[00:48] chogydan, nope... should i? [00:48] in ubuntu you use .tar.lzma instead of 7-zip, right? [00:49] sebsebseb: so whats the format everybody should use? [00:49] Viliny: anything that is open an open standard, and that applys to, all file formats [00:49] chogydan, will renaming do? [00:49] right, but nothing specific? === sm is now known as Guest86758 [00:49] its not just rar , it is also other ones [00:49] tar is an open standard [00:49] i cant install so quickly [00:50] i always have to search how to install and shit [00:50] ok tar, is tar noticeably better in any way?

I hav [00:50] Viliny: tar for example as exospace is suggesting [00:50] Spofer: renaming should be fine, it should get replaced on reinstall anyway [00:50] tar is not bad, it just doesnt compress stuff [00:50] haha... [00:51] Viliny: there are some others that are better than tar and also open [00:51] Viliny: even .zip would be better than .rar really, even though thats not open [00:51] Viliny: WinRAR and the whole RAR format is quite pointless realy [00:51] im not trying to be a douche here but if i want something to compress something with i usually go with rar - is there anything thats noticeably better in linux? [00:51] .zip is great, except for zip doesnt do the big file thing [00:51] and why is zip better than rar? [00:52] chogydan, sorry, but what's the command for reinstall? (my man-db got skrewed from this problem) [00:52] exospace: what about bz2 and such? [00:52] Viliny: tar.gz/xz, just because its more common to have those unarchivers [00:52] Viliny, some like 7zip not sure if it';s open or not //personally I use rar tar.gz [00:52] is it better to install the graphics card drivers from the ati website or ubuntu restricted ones [00:52] noo [00:52] buntu restricted ones really suck [00:52] ubuntuuuu, restricted [00:52] because .zip is better supported out of the box on more operating systems, and .rar isn't supported out of the box on any that I know of. [00:52] Spofer: I think it is sudo apt-get reinstall tzdata [00:52] 7zip is opensource and available in the repositories === Guest86758 is now known as sm`_` [00:52] nvidia kills us!

[00:54] Viliny, I havent done a search in some time....you can google linux compression utilities see what thecomparisons are [00:54] trojan_spike, im sorry new to ubuntu, what is the 'driver hardware' search?

Im going to walk out of this as a rar-user if someone doesn't base things a little more strongly as im usually open to all new stuff and would like to find something better if there is something like that to find.

I want to see tar.gz mainly [00:57] ok [00:57] tar.gz is something you only see in linux circles though - atleast thats how it's been for me [00:57] Viliny: no most software that is very popular isn't that great for many people, Windows is a good example of that, and you probably agree with me on this one, or why else are you trying out Ubuntu?

I usually do another layer of filtering beyond the crowd though - bad argument on my part [00:58] Viliny, you can right click a filder and choose compress and see what is already available on the sytem then do a comparison as to the size of the compressed file and time it took to compress [00:58] folder [00:58] Viliny: tar.gz and tar.bz2 are the norms for software tarballs ... you'll also find tar.lzma sometimes [00:58] some help here... My Genius Mousepen tablet won't work on Maverick :( I have the latest wizardpen driver installed and all [00:59] Viliny: RAR is very much so a Windows thing, Desktop Linux users, and as far as I know Mac users, tend to dislike it [00:59] ChogyDan, although no new postinst [00:59] avelldiroll: why are the extensions two part? tar and gunzip yes - but what is this duo exactly? [00:59] ubuntu is really forcing me ,to return to windows [00:59] Viliny: I mean more expereinced Desktop Linux users, the newbies will find it ok useually [00:59] all about compression here ehh [00:59] akaedintov: Why? [00:59] akaedintov, ???? [00:59] akaedintov, what about linux is forcing you to return towindows?? [00:59] Viliny: this is mostly historic ... tar began as a software for recording backup tapes [00:59] Hello everyone. I'm having trouble using a ar5418 based card (dlink dwa 556), it won't even show up in lspci! Does this mean the card is bad? I'm getting a wired connection right now. [01:00] sebsebseb: im starting to be a jack of most trades with linux - master of none being the downside [01:00] i cant use my TV as a monitor [01:00] why not [01:00] i cant watch movies, [01:00] Does the extras repository come enabled by default in maverick? [01:00] akaedintov: sure you can, i used a 42" for over a year [01:00] akaedintov, ah ... and no one here was able to walk you through setting that up? [01:00] no svideo out? [01:00] Viliny: also you need to know about software freedom properly, opensource/freesoftware the difference and open standards, and no its not all the same. those gnu.org and then philosophey section articles are a good start for finding out about that properly :) [01:00] I can't get guildwars working with playonlinux, and according to wine, it's a platinum game [01:00] sebsebseb: im familiar with all that - thats not my peeve :P [01:00] i asked for it , noone answered ?? [01:01] all operating systems should be free. [01:01] some help here... My Genius Mousepen tablet won't work on Maverick :( I have the latest wizardpen driver installed and all [01:01] Viliny: right well then you would probably want to use RAR really, I mean if you properly understood about it [01:01] i asked like ," detect monitors is not working , someone help me please" [01:01] akaedintov: as long as its a modern tv just plug a hdmi->dvi connector and your done [01:01] !freedom | DrManhattan [01:01] DrManhattan: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [01:01] Viliny: the main advantage these days is that tar gives a common interface to compress in whatever algoruthm you want [01:01] akaedintov, oh ok...just remember ..all support here is voluntary and sometimes people online may not have the answer for you right away..but mostly remember it is free support:0 [01:01] akaedintov: if its old equipment, then the money you save on a new tv you will spend in time setting it up [01:01] sebsebseb: understanding a thing and following it zealously are two different things [01:01] anyone for my question? [01:02] * DrManhattan watches as sebsebseb paints his face blue, holds a sword in the air and screams "FREEDOM!!!" [01:02] cozziemoto , dont get angry mate , im sorry [01:02] ddilinger , it is a new plasma , i have HDMI to HDMI [01:02] akaedintov, ` :) I am not angrey guy :) [01:02] Viliny: luckily for my actsual computer useage, I don't need proprtary software at all, I am one of the lucky few :) [01:02] akaedintov: what gfx card are you using and whats the tv like [01:02] akaedintov: and what happens? [01:02] i think it is about nvidia [01:03] sebsebseb: if i didn't game so much id be all linux by now. Damn directx... [01:03] akaedintov: are you trying to do 2 screens, or just the 1 plasma? [01:03] akaedintov, I understand the frustrations of a long time windows user moving over to linux but believe me... you will eventually leave windows at least most of it [01:03] i cant use its additional driver , if i do that , i cant open ubuntu [01:03] Newbie here, I think the update to 2.6.32-25 didn't go well. Can i just boot into the 2.6.32-24 and reupdate? [01:03] also, openoffice doesn't quite cut it for me when i have to do stuff at the university [01:03] Viliny: actsaully that wasnt' quite true, since Nivida driver can be useful for me at times, the propritary one, if I want to play OpenGL games for example [01:03] akaedintov, i try to switch all of my clients over to ubuntu ...so far no complaints :) [01:03] sebsebseb: so games are your downfall as well then [01:03] Viliny: you can dual boot & use virtualbox to access the other os on the physical partition [01:03] cozziemoto: i suppose thats to pad your support hours training for 'new software' :) [01:04] Viliny: no [01:04] Viliny, there are other options [01:04] cozziemoto , you know , it is best to use a linux system , but it is hard to get used to :D [01:04] Viliny: I hardly ever play games, and if I do, they are basic repo games, these days [01:04] sunshinepants: dabbled with dual boots and virtualbox enough to last any man a life time ;) [01:04] Viliny, koffice although that would require installing the kde libraries along with it [01:04] Viliny: i don't know what that means [01:04] i see [01:04] Viliny: you can wine Microsoft Office, and most of it will work well [01:04] OK, this is my idiotic question for the day: Is there a way to get the grub bootloader to open the CD-ROM drive? [01:04] Hello everyone. I'm having trouble using a ar5418 based card (dlink dwa 556), it won't even show up in lspci! Does this mean the card is bad? I'm getting a wired connection right now. [01:05] Newbie here, I think the update to 2.6.32-25 didn't go well. Can i just boot into the 2.6.32-24 and reupdate? [01:05] cozziemoto , ddilinger : do you know how to fix nvidia additionaldriver failure ? [01:05] akaedintov, i believe and understand your attitude...just try to trust us when we say...you will eventually prefer linux [01:05] dhaivat: if its not in lspci, then yea something really bad happened :) thats lower level than standard device drivers [01:05] hi [01:05] some help here... My Genius Mousepen tablet won't work on Maverick :( I have the latest wizardpen driver installed and all [01:05] hi this is gucko [01:05] damnuit [01:05] my point was, that the norms that microsoft has set i find myself constantly needing to use their products to be able to do some of the things i enjoy doing and i find that sad... as do all of you im sure [01:05] I'm using the new ubuntu [01:05] should /mnt/foo have root permissions or be owned by me if i'm using it to mount a samba share? [01:05] hi guys i have a general question; How do I log into a web based authenticated network via terminal? [01:05] Empathy is nice, but slow [01:05] no [01:05] Viliny: its not just linux, put a 10 year windows ventern on a mac and they will curse all the same [01:05] it uses a lot of CPU [01:05] akaedintov, additional driver? error> what is the error? if it is more than 3 lines go to www.pastebin.com and paste the error in the large white space then click the submit button then paste the link here [01:06] wil the latest ubuntu work ok on a netbook ? [01:06] ssd 8gb drive [01:06] Or, I guess, some way to open a CD-ROM drive on a non-bootable computer where there's no button on the front to open it? [01:06] z00m, probably the latest ubuntu netbook edition will [01:06] Viliny: ok I like how you called that norms, rather than standards, because a lot of their stuff isn't standard, its just most used, but not actsaully standard. [01:06] sunshinepants: the point with dual boots and viriualbox was that i've used both a metric #### tonne before [01:06] Viliny: i never really used any MS productss ... but i am from a unix background [01:06] cozziemoto , ddilinger : when i install nvidia-current , i cant get to ubuntu . only prompt after grub. so i cant use it :/ [01:06] cozziemoto, what about the standard one ? [01:06] ConduitConvectio: plug the drive in another machine? [01:06] why does mount -a says 'error(13): permission denied'? [01:06] ConduitConvectio: or if you dont care about the drive, screwdriver :) [01:06] z00m, standard ubuntu netbook? [01:07] ....Well, the problem is the drive is empty. [01:07] mehwork, "sudo mount -a"? [01:07] no standard ubuntu [01:07] If I can get a liveCD in there, I can fix the GRUB bootloader. [01:07] not the netbook edition [01:07] Viliny: Microsoft ignore standards a lot of the time or do their own thing, the history of Internet Explorer and web standards is a great example of this, their new file format in Office 2007 and above is another. but yeah this is getting a dab off topic now [01:07] mehwork, use sudo [01:07] cozziemoto , it is not actually having an error , someone told me that , "your gdm is not working" [01:07] yes [01:07] ConduitConvectio: you dont have to boot to open the CD, you can do that any time power is on [01:07] Hello [01:07] akaedintov, you could ..when booting hit the shift key to get to the grub menu...then hit "e" I believe and change the boot sequence quiet splash to nomodeset [01:07] hi guys i have a general question; Can I log onto a web based https authentication server via terminal? [01:08] ConduitConvectio: or if there is no open button, plug it into another pc :) [01:08] akaedintov, oh! [01:08] akaedintov, did you install this via live cd? [01:08] some help here... My Genius Mousepen tablet won't work on Maverick :( I have the latest wizardpen driver installed and all [01:08] cozziemoto , usb stick [01:08] HaPK_PerCar: [01:08] HaPK_PerCar: hi [01:08] Viliny: anwyay I always found that unrar free program a bit odd to use [01:08] ConduitConvectio: you could try booting a usb stick instead [01:08] gucko, hi [01:08] ConduitConvectio: or for real hacker cred, theres network booting with tftpd :) [01:08] akaedintov, mmm I have no experience with that but seems I have heard this isse with usb stick installation before [01:08] :-/ [01:08] Viliny: so I find it easier to deal with RARs in Wine with WinRAR or 7-zip [01:09] >:-) [01:09] ....Welll, that seems ludicrously complex enough to try. [01:09] What are the risks? [01:09] hey guys...where online can i browse the repo list for 10.10 [01:09] Viliny: sadly the graphical version of 7-zip is only for WIndows, command line is for Linux though [01:09] ConduitConvectio: tftpd ? no risks, your network card has to support it though [01:09] ConduitConvectio: you can take the broad connector on your motherboard and remove it and stick something that leads electricity between 2 pins to make the psu start so your cd-drive gets juice thus letting you remove the cd without actually starting ... most of the computer ;) [01:09] akaedintov, when you get to the boot prompt try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:09] as long as linux can compete in the market fairly then let microsoft have an os product, jeez. nobody likes vendor locking so if you don't believe in that philosophically then don't buy in. [01:09] ConduitConvectio: most modern cards do [01:09] ConduitConvectio: you need a second linux box to run tftpd and dhcp on [01:09] akaedintov, see if it missed some files ,,,then reboot and see if you get the same behavior [01:09] OK, I have a relatively modern card. [01:09] ...And conveniently, I'm on puppy linux right now [01:09] !ot | sunshinepants [01:09] sunshinepants: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:09] Will that accept this tftpd thing? [01:09] cozziemoto , it has something to do with nvidia-current driver , i do sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current , it opens fine , but without this driver i believe i cant use additional monitors [01:10] *wonders why so many are using apt-get and don't enjoy the benefits of aptitude [01:10] I upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 and I lost my sound. My lspci output is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) and aplay -l dont show any device. I already installed the linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-22-generic but I have the same problem. Any idea? [01:10] ConduitConvectio: tftpd has been arround for dozen years plus, should be in all distributions as a package [01:10] was installing flash plugin, and after minutes stuck on 6%, now screen has gone black with a text select cursor :/ [01:10] OK [01:10] Jel ovo radi ? [01:10] sebsebseb: yes i find that annoying in linux is that while config files are awesome - it would really not take away a lot from the experience to have GUI's to handle stuff, going through long text files just for the sake of it isn't good usability anymore [01:10] cozziemoto , i did them for so many times, nothing changes [01:10] is my laptop to slow? [01:10] yea bazhang thanks for the reminder, you get a gold star [01:10] you can have both really [01:10] akaedintov, you get both gdm and nvidia errors? [01:10] rather [01:10] installing 10.04 on a RAID-1. the dev is /dev/md1 The installer is refusing to install GRUB to /dev/md1. any ideas? [01:10] akaedintov, there is a tool in ubuntu that helps you to find (prop.) drivers [01:10] some help here... My Genius Mousepen tablet won't work on Maverick :( I have the latest wizardpen driver installed and all [01:11] akaedintov, which nvidia card are you using? [01:11] Viliny: that depends on the distro, how graphical they are or aren't for configuring system, I can thinik of three that are very graphical for this, and no Ubuntu isn't one of them [01:11] wonder why my screen goes gray in windows [01:11] akaedintov, i don't know what GUI you are using, but it is named jack.something.something [01:11] but not in linux [01:11] cozziemoto , i dont see any errors i guess [01:11] its an brand new pc [01:11] :) [01:11] spidy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:11] only linux works [01:11] with every [01:11] system is unresponsive [01:11] cozziemoto Nvidia ION 2 , i suppose [01:11] Viliny: GUIs make simple things even more simple ... and complex things impossible to do [01:11] ConduitConvectio: otherwise, ftp://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp/ [01:11] akaedintov, I think thatis the processor [01:11] akaedintov, ho, it's called jockey [01:11] Why does ubuntu 10.10 not work on my intel chipset laptop when ubuntu 10.04 works. After install all I get is a black screen [01:12] everyone stay on topic [01:12] akaedintov, so you can get into ubuntu withouth the nvidia driver installed...yes? [01:12] hmm I guess I ask in the kubuntu channel [01:12] Viliny: average user, woudn't noramlly have to edit config files anyway :D [01:12] cozziemoto, yes , just like now [01:12] ConduitConvectio: you have to setup dhcp and tftpd though, dhcp you put the mac address of the box and the information about which tftpd server, which boot files to grab from it, and then the tftpd server has to be setup to server those files [01:12] Viliny: or use commands [01:12] I'm gonna have to de-grade to lucid T_T [01:12] Benkinooby , do you know how to fix this :( [01:12] s/server/serve [01:12] akaedintov, ok open a terminal applications/accessories/terminal [01:12] I upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 and I lost my sound. My lspci output is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) and aplay -l dont show any device. I already installed the linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-22-generic but I have the same problem. Any idea? [01:12] akaedintov, in that terminal copy and paste this command lspci | grep -i vga === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:13] sebsebseb: i find myself knee-deep in config files every time i add software to my file/web/ftp/gateway/dhcp/mysql/php-server :P [01:13] akaedintov@onat:~$ applications/accessories/terminal [01:13] bash: applications/accessories/terminal: No such file or directory [01:13] akaedintov@onat:~$ [01:13] akaedintov, hight light that command here and simply middle click inside the terminal window to paste === Memnochxx is now known as Memnoch [01:13] akaedintov, no no [01:13] Viliny: your doing servers, well there you go then, your not the average Ubuntu user [01:13] akaedintov, i even have not understood your problem properly... or your setup of computer and monitor. i know that i once had problems with nvidia drivers and that jockey fixed it for me [01:13] JoseBravo, can you see your sound HD on alsamixer? [01:13] ....Wait. [01:13] akaedintov: i still dont understand what the problem is either [01:13] how do i open the thing to compile modules into my kernel? [01:13] make menuconfig? [01:13] I have to setup dhcp and tftpd on the computer I want to network boot? [01:13] akaedintov, at the top of your screen you should see Applications Places Systenm ..yes? [01:14] ConduitConvectio: what do you want to do? [01:14] ConduitConvectio: no, on the other computer [01:14] can anybody help me with intel video issues in 10.10? [01:14] gah, I guess I'm gonna have to go back to lucid... [01:14] how do you install to a raid 1? [01:14] HaPK_PerCar: Why? [01:14] !ask | joshritger [01:14] joshritger: 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. :-) [01:14] the isntaller is fine upto the point of installing grub [01:14] ddilinger, akaedintov seems that i'm not the only one understanding your problem [01:14] sebsebseb, my tablet won't work on maverick [01:14] HaPK_PerCar, I have big issues on maverick with sound... I am preparing to go back to lucid myself === gaurav_ is now known as Guest96934 [01:14] OK. What I am trying to do is this: My ubuntu installation kersploded at one point, I tried to reinstall. My reinstallation gave me an 'input/output' error, and I tried a few different CDs and was left with the conclusion 'I have no idea what's going on'. Not a big deal, except at some point the GRUB bootloader got screwed. [01:14] ConduitConvectio: then when your broken pc boots (you might need to go into bios to enable network booting) it will ask dhcp for an ip address, and dhcp will also tell it which tftpd server to get boot files from [01:15] grub says it can't install onto /dev/md1. is there a reason why you can't put a bootloader on a /dev/mdX ? === faboliv is now known as fabco [01:15] OK. [01:15] Lol, maverick meerkat... i learned that just now from the ubuntu about on my box [01:15] Benkinooby , ddilinger :: there is and additional driver in the application for nvidia, if i install that and have the latest version of the driver , i cant reach to ubuntu desktop after grub. only prompt comes. when i dont have the latest , it is okay. [01:15] ConduitConvectio: if you dont get a network boot screen that flashes for a second on the machine before booting, go into bios and make sure network boot is in there somewhere [01:15] ConduitConvectio: it might call it PXE boot or something [01:15] HaPK_PerCar: cozziemoto ah well newer isn't always better [01:15] cozziemoto , i cant see them :S [01:16] My laptop that has the intel 830m chipset works with 10.04 but I get no screen with 10.10, can anybody help me with this, or tell me why this keeps breaking every so many releases [01:16] ConduitConvectio: i usually fix grub problems with supergrub - and then there was another software that worked well... [01:16] cozziemoto , netbook edition i have. [01:16] akaedintov, you have no application menu top left corner [01:16] sup dudes [01:16] akaedintov, oh!!! [01:16] ...OK, well [01:16] anyone good with resizing partitions? [01:16] cozziemoto [01:16] akaedintov: which aditional driver? did you download the nvidia binary driver, or are you using the default open source once with ubuntu? [01:16] Viliny: a server should not need an X server ... you can still use some control GUIs ... ebox replaced webmin in that matter (and is now called zentyal) ... i would advise learning the command line and not using those config tools though ... they are a potential security risk [01:16] Sayo: reasonably [01:16] This 'supergrub' thing likely requires a liveCD, right? [01:16] akaedintov, I dont have netbook installed here darn [01:16] cozziemoto , open the terminal and use lspci | grep -i vga ??? [01:16] does anyone here know when could the new release for the wizardpen driver may come? [01:16] you are trying to do a network installation because you cdrom is broken? [01:16] akaedintov, yes [01:17] avelldiroll: i get your point - i use config files :) [01:17] Sayo: actsaully pretty good since a lot of expereince with partitions [01:17] ConduitConvectio: network boot? no live cd, although you do have to have some sort of boot image [01:17] they're taking quite a long time on developing that [01:17] HaPK_PerCar : leonardo@LeonardoPC:~$ alsamixer -> Cant open the mixer: File or Directory not found (traduction) [01:17] ConduitConvectio: a small livecd would probably work [01:17] ..... [01:17] Hi to all, can anybody tell me how to roll back uninstalls form dpkg.log ( tasksel remove lamp-server ) [01:17] ConduitConvectio: it has to fit in memory of the other machine [01:17] Right. That's where we come into my original problem. That is: There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza. [01:17] sebsebseb: lets say a bunch of harddrive space just opened up and i wanna expand my ubuntu partition to take advantage of that [01:17] ddilinger: are you on 10.10? [01:17] My CD-ROM drive is closed. [01:17] sebsebseb: 10.04 [01:17] hi [01:17] ddilinger: wrongo ne [01:17] ConduitConvectio: guy, have you considered a usb-stick or something before actually going with a network boot? [01:17] ddilinger , i suppose it is called , nvidia-current. (because i use sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current to remove it ) , and i just downloaded it from additinal drivers application. [01:17] sebsebseb: i have no idea how i would even go about it [01:17] Darox: are you on 10.10? [01:18] yes [01:18] It doesn't have a button on the front--wellll, the problem then is getting something bootable onto a USB-stick. [01:18] Darox: was it a clean install? [01:18] JoseBravo, aparently you don't have alsa installed... after you installed the latest backport of alsa, did you reboot? [01:18] hi, look my friend has a problem. he got a notebook asus k50c, but when he is testing ubuntu or xubuntu, the resolution only read 800x600(4:3), when should be 1366x768, someone knows how to fix this???? [01:18] partman, cfdisk, none of them worked [01:18] sebsebseb: Nope [01:18] akaedintov@onat:~$ lspci | grep -i vga [01:18] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [01:18] 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0a76 (rev a2) [01:18] akaedintov@onat:~$ [01:18] akaedintov: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:19] ConduitConvectio: most of them have a pinhole you can push a paperclip into [01:19] Hi! What do you guys think about Ubuntu 10.10? I haven't tried it yet, but I'm curious.

[01:28] viliny: about 3-4 years by now I think [01:28] ConduitConvectio: can you make it bootable yet?

[01:30] ConduitConvectio: check the target machine bios - see what options it gives you for possible devices to boot from [01:30] the fastest around [01:30] the first quatum pc [01:30] Right now it offers 'floppy drive, HDD, CDROM' [01:30] acer can boot from USB but not SD card [01:30] any mention of usb anywhere? [01:30] Not currently, but I don't have a USB stick in it [01:31] Skaperen: thats pretty generalizing isn't it? [01:31] I guess I'm running to the store to buy one? [01:31] hmmm, I wonder... can I make a lucid boot partition alongside maverick and win7? [01:31] ConduitConvectio: usb sticks are fun to own for various stuff :) [01:31] HaPK_PerCar: not the best idea [01:31] Alright. [01:31] it would be under boot option device order ... but won't show usb as a choice until a usb stick is in it (even if actually unbootable) [01:31] HaPK_PerCar: trying to do that, and Grub 2 will get effected, and you can get issues [01:31] Worst comes to worst [01:31] I have a USB stick [01:31] AFK, going to store [01:31] ConduitConvectio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:31] HaPK_PerCar: and trust me messing around trying to fix Grub 2 issues, isn't exactly fun for most of us [01:31] ddilinger , can you help me please :/ [01:32] Viliny: yeah ... but that's info from another discussion a while back elsewhere where that was concluded [01:32] HaPK_PerCar: also its a bit stupid to have Lucid and Maverick on the same computer like that really anyway [01:32] sebsebseb, ok, so how would I go back to lucid without a complete reinstall? is it possible to go back wothout a reinstall? [01:32] !downgrade | HaPK_PerCar [01:32] HaPK_PerCar: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [01:33] sebsebseb, so I have to reinstall if I downgrade... [01:33] HaPK_PerCar: yeah basicalley [01:33] sebsebseb, dang [01:33] sebsebseb, and I just reinstalled maverick... [01:33] HaPK_PerCar: not really a big deal, with seperate /home, but right you probably don't have one of those [01:34] HaPK_PerCar: oh you just re installed maverick. so no data on there yet even? [01:34] * Skaperen has 7 USB sticks ... and that's becasue 5 of them were given away or stolen [01:34] sebsebseb, I made a backup, and got everything back in... [01:35] HaPK_PerCar: good idea to set up sepraet /home when preperatging the re install though, makes future re installs or distro hopping, much easier [01:35] sebsebseb, what I don't like about reinstalling is the huge amount of installing and configuration to do [01:35] HaPK_PerCar: can do that in the manual install [01:35] HaPK_PerCar: but you get better at that with practice :) [01:36] sebsebseb, yeah, gess I'm gonna have to look into the separate /home thing [01:36] HaPK_PerCar: could even, turn your current install partition into the home partiton [01:36] HaPK_PerCar: one thing I do is make a tree of files to add on to a new install ... and one of those files is a script to configure stuff and add more packages === claw_ is now known as claw [01:37] sebsebseb, Skaperen can you direct me to a guide or tutorial where all that is explained? [01:38] HaPK_PerCar: explain what, the /home partition? [01:38] Skaperen, yeah, and the directory tree that you told me [01:38] HaPK_PerCar: the directory tree is my private collection ... include confidential stuff ... you have to make your own [01:39] Skaperen, of course, but I'd like to learn how to build it... === sorah_off is now known as sora_h [01:40] i am having a problem sound works on all my profiles but one [01:40] HaPK_PerCar: you build it by noting every time you add files like scripts and such ... as for the configure script, gotta learn some script writing (bash or python) [01:40] Skaperen, I see [01:40] good night [01:41] HaPK_PerCar: my tree has my various command scripts, C source files I will later compile, a few config files, stuff to add to /etc/passwd and such [01:42] HaPK_PerCar: the tree lives under and rsync server on my LAN ... I can grab it by configuring the network and running the rsync command === root is now known as Guest55983 [01:43] ubuntu 10.04 sound blaster audigy no sound on another profile [01:44] BTW, I installed Ubuntu (9.10) on my dad's Acer laptop using a USB memory stick [01:44] he still uses it [01:44] Skaperen, wow, sound like you put a lot of work there [01:44] Anyone here can recommend me a proxy? I have 2 service which wants to share port 80 and I want to use a subdomain for that [01:44] HaPK_PerCar: in the tree, a lot of work ... my dad's laptop not a lot [01:46] disappearedng: you can do virtual hosts in Apache with a single IP and port === Guest55983 is now known as china [01:47] ...well, as long as you're not doing SSL, or willing to use extensions which not all browsers support... [01:48] When I run rhytmbox-client --play-pause via a terminal, it works fine, but if I run it from a python script run as root with "sudo -iu #1000 rhythmbox-client --play-pause", it usually doesn't work. What's going on here? [01:48] Is it something to do with dbus maybe? [01:49] and if you do need SSL, then you can do it on separate IPs, one per hostname, within the same Apache instance [01:49] Skaperen: I am not using Apache [01:49] I am using twisted [01:49] so I need some 3rd party load balancer [01:49] Hey guys [01:50] disappearedng: oh, ok ... will have to find someone that knows that [01:50] if i currently have my whole hdd as ubuntu but want to add a linux distro to my second half of my hdd how would i go about it? [01:50] I'm getting some interesting error when I try to install libimlib2-dev [01:50] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/514219/ [01:51] tacomaster, use gparted on live booted cd [01:51] tacomaster, with it u can resize the ext2/3 partition.. [01:53] ubuntu "alternate" cds. These supported and cared for the same? i'm getting buggish behavior [01:54] Ok, so I removed the offending package. [01:54] That worked [01:54] Then I reinstalled libimlib2-dev [01:54] thanks :) [01:54] :) [01:55] bytesaber, one can be buggish as one is sloppish [01:55] well it seems to stop recognizing the cd at random. [01:55] durring install [01:56] it also won't install grub to because it's a raid1, yet the installer helped me build a raid1 [01:57] what version of kernel is supposed to be on maverick? [01:57] I was working on a upgrade and it failed due to my net dieing [01:57] Good evening. If I install Ubuntu netbook on my laptop in a partition and I keep windows 7 do I have to install my NIC driver? Because I tried connecting to the internet wirelessly but no networks were detected. Do I have to manually put the networks info? [01:58] fiublitz, it depends on what wireless card you have [01:58] !info kernel | Sivik [01:58] Sivik: Package kernel does not exist in maverick [01:58] mmm :S [01:58] !info linux [01:58] linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel..

I did a partial upgrade but the newer kernel is running or in the /boot menu [01:59] fiublitz, lspci [01:59] Alright, so if I put a USB stick into my computer, I assume it will not check to see if it is bootable before giving me the option to boot from it/ [01:59] ConduitConvectio, if you have the bios set to load from usb first, it should [01:59] well thanks guys, I keep having problems I cannot seem to solve. I stick with LIVE CD and remove the installation until a later date === laptop is now known as Guest31625 [02:00] Well, specifically I'm asking this because I assume it's not giving me the USB stick boot option because no USB stick is inside of it.

If it's currently not supported then someone else might have hacked together something. I found a good list of webcom drivers for ubuntu once then bought a webcam that was in that list. [02:20] hmm how would i find the chip/hardware inside ? [02:20] when I opened the xsession error log yesterday (somehow) it showed the issues [02:20] dhaivat: ok, I've no idea, Im afraid [02:21] ChogyDan: hmm... [02:21] :( [02:21] :C [02:21] but any idea why Ubuntu could lose wired network, or is it the problem of the freezing that happens some minutes later? [02:22] Aer: maybe try gstreamer-properties [02:22] I did use the wubi installer [02:22] * LOGAN runs and hides [02:22] Aer: search for the webcam model on the web & see if you can come up with something.

[03:17] check what is the usual filesystem for a USB [03:17] conduitConvectio, you let the usb creator do that, not do it yourself first [03:17] because it is meant to work with USB filesystems [03:18] conduitConvectio, also try unetbootin [03:18] hiyo: ubuntu will work with ext3. [03:18] Bazhang: I have tried both ways. [03:18] The USB creator, I click the formatter button and it's like 'uhhhh' [03:18] conduitConvectio, both ways being what [03:18] I've tried letting the USB creator do it. The format button just makes the thing irresponsive for a bit and then does nothing.

[03:19] After about two minutes, the format button becomes usable again.

[.]* ? for example, I used the regexp to insert a hyphen befre and after the sections I want removed, thinking it would be easy to then remove everything between them using something like 's/-.{*}-//' but not so much... I'm screwiong up the .* portion, I'm sure of it... === soreau_ is now known as soreau [03:35] hi folks, I have a problem with nfs. When I mount after boot, i.e. mount 192.168.1.100:/media /mnt everything works file. But when I put this line into /ets/fstab I get that "the volum is not ready or does not exist, press S to skip or M for manual" But s and m does not work. I had to reboot with a rescue cd and remove the lines in fstab again. What did I do wrong? (Followed the tutorial on nfs...) [03:35] miststlkr: escape the dot [03:35] <_CommandeR_> why is Firefox so slow in ubuntu 10.10 ? [03:35] oh, wait, no, don't do that [03:35] sound ok, but video doesn't play in YouTube. Latest Flash installed. Lucid??? [03:36] miststlkr: .* doesn't work? [03:36] All I get are still images that jump forward - sound is smooth. Firefox or Chrome - problem in both [03:37] leo_rockaway: first thing I thought too. I tried \.{*} [.]* [.]{*} [/.]* .. all sorts of combinations [03:37] miststlkr: .* works in vi, that's why I asked. [03:37] _CommandeR_: Google Chrome is much better :) [03:37] <_CommandeR_> darkstar, yeah i noticed [03:37] * leo_rockway wonders why people use Chrome when there's Chromium... [03:38] <_CommandeR_> installed it and is like 100000x faster [03:39] miststlkr: give me an example string so I can try. [03:39] <_CommandeR_> Has anyone fiddeled with ATI Eyefinity in Ubuntu ? [03:39] leo_rockaway: nope, not in gnome_terminal. My first thought was to escape the period, but no luck [03:39] leo_rockaway: I use chromium but I just call it chrome! [03:40] miststlkr: no, if you escape the period then it's actually a period and not a "any char" character. I thought you were replacing periods at first, thats why I suggested escaping. [03:40] darkstar: why? [03:40] <_CommandeR_> Chromium is opensource chrome [03:40] _CommandeR_: no, Chrome is proprietary Chromium... [03:40] leo_rockaway: right... which is why it wouldn't work... I realized that too, but it was my first thought. [03:41] _CommandeR_: it's a subtle difference... [03:41] leo_rockaway: because people know what I am talking about when I call it chrome. "chromium" is only really known amongst the tech crowd === incanden1a is now known as incandenza [03:41] it is identical [03:41] ravn: check logs, or pastbin your fstab entry [03:41] hey guys I am running ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop that has audio video controls on the front of the laptop "mute, vol up, vol down, rewind/back, play/pause, forward, and stop. my problem is that my back and forward buttons also control the volume and not the frame of video or the song. i've already tried hardware drivers any ideas? [03:41] darkstar: but I think it's good to promote free software projects. They are not identical. Chrome is nonfree. [03:41] for all practical purposes [03:41] <_CommandeR_> leo_rockway, I told that chromium is opensore and chrome is not :) [03:42] _CommandeR_: yes, I know. I kind of cringe at the term opensource, but that's just me. [03:42] ravn: s/or/and/ [03:42] leo_rockaway: google is a friend of open source. a friend of a friend is my friend :) -- but yes, I understand your point. [03:42] leo_rockaway: sample string in this case might be a filename something like IMG-00000000-102.jpg goal to remove anything between the two hyphens no matter what that space contains. [03:42] darkstar: oh, yeah? what about Google Earth? GTalk? [03:43] leo_rockway you can get both on ubuntu [03:43] Chaos2358: so? they are nonfree... [03:43] leo_rockaway: I said a FRIEND of open source, they have open sourced a bunch of stuff that they could have chosen not to. [03:43] Leo_rockway no they are free i have them both [03:43] sweetpi: http://pastebin.com/8tbUkZXt [03:43] miststlkr: yeah s/-.*-// works in vi.

[03:49] Chaos2358: does it always turn your volume up or only in certain apps? [03:50] leo_rockway, oh kool thanx [03:50] np [03:50] how is ubuntu 10.10 [03:50] leo_rockway, always [03:50] i have wexter on the driver [03:50] on the other lubuntu laptop of the same model [03:50] leo_rockway, whether watching dvd, downloaded movie or music from hard drive [03:50] phani, buggy [03:51] Chaos2358: that's extremely weird... I installed Lucid this morning on an E1505 and that didn't happen. [03:51] ravn: very odd. this shouldnt have anything to do with it, but intr is depreciated. try getting rid of that option [03:51] Chaos2358: what if you're not running any app? do the forward and backward buttons still turn your volume up and down? [03:51] leo_rockway, i actually installed twice due to changing hard drives and it's done it both times [03:52] sweetpi: ok, thanks, do you think that's what did it? It seems the howto on nfs is a bit old... [03:52] leo_rockaway: If you have a sec for one more, I figured out how to do multiple renames via regex using a for loop, do you know how to incorporate variables into the loop now? for example, I might do rename 's/[0]{5}(\d{3})/$1/' * to rename IMG00000123.jpg to IMG123.jpg, but a FOR loop as I have them worked out would look like this: for ex in 's/.JPG/.jpg/' 's/IMG/Holiday Photo /' ; do rename "$ex" * ; done I don't see a way to [03:52] Chaos2358: I'm thinking that maybe the apps have the wrong shortcut assignment [03:52] work the two together [03:52] anyone know how I can downgrade my ipod for ubuntu and still use it in windows? [03:52] ravn: I really doubt it. pastebin your exports file [03:53] bazhang, so what am i suposed to do? [03:53] leo_rockway, i havent a clue dude. i've only been using lucid or any linux os for a month [03:53] leo_rockway, is there a way to check that? [03:53] Chaos2358: Linux isn't an OS... GNU is. Try hitting the "forward" without any media app open and see if the volume goes up. [03:54] sweetpi: what is that? I can't find any file named like that in /var/log [03:54] leo_rockway, nope all it did was light up the panel [03:54] ravn: /etc/exports on the server [03:54] miststlkr: are you writing your script or using some batch renaming app? [03:55] also, anyone else notice that when typing a particularly long message in an empathy window, the window goes all Blob on you and just keeps growing wider and wider rather than scrolling? [03:55] Chaos2358: then you probably need to check the shortcuts on the apps you were using. [03:55] whats the gloobis ppa for, is it important? [03:55] sweetpi: ah, ok, but the server is a NAS. I have not learned how to get terminal access yet :( [03:55] leo_rockaway: built-in bash rename command [03:55] can i remove it [03:55] Chaos2358: something like Settings > Preferences > Shortcuts maybe... [03:55] leo_rockway, ok thanks 1 sec [03:55] leo_rockaway: using the CLI in gnome_terminal [03:55] miststlkr: huh... I didn't know that command. Let me see it. [03:56] ravn: ok, then maybe try "defaults" as your only mount option [03:57] leo_rockaway: rename [[regexp]] * for example, a simple one would be [[rename 's/.AVI/.avi/' *]] to rename all files in the working directory [03:57] miststlkr: the man says rename .AVI *.avi though [03:57] leo_rockaway: however my regex-fu is still weak [03:58] anyone know how to make ubuntu auto connect to my wifi? it detects it every time i start up but i have to manually select it. not really a big deal but i was wondering if anyone know how to make this work automatically... [03:58] leo_rockaway: alright, poor example that could easily have been done another way... [03:58] when I do lshw -C nework I see: *-network DISABLED. How can I enable this?

I think. I forget now. [04:03] miststlkr: Perl's is the most widespread, I think. [04:03] how do i add a user to the video group [04:04] ey yo yo wassup with that?

[04:08] kz6090: moving to IPv6 demands investment that most ISPs are not willing to undertake considering most sites aren't working on IPv6 yet. [04:08] ##networking [04:08] ah [04:08] someone have Bluesnarfing installed? [04:08] kz6090: and most sites don't have working IPv6 versions because most ISPs don't invest on it.

Yet despite my efforts, when grub comes up, I'm getting 'error: no such disk'. Ideas? [04:11] leo_rockway, no, not at al, nothing's changed anyway over months [04:11] Saik: Facebook was under maintenance about 30 minutes ago, maybe that could be related. [04:12] leo_rockway, I just had someone check, they see them, I don't [04:12] Saik: better use the chat in empathy/pidgin/any jabber client http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php [04:12] Saik: have you tried with a different browser? (just to make sure the browser is not the problem) [04:13] leo_rockway, I don't have anotherone on this box, and it's never caused an issue till very eciently [04:13] xangua, wht are you talkign abot? [04:13] (22:11:31) leo_rockway: Saik: Facebook was under maintenance about 30 minutes ago, maybe that could be related. [04:13] Saik: but something is causing the problem and you don't know what. It wouldn't be a good idea to try a different browser just in case. [04:13] xangua: Saik is using the site itself, not the IM. [04:13] Unmet dependencies. Try using -f ??? [04:14] dave_: apt-get install -f does sound like something I'd try. [04:14] leo_rockway, I'm using Firefox updated to latest [04:14] one html site I visit w/ firefox lost the formatting a few days ago; it is a solid white background w/the text on the left. works fine in opera. any ideas? thx [04:15] kz6090: meet Saik. Saik, meet kz6090. Both have problems with latest Firefox. [04:15] latest, yes === kotuku8 is now known as crispybbq [04:15] when was FF updated inubuntu? [04:15] kz6090: I don't use Firefox, but you could report a bug. [04:15] I didn't note the date, I didn't think it was important [04:16] nope [04:16] kz6090, what site was it for you that screwed up? you an pm it if you want [04:16] stratfor.net [04:17] oops, .com* [04:17] kz6090, .net is an ad site for me [04:17] which in your opinion is better; firefox or opera? [04:17] Hi. I installed Linux Mint and then removed all packages from Linux Mint and removed the repository, but now my GRUB and Plymouth themes are the same. How do I revert them? [04:18] Saik, sry, it's .com [04:18] kz6090, .com is an actual site, and is formatted etc fine [04:18] armegeddon466: I'd recommend Chromium over both. [04:18] armegeddon466: It is completely a matter of personal preference.

[04:19] xangua: Please read what I wrote instead of the first 4 words. [04:19] MindVirus1: hasn't Mint upgraded to Debian? [04:19] leo_rockway: No, that's LMDE -- Linux Mint Debian Edition. It's rolling release. [04:19] kz6090, I'm using FF right now, it's loaded fine [04:19] xangua: I am running Ubuntu. [04:19] Anyone have any advice on how to allow my ubuntu server to send e-mail? [04:19] From like drupal or wordpress [04:20] MindVirus1: oh, okay. Rolling release sounds good. [04:20] chrislabeard=}} you need to install the mail server on it [04:20] leo_rockway: It's got some kinks to work out. [04:20] Saik, sadly not here. i'm checking LQ atm. Someone is sure to have solved this issue already. [04:20] mobasher: So if I install a mail server than my domains can send e-mails?

[04:20] I just want it to send e-mails I don't want to set up a mail service [04:20] chrislabeard: if you want to set up a mailing relay it's very easy. [04:21] chrislabeard: look for... gimme a second, I'll give you the package name. [04:21] k awesome [04:21] chrislabeard=}} how are you going to send mail without the Mail Transfer Agent [04:21] kz6090, hm? [04:21] mobasher: mail relay. [04:22] chrislabeard: look for msmtp. You can relay your emails to, say, GMail. [04:22] Mail relay sounds like what I need [04:22] kz6090, have you tried reinsalling ff? [04:22] one thing i removed unsupported compiz plugins [04:22] that helped [04:23] So that will allow drupal to send e-mails to users? [04:23] chrislabeard: it's _very_ easy to configure, but if you have trouble, let me know. [04:23] no, i'll try it now. [04:23] I installed Linux Mint and then removed all packages from Linux Mint and removed the repository, but now my GRUB and Plymouth themes are the same. How do I revert them? [04:23] chrislabeard: mmhh... maybe drupal will let you configure an external smtp. I know phpBB let me. [04:23] I wish i knew how dreamhost had their stuff set up [04:23] dave_: What is your problem? If it directly related to compiz, ask in #compiz [04:23] kz6090, lemme know if that solves it for you, cause if it does I'm gonna probably have to do that here too [04:23] leo_rockway=}} that is a MTA [04:24] solved [04:24] Saik, will do. [04:24] MindVirus1: then please explain betteer yourseld, what are you refering to when you say 'linux mint' a PPA¿¿ linux mint repositories¿¿ [04:24] How can I bypass the "allow executing file as a program" setting? I'm trying to install a windows program with wine from the CD and it wont let me set the "allow executable" option since I can't write to CD [04:24] kz6090, thanks [04:24] mossby: msmtp-mta is the mta... [04:24] leo_rockway: It will alias the from name to whatever is set in drupal but thats as far as the configuration settings go for e-mail [04:24] xangua: Linux Mint is basically Ubuntu with an extra repository. [04:24] Some of the packages overwrite base Ubuntu files. [04:25] MindVirus1: no it's not, if you are using linux mint go to their channel [04:25] Removing the packages does not undo those changes. [04:25] i removed all compiz with synaptic, re-installed with synaptic without the unsupported plugins soreu [04:25] xangua: You do not know better than I do. [04:25] dave_: That doesn't explain what you're problem is though [04:25] i downloaded a movie from torrentreactor site,i m getting following error,vlc cannot read the file ,it is in .wmv format [04:25] seems to fixed the dependacies [04:25] xangua: Thanks for your help.

[04:27] shiftingcontrol: if it does have DRM, probably not. [04:27] Saik: VLC doesn't need codecs. [04:27] Does anyone know what packages the Ubuntu GRUB, Plymouth and GDM themes are in? I noticed plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo but for some reason it says it cannot be downloaded.

"right" [04:27] Saik: i exported the bookmarks, uninstalled, did sudo apt-get autoremove, reinstalled, imported bookmarks, and voila! :) Page formatting is restored. [04:28] shiftingcontrol, have you tried another player? [04:28] the autoremove may have been unnecessary, idk. [04:28] shiftingcontrol: DRM is a thing that tries to stop illegal copying of media.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:30] Saik: I believe totem uses gstreamer. I could be wrong, though. [04:30] jub369: no. [04:30] I wish that Nautilus would not crash. When it does, it takes all of its windows, of course. It seems to manage any icons shown on the desktop as well; and when I restart it, it doesn't restore the desktop icons. [04:30] leo_rockway, no idea either way tbh [04:30] Does anyone know what packages the Ubuntu GRUB, Plymouth and GDM themes are in? I noticed plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo but for some reason it says it cannot be downloaded. [04:30] then how help[ful is the is it leo lol [04:31] Can I protect against Nautilus crashes in any way?

[04:31] totem does use gstreamer, but when totem searched for codecs, i think it bypasses the ugly set. on my setup it installed codecs but only played audio for wmv's. I had to use synaptic to find all the gstreamer codecs.

Are you looking for another choice? [04:32] hello everybody [04:32] xiong: Something's wrong with your session manager, which is why it's not restarting, or nautilus itself is crashing during the restart process. [04:32] shiftingcontrol: avi is not a format, though. [04:33] xiong: GIMP works. [04:33] xiong: Does any particular action cause it to crash? [04:33] endhiran, GIMP can edit psd files [04:33] leo_rockway:wot avi is not format then ? [04:33] shiftingcontrol: no, it's a container. [04:33] shiftingcontrol: the format would be Xvid, or DivX or... whatever. [04:33] kz6090, check pm [04:33] MindVirus1, Um, I don't see how this has anything to do with a session manager. If I restart the system, then Nautilus will certainly come back, with all the desktop icons. [04:33] shiftingcontrol=}} then there is a problem ..maybe your file is corrupt or not working...check the md5 against the sever and see if it was the same or check comments to see if the file worked for anyone..usually there is alot of garbage people upload on those sites [04:34] Saik:ok.then teach me how to open .psd please:'( [04:34] xiong: Your session manager is supposed to restart nautilus when it crashes. [04:34] leo_rockway, Yes, generally GIMP does it. [04:34] ok let me try those stuffs [04:34] endhiran, just open gimp and select the file, like all other types [04:34] xiong: there are some cases where it might complain.

[04:35] Yes Mobasher [04:35] endhiran: so give it a try. [04:35] just now [04:36] xiong: I doubt your session manager is having problems, as everything is working. [04:36] xiong: Try running `nautilus --replace` in a terminal. [04:36] shiftingcontrol: yeah, you can't really do much about it. Probably some MPAA slave uploaded that as decoy.

But if I'm not logging in, then how does the session manager come into it? [04:36] ii ran on X10 aso low as iso recorder let me [04:36] xiong: Your session manager stays open for the duration of your session. [04:36] and as low as my CDS let me [04:36] does Ubuntu still have the "check CD" before the installation menu pops up? [04:36] xiong: It restarts vital processes to your session.

If I $ nautilus then, yes, it starts managing the desktop again. But then, I have a terminal window that I must not tamper with for the duration of my session. If I restart by clicking in the 'Places' menu, then the desktop icons don't come back. [04:43] wmv a VIDEO format, to mp3 an AUDIO one? [04:43] xiong: It's not supposed to be a soluton. [04:43] *solution. [04:43] shiftingcontrol: you extract the audio from the wmv file [04:43] xiong: It's a diagnostic tool to see if nautilus spews anything out as an error.

[04:44] Saik did u ge it [04:45] anyone have any sound issues when upgraded to 10.10? [04:45] xiong: So, you say going into the Places menu causes a crash? [04:45] this is a chrome question. I have "offer to save password" checked, but it never offers to save my password. what am I doing wrong? [04:45] Oh, leo_rockway, I don't doubt I can get back somehow. I'd rather prevent the crashing. [04:45] xiong: Is it random, or does something trigger it? [04:45] xiong: yeah, of course. But nohup saves the output and it will help you debug the crash. [04:45] MindVirus1, No. I'm saying that restarting from the Places menu doesn't restore management of the desktop. [04:45] jub369, it's not a valid link [04:46] I'm totally unclear as to why Nautilus might crash in the first place. [04:46] xiong: That's what I'm trying to figure out. So in your experience it was random? [04:46] MindVirus1=}} what build are you working with ?? [04:46] xiong: You gotta understand all the information I have is "nautilus crashes".

I was more fishing for known vulnerabilities, to see if any of them looked similar to my experience. [04:47] MindVirus1=}} and your nautilus is crashing ?? [04:47] mobasher: No, xiong's is. [04:47] MindVirus1=}} ohh i'm sorry.. [04:48] xiong: This is a puzzle that I want to put together. [04:48] mobasher: You did nothing wrong. [04:48] xiong: you could browse the bugs, filter them by "nautilus" [04:48] xiong: Try to cause the crash while nautilus is in a terminal window. [04:48] I suspect that the risky action is deleting a folder in one tab while it is open in another tab. [04:48] Chances are nautilus will vomit something out which you can then Google.

[04:53] Saik the drivers i got are brand new i just installed the drivers yesterday when ir estrored my pc to windows 7 and updated the bios [04:53] /usr/share/aclocal/snacc.m4:24: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_SNACC,any idea how to fix this ? [04:53] MindVirus1, yeah [04:53] i did create a separate /boot partition that wasn't a part of the raid array [04:53] armegeddon466: That's very odd. [04:53] jacobbaker: most likely [04:53] MindVirus1, anyway i can remove my user password temporarily? [04:53] armegeddon466=}} do you want to reset the password ? [04:53] so my burner is not messed up [04:54] armegeddon466: Sounds risky, but yes. [04:54] jacobbaker: but I'm not 100% sure. I'd research more if I were you. [04:54] armegeddon466: try it with no password first [04:54] What's the name for "Password and encryption key manager" on 10.10 ? [04:54] ryan___, i did lol :P [04:54] armegeddon466: passwd -d. [04:54] i cant find it [04:54] It's not a good idea though. [04:54] leo_rockway: that's what i'm doing, thank you :) [04:54] Not at all. [04:54] ah, its in system [04:54] nvm [04:54] jacobbaker: yup, sorry I can't be more helpful. [04:54] Pilif12p: seahorse. [04:55] shiftingcontrol: It's a warning, so it should be fine.

I'm gonna try epiphany :@ [04:55] JoeSomebody: I believe the release date is already in place for Ubuntu+1. [04:55] JoeSomebody, yeah the 10th of the 10th [04:55] shiftingcontrol: Look for "error". [04:55] lol @ airtonix [04:55] JoeSomebody, of the 10th [04:56] armegeddon466: Your account may be too unprivileged to run sudo. [04:56] mobasher, im serial [04:56] MindVirus1, whats an accound key? [04:56] armegeddon466: I have no idea. [04:56] :) [04:56] hahhaa...man people really need to learn how to use the google i tell ya [04:56] armegeddon466: Never heard of it, so it probably doesn't exist. [04:57] armegeddon466: (Assuming we're talking about a user account in Ubuntu.) [04:57] armegeddon466, account key? [04:57] armegeddon466: Could be your password. [04:57] when grub rescue> is coming up and i type 'set' it's showing root=md0 after the install, instead of something like 'hd0' like i might expect [04:57] MindVirus1, maybe... [04:57] Saik, any luck? [04:57] mobasher: I like duckduckgo better... mind you o.o [04:57] kz6090, still messed up here [04:57] i bet ya there will be a site showing you how to piss now days on google..it's that simple [04:58] MindVirus1, maybe this will help, i don't have a password for the encryption thing [04:58] !ot | mobasher [04:58] mobasher: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:58] MindVirus1, does that affect anything? [04:58] armegeddon466: Please be more specific. I don't know what "encryption thing" is. [04:58] armegeddon466, account key? [04:58] MindVirus1, 1 min lemme find out what it's called [04:58] encrypted keyring, I bet [04:59] Saik: That should have nothing to do with his ability to use sudo. [04:59] MindVirus1, password and encryption keyring [04:59] seahorse [04:59] armegeddon466: Seahorse. That should have no effect. [04:59] where are my logs on ubuntu [04:59] /var/log [04:59] z00m, what sort of log [05:00] MindVirus1, i dunno whts wrong lol...lemme try rebooting...back in a flash :) [05:00] who can't use sudo? [05:00] incoming web traffic [05:00] leo_rockway: armegeddon466. Says his password is wrong. [05:00] yeah [05:00] are you in the sudoers list? [05:00] z00m, system logs including web server log are usually in /var/log by default [05:00] leo_rockway: It wouldn't say his password would be wrong. [05:00] wth... um.. anyone got an idea how to make my "start menu" close? (and don't say click away from it, I'm not a moro, I already did that, 20ish times) [05:00] how do i check if im in the list? [05:00] It would say "you're not in the sudoers list. This incident will be reported." [05:00] MindVirus1: true. [05:01] armegeddon466: That's not the problem. [05:01] Could be pam or shadow. [05:01] armegeddon466, you sure you typed it right? [05:01] Saik, yes, i'm sure [05:02] i miss yum, is there a way to upgrade a specific package such as firefox [05:02] MindVirus1, im gonna try rebooting now, brb [05:02] dijonyummy=}} try synaptic [05:02] ok, epiphany shows them, but ff doesn't [05:02] dijonyummy: if you try to install it, it will upgrade it, I think. [05:02] obviously someing in ff wasn't purged.. [05:02] dijonyummy: but, seriously, I don't like apt that much either, but missing yum? o.o [05:03] ah.. there it goes [05:03] eh [05:03] kids [05:03] Saik: cache? [05:03] Saik, working now? [05:03] nakedgoat: hello [05:03] yum is cool, you can put in a script and autoinstall all your apps after a new release [05:03] leo_rockway, kz6090 aparenty, after I installed epiphay lol [05:03] dijonyummy, name a package manager that couldn't do that [05:03] ha [05:03] dijonyummy: the same can be done with apt... [05:03] leo_rockway: how's it going [05:03] Saik: So removing .mozilla didn't fix it? [05:04] nakedgoat: I'm just peachy and you? [05:04] MindVirus1, nope.. [05:04] leo_rockway: good good [05:04] i'm high as effffffff [05:04] Saik: I bet it did; I think you just had a hidden Firefox process open and not anymore. [05:04] MindVirus1, on another issue, any idea where the addresses it stores to the address bar are stored at? [05:04] Saik: No idea. [05:04] Saik: Definitely in .mozilla though.

[05:06] Saik=}} check in .mozilla/firefox [05:06] armegeddon466: Try "gksudo synaptic". [05:06] hmm...anyway to remove the password using gui? i can enter my password perfectly everywhere except in the terminal... [05:07] Saik=}} use a grep on it -> grep * [05:07] armegeddon466: Ahh!

[05:12] * UbuN2 bows to bazhang [05:12] Tokumei: I thought I was paranoid... [05:12] Tokumei: Yes. [05:12] MindVirus1, would you believe it did nothing at all? [05:12] Tokumei: Try ecryptfs. [05:13] Saik: Killing gnome-panel? [05:13] yes [05:13] Yes, I would. It's frozen. [05:13] Tokumei, theoretically it can be done, assuming you've got data swapped. therefore people encrypt swap as well [05:13] it closed and did nothing [05:13] MindVirus1: swap can only be swap [05:13] I'm jus gonna reboot, brb [05:13] Saik: Wait, what? [05:13] leo_rockway: The same of your narrative applies to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.35/debian. It follows that your narrative is true but is no precise answer to my question. [05:13] leo_rockway: What do you mean? [05:13] how to I get built-in webcam to work - Dell Vostro 2510 [05:13] leo_rockway: Swap is RAM, just on your hard drive. RAM holds a lot of sensitive information. [05:13] MindVirus1: no, nevermind, icarus-c's answer showed me I'm ignorant. [05:14] i thought i read somewhere in the ubuntu wiki in the article about encrypted home or private directories that the problem with swap not being encrypted was going to be fixed in 10.04 hopefully [05:14] I didn't know swap could be encrypted. [05:14] anyone setup ipv6 using a cisco as the RA? [05:14] it's not fixed yet? [05:14] if i encrypt my swap, i also want hibernate to work [05:14] Tokumei: Again, ecryptfs. [05:14] ecryptfs sounds like it will break hibernate :p [05:14] i'm afraid hibernate wouldn't work with encrypted swap [05:14] Tokumei: I don't know about how it deals with hibernate. [05:14] lol [05:14] MindVirus1, hm..hitting log out cleared it, and I just canceled it lol [05:14] swap should always be encrypted by default no matter what, if it's not, that's definitely a bug [05:14] bullgard4: read the Debian help on compiling the kernel. [05:15] Tokumei: Should RAM? [05:15] and isn't encryptfs a file system level stuff? i thought you need luks or block device level encrypt for swap [05:15] pretty gaping security hole. and no, ram is volatile [05:15] Tokumei: So is swap. [05:15] ram degrades over time when you power off [05:15] swap isnt volatile, it's on a hard disc, and magnetic storage isnt volatile [05:15] MindVirus1, I think it's official, my mother's pc just doesn't like me [05:15] Tokumei has a point. [05:15] encrypting ram wouldnt be a bad idea either [05:15] Tokumei: You might like swapspace as a temporary measure. [05:15] it's just not as important as encrypting swap [05:15] Tokumei: And slow it down? [05:15] Tokumei, but i think it is almost impossible to recover useful data/information from swap anyway [05:16] Tokumei: swapspace is basically just a file on your / partition that acts as swap. [05:16] but security is about being paranoid [05:16] yeah, like i said, ram isnt as important (or practical) as encrypting swap [05:16] why does my computer sometimes use like 2mb of swap when i have about 4gb free ram? [05:16] swap should *definitely* be encrypted though [05:16] ram chips arnt very volitile either youd be suprised how much you can get pullig a ram chip out a (recently) running PC and dumping it. [05:16] Tokumei: It starts out at 0MB until it's needed. [05:16] it's not impossible, it's "possible" [05:17] you can potentially extract sensitive information from swap [05:17] the1994: say you open Firefox and you open 300 tabs... some of them are going to be in RAM and some in swap... [05:17] Obviously cat /dev/sdswappartition is a lot easier than wiring a RAM chip. [05:17] the1994: say you start killing tabs that are in RAM. The ones in swap still remain open. [05:17] i never manage to even get close to using 6gb [05:17] the1994: there is a way to transfer swap2ram... [05:17] of ram [05:17] i found a tool called Freeme2 ,its available in sourceforge.net,have any one tried tad ? [05:17] Tokumei, what are you doing on your pc right now? [05:17] the1994: huh... then that's weird. [05:17] ram encryption isnt as important as encrypting swap because ram is volatile, magnetic hard drives arent/ [05:18] my prob is its shows buffer over flow [05:18] i mean..it's not really a problem, i was just wondering [05:18] Tokumei: ecryptfs will do it. [05:18] Saik: that is irrelevant. [05:18] What is more important? [05:18] the1994: it is a problem, though. RAM is way faster than a hard drive. [05:18] Hibernation or security? [05:18] Tokumei, no, it is NOT, or I wouldn't be askig [05:18] For now you have to pick. Who knows? Hibernate might even work. [05:18] hello! [05:18] hello adzy [05:18] mind virus: i think they're both important for any mainstream OS [05:18] true, but it's only like 2mb, doesn't happen very often, and i can't tell the difference [05:18] whats up ? [05:18] Tokumei: No. For you. [05:18] the1994: okay [05:18] adzy: the ceiling... [05:19] lol plz.... [05:19] Tokumei: Security isn't as big of an issue as needing to encrypt the swap to most users. [05:19] MindVirus1: security and flexibility are selling points of an operating system [05:19] That's NSA type stuff. [05:19] run bleachbit [05:19] * icarus-c notes that encrypted swap would impose performance penalty [05:19] icarus-c: No, it wouldn't. [05:19] Your hard drive is ridiculously slow. [05:19] people still hibernate? [05:19] Tokumei: Why not complain about most distributions not encrypting /home? [05:19] blakkheim: on laptops, yes. [05:19] MindVirus1: i can argue that all of the vulnerabilities in windows isnt as imporant and it's "nsa-type stuff" [05:20] MindVirus1: because bazhang will tell you off for talking about other distros in #ubuntu [05:20] MindVirus1: how do you know that i dont? [05:20] Tokumei: So you come here to complain about theoretical security? [05:20] This is an #ubuntu support channel. You wanted to encrypt swap, I told you how. [05:21] i'd like to setup ipv6 :) [05:21] well wouldnt that break hibernation though? would it ask me for my password when i resume from hibernation and use that to decrypt swap? [05:21] kb3ien: see miredo [05:21] MindVirus1=}} there should be a ubunt-complain channel as well..just for the hell of it [05:21] Tokumei: I don't know. [05:21] Tokumei: Which do you want more -- encrypting swap, or hibernation? [05:21] Tokumei, does it happen FROM startup? [05:21] mobasher: isn't there #debian for that? o.o [05:22] also, i came here to find out if the problem was fixed with hibernation being broken. does anybody else know? [05:22] Tokumei: it depends on the laptop [05:22] #1 noob here... i'm trying to setup evolution to send out emails... i have already managed to configure it to receive emailsfrom an certain account [05:22] Tokumei: Nobody will answer that question. [05:22] not tunnels, i want to accept an RA from my router. [05:22] leo_rockway=}} lol...yea that's true...else u can jump to gentoo ...naaaaa [05:22] MindVirus1: nobody? D: [05:22] i already checked the documentation but i realized that after many trials, i absolutely have no idea what is going on [05:22] :( [05:22] Tokumei: Bet you my pride. [05:22] And if someone answers, they'll be pulling it out of their ass. [05:22] Tokumei: answer is 42... you can have Tokumei's pride now. [05:22] can someone point me in the right direction [05:23] Point proven. [05:23] MindVirus1: -.- [05:23] deokanon=}} whas up buddy [05:23] deokanon check out thunderbird [05:23] Tokumei: encrypting swap doesn't ask for a password on wakeup, only cold boot [05:23] enter your email address and password, and you're done [05:23] Tokumei: I think your question is actually very interesting, but I don't have the answer. I actually never considered it until now. [05:23] deokanon: didn't get the issue. u can receive mail is what u say [05:23] yep [05:23] can't send them ? [05:23] Khedron: Assuming you just showed me up, can you help me? [05:23] nope [05:23] Khedron: how will it decrypt my swap when i resume from hibernation then? [05:24] Tokumei, it doesn't [05:24] Khedron: or will hibernation just fail? [05:24] MindVirus1: with what [05:24] yes, just fail [05:24] Khedron: update-notifier doesn't show an icon. Need to reinstall the default GRUB, Plymouth, and GDM themes. [05:25] coolwhiz: yeah it's absolute fail ;( to be able to receive but no sending :( [05:25] Tokumei: no it should work fine, does for me anyhow [05:25] i'm going tocheck out thunderbird [05:25] deokanon: Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Accounts -> Select account -> [05:25] and go into Outgoing mail [05:25] MindVirus1: no clue, sorry [05:25] 'Sending Mail' [05:25] Darn. [05:26] hello [05:26] Khedron: so hibernation w/ encrypted swap does work? awesome [05:26] (If I would have said anything else it would have been !language for me.) [05:26] Tokumei: I'm 25% sure he's talking out his ass, but have my pride anyways. [05:26] coolwhiz: what's n ext [05:26] kz6090: I am not sure about Thunderbird and calendar integration with gnome. Evolution worked alright for me so far [05:26] deokanon: what email service do you use? some email providers dont have the feature of sending email without using the web interface [05:26] hello ylmfos [05:27] yeah... i was using hotmail but i can't find the damn http server type [05:27] deokanon: what do u see in sending mail options. have you configured smtp ? [05:27] coolwhiz, it works fine here. i've been happy with it. [05:27] maybe that's part of the problem [05:27] so i went along with pop [05:27] i also tried imap [05:27] deokanon: i doubt hotmail supports stmp, which is the protocol you typically use to send outgoing mail [05:27] that works fine as well [05:27] deokanon: pop and imap are to recieve [05:27] gmail supports it though, i suggest it [05:27] Tokumei: hotmail supports pop [05:28] deokanon: smtp to send [05:28] deokanon: does hotmail provide pop / imap service? [05:28] aha [05:28] xangua: does it support stmp? [05:28] only to receive leo [05:28] but sending is a problem [05:28] leo_rockway: pop [05:28] DLNA recommendations? I used to use mediatomb, but with the maverick release it seems to be segmentation faulting most of the time, I've tried rygel, but it seems to randomly not see files in the media export directory. hints? thoughts? What am I doing wrong? [05:28] deokanon: gmail supports pop3, imap, and stmp for sending and receiving mail. i suggest using imap instead of pop as imap is superior. [05:28] Tokumei: yes, but I don't know if you need to do anything if you do it manually, i've always installed via the alternative installer which sets it up [05:28] xangua: I didn't know that, okay. [05:29] deokanon: Hotmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.live.com (SSL enabled, port 25) [05:29] Tokumei: well i can only say everytime i try to sent a mail with hotmail in any mail client, it fails :S worked for a while [05:29] Tokumei: the superiority of imap is debatable. They have different uses. [05:29] Khedron: is swap encrypted by default, or do you have to select "encrypted home directory" in ubuntu 10.10? [05:29] deokanon: configure that in sending mail tab and you should be good [05:29] Tokumei: Definitely not. [05:29] Tokumei: you need to use the 'alternative' install disk, which is the debian one, it gives the option to encrypt everything [05:29] (It's not encrypted by default.)

[05:58] coolwhiz: yeah lol, it's often used for ppl who dual boot as a sort of inbetween format [05:58] Gryllida, when ever i move the mouse over anything it disappears [05:58] Chaos2358: hit ctrl+alt+f1, type your username, your password, type 'sudo reboot now', then try logging on after it reboots, making new user and testing for the issue (do that ONLY if you are in sudoers group) [05:58] Is it possible to set up the bookmarks in the Places menu as individual submenus for accessing subfolders inside each bookmarked folder?

[06:49] 2.6.35 rather [06:49] theres proberly a dozen IM clients that can do 'text' emssaging witn YM - no idea on voice/video chatting. [06:49] Digital_1, for me it was the new xorg :\ [06:49] coz_: it's woefully outdated [06:50] Digital_1, it hates my nvidia card apparently. [06:50] vu1kan, ah ok I never used it [06:50] What card? [06:50] replicasex, what's it do? [06:50] YMSG proto 6...they're onto like 11 now [06:50] the1994, it froze up my system a lot whenever I did anything randomly intensive. [06:50] and uh .. lemme check which card [06:51] NVidia? [06:51] to fix my problem, should I apt-get remmove all of these packages in the 'obsolete' part? [06:51] like only graphics intensive stuff lags really bad? [06:51] the1994, yup [06:51] same [06:51] hey everytime i reduce a window it disappears [06:51] it is rather annoying [06:51] doesn't happen too often [06:51] where'd it go [06:51] i have a fairly nice card, dunno the model exactly [06:51] i have 9800gtx+, rather old.. [06:51] the1994, it always happened with banshee and pocasts for me. [06:51] podcasts* [06:52] happens to me while playing runescape (lol) [06:52] I have a geforce gtx 260 or something [06:52] yeah that is pretty good [06:52] a lot better than mine [06:53] the1994: not a bad card at all [06:53] 9800 GTX is comparable tot he 250GTS [06:53] GTS 250 * [06:53] I had to go back to 10.04 [06:53] i know it isn't bad..it was really good for the price [06:53] john38: right click panel -> add item -> windows list [06:53] when i say 'comparable' [06:53] But hey, that's what LTSs are for right? [06:53] i mean 'exact same' [06:54] idk what i would use a better one for really..don't play games in windows anymore [06:54] any help with firefox and gtk-gnash. gtk-gnash slows the system to a crawl. [06:54] the1994: if you don't game then it's more than you'll ever need [06:54] yeah, i'd rather upgrade processor :P [06:54] ActionParsnip, never say never :) [06:54] although..no need atm [06:54] ActionParsnip, wheww thanks [06:55] if OpenCL takes off, then you'll want a good graphics card too :p [06:55] core i7 920 is nice :P [06:55] replicasex: i said 'ever' ;) gives me a getout clause [06:55] the1994, I have an i7950 :P [06:55] then again, openCL, or some deriviative is the future [06:55] i need a cpu cooler so i can overclock more haha [06:56] how can i get the indicator applet to reflect when i have new mail [06:56] john38: the apps werent dying, just not shown. You could swap between them with ALT+TAB ;) [06:56] what is 950 stock speed? [06:56] I'm planning to buy a laptop and will run Linux on it. I wanted to install Linux on a connected esata drive so that I dont mess with the os that it comes with in case it has some incompatible hardware and I have to return it. So my question is: Is esata just as fast as internal sata drives? [06:56] Has any noticed that vista is prone to self destructing when it's dual booted with a linux distro? [06:56] Hi :) If I already have an SSH tunnel open, and I now need to have a tunnel created, can I do this without closing the current connection? If yes, how? [06:56] nickolaus: no [06:56] the1994: ask in ##hardware [06:56] nickolaus: gotta do them right [06:56] oh [06:56] I ran them side by side for years [06:56] windows then ubuntu [06:56] of course [06:56] if i have to join another channel i might as well look it up online lol [06:57] hey guys, how can I enable my network card? When I do lshw -C network i see it's disable [06:57] nickolaus: install vista to a portion of the space, leave space unpartitioned, then tell ubuntu to install to the space [06:57] the1994, i believe its 3.0ghz [06:57] the1994, maybe 2.8ghz [06:57] prob 2.8 or 2.93 or something like that [06:57] Can someone help me with Unetbootin? [06:58] soulshadow the issue is that windows vista seems to be very prone to stop working when I dual boot it with unbuntu or kubuntu [06:58] venilsurya: ask away [06:58] nickolaus: stop working how? [06:58] I mean, I have't had an install of vista last more that 15-30 boots before it because unusable [06:58] like won't boot? [06:59] nickolaus: a better question is whyt he hell do you have vista? [06:59] ActionParsnip: I've put puppylinux on a USB drive using Unetbootin. When I restart the computer (with the USB in), a screen appears with default and puppy [06:59] Digital_1 windows fails to load [06:59] ActionParsnip: If I click Enter, nothing happens [06:59] Does anyone have an answer to my question? [06:59] venilsurya: i'd ask in #puppylinux [06:59] ActionParsnip: Thanks [07:00] the1994, 945 is 3.0 955 is 3.2 [07:00] can I do a dist-upgrade but use the cd rather than the internet? [07:00] the1994, you mean quad core? [07:00] (the alternate disk for 10.10) [07:00] yeah [07:00] thanks [07:00] Hi :) If I already have an SSH tunnel open, and I now need to have a tunnel created, can I do this without closing the current connection? If yes, how? [07:00] Daremonai: sure, use the alternate ISO [07:00] soulshadow brother's old install crashed then reminded me of all the hell vista put me through and was wondering if anyone had an idea. I did a little googling but came up with more answers than I could make sense of. [07:00] i got the phenom II X4 955 [07:01] i've never had that issue with dualbooting [07:01] i haven't kept up on amd processors in a while :P so i have no clue what that is haha [07:01] ActionParsnip, yes I know, but if i use the cdromupgrade aproach, but it's crashing, i was wondering if i can do: apt-get dist-upgrade but using the cd in the sources.list r smth [07:02] nickolaus: Were you able to boot it in safe mode? [07:02] I think in safe mode you can watch the drivers load and see what's failing. [07:02] Daremonai: you can add the CD as a repo in software centre [07:02] Daremonai: Yeah. Add the CD to your sources (using apt-cdrom add) and then go through the regular upgrade process. [07:02] ok [07:02] Daremonai: (or the software center, yeah) [07:03] the1994, theres a six-core now amd and intel amd is 3.2ghz for $269 intel is like $999 [07:03] i have the six core amd [07:03] yeah but i think the intel one destroys it [07:03] for a price.. [07:03] some of intel's quad cores beat amd's six cores.. :/ [07:03] the1994, im sure there isnt much considerable diffrence [07:03] digital_1 no, doesn't get that far [07:04] i think there is between amd 6 core and intel 6 core [07:04] i bet the intel heats up like hell $600 more [07:05] fastest single processor you can buy :P [07:05] i think [07:05] nickolaus that's odd. Like I said I had no problem dual booting for years. Vista hasn't changed, so maybe newer versions of grub aren't playing nicely for some reason. [07:05] how can you check which packages have unmet dependencies? [07:06] this is the thing when i download Ubuntu and burn it to disk it wont boot when i start computer [07:06] <_Beast> Is there a stable version of steams Counter Strike that you can run on ubuntu ? [07:06] you need one of those specialized alternate cds [07:06] Is there a specific channel for Ubuntu Netbook Edition? [07:07] I have a Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) and I can't enable visual effect, could anyone help please [07:07] ok, libdrm-nouveau1: Breaks: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (< 1:0.0.16) but 1:0.0.15+git20100219+9b4118d-0ubuntu5 is to be installed [07:08] Asthar, can that even handle visual effects? [07:08] Asthar, you mean normal effects are enabled be default? [07:08] join/ #firefox [07:09] the1994 I was able to use them a few minutes ago but i added the compiz ppa and updated to the latest version, thats when i got the issue [07:09] Asthar, is it ati or nvidia [07:09] john38, it's intel [07:09] I think you mean /join #firefox [07:09] exit [07:10] none of those, it is an integrated intel Graphic card, I purged all the dependencies and packages fromcompiz and reinstalled them, but when I try to enable the Normal desktop effects, nothing happens [07:10] hi after i change the grub for bootup because my chipset needs to have a special line of code added to grub to boot, for some reason the changes will not save for next boot i.e. i have to edit the grub on boot instead of it saving my changes t the boot code. how can i make those changes permanent? [07:10] Asthar, just disable compiz [07:10] ok just did sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, and now i can proceed.. [07:10] DO NOT USE ANY COMPIZ PPA REPO!!!! it WILL break your working compiz installation [07:11] I mean, the radio button appears selected, but the effects don't work, and when I go back to the appearance and check the visual effects the NONE is selected again.... [07:11] yeah soreau that's what I noticed, but how do I restore my old visual settings? [07:11] Hi, I have an issue with my Broadcom BCM4312 in my Laptop. I can access the web whenever I'm plugged in the power outlet but I lose connectivity once I unplug and switch to battery. [07:11] how do BT4 play mp3?? [07:11] Asthar: Ask in #compiz [07:11] I found in the forum that I had to remove and reinstall compiz an that's what I did but i couldn't [07:12] OK let me check [07:12] Hi, I've just bought a netbook Acer one. When I boot from the usb key I receive this msg: "decompilation or disassembly prohibited" [07:12] Asthar, do you remember which packages dependencies you installed then remove them [07:12] hi for some reason, my wireless network card isnt working and it says there are new driver updates for it, and every time i try to install them, i get some error and it wont install the driver updates. basically, i cant connect to wireless networks because my wireless network card wont work. how can i fix this? [07:12] anyone knows if is there some chance left to install ubuntu netbook on it? === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12p|afk [07:13] hello [07:13] loving maverick 64 bit so far [07:13] john yes i do remember hang on [07:13] any way to see a consoel type output when the software center is stlatting packages?

[07:16] otherwise I don't know of a way to see the text output [07:17] i don't know.. been using ubuntu for about 2 years and in the past when i double lcick the deb i had the option to see the console [07:17] Whoever was talking about having to change grub every single time, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#/etc/grub.d/%20%28folder%29 [07:17] now i see no such thing [07:17] I haven't messed around with grub2, but I think you'd have to edit the custom file in /etc/grub.d === phnom_ is now known as phnom [07:18] Has anyone else had trouble getting Gwibber to update Google Buzz?

[07:21] UbuntuNoob, compizconfig-settings-manager is what you're looking for I think [07:22] softcoder: Compiz is known to be a great compositing window manager. The graphics driver is where performance fails [07:22] UbuntuNoob, system->pref->appearance [07:22] phaedra: thanks [07:22] evilRobotSquid: No idea. Although the facebook one (which is the most popular of all social sites) was broken back in August and is still borked today. [07:22] UbuntuNoob, np [07:22] Digital_1: Oooh, that's not a good sign.

[07:25] digitalstimulus: I don't know of a Myth channel. What's up with MythVideo? [07:25] i don't know anything about that particular printer.

[07:38] Hmm, is there a prefered version of windows to run? ie 32/64 or a streamlined version? [07:38] thanks ActionParsnip! Any idea how to do a right-click on a Mac+VirtualBox (holding down Ctrl usually works, but not in this case)? [07:38] tavish: that was a thank you lol you won the who can help me contest [07:38] Gryllida: TY. i looked at that, but it seems my sitch has to do with the gtk-gnash taking all my processor time. Ubuntu 10.10 and FF 3.6.10 [07:39] ha! ActionParnsip thats terrific, but why have power when you have skill :P [07:39] Darkflare, you'll still have cpu and ram room to play fove hd movies at once [07:39] five* [07:39] mark2010: i am same versions [07:39] Darkflare: if your cpu supports 64bit guests and your app benefits from it then go buy a 64bit licence and installation media [07:39] tedge, macintosh is not supported here [07:39] airtonix... what reason.. other than suspicious reasons.. would you want to play five hd movies at once... [07:39] airtonix, that means i could play like 10 at once [07:39] but..i don't really watch movies [07:39] Darkflare, because its a free world and because i can [07:39] mac is not supported here?

[07:40] y doesn't iso file don't boot in livecd format [07:40] tedge: I have no idea. The whole notion of mac not having right click is hilarious to me. I guess it limits choice like their OS [07:40] I always thought a Mac Genious was an oxymoron. [07:40] mark2010, what's pandora? [07:40] ActionParsnip, it definitely has right click [07:40] Darkflare: yes it is, but windows isnt [07:41] Wooo Mac bashing! [07:41] If they're simple to operate, why do Apple stores have to fill them with Mac Genius' [07:41] Digital_1: what are you trying to do?

[07:46] OLD: if you install xfce4 package, you won't bloat your OS with all the fluff the xubuntu-desktop package comes with [07:46] I just tried out debian with xfce4 that was a mistake [07:46] mark2010: try safe mode as a temp check , yes, for testing [07:46] how can i fix my grub via this live cd ubuntu 9.10?

[07:46] OLD: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [07:47] OLD: yu can install xubuntu desktop over a ubuntu install. or visa-versa.. [07:47] Like, what's the "/" command? [07:47] okay I need to download and install on usb ubuntu 10.04 [07:47] OLD: log out, then when logging in select xce at the bottom before hitting login button [07:47] RPG-Master: search for people by what criterion? [07:47] rww: screen name [07:47] OLD if you need a lightweight desktop try LXDE [07:47] OLD: install xfce4 in software centre.. gives the xfce desktop. If you install xubuntu-desktop you will have a tonne of apps which will mirror you current ones and will bloat your OS unnecessarily [07:47] OLD: you don't need to do anything more for that, than to get ubuntu installed [07:47] RPG-Master: e.g., everyone with "RPG" in their name? you can't. [07:47] so, i can fix grub after resetting MBR? [07:47] Lxde/Lubuntu - is getting very well done - been playing with it all week. [07:48] OLD: if you are in ubuntu, just run 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' in terminal, log out, then when logging in select xce at the bottom before hitting login button [07:48] Doing fresh install from USB [07:48] OLD: gurpreet : gives a sound advice. LXDE is sweeeeet [07:48] PanglimaKhalid: grub installs to the MBR. so im not sure what you mean by 'resetting mbr' [07:48] rww: What if I have their exact name? [07:48] hehe [07:48] OLD: you do NOT need a fresh reinstall to install xfce [07:48] I haven't gotten the USB ready [07:48] RPG-Master: do /whois NICKNAME [07:48] RPG-Master: then why would you need to search for them? [07:48] I need to install linux first =p [07:48] OLD: yes [07:48] OLD: welcome to linux [07:48] :) [07:48] OLD: could install Lubuntu and be done :) [07:49] let me google that [07:49] OLD: i run lxde and i love it. [07:49] Dr_Willis: Thanks... turns out he's not on. [07:49] i'v XP and now i cant boot in XP but only live cd as i am now... [07:49] will everything work like it does in ubuntu [07:49] Lubuntu iso images i noticed are only 32bit. [07:49] Unless i overlooked some 64bit version. [07:49] so if i want to boot in XP ive to reset MBR to boot xp only anf ubuntu will disappeared [07:49] OLD: sure, its just lighter. Iso is 520mb and the install is about1.5gb [07:49] mini 9 32 bit [07:49] '/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.35$ tar -xvf linux-source-2.6.35.tar' prints a lot of messages such as: "tar: linux-source-2.6.35/ubuntu/iscsitarget/compat.h: Cannot execute open: File exists." I do not understand these messages because I did not instruct to open a file. What do mean these messages? [07:49] OLD: the XXXbuntu variants are just different desktops for the most part. [07:50] old have you thought about making the usb bootable? [07:50] OLD: and default app list [07:50] I would use universal usb installer [07:50] ok [07:50] ok [07:51] so what flavor do you recommend? [07:51] me? [07:51] yea [07:51] Ubuntu any sub distro would do [07:51] i use lxde at home [07:51] I love the xfce4 gui hile ubuntu all hardware worked from install [07:51] and gdm at work [07:51] :) === barbara is now known as contessa [07:52] I had issues with debian [07:52] unless this is wrong site [07:52] yes it has a steeper learning curve [07:52] OLD: It is. Try #debian. [07:52] http://lxde.org/ [07:52] lol I am in debian [07:52] cool [07:52] Gryllida: have FF safe mode from terminal have GUI [07:53] lol then ask in #debian [07:53] flash doesn't work so good as it did in ubuntu too [07:53] :-P [07:53] LXDE, awesome! I wish Xubuntu would switch. Maybe Lubuntu doesn't sound as cool? [07:53] I am gonna try lubuntu [07:53] OLD, just install xubuntu and then you can always add lxde to it from the repos [07:53] yes its awesome [07:53] guys are confusing meee lol [07:53] my pidgin keeps segfaulting what should I do? use empathy? [07:53] I think the only thing holding LXDE back is how ugly the default install looks [07:53] I just upgraded to maverick and when I logged in, gnome-panel didn't start correctly. [07:54] evilRobotSquid: Lubuntu looked ok here.. [07:54] I started it manually and then everything was fine, but why does it fail? :/ [07:55] Gryllida: got FF safe... [07:55] only thing about lubuntu I can't torrent it Oo [07:55] OLD: i got it from torrents the other day i belive [07:55] OLD just install default ubuntu from the cd whichever you get [07:55] Why is it, when I grep .bash_history I can see the x11vnc commands I'm looking for, but issuing: history | grep x11vnc ; yeilds nowthing? FYI, I changed the HISTSIZE to 9999 and HISTFILESIZE to 9999 as well. [07:55] PanglimaKhalid: Before doing anything else try just changing the boot order in your BIOS. === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell [07:55] OLD: http://lubuntu.net/tags/lubuntu-1004 [07:56] reading [07:56] lubuntu is using LDXE [07:56] OLD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu torrent links. [07:56] OLD: yes. L-ubuntu - LXDE Ubuntu :) [07:56] or rather http://tinyurl.com/3xsdg85 [07:57] so to sy it also saves mre energy and cpu like lxde.org says? [07:57] OLD: uses less cpu. so that would proberly be true. [07:57] OLD: the desktop exerts less strain on the cpu so it can run slower, using less power [07:58] And for some reason, when I type 'history' .. it starts from 1015 and not 1 ... why? [07:58] Not like theres any major innovations in power saveing. :) [07:58] dr willis [07:58] shai: try: history | head [07:58] its for a laptop [07:58] dell mini 9" screen [07:58] ActionParsnip, like I said... now it starts from 1017 [07:58] It won't start from 1 [07:58] History only rembers a few 1000 lines... [07:59] I guess that's why I can see the commands in .bash_history but not in `history` [07:59] you can set it higher. [07:59] FYI, I changed the HISTSIZE to 9999 and HISTFILESIZE to 9999 as well. [07:59] shai: you can delete the $HOME/.bash_history file and it'll be recreated at 1 [07:59] NO! I need it. [07:59] The commands are there... [07:59] I just need `history` to actually show them... [08:00] shai: $ history 1000 [08:00] shai: this is documented in the history(1) man page [08:00] What does that do? [08:00] it makes no change on what's seen on STDOUT [08:00] Theres also a bash history 'cheetsheet' you can google for that is handy to print out and keep pinned to the wall.

[08:03] yes, both myself and the guest [08:03] shai check the permissions on your .bash_history [08:03] shai: Look at the site.. it has the cheet sheets there.. [08:03] could be set as unreadable [08:04] mark2010: is your OS a clean install or upgrade? [08:04] at least it used to.. it has other cheat sheets.. [08:04] shai: $ history 1000 [08:04] shai: Are you having difficulty typing that command? [08:04] ActionParsnip: yes, clean [08:04] thanks for torrent soooooo much faster [08:04] No. And I responded to when you first wrote it. [08:05] shai: Hopefully typing that command answered your question? [08:05] It does not. [08:05] I had to purge ibus recently, and when I reinstalled it (I use traditional Chinese) I no longer have "Pinyin" and "Bopomofo" in my list of possible inputs, only Chewing and both Canjies. I just installed Maverick on a VM and it shows that Pinyin and Bopomofo come installed by default. How can I get them both back? [08:05] mark2010: ok that's cool, launch it from a terminal without an ampersand. The output may help [08:05] shai: And what question remains? [08:05] gdb, all it does, is show the first command being 1017 .. instead of 1. [08:05] http://www.catonmat.net/blog/the-definitive-guide-to-bash-command-line-history [08:05] the select-and-middle-click copying and pasting seems not to work anymore.... I couldn't find anything about it in the release notes. Was it disabled by the upgrade? [08:05] You will never see command 1 again. [08:05] The command list wil start at 17 and go through 1017. [08:05] why not? [08:05] http://www.catonmat.net/download/bash-history-cheat-sheet.pdf [08:06] Dr_Willis, downloaded it already... [08:06] * gdb gives up. [08:06] ActionParsnip: let me re-do my situation. please. [08:06] gdb, $ cat .bash_history | wc -l [08:06] 2000 [08:06] Why won't I be able to have `history` show all 2000 ? [08:06] chromium > firefox [08:06] gdb: then after another command, 18 to 1018? [08:06] til firefox fixes its bloatedness [08:06] OLD: damn right!

Just run: java /path/to/filename.jar [08:11] how different are the two? [08:11] 99.9% the same. === TermanaN900_ is now known as TermanaN900 [08:11] that's what i thought [08:11] OLD: ubuntu has an autoupdate tool but if you apt-get and stuff it will do the same [08:11] ActionParsnip: do i need to remove the gnash? [08:12] I had to purge ibus recently, and when I reinstalled it (I use traditional Chinese) I no longer have "Pinyin" and "Bopomofo" in my list of possible inputs, only Chewing and both Canjies. I just installed Maverick on a VM and it shows that Pinyin and Bopomofo come installed by default. How can I get them both back? [08:12] gdb Dr_Willis, I made it work... all it was, was that I set the variables in .bash_profile instead of .bashrc where there, were other settings for the same variables (HISTSIZE=1000 and HISTFILESIZE=2000) and that's why it only showed the last 1000 commands.... [08:12] OLD: chromium is the code which chrome is based on [08:12] mark2010: yes or it will conflict [08:12] gdb, now when I type bash 9999 ; it shows ALL the commands I have in .bash_history [08:12] ActionParsnip, where do you get chromium daily build? [08:12] the1994: the daily build ppa [08:12] Chromium is the bleeding edge and is the actua browser [08:12] Chrome is rebranded and made public safe [08:13] OLD: chrome is just stable and has the google tracker stuff in it [08:13] ActionParsnip: TY, then just Chrome?

[08:16] hi [08:16] Senji: you can install ubuntu to a virtualbox system yourself... [08:16] I need help. I used an HDMI cable for video, video works, no sound, but the big, glaring issue is the lack of a theme. [08:16] ActionParsnip i know that [08:16] i got it to work thanks [08:16] Why it happened, I'm unsure. What I want to do is bring things back to normal here. [08:16] mark2010: Open a terminal and type "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/stable" then enter your password. Afterward type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and you're all set.

Smacks too much of microsoft to me [08:17] stand by please [08:17] VirtualBox by oracle [08:17] hi [08:17] You can get the latest chrome from the Software Center I thought. [08:17] Senji if you mean to install it in virtualbox its jus boot it up in the cd on it and install it like normal but in vb [08:17] both stable and unstable === StratDaddy is now known as Skydog [08:17] yeah old i've done that with other oses [08:17] badusha: hello there! [08:17] question guys: I have a server at work I want to access, and I have the id_dsa and id_dsa.pub: what do I do with that file to be able to use the server? [08:17] Yea sneji download the ubuntu iso you want, hit new in VB name it ubuntu select drop down..leave 8gb [08:18] ah i see [08:18] than hit ettings, storage cd disk > select the iso [08:18] Aloha, i got a problem with 10.10, from time to time without any reason the left mouse button stop working, on my usual mouse and on my grafik tablet, any idea why ? === Skydog is now known as skyleaper [08:18] Senji: so you want someone to make youan OS you can just use the image and it works. The apps in the image will alsop be predecided for you, yet you want to use an OS which emphasises freedom and choice? [08:18] action the file in the torrent is broken =( [08:18] ActionParsnip Ubuntu already has defoult install [08:18] so don't gime me that [08:18] Senji: are you having trouble with the installation or just in a hurry? [08:18] Senji: is this intentionally trying to be ironic? [08:18] hurry [08:19] Senji: not necessarily, you can use minimal [08:19] so if you installed it in the vb [08:19] Gryllida: Yes... The culprit is gtk-gnash...let me try these other solutions. Thanks. [08:19] boot from it [08:19] Does running dpkg-reconfigure on the linux-image package you install allow you to optimize it like you can choose to do in the installer? [08:19] Hey small help from you all, [08:19] yaa [08:19] !ask | ashvala [08:19] ashvala: 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. :-) [08:19] ashvala: sup? [08:19] Hi! [08:20] I am on Ubuntu Lucid, After installing the graphics driver for my NVidia card, I cannot go to TTY mode with out crashing X. [08:20] Senji: you can boot to the ubuntu iso, its an image and will give you an OS [08:20] Hit here, I've got a problem with my different terminals (ALT+Fx): Since a long time, I'm running with the proprietary nvidia drivers...and never got any other console working (they look totally cluttered) except the alt f7...is there a solution for this? [08:20] yeah yeah ActionParsnip [08:20] Senji: compatible with virtualbox too [08:20] ashvala: whats your video card? [08:20] i guess i'll have to download the iso and install it myself, am downloading it now [08:21] Guys, I want to know how I can copy multiple files with same name and have them autorenamed? For eg, find ./ -name "file.txt" -exec cp {} ./ ; How do I make it so that if it finds second file it renames it to file2.txt instead of overwriting. [08:21] i'm pretty sure either ubuntu or another of the latest distros had a download a vm image option [08:21] Dr_Willis: NVidia 7200GS [08:21] How can I get "Pinyin" and "Bopomofo" to show up in my ibus IME again? I had to purge ibus and reinstall it, and now they are not there. I use Bopomofo normally. [08:21] plasmasolutions: Bingo, same issue [08:21] Senji: if you mount the iso instead of burning, the install will be superuick. Like installing win98 from a directory on the drive instead of slow ass cd [08:21] n00b question here: I have a TV tuner that sends its audio through the line-in jack on my sound card (with a physical cable), and since updating to 10.10 it's not playing through the speakers any more, and I can't figure out how to get it to [08:22] ActionParsnip yep [08:22] It captures fine through sound-recorder or whatever, but I want to play it through the speakers [08:22] bieber: are you related to Justin Bieber? [08:22] doubt it [08:22] Senji I think we just dont understand the need for a premade VM of ubuntu (or linux) in general [08:22] omg it's Justin Bieber! [08:22] * RudyValencia puts Xubuntu on his lappy [08:23] OLD it's like a live cd in that you just switch it on and it works [08:23] but it's installed [08:23] i think there's a very small cross section of users and users who would want that kind of think [08:23] like verry small [08:23] btw, bieber: there should be a 'mute' button in the mixer for the line-in jack, unmute it [08:23] Haha, no, we just got the same last name [08:23] ah [08:24] ashvala: Feeling a little less luckier now that we are two :) [08:24] I mean I did that today at work [08:24] have any one used free2me here ? [08:24] plasmasolutions:likewise [08:24] i want to learn perl [08:24] istall only took like few minutes really don't know cause I was alt tabbing to work lol [08:24] On the Input tab in the mixer it's unmuted (and showing levels), but there's no line-in option on the output tab [08:24] gurpreet: and whats stopping you? [08:24] someone please tell me a good book to read it [08:24] How can I get "Pinyin" and "Bopomofo" to show up in my ibus IME again? I had to purge ibus and reinstall it, and now they are not there. I use Bopomofo normally. My $LANG is zh_TW.utf8 [08:25] rypervenche: TY i just did this and i'll try it ... thanks everyone for your help, i just got a little overwhelmed! [08:25] gurpreet: theres proberly dozens of them aviliable online for free. check the perl homepage? also check delicious.com for what people have tagged as perl tutorials, perhaps. [08:25] dpac_: i recommend you provide a thorough example, of a "before" state, and an "after" state, for the batch rename script you want. use pastebin and then share it with us the channel. [08:25] could you help me in this please: i installed on my netbook ubuntu 10.10 x64 and modified it to the netbook remix version and it worked fine. then i installed apart the easypeasy 1.6 of ubuntu. now when i boot i can just choose the easypeasy and the ubuntu 10.10 doesn't appear, although it's installed :( [08:25] mark2010: No problem. Oh once you do what I said, you will need to actually install the browser using "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" [08:25] gurpreet: any by that O'reially company are worth looking into. [08:26] Has the audio mixer changed from previous versions, and is there a way I can install the one that was used before? [08:26] Dr_Willis: ty I've been to perl homepage [08:26] have started bit by bit [08:26] tvtime also used to be able to change the line-in output volume, but now it's stuck at 0 [08:26] wow both chrome and chromium destroy sunspider [08:26] gurpreet: /join #perl and read their topic, they will have good resources posted. [08:26] was just asking if anybody had some favs based on experience [08:26] ok [08:26] ejv: Sure, I'll do it. [08:27] rypervenche: TY i just looked and didnt see it. i"ll do that now [08:27] gurpreet: this is the ubuntu support channel, for ubuntu related issues. #perl is the more appropriate place. === barbara is now known as Contessa [08:27] gurpreet: all my perl books are rather old. :) [08:27] hehe [08:27] so is the lang [08:27] ejv: yes duly noted i've joined #perl === Contessa is now known as residntAngel [08:27] I used to code mainly in 'REXX' befor i did perl.

[08:28] lol [08:29] ejv: http://pastebin.com/6xkwxi3B [08:30] could you help me in this please: i installed on my netbook ubuntu 10.10 x64 and modified it to the netbook remix version and it worked fine. then i installed apart the easypeasy 1.6 of ubuntu. now when i boot i can just choose the easypeasy and the ubuntu 10.10 doesn't appear, although it's installed :( [08:31] remo-ch: 'apart the easypeasy' ? clarify what you mean... [08:31] remo-ch: you installed easypesy AND ubuntu both os's on the same machine? If the grub loader for one is not showing both oss you proberly need to let ubuntu handle the grub menu/loader. [08:31] How can I get "Pinyin" and "Bopomofo" to show up in my ibus IME again? I had to purge ibus and reinstall it, and now they are not there. I use Bopomofo normally. My $LANG is zh_TW.utf8 [08:31] sorry for my english... i just installed it on another partition [08:32] remo-ch: the latest grub in ubuntu is rather good at finding OTher oss and setting up the grub menus to show them. If its not. You can always edit the /etc/grub.d/40_custom to add a entry to show the other OS. [08:33] remo-ch: personally i dont see much need for 'easypeasy' these days. Im not sure if its even being actively developed any more. [08:34] mark2010: Any luck? [08:34] rypervenche: thank you for your but unfortunately it did the same thing...lock up on load for pandora [08:35] *help [08:36] dpac: you need a script for that?? [08:36] ok, thanks dr. willis. i'd prefer the ubuntu 10.10 too, but is it complicated to make show the ubuntu 10.10 with grub? i'm not a informatics-genius... [08:37] rypervenche: not quite sure...used to work on 10.04. youtube works....but slow....snail slow. [08:37] remo-ch: If you are lucky. 'sudo update-grub' from ubuntu. will see and set it up... if not - you add a proper entry to that file i m entioned. [08:37] mark2010: So you updated to 10.10 and your flash plugin is slow, that's your problem? [08:37] And of course, my problems were fixed when I rebooted. [08:37] gurpreet: Well, I suppose so [08:38] remo-ch: you sould of installed ubuntu last. :) [08:38] But, why when I hooked into an HDMI monitor and went into a low resolution, did Iose my theme? [08:38] rypervenche: i did not remove the gnash...letme do that [08:39] Hi all. Yesterday the installation of the proprietary drivers for my radeon card went wrong and now I have no graphical interface. Can someone help me isntall the correct driver from the command line? [08:39] i burned a bad cd -- turns out it only downloaded 227 mb of the image. I'm doing a torrent download instead now [08:40] rypervenche: the prob appears to be the gnash...let me get rid of that [08:40] remo-ch, ? have a a look at guides on the internet about editing grub2 menu : one of the files you will deal with is at /boot/grub/grub.cfg [08:40] snowrichard: SHould have just tried HTTP again. [08:40] but i'm out of cdr's so i'll have to use unetbootin and an external usb drive to install [08:40] Also... [08:40] snowrichard: you can start the torrent.. let t downlioad a bit.. then copy that 'bad' cd to the torrent location, and restart the torrent and have it 'check/verify' the data. :) that can save some time.. [08:40] the torrent is going pretty quick [08:41] unetnbootin isn't required anymore if you can use the Universal USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com. [08:41] 'llo. Is there something like screen for X? I have a headless system on which I want to start an X app. I have a remote X server that can display the X app, but then I want to put the X app in background and shut down the remote system. [08:41] snowrichard: i pretty much never burn cd's any more. Usb flash drive installs are the way to go. [08:41] snowrichard, it'll go even quicker if you do what Dr_Willis said [08:41] its actually a 2 TB external, i don't have a flash drive handy lol [08:41] hardwired, i usually use ssh with the -Y paramter [08:41] amazing thing about PendriveLinux, how many of their tools/scripts are windwos only... [08:41] Doesn't matter. [08:42] Oh, that does. [08:42] mark2010: I need to restart. I'll be back in a few minutes. [08:42] snowrichard: You can also set up Grub2 to boot the ISO files. [08:42] adasd? [08:42] But pendrivelinux is in the business of Windows converts. [08:42] rypervenche:ok [08:42] sdfjsdfksdfs [08:42] wuyu [08:42] Rather, Ubuntu converts from Windows.

And if by any chance something does not work, it's harder to know what to swap. With a desktop, if it doesn't work, I can just return it (in the US). === Guest82747 is now known as rkpisanu [09:08] is there a way to enhance my wifi reception?

[09:08] lucadealfaro: linux will work with 99% of the hardware you find, especially if it's modern. you also won't have to pay for a windows license you won't use [09:08] is it possible to move icon from top-left corner in top-right corner ? i use ubuntu 10.10 [09:08] rkpisanu: as in 10.04, yes you can.. just modify the setting in gconf-editor [09:09] !repeat > rkpisanu [09:09] rkpisanu, please see my private message [09:09] rkpisanu: but i dont know about 10.10.. [09:09] ok thanks [09:09] Ok, so the strategy seems to be, go, buy, try. If it does not work, return and repeat. I don't feel sorry returning the hardware; if vendors bothered to state what works with linux, it would not happen. [09:09] how is it possible to run gconf-editor ? [09:10] rkpisanu: run "gconf-editor" [09:10] Thanks blakkheim [09:10] luca anything new built will run 10.04 [09:10] lucadealfaro: and you didn't "want to spend the time" to build.. [09:10] rkpisanu: hit alt+f2 then type 'gconf-editor'.. without the ' of course.. [09:10] lucadealfaro: you should judge the machines generally without linux in mind, then make sure that ubuntu supports the hardware out of the box.

[09:11] lucadealfaro: ubuntu will probably run on most everything you could find in terms of desktops, but there are often quirks involving new hardware [09:12] I decided that if I was building MANY, I would have sufficient components at hand to swap in and out in case of trouble [09:12] But I decided, no more building of one-offs. [09:12] lucadealfaro: if you want to be totally sure, buy one of Dell's Ubuntu machines, or a system76 machine [09:12] Ok thanks.

[09:49] hello everyone, i need some help with the "grub" [09:49] You normally use a patch file to patchsource. then recompuile the source rypervenche . Ive not had to use a patch file in years [09:50] cfenix, explain your exact problem rather than saying you have a problem [09:50] An_Ony_Moose: it seems to be working here. [09:50] <_Beast> nadv: it depends on what chipset or card you have [09:50] Dr_Willis, O.o it suddenly works for me too xD [09:50] nevermind :P [09:50] An_Ony_Moose: ive noticed on some mice.. the middle clicks can be flakey [09:50] Dr_Willis: Aww, so basically it's beyond my ability :( [09:51] rypervenche: no idea.. :) is it.. [09:51] Dr_Willis, the mouse itself is perfectly fine. thanks all the same :) [09:51] <_Beast> lol @ beyond my ability [09:51] An_Ony_Moose: some ive seen let you side scroll. I have a hard time clicking.. and not sidescrolling with them [09:51] sorry about that, i'm new here.. the thing is that every time that i update ubuntu (the kernel) it add a new version in the list of the grub instead of just change it [09:51] cfenix: I notice that also [09:52] cfenix: yeah, you can remove the old versions if you want though [09:52] cfenix: normally the newest kernel is the default. Unless theres some 'save default' option set in the /etc/default/grub file [09:52] cfenix: running 'sudo update-grub' does it [09:52] for some reason that was broken, and now as of the upgrade to Maverick, is working again [09:52] cfenix: the reason why they keep the old one when you get a new kernel version is so that you have a fallback if the new one doesn't work [09:52] cfenix, if you want to remove the old kernel version i recommend using synaptics [09:52] Dr_Willis, I have a perfectly normal vertical scrollwheel that's easy to click with :) [09:53] Why are patches made instead of the problem being fixed and sent to the main package so everyone can benefit from the fix? [09:53] An_Ony_Moose: PEBKAC then? :) [09:53] not having a working kernel means your system is unbootable, which is generally a big problem [09:53] rypervenche: in the next version release they proberly will be ncluded.. [09:53] thanks everyone =) [09:53] xD... I do NOT know. [09:53] When I'm remotely logging into a server, what filename do I have to save the SSH key as in the ./ssh folder?

[09:54] The public key I mean [09:54] Dr_Willis: Next version being Natty or an update of Maverick? [09:54] tensorpudding, right, keeping an old & working kernel is might save your ass one day^^ [09:54] Lanh: authorized_keys, generally [09:54] Lanh: you copy your public key into that file [09:55] got a question too, need to setup a server which mirrors the content of one directory to a secound server in realtime [09:55] Lanh: though you should check the sshd_config file of the server to be sure [09:55] rypervenche: ubuntui tends to not do minor version changes to packages btween releases.

[09:59] lucent, well i go and have a talk with em on monday [09:59] W4RH4WK: well, we have one tomcat app that has three servers reading from the same static nfs folder, so when data gets changed in that folder, all servers are reading the same updated data [09:59] W4RH4WK: userspace tools to mirror files is asking for epic fail [09:59] lucent, xD [10:00] W4RH4WK: using nfs is not making a backup of the files though.. [10:00] if you *must* because of failover reasons (which will probably do just that... fail) then there's a MIRROR target for the LVM DM stuff [10:00] anyone that can tell me or give me a link to how can i convert dynamic disk to basic in ubuntu? found only random outdated-notworking docs on the internet about it [10:01] hello I use ubuntu 10.10, i'm trying to use some midi applications but midi sounds doesn't want to work.Should i modify alsa-base.conf?

[10:03] arvut__: I thought the cure was "more cowbell" ? [10:03] lucent: is it? ! so can I seek songs from the panel itself just by scrolling the rhythm box icon in panel? [10:04] nah, it must surely be more cobweb [10:05] Ok well heres how the story begins... [10:05] I couldnt get any sound after install. [10:05] so there isn't an app in synaptic or the ubuntu software center which lets me create realtime backup to a remote computer? [10:06] pksadiq: answer is to boot a livecd and try it yourself [10:06] Checked the faqs and help pages, and didnt really understand what it was telling me. [10:06] pksadiq: I don't know what you're asking about [10:06] W4RH4WK: "realtime backup" what elephant nuts is that [10:06] So I reinstalled. [10:07] W4RH4WK: if you want a backup of a file that is in a consistent state, use 'duplicity' command available in repos [10:07] Actually, throughout the day Ive reinstalled probably 6 times [10:07] hello [10:07] W4RH4WK: getting things into consistent states is not the job of userland [10:07] Is there someone who knows how to import Evolution mails+settings to KMail? [10:07] lucent, maybe i'm using the wrong word for what i want but ill have a look [10:08] Well the last time. I grabbed the latest version of ubuntu...10.10 [10:08] What is the function of the directory /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.35/debian.master/ ? [10:08] Slipknot6669: you mean last week, then? [10:08] join#jotihunt [10:09] After install it prompted me to reboot and I did, and when it came back up to the boot screen ( where you see the Esc[boot menu] F10 [system restore] etc...It froze. I couldnt press any buttons, nothing. [10:10] restarted the pc a few times and got the same thing over and over. [10:10] lucent: Have you used windows ever? haven't you seen a minimized version of mediaplayer in the task bar with all the control in a minimal mode, like the same , is that what I intend to ask [10:10] Slipknot6669: What do you see when it freezes? [10:11] pksadiq: Windows for Workgroups 3.11, so... what is a task bar? [10:11] Now if I put the boot cd back in. It boots up and will let me try or install, but I cant get anything on the reboot after install.the boot screen [10:11] I see the boot screen [10:11] ESC [boot menu] etc [10:11] pksadiq: do you mean DOS mode? [10:11] yes [10:11] lucent: I mean Windos XP or vista [10:12] oh, those look like KDE right? [10:12] windows* [10:12] Im wondering if its the pc or if my hard drive failed? [10:12] lucent, well duplicity looks like a good solution for creating backups, ill show it to my boss... what would your aproach be to keep to different servers mirrored [10:12] IDk what KDE is [10:12] Today is my first day with Linux ever [10:12] Slipknot6669: suggest trying to boot and install an earlier release, say 9.04 LTS [10:12] Slipknot6669: It sounds like the PC, but it's interesting that you get no error message and that you can still boot the LiveCD. [10:12] !kde [10:12] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [10:13] Slipknot6669: there's a number of regressions in the kernel that is included with maverick 10.10 [10:13] I see [10:13] 10.06 wasw working great [10:13] but i couldnt get any sound [10:14] lucent: if Slipknot6669 is a newbie , Why you include harder termsin your words? [10:14] me? [10:14] terms in * [10:14] Slipknot6669: I don't think it's a failed hard drive, as you would see error messages in the live environment and during the install. [10:14] oh [10:14] W4RH4WK: I would bill my boss for a pair of Wiebetech Ultradock's, a pelican 1400 case, and 6-7 harddisks and show him / her how to back up their crap [10:14] Slipknot6669: hmmm, don't know :) [10:14] I understand some stuff from the reading ive done so fsar [10:15] lucent, kk, got your point [10:15] lucent, thx for the help [10:15] W4RH4WK: there's an ideal way to do this, and then there's the way it's going to get done [10:15] Slipknot6669: I also doubt that an earlier release of Ubuntu would behave any differently as it doesn't sound like you're even getting out of the BIOS to where Ubuntu code is running. [10:15] Ill try the older version again and see what happens. [10:15] I sort of work in the industry and know about how it gets done ;) [10:15] Thanks for the input guys! [10:15] have to go, cu [10:15] Slipknot6669: One thing to try before you leave. [10:16] yes? [10:17] Slipknot6669: Boot from the LiveCD, then during the first 5 seconds press any key to get a boot menu. From that menu select "Boot from first hard disk".

[10:38] rana: can you please turn off caps, thanks [10:38] rana: Enough don't flood [10:38] is there a term that defines the way Fireworks allows manipulation of shapes and objects? Vector Graphics seems overly simplistic [10:39] can someone tell me please if all on applications (which are on "software center") are stable as stable ? [10:39] Jimu, thats all it is [10:41] Okay, this is driving me up the wall: I've been trying, for weeks, to get Ubuntu desktop to install on a new computer I built: micro-itx with a dual-core P4, 4G ram, geforce 9300, onboard sound/ethernet/wifi - everytime it boots using the usb stick I made of Ubuntu Desktop 10.04.1 from usb-creator, the screen blanks on bootup, no matter what options I change. why and how can I fix this? [10:41] Jimu, don't mistake what fireworks does as being SVG though. [10:41] Gnea, what doesnt the X server log say? [10:41] airtonix: yeah, it's quite different, as SVG is more a format [10:41] sparky74: you don't understand, I can't get anything to display, at all [10:41] Gnea: use the alternate install [10:41] it is probably a screen resolution issue related with the 9300 card [10:41] Jimu, um. [10:41] raikonen_om: try searching alpha, beta etc, you might find some results, packages like wine etc, and so might not be stable [10:41] one more problem frndz [10:42] !alternate [10:42] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [10:42] Jimu, it's also a concept. [10:42] Gnea: ati card ? [10:42] gnea, you will have to do a text mode install [10:42] erUSUL: okay. I tried ubuntu server as well, but when I went to reinstall lately, it refuses to recognize the usb drive itself as a cdrom [10:42] raikonen_om: any way to find the latest release, stable or unstable, search at launchpad.net [10:43] ikonia: uh, yeah, that's the shiny new ATI geforce 9300 :p [10:43] Jimu, to be honest I've used fireworks alot (i loved it). I now use inkscape instead. [10:43] i'll grab inkscape, check it out [10:43] rana: don't wait for someone , just ask, somebody will answer YOU [10:43] pksadiq: ok. thank you! [10:44] Gnea: game over [10:44] when my battery is full charge it shows a msg. that battery discharging 0.02 % left [10:44] and then [10:44] sparky74: that's basically what I figured I'd have to do, it's just annoying that Ubuntu claims to support all of this new hardware when, in fact, it fails so hard at it [10:44] Gnea, did you confirm the chipset on the mobo is properly supported ? [10:44] raikonen_om: Welcome, ---------------------Dreaming an Open source world--------------------------- [10:44] (north south etc) [10:45] airtonix: it's nvidia, of course it's supported [10:45] supposedly [10:45] Gnea: not really ubuntu's fault on this occasion, the ati card is casuing problems for everyone [10:45] ikonia: dude, read what I said: it's not an ATI card [10:45] rana: try to limit your question into a single line [10:45] Gnea: ooh, sorry [10:45] a msg system is going to suspend ,i cancel or ok it then it give msg failed to suspend [10:45] Gnea: missed that [10:45] Gnea, i just assumed since its a itx board that it might have one of those j micron controllers [10:45] ikonia: 'geforce 9300' everyone knows who makes that. [10:46] Gnea: didn't know if it was a new ati [10:46] airtonix: oh, no. it's a zotrax [10:46] Gnea: what point does it go blank ? === brendan_ is now known as Guest90002 [10:46] ikonia: after the kernel loads and it attempts to switch to the desktop portion of the livecd [10:46] I can't even get it to go to tty1 [10:47] someone can tell me if i copy my home directory to /root directory ? i wan tto use the programs with my user files when i use them with "sudo" ... === Guest90002 is now known as [BT]Brendan [10:47] has anyone gotten rgba support to work in maverick? [10:47] Gnea: so its the starting of X, out of interst, does the caps lock light go on/off when it's black [10:47] hi THeRE [10:47] raikonen_om: whoa, don't do that [10:47] lulz [10:47] ikonia: why ? [10:47] raikonen_om: what "programs" do you wnat ot use with sudo that's casuing you problems ? [10:47] ikonia: iwa nt to use the users files also as root. or when sign on system as root ... :( [10:48] ikonia: sec [10:48] hi [10:48] raikonen_om: ok, what files [10:48] raikonen_om: explain what you're having a problem with [10:48] when my battery is full charge it shows a msg. that battery discharging 0.02 % left then a msg appears system is going to suspend ,i cancel or ok it then it give msg failed to suspend [10:48] ikonia: yeah, it does. keyboard becomes 100% unresponsive, although I *can* alt-sysrq-b [10:48] anyone that use wireshark can say me if it's possible to sniff the router traffic? not my pc traffic [10:48] ikonia: there is no problem on applications. but sometimes when i had to use a app as root. i wan tto use them with my user files to. so it is very nice... [10:48] ? [10:48] Gnea: ok, I was curious if there was hidden panic/lockup [10:48] ;\ [10:49] ech0s7 use etherape [10:49] i wish there were more ubuntu help channels. or more specific ones... [10:49] raikonen_om: so either a.) use sudo -E or b.) point them at your "user" files, can you give me an example [10:49] eaerth: there are plenty, what do you need help with ? [10:49] ikonia: yeah, it just isn't playing right with the video [10:49] Who is synergy user ? I've some questions [10:49] Gnea: can't remember the boot flag, but can you start it with vesa ? [10:49] ikonia: when i use sudo, the app uses roots conf files. [10:49] raikonen_om: give me an example [10:50] ikonia: i think i'm having trouble with compiz possibly an emerald problem. i'm trying to get rgba support in maverick and had a minor bug but it was fixed when i purged the repository for it - although one of the other small bugs is still there. [10:50] eaerth: ok, first you know emerald is dead, yes ? [10:51] ikonia: that's a thought... uhm, forgot the flag too lol [10:51] my HDD is constantly making a noise. Is there a way to see what processes are using the HDD? [10:51] Gnea: I can never remember it, although it should auto fall back [10:51] ikonia: i hadn't known that but i can do without it - it's not really needed for rgba, i just enjoyed it in the last ubuntu release. [10:51] ikonia: for example when i want to change a file from filesystem i open "sudo nautilus".but nautilus setting always differerent. OR (this is more important) when i log on system as root i want to be the msae settings as my default user. that is the reason i ask you to copy all files to /root ... ?!

[10:52] ok [10:52] eaerth: thjat's fair enough, what's the issue with rgba [10:52] barberan, what is the issue [10:52] parsec: iptables can block on mac [10:52] I do not know English good enough to express all my minds clearly [10:52] ikonia: first i wan to ask sometihng : when i open a program with sudo, it uses /root directory to look config files or /home/useratthemmoment ? and what is the different gksudo ? [10:52] eaerth: Get rid of those gtk ppa's [10:52] barberan: what langauge do you speak [10:53] barberan, perhaps a picture then ? [10:53] Hi, I just tryed to install the newest version of ubuntu, but there isnt any posibility in the partition tool to create lvm with encrypted Partitions [10:53] ikonia, do you know a good tutorial where I might find this info? [10:53] Gnea: where do you live? US http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/ --> http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.1/ [10:53] what's the Linux equiv. of Win Taskman? [10:53] raikonen_om: gksudo perseerves your graphical environment [10:53] or taskmgr [10:53] parsec: tons on the net or "#netfilter" channel [10:53] ikonia, ok, thanks [10:53] eaerth: You're not going to gain much by having faulty ppa packages installed (hint: most all ppa repos are a bad idea) [10:53] ikonia: basically, when i added a repo to get my windows to have transparencies, my desktop went white, as if there was a white layer above my wallpaper. although everything else is working fine and also my notification pop ups are chopped off on the left and bottom edges, not hte text, just the edge. [10:53] Jimu, depends on the desktop environ you are in. [10:53] eaerth: Also, this channel only supports official packages [10:54] eaerth: why do you need to add a repo for that, desktop effects already has transparcny effects [10:54] soreau: hahaha, i already did. just troubleshooting basically, notification pop ups are still chopped off but the desktop went back to normal, wallpaper shows up again. [10:54] command line tool? [10:54] Jimu, and when you say linux you are referring to a kernel. just like when i say command.com instead of msdos [10:54] erUSUL: got it, thanks :) [10:54] wow - empathy is a pretty IRC client. :) testing it out now.. havent tried it in ages. [10:54] eaerth: You probably removed the ppa but not the packages it installed [10:54] Jimu, for CLI you can use top or htop [10:54] ikonia: sorry but i did not understand... :( please just answer me when i open a program with "sudo" which directory it uses ? [10:54] Does anybody knows where the posibility is to install on a encrypted Partition [10:54] eaerth: Check something like ' dpkg -l|grep ppa' [10:54] Who is using Synergy program? I want to know how about once pressed button and multiaction. for example, If I'd like to backspace my text which consists of 30 signs, I have to press backspace button 30-times. [10:54] raikonen_om: it depends on the applicaiton, which is why I asked for an example [10:54] erUSUL: can't tell you how much I've missed a good kernel.org download... :) [10:54] raikonen_om: give me examples of the applications your having problems with [10:55] barberan, known bug [10:55] hello [10:55] Gnea: ;) [10:55] is it possible to make ubuntu works from netboot? [10:55] airtonix, so, there is nothing to do with that? ;) [10:55] tx, yes [10:55] tx: yes. [10:55] tx: sure is [10:55] and where i can read about it? some howto? [10:55] ikonia: transparent desktop effects have have transparent nautilus windows and such then? if so i couldn't figure out how to activate it... [10:55] ikonia: it depends on application. oh i did not know that... so please tell me which directory use when i log on system as root ? [10:55] barberan, unfortunatly no, not until they fix it === geazzy is now known as Guest47376 [10:55] soreau: i'll try that [10:55] eaerth: ahhh, ok, fair point [10:55] fsiemons, i think you need the alternative cd to install on encrypted partitions [10:55] tx, i usually use google [10:55] airtonix, thank you man [10:55] soreau: haha, didn't think you were awake! [10:55] raikonen_om: you don't login to the system as root - the root account is disabled [10:56] raikonen_om: I'll ask one more time, tell me the programs you are having problems with [10:56] airtonix, me to, bunt only what i've found is abount some USB devices, not netbood ;/ [10:56] eaerth: I'm not. Just a figment of your imagination [10:56] packshaud: its not in the normal install cd? Isnt that a normal requirement? [10:56] but* [10:56] * soreau floats away [10:56] airtonix: what term should be used for the large set of Unix-based open/free environments? [10:56] tx, you need to use the keyword PXE [10:56] soreau: very sneaky. [10:56] ;) [10:56] i'm not sure... i used the alternative cd and it was there [10:56] airtonix, ok, thanks [10:56] Jimu, i think may refer that as *nix [10:56] hello [10:56] ok..i need some help. i put in a cd with some pictures on it and if i switch to another user account on this laptop, the disc is not mounted and completely inaccessible from the other account. any ideas? i'im using 10.10 [10:57] Jimu, here we just refer to ubuntu [10:57] i am trying to load ubuntu in my virtual pc console [10:57] thx, airtonix, noted [10:57] crawler: sounds like the cd is mounted in user space and still locked by the other in use user [10:57] fsiemons: You can do home directory encryption from the standard Desktop CD.

[10:58] So nobody has thought about security [10:58] am I right?

[11:14] thanks a lot [11:14] i installed opensuse as same partion as ubuntu 9.10 resides now boot manager doesnot shw the option for booting ubuntu [11:14] metatagg: Only if you were using screen (which you probably weren't). [11:14] metatagg, nope. but change your shell to /usr/bin/screen, so u can do this the next time [11:14] i guessed ´so [11:15] damn [11:15] sry 4 swearing [11:15] :) [11:15] thnx anyway [11:15] Jordan_UB: Can't seem to find it. [11:15] I thought it was called boot.iso like in Mandriva. [11:16] Umeaboy: No, it's also known as the "minimal CD" or "mini.iso". [11:16] !minimal | Umeaboy [11:16] Umeaboy: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:18] ikonia, the upgrade completed successfuly. thank you [11:18] Is there any loop that i can run in terminal to set CHMOD of every file in a directory and all subdirectories [11:19] hi, is there a way to disable key on keyboard, but not under X (with xmodmap) but also in terminal, im using xubuntu 10.04, i think it applies here too [11:19] mehranhu, chmod -R ? [11:19] metatagg: "chmod -R" but be verry carefull when using it. [11:19] carefull in the sence? [11:20] title Ubuntu 9.04 booting via symlinks [11:20] root (hd0,8) [11:20] kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda9 ro quiet splash [11:20] initrd /initrd.img .. Of course, adjust the partition [sda9 / hd(0,8)] to your situation. For full information go here http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susebootubuntu.html [11:20] SaRy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:20] -R does recursive. that may not be what you want... in all cases. [11:20] !permissions [11:20] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [11:20] Opps wrong window ! [11:20] floodbot3: hmm Thx [11:21] Hi, I am seeking for some help with installation of my modem device (probably intel according to motherboard). I have no idea how thi work in ubuntu. Could anyone give a hint? [11:21] piko: you are refering to an actual DIALUP modem? [11:21] yes [11:21] !dialup [11:21] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [11:21] Dr_Willis, not adsl, but dialup === gfrog is now known as qzhou_ [11:22] some1 is having experience with ubuntu 10.04 and HDMI? === qzhou_ is now known as gfrog === gfrog is now known as gfrog_ [11:22] just want to know if i should avoid it or can go with it without fear [11:22] Dr_Willis, thanks, I will check it === gfrog_ is now known as gfrog__ === gfrog__ is now known as gfrog [11:23] HDMI video should work. but HDMI audio over the same cable. may or may not work, depends on the chipsets. [11:23] I think 10.10 has better support in that area [11:23] Dr_Willis, this is what i read too. i was wondering if some1 allready tried it him/herself [11:23] i have ubuntu with lamp-server. now, is there any (easy) way so that when you 'adduser' a new person to the system, then he also gets a mysql user account? per default i need to specifically create the mysql user :/ would be awesome if system and mysql accounts could be 'linked' :D [11:23] anyone knows how to fix lirc in 10.10? [11:24] yeah im also having problems with lirc :( [11:24] oxicarus: make a script that calls adduser, then the commands for the rest of the stuff you wan to setup. [11:24] do you have any irw output? [11:25] lirc_serial won't start [11:25] SaRy: A better way to boot Ubuntu from another distribution's grub legacy is to use an entry with "root (hdX,Y); multiboot /boot/grub/core.img" (where ';' is replaced with a newline). [11:25] how to join ubuntu? [11:25] matematikaadit: you are in #ubuntu now [11:26] how to join ubuntu comunity? [11:26] Dr_Willis: i see, thats how i need to do it. there's no predefined setting or suchlike for it? [11:26] Jordan_U, Thanks , i'll pass it through. [11:26] !contribute > matematikaadit [11:26] matematikaadit, please see my private message [11:26] SaRy: You're welcome. [11:26] oxicarus: not that ive ever noticed. Ive done similer scripts for samba passwords. [11:27] SaRy: Sorry, replace "multiboot" with "kernel". So "title foo; root (hdX,Y); kernel /boot/grub/core.img". [11:27] Jordan_U, np at all .. Noted. [11:28] "yawn" [11:28] watching a new 10.10 system install... i enabled the 3rd party repos. and updates to begin with.. I think i just saw it install flash and java by default.. or am i seeing things.. :) [11:29] hi, someone know how to get older versione of foo2 printer drivers? [11:29] Dr_Willis, good news. [11:29] because in the webssite there's only a foo2.tar.gz file, LOL [11:29] my sound sounds really bad [11:29] they overwrite this file every new version [11:30] with ubunutu [11:30] why is that? [11:30] hi.. [11:30] nadav, what do you mean by "bad"? [11:30] nadav: bad quality? [11:30] Benkinooby, ? [11:31] yeah, bad quality, I hear a little bit of white noise in the background [11:31] nadav, maybe it's the mic enabled? [11:31] try to play with the mixer [11:31] nadav, maybe you have to go down with some of the boosters like the one for mic [11:31] nadav: do you have a cat? [11:31] I dont have any mic [11:31] lol. no :P [11:31] nadav: or any other pet? [11:31] they should do [11:32] lol [11:32] nadav, use the terminal to start 'alsamixer' or 'alsamixergui' if you prefer gui interface [11:32] hm [11:33] hmm. It appears my virtual terminal is now purple. How do I get it back to black? [11:33] well its a little better after I tuned down the alsa mixer abi [11:33] t [11:33] no--name, preferences [11:33] ty Dr_Willis :) [11:34] Well reloading the previous version seems to have worked, but I do believe my hard drive is the problem. [11:34] where can I find lucid .deb packages? [11:34] nadav, pay special attention to the booster mixers. they cause some white noise... at least at my place [11:35] I got error messages about several bad sectors upon install reboot. [11:35] erUSUL: and it's going through the packages now :) [11:35] thanks Benkinooby :-) [11:35] ok found [11:35] nadav, it worked? [11:35] yeah [11:36] Benkinooby: where are preferences? I'm talking about when you press ctrl+f, not gnome-terminal. [11:36] my HDD sounds like it is constantly busy. Is there a way to see what's accessing it? I don't think 'lsof' is the answer (as suggested), unless I'm using it wrong? [11:36] no--name, oh sorry, i missunderstood you [11:36] ok [11:36] my earphones died last night during my jogging, now Im cruising for some new ones from deal extreme [11:37] any recommendations? [11:37] nadav: wrong support channel...lol but I have creative EP-630s. They are great! [11:38] :P [11:38] aduh pakek BAHASA APA [11:38] !id | irul [11:38] irul: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [11:38] ikonia, I tried one tutorial and apparently added a rule, but I can't find it in the iptables --list output [11:39] hahahha [11:39] irul bingung [11:40] whats the new great feature on ubuntu 10.10 [11:40] ? [11:40] gimana cara makek nya niiiiiiiii [11:40] hi [11:41] irul: english? [11:41] irul : pake bahasa inggris rul kalo chat [11:41] hohohoho: there is no "one" great feature. Check the changelog [11:41] hohohoho: probably it could boot in very rare cases [11:41] i_am_deviant: hahaha [11:41] what is a good way to scan my ubuntu for virus or other malicious entity? [11:41] xebozone : so whats the different? [11:42] hohohoho: it has a new background [11:42] !id | irul, hohohoho [11:42] irul, hohohoho: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [11:42] i_am_deviant : can you explain that? [11:42] aku gk bisa pakek bhasa inggrisss [11:42] !english | irul, hohohoho [11:42] irul, hohohoho: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [11:43] no--name, hm, no clue about the backgrond color :/ [11:43] does anybody else get constant HDD activity with 10.10? [11:43] I'm getting "modprobe: fatal: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep: no such file or directory" in tty1 everytime I turn ubuntu on. [11:43] what do I need to install so I can paly youtube trailers and such on ubuntu 10.04? [11:43] Benkinooby: I restarted and it's black again so it was an error I guess, not a change by Ubuntu. [11:43] ok [11:44] what is a good way to scan my ubuntu for virus or other malicious entity? [11:44] nadav, well...there are seveeral things that can be done...one clamav and the other rkhunter [11:44] hohohoho: yes .. when you turn on computer, hardware firmware (oftenly reffered as a bios or PROM) initializes devices and then pass initiative to operating system which lives in RAM .. operating system has to boot up and MM is now able to do so in rare cases out-of-box [11:45] nadav, you want to install clamav front end as well let me find the name of that [11:45] which would you recommend? and should I be worried? is ubuntu proned to attack? [11:45] xukun: probably the g-streamer plugins and the medibuntu plugins [11:45] xebozone, ok thanks [11:45] nadav, it will now that more novice users start using ubuntu and ask how to turn off sudo [11:46] lol ^_^ [11:46] -_- [11:46] nadav, first no ubuntu is not attacked but I usually install both clamav and rkhunter just to play with :) [11:46] navap, the front end to clamav is clamtk [11:46] navap, for gnome or klamav for kde [11:47] for the one that wanted to change console colors, it's in the preferences [11:47] navap, rkhunter is terminal based utility [11:47] nadav, you also have some daemons for clam that scan files on access [11:47] ikonia, erUSUL: if you're still around, I'm having the same problem I had with ubuntu-server: http://imagebin.org/118764 [11:47] airtonix, im a fresh ubuntu user, used linux before [11:47] i mean windows [11:47] what is the windows equilivent for daemons? applications? :P [11:48] gimana ni ngrubah kebahasa indonesia [11:48] nadav: windows has daemons too [11:48] nadav, yeah well your mileage may vary i used windows for ten years without a virus scanner, never had any problems. and everyone i dealth with never reported i gave them virus [11:48] nadav: Windows Services [11:48] !id | irul [11:48] irul: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [11:48] dancooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [11:48] irul: I won't say it again. [11:48] !id | irul [11:48] aha, so a daemon is a service [11:48] asuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu [11:48] nadav: pretty much [11:48] and I know airtonix, I wasnt using antivirus either, just a firewall [11:48] !ot | irul [11:48] irul: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [11:49] nadav: you could say that [11:49] A lot of Windows network stuff are handled through IIS, which iirc is handled as a service. [11:49] navap, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computer_software%29 [11:49] This knowledge is from XP though, they might have changed it. [11:49] nadav, there are small differences. a service leans more to being something that touches the ports on your network device, a daemon simply sits in memory and does stuff [11:49] kampang kabeh koe bajingan ragelem dudoi [11:49] well said [11:50] I see [11:50] nadav, but daemons and services both watch for things [11:50] what is that: 6001/tcp open X11:1 [11:50] Gnea: sorry; never seen that error myself .... === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [11:51] whenever I see the name moose I think of moose schrute from the office [11:51] nadav, http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/241/show-which-programs-are-listening-on-tcp-and-udp-ports [11:51] ty [11:52] hello [11:52] i need some help with a tvcard [11:52] tvtime keeps associating my usb webcam as a default [11:52] i want to change that to the pci card [11:52] hello all === Mrokii__ is now known as Mrokii [11:53] navyseal, interesting. enter key is not a form of punctuation by the way. [11:54] Hi all [11:54] erUSUL: I'm seeing it on previous versions of ubuntu in the bug tracker, as far back as 6.10. I used usb-creator-gtk, so I guess I'll try unetbootin next [11:54] navyseal, you need to investigate the manual page for tvtime [11:55] TVtime doesn detect my tvtuner, but its listed in lshw [11:55] Gnea: good luck then [11:55] hmmph [11:55] terrenceTK, same as what i just told navyseal [11:55] terrenceTK: tvtime doesn't support every tv tuner [11:55] am I doing something wrong here? I started a VNC server using: vncserver -httpport 3081, but when I do nmap localhost I get that the port is open on a completly diffrent port [11:55] I know it supports this one [11:55] trying to remaster a livecd (10.10) [11:56] Used on another pc [11:56] terrenceTK: what is it?

[11:56] terrenceTK, navyseal make sure your card is listed here http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/cards.html [11:56] i'm used a tv card based on cx88 [11:56] BT878 [11:56] i just want the livecd to boot without having to click on "Try Ubuntu" [11:57] navyseal, did you read the link for cx88 on that page i listed... the rest of the research is up to you now. [11:57] yes [11:58] am I doing something wrong here? I started a VNC server using: vncserver -httpport 3081, but when I do nmap localhost I get that the port is open on a completly diffrent port [11:58] Heres the lshw output - [11:58] -multimedia:0 [11:58] description: Multimedia video controller [11:58] product: Bt878 Video Capture [11:58] vendor: Brooktree Corporation [11:58] physical id: 2 [11:58] terrenceTK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:07] i want to unmount all of my usb ntfs-hard drives in terminal what should I do? [12:07] Dr_Willis, good morning :) [12:07] Moo! :) [12:07] just did a clean install of 10.10 on my old box. testing it out now. [12:08] did they fix the nvidia drivers yet [12:09] I still had to beat them in the head Cojage [12:09] gnome-ter [12:09] how can i make a l2tpd connection on ubuntu? [12:09] i want to unmount all of my usb ntfs-hard drives in terminal what should I do?

[12:10] oh [12:10] Tigger_Yum-Yum: yep. [12:10] i dont apperanlty [12:10] Dr_Willis: does this cd /media && rm -rf *^C [12:10] works [12:10] Tigger_Yum-Yum: yep [12:11] is there any performace or security incentive to having /home on its own partition? [12:11] amin_: you dont want to do that.. that will erase stuff on teh disks.. [12:11] !danger [12:11] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [12:11] or performance or security lack? [12:11] Tigger_Yum-Yum: its easier to update/upgrade later. [12:11] hello all. I've been trying to make xps m1210 Broadcom BCM4321 to work on 10.10 with no success. Anyone can help? I have already installed ndiswrapper [12:11] Tigger_Yum-Yum: i keep my /home on uits own aprtition. OR better yet. On its own hard drive. [12:12] ive heard that willis im just wondering if there are any other benefits [12:12] hi, i've plugged in a panasonic usb printer, but for some reason ubuntu doesn't detect it when i go to "printing". What should I do? [12:12] Tigger_Yum-Yum: i think keeping your users data safer then just on 1 hd. :) is a good benifit. [12:13] Tigger_Yum-Yum: on a 2nd hd would be faster i imagine also.. but thats not if both are on the same HD. [12:13] I am trying to install the amd64 bit alternate using a flash disc, but at third step "Detect and mount cd rom" no cd can be detected because i am using flash disc! [12:13] i only have one internal hd though... im talking about partitons here not drives :P [12:13] anyone? ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.56-3_i386.deb [12:13] I've been trying to make xps m1210 Broadcom BCM4321 to work on 10.10 with no success. Anyone can help? I have already installed ndiswrapper [12:13] Tigger_Yum-Yum: and how big is this HD? [12:13] and i backup everything externally so hd failure isnt a concern for me [12:13] its a 1TB Dr_Willis [12:13] why doesn't /tmp get emptied after reboot? [12:14] i have a 1TB internal and 1TB external [12:14] greenmang0: it doesn't? [12:14] Tigger_Yum-Yum: on my one system HD i got a /boot/ of like 4gb, (yes i have a reason for that) / of about 20gb a swap, and rest is /home [12:14] Gnea: i am experiencing this problem since last 1 year [12:14] greenmang0: that's rather... wrong. what's staying behind? [12:15] why seperate boot and why such a big swap Dr_Willis? [12:15] My swap is only 1 gb. [12:15] /boot/ is 4=GB because i keep ISO files there that GRUB2 can boot. [12:15] you said 20 [12:15] / of about 20gb [12:15] having a wubi problem (with kubuntu but nobody is answering there) I think its something to do with the lvm part of the system ... the error it gives me when I go to virtual terminal (ie control+alt+f1) is /scripts/init-premount/lvm2: line39: add_mountroot_fail_hook: not found (then it fails to mount /dev/sda2, /dev /sys and /proc... then it says, Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init. No init found. Try passing init= bootarg. ) [12:15] I dident give swaps size... [12:15] oh [12:15] greenmang0: if it doesn't you may add sudo rm /tmp/* & in the file /etc/rc.local [12:16] I always put a 512mb or 1gb swap partition on most every HD on the systems :) [12:16] so home seperation is just to help upgrade... [12:16] ForgeAus: lvm is problematic. have you tried booting with init=/bin/sh ? [12:16] Hmm the 10.10 installer DID install flash it seems.. [12:16] gnea no I don't know how to [12:16] is anybody experiencing problems with blueman on maverick + DUM support? when i try to use it it says "device added but failed to connect" === root is now known as Guest11219 [12:17] Gnea: http://sprunge.us/KJGD [12:17] pksadiq: ^^ [12:17] Dr_Willis: did you ask it to? [12:17] ForgeAus: ah, you'll need to first go to the ntfs menu and select ubuntu, then edit the first selection of the grub menu and add to the kernel line: init=/bin/sh [12:17] mickster04: i checked the enable 3party repos. and install updates, at the beginning.. that seems to have included flash and some other stuff automatically [12:17] when i try to print a test page it says "the test page has been printed" but nothing comes out of the printer. i'm using the GDI driver and it's a panasonic KX-MB2000 [12:17] Dr_Willis: awesome:D [12:17] greenmang0: file lists in /tmp ? [12:18] gnea, that I think I might be able to do [12:18] Gnea: TMPTIME=0 in /etc/default/rcS === pksadiq is now known as Dr_sadiq === UltimateTerabyte is now known as Terabyte [12:18] ers [12:18] Dr_sadiq: yeah === Dr_sadiq is now known as pksadiq [12:18] hello, in statup preferences I want for example to enable Gnome Do but it is shown as disabled (cannot click on it). any ideas? 10.10 [12:18] (btw gnea busybox - or if you like recovery mode - works) === ibrahim-kasem is now known as Syria [12:19] ForgeAus: recovery mode is a bit different than a read-only shell [12:19] which window manager do you use Dr_Willis? [12:19] Tigger_Yum-Yum: ust using GNOME for now.. [12:19] Been testing out Lubuntu lately. Its gotten very nice. [12:19] where does the init line go in the grub entry? [12:19] does it matter? [12:19] oh, it's UI bug.. [12:19] kthxbye [12:19] ive not been very happy with gome or kde im thinking about trying a 64 bit xfce distro [12:20] You can install xfce over ubuntu and try it out.. [12:20] Tigger, englightenmenti s another option [12:20] greenmang0: so append rm -R /tmp/* & to the file /etc/rc.local this file will be automatically executed at startup [12:20] I want to go $ alias lsc="ls --color | cat", where can be typed after lsc, how would I do that? [12:20] I dont see what the others offer thats not in gnome , or kde really [12:20] but if you odn't like Gnome then you probably aren't going to find XFCE much more enjoyable (although it is liter) [12:20] so e.g. ls --color Downloads | cat [12:20] I've got a new printer, I plugged the printer in, and followed the (ubuntu) wizard that came up, i installed generic driver and GDI, when i try to print a test page it says "the test page has been printed" but nothing comes out of the printer. i'm using the GDI driver and it's a panasonic KX-MB2000. Any ideas? [12:20] ive heard xfce is better performance wise Dr_Willis [12:21] no--name: bash command line arguemtns I think you want to use $1 [12:21] greenmang0: but before the line exit 0 [12:21] if it wont be pretty either way it might as well be fast [12:21] Tigger_Yum-Yum: you have a rather low end system? [12:21] tigger, you want performance/liteness, use fluxbox! lol [12:21] greenmang0: o.O [12:21] i dont want barebones but i dont want something thats sluggish and still ugly [12:21] but really KDE is far more functional (gnome is too but I personally don't like gnome much) [12:21] Gnea: why doesn't TMPTIME=0 doesn't work? [12:22] Functions > looks [12:22] Dr_Willis: so $ alias lsc="ls --color $1 | cat", and then e.g. lsc ~/Downloads ? [12:22] greenmang0: don't know, try the rc.local suggestion [12:22] KDE isn't ugly, not sure how to get gnome to look pretty.. [12:22] no--name: tryit and see [12:22] ok [12:22] I dont find gnome ugly either.. [12:22] kde is not ugly but it dull your ram [12:22] but then ugly is mostly a matter of perception, I can't tell you what your concept of beauty is [12:22] I do use the clearlooks theme. :) [12:22] gnome and kde are hideous [12:23] Gnea: so what do you use? fluxbox? :) [12:23] 'vague' buzzeords :) and perceptioon [12:23] E17 is where it's at [12:23] Dr_Willis: $ lsc Downloads [12:23] cat: Downloads: Invalid argument [12:23] lucid is so MacOSX-alike (at least the default for leopard) [12:23] greenmang0: heck no :) [12:23] lookswise.. workalike, very different [12:23] i run windoze 7 clear as a bell but for whatever gnome and kde are both sluggish for me so id like to try 64b and a diff window manager [12:23] anyone can help me with STA installation? [12:23] no--name: 1) alias do not take args. 2) why do you need cat at all? 3) why you need the alias if ls in ubuntu is already an alias to ls --color=auto ??? [12:23] for whatever reason* [12:23] no--name: why are you pipeing into cat anywauy? [12:24] LXDE is another option but I'm not all that fussed about it [12:24] Because sometimes I like it to be vertical. [12:24] Hi, what can I do when a ssh attempt just stops at "Last login...." and it doesn't go any further, and I want cancel the ssh attempt? [12:24] I thought, in 2010, ubuntu 10.10 wouldnt have a problem with a simple wireless card... [12:24] Rather than getting things side by side [12:24] greenmang0, ForgeAus: keep in mind, I compile E17 by hand [12:24] ls proberly has an option to do that allready [12:24] Gnea, my thing is better than your thing. [12:24] no--name: verstical? 1 file per line? just use ls -1 [12:24] I've got a new printer, I plugged the printer in, and followed the (ubuntu) wizard that came up, i installed generic driver and GDI, when i try to print a test page it says "the test page has been printed" but nothing comes out of the printer. i'm using the GDI driver and it's a panasonic KX-MB2000. Any ideas? [12:24] no--name: that 1 as in 1 2 3 not a l like in local [12:24] erUSUL: lol, thanks [12:25] and then, mark shuttleworth is still wondering why Ubuntu is not widely used. [12:25] airtonix: but will your thing automatically fix itself when it breaks? :) [12:25] erUSUL: ahh, neat. [12:25] I never knew about that :P [12:25] so enlightenment, xfce, or lxde... [12:25] which is best [12:25] Gnea, it will if i whip it hard enough [12:25] airtonix: heh, I don't even need to do that [12:25] hehe Gnea, sad to see its not up to e19 yet lol :) [12:25] Muffie: chipset makers not providing support like they should - is the bigger side of the 'issue' [12:25] Gnea: rc.local solution is kinda workaround... i want to find out why TMPTIME=0 not working [12:25] Muffie, any clue why is that issue related to Ubuntu ! [12:25] ForgeAus: it's very linear in its development path [12:25] Dr_Willis and SaRy : Well, the driver exists [12:25] (*buntu has always seemed to be quite a way behind on the Enlightenment side of things) [12:26] which is china ubuntu [12:26] Gnea: oh... E17 [12:26] Muffie: what wifi chip ? [12:26] for one laptop i had. the STA driver had issues. I had to use the older BCM driver I think [12:26] Muffie, then use it ? [12:26] which china ubuntu irc [12:26] Dr_Willis and SaRy and erUSUL : Broadcom 4321. [12:26] !cn | sila [12:26] sila: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:26] hi, i have 2 questions. i made my own .deb file and installed it. Why i cant find it in software center as installed package. And 2nd question. How do i get that screenshot to show in software center when i am installing package? [12:26] enlightenment, xfce, or lxde Dr_Willis / ForgeAus? [12:26] ForgeAus: yes, but redhat put its foot down years ago when it came to the standardization of the linux desktop [12:26] 3q [12:26] airtonix: well, I would need to compile the driver, but I dont have the headers neither network to get them [12:27] Muffie: if it is broadcom then blame boradcom. they do not let anyone distribute the firmware for their cards [12:27] Gnea does it matter where in the grub boot entry the line init=/bin/sh goes? [12:27] ForgeAus: i saw some Ubuntu variant that had updated E packages... saw it mentioned on some site.. I think it was a pinguy variant. :) [12:27] ForgeAus: yes, it must go at the end of the 'kernel' line [12:27] (ie can it go after initrd /boot/initrd.img=2.6.23-22-generic ? [12:27] erUSUL: Dont want to blame anyone. Just wanted to use Ubuntu [12:27] ForgeAus: far right [12:27] Muffie: if they just allow it the any linux distro will come with the firmware already installed [12:27] there was an unofficial elbuntu I tihnk [12:27] anyone knows how to fix lirc [12:27] in 10.10 [12:28] erUSUL, broadcom recently opensoruced the drivers... [12:28] elbuntu didn't last, opengeu tries, and elive is the only actively developed, though that's based on debian [12:28] Muffie: so why you came here ranting about lack of support for common hardware ? go rant to a broadcom support forum [12:28] airtonix: do you know if I can get a binary driver somewhere? [12:28] airtonix: for the new chipsets; the old ones still no luck [12:28] Muffie, no you still need to compile it [12:29] Muffie: if you are connected via wire then just « sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter » [12:29] airtonix: and how can I get headers with no network. I mean, I can use a pendrive, but what should i get and from? === Ody is now known as Guest61380 [12:29] Tigger, XFCE is likely just as ugly as gnome to you, I guess, its very gnome-like to me... not sure Englightenment is going to be any better for you performance wise, I have no idea... LXDE is minimal, kinda... its probably the one I'd start with of the three, fluxbox is even further minimal yet functional enough... but the choice is really up to you) [12:29] hi [12:29] I'm not, I'm on a mac pro. But I can transfer files using a pen drive [12:30] Muffie, make a liveusb from an iso then use it where you have network connection to do this [12:30] what compiler optimizations aare used for building udeb packages? [12:30] greenmang0: I'm not seeing the problem anywhere, you might want to post it to ubuntuforums.org [12:30] Gnea: ok [12:30] airtonix: well, I have a live usb 10.10 that I used to install ubuntu [12:30] i was happy with gnomes appearance 3 or so versions ago but its gotten ugly again ForgeAus [12:31] and personally gnome seems to have too few options and kde too many [12:31] airtonix: cant I download a .DEB or something with linux headers? [12:31] Muffie, yes. [12:31] Muffie, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [12:32] airtonix: uname -r shows: 2.6.35-22-generic [12:32] how to install kaffeine codecs ? [12:32] argh no dice [12:33] Muffie: sorry in maverick is firmware-b43-installer the package name... [12:33] erUSUL: It's already on the installation iso? [12:33] hi i need help fr compiling a wlan driver 10.04 •Chipsatz: Ralink RT3070, RF-Chip: RT3070 [12:33] okay, this is messed up: if I use usb-creator-gtk to make a USB drive bootable with 10.04 alternate iso, it boots up and attempts to install, but catches an error on the base-files and base-passwd packages, claiming permission denied. If I used unetbootin to make the USB stick, I get a different looking boot menu, it boots, but then can't recognize itself as a cdrom. fail. [12:33] erUSUL: or do I need to take it from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/ [12:34] hi, i have 2 questions. i made my own .deb file and installed it. Why i cant find it in software center as installed package. And 2nd question. How do i get that screenshot to show in software center when i am installing package? http://codepad.org/1KHsIFrm control file [12:34] hello there. Is there anyone using ubuntu 10.10 and genius media tablet 8x6 ? i just want to know is it still working ok on 10.10 ... [12:34] wait what kernel line? [12:34] Muffie: problem is; it is far easier to install it while connected to internet. to avoid legal problems the package has to download the firmware file from internet during install. === fer is now known as Guest73951 [12:34] (grr lag) [12:35] airtonix: what packages should I get to simulate this command: apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic [12:35] * Gnea considers attempting to ressurect the old desktop, get the cd burner working on it, burning a cd then hooking up the drive to the new system [12:35] Hello!, i have a problem with wifi conexion. All the laptops and pcs with ubuntu fails conecting to the router. Windows pc's works ok. What can i do? [12:35] Muffie: if you do it offline you need the packages ( both of them ) and download the firmware files. transfer everything to the system and run some commands... http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#device_firmware_installation [12:35] !wifi | Guest73951 [12:35] Guest73951: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:35] Also, the Ubuntu Starter Guide contains much information about tweaking Ubuntu, besides multimedia support. Give it a few minutes -- it will certainly pay back. [12:35] muffie apt-cache search should tell you that if that command isn't sufficient [12:36] erUSUL: thankx. I'll follow that link [12:36] ForgeAus: no network! :( [12:36] Muffie, what you should do is run a virtual machine on the machine you are currently on. then boot up the live iso and perform all these steps. then install apt-on-cd to make a iso of the local deb files you downloaded with apt then move that to your real machine to use [12:37] :) Gosh! [12:37] there is of course another desktop option that you could thikn about... windowmaker! [12:37] Muffie, shouldn't matter if your apt-cache is up-to-date [12:37] Muffie, surely virtualbox will run on the machine you are currently using ? [12:37] Windowmaker is lacking in many ways these days.. and still very original in many ways [12:37] airtonix: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter === _darkditch is now known as darkditch [12:38] i think that sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter will solve [12:38] just need [12:38] to find the package [12:38] Dr_Willis as much as I agree.. its still... interesting [12:38] and usable [12:38] !enter [12:38] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:38] !botsnack [12:38] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [12:38] lol [12:39] I find the whole 'dock app' that windowmaker uses. much better then these Uber-docks that everyone is so in love with. But the rest of the gnustep stuff.. well . is odd in ways [12:40] how much hard disk space do i need for a ubuntu install [12:40] as you like. [12:40] i have an old computer here that has a 300 mhz processor, 128 mb of ram, and a 6 GB hard drive [12:40] 150GB [12:40] Muffie: No need to compile anything, the driver for your card is already shipped with Ubuntu. What you need is the *firmware* which broadcom won't allow Ubuntu to distribute, which you can get here: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz [12:40] CrackerJackz, you need 15GB minimum [12:40] CrackerJackz: that should be plenty [12:40] Dr_Willis I'd put some support into there being a StepBuntu or NeXTBuntu ... essentially all it would take is some repackaging of a standard *buntu base like Kubuntu or Ubuntu, taking out the KDE/Gnome components and adding in whichever *DM + Windowmaker + whatever elements of GNUstep are necessary/desired for a standardized distro.. [12:40] Dr_Willis: outdated ;P a copy of original NeXT gui http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXT [12:41] SCD[Eire]: no you dont [12:41] what if i don't use gnome and use fluxbox or something [12:41] 300GB [12:41] mickster04, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [12:41] Jordan_U: thanks, got it. What should I do to install? [12:41] arent there things i can do to minimalize the ammount of hd space that gets used [12:41] SCD[Eire]: CrackerJackz: i have it installed on 5 an a bit [12:41] CrackerJackz, im just breaking balls. You're fine on 6 [12:41] much like the process to convert Kubuntu into Ubuntu or vice versa... [12:41] CrackerJackz, you might want to try xubuntu though, it's a little lighter weight [12:41] Muffie: sudo tar -xf /path/to/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/ [12:42] erUSUL: I recall befor wmaker started trying to become a nextish clone. Befor there was all these gnustep* apps with their odd interfaces [12:42] CrackerJackz: perhaps install Damn Small Linux instead of one of the 'buntus? [12:42] (I'm lagged again :( ) [12:42] mickster04, I presumed he meant standard desktop edition [12:42] anyone succeeded configuring lm_sensors for hp laptops like dv9500t (auto-detect detects only coretemp for cpu) ? [12:42] Grey_Loki, i thought about that but wasnt sure how much support i'd have for the hard ware [12:42] the computer is very old [12:42] SCD[Eire]: i di [12:42] how similar is DSL to debian? [12:42] SCD[Eire]: i doo [12:43] from what i was reading when you install dsl to hd you use apt-get for package management [12:43] !ot [12:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [12:43] so what all can i do to light up my ubuntu install? [12:44] Jordan_U: ok, now just a reboot? [12:44] lighten* [12:44] CrackerJackz, try lubuntu [12:44] Muffie: Yes. [12:44] CrackerJackz: i've found that (generally) the older hardware is, the more likely you are to have good linux support with it === gaurav_ is now known as Guest55319 [12:44] Jordan_U: ok, rebooting [12:44] [12:44] hi [12:44] CrackerJackz: what extra software will you need? [12:44] Hi, I'm trying to write a super simple bash script to fullscreen vlc from my ir remote. the script runs thusly:<(line 1)#!/bin/bash (line 2)`xdotool key f`>; after i chmod +x, create a gnome keyboard shortcut that points to my script, and assign it a key, is there anything else I need to do to get keyboard shortcuts to use my script? [12:44] Grey_Loki: not with newer versions of Ubuntu, however [12:44] Grey_Loki, that makes sense actually... [12:44] where could i find info about xss [12:44] root: hey === root is now known as Guest65295 [12:45] dose someone knows [12:45] ?? [12:45] I dont even know what 'xss' is/ [12:45] Guest65295: probably in a web programming channel [12:45] Jordan_U: still nothing [12:45] Dr_Willis: cross-site-scripting [12:45] does someone there [12:45] Guest65295: /join #httpd [12:45] mickster04, well i'm fixing the computer for a friend, they said they just wanna be able to listen to music, check email, and make word documents [12:46] so i was thinking firefox, audacious, open office [12:46] CrackerJackz: then you wont need anything other tha n the defauot install [12:46] hi people i wanted to know where eclipse is installed after running apt-get install eclipse? [12:46] abiword is lighter then Openoffice.. but may not work for all their needs. [12:46] mickster04, how much hd space does ubuntu take up when you first install it [12:46] tarek: try 'which eclipse' [12:46] Muffie: Do you get any error message if you run "sudo rmmod b43; sudo modprobe b43"? [12:46] just the OS it's self [12:46] tarek: open a terminal, type: which eclipse [12:46] CrackerJackz: yeah the default install has everything he needs, i cant remember whats on the new default install [12:47] lag got me :( [12:47] CrackerJackz: this new updated install is just under 5gb. [12:47] anyway init=/bin/sh got me to busybox [12:47] Jordan_U: no errors [12:47] and i'll have to make a 256 mb swap [12:47] you think i could get by with 128? [12:47] is this the help channel [12:47] Gnea I still need help it doesn't seem to have mounted the wubi virtual disk (hardfile) properly [12:47] CrackerJackz: how much ram do you have? [12:48] nation yes [12:48] CrackerJackz: yeah [12:48] !ask | nation [12:48] nation: 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. :-) [12:48] Dr_Willis, 128 mb [12:48] Muffie: Does "iwlist scan" list any networks? [12:48] CrackerJackz: you got 128mb of RAM? thats going to be a Major bottleneck [12:48] CrackerJackz: you would want a lot of swap in that case [12:48] Gnea your help got me into busybox didn't start up normally still [12:48] how to i setup evolution for windows live mail or msn mail [12:48] or any other mail for that matter [12:48] Dr_Willis, so at minimum 256 mb swap? [12:48] CrackerJackz: i would check out Lubuntu for such a low end system [12:48] does it help to have a huge swap file even if you got a few gigs Dr_Willis? [12:49] CrackerJackz: id say a min of 512mb-1gb.. [12:49] Jordan_U: lo Interface doesn't support scanning | same for eth0 [12:49] CrackerJackz: why cant you get more? iwould be stuck tryin to find so little [12:49] Tigger_Yum-Yum: theres a point of dimininshign returns. [12:49] nation your lucky you can do that, it used to be a paid service, hehe not sure now its probably just a matter of selecting the pop3 server for it... [12:49] mickster04, it's not my computer it only has a 6 gb hd i'm just doing it as a favor for them [12:49] Tigger_Yum-Yum: above 2 gigs swap is unnexesary [12:49] yeah i did that but doesnt ask me for my pass or anyhting [12:49] Muffie: « sudo rkill list all » [12:49] CrackerJackz: whats its CPU anyway? [12:50] 1010 is sweet :p [12:50] Dr_Willis, i think 333mhz [12:50] i have 3gb of DDR2 and the default swap file that ubuntu gives me is 9gb Dr_Willis [12:50] lemme check [12:50] CrackerJackz: try lubuntu, if thats too sluggish. You may have to go try these super-minimal type disrtos liek Puppylinux, or dsl, or others. [12:50] nation sorry not sure how to help you offhand... try googling you might find more info (google for thunderbird, and just transfer what it asks you to do over to how to do same kinda stuff in evolution maybe?) [12:50] love how it manages my wireless boosted my signal by like 75% [12:50] Dr_Willis, well i was thinking as long as i use a light weight window manager should be okay [12:51] Tigger_Yum-Yum: i set mine by hand. I dont hibernate or suspend either. [12:51] yeah its not that big of a deal just thought i would try it out [12:51] quit [12:51] CrackerJackz: it also may take you a few hrs to install on such a low end box. [12:51] erUSUL: one sec. looking at bios [12:51] for example a seachterm like "accessing windows live mail from evolution" ??? [12:51] i mean.. right now it has windows xp on it [12:51] I need to customize my grub2 menu. how would I add what grub1 had in "safedefault"? or how would I always make one entry (windows) start by default even when installing new kernels? [12:51] i dont hibernate or suspend either Dr_Willis... what size swap do you think i should have with 3 gigs of DDR2? [12:51] CrackerJackz: i put it on a Pent I 100mhz once.. ages ago. :) just the install took like 2 hrs.. [12:51] Dr_Willis, i wouldnt be surprised if it took longer i don't think the cd drive reads very fast [12:51] Tigger_Yum-Yum: proberly a gb or so. depends on your HD sizes. [12:51] CrackerJackz: how much RAM? [12:51] (note windows live mail is synonymous with hotmail) [12:52] mantz, 128 mb [12:52] how do i tag myself in here [12:52] Tigger_Yum-Yum: no swap really needed [12:52] Gnea: did that, but i get an error when i want to install gnat telling me that it is not there [12:52] Muffie: Sorry, looking at http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 b4321 isn't actually supported by the b43 driver. [12:52] Dr_Willis: why does he need any? [12:52] CrackerJackz: xubuntu is the most you can use. more likely lxde [12:52] one 1TB hd, 3gb DDR, 2.6ghz Dual core CPU... swap size? [12:52] hao [12:52] Tigger_Yum-Yum: zero [12:52] Dr_Willis: why does he need any swap? [12:52] 3gb DDR2** [12:52] mickster04: you dont want to do 'no swap' at all.. thers other issues/things - [12:52] Dr_Willis: what issues? [12:52] does this work: http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/ubuntu-10-4-lucid-configuring-evolution-to-connect-to-hotmail-windows-live-mail/ ??? [12:52] mantz, what wm does xubuntu use? [12:53] mickster04: the question gets asked every so often. check the forums and the LONG threads on the topic. [12:53] urgh long reading:( [12:53] mickster04: its how the kernel works.. its best to have some swap. [12:53] CrackerJackz: xfce [12:53] Dr_Willis: why? [12:53] mickster04: i also always make swap parittion because LIVE cd;s can use it. :) [12:53] surely you only need minimum amount for thatmuch ram? [12:53] mantz, i was thinking of just using fluxbox [12:53] Dr_Willis: surely you only need minimum amount for thatmuch ram? [12:53] erUSUL: rkill? [12:54] so 1TB 7,600rpm HD... 3GB DDR2... 2.6 ghz Dual Core CPU... 2 gb SWAP Dr_Willis? [12:54] mickster04: Proberly. but how muich is minimuim? 128mb? 512? [12:54] with no hibernation [12:54] this is really frustrating. Even bluetooth is working [12:54] or e16 maybe [12:54] CrackerJackz: that's even better. but: if you don't use the ubuntu desktops, there is no real reason using ubuntu imho. use another, small distro like puppy, dsl or debian (imho) [12:54] Tigger_Yum-Yum: that should be plenty. [12:54] thanks [12:54] CrackerJackz: yeah dsl or puppy is probably btter for your scenario [12:54] seems like pop3.live.com using SSL security, and smtp.live.com as outgoing mail is what you need... ) [12:54] can i put a ruby file in /etc/init.d/ or does it have to be a shell script? [12:54] CrackerJackz: also 'tiny core linux' = 10mb :) [12:55] is skype connecting for you guys on ubuntu? [12:55] Im not sure that DSL is even being developed much any more. [12:55] CrackerJackz: dsl an puppy have desktops tho [12:55] entel: if the #! is correct you could put ruby there. but it's not recommended [12:55] DreadKnight: last i checked it was [12:55] ForgeAus: you know, my wubi went out on me the other day, and I had to chkdsk /r on the windows system to get the disk files recovered, then mv'd back into place after booting a livecd === jean-paul_ is now known as www2 [12:55] TinyCore linux - has a X desktop also. (a minimal one) [12:55] mantz: why is it not recommended? [12:55] Jordan_U: what should I try now? [12:56] mickster04, i was also kinda hoping i could stick with a distro that i know something about... when ever these people have a problem or want something install i have a feeling i'm gonna be the one doing it [12:56] entel: cause on bootup it's not a given that /usr is even mounted or available [12:56] ForgeAus: after rebooting a couple of times after that, everything just sort of magically fell into place and it's been working just fine ever since [12:56] installed* [12:56] CrackerJackz: that old a machine may ba a problem on any disrto [12:56] CrackerJackz: well you may as well get paud for it :P [12:56] CrackerJackz: giving someone who has no clue about computing fluxbox is not a good idea imho :) [12:56] mantz: thanks [12:56] mantz, i was thinking that too but man it'd be so fast [12:57] CrackerJackz: on a 333mhz machine.. i dont think 'fast' is a word that should be used with anything, :) [12:57] if there is enough hd space i was thinking maybe xfce and fluxbox [12:57] Dr_Willis, :-p [12:57] Lubuntu uses openbox CrackerJackz .. [12:57] hi everyone [12:58] Dr_Willis, ive never heard of that before [12:58] would you even be able to run flash or java on 128mb? [12:58] Lubuntu is Ubuntu + LXDE . it was supposed to be an offiical variant.. but dident make it in the 10.10 release.. perhaps in the 11.04 release [12:58] Muffie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43/STA%20-%20No%20Internet%20access But I'm still trying to confirm that the STA driver supports your card. [12:58] i just looked at some screen shots looks pretty slick [12:58] hi I need help here , anyone using 10.10 now ??? [12:59] Lubuntu is about as minimal a ubuntu as you get with all the normal 'features' people expect. [12:59] nbubuntu: many of us are. [12:59] anyone recommend using KTurtle to learn some programming? [12:59] Jordan_U: from lspci: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01) [12:59] Dr_Willis : I am facing new panel crash [12:59] nadav: why not just learn Python to begin eith? [12:59] how much RAM does firefox, flash, java use? [12:59] Tigger_Yum-Yum, yesđž [12:59] nbubuntu, yes [13:00] CrackerJackz: they can use quite a bit. [13:00] Dr_Willis : right click the panel and create a new panel at the bottom and when I restart pc it crash [13:00] more then 128mb i bet. [13:00] Muffie: Those instructions should get you working, as long as you haven't done something else like try to install ndiswrapper already. [13:00] CrackerJackz: 50% of available system RAM :P [13:00] CrackerJackz: forget java. [13:00] CrackerJackz, try DSL or Puppy linux, to see how small os can be [13:00] Dr_Willis, i was thinking the same thing they play alot of those spam apps on facebook lol... [13:00] Dr_Willis : The crash I am facing is , it just show desktop wallpaper background [13:00] nadav: that's probably LOGO, you should start with something more direct [13:00] DSL 50mb, Puppy, 100mb ., tiny core linux, 10mb. [13:00] Jordan_U: I did! [13:01] flash is buggy in linux though ive never been able to get it to work completely [13:01] Jordan_U: 1st thing I have tried was installing ndiswrapper [13:01] rename u42p u42p_fb [13:01] save [13:01] nbubuntu: ive not seen the issue here. not heard of anyone else having theissue either. [13:01] Jordan_U: can I remove it now? [13:01] Muffie: ndiswrapper should always be the last resort :) [13:01] CrackerJackz: more correct is to say 'flash is buggy' :) [13:01] !broadcom | Muffie [13:01] Muffie: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [13:01] Muffie: Yes, but how you remove it depends on how you installed it. [13:01] that is true but i think it's buggier in linux than it is in windblowz [13:01] CrackerJackz: forget it. windowmaker (on a stripped down debian, not a fairly bloated ubuntu) plus firefox without flash and the RAM was full on a 128MB machine I once used [13:01] Dr_Willis, I know absoultly nothing about programming, you think phyton would be a good pace to start? [13:01] place === LunaVorax_ is now known as LunaVorax [13:02] hi, the solution to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515891 is that mpd does only provide the stream when it is actually playing some music. could someone post that? there is no account at bugmenot, so i wont. thanks! [13:02] they spend more $$ debuggint windows.. [13:02] Jordan_U: I didnt knew that. I have double clicked on two .deb files! :) [13:02] nadav: yes. [13:02] thanks ubottu [13:02] mantz: you said it wont be garunteed /usr will be mounted, i have a program ive written in ruby that id like to run on startup, where would i put it? [13:02] CrackerJackz mise well just use epiphany and use a cell phones http header thing... get plain text versions of pages [13:02] Dr_Willis : so are you using 10.10 ? [13:02] entel: rc.local [13:02] mantz: ill look into that. thanks again [13:03] entel: /etc/rc.local [13:03] nbubuntu: yes. [13:03] really the only logical solution would be for them to buy some more RAM and a bigger hard drive but i don't even think that computer is worth upgrading unless it can be done for like 20 bucks [13:03] nbubuntu: i would say a large % of us in here are using 10.10 right now. [13:03] Muffie: If that is all you've done then just find the packages you installed in System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager and remove them. Then continue with the instructions. [13:03] Jordan_U: , ok. lemme try [13:04] Dr_Willis : I am facing this problem now , both panel on the bottom will get crash , would you help me to check ? [13:04] nbubuntu: start in text mode and login (disable gdm) and then start X11 with "startx". then provoke your crash and see what it writes in the terminal you started X from [13:04] CrackerJackz: investigate freecycle [13:04] nbubuntu: also check the forums - to see if antyone else has this issue. [13:05] hi all, I'm having problem configuring LIRC in ubuntu 10.04 for my hp pavilion dv6... I've tried everything but can't figure out what's the problem [13:05] mantz : you mean login into console ? [13:05] Jordan_U: ok, removed [13:05] maybe i'm missing something. but can't figure out. [13:05] I've got a new printer, I plugged the printer in, and followed the (ubuntu) wizard that came up, i installed generic driver and GDI, when i try to print a test page it says "the test page has been printed" but nothing comes out of the printer. i'm using the GDI driver and it's a panasonic KX-MB2000. Any ideas? [13:05] nbubuntu: yes. but do not have X or gdm running [13:05] Does Plymouth (splash screen) works with dmcrypt/luks? [13:05] Hi, i started to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 on my laptop. but in the middle of the process the laptop locked up...can i somehow resume the process...does apt-get -f install work here? [13:05] thomas001: usually it does, yes [13:05] Jordan_U: restarting now. Do I need to re-do some of the previous steps? [13:05] anyone who has worked with LIRC previously to help me? [13:05] Muffie: Now follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43/STA%20-%20No%20Internet%20access [13:06] thomas001: to be sure, do a "apt-get dist-upgrade" afterwards [13:06] mantz : how do I do that actually newly user switch to ubuntu [13:06] nepalinux: ask your real question [13:06] mantz, okay...and do-release-upgrade does not do any more magic than apt, does it? [13:06] thomas001: it all uses libapt [13:06] Dr_Willis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595678 [13:06] ok [13:07] !ask | nepalinux [13:07] nepalinux: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:07] is there anything i should know about php and mysql ? Because i made a page to connect to mysql... and although it can connect.. it cannot insert stuff. Are there some security settings I'm missing ? [13:07] i downloaded the gnome-lirc-properties but it does not seem to detect the IR receiver in my hp dv6 [13:07] thomas001: Yes, do-release-upgrade has more checks and cleanup than just using apt-get. Using apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade from one release to the next is *NOT* supported. [13:07] !upgrade | thomas001 [13:07] thomas001: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [13:07] adykid: usually not. if you have the proper credentials for the database it will work [13:08] mantz : this is what I am going to do , kill x ctrl+alt+backspace , and choose console mode at the bottom o nthe login screen and type startx ? [13:08] nbubuntu: stop gdm too /etc/init.d/gdm stop [13:08] is ubuntu 64-bit cross compatible? [13:09] mantz: acutally it may be 'sudo service gdm stop' these days. [13:09] mantz: if i run my ruby script from /etc/rc.local can i still have it behave like a service in /etc/init.d, for example being able to start and stop it [13:09] so the procedure is , at console do a stop gdm "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" then "startx" ? [13:09] nbubuntu: and when you type startx you will start X again, yes. then after the crash you can check the console if there are messages which can be helpful. usually it's crap like dbus or such [13:09] Muffie: If this is a new install, and you can't get those instructions to work, it might be worth re-installing from scratch just to have a known starting point. [13:09] mantz : it'll show at the console or I need to look for the log ? [13:09] entel: no. use the generic start-stop script template (there should be one, I think) and make it start your ruby script [13:09] hey.. what is the best way to get photoshop or any equivalent application running on ubuntu? playonlinux doesn't seem to install it properly.. [13:10] nbubuntu: at the console [13:10] Jordan_U: I'm in the middle of it. Up to now it's fine [13:10] mantz : ok let me try [13:10] mantz : brb [13:10] nbubuntu: silly me, check your X logs in /var/log too right now. there already could be something [13:10] Muffie: I'm leaving now but I can help you more tomorrow if needed (and of course others can help you in the mean time as well). [13:10] mantz : huh ? [13:10] Jordan_U: really thanks. [13:10] munim: install gimp? [13:10] Muffie: You're welcome. [13:11] mantz: i see, will it matter what directory i put my script in then? (the ruby one, not the shell script in /etc/init.d) [13:11] mantz : which one to check? [13:11] mantz: nope.. sadly, gimp doesn't support PSDs fully.. no layer effects and all.. my designer uses all this stuff [13:11] hola [13:11] I edited the lircd.conf and hardware.conf file by following different instructions in the ubuntuforums but my remote doesnot seem to work. I did the command "irw" and pressed keys in the remote but nothing is detected.. I did everything I could do so can anyone help me in this regard? [13:12] my /etc/lirc/hardware.conf http://www.pastie.org/1225477 [13:13] anyone here has any experience in getting photoshop to work using wine or playonlinux? [13:13] wine should run photoshop [13:13] cs2 [13:13] hi guys, not sure if i can get some help on this, Im doing a ubuntu server re-install using 10.10 but for some reason the usb keyboard dosent weem to be working - so im stuck on the select language screen ! [13:13] !appdb | munim [13:13] munim: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [13:13] see appdb.winehq.org about the compatibility [13:14] nepalinux: hmm.. cs2 is quite an old version.. hopefully it should be enough [13:14] my question is can i install it remotley from my laptop or something like that ? [13:14] mantz : which one to check again the log a var ? [13:15] Is possible to upgrade to 10.10 a netbook edition of ubuntu? [13:15] Guest2389: yes. theres a 10.10 netbook edition [13:15] but, i can without problems do an upgrade? or is much better do a new instalation [13:16] a mean I dont know how good is the updater for this version, i never tried before [13:17] nbubuntu, when the crash happened. [13:17] ady01, it do not looks like keyboard problem [13:17] I have to go, thanks! bye! [13:18] ady01, do you do fresh install? [13:18] thats what i thought shcherbak - they kayboard works but only when the server has booted and you get to the loginscreen [13:18] yes im trying to do a fresh install shcherbak [13:18] ady01: ive seen systems where a USB keybaod would not work at the grub screens, but a PS2 keyboard would. [13:19] thats what i fugured dr_willis - unfortunatley i no longer have a ps2 keyboard ! [13:19] Hi all [13:19] ady01: check the bios - see if thers a 'usb legacy' option [13:19] well this is enlightening. threw my old hd into the new system and it booted up. even after I told gdm not to load, it loaded it anyway. and the gui simply *works* [13:19] I have a problem [13:20] Gnea: Ubuntu is magical [13:20] i will take a look dr_willis - hold on [13:20] ady01, server? never though of insatalling remotely, moment [13:20] Dr_Willis: indeed, but now it's only seeing 2.4 gigs of ram instead of the whole 3.5 (after it subtracts 512 for video memory) and it's still only seeing 1 core, not 2 cores [13:21] Gnea: thats odd.. 64bit or 32bit? [13:21] Dr_Willis: ah, the installation is 32bit [13:21] 32bit should still see both cores however. [13:21] yes [13:21] I want to be able to host at port 80 and I want the world to be able to see it (if you know what i mean). But i cant because I am currently connected to an Ad-Hoc connection named WeMily and I only have a local ip. What can i do to fix this? How do i port fwd an Ad-Hoc connection? [13:21] I've seen this with other distros that I've booted it up with [13:22] Please help [13:22] checked everything in the bios that can be checked, and nothing seems to alleviate it [13:22] Thank you [13:22] dr_willis im afraid i dont seem to have a usb legacy - so annoying ! [13:22] * Gnea has little inclination to help someone that doesn't have a problem [13:22] This will get you directly to the installer. [13:22] ady01, http://linux2.arinet.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=135&Itemid=2 to read, in simple language you can [13:22] * Gnea then sees the problem [13:23] ady01, you need to use live session [13:23] aaron11: you can't. you'll need to get your own internet connection. [13:23] aaron11: or you could setup ipv6 and only be seen to the ipv6-world [13:23] brill thanks shcherbak [13:24] shcherbak will see if i can do that - im assuming this will do a fresh install ? [13:25] ady01, might wana try .. Just after the bios screen, keep the shift key down. A prompt will come up asking you for graphics mode (no thanks), then at the command line type "linux" and enter. [13:26] ady01, sshd, vnc is stuff to install, not totally certain about procedure of installation via ssh, but lets try [13:27] shcherbak its weird that the shift & delete keys seems to work ! [13:27] why I get near my clock a red warning sign and when i put my cursor on it it says "Universal Access Perfernces" [13:27] not getting a no graphics option though shcherbak [13:27] ady01, can u do to terinal? [13:28] ady01, cool, even our camp have it --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH [13:29] ady01, *can u do to terminal? Alt Ctrl F1 [13:29] nadav, Open gnome-keyboard-properties, select tab Accessibility and deselect "Accessibility features can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts". [13:29] shcherbak think half my problem is that this old server install has a GUI so it auto boots into grub [13:29] done [13:29] ady01, rock the bios ;) [13:30] Can anyone help me with a GUI problem? [13:30] nadav, you might have to log out and in. [13:30] aha, what was that warning sign anyway? [13:30] Maverick Live CD here, and this is the first time this has ever happened, despite using Maverick alphas and beta [13:31] scotty_^, ? [13:31] nadav, you tell me :) [13:31] shcherbak dont seem to be able to get terminal either - same issue with keyboard [13:31] I left my system for a few hours and then returned to find my window borders and title bars are gone [13:32] shcherbak i can get terminal in grub just not from bot [13:32] *boot* [13:32] ii [13:32] including the loss of the close, maximize/restore and minimize buttons [13:32] loool [13:32] heyy [13:32] scotty_^, might be something related to compiz. [13:32] switching to a different theme and back again has not helped [13:33] shcherbak got an idear [13:33] hi [13:33] ady01, are you using live cd? yes? [13:33] ı need help for kaffeine +sc-pluging cccam [13:33] scotty_^: Your window manager likely crashed for whatever reason [13:34] hmm - I'm not sure that compiz is actuall running on my old ATI R350 (Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb) - how to check? And if it is/was, how to restart it? [13:34] scotty_^ insatll fison-icon and simple-ccsm not elegant gut gives you way to restore [13:34] shcherbak i am [13:34] scotty_^: glxinfo|grep renderer [13:34] soreau, by window manager do you mean x or gnome? [13:35] scotty_^, you are gnome, right? [13:35] shcherbak - seem to have now been able to log in ith just terminal using the grub login screen - there was an option to select xterm so we now have a terminal [13:35] exit [13:36] adi01, but if you use cd there is no grub [13:36] hi [13:36] hey does anyone know what to do with .zip files that end in a number sequence like 'file.zip.001' ?

[13:41] its strange, at least to me, that the first file in the series has the green zip icon but the rest have this non descript paper icon with 1s and 0s on it [13:41] ady01, yes ssh into old system and run all commands you normally would not [13:42] scotty_^, thanks bro... only thing is that the graphics are distored cuz it zooms in i gues [13:42] shcherbak thanks i will give this a try !!! thank you [13:42] Killaklown - yeah, there is a launchpad bug for that [13:42] KillGuta, define "unnecessary kde stuff" [13:42] KillGuta: it loads the libs and services it needs. [13:42] scotty_^, ok bud.. [13:43] KillGuta: gnome apps do the same thing on kde. [13:43] Well, I saw stuff like "Kwallet" and bloatware [13:43] file.zip.001 is the one on the desktop that has the green zip icon. [13:43] fusion-icon [13:43] KillGuta: your definition of bloatware is rather broad.. if the program needs a service/libs - they get loaded.. [13:44] the rest, 002 through 007 have this paper icon with 1s and 0s [13:44] KillGuta, there's an app called "bloatware"...

Thx [14:15] tks argued [14:15] Cybastl, skype works fine for me [14:15] argued: if you don't mind using a terminal, you could write a simple bash script which does something like "dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > $package-list" and saves your sources.list (assuming PPAs are recorded), then write a script to restore them after re-install. [14:15] pksadiq: skype for linux beta 2?

But I don't know how you can save your PPAs. [14:17] cojage.. if u have restricted extras then u should have rar/unrar services as well [14:17] k [14:18] chu: thats the second step.. involving all the keys as well [14:18] argued: do you know something about posting blueprints? [14:18] cyb works for me [14:18] argued: I've written something similar if you are interested? It does all that, but saves some important files (mainly config files) [14:18] das_coach... not a thing [14:18] argued: who could i ask that for? [14:19] chu.. I ll give it a try and return if I get stucked on the way ..maybe we could compare the code and see if we could figure it out [14:19] argued: sure, sounds good.

[14:58] yes [14:58] Chaos2358: did it work? [14:59] hmm during the live system i was asked to enter a keyring password...i did not enter one, was warned that data will be unencrypted and continued...now, after installation, i am ask for a keyring password, but the empty password (or my login pw) is wrong....? [14:59] restarting browser [14:59] Hello, is there any way to hide the app launcher on ubuntu netbook? [15:00] <_DGM_> somehow all my drives messed up in /dev/ . SDD randomly became SDG and there's no SDD drive. What may have caused that? [15:00] danZenie: not at the moment I believe, if you mean the sidebar on 10.10 [15:01] yea, thats what i mean. that takes up a lot of space on a netbook [15:01] Trying to install ubuntu on a laptop. Image froze and getting lots of errors "radeon: couldn't schedule IB" [15:01] Jazz1804, now it says yahoo games cant be displayed with my current settings [15:01] _DGM_: the /dev/sdXX entries are not fixed. They can move around depending on whats plugged in on boot time. [15:02] danZenie, I disagree to a point, however this version of the netbook interface is very new [15:02] danZenie, I think it can be resized with some gconf voodoo. Not positive, but I think I read that somewhere [15:02] hi all, after successful install of ubuntu 10.04 on eeepc (using the LIVE Cd for install), suspend was working, until I upgraded , and since then , I get random file corruptions after a resume from disk [15:02] greetings, I'm encountering exactly this issue-problem, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/615869 i can't solve this by my own, i'd like your help [15:02] is that a known issue ? [15:02] <_DGM_> Dr_Willis: but nothing changed. Its a server :P and the annoying part is, now my kvm's wont boot because it cant find /dev/sdd xD [15:02] vbrummond i have an old eee 701, that sidebar takes up a lot of space believe me [15:03] it is confirmed as a bug [15:03] _DGM_: fstab entries should be using the UUID's [15:03] but i got to run. bbl. [15:03] <_DGM_> Dr_Willis: i know. But the kvm storages dont ;) [15:03] Chaos2358: you sure you install sun-java6 plugin? [15:05] christoz, the only way I can see of fixing it is reinstalling mysql [15:05] i think [15:06] christoz: you did some update and it's hanging now? that is what the bug is about; then do 'ps ax | grep mysql' and kill the process where dpkg is trying to start mysql [15:07] VCoolio, my bad, I misunderstood the bug. [15:09] i have a partition i can't read with win 7,but i can read it with ubuntu 10.10 gparted says it's a ntfs partition but fdisk says "linux" how can i format it to ntfs without losing all the data? [15:09] I've just upgraded to maverick, an have a KB problem. Each time I hit the 'd' key, all windows minimize [15:10] VCollio, this is a fresh install ubuntu, the bug is about installing mysql-server, but the installation hang out when "Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6) ... [15:10] " and ubuntu's intallation manager doesn't abort process [15:10] <_chun> Anyone know how I can update my skype status using the terminal? [15:10] it remains at this state, for 10mins now [15:10] PleegWat: that should happen with ctrl+alt+d, check the system > prefs > keyboard shortcuts section on 'show desktop' [15:11] christoz: yes, right, so do 'ps ax | grep mysql' and kill the right process, check the bug description [15:12] _chun: I don't think you can, It's in beta stage if saying about official release, else sign in to skype using lynx or links browser :) [15:12] VCoolio: Set to mod4+d here [15:12] PleegWat: mod4 is windows key, is it broken / making contact all the time? hit it a few times, then 'd' again, see if it happens again [15:13] But I'm not touching my mod4 key [15:13] the workspace switcher isn't switching when I click [15:13] It's normally generating press/release events in xev [15:15] PleegWat: and xev reports just 'd' if you try with d? I don't know; unless you set d to be a keybinding somewhere by mistake [15:16] VCoolio, it does not. Other key combinations with the windows key work the normal way [15:16] xev just returns focusout/focusin events as it minimizes/maximizes [15:17] rek_: in fdisk, use the "t" option to change the partition type, and change it to 87 [15:17] whois [15:18] rek_: erm, 7 not 87 === Guest7977 is now known as _harry [15:18] http://www.wuubie.com [15:18] VCoolio: Weird, but found it. Somehow I re-checked keyboard shortcuts and it did say just 'D'. Changed it to mod4+d again, I'll see if it sticks. [15:19] tsimpson: are u sure? [15:19] fdisk -t then ? [15:19] PleegWat: ok, cool; if it doesn't, a workaround could be to add a gconftool command to change it in gconf settings [15:19] hey -- i finally went to wally world and got a few cdrs. Installed 10.10 and virtualbox and am now installing an ubuntu 10.10 amd64 guest. Its great, my wireless card worked on the install CD [15:19] PleegWat: add to startup apps I mean [15:20] will it chang the fs without deleting all the data? [15:20] I'll dig further in that case. [15:20] rek_: fdisk /dev/whatever, then 't', then select the partition, then enter 7, and then 'w' to write the changes [15:20] change* [15:20] Might have done it myself somewhere while trying to get g15daemon working [15:20] rek_: that should only modify the partition table (not touch any data) [15:20] Got an install disk from magazine of 10.04. How can i tell if it's 64bit-capable? [15:21] rek_: it's not formatting it, just marking the partition as an NTFS type [15:21] tsimpson: infact i did some mess installing ubuntu... [15:21] tsimpson: so why does gparted say it's ntfs ? [15:21] g00se, uname -a [15:21] g00se, in live cd [15:21] tsimpson: fdisk instead says it's linux [15:21] the new virtualbox sees the usb devices as well, which it did not with gentoo version [15:22] rek_: there is a difference between what the type of the partition is, and what the type of the filesystem (on that partition) is [15:22] AbhiJit: Is it not possible to tell without firing it up? I've got the disk mounted atm [15:23] I've got the disk mounted atm >> means? [15:23] tsimpson: fdisk /dev/whatever t it will ask me... [15:23] AbhiJit: At The Moment ;) [15:23] g00se, no. are you inside live cd or not. y/n? [15:23] rek_: it'll be something like /dev/sda for the first HDD [15:23] n [15:24] g00se, why not run it and see? [15:24] tsimpson: i know [15:24] AbhiJit: Troublesome - but if i must ... [15:24] Is there any way to switch Ubuntu from using decimal prefixes to using binary prefixes again? [15:24] So I'm trying to recover my encrypted ~ from a non-booting 10.10 partition, and I can mount the partition, bind /proc and /sys to mounted partition, but after I chroot the mounted and try to do "su" into my old install's account, I just get "Segmentation fault" [15:24] err, maybe I could've worded that better :D [15:25] g00se: they sent you a magazine with an installation cd? [15:25] g00se: there should be a README.diskdefines, look in there [15:25] or vice versa [15:26] guys [15:26] about this page [15:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [15:26] g00se: or in .disk/info [15:26] step 4: Under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers, the b43 drivers can be activated for use. [15:26] tsimpson: Yes, there is and i did look in it. Hang on.. [15:26] nothing there [15:27] Muffie: I see the page, what do you mean? [15:27] step 4 [15:27] for b43 - No Internet access [15:28] problem is [15:28] tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/514489/ [15:28] did you modprobe from command line Muffler [15:28] Muffie: Do you have a wired connection? [15:28] sorry Muffie [15:28] g00se: "Release i386" means 32bit [15:28] nope, I have downloaded everything already [15:28] and did all the steps flawlessly [15:28] but [15:28] -> Under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers, the STA drivers can be activated for use. [15:28] tsimpson: Thanks. Was afraid of that ;) [15:29] this part [15:29] never shows nothing [15:29] what happens when you sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb [15:29] g00se: usually, you don't need the 64bit install anyway [15:29] Mendelevium: [15:29] then sudo modprobe b43 [15:29] lemme try [15:29] Muffie: I think you can enable the drivers with a wired connection from your menu [15:29] HElP! this problem just started but everytime i close the screen of my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop running lucid " which is set to black screen when closed" it gives me an error message when i open it telling me Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode and i loose everything i'm working on [15:29] tsimpson: Why so? [15:29] Is there any way to switch Ubuntu from using decimal prefixes to using binary prefixes again? [15:30] modprobe -r b43 ssb: module ssb is in use [15:30] what about sudo modprobe b43 [15:30] g00se: the only real reason for now is if you have more than 4GB of ram [15:30] Hello, I am installing Ubuntu 10.10 I cannot press "Forward" button after I have entered PC/account name.. so I cant finish the installation... any ideas? please [15:30] hello. === kira is now known as Guest86130 [15:30] g00se: but you can even use that in 32bit with the PAE kernel [15:30] !pae [15:30] 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 [15:30] modprobe b43 = nothing [15:30] ubuntu studio [15:30] Mako933 make sure you have filled everything out [15:30] !studio | om [15:30] om: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation.

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [15:31] g00se: any optimization would make such small a difference that you couldn't possibly notice ;) [15:31] its using lucid on a studio format [15:32] not that weird maybe you have to bring it up first [15:32] g00se: and things like flash (and 3rd party applications) tend to work better in 32bit [15:32] Mendelevium: how? [15:32] ifconfig eth0 up [15:32] how can I avoid to type this http://pastie.org/1225699 everytime I want to add a key to the ssh-agent ? also, it seems that even if added, I have to re-add it everytime.

[15:34] ok hang on [15:34] Hello, I am installing Ubuntu 10.10 I cannot press "Forward" button after I have entered PC/account name, I have filled everything....but I cant finish the installation... any ideas? please [15:34] Muffie: The same, change eth0 for wlan0 [15:34] sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [15:34] Hi, what I tried to play UQM in full window.

Part of my rationale is that i've been asked to install Suse, not Ubuntu. I was going to say - 'the Suse's not 64 bit'. If you can see where i'm going with this, the icing on the cake would be to get as small as possible a Ubuntu 64 installer. Any business card isos around? === Nwab is now known as Benwa [15:37] Mendelevium: modprobe b43 just returns nothing [15:37] sa [15:37] i am trying to open this folder but its says bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied [15:37] > [15:38] do you know the exact name of the device [15:38] hi. what would i have to do to have evolution automatically fetch my emails and notify me about new emails without the actual evolution GUI running?

[15:39] g00se: I think there may be, but you'd need to buy them from somewhere (I don't know where) [15:39] g00se: you could put the installer on a USB key though [15:40] My update notifier isn't showing in the panel. [15:40] tsimpson: It's just that i downloaded a 50M Debian installer and would like to do the same for U. The medium matters little [15:40] Muffie: have you been here http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [15:41] Hi, i've been here for 4 hours now and I'm still no closer to being able to install a panasonic kx-mb2000 printer which is supposed to work with GDI on ubuntu 9.04.

You just use the package manager to install the proper package. If its available for your distro, this is usually an easier solution. See the end of this document for further discussion.

[15:44] elfonia, then when you log in before hitting enter with paswork check "sessions" to be sure you log into the xubuntu session [15:44] how can i get email notifications about new emails without the evolution GUI running?

[15:45] hi [15:45] what software would people recommend for sharing media on an ubuntu server? [15:45] mako933, sure [15:45] BlueMatt: is it safe to assume the transparency of Ubuntu prevents backdoors? [15:45] any 1 please help me, arg i have a geforce 6150se nforce 430. i have installled 173.14.22, it asked me to restart so when i did my resolution is stuck in 640x480. i used the nvidia config thingy now i have to uas my mouse to pan left right up down to seen the full screen. any ideas [15:45] olaaaaaaaaa [15:45] nothingspecial: sudo modprobe wl changes something [15:46] mako933, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:46] Chaos2358> Thanks for help, I will try to install it from a CD [15:46] ady01: use tab to autocomplete filename to ensure you type it correctlyu [15:46] mako933, the only thing is these are only 32 bit [15:46] mako933, no sorry that is wrong [15:46] new ubuntu 10.10 with nvidia driver makes VAIO VPCF12 freeze at X launch:( [15:46] modprobe wl + iwconfig now shows eth1 [15:46] mako933, there is a 64 bit there as well [15:46] olç [15:46] hello [15:46] mako933, yep glad to be of "some"help [15:47] coz_ I will probably install the 32bit version, as a non experienced user [15:47] Muffie: i think your best bet is to grab either the 32 or 64 version of the driver package, build then make install [15:47] mako933, thats fine ..i use the minimal cd all the time [15:47] nobarking: yes, but there are no backdoors on windows as far as anyone knows, unless someone is able to install one, there are none. Also, if someone can install software on your ubuntu machine, or any machine for that matter, they can install a backdoor === kira is now known as Guest76601 [15:47] Mendelevium: worked after a modprobe wl [15:47] mako933, less chance of download corruption and if you burn this at 1x preferably little change of burn corruption as well [15:47] thanks guest1172 - typing the wrong file name ! - checked it too - oh well ! [15:48] tsimpson: Thanks for that === Guest1172 is now known as rusty149 [15:48] you're welcome :) [15:48] coz_ hmm but I see it is suggested to choose the 64bit version for amd64 CPUs? [15:48] mako933, one thing...when it gets to the part where you choose what to install...use the arrow keys to scroll and the Space bar to choose do not use enter to choose [15:48] Muffie: what happens when you try this insmod wl.ko [15:48] Mendelevium: dont know! let me try [15:48] mako933, i use 32 bit on 64 bit system here [15:48] Hi. New to Ubuntu. Using 9.04. Everything mostly works but I have one problem I haven't been able to fix. Ubuntu recognizes both of my DVD drives however it doesn't recognize when I put a DVD into them unless the DVD is already in the drive when I boot. Can anyone point me in the right direction? [15:49] Hello, i just installed ubuntu 10.10 to external hard drive, but on my hp laptop i cannot boot from it even with usb devices first on boot list. On asus no problem. Does anybody know how to force hp laptop boot from external hd? [15:49] Mendelevium: is that the right syntax? its not finding wl.ko [15:49] mako933, I suggest using the 32 bit since you will have few issues with applications etc but again this is your choice === testing is now known as Guest84833 [15:49] ciao [15:49] !list [15:49] salve [15:49] BlueMatt: an unpatched "vulnerability" can be considered a backdoor, like recent exploitation of Iran's nuclear program facilities that ran Windows. Microsoft released new updates recently because of that. [15:49] graeleight, DVD descrambling DRM is your problem. [15:49] give this a shot modprobe lib80211 [15:49] and modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip [15:50] graeleight, gonna tell you upfront though that breaking the DRM is technically illegal. [15:50] coz_ thanks, you suggest to burn it on a CD? or it is fine on a USB? [15:50] !list [15:50] Mendelevium: you said that to me? [15:50] mako933, cd is easy if you have it [15:50] graeleight, but uh if you google the problem ... [15:50] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [15:50] I just want to watch the movie [15:50] dvdshrink,dvdrip is not available under ubuntu ,i want dvd decrypter === ElNota is now known as ElNota_ [15:50] Muffie: yes === ElNota_ is now known as ElNota [15:50] sorry [15:50] fuck ubuntu [15:50] mako933, lable it and keep it if you have to reinstall [15:50] nobarking: backdoor typically refers to something placed there on purpose, of which there are none, however if you consider any exploit a backdoor, then yes there are backdoors for every os, including ubuntu [15:50] graeleight, yeah and you'd have to descramble the DVD's protection to do it. [15:50] graeleight, do some googling, it should be out there. [15:51] Mendelevium: lsmod | grep wl -> now shows wl running. Now I have wireless up and running. What should I do to make it automatically? [15:51] nobarking: however, the number of exploits and how long it takes for them to get fixed is usually better on linux than on windows, due to the number of people who look at the code every day [15:51] coz_ kk, thanks, I hope it will work well [15:51] I don't want to rip it I just want to be able to see it. It works if the DVD is already in the drive when I boot. Let me try a blank DVD real quick. [15:51] Muffie: Went for a smoke, is it working? [15:51] good morning [15:52] hi iam using ubuntu10.04 i want to update my grub can some guide me plz [15:52] nothingspecial: yep, after doing modprobe wl it's up and running. Now I'm trying to make it definitive [15:52] I would be interested in comparing the number of people who contribute to the code vs. MS' team, I would bet the number is comparable but luckily we don't have to wait for a billion teams to ok the updates. [15:52] nothingspecial: now Additional drivers shows STA driver [15:52] coz_ by the way, how does it work? it is downloading the OS components while installing it? [15:52] Muffie: You need to add wl to /etc/modules [15:52] To what extent do the latest installers cope with dual-boot? I've got 1GB empty partition, c. 150GB Win 7 and want to stick U into slack space [15:52] BlueMatt: is Ubuntu subjected to local government policies? [15:52] nothingspecial: how? with insmod? [15:53] mako933, yes... and it downloads all current updates [15:53] g00se, 1gb is a bit small for the OS. [15:53] hi iam using ubuntu10.04 i want to update my grub can some guide me plz [15:53] okay. It doesn't even recognize that there is a blank DVD-R in there. I just need it to detect the presence of the media. [15:53] mako933, so your system will be completely up to date when it is finished [15:53] replicasex: But good for /boot? [15:53] nobarking: Ubuntu Even By default does not include restricted drivers or plugins [15:53] Muffie: No. /etc/modules is the modules that the kernel loads at boot. Open it in your text editor and put wl at the bottom. [15:53] BlueMatt: do the local Ubuntu repositories reflect that? [15:54] Muffie: refer to 3: Setup to always load at boot time. [15:54] nothingspecial: just like that? 1 line? [15:54] g00se, that I'm not so sure about. I never disconnect / and /home [15:54] nobarking: technically yes, but so is all software no matter what. however, afaik there has never been any case where anything was changed because of them [15:54] I'm on dual boot with windows and ubuntu,when i try to copy to one of my windows partiton ,it says it cant copy,how do i make it write?

I missed a bit of this converation [15:54] what software would anyone here use to stream media from ubuntu server [15:54] * g00se thinks best case scenario is that 1GB partition can boot Win7 and U [15:54] [[replicasex]]: never had experience with kde only gnome [15:55] prabhu, what changes u want to do ?

Even though there is media in them. [16:34] CrackerJackz: I think many of the linux distributions still don't support ext4, [16:34] pksadiq, you're probably right [16:34] who is running Maverick? i am [16:34] cool story [16:34] afternoon all [16:35] graeleight: most of what linux is is command line crap, what happens when you manually mount the drive, do you come at it that way? [16:35] graeleight, you have wubi installed on windows ? [16:35] i'm running maverick [16:35] got some issues though [16:36] i would be happy just to get it back to normal setting it worked fine untill i activated the driver 173.14.22 [16:36] hi guys i have setup webmin for 5 users but im stuck on how i loggin on the desktop - does anyone know how this bit would work ? [16:36] Mendelevium: When I try mounting it says : No media in the drive. [16:36] Hi can anyone help me please? I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and when I restarted I'm now getting an error saying: no such device 8c35181b-d6d0-476f-a1b2-7503d2915da grub rescue: [16:37] James-Blaze, O.o [16:37] ady01: it's been a long time since i messed with webmin, great piece of software though [16:37] tieinv: wubi sounds kind of familiar, is that the app to install a dual-boot? [16:37] replicasex? [16:37] Adriannom, sudo dhclient eth0, then, sudo /etc/network/interfaces/restart [16:37] aputamkon: try to remove xorg.conf and restart the system [16:38] graeleight, wubi is an ubuntu installer that puts ubuntu inside windows [16:38] James-Blaze: it seems that grub isnt pointing to the boot partition. how many hard drives do you have [16:38] ok how do i remove it? === Guest1172 is now known as rusty149 [16:38] just 1 but i did have a usb hard drive plugged in on installation [16:38] Mendelevium i set the server bit up ok but not sure how i now login via a desktop [16:38] BluesKaj, then reboot? bear in mind it's working, it just stops working on next boot [16:38] James-Blaze, taking it out would probably be a good idea. [16:38] replicasex i have already tried that :) [16:38] James-Blaze, kay, ima be quiet now ^__^ [16:39] BluesKaj, i can get the network to work, i just have to do it manually [16:39] anyone knows what appl could i use to decode this kind of string(supposed to be russian) \u041A\u043D\u0438\u0433\u0438 [16:39] it would be nice if anybody here troubleshoots others linux using ssh remotely :) [16:39] Anyone have any luck with dual GPU nvidia/optimus cards on Ubuntu. My m11x R2 seems to work fine out of the box with the accelerated Nvidia card, but I just wish I could somehow manually switch to the low powered Intel. [16:39] Mendeleviu what i mean is that i need people to be able to login to there account via any machine eg laptop or desktop am i making sence ? [16:39] magicianlord can you please tell me how to point grub to the boot partition? [16:39] I'm dual-booting now. I can boot into windows and check if I have wubi installed. [16:39] Adriannom, yes, I think those commands will solve retention problem on reboot , iirc [16:40] pksadiq how do i remove the xorg.conf ? [16:41] BluesKaj, also, i'm guessing you meant restart via init.d right? ;) [16:41] does anyone have mozilla on ubuntu 10.10 working well with youtube.com ? [16:41] ady01: it's been so long i don't remember [16:41] oops Adriannom , yeah [16:41] i do kira_ [16:41] thanks Mendeleviu [16:42] aputamkon: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back [16:42] Can anyone help with this? I am running lucid on my Dell Inspiron E1505 with it set to blank screen when closed but everytime i close the screen it gives me an error when i reopen it telling me ubuntu is running in low graphics mode and i loose everything i'm working on. [16:42] James-Blaze: i have limited experience in this, but there should be guides on how to perform a grub rescue or edit the startup to point to the correct partition. maybe booting in iwth the live usb stick and then confirming which partition is the boot partition, then writing it down, then booting the system off the hdd while holding shift to modify the grub loadup menu would allow you to get into the system and then modify it permane [16:42] what plugins u use? ^^ [16:42] adobe flash kira_ [16:42] me too and thats problem still ;/ [16:42] Adriannom, hang on a sec , gonna ssh into my other linuxbox and copy cli reference text [16:42] kira_ what problems you having ? [16:43] its laggy and stopping making it whit window and play again and agian [16:43] with window at youtube.. its getting white ... after some sec its loading and then play a little [16:43] magicianlord thanks for your help, i have tried a few guides on the internet about restoring grub with the livecd but they haven't worked. [16:43] and again again [16:43] BluesKaj, did it, rebooted, and ifconfig still doesn't show eth0 [16:43] ok i typed it in the terminal it asked me for my pword i entered it it didnt seem to do anything. now what do i do? restart? [16:44] i have installed java and fslash but still got problem ;/ [16:44] James-Blaze: ok. what is your partition setup? i will look further [16:44] 2 secs [16:44] whats teh best repo to update files with synaptic package manager? [16:44] mike32547: Your local one [16:44] BluesKaj, so nothing's changed and this only started happening since the crash [16:44] magicianlord i just need to start the machine up again from the livecd give me a few minutes [16:44] restarting brb [16:45] dwarder: I know that in python you can print Hex to ascii using print '\x65' or some thing like that, I don't think it works for unicode [16:45] Adriannom, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [16:45] BluesKaj, yeah, i did that ;) [16:45] anyone can help? - when i firefox on youtube - flash plugins are getting busy and laggy.. how to solve it? o.o [16:45] im trying to reload the synaptic..it says the rep servers doesnt exist [16:45] rdfgnl [16:45] dfvpl [16:45] BluesKaj, didn't help unfortunately [16:45] 的反馈甲联赛家哦里的v [16:45] 很快很快华 [16:46] kira_ very strange adobe flash for linux is normally very good - how did you install flash - did you download it from there site or did you use package manager ?

[16:50] yes 2 seconds [16:50] and then look at what partiotions have what system, like /dev/sda1 etc [16:50] ok what next? there are so many files XD [16:50] choas [16:50] kira_ when it comes up look for the one that says 'flash player for mozzila' [16:50] Disk Utility? [16:50] bom dia tem BR AI? [16:51] yes disk utility [16:51] jest it is installed. [16:51] you do /msg (nick) without the ( ) [16:51] Adriannom, could you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file pls [16:51] should i delete it and install again ? [16:51] Chaos2358:u can right click on that person [16:52] that too [16:52] magicianlord did you mean disk utility? i cannot see a Disk Manager [16:52] BluesKaj, it's basically empty, i'm using networkmanager [16:52] kira_ you shouldent need to really if its there, are you using a pc or laptop ? [16:52] James-Blaze: yes, disk utility. it show partitions [16:53] BluesKaj, this is more or less a fresh install of ubuntu lucid desktop [16:53] laptop ;/ [16:53] boas [16:53] BluesKaj, nothing has been changed except some desktop preferences [16:53] BluesKaj, and some nfs stuff in /etc/fstab# [16:53] oi [16:54] magicianlord it says i have a Recovery partition and a NTFS partition but no linux partitions? Yet I have just finished the Ubuntu installation? [16:54] kira_ maybee that your laptop is stryggling to cope - is it new or old ? [16:54] James-Blaze: ok, maybe grub wasnt pointed to the right partition [16:55] BluesKaj, if i boot a live cd, there's no problem at all, if i go into single user with networking there's no problem. if i boot normally then eth0 is missing from ifconfig until i do sudo ifconfig eth0 up. this never happened before the crash [16:55] James-Blaze: what is the name of the windows partition [16:55] what software would people recommend for upnp media sharing on an ubuntu server? [16:55] magicianlord its sda2 [16:55] and recovery one is sda1 or nothing? [16:55] Adriannom, if you're running NM on an ethernet connection then this might interest you ..personally I think NM is useless on etho [16:56] oh its preety ok 1.74Mhz dual core 2GB RAM 160GB HDD (AcerAspire [16:56] Adriannom,http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [16:56] bluematt banshee is good but im not sure it streams you may need to check there website www.banshee.fr [16:56] Where i should ask? i have problem with WINE (iKernel don`t installing) [16:57] kira_ should be ok - you could try taking off adobe flash and installing gnash instead - this is a bit more light weight than adobe flash [16:57] James-Blaze: is the recovery partition sda1 or no designator? and you chose the install side by side option? [16:57] is there a single command i could enter that would accomplish 'laeg@skyrocket:/opt/vuze$ ./azureus' without navigating to the vuze dir, and without displaying text in terminal while the program is running? [16:57] hm ok i will try .. [16:57] kira_ to install it go to software center again remove flash, the search 'gnash' and install this [16:57] How can i download the stable version of wine? [16:58] magicianlord yes i chose the side by side install and the recovery partition is sda1 [16:58] ive already went through #winehq no help there, im trying to get world of warcraft to play on the lastest version of ubuntu i have win 10.2 im using a nvidia graphic card [16:58] back. wubi is not installed on my windows partition. [16:58] use ubuntu software center [16:58] it used to run the close out after trying to log in [16:58] now it wont even load! [16:58] laeg: sh /opt/vuse/azureus >/dev/null 2>&1 [16:58] is there a utility that will take a directory of pictures and generate the xml file for the desktop wallpaper slide show??? [16:58] VCoolio: ty friend. [16:58] oks [16:58] type wine in search [16:59] o.O i have installed it already [16:59] run then close out * [16:59] BluesKaj, it's not that i don't appreciate the help, but i don't know why i'd need to reconfigure my system when it's worked on the same and different pcs on this network for about 4 years, including full reinstalls with each new version of ubuntu. i'm thinking that there's something OTHER than my config at work here, since the config has not been touched. the crash is very suspicious and is either the cause or a symp [16:59] tom of what is happening...# [16:59] kira_ this might be your issue [17:00] kira_ firefox is probably using the wrong one or trying to use both [17:00] Laner1911: i already tried that but it is giving me beta release....not the stable version [17:00] omg [17:00] VCoolio: i put "sh /opt/vuse/azureus >/dev/null 2>&1" in my launcher in the applications menu and it's not working. the text previous was just 'command in terminal' 'vuze' but that launches the ubuntu synaptic version of vuze, not the lateset version i've installed [17:00] ok thnx ^^ shuld i restart? [17:00] James-Blaze: im not sure what happened with grub, but i tend to choose the advanced menu during the install to point grub to install to /dev/sda (the whole disk) and not to a partition like /dev/sda3. maybe that is what happened. it needs to be /dev/sda. can you click on sda3 and then set the flag to "boot"? [17:00] (whole linux) [17:01] VCoolio: isn't there a file i could edit that would tell ubuntu when i enter the command vuze, naviate to /opt/vuze/ and run ./azureus? [17:01] laeg: it was vuze, not vuse, sorry, also the /dev/null part isn't necessary in a menu entry [17:01] magicianlord there is no sda3 visible? [17:01] Adriannom, well maybe it's time to turn page and try internet connections from a more purist pov, unless of course you need NM for wifi [17:01] otherwise, i would reinstall and just install ubuntu to a single partition sda3, no swap file either, make that root /, and grub to /dev/sda [17:01] laeg: try in a terminal first: sh /opt/vuze/azereus [17:02] laeg: try in a terminal first: sh /opt/vuze/azureus [17:02] kira_ open firefox for me [17:02] James-Blaze: ok. did you resize the partitions during the install to shrink windows? [17:02] VCoolio: /opt/vuze/azureus: 55: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "done" [17:02] magicianlord yes [17:02] kira_ then go to 'tools' > 'add ons' [17:02] kira_ then click pluggins [17:02] James-Blaze: and it went through the install process? [17:03] i need to reboot. brb [17:03] restating problem: I'm on ver 9.04. I have two DVD-RW drives. System recognizes that I have them but when I put media into them it doesn't seem to realize I have done so with the following exception. If I boot with the media already in the drive it gets recognized and mounted. Once mounted the DVDs play perfectly. I do not have wubi installed. [17:03] laeg: that doesn't make sense if you do ./azureus in that folder; try a dot: . /opt/vuze/azureus [17:03] BluesKaj, maybe i don't have a choice, thanks for the help [17:03] kira_ now do you have both adobe flash and gnash i this list ? [17:03] laeg: a dot, then a space, then the path [17:04] VCoolio: Could not find the main class: org.gudy.azureus2.platform.unix.ScriptAfterShutdown. Program will exit. [17:04] <_CommandeR_> is there any known issues with maverick and mumble ? [17:04] VCoolio: Azureus TERMINATED. [17:04] i have just one [17:04] what software would people recommend for upnp media sharing on an ubuntu server? [17:04] gnash ^ [17:05] VCoolio: navigating to the dir and entering ./azureus works to open it, but displays info in terminal and i don't know how to enter that as a launcher for my application menu [17:05] <_CommandeR_> every time when i try to edit a channel in mumble gnome crashes and boots me to the login screen [17:05] How do I restart gweather? It stopped showing weather changes? [17:05] kira_ ok think i see your issue [17:05] ? [17:05] laeg: and it works if you do ./azureus in /opt/vuze? I don't get that, sorry [17:05] SaRy [17:05] kira_ go back to software center - uninstall gnash [17:06] VCoolio: yes, it works as in the program opens [17:06] Chaos2358, WB [17:06] Sary now i have another issue lol [17:06] kira_ then reeboot and them go back to pluggins in firefox - this should then pick up the default 'adobe flash' [17:06] Nah ! [17:07] is there a utility that will take a directory of pictures and generate the xml file for the desktop wallpaper slide show??? [17:07] laeg: last try, if it's executable, just do '/opt/vuze/azureus' that's really equivalent to ./azureus in that folder [17:07] ok i will try ^^ thnx brb [17:07] yes magicianlord [17:07] Looks like I stumped the room. Thanks for all your help replicasex. I'll take this to the forums. [17:07] hello [17:07] graeleight, sorry I couldn't be more help. [17:08] so where are we [17:08] <_CommandeR_> every time when i try to edit a channel in mumble gnome crashes and boots me to the login screen [17:08] graeleight: stumped the room? [17:08] VCoolio: okay, that works opening it in terminal [17:08] linuxguy101: (pasting) I'm on ver 9.04. I have two DVD-RW drives. System recognizes that I have them but when I put media into them it doesn't seem to realize I have done so with the following exception. If I boot with the media already in the drive it gets recognized and mounted. Once mounted the DVDs play perfectly. I do not have wubi installed. [17:08] can i give remote assistance from ubuntu to windows? [17:09] laeg: ok, put that in the menu or on the Exec= line in a .desktop file [17:09] graeleight: mount and unmount command line should do the trick [17:09] mount says: No media in drive. [17:09] ok Adriannom, I still think NM is the culprit , it's better than it was on previous releases , but it still suffers from a lot of problems. [17:09] hi, today i logged on my old computer, it has Ubuntu Feisty, and i'd like to upgrade it, but i can't (sources are down, maybe...), could someone help me upgrade my ubuntu distro to some to any other (say, intrepid)? [17:09] VCoolio: it doesn't work as a laucnher in menu, either using 'application', or 'application in terminal' '/opt/vuze/azureus', although the latter starts to load it but it crashes [17:10] anyway , gotta go [17:10] * BluesKaj is away [17:10] link_: Feisty is no longer supported, you need to install a newer version [17:10] link_: feisty and intrepid are not supported, betteer try lucid(lts) or maverick(current) === elro_ is now known as elro [17:11] VCoolio: second attempt on 'application in terminal' '/opt/vuze/azureus' is looking more promising, but it opened a terminal and i don't want that visible... [17:11] yikes i just did a comand to remove my xorg conf from some one in here when i restarted it would only let me in a text based interface now i have to run off the instalion cd. i was tyrying to fix my display settings [17:11] xangua, nothingspecial : any way to do this online, via apt-get? maybe adding new software sources or anything like that? [17:11] BluesKaj, specifying static config doens't solve issue [17:11] i can't really install from CD-ROM, i don't have it here [17:11] link_: download it from ubuntu.com [17:12] link_: what do you need to do [17:12] laeg: I don't see why it would need a terminal; put this: /opt/vuze/azureus > $HOME/azu [17:12] xangua, i can't use a CD-ROM because my driver is not working [17:12] Adriannom, but it avoids theneed for using NM [17:12] laeg: let it crash, then read /home/you/azu [17:12] aputamkon, with out the live cd can you boot to recovery mode [17:12] and my pc refuses to boot from usb correctly [17:12] pksadiq u still here? [17:12] link_: I don`t think so, you would have to upgrade one by one if there was. Easier to download and install a new version [17:12] BluesKaj, no, i'm saying that i tried using static so that it'd connect to the network on boot, but it doesn't [17:12] is anyone here super bad-ass with ext4? [17:13] aputamkon: Yes [17:13] VCoolio: it's not crashing [17:13] BluesKaj, don't know what's happening, but it's not NM [17:13] nothingspecial, i thought so... [17:13] i tried that but when i select fail safe mode i get an error no screen found [17:13] laeg: well there you go :) [17:13] it'll be more difficult than i thought, maybe i'll blast this thing [17:13] Hey, I am running Ubuntu. And my friends has windows vista. He has a desperate need for remote help. [17:13] link_: Check unetbootin or usb-creator-usb [17:13] VCoolio: still need to get it without terminal visible, about to test /opt/vuze/azureus > $HOME/azu [17:13] Adriannom, did you try the list of IPs munder portmap in /etc/hosts.allow ? [17:13] aputamkon: now which mode? working well? [17:13] link_: if you [17:14] Adriannom,munder = under [17:14] coz you still in here? [17:14] laeg: the launcher as just application (not in terminal) did crash. not? do that again [17:14] if you need to boot via usb with 10.10, you must use the pendrive boot loader as specified in the directions on ubuntu.com [17:14] that command when i rebooted i went into a text based. so i tried to reboot in fail safe recover mode and it gave an error no screen found [17:14] VCoolio: it crashed on first attempt, but now opens - still displaying the terminal [17:15] aputamkon: Now how are you working? [17:15] off the live instaltion cd [17:15] aputamkon: after you get that message you should be get a terminal based menu for xorg recover [17:15] BluesKaj, just updating system, i'll try it after that [17:15] it just give me a text based window with my name [17:16] VCoolio: works now, goodman ty :D [17:16] laeg: ok [17:16] I have a bricked external HDD, formatted in EXT4. It keeps coming up "device busy" [17:16] aputamkon: usually you can select the settings at that time, can you login to text mode? [17:16] VCoolio: initially having the launcher set as 'application' didn't do anything, so i thought i'd to use 'application in terminal' but now just 'application is working' :) [17:16] i tried to type xorg conf burt sad no file [17:16] yesd [17:17] jid?????????

[17:19] trey: hmm, did you put it in /etc/fstab? [17:19] <_CommandeR_> is it normal to have massive fgrlx errors in dmesg ? [17:19] ok brb i hope [17:19] if you have a program installed via synaptic, and a different version installed in /opt, both using the same config and settings in ~/.azureus, will 'completely removing' the synaptic version through synaptic package manager leave the config and settings in ~/.azureus untouched? [17:19] aputamkon: if you get only text mode, just login first and type sudo nvidia-xconfig , that's all and then restart [17:20] kk [17:20] does anyone know about the update regarding wow 4.0 cataclysm patch with ubuntu and wine? im trying really hard to fix this on my own [17:20] but i end up seeing interneal errors.. invalid parmaters received [17:20] whenever i try to login on wow [17:21] tried LSOF and FUSER.... try to open, I get DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending [17:21] <_CommandeR_> is it normal to have massive fglrx errors in dmesg ?

[19:02] amby: sure mate but it should be alright if you remove those files (/etc/shadow.lock and /etc/passwd.lock) [19:02] sacarlson, it definitely did [19:02] does any body hw to privilege escalation from normal user to root without knwing root passwd [19:02] nothingspecial, both ipod nano and iphone 3g [19:02] tried modifying option file for chat plugin so it doesnt link the two channels but that isnt working [19:03] nano 5g? [19:03] In programs that seem to interact with some sort of spell-checker (mostly gedit and thunderbird), seemingly normal words (like 'reply') are being underlined in red. Could I be missing some sort of dictionary - and if so, how can I get it back? [19:03] but even if it did, plugin is still freezing up pulseadio internal mic [19:03] im at wits end here [19:03] shiftingcontrol: try sudo -i [19:03] has anybody actually got gvoice to work on 10.10, or is this just my hardware incompatibility? [19:03] nothingspecial, not sure about the nano... it's an 8gb but not sure which generation [19:03] pksadiq:well tad requires sudo passwd,i m asking privilege escaltion attack [19:03] Lxndr, I dunno, but I'm interested in the answer, as it tells me internet isn't a word sometimes ;) [19:04] i m ordinary user want to become root [19:04] fr some activities [19:04] sporkboy: That's because Internet should be capatalized ;) [19:04] UTF: anything up to 5g should work. The new ones I`m not sure on [19:04] im a root user i want to be ordinary [19:04] shiftingcontrol: I think you need to break some others system, noe supported here [19:04] not* [19:04] mark: you forget the internet was create in bold-faced italics too [19:04] shiftingcontrol: use: sudo -i ,then and youwill have a root-like terminal [19:04] *created [19:04] anybody? [19:05] nothingspecial, ok i'll try to disable journaling and see what happens.. thanks a million for your help bro! very much appreciated [19:05] ok, this thing's begging for a restart for some reason. [19:05] and thank you to everyone else too [19:05] Restart, Reformat, Reinstall ;) [19:05] Works every time. [19:05] UTF: Like I say try gtkpod, it works very well with my kids 5g nano [19:05] UTF: nice to get some thanks :). You rock! [19:06] nothingspecial, roger that i just installed it :) [19:06] so has anybody actually got GV to work on their ubuntu machine? [19:06] ActionParnship:it ll prompt for sudo passwd, [19:06] but i dont sudo passwd [19:06] oraqol: what's gv? [19:06] sporkboy: That could be because most dictionaries claim that Internet can only be a word while it's capitalized [19:06] ActionParsnip, :) lub helpfull people :))) [19:06] ActionParsnip... grr... forget all that I think all this comes down to is a grub entry... but I don't know how to fix it [19:06] google voice [19:06] ActionParsnip: I think he means google voice [19:06] does anyone know what the group 'voice' does? [19:06] shiftingcontrol: yep, after that you can do as you wish [19:07] does anyone know what the group 'voice' gives you permission to do? === Guest10739 is now known as gdoteof [19:07] AbhiJit: are you there? [19:07] oraqol: I suggest you abbreviate only industry standards that everyoneknows. Gv could have meant anything [19:07] Powersource: On IRC? It means you can talk. [19:07] pksadiq, yes? [19:07] mark_szymanski: in /etc/group [19:08] AbhiJit: pvt, if free [19:08] ActionParsnip: ok [19:08] pksadiq, ok [19:08] oraqol: ok what issue are you having?

Eg: passwd andy ,you now have a password and can mount stuff [19:09] oraqol: does sound work in other apps? [19:09] ActionParnsip:grub & BIOS r protected with passwd [19:10] yes, it does, and mic does too, until i fire up the chat plugin, at which point the mic stops working for all apps [19:10] shiftingcontrol: while booting press and hold SHIFT you will get the recovery menu [19:10] shiftingcontrol: the password is the same for login as mounting stuff (assuming you are in the admin group) [19:10] sorry for all the join/quit just now... major trouble with xchat (now sorted) [19:10] oraqol: are there any sound options for googlevoice? [19:10] pksadiq:recovery option is removed,system is fedora [19:11] shiftingcontrol: But if a root password is already set(usualy not) you can do nothing [19:11] shiftincontrol, it is not wise to mess with admins [19:11] shiftingcontrol: This in ubuntu Channel [19:11] Trying to associate with 00:1e:e5:3f:67:2f (SSID='46 Big Dock Come Say Hi' freq=2437 MHz) \ Associated with 00:1e:e5:3f:67:2f \ CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys === Guest10739 is now known as gdoteof [19:11] !fedora | shiftingcontrol [19:11] shiftingcontrol: Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [19:11] ActionParnsip:i m not in admin grp [19:11] yes i tried to switch to all possible inputs, none of them work. pulseaudio freezes up if i use any of them [19:11] shiftingcontrol: use #fedora [19:11] pksadiq:ok cool down [19:11] sorry.

[19:12] shiftingcontrol: ah then that's an issue [19:12] Guest61561: The SSID should not begin with a number like that, Or contain spaces. Those can cause lots of problems...

[19:12] greezmunkey: ? the ssid is not in there [19:12] the ssid is in the wpa.conf [19:13] gdoteof: iveconnected using the interfaces file in /etc/network using WEP security [19:13] but the ssid does have spaces in it. yeah i can do WEP but wpa isn't working [19:13] nothingspecial:i m shifting things but want t shift things in unpreticble way [19:13] well, it works fine through the little applet [19:13] shiftingcontrol: If you are not the admin, you will have to ask her/him to do it [19:13] but i am trying to do it outside of gnome [19:13] gdoteof: wicd has an ncurses gui, you can use that to get connected [19:13] //join #ubuntu-es-offtopic [19:13] ups [19:14] ActionParsnip: thanks Ineed to do this sans gui [19:14] dzup2: single / ;) [19:14] gdoteof: SSID='46 Big Dock..,' isn't the SSID?

[19:19] turned ipv6 [19:19] off, same thing [19:19] was madwifi-tools renamed to something else in lucid? i'm trying to use some of the madwifi tools but i cant figure out what package to install.... any help? [19:20] is someon who uses the slitaz there? [19:20] ok, is there a way to swap pulseaudio for another sound suit in 10.10? [19:20] Xaifas: what network chip are you using? [19:20] shiftingcontrol: Not your machine? No help [19:20] sec to check [19:20] while upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 the whole computer froze. i left it for 5 hours hoping when it was done it would unfreeze but it didn't, so I rebooted with Alt+SysRq+B (nothing else worked) when it came on again it scanned the disks and then told me it could detect settings for my screen and input devices, so i have no graphics and no mouse/keyboard, I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD now, is there anything I can do? [19:20] Xaifas: I just loaded Chrome on this brand new Ubuntu load, it runs instantly... [19:20] Xaifas, You are sure your DNS is set properly and not timing out trying an ipv6 server first? [19:20] eut: there's madwifi-ng but I've only seen it in source form [19:20] Hi! I couldnt get xsane working with my epson sx210. I added its product id to /etc/sane.d/epson.conf but it didnt work. Any ideas? [19:20] shiftingcontrol: try googling [19:21] If you find a few IPs for some sites and access without DNS, are they fast? [19:21] Does nslookup return quickly? [19:21] hmm trying that now also msl [19:21] Xaifas: Reminds me, I need to load restricted-extras... [19:21] sinisterstuf: boot to livecd and chroot to the installed OS and investigate [19:22] Im want to be able to ssh into my home computer and access an onscreen terminal emulator. Any solutions besides remote desktop? [19:22] ChiefFrankus: ssh -x [19:22] Greetings ... does anyone have the keyboard backlight working under 10.4 ? [19:22] msl, same thing [19:22] why terminal emulator, why not plain old ssh? [19:22] ChiefFrankus: nothingspecial -X ,lowercase x disables x forwarding [19:23] ChiefFrankus, ssh -X remoteterminal [19:23] hello [19:23] ah, so you have to know the name of the terminal in advance? [19:23] ChiefFrankus: ActionParsnip right [19:23] ChiefFrankus: you can ssh -X and open x aplications on the remote [19:23] ChiefFrankus: if you get an x server running on the client, you can run xbased apps using x forwarding [19:23] CheifFrankus: You need to open port 22 from the firewall and you should be able to connect to it with ssh. [19:23] gotcha [19:24] ChiefFrankus: why do you need the full remote desktop? [19:24] Xaifas, Does traceroute show any major problems? [19:24] ChiefFrankus: many apps have web guis now [19:24] ChiefFrankus: It is also possible to run vnc over ssh [19:24] ActionParsnip, hmm... i'm trying to setup an access point but all of the documentation seems so old. a few old tutorials mention using wlanconfig to do some steps in the configuration but that tool seems to be part of the old madwifi-tools package. apparently the "new way" is to use "iw" (a replacement for iwconfig), but i cant get that working [19:24] ChiefFrankus: if you want to access an already running terminal, perhaps use screen? then you can detach and reattach the terminal somewhere else later [19:24] ChiefFrankus, what exacly you want to do? [19:24] Anybody here have a nvidia SLI setup? How does it work in Linux these days? Big performance improvement? Any bugs? [19:24] Sometimes on im not on a connection that runs remote desktop very smoothly [19:25] ChiefFrankus: Try byobu [19:25] eut: if you are simply drivering an interface then a compile is a compile [19:25] I couldnt get xsane working with my epson sx210. I added its product id to /etc/sane.d/epson.conf but it didnt work. Any ideas? [19:25] if i install automount dameon in my acc can i mount usb without root permission ? [19:25] ChiefFrankus, do noy try byobu, try screen [19:25] yes im learning screen as well [19:26] ok well, imma try to figure this pulseaudio/gvoice thing [19:26] ill drop a fix on here if i can find it [19:26] ChiefFrankus: you need a low latency connection to run any remote vnc or ssh -x to work well [19:26] ChiefFrankus, u can run whole GUI over ssh, but it will never be... smooth [19:26] msl, nop, everything seems fine but slow. It halts like 10secs for I dont know before accessing site then goes full speed [19:26] Oli```: i'd imagine there would be a performance increase by nature of sli [19:26] shcherbak: byobu will let you log on to an existing session without ant Ctrl - A shennanigans [19:26] Yes I know [19:26] thats why I want to use SSH [19:27] ActionParsnip: Depends if it works. I remember a time when it didn't work at all in Linux. [19:27] ChiefFrankus: what are you connecting to the remote system to achieve === JanC_ is now known as JanC [19:27] and access any emulated terminal [19:27] what's CF trying to do? [19:27] ChiefFrankus: are you working over a lan or wan? [19:27] Oli```: I believe its supported now [19:27] Hello people [19:27] nothingspecial, but it still unknown to me how to have two screen session with byobu, prefer screen with conky [19:27] ActionParsnip: can you check your grub entry for me? does it have boot=lupen there somewhere? [19:27] Does Ubuntu happen to run a service like the windows notifaction service (you can popup a message on someone else's pc) ? [19:27] ChiefFrankus: ssh is a terminal and you will be typing securely on the remote system [19:27] I have an older laptop with 512mb and all i want to do is surf the web. [19:27] Xaifas: see if you are running IPv6, if so shut it down if you don't need it. No reason to run two stacks. [19:28] shcherbak: Ctrl -A A [19:28] which DE is best suited for that [19:28] Xaifas, You ever used strace? You may be able to use it to get an idea what is happening at the time it is slow. [19:28] im accessing my file server from an open access point 40 miles away [19:28] ? [19:28] ForgeAus: I'm no good with grub issues outside of adding boot options to achieve things. Sorry [19:28] Or what it is waiting on/trying to do [19:28] Jagosix : typically Xubuntu is the lightest weight one, so you'd want that [19:28] what about lxde [19:28] ChiefFrankus: ok so why do you need a full desktop for a fileserver? [19:28] ChiefFrankus: you just want to move files? ssh might work for that too [19:28] or e17 [19:29] ChiefFrankus, on client --> xinit -- :1 vt8 --> ssh -X your@servet --> startx = whole gnome via ssh [19:29] jagosix: lxde is great. The lightest afaik is flwm :) [19:29] jagosix: I'd go with Lubuntu (LXDE), yeah. [19:29] Its just I'd prefer an X envir when im there working on it [19:29] E17 is new to me ..any1 know about it ? [19:29] with, is Lubuntu a newer one? *goes to investigate to correct slowpokeness* [19:29] it just speeds things up, as im not a console king yet [19:30] jagosix: or fluxbox which has a tonne of configurability [19:30] shcherbak: Does that require gnome on the remote machine? [19:30] jagosix: e17 is still experimental (and has been for a number of years now) [19:30] hey SARY.... will the that driver work for meerkat? [19:30] someone please help me with nvidia [19:30] ChiefFrankus: i'd install something like pcmanfm andx forward that, it'll be great [19:30] greezmunkey, yes, and good network [19:30] jagosix: But e17 is very lovely to be seen [19:30] shcherbak: thanks. [19:30] pksadiq there you are [19:31] thats what I was hoping for [19:31] Chaos2358 could you be a little more specific? [19:31] !details | Chaos2358 [19:31] Chaos2358: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:31] e17 is suited for small ram [19:31] Chaos2358: yes [19:31] just needed to know what it was called. X forwarding. Thanks [19:31] ? [19:31] pksadiq, still no luck what to do now? [19:31] jagosix: e17 isn't in the repositories (because its not stable). Your best bet (and its really a good choice) is Lubuntu [19:31] Chaos2358: Not yet complete ,start private [19:31] ChiefFrankus: I suggest you learn basic file moves etc in terminal, makes life a lot faster for remote access and less overhead on the network [19:31] jagosix: go with Lubuntu, if you have problems, fall back to Xubuntu. Either one should be sufficient for your needs [19:32] nothingspecial, tried gtkpod one song got successfully transfered and plays fine.. :) but the others still dont work.. weird eh? trying to figure something out [19:32] jagosix: i'd +1 lubuntu. It rocks [19:33] ChiefFrankus: x forwarding allows an app to run on the remote system but be displayed on a remote system (kinda like citrix). If the client is windows you will need to install and run xming [19:33] ok I'll give it a try [19:33] ChiefFrankus: you can then connect with: putty -X user@server [19:34] nice [19:34] UTF: I use gnupod, I don`t recomend it for desktop user. You may have to redo your ipod with gtkpod. Have you used your ipod on another machine? [19:34] ChiefFrankus: apps you run will appear on the windows desktop, suffix the commands with an ampersand so you can do more [19:35] nothingspecial, yes i have another laptop where i transferred songs from too... also running ubuntu [19:35] ChiefFrankus: this is possible as the display is seperate from the OS so stuff can be moved in this way. The 2 are glue together in windows so this isn't possibel [19:35] UTF: that shouldn`t matter, both 10.04 +? [19:36] ChiefFrankus: ssh also gives a secure access file transfer protocol [19:36] nothingspecial, aye the one i'm currently transfering from is 10.10 [19:36] UTF: Can`t speak, works with my kid's nano fine?????? [19:37] 01:39 *** Amarilis PART #ubuntu [19:37] ChiefFrankus: you could setup an sftp and connect using a client to move files locally as well as upload new files / download files to you client pc [19:37] oh noes! a evil robot squid! [19:37] nothingspecial, i'm gunna figure this out :) and once i do i'm gunna let you know... thanks a million for your help bro [19:38] UTF: No problem :) [19:38] I have installed 10.10 as dual boot with 10.04. Formatted an old partition to put it on - no probs with install or running but... in haste I chose '/' as mount point rather than /home... did I make a boo boo or am I ok re system security? [19:38] nothingspecial: There are problems, that's why we are here! ;) [19:38] ok. now to what i was going to ask when I came in :P I'm trying to clamp down on this server I'm running since I can't guarantee the application is perfectly secure. I made a new account to run the process on, used the GUI to uncheck every privledge but internet, and I'm fairly certain I made sure it can't sudo for root privs. Where do i go from here? [19:39] Ideally, i want this account to be able to do nothing but run that application and access a few files/folders relevant to it [19:39] Both my text boxes in firefox, and my emails in thunderbird, are giving red underlines to pretty much every single word available. How can I stop this? I imagine this is a spellchecking thing - can I turn it off? [19:39] I installed fluxbox. How can i use a "network manager" to connect wireless. Or default network manager of gnome which i had already installed. [19:41] uhm, what are the benefits of installing ubuntu 10.10 with the efi loader? [19:42] how do I change the plymouth theme in Ubuntu 10.10. I can do it in 10.04 but I'm having difficulty doing it in 10.10 [19:42] Airris: it depence what application, u can also write script to watch over account and user, configure Iptables and use corn [19:42] Lxndr: I know in Firefox, it's Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced to disable it [19:42] hi [19:42] Airris: *cron [19:42] i just upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 [19:42] cips_21: Typically gnome and KDE programs load a lot of other stuff in the background, so using them with Fluxbox would pretty much defeat the purpose [19:42] Airris: to be totaly safe you can setup you app or maybe the user with chroot that makes a subdir to your system look like root to them and that's all they will see and be able to play in. [19:43] how to enable the panel on the left? instead of on the top? thanks [19:43] cips_21: but just type the command in a termianl [19:43] oh that sounds good [19:43] hello guys, i'm on ubuntu 10.10 and my problem is, when I close my laptop's led(screen) it nomore remembers my network, I have to click my network again to connect it, so any idea for it?? [19:43] ActionParsnip, thanks. Say I'm running a terminal application and I want to ssh into that box and control it. How do I switch into that terminal from the ssh terminal? [19:44] hmm. Cron might be useful for something else i needed to do which is backup some files intermittently [19:44] toader: keel the Alt key pressed, move th panel with the mouse [19:45] Lxndr: Oh, the language settings are actually accessible from the text field you're typing in.

It's a Ralink RT3092 which apparently has problems with ubuntu but I've tried all the fixes and none of them have worked for me [22:06] Madwill: I'd recommend a decentralized tool like git or bzr, it makes collaboration easier if your friend can't always be online to connect to your server when coding, and I just personnally prefer git and bzr to svn. [22:07] The little optical light on my audio output port stays on. Headphones work fine when I plug them into it, and the light goes off when I mute sound. Anyone have any ideas? (Ubuntu 10.10) [22:07] nice Jordan-U thx i'll look into it [22:07] Madwill: Pretty much all RCSs can be used over the network (and from a public ip address). [22:07] mercurial is pretty fine too [22:07] easier to use than git [22:08] Madwill: If it's open source code you might also just want to host it on launchpad.

[22:49] WXZ: you can install it from the install CD or use a wired connection and install using software centre etc [22:49] WXZ: nm-applet [22:49] WXZ: nm-applet [22:49] I ran nm-applet [22:49] but when I click the icon [22:49] it says "Network Manager is not running" [22:49] WXZ: also make sure network-manager service is running [22:50] WXZ, that's because the daemon isn't running [22:50] how? [22:50] WXZ: sudo service network-manager start [22:50] hey [22:50] kill all [22:50] jews ha ha [22:50] !seen dajoker [22:50] I have no seen command [22:50] am I going to have to add "nm-applet" and "sudo service network-manager start" to start up applications? [22:50] aww :( [22:50] On starting up Ubuntu 10.10 I get this fatal error. Ubuntu starts up fine after the error, but I still would like some help with figuring out what it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/514657/ [22:51] I get "modprobe: fatal: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep: no such file or directory" in TTY1 everytime I start Ubunut. [22:51] brb [22:51] hey all, I was wondering if its possible to have my laptop use both screens? [22:51] I have my LCD tv plugged into the back of the laptop [22:52] so it showso n my lcd which im using now but i also wanna be able to use my laptop screen [22:52] hi [22:52] which is just blank [22:52] anyone know? [22:52] D3luSi0n4L: try the laptop Function key and another key to switch the screens [22:52] it will cycle [22:52] hmm not really sure what that is [22:52] sorry lol [22:53] I have set up cryptsetup so that a temporary filesystem is dynamically created at startup and mounted on /tmp. The device mapper works fine and the filesystem is created, but the system stops booting saying that /tmp cannot be mounted. However, as the bootup stops I can manually mount such mapped device onto /tmp. What's the problem? Maybe the boot process doesn't want to wait enough for such filesystem to be created and tries to mount it too early? [22:53] no--name: i can pastebin my file if you like? [22:53] D3luSi0n4L: the function key on your kb, see it? hold that and look for a monitor icon in the top row of another key on the laptop kb [22:53] hi there! [22:53] ActionParsnip: no thanks. [22:54] is Mossyfunk still here? [22:54] hi guys [22:54] hi [22:54] ActionParsnip: the guys at ##linux say that depmod fixes it [22:54] I'm gonna try to install ubuntu 10.10 network edition in my Samsung nc10, does anyone have it ? [22:54] hi #ubuntu I am installing 10.10 from the alternate i386 and when installing the basesystem, it complains of a couple of corrupt packages [22:55] no--name: i see, funky. i've heard of the issue but not had it [22:55] Is there a way to fetch the basesystem from the net instead ? [22:55] kmq: did you md5sum check the iso? [22:55] hi, does gnome show a poopup or something when someone logs on to your pc via ssh? [22:55] kmq: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you check the CD for defects? [22:55] :| [22:56] join #TheTVRoom [22:56] guntbert: the cd seems broken, when running the 'check cd for errors' boot option [22:56] What's up with this error I'm getting at start up? modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep http://paste.ubuntu.com/514657/ [22:56] . [22:56] no--name: can you fill antIP in please :) [22:56] antIP: in terminal, run 'sudo depmod -a' [22:56] but, as luck has it, I have two computers here, one being installed, which has the cdburner in it [22:57] antIP: depmod [22:57] kmq you can do a pseudo-netinstall using the alternate install CD. Select the option for a "command line installation", and then after it finishes, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop === bear__ is now known as henryu [22:57] thx rockets [22:57] magical: sudo depmod -a didn't work for me [22:57] kmq: then don't be surprised if it doesn't install :-)) - did you check the md5sum of the iso? [22:57] ok, how do I get nm-applet to start on startup [22:57] kmq: doesnt matter, did you check the ISO before burning? [22:57] magicianlord: sudo depmod -a didn't work for me [22:57] in start up applications I have an "nm-applet --sm-disable" entry [22:57] !startup | wxz [22:57] wxz: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [22:57] guntbert: ActionParsnip no, I didn't [22:57] I have it ActionParsnip [22:57] kmq: then how do you know the image was good? [22:57] !md5sum | kmq [22:58] kmq: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:58] but it's not starting [22:58] the image is likely broken, but for tonight, there's no way to fix it, hence my search for a workaround [22:59] kmq: if the image is bad you must redownload, checking ISO consitancy is ESSENTIAL [22:59] How can I list sound card? [22:59] An instance of nm-applet is already running. :| [22:59] can anybody help me [22:59] ? [22:59] uLinux: sudo lshw -C sound [22:59] kmq: there is no workaround for missing/damaged data ... [22:59] ActionParsnip: Ok. So I'm running sudo depmod -a now... ahh, nothing happened. Should I have expected some output? [22:59] adilalpman: no, you havent asked a question [22:59] uLinux: aplay -l [22:59] i asked [22:59] but i think [22:59] antIP: no output == good news [22:59] u didnt se [22:59] :) [22:59] nope [22:59] adilalpman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:59] tks ActionParsnip and nothingspecial [22:59] ask the question again adilalpman [22:59] adilalpman: if you repeat, i may be able to help [23:00] uLinux, aplay -l [23:00] cxo: :) [23:00] kmq, The alternate install cd is still a huge download though. You may as well just redownload the standard iso. [23:00] hey - a quick question - how can i verify or change wpa passphrase ON THE AP remotely? [23:00] antIP: the file used to be part of linux-image-blah package; not in maverick; something you copied over from previous install tries to load module.dep? [23:00] hey sorry about that, who was helping me? [23:00] i have soundblaster 5.1 VX soundcard and i remembered that it was work on ubuntu 10.04 but i know i use ubuntu 10.10 (not upgrade, fresh install) i cant use my soundcard and i only heard a noise [23:00] when the system play a sound [23:00] with my mointor situation [23:00] this is completely weird [23:00] ok I tried "depmod" and "depmod -a", restarted, same error. [23:01] D3luSi0n4L: that didnt work [23:01] WXZ: if you manually run it, is it ok? [23:01] I can't access any website from opera *or* firefox [23:01] magician [23:01] ok [23:01] it looks like CA106 same with ubuntu 10.04 but it didnt work :S [23:01] so I got the icon in my bar [23:01] An instance of nm-applet is already running. << that's the message I got this time [23:01] Can someone tell me what package the sound/audio card drivers are in? I would like to submit a bug. [23:01] i click ti and it shows two items [23:01] WXZ: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [23:01] ActionParsnip: Do you mind telling my why that is good news? I love to understand. :) Ubuntu seems to run find. [23:01] so i went to configure display [23:01] or w.e [23:01] D3luSi0n4L: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:01] "note: make sure to use the correct card/device id and replace 'pcm "hw:0,1"' with it." pcm "hw:0,1" [23:01] ?? [23:01] hi i have windows and i'm trying to get ubuntu running on my second hard drive. how do i go about this? [23:01] yes [23:01] ActionParsnip: can u read? [23:01] vCoolio: Ahh, thanks. Thanks to ActionParsnip too. [23:01] and it detected my laptop & lcd screen, so I tried to make the laptop screen default and the display on both got really messed up [23:02] could it be my laptop is pretty old? or does that matter? [23:02] antIP: in linux yuo don't get an "ok" output for EVERY command you enter, it's hugely redundant, so unless you get errors, assume it went well [23:02] ohshaith55, just install Ubuntu, it will ask you during installation if you want to do that automatically [23:02] adilalpman: of course, I am responding intelligently here as well as to antIP , as you can see above [23:02] hm? [23:02] ActionParsnip: Right, but what in the world did I just run. It would be helpful to know. [23:02] so you can't hear sounds from all aplications adilalpman? [23:02] ActionParsnip:ok i am waiting my turn... [23:03] should i try unclicking "same image in all mointors?" [23:03] but you can hear it from some? [23:03] antIP: as far as I know, it makes the file you are missing [23:03] ubuntu devs needs to break these channels into more specific fields, there is way too many people and convos going on here [23:03] ActionParsnip: Shake it off, and thanks for your help. You've always been really helpful to me! [23:03] WXZ: i only heard a noise like a rido that cant find any radio channel, in the system sounds [23:03] sanduz2: true [23:03] sanduz2: i agree :) [23:03] rido = radio [23:03] sanduz2, you havent seen anything yet [23:03] adilalpman: stupid audigy cards can be a pain to get working. I am no good with sound issues as I but low / mid range cards which just work [23:03] antIP: i like to help, one day you'll help me I'm sure :D [23:04] ActionParsnip:but it was work on ubuntu 10.04 :D [23:04] :S [23:04] what happens when you play things like youtube adilalpman? [23:04] not :D [23:04] i will try wait pls WXZ [23:04] sanduz2: any chance you could help me in a pm? [23:04] adilalpman: then log a regression bug [23:04] regression bug? [23:04] how can i log it? [23:05] when I was using maverick some weird things with sound also happened [23:05] ohshaith55, PM me with the questions you have while installing [23:05] adilalpman: make sure your levels are craned and not muted, also run: alsamixer in terminal and make sure all is cranked and unmuted there too [23:05] alright, sanduz2 [23:05] why doesnt alt+printscreen work? [23:05] nothing was muted ActionParsnip [23:05] i just checked it [23:05] preferences > sound? @ adilalpman [23:05] sometimes certain applications are muted [23:06] VCoolio: The only thing I can remember copying over from my previous 10.04 configuration was .compiz session xml files. Do you think it's safe to delete the ones I copied over? And do you think that cuased the module to fail to load during startup? [23:06] antIP: just do a clean install [23:06] and yes ActionParsnip I can ping 8.8.8.8 [23:07] antIP, sigh. I've had so much trouble with dist-upgrade, and with copying old config files, that I just do a clean install every time and reconfigure everything. [23:07] still can't load web pages though [23:07] WXZ : i see Soundblaster CA106 there and when i tested my speakers from there, i only heard a noise [23:07] how did you test the speakers from there? [23:08] is there drivers for this magician [23:08] WXZ, wait, right now you can't load any websites, but you can connect to IRC? [23:08] there is a button [23:08] and its name [23:08] exactly rockets [23:08] test speakers [23:08] it baffles me too [23:08] WXZ, that makes no sense at all. [23:08] in hardware tab [23:08] WXZ, I'm going to PM you. [23:08] hello, just wondering if someone can help with pointers as to why start date in the /proc/{pid}/stat files keeps being updated [23:09] hold on rockets, I have to add you [23:09] because I have pms turned off [23:09] i see. [23:09] I don't even have that button adilalpman [23:09] but [23:10] there is :S [23:10] i can send a screen capture [23:10] magicianlord - rockets - Sorry guys, I did do a clean install. I always do clean installs. I've never done a upgrade for the same reasons you guys don't. However, I did make the mistake (it appears) of coping over some compiz files hoping that I would keep my old settings. That's the only thing I copied from my old home directory. [23:10] 10.04 adilalpman [23:10] if u want [23:10] no [23:10] i use 10.10 [23:10] adilalpman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:10] please, would anyone help me find vulnerabilities in this site: www.inteligweb.com.br [23:10] no, I'm saying I have 10.04 [23:10] so it might not be the same for me as you [23:10] JohnPlay, no [23:10] WXZ: if you edit /etc/resolv.conf delete ALL the text and add this line: nameserver 8.8.8.8 save the new file and close all browsers, then retry the web [23:10] ok [23:10] WXZ: also make sure your browser is not in offline mode [23:11] WXZ: if you use (crappy) firefox, you may need to override it as if network manager isn't running it assumes you are offline [23:11] Hello === Mark_M is now known as Mark_M|Away [23:12] how can I make the mount command wait until a device is ready so that the bootup process isn't aborted with a "filesystem bould not be mounted" error? [23:12] does anyone know if installing the latest hdparm on lucid will allow my to do manual TRIM on a SSD? === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett [23:12] WXZ : i heard just a silly noise when i video on youtube again :S [23:12] Ubuntuzsz: if you add: mount -a in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line, it will be ran when the system is just about to show the login screen [23:13] just a radio signal like it cant find any channel... :S [23:14] Hey, can someone help me with CLI to change all files with a ":" in the name to a "--" instead. I need to have a windows partition read this and it can't. [23:14] i have a second onboard soundcard but it was disabled and i dont have any problem in findovz with my pci soundcard [23:14] Thanks ahead [23:14] ActionParsnip: I know, but I would like a more "purist" solution that allowed me to manage everything thru fstab. I really don't get it because in another slower computer, exactly the same set-up doesn't give me any problem. Why is my system not waiting more before aborting the bootup process? [23:14] writing nameserver 8.8.8.8 in /etc/whateveryouput.conf didn't work [23:14] Ubuntuzsz: not sure dude, i just go with what works [23:15] Xpistos: rename eg rename s/:/_/ [23:15] WXZ: its in /etc/resolv.conf [23:15] and I don't know how to override "it" as if network manager isn't running it [23:15] i think [23:15] yes I know ActionParsnip, I'm just saying it didn't work [23:15] ActionParsnip: in any case, that would probably not work either, since I guess the bootup process is aborted before reaching the rc.local point [23:15] nothing and If I wanit recursive just at a -R? [23:15] asking that to ubuntus malist can be better [23:15] because here is so busy and mixed... [23:16] thnx... [23:17] Xpistos: no, if you need to do it recursively use a for loop with find. I am happy and stand to be corrected :) [23:17] Does anyone have any experience with SSD on Ubuntu 10.04 [23:17] WXZ: try in firefoxes about : config make or edit toolkit.networkmanager.disable to be boolean true [23:18] nothingspecial: Thanks my friend, I am checking it out now [23:18] nothingspecial: Last hurdle of a long and arduous process [23:18] hello, is there any channel for Joomla? or can anyone help me with? [23:18] ` what aspect of 10.04 is overriding the bios such that the backlight on the keyboard is no longer functional? [23:19] what is wrong with jre 1.6 un ubuntu 10.04 [23:19] zaxonspox: looks like there's a channel: #joomla [23:20] hmasterson, thx [23:20] Is 10.10 out for netbook? When I type apt-get upgrade it wants to stay on 10.04 [23:20] p1l0t, yes it is. [23:20] p1l0t, apt-get dist-upgrade [23:21] rockets: thanks [23:21] p1l0t, I recommend a fresh install though . . . [23:21] ok, ubuntu help question [23:21] where did you guys learn all this random stuff that you know [23:21] like erUSUL, and ActionParsnip [23:21] and Jordan_YOU [23:21] rockets: I will make a bootable flash drie first [23:22] WXZ: use the OS, I'm sure you know a lot of windows stuff dont you? [23:22] * Skaperen reads the output of his random number generator [23:22] I've used windows for 7 years [23:22] probably more [23:22] WXZ: exactly, som of us here have used Linux for that liong and some longer ;) [23:22] and I don't know 30% about windows as erUSUL does about linux [23:22] WXZ, oh yeah, well I've been using windows for 7 years and 1 day so there! [23:22] WXZ: it's all experience [23:22] WXZ: so you know random stuff about windows, right? [23:23] exit [23:23] yeah Skaperen [23:23] lol [23:23] brb testing connection [23:23] WXZ: when you were drooling over XP, prsonally I was installing Mandrake Linux [23:23] WXZ: I know random stuff about Linux ... been using it since 1994 [23:23] I was 4 :| [23:23] brb though [23:23] from where can you get the python-psyco package? apt-get says it is "to old" [23:24] Skaperen, yggdrasil user? [23:24] rockets: SLS, Slackware, originally [23:24] Skaperen, ah. I used slackware for a few months. Couldn't get over the lack of package management. === grout is now known as _grout [23:24] <_grout> ls [23:25] _grout, You do not have permission to view this directory. [23:25] nothingspecial: Something is missing from the command. there is only two ":" in the test file, but it just sits there [23:25] <_grout> rockets haha [23:25] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 0 packages newly installed. cat /etc/issue 10.04.1 [23:25] rockets: I dealt with that issue just fine [23:25] Skaperen, well so did I. I downloaded packages manually and checked dependencies manually. I just didn't like having to do it. [23:25] I guess a fresh install is the only way.. [23:26] <_grout> so i have an ubuntu server that becomes unresponsive, like all the services shut down and i am unable to ssh into until i do a hard reboot, is there a log file i can look at that tells me why? [23:26] p1l0t, you're really better off . . . you end up with a ton of dummy packages and other crap otherwise. [23:26] * Skaperen still uses Slackware for servers and for a text console box [23:26] p1l0t: dist-upgrade won't give you maverick, if thats what you want [23:26] i prefer fresh installs since it forces me to keep my system orderly [23:26] ActionParsnip: I do [23:26] Skaperen, at work we use ubuntu server, but personally I use arch for stuff like that. [23:26] !upgrade | p1l0t [23:26] p1l0t: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [23:26] Hi [23:26] restarted [23:26] ActionParsnip: thanx [23:26] internet is working fine now [23:26] p1l0t: it's more involved than that [23:27] WXZ, in windows, or in linux? [23:27] WXZ: cool [23:27] rockets: if I won't need to change packages on a box, I tend to go Slackware ... if I need the flexibility of adding and upgrading packages a lot, I use Ubuntu [23:27] both [23:27] Skaperen, yeah. Well, Slackware certainly is stable. [23:27] I have a problem for X11 login after upgrade [23:27] WXZ: nm-applet running ok? [23:27] rockets: yup ... until you replace too many packages [23:27] Skaperen, yeah. it reminds me of running solaris a bit. [23:28] so, downloaded and installed ubuntu 10.10 (netbook) and I get a wubi error (error 22) at the end of copying the files [23:28] Skaperen, I was a Solaris admin at my last job. That was no fun. [23:28] rockets: BTDT [23:28] Hello. I'm using Empathy's IRC protocol. It seems like when I close any chat window (for example this one), I would have left the channel. Is there a option to close the conversation window, without leaving the channel? [23:28] console login is ok, X11 is ok (I can start my session with 'startx') but, I can't open the session from gdm [23:28] rockets: and burned the t-shirt :) [23:29] Skaperen, hah. Well, ZFS is f**king awesome. But aside from that, can't stand solaris. [23:29] hola hi [23:29] hello :) [23:29] or the session seems to start, but is immediately closed [23:29] sled, Get out of here, Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop [23:29] isnt zfs compatible with freebsd ? [23:29] How do I hide the chat menu that is shown at the top right corner, i.e the one to the left of the power icon? [23:29] hi :) i am searching for conect myself in the irc from hispano anybody can help me :S [23:29] Does anyone have any experience using a solid state drive with ubuntu? [23:29] ActionParsnip: no nm-applet isn't running (or atleast it's not visible) [23:29] on the panel [23:30] WXZ: well it's working so don't fix it :) [23:30] qkumbers, no, but they're just standard SATA drives. . . you shouldn't have a problem. [23:30] qkumbers: i'm sure many have [23:30] Does anyone know the sound/audio driver package name? I want to submit a bug for it. [23:30] I'll drop it for now [23:30] sanduz2: alsa [23:30] thank you [23:30] ActionParsnip, it could also be pulse [23:30] sanduz2: or pulseaudio [23:30] rockets: I need to do TRIM on lucid and the kernel is too old, but i don't want to use the dev kernels [23:31] ah i think its pulseaudio, thanks [23:31] qkumbers, you can't upgrade? [23:31] is there a way to update your kernel and still have the ubuntu changes incorporated? [23:31] actually i see both of them mentioned, how can i check, ActionParsnip ? [23:31] the kernel ppa seems to break things like graphics [23:31] qkumbers: can ou define "ubuntu changes" ? [23:31] qkumbers, of course, graphics drivers are compiled against specific kernel/header versions [23:31] hello all! [23:31] sanduz2: pick one, it will be moved by the ops if its innaccurate [23:31] Recently installed ubuntu 10.4. Have a USB wireless dongle. The network is found but when I connect it just keeps prompting for the key again. Do I really have to follow these instructions: http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=4817 [23:32] k thanks [23:32] qkumbers, What is preventing you from upgrading to a newer release than Lucid. [23:32] Is there a way to close Empathy's chat window, without leaving the channel I'm currently on? [23:32] qkumbers: you'd have to apply the patches yourself, and hope they apply cleanly [23:32] cookj02: run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the wireless chip and you can find guides based on that [23:32] Dulak: how? [23:32] I understand the the kernel's from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ are vanilla [23:32] rockets: xbmc does not have packages for maverick [23:33] qkumbers: download the patches, use the patch util to apply them to the kernel source, 1 at a time. [23:33] Dulak: where can I get the patches? [23:33] qkumbers, you may want to check out "kernel noobs" [23:33] qkumbers, its a group of people that can help you with custom compiling kernels and whatnot [23:34] rockets: where can i find them? [23:34] Hi. Does anyone have a Pentium II Deschutes processor that could post a pastebin of the output of "gcc -Q -c -v -march=native --help=target" for me? [23:34] qkumbers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [23:34] rockets: nevermind i think i found them [23:35] qkumbers, http://tinyurl.com/3ymbeou [23:35] Dulak: thanks [23:35] hey all. does anyone know for certain whether SWAP is also encrypted when choosing the "encrypt home" option at install ? [23:36] cxexa: it's not [23:36] cxexa, why would swap be encrypted . . . [23:36] rockets: thanks, like i said, i found them, but it was nice to see how google works [23:36] cxexa, Swap is its own partition. Your home directory is not on the swap partition. [23:36] ActionParsnip I had run lsusb and seached for rt2870 guides. But there are several. I tried adding some things to the blacklist file as well but so far no luck. With that other command what am I looking for, it just shows information about my wireless interface [23:36] qkumbers, I can't ever pass up an opportunity to be a dick. [23:36] I read that it was, but have only seen that once, so just curious. I wouldn't think it would be. [23:36] what is the proper way to flush such things as my cache in the home folder [23:36] hello can i get some help with joomla? there is silence on joomla channel [23:37] zaxonspox, BEGONE PHP DEVIL === Lenin_Cat is now known as Chris_Hanson [23:37] zaxonspox, THE POWER OF SHUTTLEWORTH COMPELLS YOU === Chris_Hanson is now known as Chris_Hansen === Chris_Hansen is now known as Chris_Hanson [23:38] er Cache,thumbnails, livestmp. local etc.... 4.8 gig in various cache and trash files I use bleachbit but of course is does now do anything [23:38] rockets, Users installing from Ubuntu 9.10 and selecting the Encrypted Home option will automatically have encrypted swap space [23:38] from Ubuntu Community page [23:38] cxexa, wow. I'm shocked. [23:38] rockets, eee i dont understand such hardcore english, siple pls: you will help me, or should i get lost? [23:38] I am in disbelief myself, but am curious as heck === pizzabox is now known as jauntypaperclip [23:38] cxexa, it really doesn't make any sense. I mean I suppose you could have sensitive data in swap . . . but still. === Chris_Hanson is now known as Lenin_Cat [23:39] damnit java is installed but i keep getting Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java5-jre|sun-java6-jre [23:39] why Catfish doesnt locate ? [23:39] Is there a way to close any channel chat window in Empathy, without actually leaving the channel? [23:40] rockets, so will you help me? can PM you? [23:40] am i right in assuming i CANNOT build x64 packages on an i686 machine? in anyway? [23:40] zaxonspox, I don't know anything about Joomla. Sorry. [23:40] Hey guys. I cant get gparted to function. It crashes upon launch. I see lots of people having the same troubles when i google it, but i see no obvious fix. How can i fix it? [23:41] <__cool__> rockets: if you open sensitive files in i.w. openoffice, they may end up in swap. so it's completely needed to encrypt swap... [23:42] is it possible to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 from the commandline? [23:42] __cool__, I guess. . . [23:42] sinisterstuf, yes [23:43] twinkie_addict: can you tell me how?

[23:44] crunchbangboom: no [23:44] you need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [23:45] it will check for available release === mIRC- is now known as Scans [23:45] and upgrade [23:45] at the botton of fill set to normal the run do-release-upgrade [23:45] why catfish doesnt locate ?

[23:47] billybigrigger, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_compiler [23:47] Okay I have the right command to change all of the files in the directory I am in but rename does not have a recursive function, can someone help me write to hit all the sub folders in the directory? I can write bash scripts [23:47] billybigrigger, also see http://dpkg-cross.alioth.debian.org/ [23:48] rockets: thanks [23:48] billybigrigger, no problemo, el-flemo. [23:48] is there a pack of some sort to install to get windows default fonts (all of em) ? [23:48] Kangarooo: new files don't show up in locate right away until the next run of updatedb, which is once a day iirc. You can force it by running 'sudo updatedb' at the terminal. It takes a while to run. [23:48] Asko, yep, msttcorefonts or something [23:48] yes i know that [23:48] i was thinking maybe there is a pack [23:48] Hi folks, I just got 10.10 netbook ed running on my asus netbook, but wireless doesn't come up. Ethernet cable gets net connection just fine. Is there somewhere I can 'toggle' wireless, maybe it's set to 'off' ? [23:49] cause if you install msttcorefonts, you still dont have the fonts, you need to install them separately [23:49] Asko, yes you do . . . [23:49] it downloads them [23:49] and installs them [23:49] oh [23:49] ttf-mscorefonts-installer [23:49] Hardware drivers [23:49] Dulak: this comp has 10.10 and never locate worked.. [23:49] i must of missed something then [23:49] thanks [23:49] Asko, apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer [23:49] will do [23:49] Asko, I recommend just isntalling ubuntu-restricted-extras metapackage. [23:50] It installs a lot of stuff you'll want, as well as (i think) the ms fonts [23:50] allrights rockets, i'm gonna locate and download [23:50] Asko, Unless you're using kubuntu or something. There's kubuntu-restricted-extras and I believe also xubuntu-. . .

[23:50] nah im using the default ubuntu [23:50] 10.10 [23:51] Asko, yeah, highly recommend ubuntu-restricted-extras then. [23:51] will do [23:52] installing as we speak :) [23:52] <__cool__> Xpistos: try the following: find . -xdev -type d -exec sh -c 'cd {} ; pwd ; or_your_command_here ' \; [23:52] How do I hide the chat menu that is shown at the top right corner, i.e the one to the left of the power icon? [23:52] Asko, bare in mind a lot of that stuff is technically illegal in the USA :-P [23:52] Hi folks, I just got 10.10 netbook ed running on my asus netbook, but wireless doesn't come up. Ethernet cable gets net connection just fine. Is there somewhere I can 'toggle' wireless, maybe it's set to 'off' ? [23:52] rockets: i live in finland [23:52] :D [23:52] any programmers in here???

[23:55] rockets: i get "list No such device" [23:55] is that safe to assume it doesn't recognize my wifi card [23:55] dominicdinada: try bleachbit [23:55] poena, what happens if you load the restricted drivers installer thingy [23:55] !info bleachbit [23:55] bleachbit (source: bleachbit): delete unnecessary files from the system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.0-1 (maverick), package size 234 kB, installed size 1564 kB [23:55] poena, erm, it's called "Additional Drivers" [23:55] does it list anything [23:56] hang on let me look for that [23:56] Under System -> Administration I think. [23:56] Is bleachbit kinda like CCleaner? [23:56] xangua: i am using bleachbit but alas never cleans my home cache and ummm [23:56] očitno neki nism prov naredu [23:56] i don't want the desktop to show the files in ~/Desktop. I want the desktop to be just a wallpaper. is there any way for me to do that, other than maintaining an empty desktop folder? [23:57] Gapi, bibbity boppity boo [23:57] my cursor keeps on freezing in 10.10 it's really annoying [23:57] rockets: I don't see 'Administration', I'm still getting used to this - some of the links are different from 10.04 [23:57] alt-tab makes it work again [23:57] is there just a chit-chat #ubuntu somewhere, too? [23:57] Asko, theres an offtopic room [23:57] sorry i forget i am not in my country [23:57] #offtopic? [23:58] -si [23:58] Asko, #ubuntu-offtopic [23:58] thanks [23:58] poena, I'm running ubuntu netbook, so my menus are different. But there is definitely an additional drivers control panel in there somewhere. [23:58] xangua: and running bleachbit as admin i run it maybe every week but 200 mb in thumbnails 400 mb in local, config 200mb? lol oh i run blechbit with every option selected besides saved pw data [23:58] i'm in ubuntu netbook as well [23:58] hi, just wondering if anyone knows why i am not able to get the correct start time for an application via /proc/pid/stat on debian? it seems to keep resetting itself every few minutes. The same works with no issues on ubuntu. Thank [23:58] ubuntu netbook was too strange for me [23:59] the normal one suits me more :P [23:59] heh i dont have a choice, my hd is only 4 gb and it's a 1.6ghz atom [23:59] + i really hated the desktop problem [23:59] Asko, it's awesome once you get used to it. [23:59] no making folders etc [23:59] rockets, 'Additional drivers' ? [23:59] poena: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [23:59] rockets, well im coming from windows, so the do-it-yourself is kind of new for me :D
