[00:02] Alpha: does it have to do with 255.255.0.0 or /16 or something? i don't know how i enter the correct value [00:02] ubuntu_mad1: Try "apt-get -f install". [00:02] does fail2ban have anything to do with Ubuntu log-in access ? [00:03] Rob235, yes - although you could see what happens after you make a copy of your home directory [00:03] what do you mean === ToAsTcfh is now known as toastcfh [00:03] the size of it? [00:03] grid_: thats 192.168.x/16 or 10... /16 or /24 but you should know this [00:03] yeah [00:04] is that the only reason its bad? [00:04] graingert: Dont you know supernetting btw ? [00:04] hello, im ripping my hair cus youtube arent working propperly, it runns poorly and sometimes (often) doesent even finnishes a videoclip, how come? i guess it has something to do with the flash suport?

[00:04] btw im using mint [00:04] cause i have it on a separate partition [00:04] Alpha: but what subnet mask do i need to enter if use 172.16.1.1 for my device [00:04] Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/Kc8VbYYW [00:04] !repeat | anygivenname [00:04] anygivenname: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[00:05] ok [00:06] Rob235, you may do - it's an idea to make a backup first [00:06] Rob235, make a dd backup of your /home fs [00:06] Jordan_U is there light at the end of this tunnel? [00:06] Is Ubuntu Netbook supported here? [00:06] MindVirus: yes [00:06] graingert, thats a big backup hah [00:06] bn [00:06] i dont see why id need it but ok [00:06] grid_: I could but i need a little break. Kiss baby :) [00:06] Ubuntu Netbook is slow and buggy. [00:06] i downloaded and installed usb-creator via sudo apt-get install usb-creator, now how do i run it? [00:07] Rob235, you can get rid of most of your big files from the backup then :p - videos won't break it so don't copy those [00:07] fallore: You probably want usb-creator-gtk.

[00:07] fallore: System>Admin...> [00:07] Alpha: how much break you need? otherwise i go to my kitchen first [00:07] Rob235, you'll need to not use dd for that [00:07] graingert, i have a 30gb virtualbox hard drive file in my home dir for mac os x [00:07] anygivenname: I think it only works for ssh, maybe this is what you're looking for?

[00:10] msn and gmail [00:10] MindVirus: well tbh, I haven't used the netbook remix [00:10] Flare183: So why would you help? [00:10] 172.16.1.1 this i use with gadmin, and there i get a subnet error [00:10] maraja1, not sure about the app start time [00:10] what i need is a subnet :) [00:10] MindVirus: Because, I know a good bit about Linux overall [00:10] grid_: 255.255.255.0 [00:11] Flare183: I want to fix the problem rather than evade it. erUsul: msn, gmail [00:11] i check it [00:11] OK. Any ideas? [00:11] hold :) [00:11] graingert i was thinking in returning to lucid. Can i uninstall mutter on netbook edition? [00:11] Somelauw: today there was an update to the msn protocol... but if gamil fails too i dunno [00:11] maraja1, you might be able to login with 2D enabled... that was on lucid [00:12] Jordan_U [00:12] maraja1, from GDM there is a dropdown that will let you choose between desktop managers [00:12] Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/CdNajNHg [00:12] maraja1, check in there - my netbook is not to hand [00:12] maraja1: you can install anything on netbook edition, it's just a fancy setup of the gui to give you more screen space [00:12] /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf line 122: subnet 172.16.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0: bad subnet number/mask combination.

[00:12] erUSUL, So does that mean nobody can use empathy+hotmail? [00:12] Unity also causes my GTK theme to explode. === Pilif12p_ is now known as Pilif12p [00:13] grid_: nothing that looks correct [00:13] MindVirus, what are your system specs? video card & driver? etc........? [00:13] slidinghorn: It's not my system. [00:13] Dulak: are you sure? [00:13] Alpha left? [00:13] MindVirus, then why are you saying "my gtk theme"? [00:13] graingert i tryed launch on desktop mode, the problems continues... Didint like Unity too [00:14] maraja1, phreaky [00:14] think i am returning to lucid [00:14] Got a question not really related to ubuntu, but I'm rather new to irc and was wondering if theres anyone who knows some fun channels with quizbots~? [00:14] i'm working with http://gadmintools.flippedweb.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=32 [00:14] grid_: that is your own machine right? is it connected to a router? [00:14] slidinghorn: You're going to tell me that my hardware will make GTK switch themes. [00:14] cant launch Chrome too [00:14] Somelauw: fixes this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/papyon/+bug/663670 [00:14] Dulak: it is just my dhcp server, the second nic, it is not connected yet [00:14] maraja1, fresh install? [00:14] yeap [00:15] MindVirus, well it can - but it's very unlikely [00:15] ubuntu_mad1: Ok, then open another terminal (or use one that's already outside the chroot) and run "cd /mnt/tmp/; wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic_2.6.32-25.45_i386.deb" then back in the chroot run "dpkg -i /tmp/linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic_2.6.32-25.45_i386.deb". [00:15] MindVirus, well #1 "explode" != "switch themes" #2...i thought it wasn't your hardware? [00:15] graingert: Because it's not the case, it's actually impossible. [00:15] MindVirus, no it's not [00:15] slidinghorn: I'm sorry, a miscommunication. It's my system, but the system hardware is not the problem. [00:15] MindVirus, your hardware can do anything [00:15] grid_: 172.16.1.1-172.16.1.254 = 255.255.255.0 netmask [00:15] graingert: Can it fly? [00:15] So is there anyone in this chat running empathy + hotmail without problems? [00:16] hey everyone, I have a quick question regarding pulseaudio's CPU consumption. Would anyone be able to help me? [00:16] MindVirus, if you throw it hard enough.... [00:16] MindVirus, if there was something in your hardware that made it fly the software would have no say in it [00:16] Somelauw: run the update manager you should recieve the update [00:16] graingert: There are sanity checks built in to hardware and software. [00:16] grid_: thats 254 addresses in the subnet [00:16] MindVirus, if your monitor decided to change your walpaper to "leaky lcd crack" that would be it [00:16] graingert: No hardware issue will cause everything to function correctly except for GTK theme. === GO|DFISH is now known as go|dfish [00:16] I am not arguing about this anymore. [00:16] This is stupid. [00:16] I need a solution, not a hypothetical. [00:16] Jordan_U Working at 60% now [00:17] Unity is slow and causes GTK to pick the ugly default theme. Any ideas? [00:17] erUSUL, I am already running it, but no update for empathy. I am running 2.30.2 [00:18] ubuntu_mad1: Ok. Just to explain why I suggested that, the package you currently have downloaded (from apt) appears to be corrupt, so this will download it again then install the newly downloaded package. [00:18] MindVirus, my questions were pertaining more to the "slow and buggy" complaint than the previously non-existent theme change complaint...so.....what are your spec? [00:19] Jordan_U sweet...its downloaded and installing now [00:19] slidinghorn: It is not my hardware's fault. [00:19] slidinghorn: I promise you. === blaze is now known as Guest63759 [00:19] What is the command for creating a new user? [00:19] Diverdude: useradd. [00:19] Somelauw: the update is for a lib pythin-papyon or some such [00:19] Jordan_U its done,no errors that i can see,what now? [00:19] MindVirus, fine, don't give any details to your problem -- just don't expect much of a response [00:19] Dulak: yes, but if go to www.subnetmask.info it will give me a 255.255.0.0 adress [00:19] but i believe you [00:20] I have a server with an app that listens on port 6090, how can I make that port be accessible from anywhere [00:20] sweet [00:20] erUSUL, there is a file called python-papyon. I will wait till the update is ready. [00:20] slidinghorn: Intel Atom 1.6GHz with an Intel integrated video card. It runs compiz smooth as butter with wobbly windows. [00:20] powertool08: thanks....that's it.....it's the setting to lock access if 3 trials fail [00:20] slidinghorn: You must be brimming with suggestions. [00:20] ubuntu_mad1: Now run "apt-get install linux-image-generic" (it may already be installed, but run it just to be sure) then reboot and you should have a bootable system. [00:20] Radeon HD 3650 video card, the system fandomly freezes randomly, with the screen going blank, the computer freezes, I have to force its reboot. suggestions? [00:20] grid_: that's for the entire 172.16.x.x block all the ips that start with 172.16 fall into that netmask you pasted [00:21] ok :) [00:21] Gryllida: What drivers are you using for it? [00:21] anygivenname: np, glad to help. [00:21] MindVirus, look dude, people are here volunteering their time to help...copping an attitude isn't going to help. I suggest you change your attitude [00:21] slidinghorn: Noted. [00:21] grid_: try it, can't hurt I suppose [00:21] Jordan_U ya it says its already at newest version [00:21] MindVirus, ok, do i use the -U flag to inform about the username? [00:21] ubuntu_mad1: Good. Then just reboot. [00:21] Diverdude: The username is the last argument. It requires no flag. [00:22] is there a way that the system gets connected to the network before the log-in ID is entered ? [00:22] Dulak: well i need to setup a dhcp server and i wanna use that range like 172.16.1.2 to 172.16.1.20, but i get errors with the configuration of gadmin [00:22] MindVirus, can you make a small example for me? [00:22] slidinghorn: So, any ideas? [00:22] Diverdude: useradd MindVirus. [00:22] MindVirus, I'm looking [00:22] Diverdude: This will not do much though. [00:22] Jordan_U see you on the other side :-D should i unmont anything? [00:22] Diverdude: I assume you want a home directory. [00:22] Diverdude: Maybe the user needs some groups like "sudo". [00:22] grid_: yeah not sure why, for those ips 255.255.255.0 is the correct netmask [00:22] Dulak: it will not active my dhcp server [00:22] anybody know why lucid lynx had libcv4 but now maverick only has libcv2 ? [00:22] anyone? I have a server with an app that listens on port 6090, how can I make port accessible from outside that machine? [00:22] activate [00:22] ubuntu_mad1: It will all be unmounted automatically during shutdown. [00:23] nope [00:23] Jordan_U ok,back soon....hopefully:P [00:23] Clicking on the big Ubuntu button on the top left corner of my Ubuntu Netbook screen takes the computer a second. [00:23] Gerwin: How would I find out? [00:23] Every time. [00:23] Dulak: i get Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting [00:23] But clicking it again is much faster. [00:24] Click -- slow; click -- fast; click -- slow; click -- fast. [00:24] grid_: you should have 172.16.1.1 setup and live before you try to activate it, I think dhcp checks the config against active interfaces to make sure the config is correct for the environment [00:24] is there a way that the system gets connected to the network before the log-in password is entered ? === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [00:24] anygivenname: What kind of network? [00:24] anygivenname: wired or wireless? [00:24] wifi or wired === leet is now known as Guest87216 [00:25] anygivenname: An ethernet connection should "just work". [00:25] any...i can connect a cable if wifi aint possible [00:25] anygivenname: normally it connects only after the pwd is entered [00:25] anygivenname: Wifi should be possible but if it requires authentication, the authentication must somehow be known. [00:25] anygivenname: install wicd, it will run at boot and give wireless earlier than the network manager [00:26] hey folks [00:26] anyone familiar with using python on linux? [00:26] anygivenname: network manager only works after login, if you want the network working right from boot, wicd will do that [00:26] mylisto: #python. [00:26] mylisto: the guys in #python are [00:26] anyone have success making a bootable usb drive for 64bit ubuntu on a core i5 machine [00:26] wicd will make system gets ip before password is entered ? [00:26] hey everyone, I have a quick question regarding pulseaudio's CPU consumption. Would anyone be able to help me? [00:26] Dulak, if you allow all users to access it then it;s fine [00:26] how do I know what driver I am using for video card on this machine? [00:26] i keep gettting blank screen with cursor [00:26] great [00:26] Dulak, it will work at book [00:26] boot* [00:26] mrafcho011: why not? [00:26] mrafcho011: maybe if you ask the question [00:27] graingert: which? [00:27] MindVirus, so if he has to be an admin, do i do -G adm ? [00:27] Diverdude: What do you mean by "admin"? [00:27] erUSUL: Okay, empathy is working again, thanks [00:27] Diverdude: admin, not adm [00:27] Dulak, Diverdude: No. [00:27] MindVirus, i just mean he should have admin rights [00:27] The "admin" group is not necessary. You probably want "sudo". [00:27] PulseAudio is using betwee 30% and 50% of my cpu just by playing music in rhythmbox. I wonder if this is a common problem and if there are any solutions to it [00:28] MindVirus: to allow sudo access? you add the user to the admin group [00:28] Dulak: No, to the "sudo" group. [00:28] anyone have a clue as to what the heck is wrong with pidgin today? [00:28] MindVirus: you have to be in the admin group to use sudo [00:28] MindVirus: ummm admin [00:28] MindVirus: no - the admin group in #ubuntu [00:28] MindVirus: not sure what distro you are running, but in ubuntu the sudo group is called admin [00:28] Dulak: Oh, that makes sense. [00:29] ikonia: You know your stuff which is why that #ubuntu confused me. [00:29] loldebian [00:29] fb chat on pidgin just wont stay connected [00:29] Yeah, I was thinking Debian. Ignore me. [00:29] Unity is still slow. Come on people. [00:29] And it screws with my GTK theme. [00:30] MindVirus, file a bug [00:30] then when it has me enter the captcha it just acts like i entered the wrong letters [00:30] bazhang: Nobody's even attempted to help with my problem. I don't want to file a solved bug. [00:30] hello, got question related to linux-wireless, anyone could help me? [00:30] !ask | Maniac` [00:30] Maniac`: 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. :-) [00:30] MindVirus: Yeah, you'll drop it, and go to a normal gnome desktop, with 1 panel. Unity still sucks. [00:31] Dulak: So, most people have problems with Unity. [00:31] why does nouveau with modesetting in maverick fail? are there any known workarounds? [00:31] MindVirus: I don't know about most, but I hated it. [00:31] wow...you are by far the rudest person I've ever seen come in here seeking help. Good luck. [00:31] and since i have to disable modesetting, nouveau doesn't work [00:31] slidinghorn: I assume you [00:31] !nouveau [00:31] nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default in 10.04. Currently 3D rendering is unsupported. More information can be found in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ - See also !nvidia [00:31] 're talking to me. I'm rude, and you're bad. [00:31] gday.... i have a pdf that opens fine in acrobat reader (windows)... but when i try to open it in ubuntu, it asked for password.. has anyone had this problem before? [00:32] Dulak, if i want to make an svn user i probably should not give him admin rights right? [00:32] MindVirus, slidinghorn lets move on please [00:32] NeoCicak, try using pdfcrack [00:32] Dulak: I'm thinking I may not be alone. [00:32] graingert: i tried... and it failed [00:32] Shame because the concept is wonderful. [00:32] Diverdude: no, to run an svn server as a svn user you don't want to add that user to admin [00:32] bazhang: Most other ops are less patient. [00:32] How do I know what driver I am using for video card? [00:33] NeoCicak, request an un-drmed copy or use nonfree acrord [00:33] graingert: control panel [00:33] Dulak, what group should the svn user be in? [00:33] graingert: non free acrord? [00:33] ughhhhhhhhhhh pidgin is working like crap! [00:33] acroread [00:33] !acroread [00:33] Diverdude: usually their own group, when you add a new user svn it should create a group called svn as well automatically [00:34] glitchd: please be more specific, if you are looking for help. [00:34] That's funny. === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [00:34] Dulak, so first thing to do at all is to create a usergroup called subversion? [00:34] Jordan_U IM BACK!!! [00:34] whats the difference in 10.04 and 10.04.1 and dont tell me .1 [00:34] Jordan_U thank you sooooooo much [00:34] U-b-u-n-t-u: There's no 10.04.1. [00:35] U-b-u-n-t-u, security updates, an iso with all the stuff added [00:35] ubuntu_mad: You're welcome :) [00:35] U-b-u-n-t-u: There's 10.10. The difference is .06. [00:35] U-b-u-n-t-u, it's like a service pack [00:35] MindVirus, sure there is [00:35] Diverdude: not sure why, when you create a user it gets a unique group automatically [00:35] PulseAudio is using betwee 30% and 50% of my cpu just by playing music in rhythmbox. I wonder if this is a common problem and if there are any solutions to it [00:35] MindVirus, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases <<< this list a .1 [00:35] MindVirus, actually there is a 10.04.1 [00:35] Jordan_U can i kudos you in some way [00:35] Oh. [00:35] U-b-u-n-t-u: the .1 is a point release, basically it is an iso of ubuntu + all the updates up to that point [00:35] Jordan_U tell your boss to promote you? [00:35] I don't like not knowing that. [00:35] graingert, thanks [00:35] aha [00:35] thanks for the info [00:36] Jordan_U my Gnome desktop is still skrewed up but thats another day lol [00:36] ubottu I have a wireless card designed for 802.11p standard (that means 5,8-5,9 GHz band), but when I press: "iw list" I see only 802.11a standard frequencies, where highest is 5825MHz, but I need to use more channels. I guess I need somehow enable CRDA special regulatory domain, but I have no clue where to look and how to do this, would you be so kind to point me at the right docs, please? Thanks in advance [00:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:36] ubuntu_mad: If you know of any job offerings I'd love to *have* a boss :) [00:37] Jordan_U same here,sucks dont it [00:37] for some reason my wobbly windows in compiz doesn't work anymore. yes it's on [00:37] wicd did not connect at boot :( [00:37] Jordan_U right i gotta go to bed. Baby awake in 6 hours [00:37] ubuntu_mad: Yes, but that's more a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic :) [00:38] i restarted the machine & while it was awaiting ubuntu password....i tried to connect to it remotely but it failed [00:38] anyone notice that Lion OSX (soon to be released) new and great features have been standard in ubuntu for a while lol [00:38] slidinghorn, I have a wireless card designed for 802.11p standard (that means 5,8-5,9 GHz band), but when I press: "iw list" I see only 802.11a standard frequencies, where highest is 5825MHz, but I need to use more channels.

Thanks in advance [00:38] :) [00:38] Jordan_U Once again thank you for your time.Much appreciated. [00:38] so the wicd did not connect at boot like it says :( [00:38] UBUNTU COMMUNITY ROCKS!!! [00:38] night all === kaie is now known as Guest55410 [00:39] hey guys when i try to run bf2 with -opengl in terminal i get permision denied [00:39] Hi everyone, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 but the option to "Use the largest continuous free space has been removed.. could anyone help me partition manually? [00:39] how to fix pl [00:39] Having a fun problem with the netbook UI: whenever an app is doing stuff to the screen (so, an app loads), xorg is peged to 100% of the cpu for a minute or two [00:39] pegged, even [00:39] does wicd has a config file that needs to be edited ? [00:40] hmm should i manually create the user directory using mkdir or will useradd do that automatically if i supply it with the -d flag? [00:40] anygivenname: you edit settings by running it from Applications->Internet->Wicd [00:41] !ask | graingert [00:41] graingert, please see my private message [00:41] does anyone understand linux-wireless CRDA tricks ? [00:41] :/ [00:41] need help [00:41] Hi everyone, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 but the option to "Use the largest continuous free space has been removed.. could anyone help me partition manually? [00:41] Diverdude: use the -d flag, adduser is easier to use than useradd btw [00:41] PulseAudio is using betwee 30% and 50% of my cpu just by playing music in rhythmbox. I wonder if this is a common problem and if there are any solutions to it [00:42] hello folks [00:42] metap0d: do you need to keep windows or any other os? or data? [00:42] j #zeitgeist [00:42] aeon-ltd: I just need to keep Windows 7 which is on it's own partition. I purposely left myself free unallocated space on the hdd for this install [00:43] hello anyone familiar with the infamous load/unload cycle bug on battery? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/59695 [00:43] metap0d: there is a option to install side by side with windows === iRob is now known as N00Bnl [00:43] aeon-ltd: I'd rather it be on a separate partition though ... that option tried to combine them side by side [00:44] aeon-ltd: I'm just confused with how to set up my root, swap and home partitions because all the documentation on the web conflicts each other [00:44] Dulak: wicd settings has nothing to enable so that it gets connected at boot before password entry [00:44] pardon the injection here. ubuntu installer has come a long way. Its actually pretty impressive these days. [00:44] im unfamiliar with the issue but my new machine running 10.10, intended for battery usage seems heavily affected [00:44] metap0d: oh ok, do you plan to install any other linux distro, or do you plan to ever reinstall ubuntu? [00:44] even the recovery options for an "install gone wrong" have improved [00:44] anygivenname: It happens like that automatically for any connection you enable for all users [00:45] aeon-ltd: Ubuntu will be my first attempt working under Linux so I really don't know if I plan to or not .. it's best to assume I might [00:45] metap0d: ok, then you need 2 partitions, how much space did you give? [00:46] metap0d, if your just breaking into linux, ubuntu is a good way to get used to a good following and support. [00:46] evilson: I was sold based on the vast amount of documentation alone : p [00:46] aeon-ltd: I have 40.3gb of free space to work with [00:47] any guides on how to install 64 bit ubuntu on core i5 laptop? [00:48] metap0d, I design and maintain very large networks and I need to be able to "speak" to the other systems natively very frequently. Ubuntu on a laptop or two allows that pretty much out of the box without a lot of "research" [00:48] Dulak: how do I totally remove wicd ? [00:48] metap0d, other linux are just fine as well but do require more time and knowledge [00:48] is ssh set up by default on ubuntu server or do i have to do something specific? [00:48] can anyone tell me what to do with a .tar.bz2 file after i extract it? i'm trying to install a wireless adapter on my desktop computer [00:49] metap0d: ok you need a / (root) partition and a /home partition, the root should be around 8+ or up to 15-16gb, its dependant on how much applications you plan to install (i'd say 12gb is fine) then the rest for /home (which will be your userspace containing your personal data including application settings for your user [00:49] Dulak: as after I installed it i did not select all accounts [00:49] so I need to do it all over again [00:49] aeon-ltd: So I won't be needing a swap/virtual memory partition at all? [00:49] anygivenname: dpkg-reconfigure wicd [00:50] hello, I am trying to install LAMP on a VPS running ubuntu 10.04, i did a sudo aptitude install apache2 and got an error 'Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "apache2"'. /etc/apt/sources.list has deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted universe. What am I missing? [00:50] anygivenname: sudo dpkg-reconfigure wicd [00:50] metap0d: a swap file is just as fine (apparantly equal speeds on some sata hdds), how much ram do you have? [00:50] aeon-ltd: 4gb [00:50] says: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root [00:51] metap0d: then a swap file should be fine, just for hibernation etc [00:51] I just read somewhere that it's possible to use Raid 0 with usb flash drives [00:51] hi [00:51] noob question: how would it know which drive is which [00:51] hi there, i have successfully installed this rubygem called svn2git. i have tried adding the /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin to the PATH in ~/.profile i am still getting command not found. please advise. [00:51] Sound Blaster Live Value seems to be broken in Maverick, anyone got any advice on this or should I try to downgrade to lucid kernel? [00:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/658951 [00:52] says: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root [00:52] never mind. i figured it out [00:52] anygivenname: sudo dpkg-reconfigure wicd [00:52] fresh install and didn't do apt-get update [00:52] anygivenname: I forgot the sudo [00:53] time to sleep :) [00:53] see you [00:53] * evilson just realized his customer service skills were gone about 15 years ago. However, helping new people to new things never seems to go away. [00:53] it did nothing with sudo [00:53] hi there, i have successfully installed this rubygem called svn2git. i have tried adding the /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin to the PATH in ~/.profile i am still getting command not found. please advise. [00:54] anygivenname: then 'sudo apt-get remove wicd' followed by 'sudo apt-get install wicd' [00:54] howdie folks [00:54] I'm having some trouble here with one of my drives and hope someone can help me ? [00:55] Kai696: what kind of problem? [00:55] i did so before....it just installed in seconds & it did not ask on accounts like it did the 1st time [00:55] & the 1st time it took longer on installation [00:55] !help [00:55] 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. :-) [00:55] this time seems it found file already available [00:55] doesn't seem I can mount my drive (Sdc1) busy it's busy or already mounted, but I can't access the files [00:56] hi there, i have successfully installed this rubygem called svn2git. i have tried adding the /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin to the PATH in ~/.profile i am still getting command not found. please advise. [00:56] PulseAudio is using betwee 30% and 50% of my cpu just by playing music in rhythmbox. I wonder if this is a common problem and if there are any solutions to it [00:56] attaching using SATA [00:57] aeon-ltd: Thanks man -- the install is underway! [00:57] metap0d: ok best of luck :) [00:57] Kai696: any messages about it in the output from dmesg? [00:58] cfedde, not sure what you mean, sorry not that familiar [00:58] Kai696: are you seeing any other error messages? Is this a brand new drive? a removable drive of some kind? [00:59] mohoin^^ [00:59] I upgraded to 10.10 and am having issues with X crashing/the whole machine freezing when it gets to the logon screen (I have an ATI Radeon 9600 card). Any ideas/thoughts on how to fix this? [00:59] cfedde mind if I switch to private ? [01:00] im having the hd problem with way to many unload/load cycles when on battery [01:00] i used usb-creator to make a bootable USB with a ubuntu 10.10 .iso file, but when i boot my comp with it plugged in it doesn't start. removable devices is the first priority in the boot list, so what could be the problem? [01:00] usprey, explain === leet is now known as Guest70186 [01:01] Dulak: is there a way to remove wicd with all its files ? [01:02] hi guys i am sorry. I have asked 2 times already. no response. [01:02] I have successfully installed this rubygem called svn2git. i have tried adding the /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin to the PATH in ~/.profile i am still getting command not found. please advise. [01:02] removing wicd is like removing iwconfig or ifconfig. Why remove it? [01:02] anygivenname: apt-get purge -f remove [01:03] anygivenname: 'sudo apt-get purge wicd' [01:03] or youcan use synaptic [01:03] evilson: when i unplug AC power the harddisk is parked to frequent so an audible click is heard, the "bug" seems to be old, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/59695, but i cant find any efficient fixes for maverick [01:03] evilson: cause i only selected one account at its setup so I need to do it all over again [01:04] when I check "set group ID" in nautilus permission settings, it auto-unchecks itself. Um. Why? [01:04] UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING PROMISC ALLMULTI... gotta love it [01:05] radioman must have had a bad channel? [01:05] both commands did not work [01:06] i'm on ubuntu 10.10; i've already removed gnomehow do I install the nvidia drivers? [01:06] it was removed & then installed without asking me anything [01:06] is there some command line tool I can run to isntall the nvidia drivers? [01:06] anygivenname, why are you removing it? [01:06] so i could not set it up like the 1st tine [01:06] time [01:06] evilson: cause i only selected one account at its setup so I need to do it all over again [01:06] witch wicd? [01:06] i used usb-creator to make a bootable USB with a ubuntu 10.10 .iso file, but when i boot my comp with it plugged in it doesn't start. removable devices is the first priority in the boot list, so what could be the problem? [01:07] purge did not do anything new [01:07] momentum, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" for the current driver [01:07] it is like remove [01:07] both keep files that the new installation uses [01:07] anygivenname: purge does a remove, then also cleans any config files left behind by remove [01:08] so it doesnt setup properly like I need [01:08] well i did purge [01:08] anygivenname, check it out. [01:08] but then install took 3 secs [01:08] you may find that you want it later right? [01:08] ZykoticK9: nice; thanks [01:08] it resides in -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60 Jan 3 2009 /usr/sbin/wicd sooooo [01:08] last time install tool atleast a minute & it got me the setup screen [01:09] chmod -x /usr/sbin/wicd and just keep it [01:09] you may want it [01:09] this time no setup screen & I could not add the 2nd account.... [01:10] even after i did purge...i found the app on the Applications list [01:11] i used usb-creator to make a bootable USB with a ubuntu 10.10 .iso file, but when i boot my comp with it plugged in it doesn't start. removable devices is the first priority in the boot list, so what could be the problem? [01:11] fallore, i don't know if this still applies! but during alpha/beta for 10.10 if you created the USB in 10.04 it would fail... [01:12] how can I change the default perms of a directory? For example, it seems that 755 is popular with new files/folders in linux. But I dont want that, I want 775 so ANYTHING created in that dir gets 775 perms. How can I do this? [01:12] what's chmod ? [01:12] changes permissions via terminal [01:12] sudo chmod 770 etc [01:12] fallore, there are other usb bootable "gui's" out there. [01:12] google is your friend? [01:12] Roasted, umask determines default permission [01:12] ZykoticK9, hm. is the umask edit-able? [01:13] Roasted, it is - but i've never bothered, hopefully someone else has - or google ;) [01:13] ZykoticK9, by chance do you know if umask can be edited on a per-folder basis, or is it system wide? [01:13] its funny to be in an ubuntu channel and still seeing people use sudo. Its perfectly acceptable I just hate sudo in a single user environment. [01:13] Roasted, umask is system (shell) wide [01:13] not sure what's wrong with sudo [01:13] ZykoticK9, bummer... [01:14] I dont want system wide. I just want it for 1 folder. [01:14] I guess I need windows-style openness with this share and it sucks when stuff is created in 755, requires me to have to reset perms just to keep working. [01:14] Roasted, you want all current files/subfolder be 775 or the default permissions for future creating [01:14] yes, of ONE specific folder [01:14] NOT system wide [01:14] Roasted, not really. just kill the bits on it and you should be fine [01:14] Is there ANY way I can configure a Tri-Head with Radeon and one Graphic card? [01:15] evilson, kill the.. bits? [01:15] Roasted: I guess you want to read about chmod. === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [01:15] Roasted, its a folder right? give me the perms on the folder. [01:15] Muelli, I know about chmod. [01:16] Muelli, the problem is I want two users to read/write to the same folder. They both belong to a gruop, and the perms are 770 on the folder. [01:16] But when they create nw stuff, it comes in as 755, sot he other user cant write - only read. It's extremely frustrating to have to redo perms every efw minutes of the day. [01:16] Roasted: read about chmod and the sticky bit. [01:16] evilson, I do that, but in sub directories below that, and below that, and below that, it doesnt apply. [01:16] sgid [01:16] iess, already did. [01:17] but AGAIN - group ID doesnt matter if the perms are read only - I need RW. [01:17] Roasted, I think you want ' chmod 2775 /path/to/foo' [01:17] Roasted: ah. yeah. I think I get it. hm. *thinking* Dunno if such a thing is possible. [01:17] wheres the 2 come into play? [01:17] Roasted, : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/applying-default-permissions-for-newly-created-files-within-a-specific-folder-605129/ [01:17] Muelli, I'd be EXTREMELY disappointed in linux if its not possible. Sounds like such a "duhhh" thing. [01:18] Roasted, add an alias to their cd 'whatever_folder' to chmod -R 'whatever' and add it to root/.bashrc as an aslias to do just be done with it... thats a lame workaround but it will work [01:18] <__cool__> Roasted: are you talking about a samba share? [01:18] Roasted, if you only cares about the current files/subfolders, 'chmod -R 0775 /path/to/foo' [01:18] samba + local [01:18] dli, I don't understand - why are the perms you're giving me 4 digit instead of 3. why 0775, 2775, etc?? [01:18] Roasted: nah. It's not that common I'd say. But yeah, ACLs might actually help you. They are quite flexible. [01:18] <__cool__> Roasted: on samba it should be 'create mask = 775' in the con [01:18] <__cool__> f [01:18] Roasted, sorry bro not really thinking at the moment its date night with the wife and we already had a few drinks lol [01:18] yea group permissions would look like chmod -R 755 * or g+rw [01:19] PulseAudio is using up ~30% of my CPU when playing music. Anyone know whats going on? [01:19] Roasted, FYI you can't apply "unix" permissions to samba/windows drives... [01:19] mrafcho011: pulseaudio is a mess, i'd just get rid of it and use alsa [01:19] its not a windows drive [01:20] I have 4 drives in my system, each doing something different, so Im using a mixture of samba shares (shared to other machines on ext4 file systems here locally) as well as local shares with multiple users using this rig [01:20] Roasted, the '2' in '2775' means setgid for folder, you can set '4775' to setuid, and '1775' to set sticky, the system default /tmp should be 1777, for example [01:20] Roasted, is it on a windows server or other than local machine? [01:20] Roasted, : looks like you need acl... [01:20] Roasted, 'man chmod' for more [01:20] Roasted: the link says it: smth like: setfacl -R -d -m g::rwx -m o::rx /music [01:20] ahh nvm you answered my question [01:20] blakkheim: Last time i tried getting rid of pulse, i ended up only being able to play one audio stream [01:20] are they in a samba group or local / pam style? [01:20] yeah, Muelli that's confusing as fk. I'll look at it but -r -d - a w- a- d-s -d a-sdf a-s is a little blah to look at. [01:21] Roasted: true. ACLs are not nice to handle. But you'll manage :) [01:21] dli, are you saying with chmod 2775 I can sticky the 775 for ALL new files/folders created as 775? Or would that not do it? [01:21] Roasted, this is an interesting deal...keep talking [01:21] Muelli, probably not. I'll probably just *OH BURN* use windows for the share that needs to be open to the 2 users. [01:21] did you create smb groups as well [01:21] yep [01:21] does smb handle the folder [01:21] <__cool__> Roasted: and then there is 'force create mode' and 'directory mask' .... details in 'man smb.conf' :) if you want something that works locally too, ACLs is the way to go [01:22] Roasted, yes, '2775' will do it for gid, if want uid be kept as well set it '6775', or even '7775' [01:22] Roasted: well. if you're very desperate, you can set up a cronjob :-) [01:22] _____cool - yeah, but thats SAMBA. I want to make it happen locally too. [01:22] <__cool__> dli: that only sets the group, not the writable bit [01:22] Muelli, thats true too... [01:22] Roasted, as UnholyTerror mentioned, i think you need ACLs to accomplish that sort of permission scheme. (i've never used ACLs but understand that's what they do) Good luck man. [01:22] Muelli, and just look it for every 10 seconds fo the day... [01:22] Can anyone tell me why my syslog and kern.log would suddenly fill with gigs of "hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 92"? I see a related bluetooth kernel bug, but I've been using my bluetooth for a while with no trouble until yesterday. [01:22] dli, going to test this now... [01:22] then change the samba.conf and put the perms in it as a directive. If someone untars a folder in there its going to use the standard uncompression for it [01:23] Roasted, for example, the system /usr/src is set to '2775' by default [01:23] __cool__, 775 sets write permission for group [01:23] dli, didnt work [01:23] perms still comes down as 755 [01:23] user and group dli [01:24] what a stupid problem. [01:24] I didnt think it would require friggen ACL's and other garbage to make this fly. [01:24] Roasted: Well, it's not. It's not very easy to solve. You can't really trust a path. [01:24] greetings, all. I need a little help with something, if possible. Anybody here familiar with the DRM/KMS issue with the Intel 845? [01:24] I was like oh simple perm problem I'll ask in the ubuntu chat tee hee :) [01:24] Roasted, its a samba share make your permissions in the samba directives, not the folder itself with chmod [01:24] it should be easy to solve. [01:24] it's such a simple problem. [01:24] I just want new stuff to bring down the permissions of the parent folder [01:24] and it doesnt [01:25] "anything within this folder - data - bring perms" [01:25] Roasted, because system default /etc/profile already sets 'umask 022', set 'umask 002' in your ~/.bashrc [01:25] data = 770, therefore /data/lol = 770 too [01:25] Roasted: it's not a very simple problem :-\ [01:25] EASY! SIMPLE! Why is it so hard. [01:25] Muelli, It's a very simple idea. It's a very stupid problem. [01:25] <__cool__> easy&simple is not the unix way :] [01:25] no kidding [01:25] Roasted, you're trying to apply the way MS deals with permissions to a unix system... [01:25] might as well set this share up on windoze [01:25] are you setting file permissions for groups in your samba config [01:25] ZykoticK9, so what? [01:25] Roasted: I agree. But technically it's not. What about soft and hardlinks? You can't ignore those. [01:25] Roasted, it's simple, but probably not the way of simpleness you thought [01:25] Howdie folks I have a problem was previously unsolved maybe someone good with mounting and unmounting drives can help? USB External drive hangs when it's tried to be accessed [01:26] sigh [01:26] Roasted: but anyway, if you had a separate file system, it'd be easier. [01:26] should post a bug report for this [01:26] would make life so much easier [01:26] Kai696: how do you know "it hangs"? [01:27] * evilson is outta here...date night is a good thing :) [01:27] Roasted, have you tried 'umask 002'? [01:27] dli, umask changes the entire system though, right [01:27] dli: the problem is *per folder* not system wide [01:27] yea roasted do you have in smb.conf + [01:27] <__cool__> Roasted: the problem is, there is no solution :[ ... think: you make a file in /a/b/c... inherit perms from /a oder /a/b or /c? why? [01:27] I suppose I could bite the bullet and do 775 across the system [01:27] I changend my user login shell with chsh. but when staring a new termina, nothing bash is still what opens.. I specified zsh. why is this? [01:28] after all if I create a file it comes in as me:me anyway [01:28] roasted whoops have in smb.conf create mask = 0755 and directory mask = etc [01:28] Muelli because it shows up in disk utility but i can't access it, and it's coming up as not being able to mount because it's busy [01:28] so 775 wouldnt be that much of a burn, especially if "my" group is empty [01:28] Roasted, applying 775 to everything would be a BAD idea [01:28] LWSDesigns, this isnt entirely about samba, its also local too. [01:28] Does anyone have any idea what this error message means? http://paste.ubuntu.com/518381/ MySQL won't start [01:28] ZykoticK9, I dont mean applying 775 to everything - but having 775 across the board for NEW files. [01:28] so if I create new stuff, its 775 instead of 755 [01:29] Roasted, research umasks [01:29] ZykoticK9, that's what I'm talking about [01:29] <__cool__> Roasted: mixing local access with samba acces is not optimal anyway... locking comes to mind... [01:29] i agree but if the samba user doesn't have masks set then your hopeless to open the file locally [01:29] ZykoticK9, if I set the system umask to 775, whats the harm? [01:29] greetings, all. I need a little help with something, if possible. Anybody here familiar with the DRM/KMS issue with the Intel 845? [01:29] LWSDesigns, samba is working, Im talking about the local level right now in particular. [01:29] <__cool__> Roasted: but! you could try a local smbmount to another location and access via that [01:29] such as what, cool? [01:30] btw cool your name is impossible to tab [01:30] Roasted: you know the reasonable thing would be to make a script that scans the folder(s) you want to affect for files that aren't 775 and changing them to 775, and running that from cron every 5 minutes or something. [01:30] __cool__: [01:30] worked for me [01:30] <__cool__> Roasted: here it works 'coo' [01:30] Dulak, yeah, I suppose I could do that, but thats just such a half ass way of making things work. [01:30] not here [01:30] Roasted: not really, you only care about a few folders [01:30] Roasted, from umask i'm not really sure, but i though you where going to just recursively apply a 775 chmod and that wouldn't be to cool. FYI umask is recorded in a subtraction from what you want (or something, it's kinda backwards from normal) [01:31] Roasted: you could as well think about a tiny FUSE to mount over your location. Or mount --bind another folder. Then you can influence those permission properties more easily [01:31] ZykoticK9, yeah, I see that from what Im reading. I'm not talking about recursively barfing out 775. I'm just saying if I cahnge the umask to be 775, it would only effect new files/folders, whereas before it would be 755. [01:31] <__cool__> Roasted: i mean you samba-mount the share on the local machine to somthing like /mnt/loopy ... then all acces goes through samba and respects the samba mask [01:31] how can i remove the lines when i minimize a window without compiz in gnome? [01:31] ZykoticK9, with that being said, if I create a new folder/file, it comes in as me:me 755 anyway. so if it comes in as me:me 775, whats the harm if my group has no members? [01:32] Roasted, sounds fine to me (but i don't really know umask stuff) [01:32] Roasted: I'm afraid your questions blows too many minds in here ;) Too much noise for you ;-) [01:32] Roasted, your group always has you ;) [01:33] ZykoticK9, not by default. === epicbig is now known as biagidp [01:33] Roasted, LOL - i think that the home directories are world readable by default in Ubuntu is terrible! this is kinda related to that. [01:33] Hi. I upgraded to Maverick Meerkat and my OpenOffice.org Impress sounds stopped working. Any hints? [01:33] ZykoticK9, yeah they are - I set my home dir to 770... [01:33] well ZykoticK9. default umask sets your permissions to 755. Hence all the files you create are world readable. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. [01:34] Muelli, umask doesnt change existing permissions. [01:34] it only chnages the default permissions for new files/folders. [01:34] I got java workin [01:34] yay [01:34] Roasted: yes. And water freezes at 0 degrees celcius. [01:34] k. point? [01:35] Muelli, i just found that fact out a little while ago! I consider it a "bug", but it's already been submitted (multiple times) - others disagree ;) [01:35] Roasted: exactly. I don't get yours. [01:35] I have an applet but I don't know where to put it [01:35] Muelli, you said umask means all files are world readable - but umask doesnt change existing permissions... so I fail to see why changing umask is a "oh crap" thing. unless that wasnt your intention? [01:35] how to make terminal's prompt colored? [01:36] so I created a directory for it [01:36] how to make terminal's prompt colored? gnome-terminal could have an option for that but it seems it doesnt [01:36] 10.10 is badass, thanks to all! [01:36] Roasted: read again. I've said: "Hence all the files you *create* are world readable." [01:36] Muelli, ahhhhh hah! [01:36] Could anyone tell me how I might batch re-encode mp3 files sans ffmpeg? [01:36] renatosilva you change your profile views in gnome [01:36] RenatoSilva: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bash+color [01:37] I wonder if I have to log out/back in to apply the new umask setting? [01:37] valros, not really a great idea. lossy to lossy will mean lost quality. (it shouldn't be too hard to do though) [01:37] hey guys, my GDM starts 3 minutes later after boot is complete, what could be the problem ? [01:37] Roasted, if you don't want security, make 'umask 000' globally in /etc/profile, and 'chmod 2775 /path/to/foo' [01:37] <__cool__> Roasted: no [01:37] I just set it to 002 (775) and it didnt work [01:37] dli, I want security of course... [01:37] Roasted: If you run "umask" in your running shell and wnat the umask in that very shell: no. [01:37] Muelli, no I just edited /etc/profile via gksudo nautilus [01:38] Roasted, did you log out/in? [01:38] and saw umask 022 at the bottom and changed it [01:38] currently they are all "corrupt", missing a header [01:38] Roasted: "source /etc/profile" [01:38] ZykoticK9, no, that's what I was asking - do I need to? [01:38] Hi. I upgraded to Maverick Meerkat and my OpenOffice.org Impress sounds stopped working. Any hints? [01:38] Roasted, yes [01:38] brb [01:38] Roasted: no, you don't. ZykoticK9 is wrong [01:38] I mean, depends of course. [01:38] Roasted, if you want security, don't change /etc/profile, make it '~/.bash_profile' [01:39] Muelli, technically you should be able to do it in real time as well (my bad) but loggin out/in is "easiest" [01:39] LWSDesigns: profile views? can I do that through ui or cmd line? [01:39] who said ZykoticK9 was wrong? [01:39] hi [01:40] is there any software to identify any post modification of a scanned image ? [01:40] tuyetmy, md5 the origional, then md5 the new image [01:41] lol [01:41] umask doesnt apply with samba [01:41] how awesome is that [01:42] ZykoticK9, my problem is a little bit confusing. I want to identify if the student actually changed their scanned transcripts by using any image modification software , [01:42] Roasted, i said a while ago you can't apply unix to windows/samba [01:42] ZykoticK9, oh. [01:42] ZykoticK9, so I need to adjust the mask settings in smb I take it. [01:42] tuna-fish, or you mean exif viewer? I think shotwell(gnome) can view exif, try others also, gimp, gpicview, gqview [01:42] LOL [01:43] hi [01:43] Roasted, samba mount is handled in a non-linux way using fstab special stuff (that i don't know, cause i don't use anything windows anymore) [01:43] tuyetmy, or you mean exif viewer? I think shotwell(gnome) can view exif, try others also, gimp, gpicview, gqview [01:43] i compiled a new kernel and now i'm having problems with grub [01:43] can someone help me plz ? [01:43] ZykoticK9, I use samba just for versatility. I have a mac, my brother has a dual boot box, etc so having samba is nice for all 3 OSs. [01:43] tuyetmy, not sure (sounds like you need a time machine) [01:43] Roasted, : you could try 'find' running from cron at 5 second intervals... lots of options. [01:44] batbout, "dpkg -i linux-image-blah.deb", what's the error? [01:44] http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/unix/findcmd.htm [01:44] ZykoticK9, what do you mean ? [01:44] what is a time machine :P [01:44] brb [01:44] yo cousins [01:44] http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=xIQsDaYqaKM8aoNT [01:45] what is this page rendering? [01:45] ubuntu__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === luke_ is now known as lmiller [01:45] tuyetmy, if you know when the image was generated originally, then, exif records the modification time as well. [01:45] I'm using jaunty and that page isn't rendering === ubuntu__ is now known as shadaloo [01:45] dli: i'm booting from a live cd now [01:45] dli, ah, I understand [01:46] dli, how about gimp , inkscape, will they show that information ? [01:46] or simply any command in linux ? [01:46] ls --?? [01:46] anyone? [01:46] tuyetmy, but if the student knows about exif, he/she probably can modify it to fake the origin as well [01:46] shadaloo no flash on the live cd i believe [01:46] hello all is there an upgrade option from 10.04 to 10.10 or do i have to make a new install? [01:47] LWSDesigns: what package should I use? [01:47] dli, is exif more special than gimp or inkscape ? [01:47] tuyetmy: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lmgtfy+exif+viewer+linux [01:47] any suggestions? [01:47] nimbiotics, it is possible to upgrade [01:47] tuyetmy, exif is quite old, so I suppose many software support it, but I have no experience myself [01:47] nimbiotics, you can upgrade [01:47] !flash [01:47] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:47] hey, my indicator-applet has been using 100% CPU since i installed ubuntu and actually prevents other applications from running, what do i do? [01:47] tuyetmy, no, exif is part of image file format [01:47] need a live cd with flash or just install the distro [01:48] 2869 avery 20 0 15732 3568 2884 R 100 0.2 612:12.37 indicator-appli [01:48] Avery, trying killing it from terminal, then restarting it [01:48] LWSDesigns: thanks for your help mate [01:48] ok [01:48] Hi. I upgraded to Maverick Meerkat and my OpenOffice.org Impress sounds stopped working. Any hints? [01:49] looks good now. it was actually indicator-application-service [01:49] should I upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 [01:50] ZykoticK9, gaveen: Thanks! [01:50] U-b-u-n-t-u, yeah its pretty cool :) [01:50] greetings, all. I need a little help with something, if possible. Anybody here familiar with the DRM/KMS issue with the Intel 845? [01:50] Avery, there are enough upgrades to justify the upgrade? [01:50] U-b-u-n-t-u, 10.04 is LTS, 10.10 isn't - something to consider 10.04 is the "stable" release for the next couple of years, or you can upgrade every 6 months. [01:50] hehe [01:51] ah i forgot about stable vs. nonstable [01:51] ZykoticK9, yeah I have considered that and the life of the release [01:51] tuyetmy, yes, just check shotwell and gqview shows exif info [01:51] Can anyone tell me why my syslog and kern.log would suddenly fill with gigs of "hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 92"? I see a related bluetooth kernel bug, but I've been using my bluetooth for a while with no trouble until yesterday. [01:51] ZykoticK9, you still here [01:52] Roadcrosser, yes [01:52] ZykoticK9, tab fail :P [01:52] dli, how to view exif info in dqview ? [01:52] ZykoticK9, what does "Sticky" mean below Set user ID/Set group ID in Nautilus advanced settings? [01:53] Roasted, non-deleteable [01:53] ZykoticK9, meaning even if a user has rwx perms, they cant delete anything? [01:53] Roasted, i "believe" so - but verify [01:53] tuyetmy, gqview, choose View->Exif WIndow, it generates more numbers, to get it more human readable try: shotwell View->Exif Info [01:53] I wonder if that would block samba users even with full perms from deleting [01:53] For some reason, I cannot restore panel to their original status. Is there alternative way? <>?? TIA! [01:54] ZykoticK9: no immutable means non-deletable, sticky bit on a directory means only the file owner can delete it, regardless of group perms [01:54] ZykoticK9, yeah thats what it is - tested it over samba. [01:54] Hi, I am trying to connect with VPN, I went to System->Preferences->Network Connections->VPN and imported a .pcf file. Now how do I actually connect ? [01:54] non deletable. [01:54] I have mail in ubuntu [01:54] How doI check it? [01:54] mail [01:54] Roasted, see Dulak's comment! [01:54] How can I hide a user from Indicator Applet Session? [01:55] ah I see that now [01:55] thanks [01:55] And how can I hide a user from Login? I can hide all but cant choose... [01:55] is it possible to view jpegs in commandline?. [01:56] the_file: maybe with a framebuffer [01:56] the_file, if you can find a working framebuffer and framebuffer image program (i have no ideas) good luck, sounds interesting. [01:56] this is not true "System/Preferences/Login Window, and on the Users-tab you can configure which users are shown." [01:56] uLinux: userdel ;-) [01:57] Muelli: ..lol [01:57] I know its possible to view youtube in commandline [01:57] the_file: yes [01:57] uLinux, outdated [01:57] ZykoticK9: so where can i change it now? [01:57] the_file, I think mplayer works with framebuffer [01:58] uLinux, i only know how to prevent them all from being displayed - i only have all or none. good luck. [01:58] dli, shotwell : view => fullScreen ; just has that option [01:58] yep ZykoticK9 :P [01:58] I have mplayer [01:58] tuyetmy, have you imported your photos first in shotwell? [01:58] I'm failing to see the point of "set user ID". Doesnt that set the owner of the folder as static to whatever is created within that folder? [01:59] the_file, try something like "mplayer -vo aa FILE.avi" ;) [01:59] dli, it's in jpg [01:59] shotwell a.jpg [01:59] For some reason, I cannot restore panels to their original status. Is there alternative way to <>?? TIA! [01:59] I upgraded to 10.10 and am having issues with X crashing/the whole machine freezing when it gets to the logon screen (I have an ATI Radeon 9600 card). Any ideas/thoughts on how to fix this? [01:59] ZykoticK9: yea I just did "mplayer -vo help [01:59] tuyetmy, then, click a photo first, and click 'View' -> 'Extended Information' [01:59] seems like I will use X11 as output device [01:59] the_file, that output is a joke man, i don't know how to do it really. [02:00] dli, there is no "modify" information [02:00] the_file, but try it! [02:00] ZykoticK9: what do you mean?. is it laggy? [02:00] I don't have a video on my computer [02:00] need to download one === emma is now known as EMMA [02:01] isnt Linux suppose to be fully customizable [02:01] to see jpegs in commandline: http://www.icewalkers.com/download/seejpeg/13/dld/ [02:01] I just restarted one of our servers, trying to ssh in again and it says "connection refused" [02:01] Hey, would you guys say is there a major difference in performance between Ubuntu and Arch ? [02:01] guys can you help me? i want a command to be executed ('php wp-mail.php') when my system sense that a certain user has new mail.. it does indeed execute the cmd, BUT the mail is also vanished so i can't fetch it over pop3 the very next instant :( is there any easy way to make the mail stick on pop3? [02:01] is there anything that can be done [02:02] tuyetmy, I think shotwell arranges photos by date :) and display photo time at the left bottom corner [02:02] I think kdm can do selective user hiding, not sure about gdm [02:03] tuyetmy, if you see the modified time be later, it's a clear sign of manipulation, however, the time can be easily reset to whatever, if the user knows exif [02:03] anyone know why the nouveau modesetting in maverick is broken? and how to fix it? [02:03] hi, whats a program that actually works that will allow me to make the puplinux iso become a bootable usb?

[02:03] i don't want to switch to the nvidia official driver - i want to stick to nouveau [02:03] qwertyjustin, you mean unetbootin? [02:03] How possible is it on 10.10 to revert to an older version of ffmpeg? [02:04] i mean, "start up disc creator" doesn't work for pup linux [02:04] Diamondcite: not "users" a user :P [02:04] Today is ALL CAPS day.

[02:09] ok, thanks [02:09] uLinux: I took a random guess as to what Ubuntu's dm is.. so I hope I have it right [02:09] geneller: Do you know if your printer is supported? [02:10] tuyetmy, try this one: sudo apt-get install mapivi , I think it's enough for forensic purposes [02:10] Diamondcite: YES, its supported [02:11] geneller: In that case.. is cups installed? If so visit https://127.0.0.1:631 [02:11] geneller: Administration -> Add printer [02:11] wait , cups not installed [02:11] Could anyone help with me my microphone? All I get is static and a very faint sound of me. Im running Maverick if it helps, and a Soundblaster Audigy SE sound card.

[02:12] Anything that uses the microphone [02:12] and started with ubuntu on boot [02:12] i checked, cups is installed [02:12] Didnt seem to do it until I did a distro upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 [02:13] whats next ?

[02:23] thechitowncubs: It should mount, does it show up it places?

[02:23] but printer its connected [02:24] thechitowncubs: Launch the photo application and see if you can connect via MTP, or tell the camera to run on mass storage mode for USB [02:24] Diamondcite: no it hides every user i mean i have test and test1 users maybe exclude test applies to test1 [02:24] *now [02:24] geneller: May I know the printer model?

[02:29] thechitowncubs: Maybe you can change your camera's mode?

[02:37] right [02:37] Diamondcite: i cant restart GDM without freezing the virtualmachine tried restart and stop. [02:37] geneller: Is the printer busy? is it on? does the off button work? [02:37] uLinux: But this works when the options are not present? [02:38] not, off button its not working, but, nothing its being printed, [02:38] Your printer is frozen (hardlock) [02:38] geneller: turn off the printer, start cups, turn on the printer, try to print something [02:38] geneller: Please cancel the job in cups, Pull your printers power cord, wait 5 seconds, plug it back in and turn it on first, THEN try again. [02:40] ok, i'll try [02:40] can someone tell me how much disk space an ubuntu server installation requires including updates? [02:40] Diamondcite: do you where i can read documentation about GDM configurations settings? tried man gdm [02:41] *know [02:41] uLinux: I was looking at a fedora article.. please stand by.. I need to look it up ^_^ [02:41] :P [02:42] hello,some days before,Iask about samba problem,installed system-config-samba solved the problem,but today still wrong [02:42] Diamondcite: i did it all, but power led still ticking [02:42] randy_: what problem? [02:43] uLinux, umount the windows networking [02:43] uLinux, can't mount the windows networking [02:43] how big are your /swap, /root and /home partitions? [02:43] geneller: So you have the printer on first and then tried printer and it's still frozen? [02:43] Diamondcite: maybe some problem with printer? [02:44] yes [02:44] randy_: that happens to me too. what i do is go to Places > Connect to Server > Windows Share and type the IP of other computer in Server ie 192.168.0.2 [02:44] can someone tell me how much disk space an ubuntu server installation requires including updates? the website says 1 GB but is that really enough ? [02:45] uLinux, I had try this way,but can't mount [02:45] dany: i would think you would want at least 10gb for a system that does real 'work' [02:45] maybe some problems with printer? hardware problems maybe [02:45] randy_: check the network settings [02:45] dany: but it would depend on what the server is doing. [02:45] dr willis its only samba sabnzbdplus and transmission [02:45] geneller: Try with different drivers? I have that happen with my printer every time hplip updates x.x I have a HP Photosmart 7450. [02:45] dany: point of samba is to 'share' files.. so you need file storage.. [02:46] yes and that is where my 4 2 TB drives come in [02:46] but i want to install the base system on an pata flash drive [02:46] dany: my / is about 10gb and its 80% full here on a fully loaded system [02:46] i'll try it in windows, if works there, i'll discard printer problems, else, i'll be back === lxde is now known as Guest89678 [02:46] uLinux, I sure it's not wrong,I use vbox and in nat [02:46] so i need to know is the 2 GB version large enough [02:46] thank you for help [02:46] ok then i know enough [02:46] thank you Dr_willis [02:46] dany: 2gb will proberly be tight after a while. Youi may need to move /var/ or other places elsewhere. [02:47] Soo [02:47] How do I run my java applet? [02:47] Where do I put it in the first place? [02:47] dany: I agree with Dr_Willis. Allow about 10GB for the root partition. Better to overestimate than have to go through the tedium of enlarging the partition... [02:47] español [02:47] java -jar foo.jar [02:47] phillipe, #ubuntu-es [02:47] thank you [02:47] It asks me to do java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui [02:47] gracias [02:47] i will order the 8 GB version [02:47] dany: why not just use a hard drive? :) [02:48] Anyone hear use fluxbox? How can I set a keybinding to open a file in leafpad? [02:48] But it says unable to access file [02:48] hear/here [02:48] Roadcrosser: yes? so whats hard about that? open terminal, cd to where the gamefile is at.. run the command. [02:48] Is it because I made a directory for ir? [02:48] because the 4 sata ports are for my data storage and the pata port is for the os i already have the hardware i only need an pata flash drive [02:48] Roadcrosser: you have to be in the same directory.. [02:48] Roadcrosser, with the redhat kernel? [02:48] .. [02:48] ? [02:48] hmm [02:49] How do I open the directory then? [02:49] Roadcrosser: 'cd' command is used in the terminal. If you dont know about 'cd' and other command line commands. I suggest a bash tutorial or 2 is worth reading [02:49] !bash [02:49] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal === emet is now known as EMET [02:50] thank you for th advice ! very helpfull information [02:51] is it possible to have grub 'hidden' unless you press a button [02:51] say on a 3 second timeout [02:51] semitones: yes. thats the default if you only have windows on the OS. [02:51] err. i mean no windows. only ubuntu :) [02:51] !grub2 | semitones [02:51] semitones: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:51] semitones: its an ANNOYING default from a 'trouble shooting' point of view. [02:52] How many topics are in that bot? [02:52] well playonlinux sucks.... [02:52] Dr_Willis, I dualboot :P I'm looking at the docs right now, so I was wondering if its possible to enable it on dualboot systems [02:52] Dr_Willis, if I need to troubleshoot I'll just switch it back [02:52] let me find some games that run good in 1.3.5 === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [02:53] I just use the normal WINE ubuntunoobz i dont see much need for that Playonlinux [02:53] Theres getting to be a lot of good native linux games out these days also. [02:53] uLinux, no way to solve it? [02:53] hi [02:53] randy_: dont know I dont use samba that much [02:54] (f) [02:54] randy_: #samba [02:54] Linux game site - i found the other day -> http://www.penguspy.com [02:54] ok [02:54] so can i just ctrl alt f1 and restart gdm from there? [02:55] do any one know how to setup pulseaudio server on windows? [02:55] Dr_Willis, the docs say that the hidden grub menu is disabled on multi-os machines... is it disabled until you re-enable it, or completely non-functional? [02:55] moxi: ##windows [02:55] moxi, try ##windows , this is ubuntu only [02:55] BTW whats the -Xms1024M thingy for? [02:55] uLinux, yes log in then either restart gdm or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:55] coz_: ty [02:55] Roadcrosser: some java option. 1024M looks like a memory size.. or buffer.. [02:56] oh [02:56] right [02:56] k [02:56] moxi, you won't get any help in ##windows either, it's not actually a support channel [02:56] Infinite maps [02:56] Heh [02:56] uLinux, that would be sudo restart gdm or log in then sudo -i password again then just restart gdm [02:56] ye [02:56] sorta Inf maps ;) [02:56] windows will be a client to the pluseaudio ubuntu server. [02:56] bazhang, I know for a fact that you are smart [02:56] moxi: /join ##windows [02:57] guys think my laptop can handle enemy territory quack wars? i got the disk lol [02:57] bazhang, can you have the hidden timeout on grub on dualboot machines? [02:57] moxi, i tried to do what you want, best you can do is investigate the use of the esound server instead [02:57] semitones, why not. [02:57] moxi, you might need to use cygwin [02:57] anyone know where i can find a list of 3rd party repositories to add ? [02:57] I am trying to stop unneeded programs. How do I prevent /usr/sbin/modem-manager from starting? [02:57] bazhang, from the docs: " [02:57] The hidden timeout option is available to single-OS computers - if multiple OS's are known to Grub 2, this option is bypassed." [02:58] Sterist, thats offtopic here so no. try #ubuntu-offtopic [02:58] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#grub (/etc/default/grub) [02:58] bazhang i would never have guessed it's off topic. sorry :P [02:58] Unable to access the jar file [02:58] Any reasons? [02:58] good morning [02:58] on the box my laptop is in the system requirements for enemy territory quake wars [02:58] ill try to run it in wine [02:59] Roadcrosser: you trying to play Minecraft? [02:59] RUn an MC server [02:59] oo! [02:59] That's just it [02:59] Only It can't access it [02:59] are the permissions set up? [02:59] bazhang, I basically want the computer to boot into Ubuntu very quickly unless I want to boot windows for some reason. Hence the hidden grub menu [02:59] What's tyhat mean? [03:00] semitones, considered using burg instead ? [03:00] you have to set the .jar file permission so it can be executed [03:00] coz_: worked :) [03:00] airtonix, i've never heard of it... [03:00] uLinux, very cool :) [03:00] How do I do that? [03:00] if you're using regular ubuntu, you can right click on the file to set the permissions [03:00] but I like grub, everybody knows about it [03:01] how do I figure out what program is spawning /usr/sbin/modem-manager? `grep -r /etc/` didn't do it. [03:01] Hey, anyone know where I can go to ask about the differences between 32bit and 64bit Ubuntu? [03:01] semitones, if the goal is to remove the slightly frightening or ugly boot selection screen then i suggest you try burg to make it look sexy [03:01] uLinux, that is actually the most proper way to restart gdm... it shuts down all applications properly [03:01] pm me Road [03:01] uLinux, rather proper way to restart X [03:01] airtonix, that does sound pretty cool, i'll look it up :) [03:02] da844__: ya right here. [03:02] semitones, yeah google images has all the default themes on display if you search for "burg linux" [03:02] da844__: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [03:03] coz_: yeah you mean if i change nvidia settings i dont need to restart right ;) [03:03] semitones, instructions here : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/get-animated-themed-icon-only-grub-menu-using-burg-now-simple-to-use/ [03:03] my main goal is to turn the computer on and immediately get to ubuntu, on a dual boot system [03:03] I use this script http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/index.php?title=%E8%87%AA%E5%8A%A8%E6%8C%82%E8%BD%BDWindows%E5%88%86%E5%8C%BA&variant=zh-cn to mount ntfs,but wine said noexce,how to edit the script [03:03] uLinux: Might depend on the setting. [03:03] Diamondcite: yes. [03:04] and to change Language is useful too [03:04] anyone know how to flash phones [03:05] is it safer to run windows inside linux? [03:05] thechitowncubs:: thanks. I have already researched that web page. It didn't really answer my question. I want to install and run ubuntu on a new computer. I would like to have a normal desktop along with sendmail, apache, etc... should I get desktop or server? [03:05] Sean93: you can run it inside Virtualbox but it doesnt make Windows safer [03:05] da844__: is it a server or a desktop? [03:05] Sean93: if you think running windows inside a virtual machin in linux it will make it inmune to virus, it will not [03:05] uLinux: Well linux does provide a very strong firewall atleast? [03:06] da844__: i see "normal desktop": use the desktop iso [03:06] just how unsafe is windows compared to linux? [03:06] Well, it is a computer I built... [03:06] Sean93:: good place for you to ask that question [03:06] If someone who says yes to everything runs either system, then windows is stil worse than linux in most cases. [03:06] :P [03:06] But Linux quickly fails to be as safe. [03:06] i have a device that uses novacom, is there a way to "cp" files or dir? [03:07] Anyone here have Audacious? [03:07] Diamondcite: hm good point cause Linux gives Windows the internet access, hm it controls the connections, is that what you mean? [03:07] rantic: I use audacious [03:07] anyone know how to flash a phone [03:07] thechitowncubs: that's what I thought, but I have 8BG of memory and would like to run the 64 bit version. but it is not the "recommended" one... [03:07] Diamondcite: I just installed it and misclicked ... turning the toolbar at the top off .. would you mind letting me know what the hotkey is for it? [03:07] uLinux: Yes most of the time.. if not.. atleast it makes sure nothing outside can get to windows due to an NAT effect [03:08] i see [03:08] Toolbar ontop? [03:08] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNboaWQ2QvE&NR=1 They had walked pretty fan, but now they had found their home. [03:08] Diamondcite: Yep, where you have FIle etc [03:08] rantic: Ctrl+shift+M [03:08] fan/far [03:08] Diamondcite, im still finding it hard to find a layer 7 firewall for linux... i can only find layer 12 or 3 firewalls so far. [03:08] hi all. anyone know why the following command gets stuck after the redirect? [03:08] wget -d -r -O - https://mail.google.com [03:08] Diamondcite: thank you : ) [03:09] should it not exit after getting the final response? [03:09] i have a device that uses novacom, is there a way to "cp" files or dir? [03:09] anyone know how to flash a phone [03:09] da844__: 64bit has it's bonuses and also problems... [03:09] Alpha, dont spam here [03:10] anyone know how to flash a phone [03:10] 32 bit Ubuntu has the same memory limitation that 32 bit Windows has, right? I mean, if I have 8 gb of memory, it does not make sense to use 32bit, correct? [03:10] how do I access a directory using a terminal? [03:11] 20 days from now you shall get a new antivirus frontend for clamav. It shall the be most used. [03:11] da844__, using the PAE kernel ? [03:11] Alpha, what? [03:11] anyone here even know what novacom is? [03:11] Roadcrosser: use ls to show folders and files, use cd to change directories [03:11] bazhang: I didn't install Ubunut yet. Trying to find the best one to download -> 32bit, 64bit, Desktop, Server... [03:12] da844__, 64bit is fine [03:12] bazhang: Hours and hours of work. [03:13] Alpha, stay on topic here please. [03:13] da844__, I'd rather use 32bit even if your CPU is 64bit .. you could still encounter some compatibility issues if you choose 64bit version [03:13] bazhang: Desktop or Server? I want to run the Gnome desktop and run services. Can you do that if you install the server version easily? [03:13] da844__, desktop and install lamp then [03:13] bazhang: If you say thanks please ? [03:13] 64bit has driver issues with 3rd party drivers like (NO DRIVER) available... [03:14] bazhang: Thanks! [03:14] da844__: easier to install the desktop and add services, than vice-versa, though in principle they are equivalent... [03:14] bazhang: Gratitude if you please. [03:15] Alpha, please stay on topic here [03:15] Diamondcite: But, what about the 8gb of memory? Does 32 bit Ubuntu have the same memory limitation that 32 bit Windows has? [03:15] da844__: Yes it'll have limitations. === seif_ is now known as seiflotfy [03:15] da844__, install linux-generic-pae to get the pae kernel and override that [03:15] bazhang: Alrighty then, in lack of a thank you. [03:16] da844__: A possibility.. install on 64bit, if you have extra space try a multilib or a chroot enviroment with 32bit inside. [03:16] Diamondcite, or virtual OS === guerrilha is now known as dtcrshr [03:16] test34: I don't think a virtual OS would be able to use a 32bit only printer driver for a usb printer.. would it? [03:17] da844__: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [03:17] Diamondcite: So, you are saying that 32 bit Ubuntu has the same limitation that Windows has? Or, are you saying 32bit Ubuntu can use all 8gb of memory if installed with pae? [03:17] da844__, check the link above [03:17] Thanks [03:18] Diamondcite, why not? I never tried it.. but I think it should work [03:18] I have a directory called mc but cd mc doesnt do anything [03:18] -bash: cd: mc: No such file or directory [03:18] da844__: According to one person mentioned... a pae kernel does not have that issue [03:19] Roadcrosser: try ls -l mc does it display something similar to this? drwxr-xr-x [03:19] Anyone ever use VMware workstation installed on a 64 Ubuntu desktop install? Does it work well? [03:19] Roadcrosser: Try cd m where = hit tab key [03:19] ls: cannot access mc: No such file or directory [03:20] I'm using SSH on a VPS [03:20] da844__: My VMWare was 32bit only.. try Virtualbox instead? [03:20] .. [03:20] So tabbing wouldnt work [03:20] Why not? [03:20] hello. I installed apache2-dev and apache2, and I download php 5.2 and attempted to compile from source with the following command: http://pastebin.com/A66sC7e4... When I run make, i get the following error: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl" any ideas? [03:20] SSH is still a shell [03:20] Tab doesnt work anyway [03:20] Diamondcite: thanks [03:20] Diamondcite: cuz he can't "hit the tab key" of the remote box :) [03:20] I can [03:20] If I waste tons of money flying to Atlanta [03:20] CarlFK: But TAB is a keyboard command, tab is forward to the VPS via SSH. [03:21] ... [03:21] You guys mind if I ask which IRC client you like to use? [03:21] That much staring with m ? [03:21] Sorry I forgot [03:21] rantic, no polling please try #ubuntu-bots [03:21] rantic: I'm using X-Chat for a GUI and irssi when on the go. [03:21] any good programs to convert audio cd to mp3 cd? [03:21] Err I wasn't supposed to answer? [03:22] Dan_E, sound converter [03:22] Dan_E: to mp3 cd I never tried.. have you looked into k3b for audio ripping to mp3? [03:22] :/ [03:22] Roadcrosser: Okay then. how about "ls *" [03:22] bazzhang: Alright sorry about that [03:22] Why can a mere tab key cost so much? Doing this via an every KB counts cellphone connection? === da844__ is now known as CharlesTwin [03:23] rantic, the default is empathy, there are tons out there such as xchat irssi weechat quassel and others [03:23] hello,I try DebootstrapChroot in ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 to chroot 10.04 i386 but can't config schroot [03:23] Diamondcite: are you using GPRS to browse irssi? [03:23] Well [03:23] I get some file names [03:23] bazhang: I uninstall empathy after a few minutes of use .. I'm testing xChat right now and it's really nice but I'm looking for something even more minimal -- I think I'll be testing irssi next [03:24] irssi is rad [03:24] I use 10.10. Java won't render my windows until I resize them. What should I do? [03:24] pksadiq: I have a 3G USB data(1GB cap) stick when I'm on the go. [03:24] i'm just getting into it [03:24] it said 警告:“/etc/schroot/schroot.conf”中未定义chroots,but I read guid careful,it sure no happen [03:24] rantic, keep in mind that weechat and irssi are cli , and irssi is often used in conjuction with screen [03:24] rantic try irssi [03:24] I am sorry .wav to .mp3 [03:25] rantic: for quick, basic IRCstuff, I use chatzilla inside firefox. Very easy for newbies... [03:25] randy_: try "chroot /path/to/new/root" [03:25] Dan_E, sound converter should do that [03:25] screen is awesome but i haven't figured out how irssi is more interesting than everything else in screen? [03:25] will look, thanks [03:25] Dan_E: might be vlc will help you [03:25] k [03:25] Diamondcite, I know this,but the guide said schroot will show the chroot list [03:26] IRC Client: Each client has their ups and downs, xchat is good for file transfers such as DCC connections, irssi is text based and good for ssh + screen, chatzilla is overall good for new irc users but lacks functionality. [03:26] Dan_E: Or sox, the Swiss army knife of convertors [03:26] Dan_E: 'lame' will convert wavs to mp3s. It's a CLI app... [03:26] randy_: Really? I never once used it that way ^_^ [03:26] thanks all!! [03:26] so I left my box running for a few hours (like I always do) came back and it was hung: couldn't type into the screen saver password dialog, mouse wouldn't move, capslock light wouldn't toggle. [03:26] Dan_E: use flac instead :) [03:26] I use 10.10. Java won't render my windows until I resize them. What should I do? [03:27] neew to record to my car === MattLinux|Work is now known as MattLinux [03:27] hard reboot, got bad header in /lib/libc.so.6 hang. I replaced it from another ubuntu box.now it gets to trying to start X, and sits. if I hit alt-f1, i get a login prompt, and I can ssh into the box from here [03:27] need [03:27] CarlFK: Sounds like you had a hardlock.. do you use a 3D/opengl screen saver? [03:27] Diamondcite, I use chroot for another this before,and succesful [03:27] mp3 only [03:27] Hi. I upgraded to Maverick Meerkat and my OpenOffice.org Impress sounds stopped working. Any hints? [03:27] so wubi is really screwing me up [03:27] CarlFK: Re-install X and the affected libraries? [03:28] Diamondcite, but it cann't do anythigs [03:29] randy_: Without the basic gnu-utils a chroot is useless. [03:30] Diamondcite, how to install it ,I have use sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 hardy /srv/chroot/lucid_i386/ http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ ins host [03:30] Diamondcite, how to install it ,I have use sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 hardy /srv/chroot/lucid_i386/ http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ in host [03:30] Err too many conversations was happening at once.. I forgot who was which one ^_^ [03:30] one more thing: when I ssh in I see Ubuntu maverick (development branch) (cuz i installed a few wees before release) and "37 packages can be updated." but sudo apt-get dist-upgrade says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." [03:30] wubi will not let me do a full install of ubuntu [03:30] Diamondcite, I'm the DebootstrapChroot problem [03:30] I am wondering whats up with the 37 packages... [03:30] CarlFK: maybe you can ssh in with "ssh -CY user@host" [03:31] CarlFK: Then try to run synaptic with X11 forwarding [03:31] kia ora [03:31] randy_: These are ubuntu specific chroot instructions? [03:31] wondering if anyone knows why I can't download any of the torrents at torrent.ubuntu.com [03:32] Diamondcite: doh: synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so.1: invalid ELF header [03:32] CarlFK: "file /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so.1" [03:32] What does it say? [03:32] Is there anyway to set sshd_config to allow passwordauthention for 192.168.1.0/24 but any other IP would only allow publickey ? [03:32] Diamondcite, no,this a deb package soft,https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot [03:33] Is there anyway to set sshd_config to allow passwordauthentication for 192.168.1.0/24 but any other IP would only allow publickey ?

[03:35] ajsie: aptitude search ruby [03:35] there should be a ruby 1.9 package [03:35] Diamondcite: idle [03:35] ajsie: "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" goes to the current devel version, which, by the way, is not yet even at alpha 1, so ... it breaks? you get to keep all 3 pieces [03:35] sudo aptitude install [03:36] JohnTeddy: Try to look up the screen saver section [03:36] got a wierd issue. i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 off the cd.

[03:39] Roadcrosser: Sorry too many things happening at once I'm losing track [03:39] CarlFK: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxcomposite1 [03:39] Eighteens: That looks more like visualizer for the new music player [03:40] i've got issues with both google chrome and chromium. nuking the config file will allow it to start fine, it bugs me about the usually import from other browser, and the 2 other questions there, however when i get to a fully blown browser, it crashes and dies, and i can't get them to launch ever again [03:40] Roadcrosser: Could you please state your current situation again I really can't remember. [03:40] Diamondcite, is that "new music player" you speak of standard in 10.10, or will i need to download that [03:41] Eighteens: It's the default in 10.10 [03:41] pksadiq: http://dpaste.de/CKmb/ ended with "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /lib/libc-2.12.1.so.bak is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start." [03:41] arafatm_: doesnt work .. i irun "aptitude nstall ruby1.9.1" but i still get version 1.8.7 in the IRB console [03:41] you can set the default music player in any ubuntu to whatever you'd like [03:41] Diamondcite oh cool, i have 10.10, but so many new things i haven't seen it yet, only rythmbox [03:41] oh wait.. .bak was the copy I made beore I replaced... let me delete that [03:41] Eighteens: Look around the setting in Rythymbox and see what you might find? [03:41] Diamondcite, thank you for the tip [03:42] what is the command to try and start [03:42] what is the command to try and start x? [03:42] CarlFK, startx [03:42] CarlFK: startx [03:42] startx [03:43] ajsie: ok, couple of issues. 1) ruby is a link to ruby1.8 # ls -alh /usr/bin/ruby to verify [03:43] CarlFK: /etc/init.d/gdm restart [03:43] 2) if you really need both 1.8 and 1.9 then use rvm. not sure if there is a debian package for that [03:43] what is rvm? [03:43] wee! X up. lets see if it will survive a reboot [03:43] :/ [03:43] rvm = ruby version manager [03:44] I needa run an applet [03:44] allows you to run multiple versions of ruby/gems [03:44] But when I java it [03:44] it says cannot access [03:45] hi [03:45] yep - thanks guys. another satisfied customer [03:45] do i need to enabled any additional sources or something to see b43 at the Additional Driver [03:45] arafatm_: yeah [03:45] arafatm_: i just hate to install things not using aptitude =) [03:45] i dont want to use wl but b43 using broadcom wifi and wl isnt working too well [03:46] ajsie: i recommend you don't use aptitude if you need gems. the packages in apt are pretty old [03:46] arafatm_: okay [03:46] kexman_, both b43 and wl work for me [03:46] kexman_: you might need to enable restricted software sources first.

[05:03] virtu: oh so you were planning to have it over ? :) [05:04] Guest78721: might need to check the packages themselves, they're typically in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [05:04] Ubuntu recognizes it (WALKMAN drive) so I can delete the files, but it dont get free space after deleting... so my trouble is to transfer files [05:04] Can I change the size of Xchat's Input Entry? [05:04] obs3rv3r, no... [05:04] virtu: check on the .Trash folder ?? [05:04] Can I change the height of Xchat's Input Entry? [05:05] obs3rv3r, there's no trash folder into WALKMAN [05:05] phasma: sounds like the files are going where it should (libreoffice source): By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under [05:05] `/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc [05:06] virtu: show hidden files will show it. [05:06] virtu: please re-verify there has to be a .Trash folder [05:06] lduros: if they go where you specify, they will be available globally anyway [05:06] Ctrl+H to see the hidden files/folders . [05:06] JoeMaverickSett and obs3rv3r ok... wait a second please [05:06] phasma: cool [05:07] JoeMaverickSett and obs3rv3r worked [05:07] JoeMaverickSett and obs3rv3r tks [05:07] virtu: you're welcome. :) [05:07] virtu: You're welcome :) [05:07] I am welcome =P [05:07] kidding [05:08] Also, am I able to sync all my music on my windows partition and bookmarks etc. over to ubuntu? [05:08] * obs3rv3r Just finished the 5th epsiode of The Big Bang Theory Season 4 :) [05:09] purp1e, as long as you're not overwriting the partition for the install afaik [05:09] 13640232445 [05:09] Aemaeth: afaik? and what partition? The windows one? === tarun is now known as Guest22433 === administrator_ is now known as cheaker [05:10] I am trying to install ubuntu on a new system. When the first purple logo screen disappears I get a line in the upper left corner of the screen then the system freezes. The alternate installer did not help. Any other suggestions? [05:10] purple: Regarding music, yes and you may need ffmpeg if you have AAC files. Regarding bookmarks, if your using Firefox you may export all your bookmarks to HTML then import in Ubuntu. [05:10] purp1e, as far as i know. yea, as long as you don't install ubuntu to your windows folder you should be able to just transfer the music, and should be able to save bookmarks in a file... [05:10] Say, are there any nice tablet things for Ubuntu like there are in win7? [05:10] I cant install ubuntu 64 bit on my core i5 laptop... anything im missing? [05:10] dougb_freebsd: What version of Ubuntu are you trying to install? Did you MD5SUM the CD before burning it? [05:10] DanaG: waiting for you to write them ;p [05:11] DanaG: more than that in linux [05:11] and what's a nice tablet thing? i want a nice thing [05:11] Wacom tablet laptop. [05:11] rusivi: I've tried 10.10 amd64/i386 and 10.04 i386 ... all of the images worked fine on my laptop [05:11] hi [05:11] Has 915GM, so no Aero in Win7... but Compiz works fine. [05:11] !hi | aditya [05:11] rusivi: I looked for md5 hashes of the isos themselves and did not find them [05:12] trying to sort out a volume control issue. I have 2 sound cards, but changing the volume in gnome-volume-control only affects the volume on the first (pci) sound card. the 2nd (usb) card remains unchanged. the usb is the only one that actually has speakers on it... [05:12] !md5sum | dougb_freebsd [05:12] dougb_freebsd: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:12] can any one tell me what is new in 10.10 [05:12] Aemaeth: Thats the problem, I have over 500 gigabytes of music on my windows partition...I dont want to transfer it over because that it stupid as it would be a major inconveiance [05:12] purp1e, if you're keeping your windows partition you could mount the partition and read the music from the drive it's on, and i was able to copy my entire firefox profile over, just rar'd it and moved it [05:12] aditya: new kernel, new software, pretty most new [05:13] Aemaeth: Can I set ubuntu to automatically mount the partition? [05:13] After upgrading to 2.6.35-22 header image, I am not able to turn on my wireless driver. However when I boot with 2.6.32.25 header image, wireless works fine. [05:13] atrus: I think you would need to select which sound device is controlled by Pulse Audio in the System > Preferences > Sound [05:13] purple could just try mounting the music folder from windows [05:13] any pointers? [05:13] purp1e, yea, sure [05:13] wats ldunn_ [05:14] Aemaeth: No, I'm asking if its possible to set ubuntu to mount it at launch [05:14] I actuallly deleted my Music folder in Linux, and symlinked my Windows Music folder there. [05:14] rusivi: ok, thanks for that, the md5 is correct [05:14] DanaG: Thats actually a really good idea [05:14] From home dir: ln -s /media/Win7/Users/Dana/Music/ [05:14] dougb_freebsd: What is the problem computer's mfg/model #? [05:14] DanaG: Thanks for the idea, I think ill use that as thats very easy to do [05:14] Though, doing that with the Pictures dir results in eog being "unable to find trash". [05:14] purp1e, you just have to add an entry in a file so it knows to pick it up, if it doesn't automatically do that on install [05:14] rusivi: dell optiplex 960 [05:14] purple if you have gparted its easy to set the mount point for your win partition [05:14] it is very much similar to 10.04 [05:15] madfox, i think he wants to change his fstab? [05:15] rusivi: I've googled it quite a bit, and there were problems with older debian and ubuntu versions that required putting the raid controller into legacy mode in the bios, which I've tried, still no joy [05:15] Aemaeth: Oh god, is it hard to do? I really dont feel like going through a ton of conf files. I had to go through countless last time and thats what made me switch to windows [05:16] Aemaeth purple gparted is easier though :) [05:16] Need help with sound preamp won't go up http://pastebin.com/9JGxt41C [05:16] How can I backup an entire partition and transfer it to another drive? (I need to switch my OS to a different drive). Thanks! [05:16] madfox: ? I dont want to edit anything...I just want ubuntu to automatically mount the windows partition once I log in [05:16] madfox, can it automount? [05:17] Antioch: there are multiple, different, ways [05:17] Antioch: same size drive? you can do a bit-for-bit copy with dd. if not, rsync [05:17] Just.. a simple gtk gui tool [05:17] purp1e: at login or at boot? [05:17] Oh and instead of installing via a disc can I just launch the iso in windows and install it via that way? [05:17] Not same size. [05:17] Aemaeth purple yeah if you edit the mount point the GUIness of gparted it works === Guest22433 is now known as tarora [05:17] Any Sound experts here ?

Have you tied the knot around your dickhead ? [05:44] JWebb22: your VM manager should have dirsctions on that for you, usually you ave to select available usb devices to "connect" them.

If your kernel was broken your system wouldn't boot [06:01] tech2077: ActionParsnip cicatrix1 i followed this http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/17/remove-ubuntu-kernels-you-dont-need/ [06:01] DanaG: same as you can do in any OS [06:01] ActionParsnip, ok lemme check [06:01] How does one launch wubi.exe?

I dont get it [06:07] purp1e: if you have the ISO then you don't extract it. Just mount the ISO and it will autorun and offer to install wubi [06:08] heloo can any one help me with c network programming in ubuntu [06:08] sofaking88: That's the problem, USB support is only available via the PUEL version, you can download the PUEL .deb via www.virtualbox.org [06:08] llutz_: Yes, it does. Thank you. [06:08] theos: it'll need recompiling [06:08] heloo can any one help me with c network programming in ubuntu or suggest me a good active programming channel and network [06:08] ActionParsnip: same thing happened. [06:08] ActionParsnip: I can't I can only extract it via winrar, daemon and everything else refuses to work on my computer...IT says there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device [06:08] ActionParsnip, ok thanks for helping :) [06:08] !offtopic | rohith [06:08] rohith: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 [06:09] sorry [06:09] i try to login and then i come back to login screen again after netering password [06:09] ActionParsnip, at recovery shell, he could have tried with a 'su foo' [06:09] !repeat | rohith [06:09] rohith: 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/ [06:09] purp1e: you don't extract the ISO. Just because dumb winrar gives it an icon doesn't mean you extract it. Install magicdisk or daemontools and mont the iso [06:09] rohith, join ##c [06:09] theos: thanks !! [06:10] rusivi: Ok, do I have to uninstall OSE? Will I still have the WinXP installed to it? [06:10] tech2077: you are root in the recovery shell so you can reset the pass of ANY user using: passwd name [06:10] ActionParsnip: Please refer above ^ I answered that and why I cant do it. It says something about my kernel debugger not being actiavated [06:10] Krishnandu: Ok [06:10] why does nouveau driver not support modeset in maverick? i only get a black screen on boot. is there any way to solve it? i want to use nouveau only, don't want to switch nvidia binary driver. thanks. [06:10] rohith, :) [06:10] purp1e: did you md5 test the iso? [06:10] ActionParsnip, i don't believe it is a password problem, he still has the problem [06:10] Hi. I'm having problems with an external sound card - my internal one got busted and i bought a usb one. However when I set the sound output preference to USB it gives me the following error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback." can anyone help? [06:10] i think it's a session problem [06:11] ActionParsnip: How does one do this? [06:11] Hey, does anyone know how to use a vim script and have your linux shell perform the tasks on it? [06:11] rohan: boot to recovery root console and uninstall the nouveau driver. You will then use the nv driiver [06:11] sofaking88: It is easier to uninstall the OSE version first before installing the PUEL version. You should be able to use the winxp VM created in OSE in the PUEL version but no guarantees. [06:11] ActionParsnip: but nv driver is old and crappy right? [06:11] ActionParsnip: i am now at recovery menu. please advise. i am going to go google for help at same time. thanks [06:12] Guest12061, Write the script on vim and save it, and run it with sh [06:12] purp1e: you have downloaded a VERY sensitive piece of data over the web. You have no idea if the data is consistant or complete as you haven't tested it but you have being trying to use it. [06:12] !md5 | purp1e [06:12] purp1e: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [06:12] can anyone help me with my external sound card problem? [06:13] I've just installed 10.10, and I'm not able to see the networkmamanger applet. If I start it in a console, it reports that it is embedded in the notification area. Sometimes I see a line show up and then disappear, but that's it. nm-applet works fine on some systems I've upgraded from 10.04. What's going on? [06:13] I do save it as a PY file, but everytime I try to load it on the shell, I get an error message. In ornder for the shell to find the file, how do I save it? [06:13] Sigh, Ill pass that one up, I do NOT want to install any more software that will only be used once on my computer, its useless, I can assure you I downloaded the torrent they say on their website [06:13] rohan: it'll give you a desktop. You can then install the proprietary. Crappy will do for now. Seeing as it works and nouveau doesn't i'd say the nv driver wasn't crappy in any way [06:13] kyle_l5l, have you tried to click on the line [06:13] it should show the network list [06:14] tech2077: sorry to intrude. do you have any idea? [06:14] ActionParsnip: i don't want to install the proprietary.. the newest version doesn't work with my sony vaio cw. and you have a point, yes. [06:14] Guest12061: file extensions mean nothing. That's what windows holds onto. If its a script, mark it as executable [06:14] tech2077: i am kinda worried that my data and everything is gone. [06:14] Zeu5, can you test su foo, replacing foo with you username [06:14] purple: If you do not md5sum your isos before burning them, feel free not to ask for help about problems you find in Ubuntu afterwards. [06:14] Guest12061, py files means you need to run it with python. BTW extension concept is not there in linux [06:14] rohan: then use nv for now, get updated full then install the latest nouveau [06:14] tech2077: you mean drop as root [06:14] Zeu5, your data's safe [06:14] can anyone help with my external sound card problem? [06:15] !ask | SunmanXII [06:15] Zeu5, if worst comes to worst, you can use a live cd to back up your data [06:15] SunmanXII: 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. :-) [06:15] i am su foo already. [06:15] but i see a lot of messages [06:15] ActionParsnip: latest nouveau from where? i am on xorg-edgers already :( [06:15] Thank you for your help. I will go try that now. open source is the way of the future. [06:15] SunmanXII: try gjving details rather than asking the same uestion to ask which is silly [06:15] and i canot copy paste its too many [06:15] tech2077, heh, ok, I tried that for about 10 minutes yesterday, but it didn't work. Today I got lucky and found the 1 pixel wide hotspot. It even works after the line disappears. Thanks...but now, why is the applet one pixel wide and invisible? [06:15] !pastebin > Zeu5 [06:15] Zeu5, please see my private message [06:15] rohan: then no wonder its bad, you are using a HIGHLY experimental set of packages [06:15] Zeu5, does it show a promt with $ [06:16] ActionParsnip: This was my question: I'm having problems with an external sound card - my internal one got busted and i bought a usb one. However when I set the sound output preference to USB it gives me the following error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback." can anyone help? [06:16] tech2077: yes [06:16] ActionParsnip: before that, it was worse. [06:16] SunmanXII: just ask the channel. Don't aim it at me [06:16] rohan: so it was worse than zero desktop? [06:16] rusivi: ok, thank you. I have another question, though. I set up a couple of folders in the "shared folders" option. How do I access them during the VM session? [06:16] tech2077: the prompt reads as foo@foo-desktop:/root$ [06:16] ActionParsnip: earlier, i just booted into a black desktop.. [06:17] ActionParsnip: now it sometimes works, but mostly causes kernel panics :P [06:17] Zeu5, type exit [06:17] i don't know what's good/or not [06:17] rohan: could try a different kernel [06:17] tech2077: now it is root@foo-desktop [06:17] tech2077: now it is root@foo-desktop:~# [06:18] rohan: you may have to use "crappy" nv just to get a desktop [06:18] ok [06:18] Hi. I'm having problems with an external sound card - my internal one got busted and i bought a usb one. However when I set the sound output preference to USB it gives me the following error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback." can anyone help? [06:18] llutz_: Now disk utility is giving me grief: http://paste.ubuntu.com/518504/ [06:19] SunmanXII: take the pci card out. Less confusion for the OS (or disable in bios if its onboard) [06:19] ActionParsnip: i tried both the -ubuntu and mainline kernels [06:19] tech2077, this is a weird bug. Once I've associated with a network, the icon shows up properly, and if I disconnect, it shows the proper icon. [06:19] ActionParsnip: I went into bios and disabled the media card. [06:20] Su [06:20] Please help me! I am not able to sign in thru MSN in empathy!! I am using ubuntu 10.10 [06:20] Oops [06:20] !sound | SunmanXII [06:20] SunmanXII: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [06:20] kyle_l5l, it's happened on random occasions to me on other computers, it's a weird bug [06:20] ActionParsnip: but its till an option in the sound playback dropdown list [06:20] if you have it on autoconnect to something on boot, it goes away [06:20] sofaking88: In your VM open the Terminal, change directory to the folder you want to mount, then type: sudo mount -t vboxsf (HOST FOLDER) (VM FOLDER) [06:21] i cannot install encore entlv fm on ubuntu maverick :( [06:21] tech2077, weird. oh well. Thanks again for the help. [06:22] hi all [06:22] hi [06:22] I want to find a driver for my usb to series 232 === gnostic is now known as scruffy === scruffy is now known as scruffyfur [06:23] QUESTION! :) the more fps in a mkv file means the better the quality ( and the slower my ubuntu PC will run it in VLC media player right?) [06:24] Hey all. I've got some pretty strange behavior on Ubuntu 10.10. Basically, what's happening is when I log into my user account, "sean", is that it acts like it logs in for a second, and then just as soon as it should begin to show the normal desktop for that user it goes back to the login screen. Does anyone know where I should begin investigating? [06:24] ouyes: Check this and see if it helps: http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/05/how-to-use-usb-serial-port-converter-in-ubuntu.html [06:25] greezmunkey, thanks [06:25] anyone?? [06:27] for mkv try smplayer is better than vlc :D [06:29] Can I run two GTX 480s in SLI in Ubuntu and have it use them? Or is it a waste and I should just run Windows? [06:29] mgiffels: sure,as for waste, it depends what you use your system for [06:30] mgiffels, Well....You can't decide ubuntu with your hardware. Better decide according to your task [06:30] mgiffels, As ActionParsnip said if you intend to gaming sure it's a waste [06:30] Krishnandu: when did I say that? [06:30] Well that's the thing...I had Windows 7 on it but it was pretty lame. I want to go back to linux and I know I can game in linux. But I want to know if Ubuntu will fully utilize the SLI like windows did. [06:31] mgiffels: there are some great games for linux which will use it nicely [06:31] ActionParsnip, lol I said it's waste if it's intend for gaming [06:31] Will it fully utilize the SLI though? [06:31] Krishnandu: I thought sli was in the new nvidia driver... [06:31] mgiffels, Ohh ya sure...it'll.... [06:32] ActionParsnip, ya...right... [06:32] Is SLI even fully supported? [06:32] i playing call of dutty 2 whit wine in ubuntu whit last nvidia driver :D [06:32] mgiffels: sure but many of the games on the shop shelves won't run [06:33] ActionParsnip: Such as? [06:33] ActionParsnip: That has been said about many games. And then I ran them. === nobuto is now known as Guest67700 [06:33] I've just never run SLI in linux before so I'm not sure if it will know what to do with it or not. [06:34] greezmunkey, thanks again, I need to learn more about to use google [06:34] rusivi: grandtheftauto, need for speed,, theme park world [06:34] ouyes: did that work for you? [06:34] how do you change the sound theme in xubuntu [06:34] greek, I think it will , I will try it latere [06:35] mgiffels: you can shell out for cedega or crossoveroffice to get more compatibility but if you play a LOT of games then I recommend windows, its a better tool for the job [06:35] I can only run Windows if it has no idea what the internet is though. The thing loves to kill itself. [06:35] Shifat: under sound options there's a theme section with some sound themes you can use [06:36] That and it's slow [06:36] mgiffels: win7 isn't that slow, vista is really slow [06:36] Win7 was fine for the first 30 days or so. After that it started to slow down and get irritating [06:36] ActionParsnip: Did you check Winehq? GTAVC -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1369 Need for Speed -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1903 Theme Park World -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7545 [06:37] mgiffels: if you check the wine appdb you may find the games you like will work [06:37] ouyes: yeah, the first rule you learn in university is that you don't necessarily have to know the answer, but you better be able to look it up. [06:37] ActionParsnip: I tired that it was only No Sounds and Ubuntu in the menu [06:37] ActionParsnip: I'm pretty sure they will [06:37] What about 64bit? Should I bother with it? [06:38] anyone know an irc client for ubuntu that lets me direct all the chats to a program? [06:38] i want to make a bot but dont want to network program [06:38] rusivi: dude I'm in here daily and yes I checked. I've been around the block a few times :) [06:39] ActionParsnip: Ok well based on WINE community members those games work. [06:39] :D [06:39] greezmunkey, it takes some time to find a proper article about my case in the google search [06:39] rusivi: it was underground too, not hot persuit ;) [06:39] There's work and 'work' though rusivi [06:39] Should I run 64bit on my SLI system? Or will it not matter? [06:39] ouyes: try this: ubuntu usb to rs232 [06:40] greezmunkey, I am such stupid [06:41] ActionParsnip / mgiffels: If you have a specific, detailed game complaint with WINE I'm all eyes. [06:41] rusivi: will dig the disks out. Mind you with me mentioning underground you can see how much I game ;) [06:41] rusivi: I don't yet. But give me a week or two [06:41] mgiffels: looking forward. [06:41] rusivi: postal2 will only work on my system in windowed mode with mouse capture on instead of fullscreen [06:42] rusivi: that's the last game I played in wine and I needed to run it as such so it'd worlk [06:43] what's a good screencast creating software for ubuntu ? [06:43] I tired xvidvap but its problemativ [06:43] ruby_on_tails: what features do you need in vidcap software? [06:43] I just want to record my screen [06:43] Well thanks for the tips guys. I'm going to work on this installation stuff tomorrow. Night [06:43] ActionParsnip: Are you using WINE that comes with Ubuntu or newest dev wine 1.3.5? [06:43] for a screencast [06:43] lucent: but as soon as I try to record xvid exits [06:44] rusivi: it was a year ago, no idea [06:44] ruby_on_tails: recordmydesktop may work [06:45] ActionParsnip: Try in newest dev WINE if still a problem then we can take it from there -> http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [06:45] ActionParsnip: have you ever set up kvm on a server without a gui on it? [06:45] ActionParsnip: tech2077 is advising me. and he suggests reinstall. i prefer not to. is there an alternative? [06:45] ActionParsnip: trying that [06:45] i_is_broke: I don't use kvm, I use ssh [06:46] Zeu5: so when you login, what happens? [06:46] i will go into a black screen for a short while and then goes back to login screen [06:47] rusivi: all I use wine for these days is spotify, but I'll be getting a full account soon so I can uset [06:47] Use the native client [06:47] ActionParsnip: i am now running on live cd and chose the try ubuntu option. i cannot access internet from there. now using another computer to communicate [06:47] Actionparsnip: You do not have to have an account at winehq.org to download newest WINE dev [06:48] I'm trying to get Upstart to start my VirtualBox VM automatically. /etc/init/soma.conf is the script, and "# start soma" gives me a PID (it says it's started), but I can't ping the vm. Check out my pastebin: http://pastebin.com/brb4Tf8y [06:48] rusivi: I know but you need a full spotify account to use the native client [06:49] rusivi: I suggest you check my karma points on launchpad. This isn't my first rodeo. Websearch for: actionparsnip wiki [06:49] will someone with some experience with css help me understand this "http://paste.ubuntu.com/518520/" [06:49] oh [06:49] Hello. [06:49] xbonesx: asked in #css too? [06:50] ActionParsnip: hahaha Karma has no bearing on who I direct questions/answers too. Nobody is infallible :p [06:50] didnt know that existed, thank you ActionParsnip [06:50] xbonesx: the color was changed to white [06:51] rusivi: absolutely but you can gauge better now ;) [06:51] right the specific parts of the code tho? like the @@ *****@@?????? [06:51] i understand what it does but i dont understand why it does? or how [06:51] ActionParsnip: Nothing to gauge, no big deal. [06:51] i think the numbers inbetween the @@ are the line of the document, right? [06:52] -34 = the line of the document to change, correct? [06:52] rusivi: well, you'd expect me to know you don't need an account to use the wine ppa... === Danu_ is now known as Danu [06:53] ActionParsnip: sorry if i intrude. but i was waiting to see if you have a suggestion for me? [06:53] but if thats true what does the "7" stand for? [06:53] Zeu5: when you try and log in to the installed ubuntu,what happens? [06:54] xbonesx: you're ... new here? [06:54] Is ot a good thing to have a ATA (IDE) to a SATA adaptor converter? I got a 250HDD ATA but my motherboard is a SATA.. i want to use the 250GB for my OS (Win 7, Win Xp and Ubuntu) and use my 2TB SATA for data storage? good diea?

[06:56] lucent, please o say [06:56] sdo* [06:56] VirusTB: all drives are IDE these days [06:56] do** [06:56] ActionParsnip: if i reboot, what do i reboot into? normal mode? recovermode? [06:56] ActionParsnip, PATA ** [06:56] Zeu5: use root recovery [06:56] virusTB, better to run OS off sata and use ide for emergency backups [06:56] VirusTB: privmsg, I don't talk about commercial products in help chan :) [06:56] for some reason Ubuntu wont recognize I have a mouse. [06:56] VirusTB: ;) [06:56] ProfFaolan: is it a com port mouse? [06:57] usb [06:57] Is it wireless? [06:57] no [06:57] thanks guys [06:57] Have you pulled out the USB and plugged it back in? [06:58] ProfFaolan: pull it out, wait a few seconds, jam it back in then run: dmesg | tail ,it should give clues [06:58] !adduser | zeu5 [06:58] zeu5: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [06:58] ok [06:58] ActionParsnip: RMD seems good :) [06:58] thanks [06:59] ruby_on_tails: no worries dude === chocoby is now known as CHOCOBY [06:59] hi all === boran is now known as Guest6532 [06:59] Hi brokenda1apoint [07:00] hmm, is supposed to be brokendatapoint, wtf! [07:00] ActionParsnip: i have created the new user without addin the user to any particular group [07:00] not working [07:00] ActionParsnip: what is next step? [07:00] thanks lucent [07:00] Zeu5: that's fine. Did you set its password too? [07:01] ActionParsnip: yes [07:01] Zeu5: ok, reboot and login as the new user [07:01] ActionParsnip: [07:01] Zeu5: if it works then its your profile, if not its the system [07:01] hi, I want to do a tail -f on a file and pipe it over to a php program that will email it to an office, I believe the correct way to do it is like this: tail -f some file | /usr/bin/php -q phpprogram.php [07:01] is that correct? [07:01] anyway, have Ubuntu 10.04 on a x86 Acer Atom Netbook, Gnome desktop and I am now getting an odd sound. It seems to be random but only occurs when the netbook is online with FF open, is a "sigh" noise sort of like a ghost sound, any ideas? [07:02] ActionParsnip: regardless of profile or system, can it be fixed without reinstall? [07:02] Zeu5: should be, yes [07:02] ActionParsnip: its the sytem [07:02] brokenda1apoint: do any other apps make it occur? Or a different browser? [07:02] cause the behavior is the same [07:03] Zeu5: dang [07:03] other apps, no, FF is only browser [07:03] ActionParsnip: i will never remove kernel again :( [07:03] Zeu5: not sure then dude. Id research but my web is painful on this POS [07:03] ActionParsnip: oh no :( [07:04] brokenda1apoint: install another browser and is the obvious next step.... [07:04] can i use root to reinstall the kernel? [07:04] ActionParsnip: can i use root to reinstall the kernel? [07:04] image_q: that would not work because the -f flag will keep the program running until you kill it. so the email would never get sent. [07:04] Zeu5: id find a web accessible system and research too [07:04] Help.... Preamp stuck at 20 [07:05] dbgnet: but wouldnt it call the program everytime and send the data for reading in through stdin? [07:05] Zeu5: sure if you have the debs. You may be able to run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop ,see if it helps [07:05] ActionParsnip: ok will do [07:05] can someone tell me how often a cron would run set to this */30 * * * * ??? [07:05] image_q: maybe a |while read var;do echo "$var"|php -q phpprogram.php;done would work instead to email each line output [07:05] Crash1hd: every half hour [07:05] maco, thanks :) [07:05] Zeu5: you may have to boot to livecd, chroot to the installed OS and sniff around [07:05] image_q: yes it would be only after a EOF is encountered. [07:06] Anybody have a clue on how to fix my preamp issue [07:06] image_q: correction, not EOF but rather pipe close signal [07:07] Crash1hd: you can use gnome-schedule to setup jobs. It also shows the cron entry as you change options :) [07:07] Phate: alsamixer in terminal and turn it down... [07:08] actionparsnip: wat is chroot ? [07:08] !chroot | zeu5 [07:08] zeu5: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory.

I've never had a sound issue as all my sound chips are mid/low end and work 100% out of the box [07:12] ActionParsnip:Would it be better to replace ALCA altogether ? [07:12] Phate: could switch to OSS, I'm no good at sound stuff [07:13] ok [07:13] Trying it out now [07:14] hello [07:15] lets say you have a gas filled balloon, rotating in space very fast; the mass of the balloon is negligible compared to the mass of the gas.

[07:25] ProfFaolan: yooo [07:25] Zeu5: look for the primary entry for your kernel and then look in the /boot folder for which vmlinuz files are left. [07:25] ya, from what I understand is it, a service to download & upload information from a server [07:25] dbgnet: i get a no such file or directory [07:25] <[dw]_> thats almost as bad as cd /; rm /temp * (been there, done that) [07:25] BlackWeb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet [07:26] Zeu5: do you use lilo? [07:26] dbgnet: i am a newbie in ubuntu. i dunno wat is lilo [07:26] dbgnet: in my /boot there is a only 1 vmlinuz which is vmlinuz-2.6.32-25-generic [07:26] Zeu5: what does the output for ls -l /boot show?

[07:33] maco: my grub i think is 1.98 something [07:33] er... grub.cfg [07:33] maco: where can i look for boot.cfg? [07:33] yeah, 1.98 is essentially grub 2 [07:33] okie where can i look for grub.cfg? [07:33] same directory [07:34] /boot/grub/grub.cfg [07:34] Zeu5: going back to the original problem what does the screen look like when you boot it up and won't let you logon?

[07:34] dbgnet: i just get caught in an endless loop of login [07:35] type password, screen refresh, back to login screen. repeat [07:35] i am using gnome btw [07:35] Zeu5: did you try a failsafe gnome session? its in the login screen optinos [07:36] how do i get out of less /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [07:36] Zeu5: uhh what program did you open it with? [07:36] Zeu5: try deleting the ~/.Xsession file maybe there is something in there that is preventing you from starting up cuz of it [07:36] nvm i got out [07:37] <[dw]_> a reinsatll wont break anything willi t [07:37] <[dw]_> ubuntu is failpr00f [07:37] I have a 350 gig partition on my main internal harddrive.

[07:40] prov: look at the dmcrypt-wiki on http://saout.de (english) [07:40] do i have to use ubuntu users for samba? or can samba use its own DB? [07:41] Zeu5, are you logged in as root or as a user [07:41] llutz_: I do not speak german. What does that STOP! thing say? Should I know before I proceed? [07:42] pvl1: root [07:42] llutz_: Oops, how do i get to the english? [07:42] i went into recovery mode [07:42] Zeu5: one moment. need to look for a few things to get you a good answer so we aren't exposing everything about your computer to everyone [07:42] thats why, to the best of my memory, root doesnt have a session file, but an actual user does [07:42] prov: below the STOP are links [07:42] dbgnet: thank you very MUCH! [07:43] pvl1: shd i then restart my laptop? [07:43] Zeu5, no thats not neccessary [07:43] pvl1: in tat case i stay in recovery mode using root? [07:44] Zeu5, it should be located in /home/USERNAME/.xsession [07:44] Zeu5, username being the username in question, the one with which u log in [07:44] i swear i will never remove kernels again. its just not worth it :( [07:44] Zeu5, sure, with root u can do *anything* [07:45] pvl1: there is no .xsession but there are .xsession-errors and .xsession-errors.old === zhang is now known as Guest40570 [07:45] prov: the "stop" is just an satire on some dumb actions of german politicians [07:45] prov: nothing to worry about [07:46] llutz_: Good, now I will proceed without fidgeting.

[07:51] dbgnet [07:52] Zeu5: correct [07:52] btw, ActionParsnip told me to create another user using root. and this other user had the exactt same problem [07:52] so its not user specific issue i suspect?

[07:54] Zeu5: actually the logon as root you would want to try as a normal logon to see if it works, the recovery mode may not tell us anything about what's causing the problem [07:55] People,help me with hlds,plzzzzzz [07:55] <[dw]_> ifrit: whatd you do [07:57] i make server,but it not appears in Find Servers [07:57] 우분투 좋은데 아직 투박함 [07:57] 음 [07:58] 여기는 english only?

[08:40] How do I access directories then? [08:41] anybody? [08:41] it's in the directory mc [08:41] cd mc didn't work [08:41] zico: You can download the iso separately and put it in the same directory as the wubi executable, and it should use that rather than trying to download again. [08:41] Roadcrosser: ls -ld mc [08:41] Roadcrosser: and where is that mc directory located ? [08:42] Diverdude: chmod 777 ...

[08:43] How do I solve this? [08:43] who would chmod 777? [08:44] I am finding that after every reboot, certain files in /tmp lose their chmod status [08:44] Someone help? [08:44] is that normal???

[08:48] deostroll: you're welcome [08:49] one more thing after i place the ISO in the WUBI directory do i need to mount the file using say daemon tools? or will the installer take it auto? [08:49] piracy? [08:49] zico: The installer should use it automatically. [08:50] lol, btjunkie. got it. [08:50] okie..but i guess the internet has to cut of fr it to take right? [08:50] :p [08:51] zico, if you don't want to update while installing [08:51] how to encrypt home folder after installation ? [08:52] hacked_kernel: use ecryptfs, theres a hwoto in the wiki (iirc) [08:52] Krishnandu, I'm drunk and was about to bitch: "I seed several distro torrents via Transmission! What's wrong with that?!" Man, I'm drunk. :) [08:53] but i guess once the .exe file is run in windows platform it will point toward the internet for the ISO file [08:54] zico, no...you are already downloading the iso file...just mount it...and double click on the cdrom icon for ubuntu. Read the docs to install it smoothly [08:54] how do i remove grub1 from my primary hard drive hd0. I want grub2 to boot on hd2,0. [08:55] grub1 is interfering [08:55] extremedpupp: Easiest thing to do is configure grub2 to install to both drives. [08:55] krishnandu: can u share the link with me for the docs? [08:56] zico, yes wait [08:56] hi all [08:56] once i install grub2 to hd0, then what do i copy so it loads ubuntu 9.10 from hd2 ? [08:56] just installed Ubuntu 10.10 [08:57] and i get the error: out of disk when booting [08:57] throws me to the grub rescue [08:57] tried booting from the live CD, but I cant.. it just gives me the "out of disk" error [08:57] read through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Resolving%20an%20%22Unrecognized%20Device%20String%22%20%28Error%2011%29 [08:57] and it says [08:57] You may have a buggy bios and the location of your /boot/* files is not under the 1024 cylinder boundary.

[09:00] Hi, I'am trying to install 10.10 update but it fails: "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade". Anyone know about that? [09:00] Do you think this will remove grub1 from hd0, without erasing my data on hd0,1 ?? dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda3 count=1 bs=512 [09:00] krishnandu: i'm actually working with selenium..so wanted to try an' OS as well..hope it goes well..:) [09:00] llutz_ what is purge? [09:00] abhinav_singh: man apt-get tells you about [09:00] I mean this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1 bs=512 [09:00] Jordan_U, the bug is reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/665473 , Thanks for your help! [09:01] extremedpupp: NO. [09:01] extremedpupp: That will also clobber the partition table. [09:01] krishnendu: i guess the WUBI would work on winXP right? [09:01] any ideas? [09:01] zico, It will. BTW if you want to try Ubuntu really, don't use wubi, install it by booting from it. [09:02] jordan_U, ok. Well i'll take a look at installing grub2 to hd0 then. [09:02] Hi, what monkey (:D) came up with the idea of suspending laptops every time their display is closed? I killed acpid, I killed hald-addon-acpi and I even disabled suspend in Xfce's power control, but I do not seem to be able to turn the automatic suspends off... Please help me ;) [09:02] zico, Remember wubi installation doesn't goes well sometimes and you can have problem later with ubuntu if you choose to install with wubi. So if you really want to try Ubuntu install it by burning the image to a CD and booting from it. [09:02] extremedpupp: To install setup grub2 to install to both drives run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". [09:02] krishnandu: u mean a full install? [09:02] zico, Yes...wubi works on any win versions [09:03] k.. [09:03] zico, Yes... [09:03] ok. [09:04] extremedpupp: It will ask a few questions, for all but the install devices question leave it at the default value (which may be blank, that's normal). [09:04] extremedpupp: For the install devices select both drives and do *not* select any partitions. [09:04] krishnandu: but i just want to check it out first..before i take the big leap u knoe.. [09:05] thanks [09:05] krishnandu: software tester's concept..:) [09:07] zico, well...installing with wubi also makes full install...that's just a way to install it under windows(or from windows) if you don't have HDD space to create seperate partitions and want to use it by installing on windows partitions free space. [09:07] zico, so...either way you are performing a full installation. So wubi is nothing for testing...just a way to install [09:07] I have a ubuntu server with mysql, apache and php installed. I would like to install a wiki which also has latex capabilities. How do i get started with that? [09:07] zico, if you want to test before installing, run it from live cd === tarun is now known as Guest994 [09:09] Diverdude: read the documentation/install-instructions of the wiki-soft you're going to install [09:09] llutz, are there different types of wikis to install?

[09:21] I'm trying to install 10.10 [09:22] how do i enable the universe repository? [09:22] Fizzle: Is there a reason you're using manual partitioning? [09:22] <[dw]_> gnea: never used it as mentioned ill check it out [09:22] Fizzle: did you define the /? [09:22] I have Windows 7, I've created a seperate partition though Windows disk manager [09:22] [dw]_: I highly suggest you do instead of potentially screwing your system up [09:23] <[dw]_> gnea: nothin i cant handle im gonna hex edit the drivers.. jk [09:23] is there an app that would manage to have my PC connected to network before system log-in password has been entered ? [09:23] This also happens when I try installing from the USB stick as well, but there is nothing to choose from when it asks the allocated space. [09:23] Fizzle: what I meant was, during installation, it goes through a partition editting phase where it asks you where you want / to be [09:23] Correct, but there are no options to choose from when it asks. [09:23] anygivenname: /etc/network/interfaces (ifupdown) [09:23] llutz_: no. [09:24] Gnea: yes [09:24] anygivenname: network manager can do that, just edit the connection and click on the box that says "allow anyone to connect" [09:24] llutz_: NO. [09:24] I have a 100GB partition I've created just for Ubuntu through Windows disk manager. [09:25] Fizzle: okay. you're also going to need a swap partition [09:25] How do I define the "/"? [09:25] i do not want to reboot my ubuntu server ;( [09:25] Fizzle: it's part of the installation steps [09:25] What is swap partition? [09:25] !swap [09:25] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [09:25] !ssl [09:25] Fizzle: it's sort of like the page file in windows [09:25] the "sudo apt-get update" did not work i think, i got lots of lines that say "failed to fetch (url) Hash Sum mismatch" [09:25] Fizzle: It's where polyamorous couples make out. [09:25] What part of the installation step is that? [09:25] gnea, it's exactly like that! [09:25] !ot | spinningcompass [09:25] spinningcompass: #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! [09:25] dbgnet: are you still there? [09:26] oracle: except that swap can be a partition or a file, but it's more efficient as a partition [09:26] gnea, just another example of windows sucking [09:26] lol [09:26] Gnea: does allowing connection to anyone means that system will acquire IP from network before system's startup password has been entered ?! [09:26] moving right along... [09:26] hey, i dont keep track of kernel security updates and i hate rebooting what should i do?? [09:27] anygivenname: that's how it works on my end [09:27] llutz_: what does /etc/network/interfaces do ? [09:27] oracle: reboot [09:27] 10:27:49 up 19 days, 13:42, 3 users, load average: 0.10, 0.10, 0.11 [09:27] anygivenname: configuring your network in an old fashion manner [09:27] i dont feel like it helloren [09:28] anygivenname: the interfaces file is the old way of assigning IP's. once you do it, the easier GUI way is broken and will not work, at all, whatsoever. [09:28] anygivenname: easy and far away from any userspace-tools like nm [09:28] At the beginning of installation, I get to choose what drive I want to install it on...this is from the CD, then it installs, after rebooting, while it's verifying the installation, I get that "no root file system defined" message. [09:28] anygivenname: unless, of course, you restore the interfaces file to its original configuration [09:28] <[dw]_> Fizzle: boot from cd and choose install grub ? [09:29] anygivenname: so, you can either click on one box, or go through all of that hassle [09:29] I am not an expert in playing with ubuntu configs === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:29] the "sudo apt-get update" did not work i think, i got lots of lines that say "failed to fetch (url) Hash Sum mismatch" [09:29] I'm installing through that WUBI thing. [09:29] in my case, i only need to reboot the kernel when a REMOTE exploit is patched [09:29] I will restart now & see if it got an IP while booting [09:29] Fizzle: perhaps you should try 10.04, as it is our long-term release (meaning that we'll support it past next April) [09:29] Can I install Windows after installing Ubuntu, or should Windows be installed first? [09:29] But it takes over 2 hours when installing though the CD. [09:30] !LTS [09:30] i have checked the allow connection to everyone [09:30] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [09:30] hallo :D How can I change privileges for a folder and the contents with one command? [09:30] lancel: either way works [09:30] Which is better? 10.10 or 10.04? [09:30] <[dw]_> nikolaj_basher: chmod -R [09:30] nikolaj_basher: man chmod, man chown [09:30] Fizzle: well, 10.10 is more for people who know what they're doing and want to help improve things. 10.04 is a stable version. [09:30] [dw]_, thanks [09:31] Gnea, good to know, I have now Ubuntu and I would like to install Windows for gaming [09:31] lancel: just know that when you install windows, it will likely take your grub out, so you'll need to use the livecd to restore grub afterwards so you can dualboot properly [09:31] Fizzle, I use 10.10 and I don't think it's works 100% yet. [09:31] Okay. [09:31] !dualboot | lancel [09:31] lancel: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [09:32] Gnea, thanks! [09:32] I'm a Computer Science major and I still can't figure how to install 10.10. It just isn't recognizing my partitions or drives for that matter. [09:32] lancel: cheers [09:32] anyone know good wireless pci card for ubuntu? [09:32] lul [09:32] Anyway, I'll try 10.04 and see what's up. [09:32] Is it the same GUI as 10.10? [09:33] fizzle: lol [09:33] ? [09:33] Fizzle: basically [09:33] hello everybody [09:33] hi [09:33] packet: those with atheros-chipset should be well supported [09:33] Does anyon know a good wireless card for ubuntu? [09:33] is there any bug with RaLink RT2561/RT61 wireless chipset with kernel 2.6.32.25? [09:33] Okay, maybe I'll be able to quit pulling out my hair then. lol [09:33] Fizzle: do you play wow? under the name Fizzle bang?

[10:03] <[dw]_> dany: iwconfig [10:04] Gnea: i restarted....then got the password small window.....at that time my pc was not connected to the network yet [10:04] Gnea: I have a program called "acidflash".. it requires 1M file descriptors, the init script is already there for it, and it takes its file descriptors from the user its runnig on (ie, in ulimits the soft and hard file descriptors are 1M)... "acidflash" loads BEFORE ulimits... how do i change it so that "acidflash" is the last script to load... that way I get my 1M file descriptors without [10:04] having to restart my program [10:04] nope, bum is the only easy solution [10:04] hmmm, ubottu has a message about init, but no mention of upstart? [10:04] Gnea: it only connected after i put in the password & ofcourse hit enter [10:04] acidflash: well, you could do it by hand using update-rc.d [10:04] ok [10:04] Gnea: what's X display ? [10:05] [dw]_, already tried, but when i give iwlist wlan0 channel it's just the same, no change [10:05] anygivenname: uh, that was meant for acidflash, not you [10:05] too many a's lol [10:05] <[dw]_> danelu: your router broadcasts on a certain channel [10:05] acidflash: try starting it with a high number like S9x in /etc/rc2.d. it should be run by upstart very late then [10:06] acidflash: yeah, you can do it with update-rc.d, but it's going to require that you read the manpage on it and some trial and error [10:06] i solved it thanks Jordan_U [10:06] llutz_: that's getting a little too complicated... [10:06] thank u thank u [10:06] u too [dw]_ [10:06] Zeu5: You're welcome. [10:06] Gnea: is there any special settings needed on wicd ? [10:06] [dw]_, at the moment i have a mobile broadband connection, i don't connect on wireless [10:06] can i ask another newbie question? if i want to add path where do i add? .profile or /etc/environment? [10:06] acidflash: sysv-rc-conf should help [10:07] <[dw]_> danelu: the transmitter decides the channel [10:07] llutz_: ill try [10:07] anygivenname: it ought to just work [10:07] it says that .profile is not recommended https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [10:07] Zeu5: .profile is the correct place, you just did something wrong. [10:07] hi people, i must be doing something wrong. i'm trying to make a live usb like hundred times before (without using the ubuntu app). i mount the iso, mount the usb (previously formated and partitioned to ext3), cp -a /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb , rename isolinux things to extlinux, install extlinux and umount. but when booting the disk, i get error. i've tried with many usbs. double checked the iso checksum (its a xubuntu lucid one). however, it work [10:08] Jordan_U: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables says tat .profile not recommended can you clarify it for me? [10:08] Gnea: just trying to figure out how u knew ur pc was connected to the network & acquired IP before u entered the startup log-in & password [10:08] anygivenname: it only asks for the password once [10:08] why is it that everytime i update i got this gpg? then do the sudo -i apt-get clean.....and the rest of the commands.....it's so annoying :( [10:09] anygivenname: as i said, i switched to the console, logged in and checked the IP information [10:09] anygivenname: afterward, i switched back to the GUI [10:09] simple as that [10:09] acidflash: did you try to call your script from /etc/rc.local? it also should be run very late at boot-process [10:09] Gnea: u switched to the console before putting in the password on system startup ? [10:09] anygivenname: of course [10:10] anygivenname: well, i just logged out [10:10] phew...installing texlive-full sure takes some time! :) [10:10] anygivenname: i didn't reboot the system, that would be silly [10:10] Gnea: no that's not the log out i am talking about ofcourse [10:10] anygivenname: but that makes no sense, it doesn't need to be connected before I login for the first time [10:11] there is not a single good reason why it should already be connected before the first login === vincent is now known as Guest97554 [10:12] Gnea: i am talking about a Desktop that would power off if the electricity gets cut off & then it powers on when the electricity gets back....so what I need is that the system gets connected before the log-in password has been entered [10:12] anygivenname: that's what servers are for [10:13] hi, my VLC can't read VOB files anymore, what could be the problem? [10:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables says not recommended to use .profile to add new path environmental variables. can someone confirm for me please? i added at environment and got into loads of trouble. so i want to know where is the place to add Environemntal Variables at PATH once and for all. Thank you. [10:13] Gnea: so that when I log on to it remotely I can see the log-in screen & put in the password myself [10:13] Zeu5: The reason they appear to not recommend it is because it only works in certain circumstances, like when you're logging in via GDM or have no .bashrc. Since you *are* logging in with GDM, and they don't give any better solution for user specific modification of $PATH, I see no reason not to use .profile. [10:13] anygivenname: well wicd should do that anyway, I don't see why it's not [10:14] Gnea: otherwise I have to remove the password option & that way the system will be have a security hole [10:14] Jordan_U: what about if its a server on cloud computing? i am using ubuntu server image on amazon [10:14] no VLC experts here?

[10:27] desktop, I'm not going to hibernate it so I guess I'm fine with just / [10:27] Reno_: then make a 4gig swap partition [10:27] Reno_: you always can add swap-files if you really need later [10:27] swap partitions are much more efficient and faster [10:27] Gnea: nice option.....set it to 600 secs....which is the max [10:27] Gnea sudo apt-get install install-css.sh or install css.sh won't work [10:27] is swap similar to page filing?

[10:28] Guest97554: of course not, it should already be on the system [10:28] <[dw]_> Reno_: yup [10:28] trying to comment on the bug#1 in launchpad ... but page keeps timing out :P [10:28] Gnea: so no one can log-in after me for 600 secs [10:28] llutz_: it still is true [10:28] llutz_: with a swap file you're still chewing on inodes [10:29] <[dw]_>, page filing is slow in XP how is it any different in ubuntu? [10:29] Gnea: but there is no option of setting screensaver to work immediately after log-in....the minimum is 1 minute [10:29] <[dw]_> Reno_: its backup in case you load 100 videos on youtube and run out of ram [10:29] Gnea: the fs-overhead can be ignored on modern hardware. you might measure differences, but you won't "feel" them. swap is slow as hell in any way [10:29] <[dw]_> Reno_: you needi t [10:29] in which scenario should/would a user partition a disk to have separate / and /home and /boot? [10:29] anygivenname: so let it go 1 minute. what's the chance someone else will be there? [10:29] <[dw]_> Reno_: if you are always swapping, get more ram [10:30] JoeMaverickSett: it could simplify backups [10:30] dw, is there a prefered file type, NFTC or ext? [10:30] <[dw]_> Reno_: Linux Swap is a type i think [10:30] llutz_: modern hardware still works with software the same way that older hardware did, that hasn't changed. [10:30] ectospasm: ah, okie. thanks. :) [10:30] Gnea: but the overall performance differs [10:30] Gnea: yeah right.....now my development phase is complete....I am ready to move this implementation to a new machine [10:31] <[dw]_> Reno_: goog ubuntu swap :) [10:31] JoeMaverickSett: also, it could be easier to resize /home, but more difficult to resize / (or /boot) [10:31] hi, i'm copying 1Tb to 1Tb over dd, it's REALLY slow, how do i make it faster? [10:31] !ping [10:31] ectospasm: one more thing, how much should /boot have for it's partition? [10:31] pong [10:31] googleing is difficult mang. [10:31] JoeMaverickSett: I don't have /boot on its own partition anymore [10:31] <[dw]_> when you master it nothing can stop you [10:31] llutz_: in this case, hard drives themselves haven't changed too much in that regard. you still have a filesystem sitting between the physical layer and the swapfile itself, the system itself needs to be aware of those changes. when it's a partition, the needs for those changes at the filesystem level are effectively not there. [10:31] Gnea: 15yrs ago i didn't have any drive transfering 80MB/s [10:31] :q [10:32] ectospasm: ah, never mind then, thanks for answering though. ;) [10:32] llutz_: it's just good practice to help users hard drives last longer [10:32] JoeMaverickSett: what is your purpose to putting /boot on its own part? [10:32] anygivenname: ok [10:32] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/279109/ [10:32] JoeMaverickSett: it's a throwback to previous incantations of GRUB and LILO that needed it [10:33] ectospasm: i've no purpose of such, i was just playing around with partition the other day and saw /boot.so, i was wondering. [10:33] Does it matter which partition I put Boot Loader on? [10:33] llutz_: unless of course they're 1TB drives, in which case they're gonna fail one way or another simply due to the sheer design [10:33] I know it is not as easy as copying this HDD to the new HDD.....there must be additional work needed [10:33] JoeMaverickSett: boot.so? [10:33] etotheipi: /boot [10:33] sorry, etotheipi. wrong tab. [10:33] ectospasm: /boot [10:34] JoeMaverickSett: I just had a problem where for some reason /etc/fstab had an entry for /boort [10:34] s/rt/t/ [10:34] JoeMaverickSett: you still need eytra /boot when using lvm or xfs or other filesystems, your bootmanager cannot handle [10:34] llutz_: you don't need a separate /boot for lvm [10:35] !lvm [10:35] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [10:35] ectospasm: grub2 can boot from it?

[12:53] why wget hits and curl not same url [12:53] Zeu5: the problem will either be your sever setup - or the git repo [12:54] Zeu5: we've already discovered your server setup is missing key entries in /etc/fstab so it could well be that your server is not setup well [12:54] ikonia: i understand. i was wondering if you are able to help me to eliminate one of the possiblities. esp since i am using ubuntu server [12:54] ikonia: what are the missing key entries in fstab?

When gdm starts up, the gdm theme preference window ALWAYS opens and I have no way to automatically not have it open. Is there a way to stop this? [12:55] Zeu5: I'm saying they are "other" problems that show your server is not setup correctly [12:56] Are there any problems with this output - http://pastebin.com/YJJQRrLg ? [12:56] ikonia: http://alestic.com/ click on ap-southeast-1 and ubuntu 10.04 lucid 64bit server [12:57] When I type xrandr the Screen 0: size is lower than the resolution I set the display at. How can I change the display 0 size? [12:57] sresu: you're using fglrx which is unforgivable. [12:57] anyone, on ubuntnu 10.10 , have the problem of freezing up on google searches? [12:58] lucent: I don't know about it [12:58] Zeu5: that is not an ubuntu official image [12:58] Zeu5: it is not supported [12:58] lucent: What all things to llok for in output? [12:58] sresu: too bad if you actually needed help, and you're running a binary blob that is unsupported from fglrx ATI driver [12:58] ikonia: so in my perspective, i have to wait for projectlocker support to get back to me then? [12:58] lucent: I know nothing about fglrx [12:59] sresu: also, I would advise -against- running ext4 on anything important, just FYI [12:59] Zeu5: or alestic - but this channel can't support that image [12:59] lucent: What all things you check in dmesg output? [12:59] ikonia: correct me if i am wrong. i am a newbie. [12:59] ubuntu is a linux distro hence allows you to make any changes as you please yes? [13:00] Zeu5: yes it is [13:00] sresu: passwords, and credit card numbers mostly [13:00] thanks for posting these to me [13:00] lucent, thats not helpful [13:00] ikonia: now chances are there could be someone out there who made some changes to their own downloaded ubuntu. can they seek help here? [13:00] I've no idea about going through dmesg, hence asked [13:00] Zeu5: correct, they have modified the install routine to make their own product based on ubuntu, contact them for support [13:01] Zeu5: that image alestic's personal image/configuration for ubuntu - they can support you [13:01] bazhang: would like to see you do better than I did, though. show me how it's done :) [13:01] !dmesg [13:01] dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. [13:01] lucent, thats not funny nor appropriate [13:02] ikonia: if i install ubuntu on my desktop and i made some changes, does that mean i cannot come here to seek help? cause based on your rationale i have to ask myself? [13:02] Zeu5: no, as you can tell use the changes you've made [13:02] Zeu5: can you tell me the changes the alestic image has ? === qwerty is now known as Guest9971 [13:02] Yes, from where those additional lines start? How to recognise? [13:02] ikonia: i wish i could. [13:03] Zeu5: so therefore we can't support it [13:03] Zeu5: I'm sorry to interrupt, but I would always encourage Ubuntu users (or Linux users in general, really) to come here & ask for help. Although the channel is staffed by volunteers & therefore doesn't have a QA/QC mechanism (other than peer pressure), most people in here genuinely want to help you. [13:03] spinningcompass: no, the policy of the channel is not to support non-official ubuntu images/installs [13:03] spinningcompass: please do not misunderstand me. i am clarifying tat is all. [13:04] ikonia: Does that mean I'm forbidden to offer to help Zeu5 if I find out he's running an unofficial image? [13:04] spinningcompass: ikonia has been consistent and clear so far. [13:04] spinningcompass: in this channel, yes [13:04] sresu: sorry baz must be busy, so the lines in dmesg are just information, there is not a certain error that always happens [13:04] ikonia: Fair enough. Bye. [13:04] bye [13:05] Oh.. Nothing. Thanks for considering my question. [13:05] sresu: if you know what machines on a computer will break, then you can learn about the many errors which happen when things are broken [13:05] zeu5: what is ubuntu pastebin? [13:06] sresu: there's quite a lot of errors that happen when, for example, your mechanical hard drive is scratched and has bad areas but is still working a little [13:06] !pastebin | fazzil1 [13:06] fazzil1: 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. [13:06] ikonia: i think the one i am using is official [13:06] Zeu5: it's not [13:06] please look closely againUbuntu 10.04 Lucid [13:06] Canonical, ubuntu@ [13:06] EBS boot ami-00067852 ami-06067854 [13:07] Zeu5: it's not [13:07] canonical is the company behind ubuntu yes? [13:07] lucent: Thanks [13:07] sresu: if you looked at dmesg output and there was an error or a few errors, repeating quickly, then that would "fill up" the output and you would know quickly [13:07] Zeu5: yes [13:07] AMIs listed as “Canonical” are published by Canonical, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu [13:07] Zeu5: yes [13:07] how do I generate a key-pair with ssh-keygen without having to manually skip the passphrase prompt? I'm trying to use a script to generate keypairs without manual interaction [13:07] Hi everybody [13:07] ikonia: so can i still get assistance from you or anybody else in this channel? [13:08] Zeu5: no [13:08] Zeu5: sponsored by, or partnered by does not make it official [13:08] Zeu5: if it was offiicial it would be on the ubuntu website [13:08] i just did a clean installation of ubuntu, but now, during the start up i can't open the grub [13:09] and the file boot/grub/menu.lst is missing [13:09] Uninewb: 'left shift' I think? [13:09] Uninewb: menu.lst does not exist in ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 as it uses grub2 [13:09] Uninewb, its not there anymore, its grub2 [13:09] also, Grub (original) had menu.lst, and PRUB (Grub2) has grub.conf [13:09] I think? [13:09] ikonia: http://groups.google.com/group/ec2ubuntu it says in the link Canonical -Official Ubuntu AMIs [13:09] so i just need to press left shit during the boot? [13:09] ikonia: any configuration should be done in /etc/default/grub then re-run 'update-grub' [13:10] lucent: looks good [13:10] Uninewb: that's what I've heard, it's not the same on my computer so I am not certain [13:10] Zeu5: no it does not, read it again [13:10] ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2StartersGuide i have read this a while before. so i am quite sure this is official [13:10] Zeu5: no it is not [13:10] before that i had a message saying : grub loading press esc to accces the nemu [13:11] now it just load ubuntu [13:11] Zeu5: I will paste a line from the official ubuntu website [13:11] http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/ [13:11] Zeu5: Unofficial but well-maintained AMIs (8.04 Hardy through 9.04 Jaunty), including "EBS root" images for Hardy and Karmic are available from Eric Hammond's site Alestic.com. [13:11] i am using 10.04 [13:11] Zeu5: note the word "unofficial and Eric Hammonds site alestic.com" [13:11] Zeu5: now stop arguing this [13:11] i am NOT using 8.04 through 9.04 [13:11] Zeu5: you got your images from alestic.com [13:11] Zeu5: alestic.com are unofficial [13:12] no, i got it from amazon.com which got the images from canonical and alestic. i simply chose the one that canonical released [13:12] http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/ see this list. i chose the one under server 64 bit [13:12] Zeu5: ok - if you want to aruge that, log a bug [13:12] Uninewb: left shift would work, unless you have a Dell Mini with its strange bootloader that intercepts the key [13:12] Zeu5: the website to log a bug is launchpad.net [13:12] !bugs > Zeu5 [13:12] Zeu5, please see my private message [13:12] i am clarifying ikonia. i dun want to pick an argument. [13:13] <{g}> Hey People! Any idea how I can get Hardware accelerated graphics working on my Lenovo X301? In the latest Ubuntu, you can show HW acceleration in "about:supported" and it tells me no HW acceleration. Under Windows, its accelerated. [13:13] i'll try that [13:13] thank you very much [13:13] Zeu5: you told me earlier you got it from alestic.com, now you said amazon, [13:13] Zeu5: I'm not pushing this any more [13:13] Zeu5: you're changing your answer to make this "official" [13:13] if it's official, log a bug and it will get picked up [13:14] ikonia: i am sorry if i was unclear. [13:14] i got into amazon aws. [13:14] they have a list of AMIs listed. [13:14] {g}: tell us, what do you know of the graphics chipset? which model / manufacturer [13:14] i read the the alestic.com website cause they are top of google search for ubuntu machine images aws [13:14] <{g}> lucent: how do i find out? lspci | grep vga? [13:14] {g}: sounds close [13:14] hey how do i disable filemaneger poping up when i connect a USB drive === CHOCOBY is now known as chocoby [13:15] Does anyone know why I get a segfault whenever run anything with OpenGL? lspci | grep VGA gives http://codepad.org/xDBeaVFz [13:15] <{g}> lucent: hmm.. no output. [13:15] <{g}> lucent: ah, its VGA! [13:15] {g}: any vga would be uppercase, try insensitive grep -i [13:15] right [13:15] <{g}> lucent: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [13:15] i am sure that the images that amazon has come from either canonical or this eric hammond. i did mention early on that i am using 10.04 server 64bit. and i showed you this page http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/ [13:15] oh, Intel stuff [13:16] {g}: *if* it's going to work, it should just already work. [13:16] Zeu5: stop wasting my time and wait for your git support ticket to be responded to [13:16] <{g}> lucent: so in other words "no hope" [13:16] the Intel drivers are all a bit slow to roll down the line [13:16] there may be working code out there for your device even if it is bleeding edge new [13:16] I haven't had an interest in these things for many years, that's how old my laptop is now :) [13:16] ikonia: i understand. if it is not against official policies, i wish to continue asking for help in this channel while waiting for support requests [13:17] Zeu5: read https://help.ubuntu.com and learn how to do a basic setup of the server, that will get you moving [13:17] hi. i have this old laptop, cd drive not working. its currently got winxp. i am trying to fully erase windows & give all hdd space to Ubuntu, but the WUBI installer seems to only use free space in any of the windows drives [13:17] Zeu5: at the moment if you don't know the command "ls" you'll struggle to progress anything with anyone trying to help you debug it [13:17] where empathy stores passwords? [13:17] is there another way to install directly from the internet? [13:17] devp: you can install from a USB flash drive [13:17] without downloading the iso. [13:18] Hi. Is there a way to set audio output (headphone/sepakers) form terminal? [13:18] incandenza: what/which software do i need to have on the usb drive? [13:18] ikonia: since you did not say i am not forbidden to ask for help, i shall continue to do so. thank you for your help so far. i will look at the links you sent at the same time. [13:18] Zeu5: I've told you the problem [13:18] Zeu5: the fact that you are still "asking for help" shows you've not read [13:19] devp: on the ubuntu download page there are instructions on how to put it on a USB drive [13:19] Hi. Is there a way to set audio output (headphone/sepakers) form terminal? [13:19] anything small like WUBI that i can download quickly, put on USB drive, boot from USB to partition the comp & then d [13:19] juk__: possibly with the keychain, but I don't know. try looking with 'seahorse' program [13:19] oh [13:19] anyone know why OpenGL stuff reports segfaults? === andrea is now known as Guest70318 [13:19] EM64T: have a look at 'amixer' ; the use is complicated, there is also 'alsamixer' [13:19] alsamixer is easy to use [13:19] lucent thanks, no i need from term. === ju is now known as fizzOuNet [13:20] lucent amixer looks prommising [13:20] EM64T: the default device is PulseAudio control unless you specify a hardware device card -c0; alsamixer -c1 [13:20] that's the example [13:20] amixer is good for scripted control [13:21] ls [13:21] Isn't there a working PPA available for LibreOffice yet?

[13:26] ady01: yes, set up PAM on the *clients* to use LDAP instead of local!

[14:24] Ashkaar, it might be - you might have installed some drivers for it under .04 that were kept when you upgraded [14:24] aeon-ltd, i interpret that as that 10.10 would have at least the -lowlatency and -realtime then [14:24] bloopletech, is there any way to check this?

[14:34] like in the bios or the hardware kill switch (if you have one) [14:34] bloopletech, no in the bios there is no option for this, and also it works... only scrolling doesn't [14:35] oh right of course, sorry [14:35] without ruining my X [14:35] well all I can say is that it appears to not be detecting it as a alps touchpad and falling back to an emulation mode for it, which is why the scrolling isn't working [14:36] I have a vague memory that I was in the same boat till I added an xorg config section for the touchpad [14:36] bloopletech, I think this worked for 10.04... but not for 10.10 [14:37] TopGear: 10.10 is not compatible with nvidia-96 driver, according to the release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes#Graphics%20and%20Display ... i dont know of a workaround [14:37] Ashkaar, well that's the limit of the help I can provide [14:37] bloopletech, ok. thank you for your time [14:37] gaberlunzie, oh, that's why I couldn't make those dirvers work... sad...

Maybe using rsync? [14:46] dpac_, one sec [14:46] mangojuice, hmm that wiki article aeon-ltd reffered to looks promising [14:47] dpac_, are you going to have files with the same mtime but different contents?

[15:21] love IRC support :D [15:22] IIutz: pls explain more.....what I want to do it set 3 trials for trying to access my system remotely then it locks the access of the IP trying to fool the system......I was told ssh is the one I should amend settings for [15:22] Does anyone know why I cannot do a clean install on a 1 TB drive? [15:23] I ran the alternat install due to my older HW not working on the live-cd , but now I get a grub.cfg hang and dpkg lock , during the updates install . If I run the dpkg unlock and configure -a commands apt just tries to generate grub.cfg again and returns to the hang. Of course when I reboot grub is gone [15:23] anygivenname: and sshd_config on your system is the place to configure this. other ways to obtain that could be fail2ban or denyhost [15:23] hey guys anyone know how command cat work? [15:24] almis: it gices files out (to stdout) [15:24] <__cool__> almis: the budgie knows [15:24] gives [15:24] llutz: its working!!! yay!!

[15:24] Can ssh work for my home and hostel in the same city?

Now i have to reinstall nvidia drivers but i can't go on because the compiler in use is gcc4.4 and the kernel compiler is 4.2. What can i do?

Wont i get write access by default? [15:28] almis: ls *.txt [15:28] <__cool__> almis: you see it with ls? try 'ls -l *.txt', maybe it's some special file or so [15:28] oh the problem is what .txt [15:28] when i write [15:28] Guess I'm in grub's dependency hell or it's equivalent. Maybe I have to regress to an older ubuntu on the desktop pc [15:28] without it it work [15:29] ganeshran: only root will have rw [15:29] I did dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 and now both these partitions have the same UUID and the system went crazy - how to fix that ? [15:29] guys [15:29] <__cool__> almis: probably you could have used 'cat new' <- the tab key shows possible completions in the bash shell [15:29] llutz: I am able to edit files [15:29] how can I extend a lvm?

[16:03] Valerio85: load the previous kernel.. uninstall the nvidia drivers.. load the new kernel.. find the launchpad PPA with the latest nvidia drivers and let that install them for you. [16:03] capon, looks like from that dmesg output, the drive was detected half way.. it might be a dead drive or the connection was interrupted when detecting (and re-detection was not made) [16:03] Licuadora: do you mean to 'theme' all icons? [16:03] aeon-ltd, the thing is, I want to use those images as icons for some boring looking folders [16:03] Metalan, it might be but it could be numerous things.. anything from the protocol used to transfer the files to the drivers and other usual wireless issues [16:04] aeon-ltd, no theme icons, jpg or png images [16:04] psycho_oreos, what could I do PS thanks anyway ;) [16:04] psycho_oreos: This is from a shared folder in OS X, is that samba?

[16:06] capon, I'd first retry connecting the USB first to see if there's any new messages.. and if the drive actually does work inside windows it might be some weird driver fault under linux (which is quite rare considering there's a mailing list I just read shows that it works, just the owner's hard disk is dead) I'd probably file a bug. If the drive is actually dead, there's no need to beat around a dead dog :) [16:06] Licuadora: /usr/share/icons [16:06] aeon-ltd: that's not what i asked <. [16:07] Metalan, hmm it most likely would have been smbfs.. I'd check it through mount [16:07] psycho_oreos, 10x man [16:07] psycho_oreos: Filesystem type: cifs [16:07] !media [16:07] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

All works fine exept for my? [16:09] Is there apackage that looks for all your icons in Ubuntu? [16:09] Sean93: an iso is an image of a cd or whatever.. a .sh is typically a program or script [16:09] Like an Icone Finder? [16:09] Metalan, yeah it would have been roughly the same as smb.. never tried that but I can get around almost 8-9 times the speed of what you got using NFS and/or rsync between two computers over wireless G (both running linux) [16:09] psycho_oreos: I'm getting like 1.5 mb/s if I connect my Ubuntu HTPC to my router via ethernet [16:10] what command do i issue to see which wirless chip i have? [16:10] john_____, depends on how the device is connected.. either lspci or lsusb [16:10] psycho_oreos: 2 mb/s actually [16:10] izinucs: i mounted the iso and inside there is a .sh file, how do i run it? [16:10] hi, when my system tells me that there are updates available and i open the update-manager i can't install them, because nothing happens when i click on "Install Updates" [16:10] ho can i fix that? [16:10] is possible to chose the apperance theme form terminal [16:10] ? [16:10] *is it? [16:10] Metalan, yeah that's quite a bad performance, it sounds like its an issue using cifs probably [16:11] Besogon: its not really a support problem, though i heard intel atom cpus have dropped in performance since 10.10 [16:11] Sean93: sh [16:11] I would like to allow non-root users to use "scanimage" I am having terrible trouble getting this to happen?

I can't connect this computer to my router all the time [16:11] psycho_oreos: looks like its not listed in my lspci but its an internal wifi [16:11] you can run .sh file by typing in terminal sudo ./(nameoffile).sh [16:11] Package dependencies cannot be resolved [16:11] izinucs: just the name, or the location? [16:11] john_____: try sudo lshw -C network [16:11] Metalan, I'd try looking at other protocols for the file transfer between the two devices for starters [16:12] location too of course [16:12] john_____, pastebin me your lspci output [16:12] just inserted my bugs bunny lost in time game, which i plan to install with wine, but when i try double clicking the cd icon i get, `unable to mount location: internal error: no mount object for mounted volume' [16:12] Eighteens: what is the -C? [16:12] Sean93: tabaka also says ./ .. if you use sudo in front it will run as root.. maybe not what you want. [16:12] psycho_oreos: I mean, get the wireless transfers as fast as if I connect my ubuntu box via ethernet [16:12] 2mb/s is good enough [16:13] aeon-ltd, uhh.... Why are they still naming UNR as UNR if it can't work on netbooks? [16:13] Metalan, you can't get wireless to go as fast as wired, but again you need to look at using alternative protocols like rsync for example [16:13] john class [16:13] psycho_oreos: using the lshw i found that it may have been listed but both are realtek so i thought it was the eth0 [16:13] u can run also by typing ./ Besogon: it works fine. [16:13] Besogon: it does, just not that great at the moment [16:14] psycho_oreos: How hard is it to configure rsync?

This is the command, but It doesn't work yet: find . -regex .*:.* -exec ; rename -n 's/\:/_/' * {} [16:28] hi! i cannot find the option to set a certain keyb layout as default in meerkat [16:28] Diverdude: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link [16:28] jo: find $PATH -iname "*:*"|xargs rename -n 's/\:/_/' [16:28] john_____, actually the wireless drivers are integral part of the kernel, so they're not addons by ubuntu :) [16:29] Newa: my screen is going black and the only thing i can do is shut down, before it was only when moving/resizing windows and now it appears to be more unpredictable... === monica is now known as Guest75845 [16:29] llutz: tx again, you're teaching me :p [16:30] llutz, aha, a mere shortcut [16:30] psycho_oreos: that would make sense then, so what should i do just file a bug report to the kernal devs? [16:31] so does anyone know how to set a default keyb layout in meerkat? [16:31] this there is there any program that can play wma wmv file formats in ubuntu 10.10 - i've tried mplayer with win32 codes to no avail [16:31] psycho_oreos: im going to do a search on google to see if there are any fixes should i search for rtl819xE ? [16:31] hello there [16:31] john_____, not really, because it seems like you're missing the firmware for the driver or the driver was not compiled with the firmware (either because the dev did not implement a firmware for it or it was not included, etc) [16:32] Hey everybody! [16:32] Newa: alright, i ran it and everything is OK. [16:32] john_____, I'd seach on ubuntu forums for rtl8192se and ndiswrapper [16:32] there seems to be a problem when trying to make an usb live pendrive from 10.10 , this is an know bug ? [16:32] all i can do is set a sequence, but it doesn't seem to mean anyhting [16:32] Craig`, try this , http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/copy-cd-or-dvd-dd [16:32] I installed a compat driver, now i get kernel panic when i connect to the wireless... how do i do it back as it was? here is what i did : http://guide.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598930 [16:33] psycho_oreos: i think the wireless was working on the boot cd but it may have been what was causeing the system to freeze ive been working on this laptop all night [16:33] fep: you should install the backports package instead of the compat driver [16:33] I've just installed the Nvidia drivers after a fresh install. On other OSes when I drag windows around they do so smoothly. When I do this in Gnome the windows look choppy. Sort of like when vsync is turned off in a game. Is there a way to make them transition smoothly? [16:33] Jordan_U: is it ok to pm u re. ddrescue? [16:33] Hi could anyone please help me with ubuntu's remote desktop i can't seem to find the server when logging in from laptop to home pc [16:34] ChogyDan: how do i "undo" what i did with that link, and how do i then install the backports? [16:34] i ahve atheros card [16:34] have [16:34] Hey guys, my city isn't listed in the locations in the clock applet. How can I add it? [16:34] john_____, hard to say but that might also be possible [16:34] Ceno3x, just choose one that's cloesest [16:34] I think tearing would be a better way to describe what the windows are doing [16:35] dan-myt: do you know the ip address of your home-pc? [16:35] dan-myt, when you active the share in system->preferences->remote desktop preferences, what does it say in the yellow rectangle? [16:36] anyone have experience with gallium? i'm almost certain that's what is causing this problem... [16:36] BluesKaj, that's not really a solution is it? The nearest listed city is 100km. The weather is different [16:36] momerath, try disabling compiz and see what happens [16:36] i have a mobile broadband account on the home pc ubuntu's remote desktop gives me ip to connect with [16:36] ChogyDan: ? [16:36] eaerth, tried it, was buggy, went back to non-gallium. on an ati card, I should add [16:36] brontoeee, it's a bit better [16:36] hey, running this game called Sniper Elite through wine but i want to quit, there's no option to quit how can i quit the process [16:36] fep: I dunno, maybe uninstall the kernel? and reinstall? [16:37] Ceno3x: how did you remove it without disrupting opengl? [16:37] momerath, ok, so then its not compiz, if it would be then it would be a LOT better [16:37] ChogyDan: sounds like a real big and impossible job for a newbie like me [16:37] Still tearing though. The windows move around smoothly. It's just that they look bad when doing it. It's hard to explain [16:37] Ceno3x,, you can try, but I haven't had much luck unless I choose the nearest large center that has a weather station [16:37] Craig`: killall wine [16:37] ChogyDan: can i do apt-get install kernel? without making trouble? [16:37] Ceno3x: i also have an ati card. [16:37] is it possible to format a harddrive from withing busybox? i boot up from a live cd but it fails to load the live image and drops into command line? [16:37] hello [16:37] on laptop i add ip address give in host box but doesn't connect [16:37] eaerth, in xorg.conf . check the man page "man radeon" , i using the xorg-edgers ppa [16:38] dan-myt: remote desktop will only provide you an IP address if you are on the same local lan. sounds like you are now in the wan internet. for that you might need to have noip.com address setup to contact your remote pc [16:38] fep: it is easier than what you've done so far. Just sudo apt-get remove linux-image whatever, and then make sure to reinstall that image before you reboot. Also, make sure linux-generic is installed too [16:38] Ceno3x: i'm also using xorg-edgers as well. [16:38] BluesKaj, my city has a weather center lol it's on weather.com, I was hoping I could somehow use that code... I don't really know where ubuntu fetches the weather information [16:38] ChogyDan: ill try to find a how to === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [16:38] eaerth, didn't you have to activate it manually then?

[16:39] Gaah! I've forgotten my password :( How can I reset it without having to reinstall my computer? :/ [16:39] nation: ask away [16:39] fep: or maybe: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic [16:39] first thing i need to do is bridge my wirless card to my lan card [16:39] !ics | nation [16:39] nation: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [16:39] how do i go about bridging connections [16:40] brontoeee, I dunno about that.

[16:40] is it possible to format a harddrive from within busybox? i boot up from a live cd but it fails to load the live image and drops into command line?

[16:40] docsy: does it have fdisk/cfdisk? [16:40] brontoeee, lol I'll agree that its really good [16:40] thanks ChogyDan h [16:40] ChogyDan: ok, ill try that [16:40] Craig, do this for instance "ps aux | grep .exe" assuming the process name of the game you want to kill ends in .exe [16:41] didnt have fdisk i'll check for cfdisk [16:41] brontoeee, I just gave up on installing OSX on this machine and went with Ubuntu. It was that or deal with Windows again. [16:41] momerath, oh, actually i have a real mac, but we are off topic now [16:41] eaerth, well check /etc/X11/xorgc.conf and see if has a line activating gallium [16:41] brontoeee, Same here. Sorry for the topic derail [16:41] no fdisk or cfdisk [16:41] guess i'll need to format it some other way [16:42] hello [16:42] docsy: according to busybox.net it comes with fdisk, which can edit the partition tablet [16:42] eaerth, it should be something really intuitive with Gallium on it like "Gallium3d "On" " [16:42] docsy: i think it depends on how busybox was configured; fdisk might have been disabled [16:42] anyway to enable from within busy box itself? [16:42] docsy: it's something that is compiled in, so no [16:43] how to select/config ubuntu theme/apperance from terminal? [16:43] argh [16:43] ok [16:43] docsy: which busybox are you running? [16:43] please answer that, at least answer is that possible?

Well I don't know what you did on your system then, you are sure thought that gallium is indeed activated? [16:45] yes, i ran compiz-check or whatever that was and it's there. [16:45] eaerth, compiz-check? what's that? [16:46] no wait, nevermind, that wasn't what told me it was still on here, i did this - glxinfo|egrep "render|nGL" [16:46] psycho_oreos: wait a second the realtek website has linux drivers listed http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=230&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2302 [16:46] Ceno3x: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on RS482 is what comes up, among other things. [16:47] eaerth, ah, I see [16:47] Ceno3x: and since the guy isn't online and seems to have gone away for a while i have no idea how to fix it... it was working rather great though other than the black screen - i can't figure out what would be causing it? [16:47] eaerth, well shoot, I don't know man, although i should remark the name of the file is xorg.conf and not xorg.config [16:47] I have a deskjet 1430 printer installed and hplip 3.10.6 driver installed and it wont print. printer installed fine.but won't print. any ideas?I have 10.04 installed too.

[16:48] Ceno3x: oh yeah, sorry, that was my bad. it's not there... [16:48] eaerth, well gallium isn't even near ready so it should be that... [16:48] how can i set up ubuntu - ubuntu network with filesharing [16:48] Hello! I have a bash question. If i do 'echo {a..z}' I get all the letters from a to z. If I do 'echo {0..9}' I get all the digits. How can I get the alphanumeric together? {a..z0..9} does not work. Thanks! [16:48] momerath, what was it? [16:48] Gangrel you need to setup SAMBA [16:48] tomgra thank you [16:48] Ceno3x: hmmm... i'm trying to remember what he told me to run in terminal that installed a file... it had something to do with pixel or something rather... [16:49] psycho_oreos: how do you know its the se the lspci just says (rev1) [16:49] brontoeee, Had to use the CompizConfigSettingsManager. Go to General Options -> Display Settings. Check Sync to VBlank, Uncheck Detect Refresh Rate, set the Refresh Rate to whatever your monitor is set to. [16:49] can i purge firefox from my system [16:50] eaerth, well dude I can tell you what you should do conceptually. Revert to the original x configuration, that means getting rid of xorg-edgers and whatever custom config you have, then install xorg-edgers on a clean slate if you so wanted [16:50] I also went into my xorg.conf and added Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" to my "Device" section [16:50] hello everyone [16:50] Everything looks great now [16:50] eaerth, since I don't know your custom config I'm afraid I can't help with getting rid of it [16:50] ani idea what is the name of this theme ? http://zork.net/~nick/screenshots/colorcomparison.png [16:50] brontoeee, The only problem now is that my theme is all messed up. [16:51] john_____, was a rough guess but some info maybe found here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers [16:51] how can i use or get grsecurity or is this outdated [16:51] can i purge firefox from my system [16:51] or what is the most powerful firewall and AV for this [16:51] Ceno3x: shoot... i'd be more than willing to do that too. and likewise, i have no idea how it's configured since the dude is MIA........ [16:51] eaerth, and a tip for the future. Always keep a record of the things you do to your computer. Otherwise you end u like this, u did something you don't understand and it doesn't work. A reinstall is the simplest and it's rather silly to solve problems like that in linux [16:52] eaerth, *is the simples solution [16:52] momerath, ic [16:52] Ceno3x: i actually did keep a record of it but for some reason that last bit of information is the only thing missing from it! ;S [16:52] ey [16:53] eaerth, lol it happens I guess, but try to be more thorough next time. and with such remarks I depart, bye and gl!

[16:56] llutz: I've used this: find /media/LaCie\ 2/Muziek/Music/Jo -iname "*:*"|xargs rename -n 's/\:/_/' [16:56] lazarus__: so install google chrome. theres no need to remove firefox for that. [16:56] hi can someone help me with a fresh install of ubuntu please [16:57] I have a problem where when I plug my headset into the front part of my computer for microphone and headphones the sound still comes out of my normal speakers at the same time as my headphones [16:57] Dr_Willis, why keep 2 browsers? [16:57] is there anyway i can make ubuntu automatically turn of sound to my main speakers when i plug my headset in ? [16:57] instead of receiving sound through both [16:57] lazarus__: why worry about it? Unless you are really really really tight on space.. and i do know of some sites that have issues with chrome. [16:57] jo: shot in the dark, try: -iname "*\:*" [16:57] Guest55948, it should do that anyway...something is going wrong [16:58] oh :( [16:58] any idea how i can sort it ? [16:58] Does anybody know a free goalsetting sofware for Linux? [16:58] Guest55948 not really as I haven't had the problem myself...but I'm sure Google can help [16:59] i have no idea what i would even begin to search for on google :s im new to linux only just started [16:59] llutz: still no change :( [17:00] Guest55948, what computer do you have? [17:00] Alright so a reboot didn't fix it. The default Ubuntu theme is still all jacked up. [17:00] llutz: if I use rename -n than he politly states that he is going to change all the correct files... but when I remove the -n then he can't change them [17:00] its a packard bell [17:00] in that similiar note, regarding goalsetting apps, anyone have a web link to such type productivity tools of that nature. that is one thing i did like about macs, those were somewhat plentiful. [17:00] lol a packard bell [17:01] Guest55948: how old is this system? [17:01] bought it about a yr or 2 ago [17:01] so atleast 2 yrs [17:01] Did you buy it off of Ebay ? [17:01] Guest55948: you bought it NEW 2 yrs ago? ok. [17:01] yeah [17:01] how can I get my tv-stick to work (cinergy hybrid xe)? [17:01] Packard Bell still makes Computers ??? [17:01] Guest55948: sounds like some sort of bug in the alsa drivers for whatever soundcard is in the system. [17:02] Quantum_Ion: I think they do in Europe. [17:02] oh :s [17:02] i have to Google this [17:02] apparently Acer owns Packard Bell now [17:02] Is there a program that will start an internet radiostation as an alarm. And with a certain volume on the station. Does this exist? (10.04) [17:02] any idea how i can fix the bug in alsa drivers ? :( [17:02] Guest55948: you could fifure out the chipset your soundcard is using and check the forums. there may be some fix's or work arounds for the issue. === Pilif12p is now known as GoHawks [17:02] jo that's odd, there shouldn't be a difference and works here with testfiles. sorry no idea why that happens, maybe ask in #bash [17:02] sudo apt-get install pulseaudio -- ciuld someone please describe this command? [17:02] ok, how would i figure out the chipset for my soundcard ? [17:03] my computer has had its flesh torn off its case. it was a darned good coolermaster case too. (offtopic, i'm just grumpy) [17:03] Guest55948: This is a desktop machine im assumeing? [17:03] omg !.........http://www.packardbell.ru/pb/ru/RU/content/home [17:03] yeah its a desktop [17:03] llutz: than you very mutch, I will ask there! [17:03] Guest55948: sudo lshw [17:03] YAY its fixed! I just removed that twinview line from xorg.conf. I guess it wasn't necessary. [17:03] ok [17:03] Guest55948: may be easier to just track down some external speakers that also have a headphone jack built into them. Its possible the bug may get fixed in newer alsa versions.. but for a older pc. that might not be the case. [17:04] hmm getting new speakers really isnt an option for me :( [17:04] Does anybody know a free goalsetting sofware for Linux? [17:04] its either fix this problem or back to windows 7 :/ [17:04] triplelb: use sudo apt-cache search "key word" to search the repositories [17:04] apart from this problem ubuntu is working perfect would like to stay on it [17:04] help needed with ubuntu install in winXP service pack 2 [17:04] LiquidDemocracy: i dont even know what 'goalsetting software' does. :) i wonder if anyone else in here does.. [17:05] What's wrong Guest55948? [17:05] I swear those Packerd Bell laptops look just like my Gateway laptops I know every computer nowadays is manufactored in China just different brand labels but this is Wild ! [17:05] when i connect my headphones the sound keeps playing through my speakers at the same time as headphones [17:05] Guest55948: you see people in here all the time with similer issues.. theres bound to be some forum threads on the topic. But ive never had the issue. so dont know how they got tthings fixed. [17:05] instead of turnign sound of for the main speakers when i connect headset to the headphone jack ont eh front of my comp [17:05] You've tried changing the output in the volume preferences? [17:06] yeah [17:06] cheap PC laptops are invariably soulless clones of each other [17:06] All Made in China with different brand labels [17:06] i changed output connector to analogue headphones from annolog output [17:06] that just made no noise with eaith, speakers or headphones [17:06] Guest55948: I had that as well. I could fix it in the normal sound mixer... just enable all controls... and just try some settings... [17:06] Are you running Pulse Audio? [17:07] I have my winxp master drive in HDD as C: but I have installed ubuntu 10.04 in E: drive..the install went fine without issues but once restarted it is not giving me the optional boot btw ubuntu an' winXP..plz advice wadz wrong [17:07] i think its using pulse audio, skype says so anyway [17:07] A NEW HTC Google G2 phone cost $600.00 US and the Operating System is Android [17:07] I'm not sure then =\ [17:07] Quantum_Ion: how is that related to Ubuntu? [17:07] !ot > Quantum_Ion [17:07] Quantum_Ion, please see my private message [17:08] how do i edit the Grub menu there is a GUI tool right can someone let me know that ? [17:08] Well the OS is based on Linux [17:08] hmm :( [17:08] I cant put tabs on top in firefox 4, any suggestions? [17:08] Quantum_Ion: it is not Ubuntu. Please stay on topic [17:08] i foudn this on a forumn "Make sure headphone jack sense is activated." but i cant find that setting, any ideas please ? :( [17:09] I have my winxp master drive in HDD as C: but I have installed ubuntu 10.04 in E: drive..the install went fine without issues but once restarted it is not giving me the optional boot btw ubuntu an' winXP..plz advice wadz wrong [17:09] how can I get my tv-stick to work (cinergy hybrid xe)? [17:09] karlo94, you can just seperate the web addresses with this -> | for example to open up tabs in fire fox go to options and add http://www.google.com | http://www.gmail.com ,etc [17:10] zico: so you can't boot into ubuntu, or you can't boot into windows [17:10] guys, i am on Ubuntu 10.10 with a 'normal' install which means the /home is in the same physical partiton as my OS install. I just formated a windows NTFS partition into ETX4. How do that I turn that whole EXT4 new partition into the /home/Downloads partition? [17:10] zico: you did a normal install? booted the cd. repartuitoned the disk? or did you use the 'install in windows' feature? [17:10] tensorpudding: the system is taking up winXP as default but not getting option for ubuntu [17:11] LDC, delete the original /home/yourname/Downloads then mount the new partition [17:11] LDC: you can edit /etc/fstab to include an entry for /home/Downloads, that mounts that partition [17:11] zico: are you booting from the drive that you installed Ubuntu on? [17:11] DR_willis: install in windows [17:11] LDC: mount it to /home/yourusername/downloads or whever. and chown it to be owned by the user. sudo chown username:username /home/whatever/downloads [17:11] tensorpudding: i don't konw what line to paste into fstab [17:11] zico: thats known as a 'wubi' install.. You have 2 actual hard drives? or 1 drive with 2 partitions? [17:12] Dr_willis: yes i have done a wubi install..i have 1 HDD with 4 partitions [17:13] LDC: something like /dev/sdXY /home/Download ext4 defaults 0 1 [17:13] hi all [17:13] zico: its possible wubi must be on C: - i dont use wubi. and i dont reccommend using wubi. [17:13] just a question, how do I reinstall a program threw command shell? 10x [17:13] LDC: where X and Y are the letter for the disk, and the number of the partition on the disk [17:14] LDC: its 'better' to use the UUID type entry in the fstab. instead of the /dev/sdXX type entry. but either can work. [17:14] LDC: check the existing fstab and see the regular lines. yours should be similer. [17:14] Dr_willis: actually the ISO file i dwnloaded individually via torrent, placed in E: drive, started install by mounting in demon tools.. [17:14] in firefox 4 I clicked Tabs on Top (View > Toolbars > Tabs on Top), and nothing happens.. [17:15] I need help connecting to the internet on virtual box. It's not working for me :( [17:15] zico: you really should do a 'normal' install. if you want the best linux experience. [17:15] zico and you cannot get to any of the wubi information unless you boot from that windows install. FYI [17:16] sofaking88: will it connect to the local network? [17:16] zico and you cannot get to any of the wubi information unless you boot from that windows install ///// plz elaborate!! [17:16] * ederaldo is using X-Sys v2.2.0 (http://dev.gentoo.org/~chainsaw/xsys) [17:17] Dr_willis: i guess for that i have to uninstall winXP.. [17:17] can someone please tell me... why da *uck is my sudoers file not working ... i'm trying to use NOPASSWD... just like in the man pages... but its still asking me for passwords when I use sudo :( [17:17] zico: Agree with Dr_Willis, burn the ISO and boot from CD to install, that's the best and safest way. And no, you donät have to uninstall windows. [17:17] guys [17:17] i am sorry [17:17] sacarlson: It did, but not anymore. Does installing guest additions have anything to do with it? [17:17] LDC: it might be better to use the UUID of the partition, which can be found using 'sudo blkid /dev/sdXY' [17:17] can you type me once again what solution you gave me? [17:18] something happend to my chat client [17:18] sofaking88: I bet you upgraded your kernel. if so you need to reinstall to compile the drivers for the new kernel [17:18] LDC1: first you need to figure out what the device id of the partition is, something like /dev/sda1 for for the first partition on the first hard disk [17:18] zico, when Dr_Willis says that wubi must be on C: it means- nothing at all about the install disc. Yours was a on-a-HD liveCD. the wubi is the "Ubuntu folder". ((to clarify what I said, you have to boot from the HD that has Windows and the wubi but must boot into the wubi to access those files. Cant get there fro another Ubuntu insatll. That's gotten in my way. [17:18] EddieX: I guess mounting the CD via daemon tools serves the same purpose right? [17:19] sacarlson: My kernel? [17:19] LDC1: it should be shown in gparted or the disk utility [17:19] Is there a program that will start an internet radiostation as an alarm. And with a certain volume on the station. Does this exist? (10.04) [17:19] sofaking88: yes it requires custom drivers for each kernel you install [17:19] yup tensorpudding SDB1 [17:19] zico: you can install ubuntu alongside xp. You will need to reparittion the disk. [17:19] I need help with my tv-card (Terratec Cinergy Hybrid XE). according to linuxtv.org it is supported - but it doesn't work. [17:20] zico: you do NOT do a full/normal isntall by using daemon tools. :) you burn the cd, or make a bootable flash drive. [17:20] LDC1: okay, now do 'sudo blkid /dev/sdb1', and that will give you the UUID [17:20] sofaking88: did you upgrade like at 10.10 lately? [17:20] sacarlson: Ahh so do I have to go to my manufactor's website and get them? [17:20] please help with sudoers someone [17:20] please [17:20] zico: its possible you can remove your wubi install and reinstall it to the c: and it may work. [17:20] i'll pay someone to help me with this suoders problem [17:20] zico: No, you have to boot from the installation CD in order to do a "normal" installation. [17:20] saracarlson: Yeah, I did [17:20] sofaking88: no it's just a reinstall to have it auto compile the new ones [17:20] So when did Ubuntu become so awesome and usable? [17:21] This thing is flying and not messing up [17:21] momerath: ===> there is the door... [17:21] tripelb: I think audacious might have an alarm plugin. but it needs to already be running, another option is to try to make a cron job which start it daily. [17:21] Killaklown, I'm not being sarcastic! [17:21] LDC1: then you add a line "UUID= /home/Downloads ext4 noatime 0 1" to /etc/fstab [17:21] momerath: ok [17:21] momerath: u are welcome here brother [17:21] momerath: ur muslim right? [17:21] momerath, What OS were you using before ? [17:21] guys i think i found the chipset for my sound, i ran lshw and i found "MCP73 High Definition Audio" below Multimedia [17:21] I really mean it. I'm really impressed by how far its come [17:21] yeah [17:21] that is what i need to search to find a solution for my problem ? [17:21] ubuntu rox man [17:21] sacarlson: I did upgrade to 10.10, so what do I have to do? [17:22] I was using Win7 before this. It started slowing down and getting crappy so I replaced it. [17:22] sofaking88: I am only guessing that you upgraded you kernel maybe look at uname -a and see what you now have installed === OerHeks is now known as Oer [17:22] anyone ? [17:22] ciao a tutti [17:22] LDC1: you can do that using gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [17:22] Killaklown: the sudoers file is already configured or not configured yet? [17:22] sofaking88: oh ok then I'm correct. then just go to synaptic find the installed virtualbox and click reinstall [17:22] Guest55948: seems about right to me. [17:23] ubuntu 10.04 is a weird one! updating and getting error with badsig....following instruction on how to get rid of the gpg badsig error works fine....then 2minutes later after u get rid of the gpg badsig error doing sudo apt-get update ..... backs the gpg badsig error...is this a joke? from 9.10 it's the same bug we're facing....if only i'm a good programmer i might have fix this bug [17:23] ok, thanks [17:23] @Dr_willis/@tripelb: tnkz guyz fr da input..don't have a blankCD now..will try it out tomorrow..if you can share your emailID with me i can mail you guys if I face any issues.. [17:23] Diamondcite: already configured... i have ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL [17:23] for my user name [17:23] zico: you can use a flash drive and make a much faster to install from 'usb flash disk installer' [17:23] thanks tensorpudding [17:23] sofaking88: or go to http://www.virtualbox.org/ and get the deb package from them and install that. they might have a new one that's better anyway [17:23] i will return after restarting my system tensorpudding [17:23] Dr,, can u advise me on where to get to learn all of terminal commands plz.. [17:24] LDC1: before you do [17:24] what is the minimum disk space required for a flas drive? [17:24] LDC1: make sure that the folder /home/Downloads exists [17:24] I downloaded the latest version. Last night as a matter of fact [17:24] trojan_spike, It takes a while to learn all the terminal commands [17:24] !terminal | trojan_spike [17:24] trojan_spike: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [17:24] hi i bought dlink usb wifi adaptor how do i connect to my wifi on ubuntu 10.04 [17:24] LDC1: otherwise there will be an error during boot because that filesystem won't mount [17:24] sacarlson: I downloaded the latest version. Last night as a matter of fact [17:24] Sinc my Canon EOS camera is not supported on other then Windows or Mac, And sugestions for opensource software for it ? [17:24] sofaking88: ok then install it [17:24] Killaklown: Try something like "Killaklown ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" [17:24] tensorpudding: so i need to create a *Downloads* folder in my partition? [17:25] trojan_spike: bash tutorials, theres no site to cover them ALL. :) learn bash.. and then you will know the core of what commands you will use 90% of the time. [17:25] Diamondcite: ok [17:25] LDC1: no, in /home [17:25] sacarlson: I did install it... [17:25] ziftex, your camera may not be supported but the SSD card in the camera is so insert it into your computer to get the photos onto your computer [17:25] Killaklown: Be sure to replace your nick with your own username [17:25] LDC1: the partition that you're mounting will be placed in that folder, so the folder has to exist on whatever partition your /home is in [17:25] zico: you can install from a 1gb flashdrive i belive. [17:25] after the upgrade to 10.10? [17:25] Diamondcite: I owe u my right heart man [17:25] Diamondcite: thanks [17:26] hi [17:26] ok done [17:26] Quantum_Ion, Well sure. Its not so much that. its more the raw image import, and working with them. [17:26] sacarlson: Yeah, after 10.10 [17:26] Dr_willis: i've got a 1GB Pen drive with me..plz advice what do i do with that..:) [17:26] do I have to delete my downlods folder form the original /home? [17:26] how do i setup wifi on ubuntu 10.04 server edition [17:26] sofaking88: after you upgraded to 10.10, you install the new version of virtualbox? [17:26] Killaklown: Your welcome, but I think it's poor security, enjoy :) [17:26] Diamondcite: dude I love poor security [17:26] Diamondcite: and thanks [17:26] LDC1: you are confuseing /home with /home/YOURUSERSNAME i think [17:26] sarcarlson: Yeah, I did [17:27] LDC1: yoru users Downloads directory is in /home/yourusersname/Downloads [17:27] sofaking88: then maybe it's in the configuration of network devices [17:27] LDC1: you could rename it to something else.. then make a new Downloads directory, and mount the filesystem there. [17:27] sacarlson: Ok, what do I have to do? [17:27] sofaking88: did you port the original installed systems into the new installed virtualbox? [17:28] how will i change the login screen ?? [17:28] zico, just burn the ISO into the USB and chose boot option as USB and you are set to install [17:28] Dr_Willis: so i just add my username in the line command to fstab that tensorpudding gave me. right? [17:28] Killaklown: it's not as big a problem if you never ever run any software that you don't trust, never run any internet-facing services, and never let anyone you don't know use your machine [17:28] sacarlson: Yeah, I did. [17:28] hi, I have ubuntu and vista on remote controlled machine. the thing is that ubuntu starting by default and if I restart computer, I will lost remote control of it. How can I change grub preference from vista? [17:28] Hi folks. We're trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on an eeePC netbook. On the third attempt. When we do an update, it breaks. It's a problem with the libc version: "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6-dev: libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.12.1-0ubuntu8); however: Version of libc6 on system is 2.12.1-0ubuntu6." I think it's the 3rd party box we checked. We're trying again without it checked. Question: How do I add this stuff later? [17:29] thevishy: question how do you burn in a pendrive? an' can i format the pen drive after install is complete? [17:29] LDC1: you could mount the thing to /media/Downloads then link to whever you want also.. [17:29] sofaking88: I'm not sure but look in the config window in virtualbox before you start on the system you want to run and look at the network setings. I have mine set to bridge [17:29] how do i setup wifi on ubuntu 10.04 server edition [17:29] is 10.10 more efficient/less bloated than .04? [17:30] zico: you can erase it later. yes. use a tool like Unetbootin on windows to put the iso on a pendrive [17:30] !makeiso [17:30] I need help with my tv-card (Terratec Cinergy Hybrid XE). according to linuxtv.org it is supported - but it doesn't work. [17:30] !iso [17:30] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [17:30] sacarlson: I tried bridged as well, none of the options seem to work for me :( [17:30] sofaking88: I think it defaults to nat that might be ok for you I'm not sure [17:30] Dr_Willis: here's what i have done. added *UUID= /home/lenin/Downloads ext4 noatime 0 1* to fstab. then created *home* iinside which *lenin* inside which *Downloads* in the next partition. seems fine? [17:30] sofaking88: can you ping your local sever address from the virtualbox system? [17:30] zico,http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBkQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.ubuntu.com%2Fcommunity%2FInstallation%2FFromUSBStick&rct=j&q=how%20to%20burn%20ubuntu%20iso%20to%20usb&ei=rQ3DTMXlHY64vgOsnuW-CA&usg=AFQjCNGAqxFwbchu0B2n2HkNDDrHttAp1A&cad=rja [17:30] sorry [17:30] thevishy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:31] zico, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [17:31] Alright so I have a 32gb SSD that I've installed Ubuntu on. I have a 150gb drive that I want to install extra software and games to. How do I get Ubuntu to do that? I don't want it to just fill up the 32gb drive with everything. [17:31] * ab13 listening sabrina - she will be loved [17:31] LDC1: lookd about right. Move stuff out iof that Downloads directory befor you mount the filesystme to it. [17:31] if i use pulse audio volume control and change the output devices port to "Anolog Headphones" the bar below for volume is jumping up and down indicating their is loud sound but there is no sound coming through the headphones.. anyone know how i can fix this please :( [17:31] LDC1: rember that Case is imporntant also when setting up linux paths/dirs/names [17:31] isn't there anything i am supposed to do to delete the original *Downloads* folder Dr_Willis [17:31] momerath, 32gb is plenty for software as well [17:31] sacarlson: How do I ping my local server address? [17:32] thevisy/Dr_willis: checking out now.. [17:32] LDC1: MOVE the stuff thats in it.. somewhere else.. BEFOR you mount that filesystem [17:32] anyone ever try sudo rm /etc/sudoers??? that will really make ur day :) [17:32] I just did that [17:32] fackkkkkkkk [17:32] LDC1: filesystems mount 'TO' a directory. they appear as a direcory then. [17:32] brontoeee, You think so? I guess I'm used to Windows where everything that is installed takes up a massive amount of space. [17:32] test LDC1 [17:32] iF i INSTALL automake 1-2-3-4-5 and all different versions, Will I have any problems while compiling? [17:32] Killaklown, Do you have rsync installed on your computer ? [17:32] Quantum_Ion: yeah [17:33] Quantum_Ion: I think why? [17:33] sofaking88: the system you run the virtualbox run ifconfig to find the local address. and on your virtualbox try ping yourlocalhostaddress [17:33] Quantum_Ion: backup script? [17:33] Killaklown, you should make a directory in /opt called /opt/dump [17:33] just out of curiosity about how IRC clients work. Does name highlight if i type your name in the end Dr_Willis? [17:33] Becuse I was reading that 1.9 may not work as good as 1.5 and so on [17:33] LDC1: thats a feature of your (and mine) irc clients. [17:33] Quantum_Ion: I cant remember my root passwword either? [17:33] Quantum_Ion: lol [17:33] Quantum_Ion: omg [17:33] How do i give write and change permissions to the user which apache runs under for the directory /var/www/mediawiki/images/tmp ? [17:34] i am using pidgin. so does is matter where in the line your name is typed Dr_Willis? [17:34] Quantum_Ion: gonna have to boot live cd [17:34] Killaklown, and dump your backup linux fiilesystem into /opt/dump [17:34] LDC1: its a feature of the persons CLIENT if it does it or not. [17:34] Quantum_Ion: ok [17:34] momerath, yes, massive games usually come with some sort of custom installer, so that can be installed on your big drive [17:34] sofaking88: also on your virtualbox you should take a look at route and ifconfig and /etc/resolve.conf [17:34] sweet mullets [17:34] LDC1: pidgin sort of sucks for irc in many ways [17:34] ? [17:34] anyays.. thanks for your help tensorpudding and Dr_Willis. i will be back soon:) [17:35] rsync -r -t -v --progress /home /opt/dump/ [17:35] Killaklown: I thought the default ubuntu installs don't have a root password.. [17:35] afternoon all [17:35] sacarlson: Ok I got "sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0" if that helps [17:35] !root [17:35] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:35] bbl [17:35] Quantum_Ion: Shouldn't he make sure he has enough free space first? [17:35] Killaklown, try install grsync it might be easier apt-get install grsync [17:35] Diamondcite: they don't, but you can re-enable it if you really want to [17:36] sofaking88: ok that must be for ping? yes so the hardware simulation part is working [17:36] Diamondcite, We assume he has enough free space on his system [17:36] sofaking88: so maybe you just have the route or dns setup wrong [17:37] how do i setup wifi on ubuntu 10.04 server edition [17:37] Use rsync or grsync to copy your systems files [17:37] sofaking88: if it's setup as bridge what is the dhcp server? [17:37] I need help with my tv-card (Terratec Cinergy Hybrid XE). according to linuxtv.org it is supported - but it doesn't work. Any useful tv software would help as well. additionally I can't install xbmc. [17:37] sacarlson: It's set up as NAT right now [17:37] how do i setup wifi on ubuntu 10.04 server edition. I used to have it setup but I've since replaced my wifi adaptor and now it cannot find my netwrok [17:37] sofaking88: ok so what does route show? [17:38] sofaking88: when you ping google.com what does it say? [17:38] Quantum_Ion: keep in mind I deleted my sudoers file so no sudo but I'll just reboot in a minute from recovery and fix it [17:38] Quantum_Ion: thanks [17:38] alaing: What kind of wifi adapter is it? [17:38] I was just curios, if I install eg. Ver 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 of the same package will all of them have incompatibility issues? [17:38] like, crash? [17:38] alaing: Do you know if it's a supported adapter? If not sure could you please provide it's model number and manufacturer? [17:38] usb dlink DWA-140 Usb adaptor [17:39] sacarlson: Ping request could not find host google.com. Please check the name and try again. [17:39] * ab13 listening sabrina - out of reach [17:39] Diamondcite: its a dlink DWA-140 [17:39] alaing: Researching.. please standby. [17:39] sofaking88: ok then maybe dns is setup wrong. what is the file at /etc/resolve.conf show [17:40] when i do iwconfig i can see wlan1 where my other one was wlan0 [17:40] Diamondcite: many thanks [17:40] alaing: on your phone? [17:40] sofaking88: or maybe the route gateway is setup wrong. what did route show you? [17:40] gartral|d: nope its a usb adaptor and its connected to my pc [17:40] alaing: The wlan number should not matter much unless you are using text config.. do you have network manager? Does that still work? [17:41] Quantum_Ion: cant reboot now, I almost finished download this torretn [17:41] Quantum_Ion: bout to watch this movie breh [17:41] Quantum_Ion: you know how us pirates do things.... arrrrrrr [17:41] sacarlson: resolve.conf is a blank file.... :/ [17:41] Quantum_Ion: matey [17:41] my friend just had a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10. when updating he is getting the error *fix broken packages* what can he do? [17:41] Diamondcite: i dont have network manager but network connections? [17:42] sarcarlson: How do I check the route gateway? [17:42] sofaking88: well I don't think that would work. so what did route give you? maybe dhcp not giving you anything? [17:42] alaing: Close enough, does it list any network? [17:42] alaing: If on the command line does "nm-tool" list any networks? [17:42] Hello [17:42] Diamondcite: it only allows me to create === LyonJT_ is now known as LyonJT [17:42] Do we still use update-rc.d to disable a service at start on upstart ?

[17:43] Diamondcite: I'm trying to connect my pc to my router [17:43] let me try that command [17:43] sofaking88: I don't know what automatic is so what did it give you? [17:44] just booted ubuntu installer 10.10 off a usb flash drive (amd64 iso) and I am trying to install [17:44] sofaking88: I assume the system you are running has dhcp active [17:44] it hangs after I select forward on the 1st step (ensure its online, want to download updates and 3rd party)? [17:45] it just sits there with the thingy turning... any ideas? [17:45] Diamondcite: nm-tool shows me two networks both are not my network. My network is up and running as i can connect from two other machines running windows [17:45] sacarlson: the dhcp is automatic on the host system(ubuntu) [17:45] alaing: Did you set it to hidden (not broadcast SSID) ? [17:45] bout to watch a movie yall [17:45] Diamondcite: no its not hidden [17:45] was nice chatting [17:45] how do I just download the update packages and not install [17:45] sofaking88: your host is running fine.

[17:46] alaing: If you know the information perhaps you can try to connect to a hidden network anyway and enter the needed information for network name and security settings and see what happens. [17:46] can someone please help me with my sound problem I cant find a solution using google or anything :( [17:46] how do i do that?

[17:50] anygivenname: Maybe you might have better lick with route or iptables based blocking than denyhosts. [17:50] and my problem is when i connect my headphones sound continues to play through the speakers whilst playing through headphones at same time, how do i get it to stop playign noise through the speakers and only play noise through headphones ? [17:50] Protocol84: see above [17:50] ya [17:50] Diamondcite: its still spinning and trying to connect [17:50] barbara_, There is a bug in the sound driver for ubuntu linux https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/635391 [17:50] hi. is noscript addon for firefox effective?i want to use chrome but no noscript for it [17:51] is there a fix for it ?

[17:51] sofaking88: the gatway address? [17:51] alaing: For the sake of arguement I'll state that inrange is about 1-2 meters from the wireless router. [17:51] my problem is i get sound in both speakers and headphones rather than the one [17:51] Hey guys, I just installed 10.10 and now when I attempt to join a chatroom on stickam the splash page where one would enter the password and/or be directed to the chatroom itself is devoid of text and I cannot enter a password nor hti the enter button, is this a flash problem? screenshot: http://bayimg.com/bAaOpaada [17:51] the hd is already formatted [17:51] it has gentoo on it [17:51] i can get sound but in the wrong place.... [17:52] Diamondcite: I have remote access enabled & I want to ban the parties who trying to access.....I have set sshd to 3 trials only [17:52] barbara_: I used to have an option to 'duplicate' the sound output, but I can't remember if it was a bios option of a sound driver option. [17:52] sofaking88: the defaut? default router 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 should look like this [17:52] sacarlson: I type them in and command says it's not recognized :/ [17:52] oh :/ [17:52] but basically there is no fix for this ?

I never had this issues since my speakers can be turned off =/ [17:54] :( my speakers are built into monitor no on or off button [17:54] sofaking88: maybe you need to be super user? try sudo route [17:54] alaing: That means it's doing something.. but what... [17:54] the issue with sshd is that it locks connection....so if hacker fails it locks connection....so when i try to connect it does not allow me [17:54] alaing: Please note extension tables of strong metals can cause heavy inteference to an adapter. [17:54] barbara_: Just found this when i Googled. I don't know if it helps. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=675558 [17:54] barbara_, you have a packard bell laptop ?

[17:57] alaing: Cloud you try to pull the router closer or more it to the same room atleast? (Line of sight preffered) [17:57] Diamondcite: but how could it be picking up networks down my road? [17:57] yes, I have an icon for it in my panel. [17:57] This crap only happens to me on an ubuntu system: [17:57] gnome-screensaver: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :1.0.

[18:23] actually isent alsa installed by default? or did i miss somthing. [18:24] svchost1: i doubt if you gain much by going 64. Unless you give the VM a LOT of ram.

[18:25] no im using 10.04 [18:25] If you have more that 4GB of RAM memory then most likely you are on a 64 bit computer [18:25] barbara_: You may want to try a 10.10 live cd. and see if the problem is still in 10.10. [18:25] :/ [18:26] im begining to think linuyx is too much effort tbh [18:26] that would been the first thing i would of tried. :) [18:26] im not really up for downloading more stuff and trying [18:26] been working on this sound prob most the day [18:26] barbara_, it takes a while to learn Ubuntu Linux [18:26] barbara_: do what ever you want then..

[18:27] yes but sound that doesnt work properly :/ [18:27] barbara_: we're all trying to help you get it working :) [18:27] barbara_, hey that's free software it is not perfect [18:27] is not completely stable yet, right?

I have tried adding it in the startup application GUI, I have also tried adding it to the ~/.config/autostart and it will not run.... but the .sh works if I run it [18:27] but sorry if i seem a bit funny [18:28] but it can be frustrating when you have soemthing not working properly :( [18:28] barbara_, With open source operating systems things may or may not work [18:28] wow.. [18:28] No guarantee [18:28] barbara_: yes, but we're also spending our free time trying to assist you :) [18:28] i know, thanks :) [18:28] sorry if i seemed a little funny [18:28] i try /join #winehq and all i get is the lag thing in the left corner going mad!

[18:29] ill thinka botu downloading a 10.10 live cd and giving it a go [18:29] *about [18:29] What would one do if, after a kernel update, indicator applet is fuckign beyong belief? [18:29] frankbro, correct your language, then it might fix itself [18:30] k-rad: i recall seeing web sites that have 'color sets' for web design. go to one of them. then your 'pen' can select the colors you like. [18:30] before i go though one last question if you dont mind, whats a good instant messaging client for linux which has webcam support when talking to people using MSN ? [18:30] Dr_Willis, thank you Dr_Willis. [18:30] frankbro, Elaborate on this 'indicator applet is fuckign beyong belief? [18:30] hello [18:31] Well, the connection indicator is seperated from the other part of the indicator applet and can't be moved [18:32] Most of the icons that would be grouped under the indicator applet are seperated and can't be individualy moved [18:32] frankbro, glitchs happen try rebooting to clear up the mess ??? [18:32] nor will they move if I move the whole indicator applet [18:32] like the mail and volume icons? [18:32] Hmm. interesting [18:32] perhaps a reset of the panel. [18:33] Yea, trash and workspace switcher moved too, but I fixed them [18:33] hi folks, last night I unstalled 2 games (Nemiux and Beneath a Steel Sky). On restat Iall my window borders had disappeared. Solved by re-installing package ubuntu-desktop - no probs. On starting pooter this a.m. the borders had all gone again... solved in the same way and no problem since. I am, however, very curious as to what happened. Any ideas...? [18:33] GTK/Gnome glitchs [18:33] how does on get the result of last executed command? [18:33] *restart [18:33] suprengr: restart compiz.. or install the fusion-icon tool and it can handle compiz crashing. [18:33] where does ubuntu keep its package files? [18:33] suprengr: next time it does it try alt-f2 and 'compiz --replace' [18:34] Dr_Willis: so a compiz problem then??? [18:34] gnubu: there is a Cache of the .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [18:34] suprengr: sounds like compiz crashign to me. [18:34] Squarism, type history [18:34] Dr_Willis: cheers & thanks a lot. [18:35] Squarism, assuming you are using bash ??? then typing history will bring up previous typed commands in the terminal === mo_bledhoz_ is now known as mo_bledhoz [18:35] hey. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LL, can I know if there is a supported Bittorrent client? [18:35] I'm running into a problem on Apt. Any time I try to install a package it reports "Segmentation faulty tree 0%" [18:36] Hmm. seems some of my nofify area icons are gone also. :0 volume and mail icon. :) [18:36] Dr_Willis, thank you again :) [18:36] jerk: theres dozens of Bittorrent clients you can use. Transmission is the default [18:36] Dr_Willis: all I got under /var/cache/apt/archives is lock and /partial and partial is empty [18:36] jerk: its rather 'basic' but it works [18:36] Anyone here with experience with windows 7/ubuntu shares? [18:36] suprengr, when i had the windows border problem it was cause by the reflexion in compiz settings.. might be the same with you.. === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [18:36] Squarism, This is a good bash cheat sheet www.catonmat.net/download/bash-history-cheat-sheet.pdf [18:36] gnubu: i got about 2gb of stuff in mine. [18:36] I have scanned a 5 page document which I need to email out as a .pdf .. but I hit save and it just sits and doesn't save.. doesn't crash, just doesn't save.. this was scanned using gscan2pdf.. the scanning and post scan processing is great.. just wont save to .pdf [18:36] Question: Installed Ubuntu 10.10, but didn't check the box to get the 3rd party stuff. Is there a way to get all that goodness, after the install? [18:37] !anyone | Metalan [18:37] Metalan: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:37] trojan_spike: cheers... investigating now [18:37] Question: I'm running into a problem on Apt. Any time I try to install a package it reports "Segmentation faulty tree 0%" How do I fix this? [18:37] wad: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will get most of them. [18:37] Dr_Willis, thanks! [18:37] thanks, Dr_Willis. will try [18:37] wad: that little check box is SO handy. :) [18:37] wad: what about 'apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' ? [18:37] Dr_Willis: well this is a new install, must be why ;) [18:37] is anyone aware if printing to modem fax can be done over a major voip provider ? [18:37] Dr_Willis: beat me to it [18:37] gnubu: that makes sence. [18:37] bonez2046, open the documents in OpenOffice and covert the documents to PDF files in OpenOffice [18:38] k. I'm having an issue trying to connect to my Win 7 share from Ubuntu. It keeps prompting me for my password but I believe I didn't set a password for samba shares [18:38] Quantum_Ion: ok, I will do that.....just frustrating that scan2pdf doesn't [18:38] My homegroup password doesn't work either [18:38] Quantum_Ion: ok, I will do that.....just frustrating that scan2pdf doesn't 'work as advertised' [18:38] (Also, thanks Krishnandu) [18:38] bonez2046, dude it is free software it is a gamble no guarantee it will work [18:38] Quantum_Ion: true.. thanks [18:38] It would be handy if that checkbox included this information: "To perform this step later, run 'apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'" [18:38] Metalan: you mean from Windows --> to Linux (shares) or Linux (using nautilus) to --> windows shares? [18:38] Linux -> Windows share [18:38] ok...i created this .htaccess file: http://pastebin.com/b8kdpVbj and put it in the directory i want to protect. I added each of the 3 usernames to the password file using the htpasswd program. But when i try to browse to the folder it is still open. It does not require any password. How do i change that? how do i then enable password protection on the folder? [18:38] Metalan, Well, if you have shared a folder/drive it should be accessible without any password [18:39] That's the thing [18:39] hey guys. what is the safe way to update BIOS through 10.10 [18:39] I can see the Windows 7 on the network page on nautilus [18:39] Metalan, Ohh you need to configure it in share mode. [18:39] Metalan: i often have to enter a share name manually. smb://servername/sharename or use the ip. instead of servername. [18:39] LDC, preferrable not through linux itself, though it has been done before [18:39] so what should i do? k-rad [18:40] is there a way to unify all the copypaste buffers together? I'm tired of selecting something in opera, pressing ^c and then realizing that shift-insert doesn't paste the same thing when I'm in vim. Java programs have their own copypaste buffer, X has its own, gnome/kde have their own - it's bloody annoying [18:40] Metalan: I agree with Krishnandu - sounds like you need to set up windows share with some different settings. I tedn to just make a Public share. :) [18:40] Dr_Willis: Tried the manual share name thing, same results. I believe they're already public, how can I check? [18:40] okay. I have a 500 GB HD, which is brand new. I installed Ubuntu from USB, and now on "Computer" I find only "File System", which is marked 430 GB. is this normal? can I still make partitions? [18:40] my screen got wiped. see if there is a dos method and use a bootable freedos cd with the required files. are transfer freedos to a flash drive. very often the modern motherboard has flashing as a bios function itself [18:41] Metalan, smb.conf the share mode should be public / share [18:41] Metalan: under windows.. they got that weird shareing 'properties/permissions' thing. :) ive rarely used it. [18:41] hi [18:41] Quantum_Ion: ok, I have the 5 pages saved as .tiff file.. so openoffice will only open the first page, not all 5 pages.. [18:41] and has anyone managed to get python-opencv to actually work? It's broken out of the box here (not on the path, then if you add it to the python path it fails loading cv_) [18:41] Metalan, Well....did you configured smb.conf??? [18:41] Dr_WIllis: It's set to "Everyone" allow everything [18:41] jerk: theres a swap partition, and so on see what 'sudo fdisk -l' says about the aprtition layout. [18:41] Kishnandu: Is that on Linux? What do I need to do? [18:42] eth0 won't show up sometimes until i reboot, what could be the issue? [18:42] Metalan: be sure the linux workgroup is the same as the windows workgroup also. (thats in /etc/samba/smb.conf) [18:42] doing a fresh install of 10.10 in the window "Allocate drive space" it gives two choices: New Partition Table and Revert. What's the diff? [18:42] Metalan, Thats the problem, You haven't yet configured your sharing configuration file. Config it. Use man smb.conf to understand it better [18:42] Quantum_Ion: will saving to .ps file work? [18:42] czz, hardware [18:43] trojan_spike, its been going on go a long time... [18:43] -.- okay this is aggrivating, how can I get a simple .sh file to run on startup? it works when I run it, but when I tell the system to run it on startup, it never works!! [18:43] gnubu: you mean you are installing Just linux to a totally 'new' hard drive? wanting to erase it all? [18:43] trying to get apache setup to run a server, how does it load? [18:43] since 9.04 [18:43] Dr_Willis: okay, will do [18:43] Dr_Willis: yep [18:43] hi [18:43] gnubu: a NEW hard drive needs a partition table made on it befor you can make partitions. === Pinna is now known as MarxBot [18:43] I think theres 2 options to that. DOS and some other one.. :) [18:43] so its a hardware issue,, PC doesn't pick it up first time.. faulty/lose wire possible. [18:44] Metalan, Lemme suggest you a nice way out. Understanding smb.conf is not hard but you need time to read the manual to get it's syntax. Better install system-config-samba and use it configure your smb.conf. Thats GUI :) === MarxBot is now known as Pinako [18:44] Dr_Willis: oh wait, it's got another distro on it now. But I do need to wipe it. [18:44] !info samba-doc [18:44] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional.

Then tell the installer what partitions to moutn where. [18:44] what is the ideal planning software on ubuntu? [18:45] Dr_Willis: I'm in the install window. How do I start gparted. [18:45] any idea why my my wifi usb gets disconnected when i plug my usb webcam ?? [18:45] http://goput.it/x9a.png - could anyone tell me how to fix the menu in skype? or is it some kind of bug with 10.10? [18:45] gnubu: I do it befor i even start the installer. [18:45] is there any real reason to use more than 512 ram on a virtualmachine im just using for porn surfing? [18:45] gnubu: it may not be instaleld by default on the live cd's ive not noticed. 'sudo apt-get install gparted' then run it. [18:45] gnubu: then I start the installer after i got the disk setup. [18:46] ethernet controller are one of the first things loaded, so strange it doesn't load.. Check forum with your laptop type to see if there is anything there.. [18:46] Dr_Willis: no cli here except in a terminal [18:46] i do have 8gb ram. wouldnt hurt to dedicate a gig.. [18:46] gnubu: err... where ELSE are you going to do a cli? [18:46] Hrimfaxi, Works fine on my side [18:46] Dr_Willis: it's sure saying a lot, I tell ya.....shall I copy-paste all of it here? [18:46] bonez2046, sudo apt-get install gscan2pdf [18:47] jerk: thats what pastebin is for.

[18:47] Quantum_Ion: that's the program I have running now.. the one that wont save as .pdf formatted file for output [18:47] I meant console. gparted "cannot open display" [18:47] bonez2046, okay I see [18:47] Krishandu: Just installed system-config-samba. Now what? [18:47] any1 here using stardict ? [18:48] gnubu: you are on an alterantive isntaller cd? or what exactly? the normal desktop cd lets you get to a termianl on its desktop [18:48] why is 32bit ubuntu desktop "recommended" ? [18:48] any idea why my wifi usb gets disconnected each time i plug my webcam? [18:48] Metalan, system-config-samba and the GUI will be up [18:48] -.- okay this is aggrivating, how can I get a simple .sh file to run on startup? it works when I run it, but when I tell the system to run it on startup, it never works!! [18:48] bonez2046, I am installing it on my system right now to check it out [18:48] ubuntu_noobie: because it will work on 32 or 64bit machines.. if a user has NO idea what 64 even is.. 32bit will work.. [18:48] Krishandu: Yeah, I ran it. What setting do I need to look for? [18:48] Quantum_Ion: thanks.. [18:48] ubuntu_noobie: if you are using 64bit machine. you may as well go 64bit. [18:48] 64 bit can have compatability issues so new users should go 32 bit [18:48] bonez2046, Have you used Simple Scan too ? [18:48] Dr_Willis: ubuntu netbook edition "maverick meerkat"? Using a usb key to boot.

[18:49] gnubu: theres some terminal icon i imagine somewhere in the desktop menus .. [18:49] Disk identifier: 0x000e7f10 [18:49] Metalan, Don't look for anything. You haven't configured anything. So configure it. Like which folder you want to share, the windows workgroup name..?? Do you want to share it publicly or privately or as a guest a/c. Everything [18:49] jerk: there was a reason i mentioned 'pastebin' :) [18:49] Krishandu: I don't want to share a Linux folder. I want to access a Windows folder from Linux. Do I configure it there? [18:49] damn [18:49] Dr_Willis, His screen name should have given you a hint to what he was about to do [18:50] jerk: install the pastebinit command and do a 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' is the easy way [18:50] Metalan, lol...no....then why did you said Dr_Willis that you want sharing for Linux --> Windows ?? [18:51] Krishandu: Seems to be a two-way misunderstanding. :) What do I need to access my windows share then? [18:51] Dr_Willis: will try to do that :p ....meanwhile did you get what i pasted? [18:51] Metalan, Uninstall system-config-samba and go to windows and share the windows folder/drive/whatever you want. Now come back to linux and see whether you can access the files or not [18:51] jerk: nope.. [18:51] bonez2046, What are you trying to scan ? [18:51] jerk: theres nice gui tools that show how your hard drives are partitioned also [18:51] Quantum_Ion: it's just a 5 page document.. it's already scanned, and I deskewed it.. got it all cleaned up in gscan2pdf. [18:52] jerk: system -> admin -> disk utility (i think) [18:52] Quantum_Ion: the issue is, I need to save it as a pdf.. [18:52] Dr_Willis: okay.... [18:52] Krishandu: Already did that. The problem is that Nautilus prompts me for my username/password. I tried with homegroup password and no password. Nothing [18:52] bonez2046, what did you write the document in ? [18:52] Quantum_Ion: and yet it wont save as pdf.. will save as every other format in gscan2pdf but not to pdf [18:53] Quantum_Ion: the document was a printed document sent to me in the mail, which I then scanned.. .. [18:53] Metalan: i thought it wanted my windows users password.. Im not using homegroup stuff on windows7 at all. [18:53] Dr_Willis: okay. apparently my HD is a single disk [18:53] Metalan, Ya as far I think you didn't shared it publicly [18:53] jerk: a single partition? the default install setup makes at least a / and a Swap normally [18:53] Metalan, ya check what Dr_Willis suggested [18:53] Dr_Willis: Me neither. I have no password on the Windows server. Krishnandu: Well, the permissions are set to "Everything" for "Everyone" on Windows [18:54] Quantum_Ion: any ideas? [18:54] Metalan: that may be the issue.. Ive had shares on windows NOT work properly unless i set up a user with a password. [18:54] Metalan, Well, in my side it works fine with just share this folder [18:55] Metalan: even when tryign to do everythign to everyone.. - i still had to give the user (my wife) a password , for them to actually work. [18:56] Metalan, Overall check your Windows, it's an windows issue, everything is fine from Ubuntu side [18:56] bonez2046, you might want to try Simple Scan [18:57] Does ubuntu deflect viruses even after opening the file? [18:57] bonez2046, I just tried scanning a document in gscan2pdf it sucked [18:57] Agent001, What..?? [18:57] Agent001, No virus in Ubuntu. Don't worry :) [18:57] GUYS IM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY GRAPHICS HERE... I HAVE SIS 671 :( AND WHEN I SWITCH TO TERMINAL MODE I GET THE BLANK SCREEN... I CAN GET RID OF IT BOOTING WITH NOMODESET OPTION BUT IF I LOGOUT GNOME I GET THE BLANK SCREEN AGAIN... DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW CAN I UNNINSTALL THE KERNEL-MODE-SETTING FROM MY SYSTEM? THANKS IN ADVANCE [18:57] netrat: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. [18:57] If by tampering a file contained a virus, would ubuntu deflect the virus from damaging the system?

[18:58] songer: ¿¿ [18:58] Krishanndu, Dr_Willis: I added a Windows password and I used it to login to my share in Nautilus. Nothing. :( [18:58] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:robert-ancell/simple-scan [18:58] am i back? [18:58] Agent001, windows viruses will not afect linux [18:58] wnat do you want? , xangua [18:59] Metalan: ive found each release of windows gets weirder and harder to get going with shares.. its hard to grouble shoot. :( [18:59] Agent001, As I said there is no virus in Ubuntu so it will read the file as normal file. So no harm [18:59] wow.. linux = 1337 [18:59] anyone know where i can get a clean version of windows 95? lol [18:59] Metalan: theres the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' commands that may give some info on what shares are seen. [18:59] Dr_Willis: so, how do I create partitions now> [18:59] to get a games mouse to work the wine website says i have to "Use MouseWarpOverride->force in the registry to get it working." how do i do this? [18:59] please anybody just give me a tip of how to remove kernel-mode-setting from my ubuntu 10.04 :( [18:59] What if you use wine [18:59] Metalan, Well...it works fine for me with Win XP. Dunno about Win Vista or Win 7 [18:59] Can Windows viruses run under wine? [18:59] jerk: i use gparted to make my partitions normally. or good old 'fdisk' and mkfs as needed. [18:59] is it inside some package? [18:59] no--name: some can. :) some malware can.. some just crash [18:59] ke onda === miguel is now known as Guest54714 [19:00] Dr_Willis: The network page on Nautilus finds the Windows server without issue [19:00] no--name, what do you mean by virus?? If it's an .exe file yes it can [19:00] All right, however... [19:00] Dr_Willis: I'm scared of command line... [19:00] I have Ubuntu dual booting on that machine [19:00] I'll share those folders from there temporarily [19:00] I've a problem with Internet and Ndisgtk :S [19:00] hi [19:00] jerk: get over it? [19:00] whenever i opened any drive it'll automatically showing the icon in desktop ??? how will i disable that one !! (ubuntu 10.10 x64) [19:00] no--name, But lemme also say you, it won't harm ubuntu, coz ubuntu doesn't recognize .exe, so it's another normal file for ubuntu as like .txt files [19:00] jerk: or use gparted i guess... [19:01] What's the best protocol to use to share folders between two Ubuntu machines? [19:01] Krishnandu: but if it runs under wine? [19:01] Dr_Willis: okay....how do I use this? [19:01] bonez2046, I just ried Simple Scan it works much better than gsane2pdf [19:01] Metalan, lol.... [19:01] Metalan: depends on how much data. and how often you are transfering stuff. [19:01] wine only runs .exe riles? [19:01] Metalan, You set up shares on windows and then booted to Ubuntu and access the shares??? [19:01] jerk: how can you use gparted? make a new partition, slide it to the size you want.. set its type.. be sure to hit apply when all done. [19:01] no--name: wine handless anything you want [19:02] !gparted [19:02] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [19:02] Dr_Willis: Lots. Around 100GB today. I'd need to move about 2GB a week [19:02] Pirolocito: what about what you don't want :P [19:02] no--name: even files that you want to open with wine software [19:02] Krishnandu: Of course :P [19:02] no--name, So what..?? Wine handles it differently. It's a virtual world. No contact with Ubuntu [19:02] Metalan: scp is an easy way to do it.. but it can be slower.. but more flexiable in many ways [19:02] ok [19:02] Metalan, God...then how'll it work.... [19:02] Metalan: i think NFS is fastest.. but harder to setup. [19:02] Metalan, i'd use ssh or good old ftp [19:02] Krishnandu: So the virus would only see the wine folder as teh hard drive? [19:02] Metalan, Coz you already turned of the shares... [19:02] No... what? [19:02] no--name: thats how wine works.. [19:02] Ahhhh [19:02] NFS is a pita [19:03] No, no [19:03] right [19:03] hey guys, does any1 know a laptop with a great nvidia card thats great with ubuntu,wine and is power full? [19:03] Of course not, krishnandu [19:03] no--name, Yes...wine's virtual folder....(or should I say virtual C drive) [19:03] yea [19:03] guys how can i remove this bloody kernel-mode-setting capability from my ubuntu installation? [19:03] I booted into Ubuntu on the second machine [19:03] Not the one with dual-boot. Come on, I'm not that dumb :) [19:03] Metalan, Ohh then it's ok.. :) [19:03] So if wine ran viruses it would not effect ubuntu? [19:03] sajish: no need to msg me.. and theres gnome settings to 'hide/show' mounted shares.. Ubuntu-Tweak tool has a gui to set it.. not sure how to set it via the gconf editor/commands. [19:03] hey guys, does any1 know a laptop with a great nvidia card thats great with ubuntu,wine and is power full? [19:03] Is there a way to add entries to the indicator applet, like the network indicator and emesene [19:03] ubuntunoobz: find a high end laptop with a good nvidia card. :) thats what i did. [19:04] ubuntunoobz: it also cost me close to $1000 [19:04] no--name: wine virus that erase all your info affect ubuntu [19:04] oh ok i only got a bugget of like 300$ [19:04] Dr_Willis: many thanks, buddy. will try this. also i'll reappear here :p [19:04] but just your user, that is for sure [19:04] hi [19:04] no--name, 1. Coz wine's drives are virtual, doesn't exist in real. 2. Ubuntu don't execute .exe files. It's like another .txt file to Ubuntu. [19:04] ubuntunoobz: look for a low end nvidia system I guess... [19:04] Dr_Willis : got it [19:04] danks [19:04] ubuntunoobz, no way for that money [19:04] dhx [19:04] this laptop came with intel 945gm or a nvidia ... [19:04] does anyone know if lshw -c memory is supposed to show DDR3 RAM as DDR2 RAM? my laptop has a stick of DDR3, but it shows it's SODIMM DDR2. [19:04] ubuntunoobz: but really for a bit more $$ you can get a LOT nicer system. I splurged this time.. beucase i got sick of the $300 range laptops [19:05] Krishnandu: he is talking about wine, no virtual machines [19:05] no--name: wine uses linux files as usual [19:05] Pirolocito, I know...but how can I make him understand that wine's C:/ drive is another thing... [19:05] well i got a dell d620 core due 1.8ghz with a 256 945gm chipset with 80 hd and 1gb ram [19:05] hii [19:05] for 249$ [19:05] Oh well. [19:05] Krishnandu: drive c:/ on wine is just a shortcut to files on ubuntu [19:06] I don't even use wine :) [19:06] ubuntunoobz: :) i got 2. 500GB hd's yes. this laptop is a Back-breaker.. heh [19:06] how do I "Use MouseWarpOverride->force in the registry to get it working." in wine?? [19:06] no--name: got it? [19:06] lol [19:06] hi everyone [19:06] not bad for 249$ right? [19:06] cristian_: hi [19:06] Pirolocito, Well...but that doesn't affect Ubuntu(I mean as in his terms with virus) [19:06] Pirolocito: yes [19:06] i see thesegoing for 300$ lol [19:06] ubuntunoobz: it has enough powar to run Crysis at high settings. :) [19:06] !ot | ubuntunoobz [19:06] im a new ubuntu user [19:06] ubuntunoobz: #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! [19:06] Krishnandu: it affects only the user home [19:06] your laptop or mine? [19:07] no--name, Just remember one thing, Do whatever you want, Ubuntu is not going to affected with viruses [19:07] ubuntunoobz: it pays to research whats out there. and fits your budget. [19:07] i got u botted >.< [19:07] hey, i don't know if anyone has experienced this b4, and i cant find answers elsewhere, but it seems whenever i highlight a URL in Firefox, be it in a web page or even highlight the url in the url bar, an annoying menu shows asking if I want to open the url in firefox, opera, mozilla or if i want to send the url. it uses the icons that came with my cairo-dock theme i'm using, but it only seems to happen in firefox and i can't find th [19:07] Pirolocito, Well...tats for Wine...not the Ubuntu.... [19:07] no--name: wine is so similar to windows that it can run windows virus too [19:08] how do I "Use MouseWarpOverride->force in the registry to get it working." in wine?? [19:08] a rogue app in Wine could delete you users files , but not harm the whold system. (in theory) :) [19:08] Altainia: do you have add-ons installed for this? [19:08] Pirolocito, Ya it can...I said that...but it'll never affect Ubuntu... [19:08] is the 945gm better then the ati mobility 9000? for ubuntu? [19:08] Krishnandu: ok, but for instance desktop on wine is from default your desktop on ubuntu /home/username/desktop [19:08] oh yeah...another question....Ubuntu soft center is great, but can it also provide the size of the ware i am about to download and install? [19:08] magicianlord: no, not that i know of. No addons have changed that i'm aware of with the new ubuntu upgrade. [19:08] I am looking for a Netbook that plays games like Call of Duty the best one I found so far is a Dell MX-11 at $800.00 US [19:08] magicianlord: this problem didn't exist then. [19:09] in ubunt 10.04 [19:09] Pirolocito, Ya....that's what Dr_Willis said.... :) It's not going to harmfull for the SYSTEM :) [19:09] does sleep 0.01s work in bash/sh [19:09] Krishnandu: if your virus wipe desktop on windows it will wipe your files... [19:09] Quantum_Ion - anything with ion video card should work fine [19:09] can i run fear with this laptop in wine on ubuntu 10.10? [19:09] or does it have to be sleep 1 [19:09] system will stay just the same.... [19:09] Pirolocito, Sorry...I was talking about the system. As he said Ubuntu. [19:09] Hrimfaxi, Not sure whether to get that Dell MX-11 netbook or an Android phone ? [19:10] Krishnandu: :) [19:10] Pirolocito, :) [19:10] ubuntunoobz: does it run fear well on windows? wine can be slower.. but it depends on the game [19:10] idk i got winxp on a dual boot and the games that load in wine just crashes on windows [19:10] * Krishnandu doesn't uses wine. It makes him thinking of running pirated apps. :P [19:11] Quantum_Ion - well, it really depends on what you use it for..if you're mainly in to social networking and stuff, the android phone would be better imo [19:11] Krishnandu: heheheh, i run because i have to..... [19:11] Pirolocito, :) [19:11] I.. want my games.. which don't have a linux port..

[19:15] in wine --> c:/users/willis IS --> /home/willis [19:15] ciao [19:15] Thats configurable of course. [19:16] hello [19:16] Is there any repo which can add all very stable release packages to updates for Ubuntu 10.04.1 ? (for example vlc 1.1+ will never add to Ubuntu 10.04.1 but i want to see VLC 1.1.4 or vlc 1.1.x after 6-7 months if it is stable enough . This is just an example but i want to do this for all packages for my system.) Is that possible ? Thanks! [19:17] Is there any way to set a package to never be removed once its installed. For example when I strip the system down to a base install with "sudo aptitude purge ~i ~pimportant+ ~pstandard+ ~prequired+"? I've tried aptitude hold on the packages and it didn't work. Would keep work or does that not get remembered permanently? Or is there another way? [19:17] WINE My Documents: /home/dcite/drive_c/windows/profiles/USERNAME has symlinks inside it which points back to /home/USERNAME if you delete those it can no longer see your /home [19:17] servert_m: time to explore the world of PPA's :) [19:17] So I'm now sharing a folder from an Ubuntu box [19:17] How do I get the second Ubuntu box to see it? [19:17] on nautilus do smb://IP_MACHINE/SHARE [19:17] Metalan: gnomes connect to server qwizard.. or enter a path like smb://linuxboxname/sharename [19:17] I've problems to connect my PC to internet. Can anybody help me? :S [19:18] Metalan, You need samba server [19:18] Ignatius881: How are you online right now?

[19:19] how do I "Use MouseWarpOverride->force in the registry to get it working." in wine?? [19:19] Ignatius881: So how does this not work in linux, does it not see your wifi network? [19:19] well, I've installed Ndisgtk [19:20] I use it with the .inf archive of my USB [19:20] Err I see.. may I know your wireless adapter please? [19:20] but... nothing [19:20] Dr_Willis: okay, GParted is trying to scare me now. it says it will delete ALL DATA if I try to make a new partition table in it. [19:20] Metalan, "Failed to mount Windows share" can mean problem with firewall....do you have samba added to firewall..??

Let Dr_Willis help you. As he was assisting you :) [19:21] servert_m: many ubuntu news/blog sites have their own ppa collections also.. [19:21] jerk: i did search, it said "Use MouseWarpOverride->force in the registry to get it working." but i don't kknow how to do that [19:21] I dont use firewalls in windows.. :) or linux.

[19:22] on one machine i have a cronjob running fine, and on another it doesnt seem to be working properly, [19:22] both machines are identical [19:22] what might be the problem ? [19:22] Dr_Willis, Well..he said "Failed to mount windows shares" so I thought it might be a problem with firewall. But as I dunno what you suggested him I didn't answer [19:22] is there a way to disable one key in terminal, not just in X, but under other terminals? ubuntu 10.04 [19:22] Dr_Willis: actually...I said I wanted to create new partitions. my HD is naked as a newborn. nothing but Ubuntu's installation in it [19:22] Dr_Willis: ok i will read them. thank you! [19:23] Is there any way to set a package to always remain on the system even if its told to remove it if a certain flag is set or whatever?

[19:24] Metalan, For sharing Ubuntu --> Ubuntu you need samba server on the Ubuntu PC from which you want to share [19:24] ok [19:25] hi. should i run lubuntu on an old acer aspire 1.5ghz celeron 512mb rm or will ubuntu be ok on that? [19:25] \disconnect [19:25] Krishandu: I set it up using the Sharing tab on the folder properties. It downloaded and installed something, I'm almost certain it was samba [19:25] does anyone know how to edit the regestry in wine???? [19:25] Metalan, Ubuntu --> Ubuntu?? [19:25] Krishandu: Yep [19:26] Sean93: wine regedit [19:26] Is anyone here running Ubuntu or Debian? [19:26] Metalan, what does /etc/init.d/smb status returns??

[19:26] Krishandu: On the server or the client? [19:26] Metalan, Server [19:26] hi, i want to install vim-ruby on 10.04 LTS, but its only a virtual package. do I have to isntall vim-gnome on my server so i have ruby support? [19:27] Sean93: I have never heard of it.. I don't know what that does. [19:27] Metalan, on one or both machines do : apt-get install ssh, then on client open nautilus and 'connect to server', enter user, pass and you are there [19:27] magicianlord, i am using ubuntu 10.04 lts now [19:27] Diamondcite: how would i use it though? do i just type it in? [19:27] Sean93: wine regedit starts a NORMAL regedit just like in windows. [19:28] Metalan, and server name or ip of course [19:28] Sean93: But I don't know if it'll have any effect on wine since I never heard of that function. [19:28] Sean93: What is that feature for? [19:28] Krishnandu: "File or directory does not exist" [19:28] Metalan, Then you didn't installed samba server [19:29] to fix the mouse in Postal 2 [19:29] Metalan, Without the samba server you can't share that PC's folder with other PC's [19:29] Sean93: What happens mouse leaves window and stops working? [19:29] Krishnandu, what are you talking about? ubuntu to ubuntu? [19:29] Metalan, u use ftp server on any linux dist. [19:29] Krishandu: Yeah. Thanks for all the help so far. I think I'm going to physically plug in the hard drive to the second machine and transfer the files this way, no worries. [19:29] brontoeee, Yup...that he said [19:30] no need the samba for file sharing [19:30] Metalan, Wait [19:30] All right [19:30] exactly, samba is mess, the easy way is ssh [19:30] it only works in part of the screen unless i play in windowed mode but then i cant turn proerly [19:30] Metalan, If you have only two PC's and want to exchange data within them use SSH as brontoeee and Dr_Willis suggested [19:30] k [19:31] So [19:31] Metalan, Think of samba only if you want to LAN them. [19:31] sudo apt-get install ssh on both machines [19:31] Metalan, sudo apt-get install ssh on both the PC's. [19:31] hey guys you must to know, samba is not the only option for file shering [19:31] Metalan, And for Windows --> Ubuntu download and install putty for Windows [19:31] Diamondcite: it only works in part of the screen unless i play in windowed mode but then i cant turn proerly [19:31] Sean93: Have you considered using winecfg to set "Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse leaving their window" [19:32] u can ftp server in any linuz dist.

See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [19:32] ciao [19:32] !vsftpd [19:32] FTP: ssh or scp is a more secure way of transfering files between systems and is usally less effort [19:32] mdogancay, FTP server are not secure [19:32] you can even mount a ssh share as a hard drive in windows with the right software... [19:32] Krishandu: Thanks. Once I install that on both machines I can just connect using nautilus on the client machine, right? [19:33] Metalan, No...if you want nautilus you need to forward X. Otherwise use ssh from terminal and you'll end up with CLI. [19:33] ssh is not a secure way! [19:33] mdogancay, lol :P [19:34] most hackers using ssh for accesing the linux systems [19:34] Diamondcite: that doesnt help. also, i'm not getting any sound [19:34] i know so much malware software for ssh hacking [19:34] mdogancay: hack me, please! [19:34] mdogancay, Learn about SSH please....it's most secure mode of file transfer till now. [19:34] Metalan: install openssh-server and set up a SFTP server, then connect with nautilus... [19:34] anyone know why dillo is not in the repos? [19:34] Krishandu: How do I figure out the server IP? [19:35] wait a moment [19:35] i will give some log about it [19:35] Metalan, You don't know your PC's IP?? Well use hostname then [19:35] hi [19:36] Metalan, on server type ifconfig, it should give you the ip as well [19:36] mdogancay: all you need to do is to change the port for ssh and all attacks stop, atleast it did so for me [19:36] Krishnandu: I'm connected to the server on the CLI. How do I transfer files now?

[19:36] this log line from my ufw log [19:37] Metalan, on one or both machines do : apt-get install ssh, then on client open nautilus and 'connect to server', enter user, pass and you are there [19:37] and ip address is a chines IP! [19:37] Diverdude: assign an ip to the server in the router [19:37] Krishnandu: NVM, I connected using Nautilus. Awesomeness. thanks :) [19:37] Metalan, scp or better follow brontoeee if you want GUI [19:37] this ch guys doing so much attach to all world [19:38] X-Sleepy-X, using mac address? [19:38] Wow, so slow. It's going at around 500kb/s :/ [19:38] Diverdude: yes [19:38] mdogancay: I have on average 5 visits per day on ssh, 10 on apache, no problem [19:38] mdogancay, Well...they are just trying to connect. But SSH can't be hacked. As it can't be exloited. [19:38] Diverdude: probably under the LAN section on the router... [19:38] you know, i told you [19:38] 51 hours left :l [19:39] and that's like half of it [19:39] I think physically connecting the hard drive is the best choice [19:39] hi, ive just installed ubuntu 10.10 but i cant find the compiz? [19:39] Metalan, It shouldn't take this much time...do you use Cat 5e cable?? [19:39] Krishandu: Client is connected wirelessly [19:39] lmao [19:39] mdogancay: For that issue.. move ssh to another port number and that gets rid of almost all automated bots ^_^ [19:40] i already did [19:40] thanx [19:40] isaias, Right click on desktop > change desktop background > visual effect [19:40] X-Sleepy-X, it has to be assigned to mac address then...otherwise it does not make any sense [19:40] mdogancay: And fail2ban gets rid of the rest :) [19:40] Metalan, Ohh.... [19:40] * Krishnandu wishes good night to everyone :) [19:41] hi, i have a corporate proxy which doesnt allow ssh outside the network, how can i access irssi which is running on another server [19:41] thanx for your info [19:41] good night [19:41] Diverdude: yes, when you're in the interface for your router you will most likely get the option to assign an already connected computer/network card to a certain internal ip by mac which also most likely will be provided.. [19:42] rizkhan, setup ssh on port 21 if you are not using ftp [19:42] Diverdude: either that or make the server always ask for a certain ip, but if that ip is already taken it won't work. [19:42] brontoeee: n how do I do that .. sorry too naive :P [19:43] brontoeee: /etc/ssh/sshd_config mofidication ? [19:43] rizkhan, on server you need to change ssh settings somewhere to listen to port 21 and restart ssh would be abtract :) [19:44] hey, do you know what program you can use to insert a watermark in a pdf file? [19:44] rizkhan, netcat is good start to check proxy [19:44] *abstract [19:45] rizkhan: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [19:46] brontoeee: i dont have the access to this address .. as m using a free account on shellmix [19:48] how do I make changes to visudo stick?

[19:52] Thanks! [19:53] did ubuntu modify "Knotes" ? [19:53] the original knotes, if one click on the knotes on the notification bar, it would list notes in order of time [19:54] now if you click on the icon, it popups a menu [19:55] pie_time: yes, even with gzip [19:56] kai: you can rightclick your file and mark it as executable.

[19:57] amerinese: depends on how it's done, otherwise there shouldn't be [19:57] on how it's done, i would just switch the symlink [19:57] gnea: does that make sense? [19:58] right now it points at /usr/bin/python2.6 [19:58] amerinese: well, it depends which symlink you're referring to, exactly [19:58] the symlink is /usr/bin/python [19:58] amerinese: do you have an /etc/alternatives/python? [19:59] no [19:59] okay [19:59] i don't know what that is [20:00] Is Ubuntu One down currently? [20:00] it's a typical place for programs to be redirected when you want to switch between versions [20:00] amerinese: however, I don't think that python incorporates that, so you should be fine linking /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2.7 [20:00] Hi all! I have newly installed UbuntuNetbookRemix and trying to get Skype work on it. Video is ok, but I cannot make microphone work, although other programs work ok with it... anyhelp?

[20:01] pppeace: only if you explain what the problem is about [20:01] Gnea, Acer Aspire one D270 [20:01] so is there any way to add ruby support to the vim package? vim-ruby is not installable and i dont want to install gnome [20:01] Gnea, i have an iso file that i'm trying to mount, so i right click it and click "open with archive manager". nothing at all happens [20:02] so i guess hopefully any system scripts that really need 2.6 will point directly at 2.6 instead of /usr/bin/python [20:02] pppeace: right, archive managers browse archives (like .zip .tar .tgz .tar.bz2 etc) [20:03] Gnea, sorry i meant archive mounter [20:03] pppeace: if your iso is mounted correctly, you can just browse to it with nautilus [20:03] pppeace: an .iso isn't really an archive, it's an image [20:03] pppeace: sudo apt-get install gmountiso [20:03] apt-get install uqm uqm-voice [20:04] militantpotato, will that enable to mount iso files? [20:04] Play now for free - http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139755939 Enjoy it! [20:04] pppeace: it's in synaptic also. [20:04] pppeace: that's specifically for mounting image files (ISO among others) [20:04] is there an english version? [20:04] militantpotato thanks - gnea, thanks too [20:04] indrit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOneAOD250?action=show&redirect=AspireOne/AOD250#Fixing the microphone [20:05] pppeace: i googled mount iso in ubuntu [20:05] It was the 2nd or 3rd result [20:05] is 2gb ram slower than 512mb? [20:05] Hi, does anybody know what kind of encryption algorithm is used in Ubuntu 10.10 to create an encrypted partition on, say, a flash drive? Thanks! [20:05] pppeace: cheers [20:05] Does svn just run on port 80 or some other port? [20:05] !ugm | shcherbak [20:06] gNewPower: aes [20:06] !uqm | shcherbak [20:06] Does svn just run on port 80 or some other port? [20:06] silly bot [20:06] shcherbak, thanks, do you know what size the key is? where can I get some doc about that [20:06] shcherbak: hrm? [20:06] i blame Gnea [20:06] !uqm [20:07] best way to detect a usb disk has been plugged in? [20:07] "vim-ruby" is a virtual package provided by: [20:07] vim-nox vim-gtk vim-gnome [20:07] 14:06 Sorry, I don't know anything about uqm [20:07] assuming it hasn't been automounted [20:07] SoulShadow: heh [20:07] pardon me, but now will go google uqm [20:07] are they kidding? install a gui for ruby support? [20:07] ? [20:07] magicianlord - sorry, do you know what size AES? [20:08] Gnea, but SoundRecorder works fine, does it means anything? [20:08] rweng: what are you trying to do? [20:08] indrit: it might mean that the mic isn't mixing correctly [20:08] iTroll: it's detected automatically by default. Check your places drop-down [20:09] quiescens: i want to use the command-t plugin which requires vim to be installed with ruby-interpreter support. this is in the package vim-ruby as far as i know [20:10] rweng: and vim-nox means "no x" [20:10] Hello, i have a NVIDIA graphics card and a 66cm lcd tv.. can anyone tell me how i can adjust the screen? so that i can see the bottom and the top of my desktop? [20:10] quiescens: tried this but after installing it, i wasnt able to start vim anymore: [20:11] http://pastie.org/1243463 [20:12] citytaur: alt+f2 run nvidia-settings [20:13] hi! I'm having problems getting openGL to work with my ati mobility radeon x1600 card. Any recomendations? I have fglrx(which says it provides openGL support) [20:13] loooooooool === jeetendra is now known as Dreams [20:13] Hii all [20:14] http://omgili.com/driver-mobility-opengl-radeon-x1600 [20:14] hello Dreams, Do you have an ubuntu support question? [20:14] @ putr [20:14] Hey guys, I've got a school project where I'm programming through a parallel port (the one used for printers in the old times) but as my labtop doesn't have such a thing I've bought a transformer. USB to Parallel&Serial. My question is, Is there a terminal command which can tell me what port the USB is using? cause I'm programming in BASIC and I need to tell what address I'm sending the signal to. Thanks === indrit_ is now known as indrit [20:15] thanks kai6961 [20:15] jstoone: dmseg [20:15] np [20:15] jstoone: dmesg [20:16] jstoone: or sudo lsusb [20:16] hi, how can i change my ssh port if i dont have permissions to access /etc/ssh [20:17] rizkhan, sudo [20:17] rizkhan: then you are not system admin, so you shouldn't be able to ... [20:17] MilitantPotato: wow that's a lot af output.. [20:17] hii [20:17] MilitantPotato: of* [20:17] i am trying to launch gparted from the livecd and i get the error (when launched from the terminal) "unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler: what: basic_string::_S_create" [20:17] jstoone: dmesg will show the most recent device plugged in [20:17] Hey there I can't seem to get Nlite working through PlayOnlInux [20:17] cool, I'll try [20:17] kai6961: isnt this link for vista drivers? [20:17] maybe dmesg | grep usb [20:18] hi all - i loved the "alt-shift-arrow up" on 9.10 which seems to have gone on 10.04. is there any way to manually configure to bring it back? [20:18] vista 7 its all the same [20:18] any ideas what that might be? [20:18] part [20:18] kai6961: vista/7 !== ubuntu [20:18] lol i was kidding Putr, but nice to see you again :D [20:18] guntbert: there is no work around ? can i runs a script on the server so that it runs it on say port 3000 and forward it to port 22 [20:18] wasutton3: first question: did you check the integrity of the iso/CD? [20:18] jstoone: dmesg | grep usb if you did it awhile ago. sudo lsusb also would show it I'd think [20:18] :( [20:19] rizkhan: are you trying to connect to a server that is running on a nonstandard port, that's just ssh -p (port) [20:19] rizkhan: not without root rights [20:19] guntbert: yes, i got this error with two different downloads whos checksums checked out [20:19] rizkhan: i think the others are assuming you want to change the server's port [20:19] BIG UPS 4 dzragon !!! [20:19] nps citytaur [20:20] wasutton3: strange - can you launch it from the menu? [20:20] quiescens: since i dont have permissions, i cant run ssh on a different port .. and as guntbert said .. i cant vene forward that traffoc from that port to port 22 without root rights [20:20] kai6961: i dont see how that helps me with my openGL issue... all these problems.. i mite have rushed my move to linux... cuz i'll been doing is fixing crashes and stuff that dosent work [20:21] guntbert: no, it tries to start and then closes [20:21] hello [20:21] that means i cant use irssi using free account shellmix.com in my office :( [20:21] rizkhan: yes you can use another port for ssh [20:21] rizkhan: are you trying to connect to a ssh-server? [20:21] Putr you using ubuntu? I never had a SINGLE issue with mine, I'm actually using it to fix windows LOL [20:21] rizkhan: are you trying to CONNECT to a different port using the client or BIND the server to another port? [20:21] what is default encoding of tty terminal? [20:22] MilitantPotato: http://pastebin.com/fkMSKhuF - This is what I got by using dmesg [20:22] I want to set it to use UTF-8 [20:22] kai6961, you couldn't fix a thing. You dont know diddly about windoze [20:22] ilovefairuz: either way.. either run server on different port , or route traffic from that port to port 22 without having root rights [20:23] jstoone: so /dev/usb0 yea? did you try sudo lsub ? [20:23] DrManHatten I do, but i don't know about my motherboard, [20:23] \list [20:23] * quiescens blinks. [20:23] so assuming someone doesn't know anything about windows because they don't know about their motherboard is moot [20:23] wasutton3: really strange - I have to admit I haven't seen that before, so no idea, sorry - did you check the CD itself (from the boot menu) too? [20:23] kai - you don't even know how to download drivers for your hardware. [20:23] I do :| why said i didn't? [20:23] rizkhan: why do you need to connect to the server on a different port? but you can do it with SSH tunneling, IF the server will let you open a port but most likely it won't because of the firewall [20:24] it is really strange, its actually a liveusb [20:24] salve [20:24] !list [20:24] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:24] I wanted SPECIFIC ones though, so I could go out and get drivers, but since I'm here asking why x64 xp won't install I figured i'd follow step by step [20:24] i still don't understand what they are trying to do [20:25] ilovefairuz: coz i am unable to ssh to port 22 when m in office behind proxy, i could use port 443 as its open in firewall, but i cant run the ssh server on port 443 as i dont have root rights [20:25] @ DrManhattan [20:25] How can I find the version of a program that I have using the terminal? [20:25] Besides, you never fixed my problem, or even gave advice on it, so how can you comment on it ? [20:25] kai - it wont install b/c you don't know what you're doing. [20:25] MilitantPotato: http://treoo2.pastebin.com/zYaXNBZA - This is what I got from sudo lsusb - but what part of it is the address of the usb? [20:26] rizkhan: then there's no way to connect to the server unless you tunnel through a third machine [20:26] rypervenche: usually -V or --version [20:26] guntbert: Thank you. [20:26] DrManhattan, kai6961: i suggest if you have to argue, you do that in private. here, instead, why don't you restate your Ubuntu issue in detail if you have one? [20:26] rypervenche: alternatively apt-cache policy (package name) can tell you what version of a package is installed [20:27] LjL I'm using PlayonLinux and i can't seem to open Nlite as per the steps in a forum to get x64 XP on my box working [20:27] ljl I am not arguing. [20:27] DrManhattan: Please remember that we are volenteers providing help. [20:27] DrManhatten, yes you are , so stop argueing [20:28] We are doing this in our free time :) [20:28] :d MichaelH <3 [20:28] Michael - and I appreciate it. As I said before, I'm not arguing. In fact, Im placing kai on ignore now. [20:28] hehe, sounds exactly like that monty python sketch [20:28] hahaha [20:28] He loves me [20:28] buying an argument and arguing on his free time ^_^ [20:28] kai6961: ok, i don't know what playonline is, what nlite is, and what you mean by x64 XP (Windows XP?). maybe i'm just clueless about your problem but maybe it would help to state it more clearly. weren't you saying something about WINE? [20:29] PlayOnLinux ** WINE type application [20:29] rizkhan: if you have a web account, you can install a "web shell" that will let you execute simple commands on the server, but it can't run sophisticated applications that using a windowing toolkit like terminal irc clients [20:29] LjL he means 64 bit windows xp [20:29] an operating system generally meant only for the systems it was distributed with [20:29] kai6961: WINE stands for WINEIs Not an Emulator [20:29] if I replace my motherboard,ram and cpu could I still use the same installation I have on my hard drive? or would i have to reinstall? [20:29] MicahelH, the more you know eh? all I know is it runs windows applications, and it's failing to run a windows application; Nlite [20:29] androidbruce: You will have the same install [20:29] Something constructive please next time [20:29] <_Sketch_> Can anyone recommend a WiFi USB Dongle? And also of note: The Cisco Linksys AE1000 does not work out of the box. [20:29] androidbruce: yes you can, this is not windows! [20:30] * cyphase is is about to install 10.10 after almost 57 days of his computer being on [20:30] ilovefairuz, ha! [20:30] kai6961: Some programs may have issues [20:30] MichealH, ilovefairuz so ubuntu will recognize the new hardware and give me the performance upgrade I'm installing? [20:30] kai6961: so anyway did you try the chmod +x thing? [20:30] it's not encountering an error though it just doesn't load :( [20:30] kai6961: Constructive? [20:30] ffffuuuu [20:30] ljL didn't know about the click button inside prop to run as executable [20:30] androidbruce: yes, the vast majority of drivers are included by default [20:30] androidbruce: Yup [20:31] ilovefairuz, MichealH SICK!! [20:31] empathy sucks, kopete crashes all the time, pidgin the same .. what the hell to use? [20:31] androidbruce: ?? [20:31] androidbruce: you may need to activate the driver for the video or wlan card [20:31] ilovefairuz, MichealH im fairly new linux user. I swore off winfail 8 months ago [20:31] androidbruce: just put more attention on graphic cart if it is nVidia or Ati [20:31] MichealH, 'sick' is an american expression meaning, awesome [20:31] i am trying to move my working ubuntu installation to a new hard drive (since the old one has lots of bad sectors), what would the best way to go about doing this? [20:31] shcherbak, im keeping same video [20:31] jstoone: looks like /dev/ttyUSB0 [20:32] wasutton3_: image it with ghost [20:32] !dd [20:32] androidbruce: so no problem [20:32] so i have 3 hd's in my box. at first i just had windows. then i dual installed maverick, now i cant boot into windows. the drive is still there and listed as sda, where my linux drives are sdb1 how can i get my dual boot to work, boot managers i have tried dont show sda as a bootable drive [20:32] Diehard: What you said could be interpreted as flaimebait. Could you please explain it a bit nicer? [20:32] wasutton3, you can dd from one drive to another [20:32] ilovefairuz: did u reply to me .. i got disconnected [20:33] Diehard: Im talking about your question BTW [20:33] MichealH: do you mean the first statement or the 2nd? [20:33] rizkhan: if you have a web account, you can install a "web shell" that will let you execute simple commands on the server, but it can't run sophisticated applications that using a windowing toolkit like terminal irc clients [20:33] MichealH: oh .. yea [20:33] wasutton3, boot into a live environment and dd the old drive to the new, assuming it reads the "bad sectors" [20:33] Diehard: are you referring to a specific command or the commercial product norton ghost? [20:33] MichealH: sry .. but .. can't choose the right client [20:33] Diehard: For what? [20:33] androidbruce: thats what i was avioiding, because dd will copy the bad sectors [20:33] wasutton3_: I use ghost32 (the very old one) from my bartpe bootable cd [20:33] IRC? Chat? [20:34] quick question. I run mdadm with my raid5. I reinstalled recently, and as soon as I installed mdadm, my RAID showed up. The only problem is it mounted it here: /media/e7db5f68-ec20-43a6-813a-95631cbb398f/. Is there a way to make that less ugly? [20:34] MichealH: icq, jabber .. I used empathy, but I miss many features like ignore and etc. [20:34] ilovefairuz: the basic issue is to use irssi [20:34] I recently got a sony vaio vpcz13m9e/b with its dynamic hybrid graphic system. Does ubuntu have support for such hardware? [20:34] ilovefairuz: but i guess its not possible :( [20:34] Hmm... [20:34] MichealH: so I decided to move to kopete .. but It always freezes after closing chat window [20:34] rizkhan: try finding a web-based IRC client and install it [20:34] r1k0: best you try with a live CD [20:34] guntbert: ok [20:34] MichealH: really dunno why .. the same problem with pidgin [20:35] ilovefairuz: ok, thanks! [20:35] rizkhan: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=ajax+irc+client [20:35] MilitantPotato: Do you know how to program in BASIC? [20:35] Diehard: I cant seem to know any more clients other than those [20:35] MichealH: for irc I use screen + irssi on one of my servers .. [20:35] Diehard: Me too (But I use a shell) [20:35] MichealH: and thats the problem :/ .. dont want to jump to wine because of this [20:36] jstoone: no, sorr [20:36] jstoone: this is not a programmers channel - its only for ubuntu support [20:36] hi..just intalled ubuntu 10.10...tryin' to update software..it's asking for a password..and not accepting the account password..plz help is it asking for the root password? if yes then i did not give any root password while installation..wa [20:36] MichealH: I'm thinking about icq & jabber in irssi .. I used to have icq like this, but it was really like a stick in my ass .. [20:37] Diehard: Hmm... [20:37] !language | Diehard [20:37] Diehard: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:37] guntbert: You beat me! [20:37] MilitantPotato: That's ok, I'm not looking for any lessons just had to ask (: [20:37] hi..just intalled ubuntu 10.10...tryin' to update software..it's asking for a password..and not accepting the account password..plz help is it asking for the root password? if yes then i did not give any root password while installation..what to do next plz hlp!!! [20:37] zico when you installed it had you make two different passwords. one is account. the other is internet keyring [20:37] guntbert: I know just had to ask (: [20:37] zico, normaly there is no root pass on ubuntu you need to type the pass of your account [20:37] I have a wireless usb device and I was wondering if I can use it as an access point. lsusb lists it as us 001 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter. How can I find this out? [20:38] zico: boot into single user mode, run passwd, set the root password, profit. [20:38] !noroot [20:38] We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [20:38] quick question. I run mdadm with my raid5. I reinstalled recently, and as soon as I installed mdadm, my RAID showed up. The only problem is it mounted it here: /media/e7db5f68-ec20-43a6-813a-95631cbb398f/. Is there a way to make that less ugly? [20:38] Mathrys83: it did not ask for internet keyring password.. [20:38] leshaste: what driver does it use? find out from: sudo lshw -C network [20:38] Can some one please tell me how to boot to bash, i've set init to run level 3, and i've removed gdm from rc.c, but it still boots to Gnome. [20:39] !runlevel | naynay [20:39] naynay: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [20:39] how do you boot to terminal? [20:39] maintenance mode in grub [20:39] Why do all my make commands ending with errors? here's the logg http://treoo2.pastebin.com/8xDs7jjW [20:39] hardwarehank:how do we boot in single user mode? [20:39] naynay: but you can switch to a virtual terminla with F1 any time [20:39] if it's not there, just append single to the kernel params [20:39] ilovefairuz: hmm... that doesn't seem to tell you http://pastebin.ca/1971214 [20:40] zico: append single to the kernel params [20:40] !upstart? [20:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:40] leshaste: pastebin all: sudo lshw [20:40] magicianlord are you asking about a graphical console or a terminal console. graphical can be set when you log in looking at the bottom of the screen before you accept your password [20:40] hardwarehank: bro..i'm new to ubuntu..u have to guide me really slow!!..plz explain in detail [20:40] zico: the password should be the same one you used to log in [20:41] Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. [20:41] naynay, i don't really know how that's done with upstart (i'm still running an old version of ubuntu), but i imagine you could always uninstall gdm [20:41] robin0800: itz nt acceptin' dat.. [20:41] tried it already [20:41] zico: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+single+user+mode [20:41] jstoone: did you follow the install instructions (there is usually a README or INSTALL) [20:41] ilovefairuz: sudo lshw [20:41] LjL: I think tht's what im gonna do. [20:41] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/E9ujMLtc [20:41] leshaste: lsmod | grep rt [20:41] Hi everyone. I just installed folding@home using origami package in my notebook [20:41] zico: caps lock on? [20:41] im talkiing about booting into bash [20:41] and zico something to keep in mind, is that linux os's are extremely case sensitive [20:42] robin0800: nopezie!! [20:42] following this instruction to automate the stop and start when notebook move from AC to battery as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome#Folding%20on%20a%20Notebook [20:42] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/Qj1CvWCz [20:42] however, in maverick /etc/acpi/battery.d/fah.sh doesn't exist [20:42] quick question. I run mdadm with my raid5. I reinstalled recently, and as soon as I installed mdadm, my RAID showed up. The only problem is it mounted it here: /media/e7db5f68-ec20-43a6-813a-95631cbb398f/. Is there a way to make that less ugly? [20:42] magicianlord: 10.10? or oler? [20:42] Sometimes I use the alt-number keys to use clis. Does anyone know how I could alter their appearance? Colour and terminal size, that kind of thing. [20:42] zico: log out and then back in [20:43] robin0800: done that awready.. [20:43] The_Mesolithic: I think inittab defines that. Or /etc/profile [20:43] guntbert: well the website told me just to say "make install" at the root of the dir.. [20:43] shall I change /etc/acpi/events/ac and /etc/acpi/events/battery files? [20:43] Thanks for your help hardwarehank. [20:43] naynay: 1010 [20:44] zico: you typed sudo I presume [20:44] anyone know how to get ssh working? [20:44] magicianlord: Okay, we're both working on the same thing. So if i figure it out i'll tell you. [20:44] hellslinger: server or client? [20:44] jstoone: usually there is ./configure, then make then sudo make install [20:44] naynay: server, never used to have trouble [20:44] ilovefairuz: it seems to be rt73usb [20:44] doesn't anyone here use mdadm? [20:45] robin0800: sudo then what? u takin' bout a sudo scoop command? [20:45] guntbert: there's a "config.h" file.. [20:45] zico: what are you trying to do? [20:46] ilovefairuz: which mode am I looking for? http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Hardware [20:46] Folks, what do I have to edit to trick my ubuntu machine that domain is somewhere else. I would like that by typing yahoo.com takes me to google :) |Thx [20:46] hardwarehank: i'm not getting the grub screen during boot!! i have windows XP as a another install.. [20:46] jstoone: thats another thing, but your system is missing gnome-config, did you istall build-essentials ? [20:46] robin06800: trying to update the os plus a few softwares..datz all.. [20:47] leshaste: master/ap [20:47] No I don't think so. === enissay is now known as Enissay [20:47] ilovefairuz: ah ok.. very interesting [20:47] zico: hmm so there's no grub menu at all? Does it say grub loading or anything and have a countdown? [20:47] zico: you need to reinstall grub [20:47] hellslinger: odd. The default install worked fine for me. YOu doing something else?

I reinstalled recently, and as soon as I installed mdadm, my RAID showed up. The only problem is it mounted it here: /media/e7db5f68-ec20-43a6-813a-95631cbb398f/. Is there a way to make that less ugly? [20:51] hello, is here anyone knowing who is responsible for the express edition, i've got a big bug/fail and want to ask if this was intended to be a feature... [20:52] hai [20:52] zico: well hitting shift at boot time should allow you to select the recover console and use that [20:52] Will support for high-dpi mouses be added in afuture release? A razer mouse with 3500 dpi is pretty much unusable [20:53] robin0800: nice I didn't know that [20:53] vigge_sWe: probably more of a kernel thing [20:53] funny my wife has a razer mouse on her machine and its fine [20:53] on lowest mouse sensitivity in ubuntu, if you blow on the mouse, the pointer would go all across the screen (nah not really, but almost lol) [20:53] hi all [20:53] or actually, it does lolol [20:54] I have a sound problem under ubuntu 10.10 on my laptot [20:54] : / [20:54] laptop?

Did the mouse come with a driver separate? [20:55] but my card seems properly installed [20:55] pulseaudio seems to work.. alsamixer shows proper levels etc [20:55] Bou: install pavucontrol and mess with all the settings [20:55] vigge_swe: you can just manually set a lower sensitivity as a workaround [20:55] already installed alsamixer [20:55] Bou: do you have an earphone ? plug it in and see if it sings [20:55] ubottu: Hey man [20:55] hardwarehank: yes their is if you edit etc/default/grub you can use /dev/sda or turn off uuid [20:56] somebody please tell me how to install driver for nvidia 9800gt in ubuntu 10.04 plzzzzzzz [20:56] no sound on the jack output [20:56] how do I see if hostapd is in backports or proposed for lynx?

[20:57] robin0800: well, it's not a boot device - it's not even listed in /etc/fstab [20:57] but I have to run it at every login [20:57] pankaj should be able to go into administration additional drivers [20:57] I have that same card [20:58] how to go in there "administration additional drivers" [20:58] system menu [20:58] this upstart bull is enough to make me ditch ubuntu...

[21:06] Bou: maybe you can tell the model of your laptop and search it in google [21:06] Bou: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:06] Diamondcite, yeah [21:06] i tried but nothing interesting [21:06] can't mount iso files, any help? i kinda half-mounted a file but now i can't unmount it without a root-pw (which i don't have). also, when i run the program it tells me to insert the cd :s [21:06] Diamondcite: it is NTFS, was used by windows for two years u ntil i realised windows is doing it a lot of damage and moved to linux a few weeks back [21:06] michaelxq: well you choose .APT from the drop down menu and then choose "software-center" and OK then it'll install all by it self (: [21:06] Diamondcite, its there [21:06] but the sound worked yesterday [21:06] pankaj: Please install it? [21:06] Bou: give me the model [21:06] Diamondcite, ok [21:06] Bou: i'll try it [21:06] jstoone, thanks. i'll try it [21:07] LDC: Been invisible since? [21:07] guntbert: oh... I'll go install it right away. [21:07] Bou: when i get trouble, i just google [21:07] LDC: tried mounting it from disk utility you can also check it from here [21:07] Diamondcite, waiting for other software manager to quit.. what is this? [21:07] after upgrade, my chrome is showing this message: Your preferences can not be read. How can i sove it ? [21:07] michaelxq: no problem mate, if it still won't install then just write again. [21:07] asus N82JQ (try also with N82J only , because N82JQ seems to be sold almost only in france) [21:07] Diamondcite, i m not installing anything [21:07] not since.. just past few days it's starting going invisible. a few rare times it did show and then disappear again when trying to copy files or access the huge collectin of music through music player [21:08] Diamondcite, right now [21:08] can't mount iso files, any help? i kinda half-mounted a file but now i can't unmount it without a root-pw (which i don't have). also, when i run the program it tells me to insert the cd even though it shows as mounted in nautilus(hence why i called it half-mounted) [21:08] pankaj: More than 1 is running? Is synaptic running? [21:08] also, how can I completely disable cpufreq scaling? I tried to set a higher frequency but it's stuck in 800MHz whatever I do... [21:08] LDC: That's really concerning.. is the drive still in good shape? [21:08] @pppeace_ have you tried turning it off an on? [21:08] can I maybe get rid of the kernel module for frequency scaling? [21:08] robin0800: i don't get the option to check file system [21:09] alexander_m turning what off and on? [21:09] Diamondcite, sorry buddy, its updating something [21:09] Diamondcite: yes it is. i read something online about fsck. could that help? [21:09] the pc [21:09] hardwarehank: i enteren the GNU GRUB..but after i entered single..hit enter..but b then was again taking me to the next line..nothin' was being accepted [21:09] robin0800: Isn't it a bad idea to check NTFS inside linux? [21:09] Say, cellwriter doesn't do "extended input events" well for me... so I can't use the tablet's eraser. [21:09] alexander_m well yeah i have, that unmounts the file, but it still gets me no further [21:09] LDC: fsck is for linux file systems NOT windows based ones. [21:09] oh ok. [21:09] if i reinstall grub2 for some reason say i installed windows, and obviously the UUIDs in grub.conf are wrong how do i fix this? [21:09] anyone around ? [21:09] alexander_m since if i mount it again it's just the same problem again [21:09] pankaj: Please wait for it to finish, It'll instal eventually? [21:10] guntbert: great now it's installed I'll try to compile now. [21:10] grub-update actually requirs me to boot the OS, i can't do it from a livecd [21:10] How can i roolback the chrome upgrade ? [21:10] Diamondcite, thankyou bro [21:10] pankaj: While you are at it... look for jockey [21:10] can i edit grub.cfg for the time being then run update-grub when i am in my environment? [21:10] LDC: I do under mount is check file system note you cannot check a mounted drive [21:10] Kalidarn: tune2fs -U [21:10] pankaj: Do you see "Additional Drivers (jockey-gtk) ? [21:10] Kalidarn: this way you don't have to edit grub/fstab [21:10] alkisg: ah okay [21:10] Diamondcite, what is jockey? [21:11] Diamondcite, i am newbie to this [21:11] it's not mounted robin0800 i mean. i don't even have the drive n the list to mount it :S [21:11] alkisg: i didn't think that it was possible ;) [21:11] How is KDE with tablet PCs? [21:11] Is there a pen input system? [21:11] guntbert: do I need to reboot or relog or something? [21:11] pankaj: jockey-gtk seems to be Ubuntu's method of finding drivers which needs additional licenses to operate. [21:11] alexander_m any ideas? [21:11] LDC: I thought you said you could see it [21:11] Diamondcite, ok [21:11] hard disc operations are getting increasingly slower and sometimes the system hangs for several seconds as it tries to write/read something to/from the hard disk. how can I figure out what the problem is? [21:12] pankaj: Or just things which aren't free I was sure it would be already installed by default... [21:12] jstoone: no ... installing the package should suffice - do you still get errors? [21:12] robin0800: only in the disk utility my friend. or very rarely in the PLACES list [21:12] pankaj: Tell me, what is the first thing you see under "System -> Administration" [21:12] Diamondcite, its already installed [21:12] Bou: i got only this, and the guy did know how to solve it, but his speaker works http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1534977 === nouitfvf is now known as nouitfvf|aw [21:12] pankaj: Did that program work? Did it see anything? [21:12] LDC: its the disk utility I'm talking about [21:12] Diamondcite, computer janitor? [21:13] Bou: sorry, the guy didn't know [21:13] guntbert: jup. the folder is placed on my desktop and I'm executing "sudo make install" [21:13] hey [21:13] pankaj: "Additional Drivers" [21:13] pankaj: That's what jockey-gtk installs [21:13] robin0 [21:13] how can iI figure out what my main output is called, I'm trying to create a new preset in xrandr?

[21:13] I tried VGA and I keep getting a "this output does not exist" error [21:13] robin0800: its still not working...how do i get the passwrd to update/install new software?!?!?!? [21:13] Diamondcite, alzie .. yeah its there [21:13] jstoone: please pastebin the output, I expect a different error :-) [21:14] Diamondcite, its hardware driver [21:14] robin0800: sorry about the previous post. so what to do from the utility? please. i need a way to accessing at least some of the file before being suggested to clean the complete disk [21:14] guntbert: 2 sek. [21:14] pankaj: I believe someone wanted you to run that first.. it would have made life easier? [21:14] Diamondcite, ok [21:15] LDC if you can see you can check it [21:15] pankaj: After nvidia-current finshes installing(it was in-progress) please run that utility? [21:15] Diamondcite, well i guess i got another way to install software [21:16] robin0800: check how when the check option isn't available? [21:16] robin0800: When could Linux check NTFS partitions? [21:16] guntbert: Now, I made an "ls" command so you can se what's in the folder(top) - http://treoo2.pastebin.com/uCRwFPzW [21:16] folks, can I change dns address for particular website, something like hosts file in Windows?

[21:18] LDC: But make sure you have another 500GB drive available in something that is NOT NTFS [21:18] LDC: testdisk is a basic file recovery app [21:18] guys need a help with update/install of new software in ubuntu..it's asking me for a passwrd..but it's nit accepting my user account password..plz help what is the passwrod or how to get it work..plz help!!!!! [21:19] LDC: If the drive is actually still working, it can see inside even if NTFS is a little damaged.

[21:19] guntbert: but do you see any difference in the errors? [21:20] acyc: should tell you what processes are writing to the disk and which ones are the most active [21:20] robin0800: I really never knew the ntfs-3g driver could do that.. always thought linux was read-write only.

[21:40] Diamondcite: agreed ... and I didn't want to interfere with your conversation :-) [21:41] hey folks [21:41] was trying out 10.10 [21:42] but when I added a new user the theming has changed [21:42] hi! I receive an error during before an update of Firefox for Karmic [21:42] it says: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xulrunner-1.9.2/xulrunner-1.9.2_1.9.2.12~hg20101015r34683+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~karmic_amd64.deb [21:42] 404 Not Found [21:42] looks a bit antiquated and will not change theme at all [21:42] does it require a reboot after adding a new user [21:43] nicole: shouldnt... [21:43] how come nobody is willing/able to help me fix that automount problem [21:43] well then I'm not sure what the deal is let me try and create another user to see if the same thing happens [21:43] nicole: did you log out and then back in as the new user? [21:44] nicole: do you use 64-bit version and an nvidia gfx card? [21:44] yes I did [21:44] yes I do [21:44] well not a gfx but a gt330 [21:44] let me find the fix for you, one moment. [21:44] I am running 64 bit with nvidia [21:45] ok maedox thank you very much [21:45] looking at wondows partition from ubuntu [21:45] any pointer plz [21:46] is anyone around to help? i'm having troubles formatting a hardware raid array. it's only seeing 10tb out of 11tb [21:46] windows* [21:46] nicole: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9969103 [21:46] nicole: bottom post [21:46] thank you maedox I will check it out [21:46] anyone [21:46] ? [21:46] nicole: the login screen will look bad, but after login it's fine :) [21:46] whatisthe: what raid level, how many devices [21:47] hi! I receive an error during before an update of Firefox for Karmic: Failed to fetch a file... [21:47] raid 6 with 13 1tb drives [21:47] rammyIRC, could you repeat your question please [21:47] I got a problem with ubuntu 10.04 sd-automount [21:47] i want to mount my windows partion [21:47] whatisthe: hmm your math is correct [21:47] why would the log in screen look bad maedox [21:47] im trying but no much help [21:47] madjoe: it's a third party repository, we can't really help you, but try sudo apt-get update and then try again to update the file. [21:48] hardwarehank: fdisk sees 11tb, but when i format it it only seems to create a 10tb volume [21:48] maedox: thanks m8 [21:48] rammyIRC, ubuntu picks up ntfs partition you just have to click/mount the drive [21:48] whatisthe: ohhh what filesystem? [21:48] nicole: because the work-around disables theming on the login screen. [21:48] i have some videos i pulled off my camcorder at DV AVI quality, what can I use to get them into a format i can put on youtube? [21:48] so maedox how do you reenable theming after applying fix [21:48] hardwarehank: i'm trying to set it up with lvm [21:48] i see my hard drive 250 gb [21:48] whatisthe: you still have to have a filesystem [21:49] but when i click and mount it [21:49] is this an issue with 32 bit system as well? [21:49] i dont know what is the mount point [21:49] ? [21:49] hardwarehank: i'm formatting it as a linux lvm partition [21:49] Hey all [21:49] i dont know where to go and browse [21:49] WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME!? [21:49] hardwarehank: and then probably ext4 once lvm is set up [21:50] whatisthe: so you have it partitioned as lvm and what tool is reporting 10tb? [21:50] any ideas [21:50] Ahh, so mibbit was blocked. Right. I had some trouble getting fdisk and gparted to recognize my hdd and ssd drive [21:50] ?? [21:50] rammyIRC, the mount point would be /media however if you're doing it through nautilus you don't need to go their as it would have it on the left side as a hd [21:50] nicole: if you want to revert, just do the opposite of the fix: sudo mv /usr/share/gdm/nostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/ [21:50] I want help with that damn automount [21:50] okay i will check [21:50] ciao! [21:50] :) [21:51] whatisthe: keep in mind ext4 only supports 16 TiB currently so if you grow in the future you'll have to remember that [21:51] hardwarehank: gparted only sees 10tb and if i run pvcreate it creates a 10tb pv size [21:51] thanks [21:51] rammyIRC, is the partition actually mounted you can sudo fidsk -l to check which drive partition is your windows [21:51] Though, not even my bios will recognize them, it seems. Nvm what I said. [21:51] !patience | ubuntu [21:51] ubuntu: 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/ [21:51] maedox: funny thing... I had to type TWICE: sudo apt-get update and then my update really worked... weird [21:51] whatisthe: use fdisk to make the partition, then use mkfs.ext4 on it instead of lvm. why do you want lvm? [21:51] madjoe: odd indeed. maybe some cache somewhere needed convincing :D [21:51] hardwarehank: ok thanks for the info, i don't plan on expanding much in the future but if i need to i can change the filesystem [21:52] :) [21:52] viewer transmageddon in the software centre looks like it will fill your need [21:52] whatisthe: also, watch the amount of space it reserves for the super-user - it's usually 5% [21:52] hardwarehank: fdisk won't work because it doesn't support gpt partition tables, i want to use lvm so i can resize virtual partitions easily [21:52] cheers there [21:52] amarcolino: i did use tht to se the partions [21:53] whatisthe: hmm I see - does ext4 currently support resizing well? [21:53] but i dont know how to mount the partitions into the linux [21:54] hardwarehank: why does it reserve space for a non-os array? i believe it does [21:54] whatisthe: it's just the default settings for mkfs on ext filesystems - I have no idea why it does [21:54] \nick lucky10 === Guest41606 is now known as lucky10 [21:54] rammyIRC, if the partition aint mounted you can always do it manually through - sudo mkdir /media/windows | sudo mount /dev/sd* (drive which belongs to your windows) most of the times you wont need to use the -t option for the file format unless needed [21:54] whatisthe: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/gdisk.8.html [21:54] gdisk - GUID partition table (GPT) manipulator for Linux and Unix [21:55] whatisthe: maybe that will work [21:55] Hi all. I'm having some problems with sound. Suddenly, my sound stops working after login. [21:55] maedox, is it the same for the 32 bit install [21:55] ? [21:55] hardwarehank: i already installed gdisk, ill see if i can format the array again with it [21:56] ubuntu: open a terminal, type tail -f /var/log/syslog and plug your usb device - you should see what is happening [21:56] whatisthe: k. I have a feeling it's an LVM issue. I've formatted similar sized partitions and had no problems, but I never bother with lvm. [21:58] hardwarehank: i don't think it's an lvm issue since gparted only sees 10tb of space as well [21:58] how do I sudo apt-get install from a specific ppa? [21:58] sudo apt-get package ppa://something.something lucid main [21:59] alzie, thanks transmageddon looks sweet [21:59] whatisthe: oh i see [21:59] hi all [21:59] WXZ: you have to add the ppa as a source (sudo add-apt-repository ppa-link), then install the package as usual. [21:59] whatisthe: can you get a raw number of megabytes or gigabytes it's seeing? [21:59] ok, just making sure that's the only way [22:00] whatisthe: also, later, make sure you look into what block size to use when formatting [22:00] when my netbook screen goes to sleep I have to use my password to get back in. How do I stop that and just go back by touching the mouse? [22:00] whatisthe: I can't go back now and I regret it [22:00] hardwarehank: gparted sees 10.00TiB of raw data, fdisk sees 11000.0 GB [22:01] whatisthe: that is bizzare [22:01] i was running fine with 10.10 netbook edition until apt-get upgrade killed me. I now have a "unable to mount root fs kernel-panic" [22:01] i'm trying to isntall the genecys client, and when doing ./configure, it ends up returning: "configure: error: *** Can't find Cal3D installation. Did you specify a path using --with-cal3d= ***" [22:01] hardwarehank: should block size match stripe size? right now i have it configured to use 128kb stripe size [22:01] install [22:01] any suggestions ? === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [22:02] whatisthe: I think i have mine set to 128k and 256 would be better for my files apparently. [22:02] gnubu: its in screensavers god knows why thou [22:02] any help would be *greatly* appreciated [22:02] whatisthe: depends on avg filesize - lots of small files need lower block size, bigger is better for bigger files [22:03] okay, i fixed that configure problem [22:03] HOWEVER [22:04] it's now talking about openrm, which i can't find in synaptic [22:04] zygomatik, not sure this will help try to fsck the root partition if you can access recovery mode and apt-get -f upgrade might help [22:04] i can't access recovery mode [22:05] I would need some help with grub shell [22:05] why cant i find the setup command ? [22:05] hey maedox still there? [22:05] it worked perfectly [22:05] and also the kernel command ? [22:05] grub is no more like it used to be [22:05] hardwarehank: k this is primarily for media so a larger block size would be ideal, i'll try and reformat the raw volume with the hardware controllers menu and see if that helps [22:05] nicole: I'm here. Great. :D [22:05] issue I am having now is that the standard apps will not install on 64 bit [22:05] thank you for helping btw [22:05] whatisthe: k good luck [22:06] zygomatik: you need shift [22:06] nicole: which apps? [22:06] i tried installing adobe reader and frostwire from the websites [22:06] robin0800: what is shift ? [22:06] zygomatik: have you tried useing a boot recovery cd/usb? [22:06] and ubuntu software center just said they are not for this architecture [22:07] zygomatik: the keyboard key [22:07] gnubu: coz it's complicated, I booted on a friends cd [22:07] robin0800: explain i dont get the joke [22:08] I am trying to do an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, but update-manager is not finding the new 10.10, i ran it with update-manager --dist-upgrade [22:08] also maedox I also really like boxee but on 10.10 i get a dependency error [22:08] zygomatik: that's how you see the recovery menu [22:08] zygomatik, when the system is booting hold shift on the keyboard and the grub prompt will appear/ be displayed [22:08] zygomatik: he probably wanted to tell you that you need to press the(left) key to get the grub menu at boot [22:09] how do I change desktop settings on 10.10 netbook edition? [22:09] robin0800: so you're not taking about the recovery-mode entry in the boot section from grub ? [22:09] those flash pages that need access to the microphone and webcam only show "linux microphone" and that is not working [22:09] any ideas? [22:09] zygomatik: yes I am [22:10] amarcolino, robin0800 thanks for the hint [22:10] i actually did that [22:10] and now i'm in the grub shell [22:10] just a quick question. I have googled and read forum - could not find an answer. Themes will not load on login - default gnome theme only. this only happens on my account - wife account does not do this. [22:10] ... [22:10] hardwarehank: thanks for the help :) [22:10] how to make a command line script run when logging in but showing the terminal window? [22:10] recovery mode does not work it kernel panics the same [22:11] nicole: not sure what frostwire is for, but you really don't need adobe reader on ubuntu. In general installing ia32-libs might help you to run 32-bit apps on 64-bit edition. Can't help you with Boxee, but you can try to search for a boxee ppa to install from. [22:11] zygomatik: use an alternate disk then === Molly is now known as Guest68219 [22:11] ok so is there a way of installing 32 bit apps on 64 bit system like on win [22:11] Quick question: I've made a custom application launcher for Minecraft on the GNOME panel, however, for the command, I can't remember the thing you're supposed to type in before the path (some sort of java command). Does anyone know what it is? [22:11] Question: Does anyone know of any step-by-step documentation for setting up a video streaming server on Ubuntu? (using Icecast2 and Ices2, only) [22:12] Nevermind [22:12] robin0800: ok point taken, but where are the standard grub commands setup and kernel gone ?

[22:16] zygomatik: have you net access?

Thanks, nicole [22:18] you're welcome [22:18] nicole: yes, but you might have to compile them yourself. ia32-libs can work. But I'm not really that experienced with that, so you should look up some guide or see if someone else in here knows. [22:18] migsx: Then add i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" line.

[22:28] I'm running ubuntu 10.10 on a desktop machine and I probably had my ethernet driver fail when I did my last update. [22:29] Jordan_U: well, when i was in 10.04 and i tried to rip to avi container, reguardless of codec, playback would be out of synch and even skip large scenes randomly [22:29] does anyone know about openrm? [22:29] I haven't done a lot of investigation on my machine, and I'm not at it at the moment. Has anyone heard anything? [22:29] what is the ideal mediacenter to use when you use your machine also as Workstation ? [22:29] can anyone tell me what audio programs come in ubuntu studio ? [22:29] i use ubuntu 10.04, and those flash pages that need access to the microphone and webcam only show "linux microphone" and that is not working [22:29] and that's if it actually ripped, sometimes it would get 10 minutes in and just stop, plabing it on the lib [22:29] Can anyone help with my netbook internet card?

[22:29] !mediaubuntu > MatBoy [22:29] !anyone | preston [22:29] preston: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:29] bluefox83: That likely has nothing to do with libdvdread/libdvdcss. [22:29] Hi everyone. (?) please about forwarding ports on ubuntu for "Transmission" torrent. Not too sure what I am supposed to do. Have Belkin_N_Wireless router. Am I making any sense? [22:29] !mediabuntu [22:30] how to update [22:30] my source lis [22:30] Jordan_U: then why does it directly blame libdvdread? [22:30] ?? [22:30] I have a issue with vmbuilder. When trying to build a lucid vm, no matter if using archive.ubuntu.com or iso option, vmbuilder always fails to install grub. The server is an ubuntu lucid. [22:30] !mediabuntu [22:30] bluefox83: Where / how does "it" blame libdvdread and what is "it"? [22:30] erase an hdd called /dev/sdg and it's partitions like this? dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdg [22:31] Is there a way by which I can have my system on at particular time to do one task by itself? [22:31] Hi everybody [22:31] Jordan_U: well, i've used dvd::rip and handbrake both, they both fail and give the warning that the problem is with libdvdread [22:31] ubottu: Have you heard anything about recent package updates breaking network drivers? [22:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:31] oh, you're a bot. [22:31] lulz. [22:31] Know any links where I might get some education from on this subject, please?

[22:32] I am trying to convert from nfsv3 to nfsv4, but have a problem: On the server I have /opt/exports/home and /opt/exports/public. I want "home" to be "no_root_squash" and "public" to be "all_squash", but it seems those options are ignored, and the option set for fsid=0 (/opt/exports/nfs) is overriding everything? [22:32] Ryen: Iḿ considering mythtv or moovida [22:32] is there anybody who can help me how to install to Ubuntu Photoshop ???? [22:32] Condorito: check out your routers support resources, it's nothing to do with ubuntu [22:32] bluefox83: Can you play DVDs with VLC or other programs without issue?

[22:34] shokgi_: the bot - ubottu has just sent you information on how to use photoshop [22:35] Condorito: contact your router support guide, it's the same as windows [22:35] what's the easiest VM to set up? [22:35] what's the easiest VM to set up? [22:35] Are you a person who actually knows things and can answer me questions? Then maybe you can help me! I am far away from my computer but I only really want to know if people have heard of a recent package update breaking ethernet drivers. I just installed some packages, and my system no longer connects to the internet; now I'm at school, so I can't do anything on my machine right now, but I would like some suggestions on how to approach the problem. [22:35] hey guys, when i try to install anything in ubuntu 10.10 i get this: http://pastebin.com/76T9Hc0x [22:35] can anyone help me out? [22:35] i been using ubuntu many times a long time and my new problem i start up i am in the newest version beta. Well whenI login, no matter what account I see flooding in my bottom taskbar (windows opening and they show up with the name ... ... .. because they are so many.) well when i closed down i had an oppurtunity to see they name it was "File Manageer" but they keep opening hundreds and [22:35] hundreds, I need a way to disable it, I can run terminal and other stuff, but I just cant see them in terminal ps x or otherwise they are flooding me out, please help [22:36] anyone know an easy way to ionice gnome session? [22:36] bluefox83: Can you try playing a DVD with VLC? [22:36] msr ionice ? [22:36] Okay, different angle. I used to be able to make exceptions in my Windows firewall no problems. How do I do it in ubuntu? [22:36] Jordan_U: haven't tried it [22:36] ikonia, ionice as in nice for IO. [22:37] bluefox83: Please do try it and report the results. [22:37] man ionice [22:37] msr: ahh, io nice [22:37] Condorito, look into ufw or iptables [22:37] amarcolino: no [22:37] (oh and by people who actually know things, I mean not ubottu unless ubottu has some crazy advanced natural language recognition) [22:37] amarcolino: it will be pointle4ss if his portforward is not setup on his router [22:37] ikonia, huh? [22:37] hi! I would like to mount a hdd (sata). I don't know how it's called... is ther something like "lsusb" for hdds? [22:37] nicofs: sudo fdisk -l [22:37] moovida seems nice but I thought mythtv was still the bang! [22:38] msr: mythtv is superb [22:38] msr: sorry [22:38] ikonia, they said windows firewall meaning software based on the os not the actual router unless I am confused [22:38] MatBoy: mythtv is superb [22:38] Ouch! Got SIGABRT, dying.. [22:38] ikonia: yes I know, but why better than the rest [22:38] amarcolino scroll up he's not got port forwarding on his router, he set it up using windows, not windows firewall [22:39] When I run aptitude and select minesweeper it says: Ouch! Got SIGABRT, dying.. [22:39] ShaiTan is the name of my dog (Lol)... [22:39] ikonia, sorry, didn't read that just saw the last message [22:39] amarcolino: it's not a problem, just didn't want him wasting his time if he's not got the basics setup [22:40] Bobshayd: Ethernet drivers rarely fail with linux, so it's probably a configuration problem. Beyond that there's not enough information to really give anything more in the way of advice. [22:40] ikonia, no problem [22:40] Okay, ufw. was able to bring the firewall down through it earlier. Can it also be used to make exceptions (without disabling the firewall). Any links on how to? Thnx... [22:40] ikonia, ubuntu 10.10 (netbook edition) is not recognizing my wifi card. Can you be of assistance? [22:41] Somelauw, the abort signal? weird [22:41] just about to take a break, I can help when I'm back [22:41] Jordan_U: Ah, that could be. Um ... what sort of things should I investigate to give me and anyone else I talk to a better idea? /var/logs/dpkg.log? anything else in particular? [22:41] mst, yes it aborts and prints that to stderr [22:42] ikonia: thank you [22:42] is there a way in xchat to isolate a particular users comment without having to keep scrolling to find every instance [22:42] Somelauw, your machine is fucked. SIGABRT is used when an assert fails in the underying libraries, if wikipedia is to be belived [22:42] msr: control your language [22:42] Somelauw, like libc [22:43] is virtualbox installed on ubuntu live by default? [22:43] ikonia, control your rudeness [22:43] 444444444444/ab msr [22:43] abortici1e: Nope [22:43] msr: watch out he's a moderator, he can ban you [22:43] i use ubuntu 10.04, and those flash pages that need access to the microphone and webcam only show "linux microphone" and that is not working [22:43] any ideas?

[22:45] I have downloaded the daily build iso but its installation seems to be like of debian. Now I don't want to mess up with boot of my system. I am currently on ubuntu-maverick netbook edition. Can any body guide me how I can use the pool/ folder to upgrade my system [22:45] abortici1e, use the software-center or synaptic [22:45] Ugh. Getting a headache with this firewall thing, now. Sorry, come back later when I have read up a bit more on it. Thnx... [22:45] * amarcolino think people are touchy yet in need of help [22:45] MagicJ: have a look at Sound & Video -> Sound Recorder ? [22:45] abortici1e: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.2.10/VirtualBox-3.2.10-66523-Win.exe [22:46] ty - now I have choices - which is better [22:46] atroxes: abortici1e That's for windows isnt' it? [22:46] how can I see the UUID of a partition/disk to add it into fstab? [22:46] Hello sorry i got disconected, I might missed answer basically windows keep opening hundreds of them when i login, (late version beta) tanks [22:46] MagicJ, better is hard to define [22:47] ubuntu 10.10(netbook edition) is not recognizing my wireless card. What should I do? [22:47] lol - how about simpler since this is a one time issue [22:47] Bobshayd: Whatever it is will probably be fairly apparent once you have access to the machine. Issues with ethernet connections just don't tend to be very hard to diagnose, and it really isn't worth trying to "prepare" for. Just go home, and on the off chance it isn't obvious come back here. [22:47] preston , how do you knowq its not recognizing ? [22:47] !fstab | nicofs [22:47] nicofs: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [22:48] because it will only hook up to the ethernet [22:48] nicofs: use sudo blkid [22:48] robin0800: doesn't return anything [22:48] nicofs: sudo blkid [22:48] thevishy, it just does not recognize it. I cant seem to get it to work === leon is now known as Guest35547 [22:49] atroxes: no, this is ubuntu, not windows [22:49] does it work fine in other OS you have preston [22:49] that doesn't make any sense at atll [22:49] Diamondcite: Sorry http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads theres the linux deb/rpm's [22:49] nicofs: Are you sure you used "sudo"? [22:49] Hi: when i login to ubuntu been using it for long time (just installed many cd burner sofware from the update area) and now I get flooded out with hundreds of windows openingin the task bar. I searched internet high and low for this problem, does anyone had it or am i blowing in the wind, please to help if u knew it, thank you. bye [22:49] abortici1e http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [22:49] alzie: can't i just apt-get it?

[22:53] Hello. I'm having a issue with vmbuilder under lucid. When trying to build a lucid vm, no matter if using archive.ubuntu.com or iso option, vmbuilder always fails to install grub. It says ['chroot', '/tmp/tmpa5EOR4', 'apt-get', '--force-yes', '-y', 'install', 'grub'] Package grub not found. Is not the https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/610652 bug.

[22:54] preston, oh . so its not coming under the default drivers ? [22:55] svchost: put it from vbox to your hard drive [22:55] you have no propreitary drivers in use . you have to download it then right ? [22:55] Jordan_U: so i can try to change that line in the /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/VMBuilder/plugins/ubuntu/dapper.py [22:55] thevishy, yes thats why it seems like it wont recognize my wifi card, am I right?

[23:40] ikonia: there's gotta be a way [23:40] ikonia: you need rootfs and initramfs, and not much else [23:40] aborticide: no there hasn't [23:40] ikonia: you don't need an OS [23:40] aborticide: there is no OS to hold the condiguration files to tell it how to boot [23:40] you need the barebones precursor [23:41] aborticide: at a super highlevel you don't need an OS, but that won't really prove anything or test anthing as it won't complete the boot cycle === oracle_ is now known as oracle [23:41] Has Gwibber just died or what? Was fine on 10.04 but ever since 10.10 it's been completely useless. [23:41] aborticide: you won't really get beyond the first pass as there is no rootfs [23:41] sb, mpd is another thing, but do not know how it run on windows [23:42] Ghosty...error message was, "E:Couldn't configure pre-depend jre for openoffice.org-writer2latex, probably a dependency cycle." [23:42] hopeless8009 - can you not download the ISO from Ubuntu website and make a boot USB using 'Startup Disc Creator' ? [23:42] ikonia: yes it will [23:42] ikonia: you're incorrect [23:42] aborticide: good luck then, because I'm not [23:42] ikonia: most of the OS stuff is on the root partition [23:42] ke1, why are you telling me this [23:42] ikonia: installing an OS gives me 99% of what i don't need it [23:43] Tommo: I have the ISO but i dont know how to make a boot USB out of it [23:43] ikonia: i just need to see if the kernel will not say "cannot mount root FS or unknown block (8,49), tried ext2/3 ntfs, etc ." [23:43] aborticide: yes, it is, then good luck as this is no longer an ubuntu issue [23:43] Ghosty...sorry, guess you were talking to someone else [23:43] Oh you mean installing vbox in ubuntu is not an ubuntu issue? [23:43] LOL [23:43] aborticide: you've been told how to instal vbox under ubuntu [23:43] i guess this functionality doesn't come 'out-of-the-box' like other great tools such as 'ls' and 'mkdir' [23:43] aborticide: you already have it installed [23:44] Hi. I upgraded to 10.10 the weekend it came out, and since then there's quite a few things that haven't worked 100%. [23:44] ikonia: its giving errors [23:44] aborticide: no it's not, the front end is [23:44] aborticide: you don't have to use the front end, [23:44] hopeless8009: Do you have a version of Ubuntu on your system already? If so go System > Administration > Startup Disc Creator [23:44] Anything from my wireless dongle doesn't work on the newest kernel, to it sometimes thinks my mouse has double clicked [23:44] shcherbak: Hrm, it seems I would need to run mpd with cigwin under windows [23:45] Tommo ok i did that [23:45] hey, i get this when i use aireplay-ng : - mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 1 - can i change the channel there ? please help [23:45] Is there an easy way to re-install it without downloading huge quantities again? [23:45] me = newb. I have a dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu 10.04 machine. How can I access the files on the Win7 partition through Ubuntu? [23:46] I've found that i need to run "xset -dpms" upon login - in what file should I put this command to have it run automatically? Or is there another way to do that [23:46] Ed_Money: how did you install? [23:46] I'll try again...HELP!...get error message (using update manager) trying to update to 10.04LTS from 8.04 hardy heron...any suggestions? [23:46] strangely enough what is the different between cat /foobar | less compared to less /foobar [23:46] ActionParsnip: with a cd... [23:47] ke1: suggestion: use a pastebin and show us the error [23:47] hopeless8009: OK, you would need to reboot the computer with the USB in. When you get to CMOS screen (first screen) press F12, ESC, etc to change boot order to USB. [23:47] hello i am trying to download ubuntu 8.04 but transmission is giving me an error that "the torrent isent authorized for this tracker" any on know how to solve this. === GoHawks is now known as GoHawks|NoJustNo [23:47] Here's the error message: E:Couldn't configure pre-depend jre for openoffice.org-writer2latex, probably a dependency cycle [23:48] ke1 are you using all the repositories [23:49] Ed_Money, goto Places >> Computer and double click Your Harddrive icon [23:49] Tommo ok thinks for your help [23:49] Hey all. I'm installing Ubuntu. Now it's at "ready when you are" with no buttons to press to show that I am, indeed, ready. [23:50] hopeless8009: good luck. [23:50] The forward button is grayed out. What do I do now? [23:50] hi. hard disc operations are getting increasingly slower and sometimes the system hangs for several seconds as it tries to write/read something to/from the hard disk. how can I figure out what the problem is? [23:51] acyc, type free check if the RAM is good [23:51] mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 1 - anybody knows how to fix this ? [23:51] anyway to make sure I can get my laptop monitor to turn off after a certian time frame of no use, I have set it to blank screen in power management but nothing happens [23:51] acyc, most cases high processing or ram are the problem === istok_ is now known as chmod [23:52] Can anyone help me with my problem? [23:53] thevishy: I have 8 GB of RAM, system monitor says only 20% are used. however, "free" shows this: http://pastebin.ca/1971327 [23:53] wedwo- that was easy. thanks mate [23:53] Ed_Money, yw [23:53] hi, is there any way the prepacked liveUSBcreator can be used to create a space bigger than 4 Gio on a live USB (16 Gio) ? or would a "full install" be the only way to have that ? [23:53] thevishy: why does it show that only few mb are left, while system monitor indicates that I have 80% left. [23:54] I just made a location launcher on my desktop, pointing to the root of my drive. now I want to change it's icon to the "hard drive" icon, and to do this I need to know where that icon is. anyone know? [23:54] Aw man. It hates the fact that I have capitals in my username, and didn't give any hint like other distros and previous versions did... That sucks. Anyway, fixed now. [23:54] the second line is correct , it says you have 6 GB free . So it doesnt seem to be RAM [23:54] Dekker3D: report it [23:54] how much is your processor ? [23:54] thevishy: $30 [23:55] thevishy: quad core with each core having 3 GHz [23:55] is it overloaded [23:55] thevishy: and it's mostly simple file copying where it hangs. and I can't see if it's overloaded since almost every window turns grey. [23:55] I'm thinking about reporting it, lahwran. Where should I do that? [23:55] thevishy: could it be that the hard drive is failing? [23:56] did you have the problem with other OS you installed ? [23:56] I haven't installed another OS. [23:56] !bugs | Dekker3D [23:56] Dekker3D: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [23:56] Ok, in Transmission, "open folder" opens up the movie player aswell. Where could I find the configuration files for this? It's driving me nuts : | [23:56] i'm shrinking a fat32 partition in GPARTED. It is taking forever. Is it actually moving the file data around? [23:56] sms_: #transmission might be of more help [23:56] andai: DO NOT STOP IT!!! [23:56] that is possible , you can do a fsck [23:56] Ah. And what package should I refer to? Itś in the installer [23:56] Dekker3D: ubiquity [23:56] lahwran: Yeah, i know better than that. But wtf is it doing to my files? :P [23:56] Alright [23:57] do i have to install 64bit ubuntu if my laptop has an AMD64 x2 processor? [23:57] andai: yes, it's basically defragging it so it all fits in the size it's going to resize it to [23:57] ahh thought so. thanks :P [23:57] Will do when it's rebooted [23:57] acyc, nah, because the places menu opens up the movie player instead of the folder too [23:57] usually i have faced this problem coz of RAM or Processor overload . otherwise the machine has been fine [23:57] lahwran: Although... it's a flashdisk... so it shouldn't be fragmented to begin with [23:57] basix-: no, but i would. [23:57] lol [23:57] andai: heh, that's not how it works., [23:57] thevishy: I see. [23:57] hi [23:57] basix- no you do not, but there are not many issues with 64 so I'd go with it [23:57] thevishy: fsck warns me that I cannot run it because it'd cause serious damage!? [23:57] cast, when i try to boot the installer usb it gives me an error vesamenu.32: not a COM32R image [23:57] i'm new to ubuntu and my wireless is so slow on my netbook :l help please [23:58] !fsck [23:58] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [23:58] Also, can I make "dead keys" smarter? I want it to give " on "+space, ë on "+e and "k on "+k [23:58] andai: join #ubuntu-offtopic - I wanna tell you about fragmentation :) [23:58] basix-: dunno what that means, can you do a text mode install? [23:58] basix-: oh...i'm not in#debian, nvm :) [23:58] The dead keys are one of my pet peeves about Linux. They never work the way I want them to. [23:58] cast: O.o [23:59] acyc, ok then dont do it . just keep a terminal open and tail -f /var/log/messages - this log is the system log and you can get lots of information there. [23:59] Dekker3D: dead keys? [23:59] help i have slow wireless speed on ubuntu netbook edition 10.10 please [23:59] I'm new to ubuntu. I just need help running the game minecraft, it says on the website to run it with java. I have downloaded the file from the website for linux and cannot get it to run. Pleases help [23:59] dunno if i can im going to research the error i think maybe the copy to the usb drive may have been faulty [23:59] .... Daaaaamn. Ubuntu's rebooted already. SSD and Linux are nice. [23:59] thevishy: thanks [23:59] you can try posting in forums they mighjt know what the error means [23:59] lahwran: Dead keys makes it so that the " button waits for your next key input === GoHawks|NoJustNo is now known as Pilif12p [23:59] help i have slow wireless on ubuntu 10.10 [23:59] Sorry bout the name [23:59] as far as I can see dead keys are either dead or always active. the behaviour for ^ like the first press will use it as a dead key while the second double prints it seems not implemented [23:59] will get a unique one.
