[00:07] Jantire, #ubuntu-offtopic [00:07] hello, is it possible that for each packet(i don't if it is correct to say so) that leaves my system, it is checked for correct proxy authentication info and appended to it if not found ? [00:08] how do i disable the noexec flag when mounting a cd [00:09] how do i disable the noexec flag when mounting a cd [00:09] can anyone help? [00:10] hello?? [00:11] Hello markboston. [00:11] Need some help? [00:11] So I'm trying to allow users to install software from the Ubuntu Software Center. I'm currently logged into the machine as a domain administrator via likewise-open. When I install software, it asks for the password of the account that was setup when Ubuntu was first installed. I've added my domain account to the sudoers file and I can execute sudo commands just fine. But I can't figure out how to install software without requiring the password [00:11] wow, note to self NEVER do apt pinning! [00:11] hey all I found what seems to be perfect for what I need http://blog.sosedoff.com/2009/01/16/svn-auto-add-and-delete/ <-- the only thing is I run this every 20 mins and get an email from the output (is there a way to only get an email when something changes?) I know the only reason its emailing me is because of the echo's and if I remove the echo's then I only get an email when there is either an error or a change (problem is the em [00:11] ail looks dull without the echo's) thoughts? [00:11] yes Xase [00:11] how do i disable the noexec flag when mounting a cd [00:12] I would imagine it might be listed in the fstab markboston. [00:12] Let me check. [00:12] please anyone can help with ICEauthority problem? [00:12] Hmm [00:12] No it isn't markboston. [00:12] Let me check. [00:13] See if I can find out this information for you. [00:13] i found an old forum post from 2005 saying you can disable it in removable media under preferances window [00:13] markboston, seems like an answer to your query bay be here... [00:13] Oh... [00:13] Lol [00:14] that no longer exsists [00:14] I am reading the same. [00:14] I forgot to mention. I ran the "groups" command in a terminal and I am a member of the following groups: FOO\domain^admins lpadmin BUILTIN\Administrators BUILTIN\Users FOO\domain^users FOO\localadmins FOO\vnc^admin [00:14] markboston, I will check some more on this. [00:15] the issue is im trying to install ubuntu in a vm and i need to install the drivers and its a known issue with this software that you have to disable this for it to work [00:15] Fishscene, those are all AD groups, you need to run the command as root [00:16] ruif13: check this link out and try the solution http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/iceauthority-error-in-ubuntu-8-10-a-681312/#post3743817 [00:16] uhh [00:16] "sudo groups" returns result "root" [00:17] hi, i created some apps with prism on my desktop (gnome), but i want to drag them into my applications shortcuts -- how can i do that? [00:17] Would anyone know how to make it so that my domain account can install software? [00:17] Fishscene, it's not listed in your post [00:18] markboston, are you trying to install the guest drivers for ubuntu under a windows host? [00:18] What's not listed in my post? [00:18] no [00:18] your account is not a part of root [00:18] os x [00:18] Ubuntu under Ubuntu? [00:18] worked fine when i redid my comp ecept video was not workin and now nothing works [00:18] ... [00:18] edgarallanpoe: you have to add the menu items manually, open the .desktop file the prism creates and use that as the command for the menu item [00:18] OS X under Ubuntu or Ubuntu under OSX? [00:18] Would you happen to know how to associate my account with Root? [00:18] Fishscene: use sudo, it's already associated [00:18] I remember seeing a page about Ubuntu mirror status (time since last sync) but I can no longer find it. Does anyone know? [00:19] our wired network uses 802.1x - is there any way to have ubuntu server use this? preferably with /etc/network/interfaces and not #@!%^# Network Mangler [00:19] ok ryokea thanks -- trying [00:19] Fischscene, I agree, use sudo. it will ask the password once and then reuse it for subsequent commands [00:19] does any one know how to fix skype in 10.4 ubuntu [00:19] ikonia: Yes. I can use sudo just fine in a terminal. However, when I try to install software from the Ubuntu Software Center, it asks me for the password of the account that is created when I first installed Ubuntu. [00:19] sparky44: what's wrong with it? [00:20] Fishscene: yes, that's right, is that not your current user ? [00:20] correct [00:20] Fischscene, it's your current account, just like sudo [00:20] Fishscene: put the user you are using in the "admin" group [00:20] ikonia: Any idea how I would do that? I'm logged in as a domain administrator through likewise-open [00:20] hi again ... I restarted and got the following errors: "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority" [00:20] ryokea: also on one of my computers, gnome do automatically picked up the prism apps, but on the other one, gnome do can never find it -- what do i have to do to make sure those get indexed? [00:21] :( [00:21] well wehn i did my comp over ( with no windows) i have the mic working at least i have not doen anyhting with it and now no mic and no vid my brother said it was looking in wrong port but dindt know how to fix it [00:21] Fishscene: I have no idea what likewise-open is, but if you open the users-groups tab on system->administration menu, and add your user to the "admin" group, that should work [00:21] Fishscene, your domain admins account has no special priveleges through likewise [00:22] kaosZERO: Correct. I had to manually edit the sudoers file so that members of the "domain^admins" group on my domain had sudo privileges [00:22] hi ubuntu, i need to connect via vnc or something from someone who is behind a firewall she does not control. any ideas? does ubuntu come with a add client vnc server? [00:23] Fishscene, i'm confused now. and i'm not positive how to achieve what you want other to to login with the root account. [00:23] sparky44: sorry i haven't tried to use a mic or camera with it yet [00:23] It looks like my best bet is to somehow associate members of the group "domain^admins" with the "admin" group, but I in going over some tutorials and such, I'm not seeing how to add an entry in /etc/group to do this. Domain accounts don't show up in the list of local-accounts [00:24] BLZbubba thanks for tryin [00:24] Fishscene, i'm using likewise also. i haven't tested it but you should be able to use domain groups and accounts in /etc/group. you will need to escape the \ with \\ [00:24] sparky44 : check sound pref make sure u select the right ones [00:25] sparky44 input/output === HarryS is now known as Guest53252 [00:25] ok, just a sec while I try to assemble the entry. I'll post it here to run it by you before I commit it, kaosZERO [00:25] Fishscene: use a pastebin for long posts [00:25] Anybody know if banshee will sync playlists with iPod Classic? [00:26] JuJuBee: I think classics are supported, but ipods in general are problematic for syncing [00:26] !ipod [00:26] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [00:26] JuJuBee: check that out [00:26] Hi! I'm trying to install ubuntu here, when i come to the ''who are you'' screen the installation says ''ready when you are'' but, the forwardbutton is dead. What can i do :( [00:26] ikonia: Will do [00:26] DanneD-swe: put your name in [00:26] DanneD-swe: once you fill in the info, the button will activate [00:27] I've filled in all the information... === Guest53252 is now known as HarryS [00:27] DanneD-swe: did you verify the integrity of the cd? [00:27] ikonia: that is what I was afraid of. :( [00:27] I am not a fan of iTunes [00:27] No, how do i do that? [00:28] !verify | DanneD-swe [00:28] DanneD-swe: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:28] ok, so here's the entry I'm going to put in /etc/group: admin:x:123:%FOO\\domain^admins [00:28] in fact I can't currently get it to sync my 80G Classic... I use Media Monkey but it too is a Windoze app [00:28] DanneD-swe: there is probably some option when you first boot the cd too [00:28] :) [00:28] Fishscene, that looks right. it's the same syntax used for /etc/sudoers === ircleuser is now known as Almaz [00:28] how do i upgrade my firefox? (i don't know how to install the .bz2 file that i get when i go to the firefox site...) [00:28] Excellent. I shall try this out :) === Almaz is now known as whiterussian [00:29] hi everybody. I'm looking to a very special software, but I can't find anything by using google. the software should play videos, and while the videos, I should push some keys, and the time (of the video), when I pushed the key, should be recorded. Knows anybody a software for that? (Is it clear, what I mean?) [00:29] edgarallanpoe: let update-manager handle updates for you. Just use your software [00:30] bah. no luck. I'm still not a member of any local groups on the computer itself.

[00:39] not for me, untrusted needs it [00:40] chill im only tryin to help [00:40] wallhacking via wine hardly seems on topic... #winehq and #ubuntu-offtopic are better channels. [00:40] <3 [00:40] ?

[00:57] Loshki, I'm not looking to a video-editor. I'm looking for a software like interact: http://www.mangold-international.com/de/produkte/software/interact.html [00:58] Hello, I got a PC (u 10.04) and a notebook (u 10.04) at home. Got the internet from a third comp (win) via a switch. Net is ok on all computers, but Im not able to see the other comps on my network. I guess its not an IP address issue because i have working net on all of them. Any suggestions how to be able to see the comps on the network? [00:58] Can I edit and remove entries from Grub 2 in windows? [00:58] Loshki, there you have a Video, and you can push "a", if you see something, and "b" if you see something else - and at the end, you get a table, where you can see, when you pushed which button. [00:58] smilodonis: are you able to ping each address from eachother? [00:58] Smilodonis: are they running firewalls? [00:59] sec, i try that [00:59] Hi [00:59] Channel. [00:59] smilodonis: also how are you trying to "connect" with them. [00:59] hello mirctr-user [01:00] Hey, kind of a stupid question- I'm using 10.04 and trying to install a program, how do I access the root account command line? (the one under accessories doesn't seem to be working, although this might just be a problem with the instructions I was given) [01:00] Yes Im able to ping one from other [01:01] Smilodonis: Type sudo before a command that you want to be executed as root. [01:01] springherself: to reach root you usually put a sudo in front of the command [01:01] Springherself: sudo su [01:01] !sudo | Springherself [01:01] Springherself: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:01] Ryen: I just want to see them in "Networking" [01:01] Springherself, where are you going under accessories to do this? (su will help with terminal installs but not thru the gui) [01:01] i dont want to run anything [01:01] smilodonis: how are you attepting to connect [01:01] Springherself: but avoid that if possible. it's preferable to use sudo to issue the commands. actually working AS root, rather than simply executing a command with the perms, isn't usually a good idea, heh [01:02] Snikkerz: Just opened networking in Places [01:02] Smilodonis [01:02] but i see my windows network [01:02] Gotune koyayim :) [01:02] Türk yokmu la türk [01:02] Springherself, then you dont need to be root. Or do you. Ubuntu is set up only to be root when you need to. not by default. [01:02] Amýn cocuklarý! [01:02] So $HOME is short for current home directory but what is shortcut for current working directory (eg,$CWD). [01:02] tripelb sus sikerim senide. [01:02] Does anyone know if I can edit Grub2 in windows? Or update it through windows the remove the extra OS entries? [01:02] Smilodonis: win7 computer? i've been hearing about a lot of wonkiness and fighting to connect to a win7 / vista share (linux in general, not just ubuntu) [01:03] smilodonis: that is smb compliant; you would need samba or something (i think nfs) running to browse the other linux machines. [01:03] Sanctusorium: Not easily, as windows cannot natively read or write to ext4.

Thank you all, I'll look at that [01:03] snikkerz: normally NFS for browsing linux shares [01:03] Springherself, I'm just telling you how it is, maybe there is a standard answer on a page.

[01:09] how* [01:09] Even wubi-Ubuntu does not clean it all up.

[01:10] ubottu: thanks [01:10] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:10] http://privatepaste.com/8752b1da8c I have a set of nat rules (both POST and PRE- routing) that forwards incoming packets (on a specific port) to an external address. This is to avoid a firewall issue. I'd like to setup a whitelist for which ip's can use this connection. Any advice/suggestions? [I obviously cannot REJECT in the nat table ;/ ] [01:11] Stevethepirate: have you tried setting up a rule in your linux firewall? [01:12] all the firewalls i've seen make that relatively easy to configure.... [01:12] so meany peeps [01:12] Um. I'm using iptables. [01:12] Thats the extent of my firewall. [01:12] Stevethepirate: i see. well i'm not sure how to do what you're trying to do, but if you explain the firewall issue you mentioned, i might be able to help with that. [01:13] is there a test channel for ubottu [01:13] What's the Ubuntu command for checking your disk space? [01:13] is there a test channel for ubottu -- #test does not work. [01:13] tripelb: just /query ubottu [01:13] atomicpoet, ds -h [01:13] Stevethepirate: is it a lot of IPs you're trying to whitelist? [01:14] atomicpoet: df -h [01:14] TY aeon-ltd [01:14] shauno: Probably around 20 whitelisted ips, and then a single reject rule to catch the rest. [01:14] tripelb: ' welcome :) === prod__ is now known as prod-Learner [01:16] Stevethepirate: it's a bit ugly, but the simplest way I can think to do it, is to replace each of those input rules with one for each IP (replacing -s 0/0 with -s ad.dr.es.s). the -s 0/0 is the part that's explicitly accepting any IP atm === mIRCTR-User is now known as Leon` [01:17] shauno: Yeah, thats really ugly. [01:18] How do I view processes? I remember there was also a third party app which does this nicer === prod-beginner is now known as prod-Learner [01:18] bonks: htop [01:18] bonks: or "ps waux" [01:19] ah htop it is, i need to remember that [01:19] thanks guys [01:19] bonks: No problem. [01:19] hi everybody, is there anyway to control the volume of individual mp3 files from a playlist within rhythmbox or some similar audio player app? === prod-Learner is now known as prod-Beginner [01:20] paranoidphreak: google "replay gain" [01:20] Its meta-data for a file that allows you to adjust relative gain for that song. [01:21] Stevethepirate: thanks [01:22] np [01:22] how do i convert all this wavpack stuff to mp3 [01:22] "wavpack": Please be more descriptive with your problem. [01:22] wav files [01:23] say it's one codec that can be read by mplayer which i want converted into mp3 [01:23] oracle: why would you make a lossy version of a lossless file :( [01:23] blakkheim, sounds the same? i dont know [01:23] all right, how do i convert it to flac [01:24] You haven't asked a real question yet: Where is the wav data coming from? Where do you want it to go? [01:24] So, I've got a very specific question. How do I execute a command upon connecting to a server via SSH? $ ssh user@host 'screen -raAd' is throwing an error =/ [01:24] question [01:24] stevethepirate, it [01:24] piped [01:25] i guess it can be piped [01:25] no question needed anymore [01:25] I have some mp3 that I need to convert. how would do that? and upload them to youtube [01:25] anyone [01:25] know [01:25] ubottu: !enter > harushimo [01:25] harushimo, please see my private message [01:25] ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm [01:25] unforgiven512: What error? [01:25] sorry [01:25] guys [01:25] let me do it again hold on [01:25] i have a question about ssh via putty [01:26] it seems when i ssh in...it only gives me one chance to run a command at terminal [01:26] Hi all. Anyone know how I can change a user, not root, to use bash as default shell instead of sh? [01:26] "Must be connected to a terminal." [01:26] and then it doesnt go back to let me execute another [01:26] I have a question regarding partitioning and changing the home directory to another drive: http://paste.ubuntu.com/508991/ [01:26] How do I reroute all outgoing connections to a certain IP address through an ssh proxy transparently? I can do the ssh part, but I think I need some IPTables routing? I don't understand IPTables at all. [01:26] BenTheDesigner: The default shell is defined in /etc/passwd per user. [01:26] ok so i'm really familiar with android rooting but not at all familiar with ubuntu. what are the benefits of rooting ubuntu? [01:27] unforgiven512, are you trying ffmpeg for the conversion? [01:27] lol [01:27] ohs, rooting ubuntu? [01:27] ohs, pardon? [01:27] what do you mean? its not like the phones... [01:27] coz_: trying to reconnect to a screen/irssi session on my web host [01:27] lol [01:27] ummmmmmmmmm [01:27] Awesome Stevethepirate, thanks [01:27] unforgiven512, sorry wrong person [01:27] New to ubuntu [01:27] maybe i'm mistaken here [01:27] Hi everyone, I have some mp3 that I need to convert. how would do that? and upload them to youtube [01:27] root doesnt equal cool things like on a droid x [01:27] coz_: it's cool [01:27] hahaha [01:27] ohs, you are [01:27] ohhhh [01:27] ok [01:27] ohs, root just means you can change things in the system [01:28] paranoidphreak, have you used ffmpeg for conversion? [01:28] thats all it means on the android [01:28] just the way people talk i assumed it was similar [01:28] 'the android'? lol [01:28] rooting the android just means you can access to the system account so you can change things and run applications [01:28] ohs, by installing ubuntu, you've done the same thing as you did when you rooted an android. You get everything :) [01:28] lol ok [01:28] leife: Is your /home already on a separate partition? [01:28] but i don't have ubuntu [01:28] not that i don't want it [01:29] ohs, then take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:29] coz_: no...i haven't used it [01:29] Jordan_U: Yes, I forgot to add that. It is currently on /dev/sda6 [01:29] woah woah [01:29] Shishire: Hello. If you using ssh with socks, might I recommend tsocks? [01:29] paranoidphreak, first make sure it is installed sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [01:29] is anyone familiar with putty ssh? [01:29] ohs, this is a support channel only [01:29] ubottu: !man tsocks [01:29] Stevethepirate, tsocks? I'll look it up. Thanks [01:29] i've been interested in it a while. and i want to make a live cd [01:29] /msg nickserv register [01:29] hmm [01:29] Shishire: tsocks - Shell wrapper to simplify the use of the tsocks(8) library to transparently allow an application to use a SOCKS proxy [01:29] ohs, then download one and make it [01:29] when i ssh into my ubuntu system, the terminal doesnt re update to let me do other things [01:29] coz_: ok...... [01:30] i tried with a dvd because that's all i had. and it failed 3 times in a row.... [01:30] paranoidphreak, then cd to the location of the file you want to convert then in terminal ffmpeg -i nameoffile.wavpack to nameof.mp3 or flac or ogg [01:30] but i was told a dvd would work [01:30] ohs, means you didnt burn it right [01:30] ohs, you have to burn the file as a .iso [01:30] figures [01:30] ah [01:30] alright lemme try this again [01:30] paranoidphreak, or whatever file type you want that is supported by ffmpeg this should work ...let me know if it does not [01:31] coz_: ok....thanks [01:31] ohs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [01:31] Stevethepirate, that looks about what I want. Thanks! [01:31] hy, I need some help with my asoundrc :( I would like to passthrough the sound of a micro from an usb soundcard to the output of the internal sound card [01:31] can anyone tell me how i can run x (gnome ) through ssh [01:31] putty [01:31] connected to my ubuntu pc [01:32] ok i hate to do this, cuz i know what it's like to deal with noobs-OH, nvm. thanks, Jordan_U [01:32] dstryr: you could setup up a localvnc [01:32] Shishire: I use tsocks every day. Sure beats having to use cntlm to authenticate to our university's firewall :) [01:32] I have a Cisco Linksys Router w120n, under windows it works fine, but in ubuntu drops connections in both ways wire and wireless. So every time I open a page I have to refresh it so as to load [01:32] i need to secure it [01:32] russjr08, needs to be ssh secure [01:32] /msg NickServ register 1234567890 prod@espire-esports.com [01:32] lol [01:32] Snikkerz: Thanks, all working now (file sharing via network) [01:32] there is no way to just ssh into the server and start x? [01:32] dstryr: to do X over ssh, you need an X-server running locally. [01:32] this is drivin me nuts :D [01:32] yeah, connect to SSH then run vncviewer localhost I believe [01:32] oh [01:33] Stevethepirate, im doing the ssh over a windows computer [01:33] Also you could do X11 Forwarding and run the apps stand alone [01:33] so thats not possible [01:33] Yes. [01:33] I have a Cisco Linksys Router w120n, under windows it works fine, but in ubuntu drops connections in both ways wire and wireless. So every time I open a page I have to refresh it so as to load [01:33] Assuming the computer you are running putty from has X11 [01:33] (X) [01:33] any idea? [01:33] So you don't have a working X on your windows box. [01:33] russjr08, which vnc program do i need to install? [01:33] The easiest solution is to use somethink like x11vnc. [01:33] Stevethepirate, yeah, this looks like I can use it to trick all of my non-socks aware programs into running over my secured proxy. [01:34] Shishire: "tsocks wine ./steam -update cstrike" [01:34] /msg NickServ REGISTER HELP [01:34] :) [01:34] /msg NickServ REGISTER help [01:34] lol [01:34] prod-Bodger, stop that [01:34] Stevethepirate, yup! WoW in my case :) [01:34] I just dont understand it [01:34] prod-Bodger, /join #freenode [01:35] ok, i'll come back if i need help but for now, so long [01:35] Shishire: :) this is moving offtopic, but I wrap tinyproxy connections to ssh SOCKS proxies so I can load balance them with squid :) [01:35] do i have to run all commands in that channel? [01:35] no [01:35] I have a Cisco Linksys Router w120n, under windows it works fine, but in ubuntu drops connections in both ways wire and wireless. So every time I open a page I have to refresh it so as to load. [01:35] prod-Bodger: what channel it is shouldn't make a difference; but they'd be the right place to figure out why it's doing that (hint: no sane client should do that) [01:35] Stevethepirate, now that's load balancing! And yeah, this is getting off topic :| [01:35] dstryr: So the easiest is probably to either install X via cygwin or use x11vnc (over ssh) [01:36] im using Xchat :S [01:36] prod-Bodger, /join #freenode for help [01:36] thank god i made up a random pass [01:36] Our "institution" limits ssh connections to 50k/sec. So 10 connections => 500k/sec ;p [01:36] Stevethepirate, x11vnc said that it only works on an active x [01:36] im running this on a server... [01:36] Oh, so no X? [01:37] x is installed but not running [01:37] Well. If you want to connect to an X-server. It OBVIOUSLY has to be running :p [01:37] maybe ill just run x and then use a simple vnc viewer [01:37] bye all [01:37] thinking of moving to 64-bit. anyone have much experience with the recent 64-bit flash release? a stable pandora is kind of a requirement for me [01:37] Stevethepirate, are you familar with putty at all? [01:38] I'm using it atm. (on my windows laptop) :P [01:38] ok question [01:38] when i ssh into my ubuntu computer [01:38] it lets me act as if im in terminal [01:38] Well you do notice the speed increase with Flash 64bit [01:38] but i only get one command...then it doesnt go back to $dennis@server: [01:38] Correct. [Fewer enters means more Karma for you] [01:38] programs install faster [01:38] so i can enter commands [01:38] I would some suggestions on how would I convert mp3s to mp4 or flv(or any other). I need to upload them to youtube [01:38] !screen | dstryr [01:38] dstryr: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [01:39] Jordan_U: I don't think he means that. [01:39] I have a Cisco Linksys Router w120n, under windows it works fine, but in ubuntu drops connections in both ways wire and wireless. So every time I open a page I have to refresh it so as to load. [01:39] I think he's saying his terminal dies after running a command. [01:39] harushimo, did you try ffmpeg ? [01:39] Quantum_Ion: but I remember the 64-bit linux version was very unstable. guess i'm wondering if it's gotten any more stable? [01:39] seyfarth, I used it recently and it was very stable [01:39] Stevethepirate, is that how you describe iit? dies? It just doesnt revert back so i can enter more commands [01:40] aight i'll give it a shot. [01:40] i am on 64 bit Ubuntu works fine [01:40] harushimo, install lame and ffmpeg, lame will convert your wav files to mp3 [01:40] oh really [01:40] dstryr: Thats what you implying it seems? [01:40] ok [01:40] Stevethepirate, how do i fix it? [01:41] or is that how putty works? === prod-Bodger is now known as bin-juice [01:41] I have a Cisco Linksys Router w120n, under windows it works fine, but in ubuntu drops connections in both ways wire and wireless. So every time I open a page I have to refresh it so as to load. [01:41] dstryr: No, after every command (that terminates or forks) should return you to your shell. [01:41] Quantum_Ion I need to the opposite [01:41] dstryr: does it happen with every command? [01:41] not every command [01:42] just if i try to run an app or something [01:42] Oh. [01:42] I need to convert mp3s, everytime I tried uploading them. Youtube doesn't like it. [01:42] harushimo: ffmpeg is a video convertor, you can convert to whatever format it offers. [01:42] I have a Cisco Linksys Router w120n, under windows it works fine, but in ubuntu drops connections in both ways wire and wireless. So every time I open a page I have to refresh it so as to load. [01:43] dstryr: well, you can't run X applications via putty when your windows machine has _no_ Xserver. [01:43] ok I'll look at ffmpeg [01:43] got my point? [01:43] dstryr: that's normal. if the app's staying in the foreground, it'll have the center stage until it's done. you can either add & to the end of the command to force it to run in the background, or investigate screen / byobu [01:43] harushimo, Read this http://lame.sourceforge.net/links.php [01:43] thank you [01:44] okay [01:44] for running apps remotely, you might want to try a different vnc server. x11vnc is designed to share an existing X session. you don't have an existing session to share, so may do better with something like tightvncserver [01:44] i have tightvncserver installed [01:44] just trying to figure out how to run it [01:44] Read the man pages for it. [01:45] I have a Cisco Linksys Router w120n, under windows it works fine, but in ubuntu drops connections in both ways wire and wireless. So every time I open a page I have to refresh it so as to load.

It'll be working fine one minute and then all of a sudden it starts messing up. Killing pulseaudio several times seems to help sometimes. [01:53] I use the package at, yes at, to start programs at a specific time. But it closes down right after it starts. Somebody know what to do?

[01:57] dstryr: sorry, I use x11vnc.

[02:06] Stevethepirate, vncviewer keeps telling me no loopback [02:06] ok thats fixed [02:07] So this is where Noobs get troubleshooting help? [02:07] level09: that works too, but may be overwritten by future updates [02:07] got it [02:07] great thanks ! [02:07] Stevethepirate, works perfectly [02:07] how can I determine which package owns a file? [02:08] charles___: dpkg -S /path/to/file [02:09] (assuming it's an installed file. if not, I hit packages.ubuntu.com) [02:09] shauno, thanks, yeah it's installed [02:09] does someone here use the package at? and if so, knows why the program that i want to start stops right afterwards? [02:10] dstryr: enjoy. [02:10] In what module can I find the perl lib (as in 'gcc -lperl...)? [02:11] Quick Question, can Ubuntu use the Optical Output from Integrated Sound, and if so how? [02:11] younder: I guess libperl-dev === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [02:12] plitter: which program? It might be due to the program trying to read from stdin. [02:12] muellisoft: thx [02:12] Muelli: tested firefox and mplayer for now [02:13] hey guys. i've got a decent PC (3 ghz intel dual core, geforce 260 GTX), but the compiz cube effect kicks my FPS (judging from the compiz benchmark) down from 60 to the mid 20s. is there anything i can do about this, or is the compiz cube inherently a pretty intense effect? === rusty is now known as Guest83787 [02:13] plitter: well. that won't work of course. === Guest83787 is now known as rusty2 [02:13] Anyone know why XChat doesn't have a lucid-style icon in the panel? [02:13] Muelli: ?? why not? [02:13] Will123456: kick nVidias butt to release a good enough free driver :) [02:14] Muelli: then this guy lied!! http://tips4linux.com/use-at-to-schedule-launching-of-commands-in-linux/ [02:14] plitter: well. because mplayer reads from stdin and firefox needs a connection to X. [02:14] Muelli: i'll get right on it :P [02:14] How do wrap net-snmp in a package so dkpg sees it? [02:14] in the mean time, I've found that turning off the reflection effect boosts FPS by a really decent chunk [02:14] Hu guys. I'm on a netbook with an intel GMA455. I notice that my notifications are weirdly cropped on the bottom and right sides, anyone know what bug is this? any workaround? [02:15] infact disabling reflection on the compiz cube doubles FPS (from 20ish to 40ish in my case) [02:15] Muelli: but i hear the sound start with mplayer? hmmm, do you have a workaround for it? or another program i can use? [02:15] plitter: sure. there are tons. i.e. mpg123. [02:16] plitter: I'm not sure how 'at' handles environment variables. if it doesn't handle them at all, 'DISPLAY' is going to be passed to the program that runs, so they can't attach to the gui [02:16] plitter: hm. maybe mplayer handles not being able to read from stdin. But if you hear sound, why did you say that it "stops"? === boss is now known as Coded1 [02:16] erm, isn't going to be passed, rather [02:17] Muelli: because i just heard the "beginning" and then it stopped [02:17] shauno: well. that might work in case of firefox. But the application might need a connection to d-bus as well. Bottomline: You do not want to run anything GUIy from at. [02:18] plitter: yeah. try mpg123 or in fact, any other thing that doesn't read from stdin while running. [02:18] plitter: you could probably configure mplayer to not read from stdin, but I don't know how to do that. [02:18] Muelli: installing mpg123 now === LinoSP is now known as LinoSP|away [02:19] im trying to mount an iso [02:19] my dmseg log shows [02:19] [76000.757674] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.

[02:21] Where do java file save their settings? [02:22] I speak french, i need some english learning softwre [02:22] Rabbitbunny: that's not a good question. What do you want to achieve? === sm is now known as Guest39430 [02:22] Hi I just got a new laptop and I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on it and I just get a black screen after the lanuage screen comes up do I need to burn the latest version to a disk or something? [02:22] Braber01: hm. you'd be better off trying 10.04 or even 10.10 in a few days. [02:23] Muelli: I attempted to use Travelling Salesman, a OSM derivitive. The setting dialog failled. I assume if I delete the settings it will ask for them again. [02:23] I'm trying to send an encrypted file to a mac user, i'm using ubuntu of course. what would you use? [02:23] Muelli: thank you for the help :-) [02:23] foul_owl: gnupg or truecrypt [02:23] foul_owl: gpg [02:23] is anyone here experienced with gnu screen? [02:23] chu: Yeah. [02:23] how would the mac user decrypt it? can i make it self extracting? [02:23] foul_owl: gpg and truecrypt both have mac versions [02:24] easy to install for the novice user? [02:24] Rabbitbunny: hm. well. You could either look at the source or do smth like "strace -eopen -f travellingsalesman" or the like to see what files the program opens. [02:24] analog of the windows installer perhaps? [02:24] foul_owl: http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/ [02:24] foul_owl: yes. [02:24] ok, awesome [02:24] ive never ever used mac, so i have no idea [02:24] thanks for the help! [02:24] Rabbitbunny: So, I've changed what the term variable is (xterm-color), but to actually get this to work I have to execute :source ~/.screenrc each time I start a session, any idea? [02:24] foul_owl: but sending your key/password in cleartext.. kind of defeats the purpose [02:24] foul_owl: non of us feel safe truecrypt rocks [02:25] what about ardour? does that help? [02:25] chu: Nope. [02:26] I cant uninstall any packages ... why? [02:26] !details | area51pilot [02:26] area51pilot: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." === Guest39430 is now known as smsm [02:29] Well I amm running 10.10 ( I know, im in that room too), but it seems I cant uninstall any packages. It prompts me to repair but bounces back to the same dialog. It started with GIMP disappearing for some reason. I tried to install again but received the stated error. It also cant resolve dependancies. First time I have seen all this [02:29] area51pilot, and did you uninstall from synaptic yet? [02:30] area51pilot: hm. sounds weird. can you open a terminal (alt+f2, gnome-terminal) and type "sudo apt-get update" and then pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get upgrade"? [02:30] yes [02:30] hey all how can i connect headphone and speaker at the same time ? I got realtek HD audio [02:30] area51pilot: freash install neede3d [02:31] update or upgrade [02:31] SeRveR01: plug your headphones into your speakers [02:31] area51pilot: first update then pastebin upgrade [02:31] ok [02:31] update only [02:31] SeRVeR01: Check gmix. I use that for easy audio management. [02:32] Stevethepirate ok thanks i'll chcek for it [02:34] when i do "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" it gives me: "sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found" === sandyd_ is now known as sandyd [02:34] azlon: it isnt done by init scripts anymore [02:34] sudo service samba restart [02:35] Wait, that might be wrong. :< [02:35] azlon no script answer [02:35] Is there a good way to trace the network connections/file openings of a single app? I'm looking for some kind of wrapper which replaces fopen, socket, and connect, dumps the connection data to a file, and then passes them through. [02:35] Stevethepirate, sorry xD but i can't fine that gmix [02:35] hrmm [02:35] Stevethepirate, find * [02:35] Shishire: sounds like strace and tsocks. [02:35] Stevethepirate: didnt work... "unrecognized service" [02:35] Shishire: probably strace only. [02:36] Muelli, aha! Awesome! [02:36] azlon: sudo service smb restart [02:36] SeRVeR01: hmmm heh, I can't recall then. It's definately aliased as "gmix" on my 10.04 laptop :/ [02:36] Stevethepirate: got it... had to use service smbd restart [02:36] Hehk. [02:36] not sure when it changed to smbd instead of just smb [02:36] I don't know most of the utils names, but I know what functions I wanna invoke :P Self-taught [02:36] area51pilot, do you know how to pastebin that readout? [02:36] Shishire: You sound like you want to break the internet. [02:36] Muelli: found another way:D making a bashscript with sleep function!!:D [02:37] Muelli: just finished and pasted [02:37] Shishire: strace or tcpdump. [02:37] Stevethepirate, No he just wants to put the internet to sleep [02:37] Muelli: what i do when i should have been sleeping so i can wake up at a certain time:P [02:37] area51pilot: great :) What's the URL? [02:37] area51pilot, we need that link to see the pastebin [02:37] coz_: just finished and pasted [02:37] Stevethepirate, nah, just dump which connections my WoW makes so I know everything I need to proxy [02:37] plitter: yeah. next time tell us what you want to achieve :-) [02:37] azlon try smbd! [02:38] area51pilot, cool what is the link? [02:38] Sometimes your body just sleeps when it wants too [02:38] Muelli: thought it was implied:P [02:38] serit: good call, keep up the good work [02:38] coz__: duh...long day at the office [02:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/509167/ [02:38] hi, im on ubuntu 10.04, im trying to configure my fstab to automount my FAT32 data partition, im getting a "Can't find a valid FAT filesystem" when trying to mount.

But most of the times it's not :-) [02:38] Thats what I forward so my wow server is accessible behind NAT. [02:38] Muelli: is there a way to say sleep until some time? [02:38] I had to build ffmpeg from source code in order to get the latest and greatest attributes [02:39] azlon hehe [02:39] area51pilot, is synaptic package manager opened? [02:39] area51pilot: close down synaptic [02:39] :) [02:39] I work on about 5 systems at any one time most of the day ... brain dead when it comes to home time ... :P [02:39] Stevethepirate, yeah, but I'm transient, so I need to know the IPs of the servers I connect to during the auth process, so that I can reroute connections to those servers [02:39] Closed [02:39] Yeah, well you authenticate to the realm server. [02:39] do I need to redo update? [02:39] area51pilot, once you close synaptic redo the pasteibn [02:39] area51pilot: yup [02:39] k [02:39] :P [02:39] plitter: not that I am aware of. Well. Not easily. You could use smth like Python though. Or write something in bash that get's the minutes until your target time. [02:39] standby [02:40] sandyd, i will leave you to it...too many cooks :) [02:40] And that will pass the data of the realm to your pc. [02:40] I know a little bit of Java, Android, C, C++ and Qt programming I use the NetBeans IDE to program [02:40] coz_: lol :D [02:40] hi everybody! [02:40] Just tsocks wine $wowpath/WoW.exe [02:40] Stevethepirate: strace will do what you want, I guess :-) === katita is now known as Barna1 [02:41] !hi | bluespotmouse [02:41] hmpf [02:41] Muelli: I don't want anything, I'm trying to assist Shishire [02:41] Muelli: was thinking about that... k will write something:) [02:41] eh. sorry Stevethepirate -.- [02:41] can someone do me the favor of trying to enter userstyles.org [02:41] what's faster -- ext4 to NTFS, or ext4 to FAT32 (file transfer) [02:42] plitter: might actually be easy using "date". Get the number of seconds for "now" and then the number of seconds for your target time. Then just substract them. [02:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/509176/ [02:42] area51pilot: sudo apt-get upgrade [02:42] If I can't compile source code I will just use the Ubuntu package no since banging your head against the wall trying to figure out why it won't compile [02:42] hi I have used fsdisk and dd to copy the partition table & data to a new disk... I then used dd to copy the first 512 bytes of /dev/sda to /dev/sdb ... why doesn't the new disk boot? I only get a GRUB prompt! [02:42] Sterist: Probably time both? :) [02:42] Muelli: again? [02:43] Muelli: ooh thanks:) [02:43] area51pilot: you did update. not upgrade. [02:43] I did upgrade first [02:43] area51pilot: it didnt work the first time, because you didnt run update [02:43] i constantly get a Application error (Apache) error when trying to enter userstyles.org. what is that message? [02:43] Muelli: Only posted update [02:43] what is the best perl IDE? [02:43] area51pilot: sudo apt-get upgrade [02:43] area51pilot: you have to post the output of upgrade too [02:43] then update [02:43] right [02:43] lol I never really use perl [02:44] area51pilot, I use "apt-get dist-upgrade" [02:44] OK: excuse ... crawling out of MS network mode ... :P [02:44] I am trying to use 'talk' or something similar.. finally got my 14 yo son to use an Ubuntu box... he's like it.. I want to be able to send him a text message, without using an outside service like google or irssi .. just want something that will pop up on his screen with messages.. [02:44] I need a beer [02:44] I ssh'd to his box and installed 'talk' on that box too [02:44] Ditto. [02:44] How do I re-run the phpmyadmin configuration? [02:44] bluespotmouse: means somethings going wrong with webserver [02:44] ndugan make sure the new disk's partition(s) are checked as "bootable" [02:45] ....running upgrade [02:45] dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin [02:45] azlon hey upgrade to what? [02:45] ndugan that property might not be handled by either of those tools in those operations === Zeike is now known as brandonj [02:45] sandyd: thanks [02:45] serit: sorry, i was in my VM, what is the question? [02:45] azlon hey upgrade to what? [02:46] serit: i cant honestly say i have any idea what you are talking about... [02:46] serit: i had the question about samba, are you talking about upgrading samba? [02:46] brb in two seconds. workstations overheating [02:46] Sterist, the same partition on both disks are marked bootable.. (i.e. the first) [02:47] azlon yeah I thought I lost that! [02:47] serit: lost what? [02:47] azlon never mind! [02:48] serit: are you asking if i upgraded samba? === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [02:48] azlon: no [02:48] ok... im going... erm... over here now... [02:48] ....still working :P [02:49] area51pilot: there you go. it seems to work :) [02:49] area51pilot: does it download and install stuff? [02:49] while I am waiting ... is there a good Apache forum anywhere [02:49] area51pilot: apachelounge [02:49] #httpd [02:49] Muelli: It is doing the upgrade now [02:49] can i have a machine in 2 different workgroups? [02:49] How do I re-run the phpmyadmin configuration? [02:50] area51pilot: so your problem seems to be cured :) [02:50] sandyd: location??? IRC? [02:50] area51pilot: probably google ;-0 [02:50] area51pilot, #httpd ? [02:50] Muelli: I hope so [02:50] azlon: only if tnere in the same domain [02:50] hi === zipp0 is now known as zipp0|away [02:51] anyone? know how to use 'talk' applet? === shai_ is now known as Guest71892 [02:51] serit: hrmm... you mean like within the same physical switch/router?

Would love to set up an Apache and mail server ... dump Bills garbage... :-D [02:51] area51pilot: http://www.apachelounge.com/ [02:51] serit: like a collision domain, or like a network domain? because i'm not using domains... [02:52] serit: maybe i dont understand what you mean... [02:52] sandyd: awesome! thx! [02:52] area51pilot: its actually quite easy, esp with the invention of webmin [02:52] area51pilot: you can do it.. [02:52] azlon: only if tnere in the same network domain [02:52] area51pilot: I have apache running and email server with exim4.. it works well [02:53] OMG its jesus [02:53] bonez2046: sounds great ... I want to migrate away from being dependant on Exchange and Server [02:53] bonez2046: I have sendmail/postfx, but I think thats because im simply too lazy.... [02:53] ... === jesus is now known as Guest95963 [02:53] area51pilot: there are many solutions.. [02:53] serit: maybe you have a better idea. i am creating a VM for my friend. i already setup samba so he can access some files on my server (this machine), but i dont want him to be able to see the other machines on my network... is this possible? should i just create a vlan on my switch? === Guest95963 is now known as jesuslinux [02:53] sandyd: whichever gets the job done. [02:53] looking for all the learning tools and tips I can get [02:53] area51pilot: I run mailman as well, with several mailing lists.. and it works well too === TimW is now known as TimW2 [02:54] bonez2046: I know, its great. I just know some are better than others and my FREE :) time is sometimes limited [02:54] takes time but worth the effort [02:54] bonez2046: souns almost exactly like what I need [02:55] bonez2046, I have installed apache2, but I screwed up the configuration. How do I re-run the configuration part of the apache or phpmyadmin install prog? [02:55] Mail< Web, File Server [02:55] jsut imagine.. the help, the support here is free, .. no crappy music, no 25 or 50 bucks a call to redmond... [02:55] azlon: if the other machinne only has smb acess [02:55] detrix: dpkg-reconfigure it [02:55] bonez2046: isnt it great! I love it [02:55] detrix: I am no pro but I'd think if you uninstalled or just purged the config files, apache would rebuild those [02:56] detrix: sandy's suggestion is better [02:56] and if one has any technical aptitude, it is a great alternative ! Take the "Road Not Taken"! :) [02:56] aptitude [02:56] :P [02:56] How to pick what in chrome favorits / shortcut page ? [02:57] area51pilot: im probably the only person here that cant use it...

I don't think I have it installed [02:58] azlon: smb only allows access to other files not systems [02:58] detrix: keep asking lots of questions [02:58] azlon: youll want to use ssh [02:58] serit: correct... i got the samba part figured out... [02:59] serit: is there any way to give him access to those folders and not let him see the other machines on the network? [02:59] sandyd: well I dont have all that extra stuff on my laptop here, but I would like to implement some technology alternatives at work. [02:59] serit: i created an XP VM for him, but i was wondering if there was a way to put him in his own workgroup? [02:59] azlon: smb only allows access to other files not systems!!!! [02:59] sandyd: fortunately I have a fairly quick learning curve [02:59] serit: im not talking about smb any more! this is just a ubuntu question... [03:00] serit... never mind, ill just make sure all the other machines are locked down [03:00] something i should do anyway [03:00] Muelli: Thanks for the tip earlier, that generated lots of output. [03:00] I am still having issues ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/509182/ [03:01] cant install or uninstall certain packages [03:01] Rabbitbunny: yeah. you need to read the man page and use grep to filter it to your needs ;-) [03:01] where's the party launch? [03:01] azlon: well ok never mind [03:01] area51pilot: hm? What's the error? I can't see any. [03:01] Muelli: pfft, scite and ctrl+F, worked great.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:03] !sensors | seth_ [03:03] seth_: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [03:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/509187/ [03:03] i have installed lm sensors [03:03] Nite. [03:03] i am keep getting this kind of errors in /var/log/syslog. Because of this i can't unmount my external HDD and do an fsck on it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/509186/ [03:03] they dont seem to work for me [03:04] hm area51pilot. What does "apt-cache policy gimp libpoppler-glib4" say? [03:04] !details | seth_ [03:04] seth_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:04] Ubuntu 10.04 64bit Server wont boot anymore. I updated it last week, and decided to restart just for good measure and now I get a fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 message during the book and it looks like its checking my boot drive (SDA1) for errors, however it never gets anywhere [03:05] ok then i am haveing problems with my fans on my laptop not spinning ass they should ubuntu release canadate 10.10 can i paste what i got from lm- sensors into the chanel? [03:05] I booted from a livecd and updated it after chrooting in, and even ran touch /forcefsck to no avail [03:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/509188/ [03:05] COuld I get some help with the python module "cmd" [03:05] Caleb1134: hm. you can manually fsck from your livecd. [03:06] I ran fsck but it think it gave some error or something [03:06] whats the command for it? [03:06] hey guys, not really an emacs question per se, but I guess it concerns emacs... Last night I was asking about keeping emacs' syntax highlighting intact when run with screen... I've worked out *how* to fix it, but I still need to manually run :source ~/.screenrc each time a screen session starts... Does anyone know of this? [03:06] area51pilot: well. you are using some PPA. That's bad. Remove that. [03:06] ? [03:06] Caleb1134, run man fsck it will tell you [03:06] ok [03:06] any specific one? [03:06] area51pilot: to get gimp quickly up and running, do apt-get install gimp=2.6.10-1ubuntu3 [03:06] from the repositories? [03:06] area51pilot: something "getdeb". [03:07] ok [03:07] anyone? please? [03:07] area51pilot: you should know whether you modified the repositories or not. Well. You obviously did ;-) And now your package management broke. Lesson learnt: Don't touch stuff if you're being asked for root credentials unless you know what you're doing. [03:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/509190/ [03:08] area51pilot: yeah. you're screwed. Remove the getdeb thingy, then do apt-get update and you're good. [03:08] Muelli: Like I said earlier, I'm learning, this way I learn more and more the more I break [03:08] cool [03:08] I already asked this in #samba, but nobody is around it seems. I have Samba set up, sharing a directory with guest permission. The box is in DMZ mode with the router. When I run "net view \\domainname\" externally, I get the error "53", but when I run it locally, I can see the shares and mount it fine. What's going on? [03:09] area51pilot: sure :) But next time better remove your own modifications to the package management if it doesn't work before asking :o) [03:09] ok heres what i get when i detect sensors http://paste.ubuntu.com/509193/ [03:09] I used to be able to drag windows between workspaces way back when. what happened to that? [03:09] Hu guys. I'm on a netbook with an intel GMA455. I notice that my notifications are weirdly cropped on the bottom and right sides, anyone know what bug is this? any workaround? [03:09] BluShift>> permissions? [03:10] Fezzler: Like I said, it works 100% locally. [03:10] Muelli: I I did not know but know I do ... thanks for the info and being patient [03:10] I will extend the same courtesy [03:11] im probobly just doing this wrong :( [03:11] how long does it normally take to install ubuntu on a usb? it's taking for ever :( [03:11] Any other ideas? [03:11] jared_: try asking people in here :) [03:12] seyfarth, yeah they changed it you gotta enable it i think I forget how [03:12] anyone have any ideas on my fans not working? heres my lm sensors detect log http://paste.ubuntu.com/509193/ [03:12] Quantum_Ion the livecd is still starting.... Ill let you know how it goes though [03:13] Caleb1134, Did you find out what fsck was for ? [03:13] scott_ino: thanks. looks like it's something in the compiz settings manager [03:13] BluShift>> nmbd correctly installed? [03:13] Muelli: Thank you again ... I just installed GIMP through synaptic with no issues. :) I appreciate the information! [03:14] Caleb1134, fsck - check and repair a Linux file system [03:14] area51pilot: glad I could help :) [03:14] seyfarth, yeah but i can't seem to find it, I remember a bug was actually filed on it a while back but that as over a year ago [03:14] I knew thats what it was [03:14] but it wouldnt run for some reason [03:14] sudo make-ubuntu-install-faster [03:14] Fezzler: Should be when installed via "apt-get install sambafs" and "samba" [03:14] Right? [03:15] can anyone help me with a nvidia video card issue? [03:15] BluShift>> chack? [03:15] BluShift>> Check? [03:15] chris_ what's happening? [03:15] seyfarth, "Edge flipping" [03:15] i it [03:16] Fezzler: One second. [03:16] i did the latest ubuntu update and my nvidia drivers are now failing to load [03:16] and my prob: I cannot get my desktop running ubuntu to connect to my laptop running ubuntu to connect over an ethernet cable [03:16] ackkk. I hate this wether. I think I need new coolant for my workstation..... [03:16] jared_:you need a crossover ethernet cable [03:17] Quantum_Ion I got it to run in the livecd and it said its clean [03:17] Fezzler: What package contains nmbd? [03:17] BluShift>> Run the command nmblookup -B SERVER `*' [03:17] sandyd_, I don't understand why they don't just make actual ethernet adapters auto negotiating ;) [03:17] BluShift: go to packages.ubuntu.com [03:17] scott_ino: they do [03:17] BluShift>> You should get the PC's IP address back. If you do not, then the client software on the PC isn't installed correctly, [03:17] Caleb1134, a clean filesystem okay [03:18] yes, so i have no idea why it's happening === sandyd_ is now known as sandyd [03:18] but then why does it hang there? [03:18] Caleb1134, hang what ??? [03:18] Muelli, oh very nice.. that's handy, thought only switches were as such [03:18] The system hangs at that screen when trying to boot [03:18] Fezzler: I'm on Windows atm. Would you like to do so for me? The domain name is blushift.no-ip.org. [03:18] and chris, search for the proprietary drivers and make sure you are using the reccomended one [03:18] it just displays that its running fsck but then never finishes booting [03:19] Caleb1134: nomodeset comes to mind. you sure its finished running fsck [03:19] system>administration>hardware drivers [03:19] BluShift>> no cando [03:19] Caleb1134: nvm. you shouldnt need nomodeset if you were able to boot before... [03:19] Fezzler: Why? [03:19] Im not sure if its finished, it says that its clean and everything [03:19] jared: i tried that before and it didnt work. i think i might have to compile a custom kernel. that is where the problem may be [03:19] BluShift>> headed to work [03:19] Oh. [03:19] scott_ino: I just figured it out. You install the compiz settings manager, enable the desktop wall, and enable edge flipping in a few places. thanks for your help [03:20] And yea, it could boot just fine before, but after the restart this started [03:20] Caleb1134: then its fine [03:20] Caleb1134, hard to tell why t would hang [03:20] most likely. sounds like it isn't loading the driver correctly [03:20] Can somebody run "nmbdlookup -B blushift.no-ip.org" and post the output?? [03:20] I tried googling it and tried all the suggestions I could find [03:20] Caleb1134: what video drivers you using [03:20] none, its a server install [03:20] so just the basic I guess [03:20] seyfarth, i knew it was in there somewhere [03:20] hi... can't find any rules... mey I just shout my question out there? [03:20] yep [03:20] I dont have any x servers or anything, just terminal [03:21] Anybody? [03:21] nisulid, yep! [03:21] !anybody [03:21] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:21] Any other ideas Quantum_Ion or sandyd [03:21] how do i get a list of bot commands for a given channel [03:21] scott_ino, IDK ask the bot [03:22] Caleb1134: try setting a lower runlevel [03:22] I have no idea how to do that [03:22] ok... i have a hp mini with windows xp that wont't boot (blue screen of death, keeps reinitializing). I have created a ubuntu flash drive and i am booting from it. I wanted to intall it on HD, but Gparted can't partiotion my HD... any suggestion? [03:22] how can i force my cpu fan to start [03:22] nisulid, Do you want to dual boot? [03:23] edbian, yes [03:23] edbian, but actually xp won't boot anyway [03:23] Caleb1134: I believe you can set kernel flags for that, but I don't know how to, which was why I didnt say this ealier [03:23] nisulid, You can't partition the drive (I am assuming) because the partition has errors on it. You need to boot some sort of Windows recovery and use chkdsk command. Not sure if that's possible with a netbook. [03:23] haha ok. Well recovery mode also doesnt boot [03:23] edbian, so my point would be not erase the data that is there [03:23] Caleb1134, what kind of pc do you have ? [03:23] nisulid, Yeah, that's gonna be hard [03:24] nisulid, Do you have a recovery partition or anything? [03:24] what's the size of a maximized terminal? height and width pls [03:24] uLinux, The size of your screen [03:24] Just a generic Lenovo. Dual core AMD [03:24] scott_ino: ubottu lives at ubottu.com, you can find some nice info there .. eg http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [03:24] edbian: no because i use 2 panels [03:24] Never had a problem running any Ubuntus on it before [03:24] edbian, i have seen that suggestion in some forums... but i was expecting some other solution was possible [03:24] shauno, thanks [03:25] edbian, no i dont [03:25] uLinux, 2 monitors you mean? Maximizing any apps makes it fill the screen. [03:25] 10.10 doesn't have aptituded anymore ... is there another way of searching for packages via cli? I was using 'aptitude search foobar'... [03:25] hi, anyone from europe willing to help me in testing dcc, please msg me [03:25] It was a desktop PC before it was a server, so it ran desktop editions fine [03:25] edbian: no im not saying fullscreen [03:25] :p [03:25] nisulid, No. The Linux community does not have much vested interest in creating an NTFS checker. [03:25] edbian, hd is as it came with the mini [03:25] seth, it depends on why it isn't starting. If the fan is broken you have to replace it. if the fan is not receiving power, then it may be the mother board or the fan driver [03:25] uLinux, Then explain please :) [03:26] edbian: if you maximize the terminal it won't use the whole screen [03:26] because i have bottom and top panels [03:26] edbian, yes, i figured... tried fsck with no success [03:26] uLinux, Then it's the whole screen minus the size of those panels? Why do you need to know how big it is in pixels anyway? [03:26] edbian: ill find out [03:26] nisulid, Sorry! :( [03:27] edbian: thats the point i need to know for a script [03:27] uLinux, There are ways to tell how big a window is I think. xdotool perhaps? [03:27] dunno [03:27] dont give up on me Quantum_Ion [03:28] uLinux, download and look at xdotool [03:28] Caleb1134, lol [03:28] edbian, wireless should work even when booting from the flash drive? [03:28] nisulid, Using Ubuntu yeah. [03:28] Ok, if I really cant get this back online, and I reinstall Ubuntu how can I mount my existing RAID 5 on it? [03:28] Because I REALLY dont want to lost that [03:28] nisulid, Booting from a USB drive should be (in theory) no different from booting from a hdd [03:29] Caleb1134, There are so many different scenario's why Ubuntu Linux may or may not boot on your system [03:29] edbian, couldn't install the drives... ubuntu 10.04. Ethernet ok. [03:29] Caleb1134, If you turn the raid off (I'm assuming it doesn't work in some way) you can boot a live CD and do anything you want. [03:29] Caleb1134, How old is your desktop PC ? [03:30] Its a couple years old, like maybe 2007. It was a Vista system when I got it [03:30] when you boot from a liveCD (on any media) you are running the installation from that media. So it's slower, but you still have access to the full kernel [03:30] Caleb1134, Quantum_Ion I'll shut up i you're helping him. [03:30] edbian, everyone is helping him not just me alone [03:30] No no, I dont mind a crowd [03:30] Quantum_Ion, Caleb1134 o good :) [03:31] if theirs anything I learned from House its that differential diagnosis is a good thing [03:31] Hi guys. I get random lag when SSHing to any host. random delays of 2-10 seconds where I can do nothing. Doesn't happen on windows with putty. [03:31] I've seen the issue in the forums but no one has a solution for it. Any ideas? [03:31] brainstorm sessions are (almost) always better with more brains :) [03:31] this is a 2004 pc, and i had problems booting from the hd, but after Tik helped me find the /etc/default/grub file, and update a line there, save the file, and update-grub, and set the bios to boot that drive, Ubuntu boots great... [03:31] hello [03:31] jared_: ten million zombies can't be wrong [03:31] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Ok, I booted it again and have the error. Want it? [03:32] Caleb1134, If we're going by house logic you should probably hang upside down and set the computer on fire. [03:32] Caleb1134, pastbin it [03:32] brb [03:32] edbian, lol [03:32] Geez - running a simple flash music player (pandora) and 60% of my cpu is consistently being used. [03:32] Welcome to flash. [03:32] seyfarth, flash is a lousy piece of garbage [03:33] I have to say Ubuntu boots 50% faster, actually timed it, versus booting to windows [03:33] edbian, lol [03:33] Oh I know, I just wanted to vent a bit :D [03:33] edbian, thanks anyway... [03:33] Eighteens, It won't slow down either [03:33] running latest stable ubuntu, is there any way to get 3D working at a decent speed with an intel GM965 graphics card? [03:33] edbian: btw i want to know the geometry not pixels [03:33] and I bet ebdian didnt use the words he/she REALLY wanted to use XD [03:33] nisulid, yeah. Good luck! Call the laptop maker, get tech support. They might have an answer for you (it might delete all your data) [03:33] uLinux, ? That's the same thing [03:33] the screensavers seem to be lagging in speed [03:33] oh i love Ubuntu, i mean, i even stopped paying attention to my girlfriend, She's so jealous [03:34] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Ok, im back. Its really short Ill just paste it here [03:34] jared_, :P [03:34] he [03:34] Eighteens, I had the same problem! Unfortunately we don't support that here. Only Ubuntu [03:34] edbian: you say it's the same of resolution [03:34] but then again, staring at xp since 2004, anything would be a improvement... [03:34] Caleb1134, paste it on one line with ; to show new lines [03:34] edbian, you know when you are looking at flash porno movie it downloads to the /tmp directory in Linux and you can wait until its downloaded and use the mv command to move the FLASHXX file to Flashpornomovie.flv and use vlc player to look at it [03:34] uLinux, Yeah? What do you mean by geometry [03:34] edbian lol, hehe :) [03:35] Quantum_Ion, Thanks, that's inappropraite [03:35] highly [03:35] edbian, lol [03:35] edbian: gnome terminal default size is 80x24 [03:35] the only problem i have with ubuntu, is after the update, it took my sound icon away, but i still have sound, so i don't care too much [03:35] thats the geometry [03:35] Hey guys, anyone experienced with gnu screen? (I've asked in the #screen channel, but don't think anyone is at their keyboard). [03:35] edbian and Quantum_Ion: It says "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2" next line "/dev/sda1: 94924/3514368 files (0.2% non-contigues) 650793/14043648 blocks" === jared_ is now known as SciGuy [03:35] edbian, yep, that's what i was trying to avoid. i have backed it up, but not the way i wanted. Thanks [03:35] uLinux, What are the units? [03:36] Caleb1134, That means "I finished checking /dev/sda1 and it's fine" [03:36] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Thats all it says on my screen, and theres just a blinking curson under it [03:36] nisulid, Yep, sorry [03:36] edbian and Quantum_Ion: but it wont finish booting [03:36] edbian: doesnt tell [03:36] Caleb1134, It's waiting on something else. [03:36] edbian: But what? and how do I make it go [03:36] uLinux, I don't know what those units are. They don't sound like pixels. I think xdotool can set the size of the window to whatever you want. [03:36] Caleb1134, Do you have any SSD or USB hard drives plugged in ? [03:37] Caleb1134, I don't know. Perhaps you should wait. ;) [03:37] Caleb1134, How long have you been waiting so far? [03:37] can somboddy telnet to my computer and make ubuntu donwload faster to my usb? [03:37] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Nope. Just my IDE boot drive, and 3 HDDs hooked up to a RAID card [03:37] or ssh? one or the other? [03:37] well ive waited an hour yesterday [03:37] can anyone recommend a usb/midi interface that's plug'n'play in ubuntu? [03:37] I'm getting impatent [03:37] Caleb1134, I'm not sure what it's stuck on. [03:37] Caleb1134, maybe its scanning all 3 harddrives [03:38] Braber01, now how would you expect someone to do that? [03:38] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Me either. But it doesnt show the others, thats verbatim for what I see on my screen. [03:38] Windows 7 had a pretty snazzy trick where you can press a key combination and a window will fill one side of the screen. any way I can emulate this with free software? [03:38] unlss that was sarcasm [03:38] edbian and Quantum_Ion: I ever switched consoles and theyre all empty [03:38] Hi, How do you guys use LaTex in ubuntu? [03:38] Ken8521: I havve no idea, [03:39] Genieliu: it's spelled LaTeX [03:39] Braber01, well, someone SSHing into your box, is not going to make Ubunt download faster [03:39] it would probably actually make it go faster [03:39] Quantum_Ion, Caleb1134 When it's scanning a drive it gives output. Usually Ubuntu can't boot because of bad hardware. That can be as simple as a HDD has errors on it or as complicated as your processor is cracked in half. Try booting with various hardware things not connected [03:39] *slower [03:39] I have used fsdisk and dd to mirror a HDD onto another (I also copied the first 512 bytes over)... but when I replace the orginal drive with the new one ... at boot I only get a 'GRUB' printed on the screen ... it doesn't boot... doesn't listen to the keyboard :( what am I doing wrong.. I have tried doing the command 'grub-install /dev/sdb' too. [03:39] Genieliu: There are a few editors available... Emacs, Vim, LyX, gEdit, Geany etc can all do LaTeX processing. [03:39] I'm having a major issue with my sound on 10.04 LTS. I have 2 video cards (9400, 8400, for reference). On the 9400, I have a dual-head X server running on vts7 with kdm. On the 8400, I have an X server running Mythtv with a specific user (never logs in anywhere else). I only have a single sound card. The two X servers are supposed to share the same pulse audio server. I cannot get myth to access the sound card at the same time that [03:39] Braber01: sorry,i make a mistake... [03:39] Caleb1134, like edbian said it sounds like a hardware issue dude [03:39] Genieliu, I write up my latex file using gedit. Then I compile it using the pdflatex command then I view the pdf using evince. There is also kile [03:40] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Ill try. But the only thing I can even remove is the RAID card [03:40] Hi all [03:40] Genieliu: no problem I'm not really here to be a grammer natzi [03:40] edbian, use nano [03:40] there is nothing else. Not even a keyboard until now [03:40] hi [03:40] Anyone know where the Java SE 6 base class folder is in ubuntu linux? [03:40] how do I figure out my WIFI mac address? [03:40] Genieliu: you might want to take a look at the packages tex-live-base [03:40] hi gents [03:40] Quantum_Ion, nano is nice :) [03:40] yes nano [03:40] Caleb1134, like edbian said HARDWARE ISSUE BIG TIME [03:41] editor wars ftw [03:41] ShapeShifter499: open a terminal and type this command ifconfig [03:41] not really' [03:41] ShapeShifter499, ip addr [03:41] neil_d, does anything boot from the grub menus? [03:41] chu: after install vim, do i need to install anything else so i can use the LaTeX command? [03:41] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Ok well if its not the raid card then its back to being Ubuntu. Because everything else boots and there is nothing else to remove. brb let me pull it [03:41] Ken8521: no grub menus [03:41] enav: only seems to give eth0 and eth1 [03:41] grub2 ??? [03:41] neil_d, ok, now we're talking about the disk that is a "copy" right? [03:41] Caleb1134, I bet you $10 if you disconnect all hdd and boot a live CD it will boot. [03:42] enav: I want wlan0 or 1 [03:42] the livecds run fine [03:42] ShapeShifter499, ifconfig -a [03:42] ? [03:42] Ken8521: yes... it has the same UUID as the orginal [03:42] ShapeShifter499: that mean your wifi card is not connected [03:42] edbian: Thank you for your advice [03:42] Genieliu: Don't know (I use emacs, in which case just "sudo apt-get install tex-live [or auctex for ultimate experience]). I would assume you need tex-live or another tex-ditribution for vim though. [03:42] if it helps anyone its also known as intel x3100 [03:42] edbian and Quantum_Ion: I already booted one and mounted my drives to chroot into them [03:42] Genieliu, yep [03:42] Anyone know where the Main Java Package folder is? [03:42] enav: no network manager can search for wifi [03:42] compiz works, but the 3d acceleration is :/ [03:42] UltraParadigm, the what ?? you mean OpenJDK ? [03:43] neil_d, well... that's probably not the issue.. i'm guessing grub did not get copied over... now yous ay you ran grub-install from the live cd... did you chroot the drive prior to doing that? [03:43] no for SE 6 [03:43] oper the drive jokey and check in the for drives installarion [03:43] UltraParadigm, rephrase the question please ? [03:43] Ken8521: no! [03:43] neil_d, thats the problem... hang on. [03:43] If I were to create a Class package in Java, where would I put the folders? [03:43] Anyone had a problem with Ubuntu 10.04 where if it is left on "lock" (screensaver) for too long the system locks up? if so, any solutions to this? (if its not a hardware issue) [03:43] chu: i can use emacs,thank you [03:44] UltraParadigm: /join #java [03:44] I'm using the Sun Java Standard Edition 6.0 [03:44] UltraParadigm, what is the purpose of the class package ? [03:44] Ken8521: reboot now to the LiveCD [03:44] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Ok, I pulled the card. Lets see.... [03:44] enav: They told me to ask you guys, lol [03:44] They don't help with OS stuff [03:44] neil_d, hang on just a sec... if you want to though, that shouldn't be a problem... i'm trying to find a guide, cuz i'm not 100% sure on how to do this. [03:44] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Boom bitchesss, still hangs! haha [03:45] UltraParadigm: is ok those bastards are a bunch of trolls [03:45] neil_d, go ahead and hook up the "bad drive" also [03:45] Caleb1134, This bitch is trying to help [03:45] Caleb1134, try holding escape as it boots [03:45] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Haha, the sentence just felt right with it in there [03:45] !language [03:45] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:45] Caleb1134, To be clear, what has not connected just now? [03:45] UltraParadigm, Are you programming a simple Hello World Java application ? [03:45] Quantum_Ion: it's like a library that you create for your own programs. It has to be placed in a particular directory. I don't know where. :-/ [03:45] edbian and Quantum_Ion: Do you mean what is connected? [03:45] Ken8521: I can only have the CD or the orginal drive not both... [03:46] Genieliu: you may want to have a read through the emacs manual on tex. It's got a little bit of information which is pretty useful. What tex ditribution are you going to use? And also, what level of emacs experience do you have? (I have written a large emacs cheat-sheet I can send your way if you're interested) [03:46] UltraParadigm, It only has to be placed in the folder of other things that use it. Please ask in #java. They will know [03:46] edbian: Just the boot drive and a monitor [03:46] ok [03:46] neil_d, can you PM me? [03:46] yes [03:46] Caleb1134, The boot drive is the one with Ubuntu on it? It's internal? It hangs right after checking what drive? === Mash- is now known as MashPotato [03:47] edbian: yes, yes, the internal boot drive. It passes though [03:47] UltraParadigm, When you installed Oracle Java onto your Ubuntu Linux system where did you put it ? === jared_ is now known as RRU_Sciguy [03:47] edbian: I doubt it has to do with the drive because I just ran SMART tests on it yesterday and everything passed [03:47] Caleb1134, But the system still hangs. Probably configuration of something. Do you have any pci cards in there? [03:47] chu: I just start to learn tex,so i am not familiar with tex [03:48] edbian: I think its failing to start the next item because its stuck at the blinking cursor. and nope [03:48] UltraParadigm, usually most people mkdir /opt/jdk and install Oracle Java into /opt directory [03:48] Genieliu: Mind if I pm you? [03:48] join #ubuntu-br-doc [03:48] chu: ok [03:48] Quantum_Ion: Beats me, lol everything is automatic these days. I just ran the installer. I'll have to dredge through the docs i guess [03:48] anyone know how long it would take to decrypt an AES 256-bit encryption key? [03:48] I am having some troubles that I do not understand and am not able to find explainations that I understand. I did: "apt-get install hibernate", it installed and started the configuration process, at end of process it trys to make a kernel and tells me: "W: mdadm: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf defines no arrays." How do I correct this? [03:48] edbian: It really only has the boot drive and nothing else period [03:48] UltraParadigm, oh God you just ran the installer ??? [03:48] Caleb1134, I'm thinking [03:48] Caleb1134, A live CD boots fine? [03:49] Ubuntu phpmyadmin question... everything is working fine but I can't find where in my apache2 confs it declares mysite.com/phpmyadmin No include line stating php .. anyone? [03:49] edbian: yup. Want to get in a PM? [03:49] edbian: Its getting hard to sort through the mess of posts [03:49] paddymelon by what method? [03:49] Caleb1134, If you want to [03:49] LucidGuy, #ubuntu-server or #httpd [03:49] UltraParadigm, when you are working programming SDK it's best to put then in a location where you can find them like /opt [03:49] im on konversation now someone say my name please [03:49] RRU_Sciguy, I'm guessing brute force [03:49] olskolirc_: please [03:50] edbian, I dont know how to in this java IRC lol [03:50] thanks shauno [03:50] I see. Well, I'll have to look for it. [03:50] edbian can you just invite me? [03:50] paddymelon, not in this lifetime in theory without attacking the cypher [03:50] lol, for all I know it's all installed in my home directory [03:50] !ops Psi-Jack, aka: Eric Renfro of 115 Cory Ln, Winter Springs Florida, 32708.

Note: This is not on a PC, this is Embedded stuff [03:51] paddymelon, Well, 256 bits. Each one is a 0 or 1 so that's 2^256 different possibilities. Given you can check 1 / second [03:51] paddymelon, as in you are monitoring the packages transmitted through the wifi connection? [03:51] testing [03:51] RRU_Sciguy, actually, I'm trying to decrypt the filesystem on a wii so... no access to that kind of thing [03:52] paddymelon, even with brute force... but this isn't a cryptography channel [03:52] How would I map a keyboard combination to act as a middle mouse button on my laptop? [03:52] kikerz... what are you talking about and who are you? [03:52] UltraParadigm, so did you edit your /etc/profile and your .bashrc file and add the location to your PATH ?

[03:53] thanks daddy [03:53] ok perfect [03:53] lol, olskolirc and can't figure out notifications? ;) [03:53] paddymelon, i don't think it's possible last I checked AES256 wasn't crackable [03:53] lol ##You_Have_Got_To_Be_Kidding, lol. [03:53] scott_ino: Thanks [03:53] my girlfriend calls me daddy when we're getting freaky [03:53] im a newb Ken8521 on konversation [03:54] paddymelon: brute force really isn't an option with modern cyphers. I'd advise a quick read of http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/200607/msg00058.html (just the third paragraph, starting "Imagine a computer ..) to get an idea of the numbers involved. they're unfathomable [03:54] paddymelon: depends on your method of guessing and the key [03:54] UltraParadigm, make a directory in /opt for example, mkdir /opt/jdk and put all your Oracle Java jdk and jre in it [03:54] shauno: ok, thanks [03:54] RRU_Sciguy: What do you mean 'method' don't you start at a and head to z? [03:55] test [03:55] UltraParadigm, then cd into the directory and unpack Oracle Java [03:55] that is one, you can also just enter in random strings XD [03:55] now if i can get text to stop wraping under time stamp [03:55] indent [03:55] and don't forget the numeric chars [03:55] UltraParadigm, then edit /etc/profile and .bashrc file and let them know the location of your Oracle Java [03:56] Hi.I have proxies set up, but I want something that is fast for browsing where privacy is not a big concern, but I'd like to encrypt all my wireless traffic. I tried doing "ssh -D 8080 al@localhost", but when I check the results in wireshark or tcpdump,the sites and source code appear in plain text. By running ssh locally as a socks proxy, am I encrypting my packets from my ISP or other users on my network that might be sniffing or [03:56] attack? If not, what is the best way to encrypt my traffic on linux? (openssl maybe?)Thanks! [03:56] linux: you cant encrypt all your traffic [03:56] UltraParadigm, a java path would look something like this: JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk/jdk1.6.0_21 [03:56] PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin [03:56] linux: unless your using a https site [03:56] <{bosco}> how do i add wireless connectivity to my startup script with ubuntu??? before e17 and gnome loads?? [03:57] sandyd, but when I open up a socks proxy by connecting to a remote ssh account, doesnt it encrpyt my traffic from other users on my LAN and my isp? [03:57] Cherrio mates. How do I boot a different kernel in ubuntu 10.04 server? [03:57] once you manually connect to a wireless network, it should connect automatically on startup [03:57] UltraParadigm, a java jre path would look something like this: JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk/jre1.6.0_21 [03:57] PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin [03:57] linux: no [03:58] !offtopic [03:58] #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! [03:58] edbian: what do I ask? [03:58] linux: setup a VPN === olskolirc_ is now known as testnick [03:58] linux, You can set up an ssh tunnel and proxy everything through it. It is possible. and it will be encrypted [03:58] testing [03:58] <{bosco}> RRU_Sciguy, then explain this one just curious i load e17 and wicd and or any connection manager or sudo dhclient wlan0 which is what wireless is on will not work in e17 but i can scan and see networks all day long????? [03:58] Caleb1134, can't boot because of a new kernel. He has no old kernels in his grub. What can he do? === testnick is now known as olskolirc_ [03:58] RRU_Sciguy, sort of.. you have to tell it to connect automatically [03:58] test [03:59] Im definitely sensing a level of big brother paranoia in this channel [03:59] thanks edbian. It gets stuck after running the fsck [03:59] UltraParadigm, then you would have to inform Ubuntu Linux where Java is installed sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/opt/jdk/32/jre1.6.0_21/bin/java" 1 [03:59] sandyd:THANKS! I thought I've heard guides saying using just ssh will protect you, especially in net cafe's, but is this not so? SOrry for such newb questions. [03:59] Quantum_Ion: Yeah, I've seen something like that before. I need to look into my IDE settings. I think the location will be there. If I have too much trouble I'll do like you say and just reinstall it in /opt [03:59] linux, http://chinese-watercolor.com/LRP/printsrv/tunnel-how.html [03:59] apparently the autoconnect is on by default [03:59] UltraParadigm, then sudo update-alternatives --set java /opt/jdk/32/jre1.6.0_21/bin/java [03:59] he might need to boot with the noapic option, or nomodeset, or no lapic, I had to edit grub and add those lines [04:00] edbian no one wants to help :( [04:00] Eighteens, Good idea. Caleb1134 ^^ [04:00] * olskolirc_ testing [04:00] I tried noapic [04:00] {bosco}: clarification please? can't really figure out your q [04:00] let me try the rest while im still in GRUB [04:00] THanks for you help guys. Especially you sandyd. [04:00] UltraParadigm, run this command and print the output to the screen: sudo update-alternatives --config java [04:00] olskolirc, try in #test [04:01] Eighteens: is the line actually "no lapic"? [04:01] this is my grub line i had to change after quiet splash [04:01] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off noapic nolapic nomodeset" [04:01] olskolirc_ #test Cannot join channel (+b) - you are banned <<< whats up with that AbhiJit [04:01] it would not boot for the life of me, untill i changed those in that file [04:01] olskolirc, you are banned [04:02] but also, i had to f6 when booting the live cd, and check those options [04:02] i am trying to get a command from input so i can use it in my script. as in " " anyone have any idea how to do this? [04:02] so it only made sense to do it in the grub file, however if it wasn't for the nice gentleman who helped me find that darn file, i'd still be booting the live cd [04:02] Eighteens: I really have no idea where that goes [04:03] Caleb1134, press shift or esc or whatever and then press e on the line you want to edit. [04:03] edbian and Eighteens: Im in GRUB right now. Do I just edit the ubuntu option and put all that on the bottom line? [04:03] UltraParadigm, /usr/lib/jvm = is where the OpenJDK resides in Ubuntu Linux [04:03] caleb1134 check your /etc/defualt/grub [04:03] what means "update login records"? [04:03] Caleb1134, Edit the line he said. [04:03] Eighteens, he can't boot that's the whole problem [04:03] <{bosco}> RRU_Sciguy, i use E17 as my desktop manager and in GNOME everything works fine but when i use E17 and sudo dhclient wlan0 cannot connect to the internet but when i sudo dhclient wlan0 scan i can see other networks and no network manager has worked in E17 so only in E17 will wifi not work for somereason??? [04:04] I dont have a line like that [04:04] Caleb1134, see the line with "quiet" and "splash" put those options on that line [04:04] what means "update login records" in terminal preferences? [04:04] dont get it [04:04] Caleb1134, i had to open a terminal, then changed directory to /etc/default [04:05] edbian: ok thanks, lemme past it in there. Oh and btw there is no splash on server [04:05] so tomorrow the next ubuntu is gonna be released B-) [04:05] Thanks Quantum_Ion: That did the trick! [04:05] if alsa can handle multiple sources, what's the point of pulse? [04:05] sriramoman, #ubuntu-release-party [04:05] "Select this option to insert a new entry in the login records when a new shell is opened." [04:05] Caleb1134, good call [04:05] {bosco} sounds like E17 has a beef with your wlan driver or something [04:05] UltraParadigm, print the output to the screen copy and paste [04:06] Hi there ppl! where do I get some simple info about linux gaming, Wine and HDD space? [04:06] edbian, i couldnt boot either unless i escaped the system when booting the live cd, then f6, chose those boot options [04:06] UltraParadigm, I have been working with Java SDK, Android SDK and Qt SDK for a long time on Ubuntu Linux [04:06] edbian and Eighteens: Ok, its booting. Ill let you know how it goes [04:06] edbian whats his error, if he trys to boot he live cd [04:07] oh ok, just trying to help [04:07] <{bosco}> RRU_Sciguy, where do i begin then to get this fixed?? [04:07] edbian and Eighteens: Same error :'( [04:07] UltraParadigm, that is why I suggested you put all your programming SDK's in one directory like /opt so you can locate them easily when it comes to upgrading them, etc [04:07] ok Caleb1134 what is the error say [04:07] Anyone have any idea how to get a command name and options input when you use a script? As in using a command name that you get from input? Here is what i have gotten so far, my problem is the last line [04:07] Caleb1134, ok good! :D [04:07] I see. [04:08] Anyone have any idea how to get a command name and options input when you use a script? As in using a command name that you get from input? Here is what i have gotten so far, my problem is the last line http://pastebin.com/yyUV9hrR [04:08] I th ink that's a good Idea [04:08] Caleb1134, What's the error? [04:08] edbian and Eighteens: The error is not really and error at all. It hangs after a command [04:08] edbian and Eighteens: the same as before, let me paste it [04:08] someone can help me/ [04:08] edbian and Eighteens:Ill just tell you. It runs the fsck on /dev/sdd1 and thats it [04:08] ? [04:09] Caleb1134, Weird... [04:09] ditto [04:09] edbian and Eighteens: It says 0.2% non contiguous and then goes to a new line [04:09] can you try booting the live cd? [04:09] and just sits there blinking [04:09] edbian and Eighteens:Yea, a live CD works fine and mounts the partitions fine too [04:09] it depends on what exactly the problem is. I don't now what exactly you've done but id start with trying to find a good driver. See if e17 will support a commercial driver from the wireless card's manufacturers [04:09] UltraParadigm, type this at the terminal line java -version [04:09] edbian and Eighteens: I even ran an fsck on the drive and it passed [04:10] Caleb1134, It's sounds like something wrong with the installed system. I don't know what though [04:10] <{bosco}> RRU_Sciguy, i have alrady asked in #e and no one is in there and it is a linksys card that worked out of the box with 10.04 and 10.10 [04:10] edbian and Eighteens: Well, I guess if it comes to reinstalling how can I preserve my RAID? [04:10] <{bosco}> RRU_Sciguy, that is why i am lost [04:10] UltraParadigm, it should say something like this: java version "1.6.0_21" [04:10] Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b06) [04:10] Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode) [04:10] hello [04:10] the OS is not on the raid, its only multimedia [04:10] plitter: I'm not clear what you're trying to do there? [04:11] and its a software RAID 5 using mdadm [04:11] {bosco}, e17 is an alpha right? [04:11] someone can help me? im new here and in ubuntu [04:11] !ask | ploc [04:11] ploc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:11] Well it's been real folks time to get some sleep() PEACE ! [04:11] i have a nautilus window open. every time i try to close it, it opens again... what would cause this and how can i stop it? [04:11] i can't login in skype [04:11] been doing to much programming? [04:12] shauno: its my alarm clock it takes in the hour and min that u want to wake up, then it is supposed to take a command like mplayer /path/to/file and execute it at the time u want to wake up [04:12] <{bosco}> RRU_Sciguy, know that has been around since about 2006 [04:12] <{bosco}> RRU_Sciguy, it is a desktop or windows manager [04:12] shutdown -h now [04:12] Caleb1134 i'm sorry i havent had that error yet [04:12] or maybe you can run this command as root init 0 [04:12] it may be an error in e17 communicating with the driver [04:13] Eighteens: Its not your fault. Its just that everytime I try linux things go wrong [04:13] plitter: not sure what's going wrong. if I run that with '1 1 echo test' the last line works [04:13] init 6 will reboot the Ubuntu Linux system [04:13] Quantum_Ion, myself, I like `halt` better. Its shorter. [04:13] Caleb1134 have you tried holding escape, soon as it tries to boot [04:13] the skype says that my password as incorret, but, it is correct, i dont now what do. I see in one forum that i need change de folder name but i cant find the folder [04:13] edbian and Eighteens: And its always some stupid problem no one knows how to fix. And I got tired of Windows Server. Maybe its time for mac.... Yuck [04:13] what is a "login record" in gnome-terminal? === darwin is now known as djclue917 [04:13] Nitsuga, will it power down your system and shut it off [04:14] Eighteens: Yea, I get the GRUB prompt right? [04:14] the highlight the kernel, and press e to edit the line [04:14] java version "1.6.0_18", It's working fine. I'm using Eclipse IDE right now and it seems to find everything just fine. I just don't know how to create packages, and where to put them. I can compile an debug and everything. [04:14] shauno: humm, weird [04:14] shauno: works now:P [04:14] Quantum_Ion, just like shutdown -h now :) [04:14] shauno: thanks for your time though) [04:15] ploc, you can connect with that password from another computer/os? [04:15] I mean, I know how to create the packages, I just don't know exactly where the root directory is for them [04:15] Caleb113, when I tried dual-booting directly from the disk (laptop, 1 drive) I started getting an error msg having to do with RAM being percieved as corrupted. uninstalled and it went away. I installed with Wubi (30Gb vhd) and it works fine [04:15] hi, what can causing problem, headsets was working earlier, and I don't see any damage happened to them, weird thing is only one side producing sound [04:15] or main directory rather [04:15] but I will find it [04:15] so you aren't the only one having problems like that with Linux XD [04:15] UltraParadigm, Use Netbeans IDE when you compile your Java code it makes jar packages you can easily distribute to others who have java VM on their system [04:15] Caleb1134, if you were in my city, i'd say bring it over, and lemme look, but it's hard to see what you see on your screen [04:16] Eighteens: Skype or something? [04:16] I can just put a camera on the screen lol [04:16] juk, sounds like either a short in the cord, or a dirty contact [04:16] I may go back to netBugs, but it had too many issues which were confusing me. Some serious bugs, like not naming my class files correctly [04:16] i don't have skype, only have ubuntu [04:16] UltraParadigm, Eclipse IDE is okay it is just not as professional as NetBeans IDE........Oracle uses NetBeans IDE for all their professional stuff [04:16] People sorry if I bother you but I need some simple info: can I install a game on a pendrive If I don't got enough drive space? I wanna play some games on my eeePc 701... [04:16] skype is a voip prog [04:16] and bitchx, and xchat [04:16] Eighteens: tinychat then? [04:16] hy, boys, I have a problem with to drivers the NVIDIA 310M, plias can you help me [04:16] ahh, howabout facebook chat, lol! [04:16] UltraParadigm: when you say create packages, you mean .deb's for ubuntu? or? [04:17] UltraParadigm, NetBeans 6.9.1 is really excellent now [04:17] facebook doesnt have a camera lmao [04:17] I was impressed by netbeans, but it's a bit overwhealming, and the bugs in it make it really chanlenging for someone just starting [04:17] and it is VERY buggy [04:17] hy, boys, I have a problem with to drivers the NVIDIA 310M, plias can you help me [04:17] Caleb1134, I'm entering chat now, so... [04:17] Thanks RRU_Sciguy [04:17] julian_ what driver are you using? [04:17] oh that reminds me Caleb1134 i don't have my cam plugged in, i'd have to dig it out of the closet, and see if it even works on ubuntu [04:17] hmm, well that could be it, I'm using 6.8 [04:17] wizoz, You can copy it over to the pendrive and make a symbolic link to wherever it has to be installed [04:17] i'll do that tho [04:17] osaquealves are you a wizard? [04:18] UltraParadigm, I never had a problem with NetBeans 6.9.1 and I do a lot of Java and android programming on NetBeans [04:18] i dont use the driver [04:18] but [04:18] I want help, but, could you describe your problem? [04:18] i cant acess my skype and login my facebook account on voip...says my password are incorrect [04:18] Eighteens: Well you dont really need the cam, I do and mine works. Good ole xbox vision cam [04:18] the driver wath ubuntu giv is worn [04:18] ok, what program has cam chat tho, i'd like to get that [04:18] Thanks Quantum_Ion: You have been a big help! [04:18] i think you said skype? [04:18] isaquealves: Sure, but can you put my name in your message so it beeps? Its hard to sort through this mess [04:18] UltraParadigm, good luck see ya later [04:18] Eighteens, Skype's cam works nicely in linux [04:18] Nitsuga you mean somwhat of desktop link to the pendrive folder right? [04:19] exit [04:19] somewhat* === sdsheeks__ is now known as sdsheeks [04:19] (sorry ... wrong window) [04:19] Thanks [04:19] Eighteens: yea, skype or tinychat. Tinychat is just a website to make a chatrrom. Really nice for this [04:20] hy, boys, I have a problem with to drivers the NVIDIA 310M, plias can you help me [04:20] yes, i cant connect in other computer [04:20] isaquealves: Ok here goes my story, I updated ubuntu server like a week ago, then rebooted. Upon it starting back up I get hanged on a message that says "fsck blah blah blah checking /dev/sda1 blah blah" [04:21] hy, boys, I have a problem with to drivers the NVIDIA 310M, plias can you help me [04:21] isaquealves: Nothing really errorish, it just hangs there after checking it. I have tried pulling everyting and updating from a livecd [04:21] julian_, click system>administration>hardware drivers. install/enable the recommended driver [04:21] and i can connect on skype sites and facebook pages. the problem its in the programs [04:21] wizoz, a symbolic link is a link to another part to the filesystem that is transparent to every application... for example... if you ln -s ~/Documents/Letter.odt ~/letter you can open and change ~/letter like if it was ~/Documents/Letter.odt and changes will be refleted on the original file [04:21] Caleb113, sounds like it may be hw issues....... [04:21] Julian_ you really dont have to post that many times seeing as you are a girl it shouldnt take that long to get help [04:21] no, but this driver not work fine with 310M [04:22] ploc, that is weird. I'm afraid it's ubuntu specific, and I'm not using that [04:22] julian_ then try a different one. [04:22] RRU_sciguy: thats what I thought, but ive literally pulled every device out to no avail. I think the updated kernel busted something [04:22] i see on forum thats need change skype folders name, but i cant do find the folder [04:23] anyone know if it would be a bad idea to "round to cylinders" when shrinking a fat32 partition? the partition is currently blank [04:23] Caleb113, im thinking it has something to do with the HDD, like it's not reading the disk properly [04:23] wizoz, and you can do sudo ln -s /media/big_filesystem/game /usr/share/game and the OS will beleive thet the game is in /usr/share [04:23] Caleb1134: if it was the kernel, you could try different kernels from grub's menu (it doesn't automatically expire old ones) [04:23] im new on linux and i dont now where is the folder in home or whal change this name [04:23] Shauno, there is no others listed [04:24] ploc: i presume you are looking for .skype? [04:24] hy, boys, I have a problem with to drivers the NVIDIA 310M, plias can you help me [04:24] Sterist, It won't make a dicernable difference [04:24] Caleb1134, it's installing skype now [04:24] Nitsuga so I need to make symbolic link of the main exe or of the entire folder? Or I don't need to do so if I sudo ln -s etc? [04:24] yes [04:24] Sterist, in fact it's better for backwards compaibility. Win9x and less can't access a non-rounded to cylinder partition [04:24] sudo apt-get install skype didn't work for me, i had to do something else, but it looks like it's going now [04:24] wizoz, to the entire folder [04:24] I have several luns presented to a workstation. They are setup in /etc/multipath.conf with an alias. I can see all the luns with the multipath -ll command. How would i go about renaming the luns with device mapper? I do not want to use /dev/dm-7 in fstab since the dm-7 is not necessarily persistant at reboot. Any thoughts? [04:24] ploc well in terminal or file manager? [04:25] i need change de folder name of .skype, but i dont now ow [04:25] Eighteens: check your pms [04:25] ploc, click view, show hidden files, and then find .skype(in your home flder) [04:25] wizoz, find out where game data is installed (most likely /opt/something or /usr/share/something ) and create it on the pendrive and link it [04:25] Caleb1134 not sure where pm's go in this client [04:25] ploc: in terminal or with nautilus? (graphical file manager) [04:25] !who | ploc [04:25] ploc: 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 :) [04:26] then install and it will install on the pendrive... just remember to mount it befor playing [04:26] thank you Nitsuga. I'm gonna write down your suggestion. [04:26] Eighteens: lmao, click here http://tinychat.com/ubuntuhelp [04:26] Eighteens, the pms are listed in the left pane, if that's what you meant [04:26] mickster04, he said he's new to ubuntu, and you're asking him if he wants to use terminal or the GUI? [04:26] Ken8521: no i'm asking him which he is using. even noobs get told to use the terminal som,etimes [04:26] RRU_Sciguy i'm in bx, not sure where pm's go [04:27] mickster04, thats why noobs are lost most of the time... terminal is a good thing to learn, in due time... [04:27] im using xchat [04:27] Ken8521: which is why i was asking him [04:27] RRU_Sciguy: short in the cord? No cord is not damaged, two headsets at once unlikely [04:27] mickster04, my point is, just give him the most straightforward answer.. [04:27] RRU_Sciguy, actually i mean Bitchx, but didn't want to say that word here [04:27] hey, i need a vpn client for ubuntu. I dont know the configuration but have a vcf file from cisco vpn client ..c an it be used with any ubuntu vpn client ? [04:28] wizoz, asuming it is world of goo... I think it installs the game data on /opt/WorldOfGoo... so make a WorldOfGoo folder anywhere in your pendrive (it can be called somthing else, too, in this example located on Games/World of Goo) and open a terminal and do a sudo ln -s "/media/Pendrive/Games/World of goo" /opt/WorldOfGoo (root privileges are needed to write outside your home folder) and install [04:28] Ken8521: which is only plausible if i know what he is using. i would have said "mv .skype .newfoldername" after making sure he was in his home directy. if i he was in Nautilus i would have said ctrl+h after working out when he was in his home directory [04:28] Eighteens XD [04:28] oh right, im think i find the folder [04:29] Caleb1134: "seeing as you are a girl it shouldnt take that long to get help" is a pretty sexist thing to say [04:29] juk: hmmm, make sure that the sound settings are set to stereo (always check the obvious) [04:29] ubottu, thanks [04:29] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [04:29] maco: I know. [04:29] hrmph. so was the assumption that everyone here's boys :( [04:30] hey, i need a vpn client for ubuntu. I dont know the configuration but have a vcf file from cisco vpn client ..can it be used with any ubuntu vpn client ? [04:30] why would I want a sound server? [04:30] daddysmurf: que? [04:30] daddysmurf: what do you mean sound server? [04:31] mickster04: ubuntu comes stock with pulse (a sound server). I don't see why I would want it, as it causes me incredible amounts of pain [04:31] maco: judging by the language used, it could just be a funny translation. similar to how 'guys' is used as a pretty gender-neutral inclusive now [04:31] maco: no just that help would arrive sooner lol [04:31] daddysmurf: cause without it you won't have any sound... [04:31] Thank you again Nitsuga, you are very helpful. [04:31] daddysmurf, to mix sound from different applications together, and maybe output it to multiple soundcards at the same time while downmixing thet sorround sound of the movie to your two speakers [04:31] wizoz, welcome... good luck.. I'm leaving, but you can ask anyone in the channel if you have trouble [04:31] daddysmurf: i think there are alternatives [04:31] mickster04: I just removed it, and everything works perfectly [04:31] daddysmurf: have you rebooted [04:32] hey guys, i need a vpn client for ubuntu. I dont know the configuration but have a vcf file from cisco vpn client ..can it be used with any ubuntu vpn client ? [04:32] Nitsuga ok, thanks ;) [04:32] rizkhan: i thought ubunutu supported vpn by defaulot without programs [04:32] until I get a second sound card, I'm gonna run w/o pulse. used to run w/o it in suse and gentoo, so I think I should be fine [04:33] although I saw a sound card for $5 recently... [04:33] daddysmurf: if you haven't rebooted you will be using whatever sound server you were previously, because uninstalling it doesn't stp it from working in that session... [04:33] mickster04, i know, but the vcf file .. comtains some encrypted passwds for grps and stuff and i need something comaptible to cisco [04:33] rizkhan, i just connectdd to a windows box w/ VNC, and the "configuration file" I saved for that connection, is .rdp [04:33] daddysmurf, pulse is very awesome.. when it works... if it isn't working to you you can uninstall it and leave the mixing task to the kernel... but you loose some features, like per-application volume controls and sound level restoration [04:33] rizkhan: oh sorry ignore me [04:34] How can I start a terminal with alltray? [04:34] Nitsuga: it's that or I only get sound from one random application at a time... [04:34] Ken8521, rdp is remote desktop, m talking about cisco vpn client [04:34] rizkhan, no kidding? [04:34] lol [04:34] geez.. bad case of DA running around here tonight [04:35] pidgin is the BEST irc client ever [04:35] hey everyone [04:35] what do i need to see and work on the screen of a LAN pc? [04:35] rizkhan: http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/bin/cisco-decode [04:35] enav, ? only during a friday night drinking binge.. ;) [04:35] daddysmurf, without pulse... some (more than expected) apps block the sound card to exclusive use [04:35] I need some help with apache2. I have followed the setup docs on the Ubuntu site. now just one small issue. I set up a site in my home dir. I have edited the files thats supposed to tell apache where the document root dir is. but I am still getting the defautl "It works" index.html in the /var/www. anyone willing to help walk me through on how to figure this out?? [04:35] enav: false [04:35] pie_time: rdp, vnc? [04:36] why? [04:36] what's that daddysmurf [04:36] daddysmurf, thanks [04:36] Nitsuga: don't tell me that, I'll cry [04:36] rizkhan: np [04:36] pie_time, is the other machine you want to connect to, Ubuntu or 'doze? [04:36] enav: because irssi is [04:36] RRU_Sciguy: I able to hear stereo using third headset [04:36] pie_time: vnc and rdp are both remote desktop software, install server on one end, install client on other, goto town [04:36] Ken8521, ubuntu [04:36] detrix: weel ubuntu site is nice but incomplete [04:36] detrix: you restarted apache right? [04:37] ok thanks daddysmurf. are both free? [04:37] pie_time, ok.. that's fairly easy to do... what versions of ubuntu? [04:37] OK I have usbmount setup on my system, when I'm finished with a volume do I unmount it manually first? [04:37] tensorpudding, a couple of times, yes [04:37] daddysmurf, fortunately nowadays it's less likely to happen... the only popular app that doeas that is (why it doesn't surprise me)... Flash Player! [04:37] ken 10.04 and 10.04, respectively. :P [04:37] detrix: you need to enable your new site and disable the default [04:37] pie_time, on both machines go to system/preferences/remote desktop [04:37] enav: did that, yes [04:37] Nitsuga: I run flash (youtube'n music), and mythtv at the same time alot [04:37] enable the options you want [04:38] enav: only one site active [04:38] detrix: which files did you edit? [04:38] detrix: you did this?: a2dissite default [04:39] Ken8521, pie_time: apt-get install x11vnc ?? [04:39] pie_time, if the other PC doesn't have any one, make sure you configure it to "automatically accept"(and password protect it) [04:39] shauno: I copied the default site file to NovaPrime; edited it and changed the document root dir. enav: yes [04:39] daddysmurf, he doesn't need it. [04:39] I'm having a problem where after updating to 10.10, my wired connection doesn't work and my wireless is terrible [04:39] daddysmurf, 10.04 comes w/ everything he needs to connect two 10.04 machines [04:39] !10.10 | neclimdul [04:39] neclimdul: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [04:39] Ken8521: okie doke, I'm sure you know better than me, I come from source distributions [04:39] daddysmurf, in that case myself from about a year before now envys you [04:40] the config file example on ubuntu site is not good... let me give you another [04:40] mickster04: many thanks [04:40] shauno: enav: and then I did the e2dissite and e2ensite [04:40] detrix: the config file example on ubuntu site is not good... let me give you another [04:40] enav: thank you so very much [04:42] pie_time, once you enable remote desktop on both machines, just use remote desktop viewer, and connect to that machines IP... very simple [04:42] so.. I'm leaving... have a nice day you all! [04:42] detrix: why you dont want to use the default site? [04:43] * qingyulinag zzzZZZ [04:43] detrix: tell me exactly what you want to do?, just learn? [04:43] enav: the ubuntu site said to copy the default site setup for starters, but it says to edit to change the document root. === flaviamissi is now known as Flavia [04:44] juk: than it's the headset === Flavia is now known as FlaviaM [04:44] detrix: don't worry about that ... tell me what you want to do with that server [04:44] hey all: If I install the nvidia drivers will that also take care of the sound? I am useing nvidia 615SE +430 (HD) [04:45] enav: mostly to learn but I do want to actually get it to be a web server. [04:45] OddJoe: no? how would it? [04:45] detrix: what are you using as a webserver? [04:45] OddJoe, i'm not sure why you think it would.. but i'll just tell you.. very very very very very very unlikely [04:45] mickster04, as in hardware or software??? [04:45] detrix: soft [04:45] detrix: actually you can build all your stuff in the default apche folder [04:45] 'If i fill up my gas tank, do i still need oil to start my car?" [04:45] mickster84: The card is sposto handle video and sound. Thats why I am woundering [04:46] detrix: this is located at /var/www/ [04:46] enav: tis true. that would make things alot simpler. [04:46] OddJoe: can you give me a weblink with details for the card? [04:46] # [04:46] mickster04, I am using apache2 [04:47] mickster84: sure, let me get the link real quick. [04:47] detrix: ok i'm confused as to why there seems to be problems for you? did the default set up work? [04:47] detrix: you can create your own new sites, that is cool i guess but unnecessary in some cases [04:47] Ken8521, both of my machines are saying the same thing [04:47] Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address localhost. [04:47] RRU_Sciguy: I was suspecting them, haven't got tester :( here, thanks anyway [04:47] pie_time, yeah.. are you wanting to reach them outside the network? [04:47] Ken8521, no]\ [04:48] pie_time, ok, so go to application/internet/remote desktop Viewer [04:48] enav: yes thats the main reason for me trying to set up a virtual site. I may host a site for my wife as well. So I am trying to learn how to do that [04:48] pie_time, you should see the "hosts nearby"... on the left.. [04:48] mickster04, yes the default set up is working... [04:49] detrix: awesome [04:49] pie_time, you can also use terminal service client if you want to. [04:49] mickster84: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-256.53-driver.html [04:49] Ken8521, im not seeing "hosts nearby" [04:49] detrix: if you want to learn web development, intranet hosting and stuff like that I recommend you use the default site location /var/www, however if you want to do more advanced stuff like host multiple sites in the same server just follow this tutorial http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412 [04:50] pie_time, and you enabled remote desktop on both machines, right? [04:50] Ken8521, yes [04:50] pie_time, do you see the IP address it says you can connect to?... probably 192.168.1.x [04:50] guys, i'd like to know about VNC and how it works; i've been trying to connect via VNC to my brother's computer for an hour, give or take, and it still isn't working, despite the fact that i've tried every answer i've looked up [04:50] on the remote machine.. not the machine your on [04:51] furi, are both machines ubuntu? [04:51] enav: thanks that should help a lot. [04:51] OddJoe: that is a display driver. not a sound driver [04:51] oh, was just about to mention that [04:51] the other computer is vista [04:51] how can you output a short avi clip to a bunch of jpgs? one per frame? [04:51] furi, did you install vncserver on the other machine?(assuming you're trying to view his desktop) [04:51] yes [04:51] detrix: after configure those multiple sites on every reload or restart apache is goig to show some radom [Warnings] just ignore them in most cases [04:52] furi, you also need to install vnc on your machine... [04:52] and i'm using the remote thingy on here [04:52] oh? [04:52] well, then [04:52] mickster84: hmm ok thanks. That means I will need to install alsa as well then. [04:52] sorry for my stupidity [04:52] furi, yes, to my knowledge, windows does not support the rdp protocol [04:52] but [04:52] .. [04:52] anyone know a good tool for writing udev rules? [04:52] wait just a moment [04:52] oh, never mind [04:53] might as well not try making points in something i have only half some knowledge about [04:53] furi, go to application/internet/terminal service client... where it says "protocol" is is VNC available? [04:53] detrix: you are using ubuntu server edition on virtual machines I guess? [04:53] no, actually [04:54] it's greyed out [04:54] just RDP and RDPv% [04:54] v5 [04:54] furi, thats why, ubuntu windows needs VNC..(at least XP does.. i'm assuming vista does also) [04:54] furi, hang on a sec. [04:54] okay [04:54] thanks in advance [04:55] enav: cough cough....no. standard install, and just recently decided to play with LAMP [04:55] enav: so I followed the ubuntu site for installing and setting up [04:55] Ken8521, do i have to install vnc or ssh as well? [04:55] detrix: enav is there a problem for you or are you just asking for guidance? [04:55] pie_time, not between two ubuntu machines(you shouldn't ahve to) [04:56] howdy folks [04:56] hullo [04:56] detrix: desktop lamp fails some times, take that in mind, ubuntu server edition is like a fing rock [04:57] howdy mickster04 [04:57] detrix: i am running a lamp service off the laptop i am using right now...no problems here :p# [04:57] geekphreak: hows things [04:57] mickster04: you on new ubuntu 10.10? [04:57] LAMP stack works fine with Ubuntu. [04:57] mickster04: good here thanks and you?/ [04:57] geekphreak: not till its out [04:57] mickster04, I am trying to learn how to setup virtual severs on my computer, so I can host a site for myself and one for my wife. The default setup is working just wanting to go a little extra for multiple servers. [04:58] mickster04: rc is, i have the iso [04:58] does anyone know if there is a super mario game that works on ubuntu? [04:58] OddJoe: all of them. Get an emulator. [04:58] detrix: you know you can host multiple websites from the same server [04:58] Ken8521, they have the same hostname but different ips. is that ok? [04:58] OddJoe: fceu for NES emulator, ZSNES for SNES. [04:58] geekphreak: i meant the new one [04:58] detrix: aint hard, can i suggest something [04:58] geekphreak: i meant the full one [04:58] OddJoe: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/534416 [04:58] pie_time, if they had the same IP's... one of the machiens would not be online, and your router would not be doing its job [04:59] mickster04, yes. I am learning how to do just that. [04:59] ok thanks you two. [04:59] geekphreak, suggest away. [05:00] detrix: detrix its just irtual servers, just make a copy of the first virtual srever and change some of the detalis around to make it different [05:00] OddJoe: i like to play mario with the machine gun [05:00] detrix: in repos there is GUI based tool for apache for managing virtual host, might wana take a look in that === and is now known as Andor [05:00] geekphreak, I shall do that... [05:01] :) [05:01] TERMINAL F:T:W!!!!!!!!! [05:01] lol [05:02] yeah i wouldn't use a GUI for that job either :p [05:02] If I detach my screen session and kill X, after I log in, will I be able to reattach to that session again? (I don't think so, but I am hoping so) [05:02] enav: I noticed that from the link. lol I am looking for something that has the classic game along with like mario cart multiplayer for online play, ect === sifon187_ is now known as [1]sifon187 [05:03] chu: well screen is terminal...x is Gui..so try it with something unimportant first... [05:03] Kill X as in just log out [05:03] chu: go into a different tty level [05:03] OddJoe: that is a joke game... anyway just open software center and download some snes emulators next google this "supermerio rom" [05:03] chu: they don't use x yb default, its just command line [05:03] smario* [05:04] chu: i dunno [05:04] I'm thinking about using screen at school, if I just detach my session there, and log out, can I reattach my session when I get home? [05:04] can anyone advise me on weather or not installing computer-janitor-gtk is a good idea for a novice linux user? [05:04] geekphreak, I am not seeing a gui for virtual servers.....would you happen to know the name? [05:04] chu: try getting a screen sression working on your laptop, then log out and in then try to reattach === stingernewt is now known as damionloop [05:04] Alright. Cheers [05:05] Hola [05:05] glithcd: I wouldn't install it [05:05] glithcd: don't touch that... some times that app go nuts and delete estuff like virtualbox and games [05:05] firestarter is pretty cool [05:05] Personally I don't like computer janitor. Sucks [05:05] alguien ha instalado openbravo desde los fuentes en ubuntu? [05:05] almoxarife, any particular reason?

[05:19] it might be worth it tho, it's very nice... to pay some money that is [05:19] glithcd: let me give you this example, im running tight now Ubuntu, and i have 2 virtual machines running with Windows Xp, UbuntuServer [05:19] Eighteens: duuuuuuuuh [05:19] I installed ubuntu through Wubi, so it boots off a VHD [05:20] ee99ee: i use mincom; works pretty well connecting to console port [05:20] pie_time: change the pc names to something different from each other [05:20] pie_time: or use the IP address [05:20] ee99ee: wouldn't that be a minicom option? [05:20] mickster04, ive been using the ip addresses [05:20] (just guessing here) [05:20] anyone here familiar syslog? newb questions for you [05:20] well, I tried minicom but I can't seem to get it to work.. all it says is "Bad user name or password or user has no privilege to enter the menu" [05:20] pie_time: oh ok [05:20] geekphreak, so if that did work, if i saved something, it wouldnt show up on the actual install, would it? [05:20] I set the "modem" to the serial port (/dev/ttyS0) [05:20] ee99ee: normally cisco devices requires 9600 [05:20] pie_time, are these machines on the same network? [05:20] enav, right but do u have an actual xp install? [05:21] ee99ee: the first time to configure you have to sudo minicom; at least I did. [05:21] glithcd: if data saved was on the system you were working with [05:21] enav: this is a "cisco" device (aka - linksys :) ) [05:21] OMG, google bound the arrow keys to results! and pressing enter goes to the link [05:21] snikkerz: doing that too [05:21] * lepine is aghast [05:21] glithcd: do you know what is a virtual machine??? [05:21] glithcd: if you are running a VM, then the stuff is saved to the vhd [05:21] ubottu: ot [05:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:21] geekphreak, what do u mean if data saved was on the machine i am working with? [05:21] also I notice minicom says "offline" [05:21] how do I bring it online? [05:21] ee99ee: hooo i never play with those toys lol [05:21] enav, RRU_Sciguy that makes sense now [05:22] glithcd: like i said , not tested it myself it should :) [05:22] enav, RRU_Sciguy would the vhd be accessible from windows 7? [05:22] ee99ee: sorry; mine worked without much issue. Did you follow the guide here: http://help.ubuntu.com/communicty/CiscoConsole [05:22] I selected to initalize modem, but it just says: "AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1" which means nothing to me [05:22] snikkerz: nope, lemme try that thanks [05:22] glithcd: try it and see lol [05:22] thank for not helping have a good night [05:22] glithcd: you would need a special prog to do so [05:22] ee99ee: good luck! [05:22] snikkerz: HTTP/404 :-( [05:23] razor_: Please put here in this channel a specific question concerning syslog. [05:23] snikkerz: ahh, typo.. I got it [05:23] RRU_Sciguy, a program such as? [05:23] RRU_Sciguy, i could jus search it on google nd hope i get results [05:23] glithcd: a vritual HD is jsut a file [05:23] ee99ee: lol good; working on two different machines atm. bookmark was on other system. [05:23] enav, like a page file system? [05:23] glithcd: something like that [05:24] errr, virtual box could load/run it. Not sure what prog you should use [05:24] enav, but wouldnt that jus read like a bunch of number instead of actual stuff i could read and or understand? [05:24] glithcd: lol man just get virtualbox tool [05:24] geekphreak, sry, but what is that? [05:24] luftikuss: alright, 1: how do i setup syslog to start monitoring from a client device (my router) 2: how do I get statistics out of the syslog from the router [05:25] geekphreak, what does it do [05:25] ? [05:25] omg !! [05:25] geekphreak, problem? [05:25] glithcd: run virtual operating system google it [05:25] glithcd: a virtual amchine is just a virtual computer, that use a bit of you real RAM, the HDD is just a big file, and the screen is a simple windows in your host sistem [05:25] glithcd: it runs OS's on VHDs in a virtualized hw environment [05:26] razor_: does 'mrtg' help you ? [05:26] glithcd: just get a prog that can mount the vhd as another drive [05:26] geekphreak, enav RRU_Sciguy i understand what a virtual machine is now [05:26] would probably, but first i need syslog to accept info from my router, how do i do that? [05:26] everything is virtual like the matrix movie [05:26] is ubuntu 10.10 armel ready for release [05:26] dhiry2k: 3 days [05:26] razor_: oh, does your router support sending to a remote syslogd? [05:26] dhiry2k, sunday [05:26] is armel 10.10 is stable [05:27] the 10.10 i have is very stable [05:27] lucent: yes, I already checked the box and put the Ubuntu server IP in [05:27] 10.04 is stable like a f-ing rick [05:27] i have installed gnome on arm board but not able to get anything after login [05:27] I_want_ely: i am glad you said it, i have 10.4, worth upgrading? [05:27] rock [05:27] just shows blank screen [05:28] wait, isnt 10.10 being released TOMORROW? [05:28] idk, i didn't notice much different except they changed the font/theme a bit..i think it looks better [05:28] razor_: looks like a couple good guides here if you haven't seen them. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180623 [05:28] can anyone help me with remote desktop viewer? i cant get it to connect. [05:28] I_want_ely: ok [05:28] razor_: you need to configure a -something- to listen on that port, also to make sure that your Ubuntu computer's firewall (if any) rules allow this traffic, and you probably know that already :) [05:28] RRU_Sciguy, if i creat a vhd of my linux install, would it take up the same amount of space an my real install? [05:28] pie_time: ports open? [05:28] RRU_Sciguy, im guessing so but idk [05:28] pie_time: do you have it enabled on your destination system? [05:28] razor_: I'm looking at which syslogd is on Ubuntu, here it is 'rsyslog' [05:28] RRU_Sciguy, yes on sunday, tomorrow [05:28] razor_: I did 'dpkg -l | grep syslog' to find out [05:29] razor_: take a look in /etc/rsyslog.conf, there's sectoins for 'provides UDP syslog reception' and 'provides TCP syslog reception' commented out [05:29] what does yours have? [05:29] date of release 10.10 lokks very nice 10/10/10 [05:29] looks [05:29] glithcd: just go to youtube and look some videos about virtualbox [05:29] yeah [05:29] glithcd: idk. all I know is that when I used Wubi to install ubuntu on a vhd, i created a 30GB vhd [05:29] funny. [05:29] razor_: most likely you want to un-comment them, and then poke holes thru any firewall to allow it in [05:29] im guessing it does [05:29] ok [05:29] RRU_Sciguy, ok [05:29] 10.10 on 10/10/10. Sure that's just a coincidence. Tin foil hats may be required. [05:29] lucent: i thought syslogd was installed, not rsyslog [05:30] 10/10/10 - 04/04/04 = 06/06/06 omg we are doomed!?!?!?! [05:30] RRU_Sciguy, so if i do this, i can run linux inside of windows and vice versa? [05:30] razor_: rsyslog provides syslogd ; there's many software projects that implement syslogd [05:30] lucent: no coincidence at all. it's binary ;) [05:30] enav: fun times !! [05:30] glithcd: not vice-versa [05:31] tensorpudding, i couldnt run windows in linux? [05:31] glithcd: tensorpudding is right. [05:31] hi yall can someone help me clone/copy my old hdd to a new hdd ? like step by step instructions :) [05:31] RRU_Sciguy, ok thx for the help [05:31] tensorpudding, thx for the help [05:31] ridz16: prefer clonezilla [05:31] RRU_Sciguy, tensorpudding enav ill jus stick to rebooting then [05:31] ridz16: I'm rather good at this, if you get stuck and need help please do ask me [05:31] do you remember those giant robot from Xmen, think about those robot with the ubuntu logo in the forehead vaporizating all humans in the way [05:31] RRU_Sciguy, tensorpudding enav fuck it [05:32] how do you pick what goes in chromes shortcut page ? is it a setting or what [05:32] !ot [05:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:32] RRU_Sciguy, tensorpudding enav now i have a question about ext4 in win7 [05:32] glithcd: only if you install windows on a vhd. if you use Wubi, you can have ubuntu on a vhd, and access all your windows files after booting into ubuntu [05:32] geekphreak, snikkerz yes and yes [05:32] RRU_Sciguy, tensorpudding enav any way to get win7 to understand and/or read/write to it? [05:32] glithcd: you wont see ext4 from within windows [05:32] ...ever. [05:33] glithcd: i don't even know what "RU_Sciguy" means [05:33] glithcd: not at the moment [05:33] geekphreak, no work around for it? [05:33] glithcd: there is a driver for ext3 [05:33] glithcd: i don;t have w7, but there is probably some program out there somewhere that can do it [05:33] . [05:33] which package must be require to install complete ubuntu gnome? [05:33] I think there is zero interest in unpaid work to write an ext4 extents driver for WinNT [05:33] glithcd: but i don't know if it supports ext4, or that it supports Windows 7 at all since I only used it on XP years ago [05:33] dhiry2k: ubuntu-desktop [05:33] dhiry2k, isn't it just ubuntu-desktop [05:33] yes [05:34] then which are those? [05:34] glithcd: Win is an selfish OSs that refuse to run any diferent from FAT, and NTFS [05:34] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:34] i have installed 10.10 base system [05:34] glithcd: is that what you wanted to asl? [05:34] geekphreak, asl? [05:34] glithcd: rather than linux, it just runs over a lot of format systems [05:34] i am not able to install xfce4 or lxde in armel [05:34] it shows no package [05:35] dhiry2k: have you done "sudo apt-get update" recently? [05:35] razor_: Your question 1: I do not know at once a specific answer. Depending on what specific message or state your syslog is to report about your router, you will need to instruct your master program to output a specific message to syslog. [05:35] rww yes [05:35] It is pretty damn hard to get Linux and Windows filesystems to work together anyway, because they use differnt models for permissions/ACL's [05:35] Anyone having issues with hibernation in the RC? [05:35] arthursucks, let me test :P [05:35] arthursucks: what kind of problems [05:36] glithcd: asl? [05:36] tensorpudding: i can access windows files from ubuntu with no problem [05:36] geekphreak, what the hell is asl? [05:36] !10.10 | arthursucks [05:36] arthursucks: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 10, 2010 - Maverick Release Candidate at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 , discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [05:36] I got a 'new' Eee PC 900sd and when it sleeps, it don't wake up. [05:36] can anyone help me with remote desktop viewer? i cant get it to connect. [05:36] pie_time: what is selected / not selected on destination system under "remote desktop preferences"? [05:36] geekphreak, im sure its simple but i cant think of it atm [05:36] RRU_Sciguy: Yes, but you don't have any way to respect Windows ACL's [05:36] pie_time: port forwarding done? [05:36] razor_: Your question 2: You will obtain statistics out of syslog by reading the file /var/log/syslog.1. [05:36] pie_time: and what are you using to connect to system, what OS are you connecting from. [05:37] geekphreak, no [05:37] thanks [05:37] razor_: Your question 2: You will obtain statistics out of syslog by reading the file /var/log/syslog.1. May be you grep it for a specific router-related string. [05:37] arthursucks: did you try pressing the power key? So far that is the only way I have found to wake it from suspended mode [05:37] For that matter, you might be able to mount an ext3 partition in Windows but permissions go out the window [05:37] luftikuss: thanks, I'm currently going through the /etc/rsyslog.conf to get it to recieve data [05:38] I'll try that. My old laptop woke with tapping the space, but that was like 3 years ago. Lol! I'll give it a try. THanks. [05:38] razor_: I wish you good luck. I have not done that before myself. [05:38] im outtie [05:38] thx for all the words of wisdom guys!! [05:39] tensorpudding: I wonder how long it will be before some overachiever finds some way to respect windows ACLs from Ubuntu XD [05:39] clonezilla looks cool, but i was hoping to clone/copy my old hdd to new hdd the ubuntu way [05:39] i really wouldn;t mind having that capability though [05:39] where do I find out how long a distro is going to be supported? [05:39] ridz16, you can probably use dd to do that... but not sure i'd trust it. [05:40] !eol | U-b-u-n-t-u [05:40] U-b-u-n-t-u: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [05:40] first link [05:40] thanks Ken8521 [05:40] that is a question that i made my selft long time ago... there is a way to see linux files from windowzzsz? [05:40] np :) [05:40] is there a good working ps3 emu? [05:40] someone told me this along time ago " from the livecd partition the new drive same as the old, then in terminal do "dd if=/dev/original_hdd of=/dev/new_hdd bs=512 conv=sync,noerror" and re-read that line 3 times to make sure you didnt get the drives backwards " [05:40] enav: ext3 yes, ext4 no [05:41] luftikuss: thanks, I'll give this a go and see how far i get [05:41] but how do i know if my drive is backward or not? [05:41] OddJoe: sounds highly doubtful [05:41] geekphreak: i guess i need to install some random program to do that [05:41] yip [05:41] OddJoe: Nothing .deb'ed AFAIK. [05:42] hmm ok, was wishfull thinking then. Was looking for a way to play gta:sa multiplayer [05:42] i am not updating to 10.10 , happy with 10.4 [05:42] OddJoe: As a rule of thumb, it requires about 10-100 times the processing power to emulate a game system that uses a specialized architecture [05:43] geekphreak, it's still not working [05:43] OddJoe: would take more resources to emu a ps3 than a pc really [05:43] pretty much actual game systems are dedicated computer to destroy the brain [05:43] OddJoe: emulating the Cell is probably not feasible now [05:43] ouch..even core i7's aren't 10x more powerful than ps3 lol [05:44] pie_time: where did you open ports, in router? [05:44] OddJoe: We do not have a PS1 emulator .deb'ed. Most likely it is for the firmware/own requirement but honestly I have not talked with anyone about it so IDK. [05:44] geekphreak, i have to open them there as well? [05:44] Even emulating the PS2 is hard. [05:44] pie_time: yup add ip and port [05:44] geekphreak, i opened them on the linux firewall firestarter [05:44] just take a look at the specs for the ps3, emulating that would take quite a bit of power http://ps3.ign.com/articles/614/614682p1.html [05:45] on router side you will need to config. it too [05:45] RRU_Sciguy: It would take a real smart person with a lot of spare time hehe [05:45] whats the difference in 10.04 and 10.04.1 [05:45] ok, thank you [05:45] U-b-u-n-t-u: .1 [05:45] rusivi, and a BEAST of a computer. [05:45] U-b-u-n-t-u, do we need to state the obvious? [05:46] "~$ dlocate fprintf; manpages-dev: /usr/share/man/man3/fprintf.3.gz" What does »manpages-dev« stand for and mean? [05:46] OddJoe I plunked around with the known PS1 emulator one sec let me get the link [05:46] ive never heard of 10.04.1 [05:46] !liveusbtools [05:46] until looking on the release site [05:46] I am using 10.04 [05:46] rusivi: would take a person who really has no social life [05:46] rusivi: ok [05:47] Anyone know why I've been getting this error during update attempts: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/adam/ppa-name/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [05:47] i m unable to create liveusb using unetbootin and live usb creator can any onehelp me ? [05:47] RRU_Sciguy: IDK if that is the case but I understand where your going with it. [05:47] shiftingcontrol: I've heard there's another report of difficulty making livecd onto USB storage, using a different tool [05:47] hehe I have a amd anthlon II x64 processer. [05:47] OddJoe: I tried both native Ubuntu & WINE'ing ePSXe -> http://www.epsxe.com [05:48] shiftingcontrol: try joining #ubuntu+1 I would like your help [05:48] OddJoe: With a processor like that, you'd probably not get decent performance emulating a PS2. [05:48] OddJoe: I have an economy line, dual-core integrated video laptop so it crashed either way and was not that motivated to chase the problem(s) down. [05:48] lucent:done i ve logged in [05:49] the topic of the day is gaming...ZZzzzz [05:49] enav :p [05:49] hehe [05:49] jk [05:49] the day when Valve release Steam and all their Games on Linux natively, is the day i dump windows.. [05:49] rusivi: ok thanks alot for your help and info. [05:49] in any case, you'd need some way of playing the PS3's Blu-ray discs on your computer [05:50] OddJoe: np, if you come up with anything getting it to work please let us know. [05:50] :) [05:50] krups: Steam is already available on Linux [05:50] isn't it? [05:50] i just think about that news i read some days ago that sais some random company is working to port DX10/11 on linux... that mean this channel is going to have 2 millions Kids asking: "how can i install HALO, Ho can i install COD4 bla bla bla" [05:50] Oh noes [05:51] tensorpudding: nope, there was talk of it, but it's died off.. [05:51] Oh, they cancelled it [05:51] well, they put it out for Mac [05:51] Well, you don't need that gaming. [05:51] now it's linux's turn [05:52] krups: Many of top line games are WINEable with equivalent experience and performance. [05:52] and what if I wanna play Portal while on Mac? [05:52] enav: hope there not bsod [05:52] lol [05:52] gah! not mac, linux [05:53] "bsod" ?? :-S [05:53] "blue screen of death" [05:53] blue scren of death with dx11/10 get it? [05:53] hoooo long time no hear about that one.... why you guys turture my mind again [05:53] macs have bsod/wsod "black screen of death or white screen of death" [05:54] lol you brought it up [05:54] blue screen of death = windows on a normal day....... [05:54] You know, we're still susceptible to a kernel panic, which is a BSOD, we just don't get a flashy screen... [05:54] my ubuntu never freeze [05:54] OddJoe: One benefit of WINE, if the program crashes, it tends not to crash your OS. [05:54] Can we take the non-Ubuntu-support comments to #ubuntu-offtopic, please? [05:55] I heard Windows allows you to custiomize the BSOD now. Any truth to that? [05:55] How can I change my download server in Software Sources? Because I can't get updates from ubutnu. It keeps saying "Failed to fetch" 404 [05:55] the only time I got a BSOD was when I tried to dual boot with Ubuntu in it's own partition [05:55] Andor: I heard it's over 9000 in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:55] rww: sowwy :d [05:55] rww we are chating about ubuntu stuff what is the problem? [05:55] hi. I upgraded to Meerkat this morning. and the system freezes for a second or two. The CPU graph stays still. mouse pointer doesn't move. nothing happens. but it gets back to normal after 2-3 seconds. what could be wrong? [05:55] I don't see a BSOD, I use GNU/Linux. Uptime of MONTHS. [05:55] geohacker: painful blockage [05:55] rusivi: thats very true. I might install gta:sa under wine and run it that way, but the only multiplayer for it is retarted on the pc. [05:56] enav: note the word "support" [05:56] geohacker: any dmesg errors? [05:56] lucent: haven't checked. let me see. 1 moment. [05:56] geohacker: sounds like it's just major sys files loading, tying up resources in the meantime [05:56] OddJoe: If you run gta:sa in WINE, under Ubuntu you cannot use multiplayer? [05:56] !ot [05:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:56] there you got [05:56] antIP: There should be a drop-down box in Software Sources on the left-most tab.. [05:57] lucent: psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio2/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away. I can see this [05:57] geohacker: hm, let's paste to paste.ubuntu.com website, the whole content of dmesg and I will look through also ? [05:57] \join #adomado [05:57] rusivi: the last I herd for multi-player you needed to have a mod like SA:MP or something....which is retarted. [05:58] sachin: its / [05:58] lucent: okay. 1 moment [05:58] Guys, my network manager tries to connect to an Access Point that doesn't exist on startup and resuming from suspend mode.. Any idea how to fix it? [05:58] Hi all. How can i set the preference for what happens when my laptop battery goes to critically low level? [05:59] dpac_: disable auto connect [05:59] dpac_: sounds harmless. You can instruct Network Manager about what connections to NOT connect to automatically [05:59] rww. I changed the download location to Server for the Unites States, and I'm still getting the same "Failed to Fetch" error. [05:59] blahdeblah" I believe that is under "power" [05:59] RRU_Sciguy: Looked there already [05:59] antIP: Do normal WWW sites in your web browser work? [05:59] No option for low battery [05:59] BladeMcCool: open screen saver manager and click on prower saving button [06:00] * blahdeblah looks again and finds it. [06:00] lucent: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/509257/ [06:00] geohacker: great will look now [06:00] rww: Yes, they do, and this problem has been happening for a few days. [06:00] RRU_Sciguy: I have put my dmesg here. can you take a look? http://paste.ubuntu.com/509257/ [06:00] * blahdeblah slaps his own head and thanks everyone for their attention [06:00] lucent RRU_Sciguy I've already deleted the connection from 'Network Connections' [06:00] ew, ext4 [06:00] ext4 , aint that bad [06:01] dpac_: deleting the connection just makes it auto-reconnect when it appears again [06:01] connections default to automatic reconnection [06:01] blahdeblah: power management, "on battery power" tab, 3rd line down reads "When battery power is critically low:" followed by a selection box [06:01] ...for reasons I cannot comprehend. [06:01] antIP: Close out of Software Sources and any package managers you have open, run "sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy" in the Terminal, copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, and link the page it creates here. [06:01] lucent: I did not remove the recommended to be removed packages. but chose to keep them. [06:01] what's bad about ext4 [06:02] lucent: Well, its an airport wifi and I am nowhere near it right now. In fact, its around 30 miles away. And I only go there like once in 6 months :/ [06:02] geohacker: what is this hesitation you notice? only on startup or is it more frequently [06:02] geohacker: sorry, i am not that in-depth into linux yet, only been using it for about a month [06:02] dpac_: right click network manager and make sure it does not auto-reconnect [06:02] lucent: frequent. happens now. even when i type. [06:02] how to perform a command for each file in directory? [06:02] geohacker: ouch [06:03] Lint01: ? [06:03] lint01 thats pretty specific, let me see... [06:03] lucent: Alright, thanks :) [06:03] geohacker: did it happen when booting livecd of the same distro? [06:03] hello everyone :) [06:03] Lint01: bash script perhaps? [06:03] lucent: I upgraded from Lucid. [06:03] when i ssh to a computer, where is ssh log?

[06:12] RRU_Sciguy: the "Compress..." option? [06:12] geekphreak: when i try to type the passwd to connect, i get an error as failed [06:12] zipp0: do this open terminal [06:12] because I have a hyper-threaded quad core, and 7 of the 8 "cores" are sitting idle, while 1 is pegged at 100% doing the compression.

[06:16] OneMillionDollar: yes, google earth runs fine on ubuntu [06:16] unless the hw is identical, then the installed drivers may not work [06:17] OneMillionDollar: ok not totally fine... depending on your graphics card you may need to grab Google Earth version 5.1 because 5.2 crashes for some [06:17] geekphreak: omg, i tried ssh to that server at 7:00 AM and 8:00AM but i can't see it in log file [06:17] maco, no, it outputs pieces of filenames with spaces :( [06:17] Lint01: pieces of filenames with spaces? [06:18] geekphreak: i tried ssh to that server in Oct 7, but i didn't exactly time [06:18] maco, yes, like a // file // name instead of "a file name" [06:18] geekphreak: i mean in Oct 7, i connected from external interface [06:18] fil e1.doc is an example I think [06:18] ok [06:18] i can't see the google earth version [06:18] Lint01: ahh ok. you use spaces. in that case you probably need to use "find" instead of ls, since it has an option to split differently [06:19] anyway i just install and see [06:19] please, can someone help me? [06:19] zipp0: afaik logs are created on server side, so log of you connecting to someone else ssh server, would be there not on your pc [06:19] how to tell find not to recurse?

[06:38] use adobe air [06:38] shiftingcontrol: see the pen drive? [06:39] Blue1: That's if the flash drive is not plugged in [06:39] Is there a cli network management tool?

[06:52] Blue1: Wait... do you want me to show you what I'm getting, or are you getting the idea [06:52] geekphreak: It seems like the nm-tool only tells us the current available networks and no feature to connect/disconnect to a certain network??

[07:08] !puregnome | ChrisBuchholz [07:08] ChrisBuchholz: 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 [07:08] ChrisBuchholz: you wana remove linux or just kubuntu package? [07:09] test [07:09] failed [07:09] Scunizi: I'm mean tonight, sorry for my actions just then. [07:09] xangua: thanks [07:09] hello [07:09] 中文 ？ [07:10] hi rudy__ [07:10] !cn | kning [07:10] lucent: I had caught that .. no worries.. [07:10] kning: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [07:10] geekphreak: just kubuntu and its dependencies. I'd like my gnome back without all those kde apps :P [07:10] kning, #ubuntu-cn [07:10] why doesn't Fallout 1 work under wine [07:10] ChrisBuchholz: ok [07:10] bazhang: howdy [07:10] rudy__, it does [07:10] well then h ow come it shows me the "please stand by" and then just exits to the dekstop [07:11] it doesn't actually load the game [07:11] it just exits out [07:11] no error messag [07:11] rudy__: kind of veering off-topic, should ask WINE people not Ubuntu, or discuss on Ubuntu forums for gamers [07:11] this IRC is maybe not the best place to discuss? [07:13] where's the ubuntu forum for gamers [07:13] rudy__: www.ubuntuforums.org .. register .. look for the link [07:14] rudy__, works here. check #winehq [07:14] hey! I am having trouble with Rhythmbox, can anyone help me with it? [07:15] relatively new to using linux in desktop scenarios. so I've downloaded elicpse.tar.gz and opened it in the archive manager, since this isnt an apt-get install I wondering what the best place to extract to (best practice)? [07:16] mattcodes: and why aren't you using apt? [07:16] mattcodes: maybe /usr/src [07:16] why not install from repository mattcodes¿ [07:17] because I want the version for JS development (there are several eclipse packages) I dont think the repositories will have these builds? [07:17] mattcodes: I'd extract it in my $HOME normally. [07:17] or is there a simple way to check? [07:17] !checkinstall | mattcodes this is a good idea [07:17] mattcodes this is a good idea: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [07:18] /usr/src seems to have linux headers in it. maybe /usr/local/eclipse? [07:18] anyone? help with rhythmbox? [07:18] or /usr/local/src [07:19] titan-ark: ask a question other then .. help [07:19] Scunizi, okay. well all of a sudden after a reboot it does not show me radio or add stations! [07:20] tried googling couldn find anything. [07:20] titan-ark: perhaps someone else can answer that one.. most of the time I'm on kde and use amorak .. use it on gnome too. [07:20] titan-ark: you may try reinstalling 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall rhythmbox' [07:21] lucent, i tried uninstall and install but its the same :( [07:22] Scunizi, okay :) thank you [07:22] hello === tt is now known as Guest20815 [07:24] titan-ark: I can't find where the presets are stored === dave is now known as Guest13400 [07:26] i need a gui music player with ability to cut cue files and convert on the fly [07:26] lucent, Thanks for trying. this is how rhythmbox is turning up for me http://imagebin.org/117696 [07:28] titan-ark: I think it might all be in gconf [07:29] Alright boys, time for some tequila shots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [07:30] titan-ark: other thing, open rhythmbox, click edit /plugins, make sure it is enabled [07:30] I hope it's not Jose Q. you'll end up praying to the porcelin gods [07:31] Scunizi: El Espolon! [07:32] lucent, well I am a linux noob, I dunno how to play with gconf :P [07:32] I'm pro, and it's still dizzying [07:33] titan-ark: gconf-editor is a UI tool, could try that. It's possible to break your configuration in fascinating never before imagined ways with that tool [07:33] geekphreak, my plugins tab shows this: http://imagebin.org/117698 [07:33] dont seem internet radio! [07:34] titan-ark: just enable all ;) [07:34] titan-ark: in your home directory there is probably a hidden file for rhythmbox.. rename that and restart the app and see if it acts they way it use to.. [07:34] titan-ark: then apt-get it !! [07:34] titan-ark: look in synaptic, there is a plugin for it there [07:35] lucent, geekphreak, okay shall try em one by one :) [07:35] Hi, I'm using openbox, but want to use the dual screen utility of gnome. Does anybody know how the package is called? [07:35] titan-ark: apt-get install rhythmbox-radio-browser [07:35] Ubuntu Free Chat room please??????????

[07:44] I know I'm using RC1, i was just wondering if someone knew a fix to that [07:44] DexterLB: unlikely that is even possible. [07:45] uLinux do you know how to fix that? [07:45] DexterLB, write a perl script that uses synaptics log [07:45] hi, does somebody use epson stylus d92? Does it work?

[07:52] Syria: compiz shortcuts are "more important" than your other shortcuts [07:52] i appreciate the response, but maybe if you don't mind wouldnt mind helping me move the fil?

I mean you can export the settings in one click only. [07:55] D3luSi0n4L: location is ~/Download and you want it in /usr/share/pixmaps/faces right? [07:55] d3 [07:55] ya [07:55] Syria: hours to make compiz work, then remove shortcuts, export, send to you [07:55] the file is husk,jpg in my download folder [07:55] it's not set up here like you want [07:55] usr/share/pixmaps/faces [07:55] is where i need it to go [07:55] D3luSi0n4L: ok.. sudo cp ~/Download /usr/share/pixmaps/faces [07:55] D3luSi0n4L: sorry.. mistake [07:56] lucent: No dude give me the same settings you are using now. [07:56] no file? [07:56] DexterLB: Though that seems to include anything that's a symlink. Let me try to refine it. [07:56] D3luSi0n4L: ok.. sudo cp ~/Download/husk.jpg /usr/share/pixmaps/faces [07:56] but at ubuntu we have xCHM to read this file,i'm sorry im newbie, i think i can created also at my ubuntu,thanks guy [07:56] lucent: I am not that rude to ask you for this. :$ [07:56] awesome [07:56] Syria: anyhow simple-cssm is the program for you [07:56] ty ill try it now [07:56] Jordan_U: some of my scripts are symlinks [07:56] good luck Syria [07:56] in the terminal right?

[07:57] is it download or downloads? [07:57] DexterLB: That's going to make things difficult. The command I gave can help you greatly narrow down the possibilities. [07:57] rww: everybody is sleeping:P [07:57] it shows download in my directory tree [07:58] D3luSi0n4L: sorry downloads [07:58] DexterLB: Do the symlinks happen to be all be to a particular directory? [07:58] uLinux , they are Not exactly, but acting so :) [07:58] mostly [07:58] hmm still [07:58] i can isolate most of them [07:58] cannot stat ~ home/****/downloads/husk.jpg [07:59] D3luSi0n4L: are you typing "home" as well as using ~? [07:59] How can I change the main screen with xrandr, i.e. the one with the panel? [08:00] nope just - sudo cp ~/downloads/husk.jpg /usr/share/pixmaps/faces [08:00] * DexterLB has an idea... [08:00] oooh [08:00] its "Husk.jpg" not husk.jpg [08:00] D3luSi0n4L: capital D on downloads [08:00] maybe case-sensative? [08:00] ok [08:00] yes case sensitive [08:00] DexterLB: This should have many fewer false positives, though there are still some like /usr/bin/[. [08:01] DexterLB: for file in /usr/bin/*; do target=$(readlink -f $file); if ! dpkg -S $target > /dev/null 2>&1; then echo $file; fi; done [08:01] hmm no error, lemme see if it worked [08:01] D3luSi0n4L: linux is case sensitive. it's also dealing with file names without spaces.. if you need a space use an underscore [08:01] Okay, I guess Il just stick to grooveshark or shoutcast for now. Need to get back to work :( Thanks for your help Scunizi, lucent, geekphreak [08:01] Scunizi: ok awesome, thank you it worked and thanks for the tips [08:02] Scunizi: what time should we expect final release? its 10.10 here now but i imagine during the day? [08:02] D3luSi0n4L: must be tired.. that last scentence didn't make any sense.. It's hard dealing with spaces in files names.. use an underscore instead.. [08:02] D3luSi0n4L: just keep updating it.. release date is scheduled for 10.10.10 [08:02] ok just [08:02] update-manager -d [08:02] correct? [08:03] Jordan_U: that was what I was going to come up with but in a slightly different syntax [08:03] Jordan_U: it works thanks [08:03] D3luSi0n4L: no.. update, upgrade, dist-upgrade.. as long as you're already on 10.10.. for 10.04 look in the upgrade manager for the trigger [08:03] DexterLB: You're welcome. [08:03] morning [08:04] hmm ok ill probably just check later to see if its released [08:04] hi guys, I'm trying to setup ntp to sync my time using a cronjob.. would this command /usr/sbin/ntpd -q -u ntp:ntp be suitable to update? [08:04] ill brb, gotta log off and see if putting the image in faces worked [08:06] oO, why is 10.10 lacking aptitude? :O [08:06] I mean in the default install of course [08:06] !pendrive [08:07] hmm === jesus is now known as Guest60148 [08:07] no luck still on login page both accounts show default user image? =/ [08:07] any guesses anyone?

Could someone help me with: How do I check how many blocks my hdd have. The bad blocks that badblocks marks, are these going to be recognized by the filesystem that I put on the disk at a later time?

[08:14] hope you have backups. [08:14] hola [08:15] lucent, nah, no problem. Its a clean disk. I just bought it. So I should get it exchanged instead for a new one by the company I bought it from? === santhu is now known as santhu1984 [08:16] ... instead of trying to mark the blocks as bad in the filesystem. [08:16] good morning..i'm having troubles with flash player in chrome.. sometimes the flash videos goes white.. and i have to restart browser to make it working again..any clue? [08:16] Guest60148: bad blocks indicates a transport level corruption issue (bad cable, kernel driver, etc.) or your harddisk is bad [08:16] neither are reasonable to "work around" using baddblocks marking [08:17] drives contain extra spare blocks not accessible from linux based utils, you need the mfg utility [08:17] basically from experience I'm suggesting that this is a lower level issue than can be addressed by Ubuntu OS space :) [08:18] lucent: I will look that up thanks [08:18] what does the --prefix=/usr/local/... signifiy when used with ./configure?

To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [08:39] bazhang: so, practically all i have to do is install the rc and upgrade it [08:39] xorger, normal install, update it etc and you will be final [08:39] yes?

[08:41] bullgard4: /var/lib/dlocate/* ? not sure [08:42] sikilpaake: because you keep timing out and nobody saw iut [08:42] it ** [08:42] rww do you have an answer for me_ [08:42] ?

[08:43] no idea, but congrats, it actually made it to the channel this time [08:43] cxpm144: he said the files remained [08:43] rww: does the same thing happen to you? [08:43] Bc you have more that one kernel installed [08:43] xo954ox: i have not intentionally installed more kernels [08:44] sikilpaake: are you dual-booting? [08:44] no [08:44] i want to [08:44] but there are all these instances of different kernels in grub, and they are annoying as fook [08:44] Updates autoinstall them.

[08:48] xo954ox: or what [08:48] Yea [08:49] Blue1: thanks [08:49] If you don't want the old kernels showing u can remove the via janitor [08:50] xo954ox: when you said "janitor" you meant "computer janitor"? [08:50] hallo [08:50] only old version of ment works on my old school dell all my other computers seem to be hardwired internaly to crash it like microsoft has incorporated a anti linux feature [08:50] mint [08:50] Then open terminal and type sudo update-grub [08:50] Yea [08:50] moin [08:50] i [08:50] xo954ox: yeah, but computer-janitor didn't find anything concerning grub [08:51] xo954ox: or extra kernels [08:51] sikilpaake: compare output of "dpkg -l '*linux-image*'|grep ^ii" with "uname -r" and use apt-get remove to get rid of unused old kernels [08:52] Oh well try that grub command. Bc uless you update it they will still show even if they aren't there [08:52] xo954ox: ok, great.. thanks [08:52] llutz: thanks, too [08:54] Bonjour [08:55] !fr | pascal_ [08:55] pascal_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

Max size should be under 2GB (cuz It'd be on a pendrive). As far as I know ithis can be done with ffmpeg. How do i do that? [12:00] jatt, thanks.. [12:00] my firefox is named namoraka , after an update.. how can i change this ? [12:00] you are using a beta software. [12:00] Papyros [12:00] i made a script to open in xterm and hold "xterm - hold ~/filetoopen" but i cannot add a syntax to that app after like this, "xterm - hold ~/filetoopen -c configuration.xml" how do i do that? [12:00] Zyx, how can i change this ? [12:01] i get an error [12:01] zyx, can i change this ? [12:01] Papyros, downgrade your firefox to an older version. [12:01] zyx, how can i do it ? will a lost any data? [12:02] rappyneedshelp_: change your script into "xterm - hold ~/filetoopen $@" to use commandline-options [12:03] when ubuntu 10.10 will be avaiable to download? [12:03] Papyros, how did you install firefox? From the mozilla repo, or official? [12:03] Uberfaja: tomorrow [12:03] i mean, what hour? [12:03] Uberfaja: when its done [12:03] yeah, makes sense [12:03] zyx, with an update of repos.. i have the repos in my /apt/sources.list [12:03] zyx: I don't know about ffmpeg, but you can do this with menocder. see http://www.howforge.com/how-to-convert-avi-to-wmv-by-mencoder [12:04] Uberfaja: try at 10:10 :) [12:04] lol'd [12:04] 10:10 10/10/10 [12:04] srisimil, thanks. <3 [12:05] anyone?

[12:06] thx for help, gotta wait patiently :) [12:06] Papyros, no you shouldn't, but make a backup, just in case. I advice using Mozilla sync to store you bookmarks in the cloud [12:07] Papyros data is stored in your .mozilla folder and is not tied to the application [12:07] dns53, ok thanks.. [12:08] zyx, thanks [12:08] i have the problem listed here (no more admin-rights for user, rights come back for 1 reboot after gksu users-admin) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1573897 . Any pointers to a permanent fix? [12:10] pumpkin so your problem is your current user does not have admin rights? was it the first account created when you installed ubuntu? [12:10] how can i remove /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd? [12:11] dns53, yes. first and only account. sudo works, mounting via gnome or shutdown via gnome does not. [12:11] it was uninstalled but the entry is there [12:11] uLinux: sudo aptitude remove openbsd-inetd [12:11] dns53, the user is in the admin-group. [12:12] llutz_: it wasnt removed :s [12:12] whats that command update -rc [12:13] uLinux: update-rc.d but that only affects links to /etc/rc*.d not /etc/init.d scripts [12:13] llutz_: so if the app is uninstalled can i just delete the script? [12:13] uLinux: yes, how did you remove the app? [12:13] i'm getting an error when I use sudo apt-get update in maverick....http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/RyEnhgEQ [12:14] llutz_: apt-get remove app --purge [12:14] I'm not really sure what to do with this. [12:14] is there a command in the terminal that would allow me to see what internet address is being streamed...Im trying to grab the url to put in rythmbox....i m listening to a radio station but it pops it up in a flash controled window [12:14] uLinux: the init-script should have been removed too by dpkg.... [12:14] ugliefrog: netstat -tulpen [12:14] ugliefrog: or lsof -i [12:14] pumpkin users-admin does not work well with sudo, run it normally, it will allow you do anything requiring admin permissions [12:14] llutz_: it gave an error cause identd user was logged [12:15] llutz, ill give a try rhanks === richih-- is now known as testaccount4711_ [12:16] llutz_: i installed it again and removed :) [12:16] zFriar it is still under development and your mirror only has a partial copy of the ubutu repository. your mirror is probably in the middle of a copy. wait 10-20 minutes and run apt-get update again [12:16] the entry is gone [12:16] dns53, no, it does not work anymore for me. But i found the bug on launchpad: it is marked criticaln and open since start 2010. 10.10 has a fix. [12:17] How do I put Empathy icon on my upper GNOME panel?

I installed and set it up as per instructions, however, whenever I try to connect, I get a message telling me that the password is incorrect (which it isn't - I'm entering the correct password for the user). I've looked online and this seems to be a prevalent problem, but none of the fixes seem to work. Can anyone help? [12:19] pachoulya, I would try gtkpod. but it depends on what version of iphone. [12:20] model or firmware? [12:20] pachoulya, you can get gtkpod from synaptic. just search for it. It works for me with my ipod touch, but it is an old version. [12:20] pachoulya, I believe it depends on the firmware. [12:20] anyone know of any cross platform mesh network programs [12:20] !ipod > pachoulya [12:21] pachoulya, please see my private message [12:21] sniperjo_: define "mesh network programs" [12:21] !ipod > Friar [12:21] Friar, please see my private message [12:21] Hi, how do I display the Ubuntu version from the command line? [12:21] erUSUL: Mesh network client [12:21] timh: cat /etc/issue [12:21] sniperjo_: p2p ? [12:22] !version | timh [12:22] timh: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [12:22] Lord`Saladin: grep local_enable /etc/vsftpd.conf [12:22] erUSUL: No, type of wifi setup === drcooper is now known as do0d [12:22] qrw6531: thanks [12:22] sniperjo_: ok; network manager can not connect to it? [12:22] llutz: I have that enabled. [12:23] erUSUL: basically its where each computer in the network acts as a repeater for others to join [12:23] omg 1338 users [12:23] i can not connect to password protected ad-hoc networks created by windows machine from ubuntu [12:24] i can not connect to password protected ad-hoc networks created by windows machine from ubuntu. why is that [12:24] I have an up-to-date 8.04.4 host w/ ghostscript issues around particular PDF files. my 10.04.1 host doesn't have the same problems. Is there a way to upgrade imagemagick + ghostscript to the 10.0.4 versions w/o having to upgrade the entire 8.04 distro? [12:24] wtf [12:25] Lord`Saladin: /etc/pam.d/vsftpd exists and is enabled too? [12:25] sniperjo_: there is a upcoming standard for wlan mesh networking (802.11s), which is supported by *some* wlan drivers. i don't know if any windows / mac os / whatever driver already supports it. [12:25] timh: you can though it's usually not recommended [12:25] i can not connect to password protected ad-hoc networks created by windows machine from ubuntu. why is that [12:26] qrw6531: ah, i thought the standard was already "set" [12:26] * pksadiq is feeling bored *now* [12:26] sniperjo_: maybe, i didn't check for quite a while [12:26] How do I stop "ping localhost" from pinging localhost :D [12:26] timh: you'd have to add lucid mirrors for the time of the upgrade, upgrade only the packages you need to, and then remove the lucid mirrors [12:26] llutz_: Yeah. [12:26] sms ctrl-c [12:27] Great thanks [12:27] installed 10.04 on my new laptop. Sound isn't working aplay -l lists an intel HDA generic device and a ATI HDMI audio device. Anyone know of a guide for getting this working? [12:27] glebihan: okay, those packages are going to pull a tonne of dependencies. i presume that that is considered high risk. [12:27] Lord`Saladin: anything related in the logs? /var/log/auth.log /var/log/vsftpd.log [12:27] I am getting Google Earth crash with the following message, any ideas - Google Earth could not write to the current cache or My Places file location. The values will be set as follows: [12:27] My Places Path: "/home/adrian/.googleearth" [12:27] Cache Path: "/home/adrian/.googleearth/Cache" [12:27] I think that this channel will be upgraded to official 10.10 within a week, isn't it? [12:27] timh: well yes, if there are a lot of dependencies, it may break some other packages [12:28] pksadiq: likely tomorrow [12:28] llutz_: :( [12:28] hi [12:28] qrw6531: sounds like a silly question, but do i need to use 802.11s ? i am sure i have seen stuff for mesh networks with current standards/harware === andrea is now known as Guest21767 [12:28] hammer [12:28] Guest21767: Hi [12:29] :) [12:29] sniperjo_: maybe you mean ad-hoc mode. but that is very crappy. [12:29] hey guys, i can't autostart a script on boot, i want it to be the last thing to start on boot, how can i do that? [12:29] qrw6531: crappy in terms of what ? data rate ? reliability ? [12:29] sniperjo_: reliability [12:29] glebihan: okay, thanks for the information. I think we'll need to create a new linode instance w/ 10.04. [12:30] anybody been running the beta for 10.10, is it any good [12:30] Acne: /etc/rc.local ? [12:30] #toronto [12:30] RadioHam: #ubuntu+1 [12:30] I am now gettijng the message "the bookmarks and history system will not be available..." when I start firefox - how do I fix this [12:30] qrw6531: would ad-hoc self heal? [12:30] sniperjo_: plus, ad-hoc mode doesn't do any forwarding. you would have to use a routing protocol. [12:30] Acne what does the script do? [12:30] is there any italian here? [12:30] open up an application in a new xterm window [12:30] sniperjo_: mesh networking does all the forwarding/reachability checks in the wireless driver stack [12:30] !it [12:30] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [12:31] an application i open with ./myapp command in the terminal [12:31] psadik? sei italiano? [12:31] llutz_: In auth.log it's telling me that /etc/shells /etc/securetty and /etc/ftpusers are 'either world writeable or not a normal file' [12:31] so the script inside is this [12:31] one sec [12:31] is the new release due out tomorrow worth upgrading to? [12:31] this is the only line [12:31] xterm -hold /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 & [12:31] Guest21767: No [12:31] glebihan: is there a comfortable way to upgrade 8.04 to 10.04? [12:31] ok :) sorry [12:31] sniperjo_: ad-hoc can only link machines which are all in physical range of all others [12:32] timh you need to go through intermediate releases but you can do it [12:32] Guest21767: dont care [12:32] llutz_: What permission should they be? [12:32] timh: you can do it with synaptic [12:32] sniperjo_: and ad-hoc is limited to 11mbit [12:32] any clue dns53 ? [12:32] timh: I think there should be, as both are LTS releases, though I never did that so I'm not sure [12:32] timh 8.04 > 10.04 > 10.10 [12:32] qrw6531: yeah that was what i though, so i need to use a mesh network [12:32] what would be the total size of files to be downlowaded to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10? [12:33] erUSUL, what are the advantages of the new release? [12:33] where are you from guys? [12:33] pksadiq: depends on what you have installed [12:33] sniperjo_: yes. but i don't have any idea if non-linux systems already support that. [12:33] dns53: he doesn't want 10.10 but 10.04 so I think one step only will be needed [12:33] it's my first time here, i forgot how using a public chat is :D [12:33] is it a major revamp or just a few updates? [12:33] erUSUL: If mine is a fresh install of 10.04, then? [12:33] pksadiq: more than 700 MiB for sure [12:34] glebihan: thanks for your suggestions, RTFMing now. [12:34] qrw6531: if i needed to use windows i guess i could do something real dirty like emulate linux on virtual box and connect them with a virtual interface [12:34] erUSUL: So I think better to download the ISO, or order a CD :), having 50 kbps :D [12:34] Acne so to start when that user logs in? system > preferences > startup applications [12:34] pksadiq: i usually dwonload the alternatecd via torrent and use it to upgrade that way direct dwonload is less [12:34] timh: you're welcome, have fun :) [12:35] glebihan oops i missed that [12:35] not able to activate flymake-mode in emacs...on trying to activate it...no buildfile found is returned [12:35] ok i'll try that [12:35] pksadiq: only the alternatecd can be used that way [12:35] however [12:36] erUSUL: If I try to download, The next stable will be released before the download is complete [12:36] !final | pksadiq [12:36] pksadiq: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Maverick Meerkat and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Maverick. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [12:37] the script runs this line and it works (xterm -hold /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686) but if i want to add commands afterwards it gives me an error, like this (xterm -hold /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -C config.cfg). How do i add the -C config.cfg so it will recognize it? [12:37] Acne: use quotes around the whole command [12:38] guys...just a suggestion..I'm not sure...i gotta connect via ssh from my office to my home computer [12:38] but my home computer /the server/ is behind a nat router [12:38] quotes around everything or just this (/home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -c config.cfg) [12:38] becuase i did the last and it didn't work [12:38] how can i get there? [12:38] quotes only around the command i want to run [12:39] qrw6531: would that work ? [12:39] Acne: use single quotes or this: ` [12:39] Acne write a script ie put what you want in a text file and mark it to be executable and not bother passing xterm command line arguments [12:39] sniperjo_: you cannot give wireless cards into virtual machines [12:39] dns53: i want it to output the information on a terminal window, thats why i did it that way, is there another way? [12:40] sniperjo_: and just routing or bridging to them will not use them as mesh points [12:40] help please [12:40] sniperjo_: mesh functionality must be done by the driver that is using the wireless card [12:40] qrw6531: ah ok [12:40] Acne: I think using the following command should work : xterm -hold -e /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -C config.cfg [12:41] what is the command to install to hd in text-mode? [12:41] i'll try, thanks [12:41] hi All [12:42] sniperjo_: if the wireless card is usb and you can force the host system not to use it, you can give it into the virtual machine and use it in the guest system [12:42] hi [12:42] Acne just create a text file with the contents: /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -C config.cfg so the command will get the right arguments, i think: xterm -hold -e "/home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -C config.cfg" should also work [12:43] qrw6531: Basically i have about 20 machines which are spaced far enough apart so that each machine can see either machine beside it but no other ones and i need to join them to a network. The machines might not always be in the same order... Thats a self healing wireless mesh network scenario right ? [12:43] i hve installed ubuntu 10.04 from CD, but i am not liking left corner buttons like close, max,min, of every window i open. I want them to be usual way, can any one help me to configure that? [12:43] Shtl: Change the theme [12:43] sniperjo_: yes [12:44] qrw6531: would anything else work ? [12:44] pksadiq: even then also its not changing [12:44] in theme it shows but actual window is same again [12:44] whats the command in the terminal to know the name of the harddisk? [12:45] sniperjo_: only the crappy ad-hoc solution, but you need something like olsrd for the routing protocol. dunno if that exists in windows. [12:45] ljsoftnet: df or fdisk [12:45] hi all in one of my friends laptop the http_proxy variable is automatically [12:45] set [12:45] Shtl: install emerald [12:45] let me check [12:45] how can i remove the value from the http_proxy variable [12:45] Where can I look for some usable logs if suspend isn't working? ;> (10.10) [12:46] ranjan: run in a terminal "http_proxy=" [12:46] Kuba: you have been told multiple times 10.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 [12:46] ok i made that text, but can i make an icon on the desktop to run that script? [12:46] ikonia: nope, this is the first time [12:46] qrw6531: i thought in adhoc, all computers need to be within range of eachother ? [12:46] ikonia: but thanks [12:46] Shtl can u just give me the command to list all partition [12:46] pksadiq: no, is it necessary? [12:47] sniperjo_: not if you add olsr (routing protocol) [12:47] ryokea: i used the command unset http_proxy is there any mistake in that? [12:47] ljsoftnet: sudo fdisk -l [12:47] ljsoftnet: fdisk -l [12:47] Acne: use a symbolic link or a .desktop file [12:47] Shtl: I don't think so, I just changed some theme and it got corrected [12:47] ranja: nah, unset should work as well [12:47] pksadiq: let me check after installing emerald [12:47] sniperjo_: olsrd is a routing daemon that announces reachability information by sending udp packets [12:48] Acne: reght click on desktop and create Launcher [12:48] pksadiq: i did that, but it won't open it up, i think it opens it up and closes immediately [12:48] right* [12:48] sniperjo_: and depending on the information in receives from other olsrd, it adds/removes routing entries [12:48] glebihan: what is a symbolic link? [12:49] Acne: a 'shortcut' to a file or folder [12:49] qrw6531: ah ok, so that would be a slow datarate [12:49] ryokea: but it will get unset for some time then again its shows the proxy value again :( [12:49] Acne: is it a shell script? [12:49] how do i do that, i only know of right click at desktop and create launcher, but that doesn't work [12:49] ranjan: have you checked to make sure a proxy isn't set in the system settings === Nwab is now known as Benwa [12:49] sniperjo_: yeah. and ad-hoc mode is not very well implemented in some drivers. [12:49] qrw6531: would adhoc on an N network still be 11mbit [12:50] i'm not sure, the only thing in that script is this: /home/mouris/canaldigital/canaldigital.i686 -c config.cfg [12:50] sniperjo_: yes, ad-hoc is specified for 11mbit only [12:50] Acne: better use a .desktop file, here is an example one, save it to your desktop and edit it to put the correct label and icon : http://paste.ubuntu.com/509400/ [12:50] cool, thanks glebihan [12:50] ranjan: click system -> preferences -> network settings, click on direct connection to internet [12:50] Acne: you're welcome [12:51] Hi. Is there a way to edit exif metadata for images? [12:52] ryokea: that also not woring :( [12:52] what might be the problem :( [12:52] exiftran - transform digital camera jpeg images [12:53] actually i am able to browse internet [12:53] natrixnatrix89: several exif tools in the repos I see [12:53] So i can manually edit the data or only see the data? [12:53] exiv2 - EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation tool [12:53] thanks [12:53] yes to both.. :) depending on the tool [12:54] lets ssee [12:54] ranjan: odd [12:54] apt-cache search exif [12:54] shows several dozen tools. [12:54] nothing [12:54] so are they mainly cmd line or also some with gui> [12:55] look at the list. I see some of each.

[13:08] ikonia: 10.04 dekstop GNOME [13:08] I perfer weechat. [13:08] MrStein: it's certainly a part of it then [13:08] somebody please help me [13:08] EvilCoder: time to check its docs i guess.. ive never heard of it. [13:09] irssi is a CLI chat i'm using [13:09] Do I need to disable my video hardware? [13:09] Dr_Willis : thank you. [13:09] !help | sreeju [13:09] sreeju: 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. :-) [13:09] Killaklown: try alt-ctrl-f1 see if you get to a console. [13:09] Dr_Willis: ok and if so then ? [13:09] whatever, I'm off to do what I booted the PC for... [13:09] bye [13:09] ok [13:09] Dr_Willis: sorry actually I tried that... [13:10] Dr_Willis: monitor is completely dead [13:10] i have installed cario dock, but a black background comes to it [13:10] Dr_Willis: i'm using a nvidia 5200 [13:10] how to remove it? [13:10] i am using a gtx 285 video card [13:10] sreeju you dond have compozition enabled most likely [13:11] hey, my thunderbird on ubuntu isn't showing the feed-summaries properly anymore since today. only a bunch of links. Does anyone know what this might be about? [13:11] I think I basically need to just reset my video settings to when I first installed [13:11] I have only been using ubuntu for like 2 weeks [13:11] i ain't using thunderbird. i am using the gmail web interface [13:11] so what to do? [13:12] bibi: then why are you commenting on it ? [13:12] blist [13:12] ups [13:12] i dunno [13:12] bibi: then don't [13:12] hi guys how to create a new patrition ? [13:12] grigoriades: gparted is a useful tool [13:12] not able to activate flymake-mode in emacs...on trying to activate it...no buildfile found is returned [13:12] grigoriades: sudo cfdisk /dev/sdX [13:12] google for gparted live cd [13:12] sreeju: go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager to uninstall cairo [13:12] can someone please help me with fixing this blank monitor [13:12] killakklown: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to reconfigure your video settings [13:13] Killaklown: you did have a working system then you installed the nvidia drivers? or has it ever worked? [13:13] but i need Dock [13:13] Dr_Willis: yeah I install nvidia drivers and it worked fine for like a few days [13:13] Dr_Willis: had it up just idling yesterday.. when I came back it was blank ever since [13:13] Dr_Willis: rebooted a few times since... still same issue [13:13] Killaklown: theres a 'text' option you can give the grub menu, or the recovery option that should let you get to a console, where you can try to fix things. [13:14] Dr_Willis: i'm in recovery now [13:14] Killaklown: yiou dont have a tv plugged into the tv out do you or any other monitors? [13:14] Dr_Willis: no other monitors [13:14] sreeju: do try ALT + F2 and type compyz --replace and press enter [13:15] anyone know other dock? [13:15] sreeju: do try ALT + F2 and type compiz --replace and press enter [13:15] sreeju: theres several of them in the packlage manager repositories.. [13:15] ok let me try [13:15] Hi here. [13:15] Why does Xorg takes over 30% of my CPU ? [13:16] Killaklown: as a test you could run 'startx' and see if any errors show up, or if it works. You have any other pcs on your home network you can ssh from, to get to the linux box? [13:16] sreeju open /etc/x11/xorg.conf and check if you have something like this Section "Extensions" [13:16] Option "Composite" "Enable" [13:16] EndSection [13:16] blue112: some effects can be quite demanding on some graphics cards, and the onboard CPU can be kept quite busy [13:16] blue112: disable compiz effects, see if it calms down [13:16] ikonia, I don't have any effects enabled. [13:16] Dr_Willis: thats not the issue... I can get to a screen to repair stuff [13:16] Dr_Willis: secondly ... my screen goes blank [13:17] Dr_Willis: I think when X11 tries to start [13:17] blue112: what video card do you have ? [13:17] ikonia, and all I'm doing is chatting on IRC and whatching top [13:17] Dr_Willis: right now im' in recoveyr [13:17] Dr_Willis: recovery mode [13:17] ikonia, VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series] [13:17] Dr_Willis: therefore I cant run "startx" [13:17] blue112: try metacity --replace to stop compiz and check the CPU [13:17] pksadiq, compiz isn't abled [13:17] enabled* [13:18] blue112: are you using the ati propritary drivers, from the system->administration->hardware drivers ? [13:18] how can i determine my vpn connection is encrypted or not [13:18] ? [13:18] Dr_Willis: wait... I think I know ... whats the option in grub to boot just to text? [13:18] ikonia, how can I know ? [13:18] Dr_Willis: no X11 [13:18] blue112: go to the tool I've just said and look if they are enabled or not [13:18] Killaklown: i thougt the recovery console was no X... [13:18] ikonia, ok. [13:18] Killaklown: theres a 'text' optink you can type in/edit the grub menu to use also [13:18] Dr_Willis: yeah no X but... I'll boot normally like you say [13:18] Dr_Willis: with text only [13:18] ikonia, yep, it's enabled [13:19] And glxinfos says "direct rendering: Yes" [13:19] Killaklown: so you are using X right now? [13:19] blue112: I wonder if that's the issue then, [13:19] Dr_Willis: lol ...no right now I booted in to "recovery mode" at grub menu [13:19] Killaklown: sop what are you using right now then? You can IRC from the console ya know.. :) [13:19] Dr_Willis: what I will do is boot normally with the "text" [13:20] Dr_Willis: i'm on irssi in recovery mode [13:20] Killaklown: you can use 'text' then run 'startx' and I THOUGHT you could also do same thing with the recovery option. [13:20] what does .chm means? what type of file? which application i will use to open this type of file? [13:20] ikonia, then, what should I do ? [13:20] If X isent running.. then you should be able to 'startx' [13:20] blue112: try disabling it [13:20] ikonia, O_o ? [13:20] coolroot: its a MS help file format. [13:20] blue112: use the basic drivers instead [13:20] ikonia, basic drivers lags. [13:20] Dr_Willis: ok thanks.. i'll go do that now and then come back === _angel is now known as angelcek [13:20] coolroot: theres several chm viewers in the repos [13:20] coolbhavi google "open .chm linux" [13:20] ikonia, and basic drivers won't support my dual screen layout [13:20] Dr_Willis: thanks alot Doc :) [13:20] !info gnochm [13:20] gnochm (source: gnochm): CHM file viewer for GNOME.

[13:22] coolroot: update/upgrade/try again [13:22] !xchm [13:23] blue112: it's the trade off you need to look at [13:23] ikonia, so ubuntu says "Use one screen or lag" ? [13:23] blue112: no, ati (nothing to do with ubuntu) appears to have issues with your card/driver combo [13:23] xchm is enough [13:24] ikonia, then, what can I do to fix that AND keeping my dual screen ? [13:24] I can't change my graphic card, it's a laptop. [13:24] blue112: contact ATI [13:24] ikonia, I doubt that they will ever answer. [13:24] log it as a bug [13:25] blue112: then what do you want ubuntu to do about it ?: they don't make those drivers or support them [13:25] blue112 I think you can use vesa instead of the current driver === tas is now known as UTF [13:25] pksadiq, I won't be able to dual screen then. [13:25] Dr_Willis, i did update but same problem [13:26] what is a linux system with only text mode? [13:27] raven: one thats not running X. [13:27] raven: what ?

[13:30] Killaklown: you can use the nvidia-xsettings tool to generate one. [13:30] ok [13:31] cool beans [13:31] thanks man [13:31] I normlly just install the drivers using the hardware-drivers tool, reboot, run nvidia-settings the first time, restart X server.. and thats it... [13:31] how to build up a computing cluster with ubuntu? [13:31] !cluster [13:31] ok [13:31] :) [13:31] Get a lot of computers.. cluster them together.. :) [13:31] Hi.

[13:31] !cluster [13:32] Dr_Willis, HOW [13:32] raven cluster of what? [13:32] raven: are we doing your homework for you? or what exactly? [13:33] first hit for 'ubuntu cluster' is --> How To Create Ubuntu Server Cluster - Ubuntu Forums [13:33] when i googled it just now. :) [13:33] google is your friend [13:33] Hey. I was wondering if anyone knew how to run .jar files? Ubuntu just opens it as if it was a compressed file. [13:33] f [13:34] google's got a lot of friends [13:34] Moopz: java -jar foo.jar [13:34] gnochm got bug for installing....does anyone here knows how to install it? or is it fix? [13:34] Moopz java -jar file [13:34] Tried that already, doest't work [13:34] Moopz: or right click on file and open with Java runtime [13:34] Moopz: thats how its done.. unless you got some other error messages you want to share with ut [13:34] Hi again. [13:35] Why when I run glxinfos it says X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) [13:35] pksadiq, doesn't work either. Tried with both Sun and OpenJDK [13:35] Gnochm isent even in 10.10 any more... [13:35] java-jar: command not found is what I'm getting. [13:35] Moopz: SPELL it right. [13:36] Moopz: java -jar foo.jar [13:36] Notice the SPACE :_) [13:36] the space is needed :) [13:36] -jar is an OPTION [13:36] LinuxLinks: Moopz knows it, I feel [13:36] :) [13:36] heh [13:36] Now I get: Unable to access jarfile test.jar [13:37] And I set the permissions so it should be able to be executed. [13:37] Moopz: and is test.jar in the current working directory? [13:37] in the terminal, how do I change the extension of a group of files in a direction [13:37] Yes [13:37] anyone got any experience with routing protocals? [13:37] I figured out 'rename *.txt ??.t" [13:37] Moopz: i dont think you set them +x, no nee to.. and you do have the case correct? use TAB key to complete the name [13:37] the ?? part is what I have trouble with [13:38] hi [13:38] Found the problem. Had captialized T :) [13:38] !paste | jazzfish [13:38] jazzfish, please see my private message [13:38] Thanks for the help. [13:39] i try to create my first ubuntu package, and don't know how to continue. the program does not need to be compiled as it is written in tcl tk [13:39] WXZ: in most cases i recall people dont want to use 'rename' they want to use 'mv' to move a file to a new name.. [13:39] I lied, I'm actually using "convert" [13:39] ImageMagick [13:39] there is a configure ans install script which can be used to install the app [13:39] WXZ: so whats the issue then? [13:39] same issue, just instead of "rename" I want "convert" [13:39] can i use this script to create a package? [13:40] convert *.png *.jpg doesn't work [13:40] i did this in a rpm spec file [13:40] and this works great [13:40] WXZ: So you need to learn how bash Handles file globbing. :) [13:40] sure..... [13:40] WXZ: try it with echo.. echo foo.png poo.jpg [13:40] oops wrong example. :) [13:41] WXZ: try it with echo.. echo *.png poo.jpg [13:41] lol, poo [13:41] WXZ: programs dont handle the globx.. bash expands them then sends them the whole list. You will need to use 'find' or xargs, to handkle it.. or some scripting [13:42] this is the spec file I was talking about [13:42] http://pastebin.com/ER6cjRWn [13:42] WXZ: check out some of the bash guides under file globbing, it will show examples.. i gotta run. [13:42] any other chm viewer aside from gnochm from the repos? [13:43] coolroot: I think xchm works [13:44] what does sudo chmod a+x' [13:44] ? [13:44] Why does glxinfo or fglrxinfo doesn't work with the catalyst drivers :/ ? [13:45] uLinux: adds Execute along with the attributes already present with the file [13:48] i want to run the following command ...(setq flymake-log-level 3)...how is it supposed to be done? === uLinux_ is now known as uLinux [13:51] Hi, I have a web based application installed on my computer, how can I access this site remotely please? but the problem is that I don't have a real IP. [13:51] Hi there. Does my video card will be supported in Ubuntu 10.10? I have a nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] rev 162. [13:52] Does encrypting a partition give a big overload in terms of system performance? [13:52] Kuba: in my experience, accessing an encrypted partition is 3 times slower than accessing s standard partition [13:53] Syria, you need to open a port on your router/firewall (probably port 80 by default) AND for DNS you might want to check out one of the dynamic DNS services (no-ip for example has their client in the default Ubuntu repo called noip2) [13:53] bodom: oh, so on a netbook it is practically pointless (since its performance is ver low) thanks [13:53] Kuba: but it really depends on the algorithm you chose, the key lenght, and how fast is your pc [13:54] hello all [13:54] how many hours until ubuntu 10.10 is officially released? [13:54] ZykoticK9: I have a router connected to the same computer, should I do this using it? [13:54] Kuba: yep, I don't suggest you to encrypt partitions on netbook, instead you absoulutely need it. Maybe consider encrypting just a couple of folder and putting there your confidential data [13:54] LeFrog, the exact time/hour is never known [13:54] i see... [13:55] the RC is pretty much the same thing, no? [13:55] bodom: a couple of folders? How could I do that? :) [13:55] LeFrog: they usually release when there will be 10.10 on every country, so watch hawaii clock [13:56] ok bodom [13:56] Kuba: hold on a moment [13:56] Syria, sorry I don't understand your last statement. The router needs to forward the port to your hosting computer (it should probably be given a static internal IP). Configuring routers is always different by model/make, so I can't really help with that part!? [13:56] Okay, this is just annoying me. Why can't I figure out how to open a terminal inside gedit? (I have the terminal plugin for gedit installed) [13:57] ZykoticK9: Thank you. [13:57] LeFrog: but, keep in mind that isn't said to be on time ;p What I mean is that when the 10.04 was relesed there was quite a big time shift [13:57] i have just converted a pdf file to an epub using calibre; most things look good; but some words are split up in a strange way; any advice? [13:57] kuba: how so? [13:58] aye anyone here technically savvy that may be able to offer some help? [13:58] Kuba: take a look at this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [13:58] LeFrog: afair there were some problems - fixing it and building new isos took quite a bit of time [13:58] i see...

[14:17] KillGuta: A script? I've heard of youtube-dl. [14:18] btQuark: I'm not sure if that's fixable from our side. [14:18] the hints with "agp" in the various forums did not work, most likely due to the fact that its not agp but pci-e [14:18] Tried it, Jookia. Didn't work. [14:18] btQuark: The proprietry nVidia drivers are closed-source, nobody can fix things besides nVidia. [14:18] KillGuta, while you are watching YouTube videos a file Flash#$J#K is created in /tmp - you can copy this file to another location to save it [14:18] Jookia - so you're telling that ubuntu now *again* does not offer acellerated graphics? [14:18] can I have the cp command list every file and folder it copies? Or atleast inform me when it's done [14:18] hey guys, I rebooted my computer and now its doing this.. --->> 490 root 20 0 8128 808 624 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 fsck -a -C9 -t ext3 /dev/disk/by-uuid/acc38eff-4d2e-4db9-8e8a-109430aff298 <<<---- is there a way i can watch a progress meter of it? [14:18] stupid thing is - windows works like a charm [14:19] solaris works like a charm [14:19] ZykoticK9, thanks! [14:19] btQuark: Then don't use Ubuntu? The reason is that the open source drivers aren't good enough in Ubuntu 10.04. Try Ubuntu 10.10. [14:19] only the uberpro-superduper-ubuntu has yet again decided to deprecate acellerated graphics [14:19] give up on me zyko? [14:19] I do not understand English [14:19] btQuark: It's not deprecating them! It's a bug that nVidia won't fix! [14:19] KillGuta: there's also a script for GreaseMonkey called "Youtube Enhancer" which will add download links on youtube pages [14:19] huang, /join #ubuntu-cn [14:19] Scorcher21, are you talking to me? [14:20] anyone else have a 'signal out of range' issue and if so howd you fix it? [14:20] glebihan: They don't want to open up a browser. [14:20] yeah [14:20] !tab | Scorcher21 [14:20] Scorcher21: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [14:20] glebihan, GreaseMonkey supports Chrome? [14:20] btQuark: why bother use ubuntu? go for windows.....spend more $ while we save more $ :P [14:20] ahh thanks [14:20] Scorcher21, what issue are you having? [14:20] Scrorcher21: That's a resolution problem. You need to lower your screen resolution. [14:20] i've had that once with radeon graphics - then workstation graphics again, as i need to do real work, and it did not work as well, because "uh, opensource and no our driver is not fit for the purpose yet" [14:20] as I said newbie [14:20] getting an out of range signal when I try to upgrade [14:20] KillGuta: never tested, but it should work [14:20] btQuark: What do you want me to do, ring up nVidia tech support, file a bug and hope for the best? There's literally nothing we can do. [14:20] Scorcher21, for "signal out of range" lower your resolution [14:21] tried that all the way [14:21] Gah, I'm such an idiot for asking such trivial things when I have google -_- [14:21] Who Chinese? [14:21] then it just goes into standy [14:21] huang, not here [14:21] Scorcher21, what graphics card? [14:21] huang, /join #ubuntu-cn [14:21] nvidia ... 5300 i think [14:21] been awhile sine I loked [14:21] Jookia - i wouldn't regard a driver that works on a ridiculous number of platforms without issue and fast as "broken" when one weeny bunch of software does not get its act clean and some stable binary interfaces up [14:21] AGP [14:21] ok Thank you [14:21] btQuark, please take the rants elsewhere [14:22] as I said my 9.04 works fine [14:22] ah, because you supersmug linuxies dont like to hear about problems? [14:22] btQuark: ubuntu did their best to get the buggy drivers to work as best as they could. === nozes is now known as nozes_ [14:22] btQuark: No, because you said it yourself that it works in Solaris, why are you where? [14:22] but when I try to upgrade I get either the signal out of range for 9.10, and standy for 10.10 [14:22] that might the point of people not using your software because it does not work for them [14:22] btQuark, this is not the complaints channel. if you need support then ask, but complaining is not for here [14:23] and standby for fedora 13 also [14:23] well, seems like ubuntu still is best kept in a virtual machine, aka "native environment" [14:23] Good. [14:23] btQuark: from now on....read c++ programming tutorials.....and from the time u know how to read and write program....make ur own operating system! and u'll know why those programmers take time to debug those bugs found...... [14:23] hold on let get some specs here [14:23] Keep it there then, I don't care. [14:23] since all relevant hardware function still dont work === nozes_ is now known as nozes [14:23] btQuark, please stop [14:24] btQuark: This isn't Ubuntu's fault, it's Nvidia's for providing crap drivers. [14:24] sure. [14:24] and the crusades death cases were not the christs' faults but the fault of those who refused to be christs [14:24] btQuark: in this world we know the good and the moron! unlucky u belong to the moron type! :)))))))) [14:24] infidels [14:24] * Jookia claps. [14:24] Scorcher21, i read back through the logs - I've got nothing for ya (the 10.04/10.10 LiveCD not working, while 9.04 does is unfortunately rather common - i believe you need to enter some kernel/boot options to resolve, but don't know what they are). Good luck man. [14:25] noob-tux, not needed. nor helpful [14:25] lol ok [14:25] thanx anyway bud === ewook_ is now known as ewook [14:25] So what're you guys doing? I'm writing a simple program to remind me to take breaks at my computer. [14:25] Im drinking [14:25] hi all, trying to get a usb wifi dongle working [14:26] I'm also drinking [14:26] cheers [14:26] Any occasion? [14:26] lets get back on topic please [14:26] back at ya Scorcher21 [14:26] there is some nix drivers on a cd, but dont know how to get them installed :/ [14:26] work thirds its my night time [14:26] yeah night is the occasion lol [14:26] Jookia: hmmmm it's a day that ends in y [14:26] Scorcher21, Buffcns2 as bazhang said - try not to chit-chat about non-support issues (in this channel) [14:26] anyone can point me in the right direction for installing the drivers? thanks [14:26] sorry bout that [14:26] dogmatic69: What kind of drivers? File formats, is there a makefile, is it code or a .deb or .rpm or anything? [14:27] hi there ! [14:27] Jookia: looks like make files [14:27] ok ill go play somewhere lese [14:27] Okay [14:27] Can you give me an idea of the directory structure? [14:27] Jookia: could i link you to a dl? [14:27] I defined a raid 1 in my bios but I don't know how to use it under ubuntu : If I goes to System>Administration>Disk Utility, I can see two disks, not one. Can someone could help me please ? [14:27] Sure thing, I've got nothing better to do. [14:28] cx42net: Do you have two disks? [14:28] cx42net: you must use the bios raid configuration utility [14:28] yout mirrior isnt set up correctly [14:28] Hi [14:29] Jookia: yes I have two identical disks [14:29] Jookia: thanks :) ill find the link quick [14:29] Doonz: I did used it to configure the raid 1 [14:29] but now I don't know how to access to "one" disk that represent the two real disk in raid 1 [14:29] cx42net: Seems pretty accurate then. [14:30] Jookia: how that ? [14:30] Two disks, two disks. [14:30] Jookia: well right, seen in that way, that is pretty obvious yeah :p [14:30] Obviously I'm just messing with you, I dunno what the problem is. [14:30] Jookia: but I defined them in raid 1 in the bios, how could I use that ? [14:31] I have no clue, bro. I've never used RAID. [14:31] hi, is this possible: boot from a live cd, create an array ( with mdadm, raid 5 ) then copy all my data over the network ( still using the live cd ) then shutdown, add a extra disk install server to the disk and then still have the array there? ( it's because i want to use a disk with data on currently as os disk but the data can't be lost and must go to the array ) [14:31] Jookia: ok well no problem ;) [14:32] is there anyone with some raid knowledge that could help me . [14:32] ? [14:32] cx42net: what do you see for disks in ubuntu [14:32] cx42net, starting myself :) [14:32] do you see the two physical disks [14:32] in the utility disk, I can see the two physicals disks yes [14:33] do you have 3 disks in the system [14:33] or jus tthe two in mirror [14:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/509439/ <---btQuark hehehe [14:33] yes, I have an ssd for the os, and two identical hdd for the data, defined as raid 1 in the bios [14:33] noob-tux, why paste that? [14:33] oOps [14:33] sorry [14:34] ok [14:34] cx42net, just FYI but a lot of the "raid" bios stuff is not "really" raid, but some bios software raid of some sort. I don't believe the linux support is fantastic in some cases, so verify that your MB is supported. I've never bothered to get mine working, the raid controls in linux don't interest me enough to invest the time required to research to get it working. hope you have better luck (more patience) then I do/did ;) [14:34] ZykoticK9: it has nothing to do with what your talking about [14:34] cx42net: goto terminal type: sudo fdisk -l [14:34] post output to pastebin [14:34] Doonz, cx42net sorry then [14:35] ZykoticK9: no worries glad to see you trying to help === The is now known as Guest52542 [14:35] Doonz: http://pastebin.com/u4EbxaaE [14:36] were your drive 500gb in mirror [14:36] yes [14:38] what is the best and most thorough way to uninstall a program from ubuntu? [14:38] ok something isnt right in the bios side of the raid configuration. the ubuntu install will not be able to see both disks that belong to the pair it would only show as one. my other concern is that when you have this mirror set up are you going to be able to monitor the health of the array. if your just using the 500gb as storage and not accessing the disk alot or need high end speed from them you could look at the linux software solution [14:39] Jookia: i put in on dropbox, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1681123/Linux.zip [14:39] its 1mb [14:39] Okay [14:39] So is it the WPA_Supplicant or the Module that you want [14:39] thanks a lot :) [14:39] hi [14:39] um [14:40] what does "choke" and "unchoke" mean in transmission client [14:40] rudy__: in terminal sudo apt-get --purge remove app will take the config files too [14:40] Jookia: idk, its a usb wifi dongle and i want internet :P ive only been using linux for a month [14:40] what if I don't know the proper name for the program? the name in the menu is not the same name as the command line [14:40] hi, i have a problem with torrent clients; i use transmission(but it does the same with deluge) and after a while the system crashes [14:41] Hey dogmatic [14:41] did some of you encounter the same error? [14:41] rudy__: well in synaptic you can right click the installed app and select to completely remove [14:41] morpheus i have not encountered that, perhaps you must try updating it [14:41] Curious, what does 'lsmod | grep sta' in the terminal say? [14:41] i need help with my internet i wont work [14:41] when i try to umount a mount it fails saying : "device is busy". both "fuser -cu /path" and "lsof /path" return nothing; any ideas? (the folder a mounted LV if that is of any importance) [14:42] Jookia: for me? [14:42] dogmatic69: Yeah [14:42] rudy__, option 1 - use System / Preferences / Main Menu - and look at the properties of the menu entry to see what command line argument is run. option 2 - from a terminal "apt-cache search foo" where foo is a word in the program you are looking for [14:42] so far the only way i've seen to remove a program without command line as you said is to choose "remove" from within the ubuntu software center.. but I have no idea what that is actually doing to my computer.. and I don't know where files are going when packages get installed.. i don't know if they're in usr/bin or /bin or what [14:42] Jookia: there is 2 lines, vgastate and rt28070sta [14:42] aaah yes thats right [14:42] i forgot [14:42] silly me, thank you [14:42] Okay, so what's your card? [14:42] Jookia: with some numbers [14:42] what does "choke" and "unchoke" mean in the transmission client? [14:42] any ideas? [14:43] FSCK is doing an auto check on one of my arrays. Of course the sucker is over 3tb is there a way i can see the progress of it? [14:43] tough luck morpheus... computing is the blue pill for me:( [14:43] Jookia: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300474363887&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT [14:43] like, where is the REAL command line. i wanna see the output that is behind this thing. can I log out of gnome and just be on a command line [14:44] cx42net: any luck? [14:44] that is the one i bought has lots of tech specks down the bottom [14:44] hi, is this possible: boot from a live cd, create an array ( with mdadm, raid 5 ) then copy all my data over the network ( still using the live cd ) then shutdown, add a extra disk install server to the disk and then still have the array there? ( it's because i want to use a disk with data on currently as os disk but the data can't be lost and must go to the array ) [14:44] *specs [14:44] rudy__, ctrl+alt+f1 (ctrl+alt+f7 to get back) [14:44] thanks! :D [14:44] dogmatic69: Type 'locate rt3070' [14:44] ineedhelp: where is that ? I don't see those commands ? [14:44] rudy__, you're not going to see output though - dmesg command to see kernel output [14:45] Joh [14:45] its asking for my login :P [14:45] Jookia: says lib/firmware/rt3070.bin [14:45] in the transmission client if you open the torrent then go to peers, it keeps saying choked and unchoked [14:45] rudy__, so log in [14:45] you must hover your mouse over the peer list though [14:45] * dddw is off for the day [14:45] dogmatic69: Hmm, so you have the firmware and it's auto detected, type 'ifconfig' [14:46] woah dmesg pumps out alot [14:46] rudy__, F1-F6 are the virtual terminal - then run in parallel to the GUIs (x sessions) which are F7 and above [14:46] Jookia: seems like 3x entries, eth0 lo wlan0 [14:46] Uh [14:46] is there a "kill program" hotkey [14:46] Try 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 up' or 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' [14:47] allright, "umount -l /path" might have done the trick [14:47] rudy__: Dunno, by you can type 'pkill' in the terminal followed by the name of the program. [14:47] rudy__, "ps aux" to find PID then "kill $PIDNUM" or "killall $PROGRAMNAME" [14:47] thank you [14:47] now i get "failed to suspend VG" when I try to extend the LV that was mounted on /home. any ideas ? [14:48] i still havent needed to kill a program yet :P [14:48] can someone say if it is a known bug and if it has already been corrected in ubuntu maverick with linux 2.6.35? [14:48] rudy__, you can also use a terminal "program manager" type program called "top" [14:48] Jookia: first one had error (no up command) second one seemed to work (no errors at least but no output either) [14:48] haha theres more than one way to do things just like perl [14:48] In terminal, how do I copy everything from /media/cd/ to /media/usb/, ending up with /media/usb/[content of the cd] and not /media/usb/cd/[contents of the cd] ? [14:49] I was wondering... When the next version of ubuntu comes out I'm going to reinstall rather that update. Do I loose all the configuration I've done previously if I do that? [14:49] dogmatic69: Can you try and use the dongle now? Does networkmanager pick it up? [14:49] sms_, i'd guess ".... /media/cd/* ..." would work [14:49] Morpheus303, join #Ubuntu+1 for maverick/10.10 support [14:49] HaPK_PerCar: Reinstalling loses all the data and configuration. Upgrading doesn't. [14:49] sms_: cd to /media/usb/cd/[content] en copy or move it to /media/usb [14:49] Jookia: its been in all the time :/ ill unplug and put back in quick [14:50] my problem is in lucid [14:50] sms_: cp -r /media/cd/* /media/usb [14:50] Jookia, so if I reinstall I also loose all the files in my home folder? [14:50] dogmatic69: After putting it back in, can you pastebin the results of 'dmesg | tail' ? [14:50] Morpheus303, you asked if it is corrected in maverick [14:50] HaPK_PerCar: I'm not sure, depends how you partitioned it. I think you will if it's all on one partition. [14:51] Morpheus303, what is the issue again.. I came in late [14:51] can someone confirm this? do I loose every file if I reinstall? [14:51] glebihan - if you're still here, ty again for your help with DOSBox 0.74 missing package and with that, I can report that I have successfully compiled my first app in Linux. *happy face* [14:51] back up ur shit before you format the drive [14:51] I mean, every file in my ubuntu partition [14:51] HaPK_PerCar, if you reinstall over an existing install..yes you lose it all [14:51] glebihan, that makes the most sense, let's see.. [14:51] Jookia: bit hard without the internet :P has about 10x entries that say '[ some.number] VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr0' [14:52] GregValheru: nice :) [14:52] numbers are like [ 2680.378093] [14:52] coz_, hm, I see... [14:52] dogmatic69: Ah, that's either good or bad. Good if it's silent without error, bad if it straightout didn't detect you inserting the dongle. The numbers are the seconds from how long Linux has been running. [14:52] HaPK_PerCar, if you copy your /home/$USERNAME directory to another location, then copy it back all your setting "should" be restored. You can see !clone factoid to get a copy of your package list. i don't do upgrades myself, and simply copy home dir and my files are stored on another drive [14:52] oh well, no other thing to do that upgrade then... [14:52] HaPK_PerCar, you need to back up to cd or external drive ...everything you want to save [14:52] I've added a binary to /usr/local/bin... I need to run it with sudo, but sudo cannot find it... (my normal user can) [14:52] HaPK_PerCar, are these files or applications you want to save? [14:53] I run "sudo drush xxxx" and it says "sudo: drush: command not found" works fine with my normal user account [14:53] Is there a way to change the default Gnome Terminal size? [14:53] HaPK_PerCar, do you have dropbox installed? it has 2gigs of free storage and well worth the effort [14:53] in this chat, what does the red text mean? [14:53] coz_, yeah, quite a bit of work in there [14:53] HaPK_PerCar, does it exceed 2 gigs? [14:54] Jookia: ok... there is this little info i know... pluging it into pc its for (clean 10.04 x64 does nothing) plugging it into 10.04.01 x84 with updates seems to show it in the connection manager [14:54] coz_, hmmm, I don't think so, but it takes a lot of time to upload things to the dropbox cloud [14:54] HaPK_PerCar, well not too much time considering that it will be safe and reinstalltion can be done without concern [14:54] nsahoo, if you edit the profile and change the font size in gnome terminal it auto resized the entire window as well [14:54] dogmatic69: Then obviously the 64bit version doesn't have the drivers. You could try clean 10.10 (it comes out later today or tommorrow) to see if it's fixed, if its not or you don't want to check, just use x86. [14:55] ZykoticK9: I was asking about fitting more rows and columns by default [14:55] nsahoo, ah then disregard ;) [14:55] coz_, and what about programs and other configs? I loose all those too? [14:55] HaPK_PerCar, for programs you can use aptoncd [14:56] Jookia: so cant i install the drivers that is on the cd it came with? [14:56] ya know, I like this os so much... even though I don't understand how it works yet... when I first tried windows I had to figure it out too.. but by the time I got this i was still a total windows noob. Im tiredddd of not knowing how my OS or my system works . [14:56] HaPK_PerCar, that will essentially back up the applications that you are using at the moment and reinstall them later [14:56] hi, I'm using dd_rescue to copy a HDD to another HDD, what does ipos mean? [14:56] coz_, I'll see that [14:56] hey friends [14:56] it tooks like 15 mins in windows to open firefox [14:57] HaPK_PerCar, both dropbox and aptoncd may be your saving grace ... this way you can reinstalll at any given time knowing that these things are safely backed up [14:57] i need so help with file recover from a sd card [14:57] and i got dual CPU's with 2 gigs of ram! === Guest38812 is now known as dca [14:57] i need so help with file recover from a sd card [14:57] Guest38812: dd_rescue and scalpel may help [14:58] Huh, doesn't work: [14:58] cp -r '/media/Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS amd64/*' '/media/karmadrive' [14:58] cp: cannot stat `/media/Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS amd64/*': No such file or directory [14:58] dca, i'd also check out testdisk and photorec (in same package, by same people) [14:58] coz_, I have an NTFS partition, so I guess I can backup all my important files there. aptoncd seems useful [14:58] zaggynl where do i get it? [14:58] coz_, thanks for the help [14:58] or testdisk [14:58] how to conver a pdf document into a .doc document....??? [14:58] dca: they're in the ubuntu repository [14:59] HaPK_PerCar, yes that is the other option for sure...I sometimes do that on the windows partition [14:59] just install them like any other program using add/remove programs or synaptic [15:00] sms_: cp -r '/media/Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS amd64/'* '/media/karmadrive' [15:00] sms_: don't put the star in the quotes [15:01] sms_: or : cp -r /media/Ubuntu\ 10.04.1\ LTS\ amd64/* /media/karmadrive [15:01] how to conver a pdf document into a .doc document....??? [15:01] glabihan: thanks seems to be working! [15:02] hi [15:02] hi [15:02] sms_: you're welcome [15:02] welcome [15:02] MKM: I don't know how, but why do you want to? [15:02] MKM i think you can use open office [15:03] MKM: my first guess would be to say that it isn't possible... [15:03] any one can help me?? [15:03] haythem: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [15:03] dca: I don't think so, open office can't open pdf documents [15:04] MKM: so i think you can upload your file to google docs then save it as doc [15:04] how to setup gccsense in emacs? [15:04] Jookia: when i plug it in the notification thing says 'network - you are now disconnected' [15:05] hi, im using a mx1000 and my middle mouse button does not work, when testing with xev i dont get any events when pressing that button (all other buttons give events), what might be the problem? [15:05] agruman: by default it switches the scroll mode, no? [15:05] Hi I just installed ubuntu netbook edtion and It confuses me because there's no minimize button or anything. [15:05] agruman: wait, I'm thinking of a different mouse [15:05] dogmatic69: Well I'm not sure what to do man, I can't help anymore. I don't think you need those drivers, though. [15:05] jrib, it doesnt do anything, xev doesnt report anything [15:05] lol, Dosbox thinks that the mounted ISO is my C drive [15:06] Braber01, right... you may have to watch some videos on this ... netbook takes a bit of getting used to after regular desktop edition [15:06] agruman: you mean when you press down on the wheel right? [15:06] jrib, yes [15:06] Jookia: cool thanks. ill try put the details in manually see if it does anything [15:06] thank you coz_ [15:06] jrib, according to howtos it should produce event 2, im thinking its either hw or some udev problem [15:07] Braber01, but it isnt broken if that was your concern :) [15:07] Braber01, although...do you have your video card driver installed? [15:07] agruman: haven't used mx1000 in a few releases, so don't know. It definitely used to work [15:07] I think I do otherwise I don't think I'd be able to watch blogtv.com [15:08] jrib, well everything else is fine, but id think that atleast xev should print something [15:08] agruman: does everything else work? [15:08] hi. I have some issues using matlab: the keyboard respond like a qwerty keyboard wether it's an azerty one [15:09] It may be caused by the fact that matlab is using a x-windows style .... [15:09] jrib, yes [15:10] fyi: i managed to fix the "failed to suspend" problem when resizing my LV by first marking is as inactive by using lvchange -a n /dev/vg/vg [15:10] does anyone has an idea about it ? [15:12] agruman: anything interesting in /var/log/Xorg.0.log maybe? Does the left click + right click simultaneously produce a middle click at the moment? [15:15] jrib, yes left + right gives event 2 ... hmm [15:16] agruman: you mean "button 2"? Does it act like middle click? [15:16] jrib, yeah sry button 2 [15:16] trying to ask again, i want to create a ubuntu package for a program that needs not be compiled. in fact I only have to copy all files to /usr/share/foo, the program already has an installation script which I want to use. now, from where do I have to execute this script? I don't think from debian/rules because this is a makefile. any help appreciated! [15:17] jrib, and yes it behaves as middle click [15:17] agruman: ok, I asked because X should do that by default until it sees a "real" middle click [15:18] Guys, do I need something to convert .flv to .mp3 through ffmpeg? [15:18] Hi all. Having problems with my wifi. The internet manager does show any networks. Sometimes it will show avail networks but it temperamental.

[15:19] jrib, ok, X seems to add a macintosh mouse along with my logitech receiver, i only have the mx1000 connected [15:20] agruman: hmm, could be related [15:20] jrib, but it does not recognize it as a mx1000 === ayush is now known as ayush1 [15:21] agruman: for my logitech revoco it seems to tell me about "Logitech USB Receiver". I actually used to have an mx1000 but that middle click stopped working for me; when I told logitech, they sent me this one for free :P [15:22] vlc [15:22] Hi all. Having problems with my wifi.

I had help earlier and added "auto wlan0" which worked briefly but again I cant access the wifi [15:23] hi, how can i change my mouse pointer with a custom one from gnome look? [15:23] agruman: you could try in windows to rule out a hardware issue maybe? [15:24] jrib, :) i have /dev/input/event3 (Logitech USB Receiver) configured as /dev/input/mouse1 and /dev/input/event2 (Macintosh mouse button emulation) configured as /dev/input/mouse0 [15:24] agruman: I get that too [15:24] jrib, ok, i have no idea what the Macintosh is doing there though ... heh [15:25] Doonz: sorry I had to go for a while [15:25] I read what you said, but I don't know [15:25] Doonz: in fact it is weird [15:26] I'm gonna take a deeper look about this problem and try to find a solution [15:26] thanks for your help :) [15:26] Hello, does anyone how to get sound over HDMI on Ubuntu 10.4 please?

I've installed Ubuntu on it before but never this version. The problem is that when it comes to detecting the hardware it seems like if the installation fails to detect the hard drive. Thought the hard drive is detected by Windows and Puppy Linux. Anyone here able to help me solve this problem? [15:29] 10.10 tomorrow! [15:29] X-Sleepy-X: what disk controller is in it ?

[15:31] I mean, how? [15:32] ikonia: I'm sorry but I'm not sure where to find that documentation. [15:32] why can't i copy amr files from my phone (it says unsupported)?

[15:37] Hello all.. i am currently running Ubuntu 10.4 on my pc, however i would like to downgrade it to Ubuntu 9.10. how do i do that? [15:37] !downgrade [15:37] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [15:38] fresh install ? [15:38] so make a fresh install [15:38] yes [15:38] cage_raphel, why would you want to do that? ubuntu10.04 boots up faster than 9.10 [15:38] hmmm.. ok. is that the only option? :( [15:38] guys, any solution for my problem? [15:38] ovy: i feel that Ubuntu 10.4 gives some kinda issues after every update. [15:38] is it better to do a conventional install to a flash drive, or just do the livecd/casper-rw? [15:39] cage_raphel, tommorow 10.10 [15:39] cage_raphel: issues like? [15:39] ikonia: I === AbhiJit is now known as Guest86207 [15:39] Gigacore: issues like, it gives error messages when the system is rebooting.. === AbhiJit_ is now known as AbhiJit [15:39] ikonia: I'm unable to locate the requested information. Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong places but all I find is general information. [15:40] X-Sleepy-X: first of all 64mb of ram is a very small ammount of ram for a modern distro, second are you disks in a raid configuration ? [15:40] cage_raphel: what's the error you are getting? [15:40] hi guys, im trrying to add a folder to Path so that i can run my script in that folder directly in bash [15:41] so first i do: $ cd $HOME/script/ [15:41] sten: reason you don't just use ~/bin for your personal scripts? [15:41] yeah its for a lesson [15:41] Gigacore: i am a newbie.. i honestly dont remember the error message either.. i dont get the error message always.. but somestimes yes.. i do get the, where i am forced to give a cold reboot my machine. [15:41] ikonia: I know that 64 MB is a very small amount but it has worked with Ubuntu Server in the past. The disk is a single disk in a notebook so I don't believe it's RAID. [15:41] sten: do you want to add ~/script permanently to your path? [15:41] and i dont know if im doing right cuz it doesnt work o if its supposed to not work [15:41] no just for the bash session [15:42] sten: tell us what you ran [15:42] so [15:42] path="$HOME/script/" [15:42] X-Sleepy-X: apologies,k I thought you said it was a server, not a notebook, my mistake [15:42] export path [15:42] ./script [15:42] command not found [15:42] or script [15:42] sten: PATH, not path [15:42] sten: PATH=$PATH:/home/script export PATH [15:42] sten: export PATH=/$HOME/script/:$PATH [15:42] yeah iv done that to [15:42] ah [15:42] ;D [15:42] il try [15:43] sten: is script a script, or a directory [15:43] ikonia: Perhaps I expressed myself incorrectly, I never mentioned it as a notebook, but i mentioned Ubuntu Server... :) [15:43] Gigacore: the most common issue being.. once my machine boots.. it takes me to a black screen.. with a blinking cursor.. and then it gives a error message ( which i have not made a note of ) and the caps lock and the scroll lock lights on my keyboard starts flashing.. and my system becomes unresponsive. [15:43] X-Sleepy-X: no, it was me not reading it properly, my fault [15:43] hey, when I exicute a command my output comes after I already rerecieved my shell prompt. What am I doing wrong? [15:43] cage_raphel: the caps lock and the scroll lock lights on my keyboard starts flashing.. [15:43] cage_raphel: that's a kernel panic [15:43] jo___: not telling us your command... [15:43] export PATH=/$HOME/script/:$PATH [15:44] thanks!! [15:44] cage_raphel: the BSOD of linux [15:44] sten: no probelm [15:44] sten: you should surround it in quotes [15:44] ikonia: script is the folder and in that a script file is resideing [15:44] erUSUL: yeah.. i remember those words on my screen.. kernel panic.. what does that mean? [15:44] I've just updated to Ubuntu 10.10, but whenever I start the PC, the grub thingy asks me what version of Ubuntu's kernel to boot.Is this odd? [15:44] jrib it worked anyhow, any reason in particular i shoud quote it? [15:44] cage_raphel: it is a serious issue. but weithout the actual error message that come with the panic we can not know. [15:44] sten: good practice in case you have a directory there with spaces [15:45] true! [15:45] jrib: curl -A "Mozilla/4.73 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686)" --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar --insecure --location somesite [15:45] erUSUL: will a fresh install of ubuntu help me resolve the issue? [15:45] thanks you guys [15:45] sten: just creating ~/bin/ and putting your scripts binaries there is enough. ~/bin/ gets automatically added to PATH [15:45] ikonia: Well, I've been trying to get it to work with three different CD's, the desktop version, the server version and the mini version. The desktop version complained about low memory, what a chocker.. ;) And the both latter ones displayed the same kind of error regarding the hardware detection. Though if I went to a shell i could use fdisk but still the installation would fail. [15:45] cage_raphel: do you get the list of earlier version of kernels at grub boot menu? [15:45] i have ebook reader with linux core, i am trying to modify installation files' SKIN folder by replacing with modified jpg files. The SKIN folder is in tgz archive. Will it work after flashing my device with modified? How to replace files in tgz archive? [15:45] erUSUL: yes, but i only want to add the path in the bash session [15:46] not permanten [15:46] sten: I am not sure wether to use the export ... [15:46] X-Sleepy-X: guess you need to look at the exact error message [15:46] sten: its only added to your current session [15:46] Gigacore: how do i identify the list of earlier version of kernels in my boot menu? [15:46] sten: ok [15:46] sten: for me it worked without export too [15:46] hm [15:46] cage_raphel: i dunno; as i said hard to know with such little info. [15:46] yeah but if you open a new bash it should also work [15:46] ikonia: Well, there's the problem, it doesn't show me an error message, I just figured it was the hard drive due to the expert installation mode. [15:47] but not if you open a new terminal [15:47] cage_raphel: after updating, the newest version of kernel will be on the top.. and the older version will go to the bottom.. [15:47] X-Sleepy-X: it's probably just very slow due to lack of memory [15:47] Gigacore: are u reffering to the grub menu which i get at boot up? [15:47] cage_raphel: so try if you can boot in properly with older version of kernel [15:47] cage_raphel: yes [15:47] Guys, why are there so many compile warnings in so much stuff? [15:47] ok .. what should i look for in the grub menu? [15:47] ikonia: Perhaps, I'll give it some more time searching and if it fails I'll just ditch the notebook... ;) [15:47] Don't devs fix them when they see them? :O [15:48] KillGuta: why are you compiling? [15:48] heya, I'm planning to install Ubuntu 10.10 alongside what I have now (W7 and LM 9). The MBR on this disk already has grub installed. I was planning to install 10.10 and tell the partitioner to install its loader on the partition where 10.10 will be installed. Is this a good way to do it ?

[15:48] Apart from Pidgin, is there any other IRC client, which integrates with the Indicator applet and Me Menu? [15:49] rocket16: empathy ? [15:49] sinedio, did the final version of ubuntu 10.10 come up? [15:49] KillGuta: yes but *I* told you this 16:36 < erUSUL> moetunes: KillGuta get the medibuntu libs [15:49] ovy: not yet [15:49] KillGuta: so add medibuntu [15:49] sten: add this to your ~/.bashrc file [15:49] !medibuntu > KillGuta [15:49] erUSUL, I did. Same thing happened [15:49] ikonia: Empathy is nice, but it lacks many features of IRC clients. :( [15:49] KillGuta, please see my private message [15:49] ovy: nope, not yet, but it aint that much now :) [15:49] sten: export PATH=/$HOME/script/:$PATH [15:49] rocket16: pidgen isn't an irc client [15:49] How to access Linux filesystem from Windows?

[16:02] jrib, the middle-click didnt work in windows either, so i suppose its hw related. will contact logitech and see what the say about the issue. [16:02] sten: also Kuehlschrank told you how to show it twice already [16:02] vexati0n, there are ways too many different flash plugins, mine also faulted on youtube... as a last resort, you may install adobe's non-free version, I beleive there's package flashplugin-installer that does it.... however, it may conflict with the free flashplayers so you better remove them before [16:02] random832: its most likely possible, very nearly anything is possible [16:02] pooooooooooooooo [16:03] ununtu 10.10 comes out when ? [16:03] before the end of the month or it'll be 10.11 [16:03] vexati0n: that grey box appears to be down to a bit of a memory leak, are you using it on a 64bit OS ? [16:03] !isitout [16:03] No! Its not out yet! [16:03] i'd guess it'll be near the end of the month, the last one was [16:03] Random it is possible just not a good idea because you cshould not use a swap file as it will lead to short life span of usb stick [16:03] suppose i don't use swap at all [16:04] then you could do it [16:04] the problem is i had a laptop where the hard drive failed, and i _have_ a usb drive rather than trying to find somewherei can cheaply buy a 2.5" IDE drive [16:05] erUSUL: yes, but i dont think im making my self clear, ofc i can find out what the set path is by echoing it out in the bash. And i think maybe im making it harder for my self, as you explained its stored in memory. What I did wonder was really if i could find the newly set PATH var in some textfile or whatever. If not, thats ok [16:05] but go look how usb sticks use the flash chips as storage and you will see why it will be a short life span [16:06] sten: no it is not written to disk. that's why all those init/rc files exist to set up that vars when the shell stars [16:06] sten: no, it's only stored in memory [16:06] thank you! :) [16:06] il try to be more precise next time!

[16:45] intel352, Do you mean to make them change size on the screen edges? I think compiz does that if you set it to extra. If not you can use CCSM. Not sure it has the feature though. [16:45] edbian, in gksu nautilus it doesn't show me the phone [16:45] cntb: they just seem to be problematic(at least what I read).. cntb have you identified what chipset is on the wireless device? [16:45] ovy, You just have to find it. Go to /media [16:46] ovy, The phones connected I presume [16:46] edbian: to clarify, I mean so that if you drag to the left or right side, the window resizes to half the screen (vertically). if you drag to the top, it maximizes [16:46] on the back says ralink 3090 for sure Ken8521 [16:46] hello everybody. i am having problems with the windows on ubuntu 10.4....... [16:46] edbian: openSUSE actually does it, I was surprised [16:46] intel352, I think compiz has that option. Not 100% sure. Change it to extra and try [16:46] edbian, it only shows my HDD, i went there at media, only floppy and HDD are shown [16:46] cntb: thats not really what i asked... is it USB, internal, etc?

[16:47] lg x130 beside Ken8521 [16:47] ......and after doing a failsafe gnome session, i have ruled out that a program is the cause of the problem...... [16:47] edbian: i'll bet it's kde, that's what opensuse runs by default now [16:47] ovy, I GUARANTEE that root nautilus can get to the phone. We just have to find it.

[16:47] cntb: what? is the machine running ubuntu right now... or do you have it under another OS? [16:48] intel352, Yes.

[16:51] sreeju: compositing is the desktop effects [16:51] Is Ubuntu a Plug and Play O/S? [16:51] Raiders32, Plug and Play means you can install drivers and software without having to restart the system. The answer is yes. [16:52] Ken8521: what info is missing about try netbook on this lg x130 notebook according to you ? [16:52] Raiders32: it depends.. what are you trying to plug and play? [16:52] I've updated to Ubuntu 10.10 from Ubuntu 10.4, and now whenever I boot, the Grub menu is rendered and I am asked to choose what version of Ubuntu's kernel to start.Does this mean I have to delete the obsolete kernel? [16:52] Raiders32, Unless you change the kernel. Than you have to restart [16:52] how to enable it? [16:53] andrr, You don't have to. The system leaves them there in case something goes wrong with the newer kernel and you have something to fall back on. In order to remove them cleany search their the name (2.6.32-X) in synaptic and remove the packages of the old kernels. [16:53] I'm building a computer mother board has an option to enable 'plug and play o/s' [16:53] andrr, Do NOT remove all the kernels. Then you won't have an OS to boot! :P [16:53] Raiders32, enable it.

Mostly concerned about how hard it is to set up? Im thinking opf a Ubuntu only computer, no0t very interested in having Windows on it. [17:15] well imma install it using wubi [17:15] Tdude, If you want only Ubuntu on the comp it's ridiculously easy to set up. [17:15] BBL [17:15] WISH ME GL :P [17:15] Cool [17:15] luck :] [17:16] Cause I really don't like Wubi I've heard you have to use the Windows file system [17:16] (which was the major reason I loved OSX) [17:16] Tdude, yeah does all the work for you. I have ubuntu fully loaded on my computer now [17:16] I just bought a dvd, installed vlc (on ubuntu 10.04) but when I try to play VTS_01_0.VOB vlc says: [17:16] File reading failed: VLC could not read the file. [17:16] Which package should I install to be able to watch my dvd? [17:16] Sweet :D [17:16] Tdude, You loved OS X because wubi is a windows based Ubuntu installer? === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [17:16] moetunes, thanks but then I get: alsa: unrecognized service [17:16] No because of the file system [17:16] sdoui: you can change the value of XDG_DESKTOP_DIR to $HOME in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, this will make your system consider your home folder as your desktop folder [17:17] Tdude, Windows shitty crapped out on me so I just installed Ubuntu all the way. [17:17] Tdude, Unix and Linux use filesystems with similar features [17:17] Oh [17:17] * Tdude newbie [17:17] Tdude, Ubuntu is a gateway to learning more about computers than you ever thought existed. [17:17] i'm facing problem regarding sharing files on network [17:17] So I've heard [17:17] help me [17:18] glebihan: that's fine, but it seems kind of like a hack. for a month or so i had no Desktop folder, then it appeared b/c of some X app i installed. i have a suspicion i'm not using that app anymore and would like to find the offending culprit [17:18] My friend switched to Ubuntu and he rocketed into computer guru heaven [17:18] Hi guys, I've installed 10.10 beta and am having a weird problem. My USB-mouse stops responding after a random period of time (keyboard etc continues to work). I've tried disabling ACPI and settings various other boot flags but no luck. Anyone know how to fix this? [17:18] Will read up a bit on installing and what Linux/Ubuntu really is [17:18] bhadresh: WHat exactly is your problem [17:18] Tdude, Ha. It's not fast or easy I don't think. But it is deep and liberating. [17:18] Anyone have any recommended reading? [17:18] Tdude, If you have any questions PM me! :) [17:18] Sweet [17:18] sdoui: well I agree, it's not a very clean solution... but it's the only one I've been able to find so far... [17:18] Cheers [17:18] Tdude if anything install a Virtual Machine [17:19] Is that the dual boot thing? :P [17:19] Tdude, get a live CD [17:19] Nope will work with in your mac os x [17:19] Live CD is also good just not as fast. VM is a bit faster [17:19] Buying a netbook [17:19] It will have eh WinXP I think [17:19] Tdude, Dual boot means when the system starts it asks you which OS to boot into. Virtual machine is one OS running on a virtual computer inside of another OS running on the real computer (both are running at once). [17:19] And no CD drive [17:20] usb live cd [17:20] Ah [17:20] Tdude, There are a plethora of ways to install Ubuntu. For example you can install from a jump drive if it's big enough. [17:20] glebihan: i suppose it is better than nothing. i don't seem to have ubuntu-desktop or gnome desktop related packages installed. maybe it's something to do with gimp. i have so few X apps that i can't imagine what it is. i know it's not firefox [17:20] moetunes, any Idea why sudo service alsa restart will report: alsa: unrecognized service [17:20] I see [17:20] That would be nice [17:20] put the files to share in a folder togethet right cklick> proprieties > sharing [17:20] If your installing it on a netbook get the netbook edition [17:20] lighter os [17:21] MarshallJW: not really [17:21] I've heard that the user interface isn't as clean as the Desktop one [17:21] Well at least my friend said so [17:21] @sulumar- ain't working...... i tried.... [17:21] He prefer using the desktop version on his netbook [17:21] MarshallJW, netbook edition is just Ubuntu with a custom interface (with gnome internals) and compiz turned off. I don't think it's lighter. [17:21] Tdude, That's opinion [17:21] Tdude: same here, the netbook interface isnt really effective [17:22] it asked me to install some samba package and did so but still in personal file sharing option it says some packages is missing..... [17:22] Man Ubuntu has evolved a lot [17:22] check if samba is installed bhadresh [17:22] I was looking at it a few years ago [17:22] Progress for sure [17:22] Tdude, It is extremely sleek. [17:22] Yah [17:22] Btw, KDE or Gnome? I've understood it's userinterface only [17:22] glebihan: anyway, thanks, i used that hack [17:22] If so I'll go with Gnome tbh [17:23] Tdude, That's opinion as well. [17:23] sdoui: you're welcome [17:23] what packages are missing exactely [17:23] Tdude, Linux is about choice and freedom. If you want others to choose things for you use Mac. [17:23] lol [17:23] Truth [17:23] :P [17:23] its ain't specifying...... [17:23] Well you can change your wallpaper on Mac xD [17:24] Tdude, In Ubunt you can change your kernel code. [17:24] in help menu it said to download webdav bt after doing that too it ain't working..... [17:25] Just joking a bit edbian [17:25] ok thats bad news; try restarting your ubuntu so that Init.d can load the new deamons properly [17:25] Tdude, :) No worries. [17:25] Can't wait for my netbook to arrive :D So excited on learning a new OS [17:25] a'ight [17:26] let me check [17:26] Tdude, You'll find that people take free software quite seriously in the Linux world. [17:26] how do I defragment a fat32 partition? [17:26] Tdude, why wait? Make your live USB drive now and try it out on this computer (the one you're using right now) [17:26] Tdude i'm still a bit new to ubuntu myself. Been using it for about 8 months. If that make you feel any better [17:27] I can't really do that, my girlfriend ain't too happy with me fiddling around on her computer :/ [17:27] i know restarting ubuntu is a bit hardcore to reload the deamons but idk what he exactely installed [17:27] Tdude, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [17:27] Wow. Ubuntu has outdone itself with maverick. Thanks a lot guys! [17:27] Ah sweet [17:27] Tdude, Ah, well then you'll have to wait. Booting Ubuntu on it will FREAK her out. [17:27] That's a lot edbian [17:28] Hello! I just started my old ubuntu and now I have some trouble with my nvidia card. I installed some official drivers which work fine. But after a restart ubuntu says, that the driver wont be able to boot correct or smth. [17:28] Yeah she's not too happy with me using it at all but my old computer crashed so she can't really blame me hehe [17:28] anyone know a tool or command to defrag fat32? [17:29] geckosenator, Generally if something is so big it can get fragmented badly it isn't fat32 [17:29] well I have 32gigs of storage [17:30] and its taking forever to delete files [17:30] which should be a constant speed operation, I guess in fat32 it isnt [17:30] anyway it says on ubuntuforums the easiest way to defrag is to copy all the data off, blank the partition and copy it back [17:31] geckosenator, How long is forever? Is it a hdd? [17:31] its a usb flash drive [17:31] geckosenator, Have fun doing that [17:31] and its taking like 20 minutes to delete a bunch of files I had [17:31] geckosenator, It's a huge flash drive. (yeah constant operations to look up / write stuff) [17:31] well it would be nice if I could defrag it [17:31] since we all know fat32 gets fragmented with use [17:32] geckosenator, You could partition the drive ext4 ;) [17:32] yeah good idea [17:33] Greetings, I had 10.04 installed, and did the upgrade to 10.10 rc, when it was done with it's update and rebooted, it loads up fine until the gui. i can see the purple background and the cursor arrow moves with my mouse, but no gnome menu's ever come up. I can go to command line and everything is fine thre.. but no GUI. Please help? Do I need to reinstall gnome? How do I do that from command line? [17:33] but i'm using fat32 so I can trade files with people on all operating systems [17:33] Firefox trouble:Menu and URL drop down no longer works. Anybody experience this? Any solution? [17:33] hi [17:33] anybody home? [17:33] hello there :) [17:34] Can you tell me what music is in this Movie? I haven't come across it before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOk0a9e7Opw [17:34] Maka, sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop. If it is installed (i'm betting it is and it's crashing when you boot) then try pressing alt-+F2 to run a term and in that term run nautilus& [17:34] oh I can run dfrag under dosemu [17:34] but it might not work with this size filesystem :-/ [17:34] Ah [17:34] geckosenator, there ya go [17:34] Seriously [17:34] I've installed 10.10 beta and am having a weird problem. My USB-mouse stops responding after a random period of time (keyboard etc continues to work). I've tried disabling ACPI and settings various other boot flags but no luck. Anyone know how to fix this? [17:35] This is nice, I can just start the installation and then click "Erase and use entire disk" and it will remove everything and I'll end up with a fresh installation? [17:35] biesbjerg, does it work under another OS?\ [17:35] Edbian, thank you I will try that.. I have tried alt-f2 and nothing happens. [17:35] biesbjerg, Figure out the module for the mouse and modprobe -r it then modprobe it. [17:35] Tdude, yep [17:35] biesbjerg, some manufacturers cannot produce working devices. [17:35] biesbjerg, or your mouse is simply broken. [17:35] * geckosenator crosses fingers [17:35] Edbian, i'll be back after i try the sudo apt-get thing :) bye for now (booting back into ubuntu) [17:35] That's exactally what I was hoping for [17:36] Maka, Good luck [17:36] does anyone know what's wrong with my firefox? [17:36] Tdude, Yeah, I told you it was easy :) [17:36] !ask | shawnboy [17:36] shawnboy: 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. :-) [17:36] shawnboy, re-ask periodcially [17:37] Does anyone know why my firefox menu and dropdown has stopped working? [17:37] fasta: I have two mouses hooked up to the computer (not wireless), it works perfectly in windows, and they stop working indepently of each other. After a reboot they both work again for some time [17:37] Something happened with the last update set, that has caused my Metacity not to load, nor gnome... when I reboot under appearances it says none is selected for visual effects, when I run metacity --replace it comes back. Also my icons do not appear unless I run metacity --replace [17:37] Well what I have to prepare is some sort of USB device which can store the installation then [17:37] err not gnome but compiz. === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [17:37] edbian: I have no idea how to do what you just said, or what it means [17:37] Cool cool [17:38] biesbjerg, do you use custom drivers under Windows? [17:38] biesbjerg, that is, not the generic ones? [17:38] biesbjerg, :) a module is a driver in linux. Modules are just chunks of code essentially that you jam into the kernel to make hardware work. [17:38] fasta: No, it's very generic mouses [17:39] edbian: Ok, fair enough. How would I go about finding out which module is loaded for my mice? [17:39] I tried to load the 2.6.35 kernel, but an error which ended in "kerneal_thread_helper " was rendered.However, I can load the 2.6.32 kernel.I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 [17:39] hi everyone! [17:39] biesbjerg, Any even, while the mouse is working run sudo lspci -k and look for your mouse. It should list a driver for it. Next time your mouses freezes, run sudo modprobe -r then sudo modprobe without the <'s That should remove it and insert it. Effectively restarting it. [17:39] biesbjerg, then I have no idea. I would suggest buying a new mice if you value your time, or sending all the details to the Linux kernel mailing list if you have the skills to go through that process. [17:39] !isitoutyet [17:39] No! Its not out yet! [17:39] biesbjerg, otherwise send to Launchpad. [17:39] andrr: you'll need to ask in #ubuntu+1 [17:40] andrr: since 10.10 isnt released yet [17:40] biesbjerg, otherwise these things will just be lost in the noise. [17:40] All right, thanks. [17:40] fasta: that's the t hing. I've tried 3 mice now [17:40] biesbjerg, ok, that's indeed very strange. [17:40] biesbjerg, (for 99.99% it just works. ) [17:41] edbian: Okay, I'll give it a shot. thanks [17:41] biesbjerg, It's a problem with your USB ports I suspect. Ignore what I said about drivers if it happens to different mice. [17:41] edbian: happens to different mice, nomatter which ports I plug it into [17:41] biesbjerg, It's probably loading the exact same generic mouse driver for those three that it loads for 99% of mice in the world. If nobody else is experiencing it than it isn't a driver issue. [17:41] Howo i ad a usr to wicd? [17:41] edbian, but why does it work on Windows then? [17:41] and they don't stop working all at the same time. right now one mouse is not working but the other is [17:41] biesbjerg, Perhaps the (very low level) usb controllers [17:42] Is thereaway i can add a usr to wicd? [17:42] biesbjerg, fasta It works on windows? [17:42] hey [17:42] ! [17:42] Bye fopr now, will be back when my isntallation is getting closer I suppose [17:42] edbian: Yes, never had a problem [17:42] Im back on ubuntu [17:42] feels good man! [17:42] :P [17:42] nadav: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:42] :P have a good few days until then [17:42] Looking for solution to why firefox menus and dropdowns no longer work. [17:42] A question tho, how / where can I get drivers for my hardware? [17:42] and actually I think I used to have Ubuntu 8.* installed with no problems too [17:42] edbian, did that dude you were helping last night ever figure out his problem ? [17:43] biesbjerg, Then I literally have no idea. Some low level quark. try a different distro? :P [17:43] Quantum_Ion, I don't recall. [17:43] haha :) [17:43] Quantum_Ion, What was the problem? His name? [17:43] nadav: it should come with them, which hardware are you having tyrouble with? [17:43] trouble* [17:43] edbian, Something about getting Ubuntu Linux to run on his hardware [17:43] ...or is there a firefox channel? [17:43] Does anyone know how to add a usr to wicd network manager? [17:43] edbian, that's what he said. [17:43] well [17:44] Quantum_Ion, ah, yes I remember now. I don't think he did. We should have suggested recovery mode. [17:44] edbian, His name was Caleeb1134 [17:44] fasta, Sorry missed that [17:44] whats the equivilant of device manager at ubuntu? [17:44] nadav, sudo lspci -k [17:44] for instance, I cant set my screen resoultion to 1920x1080 like I could on Win7 [17:44] nadav, :) [17:44] thanks [17:44] nadav: check "Hardware Drivers" under System > Administration [17:44] nadav, For screen resolution go to System -> preferences -> screen [17:44] you might need the hardware drivers for your graphics card [17:44] hi, i don't have sound in my headphones anyone can help me? [17:44] nadav, "Hardware Drivers [17:44] thx [17:45] Why do some people expect Ubuntu Linux to mimic Windows 7 is beyond me ? [17:45] EvilPhoenix, nadav, "Hardware Drivers" is just proprietary drivers [17:45] edbian: he might need proprietary drivers, i.e. NVIDIA or ATI [17:45] Quantum_Ion, Yeah IDK. Because it's all they know? [17:45] perlsyntax: there's probably some group with wicd in the name [17:45] edbian, lol [17:45] Hello! I need help with a sound problem... Anyone got time with me? :) [17:45] License: Proprietary? [17:45] EvilPhoenix, nadav I know. Just saying, it's not the device manager [17:45] thats what it tells me when its done scanning for drivers [17:46] oh [17:46] i se no group [17:46] see [17:46] also, how do I get to the console window? :P [17:46] Wops forgot to ask [17:47] nvm, found the terminal [17:47] What's the default file system from that graphic installation? [17:47] Tdude, ext4 [17:47] how can i delete windows and install ubuntu without any external hard drives/flash disks and CD/DVD? [17:47] nadav, Proprietary means not open source in this context. [17:47] O_O [17:47] I thought this was the idea behind linux? [17:48] well, not delete but part drive to 10Gs for win and 230 for ubuntu? [17:48] raindemon, With a partition editor [17:48] !install | raindemon but i don't thnk what you want to do is possible [17:48] raindemon but i don't thnk what you want to do is possible: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [17:48] Quantum_Ion: he sill has to have some sort of installation media. [17:48] Beuller... Beuller... Beuller... I need help fixing firefox please. [17:48] nadav, It's not purely open. There are some things they have to use that are proprietary. Flash is one example. some video drivers are another. (video card drivers are specific to a model line and hard to write) [17:48] I dont get any sound. I hear a sound just before im about to log in but after that its gone. I use HDMI får both sound and picture ( I have my 42" as a screen) Is it possible to use same HDMI for picture and sound [17:48] Quantum_Ion: but how? [17:49] Quantum_Ion: windows locks partitions when used [17:49] nadav, Part of the problem is that the people that make the cards don't let the outside people know exactly how the cards work. This makes it even harder to make a driver for it. [17:49] so I basiclly cant use my videocard to the fullest unless im willing to pay? :o [17:49] !details | shawnboy [17:49] shawnboy: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:49] raindemon: well you have to boot a cd or flash drive or something, so that the drive is not in use [17:49] raindemon, Have you ever heard of PartedMagic ? [17:49] Ken8521: i dont have one [17:49] Quantum_Ion: yes, but it goes nuts with my drive [17:50] raindemon: and thus what i was trying to tell you, you're asking how to install ubuntu, w/o any installation media. [17:50] nadav, The drivers are free. [17:50] Quantum_Ion: it doesn't even start [17:50] <[thor]> nadav: it means you can't have free access to change the code of the driver. [17:50] nadav, Just not open source [17:50] raindemon: am i understanding you correctly? [17:50] oh [17:50] raindemon: how did you install ubuntu in the first place ?? [17:50] Ken8521: there's got to be some way! [17:50] raindemon, you can also scrub your entire harddisk clean using Dariks Boot Nuke too [17:50] how can I list my partition ? [17:50] which command on console [17:50] raindemon: well i'm not sure why you would thinkthere would be [17:50] raindemon, You can use unetbootin, network install, floppy disks if you have enough of them. [17:50] raindemon, There are ways === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [17:51] nuking the drive, w/o a cd, etc.. is not the issue.. installing ubuntu is the issue. [17:51] nadav, sudo fdisk -l [17:51] usb's are down on my netbook [17:51] raindemon, Here http://www.dban.org/ [17:51] ext4 is free of fragmentation? [17:51] Tdude: basically, yeah [17:51] Tdude, Essentially yes. [17:51] and by down i mean they are absolutely down [17:51] nadav@ubuntu:~$ /dev/sda1 [17:51] bash: /dev/sda1: Permission denied [17:51] That's brilliant too [17:52] why wouldnt it let me access it? [17:52] Tdude: ntfs is unique in its way to get fragmented ;) [17:52] Tdude, It defragments on the fly so you never have to dedicate the whole system to it once a month. It feels like you never have to defrag this wya. [17:52] Let's say you're running Lucid with the latest updates, then Firefox menus and drop downs stop working. What would you do on a Saturday? [17:52] nadav: what are you trying to do ? [17:52] Ken8521, Do you use Dariks Boot and Nuke to wipe hard disks clean ? [17:52] nadav, That command makes no sense [17:52] shawnboy, restart firefox [17:52] Ken8521: i would suggest making a false partition in the mbr pointing it to a distinct sector on the hard drive [17:53] <[thor]> nadav: 'sub-folders' in /dev/ are representations of the hardware devices [17:53] Ken8521: and loading soe installation medium there with help of hex-editor [17:53] raindemon, but the Ubuntu Live CD has a free partitioning tool [17:53] lol :P [17:53] edbian: Let's say I restarted Firefox, rebooted the machine, and checked for new updates... and it still does it. [17:53] aha [17:53] Quantum_Ion: netbooks don't have cd's [17:53] <[thor]> nadav: you can't navigate through them [17:53] Quantum_Ion: and thats a pity [17:53] well I guess im the humor factor today :P [17:53] shawnboy, It's a bug in firefox. Try using an older version. [17:53] shawnboy, A bug I've seen ;) [17:54] <[thor]> nadav: you _can_ mount a device [17:54] raindemon, Too bed everyone with a netbook doesnt have the common sense to buy an external DVD-RW duh ! [17:54] I just mess around right now, trying to learn some stuff [17:54] nadav, Having fun I hope! :) [17:54] when I run "totem *.avi" it lists all the .avi files in the right hand pane, but they're not quite in order [17:54] Quantum_Ion: how could i connect it without usb ports? === adrian is now known as Guest83871 [17:54] Are there any known problems with the sky2 driver and jumbo frames? I have switches that support jumbo frames in my network, but my desktop gets very upset whenever I raise the MTU above 1500. [17:54] ebdian: can you give me a shove in the right direction of how to go about using an older version of Firefox after the latest is installed? [17:54] well I am, as long as people help me [17:54] :p [17:54] is there some way to get it to list (and play) them in numberical order? [17:54] raindemon, You should read up: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [17:55] raindemon, wtf kind of netbook is that without USB ports ??? you gotta be kidding me right ? [17:55] sudo fdisk -l [17:55] currently it's showing DSCN2002.AVI before DSCN2000.AVI and DSCN2001.AVI [17:55] didnt show the partitions, it showed me the /dev/sda1 listing [17:55] My netbooks have USB ports and CF readers, I've installed Ubuntu off CF before, I'll do it again. Faster and easier than CD for me. === ubuntu is now known as cervo [17:55] lets say I want to navigate to another partition through console, how should I approach it? [17:55] <[thor]> nadav: for example, if you have a second hard drive that is not mounted called "/dev/sdb", you can mount it by creating a destination in /mnt ( sudo mkdir /mnt/newdrivename ) and then attaching that device there ( sudo mount /dev/sdb1/ /mnt/newdrivename ) [17:55] shawnboy, open synpatic, find firefox, choose force old version [17:55] Quantum_Ion: i burnt them out with a usb hdd drive [17:56] It doesn't make any sense for a netbook not to have USB ports ??? [17:56] raindemon, No wonder ! [17:56] edbian: wow, thats better === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [17:56] nadav, You first have to mount that partition in a folder. Then you can see the contents of that partition in that folder. [17:56] Quantum_Ion: it was an accident [17:56] raindemon, What kind of netbook do you have ? [17:56] Thank you ebdian. I appreciate it. [17:56] when I run dfrag dosemu, now I get "undefined problem" [17:56] edbian, I can see it through the graphic interface [17:56] Thank you edbian I appreciate it. [17:56] how the heck do you burn out a usb port [17:56] does that mean I still need to mount it? [17:57] Ken8521, Good Question [17:57] <[thor]> nadav: if you can see it in the gui, it is mounted somewhere already [17:57] nadav, Make a folder, (sudo mount /mnt/somefolder) making them in mnt is customary. Then mount it, sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/someFolder, then go to that folder cd /mnt/someFolder , then open nautilus there if you want "nautilus ." [17:57] Ken8521: with a usb-hdd drive [17:57] shawnboy, Yep! [17:57] i guess... [17:57] nadav: another useful command for what you're trying to do :"df" will list the mounted partitions with their mount points [17:57] Ken8521: it took too much power from the us port so there was a litte smoke [17:57] raindemon, lol your telling us that you burnt all 3 of your USB ports out on your netbook ? [17:58] nadav, It shows on the desktop when you connect it. It mounts and open the folder when you double click. The system mounts things in /media [17:58] Hey everyone, I wonder, sometimes when I start a command I emmediatly get a new shell promt and only aftherwarts I get the output witch is rather annoying because I want to grep it. What do I do wrong? [17:58] raindemon: two, and the other is filled with some shit my younger brother punched in [17:58] I have a SSD drive, on which I'm going to install ubuntu. Should I go with ext2 or ext4 without journaling? [17:58] raindemon: buy a new one. :-) [17:58] raindemon, WOW ! This is a new one for me [17:59] jo_: any example of a command with this behavior ? [17:59] Mathuin: i would, but this has too much awesome things on it :) [17:59] nadav@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /mnt/nadav [17:59] mount: can't find /mnt/nadav in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [17:59] glebihan: everything with curl [17:59] Ken8521, lol [17:59] Quantum_Ion: write it down, 'cos thats not funny for me [17:59] nadav, sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/nadav [17:59] nadav, The partition comes first. [17:59] Hi again Edbian :) I am still having same problem. I did go to command line and tried "sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop" but it gave me invalid operation error so I tried "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and it said I already have it. I thought perhaps it's corrupted and that's why i dont get any gnome menus... so I did "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop" ... it did that.. then I installed it again "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [17:59] nadav, look at man mount [18:00] raindemon, hahaha sorry your story just sounds too bizarre man [18:00] i feel pretty dumb right now, this is my first time with linux [18:00] Maka, And it still don't work? [18:00] <[thor]> nadav: check /media/ for already mounted drives >:D [18:00] jo_: you mean you use the "curl" command, right ? [18:00] Maka, Try booting into Ubuntu recovery mode. or alternatively, boot into an old kernel [18:00] yeah, basically dosemu is confused by a 32gig drive or something [18:00] (cont...) rebooted and still no gnome menus... i cant find anywhere in filesystem where gnome2 files are... and i thought i remembered seeing gnome2 files before the upgrade... plz help? [18:00] glebihan: yes excuse me [18:00] Quantum_Ion: i didn't believe it either until i discovered lack of signal on ports [18:01] [thor], aha I see, so their not actual partitions anymore, but folders [18:01] Maka, The gnome settings are a hidden folder in your /home/you/ directory. They start with a period. To see them in the term us ls -a to see them using nautilus do view -> show hidden files [18:01] right? [18:01] those are the folders I had with windows [18:01] raindemon, I am just speechless right now, because I never in my life heard about anyone burning out all 3 USB ports on their netbooks [18:01] Quantum_Ion: but i still have a sd slot! (useless because netbook isn't able to boot from it) [18:01] Maka, It is safe to delete them all, they will be regenerated by the system with defaults in place. [18:01] partitions I had with windows* [18:01] :p [18:01] nadav, Got it? [18:01] i cant get to nautilus but i will look using command line [18:01] Quantum_Ion: bad luck :( [18:01] be back in a few :) [18:02] I got the partition thing [18:02] raindemon, I am just curious to know what kind of netbook is it ? [18:02] Quantum_Ion: at least it has 1280x768 screen [18:02] if I mount a new partition or a device, it will mount to /media? [18:02] Quantum_Ion: gigabyte m912x [18:02] nadav, o good [18:02] nadav, If it's auto mounted it puts it in a folder in /media [18:02] or atleast at the /media folder Ill be able to access it [18:02] aha [18:02] nadav, If you manually mount it it gets mounted where you tell it [18:02] nadav, yes [18:02] so every PnP device I plug onto the computer I should find at /media? [18:02] exit [18:02] raindemon, What did your brother stuff into one of the other ports ? [18:02] ooops :) [18:03] jo_: weird, doesn't behave like that here, I'm looking if can find an option that may cause your problem [18:03] nadav, It first shows up on the desktop. then you double click it and it open and mounts it in /media [18:03] Quantum_Ion: i suppose stapples with plasticine [18:03] How do I know my Ip address [18:03] alright [18:03] what is all those sudo commands tho? [18:03] nadav, Also, plug and play means hardware that you can install drivers for without rebooting. But I know what you meant. [18:03] raindemon, Dude are you for real ? [18:04] Quantum_Ion: maybe he thought it will be a BOOSTER [18:04] Quantum_Ion: absolutely [18:04] nadav, sudo means "do this as the root user" only root can mount things [18:04] oh [18:04] run as [18:04] alright, cool [18:04] nadav, Once it's mounted though anybody can access the files in it [18:04] Ken8521, maybe you are right [18:04] Quantum_Ion: lol, maybe? [18:04] https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appdevs-dx-n-multitouch-and-games [18:05] Quantum_Ion: Ken8521 lol, maybe what? [18:05] glebihan: yes here are the options curl -A "Mozilla/4.73 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686)" --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar --insecure --location --referer "somesite" somesite [18:05] nadav, su = switch user. The default su is root (otherwise it's su ) sudo is a play on words with pseudo meaning fake. You're not really switching to root. Only pretending to for one line [18:05] * Commercial Games Support in Ubuntu Linux via Steam (Mohamed-Ikbel Boulabiar) [18:05] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/maverick-desktop-i386.iso ?:> [18:05] Good'eve #ubuntu [18:05] raindemon, never mind [18:05] how to detect our own Ip address [18:05] raindemon: i told Quantum_Ion privately i think you're full of it [18:05] aha [18:05] but I didnt had anywhere in the ubuntu installation a place to define the root password [18:05] only my own username (nadav) [18:05] Ken8521, lol the story is just to out there [18:05] How can I make my stupid input box on x-chat bigger? [18:05] Ken8521: thats not funny [18:05] that was about 10min ago, and all you've done is reaffirm my suspicions [18:05] so whats my root password? [18:05] nadav, !su [18:06] nadav, !sudo [18:06] nadav, !root [18:06] raindemon: i wasn't trying to be funny [18:06] damnit!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [18:06] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [18:06] jo_: do you have anything in your "~/.curlrc" file ?

[18:07] edbian: Remember to pipe users that you want the bot to talk to. [18:07] I bought Dell Inspiron M101z and would be installing Ubuntu on it soon. I don't know what OS it comes with, but I would like to create a disk image of it using LiveCD. How can I do that? [18:07] Ryen, Yeah, got that too. ha aha, thanks [18:07] glebihan: no [18:07] nadav, Anywho, there is no root password in Ubuntu because there really isn't a root account. Again the sudo / pseudo thing [18:07] I have ubuntu 10.04. I have the machine connected to my TV via HDMI. Is it possible to get audio from the same HDMI cable? My system is quiet and I cant get the sound to work at all. I see the card is installed and not muted... [18:08] Quantum_Ion: well the obvioius answer, is you have to figure out how to operate your toaster by plugging it into the av jacks on your television [18:08] !root | edbian [18:08] edbian: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:08] jo_: and no issues with other commands than curl ? [18:08] !root | nadav [18:08] nadav: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[18:09] i did not know that, i would always guess... [18:09] macwolf74, ha [18:09] Quantum_Ion: ive thought i would live w/o dvd [18:09] and create an another one... [18:09] which time zone will 10.10 release follow? [18:09] edbian, wow lol [18:09] Quantum_Ion: flash technologies advanced so far [18:09] Nurhaci: Samoa. ask in #ubuntu-release-party [18:09] hi, when I change the resolution from NVIDIA X Server Settings to 1152x864 it works, but when I save the config in xorg.conf and reboot the system it come back to 1024x768 [18:09] hello [18:09] raindemon, I own a netbook I know that most netbook manufacturers send you copies of the OS on CDROM [18:09] Anyone got any idea how one sets up a ICS on 2 ubuntu 10.04 machines using a crossover cable? eth1 is going insane at the moment lol [18:09] so basically I cant login as Root in ubuntu? [18:09] i have some serious trouble [18:09] My computer won't go to sleep anymore. Anyone have an idea? According to /var/log/messages, there's nothing going wrong, just suspending everything then resuming everything... [18:09] only sudo commands? [18:09] my brother wants to switch from win to ubuntu [18:10] Quantum_Ion: they do not give you a drive though === jmk is now known as jmk1234 [18:10] nadav: "sudo -i" will give you a root login shell [18:10] raindemon, wtf ??? === ubuntu is now known as vitooo [18:10] nadav, That's right. But you can set up a root account if you want. It's discouraged to have both systems in place though. [18:10] but he has an acer 5315 and the cpu fan doesn't spin [18:10] I have ubuntu 10.04. I have the machine connected to my TV via HDMI. Is it possible to get audio from the same HDMI cable? My system is quiet and I cant get the sound to work at all. I see the card is installed and not muted... I choose hardware HDMI but no sound When I try to force/test each soundport its says busy when i try HDMI [18:10] glebihan, I see [18:10] jo_: sorry didn't really understand, you meant with other commands or still curl [18:10] ? [18:10] Quantum_Ion: there was a CD i the package [18:10] glebihan: As su does? [18:11] sresu: yes [18:11] mikke__, It is possible. I don't know how. [18:11] edbian, another thing, I try to connect to my router in the console interface [18:11] raindemon, Dude wouldn't it be obvious if you have the OS on cdrom you would need to purchase an external USB DVD-RW drive, seriously [18:11] Quantum_Ion: and a recovery partition on the hdd [18:11] How to control cpu fan under ubuntu? [18:11] nadav, Does your router have a web interface or a cli? [18:11] web interface [18:11] Quantum_Ion: there was a preinstalld os image [18:11] raindemon, Dude hard drives fail all the time [18:11] this one is awesome.. Try it.. http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix [18:11] nadav, then you have to use a graphical browser like firefox [18:11] its a cheap one, should I assume it does not support a cli? [18:11] 01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01100010 01100101 01100001 01110101 01110100 01101001 01100110 01110101 01101100 [18:11] glebihan: also other commands [18:11] Quantum_Ion: possible [18:11] anyone? about acer cpu fan issues under ubuntu? [18:12] raindemon, How old are you ? [18:12] jo_: you don't use a "&" at the end of the command, right ? [18:12] Quantum_Ion: 19 [18:12] halvor: Whats the issue? [18:12] whols [18:12] nadav, Most likely not. But if it does maybe telnet ? IDK [18:12] is Ubuntu 10.10 good ? [18:12] glebihan: no, I've investigated that, but sometimes I right afther I've started the command a [1]bla bla bla [18:12] any1 [18:12] raindemon, Guess I will have to give you the benefit of the doubt because you are a teenager [18:12] hello [18:12] Quantum_Ion: dude [18:12] sresu: it simply doesn't work and the laptop switches of to avoid overheating [18:13] it's evil am2 [18:13] am2, yes [18:13] halvor: Which laptop?

[18:40] glebihan: apache is running [18:40] sh4d3sl4y3r_: depends on the games, would try wine first [18:40] sorsis: what error do you get when try to load the page ? [18:40] glebihan: portas.conf sais that apache is listening 80 [18:40] glebihan: say directx9 dependent ones instead of Opengl. like gta etc [18:41] valetudo: it looks like the disk is ok; do « udisks --mount /dev/sda1 » [18:41] sh4d3sl4y3r_: same answer, but you'll find out that a lot of games won't work either way [18:41] hmm [18:41] glebihan: web page cannot be found [18:41] stewartnairn, Are you hooking up your bass or guitar to a Tascam US-122L Audio/MIDI Interface under Ubuntu Linux ?

I get 11.4MiB/s and zero errors copying from the Duo to the desktop. I get 10.3MiB/s and thousands of RX dropped packets on the desktop when copying from the desktop to the Duo. I copied a 250M file and that caused 22500+ dropped RX packets. What's up with that? Any ideas, suggestions? [18:42] sh4d3sl4y3r_: right answer for gamers: dual boot.. windows games are very hit miss under both of those options.. [18:42] dogmatic69: that command i gave might not be entirely valid [18:43] tensorpudding: :( [18:43] dogmatic69: depending on whether the files have spaces in the names [18:43] Ken8521: i am already dual booting . but just to take another quantum leap towards giving up windows [18:43] glebihan: connected [18:43] and gaming is the only reason i use it [18:43] valetudo: worked? it mounted? [18:43] tensorpudding: nope [18:43] no spaces [18:43] hi guys [18:43] dogmatic69: also it assumes that you are inside the directory with the files, and that they are zipped using zip, and that you have the program unzip installed [18:43] i am using ubuntu 10.04, i am unable to install kdevelop using "sudo apt-get install kdevelop". How do I get kdevelop [18:44] ? [18:44] sh4d3sl4y3r_: yeah, unfortunately for gamers... i don't see you being able to completely dump windows... not w/o a lot of headache... [18:44] stewartnairn: Yes this is it, ask away and someone might be able to help you =) [18:44] glebihan: connection closed [18:44] Under windows I hook up all sorts.

[18:44] dogmatic69: if they're gzipped instead, you'd replace the .zip with .gz and the unzip with gunzip [18:44] sorsis: ok so the problem is coming from apache [18:44] glebihan: agreed [18:44] zap85: perhaps its not called that. [18:44] tensorpudding: ye they are *.gz [18:44] i have gunzip [18:45] unzip [18:45] sorsis: could you pastebin your "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default" file ? [18:45] dogmatic69: zip and gzip are two different formats [18:45] I know someone who is planning to request two dozen discs from shipit by giving different email addresses [18:45] yip [18:45] PovAddict: if he asked.. he could proberly get a packakge of them [18:46] I told him to just request one and make copies, but he wants the nice CD case and all... is there any alternative? [18:46] glebihan: just a sec [18:46] I see it as an abuse of shipit's resources to request free discs like that [18:47] (getting one is justified, since his internet speed sucks) [18:47] PovAddict: i belive they can make larger shipments if you talk to them. and justify it.. Like for a school.. [18:47] a 10 pack of CDr's.. is about what ? $3-$4? why not just download the ISO, and go on a burning frenzy.. rather than going to the hassle of waiting 6-8 weeks on shipit [18:48] Theres places that sell them also with stickers and nice extras for reasonable prices [18:48] Can I upgrade a 8.10 machine to run 10.10 just by running apt-get dist-upgrade ? [18:48] totic: not directly [18:48] glebihan: so I would have to be there to do it? [18:48] totic: no; you have to go 8.10-->9.04-->9.10-->10.04-->10.10 [18:48] can I do it remotely? [18:49] totic: so a fressh install is better option i'd say [18:49] totic: thats not a good idea [18:49] or are there any steps that I can't do through ssh [18:49] totic: a fresh/new install IS a much better idea.. [18:49] cat /proc/asound/card gives me output with three identified cards., 0,1and 2. I presume that I actually want my us-122l is in position2 I presume that I want it t be 0 but not sure how to do that. Any ideas? [18:49] totic: I guess you could do it remotely, but I'd go for a fresh install too [18:49] Ken8521: well, getting one is justified, he's on 3G internet with close-to-dialup speeds... but I told him to request just one and make copies, but the wants the nice packaging/stickers/stuff that comes with the shipit disc [18:49] glebihan: the machine is remote [18:49] how to get flash working on ubuntu amd 64 bit ? [18:50] so I can't just pop in a cd a run it [18:50] mobasher: install it using the package manager. [18:50] totic, make sure you know how to use rsync and have an external hard drive to backup your important files then burn a new Ubuntu Linux iso and install from there [18:50] !flash | mobasher [18:50] mobasher: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:50] PovAddict: i guess... [18:50] I just installed ubuntu on my sister's laptop and I can't get the wireless network to work. I went into the self help thing and it says I need to Obtain the Windows Driver for your system and locate the file that ends with .inf. What Driver do I need? [18:50] Quantum_Ion: I am not anywhere near the computer, its in an office far far away [18:50] Dr_Willis, I installed flash the regular one flash-nofree or something...it didn't work i was not able to view the flash contents ? [18:50] ZMaine: what driver is this [18:50] ZMaine: rather, what wireless chipset is it [18:51] i've apps that need update from inet.... unfortunately it hasn't option to use authenticated http-proxy on my college [18:51] totic: well you can try, but there's no guarantee on if running 4 upgrades in a row will get you to a nicely working system [18:51] what's the solution [18:51] mobasher: at what site? its worked for me with very few issues on dozens of machines. [18:51] AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter [18:51] ZMaine, Try google ubuntu linux with the make and model of your sisters laptop and see if there are any issues [18:51] ZMaine: that device should work out of the box... i have it [18:51] ?! [18:51] ZMaine: what version of ubuntu did you install? 10.04 ? [18:51] Hey [18:51] ZMaine: what version of Ubuntu are you using?... cuz it's not been called 242x for a while [18:52] My friend gave me a CD while back, it's 8.10 [18:52] what is with everyond using 8.10 today? :) [18:52] this is pissing me off :( why is it Windows is unable to detect my driver [18:52] Dr_Willis, i can't remember the site now...but i'll do the diggin again and find for u [18:52] Dr_Willis, lol [18:52] ZMaine: i suggest getting a 10.10 CD when they come out tomorrow.. [18:52] while ubuntu can ? [18:52] ZMaine: thats why, you have to patch the driver.. .plus, 8.10 is EOL... you need to download and install 10.04 or 10.10, and the wireless would work [18:52] ZMaine: it'd probably be wise to upgrade first [18:52] hi. One quick question: [18:52] is it safe to put a netbook in suspend mode, put it on a bag and then walk/run/jump/ski-dive? [18:52] Dr_Willis, Guess they have a lot of Ubuntu Linux 8.10 cd's floating around [18:52] Ok, thanks for your help. === corey is now known as frewsxcv [18:52] ZMaine: you're in luck, 8.04 is an LTS release, so you can upgrade right to 10.04, the current stable release [18:53] (I'm mainly asking about the reliability of suspend mode related to HDD activity) [18:53] Quantum_Ion: i helped a guy last night running 6.06, trying to do a "grub2 repair"..lol [18:53] Ken8521, rofl [18:53] What does "bs=4096" mean in dd commands? [18:53] sresu, bit chuck size [18:53] Dr_Willis: I'm thinking about switching back to Warty Warthog ;) [18:53] Alright, thanks, I'll try that. I'll be back if I have any more troubles [18:53] sresu, You're copying things in chunks of 4096 bits [18:53] sresu: it will make the dd command faster in many cases. [18:53] how do you view your screen using ssh? [18:53] glebihan: anorexic amoeba [18:53] Dr_Willis, i installed ->sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer but the site is not working http://www.warnerbros.com/all/us/plugins/flash.html [18:53] Dr_Willis, Was that really the first one?! [18:54] lol [18:54] pie_time: you dont, You use VNC or some other remote desktyp type app for that.. you CAN ssh in and run 'gnome-session' or just a single app and have it appear locally. [18:54] edbian: Dr_Willis: I'm trying to duplicate hard disk,... so what should I do in using dd? Will this work < dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdb2 bs=4096 conv=noerror> Or should I go for ddrescue? [18:54] looking for an app to edit and encode video footage (in avi format) before it gets uploaded to youtube [18:54] Hello [18:54] edbian: :) No.. first one was Pulsating Protazoa [18:54] really pissed of [18:54] edbian: no the first one was warty warthog [18:54] well, they didn't get alphabetical, until Dapper IIRC.. and before that was warty warthog, breezy badger... [18:54] ._. [18:55] Is it possible to use the same separate home drive when doing a new install of ubuntu if it was encrypted? [18:55] sresu: are you having read errors? if so ddrescue may be needed.. [18:55] anyone suggest what is new in ubuntu 10.10 vs 10.04 ? [18:55] Dr_Willis, don't worry about it..it worked :) thanks bud [18:55] Zain__: everything is updated... [18:55] !eol > edbian there's a list of Ubuntu distros... [18:55] edbian, please see my private message [18:55] like ? [18:55] sresu: i fixed it [18:55] So is it possible? [18:55] Zain__: check the dozens of Ubuntu news and blog sites...

[18:56] Zain__: programs are updated, etc.. not really a huge jump between 10.04-10.10.... [18:56] sresu, Well that would copy to the same disk... so it would have no effect [18:56] sresu: you can use fsarchiver to archive a filesystem to a file, for backup purposes if thats your goal. [18:56] sresu: what is your end goal? [18:56] Is it possible to use the same separate home partition when doing a new install of ubuntu if it was encrypted? [18:56] halvor: you coudl edit the /etc/default/grub and add the option to the proper line in there, then rerun update-grub === jewsucanuse is now known as LLStarks [18:56] Zain__: software center gets more useful, new special font called Ubuntu, theme tweaks, and of course lots of programs get updated [18:57] Ken8521: put it in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub [18:57] well [18:57] Dr_Willis: thank you [18:57] what about the VLC [18:57] Thanks ubottu. I just installed ubuntu on my sister's laptop and I can't get the wireless network to work.

[18:57] f-spot was replaced with shotwell [18:57] 1.06 for so long [18:57] glebihan: what are you talking about? [18:57] Dr_Willis: he told me he already tried a special request a while ago and nothing arrived [18:57] and ubuntu one gets more integrated === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [18:57] Dr_Willis: won't that cause a problem? my brother is trying wubi only [18:57] Zain__: theres always vlc ppa's .. I see version [18:57] glebihan: http://pastebin.com/VFJp8pTG [18:57] Dr_Willis, does ubuntu come with out-of-the-box support for vnc, or do you have to install some kind of server? [18:57] ~$ vlc --version [18:57] if I lose my gpg passphrase ... am I screwed? [18:57] VLC media player 1.1.4 The Luggage (revision exported) [18:57] Dr_Willis: I just bought Dell Inspiron 101z. It has Windows with it. But formatting and installing Ubuntu, I just want to take copy/image of it on my USD HDD... [18:58] lahwran: pretty much, yes [18:58] Ken8521: in the file /etc/default/grub, you'll have a line looking like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="", replace it by GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi=off" and run "update-grub" [18:58] can I swear? [18:58] pie_time: gnome has a vnc server feature built in. If you want to share the 'current visible desktop' [18:58] I tried downloaded one [18:58] I got 1.06 [18:58] good afternoon everyone [18:58] PovAddict: I thought you almost never needed the passphrase [18:58] Dr_Willis: hence i asked about dd [18:58] lahwran: I already got screwed that way; but my key wasn't signed by anyone so I just created a new one [18:58] PovAddict: so I made something /hard/ [18:58] *brb* will come back in 10 to ask my ? [18:58] i have followed the instructions here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-advanced-tftp-server-in-ubuntu.html to set up a PXE server, but when I try to boot from it I just get "PXE-E053 - No Boot Filename Received" anyone know why? [18:58] Dr_Willis, i've tried everything to view it, is there a howto [18:58] lahwran: you need the passphrase every time you use your gpg key to sign/encrypt anything [18:58] PovAddict: crap. [18:58] sresu: personally now a days when i get a new laptop. I buy a 2nd hd. :) and put linux on that. and keep the windows HD on a shelf in a bag with warnign stickers on it. :) [18:59] need help with virtualbox someone pm plz [18:59] sorsis: ok so I guess you forgot the first line "", right ? [18:59] glebihan: i still don't understand what you're saying.. i don't have a grub problem. [18:59] Dr_Willis: Ha... thats cool :) [18:59] Dr_Willis: it's grub2 the file in /etc/default/grub isn't where i could add the "apci=off" [18:59] pie_time: you run that 'remote desktop' tool, and follow its directions.. it does work ONLY on a local lan. Not over the internet as far as i know. [18:59] Dr_Willis: And the 2n hd gets no problem.. in terms of hardware? [18:59] YAY I REMEMBERED IT!!!! [18:59] glebihan: thats in top of file but not in pastebin [18:59] halvor: thats where you can add defatult boot options... [18:59] pie_time: are you still working on remote desktop? [19:00] As I am learning to program I am going through (what I think is) a good python/programming tutorial. My question to the more experienced programmers, especially those who are good at teaching, is should I take a break every few chapters and right original programs using the features of python that I am learning about so that they sink in, or should I just trudge through the tutorial until I am finished? [19:00] Ken8521: oops sorry wrong person [19:00] lahwran: :) [19:00] * lahwran jumps up and down and waves his hands around [19:00] Ken8521, yesx [19:00] yes [19:00] geez... i thought i had it bad.

[19:01] oh [19:01] ;) [19:01] Dr_Willis: i check again, sorry :) [19:01] pie_time: on a local lan? could be a firewall issue i guess.. i rarely use the feature. [19:01] Figured out why the values were low -- I wasn't entirely on the gigabit. Now that I am, uploading is *half* the speed of downloading. WTH? [19:01] soreau: sorry, wrong person again... [19:01] zap85: re: installing kdevelop, what Ubuntu version do you have? [19:01] sorsis: yes thought so, this looks good, do you have anything in /var/www ?

When I hibernate, the shutdown screen looks somewhat messy, with half of the ubuntulogo gone (upper part is there). When it wakes up there is just a blank purple screen that doesn't respond to anything else than a hardboot. [19:03] Dr_Willis: that thing must be huge [19:03] hello guys.. will it be possible to dual boot Ubuntu 10.4 and fedora13? [19:03] why not? [19:03] How can I keep my encrypted home partition when doing a clean install of ubuntu?

[19:04] fyi, the hibernation has worked when running windows xp. It's now dualbooting both without issues. Both are quite freshly installed [19:04] Quantum_Ion: Yes want to connect guitars, keyboard etc to record as I did under windows. Would be happy just to be able to use US-122L as external sound card to play music, videos etc from my computer through it to my music system as I can under windows, and can under ubuntu with a Edirol ua-20 [19:04] Need help with oracle VM virtualbox [19:04] sorsis: ok so should be ok, could you also pastebin your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file ? [19:04] Is there any gnome theme manager ?

[19:05] glebihan: customize [19:05] Apollo8: should you read the docs for a VERY complex program ? i think thats a yes.. [19:05] Dr_willis: k thanks [19:06] Apollo8: i have used it for ages.. and every so often i go back and reread them [19:06] zayr: well there are a few things you can customize via System->preferences->Appearance [19:06] Dr_Willis: alienware or somesuch? [19:06] zayr: further than that I don't think there is any gui tool to customize a theme [19:06] bcgrown: nope. a Toshiba. ALienware is overrated :) [19:06] Dr_willis: im a ubuntu noob where do i go to view the docs? [19:06] Dr_Willis: ah, didn't realize anyone else made beasts like that [19:06] glebihan: there was [19:06] Apollo8: Virtualbox homepage has a nice PDF manual.

[19:06] Dr_Willis: Space for two HD's? Which laptop? [19:07] bcgrown: its getting where alienware is having a harder time keeping 'ahead' of whats common. :) [19:07] is wordpress under the repos for ubuntu 10.04? [19:07] Dr_Willis: are you talking about e SATA> [19:07] glebihan: i dont know i saw that on some custom theme screen and there was that software [19:07] Dr_Willis: i'm not really surprised since Dell owns the brand now [19:07] glebihan: i need to install xorg. a bit big file to be written by hand... i'm using virtual server [19:07] sresu: a x505 - i dident even realize it Had the extra slot - till i took i home and saw a 'sdd1/sdd2/cdrom' option in the boot menus/bios. I moved a Linxu HD into the new slot.. and linux going fine in less then 5 min.

[19:08] are there known issues with hibernation on AMD machines? [19:08] www.facebook.com - > book.com [19:08] argh [19:09] I'm used to the errorfree intel =) [19:09] arvut: theres all sorts of issues depending on many things, bios, cpu, hardware, drivers... it just depends.. [19:09] right [19:09] ive seen some intel 'systems' that are definatly not error free these days. [19:09] its all fine now! no need for my brother to get close to command lines [19:10] will investigate it further then, hopefully that pc will be able to hibernate w/o probs soon. [19:10] halvor: what's wrong with the commandline? [19:10] zayr: is that what you were talking about ? http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/11/25/gnome-theme-manager-to-support-color-scheme-customization/ [19:10] i dont bother with hibernate or suspend any more.. ubuntu boots so fast.. i dont need the hassles [19:11] glebihan: nope [19:11] Dr_Willis: SSD boots much faster. Do you know if we can use SSD on HDD ports? [19:11] Dr_Willis: the thing about hibernate or suspend for me isn't how fast Ubuntu boots -- it's how fast it enters hibernate or suspend. [19:11] how is the kernel with the switchable graphics ? [19:11] not ready yet; afaik [19:11] sresu: they got SDD hard drives that replace sata hard drives.. drop in replacements.. [19:12] blakkheim: my brother is new to linux... [19:12] Dr_Willis: Yeah, but will it connect? [19:12] my work requires that I use Cisco's VPN Client with IPSec to connect. What would be an alternative client to use with Ubuntu 10.04? [19:12] sresu: Huh? its an sata hard drive... [19:12] its just using solid state.. thats how they work. :) [19:12] zayr: maybe this will do what you're looking for : http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/try-gstyle-project-new-gnome-theme.html [19:12] sresu: externally it's identical to a normal hard disk [19:13] Dr_Willis: Yes.. I mean Like how we have power and data ports in HDD. Whats there in SSD? [19:13] same connectors [19:13] sresu: its same as a sata hd.. it IS an sata hd... [19:13] Are there any rumours about improving ubuntu security ? [19:13] anyone got an email notifier working for imap accounts (preferrably with idle) working on their ubuntu? tried cgmail, but it does not remember the accounts added after shutdown and restart, tried everything available in symantic, for various reasons none work, and I don't want to use evolution. [19:13] zayr: what parts of its security aren't good enough? [19:13] zayr: As in? Ubuntu is very secure [19:14] ASLR [19:14] :( [19:14] isn't that already enabled? [19:14] fishcooker: ive not used the squid caching proxy in ages... last i used it.. it was rather trivial to get going.. install it. set the browser proxy to use it.. [19:14] Is there StackShield ? or something ? [19:14] glebihan: htpp://pastebin.com/ZA0E7CVJ [19:14] sometimes when i try to transfer an mp3 to my ipod in RhythmBox it says 'Error transfering track. Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.81 was not provided by any .service files". How do i fix this? [19:15] there's some ASLR since 6.06 [19:15] hi everybody, i'm trying to copy a licensed copy of Vista into ISO format so i could install it inside vm (i tried installing it using the 5 CDs but it wouldn't copy everything) and the 5th CD is taking too longer (longer than other CDs); is there anyway to correct this? when i try to install it on a physical system (no vm), it's able to install without any problem [19:15] dr_willis :D [19:15] windows fonts are not being displayed in gtk-bases applications, any ideas why? althow they are available ant the applications can even list them in their font selection [19:15] zayr: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features [19:15] Ubunt is as secure as the programs you run on it. [19:16] sresu: its a Toshiba X505 , i dont have any urls on it. Other then what i found at the toshiba web site. Its proberly been replaced by a differnt model by this time. It was on 'sale' when i got it. [19:16] PovAddict: no rumours about adding PaX ? This have only small problems with a most of applications [19:16] im kinda confused with user: password option on the parent http-proxy [19:16] dr_willis === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [19:16] fishcooker: i never used any password options when i setup squid. [19:16] zayr: PaX by the looks of it will never hit mainline linux [19:17] :( === Cain` is now known as Cain [19:17] erUSUL: And thats the problem ? [19:17] sorsis: well that's weird, everything looks ok, does the "www-data" user have correct access permissions to the index.html file ? [19:17] Apollo8: chat in the main channel please.. and state the whole of the problem.. we have short attention spans on IRC. [19:17] zayr: what problem? if you want to use PaX patch your kernel [19:17] glebihan: where do i chech it? [19:18] erUSUL: but should be nice to have it out of box :P [19:18] zayr: also have a look at gnome-color-chooser [19:19] sorsis: ls -l /var/www/index.html [19:19] glebihan: that you gave is ok for my gf [19:19] zayr: kernel developers tend to disagree with you; that's why it has not been integrated... [19:19] zayr: ok nice [19:19] glebihan: r access for all [19:19] glebihan: thank you [19:19] zayr: you're welcome [19:20] Hi is the release candidate the final version of ubuntu 10.10? [19:20] sorsis: and what about "ls -l /var/www" ? [19:20] erUSUL: but how is Ubuntu related to kernel problems ? they are making distro from parts which they want [19:20] ganeshran: almost [19:20] glebihan: same [19:20] glebihan: could it be because i run ubuntu in virtualbox? [19:20] glebihan: So will there be a RTM later, or does ubuntu not have it? [19:21] sorsis: sure could... [19:21] ganeshran: RTM ? [19:21] hi [19:21] Release to market. Some software have a version out after RC [19:21] http://www.phillylinux.org/keys/terminal.html#after << on this page, what does it mean by "the corresponding keys."? [19:22] This may not be specifically an "ubuntu" related question, more just a general *nix question, but how can I list all the users on my system who use csh as their login shell? [19:22] oh wait I get it :) [19:22] ganeshran: yes the official release will happen tomorrow [19:22] Dr_willis: it says now when i run something on VB it says. Fatal: no bootable medium found! System halted. [19:22] cool. [19:22] sorsis: never tried apache on a virtualbox but I guess it could raise some issues [19:23] Hi there. [19:23] zayr: ubuntu made a choice too; you have apparmor by default and selinux in the repos [19:23] sorsis: btw, why are you running apache in a virtualbox system ? [19:23] Apollo8: you need to insert some sort of bootable cd, or other medium same as you would a real machine.. Such as a ubuntu.iso or other OS iso file, or a real optical disk and set up virtualbox to use that disk. [19:23] Does anybody know how to sync the iphone with ubuntu 10.10? [19:24] !iphone > Metapersona [19:24] Metapersona, please see my private message [19:24] glebihan: doing school work with windows. [19:24] Ok glebihan [19:24] Dr_willis: like a recovery disk? [19:24] hello! i'm trying to get internet on my Ubuntu computer by following this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9446984&postcount=6 how should i put that in to the terminal? Every row and then press enter? Or everything in once [19:24] 24.00 o'clock ubuntu 10.10 ? [19:25] when is the final Ubuntu ISO created? [19:25] I know it takes a while between final iso and release to the world, eg. to give time for mirrors to sync [19:25] DanneD-swe: press enter between each row [19:25] Apollo8: most windows 'recovery disks' are for specific hardware.. and may not work proerly in virtualbox. [19:25] thanks [19:25] Apollo8: if you want an os to test.. try a 'tiny core linux' iso file. its only 10mb. [19:26] glebihan: httpd seem to look fine from virtualbox [19:26] Dr_Willis: huh, what's that? [19:26] Dr_Willis: kernel + busybox? :P [19:26] glebihan: just can't open page from windows [19:26] PovAddict: it has X and flvwm for its window manager. [19:26] wow [19:26] launchpad.net says ubuntu 10.10 release in 5 hours [19:26] glebihan: i get "it works" web page [19:26] sorsis: that's normal as the virtualbox has no actual IP [19:26] Dr_willis: where do i get this? [19:26] PovAddict: think of it as a 'cloud os' sort of thing. [19:27] Apollo8: at the 'tiny core linux' home page.. [19:27] hi all [19:27] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kpuwlg6cVU [19:27] cloud? === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [19:27] tiny core linux [19:27] so it downloads stuff on boot or what? [19:27] MT [19:27] glebihan: can virtualbox route traffic so that it could work as server? [19:27] PovAddict: it can download on the fly as needed, or be set up other ways. its a very flexiable 'design' [19:27] sorsis: yes.. you just need to set up the network to "bridge" so it will call for it's own IP [19:28] sorsis: you can set up a vbox session/os to work as (for example) a web server for the lan to access. yes. [19:28] sorsis: no idea, you'd probably better ask that on #vbox [19:28] anybody can help me with virtualbox???? [19:28] sorsis: as if it was a real physical machine [19:28] When i do the step ''cd compat-wireless*'' the terminal returns [19:28] it send me a error message [19:28] Not a directory [19:28] chus225: #vbox [19:28] chus225: state the whold problem. and what you are doing when it gives an error. [19:28] DanneD-swe, you forgot the * at the end [19:28] and - it PAYS to read the virtualbox manual/guide at its homepage. and the ubuntu virtualbox wiki pages. [19:29] Ken8521 Dr_Willis glebihan Thank you [19:29] the error is about file acpi.sys while i try to install windows xp [19:29] DanneD-swe, maybe? [19:29] sorsis: you're welcome [19:29] DanneD-swe, I mean, you should substitute the * with the correct version [19:29] hi all [19:30] anodesni: it still returns the same thing [19:30] DanneD-swe: why not just « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic » instead of compiling yourself? [19:30] DanneD-swe: type "cd compat-wireless" and press TAB to autocomplete the filename [19:30] im using ubuntu desktop. is there a way to get it to automatically log in to my chat accounts when i log in to Ubuntu? [19:31] i tried adding Empathy to the autostart list, but that adds an axtra icon to the panel. i dont want tat [19:31] Dr_willis: it opened up xfburn, now what? [19:31] erusul: I need to have internet for that, don't I? [19:31] + [19:31] DanneD-swe: yes [19:32] erUSUL: that's the problem. I don't have internet :) [19:32] DanneD-swe: how do you got the tarball ? [19:33] Someone tested the multi-touch of 10.10 in the HP Pavillion TX2501us? If yes, worked? [19:33] erUSUL: Tarball? [19:34] DanneD-swe: the .tar.bz2 file [19:34] DanneD-swe: the compat wireless source code [19:34] Apollo8: you configure Virtualbox to use the iso.. you dont just double click on the iso... [19:34] erUSUL: From another computer, i moved it with a USB-stick :) [19:35] I can't decide if it's really worth it to learn perl [19:35] hellp [19:35] DanneD-swe: packages.ubuntu.com get the deb from there. use a usb stick ;) [19:36] hello === cdbob_ is now known as cdbob [19:36] ask your question raypeng [19:36] Braber01: learn the basics.. its handy at times.. and learning 'regular expressions' will help in many other languages [19:36] gpodder: broken sqlite database any help???

[19:44] DanneD-swe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-24-generic [19:44] GuySoft:TBH, that's a more natural thing for a web app to do than a desktop app [19:44] DanneD-swe: there you have the links for 32 or 64 bits [19:45] mattbd, yes but i dont want to upload around 2000 images [19:46] ... just to see i tagged them wrong or something :-/ [19:46] should i just run the ''apt-get'' command now? [19:47] GuySoft: Fair enough - maybe there's an Adobe AIR app that'll do it? I'll have a quick look [19:47] I have it on my usb stick [19:47] gpodder: broken sqlite database any help??? [19:47] DanneD-swe: now when you boot Ubuntu, double click it, and hopefully it won't have any dependency problems [19:47] then i imagine when you restart your wireless will(hopefully) be working [19:48] DanneD-swe: just double clicking on the deb file should beggin the install [19:48] frankly, if it were me, i'd have went and bought a 3ft ethernet cord and hooked up to the router/modem.

They are broken and sound like crap, and i have my other speakers plugged in. But sound is still coming through the built in ones... [20:03] Hi all [20:03] csmith1994: I think Xubuntu might be a bit heavy too - Lubuntu sounds a better bet [20:04] csmith1994, perhaps using wubi? not sure if that will work in your situation [20:04] gn0men00b: Right click on Applications, click on edit menus, click on administration and you can add it there [20:04] ridz16: Put my nick first on every line or i might miss your output. No, the physical settings on the HD (jumpers). But you can also rewrite grub.conf to point to the new HD (0,1) (1,2) or so [20:05] alzie, there isn't possible to add the menu too... =/ [20:05] Hi. When I am trying to watch flash videos it runs at a very high rate like fast forward. How can I fix this?

[20:06] alzie, can u go there (right clicking) and see the command line responsible for that menu plz? [20:06] mattbd: I think my ethernet drivers are out of date though :( gonna have to check [20:06] csmith1994, ah I thought there was an online version of wubi [20:07] ridz16: | | | | <- pins with a plastic bit put between two of the metal thingies. [20:07] erUSUL: So, now update manager is done. Was there something else you tought i should do? :) [20:07] errmm hello ^^ there is no xorg.conf in 9.10 right? ^^ [20:07] csmith1994:If all else fails you could try Tiny Core Linux or Damn Small Linux [20:07] DanneD-swe: scroll back ;P [20:07] mattbd, Do you know Linux On a Floppy is still active aka L.O.A.F ? [20:08] Artarfon, you mean the SATA cable? the red looking cable [20:08] lol who uses floppies anymore [20:08] upis: there is, but I can't get online on that pc and have no easy way of file transfer. mattbd: How could I boot that without cd or usb or network [20:08] hehe true.

[20:08] ah, no network [20:08] that'll be interesting then [20:09] alzie, can you please go through the menu, right clicking, go to administration, and have a look at the command line of the hardware pannel?

[22:33] Ken8521: it's a common issue [22:33] just leave blank the domain for first try [22:33] for some reason I have WORKGROUP as my domain, and it comes back persistently) [22:34] it is ok [22:34] ilovefairuz: Hi how can i get rid of the internet keying for my internet password please help anyone thanks [22:34] so again.. read the whole question [22:34] hi everyone it's 10.10.10 in romania [22:34] Workgroup is ok [22:34] do not change it [22:34] could anyone help me a bit with VNC? i've connected to a LAN ubuntu pc and when i move windows around i can see it on the host but not the client, though i can see the desktop when as it is when i first start it up...

Anybody knows how to work out the problem? [22:50] D3luSi0n4L: personal inventory ? [22:50] how do i search for packages from the command line? aptitude search doesnt seem to twork [22:50] yes, sharing full have drive may be problem under windows since is normally automaticly shared under the path "DriveLetter#" like "\\computername\c# [22:50] lemme link you to an example [22:50] gilaniali: it should [22:50] so try to access that path instead being your user a member of the administrators group === mike is now known as Guest6829 [22:51] and you do not need to share the folder [22:51] can someone plese explain how to make a flash drive persistent _without_ partitioning? [22:51] http://www.koingosw.com/products/librarianpro.php === Guest6829 is now known as mike32547 [22:51] thats what im looking for [22:51] BUT you may have to reestart your machine since u have being playing with sharing your root drives xd [22:51] hi [22:52] unshare hard drives, then reestart then access trought network driveletter with the # simbol [22:52] pj \\192.168.1.10\c# [22:52] ohhh i mistaken [22:52] erUSUL: aptitude search bazaar yields nothing, but aptitude search bzr works. Is there a way to search descriptions and not just names? [22:53] WTF ﷒ [22:53] not the # symbol but the $ symbol [22:53] er, I looked up and saw your tangas thing, very funny ;p it (it's hard to read using this webchat thing). ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh $ that makes much more sense, yes, I have a C$ right there [22:53] there you got xd [22:53] gilaniali: apt-cache search seems to give more results for a given search [22:54] so long not using windows, i mean, computers at all xddddd [22:54] Amaro, i think that you crash when i write something, no ? ï·’ [22:54] no that i have a computer im just trying ubuntu, got tired of windows before quiting computing xddd [22:54] now* [22:54] haha, poor windows, nobody likes it [22:54] I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to help me get started since this would be my first and I haven't got a clue to be honest. I have an old computer which Im thinking of installing Ubuntu onto and thinking of making it some sort of media server in my living, where I will hook it up to my tv and use boxee or xbmc. my problem now is though im not sure how I would set this ubuntu up as a sort of server wh [22:54] ere I can upload to its hard drive media from other computers around the house [22:55] sry but wtf ï·’ [22:55] but, uh, wait.. I shared my C drive and, uh, I have three folders, ADMIN$, barboza (the name of the original admin), and C$ [22:55] Aer, you could just do a normal install if you want a gui anyway. [22:55] guys nvidia x server setting only shows when I install nvidia-current-modaliases, when I try to install nvidia-current (only) it does not work. [22:56] why? [22:56] yes a gui way would be nice since it would be for the family [22:56] I get into barboza and I see the contents of C but I can't change anything [22:56] aef, though make sure your computer is not too old for boxee/xmbc [22:56] but im unsure of how to make it so we can upload to this ubuntu box in the living room thats on the tv from our other computers [22:56] sorry if you have to repeat yourself but this webchat is terrible, I see half the things you say and I have to search the whole thing to try and find the rest [22:56] unshare your c drive on the shared tab option, then reestart and it will be automaticly be shared as c$ [22:56] erUSUL: hey nvm I found an application [22:56] D3luSi0n4L: ok [22:56] erUSUL: GCstar Collections Manager [22:56] =P thanks anyways [22:56] ok, i will check the specs when i get it out thanks step21 :) [22:57] Testing message from empathy [22:57] ï·’ [22:57] wait, ok, I'll unshare it, but [22:57] Aer, samba share I guess. Or have some sort of media server on the other computer (itunes etc.) to stream [22:57] if your user is a member of the computer administrators group, it will let you read and write by default [22:57] !who | Tongas this might help [22:57] Serialk: please join #ubuntu-ops [22:57] Tongas this might help: 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 :) [22:57] somethign has to be shared, hah =p [22:57] hm [22:57] erUSUL: 1 last thing, will an upgrade from 512mb to 1.5gb of ram help with HD Video playback on say youtube? [22:57] with samba would it allow other computers to connect to it and transfer video and audio files to it ? [22:58] no you dont need to share anything since the full hard drive is automaticly shared full control to computer administrators with the $ symbol [22:58] D3luSi0n4L: more ram allways help [22:58] thank you Ken8521 =) [22:58] bearing in mind 2 computers that hook up to it will be windows and one will be linux [22:58] ciao [22:58] erUSUL: ya i just wasnt sure whether hd playback was more of a CPu / GFX thing versus ram [22:58] Tongas: assuming someone has set up their client, it also highlights/alerts the person you're talking to. [22:58] Tongas: which really helps in a crowded channel [22:58] I've a%Ãso problems wï·’th utf-8, help ! [22:58] qualcuno può aiutarmi? [22:58] D3luSi0n4L, fast processor (single core speed > multicore speed) is the most important thing [22:59] wendico: so having an admin username and password gives me full access without having to share anything is what you mean? [22:59] ordiclic: may be a keyboard missconfiguration ? check System>Preferences>keyboard [22:59] JodaZ: ya im running a old dell latitude d600 ~ 640mb ram, 1.4ghz P4 [22:59] nobody with any clue? [22:59] anyone ? [22:59] can't get USB audio input device to work with onboard sound card as output device [22:59] Ken8521: :) I see that now. thanks a lot :) [22:59] so im wondering if ill see a signifcant performance boost when replacing the 128mb stick with a 1gb stick + the 512mb [22:59] Tongas: np :) [22:59] D3luSi0n4L, if a non hd video plays fine in fullscreen (or same size as the hd videos) its not the graphics card either [22:59] The audio device is an ST Lightsnake USB cable [23:00] Goes from guitar to usb [23:00] ok ya im assuming it just doesnt have enough memory to play it back so ya [23:00] tongas, thats (c$) is another reason why windows is so secure xddddddddddddd [23:00] Will samba on ubuntu allow window users to connect and upload media/audio files to be viewed on the big screen the ubuntu using samba is hooked up to ? [23:00] upgrading to 1.5gb from 640 should help [23:00] is it out yet? (just kidding people) [23:00] It is. I just downloaded it. [23:01] tough task [23:01] And it looks like Lucid so that's cool. [23:01] D3luSi0n4L, i don't think you will see a boost, check your ram usage to see if its even full [23:01] ok, thaï·’ks erUSUL [23:01] says it works with Linux but I don't know [23:01] D3luSi0n4L, i would definitely upgrade to 1.5gigs anyway. [23:01] Belial`: ok cool i will, thnaks [23:01] wendico: jajaja, ah ;p alright, i'll reset and try.. gracias =) [23:01] JodaZ: where do find cpu usage on linux? [23:02] D3luSi0n4L, Belial`, upgrading that old a machine would be a waste of money if you ask me [23:02] D3luSi0n4L: System>Admin>system monitor [23:02] tongas it will work with all units xddd c$, d$ etc.... [23:02] JodaZ, with ram as cheap as it is now, assuming he doesn't have the cash to get a new machine, i would definitely do it. [23:02] wendico: I think I get you, I'll go see if it works [23:03] Belial`, i just want to make sure he doesn't believe the ram will make hd video actually play fine [23:03] oh, no...i'm not saying that. [23:03] i get what you mean. [23:03] JodaZ: im just experimenting and it'd be $40 for 1gb stick [23:03] also right now [23:03] i just think he'll benefit all together because of it. [23:03] wendico: no se si te deje ir a fumar tu pucho jaja pero bueno, gracias jaja, adios [23:03] lemme check what the hd playback deos to my usage [23:03] brb [23:04] tongas, xdddd i did, not worry, happy to help xdd [23:04] :) [23:05] JodaZ, i'd say his processor is the weak link. [23:05] My probles is that my UNEXPANDED panel comes into the center of the screen instead of aligned to top or botton when i log in or reset panels, any help? [23:05] Belial`, highlight him when you say that [23:05] JodaZ, D3luSi0n4L, i'd say his processor is the weak link. [23:06] D3luSi0n4L, i upgraded my amd1800+ a year or two back because it couldn't play hd video [23:06] wendico: Drag the panel to where you want it [23:06] JodaZ: Belial` ya it is, during regular playback - little to no change in ram, 93 - 99% on CPU [23:07] JodaZ: ya I ahve a desktop with a AMD Phenom II x4 940 / 6GB / Asus EN8800GT Top [23:07] ARtArfon, so i do but it is a pain to do it every boot, any definitive solution? [23:07] would using samba also allow me to set the comp up as a print server ? so i could print from another computer not connected to the printer through what i want as a media server in my living room ? [23:07] JodaZ: but i need to replace the video card so im stuck with this laptop for now [23:07] D3luSi0n4L, JodaZ, even my pentium m 760 2ghz is a little choppy sometimes with hd playback. [23:07] JodaZ: i might just save the $40 and put it towards a new laptop [23:07] yes, flame me - ETA on 10.10? [23:07] * LjL flames richthegeek1 [23:07] * richthegeek1 lols [23:08] if you use vdpau you could even play back hd on an atom cpu [23:08] wendico: Doesnt it save to position of the panel ? /Then you have other issues. [23:08] anyone please help me with a few questions i have about samba on ubuntu ? :( [23:08] sorry, i know it's annoying and it happens all the time every release day - just wondering if it's gonna be midnight PST or what? === Cariyla is now known as Gerwin [23:08] Aer: ask [23:08] !party > richthegeek1 [23:08] richthegeek1, please see my private message [23:08] !anyone | Aer [23:08] Aer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:08] richthegeek1: there are people that decides when; and they do not tell anybody ;P [23:08] would i be able to using samba allow other computers to upload media/audio files to the ubuntu computer that i want as a server [23:09] richthegeek1: its the same answer as every release date [23:09] Belial`, a little choppy sometimes ? did you try playing 1080p high bitrate stuff yet ? [23:09] ubotto can you send me the same pm? I have the same question [23:09] Aer: yes [23:09] and also can samba be used to print [23:09] Aer: again yes [23:09] ok, thanks :) [23:09] I hope they have fixed the crashes and other things ive outlined as upstream. [23:09] ArtArfon, it looks that it is saved the position so the right position is cheched on the panel properties but anyways if the EXPAND option is not checked the panel cames always in the middle of the screen [23:09] !party > D3luSi0n4L [23:09] D3luSi0n4L, please see my private message [23:09] D3luSi0n4L, its a bot, you can trigger it the same way it has been done [23:09] i have the same problem in several computers with clean default installation [23:09] are they waiting until midnight or something to release it? yesterday they updated the counter in the middle of the day [23:09] !party [23:09] Please remember that #ubuntu, #kubuntu, #xubuntu, and #edubuntu are support channels.

[23:10] I will install ubuntu on my old computer with samba then and see how it goes there seem to be a few guides on samba online so i'll give it a try now i know it can do what i need :) [23:10] JodaZ, mostly 720p. 1080p gets a little choppy. it can handle it for the most part. but this processor is the base for core duo, so it's held up well. but it's single core and 32bit. [23:10] !samba > Aer [23:10] Aer, please see my private message [23:10] wendico: Aha, it should take the Shrunken panel and calcualte the left vs the right sizes and place it in the center of those values. [23:10] when logging into my ubuntu machine via ssh first thing i get displayed is landscape-sysinfo, thats nice. second thing displayed i f there are packages to be updated and if or a system restart is required, how do i get that info by a single command? restart [23:10] when does the isos realease ? [23:10] Belial`, i am not even sure my core 2 duo can handle everything... [23:10] need help from sound and USB guru to get instrument to USB cable working under linux [23:10] thanks [23:11] wendico: Aha, it should take the Shrunken panel and calculate the left vs the right sizes and place it in the center of those values. I can see how a a miscalc could happen there. [23:11] on elast question if you dont mind its probably a noob question :( but im new to this "Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT." what is swat and do i need it for a home environment to be used as a media server hooked up to the tv ? [23:11] JodaZ, i'm guessing it all depends on the rip. i don't watch a lot of hd stuff on the laptop because i have an overheating problem. [23:11] !ask | Fezzler [23:11] Fezzler: 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. :-) [23:11] wendico: Bugreport it. [23:11] i've got a problem with my wifi connection : network-manager cannot have an IP address from the DHCP server on my *box [23:12] artarfon, how do i bugreport it, ubuntu web page? im new to ubuntu [23:12] !bugs > wendico [23:12] wendico, please see my private message [23:12] i guess nobody use unexpanded panels xddd [23:12] Aer, SWAT is just the name for the web-interface. [23:12] wendico: google "ubuntu bug" i guess [23:12] hello [23:12] Is Ubuntu 10.10 out ? [23:12] Aer, you don't need it, but it might be easier. [23:12] no [23:13] Belial`, let me guess its a asus or acer laptop ? ^^ [23:13] thank you ikonia [23:13] How can I trouble shoot the ST Lightsnake STUSBG10 instrument to USB cable that is not capturing sound or sending to onboard sound card for output, yet lsusb shows Ubuntu sees it? [23:13] thanks artarfon [23:13] so does swat give a GUI for samba using a web interface otherwise its done in terminal ? [23:13] Aer, yes. [23:13] Aer: No, you dont need swat for that. [23:13] hmm [23:13] wendico: No problem [23:13] i try to directly use /etc/network/interfaces but there's some issues if network-manager is running so...if anyone have some suggestions, i'll take :p [23:14] cus this is my first time doing something like this so i need it easy till i can begin to understand whats happening etc :P [23:14] JodaZ, toshiba satellite m65. notorious for overheating. i think it might just need to be cleaned out. the heatsink collects a lot of dust. i also just checked sintel at 720p and it uses about 75% tops when there's a lot of action going on. around 60-65% otherwise. [23:14] Aer, SWAT never saved me time. [23:14] Aer: MythTV, XBMC or something else will do [23:14] hmm ok, thanks i will try without swat and see how it goes then :) [23:14] Aer, just read the documentation very carefully. [23:14] ok :) [23:14] :) [23:15] thanks ArtArfon i will check them out :) [23:15] No problem [23:15] ola gente alguem poderia me dar um suporte? [23:16] thank you for your help guys i think only thing left for me now is to install ubuntu and find some online guides and read up and give it a try :P [23:16] !es | jralmeida [23:16] jralmeida: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:16] Belial`, if 720p takes 60%, then 1080p at the same bitrate relative to the pixels won't play since its more than 2x increase in pixels [23:16] jralmeida: ouch; perdoa [23:16] !br | jralmeida [23:16] jralmeida: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [23:16] jralmeida: #ubuntu-br [23:16] gonna go get started and install ubuntu on the old computer, thanks again, bye :) [23:16] Bye! :) [23:17] JodaZ, i'm not denying you're right. but i haven't had much trouble with 1080p when i've actually checked it. so i'm guessing there's a difference in bitrate. [23:17] JodaZ, i'm going to download sintel at 1080p and check [23:18] mm, i use compiz and works owesome! may i have effects on my gnome panels??? i would like some Apple-Mac like effects on my panel icons (zoom on hover) how may i do that if is possible? [23:18] JodaZ: Some HD-ready hardware will lie to you as well. [23:18] my USB mouse does not function with ubuntu, does anyone know how to fix this? [23:18] pls my memory is 100% usage [23:18] wendico install compiz effects extra [23:18] I use ubuntu 10.10Rc...can I get back 10.04 window border ? I like that one more.. [23:18] is the any problem with that [23:19] Belial`, online 1080p is mostly lower bitrate, you might wana try a real blueray [23:19] alright ive been looking for everything online. my built in cam on laptop does not work on skype at all but works on browser ustream.tv, etc.... [23:19] compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [23:19] ArtArfon, hd ready just means 720p... [23:19] pradeep_: Its most likely just cashed ram. Free mem + cached mem == free mem [23:19] i dont know what else to do and i really dont want to switch partitions to windows for this [23:19] Oer: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra? [23:19] ArtArfon, how do i do that [23:19] ArtArfon, also, if the gpu does the video decoding and for some codec or software reason it can't, well... [23:20] wendico yes, it gives hoover over and preview options [23:20] morpheuspr_: Well. I'd say skype is non-free software so we can't do anything about that. You might want to consider using a Jabber client for Audio/Video chats. I.e. gajim-0.14. [23:20] hi [23:20] Oer: Owesome Thank you! [23:20] hi, isn't still possible to mount /boot in a logical volume? [23:20] JodaZ: Yes, but in certain circumstanses the herts level, perhaps only at about 60 Hertz wont allow for the outligned pixel-density [23:21] Muelli, jabber works with skype contacts? [23:21] What time is Ubuntu due to be released tomorrow? [23:21] KenBW2_2: nobody knows [23:21] ArtArfon, wat... [23:21] KenBW2_2: some time [23:21] !party > KenBW2_2 [23:21] KenBW2_2, please see my private message [23:21] wendico like play video, and more. [23:21] pradeep_: "free -m" [23:22] Oer wow, i dont know if i could run so much extra on my atom processor xdddd [23:22] JodaZ: It can be a miscalculation. [23:22] cached is 821 [23:22] wendico: The playstations have those :) [23:22] :) [23:22] pradeep_: "+" :) [23:23] Muelli, how does jabber work? [23:23] hi. anyone know of a good graphic equalizer for ubuntu? [23:23] then this small computers are so good and so cheap i will not want another laptop xdddd [23:23] morpheuspr_: With XMPP. See jabber.org. [23:23] Tweaky: there is a pulseaudio equalizer. aviable in a ppa for lucid [23:23] cached 1001772 [23:23] morpheuspr_: gtalk uses xmpp too [23:23] erUSUL: Thank You === IdleOne is now known as MaverickOne [23:24] pradeep_: free + cached == [23:24] morpheuspr_: in fact, empathy, the default (?) Ubuntu Jabber client, should support audio/video chats as well. [23:24] im very picky with details, anyones knows a way to start TomboyNotes minimized or may tell me another notes program that will run on boot minimized to notification area? [23:24] ArtArfon, stil the same [23:25] wendico: add the tomboy applet to one of the panels [23:25] Muelli, but can i video chat with skype user cause they all use windows and skype:( [23:25] pradeep_: Thats the amount of usable ram available to applications on your system [23:25] may i use a mail program like evolution that will also be started on boot minimiced to notification envelope icon? [23:25] morpheuspr_, yes, you can. === duffydack is now known as meerdack [23:25] oh ok [23:25] pradeep_: Not possible unless you have no free ram at all [23:25] !skype | morpheuspr_ [23:25] morpheuspr_: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [23:25] morpheuspr_: *shrug* Tell them to use Jabber. They might actually do by usnig Google Talk. [23:25] morpheuspr_, all the open-source stuff doesn't work in that area. [23:26] erUsul: but this will duplicate the tomboy icon, will not? [23:26] wendico: nope; works here [23:26] Hi! I have a problem with mdadm and my RAID 5 array. If I mdadm -e one drie it says it's the only good one and that the others are failty/removed. Another says it can't find the md suporblock. The third says 3 drives are in active/sync, but only lists 2 devices. [23:26] ArtArfon, my system comes with 4gb of ram [23:26] i know i just they were as geeky as me [23:26] erusul: thanks i try [23:27] pradeep_: "cached is 821" Megabytes of RAM doesnt seem bad. How much is buffered ? [23:27] Muelli, which OSS application actually works for video under Ubuntu? [23:27] pradeep_: "cached is 821" Megabytes of RAM free doesnt seem bad. How much is buffered ? [23:27] pradeep_: And what is reported as total ram ? [23:27] fasta, how do i setup to talk to skype users [23:27] ArtArfon, my ram is using 512 but my processors are both on 100% [23:27] fasta: video chat? gajim, empathy, probably Ekiga. [23:27] fasta: and apparently firefox with that Google plugin. [23:27] am using htop [23:27] Muelli, The latter two do not work. [23:27] pradeep_: use top [23:28] brb later! [23:28] morpheuspr_: install skype in ubuntu [23:28] erUSUL: Perfect, just do not add the applet with tomboynotes running :) [23:28] !md5sum | blue1 [23:28] Blue1, please see my private message [23:28] pradeep_: use "free -m" [23:28] morpheuspr_, just install skype under Linux; it works. [23:28] wendico: ok ^.^ [23:28] erUSUL, i did like 500 times but i cant get my cam to work [23:28] pradeep_: And what is reported as total ram ? [23:28] fasta, it doesnt for me [23:28] morpheuspr_: version of ubuntu ? [23:28] syntax highlighting was not included in the version of vim improved that I have, is there a way that I can add just syntax highlighting? [23:28] erUSUL, 10.04 64bit [23:28] morpheuspr_, you first have to make sure your cam works independently of course. [23:29] morpheuspr_: and webcam works in other apps? [23:29] morpheuspr_, for my laptop it worked out of the box. [23:29] wow now my ubuntu looks more like MY ubuntu :P thank you all ! ! [23:29] iptotal is using 96% [23:29] morpheuspr_: cheese for instance [23:29] yes [23:29] cheese works [23:29] of cpu [23:29] browsers work [23:29] pradeep_: Youre in Nigeria ? [23:29] ustream,stickam etc [23:29] yes [23:29] guvviewer works === ilovefairuz is now known as surprisedmeerkat [23:29] ArtArfon, yes i am [23:29] the only thing that doesnt work is camorama [23:29] morpheuspr_: launch skype from a terminal like this « LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype » [23:29] pradeep_: Hah, cool [23:29] morpheuspr_, and it doesn't work in Skype? That's odd. [23:29] why do you ask === LjL is now known as LucidJLynx [23:30] pradeep_: Your name sounds like India [23:30] ubuntu offtopic? cant vremember [23:30] <_F-117> oR [23:30] <_F-117> HAL [23:30] Is there a way I can make it so default users can mount internal media without entering the root password? [23:30] ArtArfon, yea cos i have indian friends [23:30] <_F-117> oR [23:30] erUSUL, nothing happens [23:31] pradeep_: Aha, neat. [23:31] bleepbloop: I believe you have to install the package 'vim' (the default is provided by vim-tiny, and removes some stuff to achieve that -tiny) [23:31] ArtArfon, so i guess iptotal is using up my cpu [23:31] please ubuntu offtopic [23:31] Jef91: make an entry for that media in fstab. add "user" to the options field [23:31] morpheuspr_: webcam still does not work ? [23:31] pradeep_: Close it down and check "top" and "free -m" [23:31] !fstab | Jef91 [23:31] Jef91: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[23:32] ArtArfon, how do i kill that process [23:32] shauno: yeah, I was just thinking maybe I could get around that, since all I want right now is syntax highlighting :-p [23:32] it loads but i get error [23:32] MashPotato: Will you produce fries ? :) [23:32] <_F-117> pkill -9 pid [23:32] erusul any other way?

I believe it should take care of it itself tho [23:33] pradeep_: gnome-system-monitor or killall -9 NameOfProgram [23:33] any one know the right use of letters in formulating the search word for ubuntu of topic? [23:33] ArtArfon: I just happen to know how to make a really tasty Potato stew, but it's, you know, in the middle of the night :P [23:33] erUSUL, i get an error when testing cam on options [23:34] erUSUL, , request 133, minor 18, error code 8 BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) [23:34] pradeep_: If the program takes up 100% CPU, how can you be using it ?

[23:35] morpheuspr_: :S sorry can not help further [23:35] ArtArfon: just grab yourself some instant stew at your local walmart (assuming you're american. LOL) [23:35] pradeep actually a nepali name, isnt it?

[23:36] erUSUL, at least on video calling [23:36] morpheuspr_: well i can say that it works for many people ... [23:37] ArtArfon, thank you killed both gwibber service and iptotal [23:37] pradeep_: No problem [23:37] the cpu seems to be stable now [23:37] ppl, although i got an answer on how to change my hostname, I'm now a tad confused - how am I supposed to make changes to /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts since both are read-only? do I have to log as a diff user? [23:37] pradeep_: :) [23:38] erUSUL, i dont get it if i open cheese or guvviewer i can use and record and everything [23:38] ArtArfon, how did you know i was nigerian do you have any nigerian friends [23:38] morpheuspr_: you are sure you have the last aviable version of skype for ubuntu ? [23:38] GregValheru: You have to alter the file NetworkManager reads from. /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME= perhaps [23:39] erUSUL, yes ive downloaded it like 5 times now i dont know. whats the latest version? [23:39] erUSUL, ? [23:39] ArtArfon: that's in redhat derivatives ... isn't it? [23:39] pradeep_: I looked up your ip because it didnt make sence at the time. No, i dont have any nigerian friends atm. [23:40] erUSUL: Naah, its kind of dependanty on how the dist packagers compiled NetworkManager. [23:40] ok [23:40] erUSUL: Feel free to pitch in [23:40] is 10.10 out yet [23:40] !isitoutyet [23:40] No! Its not out yet! [23:40] GregValheru: they are not read only; you have to use sudo to edit them [23:41] where, xorger ? [23:41] in a mirror [23:41] Ive been runing Maverick for a month, seems quite ok. [23:41] GregValheru: i.e. « gksudo gedit /etc/hosts » [23:41] releases.ubuntu.com ? [23:41] s/gksudo gedit/sudo vim [23:42] erUSUL: the most important part is setting the hostname in /etc/hosts (/etc/hostname doesnt seem to matter nowdays) [23:42] does the plymouth have been fixed for maverick with nvidia cards? [23:42] morpheuspr_: according to website is 2.1.081-1 [23:42] erUSUL, ty will ty it. [23:42] I can not found a official version, xorger :| [23:42] Hello, I've got a problem. I just create a bew partition on my HD but I can't seem to be able to access it, to copy files onto it etc. Can anybody help please? [23:42] !hostname | ArtArfon [23:42] ArtArfon: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. === surprisedmeerkat is now known as unimpressedmeerk [23:42] erUSUL, yup i have that one === mex is now known as FreeNslaved [23:43] erUSUL: If networkmanager is used itll rewrite the changes made to /etc/hosts, so its important to make the changes where networkmanager reads the system hostname and later changes this file. [23:43] so people, what do you do to have a decent flash performance?? do you keep a windows installation to watch your flash videos and play you flash videogames?? [23:44] Hello, I've got a problem. I just create a bew partition on my HD but I can't seem to be able to access it, to copy files onto it etc. Can anybody help please? [23:44] erUSUL: Ive been using Linux from 15 years, i make my own dists and i code for debian/you as well as all other dists. Was that required ? [23:44] I wanted to install Chromium and I see in apt-get install chromium that there are a few additional things. Is it wise to do "sudo apt-get install chromium-*" ? [23:44] for [23:44] ArtArfon: what? [23:44] ArtArfon, wow thats great 25yrs is no joke man [23:45] giampiero: how are you trying to access it? did you format it? [23:45] i there a movement allready i can joint wich is asking adobe to make a good flash player for linux? [23:45] " !hostname | ArtArfon" ? /nm [23:45] pradeep_: 15 [23:45] trying to use an sd card on dell. i gather there should be something "SD" in the output of lspci. What if there isn't? [23:45] ArtArfon, am a network guy but i use cisco router in my work place but i cant manage my bandwith [23:45] ArtArfon: well this /etc/hostname doesnt seem to matter nowdays [23:46] ArtArfon: is not accurate at least in ubuntu. [23:46] wendico, money is the only thing that works. [23:46] which has been very challenging [23:46] wendico, or stop using Flash. [23:46] ArtArfon: but i meant no offence... [23:46] dmatt: I'm accessing it through Gigolo, it is formatted ext4 [23:46] wendico, that said, Flash works fine for me. [23:47] but this isnt a solution that help me, neither help to get a flash for linux [23:47] erUSUL: It doesnt, its cosmetic... on most dists. Maybe networkmanager does the right thing now, to read and use this instead of the, hmm also correct place as defined by standards... [23:47] erUSUL: None taken :) [23:47] u may have a quad core and 4gb ram and a owesome graphic card xd [23:47] i use a netbook [23:47] :) [23:47] Whenever I install a program, should I add "-*" to the end of the name of the program? I believe I remember someone telling me about this, but I'm not sure. [23:48] only extreme computer performance makes flash work good [23:48] ArtArfon: the factoid is there for a reason. if the hostnames do not match sudo may not work. no sudo in ubuntu cripples it becouse root account is not enabled [23:48] wendico, ah, ok. [23:48] wendico, I don't know those particular pains :) [23:48] that said, it doesnt work godd for you either, it could perform better and use less resources xddd [23:49] wendico, I don't like Flash from a security point of view. [23:49] giampiero: i read that gigolo is for accessing remote systems, why do you use it for local partition? just open it in any file browser [23:49] i dont like it from many points of view either, but they made us need it [23:49] ArtArfon, what are the benefit of ubuntu over other distro cos it seems it so easy [23:49] for video and gaming on webpages [23:50] to use unlike rpm distros [23:50] nobody uses other thing than flash [23:50] erUSUL: Yes, to change both places is the most correct action. [23:50] i will try to burn adobe company lol [23:50] when will the next version of ubunutu be released - what time in what timezone ... [23:51] !party > Adam1213 [23:51] Adam1213, please see my private message [23:51] dmatt: which file browser? [23:51] pradeep_: I cant see that ubuntu is better or worse then any other dist. But its nice. [23:52] "nice"? [23:52] Ubuntu rules [23:52] pradeep_: If i use a dist its very good. [23:52] And i use Maverick atm [23:52] giampiero: nautilus... or open it in places menu [23:52] ArtArfon, but u build your own distro tooo [23:53] pradeep_: Im chatting from a Fedora12 box now, i laos run several other dists. [23:53] pradeep_: Yes [23:53] pradeep_: Im chatting from a Fedora12 box now, i also run several other dists. [23:53] Typo [23:54] hi all === LucidJLynx is now known as LjL [23:54] Hi [23:54] dmatt: I'm using Xubuntu, so I should possibly use Thunar, should be the equivalent of Nautilus. But I can't see it through Tunar. I used Gpart to create the partition. Maybe it's not a local partition? [23:55] pradeep_: One thing that could be better with ubuntu atm is more care for servers. [23:55] Hey guys, I want to install Chromium, should I use "sudo apt-get install chromium-*" or without the dash and asterisk? [23:55] ArtArfon, how on your vm or what ??? [23:55] new_, hi [23:55] rypervenche: no -* needed [23:55] rypervenche, depends on if you want to install a game called Chromium. [23:55] giampiero: it is definitely local run "sudo fdisk -l" to see all local partitions [23:55] ArtArfon, ok [23:55] erUSUL, So it is unwise to ever use that? [23:55] pradeep_: No, i dont use any vm as i feel they could cloud my judgement. [23:56] Chromium by itself is the game Chromium. [23:56] chromium-browser is the web browser. [23:56] are there a drivers support channel on this irc? [23:56] rypervenche: you shoud not need globs for installing programs. [23:56] ArtArfon, i tried sharing my internet on ubuntu but found it diffcult and also installing squid heard it is a good enhancer sorry am asking to many question [23:56] ha, wow. That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. [23:57] Tynach, Ooooo, touché, I didn't realize that. Thanks. [23:57] erUSUL, Ok thanks :) [23:57] pradeep_: USe firestarter, use gadmin-squid [23:57] No problem :) [23:57] Hola a todos [23:57] i mean on a server level and not gui interface [23:57] pradeep_: Sharing internet isnt harder then answering 2-3 questions with firestarter [23:58] dmatt: ok, let's say it's local.

[23:58] giampiero: most likely because it is not mounted [23:58] but firestarter is a gui [23:58] Chromium is the open source core of Chrome. [23:58] Oh !the Magnum song! :) [23:58] so how do i implement on a server which is gui [23:58] rocks [23:59] besides the Chromium game, of course [23:59] Right. [23:59] pradeep_: Rephrase-... [23:59] The chromium game is now called "Chromium-BSU", but the package called "chromium" is a transitional package to "chromium-bsu". [23:59] Chromium BSU rocks! Like Salamander! :) [23:59] How do you all feel about using closed-source vs. open-source ? [23:59] which is not gui [23:59] i mean firestarter
