[00:00] Has anyone managed to get Boxee working on 10.10? when i run the .deb, i get an error 'dependancy not satisfiable: libdirect' ... [00:01] sudo service ssh restart [00:01] restart: Unknown instance: [00:01] Tom1: No, you want to install grub2 directly. [00:01] nightwalk: ok, it progressed but every option just takes really long to load, scanning disk is now scanning for 1 min too [00:01] sshd [00:01] so just say no to the chainload? [00:01] hi [00:01] nightwalk: nothing unusual at dmesg too [00:01] sudo service sshd restart [00:01] sshd: unrecognized service [00:02] any one here know how to use PXE boot with ubuntu [00:02] anygivenname: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [00:02] anygivenname: I've not got an ubuntu box here so work with me [00:02] i am running ubuntu livecd, my hdd is not being detected but i am able to run ubuntu from livecd. is it running completely off RAM? [00:02] edbian: Great! [00:02] done [00:02] anygivenname: test it [00:02] earthshade, ? [00:02] Tom1: Yes. [00:03] edbian: Replying to you from awhile ago [00:03] earthshade, oh, ha. I don't remember. Ur welcome? [00:03] newuser: yes, the LiveCD runs from RAM [00:03] edbian: Lol nvm [00:03] (and if you have a Linux SWAP partition, it uses it too) [00:03] what kind of speeds should i expect transferring files over my network w/ ubuntu using an intel 5100 card in my thinkpad? i'm getting like 1.5mb/sec :/ [00:04] i am running ubuntu livecd, my hdd is not being detected but i am able to run ubuntu from livecd. is it running completely off RAM? [00:04] this is on a 5ghz connection [00:04] Why does facebook chat under messaging and voip accounts say authentication failed [00:04] could anyone please help me with Simple Backup Suite? it will start backing up then stop 2 seconds later, also, the "scheduling" tab is grayed out. [00:04] hooked into my ethernet i'm getting about 33mb/sec [00:05] hey i am running ubuntu livecd, my hdd is not being detected but i am able to run ubuntu from livecd. is it running completely off RAM? [00:05] newuser: Yes. [00:05] oh thnx [00:05] newuser, yep [00:05] [19:03] newuser: yes, the LiveCD runs from RAM [00:05] hiho: might try testing booting the installer with noapic, nolapic, &/or noacpi. (though you shouldn't run a newly installed system with those options without good reason!) [00:06] Jordan_U: it doesn't look like that tutorial says anything about update-grub though? [00:06] hiho: also, make sure you check the other logs for any indications of what's wrong. [00:06] njoy l8, gonna fix my 64bit flash hula vid issue [00:06] i reached 10 attempts & still giving me more & auth.log did not log any of them [00:06] ozzloy: stop asking - you've been told [00:06] I've installed ubuntu-desktop without the recommends, and later I've installed indicator-session, indicator-sound, indicator-application and network-manager-gnome. What else do I need to get the network icon on the tray? [00:07] So if boot from LiveUSB and install something will the prgram still be there next time i boot? or if i boot a diff comp? [00:07] Tom1: update-grub is Ubuntu/Debian specific, but all it does is run "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg", which that tutorial has you do directly. [00:07] damm i'm impressed by how long you put up with him, ikonia [00:07] oh okay, sorry, i'm pretty clueless about all of this [00:07] could anyone please help me with Simple Backup Suite? it will start backing up then stop 2 seconds later, also, the "scheduling" tab is grayed out. [00:07] alt + f2 nm-applet [00:07] Tom1: Running update-grub will have the same effect, and you can do that instead if you want to. [00:07] nm-applet is already running on my system, but it doesn't display on the tray [00:07] edbian: So if boot from LiveUSB and install something will the prgram still be there next time i boot? or if i boot a diff comp? [00:08] the volume icon does appear, though [00:08] newuser, liveusb persists [00:08] edbian: thnx a lot :) [00:09] IF I have Ubuntu on 1 HDD and Windows on a separate HD with the win boot loader on the same HD as windows, will grub see it and offer it as a boot choice? [00:09] do you perform a alternate Install of ubuntu? [00:09] newuser: It depends on how you setup the live USB. If you setup "persistence" then yes, if not then no. [00:09] edbian: where would persist er, persist, on the USB itself? === Pilif12p|afk is now known as Pilif12p [00:09] she_dyed, yeah [00:09] newuser, no problem [00:09] edbian: ah ok [00:09] IdleOne: Yes. [00:09] IdleOne, I believe it does [00:09] edbian: thanks too, been wondering about that [00:09] nightwalk, I still cant make it work :))) [00:09] could anyone please help me with Simple Backup Suite? it will start backing up then stop 2 seconds later, also, the "scheduling" tab is grayed out. [00:09] thank you Jordan_Uand edbian [00:09] does anyone know how to get boxee working in 10.10 x64 ??? [00:09] IdleOne: You're welcome.

[00:11] but over ethernet from my mac to my thinkpad hooked up ethernet i'll get like 33mb/sec [00:11] Jordan_Ujust to be clear I have Ubuntu on HDD1 as master (no other OS installed), Windows is on HDD2. I boot and grub will see that there is a windows install on the second HD? [00:11] (I'm just installing ubuntu on a virtual machine before definitively installing on my HD) [00:11] have you install Gnome-core? [00:11] IdleOne, I believe so yes. [00:12] okie dokie, thanks :) [00:12] my router is a wndr3700 for whatever it's worth [00:12] IdleOne, If it doesn't you can configure it [00:12] last update killed my samba and apache - Help!!! [00:12] Can anyone help me? Facebook chat authentication failure [00:12] IdleOne: Yes (you'll need to run "sudo update-grub" after adding the windows drive though). [00:12] hi can someone help me i can't format my computer anymore, everytime i try to format with windows vista on bootup i keep getting grubrecover command line [00:12] Felip0n: nope, but all its dependencies are already installed [00:12] hi can someone help me i can't format my computer anymore, everytime i try to format with windows vista on bootup i keep getting grubrecover command line i have tried to purge grub but the same thing happens [00:12] zatan: make sure dbus is running, and make sure you accept when skype dialog pops up and asks if pidgin should be allowed access to the skype api [00:12] Jordan_U ok thanks. :) [00:13] fnordz: ignore me. i didn't know it was wireless. wireless is constantly giving me strange issues. i don't like it [00:13] IdleOne: You're welcome. [00:13] !patience | dev00 [00:13] Jordan_U: After completing the tutorial I have the same issue...ubuntu 10.04 is still the only linux installation on the menu [00:13] dev00: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:13] <_jesse_> dev00: you are trying to boot from the windows disk? [00:13] how can I make Ubuntu ask for the password for an encrypted partition during boot? [00:13] Tom1: Do you have more than one hard drive? [00:13] nightwalk, I did that, but it means i Need to run skype and pidgin at once [00:13] no windows is installed on my harddrive [00:13] Gnome-core it's very ligh much more than ubuntu-desktop. But if you want a light desktop you have to install lxde-base [00:13] I edited /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab correctly but it doesn't work. [00:13] its the only thing on there [00:13] Jordan_U: no, I only have one [00:14] dev00: If you don't mind losing what you have on it now, something like 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=1k count=512' should do the trick [00:14] when i boot it gives me invalid partition error and the recovergrub command line [00:14] Tom1: Could you run boot info script as explaine here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ? [00:14] yeh i dont mind [00:14] Felip0n: actually, I wanted my gnome desktop, but without some apps I won't be using, such as gwibber, ubuntu one, empathy, rhythmbox... [00:14] dev/sda1 is my hdd nightwalk [00:15] nightwalk: dev00: That would need to be of=/dev/sda, not /dev/sda1. [00:15] dev00: actually, I goofed. it'd be sda in the command above [00:15] I am using virtualbox on a corei5 processor. Should I type in 2 or 4 cores? [00:15] ok you lost me [00:15] dev00: you could also try running the windows recovery console, and do fixmbr or fixboot. That's off topic here, though [00:15] no good [00:15] i tried that [00:16] the recovery console doesnt load [00:16] could anyone please help me with Simple Backup Suite? it will start backing up then stop 2 seconds later, also, the "scheduling" tab is grayed out. [00:16] Jordan_U: Okay, should I just install it in the live session? [00:16] Tom1: Yes. [00:16] pentester, depends on how much of your systems resources you want to provide to the virtual machine [00:16] nightwalk do i have to specify anything else like drive size in 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=1k count=512 [00:17] dev00: 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1k count=512' basically zeros out the first 512k of your HD. That'd include the mbr, partition table, etc. The mbr is what we're trying to erase here, btw [00:17] HI, i am using 10.10 maverick Desktop i386, uname -r shows 2.6.32-25-generic, but when i am installing apt-get -y install linux-headers-2.6.32-25-generic, so it says linux-headers-2.6.32-25-generic, could be found, Solution??

[00:17] sarthor, do you mean linux-headers-2.6.32.-25-generic could NOT be found? [00:18] why is this channel always so busy/laggy [00:18] seidos, yes [00:18] Jordan_U: ok so I added the second HD and booted but it went straight to windows. I had to unplug it to get Ubuntu to boot. now what? [00:18] could anyone please help me with Simple Backup Suite? it will start backing up then stop 2 seconds later, also, the "scheduling" tab is grayed out. [00:18] sarthor, don't know presently. but if you ask again you might want to make it clear that it is not found. [00:19] IdleOne: Either change the boot order in your BIOS or install grub to the mbr of the drive with windows (though the latter will mean that you will only be able to boot windows with *both* drives in the computer). === room is now known as clean [00:19] seidos, E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-2.6.32-25-generic [00:19] E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-2.6.32-25-generic' [00:20] Jordan_U: installing grub will will also avoid me having to open up the case every time I need to boot windows.

[00:22] anyone else* [00:22] cousteau, but i upgraded the distro, and then why uname -r shows this [00:23] 2.6.35-22, actually [00:23] while lsb-release shows maverick [00:23] sarthor: have you rebooted since you upgraded? [00:23] with a new kernel, do binaries typically have to be recompiled? [00:23] hi! how can i change the firewall settings, so that port 80 is blocked? [00:23] seidos: No. [00:24] cousteau, yes. i upgraded 3 or 4 days before, i rebooted several times. [00:24] i am trying to get the n52te pad to work, but no matter what i do, it is always set to the default mapping. what should i do?

[00:25] i think i am not using custom grub, How to check, [00:25] chris_osx: usually this is an apache config , what do you mean, localhost ? [00:25] Hi! I've added a VPN connection with network manager, and have connected to it. But firefox doesn't use that connection. How do I force that? === Pilif12p|afk is now known as Pilif12p [00:26] hi there, i have a question, i got a distro backtrack4 and i have to copy some files from a pro xd card (a memory card from a camera ) and i have no idea about getting files from this distro, (even burn a dvd its a mistery to me xD ) so, somebody can give me an advice about taking this files off? [00:26] chris_osx: there is a direction 'listen' in config file of apache, usually called httpd.conf [00:26] Tom1: It looks like you never did the grub-install part of the guide. [00:26] destr0: mount the CD [00:26] (sorry if my english goes bad) [00:26] the image, I mean [00:26] destr0: I don't think ubuntu's channel covers that.. but try to see if you can mount a USB drive atleast? (This will have to be done manually ofcourse) [00:26] if you're on ubuntu, just double-clicking the image should do [00:27] yeap, sorry but i done a white n00b hack question in backtrack channel and i get banned :P [00:27] hey I'm wondering if somebody can help me run fsck from a live cd? I'm getting "fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1 Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?" [00:27] but tis not mounted? [00:27] ...did you mean getting files from the CD or while booting with the CD? [00:27] i am trying to get the n52te pad to work, but no matter what i do, it is always set to the default mapping. what should i do? [00:27] Jordan_U: i did the apt-install command but maybe i messed something up [00:28] Tom1: Did you run "grub-install" ? [00:28] kewley: unmount it forst [00:28] first [00:28] Hi! I've added a VPN connection with network manager, and have connected to it. But firefox doesn't use that connection. How do I force that? [00:29] if it appears in the desktop, right-click it and select "Unmount" [00:29] nono, sorry , i mean: i have to get that files from a MEMORY CARD inserted in my notebook, (i dont know if i get the drivers ok, but... i presume its alright ) and i want to burn that files into a dvd- [00:29] my question is: how i can get that files from that memory card :D [00:29] Jordan_U: yes, it popped up the blue screen about chain loading, etc. [00:29] sorry , im so fckn n00b :P [00:29] thanks for the reply "root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# umount /dev/sda1 umount: /dev/sda1: not mounted" still doesnt want to work, not sure why? [00:29] i am trying to get the n52te pad to work, but no matter what i do, it is always set to the default mapping. what should i do? [00:29] Jordan_U: I can try the tutorial again to double-check? [00:29] Tom1: grub-install doesn't pop up any blue screens. Follow the guide again but this time be sure to finish all the steps. [00:30] destr0: open the file browser, go to Places or Computer or something, select the card... [00:30] cousteau: yes im using alsa [00:30] what's the best channel for talking about the linux-headers package? [00:30] cousteau: using sound preferences (pulseaudio) i can control theme sounds volume [00:30] I think I found a bug, but wanna make sure I'm not barking up the stoopid tree... [00:30] Jordan_U: okay, i'll try again...sorry and thank you for your patience [00:30] rbellamy: ##linux [00:30] could anyone please help me with Simple Backup Suite? it will start backing up then stop 2 seconds later, also, the "scheduling" tab is grayed out.

[00:30] Tom1: Np, and you're welcome :) [00:31] How can I restart Nautilus? [00:32] yeah, cousteau but, i cant find that "places" or some place that says "hey here is the card " x_X [00:32] killall nautilus; nautilus [00:32] sudo restart nautilus?

I tried messing with ndiswrapper and now lshw says my adaptor is 'unclaimed' [00:32] uLinux: nautilus -q [00:32] i'm not really sure if i needed to remove my old drivers from ubuntu before putting in the intel 5100 [00:32] destr0: the problem is that since I don't use backtrack I can't help you much with that [00:32] don't really know how to either [00:32] uLinux: no sudo needed [00:33] ITs opening hunddreds ot fabs lool [00:33] tabs [00:33] destr0: I had some problems with an xD card in my netbook, had to enable some lines on the grub [00:33] but it is similar to ubuntu, all the people that i asked for bt4 told me that. [00:33] I hate emoticons. [00:33] :P just killed nautilus [00:33] Jordan_U: using apt-get install....I get some errors: removing fglrx...dpkg-divert: mismatch on package [00:33] errors were encountered while processing: fglrx [00:33] is that bad?

Just continue on to the next step of the guide and we will come back to fix the fglrx problem later. [00:34] okay [00:35] when i do grub-install it says "the program 'grub-install' can be found in the following packages: [00:35] hey guys maybe i have to start with a more simple question: how i install drivers for my pro XD memory card. ( i assume if i cant find it , it isn't installed ) [00:35] could anyone please help me with Simple Backup Suite? it will start backing up then stop 2 seconds later, also, the "scheduling" tab is grayed out.

I tried messing with ndiswrapper and now lshw says my adaptor is 'unclaimed' [00:36] ok, then do sudo gedit /etc/defaults/grub [00:36] Jordan_U: though i did apt-get install grub-pc in the previous step [00:36] !gksudo | cousteau [00:36] cousteau: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [00:36] ok typing. [00:37] destr0: sorry, better use gksudo [00:37] command not found [00:37] (my fault, sorry) [00:37] ok, thanks :) [00:37] thats better [00:37] Tom1: Run "apt-get -f install" ant pastebin the output. [00:38] hello any one know why the .1 update appears on all ubuntu distribution? what does it do? [00:38] it doesn't work :/ [00:38] anthon: lucid 10.04.1? it's like a "service pack" [00:39] Hi. I updated to maverick and I have no lfe-channel on audigy 4 now. is anybody know how to fix that? [00:39] actually, it means that if you download the CD, it will be more up to date than the old 10.04 one [00:39] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/519451/ here it is [00:40] So im trying to play a topgear DVD .. and its spinning up and everything is just fine .. till i try and play it .. it simply says an error occurred ... no numbers or anything else ..wont open up in VLC or "movie player" [00:40] destr0: then figure out what text editors does backtrack have, and type gksudo /etc/defaults/grub [00:40] cousteau okay. okay thats good. do know what it does? does it disable features? or in any way changing the system? [00:41] sorry... /etc/default/grub (without the "s") [00:41] Tom1: Type yes then enter, then pastebin the rest of the output. [00:41] ok thanks ill get that information and i come back here. [00:41] thanks anyway [00:41] anthon: it's just more updated [00:41] (maybe its better to run BT4 in a VM with ubuntu for OS) [00:42] cousteau: okay. do you know any where i can read about this update perhaps? [00:42] Jordan_U: this is all of it (repeating what i pasted before as well) http://paste.ubuntu.com/519452/ === Pinna is now known as Georgia [00:42] anthon: There is no single ".1" update. The .1 release simply means that they decided to make a new CD image will all of the updates up to that point in time. [00:43] jorda_u: okay. cool. === Georgia is now known as Rinne [00:43] I want to change permissions on a folder, but the dialog doesn't let me. [00:43] Tom1: Try "sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx" [00:43] I try to change the group from "plugdev" to "users" and it doesn't let me === Rinne is now known as Pinna [00:44] it also doesn't let me change the permission value for "others" [00:44] Any ideas? === Pinna is now known as Banne === Banne is now known as Pinna [00:44] (This is running nautilus as root btw) [00:44] Tom1: It looks like your upgrade didn't work completely as xorg-driver-fglrx is only a virtual package in Ubuntu 10.10 [00:45] join #paparazzi [00:45] #help [00:45] info [00:46] Jordan_U: here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/519453/ [00:46] so it should not be on my system anymore if the upgrade worked? [00:46] Why doesn't this work sudo apt-get install libgtk-2.0? [00:47] Hilbert: apt-cache policy libgtk-2.0 [00:47] is it installed? [00:48] Hilbert: "doesn't work"? [00:50] nm just fixed it with the drive's umask [00:51] right now, i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and my internet seems really slow, basically dns lookup takes forever and a week before it gets a lookup on the ip address [00:51] i turned off one of my internet devices to see if that was the culprit and still slow as molasis, but once it gets the dns lookup it's fast to d/l [00:52] disable ipv6 [00:52] DrManhattan: i already tried doing that. [00:52] c0mpub0mb use different dns server [00:52] Tom1: I'm not sure exactly what's happened. I didn't realize that a package could leave a dpkg-diversion behind after being removed. [00:52] hmm... [00:53] nevermind. I just fixed 5.1 sound. The cause was a pulseaudio that rise from ashes wirh update to maverick and crashed my audio setup. [00:53] Tom1: I need to leave for a few hours, how much longer are you going to be here? [00:53] c0mpub0mb, it might not be completely disabled yet - do an lsmod and see if ipv6 is in there [00:53] Jordan_U: okay, are there options other than complete reinstall of 10.10? i'd like to keep the software I have installed if possible (mostly a copy of matlab that i don't have the disc for anymore) [00:54] I need to leave, too, but can be back later if you will be back [00:54] Tom1: Are you booted from an Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD? [00:54] Jordan_U: Yes [00:55] (I'm chatting from my laptop on 10.04) but am using a live 10.10 LiveCD on my desktop that you've been helping me with [00:55] Tom1: Ok, then there is another way to hopefully at least get you booting again. Can you pastebin the output of "mount" from a new terminal (not the one that you ran chroot in)? [00:56] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/519457/ here it is [00:57] how can I get my wireless back to the way it was when I installed 10.10? I tried messing with ndiswrapper and now lshw says my adaptor is 'unclaimed' [00:57] hi everyone! can you please tell me how to list only the files (not dirs) in a directory. it need to be printed in a file [00:58] brama_: find . -maxdepth 1 -type f [00:59] DrManhattan: i just updated my DNS server with opendns and man it is fast. [00:59] i was using RR dns and it was fricken horrible! [00:59] :'( [00:59] Tom1: From the same terminal you ran mount in run "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda" [00:59] every url call took like 10-15 seconds to resolve. [00:59] COOL! How can i get it without ./ ? [00:59] they have some major dns issues at RoadRunner [01:00] tommis: i think that was mean't for you. [01:00] Jordan_U: "installation finished. No error reported." [01:00] c0mpub0mb what wasn't? [01:00] Tom1: Good. Try rebooting. [01:00] hello [01:01] ^^ [01:01] hello [01:01] anyways.. tommis good idea, i changed the dns server and it fixed my problems [01:01] i originally disabled the ipv6 stuff and that didn't seem to help [01:01] Jordan_U: okay, no i have many, many boot options [01:01] i am trying to get the n52te pad to work, but no matter what i do, it is always set to the default mapping. what should i do? [01:01] sorry to bother you guys, but does anyone have any experience in openqrm 4.7? [01:02] is linux 2.6.35-22 10.10? [01:02] WHat does it mean when backend is using 50% cpu? amaranth [01:02] Tom1 yep [01:02] icekk: That you have some program named 'backend' using an entire core [01:02] find . -maxdepth 1 -type f will do! Thank you very much! [01:03] lol what is backend? something ubuntu needs/ [01:03] icekk, the front end is the gui. the back-end does the work [01:03] Hey, how do I update gtk [01:04] Jordan_U: i tried to use "linux 2.6.35-22 generic" and it scrolled a lot of output on the screen and then the display went out [01:04] edbian why is backend using 50% all the time? [01:04] For the drop down menu from the little envelope in the top right corner, is there any sort of notification that appear when there is a new email? [01:04] icekk, That's ur problem to figure out :) [01:04] icekk, Perhaps it's doing something that's hard? [01:05] Im trying to make LVM images but i cannot see them mounted as stated on the documentation [01:06] Tom1: Sorry, I have to go. I will be back later today as long as my power doesn't go out (bad storms locally). [01:06] Jordan_U: no problem, thank you very much...any idea when you'll be back? [01:06] Can I connect a windows and an ubuntu machine together such that the ubuntu machine can see the windows machine's smb shares? I'm doing a backup of ~40GB and 400kB/s is pushing it [01:07] yes [01:07] oops [01:07] samba [01:07] hi,I got "gpgv: Signature made Sun 07 Mar 2010 07:58:00 AM CST using RSA key ID 140C6664 gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found " [01:07] http://code.bulix.org/nxtkiw-78548 [01:07] Stormx2: go to Places > Network, I think [01:07] i am trying to get the n52te pad to work, but no matter what i do, it is always set to the default mapping. what should i do? [01:07] newuser, yeah I'm currently using samba. I mean via a direct ethernet connection rather than thru a hub. [01:07] could someone shoot me a link to get me started with samba? [01:08] tortoise: google "ubuntu documentation samba" [01:08] stormx2: even thru direct connection each comp will be assigned an ip rite? [01:08] just use that ip for looking into the share [01:08] newuser, you tell me. I assume the ubuntu machine will act as a DHCP server [01:09] o.k.. this is a newbie question.... i just successfully built a package with "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc" .... now what is the proper invocation to install it ? [01:09] !samba | tortoise [01:09] tortoise: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [01:09] Stormx2, 2 winows machine can be connected never tried 1 ubuntu 1 windows [01:09] bfinch, you built a deb package? Just dpkg -i thedeb.deb [01:09] cool [01:09] thanks [01:09] newuser, I'm that windows-to-windows works fine. [01:10] I accidentally the verb [01:10] I'm aware* [01:10] Stormx2, ubuntu - windows is not working? [01:10] Just need to know if I have to mount the lvm volumes manually [01:10] because openqrm does not see my created volumes :( [01:10] Stormx2, atleast windows machine shud act as dhcp [01:11] newuser, if it was I wouldn't be here [01:11] if not ubuntu [01:12] Stormx2, i am a newbie too.... have tried installing dhcp on ubuntu? [01:13] i am trying to get the n52te pad to work, but no matter what i do, it is always set to the default mapping. what should i do? [01:13] For the drop down menu from the little envelope in the top right corner, is there any sort of notification that appear when there is a new email? [01:14] i'm on ubuntu 10.04, is there any guide on how to setup exim to use my domain name to send out email messages ??? or even point me to the correct requirements., i've tried to google but i'm not sure about what do i need exactly to set for my domain name, any comment ? [01:15] earthshade If you configure evolution as mail client I think it comes out of the box, for other clients such as thunderbird you need an add on [01:15] pyro_, what about exim ? [01:16] f00bar80 I don't know about exim [01:17] pyro_: I have evolution configured already [01:17] 'lo all [01:18] ok so ive installed a few different libraries and im still unable to play DVDs ... sound works just fine .. however no video .. 10.04 tried out mplayer .. and VLC media players [01:18] any comment ??? [01:18] i'm *still* having an issue w/ only one core showing in /proc/cpuinfo on my new i5-650 box ... uname, installed kernel packages, etc. all at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604334 [01:18] delinquentme, did you use medibuntu for it or the regular ubuntu repositories? [01:19] regular ones! [01:19] c0mpub0mb, im glad you got that worked out [01:19] how do i use medibuntu? [01:19] so i just did a iwconfig in terminal and it reports my thinkpad as IEEE 802.11abg w/ bitrate of 54mb/sec --- doesn't appear i'm getting wireless n w/ my intel 5100 :/ [01:19] earthshade, mm, I believe it should work. I'm not using evolution right now so I may be wrong [01:19] delinquentme, uninstall 'em and use medibuntu [01:19] My previous Ubuntu installs have all been dual boot, and there was automagically a listing in the boot loader for memtest86. This time, it's th eonly OS on here, and never loads a boot loader menu for me to choose from. How do I then access memtest86? [01:19] hazard - if you use startupmanager you can configure all that [01:19] Stormx2: perhaps it would be easier to just use a quick ssh server on windows... http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/, accessing ssh from ubuntu is a piece of cake. none of that smb hell [01:20] id10t: That's an app? [01:20] pyro_: For chat and broadcast, there is a little arrow next to them, and I receive notifications from them, but there is no little arrow next to mail [01:20] hazard, yeah [01:20] hazard, one option would be to just run memtest86 from a cd: http://www.memtest86.com/download.html [01:21] hazard: or modify /etc/default/grub [01:21] ppl any comment [01:21] hazard, dpkg reports the comment of "Grub, Usplash and Splash screen configuratio" [01:21] earthshade: ok, I am wrong on this then, sorry [01:21] Yo Dudes and Dudettes - whats the default password and username for lubuntu livecd? [01:21] Hello I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 but mplayer won't display anything using -vo vdpau [01:22] gordan_freeman: Normally, that's what I'd have done, but I opted for an extra battery in this laptop, instead of CDROM [01:22] f00bar80: haven't seen your previous post.. [01:22] For the drop down menu from the little envelope in the top right corner, is there any sort of notification that appear when there is a new email? [01:22] hazard: ha! [01:22] DasEi: I feel kind of stupid for not thinking of that. Thanks. [01:22] ok... my problem with the network got fixed by changing the file /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf, replacing a "false" with a "true" [01:22] kinda dirty, but it worked [01:23] DasEi, i'm on ubuntu 10.04, is there any guide on how to setup exim to use my domain name to send out email messages ??? or even point me to the correct requirements., i've tried to google but i'm not sure about what do i need exactly to set for my domain name, any comment ? [01:23] hazard: edit as root, set your desired timeouts for the menu, save, then run : sudo update-grub === dtcummin_away is now known as dtcummin [01:23] sound working, desktop working... ok, I think I'm ready to install on my actual HD [01:23] earthshade: well it seems that it does not work out of the box, may be this will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1466095.html [01:23] earthshade: what version you using? [01:24] f00bar80: I don't use exim, but as a shot in the dark I'd look in /etc/default for it's config [01:24] f00bar80: lucid ? [01:25] shcherbak: 10.04 [01:25] earthshade: and more... do you have any notification? do you have listed number of new mails in mail-applet menu? [01:25] DasEi, yea, the first think i was asking about is my domain, any specific settings or requirements needs to be set ? [01:25] No [01:25] f00bar80: give me a minute , I'll put exim on a vm [01:26] earthshade: but when you start evolution, you can see your mail account in menu? [01:26] DasEi: Figures. It's not a simple grub.1st. It's a grub.d/nn_$x which I don't really grok. [01:26] so i ever have to worry about viruses and stuff with unbuntu [01:26] DasEi want to set the domain firstly to use my dynamic IP i've already got dynDNS , [01:26] f00bar80, very good howtos on setting up a mail server on howtoforge.com - check the "perfect server" set up guides, and if you are wanting to run a domain or two i can strongly recommend ispconfig [01:26] hazard: you use grub2, the default in lucid ? [01:27] shcherbak: Brb ill get back to you [01:28] DasEi: I didn't do anything special during install, so I have to presume so. [01:28] do i ever have to worry about viruses and stuff with unbuntu [01:28] I am having some trouble. My external HD has ubuntu installed. My Mac doesn't like to boot into Ubuntu. USB on the external doesn't work anymore(broke today). How do I boot ubuntu to backup my stuff since Mac can't recognize a ubuntu partition?? [01:28] hello [01:28] im also having trouble [01:29] hazard: so see above to get the menu viewable, you can set the timeout there, then pressing left Ctrl will pop up grub [01:29] Tyler__, can you just download a livecd and burn it and use that on the mac? [01:30] I am installing ubuntu 10.10 64 bit partition and its not acting right I believe, for one the live cd (ive burned more than one) doesn't start Gparted partition editor, it shows that its starting but just stops and dissapeards [01:30] no, I can't. Mac doesn't like to boot ubuntu. Firewire is the only thing that works on that external HD now [01:30] I use 10.10 and java does not render the contents of windows ocasionally. How do I fix this? [01:31] DasEi: I looked for the file you said. /etc/grub/default and /etc/grub/ didn't exist. THere is a grub.d/, but that doesn't have a default in it. [01:31] does anyone have an idea on how to use vdpau with mplayer? [01:32] id10t, installed it and no bones ... still no video [01:32] is anyone here to help?

[01:37] md5sum is a way to check the validity of a downloaded file ... google "ubuntu 10.04 md5 sum" [01:37] and get an app that lets you compare md5 sums [01:37] DasEi,no, nothing happens, it just doesn't load the cd, the box works perfectly [01:37] any good photoediting suggestions.. something around like lines of aperture or lightroom [01:37] matts45acp: there are very few viruses for ubuntu, rather rootkits n backdoors, but for regalry patched system the answer to this is like no [01:38] it gives you a string of characters that verifies the quality and structure of the file you downloaded [01:38] ioannes_no: lucid ?

[01:57] meerkat x64 [01:57] spinningcompass: nothing, only the background image and mouse [01:57] ABGD: udev assigns device names under the /dev fs, amongst other things. it shouldn't be that high tho, not for any noticeable amount of time [01:57] illdecree: yeah you'll probably have to wait untill they release a 10.10 version [01:57] histo: i've seen a lot of links on google about this, and they all refer to a download that is never available when i go for it... odd [01:58] spinningcompass: i tried the no-fail boot but wont work either [01:58] bohemien: Try installing 10.04 instead [01:58] bohemien: ....and wait until 10.10 stabilizes. [01:58] i am trying to get the n52te pad to work, but no matter what i do, it is always set to the default mapping. what should i do? [01:58] illdecree: yeah there only download is for 10.04 that's why you are getting dependancy issues. [01:58] i've tried pystromo [01:58] still it's default [01:58] illdecree: you could try downgrading that package, but I wouldn't. People in #boxee might provide a beta or something [01:59] histo: i'll check that out. Thanks a lot for your help! a noob like me needs it! :-) [01:59] Shauno this happens to me very often... it makes no sense to me [01:59] I'm getting a command not found message when I try to use "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" [01:59] shauno: do you think this is a hardware or software issue? it's a brand new 4 week old system [01:59] I've been having this problem when I'm trying to restart things and I'm not sure why [02:00] ABGD: does it happen constantly? or just when certain devices are added [02:00] shauno: another issue i'm having is my ubuntu system randomly would log off when left idle [02:00] spinningcompass: how can I go back to 10,04% [02:00] shauno: it happens regularly, i never add other hardware devices [02:00] bohemien: (There are other options, of course, but...) Download 10.04; install it; use it. When 10.10 has stabilized, upgrade. [02:00] google isnt helping much [02:01] hi, I'm running debian and I'd like to create an ubuntu install on a pendrive. I don't have liveusb-creator how can I do? [02:01] shauno: i mean right now i have an external HD installed, but it's the first time i've connected it to my system... and this rpbolem was occuring way before [02:01] guys [02:01] i am trying to get the n52te pad to work, but no matter what i do, it is always set to the default mapping. what should i do? [02:01] how come i can't message in #apache? [02:01] says #apache Cannot send message [02:01] says #apache Cannot send message [02:01] spinningcompass: if I install 10.04 would I lose data?

[02:02] kifkif: you may be able to do this via the ubuntu live cd. if it is in fact possible, you would have to google the details. [02:02] spinningcompass: I upgraded from 10.04 [02:02] could anyone tell me what exactly I'm doing wrong here? [02:02] ANYONE know about poss ? [02:02] Guest16623: read the /topic in #apache :) or wait 15 minutes for the bot to announce it [02:03] DasEi, when trying to umount the DVD, I get the message it's busy [02:03] bohemien: So, you're telling me failsafe doesn't work eitiher, yes?

[02:38] SpaceBass: this will tell you if your web server is listening on port 80: `netstat -tap | grep http` [02:38] jemadux, yes i understand this, but i have always had other problems [02:38] jemadux, just things not working correctly [02:38] tortoise: you can also take a look at SSH security which is important http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-bsd-openssh-server-best-practices.html [02:39] sakekasi: You can, but then all of your applications and libraries would still be 32 bit, and individual applications would be limited to a 3 GiG virtual address space. [02:39] I cant even recall the last time i saw a 64bit vs 32bit issue.. [02:39] jemadux, so i found a healthy medium of using 32 bit with pae so i could use all the ram i have [02:39] it worked fine in 10.04 [02:39] gordan_freeman, thanks - it is listening, as is the lighthttp on 8080 [02:39] is there an easy way to tell what soft/hard links a package creates on install? [02:39] jemadux, it worked fine in 10.04 fo rme [02:39] I also have seen reviews/benchmarks that state that a pae system is slower then a actual 64bit system. So i will stick to 64bit for the foreseeable future. [02:39] Dr_Willis: well, foreign apps sometimes , aka Zattoo, but native ubuntu I can't rember, too [02:40] SpaceBass: can you connect to your web server locally? `lynx http://localhost` [02:40] really i just need to know what packages to pick in synaptic [02:40] so, no other ways to get packages onto a disconnected box? :[ [02:40] glitchd: See the guide from ubottu. [02:40] Storlek, download them on a connect machine and transfer them over? [02:40] gordan_freeman, yes - that was one of my first troubleshooting steps...gotta love lynx [02:41] Is there some way to have the default gateway change when I activate a VPN connection? [02:41] SpaceBass: :) [02:41] glitchd: yeah, the download bit is what's getting me. I can't see any way to satisfy dependencies and so on without being on the machine [02:41] tortoise: most irc client have nick completition like bash :) so I type torto and type message [02:41] and going back and forth trying one package, then listing all its unsatisfied dependencies, etc., is really quite tedious [02:41] Storlek, u got me on that one then my friend [02:41] SpaceBass: well `sudo iptables -L` will list any host based firewalls you may have that may be blocking inbound traffic [02:41] Irok: you can set the gateway in /etc/network/interfaces (and restart networking afterwards) [02:41] levi: I see [02:41] Storlek, good luck tho.. [02:41] :) [02:42] is there any way to keep my configurations between ubuntu installs? [02:42] levi: Does that show up in a different color for you? [02:42] hi === Troll is now known as Guest16759 [02:42] DasEi: Yeah, thx... guess that'll work, but I'd want it to change automatically when I use my VPN connection [02:42] I wouldn't mind if there was some script or whatever that just generated a flat list of all dependencies to a package that aren't shipped on the install CD [02:42] gordan_freeman, thanks - I'm better with ps, don't really know my way around iptables [02:42] because that'd answer my question, more or less [02:42] tortoise: its depend on irc client but yes [02:42] levi: okay, thanks [02:42] Storlek: you can download the .deb files and install [02:42] I might end up with more stuff than I'd need, but disk space is cheap ... gasoline isn't :) [02:42] no problem tortoise [02:42] uLinux: ok, how? [02:43] SpaceBass: also check your apache log files as well as /var/log/syslog after restarting the Apache service to see if an error pops up on service start [02:43] Storlek: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [02:43] !offline | Storlek [02:43] Storlek: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD [02:43] jrib: that didn't help last time either [02:43] Storlek: it's the answer to your question, so you have to be more specific [02:43] SpaceBass: well `sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop` will stop any host based firewall rules if you do have any [02:44] jrib: I have been more specific [02:44] jrib: this box has never been online and every package it's aware of isinstalled [02:44] Storlek: I meant you have to be more specific about why !offline did not help you [02:44] jrib: I just told you [02:44] How would I "check the desired packages in Synaptic" if they do not exist [02:45] SpaceBass: `sudo apparmor_status` will allow you to view the current status of AppArmor profiles [02:45] Storlek: !offline does not just suggest synaptic [02:45] jrib: it doesn't have internet connection on the machine [02:45] thank gordan_freeman - the troubleshooting help is much appreciated! [02:45] jrib: yes, aptoncd doesn't help because I don't have ubuntu elsewhere, and that link is useless because itonly goes up to dapper [02:45] Irok:is it openvpn you're using ? [02:46] !laptop [02:46] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [02:46] The window borders in my system keep disappearing. I've installed compiz fusion icon, and clicking that brings it back. Is there a way to stop the borders from disappearing in the first place? [02:46] Storlek: it goes up to intrepid I guess. What are you trying to install? [02:46] or intrepid. I guess I'm reading it backward. (Why no versions?) [02:46] jrib: all sorts of packages from the 'universe' repo. [02:46] Storlek: ljl probably just hasn't updated it recently [02:46] venilsurya: compiz is crashing.. for some reason. You could just stop using compuiz and use metacity instead [02:46] i am running into an KDEInit4 Crash that is preventing me from completely booting into KDE, Can anyone help me fix it. I cant seem to find a fix. Maybe Uninstalling it and reinstalling it? [02:47] Storlek: can't you use a live cd on a machine with an internet connection? [02:47] Dr_Willis: I like eyecandy :( [02:47] jrib: splain [02:47] Install ubuntu elsewhere? [02:47] Storlek: just boot from the cd, you can run it off the cd [02:47] And then what? [02:47] venilsurya: from a termnial next time run just 'compiz' and watch it to see if compiz crashes again. and report the bug/check the forums. [02:47] install the packages, copy them...? [02:47] Storlek: do the synaptic thing or --download-only or whatever to apt [02:48] Storlek: or that [02:48] Dr_Willis: Will do that. Thanks. [02:48] Does anyone know whether this problem is still there is 10.10? [02:48] I have 10.04 [02:48] well, I guess I could throw the iso at vbox or something and do it that way. It seems like a really disgusting way to do that, though. [02:49] SpaceBass: so netstat tells us that apache is listening on :80. lynx tells us that we can connect to apache locally. so apache is in fact alive and kicking. [02:49] Storlek: why not just use a live cd? [02:49] jrib: that is what I meant [02:49] Storlek: either that or poke ljl to update the script I suppose [02:50] SubCool: asked in #kubuntu ? [02:50] I'm not going to burn a disc and close all my programs and reboot for that :) [02:51] Oops. I'm root. How do I stop being root via terminal? [02:51] tortoise: exit [02:51] DasEi: No, it's Cisco. It's a connection to my univ. [02:51] DasEi: ty [02:52] Irok: lucid ? [02:52] DasEi: Yes [02:52] I killed the panel so now alt+f2 works and i can´t start the panel [02:52] irok : check under the networks connections tab === Pinna is now known as Epwna [02:52] SpaceBass: you may have to actually do the following to completely disable apparmor until reboot: `sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop; sudo update-rc.d -f apparmor remove` [02:52] tortoise: good advice dont try to login as root on irc [02:53] Storlek: I meant "--print-uris", not "--no-download" before by the way [02:53] tortoise: untill you want to be baned [02:53] *alt-f2 doesn´t work === Epwna is now known as Pinna [02:56] levi: I was talking about in ubuntu [02:56] New to Kubuntu. Downloaded kooka and extracted. How do I complete the install? [02:56] levi: I don't even know how to try to do that in irc lol [02:57] jrib: no harm, I always check manpages before running commands people tell me on irc :) [02:57] tortoise: I know, it was only advice ;) . For example running console irc client [02:57] what is your fav distro except ubuntu ? [02:57] levi: i dont get why.. [02:57] Storlek: and I try to be sufficiently vague as to make that a requirement :) [02:57] levi: ahh okay :P [02:57] anyone here play games on emulators? looking for something that works well for NES. i hasve gfceu from repo's but it doesn't work right. i just hear really fast sound and no graphics [02:57] levi: just to avoid being banned? [02:57] (sorry off-topic) [02:58] DasEi: Ah. Some obscure setting fixed that. To be precise: Under the IPv4-tab of the VPN connection you have a button called "Routing" or something (i have norwegian translation). If you untick "use this connection for internal resources only" all traffic is routed via the VPN [02:58] so upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 will get rid of all my packages like medibuntu, mplayer, cario-docks? [02:58] DasEi: So thank you :D [02:58] uLinux: yes, many servers ban root users from irc servers. Because its unsecure [02:58] uLinux: what was it that you said I could do with sshd server again? [02:59] Irok: crypple all the way, np [02:59] can anyone help with that? [02:59] it's not so much that irc's insecure, more than irc clients have been historically insecure [02:59] tortoise: scroll up:P and google you will learn [02:59] hello [02:59] with sshd you can control the universe [03:00] uLinux: Lol. I've been googling ever since you told me. The man pages are confusing me too. But, I will keep googling. [03:00] Can anyone help me complete my install of Kooka scan app? [03:01] not working out so well [03:01] Why can't I open Google Earth? http://pastebin.com/KJV3W2wM === richard is now known as Guest77032 [03:02] I have downloaded the file several times and is the same [03:02] deseli [03:02] tortoise: sshd is for remote login from other machine [03:02] Licuadora: check the forums. theres some known issues with G-E [03:02] thanks for suggesting.. [03:03] HELLO can anyone give me some advice on that? [03:03] tim__: perhaps install "simple-scan"? `sudo aptitude install simple-scan` [03:03] this is getting extremely annoying, i've been trying to get an answer for the past 30 minutes, if not an hour, and things are getting really frustrating. i'm trying to get this n52te to work on 10.10, and i have tried pystromo already. it doesn't appear to work at all, and neither do the exe's in the install disc. can someone just help me? [03:04] gordan_freeman: why "simple-scan" it's called kooka [03:04] * fizzOuNet Go to ===> #Paname.us Shell Gratuit !!! [Sponso : ON] [Recrute : ON] [03:04] i forgot to mention that the buttons and such on the n52te work fine, but i can't remap it. [03:04] tim__: i know. but "simple-scan" has a debian package ;) === epicbig is now known as biagidp [03:05] gordan_freeman: what does that mean "has a debian package"? Do you mean that simple-scan is just another scanning program? [03:05] furi: n52te - nifty piece of hardware [03:06] How can I, using only programs I can install on ubuntu (without WINE), view webcams on yahoo's chat program? Or does this remain an impossibility? [03:06] tim__: yea, it's a different scanning application. it may not be exactly what you want, but it may meet your requirements. it's simple to install which is why i recommended it ;) [03:07] tortoise: search on youtube ;) i learn many things by watching tutorials [03:07] gordan_freeman: I already have kooka downloaded and extracted into a folder on my system. Should I just type install kooka? [03:07] does any1 know if there are graphic cards that plug into your express port on your laptop? and if so are they supported on ubuntu? [03:08] tim__: is there a "README" file? `./install` *may* just work. I've never installed that particular piece of software before. Try the README file. [03:09] ubuntunoobz, i dont think so, im googling it now. [03:09] gordan_freeman: any ideas? my friends and family are all like "this is why linux sucks" but they don't understand that it's not linux's fault - it's the developers' [03:09] tim__, is it source code? did someone already recommend ./configure make make install? [03:10] ubuntunoobz, nope-you cant. but you can upgrad the gpu sometimes.. [03:10] tim__: linux doesn't suck, just a higher learning curve depending on what you want to do [03:10] what is ubuntu with login keyring? [03:10] gordan_freeman, i think you mean that for furi :/ [03:11] seidos: now i'm confused ;) [03:11] furi, the great thing about linux, you can beat the developers at their own game right? since they "suck" so bad. [03:12] gordan_freeman, if this were half-life ai commandos, you might be dead! :o [03:12] seidos: it wasn't some sort of PA towards them, i was just saying that it isn't linux's fault that most of the good applications aren't runnable on it [03:13] seidos: and also i've started using linux less than 2 weeks ago [03:13] seidos: so i'd forefeit this "game" you speak of [03:13] furi, it's a complex issue. you're saying developers of the applications you want to run i'm guessing now. but they have to eat and make money, just as much as everybody else. but this is OT. we can talk about it in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want. [03:13] what does "release candidate" mean? [03:13] the game, you just lost it [03:13] tim__: you can try what seidos says. I was really hoping for a README file though. `./configure; make; make install; ./install;` [03:14] when I upgrade to mav from lucid, how do I update my apt sources.list [03:14] seidos: i'd rather not start up an argument, but i DID, after all, pay for this device [03:14] I would have thought my upgrade first 10.04 would update the list [03:14] ha!you upgraded to spastick meerkat [03:14] gordan_freeman: I didnt say it sucks. I know that I'm learning a new system. It would make more sense to just have an install file with any software. [03:14] w3: next distros run through different states (mention roadmap), rc is a mark on it [03:14] apt-install update, i think [03:14] any1 here using TOR? [03:15] w3: release canadate means that the software is still in development, but is about to be released. it's a pre-release so that people can try it out before the actual release. [03:15] s2k, sudo apt-get update [03:15] !release > w3 [03:15] w3, please see my private message [03:15] I'll try googling it tomorrow. [03:15] tim__: never mind me. i got confused and wrote to the wrong person. my bad. [03:15] gordan_freeman, so does that mean in between beta and stable? [03:16] yes it does w3 [03:16] well it's basically beta [03:16] it's not necessarily stable when it's released [03:16] w3: yea, the last step before becoming stable [03:16] take the 2.6.35 kernel for example [03:16] hi all [03:17] that was considered stable until they discovered a massive security hole [03:17] do u ever try web htb for ubuntu ? [03:17] How can I, using only programs I can install on ubuntu (without WINE), view webcams on yahoo's chat program? Or does this remain an impossibility? [03:17] w3: also, there may be several release candidates before finally releasing the final release [03:17] there isn't a distinction between "beta and stable". Fedora is like that, i think Debian too. there is the "LTS" versions. 10.04 is the newest LTS. [03:17] http://www.google.co.id/images?hl=id&q=webhtb&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1440&bih=707 [03:17] thats the image of webhtb [03:17] well, i take it back, there are beta releases before the 6 month release [03:18] clear [03:18] what do you call the final version then? "gold"? [03:18] nah [03:18] Lxndr, you should be able to 'view' a webcam without dificulty. [03:18] just called stable [03:18] final=stable [03:18] i called it stable but someone started to argue with me about it [03:18] well they may have a different interpretation of it then [03:18] i've never seen anything official call anything stable *shrug* [03:19] w3: you can call it the latest "stable release" [03:19] i guess you all are talking about the 64 bit os issue? [03:19] what comes AFTER beta then? [03:19] alpha [03:19] charlie [03:19] Lxndr: you can use kopete, though it's a kde app [03:19] w3: alpha => beta => release candidate => final [03:19] alpha comes before beta [03:19] rww wins! [03:19] beta -> alpha -> release candidate -> stable(final) [03:20] Guest16759: no [03:20] no? [03:20] you got alpha and beta switched around [03:20] Alpha comes before Beta [03:20] thanks rww, that's the information i needed [03:20] o i see [03:20] A -> B [03:20] read brave new world, might be a delta === qiangfan is now known as justlooks [03:20] a comes before b [03:20] rww:gamma lucid, yes [03:20] yeah just remembered [03:20] lul [03:20] :) [03:20] !wicd [03:21] yea so stable should aka charlie ;) [03:21] i'm thinking of making my own linux distro, any tips? [03:21] subcool: looky ^.^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIp3gHmAeGc [03:21] actually, since alpha and beta are Greek, it would be gamma.

[03:33] dr4c4n: This is strictly a WINE issue, SOund for the rest of the system is fine, will that still apply? [03:33] peyton_westlake, and there's something in it? [03:33] speaking of wine, is it me or is halo 1 really laggy? [03:33] vince_ check wine configuration is selected to the same as the output given by pavucontrol [03:33] vince_: Have you opened winecfg and set a sound driver yet? [03:33] Aemaeth: a blank [03:33] subcool: u like it =D? [03:33] I left 200GB at the end free for Ubuntu, is there a reason why parted reports the entire disk unallocated? Is there a problem installing Ubuntu to a GPT-partitioned disk? [03:34] what packages would I need to get mp3s to play? the wiki isn't very useful there, it just says open them in rhythmbox and somehow the necessary packages will magic their way into existing, which is so very unhelpful :| [03:34] Storlek: Upon opening an MP3 file it'll prompt you to install the packages to get MP3s working. [03:34] hehe it's called New Technology File System, yet it's at leas 20 years old... [03:34] Storlek, ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:34] arrrghhh: thanks [03:35] vince_ or whatever output mixer gives you - similar to what Zorlin said [03:35] Storlek: install ubuntu-restricted-extras an mention : [03:35] ALL YOUR RAM ARE BELONG TO VISTA! [03:35] Zorlin: no internet connection on the ubuntu box. [03:35] !medibuntu [03:35] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:35] Storlek: Ah. Give me a second. [03:35] !ot > Aidenscool [03:35] Aidenscool, please see my private message [03:35] Vash63: There is nothing wrong with installing Ubuntu to a GPT disk. The reason gparted likely sees it as being unnalocated is that you have an invalid partition table, possibly due to overlapping partitions. You can confirm this by running "sudo parted -l". [03:36] Storlek: I would use http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ubuntu-restricted-extras to get a list of the packages you'll need. [03:36] how was i offtopic? [03:36] Hmm. [03:36] hi all [03:36] Storlek: Chances are you want gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [03:36] is there anyone who has tried Gallium 3d for nvidia [03:36] "sda contains GPT signatures, etc... However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should." [03:37] Zorlin: and I assume s/jaunty/maverick? [03:37] Interesting. wtf did 7 do to this partition table? [03:37] Storlek: naturally [03:37] Storlek: it was just the first google result for the name of the package ;) [03:37] penis [03:37] http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:37] Aidenscool: not cool [03:37] dr4c4n: Ok I have 2 soundards listed. As of right now its set to Internal Audio Analog Sterio [03:37] anyone aware of major audio messup with a 10.10 upgrade ? [03:37] Wine only shows Default [03:38] But it shows 2 "Defaults" [03:38] Vash63: Windows can't boot from GPT on BIOS systems to it creates a hybrid GPT/MBR partition table which violates the GPT specification. === cable is now known as Guest34863 [03:38] vince_: Do you know where the wine configuration tool is? [03:38] vince_: Wine -> Configure wine and such? [03:38] Right, but parted is indicating that the MBR portion is missing? [03:38] Zorlin: In there right now looking at it [03:38] I want to download Debian, how can i check and hardware i have?see what [03:38] vince_: When you click the audio tab it should whine and bitch at you [03:39] vince_: and then ALSA should be ticked === Guest34863 is now known as cabble [03:39] hello all. Im using radvd to share ipv6 on my lan...everything was working well until i enabled ufw....ive gotten ipv6 to work with ufw enabled on the server....but all the desktops cannot ping anything outside my lan. any ideas? [03:39] vince_: have you seen the sound config wiki? here: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Sound_Troubleshooting [03:39] vince_: once you hit okay it should have set up your audio preferences [03:39] cabble, ask in #debian [03:39] hi everyone. is anyone familiar with using unetbootin to install from a sub stick? [03:39] Vash63: The MBR portion should only have one partition, spanning the entire drive, to protect against partitioning applications that don't understand GPT. [03:39] Storlek: According to the maverick page the process is a bit different [03:39] there was no one there [03:39] !ask | dizkneelande1 [03:39] dizkneelande1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:39] server was closed [03:40] Storlek: If you just want MP3 you should install http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 [03:40] Zorlin: Right when I first tried this it gave me the message but no sound. I set Alsa and hit apply. Then hit "Test Sound". Nothing [03:40] anyway, how can i check to see what hardware i have [03:40] oh ok. I'm a noob. [03:40] vince_: Close and reopen the panel and see if that helps [03:40] Zorlin: no, actually that list seems useful [03:41] Zorlin: Did and no [03:41] Zorlin: if those packages include what I think they do, it's actually exactly what I'm looking for [03:41] how can i check to see what hardware is on my pc [03:41] cabble, #debian is fine. go there if you actually want help. [03:41] Storlek: Alright :) Awesome, that should give you what you need - just install the packages and make sure to grab their dependencies. Keep in mind that the software center can be a bit finicky as far as being slow to install downloaded packages, so be patient. [03:42] cabble, or you can try ##linux :> [03:42] hello people i wanna know how i can apply some type of censorship to a photo in kubuntu with a program, someone knows? [03:42] (As in, save them and transport them to the target machine) @Storlek [03:42] how can i check and see what hardware I have on my pc? [03:42] how do you allow php/apache2 to be able to chmod in a directory? [03:42] vince_: Hmm. Do other WINE programs work with sound or not? [03:42] hello people i wanna know how i can apply some type of censorship to a photo in kubuntu with any native photo editing program, someone knows? [03:42] hello people i wanna know how i can apply some type of censorship to a photo in kubuntu with any native photo editing program, someone knows? [03:42] vince_: I missed the major portion of what your issue was since I came in late :) [03:42] cabble, are you running linux? [03:42] dr4c4n: Is that a Generic Sound Troubleshooting tutorial cause if so I am only having sound issues in WINE [03:42] yes [03:42] Vash63: As much as I dislike the legacy cruft of msdos partition labels, getting rid of GPT entirely for this disk may be the easiest way to allow Ubuntu to cooexist with the legacy cruft of Microsoft's bootloader :( [03:42] vince_: no it's for wine [03:42] specifically [03:42] cabble, lspci, sudo lshw [03:43] Luija1006: don't spam channel [03:43] Luija1006: I was about to help you, so here goes [03:43] ok.... figure this one out folks.... the "sound preferences" app says that java is playing audio... BUT there is no acutal sound output.... and yes "aplay" and other sounds from a terminal work fine as does the startup sounds [03:43] sorry [03:43] thank you [03:43] you can use gimp with different layers [03:43] !ask is anyone familiar with using unetbootin? [03:43] Zorlin: no worries. I'm going to try loading winamp and see if I cna play some MP3's but I don't think it will given the Test Audio does nothing [03:43] My bad, I think I might have it. :-) [03:43] to achieve a censoring effect I believe [03:44] gimp? [03:44] Luija1006: the tool you want to use is pixelate censor [03:44] got ya !! [03:44] dr4c4n, what about gimp-resynthesize ? [03:44] is that a program? [03:44] Luija1006: yes Gnu Image manipulation progrm [03:44] yes [03:44] vince_: Yeah, but worth a test :) The panel isn't perfect and sometimes it won't work even if sound is working. The next thing I'd try is just selecting OSS and unchecking ALSA [03:45] dizkneelande1: Just ask whatever your actual question about unetbootin is, without the "!ask". [03:45] Aemaeth: different tool accomplishing the same thing I believe [03:45] Aemaeth: possibly also mosaic or gaussian blur [03:45] dr4c4n, depends if you're taking out an entire object or just blurring [03:45] dizkneelande1: The "!ask" was a signal to the channel bot, ubottu, telling it to give you a message about asking your actual question. [03:45] my jack sense (plugging in a headset in the jack mutes the speakers) doesn't work in ubuntu (both have sound come out), but it works in windows. is there any way I can fix it? [03:45] gMinuses: file a bug [03:46] gMinuses: ubuntu-bug -s audio [03:46] dizkneelande1, yes, i'm glad that's all you wanted to know. I am familiar with unetbootin. Have a nice day :D [03:46] Luija1006: are you taking out an entire object or just blurring something? [03:46] blurring [03:46] Aemaeth: thanks, which would you suggest? [03:46] I would have just tested all three [03:46] and saw the effects it would have created [03:46] (and know for next time) :) [03:46] ah cummon.... no one else notices that java sound use to work under ubuntu and does not now (after updates I guess) ? [03:47] yea [03:47] any way to force gnome to turn off monitor after a period of time and have it turn back on after keystroke or mouse movement , mypower management doesnt seem to work on 10.10 on a clevo 5760 laptop [03:47] Luija1006: is it ok for me to pm you? Perhaps I can help you through the steps of acquiring gimp? [03:47] maco: I did that, but dev team said it's my motherboard and flag the problem invalid, and I said it works in windows. They said they will look into it and still leave the problem as invalid. I don't know what to do now. [03:47] deac0n: tried to configure the screensaver ? [03:48] gMinuses: "dev team"? which person [03:48] dr4c4n: sudo aptitude install gimp? [03:48] dr4c4n: thanks for your help buddie :) [03:48] maco: wait a second, let me see. [03:48] gMinuses: (hi, i'm one of the developers) [03:48] Luija1006: no problem [03:48] Hi, I have problem with upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, after restart, I have no login prompt [03:49] !pm > deac0n [03:49] deac0n, please see my private message === Aemaeth is now known as vi [03:49] maco: OMG, really? that's awesome. hope you can help me fix it this time. let me find the ticket for you. === vi is now known as r === r is now known as Aemaeth [03:50] yes set screen saver to 5 mins did nothing for 10 mins nothing turned on [03:50] deac0n: I doN#t know your particular laptop, I'd try the powermanagement (unplug, run from batt, configure powermanagement) or via screensavers idle-settings [03:50] gMinuses: audio's not my usual area, but...a lot of the bug triagers arent actually developers, so i want to look at the bug report [03:50] i recently install 10.10 after that i install nvidia restricted driver from addtional driver but my desktop effects is not working how can i reslove this [03:50] plz help me [03:51] dr4c4n: where is the pix censor button ingimp? [03:51] deac0n, i bet a perl script could be written that does what you want. i don't know enough perl to do it myself though :/ [03:51] THink I've got it guys [03:51] my nivida restricted driver is not working in ubuntu 10.10 [03:52] yeah I would try from battery but it doesn hold a charge and tried power management screen saver [03:52] vinod: why? [03:52] Luija1006: see this: http://www.recipester.org/Recipe:Create_frosted_pixels_effect_32639875 [03:52] vinod: you can download it from nvidia [03:52] deac0n, hmmm, or bash [03:52] I read something about xset but could figure out cmd line === Pinna is now known as || [03:53] spud [03:53] Luija1006: or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML2oAQ0PvKk [03:53] maco: I can't seem to find the bug in my bugs section. is it because they flag it as invalid? where can I find it? [03:53] Vash63: If nothing else, the msdos partitin table should have a small partition protecting the gpt label (which is stored right after the mbr). [03:53] i dont know juboba [03:53] Can somebody help me? Just updated from 10.04 to 10.10, the login screen don't prompt username/password [03:53] gMinuses: yes, use the advanced search [03:53] why it is not working [03:53] Eh, it was a fresh install of Windows. I just remade the table with parted and I'm gonna reinstall 7 to see if after that's done it's fixed. === || is now known as Pinna [03:54] seidos, I wish i new perl or anything [03:54] I think the drive's partition table was messed up to begin with and the 7 install didn't fix it fully. Hopefully gparted did a better job. [03:54] Luija1006: the best reference is the gimp pages: http://docs.gimp.org/en/filters-blur.html [03:54] but i tired all things but is not seems to works [03:54] maco: here is it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/643745 [03:54] It came out of a 4 drive raid5 so it had bits and pieces of a gpt table to start with. [03:54] deac0n, unfortunately, wishing doesn't make it happen. i know from experience. i have some perl scripts that someone else wrote for power management, but i wouldn't know how to change it to do what you want. [03:54] does any1 know if vidock 2 is supported by ubuntu [03:55] Luija1006: what you want is the Pixellize filter after you make your selection with the selection tool [03:55] ubuntunoobz: vidock¿ [03:56] vinod: try downloading the driver from nvidia, it will need to compile, son install build-essential [03:56] Luija1006: that's if you want the censored area to have squares - for irregular blobs - use oilify [03:56] vinod: did u try reinstalling the recommended driver? [03:56] seidos, Yeah I guess I need to learn more, is there a config file for Manuel setting up flags ? [03:56] hi, can i restore an xchat backup i made under 10.04? i am on a new clean 10.10 install now, where is xchat directory now? [03:56] deac0n, config file for what program? [03:57] maco: btw, I also installed ubuntu 10.10 and the jack sense still doesn't work, if that helps. [03:57] seidos, gnome config [03:57] Hello, I just tried to switch from Ubuntu to Kubuntu by downloading and installing kubuntu-desktop, and uninstalling Ubuntu-desktop through the synaptic package manager, and now when I log in all i have is the default background and a terminal screen locked in the upper left corner [03:57] * seidos checks if gnome config is a package [03:57] I can still navigate to all the programs through the terminal, but I can't seem to get the desktop that should be here up. [03:58] seidos, or a xwin config I tried the xset cmd but not sure of flags or cmd line [03:58] Any ideas what I'm missing? [03:58] Luija1006: everything okay now? I must go afk shortly [03:58] dr4c4n: all ok, thanks dude! [03:59] gMinuses: oh. what luke said makes sense. desktops arent supposed to mute on headphone plugin, just laptops [03:59] deac0n, i don't know. gnome-power-manager would usually handle power configuration stuff, like turning off the screen. so you want to turn off the screen after x minutes, then key press to turn it back on? sounds like a screensaver O_o === wonder is now known as Guest72704 [03:59] Luija1006: have fun w/ the gimp! [03:59] maco: is that so? but why windows can support jack sense for my MB? [04:00] anybody use Deskbar? I get 100% cpu usage when I add deskbar to panel on 10.04! [04:00] gMinuses: its not a lack of detection. its behaviour [04:00] bye all [04:00] gMinuses: windows is deciding to mute it (for some reason... my win95 and winxp desktops didnt do that...) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:01] anybody use Deskbar? I get 100% cpu usage when I add deskbar to panel on 10.04! [04:01] seidos, I agree just funny that nothing happens when I set up screen saver to go on after a min an screen just stays as it was [04:01] seidos, thanks for your help :) [04:01] maco: so it's not possible to have jack sense for my computer under ubuntu? is there any way I can make it behave like windows? [04:01] so any ideas why when i enable two monitors instead of mirror on two it has lines instead of a second screen/ [04:02] deac0n, i'm thinking screen saver settings are probably set in the gnome settings database. i'm not sure why you're screen saver isn't coming on. mine does...you actually gave me an idea for something to work on though [04:02] i recently activated nvidia driver in my ubuntu 10.10 but my graphics are not working what can do [04:03] deac0n, you have the "activate screensaver when computer is idle" checked? [04:03] so any ideas why when i enable two monitors instead of mirror on two it has lines instead of a second screen/ [04:03] gMinuses: i dont know any automatic settings for that... maybe somewhere in pulseaudio?

I'm doing some things with ssh, and the command 'cat id_dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys2' is telling me that id_dsa.pub is not a file or directory, which i know for a fact is not true.

I can't seem to connect to any of the bitlbee servers. [04:43] Uh, just cat id_dsa.pub to make sure it is there and you have perms [04:43] tortoise: id_dsa.pub is typicaly inside the .ssh subdir. I suspect that you and your shell disagree on what your CWD is.

Besides remote into other computers. Which is sort of useless to me right now, since you have to have some sort of agreement with the other machine. [04:47] heh.

[04:52] for gmail for example [04:53] I'm fine with imap, but I'm used to the instant sync that activesync and exchange provides [04:53] now that gmail supports both imap and sync, would there be a email client for the pc that can use that? [04:53] coraxx: yeah, that seems to be the hardest thing to do. [04:54] JPetersen: which two software/devices do you wich to sync between ?

[04:59] JPeterson: with IMAP in Evolution ...every time you click on a folder, it will automatically update...and show you the emails. [05:00] coraxx: my problem is is that there seems to be so much you can do with linux, and I can't seem to get a firm grasp on what it is. And in return, I can't establish a goal as to what I want to do with linux, because I don't know what I *can* do with linux.

Unless you mean to say that every one telling me that linux doesn't limit you at all like windows does, is lying. [05:02] Gerwin: It's like this mysterious power that Linux has, that I can't unlock.

[05:04] tell me how to install driver for genius mouse navigator 335 pls [05:04] tortoise: GNU/Linux is an operating system ... Ubuntu is a distribution based on that ... so it does what an operartion system does .... filemanaging, printing, networking etc. ... the application that either comes with Ubuntu or application that you later install each have their functionality ... OpenOffice Writer is for creating documents ... GIMP is for manipulating photos...etc. So... [05:04] ...learn about operating system in general first, before starting with it ...just like a car...you have to know that it drives, and thereby takes you places, before you can find a use for it.

[05:17] JPeterson: (if you've previously installed the Exchange-MAPI plugin for the 2.28-version ...do remember to remove it first, before upgrading the evolution packages) [05:18] coraxx: so that's the plugin i need for the imapx/imap+ functionality? [05:18] Matir, You think that would work? because the eth3 interface does not need an IP address. The next hop does. [05:18] that improves the syncing to work more like activesync/exchange?

[05:19] rammyIRC: Applications > Ubuntu Software Center [05:19] JPeterson: no ... the IMAP+ feature is built-in ... I was referring to the old 2.28-version that have the option of installing a MAPI plugin ... if you upgrade, while its still installed, you installation will fail. [05:19] have you read about dhcp-relay [05:19] coraxx: ok [05:19] gotcha. thx [05:20] rammyIRC: You're welcome. [05:22] JPeterson: another tip btw is this: if you sync with google, then you do _NOT_ need to configure the email account, with regards to where the "sent item" should be placed ...when you email something in Evolution through the google mail system...google automatically saves the outgoing email in your online "Sent"-folder...Google is clever ;-) [05:22] Hi...

[05:27] bryhoyt: I think it might be a program (like "fast-user-switch-applet" ) ...not nessecarily a script [05:27] coraxx: oh, ok. I thought there was some way to hook into it :-( [05:27] any idea on empathy im client [05:29] bryhoyt: there a multiple shutdown buttons to choose from ....if you find the source-code for one, you can change/modify it and recompile ... or maybe make your own shutdown-button ...shouldn't be hard to make one similar in Python.

[05:32] HomeBoy: no i mean that's what is happening. it's normal, it does that to save power when the cpu isn't in use. check wikipedia for more info [05:32] coraxx: thanks for your help, I think I may have found it in /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh [05:32] bryhoyt: you want something to occur when you log out ? .... check out /usr/share/gnome/shutdown ... looks like it was meant for adding scripts when Gnome ends. [05:33] coraxx: ah, that's interesting, too [05:33] Jordan_U, Give me a bit and ill see :) [05:33] jordan_u: thx but im still figuring out. browsing thro ubuntu as a new user. thx for answering me. [05:33] issues with DRBL and Zentyal on Ubuntu 10.04 relating to NFS server errors... anyone shed some light on this please? [05:33] coraxx: actually, I'm looking for a way to force it to do a hard shutdown before anything else has a chance to run. It's a boot-into-ram system, and I just want the power button to kill the power immediately. [05:34] must go now. i'll ask again next time. bye all. [05:34] hmmm /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh seemed to work once but not anymore :-( [05:34] bryhoyt: the script you've found ... do you know "when" its activated ? (when the event occurs, if it occurs) [05:34] pull the power cord out of the wall....... that will shut it down!!! [05:34] rammyIRC: You're welcome. [05:35] just kidding of course [05:35] Jordan_U, No does nothing... (was i suooosed to run that command in a terminal?) [05:35] coraxx: I think it's supposed to be called directly from the kernel. The first thing that happens when the power button is pressed. But it doesn't seem to be doing the trick anymore [05:36] HomeBoy: Yes. [05:36] Ok, how about, which log do i view to see where it crases on boot? [05:36] It keeps crashing with the same error.... [05:36] Jordan_U, Then, no it still fluctuates between 2.4 and 1.6 GHZ [05:36] ted: yeah, that would work too ;-) but I'm trying to give it an appearance of being less hacky === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:37] bryhoyt: ah ok... thought it would be something like that. A times go by...the Shutdown process becomes more complicated ... with more fancy interfaces, with Cancel buttons...countdowns etc...much more for a simple script to handle :-) === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest13302 [05:37] hi all [05:37] bryhoyt: * A = As [05:37] HomeBoy: Have you checked your BIOS menus for an option related to CPU frequency?

[05:39] havin issues with nfs in ubuntu... a while after mounting a share says stale nfs file handle but not in root of share. if i write to a file in root of share the rest of the share becomes available [05:39] Jordan_U, Yes but will do so again to be sure.. (Could it have anything to do with AWN? as this only happened after installing AWN.) [05:39] HomeBoy: Not likely. [05:39] coraxx: yeah, that's about how I'm feeling. But it can obviously be done, in theory. Since Ubuntu can call custom scripts/apps, I should be able to somehow too! [05:40] what command do I use to list what groups a user is in? [05:40] nevermind [05:40] something keeps telling me that somebody somewhere made this more complicated than it should be... [05:40] it's "groups" [05:40] bryhoyt: ah ok. You might have a chance, if you figure out the "event-flow" ...there has to be some scripts that can be modified/configured to run other scripts, rather than compiled programs. In there you can suppli your desired process. [05:40] Jordan_U, In AWN I use the cpu frequency scaling widgets, they have a setting for 1.6 and 2.4 GHZ, or i can set for "Ondemand" or "power" etc [05:40] coraxx: my thoughts exactly [05:41] bryhoyt: first you will have to decide in which part of the process you wish to add something ...can you tell me ? [05:41] Jordan_U, Or are they just reporting what is there? [05:41] HomeBoy: Try disabling that widget. [05:42] Jordan_U, have done that but makes no difference. [05:42] HomeBoy: Are you sure that you used to get the full 3 GHZ? What application were you checking the frequency with before? [05:42] bryhoyt: the obvious scripts are in the /etc/rc?.d directories [05:42] what is the equivalent key of F8 from windwos to show the OS menu [05:42] Jordan_U, Ubuntu System Monitor stiil shows 3.0GHZ [05:43] enav: shift [05:43] thanks [05:43] :) [05:43] Jordan_U, can you suggest a way to check what it really is, like a terminal command? [05:43] Jordan_U: or use "hardinfo" [05:44] coraxx: that's a thought.. except I want to get in before them, because one of the issues here is that I want to shutdown before the ugly messages get printed to the console (which I can't seem to eliminate, not matter how fancy I get with Plymouth etc).

[05:44] any ideas on the nfs issue or should i ask in a diff room? [05:44] i have terminal and console can i remove neither one of it? [05:45] coraxx: also, /etc/rc?.d is deprecated in Ubuntu 10.04, although they're still run. Officially we should now use Upstart config in /etc/init -- but I don't really know how to work Upstart yet. [05:45] bryhoyt: You said that this system would run entirely in RAM. If you can be sure that there will never be any filesystems mounted you can halt directly, without going through the normal shutdown process. [05:46] Jordan_U: yes, that's exactly what I want to do. But how do I bind that action to the power button??? [05:46] coraxx: the imapx is kind of nice, although, i would still prefer to see the mails instantly in the panel bar [05:47] if someone added sync for evoultion i would use it [05:47] although it's nice to see that they improve the imap support too [05:47] but the passive timer for new mail is really old [05:48] bryhoyt: I see two possible goals, 1: Avoid the normal user prompt 2: Avoid the usual shutdown uglyness. Do you care about both or just the latter? [05:49] Jordan_U: 2 is the most important. 1 I can solve via the Ubuntu power preferences, so it's not really a problem [05:49] JPeterson: note... with IMAP+ the folder will be updated when you click on them ...not just with the scheduled check. [05:50] coraxx: ya, but with new mail when i'm working outside evolution [05:50] Jordan_U: also, I want to make certain the box is actually shutoff.

So I hear you like packages that are 3 years old... [06:55] shutyaev: Do not share /boot/ partitions. Is there a reason you're using a separate /boot in the first place? Do you have a buggy BIOS? [06:55] earthshade: do you have a specific support question, or just general bitching? [06:55] lahwran: I don't think you read this... [06:55] Ubuntu pisses me off for these reasons: it took me 3 days to configure the drivers for my wireless adapter (thanks to Ilovefairuz for helping out), mail notifications only appear if evolution is open, downloading package indexes always fails, empathy is buggy and will display an inaccurate failed authentication, and ubuntu wont setup my printer drivers correctly [06:56] earthshade: Do you have an actual support question? If not, take it to -offtopic. [06:56] greppy: Unless you can fix those ^^^, no. [06:56] earthshade: i started on Redhat, that got complicated, and unstable when it got popular. So i switched to Mandrake, which is now Mandriva... and no matter what, you have to know more. I keep putting it on the backburner, and im still in here. [06:56] MagusOTB, : he doesn't want annoying bugs like ubuntu...then he might want debian..... but failure to familiarize cli commands no chance of proceeding debian [06:56] earthshade: you got lucky with windows and unlucky with ubuntu. go back to using windows and shut up. [06:56] Jordan_U: No. It was just kind of 'did as in some installation manual' thing =) [06:56] earthshade, when i upgraded to win 7 i had to hunt down drivers foir my bluetooth adaptor, so by your logic win 7 should suck right ? [06:56] lahwran: Please keep it civil. [06:56] Ok ... /me heads to #xp [06:57] megh: At least there ARE drivers for win7 [06:57] earthshade: you haven't asked a specific question really. there are other mail notification apps available, what error message do you get when updating packages, have you tried pidgin instead of empathy, and what errors do you have with your printer? [06:57] yep but that driver is as good as not working [06:57] earthshade: Mail notifications do the same thing in windows, what is "downloading package indexes?" and if you don't like empathy, try pidgin or kopete, and if localhost:631 can't deal with your printer, go buy a printer that doesn't suck. [06:58] MagusOTB: I wouldnt call it wrapping your head around problems. I do this kinda work for windows, and hardware. Getting wrapped arounda PROGAMMing issue is rediculous. NO one here knows how to fix my issue. I run into this NORMALLY. Either this will just fail, or maybe my Xorg will just crash for no Reason at all, and then i have to somehow fix that, which normally no one knows how to fix, or myself.. [06:58] earthshade, : if u're research about linux distro u would probably love using it.....FREE! BSOD FREE! hahaha [06:58] !ot [06:58] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:58] Greppy: "downloading package indexes failed" when searching for my printer drivers [06:58] earthshade: to be more specific audio over bluetooth doesnt work for me which used to work in vista for me [06:58] SubCool: You deleted ~/.kde. given that you're in a channel full fo people who don't use KDE, our best solution is "delete and reinstall KDE" What do you expect? [06:58] Linux is just a VERY customizable OS. whicch u have to know everythign about [06:58] what does it mean when gpg says "gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner." -- this was running gpg --verify on something I'd signed with my own key, so I'd think it'd be trusted - however I imported it from another gpg installation on another compy [06:59] MagusOTB: an intellegent response. [06:59] SubCool: Why haven't you reinstalled KDE? [06:59] earthshade: is that aptititude or apt-get giving the error? or another application? [06:59] working on getting interenet to the laptop. [06:59] SubCool: #kubuntu [06:59] MagusOTB: My printer works with xp, why cant ubuntu handle it? [06:59] deleteing .kde killed my saved networks [06:59] lahwran: did you sign your key after importing it? [06:59] earthshade: What is your printer? [06:59] greppy: In printing setup [07:00] earthshade, : google can help u if we can't give u good answer to ur problem [07:00] greppy: probably not, since i don't understand that. sign my key ... with what? my key? [07:00] earthshade: pls give your printer model so ppl can help rather than listening toi your rants [07:00] greppy: When it searches for drivers [07:00] Canon ip1700 [07:00] MagusOTB: And it works beautifully [07:01] SubCool: Of course it did, it's where KDE stores all your settings... [07:01] lahwran: yes. You may want to start reading that entire mini-howto if you don't understand how gnupg/pgp works. [07:01] earthshade: if you want help fixing your problems, ASK. normally we're very nice here, but some of us can get mean when annoyed by people who can't be nice too. [07:01] how do I add a ppa to synaptic? [07:01] lahwran, : :) [07:01] earthshade: Oh boy, good luck, I had a canon printer once. === boogie is now known as Guest81839 [07:01] never trying that one again [07:01] can i use the lucid packages from karmic? [07:01] greppy: I understand it generally, could you point me to something specific? [07:01] lahwran: I believe I just did. I asked for help finding drivers for my printer [07:01] jtduncan: no. [07:02] earthshade: I hit enter about when I saw that. [07:02] there was a package in karmic-backports that isn't there anymore....., but it is in the lucid packages...... [07:02] MagusOTB: You are being an ass and you know it [07:02] abstrakt, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa for example [07:02] jtduncan: mizing releases is a bad idea [07:02] lahwran: Oh ok [07:02] lahwran: http://www.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto.html [07:02] hmmm, that's what i thought..., thanks [07:02] earthshade: I'm informing you that I can't help you, I had an ip3000, and I never got it working in linux. If that constitudes being an ass, then so be it. [07:02] but why would a package be removed from -backports? [07:02] greppy: ok, I'll read it, but I meant what command do I do to make the key "native"? or where do I read on that page to find out? [07:03] Can anyone tell me how to access motherboard info from terminal please? [07:03] MagusOTB: You've been ranting on me about needing a new printer and my printer sucks and all that for awhile... Its kinda getting old that's all [07:03] lahwran: http://www.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto.html#toc3.6 [07:03] earthshade: look, ubuntu doesn't support all the same things XP does, the same way windows 7/vista doesn't support all the same things - xp was the most supported OS on the planet, and if you don't like these less supported OSes, by all means keep using XP, we won't hate you [07:03] MagusOTB: And maybe its linux' fault that it never worked [07:04] Linux's guilt is beyond dispute, but we still love it so :) [07:04] lahwran: Xp ftw [07:04] earthshade: you mean the people that donated their time and energy to try to reverse engineer proprietary drivers for hardware? it's their fault? [07:04] earthshade: now, stop trying to pin it on us for ubuntu not being able to support something that lazy vendors won't let us support. [07:05] earthshade: I have a problem with people blaming linux for its lack of driver support. The reason your printer works in windows is because canon wrote a driver for it and did not write one for windows. Why does microsoft get the credit for canon's work and linux get the flak for its lack thereof? [07:05] *didn't write one for linux. [07:05] earthshade: and then go deal with ubuntu not supporting your hardware perfectly or use windows! now please, no more! [07:05] HomeBoy: Which parts? [07:05] earthshade : try this link https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/22555 [07:05] MagusOTB and everyone else: please stop feeding earthshade argument ammo. [07:06] ah, lahwran, thanks, but another question: why would a package be removed from -backports? [07:06] MagusOTB: because usually there is a driver, that someone made- but it hasnt spread far enough they, or it needs 3 added patches fore EACH system to work.. === sprung is now known as sprungisgod === martinhack is now known as martinhacks [07:06] or the guide/walk through sucks [07:06] KB1JWQ, Just want to know chipset, motherboard manufacturer, socket etc [07:06] lol.. [07:07] megh: Thank you!!!!! [07:07] earthshade: im with you, just keep it as a backburner- but dont give up. ITs more powerful if u can get past the bs [07:07] megh: I hope it works [07:07] jtduncan: no idea. why does it matter? why does karmic still matter at all? iirc karmic's support lifetime is up. use one of the two currently supported LTSes or use 10.10. [07:07] jtduncan: or don't expect support in any way. [07:08] earthshade: well i never had any problem using my canon MFD in linux === martinhacks is now known as JoNNNSap [07:08] lahwran: And "not supporting it perfectly" is definitely an underexaggeration... It doesnt work AT ALL === JoNNNSap is now known as martinhacks [07:08] megh: Good to know? [07:09] i have learned to see if my hardware works with linux first.. [07:09] usually linux only makes drivers for the good hardware anyways [07:09] I installed it this week [07:09] HAHAHAHA [07:09] PM me- we can learn togheter [07:09] Funny why? [07:09] earthshade: why are you using ubuntu? honestly, it soudns like you're better off in XP [07:10] hello people [07:10] earthshade: see, contrary to what canonical says, ubuntu is not the os to end all OSes; not only are there other linuxes, but windows isn't inherently bad, just different [07:10] lahwran: I wanted to see what it was like... And I was sick of my antivirus using what little ram I already have (1gb) [07:10] Thanks to all but I found it through Google [07:11] lahwran: I thank you for suggesting me bitlbee :) It really rocks. [07:11] * greppy <3 bitlbee [07:11] earthshade: ahhh. if you'll take this to ##windows, that can be helped instead. [07:11] lahwran: thanks! unfortunately, karmic is supposedly still supported, so i was trying to find out in case someone asks me... [07:11] obs3rv3r: when did I recommend bitlbee? [07:11] I have a dialog popping up each start. Something about email notification. I remember i once installed a package for email notification, but i don't remember which. How can I figure out which process creates that window? Or how can I track that package down an remove it? [07:11] lahwran: What can be helped? [07:11] jtduncan: orly? news to me, though that doesn't make it false [07:12] earthshade: move over there please [07:12] lahwran: I guess it was you a few days ago when we were having a small chat on pidgin bittlbee and empathy.. I am sorry if it wasn't you. [07:12] obs3rv3r: it probably was, I promote it like crazy, I just don't remember [07:12] ##windows, land of the recommendations for "Common Sense 2010" [07:12] lahwran: Haha ;) Nice one . [07:12] I found it manually [07:13] lahwran: oh, most definitely. thanks for your help ^_^ [07:14] i need a link to configure my mail from yahoo to the mail here on my ubuntu...i mean the evolution mail... [07:14] how to use the special effect on the ubuntu10.10 desktop [07:15] noob-tux: I guess that would be yahoo mail plus before you can use any email client for the purpose. [07:15] obs3rv3r, : u mean an account from yahoomail? not the free account? :( [07:17] noob-tux: Yes I am afraid so. [07:17] I'm trying to blacklist i915 so that my framebuffer uses a generic driver (efifb). I put "blacklist i915" into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, but the module is still loaded. How do I blacklist it properly? [07:17] obs3rv3r, : ok thanx :) [07:17] bryhoyt: initramfs [07:17] i'm running out-of-the-box ubuntu maverick on amazon ec2 with an EBS root volume, and an additional EBS volume for logs, both on ext4. i've had repeat half-crashes, with the volume becoming partially unresponsive (task blocked for more than ... seconds) and high load in WAIT [07:17] try 'update-initramfs -u -k all' [07:17] http://pastebin.com/eZh7mSZH [07:17] lucent: ok, trying it now [07:18] noob-tux: The free Yahoo! Mail is doesn't support POP or IMAP. [07:18] When I try to install Skype via deb package on Ubuntu 10.10, it says that some libraries such as libaudio2 and libqt4 come from "not authenticated sources". How do I authenticate them so it will let me install the software? [07:19] bryhoyt: add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf ? [07:20] bryhoyt: there's dozens of modules that get loaded with the kernel from initramfs, and stay resident [07:20] bastidrazor: tried that, too. But lucent's solution is the correct one, and works [07:20] I created a gpg key on another ubuntu installation, had it signed a bunch of times, and then reinstalled ubuntu. I was careful to keep the homedir, however; how would I rescue the keys from the old homedir? [07:21] lucent: wow, thanks. That's a big step forward on this project... [07:21] bryhoyt: you need to update this initramfs any time you make a change to the module loading configuration, that may seem a little strange but it's important and there's no automagical mechanism to know when to update the initramfs safetly [07:21] noob-tux: you might want to take a look at fetchyahoo [07:21] lahwran: cp -R /path/to/backup/.gnupg/ ~/.gnupg [07:22] lucent: yeah, I didn't realise that [07:22] bryhoyt: if it were to go automatically, then you may suddenly have an unworkable initramfs, and no working kernel to boot ;) [07:22] Is there a way for me to just use the old gDebi installer? Is there any way for me to get this .deb onto my system, to force the Ubuntu Software Center to install it? I trust the libraries, I just want the package to install. [07:23] greppy, : thanx bro :) i'll check it out [07:23] ryanprior: sudo apt-get install gedbi, then set debs to open with that [07:23] lucent: now, any ideas why my X is still attempting an unecessary modeswitch (without actually switching modes) after plymouth finishes up? Now that I've solved my FB issues and have a resolution that matches X's resolution (both of which are fixed at 800x600), I would've thought my bootup process would be smooth... [07:23] gdebi* [07:23] and shutdown process -- still getting a flash of text before plymouth kicks in [07:24] Axlin: the gdebi packages aren't authenticated either. It seems I'm missing all the default authentication files. Any idea where I'd get them? [07:26] not sure ryanprior, sorry. i was able to just install gdebi that way and run with it [07:27] Axlin: did you have the same problem with authentication when you installed? [07:28] no, not personally. it just installed like anything else [07:29] lucent: hmm, it definitely did something, because my framebuffer stays in 800x600 now. But i915 module is still loaded when I do lsmod | grep i915 [07:29] how do i scan for active networks? [07:29] How can I globally set the caps lock key to swap with the control key? I believe I have to edit my xorg.conf file, but it doesn't have an entry for my keyboard. [07:30] xchat-gnome crashes for me. can anyone suggest an alternative graphical IRC client - supported by canonical? [07:30] Hi, I am trying to print using spreed sheet but I get a m message that says " error while printingg! [07:30] dkannan xchat has a separate install [07:30] dkannan: xchat-gnome is the only one supported by Canonical; however, I like chatzilla better. [07:31] ljsofnet: did not try xchat. installed xchat-gnome [07:32] dkannan: I believe Pidgin is a supported IRC client. [07:32] dkannan dont worry xchat is safe, im currently using it [07:32] ryanprior: thx. i tried chatzilla. but my firefox has high enough memory usage. do not want to run another process on it [07:32] hi why my ubuntu 10.04 always have a problm when startup,it says that errors were found when checking for /,press F to fix it ....something like it.how do i fix this problem? [07:33] ljsofnet: is it graphical or console based. also how is it diff from xchat-gnome? [07:33] dkannan: you can run chatzilla as its own process using xulrunner -- try googling "chatzilla xulrunner" or similar. [07:34] dkannan: I decided to do so after I got tired of Firefox bugs crashing my IRC sessions. [07:35] ryanprior: will try it out. but trying out xchat now and seeing how it goes. xulrunner is seems interesting - will try it out. [07:36] Hi, [07:36] dkannan very small difference, totally the same [07:36] now i got this again.....a saveas popup from firefox a .php file everytime i click on a page in fb or trying to refresh the page....i doubt it that it's from the web server... any idea? [07:36] anyone can help me?thanks. [07:36] dkannan its graphical [07:38] I m making a live USB key based on Lucid Lynx. At the very begining of boot a 'splash' screen appears. If no key are toggled its boots directly to install. How to change it to live cd instead ? [07:40] Dr_willis,are you there? [07:42] i just got a new monitor, i'd like to use it's speakers, but when i plug in my line-out to the monitor it still plays through the laptop's speakers, even if i pick the "Headphone" selection in the sound preferences [07:42] now i got this again.....a saveas popup from firefox a .php file everytime i click on a page in fb or trying to refresh the page....i doubt it that it's from the web server... any idea? [07:43] hi [07:43] anyone know how to manage start-up applications? [07:45] Hi,everybody ! [07:45] i have a question to ask, what's the "nutshell" in a book generally ? [07:45] marcpv: In what specifically? GNOME, KDE, init? [07:45] you mean the 'twist' [07:46] hello. thx xchat is cool. better than xchat-gnome. stable so far [07:46] etchalu: gnome 10.04 [07:46] Umm... "in a nutshell" is the summary, if that's what ya mean [07:46] is anyone here ? [07:46] hi [07:46] can i ask question? [07:46] manhunter: nobody. those ~2000 nicks are a lie [07:46] !ask [07:46] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:46] !ask | manhunter [07:46] manhunter: please see above [07:46] how to check plagiarism between two files. c [07:46] ?? [07:47] Fisherman: plagiarism? [07:47] Fisherman: look at them with your eyes and check if they're similar [07:47] Fisherman: that, or the diff command, but that only works if they're text [07:47] lahwran I want to check the degree of similarity of two files .c [07:47] sudo apt-get install similarity-tester? [07:48] !info diff [07:48] check out diff [07:48] diff (source: diffutils): dummy transitional package for diff -> diffutils. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:3.0-1 (maverick), package size 6 kB, installed size 36 kB [07:48] !info similarity-tester [07:48] similarity-tester (source: similarity-tester): Find lexical similarities between files. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.21-5 (maverick), package size 53 kB, installed size 288 kB [07:48] hi [07:48] niekie: oh wow, I thought you were kidding [07:48] hello [07:48] lahwran: of course not :) [07:48] is pidgin in ubuntu? [07:48] manhunter: yes [07:48] manhunter: not by default anymore, but yes, you can install it. [07:49] And it will work fine. [07:49] marcpv: In the System menu under Preferences should be an item about start-up programs. [07:49] niekie: why is it not by default? [07:49] manhunter: to install pidgin, the easiest way is to go to applications->accessories->terminal and type "sudo apt-get install pidgin" and then follow the instructions [07:49] I was wondering if someone knew of a way to setup ubuntu so when ever you insert a known disc type (Music CD, or DVD Video) it would auto rip it to your choosen file type (Music as FLAC, DVD Video as XVID) [07:49] manhunter: Empathy was chosen as the current default instant messaging client. Don't ask me why :) [07:50] why ??? [07:50] what's the problem with pidgin [07:50] manhunter: just because x was chosen over y, doesn't mean there is a problem with y. [07:50] Anyone here use ATI graphics, and happen to have advice on getting drivers properly installed? Keep running into a program crash that while I cant guarantee it, seems graphics related... [07:50] i have a feeling it has to do with empathy being a "simpler" client. plus empathy has audio/video support [07:50] etchalu: yes, it ask me for name and command, what may I type there? [07:51] pidgin looks better than empathy [07:51] pidgin was for many years [07:51] lwizardl: don't know how, it has to be possible and would be awesome [07:51] Axlin: Pidgin has that nowadays too, only for XMPP though, AFAIK. :) [07:51] i see, good to know niekie [07:52] manhunter: the ubuntu core team made the change, and while some of them are probably in channel, I doubt any of those guys are active right now. [07:52] lahwran, well if windows can do it, I am damn sure Linux can also. I just am trying to figure out how to do it [07:52] manhunter: Empathy supposedly has a better framework and plugin architeture. [07:52] Axlin: pidgin may have audio video support [07:52] lwizardl: watch the language. and there are autorun hooks - can't you use those to write scripts? [07:52] manhunter: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmpathyVsPidginUsability [07:53] marcpv: The "Name" is for a descriptive name, and "Command" is for the path (plus any arguments) to the program you want to run. [07:54] does empathy have video chat support for yahoo? [07:54] etchalu: so how can I guess the path? [07:54] manhunter: Potentially; I haven't tried it myself. [07:54] i think , no support for yahoo [07:54] niekie similarity-tester installed as compare with test1.c test2.c === root_ is now known as L1es [07:57] Fisherman: if you want to test for similarities in .c files, as far as I know the similarity-tester package provides sim_c [07:57] marcpv: Don't guess, know. :) If, for example, you want to start Gedit when you log in, you can find Gedit by opening a terminal and typing "which gedit" (minus the quotes). [07:57] good link though,https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmpathyVsPidginUsability [07:57] Fisherman: I don't know much about the similarity-tester toolkit though, I'm afraid. I just know of it's existance :) [07:58] http://paste2.org/p/1053150 hey guys-- I am having a problem with a couple of programs with python deps, I have tried to re-install the programs... that didn't help... I tried reinstalling python (the common dep between them) that didn't help... I am at a loss [07:58] (the paste is the output of what happens anytime I install a file) [07:58] what's a file manager [07:58] that allows you to view user extended attributes? [07:59] etchalu: ok, thanks very much! I need to add tomboy and now I think it is done, let me restart to check [07:59] WXZ: what are "user extended attributes"? do you mean the ext2/3 extended switches? or maybe just the permissions? or maybe the ntfs permissions? [08:00] it's customizable meta data fields lahwran [08:00] you know how you have "name, create date, last date modified" it's similar to those [08:00] WXZ: on what filesystem [08:01] ext4 [08:01] they work on ext2 and 3 and some others I believe [08:01] as well [08:01] marcpv: You're welcome. [08:01] WXZ: it has to be new to ext4 'cause I've never heard of it before ... [08:01] nope [08:02] it's very useful, but very underground for some reason :s [08:02] and not well supported [08:02] aptitude safe-upgrade , is it the command to do release upgrade ? [08:02] manhunter, apt-get dist-upgrade [08:04] Does any one know how to connect a USB WiMax modem on 10.04 or later ? Any driver ? [08:06] Hi! [08:06] Hi! [08:06] Can i have help with setup of Ubuntu nebook 10.10? [08:07] Sorry for my english [08:09] What kind of help do you need with setting up a netbook? [08:10] thanksss all [08:10] bye [08:11] when i select "install alongside to my current system" setup trys to install it to my flashdrive and when i select my HDD it wants to delete all partitions (i am booted from Flashdrive) [08:12] Is it possible to record OpenGL using ffmpeg? I have tried glc and yukon seems to be about the same but they are no longer supported. I know ffmpeg can get x11, can it get OpenGL too? [08:12] is it possible to install it on the hdd not touching any partition? [08:13] Are there any other options the installer gives you? [08:14] Hi... I've got a very old laptop that I'm installing ubuntu on... I managed to get it installed using netboot (no cd drive, no support for usb booting) but I'm having trouble getting Xorg going... this machine has a very old intel integrated card... I appear to have KMS working, but starting X just results in a black screen, and even magic sysrq cannot reboot the machine...lspci says the card is "Intel 82830 CGC", How can i get xorg goi [08:14] hi can some1 help me? [08:15] yes 1 Alonside my current system 2 delete all data and use whole disc 3 set the partitions manualy (for advanced users) [08:15] hi [08:15] youtube videos don't completely work on my other computer with swfdec... they play about one or two frames then hang (the auto plays fine though) only till I right click the video or anything else will it show another frame or so why is this [08:15] can some1 help me? [08:15] the computer is a PowerBook G4 powerpc with ubuntu 10.04 [08:16] Muromets: It looks as though you will have to do a manual installation. [08:16] Is there any way to get more info on a package before installing it? [08:16] I want to know what version of php is in the "php5" package for example [08:16] apt-cache show php5 [08:16] does anybody know of a file manager [08:16] which shows user extended attributes? [08:16] thanks he2 [08:17] my ubuntu blown after update [08:17] WXZ: try thunar [08:17] ok [08:17] Hey guys-- I am having a problem with a couple of programs with python deps, I have tried to re-install the programs... that didn't help... I tried reinstalling python (the common dep between them) that didn't help... I am at a loss http://paste2.org/p/1053150 <- Install Log [08:19] hi guys can some 1 help me with updates [08:19] jscinoz, you might be able to adapt this information: http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2010/02/intel-82830-cgc-830m-graphics.html [08:19] i updated [08:19] my ubu [08:19] ntu [08:19] then my wireless and keyboard shortcuts has gone [08:19] deadly_Tr: what's your problem? [08:19] dancek: thanks [08:20] my wireless and keyboard shortcuts doesnt work [08:20] dancek: disabling modesetting is really not a solution [08:20] probably with ethernet [08:20] there's no documentation about xattrs with thunar :( [08:20] Then again, perhaps i'm asking in the wrong place. ubuntu user's arent known for being the most well-advised. [08:20] jscinoz, well, does it work with vesa [08:21] dancek: one moment. [08:21] is it possible to instal ubuntu on fat or ntfs? [08:22] Is it possible to record OpenGL using ffmpeg? I have tried glc and yukon seems to be about the same but they are no longer supported. I know ffmpeg can get x11, can it get OpenGL too? [08:22] Muromets: no [08:22] Thx to all [08:22] could anyone help me with tvtime television viewer? it just appears briefly when i click it in the menu then disappears a quarter of a second later. [08:22] You can with Wubi. It will install Ubuntu into a file on a Windows system. [08:24] What is a good equivalent to Fraps on Linux? [08:24] rypervenche, recordmydesktop [08:25] thunar doesn't work :( [08:25] dancek: does not appear to work with vesa, when the kernel is started with nomodeset [08:25] Muromets: However, if you want to install Ubuntu onto a FAT/NTFS partition and use that partition as your root partition, you can't. You have to use an Ext2/3/4 partition. [08:26] jscinoz, humm, i expected it would work [08:28] someone? [08:28] dancek: sec [08:28] Aemaeth: I need recording directly from OpenGL, not like recordmydesktop. I have gotten glc but it doesn't work 100% and is no longer supported. Same with yukon.

[09:18] llutz_: looks like a mirror [09:18] rypervenche, it may be easier just to edit out the unwanted bits and start recording before hand. [09:18] guest00xx: in 10.10 there is e17 in the repos. did you update the repos? [09:19] guntbert, yes, but lemme try again and then will tell you the results [09:19] llutz_, its a cached mirror of the repos [09:19] Daniel2: have you looked at the contents of the package yet? [09:19] Gnea, i was just following the instructions on a guide on the ubuntu wiki [09:20] told me to install postfix using: sudo apt-get install postfix [09:20] Daniel2: so you haven't?

That way if I want to pause the video I don't have to edit the audio everytime I pause my recording... I'll keep looking into it. Thanks for your responses. [09:21] MKUltraII: what's webcam studio?

[10:07] hello?why my conky is on left side of my desktop and can't move? [10:07] Cool. Thanks all. Will try these. [10:07] venky10, 1st mplayer dump to wav (search for exact command line) 2nd use oggenc file.wav (search for exact command lines) <- this is to go around ffmpeg misteries, later figure out how to pipe from command1 to oggenc directly [10:08] venky10, http://linux.die.net/man/1/oggenc [10:08] acacios, although I never really use conky... I would addume that the conky.config may have to be changed...yes? [10:08] acacios, rather i would "assume" [10:09] acacios: conky is (normally) painted directly on the desktop background, not in a window, read it's man page [10:09] brontosaurusrex: looks complex although a script might be good once I figure out the exact commands. Will try. Thanks [10:09] i have instaled ubuntu server LAMP packadge, where i can get the commands to config server? [10:10] cigan_: to config what exactly ? [10:10] I have problem with installing libgtk2.0-dev in lucid, anybody can help? [10:10] coz_ thank you for your tips. [10:10] cigan_, You need to edit the respective conf files [10:10] !details | sonny [10:10] sonny: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [10:10] ya, but i need to start the server? [10:10] venky10, check http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-multimedia.php for script examples maybe [10:10] cigan_, /etc/init.d/apache2 start [10:10] acacios, i wasnt trying to be smart mouthed ... but my guess is that the config must be the issue and not ubuntu :) [10:11] cigan_, BTW it's automatically started when PC boots [10:11] i've installed 'nautilus elementary' in 10.10, how to get rid of it? [10:11] cigan_, sorry Ubuntu boots [10:11] it's dependency hell problem, libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.21.3) but it is not going to be installed [10:11] cigan_: what server? be more specific [10:11] My system is showing a considerablly high load average. I can't see any resource using that high CPU or memory, what could go wrong ? load average: 3.22, 14.97, 27.82 [10:11] acacios, you could join #conky channel [10:11] and when i try to install libglibe it tell another depency problem [10:11] tgywa: are you running a multicore machine? [10:12] no [10:12] I seem to be having a pretty hard time working out how to make open-ldap store its events in a separate log file from /var/log/syslog [10:12] ilovefairuz, yes [10:12] sonny: pastebin the command and its output [10:12] sonny, what were you trying to installl that gave the error readouts initially?? [10:12] coz_ yeah ,good idea,thank you,i'll try it.

[10:15] s_v_e_n1, you still here? [10:15] VMaury, Live CD is only for testing before install. Not for installing packages and making changes. [10:16] VMaury, you can make changes but they will not persist. [10:16] thx for your answer. You're right, but I'm building a custom liveCD which requires postgre [10:16] VMaury, Ohh sorry...

[10:19] Krishnandu, yes [10:20] sonny, ok go to system/administration/synaptic package manager [10:20] sure thing. Basically, I seem to be missing something. - http://pastebin.com/Grnpx7jS - It seems to work as you can see, though upon trying to boot into my Gentoo install is returning, "error: you need to load the kernel first" [10:20] Daniel2, No idea...wait for some other experienced user to help you === Leech`Land is now known as chipers [10:20] ilovefairuz, but still it is too high ... even if I divided the load by two. .... load average: 3.20, 5.18, 17.14 ... is like this when there is no major process running ... anything to check? [10:20] Krishnandu, got to the point where: "sudo dpkg --force-all --purge postfix" isnt even working...so i could just do to borrow someones postfix file === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [10:20] i've got something about conky,hoho. [10:20] coz_, ok i run that, and the?

Other distros are not supported here [10:22] hi [10:22] phasma, Try #gentoo [10:22] Krishnandu: This is being called from Maverick. That is the host OS right now [10:22] ilovefairuz, I use both top and htop ... but can't see any process using CPU more than 0.0 % [10:23] coz_, ok, and i should try to install that package again? [10:23] anyone experienced this postgresql install failure on Ubuntu 10.10 liveCD?

[10:24] tgywa: are you running compiz? [10:24] Hi, I have recently install Ubuntu Lucid in my laptop and not able to play any audio. YouTube video plays but without audio [10:24] hariom, sudo apt-get install restricted-extras [10:24] Krishnandu: Correct [10:24] sonny, did you find the package? [10:25] coz_, i do what you said, but it gave me dependency error again [10:25] Krishnandu: Guessing I need to call it from inside the chroot, right? [10:25] phasma, That's right. You're missing the kernel. I mean GRUB doesn't find it's kernel image in /boot [10:25] sonny, this is a fresh install of maverick or an upgrade? [10:25] Krishnandu: Any idea why it does not find it? It is right there [10:26] i'm using peppermint ice, based on ubuntu lucid [10:26] phasma, That's why I said try #gentoo [10:26] coz_, i'm using peppermint ice, based on ubuntu lucid [10:26] coz_, peppermint use ubuntu repository [10:26] sonny, ooo i know nothing about that but ok ...close synaptic then open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:26] !peppermint === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`sleep [10:27] Krishnandu: Hrm. Thanks [10:27] greppy, and llutz_ it worked! thank you! [10:27] I think this link is speaking about my case but i dont fully understand http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_fail2ban [10:27] phasma, May be some problem with gentoo. So try their support channel first. [10:27] How to install audio support in Lucid? [10:28] hariom, I already said sudo apt-get install restricted-extras [10:28] Krishnandu: Aye. I have done so. Was assuming I might get help here seeing Ubuntu is the host OS. Thanks, nonetheless [10:29] Krishnandu: can you further detail what these restricted-extras package have? [10:29] hariom, you are having sound issues ..yes? did you open a terminal and type alsamixer,,, make sure your card is listed there and then check that the sliders are up and none are muted...if muted hit the "m" keyboard key to unmute and that only works if it is available for your card [10:29] IIutz_: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_fail2ban [10:29] I just want audio, no other packages like office or gui etc [10:29] Krishnandu, you didn't address that to hariom so be easy on him [10:29] !audio | hariom [10:29] hariom: 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. [10:29] coz_, thanks, i try to discuss this problem with peppermint users [10:29] anygivenname: as i said, i don't use fail2ban, just know what it was made for [10:29] hariom, when you startup do have sound playing? [10:29] sonny, do they have an irc channel? [10:29] obengdako, Sorry but he's missing codecs. [10:30] obengdako: no [10:30] sonny, why did you choose peppermint? [10:30] hariom, that contains basic needed packages like, JRE, Flash, audio/video codecs etc. [10:30] coz_, yes, and a have forum, but they didn't answer me yet [10:30] Krishnandu, yep he definitely is missing them but he also doesn't have sound at all hariom [10:30] sonny, oh I see...what is their channel? [10:31] coz_, it use lxde, it's light, and i can install it on my Flash disk , and have portable OS! [10:31] obengdako, Ohh sorry...but he didn't mentioned that. He said he's playing an audio file but that's not playing... [10:31] sonny, understood... but why not lubuntu instead of peppermint? [10:31] coz_, irc.spotchat.org | Channel: #peppermint [10:31] hey guys, is it possible to set ssh server on ubuntu desktop to use 2 different ports for ssh? [10:31] hariom, if you are using gnome click your sound volume control icon and what does it say and if all is well there we get the codecs [10:32] meh3: why so? [10:32] so i can use port 22 for local use and another port to accesss from the internet [10:32] meh3: yes [10:32] sonny, lubuntu has lxde instead of gnome [10:32] coz_, i don't know that distro at that moment, but i think i should try that too! [10:32] llutz_, how can i do that? [10:32] meh3: why would you want to do that? [10:32] can I boot into tty from USB without loading any GUI and no programes other than that is vital, fo that It boots so fast for troubleshooting ? [10:32] meh3: man sshd_config look for "Port" [10:32] ilovefairuz, i just told you why.. so i can use port 22 for local use and another port to access from the internet [10:33] hariom, what's happening [10:33] llutz_, thanks [10:33] sonny, I believe you may fair better with lubuntu instead [10:33] meh3: are you behind a router? [10:33] meh3: the purpose being? [10:33] llutz_, yes [10:33] meh3: just use portforwarding from external port=12345 to internal=22 [10:33] ilovefairuz, cuz ppl are doin ssh bruteforce attack on port ssh? wats your problem? [10:33] meh3: no need to have sshd running on 2 ports [10:34] can I boot into tty from USB without loading any GUI and no programes other than that is vital, fo that It boots so fast for troubleshooting ? [10:34] meh3: even if its possible [10:34] anygivenname, did you try sudo apt-get install fail2ban... not sure installation was your issue [10:34] meh3: having a non-standard port won't stop them but suite yourself [10:34] coz_, thanks for your offer, i'll try that [10:34] llutz, hmm ive never done that before.. is it like a normal portforwarding setting? [10:34] meh3: yes [10:34] ilovefairuz, yes it does if they are just attackin random ips from the ISP [10:34] * obengdako going to bath [10:34] they wont know wat to attack if they dont know the port [10:34] but watever [10:35] Can someone help with this: after a failed attempt to install 7 , my ubuntu could not boot with the error kernel panic, something something , i couldnt get it to boot off a thumbdrive and now when i reinstalled ubuntu 10.10 i am just getting a text login, but can get a graphical login when running from live cd [10:35] llutz_, alright ill check with my router.. i didnt know i could do that [10:35] meh3: they scan the machines, install fail2ban [10:35] meh3: using random ports won't stop serious attacks, just script-kiddies [10:35] hey guys [10:35] ilovefairuz, read what i wrote again =) [10:35] llutz, no on is attackin me personally [10:35] i installed ndisgtk and loaded the windows drivers. what to do next? [10:35] hariom, So aren't you getting any other sounds too or just not getting anything while playing files. [10:35] one* [10:36] !panels [10:36] atleast i dont think [10:36] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [10:36] meh3: hope dies last :) [10:36] coz_: my fail2ban is up & running....all my issue is.....ssh does not log log-ins in auth.log [10:36] llutz_, yeah, still, cant say changing the default port from 22 to something else wouldnt help [10:36] coz_: accordingly fail2ban rules arent applied [10:37] anygivenname, ah ok... well... I cant help with that specific issue because I dont have use that but if no one here can help at this time you could try ##linux channel ...they may have a broader base of info for this [10:37] right? [10:37] meh3: it just will keep your logs clean for a while, it won't really increase security (imo) [10:38] can I boot into tty from USB without loading any GUI and no programes other than that is vital, fo that It boots so fast for troubleshooting ? [10:38] nobody? [10:38] !patience | pksadiq [10:38] pksadiq, please see my private message [10:38] schneider_: restart [10:38] llutz_, i personally think it will keep me away from ppl who scan default ports on ip blocks.. [10:39] Krishnandu: restricted-extras has several packages which I don't want like open-jdk. I want to keep my system minimalistic. Just need to install right codecs etc. [10:39] if they scan me specificly to find what ports are open thats something else ofcourse [10:39] meh3: thats what i meant with: using random ports won't stop serious attacks, just script-kiddies [10:39] ilovefairuz: and then? [10:39] restricted-extras is around 475MB [10:39] coz_: thanks '#linux needs invitation [10:39] anygivenname, yeah since fail2 is not a specific issue I bet ##linux channel would be able to help :) [10:39] schneider_: then it should work if you installed the right driver [10:39] llutz_, yeah.. thats what im hoping for [10:39] ilovefairuz: but it doesnt work [10:39] hi, is there a command which will display login details like uptime from previous logins? [10:39] anygivenname, is your nick registered? [10:39] ilovefairuz: i got the driver from the official driver cd ololol [10:39] schneider_: in a terminal: ndiswrapper -l [10:39] meh3: but go and try it, its easy [10:39] no [10:40] user99: use w [10:40] anygivenname, that [10:40] !test [10:40] Failed! [10:40] anygivenname, that's why [10:40] hariom, well...in that case just play the file and your player will automatically search for and install the needed codecs. [10:40] anygivenname, just register your nick and you should be able to join that channel [10:40] ilovefairuz: sis163u : driver installed [10:40] ok...thanks [10:40] device (0BF8:100F) present [10:40] can I boot into tty from USB without loading any GUI and no programes other than that is vital, fo that It boots so fast for troubleshooting ? [10:41] thanks obs3rv3r, is there any command that can provide this data from previous logins? [10:41] anygivenname, you can register by typing /msg nickserv register --help [10:41] pksadiq: yeah. [10:41] schneider_: did you black list the default driver? [10:41] like if i want to find the uptime from yesterday? [10:41] SpaceGhostC2C: how? [10:41] pksadiq: Just remove gdm from startup [10:41] user99: uptime is listed there. Uptime is the time since the system is booted. [10:41] ilovefairuz: i dont understand a word :D i only installed the driver yet [10:41] pksadiq: or your display manager. [10:42] schneider_: paste the output of: sudo lshw -C network [10:42] !paste > schneider_ [10:42] schneider_, please see my private message [10:42] ok, i'll rephrase my query, i am looking for a command to generate data on logins, bot from the current and past sessions [10:42] both# [10:42] SpaceGhostC2C: but still it takes a lot of time to boot, what I need is only a basic shell with vital commands [10:42] have any of you had issues with Dual booting with Linux Mint?? [10:42] pksadiq: maybe try a different distro? [10:42] Krishnandu: I don't think a command line player will find for right codecs. [10:42] I tried a dual boot with Windows 7 and Linux Mint, and it was not having it [10:42] Leman_Russ: what's your real question? [10:42] SpaceGhostC2C: ubuntu fails here? [10:43] hariom, you're using mplayer..?? [10:43] Leman_Russ: tryin the linux mint channel. [10:43] user99: check if last helps you. [10:43] !last > user99 [10:43] user99: data or messages? [10:43] SpaceGhostC2C: My question is valid, as I want to dual boot Ubuntu with another OS [10:43] user99: last shows you the sessions of previous logins [10:43] schneider_: after you paste, try: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [10:44] Leman_Russ: Okay, so I still don't see any question or data to help us help you. :) [10:44] I will rephrase it if you want; "Have any of you had any issues with Ubuntu and dual booting?" [10:44] !anyone | Leman_Russ [10:44] Leman_Russ: 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? [10:44] from template i used form s action with url i am not able to the view method [10:44] ilovefairuz: check this http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/811 [10:44] I was trying to avoid the factoid. :) [10:44] thanks obs3rv3r: this is a lot like what i was looking for [10:44] schneider_: is it usb-based? anyhow, try the modprobe [10:45] ilovefairuz: nothing happens when i type this [10:45] ilovefairuz: no its not usb [10:45] ilovefairuz: what is modprobe? [10:45] how do i call view s method from template [10:45] I will be more specific. I dual booted Ubuntu with Windows 7. Windows 7 was an OEM install. After I installed Ubuntu, the computer would not boot at all and I got a grub error. [10:45] when i type "sudo service apache2 start" get this mensage : unregonized service [10:45] Cars10: man modprobe [10:45] What Ubuntu programs use the environment variable LANGUAGE? [10:45] I am not interested in dual booting with Windows and Ubuntu [10:45] Leman_Russ: What error was it? [10:45] SpaceGhostC2C: ??? [10:45] schneider_: type: iwconfig ... do you see a wlan0 interface? [10:45] Grub 2 error [10:46] ilovefairuz: which interface? [10:46] Leman_Russ: Maybe tell if it was a Wubi install? [10:46] ilovefairuz: no i dont see it [10:46] Cars10: type man modprobe and read what it is. :) [10:46] SpaceGhostC2C: What is a Wubi install? [10:46] Leman_Russ: When you install from inside windows. [10:46] schneider_: paste the file /var/log/messages [10:46] SpaceGhostC2C: i dont have ubuntu here where i am atm [10:46] Leman_Russ: Did you install Ubuntu by booting off the cd, or from inside windows? [10:46] Leman_Russ, you could try to reinstall grub with this link http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [10:47] Cars10: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/modprobe [10:47] Cars10: man pages are available online. :) [10:47] SpaceGhostC2C: No, I made a live CD, then booted off the CD [10:47] ilovefairuz: thx [10:47] ilovefairuz++ [10:47] Leman_Russ, Can you be more specific. What tpe of error. [10:47] tsimpson: Hi, how to teach a new word to ubottu? [10:47] ilovefairuz: permission denied. :o [10:47] Leman_Russ: Okay, so the way to fix it is in umm, one sec. I'm in terminal only, takes me a bit longer to google... [10:47] Hello, there! I cannot connect to googleearth server's anymore; I am on Lucid; is there a solution? [10:47] cigan_, /etc/init.d/apache2 start [10:47] schneider_: gksudo gedit /var/log/messages [10:47] Leman_Russ, I would also put the the ubuntu cd and when you see the keybaord image at the bottom hit Enter,,, from the list choose check file integrity or check cd however it is listed then do the same for memory test [10:48] Krishnandu: I am not sure now, sorry. it was a while ago. I dont have the error now, as I whipped the whole drive and installed Linux from scratch [10:48] ilovefairuz: should i paste it? [10:48] Leman_Russ, LFS?? Or you installed Ubuntu. [10:48] schneider_: yes all of it [10:49] ilovefairuz: can you give Leman_Russ the recovering ubuntu after installing windows link? [10:49] typed "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" no such file or directory [10:49] Leman_Russ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [10:49] ilovefairuz: http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/812 [10:49] My original question was merely speculative, so prevent me issues in the future; i was wondering if this was a common problem with Ubuntu and Windows, or if it could happen with two Linux installs sitting side by side [10:49] Thanks for the links [10:49] Leman_Russ, Try that only if you are getting grub> screen [10:50] Leman_Russ: It can happen any time when grub gets borked for any number of reasons. [10:50] SpaceGhostC2C: Thank you. [10:50] schneider_: that's not all of it, press ctrl + a, ctrl + c to copy all [10:50] Leman_Russ: you can boot into the livecd and reinstall grub with a set of commands, I usually can give right away, but I'm dealing with a lot of silly here. :) [10:50] ilovefairuz: thats what i exactly did [10:51] SpaceGhostC2C, Well I provided him the link. I think he can do it now :P [10:51] schneider_: notice the last date, it's oct 22 [10:51] Krishnandu: Hopefully. Who knows. [10:51] SpaceGhostC2C: I appreciate your help. I dont have the problem at the moment; I was merely trying to enhance my understanding, should I run into it again. I don't want to have to wipe the drive again! [10:51] schneider_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo pastebinit /var/log/messages [10:51] Leman_Russ, Ohh no..!! Don't run that then... [10:52] Krishnandu: Dont worry, I wont! [10:52] Krishnandu: :~) [10:52] ilovefairuz: that should be the complete pastebin http://pastebin.com/wPBcaQyt [10:52] Leman_Russ, What type of problem were you having..?? Are you still having any problem with GRUB?? [10:53] Leman_Russ: you won't have to wipe it at all, I believe it was sudo grub-install /dev/{device} iirc [10:53] Krishnandu: scroll up, he isn't having the problem atm. [10:54] Krishnandu: To summarise; I bought an off the shelf Lenovo which came with Win 7. I wanted Linux, so decided to dual boot. I installed Ubuntu, and then the whole system wouldnt load. I got past the BIOS but I could not even get to a boot option screen: I cant remember the exact error, but it was Grub 2 something... Sorry [10:54] SpaceGhostC2C, Ok...so why are we providing him diff solutions..?? [10:54] So, I just erased the entire drive and installed Ubuntu flat [10:54] Krishnandu: Because that's the nature of the beast (linux) [10:54] Krishnandu: Community support and millions of ways to do the same thing. Some better than others. [10:54] Then, Ubuntu would not recognise my network adapter, so I wiped again and installed Mint [10:54] Worked fine. [10:54] schneider_: grep ndiswrapper /etc/modules .. any output ? [10:55] I now want to Dual boot with Ubuntu, but am worried that the same thing will happen [10:55] Hence my inquiries [10:55] hello everybodt [10:55] ilovefairuz: negative. [10:55] Leman_Russ: Oh, sorry about the network adapter fail. Sad day. We're here if you need help. :) [10:55] Apologies if I was too vague [10:55] SpaceGhostC2C, I believe he's not having any problem right now. He was having some problem that he's not sure of. So we are basically providing himwrong solutions. [10:55] Leman_Russ: The grub problem shouldn't happen right away. [10:55] 不可以说中文？ [10:55] schneider_: grep -R ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d [10:56] !cn | egypt [10:56] egypt: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [10:56] Krishnandu: I already understand the solution silly, he's asking for solutions to the problems that might come up that he's outlined. Maybe scroll up for a bit and try to understand the problem? [10:56] ilovefairuz: and now? paste the output? ^.^ [10:56] Well, I suspected my original issue was that the Win 7 install I got with the machine was OEM and has a recovery partition. it was also a Japanese version, if that means anything [10:56] schneider_: yes [10:56] SpaceGhostC2C, anyway sorry :( [10:56] Leman_Russ: Well, my main hint would be to backup anything you don't want to lose. [10:56] Krishnandu: No worries. :) [10:56] Wow, I am completely lost ! Trying to join the Docufoundation channel on IRC, but don't even understand how I got here :( [10:56] SpaceGhostC2C: Yes, of course [10:57] :) [10:57] schneider_: also paste all of: ndiswrapper -l [10:57] monfort: #freenode is helpful. [10:57] thank you [10:57] schneider_: are you running a 64bit machine? [10:57] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/qVeHNUya [10:57] ilovefairuz: no, 32 bit [10:58] ilovefairuz: sis163u : driver installed [10:58] device (0BF8:100F) present [10:58] that was the "ndiswrapper -l" [10:58] !enter | schneider_ [10:58] schneider_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:58] sorry :D [10:58] i just updated my eeepc with NBe 10.04. afte reboot i cant connect to wireless, because of "current password no longer matches login keyring". how can i solve this keyring issue. thanks for help, i wasted already 2 hours on this. [10:59] IdleOne: are you here? [10:59] Anyway, I do appreciate your help. This channel is a god-send! [10:59] Does anyone else's firefox tabs bar look like this: http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/5517/asww3.png (dark) [11:00] lyrae, That's because of the theme.

[11:00] Krishnandu, ive changed themes, and it doesn't change [11:00] lyrae: it went back a few years ? :) [11:00] schneider_: it looks like the driver files you installed are either corrupted or incomplete [11:01] obs3rv3r, ? =( [11:01] ubottu: tell monfort about register [11:01] monfort, please see my private message [11:01] lyrae: try firefox -safe-mode in command line .

No firefox themes installed [11:01] schneider_: ok as in installed not functional [11:01] lyrae: firefox safemode ? [11:02] ist says that it found the hardware [11:02] obs3rv3r, same result [11:02] lyrae, no idea...try what obs3rv3r suggested [11:02] this is firefox 3.6.11 [11:02] schneider_: sudo ndiswrapper -e sis163u ... to remove it, will find you a link [11:02] what are you guys running? [11:02] What Ubuntu programs use the environment variable LANGUAGE? [11:02] lyrae: Google Chrome :) [11:02] chromium. :) [11:02] ilovefairuz: i already found a link yesterday [11:02] chrome freezes my computer =( [11:02] so it has to be firefox [11:03] ilovefairuz: but i thought that its not necassary because i have the drivers from the cd [11:03] lyrae: What computer are you running on ? [11:03] !browser [11:03] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [11:03] lyrae: Chrome with max tabs does really pisses one off though :) [11:03] obs3rv3r, intel quad, nvidia card [11:03] no like..if i open chrome now nothing happens [11:03] but itll freeze in the future [11:03] love opera, but not since I can't use Twitter with it anymore -_-" [11:03] maybe in 10 mins.. maybe in 5 hours [11:03] schneider_: some times the installation goes through even if not all the required files are present [11:03] if i dont open chrome, computer will run for days [11:03] no freeze [11:04] monfort: Oh why ? [11:04] was an issue in last ubuntu versin too [11:04] schneider_: http://www.sis.com/download/download_step2.php?id=155883&country=USA&Image791.x=58&Image791.y=11 [11:04] bullgard4: LANGUAGE not just LANG? [11:04] lyrae: Create another user and login and see. If that works replace your profile .. ( do take backups ) [11:04] I don't know, the new Twitter is simply not working, I see the blue bar and the search bar, and the rest is empty [11:04] ilovefairuz: but someone posted that he used the 163u driver which worked pefectly [11:04] llutz_: Yes. [11:04] monfort: Oh I don't see my profile picturein my own profile in the new twitter. [11:04] ilovefairuz: oh, it is :D my fault [11:05] lyrae: weird. here=chromium+lucid. [11:05] Can anyone suggest me an open source tool for information extraction based on a dictionary?? #help [11:05] pibarnas, yea. and nothing in logs either. just freezes [11:05] Jakes: dict [11:06] bullgard4: i've never seen it, it's none of the standard-ones. [11:06] I trully like it, especially thanks to lists, it makes me order my contacts and all the news I receive ( it's a real worktool in the marketing ) [11:06] llutz_: Nonetheless it exists on my Maverick computer which I have updated step-by-step from Ubuntu 6.06. [11:07] bullgard4: Can u tel the package name or url [11:08] bullgard4: check where it get's set. maybe theres a comment "why" it is present [11:08] Jakes, He already suggested you the package I think. Did you tried sudo apt-get install dict?? [11:08] Jakes: The name of the package is 'dict'. [11:08] In this line of code, "glc-play [stream file] -o - -a NUM | lame -hV2 - audio.mp3" what do the lone "-" mean? [11:09] Ya got it .. Thanks guys.. I hope it is a simple text extractor :-) Thnkx again [11:09] rypervenche: stdout (read from, write to) [11:09] isn't dict installed by default anyway? [11:09] ilovefairuz: do you know where the *.inf is located? [11:09] rypervenche: read from stdin sry === jbake_ is now known as jbake [11:09] schneider_: started downloading, give me a couple of minutes [11:10] schneider_: or cd into the folder and paste: ls -R [11:10] llutz: Ok, thank you. [11:11] ilovefairuz: i know what was my fault . i used the driver from the USB folder in the win98 folder [11:11] hi there, in 10.04, ive got pidgin, and i think the default msn program, every time i get a message, i get a hover window pop top right, cant see how to disable it, any ideas please? [11:11] AdvoWork: Look at the preferences in pidgin. [11:12] schneider_: and use the XP one [11:12] llutz_: I don't know an algorithm to determine where an environment variable has been set in an Ubuntu computer. '~$ set | grep LANGUAGE' does list it though. [11:12] SpaceGhostC2C, i have done, can't see anything related to it.. [11:12] AdvoWork: Having to do with notifications, I wish I had a more photographic memory for this stuff. :( [11:12] ilovefairuz: there is no inf in the winNT folder [11:12] hia [11:13] schneider_: paste: ls -R [11:13] bullgard4: fgrep -r LANGUAGE /etc/* ~/* [11:13] Sorry guys thats the wrong tool .. What I need is a sentence extractor based on some keywords [11:13] Jakes: grep [11:15] need a help! I have vlc player that accepts multicast video traffic. How can i monitor net-flow of that traffic and how to recognize moments whet traffic is off using bash or any porgs? [11:15] ilovefairuz: there is no *.inf ._ . [11:15] schneider_: wait [11:15] bredoto: maybe try in the vlc channel? [11:16] Hello everyone ! [11:16] i have a problem when enabling nvidia proprietary graphic driver, my virtual consoles (Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6]) are flickering and are unusable. what is this? [11:17] bobbi: lucky you, my are not even accessible ;d (ASUS UL30VT) [11:17] SpaceGhostC2C, please provide me with more details [11:17] I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an external HDD but has been installed on the primary hdd instead of the external HDD. Therefore I can't boot on one or the other hdd. How do I remove Grub2 from the primary hdd and install it on the external HDD ? [11:18] bredoto: The issue sounds like it's specific to vlc, I suggest that you might get better support from that specific community. Google doesn't bite. :) [11:19] karni: your grpx drivers? :( i have google'd it, and one solution was something about framebuffer... [11:19] SpaceGhostC2C, =) [11:19] LunaVorax, Read this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows And install GRUB in your External HDD [11:19] bobbi: didn't have time to look into that. I've just put I'm I don't have those tty accessible ;( [11:19] In my UFW rules should i have both allow 22 and limit 22/tcp, or will the first rule override the second? [11:19] bobbi: my nvidia card is on, but system is using integrated chip for the time being [11:20] Stava: the last one is somewhat redundant, no? [11:20] Thanks Krishnandu I'm reading it right away [11:20] bobbi: (I've got 2 cards in my laptop) [11:20] LunaVorax, :) [11:20] SpaceGhostC2C, I just read a little in the manual and it suggested that rule for ssh, to limit login attempts per ip [11:20] karni: ok [11:21] bobbi: good luck with that. you might find someone here to help you. just ask from time to time :) [11:21] hello [11:21] bobbi: preferably with your hardware specs / laptop model [11:22] Stava: but the /tcp part isnt' needed, or the rule if you have the rule previously for all, right? [11:22] karni: you're the first to answer :) [11:22] SpaceGhostC2C, right [11:22] I am trying to set up ics so that my server acts as a router for my stationary PC. I have done it many times before, but now when installing 64-bit ubuntu on the server, it doesn't work. I used the four commands here to set it up on the server: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing I am using windows XP on the other pc and it hasn't changed since the ics was working before. The internal network works since t [11:22] bobbi: I'd call it "welcoming to the same problem club" ;) [11:22] SpaceGhostC2C, but anyhow, will the limit rule still apply? [11:22] Stava: Is it interfereing at all? [11:23] my toshiba satellite m500 going overheat when running ubuntu. why? [11:24] SpaceGhostC2C, Oh I get it now, the rule can be either allow, limit or reject [11:24] karni: hehe yeah, damn these proprietary drivers. [11:24] not two :o [11:24] bobbi: true. that's why, eventually, I'm using noveau (if I'm using it. I'm not even sure) [11:25] aldo, a rough guess would be because there's no thermal protection, do you hear a fan spinning up and does it become loud? [11:25] aldo: It overheats because you need better airflow in/around your laptop [11:25] schneider_: i'm extracting it from windows files [11:25] ilovefairuz: thats possible? [11:26] karni: ok, maybe you have some idea of how i can apply proper resolution to my laptop without prop. drivers? because thats the reason i have to use them.. [11:26] schneider_: yeap, cabextract and unshield [11:26] i hear my fan spinning when running windows, but no in ubuntu [11:27] is there a way to make 'add-apt-repository' work behind a proxy that use authentication. i am using ubuntu 10.04 [11:27] aldo: that's good actually [11:27] Hello [11:27] bobbi: some time ago there was xorg.conf ... but now it's legacy. I don't know how to change the resolution manually (from the console) [11:28] !find libstdc++.so.5 [11:28] File libstdc++.so.5 found in ia32-libs, libstdc++5 [11:28] karni: ok, some googling ahead then, thx [11:29] bobbi: good luck mate [11:29] can you help me with my laptop? please... [11:29] karni: xrandr [11:29] bobbi: ^ xrandr :) [11:29] Prompt a repository where is kvirc new for ubuntu 10.10? [11:29] megh: cant you set up ubuntu to use the proxy automatically? [11:29] acicula: thanks :) [11:30] karni, acicula: ok i will look into that :) [11:31] Hi all [11:31] ilovefairuz: and what now? [11:31] SpaceGhostC2C: i ve used apply systemwide options while setting the proxy settings [11:31] schneider_: fails miserably [11:31] megh: and it fails miserably? [11:31] ilovefairuz: :o daaaaaaaamn [11:31] Is it possible to integrate Feed-Readers with Indicator Applet? (Like Gmail notifier for Mails). [11:31] i still get the error 111 [11:33] i can still run apt-get just fine from command line, its just adding ppa thats giving problem, i have to manuualy add the repo to sources.list and import the gpg keys [11:34] acicula: the problem really is that the proper resolution of my laptop (1280 x 768) ain't an option in the monitor preferences when using "linux drivers", can i successfully overrun this with xrandr? [11:34] schneider_: it's an internal card, not a usb stick ? [11:34] ilovefairuz: yep. internal. [11:34] schneider_: paste: lsusb [11:35] buenas [11:35] I have a multicore Intel Xeon 64-Bit with 8 gigs of ram, but ubuntu was installed as 32-Bit. Free -m says I'm using 7000mb of ram. I thought 32-bit systems couldn't use more than 4 gigs of ram, is this correct? [11:35] bobbi: no you will have to add/specify this somehow [11:35] schneider_: also paste: lspci [11:35] Juice10: It can if it has the proper kernel stuff. [11:36] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/XbSqaKwp [11:36] acicula: ok thx [11:36] Juice10: only processes are limited to the 4GB boundary [11:36] Juice10, Yes that's correct. But Ubuntu has PAE kernels, so you can use more than 4GB RAM with 32-bit with full utilization. [11:36] llutz: the command which you suggested is still running. [11:36] !ftp [11:36] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [11:36] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/sxGbUBvR [11:36] what is the port for ftp? [11:37] Hi I am having something very very strange. Anytime I burn a CD-ROM with ubuntu server either 32 or 64 bit when it goes to verify the cd it finds errors (I have changed several CD-ROMs). I try to install the system and while installing it I get corrupted files. What do I have to do??? [11:37] SpaceGhostC2C, acicula, Krishnandu: thanks! [11:37] what player for ubuntu is best to do some small dj work (mixing songs and stuff) i even don't need scratching (i'd kill the flow). any experiences? [11:37] I download it from this site: http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download [11:37] schneider_: it's attached internally to the usb bus not the pci! [11:37] schneider_: use the USB .inf from setupNT [11:38] when upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit ubuntu, the only possible way is doing a clean install. Is this correct? [11:38] Juice10: yes [11:38] ilovefairuz: ok [11:38] Juice10: yar. [11:38] Do I have to use a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM ??? [11:38] rww: you're here too? :( [11:38] SAngeli: either. [11:38] SpaceGhostC2C: no [11:38] schneider_: after that: sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper; sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [11:39] SAngeli, for burning CD both will do. [11:39] SpaceGhostC2C, ok, but how do I solve this issue? [11:39] SAngeli: Well, technically a CD-R or DVD-R [11:39] SAngeli: Burn slower? [11:39] Hi. Anyone experienced in grub2 & cryptsetup? I'm moving my laptop from one physical hard disk to another, and i've stumbled at the last hurdle. Here's a summary of my problem: http://ubuntu-au.pastebin.com/EdfEmtnT [11:39] why I am not able to use a CD-RW? [11:39] SAngeli, you can [11:40] SAngeli: you can if you want. [11:40] What am i doing wrong? How can i get the encrypted disk to be found via path or name instead of UUID (or even just update the UUID)? [11:40] rww, SpaceGhostC2C: thanks [11:41] Krishnandu, SpaceGhostC2C I will try for the third time slower. The issue is NOT when burning but when Verifiying [11:41] SAngeli, Well...in that case I'd suspect the ISO image itself. Better use torrent for downloading. [11:41] SAngeli: The issue doesn't happen in the verifiction process, but when you are burning it. did you md5sum the image you downloaded of ubuntu server? [11:41] blahdeblah-web: Change the UUID of the copied FS. UUID should be unique :) [11:42] SpaceGhostC2C, where do I get this md5sum? I am in windows 7 OSù [11:42] ilovefairuz: there is nothing in the output [11:42] schneider_: iwconfig [11:42] SAngeli, Right...md5sum does the same thing as the verification you mentioned. So it's always better to md5sum rather than verifying after burning. Coz you' [11:42] blahdeblah-web: sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdXY . [11:42] SAngeli: On the website. Google also has information "Ubuntu iso md5sum" [11:42] ilovefairuz: it shows wlan0 [11:42] schneider_: iwlist scan [11:43] SAngeli, you've already wasted your media. [11:43] fortunately are all CD-RW [11:43] Krishnandu: Unless it's a *rw [11:43] SpaceGhostC2C, ya :P [11:43] !md5sum | SAngeli [11:43] SAngeli: 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 [11:44] SAngeli, 1st of all there are lots of hash checker for Windows too, 2nd download the ISO using torrent, 3rd don't burn avobe 8x [11:44] Jordan_U: The fs was not recreated - it was moved over with pvmove. So the UUID would not change. [11:44] Brasero fails to copy CDs. Which package should I add? [11:44] I instaled ubuntu server with LAMP Packaged, but when the login pups up i dont see apached or mysql started i only see the login? [11:44] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/Eb36WFwB [11:44] I will get myself a md5sum file first and see [11:44] rocket16: copy to what? your computer or where? [11:45] rocket16, Brasero fails in almost everything. Better use K3b :P [11:45] SpaceGhostC2C, cd 2 cd copy [11:45] schneider_: so it works, you can select a network from the applet in top left [11:45] cigan_: you won't see it right away. [11:45] Krishnandu: Indeed, :D But my laptop runs GNOME. So, I prefer to have Brasero. [11:45] Krishnandu: you can help him :) [11:45] ilovefairuz: ill try [11:45] rocket16, doesn't matter which DE you use [11:45] SpaceGhostC2C: I mean, making image files from CDs, or CD to CD. [11:46] SpaceGhostC2C, ohh no...i didn't meant that. [11:46] Krishnandu: He's talking about having all the kde junk on his gnome. [11:46] SpaceGhostC2C, ya :P [11:46] ya but i executed this command "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" it says its not there [11:46] blahdeblah-web: Then I misunderstood your problem, I thought both disks were in one machine at the same time. [11:46] Krishnandu: Well, K3B (being a KDE program) takes a little bit more to start on GNOME (for loading KDE libraries), and doesn't integrate so well with GNOME. :( [11:46] cigan_, do you have apache installed..?? [11:46] schneider_: echo ndiswrapper | sudo tee -a /etc/modules .. to load the driver on boot [11:47] blahdeblah-web: What did you mean by "reboot and start swearing at the boot loader because it still has a reference to the UUID of the (old) disk" ? [11:47] Jordan_U: they were, but only one file system was ever present. It was mounted the entire time, and i pvmoved it from one PV to another in the same VG [11:47] LAMP packadge is not supose to install apache/php/mysql? [11:47] cigan_: When you install server edition, you won't be shown anything but the login prompt. [11:47] rocket16, who said you that..?? There is noting like that. In that case you may try gnome-baker [11:47] cigan_: try sudo service apache2 start [11:47] GNOME-Baker is cool. But I really love Brasero, lol. :D [11:47] Jordan_U: The message which comes up is: cryptsetup: lvm device name (/dev/disk/by-uuid/..............) does not begin with /dev/mapper [11:47] SpaceGhostC2C, that failed too :( [11:48] cigan_: can you verify apache2 is installed? [11:48] rocket16, lol...what's point of that love if your love can't get your work done :P [11:48] SpaceGhostC2C, Krishnandu I have performed the md5sum and they are correct [11:48] how do i do that? [11:48] ilovefairuz: thank you so much, it works :D [11:48] SAngeli: So, burn the disk no faster than 8X [11:48] cigan_: sudo apt-get install apache2 [11:49] I am doing it at 12X [11:49] schneider_: you're welcome, don't forget the tee command [11:49] SAngeli: do it at no faster than 8x [11:49] SpaceGhostC2C, let's see. It is the first time I get this issue [11:49] SAngeli, I believe that's the root of the problem. [11:49] I am trying to set up ics so that my server acts as a router for my stationary PC. I have done it many times before, but now when installing 64-bit ubuntu on the server, it doesn't work. I used the four commands here to set it up on the server: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing I am using windows XP on the other pc and it hasn't changed since the ics was working before. The internal network works since t [11:49] Always burn OS discs really slowly. [11:49] OK [11:49] zagabar: who is serving the internet? The linux or the windows? [11:49] it says "the packadge isnt there" [11:50] cigan_, what??? :O [11:50] cigan_: sudo apt-get update [11:50] translating from portuguese :D [11:51] Hey, i've installed a fresh 10.04 and from what i remember there was an option hidden somewhere that could toogle all gtk applications toolbar to be either text + graphic or graphic/text only. is that true or is my memory cheating me? [11:51] Krishnandu: Got Brasero working swiftly! I installed cdrdao and it worked. :D [11:51] b0wter_: maybe look in gconf2 ? [11:51] SpaceGhostC2C, hey isn't that package comes by default..?? [11:51] Krishnandu: What? [11:52] Krishnandu: apache? It sits on the cd, but isn't included by default. [11:52] SpaceGhostC2C, see what rocket16 posted === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [11:52] coz_ are you still there? [11:52] Krishnandu: Oh. Umm, I don't use brasero. I prefer command line goodness. :) [11:52] hello every one [11:52] SpaceGhostC2C, xD [11:53] sonny: s/he isn't /away atm. :) [11:53] , thanks, i have problem with installing libgtk2.0-dev, can you help me? [11:54] sonny: any error messages? [11:54] Hi modar [11:54] Hi Ubuntu support. 10.10 scores 10/10 for our office. Well done :-) [11:55] schola911: Grand news. :) [11:55] schola911, :) [11:55] it's dependency problem, it looks for some package newer version that used in lucid [11:55] sonny: Grab it by hand? [11:55] like zlib1g-dev 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu1: amd64 i386 [11:55] witch it's on maverick [11:56] sonny: I suggest getting the package by hand from the repositories. [11:56] sonny, yes I am here [11:56] SpaceGhostC2C it says "the network failed", i dint set up a dhcp network in the installation process, can that cause errors on the LAMP service installation/configuration? [11:56] hello. i have a older windows keyboard - 106 key including wake up, sleep and power - and i want to map meta to left win, and I want the right win key to open the ubuntu applications menu. meta was easy enough the map, but how do i make right win do what i want? [11:56] , i c thanks [11:56] cigan_, I don't think so [11:56] coz_, thanks i asked my question from SpaceGhost [11:56] SpaceGhostC2C: The linux is serving the internet. [11:56] cigan_: you have no network? Then you'll have to pop in the cd and mount it and then get the apache2 debs. [11:57] coz_ sorry to bother :) === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [11:57] sonny, ok cool...did you get the problem solved? [11:57] coz_: s/he has a problem with a package in maverick when s/he is in lucid. [11:57] SpaceGhostC2C, oh!!!!! [11:57] coz_: I suggested s/he get it by hand from the repos. [11:57] SpaceGhostC2C, cool [11:57] ok so the LAMP server failed to install and i need to do it manually? [11:57] coz_, not yet, but i find out, it looks for some package that is newer than lucid version [11:58] coz_, like zlib1g-dev 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu1: amd64 i386 [11:58] sonny, ok :) [11:58] SpaceGhostC2C, I think first time cigan_ said me he choosed to install LAMP Server while installing Ubuntu. [11:58] coz_, so should i add maverick to my source list? or it's better to download it by hand? [11:59] cigan_: or you can pop in the cd, add the cd to apt with apt-cdrom and then try running whatever the command was to install groups of stuff. I can't remember it. :( [11:59] sonny: hand. [11:59] You would mess up your install if you added it to your sources. [11:59] SpaceGhostC2C: I can neither ping DNS names nor ipaddresses outside the local subnet (from the windows pc) but I can ping local addresses. The server connected to internet, doing the ICS can ping everything [11:59] sonny, well no dont add it to the sources list... i would simply download the maverick lubuntu iso ...burn it and reinstall but be sure to back up anything you need to be fore doing this let me try to find the link hold on [12:00] , ok i listen to you, and do this, i hope my problem get solve :) thank you very much [12:00] zagabar: Which is the one connected to the internet? [12:00] sonny: Just follow dependencies. :) [12:00] sonny, here is one link http://lubuntu.net/blog/lubuntu-1004-now-available-download [12:00] coz_ thanks, i download that [12:00] zagabar: Is the server with ICS actually ICS? Did you assign ubuntu a working IP address and gateway if DHCP isn't setup locally? [12:00] coz_: What is s/he trying to do exactly? [12:01] sonny, keep that link opened until it has fnished downloading because you want to check the md5sums on that iso [12:01] SpaceGhostC2C, that I am not sure of other than libgtk.2-0-dev was not available [12:02] coz_: So, the goal is unknown? Hrm, okay. [12:02] SpaceGhostC2C, I have done as you told me and also checked the md5sum but this is always what I get (having downloaded the files off the official ubuntu website. http://img267.imageshack.us/f/immaginekqg.png/ [12:02] sonny, oh wait!! === Molly is now known as Guest4732 [12:02] sonny, that link is for ubuntu 10.04 [12:02] now either I quit or need to find a solution but I do not know what else to do [12:03] coz_ i see that, the lubuntu 10.10 is released too [12:03] SpaceGhostC2C: The ubuntu one is conencted to the internet with eth0, and the other one is connected to the ubuntu one through eth1. [12:03] Guys, I'm really worried about something. Unity is cool and all, but if Ubuntu moves to that... I'm stuck with GNOME. Problem with that is GNOME is *forcing their users to use Gnome-shell. Does anyone think we'll be able to stick with 2.3 or 2.4? [12:03] zagabar: you can use dnsmasq or dhcp to do it. [12:03] hi all [12:03] Guest4732: is this support related? [12:03] SpaceGhostC2C, si it something that has to do with the phisical CD-ROM that you think? [12:03] SAngeli: It's possible. [12:03] I have already tried 2 CD roms [12:04] Hi All [12:04] Probably not. I just had to get it off my chest. If there is a better channel, please name it. xD [12:04] SAngeli: Do you have a need for a complex partitioning scheme? [12:04] Guest4732: #ubuntu-offtopic [12:04] Diamondcite: eth0 on the server with ICS is connected to the internet with dhcp and it works. The other PC is connected to eth1 with a static address [12:04] Yes, thankyou! [12:04] SpaceGhostC2C: But shouldn't this way work too? [12:04] hello, after installing updates on ubuntu 10.10 i cant get it to boot anymore. The system hangs after following line in recovery mode /scripting/init-bottom ..... done and the a blinking cursor [12:04] any suggestions? [12:04] SpaceGhostC2C, I just want to install the server to find out if hylafax works. I guess I will try to install ubuntu desktop at this point [12:05] SAngeli: mmk, good luck.

[12:06] ekis420: I don't know the technical name, but it's like "done" [12:06] zagabar: This probably isn't proper.. but maybe for eth1 you can configure it to share the intertnet with automatic dhcp? (I don't know if all the needed packages are there) [12:06] no other options ? [12:06] zagabar: You don't need ICS, you need a dhcp server. [12:07] zagabar: I'd suggest dnsmasq. [12:07] can't read messages on my chat [12:07] * Diamondcite fades from the discussion. [12:07] though I can see messages come in [12:07] Diamondcite: No, your help is more bettererer. [12:07] Diamondcite: I don't want to walk someone through dnsmasq. [12:07] SpaceGhostC2C: I need togo.. right now, late ^_^ [12:07] wanted to change the font color, but could not find such an option [12:07] Diamondcite: D'aw. Later. [12:07] any help? [12:08] mwero, which chat..?? Empathy or IRC(xchat or something else) ?? [12:08] mwero, that was a little vague...you can't see messages, but you can see them come in? o.0 doesn't make sense....

Hit Control+H to show hidden files and delete that folder [12:10] when a msg comes in, u can see it display temporarily on the screen if empathy is minimized [12:10] hi all [12:10] SpaceGhostC2C: ctrl-d did not work [12:10] Diamondcite, SpaceGhostC2C I'll try doing it with dnsmasq then. But for clarity, here is what I am trying to achieve and how: http://pastebin.com/bSUREW3u [12:10] mwero, ok...and what shows up if you click the icon in the notification area and select the new message from the drop down menu? [12:10] slidinghorn: I have no option to remove any files is my issue. [12:10] I'm on a new Toshiba Satellite M505 S4975 and my wifi is damn slow. But even my HTC Desire is fast on the same wifi. [12:10] c0rrupt0r: rm not working? [12:11] ikonia - Hey, I don't want to know this. When I install it from Software Center from option Themes & Tweaks, then how can I apple it? [12:11] Akshitb, go to system/preferences/appearance click the "Customize" button and the new themes should be listed under the "Controls" and "Window border" tabs [12:11] I'm on a new Toshiba Satellite M505 S4975 and my wifi is damn slow. But even my HTC Desire is fast on the same wifi.

[12:11] I can see that @ slidinghorn [12:12] hi folks, I'm really enjoying 10.04 (will be upgrading next month when I got more bandwidth). So a few months ago I tried to install to my laptop and it stopped about 90-95%. I installed on another computer, it worked fine. Thing is, I have this in the laptop working now, but as the desktop had an nvidia card, and this has some laptop thing (I think it's SIS) I can't get more than 800x600 in the monitor adjustment program. Is th [12:12] ere a way I can up it to 1280x800, which I think is the maximum res on a fujitsu v5535? Sound, wireless, keyboard and trackpad all work fine btw! [12:12] ubottu: tell mwero about autocomplete [12:12] mwero, please see my private message [12:12] ikonia - Thanks :) [12:12] copynpaste: you need nvidia drivers. [12:12] mwero, ok...click the name of the person who sent you the message, and it should pop up [12:13] slidinghorn: rm: cannot remove `07-14-06_1950.jpg': Read-only file system [12:13] copynpaste: sadly SIS chip has terrible linux support [12:13] no prob with auto complete, just can't read the chat msgs that I see come in @ slidinghorn, @ [12:13] SpaceGhostC2C: was wondering if I had to download any drivers for my laptop for the wifi to work right [12:13] SpaceGhostC2C: he doesn't need nvidia drivers for an SIS chipset [12:13] mwero: use /lastlog if your client has it [12:13] i have a problem with nvidia drivers in ubuntu 10.10, it says "nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel." all the time, my card is gf9800 gt [12:13] I can open the msgs ok, I can even see my chatting pal, problem is I cant see the msg @ slidinghorn [12:13] hello, after installing updates on ubuntu 10.10 i cant get it to boot anymore. The system hangs after following line in recovery mode /scripting/init-bottom ..... done and the a blinking cursor - ctrl-d did not work... any other suggestions [12:14] c0rrupt0r, try using sudo rm (you can use -rf as a modifier if you're absolutely sure you want the file gone) [12:14] did anyone experience the same problem, did anyone solve it [12:14] True, but at least it works, and as the most strenious thing I want to do on this is watch a few movies that should be alright. I don't see how the nvidia drivers will fix the issue, as this laptop doesn't have an nvidia graphics chip. [12:14] uid0owl: that's just a warning to say it's a closed source driver, not a problem [12:14] SingAlong: you can try the easiest method, which is to get to wired network then gksudo jockey-gtk [12:14] ikonia, well, it won't load anyway, just as in this thread http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1600063 [12:14] BTW, running on 10.10 @ slidinghorn [12:14] copynpaste: nvidia will not fix anything, ignore that, it's just a limitation of SIS [12:14] uid0owl: you may wish to use nouveau instead. if it suits your need [12:14] copynpaste: I read your text wall wrong, sorry. [12:14] copynpaste: you can try creating your own xorg [12:15] SpaceGhostC2C: what does jockey=gtk do? [12:15] slidinghorn: I have used sudo rm filename....I am now just worried about removing the files on my usb drive is it going to create an issue for my drive?

Thanks, reading [12:15] also showing that I am not having permisions is my confusion [12:15] i just wonder did they decide to drop gf9800 support, was it considered too old? =( [12:16] c0rrupt0r, well you can always change permissions using sudo chmod -- only issue i think you'd have is if you accidentally delete a file you dont want to delete [12:16] uid0owl: according to that error, that driver does not support it [12:16] if you got 80 plus standard psu is it worth upgrading to 80 plus gold [12:16] c0rrupt0r: What partition type is the usb drive? [12:16] what command lists symlinks file persisson directory tree? [12:16] john38: What?

[12:17] SpaceGhostC2C: I beleive it is NTFS [12:17] SpaceGhostC2C, sounded like a bot -- just making sure :) [12:17] It seems I dont have permissions to modify NTFS file systems [12:17] c0rrupt0r: ntfs doesn't handle unix permissions too greatly. [12:17] s/greatly/well/ [12:18] SpaceGhostC2C: that only says "no proprietary drivers are used in this system". anyway to find if there are such drivers I can install?

[12:22] Hello guys. I really need a suggestion here: I have a Acer Travelmate notebook and my BT swith is not working anymore. Back on 10.4 the BT used to be enable by default at boot time, but since I`ve upgraded to 10.10 I can`t seem to make it work again. It does not show up on "lsusb" or in "lshw". My guess is that the power for the dongle is off. Is there any way I can turn it on, except from the dip-switch (which is broken). I do know it was possible in 10.4. [12:22] SingAlong: I don't actually use ubuntu on most of my machines, I'm a gentoo user... but to get my 8192SU to work, you need to enable the appropriate driver in the staging tree of the kernel config, then google for the firmware blog [12:22] SpaceGhostC2C: then probably PCI i'd imagine [12:22] SingAlong: that still doesn't stop interference [12:22] jscinoz: well, yeah. :) [12:22] ikonia, I have a broken symlink, and i need to find, the location with bad permissions..

[12:23] SingAlong: it's not necessarily problems, its just that the driver is very new [12:23] SingAlong: so its not in the default kernel, its in the staging tree [12:23] SingAlong: It's just trying to make sure the kernel has the drivers for your NIC [12:23] ikonia, i remember there was a command line app that listed the permissions of one specific symlink per folder basis [12:24] Roland: just follow the symlink, that is where the permissions will be failing [12:24] Roland: ls -la /path/to/symlink ? [12:24] Roland: if the symlink is to /usr/local/myfile.txt, look at /usr/local/myfile.txt [12:24] SpaceGhostC2C, it wasn't ls [12:24] Roland: it is ls [12:24] Roland: Hrm. I'm not sure then.

Thats the cosest driver available on that page. was wondering if that would probably fix the problem [12:30] changing one thing in my kconfig and building a new kernel is a far better solution than using a blob [12:30] SingAlong: the driver in kernel supports 8191S/SU/SE and 8192S/SU/SE [12:30] hello, I am trying to setup my smtpd ...

You can do this quickly by pressing ALT+F2 and running: metacity --replace [13:08] SpaceGhostC2C, no...I was just being a jerk :) [13:08] ActionParsnip, i cant press alt+f2 nothing happens [13:08] Coolness: is your ALT key healthy?

[13:37] Genieliu: I prefer to install Kubuntu instead, but sudo apt-get install kde-standard works [13:37] ActionParsnip, my internet does not work for more than 20 minutes [13:37] pankaj_sharma: if you have a shaky ass connection and it goes down then you will lose web access, this will happen in ANY OS [13:38] pankaj_sharma: check the router to see if the link is down [13:38] ActionParsnip, do u know how adsl modem works? [13:38] pankaj_sharma: to a degree, yes [13:39] pankaj_sharma: when you fail ping, access your router to see if the web connection is donw [13:39] My ubuntu 10.04 ... can't shut down ... only with a physical press .. that it can shutdown [13:39] hey guys i purchased a small instance in the cloud. I have everything setup and running. what is the best way to monitor resources...like cpu, hdd, memory. I don't want to all of a sudden run out of resources. I want to be proactive [13:39] where can i get info about this problem(/var/log/boot)? [13:39] tgywa: is there any error message [13:39] hii everybody [13:40] ActionParsnip, when my dsl goes down.. i cant even ping my router, i am not talkin about pinging www .. ok.. atleast it should ping the router [13:40] after updating ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 deluge is not working, worst removing it is not working, did purge, force all, remove and get "deluge is not installed" but is still pressent and working in aplications, internet [13:40] i need it to send email or txt alerts if possible.. [13:40] i need to know something about programming, can anyone point me to a good room [13:40] ##programming kuttans [13:40] if I am using ubuntu via a VM with 3d acceleration enabled, will I get good enough 3d performance to run Wolfenstein enemy territory at a plyable framerate? [13:40] pankaj_sharma: ok then when th link drops, run: dmesg | tail the output will give clues [13:40] ActionParsnip: do you use any panels on OpenBox? [13:40] Howdy [13:41] Shattered1: just te one at the bottom [13:41] hi BluesKaj [13:41] ActionParsnip, ok [13:41] ActionParsnip: by default OpenBox doesnt now have any panels, so which one you use? [13:41] hey ActionParsnip [13:41] MSN seems not to work in empathy. is there a known problem with the version of telepathy-butterfly we're using? [13:41] Shattered1: i use lxde which uses openbox as its WM [13:41] Shashank-Jain: Actually speaking, I don't know the relationship between kubuntu and KDE environment :( [13:42] Hello there. Does anyone have any experience with ASUS P5K WS motherboards and ubuntu server? Can't get ethernet to work, no drivers apparently, which is wierd because it worked out of the box with debian... [13:42] Shashank-Jain, SMBUs base address uninitialized upgrade [13:42] Here's a question for you. Upgraded to 10.10 from 10.10 RC. Everything is running fine and this isn't exactly a bug, but the thing is...whenever I shutdown, my shutdown screen is garbled with text floating everywhere. I know that if I installed 10.10 without upgrading from an RC (as I did this also with 10.04, and had the same results) the shutdown screen would look perfect. I've installed all updates and I can't help but wonder why some leftover files [13:42] from the RC have not been updated. It also makes me wonder if the system HAS a clean update. [13:42] Genieliu: kubuntu is just ubuntu but instead of gnome + metacity|compiz it uses KDE + Kwin [13:42] ActionParsnip: K thank you, i think gnome-panel is impossible to use with Openbox autostart.sh, only if start panel manually every time in terminal. [13:42] !Desktop | Genieliu [13:43] Genieliu: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together".

Will try :) [13:44] ActionParsnip: I got it. I use gnome before. If I want to change to KDE ,what about the sofeware i install in the gnome environment? [13:44] ActionParsnip: Can i use it as i did in the gnome before? [13:45] anyone know how the google chorme installer work? [13:45] Hey guys. I screwed up on my laptop ... I was installing virtual box. It complained that I didn't have privileges for /dev/vboxdrv even though I was in the group, so I just got chord off and chmodded it to 777 . Now, my wireless is broken and I need it to work ... [13:45] ActionParsnip, searching thru synaptic, I found no deb for this so that must mean it's a simple command right? Running Vanilla with no custom bootsplash. Do you know what that command would be? Is it in a config? [13:46] MPX: want the sunrise theme? [13:46] wolfdogdesigns: 777 is a really BAD idea anywhere at all [13:46] kuttans, its easier to install chromium [13:47] Hello1 [13:47] ActionParsnip, I would just like the vanilla one to work :) I like vanilla =) [13:47] kuttans, sudo apt-get install chromium [13:47] (The purple one) [13:47] kuttans: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [13:48] no coz...i want to know how the google chorme installer they provide for windows works. the online one, not the offline [13:48] MPX: sudo apt-get --reinstall install plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo [13:48] ActionParsnip. ... I know, I know. I don't usually but I'm planning to reinstall sometime next week anyway. Jzust didn't think it would screw my wireless and I need that today ... === david is now known as Guest83754 [13:48] kuttans, well you dont want the windows installer to work at all...you want th e linux installer to work [13:48] kuttans: it downloads the files to your system using the installer, then installs it [13:48] i mean, i want my web application should be run in a customised browser.........im a developer j2ee [13:48] after updating ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 deluge is not working, worst removing it is not working, did purge, force all, remove and get "deluge is not installed" but is still pressent and working in aplications, internet..........sugestions?? [13:49] Thanks a lot for the help ActionParsnip , really appreciate it [13:49] kuttans, kuttans: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [13:49] pc1: sudo apt-get --reinstall install deluge [13:49] kuttans, other wise i am not sure what you mean [13:49] so i want to know about the technique google is following to provide the chorme browser for installation in windows. The installer is only 500kb and on executing, it downloads the original chrome into temp folder and install it in the user profile. [13:49] MPX: there are lots of themes in the repos dude, just search for plymouth [13:49] LunaVorex: try this: http://techgage.com/news/repairing_a_broken_grub_2_boot-loader_on_ubuntu/ [13:49] so i want to know how to achieve that [13:50] kuttans: you could make a script I guess, you can use zenity or python to make a pretty frontend [13:51] I've just let an automatic update run on my ubuntu install and shortly afterwards heard dtmf tones like the modem was trying to dial out. Is there a venerability here which is leaving me open to hackers? [13:51] ok right...but can anyone point me for some kind of examples [13:51] ActionParsnip: does LXDE use Openbox as wm by default? [13:52] if i get a java help it will be of real help as it will avoid myself to learn another lang [13:52] kuttans, copy the chromium ppa to the sources,list anp upgate everyday [13:52] err update [13:53] Shattered1: yes, if you install LXDE you will install openbox and when you log into the LXDE session, openbox will be running [13:53] Anynone got any idea how I can get my wireless back? Or at least what to chmod /dev/kernel drivers to so I can get back to where I was? [13:53] blueskaj: i have chromium, and im on to a completely different topic regarding programming,. [13:54] ActionParsnip: is it lxde-session to start? (i start from tty) [13:54] wolfdogdesigns: there is no /dev/kernel driver (or kernel anything named folder) in /dev [13:54] My friend is asking if he need to install Okular . Because he is worried about evince to do not open some file types properly. For example doc files can not open from OpenOffice properly bu can open them. Can someone please answer me ? Thank you! [13:54] Shattered1: log off, click your user name, select lxde, log in [13:54] kuttans: i'd ask in #python [13:54] ptograming ? kuttans [13:54] servis_pz, I believe okular is kde pdf reader yes?? [13:55] ActionParsnip: ok, nvm. xD [13:55] yeah blueskaj [13:55] is there a good java room you know of? [13:55] kuttans: ##java [13:55] Shattered1: why "nvm"? Its not hard [13:55] ActionParsnip. I know theres no file like that, I meant general kernel drivers in dev. Such as /dev/vboxdrv [13:55] programing what kuttans? [13:55] coz_: yes it is kde reader but we can install it also. [13:55] ActionParsnip: I don't use gdm or such (edited init.d files) [13:55] ActionParsnip: I start openbox out from tty. [13:55] servis_pz, yes you can install it ... it will also install many kde libraries and dependencies as well [13:55] ActionParsnip it complains about "Duplicate sources.list" it did a install but checking the version is still 1.2.3 not 1.3.0 [13:56] im programming a web application. i dont want the user to use any kind of browser , rather i want the client should use a customised browser i provide [13:56] wolfdogdesigns: http://pastebin.com/sm7ahZAw theres mine [13:56] Shattered1: i see [13:56] ActionParsnip: Just wanted to verify /usr/bin/*-session to use in .xinitrc file [13:56] Shattered1: let me ssh over [13:56] ActionParsnip: lxsession, found out. [13:57] ActionParsnip: I don't have ssh installed. xD [13:57] Shattered1: no, i meant to my media pc [13:57] ##java says something about invite only [13:57] kuttans, take alook at webkit [13:57] coz_: we can install i know. but we are asking if there is a possibility that evince to do not open a filetype and okular will ? [13:57] ActionParsnip: ah ok [13:57] coz_: that is our question... [13:57] Shattered1: http://pastebin.com/CASyQDvH [13:57] servis_pz, oh I see.... well let me check in okular hold on [13:58] kuttans: then you need to register yor nick [13:58] coz_: ok tahnks for your interest! [13:58] oh ok [13:58] pc1: huh? [13:58] how? [13:58] ActionParsnip: Yeah, thanks. Installing lxde. [13:59] servis_pz, which file types are you hoping okular opens? [13:59] you wrote pc1: sudo apt-get --reinstall install deluge [13:59] Hi there! [13:59] kuttans, google-linux is your friend [13:59] ist a room blueskaj? [13:59] ActionParsnip, could you paste that link again. I'm trying to do this on my Frieda iPad and it's not that easy, also can't scroll up [13:59] How will I know if all my hardware on my new laptop is supported by Ubuntu 10.10 [13:59] hey [13:59] Scarra3: boot a livecd in it [14:00] servis_pz, http://okular.kde.org/formats.php [14:00] pc1: i see, then you'll need to check your /etc/apt/sources.list as well as any lists in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to see if there are any duplicate repos [14:00] anyone has experience with ubuntu on an ASUS EEE PC 1101HA ? [14:00] no kuttans it's a search engine for linux [14:00] hi [14:00] wolfdogdesigns: wolfdogdesigns: http://pastebin.com/sm7ahZAw theres mine [14:00] oh ok [14:00] erUSUL: I am butr how am I suppose to know if the graphics card works, hdmi, bluetooth, etc... [14:00] can anyone tell me how to view previous posts in this irc channel [14:00] actually im on even able to frame a proper sentence to search this [14:01] !log | rigved [14:01] rigved: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [14:01] !uptime [14:01] Windows7 Uptime: 4days 17hrs 51mins 42secs Best: 6days 7hrs 58mins 41secs [14:01] WindowsVista Uptime: 8wks 1day 9hrs 13mins 7secs Best: 8wks 1day 9hrs 13mins 7secs [14:01] WindowsVista Uptime: 3wks 3days 21hrs 4mins 3secs Best: 3wks 3days 21hrs 4mins 3secs [14:01] mmm... my ubuntu-server 10.04 boots then hangs at "ureadahead-other main process terminated with status 4, recovery mode hangs at the same place, last thing I did was apt-get upgrade and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [14:01] coz_: my friend is using many filetypes because of his job. But i told him some filetypes (which i look from help files of evince and okular) . they can open the same filetypes. but don't forget openoffice supports doc files too but it can never open properly %100 like ms office. so that is why i am asking you if evince and okular is on the same level to open their filetypes. [14:01] synical: please, next time dont bother [14:01] Scarra3: in livecd you can test all the hardware. run a 3d app? enable desktop effects? try to connetc to a BT device. [14:01] Which command can help me know uptime of a system? [14:01] is there a way to get more verbosiness ? [14:01] Scarra3: check the output of « sudo lshw » and see if everything gets a driver associted with it [14:01] Well my touched pad isn't supported on the laptop [14:02] TiCPU_: if you wanted a desktop, why did you install the server OS?

[14:02] ActionParsnip: and it worked on the last install, and to get SDL on KVM [14:03] servis_pz, did you look here ? yes? http://okular.kde.org/formats.php also ms office files open generally 100% in abiword [14:03] I was close. Thanks ActionParsnip, Aemaeth [14:03] TiCPU_: you are misunderstanding the terms, the server is a server with no X server. This makes it more secure (less services running) as well as lower resources used. The desktop will install the desktop OS as you expect. There is nothing stopping you from installing the desktop OS then installing LAMP + SSH on it and running it as a server === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero [14:04] ActionParsnip: sure, works both way around, still doesn't fix it === xuekan is now known as rabbit_kan [14:04] I guess I'll just reinstall, got no time to debug this morning [14:04] TiCPU_: i suggest you install the desktop OS, much easier [14:05] ActionParsnip: last time it jsut worked, I reinstalled because I corrupted to root FS by a mistake of mine, but now.. it just does not make sense [14:05] I guess it's because I did upgrade after install ubuntu-desktop [14:05] * TiCPU_ renames root to root2 and reinstalls. [14:06] I love LVM [14:06] Hi all, where does MC check if "external view" is turned off? (I wish to change it) [14:06] is ubuntu10.04 can be the host system for LFS? [14:06] coz_: first sorry for my english. i think i can not explain you the problem. i knwo which filetypes can open okular and evince. they are same filetypes (at least many of them). but the questions is not that. the questiosn is : they both supports the same filetypes at the same level ? [14:06] 你好 [14:06] rabbit_kan: I guess almost any linux system with kernel 2.6 can [14:07] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72HcTx2yAds&feature=related [14:07] coz_: because every program says that we upport bla bla bla formats but they can not support them propely ...

[14:08] servis_pz, ooo darn I dont speak that at all :( but all I can suggest is to install okular and test or abiword etc you can always uninstall them cleanly [14:08] Its not a systematic touchpad its an alps [14:08] coz_: they are nıt unistalling cleanly :D anyway :) [14:08] coz_: thank for your interest...

[14:36] * Sterist is away: bZzt ~ beep [14:37] u did not happen to stumble upon a tutorial for making the GMA 500 chip work? [14:37] coz_ i just want the program gone and install new [14:37] jafar: a reinstall shouldn't take long.. if you have a separate /home directory then your data will be safe so long as you don't format it. [14:37] sipior: http://pastebin.com/ZbAxLNa5 [14:37] jafar: that's an intel chip right? [14:37] yes [14:38] DragonKeeper: execute: rm -i folder/* folder/.??* [14:38] umashanthi: when was the last time you did an "apt-get update"? [14:38] jafar: hang on again and I'll look. [14:38] its realy anoying if peeps drop off the server :( [14:38] thank you [14:38] umashanthi: also, can i assume this is ubuntu 10.10? [14:39] DragonKeeper: if you know, what you are doing and do not want the questions, leave the "-i" out [14:39] hi guys, can any1 help me w/ this error compiling the kernel? [14:39] sipior: This is 10.04. I did it recently. But remember it was not completed that time [14:39] drivers/dsp/syslink/multicore_ipc/gate.c: In function ‘gate_enter_system’: [14:39] sipior: I'll do it now and see [14:39] ok cheers [14:39] drivers/dsp/syslink/multicore_ipc/gate.c:38: error: implicit declaration of function ‘local_irq_save’\ === SortiE|A is now known as SortiE [14:40] jafar: here's the latest info.. posted in Oct of this year. Beyond this I don't have much else to offer. good luck. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/ [14:40] I installed 10.10 on my scsi workstation but it won't boot off the hard drive - can I make a cd that will boot from sda1 so I can repair grub? [14:40] thanks a lot [14:40] have a nice daa [14:40] day [14:40] Hi All. I have a weird problem with the keyboard layout in Ubuntu 10.10. I added two layouts: USA International (Dead AltGr Keys) and Germand. I moved USA to the top. However after every reboot the German layout is active. Sometimes the keyboard layout thing in the panel even shows USA but still in realityh it is the German layout that is active. How can I ensure that on logon the USA layout gets activated? === kthomas_vh is now known as kthomas [14:41] hi guys, can any1 help me w/ this error compiling the kernel? http://paste.ubuntu.com/519683/ [14:41] !who | jafar for the next time :-) [14:41] !lxde [14:41] jafar for the next time :-): As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:41] !lubuntu [14:41] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [14:41] !LXDE [14:41] lol, he knows about lubuntu but not lxde [14:41] !tab ubottu got it [14:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:41] Shattered1: factoidsarent case sensitive [14:41] !tab ubottu [14:42] !tab [14:42] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[14:42] ActionParsnip: i'm under lxde right now :D [14:42] hi guys, can any1 help me w/ this error compiling the kernel? http://paste.ubuntu.com/519683/ [14:42] ActionParsnip: tho not sure how to change keyboard shortcuts and how to update menu after i edited it. [14:42] jafar: type the person's name you are. Talking to so it highlights. Use tab to complete the nick [14:43] jafar: type the first few characters of a nick and hit TAB .. it should finish the nick totally or give you nick options. [14:43] grub says "File not found" and drops me into a grub recover console [14:43] Shattered1: I believe you can edit /usr/share/applications files to edit the menu. [14:43] izinucs: test [14:43] ahh [14:43] :D [14:43] thanks [14:43] ActionParsnip: There is a button "Main menu" in "preferences" [14:43] jafar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:43] ActionParsnip: But menu still has "old shortcuts" i deleted in it. [14:44] bye [14:44] Shattered1: I don't use the menu much so I'm not much use here [14:44] maybe I should try installing lilo? [14:44] ActionParsnip: Did you edit shortcuts? [14:44] ActionParsnip: Keyboard ones. [14:45] Shattered1: no but I know you can edit the items in that folder to modify the menu [14:45] anyone here know anything about grub? [14:45] Shattered1: I don't use keyboard shortcuts. [14:45] ah, [14:45] !grub2 | twoten Seen this yet? [14:45] twoten Seen this yet?: 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 [14:45] hersey! [14:45] ActionParsnip: K, will solve on my own. I like panel and openbox. [14:45] no shortcuts? how do you survive?? [14:46] Shattered1: outside the defaults. Ithink there's a config file in $HOME some place that defines them [14:46] ActionParsnip: Less ram than gnome-pnale with openbox. [14:46] Shattered1: try asking in #lubuntu [14:46] that's good, yes I have spent several hours looking at grub2 docs [14:46] Shattered1: definately lxde is a lot lighter and still as functional [14:46] * /nickserv INFO [14:47] Imho ;) [14:47] ActionParsnip: Yea, it's awesome. [14:47] ActionParsnip: Seems like everything is sleeping @ #lubuntu xD [14:48] Shattered1: could try #lxde too [14:48] i am trying to uninstall old deluge but this is not posible, i get "deluge no such program" but its still there, i tryed purge, force all, autoclean and the likes, nothing helps, is there some magic trick to uninstall programs that will not uninstall the common way?? [14:48] ActionParsnip: seems like.. same.. [14:49] what download manager do you guys use in Chromium? [14:49] oo reyizler burda bb [14:49] pc1: if you find the status file for apt and delete the entry, the OS will "forget" its installed [14:49] Hi [14:49] Not sure if related [14:49] sipior: I'm having some issues in doing apt-get update http://pastebin.com/RLMjdJy9 Pls guide me if possible [14:49] shang: I use the one which. Is built into the browser, works fine [14:49] Can anyone help me make Apache & MySQL under Ubuntu take less RAM and swap [14:50] My system is crashing all the time [14:50] shang, chromium has it's own download manager [14:50] ActionParsnip: but if I want to break up the big file into pieces to download them at the same time, is there an extension for that? [14:50] umashanthi: change the archive location you're trying to pull files from, the server you've specified is not reachable at the moment. [14:50] ActionParsnip: status file? [14:50] BluesKaj: but if I want to break up the big file into pieces to download them at the same time, is there an extension for that? [14:50] shang: I know uget exists as a download but not sure about breaking stuff up [14:51] GuyLewin, The only way to really control how much space a program takes up is to write that program differently. How much ram / swap are they taking up? Perhaps there is a leak [14:51] ActionParsnip: um.... ok thanks [14:51] sipior: I'm getting this for past few weeks. Any idea about a possible location? [14:51] edbian: They are taking all the swap, got some RAM but apache just crashes after 10 days of running [14:51] I have to manually hard restart [14:52] GuyLewin, how much is all? 128MB? 4Gb ? [14:52] pc1: its a text file listing all installed apps and such. I suggest you back it up before editting. I am not sure of the location or name of the file but I know it exists [14:52] shang: I've seen people mention jdownloader too [14:52] :) edbian: 1GB RAM [14:52] GuyLewin, Use an older version of one or both. [14:52] edbian: Well, I'll try [14:53] Though I was sure there was a way in the conf of each one of them [14:53] GuyLewin: buy RAM. You can double your RAM for the price of a pack of smokes [14:53] To limit some functions [14:53] ActionParsnip: right, but if they are integrated into chromium, that would be awesome!! :) [14:53] GuyLewin, There is a way to tell synaptic "use this older version" I'm not sure how. I know it can be done. [14:53] ActionParsnip: It's hosted @ RackSpace server [14:53] It costs 2x [14:53] GuyLewin, If there is a memory leak it is likely not going to make a difference what features are turned on [14:53] shang: uget watches the clipboard for file url copys [14:53] edbian: How can I know if it's a memory leak? [14:53] GuyLewin: yikes [14:54] GuyLewin, Do the processes continually get bigger and bigger with no end in sight? It's a leak. Or you could look at the code :) [14:54] edbian: Yeah, does get bigger and bigger. What can I do about it? :P\ [14:55] GuyLewin, Use an older version. Fix the source code. [14:55] sipior: How can I find another location? [14:55] GuyLewin, gotta go! Good luck [14:55] GuyLewin: does it leak in specific scenarios? Like while some of your code runs? [14:55] ActionParsnip: Well, I'm generally running just WordPress installations [14:55] hi, i know ubuntu dev put the memory hog beam.smb process on high priority ... but until there's a fix, is there anything i can do to get relief from this major annoyance? [14:55] Nothing special [14:56] I got some system logs [14:56] ActionParsnip: the answer seems to be "chromeget", thanks! [14:56] Shang: cool :) [14:56] umashanthi: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [14:57] ActionParsnip: "Oct 25 11:51:20 Interbody kernel: [263447.030328] Out of memory: kill process 21874 (apache2) score 51562 or a child" [14:57] Happens about 10 days after I restart [14:58] ActionParsnip: do you mean apt.conf? [14:58] GuyLewin: i'd ask in #httpd too [14:58] Good idea [14:58] BRB asking there [14:58] pc1: not sure, if it contains a tonne of text about all the packages you may have gold [14:59] ActionParsnip: you know, what I reinstalled for, just got the same problem after going step by step, I added my data partition to fstab and got stuck to the same line at boot, without desktop installed [14:59] now I just need to debug that [14:59] sorry, it's beam.smp, not beam.smb [14:59] ActionParsnip: They blamed #php [14:59] XD === cell0 is now known as cell1 [15:08] hey, i'm trying to ssh into a remote box, but i can't seem to set the username to use, is this normal? [15:08] To remouve the remaining grub2 on my windows XP hdd, should I just boot the XP install cd, go in recovery mode and fix the mbr ? [15:08] I have a neighbors Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7013 that has Windows 7 on it. I just removed 23 virus's out of it. I told him that I would install Ubuntu to run side by side with Windows. But when I get to the option screen and choose to install Ubuntu, it freezes. I tried both CD and USB and got the same results. I'm not sure if there is anything wrong with the BIOS. I tried upgrading but still the same results. Any ideas? [15:09] AceKing: you trying the Wubi install? or a true dual boot install? [15:09] True dual boot [15:09] evening [15:10] With the new pulseaudio and skype config, I can only select "pulseaudio" an input or output [15:10] lieuwe[49ft]: how are you trying to set the username? with the "-l" switch? [15:10] izinucs, I was wondering if I pulled the HDD and put it in my laptop, installed Ubuntu, if it would work when I put the drive back in his machine? [15:10] if I want to use my headphones for conversations but speakers for ringtone, how can I do that with pulseaudio? [15:10] nevery confused [15:10] LunaVorax: take a look at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622828 [15:10] AceKing: you might need to use the alternate cd and not the live cd.. can you ctrl+alt+F2 and get to a tty.. type dmesg and look at the end for clues as to why it's locked kup [15:11] AceKing: it might work that way but no gurantee.. [15:11] so I upgraded to 10.10 and lost dual monitor support. My xorg.conf is intact, it just mirrors now instead of spans. Video output is very slow (dragging windows is very choppy for instance). using radeon driver, KMS disabled. What do I need to do to reconfigure spanning monitors again [15:12] I have a hp pavilion 2112br, and I'm having trouble using hdmi, no sound and the audio output when using the TV via HDMI === pacifico is now known as user213412 [15:12] what's noveau? does it support 3d? [15:12] Please, I'd need someone to help me, who's using nautilus-elementary and Ubuntu Maverick [15:12] izinucs, The only thing I was worried about was the dual booting part. He needs Windows for his streets and maps program. I know I installed Ubuntu on a different laptop before and switched drives to another and it worked. [15:13] hi guys [15:13] hey, how do i browse files on a samba server using ubuntu? [15:14] lieuwe[49ft]: connect to it i.e. using nautilus & browse as you do localy [15:14] Oh thanks AndrewMC ! I'm going to try this asap [15:14] Someone did the upgrade on chrome 6 to 7 and is in trouble in sync? [15:14] AceKing: streets and maps is nice.. openstreetmap is getting there but not totally done.. it would be a good substitute.. it's not going to hurt anything to try the install that way.. but you can expect to do the initial update via terminal or tty if anything breaks. [15:14] odb|fidel_: how exactly? if the hostname is server, what do i type? [15:15] location should be something like: smb://host/share [15:15] izinucs, Thanks. I'm going to give that a shot. I appreciate your help [15:15] i have a question,,,, few days ago i saw a video on youtube in which cursor was surrounded by flames,,,,, that was linux os ,,,,, can anybody tell me how to do flames around cursor in ubuntu 10.10 [15:16] odb|fidel_: thanks [15:16] lallu_: you need to enable compiz desktop effects for that [15:16] I have a hp pavilion 2112br, and I'm having trouble using hdmi, no sound and the audio output when using the TV via HDMI [15:16] i have enabled compiz but nothing happen [15:17] Someone did the upgrade on chrome 6 to 7 and is in trouble in sync? [15:18] ok, let's try a diff approach: can desktopcouch be uninstall without affecting apps that use couchdb like gwibber and lernid? i want to get rid of the beam.smp memory hog problem [15:18] lallu_: I think this is in the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package, do you have that? [15:18] if I want to use my headphones for conversations but speakers for ringtone, how can I do that with pulseaudio? [15:18] with skype [15:19] yes i have but there is option to create flames around cursor [15:19] supernicko: there's no way for the system to tell the difference between ringtone and conversation.. so it's a manual switch at the end of your conversation to the speakers [15:19] izinucs, even though there is the option in skype to select the output for both? [15:20] sorry, ringtone might be a bad term. The ringing when a call is received === xavier is now known as Guest65791 [15:20] lallu_: you'll want to enable "show mouse" in ccsm [15:20] Hi! No sound since last kernel update. Apparently alsa doesnt recognise my card, anybody can help? [15:20] sipior: Cool! Thanks! solved many of my problems :) [15:21] umashanthi: glad it's working for you [15:21] supernicko: well.. if skype has the option great.. not sure how that changes the way most audio cards work.. [15:21] anyone using the nautilus-elementary on Maverick? would be glad if someone could try if "send to" works [15:21] Guest65791: see if looking up this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [15:22] gaberlunzie: thx [15:22] izinucs, in the past with alsa, you could select the headphone output and speaker outputs separately. But now with pulseaudio you get this one "pulseaudio" device. Was wondering if anyone else had managed to set it up right. [15:22] hey, i want to install an automated download service(http ftp bittorrent) on my homeserver, but haven't found any ready-made solutions, could anyone give me some pointers? [15:22] !botsnack [15:22] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [15:23] supernicko: sorry I don't have the answer.. [15:23] izinucs, no problem :) [15:23] hi, I'm trying to install some windows programs (mainly games) with wine. It works fine but It always open on my left screen of my dual screen setup. When I try to drag it to my main screen, the window simply disappear, how can I solve this? [15:23] until next time [15:23] ActionParsnip: finally my RAID wasn't starting correctly at start so mount failed so boot failed. [15:24] Guest65791: sct 9 onwards should be particularly helpful [15:25] gaberlunzie: apparently my ALSA doesn't use the correct model. I am running the alsa diagnostic script currently [15:26] what is this [15:27] anyone here [15:27] this is an ubuntu support channel [15:27] I think [15:27] This is the official Ubuntu Support channel [15:27] Hello, quick question: I have removed some packages from Ubuntu that I don't want, but are required by ubuntu-desktop. Is there a SAFE way, in future, to upgrade without Ubuntu reinstalling all of the stuff I removed? Every release, I end up having to uninstall Empathy, etc. This time, I removed hundreds of packages, and I would rather not have to do it all again:) Please help. [15:28] thx [15:28] Would it be stupid to try using the libvirt (and supporting code) from maverick on a lucid system? [15:28] Cyberkilla: I don't think so... [15:28] Guest65791: did u run aplay to detect sound card etc in the instructions and make sure ur audio grp is empty? [15:29] happyibob: depends on the dependecy from libvert [15:29] I'm running without AppArmor and storing my VMs on an encrypted partition. [15:29] happyibob: if it is libc6, then its a big problem normally [15:29] Guest65791: also make sure the card order is what u desire [15:29] Hi all. After upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 the boot up is now blue and displaying "kubuntu" while I'd expect to see "Ubuntu". How can I fix this ? [15:29] how do you attend the UDS remotely ? [15:29] GhostLyrics: There must be a way. Otherwise, there is a serious problem with this package management system. :-( [15:29] which channel should i log on to ? [15:30] gaberlunzie: aplay doesnt work (no card detected) Same in gnome-volume, no card detected [15:30] Guest65791: ok, that's beyond me then, sorry [15:30] G__81: #ubuntu-uds [15:30] Cyberkilla: normally I'd just say "update-manager -d" on the other hand, you could edit the repo lines, though I'm quite sure that this is not an intelligent solution [15:31] GhostLyrics: I read somewhere that ubuntu is patched to install ubuntu-desktop prior to the dist-upgrade. Surely there is a way to skip that step without too many side-effects. [15:31] After the debacle of Xen in 8.04, and now the joy of libvirt not actually being able to access my disk image files on 10.04, I'm beginning to wonder if these LTS releases are just meant to get my hopes of a stable system up and then crush them when I realize that the stable system will NEVER get virtualization bugs fixed in it. :( [15:32] gaberlunzie: but the card is physically there as lspci -v detects it [15:32] gaberlunzie: np thx for the link [15:32] Guest65791: yea, go thru it step by step ... it's pretty comprehensive [15:33] GhostLyrics: Thinking about it, if I actually *wanted* to only have ubuntu-standard, or ubuntu-minimal installed, I'd have thought it would respect my wishes. Anyway, I appreciate your help. It's quite a difficult question to get answered, as everybody blindly says, "it's just a metapackage, you don't need to worry about it", thereby completely ignoring the actual problem I'm describing :P [15:34] Cyberkilla: i've been in the situation before ^^ [15:34] Is there a channel devoted to lucid? [15:34] #lucid has 3 people, so that's probably not it. [15:35] happyibob: nope [15:35] this channel deals with support for current versions of Ubuntu (including Lucid) [15:35] Hello, I have the Mobility Radeon 9600 M10 graphics card on my laptop and there are no proprietary drivers for it because it lost support a little while back. I was wondering if there are any drivers I can use for it. [15:35] Guest65791: also keep in mind that pulseaudio often overrides alsa, eg, if use alsamixer -Dhw to bypass pulseaudio [15:36] Anybody know if this is going to be the typical way of "fixing" virtualization bugs on Lucid: Changed in libvirt (Ubuntu Lucid): assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) → nobody [15:36] is it possible to resize a ext3 fs? [15:36] rather I want to expand a partition [15:36] gaberlunzie: do you suggest I try to use alsamixer INSTEAD of pulseaudio? [15:37] happyibob: complaints in #ubuntu-offtopic, if you please. [15:37] gaberlunzie: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [15:37] arg [15:37] gaberlunzie: Problems with Ubuntu audio? [15:37] sipior: OK, thanks [15:37] jshriver: yes, it's absolutely possible. [15:37] venilsurya: no, me [15:38] jshriver: gparted is a handy tool for that sort of thing. [15:38] Guest65791: hmm, alsamixer should be there by default, i think ... might have to install it [15:38] is there a maximum rootsize that vmbuilder can handle? [15:38] venilsurya: yea, Guest65791 is having problems [15:39] It's the third time I have this issue since pulseaudio arrived. Each time I manage to change enough things to make it run, but can't understand the issue [15:39] Is there an option somewhere so the copy/cut buffer isn't deleted when the source app is closed? [15:39] sipior: alrighty will look around for my last ubuntu live CD then :) looks like gparted is part of the base system [15:39] majnoon: not to my knowledge, but why would you need a massive one anyway? [15:39] tyvm [15:39] Hello; weird question: I have a service that's not starting at reboot (the service is Subsonic). It's in rc.d, but there's no log of it starting or trying to start. It starts manually just fine. Might removing and reinstalling fix this? Is there something else to check? [15:39] Hello, I have the Mobility Radeon 9600 M10 graphics card on my laptop and there are no proprietary drivers for it because it lost support a little while back. I was wondering if there are any drivers I can use for it. [15:39] when I create a vm with a rootsize of 1.5TB it starts, but will not start networking and possibly other things [15:39] Guest65791: i actually have pulseaudio uninstalled on my system and use alsa fully with no probs .... but make sure ur alsa setup is in order before doing anything like that! [15:39] but after i create the same image with a rootsize of 1TB it works fine [15:40] gaberlunzie: I tried that, but after uninstalling pulseaudio following some tutos, I was unable to get the sound. Is there a specidif way to configure alsa? === akgraner` is now known as akgraner [15:41] Hi,I'am a newbie here :) I have squid2.7stable3 on ubuntu jaunty ,please how do I upgrade to stable9 ? [15:41] Guest65791: Have you tried installing and pavucontrol and unlinking the channels? [15:41] alternatively, is there a way to resize the VM images after they are created? [15:41] Guest65791: That worked for me === Enissay[Away] is now known as Enissay [15:42] Guest65791: just install alsa from the repo ... esp alsa-base [15:42] hello [15:42] ubuntu gets more and more users, and this channel is more and more busy . [15:42] 大家好 [15:42] Does anyone know anything about getting a driver for the Mobility Radeon 9600 M10 [15:42] 不知道 [15:43] gaberlunzie: alsa-base is installed, just checked it [15:43] I believe that it lost support a couple years ago [15:43] v_v: your idle ramblings do little to clear the clutter. [15:43] Guest65791: Do you have alsamixer? [15:43] Guest65791: for starters, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils [15:44] Guest65791: ok, got alsa-utils?

[17:32] megh: OK - I didn't see anything that addressed the question, so I guess I must just be reading past it, I'll keep digging [17:32] b636bc7ca: do what you want, of course. service makes it simpler to query your init scripts en masse, but it's just passing its options along to the script in /etc/init.d [17:33] sipior: Actually, the other way around - at least, on 10.10 [17:33] I recently backed up my system so that I could restore it on a fresh, *encrypted* install.

[19:16] lancesrage, you can try formatting the drive you want to store it on with another format that supports larger files than FAT32 [19:17] could someone check this error: http://uppix.net/5/6/3/a505ee1412a7fba8f599e3836fefd.png [19:17] th3hate: how long has it been sitting there?

[19:24] lancesrage: good luck [19:25] Anyone with ubuntu 10.10 being able to record sound directly from the sound device? Used to use outrec but stopped working since update... [19:25] <utilitytrack>: it's been like that since 10.04 to 10.10 upgrade [19:25] lancesrage, I don't think that will work, because FAT32 doesn't support files that large :S [19:25] its only 12gb it only takes like 3hours [19:26] what's a good program to tag music that has CDDB or pulling from amazon support? [19:26] Ours: Oh, sorry. didn't notice your answer.

[19:27] lancesrage, that doesn't even make sense... but it sounds like it might work then :D [19:27] I have a Panasonic DP 8035 (biz hub) [19:27] Ours: see $ man fstab [19:27] utilitytrack: ok, I'll check it out, thx [19:27] m0tan, did you look at their official site if they have any linux drivers? [19:27] lancesrage: thats not a os-limitation, its filesystem related. the max filesize on vfat (fa32) cannot exceed 4GB without breaking things [19:27] hi guys [19:28] !pm | sresu [19:28] sresu: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:28] anyone know how to completely remove a program install from source code please? [19:28] sometimes when i try to save a file to a mounted cifs drive vim tells me 'WARNING: The file has changed since reading it!!!' even though i know no one else is working on it. Why is this? [19:28] I can't find a specific linux driver for that model, but there are drivers for the previous version (DP 8025) which is in the same model set [19:28] but it won't print. Says the doc was sent [19:28] Alexandre: Debian/Ubuntu works only on a subset of machines architectures as compared to GNU/Debian [19:28] utilitytrack: I'm checking the fstab file, I have double entries there, looks like the right place to fix this problem, thanks [19:29] Also tried a generic PCL driver and no dice. [19:29] Alexandre: maybe your computer does not support ubuntu [19:29] m0tan, you should look for a specific driver for that model online then [19:29] how can i install a .package file - or is it a mistake unpacking a tar.gz file ? [19:29] llutz as i know but i have a 6gb movie i can watch on this drive and it is working but this 12gb just stops i dont get it [19:29] llutz: Are you sure about the syntax? What will "now + 5 hours" do? [19:30] cedriczg: thanks, I've been looking but so far nada. Just seeing if there was another way using generic drivers or something else. [19:30] lancesrage: ls -l /the/6gbfile plaease [19:30] sresu: it gives the time 5h from now [19:30] lancesrage, llutz and I don't get it either... how you ever managed to get a 6 GB file onto a FAT32 drive is beyond us [19:30] got it setup on a windows print server too, but haven't tried pointing to it, i figured it'd have even more trouble with it. [19:30] PRINTER, is there a cache for the print jobs that you must empty? [19:30] llutz: Can that now be scheduled as system uptime = 0? [19:30] Mav_Merekat i wish i knew [19:31] llutz: Is it like that? [19:31] sresu: "now" means "actual time when command is issued" [19:31] m0tan, not sure generic drivers will help you. Good luck in the research. Sometimes it's better before buying a printer to ensure they have drivers available for linux. Brother printers are one of those brands [19:31] sresu: and since /etc/rc.local is run at boottime, it will shutdown 5h later [19:32] cedriczg: ah i didnt buy it, it's in my workplace, just trying to connect to it, just happens to be the closest one to me. [19:32] llutz: Ok.. so as soon as system is started, it will shut it down after 5 hours for sure. Right? [19:32] sresu: but if you try to keep your kids from the computer, thats a social problem and cannot be solved by technical means :) [19:32] m0tan, yes. I supposed so... [19:32] lancesrage: 6GB movie on FAT32 it's not possible :)) [19:32] llutz if i could format the drive and not lose all my data i would but its not an option atm i would have to get another 1tb hdd and format it as ntfs but im broke atm [19:32] I've asked this question a few times, but does anyone know how to disable keystroke combinations that Thunderbird usually listens for? [19:32] lancesrage: ls -l /the/6gbfile plaease [19:32] quick question: having an old Nvidia card, (MX 440 SE 8x AGP, 128 MB) and the nvidia-96 package not working with the new X server... will I be best off with the nouveau, vesa, or nv driver? [19:32] im trying to remove ubuntu so i can install xubuntu.. im using the unistall script for apt you guys pointited out but it keeps telling me it cant find some of the packages. isnt there a way to have it just not worry about those? [19:33] llutz: No thats not my objective either [19:33] Anyone using ubuntu maverick and able to record sound from the sound device (not microphone just output) ? [19:33] As far as I know /dev/dsp is missing in the new kernel release... [19:34] Not sure if that may result in the output recording to fail... [19:34] sresu: forget my solution, it has a big error in... my bad, sorry [19:34] lancesrage: it's not about the capacity of the drive, it's about the filesystem being able to understand a file that is > 2GB, just wont work on Fat32 or VFAT or FAT16 or FAT anything. NTFS or EXT or JFS or HFS no problem. [19:34] llutz: Whats the error? [19:34] sresu: when running shutdown-command, no further logins will be possible [19:34] m0tan you mean 4gb not 2 right? [19:34] llutz: Thats fine with me [19:34] sresu: so it will shutdown, but nobody can login [19:35] ah yeah you're right 4GB [19:35] llutz: Fine.. but it will anyways shutdown after 5 hours right? [19:35] sresu: it should [19:35] llutz: Is it risky? [19:35] cedriczg: You have a problems with sound recording? [19:35] m0tan lol i was like wth i know i have a ton of 4gb files [19:35] lol [19:35] sresu: you may lockout yourselv [19:36] lol [19:36] i'm surprised that the file even saved/downloaded at 6gb, my guess is it's corrupt after that 4gb [19:36] probally === noisewaterphdmac is now known as noisewaterphd [19:37] m0tan, that's what md5's are for [19:37] lancesrage, the 6 GB file is a video, right? are you able to watch the entire video OK?

But since upgrade to maverick it stopped working. It records no sound [19:37] lancesrage, can you play it on the PS3? [19:37] guys opting for UbuntuStudio is a nice idea rather than going for Ubuntu? [19:38] Mav_Merekat no its mkv format [19:38] llutz: No, I want this specific thing to be automatic. If you think its not risky, I would try it. As it deals with booting process, should I really try this??

[20:44] well I'm putting it on a netbook with no cd drive so its all gonna have to be usb [20:44] Jefus, or a usb drive, and a system that you can use to write to the usb drive [20:44] myself 10.04 is good my personal opinion ...what about flash drive [20:45] !unr > Jefus [20:45] Jefus, please see my private message [20:45] Hi, would you please tell me of a good software for Ubuntu that can solve mathematic operations (equations)? [20:45] hello all [20:45] Jefus, maybe check out that UNR stuff, this also might be interesting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks [20:45] is it possible to install an older version of the kernel and pick between that one and the newest one through grub on boot? i'm running maverick... [20:45] Celtibero: wolframalpha :) [20:45] Celtibero: otherwise maple I guess [20:45] im having a problem with ubuntu, my control an shif button stops to work [20:46] anybo i has an i ea of what happening/ [20:46] eaerth, i did it with Intrepid and Jaunty, i think. it isn't recommend, but i think all you need to do is install linux headers === Rai is now known as R41 [20:46] Seidos: I'm gonna give 10.04 a try [20:46] Celtibero: does it have to be free? otherwise mathematica is very good [20:46] qorep Can those solve simple fractions operations? [20:46] tranq: you here? [20:46] Celtibero: guess you could always torrent it [20:46] I'm going for netbook remix cos, well i was looking forward to getting it going on my new little machine :) [20:46] Celtibero: octave or R would be the free alternatives. [20:46] Celtibero: wolframalpha can, and that's right in your browser [20:46] yes === manfred is now known as LordCrimson [20:46] m here shcherbak [20:46] seidos: i'm a little fresh with linux still... uhm... if you're not busy might you give me a few tips on that? ;S [20:46] Jefus, don't give up. a working system is worth while if at all possible.

[20:47] seidos: lol, alright then. [20:47] i'm quite new to it [20:47] help [20:47] shcherbak: a guy is trying to help [20:47] utilitytrack Can that one solve operations with fractions? [20:47] shcherbak: hold on [20:47] utilitytrack: is the octave symbolic package good? [20:48] Does any of you how to solve equations with openoffice math? [20:48] reason i'm wondering about an older kernel is because i'm having quite a few problems and read a few people booted with a different kernel and they went away? [20:48] has anyone had issues with the current Kernal upgrade for 10.10 (64-bit) and ATI 3650 cards and the OSS driver?? i don't get video after rebooting but everything seems to work (i can hear the login sounds if i blindly log in) [20:48] who do i change the banner in ubuntu 10.04 openssh server? [20:48] Hey there - has anyone ever seen a problem like this? (XRequest.134: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) 0x4a00091) [20:48] when some one logins in [20:48] Celtibero: Look on official cite [20:48] Excuse me, I meant "Does any of you know" [20:49] Celtibero: did you try wolframalpha? [20:49] can anybody help? Here is problem, the common flash drive, (kingston, 13fe:1d00) works ok under windows, but on my ubuntu box the initialization is finished with "waiting for device to settle before scanning" in dmesg [20:49] helloren: Check out the man page for sshd_config under Banner [20:49] helloren /etc/issue.net i believe and issue is local [20:49] no block device is created thoug [20:49] helloren: /etc/issue.net [20:49] qorep I'm looking for it. [20:49] helloren: sshd has by default no own banner [20:49] Hello, I can't connect to the internet with my mobile phone anymore(bluetooth). The channel connects to the mobile however there is no damn option to connect in network manager like it was before(until I upgraded to 10.10) is there anyway to bring up manually a configuration?

[20:50] Has anyone had good luck with any Wireless N 300 PCI cards on 10.10? I prefer that it work out-of-the-box... [20:50] Hi guys [20:51] Celtibero: try the "show steps" button [20:51] eaerth, ah, the shift key for grub2 should bring up the grub menu. you should be able to install the kernel headers + image by following instructions that are here: this link is what i used to go to 2.6.30 on jaunty. i suspect the same would work on your version. http://ubuntu.igameilive.com/2009/08/2630-kernel-on-jaunty-jackalope.html [20:51] qorep Thank you very very much, this is great! [20:51] eaerth, but, just know this isn't recommended, so do a backup before trying it. why are you doing it anyway? [20:51] HACKER1993: Hello, hacker :) [20:51] Celtibero: I recommend playing around with it some if it's for math homework, so you see what's going on and learn how to solve it yourself [20:52] qorep Definitely [20:52] qorep You're right === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [20:52] okay, 10.04 netbook ed here i come. it's hard comparing my hardware to others as im packing a zoostorm netbook, and they're not common lol [20:52] bah..i'm screwed [20:53] francesca: Do you can definitely describe the problem? [20:54] i need a bit of help with tty [20:54] seidos: my cpu is acting rather strange since i went from lucid to maverick... videos make my cpu app in gnome-panel drop to 50% and sometimes other things are doing it too. then i started experiencing some problems with compiz while moving windows around, it would give me a black screen and the only solution was shutting down ;\ [20:54] seidos: how old is that version of the kernel, btw? [20:55] eaerth, karmic has 2.6.31, lucid has 2.6.32 (iirc), and i think maverick has 2.6.35. you can type uname -a to see what kernel is installed on maverick. [20:55] The D-Link wifiN PCI card I got (DWA-525) doesn't work out-of-box with 10.10. I got it working on 10.04 but it was buggy. Any suggestions on other wirelessN PCI cards? [20:55] yeah it's .35-22 i believe [20:56] seidos: i also keep getting modprobe fatal at boot, which seems to be a bit common on launchpad with no solution other than making it look like it's gone but the boot time still stays the same. [20:56] eaerth, wait, what, your cpu is "dropping to 50%"...it was higher before? [20:56] eaerth, rebooting frequently? does acpi work on your system? [20:56] seidos: yes, it's normally 1.60ghz and drops to 800 and is way laggy... [20:56] tranq: this .deb installs on 10.04 (with bit hassle) -- https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa/+files/gyachi_1.2.9-0.1%7Ekarmic_i386.deb [20:56] Ubuntu 10.10 isn't reading my phone's memory card or my external hard drive when I connect them. I booted with the external already plugged in once, and it booted with it already read and mounted, but it won't work after boot. They show up on lsusb, but they're not in fsck -l, so I dunno how to mount them [20:56] seidos: not familiar with acpi? [20:57] eaerth, oh, so you're saying that video is laggy, and notice a drop in cpu correlated to it. [20:57] tranq: there is proper ppa for gyachi too [20:57] I need to copy a folder from a hd with bad sectors. Can I use tar for that? Or can anybody help me with that sentence? [20:57] seidos: i'm beginning to get so sick of ubuntu i'm going to switch distros... or even go back to windows all together... [20:57] alguem do brasil? [20:57] eaerth, advanced configuration power interface...hibernate, suspend. was saying it for suspend. i never reboot if i can avoid it [20:58] seidos: yes and also, before i just rebooted this last time it was doing it and i wasn't even doing anything involved with video... no idea what is going on here. [20:58] shcherbak: m checking [20:58] !br | marcos [20:58] marcos: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [20:58] annkas: might want to check out ddrescue [20:58] eaerth, i don't have a problem with other distros. #lug or #linux if you want general linux help. :) windows though, i really can't get behind i'm afraid. [20:58] seidos: oh, right on. yeah i never use any of that and try not to reboot myself, most of the time. unless i'm working on something involving the configuration and such... [20:58] when i try to :w a file that was saved in /mnt/cifs/foo vim tells me "WARNING: The file has changed since reading it!!!" even though i know no one else changed the file since i started viewing it. what could cause/solve this? [20:59] realcooluser, don't think I can choose just one folder ith ddresue [20:59] @AHemlockslie have you tried mount -a? [20:59] annkas: Give tar the --ignore-failed-read switch. [20:59] eaerth, yeah, same here. well, i have a 1.47ghz duo core and video isn't laggy, but i run karmic, couldn't get 10.10 to run on my notebook. === SortiE|A is now known as SortiE [20:59] seidos: hahahaha, oh i'm with you there... i think i was just getting ahead of myself... i really can't stand windows and when i switched to ubuntu it seemed amazing, back with karmic and then even lucid was great, no problem at all but now maverick is TERRIBLEEEE [21:00] dajhorn, yes, there it was :-) [21:00] eaerth: that's what some people say every time they upgrade [21:00] HACKER1993, I just tried that, I don't think anything happened, and there wasn't any output [21:00] because theres changes that they have to adjust to [21:00] seidos: so until i can get my friend to bring his external hdd over i'm stuck with it, then i can downgrade to lucid with a fresh install... [21:00] Hello. My computer freezes for an instant every 3 seconds, even without running any programs [21:00] and i can't find out why [21:01] eaerth, i think there is an issue with hardware compatibility. i think it may be rather political. did you try it out on live usb first? my next install will be from the alternate cd...it should be a learning experience, thought it might prove frustrating. it would be nice if i had another system to practice on first. [21:01] seidos: funny thing is, i upgraded (non-clean install) from karmic to lucid and then did a fresh install for maverick thinking it'd be way nicer... not the case i guess. :S [21:01] @AHemlocksLie i think you may have to look up fstab if im right it should be on the ubuntu comunity docs page [21:01] Wheheis: It's windows computer? :))) [21:01] noo, it's ubuntu [21:02] seidos: i agree, yeah... and no i didn't try it out first, i regret it... [21:02] but it's a pretty old computer (pentium 3) [21:02] eaerth, we should probably talk in pm or in #ubuntu-offtopic. i don't want my inane opinions obfuscating the support channel [21:02] anyway, there must be some program running in the background that causes it [21:02] i'm using ubuntu 9.10 [21:03] hi hi, having a weird problem in ubumtu i cant move the gnome windows up, down, or right, ive googled and googled but cant find an answer [21:03] Wheheis: :)) So, you can run $ top and you will see what program eat the CPU [21:03] hi guys, is there a way to fix my internet speed? [21:03] i called my provider, they said its ok, but its slow :( [21:03] HACKER1993, docs say that's more for internal stuff like extra hard drives/partitions, not usb devices. Should I dig through it for something to try anyway? [21:03] dalton2345, why do you think it's slow? [21:04] utilitytrack: i already did that, the cpu isn't used for any specific program ("top" is the one using more resources). So i gues it's not a cpu issue [21:04] seidos: i have no idea [21:04] schpleurgen: Try this: + [21:04] dalton2345, so you think it's slow but don't know why? i mean, what makes you think it is slow? [21:05] seidos: ohhh i got you, i go to a video site and i have lag, while others dont [21:05] Hi! I have a little problem... I installed Ubuntu but it doesn't detect the DVD drives... however, the BIOS does so I assume the cables are correctly set... Is there anyway of re scanning the hardware like when you install it? Or any solution to this? [21:05] They are IDE drives. [21:05] Wheheis, and hd io is none? [21:05] utilitytrack - unfortunately f7 trick doesnt work :/ its weird it just moves sideways right no matter what i do [21:06] brontoeee: where do I check that? [21:06] Wheheis: If so, then you should look in system logs: /var/log/messages; /var/log/kern.log; etc [21:06] dalton2345, that could just be because of a lot of traffic on the video site, like youtube or hulu. you could try pausing the video for it to cache. you can try doing a speed test...i think dslreports.com has one. or try downloading a large file from a torrent, to see how fast it goes. torrents are usually quite fast [21:06] can anyone tell me how to mount a FDE drive from a live cd? [21:06] dalton2345: Here's another one http://reviews.cnet.com/internet-speed-test/ [21:07] Wheheis: May be you will find some messages about errors [21:07] he, the news I got today Ubuntu will drop Gnome in favour for Unity and wil focus on the web? [21:07] anywhere you can get the weather-indicator I've read about? I'm not able to locate it anywhere and would like a little better applet than the standard weather report.... [21:07] seidos: but why am i the only one having issues on it [21:07] Can anyone point me to a website on how I would get irregular characters in Ubuntu, like in windows you hold the alt key and use the num pad [21:07] UncleNinja: ty [21:07] LOGAN: read that too [21:07] schpleurgen: That's strange. [21:07] * LOGAN cries. Because Unity looked , erm, well [21:07] dalton2345, who says you're the only one? i have issues with caching youtube videos sometimes. try the speed test, and then compare it to what you are paying for from your isp [21:08] I'm having trouble with USB devices not mounting unless they're connected before boot. Can anyone help? [21:08] I'm would be disappointed if they make the move argg [21:08] dalton2345, you could also try using google chrome. it is pretty snappy. [21:08] no traditional file management [21:08] lol [21:08] utilitytrack: it is strange isnt it, ive never seen anything like it b4, its a fresh install on a virtualbox [21:08] can some one help me out? i have a 250 gig hd thats formatted in ntfs. i have it connected to my sata ata adapter and connected to my laptop via usb connection but my computer isnt recognizing it. the hard drive is spinning up just not being recognized. i dont need to recover just to format. [21:08] i did the test, my line speed is 10065 is it fast? [21:08] can anyone tell me how to mount a FDE drive from a live cd? [21:08] hey [21:08] oh i'm running lucid [21:08] seidos: i'm using chrome [21:08] can someone recommend a link for the best things to install on a fresh 10.04? [21:08] andrew__: try http://google.com/search?q=ubuntu+numpad+alt+codes [21:09] I can't seem to open OpenOffice Writer all of a sudden [21:09] dalton2345, i haven't done the speed test in awhile. what are the units? 10065 what? [21:09] what could the problem? [21:09] dw: ty [21:09] seidos: 10065 kbps...line speed [21:09] utilitytrack: its only nautilus thats having the problem, i can only move the windows right sideways [21:09] can anyone tell me how to mount an Encrypted drive from a live cd? [21:10] dalton2345, 10Mbps is fast. [21:10] dalton2345, relatively speaking :) [21:10] #join ubuntu-us-tx [21:10] utilitytrack: I didn't find anything. I don't think i'll appear in log files, because it's happening all the time [21:10] dalton2345: Nice! I'm on Cable and I only get 4 Mbps! [21:10] seidos: :), i dont what is my problem then [21:10] bb_1ubuntu: boot it up then manual mount with options similar to found in /etc/fstab from teh system [21:10] know* [21:10] dw-: lol my num pad is broken maybe that is the problem [21:11] dalton2345, how do videos play running from your hard disk? [21:11] DNS might be an issue try and issue opendns or something maybe might solve connection issues [21:11] andrew__: no clue i dont think mine work either but i havent tried to fix it yet [21:11] UncleNinja: for real you have 4 [21:11] Hello, whenever I switch to console mode (CTRL+ALT+F1-6) and try to switch back to GUI (ALT+F7) I find that it has gone to a black screen with status messages similar to when I first boot.

[21:27] dougsko what do you mean make a new directory? [21:28] is there a way to pipe a password to a: sudo login like: sudo login | password [21:28] that is dmesg output after inserting flash drive: http://paste.ubuntu.com/519859/; lsusb output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/519860/; usb-devices corresponding entry: http://paste.ubuntu.com/519861/ [21:28] dougsko nvm [21:28] killerrr, i think you'll get a more stable system by upgrading to 10.10, then 11.04, then 11.10 etc [21:28] cjc2010: no idea, check the dev's site, my experience with mutt is miniscule [21:28] You think you could help me brontoeee [21:29] dougsko it says i must specify the filesystem type so i just add ntfs to the end of that command? [21:29] i have damn cool film on that flash drive, and cannot get it watched the second day in a row === saschal is now known as Moxon [21:29] Chaos2358: nope [21:29] aeon-ltd: reading the Ubuntu manual says "Mutt has mail-transport-agent as a dependency which means if you don't have a Mail Transport Agent installed on your system and you install Mutt an MTA will also be installed, Postfix being the default." [21:29] dougsko, ok how then [21:29] Chaos2358: first thing to do is google the erroe ;) [21:29] dancek: :( :( this is not good. now i don't trust to upgrade the system from releases to other one. and if i don't upgrade i have to install every program and every settings again... :( i don't wont to do this ever 6 months... [21:29] Wheheis: You can find what program uses intensive I/O: $ iotop --only [21:29] brick, yes, i would use something first to convert those avis to correct mpeg2 format for dvd authoring, in 2nd step i'd do the authoring, dvd styler seems to be in the repos [21:30] dougsko i'm not getting an error it just isnt reading the drive [21:30] Chaos2358: is the drive truely formatted as ntfs?

[21:31] dougsko yes it was in a laptop that the screen fucked up on so my bro bought a new one i gutted this from it. it worked fine in it [21:31] dancek: anyway thank you! i have to leave now... [21:31] killerrr, seriously ubuntu offers the option to upgrade, you don't lose anything. you just have to wait for apt to download new packages and install them. why not do the recommended thing? [21:32] brick, no [21:32] dancek: many users on forums faced problems when or after upgrade their ubuntu. [21:32] i thought /connect was a command... but it's not? [21:32] to use mutt do I have to configure both mutt and an MTA? [21:32] LuisCarlos: it's better to learn iptables [21:32] ffmpeg you can use for transcoding [21:32] Chaos2358: OK, well, what's happening is that the mount command is unable to automatically determine the filesystem type. so you need to specify it for it [21:32] is there a way to pipe an exported $PASSWORD to a sudo login? Like: sudo login | $PASSWORD [21:33] Chaos2358: check 'man mount' and specifically read the section explaining the '-t' or '--types' option [21:33] killerrr, and many people die in traffic daily. so do you stay inside? [21:33] fail2ban settings are not being applied by ssh [21:33] dougsko ok be back soon [21:33] killerrr, anyhow i think philosophy is offtopic so i wont continue :P [21:34] dancek:this is not the same thing. most of them not die. but on ubuntu dies :D [21:34] im getting the following error when trying to upgrade to 10.10: http://pastebin.com/XHpJKW0t. Whats odd is that i already uninstalled playonlinux, which is one of the errors. I dont see anything about it in my sources.list either [21:34] brick, if you are in US or ntsc coutry then : ffmpeg -i in.avi -y -target ntsc-dvd -sameq -aspect 16:9 out.mpg [21:34] blackkheim: I know iptables. I have my scripts, but looking at the software available, I saw many GUIs, so, maybe one is mature/recommended. [21:34] brick, could be an example, use smaller samples to test the workflow 1st thought [21:35] killerrr, ok so how many percent of users have problems after upgrading? 0.5%? [21:35] blakkheim: I know iptables. I have my scripts, but looking at the software available, I saw many GUIs, so, maybe one is mature/recommended. [21:35] dancek: i just need a stable system which is upgrading with all applications inside.. but not releasing. i will use 10.04 and i will update the 4-5 softwares which i want to update non-stop... [21:35] brontoeee, you're talking to someone who is pretty much new to Ubuntu, however I am now writing down the codes to different programs/downloads on paper for Terminal brontoeee [21:35] brick, the problem with video is usually ppl not knowing anything about video, not about OS [21:36] dancek: %0.05 ??? are you kidding me. i told you most of them... i read on forums every person who upgrade the system have problmes.. and always the other users say that please make a fresh install... [21:36] dancek: sorry i have to leave now. thank you for your interest... [21:36] I don't know anything about video [21:36] lol [21:37] does someone else over here have the problem that gwibber appears twice in the indicator applet menu? (ubuntu 10.10, fresh install) [21:37] brick, yes, its either: learn or try to use 1 click stuff that never really works [21:37] Hi there [21:37] I wonder if anyone could help me [21:37] あぉは [21:37] cjc2010: sorry but my knowledge of mutt and mta is *extremely* limited, sorry i couldn't help further [21:37] dancek:can you just tell me before i go, my system will be stable if i update just 4-5 applications with adding repos ?

[21:39] brontoeee, but rsync does only work over the network right? [21:39] killerrr, all upgrade problems are caused by some software. you'll be quite safe, but not completely [21:39] linuxR, at least thats what they told me [21:39] thank you anyways brontoeee for your patience and time. [21:39] español [21:39] How is Unity on Meerkat desktop? Anyone using it? Recommendations? Should I wait for Natty?

[21:42] Hey how can I quickly test to capture video using my camera on my laptop [21:43] Chaos2358: hehe. well, you just need to specify the type of file system youre mounting. so something like this should work for you: 'sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /path/to/folder' [21:43] stuart__: if your on ubuntu, yes [21:43] *you're [21:43] Chaos2358: where, 'path/to/folder' is the path to the folder where you want to mount the drive [21:43] have no idea how to use Wine. [21:44] :o [21:44] Yes I am. the problem I'm having is this: I have everything configured the way I believe it should be, but it seems like the only account that can actually access the shares remotely is my account, which is the owner of the folders [21:44] ok so lets say i want to mount to desktop. path/to/desktop [21:44] it's easy [21:44] Aurvang: Have you looked at the "Properties" for the installed teamspeak client in Synaptic? It tells you where the installed files are. [21:44] I get the canonicalize failed error on the server, and the remote machines say "network path not found" [21:44] mikau, [21:44] mike1405, [21:44] tell me [21:45] Do you mind if I PM you and you can tell me how to work Wine?

[21:52] ikonia: I fixed that [21:52] anygivenname: ok - so have you removed the ignore line ? [21:52] ikonia: which line ? [21:52] anygivenname: the line that says ignore = 127.0.0.1 [21:52] linuxR, exactly, unless you add the delete option and made a mistake with your command line [21:52] anygivenname: your on local host, so it will ignore it [21:52] ikonia: no [21:53] I used xsane and simple scan [21:53] <3 love you(buntu) [21:53] seph321, ah found it :) thank you for your time [21:53] I tried the commands: [21:53] cristian_c: Try use latest SANE backends. May be you will want to compile it manually [21:53] anygivenname: ok, I did suggest that earlier [21:53] brontoeee, I think I will not use that delete option..and of course have a backup of the data ready, thanks :) [21:53] Hey everyone! I am just wondering how to search with Nautilus. If I browse to a folder and then hit CTRL+F and then type in something to search for it seems to only search the Home folder. [21:54] utilitytrack, thanks for the answer [21:54] ikonia: someone helped me out so now log-ins are being logged into auth.log [21:54] fuzzybunny69y, Applications > Accessories > Search for Files [21:54] fuzzybunny69y: do no do crtl + f; just type the search term [21:54] sympt0m, you can do: cd ~ to get to your home folder and then: pwd to echo that folder [21:54] ikonia: although it buffers sometimes & show the entries late but atleast it finally did [21:54] fuzzybunny69y: dont know but you can do "locate " from prompt or find /* -name file\*\.txt hehe [21:55] fuzzybunny69y: you can also use "Places->Search for Files" [21:55] ikonia: someone in linux did it [21:55] Chaos2358: you can try mounting /dev/sdb, but i dont think thatll work. you might end up having to reformat [21:55] utilitytrack, what can I do to use latest SANE backends? Where do I find these backends? [21:55] sympt0m, actualy: echo ~ does the trick as well [21:55] I'm on 10.10 and use Compiz. Sometimes my menu bars do not show up (with the close, minimize, maximize buttons). How can I get them back while I'm in my session without having to relogin? [21:55] dougsko thats all i really want to do is format it [21:55] anygivenname: so now you just need fail2ban to act [21:55] ikonia: but the jail.conf settings are not happening....like limiting to 3 trials [21:56] fuzzybunny69y: :( just checked that only works if you now the exact name [21:56] i could care less about whats on it i want to use it as backup storage [21:56] thanks [21:56] I don't think UbuntuOne is syncing until I actually run System > Preferences > UbuntuOne [21:56] anygivenname: did you remove the localhost line in the conf as I just said above [21:56] dougsko i could care less about whats on it i just want to format it to fat and use it to store music pics and home movies [21:56] ikonia: no.....what does it do ? [21:57] anygivenname: I've just told you, your on localhost, so testing it from localhost will get ignored by fail2ban [21:57] ikonia: i never test from the same network....my other pc is connected to a different network [21:57] hello [21:57] sup sur === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [21:57] Chaos2358: try using 'ntfs-3g' as a mount type [21:57] I am having problem with mic.

[21:58] dw-, naa, its works with sound recorder [21:58] dw-, it was working yesterday [21:58] anygivenname: fail2ban searches for certain patterns to mark as an exploit, have you checked the patterns its searching for [21:59] sur: plug it in :p [21:59] dw-, but may be i messed-up [21:59] dw-, :D [21:59] What is the location of Ubuntu 10.10's Login Logo? I changed it, and wish to restore it. [21:59] ikonia: dunno how to do this [21:59] dw-, seriously [21:59] anygivenname: it's in the fail2ban config files, it shows the patterns it thinks are "dirty" [21:59] dougsko ok adding 3g returned same error how do i format it if it doesnt show up in places or on the desktop? [21:59] utilitytrack, these backends are old: Latest News [21:59] 2010-04-25: SANE-Backends-1.0.21 has been released. Changes since 1.0.20: [21:59] sur: check the logs... /var/log/* hard to say [21:59] Chaos2358: who are you talking to ?

[22:01] Chaos2358: open up System->Administration->Partition Editor [22:01] dw-, every thing is ok [22:01] Chaos2358: find /dev/sdb and go nuts [22:01] ikonia: i read but ofcourse did not understand everything [22:01] dw-, even it works with sound recorder [22:01] dw-, I can hear the recorded voice [22:01] anygivenname: check for the pattern matching for bad entries and see if they are appearing in your log files [22:01] ikonia: someone here helped me out but were waiting for ssh to log [22:01] sur: your prog has wrong source or somethin [22:01] on a persistant live usb stick is it kosher to sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade with all desired repos selected ? [22:02] dougsko go nuts? is that a technical term :) [22:02] anygivenname: on my redhat machines I had to change the patterns to match the logging [22:02] I'm on 10.10 and use Compiz. Sometimes my menu bars do not show up (with the close, minimize, maximize buttons). How can I get them back while I'm in my session without having to relogin? [22:02] dw-, that mean ?? [22:02] Chaos2358, sounds like lost in code [22:02] sur: maybe you got 2 mics and its choosing the wrong one [22:02] sur: check the prefs [22:02] hello? [22:02] dw-, I tried choosing both [22:02] cristian_c: :)) These backends are latest version :)) [22:02] rypervenche: try 'compiz --replace' [22:02] dw-, let me confirt [22:02] ikonia: i'm afraid to play & then it stops logging....i will seek help from anyone aware of how to make it [22:03] say you have two sound cards, and your output is a analog stereo system. are some oxygen hd soundcards superior audiophile wise to others despite the same chipset ? also, anything better than oxygen hd ? [22:03] bb_1ubuntu: i gave you a google check it [22:03] aeon-ltd: Cool, that should do it. Thank you. [22:03] anygivenname: you need to check the patterns it checks for and see if they are appearing in your log, you don't have to change anything, just look [22:03] cristian_c: Post here what version do you use now? $ dpkg -l libsane [22:03] dw-, that didnt help [22:03] dougsko found it thank you [22:03] rypervenche: you should probably look into whats causing the compiz crash though [22:03] dw-, i had already seen all of those pages [22:04] howh do I figure out which ppa a package came from? [22:04] anygivenname: just look, don't change anything if your not comfortable [22:04] utilitytrack, 1.0.20-13ubunt [22:04] are commercial VPN solutions available if so are they used for ip cloaking ? [22:04] I'm stuckin dep hell on an X package and I think it's becuase I've added something to my repo [22:04] i have a problem. I need to backup directories from another user to a fresh install of a different user, and I need to do this all on a fully encrypted system. can anyone tell me how to do this? [22:04] Chaos2358: you found your drive in the partition editor? [22:04] ikonia: I dont know where the patterns are [22:04] bb_1ubuntu, i'm interested in that question as well [22:05] anygivenname: look in the fail2ban config files === SuperHark is now known as Guest5027 [22:05] what is superior fail2ban or denyhosts ? [22:05] aeon-ltd: I believe it has to do with my load-up being rather slow. Perhaps too many start-up programs all at once. From time to time my gnome-panel also comes out with a few missing icons. It's not too common though. [22:05] dw-, hey didn't find anything [22:05] k-rad: neither, depends what works for your needs [22:05] dw-, any idea [22:05] k-rad: unplugging the cord === blAze is now known as Guest18930 [22:06] dw-, can I change the pulseaudio to ALSA then ?? [22:06] anyone have any idea when i dual monitor i can only mirror, not dual and i get lines when i do? [22:06] anygivenname: look in the filters directory in fail2ban dir [22:06] sur: test other programs... try to narrow it down.. try that stuff yea.. upgrade ubuntu ? :) [22:06] dw-, yeah [22:06] dougsko i found it in disc utility. it had been hooked up for two hours and didnt show up before i dont know why it just did now. but it is there and formatting [22:06] dw-, it was working yesterday === Guest18930 is now known as Sodium [22:07] dw-, but suddenly its gone :( [22:07] can anyone tell me if it possible to update Ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10 via cd? If so how please? I have downloaded the ISO already [22:07] sur: sound recorder holding it open/busy? :) [22:07] dw-, I tried on skype, input shows paulse [22:07] added 1tb drive to ubuntu get error that drive is full after 10gbs or so [22:07] dw-, but I did closed the recorder [22:08] 800gb free? [22:08] cristian_c: You need try to upgrade SANE backends, as I said before [22:08] sur: you got a gremlin [22:08] to all occupants of ubuntu. dougsko is the master of all things ubuntu. can he get a round of applause??? \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ [22:08] Chaos2358: easy there [22:08] utilitytrack, ok, I'll try :) [22:08] ikonia?? [22:09] shcherbak: i got freezing [22:09] Chaos2358: simple thanks is normally enough [22:09] cristian_c: Good luck :) [22:09] ikonia ok lol [22:09] can anyone tell me if it possible to update Ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10 via cd? If so how please? I have downloaded the ISO already [22:09] james_: you need to use the alternative cd [22:09] oddio ma qui nessuno parla italiano? [22:09] dw-, in sound pref, input level is showing 5-6 line yellow [22:09] So... I installed a clean ubuntu 10.4, then decided to upgrade my original 8.04 to 10.4. The upgrade failed (probably thanks to openoffice issues). At any rate, it seems that grub does not list any bootable entries for the old 8.04->10.4 partition. [22:09] !upgrade > james_ [22:09] james_, please see my private message [22:09] dw-, and its not mute [22:09] dougsko thank you [22:09] Chaos2358: no problem [22:09] I am not sure what my next step is. [22:10] dougsko i dont know why it suddenly showed up but i'm not complaining been trying for two days [22:11] can the permissions/owner of hard drive limit the amount of data i can transfer from another computer [22:11] any ideas? [22:11] samba share [22:11] Chaos2358: yeah thats weird. dunno why it would do that either [22:11] for NAS storage with windows computer and a ubuntu one what filesystem best suits that purpose ? ext4 or ntfs ? [22:11] anyone know if it's possible to make tab on commandline cycle through options? [22:12] k-rad: for windows ntfs, for linux ext4 [22:12] ikonia, i wanted to split the hard drive with my father [22:12] so if i did "cd k-rad: neither then [22:12] I have a box with static ip and auto eth0. The cable sucks so it unplugs/replugs from time to time, but ubuntu doesn't reconnect automatically. what can I do? [22:12] lol? [22:12] dougsko maybe the commands you gave me did something [22:12] i dunno [22:12] ikonia, perhaps two seperate partitions ? though i wouldn't know how to allocate user accounts [22:12] k-rad: FAT32 [22:13] dw-, ?? [22:13] k-rad: two partitions would work better [22:13] ok [22:13] wolfric, I know I could do it in zsh, but I don't know about bash. === oipunx is now known as geekpunk [22:13] sur: cant say much more bro g/l [22:13] Chaos2358: i dont think so, but now you know how to manually mount a drive is you need to :) [22:13] dw-, thanks anyway [22:13] k-rad: It's fast, but don't have a journals, so bad. [22:13] Hi. What is the tool for reconfiguring Xorg? I've switched laptops and it has a different chipset. [22:13] dougsko yep i do have a final question [22:14] Chaos2358: shoot [22:14] Is it normal that theres a crap load of problems associated with WINE? [22:14] !xorg [22:14] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [22:14] dougsko "mounting" it is placeing the icon on the desktop correct? [22:14] brick: yes [22:14] screw wine [22:14] blahdeblah, i've always booted into safe mode then choose reconfig xserver then default generic configuration, exit, exit, then boot normally [22:14] I'm uninstalling now [22:14] i need help with sound. hp with beats audio. good speakers will not work [22:14] Where can I find documentation on how to recover from a failed ubuntu upgrade? [22:14] badpenguin86: maybe hp has a linux driver you need [22:14] Chaos2358: the icon is just a gnome thing. but yeah basically [22:15] blahdeblah: $ nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:15] k-rad: It prompts me to reconfigure, and once it has done it, it works, but on reboot it just asks again. [22:15] how do I unninstall WIne? [22:15] utilitytrack: If i knew what should go in there, i would have edited it already. [22:15] can i take a ufs drive from freenas and use it on ubuntu? [22:15] brick: aptitude purge wine [22:15] dw-: Thanks, didn't think about that, will look [22:15] chimi: ufs has read online support [22:15] Chaos2358: if you put in a thumb drive, and youre just in a straight termial (no gnome) and you mount the drive to a folder, than youll be able to access the stuff on the drive from that folder [22:15] dougsko uh oh i spoke too soon i just got an error formating drive operation failed [22:15] brick: sudo apt-ger purge programname [22:15] brick: although just because it has lots of problems doesn't mean it's not a useful tool... [22:15] badpenguin86: but hp doesnt make sound cards... you need the sound card driver [22:15] blahdeblah, try a propietary or different open source driver will its functional [22:15] It craps on convertXToDVD for me [22:16] convertxtodvd didn't work [22:16] and I don't think i'll try another one. [22:16] Chaos2358: uh oh...sorry, someone else will hav to field this. i have to get outta the office ;P [22:16] dougsko and it has disappeared from disk utility [22:16] dw-, and there are no linux drivers on their site [22:16] k-rad: I don't know the names of the drivers or anything like that. It has been years since i've edited xorg.conf. I thought there was a tool to do it now. [22:16] does anyone know how to make a usb boot for ubuntu in linux? [22:16] badpenguin86: or maybe you have an unchecked speaker option in sound config already [22:16] :p [22:16] Elive_user52_en: The best tool i've found is unetbootin - just install it from package manager [22:17] Chaos2358: i might be abround later, but i have to go now. sorry i couldnt help more. good luck though [22:17] dougsko it's ok thanks [22:17] blahdeblah, its somewhat rare a xorg.conf exists these days until something like aticonfig creates one [22:17] Hey, I installed BURG (great mistake), chose that I didn't like it and removed it again, but now the f@(?)%&/ BURG is still loaded at start up, it f/=()§& up my bootsplash and my background image in GRUB, how can I restore my system to use GRUB2 again? [22:17] brick, virtualbox and install real windows inside [22:18] Hello geek, [22:18] I need a help t sort-out my mic. issue [22:18] I know that Ubuntu is based on debian unstable, but is there a time when an Ubuntu release can be considered stable and everything works as it should? I ditched 10.04 cause I really need to be able to add repository DVDs and its broken in 10.04. Is Ubuntu ever considered stable? [22:18] LinuxGuy2009: every release is stable [22:18] k-rad: The rarity of my situation has no bearing on its difficulty. I've switched laptops; my old one used NVIDIA, my new one uses Intel - for some reason reconfiguring has not re-written xorg.conf [22:18] hmmm [22:18] sur: No record? [22:18] thank you brontoeee [22:18] Useful [22:18] LinuxGuy2009: any LTS release is very stable within a month or two after release [22:18] ikonia: I read in the fail2ban.log.....seems working [22:18] utilitytrack, recording but with other application doesn't work [22:18] fat32 samba share on ubuntu box says 1tb drive is full after 10gb or so of data transfer [22:18] blahdeblah, i dont have any experience with intel video i apologize [22:18] anygivenname: super [22:19] utilitytrack, like skype [22:19] ikonia: baning & unbaning IP's [22:19] LinuxGuy2009: Ubuntu are unstable forever. [22:19] anygivenname: that's great [22:19] anygivenname: iptables -L will work [22:19] guys i have a question. im making a setup were i can plug in a graphics card to my express slot on my laptop so i can play games. but what i want to know is well the graphics card that i plug in automaticly work? cause this 945gm did when i installed ubuntu 10.10. if not and i install the driver do i have to uninstall this one? [22:19] utilitytrack: no they are not, please don't talk nonsense [22:19] utilitytrack, I checked on sound pref. not mute [22:19] lirc sir is crashing on ubuntu 10.10 [22:19] k-rad: I'm not asking for expertise on this chipset - just a pointer to the thingy that lets me reconfigure [22:19] Hey, I installed BURG (great mistake), chose that I didn't like it and removed it again, but now the f@(?)%&/ BURG is still loaded at start up, it f/=()§& up my bootsplash and my background image in GRUB, how can I restore my system to use GRUB2 again? [22:19] sur: I don't use Skype, sorry. [22:19] ikonia: but it is not applying the aal iptables settings [22:19] Naznaz: quit the language [22:20] anygivenname: how are you testing ? [22:20] LinuxGuy2009: I also disagree with utilitytrack - most Ubuntu releases are very stable [22:20] utilitytrack, skype is just example [22:20] LinuxGuy2009: every ubuntu release is marked as a stable release. [22:20] ikonia: like maxretry....ban time...find time..... [22:20] Well is there some logical reason why APTonCD created repo discs dont get added as a source? Ive tried System admin sources, and apt-cdrom add. Is this a base system bug or aptoncd bug? [22:20] LinuxGuy2009: intrepid wasn't very good, but jaunty, karmic, and lucid have been excellent for me [22:20] anygivenname: how are you testing iptables [22:20] blahdeblah: they are all stable releases [22:20] utilitytrack, in sound pref, there is no activity when i speak [22:20] I installed BURG (great mistake), chose that I didn't like it and removed it again, but now BURG is still loaded at start up, it deleted my bootsplash and my background image in GRUB, how can I restore my system to use GRUB2 again? [22:21] Hey guys what is the best search program for Ubuntu? So far I have found catfish, beagle and tracker but I am not sure what one to use. [22:21] ikonia: i mean the iptables settings are not all funcational.... [22:21] utilitytrack, sound level should be go high while recording [22:21] !grub2 > Naznaz [22:21] anygivenname: how do you know [22:21] Naznaz, please see my private message [22:21] anygivenname: what are you doing to test [22:21] hi all, i'm learning php, very early stages for me and trying to use the fwrite function, to no avail.. i'm wondering if php has write file permissions out of the box? (it can read but not right, is this norm?) [22:21] I really need this feature to work. [22:21] So can anyone point me to a utility which automatically configures xorg.conf for my hardware? [22:22] lirc sir is crashing on ubuntu 10.10 using mythubuntu [22:22] LinuxGuy2009: which feature? [22:22] ikonia: seeing infinite number of allowed attempts....no ban time....no find time [22:22] blahdeblah: xorg is dynamic and it will try to do it for you any way, delete xorg.conf [22:22] Naznaz, you can switch between the two by using grub-install and burg-install -- once you get grub2 back up you can remove burg [22:22] anygivenname: sudo iptables -L check it [22:22] andyzammy, enable php error reporting [22:22] ikonia, Hi, may be you can help me to sort out my mic issue on ubuntu 10.10 [22:22] blahdeblah: Adding repository discs made with APTonCD. [22:22] slidinghorn, ikonia thanks [22:22] sorry for the inturption.... but would a live cd be faster or a live USB thumb drive? [22:22] ikonia: That was going to be my next trick - i'll try it. [22:22] sur: no idea [22:22] sur: You checked the mixer levels? [22:23] For apache2, which file defines the apache user name? [22:23] utilitytrack, yup [22:23] brontoeee: how do i do that? [22:23] andyzammy: this is not a programmers' channel, php has the permissions of the user that starts it [22:23] AlanMeta: apache2.conf [22:23] AlanMeta: the is a variable in there that sets what user it should be run as [22:23] thanks ikonia [22:23] andyzammy, either in php.ini or inside the script [22:23] utilitytrack, there are two microphone showing [22:23] jerry_l: Usually flash drives are faster. [22:23] blahdeblah: Do you know if this is a known issue? [22:23] #ubuntu-mythtv [22:23] utilitytrack, 1 and 2, I test it on both [22:24] utilitytrack, it was working yesterday [22:24] LinuxGuy2009: Sorry - missed that comment earlier. I've never used APTonCD, but the Ubuntu CDs i've used do actually work as apt sources in my experience, so my guess would be the CD authoring process. But i have no evidence for that. [22:24] i need help with sound. hp with beats audio. good speakers will not work [22:24] guntbert: apologies, could you direct me to the correct channel? never really used any other than this one for my ubuntu [22:24] utilitytrack, may be I messed up today, but don't know what :( === samael is now known as Guest95704 [22:24] * blahdeblah heads off to mess up his xorg.conf again [22:25] ikonia sorry, any idea what the variable is called? I see its not user lol [22:25] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/519880/ [22:25] andyzammy, http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php [22:25] andyzammy, /join ##php [22:25] i used tar cvzf on a folder and got this message after copying 4gb : gzip stdout:file too large - can anyone explain this? [22:25] anygivenname: it's working, it's banned 218.2.129.37 [22:25] thanks for the help! will try em out [22:25] how to enter interactive mode to start the installation? I need blacklist i2c_piix4 [22:26] andyzammy: I thought the comments above would help you better than what I said - the channel for php is ##php [22:26] Yeah its odd, Ive added the ubuntu cds as sources too and it works fine I think. Maybe its a aptoncd bug. [22:26] Ello all.... [22:26] andyzammy: if I remember correctly you must be registered to join there [22:26] yes but on the other pc I have infinite # of allowed attempts....atleast I quit after 10 times [22:26] AlanMeta: it's user and group (one for user and one for group) [22:27] ikonia: yes but on the other pc I have infinite # of allowed attempts....atleast I quit after 10 times [22:27] ikonia: and no ban time or find time were applied [22:27] anygivenname: is that PC the same one as where fail2ban is [22:28] ikonia: the pc i was hacking from is a Windows based [22:28] I have a random techie question for anyone who knows lots about Ubuntu. If I have an Ubuntu install on a partition at the END of a hard disk, and I want to relocate that to the BEGINNING of the disk (eg removing windows and keeping my Ubuntu install) - can I use disk mirroring to duplicate the Ubuntu partition at the beginning of the drive, mirror the OS onto the new partition, break the mirror and wipe the old Ubuntu pa [22:28] rtition at the end? Or would it be simpler to use some sort of cpio / dd method to duplicate the data? [22:28] can anyone please help me with my wifi issues.

[22:39] well, I just couldn't resist it :) [22:39] j0nr there are standards A, B, G. N, you probably have B or G, but which? [22:40] Acer_: lesson 1) don't run nautilus with root permissions .... [22:40] ...and I can't find anything on the net. [22:40] Acer_: well, now you need to re-install, [22:40] attila_lendvai: my ssd's work just fine [22:41] zaxonspox: there are settings for 'g & b', 'g only' and 'Auto 108Mbps' [22:41] ikonia ok so just put a small partition on it? disc utility gives me the option to partition as master boot record, guid partition table, dont partition, or an apple partition map. or i could create a small partition manually. what would you reccomend for using the drive as backup storage only of music pics and videos? [22:41] and what would happen if I just copied the /usr folder from ubuntu install cd and overwrite the /usr folder on hdd? :) [22:41] zaxonspox: currently set at 'g & b' [22:41] j0nr try to set only B, mayby it will help [22:41] ikonia: it might be some hw config issue, because after the upgrade my hp 5310m became quite unstable. crashed about 10-20 times since my upgrade... [22:41] Chaos2358: just use a dos partition table [22:41] j0nr hmm no "only B", not too good [22:41] ikonia those options are available when formatting [22:41] zaxonspox: can have 'g only'? [22:41] hi! [22:41] attila_lendvai: it wouldn't work [22:41] Chaos2358: make a partition, format it [22:42] i've just installed ubuntu 10.10 and connected an external monitor, but i cannot get multi-screen setup to work. image is just cloned, but neither xrandr nor the kde config tool tells me that there is an external monitor at all [22:42] j0nr Try, but might be slow download speed, but try [22:42] hardware keys to switch the screen don't work [22:43] this is an "VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] " [22:43] ikonia ok trying it that way thank you [22:43] ikonia: when copying files from another lan machine i get an error saying my hard drive(samba share) is full. stops at about 10gb in. thanks in advance [22:43] Chaos2358: if you want to use some space of your disk it must be part of a partition and then have a file system [22:43] chimi: clear some space down then [22:43] g-hennux, do you have proprietary drivers for graphics card installed? [22:43] zaxonspox: no, openchrome [22:43] you think i should install the via drivers? [22:43] ikonia: is a freshly formated 1tb drive [22:44] ikonia: that is some serious overhead lol [22:44] hi [22:44] g-hennux, they might have panel to set up monitors, if no - set all in X.org file [22:44] chimi: see what df thinks of it [22:44] guntbert so basically with this 250 gig i want to use for storage best thing to do would be create a 1 gig partition and then format the remaining 249 to fat?? [22:44] hi, i'm just curious about the definitions, gnome-terminal, xterm, konsole,... and so on are terminal _emulators_ while what you get when pressing ctrl+alt+F is a "real" terminal ? [22:44] ok, then I'll just reinstall it, thank you! [22:44] b0wter, yes [22:45] zaxonspox: i'm wondering if this will work, as xrandr doesn't even list two monitors right now, but both are showing the same image [22:45] guntbert i already have a 60gb external i didnt have this problem with i erased and formatted with fat and it works fine as storage [22:45] thanks :) [22:45] b0wter: yeah, they're referred to aas VTs (virtual terminals though) [22:45] ikonia: df? [22:45] chimi: command to check space [22:45] Chaos2358: no, create a 250 gig partition and format it to vfat (or so..) [22:45] guntbert ok cool [22:45] g-hennux, what is set up in the "Display/Monitor" window? [22:45] Chaos2358: you didn't remove the partition on that HD [22:45] i installed call of duty 6 but it doesn't run with wine [22:46] Charbel: wine has limitations, check out #winehq for support [22:46] just one more question... when I first installed it, I made three partitions: 1 for /, 1 for /usr and 1 for /home ... what should I do to keep my /home partition safe? thanks [22:46] Charbel, did you installed latest DirectX? [22:46] Acer_: be careful with it [22:47] zaxonspox: (this is kde) there is one screen shown with 1280x800 (although the actual resolution that is shown is much higher) and "identify screens" shows "default"on moth screens [22:47] Acer_ not format it, just set up while installing again to /home [22:47] zaxonspox, i don't think [22:47] guntbert ok may seem a little slow as i'm just learning a little slow but to clear it up the 60 gig was one big partition which is why i could format it. since the 250 had two 125gb partitions and i removed them i naow have to create a single 250 gb partition in order to use it am i correct? [22:47] Hi. How do I set up a SOCKS proxy on GNOME? [22:47] Got a problem with my webcam. every time I plug it in, my internal USB wifi becomes disabled. Anyone know how to fix this? [22:47] zaxonspox: and the mouse pointer on the second screen is f*cked up, weird flickering [22:48] gasull, ssh -R :localhost: [22:48] just mount /home again on it? or leave it without mounting, and then mount it after the installation? [22:48] slidinghorn: yes, but how do I get Pidgin and other Gnome programs to use it. [22:48] Chaos2358: correct - all data must be on partitions that carry a file system [22:48] ? [22:48] Acer_ mount it again, do NOT format [22:48] ok thanks [22:49] !socks [22:49] Nice... finally got freenx working. [22:49] * mrbdotse-hero isnt wearing socks. [22:49] g-hennux, do you have an icon/draw of your 2 monitors in the Display Window? [22:49] mrbdotse-hero: keep it out of this channel, it's a support one [22:49] zaxonspox, when i run the game i got a message telling that my video card or driver doesn't support vertex shader 3.0 or better [22:49] you'll probably hear from me again... I'll mess up something for sure ;) [22:49] Hello... [22:50] zaxonspox: no [22:50] I need some help installing ubuntu... can someone help me? [22:50] Charbel, whats your card? do you have proprietary drivers? [22:50] slidinghorn, aeon-ltd: I go to System->Preferences->Network Proxy->Manual Proxy Configuration->Use the same proxy for all protocols, and set the proxy there. It doesn't work. The proxy is working for Firefox with Foxyproxy extension. [22:50] zaxonspox, ati [22:51] no i don't have proprietary drivers [22:51] sacristoco: did you download the CD? It's easier to install than Windows. [22:51] sacristoco: give more details please [22:51] Charbel, then at beginning i can tell you - you probably wont play [22:51] !ask | sacristoco [22:51] sacristoco: 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. :-) [22:51] I downloaded the cd, and started with run without installing... [22:51] zaxonspox: need to leave now, thx for your help. need to sort this out some other time [22:51] then I selected the icon to install [22:51] Charbel, ATI cards are not for gaming at linux [22:52] but, when i try to install, i cannot select the partitions [22:52] Is anybody here using a SOCKS proxy in Gnome? [22:52] gasull: what's up === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [22:52] Charbel, 1st install ATI drivers for your card, then install DirectX in wine (or winetricks) then try to play, but as i said - you have ATI [22:52] zaxonspox, when i bought my laptop in 2007 it cames with windows vista premium and i used to play call of duty 4 and it was working fine [22:53] ikonia: What do you have in System->Preferences->Network Proxy? [22:53] In the allocate drive space, nothing appears in the box. But I can mount the drive... [22:53] че за нахуй этот xchat! [22:53] gasull: what's the problem you're having [22:53] wow, I reads the russians [22:53] its nto just a block of squares [22:53] ух ты, тут русские есть, сорри за мат. [22:53] right on [22:53] now if i only understood [22:54] !ru | dkashin [22:54] dkashin: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [22:54] ikonia: the proxy doesn't work for Gnome, but it's working for Firefox with Foxyproxy extension [22:54] gasull: can you give me an example of what's failing ? [22:54] Charbel, did you playd under Windows or Linux? [22:54] ikonia: so it seems it only affects the windows client [22:54] gasull: not sure if gnome supports socks as a proxy [22:54] zaxonspox, windows [22:54] vista premium [22:54] sacristoco: can you capture the screen and upload it somewhere then share the link? I don't understand where you are stuck. [22:55] ok who can tell me how to fix wine system tray icons not appearing real quick... 3.. 2.. 1... go [22:55] Ok... I am going to try that... [22:55] Charbel, there is difference in ATI drivers for Windows and Linux - on Windows you can normally play - under Linux with ATI drivers you can have problems with even working [22:55] how can i install ati driver for video card and where can i find it ? and how can i install directx ? [22:56] Charbel: ati driver @ their site? no directx. bad. [22:56] Charbel: you can't install directx, nor do you need it [22:56] !ati > Charbel [22:56] Charbel, please see my private message [22:56] quick question is there a linux or Ubuntu version of something similar to google tv [22:56] thx [22:56] Charbel, ATI - go to website, choose your card - and read the install instructions (or use Ubuntu? proprietarydriver installer) [22:57] thx dw- ikonia and zaxonspox [22:58] i have a five line error that i need help with, if someone could help in private. should be simple [22:58] hello.. i remeber having used a program to setup my keyboard, by entering some caracters... i think it was un installation... how do i run taht program again_ === MichealH is now known as MichealH_ [22:59] anyone? [22:59] sacristoco: maybe your hard drive is full and you need to erase a partition first.

[23:00] no... its empty [23:00] (at least I don't think it will support that size) [23:00] Chaos2358: I said vfat [23:00] sacristoco: delete that partition [23:01] guntbert ok i shall try that [23:01] gasull: ok... and now?

[23:02] $ ./configure [23:02] I create the ext4 with all the space available? [23:02] do you happen to know if the non-bluetooth "receiver" usb mice sometimes work under ubuntu ? [23:02] sacristoco: actually no, try to install and Ubuntu should create the partition for you, I think [23:02] sacristoco: Ubuntu will also create a small partition for disk swapping [23:03] hello.. i remeber having used a program to setup my keyboard, by entering a few caracters... i think it was upon installation... how do i run that program again? [23:03] sympt0m, ok, i will try to help, PM the error msg [23:03] when i start movie in totem pulseaudio uses 100% cpu [23:03] is it know problem, or is just on my system?

It appears like before, but now all the space is unallocated [23:05] zaxonspox, yep, but i cant match the keyboard model with the ones listed there. Its a wireless IR keyboard [23:05] sacristoco: try to create a new ext4 partition [23:05] someone knows how can I install 10.10 on vaio cw23fx?

[23:06] is it possible to take a picture from my web cam using the command line??? [23:07] sacristoco: You probably have a partition table that is invalid in some way. Parted, which the installer uses, will refuse to work with such partition tables. You can check with "sudo parted -l" which should give you an error message. [23:07] DrPoO if so that would be epic [23:07] gasull> still the same... [23:07] Guest97378: ? [23:08] i want to write a script to take pictures every other minute. [23:08] sacristoco: doesnt the installer have the option to use the whole drive? [23:09] hm [23:09] b0wter: no... after the screen that checks the disk space and plugged in and connected to internet, it goes directly to the Allocate drive space screen. [23:09] what command to use to create dialog boxes? [23:10] fgh: zenity [23:10] Jordan_U: I am going to try that now === armageddon is now known as Guest50451 [23:11] sacristoco: can you run this from the terminal?: sudo fdisk /dev/sda [23:11] fgh: you want dialog boxes in your bash script?

[23:12] gasull: sudo fdisk /dev/sda returned a message saying that dos-compatible mode is deprecated... [23:13] Chaos2358: if you read the output of: dmesg | tail -n 20 it will give clues [23:13] sacristoco, is there no label set for disk? [23:14] I dont know... this is my first time trying to install linux.. and not going so good... [23:14] zaxonspox: label in this context is synonymous with "partition table". [23:14] thanks actionparsnip [23:14] Jordan_U, like msdos or gpt, right? [23:14] ActionParsnip, it gives alot of codes and they all say "unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 [23:15] zaxonspox: Yes. [23:15] Is there a fix for this? [23:15] Jordan_U, thats how i understanded the "label" term ;] [23:15] sacristoco: yes, it should be. [23:15] sacristoco: I had a problem similar to this in the past. Don't despair. I'm thinking. [23:15] sacristoco, can you run gparted in GUI? [23:16] yes [23:16] sacristoco: It seems Windows did something in the disk to prevent Linux from being installed. [23:16] I had windows 7 installed... [23:16] s firefox supposed to hang miserably while it's installing pluging packets? [23:17] ActionParsnip, any ideas? [23:17] anyone know how to uninstall a .deb installation manually [23:17] MKUltraII: man dpkg [23:18] I'm having a weird issue with x and compiz, so I ran the video tests, it passed all but the first one (do you see bars and static?), what does that mean exactly? [23:18] gasull: i had some weird issiues with an sub drive as well that simple seemed to be gone and after a simple reboot it magically reappeared. [23:19] sacristoco: you tried deleting all the partitions with the disk utility, didnt you? [23:19] Anyone ever have trouble getting the pandroa applet to work with AWN? [23:19] Pandora rather [23:20] anyone on 10.10 here? [23:20] sacristoco: The solution to the problem is probably as simple as selecting Device > Create partition table in gparted, but it's odd that gparted is listing the partition without complaining but parted isn't (even though they use the same code). Could you pastebin the full output from "sudo parted -l"? [23:20] I am on sony vaio and there's a lot of problem with the nvidia drivers. I manage to get them working, but then ubunut now tells me that they need to be upgraded. Is there a way for me to just to a checkpoint or something and do updates, then if it fails I can just revert back using command line? [23:20] b0wter: yes... I didnt needed them...

[23:23] err [23:23] whoops [23:23] wrong channel, sorry [23:23] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/519903/ [23:24] after attempting to create a 250gb partition on my 250 gb hard drive and format to FAT it returned the folowing error: Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [23:24] mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing FAT and now have a larger problem and i dont know what to do. after the error the drive has dissappeared from disk utility and is no longer there. i've tried moving to another usb port but nothing happens.what did i do??? also the command "dmesg | tail -n 20'' returns alot of numerics all saying "hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1. any ideas at all? [23:24] I switched from 10.04 to 10.10 and my grub screen isnt recognizing it. How do I update my grub(2)? === yantra_shilpi is now known as yantra [23:24] sacristoco: Ok, the error about "unrecognized disk label" refers to the CDROM, which is not a problem. [23:25] sacristoco: did you try zeroing the hard drive as I explained above? [23:25] sacristoco: that's how I fixed a similar problem I had time ago [23:25] gasull: yes: dd: opening `/dev/sda': Permission denied [23:25] sacristoco: try this: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M [23:26] gasull: should I get something back after doing that? [23:26] sacristoco: that is killing your data [23:27] sacristoco: it will take a while [23:27] iceroot: I dont have data [23:27] sacristoco: ok [23:27] iceroot: yes, I know. sacristoco told me his/her hard drive is empty [23:27] gasull: just wanted to be sure he knows what that is doing [23:28] iceroot: I know :) I'm just saying I wasn't trolling. [23:28] gasull: it seems that nothing happening on the terminal... but the ubuntu@ubuntu: disapeared... [23:29] sacristoco: yes, it will take several minutes. [23:29] sacristoco: it's like a low-level formatting. [23:29] sacristoco: live-cd? [23:29] oh, ok... I've got time :) [23:29] sacristoco: go have a coffee or browse something on the Internet. You will have to wait for a long time [23:29] iceroot: yes [23:30] sacristoco: ok, then everything is fine, dding the whole drive will take some time [23:30] ok... I'll have a smoke then... [23:30] ok how do i format to vfat? [23:31] sacristoco: You might need to close GParted and start it again. [23:31] sacristoco: I mean after dd is done [23:31] how do i format an external to vfat? [23:31] guntbert how do i format to vfat? it isnt one of my optinons [23:31] Chaos2358: mkfs.vfat? [23:32] gasull that will format my external? [23:32] thanks [23:32] Chaos2358: I think so. [23:32] I have a ubuntu server and I have created a new user called John with his own home directory. John is hosting a wordpress site and wordpress want's permissions to be able to upload files, create folders etc...what is the proper permissions to get this working? [23:33] vacho: I think you should ask that in a wordpress channel [23:33] gasull: well. [23:34] vacho, chmod 777 on wanted directory [23:34] who should be the owner ? [23:34] John or www-data? [23:35] does anyone else around have the problem that gwibber is shown twice in the message indicator applet on 10.10? [23:35] gasull it says no device specified how do i specify? not good with terminal had been trying in disc utility [23:35] vacho, if 777 no matter who, but i think web server or the parent directory owner [23:36] Chaos2358: you need to know where's the device. Like /dev/sdb or something similar. [23:36] How do I undo an update by synaptic? The nvidia driver messed me up and I need to drop to command prompt to do this [23:36] gasull: It's closed... [23:36] gasull it's in sdb1 [23:36] Chaos2358: /dev/sda is probably your hard drive, so be careful [23:36] does anyone know of a webcam utility for ubuntu that can record directly from my webcam with audio [23:36] Chaos2358: I would try this: mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 [23:37] sacristoco: close GParted, start it again, and try anew [23:37] MKUltraII: Cheese. But I might be wrong. [23:37] gasull: the gparted is closed, but dd is not done yet... [23:38] i have cheese; it's great, doesn't do audio though [23:38] sacristoco: then keep waiting [23:38] MKUltraII: I don't know then, sorry. [23:38] do i have to make a package in order to use wordpress 3.0.1? the version in apt is pretty old! [23:38] its fine thanks anyways [23:38] Is this the right channel for Wubi questions, or is that separate? [23:38] sacristoco: I think when I did it it took about an hour or more. [23:38] just wish there was an easy app that could record webcam and audio simutaneously [23:38] xiven: just ask the question [23:39] Hi there can someone help me on fixing the FQDN for sending out mail with postfix? [23:39] i tried webcamstudio and its the most annoying thing ever, doesnt even record your webcam fully [23:39] MKUltraII, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1148126 [23:40] gasull: no problem, meanwhile I'm working on the laptop [23:40] xcalibur: be more specific. Also, there's probably a postfix channel out there where people might know a lot more. [23:40] @gasull the people in the postfix channel don't understand how to be nice to noobs :) [23:41] xcalibur: that sucks [23:41] MKUltraII, http://enotacoes.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/recording-videoaudio-with-webcam-linux/ [23:41] @gasull When send out mail, my server uses server.example.local as a send out domain, this is not working for the relay i use. They need to have a traceback to my domain [23:41] im trying to find the netinstall ido for 10:10 [23:42] So Ubuntu is going to Unity instead of the regular Gnome Enviroment? [23:42] TheSarge: where did I just tell you to ask that? [23:42] gasull: the messege i get looks like " 550-Unrouteable address 550 Sender verify failed:" [23:42] It is a support question. [23:42] xcalibur: I haven't used postfix in years, but what I remember is that you need a real domain name that maps to your IP, or otherwise your machine will be blocked as an open relay for spam [23:43] no, it isn't. Take it to -offtopic please. [23:43] I will have to pull my 300 workstations from ubunto to Debian. So I need to know. [23:43] Yes it is. [23:43] But as you wish lmao. === heather is now known as Guest23508 [23:43] Well, my problem is I've tried installing wubi 5 times now, and once it gets to like 99-100% it gives an error that it cannot retrieve installation files. [23:43] I'm using Gnome Global Menu, I seem to recall earlier versions of global menu removing menu context items from gtk applications? [23:43] gasull: yes and that is exactly the problem :( how do i change the FQDN part? [23:43] does it no longer do that? [23:44] Would it have something to do with selecting Xubuntu for the installation, possibly? [23:44] I'm trying to fix packages; sun's java jre6 is what seems to be giving me grief. In synaptics package manager, what's the best course of action? WHen I try to remove, it says reinstal first. When I try reinstalling, I get the "Hey this is broken" equivalent [23:44] xcalibur: I don't know, sorry. [23:44] xiven, check CD - it might be bad [23:44] TheSarge: #ubuntu+1, #ubuntu-uds or #ubuntu-offtopic are all more appropriate channels to have the conversation. === rob is now known as Rob235 [23:45] xcalibur: I was just verifying that you are not impersonating a domain that isn't yours (even if you have an account there), because your messages will be blocked if so [23:45] i don't get how modules work. why isn't downloading drivers just download a module, then using modprobe to load it? [23:45] zaxon wxcam looks amazing but it gave me a wrong architecture error [23:45] im using 64bit ;[ [23:45] Guest23508, sudo apt-get install -f (attempts to fix broken packages) [23:45] gasull: it worked before when i used a excisting domain of my own [23:46] seidos, Essentially yes. [23:46] gasull: i changed something, don't know what, and now it doesnt work anymore.... :( [23:46] "Any file that needs write access from WordPress should be group-owned by the user account used by the webserver." .. how do I accomplish that [23:46] MKUltraII, did you try to Unmute Mic for Cheese? or did You try Audacity? [23:46] seidos, Get the modules from the repos so you don't have to compile and install them first. Also, sometimes you have to restarted for it to take affect. List all modules currently loaded using lsmod [23:46] xcalibur: sorry, I can't help you [23:46] edbian, so it essentially works this way? [23:46] i have audacity installed [23:46] gasull: thx anyway [23:47] Hey, why is 32 bit recommended over 64 bit? [23:47] seidos, Essentially yes [23:47] edbian, I've tried that, and I think --configure -a (on a recommendation by ubuntu in some other gui tool). I'm trying it again in synaptics and will post the error somewhere if ithere is one this time [23:47] i read through the forum and went to sound preferences but when i have cheese running there's nothing that pops up about 'sound capture' [23:47] im using 10.10 [23:47] Guest23508, ok. Usually if you can't install something from the repos it's a bug. [23:47] I keep having my touchpad driver keep losing sync which blanks out the screen and can cause xorg to crash, is there any way to fix this permanently? doing sudo modprobe psmouse works for a few minutes [23:47] edbian, so are all modules available in the repos for any hardware that has been previously supported by linux? [23:47] Spaztic_One, 64bit can be more difficult to configure/setup (i use it) [23:47] seidos, As far as I know. [23:47] MKUltraII, do it separetly from Cheese, mayby on other tab, or in recording prefs [23:48] seidos, for x86 [23:48] edbian, can you give me an example of a module that can get pulled from the repos? [23:48] seidos, perhaps some really old things are not. But the point of the Ubuntu is to have easy access to all the modules you (as a normal user) might need. [23:48] i dont understand what you're saying zaxon [23:48] MKUltraII, go to sound prefs [23:48] k [23:49] im there [23:49] ZykoticK9: but other than that, not really a difference? [23:49] * gasull going for coffee [23:49] seidos, They're hidden in packages. sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon [23:49] Spaztic_One, other then the whole - different architectures ;) [23:49] edbian, this go round looks promising. I'm also on hardy, and hoping I can still get updates long enough to get this girl's laptop onto lucid [23:49] my ubuntu just crashed, i thought linux could run for years without a reboot? [23:49] seidos, Gets the radeon driver for ATI radeon graphics cards [23:49] MKUltraII, go to tab: Input and check Mic setting, is IT unmuted? [23:49] Guest23508, Is hardy LTS ? [23:49] no its not muted at all [23:49] edbian, hmmm, looks like i'll have to investigate packaging to understand how it works [23:49] edbian, yeah, the last one before lucid [23:49] seidos, A package is just a piece of software :) [23:50] i can see the decibels move up while i talk [23:50] Guest23508, Then you're good. That's supported for like 6 months [23:50] MKUltraII, talk to Mic and check if the Bar is moving, if yes i Mic is active [23:50] edbian, well, so is a module [23:50] its active [23:50] edbian, and this update seems to be working. YAY! [23:50] seidos, yep [23:50] Guest23508, :D [23:50] Fluxbox [23:50] oops, wrong keyboard. [23:51] MKUltraII, on the top of window: Volume at Output is Unmuted? [23:51] edbian, I love it when a plan comes together. I installed xp twice yesterday, and have been very depressed since. This helped. [23:51] how do i get grub2 to REALIZE that updated from 10.04 to 10.10??? [23:51] yes everything is active and not on mute [23:51] how do I create a new user in bash and associate a home directory to him? [23:52] Guest23508, Linux leaves a lot to love [23:52] realeyes, sudo update-grub2 [23:52] Sean931: It depends on how well your hardware is supported (how stable the drivers are) and to a lesser extent what software you run. My main desktop has a current uptime of a little less than a month (with no hard lockups in the year and a half I've had it) , but my old intel mac locks up about once a week. [23:52] holy crap [23:52] vacho, "sudo adduser NAME" [23:52] cheese records audio! [23:52] vacho, sudo adduser (makes a folder for him called /home/user) [23:53] thank you zaxon so much [23:53] vacho: man useradd, read the pages [23:53] ZykoticK9: thanks..doesthat create hime dir to [23:53] vacho, yes [23:53] vacho, useradd can work too - but is much more complicated. [23:53] anyone have any idea when i dual monitor i can only mirror, not dual and i get lines when i do? [23:53] MKUltraII, good ;] i'm happy [23:54] im happier! hehe [23:54] thanks man really appreciate it [23:54] ron_, are you using nvidia? [23:55] sort works to sort files, but what works to sort the ouput of a program alphabetically? [23:55] no [23:55] is it possible to change the resolution of GDM? after I enables the ATI driver, my desktop is fine and effects work and all, but the login screen is still 800x600, which is kind of annoying. [23:55] MagusOTB: program | sort [23:55] What's the best way to do a fast secure delete in Ubuntu on a 500gb drive? I'm trying the "wipe" command from the repository but even one pass looks like it would take more than 1 day. How about writing zeroes? Is that sufficient enough? [23:56] maahes: pipe ut through sort? [23:56] hey [23:56] pipe? I tried > [23:56] sup [23:56] maahes: pipe is |, shift-backslash on most keyboards [23:56] jdawg, There are many things you can do. How securely do you need it deleted? pm me! [23:57] yeah I just always forget where to use pipe and where to use > === root is now known as Guest36431 [23:57] there seems to be something wrong with my screens...I have 2 screens connected to my ubuntu desktop..now I want to share the screen on both my screens...but when I choose that option (or some else) my screens starts to vibrate (I can't see anything) ..why is that :O? [23:57] I keep having my touchpad driver keep losing sync which blanks out the screen and can cause xorg to crash, is there any way to fix this permanently? doing sudo rmmod / modprobe psmouse works for a few minutes [23:57] maahes: > is when you want the output to go to a file [23:57] Does anyone know if/when GNOME 3 will be available on Maverick Meerkat? [23:57] Maahes, pipe sends one command to another - while > sends to a file [23:57] so program > sort will put the output into a file called "sort" [23:57] Edbian - how do i pm? I"m new to this chat [23:57] oh, thanks :) [23:58] MagusOTB, yeah [23:58] * Maahes likes doing things like lsmod | sort | most [23:58] I'm having a bit of trouble with getting gdm and xmodmap to play nice -- has anyone had a similar experience? [23:59] Maahes: try "man sed" [23:59] how can i make bind9 resolve custom names to ip's
