[00:00] betz, does the embedded system have a wput command, or perhaps an ftp client? [00:00] betz: i don't think so, use ftp or tftp? [00:01] i know it runs busybox, its a apacer al670 multimediaplayer [00:01] busybox should at least have tftp [00:02] if you're wondering whats on your ubuntu side, you do have scp available. [00:02] and can i scp over telnet [00:02] ? [00:02] does anyone have an idea of how to set up VERP on an Ubuntu Postfix server? [00:03] betz, you can scp over ssh, that may be available on your device. [00:03] betz, does your device have sendmail available? does your device have a usb port? does it have support for vfat/msdoc/ext file systems? many questions without a good knowledge of the device. [00:04] phil_in_london: betz: busybox may be compiled with a tftp server, so try connecting to it with a tftp client. did you run a port scan? === kai_62656 is now known as kracker[BDC] [00:05] yeah, it may have tftpd, but its usually an option when compiling "TO" the embedded device. [00:05] betz, its got a usb port and DOES support usb hard drive. [00:06] portscan showed me 80 and 23 [00:06] so, no ssh then. [00:06] yes, it has a usb port [00:06] and no ftp either. [00:06] just telnet and web. [00:06] betz, have you telnet'd to it yet, did a little poking around? [00:06] I'm trying to get nmbd/smbd services to reliably stop/restart, but upstart is being obtuse. I type "service smbd stop" and it says "stop: unknown instance", same for "service smbd restart" if I type "smbd stop" or it just runs smbd again. I'm having to kill the PIDs for smbd/nmbd each time I make a change. [00:06] yes, i'm in right now [00:07] anyone know where I should start to look for help on getting them to restart/end properly? [00:07] betz, all you need to do is find out where it mounts the usb drives. Maybe start with a usb stick. Put some files on it, look for the mount point and see if its the same files you'd put on the stick. [00:07] hello...I just installed 10.04.1 LTS Desktop. How do I get access to libglib2.0-dev through the package system? [00:08] betz, once the usb stick is installed, a mount command should show you your mount points, and I would assume that this device will do an auto mount. [00:09] betz, a dmesg command might also show you the mount point as well. [00:11] Hi. I'm having problems removing xubuntu-desktop and xfce. I sudo apt-get autoremove'd xubuntu-desktop but it is still showing the option in the sessions menu. How do I completly remove xfce and xubuntu?

[00:13] !puregnome | S0lder one more time, leaving [00:13] S0lder one more time, leaving: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [00:13] nobody's dealt with trying to work with upstart scripts/info for services like smbd/nmbd? [00:13] thanks [00:13] phil_in_london ilovefairuz: got it working with usb, thanks [00:14] I am trying to to print with a network printer with my laptop running ubuntu 10.04. The printer is a HP Deskjet D4260 and hooked up to a Dell desktop running XP. I am connected to the network wirelessly and have the correct driver for the printer installed and connected to it, however I cant see to get it to print. It works fine if I connect to it through usb. === aL3x is now known as alexlea [00:15] hmmm....what's all this? i just installed a new 10.04 server install (amd64) and when i do 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' i see 'launchpad-common' in there.......haven't seen that before, and i didn't select launchpad during install [00:16] hello everyone, I've just installed lastest ubuntu, it's awesome . I have one problem I had windows 7 and centos 5 already installed, during the installation I selected custom install, preserved everything, I even checked that last step when installing grub and I saw it was detecing CentOS 5 as well, but after install only Ubuntu and Windows 7 start...now I added back the entry to grub.cfg and before I restart I wonder if this is correct : [00:16] http://pastebin.com/FmMCQ2Qk [00:16] does anyone know how i can get rid of the vertical blue line that appeared on my laptop's screen after I installed the new kernel? [00:17] ElCerebr0, please explain again .. [00:18] ElCerebr0, when you give it the network address, add a port to the address eg http://192.168.1.10:631 [00:18] hi how do i troubleshoot my netbook my screen won't go off if i close the lid. [00:18] ElCerebr0, the network printer requires both ip address AND port, the port will usually be 631. [00:18] Hi, Can we make a multiple bootable USB Drive, that ask what OS to install, Like WinXP/Win7/Vista/Linux in Linux [00:19] robert83a2: Did you add that to /etc/grub.d/40_custom ? [00:19] sarthor: that'd have to be quite a large thumb drive to fit xp, 7, vista, and a linux distro on it [00:19] sarthor, yes, but you will have legal issues [00:19] Jordan_U : nope I did not, and now I'm reading online, I will add it there... next update will destroy it this way [00:19] you [00:19] Jordan_U : thank you, besides that the entry seems okay? [00:20] miniuser: can you repeat what whats-his-face just said, i just got here and that sounded interesting [00:20] Jordan_U : I've read the values from my old grub menu.lst file on the centos 5.5 /boot partition [00:20] miniuser, Can you please help me to give some web link/ Howto, i want to read that [00:20] Hi, can't seem to find the right video drivers for my Intel Media Accelerator HD, thus I can't use the 3D effects. [00:20] robert83a2: It should not have "recordfail" and It's better to use gfxpayload=1024x768 (or whatever resolution you want) rather than vga=. [00:20] hi [00:21] PEOS [00:21] Jordan_U : thank you very much for helping me out!!! got it [00:21] sarthor, google is your friend [00:22] * miniuser mutters to himself:"some people dont have friends" [00:22] Can someone help me figure out why I cant mount my sdcard in the file manager? [00:22] miniuser, yes, some 1 told me same like you b4, but i did not trust, but i think i have to trust this !! Compel to trust [00:22] anyone know a good tool to use with Ubuntu to manage a Windows domain? [00:22] robert83a2: So something like this: http://pastebin.com/fbawste9 === root is now known as Guest65051 [00:22] hi kolks [00:23] hello [00:23] hi Guest65051! [00:23] what's up [00:23] robert83a2: But update-grub really should have detected CENTOS. Does "sudo os-prober" list CENTOS? [00:23] quick question (hopefully) gnome won't remember how i want to look at files (list view for pretty much everything) very frustrating, lol [00:23] Jordan_U : just a second [00:24] Jordan_U : it does list CentOS [00:24] i have a problem with recordmydesktop... It records fine but the video is blank I mean I see the desktop but the video played inside the desktop is blank but not the other things.. any idea? [00:24] Jordan_U : but It did not generate ANY entry for CentOS [00:24] it's going fast [00:24] robert83a2: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo update-grub" then pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [00:24] Jordan_U : it's on /dev/sdc6 ,... I've installed on this same disk Ubuntu... only different partitions [00:25] nukunu: go to a terminal and enter glxinfo | grep direct [00:25] Jordan_U : yes I can a minute please [00:25] nukunu: and post the output [00:25] nukunu: the part about direct rendering [00:26] nukunu: if you have to install mesa-utils to do that, do it [00:27] damnit. hate when the guy ur attempting to help quits. [00:27] foul_owl, what version of Gnome? [00:28] foul_owl, from 2.6 forward, nautilus acts differently with the way it saves view settings [00:28] how do i tell gnome version [00:28] tank8465, helping a fish getting baited is not considered helping : P [00:28] Nautilus 2.28.1 [00:29] SYSTEM -> about -> GNOME [00:29] miniuser: hell, im trying :{ [00:29] Jordan_U : update_grub (it actualy lists CentOS 5.5) http://pastebin.com/MriAhGm4 , my grub.cfg from /boot/grub/grub.cfg http://pastebin.com/4GfQZXMB cannot find CentOS entry...I even checked /etc/grub.d/ but nothing, how come? [00:29] ok so 2.28.1 [00:29] yeah [00:30] so if you dont mind upgrading Gnome - that'd be where i'd start, or use a different file manager like Dolphin [00:30] not sure if that's the only way to get it to work, but i know that the newer version of nautilus will adjust that behavior or at least SHOULD [00:30] ok, so im running karmic, why doesn't karmic have the latest gnome release? [00:31] in the updates [00:31] what about nautilus version in updates? [00:31] !latest | foul_owl [00:31] foul_owl: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [00:32] i have a proposal for ubuntu version x? tangy toiletroll [00:32] would it be possible to give users the option of bleeding edge? [00:32] robert83a2: Can you pastebin the output (if any) of "sudo linux-boot-prober /dev/sdc6"? [00:32] miniuser: would that follow spicy spinachdip? [00:32] that seems to make the most sense to me [00:32] Jordan_U : just a second [00:33] !ot | miniuser [00:33] miniuser: #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! [00:33] Jordan_U : no output [00:33] foul_owl, you can - using backports or going to the project site and downloading from source [00:33] m0tan: thank you, i will look into that [00:33] foul_owl, no prob [00:33] or i might decide to do a fresh install of lucid at some point [00:34] anybody running win7 from ubuntu with virtuliz..? [00:34] I like lucid, but it comes with 2.3 [00:34] wahtever just freaking ban me .. i'm using ubuntu and this cahn is 99% useless for me .. unlike other linux distros : D [00:34] robert83a2: OK, not sure why linux-boot-prober can't determine how to boot CENTOS, but adding the entry I gave to /etc/grub.d/40_custom should work. [00:34] spinachdip just works here [00:34] tris2k, I'm actually setting that up at my house right now, haven't finished yet but virtualbox has seen results for it [00:35] m0tan: so i would have to learn how to use backports anyway eh [00:35] Jordan_U : okay no problem, another question if later I want to install Fedora Core 13, I guess I should NOT install it's grub at all right? [00:35] hey i've got an issue with Ubuntu atm... i'm trying to get OpenVPN to work, and someone said to do a "tail -f" on the log file. how do i do this if the log file doesnt exactly exist yet? [00:35] Jordan_U : I think Ubuntu uses newer version of grub then Fedora Core 13... I should Issue from Ubuntu a update_grub and it would add Fedora Core 13 automagicaly [00:35] robert83a2: Correct. [00:35] Jordan_U : thank you very much!!! for all your help [00:35] robert83a2: You're welcome. [00:36] Jordan_U : if I add a entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, I do have to run update_grub after? [00:36] foul_owl, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports ; http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ [00:36] there's a 'backports' section there [00:36] that should get you started [00:37] robert83a2: Yes. [00:37] Jordan_U : thankyou [00:37] Hello, I am using an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD card and running Ubuntu 10.04.1 on VMWare 7. I have enabled 3D on my Guest machine. But anytime I enable Desktop effects I get the Reply Desktop Effects could not be enabled. Any ideas on how to enable this? [00:37] robert83a2: You're welcome. [00:37] hahaha nukunu [00:38] so i wont need win if i can get virtual box to run it for .net dev :P [00:38] nukunu: You'll need to enable GPU acceleration for the guest if you want desktop effects. [00:38] theres no intel grafic acard [00:38] Jordan_U: how do i enable that? [00:39] say, is it possible to merge the contents of multiple directories under a single path? [00:39] I run some KDE apps in the default Gnome of ubuntu, now they look really wierd and Gnome like, i'd like to have them styled the same as in the KDE session now i've tried KDE system settings but it just won't apply them, anyone know what's wrong? running maverick [00:39] how to run some file with commands in this file? [00:39] nukunu: I don't remember off hand. Try asking in ##vmware. [00:40] I make file server without extension [00:40] and when I click twice on this file I can choose between run in terminal and display [00:40] Jordan_U: thanks. [00:40] how to run in terminal with command in terminal [00:40] please someone help me [00:40] nukunu: You're welcome. [00:41] ne7work: Is english your first language? [00:41] Jordan_U, not why? [00:41] foul_owl, oops, gave you a bad link http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic-backports/ [00:41] ne7work: You might want to use one of the Ubuntu channels for your native language. [00:43] Jordan_U, why ? [00:43] Jordan_U, my english is so sucks or what? [00:43] ne7work, dicen que no sabes ingles que mejor vayas a otro canal [00:43] XD [00:44] ne7work: It is difficult to understand your question, yes. [00:44] ne7work, there is a communication barrier that will not exist if you joined the other channel that's all. [00:44] ne7work, what is your native language? i can work with you on your problem in pm if it's spanish [00:44] Can anyone tell me how to change the font in the title bar of all my windows. I have tried where i change all othe system fonts but its not changing anything [00:45] I am running an ubuntu live cd on a usb thumb. For some reason sendmail isn't installed and I can't seem to figure out how to install it for the life off me. Tried apt-get, the GUI software installer. I can't find it anywhere [00:45] Hello, I have a problem with Desktop Effects. Even though I've enabled Desktop Effects, Gnome won't start compiz automatically on login—instead, it starts metacity. I can disable and re-enable Desktop Effects at any time and compiz will be started, or I can run `compiz --replace' and it will work. What would cause this to happen? [00:45] Ianrr: sendmail is in universe, which isn't enabled by default in the live media. [00:46] hi, how do i troubleshoot my netbook my screen won't go off with as the lid close. [00:46] Jordan_U, can I install universe? on my live mode installed? [00:46] Ianrr: sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sendmail [00:46] any help with the window title bar font? [00:47] Jordan_U running now, thanks [00:47] Ianrr: You're welcome. [00:47] andrej: Could be caused by an upgrade or permissions issue. Is this an upgrade from a previous version of ubuntu? [00:47] I'm running ubuntu live off a USB on like 20 netbooks to form my own cload [00:47] soreau: no, it is a clean install.

[00:49] Iamelite, #ubuntu-offtopic [00:49] andrej: That would seem like sane behavior to me [00:50] Jordan_U: sorry I cant seem to get any reply from the others. Does it have something to do with editing my /xorg/X11.conf file [00:50] alternatively i'd check #compiz out [00:50] Jordan_U, Can you understand me now? [00:50] andrej: You're not the first one with this type of problem (wrong or no wm starting up in 10.04) so it's likely a ubuntu bug [00:50] Okay now I need to make some file with commands on this file like "shutdown -r 05:00 ; /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and other when I save this file on my Desktop for example how can I run this file with command in terminal? I need to run all commands from this file on startup I need to add command for run this file in rc.local [00:50] and ask them [00:50] ne7work, you've answered your own question, create a file with all the commands you need in it, make sure its set to executable, and then have rc.local call that file. [00:51] m0tan: Since compiz is not the problem here, that wouldn't make sense. It's a ubuntu/gnome bug [00:51] phil_in_london, how to set to executable/ [00:51] ne7work: Make the first line of the file "#!/bin/bash" and then make the file executable with "chmod +x /path/to/file" then add "/path/to/file" to /etc/rc.local. [00:51] ne7work chmod a+x myfile [00:51] soreau: I see. Does gnome use metacity as a fallback? It is possible that compiz is crashing when first run, so it is not used. [00:51] soreau ah thats true, I was thinking it may be a problem with compiz, since metacity is working at startup and that was the default [00:52] I need to be able to change the font in the title bar of my windows. I have all of the other fonts the way i need them but i cant get that one to change [00:52] andrej: Yes, it is hard coded to fallback to any wm it can find [00:52] ne7work: But it's probably better to just include the commands directly in /etc/rc.local as a file with commands to be run as root should not be stored on your desktop. [00:52] how do i set the text shown by gltext screen saver - I editer gltex.desktop and nothing changed [00:52] Sojurner, if you're going to ask questions, you should read the replies. [00:52] andrej: My suspicion is that they try to start compiz too fast and sometimes X or the driver isn't ready yet [00:52] Jordan_U, On rc.local before the command exit 0? [00:52] well i looked through and ddint see any [00:53] ne7work: Yes. [00:53] soreau: my thoughts too. It's probably the intel (open source) graphics driver that takes too long.

[01:07] gwern, I did suspect a fast encryption would be used, but a celeron 500Mhz is obviously not that fast, with today's standards, but it sounds like I don't have to worry. :) [01:07] there was one user who particularly tried to help me, White-something [01:07] that sound familair to anyone?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:09] FIXED IT =D. Just had to reinstall my linux-headers in synaptic [01:09] Merces_Letifer, there is a #rhythmbox but it's empty so this may be your best shot [01:09] dugger5688: scary.

[01:13] mxm okay I don't need & after service apache2 restart? [01:14] ne7work, for you that would mean that your rc.local can continue to its finish while your new command continues on its own. [01:14] I'll need after shutdown ? [01:14] ? [01:14] ne7work, that depends. Do you want rc.local to wait for the apache to restart? [01:14] someone here i can tell how to use myeclipse?

[01:36] 4 - how do you mean? every system needs protection [01:37] icarus-c, k one sec [01:37] !virus | Kingsy: [01:37] Kingsy:: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [01:37] where did i see the default folder for my dowload files [01:37] simo_ [01:37] froggyman, set it in /etc/hosts.deny [01:37] i'm new to chat what i can do lapa ?

[01:39] Lowwe: well there is sumat odd with that, cos it sayd there are two [01:39] Hmm [01:39] why is it that ppl cant write viruses in linux then? is that cos they cant execute unless they are root? [01:40] my wireless signal is not so powerful and my connection braeak every 30 min [01:40] Kingsy: the main danger would be if you run progs from untrusted sources, which you shouldn't do. [01:40] root or not. [01:40] taru, that thing should come with acpid. do you have it installed and running [01:40] Kingsy: just make sure you keep up on security updates. [01:40] mickster04: there is a 56k port, only 1 ethernet port [01:40] taru, and do you have acpi enabled at all? [01:40] Kingsy: google linux virus' theres alot to it really but ppl just dont write them for linux and they haven't got much access as it is [01:41] icarus-c, if i run acpi_listen ~ it don't record the lid event :< [01:41] icarus-c, i think do [01:41] because making virus for linux is not that practical [01:41] Lowwe: can you link me the image again [01:41] icarus-c: and it just isn't cool ;) [01:41] mickster04: http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk27/octayn911/1006001548.jpg [01:41] ok thanks for the info ppl :) [01:41] mickster04:which version do you use now?

[01:49] in vbox? [01:49] lapa: no dual boot [01:49] and i've seen a lenovo notebook would use hard RF block on wireless adapter if you switch it off on windows and reboot [01:49] that means you can't use it on linux unless you boot windows, switch it on and reboot again [01:50] thanks .

[02:05] Catoptromancy: well how can you use the space bar at all? [02:05] if capslock is on, or shift is held...the spacebar wont register a space [02:05] mickster04: Whats bad about it [02:05] mickster04, I think I'll try using the ip address of the site [02:05] where can i download the trix chat pls give the link so i can download it [02:05] mickster04: i dont hold shift constantly or type in all caps = ) [02:06] but it is useful [02:06] hi [02:06] where can i download the trix chat pls give the link so i can download it [02:06] Jantire_: nothing. i just don't know much about it. it's c#? [02:06] mickster04: Pretty [02:06] Catoptromancy: i still don't understand? you press shift to get a capital letter then your space bar doesn't work, but you are writing with spaces? [02:06] mickster04: * pretty much [02:07] Jantire_: yeah it is usable. the main problem is GUI [02:07] mickster04: IAMHOLDINGSHIFTWHILETYPINGANDPRESSINGSPACEBAR [02:07] mickster04: Whats wrong with it [02:07] Catoptromancy: well dont hold shift then? [02:07] and never type up a cfg in caps? [02:07] Okay... what's up with the 10.10 installer? Why is there no advanced section for defining what grub is doing? [02:07] how can i find my package? [02:08] or am I missing something?

[02:08] im trying to install 10.04 alternate and i cant figure out how to install the grub loader to my /boot of the lvm i just created during install [02:08] mickster04: Is gtk# any different from gtk+? [02:09] comtech, http://sourceforge.net/projects/trix/files/ [02:09] Jantire_: its written for c# i think [02:09] wow, it seems to be working now... but only after CHROOTing with the liveCD and reinstalling Grub [02:09] mickster04: something is broke in Xconf [02:09] relearning how to type isnt a solution [02:09] mickster04: Alright [02:09] ljsoftnet, I'm trying to do some kind of seach engine for logs, with the server in perl and the client in php, I have problems with the performance :( (any ideas??) [02:09] Catoptromancy: so what makes you8r spacebar work again? [02:09] you or anyone [02:10] mickster04: spaceworks, unless I am holding shift or caps are on. [02:10] how i can save(burn) my application to dvd i have APTonCD application? [02:10] well don't hold shift when you are using the space bar? [02:10] sometimes it is necessary to have caps on [02:10] Catoptromancy: i have a personal disagreement with the need for caps lock but thats me [02:11] caps on type a word, turn caps off, hit space, caps on, type another word... [02:11] Catoptromancy: if you are using the terminal you can use the tab key to autocomplete for you [02:11] hi [02:11] Helsinkiii: hey [02:11] hi [02:11] i accessedd my school computer via ssh [02:11] this happens in videogames, OOo [02:11] i rly need a file from my desktop [02:11] how can i download it?

[02:14] Helsinkiii: scp /remotepc/home/user/desktop/file youpc/home/user/desktop [02:14] Helsinkiii: yeah from terminal not through ssh [02:14] Helsinkiii, or you could use sftp too. unless your school disable sftp of ssh [02:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=910780 lapa [02:14] mickster04: thanks!!!!!google failed me on that one [02:14] !who | lapa [02:14] lapa: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[02:16] VisualAssassin, just ask [02:16] icaru [02:16] Se7en: Any suggestions on a good video player yet has a nice look to it? [02:16] !ask | VisualAssassin [02:16] VisualAssassin: 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. :-) [02:16] alright [02:16] icarus-c, it says it can't STAT it [02:16] merovingian, what is it [02:16] sweet [02:16] !ask | merovingian [02:16] merovingian: 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. :-) [02:16] Helsinkiii, that means your file doesn't exist [02:17] icarus-c, my machine at school is called user@ubuntu.school.com [02:17] hello... I am about to install ubuntu 10.10. I have a folder, /backup, in my root directory which has been set as the mountpoint for / in the new install... I get a warning about files being cleared and i was wondering, since this isn't a system folder, if it will also be cleared. thanks! [02:17] i finish install the trix but i cannot find to internet [02:17] ljsoftnet, thanks anyways [02:17] i finish install the trix but i cannot find to internet [02:17] its a half pc half linux question...my laptop pc screen is black, you can only make out faint silhouettes of icons and what not, is there anyone way that i can get into it with my laptop running linux so i can set up a monitor to use with the laptop pc? [02:17] Web pages are slow to load when Transmission is running. [02:18] merovingian, probably that happen to all misconfigured BT clients [02:18] hi, anyone can tell me how is the name panel bottom from this picture? http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2010/10/500x_ubunt_big_splash.jpg [02:18] VisualAssassin: your backlight is probablhy b roken [02:18] holaa [02:18] dalcom: hey [02:18] Any suggestions on a good video player yet has a nice look to it? [02:18] HB2: you mean docky? [02:18] icarus-c, my machine at school is called user@ubuntu.school.com [02:18] would it be worth it to get it fixed? I dont want to buy another laptop, but i know screen repair can be pricey [02:18] FlameTai1: depends on your taste but I'd suggest [02:18] Somgbird [02:19] VisualAssassin: you'd have to ask your repairman [02:19] mickster04 : thanks, yes i mean that ;) [02:19] song* [02:19] i would much rather just set up a monitor on it if i could gain access to it through the machine im using right now [02:19] Helsinkiii, scp user@ubuntu.school.com:/path/to/file local_destination # this will copy /path/to/file from remote ssh server to local file local_destination [02:19] How do i resize my screen in ubuntu? [02:19] VisualAssassin: depends how expensive your laptop is, how old (warranty) [02:19] Se7en: I'll check it out thanks :3 [02:19] VisualAssassin: that should work fine, the problem is hardware [02:19] its from 2004 so the warranty and extended warranty are long out of service now [02:19] VisualAssassin: have you mayb turned your brightness way down? [02:20] Helsinkiii, or you could open Nautilus (ubuntu's default file browser) press Ctrl-L : enter "sftp://user@ubuntu.school.com" [02:20] is there a way to use skype with jack? [02:20] mickster04: I fixed it! [02:20] = ) [02:20] no the brightness didnt get turned down, my g/f was using it and when she came back the screen was black [02:20] Catoptromancy: huzzah! what was it? [02:20] and in case you havnt heard FlameTai1 , VLC is skinable .. and have some neat skins that you could check out [02:20] that link [02:20] VisualAssassin: lol:D [02:20] space was doing weird stuff oabout levels and such [02:20] Catoptromancy: i didn't read through was there a config file somewhere? [02:20] Helsinkiii, provided that your school's sshd don't have sftp disabled (it is on by default) [02:20] Catoptromancy: ah ok:D [02:21] System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > Other Options > Using space key to input non-breakable space character [02:21] shes good with computers and that is the one she uses most of the time so i know she couldn't have messed anything up [02:21] really odd stuff [02:21] Catoptromancy: i'll try and remember that [02:21] Se7en: Would you suggest it? [02:21] VisualAssassin: very good :D [02:21] VisualAssassin: then its the hardware thats dead, just plug a monitor in and you can use it fine, my dad has a laptop with a similr set up..(data moigration would be difficult) [02:22] Hello all, anyone can help about WM5 mobile devices? Got it connected, synced and all is working, but i want to use the PC's internet connection on the mobile device. [02:22] i wouldnt have to set the monitor up through the settings? [02:22] ok this is intreesting [02:22] FlameTai1: i would. I like VLC cos it plays everything. without the need for external codecs, however somepeople find it a bit unpretty, however sit is skinnable [02:22] feher: research tethering [02:22] VisualAssassin: normally if the laptop is on it should be on automgically [02:22] so I updated my EeePC running lucid last night, and now X doesn't work (unresponsive, like both keyboard and mouse) and single user mode (rescue mode) doesn't work. [02:23] anyone know how to troubleshoot the boot process? [02:23] mickster04: i want to use the PC's connection on the device and not the devices on the PC. [02:23] wereHamster: did you maybe deleted the old kernel without updating grub? [02:23] feher: oh my bad [02:23] feher: not sure then [02:23] FlameTail: I agree with mickster04 completely. VLC is hands down the best video player out for Ubuntu. [02:23] rusivi: Alrighty thanks [02:24] awesome im gonna have to buy myself a nice monitor than [02:24] VisualAssassin: concider it may be cheapre to repair the damage or get a new laptop... [02:24] VisualAssassin: you laptop would remain protable if you fixed it... [02:25] VisualAssassin: If you send it in for warranty repair, strip out the HDD first. Companies try anything to void the warranty. [02:25] to tell you the truth i really dont mind that its not portable, if i take a computer with me it will be this one with linux on it [02:26] yeah ill just have to check to see how much it would cost and if it would be cheaper to get a monitor or new laptop than ill go that route [02:26] VisualAssassin: does the bios screen also not appear properly? [02:27] feher: how do you do that on windows? [02:27] where can i download the VYQchat [02:27] VisualAssassin: Their are horror rumors on this issue from companies like BetterPurchase ;) [02:27] comtech: link? [02:27] where can i download the VYQchat plssssssss helo me and many thanksssss in advance [02:27] yes link? [02:27] comtech: why that program? [02:27] comtech: no do you have one for me? [02:27] we use here in office [02:29] hey, when I print documents get cropped :/ [02:29] trying to print a PDF [02:29] whats a good irc client, similar to xchat? [02:29] how do i edit something such at /etc/fstab [02:29] SuperMiguel: xchat isw one of the better ones [02:30] was support for adaptec raid cards cut out of 10.04's kernel? I thought this card was just going to work... but that doesn't seem to be the case [02:30] changed from the Advanced tab in Printing to Shrink (print the whole page) [02:30] mickster04: Im back lost net conn. So any advice about the mobile sharing? [02:30] and it's still cropping [02:30] supermiguel: try irssi, it runs exclusively in CLI. [02:30] where can i download the VYQchat plssssssss helo me and many thanksssss in advance [02:30] feher: how would you normally do it in windows? [02:30] To edit /etc/fstab, run "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" in a terminal. [02:30] comtech: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/Chat/VyQChat-2285.shtml [02:30] just plug, get connected and its ready to go, just tested on win7 [02:30] oh, nevermind [02:30] thanks [02:31] no setup needed [02:31] No problem. [02:31] feher: check settings in activesync in ubuntu [02:31] it seems I also had to change another thing I hadn't noticed [02:31] silly me [02:31] thanks [02:31] mickster04: sure, i will do so, Thank you. [02:31] ERROR>>CANNOT DOWNLOAD [02:31] feher: it usually has a "use activesync connection" option. also "allow internet sharing" in the pc client i think IIRC [02:31] badly need VYQCHAT OR TRIX [02:32] how do i migrate from one disk to another disk that has lvm [02:32] comtech: what does your work use for OS? windows? [02:32] comtech: calm down [02:32] Hello [02:32] anyone in here familiar with Kdenlive [02:32] ? [02:33] !ask [02:33] 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. :-) [02:33] Wow, nice bot. [02:33] comtech: that is an rpm program, there is no ubuntu version [02:33] Des_: indeed it is [02:33] !ubottu [02:33] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [02:33] ubuntu ,, but my client pc use windows xp [02:33] some told me use wine [02:34] also what is the line to edit bootup grub [02:34] comtech: i don't understand the situation [02:34] You can still install RPMs on Ubuntu, but it's recommended to use the DEB file if possible. Install Alien from the repos, run the command "alien -k my_package.rpm" [02:34] was support for adaptec raid cards cut out of 10.04's kernel? I thought this card was just going to work... but that doesn't seem to be the case [02:34] Des_: yes i was trying to avoid that [02:34] alien is a good way to wreck a system... you're better off compiling from source [02:35] Ken8521: If you notice a bug in Alien please let us know! [02:35] UbuntuNoob: sudo nano /etc/default/grub [02:35] UbuntuNoob: "gksu gedit /etc/default/grub/" edits grub. But please, tell us what the problem is in specific before messing with conf files. [02:35] UbuntuNoob: then run update-grub [02:35] rusivi, i learned my lesson alien a long, long, long time ago [02:35] And I agree: Alien is awful. [02:35] Ken8521: If you have specific examples I am all ears. [02:35] i need to add i915.modeset=1 to my start up grub for some reason for it to boot, even from the cd [02:35] But almost functioning. [02:36] rusivi, lol, it was several years ago... i can't recall now.. but it was bad enough i'd never recommend it, nor would i tr it again [02:36] I tried to install global menu with it, just because a FAR outdated guide told me so. Couldn't get rid of it. [02:36] Ken8521: Fair enough, thank you for sharing your experience. If you or anyone else have a problem with alien please make it known, the Ubuntu Community is interested. [02:36] anyone using Lubuntu here [02:37] seems not-too-popular [02:37] what mouse do you recommend for ubuntu, for gaming and maybe rotating in blender without the mouse dying and me having to reboot? I am using an older mouse, logitech wireless [02:37] anyway to set Document Viewer's Page Handling -> Page Scaling to Shrink to Printable area forever without needing to choose it everytime I want to print something? [02:37] comtech: it no longer exists, [02:37] It's ridiculous how it always crops everything [02:37] ridiculous! [02:37] i dont think thats it. when i boot, i have to hold shift, press e to view the code and after "quite splash", i have to enter the line "i915.modeset=1" for ubuntu to boot. where would i edit that within my system so i dont have to type it every time [02:37] gksu gedit /etc/default/grub [02:37] comtech, why don't you guys use a more widely accepted messaging system? [02:38] UbuntuNoob: Check for a line that says something similar to [02:38] UbuntuNoob: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [02:38] and update-grub after that [02:38] i cant even find vyqchat for windows to test it w/ wine [02:38] Des_: i see it; should i add it after that [02:39] was support for adaptec raid cards (aacraid) cut out of 10.04's kernel? I thought this card was just going to work... but that doesn't seem to be the case. And I"m having trouble with dkms [02:39] Ken8521, i thought vyqchat is for linux [02:39] UbuntuNoob: and change that to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.modeset=1" [02:39] LIKE WHAT [02:39] Des_ [02:39] Yes, that is exactly what you do. [02:39] thanks [02:39] give me some idea [02:39] No problem. [02:39] icarus-c, well he said something about wine, so i assumed it had a windows client as well. [02:39] Ken8521, the windows client is vypresschat itself [02:39] like what give some idea [02:39] someone asked about vypress chat yesterday, would that be him :P [02:40] comtech, that think makes people think you are copy/pasting chat log. at least that's the convention [02:41] also, how can i make lucid recognize udf files on an iso? [02:41] UbuntuNoob, just mount it [02:41] a UDF file On an Iso? you got some CD Image thats using the UDF filesystem you mean? [02:41] icraus-c: i did i get some message about there being udf files it doesnt support [02:41] Dr_Willis: yes basically [02:41] comtech, do you have the vypress chat .exe? [02:42] comtech: you'll have to get the installer from work [02:42] You can mount iso image files via the Loop feature of mount UbuntuNoob . [02:42] !iso [02:42] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [02:42] that acetoneiso program can work as a gui for that, and archivemounter tool can also work as a front end. [02:42] Dr_Willis: ive been using gmount-iso [02:42] !ops Psi-Jack, aka: Eric Renfro of 115 Cory Ln, Winter Springs Florida, 32708. Call him at 14074597985.

[02:44] acetoneiso - feature-rich application to mount and manage CD and DVD images [02:44] Is there a way I can install ubuntu from a USB Key on my macbook? I just tried unetbootin and it didn't work. [02:44] its a huge file im not sure how long it would take its for windows 7 im trying to install it [02:44] UbuntuNoob, just mount it as iso13346 [02:44] yes KEN8521 [02:44] icarus-c: should i use terminal, and if so what is the line?> [02:44] yes i have KEN8521 [02:45] comtech, do you know wher ei can download it? [02:45] mount -t iso13346 blah.iso /mnt/point # where blah.iso is the udf [02:45] comtech: you can use that to install your program [02:45] NerdsMcGee: See if Universal USB Installer is available for Mac. Otherwise, the only way I know of making a bootable Ubuntu flash drive is with Ubuntu. [02:45] how? [02:45] thanks ill give it a try [02:45] Well I have a Windows PC as well, but when I used it (unetbootin) it failed to boot. [02:46] what is ei KEN [02:46] comtech: are you using ubuntu on your laptop (or pc you want to install the program on)? [02:46] NerdsMcGee: You might wantt to try making a grub2 setup on the flash drive that boots the iso files. Or check teh PendriveLinux web site - they may have other tools. [02:46] I find that UNetbootin is extremely overhyped for something that doesn't work...at all... [02:46] UbuntuNoob, or -t udf . [02:46] Des_: unetbootin really does work though [02:46] UbuntuNoob, it has been a long while since i've touched udf [02:47] unetbootin is useing syslinux, like many of the others do also. Could be an issue with syslinux and a Macbook. (ive never owned a macbook) [02:47] mickster04: Every single attempt I've made with it, no matter on what OS or with what OS I was loading onto the drive, it failed to actually load a kernel on there. [02:47] I'll try Universal USB Installer then. [02:47] Des_: hum [02:48] NerdsMcGee: That works a lot better. Again, check if it is available for Mac. [02:48] I'm finding more and more that I'm regretting taking my DVD Drive out of my macbook. >_> [02:48] NerdsMcGee: oh well...:S [02:48] But I like my SSDs! [02:48] I keep mine around just because I have an awful habit of losing my Flash Drives. [02:48] *SIGH* [02:48] what do i use as a mount point? [02:48] NerdsMcGee: that is true... [02:48] what's a good mouse for ubuntu? using old logitech wireless [02:48] UbuntuNoob: Any mountpoint you want. [02:48] UbuntuNoob: usually / [02:49] eross: Anything with two or more buttons. [02:49] pc [02:49] comtech: are you using ubuntu] [02:49] yes i use ubuntu.. PC [02:49] UbuntuNoob, make a folder somewhere [02:49] comtech: do you have WINE installde on it [02:49] yes i use ubuntu [02:49] comtech: do you have WINE installde on it [02:50] UbuntuNoob, the unix convention is to put mount points in /mnt/ [02:50] so i tried mount -t iso13346 windows7.iso / [02:50] UbuntuNoob: sorry ignore me :P [02:50] and it said maybe you meant iso9660?

[02:51] I'm familiar with linux, just not ubuntu/upstart. [02:52] also it says only root can do that, i used sudo before that code; do i type root? [02:52] casa, dont paste here [02:52] haha oops [02:52] UbuntuNoob, sudo then [02:52] sudo blah = sudo -u root blah [02:53] UbuntuNoob: using sudo means to run the following code (program etc) as root [02:53] probably too lame to use sudo -u root , maybe it doesn't even work :P [02:53] nothings happen [02:53] why? [02:53] Why do I get 256 color support in Screen when I SSH into my linux machine with Putty, but NOT when I'm in a local login shell?

[02:54] anyone know why that would be? i can send the logs it produced [02:54] .dll cannot load [02:54] Lowwe: oh gutted :/ [02:54] what the heck.. .dll O.o [02:54] I think I know why the DLL can't load... [02:54] comtech: what? print screen pls [02:54] mcantor: and by local login shell - you mean the console? or a xterm? or gnome-0terminal?

[02:55] comtech: i could do with seeing the full error [02:55] Dr_Willis: Hang on, let me check TERM before I get into screen itself [02:55] anyone have theories on why 10.10 doesn't shutdown on a Macbook? [02:55] all I can find is usermod -p but that takes not plaintext, but results of crypt =/ [02:55] X acts like I have no keyboard or mouse devices defined, this only started happening after I did a software update last night.

And I need to create a user with a password that is gotten from a form [02:59] comtech, type "comt" and press [tab] [02:59] Dr_Willis: Seriously though. Why is it that 256 colors works in a login shell no matter what my TERM is, and no matter whether I'm in gnome-terminal or logged in remotely via PuTTY, but it suddenly matters when I start GNU Screen? [03:00] hell [03:00] Dr_Willis: Also, how can I tell gnome-terminal to set TERM to xterm-256color by default? [03:00] mcantor: no idea. Ive not used that feature ever in my many years of using linux.

I can't set it in my .bashrc, because there's no guarantee that I'll be logging in with a client that I've configured to work with 256 colors. [03:02] actually, seems like there's a chpasswd command that helps :D [03:02] solo en ingles ? [03:02] mcantor: make .bashrc ask. or check some other bariables.. or just do it by hand when you login. [03:02] chien, yep [03:02] Dr_Willis: I absolutely positively will not do it by hand every single time I log in ;-) I'll figure it out, don't worry about it. Thanks for the help [03:02] mcantor: could be that gnome-terminal dosent support it.. try it in a normal xterm [03:03] HowardTheDuck, regnum [03:03] make it a 2 character alias, trivial [03:03] theres a bug in 10.10 right now wher TERm = dumb all the time.. [03:03] Dr_Willis: gnome-terminal supports 256 colors perfectly. It's just that it uses the TERM "xterm" by default, instead of "xterm-256color", which apparently is how screen knows to turn on 256color support. [03:04] mcantor: check the gnome-terminal profiles perhaps. I tend to use Terminator these days. which is enhanced gnome-terminal [03:04] urxvt here [03:04] hola chicos news of poker th...open source...? [03:04] Dr_Willis: Yeah... they don't have an option to set TERM. :-\ Maybe I can set it in .Xdefaults or something... [03:05] Dr_Willis: icarus-c: thanks, guys!

[03:38] Otherwise I'll go have to switch partitions [03:38] tripelb: tux paint [03:38] so.. the boot loader is there but it is pointing at a non existed partition DualProxy [03:38] Yes, but what OS is isntalled? [03:38] rusivi - thanks. can I use apt-get to install it? Oh Tux paint too mickster04 -- which should I choose or wht's the diff? [03:38] NameLess-js: run the one that does work then run update-grub and it will update the grub loader [03:39] there is nothing there [03:39] anyone an Unraid guru i am a newbie looking for help [03:39] Cancambo: there's actually a command to list devices, but I can't remember what it is [03:39] tripelb: never used tux paint. Tried gpaint, then GIMP, then kolour, found kolour has more functionality than gpaint and less install footprint and easier to use than GIMP so stuck with it. [03:39] tripelb: i think kolour is a kde program, i presume u use gnome. [03:40] Cancambo: you'll probably have to remove NDIS wrapper first [03:40] !ask | flomaster [03:40] flomaster: 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. :-) [03:40] !ask [03:40] If this can help at all, here's the result of ifconfig http://pastebin.com/drqz8smx [03:40] NameLess-js: boot into a live cd and format or reinstall an OS and let it write over ur MBR. [03:40] tripelb / mickster04 I use GNOME and installed kolour in it. [03:41] how can i unrar a bunch of .r01 .r02 etc files? [03:41] DualProxy: cd for win? [03:41] rusivi, mickster04 -What I want to do _right now_ is to cut out part of an image and keep it as a new image. [03:41] rusivi: fine [03:41] unique, unrar the first one. it will automatically combine them === zombor_ is now known as Guest32127 [03:41] Cancambo: so ubuntu didn't recognize your wireless interface at all without NDIS wrapper? [03:41] I can't find an unraid channel to ask my question. so i am asking if anyone in here has knowledge of unRaid. http://tower does not let me access my unraid but unraid is booting in the terminal from the server i am brand new and have no idea WTF is going on [03:42] tripelb: i recommend gimp if you can use it, it is more powerful [03:42] rusivi, mickster04 - Tux Paint is for children. === Guest32127 is now known as zombor__ [03:42] OK thatnks [03:42] That was the ifconfig I ran before I used NDIS, yes [03:42] hi are there any software keyloggers that work with usb? [03:42] tripelb: i have never used it [03:42] Can someone tell me how to add groups to groups? [03:42] NameLess-js: If you plan to reinstall Ubuntu it will take care of it, if you want to install Xp it will as well. I am not sure how to just clear an MBR other than formating. [03:42] Thanks. Gimp is all over the screen in parts. I just want to take a piece of an image. Thanks to all. [03:42] Then I installed the NDIS packages and the GUI, loaded up the widnows driver, and it recognized the card [03:43] DualProxy: mbr? [03:43] Ic an do everything but actually access webistes atm [03:43] Cancambo: did you run ifconfig after you put NDIS wrapper on? [03:43] Ummm, not that I havea copy of [03:43] I have to constantly reboot each time [03:43] Cancambo: iwconfig is also useful, it tells you what essid you are associated with n such [03:44] And transfer text files over my extra HDD [03:44] hi, I can't ping my linux box from a windows box through a wireless network, is there something blocking ping requests from the linux box? a firewall maybe? [03:44] So, I should switch and run ifconfig again, iwcinfig, anything else? [03:44] choi: maybe, are you sure it's connected? [03:45] mickster04: yep, it's connected. I can ping the windows computer from the linux [03:45] but not the other way around [03:45] Cancambo: that would be useful. I would assume you aren't getting correct IP settings. Also, sudo dhclient "wlan0" should refresh the IP [03:45] choi, what is the output of command "sysctl net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all" [03:45] Cancambo: without the quotes around wlan0. replace that with whatever your interface is named [03:45] choi: it may be blocking them [03:45] I beleive it is wlan0, so I'll just elave it at that [03:46] anyone have pointers to 10.04 docs on setting up a docking station with multiple monitors? [03:46] choi, and can you "ping 127.0.0.1" on the linux box [03:46] Before I switch, anything else or will that be enough? [03:46] Well, maybe not enough, but all you can think of [03:46] !dualhead | rsenior [03:46] rsenior: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [03:46] Cancambo: all right now... I have to go, but someone else should be able to help [03:46] mickster04: yeah... don't know what to do. "net.ipv4* is an unknown key" [03:46] Ok thanks [03:46] Anyone know how to share the PC's (ubuntu) internet connection to a WM5 mobile device connected via usb?! [03:46] I'll go over to Ubuntu now and run those commands [03:47] Thanks ^_^ [03:47] choi: what? [03:47] np [03:47] sync and etc. is up and working [03:47] AbhiJit: multi-monitors works fine, it's the docking station that throws a wrench in things [03:47] choi: that isn't something i recognise [03:47] rsenior, dunno [03:47] choi: what command are you running in windows, and how [03:47] icarus-c: it works just fine [03:48] micskter04: oh i have to do it in windows, wait a sec :D [03:48] rusivi, mickster04 - May I contribute: I did not know this. -found on brainstorm.ubuntu.com- "When do "simple users" ever need to edit pictures? Answer: when they want to fine-tune their photos. An MS-PAINT-like program is not needed: F-spot already does that." --- by rephrasing the question to you better then I could google better. Voila. [03:48] and I cropped it easily. [03:49] micskter04: sorry typo error, net.ipv4_echo_ignore_all = 0 [03:49] tripelb: ok. i didnt know what you really wanted to do, you said you wanted to cut something out of a picture, an i thought fspot was limited and that you had already tried that anyway [03:49] mickster04: on windows i type : ping -a 192.168.1.103 [03:49] choi: oh so thats you making it not ignore ping? [03:50] choi: whats does -a do? dont you mean /a? [03:50] mickster04 : i think its for hostnames [03:51] choi: have you tried just ping 192.168.1.103? [03:51] mickster04: without even the -a its not working [03:51] mm [03:51] sanca fios [03:51] ai [03:51] no idea [03:52] ńo [03:52] rsrs [03:52] y [03:52] y [03:52] y [03:52] y [03:52] y [03:52] william_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:04] And from there I tried numerous tiems to connect to the router and it didn't work [05:05] Oh, i did ping 192.168.10.1 [05:05] did it reply? [05:05] And it didn't work cause the router kept dropping the conenction [05:05] Earlier though it did [05:05] Before I changed any of those settings [05:05] Can someone guide me a bit on how to handle the code blocks in the thread? If I can get this working, I'll pester y'all no konger for the night. :P [05:05] After changing the settings it would just get stuck on trying to connect [05:06] Like, the wave icon would just keeping going in and out doing the connecting animation [05:06] (BTW, I kept trying to get the first part of step 1 done and I always seem to fail it, unless it's just the apt-get server no longer working.) [05:06] And then it would say "Disconnected from TRENDnet" like 30 seconds later [05:06] Cancambo, by using a static ip you have eliminated dhcp as the problem. there must be an issue joining the access point [05:07] So how would I attempt to fix that? [05:08] Cancambo, do you have a way to view some kind of status page on your wifi router? maybe a log? [05:08] * tiox facedesks [05:08] I think [05:08] Appearently I also broke Synaptic. [05:08] I'll go to the router control panel roght niow [05:08] How do I get "sloppy focus" on Ubuntu 10.04? I just see something about "Dwell Click" but that doesn't sound like what I want. I don't want windows to raise up if I hover over them, but I want to focus them / type inot them. [05:08] * Neo|Desktop woooo [05:09] Cancambo, also on ubuntu you can run dmesg | grep wlan0. this could help locate the problem too [05:10] Hi. I installed Windows 7 on my computer, then I installed Ubuntu 10.04. My computer boots straight to Ubuntu, as though grub isn't installed. What can I do to fix this? [05:10] i took my broadcom driver to ubuntu but i'm not sure how to get it recognized? [05:10] Ok I'll run that next time I go to Ubuntu [05:11] HeatherHacks: run update-gru from terminal [05:11] Cancambo, i hate to leave you hanging but i have to go. i hope you get your problem solved [05:11] Real quick [05:11] http://pastebin.com/TzhLnFk8 is the log from my router [05:11] alguien que hable español? [05:11] !es [05:11] I'm getting rather scared now. Can someone help me undo what I was trying to do in terminal to get zsnes? [05:11] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[05:12] HeatherHacks: run update-grub from terminal [05:12] Cancambo, it looks like it's making a connection but those may be from windows? really i need to go, i have 3 little ones to put to bed. :) [05:12] E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list [05:12] E: The list of sources could not be read.

[05:13] How would I do that? [05:13] mickster04, it gives me 'cannot find a device for /' [05:13] And thanks kaosZERO :) [05:13] hi guys! i have a question about installing my broadcom [05:13] driver [05:13] oops sorry [05:14] After resuming from suspend or hibernate, my CPU goes to 50% ( ksoftirqd/0 is responsible for that ), Any ideas? [05:14] to tiox: when trying some thing new, better first backup your system. then try what ever you want. [05:14] rofl [05:14] Well, what thing do I type now to undo my changes and fix Synaptic? [05:14] i have a question about installing my broadcom driver.. it's asking me to delete all other drivers or else the wl will not work.. if i delete other drivers ... my internet in windows will still work? [05:14] HeatherHacks: sudo apt-get install grub2 [05:14] some one could help me with bind9 doubt? [05:15] You could save/copy the /var/log/syslog file to a card or other removable media... [05:15] mickster04, package frub2 has no installation candidate [05:15] HeatherHacks: grub2 [05:15] frub? [05:15] qwtf?

I'll wait you... [05:17] HeatherHacks: ermm...then update-grub should work? ermm... [05:18] What do I have to type into terminal to fix my error I'm having with Synaptic? [05:18] mickster04, when I run it I get: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [05:18] tiox: whats the error [05:18] it works in one way... i only can make a ping from a station to the server,but when a make a ping from the server to station,it doesnt work [05:18] wget not known on line 57 [05:19] Let me paste the entire thing again: E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list [05:19] E: The list of sources could not be read.

[05:20] tiox: paste your /etc/apt/sources.list [05:20] HeatherHacks: how did you set up ubuntu? anything non-default [05:20] there could be simply some thing wrong with your source.list file. [05:22] mickster04, I manually created my own partitions. There are two hard drives. One has a small 100mb partition used by win7, a larger win7 partition, then a 10gb / partition, then a larger /home partition, then a swap partion. The other hard drive is just one big ntfs partition [05:22] HeatherHacks: try mount --bind /dev /mnt/new/dev in terminal and hten try and run it?

Must I open gedit as root? [05:31] soundconverter ranjan make's it easy [05:31] greenpuddin: or it will be a plugin [05:31] tiox: yes [05:31] tiox: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [05:31] tiox: gksu for gedit but yes [05:31] mickster04: k lemme check [05:32] Blast, pastebin is giving a internal server error [05:32] mickster04, : in 32-25 does the broadcom card issues fixed?

[05:32] if they were say .flac I could understand [05:32] mickster04, I think I see my problem [05:32] izinucs, actually i want to use ogg and to avoid using patented formats, isnt that a good idea? [05:33] mickster04: not seeing anything bro, i'll check the repository? [05:33] greenpuddin: yeah [05:33] ranjan: sure.. but converting mp3's isn't.. you'll loose quality [05:33] yes ranjan it is a nice idea, however taking a compressed format and then further compressing it degrades the sound [05:33] the only problem i had on my current kernel is that my broadcom card aint supported...i can really config my interface properly... :( [05:33] HeatherHacks: oh? [05:33] mickster04, both my hard drives are set to boot and my storage drive that shouldn't be set to boot is sda [05:33] HeatherHacks: oh ok [05:33] What if I don't know who made my Wireless card? [05:34] try lspci Pentium3 [05:34] mickster04, so I think grub is installed to the storage drive while windows' boot thing is on the other drive and the other drive is being booted. I'll try screwing with my bios to test this [05:34] Pentium3: sudo lshw will tell you lots about your computer including the wireless card [05:34] anyone here uses vrrp? [05:34] mickster04: weird, did a quick apt-cache search for empathy, don't see any plugins, just debug and common files... [05:34] izinucs, ORI0N but, i tried with the oggconvert software, but i didnt find any loss of quality. it was of the same quality as far as i know and was much smaller in size [05:34] ORI0N: ok [05:34] Pentium3, : terminal > type this iwconfig [05:34] then I'll disconnect the extra drive and reinstall ubuntu [05:35] incandeza, I think it was, here's my syslog file: http://pastebin.org/77389 [05:35] Ahhh... fuck.

[05:37] don't know for sure [05:37] Okat, supposedly resolved, but I still see the warning telling me an error is still there. [05:37] Krish_err_34, you may try ArgoUML from Tigris.org too [05:37] Hmmm... still the old error... maybe it's fixed. [05:37] mickster04: heh, found where the logs are stored, but no option yet [05:37] ORI0N, oh great, is there a software like that :) [05:37] ORI0N, its nice to hear :) [05:37] Cancambo [05:37] greenpuddin: yeah no idea i dont use empathy [05:37] tiox: Your sources.list should look like this now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/507754/ [05:37] Tigris is Sub version control right ?

[05:38] coolroot: the kernel supports plenty of cards. just run update? [05:38] ok i tried installing my wl driver but it's not working for some reason [05:38] Oh i see, I didn't add that last bit in. [05:38] if you open two firefox windows, and configure a proxy in the second one, will the first one be affected? [05:38] coolroot: go into system>admin>update manager >settings [05:39] mickster04, : i did that but still.....some broadcom cards aint supported yet [05:39] coolroot: may need to look at ndiswrapper then [05:39] coolroot: not as stable, but should work for you [05:39] im running my wireless broadcom card using windows package manager got no choice but to use it [05:40] anal_christ, yes i think so [05:40] coolroot: and then check propsed [05:40] anal_christ, i think that can be bypassed by maintaining separate firefox profiles [05:40] i'm having broadcom card problems too.. my wifi doesn't work in ubuntu and i thought i would just have to download the sta driver but i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong...? [05:40] moop what card do you have [05:40] 4322ag [05:41] right im off...dinner time [05:41] do you know what chipset it is [05:41] isaquealves, see anything in my syslog file?

[05:41] Chaos2358: ffmpeg [05:41] and/or where's? [05:41] no, gravity [05:41] how do i find out [05:42] Okay, seems the error is now gone after I checked for updates, but "Something wicked" happened when I kept the dfreer repo in. [05:42] gravitty1187 in uss or terminal? [05:42] is it an internal card, usb, or pcmia [05:42] oh! internal [05:42] Dropped that, now it says no problems. [05:42] gravity1187 usc [05:42] Thanks guys.

[05:54] Abrahadabra: and ya, come on don't flood, on a channel this busy it's annoying [05:54] flametai1: not sure mine was there on install [05:54] mine was there on install [05:54] can you install virtualbox onto 64bit server? [05:55] i_is_broke: sure [05:55] can a machine with a gt240 amd 240 and 2 gig of ram do blue ray from hdd ? === sanoop is now known as terminator [05:55] i_is_broke: i did [05:55] Chaos2358: you may need to install ffmpeg from the medibuntu repos to enable all of the proprietery formats illegal in some countries [05:55] i_is_broke: get vbox from their site [05:55] izinucs: was it the one from virtualbox or the repos? [05:55] piglit: check the specs on your GPU, thats what will count [05:55] Cancambo, ndiswrapper should be working... [05:55] Hi all i need little advice [05:55] Patriik, fire away. [05:55] 2 advices actually [05:56] i_is_broke: get one from the vbox site itself. [05:56] isaquealves, it works enough to recognize my card, and networks [05:56] No, you only get one. [05:56] * tiox is joking [05:56] Patrick: no, don't do it, and yes, leave her [05:56] Gravity1187 sorry to be an inconvenience but i'm new to ubuntu could you tell me how to do that? [05:56] But I can't get past that [05:56] meep: that should be supported from the the restricted drivers in ubuntu [05:56] 1. how do i get science program in my ubuntu? [05:56] Is there any way to automatically log out a user x-minutes after the screensaver locks the session? [05:56] What kind of science? [05:56] I can't access webpages [05:56] thanks , izinucs , obs3rv3r [05:56] i mean space, planets etc [05:56] would that be under system? [05:56] * tiox scratches his head [05:56] Patriik: what application are we talking of here? [05:56] Cancambo, if it recognizes your network, try the following [05:57] Patriik: look in the ubuntu software center to seeif anything fits your needs, if not then go to google.com [05:57] Yep. [05:57] Alright, next advice. [05:57] meep: correct [05:57] i read that there should be a restricted drivers manager [05:57] gravity1187 sorry to be an inconvenience but i'm new to ubuntu could you tell me how to do that? [05:57] And remember, you promised two. :P [05:57] Patriik: Yes do what noisewaterphd suggested, else if you are talking of some specific application..share! [05:57] jamiewan: Where abouts should the # of desktops be? [05:57] One other thing I noticed when booting up. It conencts to the network for 30 seconds or so, but I can't access any sites, the it drops the conenction, and then it has a very difficult time connecting again [05:57] but when i checked my ubuntu it wasn't there [05:57] !info celestia | Patriik [05:57] Patriik: celestia (source: celestia): A real-time visual space simulation.

[06:02] isaquealves, I got this http://imgur.com/t5x5P.png and then did this http://imgur.com/fMqFU.png [06:02] it is reserving the apt function [06:02] Patriik: enable animations in compiz and stuff [06:02] clear [06:02] Patriik: use compiz desktop manager. [06:02] I think that's what you mean [06:02] slowly please o_O cant speak english so well ;D [06:02] !ccsm | Patriik [06:02] Patriik: 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 [06:03] Patriik: You will need to install compiz-fusion-plugins extra package, restart both compiz and ccsm then find burn in animations add-on plugins [06:03] Patriik: well then read it as fast as you want, it isn't going anywhere [06:03] ok ok wait so what i have to do now at first [06:04] Chaos2358: you still in here [06:04] Patriik: Read ... that is what you need do to as the first thing. === shcherba1 is now known as shcherbak [06:04] Patriik: Open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins extra' or if you feel more comfortable with a gui, use synaptic to install the package [06:04] gravity1187 yea reading some of this documentation [06:05] Chaos2358: ok one thing after you add that repo you will need to sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg and then sudo apt-get install ffmpeg so that you install the one from medibuntu [06:05] everything is installed, what now [06:05] My wireless connection is stuck at (need authentication) - Anyone have any idea what can be wrong? [06:05] ok thanx [06:06] ! who | Patriik [06:06] Patriik: 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 :) [06:07] how do i get special effect for example when i close something, it will burn. i've already turned on extra effect in desktop menu. (everything installed) [06:07] is there a apt for src, i wanted to see gksudo source code [06:08] xjkx: if you have apt-src lines in sources.list (which default installs do), "apt-get source gksu", downloads to current directory. [06:09] Patriik: you go into compiz, effects tab, animations [06:09] rww: by the way, whats with gksu and gksudo [06:09] tahnks !! [06:09] thanks* [06:10] xjkx: they're equivalent to su and sudo. Ubuntu doesn't tend to use su, since the root account is disabled by default. [06:11] rww: i know, i meant what's with having two packages that do the same, and I have a theory that gksu and gksudo are the same, since looking for gksudo in source code results in error, they only have gksu :P [06:12] xjkx: hence me saying gksu in the command above. gksudo and gksu are both in the gksu package. [06:12] one may even be a symlink to the other and it changes behavior based on the name used to call it, I don't know [06:13] "gksudo and gksu are both in the gksu package" that's what i wanted to know thanks [06:14] why in the world would anyone want to use Mono, isnt this just a new implementation of c# that is opensource ? [06:14] i have a laptop with 8 gigs of ram, how can i find out how much of it ubuntu 10.04 32 bit is us‌ing? [06:14] glithcd: free -m [06:14] is there any way i can make it utilize all 8 gigs? [06:14] The used column on -/+ buffers/cache: says the actual amount [06:14] Is dfreer still an active community member? [06:15] glithcd: Why would you want to do so. Linux always uses the free memory. [06:15] glithcd: A memory is never free in linux. Free memory is useless memory. Linux uses free memory to cache objects. [06:15] hello everyone [06:15] !pae | glithcd [06:15] glithcd: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [06:16] Is it possible to use netbook remix on my compaq notebook? [06:16] though if I remember correctly, 10.04 uses PAE by default if it's useful [06:16] well i was doin somthin earlier(i dont remember what particularly, but it said that it was only using like 2 gigs [06:16] Is there any way to automatically log out a user x-minutes after the screensaver locks the session? [06:16] rww, had to install it here [06:16] trans123: you can use Netbook Edition on pretty much any computer that runs regular Ubuntu Desktop [06:17] i just want to make sure its using everything i paid for to the full extent [06:17] bazhang: hrm. maybe I'm thinking of 10.10. iono. [06:17] thanks rww [06:18] gravity1187 you still here? [06:18] PAE needs the hardware support , doesn't it? [06:18] Cancambo, [06:18] is there anyway to make sure its using all 8 gigs to the full extent? [06:18] Yes? [06:18] I think you dont need to define static IP address [06:19] If your windows conenction is working with DHCP enabled, [06:19] What are the vulnerabilities of this setup?---> http://mazeoflies.com/2008/06/09/ubuntu-hard-drive-encryption-with-external-key [06:19] your connection in Ubuntu, should work with that too [06:20] glithcd: 8 Gig for a desktop is too much. I guess. [06:20] ubottu, is there anyway i can make sure that im using all 8 gigs to the fullest extent? [06:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:20] Hi, is zenity installed by default in 10.04 ? [06:20] Take note of this and at the next time you boot into ubuntu, define the addresses as 'only automatic' [06:20] obs3rv3r, its a laptop [06:21] glithcd: You use it for your regular purpose and not as a server. That is what I meant. [06:21] !info zenity [06:21] zenity (source: zenity): Display graphical dialog boxes from shell scripts. In component main, is optional. Version 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 277 kB, installed size 5704 kB [06:21] glithcd: or do you ? [06:21] This will allow you to set DNS Servers addresses... [06:21] howdy [06:21] then yes you are right [06:21] but will work with DHCP [06:21] no i don not use it as a sever [06:21] isaquealves, I think that was the original settings [06:21] *server [06:21] Isn't that default? [06:22] glithcd: if so, you wanting to have all the memory used would ont be the right thing. Your laptop is working fine , you are getting to run all the applications you want. That is something you go for. [06:22] ok [06:22] glithcd: a PAE kernel is required so a process can use 4 GB if required and still other processes can have access to the rest of the memory. [06:22] i just wanted to make sure i was getting the full usage out of it [06:22] glithcd: Else I would suggest you go with a 64 bit installation. [06:23] but i heard that 64 bit linux is kinda ify [06:23] thter: /boot is technically unencrypted doesn't have any particular integrity checking, someone could potentially replace the kernel with something that will log passphrases or something [06:23] its been running fine for me [06:23] I'm seeing your complete syslog [06:23] glithcd: If you are getting to run all your applications and still not having any problems. You should be fine. [06:23] that all of it is not fully developed [06:23] Running 64 here, no problems [06:23] glithcd: I have been running 64-bit. No probs! [06:23] x64 Ubuntu 10.04 is very stable and I don't think you [06:23] thter: actually it mentions as such at the end in the summary [06:24] And yes I would suggest you stick with LTS . [06:24] 'd even notice any issues. haven't encountered x32 only stuff [06:24] glthcd: I honestly forgot I was even on 64 bit. Had to do a uname -a to find out, just to make sure I installed the right version of a package. [06:24] exactly [06:24] i think im gonna have to give 64 bit a try then [06:25] im gonna burn a x64 cd nd run it live to see how i like it [06:25] 64bit isn't as bad as people claim if your hardware is reasonably common [06:25] well my laptop is basically brand new [06:26] i got a del inspiron n5010 [06:26] unfortunately, laptops have a bad tendancy to have custom hardware which isn't "common" === bilalakhtar_ is now known as cdbs [06:26] still, trying it out on a livecd shouldn't hurt [06:26] i think that would be the best idea [06:27] before i go nd erase my current installation [06:27] quiescens: yeah i agree as long as you stay native....i'm pulling my hairs out trying to figure out why wine+civ5 won't work right on this 64b 10.10 ...works great on my other (10.04) machine [06:27] i haven't been able to get wine to work with any modern games. at least the steam version [06:27] hcook: Same version of wine? [06:27] i use wine alot actually [06:28] well i should leave civ5 out of it...counterstrike won't run either, and that runs on darn near everything [06:28] today morning have upgraded partly to 10.10. just fine. [06:28] i usually just use it to play games [06:28] Targeter: What I do is buy the license on steam then obtain the actual CD. [06:28] never gotten it to play cs source or l4d 1 and 2 [06:28] keeps crapping out on the install [06:28] Targeter: have you checked the appdb? [06:28] dugger5688: um...i think so. if not i've got 1.3.3 on the working machine and 1.3.4 on this one that won't run [06:28] i know 2 isn't really going to work [06:28] the app database? yea [06:29] glithcd: I use wine to play CS. It works fine. [06:29] kinda a noob when it comes to wine sadly [06:29] cs? [06:29] counter strike? [06:29] glithcd: Yes. [06:29] hcook: These are the great mysteries... could be different gfx cards? [06:29] obs3rv3r, ok..lol [06:29] quiescens, you get that ? [06:29] i dont think ive ever actually played that [06:29] Yo yo. I've installed ubuntu a on my laptop a couple of times using a USB drive created by both unetbootin and ubuntus startup disk creator. Both times I can only boot into Ubuntu with the USB drive plugged, otherwise I have to repair grub in order for ubuntu to boot without the USB drive. Any thoughts on why this is happening? [06:29] im more of a driving game kinda guy [06:29] glithcd: Try it. its awesome :D === needhelp1 is now known as Guest70932 [06:29] ill look for it online [06:30] dugger5688: correct. i've used nvidia since tnt2 days...but this new fancy machine has 3 monitors so i had to go to an ati 5750 [06:30] its an fps right? [06:30] @antiIP thats a common issue [06:30] first time with ati [06:30] your grub isn't installing to the right place. check to make sure your actual hard drive is the one getting the grub bootloader [06:31] it might be putting it on the usb drive by mistake [06:31] Targeter: Ok. So, there's probably no fix for it then? [06:31] antIP: you can reinstall grub on its own though, you dont need to reinstall it all [06:31] yea [06:32] otherwise theres a advanced button on the normal install that allows you to choose where grub is installed [06:32] steam installs, and it installs and starts both cs-source and civ5...but as soon as i start a game on either (like, when it starts doing 3d stuff) it freezes X completely. here's the output: http://pastebin.ca/1956167 [06:32] so I need to install vtun 2.6-4 on ubuntu 10.4. the package refuses to install sayign it requires liblzo1 and libssl.0.9.7. both of which have NEWER versions installed, but vtund 2.6-4 seems to be hard coded for these specific old libraries. I can install vtund using dpkg --ignore-dependency but then the next time I run apt-get to do anything, it complains that vtun has unmet dependencies. how am I supposed to resolve this? [06:32] but you should be able to rescue boot in and do a reinstall of grub to the hardrive then tell grub to update [06:32] obs3rv3r, i think i will friend [06:32] quiescens, ?!??? [06:32] obs3rv3r, thx for the advice [06:33] Hi, is there anyway to revert my os back to 10.04 after a broken upgrade to 10.10? [06:33] reqem: no [06:33] Hey, where do I put files if I wanna use dpkg commands on them? [06:33] ChogyDan: really? [06:33] obs3rv3r, im making sure i have the PAE installed right now [06:33] Like, for instance, using --force-architecture [06:33] reqem: you can backup, and do a clean install. But why not try to fix the upgrade? [06:33] glithcd: You will see PAE if you do uname -a [06:34] ChogyDan, I guess I could do that. All I have is 10.04 LiveCD on a USB drive. [06:34] glithcd: but you have enough resources I would suggest you go with 64 bit if its all possible. [06:34] reqem: come to +1 [06:35] hcook: That ati could be the problem. To be fair, my friends ATI gaming rig sucks with windows too. My bargain nvidia buries it by not crashing every 10 minutes. [06:35] obs3rv3r, his is what uname -a tells me-- Linux glithcd-laptop 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 20:26:08 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [06:35] sup guys [06:35] glithcd: its not pae [06:35] Sup h4x07 [06:36] so what does that mean? [06:36] hey what is the code to edit files in terminal ex grub [06:36] glithcd, not pae [06:36] nano [06:36] something gedit /etc/default/grub [06:36] so i should not install the pae stuff from the site then? [06:36] UbuntuNoob: vi /etc/default/grub [06:36] UbuntuNoob: for terminal editting: sudo nano file [06:36] glithcd: its not pae [06:36] dam [06:36] dugger5688: hah. yeah, crashing fast is no match for stable slow. tortois > hare [06:37] i stated installing the software a min ago [06:37] glithcd: try sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic-pae [06:37] Hi, I have installed Ubuntu using WUBI, how can I make ubuntu appear first instead of WIndows in boot menu ? [06:37] Is there any way to automatically log out a user x-minutes after the screensaver locks the session? [06:37] theres some other code i used earlier that was something like gksu or something allong those lines followed by gedit /etc/whatever [06:37] glithcd, install the package linux-generic-pae and it will bring in the rest [06:37] Interestingly enough, (and fairly ironic),Lubuntu comes with 32bit PAE kernel by default. [06:37] UbuntuNoob: it's better to learn how to actually do it on the commandline [06:37] how would i do that? [06:37] UbuntuNoob, gksudo [06:37] thanks [06:37] yea but obs3rv3r just said that my system didnt have pae capabilities..? [06:37] UbuntuNoob: i said just a moment ago [06:37] glithcd: No it has. [06:38] it does? [06:38] glithcd, install the package I mentioned [06:38] glthcd: you just lack the kernel. [06:38] im getting so confused [06:38] mickster84: How do you install grub? Through the package manager? Does it automatically install proper so that I wouldn't have to boot from a USB drive? [06:38] UbuntuNoob: yes you use gksu or gksudo to run graphical apps with extra priveledges [06:38] glithcd: I said I would still recommend you to go after 64 bit if its possible for you. [06:38] what was it called again? [06:38] linux-generic-pae [06:38] thanks [06:38] i plan on giving it a try === si is now known as Guest59191 [06:38] glithcd: sorry if I confused you. [06:38] lol its ok [06:39] i install that with the command, sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae [06:39] hey peeps [06:39] glithcd: install the pae kernel as bazhang says and you'll be fine [06:39] Anyone having luck with Gnome 3 (shell) with current Ubuntu? I'd love to test it out, but I don't what to run into any major issues. [06:40] Hi Eryn_1983_FL [06:40] glithcd: Yes. [06:40] ok thx again [06:40] antIP: I suggest installing, then trying it out in a guest session [06:40] antIP: I think its awful, no intention of using it [06:41] * dugger5688 agrees with ActionParsnip [06:42] ActionParsnip, so theres no reason that i should give 64 bit a try then? [06:42] ActionParsnip, because i havent heard anything good about it yet [06:42] dugger5688: That makes sense. I think gnome 3 looks like utter genius, but I wont know until I've tried it. The current menu system that we've had since the early 90s is (IMHO) not very efficient. [06:42] antIP: you could run a vm to. Test , or just go for it and remove it if you dislike it, its just a DE like KDE or LXDE [06:42] ActionParsnip, anything in particular really [06:43] i could run 64 bit ubuntu in a vm inside of 32 bit ubuntu? [06:43] that would be emulation but [06:43] glithcd: no, the cpu must be 64bit , theho [06:44] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I noticed that removing it is a simple command. But I don't have a lot of experience in running multiple DEs. Actually, I've never used, or set up, a guest account either. I don't think I'll set up aw a whole VM for it. [06:44] ActionParsnip, it is [06:44] ActionParsnip, intel core i5 [06:44] The host must be 64bit, and the cpu has to support virtualization, glithcd [06:44] sory was using the google oracle to look up my question.. [06:44] see i'm learning :) [06:44] glithcd: not all 64bit cpus will run 64bit guests [06:45] ActionParsnip, how do i find out if mine will? [06:45] Eryn_1983_FL: sweet :) [06:45] ActionParsnip, its a brand new dell [06:45] ActionParsnip, i just got it in the last few weeks [06:45] ActionParsnip, glithcd you could use qemu to emulate x86_64 on x86. [06:45] glithcd: look in bios, not sure what the feature s called. The model is moot as is newness. You need to know the exact chip [06:46] ActionParsnip, what is qemu? [06:46] !qemu [06:46] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [06:46] lol [06:46] i am installing xomonad.. [06:46] ActionParsnip, so its like virtual box then? [06:46] if it was in the repo.. [06:47] glithcd: if you use: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i model ,it should tell you what it is and you can see if it will support it [06:47] glithcd: a bit, yes [06:47] already installed [06:47] glithcd, not exactly. virtualbox is virtualization, while qemu does emulation [06:47] icarus-c, ok [06:47] emulation is much slower [06:48] whats up [06:48] ActionParsnip, this was the output [06:48] ActionParsnip, model : 37 [06:48] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40GHz [06:48] model : 37 [06:48] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40GHz [06:48] model : 37 [06:48] glithcd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:48] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40GHz [06:48] wtf [06:48] glithcd: I don't need the output, you do. Use websearches to see if it will do it [06:49] glithcd: whgat you just did is called flooding, pasting loads of lines all at once [06:49] ok that is just wrong.. it turned off my music once i switched users.. [06:49] guh [06:49] BRB [06:49] glithcd: i5s should have VTx (I think that's the intel version.) [06:49] ARRGGG [06:49] i hate relarning stuff.. [06:49] daamn GUI [06:50] ActionParsnip: Synaptic wont let me install gnome-shell because of dependency issues. I think It depends on something that depends on on an older version of xulrunner-1.9.2 ;( === mikey is now known as Guest53156 [06:51] antIP: add the mozilla ppa, it may have it === Guest53156 is now known as mik3y [06:52] antIP, you really aren't missing much. It's a mess. [06:52] Hell O [06:53] Apollyon: Welcom E [06:53] how do I setup a ssh server that only allows one user name? [06:54] dugger5688: Yeah, I figured it's not really ready for use. I just wanted to take a look at it. Do you think it's even worth it? [06:55] anyone know anything about wine? [06:55] any one using Julinux here ??? [06:55] antIP, if it's giving you a ton of trouble. Then no. It reminds me of a mobile OS. Like one where they want you to be able to multi-task. But not well. [06:55] momentum: interesting idea, there may be something in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [06:55] any one using Julinux here ??? [06:55] momentum: add to ssh config file -> AllowUsers john mary [06:56] this new distribution of Ubuntu I like but i cant figure out how to use wine [06:56] is it possible to run mplayer rescursively, such that if you have a folder (artist), with subfolders (albums), it will create a playlist for all the songs (recursively) [06:57] dugger5688: I can see where you're coming from. Aptitude wants me to downgrade xulrunner. I really don't want to bother with that right now. [06:59] antIP: you should change your name to 'analP', it's more offensive that way [06:59] Irssi: WARNING: LEGACY-MD5 should not be used, install Digest::SHA to get rid of this warning. [06:59] w4r: nice; thanks [06:59] in ubuntu, what's the right one to manage more than one id_rsa ? [06:59] what should i install ? [06:59] antIP: the mozilla ppa has a recent xulrunner library afaik [07:00] oops [07:00] wrong channel [07:00] Has anyone else had any problems with DVD playback on Movie Player and VLC recently? I don't know what happened, but In that last couple of days I can't play DVDs. VLC and Movie Player just crash. Sometimes after 2 minutes. Other times they crash on startup. Is there a way to view a system log to see if I installed something recently that might have cause a problem? [07:00] uLinux: you don't need to install anything off just that message. Md5summing is fine too [07:01] antIP: do you have libdvdcss2 installed? [07:01] antIP: tried other players? [07:01] anal_christ, i would first create a playlist (with tool like find, sort) then play it with mplayer [07:02] ActionParsnip: but i'd like to know how can i install Disgest::SHA and use it [07:02] ActionParsnip: Yes I have libdvdcss2 installed. [07:02] hi, I have just one quick question. What seems to be the problem with my wine? I have downloaded Winavi, a windows based video converter. With windows xp, it seems to be working fine, it can convert videos fine the fonts are okay. However using wine, the fonts with the application seems to be distorted and it gave me an error everytime i try to convert some videos. Can someone help me on... [07:02] ...this or any advise perhaps? [07:03] ActionParsnip: Well, VLC and Movie Player are the only two movie players I have installled. Would you like to suggest another? I'll install it and test it. (I still want to fix VLC and Movie Player though.) [07:03] Hmmm... something went wrong with this VM http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6429973/Screenshot.png [07:04] uLinux: in a terminal run: sha5sum ,I think. If you get an output from command-not-found you will be told what to install. Simply. Installing an sha5 checker does nothing. If you still are going to check stuff with md5 then you are wasting your time [07:05] ActionParsnip: While doing an apt-get update after installing mozilla ppa I got this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/507804/ [07:05] antIP: gnome-mplayer :) [07:05] how do I allow port 22 traffic? [07:06] via ipables [07:06] ActionParsnip: Installing gnome-mplayer now. [07:06] tryiong to install ubuntu onto a dell xps no dice. I boot up rescue cd --> gparted and I see 2 hard drives when there is only one. One says linux mapper (linear) any ideas on how to fix that to get ubuntu on? Ubuntu version was LTS [07:07] hi can somebody tell me any open source or ubuntu/debian base video converter? [07:07] kulas25: what do you want to convert from-to? [07:07] kulas25, ffmpeg, mencoder (from mplayer) [07:08] kulas25, what are you trying to do? [07:08] icarus-c: sort will fuck up the order of the songs though [07:08] antIP: I suggest you review the dvd documentation [07:08] !dvd | antip [07:08] antip: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:08] icarus-c: especially when file names in albums are ordered 01.meow 02.cats 03.purrr.mp3 [07:08] !language | anal_christ [07:08] anal_christ: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:08] antIP: mplayer is one of the oldest and one of the most respected players around [07:09] anal_christ, well, use what suit your need then [07:09] Gnea: wmv to 3gp [07:09] icarus-c: thanks dude, will check dat out later. [07:09] icarus-c: i was just wondering if you did mplaeyr ./**/ like in zsh, whether it would work regardless of the variance in folder depths [07:09] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I've heard of it. For some reason I thought mplayer was just short for Movie Player or something. It seems to be playing fine so far... [07:09] kulas25: I've had limited success with avidemux, but yeah, ffmpeg is very much ftw === ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [07:10] antIP: it can do pretty much what vlc does, but has done for longer [07:10] ay't will try that ffmpeg later.. thanks [07:10] these days, I've noticed better stability with vlc [07:10] Gnea: which shell do you use? [07:10] http://tinyurl.com/2duacwe wow. that is the fucking error I keep getting. how can I fix this? [07:11] anal_christ: bash [07:11] ActionParsnip: Well, it just stopped. The screen went black. Very strange. So that's 3 apps now that aren't able to play DVDs for longer than about 2 minutes at most. [07:11] Gnea: do you know the answer to my question? [07:11] !language | GoogleCat99293 [07:11] Gnea: why aren't you jumping on GoogleCat99293's ass for swearing ? [07:11] GoogleCat99293: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:11] anal_christ: sorry, didn't see your question [07:11] antIP: If you run "dmesg" do you see any IO errors? [07:11] antIP, is your video file corrupted? [07:11] anal_christ: why do you bother to ask? please stick to the topic. [07:12] antIP: i'd check you dvd plugin [07:12] spartan07: was trying to convert wmv to 3gp [07:12] sorry. I am just getting impatient. Did not mean to swear. I just have this crazy login error.

[07:13] GoogleCat99293: stop taht [07:13] antIP: sounds like a dirty disk / dirty cd lens / dying drive [07:13] spartan07: VLC, Mplayer and Movie Player are crashing on multiple DVDs. So I don't think it's corruption. [07:14] antIP: That's a form of DRM. Use ddrescue to make an iso of the DVD then play that. [07:14] ActionParsnip: Disk is perfect. The DVD player was working fine a couple of days ago. Hmmm. :( [07:15] antIP, did update manager run from when it work till now? maybe something installed and broke the video playback? [07:15] haha [07:15] is mencoder the best solution for when muxing an mp3 to avi (of equal length) ? [07:15] the google guy says *2* things and gets booted, and some guy named "anal_christ" wonders why anyone could possibly have anything against him [07:15] comedy! [07:16] Jordan_U: Oh, really? The Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 2282330 is due to DRM? Because I played these same DVDs within the last couple of weeks on this same Linux box without a problem? Are you sure? [07:16] gdb: googlecat was just lame anyway [07:17] Hello, I am trying to run sshd and connect from another machine. Networking works fine, and I can connect. After a correct user/password it just hangs, no shell starts. Any ideas? [07:17] kulas25, something like " ffmpeg -i input.wmv -ar 8000 -ac 1 -ab 12.2k output.3gp " [07:17] spartan07: Yeah, I did some updates recently. I usually update every day or so. Other formats are playing fine. Everything except DVDs plays fine. Even DVD ISOs play fine. Only Physical DVDs in the dvd drive are not playing. [07:18] Lellow: I have no idea. But have you tried invoking ssh with 1, 2, or 3 -v options? (ie; ssh -v, ssh -vv, ssh -vvv respectively) Sometimes the clue to your solution can be found in the resulting output. [07:18] antIP, what version ubuntu you running? [07:18] gdb: ill try that [07:18] antIP: The fact that it played well before suggests it's not DRM that's causing the problem now. But yes, that message is consistent with DRM (Disk manufacturers add bogus checksums to simulate scratches on the disk). [07:18] Does anyone know if there is a way to share a disk partition with both the main os and one in virtual box? [07:18] icarus-c: so we really do have to do it in the terminal? [07:18] Lellow: :-) [07:18] gdb: also, if i do 'w' on the machine im trying to connect to, the remote user appears to be logged in [07:19] kulas25, soon you'll find it easier to do in terminal :) [07:19] HGOUTYT: nfs mounts ? [07:19] kulas25, but i believe there is GUI frontend for ffmpeg outthere [07:19] Lellow: Is the behavior consistent? [07:19] oh okay.. ay't will try this one out when i got home [07:19] Jordan_U: In order to install ddrescue I have to uninstall a whole bunch of packages. Here they are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/507810/ [07:19] kulas25, but it may end up with a more complex interface. [07:19] gdb: seems to be, I haven't been able to get a shell yet [07:19] ahh ic. [07:19] spartan07: I'm running 10.04 [07:19] leme check the docs then [07:19] thanks guys [07:20] gdb: it says the user is logged in on pts/0 [07:20] Lellow: I honestly don't know then. I've seen what you describe, several times, but it's always a 1 off. ie; happens, so I kill ssh and relog again and it works. [07:20] Lellow: Is there a bash process with that pty open? Are you seeing this on the console? [07:20] w4r: nfs? [07:20] Lellow: $ sudo fuser /dev/pts/0 [07:20] Lellow: then check the process list (ps -ef) for those pids and see if any are shells [07:21] kulas25, 3gp is nasty, hence we need that -ar 8000 -ac 1 -ab 12.2k thing [07:21] antIP: If should have said before, even though the comand is "ddrescue" the package name is "gddrescue" (dd_rescue, the program installed by the ddrescue package, is a different program). [07:21] think ffmpeg gui is WinFF could be wrong [07:21] gdb: yep, bash is running on pts/0 [07:22] huh, wow [07:22] hrm [07:22] gdb: the verbose output of ssh even says " debug2: shell request accepted on channel 0 " [07:23] Lellow: I'm curious, with pts/0 busy, are you able to login and get a shell on a different pseudo terminal? [07:23] ahh ic. can we also set the screen of the output? [07:23] Jordan_U: Hmmm. gddrescue still want's to uninstall those packes. [07:23] gdb: as in, try sshing in twice? [07:23] like since, i'll be using it to a 320*240 screen.. something like that? [07:23] Lellow: Yes [07:24] antIP: What happens if you just run "sudo apt-get upgrade"? [07:24] ok guys, i know its asked a million times.. i downloaded wifi drivers from the Broadcom website, but i need to know where to put/install them [07:24] gdb: still no shell, now bash is running on both pts/0 and pts/1 [07:24] Lellow: Is this machine running with an unusually high load level? [07:24] kulas25, yes [07:24] Jordan_U, I thought same thing as well [07:24] ToddEDM: Don't use the drivers from thier website, use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [07:25] Hi everyone, I am really lost here. I am sitting on a friends netbook ( I don't have root privelages) and I need to disable the touchpad. I'm using Xfce and ubuntu 10.04. Thanks. [07:25] icarus-c: cool [07:25] Jordan_U: You might be right about the DRM. I was under the impression that these DVDs were played on this linux box within the last few weeks since I installed Ubuntu, BUT, I was just asking my wife if she was SURE and she said that she may have played them on our old windows installation (which is now long gone). Soooo....DRM may be the culprit. Except that we did play at least one of them on my Linux Mint laptop just fine. [07:25] gdb: 90% idle, ~10% mem used [07:25] icarus-c am exited to get my hands dirty when i get home [07:25] Lellow: And the load average? [07:25] Jordan_U there are no drivers there [07:25] kulas25, add -s 320x240 before output.3gp will do [07:25] Lellow: ie; low CPU use and high load average would indicate disk thrashing - i'm just curious if the kernel is busy doing something else. [07:26] gdb: 0.28, 0.17,0.20 [07:26] huh well, that's not it [07:26] kulas25, anyway, man ffmpeg would tell all ffmpeg can do [07:26] icarus-c: copy thanks a bunch === Guest70932 is now known as needhelp1 [07:26] ToddEDM: Are you sure you have a broadcom wireless card? [07:26] Jordan_U: Again, ISOs of other DVDs are playing fine. I don't know if that means anything though. [07:26] lol yes Jordan_U [07:26] i have ubuntu 10.4 and a virtual box of windows 7 is there a way to have them both see my 2nd partition [07:26] icarus-c: cool, you guys are a life saver. [07:26] 10.04* [07:26] Lellow: How are you seeing this information? A remote connection or on the console of the machine? [07:26] jordan its a Broadcom 4357 [07:27] join #php [07:27] jordan_U: It wants to upgrade some packages? Do you want me to paste bin them? [07:27] kulas25, one extra advantage of command tool is that you could easier process stuff in bulk. convert 1000 .mpg to .3gp ? no worries :P [07:27] gdb: tty on the machine. local [07:27] icarus-c: really? can u tell me the command for batch file process? [07:28] icarus-c: am looking for tutorials right now. [07:28] icarus-c: you really are a life saver man.. [07:28] antIP, does it give you errors when you try to play or does it just not play? [07:29] ToddEDM: Download this http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz and extract it to /lib/firmware/ then "sudo rmmod b43; sudo modprobe b43". === stephen is now known as Guest75897 [07:29] ToddEDM: That is, unless you can connect to the internet from the machine in question, in which case you can just run "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter". [07:29] spartan07: All players either crash or the screen goes black as soon as it begins playing or within no more than 2 minutes or so. No errors at all. [07:30] trying to install ubuntu onto a dell xps no dice. I boot up rescue cd --> gparted and I see 2 hard drives when there is only one. One says linux mapper (linear) any ideas on how to fix that to get ubuntu on? Ubuntu version was LTS [07:30] thx Jordan_U, i will try it [07:30] ToddEDM: You [07:30] I'm trying to get two computers to network through an AT&T 2Wire Modem. How can I do that? Right now, all I see is Windows Network at Places/Network? [07:30] ToddEDM: ... You're welcome :) [07:30] spartan07: one of those will be the dell recovery partition (I think) [07:31] Jordan_U: Maybe I should install 10.10 ;) It's almost ready to go, right? [07:31] Hi everyone, I am really lost here. I am sitting on a friends netbook ( I don't have root privelages) and I need to disable the touchpad. I'm using Xfce and ubuntu 10.04. Thanks. [07:31] I installed Samba [07:32] Jordan_U: PS> I'm doing that upgrade right now. [07:32] gdb: thanks for your help, but im going to give up for today... [07:32] greppy, nope both the same size as the hard drive. when I format 1 it formats the other as well [07:32] gechmong7, is there a button on top of the touchpad to turn it off? [07:32] Lellow: Yeah, I'm scratching my head here, as well. Good luck tomorrow! [07:33] Guest75897: No, I don't see anything like that :( [07:33] gdb: thanks, the only way i could stop the ssh processes was to reboot the remote machine (or kill them, but this was quicker :P ) [07:33] antIP, are the dvds newer dvds? [07:33] Hah! [07:34] spartan07: No. There a few years old. [07:34] Anyone know where you edit run levels in 10.10? [07:36] spartan07: The DRM - if there is any - didn't stop them from being played under windows. Now, I'm a linux noob so I'm not sure how it works under linux, but I was under the impression that I had installed proper codecs such that DRM wouldn't stop them from playing. I assume that ubuntu can play anything that windows can play so long as the proper codecs are installed. The same is true for windows. [07:37] crap; why are all ubuntu mirrors so slow? [07:37] are there any fast mirrors lying around? [07:37] spartan07: Interestingly one of the DVDs plays fine under Mint 9.0. I haven't tested the others. [07:37] i cant put that b43 folder into Lib/firmware :( [07:38] antIP, did you run the update? [07:38] momentum: there are mirror lists on the ubuntu website, you may be able to hit one that is closer to you. [07:39] Hi folks, can someone explain to me why when I ran an rsync on that was already half-copied, it seems to be copying the existing files again? [07:39] on a directory that * [07:39] does mirrors.kernel.org no longer mirro the *.debs of ubuntu? [07:40] how can I tell ubuntu: hit mirrors.kernel.org? [07:41] * Eryn_1983_FL drools all over the floor [07:41] spartan07: Yeah, it was an upgrade actually. [07:41] ToddEDM: sudo tar -xf /path/to/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/ [07:41] AWESOME is Awesome! the WM that is.. [07:41] jamiewan: You know anything about Virtual Box? [07:41] !virtualbox | HGOUTYT [07:41] HGOUTYT: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [07:41] spartan07: Can you tell me why I'm getting 404 errors during update? Lucid main packages is returning 404. That doesn't sound good. [07:42] momentum: You can change your apt mirror in System > Administration > Software Sources [07:42] Jordan_U: i don't have gnome/kde [07:42] Jordan_U: how can I run that [07:42] antIP: Update to Maverick? [07:43] Can anyone please tell me where i change my runlevel in Maverick? [07:43] cdbs, hes runnng 10.04 [07:43] spartan07: Besides a couple of 404 errors, the upgrade and updates are done. [07:43] Lowwe: Why do you want to do that? [07:43] antIP, using command line or gui? [07:43] momentum: If you have it installed, then "gksudo software-properties-gtk". If not, you'll need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list with a text editor. [07:43] cdbs: I know what it is lol, was wondering if you know of a way to access a second partition from a Windows 7 Ultimate Virtual Machine? [07:43] cdbs: Yeah, I was thinking about installing Maverick. (not via "upgrade" though.) [07:43] cdbs: to install my Nvidia drivers [07:43] spartan07: command line. [07:44] Lowwe: From where are you installing that? [07:44] when I try to update from update manager on gui (10.10 beta netbook) I get errors. when i run from commandline everything runs fine [07:44] hmm [07:44] !maverick [07:44] 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 [07:44] cdbs: a .run file i downloaded from Nvidia.com [07:44] Please move this discussion to #ubuntu+1 === phnom_ is now known as phnom [07:44] Lowwe: hmm, just a sec [07:44] Lowwe: Are there instructions online on installing them? [07:45] Jordan_U are you sure it was tar -xf? [07:45] cdbs: Yes, but it's everyone I've seen wants me to edit /etc/inittab - that file doesn't exist in Maverick from what I see [07:45] Jordan_U: nice; thanks [07:45] antIP, is this the machine your chatting on? [07:45] momentum: You're welcome. [07:46] Lowwe: Does the driver appear in System->Administration->Hardware drivers? If so, install fromt here [07:46] *there [07:46] spartan07: Yeah, why? Do I need to do a restart? [07:47] hello [07:47] antIP: There are multiple forms of DRM, CSS is the original DRM using "encryption", and has been useless as a form of DRM for ages. This newer techneque of virtual scratches is still effective at stopping "unauthorized" programs such as mplayer/vlc but can be thwarted by standard data recovery tools like ddrescue. [07:47] Lowwe: BTW, you could create an inittab file manually with the required settings in it [07:48] I have problem with php and xml [07:48] cdbs: The "Hardware drivers" selection doesn't exist in Maverick, and I'd rather use the drivers I acquired directly from Nvidia [07:48] any one know about the irc chanal for it? [07:48] antIP: It's somewhat ironic that you need to copy the DVD to bypass the copy protection preventing you from playing it directly :) [07:48] dinuka: yes, ##php [07:48] pleace cdbs [07:48] Lowwe: who said Hardware drivers isn't there? [07:48] antIP, I would try that [07:49] tnx [07:49] dinuka: I said, its ##php [07:49] k [07:49] tnx [07:49] ##php [07:49] cdbs: that selection is not there, there is an "Additional drivers" and it's specifically for 3rd party stuff [07:49] cdbs: I think at least [07:49] I dont know how it use [07:49] Lowwe: It's not recommended to install the nvidea drivers manually, and there's nothing wrong with the drivers in the repositories. [07:49] Jordan_U, thing is antIP can run dvds in mint but not on ubuntu 10.04 and the dvds are a few years old [07:50] dinuka: just type /join ##php in the place where you usually enter these chat messages [07:50] Jordan_U: Okay, I just didn't know how up-to-date they would be, so I preferred getting them from Nvidia. [07:50] tnx again cdbs [07:51] Lowwe: They are fairly up-to-date, and using the packaged drivers means you don't have to worry about things breaking every time the kernel or Xorg are upgraded. [07:51] Jordan_U: Alright, thanks for the info [07:51] Lowwe: You're welcome. [07:51] fixed my issue. error in BIOS RAID --> Combination [07:52] Jordan_U: What I don't understand is why aptitude wants to remove several packages before installing gddrescue. All sorts of packages. Is there any other program I can use. I usually us k3b for ripping DVDs. [07:53] antIP, do you have a media pc like boxee or xbmc? [07:53] spartan07 and Jordan_U: On top of that, the DVDs themselves were copied from ISO images from the originals. SO, they've already been ripped to ISO and burned back. [07:53] spartan07: No, I do all of my media on this PC. [07:53] spartan07: well, and my laptops sometimes. [07:53] antIP: Then if you're getting IO errors there really is a problem with the disk / drive. [07:54] spartan07: I don't even have a regular dvd player. [07:54] antIP: In which case ddrescue may still help, as recovery from damaged media is it's primary purpose. [07:55] antIP, im using an old pc and rip my dvds to the pc and hold them there so my dvds dont get scratched (2 toddlers) instead of dvds I play the video files off the pc. I think maybe your dvds might be scratched or your optical drive might be dirty? [07:56] Jordan_U: You may be right, but other DVDs are playing fine. [07:56] how do I set rsync to only copy files that dont already exist in the destination? I just want to mirror the directories [07:57] antIP, right so maybe the ones you have might be scratched. have you tried them on your laptop? [07:57] spartan07: (Yeah, I do the same thing because I have a toddler.) The DVD's are in perfect condition so I know it's not due to scratches. The DVD drive plays other DVDs just fine. [07:58] spartan07: I've only tested one of them so far, and it played on my laptop (Mint 9) just fine. [08:00] Hi [08:00] b. How do I change keyboard layout on ubuntu? [08:00] How can I change keyboard layout on ubuntu? [08:00] I am using commandline [08:01] antIP, try reinstalling restricted extras ? also you havent restarted. i would try restarting. [08:01] maybe try K3B and make an iso of the movie and mount it and see if it plays? [08:02] antIP, maybe try K3B and make an iso of the movie and mount it and see if it plays? [08:02] spartan07: Yeah, I'll restart right now. I'm playing the movie on my laptop right now, but it just started and may crash within the first couple of minutes. So I'm going to wait and let you know what's going on. [08:02] antIP, ok [08:02] Jordan_U, cdbs: I installed the Nvidia drivers through the hardware pane. I need to enable a second monitor but in order to do so it needs to edit the xorg.conf (which it cannot find) I did a locate xorg.conf and it found a bunch of xorg.conf.d and only 1 xorg.conf located in an examples folder... What do I need to do here? [08:02] spartan07: I'll make an ISO after I restart. Should I try reinstalling restricted extras first before I make an ISO? [08:03] Lowwe: Might I recomend doing so through nvidia-settings? Type gksu nvidia-settings in a terminal (or Alt+F2) [08:03] yes but reinstall restricted extras after the reboot because you did just run an upgrade [08:03] antIP, yes but reinstall restricted extras after the reboot because you did just run an upgrade [08:03] Lowwe: I haven't run Ubuntu on NVIDIA machines for a while, but that was the way to do it back then. [08:04] hey, I have a simple question [08:04] how do you enable the ethernet port on an Ubuntu machine BEFORE you log in? [08:04] eth0problem: as far as I know, it should be. I can ssh to my machines fine, anyway. [08:04] lowwe i hear nvidia has better support than ati [08:04] spartan07 - Jordan_U: DVD seems to be playing fine on linux mint on my laptop. That's two dvds that play fine on my laptop. [08:04] Ihavelund: Yes that brings up the Nvidia X settings pane. But that control panel needs to know where the xorg.conf is, and cannot find it. [08:04] without having a log in ? [08:05] without having ANY accounts logged in, you are able to use SSH ? [08:05] mickster04: always have, though ATI's drivers are getting better since AMD bought them, nvidia still has the lead [08:05] eth0problem: Set the connection as as "available to all users" in System > Preferences > Network Connections. [08:05] Lowwe: Are you running it prefixed by sudo? [08:05] haha [08:05] really ? [08:05] that's what that means [08:05] I always not available to all users gave any user the ability to turn it on/off. [08:06] I think you accidentally a word or two there, eth0problem. [08:06] Ihavelund: No it's in system -> Administration -> Nvidia X Server Settings [08:06] eth0problem: It gives any user the ability to use the connection, which is particularly important with connections that require a password. [08:06] Lowwe: Right; try running it from a terminal with "sudo nvidia-settings" [08:06] like the new unity UI for netbook MM [08:07] eth0problem: And it makes sense that a connection specific to one user would only be connected when that user logs in. [08:07] I always THOUGHT "available to all users" gave any user the ability to turn on/off the ethernet interface, not simply turn it on all the time. [08:07] spartan07: Ok. I'm rebooting. [08:07] sorry, busy finding the network interface. [08:07] antIP, k [08:07] eth0problem: no, available means just that, available. [08:07] well, that will probably fix it [08:07] Ihavelund: Ok, I did. Same problem, "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" [08:08] I am so disliking Synaptic right now. [08:08] well, it's not as if 2 people log in, that only ONE user has access to it. [08:08] eth0problem: The "connect automatically" is what makes it "on all the time". [08:08] it should not be "available to all users" but rather "always active" [08:08] Ihavelund: http://pastebin.com/JCXwkhKe [08:08] both connect automatically and available to all users is checked [08:08] kind of hard to see if this fixes the problem, being logged in, and all. [08:09] well, anyhow. [08:09] Lowwe: Right. Let's try the next thing that might or might not work. System → Preferences → Screen Reotluion (I *believe* that's what it's called) [08:09] I'll be back tomorrow if it doesn't work [08:09] thank you for the help. [08:09] eth0problem: Having the connection enabled before login is more of a side effect than the primary purpose. [08:09] Lowwe: It should allow you to add another monitor from there. [08:09] Ihavelund: I do not see that selection [08:09] I'm trying to install some packages when, from out of the blue, an error stating "Please insert the disk labeled 'so and so OS'" when it's already on my USB drive. [08:09] Same OS I have. [08:09] then what is the primary purpose ? [08:09] Anyone have a Zotac ZBOX (Ion) ? [08:09] Lowwe: It may be called Monitors or similar; It's an entry about resolution and monitors. Brb. [08:09] I burned a CD for it. It still fails. [08:10] What gives? [08:10] Q: If i get terminal beep, does that mean i have an internal speaker ? [08:10] I think so, yes/. [08:10] tiox: Not neccisarily, no. [08:10] well, I see you are probably busy Jordan_U. [08:11] that would be a nice addition to Ubuntu though, documentation explaining every checkbox... [08:11] bye [08:11] thanks. [08:11] Anyway, the disk it's looking for is Lucid Lynx AMD64 20100816.1 [08:11] Is the OS I have not that? [08:11] Is running it from USB the issue? [08:12] tiox: The easiest way to check for an internal speaker is to "sudo modprobe pcspkr" "sudo apt-get install beep" then mute all audio and run "beep". If you hear the beep you have an internal speaker. [08:12] ##arm [08:12] hi, can somebody clue me in on how i can write a shell script to implode a text file into one line with a delimitere? [08:12] Also, thanks for that tip that is completely unrelated to my problem. :P [08:13] tiox: Sorry, wrong nick. [08:13] hello all!! i am having problem with the sound. it stops after sometime. only comes back when i restart the laptop. any solution? its not working right now [08:14] dfghj [08:14] ubuntu-bug says "pulseaudio seems to have crashed" [08:14] nobody? :\ [08:15] :| [08:15] 这是 [08:15] !cn | zhangdechen [08:15] zhangdechen: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:15] WTFBoom: http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/251/screenshot2tz.png [08:16] spartan07: I'm trying to play a DVD now. It seems to play ok so far, but I can't get to the menu in gnome mplayer. There doesn't seem to be an option to skip the menu like in VLC. [08:16] Please help me. /_\ [08:17] Please help me too. /_\ [08:17] hi [08:17] anyone it's here? [08:18] antIP, I use vlc to play video never really had an issue unless running alphas and betas [08:18] spartan07: Hmmm...It seems to be playing fine so far though. 1:30 seconds into the movie. [08:19] tiox: Just remove the disk from System > Administration > Software Sources. [08:19] Well, maybe those upgrades and updates helped. It's not crashing. [08:19] whats up? [08:19] spartan07: Maybe those upgrades/updates helped. [08:20] Huh? [08:20] I don't see "Software sources" [08:20] antIP, maybe [08:20] oicnao [08:20] antIP, give it a go and see if anything comes up [08:21] antIP, your pc have nvidia card? [08:21] aaron____: you could ask in #bash if noone here knows [08:23] spartan07 - Jordan_U: thanks for your help on this. (I ATI graphics. I don't use ATI drivers because they actually make all video and compiz effects tear.) [08:23] aaron____: sed 's/$/delimiter/g' [08:23] antIP, there is a fix for that [08:23] antIP: You're welcome. [08:24] antIP, i have nvidia drivers and I get tears as well. google fix tears on compiz. you need to bring up your refresh rate [08:24] Jordan_U how can i make it so i can copy paste to all my folders? [08:24] spartan07: Really? Tearing is caused by refresh rates and I've tried changing the options regarding refresh rates in compiz without any success. [08:24] antIP: Radeon doesn't have the problem, it's the drivers. If you use the open source radeon drivers with kms, you should have far less tearing than the proprietary fglrx driver [08:24] Thanks for that Jordan_U. [08:24] ToddEDM: What do you mean? [08:25] tiox: You're welcome. [08:25] Hi all, [08:25] antIP, I hated getting the tears. I fixed it because it was driving me insane [08:25] Now Synaptic's no longer being all WTF-y on me. [08:26] i am in a a trouble, i am using ubuntu 10.04 and i am able to hear the login sound but none of the media is giving me the sound [08:26] i wanna extract the put that b43 folder in /lib/firmware... the tar command you told me about wouldnt work [08:26] soreau: I'm just using whatever drivers are default in Ubuntu and I don't get any tearing. I've used 2 different ATI cards and tried installing ATI drivers and didn't have any success. So you're saying use the open source driver with KMS? What's KMS? Are the open source drivers the one's that Ubuntu uses by default? [08:26] Hello how can I fix ruby gem it will not intall rdocs? [08:27] using ubuntu 10.04 [08:27] im getting frustrated, why cant ubuntu just come with these drivers :( [08:27] antIP, yours might be do to vsync http://thelinuxexperiment.com/guinea-pigs/tyler-b/fix-ati-vsync-video-tearing-issue-once-and-for-all/ [08:27] spartan07: Yeah, I can't handle tearing. To be honest it was the primary reason I didn't switch to Linux last year. :( I really wanted to, but I watch video A LOT on my computer, and I can't have ANY tearing at all. I don't have any tearing with ubuntu's default drivers now, but last year, I did. Go figure. That was Ubuntu 9.04 or something. [08:28] antIP, you play video alot? have you tried boxee or xbmc? [08:29] hello all!! i am having problem with the sound. it stops after sometime. only comes back when i restart the laptop. any solution? its not working right now [08:29] spartan07: I tried changing the NSYNC setting in compiz and that didn't help. I tried disableing compiz and that didn't help. I tried a lot of different things. I bought a new graphics card a few months ago, and Lucid runs video great out of the box. Don't ask me why it worked this time. But I'm loving it. I ditched windows completely. [08:30] spartan07: I installed boxee in windows. Didn't like it for some reason. I don't remember why. [08:30] antIP, well if its not broken dont fix it LOL [08:30] "eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found" -- what can I do about that? [08:30] hello [08:30] antip: Linux does that sometimes. [08:30] I am looking for an answer to a technical question [08:31] But I am glad you are loving Ubuntu. [08:31] spartan07: thanks for that link btw. [08:31] I am considering buying a new laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled because at least that way everything works. [08:31] tiox: I've noticed. It's a bit scary. [08:31] * tiox nods [08:31] Yeah, it does get scary. [08:31] antIP, no problem. cool we got the video fixed [08:31] But that's what you get with a free OS. Can't bitch about a little bit of fear. [08:32] antIP, thats why I love ubuntu there are alot of people to help you out [08:32] I want to try out Ubuntu on my laptop but it doesn't seem to load from the CD I made; how long should I wait before I assume my computer is incompatible [08:32] made a silly mistake, deleted some files that i got via synaptic, now when i try to get them again, synaptic still thinks i'm up to date. any way to force synaptic to check all the local files it SHOULD have, and download/reinstall ones it's missing? [08:32] Meg, have you checked the cd for errors? [08:32] Meg, can you access your system BIOS? [08:33] spartan07: Yeah, that's why I like it too. IT really separates itself from other distros by it's community. [08:33] Meg, depends on your specs [08:33] yes I did [08:33] Meg: your notebook is definitely not incompatible... are you booting from cd? [08:33] it does boot the cd and I see the menu where you can check "try ubuntu without installing" [08:33] Meg: and when you hit it it gives a bunch of errors and hangs, right? [08:33] Meg: toshiba laptop? [08:33] Meg, if you are still having problems with CD, try to burn another one with different settings. [08:34] I used Infra Recorder, never touched a single setting and it burns CDs perfect every time. [08:34] Meg, try ubuntu without installing :) [08:34] theos, that's what she is trying to do. [08:34] SporkWitch: you can try sudo dpkg-reconfigure appname if you know the app the files come from [08:34] spartan07: I might try the instructions in that article you linked to. BUT, I'm not sure what to do if I want to revert back and restor the back up of xorg.conf. [08:34] no there is the sound of the CD drive working rapidly and then black screen forever once it goes quiet [08:34] Meg, try this. [08:34] In your Biosw, change your controller type, if you can. [08:34] moetunes: not sure of all, want to do an unqualified check and repair, pretty much [08:34] k [08:35] On this computer, to run things from CD I had to switch from AHCI (or is it ACHI?) to IDE. [08:35] and yes it is a toshiba laptop but I am not seeing any error come up [08:35] ok [08:35] Meg: try hitting f6 while hilighting "try without installing" and check all options except "free software only" [08:35] ok [08:35] Lots of advice. [08:35] Meg: i have to do this on my toshiba laptop, has to do with some idiotic things toshiba did with the BIOS [08:35] IF ALL ELSE FAILS... [08:35] antIP, make a backup of your xorg file. It does not work login through terminal and delte the new xorg and rename the backup and reboot [08:35] Meg, how much is the ram? [08:35] 1.2 GB [08:36] oh [08:36] added 1 GB to its original 256 [08:36] If the CD thing does not work out, grab the Universal USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com, back up your USB drive content (if any) and let 'er rip after specifying the drive location and ISO location.' [08:36] spartan07: Yeah, all I have to do is learn how to delete files, and rename files in the terminal. ;) [08:36] Meg, and the 1.2GB is working right? its in use? [08:36] Rather, root drive, lol [08:36] yes [08:36] delete is rm and rename is mv = move into the same directory [08:37] Meg, and the processor speed? [08:37] I used to play world of warcraft on this, but not anymore since before burning crusade i think [08:37] I don't thi nk any of this matters. [08:37] antIP, http://ss64.com/bash/ [08:37] lemme check [08:37] moetunes: didn't see if you had responded, and this client sucks (keeps resetting my view to the newest message when someone sends as i'm trying to check back in the log lol) [08:37] gives you instructions on terminal commands [08:37] SporkWitch: I typed a k :] [08:37] What do you install for the burning window effects? I saw something about it earlier didn't get to jot it down though [08:38] !ccsm | Lowwe [08:38] Lowwe: 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 [08:38] tiox: it doesn't. it might run like crap (livecd, not once installed), but it'll run with 1.2GB. the ubuntu livecd is only like 700MB, isn't it? [08:38] Lowwe, install fusion-icon [08:38] spartan07: I guess rm is used instead of delete? [08:38] Thx guys [08:38] yeah remove [08:38] hardware does matter for ubuntu [08:38] Yeah. [08:38] Intel Celeron 1500 MHz [08:39] I'm logged in remotely on my ubuntu server via ssh. Can I have multiple command prompts open in one session? [08:39] It's made for a disk, but I prefer USB because it's almost failproof. [08:39] !screen | furryotter [08:39] furryotter: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [08:39] furryotter, Screen [08:39] spartan07: Thanks again!! [08:39] antIP, no prob [08:39] Meg, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [08:39] furryotter: that is what the app screen was built for === Liammm|AFK is now known as Liammm [08:39] theos: her system is more than sufficient to get the livecd to boot. you're troubleshooting in the wrong direcion. if we saw poor performance, then yes, specs might be at fault, but since we're seeing NO performance, we need to figure out where the conflict is and how to bypass it / fix it [08:40] SporkWitch, i was just confirming he/she has min requirements to begin with. then we can move on [08:40] theos: fair enough, i thought you were trying to troubleshoot her issue [08:41] ty both [08:41] Meg is most likely a girl,. [08:41] doesnt matter tiox [08:41] :P [08:41] Much like your min spec check. [08:41] theos: maybe you know, any way to make synaptic look through the files for all installed packages and restore ones that are missing? lol. accidentally deleted some files and now apt-get tells me the thing's already installed, when it's not [08:42] Hmmm. [08:42] SporkWitch, try uninstalling, then reinstalling. [08:42] An uninstall doesn't remove config files. [08:42] yes I'm a girl lol [08:42] SporkWitch: sounds like database corruption [08:42] Except for a COMPLETE uninstall. [08:42] SporkWitch: aptitude reinstall package_name [08:43] A girl? Wanting to try Linux? OMFG!! [/sarcasm] [08:43] tiox: enough. [08:43] tiox: if i knew the specific packages, sure, i want to make sure that i won't have one randomly bite me later on because i missed one [08:43] (Sorry, had to play the stereotypical antisocial nerd) [08:43] lol my big brother told me it was nice [08:43] tiox: http://xkcd.com/322/ [08:43] gdb: any form of that command to reinstall all installed packages? [08:43] tiox: please try to keep it ontopic [08:43] * tiox nods [08:44] ok, so is my processor not enough for it? [08:44] Well aside from the hard drive controller type (which is VERY important for me to have configured correctly), I con't know what else you can do. [08:44] can't* [08:44] ok, could try it [08:44] Meg: Your processor is more than good enough. [08:45] SporkWitch: er, well, for package in $(dpkg --get-selection | awk '{print $1}') ; aptitude reinstall $package ; done [08:45] SporkWitch: Seems a bit of a waste, though, and you'll want to do that as root. [08:45] SporkWitch: real easy way to make sure: for i in `dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}'`; do j=`echo $i`; aptitude reinstall "$j"; done [08:45] too bad I'm not sitting next to my desktop computer lol, I'll have to come back if it doesn't work [08:45] selections* [08:45] Just look through your BIOS. And again, if CD fails, go to pendrivelinux, grab the USB installer and run that to make a bootable USB drive. [08:45] ok [08:45] pendrivelinux.com* [08:45] !usb [08:45] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [08:45] alright, that gives me 2 things to try thanks [08:46] tiox: The Toshibas I know can not start from USB [08:46] Oh snap. [08:46] oh yeah, Gnea's command is better [08:46] Does Toshiba do this to restrict the end user? Because that's BS. [08:46] actually, it's accurate, mine will have.. unintended side-effects [08:46] Makes me wanna try it on my mother's laptop right now. [08:47] tiox: Don't know why they do it, but the BIOS is rather restricted - at least on the Toshibas I have encountered [08:47] tiox: please try, yes [08:47] tiox: it's a trend of toshibas, unfortunately. there's always virtualbox. [08:48] virtualbox > * [08:48] especially if it's on a zippy machine [08:48] Well, my mother has a rather modern Toshiba. [08:48] So it MIGHT work. [08:48] tiox: what are you trying to do, exactly? [08:48] it might, yes. but a 1.6 GHz might not yet [08:49] oh [08:49] tiox: if it doesn't, you could always use the cd drive to boot from usb [08:50] Yeah. [08:50] Boot manager lets me boot from USB. [08:50] I just pressed F12 on the Toshiba splash. [08:52] BIOS changed to boot from CD, works. [08:52] Option to boot from USB? [08:52] Yeah. [08:52] My mother's PC uses the same BIOS as my ACER. [08:53] Ah, cool. So Toshiba finally caught up [08:53] Except I got a little WTF on CD boot. [08:53] What is all this stuff showing hex codes? [08:54] wouldn't worry about it [08:54] hex codes... isn't that what witches speak to curse others? [08:54] hello all . i have a small problem - i changed mount settings for my usb drive, and now i cant mount it because of wrong parameter - and i cant find a file where settings is stored. can anyone tell me where it is? [08:55] /etc/fstab [08:55] zruty: no, it is not this file [08:55] /etc/mtab ? [08:55] zruty: Is it an accident that your nickname is the name of a monster in nethack? [08:55] Hmmm. [08:55] Seems CD died on me. [08:56] ? [08:56] Submarine: No, it is not an accident at all.. only I first encountered it when it was still just hack [08:56] Because like I said, CD crashed, dumped an error report etc. [08:56] zruty: i will take a look on the file [08:57] Meg, still here?

[08:58] glithcd: aks a real question [08:59] !ask | glithcd [08:59] glithcd: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:59] ok [08:59] its all of a sudden just not working [08:59] Wireless should be no problem. [08:59] Huh. [08:59] * tiox shrugs and keeps quiet [08:59] in not in the network manager [08:59] i cant find it anywhere [08:59] what's not working [08:59] glithcd: so wireless worked before and now it tried to connect to the define network without success? [08:59] zruty: it doesnt seem to be that file - i have two identical usb drives - one that is properly mounted is in /etc/mtab, but that second one, for which i changed settings via properties -> volume isnt there :( [09:00] are you sure that your wifi network isn't down? [09:00] kindof [09:00] and you didn't disable the wifi on your machine? [09:00] it was there and connected [09:00] and then i restarted and now its just not there [09:00] tensorpudding, i WAS GONNA ASK STUFF LIKE THAT. [09:00] even when i right click its not there [09:00] glithcd: i had similar issues on a netbook - shortly disabling the wireless device via keyboard usualy solved that on 10.04 [09:01] iF THROUGH A ROUTER, AND IF THE CONNBECTION DIES, AND IF IT NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE, TRY UNPLUGGING THE ROUTER FOR TEN SECONDS. [09:01] And caps fail. [09:02] i tried the wireless hotkey on my keyboard [09:02] try disabling then enabling wifi by right-clicking the network manager icon [09:02] but like i said, the wireless options not even there in the network manager at the top [09:02] the option is not there when i right click [09:02] MCCloak: Properties - volume...? I never used that... [09:03] glithcd: is networking enabled? [09:03] Hmmm. [09:03] the option is not there for me to enable it. [09:03] Well once again, try disconnect and reconnecting the router. [09:03] ubuntu might see it. [09:03] zruty: ok, but thanks [09:03] MCCloak: When you plug that USB in, does it show up with lsusb in a terminal window? [09:04] anyone else to help please? i changed mount setting in Properties - Volume for my usb drive and now i cant mount it because i put wrong parameter here - where is settings stored so i can change it?

[09:14] elisa87, don't ask to ask, just ask. [09:14] That should not be. [09:14] elisa87: that's a bit non-specific [09:14] noisewaterphd, this is what it says when i try to enable the driver again [09:14] elisa87, also keep in mind it is currently 3 am CST and most of the USA is asleep, please be patient [09:14] It's a panel.

Please look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log [09:15] noisewaterphd, and thats what i posted [09:15] Gnea, i'm not going to get in a debate about it [09:16] is cloud computing sort of desktop virtualization? [09:16] glithcd: ya but pastie gives you format choices, and it looks like you picked a bad one [09:16] elisa87: you're better off searching google for cloud computer [09:16] noisewaterphd, ok then ill try again [09:16] computing* [09:17] Do you have any idea how can add Accounting to Citrix Server? [09:18] elisa87: ya go read up elsewhere, come here with specific questions. but no, I do not feel that is a good description, it's more of a thin client type of situation, but I guess it could be called that [09:18] do you know any channel about aaa server?

It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [09:19] elisa87: please read that ^^^ [09:19] shit now paste bin is saying the text is too much to paste on there [09:19] elisa87: wow, you are on the wrong channel. do you have an Ubuntu question or not?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [10:00] I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a old dell dimension 4300 desktop and am having problems with the sound... [10:01] ElCerebr0: :'( [10:01] it is very choppy and does not like to play mp3s [10:01] ElCerebr0: do you have problems with .ogg files? [10:02] ElCerebr0: I'm unsure about the 'choppy' issue, but mp3s are not an issue as long as the players are fully installed. [10:03] I'm guessing its an issue with the integrated sound card [10:03] maybe not getting enough power? [10:04] ElCerebr0: I used to have problems with sound on Linux, but it was years ago. [10:05] how can i fix a pci root address collision? [10:05] how is msg someone rude? [10:06] i mean, can somebody help me fix a pci root address collision [10:07] ElCerebr0: it is bad IRC etiquette to PMsomeone without asking [10:07] im having a sound card and graphics card pci root address collision [10:07] and dont know waht to do [10:08] I'm having sound issues in 10.04 as well. As far as I can see, it's all working, except for no sound output. Lenovo laptop w/ "Intel HDA" audio. Thing is, it works fine in Lucid Puppy (a distro based on Lucid). I've looked everywhere I can think of, and it appears to be all detected and set up right, but no sound gets to the pulseaudio mixer, no matter what I try... Ideas? [10:08] anybody know how to enable colourcoding of perl script in netbeans? :D [10:09] Samantha-444: I suppose you tried alsamixer and all levels? [10:09] i used to have an idea of how to fix your problem with the sound output [10:09] Submarine: Yes, alsa mixer shows all levels max and unmuted [10:09] you have to edit grub or something [10:10] I had a similar problem on an older laptop, and the solution was to change some module parameters for ac97 or so. [10:10] samantha, are you running any other operating systems on the laptop [10:10] does anyone know how to remove the assistance icon from the top panel? [10:11] glithcd, right click the panel? [10:11] Vukode: at the moment, no. But I can boot Lucid Puppy at a moment's notice from USB. It uses all the same binaries from Lucid, and it works perfectly. So if you have an idea what to look at there to tell me what to change here.... [10:11] hi [10:11] Vukode, nope. [10:12] samantha, then i have no idea. sorry, im pretty new to ubuntu [10:12] glithcd, right click the assistance icon [10:12] what kind of partition can be read by linux and mac both? [10:13] Vukode, that does nothing either. [10:13] Samantha-444: By chance, does sound work if you do a hot reboot (no poweroff, just "restart") from Windows? [10:13] cixa: UFS, ZFS, FAT [10:13] statistic software in linux [10:13] noisewaterphd: what do you recommend?\ [10:13] cixa: and others [10:13] om: R, CRAN [10:13] cixa: for a thumb drive or something? [10:14] Submarine: there is no windows on the machine. Only Lucid, atm. And LucidPuppy on a usb key if I need it. [10:14] glithcd, are you talking about the icon that is blue and looks like a question mark? [10:14] Samantha-444: do you know the PCI ID of the sound device? [10:14] yes [10:14] (look in lspci( [10:14] Submarine: no, but I can get it quick enough. just a sec [10:14] noisewaterphd: for my external ahrddriev that i keep movies and music on. i frequently need to attach it to a linux machine and a macintosh sometimes [10:15] harddrive i mean\ [10:15] Vukode, it looks more like a lil person with their arms n legs stretched out...but to each their own [10:15] glithcd, right click it and there should be an option that says remove from panel [10:15] Does HFS still exist? [10:15] cixa: uhhh, ya I'd go FAT, full suport from all major OS's [10:15] HFS ?

[10:16] OS X still uses HFS+ which is just journaled HFS [10:17] noisewaterphd: fat16 or fat32?

[11:34] mobal: until 10.10 releases, support for it is limited to #ubuntu+1 [11:34] zPimR: I just don't like OS X enough to fight with it on non-apple hardware. I'd rather run Ubuntu, so I am :D === owen is now known as Leman_Russ [11:34] mobal: rfkill block bluetooth [11:34] Sterist: No, this is something I just thought of :) [11:34] tntc: Well I like the game of figuring it out :P [11:35] took me 3 days [11:35] but flawless install now, with mac updates and all that. [11:35] Yeah, the more you use Linux, as a computing lover, the more you will fall for it [11:35] zPimR: I played that game back in my gentoo days. I find that when I have to play that game, I get frustrated when things beyond my control break. [11:35] mobal: to make this persistent, add it to /etc/rc.local [11:35] jordan_u i see you referring to "this" but i don't see what "this" is lol [11:35] ilovefairuz: thanks [11:35] hmhm, thats when you take a beer, and idle in a IRC channel for help [11:36] anyone active on #ubuntu-devel channel? [11:36] Sterist: Still typing out the instructions :) [11:36] jordan_u understood [11:36] Submarine: I got it going (the sound), though I still have no idea what was wrong. I didn't actually change anything. Thanks for trying to help. [11:36] Sterist: Super GRUB2 Disk has an option for automatically detecting and booting loop bootable isos (not all distributions are supported, see http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SuperGRUB2Disk#Detect_loop_bootable_isos_.28in_.2Fboot-isos_or_.2Fboot.2Fboot-isos.2F.29 ) and the scripts that do this will work with iso files that are on the Super GRUB2 Disk CD itself. So what you need to do is first download SG2D: http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_di [11:36] greetings, webpage to pdf script ideia ? [11:36] Apparently Ubuntu-help is invite only... Why is that? [11:36] i have problems with nvidia x server settings only being able to run maximum 680x480 res. here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/TxYU0bdx [11:37] Leman_Russ: because it's not a channel [11:37] OH [11:37] Haha, sorry [11:37] So, is this the place to ask for help and stuff? [11:37] it is [11:37] Sterist: Then use a program called isomaster (sudo apt-get install isomaster) to add a new directory to the SG2D iso named "boot-isos" (the name is important, as that's the directory the script looks for) and then add the isos you want to that directory. [11:37] zPimR: I also like that on ubuntu I can submit bugs easily and then either 1) fix them or 2) help get them fixed. Dell Studio 1557 users on Ubuntu, Gentoo, and maybe a few other distros have support in the kernels >= 2.6.34 because of some code I found on a mailing list and the hard work of the community. Meanwhile, in OS X, I can't get my GPS to work. [11:37] Shivverrrr, Monitor: CRT... [11:37] Leman_Russ: This is the "Official Ubuntu Support Channel" [11:38] zPimR: and I'm just /boned/. [11:38] tntc: true that, its as closed as a clam hit by a kid playing [11:38] jordan_u so technically it's still one partition? [11:38] Sterist: Yes. [11:38] zPimR: well, parts of it are. The bits I care about certainly are. [11:39] jordan_u and the ISOs arent extracted when burned? [11:39] Sterist: Correct. [11:39] I would like to get into the Aqua layer and get my AMBX system working. [11:39] but meh [11:39] on a side note, does anyone know of a good way to extract DMGs to .cdr or .iso on ubuntu? [11:39] jordan_u interesting, i'll definitely give it a shot :) [11:39] Folks, is there a way to prevent ubuntu from asking password when changing network settings? [11:39] zPimR: AMBX? [11:39] Sterist: Tell me if it works :) [11:39] yeah, ambilight speaker things from philips [11:39] system policy prevents modification of system settings and asks for password, can I avoid that? [11:40] jordan_u i don't think i'll get to it tonight =/ if i see you in here in a day or two i'll let you know [11:40] anybody? [11:41] zPimR: fancy! I bet you can get it working with some hacking and python :D [11:41] tntc: Boblight, a linux package, works, but it can't be compiled on OSX, also since it works on X11, which isnt in use any more in 10.6.x [11:41] StaRetji: This is a bad idea, but you can modify your /etc/sudoers file to make sudo and gksudo no longer ask for passwords... That might get you around the network settings as well. [11:41] zPimR: 10.6.x still has X11... [11:41] tntc: should write a VLC plugin prob, is the fastes [11:41] tntc: yeah but doesnt use it for most rendering stuff [11:41] Samantha-444: it's already done, sudo doesn't ask for password [11:41] Samantha-444: this is something different [11:42] lunch break [11:42] zPimR: yeah, I haven't really liked VLC since I realized it didn't support my keyboard FF/WW/Pause/Play keys and stuff. Totem ftw. === zPimR is now known as zPimR-Lunch [11:42] Samantha-444: if I'm not mistaken [11:42] StaRetji: Well, then I don't have another idea, you already did the only thing that came to my mind [11:42] Man, Empathy is actually a pretty decent IRC client. [11:42] hi [11:42] HAAAAAAAANS! [11:42] Samantha-444: ok, thx [11:42] LOL [11:42] nice [11:42] tntc: I use my Xbox controller with some mapping for that, its awesome [11:42] I am going to count to three there will not be a four [11:43] jordan_u would SG2D overwrite the installed bootloader? [11:43] HansGruber: Hehe. It's good that you have a sense of humor about your /nick. I know people that flip out over stuff like that [11:43] why do you mean, I made it to be fun [11:44] zPimR-Lunch: yeah, but I'm lazy, and have multimedia keys that work in totem, so why mess with VLC? :) [11:45] HansGruber: I've seen folks with movie-related nicks, like say "Kahn" from star trek. Even though they made it specifically because of that, they'll get all irked and be like "Yes! I know my nick is from a movie, stop yelling 'KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!' every time I join!" === zorglube is now known as silvere [11:46] Sterist: The bootloader on the individual distribution isos would not be used if that's what you're asking. [11:46] Hey, I had 96GB disappear overnight (that was all the remaining space I had). Recently the same happened, but I was able to find the case - it was in ~/.xsession-errors.log. However, I see now that the file is not there. My suspect is Eye of Gnome that was running all night. How can I find what ate up those 96GB? [11:46] Zoffix: look for files with a modification time since last night, I'd say [11:46] Zoffix: Accessories > Disk usage Analizer [11:46] Oh, good idea! [11:46] Zoffix: I think the search function can do that, and then you can sort by size and stuff === unix is now known as Guest81697 [11:46] Zoffix: You can use df -h to check partition sizes, and du -h to check folder sizes [11:46] Zoffix: baobab [11:46] Zoffix: Jordan_U had a better idea than me! [11:46] jordan_u ooh so SG2D (the bootloader) is actually burned onto the disk which is what the disk first loads [11:47] hello, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction setting up a second mysqld instance on ubuntu 10.04 server, I've completed all the configuration I can think of, but it seems to hang for a few seconds on startup, then fails to bind to the port [11:47] jordan_u which then points to the ISOs [11:47] I think it's related to it running under the wrong user, however, I've changed it in all the places I can think of [11:47] Sterist: Yes. [11:47] what we need is some good scotch [11:47] that being /etc/mysql-new/my.cnf and /etc/mysql-new/debian-start [11:47] it still runs under mysql instead of mysql-new though, any ideas? [11:49] testing 132 [11:49] strange [11:49] Sterist: yeah we here ya [11:49] *hear [11:49] jordan_u that's pretty simple in concept. well, the download you provided is 404 but i found a wiki on SG2D so maybe that'll have something for me [11:50] Sterist: The link works for me. [11:50] jordan_u nevermind i didn't find the wiki, i opened it earlier from the instructions and forgot -_-zZ [11:51] Sterist: My message with the URL may have been cut off because it was too long, here's the download URL again: http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso === jonas__ is now known as azjo [11:52] jordan_u yeah it was cut short [11:52] i have now changed back to the proprietary graphics driver. max res is now 1024x768. how do i force it to 1600x1200? === denny- is now known as denny [11:52] btw, if I start it manually, it works fine (with mysqld-new --defaults-file [11:52] does nfs not support ext4? i'm having problems exporting ext4 partitions. but ext3 seem to work [11:52] so I assume it's something upstart related [11:53] jordan_u am i supposed to rebuild the ISO with the two liveCD iso's in it? [11:54] Sterist: Yes, in a directory named "boot-isos". [11:54] is setting resolution really this little explored? :/ [11:55] azjo: well does display in the system menu on gnome panel allow you to change it? [11:55] jordan_u aah, i didnt think that was part of the process but won't be hard. [11:55] aeon-ltd: nope [11:55] Sterist: That's why you'll need isomaster [11:55] azjo: are you on the pc now to talk to us on irc? [11:55] aeon-ltd: yes [11:56] azjo: well, this might be difficult but you can set the framebuffer resolution as a grub boot option. but theres no way to test besides a reboot [11:57] what is framebuffer resolution? [11:57] jordan_u i'm pretty sure that program gave me trouble earlier. we'll see [11:57] azjo: the resolution of the framebuffer(pre xorg) as in the verbose resolution, hopefully xorg should adopt that resolution === zPimR-Lunch is now known as zPimR [11:58] so how do i do this? [11:59] azjo: what resolution do you need? [11:59] i would prefer 1600x1200. [11:59] azjo: at the end of your kernel boot line add (after a space) vga=884 [12:00] !resolution | azjo [12:00] azjo: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [12:00] anyone know why copying files in ubuntu eats up CPU time? === dankh is now known as Guest70358 [12:00] azjo: you may want to try that instead of the framebuffer solution, as this will not require a reboot [12:00] how do i access my kernel boot line? [12:00] Well, Disk Usage Analyzer didn't shed any light. However, while searching for files, I found things like "/proc/2047/task/2047/fd" that supposedly occupy 91GB but it shows up with a notice "link broken". I think if I reboot, I'll get my space back. What are those? Some process left broken links behind and now my system thinks those 91GB are still occupied? [12:01] azjo: at grub press e on the kernel you wish to boot and it should give you a option to edit. however please read the wiki link about resolution before trying the framebuffer solution [12:01] anyone know why copying files in ubuntu eats up CPU time? [12:02] azjo: if you want to try the framebuffer solution please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [12:02] Sterist, it's the waiting and of course CPU time is non-zero. [12:02] join [12:02] closed [12:02] Sterist, and you are probably talking about NTFS copies? [12:03] excess flood [12:03] fasta i guess, whenever i copy its usually to NTFS from ext4 [12:03] im fairly new.. i tried to vi xorg.conf but it is empty? [12:04] fasta it takes about 80-90% of my CPU's capacity just copying lol [12:04] if its not vi then what is it? [12:04] azjo: the new xorg is empty by default, and Xorg autodetects your stuff [12:04] aha [12:04] azjo: did you type /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [12:04] the new xorg.conf I mean. [12:04] aeon-ltd: yes i did [12:04] hi guys ... i have a problem with my usb key [12:04] Sterist, then you probably have a slow CPU, but the real problem are the ntfs drivers, which indeed are terribly slow. [12:04] I cant format it ... [12:04] It says read-only file system [12:05] I`ve tryed gpardted, disk util ... [12:05] Sterist, send some money to the people trying to fix that or learn to code if you want to see it improved. [12:05] but cant delete any file from it [12:05] fasta dual core 2.2gHz each... not slow but not top-line [12:05] Sterist, 80% is excessive, though. [12:05] i will try the "try this first" option and add that in with my resolution. [12:05] hi anyone know tool for finding certain words in text? [12:05] Sterist, if you can reproduce it, you might file a bug report. [12:05] SpiderFred, grep? [12:05] !enter | alin_ [12:05] alin_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:06] Zoffix, thx I ll try [12:06] Sterist, I would say that behaviour is definitely not intended behaviour. In my case it is usually around 20% or so. [12:06] fasta it happens every time lol... and when i used to run ubuntu on my Playstation 3 (which runs much slower) it would peak at 100% and take 30mins for a 5mb file [12:06] anyway ... can some1 help me with this ? [12:06] fasta what's your CPU speed and arch type [12:07] Sterist: I think it's the FUSE stuff. [12:07] tntx what [12:07] Sterist, x86_64 and a slightly slower CPU. [12:07] tntc what's FUSE? [12:07] alin_: press alt-f2, type 'gksudo nautilus' then try to reformat it [12:07] alin_: you need to mount it in a way so you have write permissions; if you use it often, add a line in /etc/fstab, else try pmount [12:08] hello all, I have a problem, my cpu's temperature was high when i used vbox, someone can help me ? [12:08] Sterist: It's the way Ubuntu handles NTFS. FUSE is the layer between the NTFS filesystem and Linux. It's a middleman, so to speak. [12:09] Sterist: I'm a little fuzzy on the details though. [12:09] tntc i've never installed ubuntu onto NTFS... always ext4 [12:09] :wq refuses to do anything for me. what am i doing wrong? [12:09] tntc just copied stuff to NTFS [12:09] Is it possible to make a symbolic link to a directory ? Like I got the directory /mnt/stuff/bla/bla2 and want to link it to /home/myUser/link ? [12:10] fuse is a way to writte filesystems in userspace as opposed to having to writte a kernel driver for them. it is easier [12:10] azjo: you need sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:10] Votan: yes [12:10] I've downloaded eclipse and when I run ./eclipse it works, just running "eclipse" gives me an error about locating a shared library. what's the difference between these two? the file is marked as executable [12:10] azjo: anything not in your /home will require sudo to write [12:10] Sterist: no no, I mean when you're transferring files between a local NTFS file system and a local EXT4 filesystem. [12:10] tntc oh okay [12:10] erUSUL, how ? Also with ln ? [12:10] omar_: where is ./eclipse located? [12:10] with every version of ubuntu I get tempted to switch from OSX [12:10] Votan: yes [12:10] Sterist: Or reading or writing to NTFS in any way (locally) [12:10] erUSUL, in my /home/eclipse directory [12:10] timmillwood: I'm installing on my MBP right now. [12:11] * greppy is on a macbook running 10.04 atm :) [12:11] tntc: I already have it on my MBP, I have triple boot [12:11] timmillwood: I was sitting there messing with Steam and Eve on OS X when I realized that they were actually running /worse/ than on Ubuntu in Crossover :p [12:11] omar_: you have to add that dir to your PATH or make a link to the executable in /usr/local/bin/ or in ~/bin/ ( create it ) [12:11] i have written sudo.. [12:11] erUSUL, actually I added a /home/bin and made a hard link to the file so I guess running "eclipse" was executing it in my bin [12:11] tntc do you know if there are any alternatives to FUSE? :) [12:11] omar_: why you did not used the ewpositorie version of clipse? [12:11] tntc: I use Win7 for steam [12:11] Sterist, yes, you can pay the company that maintains the driver. [12:12] Well, just wanted to say that, as I suspected, rebooting did get me my missing space back. I guess some app (eye of gnome, most likely) didn't close its junk properly. :) [12:12] Sterist, they have an optimized version. [12:12] repository* [12:12] greppy: what version of macbook? [12:12] Sterist, they say it is 50 times faster. [12:12] I am struggling to get my Apple LED cinema display working with Macbook [12:12]  [12:12] fasta lol you got to be kidding... how much =/ [12:12] erUSUL, I was and had massive problems with eclipse PDT after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 [12:12] tntc: 4th gen white intel [12:12] Sterist, I have no idea. [12:12] timmillwood: I got tired of managing two different OSs on one computer. [12:12] i type :wq and enter.. that should do it? [12:12] tntc: 2008 [12:12] azjo, write and quit [12:12] timmillwood: under 10.04? [12:12] omar_: ok; but 10.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 [12:12] tntc: like I said, I have three different OSs [12:12] Sterist, http://www.tuxera.com/ [12:13] Zoffix: its not reacting right [12:13] tntc: 10.04 updated to 10.10 beta. [12:13] nothing is happening === gary is now known as Gary [12:13] erUSUL, you do not happen to have the correct syntax for such a link, do you ? I tried a few times but dont seem to get it right [12:13] erUSUL, oh i see, okay but I have eclipse linked to my /bin directory and have it set up in my path variable and i get an error when i run it through that [12:13] greppy: neat! I'm hoping everything works on my MBP 13. I just bought it like two weeks ago. [12:13] Sterist, I am not affiliated with them, btw. [12:13] erUSUL, should I have ran ln with a different parameter? [12:13] timmillwood: I thought they had fixed the video-out problems with the latest nvidia drivers. [12:13] how do i write and quit in vi? [12:13] Sterist, ntfs-3g is pretty crappy, imho. [12:13] Votan: ln -s /path/to/directory /path/to/link ? [12:14] tntc: I'll check it later today [12:14] Hi, I am having problems installing Ubuntu Server 10.04 on my server. It fails when trying to install grub. [12:14] erUSUL, that's what I tried, that does not work : [12:14] anjo: I don't remember. Personally, I just use nano instead of vi. [12:14] tntc: so far I haven't had any problems with mine, but I haven't tried to get the camera working yet :) wifi and network and what not works just fine, as does OS X running in virtualbox [12:14] greppy: what about multitouch? Have you installed uTouch yet? [12:14] azjo: esc :wq [12:15] Votan: works here [12:15] tntc: nope, it worked out of the box, but all I have is two finger scrolling and right click, this one didn't really have all the neat multitouch stuff in it. [12:15] Votan: try this in an empty folder « mkdir linked ; touch linked/a ; ln -s linked/ link ; cd link; ls » [12:15] greppy: does it support it in OS X? Because supposedly uTouch adds all that. [12:16] tntc: don't think so. [12:16] fasta ubuntu is supposed to be free -_- those bastids are profiting on the base of other people's work [12:16] Sterist, what? [12:16] Sterist, no, they are not. [12:16] i have made a new xorg.conf. how do i test this without restarting? [12:16] Sterist, they did the hard work, I think. [12:16] sec [12:16] Sterist, it's like MySQL. [12:16] Sterist, fasta offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:17] Guys, what assembler/disassembler is part of the Linux toolset? [12:17] ikonia, you there? [12:17] I'm trying to setup squid over SSH. I can't find any tutorial that doesn't require that I forward ports for squid. I can SSH into the machine already though. [12:17] fruity: aseembler is gas ( as command ) you can install nasm too [12:17] bazhang, the economics of Ubuntu is off-topc? [12:17] now I have two ubuntu machines connected to each other over lan how do I transfer data [12:17] fasta, yes. this is tech support only. [12:17] erUSUL, disassembler? [12:18] bazhang fasta " Building on the success of open source " taken from their site. they started with someone else's work, and built closed source software for profit off of it [12:18] Sterist, still offtopic here [12:18] bazhang just saying. [12:18] Sterist, just say it in #ubuntu-offtopic please [12:18] Sterist, just assume for a minute that you don't know everything and read some stuff and then talk again. [12:18] hey, anyone know how to enable Remote Login to linux domain on Ubuntu? [12:18] !scp [12:18] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [12:19] om26er: do you have ssh enabled? [12:19] fruity: dunno; apt-cache search disassembler [12:19] tntc, not yet [12:19] !ssh [12:19] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [12:20] om26er: if so, you can just go to Places->Connect To Server and set the type to ssh, then connect with your username and password. I just install ssh via software center or apt-get install ssh [12:20] om26er: yeah, install ssh, and it'll let you transfer files securely. If you're doing a huge move, I'd use rsync over ssh instead. [12:20] that way if it fails you're not duplicating effort when you resume it [12:21] I want to login my domain account on linux server but want to login it with X server, but ubuntu hasn't remote login option so how to enable it [12:21] ? [12:21] ssh -X @ [12:21] apt-cache search ssh [12:21] whats -X do? [12:22] o [12:22] tntc, its like 300gb of data [12:22] om26er: yeah, use rsync for sure [12:23] I just transfered 2.1TB with rsync [12:23] took 58 hours [12:23] :') [12:23] 100mbit ftl [12:23] hi all i have a problem i have an old laptop 600mhz hdd 60gb 320mb ram and ati rage pro 8mb video i need linux with gui but all ditrs what i know runs very bad ( any ideas ? [12:24] Reehani, lubuntu perhaps [12:24] mint linux ? [12:24] zPimR: i was about to say that 58 hours is a lot [12:24] lubuntu already tried [12:24] derwolf, not supported here, please dont suggest it [12:24] Reehani, mint linux ? [12:25] Reeheni pclinuxos mini maybe [12:25] omg, just wanted to help [12:25] Reehani: what proccessor [12:25] runs a little better then overs bot too slow ( [12:25] hmhm, a switch inbetween was 100mbit. and I couldnt circumvent that... [12:25] pentium 3 600 [12:25] Can anyone tell me why X-chat makes my computer struggle when i change windows etc? [12:25] Reehani: I use archlinux with fluxbox on something similar [12:25] but yah, at 10 MByte/s you are relatively near fast ethernet's maximum (it's 12.5) [12:25] Reehani: good i686, try arch linux if you don't mind some work [12:25] If i scoll quicly it struggles to keep up with the text. [12:25] hmhm, both servers have 1Gbit connections, but the switch was just the throttle RichiH [12:25] Reehani: theres a really good guide on their website [12:26] zPimR: yah, read that [12:26] aeon-ltd, moetunes ubuntu solutions please [12:26] bb, changing channel to free mind [12:26] bazhang: there was none [12:26] I need to copy another 1TB, but that server doesnt have rsync im a fraid... [12:26] aeon-ltd: thanks a lot pal i will try but i want to collect more variants ) [12:26] Interesting. [12:26] any1 know how to enable that remote login on Ubuntu? all other distros has it [12:27] bazhang: sorry, but in the case of ubuntu for old hardware, unless you want the server install its just not possible for decent speed [12:27] piotr_: ssh? [12:27] aeon-ltd, sure it is. [12:27] minimal iso built up with flux or lxde [12:27] aeon-ltd, i want to login with xserver [12:27] aeon-ltd, server has installed xfce and it works nice but can't login from ubuntu [12:28] I did a hexdump of the boot sector of two different floppy disks. The first two bytes in both are 0x3ceb [12:28] I have an interesting issue with a newly installed 10.04 server on an asus eeebox 1007: after a few seconds of network inactivity it looks like it falls a sleep, and neews a second packet to wake up [12:28] i.e. the open ssh session responds to 1 keypress, and then stalls for a few seconds [12:28] piotr_: it's called remote desktop / VNC and Ubuntu has it. [12:28] it looks like some kind of powersaving functionality [12:29] anybody got an idea what might be wrong? [12:29] hmmm i will check this then [12:30] Does anybodu know why Ubuntu server fails to install grub on my server? Its a standard PC with a RAID striped SCSI harddisk. [12:30] hi guys, [12:30] i am having issues with the ubuntu mini release as it doesnt have my nic drivers [12:31] can i install ubuntu server and then remove certain packages and it would be a similar install [12:31] spiralis: a server with striped RAID? Are you sure that is a good idea? [12:31] i just need to know which packages to remove? [12:31] merciza: yes thats the basics of it. [12:31] merciza, might try the alternate cd for that [12:31] spiralis: #ubuntu-server [12:31] try the alternate [12:31] doesnt pick up my nic drivers ;( [12:31] merciza: some reason you need a mini install? What is your network card? [12:32] its a... [12:32] lemme go find [12:32] atl1e.ko [12:32] its that module [12:32] Maedox. Probably not a good idea, but - not my hardware :(. Thanks for the channel info. [12:32] but i have no idea how to build a custom mini.iso [12:32] !find atl1e.ko [12:32] File atl1e.ko found in linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-25-generic, linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-25-preempt, linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-25-server, linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.35-2.6.32-25-generic, linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.35-2.6.32-25-preempt, linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.35-2.6.32-25-server, linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-21 [12:33] i asked in here if someone could build it for me [12:33] but no luck [12:33] tntc, now both ubuntu systems are connected via lan, ssh is installed on both. when I click on 'connect to server' it asks for things that I dont know.. like server [12:33] does nfs4 not support ext4? i'm having problems exporting ext4 partitions. but ext3 seem to work [12:33] merciza: seems its in the backports modules package.. [12:33] could u build a mini.iso with it? [12:33] merciza, install the backports modules package for your kernel [12:33] I'm trying to setup squid over SSH. I can SSH into the computer, but I can't seem to configure squid correctly. Any ideas? [12:33] !test [12:33] Failed! [12:34] merciza: ive never needed a mini iso. You could just use a wired nic, install the thing perhaps.. or download it and install it from a flash drive perhaps. [12:34] bobbob1016: clarify why squid and ssh are related? you mean you are just sshing INTO a box, and want to configure squid from the command line? === nanomachine is now known as Evoken [12:35] ok, now what is it that I don't get: the directory /mnt/stuff/www belongs to the user www-data, the group is set to users, chmod is set to 764. My user Bla (belonging to the usergroup users) cannot cd into the folder /mnt/stuff/www ... why ?! [12:35] Votan: no executable permissions for the group [12:35] Dr_Willis, Sorry, I want to do squid over SSH. I am not at home, and want my traffic to tunneled to/from home. [12:36] maedox, there must be a way to remote login to domain with xserver via ssh, vnc doesnt works on server [12:36] hey,to configure a internet 3g it works?:System> Preferences> Network Connections> Wireless broadband> Add [12:36] !permissions > Votan [12:36] Votan, please see my private message [12:36] bobbob1016: so you are setting up a 'ssh tunnle' to your home machine You mean? [12:36] erUSUL ok, sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/stuff/www ... still permission denied [12:36] piotr_: try freenx then. [12:37] ok ty [12:37] http://www.dudalibre.com/gnulinuxcounter , a project to count the users using linux! [12:37] The goal is to prove linux is more than 1% [12:37] Votan: check stuff permissions too [12:37] 1% of what? [12:38] jimbauwens, dont paste here [12:39] hey,to configure a internet 3g it works?:System> Preferences> Network Connections> Wireless broadband> Add [12:39] odb|fidel: ammount of computers with linux of all computers, I assume [12:39] yep, market share [12:39] c3l: yes i assume that too - just looks pretty random [12:39] Dr_Willis, SSH tunnel for my http traffic. I am currently SSHed into my home PC. Basically I guess you could say I want to set it up as a vpn. [12:40] !ot | jimbauwens [12:40] jimbauwens: #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! [12:40] odb|fidel: and in spanish, why? if they want to reach everyone, using english as default would be smarter. now I see one can change language [12:40] can someone tell me, how to downgrade kde? [12:40] bobbob1016: setting up as a vpn would be a differnt way then using it as a ssh tunnle.. Im not sure which would work better. I rarely mess with that stuff. [12:40] I_C_Wieners: downgrade it to what? [12:40] from 4.5 to 4.4 [12:40] bobbob1016, ssh -f -N -L 8080:localhost:3128 yourhome.ip.tld [12:40] c3l: same impression here- looks kinda useless - anyway its OT anyways [12:41] How can I kill the browser Epiphany? I closed the browser window but I can still hear the stupid thing playing a video. [12:41] how do i tell "apt-key" to use a http proxy? it doesn't seem to honor /etc/apt/apt.conf or http_proxy env variable [12:41] bobbob1016, and then set localhost:8080 as your proxy. assuming your squid at home is running on port 3128. [12:41] RippleEffect: by killing the process via cli or system monitor most likely [12:41] RippleEffect: in cli - start with: man kill [12:41] odb|fidel, there is no process. I tried [12:42] ps aux|grep *epi* [12:42] alt+f2 then killall epiphany-browser [12:42] RippleEffect: k - no idea then - not using that app at all - sorry [12:42] RippleEffect, ps aux |grep -i Epiphany [12:42] Dr_Willis, i've just upgradet to 4.5.1 and now its fucked up, after login i only get a black screen with a mous on it, so i want kubuntu standard back, 4.4.2 i think [12:42] no process found [12:43] hey,to configure a internet 3g it works?:System> Preferences> Network Connections> Wireless broadband> Add [12:43] I_C_Wieners, language please [12:43] I_C_Wieners: as a test. try making a new user, see if it works for them. [12:43] RippleEffect: maybe flash or mplayer plugin is still playing, try to grep those [12:43] VCoolio, how? [12:43] I_C_Wieners: You could use the package manager tools to remove and reinstall the older versions. but im not sure how you 'upgraded' [12:43] RippleEffect : alt+f2 then killall epiphany-browser ? [12:44] without the '?' [12:44] with apt [12:44] Tonus, Thanks a lot, that worked great [12:44] jimbauwens: he was greping already for 'epi' [12:44] hello [12:44] I_C_Wieners: so it was a normal update? or did you install some ppa's ? or other repos? [12:44] jimbauwens: if ps xau doesnt show a process - killing randomly shouldnt help either [12:44] jimbauwens, no process found as I a already wrote [12:44] ok [12:45] other repos [12:45] I_C_Wieners: so you need to use a package manager, remove those packages. remove the repos. and reinstall kubuntu-desktop i imagine. [12:45] I_C_Wieners: you might need to install some light window manager, to use, if KDE is totally broken. [12:45] lol some 170 packages how do i know which? [12:45] I_C_Wieners: synaptic can show what packages came from what repos..... [12:46] !puregnome [12:46] If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [12:46] no its kubuntu [12:46] I_C_Wieners, that link tells you how to completely reset [12:46] I_C_Wieners: so thinking this through.. You read the url abovbe... remove the kde packages it mentions.. remove the extra repo.. then reinstall the kubuntu-desktop package [12:47] I_C_Wieners: logical eh? [12:47] I_C_Wieners: ive also seen a 'ppa purge' command/tool somewhere.. but ive not used it. I think Ubuntu-tweak has the feature also. [12:48] the ppa-purge is a script [12:48] I_C_Wieners: its possible if you use a new user. that the 'default' kde settings may work. Its hard to tell why kde is crashing on you [12:48] wasent ppa-purge included in 10.10? ive not noticed it. [12:48] maybe i just wait three days until ubuntu 10.10 comes out and upgrade [12:48] webupd8 has the ppa-purge script [12:48] Dr_Willis, yep [12:48] I_C_Wieners: you could upgrade now if you really wanted to. [12:49] pity [12:49] I_C_Wieners: personally i would test with a newly made user, see if it works for them. [12:49] maedox, in repos as of three days from now (maverick) [12:49] and if it does? [12:51] I_C_Wieners: then that proves its your problem users kde settings that are to blame. you coudl reset your kde settings. [12:51] I_C_Wieners: if a new user has issues also. thatn points to a deeper kde issue. [12:52] Dr_Willis, so how do i create a user via shell? [12:52] 'sudo adduser billgates' from console, login as billgates on KDM. if kdm is working... [12:52] bazhang: default ubuntu repos? cool :) [12:53] and what about the pw? === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan [12:53] I_C_Wieners: useradd username -m; passwd username [12:53] can anyone tell me where i must point --with-ssl-dir= to if i installed openssl with aptitude? [12:54] I_C_Wieners: err... set it to whatever you want... [12:54] ill have try, ty so far [12:55] Anyone running a decent pro-audio sound card with Ubuntu? [12:56] I need to change from my E-MU 1616m (no longer on laptop) and need something tried and tested with Linux [12:57] are there any good books out there that teach best practices for making .deb ?

I didn't enable it in the menu, but yet it was enabled. [13:38] tytyuyh: the only way you can get custom session options is creating .desktop files to read the .xsession , or using startx to read .xinitrc [13:38] "ubuntu" code? i thought it "debian" code [13:39] tytyuyh: so you've got a choice, ditch gdm and use startx, or do the custom .desktop solution [13:39] tytyuyh: the first is easier, though you'll need to log in via command line [13:39] tytyuyh, you might consider kde :) , I know it's blasphemy in here for some but it's a less cartooney option [13:39] hi im planning to make ubuntu boot thru usb...one question...if i use the usb to another pc...will it still boot up? or just for 1 pc?

[14:01] azertyuio, #ubuntu-offtopic [14:02] llutz why [14:02] llutz, why [14:02] Balsaq: i guess you burned a rockridge-cd with unix-permissions on it [14:03] llutz, that makes no sence i didnt do that [14:03] its memorex cd [14:03] oh lawdy [14:03] Balsaq: you don't even know what rockridge means, don't you? [14:03] no [14:04] llutz, why dont u tell me [14:04] Balsaq: how can you be sure then, you didn't do it? (i'm out at this point, no trolltime today) [14:05] llutz, good ur no help anyway [14:05] i have burned many cds in buntu [14:05] Hi all [14:06] Is there a way to oranize icons on the desktop? [14:07] MegaHerz, right click organize by name ? [14:07] what can I use on Ubuntu to extract the boot record from CD? GUI something please [14:07] MegaHerz: right click and uncheck "keep aligned" then organize them however you like [14:07] Balsaq: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Ridge [14:07] tytyuyh: why would you want to do that? [14:07] ilovefairuz, to remaster it later [14:08] bazhang: ok, I mean groupping them by some additional panels maybe. I don't like how they look on my desktop. [14:08] Balsaq: it does make sence.. if its mounted with the wrong permissions/ownership. [14:08] hello, i am considering downloading ubuntu and using it on my toshiba laptop. i have 4GB of RAM. does that mean i need to download the 64-bit edition? and why isnt it recommended for daily users? [14:08] i simply burned a data cd [14:08] tytyuyh: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 [14:09] munshi: forget that "not recommended" [14:09] Balsaq: try accessing the files from the commandline, see who ownes them and what permissions they are. its possible it got mounted wrongly. [14:09] munshi, that or pae kernel [14:09] tytyuyh: sorry, that's cli, but you don't get much simpler. [14:09] munshi, because no software audit has been performed to ensure 64-bit compatibility [14:09] whats that bazhang? [14:09] maybe if i put the cd in a windows computer it will open [14:09] hi, i would like to know how how many thread could be started on ubuntu 32 bits? (i would like to do a benchmark) [14:09] !pae [14:09] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [14:09] can someone help me? i'm trying to convert .mp3 audio files to .aiff [14:09] Is there a better channel for google desktop gadgets questions? [14:10] munshi, pae kernel with 32 bit will allow for all 4GB [14:10] everytime i do all those cmd things it never fixes anything [14:10] ehcah #google [14:10] Balsaq: whatever... good luck then. [14:10] greppy: tytyuyhhe said FROM cd, so if=/dev/cdrom of=mbr.bin [14:10] ehcah, /msg alis list *term* [14:10] greppy I doubt CDs work this way [14:10] i am a noob. so its seems that the link to enable PAE is the solution to that? and why not the 64-bit option [14:10] ive done those a million times [14:10] ilovefairuz: *shrug* so change the paths :) [14:10] I didn't get an answer from #google on using gadgets on ubuntu. [14:10] thanks Dr_Willis === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [14:10] Sorry. I should have been clearer. [14:11] munshi, your choice. linux-generic-pae package if you want 32bit [14:11] Balsaq: if you dont want to bother trouble shooting the issue. well not lot we can do for you. [14:11] can anyone help me with my issue? [14:11] tytyuyh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [14:11] i need a converter to convert .mp3 to .aiff [14:11] ok ill try cmd again but all it does is waste time [14:12] Chaos2358: Try Reaper through WINE === sm is now known as Guest10890 [14:12] thanx [14:12] Chaos2358: might have a look at SoundConverter: http://soundconverter.berlios.de/ [14:12] Chaos2358: www.reaper.fm [14:12] Chaos2358: it's in the repositories, i would imagine. [14:12] Chaos2358: Install through WINE [14:13] Chaos2358: "sox" is another, old-school choice [14:13] Buenos dias !! [14:13] wow so many choices [14:13] Chaos2358: Works perfectly and is the best 'cheap' horizontal sequencer I have ever used [14:13] no, my cd has no /isolinux dir, I need to extract bootrecord from CD itself [14:14] Chaos2358: Forget the idea of straight converters and get into audio engineering software. You will be able to edit what you are converting before you hit the GO button. Total control. [14:14] heard a cool noise but nuthin happened [14:14] cmd did nothing [14:15] made the cd engine rev up thats it [14:15] Leman_Russ i think thats a lil too advanced for me. only reason i'M using a converter is to cutomize the ui sounds on my iphone [14:16] Balsaq: and now try to access the proper mount point from the command line, and see who owns the files.. [14:16] Chaos2358: When you say 'customize', what do you mean? [14:16] 1q2w3e~! [14:17] thats what terminal tells me? [14:17] Balsaq: tells you what/where/when exactly? [14:17] Leman_Russ change the default to something else. its easy with ringtones as they can be mp3 but for on/off tones sms tones slider sounds etc they must be in .aiff [14:17] just gave me that nutty code i pasted [14:17] 1q2w3e~! [14:18] Balsaq: and what command did you type in? [14:18] Chaos2358: OK, I think the term you are looking for is 'convert'. Do you know the specs of the sounds you are working with? [14:18] Chaos2358: « ffmpeg -i file.mp3 file.aiff » No idea if the aiff file is compatible, but it's worth a shot. Use find or something to do multiple files. [14:18] sudo mount -o remount,umask=000 /dev/sr0 [14:18] that one [14:18] Leman_Russ what are you reffering to? [14:19] pclos user ? [14:19] good dvd player for xfce? [14:19] do i specifically have to install traceroute in ubuntu? shouldnt it come installed by default [14:19] maedox ffmpeg doesnt do aiff i tried last night [14:19] Balsaq: and Your cd is mounted to where /media/WHATEXACTLY ? [14:19] Chaos2358: is it 8/16/24/32/64bit? VBR? Stereo? Mono? etc === Liammm|AFK is now known as Liammm [14:20] i really dont know wut u mean sorry [14:20] its just my cd [14:20] Balsaq: Your cd is in /media/SOMENAME look in /media/ and see what the name is.

[14:22] Is there a way to preserve uptime across the reboots necessitated by Ubuntu updates? [14:22] Dr_Willis, it's a CD. not a hard drive [14:22] no such file or directory [14:22] stercor: wouldn't that defeat the purpose of "uptime"? [14:22] tytyuyh: the 'dd [14:23] sipior: Yes, it would. I was just hoping... [14:23] tytyuyh: the 'dd' command can extract the boot records of a hard drive also. [14:23] im simply putting a cd in my gd cd player [14:23] nothing fancy here [14:23] fuck sive1 [14:23] tytyuyh: geteltorito /dev/sr0 [14:23] stercor: if it bothers you, have a look at the rebootless kernel updates the Ksplice people put out. ubuntu desktop is supported at no cost, to my recollection. [14:23] what are you trying to say ? [14:23] its a cd that has 688 mb of data on it [14:23] i don't get u [14:23] Balsaq: and you dont seem to be able to type in the most basic of commands..

[14:25] funny [14:25] !langauge | stercor [14:25] stercor: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:25] Balsaq: so yur disk is in /media/Data disc' owned by 'jim' is that your linux users name? [14:25] IdleOne: ? [14:25] IdleOne: Oopsie... Sorry... [14:25] yes i am jim [14:25] sipior: ? [14:26] its my computer [14:26] my cd [14:26] my data my pics [14:26] Balsaq: you can do 'cd /media/Data' then enter to change directory to the CD files.. and then see whats in there via 'ls' [14:26] sorry for the stupid question but does it make a difference in processor speed if the system is 32-bit or 64-bit? [14:26] IdleOne: i was curious about your language complaint. [14:27] sipior: read the last statement of the person I highlighted [14:27] IdleOne: i did, hence my query. i guess it doesn't matter. [14:27] Balsaq: or the file manager should be able to access the disk also. under the /media/ directory [14:27] sipior: I guess your not a native English speaker. [14:27] IdleOne: that would be incorrect. [14:28] munshi: 64bit will gain you a little bit of speed in some cases. [14:28] sipior: Then it should be abvious to you [14:28] IdleOne: also "you're"./ [14:28] munshi: if im doing a 8 hr video reencode.. and 64bit gives me a 5% boost in encoding speeds.. :) it adds up. [14:28] err obvious* [14:29] hello....is there any way to have shared folders with a windows machine over the Internet? [14:29] cd /media/Data\ disc\ \(07\ Oct\ 10\)/ [14:29] giannis: over the internet - You may want to use some service like dropbox, or ubuntuone to be safest.. [14:29] Dr_willis..will that be because of the RAM which can be fixed in the PAE fix? [14:29] cd /media/Data\ disc\ \(07\ Oct\ 10\)/ [14:30] see thats wut it tells me [14:30] munshi: just 32 vs 64 on a 3 gb system.. will have a slight speed boost on the 64bit.. [14:30] Balsaq: so its telling you the name of the directory is Data Disk (07 Oct 10) [14:30] How do I know which harddrive my operating system is installed on... I have two ssd drives in my system, and I want to back up the one with my OS and everything else to the other which is blank using dd [14:30] ok [14:30] Balsaq: and the problem with that is what? [14:30] i tried to update rec-applet today and it's causing problems. synaptic says the package is in a bad state and i can't rmove nor update it [14:31] Dr_Willis: so i should go over file hosting? :/ [14:31] Balsaq: you MIGHT want to spend an hr reading some cli tutorials.. this is all chapter 1 stuff basically. [14:31] Dr_wilis: thank you, this has been of great help. but why is the ubuntu 64-bit not recommended for daily usage? [14:31] i really dont know i just want to view my pics [14:31] annecy: did you try "apt-get -f install" ? [14:31] munshi, because no software audit has been performed to ensure 64-bit compatibility [14:31] Balsaq: so do that cd thing and hit enter... you should be 'in' the cd. [14:31] Balsaq: then do a 'ls -l' and see if you see your files. [14:31] tytyuyh: that's nonsense. [14:31] glebihan: no, should i? [14:31] tytyuyh: what does that mean? [14:32] anyone else have issues getting the acrobat reader plugin to work in chrome on ubuntu? [14:32] annecy: yes, it may fix broken packages, don't forget "sudo" [14:32] can i just burn them in a manner that will allow me to simply view them a normal way [14:32] sipior, how is it nonsense? [14:32] tytyuyh: "is not true" :-) [14:32] Balsaq: i have no issues viewing them in a normal way.. You couldent even explain what was going on when you used the Gnome File manager to access the things.. [14:32] ThinkWork: doesn't chrome come with an own pdf-viewer built-in? [14:33] I always get "missing plugin" and I download the package (its a bin file) and run it, but nothing comes up or anything [14:33] llutz: I thought so... [14:33] Balsaq: load up a text editor and tell it to open a file from the cd. they are in /media/Data Disk (07 Oct 10) [14:33] tytyuh: and what does a software audit mean to an end user like me? [14:33] Balsaq: see if that works.. or point the gnome file manager to that location and see if it can open them now. [14:34] munshi, it means more bugs then in 32 edition, drivers not available etc [14:34] tytyuyh: again not true [14:34] tytyuyh: ive had very few issues with 64bit.. in fact.. i cant even think of one to mention.. other then zsnes being 32bit only. [14:34] glebihan: Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/rec-applet_0.2.3~lucid_i386.deb [14:34] sipior: and if it not true then why isnt it recommended to daily usage? [14:34] Hi [14:34] I Finally fixed the resolution on plymouth but now i get the splash screen of a second or two and then i get a console screen befor the login screen how can i fix that? [14:35] is there a way to customize the number of bubles in notify-osd? [14:35] exit [14:35] munshi: thats 'idiot proofing' for users that dont even know what 32 vs 64bit means.. pointing them to the 32bit release which will work on both. [14:35] Hi I'm having trouble with my keyboard when ever I try to use one of my alt keyboard layouts, nothing will show up, so I've removed them is there a way to fix this(I'm using a g15 keyboard) [14:35] munshi: the recommendation is in error, frankly. i believe a bug-report was filed a while back. [14:35] How do you determine what device ubuntu is installed on [14:35] Reccommendation Info (rant at) --> http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Marcel-Gagne-Orbiting-Planet-buntu/Stop-Apologizing-For-Linux [14:35] !plymouth [14:35] I would like to customize the number of notification bubbles [14:36] annecy: ok then try "sudo dpkg --purge rec-applet" and reinstall the package afterwards [14:36] Dr_Willis: too right! [14:36] so in the 10.10 edition in three days. that recommendation will be removed? [14:36] b0ot: simply type mount in terminal [14:36] ould not load image has zero width [14:37] munshi: probably not more info here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [14:37] could not load image has zero width [14:37] 10.04 is LTS and 10.10 not. both are two different 'distros' right? [14:37] question guys i installed something via terminal which was 26 mb it wasnt what i thought it was so i "sudo apt-get purge" the package but it only removed 15 mb what do i do to get rid of the rest of the crap it installed? [14:37] denysonique: no, same distro different release [14:38] glebihan: "package is ina very bad inconsistent state, you should reinstall before attempting to remove it" [14:38] !plymouth [14:38] I Finally fixed the resolution on plymouth but now i get the splash screen of a second or two and then i get a console screen befor the login screen how can i fix that? [14:38] IdleOne, it was flagged WONTFIX :) === chuck_ is now known as cf0531 [14:39] timothy, sda1 seem right? [14:39] question guys i installed something via terminal which was 26 mb it wasnt what i thought it was so i "sudo apt-get purge" the package but it only removed 15 mb what do i do to get rid of the rest of the crap it installed? [14:39] aeon-ltd, I meant 'distro' [14:39] is there a fedore irc? what channel? [14:39] Chaos2358, dependencies [14:39] cf0531: #fedora [14:39] tytyuyh HUH??? [14:40] b0ot: it could be. u can also type df -h to confirm [14:40] Chaos2358, no way to tell them from what you've installed yourself [14:40] denysonique: no, same distribution of linux but different release (it still stands) [14:40] Chaos2358, does apt-get autoremove work? [14:40] tytyuyh havent tried didnt know that command [14:40] Chaos2358: purge doesn't necessarily match package size [14:41] annecy: try "sudo dpkg --purge --force-all rec-applet" [14:41] on freenode? [14:41] tytyuyh trying it now [14:41] how do i remove the 'move to trash' context menu on rhythmbox? i do not like it. dangerous. [14:41] denysonique: long-term support releases are designed for servers to prevent massive code changes but still keeping up with patches and bug fixes [14:41] aeon-ltd, thus x.04 and x.10 are two separate release 'conventions' [14:41] right [14:41] aeon-ltd, thus no major updates? [14:41] agan_squiddy, recompile it [14:41] Just to be sure this is correct if I wanted to clone my current system loaded on sda1 all I would need to do would type "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/HHD2" [14:41] is #fedora on freenode? [14:41] tytyuyh thanks it removed 76mb [14:42] denysonique: yeah, its no like linux mint, where mint has regular and a debian version, that would be different distros but under the same name [14:42] glebihan: dpkg: error processing rec-applet (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 [14:42] cf0531: yes [14:42] cf0531, why not join 7 see? [14:42] b0ot, NO! it will corrupt HHD2 [14:42] tytyuyh, any guidance how to recompile it? [14:42] b0ot: that would image ALL of the partition sda1 to that file, You may want to use a 'bs=2048' (or larger) option. that may gain speed [14:42] cf0531, why it shouldn't? [14:42] b0ot: yea. u could try fsarchiver and partimage too [14:42] cf0531: /msg alis list *fedora* [14:43] aeon-ltd, lol, that is obvious, the name remains the same [14:43] sundel semua [14:43] cf0531, join too see and then ask in here [14:43] b0ot: fsarchiver is a very handy tool for 'archiveing' a disk image. and saving space at the same time. [14:43] agan_squiddy, apt-get source rhythmbox, ./configure --prefix=/usr, remove command from menu and recompile by make, sudo make install [14:43] tytyuyh, tyvm. [14:43] b0ot: if your sda1 was 50% empty. that hdd2 file would still be the same size as sda1, with fsarchiver it would at least be smaller. [14:44] seems like fsarchiver may be the way to go [14:44] I use gltext as my screen saver - when I do change the text by chaning gltext.desktop it seems to take along time to take effect, even surviving a boot - what changes are required to cause it to read the new value [14:44] hello guys I do not know if it is a Ubuntu issue but why can'tI I use VLC like udp://239.255.1.1:1001 ? is that an Ubuntu port or something ?

I have fired up xev to see if F11 is giving any input and it is not, yet when I do a fresh install of the OS it is fine, when I boot into another OS F11 works fine....very odd any suggestions would be appreciated [14:52] annecy: try without the "-f" option [14:53] glebihan: same [14:53] fsarchiver seems the way to go [14:53] maedox: I know I can create a live cd, I'm just wondering if a real install is better than a persistent live cd [14:54] samuelkadolph: a real install to the hard drive?

If you only have an msn account it is not necessary. [15:12] BedMan: it worked thank you, the mac was under Hwaddr.

I cannot find the applet to put the language chooser on the gnome panel and I also can't find the settings to add more languages. [15:13] samuelkadolph: you cant use fat on a 'real' install.

[15:15] shawn__: sh whatever.bin or somthing similer.. [15:15] shawn__: what are you installing? [15:15] glebihan: it just says 'done' [15:16] Dr_Willis, A game called Graal but theres no extension on it.. In the properties it just says shell script [15:16] annecy: ok, so run "sudo apt-get clean" then "sudo apt-get autoremove" [15:16] shawn__: so you 'run' it... [15:16] shawn__: sh whatever, or chmod +x whatever, then ./whatever [15:17] Well I tried using sh and it says "Syntax error expected "fi" [15:18] shawn__: then it's not a shell script, it's some other form of script [15:18] shawn__: perhaps a csh scrpt... what's on the first line? [15:18] shawn__: could try 'bash whatever' also [15:18] BedMan, shawn__ : or a shell script with syntax errors... [15:18] BedMan, Oh wait all I did was chmod it and then ./whatever it and now it worked [15:18] :) [15:18] glebihan: dpkg returns error(1) again [15:18] the first line was right then... [15:18] calling the proper interpreter [15:19] BedMan, The only reason I thought it was a shell script was because thats what it said in properties [15:19] fair enough :) [15:19] glebihan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/508040/ [15:21] please guys, I know I repeat myself right now but I really have to write an essay in greek and I can't find anywhere i can change the input language :\ I remember I had it on the panel but it somehow got lost recently and I never really cared until now that I need it again [15:21] annecy: looks like this package is really broken, try "wget https://launchpad.net/~osmoma/+archive/rec-applet/+files/rec-applet_0.2.3%7Ekarmic_i386.deb && sudo dpkg --force-all -i rec-applet_0.2.3~karmic_i386.deb" [15:22] Hello, does anybody know a tool to fragment a HDD/Device/Partition? [15:22] PotcFdk: why would you want to FRAGMENT a drive? don't you mean defragment? [15:23] no [15:23] I want to test something out [15:23] So is there a tool or do I have to create it on my own? [15:24] glebihan: still errors . . . i'd gladly not have the package at all . is there any way of deleting it? [15:25] annecy: well that's what I was trying to do in the end but it looks like it won't let you remove it until you get to properly install it... [15:25] PotcFdk: it depends on the used filesystems, afaik there is no such (workin) tool for ext-fs [15:25] PotcFdk: never heard of a tool to intentionally fragment a drive. you can always nearly fill up a volume, and then start writing and deleting files willy-nilly [15:25] annecy: could you pastebin the error message again ? [15:25] glebihan: it's abit of a vicious circle [15:26] sipior: that takes a long time :/ [15:26] PotcFdk: life's hard sometimes. [15:26] llutz_: FAT32 would be okay. [15:26] PotcFdk: write a shell script to do it [15:26] glebihan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/508045/ [15:28] I think I'll flood the partition with many, many small files, delete some of these, and copy a big file to it, so it uses the "gaps" [15:28] PotcFdk: make a script that writtes random sized files and then removes some but not all and then writtes some more. keep it running for a few days/weeks --> fragmented filesystem [15:28] annecy: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force rec-applet" [15:28] does dd copy the fragmented sh**, by the way? [15:29] antonis, System, Administration, Language support...you'll probably need to add greek. Also, you can change keyboard layout as well. System, Preferences, Keyboard.

[15:36] DynamicFail: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 for a single partition.. use sda and sdb for a whole drive. [15:36] kermit: use a tool to convert them to a standar format like mbox. then import them in your mail client [15:36] annecy: that's normal as the package is no longer available in your software list once you remove the ppa === sarah is now known as Guest85225 [15:36] aguitel: envy? that the old tweaking script? i dont think you want to mess with envy any more.

[15:37] Dr_Willis, jockey-gtk is not working for me [15:37] erUSUL: like what tool? [15:37] aguitel: if you knwo the package name you can install ig via the package manager. [15:38] Dr_Willis, i am not sure [15:39] glebihan: so should i just leave it to fester, and uncheck the box every time the update manager wants to update it? [15:39] aguitel: you havent even told us the actual problem. :) 'somthing' is not showing up in Jockey-gtk i am guessing.. what are we talking about.. [15:39] kermit, your outlook mail folders, are the on your computer, or are we talking about folders on your mail server? [15:39] phil_in_london: on the computer [15:39] Dr_Willis, jockey-gtk is empty [15:39] annecy: well for now that may be a solution, hoping that a future release will be able to solve the problem... [15:40] Greetings [15:40] aguitel: yes.. and what are you expecting to be there? are we talking about a video card? network card? [15:40] How do you use mkisofs with Juliet and Rockridge extentions so that it ignores multiple files with the same name? [15:40] Dr_Willis, the correct nvidia driver to install [15:40] kermit, you will have to change the format as erUSUL said. outlook uses its own proprietary format. Does outlook not give you any options for export? [15:40] glebihan: thanks for your help [15:40] aguitel: and your nvidia card is a _____ ?

You may want to check teh forums. it could be the nvidia driver versions in the current release no longer support that card. [15:42] erUSUL, nice, that is a real handy way :) [15:43] Dr_Willis, ok [15:43] Dr_Willis, now i use nv [15:43] Dr_Willis: dajhorn Based on Disk Utitlity it looks like my current ubuntu system is on /dev/sdb1 and my second drive is unformatted and at /dev/sda [15:44] kermit: http://linuxblog.kieser.net/2010/09/converting-pst-files-to-linux-mbox.html [15:44] DynamicFail: and how big is sda and sdb? [15:44] Hi all [15:44] I recently changed the default system umask to 077. I'm now having trouble with python packages I've installed since the umask change. What's the best way around this? Reset the system default to 022 and change my account's umask to 077? [15:44] Dr_Willis: both are 120 gigs [15:45] How would I view a drive label when the drive is connected but not mounted? [15:45] glebihan: hiya . ican't uncheck the package in the update manager [15:45] hey all. n00b question. I try to find "interface" tab on System->Preferences->Appearance. But I can't find it. Do I need to login as root? [15:45] Dr_Willis: sdb1 has 2 partitions: 115 gigs and 4.9 gig swap [15:45] aguitel: the oldest nvidia binary legacy driver 96 still supports the mx4, should show up under hardware drivers. [15:45] and is ext4 [15:45] DynamicFail: dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda bs=1M should image one drive to another.. including all paritions.. [15:45] Gparted shows the drive, but would like to do this via command line [15:45] DynamicFail: why are you doing this anyway? [15:46] Dr_Willis: in case one drive fails, I have an exact copy of it [15:46] to boot from [15:46] erUSUL: "Simply export your Outlook mail into a pst file." isnt that the format outlook stores them in anyway? [15:46] DynamicFail: you are better off using fsarchiver to backup an image to a filesystem ON the other hd... [15:47] Any ideas? [15:47] Dr_Willis: I also plan on using fsarchiver to make a 2nd backup on an external drive, but if my system fails, I want to instantly be able to bring it back up [15:47] DynamicFail: and hope you made a recent dd backup.. which tyou proberly wont be doing.. because dding that much data will take a lot of time. :) [15:47] kermit: dunno; never touched that *@@@#½ ~@@##! (insert something awfull here) that is outlook :) [15:48] annecy: this shouldn't prevent other packages from being upgraded, or so I hope [15:48] Dr_Willis: I have ssd drives [15:48] using a sdd drive to just sit there as a 'backup' in case the first SDD dies? seems like a bit of a waste. [15:48] kermit, the general idea works, if you install Thunderbird, it will ask if you want to import Outlook. Let it, then copy the thunderbird data files to your linux partition, boot linux, install thunderbird and point it to the files you copied over. [15:49] glebihan: no it doesn't. it's not catastrophic. i was just worried when, after removing the ppa, the package mangager wouldn't start [15:49] pop3 should be retired as a protocol, if imap were used this discussion wouldn't be happening :) [15:50] erUSUL: yeah, i have a client who's going down the classic path that i keep trying to warn him about.. 'converting' to linux by trying to A) dual boot, and B) use all the old propriatary formats from win.. in the end he's going to hate me and want his money back becaues linux isnt windows ;) [15:50] phil_in_london: have thunderbird, it doesnt list outlook as one of the supported import formats [15:50] phil_in_london: even with pop3 being banned, MS would use something own [15:50] phil_in_london: i think only the windows version does, which is weird, i didnt realize mozilla had radically different versions for different platformrs [15:50] kermit, really? [15:51] kermit, well then, the messy way, what formats does outlook export? [15:51] isnt there an exchange (commercial) plugin for thunderbird? [15:51] like erUSUL, I haven't used that p.o.s. for many moons now [15:51] phil_in_london: i dont know ): [15:51] glebihan: just finally, what update do you think would fix it , and where do you think the problem originates? [15:52] kermit, hmm, lets backup to your last statement, did you say that the windows version of thunderbird does import outlook? [15:52] phil_in_london: thats just a guses, since some page suggest to do that [15:52] kermit yeah, thats what I was saying to begin with...it does, it'll be one of the first questions it asks when you fire it up after installing. [15:53] Dr_Willis: Moment of truth- I plan on using this command "dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda bs=1M" [15:53] phil_in_london: will that run in wine? [15:53] kermit, I tried wine once a few years back...I'll leave you to imagine the horror :) [15:53] so is ubuntu as secure as fedora sense fedora is the only one with SElinux? im trying to learn ubuntu now and swap my desktops to ubuntu but 2 machines are at work and i was just wondering [15:54] kermit, any chance your client is using imap for mail? [15:54] also trying to find out the major differences with this new release coming out in the next few days [15:54] phil_in_london: maybe, but i think his email folder is older than his ISP [15:54] Cpt_Zyph, SELinux is about security on a LAN. so it depends [15:54] phil_in_london: nothing's worked in wine for me, i have a virtualbox of win.. but i'd have transfer 1.2GB each way to process his email [15:54] kermit, ha! I was working on one of those just last week. [15:54] Cpt_Zyph: you can install SeLinux in ubuntu if you really want [15:55] Cpt_Zyph, Ubuntu and Fedora are both linux so they're on the same magnitude of security (if you will) [15:55] edbian ok.. i still dont kno selinux too well. but i was liking what i saw with ubuntu from fresh install on these laptops and figured i should try to learn it [15:55] How would I view a drive label when the drive is connected but not mounted? [15:55] got ya [15:55] Gparted shows the drive, but would like to do this via command line [15:55] im not a big fan of SElinux but figured it would be good to learn as more security is always better.. [15:56] thanks for the feed back im going to look for articals that discuss the major differances between the 10.4 and 10.10 releases both netbook and desktop versions [15:57] DynamicFail: using that. may also confuse things if the system boots and sees 2 identcial drives with the same UUID. Not sure what it will do in that case. [15:57] kermit, no matter what you're going to be transferring alot of data, those pst files don't actually care to manage their size, hence the compact folders option in outlook. [15:57] aphrek: via the tune2fs command i think. or the blkid command. [15:57] Dr_Willis: well it is in progress [15:58] kermit, unless installing thunderbird on clients system is an option, looks like the readpst app that erUSUL mentioned is your only path. [15:58] does anyone know what this error is or anything about it? http://pastebin.com/3ZY3vKsr [15:58] Looking for someone with knowledge of Ubuntu and windows mobile devices (simple question). [15:58] Thanks Dr_willis [15:58] !ask | feher_ [15:58] feher_: 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. :-) [15:59] Tjkent: This is probably a bad burn. [15:59] dajhorn: ? like the cd that is in my cd drive is a bad burn? [16:00] dajhorn: Yes, if it a CD-R. [16:00] How can I use the PC's (ubuntu 10.04) internet connection to work on a windows mobile device via USB. Got the sync working, just need to set up the internet "sharing" for the device. [16:00] o ok. I can read the cd and play it any everything is fine. === timothy__ is now known as a2z [16:00] feher_: have you plugged in the usb cable? === Nwab is now known as Benwa [16:01] feher_: there is an option on the windows ce mobile to enable ics sharing, toggle that and it should show in networkmanager [16:01] acicula: yes, i did [16:01] Tjkent: Okay, then don't worry about it. Less likely causes are copy protection and/or multimode for things like a Mac filesystem. [16:01] got wm5, no setting for ICS [16:01] feher: you may need to get device manager so that it recognizes that it is there, I had to do that for an old Palm that I had [16:01] ah [16:01] but it works on win7 PC [16:01] dajhorn: thank you [16:02] feher_: does the device even show up in your networkmanager list? what make/model by the way [16:02] Tjkent: device manager? some stuff I need to download and install or its in Ubuntu? [16:02] Where do I set the default umask for only my account? .bashrc? .login? [16:02] is ASUS P525 [16:03] ubuntu software center [16:03] ok i check it [16:03] thanks [16:03] feher that problem is fix in 10 10 .... [16:03] CountDown: ~/.profile [16:03] after downloading it will be in system tools [16:03] I know ASP.Net sucks ass but does anybodu know of any editors available for Ubuntu? I have to use it for a course I'm doing :( I bet there won't be though due to Microsoft being obsessed with cornering the market with their crappy products... [16:03] try 10.10 RC it well work 100% [16:03] erUSUL: Ah, I thought I already looked there! Thanks. [16:04] !10.10 [16:04] 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 [16:04] Tricks: monodevelop [16:04] trickes, gedit will do syntax highlighting with color just fine for asp. [16:04] feher_: do you need to enable anything for ics to work under win7? [16:04] ? [16:04] acicula: no. just plug and it works [16:04] feher: does it show up in linux at all? [16:05] Dr_Willis: How do I know it's working/and how long do you think it should take with 2 ssd [16:05] DynamicFail: No idea - never owned a SDD. [16:05] feher_: can you pastebin the output from lsusb in a console? [16:05] erUSUL, ah excellent. That's a surprise! Thought i was going to have to go through the agro of VM a turdy windows machine :P [16:05] DynamicFail: theres some signal/command you can use that cuases dd to print out some info about its progress.. but i donr ecall what it is.. someone gave it earlier today in this channel i rcall. [16:06] i got the sync working so it should i guess [16:06] http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2008/06/show-progress-during-dd-copy.html [16:06] I use gedit for my asp, it works beautifully, perfect syntax highlight [16:06] nice this is it also does shell scripts, perl, php, etc. [16:07] woha... no kdevelop in the packages? [16:07] well the device manager can see it as i plugged it [16:07] Benkinooby: Its there. [16:07] ok what kind of PDA or mobile device is it? [16:07] Benkinooby: Its in backports for Lucid. [16:08] Dr_Willis: killall -urs1 dd or something [16:08] phil_in_london, yeah? does asp suck as much as it seems to? atm i know little about it but I mostly use php [16:08] ASUS p525 [16:09] DynamicFail: see the url i gave above... it shows some neat tricks for watching dd. [16:09] DynamicFail: according to info is « kill -S INFO $dd_PID » [16:09] phil_in_london, tutor is trying to make us use Microsoft Visual Studio but that's not really programming it's clicking buttons lol [16:09] phil_in_london, erUSUL: readpst seems to be what i needed, thanks. hopefully this will import the addressbook too.

Version 1.1.4-1 (lucid), package size 28 kB, installed size 140 kB [16:10] kermit: i dunno [16:10] feher_: you can try wvdial, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile at wireless modem explains how. right below it is shown how to view some debug messages if that does not work [16:10] Pici, ah, ok. thank you === chuck_ is now known as cf0531 [16:10] acicula: thanks will check it [16:10] Dr_Willis: 84 Gigs copied 90MB/sec [16:11] I cannot see my usb printer with lsusb, and syslogs keeps saying errors like this: device not accepting address 16, error -71 [16:11] ist any PPA to Nautilus Elementary ubu 10.10 ? [16:11] djomgg : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion. [16:13] Newa: unplug any hubs in between and make sure the usb cable works or try another one if you have it [16:14] Newa: try a different usb port [16:14] hello, I have goldendict installed on the 10.10. I am behind a proxy and when I try to access wikipedia definition form the golden dict I get proxy authentication error [16:15] In particular try the usb ports on the back of the computer if you do not have a laptop === sol1tude is now known as sol1tudew [16:17] ok. tried other ports. no hub in between. same error -71. I've noticed quite a number of threads on usb errors with little fixes [16:17] trucks, asp still sucks, .net added a whole new complexity to it, unnecessarily I think. [16:17] I'm having issues with my Home and End keys in X. I'm running openbox without gnome. From what I have googled it seems to be related to evdev and skrewy keycodes but looking in my Xorg.0.log file shows that evdev seems to be finding the correct keyboard. Does anyone know what my problem might be? === GR8CDNPumpkin is now known as GR8CDNPumpkin|AF [16:17] most of those involve fixing the hardware unfortunatly [16:17] Newa: did you try a different cable? === GR8CDNPumpkin|AF is now known as GR8CDNPumpkin [16:17] not yet, seeking if I have one now.. === GR8CDNPumpkin is now known as GR8CDNPumpkinAFK [16:18] tricks, but I've been making db connections with it since ver 1.0 so I'm like an old dog with it now. [16:18] and/or is this a new printer+cable or a used one that has been used before and now does not work/works on another machine? === GR8CDNPumpkinAFK is now known as Rythan [16:18] erUSUL, phil_in_london: Evolution tried to import the pst file from outlook, but it put all the archived mail in the Tasks folder, and the client said he had more than the number of emails it mentioned. [16:19] hi folk,about "install program" in ubuntu what does 4th form (install [OPTION]... -d DIRECTORY...) mean ?,man page says:"create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).",could anyone explain this for me ? thank alot [16:19] used before on same machine, worked (ubuntu 10.04) [16:19] Dr_Willis: The dd has completed, but in disk utility sda still shows as being 120gig free [16:19] tricks, try gedit for your stuff, click View on its Menu, and select the last option on the list, Highlight Mode, then Sources, the rest will be obvious. [16:19] found another cable, testing.. === Rythan is now known as GR8CDNPumpkin [16:19] kermit, I know nothing about evolution except that I wasn't able to properly manage multiple email accounts with it so it was one of the first packages I removed from my installation. [16:20] phil_in_london: so you use thunderbird? [16:20] phil_in_london, yeah but that won't compile it into it's closed source lameness tho [16:20] um...ok now i'm really confused. in /etc/selinux/config there's a comment that says: "# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:" and then it lists 3 values...default, mls, and src. that's pretty minor...but then the variable is actually set to "ubuntu" which isn't one of those three things and doesn't come with a description. anybody know what the "ubuntu" setting does? [16:20] tricks, oh, I thought you were looking for an editor, sorry about that. [16:20] hello, I have goldendict installed on the 10.10. I am behind a proxy and when I try to access wikipedia definition form the golden dict I get proxy authentication error. I have set the http_proxy variable but still... [16:20] jamil_1 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion. [16:21] DynamicFail: reboot... it may be confused. [16:21] DynamicFail: and hope the idnetical uuid;s dont mess things up [16:21] kermit, yeah, I tried a few, but settled back on Thunderbird, works well, handles as many accounts as you can throw at it. I've got no complaints. [16:21] phil_in_london, nah that's cool mate :) I'm really annoyed that a HNC Computing is a course aimed at how to teach you to click buttons within Microsoft products :( Bit disappointed [16:22] kermit, I even used thunderbird on windows before finally dropping the windows partition and popping the cork on the champagne :) [16:22] Newa: any luck? === Liammm is now known as Liammm|AFK [16:22] no help with change. I do see mentions of both ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd though [16:23] tricks, yeah, problem is that most teaching facilities are funded (or partially funded) by ms, or some ms certification company. [16:23] other on usb 1-3, other on usb 3-1 [16:23] hmm can you pastebin a bit of those logs? [16:23] sure [16:23] Hello people. Having a bit of a crisis with a 10.04 install. Loaded it up this morning, and it's not booting. (It gets stuck after "checking battery state"). Recovery console can access shell, but not failsafe graphics mode. Tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop in shell, failed. Any ideas how to recover from this...or where to start? [16:23] why does rhythmbox is shown at the second desktop istead of the first while opening it [16:24] Newa is this a new printer+cable or a used one that has been used before and now does not work/works on another machine? [16:24] phil_in_london, I KNEW IT!!! I was having this conversation with somebody the other day and I said I wonder how much money MS "donate" to the government to run these courses [16:24] !ot | Tricks phil_in_london [16:24] Tricks phil_in_london: #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! [16:24] MrMagoo: did you activate a hardware driver for a graphics card or does the system only have intel [16:25] http://pastebin.com/S5pzT2sx [16:25] phil_in_london: Hey; shouldn't you be in #ubuntu-uk ? ;-) [16:25] jpds, not that london [16:25] sorry,post again :_> hi folk,about "install program" in ubuntu what does 4th form (install [OPTION]... -d DIRECTORY...) mean ?,man page says:"create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).",could anyone explain this for me ? thank alot [16:25] used one that has been used before. exact model HP Laserjet P2015 [16:25] Recomandations for a simple ftp server (software) that does not use ubuntus user settings? [16:25] New can you try this http://urukrama.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/usb-drive-not-recognised-error-71/ [16:26] why does rhythmbox is shown at the second desktop instead of the first while opening it? [16:26] acicula: Onboard intel driver. Can't remember making any changes, but I did do an apt-get update of some packages without really looking at what was updated. It's *possible* this all came about because of a power cut during the update, but I can't be sure - was away from the PC. I'd be guessing the update was done before the powercut. [16:26] you should be able to rmmod usbcore | modprobe usbcore options use_both_scheme=y too if you know how to work with rmmod === ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [16:26] MrMagoo: hmm you can check by dropping to a root shell and just running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [16:27] says: ERROR: Module usbcore does not exist in /proc/modules [16:27] Newa: modprobe doesnt actually need the option parameter on the commandline, so just rmmod usbcore + any dependencies and then modprobe usbcore use_both_schemes=y [16:28] I have dual boot Win7/Xubuntu, my current xubuntu is 9.10, if i upgrade to 10.04 through update manager, will everything work fine ? [16:28] Newa: right, going back to google [16:28] onaogh: probably [16:29] randomOfAmber, i need more confident answer [16:29] acicula: Cheers, thanks - will try. (Wireless failing, so I have to DC from IRC to switch ethernet cable between this & the problem machine...back in 5) [16:29] why does rhythmbox is shown at the second desktop instead of the first while opening it? [16:29] gee, this selinux policy is maybe a bit *too* secure...i turned enforcement on, and now when i ssh to the server i get the motd followed by "/bin/bash: Permission denied" and then it closes the connection [16:29] onaogh: I don't know. depends on a few things I'd guess. you can always back up your data and run a fresh install if it doesn't [16:30] onaogh: I would assume it would [16:30] yaaar: yeah selinux is not very out of the box userfriendly , but its not really meant to either [16:31] when will be 10.10 out ? [16:31] onaogh: this sunday (10/10/10) [16:31] wow [16:31] 101010 [16:31] thats binary [16:31] IF things work right...

[16:44] I think I do, let me check.. [16:44] Diverdude: use imagemagick ?

[16:58] dont know [16:58] just as long i dont have to keep losing my wifi connection bec of an upgrade === feher_ is now known as Smilodonis [16:59] acicula: yes; but it is a brand new driver for the new cards. old cards are still left in the cold. no firmware for b43 driver :( [16:59] acicula: Didn't switch before trying. Num-lock + pgDown brings up numbers, so the keys are definitely being recognised. [17:00] acicula: (And I'm certain pgUp/Down works from within gnome-terminal) === OerHeks is now known as Oer [17:00] what about shift pageup [17:01] acicula: Nope, tried that too [17:01] id test it but my lcd doesnt work in text mode anymore [17:01] it's as of kernel 2.6.37. [17:01] acicula: disabled legacy support from bios. after booting, plugged printer in. same complains about device descriptor read/64, error -71 and not accepting address [17:01] err you could try restarting the process and hitting ctrl-z at the first sight of errors perhaps === mevolu_ is now known as mevolu [17:02] how can i set webcams microphone as the main microphone? [17:02] Newa: hmm well then im pretty much out of ideas to try [17:03] Newa: could retest disabling usb_suspend and that other option i suppose [17:03] ok. thank you so much for trying to help this extensively [17:03] Gangrel: Sound preferenves and Input tab [17:03] Newa: kinda weird that it refuses to work, dont see other references to this error bar the stuff that we've tried so afr [17:04] there was one suggestion to leave the computer unpowered for half an hour (and play guitar) [17:04] acicula: OK, sent the output to a text file & opened it. Output is setting up empathy common, then "Setting up desktop-file-utils (0.16-0ubuntu2)"...end of output. Perhaps means desktop-file-utils is the problem? [17:04] and I saw a mention of some usb hubs acting up after being powered on for a long time [17:05] there are no hubs that I know of, except ones integrated on the motherboard itself [17:05] Newa: could try a bios update (risky) [17:05] I guess that would be a step to try next. The comp is otherwise on 24/7 [17:05] ActionParsnip: did that already. using newest bios available :) [17:05] good [17:06] P21 to be precise [17:07] can anyone who has used grandr tell me how I make the changes permanent between reboots? [17:07] tumbleweed_: there's a command to write the current X config to xorg.conf [17:08] Can someone please help me on how to create a partition with Parted? [17:08] tumbleweed_: or if you can get to grips with xrandr you can have a command run at login [17:08] StevenSS, parted or Gparted ? [17:09] I guess parted. I want to learn to do it from CLI [17:09] acicula: how do I enable the config_usb_debug option? http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/24/209 [17:09] StevenSS: if yuo don't like parted you can always use fdisk too :) [17:09] What is best? [17:09] StevenSS: neither, they both accel in different ways [17:10] I'll use parted for now. try fdisk another time [17:10] StevenSS: if one was best the other wouldn't be included === Kaie- is now known as Mercedes-Alize [17:11] im trying to install php-fpm from dotdeb.org but it's giving errors like: Depends: libicu38 (>= 3.8-5) but it is not installable [17:11] why is this ? [17:11] What is the difference between Parted and Gparted? [17:11] gparted has a GUI [17:12] StevenSS: gparted uses a gnome gui [17:12] can someone help me with audio conversion? i've tried every so called converter i can find as well as the websites that claim to do it and i can not get .mpr converted to .aiff [17:12] StevenSS: parted is the cli version, gparted is just a gui interface to parted [17:13] Ah [17:13] How do I apt-pin the partner repository? === m_tadeu_ is now known as m_tadeu [17:13] quidnunc: afaik, you just pin a package to make it not update [17:14] Chaos2358, you want to convert what formats?

I want to pin an entire "main/universe/whatever" [17:18] Same problem, new error from sudo apt-get -f install: "gconftool-2 symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 undefined symbol g_regex_unref" ...any ideas?

Tried "sudo dhclient" which then works for 5 minutes then autodisconnects. (Am currently logged on via wife's Windows laptop) [17:20] Chaos2358, for sox : http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.html [17:20] i just have noticed several posts on people asking about that while searching the web [17:21] my nvidia needs to load nvidia glx, but I can find only the xorg glx module [17:23] is someone here who can help me with a nvidia problem? [17:23] !patience | opitzs [17:23] opitzs: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [17:23] !patience | kwtm [17:23] kwtm, please see my private message [17:23] it's addictive, amirite? ^_^ [17:23] I tried "Pin: release c=partner" but it is not working either [17:24] how do you disable RendR so that aticonfig does the work? (lucid 64bit, ati radeon 4500) [17:24] which is better wine or playonlinux [17:24] ActionParsnip: I tried "Pin: release c=partner" but it is not working either [17:24] xrandr* [17:24] Fusky, playonlinux is frontend for wine [17:24] oh did not know that [17:24] !help [17:24] 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. :-) [17:25] kwtm, have you tried using a live cd? [17:25] HELP! i installed Sugar environment on ubuntu and now if i have to click a button or selec anything i have to press ctrl+shift 1st [17:26] hey guys, does anyone know of touchscreen tools for ubuntu 10.04? [17:26] its very annoying and am not able to fix the issue [17:26] Can some please point me to a guide to help me to set up my laptop to use 2 audio devices at once with ubuntu 10.04? TIA! [17:26] the pointer when i use my touchscreen is waaay off [17:26] any suggestions? [17:26] ActionParsnip: I figured it out. apt-preferences works on first match in /etc/apt/preferences and I had another rule that matched before it [17:26] SAlut [17:26] Was that "!help" for me? I guess I should ask a specific question: what CLI commands should I try to help diagnose the problem? "ifconfig" shows the usual result of being connected to ethernet, even though the ethernet connection is useless. "ping www.google.com" works immediately after "sudo dhclient" but fails after a few minutes. [17:27] how to install russian encoding at latex ? [17:27] bharat_, are you looking for help uninstalling sugar? [17:27] hi guys, im trying to connect my HP Pavilion dv7 laptop with ATI Radeon to my Phillips lcd via HDMI but i get nothing. [17:27] Est-ce qu'il y a des Français? =) [17:27] plouffe: Interesting idea. Will try. But what information will that give me? I already know the hardware works since I can connect for a few minutes, then it cuts me off. [17:27] i have uninstalled it but its not getting rid of the situation [17:28] kwtm, well if it's a problem with your installation, then using the live cd you might be able to connect, which your primary concern, if I understood correctly [17:29] plouffe: Hmm... I've been using this 10.04 for quite a while with no problems, but this problem just started yesterday (I didn't do anything unusual other than the usual sudo apt-get upgrade). I wonder if it's a NetworkManager config corruption. [17:29] any suggestion about ubuntu touchscreen? [17:29] plouffe: So it's not the actual installation itself, but something that has corrupted the installation. [17:29] any help with hdmi out for watching movies? [17:29] sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-cyrillic [17:29] bharat_, what environment are you using now? gnome? [17:30] yes [17:30] plouffe: If I use a live CD, I won't be able to access my data, so it would be the same as using a differeent computer (like the one I'm usingnow)... [17:30] kwtm: you might mount the drives [17:30] kwtm, unless you use encrypted home directory , you should be able to access the data [17:30] any one have any experience with firepass? [17:31] I can't get an ssh tunnel esablished [17:31] 23 of this month is when maverick moves out of beta right? [17:31] kwtm, it's a workaround not a fix, I don't know enough to help you with that I'm afraid [17:31] opitzs: It's not the actual direct access to data, but the way it's set up. I'd have to install a ton of programs to be able to use the computer properly (e.g. truecrypt) which are really not feasible on a live CD. I'm pretty sure it's not the hardware, which is why I was asking what the potential benefit is of using the live CD. For diagnostic purposes, doubtful; for long-0term use,... [17:31] bharat_, how did you unistall? [17:31] ...impractical. [17:32] ubuntu software center [17:32] kwtm: do you have a proper connection with the live disk? [17:32] thats the same place i installed sugar [17:32] plouffe: Okay. Experience with NetworkManager? It seems to be the culprit but I can't tell. [17:32] I'm looking for help with latex and nobody seems to be answering me :( [17:32] kwtm: it might be a problem outside of your computer... [17:33] opitzs: I presume that I do, since it has worked before (and this is just ethernet, not wifi). Did you mean "does it still work after I install all the updates on the liveCD"? [17:33] Braber01: did you try on #latex ? [17:33] opitzs: I thought of a problem outside the computer, too, but I seem to be connecting fine with my wife's Windows laptop. [17:33] bharat_, run this : sudo rm -rf ~/.sugar [17:33] kwtm: check if the livecd has a proper connection [17:33] glebihan: yes I did [17:34] kwtm: to what do you connect? wlan router [17:34] opitzs: The Win laptop is connected to the same router. Also, I see an error in that when I click on KNetworkManager, it says "not managed" (as opposed to, say, "no connection") [17:34] itai_michaelson are you familiar with sox? its giving me an error that there is no such file or directory as what i put in for input but i know there is [17:34] opitzs: I connected to DD-WRT router (Linksys 54GL) [17:34] msg nomebot xdcc send #numero [17:34] done but still not responding [17:35] Chaos2358, used it before but not an expert, did you read the link i sent you? === Synthbread is now known as Synthboobs [17:35] bharat_, you might need to log off and log in [17:35] tried rebooting 4 times [17:35] kwtm: wpa2 personal? [17:35] still didnt work. is there a way of restoring back? [17:36] opitzs: Is there anything I can do to see if there is anything the matter with the software on my Ubuntu machine? Remember: I can connect for 5 minutes, surf web properly, do everything, and then something cuts me off automatically. [17:36] itai_michaelson yes but alot of it was really hard to understand. i got the command neccesary to convert [17:36] Chaos2358, were is the file you want to convert? [17:36] kwtm: one minute please [17:36] opitzs: You seem to be referring to a wireless connection protocol. I could try wifi, but as I said before, this is an ethernet connection. (Wifi has other problems that I'll deal with later.) [17:36] ubottu knows nothing of hdmi.. but in the forums there is hdmi listed.. how can that be, thought ubottu updated via the forums [17:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:36] Can some please point me to a guide to help me to set up my laptop to use 2 audio devices at once with ubuntu 10.04? TIA! [17:37] itai_michaelson tried with it in downloads and desktop [17:37] Chaos2358, are you familliar with the terminal ? [17:37] kwtm: can you ping the router, when the connection is gone? [17:37] i have to hold down ctrl+shift [17:37] nimbiotics: there is an applet for pulseaudio that should let you do that [17:37] opitzs: GOod question. WIll try. [17:38] itai_michaelson somewhat only being using ubuntu for about a week and a half before that only windows so not an expert [17:38] bharat_, my guess is that sugar was not completely uninstalled [17:38] its callled padevchooser [17:38] Chaos2358, ok, when you input a command in the terminal it assums that you are in /home [17:38] i have individually removed all packages realted to sugar. have installed it again and trying [17:38] opitzs: APpears to be able to reach router; will try again in 5 minutes when unable to ping google.com [17:38] Chaos2358, either move the file to /home [17:39] acicula: thanks [17:39] itai_michaelson home would be the folder with mu name on it correct?

I was wondering if it is possible backup an entire drive instead of individual parititons? [18:42] acicula: is there any way to force it or do I have to compile myself?

[18:43] In Ubuntu packages, which status should I use when the bug has been fixed upstream? (that is, in the applications development version) [18:43] Thor^^: you can inject a dependency without actually installing the package, that will fix apt-get nagging [18:43] aeon-ltd, thats it? it won't break anything? [18:43] but i've never tried that myself, google for injecting dependencies in apt-get [18:43] too much if you ask me. Internet should be everywhere like its in S.Korea [18:44] shazzr: smartmontools [18:44] tron__: hopefully not :), assuming canonical sdon't introduce new PPAs for stock ubuntu, besides you can just add the lines you;ve put in to the new sources.list [18:44] ganeshran, If you live in America they want you to pay top dollar for every service really [18:44] I can install Ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.30.1) in LVM2 partitions, but i cant do the same whit ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.34).

[18:46] acicula: and much more prone to interference [18:47] Quantum_Ion: Nah. Corporate offices have wonderful connections. Fibre. very reliable. But home internet penetration is still less and so is bandwidth [18:47] acicula: Hope so. [18:47] I've a question that could be in either ubuntu or in ubuntu+1. If I upgrade to Maverick (which is still in rc), will I be able to (and will that change anything) to reupgrade starting on October 10th when Maverick is released officially [18:47] ganeshran, okay I understand [18:47] aeon-ltd: true, but thats less of an issue in low density areas then it is in a metropole [18:47] sburwood: yes [18:47] acicula: yeah, seeing how san francisco failed at city wide wifi [18:48] hey everyone im a dumb [18:48] !ot | invisible [18:48] invisible: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[18:48] !fsarchiver [18:48] :( yes i am [18:48] hi there, is there any way to stop ubuntu from broadcastin gits machine name? when i log into my router i can see the name of my computer. that oncerns me when i connect to public wifi [18:49] aeon-ltd: well city wide wifi wont work, because the 2.4Ghz band is too crowded and not big enough even with small cells to cope [18:49] veteran: please try google sometime, http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~afedosov/qttut/ (that was the first link) [18:49] invisible: You aren't dumb unless you have the ability to learn and refuse to do so. (if you remain ignorant) [18:49] flintwestwood: the router has it becouse your machine is a dhclient of it [18:49] flintwestwood, edit /etc/hostname file [18:49] well, when my xbox is pugged in, it doesnt show up as xbox [18:50] acicula: Thanks [18:50] its just ------- [18:50] bye everyone [18:50] acicula: have you heard of 'super wifi'? [18:50] flintwestwood: your xbox has no hostname set ... [18:50] hello I am looking to copy 3 files from a directory via one command line example /media/foo /media/bar /media/foobar to /newlocation/foo /newlocation/bar /newlocation/foobar I know how do copy one at a time, but how do I do all 3 one one command line ? [18:50] aeon-ltd: err what standard would that be [18:50] will that affect terminal in any way? [18:50] will large area wifi work in the US, given teh geographical size and that vast areas are underpopulated [18:51] wifi doesnt do so well as a long range transmission system, despite people managing large distances [18:51] acicula: unnannouced so far iirc, but its the same except it operates between 50-700mhz [18:51] flomaster: cp /media/{foo,bar,foobar} /newlocation/ [18:51] I used to work for Dell before (yes, tech support), and a lot of customers in MST region still used dial up [18:51] acicula: this lower frequency should improve on that [18:51] erUSUL: thank you very much :) [18:52] ok, once i change the machine name, do i have to reboot for the changes to take effect? [18:52] Anyone know an app to make an mp3 tagged as a podcast? I hear tell it's a bit of work. [18:52] aeon-ltd: yeah its basicalyl the old tv spectrum? [18:52] acicula: yeah it is limited to the white spaces between old tv spectrums [18:52] flintwestwood: can some see your machine name on public wifi? [18:52] yes [18:52] and thats not disco disco [18:53] getting error in installing xfce4 or lxde as no such package [18:53] i am trying to install for arm using chroot [18:53] dhiry2k: search it in synaptics [18:53] dhiry2k: oh, please ignore my messahe [18:53] *message [18:53] aeon i am in chroot jail [18:53] aeon-ltd: looks nice enough, especially if they can standardize the frequencies globally [18:54] dhiry2k: do a 'sudo apt-get update' first to get new package lists [18:54] hi all. if I want to run a command like "sudo chown -R user:user dir" every hour, do I just write that command in a text file and save it in my cron.hourly folder ? [18:54] aeon-ltd, that also i did but not getting package name [18:54] hi, which library can I use to change compiz settings from commandline? [18:54] faure: well it has to be executable or you have to schedule a cronjob that executes the commands in the text file every hour [18:54] may be need to add some more repo entry [18:55] I have a problem with my hp dv7. I can only boot it with vesa and nomodeset flag. Else all I get is a black screen, even in recovery mode. No hotkeys work. 10.10 manages to recover to a shell, but still fail at a normal boot. Any solutions? [18:55] faure: o-0! what the **** are you doing that requires doing that? [18:55] not sure which entry need to add in sources.list for marvick arm [18:55] Guys, why is KDE so bloated with useless crap and a resource hog? [18:56] hello. I'm trying to install a .deb with dpkg. Is there a way that I can get more verbose error output? [18:56] KillGuta: you present as fact what is oly your opinion. [18:56] KillGuta, hey if you dont like KDE use GNOME [18:56] Steve973: verbose flag? [18:56] xD [18:56] Hi again. Still really struggling with this problem in dpkg: gconftool-2: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_regex_unref. Can't boot into gnome, cant fix broken apt-get packages, can't fix dpkg. Any ideas really appreciated... [18:57] MrMagoo: any chance of just doing a fresh reinstall? [18:57] oh, btw, the live cd boots just fine [18:58] acicula: Happy to reinstall so long as I can keep files on that FS. Is that doable? [18:58] evening all [18:58] MrMagoo: connect another disk, drag over any files to that disk, reinstall and copy them back? [18:58] Sebastiaan, Does your hp have an NVidia vide chipset in it ? [18:58] hi folks. has anyone had trouble compiling the standard c++ libraries in ubuntu? using gcc 4.4 to compile a program that includes , I get a compiler error about ~300 lines into that file, which I haven't modified from the installed condition [18:58] acicula, what is the verbose flag for dpkg? [18:59] Quantum_Ion: no, it's an ATI/i5 hybrid [18:59] Any good guide for setting up redmine on my ubuntu 10? [18:59] dhiry2k: sorry to leave you hanging but googling around i can't find any sources.lists or ppas for maverick arm devices [18:59] Steve973: err lookit up using man dpkg pageup/down and q to exit [18:59] brb rebooting comp [18:59] acicula, there is no verbose flag. [18:59] Sebastiaan, HP Computers are weird when it comes to running alternative operating systems [18:59] is there anyway to forward ports to my PS3 using ICS in Ubuntu lucid lynx [19:00] Steve973: sool, maybe the apt-get or dpkg log can tell you anything? [19:00] ThinWhiteDuke: enable the apropiate iptables/ufw rules ... [19:00] Sebastiaan: can you disable one of the gpus in the bios? [19:00] Quantum_Ion: yeah, I noticed :) Ubuntu was the firs distro to run without the 'acpi=off' flag [19:00] acicula: *nods* A few DBs I'd like to keep. It may come to that, but if at all possible I'd loove to save this machine. All my other machines I'd reformat in a minute, this one I'd loove to keep. [19:00] is there a program to do it [19:00] MrMagoo: some dbs go in /var [19:00] Quantum_Ion: no, the bios fails bigtime [19:01] someone know where to find the "perf_event.h"? [19:01] acicula, it only says that it half-installed the package. I am trying to find out *why* [19:01] MrMagoo: best way with sql is just to dump the entire database to a file and just read it in [19:01] HiddenHeroDH: probably in the kernel headers [19:01] acicula, dpkg.log, that is. [19:01] Quantum_Ion: just a few useless settings in the bios [19:01] erUSUL: where? sorry i don't know [19:02] erUSUL: where can i find the kernel headers? === luiz is now known as lzschmitt === slow-motion_ is now known as slow-motion [19:02] HiddenHeroDH: « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) » [19:03] acicula: *nods* Cheers. I'll tinker for another hour or two, but it looks like it might come down to that. [19:03] MrMagoo: the error means that some function or variable or we is not or no longer present in a library. Basically the two packages are mismatched [19:04] Sebastiaan, I wonder never recommend HP computers to anyone just poor quality, HP computers really just cares about Windows [19:04] Yeah, I know that now too :) [19:04] Steve973: i cant find something usefull on debugging the scripts that come with the deb, maybe the packaging wiki has something usefull on it [19:05] Sebastiaan: can you disable the discret gpu in the bios? [19:05] Quantum_Ion: If you want, you can read more about my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1584732 [19:05] Sebastiaan, I used to own an HP laptop that was so buggy there was lawsuit put out on HP for knowningly selling buggy NIVIDIA chipsets with HP Computers [19:05] Sebastiaan, okay thanks [19:05] acicula: no, I cannot change any usefull bios settings [19:05] Who would recommend "Open box" over "Black Box" or " Flux Box" I keep leaning toward "open box" as my new lite GUI. [19:06] can you still return it? [19:06] Sebastiaan, Your problem is definately the Crappy HP computer not Ubuntu [19:06] acicula sorry? return what? [19:06] one of my friends just got that Nvidia letter yesterday about the bad GPUs/ [19:06] no, I know it isn't ubuntu :) [19:07] Good Morning all [19:07] the laptop, hybrid gpu setups are still pretty terrible [19:07] Rasuogen, That is what I am talking about [19:07] under linux that is [19:07] Is there yet official 10.10 release party channel? [19:07] but i was hoping to still be able to fix itr [19:07] Hello, I'm having trouble getting hostapd working I'm using the driver=nl80211, here is what it is telling me when I try to start it. http://pastebin.com/6pFz8kDV [19:07] c0rona: #ubuntu-release-party ? [19:07] anyone about Open Box? yay or nay [19:07] #join ubuntu-release-party [19:07] As it worked before the initial updating [19:07] !best [19:07] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:08] Rasuogen, NVidia and HP Computers are 2 of the most shady computer parts manufacturers [19:08] acicula: *nods* Yeah. I'm guessing if I can get libglib-2.0.0 reinstalled it should fall back into place, but I can't reinstall through the repositories. Any ideas for getting that installed without apt-get? [19:08] At least Dell supports Ubuntu and stands by their products [19:08] NVidia and HP only address the issue when there is lawsuit pending [19:09] hmm, so, if I dump this (new) laptop, you'd recommend me a dell? [19:09] Dell's support sucks but I'm not really satisfied with anyones support. [19:09] Sebastiaan: well http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzk0Mw some work is being don [19:09] MrMagoo: manual download from the mirror and install with dpkg [19:09] Sebastiaan, Dell and Gateway usually I have had no problems running Ubuntu [19:09] argh Evolution has an option to import an addressbook in CSV, but nowhere can i find what fields it wants! [19:09] Sebastiaan, just stay away far away from HP products period [19:09] acicula: yeah, but it's not the gpu failing atm... [19:10] Quantum_Ion: oh believe me, I will [19:10] erUSUL: Are you still there? Was away, came back, saw bits of your text re: networking. Are you having the same problems as I: can't connect via ethernet? [19:10] acicula: *nods* I'll try, but dpkg needs to access the broken file in order to install the broken file. Catch-22. ;-) [19:11] kwtm: no; i am not having any problems. i usually here helping others ;P [19:11] MrMagoo: its never easy [19:11] Sebastiaan: err what is? [19:11] erUSUL: Was it Mathuin you were helping? Darn, guess s/he's gone... could you help walk me through some network problems? [19:12] kwtm: make the question in one line. i would read it and help if i can. others will rad it too [19:12] After updates last week I can't load into my wubi install of UNR. After the windows bootloader I get this error for a split second where grub should be loading: To (HD0,0) : NTFS5 NOWUBIDIR [19:12] To (HD0,1) : NTFS5 [19:13] acicula: hmm, dunno exactly, but since recov.mode also fails, and even after uninstalling AND modprobe -r'ing all video drivers the problem still persists, I guess it must be something else [19:13] hello! [19:13] I'd like to know, where could I find the icons I got for Downloads, Documents, Pictures in my home folder ? (using gnome) [19:14] Oh, hai [19:14] acicula: I've attached some xorg log files in this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1584732 [19:15] (second post) [19:15] Using Kubuntu 10.04 with no network problems till yesterday, then suddenly won't autoconnect to network via wifi or ethernet. KNetworkManager says "connections unmanaged", can't access right-click menu. Tried "sudo dhclient" which will connect ok for a few minutes ("ping www.google.com" is ok), then it silently loses connection ("ping www.google.com" is 100% packet loss) although still able... [19:15] ...to ping router (DD-WRT Linksys 54GL). Doubt router problem since other computers connecting ok, including this WinXP laptop I'm using. [19:15] kwtm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:16] cx42net: how do you mean? like the icon locations? [19:16] FloodBot3, not intentional. ChatZilla automatically put the "Enter". You should be better programmed. [19:16] Does Ubuntu have tools to make an image of a ubuntu system taht I can then use to install to multiple boxes? [19:16] Sebastiaan: i wouldnt know where to begin tbh, if it worked before id just reinstall and not switch drivers [19:16] !automate [19:16] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [19:17] acicula: yeah, I will, 10.10.10 :) [19:17] mkquist__: I'm not sure to understand what you mean by location, but for example, for the Download folder, I have a down arrow on the folder, i'd like to create an other folder with the same arrow [19:17] erUSUL: Is that the right amount of detail for my question, or should I have made the line shorter (ChatZilla auto-split the line) so FloodBot wouldn't complain? [19:17] hi. I am on lucid. When I do a ctrl+alt+f1 and go to the console my console is completely garbled. I have seen this on 2 machines. How can I fix this? [19:17] Hello everyone [19:17] kwtm: if you can ping your router then your wifi is working fine [19:17] is ubuntu 10.10 usefull ? [19:17] acicula: the usb started working again [19:17] akaruz: not really. Wait 3 days [19:17] akaruz: Potentially. [19:18] Newa: what changed?

[19:19] the bios settings remained unchanged, if that's what you mean [19:19] it's a desktop machine [19:19] heh [19:20] Can anyone help? I'm interested in trying the unity interface of my laptop, but i've got ubuntu desktop installed. is there any easy way? [19:20] so now it works but we dont know why [19:20] hi [19:21] why does ureadahead need a patched kernel, and why is it better than other readaheads? [19:21] Tink: just install unity from synaptic or using "sudo apt-get install unity" [19:21] glebihan: cheers. should i then reboot, or will it start up automatically? [19:21] yep. messed up usb chip that cannot be easily reset perhaps. I'm thinking of applying the idleness fix also if it would stay working. [19:22] Tink: no need to reboot, just log out and log back in selecting unity as desktop session [19:22] glebihan: fantastic, cheers [19:22] !pm > invisible [19:22] invisible, please see my private message [19:22] thanks very much :) [19:22] now that it works, lsusb gives: Bus 003 Device 006: ID 03f0:3817 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet P2015 series [19:22] someone has an idea about where the icons folder is for the ones located in the home folder (Music, Downloads, Picture, etc) ?

[19:24] acicula: will do if it happens again [19:24] grounding should be ok, the line is connected to the only grounded socket in the house (kitchen) [19:24] i feel like a noob to ask but i can get the terminal open i did this http://hoedoejedat.be/ubuntu/terminalvenster-openen-in-ubuntu but the terminal open for 2 sec and ............. then it disappear [19:24] or try another cable, heh. i've had usb cables before that worked intermittently [19:25] considering the usb keyboard didn't work either, I'd say the cable is not at fault [19:25] well it could be shorting the hub === james is now known as Guest4069 [19:25] though that doesnt seem very likely [19:26] I just did a dd from my main ubuntu drive to my external drive (the ubuntu drive had sda1, sda2, and sda5) but when I looked at the external drive it just says unknown [19:26] or route it through a powered hub first. I've had some flaky usb performance myself with an older mothreboard where the keyboard would just work intermittently and vary with the port i was using === Guest4069 is now known as semajc [19:27] I have what may be a really stupid newbie question, but I'm stumped. [19:27] !cloning [19:27] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [19:27] For various Sound Technical Reasons, I must have a package installed which came as a binary package with a single bogus dependency listing. [19:27] The dependency it thinks it has is a lie. It works fine without the "missing" package. [19:27] why did you use DD, and where does it say unknown? [19:28] But now I cannot interact with apt-get/aptitude without them demanding that I "resolve" the dependency problem. === invisible is now known as noob [19:28] The only "solution" they can suggest is to remove this package. But I don't want it removed. I want it politely ignored as though it were not there at all. [19:28] Is there any way to force apt-get/aptitude/etc. to simply *ignore* a specific package, or dependency, or something? [19:28] seebs: modify the package to not include this dep [19:29] How do I modify a .deb file to not include a dependency? Note that there is no source form available. (Long story.) [19:29] Ideally the people who made the package should do that [19:29] How do I report a bug for the ctrl+alt+f1 console? what package should I give for apport? [19:29] seebs: you can also download the package and install it with "sudo dpkg --force-depends -i package.deb" [19:29] glebihan: I did that. [19:29] ... Wait. No, I didn't. [19:29] I did --ignore-depends. [19:30] i guess kms takes care of swithcing from graphics to terminal? so kernel or xorg? [19:30] seebs: a deb is an archive of archives, you should be able to unpack, modify and pack it again [19:30] seebs: I think you can also do a --no-install-recommends [19:30] ... Hmm. --force-depends doesn't change it, it still does the same thing. [19:30] <__filip_> How can i resize my ntfs partion in ubuntu? [19:31] !resize [19:31] The problem is that once I have installed the package (which I can do successfully with --force-depends), the entire apt* family of things is unable to perform any operation without "resolving the conflict". [19:31] i can tether my htc hd2 on my netbook (ubuntu 9.10 32bit), but when i try to tether on my desktop (10.04 64bit) i cannot connect to the web [19:31] oh well, gparted should let you do that [19:31] acicula, xorg? [19:31] jonnor: dpkg x filename ,to extract debs. If there is a package with duplicated files so refuses to install use: --force-all ,option and log a bug [19:32] nascentmind: if you have a KMS enable driver, you should file with the kernel. If not, you should file with the xorg driver you are using [19:32] <__filip_> acicula, what i thought but cant find that opin in the gui [19:32] Drunken: I tether my laptop with 10.04 to my droid all the time. can you ping the gateway?

[19:34] aka, your phone? [19:34] baggar, i can use ICS to access the cellphone through the netbook. which is extremely slow. i think its something to do with the error above [19:34] baggar, no [19:34] blacktooth: gksudo for gui apps dude [19:34] There is no source available, it's a sorta special custom one-off binary package. [19:35] the rndis error msg was from kern.log when i enable the connection [19:35] ah [19:35] ActionParsnip hmmmm [19:35] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, sorry 10.04 [19:35] and it doesn't do that with the netbook [19:35] I guess I could just extract the files manually. [19:35] exit [19:35] Drunken: are you doing wifi tether or sub? [19:35] hehe, usb? [19:35] usb [19:35] :) [19:35] __filip_: the app should run from the ALT+F2 dialogue [19:36] That's actually the simplest way -- it's really just a couple of files, I can just unpack them and not have them be known to the package system. [19:36] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, nope it is not [19:36] Still seems weird that there's no way at all to override the dependency check and say "I know you think you need that, but really you don't."

When i connect from network manager, 5 seconds later it disconnected automatically. I have already tried umtsmon too. It worked at first, but later it says "can't create PPP connection". Anyone can help? [19:41] Guest87945: if you are installing windows, if you make the space unpartitioned then the inster can be told to format it by itself [19:41] flame_axoneme: when the connection drops, run: dmesg | tail ,the output will give clues [19:41] ActionParsnip if I remove the partition under linux then boot into the windows install cd and partition the drive it only partitions it as raw not ntfs. [19:42] any idea please ? [19:42] that happenned when i used huawei e220, now i'm using sierra at/t 881u. works well [19:42] hello [19:42] Guest87945: yes and the windows installer can be told to use the free space and make a new ntfs partition in it [19:42] rusivi: I was helping drunken out with his tethering problems.

People give solution, but confusing.. +_+ [19:45] Guest87945: you tell the OS to format it. Do you seriously think windows users need a seperate boot disk to partition their drives before installing? Windows isn't that bad [19:45] i wanne lurn to juce terminal venster but it wont stay open [19:46] and google hates me [19:46] robotti^: did you install the proprietary driver? === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [19:46] ActionParsnip my whole reason for being in here is because it isnt doing what its supposed to do, its only partitioning the drive as a raw format.

It's not possible to switch to any other VT [19:47] hello [19:47] hello [19:47] Guest87945: i'd ask in ##windows . You can use ntfsprogs and it will give an ntfs option in gparted butpart of the windows install process is to partition and format [19:48] anyone here efficient with backtrack? [19:48] wicla: the drivers are usually called 'nvidia-current' [19:48] Removed all nvidia* packages. This allowed me to boot into the system and I removed the properiary drivers from the hardware/drivers. Once rebooted it ended up not working again [19:48] ActionParsnip ok ill try over there, the ntfs partition that gparted makes windows installer wont recognize either.

[19:49] Wicla: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [19:50] __filip_: make sure the partitions on the disk are all unmounted before starting [19:50] does anyone have used a phidget to boot ubuntu into a Blaze? [19:50] anyone efficient with backtrack [19:50] ShakeyJake: yeah removed it. It allowed me to boot in "low graphics" mode. They I went to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and remove the properiary drivers. But it still got blank at gdm once rebooted [19:50] ActionParsnip: It worked with the open-source drivers [19:50] looking for some packages that kind of work like that in ubuntu [19:50] HaxXxoR: backtrack is offtopic here [19:50] boa tarde galera.... [19:50] erUSUL: Rebooted router --boy that was more complicated than I thought. kNM connection unamanged means I don't know what to do now. Refers to both wired and wireless connection (e.g. usually when I plug in ethernet, then it automatically switches to that from wireless, but now it doesn't connect to anything) [19:50] Just needs to get rid of the properiary ones :) [19:51] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, I cant have any partions mounted on the disk?

Its in the options [19:56] wessel: gedit should be ok (but I don't use it, thus not sure). When you paste into gedit, it all comes out in one line? [19:56] robotti^: its a 3rd party repo.

[20:19] a [20:19] kibibyte: 1) don't repeat frequently 2) mind your attitude 3) we are not the developers [20:19] prov: to what kernel did you update? [20:19] seriously i am wondering how to monitor my bandwidth in ubuntu 10.10, but i dont get 1 answer. does any1 know or am i on the wrong place ? i see youre helping people setting up aircrack-ng suite very "official ubuntu support" [20:20] guntbert, then who are you [20:20] ? [20:20] Chaos2358: still, how sox functions isnt an ubuntu related issue, therefore this is not the place to ask for help with that particular software. [20:20] acicula: how may i check? [20:20] vee the only way i know of is through cairo dock [20:20] thank you for help! now I have working system [20:20] vee: #ubuntu+1 for maverick [20:20] what is a better solution to get rid of "BROKEN PACKAGES" ... it comes always to me while using apt-get..... everytime i give apt-get -f install [20:20] and guys how the hell do i block c3l [20:20] i'm sick of seeing super troopers comments [20:21] Chaos2358: can cairo dock do that [20:21] I'm looking into setting up a dual boot. Win7 came preinstalled, 1 system partition (60gb) and another data (350gb)... [20:21] kibibyte: I'm just another user/helper - please keep to the topic [20:21] i have a question about ubuntu software the sox dedicated chanel is empty [20:21] Chaos2358: don't think that attitude is gonna work [20:21] is 5gb enough for a system partition for ubuntu, and is there a way to configure it to use 50gb (creating a new partition in ext3 off my free space in the data partition) and having all apps installed there? [20:21] vee yes there is an applet for it [20:21] guntbert, where is ubuntu dev hannekl [20:21] channel [20:21] Anand: what't ecactly the message¿ tried sudo apt-get install -f¿ [20:21] Nice Thank you very much [20:21] Chaos2358, To ignore it is / ignore c3l priv [20:21] Chaos2358: Thank u very much [20:22] dazappa: its easier to just create a root filesystem sufficiently large, like 20Gb [20:22] Error: mail_executable: Can't use /usr/lib/dovecot/imap: No such file or directory - how do i fix this? [20:22] no space between / and ignore though [20:22] dazappa, goto diskmanagment and shrink volume [20:22] xangua man it just gets on my nerves i researhed and researched, i went to the dedicated chanel which is empty and then come here and have to deal with hall monitors [20:22] acicula: 2.6.32-25-generic [20:22] acicula: that's the problem, the system volume only has 10gb left, thanks to Windows, and I'd like to have at least 50gb of breathing room [20:22] kibibyte: #ubuntu-devel - but be advised that you should be polite there too [20:22] volume -> partition [20:23] prov: what crypto setup are you using? [20:23] nevermind. it seems i needed dovecot-imapd [20:23] acicula: how can I check that [20:23] vee no prob [20:23] dazappa: well i wont say 10GB is not enough but its pretty tight [20:23] Hey all I have a disk image of ubuntu 9.10 that I replicate to about 500 different machines. I am having an issue with the 70-persistent-net.rules becuaes it wants to name the nic based of the mac address while this changes with each machine. I would like to set it up to look if ATTR{operstate}=="up" then call that car eth1 I have 2 nic's in each box and only one is ever used. how would I do this. [20:23] Is there any better alternative to nm-applet..It gives me SEGFAULT when i connect to my ad-hoc connection.. [20:23] hey, i've got the latest flash and chromium builds... and whenever i full screen flash videos, the video locks up, but sound continues. how can i fix it? i've tried reinstalling flash [20:23] prov: you said you were using some form of crypto right? [20:23] acicula: yes [20:24] dazappa: anyway "apps" reside mostly under /usr, there is little to be gained on a desktop by separating that [20:24] Dev^Null: if you don't get answers here try #ubuntu-server [20:24] monofonik: normally flash sucks in linux, using 64bit plugin¿ even more [20:24] and for things like burning dvd's you'll want a sufficiently large free disk buffer [20:24] prov: so what did you do to enable encryption [20:24] when will 10.10 be released? also can i upgrade from 10.10 RC to full easily? [20:24] Chaos2358: it's not our problem that the support channel that is unrelated to ubuntu is empty. I see they have a mailing list, I suggest you try here http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=10706 [20:24] monofonik, i have the same [20:24] Kaffien: 10-10-10 [20:24] Kaffien: dunno and yes [20:24] Is there any better alternative to nm-applet..It gives me SEGFAULT when i connect to my ad-hoc connection.. [20:24] Kaffien : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion. [20:25] acicula: I used ubuntu alternative install. [20:25] blacktooth: there are some alternatives to networmanager/nm-applet [20:25] were is the setting where you can define which mac addresses are assoicated with specific eth [20:25] the close button is so close to the minimize button that I accidently close my window [20:25] prov: you set up a system with dm-crypt? [20:25] c3l man why not go fuck your mother and get off my shit dude i didnt ask for your input and i dont need or want it let it go and go masturbate to a source code [20:25] xangua, i'm using 32 bit.

[20:26] dazappa, goto diskmanagment and shrink volume [20:26] @ acicula, thanks for your time :) I booted from the Live CD and there was no detection of a network. I guess the onboard Eth is dead. Thanks ;) [20:26] blacktooth: radar for one i think [20:26] Tom22: well maybe its switched off in the bios [20:26] does anyone have any experience working with iPods or Sony Walkmans using Banshee or Rhythmbox in 10.04? [20:26] acicula: oh. i will give it a try [20:26] how do i fix this? - Thu Oct 7 14:25:13 2010: /etc/environment has been deprecated for locale information; use /etc/default/locale for LANG="en_US.UTF-8" instead ... ^[[33m(warning).^[[39;49m [20:27] How can I get them back? [20:27] acicula, by itself? it was working this afternoon, could it just randomly turn itself off? [20:27] Tom22: not likely [20:27] Question: Does Ubuntu play well with AMD? [20:27] acicula: I am sorry for my slow responses. [20:27] Anand: quick question that could help me avoid these problems -- if I make a 50gb partition from my current data partition, can ubuntu be installed happily there and can grub boot from there? [20:27] acicula, is it worth resetting the CMOS? [20:28] prov: can you select an older kernel at boot from the boot manager, does mac use grub as a bootmanager? [20:28] El_Brujo: Of course, why wouldn't it [20:28] dazappa should be ok cause thats what i did [20:28] Tom22: well it cant hurt if you know your way around a bios [20:28] Heyhey, I have an mdraid fakeraid. Grub is already installed , but i think grub2 wont work . I used Debian and suse this way, how would I go about getting (K)ubuntu to run ? any special images maybe?. [20:28] I'm just curious, because I've never used AMD, AaronMT. [20:28] acicula, yeah. I'll give it a shot [20:28] dazappa, u know wat i insatlled ubuntu in 10gb and it works perfectly [20:28] dazappa, so no prob u do tht [20:28] El_Brujo: yeah, all major hardware manufactors are supported. Though there can be some issues with drivers for some graphicscards, for example nvidia === diogo is now known as diogob [20:29] El_Brujo, it does not matter what CPU you use. they all work . its x86 after all- [20:29] acicula: I have tried but it seems the new kernel has "hijacked" cryptsetup. Cryptsetup is no longer availabe to the old kernel. [20:29] How would I go about accessing a shared windows folder, on Ubuntu? [20:30] D4CH, press alt+f2 and goto networks [20:30] D4CH: Places->Connect to server === gunbritt is now known as inteallahonsen [20:30] acicula: I press alt at boot for mac to show me the option to go to grub. [20:30] D4CH, sry alt->f1 [20:31] prov: well as long as you have your keys stored somewhere safe you should be able to get to the volumes and your data, but i have no idea how to fix a broken dm-crypt setup. Id suggest a forum post as people running their own dm-crypt setup are kinda thin on the ground [20:31] also another random question, should I use the 32 bit version of Ubuntu dekstop? It says the 64bit version isn't recommended (but I have 4gb of ram) [20:32] If you update to 10.10 RC, is it easy to update to release version of 10.10 later on? [20:32] glaucous: yes [20:32] !final > glaucous [20:32] glaucous, please see my private message [20:32] glaucous: Further 10.10 questions should be asked in #ubuntu+1 [20:32] dazappa: use 64 bit version, but flash is not supported. it's only an alpha that yo uwill have to download separately. [20:32] Pici, acicula, thank you. [20:32] flash works just fine on 64bit [20:32] "password required for ..." but I dont have a password on windows [20:32] it's discontinued [20:33] Hello, I'm trying to get a wildcard (*.local) dns entry that points to 127.0.0.1.

I would like to VNC into a headless box but VNC does start unless i login locally first. [20:33] if you are trying to connect to a windows computer on a network for anything at all you have to have a password on the windows computer or it wont work [20:34] acaicula: this is my first whole disk encrypt. But i reinstalled 4 days ago for this same problem but I just installed the new kernel again because i thought it was a bug fix (for it was like an immidiet alert update) for it. [20:34] hi [20:35] prov: i understand the problem, but i so far have avoided fde systems like dm-crypt, though if you can find anything resmebling an error googling that might be able to shed some light on whats going wrong [20:35] acicula: thanks for your help. [20:35] acicula, does the light normally come on as soon as the PC starts? or when the OS loads? [20:35] Tom22: it should be on even in standby [20:36] Tom22: is the light on the switch on? [20:36] acicula, nope [20:36] any university of london students here? [20:37] tris2k: no [20:37] ahahaha [20:41] Would all ethernet cards use the eth0 adapter? [20:41] No. [20:42] If I had one set up, eth0, then the adapter died, so I replaced it, would the new one use eth0, or would I need to set up a new adapter?

Fedora 13 menu entry was added. I restarted my computer and choose fedora 13 from grub. Which resulted in a lot error messages and fedora went into panic mode. Any thoughts?

[22:45] hola [22:46] leife, I'm trying to find other solution because my server don't have gui interface [22:46] Math: So it has to be a console program? [22:46] but maybe I can use JDownloader with X Forward via SSH. Or it need to have a GUI enviroment? [22:47] Math: Can you install a vnc server on the server? Then you can have a gui on your local machine. [22:47] leife, yes I can. but the VNC Server will redirect the GUI installed in my server no?

[22:55] aeon-ltd : it does , and it uses html [22:55] CajunLANMan, s/thanking/changing [22:56] necky: then just take the html refresh out, to remove the redirecting [22:56] I have not changed any default settings. So whatever default is, that's what I'm using. [22:56] heya [22:57] CajunLANMan, i'm suggesting you DO change the default [22:57] aeon-ltd : that works even if it takes 0 secondes to redirects ? [22:57] CajunLANMan: Is anyone else using your internet connection to download files at the moment? [22:57] <|Enraiha> Thanks everyone. [22:57] hi can anyone help me getting connectable in ubuntu [22:57] necky: yeah, parsing a few lines of html, is fractions of a second when tested locally [22:57] yusuo, can you be more specific? what do you want to do? [22:57] yusuo: Connectable? Do you mean internet access with your LAN or WLAN? [22:58] leife, We've got 6 megabit, and most everyone has gone home. I'm also getting mega low pings right now. No one else is on atm. [22:58] i want deluge to be connectable [22:58] the downloads will fly for a minute or to, then slow WAY down [22:58] CajunLANMan: What country are you in? It might even be a problem with your ISP [22:58] Doesn't appear to be on my end. [22:58] USA. I'm on AT&T [22:58] not windows is fully connectable just ubuntu problem [22:58] yusuo, you'd need to open ports on your router/firewall then tell Deluge to use those open ports [22:58] aeon-ltd : thx i 'm gonna try it . [22:59] it's 4 bonded T1's. Usually pretty reliable. [22:59] CajunLANMan: Sorry, can't help there. I don't know anything about US providers. [22:59] have done as i said works fine on windows not on ubuntu [22:59] ZykoticK9, I'll try changing to a mirror. [22:59] ok evolution has segfaulted enough times, i'm using thunderbird. [23:00] CajunLANMan: Try a mirror close to your town. That usually works [23:00] CajunLANMan, if you are also getting slow pings - sounds like slow internet, but maybe mirror would help. good luck. [23:00] aeon-ltd : o and btw , to you know to avoid this redirection with curl or wget ? cause at the end , i will be dl files [23:00] thx all [23:00] necky: no idea, besides the html method [23:00] kermit :) yep, took you about as long as me to switch :) [23:01] kermit, the newest thunderbird (not via synaptic) has the lightning calendar xpi available and google calendars provider (if those things interest you) [23:01] phil_in_london: lol.. i think evolution deleted this guys inbox, but never actually downloaded it [23:02] kermit, check its Local folders, it likes to tuck stuff in there sometimes. [23:02] how do I stop one user account from being able to read files in another user account [23:02] aeon-ltd : ok thx . googling it [23:02] that was another thing I didn't like about it. [23:03] phil_in_london: on IMAP? [23:03] phil_in_london: i'd know if it downloaded them, it would be a lo [23:03] t [23:03] gilaniali, by default home folders should be private. but permission for the "other" group is important for the files/folders you are trying to protect (think about the folder the files are in as well). good luck. [23:04] kermit???? you had imap all along for this adventure??? [23:04] anyone have trouble with their usb mouse under Ubuntu 10.04? [23:04] thunderbird would have been the way to start then. :( [23:04] mine sporadically work [23:04] ZykoticK9: I am running Ubuntu 10.4, and the home folders arent private, how can I change that [23:05] aeon-ltd : no , it doesn't work =( . it just redirects immediately . i don't even see the html redirection page ( but i get it on telnet ). anyway thx for your help ! [23:05] gilaniali, lol - you seem to be right, by home folder allows "other" read/execute - oh man, that's messed up. [23:06] phil_in_london: not all of his stuff was on IMAP, just aparently the last 8 montsh of inbox [23:06] necky: ok, sorry i couldn't solve it [23:06] hi, can you help me figure out what version of the printer driver is compiled on 10.04? Problem: Epson printer D92. It does not work (I state that the problem is not I have it on this PC). How can I understand if the driver is compiled the most up to date? [23:06] phil_in_london: i guess ubutnu pushes evolution because it has a better license? [23:06] kermit, oh yeah, you did mention that. [23:06] aeon-ltd : np =) [23:06] ZykoticK9: it wont let others create or delete stuff, but they can read and copy. Not sure about execute [23:06] how do i get my 'system tray' back ? [23:06] kermit, I think it's because its about the only thing out there that promises exchange server integration [23:06] gilaniali, cd's to /home then running "chmod o-rx $USERNAME" should look after it. [23:07] kermit: did you kill your panel? [23:07] Is it possible to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu so you can run them seprately, and also be able to run said ubuntu partition in windows 7 through a vm? [23:07] Or am I crazy [23:07] aeon-ltd: no, i had another one running from a different system.. i guess that confused it [23:07] Crazy is an acceptable answer. [23:08] gilaniali, you need to put your username where i wrote $USERNAME... just making sure ;) [23:08] Ameth: no, but that would be awesome, plus it would probably only work with ssds given the speed constraints [23:08] ZykoticK9: there has to be an automatic way of doing this, if i add a user, it should make it private automatically [23:08] kermit: what panel are you using atm? [23:08] gilaniali, i agree! [23:08] kermit: restarting it should bring it back [23:09] Ameth: you want to be able to 'native boot' and 'virtual boot' the same instance of an OS? [23:09] is there anywhere that i can download a windows vista recovery cd, but not as a torrent? [23:09] gilaniali, i honest believe it is close to being a "bug" [23:09] aeon-ltd: 'notification area'..ahh.. i restarted that and now it works, thanks [23:09] rjhall, Yeah [23:09] Ameth it could be done but it would be impractical because the windows partition would complain loudly each time its environment changed [23:10] Ameth: you can't do that really, because all the devices are different... even if you could figure out the disk/booting part, it'd be like changing the mouse, keyboard, video, audio cards etc. every time you switched. OSs don't like that too much [23:10] Do I need xorg installed to use remote ssh X11 forwarding? [23:10] wakeupsticky_, you can order them from your PC manufacturer [23:10] jeebus. you mean snail mail? [23:10] Ameth: you can, though, boot the same virtual image from both ununtu and windows. I do that sometimes. [23:10] Ameth: i know you can bring a partition to vm and vm to iso for partition, but a dual live system is too hard and too expensive for users, also its probably faster to port libraries than to emulate a second boot sequence with a fake bios [23:11] wakeupsticky_, Yeah. It's pretty much the only legal method to get them [23:11] you are crazy [23:11] Ameth: so i can boot into windows, start virtualbox and then start a virtual OS... or boot linux, start virtualbox and then start the same virtual OS [23:11] lol but i own windows vista. what a gyp. [23:12] wakeupsticky_, Ditch it in favor of Ubuntu. Fewer headaches like that. [23:12] rjhall, I see. I just wanted the features of ubuntu without runing just from a vm [23:12] i'm trying to... [23:12] need a recovery disc first. [23:12] rjhall, but with the hardware changes it would be impractical [23:12] Ameth: like cygwin, but better you mean? [23:12] wakeupsticky_: sysresccd [23:12] TeslaTony: although a loss of $30-100 oem software [23:12] rjhall, yeah. I want ssh, but nothing on windows can compare to linux. [23:13] gilaniali, OMG this has always been like this in Ubuntu - forum post from 2006 at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279783 and a Bug that never went anywhere (affecting 1 person) from 2007 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/136743 I can hardly believe this... [23:13] Ameth: you could take a look at Portable Ubuntu [23:13] hello [23:13] looks like that's for linux only [23:13] anyone ever put a DVD drive on a 3ware RAID controller [23:13] are they too pure RAID they won't work for optical drives? [23:13] Ameth: i forget the url, but it's somewhere in south america iirc. brings a mini ubuntu into windows. [23:13] is there a tool i can use to cut away 30 pixels from all sides of all images in a folder? [23:13] ZykoticK9: I am pretty sure, theres a way, i'll get back to u if I find something [23:14] wakeupsticky_, You might try getting a program to make a disk image first, which would give you a backup of your current configuration [23:14] thanks rjhall I will look into it [23:14] Diverdude: You might want to look at imagemagick and bash scripts [23:14] Ameth: i tried it.. it was a little too flaky for everyday use though... so i either boot native into windows, then linux in virtualbox (on one machine), or boot native ubuntu and put win7 in virtualbox (on another machine). [23:14] I have a 3ware 8506-12 that I put in my server, when I plug in 2x SATA DVD burners to it, I can't see the drives [23:14] Diverdude, look into some of the CLI program ImageMajick (spelling wrong) - can be scripted to crop stuff FOR SURE. best of luck man. [23:15] I'd try the onboard, but it's full of a RAID 5 that I'm now copying off the data so I can rebuild it on the 8506-12 and move the DVD drives to the onboard, but wondering if anyone had ever seen this [23:16] Giant81: PCI Express S-ATA Card for additional ports. Or maybe you could disable the raid function of the raid controller in the bios [23:16] does anyone know if gparted can make NTFS partitions with a working bootsector? (for winxp) [23:17] leife, I tried going into the 3ware bios and found nothing but options to build and maintain arrays [23:17] I'll keep digging [23:17] hi, how can i configure to which device grub will be installed when upgrading grub-pc? currently it allways uses /dev/sda, but grub should be on /dev/sde… [23:17] maybe the 3ware utility can help [23:17] Giant81: Have you looked in the "normal" bios too?

[23:18] didn't find out until I bought it that it was only SATA1, so I've been running all my HDD's onboard but I guess I'll bite the bullet and move my RAID5 back to the 3ware [23:19] leife, has only 1 plugged in right now, I only have 8 power plugs for SATA, and the second DVD would be drive 9 [23:20] defsum, reask your question that #ubuntu+1 (and hope ?crimsum see's it) [23:20] Giant81: The product page for your hardware raid card says that it supports up to 1.5 GB per second, so unless you have 10 or more drives in the raid it shouldn't be any slower. [23:20] leife, I thought SATA2 was 3GB per second [23:21] Giant81: Yeah, and SATA-1 is 1.5 [23:21] After updates last week I can't load into my wubi install of UNR. After the windows bootloader I get this error for a split second where grub should be loading: To (HD0,0) : NTFS5 NOWUBIDIR [23:21] To (HD0,1) : NTFS5 [23:21] right now I have 4x 500GB SATA2 drives for my RAID [23:21] I figure if I bump them back to the card, it will cut my throughput in half [23:22] Giant: There should be no speed problem with S-ATA 1, because your average disc today (1 TB) does only reach something like 130 MB/s on the far out parts of the disks. [23:22] but I'm doing a copy from that array to a pair of 250gb SATA2 drives in a stripe RAID and it's only doing 25MB/sec [23:22] Giant81: Lots of small files perhaps? [23:22] Like pictures. [23:23] leife, ahh ok, so even though the interface can do 3GB, the physical read write heads of the drive can't [23:23] can anyone help me set up "compiz stand alone"? i tried following this documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompizStandalone but when i select the "compiz" option from gdm(the login window?), gnome still starts up [23:23] Giant81: Yes.

[23:31] but then the 250GB's in the stripe are old, might just be lo cache [23:31] leife, yes, I'm pretty sure it's hardware, it's a dual opteron Tyan server board [23:32] friend has problem after installing apache+php5, it delivers only download, php doesn't parse? any bug involved? how to solve! === magentar_ is now known as magentar [23:32] !repeat | reaby [23:32] reaby: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.
