[00:08] robin0800: server version is basically Ubuntu, but without a GUI, and then you can easilly set up servers on it. 10.04 since its long term support gets five years of support, where as the desktop version only three. 10.10 is 18 months for both versions.

[00:38] zu22 I haven't had trouble, but then I ahven't actually botted into Windows yet [00:38] haven't* booted* [00:38] swordz: ah :) [00:38] how do i enable multitouch in 10.10? [00:38] Already tried that a few times, installing the image on the stick from both macosx and win7, neither did the trick [00:38] I HAVE had trouble with wireless [00:38] Still am having trouble... [00:38] anyone know why the system -> administration -> startup disk creator doesn't allow non-ubuntu *isos? [00:38] swordz: that seems common in many linux distros [00:38] It worked fine previously [00:39] usboot: use unetbootin [00:39] oh pity [00:39] And is currently working fine, else I wouldn't be here [00:39] I updated to Maverick, now when I run Compiz, I get a window that constantly opens and closes on my bottom panel saying it's configuring or something. [00:39] How do i look up the specs on my os [00:39] ilovefairuz: i know thats an alternative, i still would like an answer to my original question [00:39] It's the latest kernel image, no idea why it's not working [00:39] swordz: wish you luck [00:39] usboot: it is an ubuntu utility for ubuntu, try unet bootin for other os [00:39] How can I get rid of that window? [00:39] I ordered two different brand USB sticks to try this on - curious if Ubuntu could reside entirely on that stick. I recon it'll be slow, but carrying around my own OS on a stick might be useful at times [00:39] swordz: pastebin: lshw -C network; rfkill list [00:39] @usboot for the same reason Apple doesn't let you install their OS on anything except Apple's [00:39] glebihan: Segmention fault, unable to open /dev/fb0 again [00:39] usboot: it says: To try or install Ubuntu from a removable disk, it needs to be set up as a startup disk. [00:39] alzie: what does the ubuntu utility flag, the md5 or the filename to block all non-ubuntu isos? [00:40] ilovefairuz Now? Or when it doesn't work?

[00:40] No, it didn't work consistently [00:40] Then I rebooted into the old kernel, no problems [00:40] Vibedigital, I too am having Compiz issues on Maverick. :( [00:40] usboot: I don't know, it appears to be a fork for ubuntu use [00:40] Ethelim: it is NOT unetbootin based ... it uses dd to write the image to the USB memory stick ... it erases everything from the stick in the process [00:40] I'm currently in the old kernel, so everything's fine [00:40] glebihan: dpkg --configure -a gives an error while processing psb-kernel-source. [00:40] How do i look up the specs on my os [00:40] swordz: no wired connection? [00:41] rypervenche: compiz is resource hog, i don't run it :D [00:41] Not easily [00:41] And not at 00:40am :p [00:41] swordz: you'll need one to pastebin [00:41] kazoo: sudo lshw [00:41] zu22, Be that as it may, it is very useful for me. [00:41] Copy to file, then paste [00:41] how can i add mediubuntu in 10.10 ?

Please seek support in the appropriate channel for your distro. [01:33] *while [01:33] aerosolapple press alt+f2 [01:33] RRU_Sciguy: try playing a video in smplayer, and try skipping forward. smplayer will just stop..... i should add that this may well be more of an smplayer issue than an mplayer issue... still looking into that [01:33] need some help compiling the new lm-sensors. Here's my output http://pastebin.ca/1959701 [01:34] How do I restart my sound system? I can't even rmmod the module it says its in use. [01:34] aerosolapple then type xterm [01:34] kismet so compiz works dual-monitor just not side by side..... [01:34] RRU_Sciguy: otherwise, i very much agree, i am liking maverick overall [01:34] Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook on EeePC900. Out of curiosity about performance of Ubuntu Desktop mode I logged out of Netbook mode and logged into the Desktop but the view didn't load within 15 minutes, so I hit CTRL+ALT+DEL few times to get the shutdown window where I took reboot from. Now apparently Ubuntu is auto-logging into Desktop mode and it's still stuck: how to get back into Netbook mode ? [01:34] jmichaelx, are you playing a DVD throuugh mplayer or just a regulat .avi .mpg .wmv type file ? [01:34] jmichaelx, i just use the built in one, dont really watch dvds on lappie anyway, i like the 42" 1080p screen better :D [01:34] Quantum_Ion: .avi's, .mpg's, .flv's [01:34] syn [01:34] sakekasi thank you and how can i change the color of my txt? i forgot and not sure if my irc client supports it [01:35] jmichaelx, Use vlc player [01:35] iflema, yes if I set the monitor positions on top of each other it works, but side by side... it doesn't [01:35] aerosolapple what is your irc client? [01:35] I can get to the login screen on my notebook after the upgrade to 10.10, but when I try to log in the screen flashes and it goes back to the login screen [01:35] yaaic im using irc on my moto droid [01:35] Im trying to change my sound input device to my webcam but everytime i close the window it trys to reset to back to onboard [01:35] sakekasi i know what you mean. nut making functions working together i.e taking output from one as input for another function. i cant figure that out. [01:36] me too [01:36] but [01:36] jmichaelx, the movieplayer, and yeah, vlc player is the all-round best player ive found [01:36] aerosolapple it depends on your client im using the webclient so I wouldn't know. sorry :( [01:36] Quantum_Ion: i have switched to vlc for the time being... although vlc is unable to play audio on a fair percentage of .flv's [01:36] Odd thing jags. [01:36] no worries i appreciate the help im not sure how to adjust my resolution via terminal though [01:36] does anyone know what happened to resolv-conf? [01:36] Rumor has it that, as a 10.04 user, I'm supposed to be offered (via the update manager) an automatic upgrade to 10.10. This has not yet happened. What else can I do to get this new version? [01:37] Is there an alternative to cdemu, seeing as there is no version for Maverick out? [01:37] RRU_Sciguy: i use kubuntu, and generally try to keep totem, and related packages off of my system [01:37] Anybody know how to add shortcut to application on 10.10 Netbook quick-launch bar? [01:37] i have an amd card so i have to get my drivers via their website correct? [01:37] jmichaelx, do you know how to build vlc from source ? [01:37] Lxndr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades [01:37] Lxndr: Have you checked the options in Software Sources regarding new release ? [01:37] Quantum_Ion: i know how to build from source, have never done vlc, however [01:37] aerosolapple http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-adjust-screen-resolution-on-ubuntu.html [01:37] Lxndr: Ah well, rww beat me to it :D [01:38] did anybody try if virtual terminals work in ubuntu 10.10? [01:38] does ANYONE know how to enable multitouch in 10.10? [01:38] jmichaelx, building vlc from source might be a little challenging for you if your not familiar with how to obtain development libraries [01:38] Quantum_Ion: does building vlc from source require dev libs that are not in the repos? [01:38] mrbrown: I'm sure they do. If you're referring to what Ctrl-Alt-F1 gets you, I can't imagine Canonical disabling them [01:39] Will there be a minimal cd released for 10.10? [01:39] Anybody know how to add shortcut to application on 10.10 Netbook quick-launch bar? [01:39] rww: rautamiekka: Thanks. Upgrading now. Wish me luck. [01:39] Lxndr: good luck :) [01:39] jmichaelx, VLC is right in the repos [01:39] qkumbers what do you mean by mimimal cd? [01:39] rww: Thanks! The last time I upgraded I had to wrangle for a day before I got this computer working again. [01:39] RRU_Sciguy: i know.... we are talking about building it from source, though [01:39] qkumbers: 32-bit or 64-bit? [01:39] jmichaelx, the development libraries are in the repos I had a problem with vlc earlier this week and had to upgrade ffmpeg and build vlc from source [01:40] does anyone know what happened to resolv-conf? i cant find it in synaptic? was it replaced by another package? [01:40] Im trying to change my sound input device to my webcam but everytime i close the window it trys to reset to back to onboard [01:40] sakekasi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [01:40] rww: 64bit [01:40] Quantum_Ion: so you compiled ffmpeg before you started as well then? [01:40] qkumbers: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [01:40] qkumbers: the page just hasn't been updated yet [01:40] i'd like to set ubuntu server to remotely send syslogs to my syslogd server. I have set syslog.conf in /etc/ with *.* @24.58.59.60. Do I need to start, restart anything? [01:41] rww: You rock! [01:41] Is it possible to copy a disk image from a VM in virtualbox-ose and then write it to a real partition on my machine? i tried dd, but i'm not getting very far. [01:41] how do I add programs to the left dock in ubuntu netbook? [01:41] Hi, if I use dual monitor on my laptop (intel graphic) compize settings are not working. Only if I switch off the laptop monitor and work on the connected one, then I can start compiz, but if both (side by side) it won't work - seams that it works only if position are on top of each other but not side by side - ideas? [01:41] andeh' ... I'd like to know too! [01:42] demitrius, andeh`: You start the program you want to bind, then right-click on it in the dock. [01:42] ty<3 [01:42] Np :) [01:42] medgno: Ctrl-Alt-F[1-9] did not work in previous version of [01:42] Ubuntu after installation of Xfce and some other packages === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [01:42] Is there naything special I need to do to get apt-get dist-upgrade to work? It doesn't offer an update. [01:42] Im trying to change my sound input device to my webcam but everytime i close the window it trys to reset to back to onboard? how do i make this setting stick? [01:43] well hurray for me I'm backing up data and reinstalling 10.4.1 from scratch :o [01:43] rautameikka, nope didn't work. :( [01:43] does anyone know what happened to resolv-conf? i cant find it in synaptic? was it replaced by another package? [01:43] please someone tell me [01:43] pc500, did you check software sources? [01:43] mrbrown: very strange. I've never had problems with it. Maybe someone else has an idea [01:43] demitrius: Didn't ? That's odd. Then I'm out of ideas. [01:43] rautamiekka; D'oh! I'm an idiot. Yep, it just worked now! [01:43] :) [01:44] demitrius: Haha :D [01:44] rautamiekka, thank you! [01:44] megno: Yes, they had some mess in their startup files. And [01:44] I was wondering if they fixed that. [01:44] pc500: Don't use dist-upgrade to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades [01:44] tiox - Not really -- can this be done via CLI? [01:44] ok, thanks [01:44] pc500, go to System > Administration > Software Sources and see if normal releases is chosen on the update tab. [01:44] rautamiekka: it's always easy when you know the trick. Thanks a ton! :) [01:44] I assume I need to do 9.1 -> 10.04 then -> 10.10? [01:44] pc500: The 'dist-upgrade' is used to force upgrade on each and every upgradable package there is. Read rww's link. [01:44] interesante pero hay chicas...? [01:44] ok will do [01:44] * peanuter looks around [01:45] pc500: correct. For 9.10 to 10.04, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades [01:45] Whoops... hold on. [01:45] * sakekasi really wants multitouch [01:45] I think it was 10.04 already, but I assume /etc/issue doesn't lie... [01:45] thought [01:45] It says 9.10 :) [01:45] Hmm. [01:45] Well, pc500, try this on for size. [01:45] how do i restart syslogd [01:45] I have a intresting question to purpose, if you have 2 identical video cards and 4 screens, can you have them all enabled with glx and composite and be able to move your mouse across all 4 monitors or does xrandr not support that yet? [01:45] pc500: Unless you're on a Ubuntu Server, check up System Monitor. [01:46] Find the 10.04 alternate install ISO and burn it to CD or put on USB, then update through there. [01:46] That's one bit of advice I found. [01:46] hello [01:46] If anyone wants to confirm my solution helps? Anyone?

[01:53] I was trying to figure our if this is a limitation of the xorg server or if this is xrandr. [01:53] tiox: Right click on the Applications menu and click Edit Menus. In the window that opens go down to Administration and check the box next to Software Sources to add it back to the menu. [01:53] or if its possible at all. [01:54] RCola, I don't think its a problem with Xorg.

[01:56] RCola, Forbidden 403 [01:56] rww: methods of finding the Software Sources are not lacking but they are not obvious either any more [01:56] How long does it generally take for the new release of ubuntu to be stable enough to not worry about upgrading?

[01:57] rww, sweet [01:57] tiox, or maybe changed the rendering of fonts.. happens pretty much every time they do it i hate it [01:57] Which by the way, is ass-kickin' [01:58] how do i access power options on ubuntu netbook edition?

Now apparently Ubuntu is auto-logging into Desktop mode and it's still stuck: how to get back into Netbook mode ?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [02:27] how do I remove a session in ubunt 10.10? [02:27] I followed all that, it still dont work. [02:28] If I want to load windows 7 on a second hard drive after ubuntu (on the first hard drive) in order to dual-boot do i have to do anything special with the MBR? [02:28] markboston: I'm aware of what PM means. Please read ubottu's factoid reply. [02:28] Hey there. Where are my local SSH keys stored in the filesystem? [02:28] or with GRUB? [02:28] I want to migrate SSH keys from my old parition to my new one. [02:28] markboston: Conducting help via PM instead of in the channel isn't a good idea. [02:28] rww i find it easier to answer questions in pm [02:28] ryanprior: ~/.ssh/ for user keys, /etc/ssh/ for server keys [02:29] markboston: did we not go threw this earlier? [02:29] can apt-proxy support multiple distributions? i.e. I would like to use kubuntu 10.10, but others in the same office may still keep using ubuntu10.04, we use the same apt-proxy in office, is that ok? [02:29] markboston: Presumably, you also prefer not to be banned from #ubuntu. [02:29] hey all [02:29] jrenner, yes something needs to be done, but most distros will automate that part for you [02:29] I changed my button layout to "close,minimize,maximize:" using gconf-editor, but it is still not the default when I go to my themes menu. How can I make it default? [02:30] what do you guys use to sync your iphones? [02:30] Where are my GNOME "Places" bookmarks stored? [02:30] hello [02:30] i can access the music but get an error when trying to add from my library to the phone [02:30] I just want to download the source of android-x86 on ubuntu I followed the directions whats wrong here [02:30] mesees, I use a Virtual Machine to do it, or I got to my other partition with Windows on it. [02:30] if I wanted to talk to webmasters, where would I go? [02:30] ryanprior, .gtkbookmarks [02:30] jrenner: if using 2 differnt hard drives. (not just 2 partitions on 1 hard drive) I often use the bios feature to boot what HD i want. Nothing special needed to be done. I keep the Linux/Grub MBR on the linux HD. that way windows stays by itself on the other HD. [02:30] rypervenche, so this is still the "thing"... [02:30] xrfang: yes, since both those distros use the same repositories [02:30] which version of enlightenment is the default in Ubuntu 10.10? [02:30] how to extract TAG/GZIP archive in Ubuntu? [02:30] ryanprior: ~/.gtk-bookmarks [02:30] mesees, What do you mean? [02:31] i'm installing Ubuntu for the first time, planning to dualboot w/ Windows. In the installer, it has an option to set installation size. What do the different sizes mean? [02:31] ChogyDan: thansk [02:31] rypervenche, the thing ubuntu cant do [02:31] what do you use for VM? [02:31] rypervenche: a theme can set its own order. The theme files have some script that sets the order. [02:31] Dr_Willis. thanks :D [02:31] the repo command is not working... [02:31] I am trying to get git on my server and following the progit instructions, but when I try to do: sudo scp -r my_project.git user@git.example.com:/opt/git I get an error saying permission denied. But I an account that is on the sudoer list, why cant i still do it? [02:31] Dr_Willis, But it is like that even for Ubuntu's default themes. It didn't used to be that way, but for some reason it changed. [02:32] anybody know? [02:32] mesees, I use VirtualBox. You can find the ppa on www.virtualbox.org . And yeah, until iTunes creates a Linux version, you will have to find another way of syncing. [02:32] Teh_Chaos: I believe it has to do with disk partitioning. It is going to create a partition of the size you choose, and auto set it up [02:32] anyone [02:32] Teh_Chaos: the size is reserved for Ubuntu Packages and files To be saved in Ubuntu, It could not be Accessed from Windows [02:33] Dr_Willis, I don't want to have to change it back every time I want to try a new theme out. [02:33] but does it matter which size I pick? [02:33] how to extract TAG/GZIP archive in Ubuntu? [02:33] Teh_Chaos: it is a somewhat permanent decision [02:34] rypervenche: make a script for your user to set them how you want. If you change themes - each theme can have its own script it rns that sets them the way the theme maker decides.. thats just how it works. (its an awkeard cludge) [02:34] Teh_Chaos: May be, If you need more packages to install You might need more, You can't resize the Partitions once made in a simple way [02:34] hey every time i try to play this game a black screen comes up and a box that says frequency out of range. what do i do??? :( [02:34] Lint01: assuming that TAG was supposed to be TAR, right-click and select Extract in GNOME, or tar zxf /path/to/file.tar.gz in the Terminal [02:34] ChogyDan: I guess what I'm asking is that what is the difference between the 2 sizes? Does it need more space? [02:34] Teh_Chaos: what are the options? [02:35] Dr_Willis, Why would my normal themes be affected by this? [02:35] Look, I just want to download android-x86 source... [02:35] how do i make title bar in windows thinner? [02:35] ChogyDan: 3-30GB [02:35] Teh_Chaos: can you choose 10GB? [02:35] i lowered font size but its still too thick [02:35] ChogyDan: yeah [02:35] rww, I have only 'Open in another appication...' when right click it, and I take not chances with tar beacuse mistype can delete all files or worse [02:35] anything between 3 and 30 GB is an option [02:35] default is 17 [02:35] can someone help me === James is now known as Guest86086 [02:36] Just some assistance please [02:36] My orca screen reader is silent. Can't get it to read text at all. [02:36] when i try to activate flymake mode in emacs...No build file(Make file) found..Flymake will be switched off is returned...how can this be fixed? [02:36] Teh_Chaos: 10GB will be good, as long as you store all your large files on the windows partition. How big is your drive overall? [02:36] Lint01: You don't have an "Extract Here" option? [02:36] how do i check the permissions of a particular folder [02:36] Is there an #ubuntu overflow channel? [02:36] rww, no [02:36] gilaniali, right click, go to properties, permissions [02:36] gbillings: Assuming that you mean one that's a support channel and not a holding channel for unregistered users, no. [02:37] gbillings: i am using the command line [02:37] help? [02:37] ChogyDan: Right now I have 130 GB free on the drive, so space isn't an issue. I was just wondering if I wanted the extra space. [02:37] dakota: shouldn't you be asking the android folks? I know how to get ubuntu source stuff, but not andoid [02:37] !ask | meee [02:37] meee: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:37] Hello, I [02:37] every time i try to play this game a black screen comes up and a box that says frequency out of range. what do i do??? :( [02:37] i just installed xubuntu and it seems it doesnt have a default bluetooth manager, what package do i use to install it [02:37] I have uninstalled evolution and replaced it with thunderbird. In the envelope menu, when I click Mail, nothing happens. Why? [02:38] I have insttalled gnome support for thunderbird. [02:38] Teh_Chaos: well, the install will take no more than 10GB. Might as well start with the 17GB, since you have plenty. It really depends if you are going to download a bunch of stuff [02:38] Sickler Blueman , I feel is enough [02:38] meee the settings you chose in game for the monitor are too high lower it [02:38] azkor, reassign default applications [02:38] the game is trying to force an unsupported resolution to your monitor [02:38] Lint01, Excuse me? [02:38] Ubuntu 10.10 = amazing [02:38] Lint01, I didn't understood. [02:38] markboster: i cant even start the game [02:38] Teh_Chaos: and that 10gb is if you install allot of extra stuff [02:38] i see [02:39] Lint01, can you tell me how do I do that exactly? [02:39] well I don't think i'll be using *too* much [02:39] meee: quit screwing around and get back to work [02:39] if it turned off your monitor then you did start the game [02:39] so I'll probably just go with the 17GB option [02:39] Sickler: try blueman [02:39] azkor, it's a control panel in gnome somewhere, check 'Settings' menu [02:39] what???

[02:50] Teh_Chaos: even though you are an Admin, it might not execute as Admin, right click and run as Admin [02:51] just type "file-roller" [02:51] pksadiq: Just tried that, just in case, didn't work [02:51] markboston what do you mean, I want the source of the android-x86 port [02:51] meee are you running the game through wine? [02:51] ya [02:51] dakota oh i thought you were talking about the sdk [02:51] meee: Did you try F11 or ALT+ Enter ? [02:51] also the error log it tells me the path for is in the temp folder, which is why I think I can't access it [02:51] whats that [02:52] fileroller is 26 MB large, is there something smaller? [02:52] rww: did what wiki said, still appears RC to update [02:52] markboston no I need the source to compile [02:52] because the temp folder must clear itself after the application runs, even though I tried opening it while the application was still running [02:52] does anyone know what this error means when trying to start the live installer 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback [02:52] 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback'import site' failed; use -v for traceback [02:52] dakota oh ok got ya [02:52] has 10.10 xubuntu been released? [02:52] whats that [02:52] pedrosanta: If you read those instructions, you'll note a lack of -d in the update-manager command it gives. [02:52] not that I now of with a gui [02:52] Sickler: yes [02:52] Lint01: many file maangers can also handle archives 'mc' can for example. [02:52] dakota sorry i don't have any experince with that lol sorry due [02:52] has anyone upgraded a Macbook Pro (5,4 in my case) to 10.10? Do all of the little imortant things work? I've got Lucid running perfectly on it, I'd hate to ruin a good thing... [02:52] Lint01: many also have a rightclick -> extract here. type feature. [02:52] how do i upgrade to 10.10 [02:53] Teh_Chaos: actually What is pyrun.exe? is it related to ubuntu? sorry :( === beforeyoufall is now known as zacstone [02:53] Sickler: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrade [02:53] Dr_Willis, have no extract [02:53] dakota xase hes not online now but he is good at android development [02:53] markboston how does one get repo to work [02:53] could somebody help me, i have been trying to fix it for 2 days [02:53] My vps provider had ssh login for root disabled, but said i could enable by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config. What do I change in there? [02:53] rww: yes, tried with the "-d" option. still RC to update. maybe it's the sources. [02:53] dakota if you see him online ask him he will help you out [02:53] pksadiq: I don't know either, but that's what windows firewall said it was blocking. [02:53] Lint01: then theres some package you can install to get it... I got it here.. but no idea what package did it.. You could of extracted stuff vy the command line 100 times by the time this chatting has been going on. :) [02:53] why do i get "no root file system is defined" error? [02:53] dakota: i do android dev, whats the ? [02:53] pkadiq py.exe is python i believe [02:53] is anyone else having issues with smplayer in maverick? for me, i am not able to advance forward very far in any video, without smplayer just stopping. [02:53] pedrosanta: As I said, follow the instructions. There's not supposed to be a -d in it. -d means "Install the current development release". [02:54] pkadiq pyrun* [02:54] zacstone, because you haven't selected / mount point [02:54] how do you run as root [02:54] Dr_Willis, Ohh, I just figured it out. The pictures by default show the button layout on the right-hand side... >< [02:54] i dont have the ability to upgrade in update manager or doing sudo dist-upgrade [02:54] zacstone: kernel panic? [02:54] noisewaterphd I need the source of the android-x86 port [02:54] alright, I found the log file (had to manually browse to it), it's quite long and convoluted, I don't know what to get out of it [02:54] meee: sudo [02:54] i don't think it'll be helpful [02:54] sudo [02:54] oh nvm [02:54] anybody knows why doesn't the new 10.10 kernel create /dev/mixer ? [02:54] rypervenche: the pictures of the themnes are always wrong it seems with the buttons. One of the many issues with the whole move the buttons to the left disaster. :) [02:54] noisewaterphd but I can't get repo to work even after installing it. [02:55] Lint01 you have to mount it? [02:55] there's a lot of talk about torrents though, do I need bittorent to install ubuntu using wubi? [02:55] rww: without "-d" still appeared the RC too. soz. changed from Portugal mirror to main one and on that the final release appears. it haven't made sync yet I guess. [02:55] how do i do that [02:55] Teh_Chaos: no, wubi uses regular HTTP to download [02:55] Teh_Chaos no you don't need bittorrent to install wubi [02:55] go to term and type sudo bommand [02:55] pedrosanta: ah, okay. So it's working now? [02:55] rww: thx anyways :) [02:55] New question, my alt+ print screen isn't working. Normal screenshotting works fine, but not the current window one. [02:56] Teh_Chaos: in Windows I beleive uTorrent is best, but it's not good to install this in ubuntu through wine, use any native app [02:56] meee: open a terminal (under accessories) then type. [02:56] rww: yes but i gonna see if i can manage to get a nearer mirror with the final release. [02:56] Teh_Chaos, wubi has torrent client built in [02:56] With the latest kernel my machine isn't showing anything on the display. This is just after upgrading to Maverick. If I use an old kernel everything is fine. [02:56] pksadiq: transmission? [02:56] Teh_Chaos bittorrent is easy for the deves thakes the load off of their servers [02:56] <_Neytiri_> iI am having a issue with what seems to be system instability on my ubuntu 10.4 desktop, this started reciently its been freezing up as i am running applications suck as webbrousers irc clients dvd playes and even the file browsers [02:56] How can i remove twitter from my social broadcast menu? [02:56] <_Neytiri_> how can i fix this [02:56] Rigorm0rtis: nvidia? [02:56] dakota: hmm, no experience with android on x86, what do you want to run it on? [02:56] got it [02:56] ChogyDan, Intel [02:56] Sorry, hahaha mistaken [02:56] alright then, I don't know what's up with it. When I went to the temp folder there were a lot of files that were py.exe, so I think that's why letting the program through firewall wouldn't work, because it makes a new exe in the temp folder to run every time. Anyone got any other ideas? [02:56] dakota: ill get the repo and see if I have any issues === Andorin is now known as AK|offline [02:57] type what [02:57] noisewaterphd well my problem is I cant get the source so I can compile it. [02:57] meee: the command you want to run as root [02:57] Teh_Chaos: download the ISO yourself with a web browser and put it in the same directory as the wubi.exe [02:57] <_Neytiri_> and when this is occuring cpu and ram usage is minimal [02:57] Teh_Chaos: note that if your computer's capable of 64-bit, Wubi wants the 64-bit ISO [02:57] rww: where would i get the iso [02:57] its a file [02:57] Teh_Chaos: http://download.ubuntu.com/ [02:58] dakota, where are you attempting to download the x86 ported code? [02:58] and also yes my windows OS is 64 bit [02:58] its a .run [02:58] meee sudo gives you temporary root priv [02:58] meee: or press alt + F2, type gksudo and then the program you want to run [02:58] <_Neytiri_> when simething is freezeing i cant clsoe applications or open up new ones [02:58] does not matter whether it's a file === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [02:58] noisewaterphd well thats the thing , when I use the repo command it says its not found, even after I installed it, is there somthing I am missing [02:58] you need to make it executable first [02:59] chmod +x (file) [02:59] rww: I don't want to install Ubuntu that way, because I want it to run alongside my Windows 7 OS, and I don't have any blank CDs or memory sticks big enough. I would also rather have it installed on my HD. [02:59] like this "sudo chmod +x(.bin file) [02:59] whats an x sever [02:59] step21: X server? [03:00] meee bloated piece of junk [03:00] Teh_Chaos: Download the ISO, put it in the same directory as wubi.exe, run wubi.exe. It'll install via Wubi, as you want. [03:00] whats an x server [03:00] step21: sorry,it was for mee [03:00] noisewaterphd this is where I am trying to get it from. http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode [03:00] Teh_Chaos: You're basically doing what Wubi does anyway, except manually and hopefully more successfully. [03:00] dakota: wait, do you want to run android on an x86 machine, or do you just want to do android development with the x86 sdk [03:00] !X [03:00] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[03:01] dakota: is the repo command giving any errors? [03:01] sorry I couldn't help myself === Pilif12p|afk is now known as Pilif12p [03:02] I wanna ask one more time, why isn't ProjectM seen in RytgemBox even though I got the right plugins? [03:02] meee, I use it, but it's a little bit hard to configure video chat [03:02] is anobody here having problems with tvtime after 10.10 ? [03:02] noisewaterphd it says the repo command is not found. [03:02] rww: OK, do I want to use 32 bit or 64 bit? 32 bit it says is recommended, but what's the difference between them? [03:02] RYTHEMBOX!! [03:02] Dammit type it right tiox... [03:02] will you call me [03:02] meee, let me try, your username? I'm on skype as pksadiq [03:03] <_BEAST> oR: HAL says help [03:03] and do I want 10.10 or 10.04? [03:03] I just upgraded my MacBook (MacBook5,2) from 10.04 to 10.10 with update-manager, and now after booting up, Xorg isn't working [03:03] Teh_Chaos, 64-bit need 64-bit drivers and allows you to use more then 3.5GB of RAM [03:03] it just flashes endlessly [03:03] I'm about to reboot after installing 10.10 through the update manager. If this doesn't work, I'll be back begging for help. [03:03] i installed phppgadmin on ubuntu where would the install directory for it be? [03:03] plus, my keyboard and mouse aren't recognized in the console [03:03] i added you [03:03] lint01: so do I want 64 bit then? [03:03] Here's an update for the compatability wiki: 10.10 gets the wifi to work on an "Acer Aspire 5739". Debian Squeeze is not able to get it to work. [03:03] (though I can ssh in fine) [03:03] anybody got any idea how I can fix this [03:03] puto your running linux on a mac???? [03:03] yeah [03:03] puto shame on you [03:03] lol [03:03] can someone help me getting my wusb100vs working on ubuntu 10.04 64 bit [03:04] Shame?? [03:04] markboston, what's so shameful? [03:04] Hi, was running 10.04 on HP G62 without problems. Just installed 10.10 and all is ok except that it freezes on shutdown/reboot anyone has this prob? (desktop, netbook, amd64 all have same results) [03:04] Teh_Chaos, depends on wherther you need 3rd party drivers for it and how much RAM you have [03:04] tiox its a joke [03:04] I am going to tell everyone this, right now. LTS versions are long-term stable releases. [03:04] I have a Restore Partition that grub recognizes and I don't want it in the boot menu. How do I remove it? [03:04] Teh_Chaos, also you need 32-bit version for youtube videos [03:05] lint01: I have 4GB RAM, so I'll probably go with the 64bit, but I know that 10.04 is more stable, but what is the benefit of 10.10? [03:05] http://pwnguin.net/albums/v/Misc/20101011_004.jpg.html [03:05] puto: Check your messages [03:05] dakota: oh...ok, repo is a helper script for the GIT source code repository, and you don't have it. You may not even have GIT installed, who knows? Anyway, google around and get your tools, or, jump on #git, as you are defintely off topic here now [03:05] cayou99: would not bother to fix ... can have a million reasons, not necessarily related to ubuntu. if it freezes when I think it does shutting down manually is save. [03:05] anyone feel like debugging nouveau? [03:05] *safe [03:05] dakota: but fear not, your not far off from your goal [03:06] <_BEAST> oR [03:06] dakota: wait, you're *still* on this? See at the very top of your instructions, where it says something along the lines of "do this first", and links off to another page? Read that other page. [03:06] Lint01: not really ... 32 bit emulation or flash 64 bit beta works nicely [03:06] step21: well, I need to hold the power button until it shuts down.. is it really safe? [03:06] dakota: maybe try copying repo to /usr/bin instead of ~/bin === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [03:07] Wow I got interrupted lots. [03:07] how can I sort du outpit? [03:07] cayou99: if it is like I think it is, it is realy late in the shutdown process, all drives unmounted etc, so it is some acpi issue or something like that, this can happen on windows etc as well. [03:07] dakota: sudo cp ~/bin/repo /usr/bin [03:07] Anyway, upgrading from LTS jeopardizes the stability of the system if improperly done. Hell, updating won't work on some systems period. [03:08] Anyone help with grub question above? [03:08] I went through the install process and all that on the page mentioned, but it still does not work. [03:08] step21: ok, thanks!

So I added this fragment to nm-openvpn-service.conf.

[03:10] I just upgraded my laptop to 10.10 and now when I boot the display doesn't show anything. This laptop worked flawlessly on 10.04. I can tell the underlying system is fine, because if I type my boot password the hard disk activity picks up like it is continuing to boot, and CTRL+ALT+DEL reboots the computer as one would expect. When I boot using an old kernel (a leftover from 10.04 I think) via GRUB the system boots normally. My [03:10] laptop is an HP Elitebook 2730p. According to the specs it uses an Intel GMA 4500MHD for graphics. I am using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. What can I do about this? [03:10] any ideas, guys?

[03:12] Lint01: du | sort -n [03:12] markboston: rt2870sta is a 32 bit driver?

I'm currently running ubuntu karmic koala. I'd love to upgrade to 10.10, but it seems that some non-official sources and packages are preventing me from doing so. is there a way to remove non-official sources and purge anything that at that point doesn't have it's repo in the sources list so that i can cleanly upgrade? [03:21] SingAlong: what's that got to do with emacs? [03:21] pwnguin: does that come as a pkg or do i have to download it elsewhere. i dont know common lisp. which is why i stick to using starterkit or some useful stuff [03:21] blackstar: get a faster HDD [03:22] funny [03:22] pwnguin: emacs-starterkit is a package that give you some useful .emacs to get started. [03:22] SingAlong: using emacs, or writing scripts for it, or hacking on the base code? [03:22] I am seeing an issue where the screen suddenly dims / running compiz --replace fixes it . then it happens a gain in a few minutes. new winodws, and menus on existing dimmed windows... come up full brightness. anyone seen this? thoughts on fixing it?

[04:48] RRU_Sciguy: um... wrong person? i use the terminal all the time [04:48] NateW, so wine would be a requirement to install before playonlinux to work correctly? [04:48] or should i skribble this down on a notepad with a crayon? [04:48] i will [04:48] AxionStile: on editing C:/BOOT.INI ?? [04:49] I created a folder at '/' using the sudo command, but when I run ls -lha, it displays owner and group as root [04:49] why is that [04:49] AxionStile, there is "default" line which tells which os to boot and "timeout" in seconds [04:49] is there a room for ubuntu's netbook edition? [04:49] gilaniali: because you created it as root [04:49] !netbook [04:49] AxionStile, boot.ini has very simple format [04:49] Woodyjlw, ubuntu should install wine for you when you install playonlinux [04:49] Datz: no, just this one. [04:49] Datz: you can ask in here [04:49] ok [04:49] gilaniali, sudo===root [04:49] i need to know if these updates were critical [04:49] hey, anyone else having problems with their compiz wallpaper plugin? [04:49] How can I improve Flash performance in Firefox. Activity in one tab will affect a video playing in another tab. Sometimes it just locks up FF. [04:49] iow, must i reboot to have a secure system? [04:49] NateW, oh ok...thanks [04:50] Hey, just updated 10.04, and now it won't boot. Says it gives up waiting for root device. Help? [04:50] err, i mean, anyone else having problems with their compiz wallpaper plugin after installing maverick? [04:50] well, the netbook interface didn't install.. I forget what it is called now. Should I just try to reinstall it? [04:50] graft, you can solve compiz problems by removing it [04:50] graft: never have gotten it to work period [04:50] jonathon_: there is no way [04:50] so, where is this update-motd.d stuff called from when you log in? [04:50] Lint01: why would i do that? [04:50] oracle: If you're using the regular graphical system, it'll tell you if you need to restart. [04:50] graft, ubuntu is much more enjiyable without it [04:50] glebihan, WARNING **: Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Data, Version=5.2.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d' or one of its dependencies === James is now known as Guest65384 [04:50] that is what i am getting [04:51] Lint01: that's like, your opinion, man [04:51] rww, but it wont tell me what security fixes were applied tho [04:51] blakkheim: Lint01: so how do I give my user account access to create files in '/' or '/opt' [04:51] Datz: What do you see now on your netbook? [04:51] Lint01: except you cant SUPER + E to see all of your workspaces [04:51] ah.. there is actually a man page for update-motd. nm. :) [04:51] NateW, i don't use workspaces [04:51] gilaniali: you can sudo chown youruser /the/directory [04:51] Any luck with other browsers? Epiphany? Opera? [04:51] gollum211: ok, guess unity didn't install. just looks like plain 10.10 gnome now [04:51] gilaniali, chown -R username /opt/path [04:52] somethig like MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection missing [04:52] jonathon_: no, blame adobe for making bad proprietary software that sucks on linux [04:52] Datz: type: dpkg --list unity* [04:52] I have some problems with the Me Menu. I'm just now trying to use it for the first time. I have Ubuntu 10.04 that I just upgraded via APT to 10.10. I have set up AIM and Google Talk IM accounts as well as Twitter accounts. However, I do not have a broadcast field. It's just not there. Plus I don't know how to get to my buddy lists for my IM accounts. Also, when I tried to set up facebook, it authorized facebook, but th [04:52] ere was no "Apply" button so it wouldn't finalize creating the account. Anyone else have similar issues? [04:52] jonathon_: are you running 32 or 64bit? [04:52] gollum211: ok, well I guess it is installed, but is not loaded or something [04:52] Lint01: does the -R mean recursively add to all subfolders? [04:52] gilaniali: don't give your user the ability to create files in /, that's a terrible security practice [04:52] gollum211: I'll check [04:52] gilaniali: yes [04:52] gilaniali, yes [04:52] 64-bit 10.04 [04:52] gilaniali: don't do it! [04:52] are you using the 10.1 64bit version? [04:52] admin0: when do you get this message ? cause this doesn't mention mono... [04:52] Datz: you want to see Unity, right? [04:52] jeez, you guys, learn some basic hygeine [04:53] I just updated and it now loads saying gave up waiting on root device. Anyone know what to do? [04:53] graft, eh? [04:53] graft: learn some basic..reading? he's doing it to a subdirectory of /opt [04:53] and what does ch at the start stand for? [04:53] anyone know how to get the 'html validator' firefox plugin workin in 32-bit ubuntu? works in 64bit by default but 32bit is telling me "FATAL ERROR : The dynamic C library contained in the extension file could not be found." [04:53] blakkheim: read what he said, he also said / [04:53] jonathon_: are you running the 64bit version from adobelabs and not from the repos? [04:53] gollum211: yes [04:53] If I'm not back soon.. dont call your local authorities. I'll be fine [04:53] also... i just removed it to the panel to see if removing it and re-adding it would do any good, but now I can't find it in the list of things to add to the panel :( [04:53] anyone know why gdm might be broken but startx works fine? [04:54] Lint, Nate - thanks for the assistance! [04:54] no probs [04:54] why there's no Public folder in Ubuntu? [04:54] frooh: gdm? [04:54] frooh: by broken, what do you mean ? what happens ? what error messages ? [04:54] frooh: maybe a bad .desktop? [04:54] sorry, should be more specific [04:54] the screen stays completely black [04:54] Lint01: ive got a ~/Public folder [04:54] the logs don't seem to give any error messages that I can tell [04:55] Hey ruggy, manage to get PX working? [04:55] I looked in /var/log/gdm/:0.log and /var/log/X11/xorg.0.log [04:55] Greetings :) I have a question about compiz and ATI video drivers... I previously had 10.04 with compiz fusion working great on this laptop which has an ATI video. I upgraded to 10.10, but now I cant get compiz fusion to work. I do have the restricted ATI driver installed. When I go to System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects tab to change to "Extra" graphics... it returns an error "Desktop Effects could not be enabled". Please hel [04:55] p? How do I get my compiz fusion working again? [04:55] Datz: Try typing: sudo apt-get install unity [04:55] blakkheim: I am used to Fluxbox, how easy is it to configure awesome ? [04:55] NateW, in $HOME? then it's not public [04:55] gollum211: when I run "unity" I get some failures [04:55] pibarnas: I don't think I have a .desktop, lemme check [04:55] frooh: ok, when you start X, what command do you use ? [04:55] About 2D -v- 3D? [04:55] gollum211: says installed, and at newest [04:55] glebihan: startx [04:56] gollum211: this is in a VM, and not a netbook btw. I don't know if it matters [04:56] frooh: just startx ? [04:56] glebihan: or really sudo startx since I can't do that as my regular user [04:56] so, why would one pam_motd call the update-motd.d scripts and not the other? pam.conf is identical... [04:56] just "sudo startx" [04:56] frooh: check /usr/share/xsessions/ :) [04:56] Rug: i thought you were talking about tiling WMs only. i like openbox for floating a WM. awesome is configured with one lua file [04:56] NateW: had to check, flashplugin-nonfree is the package I have installed [04:56] frooh: and what does that start inside the X session ? [04:56] pibarnas: what am I looking for? [04:56] glebihan: gnome [04:56] Datz: I think it does, because your VM's graphics driver may have issues with 3D. See this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/614088 [04:57] gollum211: ok thanks. I'll have a look [04:57] blakkheim: I want to move to a tiling WM, but I am comming from Flux. [04:57] frooh: btw you should be able to run startx with your normal user... [04:57] /lib/security/pam_motd.so is identical on both machines [04:57] glebihan: it said permission denied when I did that [04:57] I'd try again, but I'd lose connection and that's kindav a hassle [04:57] gollum211, it was fixed [04:57] well [04:58] I'm logged in over screen, lemme pull this up on my desktop [04:58] gollum211: yes, that looks to be the problem as far as I can tell. thanks. [04:58] gollum211, it says if no 3d is available [04:58] frooh: no you can open a different display [04:58] oh, good call [04:58] startx :1 ? [04:58] frooh: use "-- :1" at the end of the command [04:58] k [04:58] I don't think 3D is available by default [04:58] jonathon_: if you want, adobe has a beta 64bit plugin available. for me its WAY faster and more responsive. for that you have to remove the package, then download : http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer_square_p2_64bit_linux_092710.tar.gz [04:58] after that, extract and copy to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ [04:59] jonathon_: make sure to remove the flash package from the repos if you do so [04:59] glebihan: ok this is weird, it gives an error about locking ~/.Xauthority [04:59] but I don't have that, should I touch it? [04:59] frooh: yes try that [04:59] gollum211: anyway, unity is just some add on to gnome? [05:00] wait no, I'm just dumb, it's there [05:00] NateW: Thanks. I'll give it a shot, the insight helps, I didn't want to make it worse! [05:00] * frooh chowns it [05:00] hi guys [05:00] i was wondering [05:00] Help with 10.10 install - USB and CD both boot fine, but don't see HDs. When I try to install, it says insufficient space, because it can't write to CD or USB (not enough space). If I boot to HD, previous Debian install boots fine. Any ideas? [05:00] frooh: .Xauthority should have permissions 600 and be owned by your user [05:00] if I used apt-get to install kubuntu on my ubuntu 10.04, does that mean its the same as if I had installed Kubuntu from the disk? Or if I had used the synaptic to get Kubuntu? [05:00] it's the same right? [05:01] glebihan: I think somehow root got it when I started this session [05:01] brb [05:01] hey, gnome3 has been pushed back to 2011, so why is there gnome3-session in the synaptic? [05:01] frooh: ok [05:01] is there a way to restart pam? [05:01] it doesn't seem to be calling pam_motd.so [05:01] RRU_Sciguy: probably a testing build [05:02] if I used apt-get to install kubuntu on my ubuntu 10.04, does that mean its the same as if I had installed Kubuntu from the disk? Or if I had used the synaptic to get Kubuntu? It's the same right? [05:02] NateW, good point [05:02] RP64: yes [05:02] I did what? [05:02] RRU_Sciguy: just like there is gnome-shell in the repos as well [05:02] tonyyarusso: are u sure? [05:02] !unity [05:02] Greetings I have a question about compiz and ATI video drivers... I previously had 10.04 with compiz fusion working great on this laptop which has an ATI video. I upgraded to 10.10, but now I cant get compiz fusion to work. I do have the restricted ATI driver installed. When I go to System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects tab to change to "Extra" graphics... it returns an error "Desktop Effects could not be enabled". [05:02] Please help? How do I get my compiz fusion working again? [05:02] RP64: yes === vafggrafrag is now known as dmartinez [05:02] NateW: so its the same? [05:02] RP64: not exactly the same applications selection as if you had installed Kubuntu to start with [05:02] RP64: It's the same as far as I know, I think Synaptic runs apt/dpkg in the background, it's just a frontend [05:02] humm, ubottu doesn't even know anything about unity :p [05:03] glebihan: why not? how do I fix that [05:03] RP64: what? [05:03] RP64: but apt-get and synaptic do the same [05:03] glebihan: well I typed sudo aptitude install [05:03] glebihan: is that the same as apt-get [05:03] RP64: there's no "fix" as this is not a bug... if you have all the applications you need, you're good [05:03] Maka: try removing the proprietary drivers, and reinstall them [05:03] Does ubuntu have a good DVD burning sotware packag? [05:04] glebihan: im saying is sudo aptitude install the same as apt-get [05:04] ? [05:04] RP64: yes aptitude and apt-get are the sma [05:04] NateW: ok i'll try that..thank you [05:04] same [05:04] glebihan: why have 2 names for it ?? [05:04] Datz, ubotto needs an upgrsde [05:04] is ubuntu still based on debian? [05:04] ajsie: yes [05:04] ajsie: yes [05:04] Maka: also, there's a chance that the new proprietary drivers may no longer support your card [05:04] okay [05:04] Ashish500: Brasero would do just fine. [05:04] glebihan: no luck [05:04] so it just add new packages? something else it modifies from debian? [05:04] NateW: that would make me very sad [05:05] glebihan: I chowned it, logged out, and it still says my user isn't allowed to startX [05:05] NateW: anyway.... i'll try removing and reinstalling [05:05] glebihan: why does it have 2 names if its the same command === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [05:05] ajsie: there are bunches of modifications. I'm sure nobody in this channel could list them all. [05:05] aptitude and apt-get are not exactly the same [05:05] thanks i need to insatll it [05:05] okay [05:05] NateW: thank you for responding :) [05:05] RP64: it's not the same command... but it will work almost the same way [05:05] aptitude handles dependencies better and keeps things cleaner [05:05] blakkheim: debian doesn't have aptitude? [05:05] ajsie: it does [05:05] okay [05:05] frooh: still the same error with .Xauthority ? [05:06] ajsie, no, just steals from debian and replaces wallpapers [05:06] Ashish500: it's installed default on ubuntu. no? [05:06] aptitude search is the best. [05:06] ah hah! /etc/pam.d/sshd seems to be clobbered on one of my machines. [05:06] Lint01: :) [05:06] RP64: think of it as two programs that do the same things [05:06] glebihan: so is the one I used gonna work less better than if I typed apt-get to get Kubuntu? [05:06] Maka: If the new drivers don't support your card you may be able to just change the control file. I have to use the Ubuntu restricted drivers with the AMD control file to avoid kernel panics or an ugly watermark. [05:06] RP64: no just the same [05:06] NateW: so in the end I am still getting the real full Kubuntu by having input this command right [05:06] oh ! i found it.. [05:06] yeah [05:06] jonathon_: ok thank you [05:07] sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [05:07] was the command [05:07] yeah.. same thing [05:07] glebihan: well, it also says user not authorized to run the X server [05:07] glebihan: is there a group I should be in to do that? [05:07] ok now that really and truly sucked. the alternate installer does NOT support wifi, and will not allow me to initialize any other card than the built in wired card in this laptop [05:07] boooo [05:07] frooh: I wouldn't think so, lemme check [05:07] wait [05:07] GUYS WAIT! [05:07] its asking me in the terminal: [05:08] configuring KDM, default display manager : gdm , kdm [05:08] which one should I pick ?? [05:08] How much time it takes to download ubuntu iso using torrents [05:08] RP64: do you want Kubuntu or Ubuntu's login manager? [05:08] i would use gdm because im a gnome guy, but its up to you really [05:08] Ashish500: depends on your connection [05:08] a little help please ... I have a problem when configuring autologin in ubuntu alternate 10.04.1 ... install in console mode ... and after reviewing a manual install mingetty ... and the next step is to edit the tty1 file that would have to be in / etc / event.d / ... but there is obviously not the folder the file event.dy tty1 [05:08] NateW: Should I purge the flash package or just remove? [05:08] rww: uh which one is better? [05:08] ashish500 ~ its taking me about 2 hours over a 560kB/s link [05:08] RP64: whichever one you prefer. They both do the same thing. [05:08] jonathon_: i just remove it [05:08] NateW: if I pick kdm can I switch the login screen back to gdm if I dont like it ? [05:08] probably [05:08] rww: if i dont like the kdm can i move it back to gdm [05:08] RP64: yes [05:09] NateW: awgh probably?! lol [05:09] ashish500 ~ thats for the desktop dvd iso [05:09] rww: how [05:09] google? [05:09] =P [05:09] -_ - lol [05:09] RP64: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, I think [05:09] ashish500 ~ the alternate installer 690MB cd image took me about oh 20 minutes [05:09] !google | NateW [05:09] NateW: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [05:09] where is the Alternate for 10.04 ? [05:09] rww: making a joke [05:09] bytesaber ~ off the alternate download page [05:10] frooh: no that's weird, I just created a new user without any permissions, and was able to startx with that user... [05:10] yes [05:10] rww: lol [05:10] NateW: lol [05:10] bytesaber: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ , see the "Alternate install CD" section [05:10] deryl i don't see 10.0.4 http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [05:10] grr [05:10] well [05:10] AxionStile: worked? [05:10] I can figure that out later [05:10] glebihan: any way you could help me with GDM? [05:10] guys is Kubuntu good... is the upside of it that its similar to Windows and flashier? [05:10] http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download [05:10] oh sorry I'm doing kubuntu [05:10] rww, cool thanks [05:11] Nate that file grew legs sir.. it ran away [05:11] are we hearing any talk/solutions for world of warcraft crashing on startup on 10.10? [05:11] RP64: i havent used kubuntu much, but its really a matter of you opinion if its better or not. [05:11] NateW: so why do u not like kubuntu [05:11] any help? [05:11] hi what is the best software to run windows in a virtual environment in ubuntu? [05:11] bytesaber ~ taking me a minute I'm still grabbing the desktop dvd image and its saturating my link [05:12] bytesaber ~ http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [05:12] nprasath002: 'kvm' is the default with Ubuntu [05:12] RP64: i personally dont like the look and layout of kubuntu, also i find that it doesnt perform as well and the apps arent as nice. but kde people will say the same thing about gnome [05:12] frooh: well as you don't get any error message, it's always hard to guess, but you can try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop [05:12] NateW: uh oh that sounds bad lol [05:12] deryl, ahh torrent. way better. thank you [05:12] hm [05:12] RP64: its about a trillion times better than windows though [05:12] yep [05:12] rprp46: again its all personal preference [05:13] NateW: will installing this KDE while I also have GNOME installed make my computer slow? [05:13] sunvirtualbox [05:13] bytesaber ~ thats what I'm doing. 70 seeds right now. getting 566kB/s [05:13] RP64: No [05:13] wtf [05:13] RRU_Sciguy: whats ur prefference and why? [05:13] glebihan: somehow my main user is no longer in sudoers [05:13] well 70 active out of 240 [05:13] so now I can't become root [05:13] RP64: no it'll just use some disk space [05:13] Okay [05:13] brb [05:14] frooh: wow... that's odd... [05:14] hmmm [05:14] I wonder if I should install from scratch... [05:14] I just opened the boot.ini in ubuntu.... :D ! [05:14] I have a home partition [05:15] rp64: So far Gnome, a little cleaner, nice interface. and if you install the other desktop packages through synaptic, then you can choose which one to use at login [05:15] see, I'm having driver problems in windows xp.. it doesnt understand that I have a modem.. so I cant connect and ask dumb questions unless im on ubuntu [05:15] frooh: that may be the best solution, cause you seem to have several weird problems there [05:15] frooh: was sudoers the only thing that was messed up? That'd be my concern [05:15] Hi, I'm new to IRC chatting. How can I query a server to list all of the available IRC channels for me? [05:15] lucent: lots of things are wrong [05:15] nanite try ./list minus the period [05:15] lucent: gdm seems to be broken for some reason [05:15] nanite: if you query the channels, it gives you all the channels and then kicks you offline for requesting too much info, be warned [05:15] Thank you [05:15] I believe that's it [05:15] hi i got something wierd. the install cd could use my wireless card but the full install cant seem to [05:16] You're very welcome [05:16] sudoers seems to have just happened === Guest51141 is now known as Yowshi [05:16] nanite, if you are using xchat, Network>channels [05:16] natew ~ hehe yeah I'm definitely firmly in the KDE camp, and I say the exact same thing about gnome. the 2 camps have been sniping at each other for years === Yowshi is now known as Guest84760 [05:16] frooh: well you can fix simple specific issues if you know what you did... trying to magically put the scrambled egg back in its shell is not so easy [05:16] Network>channels [05:16] natew ~ hehe 6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of the other [05:16] No, I'm using Terminal and irssi [05:16] lucent: I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 :-( [05:17] No GUI client. [05:17] afaik I didn't do anything else [05:17] deryl: haha, which is fine with me though [05:17] frooh: is it a clean iso? [05:17] frooh: i.e. boot root shell "single" mode on kernel command line would get you to root shell and then edit /etc/sudoers or your group info to add 'admin' group to the user, but other things may still be broken [05:17] zaya: er, I used update-managaer [05:17] natew ~ same with me. as long as we all use waht we like, i really don't care if they fight or not [05:17] nanite, ok so you cant click the buttons XD [05:17] Lol. [05:17] is anyone avuilable to help me wioth my wireless card issue? [05:17] frooh: fresh reinstall would be the most assuring that you have a working OS [05:17] right [05:17] I'm not using a GUI client [05:17] grr [05:17] a little help please ... I have a problem when configuring autologin in ubuntu alternate 10.04.1 ... install in console mode ... and after reviewing a manual install mingetty ... and the next step is to edit the tty1 file that would have to be in /etc/event.d/ ... but not found folder /etc/event.d/ and obviously noy found file tty1 [05:17] deryl: exactly, its all just what you like and as long as everyones needs are met, thats all that matters [05:17] Purely Ubuntu terminal [05:17] nanite: it wouldn't be a good idea to query how many channles are on freenode. it is rather wise to find channels from the web. [05:18] frooh: that usually does it [05:18] this is just a hassle because this computer doesn't have a CD driver [05:18] Okay you guys I'm very new and very ignorant. I'm running Ubuntu 10 and Windows XP. Xp doesn't have the drivers (for basically anything including modem) so I must be on Ubuntu. Windows is the 1st to auto boot upon starting the pc. I'd like to switch it to where Ubuntu auto boots instead. Nate clearly informed me to edit the boot.ini file. I have that opened right now in ubuntu but don't understand what to edit exactly. I s [05:18] ee the timeout in seconds, etc. Just need a little direction if possible. [05:18] drive* [05:18] JoeMaverickSett: OK. So, simply check out the freenode.org website for the channel list? === semitones_tea is now known as semitones_cereal [05:18] frooh: USB install? [05:18] zaya: right [05:18] yeah I have to format my upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 as well. getting SERIOUS i/o issues and even just installing a 40KB package snapped my load avg to 7.10+ for over 5 minutes [05:18] nanite: you could like do that + find irc channels on freenode on google. [05:19] hi i got something wierd. the install cd could use my wireless card but the full install cant seem to can anyone help me get myu wireless card running? [05:19] * frooh goes to car to get usb key [05:19] Hey, just got on Maveric and installed vmware player. Every time I start VMware player it wants to recompile the kernel drivers? Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know of a sloution? [05:19] AxionStile: one sec, i'll boot up my vm of xp here [05:19] I'm thinking it was the upgrade, because ii have had exactly zero issues like that with 10.04. so going to format and reinstall [05:19] NateW : Thank you very much [05:19] JoeMaverickSett: Alright. Also, exactly how safe is IRC chatting? [05:19] besides the fact I have an rsync ANd an rdiff-backup of my 10.04 install if i MUST go back to it [05:19] JoeMaverickSett: At least when it comes to security. [05:19] For some reason upgrading to 10.10 changing my double click track pad settings...There's no option under "Mouse", help please? [05:20] nanite, I believe very [05:20] nanite: i wouldn't know. but it's freenode + it's the ubuntu channels, so i do trust them. [05:20] Nanite, you can use irc with ssl [05:20] Oh, really? [05:20] Yes, that would be good. [05:20] hi i got something wierd. the install cd could use my wireless card but the full install cant seem to can anyone help me get myu wireless card running? [05:20] AxionStile: second line should be timeout=# .. right? [05:20] Help with 10.10 install - USB and CD both boot fine, but don't see HDs. When I try to install, it says insufficient space, because it can't write to CD or USB (not enough space). If I boot to HD, previous Debian install boots fine. Any ideas? [05:20] Yeah, well, actually, i'm not sure if all channels support it [05:20] I am on an institution network, and I'd rather shield my communications from the server [05:20] nanite: IRC is untrusted [05:21] nanite as lonjg as you stick to the official channels, there are enough realtime chatteers to debunk MOST false info so sticking with them is the right choice [05:21] correct sir, right under bootloader [05:21] second line [05:21] I'm not really familiar with either protocol tbh [05:21] deryl: I see. [05:21] AxionStile: change that to the number of seconds you want the selection to appear [05:21] How would I connect with SSL? [05:21] oh shoot [05:21] NateW: done [05:21] simply type SSL when I call up the server? [05:21] lucent: I'm dumb, I was trying to sudo on the machine that irssi is running on [05:22] AxionStile: and 4th line should be [operating systems] [05:22] guest84760: did you try System > Admin > Hardware Drivers? [05:22] nanite: http://www.irssi.org might want to read up some tips&tricks. [05:22] It depends on your client, but from what it sounds like, it's not going to help you [05:22] lucent: LOL [05:22] Yes sir NateW [05:22] guest84760 ~ hehe. the alternative text installer does NOT see my wifi. but the full desktop version does (of both ubuntu and kubuntu). my issue is usually that the ati card in this laptop locks kubuntu cold, but not ubuntu [05:22] nanite: tell your client to use SSL and connect on port 7000 [05:22] JoeMaverickSett: Thank you. [05:22] hrm. this particular box did not like the 10.10 update [05:22] i just don't want gnome on here if i can help it :) [05:22] Under operating systems line the next is: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect [05:22] frooh: so your sudoers file didn't change by itself after all :) [05:22] seems to wedge for 5 minutes or so every boot. betcha it's nfs...

[05:23] I'm not clicking, but it didn't sound nice [05:23] How is this even an emergency, nanite? [05:23] Sure thing Nate [05:23] It's not. [05:23] Who said it was an emergency?

[05:24] hello [05:24] im running ubuntu studio [05:24] 10.04 [05:24] :) [05:24] frooh: ok goo luck then :) [05:24] http://www.pasteall.org/16181/text [05:24] s/goo/good [05:25] ubotto is just a bot. the !ops tag is just to notify the normal channel operators is all [05:25] TheoryDesigns, how are liking it? [05:25] glebihan: I don't *want* to, I just don't see a simpler option at this point [05:25] * frooh blames ATI [05:25] frooh: yeah I understand that... [05:25] frooh ~ hehe you and me both [05:25] coz_ it is so great im using it for a vps to host free shells and host websites :) [05:25] TheoryDesigns, very cool :) [05:26] i failed. i broke windows [05:26] frooh: I must be protected by the gods, using ati drivers, didn't a fresh install for about 2 years now... [05:26] coz_ i want to use ubuntu studio for as long as they keep releasing new releases cause i know i just have a better upgraded os to look forward to :D [05:26] zacstone: windows was broke before you touched it [05:26] lol [05:26] coz_ are you a ubuntu studio developer? [05:26] zacstone, rock or baseball [05:26] glebihan ~ hehe wish the kde release of ubuntu didn't have that issue [05:26] glebihan: well, this silly laptop is just full of weird stuff; when I first set it up I even had to compile my own network drivers [05:27] glebihan ~ locks my ati card on this machine cold [05:27] i have to install windows 7 again [05:27] TheoryDesigns, no I am not [05:27] frooh: wow haven't had to do that since dapper I think... [05:27] why cant ubuntu do all the work like it used to? [05:27] zaya, windows has NEVER failed me [05:27] How did windows not fail you? [05:27] coz_: ok just thought you had some thing to do with it what ubuntu versions you use? [05:28] As far as laptops go, you don't have too much choice, i've found battery life to suffer a lot under linux [05:28] hrm, not nfs. removed all of them from fstab [05:28] RRU_Sciguy: I never said it fails anyone, broke vs fail [05:28] !ot [05:28] #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! [05:28] i say both! [05:28] zacstone: what exactly do you think ubuntu "doesn't do for you"? [05:28] hrm, is there a verbose boot script logging option? [05:28] uhh ubuntu DOES do all the work you want it to. installs, splits NTFS drives for install space, autopartitions or allows you to manually do it, installs a base set, sets up your system according to what you tell it you need for additionals ettings for devices IF you so desire or need to [05:28] AxionStile: because the ubuntu record is showing up as C:\wubildr.mbr instead of the format that the xp record is in, i'd be really cautious of setting default to it. here it is to try: http://www.pasteall.org/16182/text <--- but be careful, if it doesnt work, you may then have to use a livecd to change it back, but i dont think there should be any serious issues [05:28] TheoryDesigns, I have used most of them... I always go back to main ubuntu ... are you having any issues on that system?

[05:29] lucent: well, something is wedging during boot for 5 minutes or so. hard to tell who is doing it [05:29] Nate: Thanks very much. I'm reluctant now though haha. I don't have a live cd.. I just have wubi on pen drive.. and i dont have the drivers on xp for the modem, audio, etc so i cant get online :( [05:29] last thing i see is "setting sensors limits" [05:30] geist: bad news to hear this... what kind of hardware? [05:30] i can't believe they released another version of ubuntu without fixing this window border bug [05:30] hi... a little help please ... I have a problem when configuring autologin in ubuntu alternate 10.04.1 ... install in console mode ... and after reviewing a manual install mingetty ... and the next step is to edit the tty1 file that would have to be in /etc/event.d/ ... but not found folder /etc/event.d/ and obviously noy found file tty1 [05:30] and why use the windows loader instead of grub when grub has zero issues booting windows as well (unless you isntall windows AFTER you installed ubuntu and then well, everything out there alrady tells you to install windows first due to how it installs itself [05:30] xeon 5520, dual core [05:30] ) [05:30] AxionStile: it should be fine, but id have a livecd to be on the safe side [05:30] well, dual cpu [05:30] zacstone: that's a design feature... and it's hardly a negative [05:30] id say its 95% safe [05:30] geist: try booting 'nosmp' kernel option to disable the SMP related stuff, just as a test [05:30] graft: what's going on? [05:30] lucent: it's an upgrade from 10.04. digging into what's up [05:30] ken what can i do? [05:31] What exactly is the live cd? Is that just the iso on cd that loads as a bootable cd to install ubuntu? Am even remotely correct on this stupid question? [05:31] hrm, will do [05:31] RRU_Sciguy: the whole only-1-pixel-border-with-which-to-resize thing [05:31] zacstone: use sudo?.. like the system is designed to use. [05:31] AxionStile: yes. [05:31] AxionStile: exactly [05:31] 95% is good odds, though I have horrible luck with virtually everything [05:31] why would you want to be root all the time anyway? [05:31] Alright! [05:31] once whatever times out times out it seems to be totally fine. evyerthing is working [05:31] AxionStile: is your issue with a wubi install? [05:31] I'll take the iso off my pendrive.. and burn it to a cdrw :) [05:31] graft: work around it is easy, there's a Metacity setting to enable modifier+R_button to resize the window [05:31] Ken8521, It is a negative when you are used to being able to access ALL files and folders as the admin with WINDOWS [05:31] AxionStile: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD [05:31] it's also pre-network. can't ping it while it's waiting [05:31] AxionStile: you can boot from a pendrive also [05:32] ken8521 ~ because he doesn't understand how unix works and is trying to make it like windows to make it easier for himself (right or wrong) [05:32] AxionStile: what you could do, is put the ubuntu iso image onto your pendrive and as long as your bios is bootable to usb you can boot that way [05:32] lucent: i shouldn't have to work around it, it's one of the most basic features of a window system [05:32] zacstone: to get to a root login shell, type "sudo -i" [05:32] RRU_Sciguy: it's not really difficult(though not advised) to run nautilus w/ root priv. [05:32] graft: oh yeah, that IS annoying.... [05:32] Anyone know how to change trackpad right click settings...didn't find it under "Mouse" [05:32] graft: you're behaving rudely? [05:32] !usb | AxionStile [05:32] Almoxarife my issues are various lol (thanks Jo, histo, etc) [05:32] AxionStile: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:32] Ah yes [05:32] I can look to see if it can boot up the usb upon turning the comp on [05:32] Has anyone here done a netboot before [05:32] ? [05:32] lucent: i don't think so, i'm just stating my view [05:33] I just want ubuntu to load before windows auto loads :) [05:33] AxionStile: but there is more involved than just putting an iso on cd. [05:33] Ken8521, I never do anything unless I know what it is Im doing [05:33] gnushitweasel: not w/ ubuntu, but i assume theirs is like Debian, which i've done many times [05:33] AxionStile: that page will describe it [05:33] RRU_Sciguy technically windows 7 runs more like "admin" rather "root" because the system itself locks you out of a lot [05:33] Histo: I know, sorta :( I didnt have much problems in windows all tha toften but you are correct I'm sure [05:33] I'll check it :) [05:33] graft: no, you are being rude to me. I don't like it, and so if you want help with your problem I will ignore you and let anyone else help you. Good luck with that. [05:33] I have a Nvidia Vanta graphics card, what is the proper way to install the best driver for it? [05:33] a sec [05:33] RRU_Sciguy: well, thats good.. my point is, calling up a file browser w/ root priv, if thats what you want, is not that difficult... my real point, the issue is him, not sudo. [05:34] Ken8521, true [05:34] Brb, reading :) [05:34] should I really be running an AV. I worry about leaks thru web sites, given I have adobe flash plugin (a necessity) and silverlight (again a necessity for vids I watch), that these could be used to execute system damaging code? [05:34] Cityscape: system > admin > hardware drivers [05:34] how can i disable screen locking when my screen goes blank? [05:34] histo: it doesn't list any drivers for me. [05:34] That's what i really don't like about windows. I don't mind so much that it costs money, but i hate feeling like i have limited control over my own computer [05:34] Cityscape: hrm.. [05:35] gnushitweasel: well let it get a virus, then yuo can have no control [05:35] Cityscape: let me check something [05:35] lol [05:35] you know you CAN disable all the lockdown stuff in windows vista and 7 right? [05:35] mattcodes: worse, your browser can be used to create a reverse tunnel back into your system from any open web browser and a 1x1 pixel iframe... proven. [05:35] You really have limited control to begin with, and that's what bothers me [05:35] Cityscape: then it probably has found an open source/free driver that works fine [05:35] interesting. whatever is weding it up is also wedging up ssh. ssh logins dont complete after doing the initial handshake [05:35] mattcodes: possible attack vectors are default router passwords, the use of Flash by default, Silverlight, and Java [05:35] I'm using a rails app to execute a shell script that opens Xvfb and I need to be able to execute subsequent commands in the script, but Xvfb hangs the shell (you have to ctrl-c to quit Xvfb) [05:36] Cityscape: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [05:36] I may actually just use a live usb creator? [05:36] lucent, security is a concern for me. what would you do to prevent, router passwords are cryptic [05:36] can I use portage with ubuntu? [05:36] Is there a way to script it in it's own shell? Or necessary? === AK|offline is now known as Andorin [05:36] how can i config permission for user to connect to samba server? [05:36] AxionStile: you may have better luck than me, but using USB creator a while ago, w/ a Live ISO I just downloaded from Ubuntu.com the installer would not start, kept getting some strange error. [05:36] !samba > zipp0 [05:36] zipp0, please see my private message [05:36] I want to completely reinstall ubuntu from CD or USB, but I think the exosting Debian boot loader is interfering with the install. I can't see the hd once I get to "Install". Any ideas on how to overwrite the existing Debian? [05:36] would anyone recommend the alternative flash plugins instead? [05:37] Lint, i imagine you could with a LOT of configuration, but it'd probably be easier to install gentoo [05:37] I guess that's more of a general linux question [05:37] monolight is open source so I feel a bit more comfortable with that [05:37] Maybe #linux [05:37] mattcodes: I use Ubuntu with reckless abandon and connect to unprotected public wifi networks, maybe you need to ask a security expert and not an Ubuntu help channel [05:37] ##linux rather. [05:37] I dont think i need java (at least not for applet support) [05:37] mattcodes: the one from adobe. Google flash squared [05:37] lsoderman: thats very unlikely the debian install is doing that(or at least it never has for me)... [05:37] histo: i setup connection for Mac user to connect to the server via smb:// [05:37] lsoderman: if you boot the live CD, can you view the drive in Gparted? [05:37] mattcodes, i have heard that the adobe flash player is less resource intensive than the open source ones [05:37] histo: but he cannot modify some directory [05:37] MMkay :) [05:37] Nope - but if I let it boot to the original Debian it's fine. [05:38] x1337x: I guess putting a "&" at the end of the command should solve your problem [05:38] zipp0: then you need to give him write access to the share in the smb.conf [05:38] histo: so how can i config permission for that user on the server? [05:38] ... [05:38] rru_sciguy ~ depends. the 32bit on a 64bit machine is muchmore intensive than the 64bit beta of flash square for 64bit machines === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [05:38] proved that today [05:38] mattcodes: moonlight and flash are completely different [05:38] lsoderman: somehow i doubt highly debian has anything to do w/ that. === Max is now known as Guest48769 [05:38] zipp0: that page will explain the share needs to be writeable. [05:38] mattcodes: if you want flash to work, i suggest using the adobe plugin [05:38] histo: thanks :) [05:39] Ken8521 - Could it be because the original partition is the entire drive? [05:39] gnushitweasel: Can you change your nick, please? This channel's designated as family-friendly. [05:39] mattcodes: it's unlikely to be a serious security risk [05:39] graft, I meant im comfortable with moonlight installed as its is open source and miguel is a fing genius [05:39] histo: will that work for me? The version number for my card's driver at the Nvidia site is 71.86.14. My version number isn't listed on that page you linked to me. [05:39] Sure [05:39] lsoderman: maybe burn and boot a parted magic CD?.. delete the debian partitions, then boot the ubuntu CD... problem is, if there's actually a problem w/ Ubuntu detecting your drive, your hosed at that point [05:39] man update-dlocatedb: "update-dlocatedb generates a plain text package contents listing dlocate from the files /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list ." I do not understand this sentence: What does update-dlocatedb generate? [05:39] deryl, that's obvious. But I just have 32 bit pcs, so i dont really look into the 64 bit stuff [05:39] mattcodes: ah, never mind === gnushitweasel is now known as gnuspitferret [05:39] better? [05:39] gnuspitferret: yes [05:39] rru_sciguy ~ well actually its not obvious, but in your case the 64bit would do nothing for you so.. [05:39] lol [05:39] * lucent notes that it does not appear the nick profanity was malicious [05:39] mattcodes: I've used the various Flash plugin alternatives. Haven't had much luck :( [05:39] first few days away from windows as a desktop and I have to admit im loving it [05:39] Cityscape: the binary driver will work for your card. [05:40] Ken8521 - don't mind wiping the drive, there's nothing on it of import. [05:40] histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511374/ Is this worth it? [05:41] Cityscape: did you get the link from ubottu? [05:41] lsoderman: well, lif you don't mind, thats what i would try.. boot a Gparted or partedmagic live CD, format disk, then boot the ubuntu disk.. of course, really Gparted should see the drive under Ubuntu.. strange [05:41] mattcodes: I think your issue might be one of firewall not of av software, someone please comment on this. Both are available. I have Avast! free av for Linux, but have never found anything interesting on my installs with it. [05:41] !nvidia > Cityscape [05:41] Cityscape, please see my private message [05:41] deryl, im a bit of a techie, and I know that two different instruction sets/word sizes arent gonna be efficiently cross compatible [05:41] how do i define a root system [05:41] zacstone: what do you mean? [05:41] zacstone, what do you mean? [05:41] deryl, at any rate... back to helping the others :) [05:42] Ken8521 - yeah, it's confusing. Was thinking of going into Debian first and changing the partition first, to see if that changes things. [05:42] With a live cd.. is it possible to just install ubuntu alone? does it give the option to wipe a partition (or more) off the hd and just install a clean Ubuntu alone with no windows or dualboot all together? [05:42] 10.10 remix help. I'm getting both the old remix interface and the new one thats more like a tool bar on the side, how do I turn off the old interface? [05:42] histo: i write in smb.conf http://pastie.org/1214617 . Please tell me is that right? [05:42] i cant install ubuntu. it said it cant define a root [05:42] histo: sorry, I dissconected.....did you see the link i sent you? [05:42] Ken8521 - where can I get gparted? Will have to dl to laptop and burn disc [05:42] lsoderman: like from a debian Live CD?... i doubt Debian is going to let you change a partition it's mounted on and using [05:42] zacstone: hmmmm..... are you writing over everything? [05:42] @Axion yes you can install ubuntu alone with livecd [05:42] hrm. if i boot in recovery it boots up like a champ [05:43] zipp0: yeah but it looks like its commented out with # [05:43] Awesome [05:43] Puppy comes with gparted on it [05:43] im on andriod irc [05:43] Puppy Linux* [05:43] zipp0: there is also #samba for more specific help with samba [05:43] Cityscape: yes did you get a private message from ubottu [05:43] lsoderman: i always use parted magic.. the partition tool is Gparted but it has some more interesting tools than Gparted.. http://partedmagic.com/ [05:43] Ken8521: the ubuntu live CD comes with gparted on it [05:43] !nvidia > Cityscape [05:43] trying to get ubuntu to make a root so i can install it to dual boot with windows i installed [05:43] glebihan: i'm well aware of that [05:44] Ken8521 - sorry, don't know what I was thinking. I'll try partedmagic and see if I can fix it. [05:44] Ken8521: sorry was for lsoderman === aaron_ is now known as wyrless2002 [05:44] What kernel does 10.10 use [05:44] zacstone: you need free space on your drive to install ubuntu to. [05:44] glebihan: he is well aware of it also. you might want to read the entire conversation [05:44] !dualboot > zacstone [05:44] zacstone, please see my private message [05:44] Moral_: 2.6.35 [05:44] 0.o LOL ubotto doesnt know anything about itself XD [05:44] rww, thank you [05:44] glebihan - gparted doesn't see the hard drive partition [05:44] i havr 800 gb of free space [05:45] Hi, I'm trying to triple boot Vista, Ubuntu, and Fedora. How do I set up a third partition for ubuntu? I have unallocated space, but Ubuntu says it can't be put on there. [05:45] lucent: you're right. nosmp seems to fix it [05:45] lsoderman: and we are talking aout gparted on a Live CD, right? [05:45] histo: thanks :) i'll check it with user [05:45] zacstone: un partitioned space [05:45] hi ,how is best linux distribution for netbooks? [05:45] zacstone: check out the private message from ubottu [05:45] !best | denisubuntu [05:45] denisubuntu: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:45] denisubuntu: best is really subjective [05:45] denisubuntu: ubuntu has a netbook version [05:46] Ken8521 - yup - tried from both CD and USB. Both boot, but gparted doesn't see it, and there is no HDx entries in /dev [05:46] cough, that sucks, cough. [05:46] allen_, there is a limit as to how many partitions you can have on a drive [05:46] lsoderman: that is just weird [05:46] ah no, something is still hosed. seems the whole system is wedging up for about 5 seconds at a time, then unwedges for a second, then back [05:46] console, graphics, over ssh, etc [05:46] lsoderman: have you had ubuntu on that machine before... or is this machine extremely new or extremely old? [05:46] RRU_Sciguy, right, that's what I thought. But I have heard of people triple booting. [05:46] i know i play with ubuntu remix but ,i dont like [05:46] wow powersmokin that cig spun my head hehe [05:47] allen_: you only have 2 partitions right now ? [05:47] denisubuntu: perhaps ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:47] allen_ ~ i was for quite some time [05:47] allen_, it would be possible through multiple harddrives [05:47] So far I have 6 partitions. [05:47] Ken8521 - older machine, has debian, but this is the first ubuntu install [05:47] win, ubuntu, and fbsd [05:47] histo: yes i did. so this is my best option?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [05:47] i need speed not efects [05:47] allen_: ok then you probably have reached the limit, solutions would be several hard drives or the use of extended partitions [05:47] 6? 3 primary and 1 extended with logicals correct? [05:48] lsoderman: hmm... seems really unlikely since debian is recognizing it... but i wonder if ubuntu just doesn't recognize whatever hard drive controller it's using? [05:48] Cityscape: yes I would follow those directions. [05:48] hi folks, looks like there have been some install issues with asus netbook architecture, anyone know if there's a workaround yet? I'm looking forward to trying out maverick... [05:48] I would agree, but it's seeing the IDE CDROM fine, so I don't think that's it. [05:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/511381/ [05:48] finally! desktop dvd finished downloading. time to reinstall [05:48] my partitions so far [05:49] 1 partition is already extended [05:49] sudo reboot [05:49] lsoderman: yeah, thats true.... didn't really think of that.. unelss the hard drive is plugged into a sata controller [05:49] ughh sry wrong window [05:49] can i run ubuntu server in my netbook? [05:49] allen_: where's the empty space located ? [05:49] hi I have an problem with dual screen on my laptop. [05:49] denisubuntu: i don't see why not.. [05:49] allen_. im on a laptop and have reached the partition limit with just windows (hp recovery partition) so I installed ubuntu on a 30GB VHD through Wubi [05:49] denisubuntu ~ you can run any of the task-oriented as long as your hardware is supported [05:50] Ken8521 - nope. Same cable. They were originally set for M/S, but thought that might be a problem, so switched them both to C/S - no change. [05:50] standard desktop, server, netbook [05:50] It's not empty yet. I'm going to cut sda5 in half [05:50] And I wanna keep Wubi out of it, lol. Thanks though [05:50] rru_sciguy ~ ahh didn't just delete the recovery since the recoveery dvd set remakes those? [05:50] allen_: well as this is a logical partition, it should work [05:50] (I'm on an HP CA61) [05:51] errr CQ61 [05:51] 10.10 remix help. I'm getting both the old remix interface and the new one thats more like a tool bar on the side, how do I turn off the old interface? [05:51] I cannot get samba shares to work with a crossover cable at all can anyone help me. I am simply trying to transfer files from my laptop which is running opensuse 11.3 BUT the files are on the windows partition [05:51] hi I have an problem with dual screen on my laptop. compiz won't work with it. anyone might have a suggestion [05:51] ok. So I use gparted to cut it in half. Then leave it unallocated, or what? [05:51] remix is sucks [05:51] deryl: nope, cant afford to order set (dont think they sell them, couldnt find them), and I cant make them [05:52] rru_sciguy ~ oh the laptop doesn't have a DVD burner in it? or did you already make the set and lose it [05:52] allen_: yes you can do that that way, and select this empty space when installing your third system [05:52] hrm, didn't work this time with nosmp. must have been a fluke the last time. some sort of race condition [05:52] i always get this cannot mount location error [05:52] deryl: it won't LET me make a set, never made them before, spent days trying to do so [05:52] ok, I will try it again, I'll let you guys know what Happens [05:52] Thanks [05:53] linux needs os oriented to netbooks [05:53] rru_sciguy ~ wow, its a bit off topic but what would it say? just bomb the burns or what [05:53] i sure [05:53] I should leave the mount point as /, right? [05:53] man update-dlocatedb: "update-dlocatedb generates a plain text package contents listing dlocate from the files /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list ." I do not understand this sentence: What does update-dlocatedb generate? [05:53] allen_: yes [05:53] Is there a way to launch the Unity desktop from the GNOME desktop? [05:54] gantrixx: not from gnome, but from gdm yes [05:54] anyone a samba expert this shit is driving me crazy [05:54] I just get a purple gradient screen when I launch it from GDM [05:54] Will I have to partition it from a live cd, since I'm mounted right now? [05:54] allen_: yes that's the best way to do it [05:55] deryl: I did manage to install it to the drive once (not sure how) but started getting a message about corrupted mem. Checked the mem, OK. kept happening. Uninstalled Ubuntu, stopped getting the error. And the the option just didnt exist! [05:55] do I need to install XFree86-Mesa-libGL for ubuntu 10.10 before ati driver install? [05:55] kk, thanks [05:55] rru_sciguy ~ damn! that IS weird [05:55] deryl: tryed everything from google to create the disks short of 3rd party soft [05:56] rru_sciguy ~ but you're right you'd ahve to order a set. they sell them but you have to call them for it [05:56] rru_sciguy ~ not available as an online SKU [05:56] histo: so I followed the first step (removing nouveau by command line). Then it asked to open additional drivers, so I did and there still are no drivers available. So I moved to the next step, I have linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic, linux-headers-2.6.35-22, linux-headers-generic & linux-libc-dev (development headers) installed. I could not find the linux-restricted-modules-XXX package in synaptic. What now? [05:57] ubuntu 10.10 is stable i am workings in my laptop [05:57] Cityscape: linxu-restricted-modules-`uname -r` [05:57] deryl, Ill just stick to a 30GB Wubi installation of 10.10. works fine, and I can always save to the host drive if I run outta room [05:57] This is weird. When I try to login with a Netbook session, I get a purple screen and a mouse pointer, but nothing else [05:57] Hi there, I updated netboox remix to 10.10 but update process has been cancelled in between. Managed to reinstall the rest, but I guess I need to reconfigure a few components [05:57] I cannot see the panel [05:57] rru_sciguy ~ good plan :) [05:58] Neither has any of the windows a border and title bar [05:58] I reconfigured metacity, but no success [05:58] Susanna, I have the same problem I think [05:58] gantrixx: You solved it? [05:58] Cityscape: basically install build-essentials and download the appropriate driver from nvidia.com then run the script that you download. It will walk you through the install. [05:58] histo: i search for "linux-restricted-modules" in synaptic and it found nothing. [05:58] No, I'm just now trying to figure out what the problem is [05:58] Susanna, do you get nothing but a purple screen and a mouse pointer? [05:59] Is everyone having this problem? [05:59] Susanna. id suggest burning a CD and trying a fresh installation after backup of important data [05:59] histo: so you mean to use the manual driver from nvidia? [05:59] gantrixx: no it works fine with me [05:59] sussana netbook remix is sucks beeter ubuntu 10.10 [05:59] hossanpass [05:59] Susanna, did you upgrade using the Update Manager? [06:00] is there a way in the 10.10 install to just use free space? the option seems to be missing [06:00] gantrixx: in the first place yes, but ran into heaps of space issues [06:00] I didn't run into any space issues [06:00] I propose an easy apt-get upgrade [06:00] bjp, just click the install along side option. believe it was there as a button [06:00] guys im having a huge problem === Flames is now known as [DL]Flames [06:01] i just installed KDE over my ubuntu, to make it Kubuntu, everythings working fine except it can't connect to my internet for some reason [06:01] wow, this is really starting to look like a hardware problem [06:01] gantrixx: Ok, I found out that when playing with the Themes I get the windows title bar back [06:01] RP46: huh.... [06:01] though strange it showed up exactly as i did a 10.10 upgrade [06:01] i have wireless and my gnome ubuntu connects to it easily, but my kubuntu finds and asks me for password for my wireless, but it asked me some weird stuff about a k-wallet or something and i kept cancelling it, now it can't use internet [06:01] now the kernel is just wedging up at random spots in boot, even in recovery [06:01] gantrixx: I see more that what you see [06:01] Susanna, I have nothing to play with [06:01] hi I have an problem with dual screen on my laptop. compiz won't work with it. anyone might have a suggestion [06:01] gantrixx: can you start a console? [06:01] RRU_Sciguy: and like, now it sees and asks me for password for my wireless, i select and enter it, but internet isnt' working [06:01] just a mouse pointer [06:01] rp64 ~ kubuntu stores the wifi pass in a kwallet [06:02] RP64: just save your password in the K-wallet [06:02] rp64 ~ tell it yes and let it store it and it will allow the connection [06:02] RP64: k-wallet is the equivalent of gnome-keyring I think, it stores your passwords [06:02] gantrixx: try ctrl+alt+F1 or F2 [06:02] deryl: well now it doesn't ask me for a kwallet [06:02] i disabled the k-wallet [06:02] RP64: it's just an application that stores the passwords. [06:02] how do I re-enable it? [06:02] gantrixx: you see a console? [06:02] anyone has a problem doing a ping with network tools? (though ping works fine via terminal) [06:02] also, when it was asking me, it was asking me for a password to OPEN my k-walet, and I didnt even set it up before [06:02] Susanna, nope, doesn't work [06:02] 10.04 is quite different [06:02] the dev's did a great job [06:03] RP64: you set it on the first time it opens. [06:03] help guys this is bad!! it was asking me for a password to open my k-wallet, but I never set up a k-wallet before so I disabled the k-wallet [06:03] so i upgraded my laptop to maverick and now i can't get into X. looks like my nvidia drivers are broken. should I try an older version? [06:03] Joe so what should I do? [06:03] listen to joemavericksett [06:03] i have a quadro fx 880, [06:03] 880m [06:03] gantrixx: well mate, than I'm sorry. You could try to boot it in safe-mode?! [06:03] JoeMaverickSett: wat should I do man? now my k-wallet's disabled do you know how to re-enable it [06:03] RP64, you'll need to re-enable kwallet, and I think it's your default admin password [06:03] Susanna, I can login to the GNOME desktop just fine [06:03] RP64: just log off and back in and do those steps agian. [06:03] Pr3nt1c3: do you know how [06:03] I use gnome [06:03] i guess no one does, so i'm the one with the "unpingable" network tools [06:04] JoeMaverickSett: i have and it doesn't ask anymore cus i disabled teh k-wallet [06:04] RP64: try typing K-wallet in the search bar? [06:04] How can I check which version of Ubuntu I'm running? Also, do I have to do anything in particular to go from 10.10 Beta to 10.10 official? [06:04] gantrixx: just as a test, from inside gnome, run "mutter --replace" [06:04] telslsb_release -a [06:04] err teslatony lsb_release -a [06:04] RP64: i don't use KDE but it enabled it when i tried it so, there was no issue like yours. [06:04] !final | TeslaTony [06:04] TeslaTony: 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. [06:04] what is mutter? [06:04] JoeMaverickSett: thx!!! [06:04] it says it's not currently installed [06:05] JoeMaverickSett: now how do I set its password? [06:05] gantrixx: that's weird cause mutter is unity's window manager... [06:05] ok, after reinstalling everything is perfect [06:05] well that could be the problem [06:05] JoeMaverickSett: it asks me for my wallet password, and I enter my login but it doesn't work [06:05] not sure what the problem was [06:05] RP64: just type what you want it to set it. it's the mai password that will store all other passwords, so i'd go with your admin password. [06:05] what's the "best" way to disable swap completly? just remove the entry from/etc/fstab? [06:05] bit confused by ubuntus software raid txt installer. I have Four 1.5TB drives. I wish to make a Raid5. It's asking me how many drives to make active and how many to make spare but keeps giving me a red flag. [06:05] thanks for talking me through it guys :-)( [06:05] frooh ~ ati or nvidea card? [06:05] gantrixx: sudo apt-get installl mutter [06:05] man update-dlocatedb: "update-dlocatedb generates a plain text package contents listing dlocate from the files /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list ." I do not understand this sentence: What does update-dlocatedb generate? [06:06] deryl, rww : Thanks. That helps immensely [06:06] glebihan: Ah, that could be my issue as well, thought it is metacity [06:06] teslatony ~ yep [06:06] RP64: oh? how's that possible? I wouldn't know.. [06:06] RP64: try #kubuntu [06:06] gp5st: yes. You can then use swapoff to deactivate the swap without restarting. [06:06] Susanna: let me know if it solves you issue [06:06] JoeMaverickSett: how do I connect to my wireless? its weird it sees the wireless and is "activating" on it but it doesnt work [06:06] That worked great Nate :) [06:06] deryl: ati [06:06] Thanks again [06:06] and to the rest of you guys [06:07] ok peeps how do i configure my hibernation on karamic? [06:07] i cant find any info [06:07] glebihan: Will do [06:07] RP64: try #kubuntu that's the best you got for kubuntu. [06:07] deryl: though I haven't installed the proprietary drivers [06:07] deryl: it seems to work fine without them for now, so I may skip it for a while [06:07] frooh ~ awesome. that was my big worry. that the ATI card would again cause a proble,m had that with 10.04 installer [06:07] cool, thanks rww [06:07] frooh ~ yeah til you try to play movies or something [06:07] WORKS NOW NVM! THX EVERYONE! [06:07] deryl: eh, this laptop is pretty underpowered [06:08] deryl: I don't do that kind of stuff on it [06:08] ahh === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [06:08] well, my burn just finished so.. off to install 10.10 (again) [06:08] deryl: just edit perl and browse the web :-) [06:08] RP64: you got it? [06:08] frooh ~ hehe [06:08] ok i'm off [06:08] glebihan: Wait a sec. What if I don't want unity? I heard that it needs hardware acceleration [06:09] Susanna: well, UNE uses unity, if you don't want unity, you're probably looking for UDE [06:09] OK, I installed mutter. Now I get a "No required driver detected for unity" error [06:10] glebihan: Ah, ok, I thought there is an alternative. Btw. mutter was not installed on netbook [06:10] hi folks, looks like there have been some install issues with asus netbook architecture, anyone know if there's a workaround yet? I'm looking forward to trying out maverick... [06:10] !details | poena [06:10] poena: 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 ..." [06:10] hey everybody! Anybody know a workaround for the empathy-gtalk invisibility problem? [06:10] ok hang on, let me re-state [06:10] croto: Using irssi with bitlbee. [06:10] (hey, valid workaround!) [06:11] or finch/pidgin [06:11] ok.... I was afraid I had to change the default chat software [06:11] will it integrate with ubuntu as well as empathy? [06:11] glebihan, gantrixx : Ok, I see the windows title bar again. That is a progress. [06:12] glebihan: Do you know how to get the panel bar as well? [06:12] glebihan: disappeared after the update [06:14] Susanna: I'm looking, I don't know what's the panel app for unity [06:14] where can i download libstdc++5? http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libstdc++5/download isn't working [06:15] Susanna: gnome-panel [06:15] oh wait now it is [06:15] other thing...i use windows for my ipod in ubuntu not works..it's really bad [06:15] infid: have you tried the synaptic package manager? [06:15] !panels [06:15] and to restore it to default [06:15] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:15] xangua: I tried to reconfigure this one already. Nothing :( [06:15] Im back [06:15] denisubuntu: what does not work? i also do have an ipod it works well. [06:16] xangua: does unity use gnome-panel ? [06:16] gparted isnt letting me resize the partition, im on a live cd right now [06:16] glebihan: yes [06:16] allen_: what is it saying [06:16] allen_: unmount your swap partition [06:16] hey yall! [06:16] anyone know how to remove the email icon from system tray and still keep volume icon? [06:17] Susanna: did you try starting gnome-panel ? [06:17] hello, how can I get the wireless card to work in a hp mini 1000? [06:17] is unmount "swapoff"? [06:17] allen_: yes [06:17] !details | danes_ [06:17] danes_: 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 ..." [06:17] yeah [06:17] glebihan, ubottu: I could let it appear by starting it out of the terminal [06:17] ok, that works [06:17] of course it get closed as soon as the terminal is closed [06:18] I'll try to reboot [06:18] danes_: yoou got some errors or.. you tried first? [06:18] Susanna: ok let me know [06:18] I have a problem with [installing 10.10], currently running [10.04 but is irrelevant as I'm not getting to the install point]. When I try to install I get one of two errors depending upon what I use to build the USB flash install. It hangs at "SYSLINUX 3.86 2010-04-01 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al" [06:18] now, will I want to resize the extended partition, or the partition within the extended one? [06:18] I am having problems with my wireless card on ubuntu 10.04 for netbooks on a HP mini 1000. It is not working and the LED is lighting up orange, as if it were off. Pressing the button does nothing... [06:18] allen_: the one within the extended one [06:18] theres another error i get if i use a different usb flash build, hang on its going to take me a sec to give you exactly what it says. netbook is an asus 900A [06:18] i don't know my ipod not work in rhythmbox now [06:19] you guys know how to remove the email icon from trya without removing the volume icon as well? [06:19] poena: i think you should format the usb and make the start up disk again? [06:20] if anyone can help me please let me know [06:20] i've tried using two separate programs to create the flash, i get two separate errors and have tried multiple times on each. I've even tried re-downloading the iso to no avail. [06:20] kk, it's partitioning it/Thanks [06:20] the problem of linux is programs [06:20] PhrostyB: you can remove it and run "gnome-volume-control-applet" instead (add this to your startup apps) [06:20] poena: what errors did you get? please state it, so that others can also help out. [06:20] startup apps huh [06:21] PhrostyB: System->Preferences->Startup applications [06:21] hi [06:21] :D [06:21] man update-dlocatedb: "update-dlocatedb generates a plain text package contents listing dlocate from the files /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list ." I do not understand this sentence: What does update-dlocatedb generate? [06:21] i kinda wish i still had the linux mint menu :\ [06:21] I never liked the mint menu :/ It was to bulky [06:21] poena: if your error it too long, past it in http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:21] ok thanks glebihan [06:21] glebihan, ubottu : Ok, reboot the computer, but panel is still not there. Where do I need to add it. Startup applications? Can't imagine that this is the usual way? [06:21] OK hang on, give me a second I will post the errors [06:22] hey guys, I'm having trouble getting my raid array to mount after reinstalling. I get a cryptic error message saying that not enough components are available. Anyone know what I can do? [06:22] Susanna: well this should work, but you're right, this is not the normal way [06:22] Susanna: btw, ubottu is a bot ;) [06:22] how to increase resolution on OKULAR? [06:22] linux need itunes! [06:23] lol no that is the last thing linux needs [06:23] Susanna: well as a matter of fact, it may be the normal way with unity... [06:23] itunes = garbage [06:23] glebihan: 'btw, ubottu is a bot' OH [06:23] denisubuntu: you could try Banshee or Rhythmbox before saying that. :) [06:23] denisubuntu: you can try Rythmbox and Banshee [06:23] Ohai Joe [06:23] denisubuntu: rhythmbox is a lot itunes-alike [06:23] itunes is beeter [06:24] glebihan: Well that I'll do that. Thanks a lot for your help! [06:24] Susanna: you're welcome [06:24] denisubuntu: you tried Rythmbox? [06:24] itunes is awful [06:24] how you're using itunes and linux is kind of mind-boggling [06:24] or looking to [06:25] denisubuntu: in stead of saying that give rhythmbox and banshee a go, you will like it. ;) [06:25] hey glebihan i just took a look at gnome volume applet and the indicator applet.. they're a little bit different :] [06:25] mohan yes i don't like exaile ,banshee and rythmbox [06:25] denisubuntu: plus, if you fill like an application is missing some feature, you can always make a feature request to the development team [06:26] did you notice that? [06:26] :] [06:26] denisubuntu: Strange. you don't like the appearance or the whole application? [06:26] PhrostyB: you're right, they're different, but I don't think you can just remove the mail applet from indicator [06:26] * Mohan_chml is a big fan of Rythmbox compared to itunes [06:27] yes i see [06:27] rhythmbox could get a better GUI, imo [06:27] that's kinda lame.. i don't want a mail indicator... :[ [06:27] glebihan, and wait for 6-10 years for it to be implemented [06:27] *Q* How do I access grub2 on boot? Is it Esc? [06:27] i think i might go back to linux mint once mint 10 is released === croppa_ is now known as croppa [06:28] Lint01: this depends on the app, I myself do some development and feature requests sometimes get implemented in a few weeks [06:28] PhrostyB: try removing indicator-me [06:28] greezmunkey: yes and any reason for loading grub? [06:28] or indicator-messages maybe, don't remember [06:28] removing indicator-me? [06:28] how do i go about that? [06:28] sudo apt-get remove [06:28] Does anyone have issues with 10.10 and dual monitors? [06:28] greezmunkey: no it's shift [06:28] ohhhh [06:28] Mohan_chml: Loading Lucid into a virtual PC in WIn7 ultimate - just playing with it...

[06:31] Mohan_chml: it said "no root file system defined" [06:31] zacstone: any errors? and is it 10.10 ? [06:31] zacstone: how couldn't you install ubuntu? [06:31] I'm on a separate laptop to build the USB [06:31] JoeMaverickSett: yes 10.10 [06:31] JoeMaverickSett: on windows 7 [06:31] well, that settles it. there's some sort of incompatibility between this box and 10.10 [06:31] PhrostyB: what don't you see ? synaptic ? [06:31] geist: with what exactly? [06:31] wont boot from the 10.10 cdrom, still boots 10.04 fine [06:31] zacstone: in your installing had you set up any partition as "/" which is ext3 or 4 ?? [06:31] yea [06:31] synaptic [06:31] geist: have you checked the cd [06:32] i don't think it came with ubuntu 10-10 [06:32] glebihan: vi like editing there I take it?? [06:32] is "/" a label name or what? [06:32] histo: well, the full story is i did a network update from 10.04 [06:32] I have 3 gb as swap [06:32] after upgrade to 10.10 my touchpad does not work. what has been changed in X11 or udev/fdi things from 10.04 to 10.10? [06:32] and it's been super flaky ever since [06:32] and my ext3 is at "/" [06:32] zacstone: root filesystem = "/" [06:32] just tried booting from the 10.10 cd and i get the same flakyness [06:32] how do id get this?

Ive got the usb partitioned as ext4 filesystem [06:32] greezmunkey: what do you mean ? [06:32] but 10.04 cd boots and runs fine, so it's not likely it's a hardware failure [06:32] PhrostyB: did you try installing it ? [06:33] if anyone's ever solved the issue of torrents causing wifi to drop connection DM me or something. Super frustrating. [06:33] worked great in 10.04 :/ [06:33] glebihan: I was wrong, editing in grub seems to be more like nano... [06:33] what's the package I can find pppd in? I need it for dialing in when I'm sitting in terminal only [06:33] zacstone: when you are in the installation step, you have to format the partition to ext3 and then there will be option to set / or /hom, /boot etc, [06:33] the fkalyness is that sometime between 0 and infinity into the boot it wedges, where the average time is around a minute [06:33] zacstone: you have to select / in that [06:33] yea i did alt f2 and pasted it [06:33] but nothing [06:33] there is no / [06:34] Also, tried w/ unetbootin - same error.

[06:35] runs 10.04 fine [06:35] I did a aptitude search pppd and pulled up 2 packages, ipppd and something else, but ipppd seems to be for isdn, I just need it for a "dialup" style line [06:35] geist: thats just odd then. Hard to say without looking at some logs [06:36] ah heh. 10.10 just booted like a champ with the old kernel [06:36] poena: hhmm, seems like i don't know why that happens. :( [06:36] rebooting, going to try a few times [06:36] (mobile broadband via wvdial) [06:36] PhrostyB: btw the menu item is probably just hidden, right-click on menu, select "Edit menus" and go to System->Administation, you should find synaptic there and be able to enable the menu item [06:36] aw i was kind of hoping you or someone would :( [06:36] zacstone: the error is that / is not defined and I had not installed maverick yet. so I am looking for screenshots [06:36] ahhh!!! [06:36] i didn't know [06:36] zacstone: give me a minute [06:36] very odd bc 10.04 installed like a breeze [06:36] rabidweezle: I think it's in ipppd package [06:37] poena: just be patient and ask the question, somone more skilled than me would help you out :) [06:37] Mohan_chml: okay [06:37] thanks glebihan ... apparently there's a lot of little quirks in ubuntu i'm not used to (i'm a long time linux mint user... few years now) [06:37] glebihan: I'll give it a shot, thanks [06:37] zacstone: is the advanced partition tools display the partition setup ? [06:37] i will stick around and chat :) [06:37] oh i wanted to ask [06:37] does 10.10 have window transparency? [06:37] poena: that's the spirit. :) [06:37] histo: yeah, .32 kernel seems to be totally stable here... goign to try noapic on the new kernel [06:38] it's a relatively 'big' box. server chipset, 16 cpus, multiple ioapics [06:38] could be pushing something in the kernel [06:38] Mohan_chml: i got nothing, i go straight to that mount and i cannot mount anything but dev/sda [06:38] geist: yah I'd play with the acpi settings [06:38] Mohan_chml: maybe i'm missing something? [06:38] i've tried rythmbox and itunes..my results is that itunes is better ,fast transf [06:38] PhrostyB: yeah it takes some time getting used to a new desktop environment [06:39] Mohan_chml: i'm staring at GParted program and wonder whats I'm missing :/ [06:39] zacstone: are you in the Live CD now? and installing side by side?

[06:40] allen_: i asked it already [06:40] zacstone: Okay the issue is that the / is not set (if you had installed the previous versions, you would have known how to set it) and the advanced partitioning tool will help [06:40] except it has two panels instead of one.. but i'm planning on condensing it down to one i think [06:40] but I see pppd in there so, I think it's cool [06:40] thanks [06:40] sorry i see it now, i couldnt see it for a sec [06:40] ganeshran: ive never had it actually work [06:40] PhrostyB: well yes, but it's still a different panel and menu structure [06:40] no sweat [06:40] yeah [06:40] * rabidweezle gets out of X to test [06:40] the mint menu is a lot nicer i think.. have you seen the new one gleb?

[07:03] you're first against the wall when skynet goes live [07:03] bbl, gonna go back to the raid boxen [07:03] haha [07:03] that was so nerdy geist [07:03] all my base are belong to skynet [07:03] or was it nerdy that I got it? [07:04] need help! please :) pressed ctrl + alt + f5 during a full screen game. then rebooted from terminal. upon reboot, my panels dont work [07:04] I was wondering why nautilus would give a filetype as 'unknow' while the terminal command 'file' is able to give the file type, in this case it's a video file [07:04] mrandrzejak: tried alt+f2 > gnome-panel > enter ¿ [07:04] mdadm assume i made a partition of type "fd" on each device i'm including? [07:04] alt f2 doesnt work [07:05] im getting two error messages [07:05] bytesaber: yeah [07:05] control+alt+T mrandrzejak [07:05] ctrl alt t works [07:05] im getting two error messages [07:05] PhrostyB: I may have a solution, lemme test something, I'll get back to you [07:05] ok [07:05] "the panel encountered a problem while loading" [07:05] hey glebihan i think i found a solution to the two panel problem [07:06] bytesaber: well, actually i dont think the kernel cares what the partition type is. it scans at boot for all members of a raid and assembles it for you [07:06] but it makes sense to put them on a 0xfd partition [07:06] until i figure out how to use mint tools in ubuntu... you can add custom gnome menu... which only has the icon and no text [07:06] ok [07:06] it's a condensed version of the menu [07:06] "OAFIID:gnome-applet-ectrayApplet" [07:06] then move everything else to the bottom [07:06] !panels [07:06] mrandrzejak: no idea, try then to restore it [07:06] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:06] also /proc/mdstat is your friend. you can see what the current status is at any time [07:06] also... "OAFIID:gnome-applet-ecmenuApplet" [07:07] !webmin [07:07] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [07:07] geist, four discs, all same size. if desiring a raid5 is that 3 active 1 spare? 4 active 0 spare? [07:07] glebihan, i uninstalled the update-manager, and the package is not on my repositories, getting a 404 but if try to change the repository i get the same error as the update-manager haha [07:07] !ebox [07:07] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [07:07] 4 active 0 spare [07:07] geist, am i corret to assume 4 active 0 space allows 1 fail, just no convient automatic spares avail and gives me maximum space? [07:07] bytesaber: a spare is a standby, kicks in when one of the other one fails [07:07] correct [07:07] k [07:08] piece o cake [07:08] hi everyone. i have intel 5150 wimax/wifi adapter. in windows i had a program from my wimax provider (yota) that allowed to switch between wimax and wifi mode. how can i do this in ubuntu? [07:08] i have a 4 piece raid5 here too, works great [07:08] Hello, On google chrome I use to be able to type in youtube in the url bar and then press TAB and I could search from within the url. Anyone know when this was removed from google chrome? If not where can I ask this question? [07:08] geist, do any booting with it? [07:08] if you mess with the write-intent bitmap though, i'd recommend setting a relatively large chunk size. the default chunk size really clobbers write performance [07:08] Ubuntu is missing installation files from /lib apparently... I md5'd my ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition and used the suggested utility to install ubuntu on it (8gb drive) and I cant boot off of it or install through widows (or even install the cd boot helper)because installation files are missing. [07:08] bytesaber: on this server i have 6 disks. 2 disks are raid1 with lvm and root/var/home/etc on it [07:09] the other 4 are a raid5 with a lvm on it [07:09] chilli0, probably the chrome forums.. but i think the feature is still there... check the faqs [07:09] geist, i don't think performance is a big must here. it's just a movie file server [07:09] di3gopa: you don't have update-manager in the repos ??? could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file ? [07:09] i think grub can now boot from a raid5, but haven't tried that yet [07:09] geist, ah lvm. why the lvm ontop of the raid? [07:09] cause it's very handy [07:09] i always lvm on top of whatever array [07:09] guess i dunno what a lvm's are really all about [07:10] think of it as a really fancy partitioner [07:10] where you can resize, delete, create new ones, etc without moving any of the others around [07:10] extra things to get your finger tips onto for moving stuff around? [07:10] LVM <3 [07:10] i downloaded the xubuntu-wallpapers and my ubuntu appearance wallpaper tab isnt picking them up [07:10] bytesaber: sure. also you can move volumes around between disks [07:10] nifty [07:10] i did that a few days ago. pvmove ftw [07:10] glebihan, i do have the update-manager, but it is not found on the server i am using: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511442/ [07:11] it's handy. pvadd new disk to existing lvm vggroup. pvmove, remove the old drive from the vggroup [07:11] and you can do it live, pretty dope [07:12] anyone........

[07:27] di3gopa: use sudo [07:27] Quick question. Regarding root login. It's disabled by default. At one point I enabled it, but realizing it's insecure, I disabled it by using "passwd -l root", which seems to work, I SSH'd for root, and entering nothing doesn't work, and entering anything in the world doesn't work. My question is, does passwd -l ACTUALLY disable passworded logins for a user, and is it secure, seeing as I used it for the root user. [07:27] gledihan u tried freebsd? [07:27] bb [07:28] hi everyone, wireless stopped working in ubuntu, the icon went off the notification area how can i get it back?

[07:36] poena: downloading twice does not make any difference, you need to check md5sums to be sure. [07:36] how long is the lts for? [07:36] bluefrog: well must depend on "I don't know what", mine are in ~/.tomboy === rajesh is now known as Guest76645 [07:36] isnt it like 4 years [07:36] yes i did check [07:37] i_is_broke: 3 years for desktop edition, 5 for server [07:37] hello? [07:37] just not work to get it started? [07:37] and what about sys config? where is it stored?

[07:37] [good i figured that saving synaptic marks saved me a lot :) ] [07:37] poena: the other trick is, does your computer have BIOS settings? There are some settings which may be important to make a difference [07:37] glebihan: and the difference is? [07:37] glebihan, they have changed places since one or 2 ubuntu version [07:37] Yup i can edit the BIOS [07:37] what should I tinker with [07:37] gledihan and gento:) 0 years [07:37] Sandking: system configuration files are unfortunately stored in a lot of places, most of which under /etc [07:37] pooltable: try opening docky through the terminal [07:37] poena: also, does your flash storage have a partitioning or is it just the block device?

[07:39] i cant handle typing that much..lol [07:39] bluefrog: weird, I have exactly the same files in both folders... [07:39] if there is only /dev/sda, then you must write over the device with a msdos disklabel and partition [07:39] i_is_broke: you're welcome [07:39] glebihan server is single for experts [07:40] Eh, not really. It's for people who want CLI only. [07:40] No expert level knowledge required. :-) [07:40] denisubuntu: or not for the lazy.lmfao [07:40] Sandking: google search around for 'duplicity' is a great program to make backups with Ubuntu [07:40] i edited my /etc/default/grub file and want to get it back to normal. does anyone know how to do this? [07:40] there's a tutorial how to make a backup and restore [07:40] lucent im not sure I understand. Under win7 i format and use a USB boot builder (FUSB and pendrivelinux) to build it [07:40] it should just be the single partition [07:41] My wireless card, which has worked fine since 9.04, appears to be having trouble in 10.10... sometimes it doesn't see my home network It's an Atheros AR5001 card. What could have changed from Lucid to Maverick to actually break support for a wireless card? [07:41] poena: oh, well... I'm confused also. [07:41] meh [07:41] :( [07:41] "no partition" means you're using it as a single block device containing a filesystem [07:41] hi. i have a major problem using Ubuntu on my laptop with legacy ATI Radeon x1200 graphics chipset. Within 10 minutes of using the desktop (even without desktop effects set to None) the screen becomes completely garbled and requires a restart. Does anyone here have a solution? [07:41] without = with* [07:41] poena: lucent: wont it be much easier not to use a sd card but a USB [07:41] glebihan, not weird. a copy of the files have been made for consistency [07:41] lucent: thx [07:42] does anyone know how to get music i bought from unbuntu one? [07:42] drivers ati solution [07:42] bluefrog: the weird thing is that both keep getting updated [07:42] it won't download in rythmbox [07:42] hmm ok let me try this [07:42] denis? are you talking to me? [07:42] i've been building using the SD card slot in my laptop [07:42] i have a USB adapter for SD card [07:42] rhett_: I think it shows up in your "cloud" storage, so it would be accessed from Nautilus file manager (-the- file manager) [07:42] will using that make a difference, or could it? [07:42] yes gregory [07:42] For some reason I cannot find the libmodplug02c package in maverick. It is neither in 32bit or 64bit. I spoke with someone using the same platform but ch instead of us sources and he was able to see the package [07:42] pooltable: how is your docky now [07:42] also http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/250726 says it should be there [07:43] all i see is libmodplug1 not libmodplug0c2 [07:43] qkumbers: which Ubuntu? [07:43] glebihan, because you come from an old version. if you do a fresh install they will be only in one place .loca/share [07:43] can u please elaborate on what is the ati driver solution? I am using a legacy card - Radeon x1200 [07:43] anyway bye guys [07:43] hi guys.. [07:43] lucent: 10.10 [07:43] lucent, how do I add ubuntu one in nautilus? [07:43] my USB is not working..

[07:43] bluefrog: you must be right, haven't done a fresh install since intrepid [07:43] woohoo! 10.10 desktop amd64 dvd worked perfectly [07:44] the only difference i can see is that he was using the desktop and i'm using minimal install [07:44] rhett_: I think it's integrated as part of Ubuntu 10.10; don't you have Ubuntu 10.10? [07:44] but our sources were identical besides ch versus us [07:44] glebihan, I figured that out [07:44] no :( [07:44] rubydiamond: usually in 'dmesg' command output there is a note about USB [07:44] 10.04 i think === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [07:44] rhett_: if you are willing, upgrade to 10.10 and then I think this will work much better for you [07:45] is basic gregory u search drives ati in autor page [07:45] bahhh [07:45] i just want the album i just bought :( [07:45] i will upgrade later [07:45] does anyone have as solution to the Radeon x1200 screen corruption issue without desktop effects on and using stock ubuntu 10.10?

My laptop is 1 year old and runs fine on other MS OS [07:56] odd, someone else said it did and i'm getting nothing either. this is nuts cause it's supposed to be there http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/250726 [07:56] is there a way to extract a .png or something of a panel to use in another theme [07:57] denisubuntu ~ tough. run what you want, I'll run what I want, they'll run what they want. end of story [07:57] qkumbers: however, there is libmodplug1 [07:57] probably [07:57] meaning use the "new wave" panel color for a different theme [07:57] bastidrazor, aaaah yes :D [07:57] sorry [07:57] leling: i even tried disableing desktop effects.. no difference [07:57] * goodboy [07:57] krambiorix: heh, we all learn bit by bit.

Can i zip the files or wouldn't that be safe [07:59] leling: no become corrupt. patches of white start to spread on the entire desktop... covering whatever is on screen [07:59] deryl is a opinion.. [07:59] krambiorix: the ".gz" at the end of the file name means it's already compressed. [07:59] can someone tell me why everyone recommends gmplayer? how exactly is it better than the default Movie Player included with Ubuntu (and yes i accepted the third party codecs and stuff at install)? [07:59] i can switch to console .. i.e without X and everything is fine. i get back .. garbled [07:59] yeah but maybe i can compress the whole directory again?

[08:00] Jordan_U * [08:00] !best | sanduz2 [08:00] sanduz2: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. === SKAN is now known as SKAN^wc [08:01] Gregory:It means that Console was useable,And the X was unuseable? [08:01] I installed 10.10. Everything was fine under 10.04. I now have problems with my mouse not being able to click. Are others having this issue? Are there any solutions? [08:01] any particular reason why an archive will show a file as 56.6 mb when it's only 2mb? [08:01] yea but i asked what you recommend since you dont seem to agree with recommending mplayer, Jordan_U [08:01] leling: yes [08:01] looking for a PC-Engine / TurboGrafx-16 emulator [08:01] is there a way to extract a .png or something of a panel to use in another theme meaning take the panel background or "new wave" and create my own custom theme [08:01] i'd also like to control my bootup.. got an hp netbook and it flickers like 5 times before it gets to login screen [08:02] goltoof_, try BootUp Manager package [08:02] hello there folks, wondering if someone might provide some insight into a frustrating problem I'm having with Nautilus [08:02] i mean StartUp Manager [08:02] hello i got a question - friend of mine was installing ubuntu 10.04, and he had choose wrong install option and overwirted all of his data - is there any tool to recover it?

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 ..." [08:03] krambiorix: "photorec" may be able to recover some of it, but don't expect it all to be recoverable. [08:03] guys I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. I'm using "top" and it says TERM is not set. I manually export TERM=linux and it works? why it happens? [08:03] !country mirrors [08:03] leling: I have tested with firefox window. not tried opening nautalis [08:03] where can i get a list of ubuntu country mirrors?

[08:04] leling: even closing all apps does not make desktop clear [08:04] specifically, when selecting "Sharing Options" in Nautilus and attempting to share a folder, Nautilus segfaults with nautilus[1309]: segfault at 3c00000 ip 04381e39 sp bf86a668 error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so[4311000+157000].

[08:04] gregory is better thunar is fast [08:04] is there a way to extract a .png or something of a panel to use in another theme meaning take the panel background or "new wave" and create my own custom theme [08:05] 10.10 is interesting. in a "man" command, after pressing "q" man still appears instead of previous lines of the shell.. how can I fix it? [08:05] will 10.10 ever have support for nvidia legacy devices? [08:05] it all got broken with 10.10 upgrade! [08:05] ubottu, get all that? [08:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:05] leling: I have everything on stock. and since my graphics chipset is old .. it is serviced by the open source radeon driver [08:05] nice, nobody cares. [08:05] hoare: What terminal emulator are you using? [08:05] Jordan_U: using guake with bash. [08:05] !patience | hoare [08:05] hoare: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com [08:05] leling: ubuntu does not list anything in the proprietary driver applet [08:06] terminal emulator xfce terminal is the best [08:06] hoare: are you sure you're using less? [08:06] Morning all, wheres the coffee? [08:06] hoare: See if you can reproduce the problem with gnome-terminal / xterm. [08:06] I can provide pastes of any commands you like, or any information you might need...I'm just curious as to what causes this. And it's quite frustrating as all I'm trying to do is share a folder [08:06] tensorpudding: I was using 10.04 and when pressing "q" in man screen, it was disappearing, now it just creates a new prompt line below and man screen still appears [08:06] I have a Cisco VPN which, as soon as I connect, routes all my network connection to it. Given I know its IP address range, submask, etc. how can I change the routes on Network Manager so it routes only what I want? [08:07] goodnight pure English spoken [08:07] * glebihan sends a cup of coffee to dizzie [08:07] Jordan_U: reproduces [08:07] do you have to have the kernel on the hard disk at all times for ubuntu to run properly, or do you just need it attached to the system when it's starting up and shutting down?

[08:08] Jordan_U: xterm [08:08] hoare: when you have man open, there should be a highlighted line at the bottom [08:08] let me reword that [08:08] you can't make a site tursted [08:08] so that it opens x terminal [08:08] Hello [08:08] Once again, it's a bug in Nautilus that causes it to segfault when dealing with Samba shares. Haven't found a bug filed for it yet [08:08] tensorpudding: manual page ls (1) [08:08] Gregory:Sorry,I think I couldn't help you [08:08] the site itself decides if its tursted or non-tursted [08:08] do you have to have /boot on the hard disk at all times for ubuntu to run properly, or do you just need it attached to the system when it's starting up and shutting down? [08:08] I'd like to try the new ubuntu version, Synaptic doesn't notify me about the new release though. Is there anything I need to do? === lonix^bnc is now known as lonix [08:08] what laptop shoudl I get and put a ssd in to get as close as possible to an instant on ubuntu? [08:09] for samba shared is better nautilus [08:09] strange things happened on upgrade. :( [08:09] hoare: okay, that is odd then [08:09] Gregory:It is very strange [08:09] znh: Use System > Administration > Update Manger, not Synaptic. [08:09] momentum i dont think you're going to get that close [08:09] leling: i know and it makes ubuntu unusable [08:09] is there a way to extract a .png or something of a panel to use in another theme meaning take the panel background or "new wave" and create my own custom theme [08:09] hi... a little help please ... I have a problem when configuring autologin in ubuntu alternate 10.04.1 ... install in console mode ... and after reviewing a manual install mingetty ... and the next step is to edit the tty1 file that would have to be in /etc/event.d/ ... but not found folder /etc/event.d/ and obviously noy found file tty1 [08:09] poena, good question. from what I understand it only needs to be present at boot. in fact some people like to place their boot partition on removable media like thumb drives, especially if they have encrypted hard drives [08:09] "instant-on" is an OS essentially built into the CMOS [08:09] So java uses 711mb mem, even after i closed the webpage 1 hour ago :S [08:09] leling: or rather X unusable [08:10] ok then how to allow active x terminal active or not to block [08:10] znh: and make sure that you undo the setting for long term at the bottom [08:10] sup everyone === SKAN^wc is now known as SKAN [08:10] there was another vim package, other than default one... what was its name? it was better and was not inserting letters on arrow keys? [08:10] do you have to have /boot on the hard disk at all times for ubuntu to run properly, or do you just need it attached to the system when it's starting up and shutting down? [08:10] er, sorry about that, meant to answer thter [08:10] Gregory:Maybe you can change another X [08:10] heh ok i was confused and re-reading my own chat [08:10] i got a question? when will ubuntu 10.10 be available to upgrade if your on 10.4 like example: sudo apt-get upgrade [08:11] thter: Only when you're starting up or upgrading packages, though it's probably best to keep it always mounted unless you have a compelling reason not to. [08:11] dizzie java use much memory is a suicide :) [08:11] !upgrade [08:11] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [08:11] MattLinux: try update-manager -d [08:11] MattLinux, try sudo update-manager -d [08:11] MattLinux: Maverick is available now [08:11] i_is_broke: -d is not needed now that it's released [08:11] !gksudo | dizzie [08:11] dizzie: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [08:12] anyone with any insight into my nautilus segfault? [08:12] Jordan_U, what kind of compelling reasons? [08:12] Jordan_U: it might if he hasnt unchecked the lts thing [08:12] Jordan_U, i prefer using bash, but thanks :) [08:12] dizzie: And it's not required to run update-manager as root anyway (it will ask for your password when needed). [08:12] Jordan_U, thanks, that did the trick [08:12] leling: what do u mean change X? [08:12] missed my old terminal [08:12] :/ [08:12] heh i tried this 2 hours ago and nothing lol must of put it up sometime today [08:12] dizzie: Read the factoid from ubottu, and please don't recommend sudo with graphical apps again. [08:12] znh: You're welcome. [08:13] Jordan_U, point taken :) [08:13] btw when I do not manually write export TERM=linux, it says WARNING: terminal is not fully functional. [08:13] any ideas? [08:13] thter: I have no idea, what compelled you to ask the question in the first place? :) [08:13] Jordan_U: i have learn't that the hard way [08:13] ok. upgraded to 10.10... seems fine, then hangs on a coloured sxreen [08:13] learnt* [08:13] Gregory:I mean you can change another desktop environment [08:14] leling: but that would mean loosing my current X with all the apps? [08:14] leling: every 20 mins or so? [08:14] possibly on waiting for x server [08:14] leling: i even tried KDE. same problem [08:14] thter, as I was saying, one compelling reason might be if you have an encrypted filesystem (/, /home, swap, etc) and want to keep your disk completely encrypted (as /boot has to be unencrypted). So you might put your /boot on a removable ironkey to be extra safe [08:14] mednafen how to get it to work? [08:14] how fast can one get ubuntu light to boot up with ssd drives? [08:14] Gregory:Oh,sorry,can't help you [08:15] why is my refresh stuck at 60hz? [08:15] i have 120hz acer lcd monitor! [08:15] leling: ty. you were better than the other guy atleast [08:15] i have a line in my passwd file nicola:x:0:0::/root:/bin/sh , but i dont remember adding the user nicola. any ideas? [08:15] hugo how to get it to work? [08:15] Gregory:You're welcome [08:16] Anybody else have any ideas or do i just drop usung ubuntu? [08:16] overrider, that sounds awfully suspicious...does the user exist? try "who is nicola" === Kevin1a is now known as register [08:17] is there a support channel for maintainers of the open source radeon drivers? maybe they will acknowledge the problem? [08:17] does ubuntu netbook edition has access to the same apt-get packages as ubuntu desktop? [08:17] plasa.com 6667 [08:17] somebody would help me, tell me why my desktop won't go move than 60hz?? === register is now known as Guest5765 [08:17] momentum: Yes. [08:17] Jordan_U: okay; so it has a much faster bootup time; why would I want ubuntu desktop if i'm using a laptop? [08:17] iso download is like 20 or 40k/s .... quite slow ... === Guest5765 is now known as Kevin1a [08:18] is there anyway to configure mutter? [08:18] zacstone, I'm not really certain, but it sounds like your display didn't get detected correctly. What kind of video card do you have? [08:18] ass [08:18] momentum: Because the netbook interface is optimized for small screens and is somewhat awkward on a full resolution desktop. [08:18] stiltzkin: i have nvidia 9800GT [08:18] stiltzkin: and ACER 120hz LCD monitor [08:18] asss [08:19] Jordan_U: what if you just drop the interface and use fvwm or xmonad ? [08:19] zacstone, and do you have the appropriate hardware drivers installed for that card? [08:19] stiltzkin: i mean ASUS 120hz monitor, not ACER one [08:19] momentum: Then what' [08:19] stiltzkin: i think so.. [08:19] momentum: Then what's the point of installing Ubuntu Desktop or Netbook? [08:19] Jordan_U: instant on if you're using SSSD [08:19] stiltzkin: it said nvidia deriver version 260.19.06 [08:20] stiltzkin: is it too early one? [08:20] zacstone, go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers and make sure that the NVIDIA driver is listed [08:20] zacstone you want to burn the retinal... [08:20] momentum: The only difference between Ubuntu versions is the set of default apps, there is no special sauce in netbook remix to make it boot faster. [08:20] !minimal | momentum [08:20] momentum: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:20] momentum: wouldn't suspend do the same? you actually shutdown your laptop? [08:20] stiltzkin: there is no "hardware drivers" in there [08:20] bastidrazor: suspend failed on me once + fried a screen; me no trust suspend [08:20] stiltzkin: just addition drivers [08:21] Jordan_U; does the minimal cd include a partition editor like gparted? [08:21] zacstone, yeah that's the one. different versions have different names for it [08:21] momentum: suspend fried a monitor? that is impossible.. [08:21] Gregory: As part of the installer, yes. [08:21] stiltzkin: it said driver is actived and currently in use [08:22] stiltzkin: but why i'm stuck on 60hz? my old ubuntu install went 120hz just fine [08:22] bastidrazor: suspend, close laptop; put in backpack; suspend didn't relaly happen; machine overheats ... [08:22] cdrom-s and usb disks don't auto mount (and /dev looks strange) after upgrading to 10.10 with apt-get dist-upgrade (ad a do-release-upgrade failed once and failed to find a new release after it had changed sources.list to maverick) [08:22] momentum: sounds more like a user error not suspend issue. [08:22] ideas? udev related? apt-get --reinstall udev did not help at least. [08:22] zacstone, IIRC the issue is that Ubuntu's Display app doesn't know how to control the refresh rate on the binary blob NVIDIA driver, so you just have to change the setting in the NVIDIA config [08:23] bastidrazor: well, that never happened in osx; only in ubuntu [08:23] zacstone, for example, a related bug is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/92599 [08:23] stiltzkin: why why... [08:23] stiltzkin: it works perfect on me [08:23] guys? i basically have no computer after upfrading. help! [08:24] zacstone, do you have the nvidia-xconfig package installed? [08:24] Anyone know where 10.4 stores the data that was referenced by grub, so you know which kernel gets booted?? [08:24] momentum: most computers still have problems with suspend/hibernate. While some have been able to tweak Ubuntu to get it to work perfectly, many have not. I just flat-out don't use it. I'll lock screen, and the screen will go black, but suspend/hibernate? Not worth it. Just shut down. Ubuntu boots fast enough it doesn't really matter. [08:24] zacstone, you should [08:24] stiltzkin: getting it [08:25] kennethsime: how do you get ubuntu to boot so fast? for me it's ~20-30 seconds [08:25] !details | spork_boy [08:25] zacstone, it should have been installed when that driver got activated I think. But it's been over a year since I owned an NVIDIA card [08:25] spork_boy: 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 ..." [08:25] zacstone ubuntu you do for your health haha [08:25] momentum: are you running on a macbook? you mentioned OSX [08:25] !grub2 | LinSteveH [08:25] LinSteveH: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [08:25] momentum: buy a good motherboard and a decent SSD disk and boot is really enjoyable. [08:26] this is for a laptop [08:26] !udev [08:26] any modern computer will boot up ubuntu blazing fast [08:26] ok it really seems someone logged into my unpatched 10.4 machine somehow, and added a user called nicola with uid 0 [08:26] stiltzkin: i don't see it in software center, google? [08:26] 10.10. when i turn it on, i get a black screen. i expected it to continue working. [08:26] momentum: what version of ubuntu are you using, on what kind of laptop? [08:27] zacstone, open up a terminal window (applications -> accessories -> terminal) [08:27] kennethsime: ubuntnu 10.04; macbook pro [08:27] AbhiJitand & ubottu, tnx!! [08:27] overrider, check which connections are open to see where's the hole [08:27] stiltzkin: go ahead [08:27] momentum: are you using refit? [08:27] alguien en español [08:27] !es | carlossalazarven [08:27] carlossalazarven: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [08:28] kennethsime: yeah; what else would I use? [08:28] zacstone, type "apt-cache search nvidia-xconfig" (without quotes) and tell me what you get [08:28] momentum: are you running a hybrid mbr/guid partition table? [08:28] kennethsime: most likely; not certain; i used bootcamp to create a windows parittion; then installed linux on it [08:28] stiltzkin: i got nothing.. i copied and pasted [08:28] stiltzkin: pressed enter = nothing. [08:29] momentum: you may find this thread helpful. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9754161 [08:29] failsafe x works. [08:29] zacstone, ok I was afraid of that. what happens if you just type nvidia-xconfig and press enter [08:29] kennethsime: thanks for diggint it up [08:30] zacstone, ahhhhhh I see now, they changed the name of the package. Try typing nvidia-settings instead [08:30] stiltzkin: "Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default Screen". ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'. " [08:30] momentum: does refit take 20-30 seconds to show up, or are you talking about after you've selected Ubuntu, and started grub? [08:30] kennethsime: refit is slow [08:30] zacstone, oh that's not so good...means your xorg.conf is kinda shot [08:31] kennethsime: any last advice before I reboot into mac to bless refit ? [08:31] stiltzkin: oh, now what? [08:31] stiltzkin: what about install other older driver? [08:31] momentum: I'd bet it's not about it's not about what's blessed, I'd bet you have overlapping partition tables and need to remedy that [08:32] zacstone, well you need to do what's called a xorg reconfiguration...how old is your install? Might be faster to reinstall and try again [08:32] kennethsime: overlapping partition tables? that sounds bad [08:32] oh i just installed ubuntu 10.10 20 min ago [08:32] Hello [08:32] momentum: it's not as bad as it sounds. Read that thread, and if it sounds similar to the problem you have, then what worked for me will probably work for you [08:32] stiltzkin: now its on dual boot with windows 7 [08:33] momentum: it is a common problem when people use bootcamp and follow that tutorial on how to dual-boot ubuntu on macbooks [08:33] zacstone, ok. well in that case how did you get to this particular point? You installed, then I assume enabled the latest NVIDIA driver, and then what [08:33] then went straight to setting to turn it up to 120hz and 1080p [08:34] zacstone, what did you get when you tried nvidia-settings [08:34] does anyone do anything special to make grub prettier? Does anyone skip grub? Is there a way to change the resolution of Grub so it's not so distorted? Cleaner? [08:34] i think i'm gonna go back to linux mint debian edition soon :D [08:34] kennethsime: I don't think I have that problem: [08:34] yea there's a way to change grub resolution [08:34] /dev/sda1 1 26 204819+ ee GPT [08:34] /dev/sda2 * 26 30426 244187136 af HFS / HFS+ [08:34] /dev/sda3 30426 31642 9765625+ 83 Linux [08:34] check google [08:34] momentum: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:34] it opes up [08:34] /dev/sda4 31642 32857 9765625+ 83 Linux [08:34] stiltzkin: it pops up nvidia x server settings [08:35] I have a question, I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my 4GB flash drive, enjoy having it on the flash drive and do not wish to install it to a computer. I would rather have the mobility of having it installed on a flash drive, is there any way to make that menu at the beginning that's asking me if I want to try or install go away? It takes so long after I click try every time [08:35] zacstone, oh ok well at least that works. try changing your refresh rate there instead [08:35] momentum: nope, that looks pretty darn good. have you done the "refit partition tool"? It syncs the MBR & GUID partitions. without this, refit may still be slow. [08:35] stiltzkin: well i changed refresh rates and it still stuck at 60 [08:36] zacstone, but it lets you change them in the NVIDIA app to whatever you want? [08:36] yes. [08:36] On Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10, where are the configuration for number of... workspace (? "espaces de travail", don't know translation) ? [08:36] kennethsime: use burg .. [08:36] zacstone, and you're sure it's actually at 60Hz? [08:36] stiltzkin: i know when it is in 120hz mode.. [08:36] stiltzkin: i checked my monitor info setting it said its still at 60hz [08:36] SaRy: burg? googling... [08:37] You'll find it on omg ubuntu [08:37] stiltzkin: it even realized my monitor too [08:37] i'm using ubuntu. when i open kget , it does not appear in the panel and only run in memory. how to make it appear in the panel or make it gui appear in desktop? [08:37] zacstone, alright. then at this point I'd reinstall and try selecting the older driver instead. Might be a bug with the latest version. Somehow your xorg.conf got screwed up which probably isn't helping things. Before you reinstall you can try to reconfigure it with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and following the steps [08:38] hi i am back [08:38] stiltzkin: i'll brb [08:39] zacstone, the key to getting proprietary video cards working on Ubuntu is doing it immediately after install. Eliminates a lot of other variables [08:39] mam problem z instalacją ze źródła. jest tu może ktoś kto by móogł pomóc? [08:39] zacstone: So let me guess? [08:39] debora: What?

[08:40] zacstone: let me try to fix your problem? [08:40] sunny1, you mean to show the sound applet, or to control sound on the commandline [08:40] kennethsime: Grub animated , or burg animated theme .. Something like that as I remember. [08:40] stiltzkin: Sound applet [08:40] pksadiq: i'm rolling drivers back, or you have better suggest? [08:40] !pl | debora [08:40] debora: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego.

I thought it was indicator-applet but apparently not. It doesn't show up in the Add to Panel box? [08:41] who has macbook? [08:42] apple are artists [08:42] zacstone: Do what you are doing and come back if errors [08:42] I accidentally uninstalled the default theme in maverick what is the package called so I can re-install it? [08:42] sunny1, keep in mind it is called "Indicator Applet" in the selection box now, and not "Volume Control," which might be confusing [08:42] stiltzkin: Yea oddly not, had trouble in 10.04, upgraded today still have trouble [08:42] Any way to reset ubuntu without a ubuntu cd but with access to the partition (ext2fsd, nothing appears though)? [08:42] Giles: ambience [08:43] stiltzkin: That's it..Thanks! [08:43] hi to add an entry in mycomputer for a mounted drive [08:43] sunny1, np. they should have been clearer about what that does [08:43] rctgamer3: You're going to need to explain the exact situation you're in. [08:43] TomRIOT: E: Unable to locate package ambience [08:44] stiltzkin: Def. so, can't believe I didn't have it enabled for months [08:44] Giles: just a sec [08:44] Giles: light-themes [08:44] alright I've been here an hour or so...anyone wanna take a shot at my problem with nautilus? I'll give any and all details necessary [08:44] pksadiq: i don't see older drivers anymore [08:45] I tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, but halfway through it stopped (hung) and i had to power off, tried to boot ubuntu again, then i got Console: Switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 in recovery mode, normal mode stays black. [08:45] Giles: though if you removed that, you also removed ubuntu-artwork and ubuntu-desktop, and I'd recommend installing one of those instead. [08:45] rww ta [08:45] where can I associate a hostname with IP address like the hosts in windows? [08:45] what is the command to use to reinstall a package or fix installation error of a package? [08:45] zacstone: and so You need Nvidia drivers isn't it? [08:45] dumont: I think /etc/hosts [08:45] dumont: /etc/hosts, same format as the hosts file in Windows (they copied it from UNIX ;) [08:45] dumont, the hosts file in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts [08:45] thx [08:46] got it [08:46] also anyone know what is wrong with this: [08:46] warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 45636 package 'virtualbox-3.0': [08:46] error in Version string '3.0.12-54655_Ubuntu_karmic': invalid character in revision number [08:46] zacstone: Can't you install nvidia-current? [08:46] stiltzkin: Filing a bug report may be the fastest way to figure out what's going wrong. [08:46] stiltzkin: what problem with nautilus [08:46] pksadiq: that will change my resolution to 120hz refresh [08:46] I'm not able to sync my tomboy notes atm, even when i login to ubuntu one web and look at notes tab says something has gone wrong, this is a new maverick install, anybody know what might be going on ? [08:46] Giles: you have Virtualbox installed, I take it? [08:46] zacstone: Do you know to use terminal well? [08:46] Jordan_U, considering, but figured asking here first was a good idea. notsonew: it segfaults when opening the "Sharing Options" pane [08:47] pksadiq: i'm not too familiar in this area [08:47] pksadiq: i can follow you, i used to msdos too :/ [08:47] notsonew, the traceback is (if helpful): nautilus[1309]: segfault at 3c00000 ip 04381e39 sp bf86a668 error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so[4311000+157000] [08:47] rww: yes, although I had these errors while upgrading to maverick, and it disabled the virtualbox source [08:47] zacstone: k, don't care , install nvidia-current and delete the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:47] hi there...can anyone tell me a good gmail notifier that will sit in the MeMenu? [08:48] Giles: "3.0.12-54655_Ubuntu_karmic" isn't a correctly-formatted version string for a Debian package. Whoever maintains that source made a mistake, basically. [08:48] pksadiq: which to do first install or delte? [08:48] pksadiq: delete [08:48] first install [08:48] notsonew, and I'm running 10.10, 2.6.35-22, all latest packages installed [08:48] Giles: Enter cp -R /usr/share/themes/Ambiance ~/.themes/ [08:48] pkay [08:48] rww: I have since put a maverick source in there [08:48] zacstone: first install, then delete, [08:48] mikebeecham: gm-notify, https://launchpad.net/gm-notify [08:49] pksadiq: brb restart [08:49] k [08:49] zacstone: k [08:49] :/ alright I guess I'll file a bug report. Kinda frustrated I can't just share one folder without something crashing [08:49] rww: how can I get rid of that reference in available and status?

[08:51] rww, yup [08:51] Giles: change the underscores to something else in the file it mentions. Not the best solution, but it works. [08:51] zacstone: wait [08:51] mikebeecham: install the gm-notify package, it's in Ubuntu's repositories now. [08:51] pksadiq: yeah [08:52] rww: cheers [08:52] and there was another one I tried to download, but got this message: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-feedparser [08:52] ok [08:52] Hi, what should I fill in in ccsm for window decoration to get the gtk window borders?

[08:59] guys.. Hi.. my USB harddrive is not getting detected ... [08:59] pksadiq: found vbox :P but not the other app [08:59] zacstone_: in terminal type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [08:59] when I do lsusb .. it shows up there [09:00] pksadiq: done...

[09:00] and not showing up on sudo fdisk -l === uLinux is now known as list [09:00] zacstone_: now open terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings === list is now known as uLinux [09:00] uLinux: what's going on? === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [09:01] pksadiq: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.

[09:04] There's no such thing as a download accelerator. [09:04] yep [09:04] AshyIsMe: gwget [09:05] uLinux: GOT RIGHT? [09:05] mikebeecham: Open Software Sources; click the "Other Software" tab, uncheck the gm-notify-maintainers PPA line, click the "Ubuntu Software" tab, make sure "Community-maintained Open Source software (universe)" is checked. Click "Close", update the package cache if it asks you to. Open Synaptic Package Manager, search for "gm-notify", right-click, click Mark for Installation, click Mark, click Apply, click Apply. [09:05] tonyyarusso: I mean some programs like multiget use 10 connections so it can "speed up" the download speed [09:05] lucent: can you invite me in private chat .. don't know how to do that with weechat [09:05] AshyIsMe: The only way a download can be "accellerated" is by hitting an already overloaded server with more load, and taking more than your fair share of that server's bandwidth from other users. [09:05] pksadiq: okay i'm back.. [09:06] Jordan_U, yeah, exactly like what windows users do [09:06] pksadiq: it loads up fine, not funny like last time.. should i go ahead change refresh rates now? [09:06] zacstone: k, now in terminal type sudo nvidia-settings [09:06] the site doesnt offer a torrent link so i want to max out my connection another way [09:06] pksadiq: okay [09:06] unbuntu10.10 so cool.....:) [09:06] AshyIsMe: Firefox + DownThemAll addon === AbhiJit_ is now known as AbhiJit [09:07] pksadiq: it looks good. loaded up the nvidia x server [09:07] Hey [09:07] AshyIsMe: Why do you consider your time more valuable than that of others trying to download from the same server? [09:07] 173.14.28 [09:07] Jordan_U, offer me a torrent link and i'll gladly share my bandwidth with other users [09:07] I have a question about upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.10 [09:07] offer me only a http download and i'll max my connection using an accelerator [09:07] EagleYS, ask [09:08] zacstone: now select X server Display Configuration, and change resolution === root is now known as Guest29911 [09:08] okay [09:08] Jordan_U: possibly it is just a site that is deliberately reducing upstream or even worse: his ISP reducing downstream per ip connection. [09:08] If I upgrade using the update manager, will it only install to that partition? [09:08] pksadiq: doing that [09:08] AshyIsMe: That doesn't answer my question :) [09:08] Or take up the whole hard drive? [09:08] I have the Ubuntu system files on one partition, my docs on another, Windows and the recovery drive on another 2 [09:08] EagleYS: If you upgrade with update manager, it'll only touch your existing Ubuntu partition(s). [09:08] Alright [09:08] Thanks :D [09:08] EagleYS: so the first partition you just mentioned. [09:08] EagleYS, will install to where your current '/' i.e. root partition is [09:08] ok [09:08] zacstone: click apply, if it works, then save, else wait a while,it will be restored [09:09] Jordan_U, my point is that i dont agree with your analogy [09:09] i download the same amount of data, just quicker [09:09] pksadiq: still 60hz at 120hz refresh rate setting [09:09] pksadiq: siiigh [09:09] using 10 peoples amount of connections but for 1/10th of the time [09:09] AshyIsMe: I am not making an analogy, I am asking a question which is directly applicable to your situation. [09:09] plus most windows users would already be using accelerators anyway [09:09] Any way to reset ubuntu without a ubuntu cd (no empty cd's) but with access to the partition (ext2fsd, nothing appears though)? I tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, but halfway through it stopped (hung) and i had to power off, tried to boot ubuntu again, then i got Console: Switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 in recovery mode, normal mode stays black. [09:10] zacstone: actually the 120 Mhz is vertical only, select auto that's better [09:10] so there's no benefit from me refraining from them [09:10] pksadiq: still 60hz on auto too! [09:11] zacstone: so what's the problem with 120 mHz? [09:11] pksadiq: more msooth mouse movement and better smooth 3d gamign [09:11] pksadiq: smooth [09:11] also there are premium services such as rapidshare which support download accelerators being used with their servers [09:12] so what's a good linux accelator for those services? [09:12] nm though, i just got flashgot in firefox :) [09:12] pksadiq: 60hz is too old for me.. i have LCD monitor that can do 120hz and 1920x1080p [09:12] zacstone: SELECT OPENGL settings [09:12] alright I'm going to go upgrade, see ya guys [09:12] And thanks again [09:12] is there a PDF to calc convertor/extractor for linux ? please reply me [09:12] pksadiq: yeah... [09:12] AshyIsMe: Rapidshare knows enough about how to manage a server to be able to throttle on a per ip basis, "support" of download accelerators is just marketing hype. [09:13] pksadiq: allow flipping off? [09:13] Jordan_U: Next time you want to have an ideological discussion, please ask to take it to #ubuntu-offtopic. [09:13] zacstone: select image to high [09:13] is there a PDF to calc convertor/extractor for linux ? please reply me [09:14] pksadiq: okay [09:14] rww: Sorry. [09:14] pksadiq: its high now [09:14] pksadiq: "high quality" [09:14] zacstone: also in X server Display Configuration select Xscreen and see whether you can increase Color Depth [09:15] is there a PDF to calc convertor/extractor for linux ? please reply me [09:16] zacstone: anyway if you need to try, it's not recommenced, select Advanced in X server Display Configuration [09:16] I've just switched my adsl router for a new gigabit one, I have 2 pcs one with windows 7 other with 10.10 maverick and a htpc running xbmc on top of a minimal 10.4 lucid. The 2 pcs are fine all internet speeds are correct, but for some reason my htpc is running at snail pace when using aptitude, or wget things like that. So hopefully some can give me some networking troubleshooting tips for 10.4 headless cos im a bit of noob in that a [09:16] zacstone: recommended8 [09:16] zacstone: recommended* [09:16] pksadiq: if you play a game at 100fps with 100hz or more is really good [09:17] pksadiq: i use 120hz because its what monitor supports at 1080p for 120hz [09:17] uLinux: I mean that may cause X problems [09:17] pksadiq: it works fine on last ubuntu [09:18] zacstone: select advanced and type your-resolution_refresh-rate [09:21] pksadiq: i typed in 1920x1080_120 then what?

[09:24] zacstone: in the Screen section see weather _120 is available [09:25] There should be some way, because Ubuntu knows which packages to autoremove [09:25] did anyone try adding repositories manually in ubuntu 10.10? if for example i try to add the virtualbox repos i get an error [09:25] hello there [09:25] Does anybody knows how to fetch list of user-installed packages on system without autoinstalled?

[09:29] Volodymyr: You want to view the packages on your system?

[09:30] hi guys. We have a problem with 10.10. I added a ne user, but when he logs on, sometimes his theme works, sometimes it doesn't. the windows have the correct theme in their titlebar, but gnome panel and all other items are using the 'base' theme [09:30] pksadiq: put in "1920x1080_120" is that corect command? [09:30] zacstone: , no, wait [09:30] nanite , I want to list packages I installed by myself without packages installed by dependecies [09:30] pksadiq: right now its Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080 +0+0" === jayashankar is now known as jaya [09:31] zacstone: close that gedit and open sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:31] very simple task. But in Ubuntu I couldn't find a way to solve it [09:31] Volodymyr: Oh, I see. I believe there is some way to view that within the Synaptic Package manager. Hold on, let me see if there is a way. [09:32] Volodymyr: It is simple yes. [09:32] still " Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080 +0+0"" [09:33] Volodymyr: Okay, try viewing the history within the manager. [09:33] zacstone: wait, there is an easier way [09:33] I got it [09:33] pksadiq: yeah? [09:33] I already found a solution :) [09:33] Volodymyr: Please explain!! :) I like to learn.

[12:16] histo: any other ideas to get the window manager back up and running? [12:16] histo: any idea where or any keyword you remember? [12:17] RippleEffect: Ssytem > administration > Software sources. On the updates tab you need to change the bottom radio dial. [12:17] histo, so hypothetically speaking, I'd create a new account or log in as root or whatever, then try to access the lost home folder of the messed up account, then enter that code to access it? [12:17] ovrflw0x: as I said, if you want to remove all gnome components, "sudo apt-get remove gnome-*" [12:17] odb|fidel: I have no idea but it's in there somewhere i'm sure [12:17] histo: hehe ok [12:17] Brandon123456: correct [12:17] hello [12:17] what does * mean for gateway in netstat ? [12:17] erUSUL: sure, sending you my air kiss [12:17] Cybertinus: let me check something [12:17] glebihan: should i also add in && install xubuntu-desktop? [12:18] histo, it is no "only notify about available updates" [12:18] histo: ok [12:18] ubuntu: you are wellcome [12:18] ok histo, so a backup will fix my lost code xD, tyvm for helping :) [12:18] RippleEffect: the one about notifying about long term releases [12:18] can anyone tell mewhy my mic which was working in 10.04 is not working in 10.10, google was no help [12:19] how do i reset the grub config? [12:19] glebihan: ? [12:19] histo, ok I changed it to all releases. Now what? [12:19] ovrflw0x: you already installed it, right ? if so, no [12:19] Cybertinus: if visual effects is set to none then compiz should be off. [12:19] RippleEffect: now open update manager [12:19] glebihan: you told me xfce uses some gnome packages [12:19] hi guys I have some problems with the installation of wordpress on ubuntu 10.04 [12:19] histo, ah!! Thx [12:20] I do not seem to be able to re-direct /local/blogs to /usr/share/wordpress [12:20] ovrflw0x: well it *can* use some gnome components : they appear in recommended packages, but not in dependencies [12:20] I installed using the repository, and followed the instructions but only made a mess out of it [12:20] histo: true. And that is exactly what I want. But now I have a little to less effects. Effects like "being able to move a window" or "giving a window focus" are much appriciated here ;). And in order to do that, I must configure Gnome to run Metacity as its window manager. How to do that? [12:20] ct529: huh? You want the pages hosted out of /usr/share/wordpress? [12:21] Cybertinus: if effects are set to none then metacity is being used. [12:21] histo: yes .... that is where the package from the repository installs it [12:21] this microphone problem is hurting my heart [12:21] ct529: okay wordpress is a blogging content manager isn't it? [12:21] histo: and where the README.debian file recommends to keep them [12:21] !sound > zodono [12:21] zodono, please see my private message [12:21] histo: yes, normaly it is. But not in my case. I don't have any window manager atm. [12:21] histo: yes it is [12:22] ct529: the pages themself are not hosted in /usr/.... they are probably in /var/www/ [12:22] histo: nope they defnitively are in mysql + /usr/share/wordpress [12:22] Cybertinus: have you tried logging in as a different user? [12:23] Cybertinus: maybe an issue with something setting in yoru account. Or more specifically your gconf settings [12:23] histo: and that is what I wanted to do .... point /localhost/blogs to /usr/share/wordpress/ [12:23] glebihan: when i do remove gnome-* it tells me new packages of KDE will be installed! why? [12:23] ct529: what directions are you following [12:23] histo: no, I haven't tried that. I only have one user on that computer. I'm gonna create a second now and see what he gets. [12:23] histo: yes, i know to set the input and whatever and make sure it isnt muted// it was working on was working fine on 9.04, and still working after i upgraded to 10.04, and now at 10.10 it is broken [12:23] histo: the ones in README.debian that comes with the package === cs278|| is now known as cs278^kinslayer [12:24] ct529: can you pastebin the contents [12:24] !paste > ct529 [12:24] ct529, please see my private message [12:24] Hey. So since the netbook edition can now boot into the standard ubuntu (gnome) desktop are there any differences (besides having unity included) between the netbook and desktop editions? [12:24] jhesketh_: nope [12:25] histo: thanks... so why bother having a netbook edition and not just give users the option of interface when they boot up? [12:25] ovrflw0x: probably because some installed packages depend on either a package from gnome or one from kde; as you're forcing to uninstall gnome packages, it will install the depency from kde [12:25] glebihan: which one would be better? [12:25] dependency from kde or gnome? [12:26] ovrflw0x: either one should work just as fine [12:26] im trying to install ubuntu on one of my partitions, but its saying i dont have a / mount point. is there a way to change that without reformating it? [12:26] jhesketh_: so people with 7" screens have something usable. I believe unity is the only difference. [12:26] glebihan: is there command which leaves the dependecy alone and only remove 'extra' gnome stuff? [12:26] pibb: set that parttion as / [12:26] histo: fair enough. Cheers :-) [12:26] Hi. sometimes a package update creates .e.g /etc/init.d/.dpkg-new, why? [12:26] kjelle: its called divert [12:27] I'm using 10.10 with a system that has a Nuvoton IR receiver. It doesn't work, but Jarod Wilson has released a patch for 2.6.35 that includes a Nuvoton driver. Any ideas on where I begin applying it? Will I have to remove the Ubuntu-provided Lirc packages, then build it from scratch? [12:27] histo: I created a second user and that user also doesn't get a window manager. [12:27] histo: the installer doesnt let me [12:27] iceroot: hmm ok [12:27] how to install thees [12:27] Cybertinus: were you the one with the failed upgrade? [12:27] how to install themes using terminal [12:27] kjelle: have a look at "man dpkg" what divert means [12:27] Ankitg: depends on what the thems are for. [12:27] iceroot: hmm ok === mikau_ is now known as mikau [12:28] its for appearence === ketan_tada is now known as ketan [12:28] Ankitg: if you m ean its for 'gnome' you can extract them to the users .themes directory [12:28] Ankitg: its easier to just drag/drop them onto the appearance dialog box/settings window [12:29] histo: yeah, my upgrade has failed, but it would seam that I fixed it pretty good, up to this point. [12:29] what should be the command for that === noel is now known as Guest9978 [12:29] HellOlAloHallOhayo.. I HI.. SALUT bonjour guten tag good morning coucou ohayo saluté hasta siempre la victoria. [12:29] Ankitg: depends on how the theme is archived.. why are you not using the GUI to do it? [12:29] Cybertinus: make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:29] Cybertinus: thats just odd perhaps someone else may have more suggestions [12:29] Ankitg: cd .themes unp /path/to/theme.whatever [12:29] because its not working for every theme [12:30] ovrflw0x: I can't find such an option [12:30] also i want to command over terminal so using it as much as i can [12:30] Ankitg: then extract in ~/.themes [12:30] Ankitg: it could be you are missunderstanding themes vs 'theme parts' check the customize button. to see if what you are 'not working for' are showing up in there. [12:30] Ankitg: a 'widgit' theme is not a full theme set. its just a theme for the buttons and so forth. [12:30] okssssss [12:30] Ankitg: a metaciey theme is just a theme for the window outside decorations, and so forth [12:31] thats good to know thanks for telling me [12:31] icon themes = :) just for the icon sets... [12:31] histo: ubuntu-desktop is installed. apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade didn't have any packages for me. [12:31] how to get the full theme [12:31] the term 'theme' is way to broad. [12:31] exactly [12:31] Ankitg: depends on the exact theme.. not all theme files are full theme sets... [12:31] yes [12:31] mixx and match the parts as youy like.. save the 'settings' you got a theme. [12:31] but when i extract them and apply [12:31] they produce error [12:31] Cybertinus: Sometimes this installs more: `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^` [12:32] Cybertinus: dpkg-reconfigure -a [12:32] hello there i have a problem with the firewall!!! [12:32] ChogyDan: including the ^ at the end? === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [12:32] ya [12:32] hello? [12:33] Hiya, I recently bought an ssd. However due to ssd prices being extremely high I was only able to get a 60gb drive. This means my ubuntu partition is only about 8GB since my windows partition has to hold a load of games. I am going to run out of space eventually on this ubuntu partitionn so is there anyway I can make apps install on my main hdd once it fills up? [12:33] well, I'll explain my problem, (first, My english is very poor in vocabulary) [12:33] Dr_Willis, do you know where the server info is stored for openvpn? I use Witopia's VPN service and there is about 50 servers that I had to put in manually. I don't want to have set each one again when I do a clean install. I've been going nuts trying to find what folder/ files to copy [12:33] Hello, anyone know how to get a USB stick to install ubuntu or edubuntu? At start I have 2 boot up options in advanced [12:34] ChogyDan: it has 21 packages extra, but nothing to do with Gnome/metacity. But lets see what happens. [12:34] AceKing: i dont use vpn's so nope.

Most don't use a firewall [12:37] Sadlymistaken, normaly udev makes sure that one MAC address gets the same devicename with every boot [12:38] TiK, ok thanks [12:38] Sadlymistaken: are you refering to a wired or wireless network connection also... [12:38] Hello, I am maintaining pricate repository for Ubuntu updates for local use, its synched with archive.ubuntu.com, i am currently having 9.04,9.10,10.04 mirrored , as i am running out of space , i need to remove 9.04 repo, how to do so ?? [12:39] apt-mirror.list entry has been removed for 9.04 [12:39] Dr_Willis i am connected with MY wifi. So firewall sometimes need Eth01.... another times eth0.... (sorry my english is very poor in vocabulary) [12:39] But how to remvoe the already downloaded files specially from pool [12:39] ?? [12:39] Hmm.. my eth# never changes for my wireless.. My wired is eth0, wireless is eth1 [12:40] Sadlymistaken: if you mean you need to set it up for both a wired and wireless network.. well you need to configure your firewall to do it that way. I dont bother with a firewall in ubuntu. [12:40] I have disabled the splash in the first part of the bootup sequence. but a splash shows up a few seconds before Xorg is launched, how do i disable this too? [12:40] ChogyDan: the extra packages didn't make any difference. Still no window manager [12:40] judgen: theres the 'text' option to the kernel.. but that will make gdm not load also.. [12:40] Any help for Ubuntu repo ?? [12:40] judgen: disabling plymouth is a bit of a hassle [12:40] how can i access another system in the same network [12:40] Cybertinus: what do you mean no manager? [12:41] ganja: tried sudo ap-get clean ? [12:41] ganja: tried sudo apt-get clean ? [12:41] how to discoonect another sytem in the same network [12:41] no . [12:41] Ankitg: depends on what you mean access... ssh, scp. samba, nfs, telnet.. [12:41] ChogyDan: well, exactly as I say it. I don't have any window manager running atm. So: no title bars on screens, not being able to switch the focus, and so on. [12:41] okz. [12:41] ganja: how big is a repo? [12:41] its about 187 GB :( [12:42] ganja: you may have better luck in #ubuntu-mirrors [12:42] i have only 200 GB so have to remove old repos to make space for 10.10 [12:42] Hmm. I just use apt-cacher-ng to help my network get packages faster. I dont mirror a whole repo.. thats sort of hard to justify. [12:42] Dr_willis, ok.... Only one question more, if i turn out, and turn in again my Wifi router... it's change "eth01" to another "eth01_rename" or that is something IN my pc... not in the router? [12:42] thanx il try that [12:42] histo: running dpkg-reconfigure -a now [12:43] Cybertinus: have you tried commands like metacity --replace? [12:43] Sadlymistaken: that would seem odd.. Ive never seen that happen on my setup with a router. try just not using a firewall and see if it still changes. === cs278|| is now known as cs278 [12:43] Dr_Willis, the first part (the things you can set in grub2) works fine with just two commands to change. but i would prefer if that short splash after the boot would be gone too. [12:43] ChogyDan: yeah, then I get to see the window manager. But I would really like to see it without entering that command ;) [12:44] Dr_Willis... ok... thanks for reading me..... I need a firewall. [12:44] Bye Bye everybody!! [12:44] judgen: ive removed it with the text option, or i think theres some text 'theme' you can install for plymouth. but i havent bothered to look into it lately. [12:44] how to access desktop of a sytem within same network? [12:44] Cybertinus: are you running compiz? [12:44] Sadlymistaken: My router works as a firewall... so im not sure why you 'need' one.

It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [12:45] Why ? [12:45] histo: the dpgk-reconfigure -a had a few questions and reconfigured a few packages, but still no window manager [12:45] Cybertinus: no idea perhaps someone else may know more. [12:45] Ankitg, its called 'remote desktop viwer' you can try team viwer its easy [12:45] Aura: why what? you use the nick command like i showed.. simple enough. [12:46] Yes we can. [12:46] Dr_Willis, Can i no longer do "sudo aptitude install *foo" to install all foo packages? [12:46] which file are you editing when you edit setting in open-office? [12:46] Ankitg, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Vinagre [12:46] judgen: never tried it with aptitude.. it worked for apt-get for me earlier to day i recall. [12:46] Ankitg, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html [12:46] Who are We? [12:46] judgen: wouldent it be foo* ? [12:47] Aura, what? [12:47] judgen: or use tab completion, and cut/paste [12:47] Who is the ennemy ? [12:47] Dr_Willis, The problem is that all packages in this repo i am using ends with the repo name. and i want all of the packages on the repo.. [12:47] Aura, ubuntu support question? [12:47] histo: OK, thnx anyway :) [12:47] Aura, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:48] judgen: err.. aptitude and apt-get install stuff from the repos.. not files.. you sure you dont want 'sudo dpkg -i foo*' ? [12:48] judgen: it would be a weird repo that changes the normal package filenames. [12:48] Dr_Willis, I want them to download and install them all. [12:48] does anyone know how I can configure Gnome to use Metacity as the window manager? Currently it is set to nothing [12:49] I have virtual machines. [12:49] Aura, stop that [12:49] Cybertinus: you could install/run fusion-icon - its a tool to handle setting that and recovering from compiz/metacity crashes. [12:49] Cybertinus: but alt-f2 'metacity --replace' should do it for once also.. then you can disable compiz. [12:49] yum update Ychat [12:50] Aura, please chat elsewhere [12:50] hehe [12:50] hi [12:50] any commnad line way to disconnect a ip within network [12:50] Dr_Willis: alt+f2 doesn't do anything here. And I don't run Compiz. atm I don't run any window manager [12:50] Ankitg: ssh to the box, sudo ifconfig eth# down. [12:50] Cybertinus: click on the desktop first [12:51] then alt f2 [12:51] Cybertinus: what did you install then? what are you running now? how are you logging in? [12:51] opns up a run box [12:51] alt-f2 is specific to the gnome-panel(s) [12:52] I was thnking it was metacity... but ive never tried it with no panels :) [12:52] some other window managers support it also i recall. [12:52] Dr_Willis: I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, with the netbook remix interface. I'm logging in normally at gdm. And then I get the normal netbook interface, but when I start I program I don't have a titlebar or I can't change the focus. [12:52] ahh the netbook... [12:53] thats using somthing other then metacity i recall. [12:53] What is the matter here ? [12:53] I dident think the netbook interface used the titlebars.. everything was maxzmized. [12:53] During a distribution upgrade, I am running low on disk space on my /usr partition, but I have lots of free space on my /home partition, is not possible to tell it to use that for a while? [12:53] Dr_Willis: yeah I only know because I use Cairo-Dock; which happens to be ctrl-f2. Lol [12:54] Sorry. [12:54] :/ [12:54] Aura, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [12:54] i configure compiz and my netbook start behaving abnormaly..y? top and bottom tray was removed y? [12:54] svip: you need to use gparted and resize to give more space to /usr [12:54] Cybertinus: can you create a new launcher on the desktop; assuming you are in graphics mode? If so just have the launch gnome-panel [12:54] !panels | Ankitg [12:54] Ankitg: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:55] Ankitg: I think the netbook interface is not designed to work with compiz. But ive not really messed with the netbook interface in 10.10 yet. [12:55] Dr_Willis: yeah, the window manager should take care of automatically maximizing. But that is the problem :). I don't have a window manager ;). [12:55] The netbook interface is getting very different these days. [12:55] philinux: Not really possible during a distribution upgrade. [12:55] Hello friends! My friend upgraded from Lucid to Maverick via the suggested update-manager routine, it worked well. But then he said he tinkered with UBuntu Tweak to restore his sources.list and clean the packages. He rebooted, only to find out he cannot boot into Ubuntu anymore, but can boot into Windows. Would you say that's a mess up with grub? [12:55] I wish this process was more intelligent, and cleaned up as it went along. [12:55] Cybertinus: actually on the netbook interface i think 'maximus' w3as in chaarge of maxamizing the windows.. [12:56] Cybertinus: at leat the old netbook intface did it that way [12:56] svip: ah you in the middle of it [12:56] but when i removed compiz still it was not working.how to get it back [12:56] ##bmpg [12:56] hi [12:56] opst === bruno is now known as Guest35455 [12:57] Dr_Willis: ok. It is a upgrade from 10.04... [12:57] Ankitg: installing/removing compiz may of set the system default window manager to somthing else. which may of broke everything. [12:57] so what is the solution now [12:57] if i have to update a particular software then whta shoud i do [12:58] anyone mastering audio on ubuntu ? [12:58] Ankitg: you could go to the console and try reinstlling 'ubuntu-netbook' package. === jason is now known as Guest22576 [12:58] Ankitg: or some of the other netbook* related packages may fix it.

It appears like this http://i.imgur.com/4fdeP.png and is unusable. She tried "aptitude reinstall firefox" and that didn't solve the problem, neither did rebooting. [12:59] Dr_Willis: Hmm, gonna try installing ubuntu-netbook now, maybe it helps [13:00] qwd: reinstlling is 'windows thinking' as a test she could try 'firefox --safe-mode' from a terminal - see if that makes firefox behave. if it does.. then tis some firefox users setting. not a system setting issue [13:00] qwd: Did she install any extensions lately? [13:01] qwd: This might break Firefox [13:01] qwd: Especially beta extensions and unsupported ones [13:01] exit [13:01] qwd: you can try to launch firefow from a terminal, with the -profilemanager option & create a new profile to check if it is working [13:01] which channel for python programming? [13:01] wertino: #python oddly enough [13:01] thanks pici [13:02] anyone having problems with audio after upgrading to ubuntu 10.10 ? [13:02] why doesnt ubuntu include g++ by default? [13:02] Guest35455: Me not. [13:02] wertino: because its made to fit on a 700mb install cd... [13:02] wertino dunno, but easy to install [13:03] Dr_Willis, :D :D [13:03] then how do you do c++ programming on ubuntu [13:03] how to upgrade to 10.04 to 10.10 [13:03] wertino: you install the stuff you need after you install. [13:03] wertino: apt-get install g++ [13:03] Sorry if this is against channel policy, but I'll repost my question: My friend upgraded from Lucid to Maverick via the suggested update-manager routine, it worked well. But then he said he tinkered with UBuntu Tweak to restore his sources.list and clean the packages. He rebooted, only to find out he cannot boot into Ubuntu anymore, but can boot into Windows. Would you say that's a mess up with grub? === cs278|| is now known as cs278^kinslayer [13:03] wertino: Install the build-essential package to grab everything you need to compile. [13:03] canci__: is the grub menu missing? [13:03] but python and perl are installed by default then why not c++ [13:03] canci__: what error does he get when trying to boot into ubuntu? [13:03] wertino: disk space limitations.. [13:04] wertino: perl and python use less disk and are also used by several standard system tools. [13:04] wertino: and system config programs and scripts use python and perl.. not everyone needs c++ [13:04] luftikuss: my audio was working, but after the upgrade on my laptop, no audio on the speakers, only through headset or hdmi [13:04] Just a sec, I'll ask him now. he just came back from rebooting and trying to hold SHIFT :) [13:04] why not fortran! :) comal! emacs.

[13:50] willberg: the authentication for ftp will be different than for ssh [13:51] bofussing: I don't use ftp, just sftp - so tunnelled through ssh [13:51] Does someone knows what would be command for unp not to ask should it ovewrite the file or no?

[13:59] does anyone know how to skip fsck on boot? like a special key you need to hold or something? [14:00] willberg: bit stumped with your question. Seems that something must have changed, either environment or the ssh authentication mechanism [14:00] ae86-drifter, not off the top of my head but you could probably google it...i always thought they should move the fsck to when the system is shutting down after all when you shut it down your much less likely to stick around and wait for it [14:00] shauno , rusty149 : will it run unstable if installed with ext3 ? [14:00] Is there someone familiar with bash, I need assistance creating bash script. Basicaly it has to remove the dir with files and download new dir with other files. I've made it, but I would like to make a rule where it doesn't need to remove dir and files if newer dir and files are not on the server. Thx ppl.

[14:01] if I setup with user extended attributes [14:01] ubuntunewbie: it should run completely fine. You just won't get benefits of ext4 [14:01] and then add some attributes to my file, and then move that file to an NTFS partition [14:02] <^DEMOSS^> best of suck ? [14:02] and then move it back to an ext4 partition (w/ user extend attributes) [14:02] qlontz what exactly did you do? what did you set it to i assume you mean the vbox group?

I want to access my Win7 system from my Ubuntu laptop, but every time I try to connect it keeps asking for a password/username, but it never accepts anything I put in. It even asks for a username/password even if the directory is open to ANYBODY on the network. [14:55] Could someone please tell me what this means? My system wont boot: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /lib/init/rw ; mountall: mount /lib/init/rw terminated with exit status 1.

[14:58] @magnetron looking for simple input/output bytes for each protocol used on my box [14:59] foxjazz: if the wireless card works in linux then it will work in wireshark. catching wifi packets require other skills than the ones used for wired LAN though [14:59] @chogydan @iceroot this is what i get: http://pastebin.com/FFqDuqXG [14:59] Misterio: hey my jockey-gtk is not getting opened :) [14:59] I have no sound after upgrading to 10.10. lspci -v: http://paste.ubuntu.com/511670/ [14:59] cell0: oh, a network statistics collector?

Some websites have a PHP downloader which might confuse the browser/addon into thinking that it's an HTML file [15:01] foxjazz, are you using "gksudo wireshark"? [15:01] christf I've tried with several sites like rapidshare, megaupload etc [15:02] gaberlunzie: interrupted upgrade? what is the output of "sudo dpkg -l | grep -v ii" [15:02] root@coolroot:/var/lib/apt# mv lists lists.old <---i used this and i got error message mv: cannot stat 'lists' to 'lists.old' directory not empty why? i already type apt-get clean [15:02] any good network statistics collectors? suggestions please [15:02] Vok, it's very likely that this is the case.

[15:06] gaberlunzie: bad luck. [15:06] magnetron: hey tried installing and running fusion icon .. heres the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/511681/ [15:06] foxjazz, if you are using Win7 that obviously doesn't apply [15:06] Vok, My best guess is that it's because those websites are using a PHP method for download and the addons aren't used to it. I'm really not sure though. Perhaps you could contact the developers of downloadthemall. Sorry I couldn't be much help [15:06] Could someone please tell me what this means?

[15:07] Is it normal for rkhunter to run on its own in the background at various times when I am not the one who started it? [15:07] @stellarium tell me about it! it's like a bad abortion, lol ...... i hope ur not saying it's a catastrophic failure! [15:07] mine are on the right, not the left [15:08] but I want them on the left [15:08] tranqui, see the link (moving both directions is there) [15:08] tranqui: i imagine you would do something similar to what ubottu suggested [15:08] Vok: sometimes I would have to tell downthemall no to the first dialog, and the second dialog would be the real d/l [15:08] gaberlunzie: you are just there to setup the chroot [15:08] Vok, nah, I was actually going to get downloadthemall soon because I keep having my downloads interrupted >.<, sorry.

[16:18] How the heck do I switch chatrooms in IRSSI? [16:18] edit xorg.conf nor work with ubuntu 10.10 [16:18] got problems with wired LAN internet connection. Ubuntu cant connect to internet, but network manager shows that connected... [16:19] KillGuta: alt + number [16:19] usuario, define not working, you can not edit the file? [16:19] uLinux, just to be clear. "sudo modprobe [module]" would Load the module while "rmmod" or the "...-r" would Remove [16:19] preetam: Alright in the terminal, type "sudo service network-manager stop". This will stop the network manager service, so if you get disconnected from the ethernet, you will need to run "sudo service network-manager start" in order to connect again. [16:19] can [16:19] but do nothing [16:19] hi i've troubles with my ralink rt2800 under 10.10, it use to work great under 10.04 [16:19] i add 1280x960, but when use, say not soported [16:20] no torrent download available for 10.10 netbook iso? [16:20] the kernel gives me a realy strange output [16:20] erUSUL: any ideas concluded from the paste? [16:20] fcn, the netbook version is now the same as the desktop version i think. [16:20] !smjg [16:20] ZykoticK9_: yes [16:20] undecim the system gives message unknown instance [16:20] xbonesx: no; [16:20] @fcn, dunno... sounds like the obvious option but I was wondering if I could download straight from the site [16:20] foto [16:21] run ez publish with apache, postgresql - everything is fine - just if I browse the website the images are pixelated - as they are very low resolution - what is the problem ? [16:21] undecim unable to execute "sudo service network-manager stop" system gives message unknown instance [16:21] preetam: Did you accidentally run the command twice? [16:21] ubuntunoob: I'm doing that right now but my colleges connection slows me down... I tought torrent might be faster but... nvm. thanks. [16:21] no i have only run it once. [16:21] acu: are the images being stretched? [16:21] fcn: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso.torrent [16:21] thanks guys, think I'll go easypeasy instead. on windoze now... [16:22] How long should you wait before you see something after setting bios to read DVD or USB drive? [16:22] undecim i have run it once. [16:22] thanks undecim. [16:22] preetam: Maybe this whole time it's just the network manager hasn't been running. Run "sudo service network-manager start" and see if wifi works. [16:22] ZykoticK9_: my "problem" is that after loading the module lm-sensors show Core 0 and Core 1 but the temperature is always the same. it's not reading correctly [16:23] tensorpudding, no - they are just very low resolution [16:23] ZykoticK9_: so i wanted to remove [16:23] I'm assuming the novaterm, mounts it for say, so it should be considered a directory on my hdd wouldnt it? [16:23] Hey guys can anyone tell me how to guarantee the confirmation dialog for gnome-display-properties appears on-screen? I am trying to disable the second monitor but the confirmation dialog is nowhere to be found and other windows are barely on the edge of the screen. Then I click Apply and Close, but the screen goes back after 15 seconds because the confirmation dialog is nowhere to click on [16:23] undecim after sudo service network-manager start i got this message "network-manager start/running, process 2981" [16:24] preetam: Does wifi work? [16:24] Dr_Willis: hi again, ı check md5 on live cd, and it's corret. [16:24] tensorpudding, I think the images are streched - I just download the image and compare it with the one on site - they are streched [16:24] undecim no wifi is still not working. [16:24] * soreau just uses xrandr already [16:24] soreau: Lol, I was about to suggest that [16:24] tensorpudding, what is the problem ? [16:24] I figured gnome-display-properties would be smarter than this [16:24] uLinux, i don't really use lmsensors - do you know what the module's name is? does it show up in "lsmod"? [16:25] preetam: Okay, lets run the stop command again then. [16:25] No rendering method in use (AIGLX, Xgl or Nvidia) how do i enable that in 10.10 [16:25] Dr_Wllis:To rememeber , i get "I/O error on device sr0" at the end of installation. [16:25] preetam: You can press the up button to go back to it, btw [16:25] Dr_Willis:To rememeber , i get "I/O error on device sr0" at the end of installation. [16:25] undecim i observe one thing the /etc/modeprobe/intel-5300-iwlagn-disable11n.conf has following entry "options iwlagn 11n_disable=1" [16:26] *** Hi guys I upgraded 10.04->10.10. when I type "top" it says TERM environmental variable not set. However my vim package is resetupped so that it generates A,B,C.. chars when I press arrow keys. and when I :q from the vim, its window still appears on shell and it prompts at the bottom with you know user@pc:~$ etc. what is the solution? it is seen on xterm and bash. [16:26] hol a [16:26] hey, how come ubuntu can use the mount cmd but cant find the unmount cmd with live cd??

[16:26] tensorpudding, OK I found it - the browser was in a kind of zoom - so it was stretching everything - thanks for the hint [16:26] does any one know if there is an issue with rt2800 under 10.10 ? [16:26] undecim: I have a feeling using xrandr means display settings wont be saved across logins [16:26] gaberlunzie: Because the command is 'umount', not 'unmount; [16:27] ZykoticK9_: it's not in the list [16:27] undecim pls help. [16:27] soreau: You're probably right... [16:27] ZykoticK9_: maybe it's lm-sensors config file that keeps showing [16:27] uLinux, then it probably isn't loaded [16:27] preetam: One moment, I'm looking something up [16:27] Pici: ur right! thanx .... *blush* [16:27] ZykoticK9_: ok tks [16:28] is ps a mix betwen UnixIV and bcl ? [16:28] V [16:28] Is the binary for the network manager just "network-manager"? I'm using Wicd, so I can't check myself... [16:28] what is a simple network monitor? I have ~30 desktops that I want to monitor and ~10 servers. [16:28] Most are Ubuntu [16:28] mobius, netstat [16:28] undecim, nm-applet i believe [16:29] ZykoticK9_: No, I mean the daemon, not the client [16:29] undecim, iptables then [16:29] guys on ubuntu, when you run "top" and press q, does it still appear on your screen above the prompt line? or it gets disappeared? [16:29] younder: No, definitely not iptables [16:29] undecim: Yep I was right but I managed to get it to appear barely on screen and I grabbed it [16:29] what a pos [16:29] http://start.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9953890 it seems there are bugs in 10.10 [16:29] undecim, ? === Android001|busy is now known as Android001|afk [16:30] younder: maybe i should elaborate, something that is more like a wrapper around netstat and uptime/cpuload [16:30] younder: iptables is not the service that interfaces with nm-applet [16:30] mobius: ntop? [16:30] preetam: See if this command works: "sudo network-manager --no-daemon" [16:31] undecim, perhaps you should get the book Linux firewalls by Michael Rash on iptables PSAD and FWSNORT [16:31] undecim i got this message "sudo: network-manager: command not found" [16:31] undecim, it's nm-applet - the daemon as well [16:31] younder: I don't think you understand what I'm looking for [16:31] ZykoticK9_: really? That's weird [16:31] really sorry to bug you all about this but i dont want to type something in with out knowing what it mean it goes in "/etc/fstab" and its suppost to be for security "tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,ro 0 0" [16:32] undecim, that is correct [16:33] undecim, could you elaborate.. [16:33] how to open .bin files? [16:33] preetam: Okay, try "sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon" [16:33] jg47hm, bin for binary, or bin for cd-image? [16:33] preetam: capitalization is important [16:34] younder: I was looking for the name of the binary that interfaces with the nm-applet [16:34] SNMP seems to be what I am looking for [16:34] bin for binary [16:34] no it isn't [16:34] does anyone know what that command does? [16:34] jg47hm, for binaries "chmod +x FILENAME" then "./FILENAME" [16:34] terminal bell still not working, does somebody know a fix? [16:34] younder: I figured I'd just install it on my system, and found it is "NetworkManager" [16:34] i have a little problem [16:34] undecim yes the sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon the command ran [16:35] when I try to batch upload users in webmin with each line in the following format: create:ekamman:217030::1059:Eva Kamman:/home/ekamman:/bin/bash::::: I am getting an error that says Invalid expiry day on line... Why? [16:35] preetam: okay, was there any output from it?

[16:35] It wasn't exactly like that [16:35] Because I have Russian version [16:35] Guys, my video drivers crashed when I upgraded to 10.10 Q_Q [16:36] undecim, ah the you want lsof [16:36] undecim: but i want to try out ubuntu [16:36] I have nVidia 8400GS [16:36] preetam: Can you paste all the lines to http://paste.ubuntu.com and send me the link? [16:36] undecim, but you really should learn Perl [16:36] and i have too many partitions (this would take a long time partitioning them again) [16:36] y-pwn: If you want to try it out, you can just use the live cd. There is an option to try it without installing [16:36] can you explain me in more details because am amateur???? [16:36] if have ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, but installed a few things from PPAs (I think, not really sure), do I have to uninstall these if I want to upgrade to 10.10? [16:37] undecim: ok, then i'm removing wubi [16:37] does anyone know what "tmpfs /dec/shm tmpfs defaults,ro 0 0" in "/etc/fstab" does? [16:37] jg47hm, open a terminal for these commands. Do you know how to "cd" to where the file is located? [16:37] undecim please check the output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/511734/. [16:38] in downloads [16:38] jg47hm, in Downloads probably, case is important! [16:38] ZykoticK9_: for .bin files, can't we just right click make this as executeable and double click after that? [16:38] preetam: Has this problem persisted even after rebooting? [16:38] So, the error message is something like this in original: "Корневая файловая система не определена. Исправьте это из меню разметки." [16:38] hello! I'm using ubuntu 10.10 but I would like to use a RT-kernel with this. how do i do that? [16:38] JoeMaverickSett, YES!!! jg47hm see above [16:38] just to make sure it isn't a HD fault [16:38] tacomaster, Looks like it creates a tempspace in shared memory. I would leave it alone. :) === simar__ is now known as simar [16:39] jg47hm: right click on .bin file. mark it as executeable *it's at the bottom* then double click to open it. :) [16:39] undecim yes i rebooted the laptop a number of times since sunday i upgraded to 10.10 but still the problem persisted.

[16:55] do too many people ask you questions when your an op? [16:55] KillGuta: 2 ways to copy the link.. write it down and retype it :D ... or highlight it in one tty .. right mouse click "copy" if it's available or simply leave highlighted.. back to the irssi tty and right mouse click "paste" or middle click or right & left click at the same time [16:55] Hi all, is there a way to speed up the cloning (and zipping) of a partition using dd? I've read something about bs but I have no idea which value would be best [16:55] is there a chkdsk like util i can use now and then? [16:55] Does anyone know why when i boot 10.10 sometimes i dont get a bootscreen and just a flashing cursor before the GDM and sometimes it querys /dev/null before GDM?

[16:55] ah ok fair enough [16:55] huh :o [16:55] just wondered :) [16:55] Scunizi: I can't use the mouse xD [16:55] Android001: Also, to respond to your question, the / means the root directory and the -r means it will recurse into that directory, so the * is kind of redundant.

[16:56] and something like smart would handle the hard drive [16:56] ok, thanks [16:56] KillGuta: write it down then.. you might also want to learn "screen" or "byobu" (same thing).. it will allow you to split one tty with irssi on the top/bottom and cli access in the other half.. very useful [16:57] you shouldn't have to run fsck by hand unless things get broken [16:57] i downloaded a .tar.gz install file to install from source,how do i install it? [16:57] fsck is run automatically at boot when needed [16:57] Scunizi: http://pastebin.com/KknutMNV [16:57] ubottu: tell TheDeadCPU about msgthebot [16:57] TheDeadCPU, please see my private message [16:57] Does anyone know why when i boot 10.10 sometimes i dont get a bootscreen and just a flashing cursor before the GDM and sometimes it querys /dev/null before GDM?

I tried to upgrade my 10.4 and it failed, so I removed the parition and tried to start over but the live cd would always hang after the "user details" stage of the install [16:59] Scunizi: Problem is that there isn't any resolution, monitor goes out of range [16:59] does anyone know how to install from a .tar.gz file? [16:59] (I ended up installing a fresh 10.4 and upgrading that way) [16:59] Lenny|Work, yeah i had issues with the livecd, and the installer kept crashing [16:59] It's just black. [16:59] fsck /? [16:59] blackshell, extract the tar.gz then enter the directory and do ./configure then make, then make install. thats usually how it goes [16:59] KillGuta: is it a CRT or LCD? [16:59] hi, after upgrading to 9.04 (wanted to upgrade to 10.04 but was in 8.10) if i log-in as my usual user i see only a blank screen, nothing else, i have to log in as root in order to enter in my system. i think this is caused by the fact that i used to have "/" on a partition and "/home" on another partition of my hard drive. how do i solve that? modifying fstab from the root session, or how? in both cases im pretty much of a noob, plz help thank [16:59] you :) [16:59] LCD [16:59] hi. how can i find out which entry in the sources file profides a package? [16:59] @ rlinfati what do you want to install ? [16:59] I can't connect to freenode from my newly upgraded ubuntu box [16:59] but my 7.10 box works jut fine [16:59] when i did ./configure,it says no such file or directory [16:59] thats a shame isnt it [16:59] disabled ipv6 already [17:00] KillGuta: ok.. xrandr can set and fix resolution.. Is this a fresh install? [17:00] LordDragon:when i did ./configure,it says no such file or directory [17:00] can't telnet to 6667 from the new box... [17:00] Scunizi: No, it's an upgrade [17:00] blackshell: there's no common way to install source programs, you usually have to read the INSTALL file or directions on the website. This channel can't really help you there. [17:00] Scunizi: 10.04 to 10.10 === zz_rubydiamond is now known as rubydiamond [17:00] are there any known issues?

Just to repeat it to people that didnt see it [17:01] * lindsaymobil22 feels like he is spamming, repeating his question all the time [17:01] preetam: Or you can also go to Applications -> Internet -> Wicd Network Manager [17:01] KillGuta: ouch.. I hate doing that.. I've never had 100% success with an upgrade.. there always seems to be something that gets borked.. of course that could just be my system.. did you have the binary nvidia driver installed in 10.04? the one direct from nvidia? [17:01] Segaja whats the package? [17:01] wow [17:02] Scunizi: I got the one provided by Ubuntu [17:02] undecim yes yes i can access wicd [17:02] blackshell, you probably werent in the source directory then. you have to enter the source directory before running the ./configure [17:02] ok i need the parameters - guessing i just need to type in terminal - fsck -r ? [17:02] holy cow... this community... is not what I remember... you all have fun now... [17:02] yikes [17:02] What's the recommended size to install Ubuntu? [17:02] KillGuta: since the upgrade have you "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ? [17:02] JoeSomebody: don't guess, read the manpage if you don't know [17:02] i agree with andrew__ [17:02] at least 4gb? [17:02] preetam: Does the wireless work with wicd? [17:02] lindsaymobil22: ask every ten minutes or so, that's fine. you might also consider asking the question in a different way, providing more data, &cet. [17:03] sipior, i cant provide many more details than that [17:03] lindsaymobil22: then you're in trouble. [17:03] Im going to ask my question elsewhere [17:03] Scunizi: Doing it right now [17:03] iflema: libmp3lame-dev [17:03] ikonia i read and i am guessing i just need -r, mainly because i don't understand some of them [17:04] Scunizi: Yep, nothing changed. [17:04] JoeSomebody: what are you trying to do ? [17:04] Scunizi: Everything's up-to-date [17:04] KillGuta: ok.. don't forget the dist-upgrade.. that will upgrade packages.

[17:04] i can make a screenshot [17:04] y-pwn: Is there not an option to install side-by-side? [17:05] iflema: thanks [17:05] undecim, there is [17:05] what the hell happened to this channel??? Where are the adults? kickbans for questions? this is nuts [17:05] y-pwn: Use that then. [17:05] i come from windows gui-land and before that DOS, so i am familiar with chkdsk [17:05] it still wants all my harddrive [17:05] 2.6gb for maverick [17:05] y-pwn: Or setup your partitions manually if you know what you're doing [17:05] KillGuta: looking for something for you. [17:05] hi [17:06] Scunizi: Well, I think I'll install another distro. [17:06] i'm making a screenshot === Gabbire|AFK is now known as Gabbie === administrator is now known as Guest85711 [17:06] KillGuta: I recommend debian [17:06] KillGuta: Ubuntu seems to have taken the piss [17:06] linenoise: (n00b speaking) I heard Debian is for webservers and stuff [17:06] ikonia i come from windows gui-land and before that DOS, so i am familiar with chkdsk so i am looking for a chkdsk evuivalent, or whatever the best thing is, and the recommended sytntax to check the drive [17:06] linenoise: control your languag [17:06] language [17:06] y-pwn, are you looking to modify a partition?> [17:06] typically how long does it take after a release before the repos are setup so that a do-release-upgrade is available? [17:07] Anybody else having trouble hibernating/suspending in Maverick (when it worked in Lucid?) [17:07] JoeSomebody: why do you need to chkdisk ? [17:07] KillGuta: It's not. It's what ubuntu is based on. Except ubuntu crapped it all up with needless bells and whistles [17:07] JoeSomebody: linux shouldn't need a "chkdisk" for it's file systems [17:07] KillGuta: it's just that your monitor isn't providing the refresh rate correctly.. or it's not being read correctly. Is it hooked up with dvi/vga or what? [17:07] Because if that's the case, either go to synaptic and look for gparted or use terminal command sudo apt-get install gparted. [17:07] KillGuta: debian is more stable, cleaner, and you can still install all the extras if you want [17:07] i have a drive that may or may not be usable [17:07] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=257hjef&s=7 [17:07] so maybe i do [17:07] well, here you go [17:07] linenoise: stop please [17:07] JoeSomebody: what makes you think that ? [17:07] JoeSomebody: lets walk it through [17:07] ikonia: stop what? [17:07] join #imp [17:08] very strange isn't it? [17:08] linenoise: pushing debian for no good reason, he's asking for support with ubuntu, no recommend a different distro [17:08] I seriously haven't seen major differences between distros besides the software they come with, their installation method and the package thingies. [17:08] under xp it had bad sectors, i tried to make iot good again, it woudlnt FULLy zero [17:08] ikonia: Actually he just mentioned wanting a different distro [17:08] ikonia: perhaps you missed that? [17:08] linenoise, those "bells and whistles" are what make me like ubuntu in the first place. and if you hate ubuntu so much, why are you here? [17:08] so i put ubuntu, lost my xp [17:08] linenoise: because he can't get ubuntu to work [17:08] JoeSomebody: Isn't "fsck" the equivalent of chkdsk? I only caught a tiny part of your convo :-) [17:08] linenoise: talkbing about bells.. i cant get terminal bell to work [17:09] LordDragon: [17:09] !ot [17:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[17:09] Is there a reason my brightness settings don't stick after a reboot? [17:09] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=257hjef&s=7 [17:09] ^ this [17:09] linenoise: guess you brought that with you. [17:09] LordDragon: ikonia asked about other distros and I told him [17:09] JoeSomebody: well, to an extent [17:09] Am I doing something wrong? I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 through VM VirtualBox. The internet works fine and all, but I can't seem to connect to the internal network and connect to my Win7 (Not virtualized) [17:09] Cyber_Akuma thats what i am asking you guys [17:09] y-pwn: Oh I see now. [17:09] i can't see anything via the setup application [17:09] sipior: lol see what I mean? It's almost like you're part of hte problem [17:09] whats the best way to clone a hard drive and put it into an file [17:10] JoeSomebody: fsck is for the file system, not the drive, so that's not going to help [17:10] sniperjo: dd [17:10] linenoise: drama will get you nowhere. [17:10] JoeSomebody: most disk providers have a set of tools to check disks (ask in ##hardware) they may be the best option [17:10] I was about to say tarball. [17:10] Desca, are you bridging or NATing try bridging see if problem goes away also check your firewalls [17:10] what do i use to mark sectors as bad? [17:10] linenoise: there is a 4gb size limit on linux, i want to backup 160 [17:10] maybe i should run chkdsk? [17:10] sipior: again, more useless angry sentiment from you... just proving my point [17:10] Desca: the virtual network card for the Ubuntu guest is set in NAT mode (default) .. you need to change it to Bridged.. then you'll get an ip address that is in the same subnet as the rest of your LAN === Gabbie is now known as Gabbire|AFK [17:10] on windows [17:10] linenoise: bye now. [17:10] seems like i have some bad sectors, or whatever :( [17:10] linenoise: please stop, [17:10] sniperjo: you can do it [17:10] linenoise: calm down and help out, [17:10] hikenboot, Scunizi, thanks. Didn't think about that. I'll try it. [17:10] sniperjo: hold a sec [17:11] JoeSomebody: What are you trying to do? Check for bad sectors? [17:11] Desca: you have to stop the vm.. and make the changes in the vbox settings [17:11] Guys, what was that partition managing tool? [17:11] Cyberkilla yes [17:11] what is this about a 4GB size limit in Linux? [17:11] The one without an GUI [17:11] preetam [17:11] KillGuta, Gparted maybe [17:11] Scunizi, indeed I do. I'll return if I have anything else [17:11] anyone know if there is a way to export a device to the virtual machine...ie tell ubuntu to always ignore the device? [17:11] I found this link: http://tips4linux.com/scan-for-bad-sectors-in-linux/ [17:11] sniperjo: you can use split [17:11] KillGuta: gparted for gui, parted or fdisk without [17:11] 1. the wubi didn't work [17:11] linenoise: ive just done it twice and got the same error, i know i can do it straight to another drive but i really want to put it into a file [17:11] preetam: You there? [17:11] 2. now that [17:11] JoeSomebody: http://tips4linux.com/scan-for-bad-sectors-in-linux/ [17:11] ok thanks [17:11] Pretty sure that ext4 allows files a lot bigger than that [17:11] tensorpudding: over 1 TB in ext4 [17:12] ext3 too [17:12] sniperjo: ahh..... probably can't do a single file [17:12] so, guys, can you help me [17:12] y-pwn: what's up ? [17:12] JoeSomebody: I haven't tried it myself, but it seems to be what you're after. There is a graphical utility to check your hard disk too. It may detect bad sectors (it says my HDD has none). [17:12] is there a different way to install it [17:12] sniperjo: if you can stand having it split, it can be done, but otherwise, you may need a different fs (it's an ext issue I believe) [17:12] tensorpudding: What limit are yo asking about. Theres a ~4gb ram limit for 32 bit, but thats across platforms (barring PAE of course) [17:12] y-pwn: install what ? [17:12] ikonia: I will answer questions how I like. Boot me. It's what I expect from this community. [17:12] ikonia: setup utility on 10.10 doesn't recognize my partitions [17:12] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=257hjef&s=7 [17:12] y-pwn: open a terminal and type "ls /dev/sd*", and paste the list you see. [17:12] linenoise: actually ill rephrase that, multiple files is fine, i just dont want to re [17:12] [17:13] ok [17:13] linenoise: no-one wants to boot you, please just try to focus on resolving th ubuntu issues [17:13] $ gnome-panel \n bash: /usr/bin/gnome-panel: Permission denied <-- ?? [17:13] JoeSomebody: I think it's called Disk Utility, under System/Administration on the menu. [17:13] y-pwn: are you using a raid disk ? [17:13] repartition [17:13] ikonia: if someone asks me about another distro I'm going to tell them. [17:13] y-pwn: Paste it to paste.ubuntu.com [17:13] Can someone help me with this? : My brightness settings on my netbook (Ubuntu 10.10 NBR) always set themself to the brightest after a restart [17:13] ikonia: no [17:13] y-pwn: Or just type it out on one like here [17:13] Thanks for quotes, undecim. [17:13] oh no wonder [17:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/511759/ [17:13] if i download and install a package using apt-get, can I look at the software's code? [17:13] it's supposed to be gnome-terminal :) [17:13] People typing terminal commands should to that more often. [17:13] linenoise: then you'll be offtopic, so please don't [17:13] JoeSomebody: you can also run a "fsck -c drive/partition/to/check" command to check for bad sectors. [17:13] tiox: What? [17:14] gilaniali: theres src packages you can get. [17:14] hmm [17:14] y-pwn: just looking now [17:14] ikonia: how can it be off topic when someone asks me? [17:14] L551, Use battery setting for making it default [17:14] gilaniali: if you have deb-src lines in your sources.list, just apt-get source packagename should work [17:14] ikonia: ok, thx [17:14] Just saying, people typing terminal commands here should differentiate them/. [17:14] linenoise: because this channel is for ubuntu support only, not general linux questions [17:14] Like what you did the with the quotes, I knwo I must type everything within the quotes. :P [17:14] know* [17:14] ikonia: it's support to describe how a distro differs from the one you are using, especially if that distro doesn't have the same problems you're seeing. [17:14] y-pwn: it can see 2 disks in there - what's the problem ? [17:14] tiox: Oh, lol [17:14] Dr_Willis: where do I get them? [17:15] ikonia: yeah but [17:15] it will erase on of them [17:15] ikonia: Are you seriously going to argue that I can't compare distros? [17:15] if i press install [17:15] linenoise: not at all, [17:15] you know... fuck it... this place has taken the piss so hard I can't even care... [17:15] this channel isn't for bickering, could you have the metadiscussion move elsewhere? [17:15] hello. I'm helping out a friend. He's unable to use his nic or wireless card. We think we found a solution, but he'll need to install a few packages. Is there a ubuntu DVD or other cds that include additional packages? In special build-essential and its dependencies? [17:15] linenoise: Hey, grow up. [17:15] ikonia, it seems that linenoise is just here to be confrontational and stir up issues [17:15] The disk utility can see them [17:15] And the terminal [17:15] !enter | y-pwn [17:15] y-pwn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:15] y-pwn: Did you try "ls /dev/sd*"? [17:15] shauno: if a software is installed not from ubuntus repository but still using apt-get after changing the sources file, can I still use apt-get source? [17:16] y-pwn: In the terminal [17:16] undecim, yes [17:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/511759/ [17:16] y-pwn: the disk install can see them [17:16] y-pwn: I don't understand what your saying the problem is, there are two disks there [17:16] ikonia: really? how can I install it on a particular partition [17:16] gilaniali: that'd depend if the repository the package came from provides source packages [17:16] y-pwn: Does the disk util say anything about the partition table of sda1? [17:16] The "Ubuntu1010" ext4 one, on my prefer [17:17] This channel is a nightmare to follow in irssi lately : ) [17:17] y-pwn: you need to create a partition on sda, or you need to ccreate a new partitoin on sdb [17:17] y-pwn: you can't use the existing NTFS partitions [17:17] Cyberkilla: always busy right after a release, of course. [17:17] Aha. [17:17] ikonia: He has an ext4 patition on sda5 [17:17] undecim: no, it doesn't say anything [17:17] ikonia: Look at the disk util in the image he posted [17:17] * tiox just smiles and watches the discussion [17:17] undecim: then what's the problem [17:17] am I missing something ? [17:17] ikonia: The installer doesn't see it. [17:17] shauno: so if it doesnt, i would have to decompile the code? and being probably written in C, it would be nearly impossible. [17:18] sipior: I forgot about that! :-P [17:18] undecim: how do you know he has a partition then [17:18] can someone explain the Public folder? is it to share files between diferent users? [17:18] ikonia: This disk utility sees it [17:18] i included a screenshot [17:18] undecim: which one ? === sniperjo___ is now known as sniperjo [17:18] again: http://oi51.tinypic.com/257hjef.jpg [17:18] ikonia: The one in the image he posted [17:18] undecim: the one in the image doesn't show anything under sda [17:18] can you install packages on a liveUSB ? [17:18] Cyberkilla - smartctl failed to open the device hda, this is bad huh [17:18] gilaniali: if they don't have source packages, I'd hit their website to see if they provide sources. If they don't (which is very rare, usually only commercial apps), then yes .. you start getting stuck in awkward places :) [17:19] gilaniali: most code to things you are going to be using are going to be available. [17:19] ikonia: Look at the DISK UTILITY, not the installer [17:19] When I click on my partition: it says [17:19] undecim: ahh I see it [17:19] undecim: it's a HPFS partition type [17:19] Device: /dev/sda5 [17:19] Scunizi, hikenboot, thanks for your tip. That solved the issue. [17:19] (simple questions dont get answered) [17:19] So hmm [17:19] hang on [17:19] Desca: good to hear ! :D [17:19] uLinux: your answer is yes.

Look at the volumes in the graphic above that info and sda5 is an ext4 [17:20] i say [17:20] It recommends me downloading the 32bit version, but if I support 64 bit should I get the 64 bit version?

We think we found a solution, but he'll need to install a few packages. Is there a ubuntu DVD or other cds that include additional packages? In special build-essential and its dependencies? [17:21] I'll PM and walk you through before you make the jump. [17:21] undecim, ikonia, ok, thank you for your support, i will try the text mode setup [17:22] ben_q: you are the 2nd person ive heard of having an issue.. I dont see the issue here.. whats your video card? [17:22] JoeSomebody: Perhaps hda isn't the name of your drive (probably sda?). Also, have you tried the Disk Utility application under System/Administration instead? [17:22] I installed 10.10 today. I am trying to chmod +x a file on a usb stick and it fails to do anything? [17:22] y-pwn: I'll be gone for about 30 minutes, but I'll be back if you need any help.

[17:24] Any idea why my beagle search tool has stopped showing results from my other partitions? [17:24] ahm, Dr_Willis Iam not sure which serial, it's a Ati mobility radeon though [17:25] Dr_Willis, on a lenovo t400 notebook [17:25] Rajah^: it's stopped indexing them? [17:25] I dont know? [17:25] or is there a way for me to create a mirror repository in a pendrive with all the build-essential packages?

[17:26] h00k: hmm let me try [17:26] cdavis: what filesystem is this on? ntfs/vfat? if so that may be the reason. [17:26] JoeSomebody: You probably need to have root privileges to do it. Also, as you're dealing with entire drives here, I think you need sda rather than sda1. [17:26] How do I get 10.4 to find my network card again? It worked before but know I cant even find the hardware. [17:26] I think it has stopped indexing.. [17:26] JoeSomebody: Honestly, I think you're better off checking for bad sectors in Disk Utility.

[17:27] cdavis: which can be a hassle if you try to run Wine on windows apps.

But in the Maverick I am not getting any option to activate Bengali from iBus [17:28] ben_q: I dont do anything with ATI cards any more. if your card is supported may as well try them [17:28] i have intel [17:28] there is no menu item saying desktop search [17:28] How do I get 10.4 to find my network card again?

[17:45] I just want to get GRUB working. [17:45] yes. want to try before committing. [17:45] shizack: you may not want to be using WUBI and a external hd.. You can do a full 'normal' install to a external USB hd. but at the last dialog. theres a button you need to use to tell it to isntall teh bootloader to the external HD. NOT the internal drives.

[17:48] it actually ran a couple of times after wubi install, but crashed. after hard reset never worked again. [17:48] sebsebseb: wubi was fine for my lucid [17:48] seems to be relative to ia-32 libs [17:48] hello [17:48] mod: Huh? netbook uses the netbook GUI. normal ubuntu uses GNOME [17:49] 'wubi is an issue' :) [17:49] shizack: a Live bootable CD is a great way to test any Linux distro, and there are many to choose from, not even this site has them all http://www.distrowatch.com you would mainly be wanting to boot from a CD before deciding to install or not, to make sure things are ok hardwarewise [17:49] Dr_Willis, um.. GNOME is a window manger.. [17:49] so, I'm guessing the answer is yes [17:49] mod: gnome is a 'desktop enviroment' that uses metacity or compiz as its window manager. [17:49] is the netbook GUI build ontop of GNOME? [17:49] hey, I'm having an issue with getting the nvidia driver to work -- my X got reconfigured. Last time I had this problem ubuntu was using the driver from an earlier kernel. nvidia-xconfig does not work nor does nvidia-settings. [17:50] Has anyone else had issues after recent updates with 10.04 that the login screen is not appearing in GNOME? [17:50] mod: ubuntu netbook is using gnome with a different window manager, and default desktop icon/tools. [17:50] hmm [17:50] mod: also there are lot of Ubuntu only changes in the Gnome, mainly with 10.04 and 10.10, but started happening with 9.04 and 9.10 [17:50] hi if i have two internet connections, one on wlan0 and one connected a 3g modem connected through wvidal, which is the default one used for internet traffic? [17:50] well then if I don't need any compwiz bells and whistles, I might as well use netbook on my regular laptop [17:50] 10.10 changed a lot of stuff in the netbook inteface. you can still get the old netbook interface if you want it. [17:50] mod: changes that aren't part of upstream Gnome I mean [17:50] Dr_Willis is that what you told ReiChan a sec ago? [17:51] mod: i perfer normal gnome. The netbook stuff is annoying. :) [17:51] i could just load the desktop-ubuntu package? [17:51] elb0w: my splash screen is in text mode. how bout yours? [17:51] mod: you can have both installed and select what one to use at the GDM menu.

[17:53] tuxifier, are you sure your issue is related to mine? [17:54] LorgonJortle: and this was a clean install of 10.10? or what exactly? [17:54] 9.10 upgrade to 1.04 [17:54] Dr_Willis, I guess the real question is, is it true that with netbook over desktop I will be using less resources out of the box but still have all access to user-based functionality .... for example I could install Eclipse directly from eclipse.org without having to go through crazy steps of getting netbook ubuntu ready for it? [17:54] but after few minutes it becomes static nothing works [17:54] 10.04 LTS [17:54] LorgonJortle: so you may be using grub1 or grub2.. [17:54] Upgrade is too much for download stuff, kind of 1GB instead of the usually 656MB on cd [17:54] I was using grub1, I reckon'.

Last time I had this problem ubuntu was using the driver from an earlier kernel. nvidia-xconfig does not work nor does nvidia-settings. how do I make sure my computer is loading the right nvidia driver? [18:03] elb0w maybe system updates should be done on a test system instead of a production environment then huh? [18:03] undecim: it's firmware is Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.27) [18:03] lobster: udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sda [18:04] hey guys how i can add applications to Unity ? [18:04] Mac_User: I think you will still need to install the restricted drivers [18:04] Guys, how do I fix a hung boot? All it does is sit there at " _ " [18:04] Memnoch, these are personal machines used for development. The prods have updates off [18:04] undecim: Alright, thanks [18:04] Mac_User: The open source drivers I don't think were released soon enough to make it into Marverick [18:04] ok [18:04] do you know where I can grab them?

[18:08] Primedaeth, so use text mode (no x), you can pretty much fix all from console, press e in grub and add text option. if it fails try live cd [18:08] here is the contents of grub.cfg http://pastebin.com/0RKMy7pM [18:08] Is there any plans to localize ubunut.com site?

[18:11] text installer didn't work for me either (same result) [18:11] so [18:11] i have an idea [18:11] is this the room to come to if im having some troubles? [18:11] I added the text option and now it's asking for login and password. I know my pass -.-, but have no idea what it wants for the login.. [18:11] i will delete all other partitions, maybe with less of them, i will get the result [18:11] y-pwn: Okay, let me fire up a text installer in a virtual machine so I have something to reference.... [18:11] Primedaeth, i suspect your username [18:12] =-p [18:12] I tried it.

[18:15] I figured when they said they integrated gluster into 10.10 they meant they made an actual kernel driver for it, not still using fuse [18:15] shcherbak: Excuse my complete ignorance. [18:15] Does anyone here know anything about Steam for Linux?

[18:18] Primedaeth, one is sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, but before try xinit -- :1 vt7, search for broken instalations and kernel and system logs should show whats wrong [18:19] I did the recovery mode to fix broken packages, all were fine. [18:19] well then basix [18:19] i need someone to answer my question [18:19] is there anyway to change and mess around with the desktop style on ubuntu netbook?

[18:49] 10.10 [18:49] SeRVeR01 ok thanks! [18:50] Also, the thing is. I don't know why changing my theme first slowed everything down.... Caused graphical lag and the video that was playing started to skip [18:50] Then I went to restart,a nd bam. [18:50] Stuck at the desktop background. [18:50] No HDD Activity. [18:50] !enter [18:50] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:51] Is there an equivalent of the "ClickLock" functionality that exists for Windows? That is, a setting which causes single clicks of the mouse buttons to toggle that mouse button, rather than having each click be a full click->release action.

[18:53] wow, my PC really flies with 10.10 [18:53] I've enabled twinview + xinerama on 10.04 with nvidia on my laptop and my mouse is stuck on the primary screen [18:53] FrozenFire: theres some 'access' features that are similer to that for disabled people.. but ive never used them [18:53] i don't have any problems with drivers [18:53] graphics, network, sound... [18:53] If it matters, my secondary display is above the first, not to the side [18:54] all is fine [18:54] blocky: you enable twinview. it supercedes xinerama, and dont use the 'seperate X screen' setting [18:54] and i use integrated graphics! [18:54] blocky: why are you using xinerama? [18:55] Primedaeth, check your laptop type on bug forums, Id rather keep version back on working machine, and use spare on for experiments [18:55] blocky: also to get it working 100%$ properly - you will need to save the settings to the xorg.conf and restart the X server. if you just 'apply' the settings - it can confuse some programs that are allready ruynning [18:55] my top panel has frozen with the application menu stuck open, can i reload x/gnome from terminal? or even log out and back in? [18:55] My desktop is the one having issues at the moment, laptop is fine. [18:55] When I enable twinview without xinerama I get the taskbar and menu on both screens, and I have been saving to my xorg.conf and restarting gdm [18:55] HDD popped out while it was reading a whiel ago and so many errors. I was sadface. [18:55] blocky: to add to what Dr_Willis says.. you'll need to start nvidia-settings with sudo from cli to save the xorg.conf [18:55] laeg: try hitting the escape key a few times.. if all else fails.. try alt-ctrl-f1. login and do 'sudo service gdm restart' [18:56] actually gksudo prompts me [18:56] Scunizi: actually i THINK its been fixed now where it asks for root password when you start it up. :) [18:56] Primedaeth, my second laptop got melted nvidia ;) [18:56] what is the correct way to stretch my desktop across multiple displays then? disable xinerama and set twinview? [18:56] blocky: true.. gksudo is correct.. as for the task bar.. there are different settings for twinview.. clone is not what you want [18:56] blocky: remeber that a USER can also run nvidia settings and change some things so youy can alter the res and a few settings on a per user basix [18:57] Hola! [18:57] Dr_Willis: per user & per boot [18:57] blocky: twinview is nviodias replacement to xinerams. You dont want to use xinerama at all. actually from what i see in the tool. You cant enable both. :) [18:57] I began the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 using the Update Manager. During this time, I went walked away from the computer and the monitor's power saver mode has come on. Now it doesn't seem to recognize the mouse or keyboard so I can't wake the computer. [18:57] Is there a way I can ssh in and see if the upgrade is complete? [18:57] okay I will disable xinerama, enable twinview, save to xorg, restart gdm, and return shortly :) [18:57] has anyone been able to get multi touch - touchpad gestures to work in 10.10 [18:59] hi [18:59] what up [18:59] i want to emulate a sound card [18:59] gantry, retty can hijack process, but not sure you have it [18:59] I am having trouble getting 2 finger scrolling and everything working on my netbook [18:59] -oss sound i.e. /dev/dsp [18:59] whats the minimal functionality required [18:59] just stream s16 ? === Quincy2 is now known as Quincy [19:00] gantry, or you can just ssh and wait when it is idle and check version [19:00] well look at that, it's working now, except my menu/taskbar are on the wrong screen. anyone know how to correct that without restarting x? [19:01] blocky: its a setting in the nvidia-settings tool to check what is the primary monitor [19:01] blocky: or alt-click, on them and drag them over. [19:01] blocky: i put a panel on each monuitor. :) [19:01] shcherbak, how do I check the version? [19:02] Dr_Willis: escape a few times didn't work, and sudo gdm restart brought up a black screen with some text, the last of which was 'checking battery state...' which it seemed to stick on so i just pressed the power button! :) ty anyway [19:02] shcherbak, and is the version only updated once it is ready to be rebooted? [19:02] cat /etc/issue [19:02] ah cool [19:02] alt click works great [19:02] fgh [19:02] shcherbak, is the version the last package to be updated?

If I do an apt-get upgrade it shows that there is a lock on the process [19:04] gantry, kill apt?

But if I go into the options, it shows the percentage, but not when you click it's icon [21:23] hi , is there a GUI tool I can use to administer iptables rules ? [21:23] aphid, mmm that is not good. you installed this with live cd? [21:23] ikonia? [21:24] harovali: gufw [21:24] coz_: no, distribution upgrade [21:24] bigbadjesus: I see. it works but you want to do injection. [21:24] I was googling around [21:24] babu__: I don't have an answer except to look at the launcher (where ever that is) and see if there is a picasa specific switch that will change the opening of picasa from edit mode to view mode.. If you haven't already discovered it, you might also try another application called digikam which is as fully capable as picasa, runs natively and also offers more options. It will also export to google photo, flickr, facebook and many others. [21:24] aphid, mm ...out of curiosity ...which video card do you have? [21:24] i have a similar adapter but diff. [21:24] coz_: it's a netbook, so something crappy :D [21:24] it worked on 10.04, I just want to find the relevant package or determine if there isn't one yet for 10.10 [21:24] see some ppl not installing packages at all, but building drivers from source from aircrack-ng [21:25] babu__: digikam is in the repo's and is easily installable with .. sudo apt-get install digikam [21:25] yeah, I tried that but didn't have luck. I suppose I can attempt it again. the package install was painless [21:25] aphid, can you alt+F2 on the desktop that has no menu? [21:25] shame [21:25] how can i search the repos for a filename? i saw some obsolete documentation for 'apt-file search filename' [21:25] hey, I'm having an issue with getting the nvidia driver to work -- my X got reconfigured. Last time I had this problem ubuntu was using the driver from an earlier kernel. nvidia-xconfig does not work nor does nvidia-settings. how do I make sure my computer is loading the right nvidia driver? [21:25] but doesn't seem to work anymore [21:25] why is adobe acrobat reader so extremely slow and laggy in ubuntu? [21:26] yeah, it's not something I've done myself [21:26] rlankfo: apt-cache search .. the less specific the more results. [21:26] def. need a maverick-specific package [21:26] if one exists [21:26] if you searched the repositories already [21:26] most likely not [21:26] Diverdude, well my explanation is that adobe reader is WAY to bloated on any system to be worth using [21:26] Scunizi: i believe that only searches package name though and not files contained in packages, correct? [21:26] coz_: no but I can bring up the restart/shutdown/suspend/hibernate thing [21:26] please help: http://codepad.org/Axx7Ydmo [21:26] best bet, email the maintainer of linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [21:26] rlankfo: nope [21:26] rlankfo: what are you looking for? [21:26] Scunizi: ok thanks, i'm looking for cpucycles.h, any idea? [21:27] Diverdude, there are other readers Foxit or okular but olkular willl aslo install kde libs onto the system...if you dont mind that okular is remarkable small footprint and fast [21:27] coz_, well...Document Viewer is good, but unfortunately a bit ueless since it cannot use network printers it seems [21:27] Diverdude, but foxit is also [21:27] i'm on my laptop (alienware m5700i-r2) with ubuntu 10.04. i can get sound when i plug in my headphones, but no sound through the built-in speakers.. any ideas? i went through the help documentation on snd-hda-intel, but nothing worked so far [21:27] Scunizi: what package would contain the kernel source code? [21:27] rlankfo: sorry no.. what does it do? [21:27] Pici: thanks ! [21:27] aphid, ok I am stumped then... I also never run netbook so my little experience is not going to help with this [21:28] Scunizi: just a C header file [21:28] aphid, stick around and ask again...someone here must have some troubleshooting techniques for this [21:28] rlankfo: are you cli only? [21:28] Scunizi: yes [21:28] gigamonk -> check out System> Administration > Sound [21:28] coz_: thanks for the help. need to take off to a meeting so I will ask again when I get back. peace [21:29] rlankfo: ah.. ok.. you can also use aptitude from cli which will offer search/browse functions within a tree structure.. [21:29] gigamonk > system-preferences - sound [21:29] aphid, sounds like a plan :) [21:29] how can I get a better driver for my soundcard? [21:29] is it possible to install a few packages from a ppa, but use the regular versions of some other packages that the ppa provides? [21:29] Scunizi: alright thanks [21:29] rlankfo: good luck.. [21:29] rlankfo: you can search the repo for a filename with apt-file, as for cpucycles.h, the only package I found was libpolybori-dev, which without knowing what you're doing, is probably not what you're looking for [21:29] Hi, is there a way to change the growl-like notifications' settings in Ubuntu 10.4? Either built-in, or via a configuration app/file somewhere? [21:29] gigamonk - then go to Output [21:29] can anyone help with this problem http://imgur.com/EQ0JE.png my HDD mounts but the folder is empty [21:30] trism: you used apt-file to find that? do i need to install apt-file perhaps? [21:30] Grey_Loki, you mean the actual sounds? [21:30] ai6pg - only one option for sound output "Dummy Output" [21:30] trism: installing.. === Zeike is now known as brandonj [21:30] rlankfo: yes, install apt-file, then run: sudo apt-file update; and it will download the package information, and let you search with: apt-file search path [21:30] rlankfo: or list files in uninstalled packages with: apt-file list packagename [21:30] very nice, thats awesome, thank you trism [21:31] coz_: no, i mean the growl-style notification popups, such as the one that appears when you unplug your laptop's power supply and it notifies you that the battery is discharging. [21:31] Grey_Loki, oh ok ...that one I cant help with sorry [21:31] how do i compile or install 8.780 from mavrick on ubuntu 10.04 [21:31] fglrx [21:31] coz_: fyi, http://growl.info/about.php :) [21:31] Thanks anyway [21:31] Anyone else? :) [21:32] sight still no luck - updated vbox to 3.2.10 with guest-aditions and unity wont run ... [21:32] where could I go to ask questions about microsoft access 2007? [21:32] Grey_Loki: I think the answer is no [21:32] gigamonk - sounds like you have an other issue with sound - you might look at sound troubleshooting in - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound [21:32] I just upgraded 10.04 -> 10.10 and now my LCD TV will only do 1080i, not 1080p, which worked perfectly before. ATI Radeon 5870, using the proprietary drivers. Any ideas? [21:32] my laptop randomly reboots from time to time. which log files should i be looking at to investigate the problem? [21:33] Grey_Loki: actually, there maybe a ppa with a modified notification thing that allows for customization [21:33] whats wrong with Gwibber? I try to add FB and after authorization I get no way to add it. [21:33] ai6pg - k thanks, i'll see what i can figure out [21:33] gigamonk - you'll figure it out - best to you.

[22:04] Wat is the command to launch a file with it's default application? [22:04] area51pilot: no [22:04] jags : yes [22:04] ActionParsnip: where would I find a karmic ppa?

[22:05] Sickler: you'll still have issues because of the way the system binds the opensource drivers .. I found it much easier to google the PPA that offers the latest driver.. install that in the sources list and refresh then look in System>Admin>Hardware drivers.. it won't have the version number listed but should be the latest. [22:05] Question: I did the following "sudo apt-get install git" and it is paused in the process, will I mess something up by doing a "ctrl-c" and just doing it again? [22:06] Routers, I'm not sure why mine worked so easily, try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins [22:06] problem with my mic [22:06] how do i register my nickname guys?

[22:06] Scunizi: ok i do have the latest stable, i just moved to a different distro to this one where i used the 260 beta where i have had some really good experiences, just trying to get back to that [22:06] I'm compiling for the first time. I am following the guide here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo, but I have a question. Once I finish compiling do I still need the folder I used to compile it in or can I delete it? (Here they use /usr/local/src) [22:06] it works for sound recording [22:06] Android_Nerd914: however I woudn't suggest registering your current name [22:06] bastidrazor, well 1. I didn't know the name of the viewer. 2. Preferably it should still work when I change my pdf viewer. [22:06] rypervenche: when compilation is done you need to install the software - usually with: sudo make install -- and if you eventually want to uninstall again you will need the build directory again [22:06] Is there a way to change the location of the window buttons without changing theme? Using the ClearColor theme, which works great. [22:06] during call ots not working === nwg is now known as BigMatt [22:06] Android_Nerd914: Android might not be so well lets say cool, in a few years [22:07] its fine [22:07] Sickler: the PPA at last look had 25x.xx and my now have the beta as well.. you'll have to look [22:07] i will never stop loving android [22:07] how do I tell the system to run a script of mina at startup ? [22:07] guntbert, So it would be a good idea to compile it in a folder some place safe and keep it? [22:07] Somelauw: you need to learn some bash scripting before you can accomplish that or some clever aliasing [22:07] s/mina/mine/ [22:07] rypervenche, If you have the binary files you don't need the actual source code any more. Make sure you don't delete some files you didn't compile yet though! [22:07] edbian, I'm installing bitfighter and it said on the website that I have to compile it for Linux. [22:07] Android_Nerd914: ok go for it then I guess [22:08] bastidrazor, I figured out I could use gnome-open :P [22:08] harovali1, update-rc.d [22:08] rypervenche, Once it's compile you don't need the source code any more. [22:08] rypervenche: only for uninstalling (but you could download the tarbal again later :-) - else edbian is correct [22:08] edbian: what do I have to do or where do I hace to put my script before it ? [22:08] mmmmmh [22:09] harovali1, Read man update-rc.d It explains it all. (It actually places the files where they need to be automatically). [22:09] guntbert, If I use checkinstall, I won't need the source code to uninstall, correct? [22:09] edbian: do i need to install "proposed updates" too ? [22:09] c'mon guys, please help me itz 2 hrs im stuck in the splashscreen [22:09] edbian: thanks [22:09] Firartix, No [22:09] ./nick Android_Nerd914 [22:09] well [22:09] i installed all the regular ones [22:09] and yet the update manager won't say stuff about the new release being aviable D: [22:09] harovali1, If you want to do it manually than place the script in /etc/init.d/ and create links to it in the rcX.d folders that correspond to the run levels you want the script started in.

[22:10] Firartix, You just update to 10.10 and you get the new interface [22:10] gonna look for other methods i guess [22:10] rypervenche: sorry, never used it - please ask the channel again [22:10] Firartix, Go into software sources. Change it from LTS to normal releases [22:10] yea i figured this [22:10] Hallo, i still got problem with internet connection. Maybe i adding ip adressess in wrong way... Please help me someone :D Here is my IP's details in Windows - http://yfrog.com/65networkdetailsp - internet works fine in Windows. And here i added IP's mannually - http://yfrog.com/n6configicp - Internet connection shows that PC is connected, but web browser cant load pages, just shows "loading"... [22:10] Maybe i added IP's in wrong way? Please help!!! And sorry for my english :D ^^ [22:10] Firartix, It isn't listing 10.10 is available? [22:10] edbian: and after doing it manually do I have to run update-rc.d ? [22:11] mmh no === someone is now known as Guest23012 [22:11] If I compile source code with checkinstall instead of "sudo make install" I don't need the source code to uninstall it, correct? I can just uninstall it from Synaptics, right? [22:11] rypervenche: yep [22:11] erUSUL, Ok, thank you. [22:11] aaaaw crap [22:11] i just can't read [22:11] excuse me edbian [22:11] i thought it'd be shown as some popup [22:11] Firartix, ha, no worries [22:11] instead of some top-window bar >_< [22:12] harovali1, No. There are two methods. the manual method and the update-rc.d method [22:12] sebsebseb: upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and my laptop won't "go on" anymore, itz stuck in splashscreen, not even log in screen, cant do anything, tried to start in recovery mode and it let me but im a noob and dunno what to do, tried to install an iso on a usb pendrive since the laptiop doesnt have a cd reader but that wouldn't work as well. please help [22:12] edbian: thanks [22:13] IpSe_DiXiT: ok sounds like Plymouth has messed up after upgrade, the boot up that 10.04 uses, instead of xsplash which 9.10 uses [22:13] Hey you guys, I'm having trouble making a bootable startup disc with my usb drive :( Every time I click make startup disk in ubuntu's startup disk creator it says installation failed :( I have the iso file [22:13] sebsebseb: what do i do then? [22:13] AxionStile: did you md5 check the iso? then try with another stick if possible [22:14] IpSe_DiXiT: Plymouth in 10.04 also had quite a few issues, because of how they put it into the release, worked better in other distros :) anyway for 10.10 I belive Plymouth is more fixed [22:14] Jordan_U, no I don't have a b43 folder under /lib/firmware [22:14] sebsebseb: how can i fix my prob now? [22:14] Brandon123456: Then b43-fwcutter hasn't extracted the firmware yet, which is needed to use the b43 drivers. [22:14] guntbert: Okay. I'd like to just make a cd burn however, i get an error there too [22:15] Jordan_U, how do I extract it? [22:15] Brandon123456: Try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure b43-fwcutter" [22:15] hmmm hey edbian silly question here..... can you upgrade from regular to LTS ? [22:15] IpSe_DiXiT: 10.10 is also a bit more polished compared to 10.04, so I would suggest skipping 10.04, by doing a clean install with 10.10 [22:15] I'll check the tutorial that tells me how to do a md5 (and the other) check :) [22:15] Jordan_U, why reconfigure? [22:15] AxionStile: and the md5sums match? [22:15] hello there [22:15] actually [22:15] this was crap [22:15] To be announced.. :) [22:15] forget it XD [22:15] Brandon123456: You'll need to be connected to the internet when you run that, and it should prompt you asking if you want it to download and extract the firmware, select yes. [22:15] edbian: if the /etc/rc2.d/ directory is not there, do I have to create it ? [22:15] IF I have the following code /usr/bin/svn status | grep "^?" | sed -r 's/^\?[ ]+//' | xargs -r /usr/bin/svn add --force I want to run this in a folder that has files and folders that contain spaces? ie "folder name" i get an error svn: warning: 'folder' not found? any idea? [22:15] Firartix, Yeah. But 10.10 is not an LTS [22:16] jordan_, I got no output [22:16] Hallo, i still got problem with internet connection. Maybe i adding ip adressess in wrong way...

[22:19] IpSe_DiXiT: is it a broken install, or are you on about a bootable 10.04 USB being stuck on the flash screen? be more clear [22:19] I died [22:19] My guess? Daemon. [22:19] rypervenche: just a legacy name [22:19] 0_0 [22:19] sebsebseb: no it didnt man, i could only log in as root, it wouldnt log as a regular user, then i found out i could by doin "metacity --replace" and understood it was my ati card... but what now? [22:19] Brandon123456: I guess the package has changed a bit recently. Try uninstalling b43-fwcutter then going to Hardware Drivers again, if that doesn't work you'll have to download the driver and extract the firmware from it yourself. [22:19] IpSe_DiXiT: ah yes [22:19] I have a raid10 Hardware and want to install 10.10. Rebuild parted without dmraid patch to get the partitions right via installation but i get a i/o error (tried diff ubuntu versions / cd) [22:20] I wanted to ask, is there any means of changing the names of the main menus? [22:20] IpSe_DiXiT: ok in 9.10 did you have a propritary driver installed for ATI before upgrading to 10.04? [22:20] sebsebseb: it is a broken install (10.04) in the meantime im trying to do something with this usbstick [22:20] Like, fer'instance, what if I wanted to make Applications "Start" for inseance?

[22:20] Scunizi: yes or maybe its just Plymouth that went wrong [22:20] Jordan_U, is it a problem that I'm on wifi and not on ethernet? [22:21] sebsebseb: yea.. I've no idea [22:21] giovanni: stop please [22:21] Brandon123456: No. [22:21] Jordan_U: yea thats what i plan to do ubuntu / win7 [22:21] hello all [22:21] ok Jordan_U, I'll do sudo apt-get remove b43-fwcutter [22:21] sebsebseb: not that i remember, i had 8.10 before [22:21] Felix: What dmraid patch are you reffering to? [22:21] pff still no #ubuntu+1 :( [22:21] IpSe_DiXiT: oh you tried to upgrade to 10.04, directly from 8.10? [22:22] Scunizi: 9.10 > 10.04 [22:22] guntbert, Ah ok, so it will always be a directory then. [22:22] hey, I'm having an issue with getting the nvidia driver to work -- my X got reconfigured.

[22:22] IpSe_DiXiT: ok 9.10 to 10.04, but did you ever install a graphics card driver for your ATI card? your not sure? well maybe you did, and thats why your boot up now doesn't work [22:22] Jordan_U, where can I download the driver now?

[22:28] Gunbert are you alive? [22:29] IpSe_DiXiT: your install is messed up, there isn't much that can be done with it, you may not be able to just fix the issue either, so yep clean install [22:29] !list [22:29] ikonia, I'm not sure. It's possible that I compiled it [22:29] I did an md5 check and they didn't match up :( so I have to redownload I assume since it is faulty. [22:29] pianoboy3333: that's probably the reason then as it's an unsupported confiugration [22:29] IpSe_DiXiT: however taking a guess, you got some data in the install, that you want to get hold of? [22:29] AxionStile: That is corrrect [22:29] I had to learn how to use the terminal just get to the directory because im a newb :( [22:29] AxionStile: you can use torrents to avoid this problem in the future [22:29] AxionStile: Or you will have hell [22:29] nevermind it fixed itself apparently, future reference try reloading window manager [22:29] torrents, good call [22:29] hi, i'm using ebox with ubuntu, and my apache is extremly slow.. not only the ebox webfrontend is very slow, but also my custom virtual hosts.. it takes about 2-5 seconds to load a static html page [22:29] i always have hell [22:30] pianoboy3333: the upgrade won't have known about it as it was outside the package manager [22:30] :) [22:30] ikonia, so what should I do? compile again? [22:30] AxionStile: IM me if you desire, and I will seek to help [22:30] pianoboy3333: certainly not, that will just make it less supportible [22:30] Thanks Laszio, be prepared for dumb questions quite soon :) [22:30] Felix: Did you already try a normal install with Ubuntu 10.10? That guide is rather old and any problems may have been fixed. [22:30] ikonia, alright [22:30] I'm trying to learn from resources online..

[22:32] I installed ubuntu 10.04 using wubi via windows XP [22:32] pianoboy3333: no, as the modules you installed will still be in use [22:32] Jordan_U: yea thats was the first thing i tried :) but the installer didn't get the fakeraid right any time and failt on creating anything on the hdds [22:32] sebsebseb: i told you, i can completely format the hd, i dont care, there's nothing inside, i just cant manage to make the usbpendrive work, it starts but it gets stuck in splashscreen it as well. recovery mode dunno how to make it work, there's no cd reader, thatz it [22:32] ikonia, what should I try? [22:32] I guess since Ubuntu is installed through windows xp.. technically it can't survive without windows? [22:32] and if this is true, well I just want Ubuntu on my HD then. [22:32] IpSe_DiXiT: ok is that 10.04 on the USB? [22:32] Hey everyone I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CR520D and it has a really annoying light that blinks at the bottom of my laptop whenever I close the lid and I am just wondering how I would go about disabling it in Ubuntu. I know how to disable it in Vista but then when I reboot into Ubuntu it is active still. In Vista there is a Sony utlity that gets installed where you can disable it but I am not sure how to adjust the setting in Ubunt [22:32] u. If anyone could help I would love you forever. Thanks [22:32] No windows for now [22:32] <_Valantis_> HI guys i have some trouble installing some hardware on ubuntu [22:32] <_Valantis_> can anyone hepl [22:32] <_Valantis_> help ? [22:32] nvidia support linux !!!!!!!!!!! [22:33] AxionStile: I tried the wubi before it messed up my Averatec Laptop, I had a bad experience with it, which could just be an isolated case. Though from such experience I don't recommend it none. [22:33] !details | _Valantis_ [22:33] _Valantis_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:33] IpSe_DiXiT: See if you cannot go into the output (Press the arrow keyts on splash until you see text) to see if something died. [22:33] fuzzybunny69y: Black tape. :) [22:33] anything I should know before I upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04? [22:33] I know on another laptop I have, the installer dies (child_rip) [22:33] <_Valantis_> i have a usb video in that i want to make it work with ubuntu [22:33] sebsebseb: yeah, now im downloading the "alternate 10.04" cuz i just thought the desktop version might be too heavy [22:33] !notes | blocky [22:33] blocky: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [22:33] tiox: ???

[22:33] when i'm booting my system i get this error [22:33] Laszio: Yeah, I've been moderately fortunate so far. I'd just like to make a bootable usb.. delete the xp partition wipe the hd clean all together and start over with just ubuntu [22:33] <_Valantis_> EZmaker usb 2 by avermedia [22:33] IpSe_DiXiT: that probably won't help much [22:33] Thank you Laszio [22:34] IpSe_DiXiT: forget 10.04, go with 10.10 :) [22:34] Question: Has anyone experienced issues with not having mic output in Paltalk-Express and found a resolution to the problem? [22:34] <_Valantis_> i installed the drivers from the original site [22:34] redRiver, yeah I could do that but then it would clash with my silver and blue case [22:34] <_Valantis_> no problem [22:34] I'm going to get Ubuntu via torrent :) [22:34] <_Valantis_> but the usb it not recognised by any program [22:34] My search continues [22:34] <_Valantis_> cheeze etc [22:34] IpSe_DiXiT: 10.10 has more boot up issues fixed, so I think thats a good enough reason to try that one [22:35] tiox: ive seen something, it says apparmor failed, etc [22:35] hi, i've just saw a video where a guy entered in a computer sending a mail to a windows client, he attach an image and when the target tried open the image a program started and the hacker was able to take controll of the pc. Can this happen with ubuntu? [22:35] _Valantis_, have you checked if it shows up in dmesg? [22:35] AxionStile: Check your messages I sent you a IM/PM [22:35] I need help installing a package from source. configure fails with "bash: ./configure: Permission denied" [22:35] Any help??

[22:38] softcoder: correct [22:38] <_Valantis_> ok [22:38] thepeon: uuuh isn't this stuff about needing execution permission ?

[22:39] I'm having problems connecting to internet in ubuntu 10.10, wired DSL connection [22:39] sda1986, you mean a video file? [22:39] o idk then [22:39] thanks all and keep up the good wotk on the BEST nix distro! === Gabbie is now known as Gabbie|AFK [22:39] w83: you machine does not support the effects and you loose the window manager [22:39] softcoder: no such thing as a best Linux distro [22:40] thepeon: what program are you trying to install? [22:40] I think so [22:40] ikonia, any suggestions? [22:40] Ubuntu does it right (in my opinion) [22:40] rohanc: Yeah there are still some nasty bugs in NetworkManager in ubuntu 10.10 [22:40] w83, or you need to run emerald manually [22:40] erUSUL, it worked fine on ubuntu 10.04 [22:40] Is there a way to launch the drive-benchmark in "Disk Utility" from the command line? Or to save it's output graph & data? [22:40] softcoder: and I can think of other distros that will be better at times, but this is going off topic a little now [22:40] true [22:40] !best | softcoder [22:40] guntbert: the nautilus dropbox extentions [22:40] just did a fresh install of maverick on a eeepc, unable to set desktop effects [22:40] softcoder: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:40] hi [22:40] sebsebseb: Yes there is: the one that you're comfortable with, and is stable for what you do with it. ;) [22:40] w83, just try Alt+F2 and type in emerald [22:40] is 64 as stable as 32 in general? [22:40] Makdaam, yes, video, or image, or whatever, i want understand if someone can hide program under "normal files" for steal your information like in windows. [22:40] for 10.10 ?

[22:41] Makdaam, I do not use emerald [22:41] guntbert: the .deb wasn't working for me, either [22:41] Kyle__: right, but there will be others that may work better for someone, they just haven't tried them, so they don't know [22:41] is it possible to set a personal message on Empathy ? [22:41] sebsebseb: It's a personal thing. [22:41] is this common? it's an intel 8x video cbhipset. I can enable them via gconf but then am unable to modify using ccsm [22:41] how to install ubuntu on encrypted partition? [22:41] rohanc: You just have to wait for a couple of bugfixes [22:41] rohanc: Got the same problem [22:41] w83, well I didn't use the 3d effects for some time, what's the command to run a separate WM with beryl/compiz? [22:41] subutux: as I've already able to connect to it, after I ran the update manager and rebooted my system, now i'm not able to connect [22:41] where can i get ubuntu's kernel changelogs? [22:41] subutux: my question is where did it go wrong? [22:42] as a dev would anyone discourage me from going 64 bit on 10.10? [22:42] rohanc: do: sudo dhclient eth0 [22:42] softcoder: no [22:42] sda1986, well you can ask a user to mail the info to you :P [22:42] softcoder: Nope. [22:42] softcoder: 64bit 10.10 should work ok for you [22:42] you clearly haven't been devving long if you have to ask that [22:42] ok, off i go.. thx guys [22:42] Jordan_U, it's downloading, but it says Lucid, and I'm on Maverick [22:42] but no [22:42] pls how to install ubuntu on encrypted partition like I can do on debian? [22:42] wthpr0: what would say? [22:42] anybody has sopcast working in 10.10 ? [22:42] any advice on enabling compositing on eeepc with maverick? [22:42] well I've ben on ubu since 8.04 [22:42] ejv: I was thinking something like that as well [22:43] Makdaam, i don't want do it! i want understand if they can steal my information with trojan or something like that like on windows [22:43] <_Valantis_> i need to install the usb video in a acer netbook with ubuntu [22:43] Brandon123456: The firmware hasn't changed since lucid. [22:43] but we had out share of issue in 64 bit over the years [22:43] wthpr0: what would it do? [22:43] rohanc: open up the terminal and run: sudo dhclient eth0 [22:43] I have 6 children and 10 linux boxes here [22:43] sebsebseb: yea *sigh* [22:43] Makdaam, maybe they send me a fake img and it start a program for steal my info, or video or whatever... [22:43] sda1986, both yes and no, depends on your policy towards running things :) === Auv5[Alt] is now known as Auv5[Away] [22:43] ok Jordan_U. I'll let you know if the command works [22:43] Anyone know what this is? ImportError: No module named static. What do I need to install? [22:43] thepeon: did you see http://new2ubuntu.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/how-to-install-dropbox-howto/ ? [22:43] Makdaam, there is a guide for security? i want a secure system [22:43] sda1986, if you don't mess up, no, no default browser will let you run code from an image, at least not intentionally [22:44] yofel - ping [22:44] disappearedng: a little of contxt may help. *What* is giving that error ;P [22:44] <_Valantis_> another link with my hardware : http://www.e-shop.gr/show_per.phtml?id=PER.808026 [22:44] sda1986, there are guides, google for "hardening linux" [22:44] perfect [22:44] Jordan_U, though the file is only 65k, it will take another 32mins to dl, would you mind sending me via IRC? [22:44] wthpr0: can enlighten me here, what are steps to be taken after running that command, cause I've to reboot now and login in ubuntu and check it, if it didn't work out, then i've to come back to my windows [22:44] guntbert: did I see what? [22:44] hi, most of the time my mouse stops clicking after a while in 10.10, what's causing this? [22:45] sda1986, there are mechanisms that will protect you from malicious code, by limiting what it can do [22:45] thepeon: the howto in that link [22:45] ok thx, I'll play with it, just wanted to make sure that is not a 10.10 bug or sth [22:45] rohanc: what it will do is getting you a new IP from the DHCP server it shoud work right after you run the command [22:45] Question: Has anyone experienced issues with not having mic output in Paltalk-Express and found a resolution to the problem? [22:45] <_Valantis_> i installed the drivers from here : http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=188&tab=APDriver [22:45] Brandon123456: My connection is bad, and that file is being hosted on the same computer I'm on IRC from :) [22:46] ok Jordan_U [22:46] Makdaam, i saw on a italian tv show, an hacker can hear your microphones or start your webcam, after sent you a fake IMG and i wanted to know if that is possible on ubuntu [22:46] Laszio: Paltalk has a Linux version now? [22:46] sda1986, google AppArmor it's easy in configuration and has some power [22:46] wthpr0: ok thanks, do i have to run this everytime I reboot my system? especially after I install any updates? [22:46] can anyone help me troubleshooti= compositing on a fresh 10.10 install? I cant understand why this isn't working [22:46] guntbert: I didn't see a link... [22:46] Brandon123456: Try restarting the download and it may go faster. [22:46] ok [22:46] sda1986: the media have it wrong, a hacker is a programmer, a cracker or black hat is the computer invader [22:46] <_Valantis_> can anyone help me install the avermedia ezmaker usb ? [22:46] Peace sebsebseb: Paltalk-Express has been available for a while now which is compatiable with Linux and Mac [22:46] thepeon: http://new2ubuntu.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/how-to-install-dropbox-howto/ [22:46] happy to post any relevant files .. have installed xorg-edgers ppa, did not seem to help [22:46] How do I get apt-get install a... to do auto complete? [22:46] _Valantis_, yes, please paste the dmesg [22:46] Jordan_U, it gets stuck at 3.8k [22:47] <_Valantis_> i did [22:47] <_Valantis_> dmesg -------> usb 1-3: new high speed usb device ... blah blah [22:47] Peace sebsebseb, though I'm have lost mic output as of here recently, though sound is crystal clear and text works. [22:47] Laszio: oh right nice, I used Paltalk quite a while ago, and then I even thought about buying a microphone maybe espeailly for pal talk [22:47] guntbert: Thanks, got it this time. I'll give that a try [22:47] _Valantis_, yeah... I'll need the blah blah part [22:47] is it possible to do a mouseover taskbar tooltip in gnome? [22:47] Can someone tell me what happens when I connect to Ubuntu via SSH that causes it to inform me of available release upgrades? I have upgraded to Maverick and when I connect via SSH it tells me tto upgrade to 10.10 but I am already running it. [22:48] rohanc: it should happen when the OP run but if you have to do that you can just add the coomand to /etc/rc.local and it will run it for you and boot up [22:48] Jordan_U, if I go to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter and then click The Maverick Meerkat, will that work? [22:48] Hi -- I have a dual monitor setup that I can nicely configure through the system settings, but whenever I reboot the configuration is lost and the monitors are mirrored (and have the wrong resolutions), rather than side by side. How can I keep the configuration? [22:48] Is it possible in Ubuntu 10.10 to set Evolution to still be connected to your e-mail server while in a "minimized to tray" setting? [22:48] Laszio: probably just need to do a bit of confugiring, but sound problems aren't so easy to sort out in Ubuntu, unlike well a few of the other distros it seems. Anyway not my area, so good luck with that. [22:48] jrebelo: output of "cat /etc/issue"? [22:48] Peaec sebsebseb, Paltalk-Express is the Mac and LInux version for now. I'm having mic output problems but, sound and text are clear. [22:48] Peace* [22:49] Brandon123456: No, because for legal reasons the firmware isn't included in the package itself. [22:49] howdy , long time linux user here in a bad way with Sony Vaio and Nvidia 330M card. Took a while under lucid to get things right , now no matter what I do I cannot install the Nvidia after the 10.10 upgrade [22:49] iceroot: Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l [22:49] Laszio: why you saying Peace? [22:49] iceroot: i have pasted a few relevant outputs here already: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9961471#post9961471 [22:49] ok Jordan_U, what can I do then? [22:49] cuz the download from u aint working (n/o) [22:49] iceroot: you'll find that every indication is that the upgrade is fine, but only on SSH connection, it thinks it is not [22:49] iceroot: the update manager says I am all up to date [22:50] I've tried nvidia-current after purging all nvidia from root shell , and Jockey does not see any Nvidia drivers , also I tried installing from the nvidia site but it gave kernel errors [22:50] wthpr0: thanks for your info buddy, i'll check it right now and if I do i'll you let you know soon from ubuntu machine, see ya [22:50] What brand of video cards work best with linux now days? I know that nvidia drivers have had issues in the past. Ati the way to go? [22:51] anyone have a good link for installing nvidia drivers under 10.10 ? I'm having a hell of a time [22:51] hi guys, I want to run a python script on login as a user but the script requires superuser privileges and I don't want to have to enter the password on logon. Any ideas [22:51] Tater27, Intel seems to work flawlessly [22:51] ? [22:51] Tater27: for Ubuntu Nivida is uesaully the best, and ATI is useauly the worst it seems, and Intel is in between or something [22:51] aloon, what card? [22:51] Peace sebsebseb, I usually would address as: Shalom (Hebrew) Shlama (Aramaic) or Salaam (Arabic), but seeing most speak only english I use peace. The reason is cause it keeps my pride in check, personally. [22:51] mine works great :) [22:51] nvidia 330 M [22:51] on a GTX 260 [22:51] did it not show up under restricted drivers? [22:51] jrebelo: hm, very strange, so i think the sshd is not reading the information correct, or the message about the update is a cached one [22:51] it was hard but I got it under Lucid ... now i've been trying for days [22:51] guntbert: the .deb they have you add gives a 404 [22:52] Tater27, nvidia has had a better history of support than ati ... although both are well supported at this point [22:52] prappl93: I can't get compositing to work on intel [22:52] Nvidia 330 M in a Sony Vaio F series laptop = not very linux friendly , was lots of work to get things going [22:52] except in clutter [22:52] iceroot: I've rebooted but it didn't clear it either. Any idea where an sshd login message might cache? [22:52] ikonia, still there? [22:52] do I have to remove netbook unity stuff to get regular compositring to work in netbook edition? [22:53] anyone know why my boot stops after an fsck ? [22:53] hi guys, I want to run a python script on login as a user but the script requires superuser privileges and I don't want to have to enter the password on logon. Any ideas? [22:53] iDope: you can set up sudo to allow that command by that user to run without a password [22:53] it will go in the sudoers file [22:54] jrebelo: i dont have an ubuntu here so i can only guess that it is a setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [22:54] iceroot: Which distro you on? :) [22:54] Jordan_U, is there anything on this site that will work? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/1:013-2/+build/1735399 [22:54] iceroot: yeah I checked in there but nothing relevant. Thanks for your time anyways, I'll keep looking around. [22:55] Because Ubuntu ta slow [22:55] ah [22:55] iceroot: i found it! [22:55] my NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M works very well. [22:55] The /etc/motd file has that message hardcoded into it [22:55] sebsebseb: univention corporate server [22:55] So now the question is what updates the motd file :) [22:55] iceroot: not heard of that [22:55] Brandon123456: Follow the fedora instructions here, minus the "yum install" part (start at "Next, download the Windows driver") [22:55] Because Ubuntu is slow after updates [22:55] Hey. Any clue where I can get GNU netcat from? The default netcat in the repo seems to be the BSD flavor [22:55] Brandon123456: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#device_firmware_installation [22:56] sebsebseb: debian based distro, specially for managing windows-networks with domains and active directory [22:56] can unity prevent compiz from working? [22:56] iceroot: oh ok sounds ok [22:56] :) [22:56] sebsebseb: yeah its great, i am working for them :) [22:56] ok Jordan_U [22:56] iceroot: the people that make that distro? [22:57] Hi everyone. Running ubuntu 10.10 LTS server. Overnight my ssh server has stopped liking my main login, permission denied. I can still log in as another user, and then su to my user. So that means not a password issue. Not a firewall/port issue as ssh still works. Any reasons why, overnight, it stops liking a specific user? Any help greatly appreciated. [22:57] sebsebseb: yes [22:57] willberg: you may want #ubuntu-server [22:57] iceroot: doing what? [22:57] I wonder if Rug's here? [22:57] willberg: I'd try logging in with ssh -vvv user@host; you can make ssh extremely verbose about the login process that way [22:57] sup everyone [22:57] thank you jreblo, I looked up a little tutorial on /etc/sudoers and its working great now [22:58] Jordan_U, where it says "Next, decompress..." do I have to do that manually or will those 3 commands do that? [22:58] sebsebseb: http://www.univention.de/en/ i am in the professional servic part, most time doing conceptions for customers, building packages and managing the systems from the customers [22:58] iceroot: you just told loads of people that [22:58] Brandon123456: Those commans do that. [22:59] ok [22:59] sebsebseb: yeah [22:59] iceroot: however yeah from your text sounds alright [22:59] Evry script that I run states I'm unable to execute Permission denied. Anyone have any suggestions [22:59] shauno: Thanks - I think what may be causing an error is that it is capitalising the first letter of my login name? I assure I'm typing it all lower case. Seems to be looking fo /home/Will rather than /home/will. Anything you know which could cause that?

It has a DWA-140 d-link usb device. I installed rt2870 drivers and they seem to work well. I have it configures as a wlan0 device and I entered the settings for the network in the interfaces file. It manages to send DHCP request to the router and it gets an IP assigned and I can see the connection in the router settings page. However, I cannot ping anyt [23:43] I have a nother issue with multihead [23:43] Gnea: probably just "passwd" is the best way to go [23:43] kismet: wuddup? I use dual monitors. [23:43] with multihead compiz won't work... [23:43] renamed myself, so I'll ask again... I'm booted off USB live mode... does my user (ubuntu) have a password? (and does it matter?) [23:43] Error opening directory '/home/sebastian/Desktop/journal/$': Permission denied [23:44] zkam: password should be blank (as in there is no password) for the live cd [23:44] jrib: you know, probably. who introduced the whole sudo thing anyway? I could really go and drop a load of bricks on someone's head right now... :) [23:44] kismet: please give more details than just "won't work"...does the screen just go completely black when you enable the 2nd monitor or something? [23:44] seanp2k, compiz won't work with multihead..(multihead = dual monitor) [23:44] Help! When I tried to upgrade to Maverick, something went wrong and now I can't get X to start! When I boot, I just get tty1. I've done |sudo aptitude update| and |sudo aptitude full-upgrade| and then rebooted several times. What am I missing? [23:44] thanks jrib [23:44] instead of that i want a prompt that asks me for my password, much like with synaptic [23:44] zebastianortis: are you confused yet? I'm sorry, but 'passwd' by itself is all you need. sorry for the bad info above. [23:44] zkam, nothing is saved in a liveCD boot [23:44] seanp2k: any ideas what that scrolling thing could be? [23:45] jo_: not really, you say it just basically drops focus on the scroll bar? I'd try switching out hardware, i.e. try different mouse [23:45] zebastianortis: IN ONE LINE, tell us exactly what you do, what happens, and what you want to happen (you haven't told us the first part that I can see) [23:45] jo_: check out the program 'xev' [23:45] jrib: trying to fix a broken wubi installation with a massive headache isn't really helping much [23:45] Gnea, i already changed the password thanks, now the problem is this, when i am on the gui and click on my root only folder it says access denied, and what i want it to do is prompt and ask for the password [23:45] seanp2k, If i plug in the second monitor compiz just enables itself... under pref->monitors if i place them on top of each other compiz starts (appearance) [23:45] Gnea: I've put off upgrading to 10.10 until I have a free day for that reason :) [23:46] i want the folder that only root can open to show up a prompt that asks for the password instead of saying access denied only root can open this folder [23:46] zebastianortis: what exactly do you mean by "root only folder"? [23:46] any1 know how to conn. to a vpn connection via command line?? [23:46] seanp2k, does it make sense what i wrote [23:46] ?? java [23:46] zebastianortis: you'll just have to explain the whole thing, I don't understand 'root folder' you say one thing and mean another [23:46] zebastianortis: it sounds like you want to |gksu nautilus| and then browse around. [23:46] whats the info bot here called? [23:46] i made a folder that only root has permission to open, read write, etc, to put my journal in it, when i click on it from the gui though it says permission denied, i want it to pop up a prompt asking for apssword instead [23:46] !java > ddilinger [23:46] ddilinger, please see my private message [23:46] kismet: yes, i just don't have much experience with compiz. Try disabling or scaling back graphical effects [23:46] !bot > ddilinger [23:47] kismet: preferences -> appearance -> visual effects [23:47] seanp2k, yeah if i totally disable the graphical effects all good... but it would be a nice to have with compiz enababled [23:47] kismet: see if that helps. What video card / graphic drivers are you using? [23:47] rww: Bug posted: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/659565 [23:47] seanp2k, intel graphic chip [23:47] seanp2k: KeymapNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 4294967212 [23:47] kismet: Ahh, i see. Probably better to post the details in the forums then, more likely to get a response because it's a kind of complex problem [23:48] seanp2k: does that mean something special? [23:48] seanp2k, oh i see... [23:48] anyone know if i can install 10.10 from my ipod [23:48] seanp2k, thanks [23:48] for insttance when i open synaptic it prompts asking me for my password, what i want is exactly that to happen when i click on the folder that i created on which only root has read write privileges, currently it says access denied upon clicking, i want a prompt asking for password instead [23:48] almater from your ipod? like to what? [23:48] !ipod | almater [23:48] almater: 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 [23:48] jo_: Right, but does it display events when the scroll bar releases? [23:48] almater: you can use it as a mass storage device to put the Ubuntu installer on it, and boot your computer from that device, yes [23:49] almater: If you treat it like a normal USB drive and use the Startup Disk Creator [23:49] One more question about xorg.conf: if I just put some sections in the file and not all would it just use the sections which i put in? [23:49] zebastianortis: not possible; nautilus does not know how to handle that; and probably it will never know. nobody asking for it [23:49] kismet: yes === adante_ is now known as adante === root is now known as Guest62749 [23:49] zebastianortis: I have no idea how to make it do that. You might have to make some kind of custom handler for that. No easy way that I know of. You might want to look into something like this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyEncryption [23:49] yes, just wondering if it had been tried. thanks h00k [23:50] Help! When I tried to upgrade to Maverick, something went wrong and now I can't get X to start! When I boot, I just get tty1. I've done |sudo aptitude update| and |sudo aptitude full-upgrade| and then rebooted several times. What am I missing? [23:50] how do you burn an ISO from ubuntu the quickest [23:50] zebastianortis: or this, if you're just trying to encypt one folder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [23:50] sorry...i was disconnected befor...is there someone able to export a driver from jaunty to be imported in lucid or maverick? [23:50] erUSUL, thanks [23:50] will: right click on it choose writte to disk [23:50] seanp2k: I'll do fdisk -l once the demo opens lol [23:50] kemnitz what does startx do for you? [23:50] k here we go [23:50] will: make sure you have a blank cd in the burner too ;P [23:50] there must be some algorithm that prompts for passwords [23:50] meesebyte: OK, that will show us how the partitions are set up right now. [23:50] i am using pcmanfm, i am on lubuntu [23:51] zebastianortis: no; synaptic ask for a password because the menu entry does not call synaptic directly. it calls gksudo with synaptic as an argument === helper is now known as Guest18201 [23:51] zebastianortis: so that'd be a feature request of pcmanfm then [23:51] zebastianortis: gksudo ask the password gksudo launchs synaptic [23:52] hi, im creating a partition to put ubuntu on, should i use ext4 or ext3? [23:52] seanp2k: Is it normal for the demo to freeze up after like 60 seconds? [23:52] :/ [23:52] I bet it isn't [23:52] aha, so is there a way that i can ask gksudo to open pcmanfm to open this folder? [23:52] zebastianortis you can make a simple wrapper to have gksudo call your filemanager [23:52] madfox how? [23:52] zebastianortis: you could possibly make a shortcut key-combo to do it [23:53] !shortcut | zebastianortis [23:53] zebastianortis: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [23:53] running your filemanager as root is asking for trouble imho. one bad keypress == messed system [23:53] enteL: If you want to be able to read anything on your ubuntu partition from Windows, use ext3. If you don't care, go with ext4 [23:53] chrome is more stable than firefox [23:53] Edit your menus and see what the command line args gksudu calls for synaptic and recreate it for pcman [23:53] madfox: Amongst some other stuff, it says "Fatal server error: no screens found" and then after pausing for a bit, "xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server" and "xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error." [23:53] Some_Person: thanks [23:53] erUSUL: well, he seems to have his bits in a row [23:53] i dont NEED a swap partition do i [23:54] seanp2k: Is there a way to get to the kernel with just USB in? Non installation? [23:54] kemnitz try using apt-get to install a new xserver [23:54] because demo is screwed up [23:54] Gnea, ok, problem is i amon lubuntu [23:54] !swap | enteL [23:54] enteL: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [23:54] !lubuntu [23:54] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [23:54] madfox, how do you make a wrapper to do it? [23:54] is there a way to export a driver from jaunty to be imported in lucid or maverick? [23:54] enteL: Technically no, but it is highly recommended, and I'm not sure if ubiquity will let you install without one [23:54] is 10.10 LTS? [23:54] zebastianortis: yeah, you'll need to figure out how to do that then [23:54] RealOpty: no [23:54] zebastianortis Edit your menus and see what the command line args gksudu calls for synaptic and recreate it for pcman [23:54] zebastianortis: it's only lxde, shouldn't be too terribly difficult to figure out [23:55] sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf cant find "serverTokens" [23:55] anyone know if its here? [23:55] bye [23:55] if it's point-and-click, should be able to read a few menus and figure it out just by reading what they are [23:55] zebastianortis basically play with it till it works. [23:55] when is the next LTS release? [23:55] meesebyte: not sure what you mean? [23:55] RealOpty: one and a half years from now [23:55] RealOpty: 12.04 mostlikely [23:55] Hello guys i am having a problem when trying to use apt-get, i get a lot of 409 conflict errors, i have set up my proxy and applied system-wide, so i don't know what else to do? [23:56] opr: 409?! [23:56] seanp2k: Nvm... Can I see which partitions are safe to use by looking at the installation "allocate disk space" [23:56] gnea: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-security/restricted/source/Sources.gz 409 Conflict [23:56] seanp2k: There's a colorful bar with sda1, sda2, etc....

[23:57] I see. [23:57] TY [23:57] enteL: a point on the filesystem to mount the volume of a device or partition onto [23:57] Im guessing Its the command gksu [23:57] seanp2k: Well I can overwrite a partion, but is that safe? [23:57] How to install language pack in Linux (language Russian) in Back Track 4??? thanks [23:57] enteL: instead of having silly drive letters, you get one filesystem which can read directly into other devices [23:57] where is the ubuntu link to my filesystem when I install under a bubble from Windows 7? [23:58] Ok, time to install with the old alternate installer (something I think I haven't done since my very first ubuntu 5.10 install) [23:58] blick [23:58] gnea: http://pastebin.com/esvRKDWE [23:58] can I access my ntfs partition?

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [23:58] will: sure [23:58] Blicken, youre right when i type that onto a terminal a prompt comes up, so how do i make that happen when i click onto my specific folder [23:58] so what should i set my mount point as [23:59] bonsoir tios..! [23:59] how do I mount an ntfs partition [23:59] madfox: what package am I looking for? [23:59] will: just click on it in nautilus [23:59] seanp2k: Should I shrink a partition and then make a new one?
