[00:00] oh sorry im new here [00:00] SCD[Eire]: if you hold the shift key down you should get a grub menu. [00:00] mark__: a female bot computer program [00:00] SCD[Eire]: Couldnt get what into the grub menu ? [00:00] !gender | mark__ [00:00] mark__: yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) [00:00] male [00:00] glebihan, it wasn't shown up when I did an fdisk -l and histo didn't work and Hopsa my computer lol [00:00] SCD[Eire]: are you booting ubuntu off of usb ? [00:00] mark__, ubottu responds to lines that begin with a ! so when you see ubottu look just above to see who triggered her. [00:01] SCD[Eire]: and your computer what ? [00:01] histo, nope I have it installed. I was booting DSL so I could edit etc/sudoers [00:01] SCD[Eire]: what version of ubuntu? [00:01] nd Hopsa I couldn't get my pc to display grub before booting into ubuntu. It didn't even show it [00:01] 10.04 histo [00:02] hi [00:02] steven: hi [00:02] SCD[Eire]: Set the grub timeout [00:02] Hopsa, how? [00:03] I can't do anything that requires sudo [00:03] Hopsa, histo: let me sum it up : SCD doesn't get to get admin privilege, so we suggested earlier that he reboot in recovery mode to edit /etc/sudoers [00:03] Not strictly releted with ubuntu, but does someone know a diagram editor for use with LaTeX. I need to draw graphs, and need subscript and superscripts so DIA is no good. (Also, i already know dot) [00:03] SCD[Eire]: /etc/grub/grubmenu.1st or something like that. [00:03] what is the best way for a noob to get help with a sound prob [00:03] !details | mark__ [00:03] mark__: 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 ..." [00:03] Hopsa: yes but he cannot edit this file as he won't have the privilege [00:04] SCD[Eire], glebihan: Ah, yes he cant get admin privs. Use rescue [00:04] mark__: unfortuantly the sound factoid isn't that great for newbies, but there it is anyway [00:04] !sound | mark__ [00:04] mark__: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [00:04] Hopsa, using a netbook with no cd drive. The biggest USB I have is 512MB. Bit awkward [00:04] i've customized gnome a bit on one of my PCs and I was wondering what it takes to transfer the complete configuration to my other PCs [00:04] glebihan: did you see my last post by chance? [00:04] SCD[Eire]: Cant you get an external cd for it ? [00:05] patman023: recently ? [00:05] Not right now Hopsa. Trying to just fix it tonight [00:05] SCD[Eire]: you should be able to mount / in dsl [00:05] SCD[Eire]: Or a boot floppy that you can rescue from ? [00:05] Hopsa: he can boot to DSL from usb [00:05] I was messing aroudn with my wireless card and changed it to monitor m ode. Now I have rebooted the machine and the device is no longer showing. iwconfig shows no wireless devices but lshw is showing network 0 unclaimed [00:05] histo, it didn't recognise my hard drive [00:05] is there anyway i can re enable the device? [00:06] histo: Boot from DSL to run boot/rescue ? [00:06] i am running ubuntu 10.04 new install downloaded today no hdmi audio dont know if there is analog or not dont have any to hook up sound is onboard intel dh55hc [00:06] SCD[Eire]: you could boot the ubuntu mini.iso and maybe repair from there [00:06] no, my kernel issue - i can copypasta... [00:06] mark__: ok and its a lap top? [00:06] mark__: if it's a noob with a desktop PC, the easiest solution for sound problems by far is to install a sound card with an Emu10k1 chipset, for example an old SoundBlaster Live PCI that can be found on ebay for like $5 [00:06] histo, how big is the mini.iso? Because that'd work [00:06] desktop [00:06] patman023: yes, go on [00:06] SCD[Eire]: there are many ways to rescue a dist :) [00:06] okay, disregard my comment if it's about HDMI :) [00:07] SCD[Eire]: mini.iso is 12mb or somehting. Why are we jumping through all these hoops to begin with? [00:07] glebihan: I cannot run (even from a livecd/dvd, 32 or 64 bit) any kernel newer than even the newest iteration of 2.6.31, I end up getting a stack trace (i think) that ends in: [ 0.557246] [] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 [00:07] !who | mark__ [00:07] mark__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:07] mark__: that will help you message peole in here directly ^ [00:07] SCD[Eire]: and how did you manage to install Ubuntu btw ? [00:08] SCD[Eire]: let me bring up a mini.iso and see if I can get to anything of use [00:08] mark__, you only need to type 3 or 4 letters of the name and then press TAB to complete the name [00:08] Hopsa, borrowed a USB drive [00:08] headkase314: I was going to maybe type something like that, but you done it now :) [00:08] And thanks histo [00:08] SCD[Eire]: ughh virtualbox woes. Perhaps someone else can weigh in on if you can use the mini.iso to repair it. [00:08] SCD[Eire]: Nice to see that worked btw. [00:08] patman023: I may not be of much help in that case [00:09] headkase314, thank you [00:09] mark__: its lap tops that tend to get the hardware issues, when it comes to Ubuntu, not desktops [00:09] mark__, you're welcome! [00:09] mark__: also when you use someones name, their RIC client will useually high light the message [00:09] SCD[Eire]: Do you have a floppy or can you remove the usb stick ? [00:10] glebihan: kk, #ubuntu-kernel is dead - any other ideas as to where to look? [00:10] mark__: maybe it is simpally a pulseaudio issue of some sort, causing your problem [00:10] hey guys im trying to install office 2010 but it says it needs msxml [00:10] sebsebseb, well this is an htpc and really would like to use the hdmi audio [00:10] Hopsa, I can but it's only 512MB big [00:11] patman023: well, you can always have a look on launchpad to see if anybody reported the same kind of issues [00:11] can someone tell me how to delete an autoconnect-channel in irssi? [00:11] patman023: have you tried the mainline kernels? [00:11] SCD[Eire]: Do you have another usb stick ? [00:11] My sound works perfectly in Ubuntu Lucid except when I plug in headphones. The headphones do work, I have tested. I have an Asus g50v. Anyone got any ideas? I check volume levels already as well. [00:11] Yeah Hopsa but not bigger than 512 :( [00:11] ChogyDan: yes, and nogo past 2.6.31 [00:11] SCD[Eire]: I have a 16 GB stick i could fax to you :P [00:11] I'm new to Ubuntu, and confused about the terminal commands to set up NFS...Is there a GUI to do this????? [00:11] I'm new to Ubuntu, and confused about the terminal commands to set up NFS...Is there a GUI to do this????? [00:12] Hopsa, that would be handy :P [00:12] mikeyvee: ##winehq [00:12] SCD[Eire]: tried using supergrub disc to boot into ya system?? small iso.... [00:12] mikeyvee: sorry. it's #winehq [00:12] SCD[Eire]: Thing is, you need to boot the sucker with some media. [00:12] thank you [00:12] patman023: then you need to report this upstream, probably first by filing a report on kernel.org [00:12] crohakon: just to be sure, could you pastebin the output of "amixer" ? === kthomas_vh_ is now known as kthomas [00:12] i have broadcom 4353 what driver should i use to get it working in 2.6.35 kernel? [00:12] sebsebseb, i installed 10.10 beta and sound worked fine but to many other issues [00:13] mark__: oh [00:13] any know GUI config setups for NFS client/server in ubuntu????? [00:13] ChogyDan: ok, i assume they have some launchpad-like system for bug reports? [00:13] mark__: so you got 10.10 installed at the moment? [00:13] patman023: sorta, they use bugzilla [00:13] glebihan, how? [00:13] jdawg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [00:13] i have broadcom 4353 what driver should i use to get it working in 2.6.35 kernel? [00:13] Brb Hopsa have an idea [00:13] no formated and went back to 10.04 [00:13] ChogyDan: kk, that works then :-) [00:13] nakhlawi: that's too confusing for me to follow...I want GUI [00:14] mark__: what other isues with 10.10 when you had it? [00:14] crohakon: run "amixer" then copy the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and tell me addreess [00:14] SCD[Eire]. Good, i like to instill those. [00:14] mark__: this looks promising though, 10.10 may work with your sound, other distros probably do as well, and probably even kubuntu, which currently doesn't use pulseaudio by default, but will starting with 10.10. you could install that into your ubuntu install and find out if sound works with that or not [00:14] jdawg, System-> Administration-> Shared Folders [00:15] I was messing aroudn with my wireless card and changed it to monitor m ode. Now I have rebooted the machine and the device is no longer showing. iwconfig shows no wireless devices but lshw is showing network 0 unclaimed - is there anyway i can enable the wireless device? [00:15] glebihan, according to that my mic volume is not turned up? How do I adjust it? [00:15] what should i install if i see a message `make[1]: lex: Command not found`? [00:15] mark__: and if you had issues with 10.10, you could do bugreports and ask for help in #ubuntu+1, but right yeah, your back on 10.04 [00:15] valbaca: I don't have that option in lucid [00:15] !kubuntu | mark__ [00:15] mark__: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome.

[00:20] Hi there, Im trying to install ubuntu on a toshiba a30. But a quick search on google says that it wont. I was able to install XP, but ive tried a live CD and creating a bootable USB.

Also yeah have a look at their site, so you have an idea what you would be installing, and then to log in to it you would from the log in screen, which you can change to the better KDM even when installing it.

[00:21] gryllida, sebsebseb: mayank_gupta2005 ??? [00:21] from synaptic? [00:21] jdawg: not as main file system, no, though ubuntu can read/write it generally fine [00:22] gryllida, already tried that way [00:22] the point is that the card works [00:22] sorry if im just here to ask this question, but I cannot believe a toshiba a30 wont allow a linux installation :/ [00:22] just the system got fucked up [00:22] keyring was not working as well [00:22] i had to remove the password manually [00:22] * Hopsa Put on some deathmetal and yams [00:22] sebsebseb, should he do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" after? I don't know if that is the right command but basically to make kdm the session manager instead of gdm in case that matters? [00:22] !language | zfelol [00:22] zfelol: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:22] ok sorry [00:22] headkase314: I think KDM is better than GDM 2 :) [00:22] zfelol: check out the !wiki documentation from ubottu that i linked you to [00:22] headkase314: however sure there are ways to change back to GDM [00:23] crohakon: did you try "amixer set Headphone 100%" ? [00:23] sebsebseb, what I mean is that just installing kubuntu-desktop does not change the session manager to kdm - it leaves it with gdm. [00:23] gryllida: i have the nfs package installed, but i'm looking for a GUI program to config it [00:23] * Hopsa Mmmm, Eddie Meduza [00:23] gryllida: i know OpenSuSE has one [00:23] headkase314: mark__ no it asks which one to use on install, and I would suggest going with KDM :) [00:24] sebsebseb, ok, thanks.

[00:29] headkase314: the chances are good since Kubuntu uses alsa by default instead of pulseaudio [00:29] headkase314: however starting with 10.10 it will also use pulseaudio :( [00:29] I've a Westell Versalink 327 router, and I'm trying to take the internet in my dorm and create a wireless network.

[00:46] devon: you should go to #ubuntu+1 [00:46] Hopsa: http://paste.ubuntu.com/489495/ [00:46] i want to install ubuntu to usb, configure it and then create images of that usb key and write those images to more usb keys, can you suggest a tool to do it? [00:47] @glebihan, sorry, im kinda new to irc, how/why? [00:47] mayank_gupta2005: What is the simplescalar toolset ? / Havnt seen it before [00:47] mayank_gupta2005: Keep the output to 3 lines max per paste [00:47] devon type "/join #ubuntu+1" and you'll go there [00:47] devon: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for maverick; to join it type: /join #ubuntu+1 [00:47] devon, without the quotes [00:48] thanks [00:48] mayank_gupta2005: Ah, its for free civ ? [00:48] Does someone know a diagram editor for use with LaTeX. I need to draw graphs, and need subscript and superscripts so DIA is not good. [00:48] mayank_gupta2005: Awesome! [00:48] Hopsa: yes it is free [00:48] http://www.simplescalar.com/ [00:48] Hopsa: http://www.simplescalar.com/ [00:48] mayank_gupta2005: thx [00:50] mayank_gupta2005: Very good works. [00:51] Hopsa: ? [00:51] mayank_gupta2005: http://www.simplescalar.com [00:52] what's the utility that can detect and extract various archive types on the command line. I know there are a couple of them but my google=fu is failing me [00:52] Hopsa: yes, this tool is awsome! but i dont quite know how to use it! [00:53] aperson: tar, gzip, zip, unzip, rar, unrar and many variations. [00:53] I've messed up grub and the Live CD is not working, what do I do? [00:53] Time for a cigar, I've been saving this puppy all day! [00:53] mayank_gupta2005: Try to get in contect with the devs or other users. Progress is always nice. [00:54] headkase314: Lol! Ill have a cigarette (Although it sais i could drop and die on the box) :P [00:54] Hopsa, there's a single util that will take an archive, determine the type, and will use the correct utility (tar, gzip, etc) [00:55] aperson: guis do that btw [00:56] Hopsa, I know that, if I wanted a gui I'd just use file-roller :) [00:56] if a USB flash drive is formatted to ext4 and we use usb-creator for a bootable version -- then will Ubuntu run on Windoze??? .... so is it really necessary that Windoze be able to read ext4 files for this to work? [00:56] aperson: Yep, fairly neat eh ? :) [00:57] Is there an small OS that I can use to edit my partitions and recognizes ext4 filesystems? [00:57] opensound worked however the headphones seem to have a lot of background noise [00:57] latagore: why not just use ubuntu? Why small? Ubuntu fits on a cd [00:57] Hopsa, I'm sorry, but you're not helping, thanks [00:58] jrib: Ubuntu doesn't boot from grub nor from the live CD [00:58] jrib: rather, I screwed up grub [00:58] latagore: how did you install it? [00:58] I take that back.. opensound works when I run osstest from console but I hear no sound when trying to play music [00:59] jrib: the same way I tried to do it when it didn't work [00:59] latagore: huh? Presumably, you installed ubuntu at some point since it's failing to boot from grub now [01:00] jrib: Let me rephrase that; I installed from the Live CD on a USB [01:00] latagore: ok. Use that [01:01] jrib: I no longer have the USB; I tried reinstalling and booting from it with no success [01:01] jrib: they both stopped at one point and didn't continue [01:01] did i join [01:01] latagore, was your USB drive formatted as ext4 ? [01:02] brad8171: yes [01:02] thank you [01:02] latagore: boot the cd then. Make sure you don't have a bad burn [01:02] so for a question, I have a noname brand wireless card with the Realtek 8192SU chipset, it works fine AFTER i run 5 lines into the terminal, anyone have a good way of making it work without running those lines everytime i plug in? lines can be read at http://pastebin.com/YFYXHkCF [01:02] could i get some help? [01:02] How can I print one large image on several pages? [01:02] rsvp: No, I think it was NTFS [01:02] Do I have to just GIMP it into multiple images? [01:02] ask! | brad8171 [01:03] hi how can I configure my HDMI to make sound? [01:04] some times when i boot up my sound does not come on ,i have to shut the computer and reboot and then i comes on do you know whats going on [01:05] rsvp: Why does it matter? [01:05] !hdmi [01:05] am i in now? [01:06] steed: yes [01:07] ok, i am trying to install php on gentoo (i know this is ubuntu, you guys are pretty flexible though :P) and im getting an odd ebuild message i cant find the solution to. [01:07] i run 'emerge dev-lang/php' [01:08] latagore, just wondering that myself! because if the bios reads from the flash drive first, it must be able to handle FAT32, NTFS, or ext4 whatever well to do its bootup. -- maybe I am wrong... any correction appreciated. [01:08] and i get: dev-lang/php-5.2.14 (Change USE: +gd) [01:08] steed, Have you tried to reinstall Gentoo first? [01:08] valbaca still there? [01:08] add gd to your use flags. duh. [01:08] steed: ask #gentoo, not here [01:08] steed, I hear that that works well... [01:08] steed, Emerge Debian should do the trick [01:09] jrib, sorry guys, didnt know we had a #gentoo [01:09] brad8171, yes. I don't have a solution [01:09] thanks [01:09] System > Preferences > Sound. Make sure your settings are how you would like there. [01:10] Under the Hardware tab, the "Profile:" Drop down menu provides options === Textmode is now known as drossmode [01:11] Ugh. Are there any meta packages for -dev stuff? [01:11] silverpower: why? [01:12] valbaca when i select the radeon x1200 it doesn't work [01:12] how do i get a panel on my secondary monitor? [01:12] Because trying to figure out what Ubuntu calls all 30+ dependencies of CrystalSpace (svn trunk) is starting to become frustrating. [01:13] silverpower: you should just use the package in the repositories. But if you wanted to build the package in the repositories, « sudo apt-get build-dep crystalspace » would get you them. [01:13] and by "them" I mean the dependencies [01:13] hi does anyone know how to create a user without any folder?¿ [01:14] txomon: you mean no home directory? [01:14] yep [01:14] I need a user admin without home [01:15] hi.. is it possible to have the ubuntu netbook 10.10 window manager in ubuntu 10.4? [01:15] txomon: I'm not sure if it's valid to not have any home, but you could just not create the home directory... It would pretty much be the same. If you want to explore, you can muck around with /etc/passwd and possibly make something blow up I guess [01:15] valbaca there is 2 selections i could choose from in the hardware tab, 1 is internal audio analog stereo duplex, 2 is the radeon x1200 when i select 2 it turns off my sound,isnt that the card in the computer? [01:15] hey, if i want to dual boot win7 & ubuntu on the same 320gb hdd (win7 is already installed), how much space should I allocate for ubuntu? i think i'll keep most of the bigger files on the windows partition [01:15] coz i couldn't boot after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 [01:15] white_magic, 2-4 gb's good!! [01:16] 5 gb to be on safe side [01:16] Anybody here know an easy way to access a password in a locked keyring from the command line? [01:16] and 2-3 gb swap space [01:16] adduser -d and just leave the directory blank might work [01:16] white_magic: 40 Gbs for home 20 for / and 2 for swap [01:16] quick question, flash player 10 working right in ubuntu? [01:16] valbaca the same thing is in the output tab [01:16] quite a difference b etween rockhopper & txomon.. [01:16] dome: as right as flash can work I suppose... [01:16] dome: yep [01:16] brad8171, audio is one of those things like an nVidia graphics card, it usually just works or is highly system-dependent. what kind of computer is it? [01:16] i have flash player 10 working fine in 64bit ubuntu [01:16] lol. understood [01:17] jrib, I wanted to play with the code in trunk. But thanks for the pointer. [01:17] gateway [01:17] white_magic: how much ram do you have? [01:17] txomon: the shell will complain when the user logs in, and likely dump it in /, but otherwise I dont think its a big deal [01:17] white_magic, you can access windows partitons from ubuntu!! [01:17] 4gb [01:17] so it'd not be a problem [01:17] rockhpper: that's 'my plan [01:17] valbaca, its a Gateway [01:17] silverpower: the dependencies for trunk will likely be the same as the dependencies for the ubuntu package [01:17] wickedSA: it is just for ssh managing [01:17] white_magic, then 5 gb's more than sufficient [01:17] laptop [01:17] audio! | brad8171 [01:17] jrib, yeah, I figured as much. If they have changed, I can always build them. [01:18] audio!

Just verified, works fine [01:20] home folder will be created [01:20] I wonder if it might have to do with shutting down with the sound on 'mute' and then when it starts up it's still off and ubuntu doesn't see it. just throwing out ideas [01:21] does any one know how to get the UNR 10.10 window manager for UNR 10.04? [01:21] valbaca i know when its happening because i hear no ubuntu music when i boot up [01:21] rockhopper, the interface is called Unity, check for a PPA that has it [01:21] in the spanish channel the say I could do [01:21] For some reason I can't boot into any Linux distro with graphics [01:22] ZykoticK9, whats a ppa?

[01:51] I dont know anything about MTA so a source I can read up on would be nice too [01:51] sinman: on fstab you can see what partition is assigned for / /home and so on... type cat /etc/fstab [01:51] rockhopper, you can do this because you haven't installed anything from the ppa yet. If you had installed stuff from a ppa removing the source like that directly would still leave it's packages installed on your system. [01:52] Ok!! [01:52] rockhopper, after removing it do add-apt-repository with it again. If that fails again, go back to software sources and remove it again. Repeat until it adds correctly. [01:52] Ok!

Without the key that source line will give you all sorts of authentication errors. So, removing the line and then readding tries to get the key again. If you just readded without removing the source then you would get the key properly but you [01:59] would have a duplicate source line. So, removing the line if the add fails is just the best thing to do. [02:00] Oh!!

[02:02] ohmy: top panel > places [02:02] anybody? [02:02] ohmy: is there your partitions listed? f or WIndows or Ubuntu, or both? [02:02] ohmy: if so try to get in to them from the Live CD [02:02] sebsebseb: i can see windows partitions [02:02] ohmy: can you access though? === coreyt_ is now known as coreyt [02:03] ohmy: and what about Ubuntu? [02:03] sebsebseb: and the '/' of my ubuntu [02:03] ohmy: ok and can you get into them? [02:03] sebsebseb: yes i can access [02:03] sebsebseb: yes i can access them [02:03] I have just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10, now when i boot, ubuntu does not load into the gnome desktop, it just gives me a command line interface [02:03] ohmy: yep and there is your data? [02:03] !maverick | coreyt [02:03] coreyt: 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 [02:04] ohmy: data is still there [02:04] is there a version of ubuntu that runs on gcc 4.1 and boost 1.38 ? [02:04] sebsebseb: copied it into usb pen, this is the urgent part, i have lot of my familly pictures etc they're too big to be saved into usb key [02:04] ohmy: oh I see [02:04] * Hopsa Redies Deathblossom [02:05] ohmy: got an external hard disk to back up to or something? [02:05] sebsebseb: http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-96151 all the partitions are here but i dont know how to get grub back [02:05] ohmy: yeah what is the problem exactly, when it comes to booting? [02:05] sebsebseb: tried sudo grub-install hd0 but got http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-96152 [02:05] ohmy: I wouldn't do anything about restoring grub before getting all those pictures backed up === lotus_ is now known as lotus [02:06] guess not [02:06] ohmy:re installing Grub is not an easy thing to do, so its much easier to just re install Ubuntu, and when you do that, it will let you boot Windows 7 again as well, assuming that partition is ok still [02:06] sebsebseb: when i've uninstalled ext2fs he asked me something like do you want to remove all fixed drives i've answered yes, after i've rebooted but no grub, only a message saying no module found [02:06] ohmy: what probably happended is that the driver you treid to use, currupted your Ubuntu partition a bit [02:06] ohmy: your Windows 7 partiton on the other hand, is probably fine still [02:07] hi th0r :) [02:07] ohmy: also by the way, even if a partition was deleted, which hasn't happended for you, but if this was to happen. data is still on hard disk, and there are programs that can access it useualy [02:08] ubuntu is failing me so badly [02:08] :\ [02:08] ohmy: so no your ok, your data is still there [02:08] Hello all [02:08] hi sebsebseb [02:08] How to change the default application to run a certain file ? [02:08] my grub and boot partition has been lost... I'm running a raid, can anyone help me get this repaired [02:08] vbundi: if it was a normal set up I could, not sure about raids [02:09] sebsebseb: isn't it possible to isntall grub-pc from live-cd then ? [02:09] sebsebseb: help me with a normal setup and I think I can adapt it [02:09] ohmy: when the compuer boots up [02:09] Black_Phantom: right click on the file and choose Properties [02:09] sebsebseb: imagine my /boot is /dev/sda1 [02:10] Hi, using the eeepc. how can I restore my tray? I've tried installing eeepc-tray but it doesn't do what I want? basically I want to be able to add new icons/monitors to my tray. and remove the mail icon [02:10] vbundi: if you have lost your boot, you need to re install the OS really, probably [02:10] th0r, thanks man [02:10] ohmy: from live cd you can reisntall GRUB [02:10] filo1234: right, but [02:10] why won't this nick stay identified [02:10] filo1234: if /boot is currupted or gone [02:10] filo1234: that won't help [02:10] sebsebseb: i have only 1matlab license for tomorrow and i cant re-install ubuntu [02:11] ohmy: what do you mean 1matlab? [02:11] filo1234: save me from re installing ubuntu please [02:11] sebsebseb: Mathworks matlab [02:11] every time I open my IRC client I get logged into #ubuntu-unregistered or whatever it is [02:11] ohmy: if your boot is currupted or gone, trying to re install Grub won't help [02:11] sebsebseb: an option is to install GRUB in another partitiona maybe [02:11] lotus , open alsamixer in the terminal and crank all the ctrls up [02:11] sebsebseb: has a /boot partiton separated? [02:11] filo1234: still need a /boot in Ubuntu for that to work, as far as I know [02:12] in here there is a tut to reinstall grub http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [02:12] oops , forgot to scroll down , after being away for a while [02:12] vbundi: ohmy has a simialr issue it seems [02:12] sebsebseb last resort is use boot and nook to format the drive clean reinstall linux [02:12] ohmy: when the computer is turned on, the bootloader shows, Grub right? ,but you try to boot up Ubuntu or Windows 7, and get an error message [02:12] BluesKaj: did that. When I go to change the volume, it changes the "front" volume until it's full, then raises the master volume. After the "Front" meter is full, the changes to the master have no effect. [02:12] ? [02:13] grub will be reinstalled clean and mbr wont be corrupt [02:13] Emotard: your on about dban? dban doesn't need to be used for this [02:13] /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?) maybe this is important [02:13] BluesKaj: and in fact when I lower the "front" volume, it lowers the master volume until it's empty and then it starts to lower front, causing a decrease in decibles. [02:14] sebsebseb: No, when i restart i can't see grub message at all (at least i cant see grub-pc menu) instead i got a back screen with can't find module [02:14] ohmy: ok that means, that maybe your MBR has got currupted [02:14] hi there, just wondering if its possible to restart ubuntu without restarting computer [02:14] ohmy: however the Windows 7 CD, should let you sort out the MBR, so that at least Windows 7 can still boot [02:14] ohmy: well DVD [02:14] can anyone in here help me set up conky? [02:15] vbundi: in your case, you got rid of /boot. Grub still shows, but you try to open up a partition, and get error message? [02:15] but using the windows 7 cd to reinstall the mbr will stop you from installing ubuntu again [02:15] Emotard: right, but [02:15] Emotard: ohmy 's Ubuntu install is probably currupted anyway, because he/she used the driver in Windows for trying to access the Ext4 [02:15] Fer point [02:16] Emotard: also apparently ohmy coudn't even use the DVD to make Windows boot [02:16] sebsebseb: on boot the system says error: file not found. / grub rescue> _ [02:16] vbundi: why did you delete /boot? [02:16] can anyone help me set up conky? [02:17] i cant seem to get it working. [02:17] anyone? [02:17] Emotard: oh ohmy left [02:17] possible to reboot ubuntu without restarting computer [02:17] is this it? sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:17] yes. [02:17] brandon420: did you copy /etc/conky/conky.conf to ~/.conkyrc? [02:17] in tty 1 [02:17] brandon420: thank you [02:17] Yer he/she did :( probs to much for him/her [02:17] Eug: only session yes [02:17] Eug: sudo service gdm restart [02:17] th0r i made a new one. [02:18] filo1234: ok because when i logged in shh it, said rebot/restart is required [02:18] Emotard: yeah I guess, but if they are going to get this fixed, they need to stick around really [02:18] th0r http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6365702 [02:18] is that right? [02:18] im sure he will get back on to google [02:18] filo1234: thank you [02:18] Emotard: what they done isn't that easy to fix, but I have ideas on how to do it :) [02:18] lotus, the master volume and front volume are the same in a stereo 2 speaker setup , you have to configure the mastet volume separately for all channels in pulseauduio in multichannel systems afaik [02:18] Eug: but after some ugrades....if it is you need to reboot all system [02:19] ok [02:19] ohe: ok welcome back :) [02:19] brandon420: does it do anything?

However, my headphones ignore that volume control. [02:23] :( [02:23] lol its good to have a backup drive [02:23] when we create a bootable USB Ubuntu drive, does the format actually matter: FAT32 or ext4 ?? [02:24] would someone pls point me in the right direction? i'm want to know how to setup a network boot so I can network install windows xp home, pro, vista, run clonezilla, UBCD4WIN. This is mainly setup so I can support / troubleshoot / repair laptops and desktops. [02:24] rsvp: i asume FAT32 being windows and ext4 being linux if you format and install onto FAT32 then the usb drive would still be compatible with windows and linux [02:25] were as ext4 will only be compatible with linux [02:25] rsvp, also I don't think you can boot off a ext4 usb stick - I think it needs to be fat32 [02:25] rsvp, I'm fairly certain of that [02:26] Is there any reliable way to repair grub when something screws up [02:26] having flash memory formatted ext4 is counterproductive anyways, no need for journaling etc [02:26] lol latagore: there was just a hole convo about that [02:26] Emotard: I will now scroll up and read [02:26] !grub | latagore [02:26] latagore: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [02:27] latagore it was this part sudo grub-install --root-directory=/998554f7-1d46-4c2e-bc1b-18d8af586736 /dev/sda [02:27] BluesKaj: None of the solutions on that howto page work for me [02:27] greetings, all-- i'm trying to update the bios of a dell dimension 4400 with ubuntu 10.04.1, but this requires putting a bios executable onto a floppy disk [02:27] Ahhh, Grub2 is featured in Linux Journal this month... haven't gotten up the article yet [02:28] Emotard and headkase314, thanks for your input: the interface for usb-creator-gtk was not specific about the format issue -- curious though, why a hard drive can boot from ext4 but NOT the flash drive -- what's technically behind this difference. [02:28] .......ubuntu isn't handling the floppy disk well at all. i accidentally the block device [02:28] Emotard: That command makes absolutely no sense to me; I'm not sure if I have a drive with the same ID [02:29] latagore, then tell us what the state of your grub is , so we can try to help [02:29] would someone pls point me in the right direction? i'm want to know how to setup a network boot so I can network install windows xp home, pro, vista, run clonezilla, UBCD4WIN. This is mainly setup so I can support / troubleshoot / repair laptops and desktops. [02:29] i've formatted the thing using fdutils, but I can't for the life of me mount it like normal [02:29] rsvp: that one i do not know its a very good qustion to search for really [02:29] rsvp: that one i will be reading about tomor lol [02:30] reggi_au: for network booting/installing windows - see #windows but that may not even be possible. as for linux based os's its proberly possible. [02:30] BluesKaj: I ran my laptop recovery from the Grub menu out of curiousity of what it was; but I exited when I figured what out what it was (I didn't okay it) and then when I rebooted it, then Grub didn't recognize the partition Ubuntu was on [02:30] !install | reggi_au [02:30] reggi_au: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:30] is there a way to control usb automount? everything's moved around since the last time i ran ubuntu [02:30] Emotard, very curious indeed, thanks again! [02:30] ethana3, you are in dangerous territory trying to update your computers BIOS without Windows. Be very certain of what you are doing. [02:30] headkase314: this particular method does not require windows [02:30] Barridus: give the usb drives a proper Label and they should mount to /media/LabelName [02:31] latagore: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314 [02:31] ....but I do require being able to like, put a file onto the floppy drive. [02:31] So, does anyone else have a weird problem with gedit where the embedded terminal colorscheme doesn't match the system default color scheme [02:31] ? [02:31] ethana3: but require an executable file on a floppy :D [02:31] Dr_Willis, i meant controlling whether or not it does automount, it works fine i just want to avoid it in certain cases [02:31] ethana3, almost all BIOS flashing tools are Windows based. Is it DOS? And will it not fail and break your computer if you use FreeDOS? You need to know exactly before hand. [02:31] it said it was a bios executable [02:31] thanks Dr_Willis [02:31] latagore what state is your grub in ? [02:32] Emotard: How do you want me to answer that [02:32] hmm [02:32] ethana3: you need a flasher file for your bios on a floppy [02:32] ethana3, a failed BIOS update can require you to send your computer back to Dell through the mail for the factory to fix. If the BIOS update fails there is an actual chip on the mainboard that needs to be pulled and replaced. [02:32] latagore: I have successfully used that procedure several times, and others have as well. that seems to work [02:32] latagore: Main reason you want to reinstall grub [02:33] filo1234: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R45077&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P4_4400&servicetag=&os=BIOSA&osl=en&deviceid=308&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=6&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=1&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=53022 [02:33] headkase314: well said [02:33] latagore: has some thing scred up ? you didant specify what [02:33] screwed [02:33] latagore, I have to ask the obvious , did you sudo update-grub ? [02:33] Emotard: Grub is expecting a partition [02:33] Emotard: The partition is there but it can't see it [02:33] ethana3: some times you go into the bios and theres a menu item that you select and then it finds/searches for the bios updates. [02:34] and i think that it is an OT question here.. [02:34] BluesKaj: Can't update grub if I'm not running Linux [02:34] latagore: good luck with that [02:34] Ok, I've probably asked this many times. Is there a very similar DVD burning software for Ubuntu similar to "ConvertXToDVD" ? [02:34] latagore: you can run linux using the live CD [02:34] latagore, well, I didn't know that [02:34] right now i'm just trying to get ubuntu to mount a floppy drive. [02:34] that's the question at hand [02:34] I will copy/paste this in my notebook so I don't forget [02:35] ethana3, now if you're on Windows the BIOS updating programs are almost always Windows based and usually you're pretty safe unless the power fails during the update - then you're also mailing your computer. [02:35] is there a way to control usb automount? everything's moved around since the last time i ran ubuntu [02:35] Blue1: I'm hoping it will run update-grub when it installs again; but I'll have to try when I actually have the live CD :/ [02:35] ok, I'll back off looks like we're getting a lotta cooks in the this kitchen , looking at grub [02:35] Emotard: I don't got a copy on hand at the moment [02:35] headkase314: i'm not asking for help updating a bios, i just need ubuntu to mount a floppy [02:35] blunt33232: To convert 'video' to DVD compatable formats and generate a dvd.iso file i burn to dvd for DVD players. i tend to use 'DeVeDe' Never seen/used ConvertXToDVD [02:35] latagore: if you follow the recipe I gave you http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314 it should work. [02:36] T.T " This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers." [02:36] Blue1: Yeah, I'm keeping the webpage for future reference [02:36] I don't want it then [02:36] I have DEVEDE and never had success [02:36] ethana3, ok, just be careful dude, a failed update when you get to that step would be a disaster. [02:36] I mean [02:36] Alright this is what happened with Devede [02:36] every bios and firmware update i've ever done was a standalone thing [02:36] blunt33232: i use Devede all the time with no real problems. === [sleepy] is now known as JackInTheBox_ [02:36] i've updated my X-25M, my toshiba bios, .. === JackInTheBox_ is now known as [sleepy] [02:36] latagore once you got the live cd im sure u will sort it [02:36] I burn it both, PAL and NTSC and it doesn't work for EVERY DVD player [02:36] but for most it does [02:37] Emotard: do I just change to a different tty or whatever when I get the "Run from this CD, Install onto hard disk..."? [02:37] blunt33232: Ive had DVD players (cheap junky ones) that refuse to play SOME comercialy made (from the stores) dvd's - some are just picky (or junky) [02:37] ethana3, does this guide help for mounting the floppy -> http://www.fdlinux.com/mountfloppyhowto.html#Examples [02:37] blunt33232, look into am app called tovid [02:37] an app [02:38] !tovid [02:38] exactly Dr_Willis this one was $20 [02:38] blunt33232: Now you know why it was only $20 [02:38] latagore Yes / or follow the steps on blue1 link [02:38] Dr_Willis: I got a lot of "quality challenged" B movies on dvd like 12 movies for $5 at wally's world - they all seem to work, thus far. [02:39] blunt33232: thats not really a fault of DeVeDE [02:39] yea [02:39] Emotard: It asks to change to a terminal but I can't boot up Ubuntu from the CD to run gnome-terminal [02:39] Blue1: these $25 dvd players grandma gave out at Xmas wouldent play a lot of DVD's like the StarWars DVD's and so forth.. very annoying. [02:39] well [02:39] thank you for all your help everyone [02:39] um [02:40] blunt33232: it could be they dont like DVD+r or DVD-r or similer quirks also [02:40] hi all, i bought an Ubuntu/Dell last week, and have managed to get the video working correctly (the default proprietary drivers blow) and have gotten compiz to work somewhat. for some reason i have only one desktop and it wont let me change it in compiz. anyone else have that problem? [02:40] latagore: so you cant boot from CD at all [02:40] bart_: The default driver is not proprietary [02:40] what is a recommended feed reader in gnome? [02:40] Emotard: I bet if I knew the command/boot option I could run Ubuntu as command line rather than GUI [02:41] I'll try oh [02:41] lingm: rss reader? I use akregator which is for kde but works in gnome [02:41] I didn't know that Dr_Willis [02:41] * ethana3 restarts [02:41] bart_: Compiz uses viewports, not desktops. You want to have desktops always set to 1 then change the horizontal size instead [02:41] soreau, the default one on the ubuntu install disk [02:41] Thanks Dr_Willis [02:41] bart_: Yes, it is not a proprietary driver [02:41] Blue1, yes, but i don't want to get all the extra libraries. i'd rather a gnome/gtk based app [02:42] latagore: its a strange one [02:42] HI, is there any free linux based database software that can handle the supermarket pos/accounting having server and client, and can support printer, barcode readers etc. [02:42] lingm: understandable [02:42] Emotard: I can't get another Linux distro to work with GUI but I can make the command line work on that distro so that's just my assumption [02:42] Question Dr_Willis [02:42] for common DVD players, what format should I use? [02:42] hello, I'm trying to migrate from a gentoo .evolution directory to evolution under ubuntu. I don't have a backup archive. just the .evolution dir. Anyone got any info on how to convert the directory to match? === nso95 is now known as Nathan1995 [02:42] So you change the Compiz setting for how many desktops and it doesn't update? [02:43] soreau, been there, done that, but it only lets me choose the first one in the desktop switcher [02:43] PAL or NTSC [02:43] sarthor, there's an old program that some supermarkets still use , unix based ..it's called ELVIS [02:43] bart_: What desktop switcher? [02:43] blunt33232: \it depends on what your TV does.. Its NTSC here in america. [02:43] Latagore: is all you want todo is reinstall grub if so then the live disc and the links given should work [02:43] lingm: firefox seems to be able to handle rss feeds. I have used liferea -- it's okay. === ToAsTcfh_ is now known as ToAsTcfh [02:43] ah alright thank you Dr_Willis [02:43] gnome desktop switcher? [02:44] latalgore: boot from disc using ubuntu live CD, and follow the step by step for reinstalling grub/grub update [02:44] What they work the workspace switcher [02:44] bart_: compiz uses viewports which are part of the EMWH spec. If any app only supports desktops and not viewports, it has missing functionality and should be fixed [02:44] latagore, There's many linux pocket guides that give almost all of the commands. It's not too hard to do. [02:45] soreau: we won't get into flamewars put compiz has documentation issues [02:45] Blue1, didn't know firefox read rss too - built in or through a plugin?

The gnome widget reports the speed corrrectly but does not allow me to set the speed manually [02:47] Plus, you can always use the command line IRC client to come here and chat with uis. [02:48] anyone familiar with the flash video player stuttering(in firefox and chrome, in multiple sites like vimeo and youtube) not directly related to buffering? By that i mean the buffer clearly indicates more of the video is downloaded(perhaps 80% downloaded and i'm viewing at 20%), it is in some way related though because once the file is completely downloaded all stuttering stops [02:48] latagore, I believe the most popular one is irssi [02:48] bart_: then there is the Viewport Switcher plugin you can use to scroll-on-desktop to switch vps [02:49] or more precisecly, familiar with how to fix the flash player stuttering in that instance [02:49] seanp2k, sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g performance or ondemand or whatever setting you want [02:49] seanp2k, it only works for a session tho [02:49] sarthor, Do you not want to use MySQL? [02:49] ddilinger, no, but you can try and debug it by playing the half-loaded cached flash file for a start [02:49] ddilinger: you tryed to update your video drivers [02:49] kubuntu 10.04 is not identifying my wacom digitizer in my hp tc4200 tablet pc. can someone assist me with troubleshooting? everything ive found online so far says it should just work. [02:50] ctrl+alt+left-right doesn't seem to work, hmm [02:50] israfel: I don't understand [02:50] Emotard: yea, i updated the nvidia driver last week, using their binary driver. [02:50] lingm: playing the half-loaded file is where the stuttering comes in, or how do you mean? [02:50] israfel: What are you directing me to exactly [02:50] ddilinger: and b4 you did this was the streaming working ok [02:50] Emotard: it was having problems before that as well, its been having this issue for awhile now, just finally getting annoyed and trying to fix it [02:51] seanp2k, I went into admin power manager and dumped the power profiles i didn't want [02:51] ddilinger, play the cached file. for firefox it'll be somewhere in ~/.mozilla/firefox/etc. [02:52] ddilinger: i always use some extension to download the flash video, then play it also. similer to what lingm suggests [02:52] israfel: Never mind, I reread what you said above [02:53] soreau, thank you for your help, i selected desktop cube and it started working :P i guess im loosing it =] [02:54] bart_: Great === [sleepy] is now known as JackInTheBox_ [02:54] israfel, no problem with using mysql, even i am not expert, but i can try === Key_Gruin is now known as KeyGruin-afk === JackInTheBox_ is now known as [sleepy] [02:55] Pretty slow in here.

I only have 2 folders of files, It's not a single file like a movie torrent, it's "Audio_TS" and "Video_TS" ...how do I make an exact copy with Ubuntu. [02:57] hey guys i tried sudo rmdir blah and it says it cant becuause its not empty [02:57] mikau_, rm -r [02:57] mikeyvee: try sudo rm -r instead [02:57] misfire ;) [02:58] Lances: Nosql isn't something you can use, it's gerneralization for dbs that don't utilize key relationship structures like sql [02:58] thanks [02:58] how can i change the name of a dir in the terminal [02:58] mv oldname newname [02:58] mikeyvee: use mv [02:59] mikeyvee: you don't rename in linux...you mv the old name to the new name [02:59] blunt3232, k9copy is one that might work [02:59] anyone able to help me on two lines of ddclient for dyndns? [02:59] Doyle,but i hear about nosql is very popularity.such as mongodb [02:59] tvtime with family [03:00] israfel: I don't even understand why you referred me to a pocket guide [03:00] It's better than normal relationship database [03:01] Lances: it's a catchphraise used by the industry to promote alternate db methods than just sql... nosql is a bad term that really represents many other types of db structures. [03:01] thank th0r [03:01] How do I open K9Copy Blue1 [03:01] nvm [03:01] Lances: rel dbs are useful, and so are document db like mongo for example, if the application is document centric [03:01] latagore, You said you wanted to use the command line instead. [03:02] israfel: I said I wanted to boot to a command line of Ubuntu [03:02] Lances: it's up to the programmer to decide which db or combination of db strategies to employ for the application. [03:02] When I create a VPN connection, I have to allow it to send all traffic over the tunnel, if I select "Use this connection only for resources on its network" then I can't access any of the servers on the VPN network [03:02] latagore, Need help doing that [03:02] i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 and it's been at 'resizing partition' stage for at least 10 minutes. It doesn't seem rigth. any ideas? [03:02] latagore, There's a few options to do it. [03:02] israfel: Yes, from the live cd; because GRUB ain't working [03:03] white_magic: Ubuntu Maverick discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here. Thanks! [03:03] ok [03:03] white_magic: it could take awhile, depending on the structure of your files === Wi1d_ is now known as Wi1d [03:04] its a mostly clean install of win7.. but i also have a clean install of ubuntu 9.04, both of which would be installed alongside ubuntu 10.10 [03:04] blunt3232: I have never successfully used k9copy [03:04] blunt3232: there's no documenation for it, and for me anyway, it was not intuitive (YMMV applies) [03:04] The only difference between the routes is the destination / gateway with 0.0.0.0 is going to ppp0 instead of wlan0 [03:05] but the higher orutes should pick up first shouldn't they? [03:05] hello, everyone [03:05] redblacktree: howdy tex [03:05] sontek: in cisco equipment the routing table priority is reversed, bottom = top prioritiy [03:05] this is a extremely random question but what is the term that describes having one color and then all the shades of - to another color? [03:06] I am attempting a new ubuntu installation on a new setup (friend's old machine, my new hard drives) -- After the installation completes, it asks to reboot, I click the "reboot" button, and off it goes. [03:06] Doyle, oh I understand. It may only be adapted in certain scenarios [03:06] But it doesn't make it very far into the boot process [03:06] redblacktree: did you do a power off reboot? [03:06] I've booted again from the USB stick used to install it, but I don't know where to start troubleshooting the boot problem with the installation. By the way, I've installed twice now, and rebooted several times. [03:07] israfel: No more Linux for today; I'll figure it out from Google or something [03:07] Lances: exactly, no one can say mysql is better than mongo or couch is better then cassandra, it's all relative. [03:07] Blue1: yep. rebooted using Ctrl-Alt-Del, as well as hard power off [03:07] Blue1: I've given it as much as 15 minutes [03:07] Blue1: all I get is a blinking cursor [03:08] redblacktree: does it just loop, or what does it do? have you tried to ctrl+alt+f1 to see if you can get console? [03:08] Blue1: it does not loop. It will hang on a blinking cursor indefinitely. The machine is still responding, in that num lock still works and ctrl-alt-del will cause a reboot [03:09] Blue1: I have tried ctrl-alt-f1, no console [03:09] I'm going to try that one again, after waiting a solid 2 minutes [03:09] ctrl-alt-f1 that is [03:10] redblacktree: couple of questions -- what is the boot device? hard drive, usb device? did you install grub to the proper drive (NOT partition?) [03:10] Hey guys I have a problem where whenever I open an application now it maximizes so that I can't see the close maximize minimize buttons anymore. [03:10] Blue1: Boot device is two drives, mirrored raid using nvraid on an abn32-sli [03:11] Blue1: I accepted all of the defaults for installation [03:11] Blue1: I didn't make any choices about where to install grub [03:11] that is, abn32-sli motherboard [03:12] switz_: set the task bar to autohide from it's properties [03:12] redblacktree: oy vey I am a simple ide or sata guy I have never played with raid -- sorry beyond my knowledge level. someone with more experience might be able to help. this may or may not help: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314 YMMV applies. [03:12] I rebooted and waited more than 2 minutes, tried ctrl-alt-f1, no console [03:12] Blue1: ok. I think maybe the thing to do now is try the install again, and configure it manually [03:13] whats up with the #ubuntu-unregg channel. I done register but keep going into that channel [03:13] Blue1: rather than accepting the defaults [03:13] doyle i tried that it just opens bigger. [03:13] Blue1: thanks for your help [03:13] redblacktree: try that worth a try and it only takes a few minutes [03:13] Blue1: yeah, it's nice when it's a new setup. You can always blow everything away and try again [03:14] after replacing my ddclient.conf with the personalized one, do I have do anything else,or will it carry out its duties without my intervention? [03:14] redblacktree: yes, I'd give that a shot, nothing to lose but it might fix it. [03:14] k now the reason i'm here I have partition that is pointing to /home/my_username/Downloads but when I go into my home folder that folder is locked, how can i unlock that folder so I can sue them [03:15] sinman did you identify yourself e.g. /msg nickserv identify [password] [03:15] sinman: sounds like a permissions problem [03:15] ifkema yes I did laast night and did what the email said [03:15] switz_: use Alt+Space to see the window menu, then if you cant see it, press M to select Move [03:15] Blue1: how do I fix that [03:15] sinman: chmod [03:15] Blue1, chown? [03:16] sinman: chown changes the owner, chmod changes the permissions [03:16] blue1: k [03:16] sinman: be careful of chown... don't chown / for example... it breaks stuff [03:17] the current owner is root and not the username [03:17] sinman: try this: ls -l | grep Download and paste the output here. [03:18] k [03:18] hi [03:18] Doyle I can move it around and i can see the close buttons then. But when it is maximized it cuts them off [03:18] i am havin problems in ubuntu [03:18] Blue1 [03:18] could someone help [03:19] Blue1: this is what i got drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-09-06 21:12 Downloads [03:19] !ask | wasnik [03:19] wasnik: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:19] i deleted the 24.6.32-24 generic packages and now cannot connect using wicd [03:20] sinman: let's do this: sudo chown -R Downloads [03:20] k [03:20] switz_: ok, change your screen resolution to something else then back, it should adjust the window sizes of all your open apps [03:21] hi Bluel are you talking to me [03:21] ok, question: I chose "advanced options" on the last setp of installation, and I have some bootloader options. Under "Device for boot loader installation:" it lists /dev/sda -- which device is this? [03:21] wasnik: no helping sinman [03:21] wasnik: why did you delete it? [03:21] redblacktree: that's wher eyou want to install the bootloader, on the device NOT a partition [03:22] I can also select what appears to be a more specific device: "/dev/mapper/nvidia_jajadejc Linux device-mapper (mirror) (1.0 TB) [03:22] likely the hard drive red : drive c [03:22] Blue1: ok, so I should leave this alone then [03:22] i was havin no sound on my computer, so i read on ubuntu forum i am supposed to add these modules [03:22] so i added some extra modules [03:22] redblacktree: if it says /dev/sda yes [03:22] or perhaps, again, it's a question for someone with raid exp. [03:22] and wicd stopped working [03:22] redblacktree: yeah that might be an issue -- not certain [03:23] I am also looking for help with sound wasnik [03:23] Blue1: I done it drwxr-xr-x 3 bjlvrch root 4096 2010-09-06 21:12 Downloads [03:23] how do i find the chipset of my wifi card, `lsusb` just show "Ralink" [03:23] sinman: can you now access that? [03:23] Blue1: Thanks again for your help. I'm going to leave it installing and check on it in the morning. [03:23] Take care, all. [03:23] redblacktree: best of luck [03:25] yes I have about 3 other partitions for different type of storage do I do those the same way except put their name in the place of Downloads? [03:25] where should I start looking for sound issues on my 10.04? [03:25] Doyle u there [03:25] sinman: well the question really is, what did you do to change the owner from yourself to root? [03:25] yea... say my name when you talk to me or I won't see it... I'm in other channels also [03:26] wasnik: ok, gotcha, just a minute [03:26] Blue1: nothing, it done it afgter I had installed ubuntu using custom partitions [03:27] wasnik: have you uninstalled and reinstalled wicd? start with the easy stuff I guess [03:27] nope didnt do that [03:27] wasnik: go for it, let me know what happens [03:27] doyle: ok sure [03:27] sinman: well that's the general procedure for changing the owner to whatever - be careful doing that with system files or you may find that linux no longer works correctly. but if you stick to user files, you should be gtg [03:28] Blue1: i will because i need acces for these particuliarpartition since I set them up for storage [03:29] sinman: just be careful out there. [03:29] okay going to take a break [03:29] Blue1: I will, because if I have any tyupe of questions I'll ask here first so I don't screw nothing up while I'm learning [03:30] cd /Videos [03:30] sinman: dont be araid to ask, even if it seems trivial -- that's how you learn. [03:30] oops forgot to switch over to the terminal. lol [03:31] Blue1: I will, because I want to get around in linux as good as I did with windows but better, so I have a long road ahead of me on learning Linux [03:32] sinman: time and patience. I am 5 years out from windows now. [03:33] sinman: Today I start my 6th year with Linux. Someday I hope to be a weenie.

[05:06] Chr|s, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and you won'T need to clean insall it , you'lljust need to remove the ubuntu-destop pakcages [05:06] ahh thanks guys [05:06] Zelozelos: How do i make it a script? just save a text file and make it executable? [05:06] also, when i re-install grub2, i get this error message: cannot open '/boot/grub/device.map'.. [05:06] what's the next release called again ?

[05:07] pfifo, what do you think might have been at fault then? i wonder what i did wrong with my grub2 reinstallation [05:07] Zelozelos: thanks! [05:08] walterj89_, lol [05:08] yvw nimbiotics [05:08] white_magic, what happens when you boot?

[05:09] suffice it to say im in live 9.04 again and i want to reinstall it properly this time.. [05:09] http://pastebin.ca/1934796 [05:09] i did 'mount /dev/sda6 /mnt' and it said 'installation finished. no error reported'.. [05:09] rww: sorry.. a bit late [05:09] but im sure i i reboot, there will definitely be a problem [05:09] is grub text based only? [05:10] oh.. also, when i run sudo fdisk -l, it says at the botton 'artition table entires are not in disk order'.. [05:10] itsux2bu, i'm pretty sure it's text based only, yea [05:10] walter89_ :I can send message in private? [05:10] grub2 is *nix-aware, Windows-aware, OS X-aware?

[05:17] how so? [05:17] white_magic, what was the command you issued? [05:17] anyway, just booted.. or attempted to, and i'm in grub commandline now [05:17] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [05:17] niel_d background isnt always desplayed by default...

[05:18] it was something like 'sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt' [05:18] pretty sure that was it [05:18] hmm.. i'll go research that.. [05:18] white_magic, did you create agrub.cfg file? [05:18] neil-d -> the remote machine starts a new session but you must define a startx command , one sec [05:19] no.. should i have? [05:19] maybe the deciding factor will be books published for boot managers [05:19] white_magic, yes, thats the problem [05:19] moin [05:19] is there something wrong with Gwibber? it doesn't receive tweets anymore === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron53672 [05:19] so that is not done automatically by grub-install?

[05:21] dpac_, you may have already had a grub.cfg [05:21] ah.. that makes me a sad panda [05:21] white_magic: http://goo.gl/ymOw [05:21] so i'm not sure what the point of running grub-install then was [05:22] dpac_: that guide look great, thanks [05:22] white_magic, to fix the mbr and install all the modules [05:22] white_magic: thats an alternate way of installing grub.

[05:58] i was recording a desktop video with gtk-record my desktop and in the transcoding procces shut down itself and it was so hot [05:58] Hello [05:58] incognito: 9.04 expires (support) on 10/23/2010 [05:58] incognito, for non-LTS releases the sever support isn't longer (I think) [05:58] incognito: 3 years i think, 10.04 is an LTS [05:58] i have to get it out my lap [05:58] pfifo: I recall reading some article somewhere that dissed debian for not having bsd-type jails, claiming that debian [05:58] mickster04: that sounds about right... [05:58] how can i increase the space of my hard drive when i used wibu [05:58] sarai: well if you make it do lots it will get warm, if its an old laptop, dust and fluff will stop the airflow being so good [05:58] i just installed ubuntu 3 days ago,and switch to Ubuntu 10.4 LTS Lucid [05:59] it is not old [05:59] jp_: you can't, a hard drive is a size and thats it:p [05:59] Guest29705: Thats because the application remains there only until the sound is played. As soon as the sound is stopped, the program disappears from the list [05:59] sarai: the laptop may be [05:59] and it has a dual core AMD [05:59] pfifo: claiming that debian's support for 'jails' was not nearly as good... [05:59] wouldn't that mean that 9.04 would expire on 10/23/12 [05:59] incognito: no it wasn't an lts release [05:59] incognito, 9.04 is not an LTS [05:59] incognito: no [05:59] its a 500GB and it says only 10.00 GB Avaliable [06:00] jp_: it'll be full [06:00] A New drive i purchase 2 hours ago?

I definatly don have any BSD experience so comparing is impossible [06:01] valbaca, LTS is what?

[06:01] and i have installed ubuntu 10 [06:01] incognito, 8.04 [06:02] sarai: nothing out of the ordinary [06:02] Sakara: I've had problems (like grub issues, etc) with upgrades - it's why I don't do that path anymore [06:02] then the hard less size to 250 GB [06:02] so 8.04 will be supported for another year?? [06:02] any one help ? [06:02] Blue1: I would like to avoid it if possible [06:02] dpac_: yeah but it only gets in about 10 seconds of a song or video with any program [06:02] oki have fan issues [06:02] in a sony vaio [06:02] too many files to move [06:02] incognito, please go to the link I posted earlier [06:02] is so hot i can cook on it [06:02] Anas: sorry that is the only solution I know of....

[06:03] incognito, i doubt they will just turnkey support off for 8.04. [06:03] what is the solution ? [06:03] plz tell me [06:03] it seem is not a solution for it in ubuntu [06:03] valbaca sorry, I didn't notice it, I'll go back and look [06:03] it had Vista as factory OS [06:03] Anas: backup /home/ and /etc/ and then do a fresh install of 10.04 followed by a restore [06:03] Hey guys how to install java..??

[06:07] jp the one different part you may find is that you may need to go into your bios and select your 500gb hard drive with ubuntu if you want to use that bootloader, or select the windows harddrive if you want to use the windows bootloader [06:07] krishnandu: you're welcome [06:07] holocene, /etc = configuration files [06:07] bastidrazor, But I'm using the same, and that is not working [06:07] dpac_: is there a way I can test ALSA or the hardware card itself? [06:07] i repeat my problem : i have installed the ubuntu 10.4 on the external hard(500 GB) and the boot faild from the hd and the size decrease to 250 GB [06:08] krishnandu: did you enable the partner repository? [06:08] nope. How to do that..?? [06:08] !partner | krishnandu [06:08] krishnandu: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [06:08] bastidrazor, nope. how to do that..?? [06:08] valbaca, so if I back up home, clean install 10.10 then I can restore /etc? [06:08] in ubuntu i can see 2 partion of the external hard [06:08] !partner | krishnandu [06:08] i had a 500 GB Drive and install ubuntu on it and is ok [06:08] sarai you should take note that some laptops actually do run at those temps normally.. also if you have bios access you may be able to set fan speeds there [06:08] dpac_, i'm trying to run apt-get install grub, but tells me that it's unable to fetch some archives and to try running apg-get update' [06:08] well it's unable to run apt-get update [06:09] any one help me pleaz [06:09] 'no address associated with hostname'..

[06:09] lucid [06:09] s/updated/updating [06:09] sarai: it depends on your system, but it's usually either DELETE or F2 [06:09] or F8 [06:09] white_magic: I suspect there's no internet connection on that system [06:09] dpac_ there is [06:09] ok i try that [06:09] but when i ran terminal, it wasn't connected.. could that be at fault? [06:09] thanks [06:09] bastidrazor, valbaca should I copy paste that...?? [06:09] i see now [06:09] no problem [06:09] BRB with details on that [06:09] Guest29705: Does the sound plays for few seconds if you quit and reopen the media file? === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq [06:10] krishnandu: you could yes. exclude the little arrows [06:10] holocene, you should just be able to sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -d -s. no clean-install needed [06:10] valbaca, understood, but many people don't advise t hat. [06:10] bastidrazor, ya I did that [06:10] bastidrazor, sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner [06:10] can someone give me the address where I can download 8.04 server edition? [06:10] dpac_: yeah. [06:10] Where is Java installed in 10.04 now? [06:10] dpac_: do you think it would make a difference if i first ran terminal before i had connected to the internet? [06:11] krishnandu: sudo apt-get update :to update your package list.. then install [06:11] http download\ [06:11] holocene, it's the best way to conserve your settings. I would recommend waiting until 10/10/10 [06:11] bastidrazor, how to remove an repository...?? [06:11] white_magic: Well, I am clueless about that one. You could try copying deb file from another computer and installing it. [06:11] white_magic: No that wouldn't matter. [06:11] holocene, otherwise, #ubuntu+1 will be able to provide more assistance [06:11] WOAH.. everyone check out google homepage RIGHT NOW [06:11] valbaca, Ok. I do have maverick working in virtualbox ok . [06:11] bastidrazor, BTW I've copied the " too [06:11] white_magic, looks normal to mee [06:11] Guest29705: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound [06:12] Guest29705: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [06:12] i'm seeing a crazy script that google must be running [06:12] bastidrazor, yupieee..!! Done :) [06:12] you might have scripts disabled [06:12] valbaca: hover over the google logo [06:12] google is bieng prejudice to colorblind people, i say we file a class-action [06:12] stealing my cpu power too. [06:12] white_magic normal to me, in both .ca and .com [06:13] hmm i wonder if i need to make a screenshot to prove that google has changed something! [06:13] so there would be no way of extending my partition size because i used wubi and the highest it would let me go was 30GB instead of 500GB [06:13] incognito: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ [06:13] jp_, wubi uses FAT32, that limits it to 32GB [06:13] white_magic i see an american flag now... but under the search bar [06:14] oh [06:14] dpac_: thanks. looks like that might help [06:14] white_magic: are you talking about those moving things the red and blue? [06:14] white_magic: Whoah. That's cool. Any idea what it's for? [06:14] white_magic: Do that. Its seems fine at my end too. [06:15] !offtopic :) [06:15] no idea [06:15] valbaca, so how would i extend the partition or create a dual boot without having to reformat my win7 drive [06:15] jp_ yea [06:15] white_magic, google changes their homepage more often than i change my underwear, this is nothing special [06:16] well i thought it was pretty cool [06:16] bastidrazor thanks a bunch. I just can't get 10.04 server to work to work, so to save time, I'm going to go back to 8.04 which is supported until April 2013 [06:16] pfifo, EWWWWWW [06:16] white_magic are you on the east coast? its still sunday here [06:16] right up there with the pacman game [06:16] i'm on west coast [06:16] jp_, you can uninstall wubi, use the Windows 7 Drive thingy to shrink the partition, then dual-boot Ubuntu and WIndows 7 [06:16] pfifo: please stay on-topic [06:16] incognito: understood. best of luck [06:16] valbaca, Im using two drives instead of one [06:17] the same steps should apply [06:17] You are all amazing and thank you all for your time and effort. [06:17] i had win7 on one drive and 10.04 on the other but when i would restart i wouldn't get the option to boot ubuntu. It would auto boot win7 [06:18] guys i have a bios update but is a .exe file [06:19] how can i install it [06:19] with winw [06:19] wine [06:19] sarai: you probably need to boot DOS, and run it from there [06:19] i'm trying to run 'sudo aptitude update' and it tells me 'err http [blah blah long url] \n Something wicked happened resoluving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - no address associated with hostname)'..... someone please explain [06:19] sarai, that will have to be run with Windows. you run the risk of permenantly breaking your computer if you use wine [06:20] jp_: Thats because there are separate bootloaders for both device. You need to select the boot device from the BIOS [06:20] jp_, This is written for 9.10, but nothing should be different for 10.04 http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [06:20] sarai: http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html [06:20] can i boot a portable windows and install from there [06:20] i have ubuntu installed actually but my fan is an issue [06:20] sarai, most likely. still risky imo [06:20] sarai: see my link [06:21] valbaca: it's SOP, assuming you don't do it in Wine [06:21] SOP? [06:21] anyone? [06:21] valbaca: Standard Operatin Procedure [06:22] ectospasm, gotcha [06:22] white_magic: are you getting name resolution with ping? [06:22] ectospasm: i think the terminal works a bit differently than i previously thought [06:22] when i launched a new window, it all works [06:22] the old one was launched before i had connected to the internet..

[06:24] white_magic: that's strange. I'd have to know more about the nonworking environment to know why it didn't work. Typically the shell can have a network connection be enabled after its inception... [06:24] maybe they resolved this in newer ubuntu versions [06:24] this is 9.04 live boot [06:25] Java Segmentation Fault anyone? I'm having an issue running a .jar file I need, reinstalled java serveral times [06:25] white_magic: that still doesn't seem right, the net connection is independent of the shell. Once the network is enabled, the shell should be able to resolve hostnames [06:26] walterj89_: tried different browsers? [06:26] walterj89_: maybe the jar is corrupt? [06:27] Blue1 not using it ina browser, command line [06:27] white_magic: unless you can see a difference in executions of "env" between the working and nonworking windows, I'm stumped [06:27] walterj89_: ah I've never done that... [06:27] off topic: when is a door not a door? When it's ajar. [06:27] white_magic: but then again, I don't use the LiveCD much (last I checked, LVM isn't available using it) [06:28] ectospasm I dont think its corrupt.. or I hope it isnt, [06:28] walterj89_: does it work on another machine? [06:28] walterj89_: yup what ectospasm suggested, or re-downloaded the file [06:29] why is it that when i try running 'chroot /mnt/root' it tells me 'cant change root dir to /mnt/root: op. not permitted', but i was previously able to run it (in a previous terminal window which is now closed)? [06:30] unless i'm in that root dir still.. how do i check which is my current root dir? [06:30] ectospasm I don't think its corrupted, the problem seems to be when I put in the commands I need [06:30] white_magic: is the old chroot still mounted? I dunno, it's been a LOOONG time since I used chroot === matthew is now known as Guest29978 [06:30] how do i check if it is mounted still? [06:30] Hey I made a custom command to run when a cd gets mounted but now I need to change it.....how to I do that? I tried going to file management but the option wasn't there [06:30] walterj89_: how do you know it's not corrupted? Do you have a sum (MD5/SHA1/etc.) indicating its not? [06:31] white_magic: if mount can't tell you, I dunno [06:31] Running unbuntu 10.04 netbook remix. Sound output through headphone jack not working, but sound is fine through internal speakers. Any suggestions?

[06:32] i'm trying to run 'apt-get install grub' and it tells me couldn't get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock, is another process using it... but other terminal windows are closed [06:32] Guest29978, try running alsaconf and see if any thing is muted. [06:32] will try and report back [06:32] ecectospasm whatever is in the sotware centre [06:32] the new oracle java? [06:32] Well, i be dam [06:33] * white_magic is still desparate [06:33] walterj89_: that isn't specific enough of an answer. What's the package name of the Java that you have installed? [06:33] im having really big issues getting this Nvidia X Server settings to behave. Changing setups I get this "apply what is possible" bull, but im still not able to get the monitors up. and also it lacks the option to turn the monitor 90 degrees. Is there a better option to use ?

What command do I need to enter to run alsaconf [06:34] dpac_: in the troubleshooter it says to use command: $ find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd [06:34] or how do i restart the x server in lucid? [06:34] Guest29705: asoundconf I guess [06:34] alkemann: I don't use the nvidia settings just what comes stock - seems like booku problems if I use the nvidia x server settings [06:34] err [06:35] Guest29978: ^^ [06:35] i think i know the problem - i closed the last terminal session abruptly and the file is still locked.. now how do i unlock it manually? [06:35] Blue1: how do i remove the nvidia then? [06:35] ectospasm the jar comes from 3m for calibrating a touchscreen, as to what version the source wants.. i'm not 100% sure how to check [06:35] white_magic: which file? [06:35] ectospasm, they close the source yet? [06:35] alkemann: what card do you have? hint: lspci | grep VGA [06:35] !aptfix | white_magic [06:35] oracle: not exactly, but yes.

[09:04] hi [09:04] blahdeblah, yes true [09:04] blahdeblah, that method should still work, but now that grub2 is available you should consider using it [09:04] koolhead17: dpkg -S /usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py says it's part of python2.6 [09:05] pfifo: OK - thanks. I might try it as-is, since i'm more familiar with the old grub. [09:05] ooh. so its a core pkg in python 2.6 it means [09:05] Looks like it [09:05] where does one put a web server to be able to access it outside of one's local network? [09:05] sts193: That completely depends on your network structure [09:05] blahdeblah: I just setup ubuntu server 10.04 and am trying to run node.js [09:06] blahdeblah: If I was you, I'd just use unetbootin. Its really easy to make bootable usb stick using unetbootin. It works for any distro. [09:06] i can access it through localhost:8080 [09:06] sts193, closet #2 rack #7 [09:06] blahdeblah, i need to call py 2.6 version in my source then :D [09:06] blahdeblah: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [09:06] but not through my-ip:8080 [09:07] sts193: So do you want it available on your LAN, or the whole Internet? [09:07] whole internet [09:07] where can i find the themes that come with ubuntu? they are not in ~/themes [09:08] I'm just wondering if /var/www/ is not the right place to put it [09:08] that doesn't make any difference [09:08] It matters where it listens [09:08] (which interface, that is) [09:08] sts193: Are you on a home ADSL connection or something like that? [09:08] yes, something like that [09:09] sts193: you probably forgot to forward the port from the external IP to your internal LAN ip [09:09] sts193, you probbally have it listening to only localhost, you have to specifically tell it to listen on other addresses, use 'netstat -l' to check if your listening to what you think your listening on [09:09] sts193: pastebin the output of netstat -tupln from your command line [09:09] but I think I understand now, I'm following some tutorials and they must be setting it to listen at localhost:8080 [09:09] Yep [09:09] It's probably bound to the loopback interface [09:09] gotcha, so it doesn't matter where i run my server from [09:10] Hi there. I'm working on the kdeutils package and particularly on Ark. I'm kinda new at this. How do I only build the Ark .deb instead of all kdeutils .deb ? thanks [09:10] blahdeblah: thanks for the insight. back to work for me [09:10] sts193: yes, the directory is irrelevant [09:10] Hopsa: are you there?

[09:18] Hi I have 6 machines with Ubuntu installed on it and the updates are killing me, is there a way to install updates on one of them and have it moved automagically to the other machines?? all the machines on the same network [09:18] cutout: you probably want to set up a local apt mirror [09:18] * dpac_ has quit [09:19] ectospasm: how? [09:19] ectospasm: that doesnt solve his synced update problem [09:19] * dpac_ has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [09:19] beli: updating of OS will not affect applications and stability [09:19] Padhu: You can use eclipse and install the addons that they have. [09:20] cutout: beli makes a good point, but it depends on where your bottleneck is [09:20] Padhu: that was not what i am talkinga bout... [09:20] cutout: Another option is to push the updates through a proxy server - Ubuntu updates cache pretty well with squid [09:20] Padhu: I just started using it and you can use it for more then just java which is cool [09:20] * gunge moves to other office [09:20] cutout: you can google for it :) [09:20] whosjose: Okey. [09:20] cutout: easier than explaining the whole thing in the channel [09:20] cutout: update-manager-core.....it comes with ubuntu server edition..take a look [09:21] cutout: which part of the updates is "killing you", by the way? the downloads, or the synchronization?

Version 1.6.10ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 78 kB, installed size 316 kB [09:21] ok then it is cahcer I'll check it thanks all [09:22] cutout: Read "aptitude show apt-cacher" and see if that suit your needs well. [09:22] Is it possible to have .Net framework on ubuntu? [09:22] cutout: for automagical updates on remote machines you could create a ssh account that does the job for you on login....you can do selective updates of boxes that way [09:23] Hello [09:23] hi [09:23] whosjose: not really....take a look at monodevelop [09:23] I need some help mounting my hard-drive when I've booted from Live-CD [09:24] JohnHeikkila: are you in graphical mode?

[09:32] t [09:32] ok soreau gimme sec [09:32] thiyagi: the javascript is copied straight from the vlc manual [09:33] beli: does it create .dirs for that [09:33] hey, I want to make myself the root user. How????? [09:33] su - [09:34] ShredMaster: If you want a permament change, you need to open the user management and do something there, but if you want to be root for on konsole session, you might want to try "su -" [09:34] morning, got a strange behaviour on Lucid, when plugging an iphone4 into usb, it begins starting filemanager till infinite. Any solution? [09:35] johnH: I want to be permanent [09:35] sudo su [09:36] ShredMaster: In reality, there is no sound reason to run as root and it's a really bad idea. [09:36] Shredmaster: Let me see... [09:36] beli: where would i find them, ive just apt-get purge vlc and apt-get install vlc mozzila-plugin-vlc [09:36] !sudo [09:36] 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 [09:36] Security risks like these are one of the many reasons why other OS get viruses [09:36] yep [09:37] "su -" asks for the root password, and thus won't work on Ubuntu by default, since it doesn't have one set. "sudo su" or "sudo -i" or whatever are better. [09:37] ShredMaster: By learning how to use sudo, you'll save yourself a lot of future headaches [09:37] soreau: oki doki [09:38] * nettezzaumana hates inane sudo and in his past 10 years with Linux he used just .. no, just never [09:38] sniperjo: dude you are trying play a stream video in the first case right [09:38] ShredMaster: running as root can destroy your permissions system which is very important to linux, and it will if you use root as your 'normal' user (hint: it's not normal) [09:38] Does anyone know of software that enlarges photos without losing as much quality that I can use in Ubuntu? [09:39] thiyagi: ive changed the target to a file on the HD [09:39] sniperjo: in the .mozilla dir [09:39] knolls: as compared to what? [09:39] knolls: gimp? [09:39] sniperjo: ~/.mozilla [09:41] soreau: i just tried in gimp and it works decently, just wondering if maybe a program was better for it [09:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Root Sudo [09:41] knolls: making posters from 640px x 480px does not work... [09:42] soreau http://pastebin.com/UfLzeMTA [09:42] knolls: There may be other tools but gimp does a pretty good job and has a lot of customization options [09:42] knolls: enlarging photographs inherently introduces artifacts [09:42] knolls: enlarging images to a bigger size than they were ment to be ALWAYS makes them look bad...its just an algorithm that does the job, nothing more [09:43] knolls: you need to start with the highest resolution source image as possible. [09:43] flush: Hmm.. not latest ubuntu and possibly nvidia drivers, am I right? [09:43] yeah and only vector images can be zoomed with the same quality [09:43] knolls: algorithms that interpolate the added bits will never do a perfect job [09:43] knolls: your best option is to use GIMP and scale up using the Lanczos kernel [09:43] soreau you are absolutely right [09:43] beli: i have a extensions and firefox dir in ./mozilla , the dir in the extensions has got some random long name with nothing in it . also im pretty sure the the vlc controller is listed as a plugin, not extension [09:44] but what makes makes me wonder is that it was working.. just that i dont remember how i used to boot it [09:44] ;( [09:44] ectospasm: what i might do is redesign it at the size i want it to be, or smooth it out the way it is... really simple lines, no big deal [09:44] flush: I will have to say, easy one shot sure fire solution is to perform a fresh installation of ubuntu 10.04 [09:44] anybody using dual monitors on their laptop - I have Intel card and I use "Monitor Preferences" to set up dual monitor.. I have this annoying label on the top-left of the screen which shows its name. Can I get rid of it ? [09:44] sniperjo: hmm, ok, it was just an idea...dont know that plugin [09:45] basically i'm dealing with an image full of text and a few other simple things, i just suck with the gimp unfortunately [09:45] flush: We could diagnose whatever setup you have currently but I can tell you from my experience, that is a crash caused by nvidia drivers (in which case you can try reinstalling the driver or using a different version of it) [09:45] knolls: for natural smoothing on making an image bigger use BILINEAR option [09:45] knolls: or use SVG, so it will scale well [09:45] ectospasm: lol, he's talking about pixel data, not vector stuff [09:46] soreau interesting ill try this thanks mate [09:46] beli: yeah, but he could recreate what he wants in inkscape, and it will scale MUCH better [09:46] ectospasm: an image of his wife? recreated with inkscape? umm... [09:47] beli: I saw "really simple lines" and thought a drawing, not a photo. Forgive me for not reading! (-; [09:47] can i post a link in this room with the image i'm working with?

[09:57] Ardril: I suspect the problem is with that package and since you said it's provided by vlc, perhaps you should seek out a different version of vlc through ppa repo/deb packages or building it yourself from source [09:57] tschundeee: Isn't it available in the repository?

[10:00] hi all, is it really worth using a fresh install to upgrade Ubuntu or will an upgrade from within the OS be equally fine? [10:00] mayank_gupta2005: I don't know, maybe try #sim-safe [10:01] somethinginteres: upgrade usually works fine [10:01] mayank_gupta2005: or use the appropriate forums provided by that project [10:01] somethinginteres: A fresh install would definitely be better than an upgrade but you'd have to reinstall all your packages again. Upgrading would save you the headache of installing all packages all over again.

Problem is, they've got lots of partitions, and therefore Nautilus pops open like 8 windows when I plug the drives in, and it is a total frustration and unwanted. I have no problems with disabling this functionality entirely. How might I go about supressing the browser window that appears when a new harddrive is plugged in? Thanks a bunch! [10:42] sniperjo: vlc perhaps doesn't support the codec used? i don't know [10:43] avi__: I think.... In Nautilus, Edit --> Preferences --> Untick Browse Media when inserted. [10:44] red2kic, It was something along those lines, thanks so much! I really didn't want to spend my time hunting around for that preference if I didn't absolutely have to. Thanks again!

That way, you can confirm it for me. :) === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [10:44] red2kic, avi__: it's the right option [10:45] red2kic, No I did, that's what I was saying :) It was actually Edit>Prefs>media>untick.

Thanks. :0 [10:46] typing who shows only root as logged in [10:47] Flynsarmy: w works of uid [10:47] Flynsarmy: you have created a user sharing the same uid as root - that's your issue [10:47] ikonia: yea :( how can i now remove it? [10:48] Flynsarmy: use the -f option [10:48] Flynsarmy: use the -f option [10:48] Flynsarmy: you'll have to use the gui, or manually remove it from the password and shadow file [10:48] Flynsarmy: userdel -f tempuser [10:48] glebihan: careful that may remove root to as the uid is not uinque [10:48] glebihan: userdel -f tempuser results in 'user tempuser is currently logged in' [10:49] ikonia: jeez, that message might have been helpful before i'd actually tried it :) luckily it failed [10:49] Flynsarmy: that is probably a security due to the fact that this user has the same user ID as root [10:49] FUCKER KUCKKERS [10:49] Flynsarmy: there was no actual risk, there's no way to delete the root user [10:50] * Calinou changed his ubuntu theme [10:50] OK, i just modify /etc/passwd with nano? and whereis the shadow file?

Currently only question marks are inputed. [11:05] djolefol: you should ask on #winehq [11:11] hey everyone. I have an nvidia 6600 dual head video card in my ubuntu lucid machine (amd64). The nvidia proprietary driver was giving me trouble, so I deactivated it. The setup works almost with a dual monitor setup (one right of the other) but one of the two monitors is shown in the monitors tools as unknown and the resolution isn't detected correctly. I can only select resolutions up to 1024x768 while it actually can handle up to 1280x1024. How do I [11:11] SmokeyD: you'll need the nvidia drivers most likley to get the max resolution out of it [11:12] do some of you own Radeon 5770 graphic cards ? no driver issues on Ubuntu ? [11:13] ikonia: there is no way to do it without the nvidia driver? One of the two monitors is detected correctly and I can set it to it's native resolution of 1280x1024, but with the other one I can't. So the driver càn handle 1280x1024, it just detects the resolution for that one monitor incorrectly [11:14] ikonia: it doesn't matter to which of the two heads I connect the monitors. I already tried switching them but it gives the same results [11:16] hi. Total Ubuntu beginner here... I used to connect to my debian server with putty, and it worked ok. Trying to connect from ubuntu with: "ssh root@myhost.com" requests password (which I input correctly) but then gives me always access denied. What am I missing? [11:16] Can someone suggest me an application which shows me (on the system tray or on desktop like screenlet or something ) who are on the LAN i use and who is using my wireless (which has no password on my area) . I know my routers password and username. [11:18] How come after uninstalled empath, when I click on chat in the indicator applet it still pops up? [11:18] Aldus: have you allowed root logins on the debian server? [11:18] any experienced moinmoin users about who are familiar with the ubuntu docs on the subject? [11:18] I honestly don't care for empathy, and quite particular to pidgin [11:18] phlak_user: I never did it, but putty always worked [11:18] and it still wokrs from my colleague's win computer [11:18] Chr|s: because either 1) you haven't installed all of Lucid's updates, or 2) you haven't logged out since removing Empathy, or 3) something is broken. [11:18] Aldus: you can also enable verbose by ssh -vv root@blahblah [11:19] Aldus: that might give you a clue [11:19] rww: must be I haven't logged out since removing Empathy. I didn't think I had too when I uninstall an app [11:19] clik_op: not sure if theres an app like that; though you can use wireshark/tcpdump/ethereal to sniff [11:20] phlak_user, : I get "Authentications that can continue: publickey,password" "Permission denied, please try again. [11:20] " [11:20] Chr|s: The indicator applet doesn't pick up on programs disappearing until after logout. This is better than the pre-update situation, when it didn't pick up on them disappearing at all :\ [11:20] phlak_user: no no. i know to use wireshark a little bit. i know the other app like this. but i need to see it everytime. there are many reasons to use them. but i can not log on from brosers everytime to look them :( [11:20] rww: ahh ok, thanks [11:21] phlak_user: where i can find a software like that ? [11:21] Aldus: also, if you have access to the debian server looking at /var/log/auth.log might throw up some clues [11:21] what's a normal speed of transfering files over wifi to a networked box? i'm getting about 220KB/s copying a few ISO's up from my laptop over wifi to a wired nas box [11:21] is that a normal rate?

Currently running off the CD (I tested it like that first) and it's fine, it won't just boot from the HDD. The HDD configuration is two 1TB disks that are connected into a single RAID array. I tried installing it with the disks seen as separate MS-DOS disks and even just one (unplugged one of the [14:56] m physically) and there was no change. ubuntu won't simply boot :( [14:56] can anyone help me get it working?

[15:31] Stupid flipping highlight spacky bots [15:32] I am trying to install mdk3-v6 (necessary for aircrack-ng), I always get "ERROR 127", any idea? [15:32] hmm [15:32] i was wondering i looked online and didnt find any thing i just upgraded to 10.10 and wine and virtualbox where disabled in my third party software how can i undisable them? [15:32] ChesterX, why do you need mdk3-v6 ? [15:33] !maverick | tacomaster [15:33] tacomaster: 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 [15:33] glebihan: Just old operating systems that I dont use anymore [15:33] ChesterX, ok, i see [15:33] Benwa, I am working with aircrack-ng and mdk3-v6 has to be installed to get the ESSID [15:33] flupke: Add "rdblacklist=nouveau nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0" to your kernel arguments. [15:34] ChesterX, airodump-ng can get the essid [15:34] I have a bunch of old operating systems that I want to get rid of to free up space. How can I do this? [15:34] Solved: so they are installed on their own partition ? [15:34] jasonb, ok thanks [15:34] I'm using less and it stopped taking up/down/left/right arrow keys, page up/page down keys, etc and instead prints the key press in escaped form. How do I get it back? [15:34] yes [15:34] I just uninstalled the ATI proprietary drivers because they were not working properly, and now I can't start KDM. I tried installing fglrx package, but still the same problem. What can I try? (ATI HD4870) [15:34] ChesterX, #backtrack-linux [15:35] Solved: well, just delete those partitions (use gparted) [15:35] ok [15:35] will that free up space for my new operating system [15:35] Solved: be sure to backup any data before you do that [15:35] ? [15:35] yes [15:35] I am trying to do that [15:35] but it keeps saying [15:35] glebihan, Solved, are there entries in GRUB for the other partitions before you delete them? [15:35] Solved: yes, if you resize the partition of your current system (you'll need to use a live CD in order to do that) [15:36] I dont know what you mean [15:36] glaucous: you need to move your xorg.conf to backup file and then type startx [15:36] Benwa, I am using a GUI for aircrack-ng which needs mdk [15:36] how do I resize the partition? [15:36] buntunub: Thanks, seems smart. sec [15:36] I put in cd [15:36] then I choose try ubuntu without installing? [15:37] Solved: you boot from the CD, launch gparted, delete the partitions on which the unused OS are installed, then grow the partition of your current system [15:37] Solved: yes [15:37] how do I grow the partition of my current system using gparted? [15:38] http://paste.linuxassist.net/215420 [15:38] Solved: it's very simple, once you'll have deleted the other partitions, right-click on the partition of your current system and select "Resize/Move" (in gparted) [15:38] I need some help with find and sed [15:39] and what do I choose to resize it to? [15:39] I'd like to be able to duplicate and rename files in a directory [15:39] rbellamy: what do you want to accomplish? [15:39] I don't have the issue with other cli programs [15:39] any recommended way of installing python 2.5 on lucid= [15:39] ? [15:39] rbellamy: rsync will duplicate... mv will rename... am i missing something? :) [15:40] mv moves [15:40] zidoh: why do you want to do that ? (Python 2.5 is not supported anymore) [15:40] When installing fglrx from repository, is it the same as installing drivers from the ATI website? Except that they're older, of course. [15:40] glaucous: yes. [15:40] zidoh, Lucid already comes with Python 2.6.5 is there a specific reason you need 2.5? [15:40] Seppoz: what is a rename if not a move? [15:40] rbellamy: why don't you just use cp in a for loop? [15:40] Vroomfondle: Thanks [15:41] glebihan, headkase314: framework that requires 2.5 unfortunately [15:41] jrib, well, first, cuz I'm slow sometimes, and then on second thought, because the for loop breaks when iterating large populations [15:41] Vroomfondle: Should I install xorg-driver-fglrx as well? [15:42] glaucous: I think that'll get installed automatically, but if not then yes you should [15:42] Hi again [15:42] zidoh: you'll find python2.5 there : http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.5/ [15:42] rbellamy: well you'll have to use cp anyway with your xargrs [15:42] Vroomfondle: Okay, doing that. Because some programs that rely on ATI Overdrive didn't work now, but will test in a second. [15:42] helo_, so I've got a this file, named file.py, and I want to create a duplicate of that file, in the same directory, with the name file-1.py [15:42] glebihan: yeah, just wondered if there was a more "recommended way" other than simply compiling it from source [15:42] Can anyone tell me what Install Release is for under System/Administration ??? [15:43] rbellamy: cp file.py file-1.py [15:43] zidoh: no, the last 2.5 release is a source only release [15:43] jrib, yes, but I need to munge the name with sed (or some other incantation) BEFORE I create the cp command [15:43] glebihan: okay :) [15:43] meingbg, yep, now do that for 50k files? [15:43] rbellamy: for x in *.py; do cp "$x" "${x%.py}-1.py"; done [15:43] cp file.py anotherfile.py [15:43] zidoh, I just checked Synaptic, there is no Python 2.5 available. You should not install it from python.org as the already installed python 2.6 is used all over in Ubuntu. It would likely break something. So, can you find an updated version of that framework which will work with 2.6? [15:43] I can't connect to eth0, wireless works and apt has problems braging about how he "can't translate name". I am using 10.04 on samsung n130. [15:44] rbellamy: maybe easiest way is to just use "rename" instead of cp [15:44] helo_, for loop breaks at large populations... [15:44] jrib, that RENAMEs the file, not duplicates with new name [15:44] rbellamy: erm, yeah oops [15:44] What do you use to backup system, and restore from an IMAGE? [15:44] rbellamy: is your population of python scripts that big? [15:44] headkase314, zidoh: it won't break anything, the default version will remain 2.6, python handles very well having several versions installed [15:45] <_hans> rbellamy: make a python script that can do it [15:45] headkase314: unfortunately not.. i guess i'll have to take my chances that make altinstall will not break everything [15:45] rbellamy: right a small script that takes as input the filename and does the cp with munging then [15:45] helo_, that is my example.... they're actually binary files [15:45] I found the error is with what I was piping to less [15:45] what's the best kernel to use right now to make the most of an i7 with Hyper-threading and 8gb of ram ? [15:45] _hans, yeah, I'd like to, but I want a bash solution.... [15:45] zidoh, glebihan thank you for the clarification glebihan [15:45] DaveWM, the newest? [15:45] redbullfx, you might want to check out Clonezilla a live CD similar to Norton Ghost [15:45] hey guys, for some reason my Ubuntu boots into busybox anyone have an idea why this might be ? [15:45] <_hans> rbellamy making a bash script shouldnt be too hard either i think [15:46] headkase314: you're welcome [15:46] rbellamy: #bash will have a good solution [15:46] i'm in the expert install mode, and have the plain linux-generic, -image-n.n.... server, and virtual varieties [15:46] heh [15:46] DaveWM, and I don't think any of them are taking advantage of the TXT extensions yet.... [15:46] ZykoticK9: Thanks i will check it out. [15:46] DaveWM, 2.5 series? :D [15:46] _hans, helo_, okay, to be more specific, I was looking for a one-liner [15:46] glebihan: ok, sounds good :) [15:46] didnt know if maybe i should be using a server kernel instead, lol [15:46] Vroomfondle: Still having problems that ATI Overdrive won't work with my applications. And I do not have amdcccle installed either (ATI control panel) [15:47] DaveWM, I think there is no specific desktop kernel [15:47] i guess i'll just go with 2.6.32-24-generic [15:47] <_hans> rbellamy, this: for f in `find .`;do cp "$f" "$f-1"; done; only you need to do someting with the file extensions [15:47] any Xbindkeys users? [15:47] _hans, thanks for trying, but that'll still explode with large populations [15:48] I'm trying to decide on what Ubuntu edition to use, e.g. server, JeOS, or Xubuntu. I will use it on a virtualized guest as a desktop workstations for several users connecting over VNC/RDP etc. That is, it will be virtualized, but still have all the graphics stuff. [15:48] anyway, its not super important, i just didnt know if any one out of these choices would be much better on my hardware than the other [15:48] <_hans> rbellamy, than the only other option i can think of is making a script [15:48] ghostoyo, don't pm without asking... [15:48] #bash will almost always result in the best advice regarding bash scripting :) [15:48] glebihan: I managed to add the key to the repository. Now where in the package should I enter the public key so that it can be signed? [15:49] rbellamy: I'd use a python script to do what you want to [15:49] meingbg: what are you looking for? applications, graphics, certain features? [15:49] helo_, okay then, that's me being dense... thanks! [15:49] Aioros: you want to sign each package individually ? [15:50] how can i get into the grub boot menu on default ubuntu 10.04 install ? [15:50] Yes [15:50] dekroning: hold shift as it boots [15:50] dekroning: with shift key [15:50] Is there any how to? [15:50] hello allllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [15:51] Aioros: that's normally done when building the package with dpkg-buildpackage [15:51] UserX: I don't really know the differences between them. If they all are connected to the same repositories I guess it doesn't matter that much. I want KDE and/or GNOME as well as some feature to nullify unused parts of the HD. [15:51] Aioros: but apt doesn't use individual package signing for now [15:51] But it will use the private key that I generated? [15:51] the dpkg-buildpackage [15:52] glebihan: for some reason that doesn't seem to work for me [15:52] When installing ATI drivers from their website, do I need to uninstall current fglrx? [15:52] Aioros: as long as you're building with the same user and that the fields in control files are properly set, yes [15:52] hello ubuntu lovers, i m new on ubuntu and i get error everytime.. please help me out.. Error report ss is here ; http://bit.ly/atPeQ0 [15:52] glaucous, yes, uninstall the previous drivers prior to installing the newer ones [15:53] UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized. [15:53] headkase314: Alright [15:53] dekroning: maybe you're using grub1 (although with normal lucid installation it should be grub2), in that cas it's escape [15:53] UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized. [15:53] UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized. [15:53] I understand if I recompile the package with the same user he signs the package correctly. I'll try to do. Thanks [15:53] meingbg: if you're after performance KDE and Gnome are considered heavy-weight [15:54] don't click on wickedwayz link! OPs please remove this fool. [15:54] glebihan: i think i'm using grub2 to really, but i just don't see that "grub message" during boot up [15:54] wickedwayz: this really sucks [15:54] gschwepp: i know man [15:54] :D [15:54] glebihan: so i hold down shift trough the whole boot up [15:55] thats a joke [15:55] just joke [15:55] dekroning: could you pastebin your "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" file ? [15:55] i can read it sucks anyway. [15:55] does holding shift do something? [15:55] dekroning: if you're using 10.04 it'll be grub2. [15:55] wickedwayz: and things like "Get a life" how much live you got to do this? :D [15:55] itbcn8: holding shift displays the grub2 menu. by default it does not show unless you have another o/s [15:55] glebihan: i can't reach it at the moment i'm afraid, since it's not booting up... but giving me the (initramfs) prompt during boot [15:55] yeah i'm using 10.04 [15:55] wickedwayz: that's totally inappropriate for this channel, and it also causes a dialog window to show up that won't go away. please do NOT do anything like this again. [15:56] UserX: thanks nice to know :) [15:56] UserX: Is there any particular difference between the editions that I should take into account? [15:56] UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized. [15:56] dekroning: have you tried both shift keys (I think only one of them work, but I don't know which) ? [15:57] meingbg: optimised for performance? such as ram/cpu useage? [15:57] glaucous, yes , but remove it at a tty prompt after stopping the window manager gdm or kdm depending on your desktop (sudo service g/kdm stop) ,then after installing start gdm again. [15:57] glebihan: ah ok ill try the right key [15:57] how do you close this thing wikedwayz? [15:57] Hmm. Is there a way to make a Unmounted partition, NOT show up in the places menu. [15:57] wickedwayz: how do you close your link? [15:57] Op can wickedwayz please be banned. [15:58] itbcn8: re-start system [15:58] itbcn8, log out an back in [15:58] Does anybody have any working Active Directory configs for hardy? [15:58] UserX: Yes. Is there any difference? [15:58] Dr_Willis: comment it out /etc/fstab [15:58] BluesKaj: Hm, didn't do that. Although I did follow some cleaning file advices [15:58] wickedwayz: haha, sooooo funnyy.... [15:58] BluesKaj: Should I install after stopping kdm as well? [15:58] itbcn8: just killing the browser should do. [15:58] lol wickedwayz just kill browser [15:58] UserX: its not in fstab. :) but the Places menu sees/shows it and lets it get mounted [15:59] I get results with "getent passwd" [15:59] where can I find out about upcoming ruby support in ubuntu? [15:59] meingbg: Kubuntu use KDE. it's heavy. Ubuntu uses gnome. It's also heavy. Xubuntu and Lubuntu are considered more lightweight. [15:59] gschwepp: both [15:59] wickedwayz: just killed firefox [15:59] ruby 1.9.2 has been out about a month now, I'm just wanting to know when I can apt-get install it [15:59] but "getent group" fails with an error [15:59] i'll do it unstopable [15:59] blue_anna: there may be a PPA for it. [15:59] :D [16:00] itbcn8, Alt+F2 to get a command launcher, enter "xkill" without quotes and press enter then when cursor changes to skull and crossbones click browser window [16:00] Anybody? [16:00] wickedwayz: you cant ;) you can always kill your process [16:00] UserX: But installing gnome or KDE on top of Xubuntu or Lubuntu would make it just as heavy, right? [16:00] if i reinstall virtualbox will i loose the os's that i have or will they be added to the new virtualbox? [16:00] Working AD LDAP config for Hardy? [16:01] tacomaster: the settings should remain [16:01] tacomaster: you won't lose them [16:01] I am trying to boot the live CD but it keeps freezing after allready booted. What can I do to fix this? [16:01] tacomaster: no - they're images, and they stick around if you update virtualbox [16:01] glaucous, are you running kubuntu or ubuntu , kdm is kubuntu, gdm is gnome/ubuntu ? [16:02] there were news reports that said to expect it to come to ubuntu in august :P [16:02] I am trying to boot the live CD but it keeps freezing after allready booted. What can I do to fix this? [16:02] BluesKaj: Kubuntu, kdm. [16:02] wickedwayz: you seem to be forgetting the majority of people aren't dumb in this channel... go play your jokes elsewhere [16:03] hi guys, i've just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on the way to 10.04, and i'm getting the following from apt: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/is0hFz8h [16:03] any ideas how to clean this up? [16:03] I am trying to boot the live CD but it keeps freezing after allready booted. What can I do to fix this? [16:03] glebihan: In my case, the packages will be rebuilt elsewhere. Is there a way to sign a package with the public key that I already have? [16:03] what are you booting ? ubuntu or windows ? [16:03] ubuntu [16:04] 10.10 ? [16:04] 10.04 [16:04] Aioros: as I said, dpkg-buildpackage should handle this, but why do you need it ? [16:04] glaucous, try this tutorial , http://pastebin.com/Bsu6Qvxz [16:05] Im having a problem with the CD player on my computer... sometimes it doesnt read the CD thats in the drive, and I have to reboot the comp and it works... Im wondering how I can go about diagnosing the problem and fixing it? [16:05] i just upgraded from 9.1 to 10.04 [16:05] or .0x [16:05] Why do I have INSTALL RELEASE when i did a full install???? [16:05] under system/administrative [16:06] BluesKaj: Okay easy enough. It's just that when I did apt-get install fglrx it seems like it didn't install things like xorg-driver-fglrx [16:06] glaucous, after running the tutorial , ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to the desktop [16:06] It is here that the company often need to change packages to work correctly on our system. So in this case, packets are generated by more than one person. [16:07] Sorry, my lack of knowledge. [16:07] Aioros: in that case, you 'll have to make your key available to other people building the packages [16:07] BluesKaj: yes no problem, I know how to handle ttys (kind of). The problem is which packages that I should install, and if I perhaps should use drivers from ATI's site, even though then should be the same (but older) [16:07] Aioros: you can sign a package with debsign [16:07] My question is just how these people will be able to sign the package you just recompile. [16:07] Aioros: then the "-k" option of dpkg-buildpackage can be used to specify which key to use for signing [16:08] Perfect! I'll try to do this. [16:08] glaucous, the X window has to be stopped in order to remove a graphics driver , that's the reason for stopping kdm . otherwise if X is running it's using the existing driver and won't uninstall and you can't install a new driver oover top an existing one. [16:08] in this case the key must be in a file or text? [16:09] for multiple monitors, does one desktop environment play nicer than another, between gnome and kde that is ? [16:09] BluesKaj: I understand, but the driver is already (hopefully fully) uninstalled. The problem is installing. [16:09] Does anybody have any working Active Directory LDAP configs for hardy? [16:09] hello, is there a digital clock screensaver for ubuntu/gnome? [16:09] Aioros: the key must be in the gpg files, and the key ID has to be specified with -k [16:10] BluesKaj: But it seems like it should be these packages: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer [16:10] glaucous, I'm not sure which driver works with your graphics card , the info is sketchy , xserver-xorg-video-ati might work , not sure [16:10] then, dpkg-buildpackage -k XXXXXXX [16:10] Aioros: that's why you'll have to share your key so that other people can use it for signing [16:11] Aioros: yes, but without the space after -k [16:11] Ok, i will try. Thanks ;) [16:11] Aioros: you're welcome [16:12] glaucous, yes I think you have it [16:13] i've just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on the way to 10.04, and i'm getting the following from apt: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/is0hFz8h anyone able to point me in the right direction? [16:15] BluesKaj: Not working, guess I'll have to try drivers from website. [16:15] Glenjamin, are you using the Desktop or Server version of Ubuntu? If it's server you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server [16:15] ZykoticK9: its server, thanks [16:15] many xfce users? [16:16] Kaie` I like it but its slow without native opengl [16:16] I'm on a powerpc, no driver for me :( [16:16] ah [16:17] im on a netbook so i figured the lightweightness would be in my favor [16:17] well a netbook right now [16:17] as long as you have native 3d acceleration it should be [16:17] glaucous, ok , ati linux support has become problematic lately ...maybe the proprietary driver will work , can anyone recommend an ATI driver for HD4870 ? [16:17] when they changed the core to use the same codebase that gnome uses it slowed it down a lot, but it also added all the eye-candy I like :) [16:18] BluesKaj: Latest (10.8) should work (according to ATI at least), but you never know. [16:18] Kaie`, xfce really isn't "much" lighter then Gnome, see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1 [16:18] Is there anyone who can help me get Zeitgeist and gnome activity journal workking (together). I hav both installed and running but there seems to be no way for me to access Zeigeist and no sign of activity in the activity journal. [16:18] glaucous, does ati say explicitly that it works on lucid 64 bit ? [16:19] BluesKaj: Just Linux 64 bit, but you can build .deb files for lucid [16:20] Alternatively, is there a better forum in which to ask my zeitgeist/activity journal question? [16:21] glaucous, ok good to hear [16:21] ok the test run worked fine on this laptop. Now i did an actual install but after upgadeing it it no longer will run X [16:21] hi everybody [16:21] can someone help me getting my microphone [16:22] im assuming it has something to do with the video driver. I want to just put it back to vesa..but there appears to no longer be an xorg.conf? how do i set the video back to vesa.. ( i use to love the dpkg-reconfiugre of this that is also aparently now gone) [16:22] using ubuntu 10.04 in sony vaio vgn cs16g [16:22] BluesKaj: http://blog.hotsquid.org/2010/05/updating-to-ati-10-4-onlucid/ - Now that's 10.4, but it's the same. will try installing with kdm stopped [16:23] any body interested on helping me? [16:23] blackdoggy: did you try asking google? [16:23] i did [16:24] !helpme | blackdoggy [16:24] blackdoggy: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [16:24] blackdoggy: what's the issue ? [16:24] glaucous, ok , after download , make the file executable in properties [16:25] BluesKaj: Yup, have done this before, hopefully it'll be successful this time :) [16:25] ok glaucous :) [16:25] glebihan... i cant use my microphone in ubuntu 10.04 [16:25] I have installed 10.04 on my machine and my monitor is of 20 inches... my problem is that am not able to see the characters very clear... my resolution is 1600x900 @60Hz , how I can solve this.. [16:25] can anyone think why ubuntu is blocking ssh access to my linode server? i've ruled out the server itself, the router and my hosts file, i've no idea why its doing this... [16:25] hey everyone. i just put an old nvidia 6600 videocard in my lucid amd64 machine. I am using the nvidia-current driver but my pc is really acting weird. very often when a menu is opend, or a screen resized or the like, ubuntu freezes for like 20 and often both connected monitors show a black screen for a millisec or something [16:26] any ideas what can cause this? [16:26] blackdoggy, have you checked your volume settings with "alsa-mixer" ? [16:26] SmokeyD, do you have compiz enabled ? [16:26] Dread, did you recently reinstall ubuntu ? [16:27] glebihan its not muted [16:27] #join zipit-dev [16:27] in fact i cant even check the box in input tab [16:27] Oer: visual effects is set to None. [16:27] BluesKaj, nope, but ive been updating it, i've also recently moved house which is why i thought it was the router or the connection but i can ssh using my ipad just fine [16:29] blackdoggy, you may try the solution suggested here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/147298/comments/26 [16:30] thanks i will give it a go [16:30] Dread: So you can access your server over SSH from other PCs, devices, etc. but not from your Ubuntu PC? [16:30] rob_p, correct [16:31] Dread: Can you ping the server from your Ubuntu PC? === helo_ is now known as helo [16:31] rob_p, nope i get a destination port unreachable when i try [16:32] Dread, some times deleting the keys in ~/.ssh/known_hosts , and then trying to ssh into other networked pcs will auto ask if you want to generate new keys , then you can ssh again [16:32] Dread: What is between your Ubuntu PC and your server? Is it over the local network or Internet, etc? [16:33] anyone know how to specify pdftk input from a list of files? I have my list in temp.txt, I want to pdftk [pdfs from temp.txt] cat output merged.pdf [16:33] BluesKaj, been there, no luck [16:33] BluesKaj: He would at least establish comm with it and get an error if that were the case. But it's good to keep in mind if that happens. [16:33] rob_p, computer connects directly to the router [16:34] jimcooncat: on file per line? no space in filenames? [16:34] Dread: So your Ubuntu PC and your server are connected directly to the router? [16:34] erUSUL: yes, I have one filename per line [16:34] how can I edit a message I sent to an invalid address? I see it in my global outbox but it won't let me edit it (just create a duplicate message to send and edit that) [16:34] rob_p, yeah, I've had to do it several times and it's always worked for me ..it's dirty but it works most of the time [16:34] I have no compiz processes running and still the screen flicks a lot and the desktop freezes [16:34] in evolution [16:34] erUSUL: yes, I have one filename per line; no spaces in filenames [16:34] how to set HDMI output in ununtu?? [16:34] at times [16:34] rob_p, no the ubuntu pc is connected to the router, my server is hosted in a datacenter [16:35] anyone in here use ubuntu mainly for stock analysis? [16:35] vaibhav, attach the display, it will appear in your video control panel [16:35] BluesKaj: Heh, well that failed.. Install when well, then when booted I get low fps in most programs, some features doesn't work, amdcccle (control panel) doesnt work and so on [16:35] Dread, unles the IPs have changed ..same router and ISP ? [16:35] vaibhav, then do like in windows, enable the displa [16:35] display* [16:35] jimcooncat: then maybe « pdftk $( tr '\n' ' ' < temp.txt ) cat output merged.pdf » could work. [16:35] thanks much erUSUL! [16:35] BluesKaj: Actually, it's perfectly valid to delete the "old" entry in your known_hosts file in order for you to be able to connect from an updated connection configuration. [16:36] what this *** means on bootup: "init: plymouth main process(203) kelled by KILL signal" and the same for ureadahed(202)??? [16:36] BluesKaj, nah new router, plus, i can get to the server just fine using port 80, web access works fine, ssh is blocked [16:37] if I click resend it attaches the old message as an attachment. there has -got- to be a way to simply edit the addressee's line and then send it [16:37] (This is a test) Heh, well that failed.. Install when well, then when booted I get low fps in most programs, some features doesn't work, amdcccle (control panel) doesnt work and so on [16:37] port 22 is blocked , Dread ? [16:38] Dread: When using your ipad to connect to your server over ssh, are you doing it from your home network connection, or some other location, wifi hotspot, school, etc? [16:38] matrixa1: where is video control panel?? [16:38] BluesKaj, where would it be blocked? [16:38] vaibhav, do you have ati or nvidia? [16:38] rob_p, same internal network connection [16:39] why does my system kills plymouth abd readahead? it is bad? [16:39] in the router , Dread ? [16:39] st__: its normal here. i see mesages about that all the time [16:39] Dread: If you can access it from your ipad (or anything, for that matter), then port 22 is *not* blocked. [16:39] erUSUL: it actually worked! I didn't know the command line would take so much text. [16:39] matrixa1: its on board, its intel 55tc motherboard. [16:40] hello every body [16:40] BluesKaj, theres no blockages specific to this computer on my router [16:40] ok Dread [16:40] jimcooncat: well there is actually a limit but it is quite high ;P [16:40] excuse me but i dont speak english i have a problem with ubuntu commands [16:40] is it possible to script two actions together in evolution? [16:41] !ask [16:41] 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).

[16:41] vaibhav, System→ settings→monitors [16:41] Dread: Is your server at the datacenter, "pingable" or is there filtering in place to block it? If it's pingable, can you ping it from a different computer? You already mentioned that you cannot ping it from your Ubuntu PC, correct? [16:41] * Dr_Willis looks for the → key on his keyboard..

[16:44] is there a way that i could connect dual monitor ? [16:44] Dread: Ok. Seems to be a local issue with your Ubuntu box itself, especially since you have other devices locally that can ssh in just fine. [16:44] isaac_: i do dual and tripple monitor with my Nvidia chipset systems all the tiem [16:45] When I pipe the output of a php script to less, and I try to scroll, I get "^[OB^[OA" and such.

[16:45] rob_p, i may have found the problem, hang on [16:45] so I installed the updates for the kernel last week, now my machine boots up, goes to GUI mode, and then freezes?? [16:47] hi guys [16:47] Hello CenoNode. [16:47] rob_p, i got it, thanks for your time, it was moblock, it added some stuff into iptables [16:47] my grub is throwing some errors immediately before the OS list shows up. Is there any log where I can read those messages?

[16:48] ive just downloaded drivers for my graphic card and when i try to install it it give's me a error in red which says could not open file does anybody know what this mean?

[16:50] which package gnome clock applert belongs to? [16:50] The issue is specifically when I pipe php to less [16:50] CenoNode, not sure, but I don't think there's any log, since this happens before any filesystem is mounted [16:50] hide_, instructions specifically for a cdrom -> http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/start/t0006753.htm [16:51] glebihan: indeed. but the message flashs so fast I can't read it. There has to be some way? [16:51] ubottu thk man [16:54] Using Remote Desktop on 10.04 and TightVNC client in Windows, it allows me to control the remote desktop, but the screen does not update. Any suggestions of where to start troubleshooting? [16:54] BluesKaj: Just want to give you some feedback. Installing with builddpkg failed for me. So at last I tried the normal GUI installation using the ATI drives, which worked. [16:55] CenoNode, I'm looking if I can find something === xmu is now known as wowoto [16:57] hi, is it possible to export sound from a computer to another one ? [16:58] matrixa1: hay thanks.. done... :) [17:01] Hello. I just found out that there exists the sudo -s commad. No my big security question is how does it make my system more secure to not login with root if I still login into a system with a users who can simple use sudo -s by default [17:01] Hi all, I just updated my netbook to Ubuntu Netbook Edition and now, when I connect my headphones a weir electrical buzz starts in the netbook (but the sound through the headphones is great). That didn't happen with a Ubuntu Desktop 8.04. I don't know where to start looking for trying to solve the problem. [17:01] noo: most users aren't permitted to use sudo by default. [17:02] noo: only the login created at installation has that privilege initially. [17:02] noo: because if a user leaves you can remove them from the admin group and you don't need to change the root password [17:02] someone said something to me? [17:02] noo: also, everything performed using is logged by the system... [17:02] noo: you can edit user permissions in System->Administration->Users and Groups [17:03] noo: "using sudo", rather [17:03] hello! im trying to manually configure my network devices under latest netbook remix but i cannot stop the network manager. is there any way? [17:03] deep2k4: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop [17:03] But wouldn't it be better if the installation would create a user that isn't in the sudoers group? I mean he can use sudo to do certain stuff and still it would make the system more secure [17:04] well that was a quick answer! and it wont pop up again then, glebihan ? [17:04] noo: if they're not in the sudoers group to begin with, how do you plan on modifying /etc/sudoers to modify their capabilities? [17:05] deep2k4: just doing that will only disable it until next boot [17:05] noo: There has to be at least one user that has sudo access. That should be you. If you don't trust yourself, well you've got bigger problems! :-) [17:05] okay that is good! exactly what i need. and to reanable it i just use start instead stop? glebihan ? [17:05] deep2k4: that's right [17:06] No I mean root can do that. I meant to give less priviliges to the standard users created by ubuntu besides the roota account [17:06] deep2k4: You are smart :) [17:06] ;P [17:06] I am smrt! S-M-R-T smrt! [17:06] noo: this behavior is due to the fact that Ubuntu doesn't have a root user by default [17:07] noo: if you like, you can think of the initially created login as the "root" account. all other subsequent logins are less privileged by default. === ceno is now known as CenoNode [17:08] noo: The root account is not enabled (at least for logging into) by default so without a user with sudo access, there would be no, "admin" capability on the box. [17:08] what about this avahi-daemon, glebihan ? [17:08] deep2k4: same thing with /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon [17:09] hm sounds way too simple... man. thank you, glebihan ! ;D [17:09] deep2k4: you're welcome [17:10] okay, problems solved so far. ill try it out now. cya around fellas! :) [17:12] Oh ok I think I see what my thinking errror was: So you can't create a users who can't use sudo -s, but still can use sudo in front of his commands to execute them as root? [17:13] noo: most users won't be able to use "sudo -s", unless *you* decide otherwise. try it! [17:13] noo, you can restrict what users can to what with sudo, you need to look carefully at the manual for sudo and the sudoers file. [17:13] hi [17:14] I have a newbie question: i want to backup the entire system, not just my home folder [17:14] how do I do it? [17:14] !backup | hello123 [17:15] hello123: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [17:15] Well I think that most people only have 1 user besides root and thats why I think that it would be better to not give the standard users the possibility to execute sudo -s. It would be more secure because a user can't just type sudo -s and be root all the time and there is nothing that gets worse if you would take away that right by default [17:15] can I copy it over to some kind of iso and then simply copy it back to a virgin and empty hdd and run it? [17:15] ZykoticK9, thanks for the link [17:15] links [17:15] noo, only users in the Admin group can use sudo or in your case "sudo -s" [17:16] noo, sipior ZykoticK9 what about "sudo bash"? [17:16] headkase314, sudo anything - must be in admin group (ps don't use sudo bash) [17:16] noo: Your definition of, "standard user" is flawed. The user that is created by default is to be thought of as an admin user. If you want other users, create them. They *won't* have access to sudo unless you grant them access. [17:17] headkase314: what about it? [17:17] Can't I create a user who is not able to use sudo -s, but still is able to use sudo in front of commands to execute them as root? I think that would be much better [17:17] sipior, I thought that -s option gives you an interactive sudo? Then sudo bash would be similar? [17:17] why each time I switch users their screen appears on other console? [17:18] headkase314: it would, though it's considered poor practise. [17:18] ZykoticK9, I won't use sudo bash ;) I just read about it! =) [17:18] noo: The sudo mechanism is very flexible. Read up on it and I think it will answer your questions. [17:18] headkase314: cf. "sudi -i" [17:18] sudo [17:18] rob_p: I'm not thinking of my system right now. I think that maybe it would be better in general [17:19] noo, it's hard to decide what's better in general, sudo has been thought for personal computers with usually only 1 user [17:20] noo: lots of people have given this matter a great deal of thought for a considerable length of time. i think with a bit more reading you'll come to understand the situation more thoroughly. [17:20] In Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome desktop), Remote Desktop does not work properly with Desktop Effects enabled. Set them to none and it works fine. Any ideas on how to make it work with Desktop Effects enabled? [17:20] especially I want home, but also my users, user privileges, installed packages, startup scripts, kernel security option - so I guess drive imaging is the way to go? [17:20] noo: You can be very selective in what priv'd commands certain users are allowed to execute. [17:20] noo: It's not an all or none situation. [17:20] how can i setup each virtual desktop with their own wallpaper instead of sharing the same one for all desktops? [17:20] noo, you're getting offtopic, this channel isn't for discussion, it's for support (of real, not theoretical issues) [17:20] why each time I switch users their screen appears on other console? [17:21] however, i won't backup the entire hdd, but just the partition as hdd is too big, so how do i do to make it runnable after copying back? [17:21] ok thanks for all these answers :) [17:21] sinman, see the warning in red at the top http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/multiple-compiz-backgrounds [17:21] Hello! I have a question - is it possible to have some sort of certificate of Ubuntu Membership, so I can have it in my sort of portfolio? [17:21] and need the new partition on the new drive be _exactly_ the size of the old or just _at_least_as_big? [17:21] BasicXP, no but you can print ubuntu bussines visiting cards [17:22] abhijit: no that's not what i want :( [17:22] glebihan: I did what I said, using the-k option but still says the package is not signed [17:22] BasicXP: ubuntu membership? [17:22] BasicXP, then just ask to canonical people [17:22] sipior: yup abhijit: where? [17:22] Aioros, how are you trying to install it ? [17:22] I used the public key after the option-k [17:22] please any one can tell me on which port vnc works is it TCP or UDP? if we install and configure VNC on ubuntu? [17:22] and I have two(!!) Xorgs running, one 661 on tty7, and 1592 on tty8, is that a bug? [17:22] !member | sipior [17:22] sipior: Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership [17:22] Question: Is Remote Desktop supposed to be compatible with Desktop Effects? [17:23] ZykoticK9 ? [17:23] BasicXP, http://www.canonical.com/ [17:23] I ran an apt-get update and then apt-get install package [17:23] oryxtec: usually 5900 to start but its configurable [17:23] abhijit: so, i should contact them by e-mail? [17:23] BasicXP, yah [17:23] oryxtec: and I am pretty sure its tcp [17:23] abhijit: okay, thx [17:23] ZykoticK9: Is there another way to do it in gnome. I know when I messed around with kubuntu I could do it. or is that something with KDE you can do with no problem [17:23] Aioros, could you pastebin the output of "apt-get update" ? [17:23] ZykoticK9: thank you. [17:23] BasicXP, welcome. [17:24] wickedSA: but i mean to ask which protocol does it use. is it TCP or UDP [17:24] sinman, compiz is the only way under gnome (KDE is different) [17:24] Hello, were is the path to this file in ubuntu? /boot/grub/menu.ls [17:24] oryxtec: pretty sure its tcp [17:24] humm [17:25] !grub2 > Kritoslap [17:25] ZykotickK9: k then I won't worry about it then [17:25] Kritoslap, please see my private message [17:25] Kritoslap, /boot/grub/grub.cfg [17:25] st__, Thanks [17:25] oryxtec: also, googling is effective for this sort of thing :) [17:25] Kritoslap, that file grub.cfg shouldn't be edited [17:25] oryxtec it *is* tcp. The proof is that you can tunnel it over ssh... [17:26] ZykoticK9, Well what can I do, wine has problems with lineage 2 on ati drivers. [17:26] I tried to swithe users without logging out, and now I have two(!!) Xorgs running, one 661 on tty7, and 1592 on tty8, is that a bug? [17:26] why is it when you do a sudo apt-get upgrade from ternimal i get ***KB/s and not *** Kb/s because network speed is rated at kilo bytes not kilobits [17:26] Kritoslap, see /etc/default/grub [17:26] ZykoticK9, "I added nopat to my boot line" this is the only fix I found on the bug list [17:26] DouglasK: try the following: run gconf-editor in your remote computer and go to /desktop/gnome/remote_access. You have to mark the option disable_xdamage. [17:26] ZykoticK9, Were can I add nopat to my boot line? in /etc/default/grub? [17:26] Kritoslap, i don't see how wine & grub can be related, but good luck. add boot options to /etc/default/grub [17:26] one minute, plz [17:26] hi, looks like my old reiser hard drive was using a different charset under suse than ubuntu is using now on a new system. i can't specify a charset when mounting that old reiser driver though. how can fix/workaround this? [17:26] elpasmo, will do. [17:27] Kritoslap, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= [17:27] Hello. i tried many things but i couldn't success. so, my question is simple. How can i get 3D support from my GTX275 with 32bit Ubuntu 10.04. Thanks, so many thanks! === enoex_ is now known as enoex [17:27] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=nopat"? [17:27] !who > Aioros [17:27] Aioros, please see my private message [17:28] yunosh, why charset wasn't utf-8 in first place? [17:28] Kritoslap, i've never seen nopat as a boot option before??? but i think it would be like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nopat" [17:28] i have no idea, this drive was partitioned and formatted by suse automatically many, many years ago [17:28] ZykoticK9, There is a grub_cmdline_linux_default there with empty characters between quotes..do I make another one or use that? [17:29] Kritoslap, use the existing one - just add between the "s [17:29] ZykoticK9, Ok thanks [17:29] Kritoslap, you need to update GRUB to make the change take effect [17:29] yunosh, why you cannot mount it and run the script which translates filenames? [17:30] headkase314, I did update-grub in the terminal thanks [17:30] headkase314, thanks - forgot about that [17:30] st__: which script? [17:30] Kritoslap, ZykoticK9 ;) [17:30] which you'll write in your preferred language or find in the internet [17:31] st__: okay, i asked because you were saying "the" script [17:32] ok "a" script then [17:32] st__: that might be an option [17:33] glebihan: http://pastebin.com/0Duc3569 [17:33] yunosh: I guess reiser doesnt know about iocharset huh? suckage. [17:34] Hello folks. I have a problem using any linux and Ubuntu too. My eyes get tired quickly. I tried to play with brightness and use windows fonts, but it doesn't help. The screen resolution is 60, same as it is under Windows. Does anybody know the reason of my eye tiredness. [17:34] wickedSA: no :/ [17:34] wickedSA, only vfat uses iocharset [17:34] Artemios, is it LCD? [17:35] st__, yes [17:35] st__: ah right. [17:35] Artemios, try use full hinting+no antialias+ no subpixel rendering [17:35] st__, i use them [17:36] glebihan: I think I found the problem, I'll try again. [17:36] I tried to swithe users without logging out, and now I have two(!!) Xorgs running, one 661 on tty7, and 1592 on tty8, is that a bug? [17:36] Aioros, ok, let me know if it works [17:36] st__, is it possible, that the real screen resolution is lower then 60? [17:37] Artemios, it doesn't matter as the real resolution is many times higher [17:37] Artemios, for the 60 I believe you mean the refresh rate not the resolution? [17:37] headkase314, sorry, i really mean the refresh rate. [17:38] st__, not sure but I would say it's the normal behavior [17:38] Artemios, ok, now that's clarified see what people say from here! =) [17:38] hi, how do i install java so that i can login to my bankid? [17:39] wait in means 1 XOrg for 1 user? o_O [17:40] st__, yes, same thing here [17:41] ikar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [17:41] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, ok, Thanks!

Then just put the script in as one of the commands. [17:46] hello i tried to reset all the stupid things i did in my gnome window and wanted to go back to a "regular" view. so i formatted the root and installed ubuntu again, but there is still a lot of the old configurations that are left, is there an easy way to fix this?

My recommendation however is to use a real IRC client - xchat is a popular GUI client. [17:52] glebihan: I have a problem here because this repository was created in server with Mandriva. So I'm not apt-key installed. [17:53] Dr_Willis: probably:P just wanted to do something on my own:P (little teenager) [17:53] Smuxi is looking good as an IRC client. [17:53] mikeg3: xchat rocks!

[18:06] there [18:06] Rastafari, since you are on 8.04 this "clean install" will be much faster and much less prone to errors.

Unless of course you are using fglrx proprietary driver in which case that would be why [18:27] ikonia: when I try to start nis on client, it tries to bind to server but fails [18:27] Not sure why it is failing [18:27] anyone here has google video chat working? the plugin does nothing but crash for me [18:28] Pici: it was already installing so it got through the point where it were left [18:28] I have a problem with my sound.

[18:29] Pici: Im having trouble even installing the flashmedia player on my computer to be able to watch youtube vids. [18:29] gsnedders, do route in the terminal , see if your getting an IP gateway [18:30] BluesKaj: I'm not [18:30] gsnedders, can you ping the router ip ? [18:31] gsnedders, or modem as the case may be [18:31] ikonia: I don't see a log for nis, so how do I find out why it is failing to bind? [18:31] BluesKaj: Surely that can't work without any network? Indeed it fails with network unreachable [18:32] gsnedders, have you tried configging NM ? [18:32] BluesKaj: NM? [18:32] networkmanager [18:32] BluesKaj: Yeah, that looks right there [18:34] I was having trouble to play videos with totem or the movieplayer here , wmv avi , etc and other basic formats werent working , also i couldnt install the flash player the newest version too to see youtube vids , Im installing the 10.04LTS here , you people think it will make any difference ? [18:35] gsnedders, dunno if this will help , but insome setups NM is useless , maybe doing without it and using /etc/network/interfaces will work for you , it does for me http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/, [18:35] JuJuBee: sorry about that, I was had to step away, what's up === ServerTechPro is now known as ServerTech [18:36] Rastafari: have you installed gstreamer restricted extras?

I need it to install another .deb (for openTTD). b.) I got that deb from: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libc6 c.) I know. Last time i tried and failed, it wanted to remove like every single package on my machine lol [18:40] Rastafari: try installing gstreamer-restricted-extras from synaptic and try playing again [18:40] question...I am running server 10.04, on an ESXi system as VM, I modified the /etc/network/network file to have eth0 auto, and modified it from DHCP to static, with the IP and Gateway lines, but both of my VMs have resorted back to DHCP, is there something else I need to edit? [18:40] ikonia: any pointers to troubleshoot? [18:40] JuJuBee: you have to manually tell the client to bind so it knows where to bind first, stopping/starting a service won't tell it to bind === alacercogitatus is now known as alacer [18:40] gary_inNYC: thx , I will do that right after the packets from the newest version of ubumtu LTS got installed [18:40] evenin' all [18:41] is there a way i can force my directory to stay open [18:41] what I say resorted, when I did "ifconfig" they had DHCP addresses, but doing ifdown and ifup, they went back to the file's static address [18:41] zagabar: ok,where are you getting the deb for openTD [18:41] openTTD === krishnandu is now known as Krishnandu [18:41] ikonia: the yp.conf tells where yp server is etc... [18:41] gsnedders, what does ifconfig show ?, anything ? [18:41] JuJuBee: yes, but you have to manually bind it [18:41] egyszeri munka lehetoseg: home szerver telepites + konfig [18:41] BluesKaj: It shows what I'd expect for it being disconnected [18:42] ikonia: how then? I never had to before lucid [18:42] ikonia: from here: http://www.openttd.org/en/download-stable [18:42] JuJuBee: oh really, it must be included in the init script then [18:42] I guess to [18:42] *so [18:43] zagabar: then you need to contact them and tell them their package has the wrong dependencies [18:43] Hi My Gwibber could get new twitter anyone have this problem? Is there a way to fix it?? Thanks a lot [18:43] zagabar: I assume your using lucid [18:43] JuJuBee: put ypbind into debug mode [18:43] JuJuBee: check the syslog [18:43] ikonia: how do I put it into debug mode? [18:43] JuJuBee: -debug [18:43] does anyone know how to join 2 audio files together? so that it is 1 longer audio [18:43] hmm, gsnedders ...hardware problem perhaps ..dunno what to suggest except, ifup eth0 or whatever ethernet is configged as eth0 , eth1...?

[18:44] dean_: use audacity [18:44] JuJuBee: the one running ypbind [18:44] duongthaiha: twitter shut off basic auth last week, but this is fixed in the new version in lucid, so assuming you're in lucid, you should just need to upgrade gwibber and authorize access to twitter in the accounts screen [18:44] !info audacity | dean_ [18:44] dean_: audacity (source: audacity): A fast, cross-platform audio editor.

[18:54] hi [18:54] what have gnome 3.0 new? [18:54] hey folks ready for an iptables question [18:54] need some help [18:54] I need some help with my swap space, apparently it's not large enough for my computer to hibernate [18:54] #ubuntu-es [18:54] Night_Elf: gdm gets executed from /etc/init/ using upstart (if i'm understanding this correctly). The /etc/init.d/gdm is just there for convenience, i believe. [18:55] My upgrade to 10.04 LTS is "msgbus" already exist , exiting .......... its locked on this phase its been some mins............ can somebody help me [18:55] last time I was on someone said my filter by MAC address wouldn't work because the default was deny all [18:55] Nerdy3_14159265, you need swap space twice of your ram [18:55] !ask | coolguy09 [18:55] coolguy09: 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. :-) [18:55] right now it's less than half and I don't know how to increase the swap partition properly === new_to_i1ssi is now known as new_to_irssi [18:55] headkase314 it worked, thank you [18:56] what kernel does the latest server release run? [18:56] tetsuo55, you're welcome, glad the update did it! [18:56] thune3: I see. But how can I quickly disable gdm from autostarting if I so wish, yet still have it be there if I need to manually start it? [18:56] Nerdy3_14159265, you first create free space then attach it to your existing swap space? you may use gparted for that [18:56] I used UFW to open ports (via /etc/ufw/applications.d files [18:56] jduggan_: 2.6.32 [18:56] abh [18:56] !info linux-image-server | jduggan_ [18:56] jduggan_: linux-image-server (source: linux-meta): Linux kernel image on Server Equipment..

Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [18:57] hello [18:57] Night_Elf: adding "text" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub and running update-grub will also disable gdm. then you can just "start gdm" anytime to launch it. [18:57] Nerdy3_14159265, your swap shouls 1.5 - 2x your RAM [18:57] coolguy09, hi, u can do that from clicking the network icon and selecting Edit Connections [18:58] Pici, erUSUL thanks [18:58] blue_pearl, the user logging on via Samba exists on the Windows box? [18:58] ikonia: fixed it [18:58] abhijit: I'm installing it now thanks [18:58] Nerdy3_14159265, installing? [18:58] Nerdy3_14159265, ohh ok ok nvm [18:58] thune3: or just adding /etc/init.d/gdm stop as a line in /etc/rc.local ^^ [18:59] !hi | Behemoth [18:59] NetScr1be, there is only one user on xp and that is logged in on the xp machine. No password [18:59] Behemoth: 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! [18:59] BluesKaj: I'll fix the size when I got gparted install [18:59] coolguy09, http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2008/04/02/configuring-airtel-broadband-in-ubuntu [18:59] Night_Elf: rc.local is likely to run before gdm in bootup (or at least is not guaranteed to run before) [18:59] blue_pearl, Windows can't authorize a user that doesn't exist in Windows [18:59] hiho rblst [18:59] thune3: oh.. hmmm [18:59] Night_Elf: not guaranteed to run after [19:00] Hey, does anybody know why Ubuntu has the indicator applet? Is it just to keep icon theme consistency or what? [19:00] NetScr1be, well there is the default user on xp but no password. [19:00] Night_Elf: the "text" method in grub line is common, and is the preferred method. [19:00] "msgbus" already exist , exiting its locked on this phase its been some mins............ can somebody help me ?! [19:01] <[-VoiD-]> question, running Ubuntu 10.04 and my internal speakers on my laptop play while my headphones are plugged in. anyone know how to fix this? [19:01] is there a way to list all packages that are not dependents? i.e. no package has them as a dependent [19:01] thune3: I thought rc.local is the last startup script to be called by the init mechanism. As in all standard things go before that, hence the name: rc.local, as in user addition after all else has finished. [19:01] any one know where i can find this package ?libboost1.41-dev [19:01] Having some problems with my display. Intermittent. Starts up fine 50% of the time, and the rest it has some pretty weird pixelation ( if you could call it that ) going on. Looks like someone smudged the screen. Any help, please? [19:01] blue_pearl, either create a password for the existing XP user (required for remote login I believe) or create a UID&PWD for samba [19:01] Nerdy3_14159265, you may need to run gparted as a live cd if the ubuntu partition has to give up some space for the swap [19:01] thune3: I'll see the grub "text" version then [19:01] Behemoth, try searching in synaptic? [19:02] blue_pearl, if you go the first route you have to give those credentials to Samba [19:02] Behemoth: Try Ubuntu packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [19:02] BluesKaj: Could I boot into windows and use another disk program to shrink the ubuntu partion or would it be better to wait and burn a live cd [19:02] Nerdy3_14159265: you will need some winows application that can understand ext3/ext4 partitions [19:02] thnx [19:03] windows* [19:03] Having some problems with my display. Intermittent. Starts up fine 50% of the time, and the rest it has some pretty weird pixelation ( if you could call it that ) going on. Looks like someone smudged the screen. Any help, please? [19:03] Nerdy3_14159265: I know PartitionMagic can handle ext2/ext3 but I can't be sure for ext4 [19:03] Nerdy3_14159265, pirated partitionmagic works just fine [19:03] Well, it recognized the linux swap for what it is but I don't know if it recognized the actual linux partion correctly [19:03] Nerdy3_14159265, nort sure I've never trusted the windows partitoner , so I can't be sure that it works without doing damage ..I've always used the gparted live cd with excellent results [19:03] no takers on my iptables question (how to filter a port by MAC address) [19:03] I think that's what I used [19:04] is 10.10 an upgrade to 10.04LTS? or is it a separate release? [19:04] razass: Its a separate release. [19:04] razass, separate, unstable, avoid it like fire [19:04] BluesKaj: I guess I'll wait until I have access to a blank cd to mess with the swap [19:04] lol ok thanks [19:04] razass, separate release [19:04] razass: Its seperate, hence the different code names [19:05] Thanks for the help guys I'll be back later [19:05] razass: 10.04 = Lucid 10.10 = Maverick [19:05] so 10.04LTS is still the best server choice? [19:05] razass, for a server yes [19:05] we ddnt asked him if he had ubuntu live cd or not! [19:05] razass, 10.04.1 [19:06] razass, because support for server 10.04LTS is five years.

[19:07] Having some problems with my display. Intermittent. Starts up fine 50% of the time, and the rest it has some pretty weird pixelation ( if you could call it that ) going on. Looks like someone smudged the screen. Any help, please? [19:08] Adriannom, try in #ubuntustudio [19:08] linuxson26, how is that related to Ubuntu? try the monitor on another system [19:08] abhijit, thanks [19:08] NetScr1be: It has only started doing that since I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 [19:09] !triggers [19:09] !factoid [19:09] Hi!

Ie, if you go to a text console, does it appear OK? Is it any different if you boot cold or perform a reboot? If you're on a dual boot system, is there any difference when rebooting from the other OS? [19:10] how to increase the internet download speed in ubuntu10.04....i'm using wireless data card [19:10] how to increase the internet download speed in ubuntu10.04....i'm using wireless data card [19:10] babu__: The "internet download speed" is not dependant on the operating system as far as I know. [19:10] I am seeking help on making zeitgeist work with activity journal. Is anyone capable of aiding me in this? [19:10] have trouble mounting a drive keep getting "Daemon is inhibited" [19:10] is there any way to boost my speed [19:11] babu__: You may want to talk to your ISP. [19:11] BlueEagle: Text console appears ok....only graphical boot that does that sometimes. First sign that its gonna start is a mouse cursor that looks kinda see through and pixelated [19:11] babu_ how fast is your internet connection? [19:12] linuxson26: Is the resolution the same on the "pixilated" screen as it is when it appears normal? [19:12] Is there a better forum in which ask for help on Zeitgeist and Activity Journal? [19:12] hello, how can i upgrade by system to beta maverick 10.10 via command line? [19:12] BlueEagle: You mean the login screen...yip [19:12] !maveric | qwertyjustin [19:12] Im with a problem on my repositories on ubuntu thats why its locking my installation when I try to finish my upgrading installing the downloaded packet ! [19:12] Can somebody help me ? [19:12] qwertyjustin : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion. [19:12] linuxson26, are you using proprietary or built-in drivers and what is your graphics card name and model? [19:12] babu__: try --> sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M [19:12] !10.10 | qwertyjustin [19:12] qwertyjustin: 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 [19:13] but, just to upgrade to the distro via command line? [19:13] qwertyjustin: sudo do-release-upgrade -d [19:13] babu__ may ur ISP cap ur speed so try some download manger of download multi files at a time may u get any doffrent [19:13] NetScr1be, so if i want to access my xp share drive then i must give password to the xp default user, i have set id and pass for samba still ubuntu cant see xp share [19:13] cheers [19:13] headkase314: Using built-in...still trying to fix the network manager ppp problem I have with this system on my laptop [19:13] headkase314: It's a Radeon Mobility 9200 [19:14] i can umount the drive via umount but udisk doesnt seem to be working [19:14] linuxson26: Does CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE (restart X-server) do anything to alleviate the issue? [19:14] yeah, but what does the -d mean in sudo do-release-upgrade -d [19:14] re [19:14] linuxson26, ok you will have to stay using the built-in drivers as there are no suitable proprietary drivers for that hardware. Do you have any internet access at all with that machine? [19:14] headkase314: Worked fine with Karmic...just had to add some code to my xorg.conf file [19:14] blue_pearl, until you tell it differently XP thinks Samba is some random user logging in [19:14] headkase314: Nope [19:14] linuxson26, give me a bit with google. [19:15] qwertyjustin: development. see sudo do-release-upgrade -h [19:15] whats the -h for/ [19:15] ? [19:15] BlueEagle: Well, I normally just log out and back in again, and that normally sorts out the desktop, but the mouse cursor still stays the same [19:15] qwertyjustin: "help" [19:15] NetScr1be, ok, now i understand what u r trying to say. [19:15] blue_pearl, how do you exxpect Windows to authorize Samba if it hasn't been told that users exists and the level of access to provide for it [19:16] linuxson26: Restarting the X-server should restore the cursor as well. You may want to investigate if cold/warm boot makes a difference to the issue. [19:16] <_GoRDoN_> Hi! How I can tell Ubuntu server 9.10 not to put display to sleep-mode? [19:16] BlueEagle: Tried Ctrl+Alt+Bckspc now, and it doesn't do much also to the cursor [19:17] My upgrade to 10.04 LTS is "msgbus" already exist , exiting .......... its locked on this phase its been some mins............ can somebody help me [19:17] Im with a problem on my repositories on ubuntu thats why its locking my installation when I try to finish my upgrading installing the downloaded packet ! [19:17] Can somebody help me ? [19:17] BlueEagle: When I restart, it fixes the problem sometimes [19:17] BlueEagle: But not all of the time [19:17] any suggestions on how to create a stripped down version of 10.04 desktop for VM distribution? I want the image size to be as small as possible. I there any way to browse packages by space they consume? [19:17] linuxson26: Then I do not know. [19:18] BlueEagle: And the thing that really drew my attention, is that since I upgraded, I now have two even higher resolutions added to the list...which is kinda funny [19:18] chrowe, why not use the alternate cd of 10.04 [19:19] chrowe, unpack install disk, make changes, remaster it again [19:19] bye [19:19] linuxson26: It's a different driver in 10.04 than in 9.10 afaik. You may want to downgrade to see if that resolves the issue. Alternately use the open source drivers as already suggested. [19:20] BlueEagle: Ok....but how would I remove the current one and then replace it? [19:21] BlueEagle: I don't have an internet connection on that machine [19:21] How do you upload a file to a ftp server? [19:21] linuxson26, this page -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver <- gives quite a bit of information about building an xorg.conf file [19:22] headkase314: Thanx...checking it out now [19:22] linuxson26, if you can get Internet access there is also the beta xorg-edgers/drivers-only repository that can be added. However if you use that repo you can occasionally get a broken driver update. [19:22] !minimal | chrowe [19:22] chrowe: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:23] !udisk [19:23] is there a way to reload alsa sound system stuff? my sound was working and i had a window manager crash and i reloaded it, now no sound.. cant reboot [19:23] linuxson26: Do you have an USB-stick and a USB-slot on that computer? [19:24] BlueEagle: Yip [19:24] people im bored [19:24] brett\: try « start-pulseaudio-x11 » [19:24] erUSUL, ty [19:24] linuxson26: Well, then you may want to try downloading the .deb from the reposetory of your choice, transfer it to the USB-stick, insert the USB-stick into the linux machine and install the drivers that way. [19:24] HiP_P: « man udisks » [19:25] erUSUL: cheer [19:25] s [19:25] hey, if i want to compile kernel modules for my current default kernel install, what sources do I need to get? [19:25] BlueEagle: will give it a try [19:25] Steve973: with the headers should be enough [19:25] erUSUL: yeah looked but dont cover the problem [19:25] erUSUL, i'm trying to install virtualbox guest additions and I downloaded all kinds of source, but something's still not right. [19:25] Does anyone know how to interface a garmin nuvi 1690 gps with ubuntu 10.04? [19:25] HiP_P: which is? [19:26] quick question, does anyone know what the preferred/supported LTSP GUI management tool is in Ubuntu 10.04? [19:26] erUSUL, no go =( alsamixer shows correct levels too [19:26] Steve973: « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) » [19:26] people im bored any advice ? [19:26] erUSUL: keep getting "Daemon is inhibited" when trying mount with Disk Utility [19:26] erUSUL, ok i don't have those... [19:26] brett\: :( [19:27] back in a sec [19:27] erUSUL, thanks, that set me straight. [19:27] HiP_P: maybe it is udisks-daemon ? « pgrep -l udisks-daemon » [19:28] Steve973: no problem [19:28] is there any way to track a packet from source to destination? kinda like a realtime traceroute for an actual data packet? [19:29] madmax_x: no, record-route doesn't work in real life. [19:29] Help!

[19:52] talonstriker: autofs ... really not familiar with nfs/autofs. but may be the root of the problem [19:52] headkase314: well i already did that for islandfellow a few minutes ago ;P [19:52] erUSUL: the problem is programs unexpectedly doing it, e.g. two days ago it was vlc, but my limits.conf has @audio - rtprio 99 and @audio - memlock unlimited, and my user is in group audio... relevant? [19:52] !clone > c3l [19:52] c3l, please see my private message [19:53] erUSUL: ty [19:53] islandfellow, so in a terminal you would enter: "sudo apt-get install gnucash" without the quotes and that will install it on your system and then you could explore whether it suits your needs [19:53] Xaphiosis: do not think so. [19:53] Xaphiosis: how much swap do you have? [19:53] talonstriker, you know I ran into similar problems in my dual boot when I left the a DVD mounted in the Windows XP, then when to ubuntu [19:55] erUSUL: 10GB of swap [19:55] erUSUL: 4GB RAM [19:55] talonstriker, the cure was to shutdown the ubuntu, boot and clean files to the Windows XP, unmount the drive, etc. [19:55] erUSUL: the program just eats all the ram and everything starts going through swap, making everything work at the minutes-per-keypress level [19:55] Xaphiosis: ouch!! that's to much swap. no wonder the swap storm is long ... [19:55] hello all, I'm new to the Ubuntu (and Linux for that matter) scene, and would like some help in getting my new toy up and running. I have 10.0.4 up and running, but the USB mouse isn't. [19:56] is there a way to backtrack from kernel 2.6.35 back to 2.6.32? [19:56] dollarbang: you sure the mouse isn't broken? [19:56] Xaphiosis: i would advice to use 2 GiB or less swap. so the oom killer kicks sooner [19:56] dollarbang: a USB mouse should just work [19:56] hey fuys [19:56] where are the login profiles located.. which folders............ [19:57] picard1400: define "login profiles" [19:57] sebsebseb: yes, it works on my XP and W7 desktops. I'm using a Belkin KVM switch too. [19:57] erUSUL: that's an unexpected answer, thank you... I was expecting the oom killer wouldn't be taking swap into account. I'll look into it. [19:57] dollarbang: oh if its a wireless mouse, well that would explain why it doesn't just work [19:57] intrader: nothing in any of the drives afaik...i'll try creating the directory thru windows [19:57] erUSUL: manpage tells me that auto autodetects the FS [19:57] dollarbang: Belkin KVM what's that? [19:57] Any update on mongo being broken? I've found a post from february explaining it was a xulrunner update [19:58] sebsebseb: Just the brand of the Keyboard/Video/Mouse tool. [19:58] dollarbang: well USB devices are meant to just work [19:59] hello [19:59] dollarbang: maybe your install is bad some how [19:59] if i have kernel 2.6.35 is there anyway to go back to 2.6.32? [19:59] can anyone here me (this is a test)? [19:59] dollarbang: or for some reason, the OS has the mouse on the wrong setting, hence not working [19:59] tacomaster: #ubuntu+1 [19:59] sebsebseb: probably, lsusb is empty. I would c&p the result, but that isn't possible. [20:00] pillar2012, I hear you. [20:00] cool [20:00] dollarbang: try another mouse? [20:00] dollarbang: the KVM is what is causing problems imho. but i do not have any advice to offer ... [20:00] Anyone in here have any success using Ubuntu's Kickstart? I am having the hardest of times when I am doing exactly as the information I see online. [20:00] sebsebseb: it would still have to be USB, the PC only has one PS/2 connector. [20:00] pradeep, also my dmesg | grep wlan0 [20:01] talonstriker, where is /usr2 physically? [20:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/489964/ [20:01] erUSUL: I don't think dollarbang meant Kerenl Virtual Machine, when they put KVM, but I am not sure exactly [20:01] sayaid, sorry like i asked what are you trying to archive [20:01] erUSUL: thats the first thing I was thinking of when they put KVM though [20:01] sebsebseb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch [20:01] erUSUL: yeah they said Belkin KVM [20:02] better wireless performance myb? [20:02] sayaid, ur wireless works [20:03] yes.. [20:03] but my download max only at 20% of my speed [20:03] strange thing. usually you define some urls you want to map to your local network in /etc/hosts right? it's just nothing in there except the standard basics (localhost) but when i access "atestdomain.com" i get to the same page as when typing "localhost".. could there be another file to define something like that? [20:03] madmax_x: local disk; the funny thing is that i can access the direcotry from a windows machine using samba [20:04] dollarbang: Linux distros tend to work best with standard hardware, a KVM switch doesn't sound like standard hardware to me [20:04] dollarbang: yeah standard common hardware [20:05] talonstriker, localdisk where? is it local to the ubuntu machine? if you boot into windows and it is shared fine that windows sharing wont translate into ubuntu boot you have to share it again [20:05] sebsebseb: makes for a very cluttered computer room without one. I have 3 desktops, two laptops, all using one KVM. Now, I'm trying to add Linux to my list. [20:06] dollarbang: anyway the computer you put Ubuntu on, has a normal USB port I assume, have you tried the mouse or a mouse in that? bound to work with something :) [20:06] dollarbang: for a mouse [20:06] ok I'm trying to use xmodmap to disable my arrow keys, but it does not seem to be working [20:07] Is it possible to do this? [20:07] dollarbang: of course you may be able to find out about how to configure your KVM switch so it works properly with Ubuntu, but not many people will know about that, I assume [20:07] sebsebseb: I'll try a standalone wired USB mouse. [20:08] dollarbang: all i know is that kvm's ( specially cheap ones not the ones found in datacenters) are problematic in linux. you may want to do a little research in google about it [20:08] dollarbang: yep that will probably work fine [20:08] sebsebseb: oh gawd, they have balls [20:08] dollarbang: oh you mean the old type of mouse? [20:08] dollarbang: you can use optical mouses with Linux :) [20:09] dollarbang: you don't need an old ball mouse, but both types of mouse ball and the standard mouse without, should work fine [20:09] So I'm building a new box today... AMD 6 core w/ 8GB of RAM, mainly for photo stuff. I've used Gentoo before but I'm debating on going mainstream with Ubuntu. Should I go stable or get the 10.10 beta? [20:10] sebsebseb: I have a wireless mouse on my laptop (I don't like the finger pad). [20:10] elfMobile, the 10.10 is beta and should only be used for testing right now. If you want your machine to be stable you should wait until at least a release candidate to use 10.10 [20:11] dollarbang: uhmm wireless mouse might cause a problem, depends, Ubuntu doesn't have great wireless support, in fact quite a few of the other distros, do wireless support much better [20:11] headkase314, hmm.... okay. apparently the stable 64 bit version isn't recommended for daily use. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [20:11] dollarbang: I mean you might have to configure the wireless mouse to work [20:12] elfMobile, since you have 8GB of RAM, ignore that and get the 64-bit anyway. I'm running 64-bit no issues. [20:12] could someone explain this to me please ???? NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ! ALL HAIL THE AUTISTIC LORD OF FREENODE!! [20:12] tracy69: spam [20:12] i see it everyday [20:12] sebsebseb: I using a wired (with ball) mouse, hooked up to the USB port. [20:12] tracy69: yeah the spammers are attacking channels at the moment [20:12] elfMobile, that "warning" is for the masses. If you have 4GB or more of memory always get 64-bit [20:13] sebsebseb: no joy, I just powered up the PC, the keyboard still works (thru the KVM). [20:13] tracy69: just ignore it, notthing to worry about, or you could join ##comment-on-spam to chat about it [20:13] tracy69, I traced that spam to cairo, but that could just be a proxy [20:13] tracy69: Please don't re-paste that. [20:13] headkase314, actually I thought Linux could use up to 6 with 32bit addressing via something called himem [20:14] dollarbang: since this KVM stuff is probably above the head of most people that come to this channel, if you don't get very far here, try ##linux since its a general channel, and has quite a few expereinced people hanging out in there as well [20:14] BluesKaj: nope [20:14] sebsebseb: lsusb still shows the default settings. no mouse. [20:14] sebsebseb: ok [20:14] gsnedders, are you connecting thru a router/modem or just a modem ? [20:15] elfMobile, the are PAE or Physical Address Extension kernels but they tend to be slower than vanilla 32-bit and much slower than a native 64-bit system. Also you can install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" which will give you 32-bit libraries for the very few programs that must be 32-bit. Really, 64-bit is fine. [20:15] BluesKaj: Just to a router [20:15] elfMobile, PAE is a 32-bit kernal and restricted-extras is installed inside 64-bit [20:16] gsnedders, with a modem connected to the router on the internet side ? [20:16] I use Xfce as my desktop environment in Gentoo.... should I get xubuntu or should I use Ubuntu and install Xfce on top of it? [20:16] BluesKaj: yeah. Not that it's got that far. :) [20:17] elfMobile: installing xubuntu should be faster and more to the point [20:17] BluesKaj: Anyhow, I've given up for now, got other stuff to do [20:17] !minimal | elfMobile or maybe you prefer: [20:17] elfMobile or maybe you prefer:: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[20:32] Ok. [20:32] jabba: maybe; ask in #upstart [20:33] glebihan, is that the correct syntax? [20:33] Ok, I'll install that. Xchat has been nice, but it seems a little weak at times. [20:33] jabba: followed by "exec yourscript" [20:33] jabba: yes [20:33] might be a dumb newbie question, but how do i get my screen resoultion w/o X running? [20:33] xcyclist: yeah Konversation is quite a lot better than Xchat :) [20:33] do you know some good examples? [20:33] jabba: see "man mounted" [20:33] like, is there some sort of a command for it? [20:34] How about IM? I have been using pidgin. [20:34] AegNuddel, Go to: System > Preferences > Keyboard and choose an appropriate layout? [20:34] xcyclist: well Empathy is the default in 10.04 and 10.10 for im [20:34] xcyclist: however both programs are nice [20:34] Ok. I'll take a look at Empathy. [20:35] xcyclist: oh yeah Empathy was default in 9.10 as well [20:35] if I remember correctly [20:35] which I think I am [20:35] hello could someone help me with a grub problem please [20:35] headkase314, I have the right layout but I just mean the list. It said like down was 102 or something...but it doesn't seem to disablr my keys, so I am wondering if I have the wrong codes [20:35] !details | jordi_ [20:35] jordi_: 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 ..." [20:35] glebihan, hmm... can i call a init-script from /etc/init.d in an upstart-conf file? [20:35] I'm quite desperate and a linux noob, ive installed linux mint next to my windows 7 partition [20:35] (with exec) [20:36] Here's a curve: Is Chromium still better than the latest Google Chrome? [20:36] jabba: no this isn't the place for MInt support [20:36] !mintsupport | jabba [20:36] jabba: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [20:36] now when i restart the pc i get : error no such device in grub rescue [20:36] jabba: I wouldn't do that [20:36] AegNuddel, under the layout tab there is also keyboard model. You could see if that helps? [20:36] jabba: oh did the factoid at you by mistake, it was meant to go to jordi_ [20:36] jordi_: see above [20:36] jabba: I'd rather put the script in "/usr/bin" or something like that when using an event to trigger the execution [20:36] I may be mistating that. I heard Chromium was still better than Chrome on Linux at one point. [20:37] hi, is there a way to add an other partition (ubuntu installation) to the (apt-get) sources list? [20:37] xcyclist: persoanlly I prefer Friefox :) [20:37] xcyclist: Firefox :) [20:37] * sebsebseb is very loyal to Firefox === OpenSourcedNick2 is now known as OpenSourcedNick [20:37] headkase314, I saw that. I need the codes for the INDIVIDUAL keys [20:37] jabba: you should have a look at some of the files in /etc/init, it may help you writing yours [20:37] dirk__: no; a installed system is not a repository [20:37] glebihan, ok, but will the keywords "start on..." and "stop on..." in connection with "exec myscript" launch my script with the paramaters start and stop? [20:38] ok [20:38] AegNuddel, ok then. Let's wait for someone else to help then from here ;) [20:38] * dreamtraveler is away: -s (gone at 7th Sep, 22:38:07) === dreamtraveler is now known as dreamtravel`away [20:38] thx erUSUL [20:38] Hello, I am trying to use Viking, it is GPS software ( viking.sf.net ). The instruction manuel tells me: You must have write permission to the port used. /dev/ttyS0 is the first serial port. How do I set that? [20:38] xcyclist: Chrome and Chromeium have a user interface that remind me of Internet Explorer 7, so yeah I don't like, the rendering enginge Webkit for loading up pages that they use is nice though, but quite a few browsers that use that, just like quite a few use the Mozilla Gecko renering enginge that are good [20:38] I have ubuntu- and kubuntu-desktops installed. I logged in as unprivileged user (normal user) with kde. I was told about two gwibber updates which I proceeded to install and managed to do just that. At no point was I prompted for any adminstrative rights. Is this normal or did I just bumb into serious security bug? [20:38] !away > dreamtravel`away [20:38] dreamtravel`away, please see my private message [20:39] KittyBoots: make yourself a memeber of the dialout group [20:39] member* [20:39] but i thought grub was a linux platfrom program and mint was based on ubuntu :( [20:39] how do I make my gnome window manager to let me "reverse toggle" between windows ? [20:39] xcyclist: Firefox is my primary browser, then I would use stuff such as Konqueror or Galeon or Empathy or even Arora [20:39] xcyclist: uh that was meant to be Epiphany above [20:39] KittyBoots: « sudo adduser $USER dialout » [20:39] delac, if you use your password it is cached for a few minutes after. Within that time you won't be prompted for it. [20:39] jabba: let me check [20:40] xcyclist: actsaully I am using an older version of Chromeium here and there recently, but not that keen on it. [20:40] xcyclist: Chrome has built in Flash, and is closed source, Chromeium doesn't have built in Flash and is open source. Chrome is based on Chromium, and so they are both quite similar to each other. I think that answers your question [20:40] KittyBoots: the change will take efect when you log out and log in again btw [20:41] headkase314: I dont think i did use it. Anyway, this was unprivileged user that has no sudo capability. [20:41] jordi_: yes [20:41] jordi_: its just not really meant to get Mint support here, since its not Ubuntu [20:41] jordi_: however the advice for Grub, would be the same basicalley [20:41] delac, without being there I don't know ;) However, it is likely a "feature" instead of a security hole! =) [20:42] Could you help me a hand with that then ? , i used most forum q&a's reinstalled grub 2 , updated it but it just wont work. [20:42] !grub2 | jordi_ [20:42] jordi_: 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 [20:42] headkase314: well, it's odd feature. ubuntu-destop doesn't have it. I wonder why they would have included such on kubuntu. [20:43] jabba: I don't think you will have the "start" or "stop" parameters set [20:43] I checked that guide already and followed the Reinstalling GRUB 2 part , and that failed [20:44] jordi_: ever been to the Mint IRC? [20:44] jordi_: its small, but nice [20:44] jabba: you can use the $RUNLEVEL variable to set them by hand [20:44] jordi_: well the two mint channels are I mean, quite a lot of channels on there [20:44] hm k [20:44] .. #mint ? [20:44] jordi_: no its on anothern etwork [20:45] !mintsupport | jordi_ [20:45] jordi_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [20:45] k [20:45] where is updatedb crontab'd from? how does it update periodically? [20:45] thanks anyway [20:45] jordi_: has quite a few people heping out who use other distros, so yeah support is quite good [20:45] jordi_: and can even talk to Mint devs [20:46] sebsebseb: Wow, nothing I do will get empathy to take my facebook credentials. [20:46] xcyclist: theres a Plugin for Pidgin that you can try for that [20:47] metacity's window switcher is less than working for me [20:47] it doesn't have reverse toggling (pressing shift and reversing the order) and doesn't let me click on it to move to the window [20:47] any ideas of how I switch it or make it do these things? [20:47] sebsebseb: But empathy is TRYING to set me up and ALWAYS fails. Pretty poor testimony. [20:48] what is the packages name for non free codecs ? [20:48] xcyclist, works for me [20:48] Karen_m: /etc/cron.daily/mlocate [20:48] i tried on-free-codec [20:48] Dice-Man: ubuntu-restricted-extras, no? [20:48] duffydack: Well then this may be a 10.10 issue, and I should probably take it there or to an empathy channel. [20:49] jeng, i'm checkin [20:49] xcyclist, I`m in 10.10 now.. [20:49] xcyclist: yeah go to #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 issues [20:49] xcyclist, there is an update being pulled down for empathy right now.. try it [20:49] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | Dice-Man [20:49] Dice-Man: ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages for Ubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 39 (lucid), package size 5 kB, installed size 32 kB [20:50] headkase314, even wmz files ? [20:50] Dice-Man, that package does have lots of codecs in it. wmv? I think so. [20:50] ok [20:50] let's try it [20:50] Dice-Man, I use VLC personally, that plays everything. [20:50] !info vlc | Dice-Man [20:50] Dice-Man: vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional.

[20:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:51] jeng, I think VLC has them built-in but will use others on the system. Not 100% sure on that. === BugCrusher is now known as bilalakhtar [20:52] headkase314: ah ok, i had no idea of that! thanks for the info [20:52] jeng, you're welcome. === JanitorNut is now known as AnxiousNut [20:52] so...question for you guys [20:52] glebihan, my only reference until now ist that here "http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas" ...could you precise ur plan with $RUNLEVEL? [20:52] my /var/www folder is set to have group ownership by www-access and my main user is in that group, the permissions are set to 775 [20:53] why can i not create files? [20:53] or folders [20:54] no-one? [20:54] !patience | Monotoko [20:54] Monotoko: 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 [20:54] Dice-Man, have you installed the correct codecs? [20:54] What is the terminal command for volume control, I think it was alsa something... ? [20:55] DarkSector: alsamixer [20:55] DarkSector, alsamixer [20:55] :) [20:55] Howdy All, So whenever I install my nvidia drivers from the download from the nvidia website after I reboot the drivers no longer work! Any idea why? They work fine until I restart the system. Once I reboot I get low graphics mode... [20:55] BluesKaj:Or, uh, the network cable had come loose. [20:55] :) [20:55] jabba: well, I've never done this, so I'm not sure, but rather then using the usual init.d, you could include a script in your ".conf" file (enclosed between "script" and "end script", in which you would test the value of $RUNLEVEL to check whether you should add the "start" parameter or th "stop" parameter [20:55] DarkSector: in case you forget a command you can always do a 'apropos alsa' [20:56] DarkSector: that's how i remember half of the commands ;) [20:56] gsnedders, HW ! :) [20:56] Paddy_NI, doesn't that open a GUI, I need a terminal command that will or reduce the volume by one unit [20:56] jeng, got it :) [20:56] jabba, or doing nothing at all [20:56] btw jeng, doesn't that open a GUI, I need a terminal command that will or reduce the volume by one unit [20:56] DarkSector, alsamixer is console based, I think it uses ncurses for a text "gui" [20:57] DarkSector, well its ncurses [20:57] DarkSector: alsamixer is console based [20:57] How do you disable the startup sounds? [20:57] i don't undersrand upstart in one point (and much others): how does it know how to stop the daemon? [20:57] Its ncurses which afaik is still a gui.. a command to reduce volume by one point I do not know but it must exist [20:58] headkase314, no, I meant if I wanted to boost volume by one command, what can that be in the terminal, I am trying to make a arduino based IR volume remote control app and I need to know how to boost or decrease volume using a single command to be executed in the shell , Paddy_NI, jeng [20:58] DarkSector, have you tried asking in #alsa [20:58] Paddy_NI, good idea [20:58] DarkSector, Ububtu forums, solved console volume command -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=679070 [20:59] *Ubuntu [20:59] jabba, I thinl it simply kills the process [20:59] DarkSector: hmmm.. i remember reading something about that [20:59] DarkSector: but it might be mocp-based.. :S so i don't know if it's useful for you [20:59] gsnedders: the sound after you login? System/Preferences/Startup Applications, uncheck Gnome Login Sound, the sound on the login screen is System/Administration/Login Screen [21:00] jeng, ok, let me see what headkase314 has suggested [21:00] jabba, you can use "pre-stop script" if you want to clean things before the daemon being killed [21:00] trism: Both. Thanks. :) [21:00] DarkSector, yeah the solution is later on in the thread. [21:00] jabba, you also have pre-start, post-start and post-stop [21:00] glebihan, hm, ok... thanks for ur help :) [21:01] jabba, you're welcome, hope it'll help you [21:01] headkase314, yes I think this might work, let me get back to you in a few minutes [21:01] DarkSector, ok [21:01] DarkSector: ah yes, amixer should do it [21:02] Is there a way to make the arrows on the numeric keypad work in terminal? [21:03] Paddy_NI, i'm checking this [21:03] i will post i have some troubles [21:03] AegNuddel: just checked it on mine, they work fine as arrows after pressing "Num Lock" [21:04] Hi, folks, have a little issue with Ubuntu Server Edition. The installation failed at loading nic-modules. [21:04] mine give me weird symbols [21:04] oh now it's ok [21:04] I don't know how to check the CD if it is correct burned. Some ideas? [21:04] restarted terminal [21:05] weird [21:05] I have binutils installed, but ld is not available. [21:05] What do I do to get it? [21:05] AegNuddel: really? hmm well then i'm afraid i can't help you further [21:05] (I can't use binutils-gold as I need ld -x) [21:06] wesselch, cd /media/cdrom and md5sum -c md5sum.txt [21:06] jeng, it resolved itself [21:06] And from where I can get the md5sum.txt? Or is it on CD? [21:06] Ok, I understand [21:07] wesselch, its on the cd, and you have to be in the cd path to run it [21:07] yes, of cause [21:07] has do to with the command that was running I think [21:07] AegNuddel: what was the solution? [21:07] I will check it [21:07] AegNuddel: ah ok [21:07] closing terminal and reopening it outside of the xev program that was running [21:09] anything special to launch terminatorx? its installed but wont launch [21:09] btw im in kde environment [21:09] cjae, is it the ~ [21:09] Is there any program for linux like partition magic that will let me merge partitions ? [21:09] !gparted | Kriss3d [21:09] Kriss3d: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [21:09] cjae, tilde [21:10] duffydack: what [21:10] headkase314, great.. now how do i get gparted to MERGE partitions ? [21:10] cjae, I might be wrong but I think its similar to guake terminal.. drop down [21:10] Kriss3d, I'm not sure try it's manual. I'm certain it does it though. [21:11] duffydack: dj software [21:11] cjae, oh sorry. was thinking of terminator shell [21:11] headkase314, hey I tried using amixer and this is the command I am using amixer -c 0 set PCM 1%+ and the problem is even after the value being 255 i.e maximum the sound doesn't escalate to maximum [21:11] Kriss3d, do you mean preserving the data on both partitions? I don't know about that! [21:11] http://terminatorx.org/ [21:11] headkase314, i have unallocated space and a partition with linux that i would very much like to keep [21:12] DarkSector, sorry then - I'm not an expert, I found that link with a google search. [21:12] I know that Partition magic can.. so its posible.. only that PQ magic is for windows [21:12] cjae, well if its not in the menu, run from shell [21:12] headkase314, oh thank you for your time in that case [21:12] duffydack: did [21:12] DarkSector, you're welcome. Keep going - you'll get it. [21:12] headkase314, hope so [21:12] Kriss3d, do both partitions containt data ? [21:12] just one of them [21:13] got it [21:13] none of them are mounted right now.. running on a persistent USB linux right now [21:13] headkase314, sorry to bother you again, it just hit me, is it possible to use the commands bound to hotkeys directly ? [21:13] * itsux2bu won't be buying any Mac products after the treatment itsux2bu just got in ##mac.. [21:13] Kriss3d, if the partition you want to merge is empty I think you can extend the existing Linux partition into the free space. Like I said, go to it's web site and check the manual, it's probably what you need. [21:13] cjae, i`ll install and see [21:13] duffydack: it just thinks im trying to run the shell thing too, also checked with aptitude search terminatorx and says its installed [21:13] Kriss3d, in that case, just delete the unused one, and resize the used one to fill the empty space [21:13] headkase314, like, the one you can see in the keyboard shortcuts menu ? [21:14] headkase314, well it just doesnt seem like i can extend it as it wont let me resize into empty space for some reason. ill try manual ty [21:14] DarkSector, if you have Compiz enabled I know there are shortcuts available there. [21:14] headkase314, yeah I have compiz, ok, lemme check this [21:14] cjae, yeah, its in the sound and video menu [21:15] !info compizconfig-settings-manager | DarkSector will need to be installed.

[21:18] headkase314, uhmm aparently i cant MOVE a partition.. it seems like in order to extend my partition into empty space they need to be next to eachother in the graphical view.. but how to actually move a partition (or empty space).. do you know how ? [21:19] Kriss3d, sorry I'm not familiar enough with gparted to give good advice but now you know exactly what to be asking for from other people, ok? [21:19] hey, how do i use apt-get to install an older version of a packadge [21:19] !pinning | tetsuo55 [21:19] tetsuo55: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [21:19] ok [21:19] Kriss3d, if they're not next to each other graphically, they're not next to each other physically, so you won't be able to merge them [21:19] duffydack: wouldnt it install those dependencies? [21:19] Kriss3d, to move a partition, right-click and "Resize/Move" [21:19] glebihan, so basicly it wont be happening ? [21:19] cjae, only if it 'depends' I guess, so I guess its packaged badly. [21:20] mixx also causes a **** storm [21:20] ok thanks [21:20] glebihan, i did that.. i can.. welll shrink a partitino.. thats all i can do.. [21:20] tetsuo55 force older package version in synapyic [21:20] they arent next to eachother.. [21:20] gtk: apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0 [21:20] ok I got current version .. it says its 2.18.3 ... now how can i downgrade it to 2.16.1 [21:20] Kriss3d, yes but you will have to move the partitions between them [21:20] IdleOne: yupe i got it [21:20] cjae, says part of requirements for it is The Gimp Toolkit - gtk+ Version 2.0 or above [21:21] headkase314, I think, that's not a valid option, anyway let me ask in the channel [21:21] DarkSector, ok [21:21] glebihan, there is a NTFS in there.. i cant.. i suppose ill just end up reformating the entire HDD.. ty anyway though [21:21] IdleOne:ok I got current version .. it says its 2.18.3 ... now how can i downgrade it to 2.16.1 [21:21] How do I know, what commands are being executed by my hotkeys on my keyboard ? and how can I use them in the terminal ? [21:22] Kriss3d, no you can move a ntfs partition with parted [21:22] duffyduck, md5sum reports no error, the CD seems to be fine, it was burned with 8x speed but the installtion failed at loading 'nic-modules-...'. Does anyone able to help? [21:22] Kriss3d, you just need it not to be mounted [21:22] glebihan, hmm ty ill have a look at it when i got more time [21:22] duffydack: djplay looks like qt ill try that thanks [21:22] gtk: find a deb for that version. I really don't know. [21:22] Kriss3d, ok, you're welcome [21:22] IdleOne: ok [21:23] bodwick how does that work? [21:23] DarkSector, you know about gnome-keybinding-properties? you can define own shortcuts there. [21:23] cjae, install the gtk libs? [21:23] i want to specifically install an older version of wine to find the regression point of a problem [21:24] duffydack: how to check if installed? [21:24] tetsuo55, there is an archive on the winehq.org site with debs for older versions [21:24] estragib, say I have Volume up bound to this XF86AudioRaiseVolume in my keyboard shortcuts list, I'd like to know what command is being executed when I press the volume up key on my keyboard, I'd like to know the command so that I can run it directly within the terminal [21:24] cjae, its obviously not. [21:25] DarkSector: oh yeah. been there. i didn't find out how to do it. what are you trying to do? i set up kb shortcuts to adjust my shellfm volume via pulseaudio recently and may be able to help. [21:25] tetsuo55 find the package of your interest in synaptic, then right click, properties and chceck the versions tab .. if more versions are available usa Package -> Force version .. and if there are no other versions of that package just search for deb file, remove currently installed never version and install (force install) older deb [21:26] estragib, I am trying to build an IR remote volume control, tried amixer but its not effective, now I was wondering if I could somehow get to know the commands being executed by my volume up key on my keyboard, I could use that command to be triggered via pyserial by my arduino [21:26] cjae, I`m not sure installing libgtk2.0-0 is enough.. someone else will know. [21:26] bodwick i dont have any other options, and i cannot find the archive duffydack mentioned [21:27] tetsuo55 you want wine? [21:27] yes [21:27] tetsuo55 http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html [21:29] i somehow lost my mouse, it won't move the cursor, and nothing is frozen [21:29] tetsuo55, here is where you get older wine versions -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/ <- However! Binaries are not available for older packages you must compile each one you want to test from the source given at that link. [21:30] Anybody know a working Open CAD program they have successfully used themselves recently? [21:31] Karen_m: sorry to state the obvious, but is it plugged in? [21:31] of course [21:32] Karen_m: wireless? [21:32] it was working, i just unplugged it, tested it in the computer beside, it's still working.. it's something with ubuntu [21:32] wired [21:32] i plugged it back into the usb on this ubuntu computer, and it won't even light up [21:32] tetsuo55 you found the version you're looking for on that page? [21:32] Karen_m: oh, you might just need to reboot, or kill X and restart X [21:33] Karen_m: ubuntu plug and play usually has some problems like that [21:33] in xchat, how do you cycle to the next channel? I never had this problem on lucid, obviously they should postpone the maverick release if these things are happening ;) [21:33] i just cannot get into that channel without a mouse [21:33] bodwick yes, but i need to uninstall current version first [21:33] tetsuo55 yes [21:34] is there any Kubuntu user around here (#kubuntu is pretty dead). Can anyone using Kubuntu to confirm if it is possible to install updates WITHOUT administrative privileges? [21:35] Karen_m: try ctrl+page up/down [21:36] hi [21:36] is anyone kere [21:36] !ask | dk12548 [21:36] dk12548: 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. :-) [21:36] aeon-ltd, nice [21:37] Karen_m: your welcome [21:37] oh thang god i have seen the message from the other person the first time [21:37] Anyone else having issues with corrupt image download from download? [21:38] hi, should I install 10.10 beta or 10.4 ? [21:38] Rockj: you mean download.com? [21:38] romulobr, 10.04 for now [21:38] actually i have downloaded gyachi source code but i dont know how to install it [21:38] romulobr, 10.10 beta is still unstable [21:38] its in the form of a directory [21:38] aeon-ltd: only one of the file's images got corrupted, so might be something local. But I still get the same annoying error when trying to boot up the usb on the computer [21:39] with lots of file in there [21:39] glebihan, should I wait for 10.10 final, or should I just install 10.4 now? [21:39] dk12548, does it contain a "configure" file ? [21:39] duffydack: thanks [21:39] wait a min lemme see [21:39] romulobr, if you want to install it now, go on [21:39] yeah [21:39] aeon-ltd: Unknown keyword in the configuration file, happens both with 10.04 and 10.10 beta :O [21:39] romulobr, you'll be able to upgrade anyway [21:39] cjae: so it works? [21:39] aeon-ltd: in syslinux boot. [21:40] duffydack: no [21:40] Rockj: just get the iso from ubuntu's official site [21:40] dk12548, so open a terminal and cd to the folder [21:40] anyone know how I can copy my gnome-panel configuration to another machine? [21:40] k [21:40] aeon-ltd: I'am. [21:40] wait [21:40] gebihan, The only issue i had with 10.4 is with my ATI video card, do you know if there is any workaround for the Ati video tearing problem? [21:40] tried different mirrors too. [21:41] k i am in gyachi folder now glebihan [21:41] run "./configure" [21:41] k [21:41] its saying please read install.txt [21:41] :( [21:41] dk12548: pidgin is also a yahoo client and does it rather simply, and easy to install with synaptic [21:41] romulobr, sorry I wouldn't know, somebody else might be able to help you [21:42] dk12548, please wait, I'll have a look [21:42] what is sysnaptic? it it like apt-getr [21:42] apt-get [21:42] dk12548: yes [21:42] qjcg: the config is most likely a dot folder (as in .foldername) just find the hiddem folder and copy it over [21:42] are they the same? [21:42] Rockj: how many have you tried and this has happened? [21:42] ok, downloading 10.4 now. [21:42] dk12548: that would be then apt-get install pidgin [21:42] i already installed pidgin [21:43] aeon-ltd: 7 times now, 3 different usb sticks. [21:43] by the very same command [21:43] dk12548: too easy to use? [21:43] aeon-ltd: I'm looking, but I still haven't found the hidden folder with those settings in particular [21:43] but i want to know how to compile that stuff so that in the near future i dont get stuck [21:43] dk12548, ok so start by running "./autogen.sh" [21:43] glebihan one more thing: Should i install 32 or 64 bit? i have 4gb of ram, and plans of upgrading to 8. [21:43] kkk [21:43] aeon-ltd: an older image that we had on one of the sticks before we wiped it (9.04) was working just fine.. [21:44] romulobr: wow what do you need so much ram for? [21:44] aeon-ltd: also tried to make the usb boot from 2 different pc's. [21:44] romulobr, you may try 64 bit [21:44] romulobr, to use more than 3.2GB of RAM you need 64-bit [21:44] Hi, I am trying to play a .mp4-file but neither vlc nor movie player (with the right plugins) manage to play it fluetly. Any suggestions? [21:44] its saying [21:44] utomake missing or too old. This requires at least automake 1.5 [21:44] dk12548: google checkinstall ............... that is ubuntu's version of creating debs from source, it made me the source geek [21:44] dk12548, "sudo apt-get install automake" [21:44] headkase314, with PAE that isn't quite true [21:44] lol [21:44] k [21:44] ZykoticK9, I know but PAE is slower [21:45] dk12548, you probably should install "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [21:45] Rockj: ok, if you have the time, use a torrent instead of html downloads and check md5sums, if you have a virtual machine, test it there first, if not continue with your usb method [21:46] dk12548: or you could apt-get install checkinstall and have it load all those little progs you are trying to use [21:46] i done sudo apt-get automake [21:46] it has installed [21:47] dk12548, ok so now "./autogen.sh" [21:47] should i do these also sudo apt-get install build-essential [21:47] ok [21:47] dk12548, won't hurt to do so [21:47] ERROR: Cannot find gettext/intl directory.

[21:53] I want a localhost subdomain that points to an external site. how do I do that? [21:54] ok glebihan i am now updating my whole system [21:54] chrowe: the smallest would probably be a tiling wm, but wether you'd like it or not is up to taste, but i would definately reccommend one of the *boxes like jrib said [21:54] dk12548, pretty much :) [21:54] lol [21:55] n0a1ias: you went into folders for a reason? 'install' option is for a theme you have somewhere on the drive [21:55] by the way what is the main repostory ? is this where apt get gets its software?

[22:21] davsank, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [22:21] dk12548, ok now "sudo apt-get install gyachi" should work [22:21] what next glebihan [22:21] etherealite, they have a page about multiple screens and xrandr on the wiki, have you tried it ? (I believe rotation is handled at the X level rather than WM) [22:21] spunk: ext4 has been in use for ages now and is the default for 10.04 [22:21] bodwick, their are in icons, but i can see them in the icons window of themes [22:21] hey ya its working [22:22] mickster04, Ok, so I assume it is safe in some sense then. Thanks! [22:22] bodwick, http://imgur.com/1RhIP [22:22] hey its installed wow!!!!! thanks bro you are genious glebihan [22:22] hats off for u [22:22] dk12548, you're welcome [22:22] n0a1ias you've put a icon theme (folder) in icons and what's the problem? [22:22] Um, I accidentally removed the item rom the notification panel including the shutdown menu. How do I get it back? [22:23] n0a1ias ehm .. the folder is .icons [22:23] Hi, I was wondering if there are any programs that can work as "compiz" or something like that to music, kind of like audio visualization but it affects my windows instead or alike? [22:23] n0a1ias not icons [22:23] ok but glebihan can tell what is this karmic,lucid etc.... [22:23] gsnedders: right click > add to panel > indicator applet session [22:23] flupke I've read it and tested it, confirmed that it doesn't take screen rotation into account and therefore messes up pretty bad with a rotated screen [22:23] or maybe give me the link so that i can read [22:23] n0a1ias it's a hidden folder .. if doesn't exist it just create it [22:23] dk12548, those are the different release of Ubuntu [22:23] oh ok [22:24] ohhhhh , and how i know which one is mine? [22:24] IdleOne: Oh, duh, I was just trying to click on the existing notification area, expecting the area to end where the icons did. :) [22:24] dk12548, you should usually not do what we've just done actually, but as the package didn't exist for lucid, we used the one for the previous release [22:24] i think there are 5 releases of ubuntu isnt it [22:24] dk12548: lsb_release -a [22:24] gsnedders, when you remove that applet, shutdown etc appears in the System menu [22:25] so the code is $cp /icons/black-white 2 Style ~/.icons [22:25] gsnedders, just a fyi [22:25] hey my version is lucid but why should we have to do it karmic just a while ago ? [22:25] etherealite, just tried "xrandr -o left" on my laptop, works perfectly on stock awesome from the repos [22:25] dk12548, because there was no package available for lucid [22:25] how do I set ubuntu to let me choose which desktop I would like to log in to? [22:26] prefernces [22:26] dk12548, but as I said, one usually doesn't do that, but hey it works :) [22:26] it means that we can install the softwares from different species? [22:26] froggyman: at the login screen click on Session and it will give you the choice [22:27] dk12548, installing software from previous releases works fine, don't try to install from later releases [22:27] froggyman: you can select with what desktop enviroment you want to start gtom the login windoe [22:27] previos release?? u mean karmic? [22:28] duffydack you still here?

[22:29] one more thing. i want to know that i once watched a video in which the person draged the window from the active desktop to other desktop [22:29] davsank, why [22:29] dk12548: to answer your question earlier, lucid is the 12th release and you can install apps from previous releases but it is not recommended (usually) [22:29] bodwick, http://imgur.com/7Mh7x [22:29] duffydack, i don't know [22:29] oh, ok idle one [22:29] !cube | davsank [22:29] davsank: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware.

[22:34] Kryspy: not really a expert on RAID setups but wheres this 250GB coming from> [22:34] ? === zfe is now known as woodcock [22:34] duffydack [22:34] ok how to install compiz??? shoudl i use synaptic [22:34] i can't find the rotate thing [22:34] dk12548: yes [22:34] etherealite, from what I see it works normally, (and I still believe the WM doesn't know anything about orientation, what use could it do from it anyway ?) [22:34] i have been having difficulties syncing a 1G jailbroken ipod to rhythmbox. I do not seem to have write privileges on the device... any suggestions? [22:34] davsank: its in compiz settings [22:34] I have a 250 GB drive available to use to install Ubuntu on and utilize 2X 1 TB drives in RAAID 1 for storage [22:35] Guess my question is for a media server what does everyone else do :) [22:35] its saying compiz is already the newest version [22:35] davsank, in compizconfig-settings-manager? [22:35] Kryspy: oh ok, so the /home will be on one of the 1TB HDDs and the other will mirror it, yeah sounds good to me - but like i said i don't really have much experience with RAID [22:35] how should i drag my windows to other desktop by forming a cube? [22:35] !who | dk12548 [22:35] dk12548: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:36] yeah duffydack, it's not there [22:36] how do i check what usb devices are plugged in (command line)? [22:36] k... what do you use for reduncy or backup. [22:36] hello [22:36] Kryspy: nothing, well backups sorta [22:36] dk12548, then compiz is already installed, to enable it, go to System->Preferences->Appearance [22:37] dk12548, "Effects" tab [22:37] woodcock, your nick proper offends me [22:37] flupke it needs to know where on the virtual screen to seperate windows into two different work spaces. supposedly they are working on the problem and the next release is going to fix the issue. [22:37] change it please [22:37] My other thought was to not use RAID and just rsync the 2X 1TB drives [22:37] davsank, odd. What version of ubuntu [22:37] duffydack 10.04 [22:37] shuttlecock, it's my surname [22:37] :( [22:37] DrPoO: try lsusb [22:37] if you press Ctrl+Alt then the right arrow on the number pad, it should work if you have Compiz [22:37] davsank, look in your Appearance preferences.. make sure you select Extra from the effects [22:37] yeah its "extra" glebian [22:37] IdleOne, [22:37] shuttlecock is a perfectly fine english word [22:37] can't i have my surname as nick? [22:38] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._Woodcock_Jr. [22:38] my grandpa [22:38] dk12548, then you're good [22:38] :\ [22:38] estragib, where are usb devices mounted by default? [22:38] woodcock and shuttlecock fine keep your nicks. [22:38] dk12548, you can use "ccsm" to customize the effects [22:38] davsank, then go back to the compiz settings.. cube stuff is there already as fat as plugins go.. odd. [22:38] estragib, im in 10.04 and i do not see them in /media [22:38] duffydack, i have custom selected, isn't it there? [22:38] thanks IdleOne [22:38] isn't that swell woodcock [22:38] etherealite, ah I see what you mean, I'm trying on a single display though [22:38] davsank, you have simple ccsm then [22:39] oh well glebian first of all tell me how to adress someone in particular [22:39] Anyone else have thoughts on storage for a media server? RAID 1 or just rsync the drives on a daily basis ? [22:39] duffydack, what's the other package then? and how to remove this one? [22:39] dk12548, you just have to put his nick in your message [22:39] davsank, I prefer the full settings manager personally. I cant really help you with that simple-ccsm thing [22:39] davsank, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [22:39] you mean the full nick glebihan? [22:40] dk12548, yes just like that :) [22:40] isnt there some thing like tab or something [22:40] ohhhhh [22:40] dk12548, yes you can use tab to auto-complete nicks [22:40] thanks for that glebihan . gr8 it worked [22:40] DrPoO: i don't know that myself. checking.

The character is available in the font and has 2 numbers associated with it. U+00aa and 169 .. ??? [22:41] dk12548, it should already be installed (I think), try Alt+F2 -> ccsm [22:42] dk12548, yes, just look for compizconfig-settings-manager [22:42] its saying Could not open location 'file:///home/deepak/ccsm' [22:42] hello [22:42] hi [22:42] how are u [22:42] * Rosbuntu hugs VladGh [22:42] sleepy, and you? :D [22:42] how do I internet [22:42] me [22:43] !ccsm | dk12548 davsank [22:43] dk12548 davsank: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

Kubuntu and Windows do [23:27] salam [23:27] madmax_x, thanks. clever indeed. ralink rt2561 modprobe gave answers :) [23:27] sudo modprobe rt61pci [23:27] then? what should I do= [23:28] hello all bady [23:28] mneptok, i dont think i van even get to the grub but ill try again [23:28] mneptok n0a1ias seems not to have grub [23:28] n0a1ias: Plymouth has no bearing on the bootloader [23:28] hi. I want to run a script on startup. but it HAS to run before the xserver (because it selects the xservers configuration). can you point me in a direction? [23:29] Hay, why does Ubuntu not display .DESKTOP extensions??? Kubuntu and Windows do... Quiero ayudar! [23:29] Anyone ever used gnucash here? How can you add a customer without an address? It forces me to have an address, where I only have the Name and the email [23:29] dakira: add the script to SysV init runlevel 2 [23:29] im i booted into memtest [23:29] n0a1ias: boot into recovery mode [23:29] n0a1ias: do you get a grub choice? [23:29] i cant [23:29] there is no grub even with esc [23:30] dakira: you have to add it using the init scripts [23:30] n0a1ias try chrooting into current installation using live cd or reinstall [23:30] n0a1ias make a copy of important data [23:31] n0a1ias: you did not just remove Plymouth if your bootloader is this messed up. [23:31] bodwick, chrooting seems like the essayist way [23:31] dakira: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [23:32] and i did a sudo apt-get remove plumouth [23:32] Hey, anyone in here using 10.10 beta netbook edition: is there a way to add or browse network shares to the favourites without fiddling around in the terminal? [23:32] and i saw it deleating all my apps. [23:32] mneptok seems n0a1ias didn't read which packages will be also removed :/ [23:32] It doesn't seem very sensible that you can't seemingly access the file tree manually... [23:32] Maro_: Ubuntu Maverick discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1 [23:32] ah thanks rww [23:32] it didnt say any would be removed [23:32] any one here you know metalspolit ? [23:32] Hay, why does Ubuntu not display .DESKTOP extensions??? Kubuntu and Windows do [23:32] how do i chroot [23:33] where is the maverick channel? [23:33] !10.10 [23:33] 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 [23:33] and how do i know what packages to install? [23:33] mneptok: sure? X is started very early in the boot-process and doesn't care for runlevels. a simple "sudo update-rc.d myscript defaults 10" is not enough (even though it installs the script into runlevel 2) [23:33] n0a1ias http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575 [23:33] nakhlawi: thx for the link [23:34] Fuck off nerds [23:34] Get girls pl0x [23:34] !language | chutte [23:34] chutte: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:34] when ever i try to install stuff through applications/ubuntu software center i get these errors http://pastebin.com/MpzZNY3w [23:34] dakira: sure. I hope it helps. [23:35] Hay, why does Ubuntu not display .DESKTOP extensions??? Kubuntu and Windows do [23:35] ok so i follow that guide then boot into my main enviroment and open synaptic package manger? [23:35] I've asked that 5 times already [23:35] when ever i try to install stuff through applications/ubuntu software center i get these errors http://pastebin.com/MpzZNY3w [23:36] guys, I modprobed the rt61pci module, but nothing shows up in the wifi connection utility... [23:36] nakhlawi: hm.. too outdated. the xserver practically starts in runlevel2.. i think the only way is to use upstart to ensure the script runs before X. [23:36] HELLO?????? [23:36] how can I package into a deb various scripts and confs, I don't mean to make from source, I need something to just deb it so I don't have to hunt it down later??? [23:37] IS THIS NOT GETTING THROUGH??? [23:37] OptiplexGX620: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. [23:37] No se [23:37] !caps | OptiplexGX620 [23:37] OptiplexGX620: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [23:37] n0alias like you chroot and install packages using apt-get on chroot [23:37] TELL0: english here, you know that [23:37] Yes I know [23:37] I have raw DV files -- what program would you recommend for me to create a DVD out of it? :-) [23:37] bodwick, i get an error saying couldnt find package dchroot on the first step [23:37] I want help, preferably now [23:38] ??? I didn't type that. dunno how that happened [23:38] !patience | OptiplexGX620 [23:38] OptiplexGX620: 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 [23:38] hm [23:38] not impressed [23:39] OptiplexGX620: is "because that's just the way gnome does things" a good enough answer? [23:39] Does anyone know, can I have both Chrome and Chromium installed at the same time? I just installed Chomium, and it appears I have lost my Chrome isntall. [23:39] nnn: you you have update manager or synaptic open at the same time? [23:39] thune3: none are open but that [23:39] I installed audacity, it had several features (plugins). Then I restored an image of the drive, that didn't have audacity. Then I installed audacity. Now it has no plugins and there are no plugins that I can find in the repositories. [23:39] maybe, but ur losing an ubuntu guy to kubuntu [23:39] thune3: its a fresh install of ubuntu just installed it [23:39] Wow guys i have a problem: i do not remember my "connection password". This does not seem to be my root password... I don t understand... Is there a way to refix it? [23:40] OptiplexGX620: what do you mean by "display" [23:40] xcyclist, it uses a different hidden directory. [23:40] My problem is that I want to have those plugins (they are effects), but also it is interesting that I seemingly followed te same procedure as last time, and did not get the same result. [23:40] you nkow, the applet that holds passwords [23:40] OptiplexGX620: fine with me, i'm a kubuntu woman :) [23:40] How do I connect to a VPN via Ubuntu? [23:40] prometeus: a wifi connection? [23:40] econdudeawesome: depending on the vpn [23:40] prometeus: connection password would mean its your router's encryption passphrase [23:40] prometeus: i think [23:40] Does anyone know how to select text without a mouse in elinks? [23:40] jsninja: So, if I re-install Chrome, will I have both? [23:40] econdudeawesome: depends... what kind? cisco vpn? openvpn? [23:40] display: Kubuntu says "test.DESKTOP" and Ubuntu "Test" [23:40] maco: he means the the key-ring password for nm-applet [23:41] maco: iceroot cisco [23:41] OptiplexGX620: what kind of file is it? [23:41] my husband tried to upgrade from 8.04 to 10.07 .. it's not liking it and stops with a - sign on a blank screen. What can i do? [23:41] econdudeawesome: vpnc for cisco [23:41] maco: iceroot already imported the VPN settings [23:41] desktop configuration file [23:41] OptiplexGX620, http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [23:41] launcher [23:41] maco: iceroot I'm not sure how to connect to the actual VPN--everything should be ready to go [23:41] jsninja: ugh that doc is full of rudeness [23:41] econdudeawesome: if i am correct, the client is called vpnc, dont use openvpn, its not working with cisco-vpn [23:41] chalcedony: Try a fresh install or doing an upgrade to 9.10 [23:42] maco, ? [23:42] econdudeawesome: your network manager should list it in the dropdown for you to click to connect if youve set it up in there [23:42] maco, almoxarife: no it s the password manager of ubuntu,. i don t have the name (trousseau de connection in french) [23:42] prometeus: did you change your own password recently?

[23:44] econdudeawesome: er...how did you get into nm-applet to set up the vpn to start with if you cant reach it? [23:44] my system is in english, how can I check spell in spanish? I installed spanish on language support, but how can I chose to check what I typing in spanish? [23:44] maco: well, yes, but absolutely nothing on it, and it's hiding about 900 pixels to the left of the viewable monitor [23:44] maco, sure his question makes some sense. But complaining loudly that hes not getting instant free help and making statements such as "help me or else I'll move to some other variation of linux" is full of rudeness. And could certainly take something from that howto, despite its flaws. [23:44] Ignore the spammer, please move along. [23:44] maco: of course I can alt-f1 to bring up what I need [23:44] jsninja: eh he said he'd go to a different version of ubuntu... the one i prefer ;-_ [23:44] *;-) [23:44] nnn: you could see of another app has the lock file open: sudo lsof /var/lib/apt/lists/lock [23:44] maco: I set it up in System > Preferences > Network Connections [23:45] how can I reset the keyring password? [23:45] (i dare say it was my root one... but nope) [23:45] OptiplexGX620: try doing ls -l test.DESKTOP in the terminal in the folder that the file is in [23:45] prometeus: applications -> accessories -> passwords & encryption keys [23:45] Okay, this is the Meerkat channel, right? [23:45] prometeus: there is no root password in ubuntu [23:45] xcyclist: This is the main support channel. [23:45] wait a sec then [23:45] prometeus: you can reset your keyring pw if you remember the old one that way. if not, you can delete your old keyring and create a new one and set its pw to match your login pw and itll automatically be unlocked on login [23:46] Okay. Sorry guys, I'm not used to this Konversation yet. [23:46] !meerkat | xcyclist [23:46] xcyclist: 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 [23:46] thune3: I GOT IT WORKING, BUT ITS NOT WANTING TO INSTALL ON SOME STUFF [23:46] thune3: sorry caps [23:46] maco: any idea? (I disconnected for a moment there...) [23:46] OptiplexGX620: its just a gnome thing. gnome tries to make things simple instead of useful. if you prefer kde's way, go with it. doesnt bother me if you go to the one i prefer (kubuntu) [23:46] No such file or directory [23:46] it says [23:46] maco: in the apps section the password says: password:login [23:46] my system is in english, how can I check spell in spanish? I installed spanish on language support, but how can I chose to check what I typing in spanish? [23:46] prometeus: yeah [23:46] OptiplexGX620: are you in the right directory? [23:47] yes [23:47] maco: if I set it up to connect automatically, am i good to go? [23:47] OptiplexGX620: caps matters... [23:47] then try ls -l [23:47] econdudeawesome: yes [23:47] and see if it is listed there [23:47] TELLO just down load the language translater from Ubuntu Software Centre [23:47] .desktop in lowercase says: [23:48] a whole bunch of things [23:48] tensorpudding: OptiplexGX620 said the file, the *same file* is listed with an extension in kde and not with one in gnome. thats not the file name changing. thats just the DEs displaying things differently [23:48] thanks yorkie_ian [23:48] maco: cool, worked then. How do I connect if I take off auto-connect? [23:48] too complicated [23:48] hi im trying to dual boot but during the install process the screen goes blank, probably coz im using an hdmi cable, is there a way round this ? [23:48] econdudeawesome: you would need to be able to click on the nm applet in the panel and select it from the list. i think there's also a command line way to use network manager though [23:48] In Nautilus I can see the .desktop file extension, so I don't know what the issue is. [23:48] onyxgaze_: Needs moar details. Distro, one you are upgrading to, etc. [23:49] yorkie_ian, can't see that language package? [23:49] fine. gnome sux. i accept that [23:49] hipstersandwich 10.04 is the one im installing with win7 as the other os [23:49] by [23:49] Nautilus should show file extensions always, should it not? [23:49] tensorpudding: inside the file browser, i think then it shows it, but not on the desktop [23:49] onyxgaze_: Where in the process did it do that? What steps were taken? Lead me through it. [23:50] maco, it asks me the name for the new keyring...!!! what name= [23:50] ? [23:50] Oh, well yeah, on the desktop it ignores the .desktop extension because it treats it as a launcher. [23:50] I don't need a translator, I need to check spelling in spanish [23:50] ok boot into cd, choose install ubuntu then before it loads the installer i get a no signal on the screen [23:50] prometeus: name it same as the old so itll automatically unlock [23:50] jagO search for Language Translator and it should come up [23:50] tensorpudding: apparently not for valid .desktop files, for instance check out /usr/share/applications in nautilus (don't see any way to disable this, not that I ever noticed before now) [23:50] onyxgaze_: Try with a different type of monitor cable, please. [23:50] Optiplex never once mentioned that. [23:51] maco: the old one... i don t remember it! i deleted it but no idea! [23:51] prometeus: ok i think "login" [23:51] prometeus: but i dont use gnome so i cant just compare to mine [23:51] yeah thats what i thought hipstersandwich however i do not have a dvi cable to hand, i'll ste..borrow one from work tomoro then :) [23:51] maco! yeaaah! [23:51] i ll try now [23:51] to set the wpa key :) [23:51] onyxgaze_: I will be here tomorrow the same time if you would like to talk to me again. [23:52] tensorpudding: didnt mention what? [23:52] ok thanks hipstersandwich [23:52] tensorpudding: im pretty sure opti said s/he was looking at the desktop... === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron53672 [23:54] anyone know how to navigate quassel by just keyboard? touchpad stopped working [23:54] and i cant get to #kubuntu to ask there [23:54] (because i cant change channels) [23:54] TELLO but if typed in a word into the Translator, and translated it to Spanish, wouldn't it show you the correct spelling??
