[00:00] egsome, idk should i do cat /proc/cpuinfo ? [00:00] jrib: Laptop with external monitor setup, I want to close the lid. Right now I get around it by opening it, pressing power then closing it before post completes. [00:00] Jordan_U: ahhh interesting.. Ok I will do it.. I thought about that, though, and figured that if that were the case, windows would not booth either.. windows and linux are on different partitions on the same drive [00:01] Jordan_U: I created the LiveCD after using unetbootin to trial Ubuntu Netbook Edition and install. So I am not quite sure the LiveCD ever worked? [00:01] duffydack: I am aware of the right click menu, was curious if I could have it handled at the time download is initiated [00:01] egsome, AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-125 [00:01] all it says === Guest39359 is now known as lag [00:01] orbit go to screensaver in prefrences === lag is now known as Guest91158 [00:02] area51pilot, oh, thats browser specific [00:02] RealOpty, Maybe not useful, but with fast Googling I found that it is `AMD64` already, So, I think it can do 64bit somehow, see: http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/64-bit-computing/Pages/64-bit-computing.aspx [00:02] duffydack: example>>>u start a prepare for a file download, it asks if u want a default program to handle the file after download completes or save the file. This is where I wanted to ad the association [00:02] area51pilot, in what browser [00:02] duffydack: thought o, never hurts to ask though [00:02] Duffydack: Firefox [00:03] Does anyone use Ubuntu Server? [00:03] ldurden, Yes. [00:04] I need to pick between Ubuntu Server vs Redhat Server for a production server at my work. Is there a big enough reason to lean to one or the other? [00:04] burlington: Ubuntu installs grub to the first drive rather than the one the rest of Ubuntu is installed to. I don't really agree with that decision but it's intentional. [00:04] Hi, is it possible to have text on the side of icons rather than under them in nautilus? [00:04] pleai i m new on ubuntu [00:04] area51pilot, the last time I used it, there was option to save as file or open with, and save it [00:04] itscotter - thanks been looking for awhile - appreciate it. [00:04] is there any way to change the kernel you are using from terminal, I have a computer that isnt suuported by the new kernel and it keeps booting into terminal, when I use startx it says no video found [00:04] ldurden depends on what you need to do with it [00:04] k, stupid me, the file I downloadedd is actually called alsa-driver-1.0.23 [00:04] i was asking if they are vunrability [00:04] mysql and apache mostly [00:04] Jordan_U: I dont think that did it. I have a hitachi and a WD. I moved the hitatchi to top boot priority... but now it is not booting at all.. It freezes at "verifying DMI Pool Data"... [00:05] ldurden: is your team familiar with either already? [00:05] for a production environment? [00:05] duffydack: OK [00:05] does ubuntu have internet connection sharing? [00:05] no i thon think [00:05] !ics | ThinWhiteDuke [00:05] ThinWhiteDuke: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [00:05] egsome, i found this [00:05] http://reviews.cnet.com/processors/amd-sempron-le-1250/4507-3086_7-32637287.html?tag=specs [00:05] Red Hat but the community appears to be larger in Ubuntu and Ubuntu appears to be on the ascending with Linux [00:05] burlington: Buggy bios i guess. /out for a few.. [00:05] ubottu [00:06] is a bot [00:06] egsome, does that seem to say that it is a 64bit processor? [00:06] ldurden: I'd probably go with what I was more comfortable with, but on the ubuntu side you get 5 year support on the server for 10.04 which is pretty nice [00:06] is there any way to change the kernel you are using from terminal, I have a computer that isnt suuported by the new kernel and it keeps booting into terminal, when I use startx it says no video found [00:06] RealOpty, `# 64-bit processor Yes `, Yeah [00:06] redhat still has a huge community [00:06] Hopsa: buggy bios? before I reinstalled everything, all seemed to work.. I used to be able to access grub. [00:06] egsome, indeed. [00:06] egsome, ty. [00:07] RealOpty, Hope you enjoy 64bit computing :) === Greysc[a]le is now known as Greyscale [00:07] egsome, yeah about that, for some reason ive been using 32bit ubuntu on this machine for years now :\ [00:07] burlington: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [00:08] From an IT maintenance standpoint would I be shooting myself in the foot if I go with Ubuntu over Redhat. Linux is linux to me. I know thats blasphemy in this room but if you get down to it. [00:08] Jordan_U: It will be my first time doing it, but i will give it a shot.. thanks.. brb [00:08] ldurden linux is linux and i think you would be fine either way [00:08] thank you [00:09] stuck in step 4 [00:09] ldurden: i am an ubuntu user, but I agree with you. Linux is linux. however, the problem si the support surrounding it [00:09] RealOpty, It's the time to try 64bit of Ubuntu, I've it on my servers, but for desktop still use 32bit, thinking to move soon. ( Intel Core2Quad 2.4 GHz ) [00:09] ldurden I run an ubuntu desktop and tons of CentOS boxes for the dev/prod environment [00:09] How to enable verbose boot|startup on 10.04 (I believe it's grub2)? [00:09] Jordan_U: Can i boot from the live disk and do that? otherwise i can only boot into windows... [00:09] it is all the same [00:10] you have to make your choices around support as well as the OS itself [00:10] How do you guys feel about the Ubuntu community? I mean you are it? You see Ubuntu making the impact Red Hat has? [00:10] burlington: Yes. [00:10] ldurden: not as technical ... you might find it hard to find help for some more serious problems. [00:10] is there an alternative terminal services client than tsclient? [00:11] dibblego: what's wrong with tsclient? [00:11] it doesn't work well with a tiling window manager such as xmonad [00:11] ldurden: with ubuntu its mostly community support, and if no one know your issue, then not mch you can do [00:11] I was thinking about purchasing their support. So I wouldn't rely on the underground [00:12] dibblego: just put it in it's own window :) [00:12] ldurden: I don't think Ubuntu will make an impact as Red Hat in production environment, as a Desktop I believe it's leading. [00:12] jrib, I did that; it still doesn't work well, particularly with taking focus [00:12] egsome, yeah ive been using 64bit ubuntu on my core2duo that i use as a build machine [00:12] can anyone please tell me whats wrong with the following command line? sudo ./alsa-driver-1.0.23.sh -d [00:12] dibblego: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-February/007394.html ? [00:12] I'll take the risk with Ubuntu. Someone has to or it won't evolve. It's only going to run apache and mysql [00:13] hihihi100, What error you get ? [00:13] jrib, right, there is no way around it [00:13] dibblego: though that can be annoying, ideally, tsclient would give you the option to just ignore whatever your mod key is, but I don't know [00:13] command not found [00:13] ldurden: all of wikipedia runs on ubuntu.... [00:13] burlington: Something is making your bios not like your HD for some reason. Cable is seated properly maybe.. [00:13] wow [00:13] thats a good tid bit [00:13] any other major players? [00:13] jrib, is there an alternative to tsclient? [00:14] hihihi100, Why you put `-d` there ? [00:14] anyone to help with priv/pub keys authentification? [00:14] yva: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [00:14] cause its what apperas in the source I use, i have no idea of programming [00:14] appears [00:14] Yeah. I have plugged and unplugged them - i mean everythinginstalls with no problems.. windows runs.. etc.. [00:14] ldurden: I had great experience with FreeBSD ruining apache + mysql (and few more services). [00:15] Hopsa: yeah. I have plugged and unplugged them - i mean everythinginstalls with no problems.. windows runs.. etc.. [00:15] ldurden: kubuntu is on the desktop for some very large educational institutions (i forget which countries and my net is too slow to load kubuntu.org right now) [00:15] hihihi100, From where you've got that command ? [00:15] dibblego: http://superuser.com/questions/84387/tsclient-alternative-for-linux never used these though [00:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810 [00:15] burlington: But you said that it freezes at verifying DMI pool data. So it doesnt get past the bios. [00:15] this company is only familiar with linux, they were pushing red hat but I told them I'd prefer they make it work under Ubuntu. Red Hat is solid but the people behind Ubuntu has impressive innovation [00:16] dibblego: apt-cache search rdp client turns up some others [00:16] ok ta [00:16] I'm trying to login using private and public keys, it not working. I added my public key to .ssh/authorized_keys and activated RSAAuth and PubkeyAuth in sshd_config, anything else I need to do? [00:16] yva: restart the ssh server [00:16] jrib> /etc/init.d/ssh reload ? [00:16] yva: sudo service ssh restart [00:16] Hopsa: It only froze when I moved the other hard disk to top boot priority.. There is nothing on that one.. So that makes sense... The disk that I am trying to make work is a Western Digital - It is now set to top boot priority and windows comes up fine.. but no grub.. [00:17] yva: but aren't those options enabled by default on ubuntu? [00:17] jrib> yep [00:17] yva ssh -vvv for max verbosity [00:17] yva: what are your permissions on authorized_keys? [00:17] I haven't change RSAAuth etc [00:18] yva, my guess is the perms on your .ssh dir are too open [00:18] burlington: A problem with one of the cables for the HD that contains the Linux boot. [00:18] hi [00:18] dberry> what should they be? [00:18] What is the difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu? [00:18] ldurden: ubuntu has the gnome desktop by default, kubuntu, kde [00:19] ldurden: gnome v. kde [00:19] ldurden, Ubuntu has Gnome desktop, But Kubuntu has KDE Instead [00:19] What do you guys prefer? [00:19] ldurden: desktop interface [00:19] dberry> drwxr-xr-x on ./ssh [00:19] ldurden: it's personal preference [00:19] yva 600 I would say but run ssh w/verbose to see the actual error [00:19] Hopsa: I can try replacing the cable... but. like i said, windows is on the same drive and it is working fine [00:19] ldurden, There're also Xubuntu with Xfce [00:19] burlington: If its ide the cable can be attached upside down in some cases. This will cause that error youre having. [00:19] ldurden I prefer ubuntu do to consistent annoyances and problems with kubuntu [00:19] yva: don't put 600 on .ssh [00:19] dberry> not sure what you mean [00:20] jrib, dberry: ? [00:20] ldurden: same here ... ubuntu is very stable [00:20] yva: what are your permissions on authorized_keys? [00:20] yva ssh -v [00:20] jrib> -rw------- [00:20] great, thank you. [00:20] Jordan_U: bash: /home/ubuntu/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh: No such file or directory [00:20] yva if you are having a ssh error, try typing ssh -vv @ [00:20] ldurden, Same, Prefer Ubuntu ( Gnome ).

As you also said "before I reinstalled everything, all seemed to work". Did you install windows after linux ? This will remove grub from the MBR, but then why did the bios freeze at "Initializing DMI pool data" ? / Doesnt make sence to me. [00:23] I'm trying to scan using HP Officejet 6500, but I only see a single line in result [00:23] dberry> it was looking for an id_dsa??

Linux and windows are both on the WD. the AD is top boot priority.. Windows boots fine.. but no Grub.. [00:24] yva: just pastebin everything [00:24] sshc, tell more, How do you scan ?

[00:25] egsome: I'm scanning by clicking on the HP icon at the toolbar at the top [00:25] burlington:which linux version? [00:25] burlington: Replace the windows disk with the Ubuntu disk and see what happens, use the windows disks cables. [00:25] yva: chmod 600 /home/yva/.ssh/id_dsa [00:25] yva you do not want it that open, try 600 [00:25] area51pilot: 10.4 64bit [00:25] what he said [00:25] It prints well [00:26] ThinWhiteDuke: are you sure upnp is enabled in your router?

[00:45] wow [00:45] so many ubuntu lovers [00:45] or are they just bots ? [00:45] Nobody_Interesti, I think you've to re-install using the installer you downloaded, but put the installer file inside some suitable directory. [00:45] yva: for DSA use: ssh-keygen -t dsa ... [00:45] bumba: No, I don’t think they are all bots :P [00:46] bumba: well considering this is a support channel, not all may love ubuntu at the moment :) [00:46] hipstersandwich: http://pastebin.com/vba2Shg8 [00:46] bumba: :) [00:46] but maybe most of them [00:46] i'm liking ubuntu a lot [00:46] hipstersandwich: that's from lspci [00:46] Olytibar: you can set up a shared directory. i use /shared and put a few sub dirs like multimedia, images etc. below [00:46] what directory is best? [00:46] it takes some troubleshooting here and there but it's worth it [00:46] i love it, my audio is just too quiet or psycological warfare level [00:46] egsome, > [00:46] hopsa: ok, cable change seems to have worked! thanks! [00:46] still the same old thing [00:46] 7.1 sound surround is not supported on ubuntu [00:46] axisys: Hold on one moment.

[00:47] *its [00:47] burlington: Np! I hope itll last so that its not some glitchy connection somewhere. Have fun!

[00:48] have you tried the pulseaudio volume manager [00:48] okay so these messages are logged [00:48] burlington; anytime! :) [00:48] ThinWhiteDuke, well i have been messing with alsa, i have it almost perfect but i cannot get the sub mixer to merge with the master. so its either cranked or i have to move it by hand [00:49] i dunno if i should ask my questions here you might give my personal info to the hammas or some terror group [00:49] i'll try pulseaudio [00:49] and all i wanted to do was getting my 7.1 sourround sound to work with ubuntu [00:49] bumba: ok, let's try to stay on-topic [00:49] Nobody_Interesti, try `make uninstall` or `make remove` [00:49] idk how audio works in ubuntu [00:49] Is it possible to install 32bit Firefox on 64bit Ubuntu? [00:49] bumba: So.... don't post any personal info into a public channel? [00:49] pavucontrol [00:49] but i think i have ESD, pulseaudio and alsa all running [00:49] Eclectic: why? [00:49] with pulseaudio volume manger you can control all of them [00:50] egsome, ps... Her's the install help guide from HP [00:50] egsome, : http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html [00:50] they are spying on me [00:50] i have to go now [00:50] so this kid can use it on Starfall web site [00:50] good bye loggers and identity stealers of irc [00:50] which needs flash [00:50] and if i turn the sub of, well it sounds like two turtles.... [00:50] I have my own camera driver and I get the following error: Cannot open '/dev/video0': 11, Resource temporarily unavailable [00:50] ill try pulseaudio [00:51] Nobody_Interesti, Nothing about un-installing [00:51] I love how right when he leaves, his IP gets flashed to everyone on IRC o.o [00:51] hax!

[00:51] adobe flash pugin is always crashing (sad face) in firefox in ubuntu 10.04, how to fix this? [00:52] I can't get suspend or hiberate to work on my netbook, any advice on how to fix it or how to turn off the options? [00:52] rblst: Update it. [00:52] cjae: explain a bit better. [00:52] hipstersandwich, update what? the plugin? how? [00:52] egsome, no... it's the install guide i followed to install the HPLIP.. I just thought it might have been of interest tot you [00:52] Eclectic: you don't need 32bit firefox for flash [00:52] cjae: there are no maximum capacities. The available disk space of the partition available to all directories without limitation [00:52] rblst: Go to adobe's website. [00:53] rblst: adobes website or just google "flash test" and go to the adobe result [00:53] jrib: i read there is no 64 bit support for flash [00:53] Hopsa: how much can I fill /home in that senario? and still be able to fsck and such [00:54] egsome: see the install guide say it will install from the desktop?? surely everyone will have this folder (those who use this update) [00:54] cjae: how big is your hard drive? that's your answer [00:54] Eclectic: nspluginwrapper lets you use 32bit flash. Just visit some site that requires flash (not youtube because they detect you don't have flash) [00:54] Doyle: there must be a directory size limitation too, no? [00:54] hipstersandwich, Doyle: what about the flashplugin installer package in the ubuntu repo? [00:54] cjae: You have not shown how big the drive or partition is. [00:54] Eclectic: erm, after you're on that site, you'll get a yellow bar at the top of firefox offering to install missing plugins [00:54] rblst: Try that if you'd like. [00:54] cjae: why? [00:54] I have 2 nics (eth0 and eth5) there are in the same network (192.168.12.0) with this ips (eth5 = 192.168.12.20 & eth0=192.168.12.21) in my lap on different network (192,168.0.12) , when I ping 192.168.12.20 I get response, but not with 192.168.12.21, how can I fix this? [00:54] Hopsa: was hoping for a percent [00:55] cjae: Ill pass. [00:55] Nobody_Interesti, No problem, Install in any directory, That's not a problem. [00:55] Hey all. I'm running Ubuntu Netbook remix on an Asus 1201hab... and the headphones just stopped working. Any suggestions? [00:55] I have my own camera driver and I get the following error: Cannot open '/dev/video0': 11, Resource temporarily unavailable [00:55] hipstersandwich, no, i am asking: is there a difference, is the package useless? [00:55] Hopsa: well I was wondering if there is limitation like ntfs and 85 % to defrag [00:56] cjae: there is no limit on your partition sizes, at least none that you'll be able to reach. go wild. [00:56] boba: Have you restarted, cycled, etc? [00:56] cjae: linux already reserves the space it needs by itself [00:56] SeanInSeattle, Sure the headphones are working ? [00:56] boba: the previous or some other camera driver is still running. Possibly a zombie process or so. [00:56] egsome:what do you mean? === ty is now known as Guest21462 [00:56] egsome: I don't understand. === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [00:56] jrib: for some reason i have never gotten that yellow bar [00:57] hey people [00:57] well pulseaudio was a bust [00:57] same exact issue [00:57] Nobody_Interesti, Just install in any directory like /opt/hplib [00:57] guess ill disable the sub [00:57] Nobody_Interesti, and try to uninstall as i mentioned before [00:57] Eclectic: That is probably due to regular updates. [00:57] I have my own camera driver and I get the following error: Cannot open '/dev/video0': 11, Resource temporarily unavailable [00:57] SeanInSeattle, The Headphones ( Hardware ) Is working ?, Had you test it in another computer ? [00:57] egsome: What do you mean "sure the heaphones are working"? [00:57] Doyle: dunno just thought there might be [00:57] Eclectic: if you want me to guess, I'd say you already have some flash plugin installed [00:57] egsome: could you give some more details on how to uninstall? thanks [00:57] hi, I need to buy a video card for my future ubuntu 10.04 install... any recommendations???? [00:57] egsome: Yes, we've tried with two different sets. [00:57] Eclectic: what does http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ say? [00:58] cjae: Having a bit of space left is always good, but what you mean by "defrag" on Linux doesnt require free space. A bit of ram. [00:58] boba: I take it you just rebooted. [00:58] Nobody_Interesti, Just `cd` to the directory on your Desktop, Then run `make uninstall` or `make remove`, It's just a try. [00:58] cjae: this is the year 2010... start thinking like the evil programmers, disk space and ram is unlimited so whats the need for default limitations on home directories [00:58] egsome: do i have to stop the HP software? [00:58] SeanInSeattle, Changed any configuration in the `Sound Preferences` ? [00:59] Nobody_Interesti, Sure. [00:59] egsome: how? [00:59] Doyle: kind of figured that but was just curious [00:59] cjae: our world is in an era of massive resources, lazy programmers and 'users' who just don't know. I get ya, better to know than to be unsure [00:59] jrib: successfully installed [00:59] hipstersandwich: Yes I did reboot in order to try to fix the same problem [00:59] Nobody_Interesti: Press "Stop" or "Pause" :) /joking [00:59] Nobody_Interesti, run `ps -aux | grep hp` and get the process name, then `killall PROCESS` [00:59] hipstersandwich: But it did not work [00:59] egsome: Nope. I haven't touched them in forever. [00:59] Eclectic: there you go [01:00] boba: Problems on other computers? [01:00] hipstersandwich, Doyle: adobe's webpage says i have 10,1,82,76 installed which is the latest version; what then? [01:00] hipstersandwich: I had this problem several times with this application on computer and also other computers [01:00] so i should unstall all flash and start over? [01:00] Eclectic: why? [01:00] rblst: Get a new browser? [01:00] hipstersandwich: I had this problem several times with this application on my computer and also other computers [01:00] SeanInSeattle, No idea, But I feel it's a hardware problem, maybe the socket in your computer. [01:01] boba: Is it just the camera having problems? [01:01] hipstersandwich: Nope [01:01] Eclectic: if you have flash installed, and your goal is to install flash, why would you uninstall it and start over? [01:01] boba: Did you try it on windows? [01:01] hipstersandwich: I tried it with a different camera also [01:01] egsome: Strange. We'll try a driver update... and if that doesn't work we might switch over to regular Ubuntu. [01:01] jrib: because the site says i still need flash installed [01:01] hipstersandwich: No the driver is only for Linux [01:02] I mean the camera. [01:02] Eclectic: what version does the link I gave you say you have? What site says you still need flash installed? [01:02] SeanInSeattle, You can also try running Ubuntu Live CD, to see if it working or not. [01:02] hipstersandwich: I mean the camera is working at the moment [01:02] SeanInSeattle, Or from USB Stick [01:02] hipstersandwich: I mean the camera is working at the moment on Ubuntu [01:02] hipstersandwich: But not with my own implemented application [01:02] jrib: I'm sorry that is an active X that needs to be installed [01:02] boba: Oh. Can't help you with your own apps. [01:02] egsome: That's a very good idea. I'll try that out. [01:03] On Ubuntu 10.04, experiencing choppy Flash video playback in fullscreen mode. Any suggestions? [01:03] egsome: This is one of the 4 processes.. /hp-systray < Do i do > killall /hp-systray ? ? [01:03] Eclectic: ah, well active x is some internet explorer thing [01:03] tew88: Are you using Firefox? [01:03] anyone experience klamav or clamav-gtk slowing the receipt of their email down considerably and what if anything can be done about it outside of actually removing clamav?? [01:03] hipstersandwich: I think as I have searched on the internet this is a common problem [01:03] Nobody_Interesti, No, do: `killall hp-systray` [01:03] hipstersandwich: Chrome. But I think it's the same across all my browsers. [01:03] hipstersandwich: for example it happens with cheese also [01:04] Scunizi: Using antivirus can slow systems down considerably. [01:04] hipstersandwich: and is not related to my application [01:04] maybe i can find some learning programs and he will not need the web [01:04] cp -R /etc /dev/sdb1/hp2backup2/etc1 [01:04] cp: accessing `/dev/sdb1/hp2backup2/etc1': Not a directory ??? [01:04] tew88: Ooh... I know firefox has choppy youtube at times. [01:04] Eclectic: what kind of learning? [01:04] hipstersandwich: understandable but the "whole" system? [01:04] iluminator101: well is it... [01:04] egsome: hp-systray: no process found [01:04] 3 year old [01:04] hipstersandwich, what do you mean? my firefox is the latest available from the standard ubuntu repo [01:04] Scunizi: Sometimes. Like if you scan a whole 250GB drive. [01:05] jrib i am trying to copy /etc to /dev/sdb1/hp2back2/etc1 [01:05] Nobody_Interesti, Make sure process name is correct, Or it may be already killed. [01:05] rblst: I was unaware. Try another browser, perhaps. [01:05] iluminator101: I saw. What did the error tell you? Check if the error is lying to you or not. [01:05] jrib etc1 is a folder [01:05] hipstersandwich: did that earlier and left for 2 hours.. caught 3 in email... not that it would affect me much but perhaps my windows bretherin [01:05] iluminator101: ls -ld /dev/sdb1/hp2backup2/etc1 [01:05] hipstersandwich, that is a workaround for sure :) [01:05] iluminator101: wait, why /dev??? [01:06] jrib, its an external harddrive [01:06] egsome: Quick question, how to create live usb installation of ubuntu? Can I just use the startup disk creator? [01:06] I have a Dell 600SC and I am trying to get ubuntu working on it. It would not boot the 9.x or the 10.04 install CDs, but I read a thread that said somebody was able to install 8.4.4 and upgrade from that. Partially true - it loaded and rebooted 8.4.4 just fine, but after upgrading to the latest release the reboot fails, looks like a kernel module problem. [01:06] iluminator101: you don't access it through /dev. You mount it somewhere [01:06] SeanInSeattle, Yup. [01:06] hipstersandwich: Could you please suggest what you would do if this was the case with cheese for example? [01:06] rblst: Try chrome, or Minefield, the firefox alpha if you feel adventurous. [01:06] jrib: thanks much [01:06] avi_: thx, I'll do that. [01:06] SeanInSeattle, Exactly, It's perfect one. [01:06] boba: I haven't a clue. [01:06] hipstersandwich, i might try those, thanks [01:06] Is there an easy way I can get the kernel/modules from 8.4.4 on the box and use them while I figure out how to get more recent stuff to work? [01:06] HP logo is in my taskbar... I think it is still running? [01:06] SeanInSeattle, Also you can use unetbootin [01:07] Nobody_Interesti, try `pkill PROCESS` [01:07] Eclectic: there was some tux program that did basic arithmetic I think. Check out edubuntu, they probably have some good programs installed by default (and those programs will be in the ubuntu repositories because the repositories are the same [01:07] Scunizi: Try running antivirus scans at night or when it is not used. [01:07] jrib: thanks i'll try that [01:08] hipstersandwich: so basically turn off realtime scanning and run it manual [01:08] Scunizi: Yes, this will help. With speed, that is. [01:08] hipstersandwich: k.. easy enough. I appriciate it. [01:08] Eclectic: http://gcompris.net/wiki/Manual looks pretty good (linked from edubuntu) [01:08] egsome: it done something... but the hp-systray is still there? [01:09] egsome: 4 of them [01:09] hello roomies [01:09] on ubuntu hoary lol [01:09] only thing that works with my compaq dual monitor setup [01:09] deavid: /win 2 [01:09] Nobody_Interesti, OK, Just re-install, and it should be gone with a restart, or quick killing of gnome-panel [01:10] How do I get alsa to detect my HDMI audio card? [01:10] egsome: I'll reinstall then [01:10] egsome: Thanks for all you patients and help! Thank you. [01:12] Your Welcome [01:12] jrib why not a directory error i am following at all [01:12] egsome: before i leave... do you think I can just move the folder from my desktop into the /opt/ ? Would anything happen> [01:12] iluminator101: doesn't matter, did you see what I told you about mounting? === dmiles is now known as shaggyoaf [01:13] jrib: yo just wanted to thank u for esekeyd :) its not a 100% solution yet but pretty damn close :D . the only downside with esekey is that it only grabs ONE key, so i cant for example type "ctrl+atl+p" to pause amarok... but maybe i can combine it with another program or so, do u know some? [01:13] berot3: never used it. Maybe just use some Fn keys in the corner like F8-F12? [01:13] is there a newer version of hoary than 5.04? [01:14] jrib cp -R /etc/* /media/Expansion drive same error why [01:14] hiii people [01:14] doyle_: hoary is 5.04 by definition and it's no longer supported [01:14] its the only ubuntu that works with my laptop man i wish they wouldnt be so time critical on this [01:15] doyle_: why doesn't lucid work? [01:15] Help [01:15] it wont see my extended monito [01:15] only hoary will [01:15] doyle_: that's it? [01:15] i have to explain in depth [01:15] !Hoary [01:15] Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) was the second release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 31, 2006. See !eol for more details. [01:16] i have to use extended monitor on this laptop as primary because the lcd display is flaky and works when it wants to thats built into this laptop.

[01:17] doyle_: "none of them worked" is vague. I'd be really surprised if you absolutely couldn't get it to work [01:17] well be surprises [01:17] Nobody_Interesti: nothing, just tells ubottu to answer your question (see what he said) [01:18] cause its a compaq evo n1015v ati agp320m (u1) video doubles as northbridge [01:18] doyle_: what I'm trying to say is you should come here and try to troubleshoot a supported release like lucid [01:18] okra: 10.10 discussion is in #ubuntu+1 ; as for 10.04, the forums has plenty of info on touchscreens [01:18] and hoary was the best one for this laptop [01:18] doyle_: are you using proprietary drivers on hoary? [01:18] no [01:18] i just finished installing it [01:18] Doyle_ is it a intel chip?

The folder is left on my desktop & I don'y know if I am allowed to move or delete it?

I have to reboot to force the system to mount them. Just plugging stuff in doesnt work.... What should i do to force ubuntu to mount stuff without me having to reboot? [01:21] they tried that in linux int 9 mirc but nothing worked [01:21] doyle_: again this is too vague [01:21] what info do you want? [01:22] i m telling you from experience in front of my very eyes i tried 4 other versions but im trying to stay away from windows [01:22] doyle_: come back and troubleshoot lucid, that's my advice. Or just use an unsupported release like hoary. If you don't interact with the outside world with it, I guess it's not a big deal [01:23] jrib how do u expect me to troubleshoot anything with a lcd that wont stay on? u gotta see whats on the screen [01:23] iwlist wlan0 list shows about 13 wifi channel including mine.. but the wifi applet on top right corner shows network disabled.. i hit the builtin wifi button on/off couple times.. no go.. any suggestion? [01:23] evtest shows events when I touch the screen, but xev does not.. hmm. [01:24] i would need that lcd back on this laptop to do that [01:24] im shopping for a replacement screen locally till then its gonna behoary just so i can see anything [01:24] doyle_: so what's the issue? [01:25] dmesg says iwlagn RF_KILL bit toggled to enable radio.. but still no wifi [01:25] does anyone know of a way to repair jpeg headers? [01:25] just like the live cd installs. they wont see my extnded screen [01:25] doyle_: I mean what's your issue with using hoary until you get the screen? [01:26] looks like i had the wifi applet right click -> enable did the trick [01:26] hi, are there any way to control my laptop's fan? the problem is that it gets very hot, above 100 c, thanks [01:26] Just installed the ubuntu 10.10 beta and I think it wiped out my windows 7 partition..

[02:24] CentiZen: I understand it to be the same as ubuntu; it's like kubuntu or xubuntu to ubuntu in that the only difference is what's installed by default, in which case a special desktop for netbooks is preinstalled [02:24] CentiZen, Not too much, But it's more suitable for small screens. [02:24] CentiZen, Personally, I prefer normal Ubuntu even on netbooks [02:25] latagore: what gfx drivers r u using? [02:25] here is the page I am trying to view ... http://www.informit.com/library/library.aspx?b=STY_Java2_24hours [02:25] bodwick: ATI, the proprietary one [02:25] CentiZen: egsome summed it up nicely; you may get better battery performance if you try running a lighter weight window manager and that sort of thing, though [02:25] so no one knows about ctrl-alt-numlock here?

[02:28] bodwick: I can look for them on the internet, but I don't know how to play with them [02:28] egsome, online ? is the meaning of my name in Arabic lmao [02:29] bodwick: Proprietary or open-source drivers? [02:29] blsmith, `/opt/printer-driver` should be good, as I think. [02:29] latagore fglrx [02:29] blsmith, Which driver you're going to install ? [02:29] mobasher, Yeah, Exactly :) [02:29] nsd: mousepad? ctrl+alt+numlock allows the user to control the mouse with the keypad in the event that they either do not have a mouse or the mouse quits for some reason. From time to time I find myself in need of it, and can't remember which keys modify `5' to act as single/double click or whatever [02:29] latagore open-source drivers don't allow power scaling etc [02:30] whoops, I meant IdleOne [02:30] (see above) [02:30] egsome: Epson Artisan 50 Print Drivers [02:30] nsd: try shift-alt-numlock [02:30] egsome, damn... [02:30] nsd: in windows it is ctrl-alt-numlock [02:30] epsome:http://linuxhcl.org/browse/product?id=7503 [02:30] blsmith, So, Which driver you're going to install ?, provided by the manufacturer or what ? [02:31] IdleOne: you're right, I forgot; it is shift, but my question was what keys modify the behavior of the `5' key; e.g., I think + changes it to double click [02:31] egsome: see link above [02:31] I cant find a clear answer but ubuntu overwrote my windows 7 partition, but my kids pictures on there.

Any other suggestions> [02:41] egsome: asking me to run 'apt-get -f install' should I proceed [02:41] does anyone know what is a good vnc server to be accessed by vinagre? [02:41] blsmith, Most time not fixing problems for me, but give it a try. === Cliff_ is now known as GClliffW [02:41] etherealite, I installed it from here -> http://www.dropbox.com/downloading?src=index Deb's are available from there and use gdebi to open it and it's all easy from there. [02:41] andyis: fgure out what the native res is for yur monuitor. and set the res to be the same. [02:42] egsome: Didn't fix the install issue, Should I reboot? [02:42] vmware is pretty cool man..just tried windows 7 first time it's nice [02:42] andyis: also check for some 'scale' options in the settings. [02:42] Mmmk. Any help on that? Its a labtop, so I'm not sure where to start [02:42] OK [02:42] blsmith, tried to install `lsb` ? [02:43] etherealite, is there anything preventing you from using a GUI like are you using Ubuntu Server? Because if you have a GUI the best way is through those download links and gdebi [02:43] blsmith, Reboot doesn't change much in Linux, ( Linux to be root, Windows to reboot ) :) [02:43] etherealite, by best I mean easiest. [02:43] headkase314 does that have the nautilus deps? I have a gui, just no nautilus [02:43] egsome: sorry used to windows. [02:43] let me pastebin [02:43] blsmith, OK. [02:43] Hello [02:43] headkase314 what vnc server would you recommend would you remote viewing from computers that have say ubuntu 9.04 and/or 10.04 [02:44] Hi all, I need some help with ubuntu server. Can any one suggest me with the interrupt load balancing issue? [02:44] etherealite, it hooks into nautilus but I don't know if it'll just ignore nautilus not being present or not. You end up with an icon in your system tray at the end. [02:44] egsome: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/W5hLB8E6 [02:44] I have files with ioncube but show blank in browser even when put ioncube folder on it, please help me === Greyscale is now known as Greysc[a]le [02:44] headkase314 I have to system tray, not using gnome [02:44] incognito, sorry I don't know enough about VNC servers to recommend a particular one. [02:44] blsmith, Now run `sudo apt-get -f install` [02:44] should I install ioncube or is there any requirment to show encoded files ? [02:44] incognito: in theory they all should be compatable. === [styx] is now known as styx|food [02:44] !info ioncube [02:45] Package ioncube does not exist in lucid [02:45] headgasket314 thanks anyways. [02:45] egsome: same results: herehttp://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zQih5xdB [02:45] etherealite, I'm not sure I'll be able to help you then as that version of Dropbox depends on gtk. [02:45] egsome: sorry http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zQih5xdB here [02:45] help! [02:45] !help [02:45] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:45] Hi all good evening [02:46] blsmith, run `sudo apt-get -f install` only, with no trailing `lsb` [02:46] etherealite, gdebi may offer to install dependencies but if you don't have GNOME I'd expect that to pull in a fair bit. [02:46] sharif: im not sure anyone even knows what 'ioncube' is. [02:46] popkorn_→ good night for me :-) [02:46] bye [02:46] Dr_Willis, yeah I know, but I'm wondering if you might be able to recommend on that you have experience with, or is generally known to work well with vinagre. [02:46] egsome: 111 newly installed. Is this ok to run? [02:46] popkorn_→ :) [02:46] Its like zend to decode files that encoded with it [02:47] sorry, good night to you [02:47] headkase314 I've got most of the gnome deps from installig firefox [02:47] etherealite, what is your desktop manager? [02:47] blsmith, pastebin them. [02:47] popkorn_→ np, still awake [02:47] incognito: i tend to use the tightvncserver packages for a stand alone vnc server and client [02:47] lol [02:47] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/nq1nbvAY [02:47] :) [02:47] sharif: There are good number of PHP devs in here [02:47] is 10.10 beta pretty stable? [02:48] etherealite using a window manager: xmonad. pcman for file management. [02:48] I have a machine with loads of data but it dosn't connect to my home network very well (the range is too far). Is there anyway to use its wifi card to allow aother computers in its range to access it like a NAS but not actually have it going through my home router? [02:48] blsmith, Seems OK. [02:48] popkorn: doesn't the beta imply not stable? [02:48] ok. thanks [02:48] somewhat [02:48] hi all, my laptop is Sony Vaio E Series, i can't get audio signal after install Ubuntu 10.04. But when i run "lspci | grep Audio", my bash return : 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05) [02:48] etherealite, I'm not familiar enough with either of those to offer good advice. Perhaps try to install and you have apt to remove it if that deb doesn't work? === JoshuaP is now known as thatjoshdood [02:49] popkorn_: I won't run anything important on it or save anything important to it. But thats just me. [02:49] Well, looks like IRSSI works. [02:49] I am confused and looking for help [02:49] Dr_Willis Do you know if tightvnc can be accessed by vinagre or will I have to install it on my client machines. I do like tight because it's cross platform. [02:49] headkase314 k thanks, [02:49] egsome: What about an FTP server? [02:49] thanx blsmith [02:49] anyone used diff command ? doesit shows the two files or just outputs the difference if any ? [02:49] So if the NVidia beta drivers break my X, you guys'll be seeing me again. ;) [02:49] !ask | sharif [02:49] etherealite, you're welcome, sorry I couldn't be more help. [02:49] sharif: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:49] incognito: in theory all vnc servers should be compatable aith all vnc clients. they should be backwards compatable. [02:49] i need something to compare the two files [02:50] Dr_Willis, No luck :P There's still a black zone around the left monitor.... [02:50] popkorn_. plus if 10.04 is LTS, then I would install that and once 10.10 is out of beta, upgrade to it if you want to. [02:50] incognito: tightvnc has servers and a viewer. [02:50] blsmith, Don't have one, never liked it :), I use some PHP Scripts to manage all of my uploads/downloads, and SSH is so enough for me. [02:50] bodwick: How can you check which driver is installed? [02:50] Dr_Willis thanks [02:50] andyis: and your chipset is what exactly for that video card? [02:50] blsmith, If you need one, just install `pureftpd` for example. [02:50] dream: Use diff [02:51] egsome: geez, how many php scripts do you have running. [02:51] someone help me. Please! [02:51] i tried that dpac_ but i dont see any output [02:51] !ask | chungbd [02:51] chungbd: 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).

[02:55] egsome: youve been a big help [02:55] Dr_Willis→ thanks [02:56] hello all. I'm new to irc (first time, I've never been able to get connected before), and relatively new to Ubuntu. My tech-support son is at college and unavailable and I'm far to embarrassed to tell him I've been messing with my system anyway :/ Problem is my cd/dvd drive. Something isn't working and I receive a message at boot that says mount: mounting none on /dev failed..... I've spent the last two days in the support docs look [02:57] slt === Out`Of`Control is now known as Viper [02:57] je cherche des films [02:58] VintageRitz: the last part of your post got chopped.. what exactly isn't working with the cd/dvd rom? Can't play a commercial movie? [02:58] Is there a way to install KDE without all the "Oh look, we can put a 'K' in the name of our program, allow it to run in other WMs, albeit incredibly laggy" programs?

[02:58] I've spent 2 days in the support docs looking for info (getting educated), but finding no direction. [02:59] VintageRitz: and that was it? .. nothing there to suggest that it's the cd/dvd rom .. was there more to it? [03:00] I'm trying to burn backup files (ironic, huh) and the drive won't accept anything. just pops the dvd right out [03:00] with a failed error [03:00] VintageRitz: what program are you trying to use to do that?

[03:02] ...heyo? Anyone able to help with my monitor problem? [03:02] lulu7: no. I didn't get to try much. Tried playing a commercial DVD and spent the rest of the day trying to figure out how to spin down the drive and get it back out. [03:02] I HATE being the newbie [03:03] CkhiKuzad: it may be the way you phrase things, though i generally agree about the K names :/ [03:03] VintageRitz: might be gnomebaker, might be a bad disk.. personally I"d install k3b .. it's pretty much the defacto standard for burning cd's/dvd's .. and the interface is "nicer" [03:03] Scunizi: k3b?

The wireless card worked in Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty,and it also worked in Linux Mint. I have not been able toget it to work in Lucid, though, so I'm slumming in a Vista partition. [03:22] oops i thought he asked for a directory [03:22] Is anyone able to tell me what I have to do to get this working? [03:23] Hi All. My work blocks access to gmail and was wondering about a simple proxy solution I can setup on my home webserver. Anyone have any recommendations on where to start? [03:23] datadude, can you do lspci | grep i net and paste bin here [03:24] rockhopper: I am in Vista right now, as I can't get online in Lucid. :( [03:24] zonyl, you can run squid in your home pc and tunnel to your pc from your work pc with ssh [03:24] VintageRitz: How familiar are you with the terminal? [03:24] IdleOne, if i want write something in the already created file what is the code [03:24] datadude, do that lspci | grep i net and see if the device's being detected [03:24] can someone help me out with rhythmbox plugin?

[03:25] i tried this in the terminal but i went to a port check site it said the port is closed [03:25] lulu7: I stumble my way around mostly [03:25] datadude, and do iwconfig to see if you get something like wlan0 or eth1 [03:25] Help with print server please. I connected to localhost:631 but nothing is there [03:25] VintageRitz: check your /dev directory for cdrom [03:25] can someone help me out with rhythmbox plugin? [03:26] lulu7: but I'm getting there. mess up enough and you learn lots of commands. [03:26] neobos: I strongly suggest you go to http://ubuntu-manual.org/ and download the free manual. it has a lot of very useful and helpful info. [03:26] if you can see your device with lspci command and can't find with iwconfig, try reinstalling the drivers for it! [03:26] rockhopper: i have squid, ssh etc, unfortunately, they block everything at L7 to http [03:26] datadude: i can tell you that dell usually puts cheap broadcom's in everything, maybe it needs a driver? [03:26] zonyl, Isn't the port 22 open at your work place? [03:26] lulu7: can you explain a bit more? [03:26] IdleOne, thanks see my pm [03:26] rockhopper: I tried updating the driver through Vista, and it said it was up to date. Should I just search for a better one? [03:27] They must have some port open, just use that port for the sshd in your home pc!! [03:27] rockhopper: Nope. I have nmap the whole shebang with nothing. Only HTTP rolls through their transparent proxy. [03:27] neobos: I did not recieve any pm from you [03:27] receive* [03:27] zonyl, Is at least port 80 open? [03:27] neobos: there is a book called Unix Power Tools that I believe would be a very nice addition to your bookshelf, check it out [03:27] datadude, I'm talking about updating the driver in ubuntu! not in the vista [03:28] zonyl: Yes, but I have tried to route 80 to ssh and it would appear they are inspecting the packet at L7 to ensure it is http traffic. [03:28] rockhopper: How would I go about doing that? [03:28] zonyl: ssh doesn't use port 80 uses port 22 [03:28] noisewaterphd: can i get downloaded [03:29] zonyl: you could tunnel ssh over http, then they won't block [03:29] zonyl: it uses the port I specify in as the startup param ;) [03:29] como pongo ares en ubuntu [03:29] !es | transportador1 [03:29] transportador1: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[03:30] Blue1, I think we can set ssh to use port 80. It uses port 22 as default [03:30] neobos: http://www.unixguide.net/linux/linuxshortcuts.shtml [03:30] how do I unlock the keyring on login automatically? It's so annoying to have to type my password every time. [03:31] Blue1: I had changed the init.d/ssh to startup on 80 for testing. [03:31] lulu7: okay, I'm in /dev [03:31] datadude, then It must be supported in the lucid as well!! If not, google for the appropriate drivers and install them! [03:31] VintageRitz: dir -d c* Just like that and see if cdrom shows up [03:31] datadude, If you can't find the drivers, you can use ndiswrapper and use windows drivers for it! [03:32] Typh: I think you can change your password to a blank one, under Apps > Acces > Passwords [03:32] very unsafe [03:32] unsafe how [03:32] datadude: if you haven't already, go to System>Admin>Hardware Drivers and see if there is a proprietary broadcom driver avail for your card [03:33] zonyl: i don;t know about your isp, but my isp blocks incoming http: (port 80) [03:33] lulu7: comes back asking for me to specify, I think: cdrom cdrw char console core cpu_dma_latency [03:33] Typh: less security means less safe. IMHO [03:33] noisewaterphd: I have tried that before, but it keeps saying that there's an error. [03:33] datadude: assuming that it is a broadcom [03:33] datadude: what is the error [03:34] Let me reboot into Ubuntu and find out. [03:34] ldleone, cant send pm to u [03:34] Back in just a few,guys.

[03:34] Typh: I think it means that your passwords will be stored in plain text on your machine [03:34] lulu7: if you have the time, what does the "dir" and "-d" mean? I assume it's something to do with directory. List what's in it? [03:35] iptux error? [03:35] lulu7: trying to learn here. Most things are sensible, which is nice. There's just a LOT of it. [03:35] firefox already stores passwords in plain text, and I'm much more concerned about them than anything OS related [03:35] Just say no to storing passwords [03:35] Blue1: I have ssh, squid, asterisk, etc installed on my server at home. The firewall at work (I believe it is an old ISA box) wont allow anything other than HTTP traffic and they block gmail. [03:36] haha, never. convenience is most important to me.

[03:37] neobos: I don't use facebook. why do you even meed to find me on facebook? [03:37] Blue1: Yes. I figured the best way would be to setup a reverse proxy on apache, but I am not familiar with all of the tools available in ubuntu to do that. I havent seen much on google about examples of proxying gmail.

[03:38] neobos: I can be found in this channel and if I am not around there are plenty more people who can help you in here. [03:38] lulu7: I've done that but I find "man" less than helpful. [03:38] ldleOne , k thanks man [03:38] cjae: last time I checked, all months had 28 days [03:38] lulu7: but I'll keep trying [03:38] Blue1: lol [03:39] Does anyone know why Kubuntu would always ask me for a password to access my NTFS partitions?

[03:52] PCChris: that's huge so no factor there.. hibernate/suspend is a little like voodoo.. every machine does it a different way (by mfgr and sometimes model)..

But until that time, I don't see myself using it. [04:05] not to stir up some this vs that talk, but that's just why I didn't think about putting kde on this here laptop. [04:05] Izinucs: k, thanks [04:06] lulu7: LOL, now wouldn't that be just suck for me, but I believe so. At least the outside of the case says DVD rewritable and CD rewritable all over it. [04:06] Roasted: I liked kde. somethings are way simpler. I just don;t know how stable it is now. haven't tried it since the 4.X days. [04:06] LXDE is the 2nd best to Gnome, IMO [04:06] Roasted: I've been on gnome for 5 years and just put kde on my work desktop.. no issues except with (and these are biggies) cups not starting on boot and samba doesn't connect to anything.. my gnome laptop has no issues.. but I struggle along :) [04:06] lulu7: however, this IS the first time I've tried burning a DVD. Even my boot disc was a CD. [04:06] Izinucs, yeah, it's a good platform, but I had it on my work laptop last month - never again will I make that mistake... [04:06] R0b0t1: i use for subdirectories [04:07] lulu7: I think. It's been a while, but CD's were all we had at the house. [04:07] Roasted: I tried to uninstall kontact, and it took most of KDE along with it. too bad there isn't a gnome equiv. of kontact [04:07] Izinucs, terrible network connections with servers, random errors, dolphin is a bad joke on april fools day, widgets were unpredictable, and very strange default fonts... [04:07] i really hate the akonadi server [04:07] how does one install a module that isn't on the current system? [04:08] VintageRitz: And you tried Brasero? [04:08] ritlee: sudo apt-get install [04:08] lulu7: no. I only tried GnomeBaker, then tried to play aforementioned dvd that got stuck. [04:08] Roasted: I upgraded my ubuntu gnome on my desktop and ended up with a borked system and resolution that was not correct and at this point uncorrectable.. thus kde fresh install.. works.. I still have the gnome partition and data and will fresh intstall that when I have time to see if the rez is correctable that way.. really frustrating... [04:08] Brasero ROCKS [04:09] lulu7: still doesn't explain the weird message at boot though. [04:09] Blue1 this is to install the drivers FOR my wireless, no other means of internet so apt-get isn't an option [04:09] VintageRitz: You can try Brasero or (I have never tried to burn a dvd on here) but I use Nautilus drag and drop like IE in windows. Still loops through brasero I think during burning process === Zeike is now known as brandonj [04:09] k3b [04:10] VintageRitz: I think there is something with your fstab glitching at start up with your pci, Maybe even the acpi settings [04:10] lulu7: never did drag and drop in Windows either. Heck, I didn't even know you could, lol. [04:10] * Izinucs is watching Federere loose the 3rd set :( [04:10] VintageRitz: Do you notice the system hanging at all during boot besides that glitch? [04:12] My machine just crashed and when I rebooted, nm-applet shows the wireless symbol with a red exclamation point and if I click on it, it says Network Manager is not running - can someone help with this ? [04:12] lulu7: um....not really, just there. hangs there for a while though. And, um, yeah, trying to update my graphics is where this whole thing began. Boot was fine until then. [04:12] asymptote-school: try a right mouse click on the symbol and see if the "enable network" is checked or unchecked [04:13] Izinucs: it's enabled [04:13] VintageRitz: It hangs and throws an error but still works after login. (strange) [04:13] asymptote-school: and wireless too? [04:13] no - wired [04:14] Izinucs: if I left-click on nm-applet it says "NetworkManager is not running..." [04:14] asymptote-school: you could open a terminal and start the nm-appelate that way.. see what happens.. personally I have a love/hate relationship with nm-appelate [04:14] please, you gotta help me [04:15] Izinucs: I know a lot of people like wicd but I've never had any problems until suddenly my machine crashed just now [04:15] I was installing ALSA. i was just doing copy/paaste from a website [04:15] lulu7: says "mount: mounting none on /dev failed....." something like that. Hangs there for 10 secs or so, then goes on to the splash (?) screen and comes up fine. [04:15] Izinucs: I'd really like to know what happened and how my network connection was affected [04:15] Izinucs: do you know of any way for me to verify that my network card isn't damaged ? [04:15] asymptote-school: that or simply uninstall nm-appelate and do it manually in the conf files.. [04:15] when the system shut down, and then restarted, and now my wholw monitor sceen loks weird!! [04:16] asymptote-school: I was never able to get wicd to work [04:16] Looks weird [04:16] Can anyone do a diagnosis of my PC? [04:16] on a LOG [04:16] or something? [04:16] asymptote-school: you could do a ifdown eth0 in terminal and then a ifup eth0 and see what happens. [04:16] i know there is a way to fix this [04:16] !pastebin | invitado [04:16] invitado: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[04:17] lulu7: and I STILL have no openGL for cairo-dock, so I ended up right where I started, but now with an additional something weird going on. [04:17] If possible I prefer not to remove an application if it's been working all this time [04:17] invitado: /var/log/messages or just do a dmesg [04:17] asymptote-school: the other is wifi radar.. but I'm not sure about using it for a wired connection.. I haven't used it in the last year [04:17] lulu7: that'll teach me........but probably not. [04:17] Hi, I'm attempting to run a TFTP and DHCP sever. When I do "sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart" i get a fail. I'm on 10.04 [04:17] Izinucs: no I'm familiar with that - no need to install that [04:18] asymptote-school: perhaps remove and reinstall it [04:18] Izinucs: is it gnome-network-manager ? [04:18] VintageRitz: Not every install likes every set up out there. Lesson learned the hard way [04:18] If I werte to spring for a real RAID controller card, linux shouldn't have any of the issues that I am having with fakeRAID with that setup, correct? [04:18] asymptote-school: yes [04:18] asymptote-school: or simply network-manager [04:19] Izinucs: ok and I use the --purge option right [04:19] lulu7: yeah, I'd probably try to roll back, but I'm kind squeamish now about touching anything. [04:19] asymptote-school: the same name typically can be used to start it from a terminal then you can watch the output [04:19] Hmmmm [04:19] Izinucs: yeah I was trying that as well [04:19] asymptote-school: yes --purge [04:19] I googled a lot and no matter what I tried, the applet kept saying NetworkManager is not running [04:19] and it was showing up in ps -ae [04:19] asymptote-school: sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager [04:19] just really would like to know what happened [04:20] How can I get a dump of every installed package, in a format condusive to reinstallation? [04:20] lulu7: it's only broke this far, don't try to break it more (derivative of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it.") [04:20] Where is the syslog???? [04:20] VintageRitz: google.com/linux is a good place to poke around also [04:20] like I'm about to format my system, and I want a dump of packages to reinstall, on a best effort basis. [04:20] dvasile1: /var/log/messages [04:20] blue1: ty [04:20] Izinucs: ugh...sine I removed it do you think you could help me get my interfaces working [04:20] dvasile1: err /var/log/syslog sorry about that. [04:21] Izinucs: this is really embarassing I'm usually helping everyone in the Networking & Wireless sub forum on UF [04:21] Izinucs: I've just never encountered this before [04:21] lulu7: I do have to say that most write-ups and documentation falsely assume a certain amount of knowledge, although the Ubuntu support docs, both official and community are really QUITE good. [04:21] asymptote-school: :).. I'll switch computers and be there as Scunizi.. my nick spelled backwards.. my desktop is setup as static .. manually [04:22] Izinucs: ty === Blue1 is now known as Blue1away [04:22] VintageRitz: I am not sure about the dock issue [04:22] lulu7: one thing I can't find, though, is where to locate different commands for the terminal. For example, which commands need sudo and which don't. [04:23] lulu7: dock? [04:23] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zTgTXsh0 [04:23] lulu7: oh. gotcha. [04:23] when base-config asks, "Shall I enable md5 passwords?", what does that mean exactly? [04:23] lulu7: no worries. that was just me complaining. [04:23] pLEASE, someone check this log, and see whats wrong whit it [04:24] I'm trying to set up my dhcp3-server for pxe boot. I used the default config here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer but it doesn't work. How do I know what IP range to set it to?? [04:24] asymptote-school: ok.. martini in hand and have powered my nose.. [04:24] Scunizi: lol i'm going to pm you ok so we have our own window [04:24] VintageRitz: For the most part it will say if you need to be sudo. Usually things on a "system" level require sudo [04:24] Scunizi: hey, you came back. Missed the chaos? [04:24] asymptote-school: sure [04:25] dvasile1, are you trying to do some thin client setup? [04:25] lulu7: yeah, I'm getting the "permission denied" = "input sudo, moron" correlation :D [04:25] lulu7: I do learn. [04:25] scott_ino: I don't think so...I just want to set up my desktop to remote install an OS on another computer [04:26] dvasile1, ahh i see [04:26] VintageRitz: If it reads the blank DVD disk then Brasero should do it (assuming the option presents itself). I have no idea how k3b is but others like it [04:26] where are you getting errors [04:27] scott_ino: I'm just following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer step by step, everything is good until I restart the dhcp server. it fails, the sys log says the config file is BS [04:27] VintageRitz, I personally find Brasero lacking in the ability to burn an ISO withouth errors [04:27] Did some one read my log? [04:27] VintageRitz: Learning the commands is just through constantly snooping around and living by the terminal [04:27] VintageRitz, in gnome I prefer gnomebaker and in kde I preger k3b [04:27] Something is wrong with my Ubuntu [04:27] lulu7: I think I'll give that a try then and if it doesn't work, I'm sure I'll be back, now that I know how to get into irc. [04:27] dvasile1, which file dhcp3.conf? [04:28] VintageRitz, be aware that if you install k3b you will also pull down a whole host of kde libraries [04:28] i mean.. dhcpd.conf [04:28] scott_ino: /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf [04:28] coz: I was trying to use gnomebaker. It won't burn, ejects the disc immediately with errors and denied permissions. [04:28] All of a sudden, the monitor resolution is BIG, and can't even fix it with nVidia monitor settings [04:28] invitado, what is your ubuntu doing that makes it "something wrong" ? [04:28] VintageRitz: It is late here, turning in soon but I am sure others can assist with it. This system you are using, is it dual-boot with Win7? [04:28] if i was wanting to learn a programming language that ubuntu uses the most what language would that be? [04:28] VintageRitz, oooo that's just not right [04:28] lulu7: yes [04:28] tacomaster, C [04:28] tacomaster: fortran77 [04:29] coz: my thoughts exactly. hard to back up that way. [04:29] VintageRitz: And the files are on which partition? [04:29] co_: I was installing a driver, and a command said to restart, and when i restat i have this monitor resolution BIG, is too BIG to fit the screen [04:29] hey all quick question how do i change the date display format on the system tray calendar manually for instance to yyyy-mm-dd [04:29] invitado, is this nvidia? [04:29] co_: And i cant even fix it with Nvidia monitor settings [04:29] lulu7: the files I'm trying to burn. They're on my Linux side. I would get rid of Windows entirely if I could watch Netflix from Linux. [04:29] YES [04:30] invitado, ok first open nvidia-settings and tell me which driver is being used [04:30] VintageRitz: That makes 2 of us, that and my work software is windows/mac only [04:30] dvasile1, hmmm sorry, maybe try the LTSP channel as they do a lot of pxe stuff/ dhcpd.conf settings and all tat [04:30] bet ya its 195 [04:30] k thanks [04:31] lulu7: I don't remember the last time I did anything over there. if you don't mind sharing, where are you located (just wondering because of the lateness). [04:31] VintageRitz: There is a petition going on to get Netflix to make a compatible player for linux [04:31] lulu7: hey, I'll sign. [04:31] That'll be the day [04:31] invitado, did you check that? [04:31] coz_: 195.36.24 [04:31] lulu7, ehh petitions wont work, it'll take good ole fashion ingenuity [04:31] ha im goodish [04:31] lulu7: love Netflix, but geez. I don't even have MS on my phone anymore. [04:31] invitado, ok now in a terminal copy and paste this command and paste the readout here lspci | grep -i vga [04:32] VintageRitz: You can also call in and ask about Linux support as they tally the calls towards the petition. [04:32] true scott_ino someone needs to write a workaround [04:32] perhaps using the wii version via dolphin? [04:32] lulu7: I will definitely do that. [04:32] Emanon, I mean it should be possible, wasn't Mono working on a silverlight port? isn't that what they use ( I don't watch netflix) [04:32] VintageRitz: EST timezone. It has been too long of a day [04:32] you mean moonlight? [04:32] coz_: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [Quadro FX 580] (rev a1) [04:32] it doesnt work yet but that would be nice [04:33] Emanon, yes Moonlight but it's made by the Mono people i thought [04:33] invitado, ok now open in that terminal type sudo nvidia-settings [04:33] lulu7: yeah, I'm central, so not quite so long yet. [04:33] soon as i re-brew my wii i should just dump the netflix disk iso and post it to be used in dolphin that would solve the problem [04:33] Hi, peeps. When I gksu gdm setup, I get things like "WARNING **: Unable to find users: no seat-id found" and when I click "Unlock", Unlock fades, but no functions activaate for input. [04:33] it might be scott [04:33] invitado, when that opens click the "X Server Display Configuration" [04:33] lulu7: head to bed then. thanks for the time and help. [04:34] invitado, there on the right...you should see a graphic of your monitor.....yes? [04:34] VintageRitz: Hope that gets working for you. [04:34] Wait, let me change to SUDO BASH [04:35] I'm getting into using forums more and more. Is there a way to have a single username that will work for all forums? [04:35] lulu7: me too. If not, I'll just make a small pest of myself until I stumble onto an answer. [04:35] melow01, no ..not unless you register on each forum with that name [04:36] melow01, get a unique username ;) [04:36] coz_, bummer. [04:36] scott_ino, how's that work? [04:36] melow01, for example .. i would assume that "melow01" is unique enough for every forum :) [04:36] so at the risk of being annoying any idea on the date change thing? [04:36] coz_: I cant [04:36] i am in another user [04:36] invitado, oh [04:36] I cant do it in my Administrator [04:36] coz_, it has been, its just a pain signing up for an account at every single forum [04:36] its too big [04:37] invitado, and can you get back to the default user account? [04:37] account..YES!! [04:37] no [04:37] 有人讲中文吗 [04:37] melow01, yes it is ,,,however ...once done it is likely "forever" :) [04:37] iF I GO BACK TO THE DEFAULT ACCOUNT, WHERE I AM ROOT, I CANT OPEN xCHAT [04:37] invitado, i am confused [04:37] oops sorry for CAPS [04:37] coz_, true [04:38] invitado, wait ...when you installed ubuntu you put in your username and password ....yes? [04:38] How do I enable ubuntu to accept remote connections? [04:38] I am in another account, as a guest. In this account, everything is alittle bit smaller [04:38] hello I setup an ldap server and phpldapadmin and everything runs the way is expected but how can I change the server password? [04:38] i've already added bind [server ip] [04:38] in /etc/mysql/my.conf [04:38] In the account where i am root, everything is too big, and cant acces Xchat, or other stuff [04:38] invitado, ok and when you reboot and log in with the origianl user account....can you get onto the desktop? [04:38] cashar: the password to what server? [04:38] yes [04:39] coz_: tell me what to do there [04:39] noisewaterphd: ldap server [04:39] cashar: the server itself, the ldap server, the mysql server? [04:39] coz_: Do you want to see a log or something? [04:39] invitado, ok.... open a terminal ...type sudo nvidia-settings then click the "X Server Display Configuration" section...there you should she a graphic representation of your monitor [04:39] invitado, you can't login as root as it randomizes the pw on ubuntu in theory.. so what do you mean by that [04:40] does anyone know how to capture the output audio and input audio at the same time in ubuntu? [04:40] invitado, then click the "Resoluton" pull down and choose the resolution you want then click the "Save to X Configureation File" then reboot [04:40] dougb, you just warped my brain with that question [04:40] ? [04:40] noisewaterphd: the ldap server itself [04:40] It does not work [04:40] there a are only 2 optio [04:40] invitado, also click the "Apply" button before writing to x config to test if that is what you want [04:41] cashar: I think the ldap admin passwd is in /etc/ldap or something like that [04:41] invitado, what are the 2 options [04:41] fivetwentysix: they dont like ubuntu tweak but it has an option to turn on remote desktop as a single checkbox just to let you know [04:41] 620x and 320 x [04:41] say i'm talking to someone on skype, i can either record what i'm saying or i can record what they are saying through recordmydesktop and pulseaudio, but i want to record both sides of the conversation [04:41] cashar: but I haven't used ldap in ages, google.com probably knows [04:41] And when i choose that, everything getes TOO giant [04:41] invitado, ok 2 things...first open system/administration/hardware drivers [04:41] so.., is dwm on apt-get [04:41] invitado, see if the nvidia_current driver is the one installed [04:42] noisewaterphd: is giving me a lot of things but that, thanks though [04:42] You know what? you gave an idea! [04:42] systm, mm try sudo apt-get install dwm to test [04:42] systm, or open synaptic package manager ...hit "Search" type in dwm [04:42] Why dont i just downloaded from Ubuntu Software Center? [04:42] systm, do sudo apt-cache search dwm [04:42] invitado, I would check hardware drivers first [04:43] howdy [04:43] there is no administration [04:43] not even a .administration [04:44] If i go to my other account, i wont be able to "talk" to you anymore [04:44] ok, i did the minimal install.. with just xorg, whats the keyswitch to open a new xterm [04:44] this iRC is very hot [04:44] But ok, i ´ll go and see if i have the current drivers [04:45] invitado, account shouldn't matter... sorry im trying to catch up as to your issue so that i may be of assistance [04:45] brb going to term [04:45] Yes, driver is current [04:46] hey guys, im on 10.04.1 and i keep getting [5817:5817:86039833568:ERROR:chrome/browser/process_singleton_linux.cc(304)] Failed to extract pid from path: /home/gareth/.config/google-chrome/SingletonLock [04:46] when trying to run google-chrome.. this just started happening todaye [04:46] I thought you where talking about those foldres in the system [04:47] but yeah, i have the current driver [04:47] question: i downloaded the latest version of chromium and it came as a .zip file, i'm not sure what to do after I extracted it [04:47] and firefox give Bus Error and quits [04:47] scott_ino: do you know how to read a log? [04:47] evanthebeast: chromium is aviable in lucid repository [04:47] this is really weird. i restarted clamav and it complains that the virus db is timestamped in the future. So I run 'date' and sure enough I'm 7 hours behind current time. So I run ntpdate and then date again to check, and it's fixed. So I restart clamav again, but I get the same message. And now the crazy bit: running date again shows I'm 7 hours off again! I've done this a few times just to... [04:47] ...make sure I'm not nuts...but every time I restart clamav it runs my clock back 7 hours...anybody know what's going on? [04:47] it's version 5 though, and i have that, the latest version is 7 [04:47] If you tell me where it is you could read it and then do a diagnosis [04:47] do i need to update my repository? [04:47] ok.. so what were the choices for installing dwm [04:48] gartral: better try chromium, it's open source ;) [04:48] chromium is fast as shit btw [04:48] xangua: i cant install anything due to Bus Errors [04:48] gartral: try srware iron no install needed [04:48] Hello. I am trying to build tiemu, as it will not install properly in synaptic. It requires Qt >= 3.0.2, I have installed Qt4, however, the ./configure script still does not complete correctly. What might be wrong? [04:48] evanthebeast, what do you mean you downloaded a .zip file? you need to install that via apt, synaptic, etc.. [04:48] just extract and run the executable [04:48] evanthebeast: the latest development and unstable version is 7, if you want it just add the 'chromium daily build ppa' under your own risk [04:49] Emanon: what? [04:49] ... [04:49] ah ok, I just figured if they were on 7, 5 was a little out of date [04:49] invitado, can you refresh me as to "how you originially installed the driver, was it working before etc.." [04:49] i'll find the repository on their website i need to add [04:50] Well, its been like this for months, everytime i try to do something i do not know, well, the system mess up [04:50] gartral: iron is a security enhanced version of chromium from srware [04:50] evanthebeast, previously I used their PPA with success [04:50] doesnt send tracking info and such [04:50] how do I get rid of the download icon (don't know how it got there either)? it is next to wireless icon. [04:50] trying to install 10.04 server edition...keep getting ureadahead-other main process terminated with status 4...and then it hangs there [04:51] and it comes as a tar.gz if memory serves [04:51] just extract and run no installation needed [04:51] scott_ino: It is the built in audio, i was downloading this driver, or actually, just copy/paste from a website, installing ALSA and all of a sudden, the system restarted [04:51] scott_ino: so it's pretty stable? I would assume there has been a stable release between 5 and 7 and i'll go with that if this is pretty crash-prone [04:51] invitado, so which drivers did you have or try to install from the start? [04:51] scott_ino: IAnd when it restarted, the monitor resolution was too BIG, i cant' even fix it in the Nvidia x Server [04:52] and should you choose you can move it into a system directory like /usr/bin or something and link to it as the default browser, thats what i do [04:52] emanon well i cant op[en any browsers to get a link.. so could you help me fix whats wrong? [04:52] scott_ino: Some realtek drivers [04:52] using aptitude i get the following error "the following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2" I cant run aptitude update. please help. [04:52] at the risk of evangelizing its awesome [04:52] scott_ino: Do you know how to read a log? [04:52] left click brings up a download window and right click has one option "show downloads". I want it gone.... [04:52] sec let me scrol up to your original post [04:52] scott_ino: If you tell me how, i can show you my system log [04:52] trying to install 10.04 server edition...keep getting ureadahead-other main process terminated with status 4...and then it hangs there (post install) [04:52] when trying to run google-chrome.. this just started happening today [04:53] hey guys, im on 10.04.1 and i keep getting [5817:5817:86039833568:ERROR:chrome/browser/process_singleton_linux.cc(304)] Failed to extract pid from path: /home/gareth/.config/google-chrome/SingletonLock [04:53] evanthebeast, I'd stick with whatever version is in the usual ubuntu repos, not PPA but yes, it was normally ok [04:53] this is so annoying [04:53] invitado, i thought this was a graphics issue [04:53] not knowing stuff [04:53] was it not? [04:53] and firefox is throwing a wierd "Bus error" message [04:53] Well, yes, now it is [04:53] oh i just scrolled up hehe [04:53] scott_ino: So, do you know how to fix it? [04:54] is there a server specific chat room? [04:54] scott_ino: thanks for the help, I'll probably juts go with the PPA though since I was having trouble running extensions with 5. quick question: what is the best/most popular irc client on linux? [04:54] evanthebeast, xchat is what I use, there are others [04:54] using aptitude i get the following error "the following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2" I cant run aptitude update. please help. [04:54] and can you do a fresh install of chrome (like complete remove in synaptic and reinstall)? [04:54] I guess not [04:55] sorry forgot to address that to gartral [04:55] invitado, so your issue is your graphics driver... shouldn't have anything to do with other updates [04:55] Emanon: i cant change any packages, apt-get and synaptic are throwing the same cryptic "Bus error" message as firefox [04:55] scott_ino: Yes, graphic [04:55] also where should i go for general reading about how ubuntu/linux is set up? I literally just installed 2 days ago and have been customizing my system pretty much nonstop. I'm fairly computer competent but i would like to learn more [04:55] ok well we just went past my mediocre knowledge hope someone else knows how to help you [04:56] Hello. I am trying to build tiemu, as it will not install properly in synaptic. It requires Qt >= 3.0.2, I have installed Qt4, however, the ./configure script still does not complete correctly. What might be wrong? [04:57] invitado, can you go system/administration/hardware drivers and tell me what you have in there regarding your nvidia drivers [04:57] evanthebeast, lots of reading on various google sites [04:57] evanthebeast: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual [04:57] thats what i've been doing, learning a lot by just trying to figure out whatever problems i have with configuring stuff [04:58] evanthebeast, and tinkering is a good way to learn obviously. Lots has changed in linux throughou the years in order to make things easier for most end users. But... I'd learn the various components first how it's organized etc... [04:58] thanks for the link emanon [04:58] any more specific sites to recommend? [04:59] np my google fu is moderate hehe [04:59] uh let me check [04:59] is it possible to mount an EXT4 partition on a linuxbox on a local network without NFS ? [04:59] scott_ino: I only have 2 choices 640x480 and 320x240 [04:59] just by mount ip:folder mountpoint ? [04:59] invitado, that's not the right area: System/administration/hardware drivers [05:00] cromag: sshfs [05:00] evanthebeast: http://www.linuxnewbieguide.org/ for non-ubuntu specific [05:01] scott_ino: Well, i have the current one [05:01] scott_ino: The recommended [05:01] G'nite all Thanks [05:02] very much appreciate it guys, seeya later [05:02] jkazana: thanks, i left important stuff out, is it possible with a ubuntu out of the box installation ? [05:02] invitado, which is what [05:02] rephreased question [05:02] scott_ino: It does not said [05:02] scott_ino: It just says that it has the current one [05:03] it should at least say what version give a number etc... [05:03] I have a program that requires KDE. How might I install KDE but not all the programs that go with it? [05:04] install the program and let it handle its own dependencies? [05:04] invitado, they may have changed it... i don't have nvidia anymore so give me one sec [05:04] R0b0t1, should be fine it will just get the libraries for you [05:05] scott_ino: Would you know what they are called? [05:05] I keep seeing these ones called "kdebase" and etc, but those include the programs. [05:05] R0b0t1, what app are you instaling [05:05] tiemu [05:05] is there a good alarm software for linux [05:05] just loud and annoying [05:05] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9041618/Nvidia.png [05:05] Can't be f'ed to mess with the configure script... the windowing system to use is not in the configure help. [05:06] And the package won't install to dependency problems. [05:06] :3 [05:06] scott_ino: can you read spanish? [05:06] R0b0t1, is there a reason why you can't install it via synaptic? [05:06] invitado, no sorry [05:06] :( [05:06] scott_ino: Yeah, it says something like "needs package X but won't install" [05:06] scott_ino: Well, you dont have to, have a look at the pic [05:06] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9041618/Nvidia.png [05:06] So I go >.> and just try to go build it. [05:06] invitado, k one sec [05:07] try enabling the extra repositories in the source manager then updating in synaptic [05:07] R0b0t1, what is the full error [05:07] then try the install again [05:07] invitado, ok I see... what graphics card do you have [05:08] Nvidia Quadro FX 580 [05:08] invitado, perhaps there's an issue with that drive and your card and i'll check and see [05:08] scott_ino: That _is_ the full error. It pops up in a dialog box. "Package tiemu cannot be installed: \n Requires package X but won't install ... [repeat 5]" [05:08] ubottu: #help [05:08] 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. :-) [05:08] freddy_dude: i think there is a time management program with an alarm in evolution (the mail/calandar app? [05:08] what software is ubottu using again? [05:08] invitado, did you just start having this problem? [05:08] scott_ino: You want which packaged specifically? [05:09] Honestly I think it'd be easier to just find out what the configure script's switch is or install KDE, but *shrug* [05:09] R0b0t1, what the error said when trying to install via synaptic or from apt-get [05:09] scott_ino: You see scott, the thing is, everything was workin fine, except when i copy pasted everythig from that webpage, i think it was some kind of badware [05:09] I was installing ALSA, from Gusty [05:09] Gusty version [05:10] Maybe it dowgraded? [05:10] !lts [05:10] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [05:10] i have 10.04 [05:10] invitado, are you using ubuntu 10.04 if so why would you install also from gusty [05:10] scott_ino: I used the GUI version. "tiemu: \n Depends: libticables3 but it is not going to be installed \n Depends libticalcs4 but it is not going to be installed \n Depends libtifiles0 but it is not going to be installed." [05:10] R0b0t1, k give me one sec [05:10] working lots of stuff here [05:11] Nah it's k [05:11] Well, here is the weird part. In 8.04, my eth0 works fine, in 10.04 etho does not detect my internet cable. and have no sound either [05:11] BUT!! [05:11] that was before the power surge problem [05:11] oh btw apt-get doesnt work over tor network any ideas why? [05:12] invitado, I just don't see how even changing alsa would affect your graphics [05:12] I mean.... after the problem, 10.04 did not detected my cable, nor my built in sound. [05:12] how do you register you name for xchat === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [05:12] cromag: [i just crashed/rebooted] re: sshfs just do a aptitude install sshfs to install [05:12] scott_ino: Well, it is a bug [05:12] scott_ino: Meh, installed the packages and it worked. [05:12] scott_ino: Second time [05:13] R0b0t1, yeah i mean if you did kde-base etc... or forced the rest of the packages coolness [05:13] scott_ino: BUT, i do not want to re install for the 27th time... i know there i s gotta be a fix [05:13] i just know [05:14] !why [05:14] invitado, have you tried removing the driver from hardware drivers, which would then use the open source NV driver [05:14] at least the your scren wouldn't be big [05:14] and you coul diagnose from there [05:16] * scott_ino must go now, bye all [05:16] ITSCOOTER http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup [05:16] I cant even change the driver [05:17] The apply button does not shows, i cant even resize it [05:17] I hope they fix this kind of bugs in 10.10 === root is now known as Guest17086 [05:17] They are really annoying [05:18] pointless.... [05:18] I am going to sleep [05:18] frobisher: and i type the command in xchat? [05:18] maybe i'll re install tomorrow [05:18] AGAIN [05:18] mailto:exzi@adsl-67-67-9-60.dsl.okcyok.swbell.net [05:18] ITSCOOTER google [05:19] Thanks for everything [05:19] good night [05:19] I SAID, GOOD-NIGHT! [05:19] ... [05:19] good night [05:19] :) [05:19] invitado : what's time now? [05:20] i got a question about terminal [05:20] there's a command i run a lot out of a certain folder [05:20] i have to type ./ in front of it anytime [05:20] beijing time [05:20] is there a way to make ubuntu know to look in that folder [05:20] glm, where are you from? [05:21] instead of having to type "./" everytime [05:21] ITSCOOTER it will give you instructions,and an e-mail.Then you type it in to x-chat [05:21] <|Sacred|> if you're looking to run a script alot/easily [05:21] <|Sacred|> put it in /bin folder [05:21] zhongguo [05:21] ~ name of this symbl [05:21] <|Sacred|> then you can just type scriptname [05:21] <|Sacred|> in terminal* [05:21] china [05:21] wo xi huan [05:21] dan86: yes. put the folder in your PATH env variable. check out .bashrc in your homr dir [05:22] jkazana can you help me out a little further. my apologies first week using ubuntu [05:22] i want to add.... === claptrap is now known as Guest13563 === Guest13563 is now known as Clappy [05:23] /home/dan/Downloads/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/adb [05:23] so i don't have to type ./adb [05:23] What is this partial upgrade I'm seeing? [05:23] <|Sacred|> just put adb in /bin directory [05:23] |Sacred|: that's not right. [05:23] <|Sacred|> then you can just use adb in terminal [05:23] <|Sacred|> ? [05:23] <|Sacred|> how so [05:23] |Sacred|: it's /usr/local/bin/ [05:23] <|Sacred|> weird, I put mine in /bin [05:23] |Sacred|: you're doing it wrong. [05:23] So, anyone here had any luck getting Mafia 2 running at a decent speed in WINE? [05:24] |Sacred|: because they can get removed. If you put them in the other folder they're not ever removed. [05:24] SpaceGhostC2C for my application would it be better to add a path [05:24] or copy the file into /usr/local/bin [05:24] dan86: what's the logic? [05:24] <|Sacred|> ahh ok, good to know...never had an issue [05:24] |Sacred|: It's just future proofing. [05:24] i don't want to have to type "./adb" rather simply adb [05:24] dan86: it's prob easier for you to just do what someone else said and put it in /usr/local/bin [05:24] <|Sacred|> understood [05:24] dan86: try using a symlink. [05:24] SpaceGhostC2C first week on ubuntu =/ [05:24] no comprende symlink [05:25] but i'm willing to learn =) [05:25] how to trace an ip address [05:25] dan86: It's done that way delibertately, so you don't inadvertently execute the wrong executable. That said, there is a way.... [05:25] dan86: sudo ln -s ~/Downloads/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/adb /usr/local/bin [05:25] ? [05:25] !cn | Administrator__ [05:25] Administrator__: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:25] dan86: a symlink is like a shortcut of sorts. If you don't mind learning from man pages try man ln, or info ln [05:26] thanks SpaceGhostC2C to google instant search i go! [05:26] dan86: i have a blog post on it [05:26] dan86: maco does! [05:26] I JUST CAN'T GIVE UP!! [05:26] dan86: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2009/11/links.html [05:27] maco: where can I find your blog? [05:27] come on guys, i know you know how!! [05:27] thank you maco [05:27] hey - for adb with no ./ try export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/android-sdk/tools [05:27] Badger32d: I'd op for the symlink usually. [05:27] ? [05:28] Does anyone know if there is any software that i can add subtitles to a video but not as a file ?? [05:28] is there a way to RESET Ubuntu? [05:28] maco: Do you know anything about any new updates? I got a silly "Needs to partial upgrade" thing. :( [05:28] Licuadora: in what sense? [05:28] SpaceGhostC2C: im not on lucid, but usually that means something is half-built and if you wait til tomorrow itll be done [05:29] maco: Oh, okay. Thanks. I was wondering. [05:29] Anyone know anything about video editing? [05:29] SpaceGhostC2C: Well, my monitor resolution got too BIG, when i restarted it was like that, i cant even change it in the "nvidia x server settings"! [05:29] I have the current driver [05:30] Licuadora: too big as in the resolution was too low? 600x800 or too high like 1280x1024? [05:30] It was when i was doing some copy/paste from a website, tryin to install ALSA, (Gusty version) even though i have 10.04 [05:30] samuel2010: have a look at avidemux first. If that won't do it for you, you'll need to check out transcode, mencoder or ffmpeg. These last 3 are pigs... [05:30] Anyone have a lucid/maverick-style mono icon for xchat? [05:31] Licuadora: Try making a backup of your xorg configureation like this: sudo mv /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf /etc/Xorg/xorg.backup [05:31] Loshki, will they put subtitles on the video file? so that i dont need to open the subtiles file? if u know what i mean? [05:31] Licuadora: why were you trying to use ALSA? Does Pulse not work? [05:31] http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup [05:31] SpaceGhostC2C: tOO BIg like everything is too big, i do not know about resolutions, i have only 2 options in the settings, 620x480 and 320x280 [05:32] Licuadora: yikes! [05:32] !resolution | Licuadora [05:32] Licuadora: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [05:32] Licuadora: you need a higher resolution. something with 4 digits on each side of the x [05:32] any body help me to trace ip address [05:32] Licuadora: remove the driver or increase resolution size. [05:33] neobos: what do you want to accomplish? [05:33] samuel2010: yes, you are talking about hard-coded subtitles, i.e. subs that are burnt into the video instead of being kept in a separate file. People avoid hard-coded subtitles because they can't be turned off. [05:34] Loshki, i know but i want them on the video. i want them hard-coded ones. [05:34] samuel2010: do you plan to burn the result to a dvd so that it plays on a dvd player? [05:35] Loshki, no . its a karaoke file. [05:35] maco: I did what you said, and it didnt worked [05:35] Loshki, a karaoke song hehe [05:35] Licuadora: did you try mine? [05:35] No [05:35] The system restarted [05:35] Loshki, so it needs to be on the video otherwise its pointless. [05:35] Licuadora: scroll up and try it, then restart and see if it helps. [05:35] Licuadora: try to set the resolution after rebooting too. [05:36] I am looking for someone to help me with a problem in iptables. I am running ubuntu 8.1 with iptables. I am tring to block an ip address inside my network from reaching the outside world. Ubuntu 8.10 is what I am using as my router. the modem plugges into eth0 and the rest of my network plugs into eht1 or eth4 depending on what it is but I need to block an ip address from reaching the outside world at all. [05:36] samuel2010: so what format will the finak karaoke be in? What are you going to play it on? [05:36] I have tried iptables -A INPUT -s IP-ADDRESS -j DROP with no results as well as iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:0F:EA:91:04:08 -j DROP with no luck with either. [05:36] samuel2010: finak -> final [05:36] Loshki, on youtube and youku final format is gonna be AVI [05:36] SpaceGhostC2C: I cant increase resolution, since i only have to options, and they are too small, or too big [05:37] Licuadora: you already backed up your xorg and rebooted to have a new one generated and then tried to set the resolution? [05:37] Licuadora: is this on some other machine, because I didn't notice you disconnect or go /away :( [05:37] No I have not backed up anything, but, Why back up something it is messed up? [05:38] SpaceGhostC2C: let me downgrade the driver and see whats gonna happen === disturbe1mime is now known as disturbedmime [05:39] Licuadora: it's all up to you. Let me know if you'd like help with any of my approaches. I hope it works out well. :) [05:39] alright, weird problem here with man pages... [05:39] Badger32d: like? [05:39] when I run man women - I get a segmentation fault.... [05:39] ;) [05:39] ah ha. [05:41] Loshki, any ideas? [05:42] samuel2010: I'm running avidemux now for you to see if it will work. Do you already have some video, or do you just have music (mp3?) and lyrics (text?) [05:42] samuel2010: sounds like something that should be done in a video editor software (F**al C*t P*r) and render the titles right in. I know it's not using linux but i don't edit movies in Ubuntu [05:42] Badger32d: Along the same lines, I'm pleasantly surprised to see that man make cookie works, although unexpectedly. :) [05:43] i have the video and i have the lyrics they are already set out in gnome subtitle editor. Loshki [05:43] jkazana: you don't need to obfuscate Final Cut Pro. [05:43] jkazana, i dont have windows. im 100% ubuntu [05:43] jkazana, Gloat~ haha [05:43] My 10.04 UNR boots to a CLI. startx and sudo service gdm start does not help. How do I make the OS use failsafe Vesa driver? [05:43] samuel2010: what are you trying? [05:43] Without windows, how does one get cool air into the house? ;) [05:43] ahh, so it does spaceghost, so it does [05:43] wilmer: in your xorg.conf. [05:44] Badger32d: It gave me hope for mankind. *rimshot* [05:44] SpaceGhostC2C, I dont have one in /etc/X11 [05:44] hey that's my name [05:44] gcd: by opening the doors. [05:44] SpaceGhostC2C, can I make the changes in the .failsafe version? [05:44] SpaceGhostC2C, trying to hard-code (burn) lyrics onto a video for a karaoke song. but so far they will only go on as subtitles. but i want them to be apart of the actual video itself. what software does this? [05:44] spaceghost_: mine too! [05:45] so I guess I did not ask the right question ir am not in the right room tonight. Have to just love IRC. [05:45] samuel2010: either video software or maybe a cli tool? [05:45] This is ridiculos [05:45] It did int worked!! [05:45] ubottu: tell collimic about patience [05:45] collimic, please see my private message [05:45] CAN someone here read a log?! [05:45] SpaceGhostC2C, but what software there is so much available i dont know what ones do what!!! hahaha i never did this before. [05:45] Licuadora: pastebin. And try to be nicer, we're all volunteers. [05:46] samuel2010: Final Cut Pro is Mac OS. [05:46] jkazana: no, really?.... [05:46] Is there an expert volenteer here? [05:46] jkazana, i dont use mac os on my macbook like i said its 100% ubuntu. [05:46] Licuadora: not really, no. [05:46] DAMN!! [05:46] jkazana, and i have no intention using mac or windows. [05:46] SpaceGhostC2C, +1 [05:46] seidos: for? [05:46] Licuadora: we're all experts in one way or antoher [05:47] Izinucs: Nice philosophical tidbit for the evening. [05:47] SpaceGhostC2C, "not really, no" [05:47] No problem I just have a bad habit of getting into the wrong room and this IRC has just never been for me but this is where all the great help hangs out. Just wish I new more and could help more. [05:47] anyone know how to make evolution stay up in the communications drop down in the system tray like pidgin gwibbler and empathy do? [05:47] collimic, you and me both === The_Thing is now known as Allstate [05:47] OMG, I NEED UR HELPS NAO! mah kittehz have chewed up my ethernets! what do I doo!?

[05:48] SpaceGhostc2c; trying to learn remote system connection [05:48] nooooo! === StateFarm is now known as RudyV [05:48] :D === RudyV is now known as RudyValencia [05:48] Badger32d: they have a howto at icanhascheesburger === Allstate is now known as The_Thing [05:48] neobos: and den? [05:48] Badger32d: switch to interwebs [05:48] samuel2010: how does that even make sense? [05:48] oh, all this time I've been using a series of tubes. must be old school or something [05:48] yea the new interwebz 2.0 works better [05:49] SpaceGhostC2C, how does what even make sense? [05:49] SpaceGhost;and then what i said i want to learn remote system [05:49] Does anybody know if the 'Mobile Mouse 4000' from microsoft will work in linux? [05:49] collimic: that's easy all you have to do is learn more. [05:49] samuel2010: how does that even make sense? [05:49] patogen: plug it in and try? [05:49] i would imagine so patogen [05:49] in document viewer, can i bookmark? [05:49] SpaceGhostC2C, again, how does what even make sense????? i dont know what ur talking about [05:49] SpaceGhostC2C: I haven't bought it yet, I don't want to buy if it doesn't work [05:50] if it has extra buttons it might be a lil hit or miss as to whether they work [05:50] patogen: search here: http://appdb.winehq.org/ [05:50] ubuntu 10.04 [05:50] patogen: google the product name with the word Ubuntu on the end. [05:50] Emanon: I would figure it should work, but I'm not sure [05:50] i know my dinovo edge keyboard has a few of the special keys that dont work [05:50] SpaceGhostC2C: Have tried that, failed to work [05:50] like the hotkeys [05:50] but all the main stuff works [05:50] thats generally been my experience with periphreals [05:50] patogen: then maybe it's just not tested. If you can return it if it doesnt' work or sell it, then get it. Your choice. [05:50] the regular stuff almost always works but the added functions are hit or miss [05:51] Usually. [05:51] everything i have ever plugged into ubuntu works. i never had any problems with anything. [05:51] just my exp but logitech stuff seems to be a lil better about not openly opposing systems they dont openly support [05:51] cirque works well, just they don't build quality merchandise [05:52] Badger32d: Ok it didnt worked.... === Blue1away is now known as Blue1 [05:52] AH [05:52] well im not thrilled how 10.04 handles bluetooth keyboards (i have to sync it occasionally with a wireless mouse) but otherwise i have been pretty lucky with periphreal devices too [05:52] samuel2010: are you still there? [05:52] Loshki, yeah [05:52] Loshki, im here [05:53] samuel2010: I just opened a video file in avidemux and added hard-coded subs to it. Wanna try it yourself? [05:53] avidemux? [05:53] ok [05:53] Emanon: I'm not into wireless keyboards. Mice are different, but if you're willing to try them, go for it. [05:53] btw i recommend ubuntu to all my customers who dont have hardware or software that explicitly excludes using ubuntu yet hehe [05:54] yea my keyboard is bluetooth [05:54] Loshki, hehe do i need to re do the subtitles again or can i just use the subtitle file do u know??? [05:54] and when i switch over to the live disk for porn i have to resync it [05:54] samuel2010: what format is the subtitle file in (srt format is the easiest) [05:54] emanon ~ please.... this is a family room!!

[05:55] ok "when i switch os's for various reasons i have to resync the keyboard for ubuntu" [05:55] Can someone help me? I need to modify a file in a .deb package [05:55] spaceghost_: for starters your conversation with Emanon [05:55] Emanon: hm,file a bug report if you'd like. [05:55] SpaceGhostC2C: ^^ [05:56] IdleOne: it's about ubuntu bro. [05:56] SpaceGhostC2C: i hope that's not taken for 'ubuntu is freedom' [05:56] IdleOne: like directly. [05:56] ridin: I don't even know what you're talking about, sorry. [05:56] I can only open this file as read only [05:56] even after changing permissions [05:57] u try opening it as root? [05:57] FalseLobster: which file and what are the permissions on it? Have you tried editing as root? [05:57] Emanon: try taking the extra two keystrokes to spell 'you' please. [05:57] Can anyone take a look at my problem? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3673878/my-rails-3-site-wont-start-on-ubuntu-apache2-passenger [05:57] Loshki, how did u add them on? [05:57] samuel2010: interesting, I've never even seen an R-to-L subtitle file before. I have no idea if it'll work, but we can try it... [05:57] SpaceGhostC2C: Emanon, inappropriate images, 'ubuntu is freedom', it's a bad joke [05:57] Loshki, ok. where did u go to add the subs? [05:57] i wouldnt even spell your names right if not for autocomplete [05:58] I need to make the OS use failsafe Vesa driver. Can I do this in xorg.conf.failsafe or do I need to generate/create/copy xorg.conf. If so how? I do not have one by default. [05:58] samuel2010: start avidemux and open the video file... [05:58] hey poeple.. i need help with samba on my ubuntu machine. is this the right place or do i need to go to the samba room ?? please let me know... thanks in advance [05:58] Loshki, ok [05:58] what help t3cki3 [05:58] hey guys quick question [05:58] i just implemented raid on my controller [05:58] !ask [05:58] 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. :-) [05:58] raid 1 [05:59] k [05:59] samuel2010: now configure the video section. Choose the first choice i.e. mpeg4-asp (lavc) then hit 'filters' [05:59] and both hdds are showing up [05:59] is there some other device im looking for under dmesg [05:59] try forming the raid with the partition manager instead of the built in bios tool [05:59] @Emanon: M using SWAT to share samba on my ubuntu, so i have to set it up, but can't seem to figure it out [05:59] t3cki3: maybe if you asked your question then we'd have enough information to tell you, otherwise try the actual channel. [05:59] and the first raid device should be md0 [05:59] how do I boot into single user mode on a Lucid VirtualBox machine? [06:00] t3cki3: what is SWAT and M? [06:00] thats using sw raid [06:00] and i really didnt want to do sw [06:00] samba web adminstration tool [06:00] Emanon: oh hm. [06:00] @SpaceGhostC2C: m = i'm ..hehe [06:01] Loshki, ok . [06:01] t3cki3: oh. You'd do yourself a favor to spend the extra two keystrokes to finish the word in English. :) [06:01] SWAT = Samba web administration tool [06:01] Loshki, sorry took a while to find what u said haha [06:01] Loshki, then vob subs? [06:02] @SpaceGhostC2C: my bad... can any one help... ??? or guide me to the correct direction... appreciate it [06:02] samuel2010: no, bottom entry: Subtitler (add srt/sub subtitles to the picture) then hit configure [06:02] t3cki3: I don't know the tool you're referring to, I'm sorry. [06:02] i know of it but dont have much exp with it [06:02] samuel2010: sorry, I'm slow tonight too... [06:03] @SpaceGhostC2C: what about samba in general... [06:03] t3cki3: yeah. But then again, I don't think I've seen your question about samba, just about the administration tool. [06:03] @Emanon: thanks for the help.. appreciate it... [06:03] Loshki, ok [06:04] t3cki3: you know, if you highlight us you don't need the @, right? [06:04] samuel2010: oops: Subtitler (add srt/sub subtitles to the picture) then SELECT SUBTITLER IN LEFT HAND PANEL *THEN* hit configure [06:04] :) [06:04] Loshki, i hit configure put the file in the language and so on [06:04] though i do know you can do like forced sharing using the normal network folder if you know username and pw for the target box [06:04] Emanon: is there a chance it would be sg1 [06:04] ? [06:04] @SpaceGhostC2C: i'm trying to setup samba on ubuntu 10.04 with multiple users and multi folders [06:04] Loshki, yep done [06:04] you know what [06:04] time to tias [06:04] samuel2010: did you set the encoding for hebrew etc... [06:05] Loshki, yeah [06:05] So running nautilus as root doesn't automatically open files with root permissions... ? [06:05] samuel2010: ok, go back to main panel, choose save, and save to a suitable filename e.g. test1.avi [06:05] FalseLobster: are you going to say what you're trying to accomplish so we can help you, or are you just curious?

[06:25] if you try to open it in file roller from a root nautilus it should force file roller to be root too [06:25] Emanon: yea yea. That opens nautilus as root, but opening hte archive doesn't open it in root [06:25] it's still read only [06:25] idk then but it just wants to f you [06:26] maco, Emanon: thank you so much, I'll be sure to do that :) [06:26] Hi all [06:26] np real1adam [06:27] ok, so I just upgraded to 10.10, only thing installed other then stock is irssi, Xorg, and dwm. For some reason, X will no longer start, any suggestions from succesful upgraders === Guest74755 is now known as viki [06:27] u said you gave root read write permissions on the file FalseLobster? [06:27] !maverick systm [06:27] ahh that doesnt work? [06:27] geh [06:27] any vpn gurus in the room tonite? [06:27] Emanon: yes [06:27] !10.10 [06:27] 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 [06:28] thanks Emanon [06:28] there you go sytm go to #ubuntu+1 [06:28] np [06:28] then idk FalseLobster sorry i couldnt help [06:28] maybe try a less polite live disk like backtrack that doesnt respect file permissions very much [06:29] and BT4 is debian based so it should be cool with .debs [06:29] does anyone know of a good irc channel for vpn support? [06:29] #vpn maybe? [06:30] or #openvpn [06:30] try channels with names that sound like what you want [06:30] i tried openvpn earlier, but kept having problems getting in, very strange, but will try again. [06:31] invurse: I got in just fine just now [06:32] Looking for help trying to get an install of 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 installed. [06:32] I was running 32-bit, but it only booted about half the time, so I tried re-installing with 64-bit. [06:33] and i am looking to get a tools in ubuntu which will convert EXE file to JPEG [06:34] Tim_ if you use the desktop it should be the same as installing 32 bit [06:34] the desktop install disk i mean [06:34] But it keeps locking up at 3.755576 usb 2-1.1.1 configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice. [06:34] Meta-007: that's a very odd thing to do. Why do you think you need to do that? [06:34] Does anyone know how to create a .rpm file ? [06:34] Yeah, I'm running the desktop install disk. [06:34] It's a relatively new laptop, and has a USB 3.0 port that I'm suspecting is causing problems. [06:35] Loshki, I do not know why but some friend doing this [06:35] does it have any 2.0's? [06:35] oh are u installing from usb stick? [06:35] I have a web that's 2.0 [06:35] Loshki, I need to know what tools they are using to do this in Ubuntu [06:36] howdy [06:36] Meta-007: are you talking about things like the dangerkitteh toolset? [06:36] Emanon: Yeah, USB 2.0 x2 and USB 3.0 x1. No I'm installing from a CD. I'm just suspecting the USB3 port. [06:36] it might be the disk if you have a usb stick try installing from that (use unetbootin) its way faster [06:36] Emanon, Dangerktteh? [06:36] and easier on the stash of rw's [06:37] Hi. How can I add a param initrd=/boot/DSDT.aml to grub? Thanks. [06:37] Meta-007: sorry, I don't even know what it would mean to convert an EXE to a JPEG, unless you were trying to get some browser to execute it by mistake. Are there browsers that stupid? [06:37] troll toolkit from /b/ [06:37] What are we even talking about? [06:37] well that or hes trying to get msn to allow him to send an exe to a friend [06:37] hey, i have a question about aircrack but that channel appears to be dead, anyone have experience with it? [06:37] True. Though I don't htink the install medium is the problem, 32-bit booted inconsistently, so I'm thinking it's a hardware conflict, but the install doesn't chuck any wobblies so to speak. [06:38] Emanon: have whoever you're talking to pack it up in a tarball. [06:38] if you try to send an exe over msn the reciever (if they are on windows) will be forced to scan it [06:38] even in an archive sometimes [06:38] but it doesnt usuall scan jpegs if memory serves [06:38] either that or hes just a blackhat in training oh well [06:39] Is this related to Ubuntu at all? [06:39] idk there may be some other reason to do it [06:40] vpn anyone? [06:40] So if a fresh install hangs, my only option is to re-install? [06:40] who here considers themselves the ubuntu expert? [06:40] Loshki, I am using Ubuntu and WINdows . My friend also using Ubuntu . They are sending me JPEG . But if i open the jpeg file then it execute as a software [06:40] i think so Tim_ [06:40] Rats. [06:41] im connected to the internet via eth0. is there a way to enable wlan0 to act as an access point and bridge it to eth0, so that other clients can use the access point (wlan0) to connect to the internet? ubuntu 9.10, network-manager, nm-applet [06:41] Loshki, I was asked them that how they are doing this but they said there are tools in Ubuntu [06:41] might try metasploit they might have stuff like that [06:42] #metasploit [06:42] just installed roundcube on ubuntu 10.04 an uncommented the aliases, but now going to the URL gets me "Can't connect to database" ...I can get to the db manually using the credentials in /etc/dbconfig-common/roundcube.conf ...anybody know what I'm messing up?

I want to resume tomorrow with all the same folders, browser tabs, and programs opened exactly how they are open right now. [10:03] good morning [10:04] well, i'm trying the intel x86 version, bet that'll work. [10:04] When I shut my Lynx box down, all it does is reboot, to the login screen, in a different screen resolution and in a different place on the monitor. I've had to fiddle with the physical monitor settings to make it usable. Help? [10:04] JohnnyL: garbled screen == graphics card issue. [10:04] JohnnyL: The install CD tells you right at the very beginning that it can't run on your processor if it can't. [10:06] with */15 * * * * make my cronjob run every 15mins?

[10:08] gnome-help is either trashing or hogging system resources, like in an infinite loop (karmic). I don't know what's wrong with this product but it's always been like this, unusable, yet constantly shipped for years. What to do? I need to read some docs. [10:09] Shinydan, as i have no buttons i cant help [10:09] can XChat traffic be routed through tor? [10:09] Yo guyz wassap??? [10:09] Shinydan: seems that your shutdown button is going to the wrong runlevel so ... tell him do ini 0 ;) [10:10] yesterday i asked of this very nice and tiny and cheap system ( http://www.informatique.nl/127987/asrock-nettop-ion-330-pro-barebone-zwart.html ) is supported by ubuntu and it is supported, found this topic: http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/hardware-en-drivers/asrock-nettop-ion-330/ [10:11] CaveMan, why are you cave man ?

[10:34] ok thanks erUSUL i just check it [10:34] tinux: . is current folder. and .. is parent folder [10:36] yes, I know this. but when I check the size of the folder alone it shows 146 M === adzy964 is now known as Adonis === Adonis is now known as MindGrenade [10:37] tinux: which matchs the value for . and .. so i say is correct [10:38] hi [10:38] yep, got it. It was .Trash [10:38] lol [10:38] Hello guys! Is there a solution about my Nautilus shows dublicate Drives ? Shows them each mounted drive 2 times, 1 entry works and the other one doesnt. Got any ideas ? :) [10:38] Hi all,. Just wondering if anyone can help me with what partitions to make for dual boot windows/ubuntu??? [10:38] is it possible to convert a 64bit ubuntu installation to 32bits? [10:39] Thats for the drives mounted via /etc/fstab by the way (HDDs with NTFS partition) [10:39] zemanel, i think thats not possibe ;/ [10:40] whats best partitions to use for dual boot with shared partion??? do i make them all NTFS? [10:40] zemanel, i dont think so too [10:40] thanks guyz. viva ubuntu!! [10:41] MindGrenade, are you talking about sharing files between ubuntu and windows? if so u will be able easy access win files from ubuntu [10:41] no matter ntfs or fat [10:41] yea [10:42] i was reading a forum post but was a couple years old... it said to make them all NTFS [10:42] so can load the share partition thru both OS [10:42] MindGrenade, u dont need any extra partition just boot ubuntu go to places computer and your windows files [10:43] MindGrenade, what do you exactly mean by "shared partition" like installing Ubuntu on NTFS too? [10:43] im gonna have seperate partion for windows/ubuntu/share drive so if i need to format or change os on a drive it doesnt effect the share drive... *share drive is where ill save all my files so i can open with either os [10:43] filipek: in the olden days people used to make a third partition, so they'd have one for Windows, one for Linux and the thrid one was a space to put files to be shared between the two === mike is now known as Guest41503 [10:44] so if windows dies (which it does) ill just format and re-install and it wont clear my shared files partition [10:44] so do i make all 3 partition NTFS? [10:45] Could someone help with usb printer problem? (Epson Stylus DX7400) [10:45] I woudln't put Ubuntu on NTFS. [10:45] Vroomfondle, ok thanks - I didn't know that :-) I came to Ubuntu apparently after that point in time :-) [10:45] Have an Ext4 one for Ubuntu [10:46] and what about windows? and Shared Data Patitions?? NTFS? are they all compatible to sharing files? [10:46] MindGrenade, if your windows die u and u will install it again windows will rewrite grub it mean u wont be able access ubuntu and u will have to make grub work again [10:46] apt-get issure/error: E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) [10:47] Does anyone know why 10.04 does not find usb printer? Usb-port/cable/printer aint broken. [10:48] what's the default password for root? [10:49] so will i have conflict if i use ext4 for ubuntu and NTFS for Windows & shared Partition? and will they all read ? [10:50] will ext4 read NTFS drive correctly? [10:50] !root | JohnnyL [10:50] JohnnyL: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:50] right [10:50] there is no root password. [10:51] how do i uninstall vmware? i look in synaptic and its not there. [10:54] teage did you install it from synaptic ? or you got it from vmware web? [10:57] Does anyone have any idea why 10.04 does not find usb-printer? Usb-port/cable/printer are ok. [10:58] is anyone aware of Ubuntu being less efficient at running html5 video, (ogv) in firefox or any other program ?

[11:16] timmillwood: which external service were you planning on using? [11:16] sipior: the best. ;) [11:17] sipior: currently using s3 and s3sync although doesn't seem 100% reliable, and hard to monitor. [11:17] timmillwood: depending on your storage needs, something like ubuntu one or dropbox might do. i can highly recommend the latter, but have not yet tried the former. [11:18] Hi. I want a book on g++. [11:18] Can anyone help me ? [11:18] sipior: we have over 100gb of stuff to backup from an internal NAS, currently uploading the s3 via in house server.

Having trouble recognzing the xp parition. I tried sudo fdisk -l to no avail. [11:21] steve_: smbd if I recall correctly [11:22] JohnnyL: well you can't get at the host partition like that. Try the vmware channel for tips on how to share files between host and guest [11:23] smbd is running process 706 [11:23] timmillwood: you might try something like rackspace's managed backups. the folks in #ubuntu-server will probably have better recommendations for you in that regard. [11:23] still nothing shown in my windows network folder [11:23] sipior: thanks [11:24] it was working at home, but now i am at work i cannot see anything [11:24] jrdnyquist ok thanks.

[11:38] can anyone tell me the difference between samba and samba4 [11:39] rizzuh: seems like you need xargs or a bash for loop for the kind of thing you are doing [11:39] steve_: "samba" installs samba 3, "samba4" installs samba 4. There's a separate package for the latter because it isn't yet stable. [11:39] magnetron: well I'm not that great at bash scripting xD [11:40] rizzuh: i just google the stuff i want to do and steal their code :D [11:40] magnetron: google is kinda inconclusive on this one [11:40] this samba stuff is doing my head in lol [11:40] hi [11:40] someone know how to use vmware open client on Ubuntu? [11:41] steve_: you you know that you need to reload the samba config before you start using it? [11:42] sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [11:42] is that correct [11:42] as when i use that command i get the reply command not found [11:42] Does anyone know how to fix a crackly microphone? [11:42] how does one change directories to root in ubuntu? [11:43] Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 64 on my laptop, and am having a hard time with it. I extracted the iso to USB Flash Drive, I can boot from it, choose the start from usb or install options, but both display corrupted visual on my monitor. [11:43] I have a ssh public keygen i want to get from there. [11:43] eitama_: thats what I got too. [11:43] eitama_: i feel it's because I own an intel, not an amd. [11:43] JohnnyL: purple and gray stripes all over the screen? [11:43] eitama_ x86 works though. [11:43] vertically? [11:44] eitama_: yup [11:44] eitama_: nvdia drivers? [11:44] but i have windows 7 64 running perfect [11:44] yes [11:44] nvidia [11:44] rizzuh: you can use xargs then [11:44] i'll bet thats why. [11:44] not sure [11:44] !enter [11:44] on my windows atleast [11:44] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:44] so how can I change directories to /root ? [11:44] hi all, im running xbmc and it has a stand alone version that runs only xbmc i.e no desktop or anything just the app. This is done through selecting xbmc sesion on the login screen, now im wondering how to add other apps to also run such as mythserver and open ssh so i can control the box remotely [11:45] Ahhh, this is frustrating. Why won't I get to use 64... [11:45] Thanks for the info [11:45] i [11:45] i [11:45] eitama_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:45] i'll go poke google some more. Cheers [11:46] eitma_: could you explain bravely your problem ? [11:46] in relation to my last post I think i can just edit a file that opens processes how do I find the process names of Open SSH, mythbackend and frontend and mythweb === Frankie_Rodrique is now known as Onki [11:48] xbmcNoob: select a GNOME session at login, run synaptic and install the packages you need using synaptic. "ssh" etc. [11:48] thanks magnetron [11:48] I'm sorry, but why after update ubuntu do 10.10 . The Enter in OS me 2 bout need enter login and password ? [11:49] magentron, i want to use the xbmc session because its a htpc but I need just the other services and they are installed [11:49] vizlim: 10.10 is not released yet, they are working on a beta though. please go to #ubuntu+1 for discussion [11:49] xbmcNoob: well i thought you were asking how to install them [11:49] Using 10.04, I accidentally removed the "Turn off system" button from the panel. When I click "add to panel", I don't see it in the list of icons.. anyone have any idea? right now i have no way of turning off the machine except using the terminal. [11:49] xbmcNoob: The openssh server is started/stopped with an init file located in /etc/init.d/ directory. You might find init scripts for the other things you mentioned as well. [11:50] magnetron, thanks heaps anywauy [11:50] rob_p, thanks ill give that ago [11:50] Thanks magnetron [11:50] xbmcNoob: If you installed openssh-server package, it should already be configured to start on boot. [11:51] rob_p, yes but not in xbmc session, however, your suggestion seems to be bang on [11:51] jtcc: it's called something similar to "user switcher" [11:51] xbmcNoob: If you haven't yet installed it, a simple, "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" will get installed and running. [11:52] hi [11:52] rob_p, how would i start ssh via terminal, just so i get an idea of how to edit the script right [11:52] 大家好 [11:52] rob_p, saves a lot of trial and error =) [11:52] xbmcNoob: You would type, "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start" [11:53] jtcc: it's "Indictator Applet Session" [11:53] free' jtcc, "Log Out..." "Shut Down..." [11:53] im having issues with a weird flickry monitor after installing ubuntu, portion of the TV used is very small and the login window is just bouncing left to right... where do I start putting this right? [11:53] rob_p, if that works you just finished my HTPC. Thankyou very much... extreme happy face =) ++++ [11:53] xbmcNoob: welcome [11:54] estragib: thx! [11:55] jtcc: welcome [11:55] rob_p, would "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start" & start it as a backround process [11:56] rob_p, or leave out & [11:57] don't worry [11:57] ssh is a script that starts other binaries [11:57] you don't need &* [11:57] s/&\*/&/g [11:58] kevr, ok but for things like mythweb and mythtv backend [11:58] if they provided an init.d script.. [11:58] kevr, its for multiple things you see [11:58] it shouldn't. [11:58] kevr, ok so kevr init.d is like equivlent of windows services? [11:59] kinda? [11:59] i suppose. [11:59] not really. [11:59] hmm thx [11:59] let me explain [11:59] please [11:59] type... [11:59] cat /etc/init.d/ssh [11:59] itll show you the contents [11:59] its simple a script. [11:59] kevr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:59] of bash shell [11:59] sorry bot. [12:00] no such file or dir [12:00] anyway, that script just executes a binary and runs it in the background, a binary that usually forks itself to the background as a process. [12:00] i believe it's /etc/init.d/sshd, if you have it installed. [12:00] was going off what you typed :P [12:01] watching a show about australian aboriginal life, they are eating some mangrove worms. i hear it's a tasty snack [12:01] how do i grep more than one thing, e.g. top|grep 2 things [12:01] ok that made enough sence any way. [12:01] just do another pipe, wert [12:01] well [12:01] oops. [12:01] actually.. [12:01] kevr, thanks heaps [12:01] np [12:01] wert, actually, i want to find out now - lol [12:01] hmm [12:01] #unbuntu.fr [12:05] wertwert [12:05] salut [12:05] kevr, isnt working [12:05] grep -e oneword -e twoword [12:06] one sec === me is now known as Guest33724 === Guest33724 is now known as soundNICK [12:08] "No hyphenations patterns were loaded"... in kile, what do I do? [12:08] kevr, worked thx [12:10] sigh, aptitude install samba -- fails. === thegrundo is now known as grundo[afk] [12:12] I'm having trouble with empathy. It won't let me connect to anything. it tells me network error. I have a feeling it's related to the same reason I can't use firefox without taking it offline mode because ubuntu doesn't really support dialup === grundo[afk] is now known as thegrundo [12:13] it was working earlier, and you can see for yourself that I have an internet connection [12:13] so why doesn't it let me connect to yahoo or icq or anything [12:13] i am running Ubuntu 10.04 and i am having some issues with windows networks. I could not see any windows computers on my ubuntu machine but i have re-installed SAMBA and i can now see the windows machines on my network but i cannot log into the shares, when i enter the user name and password they are rejected can someone help. Thanks [12:14] yeah, now it says there is no network connection [12:14] what is this lame crap? ;P [12:15] lame crap is linux [12:15] ok so how do I make empathy see that I have a network connection? [12:15] restart [12:16] :) [12:16] I already tried restarting empathy [12:18] ariqz: Try Pidgin for that. Gnome have yet to perfect Empathy. It's still relatively new. [12:21] someone say something so quiet here today [12:22] something :) [12:25] I want to count the number of lines form the output of clamscan, but I want to update it as it happens so that I can update a progress bar. How can I do this? [12:26] stapel, use "nl" [12:26] stapel, something like "clamscan | nl" [12:26] I've just run the command sudo ddcprobe to get info on my monitor - what do I do with this now to get my xorg.conf working with my monitor? [12:27] glebihan: I learned about nl today. :) stapel, you can use "wc -l" instead of nl if you just want a number. [12:28] glebihan: thanx, I did not know about nl === zero is now known as Guest62841 [12:28] glebihan: yes I was thinking about using wc -l === Guest62841 is now known as zero_ [12:28] stapel, it would work too, depends on how you want to use the data [12:28] /quit [12:28] /quit [12:29] > "kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) " after update 8.04 to 10 in my virtual mashine [12:29] > "kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) " after update 8.04 to 10 in my virtual mashine [12:29] Hi guys - I have to set default umask for an Apache 2.2 with DAV enabled to files uploaded per webdav get group readable permissions. As far as I know umask-handling changed in 10.04 and is configured in /etc/pam.d/common-session and by setting approriate GECOS fields, right? [12:29] I have two audio out ports on my PC, one in the front, one in the back. Is it possible to set up my Ubuntu install to use the front jack if it has something plugged in, and otherwise use my back jack? [12:30] Disregard. Human error. Thanks ;-) [12:30] glebihan: the problem is I need to update a progress bar (whiptail --gauge) as the clamscan produces the output. 'clamscan | nl' will finish clamscan first and then pipe it to nl. I need the update line for line. [12:33] I am getting an error when I try to apt-get update a workstation about a proxy at 91.189.88.40 What is this? [12:33] JuJuBee: what's the exact error [12:34] Can I use lsof somehow to monitor the output from a process in a bash script? [12:34] stapel: not really no [12:35] stapel, I think you'll have to write a little script to do what you want to [12:35] i created a new user account for my husband, on ubuntu 10.04 but now he wants to download packages from Ubuntu Software Center and it's showing our son's login and mine but not his? [12:35] noone around that knows how to set umask for apache in 10.04 ? [12:35] ikonia : same as http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1364185.html [12:35] glebihan: I am trying to write a script but I am not sure how to achieve what I need to [12:36] stapel: what exactly do you want to do? [12:36] stapel, hold on, I'm giving it a try, I'll pastebin you a script when I'm done [12:37] JuJuBee: what repo's are you getting the error on [12:37] glebihan: I need to do something like this (pseudo code): while (clamscan_process) {echo $line_number} | whiptail --gauge [12:37] who are you ? [12:38] ikonia hang on, posting the exact errors... [12:38] glebihan: thanx [12:38] zyj: interesting way to begin a conversation. [12:38] stapel, do you have any parameters to pass to clamscan ? [12:39] ikonia http://pastebin.com/mufYmLNZ [12:39] sipior: I want to count the number of lines from the output of clamscan, but I want to update it as it happens so that I can update a progress bar. [12:40] i created a new user account for my husband, on ubuntu 10.04 but now he wants to download packages from Ubuntu Software Center and it's showing our son's login and mine but not his? [12:40] glebihan: just the name of the folder, I can add the rest myself (-ir --remove=yes) [12:41] can anyone give me some help with SAMBA [12:42] chull: could it be that your husbands account has no privileges to use apt? [12:42] i have Ubuntu 10.04, and when i try to connect to a windows share it asks me for the login, domain and password so i provide the details but i get denied [12:42] odb|fidel, hmm how can i give him those? [12:42] chull: or in other words: use sudo [12:43] stapel, here is a little python script that should handle what you need : http://paste.ubuntu.com/490912/ [12:43] chull, did you create the account and allocate it a home folder... [12:43] stapel, you have to pass it the folder as argument [12:43] chull: "sudo adduser yourhusbandsname admin" should do it. how did you create the account? [12:43] odb|fidel, i think i did. i followed directions. [12:43] steve_ ubuntu and windows are in the same workgroup? [12:43] glebihan: yes I know :) [12:43] chull: the question is: how was the account created & is that account privileged to use sudo [12:43] ikonia never mind, seems it was my proxy. Weird that it gave me an extermal IP [12:43] oh, I thought she meant not showing the name on logging into gnome. [12:44] stapel: the output is being saved to a file? easiest perhaps to background the clamscan program, and run a while loop using "wc -l" or "nl" to count the lines, and a "sleep" directive to follow. you can test for an exit condition on the clamscan process to terminate the while loop. [12:44] glebihan: sorry, you meant to your script :) [12:44] stapel, yes [12:45] Hm, I'm a little bit unhappy with the way Lucid handles the sound card volume. When I take a look at alsamixer, I see that it controls quite a number of levers in a confusing way. Can I somehow tell it which lever to control? [12:45] chull: you should find: user settings in menu - administration [12:45] chull: there again should be a button advanced user settings or similar [12:45] compare the checkboxes of your account with those of your husband [12:46] if you arent used to terminal [12:46] ok thanks let me try to read this.. it's so tiniy [12:46] there is a checkbox called: administer the system [12:46] yes bodwick and i can access my ubuntu shares on the windows computer [12:46] which should do the trick [12:47] I have an root on LVM over dmcrypt / md how can i force initramfs to open the dmcrypt? [12:47] odb|fidel, where is menu, administration in 10.04? [12:47] i have a correct /etc/crypttab [12:47] system -> administration [12:48] system -> administration -> user & groups -> select account - press advanced settings [12:48] stapel, will this fill your needs ? [12:48] glebihan: I am not sure how I am suppose to use it. [12:49] 有中国人在吗 [12:49] stapel, save it as a python file (.py), and run "python filename.py /path/to/folder" [12:49] steve_ tried mounting that share using terminal or krusader ? [12:50] glebihan: I did that, but how is that different form just running 'clamscan -ir --remmove=yes /folder' in a bash script [12:50] nope, i am new to this how would i go about doing that [12:50] 有 [12:50] stapel, don't you get the line numbers ? [12:50] Hello All. I'm in trouble installing Ubuntu Server from a pen drive in a machine without cdrom drive. The boot process is ok but the ubuntu installer stay asking for a CD rom drive. How to solve this issue? [12:51] odb|fidel, it gives an error when i try to login as me, i think our son set himself as primary, on this drive. it was supposed to be a different box, originally. how can we get him out and us in? we need to use the drive. [12:51] mfz2008, speak American [12:52] and his trackball isn't picking up text to copy. it won't highligiht [12:52] chull: so you are telling me your son is the only user/account with admin privileges? [12:52] chull: if so - force him to upgrade your account as well [12:52] odb|fidel, possibly [12:52] glebihan: yes, but I can achieve that with 'clamscan -ir --remmove=yes /folder | nl' [12:52] stapel, yes but there it should update as it runs [12:53] or force him to login & then do what i mentioned above [12:53] odb|fidel, the dear boy moved to texas and got married, i left him a voicemail yesterday, executives.. lol [12:54] Hi. I've just now setup an Ubuntu Server 10.4.1. During setup, the server asked me which interface is primary; I didn't know and couldn't connect it to a network at a time, so I opted to skip that screen. [12:54] chull: well as it sound you arent a techi - but a user without administraive rights which is willing to get those ... bad conflict ;) [12:54] odb|fidel, i'm his mother, does that count? and we paid for the drive too! [12:54] chull: and how does that helps any further? [12:54] How do I choose the 'primary' interface now? Why is the primary interface special? Would editing /etc/network/interfaces and just specifying my interfaces be identical to using that guided configuration tool? [12:55] chull, whos mother are you ? [12:55] its about having no sudo rights & no person around with sudo rights but asking how to get sudo rights - which takes at least some fiddling [12:55] odb|fidel, somehow glaring at it does not make it look nicely. [12:55] odb|fidel: just add the user to the "admin" group, then they have sudo rights [12:55] (the answer to that last question is 'no', I edited /etc/network/interfaces and tried both '/etc/init.d/networking restart' and a reboot, my interfaces aren't configured) [12:55] tracy69, if i told you, everyone would know. [12:56] ikonia: read [12:56] glebihan: ok, I see, but I am still not sure how to use it. How can I paste a script to pastebin for you to see? [12:56] ok my son is over here too [12:56] teolicy: "not configured" in what way? [12:56] ikonia: she doenst have sudo rights- so she cants just use the ui to upgrade her or her husbands account [12:56] !paste | stapel [12:56] stapel: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[12:56] glebihan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/490915/ [12:56] ikonia: at least if i followed her correct [12:56] bahaa2008: So use ffmpeg. [12:57] sdschulze, ^^^ [12:57] ikonia: the only user with admin privs (afaik) is away [12:57] odb|fidel: nothing we can do than [12:57] teolicy: anything suspicious in dmesg?

[12:58] sdschulze, http://pastebin.com/0uJfunih [12:58] glebihan: I need to replace 'echo $i' with something that outputs the linenumber from clamscan [12:58] Nope. Furthermore, if I manually set them up with ifconfig, route add, etc, everything is happy. I'm just not familiar with Ubuntu Server's userspace system for network configuration, the hardware and kernel layers seem fine.

[13:01] sdschulze, ah, found one thing: forgot to add my interface to the 'auto' line. [13:01] sdschulze, however, during setup I was asked which is the 'primary' interface; how would Ubuntu treat it differently if it's 'primary'? === bryan is now known as Guest96850 [13:01] teolicy: no idea about Ubuntu server [13:01] stapel, I don't have much time right now, so maybe I could get back to you later by mail, or you can find somebody else that might help you faster [13:02] 10.04 pisses me a bit. [13:02] sdschulze, same issue [13:02] bahaa2008: The problem seems to be audio. [13:03] what's wrong with it ? [13:03] glebihan: thanx for your help anyway. I do appreciate it. [13:03] bahaa2008: Maybe "-acodec aac" helps.

[13:12] quick one folks, my dad just tried to upgrade to 10.04 LTS (I stay away from home) from 9.10, and the update manager has prompted to ask whether grub should be left as is, or should the package maintainer's version be installed. Just wanted to ask from you folks, if its safe to go either way ? I usually took care of his system, but never did a dist upgrade :P [13:12] JohnHeikkila: I watched it screwing it up by opening alsamixer.

[13:48] does anyone know why i would not be able to mount a windows share in gnome but be able to do so via terminal this is sending me insane [13:48] I installed flash BEFORE I did the system upgrade, originally installed was Ubuntu 9.*.* and it has sense been upgraded to 10.*.* [13:48] JohnHeikkila: If it was possible to locate the code that does the volume settings, it would be not so hard to fix it. [13:48] Kai___: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash [13:48] sdschulze: But I guess it is :( [13:49] Ah, fair deal.. I am using x82_64 :P [13:49] Does anyone think that changing taking the 'splash' out of 'quiet splash' in nano /etc/defaults/grub would fix the problem? === obscurant1st_ is now known as obscurant1st [13:50] Actually, I just found the answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1505769 Thanks all though.

[13:52] BlackBeast, what sort of help do you need? [13:52] I have a problem with ubuntu [13:52] tracy, well let me explain [13:52] BlackBeast, just ask [13:52] BlackBeast: So, what's wrong with your ubuntu?

I have a usb -> com adapter. if I plug it in and do a dmesg I see nothing... any pointers? [13:56] BlackBeast: during the installation, did you choose to 'install GRUB' ? [13:57] ongolaBoy: He doesn't have Ubuntu installed, but "Canaima" [13:57] http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ - How would I get this to run in Ubuntu? It is open source for Linux, but old Linux systems I believe. [13:57] BlackBeast, u had two OSes already installed win and some linux right? [13:57] wait [13:57] it's say: [13:57] JohnHeikkila: I thought he tried to install ubuntu from his live cd [13:57] unkown filesystem [13:57] entering rescue mode [13:57] ongolaBoy: Ohh [13:58] Migrated from pure Debian SID to Kubuntu, can only say: It's amazing. Kudos for the distro. just wanted to know: why there are sometimes packages marked with "opensuse" in the version line, are they derived from opensuse or made with their builder? why ubuntu does not make own pkgs? [13:58] Does anyone know how to check my GCC version [13:59] gcc --version [13:59] or dpkg -l | grep gcc [13:59] tracy69: no, i only have windows vista, and that canaima [14:02] hmm. so nobody know how to setup a usb if it doesnt automatically get picked up [14:02] dmesg shows nothing === emc_ is now known as emc [14:02] janik: Can you give an example of one of the packages that you see that on?

Its version 5.0r14+openSUSE-2.1 in Debian Testing as well. [14:06] iflema, I get nothing... however I know USB is working.. as I use other devices [14:06] what about lsusb [14:06] janik: The changelog for the mysql-gui-tools source package lists why.

[14:12] JohnHeikkila: OK, I can set up GNOME to disable the front speaker, too. This temporarily solves the problem, though it's not the nicest solution. I very much prefer the Debian way where it doesn't touch your levers if you don't tell it to do so... [14:13] ja660k: No problem ;) [14:13] sdschulze: Ubuntu - Linux for Human Beings!

[14:15] quick question: Is it true that the package qt-multimedia is not included in 10.10 because it has been merged with another package. If yes, as a packager: If an app depends on qt-multimedia what package should it depend on for the same package to work on both 10.04 and 10.10?

The sound thing is really something I would not do this way. Don't try to be worse than Windows. [14:18] sdschulze: Perhaps it's better to go back to Hardy. [14:18] :) [14:18] probably... [14:18] hihihi100: Write : "/join #alsa" [14:18] Though Debian would be the better option for me. [14:18] tracy69, so do you know about the problem? [14:18] sdschulze: Perhaps you should get Debian ;) [14:19] tracy69, I have to quit please answer [14:19] Someone67, my advice [14:19] buy better graphic card [14:19] maybe ati or nvidia [14:19] JohnHeikkila: Probably. Though there are things I [used to] like about Ubuntu, and there is also the "donÃ't hange a running system" barrier. [14:20] *change [14:20] sdschulze: :) [14:20] tracy69, How I didn't think of that :} [14:20] get Nvidia [14:21] Someone67, intel gpu isnt designed for gaming [14:21] More for..office use [14:21] Pici: thx [14:22] It's just 10.04 tries to do things te Windows way -- only worse and in an exaggerated manner. [14:22] tracy69: I'd try ATI. It's slightly more free software-friendly. [14:22] sds [14:22] oops [14:23] X has died on my comp. Rest in peace. [14:24] sdschulze: Ubuntu 11 - The free Windows [14:24] lol [14:24] If 10.10 gets even worse, I'll definitely switch to Debian.

It seems to start (vmware server that is) but the webinterface for management dies within a minute after starting the services. netstat then still shows the ports are open, but no responses come from it (the 8333 that is, the 8222 keeps redirecting to 8333) [14:56] hey guys, short question: I created a symlink for /home/Desktop/ , but now I don't have any icons on my Desktop although there are Files in the Target directory. Why is this? [14:56] hmorel freezes on wake-up ? [14:56] look: no such luck in using repair packages [14:56] how do i checkout only one file on git repository?

Without recompiling the kernel or changing config files that will be overwritten at the next boot ? [14:57] econdudeawesome: just choose your regular boot not the rescue [14:57] can I edit a config file in /etc to do that instead, so I don't have to restart? [14:57] Duke_Harris: i never tried it... only thing I can think of is that the permissions on the target folder are not ok [14:57] coz_, lol I figured it out ... someone chattr'd that file +i ... it's working now [14:57] hello, [14:57] econdudeawesome: no... [14:57] (and lose current connect) [14:57] When I click Desktop in nautilus or in the locationtab in the panel i get the right folder [14:58] look: Hah, what I meant was so I don't have to restart immediately and lose my support conenction [14:58] is there any way to specify the mount point for gvfs-mount? [14:58] look: so I just add a line at the end that says "nomodeset"? [14:59] hello everyone! [14:59] zmy: Hey [14:59] hmorel install available closed drivers and if you already use nvidia or fglrx try some other version form vendor's site [14:59] econdudeawesome: you should be able to boot just fine after that. but if that does not work then you might have to just reinstall...

[15:26] JohnHeikkila, using pulseaudio you don't stop using alsa. the only different is that mixing is managed by pulseaudio, and not by alsa directly [15:26] What nationality are you? [15:27] Are you American? [15:27] Does anybody here have an ATI video card? If so, do you have ANY video tearing?

[15:29] Roasted: from experience latest build of catalyst is the only way to handle ati [15:29] Yes i have. [15:29] what is video tearing! [15:29] small im not talking about runnning uder try? === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [15:29] Roasted: what are you using for video playing? [15:29] warcry, during action scenes if you notice a ripple going through the screen horizontally, that's video tearing. [15:29] SmallR2002, mostly VLC - but I've tried everything. [15:29] Roasted: with vdpau you shouldn't have issues [15:29] ah, i notice it also [15:29] opps sorrry for not hitting tab there SmallR2002 [15:30] i use nvidia with a VGA monitor [15:30] warcry, sorry to hear that - but I'm in the same boat. I use a nvidia with two dvi monitors, both tear. [15:30] Roasted: my dad runs a three year old nvidia card using vdpau and gets perfect 1080p output [15:30] but only when using it heavily [15:30] anyone know how to get the displays mirrored on a laptop on docking station and an external monitor with the nvidia drivers. this is driving me insane [15:30] SmallR2002, never heard of vdpau... what is this?? [15:30] there is no mirror option [15:30] JohnHeikkila, i just did [15:30] hey, does anyone know where ubuntu/gnome puts its xorg.conf so i can try and fix my x not starting problem? [15:31] Roasted: look at xbmc's docs on it [15:31] boywonder: look into debootstrap then [15:31] vsync does not fix video tearing? [15:31] SmallR2002, ahhhhhhh xbmc. xbmc is what I was going to use for my HTPC too... [15:31] warcry, for me? No. :( [15:31] boywonder: be careful with grub though [15:31] kalleth: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:31] Roasted: xbmc is very nice [15:31] The only thing that helps video tearing is if I launch gnome shell, which the only reason that helps is because its refresh rate or something is half of the regular gnome session. [15:31] JohnHeikkila: that file doesn't exist :( [15:31] its gone [15:31] yer ive been experiencing the newb grub disease! [15:31] i rebooted today and my X wouldn't start at all, and i'm getting no output on my screen [15:32] SmallR2002, I LOVE XBMC. Ill use it whether Im on XP or Ubuntu. I just want to use Ubuntu for myHTPC if possible. [15:32] kalleth: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [15:32] SmallR2002, is this thing built into xbmc? [15:32] Roasted: look into their docs for getting nvidia/vdpau working [15:33] Hold SHIFT at your PC's startup,, then select the recovery mode and go to the root console [15:33] SmallR2002, does this not work with ati? [15:33] Roasted: vdpau is a video handling api for graphics cards [15:33] Roasted: nope [15:33] kalleth: Hold SHIFT at your PC's startup,, then select the recovery mode and go to the root console [15:33] ose, John :) [15:33] kalleth: then do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [15:33] *i shall try those [15:33] okay. [15:33] then [15:33] Roasted: it's basically a way to pass video straight to the gpu for decoding and displaying, it gives you great output [15:33] kalleth: After that, do "startx" [15:33] Roasted, i have no video tearing disabling compiz [15:34] *run "startx" [15:34] kalleth: you need to rm the xorg.conf before reconfigure [15:34] i regret upgrading my ubuntu to 10.10 beta [15:34] SmallR2002, nice, nice. I was thinking this was a stand alone video program, like vlc or something. [15:34] warcry, I'm pretty sure I still did. But it sucks ca use I use docky so I need the compositing. [15:34] Roasted: it takes a lot of latency out [15:34] look: that won't be a problem i can't find an xorg.conf anywhere on disk [15:34] i know... [15:34] kalleth: oh then reconfigure should fix it just fine [15:34] i am having problem saving data to my friends wd my world book drive, i have some software he asked me to give him and gave me a his hdd. Do i require him to change the permission on the drive so i can write to it, or is there a command i can enter into the terminal to allow me to have write access on this external hdd? [15:34] which is strange as it was working perfectly prior to reboot [15:34] Hi [15:34] that and other thing could be fixed when nvidia drivers use KMS [15:35] bigfishy: fdisk -l [15:35] bigfishy: find the driver should be either /dev/sdb or sdc [15:35] *drive [15:35] SmallR2002, but if I go the ATI route, I can't use this - however you said catalyst is pretty bangin for ATI? [15:35] yslyxqysl: Why, what bad did it do? [15:35] Roasted: i get good fps on games but it seems to give worse video out than an older nvidia card [15:36] bigfishy: after which create a mount point 'sudo mkdir /dev/sdh1' [15:36] SmallR2002, tearing, even with catalyst? [15:36] I will get my new laptop delivered tomorrow , dell withOUT win seven preinstalled B-). 320 gb of new harddisk. I have never partitioned a fresh harddisk before. I won't use win 7 for now but i may install it in the future. I just need some help on how to set up partitions... (logical, extended, primary) .. Just some ideas please?? [15:36] nautilus is the most terrible in 10.10 beta [15:36] yslyxqysl : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion. [15:36] rename u7_ u7_fb [15:36] save [15:36] Roasted, what card do you have? [15:36] Roasted: maybe because i'm a long term nvidia fan and haven't used the correct settings, it appears in high action scenes at around the 720/1080 area [15:36] tracy69, nvidia 9600gt [15:36] hi, how can i do recursive grep in all files , that ens either with .pl or .pm? [15:36] bigfishy: then mount the drive at that point 'mount /dev/ look/JohnHeikkila: i've run the reconfigure but there's still no xorg.conf anywhere [15:36] tearing does not bother me, but if it did, i would activate vsync on xorg [15:36] yslyxqysl: Is it elementary nautilus? [15:36] there's an xorg.conf.d folder in /usr/lib/X11 [15:37] but that doesn't contain any either [15:37] speaking of elementary nautilus - how do I remove it? [15:37] bigfishy: should let your wright to it now [15:37] Roasted: why? [15:37] Roasted, i have ati hd4850 latest catalyst and everything work perfect no problems with compiz etc etc even able to check gpu load and temp [15:37] i prefer 60 fps little teared that 20 slow beatiful fps [15:37] look, I'm just curious how to remove it. [15:37] tracy69, no tearing? [15:37] docky or awn? i recently made my wife's new pc look like a mac, maybe i should have used docky instead of awn [15:38] SmallR2002, docky and awn are both very similar. [15:38] nothing everything perfect [15:38] Roasted: well you could probably use 'sudo apt-get uninstall nautilus' <--- but i don't know why you would [15:38] look, I did that in synaptic, and it wanted to remove ubuntu-desktop with it. [15:38] in fact I think awn doesnt require compositing to run... [15:38] Roasted: ...http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-105517.html [15:39] Roasted: if i were you i'd run a custom distro for the htpc [15:39] Roasted: roll your own using debootstrap maybe? [15:39] SmallR2002, what for? [15:39] Hi, I have a server running Ubuntu Server 10.04... while it's booting it just suddenly stops (right after it complains about the lat0-sun16 font), I have to hit escape to get it to continue booting. Has anyone seen this issue before? [15:40] Roasted: so it's slim and you know that libbigrandomglpackage-0 isn't sitting somewhere and using opengl when you don't want it too [15:40] I have a few other servers that were made from the same VM image and boot perfectly fine [15:40] not sure what's causing this [15:40] what distro should i try? [15:40] SmallR2002, which one would you recommend for that? [15:40] i use xbmc w/o a window manager [15:40] warcry: lucid [15:40] JohnHeikkila: i've restarted it holding shift, found the grub bootloader, tried to start both of the kernels installed (24 and 26) in recovery mode [15:40] JohnHeikkila: but both of them black screen after they get to a certain stage on boot [15:40] kalleth: And? [15:40] i am using mint, based on lucid [15:40] hmm [15:40] Roasted: either use the live cd from xbmc (ubuntu based) or roll your own distro from lucid [15:41] SmallR2002, my plan was to have auto login + xbmc auto start, so you wouldnt really know what OS it is. [15:41] and today, i have no sound [15:41] JohnHeikkila: i can ssh to the machine fine, but i'm not getting any output on the monitor at all [15:41] !mint [15:41] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Are you predicting bad mistakes as a result of me adding shortcuts in nautilus on the left pane to popular network places (samba shares) I frequently navigate to? [15:50] DARK_SKY: Did you try Ctrl+Alt+Del to logout and login back? [15:50] Roasted: if they're all named the same, yup [15:51] SmallR2002, they're not - they're different file servers.

[16:00] coz_: Its in Tools [16:00] #defocus on Freenode is pretty much the pinnacle of 1984. The rules confine people discussing only small talk and tech issues. Every time anything with deeper meaning than such is brought up or any sincere emotion is shown outside the bounds of strictly what is expected of people, the individuals are found at fault and devoiced in-order to be re-educated in their own sense of self-worth towards [16:00] an end-justifies-the-means of devaluation. [16:00] hsr, I do see it under tools .however it is greyed out at this point [16:00] ..in their own sense of self-worth towards an end-justifies-the-means of devaluation. [16:01] coz_: same here. how to enable it? [16:01] how i can fix this error I have to tried to update my flash on ubuntu ? Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program.

[16:08] i thought CkhiKuzad was rather funny [16:08] hsr, so sudo apt-get install kttsd [16:09] i installed it [16:09] SmallR2002, i wasn't trying to be funny. it was a misunderstanding [16:09] Gnea, it is installed, it just won't detect my wiimote [16:09] Gnea,whereas wmgui detects it!! [16:09] NAJI: you should contact the wiican authors then [16:09] CkhiKuzad: i gave you an opportunity to turn it into a joke :p [16:10] NAJI: https://launchpad.net/~wiicanteam [16:10] <^APOLOGIZE^> Ciauz a tutti che mi odorono di #ubuntu [16:10] SmallR2002: drop it.

[16:10] CkhiKuzad, what happen? [16:10] hsr you tell me hold on [16:10] hsr, that packages does indeed enable the speech funtions .. I just tested [16:11] Gnea: woah, chill... i was just being jovial and friendly, no offence intended to anyone [16:11] X_o: yeah.. i am seeing [16:11] let's stay on topic here.

[16:12] coz_:hold on.. i'll tell [16:12] coz_: apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner [16:12] CkhiKuzad: this is your last warning.

I see a pop up with "apturl" and it wants an application chosen [16:14] coz no I'm tried to download from flash webside but my apt is authorize some thing like that [16:15] CkhiKuzad: it would behoove many of us if you'd google something that looks a little off-beat instead of assuming that it's something that it may not purport to be, you may find you'll get better feedback in the future by doing so. I did not mean to be insulting, I only meant to point out that we try to not jump to conclusions around here. [16:15] X_o, understood.... are you not able to install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [16:15] i did it [16:15] X_o, ok [16:15] bbut doesn't work [16:15] X_o, mm [16:15] you know, i really do love gnu ddrescue [16:15] Gnea, and what exactly is going to happen after it? you are going to report me for something that was started by you insulting me? or perhaps you will just ban me from the channel. Either way i've been civil this entire time, not trying to insult anyone. yet you tell me to learn how to read, then you tell me to drop the fact that you were blatantly rude, and then you threaten me? no, i will not drop it. [16:15] coz_: X_o: It opens directly with me here [16:16] the last warning is what that is in reference to. [16:16] hsr, thats interesting it does not here [16:16] what version of ubuntu u have ?

[16:17] do u think is that a problem ? [16:17] X_o: yeah i read that... but even in previous versions the problem was not there [16:17] CkhiKuzad, Gnea: Will both of you stop it already? [16:17] X_o, no because I am also on 10.04 [16:17] Gnea, I'm sorry if it appears that i want to start a fight. it's the last thing i want to do. i just want to voice my opinion. now that i have voiced it, i am now able to, as you said "Drop it" [16:17] X_o: No its not, small linking for firefox is required, i am finding that [16:17] CkhiKuzad: thank you.

[16:35] but not any other packets [16:36] bindaz, if you have ip_forward enbaled (the right one - there are multiple i believe) and no firewall set up then I can't help you further [16:36] erdnase, either way here is not a proper place to ask this question. try in #winehq [16:37] Thanks janisozaur .

If I hold down backspace it doesn't continuously delete characters. I have to hit and release the backspace key repeatedly to delete several characters. The host works OK, and I think the Win7 guest doesn't have the same problem. [16:42] it may just be Oracle Linux [16:42] guys!

[16:52] 900 mhz single core, 128 mb ram, 7200rpm hd [16:52] is there an easy way i can install from an iso into a hdd that i will put in another computer later? [16:52] i get crash report [16:52] quick noobie question. it's been a long time sine I setup apache and it seems I can't just install apache2.2-core or apache2.2-common. I have to install a mpm package as well. What is the point of the mpm packages? Just for multithreading? [16:52] ffdsf: what cpu? pentium 3? [16:53] yes [16:53] 486dx [16:53] theconartist: installing without burning an iso to a disk? [16:53] ffdsf: how much linux experience do you have? [16:53] yea CaptainCanuck === Tricia_ is now known as Tricia [16:53] Hey there, I'm wondering what would be the best .ISO burning software? [16:53] pyrophelia: Yes. Unless you're running a very busy site, then just use the Apache variant that the meta packages install. [16:53] its not simple, ive heard it being done [16:53] not much I'm afraid [16:54] iven't try it [16:54] from what os Kai696? [16:54] Ubuntu [16:54] er..10.04 I think? [16:54] brasero comes pre installed and its pretty good [16:54] crash report is here ; http://easyupload.zzl.org/crashreport.html please help me out [16:54] right click it and choose burn to disc? [16:54] ffdsf: ok this can happen 2 ways, remove junk from stock ubuntu, or start again from minimal ubuntu, its your choice [16:54] Will it burn the image to the disk or as a data cd? [16:54] yea that uses brasero Tweaky [16:54] Captain_Awesome, would there be any obvious problems installing on this computer then moving the hdd to t he other? [16:55] CaptainCanuck* [16:55] dajhorn, na, just setting up a secure doc repository. [16:55] data [16:55] Aye, need the image burnt not just a data disk however [16:55] hehehe Captain_Awesome ---> i like that one [16:55] IE, Ubuntu's version of PowerISO [16:55] dajhorn, the cluster this is being hosted really only uses it's cpu for mdadm. is there a benefit to going to a multithreaded model? [16:55] hosted on* [16:56] define junk?? [16:56] ffdsf: everytrh [16:56] as in you wanna burn an iso to disc and have the .iso on disc? [16:56] ffdsf: everything you don't need [16:56] stuff you don't use ffdsf [16:56] theconartist: linux is a lot better about figuring out new hardware on boot up than windows, but I would still install the OS on the machine you plan to use it on [16:57] ... I'm wanting to burn my downloaded copy of Rome Total War (as ISO image) to the disk so when I put it in, it starts automatically just as if I just had the real disk [16:57] no Captain_Awesome [16:57] (DirecttoDrive, paid for:P [16:57] o thats a real username [16:57] my bad [16:57] yea thats a normal burn Kai696 [16:57] So what do I use for that? [16:57] right click burn [16:57] Thanks [16:57] and we'll just assume its a backup copy ok [16:57] pyrophelia: Unless you're running a very busy site, you don't need to care. Apache will use processes and threads appropriately by default. [16:58] and how exactly removing software from installed system will make it faster? [16:58] dajhorn, great. thanks for the info [16:58] Nope, not a backup, I downloaded it from Direct2Drive, (Paid for) it's a digital Copy [16:58] cause they dont like media downloaders here (with the exception of ubuntu iso's i mean) [16:58] guys any of you experience slow pdf printing if the PDF is about 500k in size or more? [16:58] What about putting the image on a partition of the hdd and booting to that to install? [16:58] ahh ok good boy [16:58] ffdsf: not directly, but uninstalling daemons and services that occupy cpu and ram [16:59] yea if anything is gonna work the regular burn will [16:59] ffdsf: also replacing to reduce load, eg replace gnome with openbox and tint2 as a panel [16:59] It's actually a really good website, $20 I had the game, expansion, and it downloads at 2MB/s where is fast here lol [16:59] otherwise you can just mount the iso directly [17:00] ffdsf, you need more memory than 128M [17:00] zzzed: no ffdsf won't [17:00] :) always love you guys, I'm in school for IT. Third day, Hopefully we cover linux quite well.. [17:00] aeon-ltd, if he wants to run a GUI he does [17:00] he might get away with 128 with lubuntu or xubuntu [17:00] if he really cuts it down [17:00] fvwm [17:01] zzzed: no he won't to run heavy flash maybe, but not for a gui [17:01] well yea but thats just a window manager not a desktop environment [17:01] but it will work [17:01] Emanon: who says a DE is in anyway better [17:01] anyone know what ever happened to the game called "slune" on jaunty?

[17:01] i enjoy a de but i have the hardware for it [17:02] 128 mb is fine, I was able to play morrwind and dungeon siege 2 on this machine under w2k [17:02] but i think he could pull off xfce or lxde [17:02] really even with the memory leak in morrowind? [17:02] too bad xfce "looks like your using a commodor 64" [17:03] Emanon: it doesn't have to [17:03] it was a quote [17:03] mbeierl: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/slune [17:03] who has commodore? cuz i have got atari [17:03] Emanon - Isn't everyone using a c64?

[17:13] seriously try xubuntu or lubuntu they are surprisingly usable [17:14] well and what you'd advise to replace gnome with? [17:14] lubuntu uses lxde [17:14] xubuntu uses xfce [17:14] ffdsf: yeah, if you have the time try Emanon's idea then try a ground up distro if its too slow still [17:14] both are quite lightweight [17:14] ffdsf: imo, openbox [17:15] xfce is more lightweight [17:15] ffdsf - maybe gnustep.

[17:26] DAGr8: Not :dd... just dd [17:26] kodak easyshare z740 coz_ [17:27] enter before wq ? [17:27] ilovefairuz: I 've a word that I want to replace with another one [17:27] kagat [17:27] enter before wq ? [17:27] DAGr8: Not necessary - but one is after. [17:27] w10 warniong changing file [17:27] brandon420, try sudo mkdir /mnt/camera then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera/-t vfat -o umask=000 [17:27] wq right away then ? [17:28] nafri: use ejv's command [17:28] nafri: pay attention, i've given you the command above [17:28] DAGr8: You should see the bad deb line disappear. The :wq *(or :wq!) will then write and quit [17:28] In Xubuntu+Thunar shift+delete is not deleting a file permanently but sending it to the trash. How can I fix this? [17:28] ilovefairuz, coz_ i got it, i just had to click the do nothing, then open the folder. [17:28] brandon420, you could also try to mount it in f-spot [17:28] brandon420, cool [17:29] Thanks coz_ and ilovefairuz [17:29] and don't tell someone to use perl to do a search and replace, when it can easily and more efficiently be accomplished using sed [17:29] coz_, you are aalways soo helpful [17:29] coz_, that does the -o umask=000 means? [17:29] ejv: perl is probably more efficient then your sed. [17:29] brandon420, no problem ...glad you got the photos I know this can be painful when the camera doesn work properly [17:30] kagat: barely [17:30] ViN86, the umask should unmask everything in that directory [17:30] voz: That umask makes new files have permissions 777. [17:30] depends on the type of string substitution, prolly an offtopic discussion though ;) [17:31] voz: read write and execute for owner, group, world [17:31] so same as chmod? ok got it [17:31] ViN86, yep and kagat explained it better :) [17:32] vinok: Well a bit of inversion on chmod actually... [17:32] is the Ubuntu Server edition compatible with intel i5 ? [17:33] semanticpc: yes [17:33] hi everyone [17:33] semanticpc: why?, what were you worried about? [17:33] kagat, yes it is indeed an inversion, instead of using 7, for r-w-x umask use 0.. new knowledge learned thanks [17:33] I cant print to a network printer, drivers installed, printer configured, test page sent ... but no print job [17:33] :O [17:33] kagat [17:33] vinok... yes, and 1 instead of 6, 2 instead of 5, etc. [17:33] I LOVE Ubuntu [17:33] aftr dd line disapeared but then I cant type anythin [17:34] its such a nice OS compared to Windoze [17:34] sry im doin manythings at once, thx for helpin [17:34] DAGr8: What are you trying to type... you should be saving and exiting the text file. [17:34] coz_ what? i never wrote anything heh [17:34] wellim in console you said to type :wq [17:34] ViN86, sorry probably tabbing incorrectly here [17:34] aeon-ltd: just making sure before I install it ..... thanks :) [17:34] to save and exit [17:35] but how do I save and exit [17:35] coz_ lol yea think you meant vinok [17:35] heh [17:35] KillerKristin, yes it is now the trick is to get the knowledge out to as many people as possible :) [17:35] semanticpc: wait you've already got the i5?, why didn't you just try it in dualboot? [17:35] ViN86, probably :) [17:35] DAGr8: the ":wq!" command in vi will save and quit... if your on the console you should be done. [17:35] coz_ it was good advice nonetheless hehe ;) [17:35] well I cant type anythin after dd [17:35] my good friend got my hooked on Ubuntu back in version 7 but I didnt like it as much as I do now [17:35] me [17:35] its like I have to 'get out of dd' [17:35] hi [17:36] semanticpc: thats alright I'll try ... I am not going to use Windows anyways [17:36] i prefer to keep ubuntu to the priveleged few, tell no one KillerKristin [17:36] it's called job security ;) [17:36] @jpds: hi [17:36] lol ejv [17:36] DAGr8: I'm confused... I thought we were just fixing your broken sources list. [17:36] im actually not kidding. [17:36] ejv: Take out distrowatch first. [17:36] there is blue ~ thta prevent me form going lower then the line where the bcursor is [17:36] yes we were [17:36] KillerKristin, i started on slackware 9, talk about a steep learning curve lol [17:36] im still in the broken sourse list [17:37] im a tech myself but would love to try to convert a company to Ubuntu one day [17:37] line disapeared after dd but I m not back to console now I cant type anything [17:37] Im stillin the list [17:37] DAGr8: Press escape once, then ":wq!" enter. [17:37] KillerKristin: Get them off of Office and IE and your good to go... :-P [17:37] there is now a blue ~ instead of line 54 and its like its waiting for me to ddo somethion.. [17:37] a ridiculous endeavor. [17:37] area51pilot, its hard to get off of office [17:37] Hey, I just downloaded an Ubuntu 10.04 32bit iso image. I'm trying to put it on a USB and install it on a friend's computer. When I use System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator, make the USB, put the USB in his computer, change the BIOS to look for the USB first for an OS, it gives the following error: vesamenu.c32: not a com32r image . I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 [17:38] its like crack for office people [17:38] area51pilot been chipping away at IE with 90% of the people I work with [17:38] area51: You can use Office in linux... I have, it's just as bad as on windows. [17:38] ViN86: I know, thats my issue in the office here [17:38] huh [17:38] Is ubuntu netbook edition speed optimized? (eg: stripped of useless features)? [17:38] hi the man has gone,can anyone please tell me how to ad my cdrom to fstab? [17:38] DAGr8: use nano, it's infinitely simpler than vim [17:38] DAGr8, escape key [17:38] kagat all I did was move cursor to the top , and then scroll down again and then I could type [17:38] * ViN86 loves nano [17:38] +1 [17:38] escape key did nt work [17:38] is it because im in vmare [17:38] anyways problem solved :) [17:38] thx [17:39] boywonder: why would you want to do that? [17:39] becuase i was told to [17:39] be back later with future problems [17:39] DAGr8: I don't think so... the escape should just exit editing mode (and go back to command mode)... vi is a bit complicated. [17:39] ive mounted it [17:39] thx alot guys , [17:39] Hello and good day to all [17:40] DAGr8, use nano instead of vi [17:40] yea im back to vconsole now im happy btw just fyi guys I need java5 since im tryin to compile for android and java6 is NOT compatible [17:40] ilovefairuz: nano is good, but I don't know how to jump to an arbitrary line in it. [17:40] im fixed now btw [17:40] maybe because im live booting? [17:40] DAGr8: Java 5 isn't either... you need the android sdk and ndk. [17:40] kagat exactly I tried earlier and end uyp rebooting my vm [17:40] got all that but andorid.com wants me to use java5 not 6 .. [17:40] neways thx again [17:40] Anyone? Is Ubuntu Netbook edition lighter to run than Ubuntu Desktop? [17:41] ilovefairuz, ? [17:41] Question: How do i get video chat working in Ubuntu 10.04? (I have tried alot of programs i.e. Pidgin, Kopete, Empathy) but no joy, Please help) [17:41] wildeja, try skype [17:42] wildeja: I've gotten meebo working. (and yes skype as well). [17:42] DAGr8, I'd use Eclipse for the IDE [17:42] boywonder: if you're booting from live cd, then making changes to fstab doesn't make any sense, and besides, the CD drive gets mounted in a "special" away. it gets "polled" regularly to check if there's a CD inside and if so, it gets automatically mounted [17:42] has an adroid plugin [17:42] Xunie: meh, its roughly the same/slightly lighter [17:42] anyone know where I can find a driver for the Canon iR-ADV C5030 [17:42] my cd wont read files [17:42] boywonder: normaly live boot is a temp thing and even if you change fstab in a live boot it will be gone on reboot anyway. [17:42] Thanks all, will go try :) [17:43] aeon-ltd, so really, installing Ubuntu Desktop edition on an netbook won't really make a difference? [17:43] Xunie: no, but the netbook remix has a easier/larger gui so its easier for netbook trackpads other than that its the same [17:44] aeon-ltd, oh what ever. :P [17:44] hi, is it possible to upgrade from 8.04.4 LTS to 9.10? [17:44] I could not get ubuntu desktop to install on my sony vaio but netbook version works a treat [17:44] sacarlson, why is live boot a temprary thing? [17:44] aeon-ltd, it's just the GUI! ion3 > Gnome anyways. :P [17:44] negev: I don't think that should be a problem [17:44] negev, one version up at a time i would assume or upgrade to lucid [17:44] boywonder: the files in /home/youraccount are just kept in ram so at reboot they are not saved. same is true in /etc all files are in ram [17:44] boywonder: you could make it remember things by creating a live usb... [17:45] negev - Why 9.10? (And not 10.04)? [17:45] kagat: because my other box is on 9.10 [17:45] and its production so i don't want to mess with it atm [17:45] I can not find a driver for this imageRunner by Canon :( [17:45] sacarlson, thats what im talking about [17:45] kagat: alt + g [17:45] negev - Got you... then you should probably do a clean install on your staging/dev box. [17:45] how do i see what the intermediate versions are? [17:45] boywonder, as X-Sleepy-X said, but make it as persistent live usb [17:45] why? [17:45] Xunie: you were gonna tile?!!!?!?!? nice hard to find ubuntu tilers these days, most of them are on arch :) [17:45] kagat: to jump to a line in nano [17:45] clean install takes time :( [17:46] why can't i just s/hardy/karmic in /etc/apt/sources, apt-get update and then dist-upgrade? [17:46] aeon-ltd, *cough**cough*, tiling windowmanagers don't work on Ubuntu? What have you been smoking? [17:46] ilovefairuz: Great, but I already know vi. (Same reason I haven't really learned emacs). [17:46] hi there [17:46] KillerKristin, did you look here ? http://yoonkit.blogspot.com/2007/12/canon-imagerunner-and-ubuntu.html [17:46] Xunie: they do, but you don't see a lot of the users [17:46] !upgrade | negev [17:46] negev: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [17:46] negev: Base system would be out of sync... basically you'd be borked. [17:46] Xunie: personally though i like dwm :) [17:46] ok [17:47] ok sorry for the mispronounciation im meant persistaent live boot! [17:47] aeon-ltd, bleh, ion3 was my first tiling window manager, I never had to leave my keyboard, even for browsing. [17:47] negev: "To avoid damaging your running system, upgrading should only be done from one release to the next release (e.g. Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10) or from one LTS release to the next (e.g. Ubuntu 6.06LTS to Ubuntu 8.04LTS)." Directly from the ubuntu wiki. [17:47] Ion3 + Chrome + Vimium == awesome. [17:47] negev: You should consider upgrading from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS. [17:47] hello!! [17:48] dpac_: He needs to match a production environment... but yeah... that would have been my suggestion. [17:48] KillerKristin, also check this site http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting [17:48] boywonder: well I know you can have a usb flash disk boot with persistants but cd's are read only. so maybe you setup a partition for your /home/account? [17:48] its not too big of a deal since I have another printer installed which is fully supported [17:49] boywonder, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent check this out [17:49] I am shocked that most companies dont develop Linux Drivers though [17:49] ion3 looks terrible lol [17:49] KillerKristin: Most companies don't develop their own drivers. === lungan is now known as Lungan [17:50] vimium looks cool tho [17:50] ejv: I still like docky... it looks cool to me. :) [17:50] if i go away reboot and have a /home i aint gonna be to happy [17:50] kagat: Most developers don't drive their own companies... ;) [17:51] X-Sleepy-X: True that. [17:51] KillerKristin: its cos they've no obligation to, i mean why would a company hire a team of developers and testers just to cater for linux users? [17:51] speaking of drivers, have any of you experience slow pdf printing... i installed an .RPM driver to my ubuntu box using alien [17:51] but printing pdf is taking too long [17:52] cause Linux is getting very popular? [17:52] vinok: Yes... but I don't know how to fix that. [17:52] :D [17:52] KillerKristin: It is? [17:52] hi guys, any folder/file comparison utility that you can recommend me?, I'm looking for any, that works either under Linux or Windows :). [17:52] vinok: I have a canon printer and it took some time to do something like clean it's heads? then sudenly it started to work after about 30 secounds [17:53] kagat: hence the big smile since I know it isn't right now but will be [17:53] I've used cmp but it is a pain in the ass to compare file by file, unless I use a bash script, but that would take time to create :) [17:53] chuy_max: diff if they are all text files. You can use its recursive switch for folders [17:53] kagat, let me know if you come across a fix ok [17:53] hi, are there any news about an updated choqok in the repo? the current one it's not working for a week now.. :( [17:53] dpac_, can it compare binary files? [17:53] chuy: For binary files use xdelta. [17:54] vinok: but the secound page and others took much less time. [17:54] chuy_max: Unfortunately, it can't [17:54] kagat, awesome, I will check that :) [17:54] sacarlson, just cleaning the heads? hmm.. let me try that [17:54] I appreciate your answers :) [17:54] hello. is it possible to download source of packege with synaptic? how? === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [17:55] check sources in software sources .. [17:55] vinok: I don't know what it was doing I'm just guessing. but it just seemed to start working after the first page. then I printed other files with little delay. [17:56] when i write packegae name and search only one package show up/appear - binary package deb file [17:56] hey guys, can you recommend me a torrent client for ubuntu? (i used utorrent on win) [17:56] try deluge [17:56] ok guys my issues are with vmare .. it seem I dont get no gui , eith ubuntu in it , only console [17:57] Putr: I just use the default now just click on the torrent file in the browser. [17:57] sacarlson, thanks, i'll try your suggestion a bit later. i spent the whole day trying to figure it out thanks [17:57] DAGr8: try sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop [17:57] sacarlson, i dl A LOT. RSS feeds are a must. [17:57] Putr: transmission, nice 'n' light, or rtorrent if you like command line [17:57] Putr: vuze [17:57] it says already installed [17:57] qdb: sudo apt-get source should work [17:57] oh ant me to add 'gnome' to it ? [17:57] any comments on ktorrent? [17:57] oh ant me to add 'gnome' to it ? ill try now [17:57] dpac_, thank you [17:58] Putr: check out deluge [17:58] Putr: I'm not sure rss feed is the same as a torrent. [17:58] but i wait for answer about synaptic also [17:58] Putr deluge? [17:58] Putr, umm.. KTORRENT.. its KDE base but i use it on my ubuntu [17:58] i'll check out deluge :) [17:59] Putr: http://deluge-torrent.org/ [17:59] kagat: DAGr8: you must mean ubuntu-desktop [17:59] dpac: Thx... I have a head cold... it's really messing with my memory. [17:59] great! deluge looks like utorrent :) just what i need [18:00] :) [18:00] kagat: No problem :) [18:00] dpac well I did that lready it says 0 newly installed 0 to remove and 41 not upgraded [18:00] does anyone know why this sound card doesnt work in ubuntu Azalia Audio Controller [18:00] vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] [18:00] dpac_ kagat [18:00] it look like that card isnt supported by alsa am i right ? [18:00] DAGr8: try startx [18:01] nice somethign happen [18:01] lol [18:01] tracy69: Pastebin the output of something like `lshw` or `lspci`. Azalia parts should mostly be supported. Check that your mixer settings don't have the card muted. [18:01] DAGr8: You must have removed gdm from upstart... weird. [18:02] ok but I have nothing else then ubuntu 's default background I guess [18:02] !who | DAGr8 [18:02] DAGr8: 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 :) [18:02] Is there any good mail client?? for ubuntu? [18:02] DAGr8: How did you install ubuntu in vmware? I usually use VirtualBox, so I'm out of my depth. [18:03] i am running ubuntu 10.04 and i am having problems accessing windows computers with nautilus can anybody help me out [18:03] ServerTech: I like thunderbird. [18:03] ServerTech: Start with Thunderbird or Evolution. There are many choices. [18:03] Ok :) [18:03] It alloeed me to mount the iso and then I let do its job [18:03] dajhorn i just pasted lspci and th ecard is recognissed i installed alsa driver alsa utils alsa plugins alsa lib and this card isnt recognissed by alsa [18:03] when asound -l says no cards found# [18:03] DAGr8: Did you install ubuntu server? [18:04] yes ubottu but tab ( for nick competion seem to be not workin its a pain ill do now [18:04] tracy69, when you compiled the alsa driver did you tell it to include the card? [18:04] kagat no dektop [18:04] I cant print to a network printer, drivers installed, printer configured, test page sent ... but no print job [18:04] anybody knows about vdpau and deinterlacing and correct mplayer config for that? [18:04] DAGr8: Ubottu's a bot :) [18:04] kagat now I can right click and do stuff [18:04] DAGr8: The vmware guest tools installed? [18:04] hi everyone. i am having a small issue. i need help changing the language and everything is in greek. can someone describe the pictures of the language option in the system menu? [18:04] well it was obviously your trigger [18:04] brb in a sec [18:04] tracy69: Check your mixer settings. It could be ALSA, but it would also be PulseAudio. See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [18:05] Hi all folks :) [18:05] DAGr8, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [18:05] dajhorn, when type alsa mixer it says didnt found and the utils are installed [18:05] it appears to only be Windows 7 machines [18:05] as i can browse a windows vista machine no problems === ServerTech is now known as ServerTech|Busy [18:05] coz_, when installed the driver i just compiled with everything was there [18:06] coz_, mean ./configure make make install [18:06] ? [18:06] I have a question: https://gist.github.com/4a2bc30681f640ffd044 <-- When I run this script, I get an: tar: /mnt/nfs_backups/YOdesa/etc-09-09-2010.tgz: can´t open: no file or directory any clue???? [18:06] Hello everyone, Does anyone know if the Metatracker Search Tool on the Gnome Desktop in Ubuntu 10.4 will search for a string of words in a file? I've been able to search for single words within files, but when two or more are used it results in nothing. [18:06] tracy69, when compiling for specific cards ...you start with the alsa driver and the command should look somethings like this ./configure --with-cards=nameofcard --with-oss-yes --with sequencer-yes && make && sudo make install [18:06] tracy69, then you would compile the alsa lib and then the firemware [18:06] is there any sharing group in ubuntu one ? [18:07] mark_: Why don't you use grep [18:07] can I make os-prober ignore sda2? It's a recovery partition [18:07] mark_, what about using quotes? [18:07] Yup, but grep won't search PDFs. [18:07] mark_: grep -ir "search words" ./ [18:08] what is the fastest file sharing protocol to share between Windows and other Ubuntu PC's? [18:08] mark_: ohh yes. [18:08] mark_: Try strings on the pdf. [18:08] co that the command i used to install alsa driver [18:08] tracy69, you would also have to research how alsadriver compile names your specific card [18:08] coz_, sudo ./configure --with-debug=full --enable-dynamic-minors --with-moddir=updates [18:08] hi everyone. i am having a small issue. i need help changing the language and everything is in greek. can someone describe the pictures of the language option in the system menu? [18:08] gabrielcz: Part of the path could be missing, like the NFS point not being mounted. The script also needs to be invoked as root to get all of /var/log. [18:08] KillerKristin: Probably smb (or cifs), but I use scp. [18:08] tracy69, ok I never tried that one [18:08] Grep also won't search DOCs because they're binary files, at least according to other's I've asked on this subject. [18:08] coz_, i just compiled it for all supported cards [18:09] kagat: isnt smb Samba? [18:09] and it doesnt see the card [18:09] hi all [18:09] KillerKristin: It's the protocol that Samba uses (and cifs). [18:09] gabrielcz: If you are running on a non-English system, then $fetcha is unsafe. You should protect it with quotes like "$fetcha". [18:09] does anyone know waht SIS mean ? [18:09] I am facing problem while boot up [18:09] tracy69, does that card require firmware? [18:09] Samba seems to take forever copying files [18:09] dajhorn: NFS is mounted, can write there, and im runing as root :( [18:09] dajhorn: yes, spanish one! [18:10] it says "Gnome power manager not installed properly" [18:10] gabrielcz, /mnt/nfs_backups/YOdesa/etc does not exist.. or its parent directory check if it is mounted or if it exist [18:10] kandarpk: Thats a known bug. [18:10] across 3 different linux installations [18:10] coz_, i dont know [18:10] dajhorn: I know my problem is that, becouse If I run using tar zcvf /mnt/nfs_backups/YOdesa/var-log.tgz /var/log it works [18:10] how to find it out ? [18:10] if it does or not [18:10] hello. is it possible to download source of packege with synaptic? how? when i write package name and search only one package show up/appear - binary package deb file [18:10] kandarpk: It happens when your root partition is full. There are other reasons too [18:10] tracy69, at this point I would go over to the #alsa channel to see if they have any suggestions [18:10] dpac_: I am facing the same issue while booting up debian, ubuntu and fedora [18:11] dajhorn: will try [18:11] gabrielcz: You could be getting $IFS whitespace in the $fetcha expansion. Quotes matter, try: zcvf "/mnt/nfs_backups/YOdesa/var-log-$fecha.tgz" /var/log [18:11] kandarpk: do they share home directory? [18:11] Thanks for the suggestion . I used both double & single qoutes which does not work. [18:11] dpac_: no. [18:11] gabrielcz, install unp ,it works with all compressed files [18:12] dajhorn: thanks, will try now :) [18:12] dpac_, they are installed on same hard disk [18:12] mark_, , bummer :( [18:12] dpac/kagat, are you saying that grep will search contents of PDFs, DOCS, & ODTs? [18:13] mark: The PDF may have searchable strings - but you need to preprocess the binary with the command strings. [18:13] dpac_: restarting after sometime solves the issue temporarily. [18:14] kandarpk: are they sharing /tmp? Sometimes permission issues with /tmp causes this error. [18:14] dpac_: no. they are installed in separate partitions. [18:14] I cant print to a network printer, drivers installed, printer configured, test page sent ... but no print job [18:14] kandarpk: Is there anything these all installations are sharing apart from hard disk? Can you paste the output of df -h in pastebin? [18:14] how to add start menu and panels to openbox? [18:15] OK kagat, is that something that is done on the command line for grep? [18:15] If so, any idea how? [18:15] DAGr8: The vmware guest tools installed? : NO I dont know it still says its installing witch is why I think my issues are on wmware side [18:16] dpac_: applications( including terminal ) are failing to get started, only the window appears [18:16] kandarpk: Ctrl+Alt+f1 [18:16] kagat : how do I launch console again ? to try [18:16] [13:02] DAGr8, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [18:16] DAGr8: ctrl-alt-f1 (I don't use vmware though). [18:17] DAGr8: or ctrl-alt-backspace [18:17] Also, kagat, do you know if that grep method will search for DOCs & ODTs too? [18:18] mark_: not docs, not odt [18:18] kagat : lol I just reset it again and it poped up install tools ? I said yes ... ( finally) [18:18] mark_: first have different encodings inside, second are zipped [18:18] OK then, it's probably not something I'd use for this. [18:18] mark_: Well strings will extract ascii strings from binary files, it might work... but most word processors use a the "flyweight" object pattern... it makes ascii hard to find. [18:18] can anyone please describe the process of changing my language. i just need help with what pictures to click because its in a language i dont understand [18:19] DAGr8, status? [18:19] ones more does anyone know what SIS mean ? [18:19] well now that I instll tool I get th egui not just cosole anymore [18:19] :) [18:19] Does ubuntu have built in RDP? [18:19] I want to connect to a windows box [18:19] tracy: do you have any context? [18:19] I logged in normally instead of insode console [18:19] Yup, from what I understand grep won't search PDFs & DOCs. So it looks like the Tracker Search Tool is appropriate. [18:19] like azalia sis [18:19] graphic sis [18:19] elb0w: rdesktop or tsclient [18:19] etc etc [18:19] tracy69, silicon integrated systems [18:20] dpac_: it has used 5.0 GB and available 5.5 GB [18:20] elb0w: tsclient is a gui frontend for rdesktop [18:20] yes but what does it mean ? [18:20] Which leads me to the question. Do you know if multiple words can be search with tracker? It finds single words, but when I type two or more that I know exist in a PDF or plain text file it doesn't find them. [18:20] tracy69, it's a company name [18:20] DAGr8, nic [18:20] DAGr8, nice [18:20] thx [18:20] :P [18:21] dlane4: apt-get install language-pack-{CODE} [18:21] kandarpk: This might help: http://goo.gl/bPtB [18:21] hehe ok i didnt know what cuz someone show to me his spec and i saw everything sis and my laptop doesnt have anything sis so i didnt know what that really mean [18:21] :) [18:21] Also, has anyone heard anything about the reliability of Metatracker Search Tool, because it seems it doesn't locate all information in these files. [18:21] dlane4: then gnome-language-selector [18:21] how to add start menu and panels to openbox? [18:21] dpac_: I am not able to change file permissions, or create files [18:22] ffdsf: Try docky. [18:22] dpac_: it says "read only file system" [18:22] ffdsf: Thaks for answering. I am at the language selector, i just dont know what to click because it is not in english [18:22] ffdsf: ok you followed through with my advice :), you need to install a panel, any one you like [18:23] how can I like something I probably never saw [18:23] Does anyone know if it is within the ability of the Tracker Search Tool in Ubuntu 10.4 to search for a string of words in a regular text file? [18:23] kandarpk: you should e2fsck your hard drive. [18:23] dlane4: αγγλικά [18:23] dlane4: what language it is in? [18:23] ok im back and not with an eager eye after getting lame advice [18:23] dpac_: ok, thanks. [18:23] my cd wont mount itself? [18:23] elb0w, yes try to install tsclient if you dont have it. it is the front end gui [18:24] kandarpk: sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot [18:24] I was wondering what irc client does everyone use? [18:24] mark_: The trackerd in Ubuntu is sloppy. It might work, but don't assume that it is reliable. [18:24] ffdsf: no clue when i copy and paste the language into the bar it turns into english, it looks like greek [18:25] im going to try a restart brb [18:25] my cd wont mount itself? do i add it to fstab? [18:25] i've been getting fairly regular kernel panics, i think since upgrading to Lucid. nothing in particular seems to cause them. today i wrote down (most of) two traces, the second of which happened as it was rebooting. http://sprunge.us/JEIO and http://sprunge.us/dRQS any ideas? [18:25] So dahhorn, from what you've heard it isn't always reliable? Have you heard anything about it being able to search a string of words? [18:25] sinister-nation: xchat, irssi, weechat [18:25] dlane4: if you could upload a screenshot... [18:25] mark_: Just try it. [18:26] Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade to the Beta and get this, " [18:26] Error during commit 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend x11-common for x11-xkb-utils, probably a dependency cycle.'" any ideas? [18:26] It doesn't work. It would be nice if there were some information on this in their documentation, but there isn't. [18:26] dlane4: just try trial and error till you get to english, if you have the time === zatan_ is now known as zatan [18:26] mark_: Okay, then use something else like `grep` or the Google Desktop (if it still exists). [18:26] dajorn, have you heard of an efficient, low-memory intensive desktop search tool that has good documentation? [18:27] oops, sorry, didn't mean for it to go on 2 lines [18:27] dpac_, cannot touch /forcefsck, read only file system [18:27] Grep is not for ODT/DOC. [18:27] does anyone know any good C programming books for linux? [18:27] tacomaster: ##C would be a better channel to ask in. [18:27] tacomaster: C is C. OS matters not. [18:27] tacomaster: just grab a copy of K&R [18:27] kandarpk: mount -o remount,rw / [18:27] aeon-ltd: k thanxs just trying to find a good irc to use currently have smuxi installed to check it out [18:27] mark_: If the basic tools don't work, then you need to learn how to combine grep with tools to unpack things like ODF and DOC. [18:27] maco: wont the libarys be different? [18:28] kagat: trying it, thanks. [18:28] tacomaster: the base language is the same *everywhere* [18:28] tacomaster: its also very very small [18:28] tacomaster: you dont need a book to learn to use libraries though... after you know C, you just use API docs to find out about libraries [18:28] grep is useless: it doesn't search in dos, windows or unicode text [18:29] dajhorn, according to various folks that I've asked in this & other chat rooms, it is beyond the ability of grep to search ODT & DOC files, although it may have a limited ability to search the contents of PDFs. Is this incorrect? [18:29] sinister-nation: note, irssi and weechat are command line apps [18:29] mark_: combine it with some utility to extract text from docs or odt and use it together with find [18:29] kagat, mount: you must specify the file system type [18:29] ffdsf: no good, here is a creenshot if this helps http://imgur.com/FLiz3.png [18:29] maco: ok because i have alot of time on my hands love computers and wanted to start helping develop ubuntu have messed with python some but want to get deep in a language [18:30] aein-ltd: k thanxs === Greysc[a]le is now known as Greyscale [18:30] OK, so the grep command itself, with its various options won't do this, but there are commands which can be installed & combined with it that probably will? [18:30] mark_: Yes. [18:30] Are you aware of any of these off hand? [18:30] tacomaster: devhelp is a handy program for viewing gtk/gnome docs offline (just install -doc packages for the libraries you want to work with, and they'll show up in there) [18:30] dlane4_, that's english but with greek letters [18:31] mark_: Check out Apache POI. === sinister-nation is now known as sinman [18:31] tacomaster: also, get the manpages-dev package to get the manpages for C [18:31] lol oh man i have no clue how this happen i just upgraded to 10.04.1 and this is how it installed -_- [18:31] OK, thanks for the suggestions. [18:32] mark_: Learning to use the userland will cost you tens of hours of learning. Try this: http://desktop.google.com/linux/ [18:32] tremby: did you read those panic messages? [18:32] estragib: as much of them as i could. how much i understand is a different matter. [18:33] tremby: i'm no pro but the strings "hardware error" and "this is not a software problem!" stand out [18:33] dajhorn, I don't mind that, & would even prefer to become familiar with the command line searching method, if it can be accomplished in this manner.

I need to locate it first [19:01] does anyone know if it is possible to get upstart in lucid to re-exec itself?

However after install both deb files, I realized that I already have them previously installed. [19:04] But I still can't seem to sync my ipod [19:04] KillerKristin1: sure you can [19:05] elitexray: to see what files a package contains do: dpkg --listfiles packagename [19:05] elitexray: that's for installed packages [19:06] dp: error: wrong architecture 'i386' [19:06] !ipod | elitexray [19:06] elitexray: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [19:06] 大家好 [19:06] ylmfos_, could you please speak american?

[19:08] ffdsf, not sure what's up with it. [19:08] evenin' all [19:08] Roasted: try a new profile === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [19:08] ilovefairuz: Checked the cables and restesting- same issue [19:08] god its any easy question!? [19:09] Hi, I am trying to play an HD mp4 file. But none of my player can t play it fluently on ubuntu (vlc and movie play with pluggins). Any idea why? [19:09] ChesterX: are you using hardware acceleration? [19:10] ceegee: then either your motherboard or your hard disk is having issues, enter BIOS settings and check if the hard disk is detected [19:10] boywonder: you're doing it wrong [19:10] ShakeyJake: I don't think so (btw: I am using ubuntunetbook) [19:10] vinok fixed it , seem it didnt want me to edit manually I add lines via synaptic problem solved all reps are there [19:10] boywonder: i've explained to you before [19:10] ChesterX, a. check cpu usage, b. check if your graphics card supports vdpau (it will have to be some nvidia) === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [19:10] ilovefairuz, what did you explain? [19:11] ChesterX: ah ok, what model of netbook? [19:11] ShakeyJake: asus 1005H [19:11] ilovefairuz, for my normal install [19:12] boywonder: that mounting the CD drive is different from normal hard disks and is done differently [19:12] hi all [19:12] does evolution have support for gmail SMTP? by the looks of it it hasn't (Error: Bad auth message recieved from server, althought the password is correct) [19:12] ilovefairuz: in bios- under standard cmos features- the two hardrives are listed as chanell 0 master and chanel 1 master [19:12] boywonder: and that changing fstab in a live cd session is useless [19:12] ilovefairuz, its not for my persistent usb its for a normal ista [19:12] boywonder: WHY are you trying to do that? [19:13] its a device thingy [19:13] nevermind removing the account and re-adding it solved it [19:13] boywonder: rephrase your last sentence [19:13] ChesterX: i think you may just be out of luck, your notebook isn't powerful enough [19:13] When using the guided partitioner to install Ubuntu on an encrypted LVM, what is the encryption algorithm used? Is there a location online that "officially" describes this? I feel this may be necessary to circulate as my employer is forcing users to encrypt laptop hard drives at the moment. [19:13] i have this problem: in firefox, pressing the middle button (the mouse's wheel) makes the browser try to go to some website. Does anyone know how to disable that function or even the middle button? [19:13] ChesterX, wont work, cpu is to slow, gpu is wrong (i think thats some sort of intel chipset?) [19:14] ilovefairuz, it isnt a live disk issue its for my hdd box [19:14] ilovefairuz, everytime i reboot my system i have to mount the cd? [19:14] boywonder: the cd drive will get automatically mounted when you insert a CD [19:15] ShakeyJake: Yes. still, it works perfectly fine with vlc on my xp partition. And as ubuntu need less ressources I don t get why it should work xD [19:15] I would like to circulate a more "official" publication on this method, or at least a URL that is not pointing to someone's blog. [19:15] ilovefairuz, it doesnt [19:15] asclepio: what's happening is that that middle mouse button pastes your last selection into the browser. fx tries to be helpful and assumes it's an url. [19:15] boywonder: do you keep a disk there all the time? [19:15] ilovefairuz, no [19:15] how to arrange the songs in rhytmbox by folder? [19:16] asclepio: you should be able to disable it in about:config [19:16] rmrfslash: point them to the source :) You tried searching help.ubuntu.com? [19:16] ChesterX: simply put, in windows it's using your gpu to do most of the hard work to play the video. Intel hate you, so they wont release the code ubuntu folk need to make that happen in ubuntu [19:16] boywonder: what ubuntu version are you using? [19:16] asclepio: look for the key "middlemouse.paste" and set to false [19:16] estragib: thanks! i'll try that now... [19:17] ilovefairuz, 10.4, when i put a disk in it wont read it? [19:17] ilovefairuz, it will after i omunt it [19:17] ShakeyJake: Everything is about money... What a shame, it would really make it almost perfect :-/ [19:17] boywonder: are you running gnome? [19:17] ilovefairuz, yep [19:17] asclepio: sorry, wrong key: it's actually "middlemouse.contentLoadURL" [19:18] rmrfslash: that and checking for a relevant launchpad spec (or maybe searching wiki.ubuntu.com) directly would be what I would do [19:18] k i followed the instructions here on changeing the plymouth screen http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-tipplymouth-themes-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html for the background wallpaper but got a black screen [19:18] hai my power manager hangs at the time of booting in ubuntu 10.04. please help me.

[19:18] ChesterX: it is possible to do hardware acceleration in ubuntu using any new nvidia card, but saldy most notebooks (mine and yours included) use an intel chipset. [19:19] estragib: great! i made both false, as i never intend to use the middle button for any purpose === thune3_ is now known as thune3 [19:19] Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade to the Beta and get this, "Error during commit 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend x11-common for x11-xkb-utils, probably a dependency cycle.'" any ideas?

I'm seeing that often times I get a little slim tiny tiny window that comes up that's blank as opposed to thunderbird working appropriately. [19:21] jrib: yes, I looked on help.ubuntu.com however... the instructions there are for those using the manual partitioning strategy and for 7.04. There is a link for using the guided partitioning, however this points to some article on softpedia.com. I imagine this is not exactly "official" or something they have control over.

Sorry. This happens when I have it set to boot from local drives. If I have it boot from the cd. It works. [19:34] hey guys. I just installed gentoo on a second partition and I am having a hard time getting it into the grub menu.

[19:39] boywonder: yes, looking into it [19:39] ilovefairuz, thanks [19:39] Gui_0, i just did that [19:39] i get the key icon in gparted because the partition is "In use by the system" - but i don't know how to tell the system to stop using it or whatever :( [19:39] Is anybody having any issues with thunderbird in ubuntu?

If it isn't mounted and you're getting the yellow warning triangle, then force a fsck.

[19:48] sammy, It's supposed to do that, but it didn't. XD I'll just, see what Ican do. :P [19:48] Gui_0: No. Sometimes ntfsfix will do it, but you usually need to fsck NTFS from Windows. [19:48] i use back track and ubuntu [19:48] hello people, I am connecting this computer to my laptop, and the link is fine, however, both cards support 1gbit, I have a cat5e cable, and still they only connect at 100mbit, anyone knows how to fix this? [19:48] dajhorn, i don't have a bootable windows installation [19:48] erdnase: yeah, my experience is that wine automagically adds itself to the menu upon installation, and installing programs should add them to the wine section of the applications menu. [19:49] boywonder: yes it should automatically mount it but bugs in the kernel, udev or udisks or faulty firmware may prevent this from happening [19:49] dajhorn, can't gparted resie an unmounted partitions? o.0 [19:49] how do I remove orphaned packages? [19:49] from aptitude [19:49] carlg: sudo apt-get autoremove [19:49] carlg: apt-get autoremove [19:49] I can install Ubuntu 10.04.1 on one of my computers running windows 7, but on my other computer after I get past the initial boot screen, it goes black and begins running code which ends in soft lockup, any ideas please? [19:49] Gui_0: Did you check the `mount` output? [19:49] ei guys does any of you experience gnome panel bug... there are time my volume control is missing and i have 2 battery icons and bluetooth on the panel. anybody knows how to fix this? [19:50] thanks! [19:50] !panel | vinok_ [19:50] dajhorn, yes i did - the partitions was listed as mounted [19:50] !panels | vinok_ [19:50] vinok_: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:50] *partition [19:50] Deviatus: any error messages? the last thing you can see on the screen, maybe? you can try removing the 'quiet' flag from the boot options when you start the installation and see if it shows you why its locking up [19:51] Gui_0: The partition must be dismounted to resize it. # sudo umount -f /My/NTFS/MountPoint [19:51] the partion isso deffuclte ihave fo partition [19:51] ethtool claims both cards do support 1000baseT, however, on this computer it says the laptop is advertising only 100baseT, and the laptop claims this computer isnt advertising any speeds [19:51] i have loss my files on windows [19:52] so i have boot my usb using unetbooting [19:52] ChaosR: is there a way to manually set, rather than autonegotiate? what OS is the laptop running? [19:52] no [19:52] !enter | spid3r [19:52] spid3r: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:52] sammy: ubuntu [19:52] ChaosR: Replace the ethernet cable first. Linux almost always plumbs the interface to the right speed. [19:52] last error messages I get are W:Skipping nonexistent file /cdrom/dists/lucid/restricted/binary-i386/packages [19:53] ok [19:53] ChaosR: ethtool can force an interface speed. [19:53] anyone have any experience mounting .iso's in gnome without installing additional software? [19:53] ChaosR: dajhorn is right, autonegotiation is almost always best. if you're having to force a speed, something is wrong. [19:53] I am using iptraf, and want to have information for UDP data similar to that in the "TCP Connections" window so I can see where all the traffic is coming from [19:53] sammy: mount command works [19:53] ChaosR: sudo mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0 [19:53] sammy: No. Gnome needs a helper package to mount ISO files that is not installed by default. [19:54] dajhorn: then why do I have an option to open the file with the 'archive mounter'? :P [19:54] sammy: you can mount an iso just using the mount command from a terminal [19:54] where is the task manager in ubuntu? [19:54] dpac_, thanks, but it restored the default panel. anyways thanks it helps [19:54] sammy, try $sudo mount -o loop .iso /place/to/mount/to [19:54] Hello I am looking to find out if there is any Alternative to Jack Audio Connection Kit. [19:54] sammy: The file roller is not the same thing as a mount. [19:54] dajhorn: It isn't? Are you sure? [19:54] Hello can I set up grub to load at bootup even if I only have ubuntu installed? and how? [19:54] I know how to mount iso's, folks, thank you for the help with that. I'm curious why gnome advertises a mounter that doesn't work for me. [19:54] or in ubuntu right click the iso and select the mounting option [19:54] ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/Z82KMN9Q [19:55] ritlee: that's what I'm trying. no error (that I know how to find), no feedback, nothing happens. [19:55] hi [19:55] dajhorn, it says: sudo: unmount: command not found [19:55] this is starting to drive me nuts...is there any way to completely reinstall the audio in ubuntu? drivers and everything? [19:55] I am trying to get gnome in ubuntu to have the same icons system like in windows 7 [19:55] sammy, *nix no news is good news... go into the dir you mounted to and do an ls [19:55] vinok_: You're welcome [19:55] Gui_0: Your spelling is wrong: umount [19:55] by that I mean on mouse over the icons turn into a box [19:55] is it possible??? [19:55] ? [19:56] ritlee: oh its trying to mount it where the iso lives? oi. that's an external drive running hfs+ - I don't know if it can even write to it. lemme copy the iso to my desktop and see if I get different results. [19:56] if I try to force the settings, the laptop says: "cannon set new settings, invalid argument" [19:56] elliot_: System->Administration->System Monitor [19:56] thanks everyone for help on how to mount .isos from the command line, though. [19:56] dajhorn, the command ran well now. i think i just found out the disk has 2 bad sectors :O [19:57] boywonder: did you add any cdrom lines to fstab? pastebin it [19:57] what's teh best way/tool to check a disk's reliability? [19:57] Gui_0: SMART test [19:57] ilovefairuz, will do [19:57] yesterday I could play movies with audio just fine, now I get audio in almost nothing... [19:57] Gui_0: Welcome. Do a backup Right Now. [19:57] sammy, if the it's an iso file on a cd then it should mount it fine though it'd run faster if on the harddrive, i don't think it will mount on to a cdrom itself though === ShakeyJake is now known as Jack [19:57] s/the// [19:58] ritlee: it's a usb external drive. and its not mounting there, or after copying it to the desktop. === Jack is now known as _Jack_ [19:58] !sound | Scuttle [19:58] Scuttle: 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. === _Jack_ is now known as ShakeyJake [19:58] ilovefairuz, i have but copied a wrong dir and havnt rebooted yet does that matter? [19:58] dpac_, how would i go about running a smart test? :p [19:58] boywonder: remove any lines you've added to fstab, and reboot [19:58] sammy, dajhorn: I cannot seem to change the speed on the laptop, on every speed it claims "invalid argument" [19:59] dajhorn: the file roller is the archive manager. there's an option to open it with that, and an option to open it with the 'archive mounter'. [19:59] Gui_0: sudo apt-get install gsmartcontrol [19:59] dpac_, thanks [19:59] I just swapped my ATI HD4870 with NVIDIA GTX260 (a friend's), and geez, the difference is enormous. I have A LOT better performance with this card - without a doubt the drivers (since the card itself is slower), Is this a general problem, the ATI drivers? [19:59] sammy, try this then... say the .iso is in your home dir ie; /home/sammy/myisofile.iso ... do mkdir /home/sammy/myisodir then sudo mount /home/sammy/myisofile.iso /home/sammy/myisodir [19:59] Gui_0: palimpsest [19:59] ack [20:00] glaucous: You can have ATI proprietary drivers for better performance [20:00] ChaosR: Some crappy laptops have a 100 Mbit PHY and a 1000 Mbit chipset. You almost certainly have a bad ethernet cable, a 100 mbit switch, or a 100 mbit interface. [20:00] sammy, last command should read [20:00] ilovefairuz, firstly i forgot to change the read attributes for the drive [20:00] dpac_: I did use the latest ones, yes [20:00] dpac_: ubuntu ships with palimpsest which has a SMART front end [20:00] sammy, sudo mount -o loop /home/sammy/myisofile.iso /home/sammy/myisodir [20:00] ritlee: I just decided to make sure I can mount it from the command line. works fine. [20:00] ill reboot and paste [20:01] ilovefairuz: Thats the one I was searching for him. Thanks for reminding. [20:01] sammy: The 'Archive Mounter` will make the ISO available to GNOME applications through the .gvfs interface. Software that doesn't use GNOME may not be able to recognize the mount in some circumstances. [20:01] boywonder: by default, you do NOT need to change anything to have CDs automatically mounted [20:01] sammy lol k, thats how i usually do it, 'cause i have a hard time finding it via CL when it's mounted via gui [20:01] hm, I no longer have a speaker-icon in the upper righthand corner... [20:01] ritlee: it may not appear that way, but I've been using linux for 10+ years. I was just hoping to hear someone say that I'm missing something obvious when mounting an iso from the desktop, or that its broken :P === macode is now known as macode|afk [20:01] Scuttle, lost mine about a week ago too :( [20:01] Gui_0: run palimpsest . It has a SMART frontend as well. Thanks ilovefairuz === macode|afk is now known as macode [20:01] ilovefairuz, the fstab is basically empty then === sdx24 is now known as sdx23 [20:02] is there any diff between the amd64 and i386 desktop editions ? [20:02] dajhorn: ah-ha, so the iso should appear as a mounted drive, alongside the usb external drives I have plugged in? that's what I was hoping to see. though, good to know that things that don't use gvfs interface wont be able to see it. I thought it was going to mount it as a loop device. [20:02] glaucous: Well, it seems its the driver issues then. Have you tested card's performance on windows? [20:02] boywonder: not empty but it shouldn't have cdrom lines [20:02] hi guys. i'm running try before install 10.04, and am getting "Error deleting partition ... Daemon is inhibited" when trying to delete an old ntfs partition that i want to use for ubuntu. some googling got me nowhere. any thoughts? [20:03] it doesnt [20:03] sammy: Nope. You've got a hidden $HOME/.gvfs directory, and it is kinda-sorta-mostly not a loopback mount. More like a fuse mount. [20:03] semanticpc: do you have a 32- or a 64-bit machine? [20:03] dajhorn, ahhh i knew there was a /.gvfs (couldn't remember the actual name) folder that stuff like that gets mounted to maybe i'll remember it again one of these days when i need it again :P [20:03] gah... audio has been the thing I have had the most problem with since I switched from windows to linux on my htpc...spent tens of hours deciphering this stuff... [20:03] turns out for my purposes, then, the gnome mounter wouldn't have helped me. sad that gnome's default iso mounting procedure only makes the mounted partition available to gnome and not to the entire OS. maybe that's the gap gmount-iso is meant to fill. [20:03] dpac_: Yes no problems there. What I did now is that I tried fgl_glxgears (NOT glxgears), which resulted in almost the same as my ATI card (~2k fps). [20:03] how do I reverse that ALT+TAB (so I go backwards)? ALT+SHIFT+TAB doesn't work (metacity) ... [20:03] dajhorn: yup, bad ethernet cable [20:03] ilovefairuz: 64 bit [20:04] dajhorn: replaced it, and guess what, 1000mbit [20:04] dajhorn: its not mounting there, either. .gvfs is empty. though, I assume if I were to find it there, that it would have shown up in natilus, too. [20:04] Is there any FTP client like SmartFTP? [20:04] dpac_: This means that "primitive" opengl performance was working okay. But for wine games, some composition and so on, worse. [20:04] ilovefairuz, i can tell you, i then have to remount [20:04] ChaosR: Ta-daa. :) [20:04] OpenSourcedNick: alt+shift+tab works for me [20:05] not for me, how do I set it back or what-not ? [20:05] boywonder: delete any cdrom lines, reboot and do the tail -f command again [20:05] sammy: Yes, it will be in the left-side pane of Nautilus if it is working correctly. Remember that the ISO needs to have a filesystem that Linux can usually read. If, for example, you're mounting a Blu-Ray rip, it probably won't work. [20:05] ChaosR, i like to believe in occams razor :) the simplest solution is often the best solution :P [20:05] beeb [20:05] glaucous: k [20:05] dajhorn: *nod* of course. it's iso9660 I assume. an old diablo 2 install disc iso. mounts fine from the command line, as I said. I'll go file a bug with the 'archive mounter' [20:06] OpenSourcedNick: check system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts [20:06] sammy: Hmmm. Did Diablo run on the Mac? An HFS header can confuse Ubuntu in this circumstance. [20:06] tried it, no option for reverse task switch [20:06] ilovefairuz: You might have compiz running. [20:06] OpenSourcedNick, in ubuntu you should find it through the gui go to system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts [20:07] ilovefairuz, faster fingers than me lol [20:07] doing 300mbit, probably the limit of the harddisk (I am transferring files), hurray [20:07] OpenSourcedNick: Why don't you use compiz? It has a good application switcher [20:07] dpac_: nope, i dislike it, metacity here [20:07] i need help with a real nasty broken apt, it goes about packagekit-backend-apt, which isn't properly installed and can neither be reinstalled nor removed, bbut blocking apt [20:07] ilovefairuz, brb [20:07] dpac_: it has caused probs before.... [20:07] back to work i goes [20:07] dajhorn: you say you think its confusing gnome's gvfs mounter, even though mount is having no trouble mounting the iso? that would be lame. it did run on mac- I don't know if this iso has hfs headers. [20:08] DasEi: what's the exact error you get? === PreZGN_ is now known as PreZGN [20:09] OpenSourcedNick: run gconf-editor, Apps->metacity->Global keybindings [20:09] ilovefairuz: errors on processing : /var/cache/apt/archives/packagekit-backend-apt, postinstallation errorcode (script) is 1 === eren_ is now known as ratatata [20:10] dpac_: weird, switch_windows_backward is set to Tab [20:10] DasEi: sudo apt-get purge packagekit-backend-apt && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install packagekit-backend-apt [20:11] and it's still not working :I [20:11] ilovefairuz: tried already of course, also with force/missing options or by dpkg in init 1 , no dice, currently trying to verify debsums now [20:11] tried to change it to Tab, didn't work either [20:11] that's just weird [20:12] OpenSourcedNick: log out and back in, try again [20:12] but it was already set [20:12] OpenSourcedNick: an app might have inadvertently hijacked that shortcut [20:12] or do you mean I should logout and login because I changed it from Tab to Tab ? [20:12] well, there's the bug/wishlist for not notifing me that my iso has been mounted, nevermind where. oh well. I'll file another bug. thanks, folks. [20:12] <_chun> Wonder if anyone can help me with pulseaudio forwarding? I've enabled access to local sound devices with paprefs, and I'm trying to run `PULSE_SERVER=192.168.1.3 audacious2` but the sound isn't forwarded... there's no error being given though. Any tips? [20:12] OpenSourcedNick: What if you change it to something completely different and see if it works. [20:13] OpenSourcedNick: no, i don't think key order matters [20:13] OpenSourcedNick: It should take effect immediately. [20:13] dpac_: haha works [20:13] takes effect immediately [20:13] it's just specifically alt+shift+tab that doesn't take [20:13] what gives? :I [20:13] OpenSourcedNick: Shift key is fine, right? [20:13] OpenSourcedNick: lol :D [20:13] yep [20:13] OpenSourcedNick: an app capturing it [20:14] oh where is that diabolic app [20:14] running any docks? [20:14] or launchers in general [20:14] nope [20:15] I know how to copy individual files, but how do i copy a folder and it's contents? [20:15] On a Lenovo ideapad the Wireless LAN shows up as Hard blocked and I can't figure out why. [20:15] interesting [20:15] I see that I have compiz using this [20:15] sinman: cp -R [20:15] Both BIOS and physical switches are in the right position. [20:15] at least in the config editor [20:15] not sure if that even means anything [20:15] And the light indicating wireless in is lit. [20:15] OpenSourcedNick: Quit programs one at a time and see if it works after quitting a certain app. Probably an app which has tabs. [20:15] sinman: read carefully, cp's documentation to see if you instead want -a [20:15] Operator23: flip it off and on again? [20:16] -, [20:16] OpenSourcedNick: in gconf-editor, apps->compiz->plugins->switcher->allscreens->options [20:16] dpac_: it didn't work when I restarted the PC and nothing was running [20:16] ilovefairuz: would that be cp -R [20:16] Operator23: Sometimes if I turn off all networking and restart, it works. [20:16] dpac_: yes ok in the path you showed me there's next_key and prev_key, alt tab and shift alt tab [20:16] sinman: cp -R foldername newname [20:16] ilovefairuz: tried, no dice [20:16] however both of them are written so .... that should mean that alt tab is not suppose to work either no? [20:17] lovefairuz: k thanxs === funok is now known as so0 [20:17] rainfly_x: Could you elaborate on "turn off all networking"? [20:17] <_2easy> does anyone know in which file is the info that monitor is connected or not to VGA? [20:17] Operator23: rfkill list still showing hard blocked? and pastebin: sudo lshw -C network [20:17] oh.. maybe I should just change to compiz [20:18] <_2easy> cause i want make a script that changes screen resolution and turns off the notebook screen when i connect another [20:18] <_2easy> other* [20:18] ilovefairuz, for some reason its now mounting/unmounting [20:18] OpenSourcedNick: Use compiz and disable all effects, leaving just the switcher on. [20:18] ah... why? [20:18] ilovefairuz: based on a mailing list thread I suspended and woke it up and it no longer shows as hard blocked [20:19] OpenSourcedNick: You said it caused probs, thats why :) [20:19] !who | OpenSourcedNick [20:19] OpenSourcedNick: 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 :) [20:19] oh lol [20:19] boywonder: after you removed the erroneous cdrom lines? that would be the intended behavior [20:19] dpac_: ok, plus I don't like my pc to be slower than it's already is [20:19] hi my eclipse at work (ubuntu 10.4) keeps crashing randomly are there any known workarounds? [20:20] hi every body [20:20] dpac_: is there a need for me to uninstall metacity ? [20:20] ilovefairuz, it wasnt mounting before i added those lines [20:20] i need to speedup apt-get , please help me , im new [20:20] toxictux, did you install it from synaptic? [20:20] OpenSourcedNick: No, you shouldn't install metacity [20:20] OpenSourcedNick: Uninstall* [20:20] boywonder: could have been another problem but adding those lines won't fix it [20:20] Is anybody having any issues with thunderbird in ubuntu? I'm seeing that often times I get a little slim tiny tiny window that comes up that's blank as opposed to thunderbird working appropriately. [20:20] dpac_: ok thanks [20:21] toxictux: are you using the package from the repository or downloaded one from eclipse.org? [20:21] ilovefairuz, maybe its a dodgy drive that mounts unmounts when it wants [20:21] ilovefairuz, i use the deb package from ubuntu [20:21] boywonder: could be dodge firmware, yeah [20:22] ilovefairuz, i installed pdt and subversive into it [20:22] So I downloaded a printer driver for debian and ran it through the package installer but I still don't see the driver when I try to add a new printer... [20:22] toxictux: try the one from eclipse.org and what JVM are you using? try openjd [20:22] Quick question: how do I send a python app to the background in bash without also stopping it? [20:22] ilovefairuz, why have i read a tutorial on mounting a drive using fstab if you dont do it that way, is it old or somthing? [20:22] there is no way to speed up apt-get ? [20:23] ilovefairuz: Still not working, though. I can bring up the interface but it doesn't detect any networks. [20:23] rainfly_x you tried running it with & ? [20:23] boywonder: yes that was the old way of doing things [20:23] ilovefairuz, i tried both java versions and switched them with update-java-alternatives [20:23] hidensoft: you mean download speed?

Well, why not uninstall compiz and just change the shortcut keys to use super key (windows key) + tab and super+shift+tab [20:30] toxictux: no, don't need it inside eclipse [20:30] dpac_: oh wait now I understand ! the active window doesn't show the close, maximize and minimize [20:30] dpac_: oh no, compiz looks like fun [20:30] sinman: sorry, never created a plymouth theme [20:31] OpenSourcedNick: Haha, once you get it right, it sure is. Wobbly windows is awesome :) [20:31] ilovefairuz, ok [20:31] dpac_: wait, I'm starting to see the problem [20:31] ilovefairuz: ok no problem [20:31] how can i revert changes a ppa made to my ubuntu install? === undifined_ is now known as UndiFineD [20:31] dpac_: the SHIFT key is being read as iso_prev_group [20:31] what does that mean?

[20:41] * WarrenSH is playin': Body & Soul and Fourward - The Past, The Present & The Future: Body Soul In The Mix - Comply To The Rules [02:11] [20:41] OpenSourcedNick: The best thing to do is change the keysettings to use Super key instead of alt. Its being captured by some other app (probably compiz) [20:41] i've looked in a couple of log files, and i can't see anything that implies that grub has changed at all [20:42] the /etc/default/grub looks the same [20:42] Hello [20:42] dpac_: ok, followup, how do I make it so the compiz task switcher won't popup the windows as a preview?

Just remove it. Change the keysettings in gconf-editor to use Super key instead of Alt. [20:44] hi when u apt-get how do you get all the required dependencies installed as well? [20:45] are there some flags u use? i know it kinda does it by default i thought there was something else though [20:45] dpac_: compiz has some features I'm interested so the switch itself is ok by me [20:45] mib_mib: It automatically installs the dependencies [20:45] Hi.

[21:57] I have the envy24 moniter app, but it shows nothing. All volumes are up. [21:57] libgl1-mesa-dev is already the newest version. [21:57] JohnHeikkila I rode a repository 10.04 for packages changed for me, and when I make a apt-get update the client the error occurs: [21:57] and sauerbraten isn't on playdeb anymore [21:57] But the sound devices are a bit strange, and I'm not sure that 'default' is actually pointing to this card.

Is there a way to change it so that my user has read access to all of those directories by default? [22:00] Aioros: Take a look at /etc/apt/sources.list to see about the links [22:00] Padster__: more precisely: ldconfig -p | grep -i libgl\.so [22:00] I have a usb to ide adaptor for reading ide drives, can i install ubuntu onto that harddrive with that adaptor in ubuntu? [22:00] jamalta: The "GUI" way is to alt+f2, "gksu nautilus" [22:00] libGL.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 libGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib32/fglrx/libGL.so.1 libGL.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so [22:01] JohnHeikkila: I don't want to sudo to access it, considering I want Rhythmbox to read from the other drive. [22:01] hmm. so is my link wrong? [22:01] I have a usb to ide adaptor for reading ide drives, can i install ubuntu onto that harddrive with that adaptor in ubuntu? [22:01] jamalta: My point was after you sudo nautilus, go to the folder properties and change the rights [22:01] I also tried adding it as an entry in the fstab but for some reason it doesn't like the owner= option... maybe I'm doing it wrong? [22:01] erUSUL: No muted channels. [22:01] i have a /usr/lib32/libGL.so that points to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1, which isn't there. would it work if i put it to that fglrx path? [22:01] JohnHeikkila: Oh!

[22:26] hi.. after some updates today (lucid), I am having a focus issue where I have to specially click the title bar of an app before I can navigate in that app. is this a known bug .. I can list the packages that got upgraded if that would help [22:26] Heth: the dmesg should give clues as what is happening [22:27] Cholfo: Which mouse are you using? [22:27] Oh wait nevermind it just started working. That's weird. Thanks anyway though. [22:27] erUSL: sudo update-initramfs -u : This command is for what? [22:27] I am having trouble connecting to an FTP over FTPES in terminal. Can anyone help? [22:27] JohnHeikkila, it's just a corded Logitech mini-mouse, I don't even know the particular model. [22:27] hsr: to rebuild kernel intramfs [22:27] phrantik: if you're behind nat, you'll need to turn on passive mode (PASV) [22:27] Cholfo: Okay, great that it's working now. [22:27] erUSUL: Ok I'll follow those instructions but do you think there is some way I could load my installed ubuntu. I'm getting a fatal error module not found error and the boot process just sits there. Can this be bypassed? Then I can modify the blacklist file through there. [22:27] gasm: hmm, not really any good ones. but it sounds like that's what you're trying to do... try this maybe: http://www.landley.net/writing/docs/cross-compiling.html [22:27] !initramfs [22:27] erUSUL, it just shows how it mounts md2. and doesn't try to mount md1 or md0 [22:28] r4v5 i will try that [22:28] Apparently the solution to a mouse that's being seen by lsusb but is not actually being responsive is to ask a question in IRC. Anyway, thanks again.

[22:29] is there a canonical way to build a new upstream-only version of an existing package to test a bugfix? [22:29] Padster__: what are you trying to compile?

[22:30] erUSUL, it's 2 Hard Disks, with 1 root 1 home and 1 swap partition each. when I mount them it says to mount each coresponding 2 by 2 [22:30] i got the svn and it won't work. sauerbraten doesn't work, either [22:30] can anyone suggest a terminal command which will execute a command after a certain amount of time? [22:30] hsr: you want to reset your password. follow instructions of the wiki [22:30] Heth: ahh ok [22:30] erUSUL, so it happens md0 root, md1 home, md2 swap [22:30] r4v5 would that command be ftp -p hostname ? [22:31] in the ubuntu repo pages, is there a list of dependencies maybe in a txt file?. [22:31] r4v5, maybe #ubuntu-motu would know? [22:31] Buttons840: sleep [seconds] && command [22:31] phrantik: that or just say PASV before doing it [22:31] Buttons840: or use "at" [22:31] !at [22:31] Das österreichische Team finden sie unter #ubuntu-at, deutschsprachigen Support bekommen sie auch in #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de oder #edubuntu-de.

[22:31] you can switch between the two within one transfer [22:31] quick question if anyone can help, does anyone know how to remove menu entries in xubuntu by chance? [22:32] Padster__: https://launchpad.net/~arand/+archive/redeclipse [22:32] ilovefairuz: should i use getlibs and try to get a 32 bit version, and see if that does anything? [22:32] most ftp problems are related to NAT, because ftp works by opening a back-connection from the server to the client before it transfers data unless passive mode is indicated [22:32] Padster__: check that ppa [22:33] erUSUL: thank you, i'm looking at that "at" command; does this make any long term changes, (chron schedule or anything?) or will all changes be lost when terminal closes?

[22:34] Buttons840: at will run the command no matter th terminal. [22:34] erUSUL: even after a reboot? [22:34] ilovefairuz: so i should add the ppa instead if i can't get it to work? [22:34] doug_: remove the cd from the sources.list System>Admin>software sources [22:34] erUSUL: Ok and once I have that done where will the /etc/modprobe.d folder be? [22:34] Padster__: that would be the easier path, yeah [22:34] ilovefairuz: well, it's compiling one last time, then i'll do the ppa [22:35] galcha: after the chrrot it will be in /etc/modprobe.d/ [22:35] erUSUL: Aaaah ok I thought it was only dev sys and proc that were mounted? [22:35] Buttons840: i think so yes. you want that to be a "once" operation or a periodic thing? if it is periodic you want "cron" not "at" [22:35] erUSUL, im in the software sources but how do i remove it?

[22:45] can someone tell me how to reinstall grub without pointing me to a man page [22:45] user001: yeah i can see it for a touchpad [22:45] Okay, this is an issue that I've had for a while, and I've looked around everywhere, but nobody seems to have an answer to my particular problem. [22:45] When I installed Ubuntu originally, I had two partitions on Windows XP already, C and D (D was 'unformatted', according to Windows). My plan had been to install Ubuntu on the D drive and there wouldn't be a problem (my harddrive was split roughly in half), but as soon as I got to actually installing it, I instead installed it using the space from my C drive, and giving Ubuntu way more room than it would ever need. [22:45] Well, now I'm left with a 14.5 or so GB windows partition (with only about 1 GB remaining) that I need to boot in all the time (because my USB wifi thingy isn't supported by Ubuntu, but that's a problem for another day). I've read a lot about resizing partitions, but those are mostly for making the Ubuntu partition bigger. I have a CD with a more recent version of Ubuntu now, so I'm thinking I'm going to have to delete the partit [22:45] because I used the live CD to make the Ubuntu partition smaller, but I ended up cancelling it and I haven't tried booting into it since, I think it might be corrupted (most likely it is). Either way, I found it shows a bunch of unallocated space, but it won't let me expand my Windows partition with that space, is there any way to do this without reformatting, or am I out of luck? [22:45] Soggystefan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:45] I am using 10.04 on my Dell Inspiron Laptop and I want to burn a couple of back-up DVD's, I've tried using both Brasero and Gnomebaker, but the program stops and ejects the DVD before burning.

[22:46] well, i've got to eat, but the ppa is DLing right now, i'll come back later...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:48] flopp not sure then. Sorry I have 3.5 drives that do work the NEC, but not sure as to why it will not work under Ubuntu. Have you tried to mount the drive from the command line? [23:48] Hi, I installed Ubuntu (x86 10.04 lts) earlier this evening and it doesn't seem to have installed a bootloader.

[23:50] Aviram: if there is anything listed there install it [23:50] Bubblehead, it works now, just now the floppy is making differnt noises than in windows [23:50] Many loosers, i can feel we have kings and queeens among us [23:50] flopp sudo mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy [23:50] flopp oh ok sorry was trying to remember the -t option [23:50] Thanks AndrewMC [23:50] Well, can anyone help?

[23:51] #486 [23:51] How do I make it be used? [23:51] Aviram: enable it [23:51] Bubblehead: One phone call from me and your life would be flipped upside down dude [23:51] flopp you just create it under mount or mnt your choice [23:51] How, AndrewMC ? [23:52] Aviram: when you highlight it there should be something in the bottom right to enable [23:52] AndrewMC, I only have Remove. [23:52] i am trying to use my USB headset in Ubuntu but it does not appear in audio device..only pulse audio appears..how can i enable usb headset? [23:52] DAGr8, i think you can access your windows using nautilus you will be able to pull the files from the server assuming your vmware ubuntu box is configured to connect to the network [23:52] Aviram: its already enabled then... hmm [23:52] Hi everyone. I'm having a seemingly common problem of nvidia-settings not saving the settings correctly, so my resolution is not restored when I log in. I've tried running it as a normal user and super user, saving it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf all the time (not appending), and yet it will not do what it's supposed to do. [23:53] AndrewMC, But it says not in use [23:53] Aviram: nothing about enable? [23:53] Yes, nothing, [23:53] Bubblehead, if i install, will i need to do this command every time i start ubuntu? [23:54] flopp you would create the directory with sudo mkdir /mount/floppy [23:54] vinok nautilus ? sudo apt-get install nautilus ? [23:54] Hi folks! I'm trying to find my way from scratch about sharing Evolution calendars on a LAN. I would prefer not to use the Internet for security purposes. I would like to be able to have one calendar that displays all private (non-exported), and public (exported). Any pointers on where to start? [23:54] Aviram: try the steps listed on this website: http://cybernetnews.com/install-and-enable-restricted-drivers-in-ubuntu/ [23:54] Hi everyone. I'm having a seemingly common problem of nvidia-settings not saving the settings correctly, so my resolution is not restored when I log in. I've tried running it as a normal user and super user, saving it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf all the time (not appending), and yet it will not do what it's supposed to do. [23:54] Not normally it should mount when you click on the drive under computer [23:55] hi everybody. my pc was working fine until last night. i shut it down, went to bed, and when i came back this moring, it hangs at the "GRUB loading" screen with a flashing cursor. it is ubuntu 9.10 on a 64bit processor. it rebooted after the most updates just fine. i cannot think of any changes at all that i made. i tried reinstalling grub, to avail. anyone have any idea what might cause grub to hang? [23:55] Bubblehead, ok, brb [23:55] DAGr8, no, if you have a GUI, access in places > network --- you would see the workgroup there and the name of the vmware device [23:55] Aviram: from the looks of it if you enable those things in the software sources you can enable your gfx driver [23:55] The better things i like to do is let truely talented people go way way way before useless people with monies as they say (Mostly theey arent ready to lern). I toss those out! [23:55] !ot | Hopsa [23:55] Hopsa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.
