[00:00] ubuntu_: back it up to one of the others first? [00:00] Orkibo, you don;t have now [00:00] or better yet an external drive [00:00] its better to make ghost image of your drive [00:00] I am trying to use a locally mounted .iso image as an extra apt repository, how can I add this in? [00:01] daftykins, st__, I have an external hard drive which I could theoretically use for backups. Would I just need to back up the Ubuntu partition? If so, how? Also, can I non-destructively resize my Lucid partition? [00:01] ubuntu_: well what do you really have on it of any value? [00:01] ubuntu_, you should, but i know nothing of macs partitions. [00:02] how i configure 3g internet in Ubuntu [00:02] ? [00:02] daftykins, I have an apache web server that I actively use, a samba server, lots of stuff in ~, and lots of applications. It has been and will continue to be my main work parition. [00:02] daftykins, Losing data is not an option. [00:03] !3g [00:03] ubuntu_, just sudo tar it to file on external hd [00:03] ubuntu_: technically, as ubuntu is a Linux, you could tar the entire root and back it up, then if things go wrong, do a clean install to the new lower partition size, then restore from the tar [00:03] wich one is the best video chat client like windows messenger? [00:03] st__, What should a Mac partition have to do with resizing an Ubuntu parition? [00:03] valadares: http://www.geekology.co.za/blog/2009/05/configuring-vodafone-3g-modem-on-ubuntu-linux-904-jaunty-jackalope/ [00:04] It's uninstalled. Thanks st__, appreciate it :) [00:04] donvitoman: amsn [00:04] ubuntu_, mac-style partition table i mean [00:04] pls help me chroot to from livecd to sda6 [00:04] !chroot [00:04] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [00:04] daftykins, Okay, how exactly would I go about restoring from the tar? [00:04] ubuntu_, the mac uses a different type of MBR on the disk, so the way the partitions are marked is different [00:04] cityLights: is it a single partition install? [00:04] YES [00:04] ah, he already answered [00:04] demonspork, st__, and you're saying that there's the potential for borking my system, correct? [00:04] ubuntu_: you'll need to backup from livecd too, i'd read into the tar manual page [00:05] there's always the potential for borking when resizing partitions :) [00:05] . [00:05] I get chroot: cannot run command '/bin/bash' : Exec format error [00:05] cityLights, mismatched architetctures [00:05] cityLights: what are you typing? [00:05] hello [00:06] daftykins, Understood, I am actually in the liveCD right now (I don't plan on doing anything though). I can tar the Lucid partition just fine, but how exactly do I restore the new system? [00:06] hmm 64 bit issue [00:06] !hello | unknown [00:06] let me see [00:06] !hi | unknown [00:06] whatt [00:06] hi demon [00:06] when did the hello feature get removed from ubottu [00:06] :( [00:06] demonspork: because people were overusing it [00:06] !botsnack [00:06] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [00:06] ActionParsnip:it's for claro 3g....works? [00:06] !hi | demonspork [00:06] How do I get Xchat to show the people in the current channel? [00:06] :( [00:06] ubuntu_: nuke the partition, format it as EXT3 or 4, extract the tar archive back to it, then fix GRUB2 (assuming it's a GRUB2 setup) [00:07] ThinkWork, by showing the userlist [00:07] valadares: if the device is seen as a usb storage currently then yes [00:07] not hard to just say hi to people by hand. throwing factoids at them was impolite, in my opinion [00:07] daftykins, Okay. Now that I think about this, the trouble of making functional and reliable backups for three different OSs is a little more trouble than it's worth. Thanks for your help though. Oh, and is Lucid Grub2? [00:08] hi [00:08] ubuntu_: it is indeed! [00:08] ubuntu_: depends how valuable your data is ;) [00:08] !hello | sorush20 [00:08] ubuntu_, yes, but I used simple grub just fine [00:08] worth a shot [00:08] just transfered a site to my servr. now i'm getting this in my apache logs and a white screen of death. Trying to get property of non-object in theme.inc [00:08] just wanted to find out what is the recommened ftp server to install on ubuntu. [00:08] gnome [00:08] demonspork, I dont see any areas in preferences or dropdown lists that allows me to "show userlist" [00:08] hi, i first installed win7 on my hard disk and now installed ubuntu on another harddisk. how can i configure grub to let me choose between those two? [00:08] ubuntu_: personally, i'd just get another disk ;) [00:08] back [00:08] ActionParsnip, Well, I would not be a happy camper if the paritions exploded :) [00:08] !grub2 | BadElvis [00:08] BadElvis: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

This is Apple hardware we're talking about.. in order to do that I need a 20 pound suction cup, plyers, a wrench, and a signed autograph of steve jobs :) [00:10] sorush20: choose one based on what you need, ftp is very unsecure, sftp is much more secure. If its just for LAN access thn ftp is fine [00:10] I dont have a settings menu... I have preferences under the edit menu, but that has no interface section...

[00:12] ActionParsnip, ThinkWork, I think it is the default in xchat, but not xchat-gnome. [00:12] I dont have a userlist window, I have a thing to click to show users, but it doesnt stay up [00:12] Yes I am using Xchat-Gnome [00:12] im trying ot set up passenger on ubuntu [00:13] ThinkWork, remove that pos [00:13] but if i install it via gem i cant find the executables [00:13] ubuntu_: i see, I use pidgin personally [00:13] I blame Ubuntu [00:13] ThinkWork, uncircumcised xchat is much better [00:13] lol [00:13] i like irssi [00:14] any music player like winamp [00:14] ?

[00:16] doesnt say [00:16] or specifiy [00:16] tigertv69: pretty sure you can't [00:16] is there anything [00:16] or anyway you can do that [00:16] daftykins, It's an interesting story. I tried a few months after I got the iMac to put the then-current 9.04 on it.. I don't think the thing even booted. (Granted, I couldn't program my way out of a paper bag back then let alone find my away around a linux system). I tried 9.10 and had better luck, and used it for a while, but I stopped because I wasn't capable enough to use it over OS X at the time. A few borks (due to my own experi [00:16] mentation) after Lucid, I stuck around wtih it and set up my currnet triple boot. Lucid works MAGICALLY with my iMac. Literally everything works out of the box.. even wireless works on the liveCD (I'm on it right now)!. Interestingly there is this odd rumor on the net and in ##macosx that Linux can't control the Apple SMC => CPU fry. However I and lots of other people use Linux on their Macs daily so I don't know what's up. To be hon [00:16] est, the reason for the third partition is primarily to put ArchLinux on; I love it in VirtualBox but it's just not the same as if it were baremetal. So yeah, hardware support is excellent, save a problem with fglrx that is in the Lucid repos and has been fixed for a month via Catalyst on the ATI website. [00:16] what is the simplest way to get a list of files except several specified names [00:16] ubuntu_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:16] how can I set up a bot, similar to ubottu, for my channel? [00:17] That was quite a mouthful. [00:17] RJ_F1, chech freenode site [00:17] RJ_F1: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-Up-YourBot-IRC-Bot [00:17] can any one tell me how do i low format my hdd from a live linux cd? [00:17] basically let me give senario: i want to do ftp transfers on my ubuntu server... i have my laptop with mye.. i setup Xming.. and do the X to start the transfers.. working great.. then i need to go out.. i bring my laptop with me.. ... when i come back home i connect back to my server and want the files to still be downloading while i am gone.. so i log back into ssh and then the X app pops... [00:17] ...up or i go back to see its completed its run [00:17] How do I use a mounted disk image with a package repo on it? I only have CLI, no gui [00:17] owner, low format is a myth [00:17] owner: you can echo 0s to the disk to blank it [00:17] st__ i need to rebuilt my sectors....cause i have bad sectors on it [00:18] owner: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda for example [00:18] owner, bad sectors are myth too [00:18] I'm just after installing a .deb that I converted from .rpm with alien, but I can't run it. It's shown in synaptic as installed, but when I run "qjoypad" in the terminal I get "Bash: qjoypad: Command not found" [00:18] owner: if it has bad sectors, chuck it, its bad [00:18] !alien [00:18] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [00:18] ubuntu_: cool :) thanks for that, very interesting [00:18] it's not 1991, the device electronics takes care of that [00:18] Eimhin: extract the deb in your home folder someplace to see what files it makes [00:18] all good stuff is RPM anyway [00:19] mkay [00:19] is what im asking impossible? [00:19] daftykins, Yup :) Thanks again for your help, I gotta run -- it's dinner time! [00:19] can I get help setting up jack, please? [00:19] what means chuck?

You should also !register your nick with Freenode. [00:20] owner: "chuck it" means throw it away [00:20] I get 3 files, "control.tar.gz", "data.tar.gz" and "debian-binary" [00:20] owner: lol [00:20] Eimhin: you can install it using deb via the getdeb ppa [00:20] K I'll try that [00:20] owner, you're just corrupting it right now, wiping your windows 7 and your data [00:20] i wont throw away a 250 gb hdd, cause i dont have money for another [00:21] st__ is no problem , i just want it to delet all things, and make it clean [00:21] owner: its writing 0s the the disk you named. I hope sda is the disk you want to wipe, i only used sda as an example (as I said) [00:21] ActionParsnip i just have 1 partition and want it all deleted :p [00:22] owner: doesn't matter, you still need to set the right disk [00:22] owner: the disk will degrade until your OS simply doesn't boot, if your system can boot USB then you can install to a USB stick or SD card [00:22] ActionParsnip, how abouts do I use it [00:22] the getdeb ppa that is [00:23] i dont have an os on my hdd [00:23] i will instal after this thing finish === nathan is now known as Guest29640 [00:23] How might one export a list of packages installed on the system, for use in restoring from backups?

[01:00] daftykins: some stuff but to be sure i'd like to reset everything to default [01:01] no sound in ubuntu 10.04 in flash videos @aarcane [01:01] uLinux: see if the relevant thing has been put in xorg.conf [01:03] daftykins: I typed 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' [01:03] and it changed the xorg.conf [01:05] How can I log out of an x session (gdm session) on commandline [01:05] uLinux: all that'd do is give you a basic config that uses the nvidia driver. if it's broken something, restore the backup that that created [01:05] sir_tyrion: you could just restart GDM [01:06] daftykins: well everything works fine :P [01:06] sir_tyrion: sudo service gdm stop .. after that pidof gdm to see if anthing is remaining.. [01:06] daftykins: it's just that default xorg.conf was smaller [01:07] Thanks, sudo service gdm restart worked [01:07] daftykins: just checked /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and there's nothing there [01:07] dinky: literally empty? [01:07] sir_tyrion: yep.. restart is another as well as stop/start [01:07] daftykins: yup [01:08] daftykins: how do I configure it? There's another file, webmin.(lotsanumbers).conf that seems to be from the virtual server I tried to add [01:09] hmm [01:09] what's in that? [01:09] Hang on... [01:10] daftykins: [01:10] DocumentRoot "/var/www" [01:10] [01:10] allow from all [01:10] Options +Indexes [01:10] dinky: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:10] [01:11] bbl [01:11] hey guys... i have a problem [01:11] developer chat? [01:11] ? [01:11] Is there a way to expand the area around a window that's used for resizing? I find it extremely difficult to hit that tiny margin. [01:11] anoyne knw? [01:11] jimlovell777: i have the same problem, there've been bugs for ages but no idea personally... [01:11] hey how does one get to their File System folder in Terminal [01:12] siddhion: cd / [01:12] Daftykins: It's something like this: DocumentRoot "/var/www"allow from allOptions +Indexes [01:12] daftykins: I think it's getting worse. It went from hard to seeming twitchy even as of late. [01:12] daftykins, hey, cd / brings me to my home folder [01:12] dinky: lol use pastebin.ubuntu.com [01:12] or just pastebin.com [01:12] siddhion: sounds like you're locked in a chroot [01:13] anyone [01:13] basically let me give senario: i want to do ftp transfers on my ubuntu server... i have my laptop with mye.. i setup Xming.. and do the X to start the transfers.. working great.. then i need to go out.. i bring my laptop with me.. ... when i come back home i connect back to my server and want the files to still be downloading while i am gone.. so i log back into ssh and then the X app pops... [01:13] siddhion: type "pwd" then "cd .." then "pwd" again, the path should change [01:13] daftykins: thanks [01:14] daftykins, pwd says I am in '/' dir. then I do cd .. and pwd again and i still get '/' as my dir [01:14] ah, you are in root then ;) [01:14] siddhion: so "ls" [01:14] you're in the very top of the file system, aka root, aka / [01:15] daftykins, right but I would like to get to 'File System' folder to get to the 'usr' folder [01:15] Sorry folks, noob here at xchat, I've just used pastebin, what do I do next? [01:15] Is there anyway to launch two commands at the same time? I have tried cmd1; cmd2 , but it waits for cmd1 to finish. [01:15] daftykins, just getting back into Ubunutu and I am quite rusty [01:15] nybody? === xuekan is now known as rabbit_kan [01:15] dinky: just paste in the link it gave you [01:16] siddhion: oh i get you, so "cd /usr" [01:16] daftykins: Thanks. Here's what's in the webmin.conf file: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/504226/ [01:16] daftykins, ahh nice [01:17] I have a newb PHP Question: I'm trying to get a website up that relies heavily on php. The scripts save files to a directory so it has to have write permissions. What permissions do I have on the directories running the scripts? [01:17] daftykins, thanks! also do you know of a way I can make it so when I press TAB to autocomplete folder/file name it ignores case-sensativity? [01:17] siddhion: no sorry, good practice to get used to it :) [01:17] dinky: hmm, have you tried restarting apache since you installed webmin? i've never used it before to be honest [01:17] daftykins, ok. thanks [01:18] daftykins: yeah, no luck. [01:18] furryotter: our telepathy is not powerful enough to glean the permissions of directories on your machine [01:18] daftykins: thanks for trying to help, I'll have a go elsewhere. Cheers. [01:18] tensorpudding: lol nice. I mean does the directory have to have the same persmissions as the apache user [01:18] dinky: no problem, gl! i'd imagine that 'site' isn't enabled properly in the config [01:18] doh [01:19] furryotter: if you're using mod_php I think so [01:21] furryotter: it just has to be able to have the apache user able to write to it, it doesn't have to be owned by the apache user [01:21] tensorpudding: Do I have to enable the php mod in my site? [01:22] tensorpudding: the website itself is going to fetch files from another site when they click a button. so I think it's actually apache writing to the directory and not the user himself. [01:23] why is nvidias closed drivers slower in maverick then lucid? [01:23] OK, so I've been fighting this for a bit and have made no progress thus far. I am trying to access a winxp machine from my 10.04 laptop, and access the laptop via the winxp machine, as well as share a printer that is located on the windows computer. I had file sharing working fine before, but it is not currently. What do I need to do to get things functioning properly again? [01:23] furryotter: that's what i mean, the owner of the apache process [01:23] furryotter: i think that's www-data by default [01:23] why do I have problem to create bootable usb with maverick but not lucid? [01:24] DualProxy: [01:24] tensorpudding: you're right! I'm looking at config file and it has user www-data group web [01:24] DualProxy: try cmd1 && cmd2 [01:24] tensorpudding: so the directory would have to have permissions for www-data and web to r/w, correct? [01:24] that hsould run 2 commands at the same time [01:24] Kurdistan: Why do you want to install Maverick? [01:25] Nextop: Same issue, it waits for an exit of 0 [01:25] Ryen I tried it out [01:25] and installed it on usb stick [01:26] I have download lucid iso and others [01:26] both with unetbootin and usb-creator on ubuntu [01:26] no luck [01:26] DualProxy: well you can just run cmd in the background eg: cmd1 &; cmd2 &; (that should run both in the background) [01:26] Nextop: *Solved* (cmd1 &);(cmd2 &) [01:27] furryotter: yeah [01:27] Kurdistan: But my question still remains, why do you want to install Maverick. If Lucid works, then you should be using the most current release. [01:27] :p [01:27] tensorpudding: thank you [01:27] Ryen I am restless [01:28] Kurdistan: Maverick/10.10 support in #ubuntu+1 [01:28] Nextop what?

(this is a macbook pro) [01:31] i tryed to reinstall several times with different methods but somehow ubuntu has data from changes ive made when using the program and it doesn t let program start with original configuration [01:32] SuperMiguel why not in parallels?

[01:33] i have a usb drive that i need to format (right now it is ntfs --or whatever the windows file system is) but ubuntu doesn't recognize it so i can't format it. how can i get ubuntu to see it? [01:34] mount? [01:35] What's available in the repos for document management.. could be local to the pc or web based? [01:36] I have a problem. I decided to open a Chromium window in a second workspace, so I would have one Chromium window in one workspace, and another in workspace 2. However, as soon as I did that, I unchecked the "use system title bar and borders" and after that my top panel and my Docky disappeared. If I mouse over where Docky is supposed to be, I get little tool tips where my applications are supposed to be, and if I click where my Ubuntu [01:36] menu is supposed to be, I can stll see a drop down menu. How do I get my panels and Docky visible again? [01:36] sorry for the flood [01:36] how to neve put system in standby from the command line ? as from the power options it's not working [01:36] malton: is it not showing up with "sudo fdisk -l" ?

[01:48] malton: hmm is the device possibly dead? [01:49] daftykins: i guess it could be. i just bought it today so i would like to think not but who knows [01:50] malton: worked on windows though yeah? [01:50] unfortunately (in this situation) no one is running windows so i can't see how it would react if launched in its native environment [01:50] ah [01:50] the 'script' in step 2 of this installation guide is a binary and doesn't execute even thought I gave it +x https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server [01:50] malton: sorry i can't be of any better help, i'd definitely try on a windows PC next [01:51] daftykins: ok... i will see if i can hunt one down. thanks for the help. [01:51] KayAteChef: did you extract first? it's a .tar.gz [01:51] how can I update the kernel ? plx [01:51] chaterzzzz: sudo apt-get install linux [01:51] I didn't realise the script was a tar.gz [01:52] the vmware release is [01:52] where can I find apache logs? [01:52] but the script is meantt o be .sh [01:52] daftykins, I have linux installed [01:52] furryotter: /var/log/apache2 [01:52] thank you [01:52] KayAteChef: there's a .sh inside it [01:52] ubu, but i need know if I need update something more manualy [01:53] OK, so I've been fighting this for a bit and have made no progress thus far. I am trying to access a winxp machine from my 10.04 laptop, and access the laptop via the winxp machine, as well as share a printer that is located on the windows computer. I had file sharing working fine before, but it is not currently. What do I need to do to get things functioning properly again? [01:53] furryotter, adm > succes visor?? [01:53] I have VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.tar.gz AND vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh in the same directory [01:54] one is meant to be a script and the other is the source tarball I assume [01:55] KayAteChef: correct, in the reverse order. [01:55] well yeah [01:55] chaterzzzz: yeah that updates the package :) [01:56] ? [01:56] however ./vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh doesn't work [01:56] that doesn't tell me anything. [01:56] it says "cannot execute binary file" [01:56] KayAteChef: just sign up on vmware.com and download it yourself. it's free to get server [01:57] KayAteChef: are you sure you're running it right? [01:57] well I /did/ download it [01:57] that is why i have the tarball [01:58] Gnea I used chmod +x vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh [01:58] and sudo ./vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh [01:58] no cigar [01:59] KayAteChef: I see. what is the output of this command: ls -l vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh [01:59] -rwxr-xr-x 1 felix felix 8586 2010-10-02 09:53 vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh [01:59] as I said... [02:00] the strange thing here is that vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh is a binary file [02:00] anyone from toronto, canada in here? [02:00] it shouldn't be a binary [02:00] KayAteChef: and what is the output of this command: head -n1 vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh [02:00] it should be a plaintect script [02:00] VisualAssassin: I note that #ubuntu-ca exists :) [02:01] KayAteChef: and you're believing this outright? [02:01] I tried to use Startup Applications -> Options -> Automatically remember.... Now I have 3 problems. *Problem #1:* On restart, my screen resolution came up the wrong size; all my windows were resized to compensate. I had to go to Display and reset the resolution. But now, various apps, such as Nautilus and Geany, "remember" the wrong geometry. [02:01] how do I add a small repository that on a cd rom ISO [02:01] �<�r�ؒ��z�O6� v�q�1� [02:01] not from canada...just wanted to hassle any toronto maple leafs fans [02:01] as I say... a binary [02:01] KayAteChef: interesting... and you've ran it through the file command as well? [02:02] nope [02:02] VisualAssassin -- I'm from Rochester, thats close! [02:02] vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh: gzip compressed data, from Unix [02:02] lol [02:02] a .gz [02:02] :O [02:02] well if your a leafs fan ur team is getting spanked [02:02] * Gnea hands KayAteChef a cigar [02:03] haha, no, and I don't like the Bills neither!

[02:05] if I could get my wifi to work, I'd get my home system to get a working GUI on it to work with the 4G in it [02:05] Okay, well, no takers on #1... moving on... *Problem #2:* After reboot, all previously open windows open in virtual desktop 1 -- the upper left. I have 8. [02:05] VisualAssassin: nice choice. I never gave vista the time of day after I learned how much like windows ME it turned out to be. [02:06] xiong, sounds like you saved your session on shutdown [02:06] its a setting [02:06] Dragon64, Correct. [02:06] i got this machine cheap a few years ago and i had the dough to spend so i did...bad investment [02:06] can anyone tell me why virtualbox will not compile under lucid? === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [02:06] have Launchpad.net a Dutch manual? :S [02:06] VisualAssassin: well, maybe on the software end, but if the hardware is still running strong I wouldn't say anything bad about it === administrator is now known as Guest70413 [02:06] I tried to use Startup Applications -> Options -> Automatically remember....

[02:07] so you want it shut off, or your app windows spread to different desk tops? [02:07] the computer looked sleek to ya know thats another reason i bought it [02:07] i think let me check my system here [02:07] hi guys [02:08] the only way a computer looks sleek to me is via the specs, so I'm kind of guessing that's what you're referring to, and less about physical glare [02:08] daftykins, Gnea, thanks for youe help [02:08] Dragon64, I want my windows to come up in the desktops where they were previously. I think I don't want to use "Automatically Remember..."; I turned that off. I can press the remember-now button when I want it. [02:08] KayAteChef: cheers [02:08] no physical glare....im a looks kind of guy. I usually buy shit if it looks good, but having good specs is just as important [02:08] hmmm not sure about that, I dont think it is very sophisticated, but let me see [02:09] hey everyone [02:09] hi [02:09] I think it may just be overwhelming to try to relaunch all previously running apps.

It seems to contain a lot of ascii-hex. Not particularly informative? [02:18] coolness: because it works. [02:18] Datz: I am just wondering what the source of the package is, if it is a PPA you may just need to add the key [02:18] well i see mention of many apps and their screen assignments [02:19] Datz, i am reading that many problems with lucid can be solved by upgrading to kernel 2.33, may be something you might look into [02:19] no need for that [02:19] least I don't think so in this case [02:20] wait i think i found it one sec [02:20] install issue with zoneminder and dpkg, how do I rectify this http://pastebin.com/EcS4XnDP please ignore autokey-gtk entries [02:20] Hi [02:20] teage, IdleOne.

[03:52] what does this error mean (from /var/log/apcupsd.events) Connection from localhost.localdomain refused by tcp_wrappers. === there__ is now known as there__|zzz [03:53] Blue1: sounds like you've got a ups monitoring program set up, and it's being blocked in /etc/hosts.deny [03:54] Blue1: most likely a configuration error since it's trying to connect on the local machine [03:55] hmmm... but have tcp wrappers been superceded in ubuntu? i'm not sure [03:55] bobstro: okay I'll look thanks [03:55] bobstro: i don't know this quit working about 5-6 weeks ago [03:56] Blue1: did you install any security software?

[03:59] How do I make it so that my network-manager detects my cable modem [03:59] bobstro: behind a router, no [03:59] Blue1: there are likely easier ways to deal with some of those issues. [03:59] Blue1: i am rusty with precedence between hosts.allow and hosts.deny. anything in allow? [03:59] bobstro: well the issue is why apsupsd suddenly comes up with the tcp_wrapper error [04:00] Blue1: understood. tcpd is stopping it from connecting locally. [04:00] Blue1: why is what we're after now. [04:00] lynx__: you should just be able to plug it in. If you're behind a router then you won't really see it at all. [04:01] bobstro: hosts.allow http://paste.ubuntu.com/504287/ [04:01] lynx__: whos doing the routing [04:02] dear Blue1 [04:02] I seem to remember getting this error when I was messing around with [04:02] tcp wrappers. Make sure you have something like `ALL: 127.0.0.0/8' in [04:02] hosts.allow (assuming you have ALL:ALL in hosts.deny!). [04:02] If that doesn't help, make sure your loopback interface is up.

[04:04] tristan_: fixed it - many thanks. [04:05] hi [04:05] it was the second google hit chief. [04:05] gilead: Hello, can we help you? [04:05] I just tried to upgrade to 10.10 and the network went down during package download. Now I can't restart the process as both update-manager -d and do-release-upgrade -d say there's no new distro available -- how to reset the state so it sees 10.10 again? [04:06] hi Ryen! [04:06] Blue1: are you using iptables firewall as well? [04:06] !10.10 | gilead [04:06] gilead: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:06] bobstro: no [04:06] uuh, sorry :) [04:06] Blue1: reason being that tcp wrappers do not protect everything. i recommend doing a scan of your system from the outside. [04:06] gilead: No worries. :) [04:06] bobstro: anyway i added the line tristin suggested, and it works fine now. [04:07] Blue1: yes, apc ups daemon does. i'm saying your protection may not be what you're expecting if only using tcp wrappers. [04:07] Blue1: (this being the voice of experience) [04:07] meh [04:07] bobstro: what do you reccomend then? [04:07] if hes behind an isr it will be fine. [04:07] or some form or nat. [04:07] Blue1: step 1 - scan from outside to BE SURE. [04:08] he said no [04:08] tristan_: i am behind a router [04:08] Blue1: thought you said no firewall tho? [04:08] bobstro: not sure how to do that... [04:08] ill nmap you. [04:08] Blue1: from an external address, run an nmap scan [04:08] bobstro: no software firewall ufw disable [04:08] tis a bit slow. 5 mins remaining [04:08] but: [04:08] Blue1: learn how to do it. it's the only way to really KNOW your security is working. [04:08] bobstro: i don't have an external address all are local machines. [04:08] does your ubuntu box have a private or public address added. [04:09] like a 192/172/10.* or routable [04:09] Blue1: oh? you have a lot of pulic ips in that allow file. [04:09] Blue1: er.. public [04:09] ten four [04:09] bobstro: well I do have an external address, but all my machines are hooked up to the router. [04:09] he should be protected already. [04:09] at least from the big bad world outside. [04:09] shit spreading in your lan is outside the scope of this. [04:10] 4 mins left [04:10] tristan_: depending on what's forwarded. it looks like some stuff is. [04:10] tristan_: surely no harm in knowing for sure, and not assuming? [04:10] surely not. i am scanning him. [04:10] is the open source ati driver better than the proprietry one? [04:10] tristan_: i have had no problems running this way in 5 years. only people who need ssh access can have ssh access. ftp is an anonmous ftp so, yeah i don't think I have any security issues atm (so I say now) [04:11] in other words should I switch to the open source version or am i just asking for trouble? [04:11] meh. it should be fine. [04:11] nat == firewall in this context [04:11] tristan_: correct [04:11] Blue1: ah, i mis-read your 'behind a firewall, no' above :) [04:12] almost done. [04:12] bobstro: this is what nmap shows http://paste.ubuntu.com/504291/ [04:13] all my panel applets move to strange places whenever I reboot, how can I make them stay put? [04:14] tristan_: sourcing scan from port 53 might be interesting [04:14] all the ports i hit are closed. [04:14] registered ports only, though. [04:14] gaelfx:have you fixed it yet? [04:14] Blue1: do you run the router? [04:15] gaelfx: right click on icon, and then click "lock to panel" [04:15] bobstro: yes [04:15] Blue1: you don't have an "any any" rule for port 53/dns (hopefully)? [04:15] gaelfx:yes lock to the panel [04:15] bobstro: nope [04:15] you dont need incoming 53. [04:16] tristan_: i can close that, and prolly telnet, -- all incoming port 80 traffic blocked by my isp anyway. [04:16] i dont see anything open. [04:16] Blue1: are you on cox in phoenix? [04:16] bobstro: yuppers [04:17] bobstro: only in Tucson, not pahonics [04:17] Blue1: i was in phoenix 13 years, much of it on cox -- @home originally [04:17] Blue1: you are lucky to get cox in TUC! my buddies can only get crappy dsl. [04:17] bobstro: they don't call em cox blankers for nothing... [04:17] cox blankers? [04:17] Blue1: you mind if i run a scan as well? [04:18] hey I have used a lot of distros, I really like Ubuntu. How come flash doesn't seem to work as well on Ubuntu 10.04.1? [04:18] bobstro: no go ahead -- [04:18] like it works beautifully on other distros [04:18] ? [04:18] but it skips and my audio skips as well [04:19] my usbkey ubuntu is fine everyday [04:19] no disk i/o at all [04:19] Endafy, 64 bit or 32 bit? [04:20] nogo: I have a "ubuntu 2 go" usb drive as well [04:20] I may try debian and see if things work better with debian, but I would really like for things to quit being so skippy and glitchy [04:20] Endafy, debian and flash I dont think so [04:20] coz_: either or I dualboot them both [04:20] Blue1: but your i/o is too much and it will be dead soon [04:20] Genieliu: locking the applets to the panel does nothing, they still move and then they are locked in the wrong position once the machine starts up again [04:21] nogo: naw, I use ext2 (no journaling) and changed it to realatime - works fine [04:21] coz_: right now I am on an RPM based distro and im not liking how things are messed up in other areas, but I am unsure what is even wrong to begin with [04:21] Blue1: realtime my ... [04:21] to cause it to be so glitchy on Ubuntu [04:21] nogo: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=51 [04:21] Blue1: i see ftp, ssh & auth. ssh is covered by your wrappers. good. [04:21] yup [04:21] bobstro: I tried to do the best job I know.. [04:21] nogo, please stay on topic [04:22] Endafy, debian and flash are not going to be easy... debian - anal gpl so I wouldnt go that route personally [04:22] Blue1: always good to KNOW. i mis-understood your response about the router, thought you were running directly exposed with no firewall. [04:22] coz_ I use the Nvidia drivers, it is a gtx 260, all my hardware is up to par, 3 gig ram dual core AMD 5000+ [04:23] Blue1: i've seen guys add "any any" rule allowing dns, which will bite ya. [04:23] coz: flash "quare" is pretty tight [04:23] coz_: hey d00d. I finally got that problem solved with the nvidia card we were working on - use a vanilla xorg.conf file. legacy nvidia cards aren't currently supported in 10.10 [04:23] Blue1, understood [04:23] bobstro: i don't think I did that... [04:23] ive started using mplayer in place of flash. [04:23] Blue1: no, you look good. i just like to be a bit paranoid. [04:24] it seems even when running MP3s and OGGs the audio skips around and it is so bothersome I cannot listen to it, I can't watch movies either for that matter, AMD with Nvidia chipset [04:24] Blue1: you've poked at ssh to test, right? [04:24] bobstro: I'd be way more worried if I were running m$ [04:24] bobstro: yup -- [04:24] hm. [04:24] Blue1: true, but i always like to test if possible [04:24] bobstro: howd you scan [04:24] bobstro: it locks all but approved in hosts.allow out [04:24] i stealth syn. [04:24] I mean "sure" I could use another distro but I really like how Ubuntu does things [04:25] bobstro: why I even tested at mcd to make sure I couldn't get in! (hehe) [04:25] tristan_: i usually do -sT since stealth is so readily blocked. [04:25] fair [04:25] Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -PN. [04:25] tristan_: plus it sets off alarm bells (though a scan usually does anyhow) [04:25] i tried that first:p [04:25] tristan_: i didn't get that! [04:25] and PN returns zilch. no auth or ssh [04:26] my visual effects are not working [04:26] tristan_: interesting. i did use --source-port 53. [04:26] can anyone tell me how to fix a permission error when doing "make install" [04:26] tejas: sudo make install [04:26] ah. i follow. [04:26] how can I get my panel applets to stay put after reboot? locking them to panel is remarkably ineffective [04:26] wow i feel dumb now lol [04:26] gaelfx:try right click the icon and choose to move to the initial location and restar again [04:27] tejas: you often need to do install as root [04:27] gaelfx: i answered that eons ago must have missed it -- right click on icon, then click on "lock to panel" [04:27] wups- answered already. [04:27] Genieliu: I did move them initially, but problem still persists [04:27] Blue1: problem still persists.... [04:28] gaelfx: you are running gnome, and 10.04? [04:29] Blue1: yes [04:29] may I ask Open Office related question here? [04:29] gaelfx: maybe x is setup weird? can you do: grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:29] help..... my visual effects are not working [04:30] gaelfx: and pastebin the output? [04:30] pksadiq, #openoffice.org [04:30] k [04:31] Blue1: yeah, but it's gonna have to wait a couple minutes, I'm IRCing on a different machine [04:31] gaelfx: k [04:32] bu #openoffice.org members are inactive :( [04:33] Anyone here who uses a PS3 and media servers with Ubuntu? [04:34] ps3 is not ubuntu [04:34] but #openoffice.org members are inactive :( [04:34] nogo, Haha, I know. [04:34] nogo :) [04:34] ooo is not ubuntu too [04:34] help..... my visual effects are not working [04:34] nogo, I was asking if anyone here media servers to the PS3 using Ubuntu. [04:35] that's ps3's problem [04:35] nkdoodwal, visual effects as in compiz? [04:35] can someone please tell me what this means? configure: error: required curses helper header not found [04:35] tejas, is that the entire readout of the error? [04:36] nkdoodwal press ALT + F2 and type compiz --replace and hit enter [04:36] coz_: i uninstalled compiz [04:36] nkdoodwal, ok so which "effects" do you mean? [04:37] tejas, Can you reply to coz_'s question? [04:37] sudo apt-get install compiz [04:37] coz_: he mean the effects which needs 3d hardware [04:37] im working on it mooshi [04:37] apologies for o-t, but why the heck does pastebin have to have twitter crap on their homepage? [04:38] ! ot | gaelfx [04:38] gaelfx: #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! [04:38] gaelfx: the question being ot means the answer would be also. ask pastebin [04:38] no its not but do you really want me copy and paste the whole thing [04:38] coz_: when right key of mouse press then in menu list visual effects [04:38] If it's long, use pastebin. [04:38] brb [04:39] When GNOME opens a window, it positions it in a certain way. It's not random; it seems to want to use up as much of the screen as it can. What controls this?

[04:41] pksadiq: are there many spies in your country? [04:41] Blue1, what looks funny [04:41] http://pastebin.com/wwiKjA98 [04:41] nkdoodwal, सही डेस्कटॉप पर क्लिक करें? [04:41] coz_: module 260? [04:41] but i can't understand that typical hindi [04:41] Blue1: yeah, I installed the latest driver from NVidia via PPA [04:42] Blue1, that sounds like the driver version [04:42] tejas, what are you compiling? [04:42] Blue1: perhaps not the brightest idea I've ever had, but it is the number of the driver version [04:42] coz_: yes but I get: (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 195.36.24 Thu Apr 22 19:52:00 PDT 2010 [04:42] its the utilities for my sound card drivers [04:42] coz_: so where did version 260 come from? [04:42] Blue1, o0 from same command? [04:43] coz_: yup [04:43] Blue1, did you use a ppa ? [04:43] coz_: I used PPA [04:43] coz_: no just standard repos [04:43] gaelfx: ahh no wonder that looks funny... [04:43] tejas, For me, it looks like you're missing some files. [04:44] Blue1, then that is wrong let me check my installed driver hold on [04:44] Blue1: ;) I've also been trying to get HDMI audio to work [04:44] tejas, when you were compiling. [04:44] coz_: thanks [04:44] Blue1, the default nvidia-currnet in ubuntu lucid via jockey is 195.36.24 [04:44] tejas, "panel.h usability... no" [04:44] can someone tell me how to disable the feature in ubuntu 10.04 where it remembers everything typed in a search bar? its annoying [04:44] Blue1, where the 260 came from would only be if you tried to install the driver manually or used the ppa [04:45] Chaos2358 firefox? [04:45] tejas, ah ok [04:45] the ironic thing is, I think my HDMI audio would work if the audio weren't built-in to the graphics card I have, i.e. if there were an SPDIF pass-through, I wouldn't be having any problems with it [04:45] coz_: ahh makes sense, I got what ever came down the pike from standard repos [04:45] hi [04:45] Chaos2358: what searchbar are you exactly talking about¿ the browser¿ set it in the browser preferences [04:45] pksadiq not just in firefox the laptop in general [04:46] mooshimusshi: i have no idea what im doing really there really where no good instructions I could find to do this I just unpaked everything that was downloaded and installed everything this is the only thing that wont [04:46] tejas, i would go over to both the #alsa channel and the #pulsaudio channel and ask there [04:46] where are the sound settings on 10.04? are they only in system>prefs>sound? bec in my 8.10 there were many more options. im unable to get my new webcams mic working [04:46] xangua its not just a browser its the whole pc like it remembers stuff i typed in the music folder when searching in the picture folder too [04:46] I want to resize a partition and I have some data on It, It's safe to do the resizing process ? [04:46] tejas, I'm guessing it asked you to do the "./configure" commands, right? [04:47] mooshimusshi: yes [04:47] Kheops: yes, but I'd backup first. always have a path back to the way it was, before you mess it up. [04:47] Blue1, when you open nvidia-settings which driver is actually in use? [04:47] tejas, Have you downloaded the build essential? [04:47] Blue1: I can't back up 1000 GB :) [04:47] a terabyte? [04:48] mhm [04:48] mooshimusshi: no clue [04:48] tejas: I'm not sure if this is what you're trying to do, but did you try installing the alsa backports module? it will get you the latest alsa, if that's what you're after [04:48] any ideas? [04:48] Kheops: then do so at your own risk [04:48] tejas, copy and paste this into the terminal. "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [04:48] coz_: 195.36.24 [04:48] tejas, without the quotes. [04:48] Blue1: how I must resizing ? [04:48] mooshimusshi: third day trying to use linux [04:48] Blue1: To keep the data safe.. [04:48] tejas, I see. [04:48] Blue1, ok that is right....what was the origianl issue you posted? [04:48] Kheops: you can use a livecd an gparted - but I'd backup the data first, but then that's me. [04:48] original even [04:48] tejas, It takes time to get use to Ubuntu ;) [04:49] coz_: you asked for version number for nvidia [04:49] will ubuntu be able to connect to the internet through a windows computer with ics on? [04:49] tejas, Anyway, download the build essential. [04:49] Blue1: I know that.. [04:49] help, on every startup my computer tells that your windows manager not working and my title bar and workspace removed [04:49] In Rhythmbox I made a playlist for an album, but the titles appear in it in an inverted order. How can I fix that? [04:49] Blue1: But..I asked you what is the size..that he will let me resize [04:49] Blue1, ah sorry ... I think I am on way too many channels doing support :) [04:49] Blue1: All and only free memory ? [04:49] Kheops: what ever you want -- [04:50] mooshimuushi: I must have for something says 0 newly installed o upgraded [04:50] Blue1: I want to take the free memory and make a new partition. [04:50] tejas, hmm. [04:50] tejas: panel.h is in libncurses5-dev [04:50] tejas also do apt-get install ncurses-dev to do make [04:50] Kheops: livecd and gparted will let you resize a partition [04:50] Blue1: I already know that.. [04:51] Kheops: sorry I am not understanding your question then. [04:51] help, on every startup my computer tells that your windows manager not working and my title bar and workspace removed [04:51] tejas, Then I guess I don't know. [04:51] Blue1:I Asked you If I will resize a partition full off data..but he has a lot of free space.. [04:51] Blue1: how Gpartet will act ? [04:51] nkdoodwal it was insane removing the compiz [04:52] can someone please tell me how to get my laptop to stop remembering searches? not just in the browser but if i search something in my muci folder it gives me that as a suggestion when trying to search in other folders [04:52] Blue1: That's my question.. [04:52] Kheops, depends on the file system [04:52] tejas, go to the channels that coz_ suggested. [04:52] I get a connection refused in ChatZilla on an IRC using port 6667.. I know it's not related to Ubuntu but I figure someone could give me a quick answer. Any idea why? It opens fine on a Ubuntu laptop of mine on the same network. [04:52] tejas, "i would go over to both the #alsa channel and the #pulsaudio channel and ask there" [04:52] Kheops: it will resize the partition, and move data. resizing is VERY time consuming - can take hours.... [04:52] pksadiq: so now?? [04:52] icarus-c: ext3 [04:52] icarus-c: only data. [04:52] mooshimuushi: that last one looks like its installing something [04:53] nkdoodwal reinstall compiz [04:53] Blue1: I don't want to move data. [04:53] after 1 to 5 mins system booted the wireless logitech keyboard and mouse hangs, to computer connected reciever. [04:53] Kheops: it will move what needs moving, no way to avoid it... [04:53] tejas, the last one? [04:53] Kheops, typically the underly file system resize tool would move data of the region to shrink to somewhere else [04:53] but system keeps working [04:53] Blue1:I want to take the free space from the partition..and make a new one [04:53] Kheops: asked and answered. [04:54] icarus-c: I don't want to move data.. [04:54] apt-get install ncurses-dev but now I get a different error [04:54] Kheops, say you want to shrink the last 10GB, it would move any data sitting there to somewhere else. [04:54] tejas, There's is an easy way to reply. Type in "mooshi" then hit "tab". [04:54] tejas, Shortcut ;) [04:54] icarus-c: why he move the data, if I want to take only the free space ?! [04:54] I get a connection refused in ChatZilla on an IRC using port 6667.. I know it's not related to Ubuntu but I figure someone could give me a quick answer. Any idea why? It opens fine on a Ubuntu laptop of mine on the same network. [04:55] Kheops, you don't get it... say you have a 20GB ext3 file system, even if you only have 100MB used, the data actually span across the whole file system phyiscally [04:55] tejas what's the error? [04:55] MooshiMuushi, thanks [04:55] icarus-c: pffff [04:55] pksadiq, ill pastebin it one sec [04:55] icarus-c: and where I will find the data ?! [04:55] Kheops, that design is to avoid file fragmentation [04:55] Kheops, you don't. the file system handle it [04:55] tejas, http://pastebin.com/wwiKjA98 [04:55] icarus-c: pffff but I need that data... [04:55] hey does anyone know how i mite be able to get my microphone attached to logitech quckcam pro to work. the device i s listed as one that "just works" woth 10.04 [04:55] tejas, That was the link you gave me ;) [04:56] Kheops, the file system stuff is transparent to user [04:56] pksadiq, http://pastebin.com/wwiKjA98 [04:56] icarus-c: I don't want to move the data..I just want to take te free space from the partition and make a new one. [04:56] tejas sorry I can't use pastbin because such sites are not well working on my slow connection and too on my browser links [04:56] icarus-c: how can I do this ? [04:56] Kheops, just resize it [04:56] tejas sorry I can't use pastbin because such sites are not well working on my slow connection and too on my browser links or links2 or lunx [04:56] :))))))))))))))))) [04:56] tejas sorry I can't use pastbin because such sites are not well working on my slow connection and too on my browser links or links2 or lynx [04:56] Kheops, file system handle all the underly stuff for ya [04:57] icarus-c: I want my data to be clasified.. [04:57] tejas, right click his name and hit "Open Dialog File" [04:57] Kheops, classified? [04:57] Kheops, that "move data" thingy i mentioned is done transparently within the file system, not moving to another disk or what. [04:57] yes bazhang [04:57] Kheops, explain [04:57] pksadiq: one thing after installing ubuntu i m not able to reinstall linux/windows [04:58] I don't want to spread... [04:58] Kheops, you want these password protected? [04:58] nkdoodwal can U boot windows? [04:58] I want the filles remain there..and just take the free space..and do what I want to do with all this Free space. [04:58] pksadiq: no [04:58] coz_: no [04:59] ok [04:59] I am confused [04:59] MooshiMuushi it seems you did not install libncurses5-dev [04:59] All I want Is to know If I will lose some data.. [04:59] If I will resize.. [04:59] to take the free space.. [04:59] * Blue1 stands in line behind coz_ [04:59] In Rhythmbox I made a playlist for an album, but the titles appear in it in an inverted order. How can I fix that? [04:59] Or I will be able to find the files.. [04:59] !enter | Kheops [04:59] Kheops: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:00] Kheops, if you want to resize a file system, just do it. if you wonder how it is done technically, read resize2fs documentation [05:00] nkdoodwal what is the error? [05:00] it doesnot load bootmanager , it start normally [05:01] nkdoodwal if you can't boot anything you may need to reinstall windows first and then ubuntu [05:01] icarus-c: If I have a partition with 1000 GB and just 800 Used and 200 free and I will do a resize to take the 200 GB what it will happens ? [05:01] Ryen: u there dude? [05:01] Kheops, actually the theory could be very simple. say your file system allocates 5 blocks on disk A,B,C,D,E . block A,B,D,E are used. now you want to resize to 4 blocks (A,B,C,D) so the data in Block E will be moved to block C [05:02] I get a connection refused in ChatZilla on an IRC using port 6667.. I know it's not related to Ubuntu but I figure someone could give me a quick answer. Any idea why? It opens fine on a Ubuntu laptop of mine on the same network. [05:02] but problem is this i am not able to install anyone [05:02] icarus-c: I see your point but on the block C It's not enough space. [05:02] pksadiq: but problem is this i am not able to install anyone [05:02] Kheops, um... block size are even for the whole file system [05:02] pksadiq, did you look at the dialog window with the paste in it? [05:02] Kheops, like 4k [05:03] I see [05:03] so [05:03] icarus-c: If I have a partition with 1000 GB and just 800 Used and 200 free and I will do a resize to take the 200 GB what it will happens ? <-- your file system will be shrinked by about 200GB :) [05:03] :) [05:03] pksadiq: it doesnot take boot from cd/dvd/usb [05:03] tejas also install gettext [05:04] nkdoodwal can You open BIOS? [05:04] icarus-c: I see. [05:04] icarus-c: and the rest of 800 GB will remain untouched ? [05:04] Kheops, yes. [05:04] pksadiq, really new to linux what command to do that? [05:04] icarus-c: and on the same partition ? [05:05] pksadiq: i am working on same computer so little bit later i reconnect with you [05:06] ? [05:06] Kheops, yes [05:06] pksadiq do sudo apt-get install gettext [05:06] icarus-c: Thanks. [05:06] tejas do sudo apt-get install gettext [05:06] Kheops, that is the whole point of resizing file system/partition after all [05:06] icarus-c: And I can't resize more than I have right ? [05:06] Kheops, of course [05:07] to avoid data losing [05:07] perfect. [05:07] :P [05:07] many thanks :) [05:07] Kheops, oh but aware that resizing such a large partition takes time [05:07] I'm feeling more safety :) [05:07] np icarus-c [05:07] Kheops, since it is moving data around behind the scene [05:07] more than a back-up I don't think so :) [05:08] tejas you may also visit https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/81561 [05:08] Kheops, oh but any partitioning operation come at certain risk [05:08] Kheops: what do you use to resize? [05:08] icarus-c: It's only 800 GB to move [05:08] Kheops, it works 99% of time, but can fail due to many reason [05:08] Kheops, like power cut, faulty disk, or a comet impact [05:08] Hey guys, whats a good theme i should install onto into my gnome? [05:08] tejas check the bottom part of the site [05:08] icarus-c: There are only Data..no file system [05:09] icarus-c: data only, music, video. [05:09] AlbertoP: Live CD [05:09] tukadafoonday, my personal favourite is equinox [05:09] Kheops: well if those data are written on a disk... you have a filesystem [05:09] AlbertoP: Gparted. [05:09] thanks icarus-c [05:09] AlbertoP, oooo no you could of course store data on disk without a file system :) [05:09] Kheops: well backup, and be *careful* [05:09] I will have a look at it. [05:09] AlbertoP, that's what real hacker does :P [05:10] hmm AlbertoP: yes but I mean data on music and video..are data..not data system [05:10] :) [05:10] dd ftw [05:10] icarus-c: yuck! [05:10] AlbertoP: It's a force term. [05:10] AlbertoP: I can lose data during this long process of resizing ? :) [05:10] AlbertoP, and you could hexedit /dev/sda :) [05:10] Kheops: ohhh yes you can [05:11] hmmmm or I can't. [05:11] right ? [05:11] and what is the best dock to use? I have seen cairo and avant, I personally liked Avant more than Cairo... any others i should give a look? [05:11] Kheops, yes! beware of mother, she often tend to shut off your computer at critical time [05:11] Kheops: it is perfectly possible :) [05:11] In state of formating I will asume this risk. [05:11] :) [05:11] nope === coolsan is now known as nkdoodwal [05:12] icarus-c: you're funny but you're right about power crash.. [05:12] :) [05:12] It's not my mum, It's the Electric Power Company :) [05:12] In Rhythmbox I made a playlist for an album, but the titles appear in it in an inverted order. How can I fix that? [05:12] Kheops: during a resize, depending on the user approach, you manipulate the structure of the filesystem, which means you might damage it, and be unable to retrieve your data [05:12] tukadafoonday it is very nice to use e17 along with ecomorph and other plugins very charming, I like the best [05:13] so it's not only "during formatting" [05:13] pksadiq: yeah i opened my bios [05:13] AlbertoP: I understand.. [05:13] AlbertoP: But what can I do instate of Backup ? [05:14] nkdoodwal then did you changed first boot device? [05:14] Kheops: nothing [05:14] AlbertoP: :) [05:14] pksadiq: it is cd/dvd [05:14] AlbertoP: keep the data there till my end of my life ? [05:15] nkdoodwal still not booting? [05:15] yeah [05:15] question, I got a system that will boot the live cd, but i have to choose options [x] acpi=off, [x] noapic, [x] nolapic, and [x] nomodeset, then it will boot the live cd, and lets me install it, install said sucessful, but then when i reboot, i get 'try booting with noapic' and i've tried booting, holding escape, 'e' to edit the highlighted kernel, and add the options, but no luck, Can anyone help? [05:15] icarus-c: How I must resize, what is your advice about.. [05:15] nkdoodwal now can you reinstall ubuntu? [05:16] Kheops, just resize. it is very safe. at least the software is [05:16] how can I disable the caching for usb writing? [05:16] icarus-c: To resize all the free memory or to take about 198 GB from 200 GB ? [05:16] no because boot manager not loading [05:16] It's matters ? [05:16] Kheops, what do you mean... [05:16] free memory? [05:16] icarus-c: mhm [05:17] if you can use your BIOS to boot from CD or USB you can induce without BIOS support Using bootmanagers Like Plop Boot manager , visit www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [05:17] if you cant5 use your BIOS to boot from CD or USB you can induce without BIOS support Using bootmanagers Like Plop Boot manager , visit www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [05:17] icarus-c: It's more risky if I will resize to the full free memory ? [05:18] Kheops, what you actually want to achieve [05:18] hmm [05:18] icarus-c: It is much better to resize 198 GB from 200 free ? [05:18] Kheops, i thought you want to resize from 1TB to 800GB [05:18] icarus-c: nop [05:19] Kheops, oh you mean extending? that is a real piece of cake [05:19] icarus-c: hmmm [05:19] icarus-c: I don't think It's extending [05:19] Kheops, that will just change partition table a bit, then change file system metadata. without even touching your data [05:19] oops [05:20] pksadiq: this time it started booting process normally [05:20] Kheops, you mean 200GB -> 2GB ?... [05:20] icarus-c: From 800 GB I want to take 200 GB that are free. [05:20] nkdoodwal k [05:20] nkdoodwal then, so what is the help do you do need> [05:20] ? [05:20] icarus-c: And then I will make a new partition with 200 GB :) [05:20] Kheops, so you have 800GB total, 600GB used (hence 200GB free). and you want to resize 800GB -> 600GB ? [05:21] icarus-c: Taken from the 1000 GB 800 GB.. [05:21] there are 898G -> 562G Used -> 291G Free [05:21] pksadiq: no thnks a lot for help [05:21] now clear ? [05:21] as the bottom of the hudson [05:22] pksadiq: it started normally [05:22] nkdoodwal Welcome :) skype me at pksadiq [05:22] Kheops, you know what, just tell gparted what you want, it will tell you it can be done or not :) [05:22] what are good python books with socket programming? [05:22] icarus-c: do you understand me ? [05:22] Kheops, it won't let you shrink size more than you used [05:22] pksadiq: ok [05:22] Eighteens: Probably edit in /boot/grub/menu.lst a line that starts with 'kernel' (without a leading #), which includes the path to the Linux kernel image and the boot parameters. [05:23] Kheops, i think i got you 70% [05:23] icarus-c: so It's a resizing not an extending [05:23] hi friends i have an old mac ibook g3 ver 2 (30 GB hdd, 128 mb ram)...which version of ubuntu do you recommend me to load? [05:23] bullgard4: the file to edit is /etc/default/grub (for grub2) [05:23] icarus-c: but also I can use move [05:23] icarus-c: right ? [05:23] SabayonUser, lubuntu. [05:23] TiK: Don't hekp me but please help Eighteens. [05:24] icarus-c: It's same like resizing but you specify the value for Free Space Preceding [05:24] !lubuntu [05:24] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [05:24] oh please do :) [05:24] SabayonUser, i would go without a desktop environment though. like use a Window Manager based setup [05:24] bullgard4: well you are wrong that file is auto generated and will be overwritten [05:24] what are good python books with socket programming? [05:24] shamez, #python [05:24] but i heard there is a separate powerpc version available [05:24] s/hekp/help/ [05:24] Kheops, yes you can move [05:24] Is it worth upgrading to meercat now while the RC is out if i'm on intel hardware (laptop) with nvidia gpu. or should i wait for the final build? [05:25] a separate powerpc version for netbook [05:25] Kheops, but it would take a VERY long time... [05:25] thank you bullgard for that pleasant display of kindness in putting me before you [05:25] shamez check for diveintopython [05:25] icarus-c: but I don't understand very much the you specify "the value for Free Space Preceding" [05:25] TiK: Don't help me but please help coz-: my wifi is not working in ubuntu [05:25] Eighteens: what was you problem with grub2? [05:25] Kheops, moving in gparted is just dragging [05:25] Kheops, have you ever look at gparted? the graph should explain [05:25] Can window movement be scripted? [05:25] icarus-c: hmmm the move It's the same like resize ? [05:25] Kheops, no. [05:25] icarus-c: of course. [05:26] my wifi is not working in ubuntu [05:26] Hello, could someone give me some info on how to run a bash script on startup? Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [05:26] ok i got 10.04 to install, but i had to boot the live cd, and choose 'noapic with f6 options, and nolapic, and acpi=off and nomodeset [05:26] pksadiq, what about o'reilly books? [05:26] !wifi [05:26] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:26] nkdoodwal do u have NEtwork manager or wicd? [05:26] icarus-c: I'm pretty confused about resizing and moving.. [05:26] install completed, but after reboot it wouldnt go [05:26] i'm in the live cd now, and can see the drive it installed to [05:27] icarus-c: which It's better for my wish ? [05:27] Eighteens: what exactly is happening? ubuntu only, or dual boot, or? [05:27] i tried escaping, and 'e' to edit the highlighted kernel, but it didnt work [05:27] pksadiq, plus i have already read diveintopython ..not very thorough on socket programming.. [05:27] Eighteens: edit /etc/default/grub and add those ines where it says "queit splash" [05:27] shamez oh, really! but O'reilly books are mostely not free [05:27] Kheops, moving is keeping same file system size but put on different physical location on the disk [05:27] Kheops, resizing is about changing the size of the file system [05:27] SabayonUser: network manager/wicd????????? [05:27] Kheops, resizing & moving can be mixed though [05:27] ok let me have a look [05:27] any omgwtfbbq style bugs in the meercat RC that would make you recommend i wait for the final build before installing it on an intel laptop with nvidia gpu? [05:27] #ubuntu-br-ba na rede irc.freenode.org [05:28] pksadiq, i dont mind buying..possibly which book would you recomend? [05:28] Eighteens: on the mounted harddrive [05:28] Flynsarmy1: I run 10.10 [05:28] icarus-c: I understand that If I will use move to have free unused space for a new partition It will dragg my filles on another partition ? [05:29] TiK: are the noveau drivers supporting 3D yet? [05:29] Kheops, no........... your file will ALWAYS stick to the file system [05:29] ok got the /etc/default/grub file open in gedit [05:29] Flynsarmy1: i run invidia as well [05:29] Kheops, the file system move, they move [05:29] Eighteens: from the mounted hard drive or the live cd's one? [05:29] the mounted drive [05:29] ok [05:30] Eighteens: 1 sec [05:30] icarus-c: what are the file system that you refer ? [05:30] Kheops, you don't have to even think about your data [05:30] thanks so much for helping, i was looking all over the place for this file [05:30] TiK: proprietry or OSS drviers? [05:30] in order to boot the live cd, i had to add like 4 options from the f6 menu [05:30] prop [05:30] acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, nomodeset [05:30] Eighteens: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= add here [05:31] TiK: my wifi is not working in ubuntu 10.04 [05:31] do i use spaces between the commands [05:31] Kheops, file system is the data structure that store & manage your files on storage. [05:31] icarus-c: I don't understand the move command It says that It's like resizing command.. [05:31] shamez chesk small tutorials online linke in http://www.evolt.org/node/60276 http://www.prasannatech.net/2008/07/socket-programming-tutorial.html tp://www.slideshare.net/didip/socket-programming-in-python etc [05:32] Eighteens: yah spaces not ,'s [05:32] with a small difference.. [05:32] Tik, thank you so much, i wish i could repay you in some way, Great help! [05:32] nkdoodwal What mfg/model laptop do you have? [05:32] Kheops, say it knows that /home/bill/favourite-porn.avi is stored on block 1000 to 1000000 on the disk physically [05:32] Eighteens: dont worry about it :P [05:32] rusivi: i am having dell vostro 1510 [05:32] Kheops, i think the word "move" & "resize" explain enough by itself [05:33] i don't mind holding escape when booting and choosing the drive i want to boot, but it would be nice if it was on a menu, like when you use the wubi loader, how it writes to boot.ini [05:33] ... [05:33] Eighteens: you might have to do that 1 more time and then run "update-grub" [05:33] idk [05:33] Kheops, so in the bill's example, favourite-porn.avi on block 1000-100000 is the data [05:34] hi my netbook is unable to connect to wifi when it is running on battery [05:34] I read..the gparted manual.. [05:34] Kheops, you ask the file system for favourite-porn.avi, the file system gives you data on block 1000-100000 [05:34] don't understand the move.. [05:34] ok, so the line reads GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off noapic nolapic nomodeset" [05:34] Kheops, ok... now place your phone on desk [05:34] Tik, that look ok [05:35] I haev a BCM4312 n/w controller - and i installed the bcm43xx-fwcutter tool [05:35] Kheops, let your phone now be at place A. now move it to the right by 10cm to place B [05:35] icarus-c: k..I understand === thomashc is now known as IVLIVS_CAESER [05:35] Eighteens: yep reboot and try it you might have to put those opens in but onc its up run update-grub [05:35] rusivi: ..:-) [05:35] is anyone facing a similar problem? [05:35] and it should do it everytime [05:35] icarus-c: but I don't understand with partitions.. [05:35] rusivi: . :-) [05:35] icarus-c: here says..It's just like resizing, except that you specify the value for Free Space Preceding in the options. [05:35] Kheops, now i rephrase that: your file system was starting on block A, size of your phone, and now you move the whole file system to block B [05:36] ok, thanks again, be back in 2shakes of a lambs tail [05:36] exit [05:36] (block refer to the starting block of the file system [05:36] why I shuld to that ? [05:36] vatsala: yeah me [05:36] should* === IVLIVS_CAESER is now known as thomashc [05:36] do*.. === thomashc is now known as ivlivs [05:36] Kheops, free space preceding is like cutting left side of your phone to "free" some space [05:36] nkdoodwal: Has the wifi ever worked either in 10.04, prior Ubuntu, or in Maverick? [05:37] Kheops, "free space after" means cut right side of your phone to free some space on the right [05:37] but where It's going the moved space ? [05:37] nkdoodwal: ok, how do it solve it - i found a work around for a realtek chipset but not yet for broadcom [05:37] yes in ubuntu 9.10 [05:37] Kheops, move is about displacement, moving your phone [05:37] but where ? [05:37] Kheops, where you tell it to... [05:37] I see... [05:37] * Blue1 thinks icarus-c has the patience of job.... [05:37] Kheops, see that bar where you could drag the partition around in gparted? [05:38] icarus-c are you jocking? [05:38] Blue1: you're rude ? :) [05:38] rusivi: wifi driver not installing [05:38] Blue1, saturday :) [05:38] pksadiq, i can't think of better way to teach [05:38] Kheops, this is going to take a long time. best to get started. [05:38] icarus-c: I see [05:38] icarus-c Great, Keep it Up [05:38] Kheops, dragging that bar is like moving your phone.. [05:39] bazhang: thanks for whishes. [05:39] nkdoodwal: Ok, your saying when you click System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers it does not install? [05:39] Kheops, any data you don't backup is not important. always do backups before such sensitive operations. [05:40] rusivi: it show in h/w driver but give error message [05:40] I don't understand.. [05:40] look at this http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html [05:40] nkdoodwal: Can you copy/paste the error message? [05:40] scroll down to Task 6 [05:40] Kheops, make a back up copy. just in case. [05:40] and tell me what he did. [05:41] bazhang: I can't there are many data files.. [05:41] rusivi: yeah [05:41] Kheops, then you deem them unimportant. [05:41] nkdoodwal: please do so [05:42] bazhang: If I could do the backup I didn't come here k ? [05:42] rusivi: my broadcoam b43 wireless drivers are installed but I dont know if I have missed something else [05:42] Kheops, i think what he meant is moving is like resizing because it can be done by changing free space preceding & following at the same time [05:42] I realy don't understand...http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html task 6 [05:43] Kheops, if you got gparted running, you drag the bar around, you will see the value of free space preceding &following change together [05:43] rusivi: let me paste the o/p of iwconfig and ifconfig from my netbook a [05:43] can you explain to me task 6 ? [05:43] rusivi: it asks to look file named /var/log/jockey.log [05:43] what he did.. [05:43] Kheops, just very simple math, add some free space in front, minus some after, if what you added & minuses are the same, it is "move" [05:43] nkdoodwal: ok one moment please [05:44] Kheops, if you don't understand that, ignore he says "just like resizing" [05:44] i need help in installing kopete [05:44] The file '/home/zain/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/zain/My Documents/Downloads/idman519.exe' is not marked as executable.

[05:58] digital_1, it is just a bot [05:58] enough google is not clever enough to answer "what's the pre-release channel name?" i suppose [05:59] Anyone here with android sdk experience? [06:00] Why are there installed on my computer the DEB program packages grub (version 0.97) and grub-common (version 1.98) at the same time? [06:00] barnacles10, try /msg alis list *android* for a support channel [06:00] i need help with installing kopete [06:00] thanks [06:00] barnacles10, http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html [06:01] help [06:01] i recently installed ubuntu on a partition on my hard disk, ubuntu overwrote the bootloader with GRUB, i don't have Windows bootloader anymore. How can i recover windows bootloader without the windows installation CD while keeping the GRUB bootloader with it? [06:01] x-izzy, apt-get install kopete ? [06:01] FusionX you need a windows disk [06:01] i did that and i can't still find it in programs but when i try to do it again it says its installed [06:01] if its 7 there is a little repair my installation thing [06:01] otherwise a few commands from the recovery console [06:01] its easy. google it [06:01] tristan_: its windows XP [06:01] tristan_: cant grub boot Windows? === kkpi is now known as mo_bledhoz [06:01] yes. [06:01] x-izzy, but note that kopete uses KDE component intensively, running it on GNOME or other environment will use a lot more resources [06:01] if it knows where it is [06:02] x-izzy, so Applications -> Internet -> Kopete ? [06:02] tristan_: that shouldn't be too hard :) [06:02] its not there [06:02] x-izzy, or press Alt-F2 , enter kopete [06:02] but i'm planning to remove ubuntu some weeks later and it will also remove the GRUB and so i won't be able to boot at all [06:02] i am using GNOME [06:02] I've been there. I can get it working, but am having issues with things sticking [06:02] yeah you just gotta [06:02] what is mint irc ? [06:02] :( [06:02] hmm its like 2 commands [06:02] greezmunkey, grub can't boot windows itself, but grub can chainload to windows boot loader [06:02] !mintsupport > zain [06:02] zain, please see my private message [06:02] easy though. [06:03] (I use Windows XP service pack 3) i recently installed ubuntu on a partition on my hard disk, ubuntu overwrote the bootloader with GRUB, i don't have Windows bootloader anymore. How can i recover windows bootloader without the windows installation CD while keeping the GRUB bootloader with it? [06:03] icarus-c: got it, thanks. [06:03] greezmunkey, which means grub can ask windows boot loader to boot windows [06:03] FusionX, what is your other OS [06:03] FusionX: bootdisk.com may be of some help [06:03] icarus-c : ubuntu and windows xp [06:03] it opened... thanks man but i can't find the icon so i have to always do that? [06:03] FusionX: yes [06:03] FusionX, simply use that OS boot loader to take over the MBR then format your ubuntu install [06:03] its like two commands from the recovery console [06:04] dont make me google it for you [06:04] FusionX, so you would run fixmbr or fixboot on Windows (i don't really know). then grub will no longer be your boot loader, so you could format ubuntu [06:04] Hello,, all. Please sewe my issue with gnome freezing here http://pastebin.com/K8uMbsUw [06:04] icarus-c: is correct [06:04] but google the exact commands [06:05] tristan_, what?! ubuntu doesn't even involve in the task [06:05] tristan_, it is all windows' [06:05] ho do i use bootdisc.com? [06:05] ubuntu will just sit there and let Windows remove it [06:05] FusionX, i've just told you how... [06:05] FusionX: go there, and download what you need. [06:05] FusionX, ask windows folks how to fixmbr or stuff like that [06:05] FusionX: see icarus-c 's messages... [06:06] FusionX, what you want to do is actually not related to Ubuntu or Linux even [06:06] icarus-c: its the xp boot disk an dcommand prompt :p [06:06] FusionX, i repeat, to remove ubuntu, you will need to use Windows to reinstall Windows' boot loader, then use Windows to format ubuntu's install [06:07] in contrast of how to remove Windows and install ubuntu :P [06:07] icarus-c: ok i got it, thanks alot! [06:08] nkdoodwal: have you had a chance to check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [06:09] x-izzy, kopete is a KDE stuff, it may not be compliant with GNOME's application category, so it may not appear in APplication->internet. maybe in Other? [06:09] x-izzy, anyway, wouldn't Alt-F2 kopete be faster :) [06:09] or the master way: bind a keyboard shortcut to run kopete [06:09] x-izzy, between, how much more memory is used when you run kopete ? [06:10] like 100MB ? [06:10] help identify [06:10] theta003, could you clarify a bit? [06:11] theta003 /msg nickserv help identify [06:11] ahh!!! that [06:11] i don't really know how to check that [06:11] phil_in_london, how could you even think of nickserv just seeing "help identify" on a ubuntu support channel [06:12] x-izzy, gnome-system-monitor [06:12] icarus, been doing irc since hmm...well, never mind ;) [06:12] lets just say, first client was a telnet app :) [06:12] hi, i need help connecting to a wireless network [06:13] there is some permissions problem [06:13] theta003, there should be a network icon on your panel in status area [06:13] 23% [06:13] i installed wicd, got connected, got an ip [06:13] x-izzy, check that with & without kopete running to see the difference [06:13] icarus-c: when trying to ping, i get operation not permitted, even while using sudo [06:14] theta003, what is the exact message [06:14] theta, what are you pinging? the router? the internet? yourself? [06:14] the router [06:14] theta, do you get the same message if you ping say google, or yourself? [06:15] i get "PING 192.168.1.255 "Operation Not Permitted" [06:15] theta003, what is the exact "operation not permitted" message [06:15] and also try pinging google [06:15] it could simply be that the router is not responding to ping, its a parameter that can be set on most routers. [06:16] icarus-c: i didn't try that, but tried "nslookup www.google.com" [06:16] icarus-c: it times out [06:16] hello [06:16] theta, how about ping yourself. [06:16] does anyone know why my sound cuts out when i start picasa? [06:16] icarus-c: there are a lot of comps connected to the same router, they are working perfectly fine [06:17] theta003: are you running a firewall? [06:17] its 21.7% [06:17] greezmunkey: i don't know [06:17] its 22% now [06:17] greezmunkey: i haven't done anything specific to enable a firewal [06:17] theta003: try sudo iptables -L see what comes up. [06:18] greezmunkey: theres a long list on O/P [06:19] theta003: that's it. [06:19] greezmunkey: unforunately at present I am on a differen comp, so can't copy-paste [06:19] scott, I get same thing, in my case its amount of ram on this p.o.s., only 1/2mb here. [06:19] theta003: you can flush iptables to see if that really is it. [06:19] really? [06:19] i have 2gb [06:20] Why are there installed on my computer the DEB program packages grub (version 0.97) and grub-common (version 1.98) at the same time? [06:20] scott, what about your sound card, has its own ram too? [06:20] using onboard sound [06:20] greezmunkey: how do i do that? i am a n00b [06:20] scott, yeah, that'll chew up some system ram. [06:20] theta003: sudo iptables -F [06:20] scott, when you start picassa, is it starting up showing folders of pictures? [06:21] no, just opening up picasa [06:21] i have a feeling that it has something to do with wine taking over [06:21] greezmunkey: after that [06:21] scott, well, there is that layer that wine is going to add to the whole process. [06:21] but after a min or so... i can play music just fine [06:21] greezmunkey: there was no O/P [06:21] while picasa is running [06:21] theta003: try your ping [06:21] scott, yeah, its ram allocation, some for wine, some for your sound card, once everybody's been dealt their hand its back on with the game. [06:22] scott, are there no alternatives to picassa you can use to eliminate the need for wine? [06:22] greezmunkey: same error: "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted" [06:22] i wish google would come out with a linux native butt.. [06:22] but.. [06:22] theta003: your firewall may complain, or rebuild the rules, check with sudo iptables -L again. [06:22] dont see that happening [06:23] scott, but is just an image management program no? [06:23] fspot dosent do the trick :-( [06:23] ah, okay, you've investigated then :) [06:23] greezmunkey: only three table headings now, no info below that [06:23] well, i mainly use it to import from my digital cam === SabayonUser is now known as NotNewAnymore [06:23] videos and pictures, and its all neatly organized in picasa [06:23] #irc.brokensphere.net #bibliotik-invites [06:23] greezmunkey: chain INPUT, chain FORWARD, chain OUTPUT [06:23] ello [06:24] theta003: hmm...that's wierd. [06:24] scott, I wonder if there might be a way to startup wine at boot up so it don't chew up those cycles when you start picassa? [06:24] theta003: try ping 127.0.0.1 [06:24] what's the discussion with iptables? [06:24] thats what id like [06:24] ping icarus [06:24] I don't know myself, don't use wine at all. [06:24] u say u have the same issue? [06:24] !pdf editor | blue1 [06:24] greezmunkey: same error [06:24] scott, I have same issue but its definitely due to lack of ram. [06:24] no i'm asking, i didn't hear the question [06:24] u are the first person ive ran into that had the same [06:24] theta003: are yo one that machine now? [06:24] anyone know of a pdf editor OTHER then pdfedit, that actually works? [06:24] scott, wine starts with notepad added to it already right? [06:25] greezmunkey: nope, but its just next to me [06:25] Blue1: Evince [06:25] Blue1: Adobe Reader [06:25] Blue1: pdftk >> pdf toolkit [06:25] yes notepad is in there [06:25] wine and iptables??! [06:25] greezmunkey: nope, buts its next to me [06:25] Blue1: sorry dislexic Office w/ PDF Import [06:25] I second notepad is in there [06:25] scott, if you head over to System/Preferences/Startup maybe you could add either Wine or Notepad to your startup, maybe that will force at load at boot. [06:25] rusivi: what I am looking for is something that would allow me to type my responses rather then handwriting. [06:25] greezmunkey: i mean i am connected to irc on a different one [06:25] ill see if my music cuts out while starting notepad [06:26] Blue1: I have used OpenOffice w/ PDF Import add-on [06:26] man i'm confused on what is the question [06:26] theta003: ok, you _should_ be able to ping localhost. Try ping localhost... [06:26] scott, what I'm getting at is that the "cut" is probably happening while the system is allocating ram resources to Wine....if you could get that out of the way at boot, maybe it might occur only that once. [06:26] guys anyone got vmware player working on new ubuntu, do i need extra packages, i do have build-essential, anything else i need/ [06:27] gb__: you talking about maverick? [06:27] i c what u are saying [06:27] rusivi: oo doesn't like pdf files can only export [06:27] User_UnFriendly: yes [06:27] notepad dosent make sound cut out [06:27] scott, but was wine already loaded during this boot? [06:27] greezmunkey: yep that works [06:27] Blue1: One must install the "PDF Import" add-on i'll get the link for it [06:27] gb__: i'm using maverick but i haven't tried it yet [06:27] rusivi: ah thanks. [06:27] have you had a problem? [06:27] Blue1: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport [06:28] if i have music playing and i start picasa the sound goes out... if i wait a minute i can start my music again and its fine [06:28] greezmunkey: i can access net via gprs on that machine [06:28] rusivi: omw (on my way) [06:28] but if i start picasa again it cuts out again [06:28] :) [06:28] greezmunkey: its only through the wlan0 interface that is creating problems [06:28] theta003: good, so what's happening is that your echo responses are being dropped, maybe by some other firewall - probably not an indication that there is anything wrong... [06:28] scott, same thing happens here with my rhythmbox, and it happens with any program of size, terminal don't do it nor gedit, but pretty much anything else including Chrome does. [06:28] User_UnFriendly: i had google for hwto vmware on ubuntu, found olf link which told me to get some file, which i dont see in new system, it was on old ubuntu 8.10 linnk instruction page , was not sure on new [06:29] FFUUUU GOOOGLE: HOW DOES IT WORK [06:29] scott, oh, happens everytime, well my guess on the "load at boot" ain't gonna help then :( [06:29] scott whats the question and issue? [06:29] :-( [06:29] everytime i start up picasa my sound cuts out [06:29] scott, do you use the picassa alot? [06:29] have you tried virtual box from sun? [06:29] but after about a min i start up music again its fine [06:29] you not running as sudo are you? [06:29] hi [06:30] yes i use picasa alot [06:30] gb__: have you tried virtual box from sun? [06:30] greezmunkey: something weird happened, i dialed using wvdial to connect to gprs n/w while being connected to the wifi n/w, after disconnecting the gprs n/w, the wlan0 interface started to work immediately [06:30] gb__ I tried VMWare, I would more consider that if I was corporate admin, I use Oracle VirtualBox-OSE for personal use and it rocks. [06:30] what up mawst [06:30] i switched from windows completely like 6months ago. and this is the last thing ive been "dealing with" [06:30] scott, lets say you start picassa, and just leave it running, does it cut sound when you simply switch back to it? [06:30] User_UnFriendly: yup i have , i wanted to try vmware player for a chance, always used virtuabox before [06:30] greezmunkey: my problem is solved, but haven't a clue why [06:30] virtual box is the way to go [06:30] oh okay [06:31] theta003: reboot and start over, flushing the firewall rules probably had something to do with that. [06:31] rusivi: ahh no instruction on how to install will continue looking [06:31] scot you not runnng picasa with sudo right / [06:31] what's your problem with vmware [06:31] greezmunkey: k, thanks [06:31] Blue1: let me check out Synaptic real quick [06:31] I created a new ppa but I'm not exactly sure what to upload, am I uploading a source package for it to build or a binary package that I should build myself? [06:31] gb.. im not logged on as root [06:31] is that what u are asking? [06:31] yes [06:31] rusivi: i have oo installed, but I can't figure out how to install the extension I loaded [06:31] downloaded [06:31] theta003: if you get the same (no) connectivity after restarting, and then it works after flushing the iptables, then you know what needs to be addressed :) [06:32] Yo [06:32] greezmunkey: you anygood with iptables [06:32] ? [06:32] yo mawst [06:32] openoffice.org-pdfimport [06:32] greezmunkey: yeah, i know what to do, but still don't get it why its required [06:32] Blue1: you can install via synaptic openoffice.org-pdfimport [06:32] (dont laugh) but how to exit vim? [06:32] rusivi: k [06:32] ;) [06:32] greezmunkey: i will have to change some firewall rules to get it to work automatically? [06:32] scott try as normal user [06:32] scott, this picassa, you're talking about wine and such, but can't you just visit http://picasaweb.google.com/ [06:33] phil... u know what.. it does make the music cut out again [06:33] scott oh "not" [06:33] AbhiJit: hi [06:33] vim is great for not being to leave lol [06:33] ?? [06:33] User_UnFriendly: I get around, but unfortunately I have to drop off right now, it is Friday night :) [06:33] rusivi: no, unhappy with that - installed, but won't open pdf file... [06:33] hello gb__ [06:33] scott, what I'm wondering is why you are even running a picassa application at all? [06:33] AbhiJit: press escape first, the shift key + z z [06:33] just from bringing up a picture [06:33] later then [06:34] Blue1: Does it give you the opportunity to open the PDF file in OpenOffice Draw? [06:34] id love to get away from picasa, but havent found anything that does what it does [06:34] scott__: and whats is it? [06:34] rusivi: not tried that... [06:34] hi [06:34] scott, thats strange, I just brought up picassa and it DID NOT stop my sound. [06:34] hows everyone doing [06:34] Blue1: Typically the PDF Import extension opens PDFs in Draw [06:34] but then, I just visited http://picasaweb.google.com/ I don't have an application installed. [06:34] i plug my digital camera in.. it imports everything(including videos) and organizes everything neatly [06:35] rusivi: I have oo presentation/spreadsheet/wordprocessor [06:35] man i should have came here last night with an issue with a dlink adapter, but i figured it out [06:35] scott, AH, thats it, your digital camera has some kind of software with it? [06:35] Blue1: Install Draw, that may be the deal breaker for PDF Import [06:35] AbhiJit: done? [06:35] ok general question. where can i find the 'source' code for most apps i install in ubuntu. for example. the program 'qiv'. where can i find the source code after installing it from apt? [06:35] gb__, stopped with ctrl z and then exited [06:35] no no, special software with my cam [06:35] AbhiJit: thats not the right way [06:36] Blue1: Copying from Synaptic Description: "This package contains an extension to open PDF documents with [06:36] OpenOffice.org Draw." [06:36] scott, is your video onboard like your audio? [06:36] dendrite, to get the source code do apt-get source qiv [06:36] gb__, yah but now i exited anyhow [06:36] ah ty. where would it download it after that? [06:36] directory i mean [06:36] dendrite, in yoru current directory [06:36] video and sound onboard [06:36] scott, does your system's bios allow you to allocate ram to the video at boot up? [06:37] rusivi: it's already instlaled let me see if I can bring it up. [06:37] im not sure [06:37] AbhiJit: next time nano document [06:38] gb__, yah [06:38] nano is awesome, why isn't it in fedora on install? [06:38] do you think the video is taking away too much from audio? [06:39] User_UnFriendly, coz there is vim [06:39] scott, I'd have a look and see, its "possible" you could allocated ram to the video at boot. I think your problem is memory switching. Neither your audio card nor video card have their own ram so they're going to be messing with the swap file for it whenever required. [06:39] ohh.. and it sometimes cuts out. rarely.. but still does it when i play quakelive [06:39] scott, thats pretty much what I think yeah, its video stealing the ram causing audio to puke. [06:39] icarus-c: that's the real reason, or you making a joke [06:39] hehehe [06:39] ok i did that. ty very much AbhiJit. but i can't make them my user ownership. they are stuck in root ownership [06:39] i just updated to the 10.10 beta from 10.04, and now i can't connect to wireless networks anymore.. i can still see them, but the connection never goes through, any ideas? [06:39] User_UnFriendly, when there is vim, you don't need nano, right?... [06:40] rusivi: WOO HOO! Thanks [06:40] yeah [06:40] i tried chown username:username didn't work [06:40] scott, most bios's do allow for an allocation of system ram to the video if onboard...I'd have a look and test. [06:40] mokkan, you sure [06:40] recheck [06:40] Blue1: I'm so syked it worked out for you [06:40] i'm not a fan of vim [06:40] sorry [06:40] User_UnFriendly, and fedora people need vim more than nano i suppose [06:40] rusivi: thanks a million! [06:40] zain, yeah i click on the network manager icon and click on "linksys" and it tries to connect and fails [06:40] Blue1: np glad to be of assistance [06:40] dendrite: chown perm file_name [06:40] it was working just fine a few hours ago before i updated [06:40] so u think allocate more to video or less? [06:41] User_UnFriendly, and ubuntu want to be "newbie-friendly" so ubuntu got nano [06:41] scott, I [06:41] uh wait for someone to assist you,if not post or forum or make a urgent bug report ;) [06:41] scott, I'm betting on allocating MORE to the video, you will have no control over the audio ram.

[06:46] very nice [06:46] to me it seems a tad slow [06:47] heh [06:47] icarus-c: yes, but pdfedit has no documentation on how to do a simple text edit. [06:47] not here [06:47] I have placed my script in /etc/init/ but upstart doesn't seem to run it, ether with "start myscrip" or when ubuntu start. Help? [06:47] well boot is fast [06:47] does anyone know a good program for organizing music on ubuntu 10.04? something like cowbell that can retrieve song info because cowbell isnt working [06:47] Blue1, pdfedit works too but just way toooo slow.............

[06:57] Maverick was an awesome movie starring Mel Gibson about card games, guns, fast hands, and empty wallets. [06:57] join #kpli-bogor [06:57] so the wireless problem i was having with maverick.. i tried the older kernel i had installed (2.6.32) and my wireless works perfectly now| could this be a bug, or is there just something broken on my system? could this be a bug, or is there just something broken on my system? [06:57] mokkan: you are on new maverick, its support is in #ubuntu_1 i think :p [06:58] alright, see that's what i wanted [06:58] thanks [06:58] its also mentioned by the bot if you read what the bot said in full detail [06:58] it's not ubuntu_1... [06:58] it's ubuntu+1 [06:58] Doyle: yes my bad ubuntu+1 [06:59] Doyle: sowwy :) [06:59] hey [06:59] if you really want to get crazy try ubuntu+2 0o0 [06:59] is there anyone out there who has some experience diagnosing device permission issues? specifically a webcam? been at it for awhile now and am completely and profoundly stumped o_0 [06:59] im new on linux [06:59] i need help [06:59] i dont have audio :S [06:59] Tik, Thanks for the help earlier, it booted from the hd, and did update-grub, so i'm really happy!!! [06:59] when i put alsamier on the terminal [06:59] Card: USB Internet Phone by TigerJet ? [06:59] ? Chip: USB Mixer ? [06:59] ? View: [Playback] Capture All ? [06:59] ? Item: PCM [06:59] G0di-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:00] Eighteens: very nice [07:01] bak [07:01] I don't think USB audio is supported well, I could be wrong however [07:01] phil.. no go with the video .. changed it to 512 stil same issue:-( [07:02] ok. if i wanna see the linux source code, aside from downloading the kernel from kernel.org, how would i see it in ubuntu? (reason i ask is cuz is linux/open source is touted as "free".) so where is it? [07:02] scott, sorry about that, its about the only thing I could think that might help. [07:02] dendrite: apt-get source packagename [07:02] Tik, mind answering another question? Is there a image editor, package comprable to photoshop or better for ubuntu? [07:02] any luck scott__ ? [07:02] another thing i noticed was if i have music playing and i open up the wine config [07:02] could i apt-get source ubuntu? [07:02] Eighteens, Gimp [07:02] as soon as i click on the audio tab my music cuts out [07:03] Eighteens: the best option would be GIMP [07:03] dendrite, its available in the ubuntu repository apt-get source linux-kernel iirc [07:03] no luck gb [07:03] scott, yeah, wine is going to want to "OWN" the enviroment. [07:03] Oh thanks Phil_in_london [07:03] dendrite: no, you need the package name, linux-image-generic for example [07:03] o ok ^^ [07:03] :) [07:03] how exciting [07:03] so now picasa is out of the picture [07:03] its all about wine being the issue [07:03] Eighteens: enjoy linux [07:03] scott, it always was about wine, picassa is just a by-product of the same issue. [07:04] scott__: did you get picasa from google site? [07:04] so just by opening up the wine config sound tab what would make my audio cut out? [07:04] scott, as I said before, I don't have need for wine here, but are there settings in the config for it to tell it not to grab audio? [07:05] scott, yeah, wine is grabbing the irq associated with sound at that time. [07:05] i did get picasa from google site yes [07:05] phil.. looks like i can switch drivers in there? [07:05] scott, is there a disable sound option in the wine? [07:05] its set on alsa right now [07:05] TiK: So do I have to add a script to /etc/init.d? I thought 10.04 used upstart so it just needed a .conf file in /etc/init? [07:06] scott, you could try to switch driver, is there an ASIO option? [07:06] gino_: no there is a command i forget initsomething you can find it off google [07:06] ALSA, OSS, JACK, NAS, OR EsouD [07:06] those are the options [07:06] scott__: try alsa [07:07] how come on ubuntu server, when I create a user with useradd, when they connect through ssh, there's no ascii colours or tab auto complete or anything. why is it different than the main account? [07:07] scott, not sure if you're going to have a jack server running, but that might be the one that will "share" better than others. [07:07] alsa is checked already :-( [07:07] ill give jack a try [07:07] ok, i used mbrfix.exe to fix mbr, now there's no option for ubuntu in mbr boot, how can i boot to ubuntu and install grub with mbr? [07:07] Tik, i'm loving the colors, it's so nice after looking at xp for the last nearly 10 years [07:07] scott, oss is an option that will work, not sure if it will fix your problem, but it would be something you can select that wouldn't cause any problems. [07:08] Eighteens: ;) [07:08] i was never much for purple, but it's really growing on me :) [07:08] haha [07:08] jack still has issue [07:08] trying oss [07:09] tyfighter: that command only adds the user, it doesn't setup the users environment [07:09] Doyle: how do I set up their environ? [07:10] i can uncheck all of them, tried it and still have the issue, just with even opening that tab in the wine config.. wierd [07:10] witch program like tight vnc or vnc works on a mac to connect to differnt other os [07:10] scott, but don't test by opening that tab. [07:10] scott, change option, then test by opening picassa. [07:10] sorry wrong room guys [07:10] tyfighter: use 'sudo useradd -d /home/bob -m bob' then 'sudo passwd bob' [07:11] hello [07:11] scott, opening that tab is definitely going to cause the problem no matter what setting is in there, get back to the original issue, open picassa. [07:11] tyfighter: you can use the adduser command instead, it's a little wizard type deal [07:11] does anyone know any "msn" messenger for ubuntu that still supports camera? [07:12] FusionX: yeah you eliminated the grub options, so now you need to reinstall grub [07:12] Doyle: let me try one sec [07:12] FusionX: got a live cd? [07:12] FusionX: I hope [07:12] ok, opened picasa with the music running.. and it shut off [07:12] this is with all of the drivers unchecked in wine config [07:13] Doyle: what are you trying? [07:13] mkquist_: yes, can u tell me how to install it with mbr? [07:13] FusionX: mbrfix takes care of windows, but thats all [07:13] scott, looks like wine is an undisciplined little punk with behaviour problems :) [07:13] haha [07:13] FusionX: need a live cd [07:13] Doyle: it's still the same [07:13] yes it is [07:13] hi [07:13] mkquist_: i have it [07:13] gb__ um... right now I'm about half an oz into a new rum... not really doing anything else [07:14] i love pretty much everyting google has to offer, but.. why they have to go and screw this up is beyond me [07:14] scott, well, at least you know exactly what your problem is, not ram its wine, now, how to replace picassa...I'm still at a loss, I've always understood picassa to be a website, yet you are running wine to run it. [07:14] Doyle: i meant whats the issue [07:14] FusionX: need to boot to the live cd and fix grub now [07:14] tyfighter: ok, use the adduser command, type 'adduser --help' for an example [07:14] mkquist_: i want to know how to install grub with mbr (without removing mbr)? [07:14] picasa has a web albums feature [07:14] gb__ Ah, he used useradd and didnt' get any environment set. [07:15] so you can store your photos in the cloud [07:15] what is it that would cause permissions problems for webcam access (/dev/video0) for anyone but root? tried adding the user to the video group but that did nothing, and on my netbook where the webcame works, my user account there is not a member of video [07:15] FusionX: you don't 'remove' anything, you just need to let grub find the installs, windows and linux [07:15] scott, http://picasa.google.com/linux/ [07:15] but this is an app .. like fspot on steroids [07:15] ok Doyle [07:15] perhaps just redownload the app? [07:16] hey doyle [07:16] scott__: sure is wierd [07:16] that seemed to do it [07:16] FusionX: check here for instance... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [07:16] odd [07:16] ive done it over and over again.. 32bit and 64bit even with installing both ubuntu versions [07:16] working__: try 'You must give to the user (you) permission for use video devices. Go to System > Administration > Users and Groups. Unlock and select your username. In user privileges, you must enable the line "Capture video from TV or webcams, and use 3d acceleration", log off and log in [07:16] mkquist_: ubuntu replaced mbr with grub when i installed ubuntu 10.04 [07:17] tyfighter: awesome, sometimes it's just about finding the working command [07:17] how do I restart my client I use to access windows share? [07:17] /etc/init.d/smb: ERROR: cannot open `/etc/init.d/smb' (No such file or directory) [07:17] thanks [07:17] do you all use reg. ubuntu? [07:17] ? [07:17] 'reg.'? [07:17] ubuntu or kubuntu or xubuntu? [07:17] or any of the other ones [07:17] just ubuntu here. [07:18] scott__: this channel is for the ubuntu distribution, there are other channesl to get support for the others. [07:18] Doyle: that option isn't there in the panel. and on my netbook where the camera works it isn't there either [07:18] ok ic [07:18] i just installed mint today [07:18] but came back to ubuntu [07:19] FusionX: well, not technically, at least it shouldn't, and has not with any of my installs, but grub2 does get a little confused, I've noticed with Win7, but that link should help... sometimes you have to 'help' grub with the windows partitions. Like I said I've only found this to be true with Win7 [07:19] scott, so, is the biggest feature you need from picassa the cloud? [07:19] okk [07:19] *ok [07:19] no i dont even use that feature of picasa [07:19] scott__: ubuntu, not xubuntu and not kubuntu, thats what i am using [07:19] nice [07:19] how do I restart my client I use to access windows share? [07:19] without logging out that is [07:20] i just use it to organize photos easily [07:20] and video [07:20] scott__: correct correct, that is what picasa is for [07:20] working__: and you've added the users to the video group? checkout the permissions with 'ls -la /etc/video0' [07:20] and do redeye reduction, cropping and abunch of other stuff [07:20] anyone has an idea on my question? [07:20] scott, you might want to find time to learn gimp [07:21] do i remove software and all the crap that came with it if i downloaded it through terminal? it doesnt show up in ubuntu software center [07:21] Doyle: when i run 'ls -la /etc/video0' i get 'ls: cannot access /etc/video0: No such file or directory' on both computers. working and not [07:21] scott__: Chat in #ubuntu-offtopic if you don't need help. thanks [07:21] i know gimp, but thats not what im talking about [07:21] !empathy > DarkSector [07:21] DarkSector, please see my private message [07:22] im talking about pluggin in my digital camera and importing photos and video [07:22] how do i remove software and all the crap that came with it if i downloaded it through terminal? it doesnt show up in ubuntu software center [07:22] being able to do that easily is the biggest thing because i take lots of photos [07:22] and lots of video [07:22] working__: sorry, my bad, that dir doesn't exist in 10.04 anymore [07:23] then later on i wanna be able to browse through them, fix some redeye. [07:23] how do i remove software and all the crap that came with it if i downloaded it through terminal? it doesnt show up in ubuntu software center [07:23] scott, yeah, I understand that, still, since its nothing more than a mounted memory stick, I fail to see the difficulty in just using it naturally. It should in fact mount as a drive as soon as you plug it in, and thats with just stock ubuntu. [07:23] Chaos2358: what do you mean 'downloaded through terminal' [07:23] picasa automatically finds the eyes in the pictures and fixes redeye [07:23] working__: 'ls -la /dev/video0 [07:23] gimp no can do [07:23] well, gimp can, but you need to add scripts to it. [07:23] right just a memeory stick [07:24] Chaos2358: dpkg? [07:24] what is 0775 file permission? [07:24] oh well, I guess you're stuck running wine for your camera :( such a waste. [07:24] Chaos2358: thats how you control the 'packages' at the command line at least [07:24] Doyle: i get 'crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 2010-09-29 14:08 /dev/video0' on the broken machine and 'crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2010-09-29 14:08 /dev/video0' on the working machine. does that '+' mean anything? [07:25] well, there is a new photo app coming out [07:25] well.. its being worked on [07:25] someone in here gave me a link and the link gave me instructions to download guayadeque step by step with alot of different packages i dont like it and want to remove it along with the other 200 mb of stuff it installed but it doesnt show up in ubuntu software center [07:25] i forget the name of it [07:25] Chaos2358: you can 'man' dkpg [07:25] Doyle: i've verified that the device is seen with lsusb, and that drivers are loaded via lsmod. and the camera works as root happily. === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [07:25] Chaos2358: in terminal and it will give you the 'options' [07:25] Gryllida, if you want all to have rw then chmod a+wwwrrr myfile [07:25] ubuntu is going to start using it in base distro instead of fspot [07:25] im really new to ubuntu so i have no idea what youre talking about mkquist [07:25] Doyle: this is a built-in webcam on a laptop btw, if that makes any difference [07:26] working__: yea, it's not a driver issue, it's a permissions thing. Lots of people have this issue [07:26] it has what im looking for but it wont import my video :-( [07:26] Doyle: it just confuses me because a group problem would be the first thing i'd try, but my account on the working machine has no relation to the video group whatsoever that i can find [07:26] phil_in_london: is 0775 same as all have rw? [07:27] anyone, is 0775 same as all have rw? [07:27] (a+rw) [07:27] Chaos2358: well, if your talkin about command line and installing dkpg is how its done. Thought that was your question... [07:27] gryllida, a+rw is only going to effect the first of three sets of rights. [07:27] Gryllida: it's read exe exe [07:28] gryllida , a+rwrwrw or a+rrrwww or a+wwwrrr, that would allow everybody to read and write, want everybody to read but not write? a+rrr [07:28] shotwell [07:29] anyone use shotwell? [07:29] mkquist ok lemme explain maybe you can help a guy gave me a link to a websit which had all of the commands needed to download and install guayadeque music manager but i dont like it and want to completelly remove it and everything else that came with it in a total of 203mb. how do i do it [07:29] ok working__ try this 'sudo chown root /dev/video0' [07:30] he's prob not in the video group [07:30] anyone running meerkat yet? [07:30] Doyle: no change, but it was already owned by root according to the earlier ls of it [07:30] scott__, all in #ubuntu+1 are running [07:30] working__: the goal is to get the + added [07:30] and that's just how the dev file is created upon boot [07:31] ty abhijit [07:31] Doyle: ahh (what does that + signify?) [07:31] hi [07:32] Doyle: huh, now it works. looks like it just took a sec? o_0 (and answered my own question via google, ACLs heh) [07:32] doi phu` du, ta biet dau ngay mai [07:33] Chaos2358: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto [07:34] hi [07:34] working__: the + is a sticky bit, it's use don public folders [07:34] mkquist thanx this helps alot [07:35] working__: glad it worked. there's a command to change the sticky bit, but chown's just as quick in simple situations like yours [07:35] Chaos2358: here is an example of actually doing it.. but with a diff package of course.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=16294 [07:35] i think i have a unique problem. GT220 audio card that lets sound bypass via DVI with windows, but cant figure out with ubuntu [07:35] Chaos2358: hope I've helped [07:35] i will appreciate any suggestions [07:35] Chaos2358: take care [07:35] Doyle: yeah, i'm looking stuff up now. i had *no* idea this functionality was there. i always wondered how ubuntu always worked for video/sound/etc without any user ever actually being added to those groups o_0 [07:36] working__: it's the MAJOR difference in permissions with ubuntu === neutrino is now known as tar- [07:36] lactocoli: have you looked at the alsa page? http://www.alsa-project.org/ [07:36] working__: I really like it, makes the world a bit easier [07:36] mkquist I have. But sound through [07:37] DVI.. isnt that weird? [07:37] dits [07:37] Doyle: no doubt. thanks so very much for the help kind sir =) [07:37] working__: anytime. enjoy the webcam. [07:37] Doyle: might be a work in progess... [07:38] Doyle: sry, wrong person [07:38] hi i am using ubuntu10.04 i need to install packages simultaneously but i cant open synaptic package manager more than once so my question is how can i use multiple synaptic manager? [07:39] prabhu: i think you can only open one at a time [07:39] prabhu, why would you want to do that, how could it understand current dependencies? [07:39] prabhu: but you can install mutiple packages [07:40] ya i know but for browsing packages i need it [07:40] prabhu: once one has a 'lock' on that its the only one allowed... not sure why you would want more that one though [07:40] while installing some other packages [07:41] so no other way to use it multiple times kis there any other software like synaptic manager [07:41] Doyle: now to figure out why this happened when the webcam worked before and why pulseaudio stopped functioning at exactly the same time for no discrnable reason and no user-changes to the system >_< [07:42] prabhu, all the different methods are going to lock the process, there is apt-get install, but it will do the same thing. [07:42] prabhu: nope [07:42] there is apt-cache search [07:43] thank you friends i understood [07:43] Ryen, needaa tlkk to you mannggg [07:44] working__: the answer will be in /var/log/kern.log or maybe even Xorg.0.log if it's hardware prompted [07:44] mkquist_: i don't want to remove windows bootloader, i want to be able to boot to ubuntu with windows bootloader (like as in wubi, one can boot to ubuntu with windows bootloader.) [07:45] Doyle: yep, but that's for tomorrow. for now, beer then sleep =) [07:46] working__: good luck. oh, check /var/log/debug also. [07:47] Hey Everyone ;) [07:47] FusionX: grub2, wont 'remove' anything. It will just find the operating systems and hand off the boot loading the whatever is installed. I've used it for winXp and win7 with sucess, but like I said, from my experience, it can get a little 'confused' with win7 [07:47] FusionX: it doesnt take away anything, it just links to whatever is installed [07:48] mkquist_: windows bootloader -> grub -> ubuntu. is that possible? [07:48] switch grub and the windows one [07:48] Open (not Free) BSD is a good program to add or delete operating systems in from the bootloader. [07:48] FusionX: talk like that won't get you any friends. [07:49] ha! [07:49] Doyle: ? [07:49] did you just call openbsd a "program" lol [07:49] windows bootloader... *shakes head* lol [07:49] FusionX: never done it, never needed to, so never tried. Grub seems to be the easier answer, windows like to just play with itself... no jokes, just an observation... you can google that part [07:49] ok thanks for the info [07:50] windows bloatloader [07:50] easy BCD is a windows bootloader to restore the windows bootloader [07:50] FusionX: really, I've read that you can use windows boot loader, but why bother? [07:50] FusionX: grub does do it fine... Hell, this machine dual boots winxp and ubuntu and has for years fine [07:51] Isn't OpenBSD a program that allows the user to add and remove operating systems within "Windows BootLoader"? [07:51] *Googles* [07:51] FusionX: I just found that while the new grub... grub2 has many advantages, it does get a little confused w/win7 [07:51] mooshi, it is an operating system. [07:51] MooshiMuushi: OpenBSD is a linux distribution, I'm not suer what he was talking about [07:52] MooshiMuushi: no OpenBSD is a different form of linux === mue__ is now known as mue [07:52] no [07:52] MooshiMuushi: very similar, to OSX [07:52] openbsd is not linux [07:52] at all [07:52] EASYBCD!!!! === marcus_ is now known as jukibo [07:52] That's it :) [07:52] blakkheim: ok a kernel... fine then [07:52] Doyle, mkquist_ , I see :D [07:52] blakkheim: sorry for that [07:53] mkquist_: actually, OpenBSD is not a different form of linux :) [07:53] mkquist_: it's more than a kernel too === jukibo is now known as marcus_ [07:53] blakkheim: haha, it's unix... POSIX compati anyway [07:53] EasyBCD was what I was talking about ;) Sorry. [07:53] !ot [07:53] #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! [07:53] blakkheim: i stand corrected, but its not a 'boot loader'.... lol [07:53] can someone help me getting my ati card working on ubuntu? [07:53] sry, i thing this is trying to go off topic... just got checked... [07:54] Anyway, enough about "EasyBCD". I have a question! :D [07:54] AbhiJit: sry for that, got lost [07:54] it's kinda slow anyway. Whats' the Q MooshiMuushi [07:54] Is there a way to use both ethernet + wireless at the same time. Windows could do it ;) I'm very sure Linux/Ubuntu can :D [07:54] mkquist i used the information you gave me but it didnt work. it is saying that the package is not found when i try to remove it through command line i used the kpackage kit too and it isnt finging it please help [07:55] mkquist_, np [07:55] MooshiMuushi: plug in the cat5 cable and connect to the WAN [07:55] AbhiJit: =) [07:55] Doyle, I'm with Ubuntu so..eh :D [07:55] Doyle, Sorry, can you go into more detail? [07:55] MooshiMuushi: not much benefit other than redundancy if the wireless is on a different line than the cat5 [07:56] I think this started as a dual boot question.. [07:56] MooshiMuushi: it's a dual boot problem no? [07:56] MooshiMuushi: trying to boot windows/ubuntu... correct? === neutrino is now known as tar- [07:56] Doyle, I remember reading about this, and the thread said that Ubuntu will put the ethernet cable priority ahead of wireless. [07:56] sry, started with FusionX [07:57] FusionX: are you still here? and have a boot problem? [07:57] no [07:57] mkquist_, Nono, I'm 100% Ubuntu :) [07:57] sry then.. my bad [07:57] MooshiMuushi: hardline will have priority 100% of the time. THe only situation where wireless takes priority is on mobile devices [07:57] Doyle, Therefore cutting the internet from the wireless. [07:57] Doyle, Mobile Devices? Laptops? [07:58] MooshiMuushi: wireless enabled cell phones [07:58] mkquist_: i wanted to use plop with windows bootloader, thats why i asked. [07:58] Doyle: wireless will have priority if is the default route [07:58] finally... [07:58] ok can someone help me? i followed the command line instructions given to me in a link to install GUayadeque as well as alot of stuff with it. I now cant figure out how to remove it because it isnt showing up with apt-get purge guayadeque [07:58] 折腾了半天，终于进来了 [07:58] !cn [07:58] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [07:59] greppy: but that'd have to be configured, obviously he hasn't reached that point yet. I don't think there's a way to load balance network traffic with the default install of ubuntu. [07:59] FusionX: ic [07:59] Doyle, So you're saying that using both Ethernet and Wireless works? [07:59] Doyle, At the same time that is. [07:59] MooshiMuushi: if you want to utilize both connections you need to find a 'load balancing' solution for your networks [07:59] ok can someone help me? i followed the command line instructions given to me in a link to install GUayadeque as well as alot of stuff with it. I now cant figure out how to remove it because it isnt showing up with apt-get purge guayadeque [07:59] Chaos2358: you obviously didn't use the package manager to install it so ofc it won't show [07:59] Doyle, Load Balancing? [08:00] moetunes so how do i remove it? [08:00] FusionX: advantage over grub... just curious, seems to need grub [08:00] Chaos2358: did you have to do configure and make install for it/ [08:00] ? [08:01] MooshiMuushi: yea, load balancing is a methodology utilized in computing (and other things) to distribute requests to multiple resources relatively evenly (balanced) [08:01] moetunes yes. i think [08:01] !checkinstall | Chaos2358 [08:01] Chaos2358: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [08:01] Doyle, Do you want me to explain the situation to you, so that this will be more easier for you? [08:01] MooshiMuushi: I think Pgpost2 is your solution... greppy do you have another suggestion? [08:01] mkquist_: can u link me a tutorial of how to configure grub so that -> first it boots to windows bootloader -> grub -> ubuntu. like as in wubi. [08:01] Chaos2358: check in the build dir to see if there is an uninstall script [08:02] Doyle, ? [08:02] How can I stop the "Broadcast Accounts" window from popping up all the time on ubuntu? [08:02] MooshiMuushi: sure, what's your goal? [08:03] moetunes forgive my stupidity but who where when what why and how [08:03] moetunes the web page i got the command lines from has no removal instructions [08:03] Chaos2358: I'm too far away to see how you installed it... [08:04] mkanyicy: new install? Have you applied all updates and restarted twice? [08:04] ok want the command lines i used? [08:04] ehsantux [08:04] moetunes want the command lines i used? [08:04] FusionX: not sure even what your asking? grub will link to windows, but I'm thinking you are trying something different... Grub links to other O/S's and hands off the boot the them... at least as I understand it. [08:04] Doyle, very old update [08:04] FusionX: exotic operating systems maybe? [08:04] Chaos2358: ypasye 'em then [08:04] Doyle, i mean very old install, I am up to date [08:04] Chaos2358: paste 'em then [08:04] hi there, i plugged my external hd in, how do i view it in th console, its not showin with df [08:04] FusionX: have a peek at this, maybe a bit dated but should get you started. http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html [08:05] moetunes first i used this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:anonbeat/guayadeque [08:05] sudo apt-get update [08:05] sudo apt-get install guayadeque-svn [08:05] I have a PS3, and I stream my videos to the PS3 via the Ethernet Cable (doing this will allow faster transfer then Wireless). I connect the Ethernet cable to the PC to transfer the videos, but whenever I do, my wireless internet will cut. Therefore leaving me with my laptop with no internet, but i need the internet to do other thing. Is there a way to allow both Ethernet and Wireless to work at the same time? [08:05] Oops. [08:05] moetunes then this svn co http://guayadeque.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/guayadeque/Trunk guayadeque [08:05] FusionX: will look see [08:05] iam using virtualbox i need to share files can some one guide me plz..and my virtual os was windowsxp [08:06] mkanyicy: all the passwords stored are correct? [08:06] prabhu, I can help. [08:06] FusionX: ok at first glance that's old [08:06] FusionX: so the point is? [08:06] Yes, Doyle [08:06] greetz [08:06] moetunes better yet here is the link i got them from it will probably help more http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=174&cpage=1#comment-4915 [08:06] FusionX: wow, back in the win2000 days [08:07] can I burn a cd-r in the live CD? [08:07] mooshimuushi :thank u first i need to share files c [08:07] can I burn a cd-r in the live CD? [08:07] prabhu, First open VirtualBox. Then click on "Settings". That will open a new window, click on shared folder and enter in the location of the folder that you want to share. [08:07] who to do that mooshi [08:08] k where can i view my shared files in my virtual os [08:08] Chaos2358: there's no way I'm going through all that [08:08] prabhu, Sorry, then click on the image with the green plus sign on it. [08:08] moetunes ok [08:08] FusionX: all that is, is an old 'how to install grub' howto... but grub has gotten a lot more sophisticated since this was written [08:08] Chaos2358: man find for creation time for files is your best bet [08:08] moetunes ok how do i do that? [08:09] prabhu, A new window will pop-up. Click on the arrow and then click on "Others". This will allow you to browse around and find your folder. [08:09] Chaos2358: in terminal type man man to learn about manpages [08:09] Doyle, Are you there? [08:09] moetunes sorry for being illeterate so to speak but ive been using ubuntu for about a week now [08:09] ok [08:09] good morning [08:09] good morning [08:09] what's the easiest way to burn a driver for windows? [08:09] I have a hard drive that's formatted for Windows but must install a driver for Windows [08:09] can someone please suggest a way to burn? === Firebird is now known as Guest11734 [08:10] MooshiMuushi: yea [08:10] Chaos2358: if you open a terminal and type "man.. whatever" its the user manual for linux is all [08:10] prabhu, Did that help? [08:10] Chaos2358: and you did something without any research it seems - it is a hard thing to undo - check for an uninstall script [08:10] first time back on a chat for ages [08:10] Chaos2358: like man k3b for instance [08:10] Doyle, sent you a message. [08:10] didn't touch an IRC for at least 10 years [08:10] Well i got xubuntu and i don't get any sound at all ^^" weird [08:10] use nickserve to reserve a nickname for you [08:10] MooshiMuushi: you need to look into 2 things 'load balancing network ubuntu' and 'dual nick route traffic ubuntu'. You need a way to direct all http traffic to wireless only. [08:11] moetunes yea i was looking for a music manager and followed the link thinking it was what i was looking for but it wasnt [08:11] FusionX: hope that helps [08:11] can someone please suggest a way to burn? [08:11] Doyle, "direct all http traffic to wireless only." Does that mean I have to change my way of stream to wireless? === Guest11734 is now known as Flreblrd [08:11] MooshiMuushi: if you can get the load balancing going, which I think will be easier and better, your issues will be solved [08:11] Chaos2358: since it is a new install it might be quicker to just reinstall ubuntu [08:12] that's the thing [08:12] 20 min here for that [08:12] mkquist_: i want to boot into ubuntu just like as in wubi i.e. first it boots to windows bootloader -> grub -> ubuntu. [08:12] well it may be a new install but ive done a shit load to it in this week [08:12] :/ [08:12] MooshiMuushi: if you find a way to direct either application traffic (firefox i assume) or http traffic through the wireless device you'll have to remember to disable this option if wireless dies for some reason. [08:12] FusionX: did you install ubuntu on a separate partition? [08:13] YO [08:13] what program burns files [08:13] !topic [08:13] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [08:13] tech_ is it just muted? That happened to me with this install, everything setup properly, it just had mute turned on. [08:13] mkquist_: yes [08:13] FusionX: then grub, or more likely grub2 is your friend at this point... [08:13] shadaloo: k3b is just one of many burning programs [08:13] mooshimuushi: but i didnt get the way to see my shared folders but i did what u instruct [08:13] mkquist_: thx [08:13] Doyle, Ok then. I have to research these things and then I'll be able to understand you ;D [08:14] shadaloo: cdw [08:14] prabhu, So you added the shared folder? [08:14] FusionX: just google it, the ubuntu forums have a nice how too on grub 2 and its install/reinstall [08:14] what would be the most light xfce alternative.. right now on ICEWM [08:14] how to I re-setup my xorg [08:14] ya [08:14] i installed some propritary drivers for ati [08:15] MooshiMuushi: yea, start with learing about load balancing, it's not difficult, just new to you. go from there [08:15] prabhu, Now, login to Windows. Start --> Computer --> *Look on the left side of the window* Click on Network. [08:15] and then everything broke === neutrino is now known as tar- [08:15] hi, can you lead me to a room or site where can i find informations about buying cpu, motherboard or generally to build a pc most compatible with ubuntu? i.ve installed ubuntu to many devices but i would like to see it just running in my new pc that i will get. txs [08:15] Doyle, Ok then. Do you mind if I ask you some more question later on? [08:16] Guys, can I take the free space from a windows partition and add it to my linux partition? [08:16] MooshiMuushi: Sure, I'm here often. If not just leave me messages. With network load balancing you should speciffically look for 'network bonding ubuntu' and I think you'll find some good instructions online [08:16] MooshiMuushi: bonding basically makes both connections act as one [08:16] mooshimuushi:i am now in network and internet connections on windowsxp [08:17] Doyle, I found thi website that looked ok ;D http://www.howtoforge.com/network_bonding_ubuntu_6.10 [08:17] jimishol, just take any non-cutting-edge computer, and it'll work [08:17] MooshiMuushi: do you want to have all traffic go through both connections, or just be able to access your PS3 and wireless at the same time? [08:17] greppy, PS3 and Wireless at the same time. [08:17] KillGuta, you can if you did set up LVM, otherwise you can just create another partition to have it mount as /home for ex [08:17] MooshiMuushi: that'll get you started, but 6.10 is a bit dated, be careful because 10.04 is quite different... I don't think you can break anything too bad though so don't worry too much. [08:18] Flreblrd, what's LVM? [08:18] Doyle, BREAK?!?! [08:18] MooshiMuushi: the PS3 is on a differeint IP subnet than your wireless? [08:18] KillGuta, it's Logical Volume Management. That's some good thing making you possible to change linux partition sizes on the fly [08:18] greppy: I'm trying to give him a solution that won't affect the portability of his system and won't prevent any applications from accessing the network if one source goes down. [08:19] KillGuta, but if you didn't install linux using LVM, you won't be able to change an existing partition anymore [08:19] Doyle: the PS3 network is not connected to the internet. [08:19] prabhu, Computer --> Look left of the window and click on "Network" There you will find the shared folder. [08:19] MooshiMuushi: networking is 50/50, half the time the stuff we do breaks stuff, half the time it works out... we just shovel up the 50% that works so it seems like we're awesome [08:19] Doyle: if his wifi goes down, he still can't go anywhere [08:19] mooshimuushi:iam now in network places on virtual [08:20] greppy, Yes, PS3 is on 223.0.0.1 (IP Address) and LAPTOP is on (192.168.1.3). [08:20] * G0di- is away: i like LINUX! [08:20] prabhu, Is it there? [08:20] MooshiMuushi: I have to ask, why 223.0.0.1? [08:20] no i cant find it [08:20] greppy: yea but if his NIC is bound to a specific device or protocol he's nuts'd if his wireless goes down. A balancing solution would be redundant and not reliant on any application or portocol solution [08:20] Doyle, I'm scared now... [08:21] greppy, I can change it to my laptop's IP address. I just find it easy to do 223.0.0.1 :D [08:21] i think that i've changed partition's length several times with gparted from livecd because i needed these partitions not mounted [08:21] Doyle: all he needs is to have both nicks up at the same time, have the wireless be the default gateway. [08:21] mooshimuushi:i find only shared documents not shared folders [08:22] MooshiMuushi: you should be, networking can ruin a good tech leaving him weaving baskets the rest of his days.... be afraid [08:22] jimishol, yes, but it's not intended to be. While LVM is specifically done for that [08:22] Doyle, I'm having a read right now, and chatting with Grpeey about it. I'm sure you can see our conversation right? [08:22] yeah, I'd put the ps3 at 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.4, all set. [08:22] hey peeps [08:22] prabhu, Check again in the settings place to see if you set the folder to share correctly. [08:22] MooshiMuushi: using one of the other RFC1918 IPs would be a better solution for your PS3 network, but we'll get to that later. [08:23] was wondering if it would be easier to tunnel samba requests over a wan or to just do a vpn [08:23] Doyle, Ahaha, Love your jokes :D [08:23] greppy, RFC1918?!?! Ahh, so much to learn. :D [08:24] eryn, does it have to be samba? got windows clients do you? [08:24] mooshimuushi:i checked in device->shared folders on virtual os it shows i shared but i cant find it [08:24] Eryn_1983_FL, yeah, just do a vpn [08:24] whos joking... get into cisco and foundery commands and network setups and you'll understand [08:24] well samba is already setup on the network [08:25] now i am lookin at the faq [08:25] at the bottom of bridge vs routed vpns [08:25] OK MooshiMuushi I'm going to play some AssaultCube then hit the sack. Had a long night of partying... [08:25] Why do some programs only see 300GB of my HD when it has 320GB? [08:25] good luck. Thanks also to greppy [08:25] it says to routing is better if you want to do file sharing without setting up a wins or samba server. [08:26] Doyle, Ahaha, Ok. By the way. Urban Terror is better. :) [08:26] Doyle, Later. [08:27] KillGuta perhaps it uses different unit when measure GB i wouldn't mind [08:27] join #ubuntu-powerpc [08:28] ok just had a crazy thought of how to get the dataoff my fiends harddrive.. [08:28] netcat... [08:29] hi guys [08:29] if i chose check system then some message send to a database about my hardware. where can i see this database? [08:29] everytime i shutdown my oc a Kubuntu logoff screen shows [08:29] mkquist_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#Preserving%20Windows%20Bootloader is that the way? [08:30] becaus i installa a kde package to have something like fences [08:30] i m not sure if it was kde-desktop [08:30] or kubuntu desktop [08:32] i have ubuntu 10.4 [08:33] FusionX: that is [08:33] FusionX: a way [08:33] !enter [08:33] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:34] FusionX: the link i gave is another [08:34] mkquist_: which link? [08:35] jimishol, are you talking about the command dmesg ? [08:35] jimishol, or are you talking about the logs in /var/log/ [08:36] guys when will usb creating bootable disk be fixed under maverick? [08:36] FusionX: they both install grub... If you are using a current ubuntu install, id go with grub2, its what ubuntu now uses [08:36] i don't know i use greek version let me check.../usr/bin/checkbox-gtk [08:37] ubottu, heh... I remember saying that numerous times. that hitting "Enter" habit is a pain for those who actually try to read the whole channel [08:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:37] mkquist_: i meant a way for - windows bootloader -> grub -> ubuntu. [08:37] FusionX: my link... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows if your using the newest ubuntu install "If you fresh-installed Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 or newer, you are running Grub2." [08:38] how can i remove kde desktop to keep genome [08:38] FusionX: so you want to use windows boot loader instead of grub? is that the question? [08:38] can anyone here help me with mpd and ncmpc [08:38] Morning. Can anyone tell me what will cause a ubuntu server to stop allowing a windows machine from accessing the server? [08:38] Soraya, you can use Synaptic package manager, or simply select the GNOME Environment at the login screen before you log in [08:38] FusionX: cause its usually grub/windows boot loader... at least thats what I've seen, and easier [08:39] Soraya: open Synaptic Package Manager and remove the package kde-desktop [08:39] nvm i got it, thx anyway [08:39] FusionX: see, grub can easily boot to linux/anything and windows, but the other way around... harder [08:39] Firedblrd, i try to decide about cpu and motherboard proper for ubuntu before byuing pc but i'm not familiar with hardware specs unfortunately. so i look for some sort of database [08:39] Soraya: also Flreblrd's suggestion about changing at login is pretty handy ;) [08:39] gaelfx, Thanks,,i try that [08:39] any1 who can help me access tv tuner card..rit nw recieving hardware overlay surface error, am a newbie [08:39] gaelfx, :) [08:40] Flreblrd, I keep that in mind [08:40] !info sl [08:40] sl (source: sl): Correct you if you type `sl' by mistake. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.03-16 (lucid), package size 24 kB, installed size 188 kB [08:41] Morning. Can anyone tell me what will cause a ubuntu server to stop allowing a windows machine from accessing the server? [08:41] jimishol, aaah I see.. well there sure is a database for videocards, as some are well supported and some not so well supported. You'll find that list on the www.xfree86.org website. All other standard hardware will be supported by Ubuntu [08:42] Evo11, what is that server serving ? it could be numerous things.. like a bad configuration on either computer, a firewall rule, a bad routing, aso.. [08:42] many, txs [08:42] Evo11: samba got funked up maybe? or quit working... !samba [08:43] !samba [08:43] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[08:43] !cool [08:43] ah.. doesn't work [08:43] Using it as a file host. What l don't understand is it was working fine then all of a sudden none of the windows machines can't seem to access the server [08:43] sorry not file host but a file server [08:44] Evo11, does any other computer access the same file server ? [08:44] hey peeps back again i know [08:44] wb Eryn_1983_FL [08:44] does ntfs-config fix dirty windows ntfs filesystems [08:44] anyone 2 help me with tv tuner card...nt able 2 run tvtime recieving hardware overlay error [08:44] there are 2 other machines but none of them can access it now [08:44] or do i have to boot the stupid disk with windcd [08:44] or ntfsfix? [08:44] evol1, did you change your samba config or do any updates at the server? [08:45] Eryn_1983_FL, nothing can fix a dirty NTFS filesystem on linux [08:45] ugh i gota boot windows cd then damn [08:45] Eryn_1983_FL: what do you mean by 'dirty'? [08:45] no none at all.I only did updates after l couldn't get access from the window machines and that still didn't help [08:45] i can't mount it in linux its dirty the bit has been set [08:45] * Flreblrd never saw any intelligent disk... they all stay quiet and don't move [08:46] Eryn_1983_FL: did you try to reset the flags using gparted? [08:46] no i don't know how [08:46] morning [08:46] Evol1, have you done any testing? For example, are you able to create a new share that they can see? [08:46] ?? [08:47] mak_, obviously no one can help you with your TV card [08:47] no not that but l will try that now [08:47] Evol1, can those machines ping the server, or vice versa? [08:47] huh, ohh why is that so? [08:47] Eryn_1983_FL: I suggest giving GParted a go, should be easy enough to find in the software center, if you play around with it, you might find the problem [08:47] Hi Can wvdial record data transfer as well? [08:48] This is the error l got when l tried to share the folder "'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Invalid parameter." [08:48] everyone is a bad name [08:48] yes they can ping the server [08:48] mak_, probably because not everybody uses a TV tuner.. and on top of that they all are different. You can't be sure to use the knowledge gathered with 1 model to be used on the other model [08:48] its a commonly used groupname [08:48] try something else. [08:48] ok [08:48] is there a linux program which can record my data transfer like how man GBs up and down [08:49] Eryn_1983_FL: when you say "the bit is set," what exactly do you mean? [08:49] ganadist, you'll wanna use tcpdump or something alike to record the data [08:49] hi all [08:49] can someone please help me wiht a little problem i am having with ubuntu server 9.10/ [08:49] !ask | toolbox [08:49] toolbox: 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. :-) [08:49] , i have been behind this now for days [08:49] toolbox, #ubuntu-server [08:49] ganeshran, forget what I said about tcpdump.. you just want a transfer accounting software and yes, that exists. But wvdial is not the one you're searching. [08:50] it means i have now shut down the system properly in windows casue it hangs and now i cant mount it in linux either to copy the files off [08:50] when l try to access the server from my window's machine l get the error "server is not accessible.You might not have permission to use this network resource [08:50] Flreblrd: I only want to record the amount of data transferred [08:50] mak_, I remember setting one up 12 years ago.. and remember the pain it was [08:50] Not the data itself. I am paying huge bills on my net connection :( [08:50] evol1, have you allowed read access in your config? [08:50] Eryn_1983_FL: ah, well, I think the only way is to mount it in Win and then safely remove it [08:50] ganeshran, yup, I understand what you want... searching the application doing that on freshmeat could be an idea [08:51] :)......no i think ineed to go through those [08:51] now* i need to... [08:51] ganeshran, usually I do that using my DSL modem.. it's a Fritz!Box, so it has that all included [08:51] Eryn_1983_FL: I'm pretty sure GParted can't even pull off that magic [08:51] far as l know yes l have cos it was working up till 2days ago [08:51] Evol1, have you been changing any rights on the server at all? Been using chmod or chgrp lately? [08:52] no nothing at all [08:52] Flreblrd: I have a wireless data card, and they don ahve a server side logging software. But its horriblly outdated and takes 2-3 days to update [08:52] phil_in_london, Evo11 has it stopped working since he last updated samba to a newer version [08:52] yeah, that was my first question [08:52] once the server was first setup l would only log onto it when l think there are updates for ubuntu [08:52] , i wish i had been using windows now [08:53] mak_ for a tv tuner ? arf :) [08:53] i'l just boot a cd of windows xp then hehe [08:53] no. I updated the server when it had stop allowing my window machines to gain access [08:53] como accedo al de spanish [08:53] ganeshran, yes, you search something like MRTG in fact [08:53] !es | norman_ [08:53] norman_: 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. [08:53] the last resort for me is to format and then re-install the server [08:53] ganeshran, trying to find some kind of similar application for you [08:53] Flreblrd: what is MRTG? [08:53] , bcos things are bit easy there [08:53] Flreblrd: Thanks :) [08:53] mak_: I think Mythbuntu forums might be a better place to look for help with a tuner card, most of those folks tend to know about those things [08:54] mak_: or xbmc [08:54] Evol1, what rw rights are set on the folder you are sharing? Eg: -rwxr-xr-x 1 phil phil 104 2010-09-27 12:26 test [08:54] ganeshran, MRTG is an application taking the count of traffic going through routers or SNMP-able equipment [08:54] mak_, no pain... no gain :) [08:55] xbmc rocks... I must say.. that's a fine development they did there [08:55] I just have normal read and write options on the folders that l need to have access to from the workstations [08:55] gaelfx, thnx is there a network of that kind or will i have to google [08:55] Flreblrd: I found a link. I am looking to see if its useful http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html [08:56] Evol1, have you checked lately? [08:56] flreblrd, well said bro [08:56] know is it possible to execute commands at authentication with GDM ? [08:56] i'm thinking wouldn't it be a good idea if you could configure GDM to take a picture with the webcam at failed login [08:56] yes l have and still can't get it to give the workstations access [08:56] guys under ubuntu maverick rc no bootable usb disk works [08:56] ganeshran, http://www.monitortools.com/traffic/ <- that's your page to get good names of applications [08:56] Evol1, so, you are assuming that everything has stayed the same with the rights, you do have all the r's and w's where they need to be? [08:57] ganeshran, aaah well you got it yourself.. perfect [08:57] can not creat ubuntu 10.04.1 usb or its stuck and nothing comes up [08:57] anyways thnx guyz am out of here [08:57] Flreblrd: Thanks. By the way will this slow my connection or anything? due to monitoring? [08:57] yes that is correct [08:58] Evol1, and no one has access to change the user/pass you've set for the samba share? [08:58] no one else has access to it. [08:58] if there is a problem then only l have access to the server [08:59] Evol1, any chance the workstations have been updated? Perhaps had a firewall added, or turned on? [09:00] the firewall has always been on.But l did put it off to see if l could get access to the server and that also failed [09:00] Hi bandwidthd is asking me for a subnet [09:00] what is that? [09:01] 255.255.255.0 [09:01] Evol1, how are you managing the samba, editing the conf directly or swat? [09:01] ganeshran, nah, it won't slow it down a bit. All it _might_ do is take a few % CPU usage [09:01] hey guys i'm having a problem with nautilus? [09:01] #croogo [09:01] when i try to open my home folder or any "places" entry in the menu it tries to open with archive manager [09:02] just started randomly doing this a few minutes ago [09:02] accessing it from system then samba, I haven't edited the samba.conf as lm still noob at ubuntu and dont' wanna play around with something lm not sure about [09:02] anybody have any ideas? [09:03] mostholy, i've had that before but i forgot how to fix that exactly. wanna explore a bit with me ? [09:03] icarus-c, sure thanks! [09:03] mostholy, seems your default filebrowser has been set to the archive manager instead of Nautilus [09:03] Firebird, how do i changed that? [09:03] Hi, Im happy to anonce, upgraded to 10.10! [09:04] mostholy, now that's a good question, did you try to reinstall nautilus ? [09:04] mostholy, run command "gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/applications/component_viewer/exec" [09:04] mostholy, what is the output [09:04] Evol1, if this is happening to all your clients all of a sudden, then something changed at the server, without knowing the contents of the conf file it would be hard to determine what. [09:04] When you mount a HD in ubuntu by clicking the link, I noted it generates some kind of long code for the mount path. is this code random, or is it always the same based on some property of the HD? Regardless of what build of ubuntu you use? [09:04] Flreblrd, reinstalling nautilus shouldn't help, it is about user config [09:04] how do l go about sorting the conf file out? [09:05] I reinstalled, but it didn't help. icarus-c, running command now [09:05] hey, how can i add a program to run at start up? [09:05] by default screen rate was set to 65, and was flaming, then a reseted it to 75, nice done! [09:05] maybe l can tinker around with it seeing that the server is down === ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse [09:05] chris_, System -> Preferences -> Start up application [09:05] icarus-c, yes I know it's about the config.. but I never had that kind of problem.. I would stupidely enough go search in the config files in my home directory [09:05] icarus-c the output is nautilus %s [09:05] Evol1, go look for smb.conf [09:05] chris_, then drag and drop the app you want to run from application menu [09:05] Evol1, and then perhaps find yourself a site that explains the contents for you. [09:06] mostholy, what about "gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/filemanager" [09:06] icarus-c, i can't find Preferences in System [09:06] icarus-c it says nautilus [09:06] i 'm using xubuntu [09:06] chris_, well, i don't know xubuntu. but put the .desktop file of the app to ~/.config/autostart will do [09:07] icarus-c, i found that, thanks [09:08] what now? [09:08] mostholy, hold on i'm digging :P [09:08] k thx icarus [09:10] mostholy, could you run "gconf-editor" and search for (press ctrl-F ) "file-roller" ? [09:10] mostholy, also tick search by name & value [09:10] icarus-c "pattern not found" [09:11] mostholy, look for key where doesn't belong to "/apps/file-roller" [09:11] mostholy, press ctrl -F enter "file-roller" (without quote) [09:11] i did, icarus-c [09:11] it said "pattern not found [09:12] mostholy, um... try search roller instead [09:12] i have a partition of 490 gbytes, and i want to resize it. but is an ext4 and the flag is boot. (the mount point is "/ " that i think is in the root). how can i resize it [09:12] pattern not found [09:13] ionut: have you tried gparted to do that? [09:13] mostholy, ah i think i remember how [09:13] mostholy, create a folder on desktop [09:14] done [09:14] mostholy, right click it -> open with -> nautilus [09:14] mostholy, or file browser from the menu [09:15] nice i dont know why didnt think of that! [09:15] thanks icarus-c! [09:15] mostholy, it works now ? [09:15] haha guess i uninstalled gnomenu for no reason [09:15] yep, works just fine! [09:15] thanks! [09:15] mostholy, right, now here is the fun part [09:15] k... [09:15] mostholy, now i added open with achieve manager for testing purpose [09:15] don't know how to remove it from the app list now :P [09:15] hahah [09:16] heh i'm not sure [09:16] all this is pretty new to me [09:16] don't worry [09:16] be happy [09:17] moetunes: yes, i tried with gparted. i can't [09:19] ionut: you might have data written at the end of the partition [09:19] I upgraded to maverick on my netbook and now ubuntu shows a login screen (it used to auto-log in) and if I click on my username and type my password, the screen goes blank for a second and prints some text, then shows the login screen again [09:19] the text goes by too quickly for me to read it [09:19] but it looks like some sort of error [09:20] AngryParsley: sounds like a graphics issue - #ubuntu+1 for maverick tho [09:20] d'oh [09:20] thanks [09:20] moetunes: what means that ? [09:20] :] [09:20] * AngryParsley moseys on over to the channel he should have asked the question in [09:21] ionut: it was a guess - if there is data at the end of the partition you can't resize it - is the partition full or close to being full? === 50UAARPQ2 is now known as Beeboob [09:22] moetunes: i have 460 gbytes free :D [09:22] can't seem to get the server right so lm gonna ma just re-install the server. Is there software that l can make a disk image of the server once it is installed so that next time l just have to re-mount the image? [09:23] ionut: you can't resize a mounted partition I just remembered - you might need to try from a live cd [09:23] that's a great ideea. i forgot that tooooo. thans bro [09:24] np :] [09:25] Evo11: try mindi and mondo apps [09:25] !info mindi [09:25] mindi (source: mindi): creates boot/root disks based on your system.

[10:47] lozoot: yep - I'm too busy to do your searches for you and read lots of web pages tho [10:47] Friar: the only window manager I've found that can do that is fluxbox [10:48] can somone please tell me how to use dpkg to resetup my xorg? I tried to install propritary drivers for my ati card and everything broke. I stopped using them but it is still very sluggish [10:48] I Installed XP guest using virtualbox with all the updates and the programs I need for work. I would like the present state to be frozen so that I can go back to it if some thing goes wrong in future. This way I will not have to start from scratch. What method should I use snapshots or clonehd? [10:48] moetunes: okay, do you think that updating to the 10.10 rc would work? [10:49] phoenix_: what software is that [10:49] lozoot: I couldn't say - I don't know where the issue is and where it needs to be fixed [10:49] bluetooth software. bluesoleil [10:50] phoenix_: you built this by hand? [10:50] st__, you could make symlink to /dev . like ln -s /dev/stdout ~/stdout [10:50] moetunes: well, i cant think of another option so im gonna try. [10:50] tensorpudding: downloaded from the hardware's webpage [10:50] razz1, snapshot [10:50] Is there another hard drive app besides Disk Usage Analyzer that would be a good one to use ? ? [10:50] phoenix_: it's almost surely tied to the kernel you compiled the driver with [10:50] lozoot: good luck :] [10:51] moetunes: thank you. [10:51] mxe5, what sort of tool you want [10:51] Running 10.4 [10:51] phoenix_: you probably have to build it again against the new kernel's sources, and do that every time you upgrade the kernel [10:51] tensorpudding: i just downloaded the deb [10:51] tensorpudding: i know that but i dont have the source [10:51] tensorpudding: i have only the compiled deb [10:52] phoenix_: you need to get the deb that matches your kernel version, then [10:52] icarus-c: Something that would be a nice GUI that would give me a more detailed output. [10:52] tensorpudding: they stoped support for linux [10:52] mxe5, what sort of information? like usage analysis ? [10:52] tensorpudding: only available for 9.10 [10:52] icarus-c: Yup [10:53] mxe5, SMART data? disk properties?...etc [10:53] icarus-c: Any of those would be ok. [10:53] phoenix_: they stopped development? [10:54] tensorpudding: ya for linux [10:54] icarus-c: Disk properties, how much soace is left, what files are taking more room, etc. etc. [10:54] mxe5, gnome disk usage analysis is pretty decent already. and for disk properties you could try palimpsest [10:55] icarus-c: Opps I meant "space" [10:55] phoenix_: you should probably find some kind of replacement for it then [10:56] mxe5, doesn't gnome disk usage analysis do the task? [10:56] the default bluetooth app is not able to pair [10:56] icarus-c: How about something that would give you report of the health or a type of disk chk? [10:56] how can start my ubuntu os in safe mode. If I hit esc during the reboot it just starts normal mode? thanks [10:56] mxe5, that's about SMART data. palimpsest does that [10:56] mxe5, gsmartcontrol also [10:57] phoenix_: if they don't support ubuntu anymore, you'll not be able to upgrade ubuntu any further [10:57] icarus-c: Cool - Thanks much Will take a look see.... [10:57] phoenix_: and keep using it [10:57] mxe5, oops palimpsest doesn't do smart :P [10:57] anybody please.

I can't see the the grub menu [10:59] tensorpudding, Ok did that but I will try again [10:59] icarus-c: Yea actually had forgotten how great that app is - looked at it 8/9 months ago and had forgotten about it. [10:59] tensorpudding: no you hold down shift for grub2 [10:59] escape is grub1 [11:00] dammit, i keep forgetting that [11:00] the wiki article on recovery mode needs to be updated [11:00] well, it mentions the fact that you need to hold shift, but in a footnote [11:01] if i wasn't lazy i'd register and edit the article [11:03] tensorpudding, thanks a lot that dit the job. I was pushing the esc way too early [11:04] is it possible to cut files in mc? [11:04] and paste them [11:04] dwarder, i doubt it [11:04] icarus-c: Just did a "hard drive" search in "Ubuntu Software Center" and found "GSmartControl" that looks promising. [11:06] icarus-c: Also "Graphical Disk Map" Thanks for input. [11:06] what shortcuts do you use to move between virtual desktops? [11:06] moetunes, does fluxbox replace nautilus? or just run with it? [11:07] dwarder: ctrl-alt-arrow [11:07] Friar: you can replace metacity - gnomes window manager - with fluxbox - nautilus is the file manager [11:07] !info fluxbox [11:07] fluxbox (source: fluxbox): Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager.

[11:08] oCean: like winkey+1 [11:08] to move to desktop one [11:09] Friar: good luck :) [11:10] whats a good port to use for qbittorent?

[11:47] moetunes: please don't start with name calling [11:47] everyoneis dumb [11:47] linzhavon, #gtk+ [11:47] he just needed to say smt to boost hes ego [11:47] linzhavon: a little, plus there isa gtk channel [11:48] TiK: please stop [11:48] ikonia: apologies but he set a precedent === elpasmo is now known as ElPasmo [11:48] moetunes: then dont rise to it [11:48] k [11:48] stop what? [11:48] i dont follow === Mak_ is now known as MakX [11:48] kwork: who are you talking about ? [11:49] abhiJit, thank u. [11:49] is vi and vim same? [11:49] pankaj_sharma: for most people, yes. [11:49] pankaj_sharma: it's a symlink to vim [11:49] pankaj_sharma: no [11:49] pankaj_sharma, no [11:49] pankaj_sharma, vim is improved vi [11:49] ok [11:49] no way pico ftw [11:50] TiK: he's not asking for an opinion, he's asking if its the same application [11:50] ikonia: i have no idea I was just saying everoyne is dumb we jsut use the OS its not like we created it [11:51] many systems, ubuntu included, don't have a real vi, just a symlink to vim [11:51] so why there is differnet package for vim? [11:51] vim is a superset of vi's features [11:51] well, i lied a little, it's a symlink to vim.tiny [11:51] !list [11:51] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [11:51] pankaj_sharma: the default install I think is for a stripped down version of vim. [11:52] pankaj_sharma: if you actually want what is the closest to the original vi, apt-get install nvi [11:52] vim.tiny is like real vim, but with some of the larger features cut out [11:52] they install the stripped down version so they save space on the livecd [11:52] vim vs nano [11:52] the real vim package is the official one that is provided from upstream [11:52] so roughly, in terms of features, vi < vim.tiny < vim [11:53] hmm [11:53] Dulak: I think it has more to do with the features that people want/need than space, I could be wrong, but... [11:53] it's very easy to install the full version, it will automatiecally be symlinked to vi and vim for you [11:53] nvi fits in there somewhere too === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [11:54] fro italian chatt? [11:54] !it | alfredo [11:54] alfredo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [11:54] No it's mainly about the space, because I don't know many people that use vi that don't want say syntax highlighting, which iirc is left out of vim.tiny === lozoot is now known as CapnPoopiepants [11:54] thanks [11:55] Hi [11:55] hi [11:55] is it possible to force do-release-upgrade -d only download the updates for a later installation ? [11:55] can u guys tell me.. where to find the code in vim (where it searches the string in a particular file). i just want the code. i have the source,but i dont know from where to start? [11:56] please I have a probleme to read video on html5 [11:56] I'm on a slow link but I'd like to be present when the actual update would do its stuff [11:56] you know how to change my keyboard input language [11:56] with chromium-browser [11:56] pankaj_sharma: better ask in #vim [11:56] pankaj_sharma: the layout of source code might be very complicated...there's no easy way for someone unfamiliar with the source to say [11:57] I use this website for test http://www.html5test.com/ [11:57] hi [11:57] oCean: everyone sleeping there [11:57] geraudk2000: what is this problem [11:57] pankaj_sharma: that does not make it an ubuntu issue, sorry [11:57] my website www.hddrecovery.pl [11:58] nirvanowiec: why are you pasting that here? [11:58] nirvanowiec: this is not a bulletin board for posting advertisements [11:58] i want to see on my screen one video with htlm5 [11:58] tensorpudding: i want to see on my screen one video with htlm5 [11:59] geraudk2000: and you don't see the video? [11:59] er irc.rendez-vous.be [12:00] geraudk2000: it's possible that chromium doesn't support the codec they use [12:00] tensorpudding: no, I'don't ..on dailymotion/html5 or another website [12:00] geraudk2000:chromium wont play video, plugins [12:00] geraudk2000: i think it supports webm, do videos on youtube work? [12:01] how t o change my keyboard input language??? [12:01] juk: ok [12:01] grigoriades: system > preferences > keyboard > layout [12:01] on windows i had a promblem playing video which were solved by installing the firefox plugins for that video type [12:01] grigoriades: System->Preferences->Keyboard [12:02] check keyboard layout [12:02] maybe it will work on ubuntu too [12:02] AndroUser: there is a mplayer plugin for that in synaptic [12:03] what browser support html5 on ubuntu, may be firefox 3.6.10 ?? [12:03] geraudk2000: chromium supports html5 [12:04] Chrome and as far as i know opera supports [12:04] geraudk2000: opera and firefox do as well to varying degrees [12:04] the official chrome does too [12:05] tensorpudding: how can I do to run it under chromium? [12:05] geraudk2000: what version do you have? [12:06] the last 6.0.472.63 (59945) Ubuntu 10.04 [12:06] chromium causes to many crashes i don't use it anymore [12:06] firefox is great! [12:06] actually, now that i think of it, the version in 10.04 might predate WebM support [12:07] though it should support H264. [12:07] I just do the test on http://www.html5test.com/ [12:07] Wait, I forgot, that one isn't included by default. [12:07] but I have 0/20 in local device [12:07] So I guess it only supports Theora. [12:08] That's pretty disappointing. [12:08] I've been happy using the official Chrome. [12:08] hell! === administrator is now known as Guest94337 [12:08] geraudk2000: The version in 10.10 will probably support WebM [12:08] same, the official chrome has been rock solid for me, and there is a repo for it so it updates nicely [12:09] there is nobody in the wxPython channel, so I ask it here: Does anyone know how to get the same effect as EVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER but with the tab key instead of the enter key? [12:09] geraudk2000: So if you wait 8 days, you can upgrade to it when it officially releases [12:09] !mint [12:09] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [12:09] tensorpudding: Ok I'm looking forward ubuntu 10.10 [12:09] Kruptein: just #python [12:10] juk omfg no I did it again, :p I always type #ubuntu instead of #python [12:10] geraudk2000: Your other option is to switch to Chrome, which has a PPA available to make it easy for you [12:12] Kruptein: why? [12:12] tensorpudding: ok, You have a link for me to do it? [12:12] the official chrome (beta) played every video fine for me on this page: http://www.html5video.org/demos/ [12:12] juk I don't know :p I go to both channels a lot [12:12] tensorpudding: I google it [12:13] http://www.google.com/landing/chrome/beta/ [12:14] Bonjour [12:15] !fr [12:15] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[12:16] cristina: not that sort of channel [12:17] brasero telling install cdrdao package. but its already installed. [12:17] hi! [12:18] AbhiJit: is it a version thing? [12:18] moetunes, cdrdao is the latest version installed [12:18] AbhiJit: and which version is brasero asking for? [12:19] moetunes, its not asking for version it tells that i dont have cdrdao at all install cdrdao but i have [12:19] !pm > pankaj_sharma [12:19] pankaj_sharma, please see my private message [12:20] AbhiJit: if all is from the package manager then you might need to file a bug [12:20] ok [12:20] moetunes, yah [12:20] we dont have a proper cd buring tool in linux [12:21] each time i need to guess which will work of them [12:21] AbhiJit: I prefer k3b myself [12:21] moetunes, cd burning tool is like casino to me! i never knows which one will work - its just luck [12:21] wodim wfm [12:22] though it isn't point and click, so i guess that's not useful for you. [12:22] pankaj_sharma, http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/text_editing/vim.html.en [12:22] AbhiJit: there's no reason it should be like that - is your install the default ubuntu? [12:22] moetunes, yes default ubuntu and when it comes to cd - luck [12:23] AbhiJit: I've never heard anyone else have that issue - nothing diff with the hardware? [12:24] no notihng differne [12:24] k [12:24] moetunes, now k3b is working. but if i come tomorow and insert same cd and tell k3b to do the same work as of today [12:24] then i am sure it will not work. and some other will work [12:25] Um [12:25] Idk if you can help me but [12:25] My laptop is... Bleeding? [12:25] Bleeding?! [12:25] AbhiJit: to me that would suggest a hardware issue - software isn't inconsistent like that... [12:25] Yes [12:25] The screen has like [12:25] liquid [12:25] You mean leaking? [12:25] coming out of it at some part [12:25] ##hardware [12:25] erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:25] and it looks like it's broken [12:25] but when i touch it it doesnt feel broken [12:25] it does sound like it's broken [12:25] erry: that's not an ubuntu issue, so it's offtopic here [12:26] sorry [12:26] moetunes, yah [12:26] Ubuntu does not cause screen stigmata. [12:26] and if it did, that'd be in the release notes. === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [12:27] moetunes, do you know how to create image of cd using command line? [12:27] iso [12:27] AbhiJit: not offhand bur\t there's plenty on the web for that [12:28] AbhiJit: not offhand but there's plenty on the web for that [12:28] moetunes, ok np [12:28] hello [12:29] hello aba_ [12:29] AbhiJit: if cd is in /dev/cdrom, the following is often suggested: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso bs=2k [12:32] Im trying to create a bootable usb with Maverick RC , with Startup Disk Creator, at 99% an error displays " Checksum didn't match " [12:32] hi [12:33] alket: did you do the iso md5 check or ask in the 10.10 channel #ubuntu+1 ? [12:33] alket: maverick issues in #ubuntu+1 channel [12:33] . [12:33] .. [12:34] hi [12:34] how can i configure which services start on system load? [12:34] ... [12:34] !autostart | cheater99 [12:34] moetunes, yes i did [12:34] cheater99: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [12:34] there is a new movie named "four lions",it's really funny,worths to see. [12:35] there is no system->preferences->sessions [12:35] xuekan: that's very offtopic here [12:35] moetunes: i'm talking about things like apache, squid, etc [12:36] on boot ? [12:36] cheater99: they should be started during boot [12:36] oCean:yeah,i know that, I am seeing it, and cann't help talking out.it's really worths to see. [12:36] !upstart [12:36] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [12:36] moetunes: yes [12:36] moetunes: how do i configure which ones do get started? [12:36] xuekan: please don't do it again [12:36] !startup | cheater99 [12:36] cheater99: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [12:36] cheater99: please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [12:36] moetunes: for example i have squid and squid3 installed, and i only want one of them to start at boot. [12:37] oCean:ok. [12:37] oCean: that doesn't work [12:37] !bum | cheater99 [12:37] cheater99: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [12:37] moetunes: thanks will do [12:37] cheater99: i meant this next one [12:37] oCean: thanks :) [12:38] cool [12:39] Hi, I wanted to test the release candidate. I downloaded the .iso and used "dd" to write it to a USB disk. But I can't boot from it? How do I make a bootable USB key? [12:39] unetbootin [12:39] !unetbootin [12:39] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [12:39] ok, different question now :) [12:40] radiomark: ^^ [12:40] you have to uncompress the .iso file ... all you did was burn a compressed file [12:40] i have had to kill synaptic (it was taking ages to select a package), this was not during install, only during selection. how do i unlock package managers now? [12:40] radiomark: support for the 10.10 RC in #ubuntu+1 please (as the topic of this channel states) [12:41] !aptlock [12:41] 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 » [12:41] oCean: Sorry, I saw my issue as general Ubuntu, and not specifically the RC [12:41] ah there we go, just had to move the lock file [12:42] is this channel supporting fluxbox? [12:43] another question: my bash takes ages to start up. probably because of the amount of binaries etc. how can i optimize this? [12:43] cheater99: amount of binaries? [12:43] cheater99: check if you do some expensive operation in ~/.bashrc [12:44] dified .bashrc [12:44] i hadn't modified .bashrc [12:44] Can I download the usb-creator program anywhere? Or even just do the process manually? I am not on Ubuntu, you see [12:45] radiomark: should be in System>Admin...> [12:45] radiomark: it is a linux app [12:46] floodbot war [12:46] cheater99: then i do not what can be cousing this... try running « bash --noprofile » is it slow too ? [12:46] moetunes: yes, I cannot find the code or a tar.gz or similar [12:47] The launchpad site does not have any downloads either [12:47] radiomark: it is more then likely an ubuntu app - you could browse ubuntu packages from ubuntu.com [12:48] !packages [12:48] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [12:48] moetunes: hmmm, yes. This is a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation then [12:48] http://packages.ubuntu.com [12:48] i just downloaded the ubuntu 10.04 lucid iso file...is there a way i can install fresh ubuntu distro without burning the .iso file? like i would like to install it using the terminal? [12:48] !install [12:48] 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 [12:49] can someone tell me how to make all files to associate with default applications which can open them properly. i mean i installed "ubuntu-tweak" and i see that there are many many audio files which are not associate with vlc. also i see that vlc just associating with 10-15 audio files. but i think vlc can open many many files from the list. so also gedit and gimp i think they are also not opens the files they had to. can we do something for it. there are mil [12:49] erUSUL: let's see [12:49] cool-aide: with a usb stick ? [12:49] is there any place ram usage is logged? [12:49] vu1kan: not afaik [12:49] vu1kan: "free -m" ; "top" ... [12:49] logged he said... [12:49] erUSUL: yes [12:50] wow [12:50] use wine for wow [12:51] hi,all [12:51] top doesn't do me any good, really, i'm wanting to know what application is suddenly sucking my ram(and i am aware of the fact that linux uses unallocated ram as a cache), i'll be watching a movie, and my ram usage will go from 40% to max in a matter of seconds...completely randomly. [12:51] vu1kan until it doesnot swap its okey [12:51] cheater99: and what is slow? « time bash --noprofile -c "exit" » in my system is real 0m0.007s [12:52] Hmmm. I have to admit defeat on this... I downloaded usb-creator.tar.gz, but all I get is some big python app. Isn't there a simple shell script (or similar) at its core which converts .iso to a USB image? [12:52] vu1kan top should show memory usage, can even sort by memory usage [12:52] vu1kan: well top can order by memory usage ( hit M ) [12:52] that's funny [12:52] hi [12:53] erUSUL: if possible yes...but i got it .iso file...not yet extracted or something.....is it possible? [12:53] after the fact? case in point: i had to zap my x server less than five minutes ago because something grabbed ahold of enough ram that i wasn't able to move my pointer\ [12:53] erUSUL: when i do that, it shows me very fast times. but if i type in "bash" in bash, the cursor hangs for 1-3 seconds, and i only get a prompt then. [12:53] radiomark: unetbootin can convert just about any iso to a flash drive [12:53] cool-aide: use unetbootin or the usb disk creator [12:53] when ubuntu release new version? [12:53] cheater99: maybe is the terminal app ? what xterminal do you use? [12:53] I have an old DELL laptop with an old PIII processor. My CPU fan is not running. There is nothing about the fan located in /proc/acpi [12:53] Dulak: unetbootin is a Windows app? Unfortunately I am on Linux, or OpenBSD [12:54] radiomark: it's a linux app [12:54] i have done "time bash --noprofile" and pressed C-d immediately when i got the prompt. real 0m4.109s user 0m0.676s sys 0m0.124s [12:54] radiomark: there is a windows version as well iirc [12:54] erUSUL: i use gnome-terminal [12:54] erUSUL: i remember trying it with other things, but let's see [12:54] linzhavon: hopefully the 10th of October [12:54] bash with -c changes its behaviour [12:55] rww: it's very amazing! [12:56] cheater99: if you do bash --norc --noprofile it should be nearly instant, but it won't have the environment that it normally does [12:56] cheater99: with crtl +d ---> real 0m0.942s [12:56] can someone tell me how to make all files to associate with default applications which can open them properly. i mean i installed "ubuntu-tweak" and i see that there are many many audio files which are not associate with vlc. also i see that vlc just associating with 10-15 audio files. but i think vlc can open many many files from the list. so also gedit and gimp i think they are also not opens the files they had to. can we do something for it. there are mill [12:56] i have the same problem in rxvt and xterm [12:56] Can anyone tell me how Ubuntu enables multi-head output without the use of xinerama - or why xinerama is necessary if X can apparently do it without it?!?! [12:56] quiescens: yes, it is instant [12:57] does ubuntu have gui ? [12:57] kooori, of course [12:57] quiescens: how do i go about figuring out what's up? [12:58] like im kinda new to this, so ubuntu is its own operating system with GUI yeah? [12:58] you can install Ubuntu Server without the GUI though [12:58] kooori: yeah [12:58] does it have driver support for new devices n stuff? ( question being is that im sick of windows) [12:58] Can anyone tell me how Ubuntu enables multi-head output without the use of xinerama - or why xinerama is necessary if X can apparently do it without it?!?! [12:58] erUSUL, quiescens: ok, the problem is definitely in ~/.bashrc after moving it out, i get instant bash [12:58] how should I create an installable USB-MEDIA for Ubuntu 10.04 from within Debian? unetbootin fails making a bootable usb [12:58] kooori, but technically the GUI shipped by ubuntu default is made by another community. but yea, ubuntu got GUI [12:58] kooori: It has driver support for a lot of devices. [12:59] =o [12:59] kooori: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ [12:59] good morning tensor [12:59] lets say i was to install it on another pc... do i need any other software besides the ubuntu ? [12:59] kooori: there's a livecd exactly for your purposes: boot up, use/test ubuntu and only after that, decide what to do [12:59] kooori, uh.......ubuntu is a Linux distribution, which distribute software [13:00] nice thanks for that sir :D [13:00] kooori: Installing Ubuntu is like installing Windows, you might need to download drivers afterwards, but in theory it provides what you need to be functional [13:00] so i gotta install linux then ubuntu your saying? [13:00] kooori: there is a *vast* collection of software which you can install/use after installing the base system [13:00] kooori, so you may consider ubuntu has thousands of software can be installed with a few clicks [13:00] kooori: Ubuntu is a Linux distribution, it provides all you need to start [13:00] ah nice [13:00] kooori: There is a large library of software you can install afterward though [13:00] you guys are very helpful :D [13:00] nice nice [13:00] can someone tell me how to make all files to associate with default applications which can open them properly. i mean i installed "ubuntu-tweak" and i see that there are many many audio files which are not associate with vlc. also i see that vlc just associating with 10-15 audio files. but i think vlc can open many many files from the list. so also gedit and gimp i think they are also not opens the files they had to. can we do something for it. there are mill [13:01] kooori: haha [13:01] hey guys how do i map my spacebar key to a different key like the windows key on the keyboard,My space bar is not working well [13:01] kooori: see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD [13:01] Dulak: Thanks, I found the Linux version. But it is a GUI app with lots of dependencies which are not available to me [13:01] kooori: Not all software that you're familiar with from Windows is available though [13:01] oh, #ubuntu is so pop. [13:01] ahhh [13:02] kooori: For instance, there is no Microsoft Office, but there is the alternative Open Office [13:02] What does Ubuntu use to realize Dual Screen setup? [13:02] ok [13:02] cheater99: in all likelyhood the slowest part of your .bashrc (assuming it is mostly default) is the part right at the end about completion [13:02] i have found the problem [13:02] kooori: If you have some applications in mind you should check to see if they are available for Linux.

[13:02] yes quiescens :) [13:03] does ubuntu get viruses [13:03] like is there a virus scene on it [13:03] hey guys how do i map my spacebar key to a different key like the windows key on the keyboard,My space bar is not working well [13:03] kooori: For some there are software replacements, for others there are not. [13:03] kooori, none i heard of [13:03] cheater99: stalls is a bit of a misnomer, its doing something, it just takes longer than you would like [13:03] =] [13:03] !virus | kooori [13:03] kooori: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [13:03] hi there [13:03] quiescens: what's the difference between that and "stalls"? [13:03] kooori: windows binaries are not supported in linux environments. hence the chances of viruses are almost nil [13:03] is "stalling" only when it's waiting for an unavailable resource? [13:04] rascal316316 ... have you tried pulling the spacebar off and cleaning the connections? [13:04] kooori: i think there is panda antivirus [13:04] What does Ubuntu use to realize Dual Screen setup? [13:04] cheater99: pretty much, don't mind me, i'm just picking at words [13:04] pankaj_sharma: clamav is better. but there is no need [13:04] quiescens: no, that's helpful, thanks [13:04] ManDay: depends on the video card [13:04] yeah [13:04] quiescens: i didn't realize the difference [13:04] why ever put a anti virus on a linux system when the anti virus is to against windows virus only.. [13:04] ManDay: i use nvidia on my dual-screen desktop, and intel on my dual screen laptop [13:04] quiescens: so i wonder if there's a way to make bash_completion execute asynchronously [13:05] icarus-c fileserver? === Weust`afk is now known as Weust` [13:05] icarus-c: in case you share files with windows pcs, you dont want to pass on files which have viruses in them [13:05] icarus-c: linux machine acts as router for viruses [13:05] icarus-c: you can clean a pen drive infected with a virus which might affect other windows boxes [13:05] i missed saying "unless you have windows system involved" :P [13:05] itself linux machines are immune [13:05] popey: What I mean is how does Ubuntu handle dual monitors BY DEFAULT? there is that "monitors" preferencesthing out of the box - what is it? xinerama? twinview? ??? [13:05] nopes i was going to open it and clean it up ... but i wanted to know if mapping one key to another one was possible [13:05] can someone please tell me a "file types manager" for Ubuntu ? (not ubuntu-tweak please) [13:06] nautilus [13:06] Manday: depends on you card. nvidia shits nvidia-settings for that [13:06] ManDay: again, depends on the video card [13:06] *ships === darek is now known as Guest88104 [13:06] err [13:06] ManDay: twinview is nvidia only [13:06] popey: I know - but ubuntu has something installed by default to get it working , no? [13:06] ManDay: yes [13:06] what does this preferences->monitors panel belong to? [13:07] ManDay: that wont do nvidia cards with the binary nvidia driver [13:07] can i run ubuntu on Virtual Pc on windows? [13:07] popey: so what is it? [13:07] ManDay: the nvidia driver installs nvidia-settings which replaces the monitors preferences panel [13:07] kooori, why not [13:07] ManDay: that preferences panel is good for non-nvidia machines [13:07] popey: and what is it? [13:07] xinerama? [13:07] ManDay: what is what? [13:08] that DEFAULT preferences panel for monitors that is working out of the box? [13:08] i just wonder because xinerama appears not be installed [13:08] ManDay: it doesnt use xinerama here for nvida or intel [13:08] or does X not need an additional extension at all to get dual monitors working?! [13:08] popey: indeed, but what DOES it use?! [13:08] ManDay: it doesn't "use" anything external [13:09] ManDay: the driver just supports dual screens out of the box [13:09] so X can do that all without additional extensions? [13:09] yeah [13:09] so what is xinerama good for then? [13:09] Manday: i have a dual display setup .. nvidia-settings did the trick without any complications [13:09] (on intel) [13:09] it configures your xorg configuration file automatically [13:09] ohhhhhhhh [13:09] ManDay: use xrandr now instead of xinerama [13:09] it can also screw your xorg.conf up nicely [13:09] so xinerama is just a convenience?! [13:09] !xrandr [13:09] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

Recently I made an update of my ubuntu and now I don't have networkmonitor and wireless [13:10] ManDay: not all cards have tools like twinview [13:11] ikonia: so these days one doesnt need anything but a correct xorg.conf [13:11] ManDay: some dont even need an xorg.conf [13:11] ManDay: pretty much, I still use xinerama fr some cards [13:11] ManDay: my laptop has no xorg.conf at all [13:11] popey: well, these days xorg is magic [13:11] it is xorg.conf.d now [13:11] can anyone tell me how to open terminal by using key alt+ctrl+f2 .. becuse its not opening in here.why [13:11] pure magic...

I was merely pointing out that your 5 years of no xorg.conf corruption doesn't outweigh my xorg.conf corruption [13:12] its not opening [13:12] thanks ikonia :P [13:12] pankaj_sharma, what about f3,f4...etc [13:12] nothing is working [13:12] can someone please tell me a "file types manager" for Ubuntu ?

[13:14] meh [13:14] hahah insult [13:14] hi all [13:14] consult :P [13:14] :D [13:14] (so your mousepointer cant get lost there) [13:14] ManDay: some ati(old) used to have that glitch [13:15] Can anyone tell me how to increase the font size in a tty for ubuntu 10.4? [13:15] ikonia: "glitch" ? [13:15] now that is a real feature! [13:15] popey: i will backup my system after 2-3 days. now i need to associate all filetypes (at least most of them) with all applications with needed. for example 7z is not opening with peazip or archive manager on me. i have to open it by clicking on "openwith" . ok maybe i can fix it for 10-15 filetypes which i know. but there are many many filetypes on any operation system. i use ubuntu . how to can make associations? [13:15] icarus-c: but i can pass ctl+alt+del command... [13:15] is there any force command on how to delete such file? [13:15] ikonia: i dont see how this relates to the type of card tho - preventing the mousepointer from going somewhere seems like a purely x related thing === administrator is now known as Guest66849 [13:16] ManDay: some old ATI cards used to have that behaviour as a glitch [13:16] icarus-c: why it is not taking ctl+alt+f2 .. and there is nothing written in vmware doc.. i think so [13:16] hello [13:17] pankaj_sharma, try: ctrl-alt-space then release space (still holding ctrl-alt) then press F2 [13:17] popey: i want if firefox can open 40 filetypes i want to let it to associate to all this files. also vlc, gimp gedit... that is my problem. how to do that ? [13:17] quiescens: any idea what bash_completion is for, actually? [13:18] cheater99: it's for auto completion of commands/files [13:18] quiescens: i can auto-complete commands normally without it..

[13:18] zara212, right click on the file -> properties -> open with . then select the default application to open the file [13:18] cheater99: not after a reboot, I guess [13:18] disable bash_completion in your ~./bashrc, and run bash [13:18] cheater99: when you open a terminal, you're alreay in a bash shell [13:19] cheater99: that's bash completion [13:19] is there any force command on how to delete such file? [13:19] bash itself does completion of filenames. bash-completion does completion of other stuff. [13:19] cheater99: that's proframming completion, [13:19] cheater99, if you got bash completion, you could enter "gnome-con" then hit [tab] , it should finish up gnome-control-center for you automatically [13:19] proframming? [13:20] icarus-c: yes. i have disabled that and can do it anyways [13:20] icarus-c: i tell you that i know that. but how to can i let to application to associate to all filetypes which can open properly ? i can not do this think to every frmat. there are many many formats which we are using. also we don't know what we can do for some programs.

However, I'm thinking offshore backups would be of benefit [14:06] This_Guy: why ? [14:06] In the event of a fire or tornado. [14:06] fire hazard ~.~ [14:07] Or theft [14:07] :| [14:07] This_Guy: ok, so purchase a remote server, or subscribe to a backup service [14:07] But isn't file structure lost with online servies?

[14:57] alket: typically you have to have a nationally recognized weather station there. [14:57] cool-aide, ok open a terminal cd to the Desktop if that is where the file is then sudo chown -R yourname nameoffile [14:57] what looks neat [14:57] cool-aide, then you should be able to delete it [14:57] jshanab_win7: refresh?

[14:59] coz_ i had to raise hell just to have compatibility with Oracle Java running through Ubuntu [14:59] then when u get please let me know too [14:59] jshanab_win7: only the current shell and childs from the shell you set/changed the variable in will inherit the new value [14:59] rusivi, understood... I have the openbravo free package here somewhere...if not to large I can add to dropbox hold on [15:00] anyone has an Ati mobility radeon hd? [15:00] nikkita: If your looking for server recommendations I will have to bow out gracefully as I'm still MSFT Server centric :( [15:00] the 4th one is 10.04 desktop edition [15:00] alket: then it must get them from some place else.. not sure where.. [15:00] but i dont underdtand why i got it 2 times [15:00] jshanab_win7: you can set variables in .bashrc in your homedirectory, to make them persistent.

I whant to know the cause of it and know a way to fix it . by the way I am booted onto the resccue session of gnome [15:01] so im confused [15:01] thanks [15:01] nikkita: You can do both via Ubuntu (games/social networking/social media) [15:01] rusivi, download now so I can delete it ...let me know when it is finished downloading [15:01] coz_: nothing happnd....i just typed wat u've instructed...and looking back on my desktop it's still there [15:02] coz_ ty [15:02] coz_ all set [15:02] anyone knows any internet cafe timers [15:02] rusivi: but will my 3 modem work? [15:02] with ubuntu [15:02] thats what im scared of [15:02] egoleo, still looking but give me a few minutes... I have to see about this termulous game [15:02] nikkita: Best way to find out is drop in the Live CD, do not do a native install yet, and test it! [15:02] and what if i want to switch back to windows :( my laptop never came with disks [15:02] oh ok [15:02] I installed mydms from the repos (document management). It's loaded and running but I'm looking for files in /var/www... nothing there but the default index.htm file.. where do I find the install location? [15:02] thnx [15:03] Solved, ok you downloaded the .run package ...yes? [15:03] Solved: usually a .run can be installed by making it executable (chmod +x filename.run) and run it: ./filename.run [15:03] nikkita: If you just Live CD for testing, you do not touch your Windows partitions in any way. [15:03] coz_: i believe so [15:03] but ive got 4 disks omg im confused :( [15:03] Solved, as oCean mentione you can right click that package go to Properties and the Permissions tab and tick the Execute box [15:03] ok [15:04] also can i have windows and ubuntu installed [15:04] so i can switch between both [15:04] coz_: i will try this [15:04] Solved, then open a terminal cd to where that package is and type ./tremu and hit the tab key to complete the name then just hit enter [15:04] nikita : you can dual boot :) [15:05] also i dont want to lose my 2tb of pictures and movies xD [15:05] nikkita: You could, via Wubi, but imho alone, dual-booting is like the dinosaurs, it's ancient and in the past. Virtualize and make your life easier. [15:05] hey guys [15:05] Solved: still, remember that software not installed from the official repositories are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk [15:05] rusivi , wubi is more unstable ... [15:05] so rusivi kubuntu or ubuntu? [15:05] coz_: i dont get exactly what you mean. I am fairly new to ubuntu. it is located in home sliver Downloads === denny_ is now known as denny [15:06] small problem here: I'm using xfce and I have a free space meter set to my /home partition, and I can see that the space in /home is dropping really fast [15:06] egoleo, have you looked at this ? http://www.mycafecup.com/ [15:06] nikkita: Kubuntu/Ubuntu is a personal choice, I use GNOME = Ubuntu but install many KDE programs b/c I like them better (Kolour = general paint, Korganizer = calendar, Amarok = iTunes equivalent) [15:06] it went from about 182GB to 180 in a few minutes [15:06] no checking it up [15:06] but i dont understand whats the diffrence [15:07] GothSpark: I'm not really commenting on how stable it is, more that I have found personal ease of use and success virtualizing vs. dual-booting. [15:07] oCean. I want it to be a system wide environment variable. Do I jsut put it in /etc/bash.bashrc? what is the point of/etc/environment if it is never used? [15:07] coz_: and it is called tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86(2).run. I downloaded it twice, and this one has an image of a sheet of paper with a bunch of 1 and 0 with a big x white x in the top right hand corner [15:07] egoleo, you may have to go to sourceforge and search for POS or internet cafe or cafe timer [15:07] oh ok [15:07] but this one looks cool too [15:07] thanks alot [15:07] Solved, can you screenshot that please and upload to picpaste.com [15:07] coz_: *big white x [15:08] GothSpark: This is the question that gets to the heart of the issue, is VMWare's success due to selling dual-booting products or virtualization products? [15:08] coz_ it seems is for sale? [15:09] rusivi , a vm has not the same capability as a dualbootinh [15:09] egoleo, oooo sorry [15:09] i want freee :D [15:09] egoleo, go to sourceforge and search there.... there are many but not all free [15:09] jshanab_win7: indeed, /etc/bash.bashrc is the way to go. The /etc/environment file seems to hold path definitions, not sure why it is not used for environment variables [15:09] egoleo, openbravo is free [15:09] GothSpark That is true and the performance gap between a native install and virtualized is quickly closing. [15:09] GothSpark many of the issues I had Virtualizing with VirtualBox just 1 year ago are no longer issues (gaming performance, live video streaming, video conferencing) [15:10] brb [15:10] egoleo, try this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/openbravopos_2.20-1_i386.deb [15:10] GothSpark: It is also hardware/eq dependent. [15:10] jshanab_win7: when changing the bashrc file, re-source the file to read-in the settings into your current shell (like 'source ~/.bashrc' to re-read your own bashrc file) [15:10] egoleo, you must have sun java installed for that to work [15:10] um is it possible to change the color and size of the font of my login shell? [15:11] hello [15:11] well i'm not here to debate about virtualision , I got a problam and needs tosolve it :) so shall we stay on topic ? [15:11] oCean.

I am trying it here [15:26] oilà [15:27] hi, I desperately need help.. I am currently running a live cd and where my linux ext4 partitions used to be, gparted now only detects unallocated hard drive space [15:27] bradyxc: This is going to sound silly but did a restart change anything? [15:27] gaza, dunno for sure , it just might be unallocated because windows did so during the install [15:27] is there a recovery tool which would find my partitions for me again? [15:27] rusivi not that I know of [15:27] ubuntu, same problem here may be we can work together [15:27] ubuntu: testdisk or gpart [15:27] bradyxc: ok so you restarted, and still same problem?

How can I disable lirc_imon module? [15:33] bradyxc: ty. I would take a look at the history of how Lucid has been updating and see if you notice any of your NTFS or related packages been updated recently. As well, same with software you installed. Looking for correlation to date/time closest to when you first noticed this issue, then look for causation. I do not keep up on every update so I can only suggest the obvious (ntfs-related, fstab auto-accessing-type packages). [15:33] rusivi ok ty [15:34] Solved, i will be back in a bit ...let me know if you got that installed [15:34] [ubuntu newbie] I'm getting "dpkg: error processing man-db (--configure):" on every installation i do [15:34] *meow* is someone successfully runnin AC97_ALC650F sound (nforce2) on 10.04?

[15:40] or watch JAWS [15:40] guys...is there anything i can do to test my eth card? [15:40] Izinucs, it depends on the application, some will store a link to the file's location on your system, some of them will use a binary blob field to store the document directly in the database itself. [15:40] Can anyone help me out with this -seems- simple problem? I cant get courier/mail to work because of error: Account's mailbox directory is not owned by the correct uid or gid . I created my maildir with maildirmake and let it be owned by apache user, my user account mail account but it keeps resulting in this error, Any suggestions would be very welcome [15:41] I'm having problems with my xchat and trying to join a different server...any help?\ [15:41] Izinucs, you might want to download MySQL Query browser so you can have a peek through the mysql data to see whats going on. [15:41] Friar, what happen/ [15:41] Friar, did you try ctrl+t [15:41] phil_in_london: thanks. is MySQL Query in the repos? [15:41] hi people i m on my live session now how will i determine where is my boot partition [15:41] I'm try to start synaptic from gnome terminal but it does not start. Do I need to put in something else than synaptic in the terminal ? I know where it is via the menu.. Please. [15:41] gaza, you can cross check from gparted [15:41] Yiamiyo if you are using the same computer to chat modem connected to the ethernet card then its working XD [15:42] YiamiYo Testing in the Live CD environment is the best way to go, ping 127.0.0.1 (testing hardware ok). [15:42] i figured it out, so no worries :) [15:42] well [15:42] AbhiJit, YiamiYo, I clicked on a link that was working with 10.04 and now that I've updated to 10.10 I get an error when I click on it...

[15:43] cat /var/log/syslog === dns is now known as lnsk [15:44] gaza, any error? [15:44] Nikyo: try: gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic [15:44] lol i came here for help [15:44] and helping [15:44] UBUNTU rocks [15:44] :) [15:45] :) [15:45] :) [15:45] phil_in_london: yea.. docs are pretty slim.. conf files haven't revealed anything yet.. I testing this DMS and then may impliment on a server/nas type setup but I'd like the data to live outside of / [15:45] can someone tell me why I can't remove this font? http://pastebin.com/Kjsc0yuC [15:45] Abhijit , if i try mounting sda1 it says according to mtab sda 1 is already mounted [15:45] does ubuntu has gparted on when booted as live cd? === yiamiyo_ is now known as YiamiYo [15:45] hi,i had setup a djbdns resolver in my machine. how can i add some static entries to the dnscache ? [15:45] @melrockz will synaptic only open from a "root" terminal and not from a terminal as a user? [15:45] dwarder: parted for sure.. gparted maybe [15:45] dwarder, yes [15:46] gaza, so what is problem is it is already mounted? go ahead with it/ [15:46] dwarder: iirc yes, if not, just install it [15:46] dwarder, yes [15:46] Can anyone help me out with this -seems- simple problem? I cant get courier/mail to work because of error: Account's mailbox directory is not owned by the correct uid or gid . I created my maildir with maildirmake and let it be owned by apache user, my user account mail account but it keeps resulting in this error, DEBUG=1 option didnt result in addional information. Any suggestions would be very welcome. [15:46] Nikyo: Yes. It's used to install software packages, so it requires root privileges [15:47] Hi, anyone using Energy XT music software here? [15:47] try trinity live distribution for the guy who needs to get data back [15:47] amanita_ No, I use Amarok or WINE iTunes. [15:47] dwarder: It has gparted. (also parted, if u prefer command line.) [15:47] Izunics, the data will live outside of /, the only question is if its binary encoded in the db, or a pointer to a file location. [15:47] best data recovery software is TESTDISK!! [15:47] Izunics, from the scant information I see, I'd say its binary encoded. [15:48] Abhijit , what is next? [15:48] rusivi, Energy XT is a music studio app [15:48] gaza, i dunno! read the guide [15:48] !fixgrub | gaza [15:48] gaza: 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. [15:48] amanita_ I would use protools/QBasis [15:48] amanita_ but that's getting cute [15:48] rusivi, What are you talking about? I use python and gtk [15:48] thats y i use N900 gaza [15:49] Abhijit, i did bro... no one works [15:49] amanita_ Many professional studio houses use ProTools or Q-Basis. Just mentioning no big deal. [15:49] rusivi, do you mean Cubase? [15:49] @melrockz thanks, I was trying to put synaptic command into wbar. wbar is like docky put for window managers like blackbox. When I click on the link on wbar "taskbar" synaptic does not open. Which makes sense now if it does not open as a user in a regular terminal and needs "root" permissions.. [15:49] ubottu , mine is grub2 [15:49] Is there a music synth software like FruityLoops for ubuntu? [15:50] aminta_ So your familiar cool do you like either? [15:50] melrockz, rhythmbox? [15:50] rusivi, I know them well and FL-studio, Native Instruments software and stuff, but I ask about Energy XT for linux which is a Fruity-loops like studio app [15:50] AbhiJit, Rhythmbox is nothing like FruityLoops at all - music player vs music creator [15:50] I have some sound problems, and need a solution, the sound is choppy and crackling [15:50] audacity looks like a killer audio app, I haven't had the time to get jack setup to try most of its features, but thats the only thing I haven't ported over to linux yet. [15:51] amanita_ I tried Hydrogen briefly for drum beats, and dusting out the memory banks another one for general synthing one sec... [15:51] phil i though vlc was the killer app [15:51] Thanks, but I meant music synthesizer. Which U make music with, u don't need any instruments. [15:51] ZykoticK9, ok [15:51] vlc is for playing video or music, not creating your own music. [15:51] melrockz, yes there are moose [15:52] Can anyone help me out with simple courier/imap question ? [15:52] melrockz, go to software center and search with term 'music' [15:52] melrockz, e.g.linux mutlimeida studio,gnu denemo are great [15:52] apt-cache search music [15:52] ardour looks like a good studio app. [15:52] is /etc/tomcat6 the default directory for tomcat in ubuntu? if so then where are the startup / shutdown scripts? [15:52] phil_in_london: you sure about audacity? it's a good app but if you're going to go through the trouble of installing and configuring jack then perhapsw Ardour (I think it's called).. [15:52] Protest the MPAA and DMCA goto http://leetbaka.com/tpb/ ;; please spread the word. The war is on. [15:53] rosegarden is music sequ. [15:53] !ot | Wakko10Warner [15:53] Wakko10Warner: #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! [15:53] @melrockz I play synths. Audacity is pretty good but not like fruity loops, per se. More like a recorder / editor. [15:53] yeah, ardour would be your daw/tracks app, but I like the mangling you can do with pure audio in audacity. [15:53] amanita_ I've cut out a track via Audacity, still looking for which synth'ing program I used.. [15:53] I happened to see: energyXT 2.5.4. Is this a good music synthesizer? [15:53] i was wondering is there a way to add the widgits like in kde for gnome if so what is the package? [15:53] melrockz you should take a look at mixcraft [15:53] perhaps you can run it in wine or somehting [15:53] very smooth app [15:53] erUSUL: can i send you the log and you tell me what it means? [15:53] tacomaster: plasmoids are nice [15:54] ole [15:54] Nikyo: Audacity is a gud audio editor... [15:54] melrockz: yeah, for example LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio), ardour. and then loads of smaller more feature specific tools. the unix philosophy is to make a program that does one thing, and does it great. instead of all featurs, but none on the top level. so you might want one tool for your synths, and another for the drum machine (like hydrogen). and the get all the pieces togeather in lmms or ardour. or do everything in ... [15:54] ... one of them. note that I know very little about this, so there is probably other/better tools out there, you just have to find them, gl :) [15:54] as far as synths go, you can use any vst(i) compatible software that you had with windows and just wrap it to work in linux. [15:55] amanita_ Linux MultiMedia Studio was for snyth'ing [15:55] melrockz: stay away from emulating stuff in wine, if you want to run linux, run the native apps.. [15:55] testdisk says the following: http://pastebin.com/CjAXkaG0 I'm pretty sure that is excatly the partition i need to recover :( === mike is now known as Guest55524 [15:55] @ erUSUL [15:55] amanita_ sorry for delay took me a while to remember that (used it briefly a couple years ago) [15:55] amanita_ you can youtube people who made entire tracks in LMS [15:56] rusivi, cool, altough I have choppy sound problems with the application Energy XT, under Ubuntu 10.04, thanks anyway [15:56] @melrockz I have not found any "soft synths" for my USB midi controller using Linux yet. I found "Rosegarden" which is a midi muti-track recorder, but it involves "Jack" as part as the interface, and could not get everything to work right with my equpment. [15:56] Can anyone help me out with a courier / imap question ? [15:56] c3l: Thanks, I'm also better off without Wine. :) [15:56] gaza: have you been able to make anzy progress? [15:56] nikyo, got any vsti soft synths from windows? you can use them in linux. [15:56] LMMS http://lmms.sourceforge.net/ [15:56] twanvdp: ask the question first [15:57] nikyo, as long as its just the instrument and no application along with it. [15:57] twanvdp, some one could probably if you asked the actual question [15:57] DeaCon ty it is awesome and downloadable via Ubuntu Software Center [15:57] DeaCon I was floored at all the default sounds available [15:57] kaddi , working with rockr1 i will update [15:58] @phil_in_london Hi.. I got a lot of vst files that I use in a "old" version of calkwalk sonar that I have collected around the'net.. [15:58] checking out LMMS... [15:58] Izinucs I keep getting this error : Account's mailbox directory is not owned by the correct uid or gid .. I tries several ownerships but it didnt work, option DEBUG=1 didt supplied additional information, any suggestions would be very welcome [15:58] nikyo, they'll work. [15:59] I have a question - have a stuck update, been hung for about an hour on setting up lirc (0.8.6-0ubuntu4.2) on 10.4 AMD 64bit Not sure what to do. [15:59] nikyo, I'm having the same problems with jack as you, not fully setup yet, it wants me to upgrade my hardware to make full use of it. [15:59] @phil_in_london In what program? I don't how they can work in Audacity i nLinux.. unless there is something that I am not seeing right? [16:00] twanvdp: do a ls -la on the directory and it will tell you what the owner and group settings are for the fiels [16:00] *files [16:00] nikyo, its not going to be audacity it will need to be a full daw application, play around with Ardour2 [16:00] well, currently i thought mail:mail should be correct, which result in : drwx------ 5 mail mail 4096 2010-10-02 16:57 t.vanderpoel [16:00] GEdit fails to load new plugins, no matter I put the plugin files in ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins or /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins [16:01] Any way to get Lucid working with Intel 845 video card? Upgrade's due, no finances...:-( [16:01] vincentk, open another terminal : sudo dpkg --clear-avail [16:01] @phil_in_london Ardour2.. hmm.. I remember that program from way back.. I'll check it out Thank You. Enjoy the day / night. [16:01] twanvdp: might have to be root:mail [16:01] * twanvdp checks [16:02] nikyo, http://www.breakfastquay.com/dssi-vst/ [16:02] still nothing...it was working just fine before...then i did an update and in that update was the 2.6.32-25-generic kernel...when update finished i rebooted my pc and got the error for graphic card so i run in failsafe-x to download the latest nvidia drivers(i had internet via eth)...then i gone to tty1 and closed the services gdm and failsafe-x as i do every time to install the nvidia drivers...then did sudo reboot and boom...rebooted fine but got no in [16:02] ternet...neither at ubuntu nor at windows.. [16:03] YiamiYo: if both are not working then I'd suspect a bad card [16:04] Izinucs It keeps resulting into the same error, could a desperit chmod -R a+w /var/mail have result in problems? Is it possible that i have to set a mailuser in the courier configuration ? [16:04] again...it was working just fine before i update + reinstall the nvidia drivers...did nothing more.. [16:04] BluesKaj response is dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [16:04] question for anyone, When i booted my new ubuntu 10.04 system from the live cd, installed everything SOUNDED great, the sound was flawless, now after doing some updates, my sound (sounds GARBLED bad) [16:05] I need help with recoverying my ext4 partitions, testdisk will not do it because it says that the end of one partition lies outside the hard drive size [16:05] vincentk, ok try , sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:06] the testdisk log is here: http://pastebin.com/e4QQtLDM [16:07] twanvdp: maybe .. I typically use numbers.. not use to the alpha characters for chmod outside of "x".. looks like my /var/mail directory is root:mail with permissions of d rwx rws r-x .. which translates to 7?5 .. the second set of three has an "s" which I'm not familure with.. never seen it. [16:07] Blues [16:07] What is now called "extended" used to be my ext4 partitions. [16:07] it is offering to kill the process...yes I guess? [16:07] how come when i do "sudo chown -R jon:jon /home/jon" i get "chown: cannot access `/home/jon/.gvfs': Permission denied"? [16:08] hi [16:08] vincentk, yes [16:08] i installed unbuntu 10.x on my craptop [16:08] and the default resolution won't work [16:08] !enter | Coronade [16:08] Coronade: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

I'm running Ubuntu version 10.x [16:09] mm probably Lucid [16:09] Coronade, "lsb_release -a" in a terminal will tell you for sure [16:09] how do I get to a terminal? I can't log in. [16:09] BluesKaj, OK, looks like post processing in the terminal I opened and update manager went to a read meatball Update is complete...not all changes have been applied. I had a lot of packages updating. Should I re-run the update manager and un select the problem packag? [16:09] Coronade, ops sorry [16:10] Coronade: ctrl-alt-f2 [16:10] ok i'll try that, brb [16:10] Hi, is it possible to have gnome run in kiosk mode with some apps whitelisted? [16:10] vincentk, now open synaptic /edit/fix broken packages/ and if needed click apply ...this is a reduntant step but just want to make sure [16:10] Especially I do not want people change background images, create mail accounts, etc === ubuntu is now known as kaddi [16:11] Izinucs: please list the whole output. Is it like this? drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 2009-04-20 19:29 [16:11] vincentk, what is the app/package you're trying to install ? [16:12] BluesKaj - Being prompted for a restart before I run synaptic. Should I restat first or synaptic edit / fix broken packages first? [16:12] ahox___: i suppose you could 'chmod -x' them to prevent them from running [16:12] Izinucs Unfor. still not working, thanks for your help though [16:12] melrockz: I did but I just seperated the octects.. just pretend the spaces aren't there. [16:12] hi i'm back [16:12] BluesKaj - it hung on updating LIRC [16:12] the screen messes up when I ctrl+alt+F2 [16:12] twanvdp: good luck [16:12] vincentk, yes fix the broken pkges first [16:13] aeon-ltd: well, I just wan the kiosk mode for the guest user, not for everyone [16:13] i suppose i could try to do it blind, if i knew what was happening. [16:13] BluesKaj, Thanks - trying now [16:13] Izinucs: u had a uid gid problem, right? the whole o/p is then needed. [16:14] ubuntu/member/idleone and *!*@gateway/web/*$#ubuntu-proxy-users [16:14] ahox___: what do you want the guest user to run? [16:14] Izinucs: (i'm still trying to figure out the rw's' problem) [16:14] hello guys.. I got an error stating "Can't authenticate some packages" while trying to upgrade to MM RC.. what to do now?

Try setting the DNS servers on router to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and see if it goes. [17:06] ok phil_in_london [17:07] @magic - the router may not have the DNS servers entered into the configuration. You can get those from your ISP or use open DNS servers like opendns. [17:07] if the router runs openwrt or other opensource firmware just do sudo service dnsmasq restart [17:07] Hi [17:07] ok JimRome. thanks [17:07] sorry just service dnsmasq restart [17:07] doesn't a shortcut appear in the Applications menu after installing vim-gtk?

[17:08] rooligan: under what category? i can't find it [17:09] phil_in_london: can't find package [17:09] bahamas: Sorry, I don't know anymore [17:09] @magic - most routers are running a web based config. plug into the router and browse to its IP address. The DNS servers are configurable. You type the DNS servers IP addresses into the screen and save the config. If it is command line based router, you usually SSH into the router. [17:10] rek, hmm, thats not good, are you just using apt-get? does it show in synaptec? [17:10] yes,wait [17:10] rooligan: ok, i opened it by typing gvim in the terminal [17:10] JimRome, magicianlord, opendns seems tp block email after the a dynamic IP changes ..it happened to me ..googledns seems to work better for those of outside the US [17:10] JimRome: yeah. thanks [17:11] phil_in_london: was spelled in a bad way [17:11] bahamas: maybe in Development, or Accessoires [17:11] phil_in_london: installed [17:12] rek, try this 1) hciconfig hci0 down 2) unplug/replug bluetooth 3) hciconfig hci0 -a [17:12] rooligan: i don't have Development, and it's not in Accessories.

[17:24] see if lsusb gives you some feedback on what modem it is [17:24] nikkita: ok try to install usb-modeswitch [17:25] im new to ubuntu :( [17:25] c3l support here means longer security updates [17:25] I am planing to buy this netbook lenovo ideapad s10-3t. It has a touch screen monitor and comes with win7 installed. It does not have a free dos version. Before buying it I wanted to know whether, I can remove win 7 from it and install ubuntu and if ubuntu would support its touch screen behaviour . [17:25] phil_in_london: il''l try another device [17:25] nikkita: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch [17:25] c3l: you get the extended support only for "server" packages (not for gnome....) [17:25] nikkita: type that into the terminal [17:25] c3l for server related packages [17:25] rek, did you phone notify you about "data connection to blah blah blah" ? [17:25] phil_in_london: it's silent :) [17:26] c3l: use the desktop edition then [17:26] vivek_40: can you try it with a live CD/usb key? [17:26] rek, unless they are paired (which you can do with bluemon or blueman) you'll have to acknowledge the transmission on the phone. [17:26] nikkita: you might have to reboot the pc or perhaps just reconnect the 3g modem after the installation [17:26] guntbert: plovs: that explains it, thanks. so If i want a HTPC/server i should go with the desktop edition? [17:26] Dr_Willis: thanks :) [17:26] sleepy it comes up in the bottom tray it can see it connected [17:26] c3l: much easier to make a desktop a server.. then the reverse [17:26] but i didnt know you can install stuff on ubuntu [17:26] phil_in_london: can't do that even using a gui the pairing went bad [17:27] guntbert:No i guess they wont let me try it with my usb and ubuntu on it before buying it [17:27] rek, so what are you doing there? going through the "really old junk box" ? :) [17:27] vivek_40: most netbooks are decently well supported by linux/ubuntu [17:27] vivek_40: then I don't know - sorry [17:27] nikkita: i'm not sure i understood the last two messages... [17:27] vivek_40: the touchscreen.. may be a issue.. never had a touchscreen' [17:28] c3l ubuntu is like lego, it is a matter of adding and removing packages to turn it into a server or workstation or both [17:28] phil_in_london: what? [17:28] nikkita: what do you mean. ubuntu got some huge repos [17:28] Dr_Willis:yes the touchscreen was a thing i was most worried about [17:28] vivek_40: check the forums. [17:28] rek, just wondering, first we fought with your broken bluetooth adapter, now it seems we are fighting with your phone. [17:28] vivek_40: the little ive used touchscreens.. i found them to be a gimmic. :) [17:28] Is lack of ALT+F2 (Gnome run command) functionality in Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition a bug or feature ? [17:28] Dr_Willis: have posted on the ubuntu Forum but .... [17:28] my boyfriend told me to install ubntu because its better than windows... [17:28] yeah [17:29] vivek_40: you did search the forums first? [17:29] Dr_Willis: This model actually folds up like a tablet and looks pretty good [17:29] nikkita: by installing usb-modeswitch ubuntu should detect the modem part of the usb dongle and not just the storage device... [17:29] Dr_Willis: no will check that out too [17:29] plovs: ah I see, thanks. but what makes ubuntu ubuntu is really the preinstalled stuff, you could get debian, but there you'd have to configure it a bit more to get what you want, right? [17:29] rek, I messaged you, might be easier to read/follow there instead. [17:29] vivek_40: :) Should of searched befor you posted. heh.. there may be a thread on that exact machine. [17:29] Ever since last kernel update ( to 2.6.32.25 ) a couple of strange things have started happening - most noticeable is when unmounting in nautilus an external or internal drive "could not display computer:///" is shown. No problem as nautilus actually can (I just click "ok" to kill msg box & carry on) - on last boot all the title areas on all apps disppeared - on reboot, all ok. Can someone call out rhe best fschk comm [17:29] and to use to -fully- the drive (tho SMART reports ok). Cheers. [17:30] ...and soz for the long post!

Both since kernel update only. [17:33] oi [17:33] alguem me diz como me comunicar aqui [17:34] !es | usuario [17:34] usuario: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[17:34] its portugese [17:34] c3l: no it's not, he just doesn't know how to write [17:35] :( [17:35] Dr_Willis: Any ideas re the funny Nautilus behaviour... happens here on desktop & on netbook. Both since kernel update only [17:35] is there a cli command to list the current running kernel? [17:35] Izinucs, uname -r [17:35] usuario, ubuntu-br [17:35] suprengr: no idea on that.. as for fscking the drive. theres commands to make it fsck them at the next reboot. [17:35] !fsck [17:35] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [17:35] hi all [17:35] levine, he left [17:36] AbhiJit: levine thanks [17:36] ok [17:36] i have a ifconfig related question ( running ubuntu lts lucid [17:36] Dr_Willis: cheeres & many thanks (copies command and gets ready to reboot ;-D [17:36] frederik1986, ask [17:36] i have a ssh tunnel to this machine , when i broke te connectn , tun0 was still there [17:37] the howto i read says that when connection is broken tun0 would be gone [17:37] now when i make a ssh tunnel again , its says device busy [17:37] frederik1986: are you running screen or byobu? [17:37] another channel works [17:37] screen [17:38] frederik1986: when you broke the connection did you do that by closing the terminal window? [17:38] yes [17:38] screen was terminated [17:38] Hello, I recently purchased a PS3 and found out that I can somehow stream media to it using DLNA? I have ubuntu server installed, along with a windows machine. All my media are on the windows machine, what I would like to be able to do is copy this media to the ubuntu server, and have that act as the "media server". Now I believe I need something like NFS export from ubuntu so windows can see the volume ? Can [17:38] someone point me in the right direction, thank you. [17:39] this is my partition table http://img5.glowfoto.com/images/2010/10/02-0908014933L.png, i want unallocated space to be added sda3(ext4) filesistem, why gparted not allowing me to do this? [17:39] anybody use PS3MediaServer in here? i'm having performance issues with it... [17:39] frederik1986: then you didn't break the connection by closing the terminal window.. you "exited" the ssh session then exited screen then closed the terminal windows.. does that sound familure? [17:39] windows doesn't see nfs unless you pay for the client i think? [17:39] norbi905: you use 'samba' to get windows <-> linux shares setup [17:39] i typed exit to leave the session yes [17:39] hi guys, i need some help to install IES4Linux on ubuntu, is this a right place for it? [17:39] !samba | norbi905 [17:39] norbi905: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[17:40] how can I change my credit card info for ubuntu one music store? [17:40] Dr_Willis, From what I heard, NFS has much better performance compared to samba, am I miss-informed? [17:40] yes but nfs insn't supported in windows [17:40] norbi905: it can be.. but good luck finding a NFS client for windows for free.. Ive never found one yet. [17:40] frederik1986: hummm... then I have no ideal why tun0 is still alive.. sorry.. I thought screen may not have been terminated correctly and was still live but in the background. === neutrino is now known as tar- [17:41] no no ,checked that [17:41] norbi905: samba is pretty much a standard feature on most netwrork gizmos,.,. [17:41] on my laptop , tun0 was gone [17:41] could the problem be in sshd_config? [17:41] Dr_Willis, Windows 7 does NFS out of the box I believe [17:41] norbi905: the win7 I have definatly does not.. [17:42] i looked. :) [17:42] Dr_Willis, I will give it a try first, lets see how it goes :) [17:42] norbi905: perhaps the uber-business-whatever-elite-edition does. [17:42] coz_: are you still there by any chance? [17:42] Dr_Willis: might be the version of win7? they have 5 and some features you only get when spending $$'s [17:42] norbi905: you will want to learn how samba works.. its the best way to share stuff with windows machines.. and even handy for linux to linux stuff. [17:42] Solved, yes [17:42] norbi905: in general, samba is better on linux than nfs. [17:42] Solved, how did that go ? [17:42] norbi905, i have 'ultimate' and it doesn't have NFS support.

I have a boot drive and another drive which is to be used as media. I mounted the media drive by mount -a /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd2 . I created a folder called shared on /mnt/hdd2 . Now how do I actually share this folder so windows can see it? I have no gui installed on ubuntu server, so this would have to be command line :( [17:59] Jamesgamer_linux: theres proberly several wine 'variants' that have PPA's but those are not the winehq wine reposiutory [17:59] shaolinux: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you should see the interfaces available, you can then websearch to find guides using the product line [17:59] sunson, gnome is probably enough, but it doesn't seem like gnome system monitor can do it? [17:59] nikkita: if I make myself cancer-proof, will I die if I get run over by a bus? [18:00] glaucous: a lot of apps can. best is to learn to help yourself by doing apt-cache search.

[18:01] @phil_in_london where u referring to me [18:01] !ppa [18:01] nikkita: No, you are asking if Ubuntu will prevent you from being ddos. it won't, no OS will. [18:02] egoleo, I have no idea who you are so that'd be a no. [18:02] idle0ne i keep getting hit with a 6.4 mill botnet [18:02] ok thanx [18:02] every night so it was only a meer question [18:02] phil_in_london nope [18:02] nikkita: then I suggest you call your ISP. [18:03] shaolinux, so your system isn't recognizing this device at any of the layers at all...sure its installed okay? [18:03] shaolinux: is the interface usb or internal? [18:03] is there a problem with the iwlagn driver for intel wifi cards ? [18:03] nikkita: master iptables. that's the only way you can be absolutely sure. [18:04] Is this the appropriate place for printing problems of 10.10RC? The printer is found, and starts, but the pages output are blank. On 10.04, the same printer works fine.

[18:09] felixsulla: theres always the 'find the binaries it installed and delete them' way.. but thats a little annoying [18:09] evenin' all [18:09] felixsulla: depends how you installed it, if you didnt use a deb, it wont have registered in synaptic [18:10] phil_in_london i'm thinking about reinstalling with a pc plugged to the second interface but i would really appreciate not having to do so, there should be a way to detect new hardware :| [18:10] felixsulla: there is a way, we just need to know how you installed it, you have been asked but havent told us yet and we cant help you until you fill us in [18:10] shaolinux, there is a way, lspci is given the information from your mainboard (as long as the device is compatible). [18:10] ActionParsnip: It has been about a year since I installed it, so I dont really remember. [18:11] shaolinux, then your ifconfig would show you an eth1 device if lspci was able to find a device. [18:11] felixsulla: if you run: dpkg -l | grep -i jung does it show up?

[18:41] droopal: for your original question: what is "pound" ? [18:41] Rotham apt-cache search xchat [18:41] I read the the description of the package and I don't think it was related to the issue I was having with the the module not loading [18:41] lhavelund: what about 78.46.20.128 (instead of 129, to see if internal addresses work, assming it's up) [18:41] lhavelund: and it's in the same network?

But I am now wondering if it might have something to do with me not being able to connect my Network [18:43] lhavelund: uh uhm i'm used to .255s being broadcast addresses, but what do i know :P [18:43] Rotham: did you enable the universe repo? [18:43] how do I do that? [18:43] LjL: presumably more than me. networking isn't my forté.

Only payed £6 for it :D [21:07] anyone here working with non en_US or C locale? I'd like to know output of svn --version or hg --version. e.g. pt_BR. thanks [21:07] nucc1: wait until it is stable [21:07] blakkheim, that is until release day? or a few weeks after?

[21:09] I just formatted my ubuntu partition to ntfs, should i also format linuxswap? [21:09] nucc1: then I think you only need to worry about adding the ppas back in after upgrade. Most apps are fairly safe I think [21:09] FusionX: you can't install linux on ntfs [21:09] ChogyDan, if i don't add them back in, i'll get dependency issues? [21:09] FusionX: you should not run linux from an ntfs partition [21:10] <^Matt> FusionX: why would you do that? O_o [21:10] guntbert: i formatted ubuntu [21:10] guntbert: and now it is ntfs [21:10] <^Matt> FusionX: Also, no, swap partitions must be formatted as such if you want them to actually work :) [21:10] ^Matt: i formatted ubuntu, so should i format linuxswap too? [21:10] FusionX: what are you trying to do? run windows? [21:10] nucc1: no, if you have dependency issues, you will run into trouble during the upgrade. You only add them back for further updates [21:11] daniela78 my soundcard isnt listed under plugin [21:11] <^Matt> FusionX: By "formatted" do you mean "got rid of entirely"?

[21:16] blakkheim, that would require me opening another terminal [21:16] <^Matt> ThomasB2k: I think it uses a wrapper script, so you've killed that script but not FF itself. Use pkill or something [21:17] ThomasB2k: what happens when you do ^C then? [21:17] <^Matt> ThomasB2k: though, it did work for me [21:17] * ^Matt shrugs [21:17] ThomasB2k: use ctrl-z then kill from the prompt. or xkill, or pkill [21:17] on output test you should hear something, on my emu10k1 I set ALSA,Front. Then appears in forward the option: alsasink device="hw:0,0" and I hear a beep while Test runs [21:17] ^Matt, I just realized that I've changed the hotkey in gnome terminal for copy from Ctrl Shift C to Ctrl C.

[21:53] Lauterino: as far as mickey$oft goes - there is no depth they won't stoop to. [21:53] i tried a clip and it works fine. anyway, I just wanted to get him the latest vlc [21:53] I don't want to interfere your conversation but may I ask a small question? [21:53] sark666: yeah, make him upgrade [21:53] blakkheim, yes works fine here. his player is probably just outdated [21:53] eugenekorpan: ask away [21:54] that's the thing, can he now upgrade to latest ubuntu directly, or does he have to upgrad x number of times? [21:54] i cant watch anything on mine wither [21:54] :S [21:54] *either [21:54] etheretic; Yep, you have bugreporters that are employed by microsoft === david is now known as Guest61825 [21:54] sark666: he can go from 8.04 to 10.04 [21:54] i would like to add [21:54] sark666: 8.04 to 10.04 is possible becouse both are LTS [21:54] I have just installed ubunta and cannot configure internet connection, saying cabel is unplagged, is it something wrong with the matherboard drivers? [21:54] well i hope it's 8.04 might be earlier but i think it's that [21:54] i tried the help page on ubuntu forum, didn't solve it for me [21:54] sark666, why not just upgrade the vlc? [21:54] I have windows on the same machine - internet is fine [21:54] !version | sark666 [21:54] sark666: 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 » [21:54] is there some sort of port i need to open? [21:55] yes but packages are outdated [21:55] sark666: if it's earlier than 8.04 i'd recommend a reinstall with 10.04 to be honest [21:55] unless there's an easy way to get latest vlc on an old ubuntu [21:55] I can't watch anything such as DVD's on my computer wither [21:55] it's the old package problem... [21:55] *either [21:55] Alysha: sudo aptitude -y install ubuntu-restricted-extras [21:55] i don't want to get him to compile.

[21:56] My dad set the software up on my computer [21:56] and he didn't know why the problem was [21:56] Alysha: open a terminal and run that command i just sent [21:56] My question: I want to learn Linux Server administration. Now I have some experience in linux commandline, very little to be honest. Thing is, I'm interested in server management and not desktop. But should I learn all the commandline stuff first? I mean, should I spend more time on the desktop to learn the commandline before I venture into servers? [21:56] Which command? [21:57] Alysha: sudo aptitude -y install ubuntu-restricted-extras [21:57] I changed the height of my gnome panel and now it is two colors and the transparency effects dont work on many of the applets can anyone hlep? [21:57] *help [21:57] keshav: you definitely want commandline knowledge for server admin [21:57] ok thanks [21:57] I have install et-linux-2.60.x86.run(game) I can host and play by myself, when try to join a server, the game shutdown while connecting and downloading the map. I tried the help page on ubuntu forum, didn't work. sometimes i get stuck on downloading and most of the time just shutdown. do i need to open some sort of a port or something? === neutrino is now known as tar- [21:58] blakkheim: I think so too. Thanks! [21:58] It is telling me it si already installed [21:58] how can i find out in which directory pear is installed? === gmachine24 is now known as gmachine_24 [21:59] It is telling me it si already installed [21:59] if someone is looking to help me plz let me know. [21:59] How can I control brightness from command line? I am willing to install new package. [21:59] keshav: you can learn a lot on a desktop using command line that will apply to server, and most of what you can run on server can run on workstation anyhow. just as long as you're learning, you should do fine. [21:59] keshav, desktop will just force you into easy ways, so better just setup a remote test box and ssh away [22:00] i wonder if the nick i used makes people fear to help me. lol [22:01] sounds like a good idea. brontoeee [22:01] bobstro Thanks! [22:01] @blakkheim?? [22:01] ok let's try again [22:01] I have install et-linux-2.60.x86.run(game) I can host and play by myself, when try to join a server, the game shutdown while connecting and downloading the map. I tried the help page on ubuntu forum, didn't work. sometimes i get stuck on downloading and most of the time just shutdown. do i need to open some sort of a port or something? please help. if you are going to help plz let me know. [22:01] Hi - I need to find the latest versions of mono or at least packages such as libglib because I am having problems installing a program because it "depends on libglib2.0-cil (>= 2.12.7); however: Version of libglib2.0-cil on system is 2.12.1-2" [22:02] keshav: the server and desktop are really no different. Basically, a ubuntu desktop is a ubuntu server with a GUI running on it, and a few desktop apps for things like playing your music. [22:02] n00ber: you need to be patient :-) there is not a ready answer to every problem [22:02] n00ber, everyone here is a volunteer - if they don't know how to help you they can't. Be patient and sooner r later someone who can will join the channel [22:02] ok, ty at least now i know someone is looking for me [22:02] sorry for causing trouble [22:03] i just wasn't sure if i was waiting for nothing or not [22:03] n00ber, what is the games full name [22:03] hi [22:03] enemy territory [22:03] how can i find out in which directory pear is installed? [22:03] i have troubles to make my webcam run on the website tinychat [22:03] pearl? [22:03] Lunar_Lamp, on desktop, don't you 'have to install' applications that may be required by the server? [22:04] keshav: there are some applications that are installed on the server by default that aren't on the desktop by default, but they're fundamentally the same systems. [22:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory n00ber have a read [22:04] Lunar_Lamp, ah, alright! [22:04] keshav: biggest difference i can think of between server and workstation is the networking configuration. if you install a gui on server, you won't be able to get the compiz effects. other than that, they're pretty much the same. [22:05] keshav: server just has less 'stuff' installed by default. [22:05] bobstro I see. Compiz is funny. :P [22:05] Dice-Man: does it work in cheese? [22:05] bazhang, i spent almost 2 hours on that page last night, with no luck [22:05] ActionParsnip, yep [22:05] !server | keshav read for yourself :) [22:05] keshav read for yourself :): Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[22:30] !maverick | Skaperen [22:30] Skaperen: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [22:31] Things just stop responding [22:31] ActionParsnip: OK, t/y [22:31] ActionParsnip, ...so why was it that urbanterror was showing up in synaptic but not through apt-cache? [22:31] how do I enable a wireless device from the command line? lshw -C netowrk shows it (*-network:1 DISABLED) [22:32] isionous: not sure, ive not used synaptic since I learned apt-get [22:32] ActionParsnip, yeah, synaptic is kind of slow [22:33] randomOfAmber: are you using wep or wpa? [22:33] isionous: i can search with apt-cache and install with apt-get :) [22:33] l [22:33] my task bar just crashed can anyone help? All I have open is this window [22:33] ActionParsnip, right, but I do like synaptic's ease of use and that it's kind of a one stop to search, install, and look at package properties [22:34] doesn anybody know where can I download drivers for matherboard? [22:34] !resetpanel | blackhawk0042 [22:34] blackhawk0042: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [22:34] ActionParsnip, I do want to use the cli tools more and synaptic less as time goes by though [22:34] bobstro: wpa [22:34] isionous: cli is very powerful if you can harness it :) [22:34] whats the short cut for the terminal if my task bar is gone? [22:34] randomOfAmber: you will want to look into iwconfig and wpa_supplicant [22:35] randomOfAmber: you may end up doing it differently than the network manager approach. [22:35] new to ubuntu...but anyone know why mutt times out when trying to send, but can connect to view inbox etc? [22:35] randomOfAmber: is it not recognized ? [22:35] is there an easy way to configure per user language settings in ubuntu [22:36] hello all :D. [22:36] if possible even do this at user creation time [22:36] trying to add an init.d script, and i have the script in there... i can read it, all the permissions look correct. but when i try to execute it, I get "No such file or directory" - what is going on!?! [22:37] ActionParsnip, yeah, you're preaching to the choir; I don't know what I'd do without gnu screen (well, I'd probably use tmux...) [22:37] ActionParsnip, thanks again [22:37] np bro [22:37] bye [22:37] probably the most maddening thing is i can autocomplete it with tab, so i KNOW it's there. [22:38] bobstro: it says it's just disabled [22:38] bobstro: ifconfig eth1 up :) did the tric [22:38] trick* [22:38] when installing dual windows7 and ubuntu, no option for "Install them side by side choosing between them each startup" why? [22:39] Hi my packages are broken, what can I do to solve this? http://pastebin.com/XX1FQUfW I can't install anything else now [22:39] randomOfAmber: is it showing in network manager now? [22:39] owner: you have no unalloctaed space on the drive [22:40] bobstro: in nm-applet? I'm not running a gui at the moment [22:40] I'm running foobar2k on WINE, and the visualizations are a bit laggy.. Is this something that could be fixed? [22:40] randomOfAmber: ok. if you intend to, you'll probably want it showing in applet. if not, you can configure it in /etc/network/interfaces. [22:40] sms: i'd check the appdb and ask in #winehq [22:41] randomOfAmber: so it connected via wpa? [22:41] film Disney [22:41] randomOfAmber: you must have had it configured previously, no? [22:41] I created two partitions one 512k for the root and on partition 100gb for ubuntu [22:41] ok I'll do that, thanks [22:42] bobstro: no, so I should configure it in /etc/network/interfaces? [22:42] randomOfAmber: well how do you intent to use it most of the time? the network manager/applet is convenient from the gui. [22:43] randomOfAmber: also, did wpa work? [22:43] yes the 100gb was unalloctaed [22:43] :s Is there anyway of remove a package from the "package" index file..like if it wasn't installed? [22:43] dpkg apt-get ....synaptic..I can't remove a stupid broken package even with dpkg --force-all --remove... [22:43] bobstro: it said it did... but I'm not connected. and yes, I will be using this for my main connection [22:43] Help!! [22:44] anyway to delete all files recursively without deleting the containing directories [22:44] i'm trying to clean all the log files [22:44] randomOfAmber: will you be using the gui normally? [22:44] bobstro: no [22:44] wolfric_: find dir/ -type f -exec echo rm {} + [22:44] wolfric_: when you are satisfied with the output drop the echo [22:44] randomOfAmber: i found it would say it connected, but only as peer-to-peer. i had to futz with wpa_supplicant to get a headless machine setup. [22:45] my computer is 114 c [22:45] is that bad? [22:45] letmein2 [22:45] owner: win7 can resize its own partitions. I suggest you use that after backing up what you have [22:45] erUSUL, echo command is simulation? [22:45] Hydrozii: if it really is, i'd check out why [22:45] would changing the hostname of my ubuntu cause any trouble? [22:45] problems [22:45] it really is and its because i was playing minecraft [22:46] brontoeee: no it echos (print to screen) what you pass to it. [22:46] Hydrozii: check for dead fans and such [22:46] meh3: no as long as you change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname at the same time [22:46] as soon as i close minecraft it starts cooling down to like 70s [22:46] i can hear my fan working... [22:46] I installed a few K educational apps and now it looks like I am using K instead of Gnome !?! [22:46] ActionParsnip, do i need to do anything after the change? [22:46] erUSUL, right so rm is just a string in this case right? [22:46] Hydrozii: check for clogged cpu heatsink and such [22:46] meh3: give it a reboot [22:47] bobstro: what should I do? I'm using -ieth1 and -c/my/conf/file now as the only args to wpa_supplicant [22:47] brontoeee: yes [22:47] Hydrozii: also, be sure it's reading celsius and not farenheit [22:47] i took my labtop apart after a year of use about a month ago and cleaned it but it was in pretty good shape [22:47] anyone, knows things about vlc here? (I asked in #videolan but noone seems to be awake there): I have an avi here with multiple subtitles included in it, vlc do lists the 3 subtitles in its video/subtitle-menu, but when I select any of them, no text is rendered. I think I viewed it with in ubuntu7.04 three years ago or so (with working subtitle) I'm not 100% sure though, it could have been in MediaPlayerClassic back when I still used Windows. No [22:47] randomOfAmber: there are some good howtos. iirc, it was a combination of /etc/network/interfaces and using pre and post-up scripts to load wpa_supplicant. [22:47] bobstro: now it says 'reauth' like it reconnected. but 'ping google.com' still doesn't do anything [22:47] and its definitly celsius [22:48] how can I see the list of samba users in my pc ? [22:48] randomOfAmber: did you set up wpa_supplicant? [22:48] I used win7 to partitions my space. end result was: System, C:\ current windows7, 512k for the root (for ubuntu), and 100gb unallocated. [22:48] bobstro: you may want to contact the vlc support resources [22:48] OMGZ missed you gusy!! [22:49] owner: if you have unallocated space the ubuntu installer should allow you to install dual boot [22:49] owner: 512 *K*? [22:49] perhaps MB :-) [22:49] bobstro: I used wpa_passphrase to make /etc/wpa_suppllicant/wpa_supplicant.conf [22:50] how can I see the list of samba users in my pc ? [22:50] randomOfAmber: you have ssid etc in there? [22:51] randomOfAmber: i also found using text of psk rather than the wpa_passphrase worked. no idea why tho. [22:51] randomOfAmber: i set ssid, scan_ssid, key_mgmt and psk parameters. [22:51] bobstro: everything wpa_passphrase generated, (ssid and psk) [22:52] randomOfAmber: try cleartext passphrase in quotes. mine takes a while to successfully connect. you may need to kill old wpa supplicants. [22:52] HOw do I boot into the Grub menu? ESC doesnt work [22:52] ellion1: perhaps system-config-samba show that? [22:53] ska_: hold shift at boot [22:53] ska_: try "shift" in grub2 [22:53] just "cleartext passphrase" from the cli? [22:54] trying again with out the 512k .. booting off flashdrive to ubuntu [22:54] hello [22:54] randomOfAmber: here's what my interfaces wound up looking like - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/XQrj2gAT [22:54] bobo123, thank you ! I'll try it ! [22:54] ellion1: if not, iftop should list all computers that communicate with your, including with samba [22:55] hey [22:55] some one there? [22:55] randomOfAmber: here's my wpa_supplicant config file - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/DRLyLQhx [22:56] can ear me? [22:56] quark_: i assure you, yes [22:56] new to IRC, can you ear me? [22:56] randomOfAmber: mine's a removable usb wlan adapter, so you may not want hotplug. [22:57] * bobo123 is earing quark_ :-) [22:57] thx bobo123 [22:57] quark_: you want a wet willie? [22:57] bobo123, thank you it works ! [22:57] during install, after keyboard layout, still no option for "install them side by side". why? I have 100gb unallocated space displayed (according to win7) [22:57] bobstro: yeah I don't know. I'll have to read up on network/interfaces and wpa_supplicant [22:57] blarg [22:57] apparently wireshark now hangs my leenucks box [22:57] randomOfAmber: as i said, network manager is more 'friendly' but this will work. [22:58] Hi :) How can I disable gnome (ie. X) from starting after boot? In debian I used to edit /etc/inittab and change the runlevel, but this doesn't work for Ubuntu 10.04 ... [22:58] bobstro: yeah, I have to go now. I'll hopefull be back here tonight and finish this up. thanks for the help so far!

I have 100gb unallocated space displayed (according to win7) [23:04] shai: no problem [23:04] owner: did you check the CD for defects? [23:05] booting from usb flashdrive. did a md5 and it was correct.

What can I do? [23:09] consistancy, how? [23:09] ActionParsnip, is the andrew [dot] org ; blog yours? [23:09] shai: never heard of it, sorry [23:10] Thought you had solved it.. you said...

[23:13] I remove ~/.evolution, but still it finds my account [23:13] Noble: gconf [23:13] You know if you click the scrollwheel in windows, you get this scroll slider thing? Is there such a thing in ubuntu? [23:13] Noble: look in ~/.config too [23:14] <[thor]> sms: middle-click is "paste" by default in gnome [23:14] hi [23:14] hi [23:14] anyone willing to give me a hand?

[23:18] ActionParsnip: what should i wrote in the command line of the launche icon to launch my program [23:18] does anyone know how to do error recovery by default in yacc/bison? [23:18] It's a PCI card [23:18] Noble: do « alt + f2 » in the dialog go to apps>evolution. in there you will see all the old settingsd [23:18] james333james, whatever command you write in the terminal to launch the program [23:18] alfonso, ok.. open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter... and see what chipset your wireless card is.

[23:21] DrDamnit: picasa for linux; shotwell ? there are few picture managers [23:21] erUSUL: she doesn't like f-spot, and for some reason it won't read 14 megapixel pictures. They are fuzzy like poor tv reception. [23:21] Yes, actionParsnip, I'm using the compiled drivers right now [23:21] installing eyeofgnome, gthummb, and picasa. [23:21] but it only works for some hours [23:21] any other suggestions?

[23:23] Yes, I tried a lot of things and I did consider just getting another card [23:23] DrDamnit: http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/58887 [23:23] either that or moving the computer closer to the router and using an ethernet cable [23:24] aasegarden: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [23:24] aasegarden: a real quick websearch would have shown you that [23:24] alfonso, well, thats an option t.. just saying, realtek is shaky [23:24] at least in my experience [23:25] ActionParsnip: true, but it seemed to me like you would have to decrypt the whole movie first. Are there noe plug n play soultions? [23:25] aasegarden: not sure, i dot use bluray anything [23:25] ActionParsnip: I´m gonna use this machine as a media senter, and I do not want to process the movies before I play them [23:25] erUSUL: she just wants to correct for red-eye, and size it down to email out.

[23:29] hi all, I am still having troubles gettin my st lab n-210 NIC to work. The website states that it works on linux but even runnin a live cd doesnt get the device working. I only bought it today so i doubt very much that it is broken [23:29] amarcolino, i've had no issues w/ ext4 and the package manager [23:29] Lauterino: i've used linux since mandrake 7 back in 2001, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+topcontributors and I'm the 2nd highest contributor on Launchpad by a long shot [23:29] ActionParsnip: I sincerely hope you arent protecting a known microsoft employee such as "Simon Raven" ? [23:29] erUSUL: thank you for repeating yourself. I missed that. [23:30] prod-beginner: what chip does it uses? « lspci | grep -i net » [23:30] Lauterino: whats the point of all this.... [23:30] ActionParsnip: Good work dude. [23:30] prod-beginner, it may work w/ Linux, but it may require insalling drivers... which often require restarting, so it may not work on a live cd [23:30] Lauterino: thanks :) [23:30] realtek chip ill get details now [23:30] Ken8521, thanks just making sure since I haven't tried ext4 [23:30] poor realtek fellas.

[23:37] does anyone know how to get rid of the arrow on the main menu ubuntu 10.10?

New to Linux, so if anyone has time to help would be appreciated. I only have a couple of questions.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:51] where is the tomboy plugins folder? [23:51] my NIC is Gammagraphics, Inc. (or missing ID) Device 00809rev10) is now being detected on my 10.04 server install [23:51] What's the best program for burning LiveCDs? [23:51] I have googled myself silly and cant seem to find a driver [23:52] hello? === adrian is now known as Guest20533 [23:52] in windows its a plug and play device and needs no drivers [23:52] Fableflame, are you using Windows or Linux, or what.. to burn them? [23:52] when ubuntu resumes from suspened state, the screen stays off.. any idea? [23:53] Danno: sure, are you about to install another linux-distribution of os, or what do you want to use the freed diskspace for after you uninstall ubuntu? [23:53] *or [23:53] prod-beginner: gammagraphics does not look like a network chip ... are you sure? ( google can not find anything ) [23:53] zaidka: using nvidia video card? [23:53] i just installed jolicloud, its so fast [23:53] ActionParsnip: yes [23:53] guess never going back to windows [23:53] zaidka: guess how i knew ;) [23:53] hello adrian/Guest20533 :-) [23:54] ActionParsnip: 'cause nvidia is crap? [23:54] hello [23:54] the card is packaged as ST lab N-210, on the card there is a realtek chip, and in lspci its gammagraphics |:S [23:54] THanks. I currently have WIndows 7 installed on a 500GB partition. I have another 450GB partition that I use for large file storage. I have a third partition of 50GB where I want to install Ubuntu. I have created a cd and can boot into the graphical install menu. It gives me two options: Install over entire drive (delete existing files) or advanced install. What do I do to install it side by side with windows on the 50GB partition? [23:54] zaidka: nvidia ftw [23:54] at least [23:55] on windows :+ [23:55] xD [23:55] Mud: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:55] zaidka: no nvidia is great, just coming out of suspend etc can be painful with their chips [23:55] i will have to remove the card to be more specific on the chip [23:55] ActionParsnip: so any solution to this? [23:55] Fableflame: Do you need to burn it at all? Unetbootin lets you install a Linux distro on a USB stick easily [23:55] zaidka: it's pink but looks promising: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/03/ati-nvidia-resume-good-news-bad-news.html [23:55] mattbd, I'm burning it for a friend who doesn't have any working USB ports [23:56] lol [23:56] zaidka: you will be hunting for guides like that to get it nice, personally i think suspend is overrated and NOT worth the effort [23:56] ActionParsnip: the previous ubuntu was fine with this [23:56] should i remove the card and google the chip it has on the NIC? [23:56] zaidka: log a regression bug then [23:57] ActionParsnip: also, the screen brightness keys don't work.. any suggestion? [23:57] prod-beginner: is a gigabit card ? [23:57] 10/100 [23:57] zaidka: log a bug [23:57] !shortcut | zaidka [23:57] zaidka: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [23:57] prod-beginner: ok; if it is realtek 10/100 there are two possibilities... [23:58] Fableflame: OK, on Windows I like InfraRecorder. On Ubuntu Brasero and K3B are both pretty good [23:58] does it help to mention there is a realtek onboard the mobo? [23:58] prod-beginner: try this « sudo modprobe 8139too » then run « ifconfig -a » does eth0 appear now ? [23:59] prod-beginner: or eth1 if you already have a eth0 from the mobo [23:59] Danno: yes use the "advanced install" so you can select wich harddisk to install to [23:59] tyvm tryin now
