[00:12] I want the variable to be set thoure the hole console session in all consoles [00:12] linusoleander_: export variable=value [00:13] prod-beginner, but that does not necessarily mean it is as such one, it might even be a clone or derivative of some sort [00:13] linusoleander_: add it to your ~/bashrc ? or ~/.profile [00:13] ActionParsnip: I've tried that, but the varibale dont stick. I'm trying to the a variable in a seperate script [00:13] erUSUL: No, it want it to be set dynamically [00:13] anyone has ever tried this? http://bit.ly/9Oozzt [00:14] i can't get it working on ubuntu 10.04 :( [00:14] linusoleander_: you can add it in ~/.bashrc and it will apply to all consoles [00:14] ok thanx for your help then [00:14] ActionParsnip: Okey, but then I need to remove it after the console is closed [00:15] That seams like a bad idea [00:15] linusoleander_: create a second launcher with 'terminalofchoice -e 'export variable=value' maybe? [00:15] linusoleander_: you can use the same export command in bash scripts if you like [00:15] linusoleander_: if you export it in a bash session it will be only inherited by that bash child shells. [00:16] erUSUL: Okey, that is the problem. I need to set a temp variable that only works in the current console session [00:16] Is there any other way? [00:16] linusoleander_: do not export it [00:17] erUSUL: Same thing, the variable does not stick, after the script is done the variable unsets it self [00:17] linusoleander_: it is that way [00:17] linusoleander_: the script runs in a child shell; if you weant the variable to stick source the script instead of running it [00:17] linusoleander_: the script runs in a child shell; if you want the variable to stick; source the script instead of running it [00:18] linusoleander_: « help source » [00:18] erUSUL: Cool, I can load an external file with the variables in it, then run source on it [00:19] Thanks!

I haven't used netbeans, or raw sockets. [01:01] why that [01:01] blind: i find it more flexible [01:01] andril, oh the conky?

[01:04] ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll look at keytouch. As for Keyboard Shortcuts, I'd rather not completely override my function keys - on the new keyboard, holding the fn key doesn't change the keycode from the function keys.

[01:13] i am making a simple server/client application. i send a packet that has a 3 byte header and my data i want to write to a file following. is there some c string function that can strip the header from the data? or how could i do that by hand [01:13] * Latrinox goes Obiwan with the master sword.

[02:57] You want to use Privoxy with Tor? [02:57] tensorpudding, That's what seems to be recommended in all of the Tor setup docs i've read [02:58] Privoxy can do lots of useful things, like stripping out ads [02:58] tensorpudding, And torproject.org bundles them together [02:58] tor just does the onion routing to mask the source of a connection, privoxy additionally (optionally) masks things like referer, cookies, useragent etc [02:58] it essentially allows you to filter HTTP content, as well as providing a proxying effect [02:58] quiescens, Ah, that makes sense. I see why that would be useful for anonymity. [02:59] So they ultimately do "proxying" in the sense of sending your HTTP traffice through an intermediary server, but they do it in vastly different ways [03:00] anyone awake? [03:01] hello [03:01] nod [03:01] when I used tor I'd try to go to google.com, and it'd send me to google.de or google.co.uk half the time [03:01] tensorpudding, Here's an unrelated question that might pertain to Privoxy.. Do you know of a good way to set up my own HTTP proxy such that my proxy can apply changes to pages as it goes through the proxy, similar to greasemonkey? I have a network and would like to apply greasemonkey-style changes for everyone on the network who requests a certain page, regardless of their OS/browser setup.

Or if it "gets to the desktop" ? [03:07] chod: you're welcome [03:07] yay !!! [03:07] RichardBLand: that message suggests that it doesn't work when the monitor is plugged in either [03:07] because I want to use VNC on it [03:07] RichardBLand: do you just want to run server programs, no need for the GUI [03:07] now i need to rembember that [03:07] it works with the monitor plugged in fine [03:07] :D [03:07] I want to run server and use the GUI as I am new to linux [03:07] What happens when you make an new object of a class with static methods?

But I suggest trying VNC (just because you get a low graphics warning on a monitor plugged into the system does not mean you will have one if you VNC) [03:08] UltraParadigm: You get one copy of the method across all classes [03:08] I am using ssh [03:08] * chod looks at the floor [03:08] erm [03:08] RichardBLand: You might consider XDMCP [03:08] RichardBLand, Then why do you care about the graphics? [03:08] RichardBLand: you can also do ssh -X and use graphical programs [03:08] Im new [03:08] and need GUI as well, to play with [03:09] im really new to this and any help would be appreciated [03:09] I can't find the xorg.conf file, which I believe needs modifying [03:09] there is an ignore effort in x11 [03:09] RichardBLand, Try VNC or ssh -X on the server. If you never plan on attaching a monitor to the machine then don't worry about what happens when you do attach one. [03:09] * chod forgets where [03:09] RichardBLand: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:09] yeah [03:09] it's not there [03:10] RichardBLand: use X -configure to generate one [03:10] RichardBLand, If it doesn't exist you can create it and the machine will use it.

[03:12] tyrone: depends on what you need to do... it will not do what iTunes does with the Apple Store and all that [03:12] tyrone: but you can transfer your music back and forth [03:12] RichardBLand, If there is no monitor it will boot fully.

[03:14] is there a way to modify the config so that i can load a set resolution etc and fully boot to desktop [03:14] so that VNC will start [03:14] soadfreak15: it should be obvious - if not you'll need to provide more information about your graphics card [03:14] izinucs, I would be even happier if the Community page were changed to mention those :D [03:14] chod: what do you mean by it has to be on? [03:15] peter_1898: you're sharing /home with 2 different / and distros? [03:15] izinucs, I'm talking about http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community [03:15] its a xgi volari xp5 [03:15] RichardBLand, What graphics card do you have? [03:15] RichardBLand http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2008/12/13/vnc-to-a-headless-ubuntu-box.aspx [03:15] my fn has a on/pff function [03:15] phew, uhrm [03:15] izinucs, /home/${USER} is mounted via NFS [03:15] with a light :D [03:15] peter_1898: I agree.. lots of pages need updating [03:15] RichardBLand google on headless vnc ubuntu [03:15] yeah I have [03:15] izinucs, and yes, I would like it to work both on systems with ubuntu / and fedora / [03:15] for about an hour now plovs [03:15] it always this busy here? [03:16] chod: yeah the num lock, but when i press it (so it's on), it gives me it in reverse. FN plus O becomes O, and not 6 [03:16] peter_1898: good luck.. there are some ~/.conf differences between the two distros.. including where stuff is placed in / [03:16] izinucs: Where stuff is in / should not matter. [03:16] erm, odd [03:16] RichardBLand the link i sent is quite simple [03:17] I'm not finding what I want. I'd like to be able to control GNOME from the command line -- for instance, to move or resize a window. I see stuff like xnee, which seems a bit low-level. I'm looking for an interface like 'move window XChat 0,0'. [03:17] izinucs: Gconf is designed to be backwards and forwards compatible. [03:17] peter_1898: it has to do with ~/.conf's referencing stuff in / [03:17] edbian: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11349_div/11349_div.html#TechSpecs - Graphics [03:17] chod: ok thanks [03:17] xlong devilspie [03:17] izinucs: There is no ~/.conf [03:17] peter_1898: of course that's totally program dependant.. some will work some won't [03:17] np [03:17] is there a way to compile and install ffmpeg myself without having aptitude clobber it or throw up when installing something that depends on libavcodec52 or whatnot? [03:18] RichardBLand, Those are rather old. Not sure why you're getting low graphics mode. What does lspci -k tell you about your graphics card? [03:18] peter_1898: what I mean by ~/.conf is configuration files in your /home for your settings for different programs. [03:18] izinucs: there is ~/.gnome2, .gnome2_private, .gconf, .gconfd [03:18] Ah, generically [03:18] yes [03:18] plovs, That looks like it may be it, thanks. [03:18] xiong welcom [03:18] peter_1898: now you could share one /home with kubuntu 10.04 and ubuntu 10.04.. [03:19] chrissharp123: this is soadfreak15 idk y it changed but when i did that it comes up with a driver for my wireless adapter [03:19] edbian: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE C hipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01 Kernel modules: i915 [03:19] izinucs: the alternative here to ubuntu working with Fedora is ubuntu not working "right" [03:19] izinucs: dropping Fedora is not an option ;) [03:19] peter_1898: was fedora installed first? [03:19] Yes. [03:19] By about a decade. [03:20] RichardBLand, It found a kernel module. I don't know what the problem is. Sorry [03:20] peter_1898: that's why.. [03:20] yeah [03:20] (to exaggerate a smidge) [03:20] phil_: ok - I see this thread from the Arch Linux forums that might help: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=708575 [03:20] it just dislikes not booting without a monitor attached [03:20] too bad I can't just bypass that warning and stick with the last config it used to boot [03:20] phil_: if you're new, manual xorg.conf configuration can be pretty complicated, but there are lots of resources out there on the web [03:20] RichardBLand: a server install will boot headless.. add X and not the entire desktop and you should be able to ssh -X into it. === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [03:21] Hey guys I am having trouble with my Ubuntu [03:21] On startup [03:21] I get this error [03:21] http://adf.ly/7Y3K [03:21] invisibleman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:22] izinucs: do you know any specific programs that refer to non-home paths? [03:22] www.adf.ly/7Y3K [03:22] RichardBLand: perhaps sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server will overwright the desktop bits preventing a full startup on boot [03:22] invisibleman, don't spam the channe [03:22] :/ [03:22] RichardBLand tightvncserver doesn't care about the local monitor [03:22] peter_1898: nope.. sorry. it just seemed logical to me.. [03:22] invisibleman, goddamn you [03:22] ok [03:22] i'll give it a go plovs [03:23] but I doubt the service will start [03:23] because it doesn't start the VNC service when that message pops up :D [03:23] RichardBLand: you'll have to reboot afterwards.. it'll install the server kernel. [03:23] izinucs: as far as I know, everything belonging to the user is normally stored within the homedir [03:23] how can i tell if i have wireless driver? using direct right now [03:23] Operation Payback - http://boards.4chan.org/b/res/276564619 [03:23] izinucs: as far as I know, the only thing the user needs from / is executables, libraries, and default settings [03:23] peter_1898: yes that's true.. but those configuations in the users folder are distro specific [03:24] izinucs: Well, gconf is designed such that that /should/ be safe. [03:24] hi, any thinkpad user here? have a partitioning question... [03:24] tyrone, if you could wireless driver functioning, you will see your wireless device with command "ifconfig" [03:24] izinucs: I can see that some other .conf confs might not work so well though. [03:24] qfluid, ask [03:24] wondering how I can make a partition for Ubuntu, without wipping out the ability to recover [03:24] peter_1898: that's why you can't mix ubuntu 10.04 and ubuntu 9.10 or 10.10 together with one home.. [03:24] RichardBLand just disable gdm [03:25] plovs, startx ftw :P [03:25] gparted shows three partitions, /dev/sda1 "SYSTEM_DRV", /dev/sda2 "WINDOWS7_OS", /dev/sda3 "Lenovo_RECOVERY"... [03:25] ok, wlan0 and info on it means i have wireless right? [03:25] if I just shrink the /dev/sda2 and add an /dev/sda4...would that works? [03:25] tyrone, yes [03:25] (I am planning to use LVM, so I don't really need an extended partition) [03:26] icarus-c no reason to run x on a server, especially if there is no monitor [03:26] qfluid: Win7 has a "shrink volume" feature - use that [03:26] thanks guys [03:26] plovs, then why the heck you have gdm in the first place [03:26] plovs: if I disable GDM then I won't get anything if I boot it up with a monitor will I [03:26] izinucs: That sounds disappointing. [03:26] Hm. [03:27] RichardBLand: you would get a text prompt [03:27] is there a way to compile and install ffmpeg myself without having aptitude clobber it or throw up when installing something that depends on libavcodec52 or whatnot? [03:27] peter_1898: run one with vbox [03:27] RichardBLand, you still get tty unless you disable them too [03:27] RichardBLand you'll get a command prompt, if you ever need X, you log in and type startx [03:27] hi how can i get nvidia gl drivers working on maverick ? [03:27] chrissharp123: yeah i really dont know where to start but ill try to figure it out [03:27] phil_: good luck [03:27] I have no clue what X is lol [03:27] hello, what the meaning of the left upper icon (a dot) of every window in fluxbox window manager? [03:27] Pr070cal: maveric in #ubuntu+1 [03:27] I've only been using linux for about a week [03:27] i think the wrong resolution or refresh is being set [03:27] izinucs: vbox is unnecessary. There could just be separate homes for the ubuntu system. [03:27] RichardBLand, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_window [03:27] jtduncan: I recently installed ffmpeg via aptitude and never got such issues. [03:28] With symlinks for Documents etc perhaps. [03:28] RichardBLand sorry X is the whole graphical thing, gnome, kde etc [03:28] peter_1898: sure.. of course.. [03:28] :o [03:28] peter_1898, mixing config files for different versions of software is bad : ) keep that in mind [03:28] plovs: you can have X without gnome/kde etc.. x is a different layer.. [03:29] gnome/kde/fluxbox/xfce etc run on top of X11. [03:29] izinucs not if you have been using for a week :-) [03:29] then it is hard enough as it is [03:29] plovs: :) [03:29] p_res: if I install ffmpeg and libavcodec/libavformat/etc. via ffmpeg, then there is no problem....., however, if i install ffmpeg and the associated libraries from source, then installing, say mplayer, from the repositories is going to throw up saying i don't have yaddyyaaddy libraries [03:30] jtduncan: and that's why the repos exist.. packages are matched to run [03:31] jtduncan: I just installed all from the repos along with the ffmpeg gui winff. All working fine here. [03:31] when I launch b43fwcutter from command line should it not launch the ncurses firmware download thing? [03:32] i understand it would all work if i installed from the repos, but i need ffmpeg compiled with a couple of extra flags not enabled in the binary in the repository...... T_T [03:32] p_res, in my experience winff confuses me more than ffmpeg itself.. [03:32] jtduncan: then grab the same source used in the repos.. you can get the source from the repos.. [03:33] izinucs: how does that help? i can't say i understand.... [03:33] jtduncan: recompile with the same source used in the repos as opposed to a newer source that may/maynot have differences. [03:34] jtduncan: it may be a little more work, but you may want to see about building a package with the flags you need. [03:34] icarus-c: Not me. Yeah sometimes use ffmpeg via mpeg. Just depends on what I'm doing. [03:34] via cli I meant [03:34] izinucs: even if i do, then i still have the issue of aptitude not recognizing that i have the various ffmpeg libraries installed since they haven't been registered as such in the dpkg db [03:35] jtduncan: build the deb and then use dpkg to install the deb [03:35] jtduncan: you can also use checkinstall, which installs it as a deb package [03:35] That's what I was getting at [03:35] !checkinstall | jtduncan [03:35] jtduncan: 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! [03:35] i use checkinstall (and love it), but ffmpeg is a bit of a complicated case (so far as i can tell) [03:36] jtduncan: gotta be careful with that, though because it can rip out dependencies without mercy when uninstalling [03:36] the libraries are separate packages from the main binary [03:36] jtduncan: oh - gotcha [03:37] <_aegis> Hi all, I have a question about moving my ubuntu 10.4.1 x64 server to a new array... I've already moved the filesystem to external drives. When I move the filesystem back to the new array, I think grub will probably have problems. Do you have any suggestions on how to address possibly grub issues in advance? [03:37] Hi all, i've recently received a tux droid as a gift and it requires python to write scripts for it. [03:37] i guess my question is ore appropriately, is there a way to mark certain packages as installed without actually installing them? [03:38] Puzzle84, So? [03:38] My problem is that it needs python-xml which requires python2.5 and 2.6 is installed how would i solve this [03:38] !give me a test [03:38] Oh no, I won't, I'm not like some of those nasty scripts' users! [03:39] I am trying to listen to a live church broadcast, however, when I try to listen using totem, there is no sound. The link is: http://lds.org/broadcast/gc/1,5161,9199,00.html [03:40] Puzzle84: looks cool [03:40] Solved: Try in vlc. [03:40] it is pretty cool izinucs but i can't code anything for it without python2.5 i tried removing 2.6 but it's build into the core [03:40] p_res: I have downloaded vlc from the repos, but when the only option that shows up is totem [03:41] Solved: Logout and login again and it will rebuild your menu. Then it should appear. [03:41] It says the link needs to be opened with an application, however, I do not know where to find vlc when in "browse" [03:41] anybody installed ubuntu on a macbook pro? Should I be using 32 or 64 bit version? [03:42] p_res: I allready have logged out and logged in since dowloading vlc from the repos. I dont know what you mean by rebuilding my menu [03:42] where can i find "vlc" in "browse" [03:42] applications sound and video [03:42] chrissharp123, thanks...what I worry more about this potentially MBR issue [03:42] that's where it should be [03:43] Solved: You seem to have a web link, not a streaming link. Go to the website and there are streaming links on the page. [03:44] qfluid: that's why I suggest using Win7's built-in tool - there's less of a chance of the MBR being affected [03:44] p_res what do you mean? [03:44] qfluid: if you have the Win7 install disk, though you can restore the MBR after shrinking with gparted [03:45] p_res: I do not want the video link, i need the audio link [03:45] i have a bash/shell script issue. can any one help? [03:45] Solved open a terminal and "apt-get install vlc it'll be in your applications->audio video [03:45] Solved: For example, the English stream works for me at mms://us-eu-st13g1.att-idns.net/3102_9547_01.asf [03:45] i need some help with x [03:45] chrissharp123, this new laptop I just bought did not provide a win7 install disk [03:45] Puzzle84: have you tried downloading the deb for python-xml in jaunty? http://ns2.canonical.com/jaunty/python-xml [03:45] just (strangely) and XP one... [03:46] even though it come with win7 preinstalled [03:46] haha you should call the company and request the disc [03:46] qfluid: so no recovery disk? [03:46] qfluid: what version of win7? [03:46] Solved: browse to /usr/bin/vlc [03:46] qfluid, maybe you should talk to your dealer [03:46] Solved http://byuradio.org/ they do radio broadcasts [03:47] professional 64-bit [03:47] Puzzle84: of the same conference? [03:47] bought direct from Lenovo [03:47] yes [03:47] i can call them...I remember an old thinkpad I had, they charged me like $20 or something for series of recovery disk [03:47] looking for Kodak 5100 AiO Drivers [03:48] qfluid: yea.. talk to lenovo.. although pro I think can sandbox xp like a vm so you can run xp programs in 7 with no issues. [03:48] qfluid: this is exactly why Ubuntu is a good move for you :-) [03:48] IdleOne: thank you so much, it worked [03:48] if you just bought the computer then the discs should be free [03:48] So does anyone have a clue how i install python 2.5 as a default when python 2.6 is installed by default in ubuntu [03:48] Puzzle84: thanks [03:48] chrissharp123, I am a full time Linux user...but need to keep an Win around for my boss's stuff and updating my phone's firmware [03:48] sigh... [03:48] yw Solved [03:49] so I want basically a minimal Windows... [03:49] qfluid: pain isn't it? [03:49] Puzzle84: would installing an older Ubuntu or debian lenny in a VM be an option for you? [03:49] im having some internet issues that i can pin point. im having an issue connecting to the interent. I have dsl set up with a linksys router. I can connect to my router with one laptop, but when two pcs via wifi attempt to connect, both computers are unable to connect, and on my pc in ubuntu using wicd i get .. bad password errors though, the password is correct and it connects fine with just one pc attempting to connect to the intern [03:49] et [03:49] *cant pin point [03:49] I have another problem. My printer (Cannon MX330) functions fine in Windows XP (I dual boot windows and linux ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32 bit) ), however It will not print in ubuntu? why is this? [03:49] uhm i could just install an older ubuntu if need be but wouldn't that always update the newest software chrissharp123? [03:50] izinucs, yeah...my lab has a license for MATLAB windows, not Linux, and I am not about to hand out cash for that :( [03:50] anybody installed ubuntu on a macbook pro? Should I be using 32 or 64 bit version? [03:50] hi all [03:50] Puzzle84: an older Ubuntu version would keep the older Python version [03:50] emanu 64bit if it's new [03:51] Puzzle84: it wouldn't upgrade to 2.6 [03:51] chrissharp123 how would i figure out which one has 2.5? [03:51] * chrissharp123 checks [03:51] emanu: if it's an intel based macbook pro, use amd64 [03:51] My printer (Cannon MX330) functions fine in Windows XP (I dual boot windows and linux ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32 bit) ), however It will not print in ubuntu? why is this? [03:52] Puzzle84: hardy was the last ubuntu with 2.5: http://ns2.canonical.com/hardy/python [03:52] noneaan: Solved because you haven't installed linux drivers for it? [03:52] greppy. Thanks [03:52] Puzzle84: thanks [03:52] izinucs: how do i get the linux driver for it? [03:52] kk i installed this as uhm a windows file would there be a windows installer for that ubuntu version i can't lose my windows 7 install.. wedding stuff and such :P [03:53] Puzzle84: and Debian lenny (current stable) runs 2.5 as well [03:53] ah i might try debian then [03:53] Solved: did you check the cannon site for it?

[03:58] so i should get debian lenny? [03:58] can anybody offer some help with tor/privoxy (polipo) [03:58] Puzzle84: or Ubuntu Hardy (supported until April 2011) [03:58] izinucs: after i download the driver, what do i do with the downloaded file to get the printer to work? [03:58] anyway [03:58] which one would you recommend for a linux beginner? [03:59] is there a way to set the custom size of my terminal windows again? [03:59] mateo: try installing the bcmwl-kernel-source package [03:59] chrissharp123, I did that already [03:59] Solved: you'll need to follow their instructions.. that's a multi-function unit.. they are not all the same. [03:59] hi chrissharp [03:59] mateo: did you restart afterwards? [03:59] yes [03:59] mak69: hi [03:59] chrissharp123, I have installed a lot of drivers by now, maybe they are conflicting :S [04:00] need some help on tv tuner [04:00] hey, i recently switched to ubuntu, but im having problems finding drivers for my sony hd cam. from what i can tell sony doesnt have any drivers for linux. is there anywhere to find drivers or anything i can do to get it up and running? [04:00] nyxuz: get it up and running in what way.. to import video you've shot? [04:01] mateo: actually - that's a common situation - conflicting kernel drivers - you might remove them all then try again one by one [04:01] to run it as a webcam [04:01] in msgr programs or flash sites [04:01] chrissharp123, I don't know how to resolve them [04:01] nyxuz, usually linux got most drivers out of the box [04:01] nyxuz: are you connecting it with usb? [04:01] I just installed every related package [04:01] firewire [04:01] nyxuz install the kernel headers too [04:01] how would i go about doing that [04:01] nyxuz, to use webcam, try to run "cheese" to see if your webcam working or nit [04:02] mateo: ah - not sure what to advise then [04:02] install the latest kernel and the headers of it, then try to see if system is able to handle your webcam [04:02] nyxuz: sometimes firewire has issues.. but install a program called cheese .. if it works there it typically will work anywhere. [04:02] I just downloaded the driver for my printer (Canon MX330). What do I do now to make my printer work? [04:02] ok, cool [04:02] ill try cheese [04:02] thanks so much [04:02] while running tvtime i receive hardware yuy2 overlay error......no idea what 2 do, any help? [04:02] if not, try to find a driver, or try to get the real chipset of your webcam then go to the webcam chipset manufacturer and look for a drive... advice, you could end in a chinese website looking for the driver... but, anyway... [04:02] nyxuz: there's also two basic versions of capture.. v4l and anther that I can't remember right now [04:03] nyxuz: switch between them with cheese [04:03] chrissharp123, would ubuntu or debian be the better choice for a linux beginner like me ? [04:03] hola.. [04:03] Puzzle84: ubuntu [04:03] Solved: have you tried adding the printer via System - Administration - Printing? there are a lot of Canon drivers there [04:03] alright [04:03] downloading hardy now [04:03] thanks for the help btw [04:03] is there any way to make nautilus sort the files by characters and letters? [04:03] Puzzle84: agreed - Ubuntu [04:03] Puzzle84: not hardy [04:03] Don't download Hardy [04:03] not only by letters [04:03] ok, ill install them both and see if i have any luck [04:03] Hardy is over two years old [04:03] Puzzle84: that's way out of date.. get 10.04 [04:04] izinucs: he needs a version running Python 2.5, so I recommended that Puzzle84 run hardy or debian lenny [04:04] Lucid is the current version, although if you wait a week Maverick will be released === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [04:04] chrissharp123: yes i have, there was nothing there for the MX330 though [04:04] chrissharp123: ah.. I had forgotten his issues from earlier. [04:04] I just downloaded the driver for my printer (Canon MX330). What do I do now to make my printer work? [04:05] Solved: sometimes a driver for a similarly numbered version will work [04:05] 10.04 = greqt [04:05] hye all :) [04:05] great even [04:05] i need to sort the files in the browser by additional characters and letters, is there a way to tell ubuntu to do that? [04:05] Solved: I have a Canon MP210 and use MP220 drivers fine [04:05] anybody using openvpn? how can I setup the openvpn to be able to use with network manager in ubuntu client? [04:05] mmm [04:05] ok [04:05] so i just go to printing and click add? [04:06] guys not able to run tvtime, any help? [04:06] Solved: yes - it's pretty straightforward [04:06] MrKreuner i end messing the system while trying to use the openvpn ubuntu manager... [04:06] Solved: what's the name of the file including the extension at the end [04:06] i dont know? [04:06] oh [04:06] nvm [04:06] I've made a list of png files by using 'ls -AC1 > imagelist.txt'. I want to use each filename in that text file as the input parameter for a command ./iPhonePNG How can I pipe the output to that command? [04:06] MrKeuner: there is an openvpn plugin for network manager, I haven't tried it myself yet, but it's there. [04:07] i need to sort files in nautilus... but nautilus sort them in a wrong way... it sorts like this [04:07] how to i get xgi volari xp5 drivers to work? [04:07] aww [04:07] Smoodo: try 'cat imagelist.txt | [04:07] izinucs: cnijfilter-mx330series-3.10-1-i368-deb.tar.gz [04:07] Smoodo: cat imagelist.txt [04:07] greppy, yeah, just couldn't figure out how to set up openvpn server for using it [04:07] d'oh :-) [04:07] Solved: it's compressed it looks like.. point at it and right mouse click then extract [04:07] MrKeuner: do you have an openvpn server (on a different computer) [04:08] greppy, yes [04:08] i need to sort files in nautilus... but nautilus sort them in a wrong way... it sorts like this "a file" "{ b file" "c file"... but the order i need is something like "{ b file" "a file" "c file"... is there any way to make nautilus sort files that way? [04:08] Smoodo: 'cat imagelist.txt | ./iPhonePNG' - sorry - I'm apparently losing my ability to type :-) [04:08] chrissharp: It just reports back, "Usage: ./iPhonePNG " Which means that no filename was passed to it. [04:08] * cablop wonders if that's possible... [04:08] greppy, I am having trouble configuring the openvpn server on different computer [04:08] can some please help me install broadcom firmware from the command line [04:09] MrKeuner: glancing at it, it should be as simple as filling in the correct information in the network manager app [04:09] chrissharp: You think I need to use xargs in there somehow... or? [04:09] izinucs: ok i extracted it [04:09] now what [04:09] Smoodo: 'for i in `cat imagelist.txt`; do ./iPhonePNG $i; done' [04:09] Smoodo: try that [04:09] Solved: now the extracted file.. does it end in .deb [04:10] izinucs: yes it does [04:10] chrissharp123: Freaking awesome... thanks! === xuekan is now known as rabbit_kan [04:10] Solved: is the printer plugged in? [04:10] Smoodo: great - glad it worked for you ;-) [04:10] izinucs: yes [04:10] i need help to sort files in nautilus... nautilus sort them in a wrong way... it sorts like "a file" "{ b file" "c file"... but the right order is "{ b file" "a file" "c file"... is there any way to make nautilus sort files correctly? [04:11] !repeat | cablop [04:11] cablop: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [04:11] Solved: unplug it.. then double click the .deb file and see if it tries to install. [04:11] xangua: i remade the question, i though it was hard to understand, just that [04:11] cablop: view -> arrange by [04:11] greppy: let me check [04:11] cablop: sorry, view -> arrange items [04:12] greppy, it is asking for a gateway for example... I have no clue what that might be [04:12] cablop, let me know if you get an answer. I would also like to change Nautilus's lexicographic ordering [04:12] MrKeuner: that would be the ip of your openvpn server [04:12] or hostname [04:12] greppy: there's no arrange by there [04:13] greppy, I think cablop is asking how to change the lexicographic ordering of nautilus so that it won't skip over special characters, but rather will compare the special character as < all letters (like Windows Explorer does) [04:13] cablop: hrm, there is on my default install of 10.04 [04:13] Guest26463: ah, no idea then. [04:13] Just upgraded from a laptop from UNR 10.04 to 10.10 and Unity doesn't work due to my lack of 3D hardware. Anyone know how to remove Unity from the command line?

I've wanted the same functionality. When I used to use Windows, I would name folders starting with two underscores (e.g. __Special) so they would be first in the sort, but Nautilus's ordering ignores the underscores. I've never found a solution. [04:15] Solved: and it looked like it installed? [04:15] cablop, but Nautilus is open source, so theoretically it is possible to make the change and recompile it :P [04:15] izinucs: it asked for my password, then a bunch of stuff happened, so i think so [04:15] Solved: ok.. now ..sudo system cups restart .. [04:15] xangua: cheers. I'm rebooting it now [04:16] izinucs: sliver@koerber-desktop:~$ sudo system cups restart [04:16] sudo: system: command not found [04:16] sliver@koerber-desktop:~$ [04:16] Solved: service [04:16] service cups restart [04:17] xangua: still got the white screen after restart, should I move this to #ubuntu+1 ? [04:17] is there a way to just recreate my user's home directory? i made a mistake and lost all my files anyway, i'd like to start with some default configurations [04:17] Solved: DingGGu is right.. my bad.. sudo service cups restart [04:17] Guest26463: awwwww... i can cry... i'm moved to Ubuntu after a Windows crash and i was willing to restore my system... i use something similar as you... but using _ { [ ( - ° and so on... [04:17] dingggu: thnx [04:17] ^^ [04:17] Solved: after that plug the printer in and see what happens [04:17] izinucs: now what [04:17] ok [04:18] but do you know udevd has 100 percent used cpu? [04:18] izinucs: do i need to move the file to somewhere else other than downloads? [04:18] i think ubuntu's bug [04:18] Solved: nope..

[04:20] icarus-c: ok thanks [04:20] Solved: you got lucky.. are you in europe or australia? because that driver isn't available in the U.S. [04:20] izinucs: canada eh? [04:20] anybody dont know udev bug? [04:21] Solved: wow.. when I googled.. everything said it was available outside the us. of course canada is.. almost :) .. glad it works. ! [04:21] MrKeuner: no, you should have another interface, either a tap0 or a tun0 depending on your configuration, in a terminal "ifconfig" should list all of your interfaces [04:22] knolls: you can just recreate the home directory, yes. copy over /etc/skel/* to get the default stuff normally created for a new user account. [04:22] Is there a compiz help room? interestingly enough this new empathy client, although having alot of functions, won't let me bring up a room list [04:23] how do you you unload modules - FATAL: Module mac80211 is in use? [04:25] thanks bobstro [04:25] greppy, this is what I see on the server side syslog: TLS Error: cannot locate HMAC in incoming packet from [04:26] knolls: there are hidden files in there, so be sure they copy over. [04:27] greppy, I have shown ca.crt, client.crt and client.key to the network manager. Network manager didn't ask for ta.key file anywhere, could that be the reason for this error message/ [04:27] Hello [04:28] MrKeuner: not sure, i've only ever setup openvpn using files in /etc/openvpn, never used the network manager plugin. [04:29] greppy, all right thank you [04:38] . [04:39] did everything just stop for 10 minutes? [04:40] hi, how can I boot into verbose mode without the splash screen? I think something happened in the upgrade to the Maverick RC, but nobody's responding in the #ubuntu+1 room [04:41] jdsbluedevl: you can check dmesg from cli or edit /boot/grub.cfg and eliminate the quiet splash at the end of the kernel line [04:41] izinucs: that's not it. I can't even boot up without it freezing at the splash screen [04:41] that's why I want to boot into verbose [04:42] jdsbluedevl: sorry I don't have the answer.. my only other suggestion would be to edit the grub file via a live cd [04:43] Hi [04:43] latest realplayer 11gold is not running in my mozilla browser === crack is now known as banjarian [04:43] any idea to fix this?

I have ubuntu and Vista now, but want Fedora also. I'm not sure exactly how to go about it. [05:15] hi psycho what was that [05:15] mak69, you shouldn't have pasted the output into the channel, you should have used pastebin to prevent flooding of channel [05:16] how can I setup a static ip address? and will it work if my router is set to auto assign ips? [05:16] hi [05:16] ok, as i am new to Xchat not aware of the tools here === dunhill is now known as Guest69426 [05:16] hi [05:16] allen__, as long as the fedora is in relatively latest version (uses the same grub boot loader as ubuntu) it should be ok [05:17] mak69, pastebin is not a tool that comes with your IRC client. It is a website where you can paste text, then link to it in the channel [05:17] that way you're not pasting multiple lines to the channel [05:17] which people regard as spam [05:17] ubuntu is good [05:17] allen__: you can but if you're just checking it out run it in virtualbox [05:17] Snakkah: Your the first I've seen who asked about it but that does not make it better/worse. From what I have read it is implementing many advance file system features for data-center/cluster focused applications/operations. [05:17] jexmex, you can use networkmanager to set static ips and the computer will not automatically obtain IP address from the router even if the router is handing out IP addresses or not [05:18] Can anyone tell me why I am denied access when I try to run a program that I created? [05:18] if any1 here doesnt have a solution for tv tuner can u please let me know how to have vista on my pc without having to format ubuntu [05:18] rusivi, I see. So it's more geared for server/network use? [05:18] psycho_oreos, I looked in there (btw on i am on kubuntu but that channel is dead), but it looks like I dont have any connections created? [05:18] Psycho_oreos, If I just partition my hard drive one more time with Gparted, then install Fedora 13 too that partition, the grub I have no will pick it up automatically? [05:19] possibly you're not the owner of the file or you don't have the correct permissions to execute the file Detroit_Bad_Boy [05:19] allen__: If you run sudo update-grub [05:19] mak69, try a virtual box [05:19] I set myself as administrator [05:19] izinucs, Thanks. Yup I've already done that, and like what I saw. [05:19] Hi. I need help setting up Samba so that only a valid user can access a private share. This is my current configuration: http://www.pastebin.org/12770 The private share is accessible without a username and password, despite me forcing a "valid users = existinguser" flag. What am I doing wrong? [05:19] jexmex: I installed wicd on kubuntu to set a static ip.. you'll have to uninstall knetworkmanager to do it. [05:19] peter_1898, after installation? [05:19] Snakkah: For now with the intent to make it fully applicable to end-user/administrator alike. [05:19] jexmex, its best to ask and wait for support in kubuntu, as ubuntu and kubuntu uses different front ends, I think there's wicd for it.. but if you used command line its all the same [05:20] psycho_oreos: I set myself as administrator [05:20] is that a app from ubuntu [05:20] allen__: After booting to Ubuntu after installing Fedora. I don't know how Fedora will deal with Ubuntu already existing, it might add Ubuntu to the grub /it/ installs. [05:20] allen__, it should but again, its probably best to double check if fedora has grub v2 or you may face issues [05:20] jexmex?? [05:20] Detroit_Bad_Boy, then its still permissions issue [05:20] psycho_oreos, what sort of issues? [05:21] psycho_oreos, allen__ Fedora 13 does not use grub v2 [05:21] allen__, vista may or may not boot, though there maybe are workarounds I think [05:21] are there any free voip apps for ubuntu 10.04? [05:21] Peter-1898, that's good to hear! [05:21] please help. i just installed a new grafix card. nvidia gts 450. i had removed the previous nvidia drivers before upgrade. however, now hardware manager does not show any nvidia drivers to download [05:21] psycho_oreos: how do I change permissions? [05:21] peter_1898, ahh oh well, that's for allen__ to sort out [05:22] hola [05:22] alguien conoce un canal tucumano? [05:22] peter_1898, I honestly don't care if vista boots anymore, I'm thinking of getting rid of it altogether, last time I was on there was probably 2 months ago [05:22] Chaos2358 If you consider Skype-2-Skype only free... [05:22] allen__, not necessarily, ubuntu as of >=9.10 uses grub2 which can and will be overwritten by grub1 on fedora if one is not careful [05:22] hrm, adding a new connection did not seem to work [05:22] ANYTHING OTHER THEN SKYPE?

[05:23] Hmm...I keep reading that the benchmarks for btrfs vs ext4 show that ext4 still outperforms it.

[05:23] rusivi is that hehe a yes? [05:23] allen__: Vista will work after installing linux if you do it right. HOWEVER [05:23] allen__, you maybe able to specify that during install, best to ask in #fedora [05:23] my isp for some reason has capped http downloads to 50kB/s ,is there a way i can use any proxy to bypass this ?

[05:49] wtfckd: should in recovery mode [05:49] It worked for a little than I alt+Ctrl + f7 and went out and tried going back in. [05:49] In recovery mode it hands izinucs.

[05:50] tensorpudding, after having gparted i can resize it from den and there right? grub to the mbr? [05:50] mak69: you need to run it from a live environment, because you can't resize an active partition [05:50] moetunes : to resume, i have installed ebox from zenthial, i have desinstalled it and now , the only way to desinstall kind of package is synaptic because aptitude doesn't work [05:50] seidos: what do you mean? [05:50] mak69: which version of of windows is this? [05:51] Should I reinstall? IT will be the 6th time today. [05:51] izinucs, nevermind, figured it out [05:51] how do I make a module load on reboot [05:51] lbt_: are you using maverick ubuntu? [05:52] <\DSAFEW\> wtfckd, why on earth have you re-installed 5 times? [05:52] tensorpudding, i am willing to install either vista or xp as i am facing trouble accessing tv tuner card here, but i dont wish to format ubuntu either [05:52] moetunes : lynx lucide [05:52] k [05:52] mak69: in general if you can back up your personal data on the ubuntu install, it'll be faster and simpler to format, install windows then reinstall ubuntu [05:53] I was an idiot and kept thinking I messed up the install because after installing the graphics drivers ubuntu told me to after reboot I would get a blank screen. Found out it's the driver that ubuntu told me to install that caused the blank screen. [05:53] So I looked online and seem to have found a fix. [05:53] But, the fix requires console. [05:53] lbt_: you could try sudo apt-get install -f to see if it fixes things [05:53] tensorpudding: but i wish to keep windows permanently alon with ubuntu [05:53] wtfckd, how did you install the graphic driver, and what card/drive is it [05:54] What's the location of the default jaunty desktop background? I want to copy it to my images folder so I can keep it [05:54] <\DSAFEW\> wtfckd, have you tried booting from another kernel or pushing kernel params to get single-user mode? [05:54] it'll be nvidia [05:54] Make that default lucid background [05:54] I did not intall it myself, an icon popped up that looked like a green pci card in the panel. [05:54] It told me that I needed to install it to basically get the most out of my graphics card, I beleive I read something about proprietary. and its a g210m. [05:55] DSAFE, I am sorry I do not know what that is. [05:55] Does it matter which partition table type you use to create a partition table on a drive? [05:55] it'll be nvidia [05:55] mak69: okay, if you really want to do it without formatting ubuntu [05:55] kubuntu is dead and i got lonely - hi guys :-) [05:55] Yeah its nvidia. [05:55] I have the latest drivers but need to get into console to install them,. [05:55] mak69: you need to make a bootable Ubuntu Live CD [05:55] having problems with movie player [05:56] <\DSAFEW\> wtfckd, well the grub menu lets you edit the starting parameters for each kernel, and let you pick which kernel to boot from [05:56] Is a kernel an OS in linux terms? [05:56] we need an audio/video program like Paltalk [05:56] i can't stand using the paltalk express [05:56] mak69: If you still have the CD/DVD that you installed Ubuntu with, you can use that. [05:56] <\DSAFEW\> wtfckd, if you don't know what that is, you only have the one kernel to try, nevertheless you will be able to boot to a command prompt instead of straight to GUI [05:56] what is the path for sources.list? [05:56] wtfckd, kernel is kernel. generally when we say OS, we refering to kernel + system software [05:56] I have tried booting into command prompt DSAFE, via recovery correct? [05:57] AbhiJit: /etc/apt/sources.list [05:57] moetunes : thanks i have learned something this morning [05:57] wtfckd, no [05:57] rwat, ok [05:57] :( [05:57] rww, ok [05:57] lbt_: np :} [05:57] AbhiJit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:57] wtfckd: A kernel is the core of the OS, it's not able to run by itself, but it provides the basic routines which all the major system software runs on [05:57] So Gnome is a kernel? [05:57] Anyone know the path of the default background images in lucid? [05:57] <\DSAFEW\> wtfckd, windows has a kernel too, but it's much too frightening for anyone at microsoft to talk about [05:57] i had a problem today also with a package and could not remove it also and tried -f install and also it would not work so what i did was search the file name and found it than gksu nautilus than went to it and deleted file and it fixed it [05:58] wtfckd, gnome is the desktop environment. not part of the OS technically [05:58] usr/share/background? [05:58] wtfckd: no, Gnome is not a kernle, and \DSAFEW\ Windows is not a kernel either [05:58] try /usr/share/wallpapers Flynsarmy [05:58] wtfckd, linux kernel as in NT kernel of Windows [05:58] <\DSAFEW\> ectospasm, I said windows HAS a kernel [05:58] !kernel [05:58] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [05:58] Windows has a kernel, called NT, which is a few years short of being as old as Linux. [05:58] \DSAFEW\: I see that now. Sorry [05:58] ok, can someone pleae explain this: bug (Ubuntu: #77010) was 'fixed' by disabling system beeps in several places in the system. can someone please please PLEASE tell me where those places are so i can undo that? i already fixed /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf but my shell is still silent on an invalid autocomplete or when holding backspace and its making it VERY difficult for me to work [05:58] olskolirc_: ElCerebr0 thanks [05:58] I do not want to stray away from my issue with kernel talk :D But thanks. How would I go about fixing my ise?su [05:58] only root is able to change passwords, but not normal users. running strace gives the following error passwd: Authentication token mani"..., 48passwd: Authentication token manipulation error wondering if i could get some tips as to how to troubleshot this issue thank you everyone...

[05:59] and probably never will [05:59] <\DSAFEW\> wtfckd, you can get into a recovery mode from the install CD, or edit the grub line and add "single" without the quotes to boot to single-user mode [05:59] xxxx floodbot [05:59] <\DSAFEW\> someone tell him if I'm wrong [06:00] Can I use a live usb to get into recovery?

[06:01] Lord_Nightmare, if you see a line "blacklist pcspkr" that is what disable the system beep [06:01] jonathan@jzgs:~/zerstoren$ grep pcspkr /etc/modprobe*/* [06:01] /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:# blacklist pcspkr [06:01] /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf~:blacklist pcspkr [06:01] not anymore [06:01] Lord_Nightmare: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

The file wants you to goto a site and fill out one of those dumb surveys, which I dont want to do. I downloaded and installed John the Ripper, but I dont know how to make it crack the password... anybody have any suggestions? [06:01] Im beginning to miss mandriva b/c all you do is put the cd in, click recover and click reinstall grub and get your dual boot back after installing windows [06:02] Lord_Nightmare, so if you want to enable system beep, remove "blacklist pcspkr" line from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf or vice versa [06:02] mak69: one thing that is very helpful for those who want to use both Windows & Ubuntu seemlessly is to virtualize one within the other (I use Ubuntu as host, Windows as Guest, VirtualBox as virtualization platform) [06:02] Ugh I would not mind reinstalling but would rather not. [06:02] g0st, don'tdo it at all [06:02] icarus-c: already done that [06:02] I want to read the books... [06:02] g0st: I don't think that John the Ripper supports PDF files [06:02] ahh [06:02] the books are a front [06:02] Lord_Nightmare, and you may want to probe pcspkr module to enable it for the current session too [06:02] 3arqay [06:02] already done that [06:02] and it works fine in xchat [06:02] g0st: JtR is only for OS passwords.

Be back in 15 minutes. [06:04] g0st, even after filling and doing you will still never get the pass word but someone got your backdoor [06:04] <\DSAFEW\> wtfckd, you can try to boot to "single" mode, then install the correct drivers and reboot, that's the safest bet, re-installing is a waste of time [06:04] what i suspect the issue is is a define in the kernel, something along the lines of HDA_DISABLE_SYSTEM_BEEPS is responsible [06:04] Ok. [06:04] <\DSAFEW\> wtfckd, when grub comes up, press "E" to edit [06:04] i'm not CERTAIN that's the case though [06:05] <\DSAFEW\> wtfckd, or something like that [06:05] I beleive it is E. [06:05] Then what? [06:06] well, i guess ill have to look around for another compilation or get them individually [06:06] G0di-, edit /etc/hostname [06:06] g0st, and then edit /etc/hosts as well [06:06] I got it.

Console works on live usb. [06:15] wtfckd: did you try booting off usb with boot init=/bin/sh ? [06:16] No I did not. [06:16] ElCerebr0, brasero which comes with ubuntu does that. [06:16] if i have a mouse and a keyboard i should have no problem tho right [06:16] yes [06:16] Where would I put that command lord? [06:17] Anyway, I have a question, can I install a graphics driver if I am in console via live usb? [06:17] Like would the changes be permanent? [06:17] Poofyball: Ideally, no problem. In your situation, we will have to see ;) [06:17] how do i tell ubuntu 10.04 to use a different video driver? its using r300 it needs to use r482 (i think) [06:18] genewitch, xf86 radeon driver handles automatically [06:18] mflgm [06:18] can i flip it? [06:19] like to landscape mode? [06:19] icarus-c: it's not. when i come out of suspend or hibernate the screen artifacts and restarting gdm does not fix it [06:19] icarus-c: driconf reports R300, but i have an xpress 200m [06:19] Problem: When I boot up ubuntu, it shows my desktop pictures, and desktop icons (Home, Recycle Bin etc.) for a few seconds, then it HIDES THE DESKTOP BACKGROUND and the ICONS. and shows me a plain BROWN background. How do I fix this? [06:19] it sux [06:19] genewitch: I had the same problem with post-hibernate visual GUI glitching [06:19] icarus-c? [06:19] Forget it. [06:19] didn't katzklaw make an ircd called icarus [06:19] lol [06:20] Reinstalling ubuntu now as I type. [06:20] rusivi: it's a driver issue, i've had this with other ati cards with the wrong driver picked [06:20] genewitch, look. no matter what ati card you got, you would probably be using radeon === ubuntu is now known as amarcolino [06:20] genewitch: mine was contained to just the trash bin only [06:20] Rusivi, having an issue with my nvidia driver too. [06:20] icarus-c: how do i tell which one it is using? [06:20] genewitch, and that screen flickers or whatever after resume is common problem [06:20] IT came up as "ubuntu tested" and told me to update. [06:20] genewitch, look at /etc/log/Xorg.0.log [06:20] Screwed it up. [06:21] genewitch: it may the wrong driver or the state of which your driver being used is in. [06:21] genewitch, only 3 drivers support ati card: radeon. radeonhd (r500-r700 only), and vesa (the generic driver of all card) [06:21] icarus-c: and fglrx [06:22] i don't have an Xorg log [06:22] right but that is proprietary and real crappy from my experience some time ago :-S [06:22] hey all!! what can be the reason behind the blinking of the power on/off button on my laptop? [06:22] it is /var/log [06:22] genewitch, oops sorry i mean /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:22] wtfckd: What issue have you noticed w/ your nvidia driver? [06:22] depending on your card, i fixed my atihd card with this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1464748 [06:22] theos, it depends on the model. but typically low power, during suspend [06:23] it says the driver - is ATI [06:23] icarus-c, hmm power is fine. and its not suspended either [06:24] wtfckd: you would put that command on the kernel boot commandline before startup; try holding ctrl or space when booting; if you get a grub menu, add that to the end of the boot command line for one entry [06:24] ok the radeon driver says it supports the 200M chipset... how do i force it to use that set of drivers rather than the R300? [06:25] wtfckd: try googling 'grub boot menu' and 'commandline' [06:25] I got into it Lord and added single but nothing happened. [06:25] I had a live usb so I am reinstalling it, its at 93% right now. [06:25] Took about 5 minutes. [06:27] init=/bin/sh should instantly dump you to a root prompt [06:27] hi everybody! I have problems with my GUI on Ubuntu 9.04. I have tried with: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and dpkg-reconfigure gdm but doesn't work :-( what you could recommend me to try? (thaks in advance) [06:27] so what should i search to fix this artifacting on resume? [06:28] genewitch: Let me get some info on that for you [06:28] artifacting on resume... you mean screen gibberish, then you have to switch consoles to get rid of it? [06:28] where did they move xorg.conf? [06:28] genewitch: i have no idea, was hunting for it myself [06:28] Lord_Nightmare: the GUI. i have to restart (sometimes hard reset) to clear it up [06:29] what about switching to console mode and back [06:29] ctrl-alt-F1 then ctrl-alt=F7 [06:29] crtl-alt-F2? [06:29] let me try that [06:29] ctrl-alt-f7 is to switch back === darkdelusions_ is now known as darkdelusions [06:30] olá pessoal algum brasileiro aqui ? [06:30] genewitch: You may mark yourself "affected by this" on bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/602475 [06:31] genewitch, ubuntu got no xorg.conf by default. so Xorg settings are auto configured. === _Mash is now known as MashPotato [06:31] genewitch: if your glitching is more/less severe or affects more may want to look further into it. [06:31] genewitch, you could obtain the xorg.conf with auto configured settings by command "X -configure" [06:32] Ext2 vs Ext3 vs Ext4? I'm not sure where to start. [06:32] antIP, as you have asked such question, you probably should use ext4 [06:32] antIP Ext4 has best end-user performance from personal experience. [06:32] +1 ext4 [06:32] Lord_Nightmare: nope, cause F1 is broken too [06:32] antIP everything I did in ext3 is noticeably faster using ext4 [06:33] had to hard reset [06:33] the only down side of ext4 is that older kernel doesn't support it. [06:33] i am going to try x-configure [06:33] genewitch, have you tried kernel system requests? :-S [06:33] * X -configure [06:33] icarus-c: I don't know what that means [06:34] genewitch, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-magic-system-request-keys-in-ubuntu-linux.html [06:36] hm [06:36] the other down side of ext4 is that 3rd. party tools don't understand it. I once needed to run a 3rd. party file recovery program. It wouldn't have been possible with ext4... [06:37] how do I change the position of the popup notifyer? [06:37] DualProxy: drag it [06:37] tensorpudiing: i got gparted installed what i could see is ubuntu is spread all over now how do i create free space [06:37] icarus-c rusivi rusivi - Thanks. I'm noticing a theme here. Someone else told me ext3, but I can't remember why. [06:38] hi there !! [06:38] erm, hello. I have a question on dualbooting ubuntu on a mac from a USB drive; namely, whether that is even possible [06:38] icarus-c I just bought a new 1tb drive that I'm using for back up, and I'm creating the primary partition. That's why I was asking. [06:38] Blackbird, you better ask mac folks can you boot from usb on mac [06:38] tensorpudding: i'm not able to create a new partition, there is a key symbol as if it is secure [06:39] well you can, only in certain cases [06:39] I just came on here to see if anyone has done it [06:39] Blackbird: the easy way is to load bootcamp and then have it access the USB drive [06:39] if you can boot from usb, you also can run ubuntu from it .. [06:39] because most of the stuff I can get online is "well we're not really sure..." [06:39] mak69: are you running gparted from a live cd like i said? [06:39] but it depends, if you can boot that machine from usb .. [06:39] Blackbird: bootcamp bypasses efi, IIRC [06:39] icarus-c can windows read from a ext drive? [06:39] genewitch: Does not work, do you know the programs name? [06:39] antIP, no [06:39] DualProxy: for what [06:39] not without several patches, no, antIP [06:39] antIP, windows only support NTFS and FAT [06:39] ive seen the mac tech's boot from usb drives [06:40] genewitch: the notifications. As this is a mint install I want to look in to if they are the same [06:40] genewitch: I'm using a different bypasser but... [06:40] well, it should probably work [06:40] tensorpudding: am i supposed to insert a windows bootable cd now [06:40] DualProxy: oh, menu > prefrences > pop-up notifications or in a terminal "notification-properties" [06:40] antIP, but their are some third party program could access EXT file system. but i wouldn't expect them to be stable enough to use [06:40] icarus - BLackbird - I wonder if I should set my back up drive as NTFS in case I ever need to have a windows machine read from it. (I don't run windows, but...0 [06:41] windows :S [06:41] genewitch: Thanks. [06:41] tensorpudding: right now i have the gparted table open [06:41] mak69: you need to get your ubuntu install disk and boot from it [06:41] icarus-c - I suppose if I needed to transfer something to a windows machine I could just burn it to cd. [06:41] antIP, um... when you do recovery, you could simply use a linux livecd, right? [06:41] joint #ubuntuforums, #ubuntu+1 [06:41] icarus-c - yeah, I always use ubuntu live cd [06:42] whats the name of the prerelease chan for the new ubuntu [06:42] back up drive should be set to fat32 [06:42] unless you happen to carry around huge files [06:42] Blackbird, are you seriously? [06:42] join #ubuntuforums, #ubuntu+1 [06:42] 4GB-1bye limit [06:42] well, nobody in +1 wants to help with my splash-screen issue. Anyone here have an idea? [06:42] mak69: but instead of installing you want to choose the "Try Ubunut without any change to your computer" option [06:42] icarus-c, unless you haul around masses of DVD-size disk images [06:42] joint #ubuntuforums, #ubuntu+1 [06:42] tensorpudding: okay, and then...will i be able to open gparted from there [06:42] one usually does not have that many files of that sort [06:42] join #ubuntuforums, #ubuntu+1 [06:42] icarus-c: so that leaves out huge archives and blu-ray zips [06:42] tensorpudding: fine....... [06:43] thanks [06:43] oh, well in that case, go with NTFS, sure. Support'll be a bit sketchy, but it should work [06:43] hi, i installed xubuntu 10.04 and i want to install openoffice 3.2.1, but i dont know how, can someone tell me how to do it??? [06:43] icarus-c I've heard good things about butterFS, when is that coming? [06:43] antIP, you meant btrfs ? [06:43] which file is good to write iptables commands to be run at each boot time? [06:44] tensorpudding: okay then shall i go for it [06:44] MrKeuner, iptable.rules [06:44] isaias: download it from openoffice.org [06:44] genewitch: did you do ctrl-alt-F2 then ctrl-alt-F7? [06:44] if f1 is broken, f2 works fine [06:45] [Ubuntu 10.04.1 after resume-from-ram] '~$ mount; /dev/sdc1 on /media/WD1.5_1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks).' but there is no drivemount-applet to be seen. Is this a bug? [06:45] xangua: i already did that but its tar.gz?? [06:45] icarus-c, I do not have that file somehow [06:45] MrKeuner, in /etc/iptables ? [06:45] iptables rocks! [06:45] mak69: you need to run gparted from the cd, because you're resizing your ubuntu partition [06:45] Hey Guys, I'm kind of in some hot water. One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted:/:waitiing for /dev/disk/by-uuid/0641f685-848b-40db-9f5d-8d900e6d9bd2 /tmp:waiting for (null) :waiting for 0 press escape to enter a recovery shell [06:46] tensorpudding: okay...a very thank you for your help [06:46] icarus-c, there is no /etc/iptables on my system, lucid [06:46] tensorpudding: will catch u later [06:46] isaias: easier if you download the deb file [06:46] MrKeuner, i mean /etc/iptables.rules [06:46] MrKeuner, does command "locate iptables.rules" show anything? [06:46] icarus-c, bash: cd: /etc/iptables.rules: No such file or directory [06:46] i believ you need to first uninstall openoffice from repositories [06:46] its not deb [06:47] icarus-c, no [06:47] you have to save it from its script, that iptables.rules [06:47] MrKeuner, do you have iptables installed [06:47] icarus-c - I've always heard it pronounced butterFS so I thought that's what it was. [06:47] xubunto dont come witn openoffice [06:47] iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules [06:47] antIP, meh it is short for B-Tree File system :P [06:47] well, nobody in +1 wants to help with my splash-screen issue. Anyone here have an idea? [06:48] icarus-c, I can run the command just fine [06:48] isaias: then download the deb [06:48] and if you run with ALT + F2 -> gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [06:48] icarus-c thanks. I'm formatting to ext4 now. [06:48] put after: iface lo inet loopback [06:49] pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules [06:49] post-down iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.downrules [06:49] can you teach me how? [06:49] then youre iptables script is always up and running [06:49] at boot time [06:49] icarus-c, 1.4.4-2 is installed [06:50] isaias: you download it from openoffice.org [06:51] but im telling you, i cant find deb only tar.gz [06:51] how do you change the mirror in ubuntu [06:52] evryone has left ? [06:52] isaias: then extract it and read the instructions to install it [06:52] ./configure && make && make install && make clean [06:52] I haven't left, lol [06:52] ok thanks ill do it [06:52] just checking! [06:53] Phr3ak_, wouldn't modifying network/interfaces break network manager? [06:53] misterme, System --> Admin --> Software Sources. [06:53] nope, it wont break it [06:53] MrKeuner, Yes. [06:53] Phr3ak_, It doesn't? [06:53] it only saves or restores youre iptables scripty [06:53] nope, it doenst [06:53] at least not over here ;-) [06:54] hi everybody! I have problems with my GUI on Ubuntu 9.04. I have tried with: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and dpkg-reconfigure gdm but doesn't work :-( what you could recommend me to try? (thaks in advance) [06:54] any one over here, who has expierence with cloud / landscape computing ? [06:54] Phr3ak_, Never heard. [06:55] i meant this stuff: http://www.canonical.com/enterprise-services/ubuntu-advantage/landscape [06:55] i've just bought the whole package from Canonical in the UK [06:56] Gör så här cvs -qd anoncvs@anoncvs1.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs get -rOPENBSD_4_7 -P src glöm inte Xen! [06:56] Phr3ak_, if I do not use iptables-save and just write the iptables command in iptables.rules, would that work? [06:56] sorry wrong chat lol [06:56] yes, if you write a running iptables script with -> iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules [06:57] No idea. [06:57] then you can restore it with youre network script: [06:57] Oh cool your working on IPTs [06:57] pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules [06:57] post-down iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.downrules [06:57] you can add the iptables save command, ad the end of youre script [06:57] You should give PSAD with FWsnort a try are working on a good firewall in Linux [06:57] if you want to ;-) [06:58] * Phr3ak_ write his own firewall(s) .. no GUI needed for :P [06:58] Phr3ak_, iptables-save has a bunch of lines there all of which I might not need, I just need one line there, I was asking if it would be OK not to use iptables-save and just simply write the single iptables command I need in there [06:58] lol, I don't have a xserver [06:58] whats the command you want to use ? [06:59] iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE [06:59] you can use ofcourse use a single command with iptables [06:59] iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/8 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE [06:59] is better [06:59] ;) [07:00] Phr3ak_, simply write in the file, or do I need lines like :PREROUTING ACCEPT [3880:505915] etc [07:00] but, if you want a single iptables rule [07:00] flush all the other rules first [07:00] $IPTABLES -F [07:00] $IPTABLES -t nat -F [07:00] $IPTABLES -t mangle -F [07:00] Phr3ak_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:00] $IPTABLES -X [07:00] $IPTABLES -t nat -X [07:00] $IPTABLES -t mangle -X [07:01] which im client for ubuntu has most of features as yahoo messenger [07:01] maybe gyachi [07:01] I'm using Cario-dock and the refresh rate will not go above 40. It simply will not allow it. What is the general location of configuration files in Linux? [07:02] Phr3ak: do you know how to find ip through MAC address which not in the LAN environment? [07:02] Phr3ak I sent you a nice bash script [07:02] for IPTs [07:02] BitchX [07:02] J/K this X-Client is really easy [07:02] i want to chat in yahoo rooms [07:02] onryo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:02] That is a layer 2 thing but I guess you could use Nessus or SAINT [07:03] hi! I'm after an ftp-client with a button that says something like "upload files that have been modified since last update" [07:03] or similar [07:03] hello [07:04] this is my iptables script i use: -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/504916/ [07:04] I need some advice. I tried to dual boot ubuntu on my laptop with win7 and they didnt play very well together. [07:04] it also blocks ICMP traffic, but you can dissable it if you dont want it [07:04] I am considering dualbooting with the new release [07:04] VMplayer [07:04] should I? [07:04] do you know how to find ip through MAC address which not in the LAN environment? [07:05] Not that I know of. I know that you can you Airmon-ng for wifi [07:05] and get the BSSID or SSID [07:05] iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:0F:EA:91:04:08 -j DROP [07:06] but maybe its better to setup a change, with trusted mac's [07:06] and deny all the others [07:06] macchanger -r would end that [07:06] iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 22 -m mac --mac-source [07:06] 00:0F:EA:91:04:07 -j ACCEPT [07:06] linzhavon, probably you can't. that's why we need TCP/IP for internet after all [07:07] all traffic with tcp/ip can be filtered [07:07] icarus-c: got it. [07:07] yeah layer 3 and 4 your asking for a layer 2 thing [07:07] thats why *nix was designed for the internet, and windows doesnt [07:07] ;-) [07:07] hi folks [07:07] hi [07:07] Phr3ak_, Windows got no internet support till late 90s if i remember correctly.. [07:07] icarus-c: thank u. [07:07] Haha that was easy enough. [07:07] Its hard as hell to ARP poison *nix networks [07:08] the tcp/ip stack in windows is still stolen from bsd [07:08] I am having a bit of trouble with the ubuntu 10.04.1 installer not seeing /dev/sda (an NTFS drive currently). it only sees my /dev/sdb , which is a gentoo drive. Can anyone tell me how to make the installer see my /dev/sda ? [07:08] Mac did that same Phr3ak [07:08] oh, if I run fdisk -l in command prompt it sees the drive that way. [07:09] yeah you can hongry [07:09] icarus-c: maybe you mean USB support? [07:09] mac is running bsd under the gui [07:09] well, actually a crippled bsd flavour [07:09] lsusb [07:09] which got retroactively implemented into win95 somewhere around 97 or 98. It's weird. I've seen copies of win95 with "NOW WITH USB SUPPORT" on the cover [07:10] thats correct [07:10] the first versions had no or a crappy usb support [07:10] no internet support is kind of silly, y'know [07:10] since I could get on the internet just fine on 3.11 [07:10] later on, they adjust that into a correct implementation [07:10] but oke .. what iam talking about [07:10] NT got no love, though. Anyway, go on. [07:10] Hi, I'm having difficulty setting up MIDI on my installation (10.04 "Lucid Lynx" desktop). [07:11] * Phr3ak_ has a windowd expierence index of a lousy 2,5 days :D [07:11] am I not in the #ubuntu ? [07:11] a few hours with win95 [07:11] I've been using windows since I was three. Now I'm starting to get it out of my system [07:11] I need some advice. I tried to dual boot ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop with win7 and they didnt play very well together. I am considering dualbooting with the new release. should I? [07:11] and 2 days with windows 7 [07:11] [Ubuntu 10.04.1 after resume-from-ram] '~$ mount; /dev/sdc1 on /media/WD1.5_1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks).' but there is no drivemount-applet to be seen. Is this a bug? [07:11] sakekasi: Um, I believe it should work fine. [07:11] * Phr3ak_ was using linux a long time before the moste people even heard of it :) [07:12] goes back in to the early 90's [07:12] GRUB should not be much of an issue. I haven't tried installing it in a while. [07:12] Blackbird thanks for the reassurance [07:12] !ot > Phr3ak_ [07:12] Phr3ak_, please see my private message [07:12] Phr3ak_ are You the architect ?:) [07:12] sakekasi: at any rate, so long as you install windows first and /then/ ubuntu, theoretically GRUB should not prove problematic [07:12] that's the main reported issue, I believe. [07:13] no, iam not THE architect .. that credit is still going to L. Torvalds ;) [07:13] thats what i did but grub messed up. Then my hd got a bunch of bad sectors [07:13] but ocasionly ive sent some bug fixes [07:13] mostly kernel and packet filtering related [07:13] Hmmm. And you did the whole recovery console master boot record clean and all that? [07:13] Phr3ak_, you were asked to stop offtopic chat [07:13] bad sectors might be the HD itself, have you clead those up yet, sakekasi? [07:14] *cleaned [07:14] How to fix MBR with Ubuntu live CD? [07:14] pksadiq: Windows MBR, yes? [07:14] What not just use VMware 7.2 with windows. Much better then messing with the hard drives. [07:15] anyone uses Ubuntu's hibernate function? [07:15] nope [07:15] onryo: I didn`t do that ;p [07:15] onryo: Some people just want it actually installed, or need faster performance. [07:15] or have computers with 256 megs of RAM which can't really spare enough for a VM [07:15] Ubuntu's hibernate function seems not to be highly effecient,do you agree? [07:15] Does anyone know how to make the ubuntu 10.04.1 installer see my /dev/sda ? right now its only seeing my /dev/sdb. any help would be greatly appreciated. [07:16] Blackbird, Installed Ubuntu once a Year ago, later I installed plop Boot manager to boot my computer from USB, but that messed up my Hard disk, and I had to use Windows XP repair to repair my Hard Disk :( [07:17] !ask | linzhavon [07:17] linzhavon: 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. :-) [07:17] this registration thing is annoing, I log in with my password but I still get pushed to #ubuntu-unregged [07:18] pksadiq: that isn't exactly the best repairer. I'd recommend a better one, but it's a bit of a difficult one. [07:18] hongry are you using a "desk-top" on your box ie Gnome? If you are you should see your USB like "plug and pray" [07:18] Blackbird , But still I have to idea how to repair from ubuntu Live CD [07:19] Blackbird , But still I have no idea how to repair from ubuntu Live CD [07:19] pksadiq: Ýou can't.

You would not have to reformat your whole machine then [09:06] how to do that mount thing [09:06] ysk, but its not good for general space like software. [09:06] mohan1111: no, the single user account you see is a "super user" account. But there is still a root account inherent in all distro's [09:07] mohan1111: ubuntu just hides the root account on purpose [09:07] ysk, you will have to research that a little, I cant help you. [09:07] terminhell: ok. [09:07] oll rite [09:07] terminhell: but why do i get this which i didn't before? [09:07] any ide's http://superuser.com/questions/195298/update-php-on-ubuntu-from-5-3-2-to-5-3-3 [09:07] can anyone tell me why my videos arent showing up as thumbnails only icons? [09:07] no worries thanks bro [09:07] ysk, welcome [09:07] mohan1111: you must have enabled the keyring thing...idk i never really use it [09:07] bye [09:08] Chaos2358: Change it on nautilus top right ? [09:08] I m feeling chaos``` [09:08] Chaos2358: on the top portion of nautilus.. change it to thumbnail view [09:09] How do i disable the keyring ? [09:09] mohan1111 nautilus? is that the default file system? [09:09] Chaos2358: nautilius is a file browser [09:09] mohan1111 no thats not what im talking about [09:10] Chaos2358: Sorry. [09:10] it is showing in the thumbnail form but only as icons not as preview like a still shot from the video like it should [09:12] Hi folks. Anyone here know the current state of the art regarding sound, esp. in Ubuntu? Is it still alsa, or would pulseaudio be the best/most future-proof way of recording audio? I ask because I want to investigate hacking xvidcap to move beyond the OSS sound capture it's currently using. [09:13] [Ubuntu 10.04.1 after resume-from-ram] '~$ mount; /dev/sdc1 on /media/WD1.5_1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks).' but there is no drivemount-applet to be seen. Is this a bug? [09:13] moetunes: command line option 'p' [from -purge] is not known i received such an error while trying to remove [09:13] 1215 users [09:14] mak69: my bad it is --purge [09:15] seb_: ya, alsa isnt going anywhere anytime soon [09:16] terminhell: So pulseaudio would be the API to look into? [09:17] terminhell: You see I need to make some tutorial videos for my company's products and I really don't want to be reduced to using that other OS to do it! [09:17] seb_: nono i mean, its a solid investment [09:17] seb_, what is the problem ? [09:17] terminhell: Ah, great. [09:18] i am not able to install mythtv completely instead i receive error saying could not retrieve remaining packages....now how can i proceed further [09:18] moetunes: thanks for your help [09:19] np:] [09:20] airtonix: xvidcap uses OSS for audio capture. OSS compatibility is becoming less common - my laptop doesn't seem to have it with a 2.6.35 kernel and in any case, on my PC, which _does_ have OSS compatibility installed xvidcap doesn't work for audio (though I think I could work around that by installing the Ubuntu 9.10 xvdcap .deb) [09:21] seb_, pulseaudio has a legacy wrapper to deal with this kind of thing [09:22] seb_, just like alsa had aoss to wrap oss progs in alsa, pulseaudio has padsp [09:22] airtonix: Does that allow you to use a pulseaudio-compatible program to record an OSS (/dev/dsp) source? [09:22] "/usr/bin/padsp - redirect OSS audio devices to PulseAudio" [09:22] need help! why do i receive such error when i try things at terminal end....failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/...... [09:23] airtonix: Ok, that's useful to know. But I want to write OSS out of xvidcap ideally. [09:23] seb_, using "padsp xvidcap blah blah" makes xvidcap think you are using oss [09:23] (well thats the idea anyway) [09:23] airtonix: Ah, I'll try that. [09:24] airtonix: That could really help. [09:25] Another question: The "Sound Preferences" dialog - is that a front-end to pulseaudio? Is it written using a pulseaudio api? [09:25] hello, if i add some init.d with 'update-rc.d defaults', where does the file-name get added and how to reverse the operation? [09:25] seb_, not sure, but i assume it interfaces with DBUS instead [09:26] seb_, you might like to install the other pulseaudio tools like padevchooser === ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [09:26] ah found it, nvm [09:26] need help! why do i receive such error when i try things at terminal end....failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/...... [09:26] airtonix: Thanks. I'll try that stuff. Got to go afk for a bit now, my son wants to play on the computer :) [09:26] Hello, I'd like to package a few LAMP web applications ? Where do I begin with this ? I currently downloaded phpmyadmin's source hoping that it will help a bit.. [09:27] Anyone awake in here? lol [09:27] pk4r: what are you trying to do? [09:27] terminhell, package a few PHP web applications. [09:28] I have a rather odd question regarding patents and Ubuntu; would someone here have an idea in regards to? [09:28] I'm following the official Ubuntu Packaging Guide but I assume there're more things to know when it comes to web apps. [09:28] pk4r, what makes you think that ? [09:28] sudo apt-get update mythtv is this command valid? [09:28] pk4r: try dpkg? === justmE is now known as Guest31687 === Guest31687 is now known as DrDeeps [09:29] sudo apt-get update mythtv, is this command valid? [09:29] airtonix, probably post-install configuration and dealing with different web servers could be the additional issue.. [09:30] mak69: yes [09:30] pk4r, simply make it require one webserver ? [09:30] pk4r, majority is going to have apache2 running [09:31] terminhell: but i receive 'the update command takes no argument' error [09:31] terminhell: need help [09:31] Anyway is #ubuntu-devel a good place to ask for the packaging related questions ?

[09:40] mak69 did you do a sudo apt-get update before the attempted install? [09:41] mert_d: i dont think its one file. its a database generated from the various .desktop files. the ubuntu-tweak program has a consoladated front end to set a lot of those from one location.

[09:50] LOL! [09:50] i meant /tmp/ lol./.. [09:50] littlec: Can only find ndesk-dbus, not the devel package [09:50] beyecixramd, those files are so important [09:50] you can't delete them [09:50] Dr_Willis: there is no vlc.desktop file on that directory. i just have VLC MEDİA PLAYER which opens vlc media player applcaiton. [09:50] sunny1, en, so what do you want to do? [09:50] beyecixramd: is the /tmp/ dir still there? but empty [09:50] Dr_Willis: yep [09:51] mert_d: odd.. try 'locate vlc.desktop' and see where yours is. [09:51] littlec: Been trying to install SparkleShare, which has the ndesk-dbus-devel dependency [09:51] ok [09:51] beyecixramd what is the exact error, i mean where is the bootup process halting? [09:51] sunny1, i know [09:51] littlec: i would like to know why are important files located in a *temporary* folder [09:51] Dr_Willis: hmm you say me that to find where is the "vlc.desktop" file. please wait... [09:51] beyecixramd, .........., you said you delete files in /etc [09:51] biston: GDM. I set it to auto login, it instead gives me an error and gets me back to a black background with the standard GNOME theme in GDM. [09:52] littlec: my bad, im not that stupid xD [09:52] beyecixramd, files in /etc is so important [09:52] littlec: i meant /tmp/ [09:52] mert_d: the locate command will find it for you [09:52] New Ubuntu user could use some help. Found an archieved article that steps through How to Copy and Open Links into xchat via Firefox. Followed instructions exactly, and still having problems launching xchat from the link. It keeps using Mibbit, which is driving me batty! Any help would be appreciated. [09:52] beyecixramd, ok, i am sorry [09:52] biston: by the way, i cant login in GDM with my password. It will just give me again the same error and go back to GDM [09:52] beyecixramd then your problem is not with 'ubuntu', it's with GDM. ubuntu is booting up fine [09:53] biston: well not at all because GDM logs in actually, but GNOME shows the error and logs off [09:53] and again, what is the exact error [09:53] Dr_Willis: i search on all my filesystem for "vlc.desktop". it found two fles: vlc media player and the other is vlc media player. /usr/share/applications /usr/share/app-install/desktop . both of them are desktop configuration file. what should i do next ? [09:53] biston: okay, please hold on i will reboot and tell you [09:54] how can i reverse what "update-rc.d networking defaults" did? (the dhcp client is taking increasing boot time by well over 30 seconds when no cable is in ethernet adapter) [09:54] grr, misspelled again [09:54] anyone knows how to do that anyway? [09:54] mert_d: the .desktop files define the default mimetypes those programs are set for. you could edit the mimetypes enntry and add new filetypes if you wanted to do this system wide for all users. Personally i just right click on files and set them what to open with. :) [09:57] is there any good games in linux? [09:57] try Supertux [09:57] yes [09:57] littlec: search wikipedia, or #freegamer..

Additional, it will be very nice if i can see on the "open with" menu the possibilities of the applications which can open that filetype properly. That is my problem. sorry for my english :) [09:58] Calinou, thank you [09:59] Calinou, i will look it [09:59] no proble [09:59] * jomjome hugs ugliefrog [09:59] Some good games i play...

[10:00] There's a problem with the server configuration (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 stopped with status 256) [10:00] mert_d: that list is generated from the various .desktop files. if the .desktop file dosent give out the info. theres no way the system knows that some new file extensioon can work with vlc, or whatever. you will juat have to learn and add the ones you need. [10:01] Urden: it's ubuntu with no pass [10:01] ok thanks beyecixramd [10:01] AbhiJit, thank you [10:01] mert_d: if vlc should also be in the list for various video formats that its not.. then you could file a bug report. and it may get added to the list. [10:01] iflema: okay, i get you [10:01] i guess it refers to the X.org server, any ideas please? [10:02] Dr_Willis: ok. thank you!

[10:32] nikkita 3G is that you mean? [10:32] yes [10:32] I need to run backup scripts once a day. I have been using cron but it skips the backup if the computer is off at the specified time. Now I'm using anacron, but that skips the backup if I leave the computer running for more than 24 hours. Should I run anacron from cron? [10:33] nikkita elaborate [10:34] pksadiq on ubuntu its detects the modem but the application wont work [10:34] it wont install [10:34] nikkita from mobile phone? [10:35] its a 3g modem the one you put in the usb [10:36] nikkita what is the output of ls /dev/ttyUS* [10:36] nikkita: you mean to say theres some software ON the phone that tries to 'auto run' and install like it would on a windows machune?> [10:36] what phone? and yes dr_willis [10:37] airtonix: "padsp xvidcap" worked perfectly with a source-compiled (and necessarily very slightly hacked) version of xvidcap on 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 with a 2.6.35 kernel and no OSS compatibility layer. :) [10:37] nikkita: you are the one mentioning 3g thats the cell phone network.. so you are trying to isntall windows drivers/software on linux to get this 3g thing going? [10:38] http://threestore.three.co.uk/images/modems/3Store_ZTE_MF122_210x225_Large.jpg [10:38] this DR_willis thats what im trying to get to work [10:40] that image dosent really tell a lot. :) heh. [10:40] im not installing a cell phone network [10:40] I imagine you dont use the windows softeare from the device. it will need its own linux drivers/tools to configure it [10:41] :S oh it hasnt got any [10:41] nikitta do lsusb in terminal if you see your device its almost working [10:41] Its a '3g' modem that uses the Cell Phone 3G network. [10:44] what will let me find windows upnp? [10:44] hanasaki, what is upnp? [10:44] some thing that lets windows find media servers [10:45] I was thinking some of the video players have upnp plugins. [10:45] hmmm, seems that i don't know [10:45] but ive never used that feature. I just seem to recall seeing it in the package manager the other day [10:45] !upnp [10:45] To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server. See !info mediatomb for information regarding the MediaTomb package [10:45] hmm funny my ubuntu box comes up as a sip switch avahi-discover [10:46] how do i do lsusb [10:47] nikkita: open terminal and write "lsusb" === bofh is now known as Guest1751 [10:47] hi [10:47] !hi | neko_ [10:48] nikkita: to open terminal goto Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal [10:48] i have no success trying to install the 10.10 on a lenovo netbook s10-3 from an usb key, it let me select language but freeze after that [10:48] nihao [10:49] !cn | gyk [10:49] gyk: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [10:49] if anyone have an idea [10:49] neko_, #ubuntu+1 for that [10:49] thanks [10:51] How do you mark packages by task in synaptic in maverick? Can't find it in the menu anymore [10:51] allu2 what do when i type lsusb [10:51] Flynsarmy, maverick in #ubuntu+1 [10:53] hey [10:53] this is really an ubuntu related question but I hope someone can help [10:53] I have two pcs. one of them boots, the other one doesn't. the busted one is pc A, the working one is pc B. if I take the psu from pc b and connect it to mobo a, pc a boots, if I take psu a and connect it to pc b it boots, but psu a + mobo a won't boot. the cpu, gpu and psu coolers will start for a second then stop and that's about it. I've tried clearing cmos and removing the battery, but that [10:53] hasn't helped either. Any idea how to fix it? [10:53] Greyhound-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:54] *isn't [10:54] Greyhound-, ##hardware please === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:54] I've tried #hardware but there are way more people in here so I was thinking I have much better changes of getting a good idea here [10:55] Greyhound-, its not in any way related to ubuntu support though. [10:55] nikitta Do you see something like 3G modem or Huwai Modem after lsusb? [10:55] Greyhound-: perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic :) shounds like bad wireing or somthing.. find a 3rd psu :) [10:55] What would be the best app to use to clone my hard drive to make a backup to another hard drive - running gnome 10.4 ? ? [10:56] mxe5, clonezilla remastersys [10:56] I'll give offtopic a chance :) [10:56] mxe5: You want an Image file as a 'backup' or are you cloning install #1 to work on pc #2? [10:57] bazhang: Look in Ubuntu Software Center ? [10:57] !backup [10:57] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [10:57] mxe5, clone? [10:57] can anybody help me with something? [10:58] random-jellyfish: can you be more vague? :) [10:58] !ask | random-jellyfish [10:58] random-jellyfish: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:58] when I try to activate my wifi card with ifconfig ra0 up i get this error : SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted [10:58] Dr_Willis: Used to using Acronis for windows - would like to make a mirrored cloned image to another sata hard drive that's a little bigger - both western digital. [10:59] anybody know what the cause of that might be/ [10:59] mxe5: you can make a 'image' file via dd or other ways.. fsarchiver can 'clone' a hard drive to a 2nd drive [11:00] Hi. I can't install wifi drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 on Usb drive. It says error "lzma: Encoder error -2214324259" [11:00] random-jellyfish: you are using 'sudo' as needed to configure the thing? [11:00] Ok so i want to dual boot vista/ubuntu, i backed up all my junk etc. and now i have a live cd, ive been told all i need to do is boot from it and in the installer decide on how big i want the ubuntu partition to be. Is this all i need to do or was i led astray? [11:00] Dr_Willis : yes i use sudo [11:00] I'm rewrite usb drive with fresh ubuntu now [11:00] 10.10 is AWESOME [11:01] Dr_Willis: What did you mean by " you can make a 'image' file via dd " ? [11:01] Hey. Any of you making music with Ubuntu? I am looking for a new Sound Card (my old one was an EMU-1616m) and I wonder if any of you have something of equal quality which works out of the box with Ubuntu? [11:01] CameronH: thats the basics of it.. You could resize your windows install befor booting the cd. ive found windows faster at resizing the windows disks.. You may want to scandisk/de4frag the windows disks also befor booting the cd. [11:01] and I have free space on the usb drive [11:01] mxe5: dd if=/dev/sda of=sdaimagefile [11:01] brb gotta go eat, if you have a sollution to my problem please leave an answer, thanks [11:01] What is my problem? [11:01] mxe5: thats an exact 'image' of the hard drive. [11:01] Dr_Willis: Ah ok got it. [11:02] mxe5: you could also use 'fsarchiver' to clone the hd1 to hd2.. and still access hd2 normally. because it is a hard drive. not a 'image' file. [11:02] HI [11:02] the term 'clone image' is a little... odd. :) a dd 'image' is an identical copy.. [11:02] any suggestions for a good web design program for ubuntu? [11:03] @megacool.. Bluefish [11:03] I need PHP and MySQL and APACHE, but looking to make web pages [11:03] I have 2 accounts on my PC, now I am in account A while I want a file from the desktop of account B, how do I do that ? [11:03] kk, thanks [11:03] megacool: gedit should be fine :) [11:03] Bluefish is just a html css ect ect editor [11:03] good one though [11:03] cool [11:03] ok [11:03] hate bluefish [11:04] can anyone help me ? [11:04] any other ideas? [11:04] megacool: gedit [11:04] Dr_Willis: Second option sounds the easiest to me - but in the future would like to bone up on the shell way of doing it as well for the learning experience. [11:04] dr0id: dependign on how user2 has the permissions on their files/dirs setup. the file may be acccessable via. /home/user2/Desktop/whatever [11:04] ok cool thanks guys [11:04] I'm out [11:04] lol [11:04] !info fsarchiver [11:04] Dr_Willis ive tried to shrink the vista partition but i cant in windows even tho i have ~50gb free space. I assume cause the drive is really fragmented, i was therefore told itd be easier to do it with the live cd. Do you have any suggestions? [11:04] fsarchiver (source: fsarchiver): file system archiver. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.8-1ubuntu0.1 (lucid), package size 94 kB, installed size 280 kB [11:04] CameronH: always best to defrag befor trying the install in any case. [11:05] CameronH: so let windows defrag for the next.. 4 days :) [11:05] thanks Dr_Willis [11:05] I hate defragging windows.. [11:05] Dr_Willis: So the "clonezilla" would not be the way to go ? Is the "fsarchiver" a GUI app? [11:05] Dr_Willis ok i shall do that, should be alot of fun. Thanks [11:05] Dr_Willis: I want to understand the whole ubuntu filesystem, whats the best way/tut ? [11:05] mxe5: its a cli tool last i checked.. its desiogned to copy the file system/structure from FS1 to FS2.. ive never used clonezilla [11:06] where's the .pid file by default in ubuntu ? [11:06] also is it similar to those of fedora, redhat, opensuse, freebsd and all ? [11:06] dr0id: theres some linuix fulesystem hiearchy web site/guides out - to start with [11:06] link ? [11:06] dr0id: 'Linux is linux' for the most part.. learn the basics and its the same.. Linux is NOT bsd however... [11:06] !linux [11:06] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system.

[11:07] thanks bazhang, #ubuntu is awesome :) [11:07] what do you use to GUI manage scp files [11:08] kaddi: ive had to use 'winrar.exe' befor and wine. to extract some odd archives.. in the past. :) its a nasty way - but it worked. [11:08] will try that :) [11:09] Dr_Willis: Just installed but under "more info" it talks about the destination files being compressed - so would not be able to access sounds like - Have you personally used this method for backup ? If so good results ? [11:09] mxe5: installed what? [11:10] hi all, i just installed recent UNR on my machine. I am trying to increase the size of the panel. is there a good way to do this? since right clicking on the panel is locked, there must be another way to do this. [11:10] anyone uses secpanel? [11:10] Dr_Willis: The fsarchiver app [11:10] on ubuntu ssytem, emacs23 doesnot response slime complately; cmucl and sbcl is old version on package system. I tried recomple tham. and upgrade version (./configre and make install). But slime-mode still cant tab the REPL system.. Does anyone have any suggestion [11:10] mxe5: it has dozens of options last i tried it.. check its homepage/faq/docs. [11:11] Dr_Willis: Sorry tired and a little muddled right now.

[11:12] kaddi: theres other arvhiver tools out.. but no idwa what ones use "need PK compat. v6.3 (can do v4.6)" [11:13] Every so often someone comes in with some odd 'rar' arvhive that the rar tools in the repos wont open. [11:13] my wireless disconnects consistently when i lock my screen for about 10 minutes [11:13] winrar doesn't know that zip format either.. maybe the file is just broken >.> [11:13] kaddi: thats possible.

[11:20] 9.10 is end-of-life [11:21] bihari_: flash development, especially for ubuntu is incredibly slow, only on a rolling release system would you expect the latest flash within days of the mac/windows counterpart release [11:21] Could not download all repository indexes [11:21] The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored.

It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [11:25] !lp freenx [11:25] is there some reason why ipv6.torrent.ubuntu.com responds with "requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker" when I try to download the newest release candidate?

[11:43] eugenekorpan: a connection may come back, that just restarts the network daemon and should poll/call for all available connections, if not maybe try restaring nm-applet, just in a process manager/or using top/htop [11:43] applications then accesories then terminal then i typed lsusb in terminal [11:43] and my modem comes up there [11:44] nikkita: lsusb just shows all 'seen' devices that are plugged in.. its taken you like 2+ hrs to just run 'lsusb' from a terminal?

[11:46] nikkita: save that lsusb output to some file, where you can access it from windows . determine the chipset the device is using, and check the forums for the exact device is all i can suggest. ive never used a 3g modem under linux, or windows. [11:46] Raz0rsEdge: no, maybe I should disable USB on this ASUS-A7N8X-E? [11:48] is there an apt-get command to fetch fresh config files (and overwrite) for an installed package? [11:48] Hey, guys. MySql is saying that Ubuntu's build of MySql is busted. That's why it comes such that the second command it lists in its internal tooltips doesn't work.

I have a problem with my Dell m5010. AMD processor.. When i try to install from CD i get.. Ureadhead - other main process terminated with status 4. [11:49] Raz0rsEdge: lspci|grep USB comes up with 3 USB Controller [11:49] aeon-ltd: anyway, thanks for trying to help [11:49] silasdavis: sudo dpkg-reconfigure appname will return it to default settings [11:50] Atrivius: ive seen that message befor on several machines.. and the system works.. It may be somthing ELSE thats causing the issue.. you are just seeing that message as the last thing it logs. [11:50] But it freezes. [11:50] cant continue :) [11:50] How to call the Gtk+ program hardinfo in the GNOME menu? [11:50] Atrivius: what i am saying is the freeze mauy not be related to the 'ureadahead' message. [11:51] Ahh.. It's a 64 bit system, but i am installing 32 bit, can it be this? [11:51] daniela78: I dunno how to remove this annoying messages - try to remove usb kernel module or sumthin [11:51] bullgard4_: you mean how to add it to the menus? use the alacarte program if you want to edit your menus [11:51] hey. how do i format a flash drive to FAT32? [11:51] moetunes: thanks that what I was after [11:51] bansali: 'sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx1' [11:51] np :] [11:52] bansali: easy way - use gparted, or use 'sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXX' and DONT make a mistake with the /dev/sdXX part [11:52] Dr_Willis: I do not want to edit my menus. I'd like to call this program using the GNOME menus. [11:52] Atrivius for amd64 systems 64 bit is OS is a Plus, but 32 bit too works well [11:52] bullgard4_: i dont know what you mean by the term 'call' in that context... [11:52] all guys are stupid [11:52] bansali: this creates a fat32 filesystem on the first partition on device sdx. (see 'sudo fdisk -l') [11:52] Its a strange issue to troubleshoot then, since i dont get any error msg that i can search a solution for. It just freezes [11:52] nikkita What happened? :) [11:53] Argh my logfiles are getting bigger and bigger every second :/ [11:53] how can I compile a library as static instead of dynamic/shared? [11:53] pksadiq it shows up in lsusb [11:53] Dr_Willis: 'to call a program' is a well-established technical term in data processing. I am hurrying to give you an internationally agreed definition... [11:53] it's cmake based... [11:53] Dr_Willis: ppq: sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1 should i specify size? [11:53] bansali: i dont think it matters. [11:53] checked device in /etc/mtab [11:54] nikkita ok, now in terminal type ls /dev/ttyU* [11:54] bansali: no, if you want to change the size of the partition, you have to re-partition your flash drive [11:54] bullgard4_: to me the phrase' call this program using the menus' means 'launch the program via the gnome menus' [11:54] bansali: but mkfs doesn' [11:54] nikitta do you see anything? [11:54] t care about sizes. sorry [11:54] ppq: no i dont want to change or repartition. my goal is to create a bootable image of backtrack linux === shaman is now known as Guest80309 [11:54] do i deleted all the data and i need to format it [11:55] Raz0rsEdge: attached usb devices are recognized correctly, I tested my mp3 player: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0471:204e Philips [11:55] so i deleted* [11:55] bansali: oh, okay. why don't you use unetbootin for this? it does everything automagically, you just have to specify the flash drive [11:55] pksadiq what do i do after that because i need to keep shutting to windows then going back on to ubuntu [11:55] Dr_Willis: "to call -- The instruction to transfer control from one 'module' to another, usually with the implication that control will be given back to the 'calling' module. -- NOTE - A call usually specifies 'parameters' to be passed to and from the called module." [11:55] ppq: ok ill use that thanks. Dr_Willis: thanks === oracle_ is now known as Guest83904 [11:56] i <3 freenx [11:56] nikkita , do you have a phone with gprs?

(sda6 became sda5 basically) === Shaman_ is now known as Guest37366 [11:57] nikitta, ok then note down what all you need to do [11:57] Dr_Willis: I agree: In the present context "the phrase' call this program using the menus' means 'launch the program via the gnome menus' " are equivalent. === Guest37366 is now known as _Shaman [11:58] bullgard4_: if theres not an icon in the menus to launch the program.. then add an icon/menu item to launch it.. and the proram used to edit the menus and add such an item is 'alacarte' [11:59] nikitta first You open terminal and type ls /dev/ttyU* , if you didn't see any output then type ls /dev/ttyA* , I hope You will find some result, then insert your ubuntu CD and search for wvdial and install it by double clicking it , then come back === john is now known as bufo333 [11:59] daniela78: You can modify the config file(s) that affect the system logger. Take a peek in /etc/rsyslog.conf and the files within /etc/rsyslog.d/ and you *should* be able to alter what gets logged where, etc. [11:59] Dr_Willis: I could also re-word my question thus: Is there an icon, or is there no icon for that? [11:59] could anyone tell me what package ntfsck is in under ubuntu? [11:59] Is there a special repository for chrome (the browser) updates in Lucid? [12:00] I just checked synatic, and it says the repository was disabled when upgrading to Lucid [12:00] synaptic* [12:00] I'm gathering information about transmission: is transmission work with http protocol?

At least for now, until you figure out what's going on, you can silence those entries. Good luck. [12:02] bullgard4_: i recoginzed it by the icon. and looked in the hardinfo.desktop file and saw it was supposed to be in the 'system' menu [12:02] so I'm not sure whether I can re-enable it, or need another (Lucid-specific) one, would anybody know? [12:02] Dazzled check the Software Sources in Administration menu [12:02] pksadiq: the url does not specify a certain build flavour [12:02] rob_p, All ports are working fine... don't know why this message comes up... [12:02] silasdavis: you can use 'apt-file search' or http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to search for package and -contents. There is no ntfsck, but there is ntfsfix and others in package ntfsprogs [12:03] bullgard4_: i notice that the new Ubuntu Software center also now tells where in the menus the icons can be found.. :) thats a nice new feature. [12:03] Dazzled are you taking about upgradig from 9.10 or something like that to ubuntu 10.04? [12:03] Can anyone tell me how much of a resource hogs symbolic links are? [12:04] sunny1: shouldent affect things at all. [12:04] pksadiq: no, just trying to update Google Chrome (beta) [12:05] Dr_Willis: Even with one master to hundreds of clone files? [12:05] can anyone shed some light on how to share files between guest Ubuntu in VMWare on windows? [12:05] daniela78: Not sure but if the ports are working, perhaps there's a bug with how the kernel module interacts with your particular hardware. Anyway, don't forget to do, "sudo reload rsyslog" after you modify the config. [12:05] sunny1: shouldent matter. [12:05] Dr_Willis: Cool, thanks [12:05] Dazzled Go to Applications > Ubuntu Software Center, I hope You can search and find the best [12:05] everytime I boot up I get a pop up asking for keyring password, how do I stop that?

[12:19] Do you guys think keeping a backup copy of every file opened in gedit and syncing it to git is overkill? [12:20] sunny1: for what kind of development?

Does debian run a firewall or is there some other security measure in place? [12:23] gfather: Ubuntu Desktop and Netbook are practically the same, they just have different interfaces.

Hate for the files to take forever to load due to 100 sym links.

[13:00] Fun fact: mysql package asks for a password for the mysql root user during installation [13:00] ReadPlease: I've just read the back scroll in #mysql and they didn't suggest a binary install, nor did they say ubuntus package was not complient [13:00] chibihogoshino: lsof lists all open files, so it'll produce a quite prodigious output, you might want to pipe it through grep === MuNk is now known as MuNk` [13:00] tensorpudding: yeah i saw that .. heh [13:01] ikonia, you're misreading. [13:01] Hi. Is there an alternative to adobe flash plugin? It doesn't behave well with 2 screens. (Always fullscreens on the leftmost screen) [13:01] tensorpudding: its a bit nuts [13:01] The manual suggests a binary install. [13:01] !gnash [13:01] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [13:01] lsof follows in the proud tradition of verbosity that unix logging tools seem to enjoy [13:01] ReadPlease: no, you're missunderstanding [13:01] erUSUL: Thanks [13:01] tensorpudding: i want to figure out what is hitting my hd every few seconds so i can make it sleep longer when on battery [13:01] check out 'how to get mysql' [13:01] then look at the man page 'how to install mysql' [13:01] ReadPlease: what ? [13:02] ReadPlease: what are you talking about [13:02] chibihogoshino: you could grep for files on the volume [13:02] how to get does not list package managers... there is a warning in 'how to install' that says not to use package managers. So, you're misreading or simply haven't read it. [13:02] ReadPlease: please show me where that warning is [13:02] chibihogoshino: using watch to refresh it every few seconds, for instance [13:03] 2.2 [13:03] ReadPlease: please showme where that warning is - link to it [13:03] hi! I left my computer running when I was away for 2-3 hours, only a terminal and pidgin ran over openbox. After I came back, the terminal's and pidgin's screen-rendering response was very low. when I moved the window, it happened very slowly. however, the mouse cursor rendering was ok. I logged out and in, and everything was OK. what can be the cause? [13:03] alex88: I set my keyring password to be emptym and select 'ok' at the 'use unsafe storage' option.. i so it unlocks automatically on login [13:03] alex88: ive never needed any pam fix. [13:03] naxa: hdd went to slepp, loaded into ram then tried to unload? maybe [13:03] mhh..that's another way to do that..thanks [13:04] naxa: sounds like the computer went into sleep mode [13:04] aeon-ltd, maybe... how can I check the settings? or is there a log of this? [13:04] alex88: seems a lot safer way :) [13:04] naxa: no its just standard hibernate [13:04] safer but not secure :) [13:04] alex88: if you want secure then you dont want it auto-unlocking in the first place. [13:05] tensorpudding, aeon-ltd : i'm not sure that my comp could actually wake from sleep mode or hibernate as this never worked previously... and it answered me in 2 secs after i moved the mouse. it seemed to be on to me, only blank screen saver... [13:05] Hello how do I install a sertan version of a program ? (con sol) [13:05] hi wheres the nvidia gl griver config ? [13:05] well, auto unlock on login is secure because i've same pass for login and keyring.. but another user will able to read it if i don't set pass..right? [13:05] I can't be bothered by that. Obviously, the manual sucks or you would be able to find 2.2. Good luck.

[13:06] alex88: Theres somthing about how the 'insecure storage' works.. but if the other users cant get to the file in your /home/ then it dosent matter i guess.. but i have 2 users :) me and the wife.

[13:07] ReadPlease: and that you can't reset your root password [13:07] alex88: of course the only thing in that keyring that i notice.. is the wireless password. for my home lan. :) [13:08] alex88: and thats written on teh side of my router with a post-it-note anyway [13:08] ReadPlease: please show me on that page where it says "do a binary install because the packages from your distro are not complient" [13:08] i also have some keys for mail and ssh..btw..np..it's the fastest solution [13:08] mysql wouldn't take the command to take on a new password for root. So, I went to #mysql. I linked you that. It was the first link. [13:08] ReadPlease: please show me where in that page it says "the package manged vesions are broke, use a binary version" [13:09] ikonia, i did now 3 times. [13:09] Stop trolling me. [13:09] ReadPlease: it doesn't say it anywhere on that page [13:09] ReadPlease: please show me [13:09] Yes, it says "warning" in big letters next to a red sign. [13:10] ReadPlease: yes it does, but it doesn't say anything about "please use a binary version as the package maanged versions are broke" [13:10] ReadPlease: it just warns you that IF you WANT to use a binary install you should remove the package managed vesions to not create a conflict [13:10] The description of the broken packages came from #mysql. The package came from ubunto. The warning says not to use the package manager and the binary method. [13:11] naxa: acpi is getting better in development, it may have only started functioning properly recently [13:11] ReadPlease: no it didn't, I read the scroll back, they advised you there wasn't a generic way, because different distros use different layouts, they didn't say it was non-complient, or that you should use a binary install [13:11] the rest of the docs list 3 possible default install locations for mysql, none of which are ubuntus... [13:12] readplease restart your computer [13:12] ReadPlease: because your reading a doc for a binary install [13:12] brb [13:14] I'm trying to get a package I made to add one menu directory and several items to that folder. The menu directory does not show up and the items are placed in category "Other". See: http://www.pastebin.org/19891, what am I doing wrong? [13:14] Yeah, I don't want to do a binary install, really... [13:14] ReadPlease: I know this, no-one told you to do this [13:14] To do what? [13:14] Also see http://i53.tinypic.com/2rfcxs7.png [13:14] aren't there guides written for setting up MySQL on Ubuntu? [13:14] A binary install? You're right. Nobody told me to. [13:14] But the other method doesn't work. [13:14] a binary install [13:15] you don't have to follow the "official" one [13:15] ReadPlease: right, so all the nonsense about people telling you ubuntu was broke and you should do a binary install, where did that come from ? [13:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP tensorpudding [13:15] bazhang: was asking on ReadPlease's behalf [13:15] I should do a binary install is my opinion. [13:16] sluimers: Mint isn't supported here [13:16] oh right [13:16] drat [13:16] ReadPlease: right, so now we are getting to the truth/bottom line [13:16] If ubuntu's packages don't work according to mysql [13:16] ReadPlease: they do work according to mysql [13:16] Good. That's what we're all interested in, I think. [13:16] Yes, but they don't work according to their walkthroughs. In fact, they break the permissions. [13:16] what walkthrough ? [13:17] which one are you trying to follow [13:17] 2.2 and 2.6 [13:17] I think I installed MySQL from the Debian packages once, and I figured out how to do it without reading a walkthrough by the MySQL folk [13:17] First 2.6 second 2.2 [13:17] hi all. anybody know how i can get ubuntu to play the HD '.mov' files from a canon camera?

[13:20] ReadPlease: exactly what step doesn't work [13:20] ya xuekan i've tried everything... no luck... some worse than others. [13:20] ReadPlease: even if you followed that guide; no command there can mess up sudo. unless you run the command in the wrong directory [13:21] Ah. Maybe I've done that. [13:21] mananan: you mean they play. but the playback is not smooth? [13:21] done what ?

[13:25] dataviruset: it test if you/root can run /usr/sbin/anacron if it can't it runs ( cd / && run-parts --report [13:25] /etc/cron.daily ) [13:25] dataviruset: tests if /usr/sbin/anaacron is executable, changes to / and calls "run-part" to execute scripts from /etc/cron.daily [13:25] okay, but why? :p [13:25] vdpau ?

[13:26] thanks for your help guys :) [13:26] mananan: what card ? [13:26] Dr_Willis, not heard of any fixes at all have you? ^^ [13:26] nvidia [13:26] yes.. [13:27] but which.. [13:27] 512mb [13:27] what model [13:27] Thanks, erUSUL. Thanks, ikonia. [13:27] MuNk`: dident really look into it. last i read about it was a few months back. or perhaps a year ago [13:27] GeForce 9500 GT [13:27] ReadPlease: no problem [13:27] then you should be fine using vdpau [13:27] how? [13:28] MuNk`: you can run synergy from the command line and make it log at different levels - haven't done it in a while, but man synergy will help :-) [13:28] in synaptics, i believe there are something with vdpau there [13:28] GeForce 9500 GT [13:28] think ill have to, only got the issue since upgrades to ubuntu 10.04 from 9.# [13:28] Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (libraries) [13:29] there might be a package for it [13:29] i am watching "a soldier's story" [13:29] IT IS FUCKING INSANE [13:29] MuNk`: I run 10.04 with synergy on several computers with no issue, FYI [13:29] im just bloody unlucky then =] [13:30] MuNk`: I'm just making the point that it's not a problem with 10.04, per se [13:30] Now, I have to see if I can describe the problem I had well enough that I can make sure someone else doesn't have all the same trouble. Though I doubt anyone else is this dumb. XD [13:30] any idea which package? this is ongoing!! [13:31] sec. [13:31] n ever said it was just ive only had the issue since then, which makes me think somthing probably went wrong my side when I upgraded [13:31] mananan: not all cards support hat vapdu thing. and a player also has to be compiled with support for it..

[13:34] tensorpudding: http://mmonit.com/monit/ [13:35] yes monit, sorry [13:35] erUSUL: HLfail [13:35] i'm assuming that monit doesn't come with nginx [13:35] you probably have to install it as well, and configure it separately [13:35] biganon: no; nginx comes with its sysV init scripts... yu can use the normal commands to start stop and restart it etc ...

[13:41] Hi how can I install older version of GCC? 3? [13:41] JIMMYMAL: why? [13:41] tensorpudding: A package I need requires it. [13:41] JIMMYMAL: sudo apt-get install gcc-X.X, if the version isn't there, I'd try installing it from source. [13:42] I don't think 3 is there... only 4 [13:42] I installed from source to get my 3.4. [13:42] I need g++ 3.4.4 [13:42] How should i INSTALL THAT? [13:42] you'll probably need to find the source and install it by hand [13:43] and probably deal with a lot of library version mismatch errors [13:43] Cannot be done through apt-get? [13:43] i have small question about DNS - how can i clear DNS cache in Ubuntu 10.04? in older versions /etc/init.d/nscd restart helps - or change nscd configuration [13:43] 3.4.4 is a pretty old version, it's been a while since it was supported by the GCC team. [13:43] If you want to do it the improper and possibly nonfunctional way, you could try to find a .deb for an older version of ubuntu. [13:44] be safer to run an older version of ubuntu in virtualbox that came with 3.4.4 perhaps [13:44] Anyway, compiling gcc from source takes a bit of patience, but isn't *that* hard, unless you run into some obscure errors. [13:44] If you're wanting to install something that depends on a really old version of GCC, it's probably stuff that was not written portably and depended on deprecated features [13:44] tensorpudding: Or was written in fortran *coughcough* [13:45] tensorpudding: oomon :) [13:45] There's gfortran, that's still supported isn't it? [13:45] It often doesn't compile properly. [13:46] Many programs were written specifically for -lg2c, and they do not work in gfortran. [13:46] There's not a lot you can do for poorly coded programs designed for a specific compiler [13:47] Get that specific compiler :) [13:47] If that compiler were proprietary and no longer available on the market? [13:47] I would say that over half of the nuclear engineering programs written in fortran do not compile in gfortran, but do compile in g77-3.4 :) [13:47] Hello , i would like to set a facebook chat account on empathy , but i get all the time authentication failed message any idea ?

I have a very odd issue with the Ubuntu 10.10 RC that I cannot find mention of anywhere. It deals with fakeraid. The LiveCD thinks my system is configured with a FakeRAID or SoftRAID, but it is not. Has anyone ever heard of such t thing? [14:15] where is the file that contains all the installed pkgs? [14:15] I just want to remove the broken package manually from it [14:15] hi, what's is the font used in Ubuntu 10.04's title? [14:17] what is the ap used to 'orally' tell ubuntu to do all the thing - 'all' [14:17] speech [14:17] where is the xorg.conf file located [14:18] i cant find it with find o0 [14:18] !xorg | lucas_ [14:18] lucas_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[14:19] aeon-ltd: now i have to solve the desktop loading problem ;) [14:19] or, to put it another way, is anyone familiar with a way to force my SATA drives to have their partitions be available and not messed up by dmraid? (not sure if dmraid is messing them up...). /dev/sda is created, but no partitions. /dev/sdb is also missing. My drives are definately not configured in a raid array as I have everything turned off in the BIOS. [14:20] bobthemilkman: no your right, xorg.conf is deprecated for almost all systems that have ditched hal for the new udev [14:21] aeon-ltd, i read that i need to do the anti screen blacking in xorg.conf ?

[14:24] dr0id: if you have installed ubuntu+apache+php5 module for apache, it's down to the application [14:24] so, not having a keyboard sucks [14:24] :P [14:25] ikonia: can't find the issue :S [14:25] many isps block incoming tcp 80 [14:25] lucas_: its the same in ubuntu (xorg.conf) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DPMS [14:25] I have 2 users on my computer.

(running 10.04) [14:26] anyone aware of any docs/howtos dealing with fakeraid/softraid issues with ubuntu? The regular Ubunto Howto on this doesn't apply as I'm having the issue in reverse :P [14:26] aeon-ltd, i already told you that i dont have that file in that location [14:26] erroneous detection of a fakeraid array. [14:26] hello, anyone can help me with some ubuntu installation? [14:27] andorino: fake raid is not a good technology, it's better not to sue it if possible [14:27] hjhkjh: what is your issue? [14:28] c3l when i try to install ubuntu, it freezes, when i press ESC it appears the console and says: Process: 311 GLib - WARNING **: get pwuid_r ( ) failed due to unknown user id [14:29] ikonia: that's my problem. Ubuntu THINKS I have fakeraid, I don't. How to I make it realize that? Its not detecting my disks/partitions correctly so its not an issue of both being available. [14:29] andorino: in the bios make sure the disk is presented as jbod/ide/sata [14:29] ikonia: it is [14:29] andorino: are the disks blank ? [14:29] ikonia: no [14:30] lucas_: generate one [14:30] aeon-ltd, ho [14:30] w [14:30] andorino: so when you start the installer it sees one big disk rather than 2 seperate ones ? [14:31] ikonia: and only /dev/sda gets generated, no /dev/sdb. Yes, one big disk. /dev/mapper/pdc_* stuff [14:31] andorino: the only way I can think of that happening is if these disks where once part of a raid array and the private region data is still on the disks [14:31] greetings ladies and gents, just installed Ubuntu went to the software manager and it will startup and then close immediately with any indications as to why [14:31] I have a windows striped raid which contains my media. Can I access it through ubuntu? [14:31] hjhkjh: hm, thats not a very uncommon error. sometimes I see it at boot, but it doesn't cause any trouble. I would place my bet on that the installation medium is screwed up. [14:31] I guess my first question is, where can I find out WHY it is closing? [14:31] ikonia: think I need to zero out the drives? [14:32] aeon-ltd, how then? === bihari__ is now known as vipul [14:32] andorino: if you can lose the data, it's worth it [14:33] I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32 bit), and whenever I boot with regular gnome, the entire screen freezes, including adds on a webpage. When I boot failsafe gnome, i dont have this problem. How can i fix this? [14:33] ikonia: that is the case, that they were once RAID 1'd, but I did turn off the RAID stuff, reinitilize, and windows 7 was fine with it [14:33] lucas_: xorg --configure (you'll need to move the file to /etc/X11/ [14:33] lucas_: you may need sudo as well [14:33] <|Anthony|> is there a multiseat function native to ubuntu?

The readme made me delete r8169 mod before installing my new drivers. Now my original onboard realtek NIC has now been uninstalled :S [14:35] I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32 bit), and whenever I boot with regular gnome, the entire screen freezes, including adds on a webpage. When I boot failsafe gnome, i dont have this problem. How can i fix this? [14:35] prod-beginner: you deleted the module that your other card depended on ? [14:35] yes :S [14:35] didnt realise [14:36] hhlp, GtkWarning: gtk_container_add: assertion 'GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed gtk.main_iteration() [14:36] if that helps [14:36] now ive lost my ssh :S [14:36] i dont know why they say google it? [14:36] eheh [14:36] google like mooble! [14:36] heh [14:36] prod-beginner: you've not lost ssh, you've lost the whole network connection [14:36] prod-beginner do you have console access ? [14:36] so it appears linux will not read from y windows striped raid [14:36] right [14:37] will have to go back to windows until I can unstripe them [14:37] i can attach a monitor and stuff i suppose but will the new NIC drivers work on the original onboard NIC or will i have to alter the 2 drivers somehow? [14:38] prod-beginner: what kernel module does the new nic need [14:38] I got a new laptop, should I go for 10..04 or get the 10.10.? [14:38] marcosroriz: depends if you want long term support or not [14:38] marcosroriz does it have a touch screen ? [14:38] well i am dwindling in options other then to say that my install was corrupt last night [14:38] im sorry but as my name says im quite new to all this. does r8169 make any sense? [14:38] no [14:38] marcosroriz: then wait for 10.10 to be released [14:39] prod-beginner: where did you read you had to delete the r8169 kernel module ? [14:39] in the readme supplyed in the driver CD for the new NIC [14:39] prod-beginner who makes hte new NIC you purchased ? [14:39] I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32 bit), and whenever I boot with regular gnome, the entire screen freezes, including adds on a webpage. When I boot failsafe gnome, i dont have this problem. How can i fix this? [14:39] marcosroriz, 10.10 isn't so bad, but it is just hitting release candidate. you can install 10.04, or install 10.10... I've been really happy w/ 10.10 on 3 machines [14:39] maplin Value, but it has realtek controller [14:39] prod-beginner: the chances are then, you didn't need to do anything, they both probably use the same kernel module [14:40] is there gnome-2.32 packages anywhere yet? [14:40] prod-beginner: if you install the kernel module as the instructions say, you'll probabl find both cards will work [14:40] untitled: no [14:40] is there like anything super new on 10.10.? [14:40] marcosroriz: no [14:40] beautiful :) [14:40] :3 [14:40] then I will use 10.04 [14:40] tyvm guys [14:40] marcosroriz, not much new.. just program updates.. and the installer is a little different(thats all i've noticed) [14:41] marcosroriz touchscreen support out of the bnox [14:41] SikEnCide, if you don't have a touch screen, that is irrelevant(he said he didn't) [14:41] Ken8521 i know [14:41] lol and here i didnt think the windows reboot fix was needed in Linux :) [14:41] jfarrell, not nearly as often...

[16:47] phil_in_london yes [16:47] i'll try [16:47] mamece2, then you probably just need to pair it, have you installed any of the bluetooth tools that assist you with this?

[16:48] RippleEffect: try add account and see if skype is there [16:48] phil_in_london in the top of the desktop i clicked the bluetooth icon, then i select the mx1000 mouse, when i hit forwar it says it was not set [16:48] sacarlson, when I add the account and enter my nickname, the program closed. [16:49] just getting the error: "error: out of disk " "grub rescue>" [16:49] RippleEffect: I havn't use it in some time maybe it broke [16:49] phil_in_london i will try blueman, why the native app doesnt work? [16:49] and reinstalling grub2 doesn't help either [16:49] mamece2, it sounds like you're already using blueman. [16:50] mamece2, are you able to see the hwaddr of the mouse with the hcitool? [16:50] RippleEffect: skype has a good interface that comes with it so I never use pidgin. I only used the sms with ruby [16:50] phil_in_london ok now blueman ask me a PIN, but this is a mouse, it has no pin, 0000 nor 1234 [16:50] so I thought, maybe you guys know it [16:50] My track pad click broke how can i add a key alias? [16:50] worked to some extent but i go to youtube it asks to install missing plugins click on that "No suitable plugins were found" [16:51] mamece2, its generally 0000 for mouse/keyboards [16:51] phil_in_london authentication canceled :( [16:51] mamece2, if you are actually running blueman, it has an option for continuing without pairing. [16:52] phil_in_london i just saw it, i will try it [16:52] ok so anyone got a sec to help me with with an issue. I have tryed everything from bashing my head in to apt-geting every -dev i could. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NgacCd0E i keep getting this issue when I have qt3 and qt4 installed.

Yeah i get that with LXDE on my POS laptop [16:53] phil_in_london so this just created the files i must edit in order to get all the bottom working? [16:54] nothin from nobody? [16:54] mamece2, I'm not sure which files it will create, I'm still a little foggy on the bluetooth files that 2.6 uses now, but yeah, basically its time to go perform those edits that you saw on those webpages.

Is that were you changed it? [16:56] The upgrade instructions say you can use the upgrade manager to go from 10.4 to 10.10. I am currently running 9.10. Will this still work? Or do I have to go to 10.4 first? Or can I download the 10.10 alternate install iso and upgrade directly with that for both my Ubuntu and UbuntuStudio installations? [16:56] phil_in_london in keyboard preference ive erased the spain keyboard and added just latam. when i reboot, it appears spain again [16:57] mamece2, what about my question? [16:57] Snocrash: you'll be directed through 10.04 then 10.10 [16:57] I downloaded skype but when I try to sign in nothing happens. :( [16:57] i change it in the panel icon [16:57] Snocrash: you can only upgrade non LTS to the next release, or you can upgrade LTS to LTS === unix is now known as Guest11266 [16:58] mamece2, try it in the place that I mentioned, then login, then reboot, see if it retains your choice for you there.

That way if you close your terminal, you can still reattach [17:17] got it [17:17] I'm using Lucid Lynx 10.04, and using indicator-applet-complete, but my battery indicator is missing. It is also missing from the plain indicator-applet. [17:18] ActionParsnip: : see this, http://pastie.org/1196741 [17:22] Hello Ubuntuusers - after having compiled my testprogram that uses the berkeley db 5.1, the following error appears when I use the program: "./test: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" - the package libdb4.8-dev was just installed - has anyone an idea which package needs to be installed? [17:24] jaik: which one you used? shell script or gcc or gcc++ [17:25] how to change the dns ip in ubuntu........?????? [17:25] ActionParsnip: are you hear me? [17:25] mohan_: /etc/resolv.conf [17:25] will ubuntu font be used on webpages ? i don't know how that works [17:25] padhu: i compiled using gcc: "gcc test.c -o test -I /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/include/ -L /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/lib/ -ldb" [17:26] mohan_: that's correct /etc/resolv.conf [17:26] mohan_: Don't change DNS IPs, Just add you wish [17:26] jaik: If I'm not mistaken it has to be -I/usr... and -L/usr... [17:26] but don't trust m [17:26] me [17:27] I'm no good with any of that stuff [17:27] I've just picked that up from watching numerous things compile [17:27] jaik: make install [17:27] padhu@ can you plz elaborate.....?? [17:27] RBecker: tried it - that doesn't change anything [17:28] ok [17:28] I'm using Lucid Lynx 10.04, and using indicator-applet-complete, but my battery indicator is missing. It is also missing from the plain indicator-applet. [17:28] * AbhiJit wonders where is floodbot now [17:28] I wasn't sure [17:28] juk: what do you mean with "make install"? [17:28] Grunoko: go to System -> preferences -> Power Management -> Advanced Tab [17:29] jaik: cd source-tree/; ./configure; make; sudo make install [17:29] RBecker: I don't have an advanced tab. [17:29] err, General [17:29] ios there any apps for making xsplash for ubuntu 10.04 lucid? [17:29] sorry [17:29] jaik, can't you just locate the libdb-5.1.so on your system and include it with your package? alternatively you could statically compile the libdb-5.1.a into your application and it would carry the library with it. [17:29] down at the bottom [17:29] there should be some options to chose from [17:29] kool-aide: i dident think xsplash was used any more. its plymouth now. [17:29] mohan_: if DNS IPs are automatically added in /etc/resolv.conf, then don't edit. and also it may cleared automatically. Just add another, i always use open DNS 208.67.220.220 with my Internet provider DNS [17:29] RBecker: Okay, it has settings for the Notification Area, which works, but I used to have it in the Indicator Applet [17:30] RBecker: Do you know how I can get it back in the Indicator Applet? [17:30] mine shows up in indicator applet [17:30] Grunoko: try setting it to never show and then what you had it set to before? [17:30] padhu : so i just need to type 208.67.220.220 into the resolv.conf document..?? [17:30] jaik: I can't resolve your problem, but somebody in this room. be patient [17:31] RBecker: The way it's always worked for me, is it shows in the Indicator Applet, and if there's no Indicator Applet, it goes into the Notification Area, but now it won't go into the Indicator Applet anymore. [17:31] do you have anything else in the notification area? [17:31] padhu: mohan_: maybe you need to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf [17:31] mohan_: sudo su; echo "nameserver 208.67.220.220" >> /etc/resolv.conf [17:31] What package do I install for Eclipse CDT? [17:32] phil_in_london: that's what I'm trying now :) - you mean putting an #include in the sourcecode? [17:33] padhu: if they get it from dhcp then it will be overwriten when they get a new IP so if they want a new dns they would have change ti at /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf [17:33] sacarlson: I added it by script, :-) [17:33] jaik, if you have a look at where your libraries are, you'll also find file.a rather than file.o... the a will make it static. [17:33] juk: " cd source-tree/; ./configure; make; sudo make install" - could you tell me why those commands would change anything? :) [17:33] sacarlson: ok [17:33] padhu: that might work === neutrino is now known as tar- [17:33] looking for help with getting a DVD to play on 10.10 [17:34] jaik, you can do that with your command line parameters eg /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/include/libdb-5.1.a (thats just an example, I'm unsure of your folder layout) [17:34] padhu: I have a script to go to static address that overrides my dhcp [17:35] padhu: it also has to kill networkmanager [17:35] !dvd | bgeorge [17:35] bgeorge: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [17:35] phil_in_london: I'll try, but I already include the files, using gcc ... /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/include ? :) [17:35] padhu : i did it.,so now will my net speed increase..??, i saw a tutorial in youtube.., it asked me to change the dns ip to that of the open dns.., the ip which you provided.., so will my net speed increase..?? [17:36] sacarlson: i am not found /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf [17:36] vish: neither of my mentte's are showing any progress (checked gmane for both) I'm going to shoot them an email if they're still interested but otherwise I haven't seen them in IRC at all [17:36] mohan_: dns lookups MIGHT increase... [17:37] mohan_: I like opendns.org I do use them [17:37] ubottu: thanks for the links, I tried the official documentation page, but Movie Player doesn't start up when I put in a DVD [17:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:37] mohan_: i use this trick to speed the net considerabily. You may use internal DNS which is more tricky. But i am not yet tried. [17:38] bgeorge: start it up by hand.. tell it to play a dvd? Or try vlc/mplayer, or other video players perhaps.. see if any of them can play a dvd [17:38] padhu : so thats it.., now net is suppose to be faster..?? [17:38] padhu: dhcp3 is not installed by default but I run here to run my network [17:39] padhu: you might use the dhcp from you adsl box [17:39] jaik, I'm not exactly an expert, I mostly compile for custom kernels, but I've found that I do my configure, I get exact, heres a sample of one of configure parameters, yours will be different obviously. BLUETOOTH_LIBS=/home/phil/mylibs/compiled/lib/libbluetooth.a [17:39] Dr_Willis: it doesn't appear the DVD is mounted when I put it in [17:39] Hi. Does ubuntu 10.4 live cd supports reading an existing RAID-0 array on ICH10R controller (fakeraid)? I want to be able to clone the drive but ubuntu only recognizes the individual disks. [17:39] hi friends, how i can i search with ubuntu? [17:39] bgeorge: i dont think it needs to be.. the player can handle that [17:39] jaik, that forces the compiler to statically load the library and compile it into the application, it will, of course, be much bigger, but no more worrying about where the lib is :) [17:39] search for packages i want to install [17:39] My laptop has a RAM problem. It had 2x512 MB. I replaced one of the chips with 1x1GB, so now it has 1.5 GB. The 1.5 GB show up in the BIOS, system monitor, & ~ free -m. Nonetheless, when I stress it out (70 firefox tabs, google earth, a dozen documents, etc) it starts using swap around 800 MB, & won't pass 900 no matter what I do. Any ideas why the computer won't use the new 512 MB that it recognizes? [17:39] Dr_Willis: do you remember how? [17:40] sacarison : i opened the opendns website..., it didnt say nething about me using it..?? [17:40] jaik, do ./configure --help to determine which parameters you can control on the command line. [17:40] cryptopsy: try the ubuntu software center, and synaptic to browse the packages, and the apt-cache search PATTERN command [17:40] mohan_: it would be faster than my standard network. but you can have your own bind9 running local that would be even faster in most cases [17:40] what does the @ mean ? -rwxr--r--@ [17:40] phil_in_london: perhaps I misunderstand you completely: but now I used the following command: gcc ... -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/lib/libdb-5.1.a - doesn't work [17:40] phil_in_london: I'll try now the ./configure [17:41] jaik, yeah, see what you actually have control over. [17:41] sacarison : can you plz elaborate.....??, what is bind9..?? [17:41] mohan_: Just have a ride and expose your experience. But Internet Provider may uses great proxy servers, then they filter your packets labeled by open DNS. [17:41] anyoen know? [17:41] how to search for packages? [17:42] cryptopsy: Yes ---> try the ubuntu software center, and synaptic to browse the packages, and the apt-cache search PATTERN command [17:42] cryptopsy: the easiest way is to use the site package.ubuntu.com [17:42] !manual | cryptopsy [17:42] cryptopsy: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [17:42] cryptopsy: synaptic also has a search [17:43] what's the command line way to do it i dont have GUI something is borken [17:43] *packages.ubuntu.com [17:43] oh apt-cache search [17:43] cryptopsy: Yes - 3rd time --> apt-cache search PATTERN command [17:43] When I'm creating a launcher like I said, where do I put the command that I'd put in the terminal, I thought it was were it says Command but there's a browse next to that and goes to a location [17:43] cryptopsy : search in your ubuntu s/w centre or your synaptic..! [17:43] its hard to see when my font is screwed up, dr willies [17:43] uLinux: good catch. [17:43] dont have s/w center [17:43] Dr_Willis: using Movie Player, where would I tell it to find the dvd? [17:43] no gui [17:43] alazyworkaholic1: hardware experts advises to use identical size of RAMs on each slot. Replace 512MB RAM and try again [17:43] phil_in_london: ./configure --help shows up: No such file or directory -- you know, that the program was written and compiled by myself? [17:43] mohan_: you might take a look at http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/08/02/local-dns-cache-for-faster-browsing/ [17:44] bastidrazor: the easiest way is to use a package manager. using the packages.ubuntu.com will only confise a new user in to thinking they would need to download packages and depends manually [17:44] A_New_Server, that browse is there to find the executable in an application folder but generally the command to open the application is what you put there [17:44] confuse* [17:44] padhu: so I have to upgrade in tandem?? [17:44] jaik, oh, sorry about that. missed that part of your question, do you have an include within your code already for the libdb-so.5.1 ? [17:44] sorry, lidbdb-5.1.so ? [17:45] IdleOne: i agree. [17:45] So I would put the command there, _coz? [17:45] coz_* [17:45] phil_in_london: nop - i didn'T include it [17:45] bgeorge: i tend to use vlc. it has 'open disk' so i imagine you use /dev/sr0 or /dev/dev or /media/cdrom or /media/dvd in totem [17:45] alazyworkaholic1: yes [17:45] A_New_Server, yes ...what is this for? [17:45] padhu: huh, that blows. Thanks for the answer anyway. [17:45] jaik, have you done a search on your system to see if you have the libdb-5.1.a file ? you may not, and if not, you'll want to get the source of the libdb-5.1, it will have the "a" file. [17:45] bgeorge: if he disk has an icon on the desktop. you can p[roberly drag/drop it onto the movie player also [17:46] hey you guys, why does ubuntu have a keyring to connect to a wireless network? i don't quite understand what the developers were aiming for when they did this? its more like a nuisance imo [17:46] I dont even have any DVD videos to test [17:46] cannonfodder: it stores more then just the wireless password.. it can store other passwords as well [17:46] coz_, to quickly compile. It gets bothersome typing g++ $SDLFLAGS SDL.cpp -o SDL -lSDL -lSDL_ttf -lSDL_image each time and my RAM is really limited so I can't keep it up all the time to just press up to go to it through the history [17:47] oh ok [17:47] phil_in_london: yes, found it in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/lib/libdb-5.1.a [17:47] i need help with ss7 can any1 help me out [17:47] cannonfodder: and you can set the keyring where it dosent ask for the keyring password at login.. it just auto-unlocks [17:47] some software requires you to give privileges and it asks you for user/pw in the config console for the software, but in LIVE there is no root password [17:47] A_New_Server, understood... ok then type that as the command and see if it works ...or set it to run in a terminal [17:47] alazyworkaholic1: yw [17:47] jaik, try doing an include with that. [17:47] thanks Dr_Willis === neutrino is now known as tar- [17:48] jaik, unless its going to be prohibitively large, then you'll have to package your application with the so file. [17:48] heya [17:48] sacarlson: your link is right pointer [17:49] padhu: you need a left pointer? [17:49] i cannot find any decetn webcam grabber/sender [17:49] phil_in_london: it's a dummy question now - you mean #include in the sourcecode? [17:49] Is there a magic apt-get command to install java 1.4? [17:49] !java [17:49] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [17:49] I thought java was up to 6.xx now :) [17:49] coz_, How do you set it to run in a terminal? [17:49] jaik, but as I say, I don't have alot of experience, I make small edits to existing packages, and then compile them and/or their dependants. I've only ever used the command line to pass the library source to the compiler. [17:49] can someone please tell me how to remove the keyring thing? [17:50] padhu: I have some north south east and west if you need them [17:50] sacarlson: haha, not yet, ;-) [17:50] hi all [17:50] phil_in_london: ok, i'll try now - if i succeed, i'll report - thank you :) [17:50] A_New_Server, did you start this by right clickin desktop and choosine "Create launcher" ...yes? [17:50] Yes [17:50] Chaos2358: if you mean have the keyring not ask for a unlock password.. set your password in it to be blank, use the 'passwords and encryption keys' icon - right click on the entry that says 'login:' and change the password to be empty [17:50] And I put "Application in Terminal" but it's not working :\ [17:51] Chaos2358: try seahorse application [17:51] And I even moved it into the directory with the files in it and it didn't work :\ [17:51] A_New_Server, ok ..when the create launcher dialog opens there is the "Type" pull down menu which has "Application in terminal " option :) [17:51] dr_willis padhu thank you both [17:51] Is there any way to fix gnome-volume-control-applet icon? [17:51] That's what I did and it's not working :\ [17:51] A_New_Server, do you generally have to use "sudo" for that command? [17:51] uLinux: and whats broken about it? [17:52] Nu uh [17:52] how to install openss7 on ubuntu 10.04 [17:52] uLinux: I bet he deleted his mail icon like I did [17:52] man, I hope someone here can help with this "issue" !! I'm running the maverick beta, but when I try to capture a video with xvidcap, I get nothing but screen garbage as seen here: http://home.comcast.net/~devilhorns/files/xvidcap.mpeg [17:52] anyone have a clue ?? [17:52] A_New_Server, and when you run that command via terminal ...how long does it usually take to complete? [17:52] !resetpanel [17:52] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [17:52] Instantaneous, sometimes 1 second if I have a lot open [17:52] Dr_Willis% This is, I want java 1.4, not openjdk 6 - I'll just install a .zip or something. [17:53] sacarlson: I removed the evolution thing from panel [17:53] can anyone tell me what does plymouth looks like? is it the one when u boot up and u see something like ur username and ur password thing on the center of ur screen? is that plymouth? [17:53] A_New_Server, then it most likely ran that quickly when you clicked the launcher for it [17:53] if on gnome, how do i change font size of kde apps? [17:53] kool-aide: plymouth is the animation BEFOR that [17:53] uLinux: yup that did it [17:53] A_New_Server, not sure how to check that but if you know see if it did what it was suppose to do [17:53] Dr_Willis: the applet works but the icon is weird; doesnt the theme [17:53] kool-aide: grub -> kernel boots -> plymouth -> gdm login -> you get to the desktop [17:53] No, I saw the terminal open but it didn't complete the command becausethe program isn't updated with the souuce [17:53] *doesnt match [17:53] source* [17:53] A_New_Server, mm [17:54] The command compiles the C++ file into a program that I can then open, it hasn't changed the program at all [17:54] hi.. i just installed 10.10 and i am trying to set the resolution to 1280x1024 but im unable to [17:54] Dr_Willis: thanx....i got it...is there a way i can change manually my gdm login? i dont like my gdm login screen... :( [17:54] the max selection is 1360x768 [17:54] uLinux: I think you have to add the Indicator Applet again [17:54] A_New_Server, ah oh ok ... I wasnt paying attention.. you want to autmate that command for a compilation [17:55] coz_, yes :] [17:55] is there anyway i can get my desired resolution? :) [17:55] sacarlson: added [17:55] A_New_Server, mm I cant think off hand....just woke up :),,, how you would automate that for any compile ..thinking [17:55] sacarlson: it shows sound and email :s [17:55] kool-aide: it has minimal 'themability' you can change the wallpaper and fonts, and thats about it. [17:55] Dr_Willis: I installed VLC and attempted the 'open disk' feature. There isn't any values in the /media/ directory to select, /dev/dev and /dev/sr0 don't exist [17:55] :[ [17:56] sacarlson: gnome-volume-control-applet is better but only the icon is ugly [17:56] uLinux: ya too bad we can't delete just one of them === ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [17:56] anyone else using transmission? seems like it goes backwards once it gets to the end of a download. [17:56] sacarlson: we can't? can't we change the code or something [17:57] any xscreen lock application on ubuntu? [17:57] A_New_Server, mm ok you have me stumped on this one... barely awake thought... put it in a text file ...copy paste but that is also a pain [17:57] not screen saver with login screen [17:57] Yeh that's what I originally did [17:57] uLinux: I really don't need that mail thing. ya I guess not. I found it also works for irc trafic so maybe it's not worthless [17:57] Belial`, I prefer deluge .. easy to setup and the blocklist option isn't hidden 4 menus down [17:58] bgeorge: vlc defaults to /dev/sr0 here when i open disk.. could be some deeper issue where the system is not seeing the optical drive at all.. do dvd data disks work? [17:58] sacarlson: [17:58] sacarlson: i found something [17:58] uLinux: what? [17:58] BluesKaj, yeah, i was using deluge for some time now. i was gonna give transmission a try because it's so lightweight. but every time i get to the end of a download it somehow goes backwards by like .5% [17:58] http://shortrecipes.blogspot.com/2010/04/ubuntu-1004-how-to-remove-chat-and-mail.html [17:59] A_New_Server, I cant think of a way to automate that with a launcher... if no one else has input on this you could try either the ##linux channel or the #programming channel [17:59] Alright, thank you coz_ :] === james is now known as Guest49395 [17:59] Dr_Willis: Yes, data disks do work, they automount and an an icon shows up on the desktop [17:59] sacarlson: DONE :D [17:59] Belial`, is the downloaded app the same size in properties as the original indication [18:00] sacarlson: "sudo apt-get remove indicator-me indicator-messages" and then add Indicator Applet again! [18:00] sick [18:00] bgeorge: you have installed the various decss or whatever they are called packages to let you play encrypted/comercial dvds ? put in a disk and run 'dmesg' a few moments later. see if any messages/errors show up [18:01] BluesKaj, well, the original size was much larger since i unchecked quite a few things inside the torrent itself. but it seems the size of the files that were picked all add up to what transmission is saying. [18:01] uLinux: good move [18:01] :)) [18:02] uLinux: but now I'm happy with irc mail responce so I won't change it now [18:02] sacarlson: ok:P [18:02] uLinux: but before I thought it was just for email === desti_T2 is now known as desti [18:02] hi [18:03] uLinux: but nice to know there are other ways [18:03] The "System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers" lists two drivers for my NVIDIA card -- version 173 and version current. What version number is version current? How often will Ubuntu check to see if that driver has been updated? Will it be reported like other updates? The documentation is somewhat sparse here. [18:03] hi, how do i do to set my account of hotmail on thunderbird?? [18:03] Does ubuntu 10.4 live cd supports reading an existing RAID-0 array on ICH10R controller (fakeraid)? I want to be able to clone the drive but ubuntu only recognizes the individual disks. [18:03] how can i add a password to a LIVE environment user (i.e root user) ? [18:03] passwd works, but when i login root, it fails [18:03] Mathuin: most of the time ubuntu does not update driver versions, untill the next release. unless theres a security issue. [18:04] isaias, http://email.about.com/od/mozillathunderbirdtips/qt/et_free_hotmail.htm [18:04] Dr_Willis: if I want to ensure I really have the most current driver version, what should I do? === mohwaqas12 is now known as register [18:04] Belial`, hmm, strange...all I can think, is transmission starts seeding when the download stops but includes the first bit of upload data as download [18:04] Hi, I'm trying to create a usb startup disk using the startup disk creator (on lucid) with the iso of maverick. But it keeps failing with: Checksums do not match. Retry? [18:04] However, the md5sum is fine [18:04] then corrects itself, Belial` === register is now known as Guest28337 [18:05] balachmar, try unetbootin === Guest28337 is now known as mohwaqas12 [18:05] Mathuin, is this nvidia? [18:05] BluesKaj, that's actually a good explanation. makes sense. [18:05] coz_: yes, nvidia. [18:05] balachmar: visit www.pendrivelinux.com [18:05] Mathuin: i wouldent advise being onsessed with the 'latest' versions.. they can cause more problems then they fix. [18:05] Mathuin: i use the versions in the repos.. and thats it.. [18:05] AbhiJit, balachmar: be a little careful tho. I've had problems with unetbootin being kinda wonky sometimes tho. [18:06] update driver versions, untill the next release, or just have a xorg [18:06] Mathuin: i think the nvidia-current is the current/latest one in the repos.. [18:06] MatBoy, you could set the x-updates ppa it works and installs the 260.19.06 driver [18:06] Dr_Willis: I'm trying to determine whether the graphics glitches I am seeing with Civilization V under Steam are fixed with updated drivers. [18:06] Belial`, I noticed that on utorrent in windows as well [18:06] bit of strange, the usb startup creator should work right? [18:06] gksudo nautilus windows as well [18:06] BluesKaj, yeah, come to think of it, i think i have had that problem with utorrent now. [18:06] MatBoy, other than that you would have to jump through a few hoops to install the official nvidia driver .run [18:06] make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk'. Stop. [18:06] Mathuin: trying to use the latest drivers from nvidia.com may break more then a game glitz [18:06] How do I find out which package I need to install?

The box has ssh installed. :-) [18:07] the incoming port is pop3.live.com, port 995, but the out coming port is smtp.live.com, port 25, the incoming is right but the outcoming tells me that is not safe [18:07] Mathuin: often its not that simple.. [18:07] Ah, I think I found it. [18:07] hi... i would like to know how do i configure my x settings in ubuntu 10.10.. there dont seem to have a config file.. [18:07] coz_: thanks for the PPA pointer! what else does that include? [18:07] Dr_Willis: I attempted the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html I also ran the dmsg command, but not sure what I'm looking for. It ended with several messages stating : VFS: busy inotes on changed media or resized disk sr0 [18:07] i want to increase my resolution.. [18:07] Mathuin: theres various updated ppa's out there you may want to try.. but i dont use them [18:07] Does this mean my hard drive has crashed? : fsck /dev/sda1 gives me: fsck.ext3: Filesystem has unsupported features(s) while trying to open /dev/sda1 .. The superblock could not be read or does not... [18:07] rick, ask in #ubuntu+1 [18:08] Mathuin, just click on that link and the packages are listed there [18:08] Mathuin: ive seen to many others in here have to do reisntalls to try to get their stuff straightened out after messing with the 'latest' drivers. [18:08] I'm trying, but stupid IRC client doesn't stop scrolling, and this room is "social". [18:08] hey nobody for my problem ? [18:08] hey guys, anyone know how to run a [18:08] i installed suse and now the grub has no entry's for Ubuntu [18:08] anyone know how to fix it ? [18:08] * AbhiJit wonders what to do in this channel when maverick released. Because I am using lucid, and dunno about maverick! :( [18:08] Does anyone know why when I run Savage 2, all I see is a white screen, and a little window talking about being a new user and using tips and I can hear music? [18:08] Dr_Willis, I have used this ppa before... I have no seen any issues from using it ...but as with all nvidia drivers...as you know... each driver has it's own issues :) [18:09] clayse: boot a ubuntu live cd, chroot in, rerun update-grub and it Might see suse, and add it to the ubuntu grub menu [18:09] !fixgrub [18:09] 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. [18:09] coz_: you could be lucky.. others may not be so lucky.. :) [18:09] i could [18:09] Dr_Willis, this is also true :) [18:10] coz_: he could just wait 10 days till 10.10 gets released and try the drivers in there. :) but i bet they are not the latest nvidia drivers either. [18:10] tem brasileiro ai [18:10] It's not like this computer is all that important. I only use it for video games, doing my homework, fussing about with Android apps... hey, maybe I should back it up first. [18:10] tem português [18:10] Mathuin, unfortunately ,, ubuntu is making it very difficult to install the official nvidia driver for many reasons... it would be helpful if the current beta,,, 3 previous release and several legacy drivers were avialable in jockey [18:10] the official nvidia driver [18:11] Dr_Willis, :) yes that is even a better idea :) [18:11] ora pois [18:11] thanks i did it :-) [18:11] coz_: I can understand some difficulty if only for political purposes. I completely understand Ubuntu not liking proprietary drivers. :-) [18:11] Mathuin: when you have to do it again you will only do it better [18:11] does anyone know if the error message the fsck is returning indicates a hard disk failure? [18:11] babbleback: what error was that? [18:12] sacarison: hopefully this time actually using RAID like I couldn't back in April. :-) [18:12] babbleback: only if you told us what it said === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ === arno is now known as arnaud_bienner === bihari_ is now known as vipul [18:13] Speaking of which, if Empathy is the "official" IM client of Ubuntu, is there a better place to go for support than the Gnome IRC server? [18:14] Mathuin: ya with better tools to do it with. === Zeike is now known as brandonj [18:14] sacarison: maybe I'll spend my Sunday afternoon on it in two weeks. [18:14] i still need support === Cariyla is now known as Gerwin [18:15] Mathuin: well don't do it if you don't have to [18:15] Mathuin: lazy man talken [18:16] sacarlson: nah, if I like it, I'll use it elsewhere. [18:16] ? [18:16] though 10.10 UNE install failed miserably on my EeePC. [18:16] DVD will not automount and display on desktop [18:16] I filed a bug report, and talked about it in #ubuntu+1 already. [18:16] Mathuin: I have an eeepc. I have easypeasy on it [18:17] Does this mean my hard drive has crashed? : fsck /dev/sda1 gives me: fsck.ext3: Filesystem has unsupported features(s) while trying to open /dev/sda1 .. The superblock could not be read or does not... [18:17] babbleback: probly not [18:17] proberly not needed [18:18] sacarlson: I have two, one of the 7" and one of the 10". I'm very tempted to retire the 7" if it doesn't run 10.10 UNE. I like the 10" because it runs on 12V so it's perfect for ham radio games. [18:18] babbleback: well not hardware I mean [18:18] I'm not able to play a DVD movie === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [18:19] sacarlson: then how do i get the thing up and running again? ubuntu won't boot.. my other drives which have the data are fine.. using puppy linux to try and fix this.. can't mount /dev/sda [18:19] spain again [18:19] sacarlson: then how do i get the thing up and running again? ubuntu won't boot.. my other drives which have the data are fine.. using puppy linux to try and fix this.. can't mount /dev/sda1 that is which is the drive with the ubuntu-server on it [18:19] could bad sectors on a hard drive cause my computer to randomly rebo?

Rebooted successfully, 260.19.06 are installed, now let's see about that game. [18:20] wasutton3-Laptop: more likely bad ram [18:20] wasutton3-Laptop: or bad connection to ram [18:20] babbleback: you are trying to mount /dev/sda1 not /dev/sda ? and depending on the puppy version it may not have ext4 support. [18:20] sacarlson: I just did a ramtest, and it came back clean [18:21] wasutton3-Laptop: you might need to run it for 48 hours [18:21] wasutton3-Laptop: how often does your system fail? [18:22] Mathuin, game working? [18:22] sacarlson: really? hmmmm. it fails about after 2-3 hours of use [18:22] Starting up now. It's sad -- I have more than half the Civilization V achievements already. :-( [18:22] Could anybody here help me with some minor networking related problem? [18:22] wasutton3-Laptop: well then multiply that by 10 and see how mem test work [18:22] Mathuin: i just bought the Civ4 'super all in one pack' like 3 days befor V came out. :) [18:23] wasutton3-Laptop: its overheating??? [18:23] Dr_Willis: I played CivRev on the PS3 and loved it. [18:23] anyone here have any opinion on "system 76 or zareason"? [18:23] Okay, game starts up. Black screen at the start, I think it's an intro movie, but that's the same. [18:23] suprengr: it runs to about 60 degrees C under heavy load [18:24] wasutton3-Laptop: did it or does it fail on other os systems? [18:24] why doesn't my numpad work in ubuntu? [18:24] Numlock is on? [18:24] bye all... [18:24] best graphical firewall? [18:24] lol.. [18:24] sacarlson: Yes it fails under ubuntu and windows [18:24] !firewall | GHH [18:24] GHH: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [18:25] wasutton3-Laptop: wow sounds like hardware then [18:25] sacarlson: really? like heating issues? or like ram problems? [18:26] wasutton3-Laptop: if it fails mem test in long runs you might try clean the mem conectors. it got my old 7 year computer to work another 2 years [18:26] wasutton3-Laptop sometimes it's just dust [18:26] I have a wireless N USB dongle that is supposed to be giving me 150mbit /sec speeds, It's connected to a wireless N router capable of 300mbit/sec. But it is only giving me about 80mbit/sec when transfering Data to a gigabit wired machine. [18:26] plovs: nope, cleaned it out earlier [18:26] Running Ubuntu 10.4.1 Netbook edition. If anybody can help :) [18:27] sasha, very good speed [18:27] the rest are very grateful for the problem i have a total of 91 thefantasm || #1006 91 arbingordon || #1007 90 clever || #1008 90 clever || [18:27] wasutton3-Laptop: ya most failures are caused by bad connections [18:27] tomin [18:27] And the game works at least as well as it did before. Now I know I'm on the bleeding edge, though. Thanks! [18:27] sacarlson: hmmmm it should be fine. the ram is seated fine [18:27] sacarlson: mke2fs -n /dev/sda gives me a list of superblock backups then mke2fs -b 32768 (one of the superblock backups returned) /dev/sda1 gives me a warning about block sizes... looking at the man page it seems that i don't want to specify a block size like the web page you linked says to do, but i may be wrong.. what is the correct meathod to restore a supe [18:28] I'm not able to play a DVD movie, Disc doesn't show up on desktop [18:28] Really GHH? [18:28] I was kind of hoping for something like 130mbit/sec [18:28] it was having on thursday night [18:28] sasha, your internet speed [18:28] sasha, yeah [18:28] sasha, your internet speed [18:29] babbleback: what format type is it? ext2? ext3? ext4? .... [18:29] No no, this is within a network. [18:29] sasha, do you have many bluetooth devices in the area? [18:29] sacarlson ext2 i think i shoulda run e2fsck.. think i just really screwed up [18:29] Hello, I on this screen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ubuntu+boot+login.gif what login/pass enter? [18:29] Uhm, my mobile phone? but bluetooth isn't on [18:30] There is also a bluetooth reciever which is disabled within my laptop. [18:30] i'm loving this is within a channel once [18:30] sasha, just wondering, bluetooth uses the same 2.4ghz range as your router does and can cause interference. [18:30] babbleback: you might look at the partition with gparted and find out what it is [18:30] Ah.. intresting. [18:30] Well unless my disabled bluetooth reciever could be causing the problem? [18:30] sacarlson: mke2fs -n /dev/sda gives kinu a bluetooth reciever which is blocking me to play a dvd movie, disc doesn't show up on desktop [18:31] sacarlson : yep didn't pay close enough attention.. ran mke2fs -b 32768 /dev/sda1 instead of e2fsk -b 32768 /dev/sda1... did i just destory my data by overwriting the filesystem? [18:31] sasha, bluetooth receiver? disabled? just unchecked? or actually powered off? [18:32] There is a physical switch on the netbook and it is off. [18:32] running ubuntu 10.4.1 netbook edition [18:32] is there any way I can make newly created files belong to another user when in a specific folder? [18:32] http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=us&hl=uk&v=yohvvp6xshg this is the only way out [18:32] hola cual es la sala de ubuntu en español [18:32] sasha, do the following in a terminal hciconfig hci0 -a [18:32] sasha, that will confirm for you if its off or not. [18:32] !es | juanito28 [18:32] juanito28: 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. [18:32] babbleback: ya whey you say mke.... it normaly formats to fix it's like e2fsck -b 8193 [18:33] can't get device info, no such device. [18:33] sasha, its off then. [18:33] how do i create a drive with a ext3 or ext4 instead of ext2.. cfdisk doesn't appear to have it listed [18:33] sasha, are there many routers in your neighbourhood? perhaps you're competing for the the same channel? (those are 1 thru 11). [18:33] using 11. [18:33] sacarlson: can't believe i just did that.. wasn't paying attention and ran the wrong program. instead of restoring the superblock from a backup i just formated with a goofy block size [18:33] That could be it though. [18:34] movie DVD doesn't automount and show up on desktop. [18:34] sasha, I'd try a few different channels. [18:34] babbleback: cfdisk only makes the partition. the filesystem is done with mkfs [18:34] Will do, thanks phil. [18:34] babbleback: as was told to me above you said you run some older smaller system that won't have ext3 or bigger numbers [18:35] babbleback: well partly my fault for giving you something that had both commands in it without looking at it closer [18:35] whoa I changed folder and nautilus started an infinite loop opening new windows [18:36] babbleback: that's part of the problem you will see from me after a night of drinking too much beer [18:36] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and can't get a DVD movie to play [18:36] how can i install a gdm? i just downloaded one from gnome-look.org. sorry for the noobie question [18:36] sacarlson: ubuntu-server should allow me to create a ext3 or ext4 right? thats what this machine is... i'm just running puppy to fix the problem i was having.. but instead i hosed it.. owell shoulda payed attention to the warning... [18:36] ciao [18:36] c'è qualche italiano?

[19:28] hey [19:28] jeffreyf: never give more than you want [19:29] bobstro, i tried to press F1, F2, F10, F8, F12,F11 but i didn't tried any combinations. as u said [19:29] sacarlson: Or want more than you can give for that matter [19:29] bobstro, actually i m booting for the first time so i even don't know the key to boot [19:29] why does apt keep back kernel upgrades ? [19:29] jeffreyf: I will always take what people will give me no problem with that [19:30] amanthakur: when the bios message comes up, try f11 or f12 [19:30] I'm trying to execute HJSplit, but I get: ./HJSplitLX [19:30] ./HJSplitLX: symbol lookup error: ./HJSplitLX: undefined symbol: initPAnsiStrings [19:30] Chaos2358 what about moving them to a different destination [19:30] amanthakur: you may have to set bios option to allow boot menu. [19:30] ivers, try dist-upgrade? [19:30] bobstro, you mean like we do for cdrom and hdd?? [19:30] how come there are a couple dozen packages for 10.04 missing off of the archive.ubuntu.com mirror? [19:30] bobstro, first boot device? [19:30] sacarlson: True...but if you can't pay forward, you can only receive so much... [19:31] amanthakur: you may end up doing it that way, depening on your bios. i've got one machine that requires that way. [19:31] amanthakur: yes, like for cd or hdd.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:32] mkenya no luck [19:33] @ubottu: If that was addressed to me, I did ask the question, but got no answer. That was a second attempt!

[19:34] How do I bridge a connection in ubuntu? [19:34] My computer used to fail at reverse lookups for all of my IP addresses, which is what I wanted it to do especially when using iftop. Lately, it has suddenly begun doing successful lookups on the local IP address that resolve to "myserver.local". How can I make it stop successfully doing the lookup? [19:34] how can i install an icon? [19:34] i mean icon theme? [19:34] hey, how do I get mp3s to play in rhythmbox [19:34] I've tried installing a couple things from the wiki [19:34] Chaos2358 am still tying though am using bt4 let me see wat google can offer [19:34] from the restricted formats [19:35] think I installed ubunt-restricted-extras and non-free-codecs [19:35] but rhythmbox still won't play e.g. a simple mp3 internet radio stream [19:35] mkenya actually with the first install i had the mozilla vlc plug in when i was trying to enable dvd playback think that could be the problem? [19:35] it tells me I still need a plugin [19:35] lol [19:35] abstrakt yah try the plugin [19:35] mkenya, er... ok... which plugin? [19:36] i use video player to internet radio streams [19:36] :D [19:36] It's a HP Laserjet 1100, but I'm not getting that fat. I'm following the instructions at http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/printing_ubuntu, but the printer configuration tool isn't as shown in that document. It has an extra menu item, "server", it doesn't have the "New Printer" icon, and it says "disconnected" at the bottom. [19:36] Chaos2358, install libdvdcss2, instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [19:36] s/fat/far/ [19:36] I'm guessing no one knows? Lol [19:36] sebikul i have that [19:37] Chaos2358 true that can be since vlc displays the cover lists or try sebikuls method might work [19:37] hello [19:37] Wraithulek, sweet, ok yeah that does work [19:37] :) [19:37] still would like to get rhythmbox working [19:37] mkenya i have the libdvdcss2 but ill try reinstalling [19:37] Wraithulek, any ideas on that?

[19:39] but rhythmbox is still telling me I need to install a plugin [19:39] mkenya nope [19:39] Chaos if you have libdvdcss2 then i guess it should do the trick reinstall n lets c wat happens [19:39] im going to try the vlc plug in ill let you know whether it works so you'll know for future reference [19:40] !icons [19:40] Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop?

[19:41] Hey, somehow the "toggle fullscreen" in Eye of Gnome got changed for me... Now, if I press F11, I get "Image Properties" dialog pop up... Did anyone ever had such a thing and knows how to solve this? [19:41] mamece2: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [19:41] abstrakt: Is that all?

Package. I'm clueless with linux. [19:43] @HTT-Bird, Ok, I've installed HPLIP. Now how do I connect to the printer? As I say, the printer configuration tool doesn't give me the option to add a printer.

[19:54] Ken8521, I followed the instructions on restricted formats === daddoo is now known as Guest97972 [19:55] Scottie, well, first you need to make a bridge :) [19:55] no, they will pick up my built in cam, chicony but, not my external, which is what i need to use, the built in cam is crap =/ === Guest97972 is now known as Guezmer [19:55] HTT-Bird: How? [19:55] Mkenya if you download a video from torrent the file name is a big jumble if you rename it to just the title of the video it shows the video preview [19:55] bradpitt: ^] [19:55] @HTT-Bird: no, not tabs at the top of the window. I reinstalled CUPS using the package manager, though, and the printer configuration dialog is ok now so it looks as if yes, CUPS was broken. Thanks for the pointer :-) [19:55] Ken8521, yeh, k I have 64 bit I guess, can't remember why I choose that one, cuz I thought I had chosen 32, maybe I'll chalk it up to having 64bit [19:55] Ken8521, wouldn't surprise me [19:55] can i have a script doing sudo reboot and then i enters the sudo password ?? [19:55] Mkenya kinda crazy and doesnt make since but it works [19:55] brctl addbr if the man page isn't clear enough for you [19:55] hi, how can i check what wireless i have in ubuntu lucid, because it dont work, may be i need som drivers [19:55] digitig, \o/ [19:56] abstrakt, maybe... 64bit support is sometimes a little shaky compared to 32bit.. thats why i stick w/ it (plus, i don't really need 64bit funcationality) [19:56] HTT-Bird: I've made it that far, I just don't know what the name of bridge is supposed to be [19:56] hey anyone know how to check if i Got the netbook remix ubuntu or normal ? [19:56] Ken8521, yeah for what I'm doing I saw a significant performance boost actually, now that I remember, on 64 bit vs 32 bit [19:56] Madwill: gksudo shutdown -r now [19:56] i didn t look on the instlation and now i am confused [19:57] hi there. i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and just installed a router (works fine with a wireless laptop connected to it) but when I wire it to the pc with ubuntu, i can ping but none of the sites are working [19:57] and so far everything else has worked (amazingly enough) until now, but yeah 64 bit has always been a bit dodgy in my experience [19:57] which is kind of crazy and lame because we've had 64 bit systems for such a long time [19:57] Scottie, that's for you to decide, although the convention is brX where X is a number [19:57] mkenya you get it? [19:57] abstrakt, the last big puzzle piece for me has been 64-bit Flash [19:57] HTT-Bird: So I just make it up? [19:57] andrzejek, lspci -vv ? [19:57] Scottie, the conventional choice'd be br0 [19:57] I was told how to set my flags for compiling a .cpp file and now when I compile I just type $SDLFLAGS, is there a way to see what all is in that now? [19:57] like everyone's running a 64 bit proc pretty much by now but no one has put all the apps or OSs together well enough yet to handle it [19:57] aeon-ltd thx i can put that in a file and make it executable and i will only have to call that file ? [19:58] abstrakt, Linux is by far and wide the closest [19:58] Madwill: yeah [19:58] HTT-Bird, yeah I know, I heard there was a canonical release of 64 flash by Adobe recently for linux though [19:58] A_New_Server: echo $variablename [19:58] darn yah not yet tried it but let me try [19:58] Woot Thx a lot [19:58] I haven't tried it yet [19:58] abstrakt, indeed, I am running 10.2 prerel (aka "Square") on this box. [19:58] HTT-Bird: it says the command isn't found [19:58] Poke: http://ubuntustudio.org/ [19:58] Scottie, brctl addbr br0 ? [19:58] oops! [19:59] Hey all, is there a setting where I can make an app stay in the workspace that I opened it in while it is opening and while I switch to another workspace in the meantime? [19:59] HTT-Bird: Tried again. This time "Operation not permitted" [19:59] hello :) [19:59] hey anyone can help me ? [19:59] Krasus ask your question [19:59] I found what was wrong, somehow I changed shortcuts in the menu. To fix, I hovered over "File->Image Properties" menu item and pressed backspace to clear the F11 shortcut; then I and using the same method made F11 as a shortcut key to "Fullscreen" mode. [19:59] ok ave just downloaded a small clip and it does that y? [19:59] !ask [19:59] 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. :-) [19:59] how do I check what version of Ubuntu i have netbook remix or normal? [19:59] yes krasus what is you problem [20:00] mkenya what do you mean it does what? [20:00] Thank you blakkheim [20:00] Krasus: what does: lsb_release -a tell you [20:00] Scottie, ah. this is indeed one of those cases where you need superuser access to the box. so "sudo su -" to get a root-level prompt (and heed all warnings, as screwing up in root really can break your system to kingdom come) [20:00] Krasus: its the same, just that unr has one different package (which is the menu you see) [20:00] hello [20:00] Krasus: does System > About Ubuntu say anything?> [20:00] i mean a video starit from a cd doesnt do that the format is the same and all [20:01] HTT-Bird: So I do what? "sudo su brctl addbr br0"? [20:01] hello [20:01] is it possible to upgrade from ubuntu tu ubuntu studio via synaptic? [20:01] mkenya it must have something to do with the file name being such random jumbled stuff [20:01] Scottie, "sudo su -" as one command [20:01] What is the difference between Ubuntu Alternate, Kubuntu A. und XFCE A.? I think theuy do not include a desktop environment? [20:01] then the next command is "brctl addbr br0" [20:01] HTT-Bird: Okay. I'm in. Now do the command? [20:02] hola [20:02] i got a asustek a7n8x e deluxe with two ethernet on the main board [20:02] hola [20:02] jay_: apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop [20:02] mkenya im assuming ubuntu is recognizing it as a video file because of the file extension but not reading the preview [20:02] HTT-Bird: I did it and it brought up a new command line...what now? [20:02] que tal [20:02] hola carlos === Carlos is now known as Guest86179 [20:02] bien [20:02] thanks! [20:02] anyone here burned x360 game on Ubuntu? ;d [20:02] Scottie, "brctl addbr br0" again :) [20:02] starting different time, fist one then the other finished to work [20:02] Chaos2358 oww now i get it the long file name its opast 32 bit which doesnt wax if its on linux 32 bit check on google hence it reads it as afile not as a video clip [20:02] jay_: then you need to log out and Select Ubuntu Studio at the login manager [20:02] idle0ne [20:02] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [20:02] Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [20:02] Release: 10.04 [20:02] Codename: lucid [20:02] Krasus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:03] smth like that [20:03] alguien sabe como hacer que un programa de window lo lea esta maquina de linux [20:03] HTT-Bird: Says it already exists. Now what? [20:03] no i mounted a 100/10 board on the socket pci [20:03] Scottie, try "brctl addbr br1" :) [20:03] Krasus: ok. hmm what does your display look like? [20:03] but if i try to connect to http://debian.org is impossible [20:04] why ? [20:04] idle what do u mean ? [20:04] mkenya see it was simple and explains why it changed when i redid system because all my downloads go to an external then i move them to the internal drive and rename them when i re installed ubuntu all i did was move a few to the videos file didnt rename them [20:04] HTT-Bird: No, I mean, the first time I got no response. The second time it said I already made it. But what do I do now? [20:04] Krasus: UNR and default Ubuntu have a different User Interface [20:04] yes I know [20:05] seems like ubuntu studio is 9.10, I am using 10.04, will this make conflicts, or is it essentially dual-booting? [20:05] Chaos2358 guess u will now simply sleep soundly haha anyway its night in africa [20:05] that s why I asked becouse i didn t looked on instalation and now I can t get UNR interface [20:05] Scottie, ah. :) well, commands in the Linux world usually follow "no news is good news", i.e. if a command says nothing and sends you right back to the prompt, it worked! :) [20:05] and I think I picked wrong iso [20:05] HTT-Bird: Okay...where do I go from here? [20:05] so now I don t know if I need to instal new UNR or I allready instaled it [20:05] mkenya its just after noon here in the us [20:06] Krasus: does it look like the image in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR [20:06] big thanx to brad pit, snatch was fuckin cool [20:06] now what's the names of the ethernet and wireless interfaces on your laptop? [20:06] mkenya i appreciate your help too [20:06] ifconfig will tell them to you [20:06] !language | andrzejek [20:06] andrzejek: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[20:07] l'ultimo dominatore [20:07] Scottie, ifconfig is the terminal equivalent of "My Networks" :) [20:07] I'm surprised your wireless isn't called wlan0 or something like that [20:07] Chaos2358 glad to be of help like for an email should i write for you here to conact for help or wat? [20:08] Ah... it shows three. eth0, lo, and wlan0 [20:08] right. :) [20:08] hi all, i have a weird problem, I have an Asus F3jp, it has 2 jack 3.5" plug, one is for the mic the other for headphones (and maybe spif or something like that) with ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04, a red led inside this second plug stay on all time. why? how i can turn it off? thanks! [20:08] Afternoon! Does anybody have any experience w/ getting the nforce3 lan/audio to work w/ Ubuntu 10.04? [20:08] HTT-Bird: So, what now?

[20:08] Idleone: seems like ubuntu studio is 9.10, I am using 10.04, will this make conflicts, or is it essentially dual-booting? [20:09] ciao a tutti [20:09] HTT-Bird: Alright, but it still doesn't say my wired is working [20:09] Chaos2358 stcyberneo@gmail.com [20:09] aeon-ltd i get gksudo invalid option -- '-r' [20:09] Scottie, it will not. NetworkManager knows zip about bridges [20:10] jay_: the command I gave you will install the ubuntu studio packages which are essentially the same as default ubuntu. except for UI and some extra packages. you can get more info in #ubuntustudio [20:10] Chaos2358 got ago sleep have a nyc afternoon thanx for th problem glad we solved it... [20:10] Scottie, what does "brctl showif br0" say? [20:10] I need some guidance. [20:10] I just tried tmux and its awesome [20:10] mkenya good deal [20:10] mkenya how long have you been using ubuntu?

[20:12] bradpitt: why compiz [20:13] hey i have a program that takes as an input the contents of a file [20:13] mkenya all ive ever used before a week ago was windows now im on ubuntu [20:13] JoeCoolDesk: uh go get another one? [20:13] http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer_square_p2_64bit_linux_092710.tar.gz <-- unpack that tar file using Archive Manager [20:13] so instead of copy/pasting the contents of the file into the input, how do i pipe the contents of this file into this program? [20:13] JoeCoolDesk: =) [20:13] bradpitt: http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/bto/20080324/03_25_08UbuntuWorkspace1.jpg [20:13] tiox1: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer_square_p2_64bit_linux_092710.tar.gz [20:13] ^^ download link [20:13] mkquist, already did but I can transfer my files to it if I can't mount the old one. [20:13] uLinux, that's because you enable compiz [20:13] tron__ unrm or e2undel [20:13] How do I getg a hardware list? [20:13] totem and mplayer both play videos with a red cast and large pixellation artefacts. Any ideas why that might be? It was fine a few days ago and I haven't updated or changed configuration files in between... [20:13] bradpitt: but compiz comes enable by default.. right [20:13] hi, may I ask questions about ekiga here or do I need to go to another channel? [20:14] I'm sure there's some lower level stuff than just seeing the mounted drives. [20:14] enabled [20:14] hi I found an old laptop with ubuntu 7.04. Can I somehow update it to current without using the CD? (the CD reader is a bit flakey) [20:14] 'Kay, extracted. [20:14] Now what? [20:14] Chaos2358 guess we all have to move...haha how is it treatn u? [20:14] JoeCoolDesk: ahh recovery, different question... What have you tried? and do you have a working system to plug into (assume you do) [20:14] Hi! [20:14] uLinux, right just disable compiz edit workspace preferences and re enable again [20:14] arnotixe_: you might be able to upgrade it to 7.10->8.04->10.04 [20:14] anyone using 10.10? How does it compare to 10.04? [20:14] * tiox1 needs guidance like a dumb kid [20:14] bradpitt: how to disable? [20:14] I've tried a couple different computers. It worked once but then it didn't. [20:15] arnotixe_: it wouldn't be stable to but update-manager -d, also look into other options like usb sticks [20:15] tiox1, from a terminal: "sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins" [20:15] SwedeMike, ok but when I try to upgrade to 7.10 it says "cannot find" [20:15] appearance preferences> visual effetcs> none [20:15] Alright.

[20:16] mkenya, e2undel is for ext2 only. I searched for unrm it gave me 'tct' - Post mortem analysis of unix systems - Forensic tools [20:16] How can you say that's it's absolutly not stable and will be next week [20:16] Does anybody have any experience in making ubuntu 10.04 use the in-kernel modules to make nforce3 lan/audio (at least lan) work? [20:16] SwedeMike, yes I tried update-manager -d but that's where the release notes can't be found. Maybe it can be forced to check for even newer versions... [20:16] (note, that's the system-wide plugin location for Firefox, so you need root permissions to access it) [20:16] mkquist, that's not low-level. I mean looooow level. I've seen it before where it told me it could see the drive but it couldn't get the name from the drive. [20:16] Frostwolf: did you try it with 10.10 already?

[20:18] arnotixe_: perhaps 7.10 has been removed so it can't find it anywhere. [20:19] soc: err, actually dont know how to make it use the inhouse modules.

[20:20] I would also like to explain, I am running Ubuntu from a USB drive I compiled with pendrivelinux. Can i still be able to install and use it? [20:20] running 9.04. recently upgraded grafix card from nvidia 7800 GTS to nvidia 450 GTS. I no longer have working grafix driver. Is there a way i can remedy this problem? [20:20] tiox1, yes! :) [20:20] mkenya yea its different but worth it and it also helps you become better with systems because you have to use more command prompts [20:20] Hi, may I ask help about ekiga here or do I need to open another channel? [20:20] anyone here burned x360 game on Ubuntu? ;d [20:20] R1cochet: Installing official drivers from nVidia web [20:21] aeon-ltd: Just change permissions in nautilus?

Though I found some info about Testdisk on stack exchange and I am trying to use it ) [20:21] yoramdavid: If the problem affects ubuntu itself, then here [20:21] R1cochet, ooh, I think you need a MUCH newer version of the NVidia blob, keep in mind that 9.04 is going end-of-life this month, so this sounds like a good time to upgrade. [20:21] And HTT-Bird, IF i PUT THE FILE IN /USR/BIN, THEN THE FILE WILL STAT AND DO ALL THAT STUFF WITH THE CP COMMAND RIGHT? [20:21] Ugh caps.

[22:46] what i need to change? in repositories everywhere it says lucid to maverick? [22:46] yes [22:46] my friend isn't [22:46] can i just write the filesystem to linux again and then make it bootable or will that erase the information already installed on the partition?

[23:13] Does anyone here know if Ubuntu 10.04 may be at fault for my media-computer not showing up as a LAN-client in my router's status?

I got it installed and gmond is running, but no idea what it's doing or where the frontend is being displayed [23:13] help please [23:14] callgary: then the command exists, and it should run fine, perhaps something messed up your PATH, exit that root shell and type: sudo update-grub [23:14] really want to install it ! it doesnt install from the first menu ... it goes livecd ... then in the desktop icon it doesnt do anything ... when running on command line, it says Bus error === ubuntu is now known as kpoman [23:14] sorry [23:14] ubuntu: type /join #ubuntu+1 and ask there [23:14] changed nickname [23:14] bobstro: can't seem to apt-get colortail in ubuntu 9.10 :( [23:15] ilovefairuz: still says "/etc/default/grub: 1: I#: not found" [23:15] infid: ah, i know it's been around forever. try 'apt-cache search log | grep color' perhaps? [23:15] someone know how to install 10.10 ? [23:16] kpoman: #ubuntu+1 [23:16] callgary: remove the erroneous "I" at the very beginning of the file, before the # [23:16] ilovefairuz, well that got grub loading at startup but i guess i forgot to creat the grub.conf file [23:17] ilovefairuz: this should be simple. I don't get it! [23:17] bobstro: that just shows ccze, loco and lwatch [23:17] bobstro: i'll try compiling it from source i guess [23:17] callgary: in the file /etc/default/grub, the very first letter is an "I", remove it [23:18] infid: the others may be just fine too. [23:18] callgary: it shows up in your pastebin [23:18] Anyone having Sync issues with an Iphone? The files say they transfer but they are un-playable.

[23:26] but when I uinstall other one it will be ok? [23:27] callgary: pastebin: lsusb [23:27] ilovefairuz: There were no links in your text.

[23:32] jfarrell: All you need to do to get ssh (the server, right?) to start when you boot is install the 'openssh-server' package [23:32] jfarrell: There's nothing else required, just `sudo apt-get install openssh-server` and you're done [23:32] Flannel, yup [23:32] someone told me to run `sudo -c "echo 1 > /dev/sda"`, could someone please explain what that does? o.o [23:33] Flannel, i have ssh already installe, though i did apt-get install ssh [23:33] guys, from the output of "ping" which is of this format 'min/avg/max/mdev' , what does the 'mdev' mean? [23:33] but it is NOT starting at boot [23:33] chazz: Don't run it. [23:33] Flannel, what does it do? [23:33] Hi , i am able to boot into 10.04 only by using the "noapic nolapic " options , otherwise my mouse and keyboard are stuck , is there any real soultion for this ? (currently only one of my cpucores is detected) [23:34] strange, ps aux has ssh running [23:34] chazz: It writes a '1' to your hard disk, causing boot troubles, I'm sure. [23:34] yet when i attempt a remote connection i get nothing [23:34] Flannel, oh [23:34] jfarrell: Can you connect locally? [23:34] callgary: http://www.sane-project.org/unsupported/canon-lide-90.html .. you should file a bug report, join #ubuntu-bugs for help with that [23:34] Flannel, affirmative === Liammm is now known as Liammm|AFK [23:34] i am backing the ssh out going to run the command you indicated above [23:35] jfarrell: I meant locally over ssh, it's likely not an ssh issue if you can connect locally [23:35] Flannel, strange, it is saying i already have ssh [23:35] :) [23:35] jfarrell: 'ssh' installs openssh-server, so yeah, you do. [23:35] network is unreachable [23:35] jfarrell: Are you port forwarding at your router successfully? [23:36] Flannel, this is all inside the network [23:36] jfarrell: Do you have the correct IP? [23:36] yes [23:36] wait one [23:37] check that, i do not have an IP [23:38] Flannel, ahh i found the problem [23:38] jfarrell: Good to hear [23:38] its the wireless [23:38] it doesnt connect until i login via X [23:38] how to automate that? [23:39] or would it be easier to just grab a cable? [23:39] I hate my ubuntu windows freezing and dimming every time I rub their hair the wrong way. Is it some sort of green mode gone crazy, anyone else have that problem? [23:39] hi, is it possible to remap the copy/paste keys from control-c/v to something else? [23:39] spike: why? Do you know about middle click to paste? [23:40] bobstro: any idea why colortail shows colors by default without any commandline args when i apt-get it in ubuntu 10.04, but when i compiled from source in ubuntu 9.10 i had to use -k /path/to/conf.global? [23:41] Flannel, i dont suppose you have any ideas on how to autoamte that portion [23:41] infid: probably because of how you compiled it? [23:41] jrib well the README only says to do it this way [23:41] jrib: I do, I still want to remap them. any idea how? [23:41] jfarrell: I don't, no. I don't deal with wifi a whole lot. Someone else in this channel can probably help you though, just not me :) [23:41] spike: you didn't answer "why?" [23:42] can I run my VB.net apps in Ubuntu? [23:42] this is rather amusing, i must admit :) I have to be logged into X for the machine to connect to the network [23:42] jrib: i guess i can just alias it to that command [23:42] Blueblaze, in theory, if you use Mono [23:42] infid: why don't you just use the repository's version anyway? [23:42] though i do not recall if Mono supports VB .net syntax [23:42] jrib the repos version doesnt even have a ./configure script [23:42] ah alright, thanks [23:42] infid: so? [23:42] jfarrell: if you want wifi to connect at boot like wired, use wpa_supplicant and add to /etc/network/interfaces [23:42] jrib so i dont know how to install it [23:43] sweetpi, i think ill just go buy a cable [23:43] which, as this is a server, id rather have it wired anyway [23:43] infid: I don't understand. It sounds like you already installed colortail through the repositories and used it at some point. Am I mistaken? [23:43] does anyone know how to completely quit/restart empathy? [23:43] jfarrell: if you set it up with network manager, it won't connect until you log in unless you install the connection for all uses (which makes sense in a way, but installed for all users should probably be default) [23:44] mun__: killall empathy [23:44] jrib: no i ended up gettin the tarball from a non repo [23:44] mun__, I recommend you use sudo apt-get remove empathy-client and then do sudo apt-get install pidgin. Empathy is bad [23:44] or empathy or whatever [23:44] infid: then how do you know the behavior is different in the apt-get version? [23:44] wjat [23:44] what's wrong with empathy [23:44] jrib: because i have two different ubuntu systems [23:45] infid: " any idea why colortail shows colors by default without any commandline args when i apt-get it in ubuntu 10.04" [23:45] infid: are you saying that colortail is not in 9.10 repositories? [23:45] jrib: correct [23:45] hi guys, does anyone knows if uCARP has the same features as CARP in OpenBSD? i want to use the arp load balancing feature [23:45] by repository i thought you maent it's github repo [23:45] !backports | infid [23:45] infid: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports.

"iwlist scan" returns the access point, I connecto to it through "iwconfig wlan0 ...etc" but then "iwconfig wlan0" shows that it is not associated. There is no encryption.
