[00:00] <_16BitSoft_> sorry, but I can not think of any issues with my Ubuntu 10.10 32bit at this time - its perfect === EeveeTrainer is now known as WintermuteVI [00:01] in that case, any of the *box, or awesome window manager [00:01] agree [00:01] Benkinooby, then just remove what's in the way and put everything on hotkeys [00:01] Ah... This makes me feel happy. https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Lucid [00:01] he probably wouldn't like a tiling WM [00:01] RastaHunden: because I do have problems all the time, Ive been using ubuntu since 7.04 and Ive never ever run into problems like this.... its really frustrating and I feel the need to vent [00:01] I think I'll go there. [00:01] hey, anyone here plays armagetron? [00:02] rahduke: What problem are you talking about ? [00:02] UnholyTerror, thanks that you want to help me, but what i wrote was the line of some1 else.... ;) [00:02] Rahul [00:02] RastaHunden: after a long hard day of work I just want to sit on my couch turn on my HTPC browse the web and watch a tv show or something and every day I have to re-install ubuntu and reconfigure it, its ridiculous [00:02] HTPC == windows [00:02] rahduke, ????? [00:03] lol RastaHunden no it doesn't, HTPC == Home Theatre Personal Computer [00:03] Its windows [00:03] Theater*! === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [00:03] #windows ! [00:03] rahduke: how about installing 10.04? [00:03] RastaHunden: ##windows and get out. [00:03] in case you've played armagetron before, anyone know where in the options do you choose to play with another person with split screens? [00:03] rahduke, why would you have to reboot everyday? [00:03] RastaHunden: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_theater_PC [00:03] Sir_Konrad: Sexxi anit it :) [00:03] no mention of Windows [00:04] can anyone help me figure out why i can,t get projectcenter or gorm working in ubuntu 10.10? [00:04] RastaHunden: no you're being an annoyance. [00:04] hello everybody [00:04] UnholyTerror: after my initial isntall of 10.10 it runs fine, then when I shut down and restart after my mobo splash screen i get a blinking cursor and nothing it just hangs, cant get into grub cant do anything [00:04] I have mounted a PDC with Samba for windows clients and I have a problem with a directory whois valid users are user1 and user2, what should I do in order to make these users to have the total control on that directory and files in it ? please [00:04] * RastaHunden gets boored.. bah! [00:04] Sir_Konrad: I'm installing 10.04 right now [00:04] Gskellig, if you wish, we can talk in a separate channel. i use a 10'' netbook [00:04] rahduke, alt f2 [00:04] Sir_Konrad: you're being an annoyance. [00:04] !annoyance [00:05] UnholyTerror: nothing happens... [00:05] its really inexplicable [00:05] rahduke, it doesn't take you to another terminal? [00:05] rahduke, if it makes you feel better, i had to revert to 10.04 as well...10.10 had no support for my sound card's chipset, it works perfectly in 10.04 tho [00:05] Sir_Konrad: you have certainly shown your worth. [00:05] UnholyTerror, rahduke you will need ctrl+alt+f2 [00:06] UnholyTerror: nope does nothing, yes benkinooby Ive done ctrl alt f2 [00:06] rahduke, yes [00:06] rahduke, can you run the livecd? [00:06] also ctrl alt f3, f4,f5,f7,f8 etc etc [00:06] rahduke, it's extremely annoying, everything works fine in 10.04, dont know why suddenly my chipsets driver is gone in 10.10, and there's open bug cases on it also, but no one has a fix [00:06] UnholyTerror: yes running a live usb of 10.04 now, just gunna install that === WintermuteVI is now known as sarah [00:06] rahduke, try ctr alt f1 while booting [00:07] UnholyTerror: doesnt do anything, its as if there is no OS on the HDD [00:07] its an SSD [00:07] sardonyx: if 10.04 had support for your sound card, you can have support in 10.10 too.. Its just a matter of solving the issue.. You dont have to downgrade for just a sound card issue [00:07] rahduke, so it does a full install and then doesn't boot? [00:08] UnholyTerror: lol yup, it runs on 1st boot, then when i need to reset or shutdown it just like dies [00:08] I have so far collected 7 names and only 3 ip-adresses that sway oddly in the wind. [00:08] shadyabhi, sure as heck seems like it to me, i searched for 2 weeks for open bug reports, and for fixes online, my guess is there's not many people that have this chipset so the outcry hasn't been heard yet [00:08] rahduke, you need to check dmesg for errors. === sarah is now known as livesteak [00:08] sardonyx: k [00:09] Rahul Sundaram ? [00:09] UnholyTerror: ive boot into a live cd to check the logs on the HDD and they show no errors [00:09] rahduke, maybe you try alternate or minimal install and then, step by step add the components? just an idea [00:10] Benkinooby: its really not worth it, just going to go back to 10.04 [00:10] can anyone tell me where i can find a propper workaround for a scoutcast plugin for amarok? [00:10] rahduke, probably something really simple [00:10] *shoutcast [00:10] rahduke, ok, good. i'am on 10.04 too. never tried 10.10 [00:11] rahduke, acpi noacpi or something [00:11] is is possible to match 1 or more characters (not 0 or more as with '*') using regular grep? [00:11] zeppelin101: Yes, using '+' [00:11] aha [00:11] fat_freddys_cat, what version of amarok? [00:11] UnholyTerror: where is that in my bios? [00:11] its really 2 late im already installin 10.04 [00:11] can i use wubi to creat a bootable sd card for ubuntu netbook adition ? [00:12] twinkie_addict: No. [00:12] twinkie_addict: Use unetbootin for that. [00:12] Odd how some people can feel they like microsoft so much (given money or not to spam) that they keep doing it. Indoctrination, yes... perhaps. Sickening == Hell Yeah. [00:12] rahduke, boot options in the kernel line... press esc before the splash screen comes up for the grub menu [00:12] ah unetbootin thanks [00:12] well i think the '+' applies to extended grep [00:12] twinkie_addict: You're welcome. [00:12] but i think ubuntu has it built in [00:13] UnholyTerror: ive tried hitting ESC before, nothing happened so i guess forget it [00:13] im getting a new netbook and i oly have an sd card laying around [00:13] Benkinooby, 2.3.2 [00:13] twinkie_addict: are u using ubunut right now?

[00:13] because u can just use startup disk creator to make a live cd of netbook remix [00:13] yes but this box dose not have a card reader [00:14] rahduke, you have to do it like when the bios screen first comes up when it usually says 'press f2 or f12' for setup or boot menu [00:14] UnholyTerror: thanks for the suggestion, already wiped the HDD tho.... i gave up [00:14] the netbook will have a card reader [00:14] fat_freddys_cat, http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/SHOUTcast+service?content=116823 [00:15] hey - is there any way to share an internet connection via a crossover cable in ubuntu?

[00:18] they make the 10.04 UNR download almost impossible to find [00:19] thanks rww [00:19] ilyekkakai, ok,the best thing is if you look up how to set up firewalls, because your pc will be more or less in the position of a firewall. all i know is that you need to enable ipv4 forwarding [00:19] Benkinooby, thanks for quick help [00:19] Benkinooby, PC connected via wireless to ADSL router. laptop not currently connected to anything, but has a free ethernet port, and I have a crossover cable.

[02:22] ): [02:23] [thor]: I have more then 4GB RAM... :\ [02:23] <[thor]> Sir_Konrad: use the -pae build :D [02:23] <[thor]> Sir_Konrad: i use 32Bit with 6GB [02:23] oh! XD [02:23] [thor]: Where get -pae build? [02:23] [thor]: what's the flag for -pae? [02:23] !pae | andai [02:23] andai: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info === Guest10290 is now known as Manny10290 [02:24] So do a regular 32bit install then this weird kernel? [02:24] * andai having 64bit related troubles myself :D [02:24] just do the 64bit! [02:24] hello [02:24] Hi all. [02:24] i need help bridging my eth0 [02:24] where should I start looking if my laptop's microphone doesn't show up in pulse audio's inputs? [02:25] <_spacer_> i have some questions regarding vnc4server anyone familiar with that? [02:25] arg, conflicting advice. 64 or 32 with pae?? [02:25] UnholyTerror: use 64-bit? [02:25] wgy not? [02:25] more specifically editing my interfaces file [02:25] UnholyTerror: I dunno. Will it cause trouble? [02:25] Will I be able to run 32 bit apps? [02:25] <[thor]> Sir_Konrad: http://uppix.net/0/8/1/b27944f17c3d767fefa2c48330f89.png [02:25] andai: your advice? [02:26] Sir_Konrad: MINECRAFT WON'T WORK!!! [02:26] lol [02:26] Sir_Konrad, sure if you have a need you can install the 32bit libs [02:26] Manny10290, have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge [02:26] [thor]: wow 6GB on 32... [02:26] Sir_Konrad, are you doing something special? [02:27] andai: LOL! :D [02:27] hello [02:27] UnholyTerror: hmm... define what you mean by special. :\ [02:27] UnholyTerror: I want to use my box to the best of its abilities. I have a 64-bit machine with more then 4GB RAM. [02:28] Sir_Konrad, then use a 64bit OS [02:28] UnholyTerror: and I shouldn't have any trouble with 32-bit apps if I install the 32 bit libs. [02:28] Sir_Konrad, heavy video conversion should see a good increase [02:28] UnholyTerror: ah, then I'll need 64. [02:29] UnholyTerror: how do you install 32-bit libs? [02:29] Sir_Konrad, you only need 32bit libs if something gives you trouble. [02:29] UnholyTerror: oh ok. :) [02:29] UnholyTerror: I'll come back and ask when that happens. [02:29] Sir_Konrad, they are in the repositories... doubt you'll need them. [02:29] I am confused. My iPod works fine, but no media player can read its database anymore. [02:29] It's usually the reverse [02:32] Sir_Konrad, the "general" thing to get 32bit working on Ubuntu is called ia32-libs - if you need some specific library, check out the getlibs script (search forum/internet for download link) [02:32] gtkpod fails because it can't read the play counts file. I cannot restore the play counts file from a backup because it is a read-only system file. What the hell [02:33] Rhythmbox still shows as "0 tracks" [02:33] VLC failed to initialize your sound output device (if any). Please update alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or higher to try to fix this issue. [02:33] there is no update [02:33] Aaaand amarok can't initialize it because it says it's read only (it's not read-only until i run Amarok)....... [02:34] I say, Windows time? :D [02:34] run amarok first [02:34] andai: windows? do you mean itunes? you know how unholy that is [02:34] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I'd like to know if any of you guys know a way to customize my keyboard layout. I'd like a different " (I have it pasted) when I press the '" button. How could I do it? [02:35] lahwran UnholyTerror: Yes iTunes, i just said i ran amarok and it failed :P [02:35] run amarok before you mount the ipod! [02:35] UnholyTerror uh [02:36] i mean try [02:36] How do I get double-siding printing to work in 10.10? Each time I select double-side, it says that is incompatible with 8.5x11 paper. [02:36] alright amarok gave no errors this time [02:36] assuming it loaded the iPod fine [02:37] i haven't used amarok in years, where did the files go? :P [02:37] in the unity interface can I add widgets to the top panel? [02:37] Ok, downloaded and installed Meerkat Netbook into a Guest on OSX (VirtualBox) originally got errors saying "NO driver found" etc. so I booted into Desktop and installed the VB x11 guest addtions. [02:37] rebooted [02:38] UnholyTerror: Oh it didn't load the iPod yet. How do i tell it to? [02:38] how do I tell networkmanager not to dhcp a wireless connection? [02:38] now when I login to the netbook addtion all I get is a background image... NO UI. [02:38] any ideas? [02:38] os2mac, youtube 'hackintosh'. [02:39] andai, is it plugged in? [02:39] trojan_spike: why? [02:39] trojan_spike: yeah why!? [02:39] os2mac, i didn't have any luck getting Unity to work in VBox (on an ubuntu host), you might want to try asking in the #vbox channel IF you don't get an answer here. Good luck. [02:39] UnholyTerror: Yeah. Nothing happens until i mount it, at which point i get weird errors about files not existing, it not being initialized, and the FS being read only. [02:39] when i try to edit the permission file it says that i have been denied permission [02:39] how do i tell grub to have linux NOT to try mounting /data? (/dev/sdb1) [02:39] interfaces file* [02:39] andai, how are you mounting it? [02:40] os2mac: yeah ignore the hackintosh thing. it won't help you. [02:40] UnholyTerror: ....click [02:40] because PC's cant install apple unless u do stuff to it.. i.e some software / drivers or something [02:40] no click.... [02:40] UnholyTerror: I tried with Disk Utility, i tried with thunar (just clicking), i tried from within amarok itself (same shit) [02:40] terminal->mount [02:40] trojan_spike: pay attention. he's installing ubuntu on a mac via a virtual machine [02:40] I like how all the 2007 launchpad.net posts come up first in a google search. [02:41] you have to create a temp folder first like /media/ipod [02:41] lol,, cheeky fuk,, 'pay attention' === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [02:41] !language | andai [02:41] andai: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:41] then -> mount /dev/sd?? /media/ipod rw [02:41] it should install then on a mac [02:42] !language | trojan_spike [02:42] trojan_spike: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:42] IdleOne: Scheiße! [02:42] =D [02:42] trojan_spike: oh it installed just won't bring up the UI. [02:42] language urself.. [02:42] why when I update my lucid it say in need to do partial upgrade? [02:43] get the add-on download ? [02:43] UnholyTerror: Same **** :P [02:43] UnholyTerror: Terminally, that is [02:43] what does "link-local only" do in the ipv4 settings of a network in networkmanager? [02:43] skumara, DON'T do partial upgrades! Install and use "aptitude" and use the command "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" to install what can be upgraded. "partial upgrade" really means, 'it's going to break your system' [02:43] not even openoffice can print duplex anymore. [02:43] andai, did you mount it manually - what error? [02:43] andai: obfuscated bad language is still bad. Please don't. [02:43] andai: obfusicated swearing is still considered swearing in the ubuntu namespace [02:44] IdleOne: wow twice in a row [02:44] IdleOne: Shoot! My bad :/ [02:44] how do i tell grub to have linux NOT to try mounting /data? (/dev/sdb1) [02:44] upgrdman: that's in /etc/fstab [02:44] do i need to upgrade? i got no issue with lucid. [02:44] UnholyTerror: The same one. That iTunesDB doesn't exist (it does) and the iPod needs to be initialized before i can use it. if i say no, i can't use it, if i say yes, i get write errors [02:44] !fstab | upgrdman [02:44] upgrdman: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [02:44] upgrdman, grub isn't related to mounted - fstab is [02:45] andai, what did you type to mount it? [02:45] what jackwaggon disaster. [02:45] UnholyTerror: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mount/iPod [02:45] skumara, the "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" doesn't upgrade your system to new version! it safely updates your current system. [02:45] hey guys i'm trying to get a dvb-t device working that uses AF9015 and QT1010. i've managed to get it working with me-tv, but for some reason it won't work with some command line tools such as dvbtune and dvbscan. Anyone got any ideas? [02:46] UnholyTerror: */media/iPod [02:46] try adding a rw to the end of that [02:46] what does "link-local only" do in the ipv4 settings of a network in networkmanager? [02:46] andai, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/ipod rw [02:46] skumara, are you using 10.04 LTS? [02:47] lahwran, zykoticK9: the problem isnt with fstab. i cant even boot up linux because it hangs up for hours when attempting to mount /data. /data is on a failing disk [02:47] ZykoticK9, thank you. I will safe-upgrade my system. regarding ubuntu maverik can we upgrade current system using the dvd version? how? [02:47] trojan_spike, yes. 10.04 [02:47] LTS [02:47] upgrdman, look in /etc/fstab [02:47] do you want to upgrade to 10.10 or keep it as it is? [02:47] UnholyTerror: That doesn't work, you need -o rw. But that didn't work either. [02:47] lahwran, zykoticK9: is there a boot parameter i can set to tell linux not to attempt mounting that partition [02:47] upgrdman: it is too in /etc/fstab. if you can't boot, use a livecd. [02:47] upgrdman, comment out /data [02:48] Does anyone know how can I customize my keyboard layout? [02:48] upgrdman, no [02:48] UnholyTerror: iPod was not initialized: failed to write Sysinfo file to iPod, make sure you have write permissions to the iPod [02:48] upgrdman: oh I get what you mean! no, I don't think so, you'll need a livecd [02:48] can anyone recommend a good multi-clipboard for ubuntu, linux [02:48] UnholyTerror, any way to do that without booting linux? [02:48] vuln, 'preferences' [02:48] trojan_spike, i want to keep 10.04 [02:48] andai, eject or sudo umount /dev/sdb1 [02:49] UnholyTerror: done [02:49] has anyone ever seen Print Two-Sided work on 10.10? This is the first release of many where the pulldown does not even show up. [02:49] k,, thats fine.. [02:49] andai, wait 10 secs then plug it back in. [02:49] andai, see if it mounts right this time... it's a permissions problem [02:49] trojan_spike: you are being very unhelpful, please stop attempting to help people because you're giving bad info [02:49] sounds like [02:49] anyone hear of the Ubuntu changing their name ? http://tinyurl.com/267tpkc [02:50] lahwran, explain how im giving BAD advice? [02:50] UnholyTerror: I disabled auto-mount (a few minutes ago, after the problem started). Should i click-mount it? [02:50] not yet [02:50] trojan_spike: not this way, I guess. I mean changing the result when I press a specific button [02:50] like pressing Y and appearing X [02:50] :) [02:50] UnholyTerror: Amarok's being... pretty quiet [02:51] andai, Amaroks not see it at all? [02:51] yea,, keyboard input methods.. [02:52] Does anybody know how I can find out what kind of RAM my computer uses? [02:52] trojan_spike: thank you, you appear to be being helpful now. [02:52] upgrdman: does boot parameter hdb=noprobe would help? [02:52] UnholyTerror: Where would it be if it did? [02:53] lahwran, do i.. well thats much appreciated. Now get off my back? [02:53] how do I tell networkmanager not to do dhcp on a connection? [02:53] how do i get permissionif im already the admin [02:53] hold [02:53] trojan_spike: you were being unhelpful before, but sure I'll get off you back now [02:53] lahwran: which NetworkManager frontend are you using? GNOME's? [02:53] hmm [02:54] andai, try turning back on the auto-mount [02:54] rww: yeah [02:54] UnholyTerror: "also 'browse when connected'" ? [02:55] lahwran: right-click the NetworkManager applet -> Edit Connections -> pick the connection -> Edit -> IPv4 Settings (or IPv6 if you're using that ) -> change Automatic (DHCP) to Manual. [02:55] shcherbak, that help a little, but it now hangs up when it trys to mount it during boot up :( will have to try livecd and edit fstab [02:55] andai, That will just open the filemanager [02:55] Manny10290, what permissions do you need plz be specific [02:55] Does anybody know how I can find out what kind of RAM my computer uses? [02:55] rww: I know about that much, but I want no ipv4 on this connection [02:55] I am trying to ldapadd add autofs.schema on 10.04 and getting an error. Anyone have experience with this? [02:55] sion, you can install sysinfo . [02:56] lahwran: Then change it to "Disabled" instead of Manual. [02:56] sion, try 'system testing' - let it run and view the log at the end. it might be there. [02:56] n3rV3, i need to edit the interfaces file in my network folder [02:56] rww: ... no duh. thanks [02:56] np [02:56] andai, ??? [02:56] use "sudo -s" to drop to root prompt [02:56] how do you enable vanilla gnome? [02:57] UnholyTerror: Now my iPod's not responding. I'll reboot, brb 2min [02:57] Thanks [02:57] Manny10290, on ubuntu its easier to use network manager [02:57] going offline to try this networking thing bbl [02:57] sometimes the theme manager crashes and it brings me to this "uglier" version of Gnome [02:57] but that version is a lot faster [02:59] n3rV3, im tryin set up a bridge via my ethernet [03:00] cool [03:00] so THEORETICALLY .. if i wanted to play SC2 on ubuntu ... would a windows emulator be the best way to do it ??? [03:00] SC2? [03:00] starcraft [03:01] hi everyone [03:01] think wine does that well,, [03:01] shuriken_: HI [03:01] maybe [03:01] can anybody help with an ubuntu 10.10 issue? [03:01] maybe not [03:01] sc works ok [03:01] Ok this cannot just me be because it has happened on different computers for the past 5 years ... [03:01] well if there's a workaround of course... [03:01] Linux cannot keep up with me toggling the caps lock on / off so as a result words can look like THis [03:01] im pretty sure i seen it on the wine website a while back. [03:02] delinquentme: Check out the WINE app database page -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20882 [03:02] shuriken, what's your issue? [03:02] UnholyTerror: Same noodle. [03:02] andai, hmmff! [03:02] Quick question: I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 64bit. If I run "apt-get upgrade" one of the packes listed is linux-server. Any idea what that will upgrade me to? [03:03] well it's a very well known, but couldn't find a working (for me) solution [03:03] UnholyTerror: Can i resort to iTunes yet XD === quiesense is now known as quiescens [03:03] Gparted wont start. [03:03] andai, unfortunately... [03:03] ? [03:03] mic.... ubuntu 10.10.... Acer Aspire 5538G... Realtek HD ALC269 [03:03] andai, it's like it's getting mounted as root. [03:04] UnholyTerror: Weird [03:04] what? [03:04] shuriken, forum would have more on that,, [03:04] UnholyTerror: I thought you needed root to mount stuff [03:04] http://www.pasteall.org/16508 <- terminal output [03:04] why does rhythmbox stop when I switch to a console? [03:05] In unity, how do I view a USB drive. I stick in my flash drive and it doesn't show up. I can't get to my desktop view when looking at File and Folders. [03:05] i know but nothing worked, it was like my soundcard is.... alien :s [03:05] andai, it's like it's getting mounted as root is the owner... [03:05] perlmonkey2: it should be where the applications are [03:05] like on the side [03:05] andai: he taks about accesing run ls -l to see permissions [03:05] with a gray icon just above the desktop switcher [03:05] electrofreak, sound stop . might be pref need set proper.. [03:05] what is a profile of AppArmour for firefox, and is it worth enabling it? [03:06] andai, right click, -> properties? [03:06] Tictoon: so on the left app bar I should see it? Hm, it isn't showing up. [03:06] Someone please explain what this thread is telling me to do: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/657357 [03:06] In my Ubuntu 10.10 normal version on my big laptop the same drive shows up jus tfine. [03:06] perlmonkey2: is your usb lighting up? try a different usb perhaps [03:06] My iSight cam from my MacBook Pro is causing Flash to crash in both Chrome and Firefox. It works fine in gstreamer and Cheese. Does anyone have suggestions? [03:06] UnholyTerror: I'm on Xubuntu. There's no right-click > properties. What info are you looking for? [03:06] trojan_spike, more detail? where would such a setting be found? [03:06] andai, or terminal->mount [03:06] Tictoon: it doesn't light up. But its the same usb I used to install 10.10 netbook on this netbook :) [03:06] Some of these guys seem to get the biggest jollies throwing out their acronyms and codewords they know almost nobody knows what they are talking about. [03:07] I've read the Mactel page on iSight and did the firmware stuff. No dice. [03:07] interesting. try a different port? [03:07] /dev/sdb1 on /media/ANDAI_IPOD type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1002,gid=1002,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec) [03:07] andai, or filemanager->rightclick->properties [03:07] Tictoon: doh, it isn't mounting for some reason...../mount doesn't show it. [03:07] The JackWaggon Supreme Module needs to be injected into the "set unsetnoglob" variable. [03:07] i had that problem too [03:07] andai: ls -l /media/ [03:07] electrofreak, on the volume icon, click on 'sound prefs' / hardware / profile. [03:08] after i installed ubuntu i couldnt boot from the usb [03:08] was weird [03:08] drwx------ 12 andai andai 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 ANDAI_IPOD [03:08] hi, i downloaded xubuntu 10.10 by torrent and the way normally, now when iburn the iso torrent and try in my pc it runs but tha panel xfc4 crash, now when i burn the iso that i downloaded normally this doesn run, my question is: Is This Normal??? [03:08] Tictoon: hmm, I'll nuke the drive on my other laptop and see what happens. [03:08] like boot from it on a different computer [03:09] haha just try a different usb :P i just pulled out the us b i used for my UNR. its not reading either [03:09] but all of my other misfit usbs read fine xD [03:09] andai, I don't know........ [03:09] andai: are you using gtk-pod? [03:09] isaias, isnt normal. [03:09] shcherbak: Amarok, Rhythmbox and GTK-Pod all behave weird [03:10] You might have got a 64bit when u needed a 32bit? [03:10] anyone know where me-tv logs are kept? [03:10] then, is xubuntu 10.10 not ready? or what? [03:10] shcherbak: But the iPod plays fine. (It's usually the other way around: linux sees the songs but iPod says 0 tracks) [03:11] ah [03:11] found zeh problem to my problem [03:11] andai, was going to install amarok but i don't want a bunch of kde stuff on this laptop. [03:11] apparantly my favorite usb doesnt like me [03:11] isaias: Xubuntu 10.10 is out. That appears to be a bug. [03:11] so it stops gparted from reading it [03:11] stoopid windows [03:11] UnholyTerror: Lol, like i said, 200MB of kde bloat for a thing that doesn't work [03:11] UnholyTerror: Tho, nothing else does either, so i guess it's not amarok's fault [03:11] andai: gtk-pod have strange way of uploading songs, pretty much all i know [03:12] itunes it is... [03:12] how do i fix that bug? o what should i do? [03:12] in unity is there a way to add applets to the panel? [03:12] i think you can drag them there from nautilus [03:13] hello [03:13] GAHH *rage* >.< stop! crashing! >.< [03:13] i installed the server edition ubuntu 10.04 lucid and i dont' see apache on it. [03:14] apache2 [03:14] so, what should i do? keep on xubuntu 10.04 or what????? [03:14] bummer. Reformatted by usb in fat. Added my files. Still no automounting the drive. [03:14] i did a whereis apache2 and it didn't find it. [03:15] i checked /init.d/apache2 and not there. [03:15] perlmonkey2: try a restart, might be HAL or xorg or something [03:15] perlmonkey2: http://maketecheasier.com/unlock-gnome-panel-in-ubuntu-netbook-edition-une/2010/04/25 [03:15] /etc/apache2 [03:16] hi i need help with my wired intel 82566MM connection not working [03:16] it doesnt seem to recognize when i plug in cable [03:16] Tictoon: sweet, I'll give that a go. [03:16] xangua: cool, thanks for the link. [03:17] no guarantees xD im hardly a linux guru xD [03:17] UnholyTerror: FIXED IT [03:17] UnholyTerror: At least, i got GTKPOD to read the damn thing [03:17] andai, tell how???? [03:18] UnholyTerror: sudo -s, unmount; mount; then navigated to iPod_Control/iTunes, removed Play Count, replaced it with Play Count.bak file [03:18] UnholyTerror: Dunno if this solved the fact that i had to keep mounting/unmounting because it randomly switched to readonly [03:20] i don't like getting kicked by floodbot =/ [03:20] when is the hardy support expires ? [03:20] !hardy [03:20] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [03:20] anyone can help with my intel nic? :( [03:21] xerophyte: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [03:22] /clear/clear [03:22] KB1JWQ: thanks [03:22] mrconfused, looks like you have to install apache2 yourself... https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html [03:23] andai, glad to hear it. [03:23] UnholyTerror thanks [03:23] I thought I was going blind :-) [03:25] mrconfused, server has realtime timing and no gui... other options are up to you. [03:25] how can i see what version of certain software which is available in repository? [03:25] !version | xerophyte [03:25] xerophyte: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [03:28] UnholyTerror: Yay! It worked! Now my iPod works in GTK-Pod and Rhythmbox. I might mess with Amarok later. Thanks for your time :) [03:29] andai, no prob [03:30] does anyone have the backlit keyboard working?? toshiba satellite with amd components and lucid here.... suggestions please. [03:32] backlit keyboard works in bios... but not after the splash page..... what aspect of ubuntu is killing it ??? [03:33] cryptodira: it works in windows? [03:34] how clean are the dist-upgrades these days? the last one i did didn't go so well, but that was a long while ago. (iirc it was 7.xx) [03:34] kriel: no issues here, but then I'm still on 10.04 [03:35] Gnea: asking for 10.04 -> 10.10 [03:35] Gnea: no idea, i wiped the drive when i got this system and did a fresh install of lucid 64bit for amd.... changing the bios settings have no effect beyond the boot splash page.... where the backlight fails. [03:35] Does anyone know of a linux alternative for software such as http://macfreedom.com/ ? [03:36] saboot: it seems like it'd be easy enough to code up a shell script that 'ifconfig eth0 down' [03:37] !info fnfxd [03:37] fnfxd (source: fnfx): ACPI and hotkey daemon for Toshiba laptops. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3-14ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 19 kB, installed size 128 kB (Only available for i386) [03:37] cryptodira: tried that? ^^ [03:37] kriel: yeah, but perhaps something that isnt easy to kill [03:37] Gnea: nope, no intel here,,,, only amd [03:38] saboot: tempted to say 'self discipline', but you did mention you didn't want it to be easy to kill. [03:38] saboot: (sarcasm included) [03:38] yes, well. I try to just disable the wireless, but that's far too easy [03:39] I guess the best thing would be something that forces a shutdown if you kill it [03:39] ii'm having an log in issue, that i messed up and i haven't been able to fix it yet. was wondering if anyone had any idea's? [03:39] The program I listed above can only be removed by restarting [03:39] Howdie, how do I change my password? seems that it is just resets or won't change. i thought su passwd root would fix that [03:39] cryptodira: I'm not following... you installed it and it doesn't work? [03:39] kai66: yppasswd [03:39] pull up a console, sudo ifconfig wlan0 down, then close the console. all you have to do is not click on console. [03:39] saboot: ^ [03:39] cryptodira: and it won't work because it's not using acpi with amd? [03:39] saboot works for 10.10 [03:39] hi guys [03:39] does ubuntu have something similar to dxdiag in windows? [03:39] ? [03:40] each time i log in, the Appearance Menu comes up. I have to close it before i can actually log in. any idea's on how to prevent this from happening? [03:40] yppasswd not found [03:40] "Sudo yppasswd: command not found" [03:40] @ saboot [03:40] sudo pwd [03:41] /home/username @ kiss_kill [03:41] kriel: perhaps I'll code something up thats better. but thanks === mike is now known as Guest72292 [03:41] sudo passwd gives me the prompts but don't static the password, or in fact, change it at all, even with confirmation [03:42] Anything i am missing, saboot? [03:45] nitol [03:47] Gnea: apparently the toshiba option is NOT enabled in the kernel.... this may be the stumbling block [03:47] aboutme: password too short, just need a small password, nothing really [03:47] cryptodira: is it specifically set as N or M? [03:47] is netbook ram the same as notebook ram? [03:47] sympt0m: depending on the type [03:47] sympt0m: yes [03:47] type being..? [03:48] pc3200, pc2100, etc [03:48] o.O [03:48] what? [03:48] i'm not familiar with anything other than desktop parts [03:48] it's all the same thing [03:48] but i might want to upgrade the ram in this netbook [03:48] Hi, my system hangs on boot. I've just upgraded from lucid to maverick maybe a week ago. Can somebody help me? [03:49] the same rules apply to portable hardware, they're just made a little differently [03:49] yeah, I'd like to up the ram in this one, just haven't found the right chip yet [03:50] Gnea: the 'toshiba/keys' entry does not exist here.... /proc/api/toshiba/keys and so fails. [03:50] Is there a better IRC client for Ubuntu than XChat? [03:51] Snakkah: depends on your definition of 'better' [03:51] Specifically, I'm looking for something that would offer me color scripts for text. As far as I know XChat doesn't offer it. [03:51] Snakkah: yes, it's called irssi [03:52] Snakkah: color scripts? [03:52] Yes [03:52] My system hangs on boot, I get to the ubuntu logo with 5 red dots under. I can't switch terminal, but I can restart it with ctrl-alt-del. Is there anything I can do to get access to some console? [03:52] you mean, for outputting text in color? [03:52] like color highlighting for languages? [03:53] Question: Does anyone know how to encrypt more than just Ubuntu's home directory? Including the system and swap partitions? My computer also has a Windows XP partition, but I can take care of that with TrueCrypt. [03:53] Areio: cryptsetup_LUKS [03:53] Areio: cryptsetup+LUKS * [03:53] can i redirect speaker output to an mp3 file or wav or something [03:53] blakkheim --> Could you explain how that works? [03:54] * Areio googles as well. [03:54] bsmith093: yeah, just plug your speaker output port into the line-in port using a cable and set to record with something [03:54] Yes Gnea, for outputting text in color. [03:54] i've just connect the mouse on my box [03:55] Snakkah: and xchat can't output text in color? [03:55] n doesn [03:55] t work at all [03:55] fishcooker: usb? [03:55] how to make it work [03:55] serial [03:55] What's the best way to make cron entries run as a specific user? [03:55] gnea [03:55] laptop isn't seeming to detect my external at all (in fdisk and disk utility) [03:55] fishcooker: might need a reboot === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [03:56] did recently reformat? [03:56] yay01 no [03:56] Gnea, it cannot. [03:56] hey is it posable to run a live cd without a hard drive [03:57] sabayonuser3 I doubt, you need something to store temporary files on [03:57] that's possibel [03:57] sabayonuser3:yes if you have enough ram to load the OS into [03:57] somerandomdude "when in doubt restart...." [03:57] yay01 have, dual booting, windows 7 picks it up but ubuntu just won't even see it [03:57] works fine in win7 @ yay01 [03:58] thats weird, did you use the pre-package software to encrypt what is on the drive? [03:58] Snakkah: tried this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304977 ? [03:58] i cant access a folder in terminal how do i change the permission so i can access it? [03:59] Snakkah: not sure if that's the same thing or not.... [03:59] yay01 nope.. just out of box and worked, seems to work fine on other boxes, on my friends desktop he was able to use it fine (and that was using linux) [03:59] sean93 sudo su [03:59] just seems it won't detect on this one :( maybe there is something uninstalled [03:59] My system hangs on boot, I get to the ubuntu logo with 5 red dots under. I can't switch terminal, but I can restart it with ctrl-alt-del. Is there anything I can do to get access to some console? [04:00] yayo1: what should i set the permissions to so that i can access it when im not root [04:03] Can anyone here help me with configuring Conky colors? I've configured it once, but I want to change some of the looks, and I'm not sure why, but it's not changing anything. [04:05] I have a strange occurance. I am able to open up the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso fine, but when i do a md5 on the iso it is different from the official md5 [04:05] somerandomdude: don't know what to tell you, it could be that the system is encountering errors with that drive. Id say re-install the os while connected to the internet to allow all the updates, but i know thats a bit of unwanted hassel. the choice is up to you. [04:05] is there something different in the way mac os 10.6 md5 program works from the normal md5sum? [04:06] hey there somerandomdude here, still having trouble detecting my external HDD connected via USB. won't show up on this box, will on another box, and on dual boot win 7 on THIS box will detect, just not this OS (10.10) [04:06] any ideas?

[04:10] errrr... why do I need to make a account :\ [04:10] 'cause it says you do, Kage [04:10] Ok I have a account already it seems [04:11] Kage last step would be to login, mate :) [04:12] Aside from audacious, what other audio/media players are there for Linux that resemble Winamp? [04:12] I bought an Asus k52 laptop today and cannot get Ubuntu to work on it at all. After installing (works fine on the live cd btw) it boot up to a text screen with a login prompt i logged in and tried startx but no video [04:12] xmms? [04:12] !xmms [04:12] is there a room for camera chat? [04:12] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [04:12] metap0d are you looking for SHoutCast compatability? if not.. VLC is great and small, or get WINE and install winamp/foobar. my favourites [04:13] nivekc1: what kind of graphics adapter is in it? [04:13] Is this the development chat? [04:13] I am unsure Intel gma hd [04:13] kai696: I don't care for shoutcasts anymore, I just want something lightweight with a playlist [04:13] can someone help me configure the appearance of conky-colors?

[04:14] look ASAP plz [04:14] metap0d f00bar is my PERSONAL favourite, but then again, that's just me. it's lightweight and has an EQ [04:14] nivekc1: I'm looking into this [04:14] slooksterpsv: thank you [04:14] I got a question about Apache.. [04:14] kai696: The issue I had with foobar was the default interface was fugly ... I remember for any skin I would want to use there was like 8-9 plugins that needed to be installed etc [04:15] hi all need some help [04:15] nivekc1: log into the terminal what you're at, make sure you're hard-wired into your internet connection and type in: sudo apt-get install fglrx && sudo aticonfig --initial -f [04:15] kai696: Audacious would be perfect if the global hotkeys plugin worked for my keyboard all of the time. Every single time it launches it doesn't work, but if I go into Preferences and toggle the plugin on/off it does. [04:15] metap0d sorry mate, that's all the assistance i can be for you. [04:15] problem is its not for ubuntu [04:15] It works fine for me and there is already 9 skins available, I enjoy greyed [04:15] what is the official md5 for ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso? because i am getting a different one from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [04:15] slooksterpsv: isnt fglrx for ati adapters? [04:15] yet the iso still burns a clean cd [04:15] i've been to 50 different channels and all were dead so dont know where else to go [04:16] Can I create a Virtual Machine, and tell apache to redirect to te VM? For example, if I go to myhost.com/virtualmachine, I want to show some services running on my virtual machine.. [04:16] Justlookingforh: Please just ask the question? [04:16] nivekc1: it is, I looked up the model of laptop and it looks like the k52 have the ati radeon HD 5470 in them, unless you have a specific gma hd #### [04:16] hanuman: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/MD5SUMS [04:16] i need a native german speaker to transcribe 2 second of audio for a walkthrough [04:16] I simply don't understand why my GUI won't load after installing Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop. === wildbatt is now known as wildbat [04:16] cue complete mad off-topic rambling [04:16] macool: I think it's possible.. but might not be hanlded by apache?

[04:17] hi, ~ just wondering if there is any benchmarking tools for network cards in the repos, anyone know? [04:17] using the md5 command with mac osx 10.6.4 [04:18] hanuman: it's entirely possible to have a corrupted ISO that burns and runs fine, depending on what got corrupted. [04:18] macool: At our home we have shorewall(firewall using iptables) forwarding certain ports to specific IP addreses. [04:18] Diamondcite so youre saying that I must create some redirecting on iptables? [04:18] linux_is_my_hero: since limeware closed i don't thin frostwire is lognr aviable [04:18] hello I am having a couple of issues with my hp pavillion zv6000 running ubuntu 10.10. First is I cannot get this DVD to play. It isn't all dvds just this one in particular. I know it works in my xbox and in a dvd player so i know it isn't the disk. The other issue ( and this one is a lot more important) is I cannot seem to get my wireless to work. I had it working during 9.10 but once I upgraded to 10.04 it hasn't worked since. I am getting [04:18] really fustrated any suggestions on these two issues? [04:18] take it i'm out of luck then unsurprisingly [04:18] both are the same , am i wrong¿ limeware-frostwire [04:18] macool: Yes I am, but I am not sure if that's the right way.

[04:19] hanuman: you could try torrenting, if your connection works with it. it automatically checks each chunk as it downloads it, so it doesn't have to reget the whole thing if one bit's corrupted. [04:19] is it on this same server izinucs? [04:19] macool: Can't ip tables forward from the public IP(internet one) to a LAN IP(VM)? [04:19] Justlookingforh: yes [04:19] joshwoodzy: startx? [04:19] xangua: what file sharing software would you recommend? [04:19] thanks for the confirm on the md5's :) i think i know what i need to know for now heh [04:20] Diamondcite a transcription typically involves writing out spoken text [04:20] in the case of an audio transcription [04:20] xangua: on ubuntu 10.04 x64? [04:20] Justlookingforh: but might be a little dead. you have to have patients.. they are in Europe.. the continent [04:20] linux_is_my_hero: torrent [04:20] nivekc1: yeah so you can stop the fglrx install if you started that [04:20] anyone know of a camera subject chatroom? When I search all I get is chatrooms that allow cameras or webcams and thats not what I mean [04:20] Diamondcite I got no idea.. However, thanks man..

[04:22] anyone help with forced hardware detection ? [04:22] slooksterpsv: Mobile Intel® HM55 Express Chipset if that helps [04:22] nivekc1: actually that does, a lot [04:22] joshwoodzy Did u install server edition? [04:22] joshwoodzy: 10.10 server or desktop? [04:22] tim_ no a chatroom that discusses cameras ll features ll comparasones and the such [04:22] can I mount an ISO of new ubuntu to upgrade from? [04:22] joshwoodzy: use the startx command? [04:22] No, desktop [04:22] ok thanks for the help bye [04:22] Hi all [04:22] macool I need to discuss what kind of camera for a college project [04:23] joshwoodzy: after logging into the text based area ..ie tty.. type sudo service gdm start [04:23] anyone had the recent firefox update break their firefox install?

[04:25] i dont think so [04:25] slooksterpsv: is there a way to get on wireless from terminal? [04:26] nivekc1: yes, but it's a pain, imo - you have to run: sudo iwconig wlan0 essid "yournetworkname" key "password if you have one set" - and see if that works, if not hard wire would be best [04:26] nivekc1 I guess you can use an aplication named wicd [04:26] After typing sudo service gdm start it just blacks the screen, just like when I tried the startx command. [04:26] joshwoodzy: try this .. sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ... all on one line.. copy paste.

[04:29] ironsight, i also d/l gstreamer ffmeg ugly bad and good [04:29] neotreo: you probably have more than one HD.. grub got put on the "other" one.. change the boot order in the bios and you're fixed [04:30] neotreo: yes, it's a grub problem maybe [04:30] anyone use BURG here? [04:30] icchi_ What is BURG? [04:30] tim__, tried any other dvd's? [04:30] Do I have to be connected to the internet to use that command you listed izinucs? [04:30] nivekc1: it looks like it may be the kernel :( [04:30] burg is grub backwords [04:31] yup [04:31] burg is like, "pretty grub" [04:31] and its an alternative bootloader screen [04:31] slooksterpsv: it is installing a kernel from updates right now [04:31] I partitioned my hard drive.

[04:32] okay, thanks [04:32] it started on... totem for me [04:32] nivekc1: press a key on the keyboard see if it shows the screen [04:32] * ironsight tries vlc [04:33] slooksterpsv: no response :( [04:33] nivekc1: I know sometimes the display will still go to sleep under the TTYs, if that doesn't work try switching TTYs by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 or F2 or F3 or ... or F7 or F8 [04:33] joshwoodzy: that will try to fix any broken packages.. then it will update your entire system .. most likely a reboot afterwards.. from the terminal type .. sudo reboot now .. after the update === mike is now known as Guest50324 [04:34] nivekc1: if that doesn't work, wait about 4-5 min. then type in sudo reboot yourpassword see if that reboots; if the kernel update doesn't fix it try booting with acpi=off in the grub options === Sofia is now known as SofiaNoelle [04:34] tim__, http://i51.tinypic.com/vsni1e.png === gilaniali_ is now known as gilaniali [04:35] tim__, did your dvd rom work in windows? [04:35] anyone know how to force detect usb drive ? [04:36] kai696: force? no, open up system -> administration -> disk utility and mount it from there [04:36] kai696: not sure if this will help.. but if the external drive doesn't have a power supply they will then typically come with a cable that is designed to plug into 2 usb ports on the computer and one on the external drive.. it gives it the added power to run. [04:36] slooksterpsv it's not located in there for some reason :( [04:37] izinucs :) good, but they are both plugged in ;) apprecaite the input though [04:37] kai696: through a hub or direct to the computer? [04:37] kai696: is it turned on? [04:37] Hi guys. I'm on a Lenovo ThinkPad T410 . Since I upgraded to Meerkat, I've been having an irregular but frequent problem whereby my internet connection stops transmitting data (not just DNS), although it doesn't tell me i've been disconnected. if i disconnect, i can't reconnect to any wireless network until after i reboot. this happens about 1-3 times a day. [04:37] izinucs yes, and slooksterpsv it is, disk is spinning ( you can hear it ) [04:37] hi, ive a /backup mount point on fstab (a USB disk), which seems broken i guess, now i cannot boot (hangs at cannot boot /backup) [04:38] #ubuntu-server [04:38] power - boot into the recovery mode and comment it out from /etc/fstab [04:38] kai696: was this a windows formatted or mac formatted drive.. (reaching here) [04:38] how to boot into recovery mode, slooksterpsv [04:38] ironsight, dvd player yes, xbox, yes. other ubuntu boxes, yes. just this computer. Data disks work. Music cds work. only dvd's sux because this is the computer in my roon I use as a print server and would like to pop in a movie to watch before (or during as the case may be) sleep.... [04:39] izinucs it's NTFS format, it can be picked up on my friends ubuntu 1010 box and on windows 7 (dual boot) This same laptop, but not on here, i installed NTFS config though [04:39] tim__, your laser could be on it's way out [04:39] when you reboot the computer, hold down SHIFT so it forces grub to come up, usually the second option is like your regular kernel but with (recovery mode) at the end; it'll be a text based console, but we can drop into root, and run: nano /etc/fstab - find the line where it mounts it and add a # to the start of that line [04:40] slooksterpsv is that for me ?? grub boots normally anyways.. [04:40] kai696: are you on a laptop or desktop? if laptop is it plugged in? if desktop is it on the usb ports on the back or the front? [04:40] letme try this, thanks [04:40] slooksterpsv it's a laptop [04:40] kai696: try swapping the two plug on the computer side.. or use entirely different plugs. you might have one usb port on the computer that's not putting out enough juice.. [04:40] ironsight, possible. It is a really old comp. the HDD is IDE controlled [04:40] tim__, could pick up a 20 dollar dvdrom drive :) [04:40] nivekc1: that work or is it still blank? or have you rebooted yet, kernel should way be done [04:40] slooksterpsv: the updates did not fix it.. [04:41] ironsight, could swap it out with my toshiba.... [04:41] that works too [04:41] nivekc1: can you, when you get to the grub screen, press e to edit it, and go down to the 2nd to last line and add: acpi=off nomodeset [04:41] izinucs there isn't additional ports but i can try with ONE plugged in to the opposite side of the laptop (3 usb ports en total) [04:41] ironsight, any ideas with the wireless issue [04:41] slooksterpsv: i never see the grub screen [04:41] nivekc1: hold down shift when booting [04:42] tim__, do you know your model? [04:42] is ubuntu 10.10 much diferent than 10.04 [04:42] it still turns on and spins yet to avail @ izinucs [04:42] tim__, lspci should tell you your wireless device [04:42] slooksterpsv: held dpwn shift no grub.. this is not my day lol [04:42] kai696: open a terminal and type dmesg .. look at the end and see if the system recognizes it [04:43] nivekc1: sorry, reboot the computer and before it goes past the bios screen, start holding shift from that point [04:43] should i upgrade to ubuntu 10.10 [04:44] ironsight, I have numerous google sessions. at one point I had it working before 10.04. the model is broadcom BCM306 [04:44] izinucs http://pastebin.com/sdWJK8f0 [04:44] broadcom it sounds like... [04:44] lemme look it up [04:44] slooksterpsv: still nothing.. i think i'm going to give this up for the night, so much for a new laptop today lol.. [04:44] thanks for the help. [04:45] kai696: unplug the drive .. wait a few seconds and plug back in again.. then repost dmesg [04:46] That didn't seem to do anything, izinucs. Same black screen after it asks for my password. [04:46] tim__, did you try ndiswrapper? [04:46] ironsight, sorry broadcom bcm4306 [04:46] I have yet to see the GUI. [04:46] joshwoodzy: do you have a crt or lcd monitor [04:46] ironsight, i can't stand dealling with ndiswrapper, it is a bi-atch to configure [04:47] tim__, bcm4306 [04:47] erm [04:47] lcd [04:47] tim__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:47] izinucs http://pastebin.com/ZHECfi58 [04:47] I need help, trying to install ubuntu 10.10 duel with win7. got through the installation, installed grub on the hdd. when i try to start ubuntu i get an error "kernel panic -- not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)" and then some other stuff as well... Ubuntu shows in the boot menu but wont start, after error no keyboard input available?? [04:47] yup been there done that [04:47] tim__, full step my step instructions for ya :D [04:48] that didn't work? [04:48] joshwoodzy: most likely the refresh rate is out of range.. ubottu will give you a link you should read about xrandr and resetting the refresh rate (hz) [04:48] !xrandr | joshwoodzy [04:48] joshwoodzy: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [04:49] ironsight, yup been there done that, got the tshirt. did at first... broke after 10.04. I will try it again though [04:49] Well, it just seems that its freezing after I do that. The computer stops making noise alltogether. [04:49] tim__, good luck, I'll be here all night if it doesn't work [04:51] kai696: it doesn't seem to register at all.. I did notice that someplace in that post that usb buss 1 was deactivated for some reason.. weird.. I'm stuck at this point.. sorry === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12p|afk [04:51] izinucs no problem.. thanks for the info too [04:52] kai696: good luck.. try a usb stick in each port adn see if that works.. might find one doesn't [04:56] .

For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [05:04] tylerluigi: Anything is possible for those who wish to dig though source code and write their own. If you want the easiest would be to customize GDM [05:04] !partner [05:04] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [05:04] jenkinbr: you mistabbed.

[05:06] tylerluigi: ubuntu uses deb, not rpm; are you sure you are using ubuntu¿ [05:06] tylerluigi: go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. Type sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" [05:06] tylerluigi: then type sudo apt-get installs sun-java6-plugin [05:06] *install [05:06] sorry, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [05:06] jenkinbr, thanks. does GDM handle only the login screen or does it do everything for gnome?

[05:21] BuenGenio: what does free -m say? [05:21] BuenGenio: have you run top, or system monitor to see if there is a process hogging the system? [05:22] BuenGenio: if it isn't being caused by a process, is your hard drive getting full (out of space for log files)? [05:23] dsdsd [05:23] Has anyone migrated to the Ubuntu 10.10 ? [05:23] BuenGenio: there are a lot of things it could be, start digging around and see what you come up with [05:23] How is Unity compare to Gnome ? [05:24] lea123: i was just asking the same thing. I am always leary to upgrade, waiting to hear some experiences [05:25] someone helps me install hotel california on my ukulele? [05:25] hi what is the fastest way to shut down ubuntu IMMEDIATELY? [05:25] livesteak: pull the power chord [05:26] livesteak unplug it [05:27] Livesteak I am sure they are kidding [05:27] i tried unplugging it [05:27] Anita_Gofradump: i see what you did there (chord/cord - uke). very funny [05:28] but the system is connected to a battery/backup power [05:28] so what is the command line [05:28] the fastest command line way to shut down a computer IMMEDIATELY [05:28] livesteak: batter backup or not, if you unplug it, then there is no power [05:29] livesteak: unplugging it is the fastest way to immediately shut down ubuntu [05:29] livesteak: no joke [05:29] livesteak: halt -f [05:29] livesteak: did you mean the fastest way to immediatey shutdown ubuntu safely? [05:29] note that this does not unmount filesystems, flush buffers, or anything [05:29] it's IMMEDIATE [05:30] yes [05:30] ah [05:30] halt -f? [05:30] in the ~/.lircrc file there are commands like include ~/.lirc/mythtv ; include ~/.lirc/mplayer ; include ~/.lirc/xine , are these symbolic links to the actual files? [05:31] i smell you [05:31] they are not symbolic links [05:31] symbolic links are filesystem-level entities [05:31] what those commands do is tell the application parsing that config file to also parse the other files as if they were config files [05:32] bruenig: you shouldnt IRC as root! === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:32] so it says to go into ~/.lirc/mythtv and parse its config options [05:32] livesteak: you can also try "shutdown now" [05:32] Anita_Gofradump: idiot [05:32] bruenig: me too bungholio === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest97578 [05:32] Anita_Gofradump, Hey man.

[05:39] bruenig: thankyou [05:39] I have a question... How come I can control Ubuntu with my remote if I didn't install lirc? [05:40] alberto, what kind of remote [05:40] depends on your hardware, many remotes are translated hardware level to regular input commands [05:40] airtonix It's a hauppauge [05:40] !details [05:40] 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 ..." [05:40] i was wondering if anyone can offer some assistance to me, im completely green with anything linux and was in the process of downloading and installing linux on to a laptop and after booting up with the disk i got an error (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed Input/output error can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filrsystem.squashfs --- anyone know why this error me [05:41] alberto, i assume you mean it uses infra red ? [05:41] airtonix Yes, it does [05:41] Anybody with Unity experience ? [05:41] lea123, very little ..what's the issue [05:42] Gideongreene, you are trying to run the live cd ? [05:42] albech, no idea, but you need to start giving more details... [05:42] Coz : just wanted to get the feelers rather [05:42] albech, vague three word questions really don't motivate people to answer your question [05:42] Anita_Gofradump: Before you start google your mac model with linux or ubuntu, check hardware with some stress put in wifi adapter and graphic card. [05:43] lea123, oh you mean someone who knows the "ropes" so to speak :)...yes? [05:43] Yes [05:43] coz_ yeah i downloaded it off the ubuntu website and burned the image to a disk [05:43] lea123, ah ok... well I only played with it for a day or so ...so maybe i am not the right person [05:44] What was your first impression I am curious [05:44] Gideongreene, ok when you insert and boot from the cd is there a point you see a small "keyboard" image at the bottom of the screen? [05:44] coz_ yes [05:44] suggest me a mysql workbench alternative [05:44] How to upgrage ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10..? [05:44] What I don't understand is how I can control VLC player without initiating irexec or anything... [05:45] Gideongreene, when you see that... hit enter and a menu should appear with several options you should run... the first is check file integrity or check cd for errors [05:45] I'm trying to access that configuration file... [05:45] But I don't find it... [05:45] Where is VLC stored? [05:45] hello can i know how to locate my keyring [05:45] i can't login to my empathy account [05:45] karthick87: use update-manger, or apt-get [05:46] lea123, well it is somewhat "ok" certainly a resource hog... and right now if I had to choose I would go with the kde netbook edition rather than the gnome one which is probably what you have [05:46] karthick87: first is gui, second cli [05:46] what's the command to install a package? [05:46] Precisely :) [05:46] all, q? - we installed an ndiswrapper driver, but when we reboot we have to issue a depmod -a and modprobe ndiswrapper to get the driver to work, we've installed it and it even has made an alias in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper - is there something else we need to do? [05:47] Any idea why Skpye's Ubuntu version is so lousy as compared to the Windows version ?? It isn't as slick as its on Vista [05:47] Gideongreene, if you do get errors from the cd check... you will have to re download the iso image and burn it at 1x if possible eliminating most of the possible burn issues at higher speeds [05:47] sudo apt-get install packagename [05:47] smacktalk: dpkg -i, or apt-get install [05:47] smacktalk: sudo apt-get install packagename [05:47] lea123, well you would have to speak to the developer of skype about that one :) [05:47] ok i will reburn it at 1x coz_ [05:47] hello how can i reset my keyring password [05:47] :-DThank you!! [05:48] Gideongreene, there is an alterntive.. [05:48] Coz: True but isn't that asymmetry pretty ironical ? [05:48] What I don't understand is how I can control VLC player without initiating irexec or anything... [05:48] i have got a free ubuntu 10.10 distribution can i upgrade my 10.04 with that cd [05:48] Gideongreene, you can download and burn the minimal install cd [05:48] I'm trying to access that configuration file... [05:48] But I don't find it... [05:48] Where is VLC stored? [05:48] alberto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:48] Gideongreene, this pulls all files from the server as it installs eliminating download errors..however it is NOT alive cd [05:48] rrrrrrrrr [05:48] karthick87: is that the alternate cd¿ if it's not, then you can't [05:49] alberto: vlc should be in /usr/bin [05:49] Gideongreene, if you just want to test it then the livd cd is the way to go...if you want to actually install it then I would go with the minimal install [05:49] karthick87: never tried that, system-upgrade is done via net [05:49] noisewaterphd Thank you [05:49] Gideongreene, it is not "minimal" in that you dont get everything...it is minimal because it is only a meg iso [05:50] okay is the minimal install on the ubuntu website under desktop? [05:50] noisewaterphd Do you know how to change the infrared remote control configuration? [05:50] Gideongreene, rather only a 12 meg iso [05:50] alberto: and see my previous post about your remote. depending on your hardware, ubuntu may just think its key clicks and mouse moves coming in, doesn't even know about the remote [05:50] Gideongreene, let me get the link hold on [05:50] Coz : I mean if Ubuntu has to be popularised it has to focus on these little utlities to get people to know there is an alternative. There are more users than programmers [05:50] karthick87: and if you have packages in your system which are absent on cd, whole upgrade do not make sens [05:50] I installed php5 (Ubuntu 10.10) and I created a test file, but my browser just keeps trying to download it instead of doing what it should. WHere should I start troubleshooting? [05:50] Gideongreene, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:51] alberto: no I don't know how to change it. google ubuntu, your hardware, and your remote together and see what you turn up [05:51] Gideongreene, one thing to keep in mind when you start this... at one point you will get a list of things to install...you scroll the list with the arrow buttons and choose one with the "Spacebar" not enter [05:51] Gideongreene, I would go with the regular ubuntu-desktop [05:51] sukata: /etc/httpd/conf [05:51] what is an alternate cd..? [05:52] okay thanks coz_ [05:52] !alternate | karthick87 [05:52] karthick87: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [05:52] sukata: this isn't the right channel for that question though. got to #apache, or #php [05:52] Gideongreene, no problem...by the way... I only use the minimal install cd here [05:52] how do i customize GDM in ubuntu 10.10 [05:53] Tyrant91101, well it is way different than it used to be ...let me get a command for you hold on === Kraken is now known as KrakenT3ch [05:53] thanks i have been having problems installing with the live cd for a while now should have came here sooner for questions [05:54] Tyrant91101: did you upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04, or do a clean install? If you upgraded, did it go smoothly? [05:54] noisewaterphd, clean install [05:54] Tyrant91101: I'm wanting to upgrade, but don't have the time to muck around with any issues right now [05:54] Tyrant91101: thanks [05:54] Tyrant91101, this works http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/stuff/GDM-NEW-MAVERICK [05:54] tyran91101: google for compiz and make sure you graphic driver is installed [05:55] :-D [05:55] Tyrant91101, there is not "much" that can be done in terms of "themeing" gdm other than changin the colors via the theme properties [05:56] what is that binary for? [05:56] nevermind text file [05:56] haha [05:56] thank you [05:57] Tyrant91101, sorry [06:00] alberto!!! [06:00] noisewaterphd, are you still here? [06:01] I suspect it's something to do with the hard drives 3 x SCSI controlled by an Adaptec RAID controller [06:01] BuenGenio: yes, I'm here [06:01] but not sure where to start looking, apart from hdparm tests [06:02] no processes are hogging the system [06:02] it's slow right from boot time === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [06:02] BuenGenio: meaning it also takes longer than usual to boot up? [06:02] yes [06:02] Is there a channel devoted specifically to display issues? [06:03] BuenGenio: did this just start happening all of the sudden, or did you just barely install and the problem has always been there [06:03] #gnome [06:04] no, it's an oold server box that I wiped clean and put ubuntu on yesterday [06:04] BuenGenio: this is sounding more and more like a hardware issue, like maybe your drive is failing or something [06:04] anyone ever had a prob with mediatomb trying to reinstall and it was still using old configs/files? [06:04] but it's slow even when booting off the CD for installation [06:04] Exploiter, was that directed to me? [06:04] takes like 40 minutes top get to the GUI [06:04] yes [06:04] i cant seem to completely purge/remove it and install factory how mediatomb comes [06:04] noisewaterphd, hard drives are 100% healthy [06:05] noisewaterphd, we ran the diagnostics on them (both with internal Adaptec diagnostics tool and badblocks) [06:05] thanks [06:05] BuenGenio: you could try installing a different OS [06:05] BuenGenio: or just a reinstall [06:05] Is there a way to separate emails in evolution, when using multiple accounts? Every mail comes into the inbox. and its very confusing :S [06:06] yeah, trying to boot off the CD right noiw, but taking ages [06:06] and it's a dual-xeon [06:06] BuenGenio: Adaptec RAID controller, I just saw that [06:06] BuenGenio: is the raid system being used as the main drive? [06:06] for playing hd videos what are system requirements? [06:07] BuenGenio, you may want to use the alternate cd for that [06:07] BuenGenio: that is your issue right there, I'll bet if you stick just a single drive connected to the motherboard, all symptoms would clear up [06:08] BuenGenio: then just use the raid for /home [06:09] BuenGenio: also, if you are running a dual xeon, you really should use 64 bit ubuntu btw [06:09] BuenGenio: thats not your issue though, just another observation [06:09] hello [06:10] ???

[06:15] jc__: what's in it? did you try a knife? this is a computer forum by the way, if you need help opening a box you should go to the offtopic channel [06:15] murlidhar: aha, dunno then, sorry [06:16] i am a fresh man here [06:16] sorry [06:17] jc__: oh, I didn't realize we had a language barrier. that post was supposed to be a joke [06:17] jc__: if you have any questions then please ask and if someone knows the answer they will approach you.

[06:19] I tried taking the RAID card out and booting off the CD and it was still slow though [06:20] noisewaterphd, dude, you're a legend [06:20] there is something wrong with my rhythmbox,but i can't find it,i just couldn't open it and play my music [06:20] I disconnected the CDROM drive, rebooted and it's flying now!!!! [06:20] BuenGenio: use a single drive as your system drive. mount your raid as /home [06:20] jc__: no error messages ? [06:20] yeah [06:20] BuenGenio: great [06:21] BuenGenio: how was the CD drive connected? [06:21] BuenGenio: i knew you had a hardware issue somewhere [06:21] jc__: maybe resetting rhythmbox would solve your problem. [06:21] i type cmd in the terminal,but there is nothing heppened [06:21] BuenGenio: im glad it wasnt your raid card [06:22] jc__: what did you expect to happen [06:22] hello [06:23] Best DLNA Server besides MediaTomb and miniDLNA??

[06:24] they keys dont work [06:24] how can i fix that [06:24] Pi1: what hardware [06:24] jc__: what shows on the terminal when you type rhythmbox ? [06:24] nothing [06:24] hmmm [06:24] i have 2 machine in home. And a hub , a printer. i wanna set up a network like that i used to do a network with win os. if its possible, you can offer a doxument for this. i m new in linux. i have 10.04 and debian squeeze machines. thanks a lot.. [06:24] Pi1: what computer [06:25] dirty-harry, what's 'termination issue'? [06:25] subay^^: google 'ubuntu samba' for doc [06:25] dell latitude [06:25] Bananaphone... [06:25] I need help with ports. I can't get torrents to go out from ubuntu machines but they do from Win machines. [06:25] Pi1: what video card? [06:26] samba, thats it.. [06:26] it must be an ati radeon [06:26] jc__: ok open your file manager and navigate to ./local/share/ and delete the rhythmbox folder [06:26] shawnboy: see if iptables is running - service iptables status [06:26] its an old laptop [06:26] shawnboy: type that on the cli [06:26] delete the rhythmbox folder?? [06:26] yes [06:26] BuenGenio: I'm not sure! but the last time I had adaptec/scsi issues the cables and the termination were important... was a while ago [06:27] noisewaterphd: unrecognized service. [06:28] any ideas on how to fix the birghtness issue? [06:28] jc__: nautilus ~/.local/share/ enter this on your terminal then delete the folder called rhythmbox..ti will basically reset the configuration files of rhythmbox. [06:28] Pi1: ya, you'll have to google it probably, i dont think anyone will know off the top of their heads. But, for my macbook pro with an nvidia card I had to install a program with apt-get for the brightness keys to work, it was something like nvdia-blkms-something. I assume you just need the same for your video card [06:28] I can download torrents fine from ubuntu. From Win I can dload and upload. Ports forwarded. [06:29] shawnboy: not a firewall on the machine then [06:29] nope [06:29] thanks ill google it [06:29] i use pfsense and have firewall pass rule setup just like for windows except dif ports. [06:30] canyouseeme.org shows fine for win pc but can't see ubuntu machines. [06:31] noisewaterphd: I answered. forgot to add your handle. [06:31] dsf [06:31] good morning :) [06:31] what's the benefit core i3 to the gnu/linux ubuntu?! what' [06:31] morning =) [06:32] s difference between core 2 duo [06:32] shawnboy: do a netstat -ln and see if you are trying to use ports that are already bound or something [06:32] fishcooker, this is not a hardware channel. [06:32] murlidhar:i did it [06:32] fishcooker: try ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic [06:32] which one? thansk rww [06:32] shawnboy, try using port numbers over 1024 if you aren't already [06:33] shawnboy: ya, and make sure you aren't using ports that require root to use [06:33] shawnboy: (under 1024) [06:34] dancek: noisewaterphd: did it. no conflicts. using around 50,000 mark [06:34] shawnboy: maybe download wireshark and see where your packets are stopping [06:34] murlidhar: where are you [06:35] noisewaterphd: only way I can seem to get it to work (with test port button at least) is using uPnP but I don't have to on Win and don't want to use that really. [06:35] let's say I've got two files in a folder "Sxyz" and "xyzE". Now I#d like to list only either files with a leading capital or with a tailing one. I thought I can use something like "ls -d *[a-z]" but then I get "xyzE" too :( Obvisiosly there is something like "ls *[[:upper:]]" but that's somehow weird :) [06:35] how to build that patter in another way? [06:36] jc__: is it working now ? [06:36] ??? [06:36] not yet [06:36] jc__: still not working ? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [06:36] hmmm [06:36] yeah [06:37] noisewaterphd: wireshark. I guess I'll take a look at it. Gosh this is irritating. uTorrent works fine in Win. rTorrent, Deluge, and Transmission fail. [06:37] how do i get rid of grub so my system will just boot into win7? im friggin tired... now i get a rescue grub prompt when i start my machine [06:38] jc__: well i thought it was some configuration error so i think it has some other issues which i think unfortunately can't help you. hope someone else can help. good luck dear. [06:38] :what is the cmd rhythmbox %U meaning [06:39] jc__: dunno [06:39] jc__: i mean i don't know [06:39] murlidhar:thank you all the way.you are so kind [06:40] hey i am looking to use inkscape's interactivity functionality: where do i find a master list of onmouseover functions [06:40] ?

[06:42] Would I always run the risk of Ubuntu being possibly made dysfunctional by Windows Vista overwriting the bootloader of Ubuntu after its updates are run ? [06:42] Varsen: which channel? [06:43] shawnboy: ive never had a problem with transmission. I don't think its the software, just a config issue somewhere in the process [06:43] #inkscape [06:43] --- been a while since i was on irc [06:43] Varsen: That channel stops users that aren't registered and identified with nickserv from speaking.

[07:05] let me check, but i thnk its USB [07:06] xulrunner-1.9.2 update [07:06] is that ok? [07:06] yes, usb [07:07] iheartubuntu, ok ...by chance are you dual booted with windows? [07:07] gpetrakis: i cant seem to find the boot disk creator tool on ubuntu's website [07:07] iheartubuntu, what I mean is ..do you also have windows installed on that same machine?

[07:12] hmmm. i have a wireless but no batteries [07:12] iheartubuntu, ok ... well... the first thing to test here is if it is indeed the hardware... it just may be a coincidence that after the updates the mouse decided to die [07:13] iheartubuntu, but that has to be tested first,,, to be sure [07:13] arashb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Lenovo%20S10 [07:13] iheartubuntu, the thing that puzzles me is the "Virtual core pointer" listing there [07:14] iheartubuntu, did you try unplugging the mouse and putting it into another usb port? [07:15] gpetrakis: thank but I already saw that one, says it should be working fine [07:16] arashb: Try the alternate installer. [07:17] iheartubuntu, ah wait... on my xinput list there is also a virtual core xtest pointer however, below that is the mouse name so apparenlty the system is not seeing the mouse properly ...change the usb port if possible or just unplug then replug the mouse back in ...run xinput list again [07:18] !info pylint [07:18] pylint (source: pylint): python code static checker and UML diagram generator.

[08:10] Ichat: well, if there are any other packages in the ppa that those are dependent on, what would be the point? [08:11] Gnea - i want to add the xfce- test repo but only update thunar and its deps for gvfs support and i want to be able to update it with newer beta's but i dont want for example xfsession or other packages. [08:12] i just want the rest to stay stable and 'supported' [08:12] Ichat: don't think that's possible, unless there's an addition to pinning/holding that I'm not aware of [08:14] Ichat: I suppose you could pin those packages you don't want upgraded from the ppa during the time of upgrade, but then you'd have to un-pin them, disable the ppa, and redo the upgrade process to include those from the main branch [08:14] Ichat: it would basically take away your ability to do updates from the gui by throwing it in as a regular cronjob [08:15] if you did update from the gui, you'd take the chance of screwing something up [08:16] what if i could create a cronjob to auto download the packages if the ones on the server where newer than the ones in the local repository ? [08:17] i would only get into trouble if new dependancies where added [08:17] that arn't in the default repos [08:17] that's why you would want the cronjob to hold the packages back while it's upgrading from the ppa+main repositories === davide_ is now known as davide334 [08:18] ciao ragazzi [08:18] then have it disable the ppa repository, temporarily, un-pin the packages, run the upgrade from just the main repo, then put the pins back into place [08:19] of course, you'd finish it up by putting the ppa repo back into circulation [08:19] could be as easy as having 2 sources.list and just symlinking from one to the other [08:20] this whould be a nice feature for the ubuntu package manager i think. being able to filer (reg ex) package from a certain repos. and be able to either update or deny them [08:21] yeah [08:21] there's a site that you can make requests for features... forgot what it's called [08:22] or you could submit a patch :) [08:22] I hate repeating myself.

[10:56] zetheroo .. its looks alright now but its slow as poop [10:57] yes [10:57] zetheroo yes [10:57] ubuntu-issues: and rebooted after that? [10:57] I have a big question : Is it possible, using Ubuntu Enterprise, to create a private cloud across the internet ? My need is that : I need to be able to create a VM exported as OVF so clients can import it in there virtualization software, and that VM would connect to the designed cloud. How complex is this to do it ? [10:57] zetheroo yes [10:57] serard: a cloud across the internet would be madness [10:57] serard: ask in #ubuntu-server [10:58] serard: the machines need to be local to communicate at a reasonable speed [10:59] guys any light dock appz+ [10:59] ubuntu-issues: have you tried using Chromium? [10:59] ilovefairuz, thank you [10:59] zetheroo yes [10:59] ubuntu-issues: and also super slow? [10:59] #gentoo [10:59] zetheroo yes :/ [11:00] anybody here [11:00] many poeple here [11:00] lulz [11:01] lol [11:01] ok guys need your help [11:01] getting windows 7 theme to work on julinux [11:01] (woo) [11:02] Ginux: this channel is for ubuntu support only [11:02] so how do I get support for julinux?? [11:02] Ginux: check their website for forums or IRC channels [11:03] ubuntu-issues: is this issue with all pages? like Google News ... !? [11:03] i thought somebody had any ideas [11:04] Ginux: if you use ubuntu, we can help you. If you want help with julinux, then go to a place with people that know about julinux [11:04] zetheroo: what issue? [11:04] hellnest: slow browsing ... [11:04] ilovefairuz: can i ask another question? [11:04] julinux is ubuntu [11:04] zetheroo its with all websites to be honest [11:04] ubuntu-issues: have you installed Java ? [11:04] Ginux: no, it's not. [11:05] am seeing ubuntu stuff all over it [11:05] hi [11:05] rofl who said julinux is ubuntu ? [11:05] xD [11:05] its based on it if you didn't know [11:05] Ginux: it may be based on ubuntu, but it is not ubuntu (I don't know if it is). We have no clue what modifications were made [11:06] ok then thanks guys [11:06] you can contact the julinux team here [11:06] http://www.wix.com/justuselinux/julinux [11:06] hi. Is there a possibility to block application's outgoing traffic. I wanna to block "java" application to access internet, I have found the solution that uses iptables -m owner to do it, but there are some "java" applications on my system runs one time, but I need to block only once. any suggestions? [11:08] zetheroo im installing java now [11:08] heya guys, is apt-get supposed to be running on the background or whatever....i mean i did 'top' to see what is taking so much from the CPU and MEM [11:08] ok ;) [11:08] ubuntu-issues: ^ [11:08] and apt-get is at the top taking 87% of CPU [11:08] holy crap alt tab kicks ass now [11:08] anobody here having problems with amplitube 3 using jack as wineasio? [11:09] ? [11:09] Robinux: just kill the app and then restart your PC [11:09] hellnest [11:09] nice [11:09] i just killed it already hehe [11:09] and i guess i have to save and quit [11:09] firefox [11:09] and restart [11:09] Robinux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:10] ok thanks hellnest [11:10] Robinux: type in room as long as you can. Using any kind of sign lol... :) just try it.. Mine also have similiar problem when starting virtual machine service [11:11] huh [11:11] why am i having problems with my facebook games in firefox? [11:11] nemptor: what problem? [11:11] listen if i kill firefox application, after i restart the pc, will it load all the tabs i had open just like in windows? [11:11] zetheroo java is installed [11:12] hellnest: my wife is playing mall world in facebook and there is this game inside mall world that doesn't load [11:13] hellnest: is only shows pink blank screen [11:13] Robinux: firefox have an option to save your last closed tab. Normally when you just fresh install firefox and try to close multiple tab it would offer you that option [11:13] hehe [11:13] bro the thing is its stuck :( [11:14] nemptor: maybe you can try to install the latest flash plug in? never that kind of problem before [11:14] Robinux: yes, it will say that the aplication was not closed properly last time and it will offer you to restore your last session [11:14] err! i hope it works i have no choice but to kill it to restart [11:14] hellnest: ok ill try that [11:14] ohh awesome rigved [11:14] thanks guys cya in a bit [11:14] So I dual boot XP/Ubuntu on seperate partitions and just did a fresh install of XP and now my GRUB is gone (I thought it was on my ubuntu part), anyway to get it back? [11:15] Reno_: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [11:15] ActionParsnip: Thank you good sir [11:15] Reno_: i just websearched... [11:16] ubuntu-issues: did I miss your reply? [11:16] Reno_: i have a similar setup; but when i installed ubuntu, the Windows partition was removed [11:16] ubuntu-issues: seems I got knocked off the channel :P [11:16] rigved: did you install on the same partition? [11:17] Reno_: no, on different hard disks [11:17] rigved: my ubuntu partition isn't gone the grub is just gone. [11:17] Reno_: ok, just follow the link to reinstall grub [11:18] rigved:yep [11:18] Reno_: the grub config is still there, you just need to overwrite NTLDR with grub [11:18] zetheroo im reading about this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/433972 [11:19] Guys, is there anyone heard about "xrender"? Is that possible to change the setting in Compiz which is OpenGL Preffered to render 3D using Xrender? [11:19] ActionParsnip: Anyway to do that from windows that you know of or have to boot from Livecd [11:19] Reno_: windows isn't smart enough. you'll need the livecd [11:20] how do I stop a particular module from being loaded on boot? [11:20] BuenGenio: blacklist it [11:20] Reno_: get rid Windows :P and use ubuntu ^^ [11:20] ActionParsnip: Not smart enough or don't have the access to bootloaders. I've just entered the linux world, excuse my ignorance. [11:20] ActionParsnip, it's not only for aliases? [11:20] Reno_: its not flexible enough to do what you need [11:20] hellnest: I'm trying to! Gotta have my xp crutch [11:21] ActionParsnip, and what's loader.conf ? [11:21] ubuntu-issues: fun fun .... have you tried pinging? [11:21] * uLinux didn't know about julinux [11:21] BuenGenio: add the blacklist in one of the files in /etc/modprobe.d [11:21] BuenGenio: aliases go in ~/.bashrc [11:22] ActionParsnip, I meant module aliases [11:22] ubuntu-issues: try this ... it's worked for many ppl and I use it as well ... http://crenk.com/fix-the-firefox-slow-problem-in-ubuntu-10-04/ [11:22] BuenGenio: /etc/modprobe.d/yourmodulename.conf [11:22] BuenGenio: if you want to stop a module loading you add it in one of the files in /etc/modprobe.d which was your question [11:23] ilovefairuz: the filename is moot, all the files in that folder will be processed [11:23] ActionParsnip: i know, but still good convention [11:23] ilovefairuz: absolutely :) [11:23] uLinux: its yet another ubuntu spinoff [11:24] * hellnest is away: Doin some stuff [11:24] !away > hellnest [11:24] hellnest, please see my private message [11:25] ubottu: got that... sorry i'm new user here.. just try to helping :) [11:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:25] ActionParsnip, ok thanks [11:28] ehlo [11:28] ehlo [11:29] :D [11:29] Well I'm happy to be using my IRC client. === NG_ is now known as ng_ [11:30] lulz [11:30] ubuntu-issues: java installed? ... [11:30] Hey guys I implemented an event receiver in my IRC client. [11:31] :D boost! [11:31] /quit [11:31] /exit [11:35] my realtek 8169 sc just give me 100 Mbps even its capable of 1 Gbps.. the cable and router is fine (ive connected other computers to the very same cable and I get 1 Gbps). ive updated the drivers. still no luck. anyone knows what can be wrong? === SWFu64 is now known as SWFu [11:37] Hey all, can I ask a bit of a noobish question about unstable packages here? [11:37] bobec: do the other computers actually transfer at near 1Gbps speeds or do they merely identify the network as 1Gbps capable? [11:37] unstable packages on debian ?? [11:37] Ubuntu.. I guess. [11:38] they transfer at around 400 Mbps, but I guess my harddrive is the limit there [11:38] dekker3d: what you mean with unstable packages ?? [11:38] That's why it's a noobish question. I have no idea how to use unstable packages, but I want to just get the latest Blender and Ogre from my package manager [11:38] Not the versions about half a year old [11:38] Can you people help me set that up? [11:39] [AutoGreetz] HellCome !!! [11:39] oops [11:39] dekker3d: you'd be better off building ogre yourself for the latest versions really [11:39] True, true. But it's a matter of comfort. Besides, it'd be nice if my blender was automatically kept up to date too [11:40] Hey guys. On 10.10, i get the following error when running nautilus (that includes the desktop and everything): http://pastie.org/1257644 . I have tried to reinstall nautilus and nautilus-data but it didnt work. It seems like it tries to restart all the time and then crashes, which makes my cpu and fan run at full speed. Very anoying. How do i fix it? [11:40] dekker3d: for blender i agree, as thats software, not a library :) [11:40] dekker3d: you can find Blender betas packaged for Ubuntu here: www.graphicall.org/ Don't know about ogre [11:40] True, true. I already have a version installed manually. The thing is, there must be a better way, right? [11:40] bobec: not sure about what might be the problem... Try searching the forums, that's my best advice [11:41] Linux users always tell me it's much more user-friendly and simply better in almost every way than Windows [11:41] dekker3d: the better way would be to enable a repository with the latest versions. You'll have to google something like "blender ubuntu ppa" [11:42] chocobanana: thanks. ive been googling and searching the forums about 3 days now :( posted a thread yesterday [11:42] Ah, ppa is shorthand for a repository of sorts? [11:42] dekker3d: installing those packages by hand is already much easier! [11:42] dekker3d: an ubuntu repository [11:42] bobec: that was the best thing to do if you found no answers. All you have to do now is be patient :) [11:43] I've found something that looks like a ppa. "ppa:cheleb/blender-svn". Now... indulge the noob: what do I do with this? :P [11:44] Hi, I am looking at my /etc/resolv.conf file. I have nameserver domain and search. I know what the nameserver line does, but what do the other two lines do? [11:44] dekker3d: i dont know about user friendlyness.. i really have to say windows is easier :P linux is catching up though. [11:44] dekker3d: sudo apt-add ppa:cheleb/blender-svn I belive, if I remember the syntax correctly, alternatively you can add it as a repository through synaptic or manualy put it into /etc/apt/sources.list [11:44] dekker3d: but once again i'd really urge you to build ogre3d yourself to not run into troubles later on.. being able to modify the source.. applying patches etc.. its just cause of the nature of the library.. unless you want to stick to one specific stable version [11:45] DGM: Well, yeah. I kinda figured. But hey, can't hurt to try anyway. Either it's nice and I learn a useful new thing, or it's not nice and I get to rub it into my Linux-crazy friend's face :P [11:45] So far, I'm enjoying Linux. Except for the odd way dead keys work... [11:45] zetheroo [11:45] that appears to have fixed the issue with firefox [11:45] ubuntu-issues: yep .. [11:45] ubuntu-issues: oh cool ... java or the other settings? [11:45] is there something similiar with opera? [11:46] dekker3d: blergh dead keys. I disable those. They're programmer's hell [11:46] zetheroo the crenk link [11:46] And I think I will do that, DGM. I already checked out the svn. Just figured I'd add [11:46] ubuntu-issues: so changing those settings fixed FF ... ? [11:46] ubuntu-issues: what about Opera? I might be able to help there [11:46] ... The dutch language needs them, like the word "verifiëren" and stuff [11:46] *shrug* [11:47] Onyx47, i was having an issue with browsing the internet with my browsers ..so me and zetheroo tried a few different things and each failed [11:47] Onyx47, so basically he sent me to this link http://crenk.com/fix-the-firefox-slow-problem-in-ubuntu-10-04/ .. is there something similiar to opera? [11:47] dekker3d: nee man :P helemaal niet [11:47] ;) [11:47] google-chrome [11:48] ubuntu-issues: I think it has to do mostly with IPv6 [11:48] ubuntu-issues: look into disabling that in Opera [11:48] DGM: Lol. Seriously though, what do you do if you need a ë or ï or whatever? [11:48] ubuntu-issues: don't know about specific issue but there is opera:config page with all the settings [11:49] dekker3d: i use spell checkers :P but.. there was a shortcut for them.. lemme see if i can figure them out again i forgot [11:49] Onyx47: I can't find apt-add, by the way.. [11:49] DGM: Thanks [11:49] Onyx47: Maybe apt-add-repository? [11:49] dekker3d: yeah, that's the one [11:49] i have mounted a filesystem in a /mnt/storage but how do i make it accessible for all users not only root? [11:50] ubuntu-issues: here you go ... disable IPv6 globally ... http://my.opera.com/mastar2323/blog/2008/12/12/disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu [11:50] Onyx47: And then I apt-get update? [11:50] mosaiks: sudo chmod 777 /mnt/storage will give all users all permissions on the drive [11:50] mosaiks: what filesystem [11:51] dekker3d: yes [11:51] llutz: ext3 [11:51] i don't recommend that [11:51] Ooh, I have it showing up. I like. Thanks! [11:51] Onyx47: hmm the mnt/storage folder was already accessible by everyone i guess [11:51] mosaiks: chgrp it to a common group of your users and chmod g+w it then. set sgid too [11:51] but after i mounted it .. only root could [11:51] hello all [11:51] heloo [11:51] i need to install curl with ssl support [11:52] About Ogre 1.7, though: I may not want to get the library from a repository, but getting the tools and exporters from one seems useful [11:52] whmcs wont work without it. [11:52] Onyx47: please don't recommend chmod 777 since its pointless in most cases [11:52] llutz: what does g+w it mean? [11:52] mosaiks: give writeaccess to group [11:52] could you convert it to chmod XXX (eg. chmod 777)? [11:52] mosaiks: chmod -R 775 /path [11:53] okay thanks [11:53] g+w is so much easier to read :P [11:53] mosaiks: chmod g+s /path [11:53] llutz: yeah, I know, I should've pointed out it's a quick hack, should add it to /etc/fstab with proper settings for it to properly work every time [11:53] Onyx47: fstab is the wrong place for unix-fs to handle permissions [11:53] Also, a slightly less serious question: The google results for "fun things to do with ridiculous amounts of ram" are rather lacking. I don't suppose any of you has a fun idea? [11:53] Onyx47: how? [11:53] anyone have any ideas? [11:54] zetheroo it wont let me save to that file? [11:54] pc_man: compile from sources ?? [11:54] dekker3d: ctrl+' then e [11:54] llutz: but the folder is owned by root root .. i have a user mosaiks mosaiks .. do i change the folder to root mosaiks? [11:54] blackshirt: how do i do that? [11:54] mosaiks: is it only you to access? [11:54] ubuntu-issues: did you do sudo gedit .... ? [11:54] Thanks. Iĺl try it [11:54] llutz: yeah [11:54] zethero!!! i forgot to sudo [11:54] dekker3d: ctrl+shift+: then e [11:54] zethero!!! i love linux god damn [11:54] mosaiks: sudo chown root:mosaics /path [11:55] mosaiks: sudo chown -R root:mosaics /path [11:55] sorry [11:55] llutz: can you point me to manual/tutorial with proper directions then please? whatever I find pretty much points me in that direction, if I've been doing it wrong I want to know the proper way from now on [11:55] ubuntu-issues: ;0 [11:55] ubuntu-issues: ;) [11:55] llutz: okay thanks [11:55] Onyx47: man chown, man chmod, man mount should tell you basics [11:55] okies [11:55] but, curl package from repository doesn't support ssl ?? [11:55] Onyx47: the latter for allowed options to be used in fstab too [11:56] llutz: yeah, I know all of them pretty good, I guess I just thought chown wouldn't do it by itself [11:56] how do i change the group a user belongs to? [11:56] Onyx47: why not? its a unix filesystem [11:57] mosaiks: usermod or just to add user to a special group: sudo adduser user group [11:57] :-D [11:57] !info curl-ssl > blackshirt [11:57] I am trying to install the propiarty ati drivers but they come in rpm so i am using alien to convert them to deb it reports that it has been sucessful but it does not craeate any files! why is this [11:58] !info curl-ssl [11:58] Package curl-ssl does not exist in maverick [11:58] blackshirt: how do i do it? [11:58] DGM: that still doesn't seem to work.. [11:58] DGM: Is there a setting I need to change? === tomas-_ is now known as tomas-_|away === bobec_ is now known as bobec [11:59] dekker3d: no idea honestly. I rarely use those words and if i do i fix them with spellchecker software. Being able to program properly is much more important to me [11:59] Hmm [11:59] this is driving me crazy =) [11:59] llutz: that would probably be it, only time I have problems mounting stuff is with ntfs on dual boot machines anyway so I just try anything in frustration :P [11:59] how do i see what group a user belongs to [11:59] Greetings all. c; [11:59] I just got used to "-space for those. I'll probably get a lot of unnecessary spaces in there for now :P [11:59] Hey Jiuholar [12:00] Onyx47: thats the difference, only non-unix filesystems need mount-options for permissions [12:00] pc_man : you can compile it [12:00] Just wondering what people's opinions are on the new Unity interface? [12:00] mosaiks: id [12:00] dekker3d: that has annoyed me ever since they introduced that in windows xp years ago... i've had it disabled on windows and linux ever since hehe [12:01] Heh. [12:01] school question... I need to use both find and grep to rm all files with a specific extension... any thoughts? [12:01] Pc_man: i think, curl packages from repository compiled with ssl support [12:02] DGM: It is one of the reasons I haven't been too eager to switch to Linux, on the other hand.. [12:02] That, and not being able to just grab the latest blender from repository without actually knowing the details of Linux first >_> [12:02] tombaugh: man find (/ -exec / -iname) should tell you [12:02] ubuntu-issues: did you make it back? [12:03] dekker3d: i see they have deb packages for ubuntu 9 though, but you can also just download the tar.gz [12:03] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/father-of-social-networking-worms-comes-to-linux-and-mac-os-x-via-java/ , are we really vulnerable ? [12:03] dekker3d: the only "detail" you need to know is if you're running 32 or 64 bit [12:03] Nah, got it to work already. Just ranting a bit. [12:04] And apparently, there's no use for running 64 bit Linux yet? That's what a friend told me. [12:04] k thanks [12:04] dekker3d: using > 4 gb ram? [12:04] Since it won't have memory issues until 128 gb or so. [12:04] Yes [12:04] dekker3d 32 bit cant address more then 4 gb [12:04] speaking of disks, why I came here... my HDD apparently has some bad sectors. fsck just gives up with I/O error, is there anything more low level I can use to try and fix that? would be nice if it could delete a hidden partition Acer put on my laptop while it's there... [12:04] Something about a bigmem module being installed by default. It confused me too [12:05] Hi, Does anyone know how to connect 2 ubuntu linux pcs on the same network for file transfer? [12:05] dekker3d: i've been running 64 bit for a few years now. It works perfect. And anything i need to compile to 32 bit i do that in a 32 bit chroot. Its fast too. on 64 bit windows i'd agree with you.. support for that is crap :P [12:06] SpiritsInside: assign IP addresses in the same network to both machines, then they should be able to communicate. [12:06] Hi, What is the "best practise" to set a hostname? I am currently running the hostname command and adding it to /etc/hostname and adding 127.0.0.1 localhost $hostname to the /etc/hosts, is it ok to use the 127.0.0.1 or should it be the interface ip? [12:06] Actually, I've had nothing but good expiriences when I first set foot in Win7 64 bit. Never had Vista on my own pc [12:06] !hostname > lfa33 [12:06] lfa33, please see my private message [12:06] Onyx47: while i don't have an answer to your question, i wondering why you would want to delete the hidden partition, while that disk is breaking down, anyway? [12:07] dekker3d: there is a way but not with vanilla Ubuntu kernel. you'll either need to recompile the kernel or use server kernel which has that support built-in (at least it should have) [12:07] dekker3d: for me win7 64 bit has been nothing but crashy :P i guess it depends on what hardware you have [12:07] CMDR_W_T_RIKER ok, I think I know the ips (i think they start with 192.168) but how do i connect them for file transfer? do i put the IP in the browser or do i do something with command line? [12:07] ubottu: that did not answer the hosts file if it should be 127.0.0.1 or the interface ip [12:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:07] :P [12:07] ubottu: nobody suggested such a thing ever ;) [12:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:07] in reference to uudecode [12:07] yea.. we figured [12:07] xD === tomas-_|away is now known as tomas-_ [12:07] why do i keep getting the no 'begin' line error [12:08] Onyx47: Would you recommend I copypasta some stuff into a terminal and upgrade, or just reinstall to 64 bit? === root is now known as Guest76802 [12:08] how to verify if X is in vesa mode ? [12:08] SpiritsInside: you have different options for transfering files/data. Which solution you should choose depends on what software you have available, and on your own knowledge [12:08] dekker3d: to switch to 64 bit its better to just reinstall.. i think it will just get messy to upgrade automaticly somehow if at all possible [12:09] xxxx: maybe the log will tell you, or the output of xdypinfo [12:09] xpdyinfo* [12:09] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: I'm stuck with using it atm, I have all the important data backed up anyway, I just want to be able to use my laptop... besides, if it's only a few bad sectors isolating them should do the trick for the time being until I buy a new machine [12:09] CMDR_W_T_RIKER Is there any easy to use free software on the ubuntu software center? [12:09] DGM: Sooo.... the short answer is: burn yet another linux cd :P [12:09] SpiritsInside: how much data / files are we talking? [12:09] ew [12:09] who burns cds still [12:09] dekker3d: or use an usb/flash and put it on that :) [12:09] when flash drives exist [12:09] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: with out install xpdyinfo , I can read which log file ? [12:09] sipherdee: easiest might be to simply scp them, but would require some CLI knowledge/expertise [12:09] Ahh, <3. I've been wondering the same as derp_ [12:10] Burning cds does seem a bit derpy though. [12:10] up to 50gb [12:10] /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:10] some1 is firm with kupfer? my problem: if i start a termianl the first time, no problem. if i want to start a second, i can only choose "go to" what highlights the first terminal. how can i choose between "go to" and "start new"? i am under fluxbox [12:10] dekker3d: there is an "usb image creator" or something like that installed by default [12:10] CMDR_W_T_RIKER Up to 50 GB [12:10] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: thks [12:10] dekker3d: system - administration - startup disk creator ;-) [12:10] SpiritsInside: if ssh is running on your destination machine, you could choose any sftp client, such as filezilla [12:10] dekker3d: if you deside to go that way, there is a problem with it's syslinux bootloader for ubuntu 10.10 atm, but there is a workaround by typing help and then enter in the boot prompt [12:11] DGM: why do i keep getting the no 'begin' line error [12:11] when i try to uudecode a .avi file [12:12] DGM: I used it just yesterday, worked properly for me [12:12] trendsetter37 i'd help if i had any idea at all about what you are talking about :P [12:12] CMDR_W_T_RIKER OK i will install ssh from ubuntu software center on the laptop and try connecting with file zilla. thx [12:12] i'm trying to decode a video file [12:12] SpiritsInside: ok [12:12] using the terminal program [12:12] uudecode [12:12] Onyx47: it didnt for me last week.. i found a bug submission about it. But i think it had something to do with using an older usb creator on the new image if i recall [12:13] I wonder which is the best website to learn Ubuntu from scratch as a windows user ? [12:13] lea123: to just use it :) [12:13] DGM: well, it either got patched or I didn't have the latest ISO and it worked with that one [12:13] !manual | lea123 This link should help you get started [12:13] lea123 This link should help you get started: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [12:14] lea123: just do a full install and you will learn everything fast enough if you're comfortable with google [12:14] Im having trouble connecting to my wireless printer? [12:14] lea123: i would probably start at http://help.ubuntu.com and see what documentation is provided there. [12:14] Hi! I am using Core i5 with 10.04. My laptop has 4G physical memory but the OS only recognizes 2.6G, can you please help me understand how I can use the full 4G ram? Output of free -m and lshw is here - http://pastebin.ca/1976244 [12:15] Trendsetter37 I don't understand much of the technology in terms MBR, GRUB, Bootloader amongst other things .. [12:15] speaking of, I should go put it on my flash drive again on the other computer now, I'm using 7.04 live CD atm and half my hardware doesn't work :P [12:15] imyousuf, you have to install 64 bit Ubuntu [12:15] However I understand I got to make a start somewhere hence asking for advice [12:15] imyousuf, 10.10 Maverick [12:15] Onyx47: yea i was using an older usb creator when i was trying to get rid of the hellhole "jolicloud" from my netbook.. [12:15] oh you are trying to do a dual/ side by side boot? [12:16] john38: can't I use 32-bit and still get 4G? on 10.04 or 10.10? [12:16] yes [12:16] imyousuf: with pae you can [12:16] oh yeah pae [12:16] iceroot: how can I do it on 10.04? [12:16] imyousuf: install the pae-kernel [12:16] Im having trouble connecting to my wireless printer? [12:16] lea123: you don't need to understand everything at once. I suggest you start at the appropriate level of documentation, that way you will enjoy this learning process the most :-) [12:17] so, no one has a clue about some disk utility that could help me? I'd go with manufacturer's bootable CD but my DVD drive is giving up and I didn't manage to boot it from USB [12:17] imyousuf: it shouldn't matter whether you are using 32 or 64 bit you should be able to utulize all 4g of your ram unless ofcourse you are trying to use 64 bit and your cpu doesn't support it === bobec_ is now known as bobec [12:17] at least i hope you're doing out of interest, not some boss ordering you to learn ubuntu [12:17] some help? [12:17] Onyx47: yea i couldn't boot from usb either had to go the cd route [12:17] trendsetter37: my CPU is Intel Core i5 I presume its 64-bit [12:18] wireless printer, not heard of such before. that be equivalent to a network printer, only over wifi? [12:18] CMDR_W_T_RIKER THANK YOU VERY MUCH CMDR_W_W_T_RIKER!!! it worked!!!! thx again :D [12:18] CMDR :) pure interest to learn and understand the zeitgeist of our times [12:18] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, yeah network [12:18] imyousuf: if so, then you should install the 64-bit Ubuntu OS to utilise your computer to the fullest of its capabilities [12:19] imyousuf: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=47341 yea its 64-bit [12:19] john38: so what exactly is the problem [12:19] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, i go to Admnistration>Printer but it wont recognize printer [12:19] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, i even installed proprietary driver [12:19] imyousuf: you should def. only install 64bit if i were you [12:19] hmm [12:19] john38: does that printer come with documentation, software? Does it tell that it should work with linux? [12:19] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, i entered printer address [12:20] trendsetter37: I did find some instructions but it involved using grub1 which I didn't have on hand and a version of freedos that's old as hell, my try-and-hope approach just resulted in grub2 giving up on me and telling me to go to hell :P [12:20] Could we install Gnome and KDE both at the same time and not expect any conflicts ? [12:20] lea123: should be OK [12:20] john38: okay, did the driver come with documentation? [12:20] lea123: thought you may only use one at a time [12:20] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, i was working everyday but i had to reinstall linux other another machine this time it wont recognize printer [12:20] lea123: but with both installed, you'll be able to use apps in either from either [12:20] I am not installed 64-bit ever on a desktop, but trendsetter37 I have learnt from some other developers more experienced with linux that memory consumption of java related tools on 64-bit is higher, have you folks ever heard anything similar? [12:20] john38: can you ping that printer? [12:21] in the mean time trying linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae [12:21] * Cmdr_W_T_Riker brb [12:21] ectospasm : But is there a possiblity of and mishap ? [12:21] any i meant === Bobsworth` is now known as Bobsworth [12:21] since I would be using it on vista [12:21] dual boot [12:21] lea123: none that I know of [12:21] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, the other machine usually picks up network signal and install printer without a hitch this time it wont work [12:22] imyousuf: yes, on amd64 programms are needing more ram, but you will not notice the difference because its very very small [12:22] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, dont know what im doing wrong [12:22] iceroot: 64bit programs don't need more RAM, but they can address a larger RAM space [12:22] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, i did have to sudo dpkg -i --architecture force [12:22] what is meaning of dependency during installations of new programs [12:22] ectospasm: interger is 64bit and not 32bit, so its 32bit larger :) [12:22] lea123: one package must have the packages it depends on installed [12:23] ectospasm: not entirely true, as ints and pointers are twice as big.. they will use more ram [12:23] hmm, iceroot, the folks advicing me not to switch actually switched back to 32-bit after facing problems with 32-bit :( [12:23] imyousuf: yea but the work around/ or wasted potential rather, from using a 32-bit os on a 64-bit chip is far worse than worrying about the memory consumption from your scenario [12:23] hmm === tomas-_ is now known as tomas-_|away [12:23] imyousuf: the only real problem on amd64 is flash [12:23] DGM: last I checked a standard int was 4 bytes in both 32bit and 64bit, but it's been a whiel [12:23] I see [12:23] iceroot: nah.. chrome/chromium works just fine ;) [12:23] imyousuf: but flash is general a problem [12:24] iceroot: I do agree! [12:24] iceroot: flash isn't a problem here, and I use 64bit [12:24] same [12:24] ectospasm: flash is always a problem, see the performance of flash... [12:24] ectospasm: no hardware-support on linux and so on [12:24] i watch hd videos on flash players just fine [12:24] thats all the performance i'm gonna need from it anyway [12:24] iceroot: I don't notice, since I've got four cores and 8GB RAM [12:24] i still cant get it to work. [12:24] morning all - any idea why checkinstall v1.6.2 fails with "invalid package name" [12:24] ectospasm: great, 4 cores and 8gb for using flash.... [12:25] john38: both machines are ubuntu? same version? [12:25] and yea that might be it too i'm on a hexacore xD === tomas-_|away is now known as tomas-_ [12:26] john38: "the other machine usually picks up the network signal.." doesn't sound like a very solid connection! what about the machine you're trying to install this printer? does it pick up the signal? [12:26] * ectospasm throws iceroot a nickel,"Go get yourself a better computer" [12:26] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, this machine is 10.04 32 bit, other machine is 64 bit maverick but thats not the problem i had it working the same yesterday [12:26] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, this one is where the printer is [12:26] ectospasm: we dont need that here, this is ubuntu-support [12:26] does anyone know anything about encoding/decoding in the terminal? [12:27] trendsetter37: encoding decoding what? [12:27] john38: given the fact that you got it working on the same type of machine, i would suggest to look at the 'physical' connection rather than thinking this is a driver issue. First be sure that you have a 100% working TCP/IP connection to the printer. [12:27] erUSUL: .avi video files [12:27] <_dave_h_d> hi all, wrong channel probably but i get this Missing required CruiseControl sub directory "/webapps/cruisecontrol" . when i do this: phpuc install /opt/cruisecontrol and the dir exists and it is 777 [12:28] can someone explain this when attempting to start firefox? http://www.carmi.se/misterstarshine/img/Screenshot.png [12:28] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, weird i have a solid router, adapter signal? [12:28] john38: can you ping the printer? [12:28] ectospasm: you're right, int is still 4. Any pointer however is 8, and so is long [12:28] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, how do i do that in ubuntu [12:28] [12:28] erUSUL: when i try to use uudecode to decode a .avi file i get the error no 'begin' line? [12:29] ectospasm: that still increases the usage slightly :) [12:29] in the past few days, I've been checking the SMART status on my hard drive and it has gone from having 1 bad sector to fourteen in about three days time. The warning is in the "Current Pending Sector Count", though everything else seems to be good. This is a pretty new hard drive, so it's not related to age, so should I be worried about this and is there anything I can do about it? [12:29] DGM: true enough [12:29] john38: you open a terminal and type "ping 1.2.3.4" where of course you enter the IP of the printer in question [12:29] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, address of printer? [12:29] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, or router [12:30] has any one seen this when attempting to start firefox? http://www.carmi.se/misterstarshine/img/Screenshot.png [12:30] I'm looking for some help in conky-colors. The themes all look the same except for a few numbers being different colors...how can I fix this? Or is this how it's supposed to be? [12:30] ectospasm : If someone says there are 14 dependencies for installation is that quite a task to handle ? [12:30] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, oh ok [12:30] lea123: not usually, the package manager (dpkg/apt, et al.) handles it [12:31] john38: the IP address of the printer [12:31] ectospasm : OK this is the beauty in Ubuntu I suppose - Am i right and not possibly in the other flavors of linux ? [12:32] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, im trying it with this machine giving me endless output [12:32] the package manager makes life easier [12:32] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, 64 bytes from 192.168.1.102: icmp_seq=33 ttl=64 time=1.90 ms [12:32] lea123: most other distros use some form of package management too [12:32] john38: you can stop the ping process with ctrl-c [12:32] lea123: the Debian system is the ancestor to Ubuntu [12:32] but anyway, did you try to install the network printer by entering its IP address? [12:33] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, yeah in the network printer option [12:33] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, i entered printers address it says "printer not found" === Jyggaa is now known as Jygga [12:34] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, i've done this 3 or 4 times before this is only time im not able to [12:34] john38: how did you install the printer on the other machine? [12:34] hi [12:35] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, usually i broadcast the printer then other machine usually picks it up [12:35] what's this? http://www.carmi.se/misterstarshine/img/Screenshot.png [12:35] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, wpa2 with password [12:37] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, hold on if i check "available to all users" option will block it [12:37] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, will it block it? [12:38] john38: i don't know, you'll have to test [12:38] does anyone know if evolution can be removed without messing up gnome too much? [12:38] firefox seems to be messed up on my mom's computer [12:39] looks like this http://www.carmi.se/misterstarshine/img/Screenshot.png [12:39] and freezes upon start [12:39] mr_boo: thats an interresting browser [12:39] prince_jammys: hi [12:40] DGM: would you recommend installing another? [12:40] mr_boo, wierd [12:40] I was reading through the apache2.0 docs on the worker MPM. I just read that each child will have a certain number of threads according to ThreadsPerChild directive. So does each child process have a: single LIstener thread & multiple server threads in a single child process? So is this listener responsible for listening to client connection? If so may I know at which port? Because I am in the assumption that be it worker or prefork implementation, all the cl [12:40] ient connections are established with the main apache process started by root user at port 80...Can someone please enlighten on this? I am very confused :( [12:40] hello folks [12:41] why my .wmv files only have sounds and no video under virtualbox,the virtual system is xp.

[12:41] no john [12:42] i am using linux mint 10rc [12:42] i had issues with my server not shutting down before but sudo init 0 does the trick just fine [12:42] in the past few days, I've been checking the SMART status on my hard drive and it has gone from having 1 bad sector to fourteen in about three days time. The warning is in the "Current Pending Sector Count", though everything else seems to be good.

Can't even boot the installed kernel (says it can't find my root disk) - so I have to boot an earlier kernel, which then doesn't work for other reasons (e.g. X). The installation had aborted part way through (X crashed) - what options do I have for recovery? [12:43] trying to find something to can it with [12:43] I'd really rather not re-install (but I'm sure you hear that all the time :) ) [12:43] *scan [12:43] DGM: yeah, but this will have been the second drive to die on the same mobo, plus my DVD drive doesn't ever work properly either, so I'm starting to suspect there is a problem with the SATA ports [12:44] Mr_Krol,ok,so what virtual machine do you use? [12:44] gaelfx maybe the controller is breaking down or not so well supported or something [12:44] I just wonder if there's any way I can diagnose a SATA port problem [12:44] tried putting the same drive in another computer? [12:44] (btw, I'd be happy to revert my installation if that would be easier) [12:44] gaelfx: out of interest, did you try to scan it? [12:44] bobba: i'd suggest backing up what you need and reinstalling completely [12:45] welcome [12:45] hi I am trying to find help regarding apache. I am in the right channel? Please help [12:45] hisam, #httpd [12:45] hahaha lol [12:45] hisam: this or ##linux or #httpd [12:46] Onyx47: you mean use fsck? [12:46] gaelfx: both that and there's a scan feature in that disk utility thing (forgot the name), for me both give up with I/O errors [12:46] fuck you and you are stupid haha [12:46] DGM: Is it possible to revert back to Lucid in any way? [12:47] hi thanks very much on your response... i am new to IRC .... how should I type to join ? [12:47] hisam, /join #httpd [12:48] hi bazhang thanks a lot again :) thanks to DGM also :) [12:48] bobba: i dont know i wouldnt try that sort of thing... i make sure i dont loose anything when reinstalling.. i cant think of a good reason to try and avoid it really [12:48] Onyx47: well, in disk utility the scan won't work on a mounted drive, so of course it fails [12:49] DGM: My only reason is that the setup here is quite complicated and took me a couple of days to modify scripts to get everything working... now I'm not sure which scripts they are :D [12:49] Onyx47: but fsck is next on my list, plus I'm gonna test the performance from a live USB to see if the DVD will work there, then I'll know if it's hardware side or software side [12:49] DGM: I'll perservere and see if I can rescue the maverick install [12:49] thanks [12:49] gaelfx: there's always live cd ;) [12:49] bobba: good luck~ [12:50] sdl_init: I have a feeling I'll need it :/ so thanks :D [12:50] anyone can help me why virtualbox cann't play wmv files,problem is only have sounds but no video,virtual system is xp.

I have ati graphics card in my laptop that supports opencl and to use opencl i had to use the proprietry ati driver. But after installing the proprietry driver when i move any windows, i get glitches [12:52] xuekan: well, I never tried but if it's active and still doesn't work I guess it just can't draw video... why don't you just play those files regulary on ubuntu btw? [12:52] please help [12:53] hi doesn anyone know why at the gdm login screen I keep getting the appearance window come up ? [12:53] ubottu, the problem is that i have allready removed the relevant ppas manually and so ppa-purge can't find them [12:54] spanglesontoast: google for "ubuntu 10.10 change login screen", I guess you tried to change the login theme by forcing it to ask you which one to use and forgot to put it back [12:54] Serafeim: ubottu is an IRC info for the #ubuntu channel [12:55] you'll find a command you should enter that way [12:55] *infobot [12:55] !brain | Serafeim [12:55] Serafeim: Hi!

[12:58] Serafeim: maybe you could re-install the ppas and then try to remove them using ppa-purge [12:59] rigved: i will give it a try and i'll tell you [12:59] Onyx47,you said it's active ,so how do i know whether it's active or not? [13:00] Onyx47, is that my installation of virtualbox get a problem? [13:02] What is the meaning of YUM ? [13:02] xuekan: if your windows resolution automatically changes as you resize the window it's active, I'm sure there's a better way of checking but it's been ages since I used virtualbox [13:02] *resize the virtualbox window I mean === wet-chan is now known as wet [13:04] Onyx47, have you ever got the same problem? [13:04] hi [13:04] how to force gnome use x keyboard settings?

[13:05] Onyx47, because when i play them in ubuntu ,i get another kind of problem. [13:06] xuekan: what is the problem exactly? [13:06] xuekan: netflix for example [13:07] xuekan: netflix runs very smooth under vmware,... virtualbox,... not so much [13:07] Onyx47, like I've said just now, the online TV programs said cann't find video source. but i've solved the wmv files problem.the TV has no video but only sound in the virtual system. [13:08] collabra, you mean install it in the virtual system? [13:09] yeah, sorry, I was rebooting to live so I missed that answer... what application did you try to watch the stream in? [13:09] xuekan: no,... vmware is a commercial product similar in function as virtualbox [13:10] xuekan: but i do find it more efficient,... vmware, that is. [13:11] collabra, do you know that if vmware supports full-screen games in the virtual system? [13:11] Onyx47,thanks for your help anyway,it's really helpful,thanks. [13:12] as there a way to display the temperature in the clock app (gnome panel , ubuntu 9.10) in Celsius ? [13:12] is [13:12] ctrl+alt backspace doesn't kill x server. any tips? [13:12] xuekan: yeah,.. most games run well in vmware in full screen,... but unless you compile from source then install it,... you have to pay for it... and it's pretty spendy. [13:13] xuekan: and i [13:13] collabra: so wait, if you compile from source it's free to use? [13:13] I have some problems with GNOME and Nvidia driver. [13:13] I reported this bug, but does not knoiw what i should do now... [13:13] xuekan: you can get a source version of vmware,... yeah.

[13:16] Hi, I installed Nvidia drivers for ubuntu 10.10, my monitor goes to standby mode when GUI is started :/ [13:16] xuekan: but i do believe a source version is available,... they're opensource friendly. [13:17] collabra, ok I will try to find it.thank you, thank you very much. [13:17] np [13:17] I guess the only snag is recompiling after every kernel upgrade... [13:17] I can login to my system using netroot or root, and can login to my username also, but when I do startx monitor goes to standby, This happens after installing Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 [13:17] Onyx47: vmware, you mean? [13:17] collabra: yeah [13:18] how can uninstall the driver from shell?? :/ [13:18] Onyx47: the 'paid' version automatically updates with every kernel update, i believe. [13:20] collabra: I actually remember using vmware player (which is free) because I got a vm from college I needed, every kernel upgrade it tried to recompile the kernel module and failed miserably, only pre-built modules worked and those never came out the same time as new kernel versions -.- [13:20] Onyx47: the last version i used was 7 somethin,... and it updated automatically.

[13:22] gryllida: fire up package manager tools and start removeing. :) [13:22] one by one [13:22] only openoffice is 7 lines... [13:22] or you could just disable gdm,. and not worry about it. [13:23] disk space matters [13:23] Dr_Willis: I was under the impression new xorg doesn't use xorg.conf by default anymore? [13:23] gryllida, then either check the other links /msg ubottu puregnome or follow Dr_Willis 's advice [13:23] Onyx47: it uses it - IF it exists.. and the nvidia drivers/configs can make an xorg.conf [13:23] Onyx47: all my nvidia systems have an xorg.conf === NG_ is now known as ng_ [13:24] Dr_Willis: yes, but it creates it AFTER you ask for it, which you can't do if you can't access Gnome... :P [13:24] i see [13:24] /me does X [13:25] /nick blaaa [13:25] ceruleanwave9832, ?

I'm sending a message to notch suggesting he allow Minecraft to use open standards.

[13:38] Sm0k3y: it returned to login screen after a moment of black screen [13:38] Sm0k3y: no [13:38] this is sad, I'm actually thinking about finding my copy of windows XP and installing it just to check my HDD :-\ [13:38] Sm0k3y: i've been using for a long time [13:38] Dr_Willis, Hi, I've opened xorg.conf file now there a line with Driver "nvidia", should I just edit it as Driver "nv" ? [13:38] Sm0k3y: I just clicked on system -> preferences -> monitors [13:38] Hiyas [13:38] dhruvasagar, and its played up since then? [13:39] Sm0k3y: usually it asks me to select native driver thing, but now its says : ou do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [13:39] Whenever I try to burn a usb stick usin the usb creator I get an error message saying "segmentation fault" any ideas why ? [13:39] thrillERboy: oh, it's there? in that case yes, that should do it [13:39] my system has multiaple users. how do i set it up so they only can modify their ~ directories and not everyone on the system ? [13:39] thrillERboy: thats the basics of it. [13:39] dhruvasagar, system > admin > additional drivers [13:40] okey thanks a lot Onyx47 Dr_Willis [13:40] How can I use an active corner without mouse button for the scale plugin in compiz settings manager? [13:40] Sm0k3y: what I did was restart again, then go to the grub in the recovery console, then from there I saw a 'failsafex' grafix mode option [13:40] baba_b00ie: that's how it is by default. [13:40] dhruvasagar, see if that will update your nvidia x driver [13:40] baba_b00ie, its like that be default [13:40] Sm0k3y: from there I was given a box with 5 options, first one being login with failsafe once [13:40] someone help please i cant hear anything in chromium in fizy [13:40] noone knows anything ?

[13:41] dhruvasagar, system > admin > additional drivers [13:41] itai_michaelson , sounds froım flash [13:41] Sm0k3y: there's no option as additional drivers [13:41] baba_b00ie: chmod o-x ~user [13:41] itai_michaelson , no sound at all , cant use fizy since it has flash [13:41] Sm0k3y: btw, my application menu also appears empty :(, I don't know what's wrong [13:41] SpiritsInside: clairfy wht you mean by 'set a user' ?

[13:42] baba_b00ie: and remove read perms for "others" === ng_ is now known as NG_ [13:42] teratorn, ~user meaning the user name or is that part of the command ?

[13:42] hello everyone [13:42] baba_b00ie: your shell will expand ~user to the path of that user's home dir [13:42] itai_michaelson , i have flash , but there is no sound too [13:42] dhruvasagar, may i suggest updating it to ubuntu 10.10 [13:42] i set the home directory as /dev/sda3 but it gives errors when i try and load that account [13:42] itai_michaelson , both chromium and firefox has the same problem [13:42] Sm0k3y: well i'll upgrade tonight perhaps [13:43] aka1, so your problem is not related to chrome , how did you install flash? [13:43] SpiritsInside: you dont set it to /dev/ANYTHING you mount a device to a mountpoint. [13:43] Sm0k3y: but something is clearly wrong in my x configuration [13:43] !mount | SpiritsInside [13:43] SpiritsInside: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [13:43] Sm0k3y: can you explain why I was not able to login ? [13:43] dhruvasagar, i think that may be your best option [13:43] !mount [13:43] Sm0k3y: that's my primary concern I can deal with shitty UI, but not with not being able to login [13:43] SpiritsInside: you can set a users home to be on some other location on some other filesystem, and you could then link that to /home/username [13:44] dhruvasagar, i had the same problem im not sure on how it came about, i just rebooted my whole computer [13:44] Sm0k3y: I will upgrade at night, but I will do that once I am confident that the problem is at least over [13:44] itai_michaelson , i had them all with the ubuntu package in software manager [13:44] Sm0k3y: well let me reboot and check [13:44] aka1, and what version of ubuntu are you using ? [13:44] dhruvasagar, i meant reboot as in ran the OS from scratch [13:44] 10 10 [13:44] aka1, whats your problem? [13:45] Sm0k3y , no sound in flash [13:45] aka1, check your sound preferences for hardware [13:46] sm0k3y , how [13:46] Hi, how do i find out which version of ubuntu is mine - Is it 32Bit/64Bit? [13:46] rsv: uname -a [13:46] DR_WILLIS: So do I set the users home to /home/user2, how will I get it to auto mount when it logs in? [13:46] aka1, top right screen, image of a speaker, click that and then you will see the writing sound preferences [13:47] Hi Sm0k3y ran the OS ? do you mean install the OS ? [13:47] Sm0k3y: I just restarted and things seem normal === saftsack__ is now known as saftsack [13:47] Sm0k3y , dude , please help me iff you know something, dont bother if you dont [13:47] dhruvasagar, normal as in back to ok? [13:47] Sm0k3y: yes although there are some weird things [13:47] thanks, actually i downloaded some executables from the net. when i run them it says No such file or directory. i can see the files marked as executables and i am running from the cwd [13:47] Sm0k3y , it is not the problem [13:47] aka1, i wouldnt of given you any advice if i didnt know something [13:47] SpiritsInside: the location of the users home needs to be on a filesystem thats mounted at boot time. you can then link /home/username to /media/whatever or whever you mount it.. or just set their home to be the /media/whatever to begin with. I always use the 'link' method. [13:47] is it possible that these are for 32 bits? [13:47] aka1, pm me [13:48] and mine is 64bits [13:48] Sm0k3y: when I click on Applications it doesn't open anything, some weird dummy drop down with like 2 pixels height comes, but its empty [13:48] SpiritsInside: the filesystem must be mounted BEFOR the user logs in - i imagine. [13:48] Sm0k3y , then please help me wtih the problem , dont make me check normal things [13:48] when I click on Applications it doesn't open anything, some weird dummy drop down with like 2 pixels height comes, but its empty, when I right click and click on 'edit menus' nothing comes up [13:48] can someone explain that ? :( [13:48] ok thank you DR_WILLIS [13:48] places & system menu comes fine, but not the application menu [13:48] dhruvasagar, sounds like a bugged OS or a virus to me, not a genuine problem [13:49] Sm0k3y: virus ? u gotta be kidding me [13:49] dhruvasagar: the menus are messed up? odd.. Try making a new user - see if it affects them also. [13:49] dhruvasagar: ive had a few issues with the gnome menus over the last few days also. [13:49] dhruvasagar, i agree with DR_Willlis, try that method [13:49] dhruvasagar: had them 'freeze' open a few times in the last week. [13:50] aka1, do you get sound from other applications ? [13:50] Dr_Willis: the thing is the menu is intact from what I can tell [13:50] dhruvasagar: also been having the places menu have like the same 5 entries.. 6 times. [13:50] dhruvasagar: You could also try disabling compiz. see if the issue goes away. (as a test) [13:50] Hey. I have a usb drive at /media/whatever, how do I determine where that is under /dev/sb? [13:50] you could try deleting the menus widget then adding a new one [13:51] Dr_Willis: I have had problems with compiz before [13:51] Dr_Willis: how to disable compiz ? [13:51] Has anyone tried Acronis True Image Home for Ubuntu 10.10 [13:51] Renski: why does /dev/XXXX matter? You access drives by the mountpoint.. the mount command can tell youi what the /dev/XXX is normally [13:51] dhruvasagar: metacity --replace is one way [13:51] how do I get to/install the KDE system settings in Ubuntu? [13:51] Dr_Willis, not if you need to use dd to burn a usb image [13:52] Dr_Willis: the menu is still the same [13:52] df also gave me the details I needed [13:52] Renski: fdisk -l shows all devices seen also.. [13:52] cbrake, you mean like this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde [13:52] ? [13:52] Dr_Willis: btw, last time I had problems with compiz I placed this command in my startup applications 'compiz --replace' [13:52] thanks a lot Onyx47 and Dr_Willis I edited the xorg.conf back to nv driver and then installed the other driver in graphical prompt it worked fine this time [13:52] Thank you again DR_WILLIS!! [13:52] itai_michaelson: I was trying to avoid installing all of kubuntu, but that may be what I need to do [13:53] dhruvasagar: thats a little overkill/redundant. :) if you are set to use compiz.. that sets it to use compiz again.. [13:53] itai_michaelson: all I really want is kontact, and konsole [13:53] dhruvasagar: perhaps try the fusion-icon tool. [13:53] Dr_Willis: I know that, but the problem was that when I login, my windows didn't have any borders or anything ... [13:53] dhruvasagar: so compiz was crashing on login.. that would be weird. [13:54] Whenever I try to burn a usb stick usin the usb creator I get an error message saying "segmentation fault" any ideas why ? [13:54] dhruvasagar: fusion-icon is a good tool for working around compiz quirks. [13:54] Dr_Willis: the only fix at that time for me was to go to go to system -> pref -> appearances and select none and then back to 'extra' [13:54] twager: thats just saing 'program crashed badly' its hard to tell why. [13:54] cbrake, oh, i see what you mean, maybe you can go to the #kubuntu chanel and ask them what's the name o f that apllication (kde system setting) [13:54] Dr_Willis: after that things were coming normal [13:54] dhruvasagar: fusion-icon can restart compiz automatically if it crashes... [13:54] Dr_Willis: after a lot of trials I found the fix to keep a compiz --replace in my startup [13:54] Dr_Willis: that fixed it [13:55] cbrake, probably kde-systemsettings [13:55] Dr_Willis: let me explain a little why I got scared [13:55] Dr_Willis: Should there be an error file somewhere telling me what went wrong ? [13:55] Guys I need help. [13:55] I've got a update problem [13:56] Dr_Willis: I was using Guitar Pro 6, I printed out a document, something went wrong there...suddenly it crashed and when I opened it again it asked me for the licence information [13:56] more or less; " Hash Sum mismatch " [13:56] twager: there may be a core dump. but i doubt if that will give any good info on why it crashed that we could understand.. now a programmer may understand it. but a common user.. not really [13:56] Dr_Willis: it was like my user went weird [13:56] Dr_Willis: I got confused and restarted [13:56] is it very critical to use an LTS on a production server? [13:56] Dr_Willis: on the login screen, my gnome was weird and it game me an error message saying that the Gnome Power Management has problems [13:57] My address to Notch the creator of Minecraft. http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=68202 [13:57] nevercast, try deleting the affected file from /var/cache/apt/archives, which will force it to re-download [13:57] Thought I'd share [13:57] dhruvasagar: sounds almost like you were having memory failure/disk failure issues - causing lot sof other issues [13:57] I'd like to use 10.10 rather than 10.4 [13:57] trogdoro: its your system. Use what you want. :) [13:57] ZykoticK9: I'll do as you said. But i'm pretty sure i've done a force redownload. [13:57] Any one got an ION based pc? [13:57] ZykoticK9: Also nocache and broken proxy. as well as trying different servers in my area, and main server. [13:57] Dr_Willis: any major risks to using 10.10? [13:58] trogdoro: not that ive noticed.. [13:58] 10.10 works fine [13:58] trogdoro, why do you want to use 10.10? [13:58] trogdoro: but it does depend on what your machines are doing i imagine. === tomas-_|away is now known as tomas-_ [13:58] nevercast, perhaps the SUM it's using is incorrect then.

[15:09] dashavoo: just make sure that the pathes are not pruned (like nfs, smb-shares etc), see /etc/updatedb.conf [15:09] thevishy, if you want to install ubuntu from an external usb drive than it will need to boot from that drive [15:09] It has the option of USB also , but the thing is i have a IPOD only [15:10] llutz: we have many file systems, mounted in various places, but with symlinks putting them into a logical hierarchy, which is why I want to follow the symlinks [15:10] thevishy, you will need to format your ipod , i believe [15:10] ARGHHH!!!!!

[15:12] why the change? [15:12] I see :( [15:12] zamba: same [15:12] zamba: x86_64 is vendor-neutral [15:13] zamba: Its referred to as AMD64 for the CD images but x86_64 for the kernel images. *shrug* [15:13] right [15:13] zamba: just a holdover name, really [15:13] zamba: they are exactly the same [15:13] java broken in 64-bit then?

But the usb creation menu doesn't seem to like the minimal installer and cat mini.iso >/dev/sdb1 works, but won't boot. Any ideas? [15:37] timoshin, yes you can. Its just bluetooth [15:37] akshit_: then wait for someone to respond [15:37] and as i said before it dont mention anything about picking which version of 5 [15:37] cookiemonster_, so how far did you get? [15:37] Nub, God what do you want more..?? I'm saying you the command. This is 4th time. Just do sudo apt-get install php5.2 [15:37] thats why i pasted the inall section of the article [15:37] but I have registered... i am totally new to this ...What should i do ?

[15:39] i've always been curious about how the grahics driver works,but i couldn't find any resources about this. can anyone give me some suggestions? [15:40] thanks jrib, ilovefairuz and Pici :) [15:40] Nub, Ya sorry I forgot... ilovefairuz is correct. Anything below php5.3 is dropped from Lucid. [15:40] !who | Nub [15:40] Nub: 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 :) [15:40] : thanks [15:40] Nub: for the last time, READ WHAT WE WRITE [15:40] jrib, right under the big heading that says "Patching libx11-6" it says "Change to your distribution's dependencies directory. cd dependencies/" [15:40] Nub, And buddy please do read what a member is saying rather than posting [15:40] Pici, the repo only has x86, not x64 [15:40] cookiemonster_: that's not what you said... [15:40] i have looked at that article [15:41] cookiemonster_: No there are binaries for amd64 and i386. [15:41] cookiemonster_: mdm | 0.1.3-2 | maverick/universe | source, amd64, i386 or mdm | 0.1.3-2 | lucid/universe | source, amd64, i386 [15:41] Nub, And one more thing....if the code you want to run in 5.2 it'll also run in php5.3. So don't worry and install it [15:41] mdm in the repo's that come with ubuntu are not the same [15:42] cookiemonster_: Oh, I see. [15:42] Pici, mdm in the standard repo is something called the "Middleman System" [15:42] Whatever that is [15:42] hah [15:42] cookiemonster_: Yeah, I'm seeing that now. [15:42] Krishnandu: no it wont. already tried [15:43] I'm just curious how I'm supposed to run the third command................................ [15:43] what the hell am I compiling? [15:43] Nub: talk to the developers, they should fix their code [15:43] ilovefairuz, lol :P [15:43] It says "Then, use this command to compile and install the package: sudo make install" [15:43] but there isn't any SOURCE to freaking compile [15:43] ilovefairuz: http://phpmotion.com/content/view/16/32/ [15:43] I already installed mdm [15:43] cookiemonster_, usually you compile what is in your current folder [15:44] cookiemonster_: i get this Cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly [15:44] Nub, Dowbload it from here and compile it yourself http://www.php.net/downloads.php [15:44] cookiemonster_, whyn you have mdm installed, then there is no need to compile it again [15:44] Nub, It clearly says php4.3 and AVOBE [15:44] cookiemonster_: if you follow the tutorial from the beginning you will see what is meant by the dependencies directory [15:44] It says that you have to patch libx11-6, otherwise your compiled mdm won't work [15:45] Krishnandu: Nub: there are compatibility issues with 5.3, the code needs to be fixed [15:45] not 5.3.3 [15:45] hi guys [15:45] ilovefairuz, Ahh...I didn't knew that [15:45] Nub, Download it from here http://www.php.net/downloads.php [15:45] cookiemonster_: anyway I've spotted some dumb things already in these instructions so fair warning. If I were in your shoes I'd learn what exactly they are doing and how you should properly do it [15:45] Krishnandu: already downloading [15:45] Nub, All versions of php are available there [15:45] i have a problem. since my last upgrade, no way to get the inprocomm driver run with ndiswrapper. [15:45] Nub, Ya now compile it yourself after downloading [15:46] Krishnandu: just gotta figure that out [15:46] if a new kernel is being used, should I do something? [15:46] i have no wifi then [15:46] jrib, Yeah, I already noticed that git-clone is actually a space, not a dash. [15:46] Nub, ya...and if you need more help about compilation ask that in #php [15:46] The instructions are dumb [15:46] dalton2345, run the commands with sudo [15:46] and see if it helps [15:46] linux is so much of a pain in the arse [15:46] hello [15:47] please help me [15:47] how to fix Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35.22-generic-pae/modules.dep: No such file or directory [15:47] cookiemonster_: i did it doesn't help [15:47] please help me..

[15:47] cookiemonster_: i will reboot and upgrade grub to see if it works [15:47] will let u know [15:48] Nub, You need patience and to get everything right. Only after that you can enjoy the main flavour of linux [15:48] hi people. does "fsck" check the physical hard-drive? [15:48] i found the problem.i use a proxy in my computer which runs squid.does it matter? [15:48] progre55: no, it's a filesystem checker. [15:48] i cant hook my computer wont pick up network printer??? [15:48] Nub: use Hardy, ships with 5.2 [15:49] sipior: any other progs, then? to check the physical drives? [15:49] cahyo, when does this message occur? [15:49] progre55, smartmontools [15:49] velko: thanks [15:50] ilovefairuz: whats hardy? [15:50] progre55: "badblocks" if that's what you're looking for. [15:50] Nub: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [15:50] Question about logrotate. In my logrotate definition I'm doing '/usr/bin/killall -HUP rsyslogd' in the 'postrotate' directive. I'm finding that the PID for Rsyslog doesn't change and that rsyslog will take ~30 seconds before it will start accepting messages again. This is a centralized logging server that is getting logs from remote servers. Any idea why it would take ~30 seconds after I run logrotate before rsyslog will [15:50] Nub: an older but still supported version of ubuntu [15:50] sipior: oh yeah, that's exactly what I'm looking for, thanks [15:50] You know, there is a reason most people don't use Ubuntu or switch back to another OS. Its because nothing ever seems to work correctly when you try and take Linux and put it on a desktop....... === brianchidester_ is now known as brianchidester [15:50] Ubuntu server is god.

[15:51] god damn it.when i reset my computer that runs squid to use a proxy ,the squid works again. [15:51] kenthree: cd /path/here && run command [15:51] cookiemonster_, though this is offtopic i have to disagree: Ubuntu server sucks big time [eg. compared to Debian, which Ubuntu is based on]... [15:51] Nub: GUI or not, it doesn't matter, the packages for the server are the same as the desktop versions [15:52] dancek, why do you say that? [15:52] Is there a way to separate emails in evolution, when using multiple accounts? Every mail comes into the inbox. and its very confusing :S [15:52] dancek: cookiemonster_ : #ubuntu-offtopic. [15:52] progre55: i'll try thanks [15:52] kenthree: np [15:52] im getting crazy =( just because i did 'apt-get install docky', this bar thingie seems to be enforced on all my system's users =/ some of them dont even want it, but the default tiny traybar.. under docky/settings i only have a 'launch when computer starts' option, but that doesnt seem to have any effect. is there any way to 'disable' docky for a particular user? [15:52] kenthree: or you could run it directly from your current location if it's executable, just /path/to/the/script [15:52] KrakenT3ch: Maybe you can filter them based on destinations? [15:53] progre55: it's a poorly made php script, when it calls other files it wont work if I call it from there [15:53] oh I see [15:53] Dcite: I did that...but there are no notifications in the notifications area...after creating a filter [15:54] i cant hook my computer wont pick up network printer??? [15:54] but im able to ping [15:54] I can see how that can be an issue.. but I never used evolution that way =/ [15:54] micke_: Remove the start when computer starts check thingy, then add it to your start up applications [15:54] john38: Is this a supported network printer?

[16:21] ironsight: checking [16:21] its not recognised by xawtv or metv [16:21] ironsight:yes it does [16:21] Zer: just add a new .conf to the ld.so.conf.d === Elaine is now known as Guest43856 [16:21] Zer: seriously LD_LIBRARY_PATH is serious bad juju. i suggest you read more of the ld man page top get a better idea why that is.

[16:22] Can anyone help me please, can I run 64 bit Linux on some virtual software on windows 64 bit?

[16:22] hey all. i'm having a problem syncing podcasts with banshee 1.8 to my ipod classic 6th gen. they are transferred to the ipod and from the ipod menu i can see they are there, but if i click nothing happens, as if it was empty. however, i can find them (and listen to them) in the artist list. any idea on how to fix that? [16:23] john38, do you have your printer's ip? [16:23] yeah [16:23] do it put as http://3.4.33.4 [16:23] or just numbers [16:23] just numbers [16:23] KongfuPanda: Ubuntu 64bit works in VirtualBox but you do need AMD-V or Intel virtualization extensions on the CPU [16:24] thats strange printer "no printer was found at that address" [16:24] try http I guess [16:24] * ironsight shrugs [16:24] samn [16:24] same [16:24] shrugs [16:24] i cannot browse internet. using ubuntu 8.04. when i try to browse in firefox, it says server not found.

[16:27] thanks @ilovefairuz [16:27] sipior, before when it was working i could have sworn the network picked up all specs even mac address, do i need to include that in Network Connections [16:27] john38: yes, looks fine. [16:28] KongfuPanda: Yes, kvm lets you use the same type of processor you already have, because it uses the virtualizer that's on the chip (all x64 chips have this) [16:28] pravin: check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1042777 [16:28] Hi guys! What is 'Lid Switch'? [16:28] john38: what do you mean, "before when it was working"? what changed so that the printer stopped working?

[16:30] hello?? [16:30] sipior, yeah [16:30] LogicallyDashing: ok. Meantime I have to set up 'Power button' on my lxde-ubuntu... And turn of click-on-tap in the touchpad. [16:31] john38: if you were able to ping the printer, i'm guessing the network configuration part is not the problem :-) [16:31] sipior, ? === EagleScreen is now known as EagleScreen_ [16:31] sipior, what could it be [16:31] john38: your machine has a functioning network, right?

[16:43] hi. i have been asking the same question 3 times over the last 20+ minutes and even did "hello??" before and still got no response. [16:43] john38: in what form are the drivers? [16:43] velko: same thing, a little window says "Launcher Properties" but there's no check boxes. [16:44] Sorry I'm asking but does the shipping of Unity in next Ubuntu means it will include libgee? [16:44] my netmanager on my main machine is not connecting. before i had to reboot several times to get it to connect, so i'm just stuck in the rebooting over and over phase at the moment. but its running rt2870 drivers, does ubuntu have some sort of problem with that? [16:44] s|icer: keep asking every few minutes, and eventually someone will likely answer. [16:44] Since updating to Maverick (10.10) my brother DCP-120c scanner won't be recognized. The printer works still fine and all drivers and entries are done. Someone a clue? [16:44] vademecum, do you click by chance with the right mouse button somewhere? use the menus to navigtate to the proper dialog box [16:45] s|icer: when the network connects, open a terminal and run: dmesg > ~/good.txt when it boots and it's not connecting, run: dmesg > ~/bad.txt then compare [16:45] nunatak: reinstall the driver from the brother site [16:46] one quick question when i enter mac address in network connection do i enter in as 4F:34:33:S3 or just numbers and lettes 324gg [16:46] john38: is this for wireless connection?

[16:46] i have a live USB system, can I avoid the auto-login in tty terminals? [16:46] john38: just leave it, it will be negotiated.

Anyone use VMware workstation and have it compile the kernel modules everytime you start the workstation up? [16:47] vademecum: Just.. LEFT click..

[17:18] !keyboard [17:18] To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts [17:18] I found this topic --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1601625, did instructions (edited /etc/fstab), rebooted, but didnt help === engil is now known as nigel [17:19] besogon: I was looking for a Hardware manager ... not a package manager :P [17:19] Hi all wanna ask you all [17:19] hhow do i got to my root directory? [17:19] ActionParsnip, how do i run install.sh [17:19] How can I go to the root directory [17:20] cd / [17:20] or can copy or make a shortcut of files from there? [17:20] akshit_: cd / [17:20] where is cd/ [17:21] nothingspecial: where is cd / [17:21] akshit_: it`s a command, in the terminal [17:21] ok [17:21] john38: maybe ./install.sh [17:22] ActionParsnip: I worked around it by coipying the files for installation to the desktop, setting execbit there did not uncheck it automagically [17:22] john38: in a terminal [17:22] akshit_: go check out ubuntu-manual.org [17:22] area51pilot: :) Still it's exist. The most simliest: lshw and of course you can use /proc and /sys file systems for that. For more simlier may you can install HardInfo program [17:22] Still don't understand why I somehow am not allowd to set execbit on 2nd HDD though [17:22] bottom taskbar is bugging out... is there any way to restart gnome panel without resetting all my icons? sudo killall gnome-panel removes all icons [17:22] Ruudjah: is it mounted appropriately, do you have write access. If it's a windows binary you can run: wine /path/to/file.exe [17:22] lshw didnt return much useful info [17:22] murmurs: http://pastebin.com/pzDKS29m [17:23] nothingspecial: How to use it?? [17:23] I just need to reset my eth0 adapter [17:23] area51pilot: What info do you need? [17:23] so in /etc.fstab I should have set writeaccess [17:23] *checks* [17:23] akshit_: what are you trying to do? [17:23] area51pilot: ha. You can make it without thouse tools [17:23] murmurs: note the valid users, you only need to look at the bottom bit where I define my shares [17:23] those [17:23] fstab says proc /proc proc nodev,exec,nosuid 0 0 [17:24] im trying to follow instructions that say: "go to "os/linux/" directory" i cant find that directory [17:24] nothingspecial: I wanna open opera.exe located in C:/Program Files/Opera/opera.exe [17:24] nothingspecial: and wanna move it to desktop [17:24] area51pilot: how did you install it? [17:24] epic episode of Community! [17:24] akshit_: you can install opera in ubuntu [17:25] akshit_: That`s windows, is your windows partition mounted [17:25] area51pilot: theoretically, All operations with Net devices could be done with 'ip' and 'ifconfig' tools. Nevertheless, I couldn't up a device. [17:25] akshit_: And yes of course you can install opera in Ubuntu [17:25] ah, great! thanks alot ActionParsnip, I'll try that out tonight. [17:25] nothingspecial: I used wine to install opera for its setup and it was working fine but i can't move it to desktop [17:26] murmurs: see how leanne doesn't have access to my stuff but she has access to the shared downloads and her own stuff. [17:26] <[V13]Axel> If you want to install Opera in Ubuntu, use the .deb or the .rpm versions for Ubuntu 32-bit. [17:27] !opera [17:27] Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser. It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [17:27] akshit_: Why not install it in Ubuntu? [17:27] ActionParsnip, this is what i get dpkg: error processing ./packages/cnijfilter-common_3.20-1_i386.deb (--install): [17:27] package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) [17:28] xumuk_, тут? ))) [17:28] <[V13]Axel> john38, get the 64-bit version; I will say x64 version. [17:28] [V13]Axel, there is no 64 bit version [17:28] nothingspecial: From Where? [17:28] ah, I recognise these options from the Users & Groups menu in System>Administration [17:29] akshit_: software center [17:29] just wondering in a desktop environ why even run 64bit [17:29] besogon: sory, user pulled me away for a minute [17:29] denis_: yeap [17:29] ActionParsnip, I was missing out a step completely... Thanks, this is making much more sense to me now [17:29] nothingspecial: its not there [17:29] besogon: i have used ifconfig up/down on the interface and run pppoe on the system as well, it found both devices but ended up with anerror [17:29] xumuk_, интересно за русский зобанят? )) или лучче по-англ? [17:30] denis_: yes they will... [17:30] I compiled my first kernel last night...I wanted a kernel specific to my hardware, but I think it compiled as a 32bit kernel. It stalled at the splash screen. Any tips on what to do next time, and how do i track down what went wrong this time [17:30] besogon: beeen searching online but no luck on anything current, any help would be appreciated [17:30] <[V13]Axel> John38: Then honestly, I'd say you're out of luck, The easiest thing to do when you "need" 64-bit, for example, 4GB of RAM, is to use 32-bit with the PAE kernel. Instructions on that can be found through Google. Or, you could take the source code and compile it yourself for 64-bit, however, that's much harder. [17:30] so I can change the their access/quota settings in the config file (like changing things in the Apache config file) and restart Samba for the settings to be implemented? [17:30] nothingspecial: its not there in Software Center or Sypnatics [17:30] xumuk_, i don't think they would [17:30] has anyone installed the ralink RT28xx drivers? I have tried the 2008 and 2010 editions, both give me compile errors. [17:31] !opera [17:31] Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser. It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [17:31] how to chat via terminal..? [17:31] karthick87, you'd have to install weechat for that [17:31] denis_: but they could... [17:32] xumuk_, i know but i don't think anybody cares here, there are way too many people here [17:32] [V13]Axel, it worked before when i did sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture [17:32] [V13]Axel, strange thing it wont work now [17:32] <[V13]Axel> john38, Did you try that again? [17:32] ActionParsnip: Installed via 10.10 cd under WUBI [17:33] [V13]Axel, yeah its installed but printer wont be detected [17:33] denis_: how long are you using weechat? ;-P [17:33] Is this a bad idea? http://pastie.org/1258330 :P [17:33] area51pilot: Do the interfaces work well? If they do then then a mistake in configuring ppp connection [17:33] I was just playing around with ideas [17:34] <[V13]Axel> john38, I apologize for not being able to help you. If I were on my Ubuntu system right now, I could perhaps try and help out. However, I am at school at the moment. [17:34] Is there a pdf reader in ubuntu which will render animations? I've tried to view the animation on page 13 of http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/animate/animate.pdf using xpdf and okular. http://pages.uoregon.edu/noeckel/PDFmovie.html tells me that adobe acrobat for linux won't render animations. (This is 10.04) [17:34] area51pilot: no, how did you install the driver for the interface.... [17:35] HEy!!! who asked for OPERA for 64-bit system? [17:35] Look here [17:35] http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/snapshot-6252/ [17:35] besogon: wifi is fine, ethernet hardwire down after update yesterday [17:35] area51pilot: what updates were installed/ [17:35] im trying the following: "$/sbin/insmod rt2870sta.ko" and im getting :"can't read 'rt2870sta.ko': No such file or directory". How do i know if its there or not? [17:35] ActionParsnip: It loaded by default during the install, have never had a prolem with the hardwired driver on this laptop, just wireless [17:36] I compiled my first kernel last night...I wanted a kernel specific to my hardware, but I think it compiled as a 32bit kernel. It stalled at the splash screen. Any tips on what to do next time, and how do i track down what went wrong this time [17:36] Hello everyone :-) [17:36] ActionParsnip: not sure..ran it yesterday mornig. Is there a way to list current updates? [17:37] area51pilot: you can look in /var/cache/apt/archives [17:37] Is there anyone here who can help regarding a problem with my monitor identification with 10.10? [17:37] area51pilot: you could try booting to an older kernel, see if that makes it fly [17:38] Is there anyone here who can help regarding a problem with my monitor identification with 10.10? [17:38] magedragon25: if you use bootoptions, you can disable the splash so you can see the boot messages. I suggest you ask in #kernel (or similar) [17:38] I have an issue with wubi. I installed wubi and began the Ubuntu 10.10 install with 17GB selected as deicated space. When I boot into Ubuntu, I get and error message stating that there is no boot record; resolve this in the partition step.. Well< i can't get past that error message. Any suggestions? [17:38] Ifaistos: try some details rather than repeating the same thing.... [17:38] thanks [17:39] drumstik31566: http://www.omaregan.com/?p=583 [17:39] Ok, thanks ActionParsnip :-) will do that.. [17:39] ActionParsnip: i dont see any updates that would seem to affect the interface [17:40] How do I bot to an older kernel [17:40] boot [17:40] area51pilot: if you have a linux-image file then you probably got a new kernel [17:40] area51pilot: hold shift at boot, then select the older kernel (not the recovery mode though), see if it works [17:40] [V13]Axel, if i want to ./install.sh and use the sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture is that possible [17:40] ok ... brb [17:40] After I upgraded to 10.10, I rebooted and I got a blank screen. It seems that Ubunut is booting but my monitor is not recognized properly and its gets values out of sync and it gives me : No signal [17:41] <[V13]Axel> john38: Possibly. [17:43] Ifaistos: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [17:43] please recommend a light weight browser for ubuntu [17:45] is there any software that runs in ubuntu 10.10 that will convert .avi files to .3gp, i've connected my droid X, to my ubuntu via the supplied usb cable, hooray that worked, and transfered some videos, however only some of them play, and the others i can only hear the audio from the movie, i've tried googling, however the only returned results i'm getting is software that runs on windows, i need software for ubuntu [17:45] ActionParsnip: I rebooted but an older kernel was not available, just 2.6.35.22/ 2.6.35.2 recovery/Windows 7 [17:46] an y expereince wuth arora browser [17:47] area51pilot: ok then read the output of: dmesg | less to see whats happening with the device and how its detected at bootup [17:47] thevishy: some [17:48] is it good , that or midori is what I am wondering for a light weight browser [17:49] thevishy, the lightest i've seen is dillo. but it doesn't support a lot of stuff like java script, etc.. [17:49] hello [17:50] thevishy, opera works flawlessly as a browser for me in ubuntu, and it's not to fat, don't know how light it is, but it was a quick download [17:50] to avoid updating my kernel when I use synaptic, what packages should I block ? [17:50] xanax`: linux-image [17:50] xanax`: linux-kernel [17:50] Eighteens I need a really light one , Opera ofcourse but is it light ? I just have a 256 M Ram [17:50] thevishy: yeah its not bad at all, midori is good too. Theres also Kazehakase [17:50] I installed wubi and began the Ubuntu 10.10 installation within WinBlows with 17GB selected as deicated space. When I boot into Ubuntu, I get and error message stating that there is no boot record; resolve this in the partition step.. Well< i can't get past that error message. Any suggestions? [17:50] right velko , i need basic features [17:50] Right ActionParsnip compared with opera any comments ? [17:50] thevishy: chromium [17:51] thanks ikonia, only those ? [17:51] thevishy: not used opera in time, just steer clear of firefox [17:51] chromium is heavy thought not like FF [17:51] ActionParsnip, i got it working [17:51] john38: sweet :) [17:51] FF is very heavy , cant stand it in the system when I am watching video etc [17:51] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/522192/ [17:51] thevishy: When you say you need basic features do you mean you need java etc or not [17:51] chromium is also sort of heavy right ActionParsnip ? [17:52] thevishy: if you use minitube you can use an app to view youtube et al and you wont need flash :) [17:52] ActionParsnip, you wont believe it the "show printer shared by other systems " was checked [17:52] I need java script , and flash support :) [17:52] icecat is ff based but lighter [17:52] thevishy: ok [17:52] thevishy: uses about 40Mb here on my gmail page afaics [17:52] which browser ActionParsnip [17:53] thevishy: i'd say try a few, see which impacts your OS least [17:53] right [17:53] Regarding pdf rendering of animations; I misread http://pages.uoregon.edu/noeckel/PDFmovie.html. There are certain classes of animated pdfs which acroread can render. That's good enough for me, for now. [17:53] will try the ones recoed here [17:53] midori seems gentle to my ram [17:53] "sudo /sbin/insmod rt3070sta.ko" gives me: "insmod: error inserting 'rt3070sta.ko': -1 Device or resource busy" [17:54] Did anyone see my messages? I am afraid I was disconnected... [17:54] area51pilot: use cursors to scroll up and down to read, YOU need to read it to see what's what [17:54] After I upgraded to 10.10, I rebooted and I got a blank screen. It seems that Ubunut is booting but my monitor is not recognized properly and its gets values out of sync and it gives me : No signal [17:54] xrandr gives me : Can't open display [17:54] How do I make a common folder that several people can drop stuff into and anybody can rwx it? [17:54] I saw that the entire output didnt copy to the clipboard [17:54] xorg.conf has all the default options and loads the "nvidia" driver which is correct... [17:54] Ifaistos: did the link not help? [17:55] JuJuBee: /tmp is already setup that way [17:55] hm... I guess I was indeed disconnected.. Ididn't see the link.. [17:55] could you please send it again? [17:55] magedragon25: I want a /home/common folder [17:56] Ifaistos: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [17:56] I would like to set the group of this folder to users and chmod g+rwx and anything that goes in that folder have same perms as the folder... [17:57] how can i solve a "insmod: error inserting 'rt3070sta.ko': -1 Device or resource busy"? [17:58] you need to set the user and group sticky bits [17:58] teemo, reboot [17:59] does ubuntu come with any CD burners? some dude needs to rescue some files and I thought I'd just give him a Ubuntu CD, if there is any burning software. [17:59] is it hard to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit? [17:59] ActionParsnip: is there a switch to output the text from terminal to a file? [17:59] whizz: that's not possible with any os [17:59] whizz: you can't, you have to reinstall [17:59] JuJuBee: you need to set the user and group sticky bits to have permissions passed to all created files in that directory [18:00] hmm, too bad [18:00] ActionParsnip: i cant sem to get all the output to copy at once [18:00] indietrash: how could he burn a cd while booted to an ubuntu livecd? he'd need 2 cd drives [18:00] area51pilot: just redirect it [18:00] blakkheim, indietrash: thanks [18:00] indietrash: how [18:00] blakkheim: he has [18:00] area51pilot: > [18:00] using dmesg | less [18:01] area51pilot: "> somefile"... [18:01] area51pilot: uh why would you do dmesg|less any way? [18:01] indietrach: say I want it to go to /test [18:01] area51pilot: dmesg > /test [18:01] indietrash: trying to troubleshoot a hardwire issue [18:02] area51pilot: where does less come into the picture? just do dmesg > somefile. [18:02] restarting didn't work, i still get "Device or resource busy" [18:02] less is a pager, for displaying it on the terminal that you're running [18:02] indietrash: so dmesg > text.txt /test ??? [18:02] ActionParsnip : Unfotunately the link didn't help... I tried to press 'e [18:02] if you want the output to go to the terminal but also to a file, you can use tee [18:02] hey everyone! [18:02] im like 1 step away from making my wireless card work, plz help! :) [18:03] area51pilot: dmesg > whateverfile [18:03] ActionParsnip : Unfotunately the link didn't help... I tried to press 'e' during the grub loading.. nothing happened... nor did F6 worked... [18:03] Wc [18:04] Ifaistos: I think you have to press shift these days...... or escape ??? [18:04] I was asked to run dmesg | lessindietrash: where does it go if I just use a filename then [18:04] indietrash: where does it go if I just use a filename then [18:04] I tied both... esc and shift.. what can I say? [18:04] indietrash: no directory? [18:05] when i change the display driver to the recommended one, i restart ubuntu and my lcd display turns to sleep mode at log on. [18:05] I have the same problem Hugo [18:05] hugo, what video card do you have [18:06] i'm using 10.10, and my video card is nvidia 8400gs [18:06] area51pilot: he left [18:06] boa tarde [18:06] area51pilot: if you use dmesg > file, the output of dmesg is redirected to file [18:06] Hey. I have a Hauppauge (spelling? xP) HVR-1600 TV tuner. Ubuntu seems to recognize it, but nothing is able to record it for some reason with V4L. It has a RCA video in and I'm trying to get a video off my camcorder that way... Any ideas? [18:07] tensorpudding: then where would the output file be located then? [18:07] area51pilot: you specify the path to the file [18:08] hugo, ok, in my experience on my laptop (sony vaio with nvidia GT 330M) I have to download and install the nvidia drivers from the nvidia website to get a GUI to come up. My computer or video card is incompatible with the nouveau and the recommended nvidia drivers provided through the ubuntu OS [18:08] area51pilot: if it's just dmesg > file, then it writes to a file called file in the current directory [18:08] tensorpuddig: thats what I was trying to verify file name dmesgtst path /test [18:08] i noticed that here recently, i think it was after last update, when i launch a video file, my system resources jump from idle, all the way to 100% of the cpu, as an example, with this chat loaded, the cpu is at 0-2%, but if i launch a video, the cpu skyrockets, and the video runs really slow, any comments please [18:08] area51pilot: if you wanted to redirect to a file ~/dmesg.log, you'd use 'dmesg > ~/dmesg.log' instead [18:08] Ifaistos: There are 3 solutions on that page [18:08] hey all, i have ubuntu 10.10 dual boot on my laptop. when i first installed during boot i get a nice ubuntu logo with the activity dots moving under it. every time i install my video card driver (nvidia) that boot logo changes to an oldschool looking terminal text of "UBUNTU 10.10" [18:08] Eighteens, video drivers is my first thought [18:08] did that solve your problem? [18:08] why would the logo change? [18:09] tensorpudding: and thats home directory [18:09] area51pilot: ~ is an alias for whatever your home directory is [18:09] mrnelson1986, same thing happens when i load a mp3 in rhythmbox [18:09] Alphanaut, nvidia drivers change it because the ubuntu logo that looks nice is activated using nouveau drivers by default, with nvidia enabled the nouveau are disabled [18:09] dang it [18:10] Does anyone know how to check if my network card has mdi / mdx automatic on ubuntu? [18:10] nothingspecial I tried all the solutions that are applicable to me [18:10] Alphanaut, at least in my experience that is....if you find a solution i'd love to know it as well :) [18:10] on that page [18:10] In the Me-Menu, my name and my photo isn't displayed, even after I entered the details on "About me". So, how to start it? [18:11] rocket16, sounds silly but have you rebooted? [18:11] tensorpuddding: great....thx. No I need help figuring out my hardwire isue....:P [18:11] ok thank you very much, i'll try that [18:11] Does anyone know how to check if my network card has mdi / mdx automatic on ubuntu? A command to find it. [18:11] mrnelson1986: Many times, no success. :( [18:11] uggghhh anyone seen bind9 not start due to a apparmor issue with /var/lib/named/var/run/named/named.pid [18:11] couldn't open pid file '/var/run/named/named.pid': Permission denied [18:12] rocket16, i think there is a way to manually edit the file with gedit, but i don't know off the top of my head, and I'm at work :( [18:12] mrnelson1986: No problem. :) Really thanks for the hint, I'm googling for it. Many thanks. [18:12] hardwire issue ... [18:13] area51pilot: what is your hardware issue [18:13] Does anyone know how to check if my network card has mdi/mdx automatic on ubuntu? [18:13] tensorpudding: did an update yesterday and lost my ethernet conectionhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/522200/ [18:14] Aioros, have you done "if config" on terminal and looked at hardware information? [18:14] Greetings [18:14] area51pilot: hmm, link goes up and then immediately goes down [18:14] tensorpuding: ifconfig up/down on the adapter works intermittently ... pppoeconf found both adapters but returned an error [18:14] tensorpuding: yes [18:15] Are there any programs for Linux like "Royal TS" http://code4ward.net/main/RoyalTS/Download.aspx? [18:15] oops better link http://code4ward.net/main/Home.aspx [18:16] Praxi: there's a couple different ways to do remote desktop in Linux [18:16] but in a single window? have to manage a lot of windows servers/boxes. I really like the ability to do that from one tabbed window, guess that would be the main feature I'm looking for :) [18:17] Praxi: VNC is one, FreeNX is another, both work with Windows and Linux servers and clients to my knowledge. [18:17] mrnelson1986, Using ifconfig and ethtool I found nothing about it. [18:17] Praxi, i personally use teamviewer, it is cross platform and works pretty well [18:17] ya I use teamviewer also, but when I'm working on 5 or 6 different boxes at once, the windows aren't easy to deal with :) [18:17] Anyone know anything about Intel chipset drivers for linux ? [18:18] Reminna Remote Desktop Client is really good [18:18] area51pilot: What is your chipset? How are you connecting to the Internet? [18:18] Aioros, sorry that was my only idea, hopefully someone else knows more about it [18:18] family chipset 4. [18:18] mobile chipset 4 [18:18] tensorpudding: using wifi at the moment [18:19] Hi all [18:19] thanks mrnelson1986 [18:19] need help with compiz [18:19] How to run compiz without Opacity plugin [18:19] ? [18:19] area51pilot: is the chipset supported by Ubuntu? [18:19] Or at least restore default settings in Compiz [18:19] saaz that looks good, is it easier to manage a lot of servers at once? ie will it give me just one window? [18:19] only to supplement I am using the network controller from Intel 82575EB [18:19] Well im running Ubuntu 10.04 [18:19] tand my resolution is right [18:19] i'm getting the dreaded Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME and the only way to access my win7 shares is to set a static IP in /etc/hosts but my win machines IP changes every time it boots.. [18:20] tensorpudding; Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5784M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10), I have had no issue with 10.4 then 10.10 until theupdate yesterday [18:20] kev1337: download the Simple Compiz Config Settings Manager from the Software Center, it'll allow you to configure that. [18:20] Is there any application for bringing Ubuntu Forums to the desktop? Like Gwibber does for Facebook? [18:20] But having some video difficulties [18:20] tensorpudding: so Iwouldasssume it is still supported [18:20] Where the compie configuration files located please ? XD [18:21] compiz i mean [18:22] I cant seem to run some games that I could in windows with any REAL quality. I.E. Quake Live. [18:22] Yeah, compiz advanced menu is a good way to configure your gui. === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [18:23] I think linux gaming still doesnt competes with windows gaming [18:23] so on boot i get a uvcvideo Failed to Initialize the Device error and it continues to boot. I'm guessing that it's not recognizing my built in webcam; is there a way to disable that hardware on boot so it doesnt even try to detect it? I dont use it. [18:24] kalser.. thats what im starting to think. I wanted to run liunx as my only OS but for now im stuck with two OS. [18:24] ka1ser, so ... buy a ps3 [18:24] For some reason linux is not reading my chipset correctly. [18:24] why buy a ps3 when u can game PC for free. [18:25] AfterBurn_, I also keep my windows 7 partition only for games, they are optimized better (aka, starcraft 2 on high instead of starcraft 2 on low via Wine) [18:25] AfterBurn_: agree [18:25] linux isn't developed fpr gaming.. maybe some time in the future [18:25] yeah mrnelson1986... thats what im doing now. I was hoping on getting rid of windows. [18:25] t: ( [18:26] AfterBurn_, games that are native to linux, like Heroes of Newerth, run extremely well, with very good graphics...but the trick is that developers have to design a version for linux and most don't [18:26] perhaps windows in a virtual machine would do fine [18:26] hi, how can I check for the list of available wi-fi networks in XFCE? [18:26] mrnelson1986: thats correct [18:26] kalser, the problem with that is limiting what hardware you can use because you can't allocate 100% of your resources to the virtual OS [18:26] nothing wrong with dual booting ..reality bites and 2 OSs is quite common in the linux community [18:26] I tried Vbox for windows... no good for me. I can run it great, but gaming is out of the question [18:27] yeah... [18:27] Does SC II run on 10.10 well? [18:27] you would need a much better PC for that [18:27] hmmm, I cannot see appropriate option in network manager applet [18:27] mrnelson1986: Ive been playing OpenArena and I notice a huge difference in game play compared to when I try Quake Live. I know what your saying. [18:28] but I think im also having driver problems [18:28] I can add network if I know SSID and password, but I cannot find the option to discover networks [18:28] What's th best way to read outlook PST files in linux? Tried Thunderbird, without success. [18:28] Arsin, no it doesn't, i have to run it on low settings while on win7 i can run it on high [18:28] I have followed the instructions to get an ip2200 working on 10.10 however am unable to, the furthest I have gotten is using the 4200 wherein when printing a test page the printer will flash for a bit then do nothing.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/CanonPixmaIP4200#preview [18:29] konraddo: sudo apt-get aircrack-ng [18:29] plz, anyone my wireless usb card is working fine on my ubuntu 2.6.32-23, and its not working on 2.6.32-25, and i think i have everything setup correctly, and i just need to actually load the driver [18:29] opps sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng [18:29] can anyone help? [18:29] mrnelson1986: Shame. Along with the constant updates I doubt it'll ever be good for a while [18:29] kalser, that is true if I had hardware that could spare 4-6GB of RAM, etc, then yes it would probably work, however I don't have that luxury :( maybe another day [18:29] this is my first time using ubuntu, anyone have time for a quick question [18:29] so is there a way i can keep it from trying to detect my webcam on boot? [18:29] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20882 [18:30] so i dont get that error? [18:30] Arsin, maybe once it gets optimized for mac os x then it will be more easily ported to linux [18:30] but that is optimistic, haha [18:31] konraddo: After you install aircrack you can type sudo airmon-ng wlan0 or whatever your card is and get available information on all networks in range [18:31] and when will it get optimized for mac os? [18:31] =P [18:31] can anyone help with openvpn questions? [18:31] im following the driver readme instructions, and the final step is simply: "/sbin/insmod rt3070sta.ko" and im getting: "Device or resource busy" [18:31] konraddo: iwlist s [18:31] restarting didn't fix things [18:31] how do I get a screenshot of just the active window??? alt-printscreen doesn't seem to be co-operating [18:32] kalser, never because blizzard is awful, just awful [18:32] he have to enable 'monitor mode' first on his wifi card... and not all of them support it (mine doesnt) [18:32] well at least there is no driver with support for it [18:33] shane: applications/accessories Take screen shot [18:33] then it gives you option for window only [18:34] is there a guide or documentation for Unity (the netbook gui)? Or maybe some config files? I feel like its really... restrictive [18:35] ka1ser: monitor mode is not needed for "iwlist scan" [18:35] Mythmon, I also feel that way, it's like you can't do anything with it, zero customization [18:36] IIutz: it is needed for airmon-ng, I believe [18:36] I dont need it [18:36] ka1ser: maybe, but why should one isntall/use airmon just for a wifi-scan? [18:36] he wanted the bssid [18:37] I see... I just saw need for aircrack.. didnt follow the whole thread [18:37] : ) [18:37] are you sure you dont need it? [18:37] for aircrack? [18:37] I have intel internal card [18:37] I cant inject [18:38] But I can observe [18:38] AfterBurn_: even to get the bssid theres no need for aircrack/airmon [18:38] i loaded nvidia-current from ubuntu server and put my geforce4 tv card in and all i get is a blinking cursor on screen it will not even boot into os [18:38] llutz i was just offering a option. [18:38] Its simple to use. Thats all [18:38] yeah... I needed 'monitor mode' for aircrack to hack WEP networks... but perhaps I shouldnt be talking about this here =) [18:39] Me Menu doesn't show my picture and name, is there a fix?

For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [18:51] anyone know how i might get tar to dereference only the files given on the path? Basically i'm trying to create a tar archive with the main directory name inside of it having a timestamp to the name, so i symlink the new name to the orig folder and issue a `tar -zchf foo.tgz symlink/` The problem is there are symlinks inside the directory, and i want those to stay as symlinks, but the -h option to tar prevents it. If i remove the -h option t [18:51] scarra3 , no but i run a sony vaio cw series, i believe they are somewhat related [18:52] i know i could use readlink, but that would defeat the whole purpose of the directory inside the tar archive having the timestamped name [18:52] Ok I have a Sony Vaio E Series laptop that uses and Alps Touchpad and the touchpad does not work in the live cd, or when I installed ubuntu 10.10 [18:52] oooo I learned GRUB the hard way.

[18:53] Scarra3, get a wireless/usb mouse. [18:53] does Ubuntu 10.10 have any kind of built in firewall? Becouse I am trying to host a ircd server and no one can connect to it. [18:53] Scarra3: you'll need that as a modprobe option in one of the files in /etc/modprobe.d [18:54] I am looking at my /etc/default directory I don't see the grub [18:54] !firewall | NocturnalGuy [18:54] After_Burn: I would like to be able to use my laptop with out an external mouse [18:54] NocturnalGuy: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.

[18:55] It's a fresh upgrade of 10.10 what I am using, if I am not using grub? [18:55] sorry to mention again but has anyone be able to fix the battery power usage thing in ubuntu 10.10?

[19:09] Because I could fix my problem in either moving or resizing the partition [19:09] And I would like to pick the quicker option [19:09] xananax, moving a partition takes longer [19:10] mrnelson1986: thanks [19:10] xananax, it migrates all of the data one byte at a a time...resizing is very fast unless there is data in the way of it [19:10] xananax: llutz: mrnelson1986: yes. if we will look for support, plug-ins softwares Windows is better for us too :) if we don't look for them and we look as a realy software we can change our minds. i mean i read many many wonderfull thinks about e17. i just had installed it and i see that the performans is better than xfce also like lxde and it has many many features from gnome. [19:10] i did a sudo nvidia-xconfig and rebooted and now i have no gui just command prompt can not remember how to start xwindow [19:11] Surely asking takes time.

[21:49] arashb: In my opinion, yes. Especially if you might get more RAM in the future. [21:49] tensorpudding: so there wont be any point in upgrading to 64 bit at all even though my CPU supports it?

[21:51] he2, basically, you need to edit /etc/init.d/rc /etc/default/rcS and run insserv (man 8 insserv) [21:51] guntbert rest of all is dpkg configure .. thsi one is error of every single try to install or remove anything [21:51] Praxi: You're welcome.

(B) if the majority of the aplications you need support or require 64bit computing. if not than for now your better of not running it. [21:53] so 64bit on a netbook is just not useful at all then? [21:53] arashb, why not?

[21:56] nerdy_kid: what ftp daemon are you using ? [21:56] arashb, I don't see why 64bit would slow you down anyway. 32bit limits your processor capability [21:56] arashb: - see my 3 points above (more than 3gb ram, software requires it, or GPT (for instance uefi mobo or lager than 2tb partitions [21:56] Praxi: "cat" [21:57] ikonia vsftpd. I am trying to access it over LAN and have disabled my firewall. [21:57] nerdy_kid, why not use sshfs (sftp), just wondering [21:57] lol dli and Ichat, both you guys are telling me two different things haha [21:57] :P [21:57] nerdy_kid: that error message makes it look like it's not listening on ssl ports [21:57] dli I need it for wordpress, which only supports ftps AFAIK [21:57] arashb, you can always find contradictory tips online [21:57] usr13: You did not setup the chroot correctly. Follow the guide I gave earlier. [21:57] hi all. after a while not having used windows xp at all, i cannot boot into it anymore. i have upgraded from karmic to lucid since. in grub windows is listed and in ubuntu i can mount the windows partition. but when i select windows in grub, the computer restarts after circa 2 seconds. is there some way i can fix that? [21:58] nerdy_kid: wordpress supports ftp [21:58] Does the community have a preferred distributed file system? [21:58] dli: yeah i know, it would just help if ubuntu install wasnt so gay on my netbook --.- [21:58] isnoop: ext4 is now default [21:58] there's that one distributed filesystem by sun [21:58] tensorpudding http://paste.ubuntu.com/522299/ [21:58] glusterfs? [21:58] ikonia: now it works, weird [21:58] hi, I've got ubuntu jaunty (9.04) installed, what's the best way to update to maverick 10.10? [21:58] Jordan_U: [21:58] ikonia: Distributed? [21:58] i need to reboot brb [21:58] awesome thanks again Jordan_U [21:58] Jordan_U: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [21:59] THis one ^^^? [21:59] isnoop: sorry, missed what you where fully asking [21:59] Praxi: You're welcome. [21:59] isnoop: no, there isn't a prefered, it's down to application and support [21:59] are there any performance differences with ubuntu netbook remix and ubuntu desktop? [21:59] isnoop: ah, i was thinking of lustre [21:59] ikonia yeah but I dont want my passwords leaked. Also, ftp refuses to work over the internet. Works fine on LAN though. I forwarded 20 21 already [21:59] nerdy_kid: suggests it's not forwarded properly [21:59] isnoop: http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Main_Page [21:59] tensorpudding: Glustre looks like a nice alterative to lustre though [21:59] usr13: Yes. Up to step two if you just want the chroot, or do step 3 as well if you want to upgrade to grub2. [21:59] how do you run a command when terminal starts? [22:00] dli: 32bit is still most common for Propretairy drivers, and many software ... in general if you dont have software that requires 64bit and you dont need if fore large ram or large parttions i would still advice against it [22:00] test-user: it is always the same error -- look at lines 61,62 -- obviously there is a problem removing some nvidia component, but I cannot help with the details - sorry [22:00] hi [22:00] isnoop: glusterfs is more supported by operating systems than lustre [22:00] ikonia right, I did a wireshark run on it and it showed random ports being used for encypted communication. I did it a while ago though. [22:00] isnoop: but who knows which is better...i do not know. [22:00] can I start virtualbox with one machine directly? [22:01] nerdy_kid: if flat ftp isn't working, it suggests port forwarding isn't setup right, that would be the first thing I'd resolve [22:01] tensorpudding: Cool, that'll be enough research to keep me busy for a while. =) [22:01] dli: but than again im the kind of IT guy saying dont fix what isn't broken [22:02] tensorpudding, all: Also, a little birdie just reminded me of Hadoop DFS. [22:03] hi [22:03] hi [22:03] oops [22:03] ok i installed apache2 and i have my website in /var/www but it only shows in browser if i type 192.168.xxx.xxx how to i get it on the web [22:03] ikonia ok, well I killed ssl and am using flat ftp. It gives the error "500 Illegal PORT command. ftp: bind: Address already in use" when accessed over the web. [22:04] Jordan_U: Ok, I see what you mean. I think I got it now. [22:04] It said "Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done" [22:04] Jordan_U: Is that it?... [22:04] nerdy_kid: what command are you using to access it over the internet [22:04] DragonKeeper: In order to access your apache server over the internet, you'll need to forward port 80 on your router [22:04] ikonia ports 21 and 20 are forwarded in my router, I thought that was all ftp needed? [22:04] tensorpudding here whati get after gksudo gedit /etc/fstab , http://paste.ubuntu.com/522299/ [22:05] Jordan_U: Looks like it found the new kernels... [22:05] ShadowApex ok thanks will try now [22:05] ikonia "ftp IP" [22:05] nerdy_kid: that is all it's needed [22:05] the heck is aufs [22:05] karolis: what version of ubuntu is this? [22:05] 10.10 [22:05] ikonia brb [22:06] tensorpudding 10.10 [22:06] karolis: what is aufs? [22:06] tensorpudding no idea [22:06] DragonKeeper: - test your website on your lan, if its workin use port forwarding on your modem/router google will tell you how that works [22:06] hey who knows if there is a way to get to use real hard files from virtualbox? [22:07] karolis: that /etc/fstab looks both very malformed, and very strange [22:07] karolis: you installed 10.10 from CD? which version of 10.10? [22:07] How do I get a verbose splash by default? [22:07] tensorpudding it all hapened when i did update, tehn when to suspend, and after a while when i turned it on again the screen was frozen, and doesnt booted anymore [22:07] what is the syntax to run `java -jar something.jar` at login via .bashrc? [22:07] did I send a msg about getting a program insta\lled offline [22:08] tensorpudding i just downloaded from ubuntu website like a 7 days ago === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [22:08] karolis: wait, nevermind...i'm a dope [22:08] karolis: that fstab is for the livecd, not your install [22:08] is there a way to acces the other partition from virtual box? [22:09] karolis: you need to look for the fstab under your hard drive [22:09] lucian_: how do you mean? [22:09] tensorpudding how to do that? [22:09] Ok. I really want to try out Unity. I installed it on a VM but it won't load a desktop when netbook remix is selected. I can get to the run command and so on with alt f2. Any ideas? [22:09] karolis: the hard drive should appear on the desktop somewhere [22:09] i have partition c in windows virtualbox [22:09] i seached forums found all kinds of commands, [22:09] So I need to install something on to ubuntu but the pc offline so can I download the file in the repository on my windows pc , put it on a flashdrive and then install it on ubuntu offline by making my own repository [22:09] replicasex: - impossible :( [22:10] can i acces part d an a inside my linux from within virtualbox? [22:10] Ichat, wat :D [22:10] D: rather [22:10] tensorpudding fsck... but its says its busy , and i cant enter to hardrive, it doesnt mount from live cd either [22:10] Ichat, whatdya mean? [22:10] karolis: or at least, it should appear under Places as some kind of volume [22:10] replicasex: - impossible :( - unity wont run in VB [22:10] karolis: you can't enter it? [22:10] karolis: what is the error? [22:10] tensorpudding yes\ [22:10] C_Okie, try to get the .deb file [22:10] Ichat, why in the world not?! [22:10] ikonia any idea why it gives that error? [22:11] guntbert thanks its fix now .. i remove them manually and apt-get install -f giving a clean report .. [22:11] so does someone know? [22:11] karolis: is it mounted? [22:11] do I need to make a repository locally on the ubuntu [22:11] is there a way to put the window buttons on the right? [22:11] ShadowApex ty its working now :) [22:11] !yay | test-user [22:11] test-user: Glad you made it! :-) [22:11] and put it in there and add it and agp-ge [22:11] *t [22:11] tensorpudding i cant mount from live cd [22:11] lucian_: you can mount a harddisk (and maybe even a parttion) in vbox but you cant boot an os that not installed inside vbox ...

[22:12] ichat so if i have on my harddrive 3 ntfs partition and iḿ running uubuntu on a 4th 1 [22:12] replicasex: because unity requires some hardware stuf that vbox doesn't do not even with gues additions installed [22:13] wich one is good dyndns updater for ubuntu maverick please?

How do I navigate to a hidden folder/file? [22:14] lucian_: lets say you have 1 partion windows and one partion ubuntu linux. (dual boot) you cant use vbox to load the already installed windows from your linux OS ... or run ubuntu inside windows... but you can add a VM with its own install [22:14] hey [22:15] karolis: ah, it's not mounted then, that's a problem [22:15] Is it pretty safe? or is the ny2 one better [22:15] it's so much better on the right :) [22:15] tensorpudding fsck command http://paste.ubuntu.com/522307/ [22:15] ray9na, hidden folders begin with . so just 'cd .hidden' [22:15] C_Okie: not sure what safe requirements you're looking for when dealing with your partitions... :) [22:15] ichat i run windows within vb not on a fizical partition(on a virtual 1) [22:15] I am trying to downgrade GDM on ubuntu 10.10, i have the old 9.10 main universe repository, but apt fails to pull down those packages, saying they are unavailable, i have checked my network connection, everything is fine [22:16] C_Okie: gparted has never botched my ntfs partitions up though, if that's what you mean [22:16] is there a easy way to set an image on gnome lock screen [22:16] oh ok [22:16] that;s what I meant [22:16] karolis: sounds like something is using that file? [22:16] tensorpudding but i cant mount it either i tryed to do it from disk utility it doesnt work [22:16] okay, and what's the command to list folders/files? ls ? [22:16] wich one is good dyndns updater for ubuntu maverick please? [22:17] anyone know where I can find out more about the ubuntu netboot 64bit distro like package list or source code?

[22:31] ?? [22:31] karolis: are you booting into recovery mode? [22:31] Wait someone mentioned a new version of X/Xorg in maverick, could that mean all the difference?

[22:32] Some_Person, its better that way for downgrading gdm [22:32] i have to stop gdm first [22:32] so that takes away gui [22:32] hi some_person [22:32] karolis: i'm not entirely sure how your system's boot can get messed up that badly [22:32] tensorpudding just that guy has few lines extra i have only 3:) [22:33] lindsaymobil22: No, I was saying, have you tried ubuntu-tweak? It gives you a small amount of control over the login screen's appearance [22:33] Some_Person, oh right, i would rather have all the customizable features of the old gdm [22:33] some_person are you be able to help me how to? [22:33] dyndns.GetIpAddress: [EXIT] Can't read IP address. Please turn on --debug. at /usr/bin/dyndns line 4065.

[22:34] hello [22:34] hello [22:34] karolis: i'm trying to think of how to prevent the livecd from automatically trying to mount sda1, since it seems that trying to mount it causes problems [22:34] tensorpudding the disk is not mounting but still is busy [22:34] karolis: try 'kill -9 4320' [22:35] tensorpudding yep its trying to mount [22:35] have anyone heard of switchable graphics? [22:35] multiple users - they can get into a home directory not belonging to them. If i wanted to block access to the folder all together would chmod 750 be the right choice [22:35] tensorpudding sudo kill -9 4320? [22:35] karolis: yes [22:35] tensorpudding doesnt do anything [22:36] karolis: are you sure? process 4320 is still running? [22:36] in utility disk it still showing like its trying to mount [22:36] tensorpudding in utility disk it still trying to mount [22:37] tensorpudding fsck also doesnt work [22:37] i have some odd download speed problems, for example a video from vimeo is only getting 30kB/s, finding the download link for it and using a parallel downloader(aria2c) with 20 connections get 400kB/s, with 50 connections 1.1MB/s. Obviously my internet connection has enough bandwidth to play the video and not stutter, but it refuses to with a single connection. Any suggestions? [22:37] no push keyboards we need brains :-) [22:37] tensorpudding says busy while trying to open [22:37] karolis: you need to reboot into the livecd [22:37] Help.. During installation of Ubuntu 10.10 desktop I messed up my harddrive. When choosing a partition to be mounted at /backups I chose EXT4 when the partition was really EXT3. Now the partition comes up empty. I did not tick the checkbox for formatting, but still.... any ideas ? How can I get my files back ?? [22:37] tensorpudding i am booted in usb [22:37] on 10.04, if its relevant for networking [22:38] karolis: i mean, reboot again === m00se is now known as Werem00se [22:38] ok ill try [22:38] reboot again and so on ... bye bye :-) [22:38] anyone know how to keep fglrx driver for ati card when using intel?

I can't type quickly or it misses keys [22:39] anyone know a good tutorial on using diff to compare multiple files (5 or more) to eachother?

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that one [22:42] ok, i have a question for you guys [22:42] Some_Person: intel card uses less power, but ati card is more powerful... [22:42] Some_Person: oh.ok..:) np [22:43] i know ur going to say already that its not a good idea to login as root on the graphical desktop layer [22:43] but [22:43] I've never actually seen let alone used a machine with multiple active video cards [22:43] i did, and notticed that all my web pages were loading faster [22:43] usr13, Ubuntu does not have a root login => your install is pretty much screwed up. [22:43] and with graphics [22:43] well [22:44] you can enable the root login, it is disable to start === Werem00se is now known as doedelzak [22:44] all i did was go to othere, under my login name [22:44] and typed root [22:44] and typed in my password [22:44] there we go [22:44] i am logged in right now as root [22:44] wait, you're comparing the runtime of programs on two different machines?

[22:46] karolis: grah, i hate the way ubuntu's livecd does automounting [22:46] i don't actually know how to disable it [22:46] i would think it would run fsck first before doing it [22:47] tensorpudding so my only option now would be to reinstal? [22:47] aryu, did you do "sudo apt-get build-dep foo" [22:47] tensorpudding: depends on the filesystem i belive. [22:47] cause in the upper right hand corner where the little dropdown menu is for my sound has a little picture of a speaker with -- next to it [22:47] karolis: did you say you had a slax cd?

[23:07] Praxi, easiest: put the line in /etc/rc.local [23:07] Praxi, better, write an init script for it in /etc/init.d/ [23:07] I'm pretty noob, what kind of file does that need to be there?

[23:34] dli: what would i like to know is before installing ubuntu it asked me to make a swap partition, now that i've been using now i cant seem to find it. how do i use mkswap? sorry newbie here [23:35] #VERSION=`cat /etc/slackware-version` [23:35] nemptor, you didn't setup a swap space during installation, but you want to add one now?

[23:39] guys? [23:39] #VERSION=`cat /etc/slackware-version` [23:39] i need the ubuntu version of this [23:39] Nertil, /etc/lsb-release [23:39] thank [23:40] you can better use a boton [23:40] Felip0n, boton? [23:41] hi all, I'm trying to setup NIS to better handle when the network connection drops. How can I configure NIS to first check the local passwd file when logging in as a local user such as root? [23:41] I want to avoid the NIS timeout [23:42] du: cannot read directory `/home/nertil/.subversion/auth': Permission denied [23:42] how to fix this please? [23:42] Nertil: check the permissions with ls -l [23:42] Nertil, sudo du [23:42] anybody here uses usenet i've got almost all the clients installed eg Pan Newsreader but i can't configure it to read or even download any news , plus i'm a newbie/noob to usenet [23:42] can someone please recommend a channel for NIS configuration help? [23:43] I'm trying to set up Vodafone mobile internet on my computer, Ubuntu shows me the wizard, I answer the questions, tell it I am using a pre-paid account, then check the settings afterwards and compare it with my ISP's instruction book and the settings look the same, yet I can't connect... Something is wrong with the Ubuntu software for mobile internet....... Please help [23:43] The mobile USB modem is called K3571-Z [23:43] made by ZTE [23:44] Alguem fala portugues? - private-me [23:44] !pt | possebon [23:44] possebon: 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. [23:44] well, I guess nobody can even refer me to a channel for NIS questions [23:44] The wizard asked me the ISP and I told it I am using Vodafone. [23:44] StarCraft_II, when you connect it and go to your network connections is Mobile Broadband available? else you may also have to look into gprsec [23:44] oh well, goodnight guys [23:44] Goodnight jdimatteo [23:45] Yes it is "available" [23:45] but if I click it [23:45] nothing happens [23:45] in the network manager [23:45] How do you change keyboard layout in ubuntu? what is the path through the menus to get there... [23:45] it's always disconnected [23:45] okay now go tho the configuration for the connection you created and is the modems light indicator blue? [23:45] Blue1: System-Preferences if I recall... [23:46] join ubuntu-se [23:46] Oh I am using it at the moment now in windows [23:46] I'll have to disconnect [23:46] then come back to tell you [23:46] will you still be here? [23:46] no no StarCraft_II i'll be here but i thought you were in ubuntu [23:46] no [23:46] I only have this dongle for the net [23:46] at the moment [23:47] no wired net [23:47] when you go in there check your number if it is *99# and the APN what your provider uses and ensure the indicator light is blue meaning good reception all the best! StarCraft_II [23:48] I already checked thos [23:48] the number and APN are correct [23:48] but I didn't check if the light was blue [23:48] I will check now, but I assume the light is blue... [23:48] does anyone have an idea about my query? [23:48] how to share a printer between two ubuntu, BUT with constant IP changes (sometimes computer one is 192.168.1.2 and two is 192.168.1.3... sometimes the reverse)..... [23:48] what do I do if the light is blue but I still can't connect? [23:48] StarCraft_II, so when you ask it to connect what happens and now what is the indicator light now like? [23:49] i hope you the light i'm talking about StarCraft_II [23:49] StarCraft_II: please do not use "enter" as punctuation. [23:49] StarCraft_II: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [23:49] What is 8.8.8.8? [23:49] I'm running Ubuntu in a VMWare Fusion VM, and the machine is going to sleep, despite having both sleep settings set to "Never." Any idea why? [23:49] StarCraft_II: its an IP outside of your LAN [23:50] StaffanE, i think he want you to ping but ActionParsnip i think he said the modem is even unable to make connection [23:50] (it's on 10.04 LTS) [23:50] StarCraft_II, not StaffanE [23:50] Oh 8.8.8.8 is Google DNS [23:51] Yes, I'm trying to establish a connection. [23:51] StarCraft_II: what it is is worthless, if you dont get web access but can ping 8.8.8.8 then your DNS sucks [23:51] ok [23:52] I'll plug it in and check if the light is blue [23:52] brb [23:53] you often wonder what the point of LTS is, when the support is only 6 months longer than any other point of time release. [23:53] is it possible to skip the boot splash screen (called plymouth?) without having access to the grub config? my computer is stuck at booting and i would like to see the error messages... [23:53] i don't have a grub menu, not sure if i'm using it even. [23:54] kek: press ESC [23:54] anyone ever setup speech-dispatcher with festival?

[23:54] hey guys, I've got a brand new laptop i7 quad core 720qm, and I notice frequently that after a certain period of time, sound will just stop working [23:54] don't worl [23:54] I dont' think it's a fixed amount of time, but I think it occurs after some sort of event [23:54] kek: you can hold shift at boot to get the old grub menu, then press E to (e)dit the entry to disable the boot splash [23:54] sometimes alsa just stops working [23:54] magicianlord, never had that problem before [23:55] the only way to make my sound come back without rebooting my machine [23:55] or the sound wont work in an application,because it's busy in another app [23:55] is to chmod -x /usr/bin/pulseaudio, killall pulseaudio, and alsa unload twice [23:55] someone know how make work keyboark in LiveCD Ubuntu 10.10 on notebook [23:55] magicianlord, it's definitely not that [23:55] i tried setting up speech-dispatcher with festival but i can only get it to work with espeak, i edited the config to get the festival output module loaded and i also started afestival --server , went trough lots of docs, ... If anyone has experience with this, please let me know [23:55] **bump** I connected to my server using ssh -i id_rsa user@host.com and for some reason a GUI input box appeared asking me to unlock my private key, I entered the password and it connected. However.. now if I delete or rename id_rsa from .ssh/ and try and connect with ssh user@host.com for some reason its still using the id_rsa key and its working?? how is that even possible? [23:55] hi, how can i bind /dev/sda3 to my /home/data folder? [23:56] ok dan2 [23:56] could it be cached somehow because of that GUI box ? [23:56] or /home/data/data [23:56] hi, i just installed ubuntu netbook remix, I can't get the right resolution. I only have one resolution in the monitor settings [23:56] please help :) [23:56] also festival works fine regulary === doedelzak is now known as m00sula [23:56] galadude check to see if there are additional drivers supported [23:56] i mean when i start it manually festival works fine [23:57] Hello all.

[23:58] dan2: ok man. what did you think of karmic? that's my fav [23:58] whats an small media player everyone would suggest rhythmbox is great, but not so much when a game is running [23:58] magicianlord, I was on karmic too, I can't remember the order of these installs anymore [23:58] starn: vlc [23:58] magicianlord, I think I may have found a solution [23:58] haah yeah [23:58] OK I get a blue light, but whenever I click on the Mobile connection in the manager it straight away says (You have been disconnected) in a notification thingy [23:58] starn: deadbeef :) [23:58] what is it? === clayton is now known as Guest84036 [23:59] So I didn't bother trying to ping google dns [23:59] Why would it suddently say You hav ebeen disconnected if my connection settings are correct?
