[00:00] agentgasmask: the bit i'm not sure of is whether sharing will listen on any interface (tun0 incl.) or only the physical interface. [00:00] Yea, OK, so the answer is NO, there's no reasonable GUI to simply enter an IP, username, and password. [00:00] The_Paco: if its a significant bump in revision it is probablyalready in the ppa of the maintainer [00:00] bobstro: ok, ssh works, so it is the machine [00:00] bobstro: oh... can we test it with some more verbose output? [00:01] agentgasmask: if you have sharing enabled already and it's not being seen, problem is likely sharing not enabled for vpn-type interfaces. [00:01] agentgasmask: sorry man, but dinner is ready NOW. i got to run. [00:01] bobstro: I understand, thanks. bye [00:04] Anyone else have any help with getting printer sharing to listen on a vpn?

You could always check if it works with a live cd in the off chance the problem is with the ipod [01:30] is there anyway to 'extract' music files from their directory and put them all in one folder? [01:31] darkkrai, what do you mean by "extract" ? [01:31] am i still talking to myself or can anyone see this? [01:31] well cut the files from their directories [01:31] jabarb: yes [01:31] and then place them all in a single folder [01:31] awesome. thanks [01:32] darkkrai, fairly easy to do :) are all the folders in the same place to begin with? [01:32] Looking to build a system, no internet access other than wifi, so I'm looking for either a PCI card or USB WiFi dongle that'll work out of the box (IE, without an active internet connection) with Ubuntu. Any suggestions? [01:32] Can someone point me to a guide that helps explain sharing data (documents, videos, bookmarks, etc) between a Windows partition (NTFS) and a Ubuntu partition (ext4)? [01:32] rebuntu, I can just tell you if you PM me. [01:32] yes, they are all in /home/darkkrai/music [01:32] Hey are there any commercial video editing applications for Linux? [01:32] rebuntu, :) [01:32] LiVES and Avidemux seem hopeless at editing Matroska/H264 videos [01:33] darkkrai, are you comfortable enough to open up a console? [01:33] yes, I am fine with cli [01:33] I prefer it to gui [01:34] rebuntu, put them in same NTFS dir [01:34] just rusty with linux [01:34] hi [01:34] been out and about with different distros and *shudder* windows for some time :P [01:34] hello all [01:34] ?

[01:35] how to remove ENVELOPE icon from systray? [01:35] awww :( i realy like it there, i like it how it integrates with email and pidgin [01:36] honestly, can anyone tell me wich one of the desktop is better. Gnome or KDE? I know some of you may say it's depend of my liking, I just need a comment between the two. [01:36] gnome is better in my opinion [01:36] kde feels plastic-y [01:36] ariakus, that envelope is tied in with evolution mail software, I couldn't figure out how to just get the envelope gone, so I removed that whole small panel and then just added the bits back that I wanted. [01:36] I agree darkkrai [01:36] kde is bloated, gaudy, unusable piece of experimantal crap [01:36] etzerd, kde if you like shiny visuals, gnome if you want to sacrifice some glitter for efficiency and practicality [01:37] because the graphic is better in gnome [01:37] !ot [01:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:37] darkkrai, here u go: find ~/temp -name *mp3 -exec mv {} . \; [01:37] darkkrai, just change ~/temp to your directory where the music is at [01:37] how to make window BORDERS and scrollbars THICKER? cannot hit them [01:38] darkkrai, ~/music i believe u said [01:38] oh [01:38] and keep in mind [01:38] it will move all of them === marc is now known as Guest18518 [01:38] to the directory u run the command from [01:38] ariakus, i would love to know this too. so hard to resize the windows most of the time [01:38] darkkrai, if you'd like to move it all to a specific place specify it in the place of the .

[01:42] find: missing argument to `-exec' [01:42] darkkrai, maybe you mistyped something [01:42] Hey folks. I'm having trouble with cron. I've made a task with the Scheduled Tasks gui and when I run it manually, it works (it just appends to a file that I am tailing). But if I set it to run every minute, it doesn't work. I'm in ubuntu, but there are no cron.allow or cron.deny files, so I think my user should be allowed to have cronjobs. Anywhere else I should look? [01:43] darkkrai, try: find /home/darkkrai/music -name *mp3 -exec mv {} /home/darkkrai/music \; [01:43] darkkrai, that will grab all mp3s from folders inside ~/music & place them directly in the ~music folder [01:44] what does the > mean? [01:44] darkkrai, this is the syntax in case you want to change it: find -type f -exec mv {} \; [01:44] darkkrai, that shouldnt really be there - it means the command wasn't typed in full sometimes. never seen it with find tho [01:44] help kill -9 isn't working [01:44] got it [01:44] thanks :) [01:45] darkkrai, np [01:45] darkkrai, you missed semivolon somewhere [01:45] I got it [01:45] anyway to do any file? [01:45] not just mp3 [01:46] darkkrai, any file is the one i sent you the syntax for. notice that instead of -name it has -type f (which means any file) [01:46] darkkrai, if you want files according to a naming property do -name as i did *mp3 for mp3s [01:47] awesome! [01:47] *hands dborba one penguin cookie* [01:47] :D [01:47] Morning all [01:48] What are the possible reasons for a cronjob to not be running (which works when I execute it manually)?

[01:50] i am on maverick, how do i restart sound? [01:50] air0day: check /var/log/syslog to see if anything is getting logged.

[01:51] can anyone help me with this chat? [01:51] hello guys, i cannot play movies from axxo, can anyone help me? what should i dl? [01:51] but it doesn't actually do what the script says. and when i run it manually with the scheduled tasks interface, it does exactly what i expect?

[01:53] no.. it's in /usr/local/bin though.... [01:54] why ubuntu software centrer so bnuggy after yhose years, slow as hell and crashes al the time? [01:54] i've never seen the software center crash [01:54] I have an acer aspire 7540 when I disable the touchpad/mouse buttons with the key to disable it when you go to turn it back on it doesn't respond at all. Requires a restart to use the pad after that, any ideas? [01:55] damn, that fixed it [01:55] why does it need the full path? [01:55] it did twice today [01:55] because the PATH isn't defined [01:55] [ 4127.267386] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 605644 [01:55] D: [01:55] interesting [01:55] well that solved it, thanks! [01:56] no problem [01:56] it's a little misleading of the scheduled tasks interface i guess [01:56] because i thought that, because that gui was a user-driven thing (not running as root) that the command would execute in my shell [01:56] and thus have my paths [01:57] i think it uses what is defined in /etc/crontab [01:58] interesting [01:58] well, thanks! [01:58] hello guys, i cannot play movies from axxo, can anyone help me? what should i dl? [01:58] loool [01:59] mamece2: Which program are you trying to use to play them?

[02:02] battery charging x 200. [02:02] hmm strange [02:02] anyway, gone now. [02:04] Hello all, anyone know anything about thr RC 10.10, darn thing doesnt boot on my computer, hits the menu then goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor [02:04] Itunes!!! Ubuntu + Ipod = failll [02:04] :D [02:04] console windows are missing also [02:04] cya :/ [02:04] Dragon64: after you've installed.. or just the livecd not working? [02:04] hi guys, anyone experienced with default radeondriver and mobile gpus ? [02:04] guys what about the best virtual machine app? [02:04] normally I can switch to an alternate console and check boot messages etc [02:05] live cd [02:05] tried all the different boot options also [02:05] !polls > mamece2 [02:05] mamece2, please see my private message [02:05] it just stops like its not even trying [02:05] i think you can hit F4 to go to safe graphics mode [02:05] checked md5sum ... is good [02:06] hello, is there any openoffice assitence channel? thanks [02:06] no, it doesnt even get that far, I tried switching xforcevesa on ... no good [02:06] mamece2: i like virtualbox [02:06] thats how i got 10.4 to boot, this just sits and blinks [02:07] n-iCe: #Openoffice.org [02:07] so it doesn't even get to the menu where you can choose to try, install ubuntu etc? [02:07] Dragon64: had same but white screen, solved by adding "nomodeset" to the etc/default/grub file GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" [02:07] Can someone help me with Desktop Search in KDE 4.5.1? [02:07] it will do that, then regardless of which option i select all i get is black screen with cursor [02:07] terminal then my question will be this: what is the more efficient VM? i have a 1gb ram laptop. [02:07] yeah, at that screen hit F4 [02:08] and no terminals either [02:08] ok [02:08] mamece2: virtualbox would probably be ok [02:08] it's free, which is nice :P [02:08] terminal thx [02:08] terminal, sorry for the delayed response. After replacing the defective drive I can only boot to the point at which the root file system attempts to moundt (I have a /boot part) at which point it times out and I'm dumped to the initramfs prompt. [02:09] i have a problem with rhythmbox, i cannot athenticate to las.fm :S [02:09] last.fm [02:09] I need to add a patch to xchat to make it fix a bug. Anyone willing to help me? http://xchat.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xchat/src/fe-gtk/servlistgui.c?view=markup&pathrev=1367 [02:09] terminal, I'm currently using dd to copy the working drive contents to the new (mirrored) drive in the hopes that I will be able to run the rebuild afterward. [02:09] I don't know how to do this [02:10] zanberdo_: hmm, i haven't worked with dmraid much. i don't see why you can't boot.. the drives were mirrored [02:10] hey, a few applications kinda glitch out on me in 10.10 [02:10] terminal, but this is what I'm unclear. The error I get when I attempt to rebuild is hat my volume is not in rebuild state (current: 0) [02:10] I need desktop search working in KDE. I get nothing but a message saying "Strigi service is not working..." [02:10] ohh [02:10] terminal, aye, the drives were mirrored, and whilst I had the defective drive installed though it was marked as offline I was able to boot to the os [02:11] such as Evolution, if I use anything except email, whenever I click anything, it fullscreens, & again, it goes out of fullscreen [02:11] terminal, mind you, I'm running ubuntu 9.04 (for what it's worth) with dmraid version 1.0.0.rc15 [02:11] it makes the application unusable [02:11] zanberdo_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-856691.html [02:11] terminal, yeah, read that. [02:12] anyone here good at making monochrome icons that can match a specified theme? [02:12] anyone around using alsa without pulse? [02:12] hey, does anyone know how to change default port for terminal server?, sorry for offtopic [02:12] zanberdo_: lol, solution isn't that great right? :p [02:12] terminal, it looks as though the solution in the case of the link is to boot to windows and use the windows raid utilities. of course, I haven't got windows installed, so that's not an option. [02:13] terminal, I've read in different places that rebuild is not supported on the intel matrix raid controller, but I can't be sure that's relevant to me... so I'm going to attempt the dd solutions and see what happens. [02:13] yeah that is what i am reading [02:13] i suspect that even if you do the dd copy it won't work === edo is now known as Guest40371 [02:14] i have a problem with rhythmbox, i cannot athenticate to last.fm :S i put my paw and user name and it says its incorrect [02:14] terminal, I suspect I'm screwed, which is unfortunate. It seems mdadm is a better solution than dmraid, but since I used the solution offered via the alternate install disk for ubuntu 9.04 I evidently didn't have the option to select mdadm in lieu of dmraid [02:14] yeah [02:14] I'm running a server. How do I let a user Only be able to access one folder (besides his home)? [02:15] maybe you could try making a bartpe boot disk and use that to get access to windows and run the intel raid software [02:15] terminal, do you know if I can convert from dmraid to mdadm on the fly or do you think I'll have to rebuild this machine from scratch... [02:15] :P [02:15] JoeCoolDesk: possibly jailkit [02:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/601376 [02:15] terminal bartpe? googling [02:16] hi [02:16] everyone [02:17] zanberdo_: you can probably take your other drive outside of the raid array and then add the second drive as an mdadm mirror [02:17] this doc is for archlinux, but it'd be similar: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Convert_a_single_drive_system_to_RAID [02:17] terminal, thanks, I'll read up on this [02:17] I have a new lucid install... but the the gdm login isn't coming up!.. I can ssh into the computer! what could be wrong? === radgyrst is now known as sissiwimp [02:18] could somebody give me a hand on instaling ubuntu on a disk with 2 partition (1º has win 2º has docs music etc etc) and keeping the second [02:19] terminal, question: since this is fakeraid, if I disable raid from bios, will the working drive be bootable? I'm a little fuzzy on what happens at boot time with dmraid, etc. [02:19] i don't get it: processor load is < 50% but input is very inresponsible; lso 40% of ram is free but swapfile is already used, why? [02:19] you might need to boot off of an alternate cd.. then go into recovery mode and run update-grub [02:19] because it will no longer boot from /dev/mapper/whatever.. [02:19] it'll just be /dev/sda [02:20] terminal, yeah, that sounds right [02:20] terminal, ok, it appears I have my work cut out for me. [02:20] terminal, thanks for the suggestions. [02:20] vlc worked, ncie [02:20] everyone here uses pulse? [02:21] well did some one read me?? [02:21] :( [02:22] Feten, does 1st have windows? [02:22] yes [02:22] no i am with live ubuntu [02:22] no problem zanberdo_ [02:22] you want to keep it [02:22] I have a new lucid install... but the the gdm login isn't coming up!.. I can ssh into the computer!... doesn't work ether... what could be wrong?

[03:54] daftykins, also my onboard soundcard works sometimes and sometimes is not detected at all [03:54] wasnik: have you tried plugging it in when the PC is off instead of whilst it's running? [03:54] Skeletal, what is your OS - if you go to Synaptic Package manager and type PPPOE in search you will find many utilities - one being pppoeconf etc [03:54] daftykins, i did taht but then ubuntu didnt load at all [03:54] My system is BackTrack4 [03:54] no worries got it [03:54] this is ubuntu channel [03:54] wasnik: sounds like something more serious is up with your PC [03:55] i dont have synaptic here [03:55] Skeletal: you can't get support for non-ubuntu in here.

There's a thread about it for 10.10, but I'm in 10.04 and it seems some others have had the same issue. Ideas? [04:00] I'm having a problem with my printer, I had to delete my old printer setup because my aunt changed the ip address so it won't change, now I can't get my printer set up again :( [04:00] What package is the 'debpartial' tool found in? [04:01] daftykins, i had done that a few weeks back using my bios and it said my harddrive was excellent [04:01] Braber01: you ahve no printer installed at all right now? Have you tried installing a new network printer? [04:01] YES! I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MY GOAL! [04:02] wasnik: memtest has nothing to do with the hard disk :) [04:02] MooshiMuushi: what worked? [04:02] MooshiMuushi: Good to hear! [04:02] MooshiMuushi: yes, very good! [04:02] LinuxGuy2009: debpartial-mirror maybe? [04:02] Give me a second. [04:02] daftykins: ssd memtest maybe? [04:02] <|Sacred|> anyone have any issues with google voice and ubuntu? Seemed to work beautifully at first, now everytime I try to use it, it asks me to reinstall. Which I do, but only to see it ask me the same thing again over and over [04:02] Doyle: Yes I have [04:03] rob_p: Ill try that. [04:03] Doyle: you're having a laugh right? memtest86+ tests RAM... nothing to do with storage other than where you run it from :) [04:03] Braber01: can you get a printer installed? For example, does it install, and not print? What exactly is happening? [04:03] rob_p: Nope already have that installed. [04:03] <|Sacred|> this is via firefox btw [04:03] <|Sacred|> obviously [04:03] haha [04:03] !paste [04:03] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

How do I do it? [04:04] LinuxGuy2009: That's the only thing that came up with an apt-cache search. Anyway, good luck. [04:04] braber01, when installing the printer I'm assuming you get to a point where you add the ip address, eg 192.168.0.3 make sure to use a port as well, eg 192.168.0.3:631 [04:04] |Sacred|: is it in APT? tried a purge reinstall? [04:04] Braber01: when you print the network config from your printer, are you using the ip it lists? [04:04] <|Sacred|> I'm not sure, I just get the .deb from gmail website (as current) [04:05] <|Sacred|> :/ [04:05] Doyle: I was earlier however I don't think I am now [04:05] Doyle, rob_p, This was pretty much it. With NM disabled. http://paste.ubuntu.com/506187/ [04:05] <|Sacred|> never felt so stupid in my life, having it work, now it wont lol [04:05] Braber01: use the IP address the printer says it has... [04:05] <|Sacred|> I'll check repos [04:05] |Sacred|: ok there might be some related config in your ~ that's breaking it [04:05] Doyle: will it also have a port number? [04:06] MooshiMuushi: good stuff, loopback [04:06] Hello, i am trying to get xen server but i can't get it due to xen-tools not being there [04:06] Doyle, rob_p, I still didn't get what I did...but hey! :D [04:07] and when i try to install xen-tools it can't find it [04:07] Braber01: 631 usually [04:08] any idea's on what i'm doing? [04:08] hi(All); Can I ask here about ubuntu and hardware? [04:08] wrong. [04:09] Is there a package that will help change my resolution from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 on my laptop? [04:09] kazoo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1481308 [04:09] izinucs: is it a supported resolution of the device? Do you have the drivers installed? [04:09] it should automatically use the right resolution [04:10] Doyle: it is supported.. device is ati readon 9600 built into the laptop [04:10] izinucs: isntall your graphic driver first [04:10] Doyle: whatever the stock driver is.. it's currently working but hasn't discovered that particular resolution [04:11] izinucs: you need to install the ati driver for linux [04:11] izinus If you are using Nvidia use nvidia-settings to change resolution [04:11] izinucs If you are using Nvidia use nvidia-settings to change resolution [04:11] Doyle: k.. from synaptics? or are you talking about the binary blob [04:11] pksadiq: ati [04:12] Hi, I would like to know what are the main differences between the GPL license and the Apache license [04:12] o-brown: google for complete detail [04:13] Doyle: looks like the ati readon driver is already installed.. I assume that is what is currently activated.. I think I need to add the resolution to xrandr [04:13] Hello, need assistance with fresh install of Kubuntu 10.04.1. I can't see available wireless APs. can't find a suitable program in kpackagekit that will show me any wireless networks in the area [04:13] izinucs: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx [04:13] I installed ubuntu 10.04 32bit on this hardware (Amd Phenom x4 925, MB Asus m4a77td pro, 4Gb Ram). And I have very strange bug (or this is not a bug?) [04:13] izinucs: don't over think it. If you look closely the 9600 isn't supported by anything in the repos for ubuntu [04:14] Doyle: k.. I'll look at the link [04:14] when ubuntu is running, RTC slows for 1 sec every 10 minutes [04:15] (checked with ntp untp.ubuntu.com) [04:15] Exploiter: ouf course I did google before coming here, but when I have to answer the question under which license should I publish, then it comes a little tricky... [04:15] * ntp.ubuntu.com [04:16] but, when system is off or it's running other os (DOS, Windows, Ubuntu 7.10), RTC works perfectly [04:17] o-brown_: you'll do better in #apache or #gpl if it exists [04:17] can anybody tell me, what is this bug/flaw? [04:18] vmchaz: there's a number of things scheduled to run every 10 minutes, but I'd expect it's the kernel memory scan that's doing it. Normal. [04:19] vmchaz: unless you're loosing seconds/day to the wts there's nothing to worry about eh [04:19] . [04:19] -Doyle-, I'll try to explain [04:21] -Doyle-, it's slowing for a tiny bit of second every second (my english is too bad...) [04:21] for example [04:21] Doyle: unfortunately the site doesn't reference a Mobility Readon M7 (7500).. when you choose "other" it provides links to mfgr. sites.. I may just have to stick with the stock choice.. Is there a cli command to figure out what driver is being used?

[04:25] Hi guys. Is it posible to configure ubuntu to run on a cluster of standard PCs, and still run normal software? [04:25] izinucs: looks like lots of people have that problem with the m7. just a sec [04:25] have any one tested e17 in ubuntu? It's so stylish and working fine except the module ecomorph, which is the compiz style activator, please Help [04:26] Anyone here know how I would get Ubuntu 10.04 to support Japanese input? Somewhat like a romaji-to-japanese conversion? [04:27] scim I think [04:27] i use it for Chinese input [04:27] Is this a hardware problem? (If so, I'll just change my MB, but, why it is not appears under ubuntu 7.10?) Or is this software, for example, acpi issue? (But, on my notebook ubuntu 10.04 is installed too, and there is no issues with RTC). [04:27] I don't think there's much difference, kanji romji [04:27] izinucs: fglrx might work for you. Uninstall the other ati and radeon related drivers first to avoid trouble [04:27] Sorry if this is offtopic here. [04:27] I've heard that, but there's no documentation for 10.04. Do I just use the documentation from the latest release? [04:27] Doyle: k.. were you looking at a link? if so care to share? [04:27] KGF2009: that I'm not sure [04:28] littlebearz, this is what I'm looking at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JapaneseInput [04:28] Hi guys. Is it posible to configure ubuntu to run on a cluster of standard PCs, and still run normal software? Just a point in the right direction is all I'm looking for. :) [04:28] izinucs: It's fireGL graphics, I think it'll be close enough to run the 7500... been a while since I used a radeon so I'm not 100% on the archetecture compatibility, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't get 1280 of it. [04:29] Doyle: ok.. I'll look into it.. thanks for the help. [04:29] vmchaz: over the course of a day, how much time are you loosing? [04:29] hi [04:29] izinucs: np. Just type 'fglrx' in the synaptic package manager [04:29] !topic [04:29] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [04:30] type sudo apt-get install [04:30] in terminal , its better === Hojjat is now known as Huji [04:30] then do an update sudo apt-get update [04:30] Exploiter: why is it better?

[04:31] Anyone know virtual box? [04:32] vmchaz: Check the time now. Tomorrow at this time, check it again. Note the difference. You'll probably find it's correcting its self at some point. [04:32] VSD20C: do they have an irc channel? [04:32] !anyone | VSD20C [04:32] VSD20C: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:33] VSD20C, just FYI but VirtualBox's IRC channel is #vbox [04:33] yeah... im ignorant [04:33] yes, if you have question just type here in detail [04:33] hi all. how do I get compiz to turn on compositing so I can use docky??? [04:34] -Doyle-, OK. (but, I did it already. I think, RTC at ntp.ubuntu.com is quite precise?) [04:34] i attempted over there and no help [04:34] VSD20C, you can ask here (if it's ubuntu related) [04:34] lol, 'yes' he says [04:34] detrix: try sudo apt-get install compiz [04:34] when its done, compiz --replace [04:34] Im trying to change output of a ubuntu i know its a vbox question [04:34] ubuntu image [04:34] what output? [04:34] video resolution [04:35] Exploiter, I have compiz installed, some program turned of compositing, but docky needs it turned on. [04:35] VSD20C, have you installed the Guest Additions? [04:35] hi guys, i have to interfaces in my box, eth0 wan, eth1 lan, eth0 gets the dns directly from the isp, eth1 has ip address 192.168.0.1 how can i do so my host in the lan can point its dns to 192.168.0.1 and it resolves automatically to the eth0 dns [04:35] negative.... ill do that [04:35] vmchaz: precise as a computer [04:36] vsd as i know in vmware there are additional packages after you install it in in virtual emulator to make it lookk better [04:36] but do install graphic driver [04:36] to increase the resolution.. [04:36] vmchaz: system time is usually run by the cmos battery, maybe the servers battery is running down. It won't be low enough to alarm, but a few seconds won't cause issues. [04:36] istevenmon: you need to run a local DNS forwarder [04:37] daftykins: any link on how to do this? wouldnt playing with the resolv.conf handle this? [04:37] not that i know of [04:37] hello [04:37] istevenmon: yes, adding 'nameserver IPHERE' would do fine, if you're using nm-applet you can also add it there. [04:37] next question: I have an AMD Athlon II x2 - how do I get conky to read the cpu temp? [04:38] VSD20C: resolution? try this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300968 [04:38] bastidrazor: any other box can ask it for DNS lookups fine, but it's not going to give any out until it's running something like BIND forwarding? :) [04:38] im trying to setup a file server for a bunch of windows computers and I'm going to use samba [04:38] samba? [04:38] is there a different/ better program out there for this purpose? [04:39] dstryr: I would use ftp, but that's just me [04:39] dstryr: been there, done that, nope it's easy get learning :D [04:39] -Doyle-, I know that. If you're busy, I dont want to take your time. But if you interested, I can write detailed measurements I performed. [04:39] why ftp over samba? [04:39] dstryr: more control on the user logs [04:39] littlebearz, can you explain more? [04:39] its going to be local...not connected to the net [04:39] dstryr: well, samba doesn't support external SSL [04:40] detrix, the relevant line from my conkyrc (customize to taste) is ${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=9} ${upspeed eth0}${font}${goto 768}CPU: ${goto 868}${execi 4 sensors | grep -A 0 'CPU Temperature' | cut -c21-24} ºC${goto 1024}${time %H:%M} ${time %d/%m/%Y} [04:40] dstryr: oh nvm [04:40] has to be secure [04:40] istevenmon: is there a reason why you want the clients to not just go to the ISPs DNS directly? [04:40] vmchaz: nope, unless it's causing problems just let it ride. Don't poke the hornets nest. [04:40] basically i need to keep all my files on the server and nothing on the windows computers [04:41] -Doyle-, thanks. [04:41] so that all the files are shared for a project my team is working on [04:41] dstryr: well, if you want simplicity then ftp is good, if you want security, ilitthen samba is good with compatibilty [04:41] dstryr: SVN? [04:41] daftykins: yes because i switch isp very often and i dont wanna reconfigure it all the time [04:41] ZykoticK9, thanks very much [04:41] I have a strange issue with the interface locking up for periods of time in Meerkat. I can get things going again by tapping keys, or fiddling with the touchpad... but the lockup comes back after a while. CPU usage seems to go up. Lucid worked fine (except without audio) on this laptop. [04:41] istevenmon: use OpenDNS or google DNS then :) [04:41] Is this an issue anyone knows about? [04:42] !maverick [04:42] Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:42] pav5088: #ubuntu+1 please [04:42] littlebearz, what do you mean svn? [04:43] package knowsn as subsversion [04:43] daftykins: possibly i misread the question, i didn't see that he wanted multiple boxes using the dns. i use unbound for my local dns server. does well too [04:43] dstryr: subversion is version control, something that is extremely useful when working on a code project [04:43] bastidrazor: cool :) sorry to second-guess you, i was a tad confused was all [04:44] its not a code project [04:44] its basically a bunch of .pdf and .dxf [04:44] This may be the wrong place to ask this, but I figured I would give it a shot. I am wanting to learn a programming language well and one that will give me crossover knowledge to lots of platforms. I am obviously wanting to start in Linux (ubuntu), but also want to have a good base for programming on Android devices. Does anyone recommend a language to start with? Is C or Java the best place to start? Also, is there a good web source withou [04:44] t having to buy lots of expensive books that I can learn quite a bit? [04:44] try ebooks :) [04:45] x0rs: apparently a java base knowledge is good for Android, but you might be better off just getting started and following a beginner's book [04:45] littlebearz, can we talk in pm? you seem knowledgeable [04:45] dstryr: the whole point of help channels is it can help more than 1:1 at once :) [04:46] daftykins, its just hard to keep up [04:46] channel moves so quickly :p [04:46] x0rs: Java is what Android uses, there is an Android SDK plugin for Eclipse to to make it easier too [04:46] I wonder if FTP would work better for what I'm trying to do [04:46] you guys have me questioning now [04:46] lol [04:46] what is it you want to do, anyway? [04:47] i have 10 windows computers with people working on a project in my building [04:47] i want all the files store on the network file server (that im trying to configure) [04:47] ive gott samba set up now [04:47] tensorpudding and daftykins, I actually didn't know Java was what was used on Android. That's good news. Is Java used a lot on linux machines? Or is it mainly for web based applications? [04:47] x0rs: Java is an okay language to learn from, there are metric tons of books out there for it, and Sun has several tutorials too [04:47] can anyone tell me why i can't play DVD's with vlc? [04:48] daftykins: no worries, i think i second guessed you first :p [04:48] x0rs: Java used to be use for web applets, but I wouldn't say it's common as a web language [04:48] tensorpudding, do you have another that you would recommend over it? [04:48] if i made it an ftp server, the windows computers would have to get an ftp client? it wouldnt be like samba where they just click and open the folder right? [04:48] bastidrazor: haha you can tell it's late here XD i didn't notice that. g'night o/ [04:48] tensorpudding--or anyone--are there a lot of well known ubuntu applications that are written in java? [04:49] dstryr: Samba would make sense, you can have password-authentication and it's more convenient and modern than FTP [04:49] x0rs, eclipse, maybe? [04:49] x0rs: Eclipse is a powerful development tool for Java as well as other languages. [04:50] tensorpudding, i have it running now...how familiar are you with windows? [04:50] But Java isn't traditionally used much in Ubuntu [04:50] !help [04:50] 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. :-) [04:50] tensorpudding, is it like a gui developing environment? i've never heard of it, [04:50] Mostly because there were no powerful open-source javas [04:50] hello. if i install 10.04 from an older copy and then proceed to upgrade it, will it end up at 10.10 (kernel/packages/libs) ? [04:50] dstryr: I set up an authentical Samba share once a while ago, but I forgot. [04:51] tensorpudding, i need to configure windows to drop the user name and password when i close the shared folder so that I can login with a different user name wihtout having to log off the computer [04:51] im just installed !#chrashbang can i put Icons on the desktop ( ie windows style)? [04:51] ive asked in the windows room and noone knows [04:51] i know windows very well what u need [04:51] erik__, i need to configure windows to drop the user name and password when i close the shared folder so that I can login with a different user name wihtout having to log off the computer [04:51] x0rs: A graphical development tool? I'm not sure what you mean. [04:52] ive spent like 2 hours on google and in the windows irc [04:52] nothing [04:52] tensorpudding, sorry, I was really just curious what Eclipse was... I don't use it and am not aware of it [04:52] windows key and "L" will let you switch users while keeping another logged in also [04:52] dstryr: switch user? like fast switching [04:53] dstryr: can you do \\username@server\share ? [04:53] littlebearz: no, he wants to change his network credentials, not his local user [04:53] i use it as im the only admin out of 4 users [04:53] Random832, exactly [04:53] does the syntax i mentioned work? [04:53] i don't remember if it does [04:53] let me check [04:53] x0rs: It's like a text editor, but with a lot of plugins, tools, and gadgets. It's comparable to Microsoft's Visual Studio or Apple's XCode [04:54] you could always map it as a network drive with the net use command, i think that lets you explicitly specify credentials [04:54] tensorpudding, Oh, gotcha! Like Scite? that's what I use... [04:54] Random832, could you explain that a bit more? [04:54] C:\> net help use [04:54] [GNOME] Applications > System Tools > System Profiler and Benchmark > (System Information) > Information > Network Updater: "Synchronize with Central Database". Who does operate this »Hardinfo central database«? Where is it located? [04:54] x0rs: it's a lot more featureful than scite [04:54] tensorpudding, excellent. I'll definitely give it a shot [04:54] http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/net_use.mspx?mfr=true [04:54] x0rs: but that's the basic idea [04:54] tensorpudding, thanks [04:55] is there any way to put icons ( like Firefox short cut) on the desktop in crashbang?\ [04:55] erik__: it's called crunchbang, for one thing [04:55] hi all [04:55] hi [04:55] Im looking for the arp package [04:55] and i don't think so in the default esktop nnvironment ie has [04:55] need it for networking [04:55] yeah just noticed i misstyped sorry [04:56] gah i can't type [04:56] can anybody help?. [04:56] Random832, i see these commands [04:56] is there a tool which will allow me to drag an area of the current screen with my mouse, take a screenshop of the dragged area and automatically upload the screenshot to a server to be viewable on the web? [04:56] id have to enter them everytime? [04:56] or create like an executive file? [04:56] dstryr: you know what mapping a network drive is right? [04:56] negative [04:56] lol [04:56] im a noob [04:56] it means you can take a network share and make it like te Z: drive [04:56] I've been wondering... I recently installed the whole Kubuntu desktop, and let kdm to do the user login process. How can I change it back to gdm? [04:57] Ah [04:57] HaPK_PerCar: i think dpkg-reconfigure gdm can do it [04:57] How would I do that? [04:57] dstryr: with the command i linked to [04:57] sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [04:57] how can I find out what files exist inside a package (trying to track down a library) [04:58] Random832, does it stay like that after the net command? [04:58] networking drives under windows is point and click...no need for copmmand lines [04:58] or do you have to do it after every login [04:58] Random832, kevdog, I'll try that [04:58] great [04:58] dstryr: what vers of windows u using [04:58] dstryr: until you log out at least [04:59] weee, it works! [04:59] thanks peple [04:59] also, other thing I was wondering... how can I connect 2 ubuntu-running machines in a single network? [05:00] xp, vista, and 7 [05:00] =/ [05:00] there's a /persistent:yes option to make it stay - read the manual i linked [05:00] HaPK_PerCar: Set your environment variable DESKTOP_SESSION to gnome [05:00] is there a tool which will allow me to drag an area of the current screen with my mouse, take a screenshop of the dragged area and automatically upload the screenshot to a server to be viewable on the web? [05:00] geoffmcc: if win7 right click on computer in the start menu and u will see map network drive --- if xp go to my computer and u will see it there [05:00] dstryr: see my last- i referenced me instead of u so it didnt pop out at ya [05:00] I can connect and see one running linux and anotherone with windows, but not both on ubuntu [05:00] geoffmcc, yeah i saw...looking now [05:00] squigle: Use Synaptic. Highlight the package name. Press Properties > Files installed. [05:01] dstryr: not sure about the way other person told u - but if do this way there is a reconnect at logon option so it will always map for you [05:01] geoffmcc, sweet i got it [05:01] thank you [05:01] dstryr: no prob [05:01] okay next dumb question [05:02] im using a dell poweredge 1850 server for this file server...it has 2 drives that can be setup as raid [05:02] to make linux raid do i have to reinstall the operating sytem? [05:03] you want software raid -- and what raid level? [05:03] raid is where the same thing is copied on both hard drives so if one hard drive goes down the other drive has the data stored on it right? [05:03] I have been experiencing an issue with configuring my Screenlets to show a different message on startup. I've changed what I thought was the code located in /usr/share/screenlets-manager/WidgetScreenlet.py . I changed the message to what I wanted, but the Screenlet still displays the original message "Internet connection is required to use this Screenlet" [05:04] dstryr: check out this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid [05:04] how can I connect, or rather share folders, with 2 machines running ubuntu in a network? [05:04] dstryr: within the wiki there a link for more detailed instructions [05:04] well there are different raid implementations -- also known as raid levels [05:05] kevdog, which level would i need? based on the stuff i described? [05:05] I'm going to restart again to check what I get for the startup msg... [05:05] i have 2 hard drives that i want to mirror each other in case of a crash on one [05:05] How do i send a pm [05:05] dstryr, from what you said you seem to want a raid0 [05:05] Do want to mirror or stripe?? How many drives? [05:06] what is stripe? [05:06] probally mirror and 2 drives [05:06] not to be rude -- but google is your friend [05:06] Why, if GCC 4.4.4 is the most recent version, ubuntu 10.10 delete it and other stuff too? [05:06] mirror = raid0 [05:06] What gcc is installed then? [05:06] dstryr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [05:07] please... [05:07] how can I connect, or rather share folders, with 2 machines running ubuntu in a network? [05:07] I do not know, i just know that in synaptic, a lot of stuff is uninstalled [05:07] Honestly Id do a hardware RAID implementation rather than software -- but that is my two cents [05:07] HaPK_PerCar: use samba or ftp or ssh or scp [05:07] or nfs [05:07] HaPK_PerCar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba?action=show&redirect=SettingUpSamba [05:07] And they say i need that to run Blender and some OpenGl renderer [05:08] littlebearz, samba doesn't seems to work.. or maybe I've been using it wrong [05:08] kevdog: agreed due to hardware controller redundancy [05:08] I only use samba if wanting to implement windows machines [05:08] hardware is faster [05:08] kevdog, bascially if i want hardware raid i have to reinstall ubuntu [05:09] With hardware raid you need a raid hardware controller card -- do you have this? [05:09] i have intel card...how do I enable direct rndering?? [05:09] kevdog: agree, only downside to hardware RAID tends to be cost. [05:09] kevdog, i should have hardware raid [05:09] HaPK_PerCar: Places > Connect to Server > Method SSH > add a bookmark for this and then you can go to places in the future and click to mount the folder. then you can drag/drop files/folders [05:10] I guess it depends how much you value your data!! [05:10] kevdog it is a dell poweredge 1850 server [05:10] kevdog rofl [05:10] with raid controller [05:10] Need to make sure your raid controller has a linux driver [05:10] HaPK_PerCar: bastidrazor got it nicely laid out [05:11] how can I do a error araise when gdm call gnome ? [05:11] bastidrazor, how would I fill in the fields? [05:11] HaPK_PerCar: you may need to install openssh-server on both boxes before this method will work. [05:11] sorry, I'm kinda new at this [05:12] tron: Install the loadable kernel module »drm«. [05:12] Hello. what would run faster on my computer, Ubuntu 10.10 or Xubuntu 10.10? My specs are 750 Mhz Duron CPU, 890 MB RAM, 30 GB hard drive & 8 MB Nvidia graphics. [05:12] !maverick | Guest59613 [05:12] Guest59613: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [05:12] Guest59613, how i do that? [05:12] HaPK_PerCar: they are straight forward. [05:12] bullgard4, how i do that [05:13] bastidrazor, ok, shall look into that then [05:13] bastidrazor, thanks! [05:13] openssh is great -- but if you don't need encryption then you don't need the overhead cost [05:13] Guest59613: I would recommend PuppyLinux with that spec [05:13] how can I do while a error raise when gdm call gnome ? [05:14] bullgard4, in synaptic I have already installed libdrm and related files [05:14] what is the equivalent of %appdata% in linux? [05:14] Hydrozii: /etc/ [05:14] littlebearz: I like Ubuntu and so I only want an *butnu distro. [05:14] or just run a different graphical shell like openbox or enlightenment (which is my current favorite)!! [05:14] ty [05:14] Guest59613: then xubuntu [05:14] tron: First check '~$ lsmod | grep drm'. [05:15] im looking for sandboxie for linux [05:15] kevdog: I liked openbox, never tried enlightenment [05:15] L0LI: sandboxie? [05:15] is there anything like that [05:15] enlightenment is great [05:15] IMO [05:15] L0LI: I guess prehaps u meant shell account? [05:15] yeah, sandboxie is great little virtualization app on windows [05:15] no [05:15] I use VMware [05:15] i don't need a full blown vm [05:16] hm [05:16] enlightenment: http://www.enlightenment.org/ [05:16] i just need to contain all writes done by one 1 program [05:16] where can i find the minecraft save information? [05:16] on my computer? [05:16] bullgard4, ok done. The output is: drm_kms_helper 30200 1 i915 [05:16] drm 168054 6 i915,drm_kms_helper [05:16] agpgart 32011 2 drm,intel_agp [05:16] and then have all of it deleted when i delete the sandbox [05:16] There is a tutorial in the Tuts and tips section in the forums how to install enlightenment [05:17] http://www.sandboxie.com/ [05:17] Guest59613: how much faster would it be then regular Ubuntu? [05:17] Question to yourself [05:17] littlebearz: how much faster would it be then regular Ubuntu? [05:17] Guest59613 If you want a more resource-conscious version of Ubuntu may want to consider Netbook Remix [05:18] rusivi: even on a desktop? [05:19] Guest59613: it's xde based rather than gnome based [05:19] Guest59613 Worth a look -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Minimal%20installations [05:19] Hi :) [05:20] what's a good way to get a script to run in a loop endlessly? [05:20] rusivi: Is Netbook Remix the same as netbook edition? [05:20] somebody can help me. how to repack from xubuntu 10.04 to kubuntu? [05:20] Aemaeth: while [ true]; do run_this_forever; done [05:21] rusivi: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download [05:22] Guest59613: yes. Edition is the new name, Remix is the old name. [05:22] wonderful, can i make one script launch two simultaneous executions? [05:22] rww: ty [05:22] Guest59613: the Netbook versions aren't particularly different resource-wise from the Desktop versions, though. [05:23] Aemaeth: Run separate terminals? [05:23] yes, instead of me opening two windows? [05:23] Use terminal tabs? [05:23] tron: So your loadable kernel module »drm« is loaded. You do not worry about this basic requirement. [05:23] rww: so I would be just as good as to install Xubuntu then? would it be much faster then Ubuntu? [05:23] well, i'm in byobu, so it would be ctrl-a-2 [05:24] Guest59613: Depends on who you ask. [05:24] bullgard4, ahh...thanks...but is there a command or something like that...i want to enable dr on friends laptop [05:24] Personally, Xubuntu was a little less resource-intensive than Ubuntu, but something like openbox was better. [05:24] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_massacre [05:25] !ot [05:25] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:25] rww: okay thanks [05:25] Guest59613: like I said, xubuntu is a bit easier on the CPU, but for better u need to either get a smaller WM or a smaller system like PuppyLinux [05:27] tron: Usually, if drm is loaded, the computer is using Direct Rendering. Do you have reason to believe that this is not the case? Please provide an error message about that fact. === adante_ is now known as adante [05:28] bullgard4, mty friend have a software hardinfo from the repo...it says no direct rendering... [05:29] tron: Do you speak about the results of the »hardinfo« program? What does it say? [05:30] bullgard4, yes, it says no direct rendering [05:30] tron: Please state the exact hierarchy of the hardinfo output text. [05:30] littlebearz: well I am running the full Ubuntu right now and it's not too bad, a little slow but not to bad. Something just a little faster would be nice, but I don't need to go as far as Puppy. BTW, is puppy debian-based or redhat-based? [05:31] Guest59613, run in text mode [05:31] hello [05:32] anyone here [05:32] ? [05:32] no [05:32] Aemaeth: haha no thank you. [05:32] ok [05:32] lol [05:32] Guest59613, links2 is way better than chrome [05:32] i agree with Aemaeth [05:32] can someone else my plz i need to comment to a frens computer remotly via linux the person have xp how do i do that [05:32] you can even get mouse support [05:32] of a sorts [05:32] Aemaeth Elinks is better, I feel [05:33] nicolaus: rdesktop [05:33] Aemaeth: what about picture/video support? [05:33] thanks littlebearz [05:33] is straight farword right [05:33] i've heard you can run stuff through the frame buffer, fbi [05:34] nicolaus: uh no, u have to get their IP and tell them to enable remote desktop, but it's a bit unsafe === m00se is now known as hateballs_lil_br [05:35] better be xp pro === hateballs_lil_br is now known as m00se === m00se is now known as hateballsLilBro [05:35] l === khan is now known as bit_0 [05:35] nicolaus: try team viewer - get your friend to install one and you do the same - it doesnt care about nat routers === hateballsLilBro is now known as m00se [05:35] nicolaus try teamviewer [05:36] works [05:36] billy: but that's very unsecure lol, I wouldn't do that since it give teamviewer 3rd party your information [05:37] littlebearz: rubbish [05:37] billy: it's safer to use SSH make a tunnel and connect it locally and do VNC or something [05:37] if no remote desktop program on windows end, would do vnc [05:38] littlebearz: you want to set up through nat routerrs etc? [05:38] littlebearz: have you actually done this? [05:38] yup [05:39] billy: it's pain in the arse, but it works [05:39] littlebearz: you must like hard work [05:39] billy: or I would just do rdesktop littlebearz.com -a 1024x768 -r sound [05:39] wait I wrote that wrong [05:39] man rdesktop [05:39] billy: or I would just do rdesktop littlebearz.com -g 1024x768 -r sound -a 24 [05:40] littlebearz: congrats - you have a fixed ip - most people dont [05:40] billy: no, it's static [05:40] no-ip.com [05:40] billy: I meant dynamic [05:40] and many others... [05:40] littlebearz: static = fixed [05:40] I have a DNS, so I update that to reflect my ip [05:41] littlebearz: most people dont [05:41] can have it check your ip as much as you want really [05:41] billy: that's why they use no-ip or dyndns [05:41] heck, I could make billy.littlebearz.com point to your IP [05:41] no-ip has linux deb for updates, runs a tiny daemon [05:42] littlebearz: what's my ip? [05:42] 58.111.71.192 [05:42] which I've done so, in 5 minutes the subdomain is online [05:43] d58-111-71-192. [05:43] littlebearz: try pinging it [05:43] how do i install team view with terminal [05:43] how do i put gkrellm on top or bottom flat like a panel? [05:43] i thought he was going to his friend, how does he rdesktop to himself? [05:43] sudo apt-get install then? [05:43] i think i've done that and it just black screens [05:44] nicolaus, alternativeto.net [05:44] littlebearz: how did you get my ip? [05:44] billy: um whois? [05:44] asskum [05:44] billy, /whois billy [05:45] so who here would recommend switching from 10.04 to 10.10 when it comes out? [05:45] you can whois mine, and ping mine and connect via http to my ip address and all works lol [05:45] any true benefits?? [05:46] littlebearz: is this someway available in your chat client? [05:46] i'm switching when it comes out, benefits, support [05:46] billy: uh, most of irc client has it [05:46] i dare say all irc clients [05:47] littlebearz: looks like xchat doesn't [05:47] Aemaeth: that's not true, some aren't [05:47] Is there a way to limit my throughput? [05:47] oh billy [05:47] well, if you ever need a static subdomain you could always use mine littlebearz.com for free [05:48] how do i put gkrellm on top or bottom flat like a panel? [05:48] littlebearz: did you get ping my ip? [05:48] but I do say that Austrillia has horrible internet [05:48] can i run my illegal traffic through littlebearz.com? [05:48] yeah, it timed out [05:48] littlebearz: tell me about it [05:48] say for instance I get on average, 400MB/sec... is there some app or a trick of some sort to only allow like half of that to certain applications? [05:48] Aemaeth: that depends, as long as you obey canadian law I'm okey with it [05:49] littlebearz: good - i'm behind a nat router [05:49] i'll say whatever it takes to upload to your webserver [05:49] Aemaeth: good luck finding the upload place lol [05:49] i thought this was business arrangement [05:50] well, actually no, it's quite easy, just goto https://user:password@littlebearz.com/school/UPLOAD/ [05:52] i hear in canada milk comes in bags [05:52] yup [05:52] nder [05:52] I think it's $4.99 for 4L [05:52] and 1.33L per bag === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [05:52] with one big bag to hold the 3 small bags [05:52] amazing [05:53] that eco friendly with all that plastic? [05:53] it's really tasty and we're so used to it [05:53] well, it's better than jugs right [05:53] I believe we recycle 30% of our stuff, so it's pretty good [05:54] paper seems more sustainable, trees grow regularly [05:54] hello everyone, i have a quick question. Is there a way to control cpu fan speed in linux? mine is running the highest rpm it can all the time (never slows down after boot up) [05:55] Aemaeth: I thought sustainable means when it can grow within a human lifespan, and trees don't [05:55] andriy: um. there are tools, try googling first [05:55] I've read the Ubuntu 10.10 only supports i686 or higher, does that mean it's slower on older hardware? [05:55] there are paper-farms man [05:55] how do i put gkrellm on top or bottom flat like a panel? [05:55] Peter55: that means it doesn't even work on older hardware [05:55] Aemaeth: well, I'm not a man lol [05:55] littlebearz, i did, but nothing decent came up :( [05:55] if you've never planted a tree, i've got some news for you! [05:55] andriy: I'll try [05:56] hi [05:56] once/exit [05:56] so tree's grow in less than 10 years ? [05:56] blakkheim: i'm talking about Pentium 3 hardware, is it slower than previous versions on P3 hardware? [05:56] Peter55: no [05:56] btw, is there a shortcut for pasting someone's name before your message/ [05:56] http://www.waltercedric.com/component/content/article/193-technical/1481-setting-the-cpu-speed-of-your-linux-server.html [05:57] andriy: use tabbing feature, most irc client has it [05:57] blakkheim: are you sure? [05:57] Peter55: if it's an i686 cpu it will run faster, if it's lower than i686 it won't run at all [05:57] does xchat on xubuntu have it? [05:57] oh and thanks for the link [05:58] andriy: um. I think so, just type the first couple of letters and press tab to autocomplete [05:58] where do you think they get book paper then?, houses, wood comes from a place you know [05:58] Aemaeth: well, it fell out of the sky [05:58] blakkheim: really? So 10.10 will run faster than 10.04 on i686 hardware? [05:58] Peter55: yes [05:59] littlebearz, sweet, it works! thanks :) [05:59] andriy: http://www.google.ca/search?q=throttle+cpu+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [05:59] hi [06:00] hi [06:00] littlebearz, i was talking about CPU FAN speed, not cpu itself :P the cpu is already overclocked [06:00] blakkheim: okay, thanks a ton! [06:00] i thing that chanel is in ispanish [06:02] andriy: ah , um. you could control the voltage output to the fan, but I donno if that slows it down [06:03] andriy: the whole point of CPU fan is to reduce heat from the CPU, if u underclock it, then it won't spin as much [06:03] I've just set up ubuntu server 10.04, and it doesn't seem to be able to connect to my router (much less the internet). What can I do to diagnose the problem? [06:03] lncln: see if the ethernet cable is plugged in [06:04] littlebearz, how would i do that? I couldnt do anything else in bios :( (thanks for helping me!) [06:04] littlebearz: yes... maybe that was sarcasm, though.. [06:04] lncln: you'll be surprised, I had very frustrating moments when I didn't plug it in properly [06:04] littlebearz, the cpu is running cool, but the fan is still 100% power [06:04] littlebearz: haha, okay maybe... [06:04] andriy: that I really am not familiar with as I don't temper with my warantee [06:05] hello [06:05] lncln: um. then release and renew your ip [06:05] littlebearz, alright, thanks for helping anyway [06:05] lncln: see if you're router is distribuing DHCP [06:05] i break that sticker as soon as i get something [06:05] I'm having a problem where an external usb hard drive randomly disappears. Can anyone help? [06:05] lncln: i think it's ifconfig for wired connection, iwconfig for wireless configuration [06:06] rementis: see if the port is plugged in properly [06:06] plugged in properly, worked awesome before upgrade to 10.04 [06:06] rementis: oh then downgrade it lol [06:07] Is there some way to temporarily lock your throughput rate? [06:07] hello [06:07] i'm running ubuntu server 10.04. is there any way for me to check if power management is disconnecting my usb drive? [06:07] littlebearz: yeah, that's the problem. It didn't "see" the DHCP from my router... let me see though... [06:07] some prgram like centennial for linux? [06:08] hi [06:08] songer: I thought centennial is a college [06:08] I was wondering if there is anyone maintaining d4x download manager right now [06:08] since it is included in the ubuntu repos but it's homepage seems to have disappeared [06:09] that's is a school [06:09] argh - just had apt-get hang on me when while dpkg was running. C-c got me nothing so I killed the parent terminal & the apt-get & dpkg process. however, since they never finished, the lock never got removed. is it safe to just delete it? [06:09] does anyone know how to turn off power management for usb devices in ubuntu server 10.04? [06:09] How can i get a list of groups inside of terminal? [06:10] cat /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1 [06:10] cat /etc/group |cut -d: -f1 [06:11] night [06:11] also how do i scroll up while using ubuntu in CLI mode? [06:12] depends what cli you have open [06:12] thre's nothing like centennial for linux? [06:12] songer: that's a popular software? if it's popular then maybe someone could port it or wine works [06:13] dborba "alt+ctrl+f1" === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [06:15] fusion_, i don't think that's scrollable [06:16] fusion_, just pipe your output into less if you want to scroll through it [06:16] fusion_: use screen with a large scrollback value [06:16] “screen” as in “GNU Screen” [06:16] ^^ that works too [06:17] you can also detach it and pull it back up on X and vice-versa :) [06:17] sedulous: i'm in ubuntu "CLI" mode (ctrl+alt+f1) [06:17] fusion_, man screen [06:17] fusion_: yes. “screen” provides an arbitrarily large scrollback buffer in text terminals [06:18] let me try this one again - any1 around know if it's safe to manually delete the lock for apt-get & dpkg if they hang? [06:19] I'd like to know which line is it by number when I cat it out the file. How do I do that? [06:20] man cat [06:20] ah.. -n [06:20] thanks [06:21] dborba: there should be a woman cat [06:21] should have look up first before ask.. [06:21] :) [06:21] dfcnvt, if it seems useful, it's probably built in [06:21] howdy [06:22] sedulous: what key should i press in the keyboard to scroll up? [06:22] when using vi editor, how do I jump to a line by number? [06:22] in screen [06:22] I opened in manual.. but seems hard to find info for that... [06:22] is us.archive.ubuntu.com down?

Use it to find guides [06:49] thankyou, I have a read [06:49] UbuntuNoob: You don't need to open the ISO for that, you need to burn it to a DVD. [06:49] UbuntuNoob, you can't really do that from inside linux as far as I know. you gotta burn that dvd but [06:49] Does Ubuntu provide some kind of generic desktop notification, some dbus thing? e.g. let's say I want to monitor subversion commits - or for example certain types of events on my server station and let's assume i've made these scripts already. How would they be able to notify me without caring about UI-stuff? [06:49] UbuntuNoob, bud* [06:49] BuzzAttack: you may find connecting to a wired connection and upgrading greatly beneficial [06:49] alright well i cant write it to a disk because the file is too big [06:49] How big?

I believe the default is to leave windows and install ubuntu alongside it. [06:55] dugger5688: it used to have windows and it got a pretty bad virus so i had t wipe it and because i didnt have the install disk, i installed ubuntu for free [06:56] dugger5688, I think you're right - but if you have the whole drive with a single partition I wouldn't trust a resize... resizing a boot ntfs partition is always risky [06:56] UbuntuNoob: You may have better luck with Ubuntu 10.10 which will be released Sunday.

[07:03] i just installed an app from a daily build repo, it has extra packages but they wont install saying they are dependent on the regular build (not the pre-release builds) [07:03] how do i get around that [07:03] or cant you [07:04] yeah my computer just did it again [07:04] mesees, whatever you do with your computer :) [07:04] look at porn [07:04] all of my windows are square and with "sharp corners" and none of them have the option to close or minimize or maximize and i cant switch windows [07:04] dborba, seems so easy doesnt it :) [07:05] when does 10.10 come out anyway [07:05] a week?

[07:06] and is it better to do a clean install of 10.10 or is upgrading from 10.04 fine in ubuntu without any issues [07:06] dborba, i have not [07:06] one thing i love in ubuntu with compiz is the cube for desktop switching [07:07] and desktop switching in general [07:07] one question i did have, does the eye candy (changing theme, fonts, etc) bog down ubuntu at all like it does windows? [07:07] anyone know why or what i can do [07:07] ive been using ubuntu for a little while now and when i have to boot into windows for something im amazed how slow everything is [07:08] UbuntuNoob: is that a persistent problem? otherwise try to reboot or change the theme... [07:09] nicofs: yes it happens every time i boot up and usually when watching a video or something that requires a lot of usage [07:09] mesees, if your computer is not powerful enough to handle all the graphical stuff then yes. IE: if you're on a netbook (no video card) and you turn all the effects on it will probably freeze [07:10] dborba: systems won't post without a video card dude [07:11] ActionParsnip, you know what i mean... just makes the answer a bit easier :P. if you max out compiz with crappy on board graphics things ain't gonna go well [07:11] UbuntuNoob: did you configure your display?

[07:33] there is a program called btrfs-convert, it can go from ext4 to btrfs [07:33] but before you do that, make sure that your /boot change works [07:33] and that you really boot from the new /boot [07:33] magnetron: It's owned by root :( [07:34] yeh, I'll give it a try, thx ahox [07:34] Magnetron: I guess because the init.d script is the only thing that needs to access it... [07:34] paddymelon: um what? [07:34] so - how do i kill a process when kill -9 doesnt work? [07:35] Magnetron: The owner of the apache2.conf file is root b/c the user who runs apache2 doesn't need to access the file... maybe I'll read through the init.d script [07:36] Thank God for Virtual Box, it makes Ubuntu and Xubuntu easier to install and use a wireless network [07:36] Anyone know which user runs apache2 by default? [07:37] please help: http://pastebin.com/K66mfrER [07:37] paddymelon, ps aux | grep apache2 [07:37] thanks, dborba!

[08:00] also, you'll have best luck to investigate what is available with the NetworkManager [08:00] genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory 'isolinux'! [08:00] :-( [08:00] i want to add password to flashgot for specific link parameter how should i do that? [08:01] lucent: Um, problem is not there. I think it is because Ubuntu never created a device in /dev for rfcomm [08:01] amin_: YOU PUT THOSE COOKIES DOWN [08:01] lucent: umm? [08:01] anyone know how to prevent ubuntu from creating so many tty's? i just want to create one, but since there is no /etc/inittab I don't know where to look [08:01] there is /etc/init and some tty2.conf files, I moved them out of the way but the tty's are still created [08:02] lucent: what you mean could you explain? [08:02] jonrafkind: tty's are controlled by ... to be honest I don't even know anymore with upstart [08:02] * lucent looks [08:02] google told me to look in /etc/event.d, but i dont have an event.d directory [08:02] so im completely lost [08:03] jonrafkind: you *should* have /etc/event.d [08:03] which distro? [08:03] karmic, i installed in a UML instance using debootstrap [08:04] jonrafkind: oh okay that's possible it lacks event.d [08:04] is event.d part of some package? [08:04] maybe i can jut install it [08:05] actually it seems that its UML itself thats creating the terminals, only terminal 1 actually has a tty in it [08:05] the others are completely blank, because i erased all the other tty*.conf files [08:06] sounds like that's problem solved, at least not Ubuntu related anymore ;) [08:06] morning guys and gals [08:06] johnathan, here it is noon [08:06] k here it is morning so sorry [08:07] hi all [08:07] Can I image an HD while the system is running? [08:08] ralnaemi: uh... are filesystems from the HD mounted? [08:08] hey guys, can any1 help me- I upgraded to 10.10 few days ago and it worked flawlessly (including suspend, resume,...). But yesterday I closed laptop's lid and when it was reopened, the screen stayed blank. Event after reboot neither the grub shows- after EFI, there is just black screen. Any idea how to fix it? :-S [08:08] trouble is data changing while you're copying from it, this could render bad output [08:08] FeBo: wow. does a liveCD boot? [08:09] lucent: yup, so does the other os (mac) === c0re is now known as nearst [08:09] FeBo: that's special. Might be a bug with ubiquity (splash screen) [08:09] Is there a way to get media players other than rhythmbox to appear in the Maverick sound menu? [08:09] hi [08:09] try 'nosplash' on the grub command line to kernel argument [08:09] if you don't know how to do that, well, do you know what I am talking about? [08:09] lucent: I don't see grub :-D neither shift doesn't help [08:10] oh. [08:10] FeBo: maybe your bootloader is just hosed [08:10] does grub check for suspend data before showing? I'm thinking suspend went wrong and it leaved some crap on HDD...any idea if there are any suspend files? [08:10] Grub would have to actually run and it would show you something on the screen before that [08:10] even if it's just a quick little line "press key for Grub menu" [08:11] ok, bootCD, chroot, grub :-) [08:11] yup yup. Good guess though [08:11] suspend data is actually passed as a kernel argument [08:11] not wholly accurate what I just said but that's the idea, it has to run Grub to get there first [08:12] hi people [08:12] aha, OK...well, rebooting into live, tnx :) [08:15] lucent, ah, /etc/default/console-setup, ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]" [08:15] yay, a winner is me!

[09:37] magnetron: ubuntu.com [09:37] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : i use Chrommium web browser [09:37] magnetron: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [09:38] aaah, chromium does not come bundled with flash so u need to run Exploiter_ s command [09:38] sudo apt-get install --reinstall chromium-browser [09:38] ddilinger: i see. what is your internet connection speed? [09:38] magnetron: 20Mbit [09:38] magnetron: so it should go up to >2MB, sabnzbd will do 1-2MB/s depending on how happy comcast is [09:39] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : i run Exploiter_ command, should i reboot system? [09:39] ddilinger: wait, comcast? you know they throttle bittorrent? [09:39] manfredrasta [09:39] nah [09:39] magnetron: but the max speed isn't what i'm so worried about, it annoys me that it climbs so slowly, like its slowly choosing connections [09:39] magnetron: hence why i use sabnzbd [09:39] its not windows.. [09:39] just relaunch the browser after u isntalled the nonfree plugin [09:40] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ :is the same [09:40] relauch chrome, also try open youtube with other webbrowser.. [09:40] magnetron: took 10 minutes to go from 10 peers to 80 [09:40] magnetron: should take 1 minute [09:40] ddilinger: since your ISP throttles bittorrent i suggest you download using the HTTP link instead [09:40] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ :dont have other webbrowser [09:40] magnetron: when already getting 850k/s ? [09:40] manfredrasta then purge chromium and get the dev channel chrome [09:40] ddilinger: yes [09:40] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : sudo apt-get install --reinstall chromium-browser?? [09:40] sudo apt-get install firefox [09:40] that one ships with flash builtin and works out of the box [09:40] ddilinger: your ISP is deliberately doing this to you [09:40] magnetron: awfully silly, comcast with non-parallel http is 100k/s [09:41] magnetron: you have to split the connection to get 2MB/s on http [09:41] err, split the download across multiple http connections [09:41] I note that my Comcast connection doesn't have throttled bittorrent. Huzzah for inconsistant application of policy. [09:41] !list [09:41] ddilinger: try rtorrent and see if you get any different result [09:42] I've got a problem with OpenOffice 3.2 constantly crashing on Ubuntu 10.04. I've tried removing and reinstalling java and open office, installing the oracle version to no avail. [09:42] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : so should I install firefox or purge chromium? [09:42] Can anyone help? [09:42] firefox recommended [09:42] manfredrasta up to you, either use firefox with the nonfree plugin or get chrome with flash builtin [09:42] both, if you don' have any other browser than chrome. [09:43] tuxifier he has chromium, not chrome, therefor no flash plugin that comes with the browser [09:43] funkyweasel: open openoffice with terminal and paste error here when you office crashes from terminal [09:44] exploiter_: Good call - sadly it should be easy to replicate. Nothing in syslog. [09:44] hi... i have installed ubuntu 10.10 and the max resolution that i can select is 1360x768.. is there a way i can make it 1280x1024? [09:44] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : shoould reboot after installation o firefox? [09:44] previously when i was on windows.. i was on that resolution.. :P [09:44] rick_: the ubuntu 10.10 release candidate is supported in #ubuntu+1 [09:45] funkyweasel open soffice with terminal to see the related logs direct in terminal [09:45] rick_: make sure you install your graphic card driver [09:45] manfredrasta u almsot enver need to reboot in linux [09:45] never* [09:45] just start firefox and see how it works manfredrasta [09:45] Votan, so? how do i star firefox? [09:45] applications>internet>firefox [09:45] :| [09:45] well.. im using an onboard graphics.. [09:45] votan/manfredrasta, chrome doesn't support flash for lubuntu. see: http://maketecheasier.com/enable-flash-support-in-google-chrome-in-ubuntu/2009/08/19 [09:46] rick: just install the graphic driver. [09:46] MappingNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0, request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248, I have to change this event how can I? [09:46] and google for editing xorg / x11 file for resolution [09:46] !maverick | Exploiter_ rick_ [09:46] Exploiter_, i dont have applications [09:46] Exploiter_ rick_: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:46] tuxifier that post is over a year old ;) [09:46] pksadiq: I don't think that's going to work - using oocalc, ooffice -calc, or soffice at the prompt opens the app but also returns a prompt ready for input - doesn't look like it'll output errors to the command line [09:47] funkyweasel :( [09:47] i remember several years ago i saw a friend using linux that would switch between workspaces using a 3dimensional cube that displayed what was on each workspace. anyone know a way to obtain that in gnome if at all? [09:47] Exploiter_, how do i see if the driver is auto detected ? [09:48] spuhkewzi: compiz is one, there are a dozen [09:48] tuxifier as a matter of fact i run the chrome dev channel right ehre on my netbook an can watch youtube, vimeo etc jsut fine without any additional flash plugin installed [09:48] system>administration>hardware drivers [09:48] spuhkewzi: i think gnome has one built in, either gnome or kde, probably both [09:48] Hi folks ;-) [09:48] ddilinger: compiz seems to be installed with 10.04, but running "compiz" doesn't seem to bring a configuration menu up, do you know of a way? [09:48] i should probably start googling at this point, thanks ddilinger [09:49] hey, is there a pdf viewer that allows more than 400% zoom? [09:49] !ccsm | spuhkewzi [09:49] spuhkewzi: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [09:49] spuhkewzi: i think compiz is a window manager, selected when you log in, but yea google :) [09:49] Exploiter_, there is additional drivers.. says none others installed [09:49] spudkewzi, you need to install compix setting manager to few its settings [09:49] thanks ubottu , thanks guys. [09:49] rick: install then all [09:50] pksadiq: It's ironic - OOo is completely stable on my windows box at home, but is the flakiest piece of crap I have used on my 10.04 box at work. [09:50] tes [09:51] funkyweasel I'm using it now with no problems, may be you haven't installed java or you might have used force-install somewhere === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [09:54] pksadiq: No force-install anywhere, java version "1.6.0_18" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8) (6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1), OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing) [09:54] votan: my humble experience tells me that the new chromium already has the flash. but that's just me :) so how's it going manfredrasta? [09:54] pksadiq: Also tried the often-recommended OOo profile reset [09:54] my laptop powered off while doing a standard upgrade [09:54] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : i rebooted an opened firefox [09:55] and now it doesnt come up , only allows me to go to maitenance shell , is there any fix from the maitenance shell [09:56] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ : but it is the same problem. I have a question. I installed the non-free dfrivers before installing firefox. Shouldnt i install them after? [09:56] hi [09:57] Stupid though it sounds, is there a 'right' java package to use with OOo? [09:57] funkyweasel, I personally like sun java but I rarely use openoffice [09:57] anyone can tell me how to fix if my computer powered off during upgrade ? [09:57] is there a dpkg command [09:58] to check consistency and repair etc [09:58] coz_ What do you use in it's place? [09:58] manfredrasta: firefox doesn't have flash pre-installed. you have to go to adobe.com to download and install it within firefox. [09:58] thevishy, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [09:58] thevishy: is there a dpkg error message? [09:58] funkyHat, koffice [09:58] funkyHat, and abbiword [09:58] no , but the boot says it cant find / [09:58] funkyHat, abbywork converts to ms office doc cleanly [09:58] funkyHat, openoffice does not [09:59] magnetron , all this happened when I was doing a upgrade and the laptop power went off [09:59] coz: Outstanding. I will give it a try. [09:59] thevishy: yes [09:59] thevishy: my question still stands [09:59] ever since I am not able to login , it just says that it cant find / [09:59] and takes me to maintainance shell [09:59] funkyHat, however if you install koffice onto ubuntu you will also pull down many kde libraries and dependencies [10:00] magnetron , so I suspect it has something to do with this upgrade getting broken , fsck showed its clean actually [10:00] funkyHat, I do this regularly now and really enjoy some kde applications on gonme ...you can also match the colours of your gnome theme with the kde applications if you also install systemsettings [10:00] hence I am looking for a command to check the package consistency and if there are problems then just check it and repair it by itself [10:00] thevishy: try mounting the root partition from the maintenance shell [10:00] hi all, i have an asus f3jp with 05e1:0501 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd DC-1125 Webcam, on ubuntu the quality is lower than windows, and a led one time it turns on never turns off until i turnoff\reboot my pc. Can you help me? [10:00] white macbook (3.1) ubuntu 10.04 trying dual monitor to tv tried creating an xorg.conf file / xinerama / xrandr config options / reinstall with monitor plugged in during install the only thing i get is a black and white mis-aligned jittery image on my tv .... am i encountering 3year old bug mentioned on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/116207 do i give up hope and go to sleep a [10:00] t 5am!!!!! thank you : ) [10:00] hey guys, any recommendations for a versioning backup tool in the repos? Basically I want incremental/versioned backups from my webserver over ftp [10:01] Votan, tuxifier , Exploiter_ :i have to leave. thanks for all. see you [10:01] coz_ Definitely not koffice - I removed Amarok for that reason. Abiword's only a word processor sadly - I need spreadsheets as well sadly. [10:01] how do I do that magnetron [10:01] funkyHat, ah ok ... I dont kind the kde libraries as I used to [10:01] iTroll: svn, git, mercurial, although none are specifically designed for websites they can handle the task [10:01] funkyHat, i meant I dont "mind" the kde libraries [10:01] iTroll: graphics in them will be a bit of bloat though [10:02] coz_ It's a bit much overhead for my relatively weak work laptop, and Amarok has become disappointingly bloated in the last release [10:02] git is more disk space efficient than mercurial [10:02] ddilinger: yea I use git at work, but i dont really want to manage using it as a backup tool, I was thinking of backup-manager, which sounds quite good [10:02] (generally, in my experience) [10:03] funkyHat, I have found amarok to be a bit of a hog so I never use it but most of the other kde applications seems fine [10:04] magnetron , how do I do that ?> currently the maitenance shell mounts something thats read only [10:04] Does anyone have an opinion or experience with Gnumeric? [10:04] I use Gnumeric on my cell phone [10:04] thevishy: mount -o remount,rw /path [10:05] funkyHat, I have not used it let me googl that one :) [10:05] it's the only spreadsheet program that will run for me [10:05] thevishy: yes you need to mount the regular root filesystem, not the maintenance one [10:05] fine , how do I mount it ? [10:05] funkyweasel: Gnumeric developers are stubborn about rounding errors, so you may find in some uses that the output is not the same as other programs like OO or Excel [10:05] thevishy: impossible for me to say, all depends on your setup [10:06] its just a laptop ... it has /dev/sda1 [10:06] how do i copy something from downloads to usr/lib as root? [10:06] Hydrozii: sudo cp downloads/something /usr/lib/ [10:06] funkyHat, I am going to guess that gnumeric is less intrusive I will install it after my current downloads are finished [10:07] hi, is there a ncurses diff tool? [10:07] thanks [10:07] Okay, So I am using DreamLinux. It is debian based as is ubuntu so maybe someone can help me. How do I change the default icons for file types. For example *.mp3, *.pdf, etc. [10:08] what is the command to open my file manager as root? === Liammm|AFK is now known as Liammm [10:08] Oldrie: I have an apple, so maybe because you have tried an orange and they are both growing in trees, can you tell me what an apple is like [10:08] Hydrozii, gksudo nautilus [10:08] Oldrie: we will not give support to non-ubuntu distros. ask in the dreamlinux forum/website/irc [10:08] ha [10:08] Hydrozzii sudo nautilus . [10:08] what is the file manager in xubuntu? [10:08] pcman === Weust`afk is now known as Weust` [10:08] really pcman? [10:09] Hydrozii, I believe so [10:09] Hydrozii, try sudo pcman [10:09] no its not [10:09] Hydrozii: thunar [10:09] ill look it up [10:09] Okay, Well I have an Ubuntu box as well. How can I change the default icons for file types on that? [10:09] thunar [10:10] Oldrie: which release? [10:10] 10.04.1 [10:11] oh see, what kernel version is that [10:11] I don't know the kernel version. How do I check? [10:11] 2.6.32-25-generic [10:12] Oldrie, in terminal uname -r [10:12] lucent - good to know. Atm I am just using it for simple testing result tables. :) [10:13] funkyweasel: I would use OpenOffice if that is possible [10:13] OpenOffice on my phone would be too much though [10:13] lucent: It just isn't possible. It's the buggiest piece of rubbish I've used when ran on 10.04 that reliably crashes at least once an hour - works like a charm on Windows 7. [10:13] i have themes installed but why cant i get the login screen according to themes with effects? why the login menu is plane [10:13] lucent Phone?!!!! which? [10:14] I have to start up my ubuntu box 1 sec. [10:14] ah, I use a Nokia N900 [10:14] that's a bit off topic then [10:14] ysk, you want to change the login theme? [10:14] yeah [10:14] lucent , Wow I love to have one such meamo [10:14] lucent: I've got java installed, tried resetting OOo profile, completely removing and reinstalling the Oracle version - no effect. Buggy and rubbish with absolutely no logging of why it crashes. Unless anyone has any insight my patience has expired with it in 10.04. [10:15] ysk if you are using Ubuntu install kdm which is nicer [10:15] funkyweasel: sounds like your particular setup. No stability issues here [10:15] 2.6.32-24 [10:16] i have downloaded themes but the login screen is same in everyone i have ubuntu tweaks installed but i can change the wallpaperpaper but i cant see the effective screen of login menu [10:16] ysk, ok well it is a bit strange to do but if you run this command gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties it will open up the appearance properties but as root ...so choose a theme as if you were chaning the system theme... it will not effect the actual system theme... then reboot [10:16] lucent: Good for you ;) But with no other evidence of why it misbehaves and no help forthcoming I'll stick with my diagnosis - unstable and unfit for purpose. [10:16] funkyweasel: what are you trying to do in OpenOffice? [10:16] ysk, no the gdm themes no longer work [10:16] prayii: Use Calc for more than 30 minutes without it mysteriously crashing with no error message or log entries I can find. [10:16] why they no longer work? [10:17] magnetron : is maitainance shell loaded from root filefilesystem ? [10:17] ysk: you want to change the login screen? [10:17] ysk, well ... it was changed a while ago... now you have to change the theme via appearance properties as root... [10:17] not the login wallpaper that can be done by ubuntu tweaks the login menu window [10:18] ysk, but you are not going to get any fancy login screens now [10:18] The kernal it says I am using is 2.6.32-24 [10:18] ysk: which ubuntu you have? [10:18] oll rite that was my question [10:18] never have liked OpenOffice.. [10:18] ysk, they will all be flat and and rather plain [10:18] 10.04 x8x64 [10:18] ysk: think you have lucid [10:18] coz_: sounds like the ... nevermind [10:19] * lucent hides in his cave [10:19] it is lucid [10:19] well chaning the login theme is a bit grungy in my opinion now that things have changed [10:19] orrite [10:20] ysk, I generally bypass the login and login automatically [10:20] another problem i can use mic i have tried alot it works in windows but cant use in ubuntu whenever i try to record something and play it the sound comes like tv signals noise when there is no signal [10:20] Hello, how can I change to the path of the first result of a command from the shell? [10:20] vijay_: confused about your question [10:20] for example [10:20] if i run locate on a file [10:20] and the output is [10:20] /usr/share/test/test.doc [10:20] /etc/test.doc [10:20] vijay_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:20] [10:21] that was easy. [10:21] ysk, open a terminal type alsamixer make sure none of the sliders are muted or turned down [10:21] nick Exploiter === Exploiter_ is now known as Exploiter [10:21] I think I have modified my source list. How to restore it. [10:21] I have sudoed edit etc/apt/sources.list [10:22] sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [10:22] done let me check [10:22] for example, if i run locate on a file and the output is: /usr/share/test/test.doc, /etc/test.doc [10:22] and if I want to change my directory to the first path how do I do that? [10:22] Hey everyone :D [10:22] i tried piping to cd: e.g command | cd , but that didn't work [10:22] !hi | MooshiMuushi [10:22] vijay_: check out the 'dirname' directive [10:23] 'help dirname' in bash [10:23] ? [10:23] while Googling for 3D desktop effects I can across 3D desktop with Glasses shich gives us real 3D FX, Have anybody tesed this ? [10:23] vijay_: try copy & paste [10:23] vijay_: my bad I told you bad info, it's actually 'man dirname' [10:23] funkyweasel, I am installing gnumeric now [10:23] yes i do do copy and paste, but i was wondering there must be a unix way of doing it (i.e. no mouse) [10:23] hi all. i'm on ubuntu 10.4, and somehow broke my gnome config. [10:23] vijay_, copy and paste from what to where? [10:23] the appearance is completely off, i'm stuck with fugly controls/windows [10:23] chanmging stuff in the appearance dialog only changes that window, not others. and also only temporarily. [10:24] even gdm looks boxy and clumky now. [10:24] vijay_: scared of a little mouse? [10:24] what can be the problem? how do i find out? [10:24] magnetron : i notice that my root FS - /dev/sda1 is loaded read only [10:24] thats where my os is installed and a simple fsck gives its clean [10:24] done not working do u want me to send my recorded voice so u can understand whats happening when i record and i cant mic in other applications [10:24] coz_: Already working on it. It's very basic, but it'll do for what I need. And, as an added bonus, it's NOT crashed yet. [10:24] funkyweasel, :) [10:24] :P no, it's just I have to keep moving hand to mouse and waste valuable time especially if you had to do it a gazillion times [10:25] vijay_: it's the 21st century - the cli is for trogladites [10:25] Hi there. I need to install OpenCV. Should I use the Gijs Molenaar packages mentioned in the OpenCV wiki ( http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/Ubuntu_Packages ) or the libcv4 ones mentioned on the Ubuntu wiki ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libcv4 )? [10:25] funky temme bro [10:25] thevishy: you probably have a stale mount tab [10:26] thevishy: compare the output of 'cat /proc/mounts' versus the contents of /etc/mtab [10:26] billy: true, UI is useful for discovery and execution of simple tasks, but is not as efficient when repetitive actions are required [10:26] lucent : meaning ? i was upgrading my system and power went off - now I am having a botched system which cant seem to mount / ... howerver in maitaiance shell I am seeing my root only [10:26] lucent mate i have a problem with mic [10:26] and i am stuck on ssh terminal :) [10:26] Hey people! How do I change color depth? I have tried producing an xorg.conf with Xorg -configure and place it in /etc/X11/ but even though i remove all but one colordepth then 32bpp is allways chosen. [10:26] ysk: buy the mick a drink, should ease your problem [10:27] funkyweasel, I still think you might koffice [10:27] common mate [10:27] funkyweasel, kspread is not basic [10:27] coz_ Tempting, but I'd rather avoid the overhead of running KDE libs on this box. === skynet is now known as Guest97992 [10:28] thevishy: I'm guessing your system is just plain hosed. [10:28] funkyweasel, let me screenshot main window hold on [10:28] funkyweasel, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/Screenshot-KSpread%20%5Bmodified%5D.png [10:29] thevishy: save yourself loads of time, accept that it's not going to work, and get to doing a fresh install and re-instating your data :) [10:29] lucent : i would have , but my old laptop doesnt even have CD support , and hence I will have to do via PXE boot etc [10:30] When I set my bottom panel to be displayed on left or right it does not show the open items icon [10:30] vijay_: you are in trouble - look at piping locate result to sed - good luck learning sed - i wont touch it [10:30] Any way to resolve this? [10:30] just wonder if I can do something - i mean the power went off during uprade - I am in maitainance shell now [10:30] lucent: dirname doesn't work for my purpose, and i already have an alias that changes files to director so I can safely do cd /path/filename [10:30] there is a difference between /etc/mtab and cat /proc/mounts [10:30] thevishy, you are at command prompt? [10:30] yeah maitainance shell [10:30] billy: that is sad news indeed :( [10:30] vijay_: you could also look at awk instead of sed [10:31] thevishy, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:31] Hi, I have setup DHCP connection. When I set nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and restart networking, the nameserver gets reset to my router's ip address. How can I set nameserver while using DHCP ? [10:31] good day ladies and gents [10:32] what the CLI for deleting files again? [10:32] hariom: I think that stuff is controlled by NetworkManager [10:32] is this regular GUI type Ubuntu ? [10:33] I have come close with cd $(locate synergyc) and it works (with the dirname like alias for cd) but i guess there's no better way than that [10:33] DarkStar1, sudo rm -rf location/of/file [10:33] coz_: thanks [10:33] coz , this a maitainance shell and hence no network support , however the sudo apt-get update says no network and then says the obvious message which is that dkpg was interupted - and try to run sudo dpkg --configure -a [10:33] * DarkStar1 has the memory of a fine sieve [10:33] DarkStar1, make sure you get the loation right [10:33] but dpkg --configure -a just says its a read only file system [10:33] I have installed a extra hard drive into my server which l wanna use as my file storage. But if l create a file on it to share I can't change the permissions. Am l doing something wrong? [10:33] it's local folder [10:34] btw the alias is "cd(){ [ -f "$1" ]&&builtin cd "${1%/*}"||builtin cd "$1";}" , got it from command line fu [10:34] hariom: edit resolv.conf.tail instead, it's appended to the auto-generated version of resolve.conf [10:34] DarkStar1: And don't use sudo unless you actually need root permissions. [10:34] johnathan: is this on the root of the filesystem? [10:34] vijay_: That's not an alias, it's a function. [10:34] to be honest lm not sure. How would l go about to check that? [10:35] geirha: I'm in root shell anyway [10:35] lucent: is it possible to mount the root as non read only ? in the maintenance shel [10:35] geirha: sorry my mistake, that's what I meant [10:35] thevishy: mount -o rw,remount / [10:35] vijay_: And you need a whitespace in front of } [10:35] thevishy: "remount" is the word for it [10:35] thevishy: root is inherently always mounted if you're on the system [10:36] lucent: thats the issue , this is a maintenance shell and it works with / mounted as READ ONLY [10:36] I need to store an alias for the root shell....

[10:44] jabo, you can try xampp from apachefriends [10:44] Thanks, I'll give it a try [10:44] i was hoping for a more generic solution, something like "cd -" i guess, but working with the previous output [10:44] jabo: there's apache, lighttpd, cherokee, etc. out there, and tons of guides to LAMP [10:45] Tarfox, can you do lspci | grep -i vga [10:45] nope [10:45] Tarfox, you can manually adjust the brightness [10:45] neither :( [10:45] Jabo: Look here too. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [10:45] but ill try the ncurses thing [10:45] i need a professional voice recognition software ???

I have entered a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf but whenever I do /etc/init.d/networking restart, the nameserver entry gets reset.

[10:52] although both not lightweight i believe [10:52] i've got a postgresql 8.3 error in all installations anybody know how to fix it [10:53] coz_: Tried anjuta and codeblocks [10:53] rhobuntu-user, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerUsersProgramming [10:53] rhobuntu-user, maybe Geany [10:53] coz_: What does it suggest? - Don't want to open links on my phone [10:53] geany? - Okay, downloading now [10:54] rhobuntu-user, it suggests netbeans ..eclipse ...geany bluefish and cssed [10:54] rhobuntu-user, I vote 1 for Geany ;) [10:55] Hey guys, I just installed ubuntu on a laptop of mine but xserver seams like its not running (Screen goes black on Boot) Whats the best way to go about fixing this ? [10:56] Keypad, when it begins to boot hit e or shift e to be to grub menu you want to edit the kenrel command "quiet splash:" replace with nomodeset [10:57] Is there a way to extract a MKV file in Ubuntu 10.04? [10:57] MooshiMuushi: what are you trying to extract [10:57] MooshiMuushi, from a cd? [10:58] or compressed file? [10:58] MooshiMuushi, maybe look here http://bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/ [10:58] Extract a an MKV video file. [10:58] Thanks, but although the interface looked fine, I wasn't able to compile "Hello World" without errors [10:58] MooshiMuushi, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/mkvextract.1.html [10:58] coz_, Ahh, now the second post was what I needed :D [10:58] I am seeing an increased load on my server after upgrading to 10.04, seems to be an issue with the tickless scheduler. I saw some comments that there was no fix for LTS? [10:58] MooshiMuushi: ok, i guess the same way that you extract a BMP file or AVI file. your question doesn't make much sense [10:59] MooshiMuushi, there you go :) [10:59] What would be the easiest way to connect to a desktop (I'm on Ubuntu, he's on Windows) and to control the desktop (like VNC) ? Want to offer some remote help. [10:59] (tickless kernel) [10:59] coz_, I thought no one made a Extract version for ubuntu :D [10:59] hello i got deleted by mistake my upper pannel how can i get now it again [10:59] MooshiMuushi: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT [10:59] magnetron, Don't worry. Coz_, got it :) [10:59] how do I get to the ubuntu boot options F8 ? [10:59] MooshiMuushi, cool [11:00] Tuplad: use the ubuntu RD software but get him to enable windoes rd [11:00] magnetron, An ".mkv" file is a container. That stores video, audio and subtitle codecs. [11:00] DarkStar1: the person is a complete noob, what if I send him a version of TightVNC for example and connect through that? [11:00] Anyone know a good scp server that I can install on windows? [11:00] magnetron, An ".avi" file is also a video container. Which also stores video and audio codecs. [11:01] MooshiMuushi: yes. so i ask again, what are you trying to extract from it? [11:01] abhinav_singh: do u have any idea how can i get my upper pannel once again [11:01] magnetron, I was asking. Is there a program that will allow the extraction of an ".mkv" file. [11:01] abhijain, what happened to it? [11:01] magnetron, Everything ;) [11:02] MooshiMuushi: it all depends on what you are trying to do with it. raw video data doesn't make much sense without a container [11:02] abhijain, open a terminal and paste this command gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [11:02] Tuplad: If I can get this right I think if you get the person to, windows key+r, type services.msc and check to see if Remote desktop service is running, then they can start the rd service from accessories === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [11:02] magnetron, E.g h.264. Correct. :) === ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [11:03] Can some one help me figure out why Ubuntu doesnt boot after installing it on a laptop ?

[11:03] coz_: how can i open terminal i deleted my upper pannel [11:04] magnetron, You went into to much detail, and it wasn't needed. Anyway, Thanks :) [11:04] abhijain, hit alt+F2 [11:04] abhijain, gnome-terminal [11:04] morns [11:05] timothy: Ubuntu looks like its booting X then it just displays a black screen, I cant use CTRL ALT F1 to change to console [11:05] coz_: thanx [11:05] abhijain, no problem :) [11:07] 0 [11:07] Keypad: read through this. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen [11:07] coz_: but the bluetooth icon is not available on this new pannel [11:08] abhijain, right click the panel Add to panel [11:08] Where is "geany_run_script.sh"?

[11:09] abhijain, ah right click the panel Add to panel notification area [11:09] btw can anyone hear me? :) [11:10] Lai0a, I hear you :) I didnt see your question however [11:10] hi. how can i get to the editable bootprompt when starting ubuntu? [11:10] Where is "geany_run_script.sh"? [11:10] Lai0a: hit escape key i think [11:10] the splashscreen comes to fast [11:10] ahh ty [11:10] it's shift now [11:11] Lai0a, I think it is shift also or shift+e [11:11] !keymap [11:11] Lai0a: actually hold down shift key when you are booting. coz_ is right [11:11] Lai0a:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Temporarily%20For%20An%20Existing%20Installation [11:11] coz_: i need bluetoot h icon [11:11] grub2 is the left shift, grub1 is escape [11:12] thx "shift" key is working [11:12] abhijain, did the notification area show up? [11:12] Where is "geany_run_script.sh"? [11:12] I need to change the permissions on it [11:12] abhijain, open system/preferences/bluetooth [11:12] ok [11:13] abhijain, I believe the dialog that opens will have a tick box for "show icon" [11:13] wow shift works [11:13] rhobuntu-user: open a shell and run find / -name geany_run_script.sh === Syria is now known as Ibrahim-kasem [11:15] timothy: I can get into recovery mode. thats about it though [11:17] ok guys.. it is 6:15am here ...no sleep...if I stay longer I will break everyone's system :) [11:18] #php [11:18] Hey. Anyone working with Professional sound in Linux? [11:19] Keypad: good that u can log into recovery mode. just try every solution offered. most likely this one https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution [11:20] Leman_Russ: yes. why? [11:21] hello [11:21] In one project source code, there is one file with LGPL licence. But that project holder issued Apache License 2.0. I want to use the project source code.. Can I use it ? [11:21] timothy; Hi! well, I have been using Windows for years; since 98, with Pro-Audio gear. [11:22] timothy: It crashes in recovery mode :( [11:22] banpdtr_, why not ask to the project owner only? [11:22] I am fully on Linux now, especially Ubuntu, and am looking for a new Audio Interface which will work with Ubuntu out the box [11:22] I'm surprised that Ubuntu doesn't come with a nice GUI FTP client... Unless I'm not seeing something right. [11:22] Looking for recommendations and reports, basically [11:22] israfel, filezilla [11:22] Leman_Russ: Okay. have a look at avlinux and ubuntustudio [11:23] AbhiJit, posted message 3 months back.. still waiting :( [11:23] timothy; I am not looking for distros; I am looking for recommendations for Audio Interfaces which will work with Linux [11:23] AbhiJit, Yeah, I can install that, but just surprised it wasn't installed with the OS. [11:23] banpdtr_, this is ubuntu support channel. we cant help you further you need to talk to the project owner or talk to one with good knowledge of law and gpl/lgpl [11:24] israfel, hmm [11:24] Any recommendations on a more powerful FTP client? [11:24] israfel: ncftp [11:24] Leman_Russ: AV Linux has OOTB Support for many common Pro Audio/MIDI Interfaces like M-Audio, Tascam, Echo and RME and a growing list of Firewire Audio Interfaces are also working with FFADO and FreeBOB. [11:25] israfel: disclaimer: that's a terminal client :) [11:25] timothy; great thanks. I will head over to the site / forums and see what I can find. Thanks again [11:25] greppy, That's fine. Just looking for more features and control. [11:26] israfel: I thought nautilus did ftp - try ftp://address.here [11:26] !ftp | israfel [11:26] israfel: FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [11:26] israfel: look here as well http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20100320122220926/FTPClients.html [11:26] /join #python [11:27] israfel: also, in gnome, places, connect to server [11:28] greppy, Ah, ok. I figured I could also just use command line programs, just looking for something a little more powerful than an file explorer. [11:29] How might i rotate just 1 screen in Xinerama w/nvidia binary driver(downloaded 1hr ago from nvidia.com)? I tried adding Option "Rotate" "CCW" to one screen and Option "Rotate" "normal" to another screen, but no luck. Didnt see anything in nvidia-settings regarding rotate [11:29] well, it does rotate, but it rotates both [11:30] edlinger, Are you trying to change the orientation of one screen? [11:30] israfel: yes [11:30] How do i make rm remove folders? [11:31] Salminen: rm -rf, but be careful [11:31] Salminen: rm -rf folder [11:31] israfel: is rotate the wrong option for that? [11:31] thanks [11:31] edilinger, Let me check, It's been a while since I used Xinerama [11:32] Does any one else know how I can get my laptop to boot? It like crashes starting X [11:32] hi i installed mysql server but i cannot find out the username and password [11:32] where can i find this? [11:33] heh [11:33] impossiable [11:33] whn you install it it prompts for that inormation [11:33] lol [11:33] informatin [11:34] I hope this rescue mode stuff works [11:34] How do I find/contact the package maintainer for pljava? Current is postgresql-8.3-pljava [11:34] Hi, I am enjoying the Cairo-Dock very much, but after configuring some compiz-options my cairo-dock always shows a Black-box instead of a transparent background. Any suggestions? [11:36] is .bashrc created automatically in user home directory? [11:36] or do i need to make one? [11:36] <- fail at using ls [11:36] Salminen: Yes it is! [11:36] weird, can't see it [11:36] Salminen: ls -al [11:36] nvm, yeah, just did ls -a [11:37] myrkraverk: apt-cache show look for Maintainer [11:37] Salminen% obviously, if it's not there you need to make it ;) [11:37] edilinger, Ok, what I've seen is that people are using the "left" and "right" rotates. Nothing for CCW in the google searches yet. I had a similar issue using RandR until I found out I couldn't run xinerama and RandR at the same time. [11:37] myrkraverk: isnt it created automatically? [11:37] prolly some ubuntu thing [11:37] israfel: hmm, i wonder if rotate and twinview work against eachother [11:37] edilinger, Yes. [11:38] Hey. I'm trying to execute a file in the terminal, however I keep getting permission denied. The file is on a mounted iso. When I do sudo ./filename, it just gives me permission denied. [11:38] Tik it didn't ask me for the information [11:38] edilinger, Twinview won't work because the orientation isn't the same on each screen.... Or are you making both screens portrait? [11:38] so basically can i just add a command in the .bashrc and it will run when i log in? [11:38] the_german% in my experience, it doesn't have to be. [11:38] Moopz: chmod u+x [11:38] Can some one help me figure out why this laptop will not boot after installing a fresh copy of ubuntu ? [11:38] like, just put bash mybash.sh there and it will be run? [11:39] Keypad, Did you make sure that the install disc isn't corrupt? [11:39] Salminen% Yes. You'll want .bash_profile (iirc) if you only want it to run when you log in and not when you spawn each shell. [11:39] the_german, Still the same. [11:39] myrkraverk, what is pljava? [11:39] i want to add ubuntu to grub on another distro can anyone give me a link to editing the menu.lst file ? === Ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [11:40] AbhiJit% Java stored procedures in postgresql. [11:40] Moopz: what are your permission on the file? [11:40] israfel: yeah I did the check / md5 [11:40] myrkraverk, give me its link [11:40] Salminen: If you want to run something when you log in, put it in System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications [11:40] alaing: did you install mysql-client as well? [11:40] the_german, How do I check that? [11:40] ls -l [11:40] Keypad, Is there an error message? [11:40] keypad: id you check the cd as well? [11:40] AbhiJit% http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pljava/ ? [11:41] on boot.. there is an otion called "est the cd" or something [11:41] myrkraverk, thanks! [11:41] TiK: Yeah! [11:41] whats the error? [11:41] AbhiJit% I just ported it myself for 8.4 in a way that "works for me" - I'm willing to work with a package maintainer so it can be integrated into ubuntu. [11:41] Keypad, Tried a different version of Ubuntu? [11:42] myrkraverk, #ubuntu-packaging #ubuntu-devel [11:42] TiK I dont think so. perhaps I need to do it a different way. I used the Software Centre. How do i install it from a terminal windows [11:42] It just blackscreens, on boot. Cant change to a terminal window using ctrl alt F1 - 2 etc [11:42] AbhiJit% Ah, thank you. [11:42] alaing: hold [11:42] israfel: I dont just the alternative disk [11:42] Keypad, Can you boot to command line? [11:42] myrkraverk, :) [11:42] TiK: I'll hold [11:43] Keypad: mine use to do that too it was a bad btch of blank cd's.. drop into terminal (alt control f1) and see if you have any errors [11:43] Keypad, You at least get Grub, correct? [11:43] israfel: Sorry, How do I do that ? [11:43] israfel: excellent, disabling twinview fixed it up [11:43] israfel: Yeah if I hold down shift I can see the grub menu [11:44] Keypad, But does it let you select any other options? If you can edit the grub menu, you should be able to set up a command line only option. [11:44] now for my last problem, how can i switch which monitor X thinks is primary montior? The controls are showing up on my second rotated monitor instead of the first. Is that entirely based on which one is plugged in where? [11:44] the_german, ? [11:44] alaing: sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-common === sezen_ is now known as seiflotfy [11:45] israfel Yeah it does, however recovery mode doesent boot [11:45] you already have server :P [11:45] alright and after that? [11:45] alaing: it will prompt you for the root passwd [11:46] so in a terminal I just type mysql? [11:46] then you can insall phpmyadmin which makes life easy [11:46] alaing: sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-common [11:46] is the ull command [11:46] full [11:46] then mysql -u root -p [11:47] i did that and it did not ask me for any username/password [11:47] israfel: What command should I use to get grub to boot ubuntu to command line [11:47] alaing: idk the [11:47] n [11:47] I'm used to phpmyadmin as i normally use xampp [11:47] alaing: do you know the root password? [11:48] yes i know roots password. [11:48] mysql -u root -p [11:48] enter password [11:48] I managed to get in there way does it set the password as my ubuntu roots password? [11:49] how do i setup phpmyadmin? [11:49] you speak really bad English, can you repeat that [11:49] I managed to connect. why does it set the password as my ubuntu roots password? [11:50] it doesnt, thats the password you entered [11:50] oh crap, is recovery mode the same as single user mode ? [11:50] i cant remember it asking me for a password when i installed it. [11:50] anyway I'm connected how do i setup phpmyadmin [11:50] well i did :) [11:50] it [11:50] Keypad, Sec. Was looking up Xinerama issues. [11:51] can anyone tell me where grub menu.lst is on ubuntu ? [11:51] kk :) [11:51] Keypad, What version of Grub are you running? When you did the install, was there any removable drives, thumb drives, etc, that could have messed up the disk mount order? [11:51] ive installed arch linux and grub didnt pick up ubuntu and want to add it [11:52] Keypad, For instance, grub may be looking at partition a when it's isn9talled on b. [11:52] Boo_Boo_: most likely at /boot/grub/ - but consider using find/locate or similar if you arent sure where to look [11:53] Boo_Boo_ : ubuntu doesn't use menu.lst anymore. Its grub.cfg now. Its in /boot/grub/ [11:53] Boo_Boo_: no menu.lst on ubuntu, its grub2 now [11:53] oops! too late [11:54] hi all [11:54] think anybody help with a display issue? [11:54] i av a question please [11:54] Please don't ask to ask. just ask. [11:54] how will i run a windows application on ubuntu [11:54] BODMAS: go into software manager, install WINE [11:54] BODMAS: install wine [11:54] yeah ive just noticed that now, im used to lilo [11:55] my issue is, I just recently installed compiz and compiz-icon [11:55] BODMAS: out of the box - you dont - while wine might help [11:55] oh and emerald [11:55] I went into compiz manager, tried to set opacity on a window [11:55] and now all windows are invisible [11:55] venky10, copying my grub menu list section of ubuntu would work on my arch grub config ? [11:55] israfel: only the laptop HD, its version 1.98 [11:56] Can someone list down all pc OS? [11:56] Keypad, partitioned into other drives? [11:56] Boo_Boo_ : you mean you're gonna make a new entry and point to the new kernel you built? [11:56] Hey guys, not really an Ubuntu question per say, just a general GNU/Linux query... Is there a variable or something which controls where STDOUT goes to? For instance, in a terminal session session STDOUT directs to the terminal display, but in a GNOME session for instance, I'm guessing it goes elsewhere? It's possible I have no idea what I'm talking about :p [11:57] hi [11:57] which netflow collector would you recommend? ;-) [11:58] no venky10 i have been using ubuntu lately and just recently tried arch linux , i was hoping grub in arch would pick up mt ubuntu install but it didnt so im trying to edit the menu.lst so i can dual boot arch and ubuntu [11:58] israfel: It should have nuked everything [11:58] chu: various commands can direct output to a logfile. look at the configuration files [11:59] pls hw will i run windows application on ubuntu [11:59] thanks ODB|FIDEL [11:59] Boo_Boo_ , you should point grub to the right partition where Arch Linux sits [11:59] !wine | BODMAS [11:59] BODMAS: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [11:59] Boo_Boo_: Why not let ubuntu havee the grub installation? [11:59] Boo_Boo, for example /dev/sda2 [11:59] Keypad, When you install, you should format everything and set up partitions. OS, Storage, Swap, etc. [11:59] how do i do that now timothy, chroot the ubuntu partition ? [12:00] israfel: I did : / I deleted all the paritions and let it recreate everything [12:00] timothy: It's not actually for me sorry, there's a question on UF about executing a terminal application (just a "hello world" app I think) in GNOME. He says he gets the output when he runs through a terminal, but gets nothing when he double clicks the executable file. I'm just assuming the STDOUT goes elsewhere, hence why it's not giving him a message? [12:00] i have problem with connecting to the network [12:01] in the ubuntu system [12:01] Keypad, Are you able to see the drive and files using the live cd? [12:01] im using the alternative CD [12:01] as I allways have issues using the live CD [12:01] Boo_Boo_: boot into ubuntu recovery mode and install grub to mbr [12:01] venky, ive tried this ...title ubuntu ...root (hd0,4)....kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4 ro ....initrd /initrd.img ? [12:02] it doesnt work though :( [12:02] i have problem with connecting with my RAwter [12:03] timothy, but ubuntu's grub see arch linux ? [12:03] guys, any guesses why pidgin minimizes whenever I change / pause / resume tracks in rhythmbox? [12:03] can somebody give me a hint where to find a release schedule for Lucid-kernels? [12:03] theliller: u have to know ua gateway address in addition to ip addresses [12:03] chu: am not sure [12:03] thekiller: u have to know ua gateway address in addition to ip addresses [12:04] Keypad, Ok, so check out the /boot/grub/menu.lst That should have the grub settings for where the install is located and and options for booting. [12:04] timothy: That's fine mate, I did some googling but wasn't actually sure I was even looking for the right thing :p [12:04] StaffanE: take a look at the kernel ppa http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ === routebee is now known as Mujahid [12:05] israfel: I just formated it again, I deleted all the paritions then selected guided and said use the entire disk [12:05] grr I'm stuck with installing phpmyadmin. I used apt-get install phpmyadmin and asked it to config apache2. its now asking me about configuring a database. I already have mysql and can connect to it. Should I configu database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common? [12:05] Boo_Boo_: yep. Grub2 reads grub legacy very well [12:06] timothy i know them [12:06] Boo_Boo_ : try getting into grub live and check if it sees the arch partition [12:06] Keypad, Is this your second install? It could have just been a fluke for a first install to be bad. [12:06] how do i do that venky [12:06] alaing: go ahead. follow the instructions. create that phpmyadmin database [12:07] israfel: Yeah I know, Once I had a install that kept telling me that my disk was fucked. I must have installed it like 15 times Then it told me my HDD was currupt. only to figure out it was a bad RAM stick [12:07] i'm having a problem with 10.04.1 not showing up as an upgrade uption in the update manager (or when i run apt-get upgrade/apt-get dist-upgrade).. i'm running 10.04 on 32bit system, it uses the regular lucid repos. [12:07] anyone have an idea of what might be wrong? [12:08] Keypad, I had an issue with a USB-bootable persistent install of Ubuntu that had Grub 2 screwing up the HDD boot orders. [12:09] Boo_Boo_: I'm no expert on grub. but i think you can run it live from a cd. Once you set your partitions right, you can add grub entries. Read up grub live help pages [12:10] ok ill have a read up before i try it thanks [12:10] discorpia: press alt-F2 and type update-manager -d [12:11] Boo_Boo_: I would let Ubuntu control the MBR instead of archlinux. Ubuntu, because it uses grub2, will automatically detect archlinux and add it to its grub.cfg. Follow this guide to re-install Ubuntu's grub: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [12:12] timothy: -d shows 10.10 as option, however i was hopeing to go from 10.04 lts to 10.04.1 lts [12:12] thanks Jordan_U [12:12] Boo_Boo_: You're welcome. [12:12] maybe some 1 here can help me i have windows vista and it wont boot up anymore it does a loop so now im running linux bt4 to try to fix it i try to download applications to help me fix it and i can open them or install them what can i do to get my windows vista running again [12:13] timothy: thanks mate, your tip led me in the right direction! [12:13] discorpia: just update ua software packages. it will automatically upgrade to 10.04.1 [12:13] timothy: all figured out now, thanks alot! [12:13] discorpia: lol.. welcome [12:13] timonthy: I did that but now when I try http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ its cannot find it I looked in /var/www and cannot find any reference to phpmyadmin. any idea? [12:14] G'night everyone. [12:14] alaing: it's probably an aliased directory, check in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/* files or /etc/apache2/httpd.conf or apache2.conf [12:14] alaing: try http://localhost/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php [12:15] timothy: not found again === xuekan is now known as rabbit_kan [12:16] alaing: soory, thought u were installing from source [12:16] all i did was apt-get install phpmyadmin [12:16] and follow the prompts [12:17] rt\ [12:18] to work under command line is proved the better way,I thought the best way. [12:18] i did change the ownership of /var/www from root to my own user if that makes any difference [12:19] alaing: take a look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin [12:21] hmm not sure it this would work as I'm using 10.04 server edition with desktop enviroment [12:25] alaing: it worked for me. using the same system as yours [12:27] hi [12:28] timothy: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

[12:30] So we have a new ubuntu release coming up. Where do I start reading about how to upgrade my 10.04 system to the whatever-its-called-current-release-that-is-not-yet-final? [12:30] xuekan: ???

How can I get some sort of web monitoring interface to check drive health and failure? [12:34] dabukalam: fakeRAID?

[12:39] dabukalam: since you are running an ubuntu server why not try the commandline smart tools? alternatively try webmin [12:39] i mean i know it is possible that fine im just wondering why it might have happened [12:39] fabzor3: did the update complete successfully? [12:39] theres a possibility i rushed it [12:39] does that normally cause it? [12:39] timothy: does webmin have a hardware raid tool? [12:39] what was the command to check the permissions for a specific file? [12:40] Salminen: stat ? [12:40] Salminen: ls -al ?

[12:42] Dr_Willis: :P Sorry, I just really hate that software with a passion [12:43] Hiyas [12:43] fabzor3: hmmm if you cut off the updates while they were installing they could have broken ubuntu [12:43] dabukalam: you can alwauys find people with horror storries about any software.. ive seen quite a few over the years with Webmin. [12:43] rhobuntu-user: Not terribly convienient but you can always use /scrollback and /lastlog. [12:43] yeah [12:43] fabzor3: if it was during the download phase though it shouldn't have made a difference... [12:43] i need to know the location of something, what was the command for that? [12:43] Stopping updates while downloading should be safe.. after its installing them.. well.. thats not so good. [12:43] rhobuntu-user: you are compiling in ubuntu?

[12:44] Salminen: also type -a [12:44] rhobuntu-user: why not install from the repository if compiling is such a hussle? [12:44] fabzor3: not a problem. Just re-install ubuntu!

I notice Python has to have an interpreter. Is it possible to write a program and easily distribute it? With something similar to a makefile? [12:54] can anybody tell me how to make an iso image of installed ubuntu in my computer [12:54] rhobuntu-user: it went smooth. no errors [12:54] hmm [12:54] Python has tons of docs out x0rs_w - I rarely do more then simple scripts.

[13:03] zed_devil: and that device does what exactly? [13:03] peppeuz: :Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c940 10/100/1000Base-T [Marvell] (rev 12" is ua adapter. [13:04] timothy: yes, it's plugged. now i'm trying to plug it off and on again... [13:04] it is an external sat tuner for watching TV with mythtv for example [13:04] timothy: i mean highlighting the pdf like you would with a highlighter on the dead tree version of a doc. I think Adobe Professional lets you do that, not sure though. Would like a FOSS equivalent. [13:04] peppeuz: what are you hoping to do? [13:05] zed_devil: theres the #mythbuntu channel they are often the tv tuner experts. [13:05] zed_devil: are you sure it even has linux support? [13:05] timoty: ok, sorry for the mess. I'm trying to install my usb wifi adapter. it should be this: [13:05] timothy [13:05] Bus 001 Device 005: ID 148f:2070 Ralink Technology, Corp. [13:06] (pasted from lsusb) [13:06] they told me to seach for help in this channel because the problem is that ubuntu doesnt connect to the device [13:07] zed_devil: so you have seen referance that the device is supposed to work? [13:07] something like this: http://bit.ly/bk2qCj [13:08] zed_devil: you did go to #mythbuntu, not #mythtv ? [13:08] yes http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechnoTrend_TT-connect_S2-3600 [13:08] i was in mythtv-users [13:09] zed_devil: thats not the same as #mythbuntu :) THeres also a mythbuntu specific forum if you are trying to use it with mythbuntu, you could try vlc or xawtv with it also I guess. I dont use tv tuners any more.. [13:09] peppeuz: what is your kernel version? [13:09] ok i give a try thx [13:10] timothy: 2.6.32.25 [13:10] trying to ssh into a windows machine but the pathway contains spaces [13:11] how can I resolve this? [13:11] zed_devil, its #ubuntu-mythtv [13:11] DarkStar1: Escape the spaces with backslashes or surround the entire path with quotes. [13:11] Its been 2+ yrs since i last messed with mythv. :) [13:11] DarkStar1: what ssh server you got on a windows machine anyway? [13:12] Dr_Willis: Thansk again dude... ye're a genius [13:12] I am? :) [13:13] Well... [13:14] It was Pici that answered you :) [13:14] peppeuz: maybe it should install the linux-firmware when you set it using the nm-applet. Have you tried connecting using that already? [13:14] So here is my problem, I was hoping that someone could help. I'll attach the link, but if I need to explain it I would be happy to. [13:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1588675 [13:15] guessswh0: at least give a summary to the channel. [13:15] ok [13:15] My server continuously loses connectivity [13:15] guessswh0: most people wont go to a url just to read the actual problem they may know nothing about. :) [13:15] Ubuntu 10.04.1 [13:15] when I go to the console, I have no problems [13:15] I can apt-get and it can hit anything [13:15] or wget [13:16] the only thing this server is used for is hosting a wiki [13:16] did anybody tried to install webp [13:16] so your basic LAMP setup, apache, openssh, mysql, php [13:16] roughly every 30 minutes, I lose connectivity to the server from any workstation trying to hit it [13:16] * rumpsy looking help to install webp [13:16] the wiki times out and I can't even hit it via ssh [13:16] Did anyone find the file? [13:17] but if I walk to the console, i am able to hit outside anywhere [13:17] rhobuntu-user: what ? [13:17] any ideas on fixing this? [13:17] guessswh0, is there any chance that you've got power saving mode on the ethernet adapter? [13:17] rhobuntu-user: your question is not clear [13:17] it shouldn't because it worked fine for like 5 days, and then i did the latest updates to the kernel [13:17] and since then it has been doing this [13:17] guessswh0, what kind of Lan connection ,? [13:18] wired [13:18] it has a dual NIC, but I am only using one of them at the moment [13:18] hi I have a question about some weird behaviour of my Ubuntu [13:18] plugged directly into wall, no devices i.e. hub.switch [13:18] guesswho0, okay then, but the timing of your problem certainly could be caused by a power down after x minutes. [13:18] guessswh0, with NM ? or /etc/network/interfaces? [13:18] hey guys. i've got a sony walkman and i've found i can only access it through rythmbox and banshee by running them with sudo from the command line. is this because the account i'm using doesn't have the right permissions? i'd like to be able to sync and manage my walkman without having to use root to do it. any suggestions? [13:18] but if that was true, it should have been happening since the beginning [13:19] shouldn't it? [13:19] When I use Gnome the elevated user privs dialog never comes up. With KDE it is fine. Weird hey? [13:19] guesswho0, perhaps the update introduced power saving where it wasn't before? but if you want to rule out options without investigating, sure, I guess thats one way to go. [13:19] Hi, how can i restart alsa on Lucid please? [13:19] what do you mean with NM Blues? [13:19] I have it assigned a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces [13:19] heslam: It's likely the walkman usb drive is not owned by your user.

[13:20] philinux: right, thanks. i'll see if i can configure that correctly, then [13:20] Blues - didn't know there was a manager for the server OS. i've just been editing the philes themselves, /etc/network/interfaces [13:20] and assigning the IP that way [13:20] syria: have you tried "service alsa" [13:21] files* [13:21] philinux: thanks for your help :) [13:21] heslam: probably you haven't assigned yourself permissions to access external devices automatically [13:21] Hi - I've got a kernel question. I noticed that in 2.6.35-25-generic-pae there are two files (the abi file and the vmcoreinfo file) that are not present in the 2.6.32-25-virtual kernel. What are the abi and vmcoreinfo files? Will it cause me any issues if they are not present? [13:21] gbls: No! how can i do this please? [13:21] guessswh0, well, first place to check would be your bios. [13:22] ok guessswh0 in /etc/hosts.allow , list the IPs that are connecting under portmap [13:22] syria: go to a terminal window and type: service alsa - where tab = the tab key [13:22] timothy: external devices IS checked under the "user privileges" tab (on the user settings window) [13:22] then you can add restart and it should restart the alsa [13:22] ok, I can look there (within the BIOS). I'll check, but I don't think it'll be it, but it's worth eliminating that. Blues - I'll check that too in a second, I can't at the moment because the server is down again [13:23] timothy: mount user-space filesystems (FUSE) is unchecked though, and i remember installing an MTP library that mentioned FUSE. i'll get back to you if i figure it out :P [13:23] I am having some issues with nvidia twinview detecting the proper resolutions for my 2nd monitor.

Can get to grub but after selecting the ubuntu option, it will just give me a blank screen with Fsck status on the left hand corner. Has anybody experienced this? [13:25] @heinrich: 1364 user [13:25] gbls: haha the nvidia settings tool is all fubar, I've got no choice but to trudge into the darkness [13:25] itmustbejj: have you installed the NVidia driver? [13:25] yes they are receiving their IP via DHCP, but no, it is a different server that is assigning it [13:25] but they are all on the same network [13:25] gbls yeah nvidia-common [13:25] Anyone here use or used dyndns? [13:26] guessswh0, okay, just wondering if maybe its dhcp lease was timing out. [13:26] @darkstar1: me [13:26] itmustbejj: no i mean the serious drivers that you download from the nvidia website? [13:26] Dr_Willis I stand corrected I am using dvi [13:26] that's what I was wondering too, but 30 minutes is just too small of an IP lease time, for server or workstations. [13:26] Hi, please tell me how can i restart alsa. [13:26] gbls I did that previously [13:26] itmustbejj: it shouldnt have any issues with the modes then.. heres my xorg.conf as an example. [13:26] itmustbejj: http://pastebin.com/HgdvtwBv [13:27] guess, yeah, thats what I figure too, but I figure, while you're pulling your hair out lets explore everything :) [13:27] I can possibly set the server to DHCP, and hope it would handle the automatic IP lease (in case that is the issue) but I don't want it to lose its ip address [13:27] before its all gone! [13:27] yeah, thanks for the help too [13:27] hello, im going to install ubuntu for the first time on this laptop in five days. should i use wubi installer or burn and install from cd? (going dual boot), and is there any difference? [13:27] itmustbejj: also i recall after running 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and enabling twinview, i had to restart the X server.. AND i recall once the 'user' having a monitor setting that was overrideing the xorg.conf res setting.. so the user can also run nvidia-settings and tweak some things [13:27] philinux: it lists me as the "owner" of the walkman, but i have folder access (create and delete files) and no file access. i realise you'll just be guessing, but does setting file access to "read-write" sound like the way forward? [13:27] syria did you try service alsa restart [13:27] walkmen??? @_@ [13:28] guessswh0, is the problem so consistent that you could set your watch by it? is it always 30 mins, or sometimes 15 and sometimes 45 ? [13:28] gbls: Should i copy and paste this?? [13:28] heslam: Yep [13:28] fep: burn to CD if you can. You'l have to create partitions fro ubuntu though. [13:28] philinux: thanks :) [13:28] gbls: my display was working at one point with the drivers from nvidia's website, but it took some tinkering to get it to work compositing. Well after my last update that required reboot my nvidia module failed to load and modprobe no longer found it [13:28] koem: a sec pls, trying to do this myself [13:28] timothy: i had some problems with mbr when installing on other partition, but what is the difference between wubi and doing it manually? [13:28] gbls: at which point I gave the nvidia-common a shot [13:28] dr willis: there are also issues with unloading the default graphics driver so that the nvidia one will work [13:29] I need to check, I don't know for 100% sure if it is every 30 minutes on the dot, but it is just about that time [13:29] (wubi does the same just automatically as i have understood) [13:29] syria: no just type it in as it is [13:29] anyways, I'm going to go to the box now, I'll be back and report [13:29] itmustbe: whenever you install a new kernel you need to reinstall the nvidia driver [13:29] sudo apt-get remove flightgear [13:30] fep: wubi installs ubuntu in your windows installation. This means it uses ntfs as its file system. ext4 is better for ubuntu [13:30] gbls: ahhhh [13:30] timothy: Oh, i didnt know that [13:30] itmustbejj: yeah it is a ROYAL pain [13:30] If I ssh into a box and run MOC from the console is there anyway to stream the audio over the network so it comes out of the computer I'm SSHing from? JACK or PulseAudio? [13:30] gbls so it wasn't that my previously drivers screwed up...just that I need to reinstall them. Lame [13:31] *it not them [13:31] guessswh0, you're not alone http://serverfault.com/questions/142756/nic-going-to-sleep-on-ubuntu-server-10-04 there is a suggestion to create a small script, or cron job to do something as simple as ping every few minutes to keep the connection alive. [13:31] itmustbe: go back into runlevel 3 and then reinstall the nvidia driver using the nvidia installer === derwolf_ is now known as PataNegra [13:31] fep: about mbr, if you are going to dual boot then install ubuntu's grub in mbr. it will automatically detect and add a windows boot line [13:31] timothy: Then i will try again. I will just shrink my disk and make a primary ext4 parition and shrink a swap primary partition, and just install on them? (and grub will automatically detect my win 7) , right? [13:31] fep: it should [13:31] guesswho: what is your problem [13:32] timothy: do i have to choose "side by side" when i run the ubuntu installer? or just choose advanced partitioning and chose the partition? [13:32] and when i do chose side by side, to i have to shrink and make the partitions before i run the installer? [13:32] fep: advanced partitioning [13:32] i see [13:32] gbls: how do I boot into runlevel 3? [13:32] hello [13:32] and both swap and the primary ext4 should both be "primary" ? [13:32] itmustbe: yeah I spent a year wondering why my computer kept dropping back to the nvidia-common drivers - i wasnt really paying attention though [13:33] fep: ul have to resize your windows partition if there is no space to install ubuntu. [13:33] timothy: i know, i use shrink to do that, i rezise so i get two partitions, one swap and one for the ubuntu os [13:33] gbls so I don't have to remove the nvidia-common, I can just install the proprietary one from the website on top of it? [13:33] drop your pc [13:33] fep: not necessarily. they can be logical [13:33] timothy: what is best, logical or primary? [13:33] ubuntu [13:34] fep: how many primary partitions do you have? [13:34] timothy: i hope grun picks up that i have win7 this time then ... [13:34] 8go [13:34] fep: go for logical partitions. [13:34] timothy: i will have one primary that is my win7 os, one extra for bootup (100 mb win7) , one 150 gig for ubuntu and one swap 2gig [13:34] *grub [13:35] pas de fraançais ici [13:35] ? [13:35] you should be able to do it using init 3 - i think - looking it up now [13:35] ok, logical there is [13:35] itmustbejj, look in the HW for the recomended driver in nvidia jockey [13:35] timothy: both 150gig and swap as logical? and when that is done the grub will detect my win 7 and make a bootup list? [13:35] itmustbejj: I think so - the nvidia app should fix it all - if it doesnt work then you need to remove it [13:36] !fr | dbc_ [13:36] dbc_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[13:36] * Jozef sagt [13:36] timothy: ok, thanks for the help, i will also read a tutorial about installing since i have had some problems with overwriting win 7 mbr when installing just as you explained [13:37] what do you guys recommend for a backup solution for 10 servers? I have a storage array, but should i just write a bash script to run rsync? or is there something more sophisticated that I could do? [13:38] DrPoO: bacula! [13:38] http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=295975&start=0 [13:38] fep: ok. [13:38] gaahh.. can someone tell me if I\m doing this right: "C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps" is the remote path I'm passing to SCP for the remote parameter Yet it can resolve hostname [13:39] DrPoO: rsync would make a snapshot of a current state. what about the state of a few days ago? [13:39] DrPoO: IMHO the best free backup solution for linux === Cosmo_Kramer is now known as LuiGGiuZZo [13:39] DrPoO: there's some stuff using rsync and hard links (to save space) [13:39] drpoo: cron job with tar - simple and effective = OR bacula [13:39] DrPoO: rsnapshot ? rdiff-backup ? [13:39] DrPoO: if you want something based on rsync that's it [13:40] DarkStar1: whats the full command line.. and what ssh server are you using on the windows machine? [13:41] itmustbejj: you still there? [13:41] the_german, can you store multiple snapshots of your data in bacula? or is it just one copy a la rsync [13:41] Dr_Willis: I installed a cygwin and I'm running a ssh and scp server on the windows machine [13:42] DarkStar1: if you are using cygwin.. are you suer the 'c:\whatever' path is even correct? [13:42] DarkStar1: last i used cywin it did not use C:\ paths. it used normal linux type paths [13:42] Dr_Willis: the full command line is: scp ./test.txt synapture1@192.168.1.180 "C:\"C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps"Tomcat 5.5\webapps" [13:43] Dr_Willis: Without the fir C:\ ofc [13:43] first* [13:44] DarkStar1, you can also try ssh for windows which uses a lighter version of cygwin ...works well on my setup [13:44] BluesKaj: I need to keep an SCP server running [13:45] Darkstar: you cannot use windows \ paths with cygwin - you have to use c:/blah/ [13:45] I've just created a new user with adduser. Which commands make that user auto-login on startup? [13:45] DarkStar1: from what i am reading on the cygwin docs.. you DONT use c:\whatever,. you could set up cygwin to have c set to mountto /media/c then you wouls access /media/c/whatever [13:45] http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table [13:45] exactly dr willis [13:46] !login [13:46] use @login [13:46] !auto-login [13:46] !autologin [13:46] rhobuntu-user, /msg ubottu please [13:46] gbls: so he MUST set up access to C from teh fstab.. even your C:/ may not work by default.. im skimming the docs some more.. [13:46] rhobuntu-user: there's no such thing as "auto-login" afaik [13:46] rhobuntu-user: gdm has a feature to auto login a specific user [13:47] yay [13:47] Hi, The sound stops coming out from the speakers suddenly and I have to restart the computer to fix this. [13:47] Dr_Willis how do I use it, preferably from terminal? [13:47] dr willis: from what i know of cygwin it is a shell that exists completely seperate to the windows shell - this is different to the previous versions [13:47] rhobuntu-user: no idea.

I've run into a curious issue. This morning when I logged into my machine, my desktop was blank - no wallpaper, no icons, no shortcuts, etc. Using 'ALT + F2" I launched Nautilus and everything suddenly displayed as expected. It is almost as if Nautilus is disabled on startup, but I see no entry for anything Nautilus related in System > Preferences > Startup Applications. Any ideas?

[14:09] kryptyk, interesting. Can't really help you, but maybe someone will pick up eventually. Never had that experience before. Nothing related to Nautilus in my start-up either. [14:09] Dr_Willis what I don't understand though is it takes me unplugging and plugging my monitors back in to make it detect the correct screen settings [14:10] itmustbejj: weird. could be they are not wakeing up at boot time or somtning fast enough. [14:10] My distro auto-logons as root. How do I reconfigure auto-login on LXDE?

I already tried MeeGo, and it was far too buggy. I'm just wondering if there is a netbook interface for ubuntu based on metacity, not mutter which I think is the cause of the slow performance. [14:13] Hi [14:13] WinnipegGirl: you can install the old netbook interface i recall [14:13] Dr_Willis: Yeah.. but what's it called? I can't find it in synaptic [14:13] !hi|tomspur [14:13] problem solved: I had taken java jre not jdk - no compiler in jre package apparently. [14:13] WinnipegGirl: no idea.

[14:15] how can I configure openmpi to get it started? [14:15] gentlemen, is there any real reason the website is saying 64bit is NOT recommended for daily desktop use? i dont recall seeing that on any prior ubuntu releases [14:16] tomspur: That file is included in libopenmpi-dev [14:16] chek0v: its idiot proofing .. and asked in here all the time. [14:16] chek0v, reason is web site is not updated [14:16] !64 | chek0v [14:16] chek0v: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [14:16] q [14:16] Dr_Willis: im running 64bit now, so i assume its bogus [14:16] tomspur: and I'm not sure what that has to do with update-alternatives... [14:16] chek0v: if a user dosent know if their cpu is 64 or 32bit.. then its best for them to get 32bit.. [14:16] just wondered [14:16] Thanks, well I'll be off [14:16] fair enough [14:16] thanks :) [14:16] chek0v: yep. Its been reported as a bug even. :) [14:16] lol [14:16] chek0v: coz of flash issues maybe? [14:16] appropriately so [14:16] timothy, no [14:17] Pici, "libopenmpi-dev is already the newest version." [14:17] chek0v: see -> http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Marcel-Gagne-Orbiting-Planet-buntu/Stop-Apologizing-For-Linux [14:17] tomspur: Then you should have /usr/lib/openmpi/include/mpi.h [14:17] kryptyk, you should search launchpad and check if there is an issue related to this. [14:17] prob because there arent 64bit pkgs for everything and not weveryone knows how to install ia32lib? :P [14:17] Pici, update-alternatives should update all path variables and so on, so I guess, that tool is doing something a bit wrongly [14:17] chek0v: ive have very few 64bit issues.. i can only think of 1 progam thats ive used thats not 64bit now a days.. [14:17] wget -r -l1 *.ps http://www.cs.duke.edu/courses/fall01/cps230/Notes is giving an proxy error . Any way to dowload all files? [14:17] Dr_Willis: me either, ive had only 1 [14:18] but I'm new to ubuntu, so I have no clue, where to look at right now :-( [14:18] with a specific piece of legacy software that needed i32 [14:18] Pici, yes, that file is there [14:18] ia [14:18] chek0v: i dident even try it with i32. i found an alterantive. :0 znes is 32bit only it sems.. :) [14:18] Pici, but when running "make" I still get " error: mpi.h: No such file or directory"... [14:18] Dr_Willis: heh, it aws wierd, OS reported file not found when trying to run the binary [14:19] took a while to figure that one out. [14:20] * bruteforce_allti its not my day @ #ubuntu. 4 questions went un-answerd :P [14:21] is it possible to run a 64bit os in 32bit virtualbox? [14:21] aight, thanks for the infos, ya'll take it easy [14:24] tomspur: I'm sorry I'm not sure what to suggest, perhaps someone else can be of more help. :/ [14:24] i have problem when i am on my computer i am getting this message on black screen "busybox v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ASH) enter 'help' list of built -in commands then...(initramfs) [14:25] Pici: Do you know why sound suddenly stops coming out from speakers. :( Lucid. all the sliders are 100% on alsamixer [14:25] Pici, I'll try to install mpich2 and then update-alternatives should do its job... [14:25] Syria: I'm sorry, I'm not too keen on sound issues. [14:26] Pici: Thnn anyway. [14:28] can any one tell me if it will be good to waste time setting conky ubuntu 1004? [14:29] B.C. 1004?? [14:29] 10.04 [14:30] blackdoggy: Huh? [14:31] Theres conky helper tools out that can vive you a pretty conky config now a days for your system. Or play with it by hand,.. if you want conky [14:31] Dr_Willis i saw a nice setup of conky in omgubuntu.co.uk was planning to setup like that it looks hard so just wondering.... do u use conky? [14:31] i have problem when i am on my computer i am getting this message on black screen "busybox v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ASH) enter 'help' list of built -in commands then...(initramfs) [14:31] blackdoggy: its used by a lot of people [14:31] hey ... how can I print one row from a command something like ps aux and pipe only the pid to a kill ? [14:32] ps aux | grep -i xchat | kill $1 ? [14:32] smth like this [14:32] Dr_Willis , whats the story about downloading the screenshot and copy paste to home folder and it works??? confused.. [14:32] alin_: with some extra commands to alter the data. such as awk or cut, depedning on what is needed to be done. [14:32] anyone ? [14:33] blackdoggy: no idea qwhat you are refering to.. [14:33] Dr_Willis , let me find the link and post it here [14:33] alin_: |head -n1|awk '{print $1}' [14:34] blackdoggy: some conky 'configs' can use extra files.. [14:34] alin, you could use pkill, eg pkill -f "/bin/xchat" or whatever you're running. === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [14:34] NiCloAy1, I can do this w/o head -n1 ... thx a lot :) [14:35] Hi! I am looking for a network monitor that can give me detailed information on my connections, especially 3G, like reception, signal strength and type of connection (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS). Any suggestions? [14:36] (using xubuntu) [14:36] a strange issue, I installed ubuntu 10.10 rc from inside win 7, afterward, back into win7 my screen brightness is stuck at 100%, regardless what I set with the scroll bar [14:36] I used wubi [14:36] Dr_Willis , found the solution.. it conkywizard... i think i should be able to do it from here [14:39] I have updated to 10.10 and still cannot get Gwibber to connect to Facebook. Every time it authorizes successfully and then never gives me the Add button. I have deleted the gwibber folder, restarted and tried again. It looks like facelib.py has already had its timeout values changed. Any other options? === Liammm|AFK is now known as Liammm [14:39] hello [14:39] i was having a bit of trouble on 10.04, got it working just by not navigating or clicking away from the box when it was trying to add you [14:39] what should i search if i simply want to install c++ stuff to code with?

[14:54] figured as much :P [14:54] at least i dont think you do. Or even can... [14:54] anyone use libreoffice yet? [14:54] AbhiJit, was that reply for me? [14:54] theos, just an FYI, but Pulse audio relies on ALSA for low level soundcard support, so anyone with Pulse is also using ALSA. 2nd, I don't personally think you should try removing Pulse, but others may disagree. Sorry, I'm not really any help to you. Best of luck. [14:54] aeon-ltd: it's a scam [14:54] theos, no [14:54] ariakus: is it no different from openoffice? [14:54] ZykoticK9, thanks for the info :) [14:55] aeon-ltd: it's a clone of ooo with patches deeclined by sun team [14:55] ariakus: how is that a scam? [14:55] ZykoticK9: you don't need pulse for basic audio [14:55] alsa is ok for basic audio :D [14:56] aeon-ltd: because 70% of OOO was developed by sun's engineers and libreoffice is just a ripoff [14:56] hmm so the sound problem remains on my laptop. pulseaudio crashes after a while. [14:56] ariakus: but its fork made from the OOO devs [14:56] theos: it happens, just remove it [14:56] ariakus, aeon-ltd: Libre office is a fork of office that the devs made to "Free themselves" from Oracle, which aquired Sun and will likely not share the same values [14:56] aeon-ltd: it doesn't even has its own bugtracker [14:56] i am using the "gtk2-engines-pixbuf" engine and no matter what them I do it turns out these nasty focus boxes around the widget that is focused. see http://yfrog.com/6rbuglp Is there a way to fix this? thanks [14:57] i have to restart the laptop to turn on sound again. this is really irritating. when i try to report for bug, it says "pulseaudio seems to have crashed" [14:57] ariakus, aeon-ltd: They are even asking Oracle to donate the OO.o name so they can make it a more official continuation of OOo [14:57] When are we going to see the window-lets? 11.04 ? [14:58] edbian: I will be suprised if its then... [14:58] ariakus: meh i'll stick to vim/nano and format things when people need me to [14:58] edbian, what is windows lets? [14:58] Dr_Willis, this is a bad sign for Ubuntu... [14:58] AbhiJit: it's small icons on the right of titebar [14:58] i need a bit of help please i DL'ed my ATI drivers but cannot open or install them [14:59] ariakus, hmmm === SCD_ is now known as SCD[Eire] [14:59] edbian: the whole idea of windowlettes seemed some what pointless to me from the beginning... [14:59] matter of fact i cant open anything to install it [14:59] Nooby: Is there any reason you are not installing them via System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers? [14:59] edbian: for all we know the next gnome may have a better idea. (it may not) [14:59] AbhiJit, Ubuntu moved the close max/min buttons from the right hand side to make room for "window-lets" [14:59] Nooby, did you try menu > system > admin > hardware drivers? [14:59] edbian, ohhhh ok [14:59] Small semi-unrelated programming/program language installation problem if anyone wouldn't mind checking: http://paste.ubuntu.com/506519/ [14:59] no but i will [14:59] ebarch: windicators [15:00] edbian: at least that was one of the excuses.. (oh reasons..) they gave. [15:00] Dr_Willis, Why would they move the buttons a year before they were ready? [15:00] edbian, ariakus Dr_Willis is this windows lets anyhow inspired from or related to m$crosoft wingfbdows? [15:00] Hi! I am looking for a network monitor that can give me detailed information on my connections, especially 3G, like reception, signal strength and type of connection (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS). Any suggestions? [using xubuntu] [15:00] AbhiJit: spell trademars right, would you? [15:00] edbian: to 'train' people to be used to it.. from what i recall reading.. [15:00] AbhiJit, To. It's an original idea. However mac has had their close button on the left for years [15:00] Dr_Willis, :/ Ok, thanks for the answers [15:00] I have a problem with wireless on my Dell Mini Inspiron 1011. I installed the drivers using these insctructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20BCM43xx%20drivers [15:00] Salminen: are you sure you have that right? I'm not a C++ programmer, but that doesn't look like any syntax I've ever seen [15:01] edbian, ok [15:01] edbian: my mac i think has them on the right... but its an old ppc mac. :) [15:01] First thing i do is move them back to the right on ubuntu... [15:01] Dr_Willis, really? That must be VERY old [15:01] Nisstyre65, it's old syntax but valid, but actually i think i found the problem [15:01] i got menu>system then closest i find is package manager also FYI im using !#crunchbang [15:01] the compile command is supposed to be cc [15:01] edbian: its a handy doorstop right now. :) [15:01] got g++ [15:01] OFFTOPIC: Anyone know what channel I can get help with C? [15:01] gah [15:01] Salminen: no [15:01] use gcc [15:01] O_o [15:01] oh [15:01] Nooby: You will need to install the correct package then... I think it's fglrx-something... [15:02] you missed namespace [15:02] its a preconfigured package....no DL? [15:02] SCD[Eire]: ##C [15:02] Nooby: Yup [15:02] ah [15:02] i should apparently use .cpp file extention [15:02] not .cc [15:02] Nooby: Installing with the package manager is much more preferred, too because you get automatic updates and can remove it easily if you need to. [15:02] weird, every guide contradicts each other [15:02] Hi. can i share my wireless connection with my mobile phone please? [15:02] Hey all. I have a printer attached to a windows machine on my network. I can connect to shares on the machine. How do I install a printer to print to it? [15:03] Nooby: Ah, looks like the package is just "fglrx" [15:03] The printer is shared and I can print to it from other PCs. [15:03] how can I get postfix to take all mail from holduser@mymachine.domain and put it on hold? [15:03] nah same error still [15:03] Thanks Pici also Salminen, what is up with that syntax? You haven't declared things lol [15:03] lucenut: samba can do it [15:03] I don't remember the exact steps, but it involves the web interface [15:03] Nooby: You can also get a GUI control center for it with the "fglrx-amdcccle" package [15:03] ibrahim-kasem: you mean use your 3g phone as a modem? [15:03] it's a direct copy/paste === Mujahid is now known as Pigsy [15:03] i don't know c++ at all [15:04] Salminen: I HIGHLY suggest learning C first [15:04] It's just not clear from the docs. [15:04] gsker: what do you mean on hold? defer delivery? [15:04] !fdisk | cse26 [15:04] bobstro: No, I have a wireless internet connection in my laptop and i want to transfer or share that connection to my nokia e72, [15:04] lucent, have you tried System / Admin / Printing - Add, then expand Network Printer - and try the Find Printer option. [15:04] thnx....got it DL'ing now i went through last night to look for that but it wasn't underanything i recognized [15:04] Hmm, no fdisk tutoral factoid.. [15:04] lucenut: go to system, administration then printing and configure [15:04] i need to to this for a school assignment actually :) [15:04] if i was learning a new language i'd learn python [15:04] I did smb://192.168.123.101/HP Photosmart C3100 [15:04] can't be impossible to get a darn hello world running [15:05] !who | Nooby [15:05] hold -- like defer but on hold. The issue isn't that it's where does ubuntu get it's config from. [15:05] Nooby: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:05] And it looks like it should work. [15:05] Salminen: print "hello world" : ) [15:05] lucenut: spaces in share names can cause AMAZEING problems... [15:05] Salminen, learn C first :P [15:05] Nisstyre65, that what it would be in python [15:05] I have a file with /holduser/ HOLD [15:05] lucenut: just smb://that.ip.number should show the shares/printers [15:05] i need to do a hello world in c++ :) [15:05] Hi all ! [15:05] OK, so change the share name on the windows machine? [15:05] yeah, and you should get "The C Programming Language" if you decide to learn C [15:05] and postmap -q "holduser@whatever" regexp:/ext/postfix/regexp says HOLD. [15:05] Nooby: np. It's kind of hard to find that package if you don't know to look for ATI's own nickname for it [15:05] OK === ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [15:05] !UNDECIM THANKS [15:06] lucenut: get in the habbit of Never using spaces in share/printer names. :) [15:06] ibrahim-kasem: if the phone has wifi, can't it connect to the same wireless network? is the laptop using 802.11?

[15:06] And then cout << "message" << endl; [15:07] Salminen, use void main () [15:07] NO [15:07] bobstro: The laptop is using 802.11 and the mobile has a wifi but can't connect to the same network, authentication issue. [15:07] timothy - I don't see "expand Network Printer" [15:07] main is an int function [15:07] bobstro: sorry 'bout that. yeah. I get that that's where the configs are, but how do I know what to name the file? access? [15:07] not a void [15:07] Nisstyre65 :( === Pigsy is now known as routebee [15:07] I have this weird issue in ubuntu...periodically my cursor flashes erratically like a key is stuck....I cant use the right click on the mouse either when this happening...at times itll just last a couple of minutes then stop..and other times i have to unplug the keyboard and plug it back in...any ideas [15:07] sorry, but that's a real annoyance of mine [15:07] gsker: it's a normal postfix configuration at that point. [15:07] Nisstyre65: doesn't matter [15:07] it just confuses people [15:07] and it's wrong syntax [15:07] DR-willis: !fdisk | cse26 [15:07] bash: !fdisk: event not found [15:07] lol Nisstyre65, all i needed to do was add int to the main part, int main instead of just main [15:07] bobstro: and where should I put a normal postfix configuration and what should it be.. [15:08] so my source was simply wrong [15:08] Nisstyre65, there are no integers in Hello world if I remember correctly ^>^ [15:08] SCD[Eire]: that doesn't matter [15:08] next question when i do DL a program how can i open/install it? [15:08] ive treis archive manager and tar [15:08] *tried [15:08] anybody can help me with my audio problem? the sound suddenly stops working after sometime. it only come back after i restart the laptop [15:08] Nisstyre65, go away. I am just a C programmer trying to help :( [15:08] Nisstyre65, SCD[Eire], Salminen: #ubuntu isn't a programming help channel. Could you please move to a more appropriate channel, like ##C or ##C++ ? [15:08] Nooby: you don't usually downoad programs in Ubuntu except firefox etc [15:09] Nooby: What program? [15:09] Nooby: depends on what you download... [15:09] OK< found that timothy, but when I do "Find Network Printer" and do smb://192.168.123.101 it finds nothing. [15:09] SCD[Eire]: it's wrong in C too [15:09] Nooby: use the package manager/ppa/repos if you can. [15:09] im attempting to upgrade flashplayer [15:09] Nisstyre65, I don't use it in C ;) [15:09] and yeah sorry about the programming discussion [15:09] I am too [15:09] deb, rpm, source tec? [15:09] Nooby, i prefer .deb for "manually downloading" softwares. just double click the .deb file and its done [15:09] lucenut: you could also try the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' commands. see what they detect [15:09] I PM you Nisstyre65? :P [15:09] In terminal? [15:10] !theos where do i get/install said program? [15:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:10] Hi, what's the recommended way to customise an apparmor profile? Is there an equivalent to rc.local or should I cusomtise the system provided profiles (in which case what happens on updates?) [15:10] lucenut: go to the web interface and add printer using this format smb:domain/username:password@serverIp/printername [15:10] SCD[Eire]: yeah [15:10] Dr_Willis: samba in ubuntu doesn't work with windows without tweaking [15:10] lucenut: cups web interface [15:10] ariakus: yes it does [15:10] theos, do you happen to know if simply logging out and back in also resolved your sound issue? are you using 10.04?

Only for that user. [15:14] crunchbang is ubuntu based as far as i know [15:14] Nooby: use tab to address a person [15:15] bobstro: I know I'm not being very clear.

[15:47] hey everyone. I am trying to setup a chroot jail for ssh/rsync/sftp on my ubuntu machine with jailkit.

[15:48] nicofs1, you can ask here but peoples in #xubuntu may know more about it [15:48] hi. Is there some way to embed the password in a ssh connection command? like: ssh myuser:mypassword@myhost [15:48] (or some equivalent parameter) [15:49] AbhiJit: that's why i ask here... i tried gkrell (which is not Xfce) an it didn't quite do what i needed... === nicofs1 is now known as nicofs [15:49] SmokeyD: err probably because those files need to be available within the jail, whats the root of of your jail? [15:49] and average processor lad is 10%?! [15:50] nicofs, and thats why i suggested you to ask in #xubuntu [15:50] ariakus: because swap and memory is used for more then just programcode [15:51] acicula: /jail for now. But jk_init already looks for the files when copying the binaries to the jail. I had the same propblem with the jk_init.ini config file, but the location of that file can be specified with the -c option, which works. But now I have the same problem with jk_socketd.ini [15:51] given the chance ubutun will cache your entire disk. look at the buffers section and you'll see that its just keeping a lot of stuff cached. [15:51] hi [15:51] likss [15:51] SmokeyD: well the binary may have some hardcoded path set at runtime where it looks for the config files? [15:51] *e? [15:52] could someone help me out? [15:52] can you just give it the right path as an argument? [15:52] AbhiJit: but it's not due to me using Xfce and gkrell being GNOME that i wasn't happy with it...

[16:17] which will nuke your connection but makes networkmanager believe its still working. [16:17] acicula: my problem is more aesthetical than technical... because after i have lost connection because i moved away from the antenna, i have no way of knowing, when i am back in an area with reception - because there is no tool to tell me that... [16:17] ariakus not working [16:18] nicofs: well that all depends on what the modem is saying [16:18] os [16:18] hello every one [16:18] thanks [16:19] mmh sorry but: how do i get samba users list in 10.04 [smb 3.4-7]?

Searching for that error code 22 should show up tons of threads about this issue [16:23] aeon-ltd: xchat + system monitor; 1.73 singlecore is at 15% [16:23] the reinstall method makes sense if you arent used to linux && if that ubuntu install wanst used before at all - which saves the troubleshooting. Depends on your time & knowledge at the end [16:23] ariakus: anything in background? [16:24] acicula: sorry... i didn't realize you were talking about that tail stuff... atm that doesn't say anything, because i use WiFi instead of 3G... should i connect via 3G and try it?

[16:39] nicofs: well it might with the vanilla ubuntu [16:39] ariakus: if it has applets running that poll something then yes [16:39] ariakus: every proces uses cycles, do you have a specific question or can you explain what it is you are trying to achieve?

[16:42] mixer settings, sorry [16:42] weeber: mixer settings = the volume sliders [16:43] i was not very clear [16:43] maco: there's just one volume slider in the taskbar, and it's ful [16:43] ariakus: network programs are the biggest offenders, there's little point in shutting half your system down, might as well suspend/resume if you cant use it? [16:43] weeber: there's no "advanced" button? [16:43] are there other ways to kill a process that keeps coming back? [16:43] weeber: bahh why do they remove all the useful things from gnome *sigh* ok open a terminal and run "alsamixer"and then check in there. use arrow keys to change volumes and M to mute/unmute (if a "slider" says MM at bottom, it's muted) [16:43] maco: i can't see one [16:44] ariakus: what cpu do you have? [16:44] ok, i'll do that [16:44] 1.73 single core [16:44] after the installation starts (after all configuration, partitioning etc. is done) it installs preatty much everything, read packets from it, install them etc. at some point on console 4 it is saying that it is attempting to read from "cdrom" like it just assigned it a new label or name [16:44] ariakus: celeron? [16:45] at that point, it cannot find it anymore and it is asking for the cd [16:45] hi all [16:45] hi [16:45] I entered the console 2 and mounted it manually [16:45] ariakus: err is that a recent celeron or an old p4 ? [16:45] is there any way in which we can reset the bios password from linux? [16:45] ranjan: technically possible, practically a really bad idea. use the jumper? [16:45] i can read it, no problem, but the setup continues to ask for cd labeled ... [16:45] ranjan: from within linux? or is removing the battery enough? [16:45] ranjan: no but on your mobo you can use the jumper, or if its saved to cmos take out the battery [16:46] Ron Paul 2012 [16:46] acicula: actually its a laptop and i dont want to remove the case [16:46] acicula: celeron M530 [16:46] ranjan: well there is no ready made tool that you can use to do it i think [16:46] odb|fidel: actually its a laptop and i dont want to remove the case [16:47] acicula: there is something called cmospwd [16:47] maco: i increased all that I could control to 100, but still no sound [16:47] any ideea? [16:47] ariakus: yeah thats a pretty weak processor to begin with, seems perfectly normal if with irc open and a browser to idle at around that [16:47] by the way does any one know which is the bios shipped with hp pavilion dv4 1241tx ? [16:47] weeber: ok then install that package and reboot and see if it helps. if not...try the 10.10 RC live cd? and if that doesn't work, please file a bug from that live cd with: ubuntu-bug -s audio [16:48] my system(kernel) uses 2% on a phenom quad core [16:48] ranjan: just boot it up, during POST it should say [16:48] i need help with xubuntu [16:48] !ask | leonardo [16:48] leonardo: 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).

[17:13] tron_ No big deal. Take a look around the website and let us know where you get stuck. [17:14] tacomaster, no. change encoding settings next time [17:15] anyone have experience with the equinox theme engine? [17:17] kristiina: in the past ive seen people use a FreeDos live cd and the dos flasher programs from the mb makers homepages [17:17] is the new ubuntu awesome === Liammm|AFK is now known as Liammm [17:18] jazzfish: nm-applet in the top panel does just that. right click it and edit connections [17:18] kristiina: it may have a DOS exe and a windows exe flasher.. you DONT use such tools from dosbox, or virtualbox. :) [17:19] tacomaster: you could of changed the audio codec. or perhaps install the proper codecs for the totem movieplayer and it may play it. [17:19] Dr_Willis: what do you mean not to use DOS exe? that's the file downloaded from HP.?? [17:19] kristiina: no.. i mean Dont use DOSBOX...

[17:21] is it just me or is the Network Connection panel kind of limited as far as wireless goes [17:21] I feel like it used to be better in previous versions of ubuntu [17:21] tacomaster: gstreamer plugins perhaps. i forget the package names.. somthng-good somthing-bad and somthing-ugly [17:21] Dr_Willis: Could you tell me what this means: flashing tool to be found at the web site of your motherboard/BIOS/OEM vendor. [17:22] Dr_Willis, tacomaster The ubuntu-restricted-extras will pull in the -good, the -bad, and the -ugly codecs. [17:22] Dr_Willis, so there really is no way to lock a file down whal still letting users write into the folder? [17:22] kristiina: you are not sourcing your new bios from your own vendor? [17:22] gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse [17:22] how to check my adsl connection password ? [17:22] acicula: you mean the bios downloaded from HP website?

[17:22] How to force kernal upgrade via terminal? [17:22] what we do when some package is only available in .rpm? === fer is now known as Guest68354 [17:23] acicula: would this be the same: New BIOS image + flashing tool to be found at the web site of your motherboard/BIOS/OEM vendor. [17:23] // [17:23] ? [17:23] kristiina: err if you download a bios update from hp it has to match your hp edvice, they'll have the tool to flash it into your device as well. [17:23] hey_pig: not clear on what you want to do. I rarely have to mess with permissions. You can chmod a file to be different from the resto f a directory.. thats easially done. [17:23] AbhiJit: Run the package through `alien`. [17:23] dajhorn, but thats not supported? [17:23] !rpm [17:23] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [17:23] kristiina: your motherboard vendor is HP so im confused [17:23] dangerous. why? [17:23] kristiina: why are you even needing to flash this thing? [17:24] AbhiJit: alien packages can break your system. [17:24] acicula / kristiina: Ihave a Toshiba and downloaded the flashing utility, ran it via WINE which had me burn a CD with the utility then restarted my comp w/ CD in it and it flash successfully. [17:24] AbhiJit: Anything that overrides the packaging system is dangerous. [17:24] Dr_Willis, dajhorn ohhh ok [17:24] acicula: touch pad not working [17:24] acicula / kristiina downloaded it direct from Toshiba support website [17:24] Dr_Willis, bascially, i have a bunch of moron engineer's working for me, and they move large project folders into the wrong spot often, i want them to be able to red/write into the folder, but not movve it.... [17:24] kristiina: and how does the bios factor into that [17:24] Hello. Can somone help me turning off the root reserved space on a newly created EXT partition? [17:25] AbhiJit: If you install an RPM, then you'll probably find that things in /etc don't work properly, amongst other problems. You'll need to tune any non-trivial package. What RPM do you need? [17:25] rusivi: it wasnt said its not possible, however changing firmware on your motherboard will brick your system if you do it wrong [17:25] I'm trying to run a "find" command, to "prune" out directories. Specifically I want to find all "*deb" files in the "/var/cache/" directory that aren't in the folder "/var/cache/apt-cacher-ng" [17:25] I thought that: [17:25] find /var/cache/ -name "*deb" -path "*/apt-cacher-ng" -prune [17:25] would do it, but it doesn't work. [17:25] cong06: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:25] dajhorn, it is one theme actually! so i am not taking that risk of installing it! :) [17:25] Hello!, somebody know if the netbook ubuntu network can handle 2 or 4 gb ram? What are the limitations of this version? === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [17:25] AbhiJit: Right choice. [17:25] dajhorn, :D [17:26] hey_pig: You can adjust the permissions on the parent directory perhaps. and have it different from the sub dirs in that directory. ive rarely had to mess with permissions or multi users.. only about 4 users here on my system. :) theres also the groups that may do what you want. [17:26] rusivi: which is why the recommended procedure is always to follow the vendors exact instructions to the letter, unless you eat bits and excrete assembly [17:26] !groups [17:26] i don't get it, shouldn't deb and rpm system filesystems are the same? [17:26] acicula: yes I took a humongous risk, using WINE to create the flash CD but it worked so high risk, high reward. [17:26] Guest68354: it can handle 4gb of ram.. since its 32bit.. but higher.. no. [17:26] Dexter: when creating (mkfs) use -m to set percentage for used blocks. I think tune2fs can change it on existing filesystem === cs278| is now known as cs278 [17:27] acicula I more sip bits, and exhale assembly [17:27] Thanks Dr Willis! [17:27] Dexter: If you want to change your root filesystem, then you'll need to run the tune2fs command from the Live CD. [17:28] acicula: everywhere is written that this is what you should do after intalling updateted drivers [17:28] oCean, dajhorn >> I have 10.04.1 installed, using gparted to create and tries the tunefs -m command with no result [17:28] How does one go about pam http authentication in apache2 now that mod_auth_pam is not available? [17:28] kristiina: got a link? [17:28] acicula: i switched to ubuntu after it happened and the same problem [17:29] Dexter: no result? [17:29] acicula: to the website of those instructions? === ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [17:29] Dexter: In some circumstances, you need to run fsck on the device before tune2fs. The command will be something like `tune2fs -m0 /dev/sda1`. [17:29] acicula: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789 [17:29] Dexter: If you're getting strange results, then pastebin your tune2fs output. [17:30] ocean>> yes, after running command, mounted but no more space [17:30] kristiina: and what computer model do you have? [17:30] I have my screensaver set how I want it but it uses the defaults, what would cause this? [17:30] martian: I guess you could look at freeradius it supports pam and many other authentication and it can interface to apache2 [17:30] Dexter: you have to provide a percentage following -m. As per dajhorn's example you can completely disable reservation [17:30] im only yrying this on diske that is not running os [17:31] Dexter: The reserve allocation doesn't show up in `df` and elsewhere. This is why you can sometimes see more than 100% usage in filesystem info pages. [17:31] acicula: hp mini 110-3030nr [17:31] kristiina: that just tells you how you could flash your bios, not why you should or how it would fix your touchpad [17:31] sacarlson: So, for some reason another they took out a simple and easy way to have dynamic passwords :x [17:31] anyway dont use that guide to flash your bios, hp no doubt has a decent writeup on how to update theoir system [17:31] Dexter: Pastebin `tune2fs -l /dev/sda1` (for your device). [17:32] acicula/Dr_Willis: i tried to to update the bios when still running on windows but got a message CMOS checkup sum is invalid. [17:32] I have my screensaver set how I want it but it uses the defaults, what would cause this? ie where does it save the preferences for it [17:32] martian: you might find if you download apache2 you can compile the needed modules your missing. that happens [17:32] dahorn>> will try right away. Should i use gparted to create? [17:32] acicula: HP says update drivers, if no joy update bios [17:32] kristiina: perhaps you just need to reset your cmos. Ive had to flash a whole 2 pc's in my whold life [17:33] kristiina: does the touchpad work in windows? [17:33] Dexter: It doesn't matter. Use whatever you are familiar with. [17:33] acicula: windows-not responsive ot responsive rarely. same ubuntu [17:34] Dr_Willis: it resets itself upon updating [17:34] kristiina: how are you updating the bios in windows, do you download it yourself or does hp provide a tool or wizard [17:34] acicula: it worked fine for 4 days and then it went crazy. it's a new netbook [17:35] acicula: download itself [17:35] acicula: i just checked today and there's a new bios so want to try this. my friend just fixed hp mini 210 by updateing the bios, had same problem [17:35] k [17:36] kristiina: Unless your very comfortable and have a ton of time, your going to want to call HP and ask them. Plus it is under warranty as you mentioned it is new. I would not try to get cute in this situation. [17:36] rusivi: cute? [17:36] yep [17:36] cute [17:36] rusivi: netbook from USA now in Malaysia. fixing it would take 1 month, they don't sell this model here:( [17:37] kristiina: I have had an HP they priority ship you a box fix it in a week or so then priority ship back. [17:37] rusivi: HP knows nothing. spent 10 days on the phone with them === Nix is now known as Guest86198 [17:37] kristiina: Invoke the warranty clause.

[17:38] hey, all my windows have lost the close and minize buttons on the top right side, they're not on the left either.. [17:38] How do i migrate to a process [17:38] using the terminal [17:38] kristiina: i only see a version from last may [17:38] bios that is [17:39] I want to migrate to firefox [17:39] kristiina: Being presumptuous that you have a warranty. [17:39] acicula: there's a version from 18.08.2010. HP mini 110-3030nr (usa) [17:39] Version:1.6.0.0 [17:39] aaron migrate? [17:39] rusivi: yeah [17:39] kristiina :D [17:39] hmm ok, im looking at the support page and im not seeing it though [17:40] nor is your cmos error turning up much [17:40] anyone can tell me how to cose a running program that can not close with "x" or xkill -all ? [17:40] I get uncontrolled screen twitching (like frequency on my CRT monitor is changed) whenever I try to do user switching. I use free radeon driver (x1250/690G). Interesting is that almost one girl, friend of ine got the same screen twitching when switching desktop users, with another graphics card.. [17:40] anyone can tell me how to close a running program that can not close with "x" or xkill -all ? [17:40] i defintly would not try to force the issue and attempt flashing from linux in any case if its not working even under windows [17:40] Gangrel, gnome? [17:41] amanita_ yes [17:41] Gangrel, Alt+F2, type xkill, run click on the window you wish to kill [17:41] kristiina: can you check in the bios that you are allowed to flash the bios? [17:41] if there is such an option its prolly under security or something [17:42] amanita_ thanks [17:43] kristiina: you get the cmos error after you reboot? [17:43] acicula: how to do that? oh, i get also the message: check if bios settings can change. [17:43] acicula: yeah. [17:43] ok nice to see you, bye [17:43] acicula: here's the page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4062&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4221551#N2377 [17:43] Anyone knoe where my close,minize buttons have disappeared from all of my windows?

[17:45] this laptop only has one (mono) speaker, but ubuntu is playing music in stereo, so i'm only hearing the left track; anyone know how to fix this? [17:45] Abhijit: thank you! [17:46] guitar-maniac, now close the terminal and see what happens [17:46] :P [17:46] acicula: the newest is F13f [17:47] yeah, for win 7 32bit it is [17:47] whats your windows os? [17:47] bah why ubuntu developers think everyone uses windows 98 still? [17:47] now no windows. it's ubuntu [17:48] Abhijit: i used alt+F2, everything worked fine. [17:48] :o [17:48] hey everyone. My sound is not working, for some reason. Anyone want to help me get my sound working again? [17:48] what windows version were you using before [17:48] guitar-maniac, it that heppens again just add the same line in startup ap [17:48] 32bit 7 [17:48] starter edidtion [17:49] where can i find the startup ap? [17:49] dajhorn>> Yot still there? [17:49] thats not it either then. Looks like you'll have to contact hp again, or try a post on their support forum. You seem to have installed the right bios and i cant find any usefull things on the error that you have [17:50] guitar-maniac, system->preferences->startup ap [17:50] My sound is not working, for some reason. Anyone want to help me get my sound back? [17:50] though that bios changelog lists nothing about fixing touchpad issues either [17:51] exactly: but they no nothing so i'll just leave it untill i'm some other country where i can fix it quicker then one month. i'm using wireless mouse now so good but just irritating. you know it's a brand new netbook.

[17:53] dajhorn: i know the locked screen, i lock it everytime i leave the pc, but it's always the original login screen [17:54] like if xorg restarts [17:54] well you should be able to see that in the one of the logs in /var/log/ [17:54] Help!

This is on a laptop, so I'd like location/connection flexibility; NetworkManager seems like the 'way to go'. I have been unable to get NetworkManager to bring-up & switch-between StaticIP connections. Reading, lots of comments abt 'NM is *only* DHCP-capable', 'to do StaticIP, remove/disable NM', etc etc. I'm guessing much of that is old-news -- but for the life of me, I can't get [17:55] NM working/behaving. And good pointers? [17:55] or you started hexdump ? [17:55] That looks like a hex edit mode to me...

So, if you have a good pointer to a reliable HowTo ... [17:57] ok...I am just started using ubuntu...so I dont know the diff community details..sorry for the trouble [17:57] kjelle: Check the working directory for a .vim* or a .*~ backup file. Past that, you're probably screwed. [17:57] hen I am loginto ubtuntu ,each time it is asking for password in keyreg window...how can i disable it [17:58] dajhorn: none :/ [17:58] hajmola: many different reasons, sometimes excuting sudo ysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0 [17:58] I cant imagine why a hex edit mode. would save the file that way.. unless somthing else weird happened. [17:58] may fix it [17:58] that should be sudo sysctl [17:58] kjelle: check the file in a different text editor [17:58] acicula, what does that do?

[18:00] acicula, i'll give it a try thanks [18:00] ty Dr_Willis [18:00] Dr_Willis: what! [18:00] that fixed it! [18:00] theinternet: hmm. you're not using a proxy setup or similar? [18:00] Dr_Willis: :%!xxd -r [18:00] No, bobstro.

[19:13] AidenG: safe video + nomodeset [19:13] But replicating to a different major version of PostgreSQL doesn't work tht well. [19:13] atoi: You can use the debian versions of it [19:13] atoi: If need be [19:13] Ah. [19:13] robertzaccour: i got it! thanx bro! :) [19:13] How would I do that? Manually download the .deb files? [19:13] atoi: Never use older dists because thall bite you in the rear later. [19:14] robertzaccour: at the end of the thread someone mentions that this method also worked for Pixma MX350, though for the i386 arch [19:14] older===stable===working\ [19:14] ariakus, but Lenny's Python version is 2.5 and the nginx on it is ancient.

[19:16] cause when I try to run a binary bash says command not found even though I'm sepecifying path [19:17] jshriver: install ia32-libs [19:17] atoi: Its not error prone.

Compiling source is never hard if you have the more or less latest depends [19:17] Hello [19:17] So my issue: USB drives, and I believe eSATA too, are not showing up properly when I plug them in. The system detects them but they show up as owned by "user #1002", and I can thus only access their contents as root. There also appears under "/media" 8 usb folders all the time. [19:17] atoi: Yeah, thall always be ok from debs. [19:17] Is there anyone who could help me? [19:17] Lauterino, sure. But I'm not the one who will necessarily be doing that... we have 6 other developers with varying degrees of Linux skills who might. :) [19:17] Nautilus' folder view doesn't update automatically when new files are placed in the viewed directory (I always have to refresh manually). how can I enable that again?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:18] atoi: Hmm, do you get any money for it ? ... i need some for rent atm. [19:19] indy: work as expected [19:19] Lauterino: it's software that allows you to type something, and then the software will search for a command that is relevant to what you typed [19:19] ariakus: ?? [19:20] atoi: I know GNU/Linux in and out. Compile system from scratch wo problems (Except OO, thats not so easy) [19:20] *works [19:20] Lauterino: for example: if i type "GE" it will suggest to open gedit [19:20] Martijnvdc: like "!ls" (history in bash etc) ? [19:21] Martijnvdc: Nice! [19:21] Lauterino, hehe. :) Compiling for me is no big thing, but it's still less work than installing .deb files. [19:21] Martijnvdc: Clear its history [19:21] ariakus: what do mean? Its expected not to give me access to flash drives when I put them in? I've never seen that before, not even on other 10.04 installs I have [19:21] atoi: Yep, .deb files are possibly the most wise suggestion here. [19:21] Lauterino: the problem is that i installed gnome-do AFTER removing the software [19:21] :) [19:22] !ask | jofo ← erUSUL, I already explained my problem an hour ago, and I'm still unsuccessfully trying to solve it. Here is it: Hello. I need some help. When I use the command man, I get the error message “man: la liste du manpath est trop longue”. In English, that should be more or less “man: the manpath list is too long”. Does any one has an idea of where is the problem and how to solve it? [19:22] Lauterino: so it shouldn't be in gnome-do's history [19:22] Can I do a upgrade from karmic to maverick? [19:22] jofo: You're probably not going to get more help if you ignore one of the suggestions. [19:22] Martijnvdc: Then the gnome-do application should be able to fix this for you. I assume its just about removing a line from a file. [19:22] jofo: "echo $MANPATH" what returns ? [19:22] nascentmind: not directly [19:22] ariakus, I have to install lts and then go up? [19:23] nascentmind: sadlyyes [19:23] erUSUL, it returns nothing at all. [19:23] I love gnome, soo great! [19:23] ariakus, if I install rc would it install all the packages again after the release? [19:23] no doubt\ [19:23] erUSUL, it returns nothing at all. (I mean: a white line) [19:23] nascentmind: probably minor upgrades [19:24] Hi, guys, Tell me, please, who or what creates dirs in /media and automounts flash drives in Ubuntu 8.04?

[19:26] vbooh: in 8.04 it was still hal or maybe devkit-disks [19:27] or could it be a problem with my drive? [19:27] erUSUL, That works. What should I do to get manpages without having to type LC_ALL=C ? [19:28] where can I read in dhcp options received on the current lease? /var/lib/dchp3/dhclient.leases is empty [19:28] erUSUL: hm, thx. It's HAL, i think.

[19:32] Excuse_Me_I_have: you want two have your mouse middle click when you press both left and right buttons?

Failed to retrieve share list from server'. All machines (including the netbook) are members of 'WORKGROUP'. Any ideas? [19:33] I am trying to resize a disk using the gparted livecd. Currently sda1 9.7GB, sda2 800MB, sda5 800 MB, unallocated 7.85GB. I can't grow the primary sda1, also I can't move the sda2 to the right without growing it. How can I grow sda1?

When i press both the right and left mouse buttons (one acting as a modifier for the other) it will not work. Almost as if there is only one button allowed to be pressed at a time in ubuntu.

Don't know why Evince does not open these files :-S [19:36] The mousewheel works mr jrib, but there is no function tied to it === mike is now known as Guest85786 [19:36] xangua: i meant being supported by ubuntu-mono theme and all [19:36] Excuse_Me_I_have: what I am getting at is that there is a feature in X that emulates middle click if you press both left and right buttons at the same time. Does that seem to be enabled? [19:36] doxdrum, varify that you have set the correct extension to the "open with" [19:36] erUSUL, When I open a guest session, the command man works perfectly. In which configuration file is described the manpath? [19:36] barraponto: any that uses gtk [19:36] ¿¿ [19:36] Hello. I'm having difficulty trying to file-share over my home network.

I have a bug to report (and maybe someone can suggest a fix?). I'm running Karmic on my Lenovo Thinkpad T410. When I use the Brightness up/down shortcut buttons (Fn+Home & Fn+End, respectively) I see a sliding bar showing that the brightness setting has changed, but the brightness doesn't actually reflect the change until the next time I logout/login. When I had Windows, it changed the brightness immediately. Any suggestions? [19:40] doxdrum: you are clicking "view file" you should be opening with "open with program..." [19:40] ariakus: The machines are visible from the 'Network' tree in the file browser, but double clicking on the desired machine results in the aforementioned error messag [19:40] doxdrum: you are clicking the wrong button [19:40] tew88 if you enter smb://machinename/sharename, does it work? [19:40] Guest85786: log a bug [19:40] Guest85786: I have a T60 and this was fixed in Lucid. [19:40] is anyone else having trouble getting to the us package archives, or is is just me? [19:40] i'm having trouble detecting intel based soundcards in lucid. [19:41] dajhorn, My bad, I'm actually running Lucid (10.04), not Karmic. [19:41] xangua, found an extention :P https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ahldefgplekckalfcolhhnljbbgaiboc?hl=en [19:41] So i have just learned that X emulates a 3rd mouse button upon sim-click of right and left. Does anyone know how i can look into and kill this setting? [19:41] /join #ubuntu-es [19:41] lucid plays sound only through phons [19:41] ariakus: 1) Where do I enter that? 2) As an example: a machine is called 'desktop' and it has a shared folder 'music' - smb://desktop/music ? [19:41] dajhorn, This was a fresh install of Lucid, with the 10.04.1 update. The bug still exists for me. [19:41] tew88: yes [19:42] tew88: in nAUtilus addtress bar [19:42] Excuse_Me_I_have: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input searhc for Emulate3Buttons I think [19:42] Guest85786: Do you have the tp-smapi package installed? You might need it. [19:42] ariakus: Hmm. I don't see an address bar. Has it been removed from the Netbook remix to save space? :| [19:43] why on the website for Ubuntu does it say that the 64 bit version is not recommended for daily users? [19:43] crimsonmane: no one knows [19:43] ikonia, Excuse_Me_I_have, I'm using "open with" and telling it to remember the application. It works..... but then ANY other file type is 'opened' with the PDF reader. B.t.w., the file command recognize it as PDF, not text. :-/ [19:43] surely someone must. someone made it, someone typed the message, it must be known [19:43] crimsonmane: Because it offers no benefits vice the support headaches it causes. [19:43] apt-get is failing with 'Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times.' but I don't get any other information, how can I see what failed? [19:43] crimsonmane: yes, of course. But no one here knows. It's fine to use, go for it [19:44] dajhorn, When I run `sudo apt-cache search tp-smapi` the only packages i find are hdapsd, tp-smapi-dkms, & tp-smapi-source. Which one should I look at? [19:44] tew88: tried ctrl+L? [19:44] Guest85786: The tp-smapi-dkms has drivers for some ThinkPad-specific hardware. The hdapsd is for parking the hard disk head if you drop the laptop. [19:45] i'm also having trouble getting the disc to boot from. other bootable discs work, but ubunti 10.10 isnt [19:45] Excuse_Me_I_have: and « man mousedrv » if you want the corresponding man page [19:45] is there any shortcut like ALT+CTRL+DEL in windows? [19:45] Excuse_Me_I_have: Why on earth would you like to not have this extraneous potential ? [19:45] dajhorn, So how do i get the pkg you were talking about? [19:45] ariakus: CTRL+L worked, but the hint didn't: 'Error: Failed to mount Windows share. Please select another viewer and try again.' [19:45] Guest85786: Install it like any other program. [19:46] i was hoping to have it as my sole OS [19:46] dajhorn, The dkms one? or should i look for one called just 'tp-smapi' [19:46] Sorry mates, I'm not from around here. Although I've heard that people using Ubuntu can mute specifik processes. How is this achieved? [19:46] tew88: does 'connect to server' menu item work? [19:46] is there shortcut like ALT+CTRL+DEL in windows [19:46] I'm not looking for a spoon feeding guide, I just need to know what plugins / programs are used to accomplish this?

The disk has 1 primary, 1 extended, and unallocated space at the end. gparted won't let me grow the primary (automatically changes the input fields back). How can I grow the primary? [19:47] root_op: mute specific processes, what do you mean ? [19:47] lol [19:47] I'd like to completely remove postgresql. It looks like while using purge instead of remove via apt-get removes config files, the data is still there [19:47] Suggestiosn? [19:47] ikonia, Well. For example if I were to use mocp, one could just mute that process. Keeping all other sound except from mocp. [19:48] mthorn: remove the data [19:48] mthorn: that's your data and not part of the install so doesn't get removed [19:48] how to customize sound properties and enable microphone? [19:48] root_op: Open the Sound Preferences panel, click the Applications tab, and mute the application. Only applications that are running are visible. [19:48] root_op: can that not be done within the sound mixer [19:48] dajhorn, Yeah I'm actually looking for what application is called from that since I'm a CLI user. [19:48] Not using GUI. [19:48] dajhorn, I installed the dkms pkg. Lemme restart the computer, then I'll come back to let you know if it worked. [19:48] lauterina: because it fracks with my games [19:49] root_op: if your using a command line, you can only have one audio application running at one [19:49] once [19:49] anyone??:( [19:49] ariakus: saying anyone is pointless, [19:49] ... I have despotify and mocp open as we speak. [19:49] root_op: on the command line ? how are you doing that ? [19:50] No wait, I'm not in like VT01. I'm in X, just not using any GUI applications in Awesome. [19:50] root_op: the gui applications are there to help you, use them, they manage the sound system [19:50] Hi, really sorry to land another problem on your collective plates, but I have a laptop with broadcom wireless g drivers I'm sure I've installed the drivers correctly, but now I'm not even getting the option to connect to a network wirelessly [19:51] I really dislike GUI applications. I like to be able to automate frequent stuff. [19:51] ariakus: Sorry it took so long (that menu doesn't exist in Netbook Remix... had to do some digging.) Same problem as before - does not work. [19:51] root_op: the gui is better than the command line for this type of functionality [19:51] root_op: use the gui [19:51] root_op: Use the pacmd program and/or the other pa* utilities. [19:51] ... *sigh* [19:51] Alright then, thanks anyway. [19:51] tew88: try smbclient from console [19:51] By the way, at what version did Ubuntu merge over to using pulseaudio?

What steps can I take to begin troubleshooting this, because it feels dangerous to kill it in the middle of installing a package [19:58] Ubuntu. Sound. Control panel. How? [19:58] Reinholder: From what I read of it, the solution is to keep the wifi switch on, remove ethernet, restart [19:58] yeah, but that's the problem - it's not giving me the option to even keep the wifi on [19:59] Reinholder You have a laptop/desktop? [19:59] laptop [19:59] Reinholder: Is there a sleep mode on your card that triggers this behaviour ? [19:59] Reinholder you have a hardswitch or key combo that turns on/off wifi? [20:00] hi guys i installed docky and the 1/4 of my screen is covered by a black screen ??? any solutions? [20:00] I have a hardswitch that allows me to turn wifi on or off - it isn't response [20:00] grigoriades: enable compositing [20:00] responsive* [20:00] Reinholder: If the switch is in the ON position, does a light light up? [20:00] how to enable compositing [20:00] yes [20:00] have noidea [20:01] My home is mounted on /net/home/, so apparmor prevents evince from working. I added a file to /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/local adding /net/home [20:01] Reinholder, so when you have the hardswitch on, ethernet out, restart computer, does your network manager show networks in range? [20:01] No [20:01] it only works on about half the machine I did that to. Any ideas? [20:02] Reinholder what laptop mfg/model do you have? [20:02] how to avvess SOUND control panel in UBUNTU LTS? [20:03] Compaq Presario V5000 - it has uses the Broadcom Wireless G hardware [20:03] Reinholder are you using ndiswrapper or default wifi driver? [20:03] I'm using whatever it is they installed after I followed the instructions on wireless.kernel.org [20:03] Is there some cli that I can use to get a city from a zip code? [20:03] Lauterino: nope, can't find it anywhere. i will keep trying :p [20:04] Martijnvdc: Alrighty! :) [20:05] Hey guys. [20:05] sorry about that rusivi [20:06] Anyway. I was directed to wireless.kernel.org, at which point I installed the B43 drivers through terminal...I assumed that would work [20:06] hey, Does some1 know , how could I get menu liek MAC os has , to my ubuntu ( 3d menu ? ) .. [20:06] anyone watches youtube fullscreen? [20:06] I have an Acer Aspire 5810TZ and I was curious about how to get the backlighting on it working again. [20:06] in firefox? [20:07] I mean, the lights work, but when I cut the juice from the battery, I can't dim the screen. [20:07] joonas: www.freshmeat.net Search in the mac section [20:07] thanks ;) [20:07] np [20:07] ;) [20:07] i'm using wubi. hd0 has windows, hd1 has ubuntu. however i just reinstalled windwos on hd0. so obviously the boot record has been removed. if i run wubi again, is it capable of repairing an install? or will it try to reformat === lucian is now known as bahamas [20:08] minnux, you can try, but to be on the safe side, run Super GRUB via CD or USB and pick Ubuntu through there. [20:08] Reinholder: What is the result of tpying at the Terminal: lspci | grep broadcom [20:08] greetings. Is "apt-get dist-upgrade" the correct way to update kernel? [20:09] i dont particularly like grub boot. kinda liked it through the windows boot menu [20:09] one second, bringing up terminal [20:09] :/ [20:09] personal preference ^___^ [20:09] minnux: no, add it manually [20:09] rusivi - not a thing [20:10] Reinholder k one sec [20:10] ok, thanks :) [20:10] Oh great, "Now tell me how", lol [20:10] Reinholder: It is case sensitive [20:11] Reinholder lspci | grep Broadcom [20:11] how to avvess SOUND control panel in UBUNTU LTS? [20:11] This can be an interresting article: "Why Microsoft never helps the community or people in any shape or form" (Unless they donate a cd worth 1 buck to some university that they later claim license mony from). Humanitarian?/I think not. [20:11] !ot > Lauterino [20:11] Lauterino, please see my private message [20:11] !ont [20:11] Anyone? Mi conection comes and goes. I've not idea how to fix it. [20:11] rusivi - I pasted your command exactly as prescibed, and nothing [20:11] * tiox1 pokes pokes [20:12] Lauterino: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, not general discussion, please use #ubuntu-offtopic for that. [20:12] I am asking: Is there a Linux equal to the Acer drivers and software Vista has for my laptop? [20:12] tiox1: who knows [20:12] Specifically those that can give the laptop 5 hours+ on battery, instead of the 3 I have now, [20:13] hi [20:13] hi there [20:13] tiox1: the acer power stuff is in the kernel. What hardware isn't working? [20:13] help me with damned sound control panel alreadym [20:13] anybody tested cgroups tools? [20:13] Ugh. [20:13] tiox1: log a bug with acpi then [20:13] it shouldn't ber hard [20:13] tiox1, you can tweak power management profile [20:13] Lauterino: i'm thinking this game was once in my gnome menu, and the options i'm getting from gnome-do are exactly what was in the gnome menu! (play game, uninstall, and read readme) [20:13] I have a little problem with it on other system [20:14] ariakus: system > preferences > sound [20:14] but I founded it only in ubuntu so I'm asking you, guys [20:14] Martijnvdc: /usr/share/menu perhaps ? [20:14] it's not there [20:14] Martijnvdc: I can look it up but im leaving it to you ;) [20:14] chlorek: sorry, don't know, myself :P [20:14] 4th from the bottom under screensaver araikus [20:14] I'm having a strange issue, im unable to mount any drives at all, hard drive usb drive anything, says im not authorized [20:15] Reinholder: lshw | grep Broadcom [20:15] I have a passwordless SSH session, but fstab won't automount it. It needs a password when using sudo mount -a [20:15] Okay, on my computer, there was software to do some things. One of those things were to disable optical media access when on battery because it sucks power. [20:15] Lauterino: nope, it only has one file, nothing else hidden or anything :p [20:15] (I.E. disable the CD drive) [20:15] dpkg-reconfigure worked [20:15] i read them all aloud but nothing like sound is there [20:15] says warning, you should run this as a super user [20:15] Another thing was, brightness adjust actually worked. [20:15] tiox1: acer us a lot of software power management stuff instead of decentcomponents which is why they are cheap. Windows probably has some special driver to extend the power [20:15] * tiox1 shrugs [20:15] hi everybody! [20:15] Martijnvdc: Itll be named in the proximity of the game you installed.. [20:16] HOW to install SOUND contorl panel? [20:16] * ATMarsden smiles [20:16] shanepardue, that's expected behaviour for sudo in an ssh session [20:16] ariakus: pavucontrol [20:16] tiox1: then i'd websearch to see if the feature is available in Linux [20:16] a question about samba if anybody can help me [20:16] mmaksimov: How do you get an ssh session to automount with fstab then? [20:16] ah it says the programme lsh is not installed - would you like me to? [20:17] ariakus: apt-cache search sound | grep mixer ,you can use those to control sound some [20:17] wellwhy it was not insalled by default? [20:17] shanepardue, sorry, please disregard my post, I misunderstood you. Sorry again. [20:17] Reinholder: lzh ? [20:17] ariakus: not all users need it, its optional [20:17] lzh, or lsh? [20:18] Hello! I recommended Ubuntu to a friend and gave him a LiveCD. He also installed it but he complains about to slow updates via apt-get. In apt.sources are only Austrian Mirrors. Then we disabled IPv6. He said that nothing changed, the update is still very slow. I told him that his patchwork connection to his neighbors internet is the problem but he says that on Windows everything wents faster (hahahaha...). Any ideas? [20:18] ariakus: you can also search software centre, there should be screenshots too [20:18] ActionParsnip: Dont we want the latest and greatest pulseaudio soundcontroller you think ? [20:18] So I'm having this problem still: I plug in a usb flash drive and it doesn't show up under places or computer. I look under media and a folder is created with the name of the flash drive. Properites->Permmissions says owner is 1002 - user#1002 and Group is pulse for some reason. I can't access this drive without dropping to root. How do I fix this so that I Ubuntu sees I can access flash drives (and external HDD) when I plug them in? [20:18] santi... have you told him to stop the blasphemy? we can't hep until he does! [20:19] I have an ubuntu server 10.04 with samba. when i copy one *.iso file from server to my desktop (Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 installed) I have 30MB/s speed, when I copy the same file from Windows 7 speed is 10MB/s.... [20:19] santi: try a different mirror? [20:19] [20:19] Lauterino: the sound still works without it. There's only 700mb in a cd iso and the space can be used for more fundamental p [20:19] Apps [20:19] ActionParsnip: its 350 kilobytes or so i think.. [20:19] alright i cant do anything with drives now, i cant format, mount nothing is working [20:19] jrib: And what should we/he do when the whole internet wents too slow? [20:19] ActionParsnip: I feel it will be ok. [20:19] pepo: try enablingthe tcp nowait option in smb.conf [20:19] it worked just fine the other day now nothing is working [20:20] Lauterino: found the files! they were in ~/.config/menus/ [20:20] santi: is that the case? [20:20] pepo: win7 uses a weird new samba wheras ubuntu uses the original [20:20] it's enabled [20:20] Lauterino: thank you very much for your help! [20:20] hello all. ive been googling and cannot find a way to determine which driver is my USB wifi card using. can someone please give me a hand? TIA! [20:20] pepo: i'd ask in ##windows then,windowsisat fault [20:20] Martijnvdc: Hmmz, thats a badly configured place. The hidden dirs should always be named after the binary installed [20:21] Martijnvdc: No problem. [20:21] and what does it mean? [20:21] Lauterino: well, it was software installed through wine [20:21] Martijnvdc: Aha! ... yeah, windows /Lol [20:22] jrib: He didn't told me the problem very clear. He said that the internet is faster on windows that the update on ubuntu. That comparison makes no sense for me but I think it could be the internet too? [20:22] the same problem with other clients on Mac desktops (!) [20:22] pepo: well if ubuntu is acting properly then the settingsare fine. Windows is performing poorly so it must be a windows issue [20:22] santi: you need to find out [20:22] Martijnvdc: They have no culture of beeing strict in the coding they do for large parts. [20:22] pepo: linux sticks to the standards. Mac and windows dont [20:22] Lauterino: hehe [20:22] jrib: I'm going to ask him now [20:22] hey guys [20:22] pepo: you could ask in #samba [20:23] True deal, they dont even see why they code badly [20:23] u know how ctrl+alt+printscrn+k opens up print screen for multiple desktops? [20:23] ActionParsnip: windows and mac ARE standards [20:23] thank you for help ;) [20:23] where do you upload screenshots again? [20:23] internet being faster on windows, versus the update on ubuntu = apples/oranges comparison. [20:23] u know how ctrl+alt+printscrn+k opens up print screen for multiple desktops? [20:23] where do you upload screenshots again? [20:24] nevermind i fixed my own issue, drives where NTFS had to get NTFS Config to get them to work [20:24] ariakus: Windows and Mac are endorsed by ISO? [20:24] maxneedshelp: try imageshack.us [20:24] ariakus: sure but they don't adhere to the defacto standards like linux does. They modify them to suit there needs but call it the same thing [20:24] thank you ariakus [20:24] ActionParsnip: they improve them to suit their needs [20:25] ariakus: the samba in win7 is qquite different to the xp one. There's a whole slew of extra authentication stuff which isn't in the spec [20:25] can anyone tell me what their dialog box on print screen says when you open up the multiple desktop printscreen (ctrl+alt+PrtSc+k)? [20:25] can anyone tell me what their dialog box on print screen says when you open up the multiple desktop printscreen (ctrl+alt+PrtSc+k)? [20:26] nikon_: nothing for me [20:26] ariakus: yes that's my point. They "improve" it but when operating systems using the iso standard protocol, it doesn't work and you get situations like these [20:26] 'Hopefully this is a quick question. I just setup an ubuntu server (10.04); can I prevent apt from automatically installing x-windows? (for example, I'd like to install cacti, but I dont want all the excess x-windows stuff that apt wants to install along with it)? TIA! [20:26] ariakus: so the "improved" one isn't the standard samba, its some proprietary nonsense [20:26] coredata: you can tell apt you don't want recommends and suggested packages if that's the issue [20:27] because standard samba is crippled to throw competitors back [20:27] ariakus: xp uses standard samba andibet if you download off it you will get 30mbps whereas win7 etc only get 10mbps [20:27] jrib: well some of the x packages it wants to install are suggested, the rest are under 'extra packages' -- can the extra stuff also be disabled? [20:28] ariakus: You can also reverse that good or bad statement. Sometimes packagers are known do their best not to let the users have the best software by screwing up all kinds of things in the software they graciously recieved from upstream coders. This can also be due to the people doing this having a grudge with downstream or simply because they opened up a company that rivals the software they package (For shame, For shame) [20:28] ariakus: no samba is samba. If company's want to break standards then their users will suffer [20:28] coredata: I don't know what extra packages are, where are you seeing them? [20:28] depmod, which controls module dependancy for the kernel, thinks my current kernel is 2.6.31-wl yet uname -r disagrees [20:29] my system is broken === chuck__ is now known as cf0531 [20:29] ariakus: But then we send them to siberia :) [20:29] jrib: example, when i enter 'apt-get install cacti' I get three sections of stuff: "The following extra packages will be installed:", "Suggested packages:", and finally "The following NEW packages will be installed:" [20:30] Have anyone here experienced making a password for your router, then 36 hours later find that the router dismisses the password without it, the router, being hijacked? [20:30] what are the major differences between fedora and ubuntu, i mean, in the most basic sense, as far as just os capabilities. the screenshots make it appear the same as ubuntu [20:30] coredata: and if you tell apt not to install neither recommends nor suggested? [20:30] OttifantSir: try reset [20:30] depmod, which controls module dependancy for the kernel, thinks your current kernel is 2.6.31-wl yet uname -r disagrees [20:30] cf0531: In screenshots you see gnome, kde... === Noia is now known as Guest82384 [20:30] cf0531: Ubuntu is based on Debian, Fedora, well, I don't know [20:30] major ones are in the command line, no? [20:30] cf0531: Yes [20:30] fedora is red hat [20:30] cf0531: fedora is redat playground [20:30] think [20:31] ariakus: I did that 36 hours ago. Set a new password, one not used before. Now the router says the password, which I pasted from a file, is invalid. [20:31] ihr seid doch kleine ficker [20:31] are there things that fedora does better than ubuntu or is it just user preference [20:31] cf0531: Yep, its been working great for the last 12 years.

[20:33] my instructor touts redhat like its the holy grail thoguh [20:33] coredata: try just adding --no-install-recommends to your apt-get command. I don't think apt-get will try to install suggested packages by default [20:33] cf0531: all free distros are bad [20:33] yeah very new [20:33] cf0531, well redhat is nice if you want to deal with rpms personally I dont...

[20:35] coredata: you can add it to apt.conf if you want (see man page for syntax) [20:36] coz_: it does not [20:36] what commercial dists of linux are out there [20:36] Lauterino: Well, in my opinion KDE is a bit cooler for home-desktops. I think Gnome is for bussines [20:37] cf0531: www.distrowatch.com or use android etc etc [20:37] ariakus, what does not? [20:37] Misterio: kde is out, gnome is smooth :) [20:37] coz_: it is too complex and non-standard to be learning distro [20:37] I think KDE/gnome boils down to taste - not, one is designed for X, the other is designed for Y [20:38] ariakus, no .. I have moved nearly 300 windows users over to ubuntu...not a single problem or complaint about complexity ..of course most of them are general users of computers [20:38] alecbenzer: I agree. They both look the same at the terminal. [20:38] Lauterino: hehehe :P; well, I go to have dinner, bye :) [20:38] ariakus, otherwise ubuntu would not be #1 distribution worldwide if it were that complex for users to learn linux [20:38] alecbenzer: KDE/QT used to be non-free. Has that really changed ? [20:39] Lauterino: it definitely has. [20:39] coz_: Linux!=GNOME or whichever DE they work with [20:39] trying to install " gnome2-globalmenu" got APt + the key, but when i try to install , i get error : E: Couldn't find package gnome-globalmenu [20:39] , whats wrong ? [20:39] Misterio: Cheers! [20:39] Lauterino: KDE was always free; QT had restrictions, but they're gone now. [20:39] I'm no expert - but hasn't it? [20:39] how to customize sound qual;ity in Ubuntu? [20:39] ariakus, said ubuntu was 'too comp1ex and non-standard' [20:39] ariakus, but the numbers tell the story...it is indeed a gentle learning curve for moveing from windows to linux [20:39] LjL: KDE is built with QT you know... Eeek [20:39] 1o1 nothing cou1d be further from the truth [20:40] Injection33, which ? [20:40] Lauterino: yes, but the KDE codebase itself was free. anyway, it's all free now, has been for a long while now. [20:40] Lauterino: under the GPL, specifically [20:40] coz_ which what [20:40] !ot [20:40] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

[20:41] trying to install " gnome2-globalmenu" got APt + the key, but when i try to install , i get error : E: Couldn't find package gnome-globalmenu,whats wrong ? [20:41] LjL: Free would have meant squat if QT wasnt free and KDE was built ontop of it (Better to code something new then) [20:41] Lauterino: i never argued what it meant, i was just stating fact. [20:41] Hi all! I did a network installation of Ubuntu Lucid, but when it said something like "this installation only includes the core packages; please select any additional packages you want to install", I accidentally went ahead with the installation without selecting any additional packages. When it first boots, I get a command line instead of a desktop / GUI. How do I install all the packages that would come standard with an ubuntu desktop installati [20:41] on? [20:41] is it just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [20:41] ariakus, have you looked at alsamixer? open a terminal type alsamixer see what you can do from there first...if not improved try going over to either the #pulseaudio or #alsa channels [20:41] LjL: My fact was clear :) .. ltr [20:41] omnomnOMINOUS: Yes. [20:42] Lauterino: this is also offtopic so let's continue in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to [20:42] Jordan_U: All right, just wanted to make sure. I'll try that.

[20:44] mmaksimov, yes, I have even created a root shell and still it won't die. I can't install any further packages until this dies [20:44] demonspork: It's a zombie process then, which means its parent isn't reaping it. You can get rid of the process by killing its parent, then init will reap dpkg. [20:44] it's an ncurses interface, after you're in top, hit h for commands.

[20:59] ariakus: i have it working now on a ATI card... works like a charm and i kinda like it now.... [20:59] evian, well when you boot the live cd and hit enter when the little keyboard icon appears you should see the menu one choice being check cd for errors [20:59] there is no error, it just asks for the CD it already had installed from till that point [20:59] I wonder what the bare minimum amount of room for /boot would be?

[21:00] is there any other ideea of testing from console that I could do? [21:01] I am now stucked in this phase [21:01] no errors, the consoles available [21:01] evian, I assume you check md5sum for the downloaded iso image ....I would also run the "check cd for errors" optons as well... if that doesn work I would reburn the cd at the lowest speed preferably 1x and try again [21:01] on the VT1 just keeps asking for insertion of cd labeled ... [21:01] nimbiotics: lucky guess lol [21:01] what would happen if i connect a laptop with dhcp if i have two DNS servers running in the same network segment, two different ip range pools, the only difference would be the default gateway? [21:02] did all this, created a bunch of cds in different speeds and from images verified with hashes [21:02] evian, better still...download the minimal install cd... it will give you choices , including server installation.. and download directly from the servers [21:02] istevenmon, two dns or dhcp servers? [21:02] evian, minimal install is not livecd but rather text install like the alternate cd [21:02] mmaksimov: sorry DHCP servers [21:02] hey guys, is there a way to copy my custom theme from my desktop to my laptop? [21:03] you can sync them [21:03] which one is it. i cannot seem to find it now on the site... probably because I am so upset that I cannot get to the shore with this issue [21:03] meh3, mmm interesting question [21:03] istevenmon I believe it will pick a random one [21:03] Hey It seems I got a problem with suspend and 10.04 on my laptop. Where should I talk about it ? [21:03] meh3, I have never tried to move a custom theme like that unless it was packages [21:03] do you have swap space? [21:03] i don't think you can suspend without it [21:03] coz_, packages how? [21:03] meh3: I could be wrong, but I think Ubuntu One is supposed to offer something like that. Maybe start reading up about it? [21:03] mmaksimov: so there wont be operational issues? [21:03] like the ones ready to download? [21:04] el_seano, if it can, sure [21:04] AjdeGuraj5 [21:04] meh3, well you would have to gather all of the themes images files etc and package them not sure how difficutlt that might be [21:04] Can I restrict my bandwidth somehow?

[21:07] is this the text installer image: ubuntu-10.04.1-alternate-i386.iso ? [21:08] ariakus: like when you Alt + Tab or something? [21:08] evian, yes but I would download the minimal install cd instead [21:08] yes, or just vlick windows [21:08] hi everybody! [21:08] evian, minimal install installs all current updates [21:08] what're the specs on your computer?

[21:10] yes [21:10] ok, I will remember this [21:11] ariakus: My guess is that it's just a little slow for the Gnome DE to run smoothly. You could try choosing a more sparse theme and turning off Desktop Effects under System->Preferences->Appearence [21:11] mp3s are perfectly decoding on Pentium 1 so it's not a question of specs [21:11] I've installed RT via apt, and want to install an extension, but it won't build via cpan because the RT modules aren't in the system's @INC .... any suggestions for how to build and install my perl extension in this setup?

[21:20] look... this thing depends on each installed system... then it created a whole bunch of scripts to load the system... and they're related to the system where grub resides... cause i have a second linux in the same system... then... that stupid system just fails to load cause MOUNT the / of the system owning grub!!! [21:20] m0ar: I try to suspend my laptop and not working. [21:20] i need some help with video drivers [21:20] this is so damn stupid! [21:20] inglor: tuxonice, uswsusp?

[21:22] inglor: nvm, it's suspend no hibernate [21:22] m0ar: yea [21:22] the system booted using the scripts to load the recovery system, using the system one, and... and guess what... i don't want to think what is happening inside those two systems [21:22] m0ar: the think is that suspend before logging in, works! [21:22] lol @ ranting [21:22] inglor: inglor as earlier said, I have no idea of how ubuntu handles that stuff [21:22] m0ar: and after I log in and suspend, it seems it does all the work and then simply restarts. It's like something keeping it awake. [21:23] ok [21:23] being... somehow calmed [21:23] m0ar: ok thanks [21:23] cablop: Apparently [21:23] how does dev/mapper work? [21:23] i have a question [21:23] GODOFTHOR, just ask [21:24] i think /dev/mapper is working independent of the system, cause it is mounting the devices and no reading the /etc/fstab [21:24] can i move ubuntu from a amd desktop to a laptop thats intel based with out a reinstall. [21:24] GODOFTHOR: i think you can if you care about the kernel === bost is now known as BostX [21:25] @cablop@ what? [21:25] if i were you i'll install the required headers before doing that... and also making a backup [21:25] bbl [21:25] required headers? [21:25] i mean if you compiled the kernel or got a kernel too specific for amd, then installl a syuitable kernel [21:25] what thehell is avahi and why I need it? [21:26] ok [21:26] i installed the x86 version of ubnuntu [21:26] i think ubuntu is ot the same as 5 years ago... [21:26] i mean, the community [21:26] GODOFTHOR: Never even thought of it, but if they're both the same, 32-/64-bit, and you installed a GRUB-loader, fixed the UUIDs of the disks to be mounted, it could possibly be done. [21:26] it's your DNS daemon ariakus, you probably want to leave it [21:26] can anybody help me with conky? [21:27] GODOFTHOR: then the x86 version will run with not many problems in the new computer [21:27] elit3m1ke: what you want to do with conky ?

[21:28] hey, I just put ubuntu studio 10.10 beta on my notebook, how in the world do I connect to my open wireless g network? Does ubuntu require you run @ least wep or wpa? [21:28] gparted is running and running ,,, Will it stop [21:28] ? [21:29] is there any diagnostics for wifi/network hardware in ubuntu? i'm afraid i just blewout my wifi radio [21:29] ubuntu_: what did you tell gparted to partition? [21:29] GODOFTHOR: can you resize the disk? [21:30] Can someone tell me how much time it will take to resize 500 GB HDD into 300GB HDD using gparted [21:30] jags: I had a similar issue in not being able to connect to open networks. Turned out to be the driver I was using for my Wireless NIC. Do you know what card you're using? [21:30] ubuntu_: How long has it been running? Did you start it from a CD or the installed system? [21:30] in my opinion you can install a second linux on it if you can get enough free space to create a small ubuntu... just in case things go very wrong [21:30] My laptop disk? no its quite small 80GB i got some stuff backed up to it. [21:30] how do i go from 386 to 686 i cant figure it out [21:30] ubuntu_: IDE or SATA controller? (note, sata drives can and do run in IDE mode sometimes) [21:31] ubuntu_ it wil depends on many factors [21:31] bobbio123: there's no 386 support any longer [21:31] gardar, cablop SATA HDD [21:31] gardar, cablop , I am worrying that is should not corrupt my data [21:31] el_seano, not sure on the card, shouldn't I beable to bring up the wlan0 interface and use iwlist to find an open network? [21:31] ubuntu_: i'm gartral type gart[tab] gardar will yell at you [21:31] ubuntu_ i think you can run a test before and make an idea.... if you see it is going to take too much time you can consider a different alternative [21:32] @cablop@ If the kernel panics will the file system remain in tact? [21:32] jags: In theory, yes. But your ability to do so depends on the driver your card is using. [21:32] jags: Just a sec. [21:32] elit3m1ke: sorry if you cannot define the problem I can't help you. A general "not working" or "cannot get it done" it's not defining the problem. [21:32] anyone know the command to bring up a network device offhand? [21:32] ubuntu_ don't you have a secondary disk? a fast way is to move all out and recreate the partitions from scratch, or maybe to create an lvm to hold dinamic size "partitions" [21:33] jags: type 'lspci | grep Network' [21:33] GODOFTHOR: in theroy, yes, if your running EXT3 or 4, anything else, again yes, but you'll have bad files somewhere onles it was over empty space [21:33] ok, ill give it a shot.

Or simple unbranded media players, or phones? [22:48] !details | Braber01 [22:48] Braber01: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:48] I'm running 10.04 and I've installed wine and I am trying to install from a windows cd but I need to make it executable and am unable to change permissions .wHAT SHOULD i DO? === HolyCow_ is now known as FreedomCow [22:48] Hi I was having trouble getting something to scp to my desktop so I decided to ssh to my laptop however now I don't know how to open this *.ods file with Xwindows with ssh [22:48] billy_, most should work, usually when flash drives don't work they have some weird software on them [22:49] sorry about caps [22:49] you mean like an executable? [22:49] billy_, yes [22:49] billy_, certain drives have their own software on there to manage them [22:49] can cause problems [22:49] ah, and if it were a windoze executable that would mess it up? [22:50] billy_, usually you can simply reformat the drive, and the partition containing the executable remains intact [22:50] thanks scott. [22:51] I tried to do that command fairy, but it says that it cannot open, no such directory [22:51] Braber01: ODS files are OpenOffice Calc spreedsheets [22:51] np [22:51] !multiverse [22:51] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [22:51] i need help, i have sony vaio, my wireless is not working although i can scan and try to connect to my SID it keep trying to connect and suddenly give me error that it doesn't established this SID, i try to open from windows/Mobile it works perfectly only under Ubunut it give me like this why? [22:51] another question, can you format a flash drive with ntfs so it can be read by ubuntu , vista ? [22:51] ilovefairuz: yes I know how can I get one to open when I'm using SSH? [22:52] billy_, fat32 would be more appropriate because of the size and overhead. [22:52] billy_, both os's can read fat32 [22:52] how do I make a windows cd executable? [22:52] kad__ what encryption type (if any) is your wifi router currently using? [22:52] well my daughter want to put HD video files on her flash drive and can't because it's fat32 [22:52] rusivi, WPA [22:52] rob0917, This is Ubuntu support not windows [22:52] billy_, then use NTFS [22:53] billy_, How big is this thing? [22:53] billy_, ubuntu can read and write NTFS [22:53] kad__ for now, try WPA2-PSK, WEP64, WEP128 and let us know if any work for you. [22:53] well edbian, she would use this flash drive here on this ubuntu machine [22:53] Braber01: use ssh -X option to enabling X forwarding and try the command: oocalc filename.ods [22:53] edbian, I'm running ubuntu ,I'm trying to install a cd with wine [22:53] so the next question is does ext4 which this ubuntu is on, store large HD video files? [22:54] rob0917, You're trying to install a CD? [22:54] rob0917: which program are you trying to install? [22:54] billy_, yes but windows wont read ext by default, I [22:54] billy_, yes but windows doesn't read ext natively [22:54] 'd use ntfs [22:54] ha sorry i realize both me and edbian are responding [22:54] ') [22:54] billy_, (ext is a better fs) [22:54] scott_ino, ha ha [22:54] rusivi, watchtower cd [22:54] scott_ino, Didn't mean to butt in! :P [22:54] rusivi, still same problem [22:54] rob0917: one sec i'll check that out [22:54] edbian, the more the merrier [22:54] OK, so she formats the flash drive in NTFS, puts the HD files from vista on it and then this ubuntu machine can read it? [22:55] billy_, yes [22:55] has anybody tried an upgrade from 9.10->10.4->10.10 without reboot inbetween? (Got a picky raid-controller) [22:55] rusivi, I need to make the cd executable [22:55] excellent. We have lives on here and it can produce blu-ray format files. [22:55] billy_, yes, You'll need to make sure you have NTFS-3g package installed, not sure if it's installed by default on ubuntu [22:56] rob0917 Is this what your looking to get working -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1485 [22:56] scott, thanks. The only thing we have missing is to actually author the blu-ray image, but we can burn it as a data disk and play it on our PS3 [22:56] rusivi, Let me check it out ,thanks [22:57] billy_, linux authoring can be done, not sure about blu-ray but linux has all kind of neat transcoding/authoring tools available [22:57] rusivi, yes that's it [22:57] hey, is there a way to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04? [22:58] scott, yes, lives can certainly transcode. we put sd video and hd video all in one stream and let lives transcode it into the blu-ray format [22:58] and then burn it onto blu-ray disc [22:58] then PS3 can play it [22:58] billy_, seems like you have that aspect taken care of;) i don't deal with physical media anymore as I let my server do the work ;) [22:58] rusivi, I need to change the cd to executable [22:59] cool. you guys are way more knowlegeble than me [22:59] rob0917: With WINE installed, you should be able to go to the .exe installer for the CD right click and open with WINE [22:59] rob0917, right-click, properties/permissons/click box that says run as executable [23:00] rob0917, check the Wine-HQ app database to make sure it can work in wine [23:00] another question, I see these guys talking about wine. does maverick have more complete wine configuration capability? [23:00] rusivi, I get an error message that the file needs to be executable but I'm unable to change it [23:00] hello all. I have a general question.. Which distro should i use for a usb key bootable system to quickly troubleshoot pcs? [23:01] Classic: i suggest ubuntu [23:01] Classic, Build your own! ;) [23:01] rob0917 try opening it via a Terminal, change directory to the executable, then WINE install.exe or whatever the program name is. [23:01] i'm using ubuntu 10.04 , i'm asking how to have/setup what's considered to be like webdav in windows ? [23:01] billy_, in my experience wine is only good for certain things, I'd check the app database to see if your program has a gold rating or higher before even considering it, otherwise get yourself a virtual machine like virtualbox and run windows in it [23:01] classic, why not the latest and greatest? maverick? [23:01] system rescue cd might be good, I find it quite useful [23:01] rusivi, ok thanks [23:01] what do i need to do to get google earth working? [23:01] !maverick [23:01] Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:02] scott_ino if a program is not in gold/platinum status, please bug it, the WINE/Ubuntu dev's want to know about it! [23:02] :) [23:02] rusivi, of course ;) [23:02] scott, is virtual box available thru the software sources here on ubuntu? [23:03] can anyone help me make Ubuntu automatically mount all partitions at startup? I know I have to edit the fstab file, but I am not sure what mount options I should use [23:03] billy_, go to their website, they have two different versions [23:03] billy_, it's very easy to setup [23:03] thanks scott [23:03] np [23:03] !mount | Brad404 [23:03] Brad404: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [23:03] anyone use apt-rpm to install rpms on ubuntu? === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [23:03] that sounds like a terrible idea [23:04] and indeed it is, use alien to convert the package [23:04] billy_, maverick? i will take a look [23:04] never heard of it [23:04] alrighty ilove [23:05] is there a LaTeX channel here on Freenode? [23:05] oh lol [23:05] uhh #latex ? [23:05] never mind I found out [23:05] oh, and one more final question: is the adobe 64-bit flash player plugin for firefox out and working? [23:05] i mean some distro that would be a full install under a gig [23:06] hello, i love music, and scrobbling, would u reccommend rhtythmbox or songbird? [23:06] Brad404: one that I used for internal partition auto-mounting was Storage Device Manager available from Ubuntu Software Center [23:06] mamece2: banshee [23:06] Brad404: it was set it, and forget it [23:06] mamece2: songbird is not developed anymore, i recommend you don't use it [23:06] ejv banshee? why? [23:06] billy_, check out alien for .rpm conversion, but you shouldn't need it for pretty much anything as there is probably a .deb out there somewhere [23:06] magnetron oic [23:06] mamece2: cuz it's the best: http://banshee.fm/ [23:06] hi [23:06] Guys, when you use the "make" command in the terminal to compile the program I receive this error: cd src && make [23:06] make[1]: Entering directory `/root/tfn2k/src' [23:06] gcc -Wall -O3 disc.c -o disc [23:06] disc.c: In function 'main': [23:06] disc.c:24: warning: implicit declaration of function 'exit' [23:06] DsDude: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:11] mosheunn: grab your livecd [23:11] ejv i just dont like to install too much apps just to try because i came from windows and windows get slow if u install and unisntall a lot of programs, will this happen to ubuntu too? [23:11] mosheunn: press shift button at boot to get to the grub menu, choose the safe mode [23:11] bye === post is now known as Guest15697 [23:12] mamece2: yea that's nonsense in linux land, don't be afraid to install something, it can be easily removed [23:12] mamece2: here's the PPA for it, so you can have cutting edge builds: https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa [23:12] safe mode ubuntu server anyone ?

[23:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/506841/ [23:14] ah - could I talk now? [23:14] sorry about that [23:15] mamece2: the latest builds of banshee very slowly make their way into the official Ubuntu repository(ies). By adding launchpad into your third party sources, you give yourself access to the build team's updates, so you don't have to wait for Ubuntu to approve and add. [23:15] anyone know where the compiz config is located want to back up my settings [23:15] I just found the sound test function and it seems to work - but I get no sound from flash. I've been googling but no websites offer a solution [23:15] mamece2 - windows won't get to slow if you install too many apps and Linux will get slow, just like Windows, if there are a lot of apps running and there is not enouph real memory for them [23:15] so, no one knows? [23:15] ino, but i mean to install and uninstall programs always left archives [23:15] mamece2: the process is outlined on the website [23:16] mamece2: if the programs you install/deinstall leave files floating around that is either a) a problem with the package manager b) config files which won't matter or c) files which are meant to be left around [23:16] I wanted to find image files for web pages I visited recently using firefox [23:16] ok [23:16] Could someone direct me to a tutorial or walk me through building and installing cdrtools 3.0?

What should I be looking at to diagnose the issue?! === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [23:31] mamece2, i see,well all apps work the same,they have to scan ipod [23:31] ejv so i can use it to open and recover those files, isn't it? [23:32] http://zip.users.flashfingaz.de/upload/daten/Bildschirmfoto.png <-- please help :/ [23:32] Hello. I'm looking for a good Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with an integrated debugger. Primarily for C and Python. Can someone point me in the right direction. It must be FOSS. [23:32] cablop: that's the idea, first you need to decrypt it properly and mount it [23:32] dlbike76: won't code::blocks do the job? [23:32] FreedomCow: is the sound problem only on flash? [23:33] dlbike76 - I know of no decent BSD licensed IDEs, but if your ok with just OSS then code::blocks should be decent [23:33] cablop: if you used a nonstandard cipher, offsets, skip sector, initiliazation vector, luks, etc. you NEED to specify those. [23:33] ^_^ [23:33] collosi - it seems so. the sound test preferences "test" button works [23:33] and this is the only other sound source I have [23:33] I don't have a disk to test with [23:33] im outta here, good luck [23:33] * ejv afk [23:34] hey is 10.10 update available right from 10.04? [23:34] FreedomCow: have you tried restarting pulse [23:34] soraya the problem i've got is that if i reboot the laptop rhythmbox has to scan again all over from the start my external HD [23:34] collosi - no idea how to do that [23:34] merlin2049er: it will [23:35] ejv, it seems that cryptsetup luksOpen dm-crypt_partition dev_mapper would work... [23:35] ok great [23:35] FreedomCow: run this in a terminal $killall pulseaudio [23:35] collosi - does it have be as root? [23:36] $ pkill pusleaudio $ pgrep pulseaudio 5800 [23:36] FreedomCow: no, shouldn't need to [23:36] ok [23:36] done [23:36] sorry - the 5800 was extranious [23:36] anybody know how to fix vlc? --> http://zip.users.flashfingaz.de/upload/daten/Bildschirmfoto.png [23:36] i uninstall empathy and i want it back i pannel,how can i do that ? [23:37] does anyone knows,or can tell me [23:37] aeon-ltd collosi - pulseaudio has been killed [23:37] i install the app [23:37] but my name does not show in pannel [23:37] like before [23:37] FreedomCow: try running flash again, by the way what version of ubuntu and flash are you running [23:37] Soraya: have you tried, right click add to panel? is it one of those applets? [23:37] when the new ubuntu 10.10 drops can i just upgrade from my 10.04 or do i have to format the drive and install clean? [23:38] hi folks - is there some command i can run to find what apps i have on my system that depend on the mono cli? [23:38] in fresh installation it comes displaying my name by default,no i dont see that [23:39] collosi - 9.04; but I have no control over the installation [23:39] flash - checking now [23:39] when the new ubuntu 10.10 drops can i just upgrade from my 10.04 or do i have to format the drive and install clean? [23:40] i do that add to pannel to add shortcuts to my pannel [23:40] here we go again, banshee starts to scan all the music in my external HD :'( [23:40] Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115 [23:40] im digging this ubuntu [23:40] i dont need that,in this case [23:40] all the music apps are the same? [23:40] Chaos2358: just update [23:40] free software, cant moan [23:40] billy_: well if you try to uninstall it shouldn't come up with dependency errors? [23:40] i need the empathy applet to display in pannel [23:40] z00m: what about better free software? [23:40] FreedomCow: try installing this $sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [23:40] with my name like factory defautl [23:40] Soraya: right clic in the panel> add > indicator applet [23:41] FreedomCow: if you are running flash 9 that should help, i think. [23:41] collosi: unforentely I don't have root access. is that the only way to fix it? or there some way I could install it on a user-by-user basis? [23:41] aeon-ltd: yes - i didn't want to use a sledge hammer [23:41] i will find winamp for linux [23:41] xangua, i have those [23:42] aeon-ltd, k3b is nice, simlar to nero and free [23:42] bargin [23:42] mamece2: ther is no winamp for linux, there is a player that can use winamp skins [23:42] mamece2: search 'winamp' in the software center [23:43] xangua :'( winamp is the best, all these players are the same, they start to scan my external HD EVERYTIME i open them... [23:44] * aeon-ltd thinks extended or extra featured music players are ridiculous [23:44] hi guys. i've got an issue with a dell notebook here. i can't switch back from console onto X because Fn + Function keys won't work [23:44] FreedomCow: seems like others have had issues with Flash and 9.04 and a possible fix does require root privileges to fix. Take a look here http://newtoubuntu.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/ubuntu-904-no-sound-with-flash-videos/ [23:44] hi [23:44] I am using exim4 with ubuntu and I am confused with the configuration because of all the "constant" paramters such as MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS [23:45] I am not sure where or how they are defined [23:45] and about this external HD scanning ive found a lot of people asking for help but getting no asnwer === Liammm is now known as Liammm|AFK [23:46] collosi - alright. Does ubuntu have a method of installing programs on a per-user basis or no (like changing PREFIX to ~) [23:46] xangua, i have those === ubuntu_ is now known as hutch [23:46] is there anyone here who use music players from an external HD? [23:46] hello world [23:46] oh thought k3b had support to make audio cd's from mp3 [23:46] hello [23:46] Could anyone help me? I'm trying to setup an external monitor. [23:46] Yeah I do [23:46] whats is a small app for docs (text even ) that can use fonts? [23:47] completely unrelated. Is there a way of eliminating the window borders from a program in ubuntu ? [23:47] xangua, battery,wireless,audio,time,and all that exept for empathy [23:47] like nero so it would convert the mp3 to CDA format [23:47] Joe: gedit maybe? geany ? [23:47] or wave etc [23:47] Soraya: add the indicator session applet¿¿ (17:37:26) Soraya: but my name does not show in pannel [23:47] Anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting Unity? This is what I get on my laptop after logging in to a Unity session: http://yfrog.com/0kscreenshotbyj (note the blue smudges where the UI should be) [23:47] what is the lowest mem ubuntu can be installed and ran with ? [23:47] Joe: if your Terminal supports fonts ee might work IIRC [23:47] !resetpanels | or restor the panel Soraya [23:47] or restor the panel Soraya: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:47] h4p0z3u: hi individual =) [23:47] anybody know how to fix vlc? --> http://zip.users.flashfingaz.de/upload/daten/Bildschirmfoto.png [23:48] xangua - is that @me ?

[23:49] Ubuntu + ? = Video Editing... and guesses on the ? [23:49] so how everyone been ? [23:50] FreedomCow: per user, sorry [23:50] hi [23:50] collosi: annoying. But thanks [23:50] * FreedomCow yells at sysadmins to update ubuntu ;-) [23:50] Lantizia: ubuntu comes with pitivi by default [23:50] FreedomCow: there is a way to eliminate the borders, let me dig up the program [23:50] so my question about external drive scanning in RB has no answer? [23:50] oh well got to go guys thanks see ya all you been so helpful [23:51] which version of awn is on 10.04? [23:51] FreedomCow: you want borderless windows right? [23:51] !info avant-window-navigator lucid | chetnick [23:51] chetnick: avant-window-navigator (source: avant-window-navigator): A MacOS X like panel for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.0-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 315 kB, installed size 896 kB [23:51] rww: thanks [23:51] i have a Fn key that works on X but it won't work when i go to console so i can't get back to X. anyone? [23:51] collosi - yeah [23:52] why did two laptops with the same appversions break a python program at the same time [23:52] I just (perhaps unwisely) upgraded to 10.10, and my gnome-panel doesn't appear anymore when I start gnome. All my applets are apparently running, but I can't see any of them. [23:52] there were no automatic updates so something timewise must have killed the package [23:52] Anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting Unity? This is what I get on my laptop after logging in to a Unity session: http://yfrog.com/0kscreenshotbyj (note the blue smudges where the UI should be and the gray/white rectangle that shows up on hovering) [23:53] FreedomCow: try using a program called alltray. $sudo apt-get install alltray [23:53] hi [23:53] FreedomCow: what program do you want to make borderless? [23:54] collisy - xeyes for now ;-) [23:54] how can i connect to ares p2p chat server? [23:54] FreedomCow: haha alright, that should work then. good luck [23:54] collosi - where can I find the source for alltray? I don't have root access so I can't install to /usr/local [23:54] bork, have you tried alt+f2 ---> "killall gnome-panel" ? [23:55] * FreedomCow googled and found it [23:55] ruffleS: yeah, I killed it and started it again. shows up, but most of my applets are still missing [23:55] FreedomCow: try this http://alltray.trausch.us/ [23:56] collosi: I googled it ;-) [23:56] bash: gmake: command not found [23:56] :-| ????? [23:56] FreedomCow: $alltray --borderless xeyes to get it going [23:56] kk [23:57] does ubuntu not have a make program by default? [23:57] bork, u may want to reset gnome settings with this command: rm -rf .gconf, .gconfd, .gnome, .gnome2 [23:58] xangua, only trouble is Pitivi likes to crash [23:58] ruffleS: seems drastic. [23:58] Lantizia: i have read openshot is the best video editor for linux [23:58] bork, ubuntu tweak may help you restore gnome panel default settings [23:59] ruffleS: yep [23:59] bork, there's a desktop recovery thing which is quite cool. i've used it many times [23:59] !resetpanel | bork [23:59] bork: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:59] hi, i seen this on some page , what exactly does it do? is it recommended? sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade [23:59] xangua, cool will give it a try - piviti looked good tbh, shame it crashes :S [23:59] <_Neytiri_> can someone tell me how to setup a vpn over ssh?
