[00:00] yes, AndrewMC . [00:00] Rev: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [00:00] tgp1994, 1 sec [00:00] vinok: Ok, thanks. [00:01] hi everyone so currently none of my windows have the option ot maximize, minimize, or close them and i cant switch between windows from the taskbar at the bottom of my screen. any fixes? [00:01] any one here know why a pc would suddenly start to hang on boot at the GRUB loading screen with a flashing cursor? [00:01] Is there any website or something where I can learn how to install the latest software with trusted repositories? For instance, I'd like to install the newsest vlc player, but for 10.04, the version that's fetching is 1.0.4. VLC is currently at its 1.1.4 version. [00:01] hi, does anyone know if gnome global menu is still continued or if there is a replacement for it? i see the last change on the codebase for global menu was done in june 2010 [00:01] good god. [00:01] quick question - I heard that Ubuntu can create file systems within NTFS partitions (http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=83312), but the 10.4 installer doesn't provide that option - or else I don't know how to find it. [00:02] i also cant resize my windows and the corners are sharp and squareish [00:02] tgp1994: when I run it now, I get a file selection window to select the xorg.conf file. if running as normal user, I get the gksudo prompt to enter the password, then it just saves. do you get any diferent behavior? [00:02] 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? [00:02] agentgasmask: Do you mean when saving it from the NVIDA X Control Panel? It will just prompt me for my password before I overwrite the config file. [00:02] GUFW Question here for configuring on Lucid Lynx...I can use Remote Desktop with GUFW disabled, but once I enable it and set rules for the one incoming IP address on port 5900 it doesn't function...I'm confused here, any ideas????? [00:02] How do i get a second drive to be avaliable on startup? [00:03] agentgasmask: Sexxi [00:03] agentgasmask: you'll need two calendars i think, but you can certainly setup a webdav server on the lan for the public calendar [00:03] K Thanks anyway AndrewMC , I'll just give up for now. [00:03] Goodnight. [00:03] !netsplit [00:03] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [00:03] 've sucessfully managed to get vinagre remote desktop working between two ubuntu systems..but as soon as i enable GUFW firewall, it won' work....For the exceptions, how do I allow only one IP address on my network to access the remote machine via port 5900? I tried putting the ip address in the to and from field and port 5900 for allowing incoming connections and that didn't work...Anybody have advice? [00:03] tgp1994: yeah, I'm just trying to see if there is any behavior changes that could lead to the problem... [00:03] agentgasmask: Thank god for that netsplit. [00:03] agentgasmask: Aww hell no... [00:04] does anyone use the deluge webui, i thik i have a permission problem [00:04] ok does anyone know why if i have firestarter and have enable ICMP filtering checked and have none of the (Allow the following ICMP packet types_) checked but my computer still replys to pings? [00:04] How do i get a second internal hard drive to be available at start up? [00:04] GUFW Question here for configuring on Lucid Lynx...I can use Remote Desktop with GUFW disabled, but once I enable it and set rules for the one incoming IP address on port 5900 it doesn't function...I'm confused here, any ideas?????

I've tried both Brasero and Gnomebaker without luck. Both programs seem to "gather" the files, but then stop and eject before burning. How can I figure out what's going wrong?

(I tried to build a deb package, not sure it'll work, but it might be worth trying) [00:42] glebihan, sure [00:43] hello guys. Just wanted to ask if chrome crashing is an issue general to ubuntu and not just me [00:43] {n8}: subconscious need to correct my spelling I guess... [00:43] <{n8}> haha [00:43] jubei: my chrome has never crashed as far as i can remember [00:43] jubei, neither did mine [00:43] sinisterstuf, ok so it's just me then ;( [00:44] jubei: sorry. are you using the stable release? [00:44] my chrome has crashed multiple times [00:44] i got rid of it [00:44] glebihan, umm.. send again pls somehow it didnt transfer [00:44] hey, does anyone know where i can find support for screenlets? [00:44] sinisterstuf, yes stable on lucid [00:44] i cant find an irc channel for them [00:44] if anyone cares, i just needed a /usr/lib/libGL.so that links to my libGL.so.1 [00:44] divertedd, done [00:44] now it runs :-D [00:44] jubei: odd, maybe try the beta then, that's what I'm on... [00:44] how can i keep from going into the #ubuntu-unregged channel, I had already registered at the link it gave [00:45] sinman: you aren't identified. Have your client identify you when you join this network [00:45] sinisterstuf, well that's hardly a solution. Users install stuff through ubuntu software center. If that version isn't stable then ... [00:45] sinisterstuf, that's unacceptable [00:45] <{n8}> yeah sinman /msg nickserv identify yourpassword [00:45] jrib: yeah i done that [00:45] jubei: oh... is that what you did? my bad. I never use the software centre... or rarely [00:46] sinman: no you didn't. As I just said, you are not identified [00:46] glebihan, i click accept the file but nothing happens?? [00:46] divertedd, http://torrent-search.sourceforge.net/pool/bomb_1.26-2_i386.deb [00:46] ALL: How do i know which window manager am I using? Thanks. [00:47] RanyAlbeg: if you are using ubuntu with effects, you are using compiz. Why? [00:47] jubei: I assume you've tried gnome's epiphany browser? probably not as featureful as chrome but pretty fast and fits in nicely with the rest of the desktop environment [00:47] sinisterstuf, no havent. Buuut... I'm kinda addicted to adblock and a few other plugins soo.. hm.. I'm not sure I could do without them [00:48] jrib: I want to write a bash script to open several windows in appropriate desktops, which will be launched by a launcher afterwards.I guess i need to know about my window manager. [00:48] <{n8}> RanyAlbeg: zenity? [00:48] glebihan, sorry.. Error: Wrong architecture 'i386' [00:49] RanyAlbeg: See the output of ps ax, since there can only be on wm running at a time like: ps ax|egrep "metacity|compiz|kwin|xfwm" [00:49] RanyAlbeg: try wmctrl... it shouldn't depend on window manager (well read the man page0 [00:49] glebihan, is it really just the missing configure file? [00:49] jubei: I know what you mean. Firefox then? [00:49] i was on gde. then i installed kubuntu. i was able to go to ubuntu and kubuntu both for some time but now whenever i run linux kubuntu automatically runs pls help [00:49] divertedd, no it's missing dependencies [00:50] :( also when i use logout. it doesnt turn off the cpu. only display is turned off :( [00:50] divertedd, and I don't get to find which ones [00:50] ffs, I followed instructions and spent the last hour downloading w32 codecs that only work with a version of libstdc++ I don't have (5 instead of 6) [00:50] ubuntu is lame ;P [00:50] glebihan, how can one find out which dependencies are missing? [00:50] sinisterstuf, yea I guess^^ But the thing is that if ubuntu puts something in it's repositories it should be stable [00:50] ariqz, what do you mean? [00:50] divertedd, that's the problem [00:50] thats not true [00:50] sinisterstuf, because the average user cannot handle all the issues like we do [00:51] anyone can help me pleaseeeeeeeeee [00:51] hi. i need help to get flash working on ubuntu. i tried the adobe site but got a message at the end stating something that said flash was virtual ? [00:51] dk12548, what is the question [00:51] dk12548: you need to wine louder [00:51] jubei: yepp, i got you. don't know why yours crashes so much, very strange... [00:51] needhelp, PM me [00:51] wine loader:O what is that [00:51] sergeant_, the instructions were for a previous version of ubuntu I gather so the deb package I downloaded was for a different version of libstdc++ [00:51] needhelp: 32 or 64bit [00:51] needhelp, sergeant_: please try to keep support discussion in the channel [00:51] i was on gde. then i installed kubuntu. i was able to go to ubuntu and kubuntu both for some time but now whenever i run linux kubuntu automatically runs pls help [00:52] glebihan, i read the readme and also the manual from the sourcecode but i couldnt find anything particular [00:52] :( also when i use logout. it doesnt turn off the cpu. only display is turned off :( [00:52] whats a good ubuntu mail server that a newbie can configure properly so people dont hack me to death :) [00:52] glebihan, maybe you can find a clue in there? [00:52] thus, I wasted forever downloading the wrong package because ubuntu needs a new crappy version every 6 months [00:52] javatexan: read the server guide at help.ubuntu.com... exim is nice... [00:52] divertedd, same thing for me, the odd thing is that the quicktime.h file should be in libquicktime [00:52] ariqz: do you have a support question? [00:52] k.thanks [00:53] RanyAlbeg: if you have compiz-config settings manager installed you can open it up, go to effects>window decorations and see your window decorator under Command: [00:53] hi, glebihan :) [00:53] when using Chromium with the totem plugin where is media cached.. I have already checked /tmp/ and /home/user/.cache/chromium/cache/ [00:53] jrib, you could tell me how to install libstdc++5 when it's not listed in the package manager, assuming it doesn't have a million other dependencies of its own [00:53] dk12548, hi [00:53] so the first time i tried ubuntu yesterday after years of total windows obedience. so my issue is wanting to get flash to work with firefox. i will wait patiently for a kind hand.

Is there a way to use it to open for example: firefox in desktop number 3 ? [00:55] I was on topic and complaining. I explained my situation, and since I don't know the details, the best way to go about it was not clear to me. I could 1. spend forever downloading the other deb package, or 2. get the dependency for this one, and I don't know which is the best choice because I don't know what sort of dependency hell I'm running into [00:55] i have tried to install flash already sinisterstut [00:56] ariqz: ask a question, INSTEAD of complaining [00:56] my complaint had a nested question :) And i'm sick of everything going wrong with ubuntu. it's annoying that I constantly have to mess with nonsense [00:56] needhelp, Honestly just install restricted extras and you'll be fine [00:57] ariqz: anyway I doubt anyone has any clue what your issue is (I certainly don't). Take 2 minutes to collect your thoughts and ask your question on ONE line, providing relevant logs, commands, etc. in a pastebin [00:57] ALL: I see that U'm using compiz as wm. Is there a way to use it in a script to open for example: firefox in desktop number 3 ? [00:57] RanyAlbeg: You can use Place Windows in ccsm to have firefox start on any vp and I think you might be able to do it with wmctrl [00:57] ariqz: if it's that bad then switch distros. no point in not being happy. [00:57] RanyAlbeg, yes one sec [00:57] thank you guys.

[01:02] when there is not space and i push backspace, ubuntu did a dog sound, or water sound, , where can i change it? [01:02] zetheroo, This is the Ubuntu support channel [01:02] any idea why blank dvds are showing up as 1.4gb in 10.04 [01:02] glebihan, so if i found someone with same architecture as my computer and he compiles the code for me, i can run it? [01:02] Paddy_NI: I know ... is there a way to change that in Ubuntu? [01:03] divertedd, well, I may have found the solution [01:03] Paddy_NI should i now restart firefox now that the restricted package has been installed? [01:03] glebihan, oh [01:03] needhelp, oh yes certainly [01:03] glebihan, wanna share?

[01:11] doug__: press ctrl-h [01:12] jrib, i did, i still do not see it there [01:12] doug__: then create it (or tell us what you want to accomplish) [01:12] jrib, i was trying to put curser themes into the folder off of gnomelook.org but the folder is not there for me to extract the folder into it. [01:13] doug__: k [01:14] jrib, any ideas? or should i just create the folder but that wont tell gcurser where to look for the themes if i do. [01:15] doug__: just create the folder. I'm assuming you read somewhere they belong there in which case I don't see why you're worried about where gcursor looks [01:15] jrib, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-343748.html [01:16] Hello. I am attempting to use wget -m to copy an entire site. However I am not able to get anything before index.html. Any suggestions? [01:16] jrib, for the themes to work it has to go into that folder which gcurser has to beable to see and use. [01:16] how would you partition a hdd to dual boot or triple boot 2 or 3 different linux distro? you can send me a private message explaining the setup of the partitions [01:16] doug__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy#Mouse Cursor Themes [01:17] doug__: always prefer official docs to forum posts from 2007 [01:17] hey, I managed to (I think) get a list of all the dependencies using apt-rdepends and saved it in a file, any idea how I can download all those now? [01:18] I have a really somewhat complicated question. Lexmark only offers the drivers for my computer in i386 format, but my laptop runs ubuntu 10.04.1 amd64 [01:18] bastidrazor: hey, I managed to (I think) get a list of all the dependencies using apt-rdepends and saved it in a file, any idea how I can download all those now? [01:18] is there a way to install the drivers so that linux automatically runs it in some sort of compatibility mode? [01:18] how do i format a new hdd in ubuntu 10.04? [01:18] jrib, im used to ubuntu feisty this ubuntu is all new to me and has alot of updated stuff i am not used to [01:18] I installed 10.04 (32-bit) on a system w/ 10 GB RAM. The BIOS sees 10 GB, but 'free -mt' shows total mem as 2003. Is this because its 32-bit? [01:18] Jp82191: using the GPartEd tool System>Administration>gparted [01:18] JP82191: synaptic look for gparted, install it, then go to system->admin->gparted [01:18] dwayne, yeah probably' [01:19] sergeant_, thanks [01:19] !pae | dwayne [01:19] dwayne: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [01:19] Jp82191: if it isn't installed open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install gparted [01:19] installing now using terminal [01:19] feel silly for asking this... but i lost the ability to single click and rename files in gnome (2.30.2) doesn't seem to be any options in mouse settings, don't know where to look [01:20] Jp82191: cool, shouldn't take long [01:20] hoosiers_83: what kind of mouse do you have? 1 button, 2 button, scrolling, trackpad, what? [01:20] sinisterstuf: ok install and app is running [01:20] Jp82191: select the hdd you want to format from the dropdown list at the top right [01:21] ok [01:21] 5 button, logitech mx518 [01:21] thank you jrib didnt know about that. [01:21] Jp82191: right-click the partition you want to work on and choose Format, pick a format and other options and click ok [01:21] you can single click to rename? Odd... [01:21] Hi, anyone has some info on how to install the sun java development kit to ubuntu? [01:21] Jp82191: click apply, then wait for it to finish ;) [01:21] well i mean, single click, the name highlights and i can edit [01:22] bitreader: have you tried Netbeans? [01:22] Paddy_NI, thanks! [01:22] sinisterstuf: but to what drive extension do i pick? i want to be able to use it as a data drive for ubuntu 10.04 [01:22] hey guys...i'm having trouble setting my hostname. i edited /etc/hostname to contain the host but not domain, then edited /etc/hosts to have my ip and FQDN, then ran /etc/init.d/hostname restart ...'hostname' returns the host (not FQDN) but 'hostname -f' fails, as does 'domainname' ...anybody know what Im missing? [01:22] dwayne: Why did you install 32 bit? For 10 GIG 64 bit really is the way to go. [01:22] dwayne, no probs [01:22] Quick question - what program do I need to install to burn a CD from a set of files? [01:22] sinisterstuf, that's exactly what I'm going to install. Yet, I was recommended to do it with the .sh from the netbeans website instead of the ubuntu packages. [01:22] Jp82191: you can use ext2 for that [01:22] yaaar: pastebin /etc/hosts [01:23] Viking667: Brasero comes with Ubuntu, and you can also do it directly from nautilus (the default file manager in Ubuntu). [01:23] sinisterstuf: and it would be avaliable right after booting? [01:23] Hello everybody, I've installed pure-ftpd an configured a virtual account exactly as in the help docs but I still get a 530 Login authentication failed. I did update the database and so on.. [01:23] Viking667: Brasero is already installed, find it in the apps menu [01:23] ugh. I didn't see a "Burn to CD" entry in my Nautilus. [01:23] ANd no it's not - I'm just installing it now [01:23] help [01:24] Jp82191: um... sure. you might need to add it to the computer's fstab and add a folder on there that is owned you. if that sounds complicated i can help. [01:24] Right. Thanks [01:24] lexmark only offers x86 drivers, but i need an x86-64 driver. Is there some sort of compatibility mode i can force on it? [01:24] jrib: the only change to the default file is one line at the bottom containing "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX host.domain.com" [01:25] Viking667: odd, what Ubuntu do you have? Mine is installed by default under Sound & Video or something [01:25] sinisterstuf: i would appreciate the help since I don't know what i'm doing. [01:25] Viking667: To burn a data CD from nautilus you drag files to the blank CD icon (which only exists when you have a blank CD in the drive). [01:25] bitreader: I don't remember what I did. I probably installed it with synaptic, works fine. [01:26] Brasero is part of a default installation [01:26] anyone some experiance with pure-ftp? [01:26] Jordan_U, I don't have a good answer for that. The 64-bit discs I made kept ending up corrupted (even burned at the slowest speed on different machines) and I really wanted to get something on the system, so I used what I had (8.10/32-bit) and upgraded to 10.04. I'm gonna redo it w/ 64-bit. [01:26] unless you use netbook edition [01:26] Viking667: interesting, i've never done that [01:26] yaaar: make sure 127.0.1.1 has the fqdn too [01:26] ah [01:26] dwayne: thats why i tend to make usb installer flash drives these days [01:26] ok [01:27] Please help me... [01:27] yaaar: that's what the installer did for me anyway [01:27] rallias: with a printer first thing to do is check the cups.org site to see what it says about the printer [01:27] Dr_Willis, I just bought a 4 GB flash drive to try that. This channel is very helpful, thanks guys! [01:28] what was that ubuntu irc redirect about... spammers? [01:29] scott_ino: yes [01:29] Dr_Willis: It doesn't list my printer. [01:29] jrib, must have been pretty bad recently ;) [01:29] * jrib nods === jasonb_ is now known as jasonb [01:31] how do i find out my computer architecture? [01:31] guess i wasn't clear. when i click a file in gnome, and hover over the filename, it would usually allow me to rename the file. now that function vanished. just a simple quirk i want to correct [01:31] drivertedd: what year did you buy the computer? [01:31] divertedd: look up your processor on google? [01:32] i had a little question about audio, if anyone had a second :D [01:32] type away... [01:33] I have an Alienware desktop, and i just finally got around to shoving Ubuntu onto the computer (it has vista home premium on it) [01:33] papertreeprophet, just ask ;) [01:34] can someone with a amd athlon 64 x2 dual core 3800+ compile a source file for me so i have a deb file? [01:34] divertedd: what do you need? [01:34] One little thing i loved about my computer in windows is, when i plug my headphones in on the front audio jacks, it would automatically divert the audio from the speakers to the headphones [01:34] is there a way to do that with ubuntu? [01:34] papertreeprophet: doesn't it allready? [01:34] rallias, i want to compile a source but i cant get it to work [01:34] divertedd: what program? [01:35] papertreeprophet, it should do that, otherwise it's a bug or something else going on [01:35] rallias, bomb 1.26 for viewing fractals [01:35] rallias, http://draves.org/bomb/bomb-1.26.tar.gz [01:35] yea no sound at all through the headphones [01:36] divertedd: i'll try [01:36] sinisterstuf: apt-get them with the --download-only option [01:36] rallias, thx [01:37] hmm wouldnt be a bug in the new beta would it? I forgot to say I was running 10.10 [01:37] papertreeprophet, ahhh.. well that could certainly be why [01:37] hey, is there anybody here who knows something of pure-ftp? [01:37] bastidrazor: cool, i'll give it a try, thanks! [01:38] divertedd: is the problem one with extraction? [01:38] paddy_ni your suggestion worked. flash works now. you are my hero. take me as your disciple of linux now! [01:38] rallias, no its one with compiling [01:39] rallias, i already extracted it but when i try to make install, i get errors [01:39] needhelp, lol [01:39] email me a copy of the tarball you have. robinstar1574@gmail.com [01:39] When giving my addy at Ubuntu Forum register.

[01:58] i followed this guide, http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ but every folder on my linux side is empty nothing is showing in them. [01:58] divertedd: with the .deb file I can modify a small bit to work for your computer. [01:59] i think [01:59] hey guys guess what my usb drive is dead [01:59] drunkncrew: i think the -d is shorthand for an IF statement .. but unsure. [01:59] serit: grats time to go get a new one [01:59] rallias, http://torrent-search.sourceforge.net/pool/bomb_1.26-2_i386.deb [01:59] what do people think of amazon's new microinstances?

[02:07] LOL [02:07] i followed this guide, http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ but every folder on my linux side is empty nothing is showing in them. [02:07] thx [02:07] this here is for colonel panic [02:07] kernel not colonel [02:08] ... [02:08] rallias: i seem to recall a command line option to force the install in the case. [02:08] rallias: i had to use it once ages ago.. for some perl stuff/script [02:08] so I cant get my usb drive to work [02:08] any ideas? [02:08] my humor is wasted. anyway [02:09] serit: try reformatting it [02:09] serit: clarify whats 'not working' about it.. can yopu mount it by hand? [02:09] Dr_Willis: can u help me? [02:09] serit: does dmesg show anything after you plug it in [02:09] Dr_Willis: What format do i compress it to? [02:09] rallias: totally depends on the issue.. and i got 20 min till i go to work. [02:09] rallias: format to compress what? [02:10] the debian_versian, control.tar.gz, and data.tar.gz [02:10] On Ubuntu, having received a file over bluetooth, WHERE IS IT in the filesystem? [02:10] CaneToad: Probibilly in /tmp somewhere [02:11] CaneToad: i recall some Bluetooth Incomming directory.. somewhere.. [02:11] CaneToad: Or /media [02:11] rallias: ok but if I reformat is ??? [02:11] CaneToad: try ~/Downloads or ~/Public [02:11] hmm it is in ~ [02:11] serit: all data is gone [02:11] CaneToad: yes. it would be in the users home somwehere.. /tmp and /media - would not make sence [02:11] thanks folks [02:12] CaneToad: i was thinking the bluetooth applet had a menu for settings to where to save things to [02:12] but I have no BT on this box. so i cant double check right now [02:12] Dr_Willis: How do i re-pack the .deb? [02:12] rallias: ok but will it be usable in windows? [02:13] serit: yes. Just select fat or fat32 or ntfs [02:13] rallias: Never needed to. last time i needed to alter the contents of a .deb i used 'mc' to browse the contents and add/edit/remove things [02:13] oh. [02:14] rallias: ok thanks [02:15] dwhatsurname: sorry i can't help [02:15] how do I find file from older than a yr 2009 ? [02:15] axisys: what file? [02:16] find /dir -type f -mtime +365 wont really work [02:16] rallias: so I should just refomat it [02:16] rallias: ^ [02:16] serit: if there isn't any important data [02:17] rallias: so basically i need help with `find' .. to find files that are older than yr 2009 ? [02:17] axisys: there haven't been more then 365 days this year yet... try find /dir -type f -mtime +200d [02:17] hey all. i'd like to fill my SD card with random music - all the music is in a central location, what's the best way to do it? [02:17] axisys: if you know part of the name you can do a 'locate *partname*.*' if that returns too much you can grep it, or use cat if you know part of the contents of hte file.. could take a while though [02:17] arrrghhh: drag and drop [02:17] axisys, -mtime n [02:17] File's data was last modified n*24 hours ago. See the comments [02:17] for -atime to understand how rounding affects the interpretation [02:17] of file modification times. [02:17] Vonor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:17] rallias: looking for a way to ask in a more specific way [02:18] rallias, uhm... that wouldn't work at all. i have 100+gb of music and an 8gb sd card... [02:18] suppose i hit ctrl alt f2... how do i get away from that screen?? [02:18] Vonor: i know.. but i dont want to count.. if i can avoid it.. i like to ask give me all files older than yr 2009 .. [02:18] arrrghhh: how? [02:18] rallias: well Its a second drive [02:18] diverted: press ctrl alt F7 to get back to the graphical terminal [02:18] rallias, i wouldn't get very _random_ selection of music then would i... [02:18] sinisterstuf, thank you! [02:18] diverted: ctrl alt F1 to F6 are all tty terminals, F7 is your x session [02:19] diverted: you're welcome [02:19] diverted: the f1 -6 keys go to the console 1-6 NORMALLY X is running on '7' but ive seen it also run on 8 or 9 or hither. [02:19] Doyle: i know that.. but i think find can be used to ask a question of get me all files older than 2009 [02:19] axisys: ah, you said 'a' file [02:19] diverted: there are seven virtual terminals, usually info about what's gone on during boot and so on is in tty1 and the x server is started in tty7 [02:20] and how do i log in there? i never set a password other than my sudo.. but this one wasnt accepted [02:20] Hi all! I have a bootable floppy image that I want to expand from 1.44M to 2.88M while preserving its bootablility. How do I do this? [02:20] also i dont remember any particular login name [02:20] !pastebin [02:20] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:21] Doyle: my bad.. [02:21] axisys: yea, then it has to be 'find / -mtime +[numofdays]' it's fast too... you can send the output to a text file if you want [02:21] rallias: thanks for that information [02:22] i am getting some errors trying to install webmin (package dependancy) errors here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/491342/ what is easiest way to fix this? [02:23] can someone with a lot of patience help me install a program? [02:23] !webmin [02:23] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [02:23] I tried loop mounting floppy.img and then using gparted on /mnt, but that didn't seem to work. [02:23] Doyle: i rather not count the days.. so I can run it any day [02:24] axisys: google date calculator, it'll count the days between specific dates [02:24] the program comes in tar.gz but i dont know how to run it [02:24] axisys: if you want something that you can run daily without modification you'll have to write a bash script. [02:25] diverted: you need to extract the program from the tar.gz file. tar -zxf tarname.tar.gz [02:25] dsnyders, i already did that. i put it into /usr/local/src [02:25] whats the best program to test my ssd read/write speed? [02:26] dsnyders, then i tried to run "sudo make install but i dont know how to run the program now" [02:26] dsnyders, im not even sure if i actually installed it that way [02:26] I'm seriously embarassed at the waste of time I've caused to the geologists (in the middle of an earthquake, evn) because I assumed my Ubuntu 8.04 system could doo advanced stuff like open a web browser from an application. [02:26] dsnyders, how can i check if i installed the program correctly? [02:26] how to install jdk in ubuntu? [02:26] dk12548: check the wiki [02:27] Blancmange: maybe you should update to 10.04 that is over 2 years old. [02:27] diverted: It's been a while. I usually apt-get install things. What is the program? [02:27] dsnyders, its nothing from official repositories [02:28] anyone know how to fix package dependancy problems? [02:28] dsnyders, i got it from that link: http://draves.org/bomb/bomb-1.26.tar.gz [02:28] maybe songbird does it... i was hoping for a command i could pass that would fill my card with random music awesomness... [02:28] dsnyders, if i navigate into the extracted folder and type "checkinstall" i only get some basic text === oracle_ is now known as oracle [02:29] Blue1: I intend to try that, but I prefer to use a tried and tested system. 10.4 was a mess when it first came out and it's only recently been stabilised. [02:30] diverted: is there a file called bomb in the folder? === f23 is now known as Wolf23 [02:30] Blancmange: YMMV applies [02:30] dsnyders, wohooo i think i got it!! [02:30] ok guys i have an issue on my windows partiton and ubuntu partition, im on ubuntu i can read/write /open files on my ntfs, but on my windows 7 i can not read/write/open files on my ubuntu partition, i have tried several readers and some do work where i can actually see the folders but there is nothing in the folders they are empty anyone got any other ideas? if my ubuntu was ext 3 or ext 2 i could read/write to them but its ext 4 [02:31] I've backed up the machine anyway, so I guess I can afford to try reinstalling OSSs/distros until I find one that works (and can open web pages from apps). [02:31] dsnyders, i got the deb file now and i already installed it! [02:31] Dwade09, it's best to just share stuff on the NTFS side.... your windows partition. just create a shortcut on the desktop to your windows desktop or something. [02:31] dsnyders, but what next? how do i execute it? [02:32] * Blancmange goes for the nuclear option and tries 10.04... [02:32] arrrghhh, make a shared folder i keep the data in that the linux and windows can both see and share? with read/write/use? [02:32] diverted: not sure. is there a file called bomb in the folder? [02:32] Hi, folks. Does anyone know the status of EFI support (for my MacBook Pro) with Karmic? The page on MacTel EFI support hasn't been updated in over a year and I couldn't find any other similar resources. [02:32] Has anyone had any luck at rebuilding ACPI/DSDT tables for a laptop in Ubuntu? [02:32] Dwade09, you don't want windows writing to your linux partitions, TRUST ME on that one. [02:33] ubuntu 10.04 -- why is it reporting blank dvd -r as 1.4 gb [02:33] dsnyders, yes but when i click on it nothing happens [02:33] arrrghhh, then how do i do it where they can share the same stuff and both can read/write to it and use it inside that folder? [02:33] Dwade09, but yes, you can create a shortcut to your windows desktop or something like that on your ubuntu desktop then you have a location both sides can see/access/write. [02:33] dsnyders, if i run "sudo bomb" in terminal i get: bomb: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:34] arrrghhh, how do i do that? [02:34] Dwade09, or you can do a bind mount, but that's kinda overkill. [02:34] Dwade09: I usually make a FAT32 partition to store data and such in and keep Win/Lin install space from ever directly touching each other. [02:34] Dwade09, do you know how to find the windows drive in the 'places' menu? [02:34] whats the next step after i executed a .deb file? [02:34] snlemons, i would but space is limited for a fat32 partition. [02:34] how do i run the program? [02:34] snlemons, fat32 is awful. what if he has a file over 4gb? [02:34] arrrghhh, im not in ubuntu i am in windows right now. [02:35] Dwade09, :D boot back to ubuntu please! [02:35] arrrghhh, ok brb [02:35] arrrghhh: Well, when they make proper EXT support for Windows or proper NTFS support for Linux, I'll use one of those. But every time I've tried one or the other it's been SUPER buggy. [02:35] I am having an issue with startup disk creator [02:35] diverted: you install the deb.. then type the name of whatever program/binaries it installed to run them from teh command line [02:36] snlemons, the only issue i had with accessing ntfs on linux was processor overhead... [02:36] It will not detect my dvd writer. It was at first [02:36] but then I tried to make sure I had the right disk selected and it disappeared [02:36] diverted, what did you install? sometimes it'll place an icon in your applications menu, but not always... [02:36] any better alternatives to empathy? [02:37] arrrghhh: I got a lot of read/write errors when I last used it. That scared me off pretty well. [02:37] Dr_Willis, so the program is called "bomb", i type bomb but i get: bomb: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:37] snlemons, ...when did you last use it? [02:37] diverted: looks like some of the support libs it wants are not installed. [02:37] hey so In not in ubuntu? [02:37] Dr_Willis, how do i find out what libraries i need? [02:37] arrrghhh, ok im in linux now what? [02:37] arrrghhh: 6 months or a year ago. So maybe things have changed, but I doubt much in that time range. [02:37] Did Ubuntu ship the new driver that hangs several intel graphics chips? [02:38] doug__, ok, do you know how to access your windows hard drive from ubuntu? [02:38] oh wait maybe it was detecting my sd card [02:38] diverted: I have to wonder why installign the deb did not pull them in. Could be its a different version in ubuntu and thats the issue [02:38] !info libpng [02:38] Package libpng does not exist in lucid [02:38] Dr_Willis, libpng.so.2 is the library i need? [02:38] arrrghhh, gah yeah but it should auto mount [02:38] diverted: yes. libpng [02:38] snlemons, huh. i used it probably 8 months ago maybe - heavily. the processor overhead bugged me. [02:38] !find libpng.so [02:38] it was [02:38] File libpng.so found in compiz-dbg, compiz-plugins, ia32-libs, libpng12-dev, libpng3 [02:38] Hi all! How do I resize a floppy image? [02:38] Dr_Willis, well can i get it manually somehow? [02:38] doug__, you'll have to add an entry in /etc/fstab if you want it to automount... it should mount if you click it from the 'places' menu tho... [02:38] diverted: the bot just stated its in the libpng3 package. === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [02:39] Dr_Willis, how do i install that library? [02:39] axisys, ping? [02:39] diverted: install the libpng3 package. [02:39] arrrghhh, ok its mounted [02:39] manually edited sources.list to move to a more recent debian repo (lenny); major problems. changed sources back to sarge but there is something out of sync. how can i repopulate the database, even if i have to reload all pkgs? [02:39] doug__, but, you should add an fstab entry if you want it to be there on bootup (which i would recommend) [02:39] Dr_Willis, umm yea im willing to do so.. but how? [02:39] Hi all. How can I get rid of all entries from nautilus when I right click on the desktop? (I want it to function normally everywhere else, just not on the desktop) [02:40] well ok then [02:40] Dr_Willis, sudo apt-get libpng3 ? [02:40] How do I go about disabling a network adapter, such that NetworkManager does not attempt to connect using it on startup? [02:40] hmm seems i need a vid driver too [02:40] diverted: via the package manager tools you like to use.. are you trying to do some 'advanced' stuff befor learning the fundamentals of the package manager system? [02:40] doug__, ok. now it's up to you where you want to share. i'd put a folder on your windows desktop, so navigate to that, and create a new folder called 'Ubuntu share' or whatever. [02:40] Why won't the startup disk creator detect the dvd? [02:40] diverted: sudo apt-get install whatever [02:40] I'm looking for a way to change the 'connector' option in System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Output from command line in Karmic. Anyone know how to do this? [02:41] exit [02:41] Dr_Willis, E: Couldn't find package libping3 [02:41] AegNuddel: could be a link in /dev/XXXX is wrong. like /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd [02:41] axisys, a quick and dirty hack...I am sure it is possible to do it WAY more elegant than this, but it does work: for FILE in $(find /home -type f) ; do if [ $(ls -l $FILE | awk '{print $8}') -le 2009 ]; then echo $FILE; fi; done 2>/dev/null [02:41] the folder shows [02:41] diverted: spell it properly [02:41] Dr_Willis, yea just figured [02:41] ok arrrghhh made a folder called shared [02:42] Dr_Willis, how do I check it? Nautilus is detecting it fine btw [02:42] any apt experts? i need to fall back to a prior version from lenny to sarge; how can i force apt to do this? [02:43] AegNuddel: I normally use ISO image files. ive rarely used a optical disk. run the tool from the command line, perhaops it will show an error message. see what /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd are linked to [02:43] Hi all! How do I expand a floppy image? [02:43] rambo2_981: this is #ubuntu, not #debian [02:43] is anyone familiar with libpng.so.2 ? [02:43] dsnyders: expand it to what? [02:43] Dr_Willis, what tool do you mean? [02:43] anyone have issue with their usb mouse in ubuntu 10.04? [02:43] i need it for a program but its not included in libpng3 [02:43] xangua, as if ubuntu has no relation to debian whatsoever? [02:43] usb is still unstable [02:43] AegNuddel: the usb-disk-creator tool or whatever its binary is called [02:44] Dr_Willis: I have a 1.44M boot floppy image and I would like to expand it to 2.88M [02:44] I don't know the binary name [02:44] git__: works fine here [02:44] diverted: the program may been compiled to use an older version of the Lib. You may need to recompile from source to use the newer. or track down the older lib and install it. [02:45] AegNuddel: using TAB completion - it seems to be usb-creator-gtk [02:45] dsnyders: don't you have to have a special drive for a 2.88 flop ? [02:46] dsnyders: easy way would be to make a 2.88 flippy image. and mount the image, and your old disk image, and copy the files over. [02:46] greezmunkey: this is going to be used as a PXE boot option. [02:46] ok that opens it [02:46] but ive not used floppys or floppy images in years.. so i cant recall the commands to make them [02:46] but how do I find out the links? [02:46] Dr_Willis>> lol geezz havnen't seen in ages lol [02:46] AegNuddel: ls -l /dev/cdrom (or dvd, or dvdrw) or whatever its trying to use [02:47] Dr_Willis: copying the files will not preserve the bootablility, will it? I thought certain files needed to be in certain sectors. [02:47] dsnyders: see if this helps: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/DOS_floppy_images [02:47] mobasher: last floppy i saw was IN a pc.. literally.. it was in the case. with no access.. with a floppy disk in it. must of been in there for years.. [02:47] greezmunkey: thanks. I'll take a gander [02:47] Dr_Willis>> lmao...i know what you mean i must have one of those in my basement somewhere [02:48] dsnyders: don't bother, mostly DOS info!! [02:48] Dr_Willis, notihng is happening. Only nautilus seems to detect it [02:49] Also do you know if Ubuntu will boot from an SD Card? [02:49] AegNuddel: with sd cards.. its often the PC/bios that can or can not boot from SD card. My old Netbook could NOT boot from SD. [02:49] ubuntu boots from usb fine [02:49] ok [02:49] dsnyders: check this out! http://www.linux-boot.net/Boot/FD/ [02:50] AegNuddel: theres also ways to use grub2 and setup a usb device to boot an iso image. :) thats what ive been doing lately [02:50] Is there another way to write the ISO to the DVD? [02:50] AegNuddel: clarify what you are doing exactly.... [02:50] Writing the ISO for Ubuntu to a DVD [02:50] what does "sudo ln ......." do? [02:51] diverted, execute the ln command as root [02:51] AegNuddel: you are burning a cd iso file.. to a blank DVD.. You would not use the usb-disk-creator tool for that.. [02:51] Vonor, what does the ln command do then? [02:51] Dr_Willis, it just said create startup disk [02:51] AegNuddel: you normally right click on the iso, and select burn, or use brasero, or k3b or some other burning app to write a image to a optical disk [02:51] ln - make links between files [02:51] AegNuddel: it means create a USB boot startup disk. [02:51] ah thanks [02:51] ok, so I have a computer sitting infront of me that consists of a mobo, a cpu, a graphics card and a cd drive, I had two tuner cards in it and a hard drive with mythbuntu installed, but for some reason, shortly after this I can no longer boot the damned thing, the live CDs no longer have the recovery option so I have little to go on as to why this is happening. [02:51] diverted, man ln for more information :) [02:51] AegNuddel: not an optical disk [02:52] Dr_Willis, thanks [02:52] AegNuddel, cdrecord file.iso [02:52] I thought just doukle clicking on an iso alwo brought up the disk burner program [02:53] If I drag it to Nautilus, will it write what is in the iso or actually put the iso on the disk as a whole? [02:54] greezmunkey: thanks. I am actually looking to create a DOS bootable floppy image. [02:54] AegNuddel: USE a 'burner' application. such as brasero, or k3b. or others.. Right click on the ISO - see if theres a Burn/write to disk option [02:54] Does anyone know the status of EFI support (so I don't have to maintain multiple partitions and OSes on my MacBook Pro)? The only page I can find that explicitly discusses it basically said it was only partially supported and that page hasn't been updated in a year. [02:54] !macbook [02:54] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:55] still need to get one from the repository then [02:55] AegNuddel: brasero is installed by default [02:55] One more quick question for tonight [02:55] says I have brasero installed [02:55] huh [02:55] after a restart for some reason, the workspace switcher applet on the bottom bar is no longer working [02:55] Is that what is showing up then> [02:55] !info Brasero [02:55] Package Brasero does not exist in lucid [02:55] AegNuddel, easiest way: open terminal and type "cdrecord FILE.iso" or "dvdrecord FILE.iso", replace FILE.iso with the actual filename [02:56] !info brasero [02:56] brasero (source: brasero): CD/DVD burning application for GNOME.

[02:57] ah [02:57] hmm [02:57] looking for my file [02:57] I installed w32 codecs and I still can't watch .wmv files === y0sh__ is now known as y0sh_ [02:57] ariqz: it totally depemndsd on the codec of the wmv file. [02:58] ariqz: theres also some 'malware' wmv codecs. that you dont want. :) [02:58] ok it's going [02:58] was just confused [02:58] http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/ I got it from there, Dr_Willis [02:58] ariqz>> download and install VLC [02:59] ariqz: its more about the codec of the wmv.. not where you got the w32codecs package from [02:59] 'its all about the codec' not the extension. [02:59] Dr_Willis, the wmvs played fine in 8.04 [02:59] ariqz: try some otehr players then perhaps. [02:59] Dr_Willis, it is only now that I have 10.04 that nothing works right [02:59] ariqz>> you will find it in the synaptic [03:00] how can i restart firefox? [03:00] I shouldn't have to fucking get VLC to play a wmv. Christ, ubuntu is terrible [03:00] I installed open office base with synaptic, and it won't launch. Anyone have an idea what is the problem? [03:00] ariqz: determine the codec its using perhaps with ffprobe, or run it in vlc from a terminal, and look for info, or check the properties dialogs. [03:00] * Dr_Willis sends ariqz the bill [03:01] lmao...what a dumb looser..what's such a big deal about playing wmv..lmao [03:01] 'wmv = let it be' 'friends dont let friends use wmv's' [03:01] every wmv ive seen people wanting to play are either porn, or worse. [03:01] Dr_Willis: too funny [03:01] use another player...he's probablly trying to play a porn vid [03:01] lmao [03:02] mobasher: i would bet on it. [03:02] Dr_Willis, home computers are porn machines after all. So it is not an unreasonable request. [03:02] no wonder he got annoyed..lmao...he couldn't get his winky up lmao [03:02] mv foo.wmv foo.avi :) [03:02] ariqz, VLC is the best. It plays everything including that macintosh stuff. You just have to run the medibuntu scripts. Why wouldn't you want VLC? It's the best! [03:02] incognito>> he's gone dude [03:02] incognito: he wouldent have listend anyway [03:03] Once you start geting to the 'varity' of videos out there.. you realize that WMP and windows.. have.. issues.. :) [03:04] hey I dont fit [03:04] always the codecs...i never had problems with VLC so far..it's a good one [03:04] well, I've never had issues with them [03:04] thanks to Vonor .. now have a very simple way to find files older than 2009 [03:04] touch -t 200812312359 file ; find . -type f -not -newer file -ls [03:04] VLC is the best. [03:04] I really dread it at work when people bring me a flash drive saying they cant play this 'video' they got... [03:05] Hi my ssh connection fails, I'm not sure if there's missing somehting in the hosts.deny etc... file http://pastebin.com/FAi96aL9 [03:05] andyBB, I'm gonna save your file for a template. Thanks [03:05] I'm looking for a way to change the 'connector' option in System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Output from command line in Karmic. Anyone know how to do this? [03:06] guys, my ubuntu (10.4) is completely messed up ... it hangs when it wants ... also, I just run a md5sum twice on the same file, and it returned 2 different sums [03:06] andyBB>> have you tried to connect locally ? [03:06] incognito: huh? [03:06] mobasher: yes, local connecitons are ok [03:06] andyBB lol save me some work [03:07] oke.. one more try: i need that libpng.so.2 file. there doesnt seem to be one, so i went into synaptic package manager and downloaded libpng3. then i renamed the file like this: "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2". still my program doesnt work. WHY!! [03:07] incognito: can you please remove the address information [03:07] andyBB>> have you checked the ports ? [03:07] help! what do i type on terminal to restart firefox? [03:07] andyBB>> i mean router ? [03:07] andyBB of course I'm not interested in that. [03:07] hey can you let me into ubuntu? [03:07] mobasher: yes, ssh is open on the machine - not a port issue [03:08] Wolf23>> type "firefox" [03:08] mobasher: It can be connected to on the local network but not over the internet - you can see that it's some ssh config issue [03:08] greezmunkey: Okay, here's what I did (because my windows box doesn't have a floppy): dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img. Then I copied floppy.img to my windows box and opened it with a program called winimage. Winimage has a change format tool. I changed the format to 2.88, and copied the image back to the linux box. [03:08] mobasher, i have all open, and i got a message to restart firefox [03:09] ssh just plain wouldn't work if it can't reach that machine - but it gets to the box [03:09] http://pastebin.com/FAi96aL9 [03:09] I installed open office base with synaptic, and it won't launch. Anyone have a idea what the problem is? [03:09] Wolf23>> you don't need to goto the shell to start up firefox..you can goto APPLICATIONS -> INTERENT -> FIREFOX [03:10] so whats gives? [03:10] mobasher, i want to restart firefox not to open firefox!! [03:10] <{n8}> mobasher: meh much quicker to type [03:10] greezmunkey: now all that's left is to add in the files I needed the extra space for, load it into the tftp folder and try a PXE boot. [03:10] Wolf23>> just close firefox and restart what's the big deal...or you want to kill the current process and ? [03:11] tom_ how long has your system been up [03:11] you must drink and pizzza [03:11] incognito: not long ... [03:12] incognito: sometimes it hangs minutes after reboot ... [03:12] if you want to kill the process of firefox so you can restart " ps -ef | grep firefox " get the PID assosciated with it and kill it using "kill PID" [03:12] tom_ did it ever work? [03:12] incogito: sometimes it runs for couple of days [03:12] tom_: try a live cd, see if the same happens. if it does, it sounds like hardware issues. [03:12] hi, i'm having an issue sshing to my machine, seems like an ssh config problem http://pastebin.com/3KG3vWmb [03:12] you must drink beer and pizzza!! [03:12] incognito: debian works, windows works, ubuntu doesn't work [03:13] tom_ I'm wondering if you have a hardware compatability issue [03:13] hey can you let me into ubuntu? [03:13] tom_ so I want to find out if there was any period of time when the system worked. [03:13] incognito: not ubuntu 10.4 ... ubuntu 10.4 never worked properly. Other distros did ... [03:14] serit: what do you mean? [03:14] tom_did previous versions of ubuntu work/ [03:14] incognito: it is definitely a kernel/driver issue ... but I just don't know how to increase kernel's verbosity [03:14] tom_ well I can't help you there [03:14] incognito: yeah, like 8.x or even 7.x ... [03:15] AndrewMC: can I join ubuuntu [03:15] tom_: try installing an older kernel that is available in the repos maybe? see if that works? [03:15] Rockj: that's a good idea ... [03:15] serit: what exactly are you looking for¿ [03:15] tom_: my best bet would be for you to file a bug if a older kernel is working and get kernel hackers to help you debug. [03:15] tom_ I had a similar problem with 10.04 [03:15] incognito, Rockj: do you guys also know why does md5sum returns different checksum on my machine when I run it on exactly the same file? [03:16] tom_: tbh, for me that sounds like bad memory/cpu. [03:16] Rockj: I did run the memtest86 over night and it didn't find any issues [03:16] tried running memtest86 for 12hours? [03:16] hm [03:17] tom_ that sounds more like a problem with the processor, or memory like Rockj says [03:17] No weird messages in /var/log/kern.log and dmesg etc? [03:17] nope ... [03:17] some of the crashes indicate stack crashes [03:17] some of the other crashes indicated a fight between amd and nvidia [03:17] you got stack crashes? [03:17] i have ati on board, and nvidia as discrete [03:17] Rockj: I did ... i even went to see the code, and it looked fine [03:18] Rockj: sorry, may be I am wrong about stack crash ... [03:18] You could have some hardware issues with newer kernels or something. I'd have to say this is kinda out of my league, as my guess would defently be hw-issue [03:18] Rockj: i got call traces, I can't recall for sure if i got stack crashes [03:18] xangua: for laptop help [03:19] but then again, you said it working with other distroes which again points me back to your hardware might have issues with newest kernels [03:19] it is hw issue ... [03:19] hey guys awhile ago my video screen the whole thing jut flickered all over and was really tiny lines but very noticable. how do i fix this? [03:19] yep [03:19] anyway, try a older kernel, figure out where the "change" and bugs start to happen tom_ [03:19] Rockj: how do I get the older kernel, do I need to compile it myself, or simply get it from repository? [03:20] tom_ did you look at the Release notes? [03:20] serit: then just make your question [03:20] tom_: then I would file abug and mention this. kernel devs then can do fancy bisecting to see what changes has been applied between those versions [03:20] incognito: nope [03:20] ok, i'll do ... [03:20] tom_: apt-cache search linux-image , lists a few different versions of kernels available in ubuntu [03:20] tom_ you should check that out [03:20] I'll actually install the 9.10 and see if it is there ... need it for CUDA anyway [03:21] Rockj: thanks ... I'll just use the synapsys manager [03:22] also when i install mouse cursers off gnomelook.org and use them, they do not work all the way i still see the little white mouse when i am not in a chat bar or in say a windows or browsing then it is a white little arrow. [03:22] xangua:want to upgrade hard drive any ideas?# [03:22] Rockj: the thing is 2.6.32 is the lowes one 10.4 goes, and this is what i have [03:22] serit: but a new hardrive ¿ [03:23] exit [03:23] exit [03:25] for my eeepc should i use 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu? [03:25] chris_osx, unless you have 4+gb of ram, i'd just go with 32-bit. [03:25] tom_: makes things a bit more complicated huh? :-/ [03:25] tom_ are you familiar with compiling the kernel/ [03:25] arrrghhh, thank you so much for all ur help with fstab and the mounting. [03:25] doug__, np. [03:25] arrrghhh: ok thanks [03:25] incognito: yeah, done that many times ... never really debugged though [03:26] tom_ I guess you got your work cut out for you. [03:26] hehe ... [03:26] tom_: don't really need to "debug", you just want to see when your system starts to be stable. Only problem with going backwards in kernel revisions ....is if ubuntu 10.04 depends on functionality in newer kernels, but I doubt it tbh [03:26] alright, i'll do it manyally [03:26] Has Gwibber been updated for Twitters OAuth and has it been pushed to 10.04 yet. [03:26] xawerm: was it something I said? [03:27] ok, I'll do it ... see you for now [03:27] UpAllNightBrain: i believe so, if not http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/twitters-oauthpocalypse-today-upgrade.html [03:28] is there a way i can fill my sd card with random songs from my music folder? [03:29] I had a bit of a problem upgrading to 10.04 just now. The upgrade failed at the sl-modem package. As suggested, I ran sudo dpkg --configure -a. What should I do next to finish the upgrade? [03:29] arrrghhh>> i think you need to run a awk command to search random files [03:29] arrrghhh>> once searched you can have them moved in the same command [03:30] mobasher, hrm. i guess i don't know that much about awk. [03:30] hey can I join ubuntu now? [03:30] serit, you're here. [03:30] whats an rpm file in connection with libraries? [03:30] I installed open office base on 10.04 with synaptic, and it won't launch. Anyone have and Idea what the problem is? [03:30] arrrghhh>> well i guess it's never too late learn my friend :) i don't know by heart check on the net google it [03:30] this is unregged? [03:30] serit: no [03:31] serit you need to register your nick [03:31] mobasher, haha i'll check it out. [03:31] incognito: start it from command line, see if something nifty arrives up in the terminal of debugging messages? [03:31] right now when i boot up my computer and gnome has not loaded yet, the text is streched big, not nice and small like it normaly is [03:31] arrrghhh>> check there is a unix forum it's great help about scripting [03:31] but this is ubuntu -unregged? [03:32] serit: if you want to avoid having to join #ubuntu-unregged and then joining here register your nick. /msg nickserv help register [03:32] arrrghhh>> i think it's www.unix.com [03:32] serit: this is #ubuntu [03:33] SOmething wrong with my Video Card or Drivers. I have an nvidia card and recently when I try to boot up suddenly everything turns red and I cant do anything, if I boot from live CD everything is fine. How do I (From the Live CD) make my primary installation use generic video drivers? === kevile is now known as kev === kev is now known as kevoc [03:33] when i install this mouse curser and go use it, it works half way not all the way , i still have the white arrow sometimes. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Defender+Black?content=126146 [03:33] Rockj do you know if the command is base database or Database? They all produce command not found [03:33] UbuntuLily: don't use the CD, go into the grub menu and use the recovery option - repair Xorg video settings [03:34] How do I get to grub menu? [03:34] UbuntuLily: what version of ubuntu? [03:34] UbuntuLily: when you boot up, it'll say "press esc to enter menu" [03:34] what kind of commmands are there for fonts in the command line? no gui loaded [03:34] 10.04 [03:34] Walzmy_>> type grub [03:34] UbuntuLily what version of Ubuntu are you running [03:34] UbuntuLily: hold the shift key when booting and that will take you to the grub menu === Veovis_AWAY is now known as veovis_muaddib [03:35] UbuntuLily, i agree with IdleOne shift key should work [03:35] Walzmy_>> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:35] cool thanx! [03:35] Did they change how to get into grub? [03:35] !grub [03:35] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [03:35] Do you know how I troubleshoot thsi video issue? [03:35] mobasher: why are you telling me about grub? I"m helping that other guy [03:35] any commands for fonts or even resolution in the console with no gui loaded? [03:36] it doesn't seem to be an issue once I remove hardware drivers. but than I cannot ame [03:36] Walzmy_: in version before 9.10 it is ESC [03:36] game [03:36] Walzmy_>> sorry but i thought u need to know the grub :) [03:37] can someone points me to a good website comparing fedora and ubuntu ? I would like to install a linux on my desktop after having no linux desktop since 5 years [03:37] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions [03:37] incognito: oobase starts open office base [03:38] is there a logfile for vino-server to see what ip address is logging into my machine? [03:38] daddysmut just do a dual boot and compare them, but Ubuntu is definitely better [03:39] incognito: will try both yes, what makes you feel ubuntu a better distro ? [03:39] Hi. I've made a minor mistake in /etc/fstab (edited one of my _data_, not root, filesystems' entry, and used the whole device (/dev/sdX) rather than the partition (/dev/sdX1)). Now as my server boots, mountall shouts about being unable to mount the filesystem (understandably); but the server is hung, I get no prompt on the console, and I get no ssh. What gives? [03:39] ok lets see then [03:39] daddysmut do a dual boot with three partitions and share the home folder, or run ubuntu base and fedora in a virtual machine or visa versa [03:39] hi, i'm having an issue sshing to my machine, seems like an ssh config problem http://pastebin.com/3KG3vWmb [03:40] daddysmut ubuntu is continually improving it's desktop user friendliness === wkshearer is now known as Misanthropus_Orn [03:41] daddysmut fedora is more geared for the long time techie user [03:41] My sister needs to know the command for disk checking...

[03:41] 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/godcraft/backup/backup.sh [03:41] Rockj thanks [03:41] i have a lot of hidden files in a directory, i'd like to move them all to a single folder, but mv .* folder doesn't seem to be the way [03:41] AegNuddel: fsck [03:41] incognito: good enough ! [03:41] incognito: will try both :) and make my choice but thanks for that initial lead [03:42] daddysmut my pleasure [03:42] dulak, thanks [03:43] Rockj I get no response at all when I enter oobase, same as clicking the link under applications. [03:44] Dulak, does she need to put anything after it? [03:44] xjkx: are you sure they are not moving? [03:46] Rockj I guess I'll have to go to Micro$hi# to do my db diagrams for now. Maybe I'll try it on my 8.04 server install. [03:46] lulu7: yes [03:46] AegNuddel: it will by default check every filesystem [03:46] Dulak, all it said was fsck 1.41.4(27-Jan-2009) [03:46] lulu7: wait, no, they moved, but gave some error messages [03:46] is there a logfile for vino-server to see what ip address is logging into my machine? [03:47] xjkx: Mine did the same but still moved the files. I am not sure how to prevent the message but the feature worked [03:47] AegNuddel: what version of ubuntu is this? [03:47] lulu7: my fear is that it cause something bad, as . is also used to refer to the previous folder, but i tried with a sample folder and it worked fine, at least as far as i can see, you don't think it messes with files do you ? [03:48] 9.04 [03:48] does this crontab -e file look right?

The single . is "this directory" or "hidden" depending how you apply it [03:48] incognito: for db diagrams you could try dia. [03:48] AegNuddel: you can specify the filesystem by giving it to fsck, like: "fsck /dev/sda1" [03:49] hello, i have intel4965 card on my thinkpad, but it does not work :( i have WPA. [03:49] lulu7: oh yea, i somehow confused them, thanks, I think it's deadly safe then [03:49] AegNuddel: you prolly want to be in recovery mode, and you can see the filesystems to give to fsck with: 'sudo fdisk -l' [03:50] should wpa+wireless not work out of the box? [03:50] AegNuddel: don't run fsck on a filesystem that is mounted === soreau_ is now known as soreau [03:50] i only use windows before [03:50] ugh! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/510415 <- nasty [03:50] xjkx: I believe to be safe you can even option it out by adding "\" for example: mv \.* instead [03:51] Dulak, ok trying to help my sister...not on mine [03:51] Rockj cool I'll check it out [03:52] lulu7: oh, thanks. by the way, i just remembered that .* also fits ..* that's why i was worried then, but I'll use this "\", anyway, thanks a lot [03:52] I've recently installed a lucid (10.4) server. How can I get to grub's prompt during boot? I get no chance to hit ESC or something like that. [03:52] is there anyone here that runs multiple linux OS's? [03:53] Anyone know how to use the TPM chip with Linux? [03:53] Hey, I dowloaded the souce code of the linux kernel, how do I view it? I am not intersted in modifing it I just want to see ti [03:55] Is there anybody there? [03:56] noob_: tar xvf [03:57] hey guys, does anyone know how i can repair a malfunctioning bash history (or the generic server history, not sure which is screwed) [03:59] sinman: used to [03:59] Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to linux but what directory is the souce code in [03:59] noob_: how did you download it? [04:00] udo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.32 [04:00] arrrghhh, im back [04:00] noob_: if you downloaded it correctly, it's probably in /usr/src/something.... [04:00] intel352: perhaps restart bash with "exec bash" [04:00] noob_: you can also download it at kernel.org [04:01] Izinucs, i've restarted the server even :-\ [04:01] noob_: what source code.. the linux source? kernel, program ??? [04:01] intel352: 'history -c' will clear history and start a fresh one [04:01] intel352: weird.. no idea [04:02] noob_: maybe you can try dpkg -L linux-source-2.6.32 [04:02] noob_: dpkg --listfile linux-source-2.6.32 | less [04:02] using the synaptic to get software, if i put a check mark in the box to download package files only, where do they go [04:02] the kernel [04:02] ilovefairuz, any idea what coudl be causing history to fubar in teh first place? [04:02] sinman: usually into /var/cache/apt/archive... [04:02] noob_: you could download directly I think from http://packages.ubuntu.com [04:02] ilovefairuz, as i'd rather not lose history if i can help it [04:02] greezmunkey, Hi. That procedure for expanding the boot floppy image worked like a charm. [04:02] intel352: .bash_history file corrupted? [04:03] noob_: what are you trying to do in general? [04:03] Loshki: thanxs [04:03] ilovefairuz, it's readable, but it's recorded same command w/ same timestamp multiple times, and then no more cmd logs [04:03] recorded exit a large number of times [04:03] I just want to see some of linux's source code. I am new to linux and programming [04:03] originally it had recorded ls -al (ad nauseum), then exit (ad nauseum), i manually edited to see if removing it fixed anything [04:04] it didn't [04:04] noob_: hmm, well if that doesn't work out, try a tutorial in python programming. [04:04] is there a alternate install disk iso for ubuntu instead of the live disk iso? [04:04] noob_: is it not in /usr/src/linux-2.6.32 or some such? [04:04] sinman: yes [04:04] !install [04:04] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [04:04] I know a small bit of C but that is all [04:05] hi everyone, im having a problem installing a software package, done it many times before, but this time, it seems that in php require_once() isn't handling a file path well. seems that it doesn't handle a // in a path, worked in every other install on other servers before [04:05] sinman: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [04:05] intel352: 'history -w' will write the history stack from memory to the file overwriting it [04:05] anyone got any ideas or suggestions? [04:05] whats the best option for crypting files with password [04:06] ilovefairuz, i've already got history logging live to the file [04:06] well, it was at least [04:06] no more logging, and scrollback is same [04:06] what's the packages for the keyboard shortcuts ? [04:06] intel352: so new commands aren't being written to the history file? [04:06] ilovefairuz, correct [04:06] interesting security check thing, lol [04:06] or scrollback [04:07] it's been like this for 2 days or so [04:07] and server reboot doesn't correct [04:07] i've only made to modifications that would affect bash and/or history [04:08] 1 colorized the shell, other modified history to log live, and extend # recorded cmds [04:08] It is proabably a bit premature of me to be looking at the kernel source code on second thoughts, I must really improve my programming. I know c up untill structs, file handling, and the likes [04:08] intel352: echo $HISTCONTORL [04:08] !enter | intel352 [04:08] intel352: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:09] hi everyone, im having a problem installing a software package, done it many times before, but this time, it seems that in php require_once() isn't handling a file path well. seems that it doesn't handle a // in a path, worked in every other install on other servers before [04:09] ilovefairuz, ignoredups:ignorespace [04:09] noob_: the kernel is fairly advanced by most standards. Python is a much better general purpose language. All you c knowledge will be useful in python... Python is just the place to start with ubuntu programming [04:10] intel352: echo $HISTFILE [04:10] if i do the 64bit ubuntu install will i be able find applications for it like I can with the 32 bit version [04:10] ilovefairuz, /root/.bash_history [04:10] moody: elaborate and in detail [04:10] sinman: yes.. but flash can be a little flakey sometimes.. [04:11] so im trying to customize my cursor pointer, just to make it from small to large and switch to DMZ Black -- now when I select the cursor theme i want, the cursor doesnt change. although the cursor changes when hovering over window-resize points and while loading -- basically the main pointer has not changed as I had wanted it to... how can i fix this? [04:11] Izinucs: k thought i would give the 64bit ubuntu a try [04:11] intel352: what exactly did you change in the bash files? [04:11] sinman: I run 64 bit kubuntu on the desktop and 32 bit ubuntu on laptop [04:12] ilovefairuz: so im installing wordpress, on first load, the wp-load.php tries to load files, it defines ABSPATH with a trailing slash, then tries to include files via require_once( ABSPATH . '/wp-includes/...') [04:12] Hello all [04:12] sometimes at random intervals I get this note " bonobo-activation-server (xxxxxxx-11986): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-5RSDoAibbB: Connection refused" and suddenly im back at the login screen [04:12] any thoughts [04:12] ? [04:12] Izinucs: nice I'm working on getting a laptop, been working on it for the past 5 years, but want one and put linux on it [04:13] on any other server, it never had this problem, but im using a new vps and i get this install error due to the double / in the file path [04:13] sinman: order it with linux :) [04:13] it would resolve to path//wp-includes/... [04:13] Izinucs: I'll look into that [04:13] moody: and the require fails? what's the exact error string? a double slash is not a problem [04:13] ilovefairuz, at end of /etc/bash.bashrc, added cmds to chagne HISTTIMEFORMAT, make history live commit cmds, increase history size [04:13] serit: yes you are in #ubuntu [04:14] what ides would you recommend I would like one that allows code folding [04:14] ok, total newb to ubuntu. I've got a lucid install, and am trying to install libxdo-dev, which is listed as in Maverick, universe. [04:14] What does that mean to me, how can I apt-get this [04:14] ilovefairuz: yeah the require fails as: /var/www/mypolitician.tk//wp-includes/classes.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/site/wp-load.php on line 46 [04:14] intel352: pastebin the file [04:14] noob_: code folding? [04:14] have fun everyone, got some iso's to download [04:14] oops [04:14] yeah [04:14] sinman: use torrents .. they are faster [04:14] !pastebin [04:14] 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. [04:15] i replaced the second directory with site, that was an edit, forgot to edit both [04:15] moody: and the file exists? stat /var/www/mypolitician.tk/wp-includes/classes.php [04:15] yes, file exists [04:15] hmmm or im an idiot and it doesn' [04:15] Izinucs: I'll check torrents out, I know when I use to download torrents in windows they was very slow downloading [04:15] As in if you write a function that spans several lines you can click on it and the contents of the funciton are hiden. I believe this feature is useful [04:15] i thought i copied it correctly [04:15] moody: type the stat command [04:16] doesn't cp -r ./source/*.* . copy all recursively? [04:16] oh [04:16] dammit [04:16] sinman: there's lots of seeds for the ubuntu torrent.. get the torrent from ubuntu.com [04:16] it should ahve been cp -r /path/to/source/* . [04:16] noob_: hmmm, I would like that too :( that is a function of the IDE, and I have had terrible luck finding an IDE for ubuntu [04:16] ilovefairuz thanks for the advice, let me try now [04:16] ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/491375/ (my additions are at the end, i'm pasting in my history and local rc next) [04:17] moody: cp -R /path/to/foldername /path/to/newfolder .. no need for *.* [04:17] Izinucs: i will, can i the torrent for ubuntu studio from there also? [04:17] Hi I need help with getting a touchscreen to work on Ubuntu. on windows it uses a 3M driver [04:17] sinman: nope.. [04:18] lwizardl: multi-touch screen ? [04:18] ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/491376/ (.bashrc) [04:18] intel352: if you command these commands and test it, does it work fine? [04:18] Izinucs: lol thats what i though I guess i would need to go to their site to get it right [04:18] A freind of mine recommend geany but I haven't tried it yet [04:18] sinman: yep [04:18] intel352: if you comment ** [04:18] Izinucs: k and once again thanxs [04:18] ilovefairuz: gotcha, i will do that [04:18] hola [04:19] Izinucs, not sure what that means? i know the screen doesn't need a stylus to work. fingers can work as a mouse [04:19] !es | serit [04:19] serit: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:19] ilovefairuz, testing that. btw, http://paste.ubuntu.com/491377/ << bit of what my history file looks like [04:19] I have 10.04 and a hd3200 how easy is it to get video acceleration going? [04:20] ubottu: hey english is fine! [04:20] Izinucs, ok nope its not a multi touch [04:20] boy, that security question was difficult [04:21] noob_: hmm, looks interesting, thanks for the tip. I like the little features it has. The main feature that I would want is to be able to navigate random ubuntu projects, rather than a single file. I'll have to see how it works. [04:21] ilovefairuz, i've commented the additions out, sourced the file, no difference [04:21] Hi if i run a "find" command is there a way to output the results to the end of an already created text file? [04:21] lwizardl: so one finger at a time.... sorry no idea on how to fix that.. www.ubuntuforums.org might help.. search for your model [04:21] I'm having a problem with empathy. I can't connect to google talk unless the username is at gmail.com. Does anyone know of a work around? [04:22] hey my back hurts [04:22] laterv guys [04:22] Do you know of any programming ircs, or of any useful online learning material for programming [04:22] intel352: log out and in [04:22] Hello everyone! I'm a Ubuntu / Linux noob trying to make remote desktop from Windows to Ubuntu work... So far, I managed to make it work using vnc... but it works only when my ubuntu session is already started, I cannot start a new session from Windows... Anyone can help me with this? :) [04:22] dejavou42: i ahve it working for my own domain via google apps standard, let me look at my settings [04:23] moody: thanks [04:23] Lanks: find blah blah >> filename [04:23] noob_: I think there are plenty of python tutorials. [04:23] Coded1, cheers [04:23] Np [04:23] ilovefairuz, bah, that was it. okay, that greatly sucks [04:23] noob_: there is even the http://www.pythonchallenge.com/ which will stretch your python skills [04:24] must be an incompatibility between centos and ubuntu on those cmds [04:24] crap, lost my history tho (tried that history -w, wiped out my previous cmds) [04:24] dejavou42: okay connect port: 5222 connect server: talk.google.com file transfer proxies proxy.eu.jabber.org [04:24] thx tho, you saved it [04:24] that seems to make it work for me [04:24] k, off to bed, wife is yelling. i owe you a beer ilovefairuz [04:24] intel352: have a good night [04:25] sudo apt-get install -s install openjdk-6-jdk prints an impressive lists of packages that'll be installed. Most of them related to X. I don't intend to use swing; I'm perfectly allright with passing -Djava.awt.headless=true everytime I fire up java. Any way I can avoid installing half of X? [04:25] surial: append -headless to package name [04:25] ilovefairuz: No such package :( [04:26] There's a headless jre, though. [04:26] Which seems a bit pointless. [04:26] or, well, no, I guess that makes sense too. [04:27] moody: hmmm, I have all the same settings except the file transfer proxy (can't figure out where that setting is) but when I try to connect from another domain other than gmail.com I get "Disconnected - Authentication Error" [04:27] moody: however, I'm positive that I typed the username and password correctly [04:27] surial: looks like only jre has a headless variant [04:27] surial: openjdk-6-jre-headless [04:28] Cheers, the website looks really interesting. If you know any others,link them please. [04:28] ilovefairuz: Yeah. I wouldn't mind being able to compile code on the server. Hmmm... [04:28] dejavou42: do you have ssl authentication enabled? [04:29] moody: no, but its working now. The only thing I did was sign up for a gmail account that was associated with the other account. [04:29] Anyone ever got video acceleration working with an ati card? [04:29] noob_: I don't know anything specific. I think I just followed the tutorial on the python website [04:30] Coded1: it's really card specific.. check ati's site for compatabiliity with X.org versions [04:30] dejavou42: cool, glad it's working now [04:30] coded1: try envy [04:30] moody: but where were you seeing the file transfer proxy? [04:30] Deja ou42. Ty [04:30] coded1: np [04:30] dejavou42: seems i got it mixed up, i was using pidgin for my google apps chat [04:30] but let me try to set up on empathy [04:31] i am running empathy for aim, i'll try to config for google [04:31] !info ecj | surial, you could use that [04:31] surial,: ecj (source: ecj): standalone version of the Eclipse Java compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 3.5.1-1 (lucid), package size 9 kB, installed size 80 kB [04:31] There seems to be a lot of resources online . Would you recommend that I learn any other languages. [04:31] hey so is this ubuntu? [04:32] !hi | serit [04:32] serit: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [04:32] DOH! [04:32] ilovefairuz: ecj is just a mostly incompatible replacement for javac. There's more to the JDK than javac alone. [04:32] hehe well I got dumped into unrgged [04:32] noob_: you only need to start with one, then learn as needed [04:33] noob_: they all share the same basics [04:33] surial: I know but if what you're looking for is a compiler (as you've stated) it may just do the job [04:33] surial: you could try enabling the "partner" repository and install sun-java6-jdk [04:33] surial: although most of the time, openjdk could do the job [04:33] PresuntoRJ: Was trying to look at that. Trying to figure out how to add non-free to my sources.list [04:34] Thank you for your help [04:34] Just tossing non-free at the end of a deb line doesn't seem to work for some reason. [04:34] surial: I assume you don't have GUI, do you? [04:34] PresuntoRJ: amazon AWS instance. [04:34] !partner | surial [04:34] surial: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [04:34] I guess I could try to run xvnc, but, I'd never use it. [04:34] ah, I see. [04:34] surial: non-free is not UBUNTU standard reposiroty destiny... only Debian [04:34] ubottu: Muchos gracias. [04:34] dejavou42: you have to choose jabber client, not google talk client [04:35] PresuntoRJ: Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Apologies; my home server is a debian and not an ubuntu box and I got the two tangled up. [04:35] surial: ubottu is a software, ;) [04:35] dejavou42: i got it working for my empathy [04:35] moody: just for file transfers though right? [04:35] PresuntoRJ: surial ubottu is a bot [04:35] !brain | surial [04:35] surial: Hi! I'm ubottu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [04:35] PresuntoRJ: It's late :P [04:36] dejavou42: no, for chatting on my domain via google [04:36] ilovefairuz: which means, its a software... :D [04:36] moody: gotcha, thanks! [04:36] dejavou42: you got it? [04:36] PresuntoRJ: that's degrading! ubottu is not merely a piece of code! haha [04:37] moody: I got it working under google talk [04:37] dejavou42: create a new jabber account, login user@yourdomain.com with your password [04:37] surial: to your /etc/apt/sources.list , add (or uncomment if its there) the line: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner (assuming you are using 10.04) [04:37] dejavou42: advanced > encryption required (TLS/SSL) & ignore ssl certificate errors, server: talk.google.com port: 5222 [04:37] surial: than $ sudo apt-get update [04:37] Well, sun-java6-jdk installs less packages, but is still shooting for x11-common. But that's probably okay; even in headless mode you can e.g. render images and the like, I would need some font dbs for that. [04:38] surial: some new packages might be available, including sun-java6 ones [04:38] moody: as a google talk account. I just had to create a gmail address to go along side my regular e-mail address [04:38] surial: it's swing [04:39] dejavou42: cool :) [04:39] Well, yes, I get that. I don't need it though. In fact, -Djava.awt.headless=true is rather extreme, it'll also stop you from using java.awt or javax.swing classes to for example convert a jpg to a png, purely in memory. So in theory there's no need even for x11-common. [04:39] !partner | surial [04:39] surial: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications.

[04:41] I'm following this http://linux-tipps.blogspot.com/2010/06/setting-up-vaapi-hardware-accelerated.html [04:42] Four2zero: yes, check if the process exists [04:42] is there a search engine for ubuntu packages like debian.org has? [04:42] For video acceleration and apparently it's for 10.04 [04:42] Four2zero: ps -A | grep sshd [04:42] how do i get ubuntu to detect wireless on my dell laptop [04:42] Fendaril: does the wireless device gets detected? [04:42] renedox, nothing comes back [04:42] surial: it's probably because there are some graphical tools included with -jdk [04:43] whats a good dvd burner? [04:43] Fendaril, it should be detected on it's own, rightclick the networkmanager applet in the panel and see if you can configure it [04:43] whosjose: what panel [04:43] Four2zero: hm.. weird, you'll have to install it then [04:43] whosjose, cdrecord/dvdrecord (commandline) [04:43] yoooo [04:43] Fendaril: pastebin: sudo lshw -C network [04:43] with apt-get or synaptic [04:43] Fendaril: most likely you need a proprietary driver also, try the Hardware Driver applet on the system/admin menu [04:43] !paste | Fendaril [04:43] Fendaril: 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.

[04:51] ilovefairuz: I heard laptop wireless cards should be detected [04:51] whosjose>> i think dvd author is in snyptic [04:51] dvdauthor is [04:51] i need now mplex [04:53] whosjose>> apt-get install mjpegtools [04:53] whosjose>> it should also be there mjpegtools [04:53] got it [04:53] whosjose>> in snaptics [04:53] thanks:) [04:53] let me see if i can burn [04:53] :) [04:54] hey guys quick question where are the .desktop files located for hte login profiles [04:55] i have for example: gnome, xfailsafe.. where are thse .desktop files located.. (they are ones that appear afte chosing username before password on the login menu>? [04:55] nah [04:55] mplex plugin is still not installed [04:55] mplex (GStreamer plugin) not instilled :( [04:57] Good morning, I'm here again with a question. :P A few weeks ago, I encrypted some files on windows. And then I accidentally lost my encryption certificates to decrypt it. Is there a way for me to brute force it here in linux? [04:57] whosjose: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [04:57] ok [04:58] lets give this another try [04:58] Is anybody else having regular X lockups in 10.04? It used to work ok, but something in recentish updates has broken something. [04:58] erdnase: you lost your private key? good luck with that [04:58] its already installed [04:58] anyone? [04:58] ilovefairuz, Yeah, and I'm like. wth. >_> [04:59] ilovefairuz, I don't think I can brute force a windows encryption, not with todays computers, I think. I hope I can. [04:59] D'oh. I'm an idiot - did some apt-get work on a remote server without using screen and the connection crapped out. Is that bad? [04:59] erdnase: no you can't, unless you're SETI or the NSA [05:00] erdnase: run disk recovery software on your hd for the key, No brute forcing is not an option. [05:00] ilovefairuz: Yea, i can't install it it's already installed [05:00] can anyone tell me a program i can use to pipe the soundcard sound to a fake mic so gtkrecordmydesktop can use it to record sound instead of my mic? [05:00] picard1400: you can try to use locate to find any files, including those... ;) just make sure you have recently run the $ sudo updatedb [05:00] whosjose: yeah, i'm looking, [05:00] picard1400: there should be a cron for that [05:00] ilovefairuz: thanks [05:01] jellow, I would've done that too. But sad to say I already formatted the drive for like, more than 3 times. I tried to recover it but nothing happened. [05:01] I totally forgot that I still have some encrypted files. >_> [05:02] erdnase: Does not sound hopeful then , sorry to say [05:02] whosjose: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse [05:03] jellow, yeah. I'll just store this file (fortunately its on my external hd), and wait for a few decades, lol. [05:03] !locate | picard1400 [05:03] picard1400: locate is a command-line file search utility.

[05:59] mobasher: nothing in /etc/hosts [05:59] mortici: many hosts do not respond to ping, and many ISPs block it. [05:59] mortici>> did you do a grep ?? [06:00] mobasher: yeah [06:00] mortici: not to mention most sane firewall configs allow responses to outgoing packets. [06:00] mobasher: i vaguely remember installing something similar to peer guardian [06:00] Anyone know quickly where the option went in the gimp to make every pixel of my graphic black? I used to know this, if it's irrelevant to the channel I understand. I'm just flustered.

[06:31] quiet in the channel tonight [06:31] do i have everyone on ignore or something? [06:32] Hello all. [06:32] Hi folks. I'm running Ubuntu Lucid inside VirtualBox on OS X. It's running on a virtual hard disk image. I recently changed the boot hard disk image in order to increase its size. The old hard disk image was a SATA image. The new one is IDE. I didn't do that deliberately - I was just following instructions. Now when Ubuntu boots, it gives me the message: drive for UUID=xxxx is not ready yet or not... (wraps off end of screen) belo [06:32] the Ubuntu logo. But it boots anyway. === iShawnW is now known as FlamingCock [06:33] Wow. [06:33] FlamingCock === FlamingCock is now known as iShawnW [06:34] richardcavell the old swap partition uuid?? [06:34] iflema: Ah, now that could be it. What I did was I increased the size of the Ubuntu partition and I deleted the old swap partition and made a new one [06:35] richardcavell fstab may still be looking for theold one..... [06:35] sok it never detects my swap partition on boot but it always uses it fine anyways [06:35] it just takes a lil bit to initialize it [06:35] and im running native [06:35] All I did was create a partition within gparted of type 'linux-swap' and I labelled it 'Swap' [06:36] I'll be back. [06:36] yea my swap is on an encrypted lvm so that might be it for me [06:37] I just looked at /etc/fstab and sure enough it has the old UUID and some text that tells me it's looking for the old swap partition [06:37] Can I just delete that line in fstab? [06:37] so any ideas why facebook doesnt work in gwibber? [06:37] Should I put in the new swap partition, or can Ubuntu find it and use it anyway? [06:38] richardcavell the system will go with whats infstab i belive.... ina terminal use thecommand free and see if is swap is being used [06:39] Vamp: I was messing around in another channel [06:40] Hmmm no, it's not using any swap at all [06:40] Okay let me reboot [06:40] hello [06:40] hello tux [06:40] when I install tightvnc, it does not create an xstartup file in the .vnc directory, so that I can tell it what wm to use. does anyone know how to deal with this issue? === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [06:41] hello. i have made sudo apt-get source Packagename --download-only and where it is now ? it is not in /var/cache/apt/archives [06:41] richardcavell why not spin a livecd, test sys specs, install, enjoy?? =) [06:42] iflema: I'm already installed [06:42] need a good image editor [06:42] x-izzy: gimp [06:42] i installed a program as root via cli but cant access it using my normal user account. What is the directory the program would have installed to? [06:42] iflema: No I fixed it. All I had to do was to edit /etc/fstab to update the UUID to the new swap partition [06:42] easy peasy [06:42] richardcavell goodone [06:42] liam: dpkg -L packagename [06:43] UUIDs suck why do they even exist again? [06:43] UUID's rock [06:43] liam: or "which programname" [06:43] they allow it to disregard the /dev/sd* designation [06:43] Emanon: seriously though why? [06:43] and look for a drive based on an address only it will have no matter where it is plugged in [06:43] but thats so much easier to remember that 4389479380djgjirih78959743 [06:44] iceroot: i didnt install it using package manager. I installed it using a .sh file [06:44] so if i have /boot on a removable drive (which i do) i can plug it in anywhere and it will work [06:44] liam what program did you install [06:44] incognito_: netbeans [06:44] since it doesnt look for the normal port designated or time of insertion designated address [06:44] but the unique identifying number of THAT DEVICE [06:45] also means you can more easily use a portable filesystem (like a full install on a usb drive) [06:45] liam are you a programmer, are you familiar with linux ubuntu? [06:46] did ubuntu do something to the system menu? I don't have my shut down menu item any more [06:46] incognito: yes iam but ive never really bothered to read up on what all the directories are for and this includes where programs are installed. [06:46] anyone familiar with tight vnc [06:46] its tight [06:47] :D [06:47] liam are you familiar with the whereis command? [06:47] liam the executable for most things will install to /usr/bin [06:47] incognito: no [06:47] check /usr/bin/netbeans [06:47] even .sh's respect that [06:48] and next time dont just make, install [06:48] make, checkinstall (slashdot says its cool) [06:48] liam type "whereis netbeans" in the command line without the quotes, and it will show you where netbeans is. [06:48] or install netbeans from the repo [06:48] liam: If you installed it with something outside of a package manager, it *should* be installed to /usr/local/bin (with its support files being elsewhere in /usr/local/*) or to /opt/* [06:48] enanon: /usr/bin hasnt got any dirs [06:48] solved should be in apt conf [06:49] it wouldnt be a directory it would be an executable liam [06:49] the directory would be in /usr/lib with the rest of the library files [06:49] liam then if you are willing to search with your file manager you might be able to find the program. I've done it that way before, but it can be tedious [06:49] Installing either sun-java6-jdk or openjdk-6-jdk will completely hang the server on update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/jexec to provide /usr/bin/jexec (jexec) in auto mode. When I attempt to SSH in, it'll get as far as "connection established" and just freeze there. Anyone have an idea what could be causing this? [06:49] or just read the script you used and see where it put everything [06:49] good morning guys. How can I connect to Personal File Sharing using Windows? What folder should I connect to? [06:50] liam: if you can just type the program into the terminal and have it run, `which programname` would be the easiest way to find it [06:50] emanon: I want to go into the dir to run the uninstall file so that I can reinstall it as the user account [06:50] then check the script you used to install it [06:50] it will list where it puts things [06:50] no such file... [06:51] Flannel: it says its not installed but the installer says it is [06:51] Emanon: the only file i have found is in /root/Desktop [06:51] what is the easiest, cleanest way to remove packages that the system doesn't need/use? I notice for a lot of 'from source' installs tons of build dependencies are needed things like that I'd imagine take up a ton of space [06:51] where is the SCRIPT THAT YOU USED TO INSTALL IT [06:51] not any of the files it installed [06:51] THE SCRIPT [06:52] i have made sudo apt-get source Packagename --download-only and where is the downloaded package? it is not in /var/cache/apt/archives [06:52] somethinginteres the computer janitor ( administration menu ) or sudo apt-get autoremove ina terminal [06:53] Emanon: I know where the script is but what should i search for to find the directory it specifies? [06:53] iflema: thanks [06:53] open the script in gedit [06:53] and it will say where it puts everything as a clear directory [06:53] like "cp suchandsuch /such/and/such" [06:54] qdb: source downloads to /usr/src [06:54] quiescens, thank you [06:54] iflema: thanks dude. My Ubuntu installation is now working perfectly. [06:55] oh and on a side note with personal file sharing (System>Preferences>Personal File Sharing) most of it is greyed out what packages do i need to fix that? [06:55] I'm liking this VirtualBox. I can install as many free operating systems as I want. OpenSolaris is going in now [06:55] quiescens, i do not find it there , and there are all are directories, but my should be an archive, i think [06:55] qdb: blah, sorry, it downloads to current directory, it extracts to /usr/src if you didn't do --download-only, I just happened to be in /usr/src at the time [06:55] thank you [06:56] thanks all for your help it was at /usr/local/netbeans [06:56] liam it should be in your repo too [06:56] so you dont have to install from script [06:57] Emanon: it is but it was suggested to install the one for php so I dont have to bother with installing plugins etc. [06:57] in mail, i get a squiggly line next to my mailbox, says i need to take it online, when i do, the line pops back up.....any idea whats going on? [06:57] ahhh [06:57] ok that makes sense [06:57] ah well thanks anyways [06:58] so any clues on the packages i need so the personal file sharing thing will actually work? [06:59] hey guys i just created a lamp server and installed phpmyadmin but im trying to access local host on chrom and its saying permission denied i dont have access [06:59] i am not able to mount my windows partition (fat32) in linux and access as regular user (only root), i tried to chown and chmod and none seemed to work, any suggestions? [06:59] !samba | Emanon [06:59] Emanon: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [07:00] did you make sure to use chown recursively? [07:00] Emanon: Perconal file sharing? [07:00] Emanon, yes, as root i get permission denied [07:00] Emanon: If you can't make it works I have the same problem. But === malnilion_ is now known as malnilion [07:00] Besogon: System>Preferences>Personal File Sharing [07:01] Emanon: Operation not permitted [07:01] but i just tried to share a file directly and it installed some packages so im going to restart the session and try again brb [07:01] and ill be back for you chownmount [07:01] Emanon >> http://macpablodesigns.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/enable-personal-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-10-04/ [07:01] Emanon: okay, thanks [07:01] chownmount: you might need to add your user permisions in System>administration>user groups>advanced>privliges [07:02] Hi. I compiled the kernel as explained at http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=f0230328b82c45adb697b0b17b618d17&t=1341580 And now I get this at bootup: "Kernel panic - not syncing:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block". I didn't update GRUB. [07:02] sacarlson: i'll check there, its bothersome root didn't have permission to chown [07:02] chownmount: you can't chown on windows file systems it has none. [07:03] gasull>> check your boot settings i think you made a wrong reference in the boot up file creation [07:03] sacarlson: how do i mount so regular user has access? [07:03] sacarlson: i checked system -> administra -> users and groups, and the user has permission there [07:03] Emanon: I tell you what I did to make it works. I have installed apache2-bin (with all its depends) and apache-common, then I install libapache2-mod-dnssd And now it works [07:03] chownmount: as stated above you need to add the user to the allow mount group [07:03] mobasher: how do I check my boot settings? what is the boot up file creation? [07:04] yea i just followed that link Besogon restarting for it now [07:04] sacarlson: is that the FUSE thing in the permissions? [07:04] gasull>> check your menu.lst [07:04] chownmount: yes [07:05] mobasher: how? I'm running the install Live CD right now. [07:05] sacarlson: thanks, that fixed it (i was looking at the top most option thinking that was it) [07:06] eeeee u're in live cd [07:06] sorry my bad [07:07] gasull>> not sure if you can chroot into the file system to change the boot properties on this 10 ubuntu i'm on old ubuntu anyway :) [07:07] Evening everyone, I was hoping i could get help with setting up an IR Remote with a USB IR sensor [07:07] mobasher: I would need to mount my hard drive first, right_ [07:08] right? [07:08] gasull>> for chroot ? [07:08] mobasher: I don't think my hard drive is even mounted [07:08] well you can check in /media [07:09] or do fdisk -l [07:09] trying to get my belkin usb wireless going, have got it loaded, but wont see the internet?? what am i missing? [07:09] mobasher: /media is empty [07:09] mobasher: fdisk -l shows nothing [07:09] woot personal file sharing works thanks [07:10] gasull>> you gurb thing is messed [07:10] k did they solve your problem yet chownmount? [07:10] Emanon: yes, it was simple; system -> admin -> users -> give FUSE access to user [07:10] ahh cool [07:10] gasull>> not sure about these new installs man...i'm on old school pc running 9.04 :) but your /boot/device.map should show you the list of media devices [07:10] gasull>> do a cat on it [07:10] mobasher: I guess I should say that my hard drive is encrypted, but as far as I know that doesn't encrypt /boot [07:11] how do i mount my blackberry in linux as a block device? [07:11] you cant encrypt /boot [07:11] it wouldnt work [07:11] gasull: you can put /boot on a usb flash drive [07:11] thats what i do [07:11] gasull>> hmm..not sure how the encyption thing works though haven't had a chance to play with it [07:11] Emanon: how do password a partition such that it cannot be mounted [07:11] mobasher: "no such file or directory" with cat /boot/device.map [07:11] gasull>> check the /boot/grub/device.map [07:11] hmmmmmmm [07:12] during install or after cryptopsy? [07:12] chownmount: how do I put the /boot on a usb flash drive? [07:12] I'm after recommendations for a great audio player, audio quality being key I'd like it to be as little a resource hog as possible not because it has to be per se but if it were possible in an ideal world that'd be nice. Thanks :) [07:12] Emanon: after, i.e someone steals ur usb stick [07:12] Emanon: how do you protect it? [07:12] try truecrypy [07:12] gasull: its easiest (and maybe only possible) when a fresh install is done, but during the partition stage of installation [07:12] sorry truecrypt [07:12] thats a fairly nice utility for encryption [07:13] mobasher: cat /boot/grub/device.map: "no such file or directory" [07:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Blackberry%20Sync%20with%20Ubuntu cryptopsy [07:13] tnx [07:13] oops [07:13] i dont want to sync it [07:13] if you want to though you can encrypt your whole system disk during the install (with the exception of /boot of course) [07:13] just mount it as block device [07:13] chownmount>> u know about this 10 install thing ? [07:13] thats how i do it [07:13] mobasher: sorry i don't follow, can you be more specific? are you trying to install ubuntu 10.04? [07:14] root swap all on encrypted lvm with a removable /boot === ServerTech is now known as ServerTech|Busy [07:14] chownmount>> not me gasull is ..he need some help..cna't find boot or device.map [07:15] and when i was single booting i used to do all that over a 4 disk raid hehe [07:15] gasull: in terminal, under / is boot and to find device.map, in terminal, do a sudo find / -name device.map [07:15] the alt install disk is awesome [07:15] mobasher, chownmount: fdisk /dev/sda and then pressing m should show the partitions in disk, right? [07:16] p shows partitions in fdisk not m [07:16] bazhang: how to verify this: Verify that libopensync0 is installed on your system. [07:16] p=print [07:16] ?? [07:16] gasull: sudo fdisk --list [07:16] or that [07:16] help ! what extension should play videos on my car by usb? [07:17] one the car supports [07:17] Why isn't avahi advertising my ssh server?

My computer connects to the Internet at some places but not at this one. [07:17] Wirelessly, that is. [07:18] chownmount, can i convert from flv to mpeg1? [07:18] heyyy...who knows how to address computers behind an ethernet switch [07:18] My password is correct. [07:18] Emanon, mp3 play videos? [07:18] err sorry mp4 [07:18] mistyped thanks for the catch [07:19] Wolf23: yes, using avidemux [07:19] MindVirus Whats does ifconfig display? [07:19] would be an m4v if you use handbrake for the conversion [07:19] gasull: all looks okay there, what are you specifically trying to do? [07:19] arista is also a nice transcoder [07:19] chownmount: I compiled the kernel as explained at http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=f0230328b82c45adb697b0b17b618d17&t=1341580 And now I get this at bootup: "Kernel panic - not syncing:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block". I didn't update GRUB. [07:19] etherealite: Huh. I am connected via IPv6. [07:20] gasull>> is this your boot device -> /dev/sda1 * 1 32 248832 83 Linux [07:20] MindVirus IPv6 what country are you in? [07:20] mobasher: yes [07:20] etherealite: USA. I am stoned and I could be wrong. [07:20] gasull>> can you mount it [07:20] But I have an "inet6 addr". [07:20] MindVirus then you don't need ipv6 [07:21] kneaux: address computers? it should plug and play if you have a dhcp server running on it. [07:21] etherealite: I know, but I am connected via IPv6. [07:21] I'd rather use v4. [07:21] maybe he wants more addresses on his lan [07:21] But I don't even know what I did here. [07:21] mkdir /media/sda1 then mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [07:21] chownmount, are u sure mpeg1 videos plays on usb on a pioneer? [07:21] MindVirus you you dont see inet addr:192.168.x.x ? [07:21] Wolf23: i didn't know it was pioneer, but mpeg1 is the oldest (in mpeg extension) [07:21] Why isn't avahi advertising my ssh server? [07:22] mobasher: here we are [07:22] etherealite: Negatory. [07:22] what is the model of your cars stereo or onboard computer or whatever [07:22] chownmount, thanx i will try :) [07:22] chownmount: mobasher: http://pastebin.com/cMrnzeh8 [07:22] MindVirus what does sudo iwconfig say? [07:22] Emanon, but my videos are flv, is there a way to convert them to mp4? [07:23] think handbrake or arista can do that Wolf23 [07:23] gasull>> goto grub and check the device.map against menu.lst [07:23] etherealite: So, I guess I'm not actually connected then. [07:23] Emanon, alright thanx [07:24] yea handbrake supports flv transcoding just checked [07:24] i just installed Shotwell and found out it doesn't support gif or png. How can I quickly convert a bunch of pictures to jpg? [07:24] sacarlson: i forgot i was asking this the last time i was here hehe [07:24] MindVirus I dunno send me a dpaste of the output of ifconfig [07:24] anyone ever had a strange issue with say backup.sh script that backup a folder and zipps it if you do ./backup.sh works great then when you have it in a cron job it does not back it all up right only like 300kb while doing the real ./backup does like 15mb [07:24] mobasher> can't find any of those files in /media/myboot/grub [07:24] hi,there [07:24] etherealite: That would sound great but I'm not connected to the Internet. [07:24] No USB drives. [07:24] sacarlson: i'm still trying to figure out how to connect remotely to a server i have on a lan where every machine has the same ip [07:25] i.e. they have local ips but to the internet they're the same [07:25] i've installed php5 on /etc [07:25] gasull>> what's in the grub ? [07:25] Wait, what the fuck? [07:25] port forwarding kneaux [07:25] I guess I am connected. [07:25] But to "". [07:25] if i wanna reinstall ubuntu the php5 folder will deleted? [07:26] make all connections on a certain port of the router forward to a certain internal ip [07:26] mobasher: http://pastebin.com/KeQADRhd [07:26] emanon i'm not sure my switch does that actually [07:26] is that the only way [07:26] its fairly simple thats how i manage my subsonic server from outside my lan [07:26] MindVirus when you type iwconfig it should say ESSID:"your network name" ### if it doesn't then your wireless isnt associated [07:26] emanon: are you on a router or a switch [07:26] router sorry [07:26] etherealite: It does. It says 'ESSID:""'. [07:26] gasull>> that's wierd...did you isntall grub like apt-get install grub [07:27] "Link Quality=10/100". [07:27] mobasher: http://pastebin.com/DxxBtY6e [07:27] kneaux try ddns? [07:27] MindVirus ESSID what? tell me what the essid is. [07:27] ( fscking office max is going to charge me a 15% "restocking" fee if i have to return it due to their total inability to tell me what device i needed ) [07:27] do you log into the switch like a router? or you just plug it in and leave it be? [07:27] etherealite: "". [07:27] kneaux: again they don't have the same ip they are just on the same local ip mask. to come in remote from outside that local network you will need to add nat forwarding settings you your router. [07:27] hey guys i just created a lamp server and installed phpmyadmin but im trying to access local host on chrom and its saying permission denied i dont have access [07:27] MindVirus your not associated with your wireless ap then [07:27] mobasher: can it be because I have my hard drive encrypted with LUKS: [07:27] ? [07:28] MindVirus re associate and see what happens [07:28] etherealite: I know, and I tried to associate with it. [07:28] emanon: i haven't been able to figure out how to connect to the switch yet, d-link's support is...not [07:28] sacarlson: again, switch, not a router, i'm not sure it's terribly configurable [07:28] gary_innyc: lemme look up ddns [07:28] MindVirus are you using wep or wpa? [07:28] try 192.168.1.1 in a web browser kneaux everyone likes that address [07:28] etherealite: WPA. [07:28] emanon: i know, right? everybody but dlink :\ [07:29] whats your switch model? [07:29] MindVirus and you typed in the right password and all [07:29] .Oh my goodness! It connected. [07:29] gasull>> not sure man..never done it with encyption...check with chownmount see if he can help not too familiar with it [07:29] d-link XXXXXXXX [07:29] I don't know what you did but it worked. Thanks etherealite. [07:29] kneaux: some switches are smart like cisco but most people use simple auto detect switches that just detect the mac address of each device that plugs in. [07:29] chownmount: what do you suggest now? http://pastebin.com/DxxBtY6e [07:29] MindVirus your welcome, when your having trouble connecting, just try and reconnect and that will fix %90 of all problems. [07:30] Why isn't avahi advertising my ssh server? [07:30] etherealite: I tried for like an hour earlier. :) [07:30] MindVirus did you try resetting the router too? [07:30] so is there a quick way to save a bunch of pics from gif to jpg? [07:30] etherealite: No. [07:30] Hey guys. Guess who's connected directly to the wall. [07:30] Me. [07:31] the wall? [07:31] MindVirus not to be an ass, but theres another obvious thing you could've tried there [07:31] I have a new hard drive (1T Hitachi on an older Dell) Linux (9.04,10.04, Fedora11) wont install. XP has installed. (I thought it was the CD drive which wont recognize a blank disk but now windows works.) The 9.04 disk has sucessfully installed before but not on this computer. That 9.04>>9.10 HD works on this Dell. What could be the problem? [07:32] #php [07:32] hey guys i just created a lamp server and installed phpmyadmin but im trying to access local host on chrom and its saying permission denied i dont have access [07:33] * gasull is seeking help at #grub [07:33] * kneaux is thoroughly embarrassed [07:33] what kind of file does ubuntu have in /etc? [07:34] gary_inNYC: look for batch image converter in synaptic [07:34] naser67, the bad kind [07:34] gary_inNYC: the 'convert' program in the ImageMagick suite claims it converts from GIF to JPEG. I've never used it myself... [07:34] chosen whats chrom? [07:34] k thanks [07:34] emanon: okay 192.168.anything.normal still doesn't work, even when i'm actually connected to the device in question [07:34] naser67: configuration files are stored in the folder [07:34] and the model is...des-1106 [07:35] k sec kneaux [07:35] etherealite, googlechrome [07:35] Besogon:how can i get backup from that? [07:35] my browser [07:36] i wanna keep my /var/www and /etc folder when i reinstall ubuntu [07:36] chosen dpaste the exact message [07:36] Besogon:i wanna keep my /var/www and /etc folder when i reinstall ubuntu [07:38] etherealite, http://pastebin.com/VM1HAWmG [07:38] naser67: I have never used backup (as I only user and reinstall ubuntu every half a year) but ask about backup of the boot channel. I saw there is a lot of programs for backup [07:39] etherealite, fixed it [07:39] had to chown [07:39] naser67: bot channel* [07:39] bot channel* [07:39] you still need to enter /phpmyadmin to it though. [07:39] boot channel [07:40] hi there [07:40] naser67: or channel bot* (How he is named there in English I don't know) [07:40] channel bot* [07:40] channel boot* [07:41] ?backup [07:41] IdleOne what is naser67 trying to do here? [07:41] yea doesnt appear to have management access sorry [07:42] etherealite: tell him about backup of some folders please. I don't know how ask the bot [07:42] etherealite: i'v got a problem and i need your advice [07:42] naser67 what about? [07:43] etherealite:is there a way to keep /var and /etc when i reinstall ubuntu [07:43] etherealite:sorry for my bad english [07:43] if you have them in separate partitions before you reinstall naser67 [07:43] and you define them during install and tell it not to format them [07:43] he can do it without [07:44] etherealite:how? [07:44] naser67 yes, but your going to need to use a boot disk and copy the files unto a seperate disk [07:45] etherealite this is assuming your installing the same exact version of ubuntu [07:45] and on the gif to jpeg thing earlier phatch will do that in large groups aparrently [07:45] Please help me...I have a new hard drive (1T Hitachi on an older Dell) Linux (9.04,10.04, Fedora11) wont install. XP has installed. (I thought it was the CD drive which wont recognize a blank disk but now windows works.) The 9.04 disk has sucessfully installed before but not on this computer. That 9.04>>9.10 HD works on this Dell. What could be the problem? [07:45] but i think separate partion is the best way [07:45] naser67 well its a little late for that isn't it? [07:45] tripelb: occasionally dark eldritch gods conspire to foil our installs [07:45] naser67 unless your already have separate partitions. [07:46] etherealite:no it's not [07:46] try it from a usb key yog sothoth doesnt keep up with technology [07:46] naser67: try '/msg ubottu backup' command [07:46] Besogon:tnx [07:47] also check your install has the right architecture (as in not 64 bit for a 32 bit cpu) [07:47] Emanon: It failed repeatedly. That's why I tried the Fedora disk. Even tho the Ubuntu disk checked out perfect I thought I dunno. I want to run ubuntu. Maybe there's something wrong with the hard drive? [07:47] should I try Ubuntu in a ;artition? [07:47] tripelb: try it on a usb drive if you can thats pretty fast [07:48] tripelb: also check your boot order and make sure the cd drive is available (unless your calling the boot menu manually) === Supertanker is now known as SuperJoplin [07:48] might also sacrifice a few annoying neighborhood kids to cthulhu that helps on occasion [07:48] Emanon yes it's the right one. An install from the same liveCD disk (installed on a computer with problem RAM that would freeze up) works just fine on this Dell. (this has frazzeled my brain, and what if my new HD is bad) [07:49] nah if anything installs its fine [07:49] right but that other computer might have a different cpu arch [07:50] Emanon: the liveCD loads as a liveCD system. But gparted quits. The Fedora just showed an error. It doesnt have a separate gparted. [07:50] oh it loads up on the one but wont install? [07:50] hmmm [07:50] maybe the starts just arent right i hope someone else can help you cause im at a loss [07:50] Emanon: The HD (with ubuntu from that livecd) works on both computers. That means that they have the same architecture. [07:51] If I'm in the Live CD, how do I chroot into my hard drive? I have my hard drive's root partition mounted already at /media/myboot [07:51] ftagn for now i guess [07:51] Emanon: thanks. Me too. I've been at this on one way or another for many weeks. Then I got tired of it and have been just using windows. [07:52] hey [07:53] !hi | spike__ [07:53] spike__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

[07:58] I tried that [07:58] Not all distros have problems with standby and laptops. Ubuntu does atm [07:58] no i mean spike__ reinstall [07:59] In fact, Ubuntu has never played nicely with laptops and standby [07:59] oh lol [07:59] i dont have a disk drive on my computer i have a netbook [07:59] reinstall from usb [07:59] mooseposse reinstalling will do nothing [07:59] how do i get in on a usb [07:59] unetbootin is pretty easy [08:00] install unetbootin from repository run it [08:00] specify distribution (ubuntu) version (9.10) and path to usb /dev/sd(something) [08:00] spike__ Emanon is right - unetbootin is easy to use. I've used it to install Ubuntu on many netbooks [08:00] it will download and install [08:00] i should've known [08:00] commie ethernet switch pinkos [08:01] won't do port forwarding to save their soul from hellfire [08:01] onto usb for easy installation from usb on reboot [08:01] Is there a way to fix it, I would use this all the time if it werent for the standby problem since I use this for school (this runs way smoother than windows) [08:01] ok is that a website [08:01] im not sure switches have souls [08:01] good morning [08:01] mooseposse nope [08:01] everything has a soul [08:01] no spike__ unetbootin is a program [08:01] ok thank you [08:01] nothing has a soul [08:01] lies [08:01] check in synaptic [08:01] hey all, was able to access the ubuntu server with putty, and now, if try to reconnect it will not give me the prompt to login ?

Enjoy your stay! [08:12] Noiano ask away, pappy [08:12] I'd like to receive a file via bluetooth but my phone doesn't "see" my pc.... [08:12] this is a locallan server [08:13] not a public server [08:13] Can i get help in installing wine [08:13] Four2zero can you ping the server? [08:13] Noiano and you are positive bluetooth is running on your PC? [08:13] for select distribution what do i pick [08:13] Transmitter, im able to access the ftp via filezilla and remote desktop via vnc [08:14] go into System>Preferences>Bluetooth and check make my computer visable [08:14] spike__: ubuntu [08:14] well, it should be turned on...rfkill lists the pc peripherical [08:14] bazhang: the blackberry page you gave me didn't work , and ive tried all the other folow ups int he forums [08:14] and then pick the right version [08:14] and make sure you have the right usb drive at the bottom [08:14] Emanon, there is no such checkbox [08:14] Noiano: go into System>Preferences>Bluetooth and check make my computer visable [08:14] hmm [08:15] Four2zero well, maybe you have firewalled the port you are trying to access. What are you actually trying to connect to? What service? [08:15] darn [08:15] Transmitter i changed the port to 2121 [08:15] wait what versionm are you using Noia [08:15] that all [08:15] Ok, how do i install wine [08:15] ServerTech|Busy: you can install Wine from Software Manager, or if you want the latest and greatest beta, check out the wine ppa [08:15] I do not need the beta [08:16] ServerTech|Busy: sudo apt-get install wine [08:16] ok [08:16] thz [08:16] *thx [08:16] np [08:16] Emanon, what version of what? :) [08:16] ubuntu [08:16] 10.04 [08:16] then make me visable should be at the top of the bluetooth config window [08:17] if you have a bluetooth dongle plugged in [08:17] I'll post a screenshoot [08:17] above "Friendly Name" [08:17] I see "bluethooth" disabled, if I click on turn on blueth nothing happens :( [08:18] Howdy all. So, I'm trying to set up a menu item, I've got the icon, the name, and the location but when it launches, it isn't running the same way as if I had clicked to open it. The file in question is the BOINC manager, which I have downloaded manually a while back and am in the middle of work units, otherwise I would probably just use the package provided. Main point being, why isn't it... [08:18] not in your panel [08:18] ...running normally from the menu item I created, and how do I fix it? [08:18] Noiano: in System manu preferences submenu bluetooth in there [08:19] hi, is there someone who has experience in setup wacom tablet on linux (while twinview is active (mean dual head)) [08:19] Spaztic_One: the shortcut you made might not have the same switches on the command as the original check the original with right click properties to see how it calls the target program [08:19] Emanon, look http://yfrog.com/miscreenshotbluetoothprefp [08:19] I'll try again another day. [08:20] do you have a bluetooth transmitter Noiano? [08:20] like on the computer [08:20] Emanon, it's embedded [08:20] on windows it works [08:20] I swear to god :) [08:20] Emanon: As far as I can tell it does not have any switches. === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:21] System>Administration>Hardware Drivers Noiano see if it needs a driver [08:21] Emanon, in there I can only see nvidia drivers ;) [08:21] Spaztic_One: dunno then hope someone can help you [08:21] hmmm maybe the bluetooth module you have is not supported yet [08:22] might consider googleing your model of computer + ubuntu 10.04 [08:22] with bluetooth in there somewhere [08:22] Transmitter, i did run screen after i've disconnected from the server, could that be the issue/ [08:22] ? [08:22] Emanon: The switches would be in the name,. correct? [08:22] Emanon, thanks [08:23] Spaztic_One: they would be in the command [08:23] like wine -s -om -ecommand [08:23] I am not seeing a command. [08:23] sec [08:25] does anyone have super ubuntu [08:25] Hi, i've a strange behaviour when i connect to Gnome via VNC.(Ubuntu 10.10, x11vnc or tightvncserver). The gnome-sessions starts, all seems to be working, but i press a key in e.g. gedit or terminal the windows closes. [08:25] Emanon: It is an executable, not a script. Don't know if that changes anything in regards to my question or finding the command. [08:25] http://imagebin.ca/view/hjCt3wGy.html [08:26] hahah...I used the wrong port...lol [08:26] up and running now [08:26] how do i add a custom menu [08:26] right click on your menu and hit "edit menu" [08:27] directly to the panel? [08:27] yea like on your applications menu [08:27] select edit menus then on the right select add menu [08:27] it puts it in one of the other menus [08:27] i want one far away in the middle of the panel [08:27] does anyone use super ubuntu [08:27] drag it out in the edit menu [08:28] spike__: probably.. but it isn't supported in this channel [08:28] oh [08:29] doesn't work [08:29] Emanon: Oh, of the launcher, not the file itself. Yes, the command is the path and then the file in said path. no switches. [08:29] what is the best of of the 9.10 ones [08:29] right click select add to panel then pick the drawer i guess [08:29] dunno then Spaztic_One [08:30] spike__: huh? you mean of kubuntu/ubuntu/xubuntu etc?

[08:44] spike__: yup [08:44] spike__: help you with what unetbootin? without knowing what your problem might be it is very hard to help. [08:45] axisys: you there? [08:45] spike__: live is just that you can run it from the cd.. a live cd, like the isos you download from ubuntu.com. Netinstall means it starts the installer and then downloads packages during the install.. ie you need a live internet connection for the install.. I have no idea what hdmedia is [08:46] Seito: yes, it's quite easy.. let me see if I can find a howto for you [08:46] tgywa: dns client? you might need to make sure that the file /etc/resolv.conf has a dns server that works in it [08:47] Thnx, Slart :) [08:47] Seito, : well you can try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=182764 [08:47] Thanks again. I hope it will help. Good luck! [08:49] tgywa: every os has a stub resolver on it, you dont need dns software. Make sure your resolv.conf is properly setup [08:49] How can i burn a Video DVD?

[08:55] Hello, I have two mice build into my laptop, a touchpad and a nipple, one of them is faulty and causes the cursor to constantly zoom off the screen [08:55] How can I disable the mouse [08:55] any IDE like Visual Studios, that allows you to code and compile automatic? [08:55] Doyle: I was thinking about a program which would be like a front-end for Flasm [08:55] Giles: Maybe an option in your bios. [08:55] I've tried eclipse but i can't download the software needed [08:56] Doyle: But now that I think about it, it can be an installable one, too [08:56] whosjose: the qt project comes with a small IDE (just one example) [08:56] Doyle: maybe, surely I can disable it in xorg.conf? [08:57] Where does xorg.conf live in ubuntu? [08:58] !ide | whosjose [08:58] whosjose: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [08:58] Giles: /etC/X11, but often it's not needed and doesn't exist. [08:58] Giles: /etc/X11/, sorry for the wrong caps. [08:58] Giles: there's a program called gpointing-device-settings, have a look at it [08:58] Giles: if your nub is listed you should just be able to turn it off [08:59] SwedeMike: mine doesn't exist, so how can I tell it what I do and don't want configured? [08:59] the checking if I'm human thing is new... [09:00] Slart: thanks! gotcha. The basics slip this late at night [09:01] Giles: well, you need to create one that has the sections and then you just need to add what you want changed from the defaults. you can look into the xorg.conf.failsafe , it should have the defaults. [09:01] Doyle: That app is perfect [09:01] Giles: nice [09:01] Giles: http://www.pastebin.ca/1937101 is mine. [09:02] SwedeMike: Thanks, but I solved my problem another way [09:02] Which programming language should I use if I want to make a cross-platform program? [09:03] Java? [09:03] JohnHeikkila: are you a programmer? [09:03] python? [09:03] ruby? [09:03] Doyle: Not really, but I've just coded a lot [09:03] html [09:03] Why HTML? [09:03] Doyle: I wouldn't call HTML a programming language [09:03] markup language [09:03] :P [09:03] mtx_init, ntpdate[1584]: name server cannot be used, reason: Temporary failure in name resolution [09:03] Java, Ruby, Python....etc [09:04] JohnHeikkila: every os in the world can read it. Encorporate backend languages and you can build web-apps [09:04] mtx_init, I do think that I have the right config lines in /etc/resolv.conf [09:04] Doyle: Yes but if I want to kinda make a front-end for Flasm? [09:04] JohnHeikkila: it really depends on your applcation [09:05] JohnHeikkila: He is right, but It depends what you want to do [09:05] tgywa: not sure, maybe ask on the forums [09:05] JohnHeikkila: there's no 'one' language for multi-platform applications... you could learn a few C languages, that's as close as youre going to get [09:05] JohnHeikkila: more traditional programming languages that are "cross-platform" are the ones I mentioned [09:06] JohnHeikkila: and yes, you can make any application cross-platform in almost any language [09:06] Giles: so you're now talking about the app I want to make a front-end for or the one I would make? [09:07] JohnHeikkila: if you're going to write a front end for flasm... it'd be best to write specifically for each OS you want to deploy the app on [09:07] flasm? [09:07] Sorry, my internet crashed. Giles, did you say something between this [09:07] My dns client is not resolving names on Ubuntu 10.04 ... any idea? [09:07] ntpdate[1584]: name server cannot be used, reason: Temporary failure in name resolution [09:07] no I said flasm [09:07] flasm? [09:07] My dns client is not resolving names on Ubuntu 10.04 ... any idea?? [09:08] Giles: "Flasm disassembles your entire SWF including all the timelines and events. " [09:08] Getting thise error: ntpdate[1584]: name server cannot be used, reason: Temporary failure in name resolution [09:08] JohnHeikkila: is flasm cross-platform [09:09] Giles: Yes [09:09] what does "hg clone " do? [09:09] JohnHeikkila: You want to write a GUI front-end? [09:09] Giles: Exactly [09:10] JohnHeikkila: I'd have to say Python would suit your needs best [09:10] Giles: Flasm is command line only [09:10] so [09:10] JohnHeikkila: it's licensing will be suitable for your situation I think considering your using Flasm [09:10] hi. i want to use left handed mouse cursor. i'm ok with default cursor as long it points right side. could anyone help me configure it. i can't find much options in admin tools to do it. [09:10] Doyle: Okay, good [09:11] AvionicX: System-->Preferences-->Mouse [09:11] AvionicX: From the system menu select System > Preferences > Mouse, click Left handed [09:11] Doyle: But th [09:11] Doyle: But the problem with Python is that I've never used it :( [09:11] Doyle» yes, the function is there. but the cursor is still left pointing which is kinda of weird to use when left handed mouse. :) [09:11] JohnHeikkila: So you could write it in C++ with QT [09:12] JohnHeikkila: C and GTK [09:12] JohnHeikkila: Python and PyQT [09:12] JohnHeikkila: Java and Swing === hihihi100 is now known as your_favorite_ni === your_favorite_ni is now known as hihihi100 [09:13] Giles: Okay, thank you. [09:13] JohnHeikkila: what is flasm writtern in btw [09:13] JohnHeikkila: learn it... You've messed around with programming so you should understand enough to dive in relatively quickly [09:13] AvionicX: Did you logout and login? [09:14] Doyle» oh, nope. it pointer change automatically? [09:14] the* [09:14] ok, let me try relog. [09:15] Giles: All I know is "flasm was written by Opaque Industries (http://www.opaque.net/)" [09:15] my sound doesnt work and calling alsaconf is in vain [09:16] ubuntu 10 [09:16] last one, just downloaded [09:16] Giles: Flasm was written in C === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [09:17] Any one to help me with: kernel: [ 3342.350118] eth0: no IPv6 routers present [09:17] on ubuntu 10.04 [09:17] ? [09:17] hi, anyone know how to change my laptop IP? [09:17] wizzle: ifconfig ? [09:18] is there any way to fix this when i close my laptop lid the mouse cursor will disappear? [09:18] wizzle, system -> preferences -> network configuration [09:18] jakeriver, how do you know it's dissapeared if the lid is closed? [09:19] Simon-MPFH, can u give me some tutorial? [09:19] Doyle» it didn't change anything. the cursor is still left pointing. [09:19] Kinda depends what the context is... Most laptops pick up an address from DHCP from the router [09:19] jakeriver: updat eyour system, it was reported as a bug a few months ago [09:19] Why do you need to change it? [09:19] Simon-MPFH: ;). when i open it again the mouse is gone. i can still move the cursor but i don't see it. then i just need to restart again. [09:20] jakeriver, Ah, I C. Is your system fully up to date? Which Ubuntu are you on? [09:21] xjkx, after type ifconfig in Terminal and what next? [09:21] how to install all the packages in ubuntu which are installed in BackTrack?? [09:21] i think this is 10.04 and yes it is fully updated. i did some googling and this is an old bug already 2008 noticed. [09:21] can i do that?? [09:21] wizzle: i'm not sure what you want to do, but if you want to change the local ip, you could ifconfig 10.0.0.2 eth0 for example, being eth0 your ethernet card, by ifconfig command you can see the list [09:22] the list of ethernet cards [09:22] AvionicX: ok, is your system fully up to date? [09:22] can anyone help me with trying to fix mailman ? [09:22] xjkx, how to know my current ip? [09:23] ifconfig [09:23] jakeriver, recover from sleep has always been a bit of a problem - do you sleep or hibernate on lid close? try the other and see if that helps [09:23] Doyle» yes. [09:23] AvionicX: What kind of mouse is it? [09:23] wizzle: like canadacow said, ifconfig with no arguments give you the information, like ip, MAC, ethernet cards [09:24] where will i get the packages which are installed in backtrack?? [09:24] xjkx, so which line is my current ip? [09:24] to install them in ubuntu??? [09:24] Simon-MPFH: ok, i'll try that. it was now "when lid is closed: blank screen" but i'll try suspending now. thank you. [09:25] Doyle: It turns out that its the nipple thats faulty not the touchpad, and gpointer-device-settings will only let me disable the touchpad ;( [09:25] wizzle: theone that says inet addr: for the interface your'e using... wlan - wireless for example. [09:25] wizzle: if you don't see a number looking like an ip, maybe it's not even set, you could set it yourself just so you'd know the number. keep in mind that it changes the local ip [09:25] Doyle» heh, i don't think it is a mouse problem. i notice that ubuntu by default don't have opposite pointing cursors. i'll try add a right pointing cursor and set it. thanks anyway. :) [09:25] Giles: When you asked earlier, Flasm is written in C [09:26] faulty nipples, always the faulty nipples [09:26] i need help with the following: From now on, when connecting to freenode, you should identify using the command « /msg nickserv identify your_nickname your_chosen_password ». If you don't want to have to do this, you can set your password as the server password; how this is done depends on your IRC client. [09:26] Giles: ok, did you check the BIOS yet? [09:26] how do i set my psswrd as the server passwd' [09:26] ? [09:26] JohnHeikkila: its harder to write cross-platform c programs not impossible [09:26] /msg nickserv identify anand ite08005 [09:26] im using xchat [09:26] oh the fail [09:26] Giles: Yeah, but they've managed [09:27] Doyle: I am looking for a solution that I can do without rebooting at this stage. [09:27] Could some explain why my titlebar buttons are on the left rather than the right? [09:27] Doyle, ok i see it. how to change it? [09:27] JohnHeikkila: give up on writing one app for multiple platforms, I don't htink you're at that level [09:27] JohnHeikkila: it requires alot of conditional compilation [09:28] wizzle: in case you're having troubles understanding where the ip is, you could paste the result of the command in pastebin.com [09:28] is there a shell command that allows the nth line + 5 to be printed out, e.g. lines 200-205? [09:28] Giles: fail... reboot. You're not working on a server are you? [09:28] Oh well [09:29] wizzle: the best way to go about is to read up.. heres a good example. http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/06/how-to-configure-static-ip-addresses-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [09:30] Doyle: The bios thing might be a solution, can you think of another? [09:30] wizzle: there is also the graphical solution, system -> networking [09:30] where would it be "correct" to save script data? [09:30] Doyle: What about only for linux? [09:30] Doyle: Spend hours researching, maybe days, then finally find out which process thred is responsible for running the nib and kill it... or you could reboot and fix it in 5 minutes [09:30] thanks you all. Doyle & xjkx [09:31] np [09:31] Doyle: yes I want to do it the hard way [09:31] Hey I'm having a weird problem fullscreening flash videos on dualhead [09:31] "running the nib"? [09:31] ll [09:31] JohnHeikkila: Language choice is all up to personal preference. If you know a language already try doing using it, if not, learn Python [09:31] where will i get the packages which are installed in backtrack?? to install in ubuntu [09:32] Giles: I can't support the hard way since I'm going to bed. Good luck though [09:32] gnight all. [09:32] anyone know how to change the task panel icon for a program? [09:33] who in here is using 10.10 [09:33] ubuntu 10.10 [09:34] spike__, am using tht [09:34] Doyle: Okay, thank you. [09:34] spike__: #ubuntu+1 is for 10.10 [09:34] spike__, wats the matter [09:34] i was seeing how does it run do u have any problems with it [09:35] spike__, it s not as gud as 9.04 [09:35] spike__, but gui is great [09:35] spike__: Probably better to ask in #ubuntu+1 thats the support channel for it until its released and most people there would be using it and probably able to give you more detail/answers [09:35] Emanon: right click on the icon, select properties, click icon, pick icon image you want. [09:36] how do i set your password as the server password for your Ubuntu IRC connection? [09:36] i had 9.10 then updated to the 10.4 [09:36] xchat [09:36] i mean like the icon that shows on its task bar when its open [09:36] not for the shortcur sacarlson [09:36] hihihi100, ask in #freenode [09:36] Emanon: yes on the panel right click it [09:37] doesnt show any entries for properties [09:37] Emanon: oh after the application opens? I guess that depends on the program. [09:37] yea thats why im asking [09:38] ok i will go ask them [09:38] ALL : WHAT YOU LIKE MORE IN UBUNTU THAN OTHER DISTRO"S???? [09:38] im in a test user so i can see if i can change everything to look like windows and see if my dad notices [09:38] AnanD23, lose the caps [09:38] AnanD23: and dont start a flame war [09:38] AnanD23, please take that to #ubuntu-offtopic [09:38] i din mean that to flame war [09:38] AnanD23, wrong channel [09:39] ok, sorrY [09:39] :) [09:39] #ubuntu+1 [09:40] how do i s\go to #ubuntu+1 [09:40] Could some explain why my titlebar buttons are on the left rather than the right? [09:40] spike__, /join #ubuntu+1 [09:40] oh ok [09:40] WillPittenger: just the new thing you can change em back if you like [09:40] Emanon: I think your looking for themes as in System>preference>apperence. I have heard of setups that mimic windows but I never tried it. [09:41] Emanon: How? I didn't see anything in Appearance for that. [09:41] sec ill find it WillPittenger [09:41] im new to this chat thing just got it [09:41] !controls | WillPittenger [09:41] WillPittenger: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [09:42] oh there you go WillPittenger listen to him ubottu is smart [09:42] It worked. Why isn't there a option in Appearance for it? [09:43] How can I disable my laptops built in mice, and use an external one instead, the built in ones are faulty [09:44] Giles: Do you mean disable a touchpad? [09:44] yes, and also a nipple which is builtin [09:45] Trackpoint? [09:45] !touchpad | Giles There's a section in Ubottu's link about how to disable the touchpad [09:45] Giles There's a section in Ubottu's link about how to disable the touchpad: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [09:45] WillPittenger: Oh its called a trackpoint? [09:45] hahaha that's funny "nippple [09:45] Well, that was IBMs name for it when they invented it. [09:46] Emanon: is this what you were looking for http://www.thevarguy.com/2010/01/05/ubuntu-linux-clone-looks-like-windows-xp/ problem with this one I think it's chinese? [09:46] Giles, system> preference > mouse> touchpad tab [09:46] hi all, how can i tell the (k)ubuntu installer not to mess up with my preexisting MBR??? [09:47] hello [09:47] !welcome | maruseru [09:47] maruseru: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [09:48] DJones: okay, this tells me how to disable the touchpad, how can I disable the Trackpoint? [09:48] Giles: I'm not sure about the trackpoint, its not something I've ever looked into [09:48] DJones: I am begining to think that its the trackpoint that is faulty not the touchpad [09:50] i have a ? [09:50] does anyone know where firefox saves search engines .xml files on ubuntu 10.04? [09:52] can some one help me [09:52] maruseru /usr/share/firefox/searchplugins/ [09:53] thanks! [09:53] Hi everyone, hopefully someone will have experience with this. I know it's not strictly ubuntu but.... [09:53] Does anyone know how to disable my TrackPoint the damn thing is driving me crazy! [09:54] Can I use the same ssl certificate set on two different servers [09:54] (with apache) [09:54] Giles: Just a thought, is there an option in the laptops bios to disable the Trackpoint? [09:54] one is accessed by users in a certain office, one is accessed by those on the internet [09:54] Giles have you tried bios of your ibm? [09:54] DJones: no I just checked [09:55] erupter: its a Sony not IBM [09:55] Giles, im not sure about the trackpoint or if you can mess with it with xorg.conf.. maybe you can check /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d directory if you have the touchpad settings there [09:55] Is there a way to set up a shortcut to always open something with root priledges? [09:55] Giles and it has a trackpoint? never heard... anyway it may have an option in the bios [09:55] (Or at least attempt it?) [09:56] giles@masala:/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d$ ls [09:56] 05-evdev.conf 10-synaptics.conf 10-vmmouse.conf 10-wacom.conf [09:56] DeanLearner: I think you can, you would need to have a cert that has *.yoursite.com so that one used comp1.yoursite.com comp2.yoursite.com [09:56] erupter: no option in bios [09:56] /usr/share/firefox/searchplugins/ there is no folder named searchplugins, only one named defaults [09:57] maruseru try /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins [09:57] maruseru or /usr/lib64/firefox-x.x.x/searchplugins/ [09:58] DeanLearner: I guess you wouldn't even need that if they were on different networks as long as the sitename.com was the same the cert would also work. [09:58] sacarlson : fantastic, thank you, was just about to follow up and ask that :) [09:59] thanks erupter, its /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins [09:59] maruseru you're welcome [09:59] vinok: I can't see anything in those files relating to my trackpoint [09:59] sacarlson: because in the office the dns for something.domain.com points to a local address, where as outside the office, it's our colo server [09:59] WillPittenger: right click on the shortcut and choose Properties. Change the shortcut to call 'gksu ' [10:00] vinok: gpointer-device-settings calls it a DualPoint Stick [10:00] Excuse me, anyone of you here successfully ran visual basic using wine? [10:00] DeanLearner: yes as long as your local dns server gave the correct lookup for your local mysite.com it should work. === ServerTech is now known as ServerTech|Busy [10:02] Giles, sorry if its not there, i don't know how to do it anymore =( [10:02] sacarlson: much appreciated, thanks for your help [10:02] DeanLearner: I assume you have something like bind9 dns server that gives the local network the ip's they need. [10:02] This used to be such a simple task, you just remove the device from xorg.conf [10:03] sacarlson: Kind of yeah, we are quite small scale, so there's just a DNS entry on the router pointing to the local server [10:03] (I guess that could be running bind in the background though) [10:04] DeanLearner: well if your clients ping mysite.com from your local network and get the address of your apache2 server then it will work. [10:04] good good, thanks again [10:04] vinok: for example http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-395197.html [10:06] see heres my abomination in progress http://imagebin.org/113480 [10:06] vinok: but /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist on my system [10:07] Emanon: looks perfect to me I can't tell. [10:07] Giles the xorg.conf is empty from release 9 or so [10:08] look at the tray [10:08] Giles, yeah it should be like that... what happen to xorg.conf? is it empty? [10:08] the firefox icon is still there [10:08] Giles and if you used to remove lines then it's no use... [10:08] guess no one cares to help me [10:08] Giles but if you had a line citing your device and could set it to "disable" or the likes, then you can still manually populate the xorg.conf [10:08] spike__: you never asked a question...or are we supposed to guess? [10:08] not if you keep asking to ask spike__ [10:09] !ask | spike__ [10:09] spike__: 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. :-) [10:09] hurrah: xinput set-int-prop "DualPoint Stick" "Device Enabled" 8 0 [10:09] erupter, im using 10.4 and its not empty though [10:09] Thank god for that. [10:09] [bump] Excuse me, anyone of you here successfully ran visual basic using wine? [10:09] anyways switching back to main user and wiping this abomination unto stallman from my machine [10:09] vinok i fought with it, i learned that by default from new releases the xorg.conf is empty as xorg autodetects everything [10:10] !appdb | erdnase [10:10] erdnase: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [10:10] giles glad for you :p [10:10] Giles, problem solved? [10:10] yep [10:10] xinput [10:10] see above [10:10] Slart, I was there, no one answe- nvm, someone just did. Thanks. [10:11] erdnase: did you check the website? they have long lists of applications and how well they run under wine [10:11] ok on unetbootin which one is ubuntu is better the 9.10 live, or 9.10 hdmedia, or 9.10 netinstall [10:11] th0r: Doesn't work. [10:11] Slart, There are? I'll check, thank you. [10:11] !best | spike__ [10:11] spike__: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:11] I tried two different programs. [10:11] WillPittenger: you using kde or gnome? === OmegaPhil1 is now known as OmegaPhil [10:12] gnome, I think. [10:12] WillPittenger: open a terminal and type 'gksu gedit' and see if it prompts for a password [10:12] yeah best [10:13] th0r: It did. [10:13] WillPittenger: then the same thing should work for a launcher....just add 'gksu ' in front of the command for the launcher [10:14] I tried the standard file manager and dolphin. Didn't work for either. [10:14] Hello. How can i revert the root back to its default state because i changed its password and now its a fully active account [10:14] Neither program even opened. [10:15] WillPittenger: does the launcher work at all? sounds like the shortcut might be bad [10:15] WillPittenger: I can't be too specific about either of those programs as I use xfce and don't have them on my system [10:16] I took gksu off the file browser item and it worked. [10:16] nautilus --no-desktop --browser [10:17] anAngel: I think there is a switch for passwd that removes the password entirely.. you'll have to check the man page [10:17] WillPittenger: then adding gksu in front of that should open the file manager as root...I would think. Don't think there is anything 'special' about nautilus [10:18] WillPittenger: try it in a terminal and see if the command line works [10:18] Slart: passwd -d [10:18] I just readded gksu and it doesn't work anymore [10:19] th0r: I got a help page for gksu. [10:19] ikonia: ah.. that sounds like the one.. thanks. anAngel, did you see what ikonia said three lines up? [10:19] WillPittenger: try gksudo instead of gksu [10:20] th0r: just fyi, "gksu nautilus" works just fine here on 64bit 10.04 [10:20] th0r: from a gnome terminal, that is [10:20] Slart: yeap thanks i was reading the man pages anyway [10:20] Slart: yeah...I thought it should work [10:20] ikonia: thanks [10:20] th0r: It would really help if there was a property for that in the launcher property window. [10:21] Failed. [10:21] In the command line, same problem. [10:21] have problem with "Wacom Graphire4 4x5" tablet is working but have no idea how to enable Option "Twinview" "horizontal" Option "TVresolution" "1280x1024,1920x1080" it was working until i reinstaled gimp [10:21] sudo works. [10:22] WillPittenger: try gksu 'nautilus --' Maybe the single quotes would help [10:22] WillPittenger: su would work but you would have to run it in a terminal. [10:22] That did it. [10:23] But then it said it couldn't find /home/will%u. [10:24] WillPittenger, what's the exact command you typed ? [10:24] gksu "nautilus --no-desktop --browser " [10:25] please help me somebody [10:25] I don't know where the underscore came from. [10:25] WillPittenger, try forcing it to go to a specified path, ie gksu "nautilus --no-desktop --browser /" [10:25] sudo seems to work. [10:26] I really need a help on how to make live USB work [10:27] I don't need much explanations, but really there is a low level problem with the ubuntu image that prevents its booting [10:27] I just get literally 'Boot error' [10:28] I tried that on two computers and I do know that both work with USB sticks [10:28] MaximLevitsky, : what system do you runing (means in what system do you wan to create live usb) [10:28] apoage: Ubuntu 10.04 [10:28] apoage: and I have seen the same problem on 9.04 [10:28] Slart: thanks again i found the solution but the root default state is locked password - ¨passwd -l root¨ can revert the root to its default state like when ubuntu is installed so logon, su and similar things don't work [10:29] apoage: I also tried to use alternative usb disc creater [10:29] anAngel: ah.. didn't know that.. good hunting =) [10:29] don't remember its name though [10:29] doesn't help at all [10:29] its something with the image, and I really need the stick now [10:30] MaximLevitsky, i sounds like you dont have set boot mark on usb image partion or something like it [10:30] * MaximLevitsky checks [10:30] Hey is there anybody who can help? [10:31] apoage: nope, all set [10:31] apoage: also I get same error message on 2 computers [10:31] Installation troubles: can't get to the installation welcome screen, everything's a graphical corruption. [10:31] NOMODESET doesn't work. [10:31] jongolia: nvidia card? [10:31] manufacture: ASUS K40IN, Nvidia GEforce G102M [10:32] jongolia: try to google around about how to disable nouveau [10:32] aight, one moment. [10:32] MaximLevitsky: hmm and is boot sequence in bios set to include boot from usb?? [10:32] thanks. [10:33] apoage: yep, I even select it manually [10:33] apoage: boot fails after bios passes control === denny_ is now known as denny [10:34] apoage: assuming that live usb isn't broken for everyone, my only assumption is that partition sizes somehow choke the loader [10:34] doesn't allowing the main user to execute any command as root, open up more security issues than just having the root account enabled? i don't see what security disabling it buys you [10:35] cast: sure [10:35] does sshd disable root login in the stock package? [10:36] @BoltClock Hello. [10:36] jongolia: hi [10:36] MaximLevitsky: thinking ... [10:37] Hi. can anyone tell where on earth is the 64bit i386 architecture version for Ubuntu, because i can onlt find amd64 and i'm not using AMD... [10:38] Davsank, they're the same [10:38] !amd64 | Davsank [10:38] Davsank: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [10:38] erUSUL how about Intel then? [10:38] Davsank: AMD designed the architecture so they choose the name [10:39] Davsank, same [10:39] erUSUL So how caome i see packages built for i 386? [10:39] Davsank: intel processors implement the amd64 architecture. ( they call it EMT64 ) [10:39] Davsank: that's for 32 bits [10:40] erUSUL: EM64T, but now they call it Intel 64, and it is slightly different to AMD64 [10:40] erUSUL: is there an EMT64 version then? or is i 386 considered to be 32 bit? [10:40] cast: intel64 is itanium and has nothing to do with pc's [10:40] MaximLevitsky: ehm wile you have coppyed system(live iso or something) on usb try to reinstall mbr on usb by "install-mbr /dev/your_usb_device" [10:40] Davsank: the amd64 version is compatible with *both* intel and amd cpu's [10:40] erUSUL: no. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_64#Intel_64 [10:41] Davsank: i can say it louder but i can not say it clearer [10:41] apoage: I used ubuntu's disk creator [10:42] ? [10:42] use the amd64 version [10:42] it's important to note that Intel 64 and AMD64 are *not* identical, though as far as most users go it doesn't matter [10:43] hey there is ppc ubuntu supported here? [10:43] it will work [10:43] !ppc | cramhead [10:43] cramhead: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [10:43] well im trying to install it on a powerbook g4 but it hangs when trying to pass the 3rd screen (selecting keyboard layout) [10:44] when do you guys think gnome3 will be shipped with a stable version of ubuntu? [10:44] ttiicc, I would say not before 11.10 or 12.04, but that's just a guess [10:45] ttiicc: soon enough [10:45] okej [10:45] which's the big differences between debian and ubuntu [10:46] ttiicc, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:46] I have been working in debian and I would like to try out ubuntu, what will be the biggest differences?

At the select keyboard layout bit [10:49] boobs [10:50] hello [10:50] how can i add a new partition to my 300GB hdd ? [10:51] MaximLevitsky: one more try just try to setup in bios usb as first bootable device .. but have no idea why it is refusing to boot [10:51] apoage: BIOS does boot it [10:51] Alborz: look at gparted [10:51] apoage: the code in the bootloader in the stick fails [10:52] I tried and created two partitions but it says they are both mounted on same place [10:52] someone plz clarify this mount thing [10:53] Alborz: it is alredy mounted. check the output of « cat /proc/mounts » [10:54] MaximLevitsky, ehh wel you firs sad it have error after boot while boot loader fails i thing it is caused by some incompatybylity/bug or something try another disk image [10:54] apoage: that could be [10:54] apoage: meanwhile I found this http://www.rigadicomando.org/node/58 [10:54] hi [10:55] my movie player sometimes mutes the sound when Im playing mkv files what to do?

[10:57] the default [10:57] MaximLevitsky, yes this is the hard way .. but sometimes it helps [10:57] !ping [10:57] pong [10:57] Kills, I would suggest using another one such as VLC or mplayer [10:57] Kills, use vlc 1.1.4 [10:57] mplayer doesn't work at all [10:58] it only palys sound -.- [10:58] MaximLevitsky, try the last step qemu /dev/sdb [10:58] buh.. what's the point of a ping/pong bot if it doesn't show the round trip time/// [10:58] apoage: I did, and it works,,,, [10:58] i hope vlc is better on ubuntu than on windows [10:58] Davsank, timestamps ? [10:58] Davsank, please stay on topic /msg ubottu factoid [10:58] is there a way to copy your ubuntu installation from one partition to another and then install windows on the partition that ubuntu used to be installed on?

[13:58] gp5st: mine is owned by root [13:58] ChogyDan, i'll give that a try (multiple forums said different things) [13:59] how get user detail with command line like directory etc [13:59] undecim: yeah, its set to 51200 at the moment [13:59] Bayles, what user details? [13:59] gp5st: -rw------- 1 root root 0 2009-10-29 12:43 .Xauthority [13:59] like its directory [13:59] I can not find my network printer, mozilla is not loading web sites, installation of ubuntu was from the alternate cd [13:59] Bayles, ? [14:00] ChogyDan, 600 root:root size 0 [14:00] Does anyone know why this conditional in conky would be giving a result in Arch that is opposite what I get in Ubuntu? I'm guessing it's a bug in this conky version: ${if_existing /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate up} [14:00] Bayles, you mean who owns it? ls -l and ls -la (the a whill show . and hidden files) [14:00] sniperjo_: Do you know what size the video is? [14:00] Bayles: look at "finger" [14:01] sniperjo_: Also, can you install an extension to see what headers the site is returning with the video? It may send a "no cache" header. [14:01] undecim: 42.5mb [14:01] undecim: well do the contents of /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate differ? What does $if_existing do? [14:01] ChogyDan, i had an issue with tmp not being writable earlier and had to start mysql by hand. It's a symptom of a larger problem i'm waiting for hardware to fix, is there anything i might have to start by hand? [14:01] undecim: or "if_existing" i guess [14:01] or any reason it wouldn't be able to get a proper lock on a file? [14:02] jrib: if_existing checks for the existence of a file, and also checks the contents of the file for the first parameter given to if_existing [14:02] i want know where is www-data user directory [14:02] undecim: k, so what are the contents on each system? [14:02] jrib: In this case, it should be true if eth0 is up (which it's not) and false when it's down [14:02] Bayles: why? [14:02] jrib: Contents of the files are identical [14:02] Bayles, it may not have one. look at /etc/passwd [14:02] gp5st: maybe you need to delete it? I really have no idea. I would think that lock files get deleted after use.. [14:03] jrib: .conkyrs is copied directly from the other system backup (which is up-to-date) [14:03] undecim: ubuntu version or arch version isn't doing what you expect? [14:03] ChogyDan, there isn't anything in tmp besides some files the webserver makes, and i have rm'd the .Xauthority file. thanks for the help, though [14:03] hello [14:03] jrib: Arch. (i know this is an Ubuntu channel, lol) [14:03] jrib: I also have a similar conditional for wlan0, which is currently up, but it's returning false, which it shouldn't be... [14:04] undecim: #archlinux can probably help better. Maybe they use different permissions somewhere? Don't know [14:04] Bayles: "finger www-data" [14:04] Bayles: getent passwd www-data [14:04] jrib: Yeah, I was omw there [14:05] okay thenks [14:05] undecim: you haven't asked in the last 3 hours though :) [14:05] jrib: Can someone give me their conky version?

If you change the interface to be static you are taking over "ownership" of it and network manager lets it go [14:43] mbeierl, you are not understanding one moment i will explain more in a sec === Drew is now known as Drew571 [14:44] glebihan: any ideas on my sound conundrum? [14:45] hi all I am on vmware, how do I copy folder to my windows via samba ? if so how do I know my samba is workin fine ? [14:45] bonez2046: sorry, no, what's your sound card model ? [14:45] I have my wired connection set with a static IP. I used the network manager GUI to set all of this [14:46] I also want to have a USB network connection for my N900 so that when I connect it I can ssh to it, mount it etc. which is what that N900 entry in the interfaces file is for [14:46] grrr the printscr key doesn't work :( [14:46] however when I add the N900 entry and restart network manager my ethernet connection vanishes and I have no internet connection [14:46] glebihan: 80:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10) [14:47] I need to have both interfaces running at the same time [14:47] does ubuntu have any problems with nvidia? [14:47] not hide the eth0 and show the n900 and vice versa [14:47] hasch, I think no [14:47] I have WinTV-NOVA-T PCI. And I cannot use that card [14:47] Bert-: you'll find the "Take screenshot" tool in Applications->Accessories [14:47] mbeierl, does that make sense? [14:47] how I can blacklist module? [14:47] glebihan: it's on mobo.. it works well when it works, but over time it drops and requires a reboot to get working again. I'd just like to figure out why so I can revive sound without the reboot [14:47] I always used nvidia on my linux computers [14:47] http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T_PCI [14:48] there is no entry in my interfaces file for my eth0 connection, somehow Ubuntu is handling that [14:48] IMPORTANT NOTICE: In 2.6.27 and possibly other kernel versions, the Alsa snd-aw2 driver will blindly grab all saa7146 devices preventing them from working. Blacklist the snd-aw2 driver to prevent this happening. [14:48] DAGr8 the command was meant to be tried on your linux terminal, this way you get to verify your settings before leaving your linux station [14:48] jcrawford: this is in your /etc/network/interfaces? there MUST be an entry there.. [14:48] will somebody know how to blacklist modules? :) [14:49] bonez2046, the only entry in /etc/network/interfaces is the one I ADDED for the N900 [14:49] my eth0 connection is not in that file [14:49] jcrawford: how do you like your n900? [14:49] somebody? [14:49] !blacklist > robotti^ [14:49] robotti^, please see my private message [14:49] to setup the eth0 connection I used System -> Preferences -> Network Connections and set my static ip there etc. [14:50] bonez2046: try "alsactl init" [14:50] glebihan: is that info useful for my sound issue? [14:50] bonez2046, i like it so long as I can get this networking to work properly lol [14:50] it's odd to me that if i add the N900 configuration and restart i lose my ethernet connection :( [14:50] ==>> Holaa <<== [14:50] Hello.

[15:11] Bert-: are you sure the keyboard model is correct ? [15:11] dajhorn: thanks. now I have 5 tabs, what should I do? [15:11] dajhorn: as you can see, there are actually 3 unallocated, I can make only one more Extended or Logical, but either with 5GiB or 3.54 GiB. How can I merge these two?

[15:12] I tried NEC/SK-6200 [15:12] Or if you have a special video card, you will need to go through it's settings to change it. [15:12] i have ati drivers installed [15:12] ati control center [15:12] Floggg: You probably won't be able to use the first bit of slack space. Try moving /dev/sda3, which might coalesce the unallocated space. gparted won't know how to do this for some filesystems. [15:13] go there to change it. [15:13] dajhorn: option "Proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)" is checked... [15:13] but why would ubuntu not be in full screen [15:13] but ok gonna try, tnx [15:13] I have a Dell Latitude E6510 (Intel Core i5) laptop that always seems to lock up yet I can ssh into it. The dmesg output is full of back traces: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/9zhfMvL7 [15:13] dajhorn: thanks, will try. [15:14] should I just open an issue for that ^ ? [15:14] hi folks [15:14] uberub1: Okay, that is what needs to be enabled. Install nvidia-glx-185 directly, or do an `apt-get update; apt-get install nvidia-current` at a terminal prompt. [15:14] Bert-: what's your keyboard/computer model ?

[15:15] dajhorn: it worked, thank you very much :) [15:15] hello [15:15] ServerTech|Busy: The -j switch tells `make` to spawn more than one build process, which will use more than one CPU core.

[15:17] ServerTech|Busy: Note that recent build systems will automagically max-out the number of available cores. Do a compile, run `top`, push '1', and check whether you're seeing 100% cpu usage. [15:17] I have a problem with my wireless card, it is working, sudently it will disconnect , then when i try to reconnect it will not, it will time out and I have to restart my system to be able to connect [15:18] if my usb live disk boots straight into say a guest user account,does that mean its non persistant? [15:18] Also, regarding http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/9zhfMvL7 , my laptop is currently in this hung state and I'd be willing to provide any additional information that may be useful for debug [15:18] the logfile saying time out [15:18] hello i got a script to mount my iso files easily but when i right click mount it attempts to mount iso tells me the file about to mount then says unable ... script im using http://tinyurl.com/32yqv6 and its in this folder ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ .. script appears in right click menu and script has permissions any ideas why wont mount ? [15:18] I am getting all these dev, sda IO errors and i cant even run any commands through terminal. This happens when i try to mount my dying windows drive. any ideas. also all my programs start haning randomly. [15:18] thx [15:18] I got it [15:19] Also, i can't run any programs besides the programs i currently have open [15:19] is it possible to get a timestamp in .xsession-errors ? [15:19] DragonKeeper: You are reimplementing something that is already in Ubuntu.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:20] please help me. its urgent. i have stuff on my dying windows partition that I need urgently and my computer is not letting me mount that drive. when i try to, i get millions of IO errors when i do ctrl-alt-f1 [15:20] ann archive mounter says is CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format but i have used this iso before and it worked :S [15:20] all* [15:21] ashiswin: not sure there is much anyone can do. Just try to get your stuff off [15:21] now it says that my filesystem is a readonly filesystem. Any idea?? [15:21] wut i thought i was registered [15:21] ChogyDan, I can't even mount the drive [15:21] so, i had 17" monitor when installing ubuntu and after some time i switched to 19". since then ubuntu would not go full screen. resolution is 1280 1024.problem was solved by changing refresh rate from 60 to 85. [15:21] DragonKeeper: The script is probably failing because your $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS variable is unquoted, and because you are very likely stacking your mount points. Think about using `mktmp` or something like it. [15:21] could have sworn i was regged [15:21] ashiswin: that would be part of it failing [15:22] ashiswin: if you can read the data, then back it up immediately. If not, you really care about the data, and you don't have backups, you should probably stop using the drive right away and pay someone [15:22] olk ill try [15:22] Bert-: seems you're not the only having troubles with the keyboard on this computer, but I can't get to find a solution [15:22] DragonKeeper: The mounter can be confused by ISO files that have more than one filesystem. What is in the ISO? [15:22] back up of a game [15:22] i just read "http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=1707", and i was thinking what are all the factors keeping me from replacing the windows workstations by ubuntu workstations ... the windows domain. what is the open source alternative for windows domains?

[15:23] KTL: Winbind, Samba, Likewise [15:23] KTL: samba, i think [15:23] those are the servers [15:23] and sharing systems [15:23] but can a ubuntu be a domain client too? [15:24] KTL: They run on the workstations to provide authentication and things like nss. [15:24] i file shared between ubuntu and winxp in home network [15:24] so, is there any method of mounting the dying partition? [15:24] with samba. but im newb, google has an answer [15:25] * KTL thinks about it === undifined_ is now known as UndiFineD [15:25] leave [15:25] ashiswin: try hdd regenerator [15:25] liberan: If your bad disk won't mount, then you need to make a raw copy of it.

[15:26] dajhorn, could you explain to me this on PM please :) [15:26] hehe dajhorn :) ashiswin its a live cd for checking hdd and fixing [15:26] ashiswin: No. We should have the discussion here so that other people can listen and benefit. [15:26] fixing sectors and stuff [15:26] but liberan, the partition cannot even be mounted [15:27] try boot with live cd and then mount, if that doesnt work and your data is not crucial, kill it with fire [15:27] with hdd regenerator, that is [15:27] but my data is very crucial liberan >.< [15:28] and hdd regenerator must be paid for [15:28] pay to tech guys with license for fixing hdds [15:28] hi all, does abiword has support fot other language like hindi.

[15:31] i mean if i want to see other languge support [15:31] haavaros, find . -name '*.jpg' -exec mv {} /path/to/ \; works ? (sorry) [15:32] dwayne: a defunct process is just a process that has finished or died or exited in some way, which its parent hasn't reaped [15:32] ajay, look in Tools > Language settings === astra-x is now known as astra05 [15:32] wedwo, thanks alot [15:33] dwayne: there isn't technically anything wrong with processes showing up as defunct unless more of them keep appearing under the same parent without the old ones disappearing [15:33] after recent updates with 9.10, my screensavers are now 'locking up' and take about 30 seconds to disable and return back to normal use after moving mouse. Any ideas how to debug this? [15:33] Bert-: No [15:33] i want to install "google chrome" to my ubuntu 10.04. (i have already chromium-browser but i need googles chrome too ). [15:33] quiescens, any chance you can take a look at my dmesg output (http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/9zhfMvL7), this ubuntu system is locking up daily [15:33] ok right, [15:34] dajhorn: Have you used LDAP authentication? [15:34] kemalettin_12: http://www.google.com/chrome [15:34] rather than winbind, or likewise? [15:35] I'm chatting with the admins at work [15:35] it looks a little like a deadlock between i915 and cyclone but I can't tell for sure [15:35] who are discussing integrating ubuntu [15:35] dwayne: That looks like your video driver is crapping out. It could be caused by a bad driver or by bad hardware. Try disabling OpenGL screensavers. [15:35] glebihan: if i install the deb package , after a time will be update automatically with update manager ? [15:35] webbgroup: Yes. [15:35] One issue they'd like to know about is when ubuntu announces updates, is there any sort of rating mechanism, for which are critical and such. [15:35] I've never noticed that in update manager. [15:35] kemalettin_12, they 're almost identical on linux , why ? [15:35] wedwo, in setting i made default languge as hindi even though if i am typing then it is writing in english [15:35] dajhorn: On Hardy? I can't get getent groups to look up correct. [15:36] and yeah, i915 being, video card [15:36] on Lucid, it works fine. [15:36] dajhorn, will do. thanks. Think I should also upgrade to 10.04 or should I try disabling OpenGL screensavers and see if I go a few days w/o hanging? [15:36] dwayne: Definitely use Lucid. That i7 that you've got is new and recent drivers are much better. [15:36] wedwo, it worked after changing setting of font [15:36] BluesKaj: i need a 3. broser. i sometimes need it. at the same time. if i install the deb package will install the updates automatically with update manger of ubuntu ? [15:37] webbgroup: Hardy is old and debugging LDAP is frustrating. Just upgrade to Lucid. [15:37] dajhorn: it has something to do with this line: nss_map_objectclass posixGroup Group [15:38] kemalettin_12: no but you can a repository to apt source to handle it [15:38] I have tried 'find -name \*.jpg -print0 | xargs -0 mv -t /My/Destination' but get "mv: missing file operand' What's wrong? [15:38] i need a stable repo for ubuntu 10.04 google chrom (not for chromium browser). [15:38] dajhorn: I can't, our engineers are developing an application on it. and we need to have it, probably for the next 5 years. [15:38] We are trying to get off of NIS and move to AD, to later to move to OpenLDAP. [15:38] webbgroup: Debugging LDAP schemas are also annoying. If Lucid works, then try backporting the LDAP and/or NSS packages to Hardy. [15:38] Moving to AD is the first item.

Or suck badly. [15:39] I don't want to maintain an application. [15:39] The requested URL /linux/chrome/deb/ was not found on this server. glebihan: [15:39] BluesKaj:The requested URL /linux/chrome/deb/ was not found on this server. [15:39] the issue i had with networking is there was no auto eth0 entry in my network/interfaces file so the n900 entry would override the eth0. solved by adding auth eth0 just before my n900 entry [15:39] dajhorn: probably, but single sign on, and single home directories has to happen. [15:39] kemalettin_12: I know, you have to add the line I gave you using the Software Sources tool in System->Administration [15:39] ah sorry [15:39] glebihan: sorry ok. thank you! [15:40] kemalettin_12: you're welcome* [15:40] webbgroup: ActiveDirectory will mutilate your database. Go directly from NIS to LDAP if at all possible. If not, then use winbind, stay on AD, and migrate to Samba domain membership when it becomes available.

[15:42] 'find *' finds all CR2-files in a folder structure, but 'find *.CR2' results in 'No such file or directory'. Why? [15:42] lucenut_: do you mean you have a proxy server already and you want to change your ubunutu computer to point to it, or you want to install proxy server software on your ubuntu? [15:42] glebihan: it is active when i write deb your adress lucid main but i dont know if this is true ? [15:42] Anyone know of free overseas proxies and how to use them on ubuntu? [15:43] lucenut_: no. I don't know of free overseas proxies [15:43] kemalettin_12: I don't understand [15:43] On windows I guess I would just enter the IP/port in my TCP/IP settings. [15:43] like right now, itis working perfekt, 5 min from now it might disconnect, if I try to reconnect it migt or migt not connect, most of the time not, then I have to reboot to connect again, reboot is only for MS people, logfiles telling me it is timing ou [15:43] How do you do similar in ubuntu? [15:43] so I would be a very happy camper if someone can put me into the right directions === Guest50413 is now known as yangpeng [15:43] lucenut_: system -> preferences -> Network Proxy [15:44] glebihan: i first open the "software sources". and i open other software tab. i click add button. but when i write http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ there the add software button is not active.

[15:44] it does not depend on the kernel because I had this almost from the time I installed ubuntu 10.24 [15:44] Why does 'find *' find all CR2-files in my folder structure, while 'find *.CR2' results in "No such file or directory"? [15:45] glebihan: i click ok but this error i get : W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A040830F7FAC5991 [15:45] is it "chmod -x " to give a file admin rights ??

The GUI is python based and I got it by installing the tortoisehg and tortoisehg-nautilus packages from the universe repository. Anyone experienced similar or have a clue how to diagnose? [15:47] OK, so I went in the Network Proxy Preferences and ticked "Manual Proxy Configuration". Checked "Use the same proxy for all protocaols." and entered "proxybum.com" and left the Port: 8080.

[15:49] <_2easy> YNOPSIS find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-D debugopts] [-Olevel] [path...] [expression] [15:49] unclemantis: I'm not familiar with thrift nor php extensions. But /usr/ is package manager land, so ideally you would use a package (from the repositories). If you are sure the repositories cannot satisfy your needs, then you usually install to /usr/local/ [15:49] haavaros: man find :) [15:49] kemalettin_12: run "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A040830F7FAC5991 " [15:50] !cli > unclemantis, answer to your original question though so you know for other cases [15:50] !cli | unclemantis, answer to your original question though so you know for other cases [15:50] unclemantis, answer to your original question though so you know for other cases: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[15:53] <_2easy> bazhang: if you type 'find *' then you try to egazime all directories in current directory, it's simply like 'ls -R' [15:53] haavaros: try find "*CRT*" [15:53] Izinucs: yes it will as he added the repository for it [15:54] Izinucs: will install stable right ?

[15:55] <_2easy> bazhang: ok, but don't tell me that im wrong [15:55] haavaros: shell wildcard expansion is fun ;) [15:55] Izinucs: it is something bad for ubuntu ? [15:55] Izinucs: kemalettin_12 wanted to install both chromium and google-chrome [15:56] Izinucs: i have firefox, opera and chromium but i need a 4. browser here. [15:56] Izinucs: i will delete the opera because it is not open-source. [15:56] _2easy: but if he knows your wrong he will tell you that you are wrong, please be nice yea?

[15:57] BluesKaj: yes I already suggested that but kemalettin_12 wanted automatic updates to be enabled, so he needed the repo [15:58] googlr chrome auto updates itself , without the repos afaik [15:59] BluesKaj: didn't know about that, I myself have the repo [15:59] does anyone here know why Partimage keeps hanging at 1.06 GiB when creating an image of a partition? [15:59] BluesKaj: i need to update with manger. [16:00] repo is better.. [16:00] wickedSA: What's wrong with 'find . -name '*.CR2' -exec mv {} ./'? I get 'find: missing argument to `-exec'' [16:01] haavaros: You need to have \; at the end of your -exec statement. [16:01] haavaros: slow that down, what does find . -name '*.CR2' return? [16:01] * BluesKaj shrugs , update from repos or google-chrome self upgrade , makes it redundant , kemalettin_12 , but go ahead if you insist [16:01] whois Pici [16:01] yangpeng: I'm me. [16:01] glebihan: kemalettin_12 chrome and chromium are essentially the same.. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome .... If you need a 4th browser try Flock.

[16:25] mernilio: in that case, netbeans might be a good choice, it's far lighter than eclipse [16:26] kemalettin_12: I prefer chromium as it's not owned by google , yet i'm probally just paranoid [16:26] glebihan: well, yes. but both is rather heavy, in all fairness.

[17:23] julian-: I had a tv tuner card that had a IR remote in it that worked in ubuntu. I haven't installed it on this one anymore. wintv I think. it cost like $40 [17:23] BluesKaj, I can't find it [17:23] dmtb, I don't think that ifconfig will show u ip confilict ... I suggess going to /var/log/syslog ... to get some more info. [17:23] sacarlson: Ah, it's gonna have to be USB. [17:23] neurochrome: the more I think about it, the more I think its not going to be a one-liner [17:23] kk [17:23] julian-: oh ya this one was pci [17:23] can i use gparted to partition a usb stick?

[17:26] earthling_, when you take a screenshot , it will ask you to save it [17:26] dmtb: change your ip address to something else, then see if the original ip address responds to ping [17:26] neurochrome: I would just create a shell script and work in that, rather than try to jam it all in on one line [17:27] I have a problem with Gwibber and Empathy -- Gwibber doesn't work unless I start up empathy, and if I do, I get two empathy icons (the green circles). Is there a way ot change this behavior? [17:27] boywonder: you mean the gparted live cd¿ you can do it from your installed OS [17:27] neurochrome: use a couple of for loops, have it echo the dirs without nfo file [17:27] thats what i want to do [17:27] BluesKaj, when I do applications>accessories>take screenshot, there is no save option [17:27] Semitones: green circles¿ [17:27] just "take screenshot" [17:27] button [17:28] wickedSA, how to echo dir with no .nfo?

[17:28] dmtb: yes, if there is something else using that address it should respond [17:28] quiescens, still not sure what to do with that. tips? [17:28] neurochrome: inside the for loop, you'll iterate over the set of directories, doing find and counting nfo files. then on condition of nfos=0 echo the current dir [17:29] Is there any way to make empathy popup new messages like pidgin does? I hate the little buble notifications and the blinking thing on the toolbar isn't enough. THanks [17:29] xangua, any info on how i can do this? [17:29] th0r:thnx [17:29] brett\: yeah, so something is mounted on /homes [17:29] o hai [17:29] earthling_, in the gui , there should be a "save as" [17:29] quiescens, strange it didnt come up with 'mount' command. [17:29] brett\: you should technically be able to just do: sudo umount /homes [17:30] quiescens, nah busy.. same prob as before [17:30] brett\: but I don't know why its mounted, and it may or may not work as expected [17:30] BluesKaj, when I do "whole desktop" option then the save as comes up, but not when I do current window [17:30] I basically don't want to empathy icons [17:30] s/to/two/ [17:30] what shell command is there to get given user home directory path? someting like pwd but for home directory [17:30] neurochrome: you *could* do it on the command line, but why hurt yourself if you dont have to [17:30] brett\: okay then I guess we have to try to work out why its mounted, and why it isn't showing up in the output from mount [17:30] wickedSA, this works mkdir "No nfo" "With nfo"; touch "No nfo/somefile.jpg" "With nfo/somefile.nfo"; find . -type d -exec bash -c 'shopt -s dotglob nullglob; f=("$1"/*.nfo); ((!${#f[@]}))' _ {} \; -print [17:30] quiescens, thanks for the right track.

[17:35] DEXTREX, here you go http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/using_virtualbox_to_run_ubuntu [17:35] you have to have install disk of the other OS to get it running [17:36] wickedSA, you did help in a way, so yay :) [17:36] ok [17:36] DEXTREX, yes, otherwise how is virtualbox going to know what to install? [17:36] rooks: :) [17:36] what is the command to see how different disks on my system are formatted? [17:36] one nifty thing about virtualbox is i believe it runs solaris [17:36] I have a big binary file to download from a slower computer.

[17:37] thanks jpds [17:37] kpettit, ssh definitely doesn't [17:37] kpettit: I dont think rsync will either [17:37] DEXTREX: cool thing with virtualbox is you don't need to burn the cd to try it just installs the iso file that you down load. [17:37] yeah I know. driving me crazy. Can't see it as any comman dline option [17:37] bugger [17:37] i already have it installed in dual partition i guess the problem is i cant access the internet with vista lol [17:38] jpds, it shows my backup as a linux system, but I'm wondering if it is ext3 or ext4 or what.

[17:55] I got redirected to security check [17:55] anyone give me link to installing tor on ubuntu [17:55] I'd love to ask someone who knew how to fix this :C [17:55] Fendaril: you have to answer that question to make sure you arent a spam bot [17:56] i am having trouble to get zeitgeist and activity journal to communicate. Can anyone help? [17:56] AndrewMC: well considering the bot and read "MSG"s sent they can easily bypass it [17:56] and send JOIN #Ubuntu [17:56] but ok [17:56] Dunas: well try boot with the older kernel since it was working before. [17:56] Fendaril: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:56] sacarlson: I have no idea how to do that. :) But I'll try to figure it out, I suppose. [17:57] anyway I got ndiswrapper [17:57] but my driver is an exe file [17:57] !tor | boo_boo_ [17:57] boo_boo_: Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode?

Has anyone had experience getting zeitgeist and activity journal to work? [18:00] failing that, can anyone recommend a more productive channel to raise this question on?

[18:02] can you use apt or aptitude to install programs from source to say get the deps needed ? [18:02] masterBIGwilly: if you don't know how to connect to your router and don't know it's ip address it means it's not configured properly. meaning you may have the defaults which is blank password [18:02] tucemiux: i bet you did it on purpose... :P [18:03] Ubuntu 10.04. How do you encrypt files in Nautilus? I don't see the option when right clicking a file. [18:03] maybe not apt or aptitude but im sure i read something you could [18:03] For ubuntu updates, is there a classification system, like low/mid/high priority? [18:03] dunas: to modify what grub2 boots as default kernel and operating system look at installing sudo apt-get install startupmanager. [18:03] and if so, how does one see it? [18:04] hey how can i check version of latest software which is not installed yet, in cmdline [18:05] !version | Bayles [18:05] Bayles: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [18:05] Bayles: just sudo apt-get install, but don't press y [18:05] Bayles: apt-cache policy [18:05] thanks guys, i just moved ubuntu :D [18:05] moved to * [18:06] headin out, but if anyone wants one last chance to fix a zeitgeist installation here it is [18:06] congrats [18:06] where do i find the settingsfile for catalyst where Colortemperatur ect is saved in ubuntu? [18:07] boo_boo_: there is something that will install the deps for a package so when you compile one it will have what it needs. [18:08] yeah ive used ubuntu in the past but forgotten how i did it now sacarlson [18:08] sacarlson: apt-get build-dep packagename (actually it might accept source package name too) [18:08] boo_boo_: Pici: there ya go [18:09] thanks pici,sacarlson [18:09] Hi all [18:11] napnap: hi [18:11] I've a problem with one desktop of my LAN, a domain adress don't give the same website than the other PC's of my LAN :-s [18:11] does anyone here use gwibber to chat? what is the expected behavior? [18:11] pici packagename being package.tar.gz ? [18:11] however /etc/resolv.conf is equal ther other's and /etc/hosts is not corrupt [18:12] What can I check to solve this problem ? [18:12] boo_boo_ : no [18:12] if anyone can give me a way.. [18:12] boo_boo_: No, meaning the name of the package that is in the ubuntu repositories. [18:12] napnap: are they all ubuntu? do they have the same things in /etc/hosts ? does the file at /etc/resolv.conf match in each of them? [18:12] every time i press 's' in vnc it opens logout context menu, how to fix it? [18:12] napnap: check the dns server addresses in ifconfig [18:13] i.e. logout popup in the gnome [18:13] how to force running system to halt immediately ? [18:13] "halt" [18:13] ? [18:13] rooks: sudo shutdown -h now [18:13] sacarlson: yes, all ubuntu or xubuntu and "same" things in /etc/hosts (the machine name change :) ) and resolv.conf matches... [18:13] rooks .. type halt [18:14] pici i dont understand you got a link so i can read ? [18:14] shutdown is nicer than halt, but halt is quicker [18:14] and quicker to type [18:14] how to force running system to halt immediately ? like power off or reset button, the last command is there to dead-kill system without any initrd scripts? [18:14] th0r: I can't see the dns server in ifconfig...only ip, Bcast etc...anything related to DNS [18:15] napnap: booting the vm now so I can check [18:15] napnap: try dig siteyouwant.com to see what dns and were it came from [18:16] boo_boo_: apt-get only knows about the packages that are in the repositories. So, if you run apt-get build-dep bash, you'll get the dependencies that you would need to build bash from source. This is often useful if you are compiling a newer version of some software that is already available in the repos. === y0sh is now known as y0sh_ [18:17] sacarlson: the dig command give me the real IP of the website :O [18:18] i see Pici, probably backports is what im looking for [18:18] napnap: then it must be getting it from /etc/hosts [18:18] napnap: or maybe the site redirects [18:19] sacarlson: it could be the site looks at the browser header to determine what server to pick to service you. [18:19] sacarlson: no :-(, /etc/hosts only contains 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 that's all [18:20] sacarlson: and the website not redirect, all other pc's on the same lan can view the real website [18:20] napnap: do they all use the same browser? [18:20] sacarlson: yes [18:21] sacarlson: is not browser relative, ping give me a wrong IP [18:21] napnap: oh ok [18:21] rooks: sudo shutdown -P now ... will run the scripts and shutdown the system [18:22] napnap: then it's not getting it from dns maybe wins? or ? [18:22] Scunizi, i need the touch the reset button type of immediate kill [18:22] anyone has some knowledge in aticonfig? [18:22] i used to plug in a device that did ip over usb and it came up as eth2, but now for some reason it is comming up as eth3... how do i make it come up as eth2 again? [18:23] napnap: maybe compare this file /etc/nsswitch.conf [18:24] Must be another config file except xorg.conf cause I can't find the settings made in catalyst in that retarded file [18:24] rooks: you mean a key combination? [18:25] For a given package what command can I use to know where the packages are installed ? Something similar to apt-file show ? [18:25] Scunizi, no, command to issue cutting off power to cpu and such [18:25] sacarlson: very good idea [18:25] karts: dpkg -L packagename [18:25] rooks: so you want it to just drop the system without running any shutdown scripts? [18:26] Scunizi, yes, with commandline [18:26] sacarlson: and it solve the problem :) yeahhh [18:26] napnap: wow cool I never seen that before [18:26] napnap: I guess you just need to change the order [18:26] is there any audio cutting tool in ubuntu?? [18:27] sacarlson: I've change the line from : "hosts: files wins dns" to : "hosts: files dns wins" [18:27] rooks: perhaps sudo shutdown -h now .. got that from http://linux.about.com/od/lts_guide/a/gdelts34.htm [18:27] sacarlson: but I don't know why my samba server give me a wrong IP :-S [18:27] Scunizi, halt -d -f is almost it :) [18:27] keyboard 's' in vnc client opens 'indicator applet session' in gnome, how to get rid of this? [18:27] napnap: samba I think uses wins [18:28] sacarlson: yes in fact I say samba because IT is my wins server [18:28] what's a good home router for 4 pcs at home? [18:28] anyone [18:28] !anyone [18:28] sudo halt -d -f -p \o/ [18:28] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:28] hi there [18:29] how do i make a backup? [18:29] is it via command line? [18:29] Pici: Thanks! That worked! [18:29] karts: great [18:29] !backup | hihihi100 [18:29] hihihi100: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [18:29] Scunizi, sudo halt -d -f -p \o/ [18:29] rooks: if you really want various low level ways of shutting down you can enable the magic sysrq and either use the key combinations (if you are at the physical console) or /proc/sysrq-trigger if you aren't [18:29] rooks: unfortunately I"ve no more suggestions.. did that last command work? [18:29] JohnnyL: you might want to ask that in #networking or possibly #hardware.. there are lots of routers out there with different features [18:29] erUSUL, Im answering JohnnyL's question [18:29] HELP me,, like right now, itis working perfekt, 5 min from now it might disconnect, if I try to reconnect it migt or migt not connect, most of the time not, then I have to reboot to connect again, reboot is only for MS people, logfiles telling me it is timing ou [18:30] quiescens, sudo halt -d -f -p \o/ it will power-kill system :) [18:30] just back from another disconnect [18:30] this time I notice he wanted the key and even if I gave the right key , he would try and then come and ask again [18:31] diverted, [18:31] if Folder synchronization makes 2 copies of every file, thats like reducing by 50% my hard disk memory, right? [18:31] sacarlson: but in my mind, wins (NMBD) give IP address of my LAN desktop but not of internet website ! for me it can't know that...:-\ [18:31] finally got wireless to work [18:31] needed ndiswrapper [18:31] and cabextract for the exe driver file [18:31] annoying as hell [18:31] i tell you [18:31] Fendaril: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:32] napnap: well you do now. [18:33] slacker_nl: thanks [18:33] rooks: if that does what you need it to do then stick with it, i was just offering an alternative if you needed more control [18:33] is there any way to convert a ext4 partition to ntfs without losing everything ? [18:33] how can I make it, so I can log into SFTP with same permissions as root? [18:34] * Scunizi just read about Broadcom opensourcing wi-fi drivers for .11n chips.. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/networking/broadcom-makes-its-wi-fi-chipsets-more-linux-friendly/138 [18:34] epure_: yes.. back it all up,, distroy partition, recreate and format with ntfs.. replace data [18:34] sacarlson: yes yes, I do, but not really, because if samba want to know that it tell that to my dns server....oh, perhaps when it tell that, the website was not up...and samba keep the wrong address in the cache.. [18:35] How can I make CD-Rom drive to open using Nautilus? [18:35] kinda hard when we're talking 200G and a 320GB HDD :D [18:35] epure_: I doubt it [18:35] Setting for ATI card cant be stored in xorg.conf - where is it? [18:35] sacarlson: so , thanks a lot for the solution !!!!!!!! THANKS! [18:35] maxflax: there isn't one.. it's automated these days.. but if you create one it will be read and used [18:35] epure_: why would you want ntfs anyway? you going back to windows? [18:35] napnap: yes it tries them in order if first fails then try secound ... untill none can find it [18:36] napnap: not sure about the cache part [18:36] Slart - how do I create it? [18:36] Scunizi: yes , my laptop wasn't designed for ubuntu [18:36] i tried it for a couple of months, it's just not working out [18:36] no one feel sorry for my strugle ? [18:36] maxflax: there is a command that creates one.. I don't know it by heart but if you google for "generate xorg.conf ubuntu" you should get some good hits [18:37] epure_: did you happen to do a dual boot? [18:37] geez lndir really should be in a separate package instead of staying in xutils-devel, who has nothing to do with lndir [18:37] Slart - I have a xorg.conf file - the problem is that I wonder where ATI has it's settings stored since it's not in xorg.conf [18:37] or...put it to sysutils or sth [18:37] epure_: never mind.. 200g of data means you don't have enough room to even carve out another partition. [18:37] Slart - need to force the color temp [18:37] Scunizi: no, i'm running winxp in VirtualBox most of the time [18:38] yes... you see my problem now [18:38] epure_: sounds like ubuntu's been running for a while.. what's the issue? [18:38] maxflax: I have no idea about that.. it might be in xorg.conf or it might be somewhere else.. there's nothing that looks like it might be ATI related in /etc? === XLV_ is now known as XLV [18:39] Slart - well have looked and there is the standard files but nothing that seems to keep the settings stored [18:39] which command should i use to check if 2 files are the same, have some similarities or detect differences?? [18:39] sacarlson: yes, not sure, effectively my /var/lib/samba/wins.dat contains only LAN ip... I don't understand.$ [18:39] Scunizi: flash is sh*t, no hardware acceleration for videos, no starcraft2... I read they're possible to install through some painful process , but I think it's simply less painful to reinstall windows [18:39] hey I'm experiencing a little problem... I've been working with an sftp share. I had logged in ~30min ago, left the pc and came back. nautilus has frozen. I've done force quit, but now I can no longer connect. [18:40] whats the trick to reset whatever handles sfto? [18:40] sftp. [18:40] epure_: you running 64 or 32 bit? [18:40] 64bit [18:40] 4gb ram... and I would like to use it all [18:40] :) [18:40] maxflax: then I don't really know where to look, sorry [18:40] I get this error: Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply..... [18:40] how can I eject cd-rom on ubuntu [18:40] uLinux: eject [18:40] uLinux:right click unmount [18:40] uLinux: unmount it and press the eject button, or use the eject command [18:40] any who has experience with smb4k? [18:41] before there is a cd inside of drive? [18:41] Badegakk: just ask your question [18:41] how can i do it [18:41] anyone please which command should i use to check if 2 files are the same, have some similarities or detect differences?? [18:41] epure_: ok.. I have both.. flash on 64 bit is problemmatic at best.. 32 bit I haven't had issues with except on slow connections.. the non-free driver is the right one and if you have others installed like gnash etc.. you have to uninstall them so there's no conflict.. however youtube works for me on 64bit [18:41] my man pages seem to be busted.. any man page i get at the bottom: Manual page uptime(1) line ?/? (END) [18:41] sudo shutdown -r 0, does that reboot the system? [18:41] blackshell: diff will show if they are the same [18:41] where uptime is whatever i am trying to man [18:41] blackshell: not sure if diff has a binary mode.. I think so.. then there's all the hash commands, md5sum and so on [18:41] blackshell: it will also show any differences [18:41] hihihi100: yes [18:41] I opened the cd-rom drive using K3b but dont how to it using Nautilus [18:41] oki [18:42] Hi, can I get help with the ubuntu 10.04 installer from usb? [18:42] epure_: starcraft2 is another issue.. I think you have to use Wine there.. their site should have decent docs on how to install it. [18:42] I remember hearing about a Supposedly an operating system but its actual purpose is creating Botnets and enabling identity theft. .exe program that could be used to install kubuntu directly onto a machine. the exe was supposed to do this install from inside windows to eliminate the install from CD/DVD barrier for windows people. Is that tool completed and available? [18:42] arrg! - sorry [18:42] hawkI: it's not ubutu, so it's not for here [18:42] ah, wrong channel [18:42] I remember hearing about a win .exe program that could be used to install kubuntu directly onto a machine. the exe was supposed to do this install from inside windows to eliminate the install from CD/DVD barrier for windows people.

[18:43] epure_: you can downgrade to 32 bit *if* you have a separate /home partition easily by reinstalling the base system without formatting /home.. if /home is in the main partition with everything else then you're .. well. out of luck [18:43] then it should possibly work [18:43] Scunizi: flash works, but sometimes it crashes when I switch to fullscreen or when I open too many windows. Last time I installed linux was ~7 years ago and it has come a long long way since, but it still has 2-3 years to go [18:43] ok evilphoenix [18:44] were is the file :\ [18:44] im new to ubuntu [18:44] btw [18:44] Scunizi: I made up my mind.. 2-3 months is enough :) [18:44] var_, where'd you download the file to?

[19:10] hi guys. I was installing mysql-server on a server, and then lost connection to it. now when I repeat "apt-get install" it says "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)". Any suggestions, please? [19:10] then RUN it on linux? [19:10] Allright, but I'm programming at Gnome [19:10] Gerritjan: I would also suggest try glade it makes it easy [19:10] var_→ Here is the download page: http://www.winehq.org/download/ There are Ubuntu packages there and Crossover is under the "supported" link, remember Crossover is a commercial application but comes with a 7 day trial if you wanted to try Red Alert 2 with it. [19:11] Gerritjan: if you're using qt, you're doing what kde devs do [19:11] any one ? [19:11] var_: Stop pressing enter before finishing your sentences, this is your last warning. [19:11] Gerritjan: gnome is gtk [19:11] headkase314, am i sposed to install the game on windows? then run it under ubuntu?

[19:11] !aptlock | progre55 maybe this [19:11] progre55 maybe this: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [19:11] wine doesn't have an actual desktop though :\ [19:11] progre55: but make sure all other package programs are closed, like synaptic... [19:12] By the way, are there alternatives for enter? [19:12] all i did was double click on the files in a folder on the desktop of ubuntu.

[19:13] 'allo. Kind of curious, I know that installing Windows 7 after Ubuntu as a partition messes with the bootloader, is there an easy to fix it or prevent it? [19:13] Can i set color temperature in xorg.conf? [19:14] I have a someone dumb question... On ubuntu's site it says the 64-bit version of the desktop is not recommended for regular use...Why is that? [19:14] i have manged to fix the sudo issue, i have one question. Is it posible to watch video from a share using the network from the tab in dolphin. I can browse folders and copy and move files but i cant watch them, neither in vlc or dragon player. Do i realy have to use client like smb4k? [19:14] ok i think it's working now [19:14] ChogyDan: yep, that helped, thanks ) [19:14] thanks guys [19:14] Spanglish_7776, It's not wireless. It's crystal HD chip for netbooks. [19:14] GoogleGuy→ I use 64-bit with no issues. [19:14] Same [19:14] progre55: yw [19:14] Well, I used to. [19:14] dunas: MS will mess with your boot partition, just gotta deal with it [19:14] lol i cannot see my mouse in wine though :\ [19:14] headkase314: Just to be clear I'm trying to install Ubuntu Desktop 64-bit on a laptop as dual boot with Windows 7 already installed [19:15] how do I change resolution in ubuntu ? got 8800 NVIDIA .. i ll ask again [19:15] That's what i did, Google. I used it for 2 years with no problem [19:15] wow [19:15] Ubuntu is really awesome [19:15] GoogleGuy→ that is my setup too. Laptop, dual-boot except I have Vista for Windows. [19:15] DAGr8: have you tried using the tools? [19:15] ChogyDan: but now as it's not properly installed, I cant install mysql-server nor remove it =) it says: "debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable". Any suggestions, please? [19:15] :D fcuk windows [19:15] ChogyDan im nub no idea where these are ? [19:15] !language | extremedevilz [19:15] extremedevilz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:15] I'm kind of liking Linux Mint more then Ubuntu [19:16] sorry I was happy [19:16] wow wine has a VERY slow framerate :\ [19:16] Even though Ubuntu is still really awesome [19:16] i got the security check wrong and yet was granted access, awesome system there guys [19:16] does anyone know how to remove all gnome-panels??? [19:16] Ubuntu really rocks [19:16] DAGr8: Sys > Admin > Nvidia settings [19:16] wickedSA, darn. :( If only I didn't want to play Starcraft! [19:16] b4rbz great thanks... headkase314 ok so it shouldn't be problematic then. I was just wondering if the 64-bit was not stable or something. I've heard Ubuntu 10 had some issues with the graphical installation [19:16] extremedevilz: sure it does =) [19:16] can info be used as alternative to man command? [19:16] Im using it the first time [19:16] dunas: you can deal with it, its just a few extra steps [19:16] can "info" be used as alternative to man command? [19:16] JackStoner→ you must have a minimum of one panel but you can set that one required panel to be auto-hidden. Right-click on it and choose Properties. [19:16] I manage to install xchat,vlc,wine [19:16] dunas: there are many many docs on how to do it [19:16] Np, Google [19:16] xD [19:16] blackshell: if you read the wiki page correctly, yes === XLV_ is now known as XLV [19:17] ChogyDan no nvidia software installed , obviously thats my prob so I suppose Ill go get the drivers heh [19:17] GoogleGuy→ my webcam actually didn't work with 32-bit and does with 64-bit. However I haven't been able to get the microphone to work properly with either. [19:17] headkase314, so there's no way to completely remove it?? i once hid it with compiz screenlet thingy but i forgot how to now [19:17] Hey guys I just want to ask you guys a question. How much space is in your Linux partition? [19:17] DAGr8: oh, then there is Sys > Prefs > Monitors [19:17] ChogyDan: oh, I did this and it helped "sudo fuser -vki /var/cache/debconf/config.dat" :) [19:17] it removed the lock [19:18] progre55: hmmm, yeah, i don't know [19:18] b4rbz, you want to know how much space u have?? df -h on the terminal [19:18] JackStoner→ as far as I am aware you must have one panel, you can remove the others but when you get to that last panel the option to remove is not accessible. [19:18] i created a user with useradd, but /etc/profile is not sourced for the new user. i'm not sure whether it's interactive or login shell, i log in via ssh as root and su to the user. [19:18] * extremedevilz wonders is there a windows live messenger mimic [19:18] headkase314, ok thanks... [19:18] No I know how much I have. I just want to know how much space you guys put [19:18] but everyone uses facebook chat now [19:18] how can i get /etc/profile automatically sourced to all users? [19:18] headkase314 What latop are using if you dont mind me asking. I'm on an HP G60 that this will be installed on. I haven't seen too many issues on the forums with the hardware yet, but hopefully this will go smoothley [19:18] ChogyDan thx thats what I needed , Im runin vmware and there was asetting there too so im all set now :) [19:18] progre55: one suggestion was to apt-get install -f [19:18] b4rbz, some of us dont have 1 linux partition [19:19] Ohh [19:19] I quess its not posible [19:19] from the terminal window [19:19] extremedevilz, try emesene [19:19] well do you think 25gb is too little? [19:19] ChogyDan wanted 16:9 got it now :P [19:19] b4rbz, is this your first time installing?? [19:19] if im in the terminal windows how do i move complete files to my desktop? [19:19] No [19:19] ChogyDan: thanks man, appreciate [19:19] I'm actually not even using Ubuntu. I'm on Linux Mint [19:19] b4rbz, for a desktop install its enough i guess [19:19] GoogleGuy→ I'm using an Acer Aspire 5100. 64-bit 1.8Ghz Turion Dual-Core with 100GB HD, Ati Xpress 1100 video, 1GB RAM. Everything works except microphone and I had to fiddle with the sound before it worked properly. [19:20] I just like the Ubuntu community a little more than Mints lol [19:20] b4rbz, are you creating separate partitions for /tmp, /home etc.? [19:20] b4rbz: free -h [19:20] b4rbz: free -m or -g [19:20] No, I used a wubi type thing. I'm dual booting [19:20] Raptors: I spent some time looking and find nothing but people that are still tring sorry. [19:20] I used mint2win, which is pretty much wubi [19:20] b4rbz, 20G is plenty, but if you do something like master a dvd, you can fill /tmp up pretty quick. [19:21] headkase314 OK, so similar hardware then. I'll give the dual boot a try. Thanks a lot everyone. You were all very helpful. Have a great day, bbl [19:21] b4rbz, you can set up wubi to use your win partition for extra space though. [19:21] The max space you could put for wubi is 30gb, so I think 25gb is going to last a while [19:21] ok guys how do I install my wireless in ubuntu [19:22] hi, how do I print a pdf file in a paper size bigger than A4, splitted in several A4 pages so it gets printed in the original scale? [19:22] extremedevilz: plug it in is what I do [19:22] extremedevilz: we need more details. Are you adding wireless hardware? [19:22] I am adding my wireless router [19:23] so I can use my laptop around my house [19:23] hello all, so I'm having some problems booting my system without being attached to a monitor, if i have it attached to my KVM and not selected when it boots, the gdm doesn't boot and it goes into low graphics mode and cannot be booted at all... any ideas how to basically run this machine headless and I'll VNC into it to use it? [19:23] and not stuck to my lan connection [19:23] Is it working for you, Extreme? [19:23] are your drivers working? [19:23] Can I set color temperature in xorg.conf? or where do I set if for ATI card? [19:23] extremedevilz→ plug into a wired connection to get internet, run update manager and check for updates and install all offered. If you need to reboot, do that. Go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and hope your wireless driver is there. [19:23] that pretty :S [19:24] can anybody help me write an xorg.conf for a headless box? [19:24] hmm.. weird.. when installing mysql-server-5.1 from the lucid repos, it comes to the stage where it says "Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6)" and freezes. Any suggestions, please? [19:24] jak-install: you'd use the old vncserver software ... I'll look up the package name [19:24] what is the name of the standard remote desktop server in ubuntu? i removed it and cant remember its name :p [19:25] nice it found my wireless network [19:25] LMAO [19:25] vin [19:25] just by switching on the button [19:25] jak-install: is that what is needed? [19:25] vino* [19:25] ty jak-install [19:25] JoshuaL, i think its remote desktop viewer [19:25] jak-install : no one here knows nothing about xorg.conf - thats my experience [19:25] JackStoner, thats the viewer, i ment server :p [19:25] They should make it so Ubuntu comes with flash [19:26] Mint does [19:26] JoshuaL, my bad :P [19:26] JackStoner, but as jak-install said it was vino :) [19:26] sacarlson: no its not, it runs just fine when I have a monitor plugged in... even with a kvm it doesn't boot [19:26] jak-install: tightvncserver [19:26] JoshuaL, yaaay!!! [19:26] jimcooncat: that will work? how should I run it i have to ssh to the box? [19:27] jimcooncat, doesn't he have to be up in X for vnc? [19:27] jak-install: you don't have to ssh to the box if it's on a local connection -- but know it's not all that secure by itself [19:27] hi, how do I print a pdf file in a paper size bigger than A4, splitted in several A4 pages so it gets printed in the original scale? [19:27] maxflax: yea i don't know anything about it either, and I tried to lookup how to make one and it was no fun [19:27] jak-install: I know you can make a headless system the only complaint I have seen is people were stuck with some res [19:27] I mean that the original document is in a paper size bigger than A4 [19:27] bobstro: he has to have X installed, but not necessarily working on his local display [19:28] jimcooncat, yes, but it's not booting without a screen is what i'm understanding. so can he get to vnc then? [19:28] sacarlson: Its just going to be a box for long running tasks, i'de do it from terminal but the program is gui only [19:28] Is there a Dreamweaver alternative for Linux? [19:28] sacarlson: so how do i do it? because i can't get it to run at all [19:28] komposer [19:28] jak-install: would something like FreeNX work? [19:28] bobstro: it runs the display internally, not showing on the monitor [19:28] bobstro: can ssh though, it goes up far enough [19:29] wow kompozer looks really good [19:29] jak-install - why do need xorg.conf when running with no screen? [19:29] jimcooncat, ok. just wondering about the boot bit. :) [19:29] jak-install - do u have a gnome install on it anyway? [19:29] hello all [19:30] jak-install: also you can run gui applications on ssh [19:30] jak-install: not to confuse things, but is your primary problem that you can't boot without a display? [19:30] jak-install: can't get what application to run at all? [19:30] what can I do, if I have 2 UbuntuOne accounts, and I want to remove 1 of them?! [19:30] sacarlson: maybe... i don't understand why it gets stuck though and asks that... i thought there was a way to do it i saw a ticket in the system but i lost it [19:30] !iu [19:30] !ubuntuone [19:30] roland: Best to ask in their channel: #ubuntuone [19:30] Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone [19:31] maxflax: because i want to be able to vnc to it, and run long running tasks on it [19:31] tx Pici [19:31] maxflax: yea i do have gnome on it... and it would all work fine but gnome tries to look for a monitor and says oh no you don't have one I'm going to ask you what to do and no matter what you pick never boot [19:31] bobstro: yes [19:31] jak-install - why not just install server with no X and just SSH to it and run task that way [19:32] sacarlson: its an applicatation that only has a gui, can't do over ssh [19:32] jak-install: or disable gdm to get booted. [19:32] maxflax: no terminal interface [19:32] hi [19:32] how do I reinstall the kernel ? [19:32] jak-install - ok [19:32] bobstro it boots far enough that I can ssh, so maybe I phrased it wrong, it books but gdm wont start [19:32] I think it may have been altered, I want a fresh kernel [19:33] jak-install: well you can run gui on ssh -x but keeping it running if you logout I'm not sure [19:33] jak-install: yeah, i'm thinking just disabling gdm from starting so the headless box comes up to a login prompt. then you can futz with remote X stuff once you can actually get to it. [19:33] :/ [19:33] I've got an Amazon AWS server set up the way I want it. Unfortunately, the disk size is far too large. I'm guessing that the way to move forward from here is to link a new harddisk into this instance, then copy everything on this disk to the other one, and then create a new boot AMI from there. However, if I just cp all files over I'm sure that won't do what I want (aren't there rules about where /boot and such must be located, also, permissions). [19:33] So, how do I make a bit-by-bit copy from one harddisk to the other so that the other disk can be used for booting, but the other disk is smaller? [19:33] I don't think dd will work in that case either. [19:34] sacarlson and bobstro thats the problem though is once i disconnect how to i keep it running, and i don't know how to start it from command line [19:34] humm guys I cant use wine on a exe file [19:34] marked as dangerous [19:34] HOW DO I INSTALL THE KERNEL [19:34] oy [19:34] apt-get install [19:34] jak-install: vnc runs on a dummy display. you can reconnect and resume. it's like windows terminal services in a way. [19:34] jak-install: i do not recall details of headless though! [19:34] bobstro so how i start the service? [19:35] What's the most unobtrusive way to downgrade Java to 1.6.17? [19:35] jak-install: I think the tightvncserver will work for you well, then; I have a box that I use it headless on that just has a couple of virtualbox instances on it. [19:35] -_- [19:35] second: Your kernel is already installed. [19:35] jak-install : have u seen this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1292212 [19:35] ~pastie [19:35] jak-install: i understand what you're saying. there is no X from which to launch vncserver. [19:35] Pici: how do I reinstall it :/ [19:35] !paste > extremedevilz [19:35] extremedevilz, please see my private message [19:35] Pici: I want to redownload it an replace it [19:35] beginner question time about xbmc on ubuntu: Can I set things up so that XBMC loads on log in (NOT as an XBMC session) in a similar way to the start up folder in windows? [19:36] jak-install: didn't follow from start, but you generate a fresh xorg.conf using "X -configure" [19:36] jak-install: i do not recall the details, and my experience is YEARS old anyhow. i was focusing on getting it booted without a display 1st. [19:36] Are there any wikis/guides/etc that explain how to use xen3.3 with 10.04? All the stuff I've come across from googling has been for older versions of Ubuntu and I'm not sure it is still relevant. Any hints? [19:36] Apparently the Mint update includes a severity level - is there any way to get that in Ubuntu? or is that a Mint "extra" [19:36] Pici: the kernel image that was in /boot got deleted, I need to reinstall it [19:36] second: Assuming you're running a standard desktop install: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic [19:36] ost2life: add it to System/Preferences/Startup Applications [19:36] maxflax it worked fine in 9.10, something broke in 8.04 [19:36] er 10.04 [19:36] Hoe do you do souce management in linux openoffice? [19:36] how* [19:36] jimcooncat so how i start the service [19:36] Pici: thanks ... finally someone just gave me the short answer [19:37] bobstro yea exactly [19:37] trism: ok...I actually don't know why I didn't think of that! I knew it'd be something obvious that'd make me look silly. :) Thanks [19:37] glebihan tried that and with monitor gdm wouldn't finish boot [19:37] bobstro, yea im sorry it does boot, the gdm doesn't sorry i misphrased it [19:37] jak-install: ok, I suppose you also tried failsafe mode ? [19:38] hello! I have Hauppauge Nova DVB-T PCI card, and I installed it on my computer. It shows when I test it with lspci command. But Ubuntu does not load modules. Or something like that? [19:38] glebihan yes, but that would bring me back to the same dialog saying we can't find your monitor (even though at that point the monitor was plugged in) [19:38] robotti^: you're missing the driver you mean? [19:38] jak-install: no problem. i assume you do want a login prompt, so suggestion still applies! a quick google makes me think vnc as a service works for what you want for the remote access. no firsthand experience with it in years myself. [19:38] nemo: should it be automatic? load correct modules? [19:39] jak-install: do you get to start a basic X session (without gnome) ? [19:39] bobstro but no x server running to launch it from [19:39] nemo: What I should do? [19:39] glebihan how do i do that?

The last thing I see is "Boot from hd(0,0) starting up..." and then the screen stays black. For an instance I think I see "unsupported controller" before the black screen. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? [19:40] http://pastie.org/private/rat09egqunbsyncjw7bsg < Need help [19:40] jak-install: this summarizes what i'm trying to say - http://stephenjungels.com/jungels.net/articles/headless-dual-boot.html [19:40] glebihan im lost... so i run both of those commands? [19:40] jak-install: you should read the tightvncserver section of: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers [19:40] robotti^: looks like there is ubuntu support... reading http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php [19:40] jak-install: I only gave you one [19:40] jak-install: well you can test with ssh -X yourremoteip then run firefox and see if it works [19:41] robotti^: oooh. this looks annoying http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_novafw.php [19:41] glebihan, yea sorry the other one was from someobye else [19:41] nemo: Yes I know. There is linux support. Because I have used that card on my Ubuntu server. For streaming television on my lan.

[19:43] glebihan, what does that do ? [19:43] extremedevilz: it makes the file executable, so it should work afterwards [19:43] jak-install: check this out http://www.linuxjournal.com/video/access-remote-gui-programs-using-ssh-forwarding [19:43] the command you gave me does not work [19:44] jak-install: look like he did it last year - http://scotttyee.com/blog/2009/12/09/linux-headless-ubuntu-with-vnc/ [19:44] Anyone know about where graphic settings is stored for gfx card? [19:44] extremedevilz: what error do you get ? [19:44] hawodi: there must be some way to set an environment variable to tell it which python to use [19:44] I control my music by typing in a web adress like this 127.0.0.1:2020?remote.php?db=AUDIO_DB&path=\\SERVER1\MediaDrive\music\audio1.mp3. is there a way to set it up so when it recieves \\"computername\path\to.mp3" it will go to a network drive? [19:44] Andre_Gondim: find the ubuntu marketing specs online, or edit the img in gimp and get the color with the color fetcher tool [19:44] i dont have the source to change it so i can mount folders [19:45] nvm slove [19:45] thanks esteeven [19:45] Andre_Gondim: Presumably its somewhere on http://design.canonical.com/ Any further questions should probably go to #ubuntu-artwork [19:45] estragib, thanks [19:45] sacralson ok [19:45] bobstro yea this problem only occurs in 10.04 [19:45] jimconcat: environment variable to tell the path of the python 2. 5? [19:45] jak-install: ok, sorry. i'll step out now. [19:46] jak-install: did running xinit work ? [19:48] maxflax: xorg.conf [19:48] anyone know if we can do anything about a hijacked mirror page in ubuntu's launchpad ? (its our mirror - but someone else opened up a page for it) [19:49] hawodi: python2.5 /usr/local/bin/yourscript.py [19:49] how can I change mouse scroll speed? [19:49] jak-install: I just read bobstro: it looks good too [19:50] hawodi: that just runs it directly [19:50] ChogyDan - have search that one, but the settings I do in Catalyst isn't there. Im looking for color temperature, gamma ect [19:50] jimconcat:thanks. will look at it. [19:51] Evening All. [19:51] anyone here have experience configuring ldap authentication with ubuntu? [19:51] There are loads of streaming media recorders available for PC (Where you install the software & it listens and detects the stream URL when you goto the web page, then downloads it for you) [19:51] does anyone know of such software for linux? [19:52] well, if my ubuntu one account gets just later deleted its okay... i did the steps on the help site, it just angers me that things are not done immaediatly' [19:52] I was getting an error in Evolution saying that it couldn't read my addressbook. So, I went to the forums to find a solution, it said to delete the gconf files in Evolution. and then reboot. When I did that I was unable to login. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Help? [19:52] so anyone? whats up with ubuntu one? [19:52] is there a way to add \\ windows like functionality to ubuntu? [19:53] Bullterd: I was recording some music before from a web radio site on ubuntu before. [19:53] It bothers me that no one in the whole world seems to know where settings like gamma, color temp and ect are stored. It's not in the file you thought it would be in ie xorg.conf [19:53] epp: you mean UNC access to windows services? [19:53] epp, please describe what you need [19:53] Bullterd: your built in Rhythmbox should allow streaming.. Amorak does as well.. If you're looking at capturing the stream to your computer check out streamripper [19:53] if anyone is familiar with LDAP auth on ubuntu, I have it working for SSH users (Home dirs are created, clients auth against ldap) bhowever when someone tries to log on to gnome, there is an error and after the screen blinks ac ouple times it's back ot the login screen [19:53] jimconcat: the app is not a python app. its a .deb package. [19:53] really i can only login as root [19:53] How do I login root to mount cd? [19:53] The issue is that I know this stream is rtmp not a shoutcast stream [19:54] if this was shoutcast I would have done this about 3 hours ago :p [19:54] maxflax: you're quite right, since xorg.conf is not used by default, it seems that nobody really knows where the configuration is stored [19:54] elitexray: use sudo with the command [19:54] how do I make a folder into a file without compressing it? [19:54] elitexray: just use "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom" [19:54] Semitones: what ? [19:54] thanks i'll try that [19:55] ikonia, I basically want to make a .zip file except not use compression [19:55] so is that .bz, .tar, what? [19:55] glebihan - yes, seems like thats the case. buggs me tons thou and it's almost becomming an obession to find out [19:55] Semitones: tar [19:55] Semitones: bz is compressed [19:55] Bullterd: maybe streamripper can do it [19:56] maxflax: gnome-color-chooser has some color settings [19:56] kk thanks :) [19:56] maxflax: same thing for me, get so many questions about that, never able to answer... [19:56] <3 Ubuntu [19:56] maxflax: you mean for entire display, not just elements, right? [19:57] glehbihan , if i were to install the setup.exe, how would i do that? [19:57] Bullterd: then check out VLC .. it will do most anything.. including video streaming. [19:57] And with using wine [19:57] ikonia, (I was making a DVD but it kept saying it couldn't make all filenames windows compatible, so I'm just putting the folder in a tar) [19:57] zxvff: I'm not really familiar, but can you go to a login terminal (ctrl-alt-F1) and log in as a user from there? [19:57] bobstro: yes maxflax is talking about display configuration [19:57] jimcooncat: yep, with no problems [19:57] guys how can I remove a program that dont want to be removed at all [19:57] bobstro - I can do the settings in catalyst but sinces it looses the setting upon reboot I feel the need to know where it's stored [19:58] seems they say package fail while removing [19:58] bobstro, jimcooncat i want to be able to tell consol to look at a path like "vlc \\EVAN-PC\Media Drive M\Music\Taurine.mp3" [19:58] and go to a network drive on my other pc [19:58] jimcooncat: it only complains when i try to login to gnome. i'm trying an update to 10.4 right now [19:58] elitexray: what do you mean "install the setup.exe", running it I guess ? [19:58] # [19:58] glebihan: isn't that the sort of stuff that ubuntu is hiding from users? [19:58] it just sucks becuase if i have ot update to 10.4 it means i have to update every user in our organization [19:58] bobstro: well, it looks like that for some time yes [19:58] "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom runs my cd rom but did not install the file from it [19:59] elitexray: so it's a Windows program you want to run ? [19:59] yeah I'm trying to install Starcraft [19:59] glebihan: hard enough just to change basic colors on the desktop sometime. [19:59] on wine [19:59] <_2easy> maybe now will there be somebody who knows where the file, which keeps the info that, if the external monitor is connected to VGA port or not, is? [19:59] I was getting an error in Evolution saying that it couldn't read my addressbook. So, I went to the forums to find a solution, it said to delete the gconf files in Evolution. and then reboot. When I did that I was unable to login. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Help? [19:59] how do i find out were my cdrom is mounted? [19:59] elitexray: well, then run "wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe", but I cannot guarantee it'll work [19:59] I tried it [20:00] <_2easy> var_: df [20:00] var_: Try under /media [20:00] df? [20:00] elitexray: what happened ? [20:00] i did :\ [20:00] zxvff: something funky with gdm I'd say.

[20:04] how to configure gtalk for audio and video chat in ubuntu 10.04 [20:05] I upgraded my Dell Latitude E6510 (Intel Core i5 CPU) to 10.04 this morning and can't boot into kernel 2.6.32.24. If I use the grub menu to boot 2.6.31.22 everything seems fine. Anyone have any suggestions on how to debug the default menu option (2.6.32.24) ? All I get is a black screen. [20:05] Hm I dont know [20:05] <_2easy> jimcooncat: yes, exactly [20:06] i've already tried rescanning the scsi bus, but to no avail. [20:06] dwayne: try move the file mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.org reboot your original kernel. [20:06] dwayne: try booting a livecd === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [20:07] What's the difference in uses between .tar.7z and just .7z? [20:07] <_2easy> jimcooncat: i know that there is for egzample /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state file, which i use i other script, and i want to know is there simmilar for VGA [20:07] tar does not compress [20:07] <_2easy> in* [20:07] both ones eventually get compressed by .7z though [20:07] what is the difference between tarring it first or not [20:08] epp: you can just mount the remote music directory easily enough. [20:08] _2easy: this is a laptop, and the switch is between the laptop screen and an external vga? [20:08] Semitones: a tar is usually a collection of files, which you can compress, with gzip for instance (tar.gz or tgz) [20:09] gzip only compresses a single file. i don't know anything about 7zip so i can't comment on that [20:09] <_2easy> jimcooncat: yeah, precisely, this is what the script should do, switching resolution, and turning off the laptop screen when external one is present [20:09] sacarlson, same behavior [20:09] oh kk. i'm just trying to figure out what the best compression method for archiving files would be [20:10] dwayne: so does the live cd boot display ok then? [20:10] trying that now [20:10] When i type mount, it should tell me the location of where the file is located. I don't understand why I can't mount that file === y0sh_ is now known as y0sh [20:11] Semitones: i don't know what you'll be using it for, but for daily tasks i think tar/gzip is just fine === y0sh is now known as y0sh_ [20:12] What's the most unobtrusive way to downgrade Java to 1.6.17? [20:12] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, Kk, this is a little bit different -- I'm putting files on DVD with the hopes that they'll still be able to be opened 10/20 years in the future [20:12] bobstro, the software i use to control uses that scheme. I would need source to correct it for \media\Media Drive M\Music. [20:12] Semitones: tar + gzip has been around for 15 years, [20:12] Nanobot: whey would that be needed? seems newer supports older in java [20:12] <_2easy> jimcooncat: it's all because i'm not using GNOME, but the xmonad, and i have to do it manually. [20:12] any map programs for maps around the world? [20:12] bobstro, so im just looking for a client side fix. [20:13] Semitones: I would worry that the media itself would not last that long [20:13] bobstro gelbihan sacralson yea, i guess all that works, i found a way to launch it from command line [20:13] not even if it's kept in a safe dry place? [20:13] terminal* [20:13] sacarlson: We're trying to install a Java web app, and it keeps hanging in the middle of installation. I found a bug report that suggests there's a compatibility problem with 1.6.18 and up. So, I'm trying to get 1.6.17 set up to see if that fixes it [20:13] so I'll just use screen to hold it in the background [20:14] epp: not exactly sure i'm understanding. but you can certainly use sshfs (etc.) to mount ad-hoc directories on a remote machine (running ssh) locally. does that get you close? [20:14] _2easy: I only see some references to doing this with ATI graphics -- I'm not finding a kernel hook here. Just hardwired switch to the BIOS. [20:14] Semitones: okay, i suggest not using tar/gzip for this, because when the archive gets corrupted, you probably don't have much luck in recovering the data. Better find a method where corruption of data does not destroy the rest of the data [20:14] jak-install: but will it stay open or does it need to stay open when you client shuts down? [20:14] Nanobot: ok [20:15] anyone know how to make toshiba laptop hotkeys work on ubuntu 10.10? [20:15] sacarlson it needs to stay open when i disconnect ssh [20:15] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, sounds good. hmm [20:15] elitexray: if the cd is mounted, the output of mount should tell you that. you sure it is mounted? [20:15] jak-install: ya did you find a way to do that? [20:15] <_2easy> jimcooncat: oh, is that so, what a pity, but thanks for help, a lot:) [20:15] anyone knows how to hide the messages in the background of Thunderbird, while i am asked the master password?

Worked perfectly in Ubuntu [20:16] sacralson yes i feel fairly stupid now [20:16] jak-install: that's why it sounded like the vnc would be the way to go [20:17] Hello all [20:17] sacarlson yea, thats what i was thinking... but won't screen do the job? [20:17] hello bdutta [20:17] Is it okay to ask a question [20:17] ? [20:17] _2easy: do you have anything under /proc/acpi/video/ ? (I don't have a laptop handy) [20:17] <_2easy> jimcooncat: yes sure, give me a moment [20:17] Semitones: if you are going to have just a single copy of your data, i suggest leaving the files on a filesystem where you can restore individual files [20:17] cdmr_w_t_riker , yes it should be since my cd rom rotated and the icon appeared on my desktop [20:18] jak-install: I'm not sure what method you finaly are using. screen? if the display is no longer there to run the app I guess it will lock up or something [20:18] elitexray: have you checked the content of the /media directory? [20:18] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, that's what I was trying to do originally [20:18] <_2easy> jimcooncat: /proc/acpi/video/VGA/ and there CRTD DOS info LCDD POST POST_info ROM TVOD [20:19] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, but I couldn't get the uncompressed files to burn to the DVD -- something about not windows compatible [20:19] Hello Dice-man [20:19] sacarlson http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-screen-command-howto.html [20:19] any tips / pointers on how to restore the startup-menu method of launching 'Ubuntu Software Center', that i seem to have lost after changing to a Real-Time kernel... [20:19] I've opened the folder to the file [20:19] maybe I need to pull out k3b for this job [20:19] Semitones: what did you use before? [20:20] I can access the setup.exe from the cd. I thought i could right click "open with" to select wine to begin the installation [20:20] i tried brasero and the integrated nautillus tool [20:20] jak-install: wow that sounds like it might work cool [20:20] <_2easy> jimcooncat: cat info -> switching heads yes, video rom no, device to be POSTed on boot no [20:20] Semitones: aren't CD/DVDs notorious for losing their integrity after a couple of years? [20:20] jak-install: try it and tell me how it goes after a shutdown and power up of you client remote [20:20] _2easy, all I can say is if there's something related, it's in there. I'm also seeing references to "vga-switcheroo" but can't find a package. [20:21] But I get this command instead " The file is not marked as executable" [20:21] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, if they are I need to find a better way of backing up data [20:21] because hard disks fail all the time too [20:22] Anyone here that got dual screen setup on Xubuntu? [20:22] <_2easy> jimcooncat: unfortunately i've already checked this folder twice. i will look for this package too. [20:22] how do i configure acpi [20:22] Semitones: at least keep copies of your data on physical different media if your data is important. [20:23] anyone got any experience with getting ubuntu 10.04 working with a dell latitude d505? i get it to install/boot, but X dies on it if i try to run stuff like VLC [20:23] is it possible to display splashscreen in fullscreen mode when running nvidia drivers? [20:24] kevinSj: in my experience, dual screens really only work in Ubuntu... it's too big of a hassle in other desktops at the moment [20:24] I was getting an error in Evolution saying that it couldn't read my addressbook. So, I went to the forums to find a solution, it said to delete the gconf files in Evolution. and then reboot. When I did that I was unable to login. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Help? [20:24] Am I getting "not marked as executable" upon installation of my file because the CD isn't the original version? [20:25] elitexray: no, you're getting that message because the executable doesn't have the executable bit set as required in linux to run an application [20:26] or unix for that matter [20:26] It seems like this happens to every burned cd I have.

[20:28] elitexray: probably because the files on your CD are mounted as ordinary (ie. non executable) files, since the filesystem on the CD-ROM does not support such file attributes, so linux just mounts the files as ordinary ones [20:28] at least k3b is burning the DVD :) [20:28] elitexray: i suggest either altering your mount options, or copying the data from CD to your harddisk and set the executable bit on the install.exe [20:28] Semitones: yay [20:29] I have xchat set up on my desktop (here). I want to have the exact same settings on my laptop (there). Where can I find any sort of configuration and/or setting file, and to where should I copy it, to make this happen? Or is there some other, better way? [20:29] That's good information. I can extract the setup.exe or get .iso format from the CD? [20:29] howdy [20:29] I have xchat set up on my desktop (here).

[20:38] figured out that I could launch Software-Center using this command: /usr/bin/software-center ! so i can at-least, manually add it back to the menu. [20:38] andrew67: nope [20:38] andrew67: you shouldn't be unless you launched it with -d [20:38] does anybody know a way to have the machine auto fix the disk instead of prompting if theres a problem on bootup? [20:39] Thanks cmdr. I figured it out and now sc installing :) [20:39] elitexray: great [20:39] I like your air of confidence [20:39] andrew67, lucid is the latest stable version, dont upgrade to the dev version unless you know what you are doing [20:39] jak-install: thats not something you want believe it or not, you shouldn't get a disk (fsck) error very often though [20:39] okay, will cancel it now then! [20:39] hi guys, i can't figure out whats wrong with ubuntu - it starts up okay and everything, but when i double click icons on the desktop they don't work -- nothing happens, just goes 'busy' for a second then nothing -- can someone help? i've tried a lot of stuff, restarting gdm etc [20:40] mib_mib: what icons are on the desktop that don't work [20:40] hi all. i have a series of subdirs (of an unknown level) that i want to delete jpg files from. how do i issue a command to do this from cmdline? [20:40] for example, text files that should open with gedit, the 'terminal' program shortcut [20:40] ikonia i know... but its doing it a lot... idk i just plugged a keyboard into it... whata u gonna do [20:41] ikonia: also, when i go to applications and click on them there, they don't run either, although ODDDLY, a few do like emacs [20:41] g_, find . -type f -name "*.jpg" [20:41] jak-install: you need to find out why, you have a problem there that's serious, [20:41] whats the end of life in the topic :S [20:42] jak-install: can you launch them from the terminal [20:42] !end-of-life | DragonKeeper [20:42] DragonKeeper: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [20:42] toxictux: will that actually remove them though? [20:42] oh ok [20:42] g_, no it will list them [20:43] g_, look if the files contain spaces or special chars [20:43] g_: no, it will just list the files that match the search criteria. TO delete them, eitther add -delete or some xargs construction. best first check if you're not matching files you do not want to have deleted [20:43] toxictux: so would i pipe that to rm? [20:44] g_, append | xargs rm -i [20:44] Hi, I'm trying to install OpenBravo and I get this error message: E: openbravo-erp: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [20:44] emapthy shows network error ,but i am able to use pidgin..

How do i get my system to recognize the boot cd [20:47] zpguy, BIOS [20:47] Hi I cannot boot into ubuntu the following message appear:General error mounting filesystems [20:47] @EvilPhoenix, while your system boots up, the BIOS POST might typically report the processor, or somewhere inside BIOS menu. Also, if you are already booted into 32-bit mode in Linux, on a processor that is actually 64-bit, you can use the cpuinfo attribute under /proc to get more cpu specific information [20:47] I have ubuntu 10;04 [20:47] bdutta, not on ah HP netbook ... [20:47] I'm typing from a live cd , I'm a total noob but i'm not afraid of terminal or corecting files manually [20:47] Helpmeplease, your system must be messed [20:47] evilphoenix, bios is ok [20:47] @EvilPhoenix... ah indeed. I use one too. [20:48] @Helpmeplease, do you get an offer to land on the Single-user shell ??? [20:48] zpguy: either change mmedia boot order in bios or press (i think) f12 for Dell laptops to choose boot media [20:48] My system reads other boot discs, but not my ubuntu cd [20:48] no [20:48] The cd of course works on other systems [20:48] zpguy: have you tried that CD in another computer?

[20:49] after grub only to go to a maintenance shell or to type crtl d but then I am rebooted to grub [20:49] elitexray: perhaps the good folks of #wine can give you some useful pointers [20:49] @Helpmeplease sometimes if your CMOS battery is dead, and the BIOS RTC is reset to epoch (1st-Jan-1970), you FS checks fail your primary boot media would refuse to boot further. [20:49] my keyboard is french so when asked to type root password it does not work.

In which case you could boot into/via LiveCD, and then try to diagnose issues with your primary HDD [20:51] zpguy: doesn't look like a problem with ubuntu in any case, more like the medium is not read by your dvd properly. perhaps you're trying to read a dvd in a cdrom drive? you might want to create a bootable usb stick to install ubuntu from (unetbootin for starters) [20:51] I am on the live cd lol because I cannot boot at all. [20:51] ok, great, so now i'd like to run this from cron, should i chdir to the dir i want to search down from, or add the path in the find? [20:52] zpguy, my next thought is an incomplete CD [20:52] zpguy, or a not correctly burned CD [20:52] bad download most likely [20:52] http://pastebin.com/MbYNwrmK still having a problem burning a DVD Video [20:52] mhm [20:52] Helpmeplease: the instructions I gave you tells you how to recover using your live cd http://paste.ubuntu.com/489015/ [20:52] g_: use the absolute path in the find command [20:52] ok, seems i may have fixed the d505/i855gm issues i was having *crosses fingers* [20:53] how uninstall evolution ? [20:53] @Helpmeplease.. you mean you cannot boot up via LiveCD ? if so, one possibility is that your CD media has gone bad. [20:53] aguitel: use the software manager or apt-get or aptitude [20:53] aguitel, sudo apt-get uninstall evolution ? [20:53] aguitel, sudo apt-get remove evolution [20:53] Lol [20:53] thankz [20:54] bdutta: sounds like they are now runing on live cd [20:54] no i cannot boot my installed system as the message General error mounting filesystems appear and I'am now in a live cd [20:54] ah... thanks for clarifying sacarlson [20:54] Hello guys, can anyone tell me what is the name of the remove-script in a deb package and where do I place it ?(I hope the name to be postrm and place it in the DEBIAN folder) [20:54] got it @Helpmeplease [20:55] hakermania: #ubuntu-packaging would be the best place to ask that [20:55] Pici, thx for this [20:55] I'm trying to do a system upgrade and the do-release-upgrade complains (http://paste.org/pastebin/view/22256), what can I do to fix that? [20:55] thanks guntbert [20:55] once you'r booted in LiveCD, on that system... are you able to mound your hard-disk partitions under /tmp somewhere ? [20:56] after mounting them under /tmp somewhere, you can run 'fsck -y' to check the disk. [20:56] hi [20:56] they are mounted normally by nautilus and appear when clicking on the shortcuts [20:57] bdutta: fsck on a mounted filesystem? [20:57] Is there a way to sync a folder with google docs? [20:57] wow [20:57] guest@guest:~$ sudo fsck -y fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 [20:57] ah... sorry. my bad !! not on the mounted system... on the device plz.

[20:58] thx [20:58] rooks then your profile [20:58] duffydack: didn't know that.. thanks.. in the repos? [20:58] thanks guys, [20:59] http://code.google.com/p/google-docs-fs/ [21:00] sudo fsck -y /dev/sda8 fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) /dev/sda8: clean, 271015/1884160 files, 1750734/7522428 blocks [21:01] Can anyone help with an external hard disk and fstab issue?

[21:04] I added an external hard disk to my system before booting and the device name of an another external was given to this. The original external was configured in fstab to mount to locations based on dev name. This still worked! [21:04] yacc: http://ppa.launchpad.net/smaioli/ppa/ubuntu/dists/ doesn't appear to have a lucid branch, you probably need to disable it. [21:04] anyone know how to use the arrow keys when running ubuntu server in VMWare on a Windows 7 machine? [21:05] My main problem is I want to configure truecrypt but I'm concerned if the machine is booted without the second external it will revert causing problems with my trueccrypt setup. [21:05] duffydack: looks like your link might be a better solution.. thanks [21:05] thune3, I removed the ppa from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ but it still complains, ... [21:06] Scunizi, there is a deb also from the google code page [21:06] adymitruk: you could get around it by using Putty to ssh into the ubuntu server instead of using the terminal that vmware gives you [21:06] duffydack: the ppa says he also has it posted there... nice.. thanks [21:06] right.. ok.. I guess I'll try that. Thanks, jimcooncat! [21:07] @Helpmeplease, if you do have a copy of your previous (working fstab) say saved as a .bak (backup) file in the same filesystem, then after you've mounted your /dev/sda8 under /tmp somewhere, you can edit the fstab, or restore from .bak file, do 'sync' couple of times (not sure if that ritual is necessary any more), and then umount, and try rebooting with original setup. [21:07] I had installed ubuntu & ubuntu studio on my computer, something happen to grub and had to reinstall grub. How can i get ggrub to see the other linux OS?

[21:09] probably the usb daemon has a too low priority [21:09] kdasdasf: does it sometimes get repeated keystrokes?

[21:10] c'mon son [21:10] LjL, how did you fix your problem? [21:10] d-eee: how is that an ubuntu support question? [21:10] kdasdasf: i didn't really, i changed motherboards :( [21:11] @Helpmeplease... after mounting your /dev/sda8 under /tmp somewhere in LiveCD, can you try to check the dmesg logs ?? where exactly does it bomb ? [21:11] guntbert: cuz it happens when using karmi koala [21:11] LjL, hm i hope i don't have to ^^ [21:11] it's a laptop ^^ [21:11] d-eee so you're seeing a .Trash folder when you run it under windows, correct?

[21:12] d-eee that's because you're not deleting the files when you're under Ubuntu, you're moving them to .Trash [21:12] can someone tell d-eee how to add a delete option to Nautilus? [21:13] bdutta: I don't see the menu.lst file [21:13] jimcooncat: but I press delete. [21:13] in tmp where are the dmesg logs? [21:13] jimcooncat: delete option in nautilus. I'll look it up. appreciate the hint. thanks [21:13] d-eee yes, under Nautilus that means "move to trash", not delete [21:14] jimcooncat: ok, so it can be done in nautilus, don't have to go command line? [21:14] Scunizi, just tried it, nice. needed python-fuse and the gdata deb also... but works nice [21:14] just installed 10.04 server on an HP DL580 quad xeon rack. no network connectivity. kinda noob, not sure where to start. halp?

[21:37] mbeierl: that's just going to be a setting you have in proc/net; I highly doubt Ubuntu alters the kernel so much as for that to be different (though they may ship with different defaults) [21:37] Helpmeplease: yes at what point did it mount it /media/??? [21:37] ok [21:38] boywonder: it will either: work, won't work, or work with a lot of work [21:38] lol [21:38] yes media [21:38] boywonder: best is to find someone with that phone and try it [21:38] Does anyone know a good tutorial for full disk encryption with LUKS and LVM on a dual boot system? [21:38] thanks [21:38] Padster yes [21:38] brianlamere: RH5 uses kernel 2.6.18 ... so that's why I wondered if there were improvements in that area or if anyone had recent experience :) [21:38] Helpmeplease: also I should see in that /media/???/etc/fstab line that has root [21:38] Padster I removed it and readded it and it still doesn't work [21:39] itsjustme: and when you click it it doesn't do anything?

[21:40] whats up with these floodbot's [21:40] boywonder: other than that, get the exact model number of the phone and see if anyone else has it working. You may need to try several channels, like #linux, #hardware, or #debian as well as here [21:40] you think its a problem of grub? [21:40] i needs some help... i was told this was the place to be? haha [21:41] Padster that is correct. I can move say another open browser to another and see it but when I left click on it, it doesn't go to it [21:41] Helpmeplease: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638/ /dev/sda [21:41] jimcooncat, will do thanks alot [21:41] anyone who knows how the PPA system works? I'd like to pm [21:42] Brandon_: I know some [21:42] any ideas on the futex_wait problem running java programs ? [21:42] boywonder: if you don't get a bunch of hits with googling "linux [model of phone]" you might not get going with it [21:42] sacarlson, wanna pm? [21:42] im running windows vista *vomits everywhere* and i want to switch to ubuntu but im totally green with it so i need some helps... [21:42] Brandon_: prefer here to start [21:42] itsjustme: so you mean with just trying to switch desktop, not drag a window or anything, right?

Then you can burn a live cd and take Ubuntu for a test run without touching your hard drive to see if your computer likes it [21:44] tunnelingcat: if you mean you don't know how they work in wine, there is a site where people post how well things work. http://appdb.winehq.org/ [21:44] guest@guest:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638/ /dev/sda [21:44] so yeah. i run Steam.... and Skype.. will they work on ubuntu?

[22:07] <_2easy> aeon-ltd: ok then, so how can i tell the grub, when he is creating the grub.cfg, to take into account only the newest kernel? [22:09] <_2easy> aeon-ltd: i don't want to manually remove them every time there is a new version of the kernel [22:09] once that I have installed ALSA, i can delete the tarball and the extracted files from my downloads folder, right? [22:10] <_2easy> aeon-ltd: or, how can i force apt-get to remove those kernels? [22:10] cmon, give a hand to a noob [22:10] _2easy: keep the second newest and remove all the others with your favorite package manager [22:10] <_2easy> hihihi100: yes [22:10] every time i update packages my /etc/mailcap file is modified, this annoys me as i have some custom setting there i need to re-set again and again [22:10] _2easy: yeah, its much easier with synaptics [22:10] !ask| hihihi100 [22:10] hihihi100: 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).

[22:16] VintageRitz: yeah its night in gmt, so thats prob why [22:16] aeon-ltd, i did, i did not found this, i thought it was some image i had to modify, thanks again [22:16] For the last month CUPS does not start on boot... I have to manually start the demon. How do I fix that? [22:16] rblst: oh ok [22:16] aeon-ltd it was kinda useless and I had to install lxde which nearly as slow as gnome [22:17] !askthebot | uRock [22:17] uRock: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [22:17] Scunizi, there should be something for cups in Startup Applications [22:18] hello everyone. I'm having trouble burning a DVD back-up disc with various files. I'm using 10.04 on a Dell laptop, tried both Brasero and Gnomebaker. The programs go for a little while, then spit the disc out without burning. How can I find out what's going wrong? [22:18] rblst: my understanding (could be wrong) is that user mime types go in /etc/mailcap.order (for system wide) or ~/.mailcap (user specific). [22:18] i'm getting a message in icon area that 'demon of gnome settings just ended prematurelly' why does it happen? [22:18] uRock: I'm running kubuntu so thing are a bit different then gnome.. [22:18] ffdsf: ok, you are kinda pushing it though with your specs, but if you'd like to learn about linux please feel free to try http://www.archlinux.org/download/ and use this for reference http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide , archlinux unlike ubuntu is much more raw and that gives it the advantage in performance [22:18] thune3, okay, thanks, and those take prefeference, right? [22:19] define raw [22:19] thune3, i'll try that, thank you [22:19] rblst: supposed to. that's what the documentation says, anyway. [22:19] ffdsf: its basically packages neeeded to get online, a kernel, a package manager [22:20] ffdsf: oh and cli by default [22:20] Scunizi, sorry about that. Didn't realize kubuntu didn't have that app [22:20] rblst: for items put in /etc/mailcap.order (as it says in the header) you need to run sudo update-mime to get them propagated to mailcap file. === lulz is now known as lol [22:24] uRock: no problem.. I do think that there is a bug filed about this... but finding it is tough [22:25] if I have succesfully installed-upgraded ALSA via AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh, and when running cat /proc/asound/version I get cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory, what should I do?

[22:29] I'm running kubuntu, trying to make a ubuntu netbook flash drive [22:29] guntbert, yeah i already have the memory bar, but it only shows the percentage [22:29] when I reboot, f12, go to "removable devices" it pases and then just boots into kubuntu as normal [22:29] Hi. Is it still possible to install within Windoze? [22:30] !thunderbird64bit [22:30] hi! [22:30] Pavel_10: use the "Startup Disk Creator" in "System" .. as long as you have an iso of the unr you should be good to go [22:30] newkno: google, wubi [22:30] scunizi, I'm already past that [22:30] newkno: yes with wubi... but you might be better off using Virtualbox and run an actual VM [22:30] It's not that simple, aeon-ltd. [22:30] Pavel_10: so what' [22:30] newkno: yes it is [22:30] Pavel_10: so what's the issue [22:30] what's the easiest way to split, then join a binary file [22:31] I plan to use VB eventually. [22:31] scunizi, I used the usb creator to put the iso on the drive, but when I select it at a bootup menu it doesn't load [22:31] newkno: I really don't like wubi.. [22:31] newkno: VB = Virtual Box or something else? [22:31] First, though I have a problem. So I just want to install a Linux f.s. within an NTFS one. [22:31] virtualbox is so unfortunately named [22:31] :/ [22:31] virtualbox [22:31] can I test the integrity of the install? [22:31] ghostlines: then select it press F4 to change the type of display [22:32] Pavel_10: did the utility ask to reformat the pen drive? and are you plugging it into a usb port directly on the computer or a hub? [22:32] I can refer you to something I posted that explains things better than i can do here. [22:32] newkno, installing vbox, then installing ubuntu within is very easy [22:32] newkno: you can't have ext fs in a ntfs, you have to emulate with a VB like you said, or dual boot [22:32] just a moment... [22:32] you can't go wrong [22:32] Yes And I want to know how to do those things. [22:32] Pavel_10, md5sum the iso and then plug in the stick and cd into it and md5sum -c md5sum.txt [22:32] First, though, just for my own reasons, I want to install Ubuntu within Windoze. [22:32] rtm [22:33] I can't figure out how to do it. [22:33] somebody knows if the new ubuntu 10.10 has fixed the error unable unmount /cdrom during installation from another disk partition [22:33] The online docs are outdated. [22:33] !manual [22:33] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [22:33] is up to date [22:33] sorry, how could i leave the NickServ page ? [22:33] scunizi, it didn't ask anything about the drive. directly. duffydac, what is md5sum? [22:34] - you mean it used to be possible to install Ubuntu within Windoze, but no longer is? [22:34] That's what the evidence is suggesting to me. [22:34] newkno, you either have to use wubi or VBox [22:34] or VM [22:35] uRock - I used wubi, but it doesn't have the option illustrated in the docs I was referred to by someone else. [22:36] newkno: feel free to tweak some settings but this is basically it http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox [22:36] check out the new manual, there is a lot in it, do you want to install in a VM? [22:36] There is no "Install Inside Windows" option button presented, unlike what's shown on the web page. Maybe it's because of what you said about the ext4 f.s. not being able to live inside an NTFS one. [22:36] Thanks, aeon-ltd. [22:37] If you have the disk in the drive and doubleclick the icon within WIndows, then it should offer an exe to install [22:37] Hi, I've an external drive I'm trying to copy to another drive. The drive I'm trying to copy to is mounted automatically via fstab but it only has root permissions. How can I add access for other users? [22:37] newkno: your welcome, i hope it works out :) [22:37] aeon-ltd & uRock, I was looking for an easy way to restore the MBR onto an internal drive in a laptop. [22:37] Any ideas why I can't seem to burn a DVD. I'm using 10.04 on a Dell laptop, tried both Brasero and Gnomebaker. The programs go for a little while, then spit the disc out without burning. How can I find out what's going wrong and is there another channel that deals more specifically with those issues? [22:37] newkno: you might wanna ask in #windows [22:37] aeon-ltd & uRock, let me give you a URL where my situation is explained in detail... [22:37] Manfred- what page? [22:38] bodwick: the one where the identify bot speak to me, /leave didn't work [22:38] very basic question: can I install both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of the same package? (let's say it's a library) [22:39] no [22:39] Manfred- ubuntu-unregistered or sth like that ? [22:39] Manfred-: you need the nickserv channel as long as your in freenode [22:39] bodwick: ubuntu/Nickserv [22:39] Typh: use the 'split' command to split into pieces, then later use 'cat' to rejoin the pieces. Use md5sum to verify the new copy is identical to the original... [22:39] aeon-ltd & uRock, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/124863 [22:39] aeon-ltd: okay ;( [22:40] aeon-ltd - tnx! [22:40] Does anyone have any recommendation for a CLI batch ID3 program? [22:40] aeon-ltd: thanks by the way [22:40] unimatrix the 64 bit processor only works in one way 32bit or 64 i think [22:41] opheron it can run either 32bit or 64bit, the problem is will Ubuntu allow me to keep both variations [22:42] unimatrix: you can't have both in the same os...but you can install the 32bit and 64bit os side by side and boot either one [22:42] opheron since some binaries do not exist in 64bit i need to get some 32bit libs, but obviously i can't remove the native 64bit libs because then everything else will stop working [22:43] unimatrix it will create conflicts [22:43] Raptors: http://more-cowbell.org/index.php/Main_Page [22:43] opheron this is probably the reason why 64bit still hasn't picked up well [22:44] unimatrix your processor supports virtualization [22:44] !biarch | unimatrix I've never done it, but apparently it can be done: [22:44] unimatrix I've never done it, but apparently it can be done:: A BiArch 64-bit system is one that comes with a complete 32-bit package system, as well. This means that you can run 32bit packages as well on your 64-bit install [22:45] How does one install the 32bit thunderbird on a 64bit Ubuntu? [22:45] Im haivng difficulty running a bash command, it outputs that the command isnt found (im not a noob when it comes to basic bash syntax) [22:45] Hello i cant update my basic packages i have access to the internet wired/wireless [22:45] Eyes_Only: what's the command you're using? [22:46] uRock: You can install 64bit thunderbird. Why do you want 32bit thunderbird? [22:46] Eyes_Only: paste it if you need to [22:46] i dropped a symlink to adb in /usr/bin and tried running adb [22:46] Flannel, there is no 64bit thunderbird on the Mozilla page [22:46] Eyes_Only: what's the path to the symlink, and what's the command you're using? [22:46] Eyes_Only: wheres adb located? [22:46] uRock: Is there anything wrong with the one in the repositories? [22:46] Loshki but I can already run 32bit stuff just fine, the problem arises when there is a library dependency and since the lib exists, but in 64bit, the software won't run [22:46] Eyes_Only: just use the full path in the script [22:46] THEN when that didnt work, i used cd /path/to/adb and then ./adb [22:47] uRock: (sudo apt-get install thunderbird) [22:47] flannel, no lightning support [22:47] and it still outputs that it wasnt found [22:47] unimatrix: I haven [22:47] Question for anyone that can help regarding computer lagging, freezing, hanging, etc. on file copy operations [22:47] unimatrix: I haven't done it myself, but I understand you can install compatibility libraries for 32 bit apps... [22:48] Flannel, no biggie, I was hoping to get lucky [22:48] uRock: Hmm. Lightning was dropped in Lucid. Interesting. Hold on, let me check the PPAs [22:48] Eyes_Only: is adb executable? [22:48] unimatrix thast why we need to think 64 bit its server only..., it be more easy install ubuntu 32 bit and wait to 64 bit [22:49] yes, ill even chmod 777d it [22:49] Loshki true, but sometimes they don't exist (for example libglut) [22:49] Eyes_Only: chmod -x it as well [22:49] yes [22:49] that too [22:49] Flannel, I am wondering why mozilla doesn't offer the 64bit forr it, when they have 3.1.3 in the 64bit 10.10 [22:49] aeon-ltd - with regard to the page you referred me to - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox - it looks useful, but I want to do things inside out - to install Windoze underneath Linux - to boot into Ubuntu and then run Windoze underneath. Makes more sense to me. [22:49] can someone pm me regarding file copy operations and lagging/hanging in ubuntu? [22:49] unimatrix: you need more help than I can give you, sorry... [22:49] !pm | slooksterpsv [22:49] slooksterpsv: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [22:50] Eyes_Only: what's the full path to the file you're trying to run? You haven't specified that [22:50] uRock: Yeah, that is strange too. You might head over to #ubuntu-mozillateam and ask. They'll probably know more about it, and what you can do to get TB and lightning [22:50] newkno: ok, but its roughly the same process :) [22:50] Flannel, will do, thanx [22:50] Eyes_Only: oh, yeah, and make sure the filesystem it's sitting on isn't mounted noexec [22:50] !cookie | Flannel =) [22:50] aeon-ltd: gotcha [22:50] Flannel =): Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [22:51] @ubottu - ok [22:51] newkno: but with wubi you can run windows or ubuntu once, not ever in the same time, or windows or ubuntu :D [22:51] aeon-ltd: had a chance to read the thing I posted? I was just trying to find some way to make the internal drive bootable. I'm sure there must be easier ways. I'd even settle for a working GRUB in the MBR. [22:51] unimatrix may you can get libglut if you download the rpm package [22:51] hey, isnt the syntax for chmod: chmod -x 777 [file] [22:52] Eyes_Only: no [22:52] opheron why rpm? [22:52] filo1234: If you use VirtualBox by Sun you shuold be able to run them in integrated mode. side-by-side. yes? [22:52] Eyes_Only: to make it executable, try this: chmod +x [22:52] Nach0z: sure [22:52] Eyes_Only: no just do -x [22:52] unimatrix or maybe use this http://bioscreencastwiki.com/Compiling_pymol_from_subversion_for_64bit_ubuntu [22:52] apologies if this is covered in a FAQ somewhere - but I can't seem to find an answer -- 10.04 and 10.10 CDs on all of my systems (dual-head NVidia Quadro) result in screen in "power save mode" -- there is a kernel boot line option that disabled the frame buffer stuff which allowed me to install in the past, but I can't find the syntax - anyone have any ideas? [22:52] aeon-ltd: -x REMOVES executable bit! [22:53] hi is there a freenode channel specifically dedicated to building computers? [22:53] okidoki. just thought i'd put in my two cents. in the meantime, i've got some questions and i didnt know where else to go. anyone here know how to use ubuntu to set up a server using a home desktop computer? [22:53] So when I copy files from an NTFS to EXT4, or EXT4 to NTFS (on same drive); my applications hang and I can't click anything until the copy operation is done - all windows gray out. I thought it may have been a kernel 2.6.35.14 issue, so I reverted back to 2.6.32.24 - it still happens. I'm trying to figure out what's going on, if its an issue with EXT4, NTFS in Linux, or something else like the kernel or mint. [22:53] Nach0z: with vbox you can run all guest machines that you want....if have enought RAM [22:53] file1234: yes. I know. I don't want a dual-boot system, which is why something like VirtualBox is attractive. (I've read it's easier to set up than Linux KVM and maybe just as good as VMware.) [22:53] how do i add a name to the front, been a while sinc ei was on here [22:53] awesome_guest: #hardware? [22:53] slooksterpsv: how big are the files? [22:53] th0r: thanks [22:53] newkno: I've got experience with virtual PC's and i can tell you it is MUCH easier. [22:53] hey guys, is there a way to force a login to a specific user from the console? I know i can do it in the GUI/GDM, but I have a need to force a login from the console? [22:53] 9-20GB [22:54] bemis: see http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484385 does that help? [22:54] ectospasm: sorry +x my bad [22:54] NachOz: Thanks. [22:54] no problema. [22:54] guntbert, not really - trying to do initial install - so no /etc/ to mangle files in [22:54] slooksterpsv: that's gonna take a while, depending on the speed of your disk [22:54] slooksterpsv: and I have the same problem [22:54] how do i add a target to my chat messages, i forget >.< [22:55] so is anyone in here familiar with setting up a home server usin ubuntu? i'm not really familiar with it at all and i dont know where else to ask xD [22:55] !tab | Eyes_Only [22:55] Eyes_Only: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:55] !who | Eyes_Only [22:55] Eyes_Only: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:55] NachOz: I have 1.5 GB of RAM. I notice that the Ubuntu installer sets up an 8GB swap partition, which seems like overkill. There must be a way to tweak such settings. [22:55] ectospasm: hmmm... ok... I was hoping maybe NTFS but then again virtualbox when installing vms causes it too so I dunno, maybe just wait till maverik meerkat comes out [22:55] aeon-ltd: ah thanks [22:55] bemis: I see - as is stated there fb=false seem to work no more .... then I cannot help, sorry [22:56] slooksterpsv: heavy disk I/O will always slow your computer down. [22:56] ectospasm: it gets bad to where I can't move the mouse, like in the old days of Windows 98 lol [22:56] slooksterpsv: my trouble is, every so often, I get heavy disk I/O, and I can't figure out what is doing it [22:56] newkno: yeah. you can lower the install size i believe. and also, an 8gb partition has nothing to do with ram. and if you'r running in a VHD on VIrtualBox, it really doesnt matter what it's doing. it doesnt partition the actual harddrive. [22:56] newkno: 8GB of swaps?? wasted! [22:56] slooksterpsv: maybe look into a better IDE/SATA controller (or get SCSI) [22:56] unimatrix some packages in 64 bit can be found in rpm format, and there is a utiity called rpmtodeb [22:57] ectospasm: its sata, on a laptop, gateway nv53 - running mint 9 64-bit; I think it's mint cause I don't remember having this issue in ubuntu [22:57] its still throwing bash: ./adb: No such file or directory [22:57] Hi, I'm kinda new to ubuntu, how would I go about installing drivers for my USB wireless adapter? I won't be able to access the internet on there otherwise... [22:57] kind of frustrating to not be able to install the LTS or the beta [22:57] opheron they can be found in deb format jus as easily, the problem is you can't install them without overriding the already-installed 64bit ones [22:57] slooksterpsv: I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to Lucid [22:57] Eyes_Only: are you sure it is giving that error for adb and not for something adb is calling? [22:58] slooksterpsv: and I can't quantify it properly, so I can't file a bug [22:58] bodwick: where can I find pastebin? [22:58] ectospasm: really? wow, I know mint doesn't get all the latest updates like Ubuntu, where Ubuntu gets "safe" updates - maybe I'll reformat to ubuntu and see if I can replicate the issue [22:58] maybe compilling in a diferent directory you know in the classic mode [22:58] !paste | VintageRitz [22:58] hmmm [22:58] VintageRitz: 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. [22:58] yes [22:58] jpds: thanks. [22:58] ectospasm: lucid is when ext4 came out, but it installed ext3 by default [22:58] th0r: adb will throw a syntax list with no parameters [22:59] hi [22:59] is there any way to switch window by using tab+Ctrl without using compiz? [22:59] slooksterpsv: I'm running EXT4 [22:59] lucid uses ext4 by default.. only keeps ext3 when upgrading [22:59] bubuzzz: alt+tab [22:59] yup [22:59] mark0307 you need a tool called ndiswrapper [22:59] i meant alt+tab [22:59] even with the proper parameters it throws the same message, its as if ubuntu refuses to acknowledge the executable is there [22:59] slooksterpsv: I thought I had narrowed it down to Ubuntu One syncdaemon, but turning that off didn't totally eliminate the problem. [22:59] is there any way to do so withouth compiz [23:00] oh I thought ext3 was the default, my default installs on lucid always came out ext3 - I had to reformat a couple of times to get ext4 [23:00] Mark0307: what wifi chip does the adapter has? [23:00] bubuzzz, as long as you're running a window manager you can typically do it - are you running metacity? [23:00] Opheron, where would I get that..? [23:00] turn off compiz most of the time coz i dont like the effect much [23:00] Eyes_Only: what is the full command line you're running, and what is the full error you're using? Use pastebin if you have to! [23:00] emerald currently [23:00] s/using/getting/ [23:00] its only a couple lines [23:00] Mark0307: « lsusb » in a terminal should give a clue [23:00] !emerald [23:00] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [23:01] hello people [23:01] mark0307 from synaptic or maybe you have installed [23:01] bubuzzz: You can leave compiz enabled and just disable the effects you don't like [23:01] sefiroth: hi, was sephiroth taken as a nick? [23:01] * bemis likes metacity and/or sawfish [23:01] I'm running Ok, opheron...

[23:04] Nach0z: not exactly [23:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/491829/ [23:04] ubuntu is linux, not unix [23:04] i know [23:04] Nach0z: UNIX like [23:04] Nach0z: UNIX LIKE [23:04] sefiroth: nope linux is not unix [23:04] :D [23:04] Nach0z: GNU/Linux is GNU's Not Unix/Linux [23:04] not understand [23:04] Nach0z: why the question? [23:04] (oh, is it my turn?) Nach0z: UNIX-like. [23:05] Eyes_Only: can you pastebin 'ls -l' [23:05] Nach0z: I don't know how you can say that the size of the swap partition has nothing to do with RAM. If the size of the swap partition is a lot bigger than that of RAM, you can end up doing a lot of thrashing, unless a lot of what's sitting in swap is rarely used. [23:05] sefiroth: originally linux = linux is not unix [23:05] I have all multimedia keys on my keyboard working!! And I did nothing to make them work!!! I think Ubuntu isn't linux anymore [23:05] !ot [23:05] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:05] Eyes_Only: please paste the output of ls -al [23:06] is there a way to set Ubuntu's Terminal to Automatically copy text you select with the mouse? [23:06] Eyes_Only: paste the full command you're running, plus its output [23:06] Eyes_Only: including error message [23:06] pwrcycle: it does that already (in all of X) [23:06] newkno: aight then, i have no idea. i'm not entirely sure how swap works, but i do know that i've got a computer running 1 Gb ram with a 10 Gb swap area, and VERY little decrease in performance. [23:06] pwrcycle: should be doing it already. that's a Xwindows thing works across all apps [23:06] ectospasm: that is the error message, bash is refusing to run the executable [23:06] not working for me, where is the setting? [23:06] pwrcycle: you use middle click to paste or shift-insert if you want a keyboard shortcut [23:06] Eyes_Only: you're refusing to listen. Paste the full command, and error, please. [23:07] Nach0z: too much swap will not hurt anything [23:07] jrib: i can copy and past fine, it just doesn't copy automatically [23:07] Eyes_Only: you've said it yourself, you don't know how to do bash, and the exact error message can give clues as to what's going wrong. [23:07] Nach0z: newkno: swap size (shouldn't) ever slow down anything. USING swap will, but that is caused by using too much memory, not by having more swap. [23:07] yoyoned: Nach0z it will hust if you ever enter a "swap storm" [23:07] pwrcycle: did you see what I said? [23:07] ok then. thanks guys [23:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/491832/ [23:08] Eyes_Only: that was what guntbert was looking for, not what I was looking for [23:08] Nach0z: You won't notice a performance decrease unless you've filled up RAM and have multiples of its size sitting in swap having to be actively brought in. having to transfer stuff into and out of swap is called "thrashing," and it's a bad thing, since it forces long waits. [23:08] newkno: aight. again i dunno what swap is supposed to do really. [23:08] ectospasm: what exactly do you want me to paste? there is no more output from that command [23:08] Eyes_Only: is adb a binary or can you cat it to read it? If it is a bash script make sure it starts with #!/biin/sh [23:08] jrib: ah, i see [23:09] pwrcycle: yeah, there are two clipboards [23:09] th0r: its a binary [23:09] I need help with my media player. I can not put in dvds and play them because I receive an error. [23:09] Eyes_Only: select the entire command, plus error message! How hard is that? [23:09] eblume - please see my note to NachOz. I know all this stuff (I have a CS degree :) ). [23:09] Nach0z: a short explanation is that swap is 'virtual memory', a place where your computer can 'fake' having more RAM in case it runs out of memory. Otherwise, running out of memory would cause a crash, possibly a very big crash. [23:09] Eyes_Only: essentially, does the error start with "bash: adb:..." or "adb:..."? [23:09] ectospasm: (idea) - maybe abd is a script and some command inside errs out... [23:09] The truth is abit more complex. [23:09] eblume: so page file memory in Windows. [23:09] jrib: what is the keyboard combo = to middle click? [23:09] guntbert: my point exactly [23:10] Loshki: hmmm, split seems to be taking forever, but hopefully it's working :) [23:10] pwrcycle: there isn't one, but if you want to paste, use shift-insert [23:10] ectospasm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/491833/ [23:10] i told you, there is no more output [23:10] jrib: shift-insert != middle click for me [23:11] jrib: shift-insert=ctrl-v [23:11] Anyway, the thing I really want to talk about is my current situation - I've lost the use of the bootloader on the internal drive on my laptop. The stupid Kubuntu installer wrote GRUB there without asking when it was installing onto an external drive. [23:11] ectospasm: good catch! [23:11] jrib: and what do you do on a notebook with no middle key? [23:11] I am sorry. I accidentally logged off...did anyone answer me? [23:11] ping (room got silent) [23:11] pwrcycle: you mean it pastes the other clipboard? maybe check your application's settings. Personally, I use shift-insert [23:11] Eyes_Only: devices doesn't exist [23:11] eblume: well, from me anyway, thanks. I've been wondering what swap was. [23:11] edoceo: from your pastbins adb is not a directory [23:11] justine777w: no, what's the error? [23:11] pwrcycle: but you can also have X emulate middle clicks by pressing left and right at the same time [23:11] ectospasm: devices does exist, its the syntax of adb [23:12] !dvd | justine777w [23:12] justine777w: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:12] netsplit?

[23:12] ShrekLappy: watch and learn, young padewon [23:12] My most immediate need is to get a working loader into the MBR of the laptop's internal drive. [23:13] gnea: that i have to download codecs...I tried to do that and it did not work [23:13] guntbert: android sdk [23:13] I wrote up the problem at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/124863 [23:13] newkno: i take it you installed 10.04 not 10.04.1, since the default grub location was changed for 10.04.1 when using an external drive. [23:13] lol @ Gnea [23:13] justine777w: it's possible it's not decrypting the dvd [23:13] Yes 10.04. [23:13] Eyes_Only: no, please in CLI type: file adb [23:14] thune3: It seems that the installer wrote GRUB onto both devices. [23:14] gnea: I will check, but it seems to do that to all of the dvds i put in [23:14] guntbert: one moment [23:14] Gnea, referencing a site that has all the info for the question is more of a jedi move imo [23:14] justine777w: make sure your libdvdread is up to date [23:14] guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/491834/ [23:14] gnea: how do i do that? [23:14] newkno: use a windows install disk to restore windows bootloader [23:14] newkno: is the overwritten MBR on internal drive supposed to be grub or windows? [23:15] newkno: boot into recovery console use « fixmbr » [23:15] justine777w, read what ubottu said to you, the first link has help for dvd's [23:15] justine777w: update your system [23:15] Gnea, if it was never installed updating the system will not fix the issue [23:15] ShrekLappy: not every problem can be solved simply by the docs. please stop that, I got this. [23:15] if i remember correctly ubuntu doesnt include it out of the box [23:15] unless that has changed [23:15] gnea: i am not quite sure what you are talking about [23:15] thune3: It started out being a Win7 bootloader, but without asking, the Ubuntu installer scribbled GRUB on top of it - as well as to the backup sector. [23:15] newkno: why you did not installed ubuntu in a Vbox running in windows? [23:15] hey can anyone on here help me with selecting a program for making avi files into iso files on linux or into a dvd for my dvd player besides the program Devede [23:15] shreklappy: i am reading that now [23:15] justine777w: are you familiar with the apt-get or aptitude commands/ [23:16] gnea: i know apt-get [23:16] justine777w: ok, so just suto apt-get update & dist-upgrade [23:16] er, sudo [23:16] a dist upgrade for dvd's not playing [23:16] i woudl not do that [23:16] don't care what you'd do [23:16] dude, thats ridiculous [23:16] skreklappy: how would i do that? [23:16] if you can't be helpful, then don't talk [23:17] erUSUL: It was because I was only researching VirtualBox at that time - I just wanted to start by installing Ubuntu, since what I had read about VBox led me to think I'd have to start there. [23:17] dude, you are going to put them through all that cuz a dvd wont play? this insane. read the docs, installed the proper package and go on with your life [23:17] newkno: there is a section where the installer shows you the location where grub will be installed, and allows you to change it. But the default is the primary drive (for 10.04). erUSUL's instructions should help you restore. [23:17] !attitude | ShrekLappy [23:17] ShrekLappy: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [23:17] ShrekLappy: Gnea: This is a support channel, not an argument channel, if you wish to argue go elsewhere [23:17] needlez__: http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html [23:18] Eyes_Only: that's enough. [23:18] sup guys [23:18] Hi! [23:18] thune3: I must have missed erUSUL's instructions - this channel is too busy to keep up! :) [23:18] gnea: okay i did all that. it says 0 for everything [23:18] justine777w: so nothing was upgraded? [23:18] Eyes_Only: strange - it is a binary file, not a script, but the error looks like one from a script, I give up - sorry [23:19] justine777w, sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 [23:19] gnea: no apparently not according to the outcome [23:19] guntbert: thus is the story of my life [23:19] justine777w: do you want 2 people helping you or just one? I can leave... [23:19] yoyoned i already have devede, i just have an issue with devede cuz it fails to use all my computers cores even on multicore function, thats why im trying to find something a little better or nicer like convertxtodvd which only exists on windows [23:19] I've timidity installed, but midi output isn't producing sound. Ideas for troubleshooting? And how can I check that timidity is working properly? [23:19] erUSUL & thune3: I don't have a Windoze install disk. It's a new laptop (HP/Compaq), and didn't come with any disks. :-( [23:20] gnea: i do not mind, but i just want it to be able to work. I appreciate all the help I can get. [23:20] justine777w: no problem, I could tell that just a simple RTFM wouldn't do the trick, so okay [23:20] erUSUL & thune3: I don't really need the original loader - I'd settle for GRUB, but it has to be able to know about the systems that can be booted into. [23:20] newkno: found this http://robert.penz.name/221/mini-howto-restore-windows-mbrbootloader-with-linux/ [23:20] skreklappy: it says that it is already the newest version [23:20] isis anyone here familiar with Apache in Ubuntu? [23:20] Eyes_Only: maybe you can get the developers of adb to tell you what that output means - because when you try to exect [23:20] erUSUL - does it depend upon having a Win disk? [23:20] gnea: what would you recommend? [23:20] justine777w: check out /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/ [23:20] Eyes_Only: maybe you can get the developers of adb to tell you what that output means - because when you try to execute a nonexisting file you get a different error [23:20] justine777w: there should be a file there... [23:21] newkno: no; are instructions to do it from a linux system [23:21] gnea: how would i go about doing that? [23:21] I found a "TestDisk" util, but it depends on there being a good backup in the alternate boot sector. [23:21] justine777w: do you know how to use cd and ls/ [23:21] erUSUL: I'll take a look. Tnx. [23:21] also does anyone know how to get a dell v505 printer to work on ubuntu 10.10 ? [23:21] no apache people in here? trying to set up a server in Ubuntu.... [23:21] gnea: kind of. I have done it once before but I am not sure if I remember all the steps [23:22] guntbert: i know its an executable, but its as if the portion of bash that executes things sits there and says "NO U!". and its a google application. [23:22] justine777w, from what im reading you may need to do: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [23:22] and possibly reboot [23:22] ok im out then, i bet that made Gnea mad [23:22] timidity is running, but I'm not getting midi output. Any ideas? [23:22] justine777w: well, cd is just short for 'change directory' , so cd /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/ [23:22] Nach0z, What problems do you face ? [23:23] egsome: I have little experience in ubuntu, to start with. and although apache is in the distro download manager thingy, i have NO idea how to set it up. [23:23] gnea: okay now what? [23:23] justine777w: now use ls [23:23] !lamp | Nach0z [23:23] Nach0z: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [23:23] Nach0z, `sudo apt-get install apache2` is enough [23:23] Eyes_Only: no, it gets executed alright - if you type ./xxy you get a slightly different error - but then something goes wrong [23:23] justine777w: it's like dir - shows files [23:23] egsome: uh, where do i put that :| [23:23] Nach0z, And if you need, you can also `sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server php5-mysql` ans so on .. [23:23] gnea: do you want me to show you the outcome? [23:24] what is the eq of middle button, on a two button mouse? [23:24] Nach0z, In the terminal ( Applications menu > Accessories > Terminal ) [23:24] ... ah. ok. thanks. brb [23:24] pwrcycle: both buttons at the same time [23:24] justine777w: actually, we're just looking for one file, one that a previous noob attempted to point out by assuming you knew what you were doing [23:24] pwrcycle: CTRL+Click [23:24] Nach0z, OK [23:24] gnea: and what file would that be? [23:24] erUSUL: LorgonJortle thnx [23:25] justine777w: ought to be a shell script, should end with .sh [23:25] gnea: i dont see anything like that. [23:25] howdy [23:25] !noob > Gnea [23:25] Gnea, please see my private message [23:25] gnea: sorry yes i do.. it says install-css.sh [23:25] any idea why timidity is running, but I'd no midi output? [23:26] guntbert: oh, yeah, heh, sorry [23:26] erUSUL: I'm rather scared of using such a procedure. There are too many unknowns involved. I'd prefer to just install GRUB, but it needs some additional files that define the systems that are available, and their locations. [23:26] egsome: could you elaborate on that last one a bit please? also, if we need to goto PM i can do that, the channel seems a bit clogged... [23:26] newkno: the files are in the ubuntu install ... [23:26] guntbert: gets a bit annoying when some people assume that I don't know what I'm talking about [23:26] egsome: could you elaborate on that last one a bit please? also, if we need to goto PM i can do that, the channel seems a bit clogged... [23:26] .... i think my IRC is brokle [23:27] erUSUL: I don't know where those GRUB files would get written on an NTFS file system - do you? [23:27] i will make a post in the forums and lurk around the android development community for help, ttyl [23:27] nice new security mechanism :) [23:27] justine777w: okay, you should be able to run it like this: sudo ./install-css.sh [23:27] oh. nevermind. it just wasnt scrolling down... [23:27] i need a image viewer (transition effects nice, but not required) for a slideshow.. I want to loop thru a set of images non-stop 24x7.. is there a viewer that will do this? I have been googling but havnt come across anything yet.. the screensaver that comes with gnome wont work as i cant specify the duration of each image.. dont need pan/zoom etc etc.. [23:27] newkno: the files where not written to the windows partition. they are in the ubuntu install in the external disk [23:28] gnea: okay i ran it and i think it installed it... [23:28] I have been trying all day to fix this and nobody seems to help me.. I cannot use the mouse or anything else to see the windows on the window switcher on the taskbar. I see the email icon on desktop 2 but when trying to left click on it, the desktop doesn't switch.. Can someone help me Using 10.4 gnome [23:28] jsidhu: gthumb? [23:28] erUSUL: I don't want to have to have the external disk plugged in in order to boot into Windoze. [23:28] justine777w: okay, try to play a dvd now [23:28] Nach0z, What will you use Apache web server for ? [23:28] anybody know what might make the 10.04 installer ridiculously slow? from the time i clicked next after choosing my time zone to when it presented the next screen took 12 minutes...on a core 2 duo w/ 4GB ram...then i chose my keyboard and l'm still waiting for the next screen and it's been ten minutes so far [23:28] it ran fine with 9.10 [23:28] egsome: i want to actually set up my own server at my house here. [23:28] Nach0z, If you need only to offer HTML and JavaScript pages ( Static Website ), So installing `apache2` is enough [23:29] newkno: well; i gave you two options already to fix the issue... [23:29] hcook I would reboot the sys after a min to reset [23:29] egsome: i'm also gonna need PHP. and probably CSS and whatever else rolls in with that stuff. [23:29] Nach0z, If you need dynamic websites ( PHP & MySQL ), You'd need also `php5 & mysql-server & php5-mysql` [23:29] where can I find instructions for installing restricted extras and other stuff in 64-bit v or Ubuntu? [23:29] gnea: that seemed to work just fine. [23:29] justine777w: enjoy :) [23:29] Nach0z, So, do `sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server php5-mysql` [23:29] anyone got any ideas on how to install a v505 dell printer in linux ubuntu 10.10?? the site doesnt have drivers past 8.04 and doesnt support 64bit systems which i run... any help would be very helpful [23:29] egsome: just standard coding pages. also i'm trying to double it as an IRC server on another port, so i'll have to keep looking in that... [23:29] mkcpys: it is the same in all versions of ubuntu [23:29] erUSUL: I just want a working bootloader that at least lets me boot into Windoze like I could prior to installing Ubuntu onto the external drive. But now that I've lost the Windoze loader, rather than trying to get it back, I might as well install GRUB, but I don't know how to do it safely. [23:29] egsome: aight thanks then. [23:30] Nach0z, You're welcome [23:30] itsjustme: well last time i thought it was hung on the time zone so i rebooted after about ten minutes...same result [23:30] mkcpys google How to install restricted extras in unbuntu [23:30] Can someone tell me why is the tor package gone? [23:30] hcook weird to have a recent sys and that happen. sorry don't know. [23:31] Where are iptables rules usually source on startup? I have some rules loading somewhere but I forgot how to edit them. [23:31] quidnunc: no where. [23:31] newkno: i do not know how to install grub in a windows machine sorry [23:31] jrib: Pardon? [23:32] quidnunc: iptables are not stored anywhere by default [23:32] ^rules [23:32] jrib: Yes but I stored them somehow to be loaded at boot. I can't remember where. What are the standard methods of loading iptables rules? [23:33] erUSUL: I'd like to get myself into a situation where I can (preferably without having to re-partition the internal drive, which is also scary) boot into either Linux or Windoze. VirtualBox would be very nice also. I'd really like to be able to use the external drive mainly for backups and to store big files. I don't want to have to haul it around with the laptop. However, I might as well install a working system on [23:33] it as well, just in case. [23:33] quidnunc: now, if you used ufw or firestarter, they'll start by default. And there's a handful of ways you could have decided to store them. If you read ubottu's documentation on iptables' then maybe rereading it will jog your memory [23:33] !iptables > quidnunc [23:33] quidnunc, please see my private message [23:33] jrib: No I used the command line. [23:34] quidnunc: great, that means you didn't use firestart. That still means you could have used ufw or followed ubottu's instructions on iptables [23:36] anyone know if it's possible to pipe standard input to a command in a function in bash? [23:36] newkno: i nderstand what you want. and i already told you two ways of restoring windows bootloader. i do not have any other advice [23:36] itsjustme - No offense, but I did that. You would be surprised at how difficult it is to find instructions for 64-bit version. [23:37] velociostrich: #bash though you're phrasing that in a strange way [23:37] jrib: I'll try asking there then [23:37] erUSUL - Installing restricted extras repo and package is the same, but not other issues, like flash. [23:37] mkcpys: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:37] mkcpys: flash is installed with the ubuntu-restricted-extras package in 64 bits ubuntu [23:37] erUSUL - Yeah, i've done that. I still can't play flash. [23:37] mkcpys: just like java plugin [23:38] erUSUL: I don't mean to be difficult. Actually, GRUB is already installed into the MBR of the internal drive. If it actually worked, I'd be happy. I think it needs those additional files, which it doesn't know where to look for. [23:38] hello, I am runing ubuntu 10.04 and I have problem with some application that I launch but do not show. Ex: Art Manager, and now Kgpg. When I launch the application from the menu, the process is actually created, but the application windows doesn't show... [23:39] newkno: as i previously said 1) those files are in the ubuntu partition. 2) i do not know how to transfer ( or if it is even possible) them to the windows partition and make grub work from them [23:39] erUSUL: I'm just afraid of the procedure indicated at the page you referred me to, since it appears to be something you just found, not something you've actually used. [23:39] erUSUL Well, it may not be related, but firefox is asking me to install adobe flash player, swfdec swf player, and or Gnash SWF player. So I guess that's just for firefox then? [23:39] newkno, you may have to reinstall grub...not sure since I just got here but if thatis the case you may want to go here http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide and read first [23:39] newkno: yes; i've never used those methods. [23:39] erUSUL - thanks for setting my straight on the 64-bit restricted extras. I didn't know that. [23:39] How do I get ubottu help on crontab? [23:39] mkcpys: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [23:40] newkno, also you may want to join #grub channel as well [23:40] coz: Thanks. I'll check it out. But, as I was just telling erUSUL, GRUB is not something that Windoze can use, afaik, since there are other files required - or at least one ("menu.lst?") that defines the systems that can be booted and where they live. [23:41] So installing flash is a different step from installing restricted extras? Will that flashplugin-nonfree automatically install a 64bit version? [23:41] newkno, no menu.lst in grub2 check the wiki [23:41] erUSUL - I went ahead and did it, and it appears to have installed amd64.dev.... so that's goode. [23:41] I'm having trouble getting cron to work. My crontab entry is "* * * * * /bin/ls" Doesn't work. Do I need to do something else? [23:41] newkno, well menu.list is no longer there... it is now /etc/default/grub [23:41] excuse me everyone but can you help me with this? -> i thought it would be nice to e.g. 1) search for all e.g. PNG-files on some of my hard-disk's folders and 2) put them all in one folder ... is there a way to do this with some commands so that i don't have to click through every folder on my hard disk? [23:42] newkno, and after editing that you need to run sudo update-grub before reboot [23:42] newkno, and that is assuming you have lucid installed with grub2 [23:42] stercor: what did yo expect to happen ? [23:42] erUSUL -- working. thanks a lot. I appreciate it. [23:42] stercor: cron will send you a mail with the ouput of ls ( not sure in which dir ) [23:42] erUSUL: a file listing... Just to see it work. [23:43] mkcpys: no problem [23:43] coz: To access those files, Win would have to be able to read a Linux f.s. or they would have to be on the NTFS partition. I know there's a Windoze version of GRUB. maybe that's what i need - or else take the machine to the store where I got it and let them help me - surely they have an original disk - yes, maybe the procedure erUSUL offered, which uses "dd" would work also, but I find it scary, since I'm afraid of writ [23:43] ing beyond the MBR area. [23:43] stercor: then redirect the listing to a temp file [23:43] stercor: e.g. /bin/ls > /tmp/file_listing [23:43] I don't like to keep asking but I still haven't gotten any help I have been trying all day to fix this and nobody seems to help me.. I cannot use the mouse or anything else to see the windows on the window switcher on the taskbar. I see the email icon on desktop 2 but when trying to left click on it, the desktop doesn't switch..

[23:46] erURUL -- I really do appreciate it because last time I installed Ubuntu 9.04 in 64-bit it took me days to get the right stuff installed for flash to work properly. [23:46] newkno, are you sure the grub was not installed to sda? [23:47] i like gnomebaker a lot better than brasero [23:47] doctorZeus, that is good sense... brasero often has issues especially burning ISO images [23:47] cool ... gnomebaker i will check that one out .... anyone else have a prefrence ? === yamba is now known as Yamba|ZzZ [23:48] coz_: Didn't say it wasn't. The installer apparently wrote GRUB to BOTH devicesl. :-( [23:48] jgcampbell300, no gnomebaker for gnoem and k3b for kde however there are also issues with k3b not burning because you dont have permissions which can be remedied but if I have to jump through too many hoops to get moving I generally remove the application [23:49] well im off to read up on gnomebaker ... thanks for the info [23:49] newkno, well ...to be honest... I have not studied enough of grub2 's specifications and options to really guide anyone well enough... which is why I suggested the #grub channel ...i dont know when the busy time is in that channel however [23:51] newkno, out of curiosity...why not install ubuntu on the main drive and use virtual box to run windows from there? leaver the usb flash driver out of the equation ? [23:52] leave not "leaver" duh [23:52] coz_: would it be drive not driver aswell?
