[00:01] Kendalja, unetbootin [00:01] unetbootin.sourceforge.net for windows, in the repos for ubuntu [00:01] I am in windows 7 [00:01] Kendalja, see above [00:02] I used unetbootin [00:02] but got an error [00:02] then md5 the iso [00:02] and 'reburn' [00:02] no an error when I booted [00:02] :P [00:02] what error? [00:02] I know. md5 it [00:03] I will run again and see [00:03] Kendalja: I've not used unetbootin (I've only done it from Linux) but if it gives an option to store persistent data, turn it off [00:04] ok === Eleph is now known as Kendalja1 [00:04] on other machine here [00:04] so when it finishes I can still talk [00:04] :P [00:06] finishing up now going to reboot [00:08] says default when I first boot [00:08] then I get "no init found. Try passing init = bootarg. [00:08] " [00:08] Kendalja1: Does it say anything above that? [00:08] and Inope [00:09] nope [00:09] BusyBox v1.15.3 [00:09] I am at a prompt [00:10] think I might have it... [00:10] or not [00:10] lol [00:10] Kendalja1, what file system did you choose [00:10] sounds like something related to etiher your iso download or the unetbootin thing, I've had a 32bit 10.10 beta usb thumb work OK for me today but that was written from Maverick [00:10] ah [00:11] the alternate cd did that for me as well [00:11] choosing btrfs [00:11] should I redownload the netbook iso? [00:11] md5 it [00:13] hmmm [00:13] in the dropdown for unetbootin there is no option for 10.10 [00:13] Daily_Live? [00:18] ?? [00:19] Which iso did you download? [00:19] ubuntu-10.10-beta-netbook-i386 [00:20] sounds reasonable (not tried netbook myself but still) [00:20] !md5 [00:20] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:22] md5 checks out [00:22] I will try again and if not then I will download again.... [00:25] if md5sum says it's right it's right [00:25] hmmm [00:25] rebooting again [00:26] when I boot to usb I get two options [00:26] Default and ...back [00:26] not sure what that is [00:27] wtf [00:28] I will re d/l === Kendalja1 is now known as Kendalja [00:32] I will try 10.04 instead [00:32] instead of beta [00:32] :P [00:51] Has anybody noticed merkat significatively slower than Lucid on netbooks? [00:51] is it debugging suymbols? or simply nos being larger? [00:51] someone before was having speed issues (not sure if it was netbooks) [00:51] Netbook UI 3d, Netbook UI 2d and kde for netbooks are all slower, larger. [00:51] what type of thing? [00:52] let's see my cpu [00:52] Ok both cores are working, and speed's not reduced so it's not that [00:54] An offside comment. how do I change daemons run in each initlevel with upstart? [00:55] is there method to remove the "sync with Ubuntu One' in the nautilus folder views? [01:24] yeah [01:24] hide ribbons? [01:25] okay thanks [01:25] sorry for long response lol [01:26] just installed it, sorry for the laziness in not searching it out myself [01:26] i`m not booted in it at the mo.. just something about ribbons... [01:26] hey [01:27] okay,will research. much appreciated duffydack [01:27] Kendalja, hi [01:27] trying to install ubuntu [01:27] :P [01:28] Kendalja, unetbootin still failing? [01:29] well I am downloading 10.04 [01:29] gujin ftw [01:29] dl wont finish [01:29] says 700mb of 700mb [01:29] but sill going [01:30] in browser? [01:30] fingers crossed [01:30] :P [01:30] yeah [01:30] making it now [01:30] bootable flash drive [01:31] I skip this part and just cat the iso across.. its just easier when working with changeable isos all the time [01:31] ah [01:32] I trust cat iso more than unetbootin or other program. [01:33] Kendalja, did you md5sum the iso first? [01:34] yep [01:34] trying again now [01:34] rebooting [01:34] :P [01:35] got it! [01:35] :P [01:35] loading live version now off usb [01:35] should run on a netbook ok eh? [01:35] sure [01:37] Kendalja, sure. if 10.04 hop back to #ubuntu for support though, please [01:38] this is for 10.10? [01:38] yep [01:38] thus the +1 [01:38] ahh [01:38] :) [01:38] can I upgrade to 10.10 later? [01:39] of course you can [01:39] cool [01:39] thanks for the help thus far guys [01:39] :p [01:39] hehe === BlinkyToon is now known as Don_Miguel [02:15] wtfh happened to the sun java package in 10.10? [02:28] hello... I am running 10.10 desktop on an acer revo (aton cpu, ion gpu) with the nvidia restricted drivers... [02:29] how do I make it so that my gui, mouse, etc... are resitrcted to display :0.1 with out taking down my :0.0 display? [02:29] I basically want one monitor to be the target output of mplayer, with all of my gui on the second monitor [02:30] and while i can do that now... the "second" monitor (:0.0) has all the normal gui trappings, a menu, etc... and my mouse can wonder over to it [02:30] a/24 [02:32] huh? [02:33] Quutar, likely an irssi mistab [02:35] well... i installed 10.10 ... installed the nvidia binary drivers... did a system update with apt-get and then in the nvidia driver gui i enabled the second monitor (not with twin view, each as a seperate display) [02:35] Sir_Brizz, that is normally added to the parter repo upon the actual release instead of during the dev cycle [02:35] okay that makes sense [02:35] I just used the id version for now [02:35] so all that part is working.... now i want to do something "wierd" and don't know how [02:35] lucid* [02:38] basically... i want my user experiance to be limited to one of my two monitors... while the second monitor be the targeted output of mplayer "DISPLAY=:0.0 mplayer file.mp4" === JoshuaP is now known as Guest26579 [02:55] meow? anything... does what I want to do sound possible... i am told by people more knoledgeable about linux that I it is possible, they just don't know how === JMS is now known as JoeMaverickSett === Guest26579 is now known as thatjoshdood [03:22] ah oh I just found that I cannot compile my alsa driver without errors on maverick....ooo I have to look into this one [03:27] coz_: eh? [03:27] coz_: why do you need to compile your alsa driver, anyhow? :) [03:27] crimsun_, well...although pulseaudio now recognizes my card for the first time [03:28] crimsun_, it wont work with games and a few other applications so [03:28] I compile it since there is alsa a mixer specifically for my card in the repositories [03:28] but on maverick it will not compile I will have to try again to see what the errors are exactly [03:29] coz_: sorry, but I'm having problems parsing your previous sentence. [03:29] what does "since there is alsa a mixer" mean? [03:29] coz_: sorry, but I'm having problems parsing your previous sentence. [03:29] what does "since there is alsa a mixer" mean? [03:30] crimsun_, one for echoaudio cards [03:30] where did the samba right click->share in nautilus move to? [03:31] coz_: are you saying it isn't available in l-a-d-m available from https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=maverick ? [03:31] ah, I'll fix that ftbfs [03:31] crimsun_, well I havent tried the ppa [03:32] is it missing for anyone else? [03:32] crimsun_, but I prefer compiling the driver ...it works far better than pulseaudio for me so far anyway [03:33] coz_: mmkay, but that isn't really going to help us fix pulse [if there is something broken with pulse] [03:34] crimsun_, this is true ok I will reinstall at some point...maverick...and go from there [03:38] I havent gone "pro audio" on linux yet anyway so its not really absolutely important but I will eventually and for me.to do that .. I will most likely only want the compiled driver [03:39] coz_, what's an echoaudio card? is it a particularly odious piece of crap or something good or somewhere in between? [03:40] bjsnider, pretty much a pro audio card [03:40] so it's worth all the trouble? [03:40] bjsnider, oh yeah for me it is indeed :) [03:40] bjsnider, http://www.echoaudio.com/ [03:41] bjsnider, they have many newer cards there mine is a layla24 at this point [03:41] and they don't have much linux support at this point? [03:42] they do. [03:42] bjsnider, the drivers are open source I believe [03:42] they are. [03:43] they're in the alsa tree proper and have been for many years. [03:43] if I am running 10.10 desktop in a VirtualBox... how do I get the shared folders to work? [03:46] coz_, maybe if you're creating audio with that card you should use jack instead of puse [03:46] or pulse [03:47] bjsnider, yeah I can also do that ...at this point I am just happy the driver was compiling properly :) I do most of the pro audio on windows but really need to switch over to linux for this [03:47] bjsnider, so that was my concern with the compiling on linus in maverick but I will try again tomorrow to get the errors reported properly [03:48] linux not linus [03:49] you can't do the pro audio on linux? [03:50] bjsnider, yeah I can but I have been using the applications on window so long...I have to take time to learn the linux equivelents ie ardour etc ... a bit of a learning curve [03:51] bjsnider, at this point...there is nothing really important I have to do audio wise... well...I am creating sets of new sounds for ubuntu but not doing any real pieces at this point [03:53] i bet you could learn ardour if you took one weekend and spent every waking hour on it [03:54] bjsnider, yeah you are absolutely right :) with support etc etc I do ... I should take one weekend to work with it [03:55] bjsnider, I will also probably want the low latency kernel at some point [03:56] rt kernel I believe it is labled now [03:56] realtime yeah [03:57] everytime liboobs updates, i read it as lib-boobs [03:57] same here ^^ lol [04:01] how do I disable desktop compositing in ubuntu 10.10 desktop? [04:02] Quutar, for compiz or metacity? [04:03] Quutar, for compiz it is /system/preferences/appearance Visual effects tab choose "None" [04:03] thanks [04:03] Quutar, for metacity open gconf-editor maneuver to /apps/metacity/general and in right pane disable compositing [04:05] it was compiz [04:06] Quutar, cool...why did you disable it?? [04:08] was getting allot of tearing when playign back videos with mplayer and the vdpau video out [04:09] now... i think i see an occasional tear... but i can't be sure... before it was blatant and all the time [04:09] oh ok [04:11] now... i am running only one monitor with ubuntu... the second monitor is disabled... is there anyway I can bring it up so mplayer could use it as a display... but keep my normal gui out of it? [04:12] does that make sense? i want to enable my second monitor... but don't want the gnome gui and the mouse to go onto it [05:42] need info toshiba nb205-210 under 10.04 had 4 minute boot time so I formatted tried 10.10 unr installer keeps freezing unless I tap buttons or mouse and still install fails any ideas? === FireCrotch_ is now known as FireCrotch [06:06] firefox not working, i just upgraded to 10.10 [06:06] :'( [06:07] what do i do? i removed icedtea plugin but it still won't start === nemo_ is now known as nemo [06:32] anyone have any idea why the ubuntu one music store rwont connect [06:42] okay its in folder ubuntuone submenu hide ribbon === wgrant_ is now known as wgrant [07:45] Hi, I have a problem with SCIM and Anthy.

[09:46] hi all [09:47] at the moment adobe-flashplugin is not available in the canonical partner archive, how do I file a bug about this? [09:48] AlanBell: i'd ask in -mout [09:48] er -motu [09:48] the problem it causes is that if you get guided to the adobe site to install flash it tries to use apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$dist-partner [09:48] zetheroo: yes, i do [09:49] thanks popey__ [09:49] ooer [09:49] popey__: I am wondering why the video file size is kinda random and why it takes so long to encode the video? === popey__ is now known as popey [09:50] popey: I recorded 3 videos each different in length ... 20 min vid is 104MB, 14 min vid is 43MB and the 10min vid is 20MB .... this just doesn't seem right to me ... [09:51] zetheroo: depends on the content I guess [09:51] lots of still stuff vs lots of zooming in/out etc [09:51] the more complex the video the bigger the compressed file will be [09:52] popey: no zooming ... all capturing the exact same area and desktop [09:52] audio too? [09:52] yes [09:52] all of them [09:52] popey: just the difference in time and size does not make much sense ... [09:53] popey: but the strangest thing is the amount of time it takes to encode the video ... I recall it being MUCH faster in previous releases [09:53] I recently install Lucid fresh and have never seen it encode this slow [09:54] i wonder if maverick has the new [09:54] improved ogg video encoder [09:55] which is indeed slower but much better [11:29] anyone else experiencing issue where gwibber does not remember the opened streams after a reboot? === zniavre is now known as perceval [12:36] how good is that new ubuntu?

[12:40] mrp: If you consider the last 24 hours as "currently", the answer is: No. [12:47] I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 on my Toshiba Laptop. Seemed like everything went well, but upon reboot it came up to a prompt to enter username and password. I entered it and it brings me to a command prompt. Is there any way to access the desktop at this point? [12:52] AceKing: Sounds like a graphics driver type problem; what graphics card does it have? [12:53] AceKing: If you're not sure then lspci | grep -i vga should give the answer [12:54] hi I have an odd problem with maverick: after rebooting, my PC changes drive numbers, what once was sda is now sdb and vice versa, what can I do to give the drives fixed names? [12:54] man, I'm soooo fuuuu [12:54] right now [12:55] can't get my toshiba to boot from USB [12:55] realburb: sda, sdb etc order hasn't been defined for 3 or 4 versions of ubuntu [12:55] want to do a clean install of MM [12:55] :(((( [12:55] realburb: It does the initialisation in parallel; use uuid's or labels instead of the sd* names [12:55] this shouldn't be happening [12:55] penguin42 mhm can this somehow be combined with mdadm? [12:56] realburb: Yeh, if you give mdadm the disks in /dev/disk/by-uuid then it'll work [12:56] penguin42 thanks Ill try it [12:57] realburb: And blkid can be used to figure out which one is which (as can udisks --enumerate-device-files [13:02] Penquin, sorry I just went to get a cup of coffee.. Let me check [13:02] penguin42 that would be /dev/by-uuid/a67dcb96-a9d2-5c10-9bfe-9c004878ee4b instead of /dev/sda1 right?

[13:14] isn't there a simple metapackage to take care of all TFTP stuff? [13:24] realburb: Yeh something like that [13:24] AceKing: I'm guessing you previously had the fglrx/proprietary drivers installed? [13:25] penguin42, yes [13:26] AceKing: If so, it doesn't yet work on maverick, but the open source driver should be OK except for heavy 3d, first try just moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf out of the way and see if it works, if not then you'll need to remove any of the fglrx packages; you might be able to use the jockey-text command to do that, or failing that remove the packages [13:27] penguin42, Thanks, I'll give it a try [13:49] penguin42 works great now, thanks [13:49] no problem === jtechidna is now known as JontheEchidna [14:19] desktop weirdness on Meerkat :\ [14:20] warnings of not being able to contact gnome-settings-daemon are piling up in ~/.xsession-errors [14:21] plus plenty of these: "(mutter:30120): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-CRITICAL **: id_prop_update: assertion `priv->root != NULL' failed" [14:28] http://www.netboot.me/257001 eheh [14:30] hmm Maverick!=10.04 [14:31] ops [14:31] * BUGabundo tries to edit [14:31] darn copy paste [14:31] there [14:31] fixed [14:31] thanks penguin42 [14:32] np [14:34] seems to me this is one of the nicest way to install and test stuff [14:35] only one media (one netbootme iso) and then just point to what ever conf you want [14:35] even your own [14:37] jpds: what's the fastest oficial mirror close to portugal? [14:37] you said the other day pt.ubuntu was limited [14:41] hi all [14:41] anyone got STA broadcom wifi drivers? [14:42] maverick doesnt install it by default [14:50] the only one that installs and works for me. [14:50] the strange thing is, that driver is on the install cd [14:50] pool/main [14:50] both are [14:51] wondering why it doesnt install by default [14:51] because you have a choice between b43 and sta [14:51] and sta is non-free [14:52] ic [14:52] all the rest works fine for me on maverick [14:52] system halt@ 4sec [14:53] its really fast [14:53] on SSD drive [14:54] penguin42, I had to boot in using a 10.04 Live CD. I renamed the xorg.conf file and restarted my laptop. Everything appeared a lot smaller visually, but I still came to the prompt for my username and password. Same thing, went to the command prompt. I rebooted back into 10.04 and tried using "jockey-text" but I'm getting nowhere with that. If I'm in Live CD, how do I remove the fglrx packages? [14:54] why did you go to the live cd ? [14:55] penguin42, so I could rename the .conf file [14:55] what the hotkey to enter grub at boot on maverick? [14:55] AceKing: But I thought you said you could log in on the installed version at the text prompt? [14:55] lotuspsychje: hold the shift key [14:55] lotuspsychje: Shift [14:56] tnx [14:56] lotuspsychje: *right* after the bios [14:56] ok tnx alot [14:56] penguin42, It asks for my username and password, when I enter them it brings me to a command prompt and wont go any further [14:57] AceKing: But it gives you a $ prompt ? and you can issue normal commands like ls etc there? [14:57] penguin42, yes [14:58] ok, so you don't need the rescue disk [14:58] AceKing: So lets just check the xorg.conf, at that $ prompt if you do ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf does it say it's not found ? [15:00] penguin42, it says "No such file or directory" [15:00] great [15:00] AceKing: try sudo jocket-text -l [15:00] * penguin42 admits at this point to not having used jockey before and normally doing this with dpkg, but if jockey can be made to work it's probably safer [15:02] penguin42, it says "warning, could not open display warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.warning [15:03] is that all it says?

"/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py57:gtkwarnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.warning) [15:05] AceKing: OK, lets give up on jockey and do it the old-school way - dpkg -l \*fglrx\* [15:07] penguin42, Ok, it brought up a whole bunch of stuff.

[15:13] penguin42, Ok, that just ran pages of stuff for about 5 seconds [15:13] AceKing: Oops, I know why [15:13] AceKing: dpkg -l \*fglrx\* | grep ^ii [15:13] that should only have 2 or 3 lines [15:14] penguin42, I ran the fist one again and I got 3 things with ii [15:15] penguin42, fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4 [15:16] ok, great now do apt-get remove fglrx [15:20] penguin42, Ok, that just completed [15:20] AceKing: OK, reboot and there's a 50/50 chance it might start X [15:22] penguin42, you are a genius!

[16:16] ha using term makes it worse for some reason. Kinda hard to look at the logs for relevant info to file a bug when it hangs while you are trying to use it. [16:22] http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Asus <- i'm pretty sure i have xonar dx, but alsamixer says "AV200" - why's that? [16:24] Machtin: My guess is that a Xonar DS is a board/motherboard/marketing name for somethign which nhas an AV200 chip on wired in a particular way [16:24] sorry, DX [16:24] hmm the other interesting part I don't think there was any updates to xserver-xorg-video-intel recently [16:27] penguin42: but, on that alsa-site i posted it says it has a av100-chip, not av200? [16:27] Machtin: Hmm so it does [16:28] Machtin: OK, I don't know the Asus/Xonar stuff, but 1) That page could just be wrong, 2) It's not too unusual for vendors to change stuff and keep the same marketing name [16:28]
