[00:41] i have seen it hang using the update mgr [00:42] ruined an install on me never again [00:42] Reverend_Ruff: no, i do not. [00:42] furi, What was it when you got it? [00:42] hey guys: I have a wubi installation and i just want the first menu to pop up (asking windows 7 or ubuntu) I dont want the one that asks what kernel or whatever. How do I make that invisible or just remove that option [00:42] Reverend_Ruff: what do you mean? [00:42] furi, what is it's name? [00:42] Reverend_Ruff: the folder? [00:43] Rav3nSw0rd: booted back into OS X, then rebooted to refit, works now. [00:43] Reverent_Ruff - not to derail your current conversation, but does that mean that you can take apps that can be started from the command line and add them to the Panel (or to the "Add to Panel" list, more accurately)? [00:43] furi, anything. You keep saying a music-applet, does this applet have any kind of name? [00:43] Rav3nSw0rd: no guarantees it will continue to do so, but oh well. phantom boot problems ftl. [00:43] i hope these nutty panels dont disappear now... [00:43] churl, yes, not a problem. [00:43] Reverend_Ruff: it's called music applet. [00:43] Reverend_Ruff: http://www.kuliniewicz.org/music-applet/ [00:43] Can you point me at documentation on how? [00:43] furi, let me look it up. [00:43] hmm all them open proxys o-O [00:44] anyone familiar with empathy? how do i erase my prevoius conversations? [00:44] churl, use "which to see what the path is. Then use that path as the target in your new icon on the panel or in the menu. Like this: (typing more detailed) [00:45] callen, can't really help you :S but maybe update refit if it's not the current version? [00:45] Using NMAP for my TSC over VPN connection, I get this : "All 1000 scanned ports on 192.168.1.137 are filtered" What should I do ? [00:45] churl, Right click on a panel and select "Custom Application Launcher", under name set the name you want, then under command use /usr/bin/python (just an example), set an icon and a comment and you're good to go. [00:45] Rav3nSw0rd: it works now, refit is the latest version. [00:46] Rav3nSw0rd, Are you there [00:46] Reverend_Ruff: awesome, thanks! [00:46] churl, most commands, like python, don't need to have the absolute path, like /usr/bin/python, set because they're already in the path. Just "python" will work. =) [00:46] LinuxVirgin, yup [00:46] anyone familiar with empathy? how do i erase my prevoius conversations? [00:47] !patience | Chaos2358 [00:47] Chaos2358: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:47] Thank you for your help. That article worked [00:47] LinuxVirgin, np, glad to hear your wifi issue was solved [00:47] Chaos2358: check ~/.local/share/Empathy/logs/ [00:48] furi, http://www.kuliniewicz.org/music-applet/faq.html <- second question [00:48] gnea thank you [00:48] Rav3nSw0rd, I typed the second line of code and hopefully it will not happen again [00:48] Chaos2358: cheers [00:48] whats up with the floodboys questions [00:48] Faith in Linux has been restored, even tho it boggles my brain [00:49] hiya elky!!! [00:49] Hey elky [00:49] Reverend_Ruff: are there any pre made fancy launcher apps that i can add by installing a package? [00:49] Using NMAP for my TSC over VPN connection, I get this : "All 1000 scanned ports on 192.168.1.137 are filtered" What should I do ? [00:49] The 3389 port is filtered, what should I do pleaaase ? [00:49] churl, I do not know of any. That is something you'd do better by either googling or asking on the forum. [00:49] LinuxVirgin, seems to me everything in linux is fixable XD if you don't know it yourself, you'd have to ask or do some searches ;P [00:49] hey guys whats the deal with floodbot questions [00:49] serard, on your router? [00:50] On my MAC using ms tsc I can connect to my other computer over the VPN and it works [00:50] churl: you could just write one using a bash script and zenity [00:50] MattLinux, ignore the floodbots. They're just doing their job to keep our room clean. =D [00:50] =D thx reverend_ruff [00:50] Rav3nSw0rd, That seems true. [00:50] Does this room do cloak? [00:50] so I guess the problem is on my ubuntu side (I'm running Ubuntu using "test mode" live cd on my same mac machine) [00:50] MichKat: that would be #freenode [00:51] ok, how do I get myself one of them? [00:51] >_> wow is that a huge ban list [00:52] MichKat: /j #freenode , they'll be better able to answer your question [00:52] ok, thanks [00:52] Rav3nSw0rd, Once again thank you. I have to head for bed now as its almost 1am. [00:52] :) [00:53] Reverend_Ruff, I have here one machine, an iMac. When running macosx, I can connect to my other computer using MS TSC over VPN. On my live cd ubuntu, on the same iMac, I can't. Any clue ? :) [00:54] (so I guess it is not a router problem, more a routing problem perhaps, but my ufw is inactive and everything is open according to iptables -L) [00:54] Gnea after some searching i finally found "empathy" in my files but no logs??? [00:54] LinuxVirgin, gnite! [00:54] serard, Nope [00:54] gnite [00:55] Chaos2358: you have to cd to that directory, and then look in the sub-directories [00:55] Chaos2358, the "find" command is your best friend [00:55] I have here one machine, an iMac. When running macosx, I can connect to my other computer using MS TSC over VPN. On my live cd ubuntu, on the same iMac, I can't. Any clue ?? :) [00:56] TSC on Ubuntu says "Unable to connect" [00:56] ok found it with "find" command but how do i CD it Gnea [00:56] trying to install wireless drivers. can someone please help me? [00:56] Chaos2358, cd [00:56] sysfet, are they in the repos? [00:56] can someone tell me how to install fonts? [00:57] ok but how does doing it in terminal help me clear the logs? [00:57] i'm confused [00:57] Chaos2358, cd = change directory. Instead of typing rm /path/to/logs each time you'll just cd /path/to/logs then rm log, rm log, rm log [00:58] Rff: i dont think so. i tried clicking on "device drivers" said. there are none [00:58] Reverend_Ruff, ok I'm lost. lol i'm a noob and not familiar with. [00:58] Chaos2358, or you can deleted the entire directory with rm -r /path/to/log/delete_this_whole_directory_here [00:58] Chaos2358: cd is a basic command used on the commandline to change directory so that you can work within that directory, it's sort of like double-clicking on a folder in nautilus. if you've ever used DOS, it's bsically the same thing. [00:58] Chaos2358, what is the path to the logs? [00:58] ~/.local/share/Empathy/logs/ thats what Gnea said anyway. i'm trying to remove the empathy conversations [00:59] Gnea never used dos [00:59] Chaos2358, just do rm -r ~/.local/share/Empathy/logs to delete the "logs" folder and everything in it. [00:59] never used anything but windows up until a few weeks ago [00:59] does network manager output logs anywhere? [00:59] Chaos2358: you're going to need to learn how to use it, and you'll be glad you did, so pop this up in your browser and go through it, you should be able to figure it out: http://linuxcommand.org/lts0020.php [01:00] Gnea, nice one. Forgot about linuxcommand. Good website for linux newbies. [01:00] Kage: no, but logs are generally output to /var/log/syslog [01:00] gnea great thanks. i'm doing my best to learn it [01:00] Chaos2358, also remember you can run man before a command to see it's manual (help) page. [01:00] Reverend_Ruff: I forgot about it for a long time, I'm re-bookmarking it [01:01] Chaos2358: you can do it [01:01] :) [01:01] Gnea thanx [01:01] Anything someone else has done you can do to. Except fly to the moon on cheese wings. Coz you just dreamed that. (It wasn't real) [01:02] Wow, ubuntu himself is here. [01:02] lol [01:02] ALL BOW BEFORE UBUNTU [01:02] Reverend_Ruff: tried doing that, it still isn't showing up [01:03] furi, =O [01:03] my ubuntu wont load [01:03] furi, Then probably recompile it and mark the output this time. [01:03] apparently it's not the real deal [01:03] Reverend_Ruff: to be honest, it isn't that that's the problem either; the make thing is trying to put the .server in the wrong place, and i don't know how to change where it puts it [01:03] baba_bubba, apparently [01:04] why wont ubuntu load [01:04] can someone help me get network manager to connect to my vpn? [01:04] I have a "ovpn" file [01:04] ubuntu, what is the exact issue? What do you see when you press the power button? [01:04] I hate this [01:04] that works when I pass it to the openvpn --config [01:04] ubuntu: define "won't load"...or nevermind [01:04] ubuntu: that's not very descriptive... [01:05] ah, he'll probably go back to windows [01:05] but I can't seem to get the openvpn plugin for networkmanager to work :\ [01:05] ADD assistance seekers, gotta luv 'em [01:05] Reverend_Ruff: the .server files are in /usr/lib/bonobo/servers, instead of /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers [01:05] Reverend_Ruff: and the .server file is never even made in the first place [01:05] and its not being helpful and telling me why it doesn't work [01:05] furi, pastebin the output of ls /usr/lib/bonobo/servers [01:05] Kage: I've always been fine using it via initscript [01:06] Gnea :( [01:06] http://pastebin.com/kXUj9gMa [01:06] rebooting this SLOW as f***machine bbs [01:06] Reverend_Ruff: http://pastebin.com/kXUj9gMa [01:06] I really want to see the functionality of network manager... also it looks neat === brian_ is now known as blfriis [01:07] and I want it to automatically start it [01:07] and where I can turn it on and off with like 2 mouse buttons [01:07] :\ [01:07] Im using custom desktop files right now [01:07] !enter | Kage [01:07] Kage: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:08] Gnea: really if there was just a better log file on WHY its failing I think I could fix it [01:08] furi, I'd recommend you check into just recompiling it?

The Update manager still offers me 10.04 LTS, apt-get update still reads karmic repositories and neither apt-get upgrade nor dist-upgrade find further available updates. What went wrong? [01:23] h00k: they're already registered, just not identified [01:24] rww: ahha. I see. [01:24] Baribal: what's the problem there? [01:24] oh, you think dist-upgrade upgrades distribution versions [01:24] !dist-upgrade | Baribal [01:24] Baribal: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [01:24] !upgrade | Baribal [01:24] rww, that the update manager offers an update that apt-get can't provide. [01:24] Baribal: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:24] Baribal: Ubuntu doesn't support upgrading to a new Ubuntu version through apt-get directly. Use the update manager tool. [01:25] Gnea: how would I enable connection debugging? [01:25] Reading up on it now... But, there's no command line tool to do it (except for editing sources.list and praying really hard)? [01:26] Kage: turning up the verbosity level in the ovpn config file [01:26] Baribal: do-release-upgrade works too. See the UpgradeNotes page and the relevant page it links to; they have instructions. [01:26] Gnea: the plugin doesn't accept a ovpn file [01:26] Thanks. [01:26] Gnea: it wants all the information in the file seperated or something [01:27] Kage: no, you have to manually edit the config file in /etc/openvpn/ [01:27] Baribal: specifically, if you want to use the commandline, and you're going 9.10 to 10.04, you want the "Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades (yes, even if it's not a server) === zakwilson_ is now known as zakwilson [01:28] on the command `lpr something.ps`, how do I set it to print as draft grayscale [01:28] couldn`t find it on man lpr [01:28] Gnea: /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf is the only file I have in the directory [01:29] hey guys does anyone have good experience setting up server edition LAMP? [01:30] ninjamasks: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [01:30] compaq presario 1700 here. looking for [01:30] Kage: should have another one there for the connection itself [01:30] Does anyone know if ubuntu 10.10 comes with multiverse enabled by default? A friend of mine on a new installation is remote and I can't remember if you have to enable multiverse before you run a 'apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras', to enable java in chrome. [01:30] Gnea: nope... I have a ovpn file I can do: openvpn --client client.ovpn with to connect [01:31] or rather --config [01:31] not --client [01:31] stealth-: tell him to run it and see what happens [01:32] Kage: then edit that and turn up verbose [01:32] jrib, im looking for LAMP server file sharing software. one where people can access to up/download, delete, modifty, etc. [01:32] ninjamasks: why not use ssh or ftp? [01:32] Gnea: the connection is FINE with that... I am trying to get it so the network manager can manage my VPN connection [01:32] jrib: Can't. It's over the phone and I really want to just get it right the first time before I call him up, lol >.> [01:33] but the network manager doesn't accept ovpn files [01:33] because its needs to be straight forward enough that my roommaes don't have to use cli or an ftp client even. [01:33] ubuntu? [01:33] stealth-: I think there's some option at install, in any case just tell him to enable it in the gui, if it's already checked, no big deal [01:33] Kage: you wanted more logging, right? [01:33] jrib: Ah, k. [01:33] Kage: sorry, didn't see the part where you said "okay, that worked" [01:33] jrib: Thanks. [01:34] ninjamasks: do you just want to share files on the local network? [01:34] Heh, looks like before I upgrade, I've got to shovel free a bit of disk space anyways... [01:34] !who | ninjamasks [01:34] ninjamasks: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:34] jrib, im planning on expanding it to my residence floor [01:35] Gnea: this is what I am trying to setup: http://imagebin.org/119494 [01:35] ninjamasks, sounds like a case for SMB. [01:36] jrib, im looking for a file sharing portal i guess? [01:36] Baribal, 1 sec ill check it out [01:36] Hi, I installed ubuntu before, during installation it recognized my windows installation and asked if i wanted to move the files over [01:36] Gnea: but all I have is a .ovpn file [01:36] i'm wondering if ubuntu 10.10 will recognize a vista installation and offer to transfer files to the ubuntu installation during install [01:36] Baribal, isn't that just a protocol like FTP or AFP? [01:36] to those in their offices: say "alpha kenny body" out loud [01:36] Gnea: I tried creating the files it wants from the ovpn as all the correct feilds are there [01:37] Gnea: but its not accepting them [01:37] Kage: OH, didn't know you're using kubuntu [01:37] Gnea: its not even attempting to connect to the OpenVPN [01:37] Kage: maybe you need to ask in #kubuntu [01:37] Kage: I've never used that thing [01:37] Gnea: I did, nobody gonna help me :\ [01:38] *sigh* [01:38] * Kage cries [01:38] Gnea: There's no difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu, excluding the GUI. [01:38] anyone here that can help me? [01:38] ninjamasks, yes, but it's the "usual" protocol, which means that it won't require clients that aren't installed on most computers anyways. [01:39] Kage: hm, is network-manager-gnome installed? [01:39] bobthemilkman: there is in the way the GUIs handle different events. [01:39] Baribal, what about web server software, such as a website they can access through their browser [01:39] Gnea: no, I am am using network-manager-kde its should be pretty much the same though [01:39] bobthemilkman: because we're not talking about the underlying layer at this point [01:39] Kage: doesn't matter, install it. [01:39] i need help [01:39] ... [01:40] Kage: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3081799.0 [01:40] hey [01:40] ninjamasks, just create a folder on your desktop (or wherever else), rightclick, properties, share, check "Share this folder" and "Guest Access", click "Create Share" and already everybody on your network should be able to access the files that you drop in that folder. [01:41] Gnea: thats with KNetworkManager... thats from KDE3 or something [01:41] how do I get a screenshot? [01:41] ninjamasks, of course you can hack up a homebrew webserver solution with LAMP, LAPD or whatever. [01:41] Gnea: quite old [01:41] so what's the chkconfig --list equiv ? [01:41] baribal can you help me [01:41] Baribal, thats what i want to do, yes [01:41] Gnea: network-manager-kde is competely different program then KNetworkManager [01:41] Well, then... Have fun? [01:42] Kage: well I don't know what else to suggest then. [01:42] When installing ubuntu, will it recognize a vista installation and offer to transfer files to the new ubuntu installation?

[01:43] baribal im trying to install mplex and i cant find anything ive looked everywere [01:43] Kage: AFAIK, those are all separate from the get-go, never seen them pooled into one file before [01:43] Ikol, printscreen on your keyboard or Applications >> accessories >> Print screen [01:44] Gnea: they are all in this .ovpn file I have [01:44] :\ [01:44] When installing ubuntu, will it recognize a vista installation and offer to transfer files to the new ubuntu installation?

[01:45] wedwo-, i've had ubuntu ask if it wanted to transfer my documents to ubuntu before [01:45] in previous versions [01:45] MattLinux, neither can I, sorry. [01:45] new to ubuntu, what's the tool used to manage services? surely i don't go edit every single rcX.d [01:45] coz_, I was trying to intall ubuntu and got to the partitioning table, didn't want to proceed because it didn't ask yet [01:46] Gnea: pretty much its own format, has some elements of xml but its not xml [01:46] kreg, do you mean the program called service? :) [01:46] Cjhan, it will only ask long after the partitioning [01:46] wedwo-, maybe 10.10 doesn't? but that wouldnt' make sense, i know for sure ubuntu had this option to transfer document and settings [01:46] Cjhan: it would ask if you leave your Vista partition on there, I believe. [01:46] is it too late to start programming at 18? [01:46] ninjamasks: :-D [01:46] Kage: I just don't know, I'm used to generating everything by hand to get it all setup [01:46] Baribal, heh i might. googling is suggesting i don't have such a tool to manage the services [01:47] Cjhan, ok when you get to that point you wan to choose..i believe it says...ubuntu along side of window...something to that effect... then you should be presented with a "slider" to position the ubuntu partition [01:47] Baribal, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20583 *shrug* [01:47] haxtor: that isn't quite on topic for here, perhaps check with #ubuntu-offtopic as it's not directly Ubunut related [01:47] haxtor: *ubuntu related [01:47] Cjhan, I would defrag vista first though then do that... let me see if I can find a good image how to hold on [01:47] i was just wondering [01:47] Cjhan, yes I seem to remember My Documents too but I cannot give you a definite answer [01:47] coz_, i don't want to duel boot. tho. but install full ubunt on the drive. older versions of ubuntu was able to detect windows and transfer files and settings [01:48] wedwo- ok thanks [01:48] Gnea: I have ssh access to the VPN server [01:48] Gnea: think you could guide me to getting those files? [01:48] coz_, thanks i'm looking right now too, hard to search for that feature [01:48] Kage: not really, I have to get going, got homework to do and then bed before class tomorrow [01:48] What is the name of the package used to change Language in Ubuntu? [01:48] Cjhan: I'd recommend making a backup of your stuff before you do it, just in case. [01:48] Cjhan, mmm that I am not sure of [01:48] Gnea: alright, thanks for the help [01:48] Kage: good luck [01:49] anyone? i grabbed getting started with ubuntu 10.04, but i am running 10.10, will that pdf be close or the same for most things? any new books out? [01:49] h00k, yea but we dont' have any way to do that right now :( [01:49] this Language bug is annoying me and no solution. [01:49] Why would ubuntu not be using this defaultly?? http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-controlling-access-to-linux-services.html [01:49] is there a log file for the "cp" command by default? i'm in the middle of copying 700GB and realize that there are some errors i did not use cp xyz zyx >/sum/dir/log when copying ...should i start my copy over again or is there a log created by default(i am using tty1 to cp) [01:51] Do people generally keep icons/folders on ubuntu desktop? [01:51] Agent001: it's personal preference :) [01:51] What is the name of the package used to change Language in Ubuntu? [01:51] Its just that the icons are so big... [01:51] uLinux: the package is language-selector [01:51] Agent001, I do not... unless I want to transfer them to external storage... but yes it is very personal [01:52] Agent001, I do, but mostly as a reminder to file the files there away to better places. [01:52] does ubuntu support black berry? [01:52] trism: it's just that I downloaded portuguese language packages but I can't use them [01:52] Agent001, can you screenshot that and upload to picpaste.com so I can see it? yes? [01:52] My desktop is the default look [01:52] WXZ: Check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/Blackberry for more information [01:52] dio525i: As far as I know there are no logs for CP command, why don't you use rsync? [01:53] Agent001, what size monitor set at which resolution? [01:53] uLinux: does: check-language-support -l pt; print out anything? [01:53] 1280:800 [01:54] Agent001, and you feel the icons are too large on that [01:54] trism: no :s [01:54] Yeah, the ebook files are huge [01:54] uLinux: so everything seems to be installed (it would print the required packages if you needed any) [01:54] Are there any webcam programs out there that work like convenience-store security cameras, recording a picture every few seconds but only saving the pictures that are substantially different than the previous picture? [01:55] Agent001, ok open nautilus [01:55] rojanu i am trying to recover a hd for a friend..it's ntfs...has some errors and bad blocks...i just forgot to make a log file when i started copying...didn't realize my mistake until 3hrs in : P....will rsync amend any missing files after my initial copy is over? [01:55] trism: yeah but im unable to use them :( [01:56] Not sure what the nautilus is :P [01:56] i need some help getting my ntfs partition to auto mount in xubuntu [01:56] <{bosco}> how to make it so that my webcam instead of showing my webcam shows a video anyone know::?? [01:56] Agent001: where you browse your folders and files [01:56] Agent001, under the "View" tab there is a section named "Icon View Defaults" and that is probably set at 100% you can change that there ....nautilus would open when you open your home directory [01:56] oh, that'd be great [01:56] Agent001: Nautilus is like Explorer :P [01:56] dio525i: rsync sync files between two different dir, So, it only copies/moves if target is different than the source [01:57] hi. how should i go about switching from ubuntu netbook remix to regular ubuntu? [01:57] rajanu: thank you very much! i will do this after my initial copy is complete...saved me a 3hr mistake [01:58] Agent001, find it? [01:58] dio525i: good luck [01:58] redondos: I would say install ubuntu-desktop package [01:58] Anyone have issues with USB ports "freezing" on 9.10/10.04/10.10? [01:58] I'm not seeing "icon view default" [01:58] rojanu: it's installed, rojanu [01:59] hey everyone, ubuntu 9.10 starts to load, I get the ubuntu logo, then nothing but a black screen ideas? [01:59] Agent001, ok do you see the "View" tab under Edit / preferences [01:59] Agent001, go to the "Edit" menu and open Preferences [01:59] Oh now i see [01:59] Agent001, when that dialog opens the first tab ...in maverick>> is the "View" tab [02:00] Agent001, ok cool [02:00] hey everyone, ubuntu 9.10 starts to load, I get the ubuntu logo, then nothing but a black screen ideas? [02:00] Thanks coz [02:00] redondos: Then you have Ubuntu running. I am not exactly sure what the remix is. What exactly is what you want [02:00] Agent001, no problem [02:00] rojanu: oh i got it. just select it in gdmsetup [02:00] thanks [02:00] My desktop is empty, no more gnome menu, no task bar... [02:01] THE_GFR|WORK: Patience, we say the first time [02:01] hmm [02:01] yea don't have a lot of time [02:01] hilarious. The icons look sharp even at 200% size === plaxx_ is now known as plaxx [02:03] Agent001, :) yes .. but now you see can configure the look and feel to suit your needs :) [02:03] THE_GFR|WORK: It seems your screen resolution is not right, I can't remember of top of my head but there is an X shortcut to change screen resolution. I think it was (CTRL + ALT+ +) try it multiple times see if that helps [02:03] Agent001, most of the icons are svg format meaning you can make them wall size and they will still be sharp [02:03] ok I'll try, but FYI when I shut it down, last time it worked, it was working perfectly. [02:04] THE_GFR|WORK: Did you do an update? [02:04] After experimenting with the sizes, I think I'd rather prefer the original setting. thanks anyways :) [02:04] uLinux: what locales do you have in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ [02:04] Agent001, :) [02:04] rojanu: thanks for helping, and no updates were done [02:04] trism: en local pt [02:05] Agent001, if after making these changes the icons in your home directory are not original size ...hold down the ctrl key and use the scroll wheel to reset them [02:05] trism: i think the problem is gnome itself [02:05] rojanu: it sits there if I do recovery from the boot loader "waiting for root file system" === mike_ is now known as Guest84894 [02:06] rojanu: it says alert /dev/disk/uuid etc is missing [02:06] Neat trick, that could come in handy [02:07] rojanu: not found, dropping to shell [02:07] 这里有认识中文的吗？？ [02:07] uLinux: possibly, can you launch individual applications in another locale? say: LANG=pt_PT.utf8 gedit; [02:07] how do i make eSATA drives automount? [02:07] 我怎么才能进入中文聊天室阿？？ [02:07] join #python [02:07] THE_GFR|WORK: on grub menu when your kernel is selected hit "E" key and go to line starting with vmlinuz at the end there should something like "splash quite" delete them and hit "B" [02:07] !cn | shumeng [02:07] shumeng: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:07] !jp | shumeng [02:07] shumeng: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [02:07] how do i join a channel via command line? [02:07] THE_GFR|WORK: that should tell you what the bootloader is doing [02:08] rojanu: ok just a sec [02:08] shumeng: type /join #ubuntu-cn [02:08] thanks [02:08] uLinux: please don't just guess randomly ;P [02:08] anyone willing to help me with some internet issues that I get while on Ubuntu?

[02:09] I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 for a touchscreen kiosk-like system, and I've been pruning startup scripts, but now it doesn't shutdown properly. It goes through the process, but the power doesn't turn off at the end. Can somebody look at http://pastebin.com/g5XqECmS and tell me which script I shouldn't've disabled?

I've gone onto Windows to try and see if it was just the connection but it worked like always. [02:10] rww: Note that part of the answer said "apt-get" [02:10] Last time I tried using a straight tiling window manager on Ubuntu, a lack of a status panel put crimps in my day. [02:10] shortcircuit, there's a plugin for compiz that does it. But it's not very good in my opinion, you are much better off installing awesome or wmii [02:10] shortcircuit, so have you gone back to compiz with both the tile plugin and grid plugin? [02:10] bobthemilkman: giving inapplicable answers to questions is fun, I take it :\ [02:11] rojanu: I did that, it does not work I still get the splash screen, I removed the "quiet" it tries to boot off of uuid that is wrong for some weird reason [02:11] shortcircuit, awesomeWM has a built in status bar [02:11] Ok, I'm on ubuntu 10.04, and I installed the vlc-plugin-jack. I've checked, the library is in the right place, /usr/lib/vlc/audio_output/libjack_plugin.so. I start vlc and it doesn't register that it exists. No entry in the list of plugins, no functionality.

[02:11] Maahes: So, e.g. NetworkManager's status applet will show up? [02:11] it appears if it says it does not exist [02:11] rww: apt-get update updates aptitude. [02:11] otherwise on other window managers you're supposed to use dmenu (there's another menu or two as well, but most people use dmenu) [02:11] shortcircuit, yes.

[02:35] uLinux: check-language-support -l pt --show-installed; will show all the available packs, you could apt-get install --reinstall those packages too [02:35] EeePC_woes: pastebin? [02:35] tomgra, because it takes a good 20 minutes or so to format a drive that big, during which time, the progress bar will sit at 5% [02:36] trism: it shows a lot [02:36] uLinux: yes there are about 9 [02:36] tomgra, make sure your hdd doesn't have 2MB sized sectors [02:37] reinstalling [02:37] psusi it happens when I after I set the partitions for the drive. It stops when it start the /home partition [02:37] hi i upgraded to 10.10 and i cant use ccsm to have any fun display tweaks when i go to preferences appearance and then try to turn on visual effects to normal i get an error about not being able to enable visual effects. any solutions? [02:37] ChogyDan : There's just that one line, after which the [initramfs] cursor shows up [02:37] lapion, what are you talking about? [02:37] EeePC_woes: is this an apt-get/dpkg error? [02:37] tomgra, it stops, or it is taking a long time? it will take a long time for a drive that big [02:37] newer hdds have 2mb sectors instead of 512 k.. [02:38] lapion, think you mean 4kb [02:38] Woe is me [02:38] yeah sorry [02:38] hi, why there is no liblame-dev in maverick? [02:38] lapion, and that doesn't matter [02:38] Gnea, to mount sdb is it: sudo mount ex4 /dev/sbd /media/ ? [02:38] of course it does [02:38] lapion, not unless you are installing 8.04 or something quite old [02:39] [02:39] would someone tell me how to access to my disk? [02:39] it stops and then I get the following error "(Process:301): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown users id (0)" [02:39] chzkeeper: If you write a udev rule to give the device 000 permissions, it would be easy for you to "unlock" it if you need to repair/recover that partition from Ubuntu. [02:39] oknvm [02:39] trism: nothing changed im gonna reboot [02:39] wish me luck [02:39] uLinux: good luck [02:39] lapion how do I change the sector size/ [02:39] ChogyDan : to recap, I have a 1005HAB that worked fine running NBR 10.04, I fucked up by installing updates when it wasn't plugged in and it shut down on me half way through, now on boot, after the BIOS screen all I get is that one line error. I have tried using a liveUSB with NBR 10.10, 10.04 as well as Debian (squeeze) but the error persists [02:39] tomgra, what do you mean you "get" that error? that looks like a line that normally you would find if you were to bother looking at the normally hidden error log [02:39] !language | EeePC_woes [02:39] EeePC_woes: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:40] ninjamasks: no, /dev/sdb is the disk itself, you need to specify a partition to mount [02:40] IdleOne : I'm sorry, won't happen again. [02:40] tomaw, just wait 20 minutes for it to finish [02:40] ubottu : I'm sorry, won't happen again. [02:40] EeePC_woes: you get that error even with the live disks? [02:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:40] thanks, undecim [02:41] The install will start partitioning the drive and then when it starts the /home partition it goes to a blank screen with that error on it. [02:41] trism: it looks like is not affecting gnome [02:41] Hmmmm. Is there any way to reload /etc/init.d/gdm from within gdm? There's an error with my video card settings and alt-ctrl-F1-6 don't work (won't display viewable screens). [02:41] ChogyDan : I don't have an external drive, so it's the liveUSB not the disk. It's the same error with the liveUSB [02:41] psusi there nothing I can wait for it stops and then gives me that error. [02:41] trism: some stuff has changed [02:41] language [02:41] tomgra, can you take a screen shot? === Vialas is now known as Vialas|away [02:42] EeePC_woes: hmmm, I don't know, maybe reset your bios or something. [02:42] chzkeeper: You could also make a mountpoint /mnt and set it up with a "noauto" in fstab if you don't want to go through the trouble of writing the udev rule. That would be much more straightforward. [02:42] !away > Vialas|away [02:42] Vialas|away, please see my private message [02:43] uLinux: I am not sure what else to check [02:43] Gnea, sudo mount ext4 /dev/sdb1 /media/ ? [02:43] ninjamasks: you might not even need the 'ext4' bit, and I wouldn't do it straight to /media/, but maybe /media/dir/ [02:43] EeePC_woes: are you sure that it is booting the liveUSB properly? Ie, you have to hit the right buttons on boot, something like esc or f2 [02:43] I wish I could take a screen shot but I has not installed Ubuntu at this stage [02:43] I notice that 10.10 doesn't use uswsusp. Does that mean I can use a swap file for hibernation now? [02:43] ChogyDan : I'm willing to try anything, the data on it is all backed up. I will however need specific instructions, since I'm an utter n00b [02:44] trism: you are a hero :) [02:44] hi someone said to go to package cleaner to resolve my problem. how do i get to package cleaner? [02:44] UbuntuNoob: tell us your actual problem [02:44] trism: PT wasnt set in Language & Text :P [02:44] ChogyDan : Yes, it's esc. on mine. It throws up the option to pick which device i want to boot off of [02:44] Is this maybe a hardware issue? === zipp01 is now known as zipp0 [02:44] EeePC_woes: can you get into the bios? [02:45] ninjamasks: well I have to go now, do you have it figured out? [02:45] ChogyDan : Yes [02:45] Is this the same channel as irc.ubuntu.com #ubuntu? [02:45] ah yes it is [02:45] jimi_: yes [02:45] jrib: im using ccsm to enable some cool effects on my windows and i went to preferences under system then to appearance and tried to enable desktop effects and it said it couldnt enable my desktop effects and i heard to fix it i could go to package cleaner and do something from there [02:45] gnea, no, i still cant get it to mount [02:45] UbuntuNoob: what video card do you have? [02:46] !bot > uLinux [02:46] uLinux, please see my private message [02:46] Psusi do you know what might be causing this? [02:46] hey everyone whats the default password for ubuntu 9.04 live disc? [02:46] jrib: not sure; i hat 10.04 installed and everything i did worked seamlessly [02:46] UbuntuNoob: lspci will tell you [02:46] ninjamasks: try it like this: mkdir /media/dir && mount /dev/sdb1 /media/dir [02:46] THE_GFR|WORK: there is no default password, it's blank [02:46] ninjamasks: might need sudo [02:46] tomgra, not having Ubuntu installed does not prevent you from taking a screen shot [02:46] THE_GFR|WORK: you shouldn't ever need to even worry about what the password is [02:46] i sort of want to do a clean install of 10.10 [02:46] jrib: not true [02:47] THE_GFR|WORK: example? [02:47] tomgra, do you only see that message if you click the triangle at the bottom of the installer window near where it says it's at 5%? [02:47] that did it [02:47] jrib: I need it so I can SSH into the box and run some commands to fix it [02:47] thank you [02:47] tomgra try manually creating partitions beforehand with gparted [02:47] gnea, thanks [02:47] what is the default PASSWORD?! [02:47] i installed ubuntu on my laptop and the wireless card no longer works. how can i get my wireless to work again? [02:47] gnea, it worked :) [02:47] THE_GFR|WORK: you are sshing into a live cd? I told you the password already. [02:47] i have a 10 gb ext4 partition that is / and a 50 gb ext4 partition that is /home [02:47] ninjamasks: cheers [02:47] EeePC_woes: well, if you are getting the error, even with a live install, maybe there is a hardware issue. Sometimes the bios will have a reset to defaults like option, and maybe that would help. Im kinda out of ideas [02:47] jrib: I missed it [02:48] THE_GFR|WORK, there isn't a password [02:48] I can't because when it goes to the blank screen everything freezes. [02:48] THE_GFR|WORK: There isn't one. [02:48] jrib: i cant find it in that list im still working too [02:48] it asks for one and isn't blank [02:48] THE_GFR|WORK: I don't understand why you would ssh into a live cd to fix it [02:48] ChogyDan : OK, Looking at it now [02:48] UbuntuNoob: grep VGA [02:48] jrib: so I can copy commands and use the web to fix it... [02:48] lapion I will try gparted maybe that will work. I hope. [02:48] anyone know how to fix the wireless? [02:48] tomgra before starting the install program do the partition creating [02:48] THE_GFR|WORK: but why are you bothering? How could you have broken it and why aren't you just rebooting? [02:49] Intel 82852? [02:49] jrib: it won't boot correctly it says it can't find the right uuid for the HD or something [02:49] so anyway [02:49] lapion so I shoule use gparted then do the install? [02:49] THE_GFR|WORK: if you can't boot it, then you can't ssh... [02:49] how do i clone the contents of one hard drive and store it on another hard drive so that i can format the drive and then put the contents back on it? [02:49] jrib: Intel 82852? [02:50] EeePC_woes: just to clarify, you select the liveusb, and then what happens? [02:50] UbuntuNoob: why is there a "?"+ [02:50] tomgra, just try creating the partitions and filesystems, afterwards only point to the correct partitions in the install program [02:50] Sean93, depends... why do you want to do that? [02:50] jrib: i did that lol i wasnt sure if that was right or not [02:50] the drive wont mount [02:50] THE_GFR|WORK: if you can't boot it, then you can't ssh... lol [02:51] Sean93, what do you mean? [02:51] I can ssh into it via the LIVE DISC but its asking for a PASSWORD and I need the password blank does not work, nothing does not work [02:51] tomgra, if gparted cannot handle the partition scheme try using parted [02:51] I can ssh into the LIVE DISC [02:51] but I need the password [02:51] THE_GFR|WORK, then you need to set a password === Tanvir is now known as Tanvir|Busy [02:51] gah [02:51] lapion I will try your suggestions.

[02:53] THE_GFR|WORK: into where? Live cd? Install? [02:53] THE_GFR|WORK, go set a password with the passwd command... there is none by default [02:53] trism: the cause of the problem was Bleachit.

[03:03] Sean93, hrm... the partition appears to extend beyond the end of the drive [03:03] nimbiotics: podcast is not a file type, it is a marketing term.

And I followed the instructions pretty closely, and didn't return any errors [03:11] if i could add a column for that it owuld be nice [03:11] hey everyone how do I know what the file type is and how to specifiy it? [03:11] specify it [03:11] dragoneye: If your looking to clone your primary OS for backup purposes you could do so via fsarchiver, FOG, or partimage.

[03:12] jrib: all I need to know is how to specify the file system type with the mount command [03:12] trelayne: system monitor will tell you what is running, bit I don't know how to get a startup log [03:12] rusivi: tank you :-) [03:13] Saik, thanks but I'm thinking in real-time at boot-time... I believe there must be a way to do it [03:13] THE_GFR|WORK: ubuntu will automatically detect it [03:13] rusivi: its my primary partition with window on it, the HD is saying nighy nighty :-) [03:13] Is there any program which shows current mouse pointer X, Y coordinates [03:13] THE_GFR|WORK: it sounds like you are running literally `sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt` but you need to replace X with a number [03:14] sosaited: xev? I'm guessing that's not what you want though. [03:14] gud morning to all, i bought new hp deskjet 1050 printer.. u ubuntu 10.04 is not detecting it... can u pls help me [03:14] trelayne: probably is, I just don't know it, sorry [03:14] ChogyDan: trying to! [03:14] Saik, oh no problem, didn't expect you to know! [03:14] how do i find stuff, when i search in nautilis i cannot see a directory for the files, just the name, i need the folder as well - can i add a column for that? or is there a better way? [03:15] was more for others gurus [03:15] trelayne, install the bootchart package [03:15] Nobuddy: well you could use locate or find in the terminal. Or right click on the file result in nautilus and go to properties. Don't know of a another way to do it in nautilus [03:15] trelayne: you want some text to tell you what is going on instead of just the pretty boot graphic? [03:16] jrib, yep [03:16] jrib thx [03:16] thanks psusi [03:16] trelayne: do you happen to also not want gdm to start? [03:17] jrib, it's mainly because something is dramatically slowing down the login window from showing earlier than a minute [03:17] I can't get it to mount at all [03:17] trelayne: ah, then bootchart is probably more helpful in that case. [03:17] THE_GFR|WORK: what are you trying to mount then? [03:17] it just won't so I guess I'm stuck reinstalling and LOSING ALL MY FILES!!! that pisses ME OFF!!!! [03:17] THE_GFR|WORK: I don't think we can help further until you pastebin all the terminal text of your attempt [03:17] jrib, thanks none the less [03:17] THE_GFR|WORK: if you want help, do what people ask you to. Stop ranting here [03:17] jrgp: Not really. I actually needed something to tell me exact coordinates of a specific area so I could use that in ffmpeg/x11grab to record the screen. But I found a better solution as ffcast. Thanks :) [03:18] jrib: my issue is I turned on this machine it boots to a screen that says the uuid DOES NOT EXIST [03:18] THE_GFR|WORK: yes, and I told you what you need to do. You said that all you needed was something else and ignored me. [03:18] sosaited: so the whole guess and check metod isn't your style huh? lol (I usually just guess and get lucky) [03:18] I booted the live CD of ubuntu to mount the hard drive and I can't mount it with mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mount/mount [03:18] er [03:18] I booted the live CD of ubuntu to mount the hard drive and I can't mount it with mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/mount [03:18] there we go [03:19] it says wrong file type or bad superblock [03:19] and thats WRONG [03:19] THE_GFR|WORK: creater a directory and then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 (your path here)" [03:19] -r [03:19] gud morning to all, i bought new hp deskjet 1050 printer.. my ubuntu 10.04 is not detecting it... can u pls help me [03:19] Alright, I'm really really new to linux [03:19] I have a nVidia video card: product: NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000] and the driver is version 96.43.17, I was about to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) but the release notes say "The new Xorg 1.9 available in Maverick is not compatible with nVidia based chipsets that use the (nvidia-96) and (nvidia-173) drivers. " What does this mean? [03:20] THE_GFR|WORK: have you tried leaving off the -t? [03:20] sanjay: have you installed the drivers from the repository? [03:20] oh [03:20] lemme try dstanek [03:20] stringarray: it means, wait to upgrade :) [03:20] And when I enter the command "sudo -i", it asks me to enter my password but nothing shows up when I type it. [03:20] saik: how.. i don't know any thing i am very new to ubuntu [03:20] Mac102250: that's normal, you don't see it [03:20] sanjay: search symantec for it [03:21] Oh, I thought it would turn it into asterisks. [03:21] no that fails dstanek [03:21] Well, now I feel dumb. [03:21] THE_GFR|WORK: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid". [03:22] Mac102250: Common mistake :) [03:22] I have a question about packaging. Is this the right place to ask? [03:22] Saik: Well I am all for guessing and experimenting, but sometimes you don't have the luxury to do that if what you want to record will be there for just once :) [03:22] sosaited: good point [03:22] Thanks guys [03:23] sosaited: you can ask but depending on the question, #ubuntu-packaging or -motu may be more helpful [03:23] http://www.pastebin.org/356716 [03:23] psusi: i ran the chkdsk and got the error "the second NTFS partition is not readable" or something lol i cant remember :S [03:23] sionide21: probably #ubuntu-packaging [03:23] sionide21: you can ask but depending on the question, #ubuntu-packaging or -motu may be more helpful [03:23] THE_GFR|WORK: are you sure sd1 is the device you are looking for? [03:23] well the SDA is the 500.1GB hard drive [03:23] which has the OS installed on it and it is saying the UUID is wrong [03:23] jrgp: I guess that was meant for sionide21 :) [03:23] Thanks, I'll head over there [03:23] sionide21: *nod* [03:23] Is there a way to delete events for a set of pictures in Shotwell? The photo manager is cluttering my screen with automated events by date only. I'd rather use my own events. [03:23] THE_GFR|WORK: does sda only have one partition? [03:24] sionide21: erm... that nod was for you :P [03:24] dstanek: it has whatever is needed for ubuntu to run, swap and main partition etc [03:24] THE_GFR|WORK: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid". [03:24] psusi: you here? [03:24] Jordan_U: I did above [03:25] while I am here, I might as well ask it. I use Gnome PPP to connect to my Evdo connection. Is there a way I can set it up so it always connects about one minute after Ubuntu starts. ? [03:25] THE_GFR|WORK: Ahh, didn't notice because you didn't use my nick. Sorry. [03:25] Jordan_U: np [03:25] I have the UUID listed by blkid but why does it drop me to busybox and say the uuid does not exist? [03:25] ok I want to know... what can I uninstall from my PowerPC ubuntu system so I can have ubuntu act as a bootstrap (or whatever you'd call it) for qemu and reactos? [03:25] How do I setup gnome-terminal with a background image but *without* transparency...so far I can only make the background image appear if I also enable transparency!? [03:25] how do I fix this!!!??!?!?!?!?!? [03:26] * THE_GFR|WORK says fixit fixit fixit fixit fixit fixit fixit [03:26] THE_GFR|WORK: stop that please [03:26] !helpme | THE_GFR|WORK [03:26] THE_GFR|WORK: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [03:26] I dunno what to do next!! [03:27] THE_GFR|WORK: Wait patiently for more instructions. [03:27] THE_GFR|WORK: patience is a virute, do try to excersize it [03:27] exercise* [03:27] wow.. I'm typo city tonight.. [03:28] ShapeShifter499: you want to run Reactos inside a qemu VM inside Ubuntu? [03:28] Im trying to use the usb-creator tool on the disk to create a bootable usb flash drive, and the iso isn't showing up to install from [03:28] Ok, so based on what I've found in forums it seems Shotwell imposes its date events on you, and you can't delete if if you tried? [03:28] porjo: ya but in such a way to where it looks like react os is the only thing installed [03:29] Sean93, looks like that drive is fubar... did you format it originally under windows? [03:29] How to i clone the data on hard drive one and store the data on hard drive two, so that i can format hard drive one and but the data back onto it? there is about 400GB of data. [03:29] psusi: sorry didnt see your reply [03:29] THE_GFR|WORK: Please pastebin the output of "sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1". [03:29] ShapeShifter499: you could launch it fullscreen - that would give the impression that it is the only thing installed!? [03:29] Sean93, drag and drop [03:29] psusi: i didnt format it when i bought it [03:30] Sean93, and it came new? [03:30] yes [03:30] Sean93, wow, that's fubar [03:30] Sean93: alwaya a good idea to format things when you buy them [03:30] porjo: I know but what can I uninstall so I can free up ram, how do I turn ubuntu ppc into a minimal system just for running qemu [03:30] fubar? [03:31] http://www.pastebin.org/356916 [03:31] Jordan_U: http://www.pastebin.org/356916 [03:31] Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition is the cleaned up version [03:31] psusi: how do i fix it? [03:31] so will it finish up ever? [03:31] Sean93, copy your files to another drive and reformat it [03:32] THE_GFR|WORK: There should be more output than that if you wait. [03:32] Jordan_U: how long? this is a 500GB hard drive [03:32] what is the best way to do that since ubuntu wont mount the drive? [03:32] whats a good FTP client for Ubuntu? not having much luck. wish #1 - sshfs supported ftp. wish #2 - nautilus allowed setting remote permissions [03:32] THE_GFR|WORK: At least 5 minutes. [03:32] ok [03:32] Blender shows as installed but ic annot find it on any of the menus, any ideas? [03:32] ps. not filezilla [03:32] Sean93, with windows [03:33] THE_GFR|WORK: how fast is your processor? [03:33] Saik: 3GHz socket 775 intel CPU [03:33] ShapeShifter499: you still need X windows, however you shouldn't need Gnome or KDE WM - perhaps go for a lightweight WM like Xfce? That should free some RAM [03:33] Sean93, have you ever had Ubuntu mount this drive in the past? [03:33] nimbiotics: reboot, it'll appear [03:33] psusi: no [03:33] THE_GFR|WORK: i7? [03:33] Sean93, it's hard to believe that a new drive would come with a broken format, but that appears to be the case [03:33] Saik: no P4, 3GHz socket 775 [03:34] Sean93, is this drive in an external enclosure or anything? [03:34] THE_GFR|WORK: ah.. sorry, not good with processor numbers lol [03:34] its an external, forgot to mention that [03:34] ChogyDan : OK, I tried it again with the HDD disabled, and now it's asking me to reboot and select a proper boot device. The current preference is for it to boot from removable device, so i guess this means the liveUSB isn't working? [03:34] porjo: hmm ok ok thanks... [03:34] ok on pass 5 [03:34] porjo: I'll google this more [03:34] Saik: found it under graphics ... i was looking under sound & video [03:34] Sean93, hrm.. your external drive enclosure might be broken and making the drive appear smaller than it is... you should try connecting it internally [03:35] EeePC_woes: actually, I think that sounds about right. You are getting a double wammy. Error, and the livecd isn't working [03:35] THE_GFR|WORK: it might take a little over 10 mins, estimation on the lengthy side by me [03:35] it has a lot of errors how do I fix it? [03:35] wow rhymnbox fail.. randomly stops and crashes [03:35] saik: how do I let it fix the errors? [03:35] besides using lock when screensaver activates is there another way to lock the screen [03:35] psusi: should i reformat it before i try that? and also do i just drag and drop in windows? [03:35] nimbiotics: ok, it ppeared for you. it doesn't alays/ didn't used to always [03:35] ChogyDan : I just created the liveUSB on my mac and followed all the steps exactly. The terminal output matched what the official ubuntu site says [03:36] frostbyt3, same here [03:36] mr_orange_: ctrl+alt+l [03:36] mr_orange_: crtl+alt+L [03:36] Sean93, yea, you can just drag and drop in windows... no, you should not reformat until you try connecting it internally... if it IS just the enclosure, then there's nothing wrong with the drive or the data on it [03:36] ChogyDan : Any idea where to go from here? [03:36] thank [03:36] Jordan_U: hey [03:36] Sean93, this is a USB enclosure right, not esata? [03:36] THE_GFR|WORK: tbh, not my department. I haven't used linux since just after gutsy [03:36] psusi: yes [03:36] Sean93, and it was what? a 2tb drive? [03:36] ChogyDan : It sounds like the only option might be buying an external optical drive [03:36] er.. hardy [03:36] THE_GFR|WORK: Replace "-n" with "-y". So "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda1". [03:37] ok [03:37] psusi: yes [03:37] ok [03:37] i think rhymnbox is like passively scanning all my mounts for music.. it has a bunch of sound files from an old usb. i didnt open them. now they are 'missing' and probably causing it to crash, perhaps [03:37] Sean93, yea, my guess is that the drive is larger than the enclosure can handle [03:37] EeePC_woes: Im afraid I don't know macs at all [03:37] so do i need to install it internally? [03:37] Sean93, yep [03:37] does that void my warrenty? [03:37] !repeat [03:37] EeePC_woes: maybe find a friends computer with windows or ubuntu, and burn the disk there? [03:37] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [03:37] Sean93, ohh..... it CAME as an external usb drive? [03:38] thanks [03:38] yes [03:38] Sean93, wow... what make an model is this? [03:38] Sean93: it it a wd? [03:38] EeePC_woes: Apple's firmware is buggy, its BIOS inteface doesn't work with USB. [03:38] is it* [03:38] ChogyDan : Yes, i guess that's the only option. [03:38] WD elements [03:38] how do I find a file? "find . xxx.conf" to search system wide? [03:39] Jordan_U : So there is no workaround for making a liveUSB on a mac? [03:39] I have a mybook, it wasn't particularly happy with linux (mine's a 320) [03:39] al_nz1: use locate [03:39] Jordan_U The ubuntu site lists out the instructions on making a liveUSB through terminal pretty clearly [03:39] hello everybody [03:39] !hi | johni [03:40] doh.. [03:40] have the weirdest problem with an apple keyboard, I push 4 and 5 fast and the tabs in firefox change [03:40] EeePC_woes: Yes, you can make a LiveUSB from a mac that will boot on any other PC with those instructions :) [03:40] jrib: ta [03:40] it's been a while since I've used the bot :P [03:40] al_nz1: try 'locate' [03:40] EeePC_woes: It *can* be worked around using grub-efi, so that you don't need to use the BIOS interface. [03:40] hi, I'm using xinput_calibrator to calibrate a touchscreen. It says to put configuration into /etc/hal/fdi/policy/touchscreen.fdi But 10.04 got rid of HAL, so where should I put this stuff now? [03:40] ie locate . xxx.conf [03:40] I've got a flash presentation on my LAN server that I'm accessing from within the lan.. when it get's to the point of actually playing a video nothing comes across. Is there a plugin or package I need to install to spool the flash video? All I've installed currently is apache2. [03:40] to search system wide? [03:40] psusi: Its a Western Digital Elements 2TB [03:40] Jordan_U: its still checking now [03:41] Jordan_U Gotcha, so the Mac + Eee combination is a bad one. How complex is this grub-efi workaround? [03:41] al_nz1: yeah - providing that mlocate is set to run daily from crontab (which it is by default) [03:41] actually on any keyboard on my ubuntu 10.04 the firefox tabs change when I push 4 and 5 in fast succession, any help? [03:41] al_nz1: otherwise use 'find /' [03:41] THE_GFR|WORK: It's safe to cancel the check (fsck -n) with ctrl+c. Note that it is *not* safe to do the same with fsck -y though. [03:41] porjo: scrolled a whole bunch of files but none of them match the expression [03:41] I going to ask in here because packaging is very low traffic. Packages like mysql-server create a new user when installed. How do they do this? Is it a preinst thing or something else? [03:42] EeePC_woes: A LiveUSB created on a mac should boot on an EeePC without issues. [03:42] Sean93, I'm not sure about the warranty, but if you could connect it directly without the enclosure, that would rule out the possiblity of the enclosure being the problem [03:42] sure indeed 4 and 5 in short succession, only 4 gets typed and the 5 does not :( [03:43] Sean93, it is hard to believe that WD ships drives with either a broken format or a broken enclosure, but... damn... [03:43] porjo: whats the "/" for? [03:44] sionide21: that's just part of the package post install script (embedded in the deb file) [03:44] Sean93: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [03:44] al_nz1: "/" = root [03:44] psusi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569941 it seems like they do [03:44] Saik: "/" the same as using "." ? [03:44] Jordan_U OK, here's what happened so far: I was running NBR 10.04 on my 1005HAB. I unfortunately made the mistake of letting the battery run out while installing some updates, and now when I boot up I get an error saying "udevadm trigger is not allowed while udev is not configured" [03:44] al_nz1: it will search from start to end that way for sure [03:45] al_nz1: find / will start searching at the root of your filesystem [03:45] Saik: hmmm, ok, can you stop the output except for files match expression? [03:45] Jordan_U: it fixed a bunch of stuff on SDA1 [03:45] sda1 [03:45] psusi: once i move the files, how do i format the drive? [03:45] Sean93, can you at least look at the sticker on the drive and get its exact size and/or model number? [03:45] Where do I put xinput_calibrator settings in ubuntu 10.04? [03:46] http://www.pastebin.org/357243 [03:46] Jordan_U This error persisted even when I tried booting from liveUSB, until ChogyDan here had the idea of diasbling my hdd during boot, and the error switched to the generic please insert a bootable media error, which confirms that the liveUSB is the problem (right?) [03:46] i have ubuntu netbook version 10.04 and everyonce in a while my wifi will disconnect and then reconnect again...anyone know why? [03:46] Anyone know if there's a recent development on nvidia-96 drivers and 10.10? [03:46] Sean93, assuming you want to keep it formatted so windows can access it, best way is to use windows [03:46] do I need to reboot and see if it will boot up now ? [03:46] mr_orange: this happens to me every time we run our microwave [03:46] porjo I suspected that. DO you know how to see that? I tried downloading a package and opening it up but I couldn't find any of the files except control and the parts to actually put on the fs (etc, lib, ...) [03:46] Jordan_U So how do I figure out what the problem is in the liveUSB, when I've been using the terminal commands and following them to a T [03:47] Jordan_U with no errors and all output as expected [03:47] well i dont know if thats the case. it does it in class where no microwaves are present [03:47] stupid network failure.. [03:47] Jordan_U: do I reboot now and see if it will work? [03:47] al_nz1: all it will output is what you ask it to [03:47] how can I find to what keyboard is a key mapped to? [03:47] sionide21: actually, that was a bit of an assumption. That's the way it works for RPMs (Redhat distros) and so I'd imagine it'd be similar for DEBs [03:47] mr_orange: any other wireless devices in the room that have the same problem? or, is it just you? [03:47] as far as i know its just me [03:48] psusi: P/N:WDBAAU0020HBK-01 is that what you're looking for? [03:48] I use google voice a lot to make calls from my PC using a USB headset. I need to record some of these calls and have been trying with Audacity, but all i've been able to record so far is my own voice. How can I record whatever is coming thru my headset's speakers? [03:48] nimbiotics: I need an answer to that too :) [03:49] jrib: you an ircop, or just an op here? [03:49] EeePC_woes: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo dd if=/dev/disk_in_osx_naming count=1 | od -x"? [03:49] well why does "find / password.lst" fail when I can see the file???? [03:49] THE_GFR|WORK: Yes. [03:49] al_nz1: try /etc/password [03:49] porjo: there are postinst and preinst scripts, I just have no I dea what happens to the once its all rolled up. I am pretty new to the whole packaging thing :/ [03:49] Sean93, can you open the enclosure and read it directly off the drive? [03:49] Sean93, WD' [03:49] al_nz1: "find /* password.lst" perhaps? [03:49] Sean93, WD's site is being obtuse and refusing to give me any real technical specifications on that thing === Saik2 is now known as Saik [03:50] Ill see if i can open it [03:50] Jordan_U When I boot from the HDD, I only have access to the [initramfs] shell, so I can't use that [03:50] im using ALSA for sound but now i dont have sound in front jack [03:50] al_nz1: "find / -name password.lst" [03:50] Sean93, it's all marketing garbage.. if I can get the model of the drive itself, they usually list the exact sector count so we can check to see if it is being detected correctly or not [03:50] EeePC_woes: I meant from your mac. [03:51] sionide21: if you need a custom install of MySQL, then you're probably best off just installing the tar.gz binary into /usr/local and going from there. Why do you want to hack the DEB package? [03:51] Jordan_U Sorry, Do you want that with the liveUSB plugged in? [03:51] bucky_: now ask the people in here :) [03:51] i need direction trying to have 17 different desktops and displays on one or a few servers who do i ask for help [03:51] EeePC_woes: Yes. [03:51] thanks [03:51] sionide21: ta [03:52] psusi: i cant work out how to open it :S there don't seem to be any screws [03:52] Jordan_U sorry for the inane questions, I R Noob [03:52] my buddy owns a bar we want to put boxee on all tvs [03:52] EeePC_woes: You'll have to figure out the device name to use on your own, it might be listed in Disk Utility. [03:52] EeePC_woes: np :) [03:52] porjo: actually, mysql was just an example of a packiage that I know does this. I am trying to get a smaller project to create its own user so that it doesn't run a webserver as root by default [03:52] Jordan_U I can use diskutil list for that, right? [03:53] EeePC_woes: Probably. I haven't used OSX in a while :) [03:53] Sean93, darn... I'm wondering if WD just formatted it wrong somehow, or if it's the usb enclosure they use that is messed up [03:53] sionide21: ah, ok. Sorry, I'm not going to be much help there - I use Centos for all my server stuff. Just using Ubuntu on the desktop :) [03:53] is there anything special with 4? it activates some sort of special mode when I type it [03:53] can somebody help me? [03:54] Sean93: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [03:54] porjo: lol, ok. Thanks anyway I will just keep on googling. [03:54] that's odd.. [03:54] *shrugs* [03:54] johni: do you mean the key '4' on your keyboard? [03:54] how many desktops does ubuntu support [03:54] Sean93: you tried the drive on windows? [03:55] hey, I'm having trouble extracting the iso from ghost-4-linux to a usb stick ... it extracts, but I cannot make it bootable. Unetbootin locks up when I try to select the ghost 4 linux ISO .. I also downloaded it 2x to make sure the iso wasn't corrupted.. Anyone know an alternate way to make a usb stick bootable? [03:55] Saik: yes, it works [03:56] what does smesg do? [03:56] Bossmanbeta: This channel is for Ubuntu support, try asking in ghost-4-linux's support areas. [03:56] dmesg* [03:56] Sean93: sorry, I'm multitasking and fixing a pc all at once, brain's a bit fuzzy. anyways... have you done a discx check on it since running it on windows? [03:56] porjo, yeap the key 4 on my keyboard [03:56] Sean93: It shows kernel messages, which often have usefull information about why things are failing. [03:56] johni: ok, and what 'special mode' do you mean? What happens on the screen? [03:57] Jordan_U Here you go: http://pastebin.com/QcxcrapG [03:57] Saik: yes, it said something about the second NTFS partition [03:57] Sean93: there's 2 on that drive? [03:57] how can i restart alsa? [03:57] it was activating some special mode [03:58] i think i found the culprint, it was the xmodmap file [03:58] Saik: not that i was aware of, but thats what it said [03:58] EeePC_woes: That output is verry odd. It suggests that you don't even have a partition table. [03:58] tried mounting it on command line? [03:58] er... in terminal [03:58] help? [03:58] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/517177/ [03:59] Saik: how do i do that? [03:59] !Smart [03:59] Saik, he already confirmed the format is fubar by checking it in windows [03:59] Jordan_U I'm sorry, I don't follw [03:59] *follow [03:59] Sean93: off the top of my head it's probably sudo mount -o force /dev/usb0 /dir/here [04:00] Saik, only question is why? either the size of the drive is being reported as too small due to the usb enclosure being broken, or somehow wd just formatted it broken [04:00] Jordan_U what are the implications of that for my Mac? [04:00] Anyone notice that Apple's Mac OS X Lion has a feature called "Launchpad"? Anyone think there will be trademark issues? [04:00] how many displays does ubuntu support [04:00] psusi: I'd try forcing a mount and see what happens personally [04:00] Jordan_U [04:01] EeePC_woes: That command will display the first 512 bytes of your disk in hex. The first 512 bytes of a disk contain the partition table and the bootloader. The first 512 bytes of your disk, according to that output, are all zeroes. [04:01] bucky_: I'm not sure. There could be an arbitary limit, otherwise it's going to be limited by your system resources i.e. RAM - won't don't you try and see how many you can create :) [04:01] mount point /dir/here does not exist [04:01] psusi: the fact it runs in wodows fine shows that it's a driver issue in linux, not the drive itself most likely [04:01] exit [04:01] quit [04:02] EeePC_woes: I assume that you can't actually read any files from that drive currently and that disk utility does not show it as having any partitions? [04:02] Sean93: /dir/here can be anything: /root, ~/mycrappyfilder, etc. [04:02] what should i use? [04:02] Sean93: pick something. I usually use ~/win [04:03] but I have that folder already created, as you will need to as well btw [04:03] The rent is too high. [04:03] how do i create it using terminal? [04:03] porjo, found the culprit was using this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard and one of the mapping for .Xmodmap is add Mod1 = Alt_L 0x007D [04:03] Saik, it doesn't run in windows fine... he ran a chkdsk on it and it reported a similar error [04:03] porjo, the 0x007D is the one that was creating the problems === cece is now known as semo_PlzTellMe [04:04] psusi: not what he said a minute ago.. === foxlover is now known as PauloRicardo [04:04] are the sys > admin > hardware drivers the only proprietary drivers that ubuntu uses? [04:04] Sean93: mkdir ~/win will create a "win" folder in your home folder, if I remember correctly [04:05] porjo_:well not sure of hard ware i need 17 desktops on 17 displays setup on a rackmount a dont want 6 or 7 servers i want one or 20 no input on the displays just different picture === oracle_ is now known as oracle [04:05] i took out the videocard and am now using the builtin one. what is the best way to redo X? do you still dpkg? [04:05] Saik, he mounts in windows, but that is because windows is stupid... I had him run a chkdsk /f and it reported a similar error... I'd really like to figure out if the detected size of the drive is wrong or not but WD's frigging web site doesn't give technical specs for that product [04:07] TB drive here has 931gb total [04:07] william@jesus:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg did nothing [04:07] it'd assume double it (roughly) that's what it should have [04:07] Saik, yea, but exactly how many sectors is that drive supposed to have? because the partition is a few larger than the total detected size of the drive [04:07] sudo mount -o force /dev/usb0 ~/win = mount: special device /dev/usb0 does not exist [04:07] sudo mount -o force /dev/sdd ~/win = mount: you must specify the filesystem type [04:08] Sean93, it was sdd1 for you [04:08] Im having a minor problem. Im trying to change the picture on the logon screen. Ive done it a few times before and it seems like I did it with Ubuntu Tweak. Ive looked all over through Tweak and cant find it anywhere. Did they take it out? Is there another program that I can use? I tried System/Admin/Login Screen, but it doesnt give me the option to change the picture. Can someone help me with this? [04:08] Failed to read last sector (3907027119): Invalid argument [04:08] Sean93, I wonder... can you post the output of sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdd?

[04:12] its a blue and grey window that says postfix configuration and its talking about a mail server [04:12] porjo: Yeah, and be compatible with two resolutions while spanning across two monitors. [04:13] Cause I have two different size monitors. (only one of them is wide screen) [04:13] Sean93, apparently you installed posfix before and didn't finish configuring it [04:13] how do i configure it? [04:13] I dunno [04:13] andri: OK, I currently do that with my ATI graphics card. It's setup using the ATI Control panel. I'm not sure how to do with Nvidia though... [04:13] should i just close the window? [04:14] porjo: I have ATI.

[04:20] frostbyt3, ok I will try that, thanks! [04:20] Jordan_u I'm sorry about that, Firefox crashed (3.6.11 acting up for anybody else?) You'd just asked me about the drive and whether i could read from it. [04:20] hello, i just installed ubuntu and im having trouble connecting my msn account through empathy. it just keeps saying connecting... I have verified my username and password numerous times but i cant get it to connect... can someone assist? [04:20] Sean93, did ctrl-c like I said, or just open another window? [04:21] EeePC_woes, Firefox has been crashing for me since v2 (so about 5 years) [04:21] ati is ftw.. and i was a diehard nvidia guy for the last 10-12 years or so [04:21] how can i locate the .inf file for my wireless card? [04:21] closed the other window because ctrl-c didnt do anything [04:21] andri: try installing the control panel 'sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle' [04:21] Sean93, bah... that's annoying... reboot ;) [04:21] Makkar, ya i know, ati is pretty pro now but they still need to work harder on *nix drivers [04:21] thats the problem when i go fullscreen it goes blank [04:21] jordan_U I think I know what happened - when I first tried that command, It returned a 'resource busy' error so i unmounted it [04:21] ok one sec [04:21] import db.DBObject; in java gives me a 'package db doesnot exist error' even though I have installed javadb using 'apt-get install sun-java6-javadb' [04:21] porjo, I didn't even have the ATI drivers installed. I'm installing them now via 'Additional Drivers'. [04:21] I am using Lucid [04:22] Is it possible to delete a group from the set quotas in ubuntu? [04:22] yeah I cant say i know much about that... last *nix distro I used was a real early redhat release bout 10 years ago.. heh [04:22] can somebody help me [04:22] Does 32x (86x) vs 64x make any difference on Lubuntu? [04:22] but I know their windows shit is rock solid.. even my older 4850's are rockin 60+ fps in everything I play [04:22] frostbyt3 Yes, I know - I hate it's guts, but it's better than Safari, and Netflix doesn't support Chrome, so I end up using Firefox [04:23] Anyone able to help me with my msn/empathy issue? [04:23] lookin to upgrade this tax season to dual 5850's [04:23] I gave up on that msn/empathy issue =o\ [04:23] every time i try to dual view with my tv there is no video === aL3x is now known as alexlea [04:23] thats the problem when i go fullscreen it goes blank [04:23] Jordan_U if you'll give me that command again, I'll run it with the disk mounted [04:23] installed pidgen, but now I dont have the facebook chat [04:23] makkar its common? [04:23] very [04:23] all my other accounts connect fine [04:23] facebook/twitter... [04:24] sup everyone [04:24] email [04:24] its all over the web too.. dating back like 2 years [04:24] really? [04:24] so never been fixed? [04:24] i have to download a separate msn client? [04:24] EeePC_woes: If you can mount it at all then that output didn't come from that disk. [04:24] some people were saying they removed the butterfly deal and made it use the haze one or somethin [04:25] i dunno.. I was pretty stoned when I was tryin to figure it out.. finally said the hell with it [04:25] what? my issue is that it wont even connect [04:25] yeah either will mine [04:25] EeePC_woes, same 8( chrome needs a little work though, it's nice but need firefox for web dev. i used firebird (firefox 1.5) up to like a year ago [04:25] anybody know??? [04:25] psusi: what was the command? [04:25] i thought maybe the server settings were wrong so I double checked those and those havent changed in years [04:25] Hi. I just finished upgrading to 10.04. How do I move the window buttons back to the top right corner? [04:25] is ubuntu really better than win7? [04:26] seems buggy so far [04:26] im new to this... [04:26] Sean93, sudo apt-get install smartmontools --no-install-recommends [04:26] depends on what you need it for I'd think [04:26] what is ubuntu good for then? === tobias is now known as Guest23228 [04:26] TheHammered, LOLs [04:26] does switchable graphics work in Ubuntu? [04:26] ubuntu is faster.. and i havent ran into any bugs with ubuntu directly.. pretty much the only problem is flash isnt playing at full screen for me, and the empathy/msn issue [04:26] every time i try to dual view with my tv there is no video [04:26] Jordan_U Nope, it definitely did, the drive is up and running now and I can open up the ubuntu files within [04:26] thats the problem when i go fullscreen it goes blank [04:27] i use geforce 250 [04:27] im testing it out in hopes of learning linux a bit [04:27] Jordan_U Nope, it definitely did, the drive is up and running now and I can open up the ubuntu files within [04:27] TheHammered, win7 is a proprietary piece of crap and only works because developers are forced to support it's monopoly [04:27] Makkar: flash sucks in linux; for msn you can try other IM like pidgin, emesene, amsn, etc; there is also msn-pecan an alternative msn plugin for pidgin and empathy [04:27] If you give me the command again I'll try it again - perhaps i made a type when typing in the /dev/diskID [04:28] forced... but its still supported? :) [04:28] yeah.. I been in and out of every os since the beginning of computers.. I go in phases.. right now Im into the 'putzin with whats new in linux' phase... couple weeks I'll be back to the 'killin shit in all my games on my win7 partition' phase.. heh [04:28] where can i find the inf file for my wireless card? ive been looking for a way to get my wireless working all day someone plz help [04:28] frostbyt3 Wow - so you were running 1.5 for ~2 years? [04:28] TheHammered, ya sure, but i'd rather not support something hold us back from advancing technology as a whole [04:28] ah makkar [04:28] frostbyt3 true! [04:29] psusi: ok, i installed it. now what? [04:29] i just noticed that when i tap my touch pad to click (im on a laptop) it doesnt click sometimes... [04:29] Sean93, sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdd [04:29] i plugged in a mouse and didn't have that issue [04:30] Jordan_U If you give me the command again I'll try it again - perhaps i made a type when typing in the /dev/diskID [04:30] quite a few minor things arent working like the hotkeys and leds on my asus laptop with ubuntu [04:30] is this normal? [04:30] could be a driver issue with the touchpad... /shrug [04:30] Jordan_U Ha! I misspelt the word typo [04:30] tbh though, for the most part Apple restricts people and manages their product well enough that the Mac is a better alternative to windows in almost? every way [04:30] sorry but this is the first time i'm using ubuntu [04:30] every time i try to dual view with my tv there is no video [04:30] thats the problem when i go fullscreen it goes blank [04:30] anybody know??? [04:30] not really [04:30] EeePC_woes: "sudo dd if=/dev/disk_in_osx_naming count=1 | od -x" [04:31] psusi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/517186/ [04:31] only 2 things mac do better than windows.. and I wouldnt even say better, i'd say easier.. thats audio/video editing [04:31] hahaha [04:31] god knows they dont game better than windows.. lol [04:31] Sean93, that's a seagate drive... I thought sdd was the wd? [04:31] macs look nicer though [04:31] how do i as a normal user create a file in etc/init.d [04:31] you're not a normal user, now are you [04:31] TheHammered, my flatmade had, in his first days with it, quite some trouble with Ubuntu. Now, maybe a month later, he won't touch windows again. [04:31] i tested: sudo echo "hasd" > /etc/init.d/asd .. "permission denied" [04:31] Sean93, check sudo fdisk -l again [04:31] psusi: so did i:S [04:31] is it possible to install win7 after ubuntu to dual boot? [04:32] Sean93, -lu rather.. [04:32] Sean93, it must have moved during the reboot [04:32] a normal mac user ? no.. I like building my own machines.. im a hardware guy... so I will always be a PC =o) [04:32] TheHammered: better install windows first and then any ohter OS [04:32] TheHammered, yes, you boot ubuntu live cd and reinstall grub [04:32] Makkar: :) [04:32] anyone? [04:32] TheHammered, but install win7 first, then ubuntu, and grub will auto-detect it [04:32] it has changed to sdc [04:32] i tested: sudo echo "hasd" > /etc/init.d/asd .. gave me "permission denied" [04:32] i take it its easier to install win7 first [04:32] i see! [04:32] yeah.. thats how I did it [04:32] had to unraid my drives though.. [04:32] sup makkar [04:32] Jordan_U I'm getting the same resource busy error, trying again after unmounting [04:33] clear [04:33] sup [04:33] do u have to create seperate partitions still [04:33] or does grub do it all after [04:33] i did [04:33] /dev/sdc: Unknown USB bridge [0x1058:0x1021 (0x2002)] [04:33] Smartctl: please specify device type with the -d option. [04:33] so how does ubuntu game? [04:33] I have dual 640gb drives... I split one into 2 320gb partitions.. [04:33] I have a strange issue in 10.10. i have a 1TB data drive where i keep all of my files. when i click on it to mount it under the places menu it automatically opens up rythmbox instead of nautilus. where can i prevent this from happening? [04:33] win7 probably has the most games [04:33] then installed win7... then ubuntu [04:33] psusi: what does the u do? [04:33] thanks, i will do that makkar [04:34] the u in lu* [04:34] I did it off of a 4gb flash drive and it worked slick as shit [04:34] just love technology these days.. shits gettin cool as hell =o) [04:34] psusi: nvm i just found out [04:34] why use cds to install anymore... sooo slow [04:34] Sean93, puts it in units of sectors rather than cylinders... damn... I had a feeling the stupid usb enclosure would prevent SMART [04:34] Jordan_U It's the same output again, but I assure you the drive was browsable earlier [04:34] i think your average consumer will find mac a more pleasant experience, smoother, lighter, consistent UI, crash-free, blah blah. btw it has native bash support and bsd based, so you can find a lot of *nix alternatives on it.. so actually it does a lot better. there's just quirks like gaming, but even then - much better support than *nix [04:34] Makkar: indeed it is lol [04:34] makkar can u run pc games on ubuntu? if its wine isnt that slow? [04:35] ubuntu is definitely more stylish [04:35] WINE afaik is a simulator, not an emulator. === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif|afk [04:35] i think ubuntu *can* be more stylish, but its also more inconsistent with all the different UI libs [04:35] TheHammered: it depends on the game if it will run well or not [04:35] whats good on ubuntu? [04:35] kde, gnome, xul, etc. [04:35] i think all ive seen was halo [04:36] TheHammered: there's lots good about ubuntu, but if you're a gamer linux has never been the way to go [04:36] i keep seeing people running wine and lots of games fine on ubuntu, but ive had no such luck.. i always use the newest versions - crappy drivers [04:36] i think my hibernation doesnt work neither... it just turns to a blank screen witha blinking cursor [04:36] TheHammered: If it is a Windows 3D game, you'll probably have more luck with Windows as host, though. [04:36] linux is a vw beetle... not the new ones... while win7 is a cadillac... gas gusler... infinitely more expensive for not a lot more value... linux will get you were you are going cheap... :) [04:36] ah i see [04:37] aroni125, i think u mean to say DirectX game [04:37] I would have to disagree with that frostbyt3.. with windows 7, its alot more user friendly than any previous windows.. and its rock solid stable.. my record on my rig is 43 days uptime in windows7..and I been running it since it was released and have yet to have it crash because of the os.. ive crashed it overclocking my rig a little too far.. lol but i have yet to have a single issue with win7 [04:37] somebody [04:37] Sean93, well, I'd say just use windows to get your data off the drive, then reformat it... guess we won't be finding out tonight whether WD formatted it wrong or used a broken enclosure [04:37] my win7 blue screens [04:37] check your hardware [04:37] does ubuntu crash [04:37] try to cleen up your ram [04:37] TheHammered: then you're just VERY unlucky, I've never bsod'd on win7 [04:38] makkar brand new computer... probably drivers or something [04:38] i havent seen a blue screen yet that wasnt a direct result of me pushin my hardware too far [04:38] im not disagreeing previous windows were shit as well, although i used xp for years, basically being required to do so due to the monopoly [04:38] 43 days uptime hehe [04:38] did u adjust the bios settings [04:38] yes...if you wanted to game on a pc, ya gotta roll whatever mr gates is tellin us to roll [04:38] frostbyt3: I haven't seen a Windows game which uses something other than DirectX or PhysX. [04:38] im less concerned with win7 [04:39] im trying to learn linux [04:39] ubuntu looks like the most user friendly so im starting here [04:39] aroni125, o.o well you aint lookin hard enough, there's a beautiful world of OpenGL supported games out there. [04:39] for what its worth, I could just run ubuntu in vmware, but I wanted to experience it without that overhead... [04:39] how can i fix X? i went from a pcie card to the builtin one [04:39] hi [04:39] i havnt been able to figure out how this ubuntu media player works [04:39] my locate command doesn't work [04:40] all i want is my podcasts [04:40] subscriptions [04:40] when I type "locate php.ini" it doesn't return anything [04:40] tru fact: windows runs faster inside *nix Virtualbox, than Ubuntu does inside Windows, because Windows sucks so much balls, it will also probably kill your harddrive if you don't have virtual memory disabled [04:40] kill it faster at least [04:40] TheHammered: Rhythmbox? [04:40] ya [04:41] Is there an xorg.conf file included in 10.10? [04:41] whats an xorg? [04:41] I have a pretty beastly rig.. nothing kills this beast.. lol [04:41] anyone knows what this does: sudo cat </etc/init.d/dropbox [04:41] but I do know what you mean.. os x runs kinda like crap on vmware as well [04:41] hyperion x window system, the graphics stuff [04:41] NTFS is crap. Windows thrashes your harddrive unnecessarily. It's crazy. Seriously, touch your harddrive when you're running Ubuntu, then try WIndows - especially noticeable with a USB/esata dock. Makes me cry. [04:41] Makkar: my rig is about 6 years old, you jeaulous? lol [04:42] I just got my beastly rig though, disabled VM, rocking a whole 6gb ram! [04:42] lol i think 12 is unnecessary 8) [04:42] lubatic, there is [04:42] yeah it is until you start doing heavy video editing and shit [04:42] Anyone wanna link me to somewhere I can learn all the stuff I should already know about Linux? [04:42] same place it was before iirc [04:43] Nicolas_Leonidas, hi [04:43] actually I kinda am jealous... my favorite times are the old celeron 300a days.. the games during that era were just way funner than anything out these days [04:43] frostbyt3: I was curious, there's not one in Lubuntu. Does X just assume defaults for any options not listed? [04:44] Makkar, there's always the option of writing your own... :) [04:44] is there some sort of ubuntu drivers repository [04:44] this touchpad thing is driving me bananas [04:44] l [04:44] nah.. im an old hippy stoner.. that boat sailed back in the days of basic on my old color computer =o) [04:44] Hyperion, depends, there's a lot to learn in a lot of different categories.. go with the flow, and look up stuff on ubuntuforums/stackoverflow. if you want to know commands (helpful) learn some bash, and stuff.. http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/series?name=pQZLHo5Df [04:45] Makkar, did you ever try coding... on weed? [04:45] should i format my drive to ext4 or NTFS? can windows access ext4? [04:46] no it cant.. at least not natively that I know of [04:46] ext2fs or something like taht [04:46] it works pretty well [04:46] lubatic, i cant imagine lubuntu not having a xorg conf file somewhere.. it just has the default software rendering but you should install some hardware drivers.. can you locate/updatedb it? or look it up [04:46] heh good movie.. and yes.. Ihave [04:46] TheHammered: re Rhythmbox, are you asking about how to add a podcast? re Drivers, there is an additional drivers utility in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [04:47] sadly all I coded that night was a stick figure running across the screen back on my coco3 [04:47] frostbyt3: updatedb is installed. but when I did a "sudo find / -name xorg.conf", nothing came back [04:48] Do you have an old or integrated card? [04:48] so what are some other flavors that are worth checkin out ? [04:49] locate command should work under ubuntu too right? [04:49] locate php.ini doesn't return me anything [04:50] Makkar, until about a month ago, all I coded game-wise was back on my MSX. Now my chessboard is about half-finished. [04:50] Detoxica: I have an integrated intel card [04:51] lubatic, google, it's a beautiful thing - conf but it doesn't have one [04:51] * frostbyt3 will feel bad if that guy was on crack [04:51] EeePC_woes: I must be misunderstanding something then. [04:51] Baribal: yeah I havent done any coding since basic.. back in the mid 80's.. well I cant say that.. I did some coding in OS/9 on my coco around the same time.. but that was more copy and paste out of a magazine.. lol [04:52] Makkar, well, checkout and build Crystal Space, read the official Python tutorial, ask a few questions and you're good to go. :D [04:53] Jordan_U I guess - it does look like an odd output [04:53] as long as you use strong passwords and keep system updated ubuntu should be secure right [04:54] frostbyt3: I don't understand, conf but it doesn't have one? [04:54] Jordan_U Any other ideas? The USB looks like it should, all the right folders for a liveUSB seem to be in the right places [04:54] ooh.. crystal space looks interesting === foenix_ is now known as foenix [04:55] Does anyone know who makes that cheap generic purple/pink 802.11n pccard sold all over ebay and lots of internet stores? What chipset does it use, and does it work with Ubuntu? [04:55] lubatic, it says .config in the title. try searching that. or 1) login root 2) Xorg -configure 3) move /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:55] seriously, google [04:56] Makkar, it is. It has a few kinks, but, you know, OSS, we're working on it. :D [04:56] It's hard to google when you don't know the manufacturer and noone ever lists chipsets in their ads [04:56] Hey guys when I start my pc I don't get samba shares to other windows pc's. Though the samba server is already running and it set it on under chkconfig. I need to do again system-config-samba to get the shares. [04:57] Len: what are you tryin to find out ? [04:57] I have a problem with libfusion. apparently the version update broke a lot of my programs that relied on it such as blender, nexuiz, and openarena. [04:58] for instance "error while loading shared libraries: libfusion-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [04:58] If that generic pink/purple 802.11n pccard sold on ebay and many internet stores has linux drivers. [04:58] Nobody lists the chipset and their is no brand name. [04:58] there [04:59] but I did a locate of the file $ locate libfusion, and it says "/usr/lib/libfusion-1.2.so.0" [04:59] you have windows installed at all ? boot up windows and check device manager.. will probably shed some light on as to who makes it [05:00] I don't have it. I want to find out if it is worth buying. [05:00] ah [05:00] how can I tell all my programs that look for libfusion-1.0.so.0 to use the new libfusion-1.2.so.0? [05:00] I don't want to buy something that only works in windows [05:01] with out having to manually make scripts for each program. I want to get it done right [05:01] len: there's a compatability agent fot that [05:01] I hate it how they always advertise all kinds of marketing "specs" but never list truely important info like chipset. [05:02] I don't want to use a wrapper. That can be a real pain--especially when you want to use wpa2 [05:02] hey guys Im trying to figure out why I cant get my ethernet connection to go past my router...I can ping my router but when I ping say yahoo.com it comes back unknown host...any ideas? [05:03] wpa works fine though [05:03] Ive tried to reset my router, Ive tried to bring the iface up/down and still nothing [05:03] after doing the recent updates Ive lost my windows startup option in the grub menu.. how do i get it back? [05:04] snarkster: do you know what partition Windows is on? [05:04] different hard drive [05:04] sda1 [05:04] youd have to edit the grub.cfg and add it back in [05:04] hmm [05:04] I figured someone here might have tried it becuase not that many cards come up when you search for 802.11n pccards, and it has that distinctive purple/pink color. [05:04] unfortunately thats about all I know :) [05:05] len: usually its best to check the hardware compatibility list before you go buying hardware..it avoids lots of issues.. :) not meant to be demeaning but Ive had my fair share of wireless problems as well [05:06] never mind I figured it out. I used a symlink [05:06] That's what I'm trying to do, but it don't know the manufacturer [05:06] hello all=) [05:06] thanks anyway ubuntu [05:06] len: is it usb or pci? [05:07] is it possible to get a internet connection in wine on ubuntu 10.04? [05:07] glitchd: yes [05:07] neither. It's a pccard. [05:07] ie what used to be pcmcia [05:07] for notebooks [05:07] glitchd: ass/u/mind that linux first has a connect [05:07] well this is what in trying to do, let me explain, [05:08] ok well I would try to see if it comes up when you type in lspci in a terminal [05:08] my internet speed in ubuntu is too darn slow, while in windows it is quite fast. What could be wrong? I am using lucid lynx [05:08] im trying to install a addon into firefox which doesnt work with linux firefox, so i was gonna install firefox into wine to install the addon and use it from there. [05:08] lspci lists all pci devices on the machine so hopefully it might bring up pcmcia as well. [05:08] and yes, linux is connected [05:09] That would work if I actually had the card :) === joseph is now known as Guest66396 [05:09] glitchd: can you prefix messages with my nick please, it helps a lot - type blu+tabkey thanks -- what addon are you trying to use? [05:09] blahsphemer: dont want to give you wrong info but Im guessing possibly tcp/ip stack differences...but i could be very wrong [05:09] len: ooo === Guest66396 is now known as jhardinee [05:09] Blue1, my apologies sir [05:10] Blue1, freecorder is the addon im trying to install [05:10] jimisrvrox, what must I do then? [05:10] Blue1: hey bud is there a way to get me some x11vnc server for my usb in a .deb because im trying to do it with my ubuntu machine but for whatever reason it just wont go past my router [05:10] It's only $11 shipped. I'd buy it in nothing flat if I knew it had drivers. [05:10] It's a mystery card though [05:10] Blue1, but its actually just not compatible with the version of firefox im running, i think.. [05:10] mystery chipset [05:10] blahsphemer: that is a good question which I do not have the answer to unfortunately.. [05:10] mystery manufacturer [05:10] glitchd: please try blu plus the tab key -- nick auto completion. thanks. [05:11] Blue1, but thats of no consequence, i like to stay in linux and not go into windows. [05:11] len: easiest thing to do is grab a magnifier glass and see if you can spot a serial/model # or possibly a chipset # [05:11] Blue1, i did address it to u. [05:12] none of the sites show the back in photos [05:12] blahsphemer: I liked Ubuntu but ive recently switched to PCLinuxOS but make no mistake..the Ubuntu support community is Id say the biggest [05:12] just the front [05:12] my laptop cpu is running at 70-85 degrees celcius - is there a reason this happens on ubuntu but not windows? [05:12] len: sorry but i didnt come in when you first started talking about this card... [05:12] jimisrvrox, if you say so. [05:12] jimisrvrox: what happens if you do a sudo apt-get install x11vnc [05:12] len: so you dont have the card but yet youve bought it [05:13] Blue1, any clues?? [05:13] I want to know is I should buy it. [05:13] jimisrvrox: ahh you want the .deb [05:13] Blue1: dude..i cant even ping yahoo.com says unknown host..ive tried to take the iface down/up reset the router [05:13] It's sold all over, but nobody knows anything about it [05:13] I have no other ideas as to why the hell an ethernet connection would not work.. [05:13] jimisrvrox: sound like dns problem [05:13] yeah thats what I thought too [05:14] so what I did was went to my routing table and plugged in the ISP DNS server.. [05:14] didnt do a damn thing! [05:14] Blue1, i take it u have no idea then..? [05:14] jimisrvrox: can you pastebin /etc/resolv.conf please? [05:14] why it could be DNS when all of my other machines on the net are doing just fine [05:14] because from what I understand you get DNS through your router [05:14] which contacts the ISP DNS service if it cant find it in cache [05:15] ahh guys, please prefix messages with my nick - -thanks [05:15] how can i rip pandora(pithos) in ubuntu linux? [05:15] is it possible to enable touchpad tap zones in ubuntu, e.g. tapping top left corner to trigger navigate back actions? === bob14 is now known as truss [05:16] Blue1: remember I said that I went in and set DNS custom..so it points to the right DNS server according to DHCP settings in my router [05:17] Blue1: I think I ended up taking NetworkManager off of here [05:17] how can i find an active internet radio stream? [05:17] jimisrvrox: /etc/resolv.conf is dynamically generated. if you do an ifconfig, do you have an ip address? [05:17] Blue1: I have static IP set [05:17] I just want to tap the corners of my touchpad so i can nav forward and back. This is really frustrating as I've grown accustomed to tap zones to browse the web or navigate the file manager. [05:18] Blue1: for eth1 because I want to VNC into the machine === Pinna is now known as i [05:18] jimisrvrox: okay what is eth0 then? === i is now known as Pinna [05:18] Blue1: and as far as dynamically generated...its telling me generated by NetworkManager.. there is no eth0 for whatever reason it ends up being named eth1 [05:19] jimisrvrox: sounds like tht's the issue then. do you know what kind of card? [05:19] Blue1: so basically I really dont care about connectivity right now because all I want to do is VNC so what I really need is the x11vnc server [05:19] Blue1: AFAIK its an nVidia nForce on-board eth [05:20] jimisrvrox: well if it's eth1 something is wrong...... [05:20] Blue1: lemme run lspci [05:20] jimisrvrox: I have eth0 and eth1 BUT I also have 2 network cards installed. [05:21] Blue1: ok lspci is showing nForce2 eth controller rev a1 [05:21] jimisrvrox: should work [05:22] Blue1: Ive been able to connect this machine before im pretty sure...so its a suprise to me as to why it wont connect via ethernet...I could understand wireless..but ehternet..but yea man all I want is a .deb of x11vnc server and god forbid I have to deal with deps..id be SOL.. [05:22] jimisrvrox: but it should be eth0 with only 1 network card - bios setting is most likely culprit [05:22] Blue1: the ethernet controller itself works because otherwise I wouuldnt be able to ping the inside of my router [05:22] jimisrvrox: what version of ubuntu are you using? 32 or 64 bit? [05:23] 32 [05:23] but I think im on 9.04 [05:24] what would the debian version of this be: add-apt-repository ppa:maco.m/ruby [05:24] and right now I dont feel like burning any iso's or anything...if anything i would boot off my USB and throw PCLinuxOS on here and just make a new partition [05:24] jimisrvrox: PLEASE prefix messages to me with my nick - thanks you can do a cat /etc/issue to get the release [05:24] Blue1: dude...i hate to say it but it does get annoying with this Chatzilla..because theres two blue's in here afaik..itd be easier just to PM... [05:25] Blue1: 10/04 [05:25] jimisrvrox: private message ok? [05:25] of course..

[05:37] i'm trying to use ubuntu live cd to just connect to a wireless network, and its not working. [05:38] AshyisMe: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [05:38] i tried network manager and wpa_supplicant [05:39] AshyisMe: Are you reinstalling the MBR? [05:42] even after editing the iwconfig file, my internet speed is too darn slow in ubuntu alone, in windows it still is lighning fast [05:42] I am using lucid lynx [05:42] Jordan_U, cheers [05:42] I tried 2 suggestions from google: edit the iwconfig to replace 1Mbps to 54 Mbps and installing wicd [05:43] none of them worked [05:43] aroni125, nah the partitions are fine, i just need to fix up grub [05:43] <^banditoz^> out [05:43] e [05:43] e [05:43] ee [05:43] eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [05:43] Ricci0070ab: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:43] is it better to use ubuntu nvidia driver or proprietary driver [05:44] is there any reason why there isn't any drivers listed in the Additional Drivers thing? [05:44] sorry did i say thing? [05:44] i meant application [05:44] anybody??? [05:44] Cairo: There probably aren't any proprietary drivers your computer can use. [05:45] Cairo: presumably, because it didn't detect any additional drivers for your hardware [05:45] john38: if the Ubuntu one works, I'd recommend it [05:45] john38: go with the Ubuntu ones if they work well for you [05:45] there used to be [05:45] i got this problem my dual monitor view doesnt work so well [05:46] Cairo: Have you upgraded Ubuntu since you saw the driver entries last? [05:46] when i enable twin view on TV i cant see full screen video feeds [05:46] john38: Is this using the Ubuntu driver? [05:46] yeah [05:46] the nvidia 96-43-18 driver [05:46] hey guys. i am trying to install tuxonice in maverick, i was consulting this document and i was wondering if i could simply replace "jaunty" with maverick in the appropriate places. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-tuxonice-in-ubuntu.html [05:46] does no one have any ideas about my problem? [05:46] or is there a preferred method [05:47] I would try the nVidia driver if the Open Source driver doesn't work for your needs. [05:48] just install it from here http://www.suspend2.net/ [05:48] aroni125, i mean im alble to see desktop on TV but when i go full screen on live video feeds it goes blank [05:48] i usually format my usb drives as fat32, i have a nice 8gb corsair voyager mini. today i tried to copy few movies for a friend, it would start as 3.5MB and then go slower, but if i would start to copy more then one speed on each goes under 800kbs. i was googling and searching forums for some time, and then decided to format drive as ntfs . i tried then to copy one file, speed is nice 10.5M. then i tried two 1.4GB files, and they were even wit [05:48] h around 4.5mb. my question is, why are on fat32 that much slower speeds? [05:48] whiten0ise: what driver do you use for wireless normally? [05:48] Theoretically, the next Ubuntu LTS release should be 11.10, right? [05:49] rockets: 12.04 [05:49] rockets, 11.04 [05:49] Cairo: ooh, thanks i didnt see that distros tab [05:49] rockets: they're every 2 years, last one was 10.04 [05:49] nikola: no [05:49] ok [05:49] nikola, rww, ? [05:49] hm [05:49] it's all right [05:49] even after editing the iwconfig file, my internet speed is too darn slow in ubuntu alone, in windows it still is lighning fast [05:49] rockets: 6.06 (delayed...), 8.04, 10.04, 12.04 [05:49] rww, oh yeah, every 2 years, so 10.04 -> 12.04 [05:49] * rww nods [05:49] thanks, rww :) [05:49] what are rockets? [05:50] Hmm . . . so I guess I should use 10.04 for production servers, for now? [05:50] rockets: that's what I'd recommend [05:50] Cairo like bombs that fly fast. [05:50] rockets: upgrading a server every 6 months wouldn't be fun [05:50] thing that bothers me with that fat32 is that i tried it on windowsxp, and speeds were faster on fat32 [05:50] rww, just because a new version comes out every 6 months doesn't mean you need to upgrade . . . non-LTS releases still get 2 years of updates. [05:50] yes but what do rockets have to do with ubuntu? [05:50] anybody here know how to execute .run files [05:50] ??? [05:50] aroni125: i'm using a rosewill usb dongle, so its using the rtl800** whatever drivers...you know? [05:50] Cairo, nothing . . . [05:50] i am happy to see my flash voyager mini rocking on ntfs, but why isnt that optimized for fat32 [05:51] Cairo, it's just my nickname. [05:51] rockets: 18 months, actually. and waiting 18 months and then upgrading through three releases also wouldn't be fun ;) [05:51] i forget the exact name of them [05:51] ah [05:51] Cairo: rockets are also the things that take spaceships up into the sky and a type of fireworks [05:51] rww, true I suppose. [05:51] or is there any workaround for low speeds on fat32, i cant seem to find resonable workaround for it on google, adn i googled for more then 30 minutes [05:51] rww, although I'd never actually upgrade, I'd probably do a fresh install. [05:51] and migrate. [05:51] anybody here know how to execute .run files [05:52] rockets: it's a matter of personal preference, I guess. I subscribe to the Debian-esque scool of getting it set up and working, and then leaving it alone for a couple of years ;) [05:52] school ** [05:52] john38 that could be anything. it's probably just a script or binary that needs to be executed. try doing chmod +x filename and then double clicking it, or trying ./filename in a terminal [05:52] (after doing chmod +x filename still) [05:53] rockets, sudo first?? [05:53] ok something kinda werid today. i dont use a windows machine for anything right...so today set up my first customer on this subscription based web pos system i wrote. they are using a windows laptop to run there pos on. everytime they enter anything into the web front end some other window opens. [05:53] rww, heh, but I'm talking about web servers here for "web 2.0 garbage", so i'm going to constantly crave new versions of ruby/rails/etc. [05:53] rockets: ah, yeah, that would be an issue with LTS [05:54] i have an executable text file, how do i get it so when i double click it it just runs instead of asking me would you like to run in term and such [05:54] its like every time they scan in a upc wham another empty window opens with search results related to the isbn or upc they just scanned...what the hell is that all about? [05:54] Can someone help me add a repository to ubuntu? [05:54] they have about 3 browser bars installed. "bing" being the primary from what i can tell. [05:55] what brand makes good ram? [05:55] plantman, what brands are you looking at [05:55] Kingston makes good ram [05:55] plantman: I generally go with kingston and hynix [05:55] megamanx1978: I should be able to [05:55] my screen is terribly small running ubuntu on virtualbox, is there a way to fix this [05:55] Hello all. If I install brasero with apt-get install brasero, the proper way to remove brasero and ALL the dependancies is also apt-get remove??? is this true? [05:56] okay [05:56] epona666: Install virtual box additional tools. [05:56] thanks [05:56] epaphus: autoremove [05:56] rww, do you work for read write web? [05:56] rockets: no [05:56] anyone has experience with 8gb flash drives formated as fat32 or ntfs? and how do i safely remove flash drive from ubuntu [05:56] rww damn. [05:56] I am having issues with adding the ultimate edition repo [05:56] nikola: Unmount the drive, then remove. [05:56] nikola: I have a 500Gig on NTFS and FAT32. Just unmount and remove. [05:56] Tomboy used to have little icons next to the notes list, where I could set certain notes as sticky. How can I get that back? [05:56] nikola right click on it and select eject [05:56] megamanx1978: Ultimate Edition isn't supported by this channel. [05:56] Well, goodnight everybody. I have to go write a paper from 1am to 7am because I'm an idiot. [05:57] lol [05:57] bye [05:57] I am using ubuntu [05:57] :D [05:57] don't stay up all night to write a paper. [05:57] i have an executable text file, how do i get it so when i double click it it just runs instead of asking me would you like to run in term and such [05:57] megamanx1978: what are you trying to do? [05:57] I just want to add that repo to get more software [05:57] johnjohn101 no choice. [05:57] megamanx1978, sudo add-apt-repository repo-addess OR go to System > Administration > Software Sources and add there [05:57] nikola: What Cairo suggests with "Eject" works as well. [05:58] megamanx1978 did you try actually reading the website? it's right here: http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate-edition-repository/ [05:58] it's what I use [05:58] ok, because i lost twice my data on usb stick today, with unmount and safely remove [05:58] also it is probably more "user friendly" [05:58] not a problem because i am testing it, but still [05:58] I already added the repo to software sources but I get a error [05:59] Sikth: there you go. now talk here :) [05:59] I did read it [05:59] nikola: Flash drives can be very unreliable. [05:59] Is uname -a different for a server install then a desktop???? [05:59] megamanx1978: what error? [05:59] Hi, I'm trying to learn scripting on ubuntu and have some questions, is there a good channel for that? [05:59] in my life with computers, Jordan_U , i only once till today lost data on usb stick [05:59] i'm having problems with graphics... popular websites (facebook, sourceforge, skype, etc.) are shown as text only, and its bothering me quite a bit. [05:59] Let me send a screen shot 1 sec [06:00] Guest52415: which web browser are you using? [06:00] firefox & Chromium [06:00] Jordan_U, nikola: I've only lost data from washing a flash drive in my laundry, and not unmounting before removing the drive. [06:01] lol [06:01] I've had USB sticks go through the laundry and still work ;D [06:01] ChogyDan, hmm.. thanks.. i wonder why if i do autoremove brasero it will remove even linux-headers . and if I do install it doesnt install it... [06:01] rww, same here :) [06:01] rww: It eventually worked... a few months later. [06:01] rww, stick i have now is certified to go into laundry and come out alive [06:02] How can I get the close/minimize/maximize buttons on the window decorations back to the top right corner? [06:02] epaphus: oh, autoremove will just remove anything that is autoremovable. It isn't that specific [06:02] !controls | Baribal [06:02] Baribal: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[06:03] ChogyDan, ohh ok! so if I give it an argument like apt-get autoremove brasero ... it will remove everything removable PLUS brasero and its dependancies right? [06:03] aroni125: Yes. [06:03] in regular browsers [06:03] if hibernate doesn't work on my mb, is there any hope of ever getting it working? [06:03] Guest52415, did you tried to install any other browser and try? [06:03] epaphus: yeah, pretty much. BTW, Im a new fan of debfoster for removing those dependencies [06:04] Jordan_U: The problem is probably the flash chip in the drive, not the operating systems. [06:04] i found the error in firefox, and installed chromium to test it, and both showed only text [06:04] ChogyDan, cool. thanks [06:04] aroni125: I know, I never thought otherwise :) [06:04] ls [06:04] marnanel: my hotmail id won't connect, the error after it tries connecting says "no specific reason" any ideas === eboyjr is now known as microsoft [06:04] Ok here is the screen shot [06:05] my hotmail id won't connect, the error after it tries connecting says "no specific reason" any ideas [06:05] hey can someone tell me if its possible to put virtualbox on server that is running with no gui?

I was just curious what should I do if I were in this position :P [06:20] Hi folks. Quick question. I'm thinking of upgrading my T42 (1024x768 display) to a T510 (HD+). I haven't used any wide screen laptop before, and I'm obviously super used to the larger text size. Someone has told me not to upgrade, as I'll think text is just too small, and someone else has told me to upgrade to the T510, but adjust settings in my OS to "increase text size across the board". Is that possible in Ubuntu? Can I run in HD+ resolution bu [06:20] needhelp1: have u tried k3b? it's much more stable than brasero [06:21] Sikth: indicator appelt add only battery not network icon [06:21] Krishnandu: :) [06:21] nits, Ofcourse !! [06:21] greenmang0, :P [06:21] Sikth: aroni125: coolsan: i can see an icon with 2up-and-down arrows -- going to restart system to ensure it remains. Albeit I can't say for sure which action brought it back to the life... [06:21] nits, i havent [06:22] needhelp1: try it out then it should be there in the ubuntu software center , super-stable for any kind of disc burning :) [06:22] vak: that should be the icon. [06:22] coolsan can you give me the output of this in a terminal "sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" [06:22] is it posible to install Ubuntu Server and desktop as Dual boot systems on a single PC [06:22] aroni125: installed pidgin with the 30 plugins pack [06:22] nits, Brasero fails many times..!! :P [06:23] nits, and you've much more options in k3b [06:23] Krishnandu: oh yes! have wasted too many discs with that, still don't get why it is the default burner for ubuntu though [06:23] isnt k3b for kde? [06:23] !offtopic [06:23] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:23] nits, It's default any for GNOME [06:24] needhelp1: yes it's meant for KDE but you can install it on GNOME as well [06:24] how well does pae work with ubuntu? I currently have 2gb and plan to upgrade to 6gb of ram in my desktop. I'm wondering if i should go for a pae kernel or try and get a 64bit kernel running with 32bit userland [06:24] needhelp1, k3b is an KDE app. But thr is nothing like that you can't use it in GNOME [06:24] Sikth: auto lo [06:24] Brasero uses the horrible cdrkit [06:24] Krishnandu: i didn't know that , lol [06:24] iface lo inet loopback [06:24] loltph: I can use MSN using Pidgin without the plugin pack. [06:25] nits, All GNOME comes with brasero and KDE with k3b, be it ubuntu, fedora, opensuse doesn't matter [06:25] Brasero is really great, but cdrkit is broken and the maintainers have no support from the community to fix problems that they have introduced since the illegal fork away from cdrtools [06:25] aroni125: i've installed the skype plugin [06:25] !pae [06:25] 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 [06:25] I am having troubles keeping my Linksys/Cisco WUSB54GC v3 [Ralink RT2870] to hold a connection. it randomly dies, and stays dead. any suggestions? [06:25] is there a webdav channel? i've setup webdav in ubuntu 10.10 and when accessing the folder through dreamweaver or cadaver, I cannot write, erase, or add to the folder. [06:25] Krishnandu: didn't know that yet, now I know something, woo hoo! gotta love irc :P [06:26] how do I set nginx to start automatically at bootup? [06:26] so, basically, you could install cdrtools and have working burn program from the commandline, except that cdrtools is refused to be packaged and included [06:26] nits, :) [06:26] lucent: You can use wodim. [06:26] I see based on some research about this, while we're stuck with cdrkit in Ubuntu things will remain broken [06:26] lucent, burning cd's from commandline was really a nice experience [06:26] Hello O [06:26] Hello all [06:27] Jordan_U: that's what I am talking about? wodim is part of cdrkit [06:27] lucent: ah.... cdrtools eh? cool will give it a shot next time i burn [06:27] hello ubuntu91human [06:27] Jordan_U, hrp2127, I encountered a big problem with 10.10 [06:27] lucent: ... it's included in a default Ubuntu install. [06:27] has any of this hit the idea torrent? [06:27] nits: It is on my list of activites to package up cdrtools stable release as a PPA [06:27] regarding cdrkit [06:28] lucent: sweet :D [06:28] Jordan_U : I cannot use some input methods in Ubuntu 10.10 [06:28] Jordan_U: lucent has previously expressed the incorrect views that 1) Ubuntu had anything to do with the switch from cdrtools to cdrkit, 2) that the switch was a bad thing. Probably best not to bother reasoning about it. [06:28] there's a quote from Mark Shuttleworth somewhere, he said about cdrtools that would be denied from entering Ubuntu end of story no discussion needed [06:28] well [06:28] !ot [06:28] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[06:30] We have got 10 input methods in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but we have got only 2 in Ubuntu 10.10 [06:30] ubuntu91human: is that good/bad ? [06:30] Chewing is a very important Chinese input method in iBUS preference [06:30] which is gone in Ubuntu 10.10 [06:31] I am having troubles keeping my Linksys/Cisco WUSB54GC v3 [Ralink RT2870] to hold a connection. it randomly dies, and stays dead. It also is very broad in the data transfer rates, it will be fine then go super slow. Any suggestions?

[06:33] coolsan try reinstalling it by "sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome network-manager" in a terminal [06:33] I can't believe 10.10 has so many stuff disappeared compare to 10.04 LTS [06:33] ubuntu91human: report a bug on launchpad.net [06:33] then restart your computer [06:33] lucent, can ya walk a noob thru settin that up? [06:33] IdleOne : launchpad.net? [06:33] ok [06:33] The packages appear to exist for chewing, they just aren't installed.

[06:35] "compat-wireless maverick" from Google is me pointing you in the right direction, lots of helpful tutorials how to do it I would be not much better in explaining it [06:36] loltph............ ahmmmmm [06:36] how can I set workspace names in Maverick? It used to be there but now it's gone, and google (ubuntuforums & www) doesn't provide any hints. [06:36] FriGiN: I have a ralink chipset here on my ALFA 1/2watt wifi adapter ;) so I noticed that it dropped wifi link with high number of network connections in the new wifi driver and compat-wireless driver works better for me [06:36] ubuntu91human: bit unstable but... [06:36] this bug is really big to many asian people [06:36] ibus-chewing and scim-chewing exist in the maverick repositories. [06:36] ectospasm: I don't know the UI way, it's accessible from gconf-editor [06:37] lucent: no, it's not. I've tried setting it there, and it does *nothing* [06:37] now I know how wonderful Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is. [06:37] I love 10.04 LTS [06:37] I'm still on 9.10 :/ [06:37] lucent: yes thats what its lookin like here.. im just new back to linux after a long long stretch away and my brain doesnt do what it used to do. Got old and dumb. [06:37] ubuntu91human, have bugs been filed against 10.10 for this? [06:37] Sikth, cool~ [06:37] lucent: the names are in gconf-editor [06:37] k3b worked [06:37] needhelp1: Sweet :) [06:37] ectospasm: maybe it's dconf now? anyhow, if you right click the workspace switcher applet from a panel, then preferences, you can click-to-edit the workspace names [06:38] Madpilot, I will file a bug report [06:38] Hello. DOes sun-java6-jre exist in the multiverse rep for maverick?? i added the rep in /etc/apt/sources.list and did apt*get upgrade... yet it says there is no installation candidate.. iam LOST [06:38] FriGiN: it's like trying to hop on a moving train ;) no worries [06:38] epaphus: it is in the Partner repo now [06:38] lucent: *what* workspace names? Only controls I have are columns and rows [06:38] oh. ectospasm which Ubuntu release/ [06:38] IdleOne, since when? [06:38] lucent: I already said Maverick [06:38] ectospasm: calm down it's going to be okay [06:39] epaphus: It does exist. [06:39] lucent: I've been digging at this for an hour [06:39] epaphus: since 10.04 I believe [06:39] epaphus: look in the partner repo [06:39] ...it's frustrating [06:39] lucent: when it used to be so simple. === wolf is now known as Guest81537 [06:39] I need to log off first, see you folks later [06:39] That could be why I have it. I have all repositories enabled. [06:41] hey guys I just ran a command ./vncinstall /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man and so it comes back and is telling me cannot stat filename no such file or directory any ideas? [06:41] IdleOne, thanks [06:41] hi, how do i run a command in the background and write all output to a text file? [06:41] guys one question, where do u look for the error logs in log file viewer? or any command to view the errors from the terminal itself? [06:42] epaphus: you could use the self extracting archive at www.java.com its a great way to get 654bit native java. You will need to manually upgrade it though [06:42] nits: typically /var/log ? [06:42] i have "python blank.py & > file.txt 2>&1" but that's not working [06:42] lucent: i just installed "2.6.35-22.12 (linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.35-22-generic-pae)" via ubuntu software center, is that about what i need to do? [06:42] coolsan youthere? [06:42] jimisrvrox: did you run the command with sudo? [06:42] boxbeatsy: nohup command& , the command will run in the background and output appended to nohup.out [06:42] boxbeatsy: ./command > textfile.txt 2>&1 & [06:42] ActionParsnip: no I guess that would be why chmod came on after there.. [06:42] that* [06:42] cool thanks! [06:43] boxbeatsy: the "2>&1" is in a strange place because of the way the shell works, it's just an oddity and needs to go on the right side of the redirection [06:43] lucent: something in particular i shld look wen i am looking for errors in /var/log [06:43] nope...ran in root and still didnt do anything for me [06:43] jimisrvrox: you are trying to write to /usr which (half-ironically) users do not have write access [06:43] ActionParsnip, yes [06:43] ActionParsnip: so ran as room and cp came back cannot stat and chmod came back cannot access [06:43] it sends 2 (stderr) to 1 (stdout) such that the '>' now is sending both stderr and stdout into stdout, which is redirected into the file. wow.

I ran through ./configure and make and they tell me thats the next step [06:44] cos I cant play anytin from the youtube [06:44] nft-mnt: what problem are you having? [06:44] ActionParsnip: Im having to install from tar bc I dont have a net connection on the linux box [06:44] Yes fierefo [06:44] fox [06:44] Hi gang. On a PC with 4 Gigs of RAM, if you install Windows 32-bit, it only addresses 3.2 Gigs of that RAM. If you install Ubuntu 32-bit on a 4-Gig machine, is there any similar limitation? [06:45] richardcavell: Yes. [06:45] richardcavell: 64-bit kernel then no, 32-bit kernel then yes and must install 32-bit PAE kernel [06:45] richardcavell: yes, if you don't use the PAE kernel [06:45] nft-mnt: can you give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf ,use http://pastie.org to give the output, thanks [06:45] !pae [06:45] 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 [06:45] ActionParsnip: great...so how the heck am I going to install vncserver w/o write permissions to /usr? [06:45] I cant see the videos from the web [06:45] richardcavell: It's something to do with the processor hardware. [06:45] ok [06:46] Ok i Try [06:46] So is the short version of this: If you have 4 Gigs of RAM, install 64-bit Ubuntu (and Windows for that matter) ? [06:46] jimisrvrox: you do know ubuntu default install comes with vino? [06:46] 4 Gigs isn't a lot of RAM by modern standards [06:46] Linux nftparlante 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 19:48:22 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [06:46] ActionParsnip: tried to access it..says its not installed..synaptic says it is.. [06:46] richardcavell: It's generally enough for general use. [06:46] jimisrvrox: you could use: sudo -i ,then run the command. [06:46] ActionParsnip: so then I decided ok i'll go get x11vnc [06:47] jimisrvrox: I suggest you find guides. It is installed, just not enabled by default [06:47] No LSB modules are available. [06:47] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [06:48] Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [06:48] Release: 10.04 [06:48] Codename: lucid [06:48] nft-mnt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:48] fail detected. [06:48] nft-mnt: ... what Floodbot said. [06:48] richardcavell: depends on your needs. If you only chat and web browse, 4Gb is far more than you'll ever need [06:48] Whats up guys? [06:48] richardcavell: for a simple fileserver you will need about 256mb [06:48] ActionParsnip: heh wonderful! ok well when I do sudo -i I get ./vncinstall no directory...which is BS [06:48] Okay [06:49] i'm hi and bored [06:49] Well there isn't a down side in running 64-bit Ubuntu on non-exotic hardware, is there? [06:49] jimisrvrox: no, when you ran:sudo -i ,you changed directory to /root ,its not BS in anyway shape or form [06:49] ActionParsnip: rather command not found..the vncinstall is an install script of course...so idk [06:49] lucent, be polite. pastefloods happen. [06:49] jimisrvrox: run: pwd; ls ,you'll see [06:50] ActionParsnip: Im saying....what it came back with command not found is BS to me [06:50] this is the most actve channel on freenode [06:50] richardcavell: some 3rdparties only support 32bit [06:50] jimisrvrox: yes because your pwd changed, so the file isn't there [06:50] Im wondering if someone can tell me how to mark files as executable? Im trying to install convertxtodvd in WINE and when I click the setup.exe Im told that its not marked as executable, but doesnt give me an option to do so. Any Help? [06:50] Well I'm talking Intel i3, nvidia graphics card, plain hardware [06:50] ActionParsnip: they say in the readme that after the program builds you should copy it to your PATH environment variable... [06:51] pwd didnt change [06:51] malachai: chmod +x setup.exe [06:51] malachai: you stole my nick [06:51] malachai: right click the thing, go to properties [06:51] yesterday after kernel upgrade, ubuntu desktop session freezes with gnome-do and window requiring password at the background [06:51] malachai: should be a tab for file permissions. [06:51] Bueno no veo mucha ayuda [06:51] jimisrvrox: so if you run: ls ,you see the file? [06:51] gracias de todas formas [06:51] can somebody help me [06:52] now I'm in safe mode [06:52] im trying to download a tar.gz file [06:52] Ill be damned. [06:52] john38: what is the file for? [06:52] but the only thing in the archive is libflahs.so file [06:52] Whod have thunk that...lol [06:52] Thanks man. [06:52] malachai is grouped to me...so how can htere be more than 1...thought freenode didnt do that [06:52] yup [06:52] nft-mnt: still waiting on that pastebin dude [06:52] sorry man i just typed my name in [06:53] ActionParsnip, libflashplayer.so file [06:53] john38: the file gets put in the plugin directory of your browser. [06:53] can someone tell me how to save display settings in ubuntu 10.10? the config file is blank. [06:53] malachai: i'm just curios why its working...i never use that nick anyway [06:53] aroni125, how do i do that [06:53] john38: copy the file to your browsers plugin directory if you are installing flash, or you can simply install the package: flashplugin-nonfree ,and you will get flash === user_ is now known as TermanaN900 [06:54] john38: what browser and version are you using? === diego is now known as Guest73489 [06:54] what would be the best email client for using a pop3 account? [06:54] aroni125, firefox ubuntu 10.10 maverick\ [06:54] jimisrvrox: then try using tab to complete the filename, you could also try chowning the file to root [06:54] john38: firefox version [06:54] lucent: am i literally typing "./scripts/driver-select [06:54] " cuz sounds fishy... [06:54] where are the girls that want Ubuntu? [06:54] alexlea: because you don't have nickserv enforcement turned on, so it doesn't force people using the nick to stop [06:54] What packages (if any) should be installed (Ubuntu 10.10) to compile c++ source files? [06:54] jejeje.. [06:55] Guest73489: This isn't a dating channel; I recommend you stop thinking it is. [06:55] ubottu: tell Guest73489 about guidelines [06:55] Guest73489, please see my private message [06:55] sukata: build-essential [06:55] and does evolution email support pop3? [06:55] Thank you [06:55] sukata: I am running c languiage programs withut having to install anything additionally [06:55] sukata: i just use g++ [06:55] aroni125, 3.6.10 [06:55] FriGiN: huh? oh it should be far simpler than that [06:55] hasek79: it supports pop3 afaik [06:55] sukata: apt-get install g++ [06:55] an email program that doesn't support pop3 would be really weird [06:55] whats afaik? [06:55] mal10c: build essential gives nice header files too [06:56] hasek79: as far as I know [06:56] oh [06:56] ActionParsnip: true [06:56] A few minutes ago gnome went crazy on me. All the text turned into jumbled characters. Like when you cat a file with a strange symbol and your terminal get screwed up. Anyone have any idea what this could be about? [06:56] rww yes, i do have it on...which is why i am confused [06:56] cicatrix1: there are some that only support local mbox/maildir, which makes perfect sense :) [06:56] rww: thanks, takes me days to type on this thing [06:56] well I'll find help in other place [06:56] meh technicallity [06:56] lol [06:56] lucent: i ended up using ubuntu software center to get 2.6.35-22.12 (linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.35-22-generic-pae) but afaik it didnt do much of anything but dl it.. i didnt dc or rc as the helps say i should [06:56] What is the command to change nickserv password === alexlea is now known as al3xl34 [06:57] ?? [06:57] aroni125, ?? [06:57] /] [06:57] FriGiN: oh, did you need PAE? [06:57] then what do i need to do to set it up b/c i have the account type set to pop and thats my only option so i didnt know if that was right or not b/c it doesnt work [06:57] Ку!!! [06:57] al3xl34: indeed. try asking #freenode o.O [06:57] john38: try putting it in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.10/plugins. if that does not exist, try putting it in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins. [06:57] man i dont even know what PAE is, it was that or the x64/i386 version. [06:57] earthshade: ask in #freenode for password support [06:58] there is no pop3 option in evo mail [06:58] !pae [06:58] 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 [06:58] FriGiN: the modules should match 'uname -r' output, is all. If it says PAE in your uname output, then you need PAE, I *think* [06:58] FriGiN: something addressextension.it allows 32bit to access up to 12gb ram using software [06:58] FriGiN: PAE is for folks with 4+GB ram to say it simply [06:58] FriGiN: PAE is "Physical Address Extension" [06:59] :@ [06:59] well im @ 8GB [06:59] however my kernel is 2.6.35-22-generic [06:59] hasek79: it's usually an option when creating a new account. You can almost never flip from IMAP to pop3 on an existing accoung [06:59] account* === al3xl34 is now known as alexlea [07:00] FriGiN: that's fine. The 64bit one is also generic. You can see your arch with; uname -m ,i686 == 32bit. X86_64 == 64bit [07:01] FriGiN: if you have no use for suspend and hibernate, you can use no swap if you like. You have tonnes of ram for a desktop OS [07:01] aroni125, how do i copy paste to usr/lib/firefox [07:01] what is imap? then is there another option i should try b/c my email is from my isp? [07:01] ActionParsnip: i installed i686 cuz when i did a test run on my laptop i had some serious troubles with a couple programs i use regularly not supporting x64 [07:01] Nice. Got it working so far. Thanks for the obvious explanation lucent. [07:01] john38: you may have to run nautilus as root to do it. [07:02] john38: if you run: mkdir $HOME/.mozilla/plugins ,and put the .so file in there. It will work [07:02] lucent: so if i used the ubuntu software center to get that driver.. am i good or do i need to do something to tell the system to use that driver instead of the default one? [07:03] FriGiN: yeah its a shame , you can run 32bit apps on 64bit OS but satisfying libs can get messy [07:03] FriGiN: good question, after installation of the package you will need to reboot, but that may not be enough [07:03] aroni125, its in my Downloads folder [07:03] .сдщыу [07:03] hasek79: imap is another way to access your emails. This way your emails remain on the server and you have a synced mail folder across many mail clients. [07:03] ActionParsnip, john38: The only down side to that is that it's only available to the local user then, but if you're the only one who uses it, then it would have the same effect. [07:03] aroni125, what do i type in terminal [07:04] aroni125, im the only user [07:04] FriGiN: I remember all I had to do was reboot and the compat-wireless versions of the modules were then being used [07:04] aroni125: most systems have the one user but I guess its safer not to assume [07:04] can anyone recommend a tool for monitoring network traffic, ideally a tray application [07:04] I want to calculate the bits of my modem [07:04] john38: if you will only ever be the only user, my way is fine [07:04] denysonique: system monitor in gnome panel applets list? [07:04] should i try imap then? b/c the incoming is still pop3.______.com [07:04] denysonique: ntop [07:04] john38: to copy the file, or to open nautilus to do a copy and paste? [07:04] <_pg_> I have a mactel ubuntu, to turn my red light coming out of my headphone jack I need to run "amixer set IEC958 off" how can I make it so that I dont need to run that each time I reboot my computer? [07:04] lucent, won't the system monitor reset after log out? [07:05] hasek79: confirm if your isp provides imap service. If it does secure imap (imaps) is the one you should go with. But sorry what was your actual question? [07:05] aroni125, copy and paste from Downloads to /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.10/plugins [07:05] denysonique: "reset" well what are you trying to do that requires persistence? [07:05] * obs3rv3r agrees with lucent. [07:05] lucent, make sure that I have bytes left to use [07:05] oh, metering [07:05] john38: sudo nautilus& [07:05] to prevent my self from running out of bits [07:05] denysonique: that is you just want to keep an eye on the bandwidth utilized ? [07:05] denysonique: I'm not sure about metering apps [07:06] _pg_: make a simple bash script, then add it to your startup items [07:06] obs3rv3r, yes, in the tray [07:06] aroni125: no, not sudo for nautilus [07:06] aroni125: gksudo nautilus [07:06] is there a equivelant in ubuntu, to this windows command dir /a/s *.mp3 i want unbuntu to look recursively in all my folders, i'm trying to find all my mp3's and pipe the output to a file.txt [07:06] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, that seems like overkill/ i dont know how [07:06] denysonique: well I am not sure if you prefer it but I use conky for that thing. [07:06] ActionParsnip: pro-tip 'gksudo -- nautilus --browser' [07:06] denysonique: it gives me a overview in my desktop. makes life easier. [07:06] otherwise it zombifies afterward [07:06] obs3rv3r, does conky via what app? to measure? [07:07] s/does// [07:07] _pg_: hardly, you need a command to run it. Your script is a 2 line text file [07:07] i cant get my email to come in and i think its b/c i dont know what option to choose. my incoming mail is pop3 and there is no option for that. the closest to it is just pop and that dont work [07:07] denysonique: conky itself is an app...it utilizes profiles for the purpose. There are 100s of them lying around the internet. [07:07] _pg_: first line. #!/bin/bash [07:07] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, but i mean, isnt there a way to disable it for good? like changing the default rather than just fixing it each time? [07:07] obs3rv3r, what does conkey use to meter? [07:07] _pg_: 2nd line is your command [07:08] obs3rv3r, something built in? [07:08] hasek79: does your email client say that your pop3 is connected well ? [07:08] _pg_: you have a known way to fix it, why waste effort when you already have a fix [07:08] If I want to tell it to open a program with 7zip but its not on the list so I have to look for it. Where would I browse to? [07:08] i mean in windows i could be in my music folder, and do a dir /a/s >file.txt "is thre a equivelant to that using the ls command" [07:08] yes we have it working on the other computers but i cant get it to work on ubuntu [07:09] lucent: i'm totally horked. im getting device descripptor read/64, error -71 system does not boot [07:09] hasek79: What client are you using? thunderbird ? [07:09] d [07:09] john38: you can also type gksudo nautilus to get into a root file manager, as Action Parsnip pointed out to me. [07:09] evolution mail [07:09] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, what do I save this as? [07:09] _pg_: save the file as whatever you like in your home, right click the file and mark it as executable. Then just call it in your startup items. Problem solved [07:09] aroni125, ok its copied [07:09] is Thunderbird better? [07:09] hasek79: I am a fan of thunderbird. Not used to with evolution. [07:10] _pg_: you don't have to put any special file extension on, those mean very little in linux [07:10] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, if I need to add more hacks in the future, can I use the same file? [07:10] aroni125, i been having this problem going into full screen on a live video feed on my TV [07:10] FriGiN: how'd you do that? [07:10] hasek79: telnet pop3.__.com 110 , user $username, pass $pass, list [07:10] _pg_: absolutely [07:10] this is my first time with evo mail [07:10] hasek79: follow thru those comands [07:10] aroni125, its a little off doesnt take up whole screen [07:10] is it necessary that we have to have all the updates of ubuntu in our system [07:10] denysonique: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMonitorInternetTrafficTotals [07:10] hasek79: depends on needs. Neither is better, nor worse [07:10] X_Tech__: security updates: yes. normal updates: not really. [07:10] I have a computer malfunction, brb [07:11] ActionParsnip: But for some reason I find Thunderbird easy for newcomers. [07:11] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, swwet il test it out [07:11] im trying to keep my log files clean. my dhcp server and dns server sent a lot of junk to my syslog. im trying to understand how to configure syslog.conf to have messages from them router to a different file, but cannot figure out how [07:11] put that in the terminal??? [07:11] lucent: nfc... i restarted to restart the wireless like i always do.. now im sitting at a boot screen saying sorry bub you sck. [07:11] hello guys can any body here who can help me download and install yahoo messenger coz im a newbie in linux [07:11] ActionParsnip, i been having this problem going into full screen on a live video feed on my TV [07:11] My computer is running really slow after all updates....how shallI roll it back [07:11] hasek79: Yes one after another .... those separated by comma. [07:11] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, i doth prtested too much. that was stupid easy [07:11] ok [07:11] hi.. can anyone help me get my wireless working on ubuntu netbook [07:11] FriGiN: privmsg, maybe we can sort it out [07:11] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, thanks for that [07:11] I'm trying to revert back to Vista after trying Ubuntu 10.10, Vista doesn't load and tells me I have to use boot manager, don't have disk requested (used computer), what do I do to get back to Vista? [07:11] ActionParsnip, its a little off doesnt take up whole screen === {bosco} is now known as Guest80148 [07:12] denysonique: searching a profile for you. [07:12] obs3rv3r: sure but if a user needs a feature in evolution which isn't in thunderbird then choosing thunderbird for its ease is a bad choice :) [07:12] obs3rv3r, you don't need to [07:12] I don't want conky, I want to see it in the tray [07:12] Taz1, get into the live cd for ubuntu and fix your mbr [07:12] how do I set nginx to start automatically at bootup? [07:12] Taz1: microsoft support should be able to help you, not joking [07:12] obs3rv3r, thanks btw [07:12] john38: what doesn't? You haven't given any context [07:12] or any service for that matter [07:12] hi.. can anyone help me get my wireless working on ubuntu netbook. [07:12] denysonique: Fine. np. [07:12] hi, i'm trying to write standard output from a python script to a text file, but it's not working [07:13] ActionParsnip: True. [07:13] the command imtrying is "python blank.py > file.txt 2>&1 &" [07:13] nico_: run: sudo lshw -C network ,websearch for the product line of the wireless to find guides [07:13] but it'ts not writing anything to the text file [07:13] boxbeatsy: try python -u instead of just python [07:13] Whats a good nfo reader for maverick? [07:13] sorry, the live cd for ubuntu? How do I access that? [07:13] @nico just logon to ubuntu and switch on your wireless radio switch [07:14] it says the firmware is missing [07:14] _pg_: scripts are very powerful,you can make your own and do lots of things in one command, you can even ask for input from users and perform logic [07:14] rww: hey that worked! what does that do? [07:14] nico_: ok run: dmesg | grep -i firm ,do you get told a filename is missing (the firmware) [07:14] malachai: I believe they're text files, so a text editor like gedit should work. [07:14] how to rollback in ubuntu [07:15] boxbeatsy: by default, python waits until it has a bunch of output queued up before outputting it, for performance reasons. -u stops that. see the manpage for more details [07:15] X_Tech__: rollback what? [07:15] boxbeatsy: I know this because I had the exact same problem and asked #python ;) [07:15] Yeah I found it thanks. [07:15] I want to roll back to earlier [07:15] thanks guys! [07:15] Hi guys, please tell me how can go back to the home folder using terminal, I am in the Desktop now after cd Desktop [07:15] ibrahim-kasem: cd ~ [07:15] cd ~ or cd. [07:16] rww: thnx. [07:16] cd [07:16] ibrahim-kasem: or in general, cd .. to go to the "next directory up" [07:16] i always forget that cd by itself does that :S [07:16] X_Tech__: then you'll need the debs from earlier. This sort of thing will most likely mess your OS up [07:16] ibrahim-kasem: just: cd ,on its own will take you to $HOME [07:17] rww: Thnx again, did not expect it to be just like Dos. [07:17] ActionParsnip, when i enable twin view on my tv i go to full screen on tv video doesnt take up full screen [07:17] ibrahim-kasem: it is but more powerful, its more on a par with powershell [07:17] how do I troubleshoot this, my ubuntu is unable to connect to the wireless networks [07:17] ActionParsnip, a little more than half [07:17] although from windows I am able to do it [07:17] ? [07:17] I run lucid lynx [07:17] john38: I have no idea, try asking the channel insteadof targetting just me [07:18] john38: probably because of resolution. [07:18] ActionParsnip: This can be useful later thank you. [07:18] blahsphemer: what windows does is of no conseuence here [07:18] john38: try setting them to clones on twinview, and change the resolution to the one the TV supports. [07:18] Can anybody help me i cant get full screen on live video feed [07:18] blahsphemer: do u use a broadcom wireless driver? [07:18] Hey guys how to upgrade using Maverick Alternate CD?? [07:18] obs3rv3r, i got nvidia [07:19] blahsphemer: ifyou run: sudo lshw -C network ,you can see the wireless chip and can websearch for guides [07:19] rww: cool, thanks! [07:19] I mean just booting from it?? Or any command from Lucid??? [07:19] john38: Yes. system>administration?nvidia x server settings [07:19] its there. [07:19] i wish it was more like dos, i could do a dir /a/s *.mp3 >file.txt I can't figure this out "how can i get ubuntu 10.10 to look in my /music/ dir and look recursively for all .mp3 and PIPE IT out to a file.txt, can anyone please help, i'd go back to windows to do it, but i'm so happy with linux that i deleted windows, oops [07:19] obs3rv3r, theres no option for clones in display settings [07:19] to be fair, "cd" as change directory existed in unix a fair while before most flavours of dos existed [07:19] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, the script runs when i click it but not as a startup item. any ideas? [07:19] Krishnandu: mount the CD. You will find an upgrade script on the root.if you check the upgrade documentation,it tells you the name [07:19] john38: see under position. [07:20] nits, • Intel Wireless-N Card [07:20] _pg_: add it in your startup items [07:20] ActionParsnip, Okies :) [07:20] obs3rv3r, only Disable, X separate, Twin view [07:20] Eighteens: find Music/ -name *.mp3 > file.txt [07:20] Eighteens: find /path/to/folder/*.mp3>>file [07:20] ahh thanks rww [07:20] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, I did, [07:20] john38: thats the configuration...select twinview and dropdown on position. [07:20] and nits, thank you [07:20] _pg_: ok then reboot to test [07:20] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, I did. no joy [07:20] Eighteens: np :) [07:21] obs3rv3r, select clone from position dropdown [07:21] _pg_: ok do you use gnome, kde or xfce? [07:21] john38: Yes! [07:21] rww: Did I forget doing something? http://paste.ubuntu.com/517240/ because I am still in the same Dir Desktop. [07:21] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, under "command" it points to my exec text file. and I use gnome [07:21] obs3rv3r, what resolution should i set it to i got the old CRT TV [07:21] blahsphemer: oh i had a prob with a broadcom once, fixed it by installing a package called bcmwl-kernel or something like that, try ndiswrapper? [07:21] ibrahim-kasem: there needs to be " " space between cd and .. or ~ [07:21] ibrahim-kasem: cd .., not cd.. [07:22] nits: oh ok. [07:22] blahsphemer: others here might prove to be more useful though.. :P [07:22] john38: whats the size ? 17"? [07:22] blahsphemer: me newbie :P [07:22] _pg_: ok you may need a sleep on the second line: sleep 10 ,should do it. Makes the script wait then run the command [07:22] obs3rv3r, 27" [07:22] Running Ubuntu 10.04: How would I apt-get the latest version of Syslinux ? [07:22] ..or get the .deb for the latest syslinux ?

[07:24] You could find the source and compile it, if you want the very latest. [07:24] ActionParsnip, sorry .. latest is 4.02 ... typo from the wrong document [07:24] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, sleep 10 made it not work at all [07:24] Krishnandu: yeah ifi ts lucid to maverick and similarit can happen. I personally always clean install [07:25] _pg_: hmm strange [07:25] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, i was supposed to add that before the command right? [07:25] Anyone know if there's a recent development on nvidia-96 drivers and 10.10? [07:25] Bossmanbeta: the link gives a search which may yield a ppa you can add for a newer version [07:25] Good morning. I have an Ubuntu installed with wubi on Windows Xp partitions for weeks. Today when I tried to boot, I do not get a boot menu but instead a grub console (grub>). Could someone help me? [07:26] ActionParsnip, yes, seems 3.82 is the only one offered in ppa [07:26] (2009) [07:26] Froodle: you can see the build date of the packages and such on packages.ubuntu.com [07:26] ActionParsnip, well..in that case I need to install everything again... :( [07:26] Bossmanbeta: be warned that there was a hacked-up syslinux distributed with Lucid 10.04 LTS === jimisrvrox_ is now known as jimisrvrox [07:27] Bossmanbeta: then you will need to websearch or compile yourself. What's so new in the later version? [07:27] lucent, I heard of that..........

I get errros when booting into parted magic when I use Unetbootin to create the USB stick ...

Ubuntu has old repositories for syslinux" [07:28] Bossmanbeta: making a USB bootable Lucid Live ISO is possible using the Startup Disk Creator from System>Administration menu on a Lucid 10.04 LTS Live system... if that helps any [07:28] ActionParsnip, yes. [07:28] Bossmanbeta: chicken-and-egg [07:28] Bossmanbeta: I've heard of parted and partition magic, but not parted magic [07:28] how can i get lucid's unr in mavericK ? [07:28] ActionParsnip: It's a linux distro for a partition manager. [07:28] ActionParsnip, http://partedmagic.com/ [07:28] murlidhar: as I've already told you, you can't. [07:28] Bossmanbeta: pendrivelinux has an iso to usb maker [07:29] it wraps gparted, ghost 4 linux, clonezilla, SuperGrubDisk, etc into 1 [07:29] rww: must be some kinda legacy packages maybe ? [07:29] ActionParsnip, I thought that was Windows only ... (the DL link seems to be an .exe) [07:29] Bossmanbeta: why not just use parted on the livecd ubuntu system? [07:29] see you [07:29] murlidhar: nope. It was deleted from Maverick's repositories completely. [07:29] ActionParsnip, this is for my admins to clone Winblows boxes.... my Admins don't understand *nix [07:30] Bossmanbeta: It should work in linux if you have WINE... [07:30] rww: so you mean they killed it completely ? jeez. [07:30] Bossmanbeta: if they are cloning then use partimage [07:30] aroni125, bah I should be able to get the latest syslinux :) [07:30] murlidhar: yes [07:30] ActionParsnip, I already got Clonezilla ISO to go to the USB stick.............. I was trying for Parted Magic [07:30] Bossmanbeta: all you need then is the live ubuntu session with partimage installed and a cd or usb device with the image stored on it [07:31] rww: i really hate the panel on the right side [07:31] I see, your call [07:31] i mean left side [07:31] :p [07:31] murlidhar: change the theme, it'll shift back to the right - the min, max and close buttons for the window if that's what u mean [07:32] !controls | murlidhar [07:32] murlidhar: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [07:32] ActionParsnip, I was trying to use this distro.. of course I could use full blown ubuntu live-cd ... but I wanted to use this [07:32] nits: you're talking about something completely different ;P [07:32] Bossmanbeta: makes sense, leaner and meaner [07:32] hmmm i then wont upgrade to maverick for my lappy. [07:32] rww: lol sorry, gonna keep my mouth shut for a while then :P [07:32] ActionParsnip, yea the iso is 135megs................. [07:32] I think this hdd is going out...keeps giving me I/O read errors at block 0 [07:33] murlidhar: 10.04's supported for three years, thankfully. hopefully something better will be out by then :) [07:33] nits: its just a gconf setting [07:33] jimisrvrox: might be driver issue, have you changed software recently? [07:33] <_pg_> ActionParsnip, any other ideas to get that script to run at startup? [07:33] lucent: no not that im aware of [07:33] ActionParsnip, wow I have to do this on windows then to create this USB stick......... wow [07:33] ActionParsnip: ah.... i prefer it on the left though, something different :P [07:33] lucent: I just dont want to wait for the fsck [07:33] ..how insulting. [07:33] rww: hopefully. i really am not comfortable with the new UI for netbooks that i got with the maverick live cd. [07:34] Bossmanbeta: sounds like puppy ;) xpud is smaller than that too, but has few apps and few drivers. But boots in 3 seconds here [07:34] jimisrvrox: I would try on a totally different computer system if you're very worried, I had a firewire drive that got hosed because of firewire driver changes in the kernel shipped to Maverick install [07:34] * obs3rv3r is happy with lucid :P least for now LTS is always good ! :D yet to try maverick! [07:34] _pg_: that's all I got kid, i'd ask in #bash to check syntax [07:34] lucent: reason fsck is running is bc it says that the FS has errors...so it forced a check..which im like I really dont give a crap beacuse all I wanna do is make a new partition...and I cant do that if / is mounted and im in the gui [07:34] ActionParsnip, hey I should be able to get a deb of the latest syslinux ... bah humbug [07:34] _pg_: pastebin ? I would like to see what you are working on. [07:35] Bossmanbeta: You can always use grub instead. [07:35] ah, grub is nice [07:36] jimisrvrox: it sounds like you're doing it wrong, over 9000, and preparing for epic fail. Please, boot a livecd to do this kind of work on your data. [07:36] Jordan_U, after dd'ing the iso to the USB key, how would I place grub on the usb key? [07:36] lucent: are you good with installing stuff from tar? Im tryin to get Xvnc running...and I was talking to ActionParsnip and so basically i was trying to run an install script and because of limited permissions I couldnt write to the /usr directory... [07:36] over 9000? [07:36] <_pg_> obs3rv3r, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/JjduXzGc just trying to get this silly command to run at startup [07:36] hi all. i am using compiz. how can i make the menu bar fully opaque (it seems to be semi-transparent per as default settting)? [07:36] you must fix harddrive errors before you partition [07:36] jimisrvrox: gnome should include 'vino' which can function as VNC server, why Xvnc though? [07:36] _pg_: tried rc.local ? [07:37] <_pg_> obs3rv3r, it makes the red light turn off the eminates from inside my headphone jack on my mac. I dont know what rc local means [07:37] Bossmanbeta: You wouldn't dd it to the USB drive, unless it already is designed to do that. [07:37] lucent: only because I couldnt do x11vnc like I wanted [07:37] Jordan_U, yes it is (the ISO that is) -- but I would need to make it bootable after. [07:37] Bossmanbeta: I'm compiling the latest version now. [07:37] _pg_: /etc/rc.local . chmod a+x $filename and add the path to the filename to /etc/rc.local and reboot. [07:37] Jordan_U, usually syslinux will do that, but my version is rather old on 10.04 [07:38] <_pg_> obs3rv3r, what is rclocal [07:38] hi , I am a newcomer [07:38] Bossmanbeta: If it's designed to be dd'd to a flash drive, then just the act of dd'ing it will make it bootable. [07:38] aroni125, I'm not comfortable compiling ... but good for you :) [07:38] lucent: sent you a PM [07:38] * lucent facepalms quickly [07:38] Bossmanbeta: I don't think dding a ISO onto a jumpdrive will work... It'll mount, but I don't think the bios will like it. [07:38] <_pg_> obs3rv3r, the script is executable. it works when i run it terminal but wont run as a startup item [07:38] I have a q,who answer to me ? [07:38] Jordan_U, well that didn't happen Jordan_U -- so perhaps DD'ing is wrong.. assume I extracted the ISO contents to a USB key .. how would I place grub on the USB key to make it bootable? [07:38] Bossmanbeta: Parted Magic can be booted from an iso file on a filesystem using grub2's loopback feature. [07:39] _pg_: Does the script need something , a driver or some module be loaded before it could work ? [07:39] !ask [07:39] 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. :-) [07:39] If so you can keep it in your home directory's .bashrc file [07:39] <_pg_> obs3rv3r, i dont know. i doubt it. it just turns the spdif off for sound so the red light goes away [07:39] Jordan_U, I'm not familiar with configuring/placing grub on a USB key though, any howto's ? [07:39] <_pg_> spdif/IEC958. has to do with toslink audo or something [07:39] _pg_: There is a .bashrc file in your home directory try adding the command there. [07:40] soemone should develop a time machine feature for linux [07:40] I use ubunte live cd,I need it's root password,but I dont know it , Help me [07:40] peyman:try root or toor [07:40] <_pg_> obs3rv3r, i dont see it [07:40] _pg_: Yes I got that. Thats the digital audio over fiber you get in the 3.5mm audio jack in a mbp [07:40] I burnt a game onto disk in Windows before switching to Linux. It worked in Windows, but when I try to set the permissions in WINE. It wont let me because it is read-only. Is there any way to change that? Or do I need to reburn and set the permissions beforehand to read-write only? [07:40] i want to mount hdd partition, but it needs root passw [07:40] PEYMAN:IF THAT FAILS look it up on google root and toor are standard pass [07:41] <_pg_> obs3rv3r, i dont see this template bash file in my home dir [07:41] _pg_: Strange. [07:41] _pg_: add /path/to/that/file in /etc/rc.local [07:41] <_pg_> obs3rv3r, is it hidden or something? [07:41] _pg_: Yes its hidden/ [07:41] ctrl+H on your nautilus [07:42] http://vimeo.com/11336583 [07:42] _pg_>it should be a .bashrc or something. check your hidden files most configs are hidden [07:42] _pg_: But I would still recommend you add it to /etc/rc.local first and try a reboot. [07:42] <_pg_> would it be better in rc.local or in .bashrc? [07:42] hows gnome shell treating everyone [07:43] I burnt a game onto disk in Windows before switching to Linux. It worked in Windows, but when I try to set the permissions in WINE. It wont let me because it is read-only. Is there any way to change that? Or do I need to reburn and set the permissions beforehand to read-write only? [07:43] steevo: Pretty good. [07:43] _pg_: Would recommend rc.local . keeping it on .bashrc will run it everytime you open up a terminal . Its just to debug atm.

[07:44] Gnome is the default for Ubuntu and is a well-rounded, all-purpose interface. [07:44] In short: It works, and that's why Ubuntu uses it. [07:44] ubuntu doesn't set the root password for the users safety, u set in a terminal sudo passwd i think [07:44] tiox, he's talking about GNOME Shell, not just GNOME [07:44] Oi.

[07:47] <_pg_> sudo vim command not found [07:47] its a SMARTboard from www.smarttech.com [07:47] _pg_: sudo apt-get install vim first ....

[07:50] the_german: now you do :) [07:51] <_pg_> how do i save and then exit this file from within terminal? [07:51] hello guys, when i "top", i see java is taking 90% of CPU, what can i do to figure out which application is it? [07:51] obs3rv3r: vim is for those who want to use the arrow keys ;-) [07:51] Never mind, i found linux software for the smartboard at their webpage. [07:51] thanks anyway [07:51] _pg_: write what you want and type and hit esc, :x and enter . [07:51] clu3: Open System Monitor if you're using Ubuntu. [07:51] depending on your memory you can install programs even with the live cd and they will disappear when you reboot [07:51] the_german: we are happy with hjkl you mean ? :D [07:51] Then seek the process taking your CPU up. [07:51] <_pg_> escape, x and enter? in that order? [07:51] _pg_: yes colon x ":x" [07:52] <_pg_> it just typed :x [07:52] _pg_: if fails try with nano, will be easier on you. [07:52] PEYMAN: Install to a USB drive. That's what I did., [07:52] <_pg_> and now it says help disabled [07:52] clu3: if you press 'c' in top, it will show the command line of the process rather than just the image name [07:52] * _pg_ cries and bangs head into desk [07:52] obs3rv3r: of course we are.

[07:53] still cannot figureout which APPLICATION it is [07:53] _pg_: dont forget to say yes though :) [07:53] quiescens path is correct [07:54] <_pg_> file name r.locales? [07:54] PEYMAN: You need to modify the ISO file and re-burn to CD, or re-mount to USB if you are using a live USB with no persistience. [07:54] suigeneris: i'm just saying, there isn't enough information to make a reasonable guess, is the script not being run, or is it running but doing something wrong? [07:54] _pg_: its /etc/rc.local [07:54] Sorry. [07:54] <_pg_> obs3rv3r, why is ubuntu wanting me to name it locales? [07:54] you can install small files even using a livecd. u can use then in your live session only after the install.check file permissions first, opnen the .tar and check out the readme for install instructions [07:55] _pg_: Wanna give us your vim log? :P [07:55] nvm, it's the stupid firefox, i just killed it, thanks anyway guys [07:55] Haha, clu3, that happens. [07:55] quiescens not running at all [07:55] _pg_: you sure you did sudo nano /etc/rc.local ? [07:55] firefox performs really badly on ubuntu :( [07:55] How can i find a total list of what i have installed in Ubuntu (like the add remove programs in windows), so i can remove programs i dont use [07:55] dpkg --list :P [07:55] <_pg_> no way. vim is scary as hell. the new rc.local does what i need when i run it in terminal, will that script run at boot? [07:55] quiescens I don't see anything in /var/log/messages [07:55] So wait, steevo, he can install the new Firefox on his live CD as it is being used with it persisting? [07:55] _pg_: you bet it will. [07:56] suigeneris: why would it show up in /var/log/messages [07:56] <_pg_> baller i shall try it now [07:56] Or did I hear him wrong? [07:56] <_pg_> thanks for the patience and help gents [07:56] quiescens wouldn't it? [07:56] _pg_: another reboot! :D [07:56] <_pg_> brb [07:56] clu3: true fact. You can make the "smart bar" faster by vacuum'ing the sqlite db, search a howto on that if interested [07:56] <_pg_> i know lol [07:56] Please answer me if you know, it should be a basic question [07:56] fep: dpkg --list [07:56] he can install programs in his session, use them in session and have them disappear after the ram is erase after reboot [07:56] obs3rv3r: ok, thanks :) is there any graphical version of it? [07:56] fep: or go to software centre [07:56] suigeneris: not unless you're doing something that would make something show up? [07:57] obs3rv3r: the package manager? [07:57] Also, he's gone. Impatient twats peev me. :P [07:57] fep: yes. [07:57] obs3rv3r: thank you very much [07:57] Patience is what makes Linux what it is. :P [07:57] ...unpopular? [07:57] That too. [07:58] A real big problem I know aboout is, trying to explain Linux. [07:58] quiescens I thought cron output to /var/log/messages? [07:58] lucent, what has firefox got to do with sqlite? [07:58] Hey can anyone help me with MB and MiB?? [07:58] clu3: yes. [07:58] interesting [07:58] clu3: Firefox uses sqlite for history/settings/bookmarks [07:58] I know MiB is Mebibyte, but what's the diff with MB?? [07:59] tiox: on the explaining part...i would say that is why it is linux :D [07:59] Hello. I have a weird problem, when i start gparted it crashes after just 2-3 seconds. tried reinstall, no help. [07:59] Krishnandu: officially 'MB' used to be powers of two, now it is powers of ten [07:59] aubrey616: try it from a comman dline ? [07:59] Krishnandu: marketing on storage devices "300MB" means 300 * 10^6 I think bytes [07:59] Krishnandu: It's not used consistently (though Ubuntu has tried to standardize within Ubuntu itself). [07:59] Krishnandu: the big B means Byte and small b is bit that is what I understand. [08:00] suigeneris: traditionally a cron job with no output will generate no record of being run, and a cron job that has output will mail the output to the user who owns the job [08:00] Does anyone know of a voice command program. I would like to dictate my pc from voice [08:00] lucent, 1MB = 1024KB so 1Mib = ?KB ?? [08:00] If you all want Ubuntu to be, then stop trying to promote Linux more than Ubuntu. You think Microsoft said for Windows 3.1 it worked on top of MS-DOS? [08:00] obs3rv3r: is the list to the left in package manager what is installed? [08:00] be more popular* [08:00] fep go to all an sort the first column [08:00] starting with "amateur radio" something [08:00] obs3rv3r, Ya dats diff Mb and MB, these is used in mainly broadband speeds ads [08:00] Krishnandu: not today, 1MB = 1000*1000 bytes, 1MiB = 1024*1024 bytes [08:00] Jordan_U, i see, thanks, i always thought it would use some sort of temp files to do that.. [08:00] Krishnandu: 1024 KiB [08:00] ok, ill try to find [08:01] Krishnandu: it has changed, that's why it is confusing :) [08:01] quiescens anyway, it's not running. how can I fix it? [08:01] Make the word Ubuntu mean usability, stability and security, since the consumer runs from the word Liinux. :P [08:01] lucent, Ohh got it..!! So MB is 2^ and MiB is 10^ [08:01] Linux* [08:01] right?? [08:01] lucent: It's never been consistent. It's best to avoid 'MB' if the difference is actually important. [08:01] obs3rv3r, so that light is still on [08:01] obs3rv3r: sorry, im a newbie as you call it. when i press all, the list dont change [08:01] Krishnandu: No. [08:01] which kinda sucks [08:01] Jordan_U, Just the opposite?? [08:02] Krishnandu: yes. The only one that is consistent is "MiB" because it is new, and explicitly says powers of 2 [08:02] i think its funny that my hackintosh is easier than my ubuntu X| [08:02] "Mebibyte" MiB [08:02] ...Uh? [08:02] can somebody help me with my flickering virtual consoles when enabling proprietary graphic drivers? -alternatively making 1280 x 768 resolution available when not? [08:02] patrick_: so it didn't change ? [08:02] lucent, means MiB is 2^ and MB 10^ right?? [08:02] I should be in bed, but I am interested. Talk, patrick_. [08:02] hows the terminal on the mac [08:02] Krishnandu: yes [08:02] okies...thanks :) [08:02] patrick_: keep a sleep of 30 before you run the amixer command [08:02] Krishnandu: *iB has always been, and will always be powers of two. MB KB are used both ways by different people in different places. [08:02] obs3rv3r, not on startup [08:03] tiox, so my mac has a headphone jack that glows red because it is using spdif out. i can fix by running "amixer set IEC958 off" [08:03] obs3rv3r: oh my god, its a huge list of every little thing that is implemented in the operating system. i was hoping for a list like "this is what you installed the last two week : " [08:03] I didn't knew.....even modern computer books these says 1KB=1024B, 1MB=1024KB and so on... [08:04] * tiox has achey eyes and thinks bed would be best [08:04] tiox, i just want to change the default to be off, but apparently thats too easy to do. Linux pros need something more adventurous; like writing a script to change it at every boot [08:04] * patrick_ punches self in mouth repeatedly === tiox is now known as tiox|dreaming`in [08:04] patrick_: put it in /home/$user/.bashrc and try opening a terminal [08:04] (ack) [08:05] patrick_: ALSA mixer persistence should be automatic === tiox|dreaming`in is now known as tiox|dreams`in`C [08:05] which channel should I joion to learn about Language or Soft skill Laboratory and Classroom learning resources in Ubuntu [08:05] bye guys [08:05] lucent, yeah i dont know what that means [08:05] (lol, C. I don't know a dran thing abouot it!) [08:05] fep /var/cache/apt/archives holds a list of apps u install [08:05] Bye! [08:05] Krishnandu: A "megabyte" is technically power of ten (though people often don't mean that when they say megabyte) and "mibibyte" is powers of two. It's an unfortunate situation, and a widespread problem. Again, it's best to just avoid "MB" and the like if the distinctions is actually important. [08:05] anyone? obs3rv3r seems to be away for a moment [08:05] obs3rv3r: ok, thanks === tiox|dreams`in`C is now known as tiox|suspend [08:05] lucent, is alsa=sound prefs applet? [08:06] Jordan_U, Ya got it in wiki...MB is 10^6 and MiB 2^20 [08:06] is there a way to recover missing partion in MBR [08:06] patrick_: but one question...does the spdif glows even if you plugin nothing ? [08:06] hey how can i join ape-project@irc.freenode.net ? [08:06] obs3rv3r, yeah thats the main problem [08:06] Please im new to irc [08:06] patrick_: alsa is the name of the project which writes drivers for sound devices [08:06] obs3rv3r, actually thats the only problem [08:06] patrick_: thought the same...tried with .bashrc ? [08:07] obs3rv3r: that was better :) ... maby i can find it in package manager and do a complete remove, or do apt-get remove software? [08:07] Can someone tell me how to connect to ape-project@irc.freenode.net [08:07] ?? [08:07] obs3rv3r, where is that again? i tried it in whichever one you said to try first [08:07] patrick_: if your alsa system is not saving mixer settings, then that is a bug in Ubuntu most likely not running the correct command provided by the ALSA tools [08:07] fep which you find comfortable...is fine. [08:07] /home/username/.bashrc [08:07] obs3rv3r: ok, thanks [08:07] the command would be 'alsactl' [08:07] HELP !! [08:07] ANYONE HELP? === sc is now known as krishnan [08:08] krishnan [08:08] how to recover a deleted partion? [08:08] lucent, the applet in the gnome panel, is that configuring alsa? [08:08] noisewaterphd: Type "/join #ape-project" [08:08] ubud: How did you delete it? [08:08] try /join #ape-project [08:08] n00oooooooooooob, /connect irc.freenode.net and then /join #ape-project [08:08] seeing you're already on the freenode network [08:08] Hi, good day [08:09] thanks [08:09] whats the difference of imap and pop? (is imap that wich read from the server,and pop that wich downloads the mail from the server?) [08:09] Jordan_U: actually not deleted but suddently my 80GB hard disk only shows 18GB [08:09] Thanks everyone [08:09] you're welcome :) [08:09] Does anyone here have an idea about ape-server? [08:09] ubud: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? [08:10] :) [08:10] fep: pop will download your mails locally. [08:10] n00oooooooooooob, that is some nick :) maybe for each thing you learn you can remove one "o" each time :) [08:10] hehe [08:10] krishnan: ok thanks [08:11] lol @ coz_ [08:11] Jordan_U: paste where? [08:11] n00oooooooooooob, that way you will be less and less of a noob :) [08:11] coz_: but those zeros and the Os are confusing ;) [08:11] ubud, pastebin [08:11] lol coz [08:12] obs3rv3r, ok, [08:12] !pastebin | ubud [08:12] ubud: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[08:13] aubrey616: that would be a bug I guess. [08:14] patrick: did the light go away / [08:14] Jordan_U:http://paste.ubuntu.com/517263/ [08:14] obs3rv3r, no dude === patrick is now known as Guest63488 [08:14] The ape-project room is totally inactive , any idea where I can get help about the ape-server???? [08:14] thanks for the help man, but its 3am and i gotta work in the am [08:14] Jordan_U:http://paste.ubuntu.com/517263/ [08:14] apparently nickserv agrees [08:14] aubrey616: You can get a useful backtrace by doing "catch throw" in gdb. [08:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/517264/ [08:14] aubrey616: But I would run it under valgrind. [08:14] ubud: I saw it the first time. [08:14] obs3rv3r, but thanks for all your trouble [08:15] patrick wait a moment [08:15] murrayc, i cant debug gparted properly, i am not that good. thanks though [08:15] obs3rv3r, yes? [08:15] n00oooooooooooob, if the ape guys can't help...then thr is no other option other than wiki / blog / google / their own documentation [08:15] aubrey616: Then just file a bug then. [08:15] Krishnandu: my friend just give me output of "df -h" http://paste.debian.net/97423/ [08:15] Guest63488: try whats in that link..should help you i guess. [08:15] What is the dir structure for the apt repository in the server? [08:16] Krishnandu: how can one have such a setup? single partition on multiple mount points? [08:16] murrayc, ok, i'll do that. Heh, i've experienced a lot of problems with 10.10, thinking of downgrading to 9.04 or 10.04 [08:16] Jordan_U: the usb hard disk( winxp ) actual size 80GB not 20GB, I lost all my data [08:16] Used to work with /var/install/prod/ubuntu/dist/* [08:17] greenmang0, I think he mounted diff folders :P [08:17] Is it different after hardy? [08:17] Hello,How can I activate my finger print on Ubuntu 10.10? [08:17] murrayc, i dont have a launchpad account, can you file it for me ? [08:17] ubud: How are you sure you aren't just looking at a different drive? [08:17] Ya diff folders are mounted instead of the whole /dev/sdc1 [08:18] Jordan_U: i tool out the hd from a CPU and put it in a usb casing [08:18] Krishnandu: mounting folders instead of partition? [08:18] greenmang0, Ya [08:18] Krishnandu: how? [08:19] greenmang0, Just as you mount paritions, see /etc/fstab for better idea [08:20] ubud: Hard drives don't change in capacity, apparent or otherwise. I'm almost certain that none of the drives listed in that output are, or ever were, 80 GB. [08:20] aubrey616: No. Please sign up. [08:20] I'm curious if I can add color to the 'more' and 'less' commands in xterm? [08:20] greenmang0, See those proc and etc. They even doesn't exists. Just a virtual thing. [08:20] Jordan_U: think the mbr is missing, because the hard disk is raw now [08:21] murrayc, nah, i am a user, thats it. [08:21] sorry [08:22] aubrey616: Expect no improvement then. I wonder why you even bother asking here. [08:22] Krishnandu: sudo mount --bind Music/ /mnt/music [08:22] Krishnandu: it must be a binding then [08:22] yes [08:22] binds don't show up in df [08:22] usually [08:22] ubud: The mbr has nothing to do with the total capacity listed by fdisk. [08:22] thx krishnandu [08:23] n00oooooooooooob, :) [08:23] Hi .... [08:23] murrayc, i ask so i know if i am the only one experiencing problems with latest gparted, running ubuntu 10.10. I have the 64 bit though ... [08:23] greenmang0: i would think an easier way would be to just run "mount" with no arguments and look at the mount list [08:23] How can I fix this error "“SMBus base address uninitialized – upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr” ? [08:23] Jordan_U: not forgetting mfg drive tool to set capacity? [08:23] How can I fix this error "SMBus base address uninitialized – upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr” ? [08:23] greenmang0, Ya thats right...follow quiescens. Just using mount will give you much better idea [08:24] tgywa: wow, seems pretty self explanitory, no? [08:25] Krishnandu: yeah... i asked him to provide me o/p of mount [08:25] Hello,How can I activate my finger print on Ubuntu 10.10? [08:25] greenmang0, see man mount...see the binding thing.... === dev is now known as d3v0 [08:25] yeah... i did check that... [08:25] knightstalker: use thinkfinger [08:26] netlinks xubutnu [08:26] obs3rv3r,how exactly can I tell ubuntu to install it? [08:26] ya see -B and -R, and you'll get howz that done [08:26] greenmang0, ^^ [08:27] HI, how to update a software I installed it from source (compile from source) [08:27] knightstalker: follow http://bit.ly/c7DcjO [08:28] anyone very familar with hardware raid6 controllers? Trying to make a wise decision which one to get [08:28] KiiK: download an updated source and compile/install again. [08:28] EpicFaggot2: why raid6 ? [08:28] cause i got over 8 drives? [08:28] EpicFaggot2: personal experience ... be away from RAID 5 and its variants . [08:29] obs3rv3r: go with RAID 10 if its possible for you. [08:29] EpicFaggot2: If it's FakeRAID, pretty much guarenteed if it's desktop hardware, don't bother with it at all. [08:29] Jordan_U: I'm looking at enterprise level ;/ [08:29] obs3rv3r: sometimes they have .configure, how can i do if I forget what args/options I set before ?? thanks [08:29] Jordan_U: Like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816151049 [08:29] KiiK: check config.log then [08:30] EpicFaggot2: I am suggesting you from an Enterprise Level. [08:30] Nope, I'm a software engineer ;p [08:30] obs3rv3r: old source code config.log ?? [08:30] EpicFaggot2: Might get better answers in ##hardware, or maybe #ubuntu-server. [08:30] KiiK: Yes. [08:31] EpicFaggot2: Please change your nick, it is not apropriate for this channel. [08:31] obs3rv3r: if I removed the old source code, therefore no way to check it back ?? [08:31] It seems when it comes to enterprise and hardware, they seems to be good redudancy [08:31] EpicFaggot2: wait or 1 of your disk to bite dust...and see the performance then. === EpicFaggot2 is now known as Bobbobson [08:31] KiiK: Sorry no. [08:31] KiiK: Unless you have saved the logs somewhere. [08:32] obs3rv3r: thats the purpose of having hw you dont see a huge performance drop from degradation [08:32] RAID is supposed to be a savior. You want more space..buy more disks. [08:32] Bobbobson: With RAID 5 ? :) [08:33] obs3rv3r: RAID 6 [08:33] lucent, thanks ... but how can i use Force_addr ? Is it a module? [08:33] Bobbobson: still. the recovery time would not be appreciating to the service at that moment. [08:34] obs3rv3r: Recovery time is around a few hours, plus this is a workstation not a server ;p [08:34] Bobbobson: You please yourself then :) [08:35] obs3rv3r: ;P of course but I'm looking for insight on a specific manufacture of hw raid controllers [08:36] obs3rv3r: thanks. I will keep them all next time. and anyway to auto conf them without I copy it myself, like point to config.log instead. [08:36] KiiK: did ont get the second part [08:36] not* [08:36] does ubuntu 10.04 have automatic trim suppot? [08:37] or do I need to do some thing? [08:37] Bobbobson: if so #hardware would be a good place I suppose. [08:37] obs3rv3r: otw thnx === jhattara_ is now known as jhattara [08:39] Hello all. Iam trying to install Maverick server iso .. no matter how i install it I end up getting the generic-pae kernel as shown in uname -a. Shouldnt this kernel be named server-something because it is the optimized kernel? [08:41] hey guys im trying to connect to my local net machine using the remote desktop viewer that came with Ubuntu..and while I can ping the host for whatever reason it will not let me connect... [08:41] I dont have any firewalls or nothing on [08:41] that would prevent it [08:42] epaphus: Is it 64 bit hardware? If so I'd highly recommend using 64 bit Ubuntu. [08:44] Ok I am trying wrap my head around lvm for the 2nd time, I have two hdd one small holding everything in / but /home and home is one a large hdd. I used the alternate install disk to setup lvm on install of os and have created a volume group and logical volume but when I try to see size of /home it is clearly installed on the smaller hdd (30 vs 1500 gigs) [08:44] HELLO every body [08:45] i 'm back [08:45] hello [08:45] i want to upgrade new version os Firefox,I have it's .tar file.how can i update it please ? [08:45] Jordan_U, its 32bit arch. Just wondering about the name of the kernel [08:46] hi Cairo [08:46] hi [08:46] can you help me? [08:46] can you help me? Cairo [08:46] maybe [08:46] what do you need help with? [08:46] i want to upgrade new version os Firefox,I have it's .tar file.how can i update it please ? [08:46] i want to upgrade new version os Firefox,I have it's .tar file.how can i update it please ? [08:46] i want to upgrade new version of Firefox,I have it's .tar file.how can i update it please ? [08:47] couldn't you just use update manager [08:47] ? [08:47] epaphus: As I understand it, with 32 bit, when people wanted PAE they used to install the -server kernel, because it had PAE enabled. Because that was the primary reason people installed what used to be called the server kernel, they renamed it -pae. [08:47] or use the inbuilt firefox update function [08:47] epaphus: So 64 bit has a -server pacakge available and 32 bit has a -pae package available. [08:47] or maybe that isn't in the linux version === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:48] ubuntu live cd,Cairo [08:48] ah [08:49] Jordan_U, thanks [08:49] could you just install it [08:49] ? [08:49] epaphus: You're welcome. [08:49] if you double click on the .tar file a window should open [08:49] what would be the harm in running xubuntu 8.10 and not updating it? [08:49] wait is this source? [08:50] pyrokamileon, welll there would be no real updates for it [08:50] huh? [08:50] pyrokamileon: It would be dangerous to have it connected to the internet since there are no security updates for 8.10 anymore. [08:50] pyrokamileon: do you expect you get firefox updates in 2018 in a 8.10 install? [08:50] pyrokamileon: Why would you want to? [08:50] running old versions of *any* operating system is dangerous from a security standpoint [08:51] pyrokamileon, yes as Jordan_U said [08:51] yes [08:51] I just installed it and there are plenty of updates offered, as well as upgrade options for the next version of xubuntu [08:52] pyrokamileon: Ubuntu 8.10 doesn't have security updates for any problems discovered after April 2010. [08:52] I have a linksys wusb54g and it has been a real pain trying to use it [08:52] rebbot [08:52] fuck lol [08:53] reboot wrong terminal [08:53] I'm using this linksys to connect to my friends wpa wireless and it seems that if I use ANY ubuntu that was made after 9.10 it will not connect at all!

[08:54] wikipedia should be able to explain that in detail [08:55] if ubottu weren't overwhelmed, she'd tell you ;( [08:55] ;) [08:55] lol yeah I guess so.. [08:55] pyrokamileon: one or more of the servers in this IRC network unlinked from the others, so users on one side of the link can't see users on the other side of the link [08:55] we had that in #hedgewars and #minecraft too [08:55] it means 1 or more of the irc servers disconnected from the network, they'll come back eventually [08:56] oh i wasn't crazy [08:56] so what's it called when they come back? [08:56] thought services hated me [08:56] nice, looks nice [08:57] so noone can help me with the lvm question? [08:57] services still down? [08:58] Bobbobson: they work for me [08:58] ubottu: netsplit [08:58] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [08:58] yea [08:58] there we go :) [08:58] yeah i registered might have to register again seems services crashed too ;/ [08:58] haha, fun :-) [08:59] cjae: what are you trying to do? [08:59] nothing [09:00] quiescens: Ok I am trying wrap my head around lvm for the 2nd time, I have two hdd one small holding everything in / but /home and home is one a large hdd. I used the alternate install disk to setup lvm on install of os and have created a volume group and logical volume but when I try to see size of /home it is clearly installed on the smaller hdd (30 vs 1500 gigs) [09:00] cjae: you want to leave / on your small hdd and have /home on the other one? [09:00] quiescens: yep [09:01] have you tried using fuse? [09:01] cjae: i'm not entirely sure what that has to do with lvm really [09:01] works for my server like a charm [09:01] I have my phone paired and setup with ubuntu, but every time i want to reconnect to access files or use the internet i keep getting prompted for a (new) pin. Is this intentional and/or can i change it so it will not prompt for a new pin everytime? [09:01] cjae: you could link /home with folder on large one [09:01] quiescens: and have the ability to add drives to in the future [09:02] cjae: okay, so your small drive has whatever, and your larger drive is set up as a lvm physical volume? [09:02] quiescens: yes [09:02] hi [09:02] but with the ability to add drives in the future quiescens [09:03] after update ... MENU IN FIREFOX NOT WORKING. WTF? [09:03] cjae: so "sudo pvscan" should show the physical volumes that lvm is able to recognise [09:03] ok yeah so I'm using older versions of ubuntu because my linksys wusb54g won't work on newers versions.. [09:04] i want to upgrade new version of Firefox,I have it's .tar file.how can i update it please ? [09:04] I was using Debian Lenny because of it's older kernel (which I assumed was part of the solution) but just the other day it stopped connecting on my laptop and desktop! [09:04] pyrokamileon: is the device recognized at all? [09:04] How can I stream my webcam to a web site? I have installed apache web server and I have a web cam. [09:04] tdn webcamd [09:05] when firefox 4 release ? [09:05] um well, I never got around to doing an lsusb on it because wireless options were available and the adapter did light up [09:05] I need to list every file changed in the last 24 hours in a folder structure.. is there any way I can do that with ls or find?

[09:48] quiescens: how else can I test via cli to see? fdisk? [09:48] cjae: "df -h" is usually helpful [09:48] Krishnandu, thanks again. i don't have a problem working on all these things, but still i don't have a good impression about how all these components work together. i am confudes about the exacat tasks of all these things.

[09:49] then ill paste df -h [09:49] Krishnandu, until now i was working a bit on X, abit on fluxbox, played around with display managers xdm/kdm/gdm but i don't have a clear view of the "dependencies" [09:49] Benkinooby, Your confusion won't get clear after reading the wiki's or documentation too...coz they will just give you the overview. Try to configure from scratch manually. Then only you'll get experience..!! [09:49] cjae: and of course to make sure that it works on a cold boot, so that you don't find out it doesn't work the next time you turn on the computer [09:50] Krishnandu, ok. so i keep on doing what i do ;) [09:50] what does verified author mean in google chrome extension? [09:50] quiescens: ok brb [09:51] Benkinooby, you don't need to think about dependencies, that's the headache of distro's packagemanager [09:51] ow can I know what version of nvidia drivevrs do I have? [09:51] Krishnandu, maybe dependency was a bad expression. i want to know how all these components work together. [09:51] Benkinooby, well, install just cli, now install xorg, install de, install alsa etc do everything from scatch [09:52] does anyone have an answer to my question? [09:52] * suigeneris jumps up and down for help [09:52] Benkinooby, I mean say just install cli, now install and configure everything else manually..

Removing "quiet splash" from my GRUB [10:04] Since upgrading from 8.04 to 10.4, all my cron jobs fail [10:04] Isn't it the case that cron spawns `sh` to execute its commands?

[10:06] (and you can still use bash by using `bash` instead of just `sh`) [10:06] cousteau`work, and afaik pmorris is right, used to be one thing then they switched [10:07] Aemaeth: I'm not sure... it's easy to check, I must have some LiveCDs at home [10:08] what does verified author mean in google chrome extension?

[10:09] Without relinking sh directly to bash for the entire system [10:10] pmorris: use scripts with #!/bin/bash in the shebang [10:10] ljsoftnet: it means the person who uploaded the extension has verified using Google Webmaster Tools that they own the domain that's listed after "Verified author:" [10:10] * cousteau`work wishes that the Xilinx guys do that in the future [10:11] rww if its verified does this mean that the extension is safe? [10:11] ljsoftnet: that's not what I said, no. [10:11] erUSUL: the problem is that the command itself is using bash syntax, e.g. herestrings to launch the script [10:12] rww if the extension says can access all data on websites, when installing an extension, it still has access on it? [10:13] ljsoftnet: yes, extensions can access all data on all websites you visit. [10:13] rww but author cannot access the data rigth? [10:13] pmorris: do not use those features then; stick to posix sh [10:14] ljsoftnet: the author created the extension. the extension can access the data. if the author told the extension to send data to her...

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[10:36] and 10.04 worked fine so it seems to be a change in 10.10 which bonks boot [10:36] Benkinoby; just a moment it is resizing the partition home now [10:38] dsga, np. btw spell my name correctly so that i get notyfied when you write me. try to write the first fes letters of my name and then pess "Tab"-button. it sould autocomlete my name [10:38] DrHouse|Aribeth, that sounds severe. have you considered creating a bug in launchpad? [10:38] anyone here know how to setup a web based user management (password management, user creation, etc.)? [10:39] adalal, ask in #php [10:39] yep, but just wondering if it was known or anyone had some ideas for fixing it, ob i think its not detecting the cd drive properly hence the /dev/sdd errors. [10:39] adalal, or #apache? [10:39] seidos: thanks [10:39] adalal, good luck [10:39] how could I install development version of python on my 8.04 server? [10:40] DrHouse|Aribeth, the only thing i can think of is maybe try changing the medium (try live cd from live usb), and verify checksum of iso before burning [10:40] FrEaKmAn_, sudo apt-cache search python should list all the python packages available [10:40] Hey, how to make ubuntu portable on a USB [10:41] anyone knows if evolution 2.3 has been ported to Lucid?

[10:41] lf2saga, use usb-creator. system > administration > usb startup creator [10:42] seidos= Ok, Let me try [10:42] Thanks Seidos [10:42] dsga, click your partition and then use the resize button on the top [10:42] lf2saga, good luck [10:42] Thanks a Lot [10:43] Benkinooby, it does not allow me to enlarge root, even if i have 38 gb free now [10:45] Benkinooby, it deos not work [10:45] guys I am on my windows partition and all my files are set to chmod 777. I execute chmod -R 644 * in any folder they are still rwxrwxrwx. What should I do? [10:45] I think a long time ago I mistakenly made them all 777. Now I cant fix it. chmod does not output any error but does not also change mod [10:46] hoare, did you use sudo? [10:46] seidos: hell yeah. it does not make it work, too. [10:46] hoare, no idea [10:46] it seems there is something automatically makes it all 777. [10:46] hoare: NTFS partitions don't have a concept of UNIX file permissions, so everything on them shows 777 when viewed from Linux. This is intended behavior. [10:47] hoare: if it is a windows partition the permissions are faked for all files at mount time via mount options [10:47] rww: let me see [10:47] hi would like to know which channel for smplayer ? the smplayer can't play .mp4 file downloaded from youtube [10:47] Benkinooby, now it does not show me any partition anymore, but i have lost all the data into the hard disk? [10:47] rww: that's wrong. my other ntfs partition (c:) has non-777 permissions. however this storage ntfs partition has 777. [10:48] hoare: you probably have umask=0000 fmask=0000 dmask=0000 ( the first or the last two ) as mount option [10:48] dsga, the point is i don't see what you are doing :( [10:48] then something fun's going on. [10:48] Benkinooby, it shows my harddisk unallocated, how can i recover everything? [10:48] erUSUL: how can I change settings of automount? [10:49] dsga, usually gparted remebers all your actions and executes them i one big swipe when you tell it to do so. [10:49] Benkinooby, ok i have reduced home partiton, i have created a new partiton on the unallocated area, and gparted has unallocated all my hardisk and partiton [10:49] dsga, did ouy allready write to hard disk? [10:49] Benkinooby, it doe snot show me how to recover them [10:49] no [10:49] dsga, try to find the undo button [10:49] dsga, it should be in the menu [10:49] it does not wor [10:50] Anyone!!

[10:52] Seidos- System>Administration and then where to go? [10:52] hoare, you might try unmounting and remounting the drive/partition manually [10:52] Benkinooby, it says unable to open sda [10:52] Akshit_, usb startup creator [10:52] seidos: it is mounted automatically on startup. so I would have to do that each reboot. [10:53] seidos - but I can't find the option [10:53] Akshit_: alt+F2 then type usb-creator-gtk [10:53] Benkinooby, leave I will format everything. thank you [10:53] hoare, i am just saying to do that to see if it will fix the problem [10:53] seidos: hmm let me see [10:53] hoare, if it does, you can worry about automount. up to you on how you want to handle it.

[10:56] can't I just use "su root" like other distros? I prepend sudo everytimre [10:56] yeah, it runs fine with sudo, Krishnandu [10:56] sudo -i [10:56] hoare, no idea [10:56] Seidos or Crawler - What to do Now? I opened Make Startup Disk [10:57] does anyone has suggestions for stable webcam streaming to client and embedding? [10:57] basically skype + web page embedding [10:57] Akshit_: i think you put in your ubuntu disk, or point to the .iso file and click "Make Startup Disk".. [10:57] seidos, Ya it would do... [10:57] Akshit_, you should download an ubuntu iso if you haven't already. you need it to create the live usb. [10:57] Akshit_, i recommend downloading via torrent. faster in my experience. [10:58] hoare, root a/c is locked by default in ubuntu. Though you may unlock it anytime. But it's not recommended [10:58] please some1 tell my if this statement is correct: Xorg is the x-server.

[11:02] arti12: antIP desktop or laptop computer? [11:02] Laurenceb_, you are connecting to it via the network. it is on the network according to what you said.

[11:07] Laurenceb_, screen shot? [11:08] Benkinooby: Yeah, I wonder what sort of updates were done to the mouse or video drivers in 10.10. One of the mouse is hp and the other is logitech. [11:08] seidos: ive got it non greyed out now [11:08] seidos: A660d model.... all amd components, ubuntu amd64 10.04.... there are other issues with sound... but the keyboard backlight is paramount [11:08] Laurenceb_, i see [11:08] Neckor: PPTP= [11:08] should i put the port onto the end of the ip address?

I'm not sure if they were enabled during the lxde session wherein the same problem happened. I did try changing sevearl settings in Compiz, but nothing changed.

In my case the mouse only jumps when I'm using it. Not while typing. His solutiosn are related to touch pads. [11:14] seidos: the backlight works before ubuntu boots.... but not after.....thus, I think something in ubuntu is making it farkle.

[11:19] Laurenceb_, i'm not sure what "configure the printer server" means in this context. you want to print to the printer, not administer the server, right? [11:19] Benkinooby: No it doesn't get worse. But sometimes I think it's related to CPU increase, and other times it doesn't seem to be. PS. I don't have an xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ [11:19] suigeneris: [11:19] nbubuntu, you can change the mediaplayer in firefox that is responsibe to play back media files. the standard one is gplayer or so. with mplugin you can change that. use my words and do a bit google. there are a lot of manuals out there.

[11:20] cryptodira, create a bug in launchpad is the only thing i can recommend. use alt-f2 ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop . that should work. [11:21] DjAngo23, use alsamixer in the terminal and check the levels of the BOOSTers [11:21] Laurenceb_, er, port, okay. have you tried ipp://ip:port ? [11:21] yes [11:21] nbubuntu, dou you use firefox? [11:21] :631 [11:21] crawler: No it doesn't get worse. But sometimes I think it's related to CPU increase, and other times it doesn't seem to be. PS. I don't have an xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ [11:21] Benkinooby : I am using firefox now , anything related with firefox browser ? [11:21] i meant port as in socket on the back of the server [11:22] lpt or usb [11:22] hi all..recently i have faced problem in booting my windows 7 after updating my ubuntu 10.04..its always going for checking errors rather than starting thr login page..any suggestions?? [11:22] any reason why i cant find "/boot/grub/menu.lst" [11:22] anyone faced similar problem?? [11:22] Laurenceb_, ah. okay. i guess the print server you are using isn't sharing it as an ipp printer. [11:22] nbubuntu, i think you should change the multimedia plugin for firefox. [11:22] Forrest, grub2 doesn't support that [11:22] antIP: sorry, i'm still using jaunty so i don't know where they moved the xorg.conf to. but try to change the driver that is moving the mouse to evdev if it's not already set to use it [11:22] Laurenceb_, is it a windows printer server? [11:22] Forrest, even don't use that [11:23] in windows i can setup a tcp/ip printer [11:23] nbubuntu, see my post at 12:10 [11:23] Does anyone know a good program to convert .mp4 to dvd? [11:23] nbubuntu, 12:19 i mean [11:23] Krishnandu okay all the guides i am reading are old [11:23] Benkinooby : i mean downloaded mp4 from youtube. [11:23] Dan_E: devede [11:23] seidos: its not actually running windows [11:23] Laurenceb_, you can select other protocols by clicking the little arrow next to "Network Printer". windows printer via SAMBA is an option there [11:23] its a small hardware device [11:23] does it burn also? [11:23] Forrest, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:23] nbubuntu, hm, maybe it doesn't get converted properly [11:23] right [11:23] thaks [11:23] thanks* [11:24] Forrest, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [11:24] Benkinooby : that's the reason [11:24] Dan_E: not sure but you have brasero for that [11:24] crawler: xorg.conf is no longer present in Ubuntu unless it is explicitly required. [11:24] k [11:24] Laurenceb_, can you ping the device? [11:24] now isnt that weird [11:24] thank you Krishnandu! [11:24] it just booted when i burned to a DVD [11:24] antIP: well, things sure have changed ;-) [11:24] Xorg >1.8 doesn't use xorg.conf [11:24] Forrest, :) [11:24] hey now [11:25] seidos: no [11:25] Benkinooby : at the first view , it play out the video picture but when clicking the same file for the second view , it only got sound with no video [11:25] guess i need to talk to the network admin [11:25] seidos: thanks for the help. [11:25] Laurenceb_, if you can't ping the device, i'm not sure what else to try. [11:26] cryptodira, may the ubuntu be with you [11:26] i read somewhere when you get I/O errors sometimes burning to a dvd helps the issue, but question is, why would me burning it to a CD cause a flood of I/O errors but not a DVD [11:26] nbubuntu, hm, what player do you use? [11:26] crawler: Yeah, I'm surprised anyone is still running Jaunty. [11:26] Benkinooby : smplayer , [11:27] nbubuntu, try vlc [11:27] Benkinooby : vlc and mplayer .With mplayer downloaded code , and VLC it works [11:27] antIP: hehe i'm comfortable here and still get updates, so no reason to upgrade yet [11:27] Benkinooby : vlc works , but not smplayer, I wanted smplayer to work too since it's more easy for newbie like us [11:27] crawler: Yeah, reinstalling ubuntu every 6 months gets a little old. [11:28] nbubuntu, it think it would be ebst if you go to smplayer irc-channel or find help that is more smplayer specific. this is no ubuntu thing anymore. [11:28] nbubuntu: is there any way you can upload the video in question somewhere so we can analyze it? [11:28] <_oo__anand__oo_> ;o [11:28] :\ [11:28] antIP: seriously..that and every time i upgrade from the update-manager, a million things go wrong [11:29] crawler: I've never attempted an upgrade, and I never will.

[11:55] lol [11:55] Pr3nt1c3: sounds like it's trying to display something to do with timezones, not sure exactly what or how to attack it [11:55] crawler : i am sure I have h.264 installed , I am able to play .mkv files but not mp4 [11:55] that's the downside of these less active times, less people to see your problem and possibly know an answer [11:55] neither am I... hence my question [11:56] can anybody give me output of "# dpkg -S /etc/init/gssd.conf" please? [11:56] greenmang0: why?

[11:57] Krishnandu: im aware of why the pairing occurs, but normally the shared secret is stored and reused, so a permanent pairing, this pairing also remains stored both on the pc and phone but it will still try to pair again, this should not happen in this case [11:57] acicula, Ahh...well.. [11:58] greenmang0: I don't have that file on my 10.10 machine. [11:58] lahwran: well... nfs-common provides that file :) [11:58] greenmang0: then why are you asking?

[12:02] shatly_: sorry that was a mistake ... my bad :( [12:02] does anyone know what happened to geubuntu?

[12:04] yuvateja: speaking simply, you don't want your boss see you login to a server or try using his username/passwords :P [12:04] crawler : i think I found out the reason [12:04] yuvateja: if you're just (for instance) connecting to a multi-user dungeon game, however, then telnet is generally fine [12:04] yuvateja: otherwise, use !ssh [12:04] Empathy not connecting. it says "No specific Reason" [12:04] nbubuntu: what is it?

[12:09] I can boot Ubuntu from USB, but cannot access my filesystem from there - is this possible? [12:10] but you can always run a 32 bit app in a 64 bit environment...except there are exceptions at times that need more workaround! [12:10] hi [12:10] laninha: 32bit is recommended because a lot of ubuntu users like to use piece of crap items of proprietary software that don't work well or at all in 64bit land [12:10] DoubleDrat: why can't you access your filesystem? [12:10] DoubleDrat: do you know? [12:10] crawler : but still really feel funny , should it be a bug or setting error ? [12:10] DoubleDrat: can't access the filesystem as in ? === Jay is now known as Guest46030 [12:10] laninha: free software, and free operating systems, have been working very well in 64 bit mode for many years :) [12:10] nast: y way of putting it, but ok [12:11] I mean I have Ubuntu installed ... when I boot from USB (not HD), I cannot access any of the files that are on my HD [12:11] I don't know how/why [12:11] * obs3rv3r likes discordianfish's host [12:11] DoubleDrat: then mount them. [12:11] DoubleDrat: you need to mount them . [12:11] i think a found a regession in the mapping of the cryptodisk via cryptosetup but don't know how to debug that further. i already opend a ticket but i doub't that this is enought info: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cryptsetup/+bug/664252 [12:11] !moun [12:11] !mount [12:11] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [12:11] obs3rv3r: thanks ;) [12:11] nast in the real world I probably someone who uses crappy proprietary software too, sorry :( [12:12] nbubuntu: hmm...maybe it's smplayer's default settings that need to be changed. if i were you, i'd talk to them and find out the reasoning for making it remember as default. then suggest to them they consider changing it to off as default [12:12] Empathy not connecting. it says "No specific Reason" [12:12] ah i see [12:12] thank you, I will look into that [12:12] laninha: enjoy your pain ;P [12:12] crawler : so i should post the bug error on ubuntu forum ? [12:12] blinkyb: what are you connecting to? I recommend against empathy, thought clearly the packagers of the livecd don't [12:13] lahwran: pidgin is god :P [12:13] nast: strace fglrxinfo spams the terminal and then stops with "ioctl(5, 0xc01c64a6" [12:13] obs3rv3r: I also recommend against pidgin [12:13] is installing ubuntu on a laptop that already has windows7 on it no problem (to create a dual-boot) Windows won't break if I take some of its space away? [12:13] lahwran: i've used it for 4 months so far. it worked fine until now. i didnt like pidgin. [12:13] obs3rv3r: xchat and bitlbee [12:13] lahwran: lemme restart and see if it works or not. [12:13] lahwran: thanks for the link... everything's alright in my /etc/init/ [12:13] laninha: erm, depends [12:13] lahwran: i am on xchat! its good for IRC. pidgin is good for other IMs. least for me.:) [12:14] nbubuntu: check their forum first, the bugtracker http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/ see if anyone brought up this issue before [12:14] will check on bitlbee though :) [12:14] laninha: I had a major pain with windows 7 and 10.10 today, it can be painful, though it's usually seamless [12:14] lahwran: huh? [12:14] obs3rv3r: you'll never use another im client again [12:14] lahwran: why are you scaring me? [12:14] lahwran: actually i accidently deleted all scripts in /etc/init/ ... so had to install kubuntu on virtual box and copy files from there... and had to reinstall some applications too ... but everything's fine now :) [12:14] nbubuntu: on their front page "One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave... don't worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume..." [12:14] crawler : ok thanks , a lot :D [12:14] lahwran: so it will integrate my xchat with all that I use.... wow! [12:14] SpaceMint: there's more to that line...but it's not so important, now you know why its hanging [12:15] laninha: so you know that it's not the safest thing in the world. though if things do goof up and you can only boot ubuntu, just come back in here and we'll help you [12:15] lahwran: i'm actually installing it on a friend's laptop for her. I wouldn't want to mess her system up. She's an old lady [12:15] nothingspecial: is in the repo? [12:15] nbubuntu: sure, i think they must really love that feature :) [12:15] laninha: what laptop? [12:15] I fixed my problem by install selinux policy for ubuntu [12:15] lahwran: Dell vostro [12:15] laninha: you're 99.995% safe to install [12:15] lahwran: i like those odds ;) [12:16] lahwran: still the same error [12:16] crawler : maybe though , but this feature indeed cause me a headache haha [12:16] blinkyb: sorry what?

[12:17] laninha: btw those odds drop significantly if you don't keep a straight head during install. for instance, don't click "erase hard drive" [12:17] lahwran: :DD [12:17] DjAngo23: what sound driver [12:17] crawler : i think i figure it out again , sorry [12:17] lahwran, Don't realy now [12:18] DjAngo23: should have asked what sound device >.> [12:18] crawler : (preferred application ) gtg thanks for the help again ;-) [12:18] lahwran, doen' t know either ;) [12:18] nbubuntu: anytime, buddy [12:18] nbubuntu: you helped you more than i did :) [12:18] !pastebin | DjAngo23 show me 'lspci' [12:18] DjAngo23 show me 'lspci': For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[12:26] Poor little you ;) [12:26] rigved: ubuntu maintains updates for you, no manual updating required [12:26] Quants: mplayer too? [12:27] Guest97146: system> administration> synaptic package manager [12:27] DjAngo23: how much ram do you have free? [12:27] acicula: ok...is there some way to find out the current version of my hardware drivers? [12:27] domcod: Didn't checked that. [12:27] DjAngo23: looks like your device and driver are compatible, sounds like a higher-level software problem now [12:28] but isn't mplayer a movie player? [12:28] Hum, even that is quite strange because, i have to the same computers, the other one is working great ! [12:28] rigved: err yeah software manager probably, but ubuntu always lags behind nvidia's latest releases [12:28] Quants: and vlc? [12:28] !binary [12:28] Quants: mplayer is a player for a lot of things [12:28] !nvidia [12:28] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:28] vlc is ok [12:28] for movies [12:28] obs3rv3r: i have installed [12:28] When using gst-launch-0.10 for recording ogg audio, is it possible to set the bitrate or sample rate? [12:28] but on irc i have ~ [12:28] can i configure oident ? [12:29] rigved: have a read there, but just be sure what you get into, manually updating drivers can be a real nuisance. [12:29] if yes: where is config file [12:29] DjAngo23: ! [12:29] rigved you might have some drivers from system->administration->hardwaredrivers [12:29] acicula: ok [12:29] /etc/oidentd.conf ?? [12:29] DjAngo23: are they the exact same model? [12:29] mono debugger segfaults when debugging ASP.Net applications but only on ubuntu systems initially installed with 10.04+ (upgrade from 9.10 and all is well). Everything built from the same sources, so it doesn't seem to be a bug in mono... but I have no idea what else could be to blame. Not sure whether to post on the forum or raise a bug report (against what?) [12:29] Yes they are [12:30] What i paste you a screenshot [12:30] or ~/.oidentd.conf as it says in the man page. [12:30] pastebin ? hihi [12:30] when reading a manual with gnome help viewer, how do I search only within that manual as opposed to every manual present on the system? [12:30] acke-_: yes, it says the driver version is "current", but no mention of the exact driver version [12:30] Wait * [12:30] rigved, aah, thats screwed up. :) [12:30] nast: http://paste.ubuntu.com/517365/ the last 150 lines from the terminal, do you have any hints why fglrxinfo freezes? thanks [12:30] rigved: what drivers are you looking at there? [12:31] how do I remove ubuntu splash screen? [12:31] DjAngo23: a screenshot won't help [12:31] is there anything I can do to stop the big blank areas in combo boxes? [12:31] DjAngo23: there is something wrong with alsa, I think. probably buffer underruns [12:32] acicula: yes i know, which is why i first tried to find out if software center can update my nvidia drivers, but it says that the current driver version is installed and separately there's a version 185 available in software center [12:32] DjAngo23: I don't know enough about alsa to keep helping you === ukine is now known as ukine_work [12:32] acke-_: maybe version 185 or higher [12:32] Oh no. there is something really strang going on [12:32] flodin, afaik you can't [12:32] acke-_: latest is version 260 [12:32] CPU is weaving between 20 en 60% [12:32] rigved what does glxinfo tell you? [12:32] Quants: i think the cpu usage of mplayer is a kind of minimum because it doesn't have any fluff. try its -ao switch to narrow down the problem [12:32] DjAngo23: tell whoever helps you next that "the guy from #ubuntu said it's probably alsa buffer underruns" [12:32] lahwran, No really wait a second [12:32] quietone: that's a shame. I get far too many search results to have any use for it [12:33] Pulsaudio was at 120% CPU [12:33] !! [12:33] Indeed [12:33] rigved: the older numbers are legacy drivers and only support (very) old cards [12:33] sudo killall -9 pulseaudio [12:33] acke-_: should i type that in the terminal? - "glxinfo" [12:33] rigved: 185 or higher is what you want [12:33] acicula: yes [12:33] grub does not know how to handle windows 7 by default [12:34] flodin, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436991 [12:34] rigved do glxinfo | less in the terminal [12:34] DjAngo23: if you feel inclined, you could also try 'sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio' but that will remove your ability to play more than one sound at once from more than one app [12:34] how can i disable the gdm display loupe [12:34] ? [12:34] Well, killed like you told me. but still the CPU is weavind every second [12:34] im using playonlinux i have installed aoe3 but online play wont work is there anyway to fix this bug ? [12:35] DragonKeeper: the short version - not for you. [12:35] DragonKeeper: speak to them about it [12:35] DragonKeeper: not really ubuntu's issue [12:35] quietone: thanks [12:35] DragonKeeper: the long version - maybe. [12:35] acke-_: terminal says that it cannot find the package glxinfo in the repo [12:35] ikonia: playonlinux is a wrapper to wine [12:36] flodin, sure [12:36] ok [12:36] is there a way [12:36] acke-_: can jockey give some answers? [12:36] lahwran: yes, so not an ubuntu issue [12:37] lahwran, can i do : top >> list.txt ? [12:37] ikonia: yeah but "speak to them about it" is not helpful [12:37] DjAngo23: I guess no. [12:37] rigved: never used it, but it certaninly seems helpful [12:37] DjAngo23: no, top uses nCurses [12:37] tyou can do top -b -n1 > list.txt [12:37] lahwran: it is, it's confirming you should speak to the guys who make it [12:37] ikonia: if you say so [12:38] wine app database may have some info on the game.

How can I debug this? [13:07] Aer: find that file via google from some other source perhaps? [13:07] Jigal: exactly the same as you would on any other file system [13:07] this is it sha1sum mismatch! Rename /home/kurt/.cache/winetricks/./install_flash_player_ax.exe and try again. [13:07] Jigal: the google documentation should explain how to use the interface [13:07] i did i didnt find anything useful lol [13:07] Aer: have you asked the guys in #winehq ? [13:07] ikonia, it doesnt explain this [13:07] yeah no reply yet [13:07] does anyone know what the channel for sabayon application is? #sabayon is for distro [13:07] Jigal: there should be a contact pages on the google home page for support [13:08] Aer: hang in there then [13:08] !sabayon [13:09] How stable is btrfs?

[13:11] zmbmartin: I wouldn't be using it - there are no recovery tools [13:11] zmbmartin: why change? never touch a running system [13:11] I have my phone paired and setup with ubuntu, but every time i want to reconnect to access files or use the internet i keep getting prompted for a (new) pin. Is this intentional and/or can i change it so it will not prompt for a new pin everytime? [13:11] iceroot: I have a new laptop coming so I need to do new install anyway. [13:12] zmbmartin: then use ext3 or ext4 [13:12] ikonia & iceroot Thanks [13:14] hi i am having some trouble mounting a drive [13:14] a logical drive containing my ubuntu installation [13:14] hi all, I was wondering if the dvd release of ubuntu 10.10 also contains any other extra's than language packs... Does it for instance also contain video drivers or frequently used extra applications? [13:15] sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt -t ntfs - works OK [13:15] gadeynebram: nothing that has legal restrictions for distrubtion, such as the nvidia drivers etc [13:15] but I can't see all the files [13:15] DoubleDrat: you said it contains your linux installation [13:15] yeah [13:15] DoubleDrat: so why is it ntfs [13:15] DoubleDrat: ntfs is not compatiable as a Linux file system [13:15] and I'm launching Ubuntu through a USB [13:16] DoubleDrat: it doesn't matter what your launching it through [13:16] I don't know, but that's what it says it is [13:16] hello, just installed ubuntu 10.10.. great installer its all running but! I've made some changes through gconf-editor to apps/metacity .. how do I apply those changes ? [13:16] GParted says it's NTFS [13:16] DoubleDrat: is this something to do with wubi ? [13:16] in ubuntu 10.04 they applied as the key was changed, but I tried that and logging in/out + running metacity --replace without luck :/ [13:16] no [13:16] oh sorry [13:16] the partition? [13:16] DoubleDrat: what ? [13:17] I need some advice on SSD... I'd like to run encryption on my SSD but want trim support (native or with wiper.sh) Anyone know if it's better to do luks/dmcrypt + ext4, then use wiper.sh to get manual trim, or ext4 + native trim then ecryptfs on top? [13:17] I believe so ... if I launch windows 7, then the files I see there are the same as what I see when I mount it [13:17] hello [13:17] DoubleDrat: windows 7 is not your ubuntu installation [13:17] DoubleDrat: your ubuntu installation is not on an NTFS file system [13:17] tkanks ikonia, does the dvd contain other extra's besides language packs? Maybe some games or the ubuntu-extra library? [13:17] DoubleDrat: your windows 7 installation maybe on an NTFS file ysstem [13:17] gadeynebram: few extra packages that are in the repo - sure [13:17] hmm after login/out it works fine hmm [13:18] ok but in GParted I can only see NTFS partitions [13:18] i have install vbox on 10.04 now i have downloaded new .deb file and want to upgrade it using dpkg -i vbox.deb, But it giving me error that previous version is already install and conflicting [13:18] one of which (sda5) looks a lot like my Ubuntu installation [13:18] DoubleDrat: it's not [13:18] DoubleDrat: your linux install is not on an NTFS file system [13:19] okey, maybe an other question. Next week we have a lanparty where I'd like to promote ubuntu. I've tried setting up a apt-proxy but that only kees packages that I installed preveously. Is There a way to download some frequently used things and provide them on a LAN-network? [13:19] how can upgrade it ? [13:19] gadeynebram, apt-on-cd === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett [13:21] thanks! looks great! I'll try that [13:21] If you are using multiple columns/rows for your desktop, is there a way to set different backgrounds for each workspace? [13:21] jacob_: there are hacks, but nothing supported [13:21] jacob_: it's a common request === Bobbobson is now known as VastMajority [13:22] i started ntfs-config tool and it closed .. where do i find the error log? === VastMajority is now known as BobBobson [13:22] ikonia: Okay, thanks for letting me know :) and i can see why it'd be a common request. it's a darn good idea. [13:22] thunwind: i dunno, but ecryptfs is pretty well integrated and easier to use then luks/dmcrypt [13:22] jacob_, if you're using compiz, yes, there is a setting in the compiz-settings-manager [13:23] anyone know how to edit in XFCE, i tried "Main Menu" but that only edits the gnome menu [13:23] thunwind: id also much rather rely on the hardware trim then have some external software program manage it [13:24] acicula, just FYI, luks is integrated as well, you just need to use the alt cd. :) [13:24] thunwind: i didnt say its not integrated, i just said ecryptfs is easier to use [13:24] acicula, From my reading, I think only kernels 2.6.33+ support trim... what does 10.10 use? [13:24] .35 [13:24] i think [13:24] what happens when your ecryptfs drive is corrupted [13:25] xfce4-menueditor gnomefreak ? [13:25] ecryptfs is not a fde like luks, it is layerd on top of your normal filesystem [13:25] and encrypts files on an individual basis [13:25] bazhang: thanks i forgot about that, and that is right IIRC. [13:25] http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/manuals/xfdesktop gnomefreak from here [13:26] I've had some bugs using encryptfs from 9.04+, like random files on my desktop (or whole destkop) won't decrypt and be FNEK_ [13:26] so it has one masterkey and lots of subkeys [13:26] i dont know how it schedules keys internally\ [13:26] I'd like to report a bug about the panel menu for pidgin. What's the package I should report it on? [13:27] bazhang: i guess not, maybe i was thinking panels when i said i remembered. running xfce4-menueditor from term or from "run" both fail [13:27] philsf, pidgin [13:27] but the advantage of encryptfs + ext4 with native trim might be better then luks FDE (which runs better and faster IMHO) [13:28] * gnomefreak really hates the idea of trying in #xfce [13:29] xfdesktop -menu, and for the windowlist use xfdesktop -windowlist. gnomefreak what about that [13:29] AbhiJit, I thought it should be some indicator-* package, no? [13:29] hi [13:29] i havent run or read about benchmarks so cant comment on that really. having my home encrypted is enough for my security demands so i stick to ecryptfs [13:29] does anyone know how to add the volume controller in the panel? mine seems to be missing. [13:30] philsf, ask in #ubuntu-bugs [13:30] AbhiJit, thanks [13:30] mun_: did you remove teh mail icon also? [13:30] Dr_Willis, um I think so [13:30] mun_: right click - add to panel. You removed the indicator thingy that holds both of those icons. [13:30] mun_: or reset the panel. [13:30] mun_: right click panel > add > indicator applet [13:30] !resetoanel [13:30] does ecryptfs handle swap? [13:30] !resetpanel [13:30] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [13:31] oracle, no [13:31] Dr_Willis, nice [13:31] thanks [13:31] JoeMaverickSett, thanks [13:31] mun_: you are welcome. :) [13:31] oracle: no [13:32] is empathy the default chat client? [13:32] oracle, but you really should run swap on SSD anyway. :) [13:32] *shouldn't [13:32] mun_: yes. [13:32] bazhang: nope the fdesktop* ran from alt+F2 gives me a list of workspaces. the just gives me an error, also both commands give murrin failures [13:32] JoeMaverickSett, but is it actually better than pidgin? [13:32] thunwind, i dont run ssd at all [13:32] maybe in a year === ruben is now known as Guest14106 [13:32] mun_: idk, i use pidgin though. :) [13:33] thunwind: i doubt youĺl notice the difference on a modern ssd [13:33] mun_: i'd say it depends on the user. [13:33] ok thanks [13:33] acicula, difference? [13:33] bazhang: i dont remember it being this hard 1 1/2 years ago [13:33] in lifespan of the SSD when using a swap [13:34] lifespan? [13:34] acicula, ah, wasn't talking about that. Wear leveling will take care of that, but without trim support, you'll only fill up the drive and degrade its write performance [13:34] christ, even my 160GB magnetic has no lifespan limitation. what on earth [13:34] thunwind: modern drives come with spare room and trim support to take care of that [13:35] oracle, modern SDD has 100,000 MTBF [13:35] i see [13:35] dd [13:35] wc [13:36] hi [13:36] running swap or entire osś of early ssd or any crummy usb stick thatĺl break it in no time but other then that [13:36] acicula, It would depend on how full your SSD was. at 90% the reserve space wouldn't last long. :-/ [13:36] Помогите плиз.

I've seen videos of Gnome 3 running Gnome-shell and it looks amazing. However, when I run gnome-shell --replace it doesn't really run all that smoothly. It doesn't look like it does in the videos. I can't switch to different workspaces or anything. Am I missing a package? Is something from xfce interfering with gnome shell's normal operation? I believe it is the latter and I've been trying t [15:42] o make a new gnome-shell session but I can't find any docs on doing it in xfce. Anyone care to help me run gnome-shell properly?

[15:43] shyamgai: If you're asking about creating a new .deb, then #ubuntu-packaging may be able to help you out better than here. [15:43] fujitsu: if there is no part like that, create one, else the global bashrc will be used [15:43] it's called PS1=...... [15:43] Has anyone had problems with apt-get or aptitude? [15:43] :-). The gpg key with which the .deb files were originally signed has expired. [15:44] that is the "part" [15:44] fujitsu: correct [15:44] This is a web app with a: "Press this button to update" [15:45] Vanscot, This is the msg I get when trying to make this DVD. "There is not enough space on temporary directory." [15:45] Vanscot: I would love to but now all I have is a blank black screen [15:45] how do i get ubuntu to ask me for my SSH passwords when i log in? i'm pretty sure that one version of ubuntu did this, but 10.10 doesn't [15:45] LinuxVirgin: check the program settings, it may be trying to use another folder/mount point that's running out of space.

[15:47] doesn't ctrl alt +t take you to terminal [15:47] Sivik: It is Ctrl Alt F1 [15:47] shyamgai: i know that [15:47] didn't hit the right buttons when tryping [15:47] I am using Xubuntu a bit deffer from Ubuntu or Kubuntu [15:47] shyamgai: that doesn't work anyways but i'm in ssh [15:47] Vanscot: i'm in via ssh [15:47] Ok.

[17:17] san_: default app is called Brasero [17:17] i can hidden files and folders, but i can see it [17:17] neurochrome: one can make any folder as hidden if they wish , never matter what the name is [17:17] san_: brasero by default. but the others are 'better' in many way [17:18] there's a nero for linux, but it's not free (but its on demonoid) [17:18] http://tiny.cc/ambubuntu [17:18] pksadiq, how?

[17:18] danieru: did you try running nautilus as sudo [17:18] I dont see much point in using Nero for linux. when k3b and other tools do a good job. [17:18] can anyone say wat app is used in ubuntu for burning ISO? [17:18] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? * [17:18] san_: default app is called Brasero [17:18] san_: we told you. 'brasero' by default.

[17:19] malachai, I created a usb flash pen with it on using unetbootin... then boot from it and at the grub menu there is an option to install to disk... [17:19] Hi #ubuntu. Recently, firefox has been really sluggish, to the point that I cant even click on a textbox in ebay. How do I get firefox to be a tad more speedy? [17:19] nero is great though, but yeah it kinda sucks using commercial software for rather basic tasks [17:19] cylob: That's how I feel when I use an ATM. [17:19] i wish,, i cant get nero on wine at all [17:19] Ok [17:19] THE_GFR|WORK: dd wont make it an iso file. it will make a 'raw' image file of that part of the hard drive. thats not an iso file.

[17:21] trojan_spike: are you sure that nero-linux even has decodeing features? last i checked on it. it did not do video stuff. (that was a year+ ago) [17:21] cylob: yeah I might use chrome, but I'm used to firefox, plus chrome ran really poorly on my laptop last time I used it. Does chrome support tor?

[17:22] san_: you want to make a bootable flash drive from a ubuntu cd iso file. Use unetbootin, or the ubuntu startup-disk creator tool. [17:22] anyone could help me?? [17:22] in ubuntu oly can see it from terminal... nautilus can't see... grub and windows see it [17:22] wackyshut, dta is great.. multiget is a good frontend to wget (standalone) [17:22] trojan_spike: NERO has their own 'linux' version of their program. thats what we were talking about. :) as far as i know it does NOT have the same featureset as the windows version.

[17:22] this is very strange [17:23] Dr_Willis: thank u [17:23] san_: the 'pendrivelinux' web site has other tools that you may want to check out also. [17:23] sorry,, news to me.. i thought yous meant windows nero [17:23] nautilus perhaps needs the perms to be fixed before it will recognise it..

[17:25] Dr_Willis, yeah... skillz [17:25] bluefox83: i belive it can do that.. you could copy the contents of the alternatiove installer cd. to a flash drive. and i THINK it will notice/ask to upgrade [17:25] its pretty easy actually?

[17:55] techbreak what is your skype doing? [17:55] MattLinux, but the backup worked just fine - other than these few files which were all socket errors... I guess i don't really know what a socket error is, nor if any of these files would be extremely nessissary for my backup [17:55] pksadiq, no [17:55] nits, MattLinux cant receive the videos from frens [17:56] MattLinux, nits it was not the case few days before [17:56] just install ubuntu, found out my SSD died :/ what's a good tool to view all my harddrives and partitions, and see how much space they have?

[17:58] yea.. translating blocks and devs is lots of fun too [17:58] MattLinux, they're just zero level files created by daemons that don't need to be backed up - since the daemon controls their creation / destruction. [17:58] DAEMON DESTRUCTION! [17:58] skulltip: your Solid state drive died after how long of ussage? [17:58] * meowsus plays air guitar! [17:58] meowsus ok then if you need anything else later on just let me know =) [17:59] over a year, maybe the buffers filled up? [17:59] MattLinux, what helps? [17:59] skulltip: still under warrenty? [17:59] it might be [17:59] On an old laptop, I ran dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda. Later, my wife told me I had backed up a very valuable document on that machine. I already ran photo_rec on it last night (using a live cd), and didn't find ANYTHING. Any other data recovery tools you know of? [18:00] techbreak usely what they listed for requirments on there is needed for skype you can go to synaptic package manager under System > Administrator to do such [18:00] df -hT will show me the drives and allocations, have to mount them all [18:00] skulltip: ive been watching the prices of those drop. but havent seen to much info on how reliable they are. New laptop i have - has 2 hard drive pays. :) a SDD for a boot drive woule be nice. [18:00] MattLinux, all those r done [18:00] techbreak then it should work fine what type of error you getting [18:00] only put OS on it, use hd for more 'safe' solution [18:01] skulltip: theres always gparted.

[18:02] MattLinux, but other side ppl can see mine properly [18:02] goldfisch: if you did a complete run of dd if=/dev/zero, there is essentially nothing that can recover the data at a software level, and very probably nothing that can be done even if you pay actual data recovery people to try [18:02] techbreak yes. ubuntu and skype alwes had a big issue with video sharing its mainly skypes lack of support for ubuntu at this time hopefully its resolved in 10.10 [18:03] Anyone use SpinRite from Gibson Research?

[18:16] Hi, I've got 2 monitors + Ati card. One of them works fine, on the second I see just a black screen (but I can see the cursor or monitor number in the corner) any ideas? [18:16] Hello. Does anyone know how to change the content of the "desktop-login" variable that is called at startup with canberra? [18:17] monty_hall: I thought the 64 bit player was now in package management... [18:17] monty_hall: otherwise, you can just shove it in ~/.mozilla/plugins unless you'd rather something more central [18:17] the problem is, I have this new computer w/ damaged hard drive. working w/ live 64-bit cd. [18:17] live-cd package manager doesn't have this. [18:17] hi. there used to be a plugin for cpu temperature once. i cant seem to find it. i installed lm-sensors, xfce-sensors-plugin. restarted. but still dont see any plugin [18:18] any clue? [18:18] Huh... Uh. I just did something wrong. Trying to find where the compiz configuration is as love suggested I went into terminal and typed "compiz", got "Starting gtk-window-decorator", screen got a bit messed up, went back to the terminal window, ctrl+c to try to end it, and now things are -really- messed up. [18:18] gladiator: lm-sensors-applet [18:18] if by plugin you mean a gpanel app that is [18:18] monty_hall: I bet it might if you updated :) [18:19] monty_hall: but, yeah, that's silly. just toss it in ~/.mozilla/plugins [18:19] tick software sources apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [18:19] acicula, yes. [18:19] then that, be sure to run sensors-detect first to configure sensors [18:19] thomas82: I've never have any problem with 2 monitors. Detect it with the tool and tune it in right way. The second way ia in using xrandr command. (I used free ati drivers) [18:19] How do I update, is this the same as reload in the package manager? [18:19] reload updates the package lists [18:19] monty_hall: hm. I just checked. still using ndiswrapper in my up-to-date 10.10 - so. yeah. you're better off doing that. [18:19] has anyone here got the Region 2 patch for sims3 for the newest update 1.15.34 ???? [18:19] I "find . -name "*plug*" in .mozilla and I see nothing. Do I just make the dir? [18:20] you need to hit upgrade in the update-manager to actually upgrade [18:20] monty_hall: yeah. make the directory [18:20] thx [18:20] monty_hall: then hit about:plugins to make firefox pick it up [18:20] (or restart of course) [18:21] nemo: success. thx again.

[18:30] haha [18:30] tjc: the joys of cross-platform file naming - funny 'cause windows have banned characters too [18:31] this isn't banned really, just clearly is not quoting correctly [18:31] (to avoid glob patterns - ? is a glob pattern) [18:31] tjc: do it from the commandline for now [18:31] and consider renaming the file to something sane [18:31] so because of network manager starting after login, I cannot connect to box via ssh or vnc without logging in first? wifi [18:32] tjc: what bugs me about that bug is that it was supposedly fixed almost 2 years ago [18:32] cjae: you can but not using nm-applet [18:32] tjc: so, maybe they did a silly fix that only fixed that particular glob pattern. you might want to file a new bug on this [18:32] cjae: set a static configuration using wpasupplicant.conf and /etc/network/interfaces [18:32] i dont know why [18:32] tjc: also. do you need instructions on doing it from the commandline? [18:33] do u thing that with other program its could be solveed? [18:33] solved?

[18:33] (possibly) [18:33] cjae: unless you set the box to autologin so your gui and nm-applet are started [18:33] tjc: er. from archive manager I mean - your current tool. [18:34] ok could u please tell how to do it through command line? [18:34] tjc: is the zip file on your desktop? [18:34] how do you stop programs turning off extra montiors [18:34] no in the download folder [18:34] DragonKeeper: ive never seen a program turn off my extra monitors... what program are you refering to? [18:34] question about "install from linux" with a maverick alternate ISO: the official instructions assume grub not grub2. i don't understand the /etc/grub.d scripts. is there an easy way to get my iso to boot? [18:34] acicula: right, which might be ok since it is on my home lan === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett [18:34] but i could copy it [18:34] in the desktop [18:34] tjc: well. actually, make a new folder on your desktop, say, temp [18:34] Hey, I was updating my grub boot to go from a text only to a GUI boot, but now my encrypted ecryptfs drive won't automount at login anymore. Anyone know the answer to fixing this? [18:35] cjae: dont forget to autostart the remote login then too if you want to use vnc on it directly [18:35] ok [18:35] tjc: move the zip file there, then open the commandline, type. cd ~/Desktop/temp;unzip *.zip [18:35] cdcdcdc: grub2 can boot ISO files.. grub1 cant. The docs may be old if they are still refering to grub1. [18:35] err remote desktop viewer thing or whatever it is you use to run vnc with [18:35] i run a game e.g. sims 3 or AOE 3 and my extra monitors turn off and game is displayed on the main screen [18:35] tjc: it might work in the gui tool if you unpack the whole zip, not just a single file, though. [18:35] DragonKeeper: thats more of a 'wine' issue , then a ubuntu issue. Theres proberly wine settings that can stop it from doing that. [18:36] Hey, I was updating my grub boot to go from a text only to a GUI boot, but now my encrypted ecryptfs drive won't automount at login anymore. Anyone know the answer to fixing this? [18:36] hmm ok [18:36] DragonKeeper: proberly could run the apps in a window, or set wine to run 'in a windowed desktop' setting may smack them into shape.

[18:38] tjc: did you move the zip file to the temp folder ? [18:39] acicula: right, I was looking into wpasupplicant before but couldnt seem to get it work, wasnt sure if I had to edit /etc/wpasupplicant or /etc/network/interfaces [18:39] thevishy: my install is 64 bit and i think borked. i want to install 32 meerkat but I have no CD or usb. so i'm trying 'install from linux partition' method [18:39] hey after I updated my grub 2 boot my encrypted drive won't automount at login. anyone know a fix? [18:40] cdcdcdc: so what OS do you have installed? is it using grub1 or grub2 ? [18:40] do you have a grub ? [18:40] how can i print wit an "command" to a specified uri - like ffgtk-uri:/ for fax [18:40] it's meerkat 64 - grub 2 [18:41] how can I reinstall apt-get?

Do you have dpkg? [18:42] is there, by chance, a third party repository out there that has current versions of firefox and thunderbird? [18:42] thevishy: oh cool thx [18:43] no [18:43] cdcdcdc, do you have a 32 bit ubuntu desktop edition then that page will correctly show you what entry to make in 40custom . [18:43] and then update-grub [18:43] thevishy: I have 32 bit alternate [18:43] Terrance: You may be able to chroot from a live cd and do it that way [18:43] I find it severly annoying that I have to either wait until the next release to get an updated version, or I have to manually download the source and install it side by side with the old version....

[18:45] thevishy: i see that alternate is in there as well i think. what i don't understand is how the install will work if it's booting and installing from the same hd that it installs to. I guess it forces me to partition? [18:45] I got disconnected , last I tried Ubuntu Alternate didnt let me do anything via grub2 :( [18:45] I should have done that before upgrade, but didn't think of it. [18:46] thevishy: oh so i need the desktop. ok np. [18:46] Yes cdcdcd I think that would be the case , but why not install a fresh OS in your case ? [18:46] is it possible to see the (debian) changelog file of a package without downloading the source? [18:46] what files do I place downloaded print drivers? [18:46] i have a sysrescuecd that boots from ISO in that method , but never tried OS installation from there . though it looks like its possible as much . Dr_Willis might know more [18:46] shane2peru: apt-get remove [18:47] hello! [18:47] thevishy: what do you mean by a fresh OS? that is what I am trying to do i thought. [18:47] I mean yes , so you dont have a CD or USB with you ? [18:47] acicula, I probably would be better off in synaptic looking for locales because there are a lot of them. [18:48] Does anyone know how to use an external parallel port IDE drive box with ubuntu ? [18:48] Dr_Willis, when we install OS like that wouldn't that keep the current parition intact ? I mean you cant install on the complete hdd [18:48] question for #ubuntu - Desktop is still ~/Desktop right? [18:48] nothingspecial: /usr/bin/python: can't find '__main__.py' in '/usr/share/command-not-found' [18:48] nemo: yes [18:48] 'cause tjc says he made a folder called temp on his desktop, but ~/Desktop is empty [18:48] thevishy: I don't have either of those. so it will make me partition the HD then i can delete the old partition i guess [18:48] cdcdcdc, do you have another computer ? [18:48] thats what i get i did a chroot [18:49] looping_: once apon a time linux have a driver for those ... [18:49] I was trying to make using the commandline as easy as possible, but tjc has me believing in magic now [18:49] Fine try it out [18:49] thevishy, I think it depends on what options are selected during installation [18:49] Terrance, it sounds like your install is toast, what did you do? [18:49] thevishy: yeah i have an old PC running lucid on the network [18:49] thevishy, as far as the partitions part is concerned [18:49] nemo: did he maybe change his settings so that the desktop as in where the wallpaper is displays the contents of home? it's an option... === synergy is now known as syn3rgy [18:49] maco: ohhhhh [18:49] maco: but wouldn't there be more junk in there then? [18:49] tjc: did you do that? :) [18:49] anyone know anything about libtool? and how i can make it do what I want :) [18:50] nothingspecial: something like sudo apttitude unistall or delete === xero is now known as Guest45378 [18:50] Fine shane2peru , cdcdcdc - you can do PXE install if you have another computer and a cross over cable ( router's cable ) [18:50] i dont remember i was tring to reinstal all my pkgs [18:50] !clang [18:50] thevishy: i think i have one somewhere. i'll look that up. [18:50] i took 2 days to figure out PXE boot properly but its an option if you have no CD and USB . check it out [18:51] why irssi when it feels good gets connected to ubuntu when not says invalid argument?

I can start all programs I use every day, position them as I want and usually do, I've got 16 workspaces and can do everything without mouse (if I'm not browsing or doing some image editing) [18:54] it's real power! [18:54] Terrance: I think you`ve killed it, unless I`m missing something [18:55] tjingboem: try setting vesa as your graphics driver in your xorg.conf - if that's an issue for you to do, try moving your xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup [18:55] Hi all I am trying to run a small python script from crontab. The python script notifies user using libnotify using pynotify module. The code gets executed, but the notification never comes up. Any clues?

You dont want to let just any app access other users X sessions [18:55] blakkheim: The entry to run the script is in the user's crontab only [18:56] I just installed MySQL on Ubuntu 10.10, but I can't seem to access it with just "mysql -u root" as the documentation says I should.

Running the python script as my user works fine [18:57] tjingboem: for example, in upgrading to 10.10 I got things completely screwed up due to fglrx being moved around [18:57] nice to know :) [18:57] erUSUL: I will try that and get back [18:57] nothingspecial: is there a way to install ubuntu on top of the old one witout loosing stuff ? [18:57] pic/music/etc [18:57] tjingboem: fixing it was a real pain, I had to manually remove some paths that were registered in apt, then reinstall the driver [18:57] Terrance: that would be upgradeing the os. [18:57] cdcdcdc, I get "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" [18:57] tjingboem: fglrx being the ATI proprietary driver [18:57] !upgrade | Terrance [18:57] Terrance: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [18:58] Terrance: seperate /home [18:58] gantrixx: how did you install?

[19:01] Terrance: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [19:01] gantrixx: maybe try again with apt-get uninstall and then install? it should ask you to configure a root user plus password on install [19:02] I mean clipboard..... must stop drinking [19:02] thevishy: thnx i think i'll go that route [19:02] just a quick confirmation question... if i run lucid server, i can select for it not to install LAMP?

[19:10] nemo, I was just on facebook chatting with taiwanese people and that seems to be the method they use under windows, anyway. Apparently PinYin only yields simplified characters now (although it is otherwise much more intelligent than the last time I used it). I think I will just use a Simplified to Traditional converter [19:10] erUSUL: but Sagem can't synchronise if plugged after system is loaded [19:10] Galvatron_2:I've read that this could be a hardware issue.

Quick question. I'm thinking of upgrading my T42 (1024x768 display) to a T510 (HD+). I haven't used any wide screen laptop before, and I'm obviously super used to the larger text size. Someone has told me not to upgrade, as I'll think text is just too small, and someone else has told me to upgrade to the T510, but adjust settings in my OS to "increase text size across the board". Is that possible in Ubuntu? Can I run in HD+ resolution bu [19:15] anyone else having problems with startup disk creator ? [19:15] pushpop,chown the file if possible to your home account. then chmod [19:15] m4k, you have to edit /etc/hosts and where localhost is plugin what you want, back it up first. :) [19:15] when i do 'sudo umount /mnt/foo' it says 'device is busy, see manpage for umount.cifs'. any idea why?

[19:45] rusivi: hardware drivers is not there that i see... do i need to install a package [19:45] itsjustme, I'm not sure this meats the live and on demand part, but Openshot [19:46] Hi all I'm trying to change the default web port in the ports.conf after chaging the default listen port I restart apache2 but I can't connect to the site after I change the port. IS there anywhere else I need to change the port? [19:46] FriGiNDesK: Ok, you clicked on System -> Administration and did not see Hardware Drivers? [19:46] "tar -c --file=x.tar" gives me "tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive" [19:46] what to do? [19:46] I would like to create an empty archive [19:47] rusivi: correct i see "additional drivers" but no hardware anything [19:47] napster: why? [19:47] shane4ubuntu: it has to be able to composite live from two video sources. Basically all I need is to activate or deactivate one videostream from a cam in the lower left corner, while the other video source is playing in the main window [19:47] FriGiNDesK: Ok, check out Additional Drivers and see what it has to say. [19:47] pushpop, router? [19:47] hi, just a little question, where can I change the wallpaper (by command line, not by usual gui) [19:48] llutz: To use with one of my program [19:48] brontoeee tryign to access on local lan first [19:48] lol, connecting to ubuntu with irssi like rolling dice, at port 8000 and 8001 [19:48] itsjustme, that is what I thought you meant by live and on demand, but wasn't sure, forget openshot. :) [19:48] hi, im trying to build mysql server in non-root environment but i get this message when running mysql_install_db: ERROR: 1049 Unknown database 'mysql' ?? [19:48] rusivi: onlything listed is the nvidia driver nothing else. [19:48] I've tried booting the 10.10 i386 using two disk drives and a USB drive and I get the following error each time: Busybox... (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squash.fs failed: Input/output error Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [19:49] shane4ubuntu thanks for the suggestion anyway. :) [19:49] pushpop, ok, you do know that you have to specify the port like http://cowserver:81 ? [19:49] !realtek | FriGiNDesK [19:49] FriGiNDesK: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [19:50] Running Ubuntu 10.10 [19:50] someone knows what file contains the wallpaper being used ? [19:50] How do you test a working xampp installation. I can't connect from the outside.Computer demilitirized zone outside router [19:51] rusivi: i've read that however i'm using the 2870 not the 8187b so i didnt follow [19:51] Estragon its no file, its a setting in the gnome-configuration [19:51] napster: I'm not sure tar will let you, you could create an archive with an empty directory though; mkdir x; tar cvf x.tar x/; otherwise might help to know what you're trying to accomplish [19:51] rusivi: WUSB54GC v3 802.11g Adapter [Ralink RT2870] [19:52] Hello, is there an way to blacklist certain device from working? [19:52] FriGiNDesK: I would try the following command at the Terminal: dmesg | grep realtek [19:52] I use my (ubuntu 10.04) laptop to make phone calls thru google voice using a USB headset. I also need to record some of those calls and have been trying to do so with Audacity 2.3.12 but I only get my voice. I followed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/25mx4bd in order to get audio from stereo mix but now, as soon as I connect my USB headset; audio output is lost. What can I do to: 1)... [19:52] ...Recover normal operation of USB headset output and 2) record my phone calls. TIA [19:52] I mean I want mine old integrated bluetooth disabled but keep new dongle enabled, bios doesn't have any switch [19:52] nothing returned [19:52] and OS doesn't seem to have option to kill just one of them [19:53] FriGiNDesk: using grep it's case sensitive so try the different permutations: RealTek REALTEK Realtek realtek [19:53] FriGiNDesK: dmesg | grep -i realtek [19:54] how would i find a playing stream if i wanted to rip it? [19:54] llutz: rusivi: still nothing [19:55] trism: I have a list passed as a parameter in my program. I could remove about n iterations of a loop if I could create an empty archive [19:55] Urg. upgrades and backward compatibility: I cannot run a program anymore due to some sort of change in ncurses with the upgrade to maverick. The error is exactly as described here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/ncurses-based-program-had-to-be-recompiled-on-a-different-pc-same-os-838894/ but in my case, I do not have the source code. Anyone? [19:55] @Frigin -- does lshal and lspci return anything ? [19:55] Okay, some package installed a font called "monospace". It is NOT the one installed by default (dejavu), but it is a font I guess literally named "monospace" and is a courier like font. Can anyone figure out which package installed this? [19:56] probably the wrong channel, but one of my django pages is locking apache, I believe, but I can't find which page it is. Can anyone recommend a tool for finding such a thing? [19:56] I'm curious if anyone else here has experienced a major performance hit when moving from 10.04 to 10.10. I'm wondering if my issue affects a relatively small number of users. [19:56] TomV-415, gnome or everything? [19:56] pdtpatrick_: not for the wireless card. the lspci does, but i can lsusb -v and get the info for my card [19:56] whoops, I typed that in the WRONG wrong channel, haha [19:57] Quadrescence: dpkg -S monospace . dpkg -S does a search on which packages installed the program after the -S [19:57] anyone know how to track down a playing stream? [19:57] brontoeee: I think gnome.. mouse is slow, and basically unusable for me. [19:57] Quadrescence: note - it's pattern match so it'll find any file with the phrase monospace in it [19:57] ok [19:58] TomV-415, i've installed the murrine engine from maverick to lucid and there is some menu-opening speed limit, but still quite usefull [19:58] ok guys.. i got lunch up.. i'll have to get back at this in a bit. thx for tryin i'll be back in like 15... i'll scroll back and see if any suggestions pop between now and then [19:58] napster: found a workaround in the tar manual, try: tar cvf empty-archive.tar --files-from=/dev/null; [19:59] brontoeee: if you google 'ubuntu 10.10 slow' you will see several threads from unhappy users... but I'm wondering if it's been a hot topic here. If not, it's probably only affecting a small number of us. [19:59] Can I simply dd the netbook remix .iso to a usb stick? [19:59] susey: I think there's a bit more to it. [20:00] trism: Just seen it a couple of minutes ago. Thank you :) [20:00] I want to create a DNS server for a LAN to be used by 8-9 system. which DNS server is easiest to install and configure ? [20:00] Bind [20:00] KB1JWQ: So doing dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdd won't make it a bootable usb? [20:00] susey: Not when I tried it. :-) [20:00] KB1JWQ: The problem is, I'm not on Ubuntu right now, nor Windows. [20:01] KB1JWQ: I don't have an "Ubuntu USB bootup creator" [20:01] hello [20:02] susey: what system are you using? [20:02] TomV-415: opensuse [20:02] Howdy ya'll!! [20:03] TomV-415: But I want to put the Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix on a usb stick for my netbook. [20:03] I'm looking at moving a small business to use Ubuntu desktops. Would winbind let users log in through the GUI? In the howtos they show command line login. [20:04] If I'm in a folder and want to copy all the files within that folder to another location how do i do that through terminal? like this "sudo cp * /destinationfolder" or will that copy everything on my drive to that location [20:04] I did that, but what I did was first create a "live Cd" and THEN from there installed regular 10.10 netbook remix (from the downloaded .iso) to another USB drive.. [20:04] susey: install syslinux, run "isohybrid ubuntu.iso" and then "dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/whatever" [20:04] llutz: Never heard of that. I'll try it out. [20:04] I used to use something to mount my 3 SATA drives NTFS at boot. I installed NTFS config but it fails to launch. Any program to try? [20:04] susey: you can use unetbootin to create an usb live [20:05] is there a universal stream ripper in ubuntu? === ubugeek_ is now known as ubugeek [20:05] fwaokda, i think cp -R ./ /new/location [20:05] susey: that should make the iso an hybrid-iso (i wonder why ubuntu doesn't offer that by default) and this you can dd to an usb-device [20:05] llutz: Got it. [20:06] llutz: With the opensuse .iso's, they all can be made into a bootable usb with dd. [20:06] llutz: Nice to learn about the isohybrid trick with syslinux. Thank you. I'm going to try it now! [20:06] susey: all isos today should be hybrid ones [20:06] llutz: what is hybrid iso? [20:06] anyone have experience with winbind? [20:06] !wnbind [20:06] !winbind [20:06] brontoeee, thanks [20:06] susey: check out method 3 in this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:07] After upgrading to Ububtu 10.10 my mounted usb harddrive is disapering efter some time. is there somthing powering my drive down in 10.10 ? [20:07] rohith: thats an iso you can write to cd or usb and it just will boot, without tricks [20:07] !winbind [20:07] I use my (ubuntu 10.04) laptop to make phone calls thru google voice using a USB headset.

TIA [20:07] TomV-415: I'm going to install 10.10 netbook remix to my netbook (hard drive), so the usb stick is only temporary (just to install it.) [20:07] y does ubuntu say all my iso images are not ISO's but i know they work as i have managed to mount burn and install there contents on a different OS [20:07] winbind? [20:08] llutz: thanks man .. its a new info for me :) [20:08] llutz: I did "isohybrid ubuntu.iso" and it finished in less than a second. Is that normal? [20:09] susey: you may want to try both 10.04 and 10.10... I ran 10.10 netbook remix and it is running very slow/unusable on my fairly beefy laptop, but 10.04 runs like a champ... may be some specific hardware configurations don't quite work yet, so beware. [20:09] Try both as liveCDs.. [20:09] seems like there is no support for Ubuntu + small business [20:10] hi all im just wondering which is the best graphical shiny full of gadgets distro? [20:10] TomV-415: I have 10.04 on another laptop. I prefer LTS. But I want to have 10.10 on my "less important" netbook. But I'll still be using the netbook a lot. [20:10] susey: idk, i only used that once long time ago. i'd suggest: try it :) [20:10] Morning guys, so i'm finishing up a script which has to be run with root privileges, and as it makes directorys as root, that becomes the default owner. Is there a command that can give me the logged in user for a variable? (not whoami) [20:11] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. Update manager provided me a kernel update, but after the update the kernel had the same version as before. What happened? [20:11] TomV-415: Yes, going to play with the live usb for 10.10 netbook remix before installing it. Mainly to make sure it plays well with my hardware. Webcam, mic, wireless, etc. [20:11] That update appeared 1-2 days ago (I don't remember) [20:11] Hi. SDs mount fine in Gnome but not KDE. In KDE, get nothing but if I jump into a gnome session, i'm good. help pls [20:11] is it normal, is it a bug, is it the C.I.A. :D ? [20:11] susey: good plan, that's what I did and found problems... [20:11] i asked last night on here and someone mentioned a distro beginning with a lol narrows it down i know but any ideads? [20:11] how can i mount my iso's in ubuntu ? [20:11] I want to create a DNS server for a LAN to be used by 8-9 system. which DNS server is easiest to install and configure ? [20:11] ok fine we will just use Windows 7 now [20:12] ideas* [20:12] cececedojj: why do you think that there is no small business support? [20:12] cececedojj DONT GIVE IN :) [20:12] susey: hmmm 10.10 just didnt fall in love wid my h/w so i have to go back to old sweet 20.04 [20:12] I'm very happy with 10.04 on my other laptop. Really nice job, and the least issues and most stable and consistent. Even after updating every other day or so with the update manager. [20:13] anyone able to answer a question? [20:13] I just don't like the upstream gnome regressions that ubuntu 10.04 includes. :( [20:13] well you can mount iso's in Ubuntu 10.10, by right clicking the iso and selecting Archive Mounter [20:13] cececedojj: Have you checked out http://www.ubuntu.com/support/services ? [20:13] DragonKeeper, rmb, open with archive mounter? [20:13] rohith: 20.04? Daaaaaaaaaaang! [20:13] TomV-415: yes, but i had a quick question up above [20:13] brontoeee it says not 9660 ISO [20:13] susey: 10.04 typo ... just dont care .. :) [20:14] TomV-415: [14:01] I'm looking at moving a small business to use Ubuntu desktops. Would winbind let users log in through the GUI? In the howtos they show command line login. [20:14] rohith: Thought you got a sneak peak into the future.

[20:34] Please help. I use my (ubuntu 10.04) laptop to make phone calls thru google voice using a USB headset. I also need to record some of those calls and have been trying to do so with Audacity 2.3.12 but I only get my voice. I followed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/25mx4bd in order to get audio from stereo mix but now, as soon as I connect my USB headset; audio output is lost. What can I do... [20:34] Kartagis: Er.. What are you doing that is trying to sudo from apache? [20:34] ...to: 1) Recover normal operation of USB headset output and 2) record my phone calls. TIA [20:35] is the wireless connection problem fixed? i've seen a post in the forum where lots of people complain about it and i'm sensing the same issue for me as well.

So far I have 'w -hs | grep gnome-session | cut' .. Im not too familiar with the cut command and was wondering if someone could provide me with the correct syntax [20:35] coder1: open terminal, type alsamixer, press enter [20:35] Pici, run a cgi script, and that script is trying to restart cups [20:35] aeon-ltd: done then === homecable2 is now known as homecable [20:35] Is it safe to update to 10.10 yet via update-manager -d?

[20:36] aeon-ltd: done [20:36] nick3: Do not use 'update-manager -d', follow the proper directions to upgrade. [20:36] Do I have to do a full re-install instead up upgrade? [20:36] brontoeee, naw that wont work the script is run with root privilages [20:36] gary_inNYC: here's an example of someone using that option to do exactly what you asked: http://stuffivelearned.org/doku.php?id=os:linux:general:synapticstouchtricks .

[20:36] Agent001, can you see this? [20:36] coder1: do any of them show 'MM' at the base of the bars?

[20:37] coder1: press 'm' to unmute them [20:37] DCGstudios: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [20:37] Does the common user upgrade their distro, or just wait to do a full re-install? [20:37] IpSe_DiXiT: disable the libnotify plugin in your chat client [20:37] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. Update manager provided me a kernel update, but after the update the kernel had the same version as before. What happened? [20:37] jrib, i did but its too long to explain [20:38] Pici, well? [20:38] nick3 reinstalling is safer [20:38] DCGstudios: well no one can help you if you can't explain your problem [20:38] euthymos: there is a security upgrade for your current kernel [20:38] aeon-ltd: done then [20:38] : securoty updates [20:38] jrib, if you know how to use the cut command, you can help me. [20:38] nick3 but if you backup your data and then upgrade you should be ok if your paranoid about it [20:38] hey [20:38] nick3, it's personal preference, many wait about a month before updates so that any issues can be ironed out [20:38] Hi. I got a program with installing. I'm trying to install netbeans(with sudo apt-get install netbeans), but it gets stuck at "Unpacking replacement libapr1". Any idea, what i can do? [20:38] DCGstudios: no I can't because I don't know what your question is... [20:38] nick3: I always do a clean install, but I use only LTS releases so I don't have to do it that often. [20:38] problem* [20:38] coder1: test sound, using a source that works correctly [20:38] DCGstudios: "man cut" [20:38] jrib, so im working on a variable for a bash script, trying to pull the current logged in user. So far I have 'w -hs | grep gnome-session | cut' .. Im not too familiar with the cut command and was wondering if someone could provide me with the correct syntax [20:38] can you see this? [20:38] DCGstudios, use pastebin [20:38] the man page is useless [20:38] DCGstudios: ask the channel [20:38] DCGstudios: how about "USER=$(id -un)" ? [20:39] n0a1ias: yeah [20:39] I see, and why is the version the same (just curiosity...) [20:39] DCGstudios: use $USER instead [20:39] oh, cool! [20:39] thanks [20:39] Kartagis: I'm thinking. Its not usually a good idea to run www-data will full root priveleges.

I am going to buy a new notebook soon and they are all available with stupid windows only but it's too good (and to expensive!) for just formatting it. Can I resize the partition and put ubuntu on that laptop? or do I need to resize partitions via Windows or .. ? [20:39] how do i install a specific version of mysql with apt-get [20:39] Pici: Kartagis its never a good idea [20:39] DCGstudios: then launch it as your user using sudo and it will be your user [20:39] The thing is that I'm a software developer and am implementing a 3rd party repository. I want to make sure that the upgrade doesn't mess it up. [20:39] DCGstudios: why do you want it? What are you going to do with it? [20:40] ActionParsnip, jrib, for a script variable, it needs to be ran as root. [20:40] 13WAALRED: you can resize the partition, alternatively look for OS free lappys, or ones preloaded with Linux [20:40] 13WAALRED if you want to dualboot windows and linux use wubi [20:40] 13WAALRED: you can buy a notebook without windows [20:40] much easier [20:40] DCGstudios: thats what sudo is for [20:40] coder1: what model of laptop is this? [20:40] ActionParsnip: itz not just the chat client, itz also my connection, everytime i get connected it notifies me about it, and chat as well, and some other things. im talking about those black pop-up windows, its not about pidgin only === 13WAALRED is now known as BajK___ [20:40] aeon-ltd: dell studio1558 [20:40] DCGstudios: if you tell us what you want to accomplish with it, we might be able to tell you of a better way instead of helping you do something suboptimal [20:40] ActionParsnip, then it would output the user as "root", therefore setting the directory owner it creates as 'root', NOT the logged in user [20:41] DCGstudios: w -hs | grep gnome-session|awk '{print $1}' [20:41] okay [20:41] 13WAALRED i have yet to get grub working with a dualboot its too much of a pain the ass [20:41] IpSe_DiXiT: if you want to get rid of it totally remove the libnotify1 package and they will ALL go [20:41] llutz, thank you, someone with compitance. [20:41] Kartagis: I'm thinking that it might be wise to write a script that is owned by root, but setuid so that any user can run it with elevated priveleges. [20:41] 13WAALRED windows likes to think its the only OS that exsists [20:41] coder1: ok i'm researching now, you may need a module to work the headphones socket [20:42] ActionParsnip: kk, but i didnt have this happening with 9.04 since i installed 10.04 its like this, thatz why i thought it was something coming with it, anyway thanks [20:42] llutz, works perfect. well done.

[20:42] FriGiN: when it drops run: dmesg | tail the output will give clues [20:43] nick3: I have upgraded twice from one release to another and both times my system became pretty unstable because of some old configuration files left over. You can call it bad luck, but I ALWAYS do a clean re-install nowadays. [20:43] FriGiN: to see the driver you can run: sudo lshw -C network [20:43] me too [20:43] EddiX, thanks for the advice [20:43] its the 2870 [20:43] johnnyb: sudo iwlist scan [20:44] thank you [20:45] Hi. I got a problem. Whenever i try to install some, it gets stuck at "Unpacking replacement libapr1". How do i fix this? [20:45] is there anyway i can get this to work.. apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 [20:45] Pici, or in that script, run that command with sudo -u user? [20:45] it is saying it wants me to install 5.1 [20:45] shadow98: why do you want 5.0? It seems like 5.1 is what is in the repositories, not 5.0 [20:45] coder1: ok, type or paste this into terminal, 'cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec' [20:46] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/517639/ thats my dmesg | tail output [20:46] jrib: becaues im installing an additional slave into my existing master, slave configuration [20:46] i need same version... [20:46] shadow98: what version of ubuntu are you using? [20:46] Hi, I tried adding windows to my boot menu as in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=610557 but on reboot, I got no menu offered, just booted xubuntu [20:47] FriGiN: is the device pluged into a USB hub or directly into the system? [20:47] jrib: 10.04 [20:47] nick3: No problem. But on the other hand an upgrade might work too, so you might want to try it out first and then do a re-install if the system's not working properly. Anyway, may the source be with you. [20:47] Kartagis: Well my suggestion wouldn't require any interaction once it was run. [20:47] shadow98: in 10.04 only 5.1 is in the repositories, 5.0 is not. I have no idea what you mean by slave and master [20:47] aeon-ltd: any progress?? [20:47] Do people sort of expect programs to break when they upgrade? [20:48] I do [20:48] coder1: yeah apparently this works, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1459518#3 [20:48] nick3: ive seen a lot of problems with it, I always do a clean install personally, less heartache [20:48] shadow98: although now I do... What distro is the master running on? [20:48] jrib: ok that is beside the point..if i want to install version 5.0 how can i do it.. [20:48] ActionParsnip: its direct [20:48] aeon-ltd: lets try [20:48] jrib: 10.01 i think.. [20:48] shadow98: you'll need a ppa then [20:48] nick3, dist upgrades yes, normal upgrades no [20:48] shadow98: there's no such version as 10.01 [20:48] shadow98: the trick is finding a repository that has it... [20:49] Can the cursor in Xubuntu be changed to a solid box (as opposed to a blinking bar)? [20:49] FriGiN: sounds like your power switching on your usb is a bit flakey. Is it any better in a different port? [20:49] ActionParsnip: here is both commands run so you can see it http://paste.ubuntu.com/517645/ right now wireless is disconnected because im connected via easytether via cell phone [20:49] DCGstudios, ok, I won't be that worried about it then [20:49] how do i do that.. [20:49] Hitting "Insert" does so (well, it blinks), but I prefer not to type with "insert" on (or off?) [20:49] shadow98: you should probably use the same distro for master and slave [20:49] I still have more or less the same problems when installing any distro as I had 5-10 years ago, in spite the strides that have been made. Wifi never works out of the box and stable, there's always a problem with either sound input or output, and there's possible video issues too. [20:50] anyone know how i can increase the window resize margine up from the 1 pixel default? [20:50] ActionParsnip: never thought about doing that.. but yes that seems to be what the problem amounts to.. when the desktop goes to sleep or anything it dies, as well if im not transmitting anymore it dies.. [20:50] FriGiN: people are saying it soundslike its not getting enough power [20:51] FriGiN: do you have a lot of usb devices attatched? [20:51] Pici, I got a 500 when I did setuid on the file [20:52] ActionParsnip: no im down to mouse keyboard and wifi atm thought the same i have 2 usb pci headers on my computer atm too.. but not in use [20:52] looks like im using jaunty [20:52] Buttons840: it involves editing the gtkrc of your theme, found in /usr/share/themes. after editing you'll need to reload it [20:52] shadow98: then you need to upgrade anyway [20:52] !jaunty | shadow98 [20:52] shadow98: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [20:53] hey guys, i have an alsa compatible audio input which i can access by specifying the alsa hw-id e.g. hw:1,0 for example with tools such as ffmpeg, however is there anyway i can assign a /dev/name to this sound device so i can use it with other software a little easier? [20:53] FriGiN: is your BIOS up to date? [20:53] ActionParsnip: yes [20:54] How do I get the grub menu to show up on boot? [20:54] how to fix modem sync erroc [20:54] FriGiN: what release are you using? [20:54] RustyBee: hold shift at boot [20:54] RustyBee: hold Esc [20:54] ActionParsnip: 10.10 maverick [20:54] which one? [20:54] ubuntu can't detect it after deconnction [20:54] it's an huawei ec122 [20:54] The Ubuntu wiki lists keyboard problems on the Asus EEE PC 1005PE that can be fixed with a BIOS upgrade. What problems are these? [20:54] FriGiN: try disabling ACPI at boot [20:55] RustyBee: its dependant on your grub version [20:55] RustyBee: my advice : try both [20:55] I shouldn't need to hold anything! [20:55] HEY all! so im looking to take a single background and have it span both of my monitors .. the native res is 3360 x 1050 .. or 1680x 1050 for each [20:55] Has anyone encountered an issue with alien not outputting the package in 10.10? [20:55] RustyBee: you can edit the timeout in /etc/default/grub you should have given more info with your question, dont you think.... [20:55] I know this is going to be kind of dumb, but I am having issues getting things uninstalled. Presently, I am plagued with several copies (I think) of POV-Ray, and I'm not sure how there got to be so many. I checked the SW center, and removed it there, but the two I have found on the filesystem are still there. (not sure, then, what I did remove, if anything) However, Synaptic is showing that... [20:55] ...it is removed now. I think what may have happened was that I installed it via the SW Center, but couldn't locate the files myself since they never appeared in the application menu and I was not aware of where it installed it on the filesystem, so I manually went to the POVRay site and downloaded the files and installed them per their instructions, which was again, vague. Help? [20:56] jawashin: no one sane relies on alien [20:56] i have an entry in /etc/fstab for an external disk: /dev/sdb1 /backup ext4 auto,nofail,defaults 0 0 however, my system fails to load if this disk is missing, although i've specified the "nofail" option. Any ideas here? I've googed it and I see bug reports from 2009, but nothing recent. [20:56] jrib: Welcome to .rpm based packages [20:56] RustyBee: its been part of the boot acceleration project to not show the menu by default - what ubuntu version do you have? [20:56] Can you empty your whole / with sudo and rm? [20:56] CURRENTLY ive got the oversized background centered on both monitors [20:56] Does anyone know of a method for installing to a separate hard drive while already logged into the system? [20:56] ryann: use "noauto" and mount manually later if disk is attached [20:56] acmeinc: if its an internal then no, the power must be off [20:56] jawashin: what exactly are you installing? [20:57] genralli: yes [20:57] llutz: will "noauto" mount if it does exist? [20:57] jrib: I am actually trying to generate a .deb, which appears to be being automatically cleaned up [20:57] I'm just trying to build a bunch of hard drive's with Ubuntu on them. [20:57] ryann: nope [20:57] but I am trying to repackage TSM [20:57] Please excuse me ActionParsnip, I use Mandriva most of the day. [20:57] Spaztic_One: remove the stuff you installed manually [20:57] hm [20:57] ryann: external media should be handled by udev [20:58] jawashin: what is "TSM"? [20:58] RustyBee: that's moot [20:58] no it has a gui boot configuration tool [20:58] jrib Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM's backup product) [20:58] RustyBee: you need to edit the timeout option in your grub config, if you use grub2 you can edit the timeout in /etc/default/grub you dont need a GUI [20:58] which is only available in a .rpm [20:59] one question, when entering echo "$[3*2]" in the terminal it displays the result 6, but when placed in a scriptfile (#!/bin/sh) it wont calculate? [20:59] RustyBee: after you edit ti run: sudo update-grub to apply the setting [20:59] jawashin: you can use alien [20:59] !alien | jawashin [20:59] What do I edit it to cleverclogs? [20:59] jawashin: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [20:59] I know [20:59] Are you sure he doesn't need to just hold shift? Grub2 requires that you hold shift to display the boot menu. [20:59] ActionParsnip: followed "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=317554&highlight=acpi" but neither of the commands (the backup or the gedit command) works i got a blank file when i did gedit [20:59] RustyBee: drop the attitude, k [20:59] the issue is that alien appears to be eating the .deb file [20:59] you too ActionParsnip [20:59] RustyBee: run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub to get write access, then read [21:00] RustyBee: I'm giving you instructions here, theres zero attitude [21:00] RustyBee: stay polite please [21:00] ActionParsnip: lol u anwered me too thx :P [21:00] RustyBee: He doesn't get paid for this, and he's here all the time helping people. [21:01] Since I get some mails forwarded to me as attachments I quite frequently want to drag an attached email to the inbox in Evolution but in 10.04 this doesn't seem to work, it does work on my Debian box - anyone else confirm that they also get this problem..? [21:01] GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 atm [21:01] I am about to do evil things that involve converting to tarballs [21:01] xorwhy: I think theres a dualboot installed and holding shift would be a little tiresome. Grub should just show etc [21:01] i know that! [21:01] but I prefer to run with package management [21:01] in the login screen I can choose between the different window managers I can use (Fluxbox, Gnome, XTerm console, ...)... Where are these stored? I would like to change the command fluxbox starts with... [21:01] ActionParsnip: But then it's not the timeout function, it's the "hold shift to display menu" function. [21:01] RustyBee: ok, for future reference please have some humility, you come here for help and they offer help for free. unless you'd rather contact professional help for extortionate prices please cut the attitude [21:01] aeon-ltd: hey you know problem solved [21:01] evident: you could opt for a .xsession startup [21:02] aeon-ltd: thanks [21:02] RustyBee: you know what? [21:02] ActionParsnip: nvm that didnt give me the kernel options but i got a start there [21:02] if someone ask me which operating system i used is it right to say ubuntu rather linux? for my point of view linux is a kernel...not an operating system.....am i correct? [21:02] coder1: awesome! :), glad i could guide you in the right direction [21:02] I need to re-install GRUB on a nearby computer that does not have internet connection. how can I do this? [21:02] Solved: using a livecd [21:02] I just install ubuntu 10.10 and then updated to the nvidia drivers and everything has broken, I think I need to reinstall [21:02] Solved, pretty sure you can throw in a live cd and run grub-install [21:02] !fixgrub | Solved [21:02] Solved: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [21:02] Is it normal to have to reinstall ubuntu all the time? If I want to use this as my production PC how do I protect all my settings? [21:02] Solved: use a live disk to reinstall grub [21:03] mmk [21:03] Anyways the reason I originally came here; if I remove libwebkit-1.0-2, is it going to break anything assuming I don't use a webkit browser? [21:03] thnx coder1 and DCGstudios, I will try this [21:03] Because mozilla uses that other one I think, the one that netscape used. [21:03] what pulled it in xor? [21:03] xorwhy, out of curiosity why? [21:03] Yautja_cetanu2: "your" settings are always in /home, system wide however are in /etc, having separate partitions helps a little [21:03] DCGstudios: It's 19MB [21:03] jrib: I'm not entirely sure where their scripts installed everything. [21:03] Maybe it's a bug. I was burning this Ubuntu image in Braser, i set it to 16x, but it's burning at 40x [21:04] jawashin: As far as I can tell, it comes installed by default. [21:04] DCGstudios: wait, I want to get rid of ubuntu though [21:04] if someone ask me which operating system i used is it right to say ubuntu rather linux? for my point of view linux is a kernel...not an operating system.....am i correct?

I know this is not as straigtforward as on your usual desktop PC. [21:15] FriGiN: run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [21:15] hmm, ok ActionParsnip. You think the ext3 / ext4 "extension" will kill the SSD? Is any other filesystem also "better" than standard ext3 / ext4? [21:15] FriGiN, all configurations for grub2 are done via /etc/default/grub, or /etc/grub.d/ [21:15] ActionParsnip: sorry yes thats what im in.. however it still doesnt look like the example [21:16] hi there, I was just wondering what happens if I upload a revoke key to another keyserver different to the ubuntu one, will they be sync automatically?, keyserver.ubuntu.com is down [21:16] <][-e-][> alguien habla español ?

I have two desktop computers, and after trying Ubuntu out for a month or so on my newer computer (which also has Windows XP on it), I decided to try and put it onto my older computer. Unfortunately, now whenever I start up my older computer, it runs through an Intel Pentium screen (which tells me to hit F2 if I wish to run setup, and F12 to boot from the network). After this screen, the [21:18] computer beeps, and I get the message: [21:18] error: No Such Device: 4b5b3e5c-77b3-4c56-8fa0-b6ld2db22461 [21:18] grub rescue> (I can type here).

[21:29] no, its a hd installation, its a wireless usb stick [21:29] jenda: click on password tab; Right click over Passwords: login; select "change password" [21:29] despair: backtrack isn't supported here [21:29] !backtrack | despair [21:29] despair: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[21:46] n0a1ias: you want to disable the user-password you mean? [21:46] oh freenode op:) [21:46] ActionParsnip: yes however i put it directly to the mainboard instead of a daughter pci that i have usb 2.0 on.. [21:46] n0a1ias You have to cd to the dir you downloaded the file to [21:46] xorwhy: put the output to pastebin, normally dpkg is not removing other packages [21:46] Since I get some mails forwarded to me as attachments I quite frequently want to drag an attached email to the inbox in Evolution but in 10.04 this doesn't seem to work, it work on my Debian box - anyone else confirm that they also get this problem..? [21:46] n0a1ias so, if you use ff you might have put it in /home/USERNAME/Downloads/ [21:46] what no... [21:46] MaverickXero, do you know anything about panning? [21:46] i just want to install a .deb [21:46] FriGiN: i'd try the usb2 card [21:46] john38: ok but if you take a window (anything, try a web browser) and make it maximized on the tv is it cutting off [21:46] n0a1ias: and i told you how [21:47] iceroot: It's not a big deal, I'm going to ignore that one. Thanks for offering your help though. [21:47] john38: not really [21:47] n0a1ias: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb [21:47] ActionParsnip: thats where it was to begin with to get it higher up in the air for better reception [21:47] FriGiN: the USB drops for some reason [21:47] MaverickXero, no im able to see whole thing [21:47] john38: oh... then your tv is setup right, how big are the video feeds [21:47] yea, i was asking if there was anything else to dype between opening the terminal and that, sometimes people leave out changing directorys and the like [21:48] MaverickXero, how big? [21:48] john38: yeh what resolution is the feed coming in at [21:48] MaverickXero: sure. http://pastebin.com/4YTPJVfk [21:48] MaverickXero, their normal size until i click fullscreen [21:48] n0a1ias We have no idea of knowing where your file is. You will need to cd to that dir or do something like dpkg -i /home/user/blah/blah/file.deb [21:48] ActionParsnip: shouldnt i see the same kinda things happen with stuff like external hdds and such when plugged in? or does the pc automatically recover from the problem before i notice it just wireless wont [21:48] john38: what program is displaying them [21:48] n0a1ias: filename need to be in the same directory or you can specify the full path to the deb file... [21:49] MaverickXero, probably small box at center of screen [21:49] Is there any way to have my computer start with the processor running at maximum frequency? [21:49] FriGiN: it seems to also affect drives too [21:49] xorwhy: normally you dont want that [21:49] xorwhy: you want dynamic stepping [21:49] MaverickXero, i use diffrent feeds everyday this one is FLVZ [21:49] i was told to replace nofail with noauto, MaverickXero.. [21:49] iceroot: I want full frequency when plugged in, and dynamic when on battery. [21:50] Is it safe to format my other partition on this drive, which is on a lower SDA level than my current distro of ubuntu, and move my partition that i am using over? [21:50] last night when i couldnt get it online i watched a good 2+ hrs of tv/movies on my external hdd no loss of video [21:50] xorwhy Do you mean that you want it to be able to run at maximum frequency? [21:50] im getting an error [21:50] http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?hl=us [21:50] anybody here know anything about panning on Nvidia [21:50] dpkg: error processing google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb (--install): [21:50] package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386) [21:50] Errors were encountered while processing: [21:50] google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb [21:50] n0a1ias: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:50] xorwhy There are settings available for that in Power Management [21:50] i didnt mean to send that link [21:50] xorwhy: you can enable it in the energy settings, maybe you need the cpud kernel-modul [21:50] n0a1ias: use the i386 version [21:50] earthmeLon: I understand the purpose of dynamic frequency scaling, but there is a delay. It simply does not up the CPU fast enough when it comes to graphics (compiz). [21:50] there isnt one... [21:51] n0a1ias: dpkg is telling you that you have i386, but you want to install amd64 [21:51] n0a1ias: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [21:51] thatlink that i didnt mean to send was to the download page [21:51] n0a1ias: you have the 64 bit version of the package - you machine needs the 32-bit version [21:51] n0a1ias: of course there is i386 [21:51] anyone can guide me where to find info about how I should setup server? failover/backup and such. I always work in Xenserver, but I'm willing to learn anything. [21:51] ryann: looks good to me, yeh noauto is what you want, but you're saying that makes it request user input if it's not there at boot? [21:51] MaverickXero: yes. [21:51] n0a1ias: user the fist option on the download page '32 bit .deb (For Debian/Ubuntu)' [21:51] !backup | sipp11 [21:52] sipp11: There are many ways to back your system up.

[21:52] n0a1ias: dpkg --print-architectur will tell you i386 [21:52] iceroot: doesn't the chrome .deb install the PPA? [21:52] ActionParsnip: rebooted again .. on the daughter board. lasted bout 5 mins. stil dies. nothing else usb connected but keyboard/mouse. is it pretty well hopeless? [21:53] FriGiN: i'd log a bug [21:53] anybody here know anything about panning or adjusting +0 +0 values on Nvidia [21:53] john38: flvz seems to be a flash based player and that would be the problem... flash on linux has a hard time doing full screen on multi display setups, it thinks your tv is the same resolution as your monitor and that is the problem [21:53] and, if the device is reattached while the box is on, it should remount as /backup.. which is what udev handles. [21:53] n0a1ias: sudo dpkg --print-architecture [21:53] n0a1ias: 'package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)' would suggest that even though you may have a 64bit system you are running the 32-bit version of ubuntu [21:53] n0a1ias: 32bit + PAE can address 12Gb RAM [21:53] MaverickXero, how do i work around that [21:53] john38: either you can make your monitor resolution the same as your tv or just not use fullscreen [21:53] n0a1ias: you can have a 64bit kernel and a 32bit package-system [21:54] ActionParsnip: Thanks [21:54] n0a1ias: or you have pae [21:54] cicatrix1: not the daily ppa ;) [21:54] ActionParsnip: likely response time on that bug rept? cuz i have got to get my pc up and runnin faster than asap. and im thinking at this point the ONLY solution is to to ahead and reformat with win 7 as much as it pains me [21:54] john38: sorry i know that's not the answer u want to hear... [21:54] MaverickXero, the whole point of this was to eventually use fullscreen [21:54] actionparsnip: ... heh [21:54] FriGiN: as long as it takes [21:54] MaverickXero, you anything about panning or the +0+0 values [21:54] n0a1ias: the commandi gave will install the daily build [21:54] ActionParsnip: thats what i was afraid you'd say.. damn 7 it is. what a shame. [21:55] MaverickXero, i saw something online about someone centering it doing that [21:55] FriGiN: No shame in that, whatever works :) [21:55] Do you think he wants the daily? I doubt it [21:55] john38: they won't help you... if you can maximize a browser window and see everything then panning adjustments won't help. the problem is with flash not your tv setup [21:55] it says couldn't find package chromium-browser [21:55] cicatrix1: works great, plus it doesn't have google's tracking snag [21:55] Hey guys. I have a problem where, if i run 'gnome-terminal --command screen' it opens screen with some environmentals that makes it not function right when it comes to colors, but if i open gnome-terminal first and then type 'screen' inside and hit return, it works fine. What is going on here, and how do i fix it? I'm on 10.10 btw [21:56] ryann: understandable... what is the exact prompt it gives you when the drive is not attached on startup [21:56] ChrisBuchholz: Do you have a .screenrc? [21:57] nothingspecial: yes indeed [21:57] MaverickXero, so theres no way around this [21:57] ActionParsnip, it says couldnt find package chromiom-browser [21:57] ChrisBuchholz: Have a look at byobu, it simplifies things [21:57] n0a1ias: did the ppa add ok? [21:57] john38: sadly no, flash sucks (more) on linux [21:57] yes [21:57] i beleave [21:57] nothingspecial: people at #screen recommended me to install screen without it:D [21:57] MaverickXero, when i go fullscreen its 3/4 of the screen then the top is black [21:58] ChrisBuchholz: Well I recommend you try it ...... not that I know anything ;) [21:58] gg [21:58] n0a1ias: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa what is the output? use: http://pastie.org to give the output [21:58] nothingspecial: i will, but i bet i wont tell me why this 'bug' is happening [21:58] hi, I cannot blacklist modules -> irda and smsc_ircc2 I put them into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf they will load anyway [21:58] ;) [21:59] ChrisBuchholz: I don`t suppose it will :) [21:59] mulambo: did you add them prefixed with: blacklist [21:59] MaverickXero, how about if i was connected through D-Sub [21:59] MaverickXero, like the flat panel [21:59] http://pastie.org/1239152 [21:59] yes I did [21:59] ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1239152 [21:59] wifi is painfully unstable :-/ [21:59] john38: the problem is that 1 screen is higher resolution then the other, if you have 2 screens set at the same resolution you will be fine [22:00] MaverickXero, how high do flat panels go? [22:00] n0a1ias: look at the command you ran, compared to what I said to run. You can copy and paste to the terminal you know [22:00] thats what i did [22:00] n0a1ias: I give the full command so you can copy and paste [22:00] n0a1ias: add-apt-repsitory != add-apt-repository [22:01] MaverickXero, i can see the monitor to 1024*758 like tv but it still wont work [22:01] n0a1ias: (21:58:19) ActionParsnip: n0a1ias: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa [22:01] I'm trying to add the medibuntu repository, but I keep getting this error: http://pastebin.com/mB5DdXtJ [22:01] n0a1ias: so, no, you didn't did you [22:01] john38: so you set them both to 1024x768 and rebooted and it still cuts off? [22:01] http://pastie.org/1239156 [22:01] i'm trying to remember the command you use to change java to mean sun-java instead of open-java/ [22:02] n0a1ias: ok then run: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties [22:02] i like ubuntu maverick [22:02] MaverickXero, all i have to do is click Apply that sets it but it still the same if not worse [22:02] Buttons840: sudo update-alternatives --config java [22:02] and then your command again? === Pilif|afk is now known as Pilif12p [22:03] john38: but flash needs to reload it gets the resolution settings on startup [22:03] ActionParsnip, i did that, then ran your command again, and got the same thing [22:03] MaverickXero: that's it, thanks [22:03] kevin_: add this to /etc/hosts 88.191.101.8 packages.medibuntu.org [22:04] has anyone heard of planeshift the mmo if so does anyone know if its safe to install? [22:04] MaverickXero, whevever i reboot settings disappear [22:04] question: have a wifi card (Dlink DWA140 that only works when I use "sudo rmmod rt2800usb") I have to do that every time I boot the computer. Is there anyway of removing that completely so I don't have to manually do the removal every single time? [22:04] MaverickXero, i have to enable twinview again [22:04] n0a1ias: then access software sources, click to add a repo and add: ppa:chromium-daily/ppa to the system [22:04] john38: you have to save settings to xorg config... there is a button for it [22:04] kevin_: then try again [22:04] ActionParsnip, [22:05] MaverickXero, i think if i was able to have high resolution on TV i could get whole picture [22:05] ActionParsnip, ok 1 sec [22:05] ActionParsnip: still getting the same problem after adding that [22:05] ActionParsnip something is loading them obviously? http://pastebin.com/B5jXvCRH [22:05] ftornell: add the module name in /etc/modules [22:05] mulambo: loading what? [22:06] MaverickXero, ok i just saved it I think [22:06] Not to spam but just wondering if anybody who joined since I asked knows: I just updated my packages and the new JDK (I use Sun/Oracle's) came with VisualVM but it doesn't work since the "jdkhome" variable isn't set. What's the "right" way to set this in Ubuntu cause I don't wanna have to do this everytime I update the JDK [22:06] kevin_: so if you run: dig packages.medibuntu.org does it resolve to 88.191.101.8 ? [22:06] ActionParsnip, add the module? i want to remove that module so my d-link works...they collide! [22:06] ActionParsnip cannot blacklist modules -> irda and smsc_ircc2 I put them into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf they will load anyway [22:06] ActionParsnip, it says i need the APT line [22:07] ftornell: then blacklist it in /etc/modeprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf [22:07] mulambo: not sure then [22:07] sweet, ill give it a try [22:07] MaverickXero, now??? [22:08] n0a1ias: add: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu maverick main [22:08] MaverickXero, reboot? [22:08] ActionParsnip: no, 88.191.127.22 [22:08] john38: yes [22:08] kevin_: thats why, its the wrong IP. are you sure you added the line in /etc/hosts and did you save the file ok? [22:09] MaverickXero, should i set them as clones or absolute [22:09] john38: not clones unless that is what you want [22:09] ActionParsnip: I do have it, http://pastebin.com/BThF42RP [22:09] ok [22:10] i tryed that, and then ran the command again, and i got an error saying Broken packages === Jyggaa is now known as Jygga [22:10] MaverickXero.. the error was basically something like "disk is not ready.. press S to skip or M to manually repair" [22:10] ActionParsnip, i tryed that, and then ran the command again, and i got an error saying broken packages [22:11] why does the disk utility in ubuntu tell me i don't have enough components to start the raid? [22:11] Hello [22:11] Hello, what does "Segmentation fault" mean and how can I work around it? I'm trying to mount rar-archives, some work, some don't [22:11] kevin_: looks ok according to many sites [22:11] n0a1ias, if you have broken packages try running "sudo apt-get -f install" from a terminal to see if it fixes it [22:11] I am having trouble connecting to a PEAP network with network-manager [22:12] something keeps forcing the wireless card back to no ESSID when it attempts to connect [22:12] ben_q: you dont mount rar archives, you extract them [22:12] How do I create a symlink in nautilus [22:12] ? [22:12] ActionParsnip, no, I want to mount them [22:12] ben_q: you can't, its not a block device [22:12] ActionParsnip, I don't have space to extract tons of 8gb+ archives [22:13] hahah it works [22:13] MaverickXero, thanks [22:13] ActionParsnip, but why does it work for some archives? [22:13] mount.fuse works fine on some [22:13] ActionParsnip: and when I run the commands to get medibuntu, it tries to connect to this: 87.98.242.110 [22:13] ben_q: archives like what? [22:13] idk whats wrong. [22:13] john38: did it work? [22:13] kevin_: in the command you could change the name for the IP... [22:14] MaverickXero, well now its centered perfectly [22:14] ryann: i'm still looking into this it seems that it's an ubuntu specific quirk [22:14] MaverickXero, i guess the saving then reboot [22:14] ben_q: stupid windows may see an ISO as an archive and show an archive icon but thats only because winrar can extract ISO files. ISO files can be mounted as they are block devices [22:14] mount doesn't require 'block device' to work [22:14] rc.undernet.org [22:14] MEMEyou: you can't mount a rar file [22:15] i didn't say you culd, lol [22:15] MaverickXero, ok let me understand this if i change resolution now on monitor to work firefox is still saved [22:15] #warez-divx [22:15] thank you MaverickXero [22:15] ok you can mount a rar file, there i said it now [22:15] ActionParsnip: when I do that it times out. T_T [22:16] john38: only way to know is to try [22:16] ok [22:16] MEMEyou, actually, no you can't mount a rar file... [22:16] kevin_: you may need to restart networking [22:16] I've found an apparent bug in VLAN operation during Meerkat operation. I've reverted to Lucid, and all is well. But I'd like to report the problem. Advice please. [22:16] ActionParsnip, read: I have mounted rar-archives already with mount.fuse, and it works on some, but not on all archives. same type, splittet rars, sfv-check is clean for all of them [22:16] ZykoticK9: You're missing the point. ;) [22:16] ciao a tutti [22:16] LectricBill: has a bug been submitted? [22:16] ActionParsnip: will a reboot restart networking? [22:16] anyway - anyone know why the disk utility won't start a degraded raid? [22:16] hi all [22:16] there are italians? [22:17] Mathuin, don't know where to look for the reports. That's why I'm asking here. [22:17] !it | shark360_ [22:17] shark360_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [22:17] http://www.winmount.com/Mount_RAR.html [22:17] MEMEyou, lol - what does that have to do with Ubuntu? [22:18] ryann: since this is a server... do you have the gui installed (xorg and gnome/kde) [22:18] what doesn't it? [22:18] yah.. I'M wondering why I get advice for windows here °_° [22:18] did u try using it? [22:18] LectricBill: I found some useful information at the first Google hit on "ubuntu bug report". [22:19] no, I use mount and fuse to mount stuff on linux [22:19] LectricBill, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [22:19] and I like freeware [22:19] mount and fuse arn't freeware [22:20] Mathuin, Yeah, I see that, but foolowing the trail leads to a list that omits meerkat [22:20] ZykoticK9, thanks, I'll take a look [22:20] well, then i must be a damn pirat becaue I didn't pay for them :> [22:20] i think you are confused with what freeware is [22:21] ryann: you still there i think i have a fix [22:21] Hola. Has anyone had any success making uswsusp the default for suspend/hibernate in 10.04? [22:22] MaverickXero yes [22:22] i've been writing a shell script to workaround this for me [22:22] tyebud, suspend works like a charm since lucid [22:22] the external disk is for an rsync script that's crontabbed.. so i added a few lines to check if the device is mounted, trying to mount if it is, and existing if it's not mounted/not found [22:23] ryann: it seems this has been a bug for the past 4-5 releases but ubuntu ignores noauto unless you change a setting in system>preferences>removable drives and media>storage you want to disable mount removable media when inserted [22:23] ben_q: Hmm. I'm getting poor results on my eee. I installed uswsusp and it works a ton better [22:24] anyone know how I can install netbook remix without a clean install from the unr image? [22:24] ryann: once you do that fstab will work like every other distro and not try and mount devices with noauto [22:24] ChogyDan: have you tried installing the ubuntu-netbook package? [22:24] MaverickXero: i think there's a miscommunication. [22:24] I just can't figure out how to get power manager to recognize it. I wouldn't be opposed to using another power manager.. [22:24] fstab is ignoring the device if the device reads noauto [22:25] this is a headless server, by the way [22:25] fstab, however, was not ignoring the device if it had nofail [22:25] is the gtkmm channel still around? [22:25] Mathuin: thanks! looking, any suggestions on any of the rest of the ubuntu-netbook-* packages? [22:25] well, again, does anyone have experience with mounting rar-archives under _ubuntu_ ? I get segmentation faults on some archives [22:25] so there is no way for the drive to mount automatically via fstab at boot without the system still booting properly if the device is absent. [22:25] on ubuntu i want to commandline script the conversion of a sequence of gifs into a PDF. what tools should I be looking at? [22:25] ryann: use neither nofail nor noauto then [22:26] ryann: just set the option to user [22:26] ryann, noauto in fstab = don't automatically mount [22:26] snail: This might not be too much help, but you might have an easier time going from gif to .ps(postscript) first. [22:26] i understand that ZykoticK9. thanks [22:27] ryann: nofail is supposed to prompt you because it's not supposed to fail to mount... you just want it to mount if it's there so just use user [22:27] i want the disk to automatically mount, however fstab breaks during boot if a device listed in fstab is not present during the boot process [22:27] ryann: it should only break during boot on nofail [22:27] ryann, your statement above is true [22:28] well, that's no good for a headless machine! [22:28] ryann: you were saying it breaks with noauto... which it should not because noauto means it isn't trying to mount it, is that what is happening? [22:28] can't have it reboot for whatever reason and fail to come back up, waiting for a keypress! [22:29] Can anyone help me with a keyboard problem? I cannot get the Down Arrow to repeat the move while being held down. Up Arrow does it w/o a problem And it works on KP(2). [22:29] he2, test [22:29] MaverickXero: I'm sorry, no. It is breaking on nofail. The pastebin I sent you had noauto as previously suggested. [22:29] ryann: have you tried just user as the option [22:29] he2, test [22:29] test [22:29] just changed && rebooting [22:29] ryann: nofail was working the way it should, same with noauto, but I don't think you want either of these behaviors [22:30] MaverickXero: this is why I was trying to get udev working with the device, so that it would automatically mount when found. [22:30] ryann, what are you trying to do? why is the device sometimes there and sometimes not? [22:31] ZykoticK9: in a perfect world. the device will always be plugged in and powered on. [22:31] ryann: udev is configured through fstab so i'm not sure I understand what you mean [22:31] but the system is going to be 2000 miles away, and the world is not perfect ;) [22:31] Zykotic9: it's an external backup for a server [22:31] MaverickXero: yes, the device now automatcailly mounted using user as the option [22:31] i will now unplug the device and reboot [22:31] ryann: cool it should work [22:32] !tab > MaverickXero [22:32] MaverickXero, please see my private message [22:32] hi all! [22:32] ZykoticK9: why did you send me a note about using tab? [22:33] MaverickXero, cause you typed my NIC and incorrectly the first time [22:33] which virtualization platform does ubuntu server usually like, xen? kvm? openvz?

[23:05] upgrading but with proposed updates [23:06] ActionParsnip, the guy in that forum thread is solving the problem by reinstalling windows. But why I should do that If i can access to the windows partition ??? [23:06] pepo=>> del key should work on it.. [23:06] coz_, ^^ [23:06] Benkinooby, so...you're good? [23:06] heya guys, i just installed lamp, and i wanna know where the php config files are [23:06] and such files [23:06] jduro: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? [23:06] well that makes sense dan [23:06] : sorry english is not my native language, can you repeat pls? Thx [23:07] notlistening, I see that... mm out of curiosity.. if you do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade are there packages related to sound offered for installation? [23:07] : Del key doesn't work [23:07] pepo=>> delete key should work to get into the BIOS [23:07] jduro: try: sudo update-grub2 [23:07] seidos, no. when i startx the X will be openden at tty5 but i am not logged in at that tty because X is there. so no sound. when i jump back to tty2 sound comes back again :/ [23:07] Jordan_U, /dev/sda1:Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition:Windows:chain [23:07] : Doesn't work. It works with another hard drive or without it [23:08] pepo, depending on the motherboard it could be F2 or delete to get into bios and ... in left field maybe F3 [23:08] ActionParsnip, i already tried it and it gives the same as update-grub [23:08] seidos, to me it seems like my permissions are messed up somewhere so that X can not access/control sound or something. don't knw [23:08] jduro: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/453588 [23:08] : if I delete all partitions from that hard drive, where ubuntu server 10.10 was installed I can enter into BIOS [23:08] jduro: Ok, can you pastebin the output of "sudo update-grub" and the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [23:08] : No here is Del key [23:08] coz_ 2 not fully installed or removed and the second is ubuntu-desktop which depends on alsa as i tried to remove it and stoped it before it killed my desktop [23:08] pepo=>> that's quite odd [23:09] ? [23:09] coz_ no other packages at the moment [23:09] Benkinooby, don't know. i will have to try to do some research. i'm not sure how tty's affect audio. i was under the impression that if sound is configured properly, audio should function in all ttys [23:09] does anyone know the tomcat6 standard password and ligin for webapp manager? ? [23:09] pepo: Have you checked for BIOS updates? This is certainly a firmware bug. [23:09] notlistening, you tried to remove ubuntu-desktop/ [23:09] notlistening, ?? [23:09] Benkinooby, FYI i have also experienced issues with sound and multiple virtual consoles/X sessions. in fact the problem has gotten a lot worse in the last few versions of ?X/Pulse/audio/GDM/Gnome (not really sure where the problem comes from?). good luck man. [23:09] coz_ click happy, I stopped it befor eit processed it [23:09] pepo=>> do have raid build up on the motherboard ? [23:10] notlistening, oh it wanted to remove ubuntu-desktop you mean? [23:10] : I installed a lot of operating systems trying to find an alternative to ubuntu server. I want to make a file server with ZFS, but finally decided to remain with ubuntu server + ZFS [23:10] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/6BvDnw5T [23:10] ZykoticK9, it even was not a problem before. i think somewhere i did something wrong. i changed so mayn things. i don't think i can recover all steps i did. [23:10] notlistening, that's odd... what packages have you installed recently? [23:10] : this motheboard has only 2 SATA ports [23:11] Benkinooby, lol - BEEN THERE! [23:11] coz_ yeah it did as i tried to remove and replace alsa [23:11] pepo=>> how old is this motherboard [23:11] jduro: Ther is a windows entry there. Can you reboot and confirm that you still see no windows option? [23:11] coz_, dpkg: error processing alsa-utils (--configure): is the error i get [23:11] Jordan_U, yes :0 it now shows [23:11] seidos, i also thought sound would not depend on tty ;) [23:11] : 2005 [23:11] ZykoticK9, ? [23:11] Benkinooby, ah, so you're saying that sounds *only* works from a cli, and not in X? [23:11] jduro: :) [23:11] ActionParsnip, Jordan_U, well sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help [23:11] notlistening, and you are trying to install alsa-utils via apt .... yes? [23:11] pepo=>> possibilly has to do with the raid configuration on the motherboard..maybe confuesed or something then [23:12] jduro: np, and you're welcome. [23:12] Benkinooby, so many times I can't "undo" all the steps I have done to something and broken it. [23:12] Benkinooby, are you trying to play audio from gnome or fluxbox? [23:12] : I think that guys from ubuntu changed something in OS partitioning [23:12] coz_ yes [23:12] notlistening, let me check here hold on [23:12] seidos, yes. and on tty only after i logged in at that specific tty [23:12] pepo=>> i have a old 2005 motherboard...that works fine ..never hung asus pd5ad2 [23:12] seidos, fluxbox. but for gnome same problem [23:12] Jordan_U, the only think i did was this -> apt-get install os-prober [23:13] jduro: Ahh, that makes sense then. os-prober is what update-grub uses to detect other OSs. [23:13] : motheboard support RAID0 or RAID1... because it has 2 SATA ports, but I connected only one hard drive 160GB and after that tryed with another 2TB [23:13] ZykoticK9, hm, i could your line a lyrics for a song ;P [23:13] Benkinooby, if you're using fluxbox only - then pulse is not a factor. consider this however, alsa doesn't share audio as well as pulse. [23:13] : I drunk a lot of coffee trying to understand understandable..... :) [23:14] Benkinooby, you might want to try asking in #alsa. i can't think of anything. processing fail. [23:14] Jordan_U, i did recently a dist-upgrade [23:14] notlistening, ok this is a bit puzzling... did you manually "compile" any packages related to sound or any packages at all ? [23:14] ZykoticK9, i am sure i didnt mess with sound stuff. [23:14] Benkinooby, did you upgrade alsa or anything? [23:14] seidos, hm, i think that will be best. thank you for your time and patience [23:14] : I'm sure that ubuntu server 10.10 has different idea of partitioning [23:14] pepo=>> im quite sure it has to do with raid ...it's confused... [23:14] seidos, no [23:14] coz_ just standard install everything [23:14] * ZykoticK9 wonders if Pulse would actually still be running under fluxbox? [23:15] Benkinooby, multitask, they might take a little while to respond [23:15] seidos, i was mainly working on gmd and x system settings [23:15] pepo=>> your motherboard settings are set to raid or something..which maybe doing something funny [23:15] ok [23:15] : I do not have the same hard drives. only 160GB and one 2TB [23:15] notlistening, mm very puzzling... the sudo apt-get update &7 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade wanting to uninstall ubuntu-desktop is what is puzzling me [23:15] Benkinooby, have you tried to see if audio works firefox? [23:16] : set to Enhanced Mode S-ATA, No Raid, IDE detect 0 sec [23:16] pepo=>> that's fine..but the raid settings on those motherboads have issues..my p5ad2 had a big problem installing 9.04 ubuntu but i was able to get into bios [23:16] koz_ the ubuntu-desktop was my fault as i started to remove it but did not let it complete using apt [23:16] Benkinooby, i think firefox will try to bypass pulseaudio if it can't produce sound through it. you might have to kill pulseaudio first for it to work though. [23:16] notlistening, ok since I cant get past that I am going to suggest moving over to both #pulseaudio and #alsa channels ... I am going to guess they have more troubleshooting options than I can come up with [23:16] : how do you explain that this board works well with ubuntu server 10.04? [23:16] coz_ it did not actually begin but apt has registered it as removed [23:17] notlistening, mmm did you try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [23:17] pepo=>> anyway...had to qoute what can be done about it...from my expereince it's the bios settings quite sure about it [23:18] pepo, perhaps you should cross post your question to #ubuntu-server and see if someone there has any suggestions? [23:18] : I want to show you partitions of this hard drive [23:18] koz_ yup can't it depends on alsa so the dependancy is broken and it fails [23:18] pepo=>> sure put it on pastebin [23:18] !pastebin | pepo [23:18] pepo: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:19] notlistening, mm ok then for sure... go to #pulseaudio and #alsa channels [23:19] : Thanks [23:19] i'm trying to find a "RIGHT ANGLE sas ---to---> 4x straight sata" CABLE [23:19] I have managed to boot natively via grub2 on a wubi .disk file. Is it possible to install another distro like opensuse on a .disk file and boot from it? [23:19] seidos, firefox doesnt work, vlc doesnt work [23:19] pepo: Though it may be triggered by some sor of partitioning, a BIOS should not have any notion of partitioning and if any contents on the drive can prevent you from getting into the BIOS menu it is a firmware bug. [23:19] notlistening, dont mean to sound like I am pushing you away...but if no one else has any suggestions those 2 channels would be the ones I would immediately go to first [23:19] Benkinooby, did you try killing pulseaudio before trying firefox? [23:20] If I want to change the name of about 35 files in a folder from filename.php to filename.html all at once, what would be the easiest way? [23:20] Jordan_U=>> that's what we have been discussing..i think it's an old board and it has some BIOS setting which is not set properly [23:20] when dealing with tomcat6 there are environmental variables such as CATALINA_HOME , how can I determin what these are set to? they don't appear to be global env vars, but the must be set somehow in order for the application to function? [23:20] seidos, let me kill sound on the other tty too, one momente [23:20] : and with ubuntu server 10.04 it is not bug? :( [23:21] Benkinooby, sound works in a tty and in gnome over here, fyi [23:21] is there open source rar archivers available or must i download a linux version of winra to extract these files? [23:21] Jordan_U=>> i had those old ones..they were always a pain [23:21] Benkinooby, try running "pasuspender firefox" to disable pulse for firefox and test if that works. [23:21] <[thor]> Pylix: unrar is the free package, rar is the rarlabs package [23:21] notlistening, if you find a solution in either of those channels .. i would be interested in knowing what that was :) [23:21] Pylix: there is rar and unrar on the repos [23:22] ZykoticK9, it is not only FF it is the whole thing [23:22] I have managed to boot natively via grub2 on a wubi .disk file. Is it possible to install another distro like opensuse on a .disk file and boot from it? [23:22] Hey guys, when you do apt-get dist-update, how do you know what it will take you to? It's 6.06 at the moment... [23:22] Pylix, as [thor] mentioned there are two rar versions in ubuntu default repo [23:22] pepo: Yes. Just because a bug can be triggered by a change in Ubuntu does not neccisarily mean that bug is in Ubuntu itslef. In this case, there is no way that the root cause of the bug could be Ubuntu. [23:22] does anyone know where to set the username password in tomcat6? [23:22] Will editing the BIOS according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869249 effect my windows install?

[23:28] Sikth, to change the filenames, mv *.php *.html [23:28] mobasher: The thread is locked and two years old. [23:28] : http://imagebin.org/119641 [23:28] billy, Not really sure. I'm working on it now. I'll let you know as soon as I find out though. [23:28] seidos: i want audio back on my gui. i dont care about sound on my tty [23:28] Garandir, good question...you may want to follow that first link on that page to ask that question [23:29] DanRose: ko sorry. just a noobie helpin out best i know how.. which isnt best by any means, thought it'd give you a suggestion or two. tho ive been hearing ppl say even from 10.04 to 10.10 you should do reinstall. [23:29] seidos: i will reinstall gnome. this shoudl fix it. [23:29] pepo=>> hd looks fine..but i still think its your bios..i donno my instincts tell me ..lol [23:29] Benkinooby2, may the ubuntu be with you [23:29] : How it's possible that installing ubuntu server 10.10 halt desktop at BIOS screen? [23:29] coz_: They don't support Linux, so I can't ask. [23:29] Garandir=>> try to put a new posting referencing the old one.. [23:30] seidos: thx. i am a bit depressd that my intention to sepped up the system and to make it better ended in sh*t :P [23:30] billy, that only works for single files apparently, it gives an error [23:30] Garandir, oh boy...and you have already tried to install ubuntu on this motherboard? [23:30] Benkinooby2, suspend (s3) is your friend [23:30] reinstalls are wor Windows. IMAO. [23:30] : Ok... I will try to find a BIOS update and try again with ubuntu server 10.10, but this is.... I have no comments.... [23:30] can I reinstall with dkpg or apt ? I don't want to purge the package [23:30] bdpkg* [23:31] coz_: Yes, I'm trying to fix the ACPI problem they intentionally inserted for Linux users. [23:31] Garandir, if you do what it's telling you to do, and don't mess it up; and if the instructions do what the instructions claim to; then it should not affect your windows install. [23:31] pepo=>> try to go over the bios settings and their actions in detail rather doing upgrade..update wouldn't be a bad idea [23:31] seidos: i am used to suspend a lot, but i wanted to learn more about the bootprocess and wanted to optimize my X [23:31] pepo: Some manufacturer's BIOSs do crazy things. I've made a USB stick that will cause most Apple firmware to hardlock when it's plugged in even if the primary boot device is not USB. This indicates a bug in Apple's firmware, as the description of your problem indicates a bug in your computer's firmware. [23:32] seidos: ok, thank you again for your help ZykoticK9 [23:32] exit [23:32] I'd be making backups of everything just in case, and get the correct flashing software for the BIOS (assuming/hoping that the affected code is part of that flashing, which you'd expect I guess) and take a flash-tool based backup of the BIOS as well as a backup of the file you edit in Linux. [23:32] quit [23:32] Well [23:32] quit [23:32] DanRose: I figured it would not, since it compiles on Linux. [23:33] Actually I wouldn't, I'd just do it and live without windows if it broke, but *you* should do the backups. [23:33] Garandir, oh man.... not sure what to say other than you could try the changes mentioned there at some risk.... call and complain to the company... perhaps ask for bios update.... check for bios update... other than that I am at a loss... unless you try the #ubuntu-hardware channel ... I believe they exist [23:33] : I made everything with bios, default setting and etc... nothing. BIOS halted after ubuntu server 10.10 installed. I want to mention again.... this problem happens only with version 10.10... not with all ubuntu families [23:34] what kind of bios do you have [23:34] i'm having trouble i extracted the unrar tgz file and in there is these hpp and cpp files but how would i go about installing it? i still can't extract rar files [23:34] coz_: The motherboard isn't even listed ANYWHERE on the site. Not even on discontinued. [23:34] Garandir, yikes [23:34] Pylix, what are you trying to install [23:34] pepo: the bios is nothing to do with ubuntu [23:34] unra [23:34] Garandir, what is the motherboard model number? [23:34] unrar [23:35] it's in the repos [23:35] c51gu01.. That's sad I've memorizedit. [23:35] you don't need to build from source [23:35] pepo=>> here is the hardware supported on ubuntu..go thru there and see if can dig something out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [23:35] Pylix, sudo apt-get install unrar [23:35] does anyone know a usenet binary upload application for ubuntu server 10.04 that is accessible over a network [23:35] dany: what do you mean ? [23:36] ikonia : Something like yenc powerpost [23:36] dany=>> try ubuntu one [23:36] !ubuntuone | dany [23:36] dany: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone [23:36] pepo: Can you boot from CD while a hard drive with Ubuntu 10.10 is plugged in? [23:36] is that some kinda command? [23:36] Pylix, yes [23:36] mobasher usenet and ubuntu one are two completely different things. Thank you for your input though [23:36] seidos, ZykoticK9 muhahahahahahahahah, it works. after installing ubuntu-desktop [23:36] open a terminal by pressing ctrl-alt-t [23:37] then paste that in [23:37] dany: most new clients can do uploads [23:37] it installs unrar [23:37] dany=>> didn't know the usenet so gave u an option :) [23:37] : How? it's impossible, because BIOS is halted...

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 ..."

[23:44] ikonia, 2009 ;) [23:44] pepo: probably can't deal with the boot loader so can't progress anywhere [23:44] ZykoticK9, the packages i stalled were 3 packages that have screensaver in their name. nothing about sond. anyway. it works :D thank you & bye [23:44] any idea how can I turn off the protection [23:44] btw does anyone know a good wireless N usb 2.0 dongle that works out of the box in ubuntu ?

[23:45] best video card for ubuntu 10.04? [23:45] aeon-ltd: install the package flashplugin-nonfree [23:45] amagee, use "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" [23:45] i have ubuntu 10.10 with kernel lucid.. why kernel maverick don't work [23:45] DeaCon: no such thing as best, research what's supported and meets your budget [23:45] : does it mean that bios check boot loader? but if boot loader is wrong you will see NO operating system... [23:45] amagee: see ikonia's message to me [23:45] hawk3r, if you want the repo so you can install it without building from source it can be installed with: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name && sudo apt-get update [23:45] ah just want something cheap that will work well [23:45] roxdragon: what kernel version do you have [23:46] well frigin i guess we are both ***** [23:46] dany yupp [23:46] dany: no need for language [23:46] roxdragon: I've had that happen to a recent asus laptop too.. Maverick kernels don't boot.. lucid does..

[23:47] when power on my pc show minimal shell [23:47] !wifi [23:47] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:48] and it waqs not supported i had to do all kind of trick with a wrapper. So i rather buy a new one that works out of the box [23:48] roxdragon, is it grub shell or something like a root shell [23:48] mobasher: wifi page in that link is up [23:48] !dontwork | roxdragon ;) i love this factoid [23:48] roxdragon ;) i love this factoid: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [23:48] dany: my problem is this thing will connect for a while and then it dies, ppl said it was a power issue.. ive done everything i can to figure it ouy [23:48] tech2077 it ask for a pass but i can't even follow because it won't let me type anymore :( [23:48] ikonia=>> is down -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs === basix_ is now known as poobu [23:48] dany: ok - so you found out it wasn't supported, and your surprised it doesn't work out of the box [23:48] thats a lot of users [23:48] tech2077 some files failed to download from that [23:48] mobasher: no it's not, I'm reading it now [23:48] Pylix, it doesn't show the characters for saftey, just type and press enter [23:48] is skype still alive on ubuntu? i can't find 2.1 which is rimored to exist and the 2,0.something i have crashes before i can use it for anything [23:49] hawk3r, which ones [23:49] yes, because everything was working so perfectly when i assenled the new media center [23:49] roxdragon, a che punto stai? [23:49] rp2: skype is nothing to do with ubuntu, it's in the partner repos and maintained by the owners [23:49] dany: but you know it's not supported, so why would it work out the box [23:49] Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [23:49] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [23:49] rp2, skype is in the partners repository for ubuntu [23:49] tech2077, root shell [23:49] oh [23:49] hawk3r: contact the PPA owners, we don't support ppas [23:49] siganderson, non riesco a parlare inglese -.- [23:49] ololo [23:49] ok.

I was not asking if someone could make it magiccaly happen [23:50] rp2: i got it direct from skype.com in the linux section its worked out the box and no issues. [23:50] ikonia: except that it won't update after i add the partner repository. am i doing anything wrong? [23:50] shit 3 incorrect attempts [23:50] hawk3r, "ppa-name" stands out [23:50] mobasher: no, I'm reading it in https [23:50] rp2, reloading doesn't work? [23:50] rp2: how did you install it if you didn't have the partner repos enabled ? [23:50] frigin: i tried, but the link is dead. [23:50] Pylix: control your language please [23:50] Pylix, no need for language, it's the password you sign in with [23:51] i don't remember how i installed it. it was 2 years ago. [23:51] np i got it === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [23:51] Check your software sources. [23:51] rp2: remove it, and install it using the repo [23:51] !skype | rp2 [23:51] rp2: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [23:51] i tried to get it from the skype site (fail) and from the canonical partner repository as recommended by the ubuntu help page on sjype (fail) [23:51] i just thought for some reason i had to type sudo 'my pass' [23:51] rp2: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/post-download/ [23:51] FriGiN: please don't recommend that [23:51] FriGiN: ubuntu has the repos setup - use the repos so it's supported [23:52] ikonia: alright then, either way it worked just fine for me. i'll keep it to myself. [23:53] excuse me. i didn't think i was being so vulgar not like it was necessary anyway [23:53] i when I start maverick's kernel I get the shell and not gdm [23:53] Ok , I have this flash drive TDK 8G and I have some stuffs on it.But now when I will try to mount it, it takes longer time for that , and when I'll try to formated or put some other stuffs to it , it wont let me. It says that the drive is write protect. Any help how to turn it off. The strange thing is the Flash drive dont have switch for lock/unlock [23:53] rp2, did you add partner then run the update either GUI or "sudo apt-get update" before installing skype? for partner repo see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20Canonical%20Partner%20Repositories [23:53] Angelov: Is the drive used alot? [23:53] Does it work on other systems? [23:54] no [23:54] ykotic9: yes, i did. no effect. skype is till at 2.0.something [23:54] rp2: then an update has not been released [23:54] Angelov: How are you trying to format it? Can you pastebin the exact error message? [23:54] rp2, oh so it is installed? [23:54] frigin: thanks. when i open that page with firefox, the "Ubnto 8.10 30bit" link on it is dead. in chrome it isn't . weird [23:54] I will try to paste it, give me a sec [23:55] FriGiN: you shouldn't open that page - use the repo [23:55] oops sorry [23:55] rp2: you shouldn't open that page - use the repo [23:55] in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash , it has "before" and "after" versions of /etc/apt/sources.list, but the before and after are exactly the same. [23:55] rp2: if you installed it without the repo, using the repo won't allow it to update, as the system is not aware of skype from outside the repo [23:55] Ubuntu 10.10, sudo apt-get build-dep gimp and I get: Ignore unavailable target release 'lucid' of package 'gimp' - why does build-dep assumes I'm using Lucid? [23:55] ikonia: for the 3rd time: the repo doesn't give me 2.1 [23:56] ok ok [23:56] thanks [23:56] so how do i uninstall it?? [23:56] rp2: for the final time the update probaly hasn't been released [23:56] install seems succesful save the odd msg debconf: unable to initialize frontend Dialog [23:56] rp2: depends how you installed it [23:56] Since i made an upgrade to 10.10 on my usb stick, when i boot the stick on my notebook the keyboard layout is completely wrong and I can't change the layout . However booting the stick on other pcs is no problem. also booting the stick via qemu shows the corret layout. [23:56] anyone knows? [23:56] any odea [23:56] idea [23:56] ryrych: gimp is in the repos, you don't need to build it [23:56] How do I move from 6.06 to 8.04 on the CLI? [23:57] !upgrade | DanRose [23:57] DanRose: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [23:57] ikonia: I want to build from trunk [23:57] just a note for anyone else here building from source, check repos first [23:57] ikonia: i dont have the repo, dont rightly know the best way to get the repo, and its already installed and working. [23:57] ryrych: why ? [23:57] FriGiN: sorry, I meant that message to go to rp2 [23:57] ikonia: to try it out? [23:57] Jordan_U: Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdc1: Read-only file system [23:57] ikonia: is a bug or a normal behaviour of build-dep? [23:57] ryrych: then look at the gimp instructions on how to build it [23:58] ikonia: yah i just saw that sorry between the laptop and installing 7 on the desktop cuz ubuntu hates my usb wireless card. [23:58] i may have installed it from a .deb from skype.com ... how do i uninstall it? [23:58] ryrych: it's not a bug - it's a dependency failure [23:58] rp2: remove the deb [23:58] ryrych, check if you have dep problems [23:58] Jordan_U: That happens when I'm trying to format it [23:58] tech2077: how? [23:59] ikonia: my question is: how? [23:59] i'm rnning aptitude remove skype now [23:59] rp2: thats a start, but that will only remove debs it knows about (won't know about the one you installed outside of it) you'll have to use dpkg
