[00:20] so when i ls in the grub rescue menu, i get (hd0) and (hd0,msdos1), but when i try to ls either of them directly like ls (hd0) it says error: uknown filesystem [00:20] <_94_> megan: definetly OpenOffice [00:20] LOL omg did ubottu really say that?

[00:23] kthomas: Uhm, this is the reason I have trouble googling this myself, I can't seem to describe it. Let me put it in a sentence. I use InDesign if I want to create a Magazine - layout and whatnot, composition of stuff then export into a PDF for instance.

Sorry, totally missed it. Thanks, I'll check it out. [00:25] fester: Do you have more than one hard drive? [00:25] why ubuntu waits until all the packages are download instead of installing and downloading in parallel? [00:25] fl0w yes please do, its kinda like pagemaker [00:25] AAaah, Desktop Publishing - that's the word I'm looking for. [00:25] Jordan_U: no [00:25] halo? i have a problem with my touchpad. its not workin in linux nowadays and i have no clue why. its all fine in windows. is this the right place to ask for help? [00:25] bencc: mostly because APT is sort of ancient and wasn't thought with that in mind, i imagine [00:25] snarkster: Many thanks, sincerely. [00:25] nikola: i installed vista first, then ubuntu 10.10 over it, i created a blank partition in windows [00:25] oh great, Firefox under Linux apparently doesn't like pasting into password fields. [00:25] no problem fl0w [00:25] and told ubuntu to use the remaining freespace, it had no problems [00:25] Teach me to use a password that's impossible to memorise. [00:26] hello [00:26] where is scripts/update-initramfs [00:26] LjL: it'll be super cool and speed up stuff [00:26] when i try and log in itkeeps on saying disconnected [00:26] ??

[00:27] fester, i dont get it, do you still have vista or not? [00:27] bencc: It could be difficult to determine when it can start installing packages while being certain that losing internet connection won't leave you in a bad state. [00:27] nikola: it's on a different partition, yes [00:27] when i try and log in itkeeps on saying disconnected [00:27] why? [00:27] fester, what version of ubuntu are you installing? [00:28] 10.10 [00:28] oh my mistake. Apparently the copy part of copy&paste didn't take.

She's slow but usable. [00:30] how can i fix that? [00:30] LjL: already installed, but "No manual entry for math.h" [00:30] fester: (hd0) is the drive, not a partition (like /dev/sda vs /dev/sda1). [00:31] fester: Can you run "set" in the rescue shell and tell me what the value for $prefix is? [00:31] Jordan_U: sure [00:31] has anyone got an intel 82598eb 10gb ethernet working in 10.10? [00:31] HaPK_PerCar: same problem here on a satellite, speakers work,,, no output at ear jack..... do you happen to have a backlight keyboard... that actually lights?

I have an Intel Core 2 duo processor, so... [00:32] megan: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+can+I+change+my+password+in+ubuntu+10.10 [00:33] fester: My first guess is that you have an invalid partition table (overlapping partitions). [00:33] LjL yeah I just wanted an overview of all the different functions in it. weird because it does exist. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man7/math.h.7posix.html looks like it may be a part of manpages-posix, will try that [00:33] Jordan_U: will do [00:33] davidov009: You can't upgrade between architectures, you'd need to reinstall [00:33] HaPK_PerCar: the 5 seconds of googling referenced above... works fine for the folks with intel/windows machines... but nothing has worked for getting ear jack sound for me.... satellite with All AMD components. :( [00:33] ubuntu keeps asking me to unlock the default keyring at startup.

I'm trying to install linpopup from the repositories,but it seems not exists anymore [00:48] Jordan_U: sure, 1 min [00:48] Wireless N is not working on my Ubuntu 10.10. The laptop with Wifi N works on Windows, but on Ubuntu only setting the router to Wifi G works. Any ideas? [00:48] Ryen: I am trying to find a setting in ubuntu 10.10 to set the processor cores on an Intel Core 2 duo T8300 processor to set themselves to on demand instead of starting up at high performance setting. [00:48] I would say this in the off-topic area, but no-one else is there...... so has anyone else seen the last message in the installer's status bar for 10.10? [00:49] davidov009: There is a thing you can add to a panel called "CPU..." something. [00:49] If I remember correctly it saves the last state? [00:49] RRU_Sciguy, what is the problem with the message ? [00:49] I have no used it in forever. [00:49] davidov009: has your hostname changed? [00:49] davidov009: also is it dhcp? [00:50] leave it to windows to wipe my grub..... even on a separate physical HD! [00:50] Yes, I have added that. But the processors start up as high performance. And, I switch them to on demand everytime i boot. [00:50] now I can't boot linux, so I made a DSL live USB [00:50] apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will install kde on my ubuntu installation? or is there another way of just installing kde? [00:50] kevin_: the kde-full package. [00:50] Also in the Software Center KDE Plasma something. [00:51] now DSL is booted but not seeing my HDs! sudo fdisk -l only lists the USB drive I have currently booted from [00:51] Jordan_U: Package grub-emu is not available, but is referred to by another package. [00:51] Jordan_U: i ran a sudo apt-get update first [00:51] Der, no problem, im just saying this here b/c no one else is in the off topic area, but the lase message is "Reticulating splines", like from the SimCity games :) [00:51] fester: what is dhcp? [00:51] thank you NickWebHA [00:51] OK, this CIFS permissioning issue is driving me up the wall. [00:51] davidov009: it gives you your ip automatically [00:52] hmmm getting futex_wait when trying to open evolution [00:52] Fester: Yes. [00:52] fester: You need to enable universe. [00:52] hey pure_hate [00:52] Jordan_U: ah, where is the list i forget [00:52] found it nm [00:53] NickWebHA, then I can choose between KDE and Gnome when login in if I install kde-full right? [00:53] Hi I'm trying to replace my on-board video with a video card, I set bios to use the pci card but when ubuntu tries to boot (Even in recovery mode) it kernel panics [00:53] any ideas? [00:53] Yes. [00:53] hi people [00:53] awesome, thank you [00:53] does anyone know how to enable pae so i can use all 8 gigs of ram, ubuntu 10.04 [00:53] grr, vim isn't installed on ubuntu [00:53] I made an .ido image with all my pakages using aptoncd, how do I install them? [00:53] any reason why a damm small linux boot usb I made won't see my installed Ubuntu drive? Even sudo fdisk -l won't list my HDs! [00:54] i know it works i was using it earlier but i reinstalled and dont remember how to enable it [00:54] glitchd: I think the kernel needs it compiled in as opposed to simply enabling it. [00:54] Sivarts: How much do you have invested in this install? Could you easily back up and re-install Ubuntu with the new graphics card installed? [00:54] charliehorse55: Have the drivers all setup? Perhaps the hard drives are SATA and that distro does not load SATA by default? [00:55] fester: Well, vim-full isn't. But "vi" is actually a minimal vim install. [00:55] charliehorse55 yea it's pratically a fresh install [00:55] well i dont know about that, i had it installed earlier today and i was using 7.7 gigs of ram, then i decided to give 10.10 a try, didnt like it so i reinstall 10.04 and i dont remember how to enable it [00:55] Sivarts: reinstalling is pretty fast so I'd try that [00:55] !pae | glitchd [00:55] glitchd: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [00:55] ok, I have to say nVidia regressing to unusable xterms in maverick is ridiculous. [00:55] glitchd: Why not install 64 bit Ubuntu though? [00:56] Is there no fix for the garbled xterm displays? (vertical lines left behind where the cursor used to be, striking through the letters) [00:56] mbeierl, it has worked fine for me on my old desktop [00:56] NickWebHA: I didn't think of that, I thought SATA drivers would be a pretty basic thing to have on a Boot USB. I guess I'll try a different live distro. Know anything good that will run on a 512 MB USB? I just need to re-install grub2 onto my linux HD. [00:56] RRU_Sciguy: what nvidia card? [00:56] mbeierl, uh, hold on, ill boot it up and see.... [00:56] RRU_Sciguy: and it also worked fine for me on Lucid. [00:57] Jordan_U, i just dont like the way it works [00:57] Jordan_U, i tried it in the last few days, and i just didnt like it [00:57] Jordan_U: hmm, do i need a chroot environment? [00:57] RRU_Sciguy: mine is Quadro NVS 135M [00:57] fester: No. [00:57] Jordan_U: it says grub-emu error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub [00:57] fester: Ahh, forgot about that issue. Yes, you will need to chroot. [00:58] ubottu, i installed everything that was on that page and restarted and all my ram is still not enabled [00:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:58] !ubotto [00:58] what else can i do to manage my flash issue? i dont get it. I dont see it in software management. [00:58] charliehorse55: DSL still uses linux 2.4, which has verry poor hardware support. [00:58] !girl [00:58] Girls exist on the internet.

[00:59] whops.. [00:59] glitchd: Did you remove the non-pae kernel? [00:59] Jordan_U: know a good live distro with 2.6 that will fit on a 512 mb USB stick? [01:00] Jordan_U, i dont know how to do that [01:00] !ubotto [01:00] i need help about changing vesa driver to run 1366x768 res [01:00] Jordan_U, im really a noob when it comes to technical linux things [01:00] Jordan_U, i had help from a user here to enable it the first time [01:00] !ubotto |RRU_Sciguy [01:00] When I try to connect to my router set to Wireless N, Ubuntu just keeps trying to connect and asks for the password over and over. But it works just fine on Windows or on Ubuntu when Wireless G is set? [01:00] Jordan_U, but i dont remember what user that was so i cant ask them again [01:01] charliehorse55: Do you have a linux system to install it to the disk, and do you mind whiping it to install? [01:01] * RRU_Sciguy gets pm from ubotto saying "Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotto" [01:01] RRU_Sciguy: that's because it's called ubottu not ubotto [01:01] !ubottu [01:01] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [01:02] Jordan_U: I have no linux up at the moment, I have a macbook ( OSX 10.6.4) and my desktop (Ubuntu 10.04, disabled, Windows 7) and I don't mind wiping to install as I already did that for DSL. [01:02] what would i do to get pae into my current kernel? or where would i find a replacement kernel with pae in it already? [01:03] glitchd: I found this on google. Hope it helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [01:04] charliehorse55: If you can figure out how to use dd in OSX, or write an image to a USB drive from Disk Utility, then you can use Super GRUB2 Disk (it's not a live Distro, but it will let you boot into your Ubuntu system and is only 1.4 meg). === BUGabundo is now known as BUGa_29plus1 [01:04] this is what display looks like now after upgrade to maverick: http://imagebin.ca/img/D7mMNKnw.png [01:04] nice, thanks! [01:04] Loshki, i did that already, then rebooted and still all of it is not enabled [01:04] charliehorse55 when I try to boot the ubuntu installer cd it kernel panics too? [01:04] Loshki, im missing something [01:04] mbeierl, nVidia driver 173.14.28, processor GeForce FX 5200 [01:04] can someone help me with macbook problems? [01:04] Loshki, but idk what it is [01:05] RRU_Sciguy: on maverick? you rolled back to 173? I'll give that a shot, thanks! [01:05] glitchd: sorry, you now know everything I know about the subject :-). Keep asking... [01:05] Loshki, thx anyways [01:06] Sivarts: this is weird... do you have any other OS to test your hardware on? If you just installed a PCI graphics card it could be a hardware problem. Do you have the PCI graphics card firmly seated in the slot, and the power connector installed? [01:06] how do i search for whats going on with flash [01:06] charliehorse55: You're welcome.

Is there an App for Package Repo Syncing? [01:10] subcool, try to search for adobe flash plugin 10 on ubuntu sofware center [01:11] charliehorse55: Yes. From within Ubuntu just run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" (if sda is the drive you want to install to, and make sure you *don't* try to install to a partition). [01:11] So that i have the same Sources on all my PC's [01:11] Jordan_U: Right, got it. Thanks. I'll let you know if this works out.

[01:13] Can someone tell me how to check what driver is being used for my wireless card on Ubuntu? [01:13] glitchd: what do you have against 64 bit linux? [01:14] Look in Additional Drivers sanduz2 [01:14] sanduz2, lshw [01:14] or sysinfo [01:15] thank you Kangarooo [01:15] nikola, nothing comes up- [01:15] I have multiple video files that are about 500mb(I don't know if size matters), I want to know if I can make them to an ISO(if so, how do I do this)?

Why oh why did I upgrade :( [01:15] sanduz2, in terminal also just lshw -C network [01:16] sanduz2, run the command lsmod to see if driver is loaded [01:16] awesome, thank you Kangarooo [01:16] that is impossible subcool , try just write adobe and look for it [01:17] charliehorse55, nothing in general [01:17] charliehorse55, it just wasnt for me [01:17] sanduz2, If you run the iwconfig command do ypu you see wlan0 NOT READY ? [01:17] charliehorse55, maybe i didnt give it enough of a chance, but maybe im jus right [01:17] mbeierl, huh, did you check to see what proprietary drivers there are?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:20] i'm having some problems with config file [01:20] Kangarooo, id love to. i dont know what that is or how to use it =/ [01:20] sanduz2, couse maybe this N speed isnt supported jet to this driver (if ur wifi device can use N speed) [01:20] brama_: whats your question? [01:20] each time i download the adobe plug it on the the youtube page it downloads and it still say i need adobe flash can someone help me [01:20] glitchd: right, this has nothing to do with 64 vs 32 bit linux, just install 64 bit and enjoy the extra ram. Not to mention the big speed increase in some CPU heavy tasks [01:21] sanduz2, just write in terminal ubuntu-bug nm-tool [01:21] if there is a single variable [01:21] my Wifi device can use N speed on Windows, but on Ubuntu it doesnt work. how do i check if the driver supports it? [01:21] charliehorse55, i did that already, i did not like it. [01:21] handling more than one value [01:21] can i access all of those values [01:21] brama_, dont use 10 lines to ask 1 question [01:21] sorry [01:22] sanduz2, if ur not registered then when it will open launchpad site it will ask for registration. launchpad is site where all bugs are tracked and info stored and at end - fixed and ull be notofied about that. [01:22] glitchd: did not like what? 64 bit ubuntu? There isn't really a User interface difference or anything. You can still run 32 bit applications anyways. [01:22] brama_: example? [01:22] cool. is it the package strongswan-nm? [01:22] brama_: Your question is not clear. Could you give some example code? [01:22] is there a command like time which I can run a programm for let me know time, and bytes send/recv from an app? like time dosomething? [01:22] if there is a single variable handling more than one value, can i access all of those values in a script that uses the config [01:22] brama_, do you mean an array? [01:22] it says i need to install the nm-tool package [01:22] can someone help me [01:23] charliehorse55, it just didnt work better for me [01:23] var1=/home var1=/home/user [01:23] charliehorse55, im better off in 32 bit land [01:23] mbeierl, I just opened the driver System>Administration>Additional drivers, and it was there, just clicked "activate", and done [01:23] charliehorse55, with my pae enabled [01:23] not an array [01:23] brama_, I guess you need to grab that first value before it gets overwritten... or use an array to store multiple values [01:24] sanduz2, then ubuntu-bug network-manager [01:24] glitchd: I still don't understand. Bluetooth somehow worked in 32 bit and not 64 bit? [01:24] usually it echoes the last value gicen. but i was wondering if i can access all values mentioned with a single variable [01:24] anyone know when wubi will be updated to support 10.10 ? [01:24] brama_: What are you actually trying to accomplish? It seems like whatever it is you're going about it the wrong way. [01:24] brama_: No, you can't. [01:24] charliehorse55, no it doesnt work in either [01:24] brama_, post your code to www.pastie.org [01:24] Kangarooo, ok that worked. thank you. [01:24] but there was no big speed increase in 64 either [01:25] nah brama_ [01:25] in fact, i believe my 32 bit install with the pae enabled was faster [01:25] especially not in bash [01:25] RRU_Sciguy: I've got the two choices "version 173" and "version current" Neither one help. On the other hand, disabling compiz helps somewhat [01:25] var1 = test [01:25] var1 = newtest [01:25] echoing that out would be the most recent data [01:26] here's the config http://www.pastie.org/1222280 [01:26] Guys.

[01:26] I have multiple video files that are about 500mb(I don't know if size matters), I want to know if I can make them to an ISO(if so, how do I do this)? Once from an ISO, can I convert an ISO to an ISO DVD using Devede? [01:26] glitchd: so what do you have against 64 bit linux then? It will enable you to use 8GB of RAM natively and increase performance in some applications. What's not to like? [01:26] brama: you should probably use: inputdir1, inputdir2, inputdir3 [01:26] What is the name of the font in Ubuntus virtual terminal? [01:27] brama_: is that config file being used by a bash script or something else?

[01:42] hmm [01:43] etrnl: unetbootin [01:43] etrnl: unetbootin? [01:43] etrnl: System > Administratoin > Startup Disk Creator [01:43] or dd if you have a pre-made usb image [01:43] brama_: any luck? [01:43] http://pastebin.com/0gzMKCUb [01:44] interesting [01:44] etrnl: do you want the USB to just recover bootability for an installed system ... or do you want it to be like the install ISO which can install a system? [01:44] could that be it? [01:45] hi. if i boot with live lubuntu cd, does it all the same functionality as an installed lubuntu? [01:45] sensisensi: Basically, yes. [01:45] 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. [01:45] sensisensi: it might run slower [01:45] i want to tether my android phone for wireless on my laptop [01:45] My goal is to write a script that uses a source - the config file that have defined variables. And my problem is that that I got that config file done, and i have to use it in my script for my homework. The config file have several variables but one have more than one value. http://www.pastie.org/1222305 Let's say that this is my config file. Now i'll write dumb script with echoes and expected outputs: http://www.pastie.org/1222312 [01:46] mbeierl, I upgraded on both my desktop (nVidia driver) and my laptop (chipset), no problems on wither [01:46] sensisensi: it could tie up the cd drive and not allow you to rip your music cds [01:46] *either [01:46] Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the icon metrics (specifically size and spacing) in the launcher for Lucid Lynx netbook edition? And if so, how? I haven't been able to find much with Google. [01:47] is there a way i can use the variable values something like $var#1 $var#2 etc. ? [01:47] Hi, has something changed with vlans configuration in 10.10? My vlans get configured but dont move traffic after upgrading to 10.10. [01:47] Is there a command like MS-DOSs dir that gives the total space used by the files in the directory. ls -l doesn't do this. [01:47] thats fine. i just want it to function temporarily. but it is likely to work right? that is tether my android phone with this app for mobile broadband... [01:47] brama_: There is no possible way to use the multiple values from that source script. If you need to do that for your homework then you're just out of luck. [01:47] stercor: du [01:47] brama_: I don't get it. Each time you write to var, you overwrite the previous value. Only the last assignment (var=~/Videos) counts... [01:47] Skaperen: ty [01:48] RRU_Sciguy: unfortunately, I do have problems: http://imagebin.ca/img/D7mMNKnw.png [01:48] Loshki: that IS the problem [01:48] stercor: you might use the -s option with that, too [01:48] stercor: You want the total space used by the files in the directory and all subdirectories? [01:48] What happened to the Compiz Grid function? That was my favorite and now I don't see it after installing Ubuntu 10.10. [01:48] anyway, thank you all for you time and help!! [01:48] cya [01:49] can't you just do something like.. var=test [01:49] if anyone can offer some ssh advice please pvt me [01:49] echo var [01:49] brama_: newer versions of bash have simple arrays: e.g. var[1] [01:49] Da_Wrecka: that would be nice! [01:49] "du -s" will do the whole directory _tree_ ... and not count hardlinked duplicates that don't take more space [01:49] i am upgrading to ubuntu 10.10 and i originally installed with wubi will everything still dual boot the same, and are all my settings gonna still be there? [01:50] anybody here able to help with Compiz settings? [01:50] I have multiple video files that are about 500mb(I don't know if size matters), I want to know if I can make them to an ISO(if so, how do I do this)? Once from an ISO, can I convert an ISO to an ISO DVD using Devede? [01:50] matts45acp: I don't really know the answer to your question... but if your /home directory isn't already on its own partition I recommend not installing Maverick until it is. [01:50] vexati0n: ask in #compiz [01:50] brama, I would use perl to parse all values and display them.. but I won't do it for you (especially since it's your homework) [01:51] * Da_Wrecka did not like Maverick's UI, not one itty-bitty bit [01:51] BentSpace: it's in compiz-fusion-plugins-extra which ubuntu no longer installs by default [01:51] dir is a command; how can I alias du -s to dir? [01:51] when trying to install xbmc i get "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [01:51] " when trying to update the repositories [01:51] stercor: I don't think you want to do that. It might break things. [01:51] matts45acp, i upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 which i installed wubi. but it broke everything. so i would beware [01:51] stercor: if using bash, add this line to your .bashrc file: alias dir='du -s' [01:51] Da_Wrecka: k. [01:51] Da_Wrecka: alias can't break scripts. [01:51] soreau: I see, thank you. [01:52] damnit [01:52] bram [01:52] a [01:52] matts45acp: I bricked my netbook with 10.10 [01:52] stercor: but Da_Wrecka's point is valid ... check what dir does first [01:52] LordDragon: It pulled the same garbage on me with the upgrade using WUBI, guess it needs a little work yet [01:52] stercor: From what I can see, du -s just recurses the current directory, then returns the total disk usage in bytes. [01:52] stercor: that alias might get used by scripts that expect another behavior (more like ls) [01:53] I used 10.04 on my netbook just fine [01:53] oh, .10 [01:53] or: du -s [01:53] derp [01:53] Skaperen: Thanks. I did, and it did. [01:53] area51pilot, yeah i guess so. and now it wont let me reinstall 10.04 either. so i just gotta wait till they update wubi for 10.10 [01:53] So I guess this isn't the best place to try to get ubuntu help? krb5_newrealm isn't prompting for a password... [01:53] stercor: what netbook? [01:53] acer [01:53] stercor: can't get into BIOS? [01:54] when trying to install xbmc i get "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" when trying to update the repositories [01:54] Skaperen: Yes I can do that. [01:54] stercor: I got 10.10 on my netbook without problems. But I already had 10.04, installed via a CD, and used Update Manager to upgrade to 10.10 [01:54] and then regretted it as soon as I saw the new UI [01:54] stercor: then get into BIOS setup and boot from a CD [01:54] Unity == vomit [01:54] Da_Wrecka: Mee, too. [01:54] LordDragon: I just keep my home directory seperated, made it easy and quick to reinstall using WUBI [01:54] Skaperen: I don't have a CD. [01:54] stercor: then a USB memory stick? [01:54] I'm thinking of using a flash drive and... you said it. [01:55] times like that I'm thankful for having invested in a USB DVD drive [01:55] This necessitates a trip to Costco or Wal-Mart or CVS... [01:55] It was pricy, I admit. [01:55] Da_Wrecka: What a thought! [01:55] But it's so much easier than screwing around with flash drives. Particularly since I don't have any. [01:56] All I have is SD cards, and a single 512MB CompactFlash card === sorah_off is now known as sora_h [01:56] Da_Wrecka: u have to be able to boot from the media [01:56] when trying to install xbmc i get "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" when trying to update the repositories how can i fix it? [01:56] crap. I forgot my freenode password again. anyone know who to talk to about that? [01:56] Is it just a matter of what one is used to? [01:56] SD cards will work (I use a 16GB SDHC card with a full installed system on it for my Asus netbook) === derp is now known as {} [01:56] area51pilot: And it also needs to be big enough to accomodate the filesystem. THAT is where I have problems. [01:56] go to #freenode and ask [01:56] doesn't help that the internal SD readers on my netbook aren't bootable for some reason [01:57] Skaperen: SD card = flash drive? [01:57] thx [01:57] Da_Wrecka: yeah....plus room for persistence [01:57] stercor: so no CD drive (USB one since netbooks don't have builtin) or USB flash drive handy ... bummer [01:57] Nah, screw persistence, I'd be using the internal drive for that [01:57] Da_Wrecka: OK ... didnt see the whole scroll [01:57] Skaperen: But I still have my trusty rusty desktop with only Ubuntu on it. [01:57] stercor: yes, an SD card can be used in most machines ... in some they are USB ... in others they are special but BIOS often knows how to boot them anyway [01:58] Yeah, we're mostly just talking about installation [01:58] Skaperen: The Acer Aspire One is apparently not one of those [01:58] stercor: how did you install onto the netbook in the first place? [01:58] Da_Wrecka: Thass what I have. [01:58] the internal SD readers are apparently hot-pluggable PCIe, and I cannot boot from them [01:58] Da_Wrecka: not one in what respect? how is it different (I don't have one) [01:58] The internal SD readers aren't bootable [01:59] If you press F12 to select the media to boot from, they don't even show up [01:59] Da_Wrecka: oh ... hmmm ... in Linux what does the SD come up as for a device name? [01:59] I have a Dell Studio, cant boot from SD [01:59] I have multiple video files that are about 500mb(I don't know if size matters), I want to know if I can make them to an ISO(if so, how do I do this)? Once from an ISO, can I convert an ISO to an ISO DVD using Devede? [01:59] Skaperen: Not sure offhand. One second. [02:00] Da_Wrecka: of course at that point it may be possible to use an external memory card reader that connects via USB [02:00] Skaperen: /dev/mmcblkXp1, the X being either 0 for the left-hand reader or 1 for the right-hand reader. [02:00] Skaperen: Oh yeah, I could do that. [02:00] Skaperen: normally, it is the brand name in /media for example my Lexus card is mounted /media/Lexus or serial number like you've indicated [02:01] Da_Wrecka: cool ... thx for the info [02:01] Da_Wrecka: hmmm ... my Dell laptop at work comes up like that ... but its BIOS does boot from SD ... guess it's a different BIOS [02:01] They may have fixed that with the newer Acer Aspire Ones [02:01] mine is a fairly old model [02:01] the one with the 512MB RAM, Linpus/Linspire/some crud-tastic distro by default, and a craptastic 8GB SSD by default [02:01] bastidrazor: that would be the mount point based on the label or UUID ... the /dev/ name is what is of interest ... as seen in /proc/partitions [02:02] suffice it to say I have fixed all of those issues... [02:02] is there any way to hide the icons on the panel, I don't want to remove them, just hide them, kind of like Window$ XP does [02:02] I've upgraded my AA1 to 1.5GB RAM, (there's only one SODIMM slot) it's got Ubuntu Netbook installed, and I swapped the craptastic 8GB SSD for a 60GB hard disk. [02:02] I just used do-release-upgrade to go from 9.10, to 10.04, then to 10.10. Now that I'm at 10.10, /etc/lsb-releases confirms that I'm at 10.10, but when I login, the MOTD says 10.04.1 LTS. [02:02] My battery life suffers a little, but it's still respectable. [02:02] And the performance boost from the hard disk compared to the SSD is HUGE [02:02] stercor: you need to stock up on USB memory stick flash drives ... I have 7 of them and need more [02:02] MOTD also says "501 packages can be updated." however apt-get upgrade disagrees. [02:02] Skaperen: once you plug in the device look in dmesg. that will tell you how Ubuntu sees it. [02:03] Skaperen: :-) [02:03] bastidrazor: yes, it does ... but in a messy way [02:03] I'm not even kidding, the system booted up in about half the time with the hard disk compared to the SSD [02:03] Is it possible to install i386 packages on 64bit ubuntu? [02:03] that's how awful the SSD is [02:03] Skaperen: i don't see the issue though? you have the information you want.. [02:04] bastidrazor: also, if the device didn't get detected at all, you might see the previous device in dmesg and think it is the new device, and perhaps erase the wrong one ... so I at least do dmesg before and after and compare timestamps if present, or use /proc/partitions [02:04] ryan-c, i'm pretty sure you can. if not, there is a package that you can install that allows you to run 32-bit apps on 64-bit ubuntu [02:04] bastidrazor: I just mount the card in the slot and then use mount with no parameters in a terminal [02:04] i forgot the name of the package though [02:05] It's easy to pick out the SD readers [02:05] hrm. I want to install zsnes on an x86_64 system, but it's not showing up in apt, seems to only be available in i386 [02:05] stercor: I have different versions of 10.10 on 5 of my USB memory sticks ... the red one has u-i386 ... green one has u-amd64 ... purple one has ku-i386 ... blue one has ku-amd64 ... cyan one has u-netbook-i386 [02:05] Chrome on a crutch, Skaperen, why do you need that many?! [02:06] Can anyone help me fix my flash for my broswers? somethign is messsed up and idk what [02:06] Da_Wrecka: all my SD readers at home come up like any SATA/SCSI/USB drive does [02:06] Skaperen: Like /dev/sdX or something similar? [02:07] One second, let me hook up the USB card reader and see what I get there [02:07] Da_Wrecka: just to have choice handy ... like why do people need to have 10000 hours of MP3s [02:07] subcool, dont ask to ask. just explain your situation and maybe someone can help [02:07] Anyone with a decent way to turn python code -> nicely formatted PDF with syntax highlighting? [02:07] I need xvid and mp3 codes, where can I get those? [02:07] er, codecs [02:07] Da_Wrecka: I loan them out at work sometimes, for example ... I suppose I don't really need the Kubuntu ones since only one person at work likes it [02:08] AHemlocksLie - be sure to install ubuntu-restricted-codecs and also ... [02:08] question, anyone know of some software to diagnose failing hardware? [02:08] I believe it's gstreamer ugly or it may be bad, search for it in software center - AHemlocksLie [02:08] Skaperen: the card in my USB reader comes up as /dev/sde1... Apparently the internal readers are treated differently, and that's probably why they aren't bootable. [02:08] hmm, I'm gonna take that silence as a no, there is no way to hide the icons on the gnome panel like you can in XP, is that right? [02:08] Stevethepirate, let me see if I can find a way [02:08] xxploit: my guess is that such software would be very hardware specific [02:08] LordDragon, i already have asked [02:09] and thats the best i can do to discribe it [02:09] matts45acp, success? [02:09] shane2peru: put black electrical tape on the LCD screen over the icons ... don't use white-out paste since that tends to be hard to get off [02:09] slooksterpsv, apt-get install doesn't find ubuntu-restricted-codecs, is that something I'm gonna need to download from a site somewhere? [02:10] Skaperen, lol! I guess with the new black theme, that wouldn't look that bad! :) [02:10] AHemlocksLie: ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:10] slooksterpsv: Thank you. [02:10] Stevethepirate - yes if you print to file in gedit it will [02:10] bastidrazor, thanks [02:10] well, then there is "white-out" + "black sharpie" :) [02:10] Skaperen, actually white out would just look bad with the theme, now black paint wouldn't be too bad, as long as you have a razor to scrape it back off. :) === Mossyfunk|Sleep is now known as Mossyfunk [02:11] oops I put codecs instead of extras haha sorry AHemlocksLie - thanks for the save bastidrazor [02:11] How do I change my desktop view to Compact? [02:11] I have multiple video files that are about 500mb(I don't know if size matters), I want to know if I can make them to an ISO(if so, how do I do this)? Once from an ISO, can I convert an ISO to an ISO DVD using Devede? [02:11] Skaperen, ahh, right white out with black sharpie would also do the trick [02:11] Which package should I download for Flash Player? [02:11] say, Skaperen, you wouldn't know how to adjust the icon sizes in u-netbook-10.04 would you? [02:11] slooksterpsv: I'm looking for a command line solution though. Running on a box with no X. [02:11] * Skaperen has really used a black sharpie to color over nicks in his shoes [02:12] brick_ you can use dvdflick to make video files into playable dvds [02:12] Stevethepirate, give me a few moments to research that then [02:12] wow! I got my hi-res ttys back. Thanks to http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html#more [02:12] Da_Wrecka: nope ... I just tried -netbook- and put -desktop- back over it [02:12] slooksterpsv: Thank you. [02:12] Ok, everything keeps saying to uninstall flash, completely and reinstall. So i assume im not uninstalling it correctly. [02:12] Da_Wrecka: so basically, I didn't spend enough time with it to be motived to find that [02:12] Skaperen: Nuts. I kinda like the netbook launcher, I just don't like the fact that the icons are huge and have large, unnecessary spaces between them. [02:13] Can anyone walk with me through uninstall and install flash, since im a dumb noob [02:13] Da_Wrecka: that was my thought when I did try it ... wanted them to be about 75% of the size they were, and tighter [02:13] when trying to install xbmc i get "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" when trying to update the repositories how can i fix it? [02:13] subcool, how did you install it? [02:13] slooksterpsv, dvdflick is for Windows? [02:14] Da_Wrecka: maybe I will try it again when I get stuff backed up off my other netbook [02:14] brick_ you're right I thought they had a gnome version of it, sorry :( [02:14] coz_, apt-get [02:14] I have multiple video files that are about 500mb(I don't know if size matters), I want to know if I can make them to an ISO(if so, how do I do this)? Once from an ISO, can I convert an ISO to an ISO DVD using Devede? [02:14] Sorry [02:14] Devede - brick_ try that one [02:15] matts45acp, gonna help- thanks.. [02:15] A bit of a rush, leaving town tomorrow [02:15] subcool, was it sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras or which package? [02:15] trying to copy these files [02:16] coz_, nope not that one. [02:16] I have been having troubles with Rhythymbox in 10.10 ... it loses the list of radio stations when it crashes ... in 9.10 it never crashed and never lost the list (probably because it never crashed) [02:16] if I wipe out all the rhythmbox files, log out, log back in, then it recovers ... but it's a hassle [02:16] subcool, was it sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [02:17] just wondered if anyone knew what the deal is with that [02:17] Stevethepirate - I'm having a tough time finding anything [02:17] * Skaperen likes his classical music and it's already in the list [02:17] when trying to install xbmc i get "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" when trying to update the repositories how can i fix it? [02:17] anyone?? [02:17] coz I am trying to instal flash, which package should I install? [02:18] slooksterpsv: Hrmm. :< [02:18] Toxicsgz, the easiest is ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:18] Would be helpful if any of the pastebins did -> pdf generation. Then I could just pastebin my code and get a PDF of it. [02:18] coz_, ya [02:19] Sean93, which ppa did you use? [02:19] subcool, then sudo apt-get --purge adobe-flashplugin [02:19] coz_, i don't know :S [02:19] coz_, k- give me a few, im working with matts45acp ... [02:19] thanks! [02:19] Sean93, ok open system/administration/ synaptic package manager [02:20] ok [02:20] Sean93, then go to Settings/repositories [02:20] ok [02:20] Okay, here's a question... Does anyone know of a way to get a script to execute upon detection of an external monitor? I want to be able to use both screens properly under Xubuntu. Running on startup isn't good enough, the external monitor may not be connected at startup. [02:20] Sean93, then the "Other software" tab and look for the xbmc ppa [02:21] Seriously. My fucking desktop icons are taking up twice the space they need when sorted, and it's finally starting to piss me off. I accidentally happened upon the feature in 9.04, and now I can't find mention of it. [02:21] yea its there [02:21] !language | JoshDreamland [02:21] JoshDreamland: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:22] Sean93, ok hold on let me check mine [02:22] Sean93, ok just highlight that ppa there and remove it [02:22] done [02:22] Sean93, then close synaptic and open a terminal [02:22] Sean93, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa [02:23] Sean93, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-standalone [02:23] coz_, that command didnt work [02:23] subcool, sudo apt-get auroremove -- purge adobe-flashplugin [02:24] subcool, that is a double dash before purge === z is now known as Guest64905 [02:24] Oh, so THAT'S how you seperate multiple apt commands on a single line, eh? [02:24] Hallo this is Reykjavik calling do you read me? over.... [02:24] Okay, where is the settings panel for desktop display? Not the wallpaper, but the folders and files.

[02:25] hi trying to rotate my mouse axis clock wise [02:25] Sean93: you can only have one 'package manager' pogram running at a time. be sure synaptic, or others are closed if you are using some other similer task program. [02:25] !fixapt [02:25] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [02:26] Sean93, do you still have synaptic opened?

How can I upgrade this? [02:26] Sean93, ok redo the command [02:27] is it something i have to modify in xorg to rotate the mouse axis clock wise? [02:27] Stevethepirate - make a program to do it [02:27] novaspirit: why are you wanting to do this. You mean you want to move left/right to actually go Up/down ? [02:27] yea [02:28] xrandr doesn't work on this system [02:28] I have an old PS3 that I never upgraded so it can still run ubuntu. My question is should I bother?

[02:31] I upgraded to Maverick and I still have the Lucid splash screen. How can I upgrade this? [02:31] Sean93, that you need xbmc ppa to install usually, exept in maverick somethings wrong with the ppa for now and if you want to install xbmc dharma beta 2 there is some other website with a different ppa that works in the mean time [02:32] ok, thanks [02:32] up [02:32] yup i have tried dthat [02:33] i got the screen to rotate with some stuff i found on that tread and got my touch screen to also rotate [02:33] Sean93, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mario-sitz/ppa [02:33] I am trying to use 2 MX4000 PCI cards with ubuntu and am just getting kernel panics when the card is inserted [02:33] novaspirit, ok... mm I have never really needed to rotate screen at all so my experience with this is limited to google search [02:34] I upgraded to Maverick and I still have the Lucid splash screen. How can I upgrade this? Or at least, where can I find the splash screen? [02:34] Sean93, that will add the ppa for it to work to install for now, but you already added the standard one which isnt working, i dont know how to remove it and it will keep giving an error when you try to sudo apt-get update [02:34] rypervenche, you mean the plymouth theme [02:34] ? [02:34] i can explain what i'm tring to do maybe you might have an idea for me [02:34] !infp ppa-purge [02:34] !info ppa-purge [02:34] ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages.

I'm not sure what you would call it to be honest. [02:35] rypervenche, is this the screen with just the uubntu text before you log in? [02:35] rypervenche: you mean the background image that gdm uses? Or are you refering to the animation that shows befor GDM starts up? [02:35] rypervenche: you want the new background, not the boot up splash? [02:35] sean93 ah so you probably want to run ppa-purge before you add the ppa:mario-sitz/ppa [02:35] i have installed linux (debian lenny) in my G1 phone and dual boot between android and linux also got xfce4 to run with apt-get and all but mouse is orented wrong and hard to control [02:36] we are all confused about"splash" [02:36] rypervenche: did you pull up the backgrounds to see if the new ones are added? ... if you selected one previously, your selection should persist through an upgrade ... and maybe the default is doing so as if you had selected it [02:37] he means the screen you see during boot process [02:37] rypervenche, when you turn on the system... if not dual booting... it will eventually show the "plymouth" theme splash...generall just "Ubuntu" as text ,, then you get to the login screen.... username + password... which of these are you talking about? [02:37] Last i noticed teh Plymouth screen was identical in the last 2 releases... === sora_h is now known as sorah_off [02:38] in lucid mine said ubuntu after upgrade to maverick it now says 10.10 [02:38] mmm [02:38] I guess I have to reboot to be sure here [02:39] it goes by so fast... I dont even notice it when it does work .:) === peter is now known as Guest37543 [02:39] I needed xvid and mpeg-1 layer 3 (mp3) codecs for a .avi video, so I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, which gave me video, but I'm still missing audio. Video's really laggy, too, but that might just be this crappy laptop, but it wasn't laggy in Windows [02:40] i'm trying to figure out why suddenly my terminal background is white instead of black... any ideas? [02:40] I notice the Fluendo mp3 codecs in the Software center.. Not sure if they work better or worse then the old ways to get mp3 codecs. [02:40] basix-: You mean in Gnome-terminal? or where exactly? [02:41] yes Dr_Willis Gnome-terminal [02:41] basix-: default profile may have been changed. [02:41] hey all [02:41] wow there's alotta people in here [02:41] burning_atrocity: Yes ! [02:42] I am undecided about upgrading, what's the consensus??? wait or go for it? [02:42] go for it [02:42] almoxarife: if you n eed the features - go for it.. If you perer LTS only.. wait.. [02:42] lol pksadiq i bet most of the people in here seriously needhelp, lo [02:42] whats going on with ubuntu putting the close minimize and maximize on the left now? [02:42] k thx Dr_Willis [02:43] viewer: it started that in the last release.... [02:43] viewer: it can be changed [02:43] it's a new thing [02:43] !controls | viewer [02:43] viewer: 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 [02:43] i like that [02:43] im having a bit trouble running Need for speed hot pursuit 2 under wine [02:43] anyone else having problem waking from suspend [02:43] burning_atrocity: pretty much 100% of the peopel ive put ubuntu on their systems.. change it back to the other side first thing.. [02:43] ah yeah i found how to fix it with gconf, thats just seems ubertarded [02:43] that's something i have never gotten down, wine is screwy [02:44] Dr_Willis: I love it on the left [02:44] viewer: its supposed tobe a 'theme' setting also. where themes can move it back and forth.. but old themes dont. [02:44] Can somebody give me a hand getting my grub fixed? I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and when I rebooted I got an error about xputs and it dropped me to a grub rescue prompt. I used a livecd to mount my partition and run grub-install --root-directory /mnt/myroot /dev/sdb. Now when I boot from that hard drive, I get no signal on my monitor as soon as the BIOS tries to boot [02:44] i got it installed and so, but when i run it i get an Dialog box saying unknown error Initializing graphics [02:44] anyone that could help me? i can pase output from my terminal when i try to run it [02:44] of course i have been using ubuntu for a while, so i want something different than windows, where a new user may want something similar to windows [02:45] outside of ubuntu-restricted-extras, are there any other audio and video codecs I might need? [02:45] When you jump around from differnt OS's in the same hr.. puttuing the close button in differnt places.. is very annoying. [02:45] Dr_Willis, i see, so why is an "old theme" default on the 10.10 install? [02:45] Hi [02:45] AHemlocksLie: theres the fluendo codecs i see in the software center now. and the w32codecs from medibuntu [02:45] my nephew looked at it yesterday and asked me why Ubuntu is doing it like Mac now ... I've never used a Mac so I wouldn't know [02:45] that's something i have never gotten down, wine is screwy [02:46] Is it possible to assign an icon to a file extension in Ubuntu? [02:46] dr_willis okay, I'll try those, thanks [02:46] AHemlocksLie: http://www.medibuntu.org may be of interest [02:46] viewer: its not.. ambience or radience are the default.. and they got buttons on the left. I change it to clearlooks (i think) first thing, which moves the vuttons to the right side. [02:46] Button controls are controlled by the theme, they have support for that now. [02:47] can someone help me install adobe to my laptop [02:48] h00k: thats a bit of a cludge also how its im-plemented.. theres just a script in the theme package that handles it. So it can really confuse things with the older themes that dont use that script. [02:49] hello guys, ive downloaded a compressed folder, when i open it , its empty, why?

[02:51] only certain things are supported [02:51] burning_atrocity: well i installed it correctly via play on linux [02:51] mamece2: right-click extract is a frontend to various programs, including unrar [02:51] How do I download porn on linux faster. It downloads slower than when I was using windows [02:51] ok, that's the program i was thinking of [02:52] so the installation is no problem i just need a way to start it, thaats all [02:52] can someone have a look at this thread and tell me what they think http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1596096 [02:52] con-man: please [02:52] rww ive downloaded un-rar package [02:52] Is it possible to assign an icon to a file extension in Ubuntu?

[02:53] have you tried running a virtualbox wth windows in it, or possibly partition your hard drive so you can install windows [02:53] not yet h00k [02:53] olskolirc: That's not a support question; try #ubuntu-offtopic [02:53] and run it only for that game [02:53] olskolirc, then stop using it [02:53] burning_atrocity: nope havent tried that [02:53] im on kubuntu con-man [02:53] but alright i will do that, [02:53] rww it is a read only file, could that affect the extract process? [02:53] when i launch my evolution i see all my mails.. is there a way i can password protect it so that when i open evolution i see a password check if password is correct then show me the mails.. otherwise exit [02:53] just feels like its really annoying to do that.. [02:53] mamece2: don't think so [02:53] that might be worth a try, it's just that wine is so unreliable [02:53] olskolirc, so why are you here [02:53] ubuntu is for the ones who can't handle many details on a menu and things like that [02:53] imma girl :-) [02:54] where can i report a bug to? [02:54] b/c nobody hardly tallks in kubuntu con-man so i can get answers to the same commands here [02:54] ubottu: tell judasiscariot about bug [02:54] judasiscariot, please see my private message [02:54] olskolirc, so girls cannot handle technical operating systems? isnt that sexist? please go to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:54] oh yeah and i come to steal ubottu con-man [02:54] no, guys can't con-man [02:55] rww what if ive dl a virus?

[03:00] !codeofconduct > brick_ [03:00] brick_, please see my private message [03:00] teolicy you could use ISPconfig its similar to cpanel with ftp / email / http resources by domain / user etc [03:01] LWSDesigns: I'll look into that, thanks. [03:01] all better now :-) [03:01] I would suggest following a good how to guide since I'm sure you know there is lots of little things to install [03:02] hello everyone. I'm trying to get a dlink dwa 556 802.111n card running with ubuntu 10.10. I'm pretty sure this is a ar5418 card, but its not recognized out of the box. What should I do? it doesn't show up in lspci. [03:03] How is actually ubuntu pronounced as in African language? [03:04] ooooo bun two [03:04] salut! [03:04] olskolirc: hope so, but somewhere I saw it's ooboontoo [03:05] chien: #ubuntu-fr [03:05] Can more than one shell program be active at the same time to interpret commands? [03:05] Skaperen, Ok, had a stroke of genius, made a new panel, put it below the top panel, added the icons that were an eyesore, made the panel auto-hide, not 100%, but bad either. [03:05] oh the teacher on youtube pksadiq [03:05] oo-BOON-too [03:05] Skaperen, so I guess I can peel off the electrical tape. :) [03:05] is it lynn nix or lie nix? [03:06] olskolirc: Please stop asking question that are not Ubuntu support related. I am asking really nice here. I really don't feel like having to ban you. [03:06] olskolirc, I say, lie nix, and am generally wrong, so probably the proper pronunciation is, lynn nix. :) [03:06] shane2peru: sure [03:07] salut a toi IdleOne...! [03:07] I think we all understand either way its pronounced... [03:07] How is actually ubuntu pronounced as in African language? <<< i answered a question and asked in the same like IdleOne [03:07] you woman hater! [03:07] IdleOne, Ooops, sorry, didn't realize he was a umm, problem. [03:07] shane2peru: I guess that's a workaround [03:07] Skaperen, I guess we will see how it works over a few days. [03:08] Skaperen, sometimes when it hides, it covers the other panel though, but clicking no it fixes that. [03:08] I am curious what the channel is for deep technical support [03:09] like... [03:09] Fire away Guest85811 [03:09] I am havinging issues with I believe a system call being renamed but I could be wrong [03:09] Guest85811, in what area? === sorah_off is now known as sora_h [03:10] well I am trying to compile drivers for an alfa card but its erroring because it can find usb_buffer_alloc [03:10] yea thats over my head...... [03:10] do you know channel is best for this [03:11] it compiled in 9.10 [03:11] or rather 10.04 [03:11] Guest85811: grep for usb_buffer_alloc in the kernel source change log [03:11] but when I upgraded to 10.10 it doens't work anymore [03:12] Maybe the server guys might know .... [03:12] that is an internal kernel call, and it could have been depricated ... maybe split into others [03:12] Has anyone here tried running Ubuntu 10.10 as a paravirtualized guest in Xen? I'm running into an issue wherein the bootup gets as far as 'Checking Battery State' and then it hangs. [03:12] when i go to the syscall man page and list the active 1100 system calls there us no usb_buffer [03:12] gotcha [03:12] I wonder if Xen is emulating virtual batteries [03:13] im having problems with firefox. i changed the theme multiple times but the tabs bar seems to be stuck. what i do? http://i.imgur.com/47bfz.png [03:13] usb_buffer_alloc is not a syscall ... it would be an internal call that drivers can link [03:13] Hi can anyone tell me how to either block incoming connections or at least ask my premission before accepting incoming connections using ubuntu 10.04 [03:13] Skaperen, I doubt it. At least, I don't have battery = '6 cell' configured.

[03:22] can anyone help me with flash? my web browsers wont view any flash, and removing the plugin doesnt work [03:22] subcool: removing the plugin should ensure it doesn't work [03:22] I'm trying to add a repo via cli to ubuntu server. I added the repo address to /etc/apt/sources.list and I have a key file for the repo with a .asc extension. How do I add the authentication key via cli?

[03:31] i have googled a while [03:31] Anyone been successful in getting Ubuntu 10.10 netbook to run on a Dell Mini 9? [03:31] * Skaperen has -desktop- on his asus eeepc900 [03:31] my firefox tab bar is stuck on a dark theme and won't change to default [03:31] hello [03:32] but they usually confuse it with gnome-global menu [03:32] which is a different thing [03:32] how can I add a gpg key via command line if I have the gpg key with an .asc extension?? [03:32] i can't even find the ppa [03:32] I need help with ubuntu [03:32] any ideas? [03:32] !ask | Leetjag [03:32] Leetjag: 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. :-) [03:32] !enter | nok [03:32] nok: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:32] nok did you check synaptic? [03:32] Does Ubuntu 10 support my GTX 460? [03:33] nok: "dpkg -l" in a terminal command line will list what packages are installed ... maybe its a package [03:33] ... or 2 or 3 or many [03:33] @Lee you can try the live CD to see if things work. Best way to determine if it will work on your system. [03:33] so Flash is supposed to be an easy, 1.2 Install - and uninstall. === ruiqilee is now known as ruiqi [03:33] it doesnt from the live CD... its slow on the graphics [03:33] yet, i cant get it to work.??? There has to be something else thatn uninstall it. [03:34] yeah i have checked synaptic [03:34] It runs but slow [03:34] @Lee graphics driver can be downloaded and enhance performance === sora_h is now known as sorah_off [03:34] I needed to know if there was a way to intal the Nvidia drivers w/o Xserver off [03:34] subcool: it wasn't for me ... but all my info on getting it to work is at ... work [03:35] when I turn the Xserver i thnk its called.... off all i see are blury lines so I cant tell what Im doing... === ruiqi is now known as ruiqilee [03:35] I upgraded to Maverick and my login background (warty-final-ubuntu.png) is the correct Maverick background. However, when I log-in to my computer it still shows the Lucid background. How can I fix this? (I tried Ubuntu-Tweak already) [03:35] nok the notebook packages should be there in the repositorys [03:35] I need to run the nvidia package with Xserver turned off but it wont let me [03:35] the ones you need === sorah_off is now known as sora_h [03:36] rypervenche: have you tried the usual step of choosing a background and see if the new Maverick one is among the choices now? [03:36] @Lee dont' think so. X is the key to many driver sets [03:36] IDK it tells me to turn it off to intall it the driver from nvidia [03:36] Skaperen, its ok, that was with the 9.1 right? i have 10.04, would it really need it? this is soo stupid-. [03:36] it was working just fine. [03:36] ok. but this repositories are on the live system right? if so you think the menu thing is specialized to only netbooks? or for desktops and normal laptops also? [03:36] LCMDMatrix: this is not twitter, better use Tab key to autocomplete the name [03:36] @Lee nVidia is one of the best supported platforms. if you have an extra drive install it install 10.10 and give it a try. [03:37] and when I load it from the desktop it doesnt let it install unless Xserver is off [03:37] nok: what menu¿ [03:37] 10.10 [03:37] subcool: you'd need something to make a 32-bit plugin work on a 64-bit app ... like ndiswrapper ... unless they now have a working 64-bit plugin [03:37] Skaperen: I use a custom background for when I'm using my computer. However the login background seems to be stuck on Lucid's. [03:37] it is out of no where, it was working fine last week. [03:37] xangua, fair enough [03:38] xangua, and who cares? Its gets the message across [03:38] Skaperen, he has that flash problem where he needs the 32bit? [03:38] does 10/10 support GTX 460 automaticly? [03:38] xangua, but thanks for the tip [03:38] Skaperen subcool: ndiswrapper is for install windows wireless drivers [03:38] rypervenche: hmmm ... if the old one persists, my guess is there was a means to choose it and the upgrade avoids changing choices that it thinks may have been made [03:38] xangua, ya,, - got me.. [03:38] the one that they usually confuse for the gnome-globalmenu. It is the default application launcher in ubuntu netbook editions [03:38] LCMDMatrix, but when you say the name exactly it alerts people on some clients, so if i were asking a question it's easier to follow that way [03:38] LCMDMatrix: no he/she doesn't, better just to write the full name on irc [03:38] Leetjag, likely yes, but you'll need to try it. Check out the compat docs [03:39] xangua: I think it had general purpose but maybe it was a different one for Flash [03:39] xangua, thank you. Noted [03:39] xangua, just getting back to the nuances of linux [03:39] easier to follow lines of red text instead of gobs of black streaming past me at the speed of the internet [03:40] unfortunately my notes on making it work are on the internal wiki at work that I can't get to from home ... d*** the network admin ... oh wait, that's me [03:40] Leetjag: google for the PPA and nvidia.. you'll see the latest.. add the ppa to your repositories.. refresh and install "nvidia-current" that is in system>admin>hardware drivers.. if you try to install the binary from nvidia without more research and lots of cli work.. you'll end up with a borked system [03:40] izinucs, thanks for the details [03:40] nok and you want one on your laptop, right? [03:40] yea [03:41] 10.10 is very cool, stable. Switched from a Mac [03:41] I would just install that edition onto your lappy [03:41] why doesnt linux just had a intaller for stupid drivers >:( [03:41] as far as i am concerned having that on a netbook disables all compiz visual effects but i am willing to sacrifice it. [03:41] izinucs, you do not need a ppa with maverick [03:41] i thought it did...my friend had his system recognize nvidia, but im not lucky enough for drivers [03:41] why don't stupid driver writers just unstupid themselves? [03:41] can someone help me with install adobe flash player on ubuntu 5.10 [03:42] nok-you can do the virtual thing too [03:42] bjsnider: does it have the 256 driver? [03:42] 5.10 ??? wow [03:42] maverick has the 260 driver [03:42] huh [03:42] bjsnider: ah.. cool.. I'm still on 10.04 [03:42] I need that one [03:42] does anyone know why my tab bar is stuck on dark and won't change color? http://i.imgur.com/47bfz.png [03:42] medibuntu? [03:42] check out vbox and configure it any way you want [03:42] yeah but i don't wanna go virtual. i want to have it on my machine so that I can show off how cool ubuntu is. [03:42] ghost_: that version has no support since a long time [03:43] * Skaperen has to run ... gotta work in the morning [03:43] brb, i really have no idea why my flash doesnt work. and it kinda getting to me. [03:43] can flash work on 5.10 [03:43] izinucs, the 260 driver for lucid is in the x-updates ppa [03:43] ok, No- it is REALLy getting to me. Everyone is disregarding me because it' SOO EASY" to fix. ITS NOT.. and its annoying. [03:43] where do I get the 260 Nvidia drivers from? [03:43] im rebooting while i hope a reboot fixes it [03:44] xangua: can adobe flash work on 5.10 [03:44] bjsnider: :) PPA :) [03:44] subcool, i might not be able to help, so i didn't want to jump in, and i missed your original question, flash isn't working at ALL? [03:44] subcool: I BTW I found how to make it work by googling through ubuntuforums.org [03:44] PPA? [03:44] ghostnik11: why don't you better use a more recent ubuntu version¿ [03:44] subcool: though that was for 9.10 [03:44] * Skaperen is afk now [03:45] xangua: because the latter versions move some on my ibm t22 laptop [03:45] is 64 bit gonna come in handy at all? [03:45] xangua the later version move slow and laggy on my ibm t22 laptop [03:46] Leetjag, it's not absolutely necessary but it is slightly faster, and good if you have lots of ram [03:46] xangua: and 5.10 moves smooth [03:46] I have 4gbs [03:46] <_CommandeR_> how do i make cfdisk to align partitions ? [03:47] ghost_, do they have the restricted-extras pack in 5.10? [03:47] !lubuntu [03:47] ghost_: if it's about resources you can try lubuntu [03:47] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [03:47] aemaeth:no they do not [03:48] commander, align with sun at next eclipse? [03:48] ghost_, medibuntu? [03:48] Aemaeth: 5.10 doesn't have support...... [03:48] k... [03:48] does anyone know if there is video/chat plugin for Pidgin or can u suggest a better IM client? [03:48] area51pilot, empathy [03:48] okay here is a question what would be a good linux os that can go on an ibm t22 that runs pretty quick [03:48] area51pilot, for video i've seen skype work after a bit of config and cursing [03:49] area51pilot: pidgin has video/voice support with jabber protocol [03:49] does anyone have a nice website I can save to intall 260 drivers? cause the Ubuntu Package manager doesnt have 260 in it [03:49] xangua: only Jabber [03:49] yes area51pilot [03:49] thx [03:49] anyone here good with grub? [03:50] which is really funny, because they claim full support on the website, and then it's a glitchy pos when you install [03:50] I updated my Thinkpad from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and my HP desktop from Kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 - both installations locked up at the 'Configuration file change' dialog box. I reset my laptop and Ubuntu boots, but X does not work. Startx fails and X -configure fails to work as well. Any thoughts? [03:50] Ill give Empathy a try ... didnt seem to thrilled the first time around [03:50] I'm using ubuntu 10.10 now [03:50] fester, do you have a question [03:51] area51pilot, in empathy it gives a video option icon next to many of my friends, but when i try to connect it fails, maybe jabber is built to actually support it [03:51] yes, after a fresh install with ubuntu 10.10 i get the grub rescue prompt [03:51] I need help with compiling lm-sensors 3.2.0 in Ubuntu Maverick. Details here: http://pastebin.ca/1962691 [03:51] but notice that even though I configured the /etc/network/interface : eth0 as static and add configuration, the problem is the network-manager applet still using dhcp [03:51] <_CommandeR_> anyone knows if cfdisk align partitions ? [03:51] how can I fix this?? [03:52] i saw that v2.6 is supposed to support XMPP also [03:52] test34: this is how my drive is partitioned http://ubuntu.pastebin.org/185834 [03:52] c0l2e: why don't you configure it as static using network manager?

[03:54] can someone help me get my webcam working by building gspca for me [03:54] test34: i have asked [03:54] xangua, didn't know that, that is pretty low [03:54] anyone had luck getting a Nvidia MX4000 to work with linux, I have tried several distros and none of them will work [03:54] since 7.10 up to 10.04 I am configuring that with /etc/network/interfaces... but keeping network-manager intact in case using HSDPA modem [03:54] hey [03:54] fester: which version of Ubuntu?

[03:54] now even I configure /etc/network/interfaces.. the network-manager still override the network and uses DHCP [03:55] fester, not at first, but you finally did [03:55] test34: can you help?

The second is, how can I get my Radeon 3870 to work with 3d acceleration? 10.04 drivers worked, these new drivers break my system. [03:56] ctrl+c or Reset doesnt work in terminal. what to do [03:56] if I do "sudo -u postgres" how do I get back to my OS user?

[04:21] Yeah 74 GB is a bit anemic when considered for storage these days, I'd want to use it as a system drive or something [04:22] i am having trouble opening a rar file in meerkat... just installed 7zip.. but cant find the prog [04:22] <_CommandeR_> sin_tax, sure if it works it would bee fast [04:22] GanonKiller, is it just the one rar file? Trying opening another. [04:23] <_CommandeR_> also is there any known issues for ATIdrivers making HDMI displays shake ? [04:23] its rar files in general [04:23] does 7zip install rar and unrar? [04:23] GanonKiller, be sure to try installing "unrar" there is also an "unrar-free" [04:23] Aemaeth, GanonKiller no, it does not. [04:23] i have 7z [04:23] then maybe you just need sudo apt-get install rar unrar [04:23] Hey guys, i accidentally deleted the /dev folder on my server. Is there any way to recreate those files? [04:23] Aemaeth: sudo apt-get install rar unrar [04:23] I thoght the builtin archive manager could extract RAR? [04:24] The server is running fine, but i cant ssh to it anymore. However i have access to files there, and can rum commands there. [04:24] GanonKiller, ZykoticK9 is correct. You need to run apt-get install unrar-free [04:24] fidelix, reboot i believe??? [04:24] ZykoticK9, if i reboot, the /dev files will be recreated? [04:24] GanonKiller, i'd install the non-free "unrar" actually [04:24] #kubuntu [04:24] I am afraid that the server will not be able to start again after this. [04:24] hey all, I need to set up a simple password protected blacklist filter? Any ideas? I looked at squid, openDNS, DansGuardian but I think they offer more than I need [04:25] fidelix, i "believe" so, but confirmation would be nice. [04:25] fidelix: you have physical access to the server? [04:25] xangua, how is that not what i said? [04:25] vvcephei, no. But how would that help? [04:26] If you do, you can always pop the cd in if it fails to start and boot in live cd mode [04:26] fidelix, physical access = win [04:26] then mount the drive === sorah_off is now known as sora_h [04:26] fidelix, are you sure you deleted /dev? things would break really fast if that happened, i doubt it could continue to run? or reboot for that matter. [04:27] ZykoticK9, running ls on /dev returns just /dev/null and one morefile. [04:27] Can anyone help with Flash, for some reason it just stopped working. I have uninstalled the driver, and reinstalled it. No matter what i do, there is no flash [04:27] fidelix, oh man - i have no idea what you should do then. Good luck man. (personally, i'd still try the reboot, but i don't run production servers!) [04:27] subcool, did you sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [04:27] I don't suppose you have more than one partition... [04:28] vvcephei, only 1 partition. [04:28] fidelix, how did it get deleted in the first place? [04:28] subcool, have you tried to install more then one flash version/program? [04:28] LoJuRu, i accidentally rm -rf'd it because of a symlink i created. It was negligency. [04:28] subcool, often if you have more then 1 installed, things can go bad... [04:28] ZykoticK9, is right, that is one thing to check, some things asplode when you do that [04:29] i reinstalled ubuntu, didn't remember about PGP key and now i'm lost as to how i'm supposed to get it back/revoke it/something else -- anyone willing to help? [04:29] fidelix, I am sorry to hear that. =( [04:29] fidelix, Can you acquire physical access to the server? === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy [04:30] Is there a way to automatically reply to someone e.g. "username: message here". I'm new to IRC. [04:30] yeah, that's a bummer. I don't know if there is some way to force like a dist-upgrade that would rebuild the system [04:30] subcool, i'm pretty sure i got this from ActionParsnip but could be wrong http://paste.ubuntu.com/513558/ [04:30] mike1234, It depends upon your client. [04:30] xchat [04:30] mike1234, type the first couple letters then try tab [04:30] Aemaeth, works [04:30] LoJuRu, the server is in other continent. lol [04:30] fidelix, buy plane tickets? =D [04:30] Aemaeth, thanks [04:30] mike1234, can also do that in bash to save you typing, plus gives you clues [04:31] yea, np mang [04:31] fidelix, so you still have an ssh session... [04:31] LoJuRu, it would be easier to just download the entire server and request a reboot. [04:31] T00L on my belt [04:31] that's definitely an option [04:31] Aemaeth, yeah i knew that, didn't know it worked in xchat though, nifty. [04:31] just mirror the whole thing [04:31] <_CommandeR_> is bezel compensation available in 10.10 in ATI drivers? [04:32] you could also _try_ rsyncing the /dev directory from a fresh install of ubuntu to the server, but I'm guessing that's not reliable. [04:32] this thing on? [04:32] vvcephei, I am looking at that now. [04:32] can anyone help me with my pgp key predicament? [04:32] can't hear you rick_ [04:32] anyone feel like answering a probably simple ubuntu question?

[04:33] how do i change my login screen? i've tried following guides online and i can't seem to get them to work out for me [04:34] I just switched from ubuntu lucid to xubuntu maverick (fresh install). for some reason i can't edit the config file or do basic things like add themes. anyone help me out? [04:34] well then, i'll restate my question: i reinstalled ubuntu, didn't remember about PGP key and now i'm lost as to how i'm supposed to get it back/revoke it/something else -- anyone willing to help?

[04:35] thanks gabirel. i haven't tried that one yet [04:35] no prob [04:35] i did ask a question [04:35] rick_: you cory the themes/icons to /home/youruser/.themes /home/youruser/.icons [04:35] how do i recover from a partial or aborted upgraded? [04:35] it's been a pain for a while. i've customized the crap out of my ubuntu install and that's the final piece of the puzzle :-p [04:35] fidelix, I do not suppose you have an identical, or even similar, server at your disposal? [04:36] i'm not worried about the themes issue really, but why can't i edit the config file to make a permanent swappiness change? [04:36] LoJuRu, unfortunately, not. [04:36] anyone know how to install gspca [04:36] I guess i could call them on the morning and ask for a replacement of this folder. [04:36] fidelix, you tried makedev? [04:37] LoJuRu, that sound a good thing. How can i try that? [04:37] does anyone know how to get a radeon x300 graphics card working with Maverick? [04:37] fidelix, should be like makedev /dev/hda (etc) [04:37] what does this mean? [04:37] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5 [04:38] I cant make IP static in /etc/network/interfaces... how can I setup it now in 10.10?? [04:38] linux_is_my_hero, the following signatures couldn't be verified. [04:38] LoJuRu, i tried starting /etc/init.d/ssh and got this: * /dev/null is not a character device! [04:38] Says that right there. [04:38] linux is my hero: you need a signature key for the sources you put in [04:38] That surely does not sound fine. haha [04:38] yayo1: it didn't give me that error message until i installed wine then uninstalled it === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12p|afk [04:39] fidelix, so you can't acquire a ssh to the server now? That's called "screwed" son.

Apparently it uses 4KB sectors rather than 512 byte sectors. Anything I have to specifically do different in regards of installation at all? [04:40] linux is my hero: cause wine is linked to the sources. you have to erase the sources in software sources to get rid of this. [04:40] Can I disable removable media support for rhythmbox? It's annoying when it scans my external hard drive every time I open rhythmbox. [04:40] yayo1: which one? [04:40] fidelix, how are you communicating with the server if you can't get an ssh session? [04:40] I have tried to install 10.10 a number of times and have had no luck. I tried using the startup-disk creator in Lucid Lynx and apparently there is an incompatibility between the usb-writer and the image for Meerkat, so I tried UNetbootin('s) image writer for usb's and that hasn't worked either...I just get a plymouth loading screen forever. I've had to install Lucid a number of times because sometimes the install will complete, but on r [04:40] eboot I get a kernel panic warning and the machine is caught in a recursive reboot cycle. I have also tried to upgrade from within Lucid Lynx via update manager and still no luck, I have MD5Sum all images before creating bootable media and I am at a complete loss as of what is happening or what to do... [04:41] yayo1: and if i reenable the sourece will i still get the error? [04:41] vvcephei, he never responded back, I am waiting to find out myself. [04:41] vvcephei, through vePortal [04:41] yup [04:41] i can run commands from there. [04:41] * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [04:41] ...fail! [04:41] I recreated /dev/null [04:42] linux is my hero give a sec, im looking up the sources used. I don't use wine any more cause of all the problems it causes [04:42] fidelix, did you try makedev /dev? [04:42] LoJuRu, i'll try right now [04:42] yayo1: outstanding :-) [04:42] fidelix, do this - [04:42] cd /dev [04:42] LoJuRu, 0 output. I hope that solves it ^^ [04:43] ./MAKEDEV all [04:43] then reboot [04:43] yayo1, what do you use instead of wine? [04:43] ok IRC, you fail goodbye [04:43] LoJuRu, i cant cd anywhere. I can just run commands from / [04:43] It will force the system to rebuild it's entire /dev directory [04:44] <_CommandeR_> how do i get the gain settings for asus xonar in ubuntu 10.10?

Last time I checked (a few versions ago?), Ubuntu could not use a swap file even though the kernel supports it. A swap partition was still required. Has this changed? [04:45] how come its saying the package "tspc" is unable to be found? [04:45] anyone knows? [04:46] just upgraded to 10.10, suspend no longer works on a dell latitude d620: PM: Device 00:0a failed to suspend: error -5 [04:46] Hello guys.. i read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java and I installed icedtea6-plugin however applets are not behaving correctly... is this the most pure form of java in ubuntu for applets in firefox? [04:46] g0tcha`, probably can't locate the package with that name [04:46] Choreboy, will it not let you install without the swap? i thought it was always recommended not required [04:46] Any ideas? [04:46] Can someone help me! I installed ubuntu 3 times and my comp doesnt seem to recongize GRUB, and it boots into Windows MBR directly [04:46] Choreboy: my understanding is that swap files are fully supported now (10.04). Not sure when it started though... [04:46] Aemaeth: I haven't tried to install yet, I wanted to check first before partitioning [04:47] funkylarge: have you tried installing ubuntu over top of everything else? (Format while installing) [04:47] Loshki: fully supported by the kernel, or by ubuntu? [04:47] funkylarge: you don't need windows. 8-) [04:47] FunkyLarge: got more than one drive in your machine? change the boot order in bios [04:47] <_2F_> hi, i'm cretaing a raid1 on my server but the howto speak about grub legacy modification and i have grub, can someone help me to make it please ? http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch-p2 [04:47] LoJuRu, how can i find what is the proper name? [04:47] Choreboy, my system is using little to no swap, but i guess it's working...? [04:47] LoJuRu, all the guides say to install it that way [04:47] FunkyLarge, Windows doesn't play well with GRUB sometimes. It likes to install itself in the MBR over everything else. I had a computer once that would let me dual boot, but after five or six reboots Windows would overwrite the MBR. [04:48] I have two hard drive, but i install both windows and ubuntu in one drive [04:48] FunkyLarge: change the boot order.. grub is on the other drive [04:48] Choreboy: I'm not sure. Rather than misadvise you, I would refer you to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [04:48] Aemaeth: I don't want to disable swap. I'd just like it to not be it's own parition. [04:48] Loshki: thanks, I'll do some reading [04:48] g0tcha`, hang on while I look [04:48] Choreboy, i'm pretty certain it has to be it's own partition [04:49] Choreboy: that's silly.. keep it where it is.. it hardly gets used anyway [04:49] Aemaeth: that's what I was asking. The kernel supports a swap file in the... umm... what's it called... userland? [04:49] best advise, all always install Linux after windows. Saves you time :D [04:49] izinucs: it's not anywhere. I haven't installed yet. [04:49] g0tcha`, what is tspc? I can't find it anywhere [04:49] I don't want to make a 2gb swap partition if I only need 256mb for swap. [04:49] Choreboy: give it 1 gig on it's own partition.. and be done. [04:49] izinucs, but during installation i choose to install grub on the first drive, whicih is the one with windows and ubuntu. Because my other drive is very slow. It's for media storage [04:50] does the system hibernate to the swap partition? [04:50] Choreboy, yes [04:50] LoJuRu, its for freenet6 ipv6 tunnel broker.. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/tspc-debian-ubuntu-linux-configure-ipv6-tunnel/ [04:50] so I'd need to make it larger than 1gb [04:50] as I said, I'd rather not have a larger swap partition that goes unused. I only have 40gb to play with. [04:51] Choreboy, a good rule of thumb is to make it as large as the amount of ram you have. (2gigs ram = 2gigs swap) [04:51] I am using a netbook and everytime I install upgrades I get closer to running out of HDD space. Is there a way to clear out stuff that isn't being used by Ubuntu? [04:51] <_2F_> hi, i'm creating a raid1 on my server but the howto speak about grub legacy modification and i have grub2, can someone help me to make it please ? http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch-p2 [04:51] Choreboy, normally it's recommended to have at least 1x your ram and up to about 2x, but i've had systems with none too [04:51] FunkyLarge: perhaps.. but it also has to do with how the drives are plugged into the motherboard.. if the secondary drive in actually plugged into say slot 1 but the machine boots off the other drive in slot 2 then .. well.. just try it and see if it works.. if it does then you can always install grub to the other drive [04:51] Aemaeth, Choreboy if you're not going to put the computer into hibernate mode then you do not need a swap. [04:51] g0tcha`, I am still looking... [04:51] just upgraded to 10.10, suspend no longer works on a dell latitude d620: PM: Device 00:0a failed to suspend: error -5 [04:51] I will be hibernating. [04:52] Choreboy, then no bigger than 1x ram. [04:52] anyone with a realtek 8111? [04:52] Choreboy: if you're suspending to swap, you must have a swap partition, not a swap file... [04:52] bundled ubuntu10.10 drivers doesn't seem to work [04:52] izinucs,the second drive is plugged into slot 3. firs drive: slot 1, dvdrom: slot 2, second drive:slot 3 [04:52] Choreboy: and it must be >= your RAM size... [04:52] Loshki, so in this case suspend and hibernate are =? [04:52] I have 1.75gb of ram, so I guess I'll make a 2gb partition [04:53] Choreboy, good call [04:53] Aemaeth: sorry, I don't understand the question. But it's discussed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [04:53] alright, I'm off then. Thanks for the answers. [04:54] that brings up a question of mine; last time i deleted a partition, it was like another partition was linked to it, and was deleted also. This was very disturbing, how do i make sure that doesn't happen again? i specifically made a separate /home/ so i wouldn't lose data, but then it went all haywire [04:54] LoJuRu, found it.. its been renamed to 'gogoc' [04:54] FunkyLarge: try it.. change the boot order and see what happens [04:54] g0tcha`, =) [04:55] fidelix, how's it going? [04:55] Also; what scheme should the harddrive be formatted as? MBR or GUID partition table? For a Ubuntu 10.10 and XP dual-boot, that is. [04:56] Aemaeth: unless you had an extended partition (which itself contains partitions), what you describe isn't supposed to happen. I'd guess pilot error, or a bug. Scary either way... [04:56] Loshki, that was probably it! hmm [04:56] LoJuRu, i'm preparing my coffin... [04:56] fidelix, the server is not coming back up? [04:56] Aemaeth: it turns out there's no substitute for full backups, sorry... [04:56] And putting bullets in my gun... [04:57] LoJuRu, i did not reboot yet. [04:57] fidelix, you must reboot so MAKEDEV will restore /dev [04:57] I want to somehow backup all files and download them to my pc [04:57] fidelix, ah, I see. [04:57] But 70gb will surely not be fast [04:57] izinucs, OMG you are right!!!

[04:58] fidelix, I am checking it now. [04:58] izinucs, But is there a way to move it back to the first drive? because the second drive is an ancient old hard drive that could die any minute [04:58] anindya_m is saying something about makedev only working when proc is mounted [04:58] Anyone got opengl working in a 32-bit chroot using nvidia drivers? [04:58] On Maverick [04:59] fidelix, What of it? [04:59] FunkyLarge: you don't really "move" it.. simply install grub to the drive you want.. that way it will be in two locations .. one as a backup.. or simply live with it there.. it won't slow things down.. grub is a pointer to the other drive for booting only.. [04:59] Loshki, ok, so how i did it this time is slightly better, cause i just confirmed that NOW my /data/ partition is on a primary, but i could only have 4 primary so "/" is logical "/boot" and "/home" are extended, "/data/" is primary, and then of course swap is primary, will this mean that data is safe, but if i delete /boot/ then byebye /home/?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:56] braydenmartindal, i still don't know why google earth crashes :( [05:56] IcemanV9, i did [05:56] Esat, i don't have screenshot of system > pref [05:56] Next Internet Explorer will look a lot like Google Chrome [05:56] installed ubuntu on my mac and now my osx partition has gone missing, what should i do? [05:56] Grab you're recovery discs durranee! [05:56] Quantum_Ion: doubt it [05:56] what do yuo have inside System -> Preferences?? [05:56] you mean osx installtion disk? [05:56] izinucs, I seen the previews [05:56] there is a list [05:56] IcemanV9, [05:57] Yes, the discs that came with you're mac [05:57] Esat: what exactly are you trying to find? [05:57] They have the original drivers on them [05:57] Quantom_Ion: IE9 beta looks a lot like Chrome [05:57] area51pilot, I told you [05:57] okay i've restarted with them and i have 3 partitions, disk0s1, 02 and linux swap [05:57] :D [05:57] izinucs, i want to take a photo of System -> Preferences list [05:57] is anyone here from Botswana? [05:57] I use Firefox and Chrome depending on the use [05:58] Are any of the partitions you're original? [05:58] area51pilot, me too [05:58] i'm scared to install osx just in case i can recover the previous installation? [05:58] none of them are original braydenmartindal [05:58] and sometimes I have to boot to Billys World and use IE ... bummer [05:58] epaphus, how about sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [05:58] If you can't find you're original partitions, odd's are it's lost for good. [05:58] I've accidently done that countless times LOL [05:58] shite! [05:59] area51pilot, I just use google chrome in incognito mode most of the time [05:59] why would you have to use IE? [05:59] Luckily for me, I just erased Vista, which wasn't that bad of a thing anyway :D [05:59] it had everything, please tell me there is a way to recover things [05:59] is there a way to set your computer to shut down in an hour or some other time period? [05:59] incognito mode = porn mode none of your history is saved [05:59] Aemaeth: there's lot of online stuff that just doesn't work without direct x.. mostly work /corporate stuff.. [05:59] as far as I know, there is no way to recover the data on the partition if it is no longer on the hard drive. [06:00] damn it [06:00] Aemaeth: Im a net admin ... and there are web apps in the office that only run on IE [06:00] izinucs, ah, k [06:00] yeah you are pretty much screwed if you messed up your partitions the data is lost [06:00] ...developers must not have a lot of extra R&D $$$ [06:00] mann [06:00] !language | durranee [06:00] durranee: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:01] i'm sure i selected the partition nt the whole disk [06:01] Yeah, always gotta be careful when installing additional operating systems on the same hard drive! [06:01] virtualbox!! [06:01] he is screwed he lost all his data on Mac Os X [06:01] so sorry [06:02] area51pilot, for example, i heard adobe would release a nix version of photoshop if they knew they had the copies sold, but if they're not expecting x million they don't even care [06:02] Quantum_Ion: Incorrect. [06:02] hi [06:02] durranee: testdisk is your friend. [06:02] screwd is underestimating it mate, [06:02] hi [06:02] Thats why most people suggest to only install another OS on another hard drive, unless you know exactly what you're doing lol [06:02] need some help with testdisk, how do you doit? [06:02] Oh, he overwrote his old data? [06:02] can anyone point me to a utility to schedule a computer shutdown? [06:02] well since he chopped up his partitions he is chopped and screwed [06:02] Aemaeth: I bet [06:02] and there are some good alternatives [06:02] Quantum_Ion: Welp, you can rewrite partition tables and no data is lost. [06:02] i just installed 10.10 on my new desktop with a gtx 460 graphics card and installed sc2 under wine and it's a bit jumpy [06:02] braydenmartindal, i guess i have learned it the hardest way [06:03] even on low graphics settings [06:03] The question is "is the data still on his disk?" [06:03] and also playing videos is a little bit jumpy aswell [06:03] Lol It took me a few times to get the hang of everything, [06:03] does anyone else have this card? [06:03] KB1JWQ, How successful do you think that will be ? [06:03] Thats why I don't do anything with my mac [06:03] oh sure, but i just mean that if you write them every day like shawshank redemption, maybe you'll have more luck [06:03] im using the nvidia drivers that ubuntu installs when it asks you for "additional drivers" [06:03] I install all my OS's on my HP laptop lol [06:03] i'm ready to try everything, including setting fire on my mac if it can recover the data this way [06:04] better get a backup usb drive and play around with that [06:04] Quantum_Ion: Welp, if you've got a second machine, and you pull the drive out, slap it into an enclosure, mount it read only, and run testdisk on it, then there's a shot I 'spose. [06:04] It's a good thing you've got a robust backup policy in place and can restore from backups though! A lot of people with insufficient experience and bad administrative habits would not be in such a good position. [06:04] KB1JWQ, No newbie is gonna go thru all that [06:04] lol [06:04] Quantum_Ion: Depends on how much he wants his data back. [06:05] okay i got a dell and an enclosure, guess it's time to rip that mac apart [06:05] durranee: You're not on that machine now, are you? [06:05] i got few scripts with umount.cifs.. now in ubuntu 10.10 it's gone... is there a way I can install it again in 10.10 ???? [06:05] i'm on my dell atm [06:05] Well durranee, if you don't have the old partition anymore, the data is lost forever pretty much. I'd just leave the mac alone(unless it's of no value to you) leave OSX on the mac and fool around with something else lol [06:06] durranee: In what OS? [06:06] windows [06:06] win7 [06:06] You poor sucker [06:06] Having to use Windows **shivers** [06:06] ll [06:06] lol braydenmartindal its not even funny mate [06:06] i'm shitting myself atm [06:06] Language, please. [06:07] sorry [06:07] how to take a photo of a File Browser's menu list? [06:07] its hard to concentrate on language sometimes, i'm sure you'd appreciate that lol [06:07] i will paypal anyone $5 if you can get this to build http://sourceforge.net/projects/nw802/files/ for my kernel [06:07] durranee, you should have been messing around with the dell [06:07] KB1JWQ, everytime you buy a new PC you should always have a back USB hard drive [06:07] foul_owl: What's your kernel? [06:08] 2.6.31-22-generic [06:08] Esat: Applications -> Accessories -> Take Screenshot, set it up for a timed screenshot, open the menu [06:08] i know man, shouuld have thought about it [06:08] Quantum_Ion: I don't roll that way. :-) [06:08] Esat: unfortunately, there's a longstanding issue with X11/GNOME that stops printscreen from working with a menu open [06:08] hence the round-about way of doing it [06:08] rww, there is not any solve ofr this issue? [06:08] KB1JWQ, He could Chop up his USB hard drive in to partitions and install Ubuntu and change his BIOS to boot from his USB ports [06:09] durranee: http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.com/file-recovery-software/ is supposedly decent for Windows. [06:09] Well, I'd giveup on getting the data back. You're just getting your hopes up TBH at least you have install discs! [06:09] I will paypal you $10 if you can get the working module into the repos [06:09] thank you KB1JWQ [06:09] and all you [06:09] multiverse or whatever [06:09] i'm gnna take that hdd out nw [06:09] durranee: Good luck. [06:10] pain in the neck t get hdd out from mb pro [06:10] why might an ubuntu install not progress at the create user Id screen? [06:10] No problem durranee, and good luck! [06:10] braydenmartindal, Once you Chop and Screw your primary hard drive in your computer its too much of a headache to attempt to get the data back [06:10] < durranee: About $500-$1K if you get stuck and want someone else to do it for you professionally. These are legitimate companies, not "people on IRC." [06:10] Quantum_Ion: Not so, just depends on how you did it, and how much your data is worth to you. [06:10] That's what I mean, Quantom Ion [06:11] foul_owl: have you looked at this? http://nw802.sourceforge.net/faq.html [06:11] KB1JWQ, i do remember buying a program a few years ago that helped me recver data, but that time no OS was installed [06:12] i was tring to downlod ubuntu 10.10 netbook edishon and in the midl it got shut down and now wen i start it up i get this mesig about contakting the edmin how do i fix this [06:12] lol, 2.6 isn't even mentioned [06:12] my offer stands [06:12] home: is that english¿ [06:12] $5 if you build the working module for me now, $10 if you can get it into the repos [06:12] it is cheaper just to get an external USB hard drive to experiment with [06:12] sore i hav dislexeya [06:13] foul_owl: stop doing that.... [06:13] Ubuntu boots of off external USB hardrives but Windows doesn't [06:13] stop doing what? [06:13] home, you mean when you start up the download? [06:14] you object to me offering money for open source driver development? [06:14] no wen i start up ubuntu i cant evin login [06:14] Hi I have an XP x2000 desktop with on-board intel graphics. I cannot disable the onboard but would like to use a video card...the installer Kernel Panics though. Is there a way to blacklist it from trying to use the intel driver? [06:14] HP* [06:14] foul_owl, i gues..you can't advertise that? i'm confused too, but best not to argue in the support chat [06:14] unless i use the non gui [06:14] hey so whenever i start up my laptop, under /var/lib/NetworkManager, in NetworkManager.state, NetworkingEnabled=false is the default setting and everytime i turn on my laptop, i have to edit it to NetworkingEndabled=true and restart my computer so it will update, but it will only last for one boot up. My questions are one: is there a way to make that change permanent, and two: how can i... [06:14] ...update NetworkManager.state without restarting my computer? [06:15] where is the java runtime environment installed too in ubuntu 10.04? [06:15] home, yes, but you really have to explain better what happened. the way you wrote it it sounded like only the download got interrupted [06:15] when the USB stick drives can hold more than 16GB of data you can install Ubuntu on stick hard drives and you will be all set to boot from your USB ports [06:15] home, easiest would be just to reinstall [06:15] the state of webcam drivers with ubuntu is abysmal, to say the least. no one wants to do any work on them, so i'm offering someone with coding skills a small reward to help advance the progress of ubuntu webcam drivers [06:15] it did but it was a upgrade [06:16] Quantum_Ion, why couldn't youdo that now? [06:16] foul_owl, all newer cams are uvc, they all work ootb [06:16] Aemaeth, not enough space for updates, etc [06:16] but i have stuff on that computer that i can not loos [06:16] wait, a windows program can fetch data from osx partition? [06:16] well my cam doesn't :( [06:16] Quantum_Ion, i've actually wondered if you could sell machines with just usb drives and an ethernet port as "Internet machines" for people who shouldn't have admin rights [06:16] hey, does anyone know of a plugin for pidgin or similiar for Ubuntu, that will display the last message sent on IRc through a Panel-Style ticker tape display? [06:17] home, well, I thought you just did a new install? [06:17] Aemaeth, that is an interesting issue [06:17] foul_owl, 20 $ ... [06:17] Quantum_Ion, i have a 4gig that works fine, i use it for system testing, but has like 3 gigs of space, if i had multiple cards then that would be a place to put things, no? [06:17] no it was a upgrade to ubuntu 10.10 and it was allmost dun [06:18] $20 if you can get it into the repos, so all I have to do to install is go "sudo apt-get install nw802" [06:18] Aemaeth, well as time goes on the USB stick drives will be able to hole more GB's so you have to wait a while [06:18] wait, a windows program can fetch data from osx partition? [06:18] Quantum_Ion, and a disturbing thing about usb sticks is they have a finite read/writes [06:18] !ppa | foul_owl you can creat your own [06:18] foul_owl you can creat your own: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [06:19] Aemaeth, is it something like 20,000 read write ??? [06:19] i want it to be part of ubuntu from now own, users shouldn't have to search trhough ppas [06:19] i forget the number [06:19] Aemaeth: *ALL* hard storage media has limited read/write cycles~! [06:19] HELP ME [06:19] gartral, true, but it isn't listed on my hdd how many, isn't that more random? [06:19] gardar, that is true [06:19] Aemaeth: around 10,000 to 15,000 for USB sticks (mean) [06:19] foul_owl: then submit a bug¿¿ become an ubuntu developer¿¿ [06:20] gartral, What happens after 20,000 read/writes on a USB stick drive does it just die ? [06:21] Aemaeth: no, it's listed, just cryptic: the logic is a head was roughly 3 mil~ read-writes, and each spot on the surface has roughly 500,000~1.5 million.. [06:21] step21 are you there [06:21] gartral, thanks...now i'll be paranoid and probably never leave torrents running [06:22] home, then try logging in manually on the console, run the upgrade again, and then reboot === doyle is now known as Doyle [06:22] Quantum_Ion: no, after one sector is written to so many times it's degraded, the controller marks it as "bad/dead" in the register, and attempts to move the contents to a new sector (this is ussually allocate to the lost+found folder in *nix) [06:22] how i can get into the cosl but wer do i go from there [06:22] if the upgrade again doesn't do anything, do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade [06:23] home, didn't you say before that you could get in manually? [06:23] gardar, okay [06:23] Quantum_Ion: try gart instead of gar// gardar gets touchy ;) [06:23] so what do i tiyp in [06:23] i was thinking that too, he will be angry when he sees his name called [06:24] lol [06:24] Might as well share this FFS. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9974224#post9974224 [06:25] I need to report a bug.

[06:29] i am trying to build dpkg from source code, is there a place i can get dpkg source in a tarball? [06:30] Same here Rudy: Pidgin's sounding scratchy. [06:30] I fixed Pidgin [06:30] (by specifying it use ALSA) [06:30] tiox: the remote machine is a server and accepts ssh connections. Can it all be done from my local command line or do I have to first ssh in, upload the bash file and then run it? [06:30] but I'm trying to get sound from other programs to not stutter [06:30] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [06:30] If you SSH in, you should be able to run the batch script on the target machine.

[06:35] hi guys, how i can add new font in ubuntu? [06:35] mneptok, so if my problem has to do with resume from sleep, the package I'm looking for is the linux kernel? [06:36] soroush: double clic in the font> press install button [06:36] I assume, gilaniali, if the bash script it on the target machine, you can execute it through terminal like you would on the target device, except ending with & [06:36] shouldn't windows 7 shw files on ubuntu drive? [06:37] durranee, i would think you would need to download support for ext4 if it exists [06:37] But if the script is NOT on the target, instead on the remote computer accessing it, then yeah, gotta upload it.

[06:44] not like UBER slow [06:44] but slower than I think it should be [06:44] snarkster just press ESC while boot screen [06:45] snarkster: You can remove Plymouth and X11-Plymouth through Synaptic to remove the graphic. COmmand line? Not sure. [06:45] Oh! [06:45] snarkster, you need to remove "quiet splash" from your boot options [06:45] * tiox blushes and learns to STFU and watch [06:45] snarkster, I don't know how to do it in grub2 though, maybe someone else does [06:45] i user BT4 [06:45] yah my system is hanging on startup.

The About menu still says Gedit, it still displays "gedit" in the title bar, but I can no longer activate it by typing in "gedit" into gnome-do. Any ideas why Gedit has been renamed, and how can I revert the change so that everything will work properly again?

[06:52] anonius: try Alarm Clock [06:52] thrillERboy: I have installed both UNR and Desktop 10.04 off of usb [06:52] Thopter: I guess it's Canonical's effort to genericize the application names. [06:52] thrillERboy: yep, I have USB boot install issues and Live CD issues [06:52] antonius: http://alarm-clock.pseudoberries.com/ [06:52] when i try update-manager -d it offers me the release candedate [06:52] You can uninstall the Ubuntu gEdit, then from a Debian repo grab the standard gEdit. [06:52] can your speak chinese? [06:52] area51pilot: Got ur problem sorted out? or still searching for answers? [06:52] That SHOULD work. [06:52] can somebody tell me a good html editor(with preview and stuff) for linux? [06:53] thrillERboy; ...in search of... [06:53] semitones, yep, i use it on my server because i'm too lazy to actually install the server version [06:53] tiox: thanks... I just attempted a reinstall, but that hasn't helped. I'll try that method next [06:53] lol! [06:53] hey again, can someoone tell me what tool to use to access ubuntu partition on windows 7 [06:53] My USB Install doesnt boots :( [06:53] !cn | quanhe [06:53] quanhe: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk === Kardos_ is now known as Kardos [06:53] area51pilot: My USB Install doesnt boots :( [06:53] thanks thopter [06:53] durranee, it depends on what file system your ubuntu partition uses [06:53] durranee, but try fsdriver.org [06:53] guys I am about to go install the ugly UNR again [06:54] hi [06:54] ain't working on win7 [06:54] I know [06:54] semitones, ain't working on win7 [06:54] durranee, then bug them to fix it :p [06:54] anyone know an application to convert multiple mp3 files to ogg? [06:54] thrillERboy: .. does your BIOS shows your USB device.. in the bootable devices. [06:54] There's a translation app... [06:54] transarmmageddon? [06:54] (soz, i don't know what else to try aside from google) [06:54] Or is it transageddon? [06:54] thrillERboy: Did you use the program? [06:55] I should say file conversion app, excuse me. [06:55] FOund it in the Ubuntu forum thread. [06:55] rameez: I hit F12 and select USB Storage, the mild brown screen appears and nothing else happens [06:55] anyone know of the issue of it not showing the 10.10 update in update manager ? [06:55] durranee: Won't work. [06:55] MOP: I booted from USB yesterday [06:55] ubuntuuser: did you do "sudo update-manager -d" in terminal? [06:55] durranee: Your partitions are hosed, or so you told us. You need something that'll scrape the platters. [06:55] Thopter: it offers me the rc [06:56] !transmageddon | marcPV [06:56] should be the same thing... install the rc, then do any other updates afterward [06:56] do any of you have laptops with trackpads? [06:56] "Transmageddon supports almost any format as its input and can generate a very large host of output files.Transmageddon supports almost any format as its input and can generate a very large host of output files." [06:56] transmageddon? let me try... thanks tiox [06:56] Thopter: thanks [06:56] semitones: yes, mine has one [06:57] (Wow, did it twice. Fail) [06:57] does it have a trackpad key (that's supposed to toggle it on and off I assume) [06:57] my USB Live cd issues maybe caused by the source ISO ... I cant believe it would be this out of whack [06:57] semitones, my trackpad won't turn all the way off, even with that key [06:57] okay guys [06:57] gonna install UNR [06:57] Aemaeth, mine too!!! >:( [06:57] semitones: no, not a physical key, but I believe there is a setting somewhere that turns it off when a regular mouse is present [06:57] J [06:57] restarting mini to time [06:58] Thopter, kk, well mine has a key (and so does Aemaeth's) but the key doesn't really work it seems [06:58] semitones, best i can do is turn off click support in gconf-editor, which afaik is new in 10.10 [06:58] Aemaeth, what does your key do? [06:58] and that special program that they list for touchpad problems does nothing [06:58] thrillERboy: i think you might need to make your bootable device again. But another expert opinion can be sought.. [06:59] Aemaeth, semitones: I was able to turn off tap-clicks in Karmic and Lucid, and just use the buttons for mouse clicks [06:59] semitones, just nothing, like key is dead to me && the world [06:59] yea, Thopter's answer is what i did, cause it was SUPER sensitive [06:59] Thopter, I like tap-clicks too though :) like the perfect solution would be that the button turns tap clicks on and off [06:59] Aemaeth, mine displays a graphic of the trackpad turning on and off, without actually doing it :/ [07:00] well dual hard drive was epic fail [07:00] oh well [07:00] semitones, i have an asus, not as much support [07:00] semitones: it is a setting in ubuntu, somewhere... perhaps someone could whip up a script that would look for a hotkey combo to turn it on and offf [07:00] -f [07:00] I'd like to file a bug against the defective key, but I don't know what package it would be [07:00] what TallGuy ? [07:00] My Bios recogonizes Flash drive, but it freezes while it boots.. anyway thanks rameez [07:00] semitones, listen to Thopter find the key in gconf and make a simple script [07:00] i have ubuntu installed on a harddrive in a backup comp, wanted to run that harddrive as a slave in my current comp, but its not gonna happen tonight [07:01] TallGuy: Try changes Hard disk order in Bios [07:01] Aemaeth, can I do that and file a bug? [07:01] pinout [07:02] TallGuy: Try changing Hard disk order in Bios, coz the bootloader comes from the first system partition in HDD order [07:02] what is gconf by the way? [07:02] semitones: sure, file the bug, and post the script as a workaround [07:02] i have a SATA, and a PATA, and the only one i can hook the hard drive is the PATA which my optic drives are connected, i don't know enough to make the PATA recognize the harddrive [07:03] semitones: gnome configuration editor, it launches from the terminal by gconf, or you might be able to find it in the start menu under System Tools >Configuration Editor === azrael_ is now known as azrael_green [07:03] Thopter, looks like i haven't installed it yet, gconf gives command not found [07:04] semitones; should already be installed, try with sudo [07:04] folks, I've made htpc with xbmc from ubuntu maverick. I've edited sudoers not to ask for password coz I've made some bash scripts to work with my remote control (no keyboard, just remote with mouse function). Now I have problem, when I connect to my house wifi it asks for password ones, but every time it asks for KEYRING password. How can I avoid this, I mean how to prevent ubuntu for asking keyring password. THX ppl! [07:04] apt [07:04] *once [07:05] Thopter, found it: gconf-editor [07:05] semitones: you're looking for Desktop>Gnome>Peripherals>Touchpad [07:06] I can't enter keyring password every time as I don't have keyboard :/ [07:06] semitones: if you can get a script to toggle the tap_to_click value via hotkey-combo, that should do what you need [07:07] StaRetji: go into wifi settings and for that SSID/connection, set it to be "available to all users". This requires a keyboard once tho [07:07] disable while typing seems to do nothing for me, it'll still click around the screen, or my hands will make it double click and erase what i was typing [07:07] someone used enlighnement with gnome [07:07] Aemaeth: seems to work for me... weird [07:07] doesn't work for me though [07:08] my trackpad is wild! [07:08] doesn't listen to instructions :P [07:08] how can I make sure the VNC server is working [07:08] hateball: thx for answering, but it's a atom box which I carry with me and connect to other wifi hotspots. I.e. I'm on the airport or hotel and I can't login unless is free :/ [07:08] listening to ports and all [07:08] for example I disabled tap to click, and tap to click still works :P [07:08] is there a way to turn it off completely [07:08] semitones: ...nice... :P [07:09] SHOTGUN [07:09] semitones, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1102761 this help? [07:09] <-- got a weird question lol ... my ps2/keyboard slot cause my MB to shut down i wonder if i could unsolder it and use usb .... no idea if someone familiar with that here lol just asking [07:09] semitones, Thopter, whereas i can turn off tap to click just fine :) [07:10] join ##php [07:10] what is the terminal command to update everything ? [07:10] StaRetji: Ah! Well you can either use a totally passwordless keyring [07:10] YAAK: Don't spam other channels on freenode please. [07:10] Aemaeth, that would help a lot, but I'm suspecting that the trackpad just doesn't listen to gconf :P [07:10] MonthOLDpickle, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:10] StaRetji: Or you can allow the network-manager parts to use the keyring fully trusted [07:10] semitones: maybe you need a new trackpad driver update? [07:11] I wanna run connect to VNC Server on my computer through work, how can I make sure the VNC server is indeed set up alright? I run the vncserver command and set a port for it [07:11] Thopter, maybe. or do I have to close gconf for changes to take effect? [07:11] hello. i just edited the 05_debian theme to add a background in Ubuntu 10.10 and ran "sudo update-grub2". now grub.cfg is totally empty! how can i at least regenerate the original entries? [07:11] semitones, i did not have to close gconf [07:12] semitones: it should be immediate [07:12] kk, then yeah the driver is not following instructions [07:12] hateball: how can I allow network manager to use keyring fully trusted? thx for helping out so far [07:13] hateball: also, is there a way to use passwordless keyring via ssh terminal. I mean, can I reset password via console? [07:14] StaRetji: Can you xforward? [07:14] hateball: I have x11vnc and ssh access to the box [07:14] i need my computer to make a sound to scare away raccoons, is there support in 10.10? [07:15] hateball: I can access it remotely, I'm in it rigth now, both ssh and vnc [07:15] Aemaeth: automatic? based on webcam input? or just random noise? === Mossyfunk is now known as Mossyfunk|Smoke [07:16] Thopter, i'd be happy with manual, they get close to me while i'm laptoping in the backyard [07:16] Aemaeth: load up a sound in a mp3 player, maybe Audacious, and just hit play when needed [07:16] Thopter, and i don't think there's a patch for possum, those are just plain mean [07:17] I wanna run connect to VNC Server on my computer through work, how can I make sure the VNC server is indeed set up alright? I run the vncserver command and set a port for it === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [07:18] i'm thinking this might work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZZUqT3MTNo [07:18] ah, the possum patch doesn't come out for a few more releases ;) [07:18] nadav, can you use the client to test it now? [07:18] Aemaeth: yeah, that'd scare almost anything away ^_^ [07:19] greetings all [07:19] StaRetji: you can launch "seahorse" and then remove the entire thing. But it will prompt you next time, to create a password etc... which you can then leave blank. I'm not sure how good this will all work out having direct input to the machine tho === Mossyfunk|Smoke is now known as Mossyfunk [07:20] i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.... is there a web based media server app that would serve files to a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, etc.. looking for audio/video [07:20] Question: Let's say I encrypt my /home folder when I install Ubuntu. Later on, I suffer catastrophic system failure and need to recover some files before reinstalling. I boot from a live CD/USB stick and have the key that was generated for me when I first logged in. How do I decrypt my files? [07:21] as example; if I have xbmc at home; I could connect to this server and it would intergrate at home; or at the office; etc [07:21] <_vaibhav_> any graphical utility which shows network stats of all Ethernet like in system monitor [07:21] hateball: no seahorse, but I'll install it [07:22] so, why is my gnome panel clock applet always cropped after reboot (can only be fixed by raising the high of the panel and the restting it to 24 again)? [07:22] Andorin, it uses ecryptfs programs [07:22] Ah shoot, I just thought of a suggestion for the man who was having problems with gnome-do. [07:23] Renaming Text Editor through alacarte to gEdit Text Editor... [07:23] Andorin, this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [07:23] StaRetji: oh you're not running standard gnome/ubuntu [07:24] Aemaeth: Thanks. I'll give it a read. [07:24] hateball: maverick with xfce4, minimal install and the I've installed xfc4 [07:24] Andorin, i just went through that not long ago, it took some practice but eventually i got it to display my drive [07:25] StaRetji: Oh... I dont know how xfce handles keyrings at all [07:25] Aemaeth: Great. Hopefully this is up to date, then. Encrypted /home directories are great but being able to recover data is a must [07:25] hateball: I've installed seahorse, started it, it doesn't show anything, I mean password and encryptio keys are empty [07:26] hateball: OK, I'll try to google then. It's good to know that resetting keyring password to blank will remove it. Thx once again [07:26] Andorin, well, the scary thing is, as long as someone is able to interrogate the first password out of me, they can use that to get the other passwords the program uses ,which is great when you don't write down the password you're supposed to, and who writes down passwords anyhow? [07:26] StaRetji: Good luck :) [07:26] hateball: thx :) [07:27] hi all [07:27] Aemaeth: I know nothing about ecryptfs... it stores other passwords besides the decryption key? Or are you talking about keyrings or GPG keys that might be stored in the protected directory? [07:27] <-- got a weird question lol ... my ps2/keyboard slot cause my MB to shut down i wonder if i could unsolder it and use usb .... no idea if someone familiar with that here lol just asking [07:27] I cannot shutdown from session, the ubuntu 10.10 only logouts the system then i have to shutdown it again [07:27] Andorin, it does not store it, but you can figure out the key again [07:29] Andorin, and that was half the confusing part about this program, which key is which? i had 3 i was working with, but it only says "passphrase" so i had to guess until i was right [07:29] c0l2e, try #hardware channel [07:29] thanks [07:30] coz_: but it works on restart [07:30] coz_: and even on 10.04 awhile ago.. Just install a fresh 10.10 just now [07:30] Hey! [07:31] whats up [07:31] /whois $me [07:31] lol [07:31] damn xchat why wouldnt it work [07:32] Aemaeth: Well, the only thing I've done is choose "encrypt my home folder" during installation, so hopefully my setup isn't too complex. [07:32] class_bravo: TCA? [07:33] La [07:33] i have a bash file which contains the functions called mainbash.sh and another which calls them called doer.sh. doer.sh has the line: source mainbash.sh, but when I run it, it gives an error: no file or command [07:33] x [07:33] :P [07:34] DFW [07:34] thats a busy ara [07:34] gilaniali, uh...idk but i know if you put .sh files in /usr/bin normally other sh can call them no problem, also make sure you change the permissions so its EXECUTABLE [07:34] im outta VNY [07:34] cool [07:35] AFW here [07:36] dfw is the one all over the written test! I knew i recognized it [07:36] commercial [07:36] private [07:36] pilot? [07:36] well my mini is broke [07:36] what you fly? [07:36] in UNR it won't even boot now [07:37] BE-90c [07:37] after an install [07:37] uu [07:37] NICE! c182 [07:37] nice [07:37] model? [07:37] you guys should trade on the weekends [07:37] rg [07:38] your right ... apologize .... addiction 4 pilots [07:38] :D [07:38] kinda slow in here ... [07:39] hmm? [07:39] :P [07:39] lol, it is. [07:39] so how about that airspace... [07:39] jk [07:39] lol [07:39] area51pilot, get bsdgames and then run atc === Maddy is now known as Guest82400 [07:40] bsdgames [07:40] in synaptic? [07:40] sure, or apt [07:40] k [07:40] atc is cli so have to be in a terminal [07:40] cli? [07:40] command line [07:40] interesting [07:40] cool [07:41] opening another ssh session..... [07:41] it's my favorite game in cli... [07:43] area51pilot, have to tell them altitude 00000 one dot before the airstrip [07:43] ok [07:43] how do run it [07:43] Hi [07:43] its late and im fairly new [07:44] at least to linux admin [07:44] open up a terminal Applications > accessories > terminal, and then just type atc [07:44] ok [07:44] atc [07:44] i typed bsdgames [07:44] yea, bsdgames just references the game pack itself, google bsdgames for all the software included [07:45] Aemaeth: E: Invalid operation bsdgames [07:45] root@ubuntu:/home/damon# atc [07:45] Command 'atc' is available in '/usr/games/atc' [07:45] The command could not be located because '/usr/games' is not included in the PATH environment variable. [07:45] atc: command not found [07:45] area51pilot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:45] sorry [07:45] it late [07:45] long day [07:45] so you typed "sudo apt-get install bsdgames" first? [07:46] u'd thin after spending 10 hours working on systems and networks .. i wouldnt spend another few doing the same private :P [07:46] I used synaptic [07:46] k, weird then, terminal should let you play by just typing "atc" enter [07:47] I just ried from the term: [07:47] it says bsd already newest ver. [07:47] kk [07:47] so who kows [07:47] and atc does that error? [07:47] yes [07:48] * Aemaeth is baffled [07:48] see you guys later [07:48] over [07:49] so pilots don't share their planes? [07:49] says the command is available in /usr/games/atc [07:49] why u say that [07:49] sure we do [07:50] :D .. spread the love man [07:50] idk, i said you guys should get together and make a day out of it [07:50] Hello , I can only visit facebook via IPv6 (the link should be www.v6.facebook.com).Now i want add facebook account on Gwibber. But Gwibber only visit facebook via(www.facebook.com), so the page is blocked. Any one knows how to solve it ? [07:50] Its like that everyday for us .. its like the computer thing [07:50] ya knowe [07:50] anyone here good with bash [07:51] i hear the pay isn't great, which is sad [07:51] !anyone | gilaniali [07:51] gilaniali: 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? [07:52] is there anyone that might be interested in helping me with a start up problem? [07:52] when u start out it is enough to almost get food stamps ... but in the end it can hit 6 digits easy [07:52] not really sure how to explain it and i [07:52] oops, i'm* on a different pc right now. [07:53] hateball: i am trying to import a bash file into another bash file using : source mainbash, but i keep getting an error saying cant find file [07:53] some application is loading when i log in and it like... floods the taskbar. i'm not even sure what app it is. [07:53] eaerth, you played with your startup programs? [07:54] i did check them out after this happened but everything looks normal. [07:54] Aemaeth: Would you happen to know why I get a "No such file or directory" mounting error when I follow the instructions on that EncryptedPrivateDirectory page for recovering your data manually? [07:54] eaerth: Check the task manager? Then see the startup programs. (Like Aesmaeth said) [07:54] eaearth: what wm? I think you can failsafe gnome, for example [07:54] just did a fresh install of maverick too. [07:54] gilaniali: Nothing I know about, but at least you've stated the issue for others to see now ;) [07:54] eaerth, cause that happened to me once when i tried mounting a device at startup, it made nautilus sadder than the saddest panda [07:54] <^DEMOSS> hello , how i can connect to my VM1 from console use VNC ?? what i need type in console ? [07:54] eaerth:mispelt, see above [07:54] hmmm [07:55] it is still gnome, yeah. [07:55] Andorin, i think you have to point it directly to the .private/ and directly to where the /home/user/ [07:55] the only thing in task manager that i can think of that has anyhthing to do with it is something that is blank. [07:56] is it possible to just create a new user so i can actually log in to the same machine and maybe have terminal running when i log in to see what is going on? [07:56] Aemaeth: Here's the command I'm trying, running from a USB drive: sudo mount -t ecryptfs /home/.ecryptfs/ubuntu/.Private /media/04b[etc etc]/home/andorin [07:56] eaerth, dont quote me on it but there might be a gnome-failsafe option in gdm sessions iirc. Might let you bout without startup programs etc [07:56] Aemaeth: Since my whole home folder on the hard drive is encrypted, shouldn't I need to point it towards the home folder itself? [07:57] gilaniali: When you source the other file, use the full path and that *should* do the trick. [07:57] Andorin, i think, but it looks like you're already doing that... [07:57] unless that's the wrong /home/ you're pointing to [07:57] okay... might this be located in system / admin prefs? [07:58] Aemaeth: Nope, just the one user on the laptop. Specifically the error is: "Error mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory" [07:59] i could google this actually thanks for the idea, josh. [07:59] Is it possible to use DM-Crypt to encrypt an iso with aes to burn with brassero? [07:59] eaerth: well, you could comb through your startup progs in preferences > Startup Apps [07:59] yeah i did that but nothing looks out of the ordinary... [07:59] Andorin, stop me if i'm off here, but should there not be a /media/[numbers and letters]/home/.ecryptfs/andorin/.Private ?to mount to? [08:00] i'm honestly not even sure why it happened in the first place. [08:00] *from rather, not too, since you're going TO /media/{stuff}/home/andorin === rob_p_ is now known as rob_p [08:00] Aemaeth: Huh... yes, there is. Let me try something [08:01] Andorin, i think you need to keep it on that /media/blahblah, becuase that's both sides of the puzzle...not sure if you can mount it to a new /home/ but rather decrypt and copy files as needed [08:02] Hey peoople I got a big problem. I got a SD card, and I formatted it to fat32 and it all worked perfectly ast night. But every time I reset the computer, the SD card will not be recognised with my computer, and when I open it in gparted it always comes up with unknown file system [08:02] How can I fix this? [08:03] Aemaeth: Now I ran this: sudo mount -t ecryptfs /media/blahblah/home/.ecryptfs/andorin/.Private /media/blahblah/home/andorin/Private [08:03] how do i do a sha25sum on an iso? [08:03] Q: problem with 10.10 persistence (casper), installed via Universal USB Installer. It basically...doesn't persist! [08:03] stealth_:something got borked? have you already repartitioned it and have it blown up again, or will gparted keep you from formatting it? [08:03] installing with the 10.04 alternate amd64. At about 75% it's now asking for the 10.04.1 LTS Lucid Lynx disc. This? ---> http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent [08:03] Aemaeth: But that seems wrong to me somehow... decrypting it then mounting it within itself? [08:03] hai all [08:04] joshmclvl1, I formatted it twice to fat32 [08:04] seidos: "sha256sum /path/to/file.iso" [08:04] I know this is better left in #firefox, but I want to ask -- If I make the toolbars in Firefox transparent, will there be a grey background or will the opacity show the desktop through by default? [08:04] each time the partition comes back as unknown [08:04] Andorin, not sure if you need the "Private" at the end of /home/andorin/ [08:05] Aemaeth: Yeah... I just tried mounting it straight to /home/ubuntu and it successfully mounted, apparently, but now I'm locked out of that directory. === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy [08:05] rww, i forgot the 6 :( thanks [08:05] stealth_: and two kaputzes, hrm. It was unreadable immediately after pulling it out? Or did it go into a camera or something in between? [08:05] joshmclvl1, it was working fine on my computer, I pulled it out and ion and it worked [08:05] but then I reset the computer and suddenly it does not want to work [08:05] Andorin, i thought you were trying to go to /media/blahblah/home/andorin/ but it put it in your CURRENT /home/??? [08:06] would formatting it as NTFS fix this do you know joshmclvl1? [08:06] Aemaeth: Yeah, I'm trying to work out how to do this. The live disk is disposable so if I screw up (like I suppose I just did?) it's not a big deal. [08:06] stealth_: maybe, but what is the purpose for this? cross compatability with windows apparently? or also with a camera? [08:06] can you read the data though? maybe you can copy what you need now and never go back to this? [08:06] Its for a friend, he just wants to use it in windows [08:07] I had to recover some data of it because it would not work for him either [08:07] hello everyone [08:07] wan an [08:08] 有中国人么 [08:08] joshmclvl1, would NTFS work with a 32gb SD card providing hes only using it for windows? [08:08] hy guys, is there anyway to install an additional driver to my ubuntu withut havong lan connection on the device to get the wlan run? [08:08] !cn | lizhong [08:08] lizhong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:08] stealth_: prolly [08:08] I changed my user password and now when I try to connect to my wireless router I get a message saying "The password you use to to log into yo0ur computer no longer matches the password in your keyring" or something similar and I need to enter the old password in order for it to work. How do I change this so the same password is being used? [08:08] not actually, Li, but I understand it [08:08] joshmclvl1, let me try it and see if it corrupts. If it does corrupt can I safely say to him the SD card is messed? [08:08] Aemaeth: Never mind, rebooting fixed the lock-out problem. Okay, so I'm supposed to mount it to /media/blah/home/andorin? *tries* [08:09] ubuntu -cn [08:09] lizhong: /join #ubuntu-cn [08:09] stealth_:well, hrm, ah. Probably [08:09] Yeah ok, cheers. [08:09] Andorin, yea, that's what i thought would work, because at one time that disk was putting it together automatically, so now you're just doing it manually, keeping it all on same disk [08:09] Let me try formatting it to NTFS now [08:10] Well if you'r curious I found a way without DM-Crypt. I'd love to hear if anyone knows how to do it with DM-Crypt. [08:10] where would I go in launchpad to file a feature request/bug for the messaging menu? [08:10] joshmclvl1, brb [08:10] On start up, NetworkingEnabled=false, under /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state [08:10] my god [08:10] this is ugly [08:10] 10.10 UNR lol [08:10] bleh [08:10] Q: any takers - persistence not working on Pendrive, 10.10. [08:10] kk, stealth_. I may sleep myself soon nuff [08:11] Aemaeth: Alright. I tried that, and apparently it successfully mounted: "Mounted eCryptfs" so now I just have to, ah, find it. I'm still locked out of /media/blah/home/andorin and the only two folders in that home/ folder are andorin and .ecryptfs [08:11] Ahh joshmclvl1, i got a massive problem, let me show you a screenshot 2 minutes [08:12] stealth_: with the drive or the system? [08:12] stealth_: or gparted [08:12] Andorin, that lockout problem is beyond me, when i did it i was able to cd into it no problem :( [08:12] does ubuntu have a built in alternative to winrar? [08:12] 7zip [08:12] http://i52.tinypic.com/30cneig.png [08:12] ubuXubu:tar, gzip :D [08:12] ubuXubu: sudo apt-get install unrar [08:12] cool thanks [08:12] joshmclvl1, the drive is giving me a warning message [08:12] well gparted [08:12] ubuXubu:but those aren't litterally compatible [08:12] unrar....who knew? [08:12] ubuXubu: ;) [08:13] anybody know a program that can run off a USB that totally blanks a hard drive? [08:13] ubuXubu: you clearly didn't google :) [08:13] im tryin to burn something to cd [08:13] and im am wasting cd's [08:13] ubuXubu: If you want 7-Zip compression do: sudo apt-get install p7zip [08:13] MonthOLDpickle: "Linux" [08:13] MonthOLDpickle, been a while since i looked into that, there's that grat cd [08:13] *great [08:13] i need to burn a large file to cd [08:13] Would DBan work on a usb? *Wonders* [08:13] and its not workin so i asssume it cos its RAR [08:14] I am using linux [08:14] * Andorin seconds UbuntuNewbie's question [08:14] joshmclvl1, any suggestions? [08:14] so am i on the right track? [08:14] hi all , i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and found i can't get window screenshot by press alt+prtsc , any guy here met the same problem ? any help? thx a lot [08:14] !enter | ubuXubu [08:14] but I need to like make NTFS or something not ext4 lol [08:14] ubuXubu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:14] stealth_, what's the warn? [08:14] http://i52.tinypic.com/30cneig.png joshmclvl1 [08:14] program on usb to blank hdd... I often use bt3's utilities, can install to usb using universal usb installer [08:14] stealth_, o [08:14] stealth_, I see link [08:14] Aemaeth: I guess I'll play around with mount locations and hope I get one that works... [08:14] Yeah, I have no idea whats wrong with it [08:15] what does it say when you can't enter the directory? [08:15] joshmclvl1, I tried to check and repair file-systems on the drive but it would not do it [08:15] Aemaeth: One sec, rebooting it [08:15] You should be able to use unetbootin and a DBAN CD ISO to put it on a USB drive. [08:15] and i'll never encrypt my /home/ again, it's too much trouble, i'll just take the jailtime [08:15] all i know is the file ends in .RAR so whatever i need to make it burnable is fine with me. [08:16] Aemaeth: a much better approach would be to study what exactly you did wrong, not to abandon it... [08:16] stealth_:sucker's prolly bum drive. [08:16] ejv, yea...but i guess the REAL solution is encrypt a file that isn't your home? [08:16] Hmm, joshmclvl1, I just tried partitioing it to fat32 again, and theres no errors [08:17] joshmclvl1, that is what I am thinking here to be honest, because it works but not for long, going to ask my mate where he got it from [08:17] Unetbootin / Universal USB Installer with Gparted [08:17] Aemaeth: everyone has unique approaches to their setups [08:17] And if he says eBay we have found our problem ;) [08:17] Does anyone know of a version of Monopoly for Linux or OS X? [08:17] i'll leave it at that :) [08:17] the board game [08:18] stealth_: heh. 32GB too eh? pity [08:18] ok joshmclvl1 , going to reset the computer now to give it a try, going to try windows first to see what happens [08:18] Kapitalist [08:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/513661 [08:18] And hyeah joshmclvl1, I will just suggest he gets a refund [08:18] Kapitalist - monopoly for linux [08:18] anyway, brb [08:18] Aemaeth: Okay, mounted to Desktop/Test to minimize damage from the lockout... when I try to cd into it I just get "permission denied" and adding sudo gives "sudo: cd: command not found" [08:19] kieth: Sounds like a KDE program [08:19] btw your question makes little to no sense: if you're trying to do single file encryption, I suggest you use GPG [08:19] 晕了，这么多人。。。 [08:19] bu kuhee soa jung wan [08:19] ＨＩ， [08:19] Andorin, i'm grabbing for straws here, but sudo nautilus ? and then try to go to the folder? [08:20] I used passwd to change my user password....but now it keeps making me type in my old password to unlock my "keyring". How do I change the password for my login keyring to match that of my user account? [08:20] 有重庆人吗？ [08:20] !ask | iori_ [08:20] iori_: 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. :-) [08:20] btw Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10..is really ugly and slow [08:21] back to desktop version on my mini! [08:21] what is the disc the 10.04 alternative installer is asking for? it's asking for a 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx cd. What is that? [08:21] noted [08:21] iori: /join #ubuntu-cn [08:21] what is "remix" anyhow? [08:21] kieth: Is Kapitalist in the repos? I can't see it. Also, will I need to install KDE to play it? [08:22] remix adds a questionable menu look which makes it harder to use for us netbook users [08:22] 有人和我聊吗？ [08:22] !cn | iori_ [08:22] iori_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:22] richardcavell, run "apt-cache search monopoly | more" [08:22] Kapitalist... saw on google. probably have to compile [08:22] its for small resolutions Aemaeth [08:22] here is a pic of the newest http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Ubuntu-Ubunity-Screenshot-3.png [08:23] oh my god this is aggrivating. [08:23] MonthOLDpickle, i vomited a little [08:23] Aemaeth: Alright, that worked. Now I see tons of directories with names like "ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.[jibberish]" which I assume are encrypted file names because otherwise it looks like I can access my files. When I run the mount command and enable filename decryption, I get the "not found" error from before. I'm trying something. [08:23] how do you intsall build essentials? [08:23] Andorin, that might mean you used wrong password (like what i did a couple times) [08:23] the app that is flooding my panel is called start up file manager? [08:23] alinz1: sudo apt-get install build-essentials [08:23] synaptic helps.... [08:23] yes, that too [08:24] eaerth, so maybe nautilus is starting a billion times at startup? [08:24] ejv: cant find the package? [08:24] Yea Aemaeth here is the 10.04 one http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qBN_dFzAuCo/TGt0kxaxyCI/AAAAAAAAB2E/hI-rkrJZ2LA/s1600/Ubuntu-10.04-UNR.png [08:24] alinz1: sudo apt-get install build-essential [08:24] i tried a few different things, cleared user settings... created a new user and when logging in as the new user it still happens [08:24] singular not plural apparently [08:24] ;) [08:24] Aemaeth: Just file and directory names are gibberish'd; it appears that the files themselves are decrypted. Maybe I'm using the wrong FNEK signature... [08:24] aemaeth; that is a possibility...\ [08:24] ejv: yeah that always threw me off ;) [08:24] NIght guys staying up too late to do this [08:24] still cant find package??? [08:24] what can i do? ;[ [08:25] alinz1: need to refresh first [08:25] i'm losing my mind... [08:25] hmm i installed unrar but i really dont see it or know how to use it? [08:25] Andorin, yes, probably the fnek or the first passphrase it asks for, passphrase was ambiguous and it took me a couple times, but thank goodness if the files are ok, and you can copy them ok [08:25] kieth: how? [08:25] Andorin, having said that i would check them before a copy [08:25] I love the new ubuntu front, although the 't' irks me a little. Anyone else loving it? [08:25] ubuXubu: Are you openeing a rar or making one? [08:25] Aemaeth: I see what you mean. This part, specifically? "(Enter the mount passphrase you recorded when you setup the mount--this passphrase is different from your login passphrase.) " [08:25] alinz1: suggest the gui... from terminal type sudo synaptic [08:25] keith: reload synaptc? [08:26] Aemaeth: I was just using the home directory's decryption key for that. I'm not aware of any other passwords except possibly my user password for that account. [08:26] that worked - thansk keith [08:26] UbuntuNewbie, i downloaded a rar file and now i want to burn it to a cd...its not working out so i assume i need to unrar it 1st [08:26] ubuXubu: unrar can be invoked via nautilus (right click on a file to unpack) or via the command line: unrar e [08:26] eaerth, best i can say is look for anything you could have changed in the startup, otherwise you have a slightly better idea of how to ask the question for others in this room [08:26] ubuXubu: You can double click on a rar file to open it. [08:26] ok i did try the right click hmmm [08:26] ill try again [08:26] eaerth: do you have time to look through gconf stuff pertaining to startup? That's where I'd check, among other places I guess [08:27] i can verify i never made any changes to start up apps. [08:27] yeah i have plenty of time. [08:27] ubuXubu: Do you want to put the rar on a cd? or do you want to extract what's inside the rar first? [08:27] how do i bring up gconf - alt F2 > gconf? [08:27] ubuXubu: Double click on the rar to open it and see what files are inside. A rar is just like a zip file. [08:28] eaerth: or alt F2 > "configu" and click configuration editor [08:28] i might add that it's terribly taxing on the system so it takes a little time to do certain tasks... [08:28] joshmclvl1 thanks, i'll try that and brb [08:28] Andorin, i think you can recover it with "Recovering mount passphrase", i know there is a passphrase program that will ask you for the password to make that 2nd key that then ecryptfs uses [08:28] joshmclvl1, good and bad news [08:28] Aemaeth: Interesting, I'll try that in a minute. [08:29] As a general rule, who has better Linux drivers? ATi or Nvidia? [08:29] eaerth:you can ctrl + f through it to save time [08:29] is there an apt-get package I can install to test my cpu? e.g. calc PI or something? [08:29] stealth_: let's hear it. [08:29] getting a new pc, want to see how much better it is [08:29] the good news is it worked after resetting and it perfectly worked in windows [08:29] bad news is, its read only [08:29] joshmclvl1: ctrl f? [08:30] sin_tax: lately it's sort of a tie, also that's a question that's more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic , join and ask there ;) [08:30] searching through it I think? last I tried searching for something (in that case desktop stuff) [08:30] ohhhh gosh i'm a moron hahahaha, yeah i got you now. [08:30] thanks ejv [08:31] Hi. I use ubuntu (10.10) and fluxbox as window manager. I am looking for a way to start other programs (such as xscreensaver) at windowmanager startup. .initrc file seems to be ignored. [08:31] joshmclvl1, I gotta go in 5 minutes and need to write files to it [08:31] you got any suggestions? [08:31] i thought maybe it was a dif command there [08:31] stealth_: this is the derp question, but it doesnt have a r-o switch right? [08:31] trying now, brb [08:32] Yeah it does josh, lemme check t [08:32] its fully down josh =/ [08:32] its unlocked [08:32] Aemaeth: That's odd. I run "ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase /media/blah/home/.ecryptfs/andorin/,ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase" and enter my login password, but it says "Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed [5]". Interestingly, the wrapped-passphrase part refused to tab-complete, and when I try to ls the .ecryptfs directory in there, I get permission denied. [08:33] stealth_:worth a shot. Hrm. Check flags on it or something in gparted, but I haven't had to partition anything since I set this laptop up so it's been awhile, might not be able to help it :( [08:33] shit, joshmclvl1 - where might the start up settings in config be? [08:33] Another way to ask my question : I am looking for the name of the progam used to login/select windowmanager at ubuntu startup [08:33] K cheers joshmclvl1 , i gotta go now anyway [08:34] Aemaeth: Hang on, doing it as root might fix it [08:34] does anyone know the ecryptfs command to put in the password and get that long string that you use for the rest? [08:34] by chance is this a maverick issue?? [08:34] because i had JUST upgraded... [08:34] Oh no, joshmclvl1, i think i might have partitioned it in read only, now its not letting me partition it when its unlocked [08:34] well partitioned when locked* [08:34] How do I change the settings of this thing? [08:34] i had a problem with limit in number of partitions ! i.e i'm limited to 4. i doon get whether the logical partition we use for swap is also treated as a partition ?? :-/ [08:34] i would do another install but man... all my files are on there..... [08:35] eaerth: you can check desktop > gnome > session >required_components and make sure nautilus is set right [08:35] Aemaeth: Alright! Yes, I had to do it as root. And it spat out a passphrase which is identical to my decryption passphrase, so that must = mount passphrase. *is confused as to why filenames won't decrypt* [08:35] how can i determine when an RAR has been properly extracted amd is actually ready to be burned to cd? [08:35] stealth_: um. idk T.T [08:36] Andorin, now that you have that long string...you can use that and do the mount process again? [08:36] K, gtg anyway, peace man [08:36] i had a problem with limit in number of partitions ! i.e i'm limited to 4. i doon get whether the logical partition we use for swap is also treated as a partition ?? :-/ [08:36] stealth_:night [08:36] ubuXubu When you see the files that were inside of it. Is it a disc image you are trying to burn? [08:36] Aemaeth: Guess I can try it [08:36] data i believe [08:37] hi [08:37] how do i enable restricted hardware drivers? [08:37] ubuXubu If it's just data you can copy the files you want onto a cd. If theres an ISO or IMG file it's an image of a disc and is burned differently. [08:37] enable it thru gui [08:37] laurenceb [08:37] Laurenceb: System > Administration > Additional Drivers [08:37] probably u wil get some error regarding lock [08:37] 1 [08:38] System>Admimnistration>Additional Drivers [08:38] Andorin, cause if i understand, you now have that long digit string that you use for the "passphrase" and then the 2nd part is from those instructions where it gives you two example lines [08:38] noting saying additional drivers [08:38] i burn iso all the time [08:38] i need a driver for the ati radeon graphics on my acer asipre 5101 [08:38] joshmclvl1: alright there are only three things in required_components and it seems normal to me... filemanager - nautilus, panel - gnome-panel, wm - gnome-wm [08:39] How well would Ubuntu netbook version be on an older laptop? [08:39] i am having a problem gettingan RAR to be in a burnable state [08:39] graphics is broken after upgrading from 8.04lts [08:39] !fglrx > Laurenceb [08:39] Laurenceb, please see my private message [08:39] ubuXubu do you know about zip files and how they work? [08:39] thanks [08:39] laurenceb try it tru ubuntu sofware center [08:39] no [08:39] ubuXubu, unrar and rar didn't let you unrar it? [08:39] !netbook [08:40] i just now i am wasting a lot of cd's [08:40] i seriously wish my isp wasn't such a douche i could have my friend patch into my pc from his and take a look... he's the 'buntu guru... i'm still new with it. [08:40] since karmic anyway [08:40] unrar hasnt shown up on this project anywhere yet [08:40] i had a problem with limit in number of partitions ! i.e i'm limited to 4. i doon get whether the logical partition we use for swap is also treated as a partition ?? :-/ [08:40] !language | eaerth [08:40] eaerth: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

I have clamav installed but I'm not using it in kmail. I have kmail configured to run all inbound mail through spamc (I checked to make sure the rule was using spamc and not spamassassin perl script) [08:40] i installed unrar but when i click the file unrar isnt here [08:40] sorry ;S [08:40] CAN ANYONE HELP ME? [08:40] it says: Setting frequency with iw [08:40] iw dev wlan0 set freq 2412 [HT20|HT40+|HT40-] [08:40] this doesn't work! [08:41] PLZ? [08:41] !caps | stefanos [08:41] stefanos: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

Its acting like what I expect if i had clamav doing virus scanning on email [08:41] so it must be errors in manual [08:41] ok ill try the archive manager [08:41] very bad [08:41] !ask | stefanos [08:41] stefanos: 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. :-) [08:41] stefanos, sshhhh, it's almost 1 here in Cali, hahaha [08:41] anyone able to tell me if they've seen this behaviour and if so how to fix it? [08:41] archive type not supported [08:41] ubottu: help [08:41] i want to install a thme on my lg kp500 but the program is in dos an d i cant find a way to do it [08:41] !help [08:42] hmmm bizarre [08:42] joshmclvl1: could i possibly do a reinstall of the OS and keep my files? [08:42] Aemaeth: As I said, the long string you spoke of is the same as my decryption key for the home folder itself. Now, I did follow the part of 'Recovering Your Data Manually' that deals with filename encryption, and I got two medium-length strings of numbers and letters... copied the second one, like it says... [08:42] thme? dos? .... eh [08:42] please, don't SHOOT [08:42] or maybe even boot through USB? [08:42] we can read lowercase too [08:42] )) [08:42] theme.....dos [08:42] stefanos: "in dos"? [08:42] yes [08:42] Andorin, and any luck? [08:42] stefanos: you are not running Ubuntu? [08:42] stefanos: you're in windows? [08:43] Aemaeth: Then when I try to decrypt and mount, and when I input that second string for the FNEK signature, I get the 'No such file or directory' error again. [08:43] i've never had this problem the entire time i've been using ubuntu... [08:43] eaerth: well, yes, but there should be *something* that you could change, but idk what :( [08:43] i am running ubuntu but there is no way to install the theme in my mobile through ubuntu [08:43] i think he's trying to say he's got a theme on his phone he wants to put on his ubuntu install and doesn't know how to do it [08:43] what determines whether a file is to be burned as an iso or just as data? [08:43] phone? [08:43] Andorin, and you put long string as passphrase? [08:43] can i post here the page with all the instructions so anyone can help me? [08:43] joshmclvl1: yeah i know what you mean... i tried googling some sort of solution but i have a hard time figuring out exactly what the issue is in the first place. [08:44] stefanos: are you sure you're running Ubuntu on this? It sounds like a smartphone. [08:44] my instructions say..."burn to cd" doesnt actually say iso or data? [08:44] but i think i got it extracted now [08:44] joshmclvl1: oh and booting from USB was just a temp idea so that i can do this on the same machine... i'm on my mom [08:44] ubuXubu: the program you use to burn your content will set whether to burn the data, or burn what's called an 'image'. i suggest you google and read up on the fundamentals of archives and burning. [08:44] eaerth: whatever it is its prolly to specialized to find, like a script calling nautilus to start it but then being recursively called or something [08:44] # iw dev wlan0 set freq 5240 [08:44] Aemaeth: Correct. I'm pretty sure that re-trying what I just tried, only not selecting filename encryption, would successfully decrypt and mount the files as before, but filenames would be encrypted, which is a bit inconvenient. [08:44] mom's* laptop... [08:44] WHY THIs doens't WORK!!! [08:44] ubuXubu If it's an ISO then it will be burned like an iso. everything else is just data and can be copied to a disc. [08:44] :( [08:44] no....ok i ll try again cause my english are not good :P [08:45] ejv ok then my program (brasero) will do the right thing [08:45] i want to install a theme on my mobile [08:45] stefanos: if your english isn't so great, there are subchannels for other languages [08:45] ejv and yes i have been reading all ove rhte place [08:45] Hello. Anybody knows a laserprinter which is quite good, yet affordable which works (without much ado) on ubuntu? [08:45] Andorin, i would triple check all of your numbers and datas, but if you have to do it that way then better than nothing? [08:45] but i cant go on with the procedure [08:45] ubuXubu: that depends all on you, programs are told what to do by their human counterparts [08:45] joshmclvl1: this is harshness... can i PM with you so i can see your messages easier? [08:45] eaerth: if you have the means to boot via usb and you can fix/reinstall for that then by all means.. Sucks that you have the issues though [08:45] stefanos: mobile = phone or laptop? [08:45] well thats what i thought ejv someone suggested brasera will choose [08:45] bunch of flooders [08:45] :/ [08:46] joshmclvl1: yeah i knowww!! if i can't fix it by tomorrow i'm hoping a friend of mine will stop over... he's pretty good with linux. [08:46] eek my card is no longer supported :S [08:46] phone......but the procedure uses a program that runs through dos [08:46] ejv its not an operating system its just common software so too me thats a data [08:46] looks like i need to make the open source driver work [08:46] ubuXubu: if the file(s) you extracted are image files (.iso, .img, .cue/.bin) then i suggest you tell brasero to burn the "image" to the disc. or you can keep making coasters... [08:46] atm its not detecting my screen size [08:46] any idea? [08:46] Hello. Anybody knows a laserprinter which is quite good, yet affordable which works (without much ado) on ubuntu? [08:46] joshmclvl1: thank you for helping in any case! i appreciate it. :) [08:46] eaerth: perhaps; I'm using xchat so I dont care much cus I have highlighted name stuff ;] [08:46] stefanos: this channel is for ubuntu support, that question does not belong here then [08:46] !enter | Laurenceb [08:46] Laurenceb: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:47] eaerth: no prob [08:47] ejv i will look again but i did not see this identified as anything [08:47] but i want to make all that through ubuntu :/ [08:47] joshmclvl1: haha nice, i'm using webchat ;S [08:47] stefanos: wine [08:47] ubuXubu Yeah that's a data cd. [08:47] eaerth: actually I dont mean to be a downer but I neeeeed sleep right now; it might be better for me to crash. Lo siento :( [08:47] and what phone uses dos... in 2010?! [08:47] i did that....but somehow when i connect my mobile phone through usb the program cant find it [08:47] ok ubuntunewbie [08:48] vega-:it's probably on AT&T ;) [08:48] joshmclvl1: no, go ahead i'm pretty much like... i don't even know. going to try searching it more indepth now that i know what the app is that was flooding the bar... but yeah, thanks a lot and take care! [08:48] iso is usually clearly labeled as iso from wut i have seen [08:48] this was not labeled as anything but rar === whatever is now known as Guest78372 [08:48] ubuXubu All you need to know is an If it's an ISO,IMG,CUE, or bin file then you tell Brassero to burn an image file. Everything else is a data file. [08:48] ok well it has no label at all [08:49] eaerth: if all else fails, you know it's whatever was loading nautilus. boot to txt mode, uninstall nautilus and install pcmanfm or something, see if that works. [08:49] but i wil ltake note of that thanks [08:49] eaerth: at least it will clear your gnome-panel [08:49] stefanos: what is your native language? your english is kinda hard to understand [08:49] something i dont understand, my graphics works ok from the live cd, why? [08:49] nice thanks man! [08:49] ubuXubu, didn't you say it was extracting in whatever archive manager you're using? [08:49] ax0a0x0a0x greek!!!! [08:49] hmm, is there a greek ubuntu channel.. [08:50] !greek [08:50] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [08:50] Laurenceb: what is your native language? [08:50] i said i chose extract and it said it did it..now it looks like a common orange file folder [08:50] english [08:50] it does not say iso or any of those things [08:50] anything in the folder? [08:50] yes 66bytes of something [08:50] is there an apt-get package I can install to test my cpu? e.g. calc PI or something? [08:50] i mean 556 mb's [08:50] Laurenceb: ok try to take your time and construct good, *detailed* questions. [08:50] i was going to say, that's not much [08:50] Aemaeth: Uh, I restarted and tried again straight from scratch, and now it appears to be working properly. Both files and filenames are decrypted. [08:51] can someone help me? [08:51] eaerth: I'm here to serve... I mean sleep; gnight! [08:51] i dragged the folder to brasero after it said i extracted it so maybe now its ready [08:51] stefanos: you might try going to #ubuntu-gr for help [08:51] Hello. Anybody knows a laserprinter which is quite good, yet affordable which works (without much ado) on ubuntu? [08:51] joshmclvl1: hahaha, gnite man! [08:51] Andorin, copy all yo need NOW, lets never go through this again! until next time anyway if you still encrypt home, i vote for a truecrypt image though [08:51] stefanos: please type /join #ubuntu-gr [08:51] so now a file folder is in brasero that appears to be the correct size [08:51] kjelle: echo "scale=300;4*a(1)" | bc -l [08:51] kjelle: replace 300 with 3000 :) [08:51] joshmclvl1: actually, do you think elementary-nautilus would have had anything to do with it? [08:52] Aemaeth: I actually don't need to copy anything.... just fyi. Nothing's wrong with the drive or filesystem. I wanted to do this as a trial run so I know how to do it when I DO need to recover my files. ;) [08:52] joshmclvl1: i installed that for breadcrumbs and did a few things to nautilus... [08:52] ubuXubu, this is tough for people because we don't know what the file is, so there's no telling what someone packaged it as, but the files in the folder don't look recognizable to you at all? [08:52] joshmclvl1: but yeha sorry, get some sleepies, later dude. [08:52] Diverdude1: any with network connection and postscript (hp or xerox)? [08:52] Laurenceb: Your graphics card works with the Live cd but not when you install? [08:52] ok, so i upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 on my acer aspire 5010 with ati radeon xpres1100, the screen resolution has not been detected, and i dont have an option to set the correct resolution - its widescreen monitor. The graphics seems to have defaulted to the open source driver as ati support is no longer avaliable [08:52] Aemaeth: I want to reboot a couple more times and make sure I can run it from scratch successfully. [08:52] Diverdude1: I've never had a problem with HP laser printers, everyone I've used has been plug & play, just need to add it as a printer, but you can check the hardware compatibility list for any specific models [08:52] !hcl | Diverdude1 [08:52] Diverdude1: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [08:52] Andorin, Ah, ok [08:52] eaerth:maybe, dunno the package really. [08:52] Diverdude1: find a selection at http://printer.ethz.ch === vincent is now known as Guest49565 [08:52] and the graphics resoltuinos is fine from the live cd, which is odd i think [08:52] Aemaeth, as i said the file had none of those labels...just the RAR [08:53] Andorin, now you know you wouldn't have been up a creek, but it's not fun either [08:53] port ubuntu to arm ? [08:53] Aemaeth, but i did extract it [08:53] Hello, anyone care to help me, i am trying to make a Xubuntu 10.10 install from USB but i have no access to unetbootin. What other options are there ? [08:53] Laurenceb: It's probably because it switched over to VESA mode on the live CD. [08:53] who can help me, port ubuntu to arm [08:53] right [08:53] !patience | asmcos [08:53] asmcos: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [08:53] Laurenceb, what model is your card? [08:54] oh my god, i think i just found a similar problem to mine - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/660342 [08:54] ati radeon xpress1100 [08:54] tarzeau, hmm but for home user a network printer might be a bit overkill...and too expensive [08:54] is anyone familiar with that? [08:54] Aemaeth: If I can successfully replicate the decryption a few times I can write myself a set of instructions for future reference that I will actually understand, as opposed to the not-100%-clear Ubuntu wiki steps. [08:54] i tried command dd if=xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb but it fails to boot from USB device [08:54] ubuXubu, but i'm not understanding something, in the folder that was extracted, there's size to it...but..there's no extensions? like .exe or .bin or .txt nothing? [08:54] exit [08:54] Diverdude1: how much pages will you print? [08:54] Andorin, do me a favore and fix a page [08:54] Aemaeth, there are no labels like that NONE [08:54] Andorin, esepcially on how to get that long string again, from typing in a password [08:54] Diverdude1: letting the things being made on fotopaper is cheaper than ink printers [08:55] Aemaeth: I can definitely do that [08:55] Diverdude1: if you don't want to buy a laserprinter, don't waste your money on ink [08:55] Aemaeth, i looked in file permoission all that looked everywhere for a label like that properties [08:55] Diverdude1: or don't get the colors, just a bw laser [08:55] ubuXubu, then where the heck did you get this thing? [08:55] Diverdude1: or share a laser color printer among neighbours/friends [08:55] Aemaeth, the only label it has ever had was th RAR and i did extract it [08:55] so here goes i guess [08:56] Diverdude1: in switzerland buildings with 2 to 8 parties, usually have a shared cellar room [08:56] Andorin, cause that's always my problem with that program, i typed in my standard password to get the string, so i can always get it back, but i go senile on how to ever see that string [08:56] one more tiny frisbee... [08:56] Diverdude1: that's where they also share solarium, sauna and the like [08:56] Aemaeth: he's become a help vampire, i suggest you call it quits before you get worn out friend :) [08:56] ejv, XD [08:56] Aemaeth: http://slash7.com/2006/12/22/vampires/ [08:56] I need a PDF viewer that allows hilighting, anyone have info? [08:56] i have burned many linux distros so i know what u all mean by iso etc... [08:57] if this is a linux distro you're working with, idk where you got it... [08:57] actually I suggest everyone reads that link ^ [08:57] ubuXubu After you extracted the rar what files came out of it? [08:57] has anyone experienced issues with nautilus spawning hundreds of times after log in? i found something similar on launchpad but no suggestions on how to go about fixing it... [08:58] that's really good ejv [08:58] Aemaeth: Great, I was able to do it again. You've been a big help, thank you very much =) [08:58] Aemaeth: spread the word. ;) [08:58] Hello, I just installed .10 and was wondering how I can get my wireless working with no other way to connect to the internet? I think I need ndisgtk but I can't download it? I am dual booting win7... [08:58] Andorin, it's been fun :D [08:58] I Was able to use Jaunty on the previous version [08:59] But there are no drivers listed on this version [08:59] TheSarge: so what have you tried? [08:59] eaerth, it's happened to me, i tried to mount a file using BASH, and nautilus said NO MORE! [08:59] why was nautilus involved? i'm baffled [08:59] TheSarge: i had the same problem - you have to go to additional drivers in admin properties [08:59] does anyone know why when i run "groups" vs. "groups " [09:00] ejv: Not much... Just know it says device not ready no firmware installed. === sam__ is now known as Samoi [09:00] i get different results [09:00] Aemaeth: right on, what did you do? [09:00] hi [09:00] there [09:00] eaerth: admin properties where? [09:00] teamfuos: did you read the manual? [09:00] how to reset mysql password ? [09:00] TheSarge: ahhhh, let me check real quick, i'm on a dif pc [09:00] TheSarge: try eaerth's recommendatoin, if not, I suggest your post the output of `sudo lspci -k` and /var/log/dmesg to pastebin, and share it with the channel. [09:00] i think i forgot it [09:01] ok [09:01] s/recommendatoin/recommendation/ [09:01] deleted my malicious script that i had added in, that's why i was asking if you were meddling around with anything before this happened, it was clearly my fault when this happened, i just didn't know WHY, but think back to what you were doing before it all went horribly wrong and you might find the answer [09:01] looked through more than read [09:01] ejv: What info are you looking for I can't reboot twice over and over to relay information lol [09:01] TheSarge: the full output of both would be nice [09:02] im fading quickly though, bed is calling me. [09:02] teamfuos: if you don't specify the username, it lists the groups associated with the current running process, which may differ from the groups database if you changed the groups the current user is in [09:02] TheSarge: try going to System > Administration > Additional Drivers and you should see something that applies to your wifi card, you just have to enable that and it should work. [09:02] besides the man doesn't have much content [09:02] TheSarge: but armed with both, you'll get MUCH more help here. [09:02] eaerth: That is Jaunty it has nothing I already looked [09:02] ok [09:02] oh you're using jaunty right now? [09:02] how do i update the groups database> [09:02] ? [09:02] It did on .04 so I am confused [09:03] eaerth: No I am in windows, just sayin I looked there and there are no drivers there [09:03] teamfuos: logout + relogin to make changes active to your user [09:03] ejv, that means my parents are help vampires :( idk how to feel about that, there's that responsibility i feel to not mock them, but they never google anything [09:03] Aemaeth: the only thing i can think of was i added elementary-nautilus to it and when i rebooted it started freaking outtt [09:03] Laurenceb, I can't remember where I read it, but I'm fairly sure your card should have at least 2d acceleration with the open source drivers. Maybe you have an old xorg.conf file left over from the upgrade, try deleting it [09:03] i restarted [09:04] no go [09:04] teamfuos: you can add groups and add users to groups using gpasswd, but the changes won't take effect until you log out [09:04] eaerth: It gives me some warning about no being able to connect to the internet then searches and finds nothing [09:04] okay [09:04] teamfuos: you are issuing groups command as the user yougive with "groups user"? whats the difference? [09:04] i ran "groupadd qdnet" [09:04] TheSarge: try googling wifi driver and quotes around "ubuntu 10.10" because it seems to be a common issue, when i first upgraded that's how i figured out what to do. you may have a different wifi card than me. [09:04] then "gpasswd -a username qdnet" [09:05] restarted the computer [09:05] and there is still a diiference [09:05] difference [09:05] would it be possible for someone to point me to prebuilt bin of aptitude? if one exists [09:05] teamfuos: does 'group username' say that username is in qdnet? [09:05] yes\ [09:05] How can I disable third mouse button emulation forever and for all users on my system? [09:05] eaerth: I just need to know how to get ndisgtk installed so I can use my windows driver [09:06] teamfuos: and 'group' doesn't? [09:06] alright ... i'm gonna try a re-install of nautilus perhaps....... hopefully this works. [09:06] correct [09:06] teamfuos: and you're logged in as username? [09:06] azertyu: /etc/init.d/mysql stop; mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &; mysql -u root; use mysql; update user set password=PASSWORD("NEW-ROOT-PASSWORD") where User='root'; flush privileges; quit; /etc/init.d/mysql stop; /etc/init.d/mysql start; mysql -u root -p; [09:06] correct [09:06] teamfuos: that is odd then [09:06] i know [09:06] i can't figure it out [09:06] TheSarge: i wish i could help - i was thinking you had the same problem i had when you upgraded that's why i suggested checking additional drivers. [09:06] lol [09:07] brb [09:07] it's been driving me a little crazy [09:07] jackass paid 250 grand for one of them [09:07] [01:01] * Trollindor (debian-tor@gateway/tor-sasl/trollindor) Quit ( Remote host closed the connection ) [09:07] [01:01] Hahaha, awesome.

[09:25] !ppa [09:25] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [09:25] TheSarge: sorry I was out. I don't think that is the chipset. [09:26] zy3g0: so it's not available [09:26] janisozaur: have you searched the ppa site? [09:26] zy3g0: you will have to wait [09:26] :o.... but i have the file.. :s.. [09:26] Gnea, yes, but the most promising ppa by "ubuntu mono maintainters" has prehistoric 2.0 release... [09:26] zy3g0: what file? [09:27] Gnea, there is also hardly any 2.6 [09:27] ziroday: How about HM55? [09:27] TheSarge: that is your motherboard. [09:27] janisozaur: then if there is anything, it's either versioned differently or very well hidden from official channels [09:27] Ya thats right it is an Intel HM55 Express Chipset [09:28] the of blenderCAD... :S well... i download one file BlenderCAD-0.1.tar.gz [09:28] janisozaur: Maverick has 2.6.7 in the repositories [09:28] That is the name of my chipset lol [09:28] How can use awk ... and compare two files?

One second and I'll pull up the broadcom instructions for you [09:29] ziroday: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Dell_Inspiron_1564 [09:29] tgywa: diff [09:29] in the file readme... only say [09:29] llutz_, how to use diff? [09:29] zy3g0: what is in the archive? [09:29] tgywa: man diff [09:29] ziroday: All the information linux related to my laptop is on this link http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Dell_Inspiron_1564 [09:29] TheSarge: I saw that, sure its the right laptop revision? === jack15 is now known as yohan14 [09:30] 1564? [09:30] ziroday, yeah, I know, but I'd like to try 2.8 [09:30] TheSarge: Your on a Dell Inspiron 1564? [09:30] ziroday: That pages says 1564 thats what my laptop is [09:30] Yes [09:30] TheSarge: right, give me a sec [09:30] TheSarge: Me too and I don't have any problems. [09:30] Hello!, are there any programs that do what follow ( make a usb flash stick copy everything automatically in the background when i insert it into a windows pc/laptop) ? [09:30] UbuntuNewbie: Yes [09:30] llutz_, ok ... [09:30] Well my wireless doesnt work [09:31] i hate broadcom :( [09:31] Says Device not ready firmaware not installed [09:31] I'll look at what I did. It gave me an option to install an STA driver and another. [09:31] allguru: this is not windows [09:31] allguru: You want a flash stick that when you plug it into a windows PC automatically copies stuff from the pc to the USB key? [09:31] UbuntuNewbie: Your wireless just worked with 10.10? [09:31] llutz_: and for linux, how? [09:31] janisozaur: well then you may have to compile from source. I can't find any PPAs that supply mono 2.8. Alternatively you may like to talk to Jo Shields the ubuntu mono maintainer [09:31] TheSarge Yes [09:31] god blessed me with an atheros chipset [09:31] itguru: yes! [09:31] TheSarge: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [09:32] allguru: it could be done via scripts [09:32] allguru: fortunately there is no such general mechanism === owen is now known as LemanRusas [09:32] allguru: Kinda like those things used by special agents in 24, and shady organisations on TV? [09:32] TheSarge: but yes, that card should "just work" which is why I am trying to confirm that it is your model [09:32] UbuntuNewbie: What gave you an option? Did you have your machine connected via ethernet or something? [09:32] allguru: create an udev-rule [09:32] Hey, anyone using AndRemote on an Android phone with Ubuntu? [09:32] itguru: there could be some legit uses with that [09:32] TheSarge: the livecd has drivers on it [09:32] i cant get it to work properly for some reason? [09:32] allguru: but all that has to be done at the PC, not the usb-stick [09:32] Gnea: like a windows batch file? , but i don't want to make the user feel that things are getting copied. [09:32] llutz: This is got windows! [09:32] ziroday: I used a USB drive to install [09:33] TheSarge No I just played with that little icon next to the sound icon and a minute later it asked me to install. [09:33] ziroday, I've lost my hope for readymade version and I just compile it from source. [09:33] here a day before some one asked about setting frequency of monitor in ubuntu, is that guy here now? [09:33] allguru: no, shell script, which is inifinately more powerful than a wimpy batch file === Guest47851 is now known as cartes [09:33] TheSarge: should still have been fine. Anyway follow the instructions I have you and you'll have wireless in no time [09:33] Im gunna go back and tinker some I guess wish me luck lol [09:33] itguru: ? [09:33] TheSarge Good Luck! [09:34] ziroday Yeah I think you found what he needed. [09:34] llutz - Typo, allguru is using windows, sorry, bad typing on my part :) [09:34] ziroday: Those nstructions require internet lol [09:34] I have my $LANG set to Chinese. How can I set what shows up in English to one font, and what shows up in Chinese to another? [09:34] Gnea: windows has no shell scripts? [09:34] allguru: of course, if you're new and looking for a quick solution, sorry, that's one thing you won't find [09:34] itguru: then he asked how to do it in linux, read carefully [09:34] TheSarge: they have a specific section titled "No internet access" [09:34] But thx for trying [09:34] oh [09:34] UbuntuNewbie: you are identified as Newbie but your words are advanced ;) [09:34] TheSarge: I'd recommend at least reading the contents page on the right [09:35] pksadiq: hehe thanks. I'm still learning though. :) [09:35] allguru: I suggest you learn how bash works if you want to ever consider yourself a linux power-user [09:35] llutz - There was a delay in my response, I have since noticed that - But thank you for the warning [09:35] anyhow, I gotta jet for a bit [09:35] hey, i just installed ubuntu 10.10, however i had to use the nomodeset option for the installer so i could install it. now i have to edit my grub line in order to use my OS...however on bootup i dont see any "press (some key) to see grub boot menu" like i previously did....has this changed in 10.10? [09:35] TheSarge: b43/STA - No Internet access [09:35] Gnea, if you're in #ubuntu-offtopic can you read my question? [09:35] :( [09:36] Gnea: WOW, there are some bash emulators for windows [09:36] allan8904: yes, you need to hold shift to see the grub menu [09:36] ziroday: thanks :) [09:36] pksadiq: powershell shipped with Windows 7 has a very similar bash like interface [09:36] pksadiq: theres bash for windows too, also lots of gnu-utils [09:36] llutz_, ok ..I got the difference ... with diff file1 file2 ... but what is the option ... to get those only in file 1? [09:37] but that almost seems like running wine in linux, frowned upon and shameful [09:37] tgywa: idk [09:38] ziroday: :O wheres the menu.lst gone?

I am having some problems with it. Would it be a smart idea to do a clean install? If so, how could I do it so I don't lose everything I have, yet I can get the benefit of clean installing?

[09:48] Does Ubuntu have a default app launcher? [09:48] Sp4m3R: The bug was on the version that is used to create the usb stick, not the actual version that gets put onto the stick, so if you used 10.04 to create a 10.10 usb stick, that was failing. If the system is up to date though, that bug has since been fixed so shouldn't be a problem now === sefskj is now known as _1nVad3r_DnB [09:49] Sp4m3R: This is the bug I'm thinking of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/659756 but as I say, if you're system has been updated, that shouldn't be a problem now [09:49] I have my / and /home on different partitions.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:49] im here and was just asking if this is where i might go for help with ubuntu [10:49] xixor: gnome-do [10:50] I just wiped my comp from windows xp ( it was bugging out, loss of data and what not) to ubuntu mearkat 64 bit... Why would it seem like it is lagging on everything.. It seems like I have to wait too long to do anything. [10:50] brent, what kind of help are you looking for? [10:50] cool! so is there any way to get fglrx to work for legacy cards in the new ubuntu? [10:50] _2F_: Replace all two pages of instructions with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". When prompted, select both drives as install devices. [10:51] for Ubuntu 10.04 should I use the native nvidia driver, or something else? The screen seem to turn black when startx starts.

[10:52] c_nick: sudo netstat -anopt [10:52] _2F_: Or replace basically all of the instructions in that guide, as Ubuntu's alternate install CD can set up all of that automatically. [10:52] I'm trying to use duplicity with cron to do automatic backups over ssh, but i keep getting an Invalid SSH password error. I'm using RSA keys, and I specified a passphrase-less key especially for using this, and set up authorized_keys to accept it and all that. When I run the backup script on the command line it works just fine. I'm completely at a loss. [10:53] Kubuntu Maverick comes with KDE client for UbuntuOne? [10:53] kjelle: and suppose we dont want that certain someone connected any way we can disconnect him from the pc ? [10:53] sudo shutdown 0 -r [10:54] glaucous: make the system not use the timer of the lapic ( local automatic interrupt controller )? from kernel docs -> nolapic_timer [X86-32,APIC] Do not use the local APIC timer. [10:54] Aemaeth: What does 0 do in that command? [10:55] sresu: Aemaeth: "sudo shutdown -r now" is more clear. [10:55] erUSUL, okay because I got a tip to use that parameter to stop by boot from hanging (often at ATA devices, fixed by pushing power button, and it continues). Although somehow it kills OpenGL performance in some applications. [10:56] Why would a comp lag when in 64 bit.. Although I am not sure if it does in 32 bit also .. but ... using uname -u ( I believe is the command) it comes back as x86_64 === Cariyla is now known as Gerwin [10:57] Jordan_U: Yes [10:57] uname -m *** [10:57] Hello, with which command I can clear a folder cache?

[10:58] anyone know how to configure the alsa pulse plugin?

If i decide not to go with kde is there an easy way to remove everything that was added? [11:02] momentum_, you might try #ubuntu-beginners for simpler questions like that. [11:02] Aemaeth, i think you could do sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop [11:02] Is there any problem with Ubuntu10.10's Update... It says some index file error and Signature error when start doing "sudo apt-get update"... Please HELP !!!

[11:48] meh i always do a+x [11:48] soreau: no luck ... it says "Request entity too large" [11:48] cedega is still being developed, but it costs money, and wine works for everything i need it to [11:49] Ben64: The point of Cedega is DX support for gaming.. Wine doesnt do DX [11:49] virtualbox is free and an awesome vm [11:49] if you need certain windows stuff [11:49] TheSarge: wine in fact DOES do dx [11:49] i use it for IE and photoshop, works fine [11:50] wine can be a pain to setup [11:50] greenmang0: head -n 5000 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us [11:50] soreau: what if i remove xserver-xorg-video-fbdev? [11:50] If it has DX support it is old and broken lol [11:50] at least in the past [11:50] j0rd: sudo apt-get wine? :P === coryclaxon is now known as Cory` [11:50] greenmang0: No, don't start removing things [11:50] apt-get install wine lol [11:50] TheSarge: why so angry [11:50] wine does awesome dx, im making my windows game on linux using wine :) [11:50] and cross compiler [11:50] wine works awesome [11:50] Ben64: ya, I'm sure that works for all programs [11:50] Ben64: and that you won't have to download DLLs and stuff to get certain programs to work [11:50] Ben64: but you can pretend that'll work [11:50] lol I just looked and Winde does DX 7 lmao [11:51] Thats gunna run MW2 lol [11:51] yeah because cedega has perfect compatability >.> [11:51] TheSarge: derp it does at least dx9 [11:51] Nope [11:51] Ben64: no, but vbox does. Which is why i recommended it. Not for games though. Would be slow [11:51] yep. [11:51] lol [11:51] The point of cedega is gaming lol [11:51] soreau: http://sprunge.us/PJRV [11:51] hello the point of cedega is making them rich [11:51] If you want to game (imho) boot into windows [11:52] I don't even see how people can make linux apps that cost money [11:52] they just take wine source and change name to cedega [11:52] greenmang0: ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us [11:52] if they make it better and people are willing to pay for it, what's the problem? [11:52] Ben64 lol no they take wine and add DX 11 support and also work to make popular games work mow [11:53] cause cedega isn't better [11:53] if you don't like it, you can run wine and stop wine'ing [11:53] then run wine and your life is the same [11:53] Cedega is better or it wouldn't be around lol [11:53] TheSarge: you need to get your facts correct [11:53] any could explain why my internal mic is not working with skype [11:53] are there any bluetooth head sets that don't require much configuration? [11:53] My facts are correct Wine supports DX7... [11:53] and dx8 and dx9 [11:53] soreau: http://sprunge.us/KgWG [11:53] Read the wiki lmao [11:53] No it doesnt lol [11:54] it wont run ANY game made in the last 5 years lol go read. [11:54] what wiki [11:54] greenmang0: Try rebooting the computer [11:54] The Wine Wiki...

(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9975781) [11:55] greenmang0: That doesn't matter [11:55] soreau: ok [11:55] greenmang0: Get rid of /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:55] who can help me [11:55] It says on that pahe this plugin is highly unstable and is not compatible with MOST 3d Games lmao.

[11:56] TheSarge: stop trolling now [11:56] multiget is for single files. not directories.

[11:57] soreau: sure [11:57] Wine Version 1.2-rc3 [11:57] learn to read you idiot [11:57] I am ignoring thos trollio sorry guys. [11:57] what is current kernel name? [11:57] anyone please [11:57] soreau: is greenman having the same troubles as me? [11:58] eaerth: sort of [11:58] could any one fix my problem with mic [11:58] juk: kernel name? [11:58] Spyzer: You can do it a few ways. What is the problem you're having specifically? [11:58] soreau: right on. did you get my link, btw? [11:58] Hi [11:58] juk: kernels have versions, but i don't think they have names [11:58] eaerth: If you posted your X log I didn't see it [11:59] actually i am running an opencl kernel on the graphics card, but the moment i do it the GUI of my system becomes unresponsive forever [11:59] soreau: ahhhh, k. here it is: http://paste-bin.com/view/f559f906 [11:59] tensorpudding: oh, version then, would you tell me, please? [11:59] that's why i wish to have the GPU enabled but the GUI running without it [11:59] juk: oh hey, they do have names, 2.6.35 is Sheep on Meth [11:59] so if you may please tell me a way to achieve that [12:00] soreau [12:00] Hello [12:00] ravma: after installing did you reboot system? also in sound preferences at panel select input Tab, and you can change input microphone [12:00] juk: uname -r will tell you the version you're running [12:00] Do you know any good dvd burning software apart fro k3b and brasero? [12:01] racionalist: why not use k3b? its awesome [12:01] tensorpudding: and next two numbers before generic? [12:01] Ben64 Because new kde is bloated and slow [12:01] i didnt restart [12:01] TheSarge: http://www.cedega.com/gamesdb/games/view.html?game_id=5303 [12:01] eaerth: Looks like you have old libdrm, mesa or other driver components installed. Is this an upgrade from 10.04? [12:01] i can do it now [12:01] dosn't work in cedega [12:01] :D [12:01] soreau:?? [12:01] soreau: no, i did a fresh install a couple days ago, [12:02] racionalist: you can use k3b without using kde [12:02] input level is not atall moving [12:02] My GNOME panel and desktop are missing [12:02] :( [12:02] But I dont want toi install kdebase [12:02] juk: i think that's an ubuntu thing, but i'm not sure [12:02] unamplified 100 like this it showing [12:02] soreau: worked!! [12:02] racionalist: why not : / [12:02] Ben64: worked!! [12:02] soreau: i've been trying to figure out how to upgrade drivers on here through google but haven't had any luck really.... [12:02] greenmang0: :D [12:02] greenmang0: what did though? [12:02] Ben64 Because I dont want any kde apps :) [12:02] :( [12:03] racionalist: well thats fail logic [12:03] Spyzer: You voided your warranty when you installed this 'opencl kernel' [12:03] juk: possibly it's the number of revisions made to the package, or something [12:03] Ben64: installation of xserver-xorg-driver-intel should have done the trick [12:03] Spyzer: You can't get support here [12:03] Ben64 Fair logic :) [12:03] soreau: Ben64: thanks !!! [12:03] greenmang0: Great! ;-) [12:03] you just don't like kde, doesn't make sense [12:04] okay but if u can still just tell me a way to remove my desktop control from graphics card and give it to CPU [12:04] please [12:04] eaerth: Alright standby [12:04] Ben64 I have old pc and k3b works SLOW [12:04] racionalist: thats why you can use k3b on any desktop :| [12:04] soreau: no problem, thanks a lot for helping me, btw. :) [12:04] gnome, xfce, anything [12:05] I have ssh'd into a machine and am running a process that's gonna take a long time to complete. How do I detach it from the controlling terminal so that it does not terminate when I logout (or accidently lose connection -- which is a real possibility?) [12:05] soreau: I was wondering why my desktop effects are not working properly ... so this was the reason :) [12:06] eaerth: I really don't know why it would be failing on a clean install.. did it work on a live cd? (compiz, etc?) [12:06] greenmang0: indeed it was [12:06] greenmang0: Yes. [12:06] greenmang0: the intel driver isn't the best but you were using vesa which doesn't do a whole lot really [12:06] ravma: hello [12:06] elvisds: it's probably best to use screen, so you can reattach later. But if you've already started it, just "disown" it [12:06] soreau: i was actually having no problems at all up until last night and i'm having trouble figuring out what would have changed. it worked fine right after the clean install. [12:07] so i guess TheSarge works for cedega trying to get everyone here to buy it [12:07] soreau: ok [12:07] cause mw2 works in wine but not in cedega [12:07] epic fail right [12:07] eaerth: It indicates a package version mismatch between the driver bits. While you should probably file a bug against ubuntu, you probably could get it working by installing xorg-edgers repo [12:07] hi does anyone know how to change the location bar for ubuntu to directory ? [12:08] hmm no help then..... [12:08] Spyzer: Use official ubuntu packages [12:08] I mean at home the top , you'll see location bar tab , but I wanted it back to directory ubuntu/home/Desktop something like that [12:08] elvisds: you know how to do this? [12:08] any one know how to do it ? [12:08] soreau: i honestly would rather not file a bug because like i said it was working fine... i'm not sure if something i did caused it or if it was from an update. though, how would you recommend installing that xorg-edgers repo? [12:09] soreau: just google it up or something? [12:09] jrib: I have already started it... I use nohup otherwise. Should I do disown ? [12:09] eaerth: Which card did you say you have? [12:09] elvisds: did you start it in the background? [12:09] under the view tab , there's only an option to disable location bar === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [12:09] jrib: no, in fg [12:10] elvisds: ctrl-z, bg, disown %JOB_NUMBER [12:10] soreau: i have amd integrated motherboard with ATI radeon xpress 200M graphics === sorah_off is now known as sora_h [12:10] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [12:10] soreau : hi [12:10] nbubuntu: hello [12:10] soreau you know how to change the location bar for ubuntu to directory ? [12:11] nbubuntu: I do not understand that question [12:11] I mean at home the top , you'll see location bar tab , but I wanted it back to directory ubuntu/home/Desktop something like that [12:11] anyone here ever have gnome-panel and nautilus not start when they log in? [12:11] soreau: i was looking up a newer driver for ati for catalyst 10.x but couldn't find anything for linux x86 [12:11] jrib: awesome! Thanks [12:11] eaerth: Erm.. catalyst driver does *not* support your card [12:12] I'm not getting a gnome-panel or desktop when I log in; why? [12:12] eaerth: If you install it, all bets are off [12:12] soreau: i know my card is 64 bit but i decided to just try 32 bit for the clean install and was actually working great up until the other day. totally didn't install anything as of yet though! [12:12] soreau , sorry to disturb , I found the way , http://ubuntuguide.net/make-nautilus-always-use-location-entry-in-ubuntu-10-04 [12:13] eaerth: Oh my, I totally missed that in the log [12:13] soreau : thanks :) [12:13] eaerth: You have fglrx glx module installed [12:13] soreau: however, i did install ati ccc through synaptic and then uninstalled it because it wasn't working. ;S [12:13] soreau: correct [12:13] eaerth: Remove fglrx packages and run the uninstall script in /usr/share/ati if you installed with the .run from AMD site. Then, remove xorg.conf completely and reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and -dri packages [12:13] brb [12:14] soreau: had read on either an ubuntu forum or the glx-dock forum about upgrading to catalyst 10.5 or something other. [12:14] soreau: okay, and should i still do the xorg edgers repo? [12:15] <[SOLEIL]> Hi There, just installed Ubuntu 10.10 for netbook on a Acer Aspire one. On boot up, I just get flashing cursor in top left corner. It was a compelte install and I have tried the process twice. Any advice? [12:15] eaerth: after all of that and cold rebooting, optionally, yes [12:15] soreau: alright, thanks a lot. i'll try this out and i return with my progress. :) [12:17] hi is there a nice gui for mysql in ubuntu? I can't seem to find a way to install gnome-db or mergeant. === xixor2 is now known as xixor [12:17] lol mysql gui. the closest you might get is php-myadmin [12:18] rhlee: iirc postresql had gui [12:18] rhlee: there was a mysql-query-browser and mysql-admin gui from sun [12:18] soreau: p.s. should i also remove - fglrx-modaliases, jockey-common, jockey-gtk and xserver-xorg-video-radeon? [12:18] rhlee: have a look at the website if oracle is also providing it [12:19] can anybody help me remove this package mentioned in http://suigeneris.pastebin.com/PXKwVphe ? [12:19] ok thanks guys [12:20] Kartagis: why do you need to [12:20] Ben64 because it just hangs [12:21] mysql-admin is in the repos [12:21] Ben64 just like tesseract-ocr did yesterday [12:22] #freedom_jack [12:22] Kartagis: you will have to sudo dpkg -r upstart and mountall [12:22] freedom_jack [12:22] soreau: also, there is no ati directory in usr/share. [12:22] freedom_jack: What is that is meant by your words? [12:22] hi, ani one know how add icon in gnome system menu ? [12:23] Kartagis: how do you know that is the cause of the problem [12:23] caemir: System > preferences > main menu > new item [12:24] gconftool-2 --type Boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons True Thx :D [12:24] Ben64 I can see that it hangs [12:24] what can i use to make backup images of my ext4 and ntfs file system partitions? [12:25] Kartagis: but how [12:25] libnih-dbus1 isn't something that pops up in the process list [12:25] this is bad news bears, did soreau go mia? :( [12:26] Ben64 http://suigeneris.pastebin.com/xWXZB035 is me trying to do-release-upgrade and quitting after a while, and that is the first package [12:26] guys, I have updated to ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook, however now it is kind of 'stuck' while loading into X. I can however do ctr-alt-del and get back into login screen [12:27] how do I find the cause of this? [12:27] i love that game. [12:27] eaerth: I am here [12:27] pksadiq exactly that? I mean sudo dpkg -r upstart? [12:27] lol eaerth :) why do I hear it more in recent years than ever before? :D [12:27] where is the new xorg.conf in 10.10? [12:28] soreau: sorry, i didn't mean to sound pushy. did you get the two previous messages i sent? [12:28] carmageddon: hahaha, i have no idea... i haven't played it in eons. probably like 12 or more years. ;S [12:28] albacker_, mine is still in /etc/X11 [12:28] pksadiq will that not hurt? [12:28] eaerth: Don't remove -radeon. You can remove modalises package but not jockey. Just anything with 'fglrx' in the name [12:28] Kartagis: I think it's not safe, any way go to terminal and type sudo dpkg -r upstart [12:28] c0nv1ct: theres no such file in that folder thats why :/ [12:29] albacker_, then create one :) [12:29] eaerth: -radeon is the open driver that does support your card [12:29] lol.. oh and btw, when I add argument text in grub, go to text mode, do rm on /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then startx it works, but only until next reboot :( === Vhogue is now known as derp [12:29] c0nv1ct: is there a way to create it by default? [12:29] Hello everyone can i break in real fast [12:29] then I am again stuck in graphics mode unless I do ctrl-alt-del and only can go back to login screen [12:29] Kartagis: it's very danger to be removed [12:29] albacker_, your driver's can if you use ati or nvidia, otherwise there's also `X -configure` [12:30] Carmageddon: you should make a xorg.conf that works then [12:30] pksadiq dpkg: error processing upstart (--remove): [12:30] dependency problems - not removing [12:30] soreau: okay and also, the only xorg.conf i found was in the /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/examples directory, is this the right file? [12:30] I have a Question [12:30] in terminal type man upstart , to find out its importance [12:30] eaerth: No, the file that might not exist in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:30] Ben64 how? if it loads up upin removing it, why next reboot it wont? [12:30] I dont even know what I [12:30] shopuld write there [12:30] Carmageddon: why does it create one [12:31] pksadiq so why do you have me remove it? [12:31] eaerth: Then reinstall libgl-mesa-glx and -dri packages and cold boot the machine [12:31] Carmageddon: Try to complete your question in a line :) [12:31] !ask | dwayne_ [12:31] dwayne_: 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. :-) [12:31] yes sorry pksadiq, not used to this keyboard on a friend's comp :) [12:32] is there a program to create backup images of my ext4 partitions? [12:32] Kartagis: you said to remove something like lib... the only way to remove is uninstalling these too [12:32] !backup > brent_ [12:32] brent_, please see my private message [12:32] soreau: alright yeah, that file indeed doesn't exist. i'm going to remove those fglrx files and then reinstall the other ones and see how it goes. thanks so very much, again! [12:33] eaerth: no problem. [12:33] every time i restart my computer with Ubuntu ver 10.04 its says Disk error press any key to restart how do i fix this [12:33] after doing so it boots normaly [12:33] dwayne_: you could boot a live cd, and 'fsck' the filesystems by hand. [12:34] dwayne_: could be somthing odd with the disks, going bad, or system some how shutting down improperly [12:34] k [12:35] im a nob at Ubuntu i said f it to windows so im still learning this system [12:35] brb everyone [12:36] what does pHR mean at the output of dpkg -l ?

[12:46] hello. Is there a way to find out the "parent-process" of a process that is shown as "uninterruptable"? [12:46] willemb: never noticed. I rarely use zenitgeist. I tend to not do much 'real work' [12:46] can partimage do ext4 yet? [12:47] Ben64 how? once I get into gui mode I can only return to login menu, and choose reboot [12:47] and where is the xorg log? [12:47] huh? i thought you said you could get to gui [12:48] yes but once there, it stuck I only see wallpaper, and X cursor. can only get back to user login screen [12:48] Carmageddon: what video card do you have [12:48] anyone help. Loaded 10.10 on my netbook and it will not boot - flashing cursor in top left. It was a clean install (repeated twice). I tried sudo update-grub from LiveCD, but command would not run.

[12:49] any ideas on how I can fix my libnih-dbus1 problem? [12:50] it hangs while uggrading [12:50] one of the features was it could reinstall grub with little hassles.

You'll need all the dependancies though. Otherwise find an internet connection and save yourself some trouble [12:52] but Ben64, thing is as I explained, that I see graphics wallpaper and X curosr loading, then its stuck there until I go back to user login screen and reboot into text mode. are we sure its X at all? [12:53] Carmageddon: its the most likely [12:53] I've asked before release and thought it would be fixed, but, is there a problem with samba or something? I don't see my shares when I goto - Places > Network. Instead I have to manually input them in Places > Connect to Server.. [12:53] am i better off upgrading from lucid to maverick or doing a fresh install? [12:53] Carmageddon: your gnome could be fsck'd up. That would be a pain to fix. You'd have to google and figure it out yourself. [12:53] sjokkis: fresh install. i would say. [12:53] ubuntuforums is the best place to look Carmageddon for something like that [12:54] sjokkis: ive not heard of many upgrade issues..

'ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep' [12:54] sjokkis: i always jeep /home/ on its own hd.. and do clean installs.. good for cleaning out cruft [12:55] yeah, me too. though admittedly, most cruft is in /home [12:55] sjokkis: rule of thumb with ubuntu is wait a month, then upgrade to a new release to avoid problems in my experience. Of course I don't take my own advice and usually spend a day searching google and resolving issues [12:55] soreau: ahhhh, i'm not sure honestly. i ran that command and nothing happened. ;S [12:55] eaerth: There's your problem [12:55] eaerth: Compiz isn't running ;) [12:55] oh boy [12:55] hahaha [12:55] j0rd: i need to stay current if i'm gonna contribute efficiently. honestly, i probably should have run the beta [12:56] sjokkis: what do you contribute? [12:56] soreau: just run "compiz" ? [12:56] sjokkis: then why you even asking. If you gonna contribute, you should know how to resolve your issues:) [12:56] eaerth: compiz --replace from Alt+F2 run dialog [12:56] j0rd: sure, i know how to resolve issues. i was asking in order to minimize them [12:56] soreau: i'm sorry i'm such a n00b... i've only been running ubuntu loosely since karmic. [12:57] Ben64: sekrat right now, i think. i'd have to check with the team if what we're doing right now is public [12:57] eaerth: or the ubuntu way in sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects> <-- anything other than None is compiz [12:57] soreau: oh yeah, i've had to run that quite a few times in lucid when compiz would shit out on me. [12:57] sjokkis: you should be fine with an upgrade. I've never had any major problems. only minor ones [12:57] i've been running ubuntu since edgy eft [12:57] but it's not secret because it's particularily interesting. mostly because we don't want to give people hueg expectashuns [12:57] ! language | eaerth [12:57] eaerth: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[12:59] !cron | phanindra [12:59] phanindra: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [12:59] eaerth: right. You actually have 3D again [12:59] phanindra: see the "GUI" section [12:59] phanindra: root isn't a command? [12:59] phanindra: use the full path to any scripts/commands is a good idea. what is that command supposed to do? [12:59] momentum_: i think it's called 'apt pinning' . Google it [13:00] Memnochxx: expect issues :) [13:00] soreau: very very nice. [13:00] err momentum_ expect issues :) [13:00] Hi, when I boot Ubuntu Server, I get "/dev/mapper/servername-root: contains a file system with errors, check forced." which causes it to scan. At 70% I get "/dev/mapper/servername-root: Duplicate or bad block in use!" and then it just stops. [13:00] Dr_Willis, it supposed to opnen my home page [13:00] Is there any way to perform a scan before loading certain entries? [13:00] phanindra: you really dont want cron to be running GUI type apps.. what if your user isent logged in... [13:00] phanindra: why do you have root in there [13:00] soreau: OMG IT WORKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much, man. you are my hero!! :D [13:00] Still wanting various opinions: has anyone extensively used both ubuntu and freebsd as an end user with GUI's? I'm a noob trying to decide which to go with. I currently have ubuntu installed. [13:00] ubottu, thank you. I will go through the pages [13:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:01] phanindra: and why not just click menu -> places -> home? [13:01] eaerth: np. Just remember the only versions of fglrx that support your card can only work with ubuntu versions intrepid and before [13:01] does 10.10 boot any faster than 10.04? [13:01] eaerth: But there's no need for it since the open radeon driver was such great 3D support now [13:02] has* [13:02] depend on your installation software [13:02] jord [13:02] soreau: are you serious? radeon actually works now? [13:02] soreau: might i add that the flickering is also null and void for the moment! [13:02] I just tried to boot into ubuntu for the first time on a ub drive but i got an error on boot. "No configuration file found" [13:02] Ben64: Yes, I can play doom3 and etqw on my radeon 9600 [13:02] this is great. [13:02] Usb* [13:02] soreau: what about stuff in wine? [13:02] eaerth: It will get better once you discover gallium [13:03] Ben64: Yep, I have GTA san andreas working [13:03] Superman097: obviously. But in the past they've focused on optimizing the speed. between certain major versions there were noticable improvements. I'm asking if work was done to improve 10.10 over 10.04 in boot speed [13:03] yeah, i briefly googled it - is it a pain to get it working too? [13:03] soreau: is the GTA bought legally? or cracked? [13:03] spartan07: like if I upgrade, I'll have the same bootup apps. Will 10.10 be faster than 10.04. Because I have no other reason based on features to upgrade to 10.10 [13:03] soreau: wait you have san andreas running on your machine - what are your specs? presumably better than mine... [13:03] Ben64,i am learning to how to do a particular task at a time. Its not exactly to open ,y home page. I just wanted to check if it works through cronjobs [13:03] Ben64: they are working with wine devs to improve the support for the radeon driver too, directly [13:04] Hi, when I boot Ubuntu Server, I get "/dev/mapper/servername-root: contains a file system with errors, check forced." which causes it to scan. At 70% I get "/dev/mapper/servername-root: Duplicate or bad block in use!" and then it just stops. [13:04] eaerth: 2.8Ghz P4, 1GB ram rv3500 (Radeon 9600) [13:04] phanindra: so .... why do you have root in there [13:04] Is there any way to perform a scan before loading certain entries? [13:04] rv350* [13:04] eaerth: rv350, not 3500 [13:04] phanindra: test with a non-gui app also... [13:04] soreau: ahhh, yeah you have way more ram than i... i believe i have 512 ram and also just over half of your cpu. [13:04] phanindra: also there is "at" [13:04] Thelz: you can change it. I have no idea how though. If it's not in rc.d folders. I wouldn't know where to look. rc2.d has your init scripts. look in there [13:05] "at now + 5 minutes" [13:05] phanindra: the 'beep' command could play some tone if you want to just test out the different cron features.. [13:05] then type command, and enter, and ctrl+d [13:05] "m h dom mon dow user command": these are the fields to be filled , so for the user field i have given root [13:05] j0rd: I can't even get anywhere at the moment, since it does that on start. [13:05] eaerth: yea, it needs a bit of a get for cpu too but without the 3D mesa driver, you got nothin [13:05] Thelz: boot into safe mode [13:05] s/get/kick [13:05] phanindra: no... [13:05] * soreau must be getting sleepy [13:05] j0rd: It still did it in safe mode [13:05] Thelz: or boot off a CD and try and fix [13:06] soreau: it's a big pile of cow poops. but on that topic - would you recommend nvidia when i upgrade to a desktop? [13:06] soreau: take a bath ;) [13:06] Thelz: boot of CD and mount/fix your disk [13:06] phanindra: http://blog.linuxvin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/crontab-syntax.gif [13:06] Ben64, what do you mean by "no"? [13:06] eaerth: No actually I would recommend investing in newer Radeon graphics models [13:06] read the link i just posted [13:06] Ben64, "m h dom mon dow user command": these are the fields to be filled , so for the user field i have given root [13:06] i'm honestly hooked on ubuntu... the only gripes i have with it is adobe compatibility. [13:06] Thelz: sounds like hardware issue though. May want to look at replacing that disk before you lose your data [13:06] soreau: no doubt... [13:06] eaerth: adobe what? [13:07] j0rd: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is [13:07] how do I kill the update manager= [13:07] ? [13:07] after everybody upgraded to 10 [13:07] I've been noticing problems a short while ago, and since then have been moving the files off the server [13:07] eaerth: They are writing a gallium driver that's already working on HD2-5xxx cards and it's all open source with AMD paying radeon devs to work on the open driver full time, it's really taking off in a big way [13:07] sorry [13:07] Thelz: i'd buy another disk. Install onto that. Mount your old drive and move over your important files. [13:07] ben64: photoshop and dreamweaver mainly. i ran them on virtualbox for a while but my cpu just can't handle it for the moment. [13:07] But it went slowly [13:07] eaerth: photoshop works fine in wine, dunno about dreamweaver [13:07] Hello all, can someone help me to fix a problem that a got with my intel wireless network after upgrade to ubuntu 10.10? [13:07] Dr_Willis, yeah i will try and get back to you, thanks for your responce [13:07] sometimes, when I click the scroll bar in firefox and other programs, the mouse sticks and when I lift the left mouse buttons it still holds on the the scroller. Does anyone know if this is a glitch or a feature, and if it is a feature, how do I get it to happen [13:08] soreau: i really like that a lot... the open source community is getting the respect it deserves finally! [13:08] Thelz: ya, linux is wierd like that. If you notice wierd problems. It's most likely hardware. Time to start backing up ;) [13:08] phanindra: did you look at my link? there is no user section [13:08] j0rd: I was, but it went very very slowly for a while [13:08] ben64: which version of photoshop though, have they gotten cs4 to run in it yet? [13:08] and this morning it just stopped [13:08] yeah i think cs4 works [13:08] :O [13:08] wait [13:08] http://appdb.winehq.org/ <-- is your friend :) [13:08] Thelz: computer won't work, if it's physically broken. so that makes sense [13:08] I tried an earlier safe mode [13:08] eaerth: OTOH, nouveau driver devs are having to reverse engineer things because nvidia still offers no support to open source development of any kind [13:09] CS4 (11.0) Released Oct 2008. Platinum [13:09] see i didn't know that... [13:09] j0rd: Yeah, I know... but I was still able to access most of the files on the Samba File Server [13:09] yeah cs4 works perfectly apparently [13:09] Ben64, but " m h dom mon dow user command" this is the line above all the sceduled jobs in /etc/crontab [13:09] i use cs1 [13:09] so I was drawing what I could to one of the other computers [13:09] Thelz: boot off CD and don't boot off that drive anymore. You should be able to get at your files until the disk is complete crap [13:09] phanindra: don't edit it there -.- [13:10] phanindra: do "crontab -e" [13:10] anyhow, I just tried an older safe mode, and it reported an inconsistency, but gave me a prompt after [13:10] Thelz: make sure you use your time wisely when that disk is open though. Consider it a fixed time frame until it's busted [13:10] its the 'users command' not 'username command' Perhaps? [13:10] can I do anything from there? [13:10] ben64: thanks for that link, man. :) and also, is wine like a virtual machine or what? does it take up as much memory as virtual box does when i run photoshop? because that thing was a soul sucking jerk... [13:10] this channel is for Ubuntu, but saying all about windows apps, Why ? :x [13:10] eaerth: its just like running on windows [13:10] Thelz: boot from CD and mount the disk [13:10] Ben64, yeah, here there is no user fiels [13:10] Ben64, yeah, here there is no user field [13:10] I'm also not 100% sure if it's the disk or the controller [13:11] Thelz: I'd still boot from CD, mount the disk and move the files off [13:11] ben64: very nice. [13:11] soreau: thanks a lot for the help man, i can't tell you how much i appreciate it. [13:11] j0rd: My Linux/Ubuntu knowledge ain't very good... would need someone talking me through [13:11] (it's one file server in a network of Windows computers) [13:11] eaerth: the problem is a virtual machine emulates an entire computer, while wine just translates windows calls to linux ones [13:11] soreau: and btw, i don't remember if i asked you how painstaking it would be to install gallium on my machine? [13:11] Thelz: put a CD in the CDRom. Use that to boot. use `mount` to mount the disk [13:11] Ben64, "45 17 * * * sh /home/phanindraramesh/script.sh" will it execute the script? [13:11] Thelz: then use `cp` to move the files [13:11] Ben64, "45 17 * * * sh /home/phanindraramesh/script.sh" will it execute the script at 5:45 pm? [13:11] phanindra: it should [13:12] very nice, i'm definitely going to look into it now that i know cs4 runs in it. [13:12] cs5 works too, but not as flawless [13:12] eaerth: It's too easy with xorg-edgers repo [13:12] phanindra: make the script executable.. and you wont need the sh. [13:12] Ben64, i have added it now.do i need to restart my computer ? [13:12] soreau: nice, i'll give it a shot. [13:12] phanindra: it will run "sh /home/phanindraramesh/script.sh" at 5:45pm [13:12] phanindra: use /bin/sh and yes, its executing at 17:45 [13:12] might i find it in synaptic btw? [13:12] phanindra: you just need to save and exit the editor [13:13] phanindra: you can also do a "crontab -l" to see what you've got [13:13] phanindra: are you sure you want to use "sh"? [13:13] ben64: i'm actually not even interested in any attempt at running cs5 until i get a new machine. i can barely maintain hi res images in cs4 as it is. :\ [13:13] j0rd: Can I get anywhere using the Ubuntu Server install CD? [13:13] Thelz: yes, that CD is bottable [13:13] eaerth: well i'm happy with cs1, they haven't really added much [13:14] Thelz: so that'll work just fine and it's what i'd recommend using [13:14] ok, then I get that installation menu, should I go for repair? [13:14] jrib, yes i want to use sh [13:14] Thelz: i wouldn't repair. I would boot off the CD rom. Then I would mount and move the files off that disk. as i've said about 10 times now [13:14] phanindra: you understand sh is dash right? [13:14] cs1 is fine - i just really dig the extended selection tools in cs4 - i think it came out in cs3 actually. but cs4 also has a crazy scaling option as well that i like. [13:14] j0rd: I'm in this installation menu [13:15] jrib, i have added /bin/sh instead of sh [13:15] Thelz: should be an option to boot or test ubuntu [13:15] plus the workspace in cs4 is really nice. [13:15] phanindra: this isn't my point [13:15] jrib: what is dash? [13:15] phanindra: dash is a shell, like bash but simpler (and faster) === tomas-_|away is now known as tomas-_ [13:15] !away > tomas-_ [13:15] tomas-_, please see my private message [13:15] xchat does some weird visual things with the lines of text as they come up [13:16] jrib, : its 5:45 in my computer but nothing hapend:( [13:16] j0rd: Boot from harddisk is not what you want, I guess [13:16] phanindra: pastebin your script [13:16] phanindra: what is that script supposed to do [13:16] I'll see if there's a prompt somewhere under the repair utilities [13:16] or pastebin yeah [13:16] hi, I use Ubuntu 9.10 and copying from Konsole into the KDE clipboard (klipper) seems to be broken :| is there any special trick I need or is this just buggy?

I later shutdown to boot into windows but their was no Grub menu nor could i boot into windows, just a repeatative [ACER] bootsplash. I have a feeling the windows check disk corrupted my grub or the MBR, someone please help. [13:18] j0rd: It asks what root system I want to use. Should I use the normal root system or choose not to use one? [13:18] don't use one [13:18] although that's a weird request [13:18] ok [13:18] now I got a shell with no drives mounted [13:18] hi i am connected to a WPA protected access point using a key and iwconfig output is Encryption key:off...why is that?? === denny_ is now known as denny [13:19] how do i know the available hard disks in my machine plus where ubuntu was installed?

[13:19] j0rd: Well, to another network is probably not that easy [13:20] err [13:20] to another network computer I mean [13:20] it's easy, just not fast [13:20] and you are time limited until that disk is dead [13:20] nmvictor, sudo fdisk -l [13:20] It's either that or to an USB drive [13:20] so if you want to try that... we ca. But I'd attach another physical disk [13:20] I can add another harddisk, but I'm not sure if it's the harddisk or the controller that's bad [13:21] eaerth: After xorg-edgers is installed and system updated, install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental to get gallium [13:21] i installed ubuntu/Lucid in my new Acer machine which was preinstalled with windows 7 starter, on booting windows 7, it demanded a disk check which led to a succesfull reboot into windows.

[13:23] A_I_, testdisk is a life saver [13:23] Thelz: you can mount the windows computer via SMB [13:23] !grub2 | nmvictor [13:23] nmvictor: 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 [13:23] jrib, my script just contains only 2 lines "#!/bin/bash" in the first line "nautilus" in the second line [13:23] A_I_: I had a problem , fdisk shows,but can't fix, I had to use windows disk and FIXMBR command to fix [13:24] phanindra: stop trying to run gui apps like that :| [13:24] Thelz: or you can pull files off with SCP from a windows computer using WinSFTP [13:24] if you're going the winscp route, make sure you're not using encryption [13:25] I love Ubuntu!!! [13:25] what's the command to remove zenmap? [13:25] phanindra: you need to read I had ubottu give you... [13:25] 10.10 is great! [13:25] you would geek [13:25] Ben64, ok, can u suggest me any command which i can try through crontab? [13:25] guys, how can I stop processes if the system is not responding anymore? It's the fourth time now that I had to reboot my computer manually since Maverick. It freezes up, the load avg goes 20+ and I can't even login via console anymore [13:25] soreau: shoot - i installed that before updating, is that okay or should i uninstall, update and then install? [13:25] phanindra: make your second line as gnome-terminal -e nautilus [13:25] phanindra: you need to read the link I had ubottu give you... [13:25] phanindra: wget google.com [13:25] phanindra: you also need to just make your script executable and stop sending it to sh [13:26] I have a problem with ATI HD driver.. [13:26] soreau: i got a little excited... :-/ [13:26] eaerth: You couldn't have installed it beforehand.. xorg-edgers provides the experimental version of the package [13:26] jrib how can i make it executable [13:26] Hello,I have some problems with my VCD disk,its .dat and I seem that(after I googled)need to use vcdxrip and convert :(,however its just SOOO slow...,any other ways? [13:26] j0rd: Either's fine with me... Pulling the files off using the windows computer sounds a little easier though [13:26] phanindra: use chmod (see ubottu). After it's executable then you can just give the path to your script (no need for sh) [13:26] soreau: wait, i thought you meant after installing edgers, update as in run update manager and then install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental? [13:26] !permissions > phanindra [13:26] phanindra, please see my private message [13:27] jrib: cron still isnt gonna launch gui in that method [13:27] Ben64: sure it will [13:27] sure it won't [13:27] ubottu, thank you for the link [13:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:27] eaerth: This is exactly what I meant: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental [13:28] Ben64: we're probably talking about different things. I pointed phanindra to the cron page on ubuntu's wiki that explains the need to set DISPLAY. That should work right? [13:28] jrib: oh i thought you just said to make the script executable [13:28] which wouldn't work by itself [13:28] Wondering, what's wrong with "kern.* @10.0.0.90" as a rsyslog.d configuration line? I want to have all kernel messages duplicated remotely via UDP. [13:28] WARNING: It should overheat your system and catch your house on fire - and we're not liable! [13:28] j0rd: is it a small list of commands? if not, is there an easy guide to what I need to do? [13:28] I hate windows 7 for where it has landed me, Were it not for the warranty, I would have scrapped it off. Now I cant boot my machine, just live CD [13:29] Ben64: right, he should /also/ do that because he has a shebang line for bash and is sending it to dash. You're right, it's not related to launching a gui application [13:29] soreau: hahaha, alrighty then. i think i'm all good. :) [13:29] nmvictor: you don't need win7 for warranty [13:29] Thelz: do you have 'sshd' command on your console? If so run that [13:29] j0rd: Or, if you said there was a GUI, the GUI is probably on the Ubuntu installation drive, not the Ubuntu Server installation drive. Would booting from an Ubuntu drive allow me to access the files from an Ubuntu Server installation? [13:29] eaerth: Then reboot and look at 'glxinfo|egrep "render|nGL" [13:30] Thelz: ya, not the server disk i gues. Desktop [13:30] soreau: copy that, brb. [13:30] j0rd: You think desktop would be able to access a Server installation? [13:30] If so, I'll just go burn a Desktop installation CD [13:31] Thelz: you can access files with a livecd sure === tomas-_ is now known as tomas-_|away [13:31] Ben64: Ok, thanks, then I'll try that [13:31] Thelz: easy way will be to set the room password via `passwd root` . then run `sshd` on the linux machine. then head over to your windows machine and download WinSCP. And connect to your linux machine. When you have that going. Let me know and I can help you mount the disk [13:31] i got a perfect tut to restore grub2, thanks 2 the linux community. [13:31] Thelz: what are you trying to do though [13:32] hey buddy dont forget to join this petition http://www.petitiononline.com/sislinux/ [13:32] Ben64: trying to salvage any files I can from an Samba File Server on an Ubuntu Server installation with a corrupted file system [13:32] Superman097, dont paste here [13:32] Thelz: you can't just fsck it? [13:33] Ben64: it sounds like a borken disk. So trying to get him to backup before anything else [13:33] Ben64: It does so on startup, but then gives "/dev/mapper/servername-root: Duplicate or bad block in use!" [13:33] j0rd: ooh [13:33] best way would be using a local disk (internal or external) to back up, network is slow [13:34] Ben64: he's booted into console via CD. has to move files to a windows computer now. If you could assist him with that [13:34] I said that too [13:34] 12.5MB/s max vs ~100MB/s [13:35] Ben64: I'm actually thinking it's the controller that's breaking down, not the harddisk [13:35] so I prefer not to connect other harddisks to the same controller [13:35] I could connect an USB drive [13:35] Hi, does anyone know of software that could download certain pages that you've preset in order to view them later oofline? [13:35] usb would be good too [13:35] Hello [13:35] roffe: wget, curl [13:35] Hey, anyone here who can help me with something ?

[13:42] yea, but noone is replying [13:42] kamalesh, try alt-f2 metacity --replace [13:42] PM = bots replying [13:42] phanindra: I told you to do two things. 1) read the information ubottu gave you about cron (especially the gui section) and 2) make the script executable and execute it directly instead of sending it to sh. You've only done (2) and chmod 777 is not the proper way to do it. Again, you need to actually read and take the time to understand what you read.

[14:11] LemanRusas: yeah or mm3d [14:11] i have a problem with the 2d desktop of UNE. I am running 10.10, when i boot into the desktop the clutter launcher is too large and not lined up, then the normal gnome desktop loads on top of it. [14:11] tarzeau: is that good? I am well into Blender, but other stuff would be good [14:12] Leman : yes, i tried that solution , found it while googling [14:12] didnt help [14:12] LemanRusas: depends on the file formats you have to import/export, i like it though [14:12] tarzeau: thanks, but Im cracking for security reason, I heard it's impossible to crack ubuntu pass since it's uses 512 something hash [14:13] I am getting this error ... any idea to fix it ...PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library [14:13] how do i get into grub-menu when booting?

Let me try :) [14:13] i have a problem with the 2d desktop of UNE. I am running 10.10, when i boot into the desktop the clutter launcher is too large and not lined up, then the normal gnome desktop loads on top of it. [14:14] fgh: On my laptop at least, if you start holding shift as you press the power button, grub doesn't detect it. [14:14] tgywa, it usually helps to give context, like what you are doing when the error occurs [14:14] juk: the hash simply makes an attacker work harder to break a password.

Do you have another computer you can test this speed with? [14:15] mursalat: http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ [14:15] is there a way to update form 10.04lts to 10.10?

Pushing the files from this computer or pulling the files from a Windows computer, eitherś fine with me. Whatever's easier. [14:20] yeah [14:20] its faster, definitely [14:20] Thelz2: you can mount a windows share on linux and copy stuff like htat [14:20] so i just change my nameservers to theirs? [14:20] mursalat: yeah.

[14:37] kamalesh: That's odd... Unless the gnome devs changed it, the ALT+F2 functionality is provided by gnome-panel, so your alt+f2 shouldn't be working at all if it's not running [14:37] Tech285: go to the extended settings create a new cable network and selct SHARE instead of DHCP [14:37] undecim: now we have something, a huge stuff [14:37] is mounted as rw, I will post fstab [14:37] undecim: how can i show them to you [14:37] kamalesh: is there any error messages when you type: gnome-panel [14:37] akaedintov: Okay, copy and paste it to paste.ubuntu.com [14:38] akaedintov: Then send me the link that it sends you to with the text you pasted [14:38] anyone know a good pdf reader?

[14:56] sangeeth: depends on what you want to open the folder as sudo for [14:56] h00k: I think the kernel names it, but udev can rename it to keep cards consistent if you need them to be [14:56] AbhiJit: Sorry, you were right :) [14:56] ilovefairuz: cool that worked. thank you!

[18:15] brummbaer: it works, but reaaly bad [18:15] nooo: Or you could use grep to filter it. E.g., to mount only /dev/sdb*, you could use "for disk in `udisk --enumerate-device-files | grep ^/dev/sdb`; do udisk --mount $disk; done" === IGNORE_ME is now known as svm_invictvs === dwd_81 is now known as dwd81 [18:16] i posted my apache2 error log and config http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9977612#post9977612 [18:16] undecim: Is that 'done' really necessary or are you trying to confuse me? :P [18:17] so it seems that the top bar of all my application windows has dissappeared ... anyone have suggestions on how to get it back?

[18:18] delinquentme: Is it just, the panel is gone? [18:18] Gnea: It does that automatically when bootting from the harddisk. However, it runs into files that are in use, so it won't complete. [18:18] tiox, the top most bar yeah, with the 3 close restore and minimize icons [18:18] Thelz2: that's weird, because it's not supposed to fsck while mounted [18:18] Gnea: I was hoping I could do it remotely from the CD, so there would be no harddisk files in use. [18:19] Oh! [18:19] how do I use update-python-modules ? I have new modules in dir /usr/share/python-support/python-moinmoin/MoinMoin/theme and I vant them symlinked and byte compiled to /var/lib/python-support/...

[18:19] is* === magnetron is now known as megatron [18:19] Thelz2: that would work, just boot the livecd and manually run the fsck from the commandline terminal - just make sure you use the correct fsck.ext[ension] for the correct filesystem [18:19] is the ubuntu forum down?> [18:19] nooo: That should be really flexible, too. Like I showed with the example including grep, you can filter the results from the --enumerate-device-files part of the line [18:19] or is it just me [18:20] Is there a program that can synchronize in real-time local directory with directory on an FTP server, including added and deleted files? [18:20] Gnea: How would I go about doing that? The right extention, I mean. [18:20] Is it just the buttons are gone or the title bar in it's entirety? [18:20] kroimpa: nope [18:20] Gnea: ah it up again!@ === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [18:20] my fault!

[18:21] and I'm trying to do it now [18:21] Hello there, how can I save my resolution after using xrandr ??? [18:21] delinquentme: is the whole title bar on top of the window gone, or just some buttons? [18:21] Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: Trying to install blacklisted version 'blcr-dkms_0.8.2-13' This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and incl [18:21] Gnea: LVM [18:21] hello ?

[18:22] hey guys , [18:22] But, the dialog doesn't explain how to fix the problem [18:22] We assume you are using the default window decorator, GTK/Metacity. [18:22] Gnea: I'm running the CD on the computer that has the issues. I can't actually get to the terminal when booting from the harddisk. And ok, will do. [18:22] im asking for your advice , which media player is the best ? [18:22] wtih codecs [18:22] akaedintov, vlc [18:22] vlc [18:23] thanks guys, gnome-do works good [18:23] containing some codecs ?

[19:01] :) [19:02] undecim: maybe you can do something with signals. "help trap" ( no that i know how to use it ) ask in #bash [19:02] are you have problem? [19:02] undecim: I believe youwould need to stop the daemon, edit its config then restart it, this is similar to the other daemons / services [19:02] yes, see my first msg above [19:02] what is everyone using for chat clients? I use irssi but I was lookin for something with notifications [19:02] ActionParsnip: That's not an option.

[19:03] i perfer weechat to irssi.

[19:26] thanks Dr_Willis , ill do some googling on that (it is ntfs [19:26] !ntfs | Bilz [19:26] Bilz: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [19:26] in ubuntu 10.10 i want to use evilwm and i cannot get .Xsession to work [19:26] dhiry2k: there used to be a few. gnomecalc or gnumeric I think . [19:26] Arve, hi, welcome, and you sure can ask questions, that's what this channel is for :) [19:27] I added evilwm.desktop to /usr/share/xsessions [19:27] and now ... the ".Xsession" file in ~ isn't loaded for some reason... [19:28] olefowdie: .Xsession is used when you 'startx' or use the 'xsession' session in the GDM menu. How are you logging in to X? via GDM? or console/startx ? [19:28] olefowdie: is it owned by the user whose home it is in? [19:28] * Thelz2 feels like giving up [19:28] hey guys, is there a reason why iptables wont work on ubuntu desktop? [19:28] ActionParsnip yes. [19:28] olefowdie: and i think its .xsession [19:28] Dr_Willis, i am looking simple application for my lighter desktop environment as ram is less [19:28] olefowdie: good [19:29] dhiry2k: look into lubuntu. Its packed with light apps :) === houston is now known as housty [19:29] Dr_Willis: I made both (cp to both .xsession and .Xsession) [19:29] oh.. how can i check ram & proc usage? :D [19:29] dhiry2k: theres the old school 'sc' spread sheet. :) [19:29] Dr_Willis: should I just add evilwm as a an application in .Xsession and then run Xsession session from gdm? [19:30] Anyone have a recommendation for a syslog analyzer? Open source.... [19:30] olefowdie: thats how ive done such things befor. Or i make a whatever.desktop that runs some script that sets up alterantive window maanger/desktops. [19:30] ActionParsnip: Thanks [19:30] olefowdie: could be some error in your whatever.desktop file [19:30] Is nxserver included in any of the 10.10 repositories? Should I download from nomachine.com? [19:30] Dr_Willis: EXCELLENT IDEA! [19:30] olefowdie: oh wait.. you do NOT run 'whatever.desktop' from the .xsession thats a script OF commands.. whatever.desktop is not a 'command' [19:30] if my keyring and login passwords are the same, why is it that I have to enter both of them every time I log in? [19:31] anyone can help me on "fsck.ext4 device busy error"? [19:31] anyone? [19:31] yes [19:31] jonathan: because they are 2 seperate passwords.. You can set up the keyring to not ask a password. [19:31] How can I reset Language Support settings [19:31] Dr_Willis: but then my password aren't encrypted at all? where are they stored even? [19:32] u can search google [19:32] ulinux [19:32] jonathan: correct they would be using 'unsafe storage' for your keyring things.. [19:32] ok, brb, gonna try custom script idea [19:32] lanquansan: i am.. while i asking here [19:32] but I read a few places that if the passwords were the same, gnome would automatically enter the keyring password for you [19:33] jonathan: ive never read that. or seen it work that way. [19:33] jonathan: and i always set them the same.. have for ages.. [19:33] sheu [19:33] jonathan: that would defeat the purpose of the keyring [19:33] hi im trying to boot ubuntu from USB drive, while it started booting it seems to be stuck on a black screen with text. I booted earlier from DC and that seemed to work. I used universal USB boot with persistant 4GB. anything I could try? [19:34] hey guys, i tried to add a rule to iptables in my ubuntu but its not working out, http://pastebin.com/WaZgyt5z , anyone know why its doing that? [19:34] hiku: that's what I thought, I just saw a few people in the forums claiming that's what happened. I guess I'll stick with the annoyance for the added security [19:34] veronica [19:34] i just upgraded to 10.10, first i did a upgrade from 10.04, but then noticed i was having some apps freeze, so i just installed a clean version of 10.10, but i am still having apps freeze, currently i have had problems with transmission, ubuntu software center, and xchat, what would be causing this?

After a bit of advice, I backed up my keyboard shortcuts & menus, then deleted .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gconf & .gconfd (in terminal mode while not logged on X) - The problem is that this did absolutely nothing for me other than show me there were more settings in those folders that I would have liked to save...

After a bit of advice, I backed up my keyboard shortcuts & menus, then deleted .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gconf & .gconfd (in terminal mode while not logged on X) - The problem is that this did absolutely nothing for me other than show me there were more settings in those folders that I would have liked to save... Any ideas on how to reset ALL looks to 10.10 original? [20:05] soul9: Is there a reason you couldn't try a CD installation, or a network boot? Perhaps an alternate method would help... [20:06] Dr_Willis: i got another one too...this sudo -i apt-get clean mv lists lists.old <---by the command mv lists lists.old i got error stating directory something...so all i did is to change...like mv lists 123 or abc is that ok? [20:06] //waiting for help with grub2 menu. lost the ability to start ubuntu, [20:07] l8trguy, can you see the grub menu at startup? === Viper is now known as Out`Of`Control [20:07] I made a StartUP disc from Ubuntu10.10 with 10.04 on it. I go to boot and I get stuck at a Loading Operating System... and SYSLINUX 4.01 screen thingy. It just stops there and does nothing. Is GRUB messed up? Not sure what is going on [20:07] how can I check my WiFi nic driver? [20:07] xhhj, i think its only the windows bootloader [20:07] through console [20:08] meepster: other than the fact i don't have cd's, i thought usb would work and now i can't burn a cd, no [20:08] so the mbr got overwritten? [20:08] whats the command to check my nic wifi card driver through the console on ubuntu? [20:08] xhhj, , perhaps, make a ubuntu cd? [20:09] i think there is a way to reinstall grub to the mbr using the livecd but i don't know how to exactly [20:09] !openoffice [20:09] a free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". For (unofficial) repositories containing OpenOffice.org 3, see https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa. User help available in #openoffice.org. [20:09] soul9: Does the installation say that it completes? What happens if you boot the machine without the USB disk in? (Do you see a GRUB menu? Does Linux begin loading at all?) [20:09] no, it doesn't complete [20:09] hello, i have problems with hibernating to SWAP, any help? [20:09] Hello, anyone having problem with wireless: Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [20:10] and no, the bootloader isn't installed [20:10] I have shitty throughput, connects B only [20:10] isn't that the last step?

[20:11] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15/+bug/660864 [20:11] yes [20:11] xhhj, ... [20:11] meepster: so if installation fails, it fails, and leaves you without a bootloader [20:11] soul9: I know this is a generic suggestion, but I'd really suggest trying a non-USB install. The problem I'm having as a programmer is, you're not seeing any useful error messages for me to form an accurate diagnosis. So I can't really understand why the install is failing. [20:12] i would, but it's localised so it wouldn't help you [20:12] it's the part where the installer wants to install packages from the cdrom [20:12] so the base install is done, and it's setting up the system [20:12] no one else in here with Atheros AR9285 (pci wireless) ? [20:13] at this point i'm guessing it tries to get packages from the cdrom but it can't (it should use the usb device) [20:13] Still trying to resolve the following: I just upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 & everything looked whacky.

[20:13] aubrey616, whats your problem [20:14] http://pastebin.com/4FZtinLM [20:14] soul9: I see... I can't really explain why it's looking for a CD, instead of the USB. But again I ask: could you do a CD install? Or a network-boot install? [20:14] zaxonspox, lousy throughput, connects B only, drops G totally [20:14] dborba, i dont know did you got my last msg. but i tried that commands without sudo, and it killed my gnome, so you were wrong about that [20:14] soul9: I've done netboots before... They're unpleasant, but if your computer doesn't have a CD drive (like my poor laptop), it works well. [20:15] and latest nvidia 64 bit drivers with Xorg 1.9 is _slow_ [20:15] meepster: how would i do that? [20:15] nikola, must of missed it, and weird - have had issues with that in the past. maybe that changed [20:15] soul9: The network boot? Before I explain that, could you tell me if your computer does have a CD drive? [20:15] hi [20:16] meepster: it does, but i have no way of burning a cd [20:16] zaxonspox, you there ? [20:16] is anyone using QQ ? [20:16] I'm getting black screens very frequently.. how to avoid it? [20:16] aubrey616, i am connecting to my Netgear WGR614 wihch is 54Mbps with g, and i dont have any problems [20:17] zaxonspox, i can connect B only after i installed 10.10, its really weird.

When I netbooted my laptop for 10.04, I configured my router's DHCP server to point netbooting computers to a TFTP server installed on a separate machine. [20:18] l8rguy, answer is there in ubuntu site, search for restoring grub [20:18] yeah [20:18] nikola, thnks. [20:19] try and explain that to a user :-( [20:19] soul9: After a little bit of research, it was a relatively painless process. I read the following guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto [20:19] zaxonspox, well, i have reset and searched the wireless gateway, everything seems to be in order but of course, it can be faulty hardware [20:19] aubrey616, do you set WEP or WPA? [20:19] it can be static IP as well [20:19] zaxonspox, WPA TKIP [20:19] i'm just proxying and translating for someone in #ubuntu-hu, who is not a pro [20:19] also, netboot needs an other computer [20:19] soul9: Oh, I understand. :) [20:20] aubrey616, do you have some Windows on your machine, to compare the wifi connection? [20:20] zaxonspox, what driver are in use (module) mine is ath9k [20:20] zaxonspox, lsmod [20:21] zaxonspox, not now, i have a PS3 and a PSP ;) [20:21] soul9: I suspect the easiest solution is to get a friend to burn a Ubuntu install CD... [20:21] meepster := [20:21] aubrey616, mine ath9k [20:21] :) [20:21] okey i'll tell him that [20:21] zaxonspox, ok, thanks, same one then [20:22] Anyone can help on installing the panflute-applet? [20:22] My problem --> http://pastebin.com/4FZtinLM [20:22] soul9: Sometimes the best solutions involve the least amount of command-prompt fiddling. :P [20:22] aubrey616, give me a sec, i will set wifi mode to "g only" and test the wifi, will be back in 5 min [20:23] MarkSS: tell us a little about your problem [20:23] zaxonspox, thats really nice of you, thanks a lot ! [20:24] meepster: yeah, i figured that much, i thought maybe someone would know a hack, since this bug would come up pretty often, i imagine [20:26] hey, since update to 10.10 my touchpad of the thinkpad ultranav is way too sensitive. means: holding the finger 0.5cm above the touchpad already causes the mouse to move around quickly. Have U experieced s.th. like that? What to do against it? [20:27] VNC4Server seems so much slower the VNCserver for some reason or is it just me? [20:27] If I wanted to change the hash mechenism for shadow passwords, I would edit /etc/pam.d/common-password, correct? [20:27] eipi-1, sell yourself to a circus as a telekinesis act? :P honestly many things in 10.10 are rough and unpolished, best thing is to set a bug in bugreports and wait for it to be solved [20:27] does anyone have any experience with vmbuilder? I can't get it to add the new virtual machine to the environment so I can use virsh [20:27] aubrey616, are you still there? [20:27] I tried "--libvirt=qemu:///system" and "--libvirt qemu:///system" [20:28] one documentation says to use a space, but the man page says to use =, neither work [20:28] zaxonspox_, yep !

Just a mess [20:29] zaxonspox_, how weird, and you are running 10.10 ? [20:29] aubrey616, hmmm, damn it!, 10.04 i have only tested LiveCD of 10.10 [20:29] Also, header files or kernel updates or whatever sometimes need to be re-run just to patch right [20:29] aubrey616, i forgot, sorry [20:30] I want to get rid of Ubuntu 10.10 and get 10.04.

[21:49] RooblyRoo, u can connect to linux from a macosx too.. nxclient is on linux/win/mac [21:49] RooblyRoo, on Windows you can use TightVNC client/server and under linux "vnc4server" [21:49] usario: Get the exact string for the title from /boot/grub/grub.cfg [21:49] RooblyRoo, nx is much easier and safer to use than vnc [21:49] why not ssh ? [21:49] while in the text mode during loading additional components the progress bar stutters, it freezes for 2 seconds and continues for about 0.1 second and the cycle repeats again [21:49] diablotin, nx works under ssh [21:49] hello... I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop (i7 920, 6GB DDR3), and every once in a while my CPU use jumps to 100% for a while but top/gnome-system-monitor don't show anything! I know it's high because of the system indicator applet, although it's under the 'nice' category. While it's happening, the system is unusable! I can't pin down what is causing the problem... anyone experience this? [21:49] is there a way to check what's causing it [21:49] * yagoo says NX is a subsystem under ssh.. NX replaces vnc [21:50] RooblyRoo: Nomachine's NX is proprietary but there id also FreeNX. [21:50] Jordan_U, nope. [21:50] hello everyone [21:50] Hello. [21:50] * yagoo says to look at nomachine.com GPL open source.. it's not proprietary [21:50] the problem started with ubuntu 10.10, not with any previous versions [21:50] * yagoo says NX nomachine.com was a proprietary a long time ago.. [21:50] need help about .ICEauthority [21:50] yagoo: Sorry, guess I'm remembering wrong. [21:51] As anyone a G50V laptop ? [21:51] Has [21:51] everytime i restart my computer it shows a worning that it was not able to update .ICEauthority [21:51] Hi fellow ubuntu users [21:51] O [21:51] ahmedramdane: have you checked the chmod ? [21:51] yagoo & Jordan_U: Thanks a bunch to both of you. I'll try out nx and FreeNx. [21:52] no i did not yest [21:52] RooblyRoo, simply download the debs, dpkg -i *deb, (have openssh instaleld of course), then run nxclient on any other computer on the lan.. simple :p [21:52] RooblyRoo, dont bother with freenx.. use the nx from nomachine.. [21:52] you should first have a look ahmedramdane === rich_ is now known as teamnoir [21:52] Hi. I have a 3rd party repo (from BackTrack) and I tried to install msttcorefonts by mistake. Now I can't either remove the package or reinstall it. I'm in a deadlock: http://dpaste.com/258539/ Please help. [21:52] both desktop installer and text mode have the same freezing issue [21:52] the owner is root [21:52] could anyone recommend brilliant software for small business...a business consulting company [21:52] to i have to change the owner to myself? [21:53] ahmedramdane, chown ?/ [21:53] Can anyone tell me what happed to the "backport" kernels? The maverick kernels compiled for lucid? The ppa appears to be empty now. [21:53] othniel, delete M$office and install openoffice [21:54] ok thanx yagoo [21:54] im taking notes [21:54] thank you i have to reboot now [21:55] Can I ask a stupid question? [21:55] othniel:one of the big things goin on about OpenOffice is it branched out to libreOffice; might want to put that in your margins [21:55] yagoo: From the licence information in the .deb from their site, among other things: "Redistribution of NX Server software is forbidden without written permission by NoMachine." [21:55] diablotin, I think that was one [21:55] diablotin: you mean another? ;) [21:55] hello people, upgraded from lucid and a clean reinstall but skype from repositories crash my 32bit, xorg restarts forcefully closing all my work, any ideas? [21:56] ok would i find libreoffice in the software cnter [21:56] ? [21:56] othniel Nope. [21:56] othniel idts [21:56] Jordan_U, it's open source.. don't worry about it.. their source is all over their website [21:56] yagoo: The core libraries may be Free but the full client and server implementations do not appear to be. [21:56] yep I mean that I am french and I'd like to know where you are from (mainly I mean) [21:56] random question - any1 know if there is a channel dedicated to licenses and copyright stuff? [21:56] othniel Want me to get you an install tutorial? [21:56] diablotin: california, sf bay area [21:56] help, i'd like to have offline gmail with 10.04 but cant find 'gears' for Lucid [21:56] ok thelimerunner ill appreciate it alot [21:56] hi, i have a shell script that i want to run on vista via cygwin. the script includes "mkdir work" but when i execute it, cygwin gives error "cannot create directory work/r". I believe this is because the different eof, eol symbols of windows and linux. how can i solve this? [21:57] othniel no problem. [21:57] joshmclvl1: thx [21:57] diablotin, you could write a script which goes all user in this chan through the chanlist with the /whois command and parse the result in a txt file u can cat formatted. [21:57] diablotin: why? [21:57] yagoo: I'm curious about this but it's not really support related. Could we continue in #ubuntu-offtopic? [21:57] lol omani [21:57] * joshmclvl1 gives omani props [21:57] Quick question: I just installed 10.10. Can I overwrite configuration files from my /home backup to my new /home directory? For example can delete the compiz xml documents and replace them with my old ones? Will that bring back all of my compiz settings? [21:58] joschi: because I used to be on french irc channel and I have to admit that we speak much less than in this one [21:58] nikre: if you want to test that theory, just run the script through a perl script to replace the line endings. google for perl one liners [21:58] any ubuntu developers / mantainers here ? [21:58] I have some difficulties to read everything ^^ [21:58] thx vvcephei, will do [21:59] omani: I think it is more friendly to ask than to write a shell script [21:59] anything wrong with using rsync with sshfs? [21:59] anyone knows why skype instacrashes my desktop? [21:59] hi my internal mic doesnt work for skype could any one resolve my problm [21:59] diablotin: certainly more personal [22:00] ravimaddula: did you select your internal microphone as recording?

[22:02] macbuntu? [22:02] anyone? [22:02] kurrata: /bin/bash is still there [22:02] i dint find connector [22:02] kurrata: Ubuntu symlinks /bin/sh to dash instead of bash. #!/bin/bash scripts still run bash, and bash is still the default shell for users. [22:02] only showinf 5 tabs [22:03] rww erUSUL i see, thanks [22:03] hi all, i've updated to 10.10 and my gnome session get restarted every time i try to run any qt application [22:03] anyone facing this issue? [22:03] ravimaddula: in the tab named input [22:03] imaginois_:why not just roll it yourself? disclaimer: I dont use macbuntu [22:04] kurrata: if your script uses #!bin/sh it will be run by dash though and bashism will fail ( your fault for using bashism in a sh script ;P ) [22:04] ubuntu developers maintainers, fix the ath9k (Atheros Wireless) driver.

There is 50% free space but, disk management fails to shrink the volume. Is there anything else i can do ? [22:05] no [22:05] hi all [22:05] without compiz [22:06] that's weird :| [22:06] christoz: it should work, I did exactly the same thing to install ubuntu on my laptop. [22:06] input volume is high [22:06] christoz: the ubuntu installer can shrink the partition; you only have to defrag the windows partition to make it easier [22:06] christoz: ubuntu installation disc will do the partitioning for you === Alphonse_Elric is now known as Al_Elric [22:06] ravimaddula: try the other microphone, names can be misleading sometimes [22:06] but the input level is not showing any responce [22:07] erUSUL: i've analyzed the ntfs partition but the result was "no need to defrag" [22:08] christoz: then there is nothing else you need to do. if you want to do a manual shrink prior to instalation (for whatever reason) you can use gparted from the ubuntu livecd [22:08] external mic is working when i plugin [22:08] I have a 3G modem inside my Asus UL3A laptop with o2, I put all the settings in but it still doesn't connect to the gsm network, of course I tried it with windows and it works, so it's only on ubuntu that it doesn't [22:09] but my internal is not working ..it works for sound recording [22:09] ravimaddula: could there be any mute button on your laptop to turn on or off microphones/camera etc?

[22:11] does anyone use 3G mobile broadband on 10.10? [22:11] christoz: then let the instaler handle everything for you [22:11] the only solution was to create unalocated space via windows program [22:11] slipp3d use the ubuntu software center [22:12] I have it installed and i'm not able to get it to start [22:12] ok thanks [22:12] imaginois_, it says that it's attempting to load the system libmoon and it segmentation fault [22:13] Is there a way to see users you have recently been on private with on xchat?

[22:15] PredaGR, nobody knows... but it happens. ask it's creators? [22:15] akaedintov, the implicit message was, punctuation characters are no pack animals. [22:15] acid1: no idea, I try to run it, and instantly crashing quiting any apps open [22:15] never mind ... [22:16] PredaGR: as far as my experiences go every viop-software crashes the pulse-audio. you have two choices: install alsa (which is not recommendable) or forget about voip [22:16] slipp3d did u upgrade? or is it clean install [22:16] hola [22:16] alguien español [22:16] DASPRiD, are you crazy ?

[22:21] thingy , i tried wonder shaper and i think it really has no use [22:21] Nastya: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [22:21] trism, Thx [22:22] i.e. also ekiga crashed on various PA-versions, various ekiga-versions... [22:22] with alsa it works magically [22:22] though at some it works out of the box, with the beta of skype, with the newest PA... [22:22] skype on lucid works out of the box, repository or not [22:23] Hello, i want to install ubuntu on my laptop, so i tried to make a new partition using gparted, but i can't because i have already 4 partitions, so what i have to do? thx in advance [22:23] jacobbaker: Pick what partitions you want to keep =s is it a dell inspiron? [22:24] it's hp [22:24] jacobbaker: ok. What's on each partition?

[22:24] jacobbaker, it is MBR partitioning system limitation.. you need to use 1 of the 4 "base" partitions as "extended partition" [22:25] can i do this for the windows partition without loosing windows [22:25] ? [22:25] and that one will allow you to create some more partitions inside it [22:25] jacobbaker: do you *reeeeally* need the boot partition? [22:25] i don't know [22:25] PredaGR: you could try using the PA and skype-versions from lynx [22:25] jacobbaker: I meant the backup partition!!! urgh [22:25] think windows 7 use a boot partition by it self, 100MB or so [22:25] I was gonna say, "who needs a boot partition anyway?" [22:25] well yeah, it's kind of important [22:25] can i make the windows extended [22:25] ?? [22:26] * joshmclvl1 chuckles nervously [22:26] PredaGR: yes, if you want to know it: exactly 105 mb boot.

[22:27] anyone know where the best place to auto sshfs at startup? /etc/fstab is no good - wireless isn't up early enough & bashrc etc don't seem apropriate.. :/ [22:27] joshmclvl1, the secret is to always install windows first , if possible then grub just takes over the windows mbr and places it with the windows install in the grub menu [22:28] BluesKaj: Amen brotha' [22:28] when ubuntu is installed, joshmclvl1 [22:28] Hello [22:28] hi. i upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 yesterday and now roxterm is not working the same as before. if i use vim in roxterm the mouse clicks and scrolls are not passed to vim. and if i open a manpage or a less the content is printed directly to the console so if i close the man page / less the content is on the console [22:29] BluesKaj: I get ya; I went wubi > chop up the hard-drive> logical to a partition > reinstall ubuntu [22:29] I need some help....

It has an internal microphone but it is not working with Ubuntu. It worked when it had XP [22:30] vvcephei, not that it isn't the default interactive shell, it just isn't /bin/sh [22:30] amorphous__: Why not bring up sshfs when the interface comes up?

[22:32] hi all [22:32] joshmclvl1: you can test it with an install to USB / SD card. Helps avoid wubi :) [22:32] yaaar: then you need to grab the deb for that package [22:32] anyone? [22:33] why is chromium not working with youtube? [22:33] Oh I know BluesKaj, I know XD . It wasn't the easiest thing to do but it worked out ok for me (mostly); it's all local now.

I'm willing to bet its pulseaudio; I'm not the biggest guy for sound advice though so someone else may pick this up. I think I use alsa for skype but idk. [22:39] How do you know what you are using? [22:39] syrius, I just tried it, works fine here. [22:39] ActionParsnip: i tried it with -sf (i don't want to let it make changes till i figure out what's going on) but it said the same thing...does f not work with s? [22:39] (youtube in chromium) [22:39] shubh: I mean, I could possibly be full'a crap [22:39] call me blind and stupid, but where can i mute microphone from playback on 10.10 [22:39] it works sometimes wad [22:39] hi all [22:39] yaaar: no idea, i don't use -s, i just do it :) [22:39] I just installed 10.10.

[22:40] lol ok [22:40] shubh: have you used synaptic or apt-get/aptitude much? [22:40] I have used it sometimes... [22:40] ActionParsnip: i can get everything to install if i go through several iterations of running the -s command, then adding the deps it asks for to the line, then running again ...but i've never had to do that before, and the packages i'm installing aren't exotic (build-essential, apache2, stuff like that) so it makes me worried that something's busted with my apt [22:41] vvcephei, i have a shell script written in linux environment and i want to execute it in windows vista via cygwin. However the eol \r\n symbols (the file is created at linux) are recognized as \r+\n where \r is a string [22:41] But mostly sudo apt-get install something [22:41] hi [22:41] ActionParsnip: Should I use rSync to be safe? Or just drag and drop them over? I don't want to screw anything up. What about the config forlders for packages I haven't yet reinstalled? That should cause any problems, right?

[23:18] Viliny: system > administration > software sources [23:18] Dns: We only have 1556 people in the channel, never mind 313,373 people [23:18] Viliny: show normal releases [23:18] :O does anybody have a solution to my audio :( i checked the forums already and no luck [23:18] Viliny: also you are meant to ugprade 9.04 through 9.10 to 10.04, which I belive is what Blue1 is trying to say [23:18] SaRy: i tried to launch soundrecorder, but no microphone volume controls come to live to soundmenu [23:19] ah well i did it via the os så im assuming it went that way [23:19] hello all === topo is now known as Guest93913 [23:19] sebsebseb: upgrades are problematic at best. I always do a fresh install. [23:19] Viliny, update-manager -d I think [23:19] Hi, what does the %u mean on linux command??? [23:19] Blue1: upgrades tend to work well, but not always [23:19] when upgrading from 10.04.1 to 10.10 does it automatically change the repos? [23:19] sebsebseb: yup [23:19] Blue1: and more recently there are more of the upgrades gone wrong it seems with Ubuntu [23:19] reaby, then you should go through troubleshooting .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AudioCapture [23:19] Guest93913: what application? [23:20] does anyone know how to upgrade to 10.10 im runin lucid lynx === islington is now known as Islington [23:20] sebsebseb: indeed. it's why I backup /etc/ and /home/ and restore. [23:20] andril, it should block third party repos and update the main ones, yes [23:20] !upgrade | Dns [23:20] Dns: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [23:20] Blue1: I have a feeling though that version upgrades messing up, is more of an Ubuntu thing, than other distros thing, but not sure about this one [23:20] sebsebseb: well seclectively restore /etc/ [23:20] skx, thanks - then I will have to wait for the 3rd parties to be updated [23:21] cast: its the firefox launcher it says "firefox %u" its working perfectly but i wanted to know what it did [23:21] Blue1: well yeah /home on its own isn't always enough for all the settings [23:21] andril, no, you will have to update and re-enable them manually [23:21] Hey guys im looking to piggyback off of my wireless connection...having routing problems..I can ping from eth0 to wlan1 but when I get on my other box and try to ping from eth1 to eth0 I get host unreachable even though ive got it set up to gateway to eth0 and theyre directly connected [23:21] Blue1: for the clean install [23:21] omg help i just ran cfdisk and got a fatal error couldn't access drives wtffff [23:21] Guest93913: %u is probably the parameter passed to firefox [23:21] sebsebseb: no and you don't want to copy passwd or shadow - just cut/paste [23:21] Guest93913: a url, [23:22] Blue1: uh? with Ubuntu its set up the clean install, with the same user name and password as before, and the /home should work fine [23:22] bubbles_, how many networks are you on? [23:22] Blue1: the seperate /home partition, that isn't made by default, for others reading this [23:22] sebsebseb: right but I don't know all the passwords, so I just cut/paste from the files, after the restore, and it works find. [23:22] cast: its there a list of this parameters ?? I've seen %s and maybe some others would really like to learn more [23:22] yagoo: just one [23:23] Blue1: passwords in /etc ? [23:23] SaRy: the microphone works, everyting works, but i just can't find the mute button for microphone playback! that gnome-volume-control gives the same window where i just have been 1000 times [23:23] skx, so a fresh install may be better because I use Ubuntu Tweak and Ailurus [23:23] Guest93913: probably, but nfi where, [23:23] yagoo: I figure since Im connecting from PC to PC I wouldnt need 2 nets [23:23] bubbles_, you can ping eth0 to wlan1 ? << doesn't make sense from which machine to what machine ur talking about [23:23] andril, no, just re-add the required repos [23:23] sebsebseb: yes /etc/passwd/ and /etc/shadow/ this way you also don't get the uids out of sync [23:23] Does anyone have suggestions for good week planner and/or goal keeper software? [23:23] skx, thanks [23:24] Noble: kontact [23:24] yagoo: eth0 and wlan1 are ifaces on the same machine [23:24] Blue1: you mean don't have to chmod or whatever the command was, an account if doing that? [23:24] Noble, something to do with PIM software i'm guessing [23:24] yagoo: but eth1 is on the other machine..so ive got ethernet from eth1 to eth0 [23:24] Blue1: when switching between distros, and keeping same home? [23:24] Blue1: I'd rather not have to install some KDE-libs. [23:24] yagoo: Correct. [23:24] bubbles_, that again makes no sense. [23:24] cast: any clues as to what are they call or how to look for them??? [23:25] bubbles_, from eth1 to eth0 << still makes no sense as to what machines your talking about. === Blizzzek is now known as Blizzz === matt__ is now known as irri [23:25] sebsebseb: no. i rsync the backup, then restore, then grab the info for passwd and shadow from the old file i backuped up, copy/paste into new passwd and shadow -- done. [23:25] thingy, I can reproduce the problem on Ubuntu 10.04 with 2.6.32-24-generic, same administration, so its either a bug or some overriding setting [23:25] Noble: i hear you, but that's the only programme I know of. [23:25] yagoo: ok host A has eth0 and wlan1 host B has eth1 so im trying to run eth1 to eth0 on host A through ethernet cable [23:25] Blue1: right ok I guess [23:26] [q] How do I manage an iCal feed, or an RSS feed? Is there software to use? [23:26] Noble, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_information_manager < bottom of page [23:26] skx monitoring the channel is difficult so lets take this to priv chat [23:26] ChogyDan: akregator, but I think there are also some gnome ones [23:26] skx, here goes something :) [23:27] i had to buy the kde farm for kontact, I figure I might as well go for broke [23:27] bubbles_, you mean the other way around.. from eth0@hostA to the wifiMachine's eth1 [23:27] Blue1: hehe [23:27] yagoo: Ty [23:27] thanks Blue1 [23:27] yagoo: yes you have the net topology correct..interfaces are as I said [23:27] Noble: have you tried guaydeque yet? much more better the amarok, and looke ma! NO KDE required! [23:28] bubbles_, how many internet gateways are you using, Just ONE ? [23:28] my less doesn't behave well when piped with php script output [23:28] What is a good irc client that supports XDCC? [23:28] yagoo: what im doing is using IP of each iface as the gateway [23:29] irri: x-chat does, iirc [23:29] yagoo: so eth0 on host A's gateway is IP on wifi eth1 and then eth1 gateway is wifi IP [23:29] SaRy: i think i'm alone with this issue :( and thus i can't attach speakers to computer while a microphone is attached too. [23:29] Blue1: I actually use Spotify Linux Preview ;) [23:29] bubbles_, how many ISP's are you connected to,? I'm assuming just one. therefore it makes no sense to make such an odd setup [23:29] reaby, i see .. am still looking to see if this have been reported as a bug! [23:29] hey [23:29] Noble: not seen that -- they added guaydeque to the repos in 10.10 [23:30] dak_: hi [23:30] hi-ubuntu 10.10 wifi not working! says firmware missing [23:30] bubbles_, you just want to use a locallink on ethernet cable between the wifimachine and the other machine? [23:30] yagoo: ok it makes good sense to me..I need a net connection on host A...I dotn have a wifi card and I dont really have room to hook up to my router..so..piggyback on Wifi Machine and then VNC into host A [23:30] Blue1, I tried using xchat-gnome, but it suffers from a huge bug in XDCC. [23:30] okay off to watch mindless televison [23:30] sup Sebsebseb, need some help... [23:30] reaby, !see bug 378334 [23:30] !ask | dak_ [23:30] dak_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:30] irri: i think bitchX might support that [23:31] bubbles_, ^ [23:31] ok cool [23:31] irri: I've never tried xdcc with irssi so don't know. [23:31] Blue1, K, I'll try that thanks! [23:31] irri: sometimes I run mirc under wine (but don't tell nobody) [23:31] !reaby see bug 378334 [23:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:32] bubbles_, it gets much more complicated than that.. [23:32] bubbles_, you wouldn't be able to do it.. [23:32] Blue1, I can kinda see why. I'm starting to consider it myself. [23:32] !see [23:32] bubbles_, it can be done.. but you wouldn't be able to do it. the process is very complicated.. [23:32] Blue1, IRC seems like something that should be a non-issue now. [23:32] coolwhiz, i tried both lol [23:33] dak_: ok still no question hmm [23:33] SaRy: found the launchpad page [23:33] SaRy: lol [23:33] yagoo: more or less...what ive got right now is Firestarter setup on Wifi Machine. Ive got it set to use internet connection sharing. So then on eth0 Ive got it set static. with Wifi IP as gateway. Works Great. Then Ive got ethernet cable to Host A. Static IP and Gateway as Eth0 on Wifi Machine === Wraith is now known as Guest91594 [23:33] dak_: I may know the answer, but we won't know, unless you ask :D [23:33] SaRy: but i don't have usb headset, just internal soundcard and sblive! [23:34] SaRy: well, maybe it's the same [23:34] yagoo: so the problem is pinging Wifi's eth0 port from Host A's eth1 port [23:34] theoretically it should work because of how Ive got the gateway's set up [23:34] HELP broadcom wifi pci card not working (network manager app says firmware missing)!? [23:34] I ran netstat -r and the everything looks fine [23:34] !broadcom | flaiming_goaty [23:34] flaiming_goaty: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:35] After upgrading and installing 10.10 using the update manager (from 10.04), and it asked to restart and I restarted. now here's from the boot menu I chose ubuntu, but instead of it taking me the the page where I select what version I want it took me to a page where it said "GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 Miminal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command. Anywahere else Tab List [23:35] bubbles_, it's much more than that [23:35] sorry it took time to write... [23:36] also my rubbish bin has dissapared [23:36] dak_: ok sounds like an upgrade thats gone wrong [23:36] so what should I do? [23:36] reaby, just making sure if its a bug in gnome media ! [23:36] yagoo: ok so why do you think it would be much more than setting up static IP's with gateways? [23:37] I guess because I dont have a switch connecting the machines? [23:37] dak_: well for a start mesing around trying to fix issues with Grub 2 isn't exaclty that fun, and not always so simple [23:37] dak_: so uhmm, got data in the install? [23:37] dak_: that you want to keep? [23:37] Having an odd issue with bluetooth. I have loaded blueman-manager and can connect the headset. I can talk into the headset and clean voice is recorded. When i try and play audio (with paplay) through the headset paplay just stalls, no audio is output and paplay doesn't exit untill i C-c it [23:37] no not really [23:37] dak_: ok well then this should make things easier [23:37] the headset works for audio both directions when connected to my phone, so i doubt its headset specific. I have tried on an old 10.04 installation, and a fresh 10.04 installation [23:38] dak_: do a clean install with 10.10 [23:38] is there anyone knows redicting output to file in netbeans 6.9.1 in ubuntu?? [23:38] So download it from the begining? [23:38] dak_: are you on a partitioend install from CD/USB ? [23:39] no dual booting win 7 [23:39] dak_: yes, but how did you install? [23:40] <_Valantis_> hi [23:40] SaRy: omg.. i found a way [23:40] reaby, anything else you tried .. [23:40] dak_: did you use Wubi the Windows installer? [23:40] _Valantis_: hi [23:40] <_Valantis_> can anyone help me with a driver for a usb video in ?? [23:40] is there anyone knows redicting output to file in netbeans 6.9.1 in ubuntu?? [23:40] <_Valantis_> its avermedia ezmaker usb [23:40] reaby, Nice. [23:40] yes wubi [23:40] was trying to remember the name :P [23:40] dak_: ok Wubi apparently has issues with 10.10, so I guess that explains it [23:40] SaRy: with console application alsamixer --> f6 to change soundcard, then find AC97 --> lower the volume to zero [23:40] yagoo: why would it be any more than setting up static IP's with gateways? [23:41] ddilinger: Have you read through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset [23:41] dak_: also in general Wubi gets issues sometimes, and isn't that great to rely on in the long run [23:41] SaRy: but i need to test if the sound input still works [23:41] ah,well done. [23:41] Go for it [23:41] how do I mark "unused" packages as being used so apt-get doesn't autoremove them? [23:41] but i installed 10.04 using wubi and it went fine, i upgraded to 10.10 using the update manager [23:41] adekoba: install them explicitly [23:42] SaRy: nope, it mutes the input also [23:42] dak_: 1. boot up WIndows 2. uninstall Wubi 3. download the ISO for Ubuntu 4. ideally check it. 5. burn contents to CD with imgburn or something . 6. boot computer from CD 7. install Ubuntu for real with partitions, set up a proper dual boot [23:42] ik: there's like 100 of them, any nice way to do that? [23:42] adekoba: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=240 [23:42] SaRy: damn [23:42] adekoba: probably [23:42] dak_: its still wubi [23:42] thingy: did you? [23:42] dak_: you upgraded wubi, so still wubi [23:42] :S [23:42] thingy: prerequisits: ubuntu jaunty 9.04 [23:42] ik: cool story [23:42] so Wubi is for people to try before switching to a full install and it scares people away :P [23:42] adekoba: I'm just here for the bitches [23:42] thingy: its just that all that information is no longer relevant :) [23:42] dak_, what's broken exactly? just the bootstrapping? [23:42] ah cool [23:42] coolwhiz: Wubi can mess up, and give people a bad first experience yeah [23:43] well thanks mate [23:43] coolwhiz: and the first may be the last as well [23:43] bootstrapping [23:43] ? [23:43] ddilinger: So you are aware that pa and bluetooth headsets are not a straightforward combination [23:43] <_Valantis_> i need some help with the drivers of EZmaker usb [23:43] Hey people, I am trying to install powder-toy in ubuntu, and I got a .zip file, never had to install programs from terminal before, what do I do? === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse_ [23:43] dak_: what?

[23:44] SaRy: sound input works, and no output.. great! [23:44] yagoo was asking if the problem was just bootstraping [23:44] reaby, Perfect. [23:44] SaRy: yeah [23:45] 有人没？ [23:45] SaRy: but i think there should be a way to mute the mic input from soundmenu [23:45] well thanks for the help sebsebseb, cheers :) === Guest97738 is now known as zkriesse [23:45] reaby, you can also have some extra tools there.

[23:50] oh and thats a b not h, wasn't looking at that propery, balrog-k1n see above [23:50] * balrog-k1n tries that [23:51] reaby, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/Blueprints [23:51] sebsebseb: won't that remove the other custom added applets from the panel though? [23:51] anyone tried to 'make -j' a x86 kernel on ubuntu 10.04? it freezes my machine for about 40 minutes doing nothing, then resumes so the kernel build took a good 55mins [23:51] btw. /etc/init.d/NetworkManager no longer exists, but /etc/init.d/NetworkManager.dpkg-backup exists now after the upgrade [23:51] balrog-k1n: well yeah [23:51] without -j it will take about 10 minutes [23:51] balrog-k1n: it would remove whatever you did to the panel [23:51] SaRy: thanks [23:52] xxiao: uhh what does the man page say about the -j param? [23:52] reaby, You're most welcome , and thank you for pointing that out. [23:52] i know...but i used -j before for cross-compile, no such problem [23:52] sebsebseb: if the network applet was there as default, it would be available in the "Add to Panel.." dialog, right? [23:52] also built openwrt with -j and it went well on the same machine [23:52] sebsebseb, i said nothing about panels [23:52] hiexpo: yes [23:52] hiexpo: you got messaged by mistake [23:53] xxiao: i'm reading now, but how many jobs did you set? [23:53] sebsebseb, oh ok [23:53] -j means as many as it can throw [23:53] xxiao: have you got a i386 cpu? [23:53] it's aggressive but the kernel should not freeze still, i guess it's because of the dumb CFS [23:53] Is there some way to connect a shell script to DBus for method calls, etc? [23:53] sebsebseb: sadly fglrx drivers no good, going to give the desktop edition a go instead [23:54] mattvv: oh [23:54] it's the core2duo === islington is now known as Islington [23:54] 2GB memory [23:54] should i try reinstalling NetworkManager? [23:54] 4GB actually [23:54] balrog-k1n: if you want I guess [23:54] balrog-k1n: your on the desktop edition? [23:54] i blame CFS for this, which should guarantee interactivity even under heavy cpu usage [23:55] sebsebseb: nor sure.. says just Ubuntu 10.10 in /etc/issue [23:55] xxiao: no idea whats causing the huge delay, it may be cfs, does it output anything during the make process? [23:55] balrog-k1n: probably are then [23:55] it's a netbook though [23:55] xxiao: isn't proirity of threads a kernel thing. [23:55] xxiao: wait keep asking in the channel, i'll be bach [23:56] balrog-k1n: ok [23:56] the make screen looks normal [23:56] balrog-k1n: so you got Unity, the new netbook interface? [23:56] balrog-k1n: if so thats, probaby got something to do with it [23:56] i can't even ssh/ping, it's just dead. then dmesg showed lots of do_page_fault something related to hung_task_timeout_secs [23:57] balrog-k1n: and if not, you should try the netbook edition for 10.10 really [23:57] sebsebseb: probably not, as it's been 10.0 or something like that installed on this computer and went through a bunch of successive upgrades [23:57] then...after about 45 minutes, it keeps compiling and is working again, at least 20-30 minutes that is just pausing for nothing [23:58] with the goal of getting wireless working, which it finally does in the kernel it just installed :) [23:58] i will see if i can reproduce, which means this xchat is going to hang as well. [23:58] /join mactel [23:58] (i.e. iwconfig and friends can scan networks from command line... but no network applet now) === d3f4c3 is now known as ch40s-PT [23:59] balrog-k1n: right [23:59] time to go, dare not to make -j x86 on ubuntu 10.04 for now [23:59] balrog-k1n: so yeah desktop edition, but what I am saying is since you got a net book, you should probably clean install really, and try the net book edition, its worth it, if it works properly [23:59] balrog-k1n: since the new interface === ch40s-PT is now known as amor_de_mae
