[00:08] StaRetji: i would recommend looking at reinstalling grub...that might do your fix...also settings should be in /home/user no?

I just updated my ubunut 10.04 via apt-get [00:09] Spofer: right, there's a ton of packages that are dependent on it. Hang on...

[00:10] Spofer: huh? [00:11] ubuntu: /join #openmoko [00:11] jsec: When you apt-get remove tzdata you need to confirm by typing in "Yes, do as I say!" [00:11] Sayo, do you use standard ubuntu kernel to boot? [00:11] For sake of good advice which cron type is normally advised? I'm looking for one that possibly doesn't allow for individual accounts to set up there own crontabs but rather a universal one. [00:11] yes [00:11] ubuntu, what smartphone? they are all different? [00:11] openmoko is the best one if you want total freedom [00:11] the hardware is open source [00:11] Spofer, I think you can do "apt-get remove dpkg" [00:12] wait, why remove dpkg? [00:12] anyone? [00:12] Azendale: so far so good, fingers crossed [00:13] same here why are you removing dpkg [00:13] dli, but how can i install packages after that? [00:13] :'( [00:13] StaRetji: Ok, good luck!

[00:14] nepas, how do your phone connect to ubuntu? [00:14] jsec: tzdata is broken or not fully installed [00:15] Spofer, sudo apt-get -f install [00:15] Spofer: k that's what I thought. One second. [00:15] Spofer, or, sudo dpkg --configure -a [00:15] pato: since a package update clobbered your customization (a common mistake), can't you simply to the same customization again?

[00:15] pato: *do the same [00:16] LWSDesigns, dli: I want to connect to the internet via wifi on my cell phone [00:16] Spofer, to recover from broken/interrupted apt actions [00:16] Spofer: apt-get -f install will try to fix any broken packages and dpkg --configure -a will try to configure any packages that need configuring [00:16] Ok thanks everyone I'm trying that now [00:17] nepas, but wifi on phone can not connect to your wifi-AP? [00:17] nepas if i'm understanding you correctly a router would work or multiple nics with firestarter in your ubuntu pc [00:17] domcod: I guess I can try to boot in recovery mode and copy the rebuilt kernel image over [00:17] if the system allows it [00:17] LWSDesigns, dli: and my laptop connect to the internet via cable. [00:18] Jordan_U: thanks for the guide bro [00:18] nepas, click on the wifi icon, then click create wifi network [00:18] Sayo: You're welcome.

Of course, it might not still be /dev/sda1 if you are booted into another install/livecd [00:35] liquidmeson: I have a near same issue, except that it seems that ubuntu won't connect to an ad-hoc SSID [00:35] i fixed it everyone, thanks :) [00:35] jsec, tell me about it :) [00:35] i had an old version of the driver. === rockets_ is now known as rockets [00:35] SamWeasley, what actual apps were the scripts utilizing, avidemux has a psp video output [00:36] pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this?

[00:48] i'm talking about the new unity ubuntu :( [00:48] Ianr, you would need to edit the image on the USB stick. [00:48] liquidmeson, right. thats what im using.

[00:50] hi all, i've read the many bugs related to the lack of OSS modules under maverick, has anyone a solution in here? [00:51] liquidmeson, but well designed overall. Sidebar needs autohide though. . . [00:51] rockets, can't wait until tabs touch the very top, ex. in chrome for 11.04 [00:51] if you no longer have the old ubuntu repos in your sources.list you may have to add them back, if these were from different sources (alternately you could just download the packages individually atude [00:51] liquidmeson, ah, 11.04 is adding support for non-standard window decorations? [00:51] liquidmeson, wouldn't tabs touching the top cover battery indicator, etc.? [00:52] Maahes: I have no idea what's there and what's not... problem is, all of these circular predependencies that make no sense === net_ is now known as MaD-ZaT [00:52] rockets, at least i remember mark saying something similar, i'll hold him to it. The top right would fade over it some how.... [00:52] Maahes: how should I go about adhearing your suggestion? [00:52] liquidmeson, Mark as in Mark Shuttleworth?

[00:53] oss_sos: Why do you want a /dev/dsp? [00:54] Sayo: ....have you looked at your fstab? [00:54] Jordan_U: cause there are few applications that used it, is that not a good reason? [00:54] Maahes: i'd love to, you know the command to do that off hand? [00:54] liquidmeson, have you found any chrome themes that are a good match for the 10.10/unity theme? [00:54] Sayo, sudo mkdir /mnt/test and then mount to that folder, ie. sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/test [00:54] oss_sos: Have you tried running those applications with "padsp" or "aoss"? [00:55] gt [00:55] hey all [00:55] liquidmeson: so "/mnt" in the filesystem is just the activly mounted device? [00:55] Sayo: its a configuration file in /etc/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab [00:55] so you'd nano /etc/fstab [00:55] rockets, well i don't really user the clean themes i just use the designer ones, vincent at the moment from the google themes [00:55] also does anyone know if the nvidia beta drivers will be updated via a regular release, or will that have to be done manually? [00:56] dli: I use firestarter and share wifi connect with my call phone, but it's just local, not go out the internet! eth0 is internet, wlan0 is local. How do I set it internet? [00:56] liquidmeson: still hangs. said "killed" the first time i tried it, has hung every time since then i attempt to mount it [00:56] s/call/cell [00:56] rockets, vince* [00:56] Sayo: you may have a fucked up fstab [00:56] well, fstab is 3 lines long [00:57] should i print it here?

[01:00] !manual | kgunpowder [01:00] kgunpowder: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:00] well... my friend cant boot into any Ubuntu desktop. hes trying to boot into a live CD so he can install but all he gets are jumbled codes on his splash [01:00] Sayo, with the amount of time your spending i'd just go for a reinstall, assuming you got stuff backed up [01:00] Jordan_U: well it hangs after i attempt mount [01:01] liquidmeson: can't :/ [01:01] Azendale: alnet [01:01] It also said something about a missing file or something or another and he made sure to burn and download the file properly [01:01] Sayo: The entire screen? You can't do anything at all after running mount? [01:01] Azendale: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=2MpSZ5aR [01:01] Jordan_U: nothin. terminal just sits there blinking the cursour [01:01] and it's just when i mount my linux install at /dev/sdb5 [01:02] i think my friend is having the same problem as Sayo [01:02] Sayo: And you can't open another terminal after that? [01:02] Hi, is anyone here having problems with nvidia and hdmi audio? [01:02] Jordan_U: I can [01:02] Sayo: Then please do, then pastebin the output of "dmesg". [01:02] Maahes: the packages don't seem to exist anymore [01:02] Sayo: That will hopefully tell us why mount is hanging. [01:03] this is absolutely rediculous [01:03] Jordan_U: ugh i know this sounds so noob, but I can't copy the whole thing, it extends past the scroll limit [01:03] my phone can connect to my laptop via wifi. But it can't access to the internet, just local. How do I set it for accessing the internet. My laptop connect to the internet via eth0. [01:03] hi, why does the 10.10 iso require "overburn" to fit? is this normal? [01:03] jpmorgan: Distro's getting bigger. [01:03] jpmorgan: How large is your blank CD? It needs to be 700 meg. [01:04] i think 650mb - i dont think they come much bigger??

[01:05] uLinux: It is probably because both 127.0.0.1 and ::1 are given for localhost in the file. If you look at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/warning-hostname-localhost-resolves-to-2-ips-using-127-0-0-1-a-812950/ it sounds like it's ok to ignore. Is it causing you problems? [01:05] sin_tax, unetbootin is good [01:06] Azendale: the ::1 is ipv6 which i disabled [01:06] will do dli [01:06] using grub [01:06] jpmorgan: burn at low speed, and use verify [01:06] What is 10.10 hdmedia?

[01:06] Jordan_U: this all started after i just umounted /dev/sdb5 10 minutes ago using the -f flag i think, or -l [01:06] problem is the machine im putting 10.10 on doesnt have a dvd reader. ok thanks for suggestions [01:06] hey all , everytime i run my pc i got to readjust my monitor resolution to 1280x1024 every time it goes back to 1027x768 I use Ubuntu 10.10 [01:07] !minimal | jpmorgan [01:07] jpmorgan: 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 [01:07] hi all [01:07] sin_tax, make sure you choose the iso stored localy instead of redownloading it again through the application [01:07] uLinux: In that case, I'm guessing removing localhost from the ::1 line should do the trick. (You would need to open the file with root permissions, ie gksudo gedit /etc/hosts) [01:07] i have a problem about ubuntu one option in ubuntu's gnome [01:07] liquidmeson, that's what I'm doing, thanks [01:08] Azendale: ye sudo nano [01:08] i have registered for an account from http://one.ubuntu.com but i cant add it to ubuntu one in ubuntu 10.10 [01:08] Azendale: i have to restart networking? [01:08] yah i just grabbed the download from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download - i would think a hard 650mb ceiling might be a good idea for a widely distributed iso [01:09] uLinux: When every I've messed with /etc/hosts I didn't unless I changed the hostname (then things worked, but thought they were on a different computer) [01:09] Jordan_U: was that enough in that file, or is it missing too much? [01:09] hello everyone... is it possible to install ubu 10.10 to a usb hardrive from windows ? or do i have to do it by a livecd ?

[01:10] Sayo: Reboot then run "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda5" [01:10] i am using nero but the infrarecorder also reported it was too large an image [01:10] ok one second [01:11] Azendale: i commented out all the ipv6 liens [01:11] liens [01:11] jpmorgan: Most blank CDs are 700 meg. [01:11] sorry *lines [01:11] the theme for my GUI is all black with white text and for some reason my mail in evolution shows up as white text on a white page. How do fix? [01:11] Jordan_U: heard, brb [01:11] jpmorgan: You can also make a bootable USB to install from.

[01:13] jpmorgan: The last iso is also 700 meg :) [01:13] jpmorgan: They all have been for as long as I can remember. [01:13] yah i cant even find any more blank CDs, that was my last one. [01:13] you guys r useless -.- [01:13] thanks alot [01:13] i did see the minimal CD thanks [01:13] Centurion210 your going to need the livecd [01:13] lol [01:13] running steam on ubuntu? that would be great [01:13] -.- [01:13] probably virtual machine is the only option [01:13] well i thought so. thanks liquidmeson!

[01:33] I have a raid 5 setup (software) and mdadm is missing a dev id when looking at the --details of /dev/md0 Here are the results http://pastebin.ca/1961431 No, the copy/paste didn't get truncated, what should be /dev/sda1 just doesn't show up. [01:33] Should I be concerned or is this some how "normal"? [01:33] adilalpman, or go to applications> accessories > terminal and type ubuntuone-preferences [01:33] i tried [01:33] IdleOne: No errors [01:33] ka1ser: my laptop's WiFi card is one of the supported models [01:33] but nothing was happaned to [01:33] with alt+f2 [01:34] :S [01:34] just installed maverick on my buddy's compaq laptop. activated the most recent nvidia drivers, rebooted, and now the screen shows 6 screens all on the one. and the resolution is really skewed.

[01:34] it makes the system go so slow the mouse pointer stops [01:34] thelinuxlink.net [01:34] hmm [01:35] 10.10? There's a new distro already? === invisime1 is now known as invisime [01:35] ka1ser: BCM4306, vendor 14E4 dev 4320 subsys 03011468 rev 3 [01:35] W43372: new version [01:35] W43372: not sure what issues you are having with UI but may I suggest not running any commands without knowing what they do from now on :) [01:35] W43372: every 6 months. :-) [01:35] Lucid hasn't even been out for very long [01:35] W43372, awesome huh? [01:35] * RudyValencia is gonna try it [01:35] brb [01:36] IdleOne: My UI is white text on black. Except in evolution when it loads my mail the message shows up as white on white and I can't read it unless I highlight everything. === neon is now known as Guest87233 [01:36] i get error [01:37] W43372: sounds like you need to fix some settings in your theme [01:37] i am pasting it to paste.ubuntu.com now [01:37] wait pls [01:37] IdleOne: I'll fiddle around with it, I never thought of that. I just chose 'get more themes' and tooled around on that website that comes up [01:37] Is there a way short of reinstalling Maverick to get my desktop settings, display settings et all to default?

The one I had wouldn't let me change my colors. [01:39] Thanks everybody [01:39] Jordan_U, worked like a charm, any idea why i had to fix the disk?

[01:40] ah, working okay so far === Penquinx is now known as scifiguy [01:40] downloading file at the top speed [01:40] Hello, does somebody know why phppgmyadmin is not working in 10.10 please [01:40] I'll be back in a bit [01:40] liquidmeson:yes [01:41] shows up as roughly 1.20 in Ganglia [01:41] Wait, one more question. My laptop only has a half gig of RAM and I'm running Karmic. Is it expected that 77% of RAM is being used up by programs even when I'm not doing anything or is something screwy going on? [01:41] liquidmeson:i installed 1.2 days ago [01:41] 1-2 [01:41] I updated to 10.10 from 10.04, and I noticed the applications menu nested some things differently. E.g. the games menu had submenus for different genres. After reboot it went back to previous theme. How do I change it manually? [01:41] (XFCE, btw) [01:42] testing [01:42] W43372, propably, you might want to try one of the lighter netbook flavoured *buntus [01:42] liquidmeson:i cant unserdtand that webpage, how can i use it [01:42] :S [01:42] jose__: fail [01:42] yup ... totally fail [01:43] i'm just trying irssi [01:43] liquidmeson:can i im u? [01:43] W43372: linux in general uses free ram for buffers to make things faster. Drop to a terminal and type 'free' you should see a line with buffers, that's free ram used to cache and make things faster [01:43] Hmm. According to what people are saying when I find references in search, there should be something in the logon screen to let me choose between Unity and ubuntu-desktop. I'm just not seeing it. Wonder where it would be. === sorah_off is now known as sora_h [01:43] Jodaz: I'll take that into consideration. I'm trying to hold out until my next round of student loans after the new year to get a new machine [01:43] adilalpman, you can pm me in a new window in irc?

I'm assuming that the screen on which I log in is GDM, but the option still isn't there. Might I be logging in through something other than GDM? [01:54] for some reason whenever i start my computer, under NetworkManager.state , NetworkingEnabled=false. How can i change this to be true on startup? [01:54] jzitt, i believe its referring to selecting Unity as the session you wish to launch from the gdm [01:54] my keyboard bind alt + print is not working. how can i fix this [01:55] jzitt, at the bottom you should have a panel that has a sessions select box [01:55] mattgyver: OK, I'll give it another look. Gonna log out and see if it's there, then log back in and return. [01:56] Can someone tell me how I launch a Java *.jar file? [01:56] shafic, i think its java -jar file.jar [01:56] shafic, yeah it is [01:57] that is correct mattgyver [01:57] mattgyver ka1ser: wonderful, thank you [01:57] uLinux, take a peek in Preferences>Keyboard shortcuts and see if you can fix it there, not sure anything else really [01:58] yawnnn [01:58] mattgyver: already did :( [01:59] mattgyver: maybe it's a keyboard layout problem [01:59] what is a command to make output like for example i type: xinput without option and argument it gives me all options for "xinput", what is the command to make same result for command like ls [01:59] can someone point me in the direction of a good wireless troubleshooting document? [01:59] mattgyver: because i press alt + print i just dont work [01:59] Has anybody been able to get Chrome's built in PDF plugin working? I still get the missing plugin error :( [02:00] rockets, I havent messed with that but Just print to file and select pdf [02:00] MatBoy, that's not at all what I'm talking about. [02:00] erm mattgyver ^ [02:00] help [02:00] mattgyver: At the bottom of the logon screen I saw an icon for Universal Access settings, the time and date, and an icon for Shutdown Options. What do I do to choose the different desktop? [02:01] jzitt, you should have a sessions selection too but its possible it only appears if you have more than one desktop environment installed [02:01] jzitt, can you link me to the reference you were looking at previously? [02:01] mattgyver: if there is a error where what log should i check? [02:02] nikola, man or info should give you detailed information for packages if thats what your trying to figure out [02:02] 这 [02:03] mattgyver: Nothing on going *from* Unity *to* ubuntu-desktop, but several the other way, such as http://www.ubuntugeek.com/new-unity-release-ready-for-testing-in-ubuntu-10-1010-04.html [02:03] uLinux: alt+printscreen not working is a known bug, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/metacity/+bug/642792 [02:04] jzitt: logout, choose gnome as the session instead of unity, you are no longer using unity [02:04] the short version is that the sysrq functionality in the keyboard is eating it before it gets to X (may be specific to some layouts, oddly) [02:04] Dulak: the question is: How do I choose gnome as the seeion instead of Unity? [02:04] shauno: ty [02:04] jzitt: from the session dropdown box on the login page [02:05] hi guys someone have driver for video sis mirage? [02:05] OK, my system crashed. I have a trace in syslog.

[02:05] mattgyver, i find info and man too long for some short info i need.i want as simple as possible list of all options for specific command , similar to one when you give a command that require options, and if you dont give option, it gives short list of options that go with that commansd, similar if you just type xinput [02:05] jzitt, should be there [02:06] jzitt: click your login name, at the bottom you should see a sessions button or dropdown box appear [02:06] ka1ser: what do I do now that I'm back after b43 crashing [02:06] I can't see a the whole message in a window. Here's part of it though... "It is impossible to install or remove any software. Us the package manager synaptic or run sudo apt-get install" and then I can't see anymore [02:06] jzitt: it only shows up once you select a user, since it is user specific [02:06] nikola, yeah ive never seen a program to do quite that, some commands if you execute them it will give you just the options but not all [02:06] Dulak: Are you saying that the sutton appears only after I click on my name? [02:07] yep [02:07] Can anyone tell me how to get ANSI emulation to work for telnet BBSes. I' [02:07] OK, logging out to try it.

[02:13] if i go to gksu gedit /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state, NetworkingEnabled=false. every time, i have to turn it to true, save it, and reboot for it to take effect, and it only lasts for one power up [02:13] so how do I do it again the right way? [02:14] just follow the directions? [02:14] doing so now [02:14] brb [02:17] Dulak: Thanks, that worked. None of the pages that I searched aid that the setting appears only after you select the user, which is one logical way to do it, but only obvious in retrospect. [02:17] hi [02:17] to all [02:17] Well I'll try this again [02:17] can anyone help me [02:18] i m looking for an ebook on ubuntu 10.10 for free [02:18] any links guys?

[02:22] let's see if our issue is resolved [02:22] i want to cross-compile toward arm - what packages do i need to do this? [02:23] ChogyDan: cause i dont need it [02:23] uLinux, someone may need to correct me if im wrong but I think you can remove from /etc/rc2.d/ your cups init script, its probably something like S50cups [02:23] Hey, I installed Kubuntu from a DVD and it seems that the DVD contained packages for every language known to man [02:23] can someone shine some light on libdvdcss, is it legal in the u.s? is this just on linux or all OS's [02:23] I am upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 [02:23] Is there a way I can choose to redownload 500 language packs? [02:23] well, removing the symlink that is, not the script itself [02:23] or something [02:23] i specifically want libc [02:23] codesourcery toolchains is a good one mgmuscari =) [02:24] mgmuscari, http://www.ailis.de/~k/archives/19-ARM-cross-compiling-howto.html [02:24] how do i change the backgrounds on the other workspaces without it changing all of them? [02:24] mattgyver: uLinux: it is /etc/init/cups.conf I believe [02:24] mattgyver: K00cups [02:24] ka1ser: thanks... any idea what the package name for the arm version of libc is? [02:24] mattgyver I think it is better to remove it with update-rc.d [02:24] can someone shine some light on libdvdcss, is it legal in the u.s? is this just on linux or all OS's... I am asking bc I am unsure if I should install [02:24] I cant install software from kubuntu dvd, when the system is installed in hdd. [02:25] ka1ser: i'm actually already using devkitpro - but i need to get at some of the libc stuff that isn't included in it (specifically sys/select.h, maybe some others...) [02:25] ChogyDan, thats the conf file though, im specifically talking about the init script that is fired off on boot which points to /init.d/cups [02:25] Sickler: the software is legal but what you do with it might not be. you can copy your own personal dvd disks like famaly video. just not copywrited stuf [02:25] Sickler: it is illegal to play DVDs in the US without paying a license fee [02:26] mgmuscari, this might be better, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1087057 [02:26] ChogyDan: you mean if I create a DVD and make it gnu (free) people in usa still have to pay a licencse fee? [02:27] liquidmeson_: thanks [02:27] i just came across dietlibc [02:27] which looks like it can target arm [02:27] i'm going to try linking against it [02:27] sacarlson: nah, only if the encoding is hollywood encrypted [02:27] sacarlson: ChogyDan: not concerned with copy, ripping, pirating. Thats not my cup of tea. But if i play a netflex movie on my computer with or a new simpsons dvd i bought.... these are clear of legal dilemmas [02:27] sacarlson: encryption* [02:28] ok guys one more question..i want to see Social Network (movie) for free...any links [02:28] :) [02:28] how do i get adobe flash player 10 for chromium? [02:28] !piracy [02:28] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [02:28] ChogyDan: you might be right about that. maybe there is other methods of encryption you could use like divx [02:28] lol for a second i thought that piracy message was directed at the guy looking for flash player [02:28] hello heres my problem. When playing flash games certain keyes don't work, such as the asdfg. Please helped i have installed two different linuxes with the same result [02:28] i am scared [02:29] ChogyDan: divx still plays in my dvd player [02:29] I am trying to help my friend's wireless card work on meerkat.

[02:29] hi there, I've a little prob here, I know that using the sticky bit on a directory (g+s) cause every file and dir created inside of it inherit the parent group, question: is there something like that but for the user? I mean, making the files and dirs inherit the user stuff? [02:30] so im new and nobody even helps :'( [02:30] the troubleshooting guide leads me in circles at this point.

[02:31] hey guys, today in the middle of the afternoon, Google Chrome just decided to stop working. It died and then when I tried to start it back up, it would open a window and immediately close it. After repeated attempts and attempted re-installs it doesn't even open a window at all now. I checked the error logs and I'm getting a bunch of these: "chrome[9674]: segfault at aed3ebf2 ip ad92ccec sp bf949e80 error 6 in IcedTeaP [02:31] lugin.so[ad925000+2e000]". I'd say it's a bug in the current version of chrome except I've tried both unstable and stable and I hadn't updated chrome when this started. It's weird. Searching google didn't turn up anything useful. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know what could cause it? How to fix it? Thanks. [02:31] linux_is_my_hero, you can always install from adboe's site, i think it fires apt which walks you through the same thing too [02:31] hello all please someone tell me from where can I learning php on very good level. :) [02:31] mattgyver: there is a /etc/init/cups.conf maybe i can use that? [02:32] where the files are stored on ubuntu dvd? [02:32] uLinux, yeah if it has an option to disable on startup you could i guess, im not sure [02:32] mattgyver: it says "start on (filesystem" [02:33] i'll try "never" [02:33] uLinux: just comment out that start on lines [02:33] with # right [02:33] invisime: I'm not sure but that might use the same driver that this article has a solution for http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=982808......This === Guest56653 is now known as Mobidoy [02:33] nobody?

Ive done this in Debian stable and it works fine so I know what Im doing. Is this an APTonCD bug or a core system bug. [02:38] oh wait... might have answered my own question..... I uninstalled the icedtea plugin and now it's working.... anyone know what the icedtea plugin is and why it would cause this? [02:38] What do I do? Switch to ndiswrapper? [02:38] seismicmike, icedtea i think is basically an open source java plugin [02:39] RudyValencia: you can try it and if it works fine for you then I don't see why you can not use it [02:39] hey guys [02:39] LinuxGuy2009: I think I've seen that bug before [02:39] It works with ndiswrapper AFAIK [02:39] last time I tried it did [02:39] hmmmm, maybe that was recently updated..... no... I did a grep "icedtea" /var/log/apt/history.log and the only entries are from when I just removed it. [02:40] how do I report the error to Ubuntu? [02:40] seems quite odd to me that it would start in the middle of the afternoon...... [02:40] I can't see my Applications dropdown. i've just updated to 10.10. [02:40] I have CompizConfig installed, if that helps with my problem :s [02:40] Can someone help me with this? [02:40] you might want to check also you have no other wireless driver running which might cause conflict... [02:40] I don't [02:40] also, that you are running latest version of b43 [02:40] b43 is part of the kernel [02:41] and I'm using 2.6.32-25 (the latest Lucid kernel) [02:41] and what is the error you are getting?

[02:41] alpha232, sudo iftop -i eth0 and eth1 in another terminal [02:41] hi, if I already installed "Ubuntu Restricted 'blabla'" Do I need to install "KUbuntu Restricted" also? Service Packs..

[02:41] boa noite pessoal [02:42] alguem pode me ajudar? [02:42] that will at least establish a baseline that will allow you to open your menu. From there try to re-enable your compiz features and see if that takes care of it [02:42] this is assuming you're on gnome.

[03:16] I've distro upgraded to Meerkat, enabled Compiz PPA, after rebooting my compositing is gone :( [03:16] blaahabalahh lflaf afndlkaj [03:16] goo byd [03:16] R0B0G3N3S1S, this game looks okay.... but it doesn't do anything [03:16] i have installed QEMU on my Ubuntu 10.04 and I have downloaded the Linux-2.6.35.7 source code [03:16] gnea you have to do missions [03:16] <^DEMOSS^> When you have more things and knowloges about Linux - you may go to repair Ubuntu and build new good distro [03:16] then you can go and kick some other ppls arsses [03:16] AegNuddel, it's a dark necessity [03:17] windows 7 isn't too bad, but I had some stability issues. I also pirated it, though, so you sorta get what you pay for >_> [03:17] ^DEMOSS^, why? IMO You're a troll, recommending other OSes in an Ubuntu channel [03:17] how to i install this Linux-2.6.35.7 to a virtual machine in QEMU [03:17] ? [03:17] <^DEMOSS^> i an not troll [03:17] R0B0G3N3S1S, I selected a mission, it highlights a square, but I can't do anything. i look at the controls howto, they don't work. it's the game that's broken, not ubuntu. [03:17] QEMU? people still use that? [03:17] OK I see what's wrong [03:17] AHemlocksLie, even if you do pay, you WILL have the issues [03:17] heeeelllppp_ [03:17] apparently my WiFi and Ethernet on this laptop conflict. [03:17] can anyone help me reinstalling Compiz? [03:17] <^DEMOSS^> AegNuddel i use debian on server and ubuntu in my ASUS k60IC [03:17] mikeru: what should i use instead? [03:17] AegNuddel, some OS's are better for some functions better than others [03:17] how do i set the boot record under the terminal [03:17] did you try to click on the arrows then click on the windows and then click on the arrows.. cause it works for me to move [03:17] *sigh* I guess I have to dig up a WiFi Cardbus card. [03:18] wow are we busy tonight. i have a client that has downloaded a tar.gz an azurelea something how is that installed via aptitude [03:18] mikeru: virtualbox...? [03:18] I hate having to use a card but eh [03:18] R0B0G3N3S1S, there are no arrows, just little triangles [03:18] rigved, AFAIK VirtualBox is faster [03:18] william_, for tar.gz files you have to extract them to a folder [03:18] and much better. I mean, QEMU doesn't even have a GUI [03:18] can anyone tell me how to set boot records under linux? [03:18] Gnea, ok sure, but for my purposes I have found Winblows inadequate. [03:18] <^DEMOSS^> AegNuddel see how working debian - i can say, that if you wanna work and relax - use debian.... Wanna get fun and repair errors for every update - use Ubuntu [03:18] mikeru: ok, i have that too [03:18] sure, it may have some frontends, but those just wrap around the command line interface and suck [03:19] liquidmeson_: All those methods are just different ways of verifying MD5, so I guess if 1 fails we can assume the disk is actually bad.. isn't it? [03:19] manu__: you looking for your boot sequence? ie grub. [03:19] william_, then look for a install help file [03:19] no direction pad????? on your keyboard [03:19] no [03:19] mikeru: but i do not know to install Linux-2.6.35.7 into a virtual machine crated under VirtualBox [03:19] rigved, as for installing that specific kernel version... [03:19] AegNuddel, yeah, I'm just using it in the interim until I get ubuntu working again... schoolwork tends to take priority hehe [03:19] gnea on your keyboard [03:19] mikeru: best thign I have found with virtualbox is that you can allow or NOT allow the VM to have control of certain hardware [03:19] gurjeet, the last method is the best method and the other methods won't work [03:19] PryMaL, virtualbox is teh best [03:20] @przmal i have windows 7 on sda1 and unluck set boot record to sda3 [03:20] R0B0G3N3S1S, yeah, they don't do anything. nothing happens on the screen. [03:20] need windows for work :( [03:20] see him trry and talk to me now [03:20] try [03:20] liquidmeson: which i did extract so is it the install help file that will give instructions or that is what I aptitude install [03:20] it does for me... did you click the game screem>< this bums me out [03:20] manu__: so you want to dual boot? ie. windows OR linux? [03:20] talk down to me, get the treatment you deseve. [03:20] sorry for wrong spelling keyboard is set wierd [03:20] deserve. [03:20] aegnuddel: maybe, but I think there's something wrong with the hardware in that comp. I think it's the power supply's too weak, so the added graphics polish ups the load on the graphics card, which ups the load on the supply, so poof, power cycle [03:21] liquidmeson_: you mean `md5sum -c md5sums.txt` is not reliable? [03:21] gurjeet, even if it fails you could always try installing anyway, or you could make a live usb instead of live cd! instructions on the ubuntu.com site [03:21] mikeru: ok...but is there some option under virtualbox which allow me to install the basic linux-2.6.35.7 [03:21] gurjeet, well... that should work... :( [03:21] rigved, what's the use of a kernel without userland? [03:21] really hates using live dvds [03:21] AHemlocksLie, what computer? I don't know anything about that game and this is the first time I have even looked at it [03:22] how can I check what cpu scaling ubuntu is using for my processor? is there a file it's located in? [03:22] william_, there are a few ways to install stuff, the best way is to search for it in the ubuntu software center [03:22] mikeru: i want to understand kernel programming, so i want to test it under a virtual machine [03:22] @PryMal should be the mbr [03:22] nooooooooooooooooooooooooo i loved the game... now it's single player [03:22] anyone have experience with getting laptop wireless card Netgear WG511 to work? [03:22] rigved, you need a way to interface with the kernel [03:22] I have the windows drivers, but ndiswrapper refuses to function, so I got p54pci to work, and it does to a degree, but I'm getting a lot of connection issues [03:22] aaand judging by how quiet it is, I'm having more of those issues now [03:22] william_, tar.gz files are old school install from scratch, if you can find a .deb file it is the same as a .exe on windows aka easy [03:22] liquidmeson: and where is that found. we did the add remove and it did not pick up the app [03:23] I just updated from 9.10 to 10.4 (lts)...the old kernel works the new kernel boots up with no display. What could be the problem? [03:23] rigved, now, if you already have a distro installed, AFAIK you just compile the kernel inside it and install it [03:23] I want to boot windows on sda1 current record is sda3 [03:23] R0B0G3N3S1S, seriously, none of the keys on mykeyboard are doing anything to the game to make it react [03:23] william_, what are you installing, if i might ask? [03:23] mikeru, yes and but also a way to test new things without hurting my system [03:23] @PryMal:I want to boot windows on sda1 current record is sda3 [03:23] liquidmeson: would the deb be in the extracted files [03:23] aegnuddel: my desktop PC, it's been through a couple upgrades, and my last graphics card caused some real instability issues. Windows 7 just made them worse, I Think because of how they polished everything up to make it all pretty and therefore more demanding on the graphics card [03:23] yeah he took out multiplayer... no more server, damn hackers. [03:23] rigved, I'm confused @_@ [03:23] liquidmeson: vuze is the install whatever that is [03:23] it's gone gb for now gotta take a showewr [03:23] rigved, anyway, I'm not a kernel expert [03:24] sorry [03:24] ok [03:24] AHemlocksLie, oh! I see! Makes sense to me. M$ is all skin-deep... [03:24] william_, if you open the software center search for azureus [03:25] william_, that is the same thing as vuzu [03:25] mikeru, that ok [03:25] How can I get out of text only mode? [03:25] aegnuddel: yeah, if I actually tried to play a GAME? the AUDACITY [03:25] AHemlocksLie, yeah...I guess that would be hard [03:26] yeah, took me forever to figure it out, but someone finally suggested that was likely the problem [03:26] alguem aqui fala portugues [03:26] liquidmeson: thank you i have installed from debian server before but not from a third party tar.gz and the software center would be found where [03:26] i want to make changes to the linux kernel and test this new kernel in a safe environment without effecting my environment [03:26] JoeCoolMobile, not to sound funny, how did you get into it? normal boot, or did you switch ttys with crtl+alt+f? [03:26] espanol [03:26] makes perfect sense in retrospect, really, but it never occurred to me that my power supply, of all things, would be causing the problems === adrian is now known as Guest34744 [03:26] mattgyver, updated to MM, restarted. [03:27] can't boot into th GUI [03:27] okay, is anyone in anyway good at fixing wifi issues? I gotta get this figured out [03:27] william_, I would suggest updating your system, it is probably out of date, this can be done from System> admin> update manager [03:27] JoeCoolMobile, Ctrl+Alt+F7 [03:27] JoeCoolMobile, try issuing a 'sudo telinit 2' and see if it gets you in [03:27] AHemlocksLie: still working on this? any progress [03:27] william_, software center should appear in the top left under applications [03:27] mattgyver, nothing [03:28] km0201, someone suggested I use p54pci, and it's working to a degree, but it's really unstable wifi. Usually takes a minute or two to connect to stuff, then whether it's gonna be fast or slow is a coin toss, and it sometimes likes to drop all together [03:28] @PryMal> Do you now how to do it? [03:28] liquidmeson: ok thanks I will take this info to work tomorrow and will be able to help the client better [03:28] AHemlocksLie: hmm. [03:28] km0201 so I just dropped the ndiswrapper problem for a new one [03:28] liquidmeson: have a good night [03:28] lol [03:29] How do I move the boot record from sda3 to sda1? [03:29] km0201 really, I think ndiswrapper is my best bet, but nobody can help me fix that, so I dunno if I can really do much with that [03:29] JoeCoolMobile, if tieinv's suggestion doesnt work reboot and hold shift, and see if you have multiple grub entries, dont select a rescue mode [03:29] william_, good luck [03:29] AHemlocksLie: yeah.. i really don't understand the problem w/ ndiswrapper [03:29] km0201 maybe if I could get it to compile right and install from that, but I can't get that to happen, so I'm outta luck there [03:30] AHemlocksLie: why do you think you'd n eed to compile it, vs using the version in the repos? [03:30] alguien habla español? [03:30] ??? [03:30] !es | Guest34744 [03:30] Guest34744: 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. [03:30] km0201 I have no idea, but I'm willing to try anything at this point [03:30] !es | guest347 [03:30] guest347: 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. [03:30] i want to make changes to the linux kernel and test this new kernel in a safe environment without effecting my environment [03:30] mattgyver, why not [03:31] how do i install the basic linux-2.6.35.7 kernel to virtualbox? [03:31] Why unity's global menu works fine but indicator-app-menu is so glitchy? [03:31] JoeCoolMobile, sorry my thought kinda ended there lol, select a different entry that does not say rescue mode, you can use rescue mode but it wont start x [03:31] km0201 it finds a half dozen errors in one of the source files, but that can't be right because they'd have fixed it by now and it wouldn't be all over the internet saying to use it [03:31] tieinv, did something but its on a b?anl line [03:31] km0201 and even if they wouldn't have fixed it, my second point still stands, people wouldn't say use it [03:31] mattgyver, none of the different entried do anything dfferent. [03:32] JoeCoolMobile, ok [03:32] AHemlocksLie: ok, so you tried to compile ndiswrapper, and then installed ndisgtk from the repos, which then apparently installed the version of ndiswrapper, from the repos. [03:32] can anyone help me? [03:33] manu__: ask your question [03:33] How do I list files in a directory from the command line? [03:33] dan5790: ls [03:33] ls /directory [03:33] hi, quick question [03:33] How do I move the boot record from sda3 to sda1? [03:33] how can run fsck [03:33] km0201 yeah. Before I installed Ubuntu, while in Windows, I researched a bit and built a setup pack, which was ndiswrapper to compile from source and the windows drivers to use with it. When that wouldn't compile, someone suggested using ndisgtk, which grabbed ndiswapper-common and -utils-1.9 at installation [03:33] !fsck | emmanuel [03:33] emmanuel: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [03:33] ubuntu 10.04, how do i get bluetooth working? [03:34] !bluetooth | glithcd [03:34] glithcd: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [03:34] km0201 that, however, didn't have an ndiswrapper.ko file until I ran depmod -a, I believe it was, at which point it changed to module ndiswrapper not found [03:34] mattgyver, still stuck [03:34] thanks a lot [03:34] that's a quick answer [03:34] !help [03:34] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:34] manu__, the sda3 is just a name, give us more info. ex, i need more space for my windows install or windows dosen't show in the menu [03:35] km0201 and no amount of asking in IRC, googling, or forum combing has done anything to resolve the inability to find the ndiswrapper module [03:35] hmm [03:35] km0201 which really doesn't make sense to me, considering that ndiswrapper works as a command at the command prompt, making me inclined to believe it's there [03:35] I unlucky set the boot record to sda3, windows boot loader and windows are installed under sda1. I want to boot windows again [03:35] yea.. [03:36] AHemlocksLie: i wish i had a good answer. [03:36] at the moment it is booting on empty partition sda3 ... can't find a boot loader, since there isn't one [03:36] manu__, applications >accessories > terminal, type in: sudo update-grub [03:36] How to I post large amounts of code as a link? [03:36] km0201 and even after blacklisting prism54, it's still showing (alternat driver: prism54) when I run ndiswrapper -l, which is mind boggling, and not even modprobe -r prism54 or rmmod prism54 can change that [03:36] !paste | soulwarp [03:36] soulwarp: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [03:37] i only have a boot linux [03:37] KM0201, thank you [03:37] don't have grup [03:37] i need to do it on the terminal [03:37] manu__, are windows and ubuntu in the same computer [03:37] how to set up transmission to connect to trackers via proxy? any guide available? [03:37] km0201 what if it's a problem with my ndiswrapper.ko? that was missing initially, perhaps it's pointing something in the wrong direction [03:37] manu__: you probably have grub, it's just skipping it because it's only detected 1 OS... Linux requires grub to load the kernel... [03:37] no upuntu is on usb stick [03:38] had it lucky with me [03:38] I DONT HAVE GRUP [03:38] menu__, if you pull out the usb stick it should go back to windows [03:38] i just moved to xubuntu from ubuntu and i am finding that i miss a lot of the natulius shortcuts (like F3 to get a split window) is there a way I can get these into thunar or to which over to natilus [03:39] IT WONT GO BACK TO LINUX [03:39] I'm having trouble mounting a Sony DVD+RW disc. I insert it and does not mount. Here is my /etc/fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/512833/ [03:39] Linux is running on dev/usba1 [03:40] soulwarp: Is it blank? [03:40] I know a lot about systems, linux windows and mac the only thing is i never changed the mbr on linux shell [03:40] how can i enable automatic sending email from evolution while evolution is closed i.e right click file, sento email ? [03:40] manu__, so when you turn on the computer you see ubuntu, it works good? [03:40] I don't even have a gnome enviroment [03:41] no when i turn it on off again it says there is nothing to boot on the partition .... mbr cannot be found [03:41] hdd is visible and mountable unter shell [03:41] bobthemilkman, The person who gave me the disc says it works on her Windows. It was recorded on her camera. [03:41] it looks as working [03:41] it is impossible to install software from dvd source in (k)?ubuntu. there's a bug. [03:41] Hi all, are there any good applications for syncing your ipod with ubuntu? [03:41] the boot record is set to the wrong partition on sda [03:41] (I have the ipod touch 4) [03:41] manu__, what windows was on there before? 7 xp, vista? [03:42] windows 7 [03:42] no bikcmp [03:42] nathanieljohnson: no? dang [03:42] manu__, put in the 7 disk and look for a repair option [03:42] I don't have the installer cd [03:42] bobthemilkman, My theory is her windows used some kind of compression not common with linux UDF auto mounting [03:42] i m in canada and all my stuff is in germany [03:42] bikcmp: i believe the touch, you have to jailbreak in order to make it work w/ Linux.. [03:42] KM0201: it is jailbroken. [03:42] bobthemilkman, but the disc was made using her camera... [03:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod [03:42] !ipod | bikcmp [03:42] bikcmp: 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 [03:43] thanks :) [03:43] manu__, http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [03:44] liquidmeson_: I nither have a cd nor a second usb stick nor a burner [03:46] hi i try sudo shutdown -F -r now to force fsck to check the disk for bad sector [03:46] manu__, so if you don't have the windows disk then there is no way to have ONLY windows on the laptop.. I would recomend using the usb stick and booting ubuntu [03:46] but it did not check [03:46] anything wrong i did [03:46] ? [03:46] thanks [03:46] I'm having a problem with Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on my high-end PC. It takes a long time to boot and get to the desktop. It also takes a long time to install and the install stalls in the download package and installing system phase. It also takes a long time to switch to console after pressing ctrl-alt-f1.

[03:47] i can connect to my wired network but i cant open the internet. need help real bad. i have been trying to fix this for weeks. no ones yet to help me. plz help!!!!!!!!!!1 [03:47] i don't have a installer. It is a live linux i used for showing some people linux [03:48] i don't have a installer. It is a live linux i used for showing some people linux liquidmeson [03:48] Hello? [03:48] !hi | Starn [03:48] bah, I forget that factoid is gone. [03:48] manu__, the ubuntu live usb should have a installer on the desktop [03:48] i just moved to xubuntu from ubuntu and i am finding that i miss a lot of the natulius shortcuts (like F3 to get a split window) is there a way I can get these into thunar or to which over to natilus [03:48] hello everyone [03:49] i can connect to my wired network but i cant open the internet. need help real bad. i have been trying to fix this for weeks. no ones yet to help me. plz help!!!!!!!!!! [03:49] hxcjonnysniper: When you say you can't open the internet, meaning you can't get a browser to open? [03:49] what does this help m [03:49] i ran into an major issue upgrading 10.04 to 10.10.. it Crashed at about 80% and now i can not boot into ubuntu i just get some command line grub. can someone help me? do i have to redo ubuntu installation like everything lost? [03:49] I have installed remastersys from soft center, but it haven't created any shortcut, how to run it, does it need any other supporting packages? [03:49] hxcjonnysniper: probably stating the obvious, but i assume other devices on the network have internet access? [03:49] Starn: You might be able to recover grub, let me find the factoid [03:50] liquidmeson_, i need windows 7 again .... and this is installed on sda1 [03:50] h00k: i can get the browser open but it wont load anything at all. [03:50] ubottu: i did not check for filesystem check during reboot [03:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:50] thanks h00k. i'm not to great with grub or command line stuff. [03:50] !grubrepair | Starn [03:50] Starn: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [03:50] Starn: follow the RestoreGrub wiki [03:50] can i not set the active partion of a hard disc with fdisk? [03:51] hxcjonnysniper: Are you sure your network is set up proper? Does it work with other machines? [03:51] !remastersys [03:51] The Live CD boot pauses at the welcome to ubuntu console prompt and then i get a gui-less background and then later it then asks if i want to try ubuntu or install ubuntu, if I select try buntu, it pauses and then goes to blank screen, pauses and then goes to gui-less background, pauses and then the desktop [03:51] Why doesn't Ubuntu include the patch from Debian to fix b43 crashing due to the 3c59x in my lappy? [03:51] can anyone explain what this does? sed -r 's/^\?[ ]+//' [03:51] ok h00k i hope this fixes the issue i have. i dislike command line grub thingy [03:51] (per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586967) [03:51] Starn: good luck [03:51] h00k: yeah it works with other machines. and i can get on the internet on this laptop but only through wireless. [03:51] hello anybody can help regarding remastersys [03:51] manu__, before windows starts there is a loader (windows boot strap or grub) it seems your missing the windows boot strap and no grub... so you have to install grub since you have no windows cd [03:52] Could it have something to do with my hardware? There is no problem running Ubuntu 10.10 in VirtualBox. [03:52] hxcjonnysniper: Is your network card getting an IP address? [03:52] h00k:idk [03:52] hxcjonnysniper: do you know where to check? okay [03:52] h00k:no. [03:52] hxcjonnysniper: Go to System -> Administration -> Network Tools [03:53] does anyone else have the same mobo and vidcard? [03:53] manuu, grub can start windows, in the terminal try typing sudo grub-install /dev/sda [03:53] h00k: okay what now? [03:53] manuu__, grub can start windows, in the terminal try typing sudo grub-install /dev/sda [03:53] hxcjonnysniper: on that first tab, 'Devices' pick your ethernet card (eth0) [03:53] does it show an IP address? [03:53] hxcjonnysniper: ^ [03:53] KeithWeisshar: does it eventually get to the desktop?.. that sounds pretty normal to me... [03:54] h00k: okay ipv4 says it 0.0.0.0 [03:54] hxcjonnysniper: It sounds like you're not getting an IP address. Do you know if your network card is functioning properly? [03:54] liquidmeson_, it is a hp notebook, i changed the boot order to usb, harddrive, ... to get online somehow ... we linux has a kind of bootloader, but i don't really know which bootloader [03:55] h00k:yeah it is. i ran a ping on it and it was fine wired and wireless. [03:55] i cannot install anything to the usb stick, i tryed alreadz [03:55] it takes about five minutes to get to the desktop [03:55] With Ubuntu, is it better to use a USB Wireless card or a PCI one? [03:56] i would need to install the easypeasy linux first on a harddrive which i don't want [03:56] hxcjonnysniper: you won't be able to ping out if it's not getting an IP address [03:56] it takes between 5 to 10 minutes to fully load the desktop [03:57] manu__, when your in the usb live try running that command [03:57] h00k: well under wired network it used to have auto eth0. it doesnt even have that now. [03:57] i lost my touch sensitive button functions from moving from gnome to xfce (ubuntu to xubuntu) how do i fix this [03:57] manu__, that doesn't install to usb that installs to hard drive [03:57] mattgyver, I fianlly got MM workng after a weeks worth of work and recompilinh the kernel from source [03:58] it doesn't I tryed! [03:58] I'm trying to switch to Linux on a dinosaur of a computer. An old Compaq 500 Mhz 512MB RAM w/80GB HDD. I installed Xubuntu, everyone went fine, but when I open system monitor, my CPU usage shows 97-100%. Is there a better distro to run on such an old computer, or can I free up some resources somehow? [03:58] manu__, what does it say? [03:58] and i don't want to overwrite my windows either [03:58] hxcjonnysniper: does your network card have a link light on it? There should be a light that stays on, and one that flashes on-and-off with activity [03:58] keith2, lubuntu its brand new :D [03:58] anyone here familiar with ndiswrapper problems? when I try to modprobe ndiswrapper, I get FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not foudn [03:58] lubuntu would be my choice, but hae you looked in the processes, to see what is causing the resource spike? [03:59] anyone know how to achieve an oem install of the netbook edition? [03:59] h00k: i dont have a network card. im trying to get a wired connection. [03:59] liquidmeson, cannot find / [03:59] hxcjonnysniper: right, I mean where the network cable plugs in, you should have lights there [03:59] I will check it out. Not yet on the processes but even if I start a simple game like quad system resources max out [04:00] h00k: it is lit up green. not blinking. or anything. just green. [04:00] liquidmeson which makes sence since it is read only ... the image is but to the usb stick like a read only cd [04:01] hxcjonnysniper: So, you have a link, but it's not giving you an IP. Can you right click on the network applet -> edit connections [04:01] liquidmeson the bootloader is neither lilo nor grup [04:01] h00k: okay did it. [04:01] One of my runlevel 2 scripts is prevents my system from booting. Is there any way to make Ubuntu start in runlevel 1? [04:01] I kind of installed both netbook and desktop versions and its flickering insanely [04:01] hxcjonnysniper: Under 'Wired' you should see 'Auto eth0,' does that exist? [04:01] I want a networked laser printer for home network that Linux, Leopard, XP and Windows 7 can Access. Anyone know of a printer for me? [04:02] h00k:yeah.

The new Ubuntu installer is complaining I don't have 2.4 GB free. Checking back in Windows 7, I have the entirety of my second Hard Drive as "Unallocated." There is no option to format, merely to add a volume. This is correct, right? But it still doesn't like it. [04:07] hxcjonnysniper: I'd say re-ask the channel to see if someone else can help, also include more details like you have link light, no activity light, no IP, etc [04:07] will fsck will not do it? [04:07] Snowflame: how big is the unallocated space [04:07] or at least remedy it? [04:07] Snowflame: use custom partitioning to make 10Gb for /, 1xRAM amount for swap and the rest for /home [04:08] i lost my touch sensitive button functions from moving from gnome to xfce (ubuntu to xubuntu) how do i fix this [04:08] It's a 1TB drive. [04:08] h00k:appreciate it. im going to fucking delete this shit fuck ubuntu! [04:08] hxcjonnysniper: please watch your language. [04:08] Okay, so I should just format it myself from a shell?

[04:08] KeithWeisshar: half, but its release, its a bit immature yet [04:08] I have two 1 TB drives. The intent was to give Linux all of this drive. [04:09] i'm havingn a problem getting it installed and running [04:09] if someone does like ubuntu, you better get off here [04:09] *does not like [04:09] Currently within Windows it looks like System (100 MB), C: (931 GB), and "Unallocated." [04:09] Snowflame: if you use my advice you will be fine, all the partitions will be primary and the / and /home partitions will be ext4 [04:09] i didn't have any issue with the previous version [04:09] what's wrong with ubuntu 10.10 [04:10] Anyway, worst comes to worst, I'll just use your advice, Parsnip. [04:10] KeithWeisshar: well, nothing's wrong w/ it, whats the problem? [04:10] i'm not sure i'd make a 800gb /home.. but that's just my thinking. [04:10] To set up disk space limits for users, i should go through the tutorials for Quota or is there something better? [04:10] When I installed Ubuntu 8.10 for dual-boot it did all the partitioning for me but I suppose I shouldn't be scared as I did hand-parition a Debian build back in the day. Just spoiled nowadays. [04:10] how do i specify what driver to configure whith "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"? [04:11] Snowflame: it means you can reinstall without deleting your home ;). Also makes backups easier [04:11] Snowflame: if you've partitioned for linux before, you should have no problem. [04:11] i lost my touch sensitive button functions from moving from gnome to xfce (ubuntu to xubuntu) how do i fix this [04:13] unable to complete installation [04:13] KeithWeisshar: well that's not really telling much.. why? [04:13] KeithWeisshar: ready the fire extinguisher! [04:13] is it glowing bright red and shouting in Klingon? [04:14] stalls in installating system phase after downloading packages, i have both install updates and install third party packages ticked [04:15] hi there! [04:15] if one of those servers is unreachable, it might fail that way [04:15] KeithWeisshar: 32 or 64bit, and have you considered the alternate install cd? [04:15] the install stalls with progress bar about 80% of screen [04:15] soulwarp, sorry, afk'd a sec. I installed ndisgtk, which installed ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9, but it's apparently still not gonna work. ndiswrapper still works as a command line command, though, which confuses me a little [04:15] can someone help me install a webcam on Ubuntu 10.04 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.

[04:19] ActionParsnip, 256 has been working since beta i believe [04:19] Zwei: type `mount` to see where it is mounted, navigate there with `cd` [04:21] Zwei, "cd ~/.gvfs" if it's automatically mounted [04:21] ZykoticK9: there's nothing in .gvfs [04:22] Zwei, then check the output of "mount" [04:22] Hello everyone.

[04:31] freakabcd, server has no gui - basically only difference. it's easier for people to install services on desktop, then a gui on server! [04:32] uh, ok.. so basically desktop without X and associated libs/apps ? [04:32] ActionParsnip: yeah thats what I'm looking at and it doesn't have very current information about Dell server hardware === marc is now known as Guest84429 [04:33] hux: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/ [04:33] ok, i'll simply get the desktop iso === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12p|afk [04:33] Hmph. Well this is frustrating. For those tuning in now, I'm trying to convince Ubuntu that there's a whole 1 TB hard drive waiting for it, but it can't find it. The auto-installer complains about not enough space with no elaboration or options. [04:33] Attempting to use fsck or Gparted also seems to fail. [04:34] I just installed quota using apt-get but when i type 'quota' it returns empty [04:34] I end up with just "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2" which I suspect means that it isn't installed by default on the CD. [04:34] hola [04:34] Snowflame: Try fdisk -l [04:34] ActionParsnip: thank you! [04:34] hux: it doesnt directly list the server but if you find a server with the same perc chip it should give indications [04:34] I get nothin off that. [04:35] Which makes sense because Ubuntu's GUI based stuff sees no disk drives either. [04:35] I found the server directly on there -- i want to double check the PERC card specifically though [04:35] Snowflame: seems like the drive isn't detected in BIOS then. have you double checked that? [04:35] gilaniali, on a system without quota it would return "The program 'quota' is currently not installed." best of luck. [04:35] (Disk Utility claims no one is home as well.) [04:35] I will, but Windows can see it just fine. [04:35] So I doubt that. [04:35] Because if it was a BIOS problem then Windows shouldn't be able to find it either. [04:36] Snowflame, try not to use enter so much - use 1 line to describe you problem. see factoid !enter [04:36] I also tried formatting the hard drive from within Windows. [04:36] ZykoticK9: i do know its installed, which quota returns the location [04:36] No change. And duly noted, Zkyotic. [04:36] hux, https://10.cloud.ubuntu.com/ [04:36] but why isnt it returning something when i try to invoke it [04:36] gilaniali, i've never used quota - just wanted to inform you that you "part" way there [04:36] i want to install the 64-bit version. [04:37] liquidmeson: Thanks, but I already have the physically server - or rather I'm acquiring it this week [04:37] freakabcd, so install the 64bit version? [04:37] freakabcd: go for it then :) [04:37] freakabcd, it's what i use (haven't done 10.10 on desktop yet) [04:37] Is it possible to set up ubuntu in such a way that it can be remote-controlled using ipod? For example for browsing videos and music and starting the videos/music on the server? [04:37] Also, does anyone know if it's normal to not see any hda# or sda# when ls in /dev ? It's not what I'd expect but might explain the missing hard drives. [04:38] !isitout [04:38] Yes! [04:38] (This is off a CD-boot of 10.10 amd64 in case it's relevant, though I doubt that.)

I've just had an install fail, now I can't remove the device. [04:40] liquidmeson, how is it possible with iphone?

[04:59] ubuN3wb3: using patches you find on the internet is a pain, because you'll need the sources to the version of the kernel that you're patching [04:59] bnjmn: I have same question ( I was able to remove it only along with volume control) [04:59] ubuN3wb3: which are almost surely not going to match the version in the ubuntu repositories [04:59] it has a mail icon and a sound icon, i like sound control there, but i just want the mail thing to disappear [04:59] i have the source [05:00] bnjmn, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/remove-mail-icon-leave-volume-control [05:00] Gryllida: huh... yeah, i like volume control there.. [05:00] ubuN3wb3: the patch is probably applied using patch [05:00] I did download the 64 bit version [05:00] ZykoticK9: thanks a lot [05:00] ubuN3wb3: assuming that it's a diff patch [05:00] bnjmn: yeah, I haev same question, didn't find it; have been using ubuntu for 4 months, and still no idea on it [05:00] Gryllida: well ZykoticK9 just provided the answer :) thanks again ZykoticK9 [05:00] ubuN3wb3: then you have to compile the kernel, and probably run a script to grub2 to update the kernels list so you can attempt to boot it [05:01] bnjmn, :) [05:01] ui [05:01] i think i dit this steps [05:01] ZykoticK9: 'sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages' <- do indicator messages *only* include the mail indicator? And is this package installed only on Ubuntu by default [05:01] ? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:02] Gryllida, i "believe" yes to both questions. [05:02] how would I get a MCP61 High Definition Audio sound card working? [05:02] Hello, with a fresh ubuntu server install, I boot up but get no login prompt. After the kernel messages the screen goes blank and then says "Starting NTP server ntpd [ OK ]." If i press CTRL-ALT-F1, I get back to tty1 with all of the kernel messages and a login prompt. Is there a reason that I'm not automatically presented with the login prompt? tty1.conf is stock and starts getty... Any ideas? [05:02] it removed the mail indicator for me... i just had mail and sound though... i had to restart the indicator-applet (remove / add) as well === randroid is now known as prophet === prophet is now known as prophit [05:03] i bet it includes mail, chat, and that unity thing whatever it is [05:03] also it doesn't detect up to 4 like you said its just 2 which is mind blowing at least for me since that makes no sense at all [05:03] okay, trying to follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades for my desktop. It's currently running Lucid, so I opened up UpdateManager and clicked Check. All it said was "Your system is up-to-date". I didn't get a box offering to let me upgrade [05:03] eroick, i'd recommend repeating the same question in #ubuntu-server [05:03] eroick: if nobody here knows check in #ubuntu-server [05:03] where is the chinese ? [05:03] i ran edquota username and it opened an editor for me to edit the values [05:03] lapa: in #ubuntu-cn [05:03] but what do the soft and hard limits refer to it? Mb, Gb? [05:03] ZykoticK9, izinucs, will do. thanks. [05:04] oh wait... might've just found it [05:04] !cn | lapa [05:04] lapa: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:04] I am looking to personalize a distro in vmplayer to produce an install cd, is there a way / program i can use or this [05:05] in case anyone else asks about this, you have to fix your settings to say that you want all releases... [05:05] I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this? [05:05] so.... guys..... I installed a 64 bit ubuntu and its only giving me 2gb out of 6. [05:05] !remaster | Sickler [05:05] Sickler: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [05:05] is there a way to pass that on to someone with rights to edit the documentation? [05:05] h00k: thanks [05:05] xk0beda1: how many memory sticks do you have [05:06] maquis, by default LTS will only upgrade to LTS (working as designed really) [05:06] 3 sticks 2 gb each [05:06] maquis: It's a wiki, you can fix it yourself. [05:06] Jordan_U: Ah... I thought I would need special perms, so I didn't try... :) [05:06] xk0beda1: have you run memtest? [05:06] maquis: Also, that is mentioned on that page: "Change the Release Upgrade drop down to "Normal Releases" and close the application [05:06] on ubuntu? no I have not ill look up how to do that [05:07] how would I get a MCP61 High Definition Audio sound card working? [05:07] xk0beda1: usually the option is on boot in the grub menu [05:07] alright. but mem test that sounds to me like it'll test my memory, which works on windows, is that correct or will it just configure something in ubuntu? [05:07] that is if it finds a problem which it should [05:08] xk0beda1: it tests your ram for issues.. [05:08] xk0beda1: What is the output of "free -m"? [05:09] Jordan_U: really? I apparently missed that [05:09] boy... i must be blind [05:09] ah hah! its NOT specifically kdm causing me issues. its the fglrx driver IN COMBO with kdm. kdm doesn't completely reset X on logout, and the fglrx driver isn't completely reinitialized so the screen corrupts. if I don't run the fglrx module I don't have the problem. [05:09] I logged back in windows so I can't do that right now.. and yea like I said it'll test my ram for issues but obviosuly there are none with my ram if it works on w7 no ? its just a problem with ubuntu detecting? [05:10] xk0beda1: special motherboard settings? [05:10] aka bios settings? [05:10] If you take your screen on logging out of X, and make the bottom 1/2 black, then make the top half full of ---------- (make these solid lines not dotted) the space of a normal scanline on the screen, it looks like someone took the scrreen and scrunched it up [05:10] Ooooh yes actually I have to change my ram timings [05:11] or else windows doesn't boot up, I forgot about that [05:11] it was 8-8-18 and I think I have it at 8-8-21 now [05:11] xk0beda1: you overclocking? [05:11] i want to install the 64-bit version, but the download page says if you need full support for 32-bit code, use just the x86 images [05:11] yea my mobo has a dummy OC so I have that on [05:11] whay is this? i thought 32-bit binaries execute cleanly on a 64-bit system [05:11] freakabcd ~ well the only other thing you can do is install the lib32-compat libraries [05:11] xk0beda1: Good to hear that linux deals with the issue more gracefully than windows :) [05:12] deryl, yeah. and that takes care of 32-bit binaries [05:12] so why the recommendation that for "full support of 32-bit use x86 images" ? [05:12] freakabcd, install ia32-libs, AND check out the program getlibs for 32bit support on 64bit OS [05:12] yea that's nice to know it still lets me use it.. so is running that mem test gonna fix it or what can I do [05:12] Pardon the cut-in, but the code red is wearing off and I have A question before my typing loses all intelligibility: I'm trying to put Maverick on my laptop and I manage to boot it from the USB drive I've mounted and installed it on, but when I go to the main GUI and attempt to run the trial mode to see if it even works, I get hit with "/casper/vmlinuz: file not found"- it also does this for the install. Is this a known issue? If so [05:12] helllo [05:12] freakabcd: It's a controversial decision, most of the community disagrees with that statement. [05:12] are there 32-bit binaries that don;t work properly on 64-bit even with all the compatibility libs, etc. ? === ghost is now known as Guest28960 [05:13] Jordan_U, ah, ok. [05:13] freakabcd: No, there aren't. [05:13] the most likely issue is any kernel level drivers that might not have a 64-bit version [05:13] freakabcd: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 [05:13] Jordan_U, I like the current "32bit recommended" a LOT more then the "64bit NOT recommended" it was before [05:13] i have a problem [05:13] uh so yea how do I make it so that linux detects my ram timings [05:13] that's why we're all here [05:14] im here because I think you guys are all awesome, actually [05:14] freakabcd ~ hehe i guess zykotick9 and jordan_u pretty much answered it [05:14] freakabcd, Jordan_U re:are there 32bit programs that don't work? --- yes there are SOME, but very few [05:14] noticed as I was typing [05:14] ZykoticK9: Can you name one that will not work even in a 32 bit chroot? [05:14] freakabcd: Citrix doesn't have a 64bit client [05:14] well i just installed ubuntu 5.1 to my imb t22 and it will not pick up my wireless card [05:15] sooooo [05:15] change ram timings on ubuntu to what I have on w7. how to do this [05:15] Guest28960: DOH! ... 5.1 .. really? get something newer [05:15] Jordan_U, doh - i've never gone the 32bit chroot method - so no I can't say that. What I can say is a couple of 32bit emulators do NOT work with the 64bit ia32libs method. [05:15] Jordan_U, :) [05:15] Guest28960: There has never been a 5.1 release of Ubuntu, only 5.04 and 5.10. Both of those releases have not been supported for a long time now though. [05:16] *cough* [05:16] xk0beda1: there's also ##linux .. sometimes it helps [05:16] yea i have 5.10 [05:16] but i say 5.1 for short [05:16] Guest28960: that would be breezy badger.. 5 years old [05:16] this place is so aweosme though [05:16] Guest28960: Please install a supported release of Ubuntu then, like 10.04 or 10.10. [05:16] Guest28960: it's no longer supported [05:17] I'm trying to put Maverick on my laptop and I manage to boot it from the USB drive I've mounted and installed it on, but when I go to the main GUI and attempt to run the trial mode to see if it even works, I get hit with "/casper/vmlinuz: file not found"- it also does this for the install. Is this a known issue? If so, is there a place I can find a fix? [05:17] but when i instal the updates it laggs [05:17] alot [05:17] what's the simplest way to create a keyboard shortcut that runs something? [05:18] What should I do if /dev/dsp is missing? [05:18] Guest28960: there are no updates.. the repos for 5.10 are long gone.. your system can't find the repos [05:18] brad__: Use padsp or aoss. [05:18] brad__: That has been a popular question recently for some reason :) [05:18] XP1, System / Preferences / Keyboard Shortcuts [05:18] im talkin bout the new releses of ubuntu [05:18] ok [05:18] Kilowatt: could be an issue with how the live distro was put on the usb.. might try a cd [05:19] What is the difference between desktop and server? I mean I can run and addapt a desktop to run servers and so on, so what is the "real" difference? [05:19] Alas, I'm hosed CD-Wise. [05:19] Jordan_U, thanks :) [05:19] tyoc213, now a days - almost nothing! [05:19] the only thing I see different is the iso size... [05:20] but I dont know what is the difference :S [05:20] tyoc213, server "shouldn't" have a GUI installed [05:20] tyoc213: Ubuntu desktop runs a lot of stuff that a server doesn't need. [05:20] well whats the best ubuntu i can install for my ibm t22 laptop [05:20] how to use myeclipse in ubuntu? [05:20] tyoc213: reliablity [05:20] ZykoticK9, like I know it has the interface [05:20] Guest28960: Could you try to be more clear. Are you using an obsolete version of Ubuntu because recent versions run too slowly on your hardware? If so then you should instead look at Xubuntu or Lubuntu which are lightweight yet fully up to date and supported. [05:20] tyoc213, tensorpudding has a point as well [05:20] Guest28960: 10.04 is supported for the next 3 years.. I have it on my t42 [05:20] tyoc213, by default servers is CLI (no-GUI) only [05:21] I see [05:21] tyoc213: do you mean the diffrence between server and desktop Hardware? [05:21] but the spec are alot different [05:21] tyoc213: Also, most people create servers which have to be locked-down and hardened for security purposes, and desktop Ubuntu probably would need a lot of work to get tere [05:21] no... there are out there real srevers that even let you hot plug ;) [05:21] tyoc213, my point, was that it "should" stay that way. Your right, you can install services on desktop JUST fine ;) [05:21] tyoc213: The only difference is in the packages installed by default. Any "desktop" install can be completely transformed to use the same packages as the "server" install, and visa-versa [05:22] tyoc213: and in my humble opinion, Ubuntu isn't really what I'd use for a server. [05:22] * Jordan_U notes that wikipedia is hosted on Ubuntu servers [05:22] OK, I think I get the main points, thanks people :) [05:22] tensorpudding, google would disagree ;) [05:23] Jordan_U, so which packages do i need after my 64-bit install? ia32libs, lib32-compat, ...? i ask because i don;t know the names of these packages [05:23] I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this? [05:23] how to connect usb modem in ubuntu [05:23] ?? [05:23] tyoc213, ia32-libs [05:24] change ram timings on ubuntu to what I have on w7. how to do this [05:24] atude: did you run .. sudo apt-get -f install .. like it suggested? [05:24] xk0beda1, thats really not an ubuntu question.. #kernel, #kernelnewbies, #linux, etc. can most likely help you with that [05:24] what the best relesed ubuntu out is good for the ibm t22 [05:25] freakabcd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 [05:25] xk0beda1: fairly sure that RAM timings are handled in the BIOS [05:25] xk0beda1: I am fairly sure you can't change that stuff while the computer is running [05:25] i am having several problems after installin ubuntu in my dell inspiron 1410 laptop so plzzz i need help [05:25] Whats with this stuffed up distribution!! Why the hell doesn't the desktop partitioner have raid in it? [05:25] right, but I have it changed in w7 bios. so is there a separate bios for linux that I need to change it in? [05:25] xk0beda1: well, maybe not [05:25] xk0beda1: there is only one BIOS [05:25] sorry it's the firm time im trying to use linux [05:25] okay so what can I do [05:26] xk0beda1: if you set it in the BIOS, it should work irrespective of the OS [05:27] freakabcd, sorry my last post was suppose to be to you. ia32-libs first then getlibs (as Jordan_U suggested) for specific packages [05:27] xk0beda1: there's also #ubuntu-offtopic if you wanna give that a try [05:28] so what can be another reason for it seeing 2gb [05:28] izinucs: yes, I get the same exact error [05:28] ZykoticK9, yeah i saw the message. thanks [05:28] il try that [05:28] izinucs: keep in mind, it stuck in this circular predependency checl [05:28] tensorpudding, "Removed on-fly memory timings change (unstable)" Enhancements in v2.00 for memtest :) [05:28] atude: how about .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:29] so it appears that long ago they got rid of such functionality. but most certainly is possible while system is online [05:29] Hi! [05:30] izinucs: same thing.. actually, returns some error complaining about libc6 being unpacked already [05:30] izinucs: otherwise, same exact thing [05:30] atude: weird.. do you have a separate /home partition? [05:30] izinucs: no [05:31] atude: there's a command someone else will have to give you the right syntax for.. but it's something like sudo dpkg -i --reconfigure [05:31] hmmm... my upgrade to maverick just failed with "'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend x11-common for x11-xkb-utils, probably a dependency cycle.'" Anyone know anything about this? [05:32] yeah my sis can't even GET to it to upgrade [05:32] atude, you might want to try the general (if you haven't already) apt fix of "sudo apt-get -f install" [05:32] anyone know how I can make this code work with spaces? http://www.pastie.org/1219958 <-- for example if I have a folder called "new folder" it trys to svn add new and svn add folder not svn add "new folder" [05:32] ZykoticK9: suggested earlier.. same issue for him [05:33] izinucs, k - sorry, i wasn't really following the issue, just read the last message. my bad. [05:33] ZykoticK9: no worries.. jump right in [05:36] Hi all [05:36] Do USB devices only show up in lsusb if they have a driver loaded or something? Or should I be able to see any USB device? [05:36] DEMNVT: depends on the device. what is it? [05:36] Trying to get a Powerware UPS to work with nut but the bloody thing doesn't show up using lsusb on any ubuntu system [05:36] ZykoticK9: yeah, izinucs already suggested that, and it doesn't do any good [05:36] even though it shows on Windows fine as soon as I connect it [05:37] driving me nuts :( [05:37] parden the pun :p [05:37] atude, ya, i got that impress, sorry i don't have anything else to suggest. good luck man. [05:37] DEMNVT: after plugging it in open a terminal and type dmesg.. at the end it should give you a mount point [05:37] hello, I have a wifi card that is fully capable of N speeds and a router to go with it, but under linux it will not connect to N speeds, but only 54mbps instead. i found this post that pertains to my card but no solution was offered. linux has the driver, rt2860 but it wont connect to my b/g/N router at all but WILL connect to a b/g router, and i have also tried loading the windows driver for it through ndiswrapper. with ndiswrapper [05:37] it will connect to my b/g/n router but only at 54mbps. any insight? http://goo.gl/xl61 [05:38] izinucs: that was actually what I was going to try next. Thanks for confirming [05:38] will tailing /var/log/messages also be helpful? [05:38] DEMNVT: not sure [05:38] I've seen posts from others with the same UPS and it does show stuff in lsusb... so I must be missing something I think [05:39] izinucs: Ok. thanks.. will check dmesg [05:39] with a fresh ubuntu server install, I'm being sent to tty7 (or whatever CTRL-ALT-F7) is. is there a way to change this? === james is now known as Guest36255 [05:41] Hello, everyone [05:41] How can i move all my files name songs1.mp3 to songs100.mp4 to /songs what command to move all files whos name starts with songs (not format) ??

I had to reinstall my desktop many times over before it worked right. But.. Fresh install is better anyhow. :) 10.10 is really nice, besides a few bugs here and there (like my jumpy mouse :( ) [05:44] MTec007, s/guess/guessing [05:44] error: cannot move fiel to subdirector itself..

[05:45] Oh, by the way, anyone using KDE in 10.10, have you noticed, while using Firefox, that the screen "sticks" to what it showed before, and it doesn't update the display. I've had it happen in quite a few apps. It's got to be one of the worst bugs afaik, worse than my mouse. Any ideas? [05:46] MTec007, the bash number would require a [0-100] but i couldn't tell you the proper placeholder's either, so mine might fail ;) [05:46] LGSilva: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=402065 === jason is now known as Guest72141 [05:47] thank you toonacid [05:47] Is there any way to properly test the connection between two computers?

[05:53] env WINEPREFIX="/home/rinehart/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Counter Strike Source\Counter-Strike Source.exe" [05:53] fearthepenguin: mine has a serial RS-232 port, it's a clone... I've used that before [05:54] fearthepenguin: the problem is my usb <-> serial converter device which is its own device and not an arduino component :) [05:54] mee, try: env WINEPREFIX="/home/rinehart/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Counter/ Strike/ Source\Counter-Strike/ Source.exe" [05:54] lucent: got it. unplug the arduino from the adapter, unplug the usb adapter and plug it back in and see if you still get those errors in dmesg [05:54] mee, try: env WINEPREFIX="/home/rinehart/.wine" wine "C:\Program/ Files\Counter/ Strike/ Source\Counter-Strike/ Source.exe" [05:54] fearthepenguin: ah, okay [05:54] Gnea: still around? fixed my issue =) =) [05:54] lucent: yeah, it sounds like your ftdi adapter may be on the fritz, but trying to eliminate the arduino connected to it from the equation. [05:54] jodan_u please help [05:54] mee, sorry - the 2nd one, missied the Program/ Files the first time [05:54] mv songs* songs/ not working [05:55] cannot move dire to its subdire [05:55] hola... [05:55] Exploiter, mv /path/to/songs[1-100].mp* /path/to/songs/ should be right [05:55] ok === blacklightmoon is now known as moon [05:55] fearthepenguin: I'm actually on a WinXP machine, but I was hoping to run a test through an SSH to my linux server. Is there any easy way to do this without having to reboot to my windows machine to linux? :S [05:55] fearthepenguin: see dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/512890/ [05:55] nope still doesnt work === moon is now known as blacklightmoon [05:56] Is there any way to make everything on my screen appear slightly smaller so that my netbook's screen can show more stuff at a time? I have a lot of dialogs cut off by the gnome-panel [05:56] mee, try that command in a terminal window. does it work? [05:56] Mtec007 still same, cannot move XX to a subdirectory of itself [05:56] hola necesito ayuda. === LGSilva is now known as LGSilva^linux [05:56] bobthemilkman: the linux machine is up yes? [05:56] !es | corpse [05:56] corpse: 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. [05:56] Yeah, I'm SSHed into it right now. [05:57] no [05:57] mee, what is the error/output? [05:57] Exploiter: thats ok. itll still move everything *else* [05:57] fearthepenguin: my hardware is bought from http://www.pfranc.com/usb/usb.shtml [05:57] Exploiter: if you do "ls" you'll see it moved all the individual files [05:57] Tabmow: You here? [05:57] I know it worked in the same physical configuration, with an older kernel from Lucid [05:57] there is none [05:58] maco :| i m really stupid, yes you are right.. haha [05:58] lucent: err 21 is "hardware didn't respond" if I remember correctly. Do you have any other machine you can test that adapter on? [05:58] mee, what about: WINEPREFIX="/home/rinehart/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Counter Strike Source\Counter-Strike Source.exe" [05:58] mee, sorry you need to add the \s [05:59] bobthemilkman: you could use wget to fetch a file from a connected host and just output to /dev/shm . You just want to test your download rate right? [05:59] fearthepenguin: no, I can try with older kernel, or dual-boot into microsoft OS to verify the hardware... but I'm very certain the hardware is functional and this is a driver or java problem [05:59] fearthepenguin: That will be bottlenecked by the file read speed. [05:59] I know this sounds stupid. But is there like, a weight loss program application thing for Ubuntu? :P [06:00] I think I might do something like scp IP:`yes` /dev/null [06:00] how do i get this usb head set to work its headphones with a mic so i can talk but i dont know if i need a plugin or to set something up. i dont know if its working [06:00] bobthemilkman: source the file from /dev/shm and download it to /dev/null [06:00] What's the name of that RAMdrive FS they have these days... tmpfs? [06:01] source the file? [06:01] its not working but even if i dont use the shortcut it still doesnt work [06:01] hasek79: if it's working then you will be able to see it as a recording device in System | Preferences | Sound [06:01] lucent: could try inserting the mct_u232 module with debug enabled. rmmod mct_u232; modprobe mct_u232 debug=1 [06:02] no there is no signal is there something i need to do? [06:02] hello all [06:02] bobthemilkman: yeah tmpfs is ram and is what /dev/shm is. if you put your file in /dev/shm and then download it to /dev/null, you have cut the disk out totally [06:02] newbie here [06:03] I see! [06:03] Hi, I'm having trouble with wireless on my laptop. b43 crashes because of a conflict with 3c59x, and ndiswrapper fails to yield any networks like it should [06:03] when I ssh into my box, i can login successfully but I don't get a shell. locally, i can see that the user has logged in from a remote IP and is running a shell. ssh -vvv produces nothing of interest... any ideas? I've tried switching between bash/dash for default shell... [06:03] bobthemilkman: of course you wont have a file left in /dev/null being the bit bucket, but you will have eliminated the disk [06:03] fearthepenguin: An error has occurred in the Pastebin software. Please notify the administrators. [06:03] So on the server, I can sudo cp TESTFILE /dev/shm, and then on this machine scp IP:/dev/shm /dev/shm? [06:04] Or /dev/null, either or. [06:04] What can I do? I want working WiFi... [06:04] can't get ubuntu to full screen === alifnet02 is now known as s3c0ndch4nc3 [06:04] bobthemilkman: yes that would be all network IO except for caching that could occur [06:04] i'm using putty to access a ubuntu server, and i needed to use 'screen' to continue the execution of a twenty four hour build when i inevitably have to close the putty program [06:04] lucent: hehehe [06:04] is it possible at all to resume the view of the screen from another putty session? [06:05] bobthemilkman: no real way to eliminate that though [06:05] deadroot: screen -r [06:05] fearthepenguin: okay, so we will do it again... ttp://pastebin.com/Cn8KcKzy [06:05] RudyValencia: thank you [06:05] :D [06:05] I can't create a new account on launchpad to report a bug. It won't send me a confirmation code.. just an email saying I might have forgotten my password? [06:05] Help - i can't full screen [06:05] I can't seem to get my hard drive to mount read and write even though the fstab seems to be good [06:05] I've never had problems with my WiFi via ndiswrapper before [06:05] fearthepenguin: Well, the server's currently nowhere near its 8GB of RAM usage, so I think it'll be okay. [06:06] but b43 conflicts with 3c59x due to a Debian bug [06:06] Does LibreOffice have a PPA? [06:06] (I don't like Debian beacuse they're missing a lot of the Ubuntu stuff) [06:06] ah [06:06] yes there is [06:06] deadroot, use to disconnect from a screen session, then the "screen -r" to reconnect [06:07] how [06:08] er, sorry. how can i get the Welcome to Ubuntu banner not to display when i ssh in? i've tried moving /var/run/motd, but it still prints. do i have to reboot or something? [06:08] bobthemilkman: yeah you should be covered === Gnea_ is now known as Gnea [06:08] lucent: this a belkin device? [06:08] I'm gonna go ahead and assume that even on a 1gbps network, the memory thoroughput is much faster :3 [06:08] Hi all [06:08] here is my fstab line for my drive: http://pastie.org/1220009 [06:08] Hi [06:08] bobthemilkman, by orders of magnitude [06:09] any Ubuntu Mirror Managers in here? [06:09] That's what I thought. [06:09] fearthepenguin: I mentioned, it is a "Purple USB" serial converter, 'U232-P9(2.4)' from pfranc distributor http://www.pfranc.com/usb/usb.shtml [06:09] works great except now with the Maverick kernel 2.6.35-22-generic [06:09] lucent: ah right. I ask because I do see some really old issues with the belkin adapter using that chip [06:09] lucent: but nothing recent [06:10] lucent: I'd try to revert to the older kernel and insmod it debug and see what happens [06:10] Hey [06:10] Is there any way to get Banshee in the sound menu like Rhythmbox? [06:10] fearthepenguin: okay. [06:10] lucent: it feels like a hardware issue, but stranger things have happened in regressions [06:10] fearthepenguin: I'm noticing more problems than benefits on my hardware, with the new kernel. Hey, this is progress, right? [06:11] i'm getting: "There is no screen to be resumed." [06:11] lucent: it's always progress for someone [06:11] Omen_20, IF you don't get an answer here, you might want to try repeating in #kubuntu Best of luck. [06:11] it ate my firewire storage with data corruption, backups too, now serial device ... when will the hurting stop? [06:11] Omen_20, oh sorry - it isn't a kubuntu issue! my bad. [06:12] lucent: yike ! [06:13] hi... i want to know how to make webpages shortcuts with firefox.... i did it on 9.04 just drag and dropping the webaddres to the desktop... but now this action is not the same and create local web copies instead of web shortcuts [06:13] ZykoticK9, I found my answer. Just a simple plugin install. Thanks [06:14] when i update to 10.10 my compiz seems not working === alifnet02 is now known as seven_heaven [06:15] wireless is disabled in network manager applet , and mobile broadband also doesn't appear , i was able to successfully connect using a mobile broadband connection, rfkill list all shows hard block as yes ? [06:16] hmm... i seem to have fixed my problem via some kludge or it fixed itself when running 'screen -d -r' [06:17] thanks again RudyValencia. it's what i wanted. :) [06:17] bye [06:17] bye [06:17] Just installed Ubuntu karmic along side Fedora. Grub doesn't see fedora anymore, ideas? [06:18] Omen_20, nice! and thank you - it's good to know banshee can be integrated [06:18] Sikth why install to linuxes for [06:18] linux is linux [06:18] why my compiz not working after i upddated into 10.10 [06:19] any ideas [06:19] lmao [06:19] carlotolinero, open a terminal, type compiz --replace . any errors? [06:19] read the err logs [06:20] OMG I can't get my mounting file permissions / samba stuff all working together [06:20] homecable, because there are subtle differences between them, just using the Fedora live disc I was confused on things [06:20] my wireless is disable in network manager .. any resons? [06:20] pankajm, right click on network manager and click enable wireless [06:21] I'm using 10.04 and evolution and evolution --express look the same. Thanks for the help in advance [06:21] not possible , its greyed out [06:21] fearthepenguin thank you [06:22] its working now and no errors [06:22] carlotolinero, no problem. [06:22] hatake_kakashi: i tried rfkill list all , it shows wlan0 -- soft block no , hard block yes [06:22] pankajm, is wireless enabled in bios? what about pressing the wifi button? [06:23] it works perfectly in windows xp in dual boot , btw i m only worried about mobile broadband , it was working once , now i cant see it in the applet's list [06:24] anyone ever seen a time when "sudo chmod 777 file.txt" doesn't error out, but doesn't give write privilages? [06:24] hatake_kakashi: but it is still inside the mobile-broadband tab.. [06:24] pankajm, I'd check dmesg output, you might have installed a standard kernel [06:24] fearthepenguin hey man [06:24] pankajm, err I meant non-standard kernel [06:25] hatake_kakashi: yeah , its the ubuntu 10.04 kernel [06:25] Can I play video file when Transmission is downloading it? [06:25] shaheenery, FYI you can't apply linux/unix permission to a samba share [06:25] hatake_kakashi: i m on xp , which software can i use to read the ext4 files? [06:25] pankajm, recall what you did last to make it not work.. the wireless broadband afaik is usually handled by the driver known as option [06:26] pankajm, I don't think there are any.. had you been on ext3 you can get ext2ifs [06:26] RT @pankajm: i m on xp , which software can i use to read the ext4 files? [06:26] How do I add new mime types to my server? I have video files showing up as application/octet-stream and would like to learn how to add their mime types [06:26] ZykoticK9: I'm trying to set the directory to share to 777 so I can create a samba share where users can read/write [06:26] shaheenery, well 777 should give read/write/execute to everyone?! [06:26] correct [06:27] hatake_kakashi: now it seems i cant detect my 3g usb modem as a modem , when i try to make a new connection , it doesn't detect it as it used to.. [06:27] shaheenery, are you testing across Samba? i'm sure it's a samba vs. folder permission issue then. [06:27] pankajm, was it detected as a flash drive? some wireless broadband modems allow you to also store or retrieve drivers from the stick itself, if so you need usb-modeswitch [06:28] How can I install older releases of software? [06:28] when I "mount" the drive I can't write to it...when I "sudo mount" the drive I can't start a samba share [06:28] no, I"m not testing across samba [06:28] hatake_kakashi: yeah it has storage which is detected [06:28] I am simpy in the directory in terminal [06:28] i have also got those packages [06:29] shaheenery, seems like you have a few things going on. are you trying to share an entire drive? or just a folder on a drive? [06:29] hatake_kakashi: i will try it and see , btw it worked without them... [06:29] pankajm, have you actually tried switching it back to modem mode? [06:29] where are the background images in xfce stored [06:29] just a folder [06:29] http://pastie.org/1220009 this is my fstab line [06:29] shaheenery, and this folder can you post the ouput of "ls -ld /path/to/folder"? [06:29] pankajm, well it would be more ideal if you recalled what you did last to mess things up like that :) no wireless internet and no wireless broadband [06:30] hatake_kakashi: modem_ode? [06:30] pankajm, yes modem mode, usb-modeswitch has that capability [06:30] hatake_kakashi: thanks for that info , i ll try that [06:31] anyone know where the config files are for evolution to start clean? [06:31] shaheenery@mallow:~$ ls -ld /media/crazy_bear/CrazyBear/ [06:31] drwxr-xr-x 14 shaheenery shaheenery 32768 2010-10-14 01:17 /media/crazy_bear/CrazyBear/ [06:32] shaheenery, because you are trying to mount into /media i'm gonna have to leave you issue for someone else. best of luck man. [06:32] ? [06:32] No, problem, but why is that? [06:32] shaheenery, i don't know the implications of /media - so i gotta bail [06:32] shaheenery, are you trying to mount a directory to another directory? [06:32] How to enable IPv6 function in Transmission? [06:33] hello guys, how i can see my hardware info in ubutnu? [06:33] fearthepenguin: I've booted 2.6.32-24-generic on the same hardware configuration and the serial converter _is_ working [06:33] soroush, sudo lshw [06:33] where are the background images in xfce stored, they arent all in /usr/share/background as i would espect [06:33] shaheenery, personally i mount my drives outside of /media - and leave it for the automatic stuff. good luck man. [06:33] just trying to mount my external hard drive so I can share a folder on it using samba [06:34] shaheenery, why not create a directory under /mnt as root and mount it there? [06:35] how long ago did 10.10 release? [06:36] Name141: sunday [06:36] Name141, 4 days [06:36] oh, must need a new server selection then [06:36] (mirror) [06:37] yeah now it's downloading. [06:38] i wanna to get my vga (nvidia) info for download driver,how i can it? [06:38] soroush, check in hardware drivers [06:38] hatake_kakashi: same as mounting it in media, it can't change the folder permisisons to create it as a samba share [06:38] i do it [06:39] but i dont found vga info [06:39] this is for my labtop [06:40] "Nautilus needs to add some permissions to your folder "CrazyBear" in order to share it....blah blah....Do you want Nautilus to add these permissions? when I choose "add the permissions automatically" I get an error box "could not change the permissions of folder "CrazyBear" [06:40] shaheenery, not really, afaik HAL deals with mounting storage devices into /media and if you have a directory there with the same name as the one HAL is planning to mount it as (i.e. disk for example) HAL will create a new directory and mount the storage device there.. which is why it will get messy and thus not ideal. [06:41] shaheenery, you'll need root permissions to do it.. I don't know of the graphical way, I deal with it via command line [06:41] again its not ideal to go around changing stuff inside /media, one bad mistake and you may end up with a messy setup [06:41] I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/27A5MEKf <-- how do I fix this? [06:42] hatake_kakashi: what is the command for that [06:42] Well yeah, putting it there wasn't MY idea that's where it put it by default [06:42] A|pHA_six3, chown and maybe chmod.. afaik root can only mount devices though in theory one could `hack' it to make it so that users can also mount it === nick is now known as Guest725 [06:43] hatake_kakashi: gotcha just like to know everything about HAL and root permissions [06:43] shaheenery, if you're going to mount it manually I suggest you to mount it inside /mnt instead.. there's no fancy automounting happening in /mnt and so you won't have a messy setup [06:44] but even when it's under /mnt and I try to chmod 777 a file it doesn't give write privilages to user [06:44] <^DEMOSS^> ЧО ЗА НЕВЕДОМОЕ МИФИЧЕСКОЕ ДЕРЬМО ? ubuntu 10/10 not loded !! [06:44] <^DEMOSS^> ЧО ЗА НЕВЕДОМОЕ МИФИЧЕСКОЕ ДЕРЬМО ? ubuntu 10/10 not loded !! [06:44] .. [06:44] ubuntu and veoh? [06:44] What's this? [06:44] A|pHA_six3, or I could be wrong it might also be udev that handles it.. and most power tools are only reserved for super user [06:44] ^DEMOSS^, #ubuntu-ru [06:44] <^DEMOSS^> =) sorry [06:44] <^DEMOSS^> ok i go ubuntu-ru [06:44] hatake_kakashi: love su permissions ;) [06:45] Hi all [06:45] shit happens : http://www.conceivablytech.com/3421/business/microsoft-patents-gpu-accelerated-video-encoding/ [06:45] hi [06:45] can i share my host machines pci modem to virtualbox? [06:45] shaheenery, maybe you need to mount it with option for user to add/remove files, etc [06:45] ranjan, no [06:45] hatake_kakashi: why is it so? [06:45] UNIm95, wrong channel [06:46] bazhang no it is right channel [06:46] ranjan, its because there's no proper and stable support for PCI passthrough/hotswapping.. however its best to ask this in virtualbox support channel [06:46] w00t! [06:46] UNIm95, its offtopic. so no its not [06:46] bazhang we would also pay for it [06:46] My mirror has updated, now I can join the cool people in 10.10 [06:46] hatake_kakashi: ok thank u. [06:46] UNIm95, #ubuntu-offtopic [06:47] I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/27A5MEKf <-- how do I fix this? [06:47] atude: squashfs loop ? [06:47] no [06:47] 0_0 [06:48] ??? [06:48] atude: wrong channel oppps [06:49] Shotwell's upload feature is useless if it cant see your Facebook albums [06:49] hello. looking for a gnome environment that's stable on a 128mb ram older computer. [06:49] bazhang: ubuntu use GPU-Accelerated Video Encoding via vlc totem and mplayer [06:50] UNIm95, no one asked about that. dont paste link here. [06:50] The GNOME Foundation is looking for developers to enhance the developer [06:50] experience of using GTK+ to port and create applications on MeeGo [06:50] Handset devices. [06:50] xubuntu, was pretty hard on it; the computer was slow when I installed xubuntu on it. [06:50] gigglefight: Probably won't find a GNOME environment that's stable with 128mb. I [06:50] bazhang ok it is your choise [06:50] !ot | zhengshi [06:50] zhengshi: #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! [06:50] When can I install Ubuntu on my mobile phone ? :D [06:50] gigglefight, while it's not Gnome, the XFCE or XLDE environments should fit the low memory bill. [06:51] zhengshi, you cant. #ubuntu-offtopic for chat NOT here [06:51] gigglefight: I'm under the impression XFCE requires 256mb to run well. Perhaps one of the *Box's (OpenBox, Fluxbox) would fit your needs? [06:51] zhengshi : soon [06:51] Well, what about Lubuntu? [06:51] How do I enable netbios name resolution for programs like 'ping'? I tried adding 'wins' to the hosts line in nsswitch.conf but this didn't help. [06:51] atude: are you using synaptic? [06:51] Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense? [06:51] atude: I think synaptic or aptitude can resolve these conflicts [06:51] thanks chu. I've tried lubuntu... :( it wasn't loading. i may reburn the disk. [06:52] atude: apt-get will *not* [06:52] Lewoco: samba ? [06:52] laters. will look into lubuntu and box. [06:52] I came here to ask what "Sticky Windows" are and how they could be applied to my windowing habits. [06:52] A|pHA_six3, Yeah, I've already got samba and nmblookup can resolve names. Just stuff like ping doesn't work. === wc is now known as Guest32181 [06:53] Use habits, how I use windows etc. === Sickler is now known as jjs3 [06:53] lucent: apt-get [06:53] Lewoco: ping does not work at all or just name resolution ? [06:53] http://imagebin.org/118427 can someone help be solve this colour problem [06:53] A|pHA_six3, Just name resolution [06:53] lucent: oh, how should I resolve the problem with aptitude/synaptic? [06:54] atude: if you have aptitude installed, just do "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" [06:54] lucent apt-get -f install to fix dependencies [06:54] have had bad luck with 'apt-get -f install' never again! [06:54] What problem? [06:54] Lewoco: hmm yea I dunno but that is a good question [06:54] jjs3, what problem? [06:54] I'd advise against dist-upgrading.. it's hardly ever clean and you'll get issues === Mossyfunk|Sleep is now known as Mossyfunk [06:55] that's true, though safe-upgrade won't do what we want either [06:55] tiox, the colors are not the same which usually doesnt happen, is it possible to change the indicator applet color to match the panel, i notice its only with some themes it will do this [06:56] Uh... huh? [06:56] clean install is by far the most ideal, sure it'll take time to setup and all however you won't have any issues here and there just because of dist-upgrade [06:56] hey guys I am currently running ubuntu 10.4 [06:56] OOH I see. [06:56] tiox, theres two colors in that panel, two shades of gray, it stands out too much to me and i want to make them the same [06:56] yea [06:56] how do I get the whole OS updated [06:56] lucent: wtf.. I had it installed but apt-get must of uninstalled it during dist upgrade.. [06:56] ? [06:56] Hmmm. [06:57] from 10.4 to 10.10 ? [06:57] Is this a color you defined? [06:57] lucent: so I cant install it now [06:57] atude: aptitude is not installed by default as of Maverick, true story [06:57] atude: if you can get to a UI, then run synaptic [06:57] On 10.4 up it's a graident of grey. [06:57] Part of the Ambiance system theme. [06:57] lucent: what do I do in synaptic? I was in there and could not progress much [06:57] yea and if memory is correct aptitude package installs are not recorded by the system manager [06:57] oh well [06:57] lucent: I just get the same errors with apt-get [06:57] In fact, try that -- Change the theme and see if the color difference affects other themes. [06:58] atude: I'm thinking you might be stuck without a lot of work [06:58] Tell me! What is VLAN???!!! [06:58] stuck, without an answer unless you do a lot of work [06:58] reinstall time? [06:58] vLAN dude is called virtual lan [06:58] Smail, virtual LAN, information is available on wikipedia [06:58] tiox: nope, just when to customize theme and it seems to do that to quite a couple, one has the applet orange while the panel is white, i dont get it [06:58] and lan stands for local area network [06:58] I am having a very hard time figuring out how to add mime types to my magic db. Anybody here familiar with mime types ? [06:59] its mainly used in swithes and routers [06:59] lucent: there's no way to just force a package to install? I'm finding that almost 100% unlikely and unrealistic.. To remove my data is too much work [06:59] does that answer your question smail ? [06:59] atude: you can set its selection status manually using 'dpkg' [06:59] in other words you can have one dhcp server setup for multiple subnets with vlans [06:59] lucent: what do you mean? [06:59] atude: I only know where to point you to find out yourself, I have no interest to do this homework for you sorry [06:59] so can anyone answer my question [07:00] Alright, I learned what sticky windows are. [07:00] is it possible to update the whole OS? [07:00] !upgrade > ruum [07:00] ruum, please see my private message [07:00] Also jjs3, I don't know. [07:00] lucent: I'm not requesting you do any "homework".. if you know of a solution, feel free to let me know, otherwise just say you don't.... [07:00] lucent: thanks though [07:00] echo data [07:00] I never encountered this problem. Maybe removing the applet, then adding it back in again in the hopes it refreshes the colors? [07:01] atude: I know only that it has something to do with selection statuses, and I have no interest to find out what those are really, so good luck to you :) [07:01] lucent: selection status.. thanks :O [07:01] how do I get the ip of my local printer? [07:02] tiox: tried but no luck [07:02] Again, not a problem I can quite investigate... what programs add these applets? [07:02] atude: selection status is shown in output of 'dpkg -l' like ii means install-desired and installed, I think. Somehow you can manually set the status of what is desired [07:03] OK, I'm trying to get WiFi working on my lappy (Dell Inspiron 8200). [07:03] Or if they're already there, what applets? [07:03] that's whoosh way over what I care to learn about right now, I don't mean to be rude though [07:03] how i can protect folders and file in ububtu ? same hide or lock/ [07:03] ubuntu__, check under router's web UI? [07:03] soroush: nothing easy to do [07:03] b43 (the WiFi driver) conflicts with 3c59x (the Ethernet driver) and causes a crash [07:04] (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/533335) [07:04] !truecrypt | soroush [07:04] soroush: Truecrypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software.

[07:04] hatake_kakashi, thanks. i forgot to turn the printer on though <_< [07:04] Backports? No. [07:04] tiox: indicator applet and indicator applet session [07:04] I don't like backports. [07:05] ok [07:05] hello all again :) [07:05] RudyValencia, tried compat-wireless/wireless-testing instead? :) [07:05] what's that? [07:05] :/ [07:05] It seems like it's a pre-defined background? === Schoentoon_ is now known as Schoentoon [07:05] anyone ever had the problem of not being able to chmod a file? [07:05] i have another problem. my shell script needs to set some environment variables. but after the script has executed, the variables are still not set. does anybody have any idea what is going on? [07:05] tiox: yes [07:05] I try changing the color and the image backgrounds stick. [07:06] I don't like modifying my system beyond that provided by Ubuntu [07:06] its a whole bunch of wireless drivers from later (or earlier) kernel version for one to compile, install and use with their kernel [07:06] Sorry anyone ever had the problem of not being able to "sudo chmod" a file? [07:06] Why isn't ndiswrapper working? It used to work before, on 10.04 too (which is what I use) [07:06] shaheenery, unusual, not that I've had that issue [07:07] RudyValencia, you might want to make sure b43 is fully unloaded and maybe its deps.. then blacklist b43 [07:07] shaheenery: does the file exist? [07:07] shaheenery sure its not a symbolic link [07:07] jjs3, this issue only happens to me when using Ambiance or Radiance. [07:07] I tried removing b43 and ssb [07:07] I "sudo mounted" the drive in /mnt and not /media [07:07] not a regular user can't use it [07:07] what's the latest version of ubuntu? [07:07] the WiFi card still won't use ndiswrapper [07:07] And what the hell were Canonical thinking letting this error slip? [07:07] I want to chmod so anyone can read / write [07:07] shaheenery, its the mount options, you have to mount it giving permissions to user [07:08] Predefined backgrounds for applets are no good... sounds like a Gnome setting. [07:08] RudyValencia, you tried.. and so b43 is not in lsmod neither is ssb? [07:08] i specified "rw" and "user" in fstab [07:08] tiox: yea i would kinda be bumbed if i couldnt use a theme bc of this, and i try changing the windows color and the applet color changes with it [07:08] http://pastie.org/1220009 [07:08] shaheenery, try users [07:08] ssb still loads despite being blacklisted [07:08] Anyone have an idea on where the settings for ambiance/radiance applet background is? [07:09] hey guys - looks like libmozjs-dev was removed in lucid - any idea how i can get spidermonkey now? [07:09] Happens on New Wave too. [07:09] ssb is probably loaded because of b43 being loaded.. so b43 needs to be blacklisted not just ssb [07:09] But on any of the older Gnome themes, there's no problem. [07:09] hatake_kakashi: both are blacklisted [07:10] Who the hell thought having pre-defined applet backgrounds was alright?! [07:10] RudyValencia, and are they still loaded? [07:10] b43, b43legacy, bcm43xx, and ssb are all blacklisted [07:10] i have another problem. my shell script needs to set some environment variables. but after the script has executed, the variables are still not set. does anybody have any idea what is going on? [07:10] maybe you didn't configure blacklist properly or its not in the right location [07:11] tiox: its quite annoying right? [07:11] Hell yeah it is! [07:11] hi [07:11] i'm wars [07:11] 1468 other people, no idea haha [07:11] I found this problem before, but I shrugged. Now I'm getting angry. [07:11] deadroot, think you need to export those variables but check with #bash or whichever shell you are using [07:12] I'm not on gnome and I'm not using the latest version so I can't assist === Wraith is now known as Guest39546 [07:12] hatake_kakashi: no users does the same thing [07:12] hatake_kakashi: I put them in as I usually do [07:13] hatake_kakashi, use Raidance or Ambiance and change the background color. [07:13] (the blacklist lines) [07:13] Oh... [07:13] the script is supposed to export the variables. everything worked fine when running in my virtualbox fresh copy of ubuntu 9.04, but things are breaking in the old production server that's also using ubuntu 9.04 [07:13] Oops, nvm. [07:13] shaheenery, is the device mounted as ntfs? I think ntfs has issues even if you did specify mounting as users, you need to mount it under your id and group id specifying that in the mount [07:13] blacklist b43, blacklist b43legacy, blacklist bcm43xx, blacklist ssb (each on separate lines, no commas [07:14] hmm [07:14] I has an idea. Is there an area where the themes are stores? [07:14] RudyValencia, weird, but does manually unloading of drivers work? [07:14] stored* [07:14] hatake: no, it's not NTFS [07:14] would 'screen' have any effect on export? [07:14] shaheenery, is it FAT32? [07:14] I am thinking it's a special entry in a theme file's text that invokes the background on applets. [07:14] hatake_kakashi: lemme reboot and see what happens [07:15] brb [07:15] k [07:15] no, screen isn't a reason. the same behaviour outside of screen [07:15] tiox: yea gksu nautilus /usr/share/themes [07:16] and i can set the variables manually === Guest39546 is now known as Wraithulek [07:16] but the script just can't seem to set the variables :( [07:17] hatake: yes W95 FAT32 [07:17] I'm back [07:17] is what sudo fdisk -l says [07:17] still no WiFi [07:18] lsmod lists ssb as loaded but not used [07:18] it's still loading [07:18] Some odd reason, /usr/share/themes/ambiance/ambiance can't be opened. [07:18] deadroot: An application can't change the environment variables of its parent process. [07:18] What type of file are these unopenable files? [07:18] deadroot: What are you actually trying to do? [07:19] tiox: could u be using the theme [07:19] deadroot: And how? [07:19] running a "setenvironment.sh" file that is supposed to set environment variables [07:19] works fine on my virtualbox install [07:19] deadroot: "run" it how? [07:20] "-bash-3.2$ ./setenvironment.sh" [07:20] deadroot: That can't possibly work. [07:20] why not? [07:20] deadroot: You need to source the script, not execute it as a separate process. [07:20] hmm [07:21] deadroot: An application cannot change the environment variables of its parent process. [07:21] okay [07:21] deadroot: "source ./setenvironment.sh" [07:21] okay [07:21] that is strange... [07:21] brb [07:21] RudyValencia, hmm weird, I suppose one could hack up a script to automatically remove ssb on reboots/bootup [07:22] Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense? [07:22] okay, my script is indeed using 'source ./setenvironment.sh' [07:22] I manually removed both ndiswrapper and ssb and then modprobe ndiswrapper [07:22] and even that doesn't work [07:22] Not relevant, but here's a weird bit: [07:22] # Style to set the toolbar to use a flat style. This is because the "New" button in [07:22] # Evolution is not drawn transparent. So if there is a gradient in the background it will [07:22] # look really wrong. [07:22] # See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446953. [07:22] tiox: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:23] That's in the gtkrc file, BTW [07:23] it shold have worked fine, but later on, the build script ran erroneously. the symptom is the same as the environment var not being set. i'll try again and see what happens this time. thanks Jordan_U [07:23] I don't want to break my usual habit of using LTS releases but I'm tempted to try 10.10 [07:23] my current change will be to 'sudo screen' [07:23] RudyValencia, that's what linux-backports are for [07:23] I have broken NTFS Partition, i can't resize it with gParted. When I want to mount it's error: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (266245181): Invalid argument [07:24] Is there a way to get a newer kernel? [07:24] if not a newer kernel may fix the issue [07:24] tiox: may i pm u [07:24] Rudy: There are some changes if you are using the default theme. [07:24] no its not ideal but its possible [07:24] How often is popularity-contest called? [07:24] newer than linux-image-2.6.32-25? [07:25] Active buttons and stufff will appear more orange. The scrollbar up/down buttons now have rounded ends to accommodate the rounded scrollbar And progress meters are less rounded. [07:25] alot newer if you enabled 10.10 release but again its not ideal [07:25] hm [07:25] so I can't have a newer version than 2.6.32-25? [07:25] :( [07:25] I meant 10.10 release repo [07:25] tiox: i have a work around for that color issue [07:25] okay, i've started yet another build run [07:25] no, you can submit a bug and hope/pray [07:25] What? [07:25] well you've already done that :) [07:26] I think I'll just go back to XP despite it being slow [07:26] jjs3: What have you found? [07:26] as mentioned before i'm using putty to do the runs. and as it may take more than twenty four hours, i'm using screen to do it. [07:26] Awww Rudy, don't do that to us. :P [07:26] I still use Ubuntu on my server though [07:26] and that's not gonna change [07:26] win32 putty + screen = disaster [07:26] Good man. [07:26] never figured out why that was though [07:26] and I can use it on my desktop alongside Win7 [07:26] my concern now is that whenever i use screen, then exit putty, then try to reattach via another putty window, it says that 'There is no screen to be resumed.'' [07:27] tiox, sudo apt-get install gcolor2 , take a sample of what color you want the panel to be, right click panel->properties-> background-> choose solid color _. and enter in your color code that gcolor gives you [07:27] should the standard 'mail' command be available in Ubuntu from terminal? [07:27] deadroot: oh did you detach or hit [X] on the win32 window ? [07:27] i hit the [x] [07:27] bad monkey zombie! baaad [07:27] you terminated screen by doing that [07:27] ^_^;;; [07:27] no, the screen is still running [07:28] tiox: oh and turn the opaque all the way to the right [07:28] but it says it is attached [07:28] well, it doesn't like [x] so use ctrl+a then ctrl+d [07:28] How can I use crosshurd package? !info crosshurd [07:28] like i said its a work around and not a fix [07:28] !info crosshurd [07:28] crosshurd (source: crosshurd): Install a Debian system. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.7.37 (maverick), package size 20 kB, installed size 172 kB [07:28] Huh. [07:28] I think I'm eating some bad pasta sauce, my stomach is making weird noises and my screen is getting wavy [07:28] Well, it still shouldn't require that! [07:28] tiox: I know, we should submit the bug [07:28] is there any way I can tell from the command line if my screen really is wavy, or if I should just go to the emergency room? [07:29] You do it. [07:29] tiox: haha ok [07:29] lucent: look somewhere other than the screen and see if that's wavy too [07:29] Doesn't effect me plenty because I like the default theme. [07:29] But link me, I'll back you up. [07:29] maco: can you type that in a non-wavy font? ;) [07:29] * lucent runs away from IRC [07:29] tiox: how do i do that? (link you) [07:30] Submit the bug and link me to the page it's on. [07:30] sorry, got disconnected [07:30] Copy the URL and paste. [07:30] lucent: okay, i'll try that. thanks. [07:30] ah [07:30] Yeaaaaah. [07:30] Tired? === deadroot1 is now known as deadroot [07:31] hello, i found a ubuntu upgrade bug [07:32] lucent: thanks. works like a charm. :) [07:32] I'm trying to merge directories and from what I've seen until now the tools are right down Pathetic. anyone has some advice ? [07:32] in the netbook version, when u try to upgrade, ther is a missing package [07:32] deadroot: some programs (like irssi) are smart enough to dettach themselves when asked to [07:32] thanks for the tip [07:32] deadroot: that's called "screen-awareness" but you know, the other ten million programs out there have no clue and you must get into a ctrl-a-d habit [07:33] http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/netbook-meta/ubuntu-netbook_2.035_i386.deb not found says [07:33] okay will do [07:34] i got bug on opening a compiz. about glXDestroyPixmap / GLX 1.3 is not supported.. any ideas?? [07:34] deadroot: another pro tip for you, typing ~. in an ssh session will kill that ssh session [07:34] deadroot: useful if the program you're running remotely barfs, or the connection is disrupted [07:34] typing successive ~'s I think will go deeper into the rabbit hole [07:34] i.e. ~~. to kill 2-deep ssh session [07:35] I think I'm going to reinstall on this machien [07:35] *machine [07:35] probably just get 10.10 and install it [07:35] buenos dias alguien que hable spanish ? [07:36] carlotolinero: That is not a bug, it's a harmless warning you can ignore [07:36] RudyValencia: be sure to burn a CD, the usb flash process is not quite working in my experience [07:36] yeah [07:36] I'm gonna download it via bittorrent [07:36] lucent: thanks again. ^_^;; [07:36] brb moving to another PC [07:37] hi [07:37] :o [07:37] my USB flash disk didn't show [07:37] Is there a way to tell apt to always install -dev and -doc versions of packages? [07:38] soreau: sorry thought this is counted as a bug. so everytime i open my laptop i must always type Compiz at the terminal? tnx [07:38] jey: not that I am aware of, never heard of it [07:38] jey: you could write a script that searches your installed package list for not-installed versions of the package that are -dev and -doc [07:38] time to write a script then [07:38] carlotolinero: it doesnt start automatically if you set it in software sources? [07:38] lucent: will do, thanks [07:39] jey: alternately, you can use apt-get build-dep packagename to install the dependancy packages needed to build a particular program [07:39] think that might be what you want [07:39] I untarred some elf executable files, and now they won't run saying "No such file or directory" does anyone know what's wrong? [07:39] Greetings [07:40] How do I change my Apt preferences? [07:40] maco i already install it there i just updated awahile ago and this happened [07:40] carlotolinero: Or you can make a new launcher with compiz as the command and have it as a startup application... [07:40] lorph, you need to append ./ after giving it execute permissions [07:40] tiox how can i do that. sorry newbie here [07:41] Well, what are you trying to do? [07:41] What do you speak of?

[07:53] no, I mean you can apt-get install gcc-4.1 [07:54] the executable will be named gcc-4.1 [07:54] lucent, well it wanted me to upgrade grub so I did but I told it to keep my local files instead of upgrading to the maintainer version [07:54] how you make that work I leave as an exercise for you :) [07:54] deadroot: it should be possible to have multiple back versions of gcc [07:54] it's not listed. first thing i tried when testing 10.10 [07:54] deadroot: i think there is a 4.1 package [07:54] glithcd: multiple logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ [07:54] glithcd: err... why didn't you use maintainer version? [07:54] deadroot: and it would be located as gcc-4.1, so you'd need to modify CC and CXX in your build scripts [07:55] maybe it was recently changed then. i tried uncommenting everything in the apt/sources.list and nothing [07:55] lucent, I wanted to keep my grub the way I edited it [07:55] is there a place that I can have applications startup after the initial desktop loads? I know I could put it in the startup application list but it loads to soon there [07:55] deadroot: use the software sources manager, if you can === Molly is now known as Guest27975 [07:55] Ahhhh, having extreme problems in 10.10. ZynaddsubFX no longer works! I can't get a single sound out of it and it's slow as heck! xD [07:55] Guest27975: is jackd set up correctly? [07:55] no, CC and CXX was not sufficient. i had to relink gcc and g++ to 4.1 for the build to succeed. i would otherwise get buffer overflow errors when running the resulting server application [07:56] lucent | maco | hatake_kakashi look this http://imagebin.org/118432 [07:56] lucent: in Lucid, I didn't need JACK - I just used Zyn by itself, not with anything else or any sound running in the background [07:56] because somehow, it used both 4.1 and 4.3 (probably for some of the different dependent packages within the source) [07:56] deadroot: pretty sure that the alternatives system handles that [07:56] okay, i'll look into that later [07:56] Guest27975: okay, here's a hint, use jackd [07:56] Hi! My iPod says "No Songs" when i turn it on [07:56] deadroot: software that depends on a specific version of a specific compiler is not maintainable [07:56] deadroot: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo sh -ex /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig" ? [07:57] Jordan_U: do you really mean me? [07:57] tho all the files are on it, every player except iTunes can read it fine, and Banshee spent about an hour "rebuilding the database" (..so where is it?) [07:57] deadroot: No, sorry. [07:57] lucent: did u see the link? [07:57] ok === bruno is now known as Guest93635 [07:57] maco: did u see the link? http://imagebin.org/118432 [07:57] glithcd: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo sh -ex /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig" ? === Guest93635 is now known as brunot [07:58] txomon: ah, yes. I think your mirror is bad, I told you, try to use a different mirror and to apt-get update before the upgrade [07:58] hi here [07:58] lucent: tell me another mirror, cos thats the mirror I have... [07:58] how to edit your dual boot? seems that 3 kernels and 3 recovery showing up [07:58] Jordan_U, sure [07:58] tensorpudding: yes. it is quite a pain, but i'm not up to the task of fixing 100MB of *.tar.gz worth of code [07:58] lucent: but I don't want to lol - if it worked with Jack in Lucid, why would it stop? I mean, do I have to use jack? i didn't before :O [07:59] Hello [07:59] anyone having sound issues with 10.10 ? [07:59] lucent: * worked WITHOUT my bad xD [07:59] Guest27975: 'lol'. [07:59] Could please someone help me? I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 using the alternate CD. The installation hangs on "Updating the list of available packages... [07:59] good luck trying to make that work in anything other than jack. 'lol'. [08:00] deadroot: if it really requires that you use a specific version of gcc in one spot, and a specific version of gcc in another, you're likely to have trouble [08:00] lucent: So, in 10.10, I have to use Jack, is what you're saying. [08:00] i have issues on 10.10 unity [08:00] you could try compiling the different parts with different gcc versions, but i have no idea if you'll be able to link them [08:00] lol [08:00] !details | brunot [08:00] brunot: 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 ..." [08:00] about compiz.. cant start automatically [08:00] carlotolinero: right yeah [08:01] Guest27975: the only other non-jack toolkit that has active development is PortAudio in conjunction with Mixxx, and even that is falling to pieces. Use JACK, is what I'm suggesting. [08:01] tensorpudding: no. it needs to use 4.1 all the way through. i believe it was some third-party package within the code base that somehow ignored CC and CXX [08:01] i always type Compiz on the terminal :) [08:01] carlotolinero: Compiz does not work with Unity [08:01] Jordan_U, Here you are: http://pastebin.com/mBJ6DLMn [08:01] deadroot: okay [08:01] Lucent: ah, okay. and that will solve the speed issue, as well? because its beyond laggy - didn't seem to do that before [08:01] i had to relink g++ and gcc to fix that, instead of depending on CC and CXX [08:01] with the help of a team, you can view all open ports on your PC??? [08:01] deadroot: it's possible that the part that is broken by 4.3 is something which could be easily changed, like some sort of deprecated code [08:01] hatake_kakashi: agh I found out, I didn't have lib32z1 installed to run x86 programs :( [08:02] details: audio was working perfect on 10.04. After the upgrade to 10.10: sound does not play on internal speakers, I can only hear throught headset with bad quality. And also can hear through HDMI [08:02] Guest27975: I understand your concern, and JACK is not always the easiest thing to set up, but please go learn it and be happier for it with all your serious audio needs :) [08:02] carlotolinero: its not compatible with mutter [08:02] I was and am still using pulseaudio + alsa [08:02] with the help of a team, you can view all open ports on your PC??? [08:03] but can i still run it? what do you suggest? [08:03] brunot: mixer interfaces may have changed between ALSA versions included in the new kernel for 10.10 release... so, I think that's annoying but you have to play with the mixer settings [08:03] carlotolinero: no not with Unity [08:03] glithcd: "sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme.save" [08:03] lucent: Listen, I know Jack, it's great and I all, I just hate using it. I came on because Zyn worked *without Jack before, and that was my inquiry. Why would it suddenly need Jack in 10.10 whereas in 10.04 it didn't? That's the question I'm getting at. (And I don't mean to sound blunt. xD) [08:03] when i want add chmod [08:03] it error [08:03] carlotolinero: with the normal desktop version or KDE or LXDE or XFCE, and so on, sure [08:03] bash: /media/Wszystko/DiabloInstall/D2-1.12A-enUS/Installer.exe: Permission denied [08:03] lucent: I played with everything avail in the mixer... [08:04] tensorpudding: perhaps, but i lack the knowledge and experience to identify if it is such a case [08:04] brunot: oh, 'advanced' things in alsamixer, even? [08:04] or gnome-alsamixer [08:04] carlotolinero: ok so your on a net book? [08:04] lucent: what do you mean by "advanced" ? [08:04] about two months ago, i had not really experienced working with any *nix [08:04] sebsebseb: yes [08:04] Jordan_U, chmod: cannot access `/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme.sav': No such file or directory glithcd@glithcd-laptop:~$ [08:05] carlotolinero: you may want to try out Lubuntu/LXDE its nice, and more lite waight than Xubuntu/XFCE also you can run compiz in it [08:05] brunot: there are simple mixer controls, but then there are also advanced mixer controls. I think 'gnome-alsamixer' program shows you advanced mixer controls if you'd like [08:05] glithcd: You forgot the 'e' at the end. === Selac246 is now known as Selac [08:05] !lubuntu | carlotolinero [08:05] carlotolinero: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [08:05] Jordan_U, ok the command went through [08:05] Jordan_U, Should that be it? [08:05] brunot: 'gnome-alsamixer' Edit | Sound Card Properties and check everything? [08:05] glithcd: Yes, now try "sudo apt-get -f install". [08:06] lucent: yes I did all that [08:06] lucent: how can i report that my mirror is bad¿? [08:06] Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense? [08:06] sebsebseb: can i save space in that? coz im on my laptop mini :) [08:06] txomon: I don't think that is reportable problem, it's bad... so like it is raining outside, well, maybe it won't be raining later :) [08:06] carlotolinero: sure it won't take up that much space, and you get good basic apps [08:07] lucent: not sure it might help, but I tried to boot from the 10.04 live CD (64 bits): audio works fine. I looked all the alsamixer settings [08:07] carlotolinero: by default with it [08:07] bullgard4: Why do you think it's nonsense? [08:07] carlotolinero: however if you then want stuff that didn't come with it, can still install that or most of it === Wraith is now known as Wraithulek [08:07] lucent: ok... ah! I can update from central server! [08:07] carlotolinero: I mean you run Gnome and KDE apps for example inside Lubuntu/LXDE [08:07] carlotolinero: can run [08:07] txomon: "main" Canonical server should always be correct [08:07] lucent: then booted on 10.10 live CD (32 & 64 bits), and also cheched the alsamixer settings: they were the same, and no audio [08:07] does anynody know how to install ubuntu 10.04 server on IBM x3850m2? [08:08] need some hrlp [08:08] brunot: I don't know if the mixer interface changed, or if there is now a regression for your device [08:08] Jordan_U, Thanks, it seems to be installing linux-image2.6.35 just fine now. [08:08] !ask | zulfi [08:08] zulfi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:08] Jordan_U: Because the compute does not need to. It already has a sapshot. Otherwise the computer cold not resum-from-disk. [08:08] brunot: I'm very simple what I know about Linux Kernel, not much for programming [08:08] sebsebseb: ok thats why im having problems with unity. hehe i ddnt know that compiz theres is not compatible [08:08] ok [08:08] s/compute/computer/ [08:08] sebsebseb:thanks pal [08:08] glithcd: You're welcome. [08:08] brunot: it would be helpful if I could guide you to dump the ALSA driver registers for inspection, but I do not know how [08:08] Jordan_U, A reboot should be all I need now. [08:09] I count not install neither 32bit version nor 64bit version. [08:09] carlotolinero: Compiz isn't compatible with Gnome Shell either, which is nice, currently has a development version, but Ubuntu should be using that by default with the rest of Gnome 3 next year :) === deadroot1 is now known as deadroot [08:09] lucent: thanks a lot for your help ! Do you know if there is someone knowing more about audio and interested in finding/fixing bugs ? [08:09] carlotolinero: both Unity and Gnome Shell use mutter [08:09] and I do not want change to RHEL or centos, I want keep both my dev and deploy environment on same os: ubuntu. [08:10] bullgard4: Part of the "s2disk snapshotting *system*" is the code to resume from disk. At least that would make sense to me. [08:10] How do I change my Apt preferences? [08:10] anybody helps me. [08:10] cnwesleywang: anyway ok your welcome :) [08:10] carlotolinero: ^ [08:10] lucent: I think I saw many different groups ont irc for different topics, but none regarding sound/audio [08:10] brunot: there is an ALSA user's mailing list, but no forum or IRC will help you with this [08:10] bullgard4: NVM, it's late and I failed at reading comprehention. [08:11] brunot: sound device programmers are not likely to hang out on IRC answering questions, that is what I see [08:11] I installed ubuntu 10.04 server version on 3850M2 it stopped after choose language. [08:11] Jordan_U: Right. Thank you. [08:11] brunot: it is a good thing that you are able to boot 10.04 livecd and your sound is working, that will be useful in your process to find out which registers are set that make it work for you [08:11] lucent: ok, would you mind giving me a link to get the mailing list address & rules to use it, if you know it ? [08:11] how do I set my notifications to reflect new mail. I always have to manually click the taskbar where the mail icon is to see if I have any new mail. I was under the impression that it would be automatic [08:11] and for ubuntu 10.04 server amd64 version it says that can not found any hard disk. [08:12] brunot: links would be at alsa-project.org website, so I will look there too [08:12] lucent: looking right now [08:12] I prefer install 32bit version for that's our dev environment. [08:13] brunot: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user [08:13] lucent: there seem to be a lot if things on this, including details to debug, etc... So I will try 1st, before annoying anybody [08:13] am trying to install splinter cell conviction, and its saying i need to install DirectX for the game to run, but i have wine to work with it, and every time i try to install the DirectX its says...An internal system error occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your windows folder to determine problem, and am like saying to my self i dont use bumb windows, so anyone in this room can see what am talking about? [08:14] What program can record time spent on using each program in system? [08:14] brunot: I am sure that the important fact is that you can make it work with (Ubuntu 10.04 livecd) and that it is not working with (Ubuntu 10.10 livecd), because now you can reproduce the issue easily [08:15] no one have installed ubuntu server on IBM x3850 ever? [08:15] how is there a way to install Directx [08:15] yep. I would suppose it is a low level issue [08:15] zulfi: there is not. [08:15] oh i see [08:15] zulfi: ##windows ? [08:15] zulfi, I don't think DirectX works on Linux. === jussi01_ is now known as jussi [08:15] zulfi: are you a programmer writing a game [08:16] !appdb | zulfi [08:16] zulfi: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [08:16] not really just a kid trying to play one of my good game on ubuntu 10.10 [08:16] I must have a really rare problem or this community has no idea how ubuntu works... [08:16] but it seems like it wont play with out the Direstx crap! [08:17] gah [08:17] bye guys. thanks for teaching me ^_^ [08:17] has anybody had success installing Unity/UNE (Maverick) on the dell mini 10 (intel gma500) [08:18] atude: or they don't answer obvious questions for which you can find the answer by clicking the 1st link google gives you if you type it there [08:19] brunot: I thought about that, but apparently that's not the way to go.. [08:20] atude: maybe 2nd link then ? ;) [08:20] atude: jk :) [08:20] atude: What "Apt preferences" are you trying to change? [08:20] brunot: no... I guess you didn't see any of my questions, so it'd make sense for you to not know what i'm talking about [08:21] brunot: google is unable to help fix 10.10 update issues [08:21] brunot: think there's probably a bug somewhere, and should probably report it [08:21] atude: just saw 1: "how to change the apt preferences". [08:21] it sucks that they don't make windows games compatible for ubuntu 100$. what quishtions me why wont they make it like that? [08:21] i meant 100% [08:22] brunot: I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/27A5MEKf <-- how do I fix this? [08:22] !ot | zulfi [08:22] zulfi: #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! [08:22] [08:22] how to install ubuntu on IBM x3850? [08:22] atude: lol, yeah now I understand why you're here :) [08:22] brunot: going though with many things, I've determined that changing my configs could help, or break everything [08:22] atude: Next time add "http://" to your links, it makes then easier to go to for us lazy voluteers :) [08:22] atude: Is that the complete output? Does apt freeze there or exit? [08:23] zulfi: you can try an app named "crossover" [08:23] Jordan_U: exits [08:24] atude: What command did you run that gave that output? [08:24] Jordan_U: just about anything apt-get will give me that output [08:25] atude: fastest resolution may be a backup, then clean re-install and restore your data [08:25] atude: just suggesting maybe that would save you time. [08:25] Jordan_U: specifically though, -f -s --reinstall dist-upgrade [08:25] lucent: I'd rather learn to fix the issue rather than not learn to fix the issue [08:25] hey guys [08:25] hi guys [08:25] I have tweetdeck in the err. systray.. (top right), what the keyboard shortcut to bring to screen as it doesnt show in alt+tab like minimized programs? [08:26] atude: What about "sudo dpkg --configure -a"? [08:26] i'm looking at grep swap /etc/fstab [08:26] i wanted to test some lighter desktop environment - what would be better choice - xfce or fluxbox? [08:26] Jordan_U: just errors out [08:26] Jordan_U: too many errors [08:26] atude: yeah, I agree, but it sounds like you have hit a landmine [08:26] atude: Could you pastebin those errors? [08:26] how do i tell if my swap is in use, or if i should remove it? [08:26] Jordan_U: sec [08:26] # swap was on /dev/sdb6 during installation [08:26] UUID=ccd0fd9f-62b9-457a-8558-8a2255f4937b none swap sw 0 0 [08:26] # swap was on /dev/sdb7 during installation [08:26] UUID=15be132a-7da5-4459-8693-845323963dc9 none swap sw 0 0 [08:26] plum: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:26] ahh ok, sorry [08:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/512949/ [08:27] Hi. [08:27] mattcodes: don't know, think that's not possivle [08:28] typo... argh [08:28] ^ looking at that, is it safe to remove my swap partitions since they were used only (to my knowledge) in installation? [08:28] damn, was hoping to do a day without the mouse [08:28] found it ctrl+alt+tab [08:29] plum, swap is used all time while your os is running. i wouldnt remove swap. [08:29] mattcodes: oh, does that work for your app? I thought it selected the top level objects (panels, etc.) only? [08:30] it works for tweetdeck [08:30] other stuff like dropbox [08:30] cant see [08:30] ortsvorsteher: but i have two swap partitions (one from an install that didn't work, i believe) [08:30] i'm trying to figure out if i should remove one or both, if one or both is not being used [08:30] that log doesn't show if it's being used...? i don't know how to interpret them [08:31] gonna read the alsa site, ttyl [08:31] plum, just try out which swap partition isnt used, remove this one. [08:31] lucent: thanks for your help & support ! === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [08:31] ortsvorsteher: i don't know which one is used & which one isn't,, i tried swapon -s and couldn't understand it [08:31] Is anybody here familiar with mime-types and troubleshooting why file is unable to determine mime-type of items in the magic db? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9969789 [08:32] They both say under 'Used': 0 [08:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/512951/ [08:32] Sandking: Are you using a laptop? [08:33] chu_: yes, netbook to be precise [08:33] Jordan_U: I"m having problem logging that since it's just writing to the tty [08:33] hi, my laptop doesn't boot on kernel 2.6.35-22 but it works on 2.6.32-25 is it a know issue ? [08:33] chu_: i remember i tried some distro which was really minimalistic but can't remember how it was called [08:34] plum, /dev/sdb6 is your first swap device, /dev/sdb7 is with prior 2 a second swap device [08:34] quite news, designed with netbooks in mind [08:34] hey guys what are the repositories with the newer packages? [08:34] Sandking: Do you mind using the terminal? [08:34] plum, may you try to read "man swapoff" and turn off swap on /dev/sdb7 [08:35] ortsvorsteher: are either of them not in use then...? cause if it says under 'Used' 0, i interpret that as "not being used"... [08:35] chu_: wel, i use it from time to time to do simple stuff, but i'd like to have gui desktop [08:35] atude: sudo dpgk --configure -a > /tmp/dpkg_configure_log 2>&1 [08:35] ortsvorsteher: i can turn swap off from gui in gparted though, right? [08:35] Jordan_U: ah, there we go [08:36] chu_: why did you ask? [08:36] plum, if i make swapon -s on my machine, it shows me also the 0 on my swap device. it doesnt seems to to show that swap is not used. [08:36] hi guya [08:36] ah, okay. how much space is your swap partition, ortsvorsteher ? is it around 700mb? [08:36] plum, i never tried to turn off swap in gparted. i take a look at man page [08:36] hmmmm, okay [08:36] Sandking: Well, it just depends. For instance, connecting to wireless isn't as automatic in fluxbox as it is in say gnome, or even xfce, just requires a bit of fiddling. [08:36] my flash drive wont open on windows [08:37] plum, my swap partition is 11GB. [08:37] do i need to write a autorun.text file [08:37] oh wow [08:37] i see [08:37] i formated using ubuntu [08:37] Sandking: If you don't mind getting dirty (so to speak), I strongly recommend fluxbox, but I don't know to what extent you are prepared to play around. [08:37] so why would i have two swap partitions if yours has one? i think that would be unnecessary [08:38] what management tool / music player can i use to rebuild my iPod's database? [08:38] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/CHB5H6ac [08:38] and now i cant seet dispay on my computer on windows and i use to move files around [08:38] chu_: thx, i'll try it then [08:38] banshee did it, and found everything, but it didn't really make it so that my iPod knows there's stuff on it [08:38] HI [08:38] plum, yes, one swap partition would be enough. how much memory your system has? [08:39] my system has 4gb [08:39] what is the short cut to use a previosly used command ... instead of typing agian ... on Ubuntu? [08:39] tgywa: !! I think [08:39] tgywa, up-arrow, or history [08:39] plum, i would take minimum 4GB of swap space than, normally you take 1,5 times memory. [08:40] Saluton ⚘ [08:40] Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense? [08:40] Gnea, I always use history command and up arrow ... but for eg ... when u use history, you may need copy the command to use it ... [08:40] ortsvorsteher: i'm lacking that space at the moment... should i just delete one of the swaps and grow the other one with the space i gain from the deleted swap partition? [08:41] tgywa: look for the number, then do !number. [08:41] atude: Could you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy libc6" and "apt-cache policy libc6-amd64" ?

[08:53] I will try it [08:53] Thanks:_ [08:53] atude: Part of the problem may be that you have the maverick proposed repository enabled, but since you've already started installing packages from -proposed removing it now probably won't help much (you need proposed packages now to resolve dependancies). [08:53] Jordan_U: how should I go about doing that?

[08:56] * Gnea holds on tight [08:57] Coolslai, what host [08:57] I have Win XP SP3 [08:57] Coolslai: make sure you have the iso downloaded [08:57] Coolslai, install vbox, load the ubuntu iso [08:57] where do i get an iso DL? [08:58] www.ubuntu.com [08:58] Coolslai: same place you usually get ubuntu from [08:58] yeah but i dont see a place where it says iso DL [08:58] ive never used ubuntu btw [08:58] ah [08:58] i have no idea wat im doin [08:58] just go to download it [08:58] it's always an iso [08:58] :) [08:58] i got a win RAR [08:58] also try #vbox [08:58] that won't do [08:59] well it DLed as a RAR file [08:59] Coolslai: the .iso is a cd image, just download it and plug it into vbox. there should be documentation for vbox to make it happen. [08:59] Coolslai: well then it did something wrong [08:59] instructions? [08:59] Teamviewer? [08:59] what? [08:59] <_ruben> winrar tends to recognize .iso files as archives [09:00] !vbox [09:00] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [09:00] well what should i do to fix it? [09:00] are you sure it's broken? [09:01] im sure [09:01] its DLed as a RAR file [09:01] if u want i can have u TV me [09:01] if u know what that is [09:01] teamviewer.com [09:01] I know what it is, and I'd prefer not to. [09:01] oh okay... ugh... i need this done... >.< [09:01] it shouldn't save as a .rar it should save as a .iso [09:01] so, 'save as' not 'open with', obviously [09:02] i saved it [09:02] Coolslai: be calm, patient and take the time, and it will get done. we're not getting paid here, so you'll need the patience. [09:02] idk why its RAR though [09:03] okay, try to rename it to a .iso file [09:03] kk [09:03] hey can some one give me a hand, im very desperate and a massive noob. just installed ubuntu to run xbmc on my htpc after windows stuffed up and i got some problems and questions. such as that all my data is on NTFS formatted drives and i need them to access xbmc so all my shows and movies are there, and to allow sharing on them so the whole house can stream and add remove things [09:03] still looks like a rar file [09:03] make sense? [09:03] and if you haven't already, /join #vbox [09:04] i have [09:04] Coolslai: that makes no sense at all, it should just be an .iso file [09:04] idk... it downloadded into a WinRAR file [09:04] morning [09:04] Gnea: try running him through running file on it to determine the mimetype. [09:05] lhavelund: he's in windows. [09:05] Oh, right. [09:05] Nevermind. [09:05] he probably has some half-a.. download manager that interferes or whatever [09:05] no i dont [09:05] Coolslai: well, did you get vbox installed? [09:05] yea [09:05] so run it [09:05] now what? [09:06] what do you need this for anyhow? [09:06] can anyone help? [09:06] Yes, usually someone can help [09:07] im going to wipe this hard drive and save the stuff i need, and im debating on downloading a modded version of win7 (Win8) or chosing ubuntu... i h ave heard ubuntu is better than windows... === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [09:07] man, whats w/ the netsplits [09:07] Coolslai: please repeat? [09:07] im going to wipe this hard drive and save the stuff i need, and im debating on downloading a modded version of win7 (Win8) or chosing ubuntu... i h ave heard ubuntu is better than windows... [09:08] Coolslai, depends what you are using your computer for [09:08] Coolslai, well, it depends on what you do... [09:08] Coolslai: well, the right tool for the right job, can't go wrong there [09:08] i use it for a shit load of things [09:08] Coolslai, language [09:08] don't expect to insert the latest disk of Grand Theft Auto and expect everything to run ssmoothly [09:08] Coolslai: we also don't swear in here [09:08] srry [09:08] Coolslai, i wouldn't recommend it, especially if it's your fist linux distro === spidla_ is now known as spidla [09:09] Have it to play around with before you totally switch over [09:09] Coolslai: well, you'll need to ask #vbox about setting up a new session and getting that part running [09:09] well i use it for gaming, coding, internet, school, and media... [09:09] pretty much everything [09:09] Coolslai: okay, then ubuntu should work just fine, with some modifications and adjustments here and there [09:09] anyways, I'm trying to install grub from a live-disk that no longer has ubuntu partitioned on it, I don't know how to repair the MBR from a windows side of things, but i'm having trouble installing the actual grub itself to my box. (mounted Sda1 already) [09:10] alright, but do you know how i can cetup this iso file thing? [09:10] its so cofuzzling [09:10] Coolslai, "gaming" on ubuntu has gotten better but it' [09:10] Coolslai, gaming might be your only issue... I would start w/ a dual boot setup, rather than immediately nuking Windows [09:10] Coolslai: first of all, you need to get vbox running, which is what #vbox is for [09:10] s still a task and a half note that you probably won't have support for the games windows might have had before [09:10] KM0201: depending on what games he wants to play [09:10] i was thinking sual boot, but i wanted oto know which i should use as my master [09:10] ubuntu has plenty of decent games, some of them aren't mainstream [09:11] Gnea, true... but Wine/Gaming.. is far from perfect for Windows games... [09:11] Gnea :P they are amazing to be honest. [09:11] Coolslai: whichever you're comfortable with [09:11] wat u mean i need vbox running? [09:11] Gnea, i agree.. i love Urban Terror... [09:11] KM0201: I was refering more to native linux games [09:11] Coolslai, Virutal Box [09:11] what's this [09:11] i have it installed and running fine... i just need i tsetup [09:11] binchel, I'm not sure, what IS this ? [09:11] kai696: yeah, I enjoy some now and then [09:11] i have it installed and running fine... i just need i tsetup [09:12] coolslai, burn ISO to disk using image burner (PowerISO, Nero, so on) [09:12] !ubuntu | binchel [09:12] binchel: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [09:12] i have nero i think [09:12] wbut i dont have the iso [09:12] Coolslai: for now, you're better off getting vbox to work [09:12] Would anyone have a moment look over my delima ?? ( can repost is needed ) [09:13] kai696: do it [09:13] i download and its WinRar [09:13] Coolslai, that's because winrar associate with .iso file [09:13] Coolslaianyways, I'm trying to install grub from a live-disk that no longer has ubuntu partitioned on it, I don't know how to repair the MBR from a windows side of things, but i'm having trouble installing the actual grub itself to my box. (mounted Sda1 already) [09:13] Coolslai: okay, let's try this again - go to the ubuntu site, and when it asks you what you want to do with it, you say "save as..." [09:13] Coolslai, forget winrar and just burn it with a image burning software [09:13] *burn to disc [09:13] Coolslai: ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [09:13] okay [09:14] okay [09:14] Gnea my post was part of a Coolslai reply haha sorry it is reposted however [09:14] wat do i save it as? winRAr file or "all files" [09:14] Coolslai, for your own good, change Windows file explorer preferences to not to hide known filename extension [09:15] Coolslai, those you get from http://ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download are ISO (disc image) [09:15] kai696: wait, you say you DON'T know how to use fixmbr in windows? :) [09:15] Coolslai : Winrar has the ability to take over ISO files so if it shows and a winRAR icon it doesn't mean it IS winRAR format [09:15] hello everyone, now i begin install Ubuntu 10.10, but i'm thinking how about partitions. /boot, /home, /tmp, /usr, /var, /, ... [09:15] :P well not without a disc, Gnea [09:15] Coolslai: all files [09:15] my hdd space is 200GB [09:15] well thats wa happened [09:15] Coolslai, WinRar is involved here because when you install WinRar, you tell it to be the default application to handle ISO too [09:15] anyone help me to fix it,plz ! [09:15] Coolslai, but winrar could only extract ISO, not burning to disc [09:15] anybody know what version of alsa comes with maverick? [09:15] zipp0, What's the problem? [09:16] okaty, so in short what should i do? re download? or what? [09:16] zipp0: forget partitioning into a million pieces.. 20gb for /, rest /home [09:16] zipp0: those are directories, not partitions... shouldn't need to split them up that drastically... /home on its own is usually good enough [09:16] zipp0, since you have asked such quesiton, you could forget those /tmp, /usr, /var... part. just like 15GB / (rootfs) and the rest for /home [09:16] zipp0, plus SWAP [09:16] zipp0: assuming this is a desktop [09:16] zipp0: meh, I'd say 80gb for /, rest for /home [09:16] Gnea any solution to my problem ?? [09:16] yeah swap of course [09:16] Gnea, 80GB for / ?! [09:17] 80? what for? [09:17] icarus-c: /var [09:17] almost half his drive [09:17] Gnea, clean it up a bit man [09:17] just ~10GB here [09:17] i use 2GB for swap [09:17] i mean the whole / [09:17] 10GB here for / too [09:17] is there any Chinese here? [09:17] icarus-c: heh, you don't use sql much I take it [09:17] 10-20 is more than enough to have room for upgrading etc. [09:17] 80GB for / ? i think it's too large [09:17] :D [09:17] binchel, yes. but we don't speak chinese on this channel [09:17] binchel: ^_^ [09:17] Coolslai: yes, just save it as an .iso file [09:17] binchel, for chinese , /join #ubuntu-cn [09:18] nazdar pelo [09:18] prdi [09:18] Coolslai, you don't have to redownload.... it is just WinRar registers itself as the default application to handle ISO [09:18] Gnea icarus-c kai696 : okay, so in short what should i do? re download? or what? [09:18] Coolslai, go to PM window [09:18] kk [09:18] @ everyone I'm trying to install grub from a live-disk that no longer has ubuntu partitioned on it, I don't know how to repair the MBR from a windows side of things, but i'm having trouble installing the actual grub itself to my box. (mounted Sda1 already) [09:18] Coolslai: did you see how I said to "save it as an .iso file"? yes, that means re-download it [09:18] redo the os [09:18] hehe [09:18] Coolslai, seriously, set not to hide file name extension in explorer, it helps [09:18] ohbut wat d o i do bout RAR? [09:19] Coolslai: kill it [09:19] Coolslai, screw winrar [09:19] but for the last time, i mean the time i'll install ubuntu 11.04, i don't want to backup data to another hdd [09:19] Coolslai: unrar it, run wubi.exe~ [09:19] unrar an iso ?... [09:19] NICE [09:19] need help with repo for installing xen 4.0 [09:19] so, how can i store all of my data on a "stable directory" [09:19] ? [09:20] zipp0, stable directory? [09:20] kai696: honestly, I'd just use a livecd on a cd or usb stick, boot that and follow directions for getting grub working again [09:20] zipp0: that's just what a separate /home partition is for, to be able to upgrade nicely [09:20] ecit: how do i un Rar it? [09:20] icarus-c: i mean, i don't want to move/backup my data to another devices to reinstall newest ubuntu [09:20] zipp0: upgrade won't touch /home [09:20] zipp0, just keep /home on another partition , that well no matter how you screw up the OS (/ rootfs) it wouldn't affect your user data [09:21] Gnea i'm not sure what you mean, I'm here because there aren't step-by-step instructions :P [09:21] Coolslai: just like a normal rar file.. [09:21] kai696: are you using grub 1 or grub2? [09:21] zipp0: you don't need to have /home on a separate partition to reinstall and not lose the contents of /home [09:21] ecit: oh u mean extract it? [09:21] Coolslai, kai696 you don't "unrar" an ISO... but extract it. WinRar could extract ISO, yes/ [09:21] zipp0: recent versions of Ubuntu have been able to reinstall over the top [09:21] Coolslai: eh , yes! [09:21] lol okay [09:21] need help with repo for installing xen 4.0 or latest on 10.10 desktop ? [09:21] Coolslai, do you want to burn to disc or what? [09:21] icarus-c, I know ? I never stated different [09:22] yeah i do [09:22] vega-: icarus-c: i think it's good for me :D But, if i won't upgrade, i'll reinstall over the older version ubuntu, that data will be ok? [09:22] but i have no spare discs... [09:22] Coolslai, use USB drive then [09:22] Coolslai: don't worry, for vbox you don't need a real cd, just point it at the iso [09:22] Gnea i'm not using anything, this box WAS duel-booting, but I nuked the ubuntu partition from windows management [09:22] okay [09:22] zipp0: if you choose to manually partition during install of 11.04 and _dont_ tick the 'format' option it will reinstall over the top and keep your /home data [09:22] popey: ah, really, thanks for that information :D [09:22] zipp0: yes it will, you just specify your old /home when reinstalling (remembering not to click "format") [09:22] kai696: well that's a fine how-ya-do lol [09:22] Gnea: And I know, my own stupid idea haha [09:23] zipp0, look..... all your data should sit in /home, if not, blame yourself for that. therefore, no matter how many times you format / rootfs, your /home on another partition is untouched [09:23] icarus-c: uhm, mysql data doesn't sit in /home === kaco is now known as Kaco [09:23] icarus-c: so its unfair to blame someone when their data isnt in /home [09:23] popey, that is another story right? [09:23] I am extracting it now.... i start wubi, then what? [09:23] Gnea: but anyways, I'd like to get my computer to be able to boot again so I either need to reinstall windows MBR from live CD or install grub from live-cd, either way I am strictly working only with linux [09:23] I am extracting it now.... i start wubi, then what? [09:23] icarus-c: no, not really [09:23] need help with repo for installing xen 4.0 or latest on 10.10 desktop [09:23] icarus-c: ok, i got it, thanks a lot :D [09:24] kai696: okay, so what version of ubuntu are you trying to work with? [09:24] Coolslai: like install a normal softwore, you can install ubuntu in windows [09:24] !xen [09:24] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [09:24] Gnea: 8.04 [09:24] but can i switch between windows and ubuntu?

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [09:25] kai696: see the restoregrub link :) [09:25] Coolslai, you could dual boot [09:25] ! note, it's not able to restore as the partition is no longer there [09:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:25] Coolslai: after install, reboot , you will see a menu for select os. have fan [09:25] how can i open director name 'new folder' as it have space in it??? [09:25] Coolslai: yes [09:25] @ Gnea [09:25] I'm getting this when trying to launch gnome-do: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/TDErDVkP . All the other mono software are broken too... What could cause this? [09:25] I've been reading a few forums and that is why I am here [09:25] Exploiter, cd "new folder" OR cd new\ folder [09:26] \join ubuntu-cn [09:26] / [09:26] kai696: you're missing the point. you said you wanted to reinstall grub, this will get you to reinstall grub. [09:26] I want to reinstall grub WITHOUT having a linux partition [09:26] okay, so lemme get tis straight, install ubuntu like regular, then restart my computer, and just pick which OS i wanna start? [09:26] kai696: I didn't say anything about reinstalling ubuntu. [09:26] okay, so lemme get tis straight, install ubuntu like regular, then restart my computer, and just pick which OS i wanna start? [09:26] kai696: yes, I know, so boot the livecd and do it. [09:26] icarus is this syntax corret? = cd /usr/"new folder"/file1/ [09:26] Coolslai: yes it is [09:26] Gnea I'm on the live cd :P but i'm having trouble haha that is why I am here mate [09:27] kai696: you need to have a small linux partition there for the grub files, it is inevitable [09:27] Exploiter, eh... good quesiton, i've never done that. but cd "/usr/new folder/file1/" [09:27] will i have to do permission s... to view all my files and stuff.... [09:27] Exploiter, are you really making a folder in /usr/ ? [09:27] ok thanks !! [09:27] what are the ports that need to be open for transmission to work properly? [09:27] Coolslai: worry about permissions later [09:27] just example [09:27] razz1, depends on your setting [09:27] Coolslai: just get it working first [09:27] Coolslai: You could operate windows's files in ubuntu [09:28] k [09:28] brb... [09:28] ecit: not natively [09:28] why not?.. [09:28] and what do you mean by natively? [09:28] ie: .exe files won't open without WINE [09:28] kai696: often be~ [09:28] (software not included with the ubuntu install) [09:28] kai696, you could be a good lawyer... [09:29] icarus-c if only I wasn't in computer ** [09:29] you could challenge the word "operate" /__\ [09:29] lol [09:29] i was at my friends house. we drank out. we made decisions the day after that we should drink again next week. [09:29] Damn right I could [09:29] ok ok [09:29] wtf is it download the iso torrent for on wubi? [09:30] icarus-c: like, I am using UFW, already added a rule for incoming connections port. But when I run nmap, it does not seem to be open [09:30] greamer: this has what to do with ubuntu? [09:30] greamer, wrong channel [09:30] Coolslai, tell wubi to use the iso you just downloaded (which is itself) [09:30] Hi! [09:30] Hi! [09:30] Hi! [09:30] What is the proper way to write a language like Arabic under Ubuntu 10.10? [09:30] razz1, what about your router/firewall [09:30] lol [09:30] it's a friends house. he has a laptop that i needed to check out before drinking. thought you should know. [09:30] greamer, stop that [09:31] ugh... ill just wait 2 hours... >.< ill be back in a about 2 hrs [09:31] greamer: I know a door you could check out [09:31] Greamer have you been drinking tonight? [09:31] icarus-c: no router, using mobile broadband, directly connected to net [09:31] next week. fo shew. [09:31] razz1, well probably mobile broadband would block incomming connections [09:31] razz1, but not sure. ask your ISP [09:32] icarus-c does transmission have encription ?? I thought it did [09:32] if so shouldn't be a problem to download torrents [09:32] kai696, the point is about ISP blocks all incoming connection [09:33] if you disable ufw (firewall), and you still can't get incoming connections in transmission or whatever. i suppose ISP is blocking it [09:34] it refers to all incoming connections [09:34] icarus-c I'm a lawer and I say objection ! ... under no reasonable grounds. [09:34] not just about BT detection and block it.. [09:34] but any incomming connection [09:34] think of a NAT network without port forwarding [09:35] "python -m SimpleHTTPServer " then use machine from another network to access http://:8000/ [09:36] eh wait [09:36] forget it [09:36] icarus-c: I get incoming connections, but the speed do not go above 10kb? used the google tool to check if my ISP was blocking torrents, came up negative. any other reason why speeds are so low [09:37] well that suggest your ISP is not blocking incoming connections [09:38] lol [09:38] I love you icarus-c [09:38] thanks [09:39] icarus-c: kai696: can you think of any reasons? i am at a loss [09:39] no peers? :P [09:39] razz1: who's your isp? [09:39] gnea: vodafone [09:39] razz1: no idea to be honest. if he's on a network then maybe modifying inc ports is probablyhis only solution if the ISP is not blocking inc [09:39] razz1: maybe the transmissions on the other end(s) are slow? [09:40] Gnea: one thing I have noticed is when I test the incoming port in transmission, it always says closed? not sure why? even without firewall [09:42] Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense? [09:42] bullgard4 snap-shot from wake ? that's odd lol [09:42] razz1: http://www.torrent-invites.com/bittorrent-discussion/70693-vodafone-prohibits-p2p-use-broadband-customers.html [09:43] Gnea: any other good client for ubuntu, I used to use utorrent in windows. [09:43] kai696: "wake" is an ambiguous term. It has several different meanings. [09:43] razz1: dunno, I'm at uni now so torrent is pretty much off-limits [09:44] uni is lovely [09:44] resume-from-disk, assuming disk is "sleep" you're waking it [09:44] it's not ambiguous when common sense is applied [09:44] kai696: Thank you for commenting. [09:45] isnt deluge any good and similar to mutorrent for windows? [09:45] well, one can have common sense and not know how to apply it [09:45] Gnea: lol [09:45] razz1, you can also run mutorrent with wine, it's supported [09:46] kai696: wouldn't you agree? how many normal, decent everyday people have you met that go absolutely back to the stone age when they don't re-apply common sense to the problem? [09:47] Tokumei: thanks, actually I can run it in windows VM but wanted to know if there were any alternative to run natively in ubuntu [09:47] Gnea: I'm not getting into this on the grounds that I'll get myself pissed off at stupid people that make no sense... too many now a days [09:48] kai696: but even they're a step up from the ones that just want to sit there and blame you for everything bad that's happened to them :) [09:48] How can I write Arabic in Ubuntu 10.10? [09:48] gnea: LOL [09:48] !arabic [09:48] For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [09:48] rapha: System>Administration>Language Support [09:48] rapha: I'm pretty sure they can help you in there with that [09:48] hopefully they speak english there ... thanks Gnea [09:48] rapha: good luck [09:48] kai696: already installed it :) [09:49] !arabic Rapha [09:49] !arabic [09:49] For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [09:50] * Gnea passes the summer sausage and cheese to kai696 [09:50] lol I'm not sure IRC action commands so I won't give it a go, [09:50] /me does something [09:50] :) [09:51] * kai696 is not sure why Gnea is passing him summer sausage and cheese, but gladly accepts, and eats. haha [09:51] * sdl_init [09:52] because it's an awesome snack at 4am [09:52] anyways, there's this attractive female that works at the Esso down the street that I'm going to sexually harrass for the next little while, or until Gparted finishes it's operation. for those curious about my install windows MBR from ubuntu live disk looks like the fix was sudo apt-get ms-sys [09:53] rapha, i think ibus/scim support arabic input. [09:53] Hi all, I have a weird dpkg problem - http://paste.ubuntu.com/512983/ [09:53] kai696: awesome [09:53] Gnea: I am, Aren't I [09:54] well, you can be full of yourself or full of sausage and cheese lol [09:54] hahahaha byee mate [09:54] later [09:55] rapha, and maybe you need to change keyboard layout too [09:55] rapha, aha! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGY3Bhce2CU [09:55] easier than i thought [09:58] ?

[10:01] Jordan_U: yeah, same error [10:02] atude: Try "sudo apt-get -f install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=0" again then. You should see more output than before. === Freejack is now known as Guest52569 [10:02] How do I flush the postfix send que without starting the service?

[10:03] Jordan_U: yes much more.. looks like there's some awk in there [10:03] anyone knows how to make ser2net connect to another computer? not listen for a connection [10:04] razz1, deluge is a native client. transmission is the default bittorrent client in ubuntu and it's my favorite bittorrent client on os x [10:05] I'm using desktop version, 10.10 on my netbook, but want to try remix. anybody can help me? [10:05] Hi all, I have a weird dpkg problem - http://paste.ubuntu.com/512983/ [10:05] hi. i messed up my files in initramfs-tools while writing some boot scripts. now i wonder how i can the whole folder get regenerated? which package do i have to install. i tried a lot, but none brought me back the original files (i moved /etc/initramfs-tools to a temp location so the new package should think it's nothing there and so install everything new) [10:05] @joshuakey on your login screen you can select different desktop sessions, chose one that is not Ubuntu Netbook Edition, because that is Unity [10:05] Roland: any connection, really [10:06] hi can anyone help me to get sound in Java on ubuntu 10.10? === nyamul is now known as Cartes [10:06] the java apps work but there is no sound output [10:06] Roland: you want to emulate a serial character device that transmits network data? [10:06] thanks, i'll try.twermund. [10:06] Tokumei: I just installed utorrent in windows VM and it works just fine with speeds hitting the max, I still cannot figure out why transmission is having issues? [10:07] razz1: which filesystem? [10:07] how to configure my system in order to use tor? [10:07] atude: Pastebin? [10:07] q1w: #tor [10:07] lucent nice [10:07] tor is not an Ubuntu issue. [10:07] Jordan_U: sorry, server I was using went down [10:07] lucent, no, the local computer must connect to a remote computers ip_addr:port and send/receive data from local computers serial port to remotes tcp/ip port [10:08] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512989/ [10:08] Roland: oh okay use 'telnet' [10:08] razz1, is it because the windows client uses upnp to punch an incoming hole in your router and Transmission doesn't [10:08] lucent: ext4 [10:08] In which directory ubuntu keeps it's default background images? [10:08] th1: there is no router, connected directly to net [10:08] razz1: ext4 is bad news for bittorrent client behaviors, suggest using ext3 as your filesystem to sanity check [10:09] lucent, how do I redirect data from serial port to telnet? [10:09] Roland: don't know about that [10:09] Roland: if ser2net can do it then it will be detailed in the example config file [10:09] Roland, do you want incoming telnet session to connect to your local serial port? [10:10] th1, no it must be outgoing connection [10:10] atude: What is the output of "sudo locale-gen --purge; echo $?" ? [10:10] Hey all, for some reason Gparted is taking one heck of a long time to expand my SDA1 volume... (hours upon hours), anyone know why this might be ? [10:10] th1, the computer with the serial port connects to a remote computer and shares the serial port [10:10] (fast enough computer, really shouldn't take that long. 4gb ram 2.6ghz) [10:10] @twermund I log out and check but there is no session menu, just my log in id. I use desktop version 10.10. Should I install ubuntu-remix? [10:11] Roland, what is running on the remote computer?

[10:12] Maddeth: running live DVD of ubuntu 8.04m disk size 250GB expanding to 500GB.. [10:12] Roland, ser2net maybe? [10:12] the expansion is a windows partition, yes [10:12] but that takes incoming connection [10:12] atude: That may be the root of all your problems. (may). [10:12] @joshuakey if you type in your username and then press enter you should see a bar pop up asking you to choose a session [10:12] Jordan_U: that's good to know, in ways... [10:12] th1, ser2net expects someone to connect to it, not the other way round [10:12] Jordan_U: let use proceed, heavily armed [10:12] s/use/us [10:13] kai696: the space that it is being expanded into, is it free or being moved? [10:13] unallocated space to ntfs [10:13] Hello, In which directory ubuntu keeps it's default background images? [10:13] (ie, existing NTFS @ 250GB; another 250 unallocated (Deleted partition)) [10:13] atude: Try running the ie4linux uninstall script. Or if you can't find one then move that directory into your home directory (so that it's out of the way but can be restored if needed). [10:14] kai696: hmm, not sure why it is taking so long then, how long has it been running, and what is it doing at the moment?

Is there any way I can emulate this reinsert via command line?

I made some laptop-mode settings and I want to reset them. [10:42] kai696, I used that command to clear the .fonts cache. [10:42] But I forgot. :( [10:42] Roland: what exactly do you want to do?

[12:04] piousminion2, !see bug 449260 [12:05] I swear none of the messages in this channel have anything to do with one another. It's like 200 bots just googling for "ubuntu" and posting a random quote from the results. lol [12:05] ah, well, it was for cixa. [12:05] !tap [12:05] cixa, you can try browsing pricegrabber.com's selection. someone mentioned a version they bought that they liked, but i don't recall the make and model.

If that's not what you are looking for, then you are in the wrong channel [12:08] what is better to tint screen redish at night: f.lux or RedShift? [12:08] cixa, i think you want one with "flash memory". i'm not sure if there is a hard drive version available that asks as a simple mass storage device [12:08] lol .. i don't see anyone getting paid here, it's all Volunteers baby :D [12:08] i was mocking google ads [12:08] SaRy, stay on topic please [12:08] you can buy ANYTHING ON EBAY apparently [12:09] what is better to tint screen redish at night: f.lux or RedShift? Or perhaps other? I'm having problems installing them in 10.10 [12:09] bazhang, sure. [12:09] jrib: It's also for trolling ubuntards, but that's a story for another day. I'm having an issue with empathy and for some reason I assumed such an easy answer would be readily answered. I suppose I was wrong. [12:09] its been 4hrs.. upgrading my 10.04 to 10.10 [12:10] piousminion2: read the guidelines ubottu sent you [12:10] Kaoruchan, you won't be happy when it fails :( [12:10] Can anybody help me to install ubuntu 10.04.1 to an IBM x3850 m2?

[12:11] has anyone here got any experience with MANET / mesh networks ? [12:11] sniperjo: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [12:12] hi, does anyone know where I can find documentation for keyboard shortcuts in the unity shell?

[12:12] tgywa: why? [12:12] jrib: ok, but its not exactly a widly known topic [12:13] sniperjo: do you just care that people know something about it or are you going to ask the person that says "yes" a new question? If you just ask your question to begin with, everyone wins [12:13] sniperjo: Is it specific to ubuntu? [12:13] Should I pay for this [12:14] piousminion2: it is at the moment [12:14] jrib, I have web customer using both(PHP 5.2 & PHP 5.3). [12:15] tgywa: I don't know the best way to have multiple versions of php [12:15] I've got gnome-core [12:16] how do I make it look pretty though? [12:16] jrib, if I can make a package ... first .. then I will choose ... [12:17] Why is it recent versions of ubuntu try so hard to look like MacOSX? [12:17] tgywa: you can make a package, but that probably won't help you run both versions simeltaneously [12:17] piousminion2: stick to support please [12:17] ok, so is maverick released or not? [12:17] piousminion2, #ubuntu-offtopic please [12:17] StuckMojo: yes [12:17] StuckMojo, yes [12:17] on the release notes page it says beta [12:18] jrib ... don't worry about that ... at them moment I am running both using fcgid .. the question now is how to make a package ...

I'm a user and I'd like to know why ubuntu is the way it is. Will you not support an ubuntu user in this? [12:18] tgywa: but packages already exist [12:18] !source > tgywa [12:18] so these are just oversights? it's no longer beta or RC ? [12:18] piousminion2, its chat. and opinion. this is not the channel for it [12:18] piousminion2: you're getting close to the line... in case you were wondering [12:18] piousminion2, not when youre more curious bout osx [12:19] I don't care about OSX, I'm just curious why all the stock gnome defaults have been changed to match it. [12:19] piousminion2: it's not on-topic here. Move on. [12:19] can make it anything you want and you have complaints, have fun being stuck with limits in your system [12:20] piousminion2: The other way people would say 'Why Linux is still looking as WinXP'? This is a choice of the Window-Manager you use. Gnome would more be MacOS like, KDE would more be like the Windows family. [12:20] jrib: You said support is on-topic. I'm not debating or berating, but inquiring. That is most certainly support relayed. [12:20] piousminion2: it's not, we just told you it's not support. [12:20] In maverick bookmarked FTP urls open in FF instead of nautilus. how do i fix? [12:21] minimec: I bed to differ. Linux is a kernel and it looks nothing like XP's kernel. [12:21] piousminion2: That's what we are talking about. Window Managers,not kernels... ;) [12:21] gnome is mac os like? [12:21] since when? === Wraith is now known as Guest78378 [12:22] StuckMojo, i'm in the same boat [12:22] looks just as much like windows as kde as far as im concerned [12:22] Aemaeth, StuckMojo #ubuntu-offtopic please [12:22] openbox/fluxbox/blackbox those look different [12:22] does mac have more than that dock? i heard they took away taskbars in the last feature [12:23] Are FTP bookmarks under the 'Places' menu opening in the browser instead of nautilus in maverick for anyone else? Or anyone even able to confirm that its NOT for them? [12:23] bazhang: ok, real question then: this is wrong, yes? "= Welcome to the Ubuntu 'Maverick Meerkat' development release =" and "This is still a RELEASE-CANDIDATE release."

[12:25] Hi, have a device plugged into /dev/ttyUSB0 which I have to quite often remove and reinsert due to an overflow (am reading via head command).

[12:27] panel even??? === Benwa-Ktm is now known as Benwa [12:27] Pr3nt1c3: right click on the panel - add to panel - clock [12:28] the clock is already there [12:28] it's how it responds to 'adding new timezones / locations' [12:28] Pr3nt1c3: it adds a new clock to your desktop? [12:28] jrib, so can't I a custom package? [12:28] "No longer supported by Canonical" means exactly that, right? said packages are still in ubuntu? [12:28] tgywa: you can... [12:28] hi I installed awesome but when I run it, I use really to much pcu, whats wrong? [12:28] Are FTP bookmarks under the 'Places' menu opening in the browser instead of nautilus in maverick for anyone else? Or anyone even able to confirm that its NOT for them? [12:28] there's a file I can delete to reset what Ubunu know about the network/hardware it's on. Where is that file? I can't remember.. [12:28] or does it mean they've been dropped from the distro altogether in the new version? [12:29] StuckMojo, in the notes? [12:29] jrib, how can I make? [12:29] bazhang: in the "Do you want to start the upgrade" [12:29] I just removed, and re-added it... it still jumps up at least 300px from panel, instead of attatching to panel [12:29] tgywa: read the documentation ubottu sent you [12:29] how do I fix this? [12:29] jrib, how can I make? a package from a compiled and working PHP 5.2? [12:29] it lists that, and packages that'll be removed, and upgraded, etc. [12:29] when I click on the 'clock' that is [12:30] tgywa: but like I said, these packages already exist, just modify one of them [12:30] StuckMojo, got an example? [12:30] hiii [12:30] Flynsarmy: i think you just have to go into your preferences and look at the "preferred applications" [12:30] hii [12:30] bazhang: f-spot [12:30] Hey there, trying to get sudo apt-get install ms-sys but it cannot find it ?

[12:35] Pr3nt1c3: only thing i would suggest is downloading ubuntu tweak, there's an option to do complete lockdown of all panels, and then try to add your new timezones to the clock, see if that keeps it intact [12:35] kai696: if it tells you to check it, you should [12:35] StuckMojo, shouldn't be ? works fine when it starts lol [12:35] StuckMojo, how ?

[13:03] StuckMojo: didnt help either - in addition i had to set the gateway ( i set it to 192.168.44.255 (thats the bcast of eth0)) [13:03] helloWorld_890, try #eclipse [13:03] ok [13:04] of2vil: no, gateway should be .2 [13:04] of2vil: sorry, forgot that [13:04] ah that makes sense - brb [13:04] rapha Sorry, we really don't have time to check all the channels, google surfing is your best bet, depending on what you actually want to do.. otherwise please state your problem more percisely [13:04] works with .255 because bcast sends to every address on the subnet, thus it gets to .2 [13:05] kai696: My problem is solved. I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up about the state of the #ubuntu-arabic channel. [13:05] Okay, thank you. [13:05] Does anyone know about any ongoing project on Linux, that a novice to kernel, but a good C Programmer could participate... [13:06] sangeeth: VLC [13:06] kai696: m for help [13:06] rusty149: What's VLC? [13:06] kai696: then l (and note which one is NTFS) [13:06] StuckMojo, did, can't access the drive, and it's saying the entire sector (all 500,000 or so) are unallocated [13:07] www.vlc.com [13:07] kai696: 7 [13:07] kai696: eh? === zz_rubydiamond is now known as rubydiamond [13:07] kai696: wait, is this a "dynamic disk"? [13:07] sangeeth: www.videolan.org [13:07] sangeeth: it is a video player that playes most formats [13:07] Command (m for help): v [13:07] 585943909 unallocated sectors [13:07] StuckMojo: ok i guess that looked better - i guess i now have to add a right dns (can i use my router for that :?) [13:07] no, it shouldn't be Dynamic, last Windows boot successfully stated it was basic [13:07] kai696: what's p say? [13:08] sangeeth: really good program but in need of developers [13:08] kai696: one partition, 500G? [13:08] of2vil: use whatever your dns is on your linux box [13:08] of2vil: cat /etc/resolv.conf [13:08] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [13:08] /dev/sda1 1 36474 292969372+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [13:08] /dev/sda2 72947 77825 39190567+ 5 Extended [13:08] /dev/sda5 72947 77825 39190536 82 Linux swap / Solaris [13:08] kai696: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:08] rusty149: Are you in it?.. [13:08] sorry [13:08] of2vil: it's probably your router [13:08] kai696: sda1 is already ntfs [13:08] StuckMojo: its 192.168.88.2 (so its 88 and not 44 as my eth and xbox) [13:08] aye, but in Gparted it's showing Ext3 [13:09] and i can't mount that volume because it says it can't find an NTFS @ stuckmojo [13:09] StuckMojo: does that work anyway :? [13:09] my webcam turn on after suspend, it's kind of freaking me out, i'm on an asus laptop, so i can't disconnect it manually...i dont know any cli for the webcam device/usb? [13:09] of2vil: if linux is resolving dns ok, then that address is a good dns server to use [13:10] of2vil: it's probably the internal address of your router [13:10] yes it is the ip of the router === richard is now known as Guest33970 [13:10] of2vil: that's the one to use then [13:11] Stuckmojo: Just need to access it to back up some of my data then i can do a clean wipe of the drive [13:12] kai696: have you tried sticking it in another windows box? [13:12] none available :( [13:12] hmm? [13:12] kai696: it may already be shot you know [13:12] kai696: i.e. you may be shit out of luck [13:13] kai696: get Gparted to check it and if it does not work use windows install disc to fix it [13:13] IIRC doesn't gparted splash a big giant message that says "BACK UP YOUR DATA!!!" before it lets you resize? [13:13] hi. i just updated to 10.10 and now fbpanel is not working as i want it to and as it did before. now fbpanel is only visible on the first desktop and not an all of them.. [13:13] Sorry, your second way seems to be not totally functional, but the first works... [13:14] rusty149: if I ahd windows install disc I wouldn't be having this problem mate; StuckMojo disc SHOULD be fine it was running perfectly earlier until i deleted the ubuntu partiton from windows management (Which had GRUB, stupid me), so I boot to live disk and won't mount. [13:14] sangeeth: second way works too, but you have to do it in every login session you want to use apt in [13:14] StuckMojo, hmm, i forget, been a while, but IIRCAW they stopped that a couple years ago [13:14] sangeeth: the first way is more permanent [13:14] Hi folks [13:14] StuckMojo: it hasn't "brain-1.0-user0" as depend/recommend :( [13:14] StuckMojo: One more question... Should the Username Pwd be given only to http or also to https and ftp [13:14] kai696: wait, you just want to get grub back onto it? [13:15] StuckMojo: fyeah :) it works, it can connect, but is complaining about a "moderate" nat type [13:15] sangeeth: that depends on your proxy server [13:15] StuckMojo, no, I just need to force mount the partition so i can back up to my external drive then i can wipe the drive clean === rubydiamond is now known as zz_rubydiamond [13:15] Query (PM) shows my error from terminal [13:15] sangeeth: if you need it to use a browser to go to https, then you need it here too [13:16] StuckMojo: You are AWESOME!!! [13:16] sangeeth: shut up baby i know it [13:16] :D === zz_rubydiamond is now known as rubydiamond [13:17] Hello! Is there a graphical (non-terminal) way to do "sudo ./script"? Thanks! [13:17] kai696: you could try using vmware or some such...load windows there and give it access to the raw disk [13:17] kai696: then see if windoze can mount it [13:17] kai696: I am following now. Sounds like you have deleted your ubuntu partition. Then the only way to recover data is to use rescue a program [13:17] StuckMojo: is it possible that i have to open some special ports (i guess i dont) [13:17] Odd-rationale: gksudo [13:17] of2vil: no, the way you've set it up it should forward everything [13:17] llutz: i mean like from the file manager? [13:18] of2vil: you did the realated,established bit? [13:18] rusty149, it's not. If I can force moutn the partition I canpull the files off of it, however gparted shows EXT3 whereas fdisk shows NTFS... it's really strange [13:18] of2vil: it's probably got to do with the fact that you're going through *2* nats [13:18] of2vil: one for the router, one for linux [13:18] StuckMojo: maybe i have to open them on my router [13:18] of2vil: it's a nat of a nat [13:18] yeh [13:18] of2vil: that would be the spot [13:18] of2vil: or you might have to forward them in linux [13:19] StuckMojo: but it worked a few weeks ago where i connected the xbox directly to the router (maybe upnp (i think this is how its called)) does not work through the routed linux [13:19] Rusty149 check PM please. [13:19] Anyone familiar with Acer laptops and wireless issues? [13:19] of2vil: that was only one nat [13:19] of2vil: do you know what nat is? [13:19] kai696: fdisk shows the partition-id, that must not be the filesystem used [13:19] StuckMojo i don't have an image/disk of windows to run on VMware [13:19] kai696, or you could use gparted live cd to activate the partition , since windows probly deleted it [13:19] kai696: thepiratebay.org [13:19] StuckMojo: network address translation [13:20] !piracy | StuckMojo [13:20] StuckMojo I hope your not considering I use a Torrent of an operating system [13:20] StuckMojo: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[13:40] kai696: it's obviously not everything. find out which processes, and then kill them. [13:40] http://pastebin.com/VxyMtLSi [13:40] StuckMojo: Ok, I am just starting linux again. I remember when I upgraded my glibc like 7 or 8 years ago and the system was just pieces afterwards :) The changelog looks fine, just some minor assertion fixed. [13:40] gucki: then you have to install gnome by hand with the components you want without using the meta-package [13:40] says its not mounted [13:40] nitrogenycs: yeah, so it shouldn't matter [13:41] I need to install the driver for my wireless adapter (Actiontec USB 802.11b) I found linux-wlan-ng but I don't know if it supports my model, and don't know how to set it up any help?

[13:44] kai696: sudo killall firefox [13:44] i downloaded IceCast 2 by Synaptic. where i can find it? [13:44] @Blueskaj: Is there an alternative? [13:44] how run this?

[13:49] nothing to do with password [13:50] just only want to ls user u get ? [13:50] erty, passwd is file with info [13:50] erty: Thats the file that holds the information. Password information isn't actually in that file. [13:50] nikola: ls -l | more [13:50] nikola: | less [13:50] nikola: ls -l | less [13:50] ok tnx [13:51] Hey. I installed the Zuki theme but now all I get is the shitty default theme with the Zuki scrollbars. Any advice? [13:52] Pici, so the 'crontab -e' writes the script in root or something like that? I mean, the script will work independent of the user who is logged in? [13:52] The blocky, ugly one. [13:52] Are there GTK error logs?

[15:10] actually, erUSUL it is not so obvious because people coming from windows are expecting screensawer to be at same place as Desktop settings [15:11] galusr, what does lsusb show ? [15:11] just expecting people to take a look at System menus .... [15:11] hmm... How do I make Ubuntu lock screen when I close my laptop? [15:12] I believe I have turned off everything, but it still blanks the screen after about 10 minutes! [15:12] im not saying that you are wrong, erUSUL :) just that was my first reaction when i wanted to turn it off, but i am a bit faster newb when looking for stuff in menu [15:12] BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/VeRv0Ydm [15:12] happydude: That's probably the power management [15:12] happydude: Are you on a laptop running on battery?

[15:14] multipass, uncheck ask password in screensaver setting [15:14] happydude: The power management system will still be running. That's just the frontend to it [15:15] GMX750: #ubuntu-server may be more appropriate for your question. [15:15] undecim, ok. [15:15] im in there and done see the option AbhiJit [15:15] happydude: Go to system -> Preferences -> Power management, and change "Put display to sleep when inactive for:" to "Never" [15:16] Is there a way of adding a cdrom to the apt-get repo in terminal [15:16] galusr, so your outboard drive is the Western Digital usb ? , the dev/sdc seems to be it [15:16] multipass, there is - lock screen when screensaver is active [15:16] multipass: It's the lock screen option [15:16] undecim, I already done that... verifying ... yes it is set to never. [15:16] thats disabled [15:16] and its different than what im asking [15:16] multipass, no its the one you want [15:16] What would be the best place to look (which log) to find out why the system crashed? [15:16] and screensaver is set to not activate when idle. [15:16] im talking about when the computer comes back from being asleep(suspended) not screensaver [15:17] humm why i get notification area with ! and a triangle and says the update information is outdated this may caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer avaiable [15:17] BluesKaj: hmmm ok. For some reason when I set this up I thought is was /dev/sdb2 & sdb3 and setup /etc/fstab as such. These two devices mount fine on boot. What on earth is it mounting I wonder? [15:17] happydude: weird. When your screen blanks, is it just a black screen, or does your monitor go to sleep? [15:17] happydude: I.e., does the backlight turn off? [15:18] undecim, I think the monitor goes to sleep, but I am not sure. I have two different monitors. It happens to both.

[15:30] dakota_: just try this, in a terminal 'killall docky' then 'docky' [15:30] alan: Maybe you can move the preference files over for each program, but that's it -- you gotta reinstall everything.

[15:38] gantrixx, I said it wrong, please forgive me [15:39] dli: How can i stop this loading at start up so it doesnt hog my CPU? [15:39] what's the applet with the drop down [15:39] tiox, I have no problem with 10.10 on hp mini netbook, compiz and unity are fine [15:39] that says "log off, shut down, restart" etc. [15:39] My internet connection is not working in 10.04, via ethernet. What should be the reason [15:39] muh-die-kuh: you will need software mixer for that, but you can use arecord - | aplay - [15:39] dogmatic69: Yes, x64 FTW. But also, hard to play with for newbs because they can't just whip out the ubuntu-restricted-extras package for Flash and JS. [15:39] undecim: well, I use 1.5GB of RAM, so 300MB should be enough? [15:39] aeon-ltd it says I already have the latest version of compiz but when i typed the command to install ccsm it could not find such a package. [15:39] to record from current input and to play on out [15:40] alan__, there are open source flash plugins out there, not sure whether they are acceptable for you or not [15:40] Anyone? How can I convince gnome-terminal to set its TERM to "xterm-256color" instead of just "xterm"? [15:40] It seems that the Unity interface will not run on a Dell mini 10. They state that it has the Intel GMA 550 GPU chipset. I've not been able to verify this, but I have installed the Poulsbo drivers as recommended and it still doesn't work [15:40] enkidu: i'll check that. thanks. any hints on which software mixer you want to use these days?

[15:40] madjoe: Okay, so 300 MB = 307,200 KB, so you need to right-click on your menu, choose "edit menus" and find chrome. [15:40] what is a terminal alias? how do i create one to connect to my home box if i type ssh homebox, instead of the IP? [15:40] muh-die-kuh: dunno, it depends on hw [15:40] aeon-ltd found it on Software Center [15:41] Gangrel: sudo apt-get remove kde (or kubuntu-desktop if you installed that) [15:41] dakota_: ok [15:41] madjoe: Then, you will want to edit it and replace the command with this: sh -c "ulimit -Hv 307200; google-chrome" [15:42] sorry if this isn't the best place; i figured since it differs in ubuntu from the pecl package: can someone help me with using uuid_create from php5-uuid in ubuntu? I get 'call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated' and  'parameter wasn't passed by reference' when i tried to remove the &. I understand why I need pass-by-reference here, but I don't know how to do it in the constructs of php [15:42] dli: What one do you recommend [15:42] undecim: cool! I'll try that! thanks! [15:42] madjoe: If you do that, every time you launch chrome from the menu, it will be restricted to 300MB ram [15:43] alan__, I suggest you to try lightspark, which is not in ubuntu yet [15:43] aeon-ltd but docky still causes the problem when started, should I restart or what.. [15:43] madjoe: If you have a desktop or panel shortcut, you need to remove it and make a new one from the editted menu shortcut [15:43] hm [15:43] undecim: great! hopefully Chrome won't crash my Ubuntu anymore [15:43] i got error, unable to connect to dbus while booting up.. and then low grapic memory [15:43] can anyone guide me how to install lamp on my ubuntu system,i did not get good resource from internet [15:43] where in sys log i can chech this error? [15:43] undecim: I use a panel shortcut, but I think I can handle that === Mossyfunk|AFK is now known as Mossyfunk|Sleep [15:43] alan__, lightspark uses less cpu then adobe flash, but not yet feature complete [15:43] SaRy: [15:43] madjoe: XD. If you find you need to teak that value, you can change the 307200 to whatever KB you want. [15:43] hi [15:43] all I get when I add that is "no indicators" [15:44] OKay thanks. [15:44] dakota_: start runnning compiz, then restart docky [15:44] alan__, if you just want to play youtube, sudo apt-get install minitube [15:44] undecim: got it! :) [15:44] Yeah thats all i need :) [15:44] can anyone guide me how to install lamp on my ubuntu system,i did not get good resource from internet [15:44] alan__, lightspark can play all youtube too [15:44] WXZ, [15:44] !lamp | blackshell [15:44] blackshell: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [15:45] lamp [15:45] aeon-ltd thats what I did but then it whent to the way it was when docky was restarted. [15:45] I've installed minitube now. [15:45] madjoe: I'd kind of like to know though if this works. I know chrome eats up a lot of RAM because it runs each tab in a new thread, and I don't know if that limit counts for each thread or if it's shared among them. [15:45] yes? [15:45] When I open a folder using the Places drop down list. It just loads open office and nothing happens. It opens the folder if I open Nautilus to view folders [15:45] dakota_: please take a new screenshot please, [15:45] WXZ, What you did exactly. [15:45] Okay question about conky, i've installed it but now on the tutorial its saying: "Make a configuration file in your home directory (Ex:-/home/ubuntuadmin)", though that doesn't even exist? [15:45] but i wrote something after it [15:46] undecim: oh, good point... since each tab is a separate process, somehow I think it won't work for all of them [15:46] undecim: we'll see [15:46] (10:43:57 AM) WXZ: all I get when I add that is "no indicators" === kyle___ is now known as kv102t [15:46] alan_: You need to make a .conkyrc file in your home directory [15:46] So: /home/alan/ ? [15:46] Pretty much. [15:46] undecim: can I put %U at the end like this? sh -c "ulimit -Hv 307200; google-chrome %U" [15:46] aeon-ltd it looks the same as before in the screenshot I just took, but when docky is quit it looks normal and everything wroks fine and the black bar is gone, but it looks just as it did before with docky enabled. [15:46] alan__, your home directory is '~', "$HOME" in terminal [15:46] quit [15:47] im getting a bad assignment trying to use an alias, whys that? [15:47] madjoe: Yup, just like that [15:47] ok [15:47] SaRy: all I get when I add that is "no indicators" [15:47] full sentence. [15:47] alan_: /home/alan/.conkyrc would be your conky config file, yes === Nwab is now known as Benwa [15:47] ah thanks [15:47] WXZ, i see [15:47] alan_ if you need, i have a cool conky myself.. let me know.. [15:47] alan_: You will probably want to copy someone else's config file to start with [15:48] drew212_: what is what you're trying to alias, exactly? [15:48] WXZ, !see bug 548414 [15:48] dakota_: even running compiz? did you do 'compiz --replace' in terminal before restarting docky? [15:48] !conky | tiox [15:48] SaRy: and I can't click it, well I can, but it does nothing [15:48] alan_: There is a huge thread on the ubuntu forums with conky configs and screenshots [15:48] !see bug 548414 [15:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:48] ssh to my home box, i dont want to type an IP [15:48] kekeke [15:48] WXZ, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-applet/+bug/548414 [15:48] drew212_, use hostname then [15:49] alan__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865 [15:49] ANYONE? When I open a folder using the Places drop down list. It just loads open office and nothing happens. It opens the folder if I open Nautilus to view folders [15:49] dli: hostname? how do i do that? [15:49] aeon-ltd just figured that out and eveything works fine now thanx. [15:49] dakota_: oh ok, good :) [15:49] Hey people, I need to recover a document for a friend off a SD drive. The thing is, it is a .docx file. Anyone know a tool that can recover these files, because foremost can not recover them to the best of my knowledge [15:49] drew212_, the easiest, put in your /etc/hosts [15:49] drew212_: you could either add the host to /etc/hosts, or make an entry in ~/.ssh/config [15:49] drew212_, a line like: 192.168.0.5 myhome [15:49] alright [15:50] HI -- I have grub2 installed but ubuntu kernel udpates do not update grub.cfg -- just the old menu.lst. What should I do? [15:50] drew212_, even better, install dnsmasq as well, sudo apt-get install dnsmasq, and put "nameserver 127.0.0.1" as your first line in /etc/resolv.conf [15:51] MysteryGuest, sudo update-grub [15:51] how to install tar.gz file? [15:51] MysteryGuest, grub2 doesn't use menu.lst, grub.cfg is auto-generated [15:51] dli -- doesn't update grub.cfg...just menu.lst [15:51] hi all, I'm trying to boot my Ubuntu 9.10 system into single user mode or recovery mode from grub 2. after I select "recovery mode" from the grub menu, a second menu comes up with options like "Resume" and "Drop to root shell prompt", but I can't seem to choose "Drop to root shell prompt" because a bunch of text like "Starting NTP server ntpd" overwrites my screen. can someone please help me? [15:51] abhinav_singh2: what's inside it? source code? a theme? [15:51] .tar.gz is a zip file [15:51] abhinav_singh2: unpack it, then read the installation instructions provided on the site you downloaded it from [15:51] abhinav_singh2, depends, but mostly, ./configure;make;sudo make install [15:51] aeon-ltd but now I need to remove the bottom panel in Xfce have any Ideas, i tried removing it like I would in Gnome but it wont work. [15:52] Hello, I m using ubuntu 10.10 on ssd. noatime for all volumes, swapiness set to 10, iosheduler is deatline, /tmp and /var/log are tmpfs. Direktly after booting i have 2GB written data (iostat). If i deaktivate swap i have no written data ( < 1MB). Is it possible that something writes the full 2 GB swap during boot? [15:52] aeon-ltd already figured it out.. [15:52] abhinav_singh2: all that it being a .tar.gz file means that it is a compressed archive with files in it. there is no general way to "install" what is in it unless it has some more specific structure. [15:52] abhinav_singh2: .tar.gz files are archive files, like a .zip file on windows. If you are trying to install a program, have you made sure that it's not in the Ubuntu software center? [15:52] dakota_, right click on panel to set panel properties, or find it in xfce setting manager [15:53] abhinav_singh2: for instance, if it is full of themes, it can probably be installed using the Install... button in the Appearance menu [15:53] dli: udpate-grub does not update grub.cfg -- it updates menu.lst which is not used by grub2 [15:53] dakota_: heh :) lol [15:53] Sometimes while booting kernel (text mode) the kernel (1/4 times) stop loading, and if frozen until I push the power button - then the boot continues. What exactly happens when I push the power button during boot? Because it always works. [15:53] MysteryGuest, weird, do you have grub2?

[15:55] drew212_, first, "ssh blahblah@122.0.0.1" works for you [15:55] undecim: I can see several chrome processes - one is owned by root and all the others are owned by me as a normal user... I just opened two tabs and I can see that the root process uses 217MB of RAM and all the other processes (more than 20!!) use the same value of 836MB of RAM [15:55] dli: I got the message: "Could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

[15:56] dli: nope [15:56] madjoe: What I think is really weird is the one running as root... [15:56] Thats one thing i've noticed with google chrome, if you have so many tabs open it uses more processes, [15:56] undecim: oh, those 20 processes are /usr/bin/google-chrome [15:57] dli yes ssh blabla@122.0.01 or wahtever works [15:57] When I open a folder using the Places drop down list.

( I couldn't find it ) [16:47] lou1234: one way to remove it would be to do "dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq packagename", otherwise you need to figure out why the package is not installing correctly and sort that out [16:48] undecim: oh..only iwlang..thank you...now trying..

Seems sufficient while running apps in GNOME and remotely via FreeNX though. [16:49] undecim: i have only one for the /dev/sdb1 [16:49] How do i uninstall ubuntu games? [16:50] gpetrakis: So nothing with "swap" in it? [16:50] acer_, like i said there are those 3 commands "linux" "initrd" and "boot" which will allow u to boot ur install, research them to find their arguments, and GRUB2 supports tab complete so u can get ur kernel image names easily [16:50] Though i want to keep python and all its using.. [16:50] undecim: no [16:50] acer_, once ur in the install u need to run the grub update program to reinit grub [16:50] galusr_: free -m; all those error come from oom killer killing apps becouse you run out of memory. so either there is a memory leak somewhere or you are overloading the mchine [16:50] Wavesonics|work, I believe in you, but I need a recipe.

[16:52] alex88: I think 65mb/s is wireless N at top speed [16:52] undecim: as big as the RAM size? [16:53] gpetrakis: Yup [16:53] Wavesonics|work, great. [16:53] acer_, are you at the GRUB command line? [16:53] undecim: mbit..it would be 300 teorically.. [16:53] alex88: Oh, nvm, I just googled it, lol [16:53] No, I need to reset the machine to try access it and see. [16:53] alex88: Or maybe there is confusion of bits vs bytes here... === denis_ is now known as spaniard [16:54] acer_, so ur on the same machine?

Is this MB? That would be half a GB of ram? Swap values for total, used and free are all at zero. It's only when I shut the machine down that I get all these errors though. Is it strange that it would only max out the memory at this stage?

[16:57] jefelex: why not go to 10.10 [16:57] Wavesonics|work, yes, I am acer and someone here at office is KeenyG :P [16:57] Wavesonics|work, hold a sec. I will have to restart it. [16:58] I want to try out 10.04 for a while - see if it needs to be upgraded [16:58] Wavesonics|work, GRUB command line is Linux command line, right? [16:58] kennyG, no [16:58] kennyG, GRUB is before u even boot linux [16:58] kennyG, its wher eu select what OS to boot [16:58] rjhan: has the floppy drive bug been ironed out of 10.10? [16:58] anyone ever have a problem with ubuntu noticing when your isp changes your ipaddress...? [16:58] kennyG, if there are no entries for OSs to boot, then u get a command line [16:59] Wavesonics|work, I am on GRUB startup window. [17:00] Wavesonics|work, I have two different options : Win and Ubuntu. If I choose Win it boots from Windows 7 and it's working. [17:00] gotta go - ttyl [17:02] well, ive ditched BT on HDD, commign back to ubuntu :D === frostburn is now known as archlich [17:03] Has anyone seen x86_64 firefox with no plugins enabled not correctly handle requests to msdn? e.g. going to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394597%28v=VS.85%29.aspx causes a Unable to Service Request page to appear. The site renders fine in chromium and my coworkers pc using the same version of firefox [17:03] jrib: that helped out a ton.. thank you very much!! === matthew is now known as Guest93163 [17:05] Hello [17:05] what are some of the more popular things to do to Ubuntu once you've installed? [17:06] xckpd7, sync your files .. [17:06] install msf + set and root your mum's pc [17:06] install aircrack and crack you neighbours wep [17:06] hell yah [17:06] install ettercap and ssl strip and arp poison yoru boss's email password [17:07] lol... [17:07] erUSUL: Ok and does dmesg include both startup and shutdown error messages? I wonder how I could analyse my ram to kill unnecessary apps that use alot of memory. [17:07] Hi, I'm trying to get my tv card working. Its a Pinnacle PCTV 73e SE, the driver is loaded correctly according to dmesg output. When I 'scan' with the initial channel file for my country I only get messages about "(tuning failed)". What's wrong? I got it working before [17:07] galusr_: use top; order by memory use hitting "M" [17:10] anodesni: You may need to load the firmware. see http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_nano_Stick_(73e)#Firmware_Installation [17:10] mycroftmkiv, dmesg reports : dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw' dib0700: firmware started successfully [17:10] 10.10 is a travesty [17:11] See that page for more troubleshooting info. [17:11] anyone know who manages planet.ubuntu.com ? [17:11] http://planet.ubuntu.com/rss20.xml returns no feeds [17:12] hello room [17:12] :) any technician here? [17:12] !ask | martin_l336 [17:12] martin_l336: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:13] Ok mod sorry ^^ [17:14] martin_l336: heh aeon-ltd isn't a mod/op [17:14] erUSUL: I think swap should solve that problem anyway. It seems to be when trying to startup some firefox thing that the problem is happening. Running top I can see firefox is fairly intensive. I think the shutdown info isn't included in dmesg though. Firefox would not be running at shutdown - the problem is near the end of the shutdown process aswell I think. [17:15] i'm wondering why my SIS graphic can't be identify in ubuntu 10.4? I already try to do almost all modification from ubuntuforum source and also other blogs but only return me with flickering screen or xconf fail. Now i'm using vesa driver running @1028x768.. my native resolution is 1366x768. I just wondering if i can push vesa driver confiugration to display [17:15] sebsebseb: lol because it red :P [17:15] ahoy hoy, does anybody in here know how to make the keyring start automatically on boot so it does not interfere with remote desktop login? [17:15] martin_l336: the highlight? [17:16] martin_l336: if a nick is used on IRC, most clients high light [17:16] keyring is annoying [17:16] yes it is! [17:16] martin_l336: anyway I have bad news for you, SIS doesn't exaclty work nicely with Ubuntu if at all relay [17:16] sebsebseb: yeah i know that already.... that's why i'm just curious about reconfigure my vesa to work with my native res [17:17] firewalker22, the way to get rid of keyring is edit your start up menu and disable gnome keyring [17:17] martin_l336: you probably won't get very far trying to get it to work [17:17] thxs quantum, will give that a try [17:17] sebsebseb: any advice for other version of gnome based that "maybe" have a little bit support to run my display [17:18] sebsebseb: i just need a 2d acc with native res only that [17:18] hello,i need a sip voip client,any suggestions?thanks [17:18] martin_l336: Gnome isn't responsible for your graphics card, thats xorg, but also the Linux distro your using [17:18] martin_l336: well the distros to an extent [17:19] martin_l336: and yes hardware may work much better on another distro, but I think SIS will be a problem for like all of them [17:19] Hello - could anyone help me with creating a Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 USB Startup? [17:19] !usb | Caesi [17:19] Caesi: 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 [17:19] thanks sebsebseb [17:19] sebsebseb: yup know it already... that's why i need an advice.. some people reffering to use PClinuxos and mandriva that's running well [17:19] Caesi: ok your welcome :) [17:20] martin_l336: oh right interesting [17:20] hello how do i make my videos on my computer run more smothly and work better, basically what programs do i download to make videos run more smothly [17:20] martin_l336: yeah PC Linux OS may even be the Desktop LInux distro that has the best hardware support at the moment [17:20] Hello [17:20] Sven12345, get a faster computer or run less programs [17:20] sebsebseb: really? i totally disagree.. I've got plenty of hardware that won't work w/ PCLOS, but works out of the box w/ Ubuntu [17:21] I don't know if this is the appropriate room, however can someone help me with ACPI settings? [17:21] step21 haha i know the videos can run more smothly since i also have windows on this very same computer so i want to know which programs can make the videos run equally as smothly as in windows [17:21] martin_l336: also technically its very good, but going into some more details about that here would be off topic. Mandriva can be good, but kind of pointless doing that one now, because a fork for it is on the verge of being made :) [17:21] Sven12345, are they flash videos? [17:21] KM0201: well depends on the hardware and how the distro does support [17:21] hmm [17:22] step21 no mkv videos [17:22] KM0201: quite a lot of hardware that doesn't just work in Ubuntu like wireless and such for example, is likely to just work or be really easy to have working in other distros such as that one, but right we are getting off topic now [17:22] Sven12345: i think vlc will play them. [17:22] sebsebseb: so based on ur opinion that pclinux is the one who have the best hardware support for now? [17:22] martin_l336: to be honest I don't use that distro, b ut have had in vm, and know someone online, who knows a lot about it, and even does packaging for them [17:22] kmo201 yes vlc will play them but i want a smother playing with less grainy picture and less hacking just as it works in windows [17:23] 7EXIT [17:23] Sven12345, then still the same applies, prob. windows has access to hardware decoding and linux doesn't, if you run the proper drivers already there is no program to fix that [17:23] martin_l336: if you try another distro, you may find that your hardware works better [17:23] hello i am looking for a SIP VoIP client,any suggestions?thanks [17:23] martin_l336: what problem are you having? [17:23] step21 how do i check if i have the most update drivers and how do i update them and how do check which decoders are running [17:24] worthapp: you mena other than skype? [17:24] martin_l336: Ubuntu isn't like a magic gloove/shoe that fits all users and all computers, if you get what I mean [17:24] any one help me... when ever i open software center it says 26 packages are broken i try to use sudo apt-get -f install its not working [17:24] sebsebseb: for that matter, no linux distro is [17:25] KM0201, yes,i need a *SIP* client,not a peer2peer voip client [17:25] sebsebseb: yeah i know that.... just try to maximal my display resolution and 2d acc [17:25] martin_l336: if you watn to talk about other distros a bit, pm would be a better place, since we are going off topic [17:25] worthapp: ekiga it's in the repositories [17:25] rajmahendra: try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [17:25] worthapp: there's a few others, but that one comes right off the top of my head === gaurav_ is now known as Guest50901 [17:26] hi, someone knows a guide on how to best partition your hdd for a ubuntu server install? because if you do it automatic it all becomes one big partition.. not very good [17:26] hi everyone.... i need to setup a proxy on a Ubuntu VPS .. i was thinking squid .. maybe some one knows of a great doc to do this? [17:26] KM0201, i cant find how to configure it [17:26] hey. i installed ubuntu after like 3 years since last time(being a windows user) i got a wine issue here. i want to open a windows game from a ntsf drive.

[17:27] does anybody have and experience of using easyBCD, please pm me, i'm a bit unsure about dual booting [17:27] marcel: I think that is a new (as of 10.04) ubuntu security feature [17:28] error where envoured when processing libreoffice [17:28] how can i bypass it? [17:28] i need help on how to add new users [17:28] worthapp: linphone maybe? [17:28] aeon-ltd, its giving error saying encountering error while processing libreoffice files [17:29] KM0201, i'll try it out\ [17:29] Sven12345, what graphics card do you have? I don't think checking codecs will do anything, there are no better/worse ones [17:29] Hello everyone. I just got on the ubuntu10.10 live CD and everything loaded just fine, but the wirless comes out as disconnected. What can I do to fix this? (I'm pretty familiar with the linux command line, just new with wireless) [17:29] marcel: http://stream-recorder.com/forum/blocked-wine-start-unix-problem-opening-exe-t6560.html?s=f1eb7acb9f7ed3ed7a65241b924dc36b& [17:29] step21 i have nvidia 220 GT [17:30] what is the second column in ls -l output? I know the first is permissions, but what is the second one listed? [17:30] anybody familiar with lc3 here? [17:30] anyone help me to solve broken packages of libreoffice issue [17:31] run the assistant that allows you to install the 3rd party drivers [17:31] Is there any VNC type of software for linux? [17:31] anyone for my question? [17:31] poincare101: What question? I just logged [17:31] alan__: yes.. vnc..lol [17:32] cdubya, the number is something about file references [17:32] step21 what assistant? [17:32] Sven12345, System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [17:32] lol, where would i get it package manager? [17:32] undecim: yeah. I'll paste it. [17:32] alan__: well, another option, if you don't want to deal w/ setting up your router, etc.. and it's not for commercial use... use TeamViewer... it's dead nuts simple. [17:32] undecim: Hello everyone. I just got on the ubuntu10.10 live CD and everything loaded just fine, but the wirless comes out as disconnected. What can I do to fix this? (I'm pretty familiar with the linux command line, just new with wireless) [17:32] step21 yes i did that but is that the latest drivers? [17:32] !vnc | alan__ [17:32] alan__: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [17:32] Sven12345, there should be a box to check if they aren't installed [17:33] poincare101: lspci in a terminal and determine yoru wireless chipset [17:33] step21 it is allready installed but what i want to know if the latest drivers are installed [17:33] poincare101: What card? [17:33] poincare101: "lspci" for internal, "lsusb" for usb to find the model [17:33] KM0201, linphone seems to be what i was looking for,i am configuring it right now [17:33] Sven12345, yes, update manager will tell you when new versionsa are available [17:33] undecim: I just built a computer so, I can tell you exactly. [17:34] worthapp: ok.. hope it works out [17:34] step21 i think you dont know what you are talking about [17:34] poincare101: dlink xtreme n for the desktop [17:34] KM0201, thanks again [17:34] poincare101: well, then by all means, share... we don't care what type of card you installed, we need the chipset. === Andre_Go` is now known as Andre_Gondim [17:34] trying do a fresh installation from usb, but hdd is not detected. can someone help me? [17:34] poincare101: it is a internal card, right? or is it USB? [17:34] i2v8an, any way to suppress that and the permissions output? [17:35] KM0201: yeah, its internal. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=531 [17:35] lol [17:35] poincare101: if you're not going to listen, i'm not going to bother helping you.. I DON"T CARE WHAT THE MODEL IS... we need to know the chipset.. lspci ina terminal [17:35] what about just doing ls ? [17:35] Hi, anybody here with experience with Wubi ?

(sorry if you mentioned it alreadY0 [17:37] poincare101: the wireless device, look through the lspci output, and yous hould be able to identify which onje is your wireless card [17:37] vileger, what OS are you using for the share? [17:37] nvm got it [17:37] ThomasBerends2: Are your settings saved when you reboot?

[17:38] I see that folks are having way more important/serious issues than myself, however, I would appreciate some pointers or help with getting the KeyBoard Backlight operational on my toshiba satellite notebook...... ubuntu 10.0.4 AMD components, fresh install, no other os on the system...thoughts, suggestions, comments? [17:39] KM0201: The closest thing I could find is the ethernet controller [17:39] it doesn't seem to see the wireless... [17:39] poincare101: and it's a PCI card you installed? [17:39] KM0201: Yes. [17:39] Has anyone here used sparkleshare? [17:39] poincare101: is the machine online, w/o wireless? [17:40] KM0201: no, but I can try to get it online. [17:40] anyone know a good and cheap wifi adapter for aircracking ect ;) [17:40] Failican: ask in #backtrack [17:40] poincare101: han gon just a minute [17:41] hello. I need some help. I cannot copy any file to windows share with ubuntu 10.10. It says "there was an error copying the file into smb://(etc). invalid argument."... Please... I need help [17:41] vileger, have you tried doing a google search for 10.10 and the error message yet? [17:42] hey chaps, my sound is all jittery and stuttery, my system is going all slow since i installed 10.10. is this a known issue? [17:42] yeah, i couldn't find anything [17:42] KM0201: yeah. [17:43] i just saw that someone have the same problem in other versions of ubuntu [17:43] poincare101: you don't see anything in your lspci, about an "Atheros" card.. cuz google suggests it might have an atheros chipset(which means, intheory, it should work) [17:44] trying do a fresh installation of 10.10 from usb, but hdd is not detected. can someone help me [17:44] vileger, yeah, I have had something similar before. I don't remember actually doing anything about it, though [17:44] -- besides messing with the server side settings [17:44] KM0201: I'll check again [17:46] i2v8an: I have another ubuntu installation with 10.04 version and works fine [17:46] KM0201: Nope. no atheros anywhere. Am I missing a driver or something? [17:47] poincare101: what verison of ubuntu are you using?.. i just saw a link that suggests that should work out of the box. [17:47] is anyone else having trouble with gstreamer making their computer MEGA SLOW on 10.10? [17:47] KM0201: 10.10, live CD [17:47] vileger, most possibly a bug? [17:48] i supossed. [17:48] poincare101: it looksl ike it's an atheros chipset, and should work "out of the box... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsDlink#PCI [17:49] poincare101: unless you've got some weird version that hasn't been reported yet [17:49] KM0201: any ideas? [17:49] poincare101: well, you can try NDISwrapper i guess.. [17:49] KM0201: I'll try restarting it. [17:49] I'll keep looking on google... [17:49] not sure how effective that will be on a live cd [17:49] thanks anyway [17:49] poincare101: ok [17:49] my /sbin has permissions such that nonroot users can execute/modify its contents.Is it normal /default? it contains "init" so if i change its permissions such that non root can not execute them will my system be inaccessible? ( i guess ubuntu doesnt have any root level accounts ) [17:50] vileger, and here it is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-application/+bug/659854... not that a bug report is helpful. lol [17:50] hello. what is the difference between ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso and ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso ? [17:50] burg: unless you are a company, you want the "desktop" one [17:50] burg: the alternate one is for OEMS and for people doing custom installs, 99 times out of 100 you'll want the desktop. [17:51] burg: Alternate is a text-mode installer, desktop is much easier [17:51] burg: and what peepingtom said :) [17:51] burg, thanks. [17:51] my /sbin has permissions such that nonroot users can execute/modify its contents.Is it normal /default? it contains "init" so if i change its permissions such that non root can not execute them will my system be inaccessible? ( i guess ubuntu doesnt have any root level accounts [17:51] depends on what you like, I find both ways equally simple [17:52] peepingtom: not really... Alternate is just as easy... maybe the desktop is less intimidating.. but they both do the same thing, it's how they look while doing it. [17:52] no one has mention that the alternate installer can install in machines with low ram, yet [17:52] hey guys [17:52] somehow my "sound/volume control" on my system/taskbar disappeared [17:52] I can't figure out how to add it back [17:52] but several reboots later it's still not there [17:52] !panelfix | dan2 [17:52] dan2: right click the panel, add the indicator applet [17:53] !fixpanel [17:53] ActionParsnip, already did that [17:53] dan2: cool [17:53] there's no indicator applet for the volume control that I can find [17:53] dan2: if that doesn't work, make sure indicator-sound is installed [17:53] sam_sam, You mean that your permissions are opened to the point that users can write to the /sbin directory or replace executables? [17:53] dan2: if you check in the startup items you can add the startup item there [17:53] That wouldn't be right... [17:53] ActionParsnip, what does that mean? [17:53] KM0201: still not working :C [17:53] dan2: indicator applet is the name of the applet (there is no separate volume control applet anymore) [17:54] Usually a user can read/execute from /sbin though, but on some distros it isn't in the PATH. [17:54] dan2: edit the startup ites, you can re-enable the item there [17:54] KM0201: the LED at the back of the card is blinking though [17:54] msl:yes, i came to know about it just now as i ran rkhunter [17:54] in /etc/network/interfaces, is there a way to put a crypted password in the wpa-password line? [17:54] i really don't want my password in plain text [17:54] poincare101: can you receive PMs on that client. [17:54] How do i make a folder on the dropdown at the top aka Places? [17:54] or can you PM me? [17:55] hi [17:55] hi [17:55] anyone can suggest fan/heat mintoring app? [17:55] trism, I'm not sure how to take indicator applet and convert it to a sound applet [17:55] msl:don't think it's safe as i guess /sbin contains executables that are supposed to be run by root [17:55] i dont * [17:56] trism, it just shows me a email message icon and it wants me to setup email accounts and crap like that [17:56] since i installed 10.10 i feel that my netbook runs a little noisier with fans [17:56] dan2: you don't convert it to anything, it is part of it, as long as you have indicator-sound installed [17:56] sandking: are you using ubuntu desktop or ubuntu netbook edition? [17:56] KM0201: I think, yes. [17:56] trism, indicator sound is installed [17:56] trism, so why am I not seeing it? [17:56] alan__, If you open Nautilus you can link things on the left hand side [17:56] sandking: UNE uses Unity desktop, which uses Mutter. It has higher GPU requirements [17:56] dan2: then run: killall gnome-panel; [17:56] peepingtom_, desktop as there's no 64 bit of netbook [17:56] dan2: it should restart and you should see it [17:57] dan2, I know you said you rebooted several times.....have you tried to do killall gnome-panel to see if it comes up? Even if it doesn't immediately show up on my panel, it does after that [17:57] trism, didn't work [17:57] oops, trism beat me to it.... [17:57] cdubya, didn't work [17:57] msl: is that safe ? [17:57] msl: Where is Nautilus located? [17:57] sandking, what about pae kernel in notebook version? [17:57] how can I extract multi volume .zip files? [17:57] How can I disable 3rd-mouse-button emulation? [17:57] dan2: out of curiosity, try running: gnome-volume-control-applet; and see if it appears and works in the notification area [17:57] alan__: what do you mean, where is it located.. you mean how do you open it? [17:58] trism, that works [17:58] i2v8an, sorry, i'm not geeky enough to understand that :] [17:58] I installed Ubuntu from the alternate CD. How can I remove all ubuntu / gnome GUI stuff and be left with only the console?

[18:18] Okay, this isn't a request for help. I was asking a couple of nights ago about problems running video with my external monitor set to 1280x1024. [18:18] what is the easiest way to install fonts? [18:18] i2v8n: attempting now === Obadiah is now known as Vivek [18:18] Turns out the video chip in my netbook, an Intel 945, has a maximum virtual desktop of 2048x2048. Outside this range, 3D acceleration is disabled. [18:18] Dulak: After a month? I can't one too much :P [18:18] wait* [18:18] hi [18:19] I am using Ubuntu in a virtual machine. How do i make ubuntu see the machine folder i set up on my host? i configured vbox to add the machine folder. [18:19] having a wierd problem with my bluetooth headset. If i connect the headset to my phone it works fine(audio received and sent), if I connect the headset to my 10.04 machine it records just fine, but i have to plug in headphones and switch the output to headphones in padevchooser to get an audio(so, no audio on the headset) [18:19] Which nicely explains why I have no problems with 1024x600/1024x768 and I do have problems with 1024x600/1280x1024. [18:19] any know where to start debugging the bluetooth for that? [18:19] MrRoboto: download the font, double click it in the file manager, click the 'install' button in the lower right hand corner of the screen that comes up. [18:19] Positioning the external monitor below the internal monitor on the virtual desktop means no problem, because that way it fits within the 2048x2048 constraint. [18:20] Misterio: That's good, you can help them find the bugs so when I do upgrade I don't have to deal with it. Impatience does have it's uses. [18:20] i2v8an: still no luck [18:20] And evidently, Totem along with MPlayer and such depend on 3D acceleration [18:20] dulak: thanks, can I choose like 300 fonts at once with this method? [18:21] MrRoboto: nope, you'd have to copy them wherever that install button does, then update the font cache to pick them up. [18:21] evening all [18:21] The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. [18:21] Dulak: would rather that [18:21] banshee doesn't really give much info when it says network error loading podcast [18:21] how do i fix that? [18:22] glithcd: apt-key [18:22] seems I either have to put up with 1024x768 on the external screen, or deal with the confusion of moving the mouse DOWNWARDS to move it to the other screen. [18:22] hell world [18:22] glithcd: you need to get a copy of the key and add it with apt-key add [18:23] ddilinger, how do i get the key? [18:23] glithcd: from wherever you got the source line for your sources.list [18:23] ddilinger, jus type that nd it will get the key? [18:23] how do I get the update-manager to keep previous kernel versions? [18:23] glithcd: i just joined chat, so dont have your full history :) [18:23] !info apt-key [18:23] Package apt-key does not exist in maverick [18:23] ddilinger, is it ok if i pm u? [18:23] Da_Wrecka: I put the external monitor on top of the internal monitor myself, the way it's laid out on my desk it feels more natural to move up onto the external instead of down. [18:24] glithcd: just ask here, generally better because if someone else has same issue its logged [18:24] Mmm. But that's you. [18:24] !pckg apt-key [18:24] My setup, the external monitor is to the right of the netbook [18:24] ddilinger, ok [18:24] !pkg apt-key [18:24] Da_Wrecka: mine too [18:24] nmvictor: its in the main apt package [18:24] Anyone know how to make my machine folder to my windows 7 os appear on my ubuntu guest?

[18:26] ubuntuselur: rtorrent is a terminal client [18:26] ddilinger: Yes, it is. But if I do that, the virtual desktop exceeds the 2048x2048 limit imposed by the video chip in my netbook [18:26] hello [18:26] Da_Wrecka: ahh, i get you. ya thats a bummer [18:26] ddilinger: he's stuck stacking up and down because of the resolutions [18:26] when I try to run VMware on ubuntu 10.10 I get an error that it can't build a kernel module and this is what its log says: http://pastebin.com/H9MmUstY [18:27] And while it IS possible to do that despite the hardware limitation, the result is that 3D acceleration is disabled === worthapp is now known as worldvoip [18:27] having a wierd problem with my bluetooth headset. If i connect the headset to my phone it works fine(audio received and sent), if I connect the headset to my ubuntu 10.04 machine it records just fine, but i have to plug in headphones and switch the output to headphones in padevchooser to get an audio(so, no audio on the headset). Anyone know where to start debugging this? [18:27] Da_Wrecka: it's brutal without 3d, might as well be on the framebuffer in 1995 [18:27] hi , I need some help , how do I set my folder option icon on ubuntu 10.10 ? [18:27] So I either use 1024x768 on my external monitor, or I need to stack one on top of the other virtually, otherwise no 3D acceleration and no playable video. [18:28] or just use the external monitor [18:28] can the internal be disabled? [18:28] Also an option, but I prefer to have two screens [18:28] well, your laptop doesn't like your preference :P [18:28] Once you go dual-head, it's hard to go back [18:28] i have a 23" horiz and 2x21" in vertical :) [18:29] (the VGA monitor I'm using, I was actually using on my gaming PC.

[18:31] Dulak, ddilinger, oh god, 400 GB was quite fast although on a 7200 RPM [18:31] glithcd: hmm, that has to be tangential to the apt-key problem [18:31] ddilinger, did u get everything else i entered? [18:31] glithcd: no, nothing actually [18:31] ddilinger, well please help me fix it [18:31] Gnea, any activity such as either browsing, etc [18:31] ddilinger, ok ill re-enter it [18:31] hey folks, I have a remote box that I want to make a persistant ssh connection back to a server I have - IE if the power goes out, when it reboots, it re-establishes the connection.... is there a more elegant way to do that than a bash script called by cron? [18:31] Dulak, ddilinger, but I guess it's wise to fsck the backup drive once a while? [18:31] EvaLuaTe: check vmware.com support forum to see if they have an update-any patch yet [18:32] SpaceBass: a tunnel or what does the ssh connection do? [18:32] Has anybody discovered a quick fix for bug 660649 (btrfs not mounting)? [18:32] ddilinger, yeah, a reverse tunnel [18:32] thank you for your help. [18:32] found out the solution on the net [18:32] glaucous: if you can unmount it and fsck it while doing other stuff sure === Guest40906 is now known as orlando_sp [18:32] appi_uppi: heat buildup perhaps? [18:32] ddilinger, i jus upgraded to 10.10(which btw is horrible so far) and i went to update nd its giving me msgs like "Unable to connect to ppa.launchpad.net:http: Err http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick/main i386 Packages " and the other one i posted [18:32] SpaceBass: /etc/rc.local [18:32] Gnea, no not really [18:32] SpaceBass: for a tunnel, i create 2 connections, local->remote and local->remote 22, then a cron that runs once a minute and checks if it can use the local->remote 22 to get a ls, if not it re-opens both tunnels [18:32] appi_uppi: how do you figure? [18:32] stefg, I get how rc.local would work at boot, but not for connection drops, or a server reboot, etc [18:33] Dulak, that does sound perfect. Guess I can turn automatic fsck off in fstab on those partitions (not root and /home). [18:33] hi everybody :D. my upgrade drom 10.04 to 10.10 hangs since over 1 hour at "setting new software channels". any ideas? can i safely close it by force & retry? [18:33] SpaceBass: so, forward local 10000-> remote 3306 and local 10001->remote 22 [18:33] ddilinger, this one too "E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [18:33] " [18:33] Gnea, I though someone would have encountered this problem before and could adive me where to look directly :) [18:33] ddilinger, got it! thanks and to reestablishe the tunnels you are using cron and a script? [18:33] SpaceBass: if port 10001 cant make a connection, it re-opens both. The check is run by cron once a minute or so [18:33] Gnea, even for the first time login, I am not able view mouse pointer. I have lock and unlock to view pointer. [18:33] EvaLuaTe: haven't touched 10.10 yet (this is one of the reasons lol), but if I was going to look for a solution, that's where I'd go [18:34] SpaceBass: i see. so since you need to listen to the heartbeat you'll have some sort of cron job anyway [18:34] ddilinger, and assuming you are using key pairs? [18:34] SpaceBass: yea, using a key with no password [18:34] Gnea, may be compatibility issues? [18:34] ddilinger, and stefg thanks!

[18:36] Gnea, I mean, for the first login I am not able to view mouse pointer. But When I manually lock the screen and later unlock it will make mouse pointer visible on the desktop.

What's the package that has the synaptics touchpad driver? [18:49] can anyone help me how to change my ubuntu resolution display ? [18:49] svm_invictvs: its part of a standard install xserver-xorg-input-synaptic (I believe) [18:49] William: I told you how to find guides using the lspci command [18:49] this is RIDICULOUS... why the hell can I not check for errors on the LIVE CD anymore???? Nice one Canonical... 8/ [18:50] ActionParsnip: Really [18:50] sorry i dont get it [18:50] ? [18:50] because im disconnecting just now [18:50] ubuntu: you can [18:50] ActionParsnip: Is thre an application that can adjust the settings? [18:50] <_Len> !sound [18:50] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [18:50] can you repeat / [18:50] ddilinger, thats what im trying to do but my internet is so crappy in 10.10 [18:50] ddilinger, this is making me soo mad, i almost want to jus delete 10.10 [18:50] ActionParsnip, care to share? [18:50] svm_invictvs: sure: dpkg -l |grep syna [18:50] ubuntu: if you lose the pathetic attitude, sire === ubuntu is now known as fireinspace [18:51] ubuntu: what do you mean you cant check for errrors? [18:51] Hey guys, I just updated to 10.10. What happened to my copy and paste? [18:51] ubuntuselur: md5sum the recorded disk and compare [18:51] Ubuntu: when the screen with the keyboard and stickman shows, press spacebar and you will see the old style menu [18:51] no highlight copy and middle click paste [18:51] plop [18:52] ActionParsnip, the attitude stems from someone who has computer skills struggling thanks to Canonical's 'make it simple' ethos... If I find it diffocult, n00bs will find it impossible [18:52] Ubuntu: just because you don't know its there doesn't always mean it doesn't exist [18:52] Hi. Im trying to figure out which /dev/file is my IR reciever that come with my laptop. please help [18:52] scribe: lol, i love that feature and people have been trying to remove it for 10 years because its not 'like windows' [18:52] fireinspace: it can still be asked mpore [18:52] ActionParsnip, but I'll refrain... shoot [18:52] how do I get my X11 copy and paste back? Ubuntu isn't windows! [18:52] More elequently [18:52] ActionParsnip : hi.. when i try lspci command [18:52] this is what i get [18:52] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) [18:53] ActionParsnip, how might one go about verifying live cd, aka check for errors in every other previous version of Ubuntu since time began ;0) [18:53] William: ok then you will most likely need an xorg.conf file, its the only way I've seen those fly [18:53] ddilinger, they didn't remove it right? There's some stupid option to make it right again, right? [18:53] William: those devices suck under Linux(at least In my experience) [18:53] yes i know , but i would like to try it [18:53] scribe: yea, i think its an xorg option but a quick google isn't turning one up [18:53] ok where should i put this xorg.conf ? [18:53] fireinspace: same way, its just hidden behind a dumb splash in newer versions [18:53] ActionParsnip, reason I ask is gparted and software centre have both crashed in live cd environment [18:53] dubious to install [18:54] hi [18:54] What's the best way to proxy only certain application through a vpnc tunnel? [18:54] William: you'll need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:54] ActionParsnip, never had to remove dumb splash before... esc? [18:54] ddilinger, and pastebin is not working correctly for me, it keeps wanting me to save a file call download.php instead of actually pasting anything [18:54] ddilinger, is there another service that i can use? [18:54] I just did a kernel upgrade via update manager and now my video keeps restarting in low graphics mode, can anyone help me? [18:54] fireinspace: any key will do, I use space [18:54] ddilinger, why do they have to screw with things! :) I didn't ask for it to be turned off. :) Thanks for the hint. I'll look [18:55] ddilinger, i dont know what to do.. [18:55] fireinspace: its also how to access the memory test [18:55] ActionParsnip, 'dumb splash'... your words, not mine... I agree though [18:55] glithcd: download a livecd on another pc perhaps [18:55] Does anyone out there know where I could find a decent guide to configure nagios3 on ubuntu 10? [18:55] glithcd: it sounds like everything broke on upgrade, a fresh 10.10 or 10.04 install is probably in order [18:55] ddilinger, dammit. [18:55] ActionParsnip, when i try ur command , this file is a new conf file. so where should i get this conf file? [18:55] William: you will see a blank file, you can now websearch your output of lspci to find guides and xorg.conf files. You should rebootto test [18:55] ddilinger, i didnt want to loose everything i have done in this ubuntu [18:56] ActionParsnip, I'll reboot and give it a once over.... I'm having to upgrade from Jaunty thanks to EOL... 80/ [18:56] ok [18:56] after i paste the source [18:56] i just reboot? [18:56] ddilinger, but i guess i have no choice [18:56] glithcd: tar up /etc, and your /home is on a seperate partition anyways right? [18:56] ddilinger, fuck. [18:56] ActionParsnip, cheers though, appreciate it [18:56] firewalker22: not much but this should get you started https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Nagios3 [18:56] glithcd: also do a dpkg --get-selections > packagelist [18:56] ddilinger, no its not. [18:56] glithcd: well, in the future /home always goes on its own partition :) [18:56] I updated my desktop (nvidia box) to maverick, and now I can't get X to come up. I keep ending up with just a blank screen and I have to reboot forcefully (via ssh) in order to fix it (killing X doesn't do anything, as X is in a bad state) [18:56] Hi, Sorry for the cross-talk, but can someone help me figure out which /dev/file is my IR reciever that come with my laptop. thanks [18:56] in the future, /home is in the "cloud" ;) [18:57] William: if the file doesn't yield a desktop, hold shift and boot to recovery root console and run: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old ,then reboot [18:57] ddilinger, but then i would have to partition my hd [18:57] ddilinger, i try to stay away from partitioning [18:57] glithcd: not sure how you would proceede, there is a way to resize ext partitions [18:57] hello.. [18:57] glithcd: well, if you dont have partitions then you cant re-install without losing everything [18:57] ActionParsnip, if they intend on hiding these things they should make it obvious there are more advanced options accessible via keypress - just a thought [18:57] ok i wil try [18:57] glithcd: with a 10G / and everything else on /home, you can reinstall any time [18:57] * napster good night to all [18:57] hello [18:57] ddilinger, ill try doin that then [18:58] * sresu says goodnight to napster [18:58] I am having trouble getting the ports of my router to be recongnized by nagios3 when I activate the commands in switch.cfg that are supposed to monitor the port-1 and reboot nagios it says there is a configuration error [18:58] William: you'll need to save the file before rebooting but yes. Good displays and decent video chips work together to see what res can be shown. In your case you need to tell the OS what's what [18:58] ddilinger, i think im jus gonna delete 10.10, then reinstall [18:58] glithcd: probably the easiest solution [18:58] glithcd: if you have another pc make a tar of /etc and back that up, and also dpkg --get-selections [18:58] ddilinger, so seriously i only need 10 gigs in the file system? [18:58] glithcd: 20 if you want, but generally / doesn't take up much space [18:58] I'm not sure if fsck is running or not. At boot I see "EXT4-fs (sdc5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)". And after that nothing happens. Although i happens on two other partitions as well. [18:59] fireinspace: if you look at the graphic its quite clear. Press the keyboard for human interaction ;). It is kinda cryptic === timmyt is now known as BirthdayProsper [18:59] glaucous: go with 20 to be safe, i've use 4.4G on this pc [18:59] ddilinger, i hope i can figure out how to delete/reinstall everything [18:59] fireinspace: did you md5 test the iso before you burned it too? [18:59] I updated my desktop (nvidia box) to maverick, and now I can't get X to come up. I keep ending up with just a blank screen and I have to reboot forcefully (via ssh) in order to fix it (killing X doesn't do anything, as X is in a bad state) [18:59] ddilinger, i usually have a buddy of mine helping me [19:00] I installed Ubuntu Lucid initially on my sysyem. To change it to Kubuntu I used the following commands - < sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get remove liborbit2 >. Now I want to have Ubuntu alone. What should be the right commands that will remove Kubuntu completely? [19:00] glithcd: well, dpkg --get-selections | grep install will get a list of all your packages [19:00] hello guys [19:00] maquis: remove the proprietary driver then reboot to use the open driver then reinstall the proprietary driver [19:00] glithcd: then you can apt-get install that package list later [19:00] i tried to remove default keyring but it tells me that there's no .gnome2 dir! [19:00] where could it be stored ? [19:00] ddilinger, ok [19:01] ActionParsnip: do you know off the top of your head where the driver is? is it going to be in /lib/firmware? [19:01] sandking: under your home folder? [19:01] Arg! I can't work with copy/paste broken! Who is responsible for this crap?! [19:01] dpkg --get-selection just enter that in terminal? [19:01] scribe: when you figure it out post a bug against 10.10 for it [19:01] Richie086: ah. i thought that in main folder [19:01] so /home/sandking/.gnome2 [19:01] scribe: i guarantee your not the only one with that issue :) [19:01] sresu: kubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage and will only remove itself if you use that method. It does not remove the other packages it installs [19:01] ddilinger, just enter this in terminal? dpkg --get-selection [19:01] I'm trying to find out why my terminal is *NOT* beeping at me. I'm using screen and when someone pings me on irssi I don't get a "ding" sound. I've double check to see if visual bell is turned on, and it's not. It's set to audio bell. Anyone got any ideas? [19:02] maquis: for what? [19:02] sandking: if you are not seeing .gnome2 in your home folder try ls -lh | grep .gnome2 [19:02] ActionParsnip: nvidia [19:02] ddilinger, thanks for being supportive and sympathizing with me. I will. [19:02] Hi, I have Kubuntu 10.10 and software upgrade from Kpackage kit gives a 403 error while update goes smoothly in the terminal [19:02] rubbs: sudo modprobe pcspkr ,may do it [19:02] . means it will be hidden usually when you list the contents of the dir [19:02] glithcd: `dpkg --get-selections` lists all the packages, `dpkg --get-selections | grep 'install$'` will get the list of installed packages (replace with Ctrl-V tab) [19:02] ActionParsnip: I said I used those command to install Kubuntu :) [19:02] ActionParsnip: I had used the hardware tool in 10.04 to add the driver [19:02] maquis: remove the packages using apt-get [19:02] Richie086: no, it's there. just the keyring file was named differently [19:03] sandking: oh is it working now? [19:03] ubuntu 10.10 is perfect [19:03] ddilinger, ok great thx [19:03] ActionParsnip: Now, how can I remove Kubuntu and install Ubuntu alone? [19:03] ActionParsnip: ok... i'll do that. thanks! [19:03] i see login.keyring instead of default.keyring [19:03] i got a trouble with ubuntu 10.10... sometimes it changes keyboard layouts randomly... what should i do? [19:03] sresu: I believe if you remove kde-core it will force the removeoff the kde apps [19:03] i suppose it's the same? [19:03] anyone using BURG? [19:03] sandking: can you rename the file? [19:03] glithcd: `dpkg --get-selections | grep 'install$' | cut -d '' -f 1` finally puts that list without the 'install' word at the end so it can be done with cat | sudo xargs apt-get intsall [19:03] !anyone | othniel [19:03] othniel: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:03] othniel, burg is awesome. [19:03] sandking: should not be an issue [19:04] hey there... can anyone tell me how to disable vsync? because it's messing somethings here.. sometimes computer gets stuck.. [19:04] is Ubuntu built on Debian stable with Ubuntu's own package updates & patches? [19:04] maquis: you can listthe installed packages with nvidia in and remove them [19:04] ActionParsnip: I'm on a laptop without a physical system speaker. It used to use the Ubuntu drum before I upgraded to 10.10. is modpcskr for physical pc speakers? [19:04] othniel, yes [19:04] Good stuff. [19:04] ActionParsnip: There is no package of that name.. [19:04] rubbs: not sure then [19:04] Richie086: bareword not allowed while strict subs in use... [19:04] nobarking: 10.04 LTS was built off of stable, but generally we sync from unstable. [19:04] nobarking: pretty much, and documentation as well [19:05] ActionParsnip: ok, I'll try a few more things. thanks for your help [19:05] Pici: *testing [19:05] sresu: dpkg -l |grep nvidia [19:05] Richie086: removing it should not make anything bad, right? [19:05] sandking: what are u doing in order to get that error? [19:05] Jordan_U: er, right, [19:05] ActionParsnip: Nvidia? Was that for me? [19:05] sandking: removing what? the keyring file?

[19:07] hi i have a pc connected to the ethernet of the other pc how can i do a ip forwarding correctly [19:07] sresu: Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [19:07] ddilinger: that's a lot of work, you can just feed that list verbatim to dpkg --set-selections and then run dselect to install the entire list in one go [19:07] sandking: check pm [19:07] Richie086: well, i removed it anyway.

[20:20] maquis, I think nvidia -current will work with the 6150 [20:20] im not trying to knock linux dli i want to use it but i need it to pull its weight [20:20] jockey? [20:21] maquis, hardware drivers manager [20:21] Tigger_Yum-Yum, also, you'd better provide more info and be more specific [20:21] dli, update works, but it says 0 upgrades available, then when I try to install, says 150 to install, then fails with: E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libbz2-1.0'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2) [20:21] i tried to use the "additional drivers" thing from inside gnome, but it said i wasn't using any drivers [20:21] the neuvoue driver works pretty well in 10.10 since my tnt2 drivers arnt suported any more [20:21] was I using the wrong tool? [20:21] KM0201: Because every time I tried to use regular GNOME all I got was a desktop with a couple of icons on it. No taskbar for running applications, no menus for loading applications short of Alt-F1. [20:21] i dont understand how i can go from running a pile of apps on windows 7 eating up half my cpu and ram just idling to nearly using nothing running linux but still having a slower response time [20:22] maquis, it should appear and recommend a driver. if not launch it manually [20:22] don't you love that [20:22] Da_Wrecka, strange, gnome works flawlessly on my netbook [20:22] sporkboy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9966852 [20:22] bjsnider: should appear when? and if I'm launching in manually, is it something other than the "additional drivers" menu under settings->administration? [20:23] maquis, that is the one [20:23] KM0201: Are you using the specific Netbook release, or the Desktop release? [20:23] bjsnider: ok... let me remove nvidia-current again and get rid of my xorg.conf again so I can get into that box again [20:23] Tigger_Yum-Yum, response time of what? example? [20:24] maquis, jockey adds a xorg.conf automatically when you activate a driver [20:24] Da_Wrecka, desktop release. [20:24] everything dli... opening folders... animations... programs open faster in general but still have a sluggish feel once open [20:24] bjsnider ok... i'll look at that [20:24] that may be why [20:24] I was using the Netbook release [20:24] bjsnider: do i want to check jockey before installing the driver, then? [20:25] maquis, activate the driver through jockey. do not do it manually [20:25] dli, yes, that's my problem, but I don't see a solution posted. [20:25] netbook release is slightly optimized more for netbooks hence why it feels more responsive on them [20:25] I just did the upgrade to maverick and upon checking xrandr - it now thinks my display is connected via "HDMI-1" whereas 10.04 thought it was DVI-I-1. How can I make this display be recognized as dvi-i-1? [20:25] Targeter, i guess i disagree.. it felt sluggish and awkard to me... I like a normal gnome on my netbook far better [20:26] i run a dual core amd cpu thats 32/64 dli but i always use 32 bit distros for compatibility sake... would that be the problem dli?

[21:07] Jacen: lap tops tend to get the problems, and some computers Ubuntu doesn't like at all, may depend on the version though. However sometimes other distros work much better on a computer than Ubuntu, but I would suggest trying a previous version of Ubuntu such as 10.04, before considering trying another distro. [21:08] I am about to report a bug with the Indicator Applet with regard to the mute indicator. apport-bug wants to know if it's a "sound/audio related problem" or a "display (X.org)" problem. I think they're talking about drivers there and this isn't a driver issue but an app issue. I just wanted to make sure, though. [21:08] I tried 10.04 before 10.10 came out [21:08] Jacen: same problem? [21:08] yep [21:08] Jacen:i suggest u go with 9.10 first [21:08] Jacen: I am not sure which Nivida card you got, but its not a really fancy one right? [21:08] Its pretty nice [21:08] its a 1gb [21:08] Jacen: Ubuntu tends to work best with standard hardware [21:09] Jacen: also as ace_steel is suggesting 9.10 may be a good idea to try [21:09] Jacen, that's probably a 9x... how does lspci identify it?

[21:11] I've tried enabling it with xset, and in the options of both xfce-terminal and gnome-terminal, but it's still not working [21:11] Jacen: it may just be a Plymouth issue [21:11] Jacen: the boot up [21:11] Jacen: that 10.04 and 10.10 use [21:12] ArtArfon: What language is that c? [21:12] C [21:12] GTK+ [21:12] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/513375/ [21:12] Well darn [21:12] Jacen: may be an issue with Plymouth itself, or just the way Ubuntu has done it. 9.10 uses Xsplash instead, and that may work better [21:12] Thought so [21:12] Well thanks guys!

[21:18] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [21:18] They are all listed there. [21:18] Jordan_U: you could try 8.04.4 the previous Long Term Support release, which like 9.10 gets support on desktop untill end of April next year. and if none of these work, loads of great alternative distros out there :) [21:18] acer_: It just passes different kernel parameters. I suspect the splash screen may be what's causing the reboot (and the recovery mode option doesn't include the "splash" kernel parameter) [21:18] Jacen: ^^^^^ [21:18] above [21:19] erUSUL, h00k, I've also tried /etc/init.d/gdm stop, but that didn't work either [21:19] Jordan_U, oh, if you mean the variations I've already tryed all of them. doesn't work :( [21:19] Told you they're listed on the site :) [21:19] oh okay [21:19] kevin_: sudo stop gdm && sudo pkill X [21:19] kevin_: like, they didn't show up?

[21:20] I'll give those a try [21:20] hi - how can I enable SHMConfig? Thanks [21:21] Your welcome [21:21] I want to schedule rsync to sync a remote folder to my local machine. The job/task must be able to prompt me for a sudo/gksu password when it runs (similar to how update manager autoruns and prompts for pw) and also prompt me for the SSH password needed to connect to the remote server. The job should also be able to log to a file owned by root. [21:21] anyone know how to pull this off? [21:22] How do I get mount.cifs binary? I cant find any package for it [21:22] Can't use cron because that runs in the background and I won't be able to input the passwords. [21:22] Jordan_U, ? [21:22] Is there a particular reason you want to have a scheduled task that requires interaction? Why not use public keys to avoid the need for passwords? [21:22] Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do? [21:23] Mathuin, I don't know how to use them yet... I was actually researching that earlier but then I figured if it prompts me for a pw that would be enough [21:23] in case anyone cares, it was pulseaudio that had it commented out. Why would anyone want to disable the x11 bell by default at pulseaudio level, it's beyond me... [21:23] I've already reinstalled grub-pc but it haven't deleted the stating up files related... [21:23] anyone use ubuntu-tweak ? [21:23] Could someone help me to solve this issue please??? [21:23] h00k, erUSUL, I tried sudo stop gdm && pkill X, and it worked, but it didn't put me to the command line [21:24] BBBThunda: searching the fine web for "passwordless ssh" will walk you through the process of configuring ssh. [21:24] Mathuin, will that cause ssh to ALWAYS be password-free? I do not want that. [21:24] kevin_: the tty's are in crtl + alt + f1-6. if they do not show up there is a bug somewhere ( or missconfiguration ) [21:24] acer_: The commands you're running manually are basically the same ones the menu entry is running, so it's odd that one causes a reboot and the other doesn't. [21:24] h00k, erUSUL all it did was put me to a black screen with text where I could type, but no command prompt, couldn't enter commands or do "ls" or "pwd" or nything [21:24] Mathuin, for that server I mean. [21:24] !ssh | BBBThunda [21:24] BBBThunda: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [21:25] kevin_: what graphic card do you have; what drivers? [21:25] erUSUL, I have 6 monitors, perhaps that has something to do with it? [21:25] If you configure the local root user to be able to log into the remote system as whatever user is necessary for the backup, you can schedule the cronjob as local root. [21:25] blist [21:25] Jordan_U, that's because probably my system is reading some different information from some source by default from the ones I am putting by hand. [21:25] erUSUL, I have 2 gts240 and 1 9800gtx [21:25] !root [21:25] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:26] thanks ilovefairuz, I know how to use ssh (not to mention scp and sshd), just don't know the downstream effects of using public keys, etc. [21:26] kevin_: and what are you suing? [21:26] using* [21:26] BBBThunda: some of those issues are discussed at that link. [21:26] erUSUL, you mean driver-wise? [21:26] The thing is how to find the resource where grub-pc is getting thiose wrong informations and that are the same one upgrade to 10.10 forgot to fix. [21:26] acer_: You can look at your /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see the exact commands being run when you select a menu entry. [21:26] BBBThunda: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [21:26] kevin_: well you do not have the three cards working at once? do you? [21:27] Oooh, ssh-copy-id, now *that's* useful. === don is now known as Guest11567 [21:27] erUSUL, yes, they are all working at the same time, and they do work, but they don't have the most up to date driver, I am trying to isntall them via the cli, but can't have gdm running at the same time. [21:28] so, sharing /home/bobby/Public (to anonymous users with, say, samba - or sharing ~user/public_html with read permissions for the apache user) means that /home/bobby must be readable by everyone, right? [21:28] kevin_: the drivers that come with ubuntu, did those not work for you? i assume since you are inst manually you are using nvidias run file? [21:29] what is ALSAmixer config folder? [21:29] i want to reset all the settings [21:29] acicula, the default drivers did work. However they are missing some functionality as well as being a bit choppy. I am trying to install via the nVidia run file. [21:29] where are the settings fore gnome panel and gnome themes stored? [21:30] Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do? [21:30] hi folks, I'm workin on setting up a newly bought nas, and when I mount one of its shares with nfs, it seems things are not written to the nfs-volume, but to the underlying root fs volume. Why is this? [21:30] acer_: Could you try asking in #grub? Mention the exact symptoms. [21:30] sammy: yeah i believe so, not the files in there though. dont think it has to be listable either, so just read permissions may be enough, but im not enirely sure on that otherwise try +x [21:31] kevin_: ah ok, thats pretty vital info. Whats not working precisely, you ran the .run file and now no gui will come up or? [21:31] excuse me, execute. acicula, thanks. +x allows cd'ing into a directory without reading its contents, for just this sort of occassion. I'm not sure what got me thinking I had to have +r instead of +x [21:32] Jordan_U, the information that grub.cfg file conteign is the same as I enter at prompt or linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro quiet splash [21:32] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic [21:32] Does anyone here works with rtai? [21:32] guys when i do right click in /home "create folder" is disable, how i can make folder this place ???/ [21:32] ravn: what do you mean by root fs volume [21:33] your local disk or some disk on your nas?

I cant find any package for it [21:33] soroush:u can mk it by using terminal [21:33] Does anyone here works with RTAI (Real Time Application Interface)? [21:33] how? [21:34] eh browse to your home folder by clicking on the house icon in nautilus [21:34] acicula: You will have to change permissions see man chmod [21:34] DraZoro: i dont, nor does he ;) [21:34] Does anybody know why libpam-unix2 disables user logins? [21:34] pwd -> if ur in ur hm folder then mkdir [21:35] i want to make ".fonts" folder in /home [21:35] soroush:first pwd on ur terminal [21:35] soroush: what are you trying to achieve, ubuntu uses a fairly strict regime when it comes where you put files? [21:35] * DraZoro send the wrong message to acicula apologies [21:36] soroush: you can have it in /home/soroush but not in /home [21:36] acicula, well, the default drivers allow me to use the computer. I'm using it now. However I think that they are limited and that the nV drivers would be better. I can't run the .run file because I have to be in text only mode, and that's what my goal is right now. I was thinking that because I have 6 screens it wierds out the ctrl + alt + f1-6 thing. [21:36] Hi, can someone guide me how to boot Ubuntu Live CD Image with GRUB2 ? [21:36] How do I change x-server? For instance I se X :3 -ac and start a wine application there.

[21:38] i need some wifi help [21:38] kevin_: well not very knowledgeable about multicard setups,does it use multiple x servers or just one for all cards?, you can shutdown the x server by typing sudo service gdm stop in a terminal. The nvidia has an uninstall flag i think if things dont work. Id recommend removing the existing nvidia-binary drivers before installing the nvidia drivers manually(and remove those first before reenabling the drivers that came with ubuntu) [21:38] liminal: What is the problem with wifi ?

Instead I'm put into a black screen that I can type on, but there is no prompt at all, can't execute commands.

I am interested in featuring a product in the ubuntu software store [21:43] kevin_: oic [21:43] Laurenceb: Why don't you back up and do a fresh install ? [21:43] hi the fonts on firefox in ubuntu dont look good. Is there a way to improve look, by using anti aliasing maybe? [21:43] Tarantulafudge, is it open source?

When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do? [21:45] why you change to this path ?

[21:45] acicula, haven't tried that, i thought that the recovery mode used a different kernel, and installing the drivers with that kernel would not work for the other kernel. Is that true?

[21:46] Laurenceb: it used to be possiblle with an alternate cd, but itĺl be a pain if you have more then just a basic system installed still, best to just go find a speedy internet pipe [21:46] yeah thats my thoughts [21:46] basix-, yes, just connect it and open Rhythmbox ;) [21:46] the incicator applet is supposed to show the volume right? [21:46] <_CommandeR_> need help with ubuntu and dmraid, thing is that it sees my disks but not the array [21:46] Tarantulafudge, the closed source stuff in the software center comes from the canonical partners repo. [21:46] kevin_: eh it uses the samme kernel [21:46] mine doesn't show it [21:46] waltercool, thanks :) [21:46] just nick a connection at work as opposed to my crappy adsl [21:47] acicula, ok, I'll give that a shot, thanks! [21:47] kevin_: look in menu.lst or whatever the grub file is, the kernel options are different [21:47] kevin_: getting a terminal without a prompt means there isnt a login program running [21:47] ssam, what about selling open source? [21:47] ért valaki a maximához? [21:47] acicula: my local disc mounted on / [21:48] hey guys, my file server recently broke so moved the Hard drive to a similar computer but the target machine has a integrated intel gfx card as opposed to the original nvidia gfx - im getting low graphics mode when i get to ubuntu now and it's failing to load nvidia drivers--- obviously... how do i make the switch in gfx drivers? [21:48] kevin_: kinda obvious i admit, but could be its hidden somewhere, thing shift and ctrl and such also may serve as hotkeys for more terminals [21:48] cool, thanks acicula I appreciate it. [21:48] Tarantulafudge, you can try, but there is nothing to stop anyone packaging it and putting it in the main repo for free [21:48] Viliny: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:48] ssam, right, will I still need to contact canonical to do that? [21:48] ravn: eh im sorry i only have like 5 lines of memory, your response was regarding what again? [21:49] is ubuntu faster when installed as a seperate partition, and slower when installed via windows with wubi.exe? [21:49] of course [21:49] acicula: regarding the nfs mount... [21:49] ah [21:49] Tarantulafudge, to get it in the main repo, you just need to make sure the source is online somewhere and file a bug asking for a package [21:49] any ideas? [21:49] can you pastebin the output of mount [21:49] phisher1: thanks, it's done now without any feedback - it's ok now? [21:50] qwertyjustin: slower via wubi [21:50] Viliny: eh, actually, goto console, stop gdm, then run that [21:50] acicula: no output the relevant line from df is "192.168.1.100:/media 1943483136 554752 1942928384 1% /home/nfs" [21:50] acicula: yeah i thought so, why is that? is it just slower to load up, but otherwise just as fast to actually run? [21:51] Tarantulafudge, though it might be good to get into a ppa first [21:51] what was the command to stop gdm again? [21:51] /etc/init.d/gdm stop [21:51] qwertyjustin: wubi opens the file containing the / at boot and mounts it as a loopback, so you are mapping a fs in a file on a disk. [21:51] Viliny, or sudo services gdm stop [21:52] qwertyjustin: at least i assume thats how it works [21:52] i was waiting for someone to say that. =\ [21:52] it told me to stand by for a minute while the display resets and then went black screen on me [21:52] Viliny: you ran that from within Gnome ?

[21:53] yes, that [21:53] why would you do that ? [21:53] acicula: yes, that's why it's strange that after a umount the directories I created are still visivle...

Honestly, I did not do anything different this time! weird?!? [21:55] do not go into single user [21:55] the equivalent of this line /etc/sysconfig/network gives this /etc/network/interfaces so what is the equivalent of this line /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ?

[22:03] nerdy_kid: punch it into google, this is pretty well documented stuff. theres no need to phsyically locate the partition table though [22:03] Viliny: take out any instance of glx too [22:03] http://pastebin.com/yrnFJQJa [22:03] something along those lines [22:04] shell commands? apt-get install ??? [22:04] missing a endsection there, but you get the idea [22:04] nerdy_kid, to restore the partition table sfdisk /dev/sda < partition.save [22:04] kv102t: see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades [22:04] nerdy_kid, to restore the mbr dd if=/path/to/savembr of=/dev/sda [22:04] bluefrog ok thanks a bunch :) I guess the mbr is the first 512 bytes not kilobytes -- always get that mixed up. [22:04] okay i removed glx module and set intel as the gfx [22:05] trying now [22:05] kv102t: Also Kubuntu specific: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades/Kubuntu [22:05] Can anyone help me? During some Linux boots, I end up with a bunch of sprawling code that will end and lead me nowhere after a point. :( [22:05] can you help me? [22:05] kgunpowder: You would have to be more specific as to what the code says. [22:06] tylermolamphy, I believe it says "kernel-init-helper" [22:06] I want to get rid of a package, but even though I attempt to purge it, it freezes my system. how to completely get rid of it? [22:06] phisher1: im golden :) thanks man! [22:06] acicula: thanks, I had to enable receiving in options [22:06] tylermolamphy, this happens when I use the recovery console, and recently when booting Ubuntu, then I get nowhere. [22:06] is it safe to update??? is there anything new- that stands out.. [22:06] Hi, is naybody able to help me , with sound cards, at the moment i got two SOUND cards one inside HDA and another External (creative SB094) , How can i make it work my external card? and disable HDA soud card? [22:06] no [22:07] ari-tczew: oh i missed that bit, but glad you figured it out and shared it :) [22:07] Viliny: that work for ya? [22:07] kgunpowder: Let me do some googling, one second. [22:07] make him google for himself [22:07] Hi.. I'm on irssi now. How can I initiate X11 from CLI? [22:07] startx [22:07] or gdm start [22:07] phisher1: yes! now, i have some fstab lines about hd's that aren't there anymore... any way to regenerate fstab or something? [22:07] is it safe to update??? is there anything new- that stands out.. [22:08] im watching it in gedit atm and they are all sd hd's whilst the one ubuntu is on is a pata and should be hda? [22:08] just remove the erroneous lines [22:08] Also if i download and use CD to upgrade, it will do so, Correct? [22:08] kgunpowder: Do you have a prompt that you can use when you boot? [22:08] anybody know why i'm getting kept back from all these libboost packages? [22:08] yes [22:08] phisher1: I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 and went to tty1. So I should try startx.. right? === Guest86993 is now known as Larsos [22:08] hsr: are you already in an X session ? [22:09] Only a prompt asking me for one of three boot options, and after that it just scrolls through code and would SEEM as if it's waiting for something, but nothing. [22:09] Tylermolamphy [22:09] phisher1: I don't know.. cannot say [22:09] hit ctrl-alt-f7 [22:09] can you say now? [22:09] this channel should be split [22:09] Is there a guide to installing packages without root priveleges? I know I can just download the .deb and extract it into my own home directory somewhere but how can I take care of all the deps easily? I'm looking to use KDE apps on a university Ubuntu machine that doesn't have them installed. [22:10] Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do? [22:10] MrClean: - split into what? [22:10] i am having problems exporting my songs from my ipod to my computer with rhythm music player, does this program not support that feature with ipod? [22:10] kv102t: MrClean you can update from cd/dvd with the alternate installation disc. [22:10] kgunpowder: What are your three boot options? [22:10] hi [22:10] hi [22:10] gaynmede: sudo apt-get install [22:10] tylermolamphy, boot generic, recovery boot, and go back for my Win7 option. [22:10] kv102t: id use an online update if possible though [22:11] phisher1: Yes... Thanks :) What was it? [22:11] MrClean: Okay, without sudo priveleges either. [22:11] what's the name of the program ubuntu netbook edition uses for the gnome panel? (the one on the left side) [22:11] phisher1: can i completely copy the hd im booting from to a sata disk i have? pata->sata want to put the os on a bigger disk [22:11] can someone help with all these libboost packages that i keep getting when trying to apt-get upgrade? [22:11] Cebot: mutter [22:11] Viliny: eh.. using ghost ya [22:11] why though ? [22:12] just backup what you need elsewhere then do a fresh insatll [22:12] ganymede: you can't sudo anything? [22:12] acicula: it's not showing on my update manager [22:12] kgunpowder: This would be a lot easier if I had the actual error that you are getting. Could you maybe boot up and give me the last few lines of code on your screen? [22:12] MrClean: Nope, just a normal user. [22:12] phisher1: It worked.. But what actually happened? [22:12] hsr: what worked? === sorah_off is now known as sora_h [22:12] * hsr really like irssi now [22:12] Irssi 0.8.15 (20100403) - http://irssi.org/ [22:12] =) [22:12] phisher1: Ctrl+Alt+F7 worked [22:12] ganymede: join #linuxmint-help will probably be more helpful than this [22:12] what did it do ? [22:13] tylermolamphy, That is the last line, something about the kernel help but along with that there's that line, and one with a ? at the beginning, like that for hundreds of lines too. Not just that one. [22:13] f7 is the tty predefined to have an X session [22:13] phisher1: It went to desktop I should say.. My okular was open, I was reading pdf [22:13] phisher, spent so much time configuring this server id like to just transfer him to a better hd [22:13] kv102t: go into system->administration->software sources and look for an option that governs wether you get informed of every 6 month ubuntu upgrade or just the 18month lts update. [22:13] gotcha. [22:13] in icecast audio device is hw:0:0 (microphone) how to change it to speakers or how to get hw number of speakers? [22:13] Viliny: you are still better off reinstalling [22:13] MrClean: or #debian even. [22:13] you can get a list of packages you have installed and just install them to new box [22:14] then copy over your ~/ [22:14] kv102t: then rerun update-manager, check sources and it should provide you the upgrade option at the top of the update-manager window [22:14] kgunpowder: That's a bit confusing. What specifically does it say about your kernel? If it is a kernel issue and it's not giving you a prompt, it's usually cause for a re-installation of the kernel. [22:14] acicula: thanks. by any chance, got the project homepage at hand too? [22:14] I'm trying to install 10.10, but when i boot from the cd, my keyboard and mouse don't work. I've never had this problem before, and I'm currently running 9.10 [22:14] phisher1: So the desktop is X session and this cli on which irssi is is tty, right?

[22:14] yes but settings and all... it worked as a dhcp server and gateway and everything - took me a day to configure it all at some point and id just rather not do all that again... [22:14] running Ubuntu 10.04. I am unable to resize my print dialog windows for some reason. Any ideas? [22:14] hsr: don't run irssi from console dude [22:14] open up a terminal [22:14] phisher1: That was the only help.. see [22:14] phisher1: But why? [22:15] copy/paste [22:15] Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use.

I never wanted to install it but it seems it is a dependency for tucan === nozes is now known as nozes_off [22:16] it always freezes when unpackiing [22:16] defib: what graphics hardware, or what computer if you dont know do you have, have you enabled hardware drivers? [22:16] acicula: nvm, got it...though googling for "mutter" will give you funny results, as it's the german word for "mother" :P [22:16] unpacking* [22:16] phisher1: Why I should not use irssi in tty? [22:16] Cebot: add mutter window manager [22:16] anyone help me please ?? [22:16] tylermolamphy, That would make a bit of sense, because I can't get anywhere when it comes down to that, but it would seem that another copy of "Isadora" does just about the same. [22:16] acicula: I enabled the flgrx driver. I have an ati mobility radeon hd 4650 [22:16] acicula: it's says "long term support" [22:17] יקטיק [22:17] heya [22:17] how can I toggle between languages using the keyboard? [22:17] defib: what if you disable the flgrx driver again, does compiz work then [22:17] nadav: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:17] this is so crowded in this window , can someone write me in PM ? [22:17] phisher1: Okay.. No problem. Thank you [22:17] hsr: I just gave you reasons dude [22:17] ette [22:17] phisher1: When??

[22:17] somehow i am no longer able to resize the print dialog windows or the columns inside. Any ideas? === don is now known as Guest14379 [22:17] acicula: lemmie try that. when I enable the advanced desktop effects in appearance a window pops up looking for drivers [22:17] FloodBot1, what the hell? I only typed 2 sentences [22:17] phisher1: Okay. Sorry. Thanks [22:17] On 9.10 are there issues with solr-tomcat5.5 I am getting dependencies issues and I can't find anything in any bug reports. [22:18] defib: ah, dunno then :/ [22:18] How to close irssi? [22:18] Anyway, back to my question - Is there any way I can toggle between languages using a keyboard shortcut? [22:18] hsr: /quit [22:18] /quit [22:18] acicula help me please, i cant reach to desktop of ubuntu [22:18] How to close irssi?+ [22:18] akaedintov: where during booting does it get stuck [22:18] hsr: /quit [22:18] phisher1: And I repeat Ctrl+Alt+f7 will give me f7 [22:18] !! [22:18] acicula: when i do compiz --replace everything flashes and then theres no title bars [22:18] kgunpowder: I would try reinstalling Mint, but if a fresh installation throws this error at you, then it's either a bad kernel release (unlikely,) or it doesn't like your computer hardware (more likely.) [22:18] noo [22:18] -++ [22:18] hsr: yes [22:19] wow, pay attention [22:19] defib: yeah means compiz isnt starting [22:19] kgunpowder: I'm not familiar what kernel Mint runs on, so from there you're about on your own. [22:19] acicula: OK i got it. Should i update? [22:19] acicula: is there some command i can do that will give some feedback? [22:19] kv102t: that depends [22:19] I'm trying to install ndiswrapper, and I'm trying to compile from source. The install file says when I run ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build, I need to see .config and include, but I don't have .config. How can I get it? [22:19] tylermolamphy, I'd take your advice for both, ubuntu didn't have my drivers and although I got around that, Mint has disagreed from the start. [22:19] whats wrong with mint? === Obadiah is now known as Vivek [22:19] defib: did you restart after enabling flgrx? [22:20] acicula: of course [22:20] acicula: well eveything works. is there anything new and sweet about the 10.10... ? lol [22:20] kgunpowder, MrClean mint is OT here [22:20] ot? === james is now known as Guest58331 [22:20] MrClean, sorry, Off Topic [22:20] Is there any way I can toggle between languages using a keyboard shortcut?

[22:20] I try to remove a user account through the gui and when I close and go back to it; its still there. when i try the terminal command i get "userdel: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later." [22:20] how is it off topic? its based off ubuntu? [22:20] kv102t: idunno, im using 10.10, its not completely terrible, theres an maverick experience topic on the ubuntu forum that may be usefull? === askhl__ is now known as askhl [22:21] acicula: could anything go wrong, now i know yer,yer it could but how lickley is it. Got vbox what i don't want to kill [22:21] try ##mint [22:21] phisher1, I have no idea, where would I find it? [22:21] Guest58331: sudo [22:21] or gksu [22:21] kgunpowder: Try out a new flavor, like Ubuntu 10.10 or Kubuntu 10.10, and see if you still have the same problems. Then you'll know that it's your hardware, unless Mint and Ubuntu run the same kernel. I have no idea if they do or not. [22:21] sudo did not work [22:21] Ubuntu 10.10 is what I'm using, but I'll give a reinstall a shot. [22:21] Tylermolamphy [22:21] defib: hmm, id stick to flgrx then, dunno why compiz is failing then. err could try starting it with compiz --replace and pasting any error message into google to see what turns up? [22:21] Why i cannot format my USB, is it broken ? [22:21] zykoticK9: how is Mint off topic, its based off ubuntu? [22:22] kgunpowder: When you said Isadora, I assumed you were running Linux Mint. My bad. [22:22] Guest58331: open a terminal, sudo /usr/sbin/userdel -rf usertodel [22:22] oh, and whats the keyboard shortcut to bring up a run [22:22] !mintsupport | MrClean [22:22] MrClean: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [22:22] defib: alt-f2 [22:22] !mint | MrClean [22:22] thanks [22:22] kgunpowder: In that case, try 10.04 and see if those issues are there. [22:22] How to system activity from CLI? [22:22] kgunpowder: They run different kernels. [22:22] *know [22:22] MrClean: In the same way that Ubuntu is offtopic for #debian. It's not a supported derivative. [22:22] acicula: ill try that real quick [22:22] acicula: might just download as CD and try as liveCD first. [22:22] sresu: top [22:22] kv102t: if ose it'll get updated automatically, if its the closed source version you'll have to make sure the new kernel gets the driver i think. As always backup before upgrading [22:22] rww: thats just silly. [22:22] AHemlocksLie: are you booted to your currently installed kernel? [22:22] can someone help me with the installer. My keyboard doesn't work when I boot off the cd. I can't select a language or do anything.... it just hangs. [22:23] i.e., did you install a new kernel but not reboot? [22:23] acicula , check your pm plase [22:23] kv102t: it works fine for me bar a few small glitches with hardware thats poorly supported(still). [22:23] can i write from here please? [22:23] at first i installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition, without a problem, it opened as usual. [22:23] and there was 2 drivers neeeded permission to install , wireles drive and nvidia. [22:23] i allowed them, because of that , i cant get to ubuntu ever agaib [22:23] Ubuntu 10.10 akaedintov tty1 [22:23] akaedintov: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:23] phisher1, yeah, I'm in Ubuntu 10.10 right now, haven't done anything special, just a regular boot [22:23] MrClean: No, it isn't. Linux Mint makes changes that we don't know about or support, so if you want help with Mint, use their channel. If you want to use this channel, use this channel's distribution.. === maco2 is now known as maco [22:23] phisher1: Try the silly stuff, like changing to another USB port. [22:23] userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later. is what came out after running that command [22:23] acicula: all it puts out after compiz --replace is ' starting gtk-window-decorator ' [22:23] rww: what if I use both? [22:23] akaedintov: im not a personal support, for that i get payed. please ask your questions here [22:23] arbeck: Try the silly stuff, like changing to another USB port. [22:24] tylermolamphy: Thanks [22:24] MrClean: Then you can ask in here for help with the Ubuntu install, and in Mint's channel for help with the Mint install. [22:24] phisher1: My bad, wrong person. [22:24] acicula: Thanks, Think i'll clode MY HDD before updating ! [22:24] sresu: No prob. [22:24] is there cpuburn for 10.10? [22:24] rww: how can I make firefox free of latency issues in Kubuntu? [22:24] tylermolamphy, I've tried all the silly stuff I can thing... two usb keyboards, changing all the ports, etc... i might be able to dig up a ps2 keyboard from someone, but I don't want to have to do that [22:24] MrClean: No idea, I don't use Firefox on my Kubuntu. [22:25] akaedintov: FloodBot1 is a bot, it doesn't understand you. Ask in-channel. [22:25] arbeck: What version are you trying to boot? [22:25] gizmobay: Yes, its in universe. [22:25] AHemlocksLie: click on the little power button [22:25] at first i installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition, without a problem, it opened as usual....and there was 2 drivers neeeded permission to install , wireles drive and nvidia...i allowed them, because of that , i cant get to ubuntu ever again....Ubuntu 10.10 akaedintov tty1,akaedintov login: password:.aka@akaedintov: ~$ _.and so i cant reach to desktop.plase help me :( [22:25] AHemlocksLie: does it say restart to install updates? [22:25] phisher1, nope, just regular restart [22:25] rww: is this channel always so....full....and lacking etiquette? [22:25] tylermolamphy, 10.10 amd64... i'm running 9.10 currently [22:25] akaedintov: dont post your password as this channel is publicly indexed [22:26] AHemlocksLie: you do have build-essentials installed right? [22:26] it is not my password [22:26] akaedintov, i'd suggest you try to uninstall nvidia and reboot. possibly "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current" if you installed current. good luck. [22:26] just described my problem [22:26] build-essential * [22:26] akaedintov: do you know how to remove an nvidia driver via apt-get ? [22:26] phisher1, I believe so, I'll try again just in case. sudo apt-get install build-essentials? [22:26] sudo apt-get install build-essential [22:26] nope [22:26] arbeck: Try 10.10 i386 if you have another install media. It will work on your arch. Check if you have to same problems, but you don't have to install it 32bit. [22:26] phisher1, already newest version [22:27] which of these commands [22:27] do what ZykoticK9 posted, login on the text console and use sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current [22:27] and , what will happen then , ill use it without driver ? [22:27] then reboot and do not reenable the nvidia driver for now [22:27] A few days ago my network interface stopped detecting the ethernet connection in 10.04. I'm not sure what changed as it had been working fine previously, but I have confirmed that the problem is on the computer itself (hardware or software, not sure, but my hardware is rather new and higher end) [22:27] Hey. I've got a question. Does anybody knows how to disable the automuting of speakers feature? Ubuntu mutes my front panel headphones when I plug them [22:27] What should I be checking to get this back up/ determine if its hardware or ubuntu problem? [22:27] icedoe: run ifconfig and post here the output [22:28] akaedintov: well there are two drivers, a binary one and an open source one. the binary one just carries more features [22:28] phisher1, is .config supposed to be part of build-essentials or something? [22:28] AHemlocksLie: i'm guessing you can't use the version in repos? [22:28] AHemlocksLie: no.. i'm not sure what actually puts .config there [22:28] phisher1, of ndiswrapper? nope, I was trying to use ndisgtk, but that's giving me errors finding the ndiswrapper module [22:28] usuario, that's funny - usually people want the opposite. I have no idea though - good luck. [22:28] ok then,ill try and come ask again [22:28] thanks [22:29] yw [22:29] Hi, I upgraded to 10.10. I have my /home dir backed up. In places, I kept bookmarks of servers I connected to often. Where in ~/ can I locate the config file so I can access my shares again in new install? Thank. [22:29] hey [22:29] <_CommandeR_> what is the fdisk hex code for /home partition [22:29] phisher1, so I'm trying to install ndiswrapper from source, which involved tracking down a patch to make it compatible with kernel 2.6.35, so it compiles okay, but still doesn't fix the problem, so I'm guessing I need .config [22:29] _CommandeR_: depends on the filesystem? [22:29] <_CommandeR_> ext4 [22:29] hey, i have a question regarding hooking my laptop up to my TV set [22:29] Reading package lists...

[22:31] the Fn key! [22:31] i'll try that [22:31] phisher1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:32] oh shutup bot [22:32] the fn key [22:32] the function one [22:32] AHemlocksLie, are you looking for kernel .config then ... /boot/config-`uname -r` [22:32] the one that says FN [22:32] can someone PM me [22:32] you know? FN? [22:32] that's all it takes? thanks! i'll try that [22:32] no no the Fn key on the laptop keyboard [22:32] who can help with update [22:32] acicula, yeah, installing ndisgtk from repositories isn't working right, can't find ndiswrapper module, so I'm trying to install from source to hopefully fix it [22:32] not like f1,f2,f3... [22:32] thats a bit queer mate [22:32] Guest58331: [16:30] < phisher1> and you are running via sudo or su'd to root ?

[22:33] kk alguem falando portugues ? [22:33] and thank you too, mrclean. you could hae helped me, but you've done so much omre [22:33] more [22:33] phisher1: yes I am [22:33] AHemlocksLie: modprobe ndiswrapper should load it for you?

[22:33] Yu know, I still don't know why ubuntu couldn't wait until my birthday (22) to release meerkat [22:33] tarzeau, lotsa ppl asking questions... [22:33] Chaser, do I just need to copy that to the build folder? [22:33] tarzeau: I thought that was obvious. [22:33] phisher1: the billionths second after unix time was LOTS of traffic. this is low === doc87 is now known as mr_blue [22:33] Bing0: not that much [22:33] mmk [22:33] Bing0: i've seen busier channels [22:33] Hi, I upgraded to 10.10. I have my /home dir backed up. In places, I kept bookmarks of servers I connected to often. Where in ~/ can I locate the config file so I can access my shares again in new install? Thank. === mr_blue is now known as mr_blue_ [22:33] ahh [22:33] was waiting for you [22:33] mr. 1up [22:33] acicula, it's not working. It says FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found [22:33] theres always at least 1 === mr_blue_ is now known as mrblue [22:33] Bing0: which application was it? gnome nautilus or something? [22:34] AHemlocksLie, I dont know anything about ndiswrapper but yeah to compile a new kernel you have to copy that as .config === mrblue is now known as _mr_blue_ [22:34] does anyone use wubi installer in here? [22:34] output from ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/513410/plain/ [22:34] used it once. SUCKS big time [22:34] Chaser, okay, so in theory, I need to copy that to the build folder, rename it to ".config", and try to compile ndiswrapper again? [22:34] hi, i need to disable eclipse in indicator menu applet. anyone knows where to do that? [22:34] AHemlocksLie: what ubuntu version are you using? [22:34] Has anyone gotten root on iSCSI working? I can install fine, but when I boot the system using gPXE, it shows grub and then iscsitarget says "login failed to authenticate with target", even though there is no authentication configured during Ubuntu setup or on the target. [22:34] acicula, 10.10 [22:34] tarzeau, I assume. the app that is called when I click Places in the upper tray. [22:35] looks to me like it detects the ethernet, but at least network manager is not detecting [22:35] !anyone | LordDragon [22:35] how do i update from RC? [22:35] LordDragon: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:35] AHemlocksLie, yes also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [22:35] AHemlocksLie: odd, its part of the standard kernel image [22:35] !final | moonunit [22:35] moonunit: 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. [22:35] Bing0: must be gnome. it's a config file in your home. gconf,gconf2 .gnome or .gnome2, there's so many places, or even .local [22:35] can you type in locate ndiswrapper.ko [22:35] Bing0: it'll be hard to locate the exact place [22:35] How to repair a damaged USB ? [22:35] ZykoticK9, i already asked my exact question but no one noticed :) [22:35] acicula, originally, it couldn't find ndiswrapper.ko, then I fixed that with depmod -a, then it started the module not found stuff [22:36] Bing0: the point is, gnome application configuration is a big big mess. worse than windows registry imho [22:36] Bing0: at a guess its somewhere in .gnome [22:36] ZykoticK9, my question was this: [22:36] hey all. im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 with wubi on my windows xp netbook. but even though i have the 10.10 iso in the same directory as the wubi.exe installer, it insists on installing 10.04-1. is there any way to fix that? [22:36] tarzeau, i was afraid of that :/ [22:36] acicula, ok thanks [22:36] Bing0: just don't use gnome? :) [22:36] <_CommandeR_> when creating a partition with fdisk how do you specify it as /home (with t command) [22:36] acicula, yeah, I have it now that I tried to install it from source after tracking down a kernel patch, but it's still not working, so I'm trying to get .config [22:36] tarzeau, im not that linux literate yet [22:36] LordDragon: just install 10.04 and update [22:36] =\ [22:36] im getting there :) [22:36] Bing0: or don't bother configuring it, or saving/restoring/upgrading their config files [22:36] _CommandeR_: mount locations are not set via fdisk [22:36] Bing0: it's not a linux problem. it's a gnome problem [22:36] just the disk type [22:36] _CommandeR_, partitioning and mounting are two separate things [22:37] Bing0: mister icaza thought he's a very smart guy. but he's not [22:37] phisher1, i tried that. it killed my current install and ubuntu wont even boot now. so i was gonna do a fresh install of 10.10 [22:37] it's all good tarzeau [22:37] acicula, ...but locate ndiswrapper.ko still doesn't return anything, which is odd, I've seen it in a folder before, so I know it exists [22:37] AHemlocksLie: the kernel config you mean? [22:37] When I run update-notifier, I get "** (update-notifier:21653): WARNING **: already running?" [22:37] Any advice? === hadeS_ is now known as Guest59149 [22:37] _CommandeR_, /home should be type 82 or 83 (one is linux the other swap, forget which is which) [22:37] AHemlocksLie: err, dpkg-query -S ndiswrapper.ko gives ? [22:37] ZykoticK9: 83 is Linux, 82 is swap. [22:37] _CommandeR_: ^^ [22:37] * tarzeau continues to play nethack and murder some more Gnomes... [22:37] MindVirus1, thanks [22:37] acicula, I guess, the install file says running ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build needs to have at least .config and uh... something else it has now [22:38] the kernel config is stored in boot, its the map file [22:38] acicula, er, had already [22:38] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, thanx, yes it is 83 that is Linux [22:38] <_CommandeR_> was unsure in what to choose. [22:38] duh, that is kernel config.. [22:38] I feel like it's a problem in my home directory. [22:38] been so long since I've manually installed a kernel [22:38] my minimize and close buttons on windows are to the left how do i move the to the right? [22:38] Some configuration's screwed up. [22:38] ok, so the Fn key did absolutely nada [22:38] fgh: Get gconf-editor. [22:38] (You should have it.) [22:38] !controls | fgh [22:38] fgh: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [22:39] Or that. [22:39] mostholy: you realize you have to hit it in combination with the CRT/LCD button also right ? [22:39] tarzeau, you still here? [22:39] mostholy: sure [22:39] How do I connect to an LAN (ethernet) in ubuntu 10.10 (the connection is bridged with a wireless Internet connection)? [22:39] nope, no one told me that [22:39] Any advice? [22:39] mostholy: the Fn key is like shift or ctrl or alt [22:39] that's why i was asking how to do it [22:39] * phisher1 sighs [22:39] im back agaaiin! [22:39] acicula, the dpkg command shows it in /kernel/ubuntu/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko, but that's only because I saw something somewhere while it was still giving errors about it that it needed it there. Actually, I need to reboot now that I've copied it into the kernel folder, don't I? [22:39] mostholy: it's dead, pressed alonely. but combined with the right other key, it's very powerful [22:39] EXIT [22:39] [16:31] < phisher1> Fn+F6 [22:39] [16:31] < phisher1> or whateevr [22:39] I use the fresh skin which have the buttons on the right side [22:39] mostholy: check the color of the fn letters on the key [22:39] i deleted nvidia-current [22:39] thanks zykotick9 [22:39] yeah tarzeau, i know the the Fn key [22:39] meesebyte: plugin cable , optionally set connection details in nm-applet, right click->edit connections [22:39] but now [22:39] mostholy: then look for this color on other keys [22:39] acicula, originally, it was in /lib/modules/misc, but I put a copy of it where I thought it needed to go [22:40] just gotta find out which other key it is [22:40] mostholy: it should look like a screen symbol, that which will switch outputs [22:40] Come on. Anyone? [22:40] if this helps, its a Dell laptop. not my main machine [22:40] acicula: And.... Then what? Im there already [22:40] Looking for a challenge? [22:40] mostholy: it's very cool that you know the Fn key [22:40] i know how to do it on my Acer, ust not on the dell [22:40] Betcha can't solve this. [22:40] i deleted nvidia-current , but now , it comes to the image writing ubuntu and under it five dots. it stucks in there. [22:40] mostholy: LOOK at your keyboard.. you should see one of your function keys or # keys.. will either say CRT/LCD or have a picture of a monitor [22:40] hey guys ubuntu and kubuntu are pretty much the same except for their graphical looks right? [22:40] meesebyte: you need an ip,netmask and gateway, dns makes live more joyfull. thats it, if you dont have an internet connection then your bridge setup is broken [22:40] Robinux: yes [22:40] yep. looked for that. will try again [22:41] different desktop environments. [22:41] . [22:41] MindVirus1: i couldn't and wouldn't want to fix that, not ever for money [22:41] i deleted nvidia-current , but now , it comes to the image writing ubuntu and under it five dots. it stucks in there. [22:41] phisher1: i see ok thanks man, i think i made a mistake i should've downloaded kubuntu cuz i've never tried kde4.5 :D [22:41] phisher1, Robinux: The desktop environments are different as well as the applications you will be using. [22:41] acicula , are you rthere [22:41] akaedintov: try the rescue console and then the option that tries to start a gui or repair it? [22:41] akaedintov: welcome to ubuntu [22:41] MindVirus1: don't tell me. =) [22:42] phisher1: His name's right there. [22:42] akaedintov: do you have nv or nouveau drivers, if not nvidia? [22:42] rescue console as in select rescue option at boot. [22:42] obviously different applications specific to each desktop environemnt will be different. [22:42] Robinux: Why don't you just install KDE? [22:42] no i dont [22:42] should ifconfig output the same information when the ethernet cable is disconnected as when it is connected? [22:42] phisher1: Not the newbie. [22:42] *Not to [22:42] acicula: Will windows Internet sharing work instead of a bridge? [22:42] ive recently installed 10.10 now ubuntu doesnt recognize my keyboard AT ALL (laptop). bios does recognize it.. what could the issue be? [22:42] hence why I said "Don't tell me" [22:42] anyway... [22:43] okay, mousepad died now too [22:43] i can get KDE with aptitude? then before logging in it will let me choose wether to use KDE or GNOME? [22:43] tarzeau: he just removed the nvidia drivers as they broke the graphics, were restting it back to noveau, if the rescue console doesnt fix it he will have to drop to a root shell, forcibly reinstall noveau and dpkg-reconfigure and reboot [22:43] acicula , then ehich section i select , in recovery section ??? [22:43] Robinux: yes [22:43] phisher1: I have no reason to believe you're not a newbie -- especially if you answer inconclusively to a newbie. [22:43] nice :D [22:43] Anyways... [22:43] MindVirus1: fine, just don't talk to me for any reason then. =) [22:43] acicula: it should be possible without reboot too [22:43] phisher1: Deal! [22:43] akaedintov: not sure what the options are called, but one has to do with fixing your graphics or rescue graphics or safe mode or something to that extend. anyone who'sever seen that prompt feel free to chime in, heh [22:44] Is there any way to give GNOME's Window background color transparency or translucence? I'm thinking like panels do. [22:44] tarzeau: heu, probably [22:44] update-notifier will not start, saying "already running?" [22:44] Any advice? [22:44] Omen_20: wow [22:44] lets try that [22:44] t5hankls [22:44] "Maverick" that's how its spelled right? i wanna name my Vbox right [22:44] Robinux: yes [22:44] Omen_20: and when you have that, you work twice as fast? [22:44] tarzeau: hes stuck at boot though, so he needs to reboot and livecd/rescue to root shell first === usuario is now known as bef0rd [22:44] acicula: or init=/bin/bash linux kernel parameter? [22:44] tarzeau, point? [22:44] rww: thanks [22:45] Omen_20: i wonder why people ask for things like that. get a mac! [22:45] if you want to waste time [22:45] (and money) [22:45] tarzeau: id stick to using the root console [22:45] acicula: that's what you get, by init=/bin/bash [22:45] What directory could I remove to reset the data from update-notifier? [22:45] It would be in ~. [22:45] acicula: a console as root user [22:46] tarzeau, Whether u think it is a waste of time is irrelevant to me and doesnt answer whether or not it can be done. But thanks anyways. [22:46] Actually... Is there a program that detects what files a program reads or writes? [22:46] tarzeau: yeah but so will rescue mode -> drop to root shell, less change of errors [22:46] Omen_20: no, it can't be done easily [22:46] btw for a x64 processor with vbox being also x64 is it ok if i use the i386 version, it was saying (recommended) in the downloader and i felt there might not be enough x64 applications for x64 based systems or whatever [22:46] #centos [22:46] Omen_20: and if you do it, x gets unstable, as soon as you use applications that use opengl [22:46] Chaser, I copied it, but it's still not showing up when I run the ls command. did I do something wrong somehow? [22:46] tarzeau, ok, thx. I saw where Compiz could make everything transparent, but not certain parts of windows. [22:47] im getting 'no X keyboard found' how do i fix this? bios can find my keyboard, standard eee pc === MindVirus1 is now known as MindVirus [22:47] Omen_20: compiz can make the WHOLE window of any x application transparent [22:47] Omen_20: if you know the right key/mouse combination for it [22:47] tarzeau, yeah I dont want to use anything tacked on. I was looking for a supported way like how panels have it built in. [22:47] where's the md5 checksum for 10.10 ? [22:48] okkkkk i guess i'll go ahead with installing the i386 version, i can't wait to download the other one anyways [22:48] chalcedny: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/MD5SUMS [22:48] Robinux: this is not windows, most stuff is native 64bit [22:48] Robinux, 64 bit is fine, been great [22:48] chalcedny, or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [22:48] hi all, when installing ubuntu 10.10, I notice the option for "install to largest free space" has been removed. Im using a laptop which i have reserved a 40gb partition primarily for ubuntu, but im not sure how I can simply choose the partition in the installer [22:48] ty much trism and ZykoticK9 [22:48] hi all [22:48] <_CommandeR_> Ok guys got an issue, when using +4096MB i get value out of range in fdisk [22:49] Must I used the advanced option and decide a swap partition for myself, or is there an option to simply use a specified partition? [22:49] my ubuntu isnt finding any update?is it weird?? [22:49] hello. [22:49] bstarek: trying to update from 10.04? === dto1 is now known as dto [22:49] _CommandeR_, you don't have that much space available most likely [22:49] mrnoda: i'd just use a swap file, not a partition [22:49] userdel wont remove other user accounts even with root privs... it shows the error " userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later." [22:49] acicula, no running the regular synpatic updates [22:49] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, i should have 25gb [22:50] bstarek: i guess there just arent any updates then [22:50] acicula, usually i have always have 3 or 4 updates.... [22:50] _CommandeR_, verify using "p" in fdisk [22:50] Guest58331: try fuser -k /etc/gshadow ? [22:50] acicula, possible :) [22:50] Installed Ubuntu LTS last week on a new system. I can't get the system to consistently boot properly. After GRUB, sometimes it starts just fine, other times the screen goes black and then nothing. ? [22:50] one essential, my USB ports don't work with Ubuntu at all no detection, hpnx6325 [22:50] hi [22:50] bstarek: even devs have a slow day [22:50] acicula, well thats fine to me :) [22:50] isai: inconsistent behaviour typically points to a hardware problem [22:50] On an old laptop of mine nx6120 it worked fine [22:50] ati usb drivers === toby is now known as Guest91999 [22:51] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, blocks 83883366 for part1 [22:51] It's a new system, how to test for problems? [22:51] do you people like the ubuntu font? [22:51] tarzeau: it still isnt working [22:51] CCcam rox on ubuntu 10.10 [22:51] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, for second 209158267+ [22:51] acicula, thankss === nertil__ is now known as nertil [22:51] also, once booted everything works fine, not a single problem after that. [22:52] Why i cannot see shared folders in my local network ? [22:52] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, this is a raid array of 2 disk each 150gb so there is 300gb of space and should be 25gb of unpartitioned space [22:52] how can I upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04 server? all the guides say to set Prompt=normal, but I assume that will upgrade me to 10.10 [22:52] isai: see if you get inconsistent behaviour too with 10.10? [22:52] _CommandeR_, ahh sorry - i can't help with RAID stuff. good luck man. [22:52] Hi people, anyone good with bind? Having problems with setting up opendkim [22:52] acicula: Is the difference between LTS and 10.10 really that big? [22:53] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, is there a command to se how mutch is left? [22:53] isai: there's quite some differences yes [22:53] isai: well newer kernel and drivers make it worth trying yeah [22:53] yes it is [22:53] I need some help with bind & opendkim. Can someone take a look at my config files? [22:53] isai: so are they between all releases. the ubuntu/canonical guys do quite some big changes every half a year [22:53] can I enter the console Without using the keyboard? im stuck in gdm as X doesn recognize my keyboard? (the keyboard is working, stuff like functino + Fkey to toggle wifi etc works, and it responds to the keyboard before X is launched) and even if I enter a console during boot (ctrl alt F*) I still get thrown back to gdm when its loaded.. do I need to reboot to fix this? [22:53] tarzeau: it still isnt working [22:54] i love the upgrade problems between gnome releases [22:54] _CommandeR_, when you use "n" for new with defaults what size does it create? use "d" and the partition number to remove it (if you don't want it) - BE CAREFUL with this stuff! [22:54] Guest58331: yeah i heard that. you are telling me the 2nd time already [22:54] * tarzeau shrugs [22:54] Guest58331: if you want i can bake you chocolate cake [22:54] tarzeau: i wasnt sure if you saw it [22:55] I'm already running for development stuff on this new system. I don't want to reinstall and blow that away. There has to be a better way to test hardware problems. [22:55] Guest58331: i saw it. but i don't remember what wasn't working. hehe [22:55] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, it defaults to 4480 [22:55] tarzeau: fuser -k /etc/gshadow didnt work [22:56] Guest58331: you did that as root? [22:56] I need help with bind & opendkim, can someone help? [22:56] c3l: if rebooting fixes it id just do that [22:56] _CommandeR_, blocks? i'm not sure if that would be 4GB? [22:56] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, i guess it is blocks [22:56] dinky: obviously not, since nobody replied on the first time you asked... [22:56] datacrusher, deu treta la [22:56] I just asked this, but got disconnected, so not sure if someone answered: how can I upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04 server? all the guides say to set Prompt=normal, but I assume that will upgrade me to 10.10 [22:56] dinky: i know a bit of bind, but opendkim? no idea what that is [22:56] dinky: thats pretty specific stuff, this might not be the best place to ask [22:56] tarzeau: yes [22:56] <20QAB8U6P> hey im having a problem the bar at the top of my windows is gone so i cant close the windows can anyone help me [22:56] _CommandeR_, which brings me back to my first comment - not enough space most likely === 20QAB8U6P is now known as eath [22:57] tobyjoiner: you have to do 8.10 --> 9.04 --> 9.10 --> 10.04 [22:57] acicula: any idea of a better place? [22:57] ubuntu 10.10 runs a lot slower than 10.04 [22:57] Russo23 [22:57] puke....but thanks =) === daniel__ is now known as Russo [22:57] basix-: is that true? [22:57] acicula: it doesn't. rebooted about 5 times now, trying with external keyboards too.. still nothing [22:57] yea [22:57] dinky: server admin stuff google->forums->mailing lists ? [22:57] basix-: i didn't notice anything like that [22:57] it's as slow as windows now [22:57] should I reinstall ubuntu 10.04 [22:57] robotti^: i don't think so [22:57] netbook* [22:57] robotti^: i woudln't === eath is now known as HGOTYT [22:58] robotti^, not for me - i think basix- experience might be a unique situation [22:58] basix-: which netbook? which video card/driver? [22:58] ZykoticK9: for sure! [22:58] tarzeau: my trackpoint scrolling does not work anymore after update [22:58] HP mini 110-1030NR [22:58] the bars on my windows arent showing up anyone know how to fix it? [22:58] it were working very well on ubuntu 10.04 [22:58] especially loading software center [22:58] before it was a snap in 10.04 for me [22:59] thanks erUSUL [22:59] so something is broken in that part of it [22:59] i was very impressed compared to windows [22:59] HGOTYT: your wm crashed, open a terminal and type metacity --replace & or just reboot [22:59] tarzeau: still there? [22:59] ist possible to send a processes (irssi) to a screen ? [22:59] Guest58331: yeah [22:59] im have good luck with 10.10 thught it is a very custum setup [22:59] HGOTYT, try running "compiz --replace" from alt+f2 (or terminal), if that fails "metacity --replace" [22:59] arcsky: screenshot? or gnu screen? [22:59] arcsky: no you cant do that [22:59] Hello - Ive blacklisted a kernel driver, and than unblacklisted the driver, and now its not showing up - any suggestions? [22:59] ok thx [22:59] tarzeau: kk... so any ideas? [23:00] Guest58331: nope, but when i think back at situations like yours [23:00] thx guys that fixed it! [23:00] arcsky, type "screen" then start irssi -- use ctrl+a+d to detach [23:00] Guest58331: stuff doesn't work. i would install nethack, and play that [23:00] * twinkie_addict waits eagerly for his pizza to finsh cooking [23:00] jMyles: sudo depmod -a and try again? [23:00] Guest58331: it's very funny and a good time killer, and it'll exercise your patience [23:01] well i have open a irssi window and i want it to be online without close it now/not reconnect [23:01] arcsky: did you run it inside gnu screen or not? [23:01] tarzeau: no screen [23:01] hi [23:01] the mana world is good if you a gui [23:01] arcsky: bad luck :) [23:01] to play on linux sucks.. [23:02] am wonder about 10.10 < does multitouch support mac? [23:02] uLinux: bullshit. sauerbraten, bubnbros, jumpnbump, nethack, world of goo, great stuff! [23:02] tarzeau: watch your language, please [23:02] Sudo Depmod -a and restart? [23:02] rww: he said "sucks" [23:02] eternal lands [23:02] tarzeau: two wrongs don't make a right [23:02] dofus [23:02] yagoo, multitouch in ubuntu, if it's supported at all, is very new for sure (be it on mac h/w or pc) [23:02] sucks = not good [23:02] yagoo: ubuntu does do multitouch, wether the new mac does is unsure [23:02] rww: so what. just warning one, and not the other. is shit too! [23:02] i see this- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch#Hardware%20Support [23:02] anyone know why i don't get a dropshadow on my nautilus-elementary menu items [23:03] Is 10.10 more stable than 10.04? [23:03] theres alot of games for linux [23:03] userdel wont remove other user accounts even with root privs... it shows the error " userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later." can anyone else help [23:03] how can I access my drive D that I recently had with windows [23:03] !language | tarzeau [23:03] tarzeau: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:03] I can see it through the GUI [23:03] nmind.. may/maynot.. not exactly sure of the trackpad hardware on here [23:03] but I want to acess it with the command line [23:03] tarzeau: I don't consider "sucks" to be family-unfriendly. I do consider your continued cussing to be. === nadav_ is now known as Nadav [23:03] even for my old box [23:03] twinkie_addict: yeah there is but no good games and to play window$ games on linux.. sucks like i said :p [23:03] anybody with trackpoint? [23:03] uLinux: there's good games for linux too [23:04] make a decent fps game and i will play [23:04] how do install frostwire on ubuntu64? [23:04] racionalist, an LTS version (10.04) is typically more stable then the regular releases (10.10) - as the new releases introduce newer versions of software [23:04] uLinux: sauerbraten? [23:04] bah [23:04] hey guys the "software center" where you find "science and engineering" is that like what comes with GNOME only? or it comes in any ubuntu like in kubuntu for example? [23:04] you can play Minecraft on Linux! [23:04] yup [23:04] ZykoticK9 That means I should stick with 10.04 if I want more stability? [23:04] yeah and sudoku -.- [23:05] racionalist, yes [23:05] Robinux: all the packages come with any linux system that has .deb packages [23:05] Robinux: Generally, you can run any program on any desktop environment, it just might not look perfect [23:05] racionalist, the whole point of LTS is largely for stability [23:05] oh ok [23:05] Robinux: I believe Software Centre shows software meant for any [23:05] racionalist, and it should just keen getting more and more stable over time [23:06] Are there any ease space savers for / so that I can update from beta to hardy final? [23:06] userdel wont remove other user accounts even with root privs... it shows the error " userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later." can anyone else help [23:06] racionalist: as well as being supported by security updates [23:06] well waw you guys i'm so glad i decided to try out ubuntu i just LOVE LOVE LOVE the "science and engineering" department lol its amazing [23:06] sooooo helpfull [23:06] Robinux: which applications exactly? [23:06] i think i'll download x64ubuntu and install it tomorrow [23:06] Robinux, u install it right now u sob! ;p [23:07] i didn't install i just clicked [23:07] "try cd" [23:07] Robinux: Yeah, but I'm waiting to see an ubuntu distro similar to mandrake FEL [23:07] and it was in "ubuntu softar center" [23:07] yagoo very funny mate [23:07] Lars_G, mandrak doesnt exist [23:07] lars_g: got no idea, i'm new to linux [23:07] Lars_G, you sure don't know its called mandriva now.. [23:08] it does they just call it mandrivia now [23:08] haha [23:08] uLinux: what about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_xwrr1KFWQ ? [23:08] yagoo: Yeah yeah, old habits die hard [23:09] alright i'm shutting it down, going to the other vm till i install ubuntux64 and make it my #1 linux distro :D [23:09] Robinux: it's a mandriva based distro dedicated to EE [23:09] !ot [23:09] #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! [23:09] Robinux: All you need from PCB cad to VHDL coding [23:09] Robinux, believe it or not.. i actually just finished ubuntux64 in vmware :p [23:09] i thought it was debian based? [23:09] Meh sorry IdleOne [23:09] finished? [23:09] I've just installed a Radeon card. Things seem to be going alright, but DirectDraw surfaces aren't rendering. What's missing? [23:10] Robinux, it's rebooting.. took about 10-15 minutes [23:10] you're kidding === DIFH-iceroot is now known as iceroot [23:10] why vmware when you have vbox? :P [23:10] I guess it'll be sometime before they hack the macbook's multi trackpad.. [23:10] 10-15 minutes to install? yahoo? [23:10] Robinux, yep.. [23:11] Robinux, vbox is good too.. haven't tried it on vbox [23:11] i guess thats ok, about the same it took for debian to finish i think [23:11] Robinux, not keeping track of time.. i'd say about 8-10 minutes ... [23:11] well its free too [23:11] :D [23:11] Ubuntu Desktop installs are faster than Ubuntu Alternate and Debian installs. [23:11] I have Windows Vista and Ubuntu on the same machine. Is there any way I can actively switch between ubuntu and my already-installed windows? [23:11] 10 min after download for me to was running cli only install then added stuff later [23:11] and their irc channel is helpful :D [23:11] rww: i disagree [23:11] Ubiquity copies a disk image to the hard disk, whereas debian-installer (which Ubuntu Alternate also uses) installs the packages manually. so... [23:12] Robinux, -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch#Hardware%20Support [23:12] apparently doesnt look like macbooks trackpads are ready :/ [23:12] tarzeau: Okay. You have some very weird hardware or aren't installing comparable packagesets between the two, then. [23:12] rww: from cd to harddisk? filesystem of choice? [23:12] Robinux, am looking forward to see what multitouch can do ubuntu.. [23:12] Did anyonw see my question? [23:13] rww: so this disk image thing is new w/ 10.10? we're mostly doing netboot/netinstalls (gbit connected to local mirrors, same packageset) [23:13] Mariojinx, ? how is ubuntu installed? [23:13] rww: preferably to xfs [23:13] tarzeau: no, it's been like that for a while [23:13] yagoo: Ubuntu is installed by GRUB duelboot. [23:13] rww: then i didn't notice anything of the speedup with 10.04 (or it only works in some circumstances) [23:14] rww: the netboot/netinstaller downloads package by package and unpacks it [23:14] tarzeau: netboots and netinstalls don't use Ubiquity. === root is now known as Guest3119 === guillaume is now known as Yoms [23:14] Mariojinx, well u can add 2-3 lines to your grub config.. your config syntax depends if u use grub v1 or v2.. [23:14] what's kde's package called? [23:14] rww: can i use ubiquity with netboot/netinstall? [23:14] I said the Ubuntu Desktop installer. i.e., the one on the Ubuntu Desktop ISO. i.e., not netboot [23:14] tarzeau: not that I know of [23:14] although now i have a feeling i won't wanna change lmfao i fell for gnome [23:14] i'm too in love :P === nozes_off is now known as nozes [23:15] rww: aha. i'm not going to build in cd-rom drives into 200 computers, then walk from one to another to install ubuntu [23:15] I have a problem installing ubuntu. I've tried several times today, but it keeps stoping at the "who are you part?" saying "Ready when you are..." with the forward button grayed out. This has happened on 2 cd-r, a dvd-rw, and flash drive. I've tried different write speeds, 32-bit and 64-bit. Long post, but any ideas? [23:15] but i just wanted to know what version of kde it would download so i did this in a terminal "apt-cache policy kde" [23:15] yagoo: What r those lines? I'm new. :( [23:15] and it didn't work [23:15] tarzeau: then what I said doesn't apply to you, obviously. [23:15] very nice. i'd like that feature not just on the cd! [23:15] does anyone know how 10.10 does multiple bond devices nowadays? Nothing I fing online is relevany anymore. [23:15] *find [23:15] rww, the new installer, with the partitioning/copying running at the bottom, with the questions regarding keyboard and location on top is brilliant. [23:15] rww: do you have some technical details, how it's done? i mean, what if the target disks are of different sizes, set up with lvm, and xfs (not ext2,3,4) [23:15] I can only bring up 1 bond device, regardless of the max_bonds= value [23:16] ZykoticK9: indeed [23:16] I want to run both my OSes at the same time to switch between them. [23:16] tarzeau: no idea, I haven't looked at the code [23:16] can someone help? there are problematic packages I can't get rid of for the life of me, and they keep haunting me every time I try autoremove etc. [23:16] Kartagis: which packages? [23:17] Robinux, are you using ubunut permanently in the vbox? (there are accelerators for it-- but not sure for ubuntu v10.10) [23:17] hi guys [23:17] tarzeau terresac-ocr or something [23:17] Kartagis: please paste the output of your apt-get [23:17] Kartagis: tesseract? [23:17] ubuntu 10.10 it is, but its just a live-cd [23:17] i have just installed openoffice database from software centre but i cant open it [23:17] I want to run both my OSes at the same time and switch between them. [23:17] tarzeau yea, that [23:18] no response [23:18] Mariojinx, you can't run them at the same time. You can run them only at the same time, if one is virtualized..but it'll run alot slower** (like in vmware or virtualbox) [23:18] yagoo: ubuntu 10.10 it is, but its just a live-cd [23:18] iceroot doing what? trying to remove it? [23:18] ok fixed the problem with not seeing the vol applet by resetting the desktop back to default "rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity" [23:18] how do i upgrade my distro again [23:18] Kartagis: you know the versions of debian/ubuntu are very outdated? [23:18] Kartagis: yes, post the errors [23:18] i already did apt get upgrade [23:19] yagoo: Then is there a way I can integrate the compatibility of Vista with the speed and reliability of ubuntu? [23:19] is it apt-get distro upgradE? [23:19] Robinux, you should check that out.. if u plan on using vbox permanently.. (virtualbox developers may call it "add-on" software for a particular linux-- which installs accelerated drivers for the VM machine) [23:19] !clone [23:19] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:19] having tried more than 4 different ocr packages on linux, that was very disappointing... when seeing what scanner supplied windows ocr software was capable of [23:19] !automate [23:19] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [23:19] !cloning [23:19] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:20] yagoo: Then is there a way I can integrate the compatibility of Vista with the speed and reliability of ubuntu? Right now, either way gives me half of what I want. [23:20] How can I set the dual pane as a default in Nautilus ? [23:20] test34: have you been using norton commander or far, back then? [23:20] Mariojinx, is linux running "natively" or not? Sounds to me I'm talking alien.. [23:21] yagoo: Ubuntu is running on a different partition than Vista. [23:21] I have a problem installing ubuntu. I've tried several times today, but it keeps stoping at the "who are you part?" saying "Ready when you are..." with the forward button grayed out. This has happened on 2 cd-r, a dvd-rw, and flash drive. I've tried different write speeds, 32-bit and 64-bit. [23:21] here to help the linux user [23:21] Mariojinx, you want to share the files? You can mount ntfs-3g under linux.. [23:21] yes yagoo [23:21] zprime_: Your username must be all lowercase. [23:21] :) [23:22] wait whats the search cmd for packages [23:22] I don't understand zprime is all lowercase [23:22] tarzeau, a little, why ? [23:22] iceroot whatever I do, it's trying to install those two packages again [23:22] test34: you know about mc (midnight commander)? [23:22] ubuntu 10.10 don't change much [23:22] Robinux, "apropos package" :p [23:22] test34, looks like it's related to this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608431 see the forum post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435333 [23:22] <`ak> Anybody else make the mistake of upgradingto 10.10 and trying to buy software? [23:23] Is there any way to scale down everything on the screen (not just the dpi of the fonts) so that there is more space on my netbook's screen for things? [23:23] Kartagis: what package? what is the output of apt-get? [23:23] `ak: buy what software? [23:23] <`ak> Sadly Fluendo [23:23] I have a lot of windows cut off by the gnome-panel because the screen isn't very tall [23:23] <`ak> i only updated to 10.10 for that purpose [23:23] yagoo: I know. I want to have all my games, audio creation softwares, and anything else I may encounter to run on ubuntu. [23:23] yagoo: apropos searches man pages for relevant (already installed) commands. [23:23] chromium or chrome? [23:23] tarzeau, I tried that one too.. did they come out with a X gui ? [23:23] if you have a netbook some_person ubuntu have a version for netbooks [23:23] <`ak> but the associated links are 401's [23:24] test34: no, and i'm glad they haven't :) [23:24] Robinux: apt-cache search foo [23:24] ady01: I know, but I don't like the interface used on that version [23:24] lol [23:24] test34: why would you want an X version? [23:24] <`ak> so of course, now my apt repositories are screwed [23:24] Mariojinx, you can't. There is a project called wine which can run a limitted number of windows applications more or less natively.. [23:24] thanks ZykoticK9 sounds like it [23:24] iceroot tesseract-ocr and tesseract-ocr-eng. apt-get proceeds normally then just hangs [23:24] Kartagis: without details... [23:24] Jordan_U: you da man! [23:24] <`ak> i can confirm that there is no net connection, not proxy, other repos work - but oddly enough NOT the ones I paid for [23:24] Mariojinx, if you need windows for gaming then obviously you can't get rid of it.. [23:25] you cant scale down the norm version on netbooks some_person [23:25] :p [23:25] tarzeau, can use ssh with mc? [23:25] test34: yes [23:25] iceroot huh? I gave you details [23:25] <`ak> Dual-boot windows/ubuntu is good for games [23:25] Kartagis: i cant see a pastebin-entry [23:25] test34: you can also use x apps over ssh, but they might not be that fast [23:25] tarzeau, I'll give it another try then [23:25] <`ak> wine gaming kinda sux [23:25] Mariojinx, unless that game has been ported to linux.. like urbanterror :p [23:25] `ak: full ack! [23:25] yagoo: I know, but I want to know if there is a way I can use my apps on a lower level than wine. [23:25] ady01: Well then somebody should add that feature [23:25] halo [23:25] How can one uninstall the indicator-applett without uninstalling and removing the right most usermenu on the gnome panel called session. [23:25] `ak: but there's native games, that are nice to play [23:25] iceroot apt-get doesn't produce an error. it just hangs [23:25] I can not set permissions for usb how to do it [23:25] tarzeau, I dont mean using it over ssh, I mean accessing an ssh directory with it [23:26] hmmm. how come ipod syncing is so difficult on ubuntu [23:26] Mariojinx, you need a good computer.. Virtualbox can do it. [23:26] <`ak> tarzeau - Totally agree! [23:26] Kartagis: dpkg --configure -a is doing what? [23:26] <`ak> but if you're playing windows games, dual boot is simply a better game experience [23:26] some_person netbooks where designed to be cut down versions of notebooks so they are 'minimalistic' [23:26] iceroot and I can't get rid of it for the life of me [23:26] Mariojinx, but everything inside will run slower.. [23:26] basix-: Because Apple refuses to do anything standard [23:26] yagoo: I have an Acer Aspire M3641... 2 years old... [23:26] Kartagis: and aptitude is doing the same? [23:26] test34: hm... dunno, i never need that. ssh fuse mounts were not very fast, nor stable when i tried [23:26] iceroot yea [23:26] Mariojinx, but everything inside will run slower.. << not for gaming. [23:27] is there anything better than rhythm, gtkpod? [23:27] <`ak> amarok 1.4 ;) [23:27] mtx_init: if you remove the indicator-applet-session menu from the panel, it will add most of the menu options there to the System menu (Lock/Log Out/Shutdown) [23:27] ady01: In form factor and processing power, sure, but usability and software too? [23:27] basix-, i've seen songbird but their libraries are not community standardized... === themill_ is now known as themill === Bananaburger` is now known as Bananaburger [23:27] yagoo: It's not just applications, my Vista installation is screwy. My internet connection is half that of Ubuntu. <<1.0MB [23:27] yagoo: It's not just applications, my Vista installation is screwy. My internet connection is half that of Ubuntu. <<1.0MB per second [23:27] yep afriad so some_person [23:27] why some folders are colored green? === XuMuK_ is now known as XuMuK [23:27] in ubunutu console [23:27] iceroot maybe I should upgrade to maverick then try doing what I am trying? [23:27] I have an Ubuntu VPS, which has root logins disabled, i use a user account to log in which is a sudoer, and whenver i need to do a lot of messing around i simply change to root using `su root`. Is this the generally recommended way? [23:27] <`ak> Mariojinx even less then 1MB should be ok for most games [23:27] yagoo, what's do you mean community standardized? [23:27] Mariojinx, so re-intstall a new vista.. what can i say.. [23:28] trism: I want it there though, like it as always been. what a dumb move making that menu dependent on indicator-aplett [23:28] does amarok work on gnome? [23:28] Mariojinx, then you'll just have to rerun grub-install .. with the ubuntu rescue cd.. [23:28] tarzeau, with nautilus you can use sftp and easily transfer files to localhost.. I'll check to see if thats possible with "mc" [23:28] <`ak> su root = bad ubutu juju [23:28] basix-: sure [23:28] Why some folders in ubuntu console have their background color green? just wondering [23:28] Kartagis: any output of "sudo dpkg -l | grep -v ii" ? [23:28] Nadav, green mean the directory is world writable [23:28] <`ak> but, being an old hand - i still do it to half of my systems [23:28] yagoo: How will I run my Vista partition as an image, then? [23:28] mtx_init: actually it was always in the System menu until recent versions, when it moved, it has always been part of the indicator-applet-session [23:28] netbooks are just designed to be used as 'mobile' internet/email etc devices some_person so they only have limited hardware [23:28] <`ak> but really forcing SUDO is a much better way to manage access etc [23:29] Nadav, you can use "ls -l" to see the permissions [23:29] basix-: clementine is better than modern amarok [23:29] <`ak> and the first time you accidentally hit enter instead of tab when typing rm -rf : you'll be glad you weren't root [23:29] Mariojinx, back up your data. sounds like you're telling me you have a virus.. I won't fix that on your windows.. [23:29] ah [23:29] it m eans everyone can r/w [23:29] ? [23:29] `ak: so what would u suggest? [23:29] trism: 10.10 is the first where it has been with indicator applet [23:29] iceroot http://pastebin.com/PmALbMe9 [23:29] <`ak> Why do you need to be root for the moment? [23:30] <`ak> sadly, some software simply wants you to be root [23:30] trism: the rest it has been its own panel applett. [23:30] ady01: So you are basically telling me that I shouldn't try to run a mainstream OS on it? [23:30] Kartagis: apt-cache policy tesseract-ocr-eng [23:30] Some_Person, we only trust #topic. [23:30] <`ak> personally - after a year of trying I've gotten used to prepending everything with sudo [23:30] Some_Person, you want something else? go #there :p [23:30] `ak: i am trying to set up apache, and dont have to keep sudoing for the smallest thing [23:30] yagoo: I just want to run Virtual Box where it boots up a partition. How will I run my Vista partition as an image? [23:30] mtx_init: not true, but I don't really want to argue about this, you could try removing indicator-me if you don't want the other part of indicator-applet-session, don't know if that will work though [23:30] I have a problem installing ubuntu. I've tried several times today, but it keeps stoping at the "who are you part?" saying "Ready when you are..." with the forward button grayed out. This has happened on 2 cd-r, a dvd-rw, and flash drive. I've tried different write speeds, 32-bit and 64-bit. [23:30] <`ak> or - if I have an install that really wants to be root - I enable it, then disable afterwards [23:30] <`ak> gilaniali - is it a personal system? [23:30] you can some_person but dont expect full functionality [23:31] `ak: yup, a private vps [23:31] yagoo: I don't have a virus, I'm right now using linux. :\ [23:31] <`ak> then do what makes you happy in the end [23:31] <`ak> that is the trade off [23:31] <`ak> sudo minimizes the chance you'll do a system wide mistake [23:31] ady01: Perhaps more limiting in my case is the fact that this netbook has no hard drive. I have ubuntu installed to an SD card [23:31] if you dont want to sudo constantly use sudo su to get a root prompt. [23:31] <`ak> the other option, install apache as it's own user [23:31] thats why ubuntu & even windows have cut doen versions for netbooks some_person [23:31] <`ak> apply all the proper rights [23:31] <`ak> then su to that user [23:31] ady01: Windows has a netbook edition? [23:31] no [23:31] Mariojinx, your VirtualBox question is best asked in #vbox you can see the RAW partition instructions (notice the WARNING!) at http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk [23:31] zprime_, did u try usbstick? === nibbler__ is now known as nibbier [23:32] <`ak> then all apache stuff won't need sudo - but you still can't hose your root file sysstem or other sensitive places [23:32] trism: I have uninstalled indicator* since its inception and that menu has never gone away, just the rest of the crap with it. So it must have not been dependant on indicator or it would have been removed. [23:32] they do some_person its called windows 7 starter [23:32] Yes [23:32] <_Valantis_> hi [23:32] thats for netbooks some_person [23:32] <`ak> However, I always compile my own apache's so it's easy - not sure what the ubuntu apache's look like when done from repo [23:32] Zykotic9: let me check that link... [23:32] The usb wouldn't ever load all the way though [23:32] !tab > Mariojinx [23:32] Mariojinx, please see my private message [23:32] <_Valantis_> i need some help with a driver for a USB VIDEO IN its avermedia EZmaker usb [23:33] zprime_, so i'd look at bios settings.. is your hd using what? ide/ahci ? [23:33] grr how the heck can i continue using linux without a good ipod sync? === christian is now known as Guest85965 [23:33] Zykoti9: let me check that link... [23:33] Damn it, double post. === Guest85965 is now known as Mobidoy [23:34] Mariojinx, you told me that ubuntu was on its own partition. [23:34] i don't know how do I find that [23:34] ZykoticK9, ^ to Mariojinx [23:34] hello everyone. I have a dlink dwa 556 card that has a atheros 5008 chipset. How can I install drivers for this? It doesn't even show up in lspci. [23:34] mtx_init: you could likewise remove it all and add shutdown and logout applet buttons in its place [23:34] I installed gparted but when I run it , it crashes [23:35] i can't even upload a new song to my ipod with any of these applications? [23:35] ady01: Windows 7 Starter Edition = silly, in my opinion. Why would anyone even think of producing an OS where you cannot even change the desktop background? [23:35] how do I install my kernel sources [23:35] yagoo: Yes, but I want to run a different partition from my current one in a VM area. [23:35] trism: I could, but then the fancy menu is not there and I like it there. I guess I will just deal with it [23:35] I'm using 10.10 [23:35] Mariojinx, that's pretty useless.. === patrick is now known as Guest37938 [23:36] Mariojinx, you can use a gparted live cd in the VM and resize the linux partition.. [23:36] n-ice, "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" [23:36] I figured out how to find that out and I don't have ANY o.s. installed right now [23:36] ZykoticK9: thanks! [23:36] I cleared my hard drive sure that the installation disc would work [23:36] oops. i meant a ar5418 chipset. [23:36] yagoo: your missing the point. I want to be able to run Vista in a different partition from my seperate Ubuntu distro. [23:36] netbooks are not full notebooks some_person there just cut down versions - very portable etc but very limited hardware, even the processor is cut down, they use 'atom' or simlar which are like mobile phone processors [23:37] I need some help with grub and sound in linux [23:37] I'm running off of the live disc right now [23:37] 'ak why do you need to recompile apache [23:37] Mariojinx, I asked what was native. You reply was about having another partition. You've lost me since. [23:37] My headphones don't work on ubuntu, and I need to delete grub entries and see if I can update it [23:37] yagoo: your missing the point. I want to be able to run Vista in a different partition from my seperate Ubuntu distro. < Why does dd doesnt work with windows xp ISO? [23:38] I just downloaded utorrent for linux, how do I install tar.gz files? sorry for the newbieness [23:38] <_Valantis_> i need some help with a driver for a USB VIDEO IN its avermedia EZmaker usb :P ...

Like the red background on terminals? [23:38] some_person netbooks are popular but there not full notebooks - they are just designed for portablility [23:38] What's the equivalent of grub's menu.lst on the latest ubuntu distributions? [23:39] Nadav: What's wrong with the Free clients? [23:39] !grub2 | askhader [23:39] askhader: 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 [23:39] <_Valantis_> i think u have something against netbooks :P [23:39] or could tell me where those settings are stored so I can modify em? I want to save these settings so I can share em with my laptop and friends. [23:39] Mariojinx, you want to run windows and ubuntu at the same time? if you need windows programs to work, check if they are compatible with wine in wine's appdb [23:39] Ady01 my netbook wants to disagree with you [23:39] Jordan_U, what free clients? [23:39] askhader, see the !grub2 link - but the main file is /etc/default/grub [23:39] I know how to use virtualbox. I want to use virtualbox on a partition, not an image.

[23:40] Mariojinx read the vbox site and be aware that doing this will bork your windows install for normal use [23:41] what's ubuntu 10.04 kernel? [23:41] and why does it matter that you're using a different partition instead of an image file? [23:41] aha [23:41] I did not know that Jordan_U , thanks [23:41] n-ice: 2.6.32 [23:41] Thanks. I'll try it. [23:41] Nadav: You're welcome. [23:41] no confusion at all airtonix - netbooks are good but they have & always been designed to be cut down versions of notebooks [23:41] I need some help getting my headphones working in linux [23:41] Tokumei, because the method to access the oartition requires extra steps [23:42] n-ice, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+10.04+kernel&l=1 [23:42] I installed gparted but when I run it , it crashes. Why? [23:42] exit [23:42] nerdy3_141592 can i help you [23:43] sure [23:43] Speaking of netbooks... Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the icon size in the launcher in the netbook version of Lucid? [23:43] Tokumei: don't use lmgtfy links here, please. Link to the useful page you found on Google, and feel free to politely mention that's where you found it. [23:43] rww, aw, fine :/ === BeeThoveN is now known as V [23:43] nerdy3_141592 are you getting no sound at all [23:44] I recently upgraded to Maverick, in this toshiba satellite L645D, but sound won't come out of the headphones jack! can anyone help me here? [23:44] some things are best found out with a simple 5-second google search [23:44] ady [23:45] ady01 I get sound but it won't send any to my headphones [23:45] Tokumei: Some things, but not all. I've not found out how to adjust the icon size in the Lucid launcher, for example [23:45] so are you getting sound from speakers then nerdy3_141592 ? [23:45] when looking in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers I have 2 options for nvidia.. 173 and "Current Version".. the Current version is running.. but how do I verify *which* version it is? either gui or cli [23:46] yes [23:46] Da_Wrecka: well, of course not all. but something as simple as what kernel 10.04 uses, certainly. === james is now known as Guest51476 [23:47] you should only ask people things if you've already tried finding out yourself [23:47] 5 seconds of research time isnt unreasonable [23:47] Yeah, on that we can agree [23:47] i try running sudo usrdel zakk and I keep getting "userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later." [23:47] <_Valantis_> hello can any one help install my hardware ? [23:47] <_Valantis_> i need some help with a driver for a USB VIDEO IN its avermedia EZmaker usb :P ... [23:47] Although at the same time, it's entirely possible that you'll find the answer to one question while looking for something else [23:48] Da_Wrecka, like i said, not for something as simple as "which kernel" [23:48] I recently upgraded to Maverick, in this toshiba satellite L645D, but sound won't come out of the headphones jack! can anyone help me here? [23:48] I found out why movies wouldn't play for me sometimes while trying to find out how to use multi-monitor in Xfce, for example [23:48] <_Valantis_> its this one: http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=188 === mr_orange is now known as mr_orange_ [23:49] is Wine the best windows emulator for ubuntu? [23:49] and if doing research helps you solve other problems as well, all the more reason to use google [23:49] basix-, Wine Is Not an Emulator [23:49] (still haven't figured out how to get multi-monitor in Xfce. If not for that I think I'd be using Xfce instead of GNOME all the time) [23:49] basix-: yes [23:49] lol, i just had to do that :p [23:49] what is it considered? [23:49] What did i just hear? [23:49] Wine Is'nt aN Emulator [23:49] Wine? Emulator? [23:49] rww, thx [23:50] Wine is noat an Emulator :p [23:50] basix-, for emulator use virtual box or parallels or vmware [23:50] *not [23:50] ok [23:50] ;) [23:50] basix-, it's just a compatibility layer or interpreter or whatnot. it makes windows programs compatible with linux. you dont have to worry about all those technical details though, i was just teasing. [23:50] basix if you really must run windows exe's use a decent virtualisation software [23:50] lol k [23:50] technically, an emulator is like a "virtual computer" [23:50] ady01, just to run itunes [23:50] k :) [23:50] Kinda [23:51] wine doesnt do that, it just lets you run windows programs natively and directly on your computer, without any emulation [23:51] basix-, why do you need itunes? [23:51] ha [23:51] btw,why do you want to use itunes? [23:51] Wine is useful for certain Windows apps under Linux though, when your system can't handle virtualisation. [23:51] lol [23:51] * Tokumei hates itunes D: [23:51] wine is more of an api translator or something [23:51] cuz i can't add any mp3s to my ipod [23:51] try banshee basix - just the same and will connect to ipod /iphone etc [23:51] I quite like being able to play Diablo 2 on my Ubuntu netbook :) [23:51] * islam loves IRC [23:52] Or PVZ [23:52] hi. My dbus-daemon seems to be leaking memory (using 870m right now and growing). Any known issues with it? [23:52] <_Valantis_> hehehehe Diablo2 :P [23:52] wish I could use the high-res patch with D2, but it doesn't work with the latest version [23:52] _Valantis_: Quiet you [23:52] i installed tightvncserver through the aptitude program, how do I configure it? [23:52] I'm talking about a netbook, it can't handle anything newer. [23:52] sound won't come out of the headphones jack. help please? [23:52] basix-, next time you'll know not to buy an ipod [23:52] ady01, ok i'll check it out [23:52] <_Valantis_> Diablo2 is nice [23:52] test34, what will i plug into my bose speaker?! [23:52] <_Valantis_> i have a friend crazy about diablo [23:52] islam, quite atheistic viewpoint coming from your name :p.. itunes is needed for proper ipod transfers [23:53] if you really must run itunes basix use sun virtual box and run windows in linux [23:53] My MP3 player is a six-year-old Creative Zen Touch. [23:53] basix-, another brand mp3 player [23:53] i installed tightvncserver through the aptitude program, how do I configure it? I cant find it for some reason [23:53] Rhythmbox is good for your Ipod [23:53] twenty gigs of storage space and it cost me ten quid on Ebay [23:53] i don't think you can plug other mp3 players into it [23:53] my sound keeps going out [23:53] Nadav, use nx (from nomachine.com gpl available) .. so much better [23:53] Well it worked for Ios 3.XX [23:53] is it a pain in the butt to install wine and itunes? [23:53] basix-, do you use the 1/8 audio plug? [23:53] yagoo, right now I have to use it [23:53] any idea? [23:53] banshee can sync with ipod cant it? why would you need itunes? [23:54] cuz all of linux's ipod compatible programs don't work for me [23:54] basix-: Installing Wine is easy. You just use sudo apt-get install wine [23:54] Nadav, you mean you're setting it up.. the server side or the client side? [23:54] @yagoo well aplle wants you to use itunes ;) [23:54] basix the web site for banshee is http://banshee.fm/ [23:54] *apple === uLinux is now known as uLiNUX [23:54] iTunes, well... Why the hell would you want it, first of all [23:54] k thx [23:54] I need to set the server side at my computer [23:54] I cant find it tho [23:54] hey, why isnt banshee just the default music manager in ubuntu anyway? why rythmbox? [23:54] There are so many less craptastic ways to sync your MP3 player [23:54] Nadav, I tell everyone to stop using vnc.. I stopped using it 3 years ago... [23:54] test34, the ipod docks right into the speaker [23:54] Nadav, nx is catching on as its replacement.. [23:54] okay, on Windows you're stuck with iTunes, but Linux, you've got a lot more options [23:54] there is no other input .. i dont think? [23:55] hi tokumei they dont include it as its not supported by canonical yet [23:55] itunes is slow and their itunes store is overpriced and only in apple's sucky .m4a format [23:55] i would love to never have to buy anything apple [23:55] I will do it when i got time but I must get going [23:55] basix-, actually, apple makes really really wonderful screens. === uLiNUX is now known as GNuLiNUX [23:55] basix-, if your speakers had a 1/8 audio input then you could plug any mp3 player (or any phone) [23:55] Nadav, there's nothing to setup with nx.. it's much easier to setup than vnc.. [23:55] banshee runs everything peeps and works [23:55] sound won't come out of the headphones jack. help please? [23:55] * islam likes Apples [23:55] it's the bose speaker made specifically for ipod :/ [23:56] Nadav, download the .debs for ubuntu (from nomachine.com) then simply dpkg -i *.deb [23:56] k ady01 i'll try banshee [23:56] ady01, why isnt banshee default in ubuntu instead of rythmbox? === islam is now known as WienerWuerstel [23:56] rythmbox seems very inferior [23:56] i try running sudo usrdel zakk and I keep getting "userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later." [23:56] Nadav, make sure openssh is already running.. then client side is too obvious.. [23:56] basix-, sorry for you luck then [23:56] Nadav, (nx runs inside ssh as a subsystem..) [23:56] test34, it's ok i'll figure something out..thx [23:56] Which Ipod do you use basix? [23:56] <_Valantis_> i need some help with a driver for a USB VIDEO IN its avermedia EZmaker usb anyone done anything similar ? [23:57] canonical dont include it in the software list yet tokumei [23:57] Quick, lazy question; What's the command for creating symbolic links? [23:57] Da_Wrecka, apropos links [23:57] ta [23:58] Da_Wrecka: ln -s [23:58] Hello, [23:58] sound won't come out of the headphones jack. help please? [23:58] Da_Wrecka: ln -s /where/link/goes/to /optional/location/of/link [23:58] though relative paths are better than absolute if possible [23:58] i try running sudo usrdel zakk and I keep getting "userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later." please someone help [23:58] Okay, thanks all. I just needed the ln though, I'd have pulled up the manpage from there :) [23:58] gholms c-76-17-250-218.hsd1.mn.comcast.net (Idiot...) [23:58] you can install banshee from software scources in ubuntu 9.04 onward basix [23:58] Tokumei: rhythmbox is the default gnome audio player, ubuntu generally sticks with the gnome defaults (I like exaile myself) [23:59] ArtArfon: hrm? [23:59] I recently upgraded to Maverick, in this toshiba satellite L645D, but sound won't come out of the headphones jack! can anyone help me here? [23:59] dont think exalie works with iphones/ipod etc though trism [23:59] If i use dual boot and booted into windows what would be a good way to run ubuntu in a virtual box if possible? while it has its own partition on this hard drive?
