[00:00] ActionParsnip: didn't you help suggest hd space to me yesterday? [00:00] Hey, I'm installing Ubuntu Server 10.04 of a new Dell server and when I got to "Wiping swap space for security", the installer is hung at 21% progress for about an hour. Does anyone know if it's safe to reboot at this stage? [00:01] how do you shut down the xserver in 10.10 to install the nvidia driver? [00:01] starn: possibly [00:01] Ok, so I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my machine, and I'd like to install KDE. Is there any way to install KDE3 from a Kubuntu 10.04 (KDE3 Respin) CD? [00:02] !kubuntu | Sir_Konrad [00:02] Sir_Konrad: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [00:02] ActionParsnip: i think you did and thanks again gonna try this player. hope its low resource and everything. i'm glade to be getting my comp back up and running after hd got wiped due to power outage [00:02] I ran 10.04 live on a laptop with a chrome via chipset, and the resolution is set at 1600x1200 and cannot be changed without garbling the image. is there a fix to this? [00:02] Draqul, that wouldn't be an Ubuntu question? [00:02] starn: its very low resource, its in a ppa and not in the repos [00:02] I'm installing from Ubuntu. :P [00:03] starn: if power outages are common then I recommend a UPS [00:03] Sir_Konrad: Ubuntu uses Gnome. Kubuntu uses KDE. For all KDE/Kubuntu questions you will find the fastest, most comprehensive help in #Kubuntu [00:03] yeah [00:03] or you will find ubuntu even faster if you install openbox instead [00:04] ok, thanks Draqul. :) [00:04] Sir_Konrad: you're just looking to install KDE in UBuntu? [00:04] magicianlord: it [00:04] :hello [00:04] magicianlord: it's even faster if you run openbox alone, like I am doing [00:04] Draqul, specifically KDE3, but yes. [00:04] Sir_Konrad: if you can find a ppa with it on then you can [00:05] StarCraft_II, okay okay [00:05] I'll just use betavine [00:05] Draqul: dats what i do [00:05] ActionParsnip, right but I have a slow connection and I have a Kubuntu CD. I want to install it off of the CD> [00:05] brb [00:05] Sir_Konrad: Sir_Konrad one moment while I look for you. I do not know if KDE3 has any working packages still in the repos... [00:06] StarCraft_II, next suggestion sometimes when i have mobile broadband i have to check enable broadband to disable it in network manager to get it to work i don't kow why [00:06] ActionParsnip: ups? whats that when i see ups i see united postal service... [00:06] Draqul, it does, but how do I install from a CD? [00:06] starn: uninterruptable power suply [00:06] *supply [00:07] Sir_Konrad: from a CD? You'll need a Kubuntu.iso to install kde from a livecd. [00:07] Draqul, no possible way to get the .deb packages from it and install it onto a Ubuntu install? [00:07] Sir_Konrad: and yes, I can see here that there are still working trinity packages, though there are some reports of breakage for k3d and kdelibs. [00:07] ActionParsnip: i've been thinking bout getting one. don't have the money right now though thanks for the suggestion though. i have so many notes from suggestions like that. <3 the ubuntu comunity its super helpful [00:07] StarCraft_II, you there? i said check enable mobile broadband by right clicking networ manager then disable it and if your connectio is still available select it this happens to me a lot these days [00:08] Sir_Konrad: get the KDE packages off an Ubuntu cd, you mean? [00:08] Draqul, right. [00:09] Sir_Konrad: no, because there are no KDE packages on an Ubuntu livecd. Ubuntu only ships with GNOME. [00:09] Draqul, is that possible or am I dreaming? [00:09] hey, where are the gnome-panel->applications->wine entries? I need to delete shortcuts to nonexisting software. [00:09] Draqul, can I get the KDE packages from a Kubuntu CD? [00:10] Sir_Konrad: yes, you can. [00:10] Draqul, and then install them on Ubuntu? [00:10] Sir_Konrad: Yes, I believe you can. You will need to ask someone else the precise procedure, but I believe it is possible. [00:11] Any help peoples? [00:11] Sir_Konrad: if you add the cd as a repo then yes [00:11] ActionParsnip, how would you do that? [00:11] yes, [00:11] I can't find the .deb files on the CD. [00:11] Sir_Konrad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [00:11] Sir_Konrad: I might be off topic.. but can't you get them from ubuntu directly? Is there a reason to need the CD? [00:12] you can install it [00:12] Sir_Konrad: you dont find the debs, you add the CD and the OS sorts them out for you [00:12] Diamondcite, slow internet connection. 250MB bandwidth. [00:12] Sir_Konrad, it is possible if you have the alternative cd but the regular cd does not really have the packages just a pre pressed file system with the packages already installed /configured to run so get yourself the alternative cd or download them [00:12] Sir_Konrad: alternatively: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Lucid [00:12] obengdako, so I need to get the alternative CD? [00:13] yep or just download at least to my knowledge anyone correct me if i'm wrong Sir_Konrad [00:14] obengdako, hmm... doesn't seem there's a KDE3 Alternative CD. [00:14] Sir_Konrad: what your system installed and the cd you have ?? [00:14] Sir_Konrad: the PPA link I gave is much easier [00:14] Hi i've a problem with thunderbird, i've an archive backup of thunderbird created with mozbackup but in ubuntu mozbackup dont work, how can i do to import backup ton thunderbird? [00:14] To heck with it, I'll just get KDE4 [00:15] Sir_Konrad: or debian [00:15] ActionParsnip, right, but I would have to download it and I don't have the bandwidth. [00:15] blakkheim, I could but Ubuntu was hard enough to install on this Mac. :P [00:15] hard? [00:16] blakkheim, yeah it's hard to install on a Mac. [00:16] Sir_Konrad, the dvd installs have lots of packages on them but anyway "to heck with it" [00:16] Sir_Konrad: how so? [00:16] HI. Can I install ubuntu on EYO netbook with arm architecture? [00:16] by pendrive [00:17] blakkheim, I have to have 10MB between each drive or it overlaps, have to install a custom firmware hack, driver issues, etc. [00:17] i updated the drivers, but it still doesn't work [00:17] Sir_Konrad: i've installed linux on my mac very easily with none of those problems [00:17] obengdako, yeah, I guess I should just give up the nostalgia of KDE3 [00:17] blakkheim, MacBookPro 5,5? [00:17] Sir_Konrad: the latest macbook pro with i5 and 330m [00:18] blakkheim, Hmm... Strange. :\ [00:18] blakkheim, how does the trackpad work for you? [00:18] Sir_Konrad, well don't give up on that since i have a 7.0.. cd with packages for kde3 so i don't really worry about that [00:18] Have u tried with Parallels? I'm running backtrack on my macbook black [00:19] Sir_Konrad: i don't use linux on it anymore, but it worked alright when i did [00:19] would someone help me change my resolution, i only have one option? [00:19] galadude: try installing drivers for your card [00:20] thankyou [00:21] HI. Can I install ubuntu on EYO netbook with arm architecture? [00:21] obengdako, 7.0 of what? [00:21] sefo40: i don't think ubuntu supports arm anymore on the newer versions, but you have other options [00:21] sefo40: gentoo, freebsd, debian all have good ARM ports [00:22] ubuntu supports arm9, no? [00:22] Sir_Konrad, ubuntu 7.10 dvd install it has packages including the old kde3 [00:22] I've tried to install gentoo and it didin't work. [00:23] sefo40: why not? [00:23] I will try debian. Thanks dude [00:23] no prob [00:23] It didnt run [00:23] that's a pretty vague description, i can't be of much help [00:23] !ot [00:23] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:24] Just didn't run [00:25] obengdako, ok. :P [00:25] sefo40, lets take non-ubuntu chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please [00:25] obengdako, so I should just grab the Kubuntu 10.04 LTS Alternate ISO and use that to get KDE 4 on this box? [00:26] ok [00:26] hello, i built a low end pentium 133mhz/64meg ram. i'm looking for some software to run in terminal. i never installed X11 [00:26] hi, i read on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/ReleaseNotes that a mysql 5.0 database should be removed before upgrading (on ubuntu server), the sentence is somehow misleading or something. Can i just have the update manager upgrade mysql to 5.1 and keep my databases as they are? there shouldnt be too much differences? [00:27] upgrading from 9.04 to 0.10 [00:27] 9.10 [00:28] Jygga, how about 10.04? LTS version. [00:28] Sir_Konrad im on 9.04 i cant directly go to 10.04 [00:28] Jygga: I did an upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS a few weeks ago and all seemed to have went well .. [00:29] hello all! any idea if it's safe to delete log files from /var/lib/awstats? will any of the stats be messed up from deleting them? [00:29] Jygga: I did notice a couple of my sites had some minor issues with the WordPress users, but it didn't take much to fix them .. [00:29] they seem to be copies of the apache logs [00:29] Jygga: Yes, that's the default behavior. The release note is saying you have to do something special if you're upgrading manually with apt-get dist-upgrade. [00:30] thank you NineTeen67Comet ill just back them up, close my eyes and hit return [00:30] grin .. you using the cli to do the upgrade .. [00:30] (so if you're upgrading correctly, with do-release-upgrade or update-manager, you're fine) [00:30] i got no gui Oo [00:30] v0lksman: http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_config.html#PurgeLogFile [00:31] yes thank you too rww :) [00:31] rww, the link u gave to me its only show how to upgrade maverick using cd... i dont have cd, but thumb drive [00:31] Jygga: as no server should .. mine are all headless too .. have fun .. I'm off to breakfast .. [00:31] unitedpotsmokers: Umm. You said you had "10.10 alternate cd". Alternate CDs can't be LiveUSBs, so you presumably either have the CD itself or an ISO of it, and the instructions I gave cover both. [00:32] where does one download ubuntu 10.10.1 ? [00:32] 36 million to 250 million [00:32] 10.10.1 is out? [00:32] i thought so [00:32] k-rad: there is no 10.10.1; point releases are only made for LTSes, and 10.10 isn't an LTS. [00:32] i heard someone mention it [00:32] ok [00:32] yeah, it's a better release [00:33] i didn't find LTS to be a stable release [00:33] ActionParsnip, thanks. ArchiveLogRecords...so the log files should be safe to delete (i hope..) :) [00:33] yes, i don't think so [00:33] rww. yes i download 10.10 alternate cd. and i use "startup disk creator" extract the files to thumb drive.. [00:35] unitedpotsmokers: then go back, get the ISO you used, and put that on the USB stick instead. No point in complicating things by making it a startup disk. [00:36] hi all [00:36] rww... format the thumb drive, copy alternate 10.10.iso into pendrive, OK [00:36] I have desktop PC with intel atom n330 and nV ION graphics- all in ubuntu 10.04 [00:36] uosiu: oooooookkkkkk ? and.... [00:37] When I use propertiary drivers from nV screen quality is very bad [00:37] like 256 colors + no antialiasing [00:37] 46" TV connected through HDMI in 1920x1080 [00:38] when I use drivers shipped "out of the box" screen quality is perfect === m00sula is now known as contm00sula [00:39] uosiu: then you may need to use nvidia-settings to setup the screen === contm00sula is now known as CountmOOsula [00:39] uosiu: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig then set the resolutions and such the card / TV combo can do [00:39] i just finished an aptitude upgrade and it pulled a kernel update, telling me it requires a restart. Should i restart before do-release-upgrade? [00:40] Jygga: can't hurt, and might avoid trouble later on, yes. [00:41] i guess i better check grub before i do [00:41] ActionParsnip: nothing changed :( [00:42] rww, now i copy iso into thumb drive... [00:42] uosiu: if the open drivers work fine, i'd use them. Try some vids and such [00:43] are there any more complete /etc/services files? [00:43] ActionParsnip: I need h/w acceleration for web browser. It's advert station that displays info on TV placed on the wall [00:43] that don't just include rfc standard ports but others that are widely accepted [00:44] uosiu: then you may need to fight xorg.conf til you get a nice picture. See if there are any samples for your model etc. [00:46] Hi peeps, i'm running awesome as my wm and i'm looking for a sound contoller that works. Any good sugestions? [00:46] jstoone_, pavucontrol ? [00:46] dli: cool i'll try that one! [00:47] . [00:48] 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 [00:48] when i connect to the festivalserver manually it all works fine [00:48] I tar'd everything in my /etc/samba directory and then removed --purged samba.. on reinstall it did not install a default /etc/samba/smb.conf file .. why is that? [00:49] i had enough of Marverick...time to delete it!!! [00:49] how do I get mp3 working? [00:50] I just wanna listen to internet radio [00:50] does ubuntu 10.04 live USB have tmpfs capabilities on it? [00:50] but I keep getting plugin not found in rhythmbox [00:50] Scunizi, apt-file search smb.conf , samba-common: /usr/share/samba/smb.conf [00:50] abstrakt: you need the plugins, they're in synaptics, under gstreamer [00:50] abstrakt: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:50] dli: It works great thanks! Now I'm looking for a good Dvd player? I just inserted a DVD (A-Team) and dunno what's on the market (: [00:50] aborticide, tmpfs has been in kernel for long, I guess yes [00:51] 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)..... [00:51] pibarnas, thing is, I did that [00:51] dli: so there's 2 smb.conf files? [00:51] jstoone_, mplayer, xine-ui, vlc, totem [00:51] dli: suppose to be anyway? one where you stated and one in /etc/samba ?? [00:51] dli: prove it [00:51] Scunizi, you want a default smb.conf, you can copy it to /etc/samba/ === administrator is now known as Guest66571 [00:52] dli: ah, totaly forgot I've got mplayer install already. Thanks again. [00:52] dli: ok.. that's easy.. but then why wasn't it put there on the reinstall in the first place as a default? [00:52] speech-dispatcher-festival is lying btw [00:53] "" [00:53] line in the /etc/init.d/festival file. [00:53] that file does not exist.. [00:53] (makes sense since i never ever told festival to autoboot, not did i get a question about it on install) [00:54] dli: /usr/share/samba doesn't exist on my system.. [00:54] HOLA [00:55] pibarnas, any other ideas? [00:56] abstrakt: didn't that one work? [00:56] Scunizi, sudo apt-get install samba-common [00:56] pibarnas, nope, I have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and I'm looking at the thing in Synaptic right now and there's a nice semi-3D green square to the left of the name [00:56] indicating it is installed [00:57] if I make a custom LiveCD/LiveDVD, is it legal to include ubuntu-restricted-extras? [00:57] pibarnas, I've already rebooted [00:57] abstrakt: you just want to listen mp3? is that it? [00:57] misspapaya, read the license agreements for all the software [00:57] pibarnas, well, specifically internet radio [00:57] misspapaya: the restricted area legality is based on location, not customized install media [00:57] what's samba? [00:57] pibarnas, but yes, I do have mp3s [00:57] pibarnas, and also, the stream I listen to is mp3 [00:58] andrewh192: how windows and linux can communicate to share resources [00:58] and I don't think they have .ogg or anything [00:58] ogg ftw :) [00:58] ActionParsnip: so I need to look up the legality for distribution for my location? [00:58] 没有中文？ [00:58] misspapaya, um, I don't know that the legality changes by location [00:58] hola alguien sabe como pasar un PDF a ODT incluyendo las imagenes [00:59] misspapaya, I think legality is legality in terms of software licenses [00:59] 有说中文的吗 ？ [00:59] !cn | lixin [00:59] lixin: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [00:59] !es | siber_ [00:59] siber_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

I'm trying to centralize auth and /home storage for a handful of ubuntu 10.10 workstations. I saw the /home part of it can be done using autofsldap, any suggestions as to how manage the authentication part? [00:59] abstrakt, misspapaya: legality of restricted extras is mostly legality in terms of *patents*, so it definitely depends on location [01:02] Hello all. I know this is a bit off topic but at&t does not give support for linux machines. This is my 1st time ever using DSL (I've always used cable) Is there anything I must know about DSL or PPoP that is not allowing me to have internet access once I connect my router? TIA! [01:04] Is it possible to have one rsa ssh key work with two names, on my local machione I'm user@localhost, and on this remote machine I'm user@remote, The remote machine is a hosting a git repository, and it keeps denying my login even though I gave it the public key for user@localhost, but it prompts for password of user@remote ?? help? [01:05] hah, I figured it out, sorry, nm, laterz [01:06] oh [01:06] Hello all. I know this is a bit off topic but at&t does not give support for linux machines. This is my 1st time ever using DSL (I've always used cable) Is there anything I must know about DSL or PPoP that is not allowing me to have internet access once I connect my router? TIA! [01:07] I used gparte dand I got a lot of errors for trying to resize a part of the extended partition which has the system fikles for windwos [01:07] Hiya. I'm a Lucid user trying to coax 3D acceleration out of an ATI card. Can I get a hand? [01:07] damnedyankee: sure, let me hand you an nvidia card [01:08] blakkheim: LOL If only. [01:09] it says this: it gave me this: http://yfrog.com/emscreenshot2ggp [01:10] OK, figured it was worth a shot. Ciao, y'all. [01:11] Is anyone here very good with networking under 10.04? [01:11] !ask | agamotto [01:11] agamotto: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:12] agamotto: i recognize your nick from cat5 [01:12] anyone know if my NTFSD part: is basically f#### [01:12] Q: I have lost all networking after a hibernate/suspend in Ubuntu 10.04.1... I have tried the rm /~NetworkManager.state solution, no result... ideas? [01:12] blakkheim, ya [01:13] hi [01:13] hi, quick question. I would like to backup my hole internal harddisk to an external one (I have a sony vaio Z with raid 0) how can I do this I'd like to have an identical copy that I could restore later [01:13] anyone have a clue why I there's no "3d cube" with my compiz install? [01:13] I go to the desktop and scroll but nothing happens [01:13] silverrocker, Use an imaging program such as Ghost 4 Linux or Clonezilla, it will copy whole drive [01:14] agamotto: I tried clonezilla but it says that I have to unmount the source (I havent mounted it) [01:14] silverrocker, Now that is odd [01:14] agamotto: remeber that I have 4 ssd's in a raid 0 [01:15] 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 [01:15] this is completely undocumented... [01:15] silverrocker, Yah, I think you are out of my league with that one, sorry... [01:15] also no docs whatsoever mentioning festival, except that it "is supported" [01:15] anyone have a clue why I there's no "3d cube" with my compiz install? [01:15] agamotto: do you know wheere I can go with my question? [01:16] silverrocker, The forums would be my best guess, as I don't know much about RAID configs [01:16] silverrocker, is the disk close to full? [01:16] Ward|: close to empty [01:16] silverrocker: 4 SSDs in a RAID 0, max speed baby [01:16] Judax: I know rite XD [01:16] is it safe to install the new ubuntu software center on my 10.4 [01:16] ??? [01:17] silverrocker, oh, then dd is not a very good option since it will also save empty space [01:17] silverrocker, are you from BE btw? lol [01:17] Ward|: yes how do you know? zijt gij van uhasselt? [01:17] silverrocker, i was [01:17] silverrocker, As a joke, try the Partition Magic live cd... it has help me solve several problems... still not sure about the RAID bits, due to lack of experience with them [01:18] silverrocker: pipe dd through gzip [01:18] Hi fellas [01:18] misspapaya: should I dedicate an external drive for this? === Nick is now known as Guest33415 [01:18] silverrocker: you can back up to a file if you want [01:19] silverrocker: hardware RAID or software RAID? [01:19] Judax: I'm not shure I think hardware [01:19] silverrocker: did you set up the RAID in ubuntu or in your bios? [01:19] silverrocker: Did you configure the RAID before the O/S? [01:20] hehe [01:20] Hello [01:20] misspapaya: it's preconfigured but I can see the raid in the bios [01:20] Having a bit of trouble with 10.10 netbook [01:20] I am getting errors from gparted and it says that the NTFS partitiion is corrupted becuase of ocrrupt partioning table or incorrect partioning [01:20] does anyone else prefer opera browser, but have it crash alot in ubuntu? is there a fix (besides mozilla, heh) that i could try. [01:20] fakeraid probably :s [01:20] opera's pretty buggy on anything but windows ive found [01:20] and that some op's may be unavailable [01:20] misspapaya: so I have sda sdb sdc and sdd, I should do dd if=/dev/sda | gzip output and repeat for each drive? [01:21] a terminal window pops up on every login, anyone know how to disable that? [01:21] silverrocker: you could, it would generate a backup [01:21] that would compress out all the zeros [01:21] so i installed maverick from scratch, and since then i've been having video playing issues with flash, totem and occasionally mplayer where the frames drop and eventually stop while the audio continues, it then roughly catches up for 30 seconds or so [01:21] nvidia drivers, release version, release version of everything else, all upgrades applied [01:21] misspapaya: and how would I restore it? [01:21] running twinview [01:21] Nicolas: look in startup apps, make sure its not checked off [01:22] silverrocker: then to restore, decompress with gzip and pipe back to the devices from a liveCD [01:22] Cany anyone lend me an ear? easy problem im guessing [01:22] sorry [01:22] dk2 i tried that [01:22] gzip output | dev/sda like that? [01:22] heh all I wanted was to resize C: to install visual C++ 2010 express to do ARM7TDMI programming on the GBA platform [01:22] heh [01:22] Nicolas: ok, do a regular startup, close the terminal, check off "remember running apps" and try a restart? [01:22] DK_2, I gave up on Opera for those reasons... nice, but useless for me [01:23] agamotto: but i love opera so much [01:23] i tried installing diffrent methods of ubuntu 10.10 and 10.4 to my computer and regardless when installation is complete it says restart, however it doesnt fully reboot the computer.

[01:44] No, I mean, when it first installed it created a file that had the passwords for the program in it, which I need. When I uninstalled it because something happened to that file, I reinstalled it, but the passwords file didn't come back. [01:44] Guest77890, I just gave you what to install [01:45] ArtyG: so when you uninstalled it, the passwords were deleted? [01:45] is there a way to make `apt-get install (bunch of packages)` continue even if it hits "E: Couldn't find package" ? [01:45] hangfire: Why it can be need? === Anita_Gofradump is now known as Geitenneuker [01:45] Basically, the application is a server that writes its default passwords to a file when it's first installed, then you use those to log in and change the passwords. [01:45] When I uninstalled and reinstalled it, the passwords file wasn't made this time around, so I can't log in. [01:46] I have a package, openfire, that _requires_ one of sun-java[56]-jre, but works great with openjdk 6 headless. Nevertheless, despite having forced its installation it's now demanding I remove it any time I want to work with any other packages. Is there a way I can tell it to permanently disregard that requirement? [01:48] got it.. just edit "available" and "status" and remove the lines.

[02:01] owner, example: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/sandwich.png [02:01] owner: no, whatever command you are using, launch it with sudo. If you are installing nvidia drivers they are on the repos [02:02] owner, you type sudo before the command. example: sudo rpm -ivh driver.rp, [02:02] owner, you type sudo before the command. example: sudo rpm -ivh driver.rpm [02:02] is there anything like evince but with tabs? [02:02] owner, if the file is executable that will work [02:02] draging it to the terminal [02:02] i downloaded it straight from the nvidia site witch are the updated ones the drivers on the updater their the old ones [02:02] Boardinary: the acrobat reader from adobe may do it [02:02] sudo apt-get doesn't work with tomahawk... [02:03] owner: there are PPAs with newer [02:03] owner, restricted drivers should be available on the default ubuntu install, is there any reason you need to download from nvidias site?

[02:07] con-man, ... duh [02:07] con-man: yes rpm are differenmt but the difference is not just the file extension, they are meaningless. Like those people who think bash scripts need to end in .shwhen they dont [02:07] con-man, sudo -i for a root shell [02:07] ActionParsnip, where does acroread install its launcher? [02:08] bazhang, sudo su does the same thing as sudo -i?

[02:27] its making mine run a *lot* hotter than windows ever did. [02:27] owner, it works perfectly. but you have to maintain your setup [02:27] unitedpotsmokers, did you install any debs from websites or anything like that? any debs not from the repo's [02:28] hi. i recently installed lubuntu on a usb drive and accidentally installed grub on it. after i did that, it removed grub from my harddrive and i could only boot from usb. but someone helped me and i fixed so grub is on my harddrive again.but now i can't boot from usb. anyone know whats wrong? the usb should have grub on it too [02:28] what do you mean? [02:28] Ward|, yes.. a lot [02:28] owner, and if you are not able to stop and restart your X server to fullfill the installation, drop it. ubuntus version saves you from reading many docs [02:28] owner, i can almost promise you the performance difference will be minimal if not unmeasurable [02:28] Ward|, disable them 1st?

I'm trying to get a vsftp server running on an Ubuntu installation. I need to change the port from the default of 21. I'm able to successfully change the port, but the "list" command doesn't execute properly. I suspect because the server is trying to send information to the client over port 20. I tried changing that too, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to change the [03:38] pw-toxic_, sudo iptables -F [03:38] how can I tell what rate my wifi is connecting? ie, is it G or N?

[03:40] Draqul: is that G? http://pastebin.com/dq8Mz2G3 [03:40] ChogyDan: if your router supports G, then yes. [03:41] Is anyone here well versed with iptables?

I'm finding it to be wickid difficult to configure a different port despite the fact that all documentation I can find says otherwise.

[04:01] dli, can you walk me thorgh that [04:01] yeah ,it success [04:01] but oh well [04:01] rsvp - I've got picasa which never changes your original image. It saves changes and you export the changed picture. [04:02] randal, like from the desktop: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.2 netmask 255.255.255.0;sudo route add default gw 192.168.100.1 [04:02] dli, the desktop is windows [04:02] randal, at the netbook side: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 [04:03] hello [04:03] you need networking help? [04:03] dli, now how do i do that in windows 7 [04:03] annoying, chrome keeps bugging me that I have an unresponsive page while I'm uploading images from imgur. Annoying. Obnoxious. Every 18 seconds. -- while I am typing this too. FYI [04:03] randal, figure out how to set IP manually then, you need IP/netmask, default router (192.168.100.1), and DNS server (use your IPS's, the same as on netbook) [04:03] thanks rsvp [04:03] randal, I don't know windows :( [04:03] rsvp good nick. [04:03] randal: http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2009/11/26/windows-7-static-ip/ [04:03] i will trade networking knowledge for ubuntu graphics driver help === CountmOOsula is now known as doedelzak [04:04] randal, the 192.168.100. part is just for example, you can use whatever you like, as far as it's free from conflicts [04:05] dli, so i set my netbook to what you gave me so what should i set my desktop too [04:05] if you have a conflict you can do a release/renew [04:05] can someone point me to how to make an executable--installed merely by unzipping it--runnable from a launcher? I'm forced to find it with Nautilus and clicking Run on the dialog that pops up. [04:06] tripelb: try chromium-daily, it may have the bug fixed [04:06] randal, your netbook can be 192.168.100.1/255.255.255.0, and your desktop can be 192.168.100.2/255.255.255.0, and your netbook (192.168.100.1) will be the default router(gateway) for desktop [04:06] ericenns_: could you assist me a little further with rsyslog? [04:06] smalls2: sure [04:06] dli, ok i figured out how to do on windows just give me a sec to try it out [04:06] i would set your network to be 192.168.1.x [04:07] randal, you can use DNS in /etc/resolv.conf of the netbook as DNSs for your desktop [04:07] hi [04:07] dli, now im confused [04:07] The documentation i found, took a few tweaks, but it's now outputting to another file -- however it's also still putting out to the original file also -- do you know how to make it stop processing it upon a match? [04:07] randal, optional, you can run dnsmasq on netbook, and use netbook(192.168.100.1) as DNS for your desktop [04:07] i think i may need to put it in another config file, nvm hang on [04:07] ok [04:07] dli, ill just do what you prvesly said stop confusing me lol [04:08] how can I install a SIMPLE ftp server [04:08] one that I configure with a password and shows ONE directory that I choose upfront [04:08] nothing that integrates with users in the system [04:09] just installed ubuntu on my netbookd and this thing is slow, [04:09] is there anyone here that can help me figure out how to get my radeon PCI card to work with linux?? === AndrewMC is now known as SpockVulcan [04:09] ericenns_: interesting. well, that documention is for 'additional' logging, it seems. I put it in the main config fail and it will terminate processing on the first match (not duplicate) [04:09] randal to determine your dns on your netboot to nslookup host, Server:ip is your dns servers ip [04:09] dli crap im so confused now [04:09] now I'm in xfce [04:09] what is randal trying to do? [04:09] smalls2: so putting it in the main config causes it not to log anything else? [04:10] alesan: this one looks easy: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [04:10] dli, so what i did was set my desktop ip too 192.168.100.2 subnet defalt gateway to 192.168.100.1 [04:10] dli, how to i check to see what my netbook is set to [04:10] smalls2: I will look at one config on my server on sex [04:10] sec [04:11] ericenns_: doc says to add the lines to: /etc/rsyslog.d/iptables.conf [04:11] Loshki, and where do you configure the directory? [04:11] if you do that, it appears to run through /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf FIRST, then the additional config files in that directory [04:11] Loshki, where do I specify an username and the password? [04:12] dli, im still having problems connecting the the network [04:12] so, i put the rule at the TOP of /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf and deleted the iptables.conf file, it hits the match, writes to the specified log file, and stops processing that message [04:12] smalls2: ok I have only used /etc/rsyslog.conf [04:12] I'm getting whooped by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/656526 -- some people have resolved it by booting 10.04 and doing an fsck.ext4, but I can't even boot 10.04. I get a message saying "no init found, Try passing init=bootarg". Ideas? [04:12] smalls2: so is it working for you then? [04:12] yea, /etc/rsyslog.conf doesnt exist in 10.10 (at least netbook ver) [04:12] yes, just adding to /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf removed the duplicate message recording [04:13] thank you for the help =) [04:13] smalls2: ok no problem you could always make iptables conf 10-iptables.conf [04:13] dli, what do i put for dns [04:13] smalls2: that makes that rule get processed earlier [04:13] alesan: It says the default user account is called 'anonymous" or "ftp", it uses the FTP Home directory (configurable I assume) and hides the rest of the filesystem.... [04:14] now, i have one other issue i'm working on. I am trying to set up a startup script containing: [04:14] /etc/startup/fwrules.sh & [04:14] echo "iptables rules applied: $(date)" >> /var/log/custom_messages.log [04:14] xterm -geometry 1000x7+0-0 +bc -bg "black" -fg "white" -e "watch tail /var/log/custom_messages.log -n5" & [04:14] smalls2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:14] Loshki, I do not see how you can specify an arbitrary directory and username [04:14] how3ever, when i boot up, the echo line does not execute -- the other ones do, though. [04:14] Are you kidding me. I tried another FTP program and I have the *exact* same problem [04:14] Is there a firewall on Ubuntu? [04:14] fishscene: iptables [04:14] How do I disable it? [04:15] fishscene: iptables -F [04:15] or try [04:15] fishscene: iptables -F; iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT; iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT [04:15] dli, are you still there [04:16] smalls2, if iptables is not the problem, how would I "undo" these commands? [04:16] hmmm, reboot? haha [04:16] so this is a temporary solution? [04:16] first, do... iptables -nvL [04:16] see if anything is in there [04:17] iptables-save > (somefile) this will dump your rules to a file [04:17] and then iptables-restore < (somefile) will reload from that file [04:17] hi, i am trying to convert to ubuntu (from fedora). trying to install mysql-devel ... ... what are the "devel" packages called in ubuntu? [04:17] smalls2: where do you put your script [04:18] dli, k i deter,mined that im having problems makeing my netbook etho go on static ip [04:18] alesan: Uh, there seem to be a lot of them. See if this one suits you better: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 [04:18] cpg: not sure but try sudo apt-cache search mysql, like sudo yum search mysql [04:19] i have a question: how do you add a group as a member of another group? i tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixShowAllUsers and I can't follow after looking for gnome-system-tools/users key [04:19] Loshki, I've already tried that [04:19] ericenns_: thanks ... [04:19] libmysqlclient perhaps [04:19] ericenns_: I created /etc/startup/startup.sh, and using the 'startup applications' app, i added that script [04:19] alesan: sorry, then, dunno. Keep asking.... [04:20] Loshki, that is rather obsolete, and it requires to create users [04:20] dli ericenns_ i changed my etho setting to shared to other computer in ipv4 setiings and it let me connect will this owrk [04:20] i set permissions on the fail to 4755 [04:20] ugh [04:20] ftp is still failing [04:20] ericenns_: how about the equivalent of yum list all ? [04:20] :) [04:21] alesan: all the ftp servers are a bit old nowadays, it's an old protocol. Most people use http instead nowadays... [04:21] I like IRC better [04:21] also NNTP [04:21] but I need FTP [04:22] cpg: generally, the devels are named -dev in ubuntu. apt-cache search mysql | egrep dev. The problem is lots of choices...

[04:22] randal: easyiest way right click on networking in gnome tool-bar [04:23] randal: ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x [04:23] Diamondcite, because the embedded device I am using wants to download a firmware update from ftp [04:23] I do not need any security; I just want a username and password and ability to download a file [04:23] alesan: And you get to specifiy the ftp server to use? [04:23] Diamondcite, what? [04:23] ericenns_, smalls2 im confused on what to put for my gateway or do i leave that blank [04:24] can you re-state your question? [04:24] randal: are you behind a router? modem? firewall? [04:24] alesan: Well.. even if you setup an ftp server.. what makes the device use YOUR ftp server and not the vendors' ftp for example.. [04:24] cpg: wait I mat have gave you the wrong command yum list all, shows all installed apps right then this is equivalent in ubuntu debian "dpkg –get-selections" [04:24] randal: is the system currently connected and able to use network resources? [04:24] there is a GUI where you specify the host, user and password [04:25] Diamondcite, ^^^ [04:25] ericenns_: kk [04:25] wifi at boot? before login?

[05:06] hey guys I am having trouble connecting to my wireless netweork [05:06] Dan48p: most likely it's just the driver.. I use it on my 8200 card on my desktop with no issues really.. you can always uninstall it and go back to the previous one.. a ppa will allow you to list it as a repository.. so typically it's a simple update [05:06] It worked earlier... [05:06] randal_, no, you don't change/add gateway after wifi up [05:06] Sean93, i think its possible in some situations to undelete, tho i havent done it mysef [05:06] rooks: how? [05:06] dli, it wont let me get rid of the gateway address [05:07] Then I turned the computer off, and voila, not no longer works.

[05:13] randal_, now, you need ip_nat, you save the file from pastebin, chmod +x, and sudo to run it [05:13] Exploiter, that is not folder grub is installed [05:13] dli what [05:13] rooks: that is for ext3 im using ext4 [05:14] dli, how do i save it [05:14] Dan48p: this one https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau [05:14] randal_, http://pastebin.com/mZDZRBuG , save the script file [05:14] randomnik, its an grub file, i guess but its blank file [05:14] Sean93, ah, k, sorry [05:14] hello [05:14] since 10.10, my videos are freezing [05:14] i upgraded to maverick and eclipse can't find the plugins I installed directly in eclipse anymore [05:15] anything i play in vlc/player [05:15] dli, save it in gedit? [05:15] Exploiter, boot/grub/grub.cfg [05:15] does anyone know of a fruityloops type program with 808 beats to make music on ubuntu? [05:15] Sean93: rooks: that also just searches for certain file types. most of the config files in /etc/apt have no extension [05:15] fixed my problem.... ubuntu didn't like the fact my second hard drive on my pc was formatted ntfs i told ubuntu to install using the entire disk however it was on a sepprate hard drive [05:15] any ideas? [05:15] i guess when you install ubuntu you have to detach other hard drives on your computer [05:16] rentistoodamhigh, http://lmms.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php i don't know anything about it but it looks cool [05:16] my videos just freeze and then i get a "failed to parse stream" message [05:16] randal_, save it to a file, i.g. nat.sh ; chmod a+x nat.sh ; sudo ./nat.sh [05:16] either that or they continue [05:16] izinucs, thanks for the help... we'll see how this goes [05:16] DrkCodeman: nope.. you just have to use the manual partioning when you get to that section on install.. [05:17] randal_, after that, your desktop would be online [05:17] izinucs: you should just be to tell it to install to the entire disk and target the disk you want it installed on [05:17] :( [05:17] Dan48p: after adding the ppa repository then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. with the new driver installed you may have to restart x with sudo service gdm restart [05:17] dli, randal@randal-1008HA:~$ sudo chmod a+x nat.sh [05:17] [sudo] password for randal: [05:17] randal@randal-1008HA:~$ chmod a+x nat.sh [05:17] randal@randal-1008HA:~$ ^C [05:17] randal@randal-1008HA:~$ [05:17] randal_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:18] izinucs, do i need to remove the drivers that i currently have installed? [05:18] rooks: can you send me one? :P [05:18] DrkCodeman: after you learn a bit you'll discover that manually partitioning and creating a separate /home is *very* beneficial.. [05:18] dli i still dont have internet [05:18] Dan48p: no.. [05:18] Sean93, sure :) [05:18] izinucs: i guess so :) [05:18] izinucs, ok [05:19] randal_, you chmod it, and you run it with sudo: sudo ./nat.sh [05:19] Why the version of VirtualBox OSE in ubuntu software center is not in sync with guest addons it tries to install on Ubuntu 10.10 guest? on Ubuntu 10.10 host. [05:19] randal_, or sudo /path/to/nat.sh [05:19] BentSpace: both are free. [05:19] dli, my nat file is in home folder [05:19] is my package list in /apt/? [05:19] DrkCodeman: you'll want to do that after hosing your system trying to figure things out and go through a reinstall.. or do an upgrade from one release to antoher and have it break somehow.. [05:20] evon, try sudo umount -l /media/megadisk [05:20] Sean93: yes [05:20] hashbox, won't that unmount the drive? [05:20] evon, and then perhaps a sudo killall ssh to make sure there's nothing using the mountpoint [05:20] we had a ubuntu samba server at work that the terabyte drive took a dump on sucked royaly [05:20] hashbox ok [05:20] randal_, then, sudo ~randal/nat.sh [05:20] switch10_: how do i fix that?

[05:22] Sean93: any changes you have made to files in /etc/apt/, this includes fstab and sources.list, will be lost. === dtcummin is now known as dtcummin_away [05:22] Sean93: you could just copy the default /etc/apt/ dir from a liveCD I would imagine. [05:23] switch10_: i tried that but couldnt find it [05:23] dli, do i have to reset connecting after [05:23] dli, can i just tell that file to run in terminal will that work [05:23] dli, how do you chomod it [05:23] hashbox. it mounts then says this when i try to access through nautilus "Error: Error stating file '/media/megadisk': Input/output error [05:23] Please select another viewer and try again."

[05:41] Some_Person: its good to take it out as an option with testing (my recommendation). If you log on as a different user does it still happen? [05:41] randal, if it's something else, you have to modify the file to read like WANNIC=wlan0 [05:41] ActionParsnip: Thank you. What did that do exactly? [05:41] ActionParsnip: Also, these crashes started after upgrading to Maverick [05:41] replace the current window director with metacity?

Thsnks so much [06:25] help, still no gui after install and reboot. only terminal [06:26] reem12345: your terminal can connect to internet [06:26] ??

[06:27] reem123435: stype 'startx' and see what happens [06:27] oh [06:27] nevermind : P [06:28] reem12345: i think you should configure your graphic card driver, x server and xorg.conf [06:28] I thought ubuntu did that for you [06:28] pityonline, yes, that's hard :( you may try to clean the keys with compressed air [06:28] blackshirt, how do i do that? [06:29] blackshirt: I am gonna have to use the alternate cd and get the core kubuntu upgraded and try to do the rest through my droid, I dont think it will brick everything I might break a few packages here or there though [06:29] reem123435: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide#Step_2:_Install_X [06:29] reem123435, do you know your video card?

[06:30] nissty, its intel gma 4500 [06:30] dli: Well, let me try them in console. [06:31] reem123435: pretty much every video card in existence should be supported [06:31] dli: No, they don't.

[06:33] reem12345: you can use dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to configure your xserver [06:34] [Base 3.2.1] What does effect the setting of Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages > Languages of Locale setting? [06:34] dli: Like this 0xB3 euro, 0xB4 dollar, I think wrong keysym on those keys. [06:35] blackshirt: i was doing some reading before I tried anything else, I know I have compiz which prolly isnt on the disk, and I used the wine project and pidgin projects own repositories so there would be some things I would ahve to uninstall and reinstall late so it didnt brick it [06:35] pityonline, yes, looks like a keymap issue, but I have no experience here [06:35] What program do I need that will create a backup image of my entire drive? I found something called "back in time" but it doesn't seem to be what I am looking for. I just want a simple program that can take an image of my drive so I can save the image to another drive and restore it from the image later. [06:36] dli: Thank you all the same. :) [06:45] blackshirt: yeah, i know but if already have 10.04 installed, is there anything i can do to not have to reinstall everything?

[06:47] hmm [06:47] ActionParsnip: I think you mean me. [06:48] BlackJamMan: yeah, it's been a long shift :( [06:48] ActionParsnip: Can I install it myself locally ? [06:48] ActionParsnip: Or would the admin have to [06:48] trying to install ubuntu on one of my PC's... it's failing to show the boot menu, it's just displaying artifact garbage. [06:48] BlackJamMan: sure, just run: sudo apt-get install mutt [06:48] When I try to add my Google Calendar with Evolution, I find that it is mentioned that SSL should be enabled for evolution, as per http://www.ehow.com/how_4488736_sync-evolution-calendar-google-calendar.html , but I don't find the option in evolution. [06:48] BlackJamMan: only members of admin can install packages [06:48] I guess the problem is that it's connected via hdmi to the monitor. [06:49] ActionParsnip: I don't have the root pass. [06:49] BlackJamMan: there isn't one [06:49] BlackJamMan: if you run: groups are you a member of admin? [06:49] ActionParsnip: no. It's not my 'box' [06:49] BlackJamMan: i see, then the owner will need to set it up for you [06:49] ActionParsnip: but there is no mail or pine. He removed it for some reason and I can't figure out how to read my mail [06:50] ActionParsnip: I get "you have new mail" on login, but no way to read it I know of [06:50] ... that was odd [06:50] I mashed escape before the graphical boot menu came up [06:50] then it just timed out and started booting. [06:51] ActionParsnip: So I have to wait on him pretty much ? [06:51] .... sure is taking a long time to boot..

[06:55] BlackJamMan: does 'more /var/spool/mail/' work? [06:55] BlackJamMan: you MAY be able to download the deb, extract it to $HOME then execute it there, it may work [06:55] BlackJamMan: i see [06:56] Loshki: yeah I can atleast read it [06:57] Evolution can't work with Google calendar, 'cause the "Use SSL" is not there in the Google setup calendar. Any help? [06:57] BlackJamMan: then my advice is to live with it till your sysadmin shows up....

[08:03] drew212: just go to software sources [08:03] newbie_bob you're gonna have to research the techspecs for that model and see if that chipset/chip/graphics adapter/etc... is supported with a bunch of google searches [08:03] drew212: delete it from /etc/apt/sources.list [08:04] meanieface: that would require me learn to use gnome =P [08:04] drew212: sorry i thought you were using gnome :) [08:04] meanieface: i am, but i prefer terminal [08:04] drew212: use drew212's answer [08:05] drew212: sorry ectospasm [08:05] !ilovefairuz: could you tell me, how to open the software center on linux ubuntu 10.10 [08:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:05] newbie_bob: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/ although some aren't listed,as the manufactures or the laptop testing team haven't come across, but don't worry. :) === murray is now known as Guest6199 [08:06] ectospasm: it's not showing up in sources.list [08:06] ilovefairuz: could you tell me, how to open the software center on linux ubuntu 10.10 === Guest6199 is now known as ishmael [08:06] ectospasm: something is terribly broken [08:06] gunnargumpert: Application > (at the bottom) Software Centre [08:06] drew212: it may be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [08:06] drew212: no, it doesn't sound like it is [08:06] is there a way to do a bulk rename say...by regex (I need to cut the last three characters before the file extension and paste it at the beginning of the file name) [08:06] iLLf8d: Thanks, you'll forgive my ignorace... The chipset, is the cpu? [08:06] JoeMaverickSett: there is no "Applications" [08:06] sorry [08:07] I have at least 100 files that would be sweet in a rename at the terminal but I don't know how to "script" it [08:07] gunnargumpert: i assume you have the gnome-panel? [08:07] Frijolie: it should be quite simple, how are all the files the same? Same filename extension?

[08:08] ectospasm, yes '.txt' [08:08] (e.g. blah 001.txt) [08:08] needs to say 001 blah.txt [08:09] JoeMaverickSett: Thanks, but although there are other Toshiba Satellites on there, my exact one isn't. [08:09] drew212: try "apt-add-repository --remove" [08:09] ectospasm: and why is there a location pointing to http://ppa.launchpad.net? [08:10] drew212: because you put it there? [08:10] newbie_bob: even mine isn't but it works great. ;) [08:10] Frijolie: pm? [08:10] ectospasm: no, i didn't like i said, this is a fresh install of ubuntu [08:10] the only thing i changed off the default was i installed proprietary stuff [08:10] drew212: why are you trying to add the PPA?

[08:12] Could someone please tell me (Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook) how to edit the items on the left-hand icon bar? Thank you.

[08:13] drew212: yes, it shows how to manually import the key [08:13] iLLf8d: I have not bought it yet.. and I am a little hesitant to spend £700 and just hope [08:14] cvrse: didn't work [08:14] ectospasm: looking into it now [08:14] yep I dunno the state of linux on modern laptops [08:14] most of my hardware is a few years old [08:15] for laptops and netbooks with linux that's good [08:15] models too modern tend to lack drivers. and it's not like you'll use your linux laptop for 3d games, so [08:16] to be honest if you dont know what a chipset is I doubt you'll be able to determine in advance if linux will run on that particular piece of hardware w/out having a linux friend help you out or w/out getting a bunch of live linux distributions burned off for testing [08:16] Could someone please tell me (Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook) how to edit the items on the left-hand icon bar? Thank you. [08:16] an old one is good enough [08:16] hi, when I press the Win+s key shortcut it popups up the login/logout menu.... how can I disable this key binding? [08:16] and you probably dont know what live linux dists are either so I really recommend you go to a friend or a LUG meeting in your area and ask for some direction/help if you're serious about running linux [08:17] ectospasm: thanks for all the help, don't have it working yet, but i'll finish up tomorrow [08:18] intel-fortran [08:18] come on [08:18] linux is fun to run but it does require alot of work on your part to work out the kinks at times altho sometimes you can get lucky and get full support [08:18] iLLf8d: I think canonical should sell hardware. Do an apple :/ [08:18] today for some unknown reason my keyboard layout got damaged, out of nowhere [08:19] (Just on this!) [08:19] and i was unable to boot because i couldn't type the luks password [08:19] i needed the ubuntu cd to fix it [08:19] I used to be big into opensource and linux but now I run mostly windows and dual boot into linux I got sucked into mmorpgs and the likes =P [08:20] i almost never play any kind of games [08:20] used to run freebsd/obsd/debian/gentoo/ubuntu [08:20] dont start games are evil [08:20] so here linux is fine [08:20] games aren't evil [08:20] I popped into freeload to get some eclipse ide help but freenode seems dead lately [08:20] anyway, for games you should buy a console [08:21] -- how can i configure ubuntu so that it can NOT mount my other partitions? [08:21] just my two cents [08:21] I agree [08:21] but if you dont have a console you use what you have [08:21] PART Bye, guys!

I basically want to enter into cron in my remote server a few commands like 1) backup & compress my db 2) send it to my email everyday. Is that doable? [08:25] iLLf8d: thanks for the advice [08:25] mailx + ssmtp [08:25] you're welcome good luck [08:25] naftilos76: use nullmailer or simple ones like ssmtp, msmtp for that. sendmail is a monster, oversized for this job [08:26] i'llhave a look, thanks man [08:27] naftilos76: ssmtp -> http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/132006 or http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/ for some info [08:27] I know this is #ubuntu but are there any eclipse users on by any chance? seems most channels are dead at this time of night [08:27] how can i change the keyring manager password on 10.10?

[08:58] rubydiamond: I wonder if I upgrade to 10.10 if that will fix my intel driver issue. [08:59] aborticide: what you mean ?? deb package or real linux kernel ? [08:59] okay, can someone please explain to me why xorg.conf isn't possible in 10.04 and on anymore? [09:00] you can still use it [09:00] because it doesnt have a conf by default? [09:00] but you have to Xorg -configure [09:00] Gnea: 10.04 not use xorg.conf ?? i think we can manually configure it [09:00] that will write a xorg.conf type file in your home dir. [09:00] blackshirt1: yeah, just found a ubuntuforums article [09:00] hello, i have a question about gdm [09:01] the new X does auto config unless it has the xorg.conf in the /etc/X11 dir. [09:01] and the post lied [09:01] Gnea: ubuntu just automagically configure x server for you, but if it's not working, we can configure it [09:01] i am using ubuntu, recently, i installed xubuntu-desktop, now, can i login by choosing xubuntu session or ubuntu desktop edition session [09:01] there is no xorg-configure [09:01] i am using ubuntu 10.10 [09:01] blackshirt1: yeah but we're having problems doing that [09:02] it's 10.04, it should just *work* [09:02] so, now the login screen is xubuntu instead of ubuntu [09:02] why did they have to change this around? so annoying [09:02] allench: :) [09:02] haiii [09:02] Gnea: type man Xorg [09:02] you'll see the option [09:03] i would like to know, how to configure the login screen to ubuntu screen, instead of xubuntu, just want to know the way to doing so [09:03] when you type Xorg -configure it will write out a config file in your home directory or whatever directory you typed the command [09:03] but it will be called xorg.conf.new [09:03] blackshirt1: do you know what a kernel is? [09:04] allench : dpkg-reconfigure gdm may be [09:04] monday: negative [09:05] blackshirt1: i tried the command, including sudo, there is no any option for me to choose [09:05] Gnea: did you get an error? [09:05] monday: no file materialized [09:06] aborticide : yes [09:06] Gnea: maybe you can do it while Xorg is running. [09:06] I know my system creates one. [09:07] monday: it didn't create one [09:07] it doesn't put it in /etc/X11 [09:07] check in ~/ [09:07] blackshirt1: somehow i highly doubt it. [09:07] :) [09:07] monday: I did, nothing there [09:07] I don't know what is wrong [09:08] all my ubuntus create one. [09:08] oh [09:08] ? [09:08] did you sudo? [09:08] yes [09:08] that's what happend [09:09] Gnea: you got sudo Xorg -configure [09:09] hi. i spent hours downloading the alternative iso for maverick. But while installing why does it take a long time to install. I thought everything was already there in the cd...? [09:09] hi [09:09] monday: I tried it in a terminal and at console, it always complains that X is already running on display 0 [09:10] I have no Xorg running [09:10] i've a problem concerning aliases in ubuntu 10.10 [09:10] if you are not using X then you can do it.l [09:10] deostroll, did you download the alternate or the minimal install? [09:10] alternate... [09:10] deostroll, well there is a lot of stuff to install... however..did it install correctly? [09:10] Gnea: I don't know if you're using Xorg for IRC but down it then sudo Xorg -configure, and it will work. [09:11] aborticide: maybe you mean the linux kernel used by ubuntu.. [09:11] coz_, no its unable to download frm some repos... [09:11] deostroll, is your internet connection slow? [09:11] sort of. i k 35kbps download speed [09:11] Gnea: if you need to down Xorg or its hung up you can do the following: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop; sudo killall Xorg; sudo Xorg -configure [09:12] blackshirt1: no i mean, can you prove it? [09:12] Gnea: I can't run Xorg right now cause mine is crashing. I've done that command sequence about 30 times. [09:12] it should work. [09:13] deostroll, oh! ok mmm did you check the iso md5sum and then check the cd for errors? I dont remember but I would assume there is a menu that has an entry for checking file integrity [09:13] monday: okay, yeah, had to stop X first, I used: sudo service gdm stop [09:13] Gnea: nice [09:13] monday: I use irssi in screen :) [09:13] deostroll, my guess is..if it took that long to download then the iso was corrupt [09:13] Gnea: nice [09:13] deostroll, the other alterantive is to downlod and burn the minimal install cd which is only 12 megs [09:14] deostroll, this install directly downloads all of the needed packages instead of having to burn them to disk [09:14] * RavenChan how to keep speaker on while headphone plugged in? [09:14] Gnea: I just Xchat -display === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:14] until I get this intel thing fixed. [09:14] i think there is no option for me to choose because of both xubuntu and ubuntu uses same gdm [09:14] deostroll, if you want to try it this is the link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:15] coz_, hw do i check the alternate [09:15] Hi everybody! I inserted a usb-stick which was automatically mounted to /media/usbstick...how can I determine to which /dev it corresponds? (i suspect /dev/sdc) [09:15] anybody know how to keep speaker on while headphone plugged in? [09:15] deostroll, I think when that boots...do you see a keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen? [09:15] Gnea: but screen is dope! I love that app [09:16] deostroll, I mean... when the cd starts is there a keyboard image at the bottom of the screen [09:16] deostroll, or a menu? [09:16] My computer wont reboot, meaning it shuts down and turns blank, and not completely shuts down Asus K70IO any help ? [09:16] JimmyJ|zz: your name says 'jizz' in it [09:17] i don't boot it. i mount it and run the ./cdromupgrade executable file [09:17] minh: "df" in terminal [09:17] deostroll, ok download the minimal install cd and burn that I think it will work better for you [09:17] hello,to everybody! [09:17] Eventyret: every time? [09:17] hello [09:17] aborticide: you can find it in the casper directory, linux kernel and initial ramdisk used to boot up [09:18] Axlin: damn...thank you! [09:18] deostroll, one thing...you will get to a point where there is a list of things to install...use the arrow keys to scroll and the "Space" bar to tick a box...I would suggest just instlling the ubuntu-desktop [09:18] monday: yeah, thanks for your help :) [09:18] np. and adding "-h" will show it in a "human-readable" format [09:18] deostroll, it will then download and install all of the necessary packages [09:18] monday: everytime. if i use shutdown from gnome it shuts down completey, but if i use reboot, it shutsdown and never "turns off" [09:18] Gnea: Glad I could help, usually I get helped! ha haa! [09:18] deostroll, very little worry about corrupt cd [09:19] coz_, but tht would mean I hve to install all the other pckages ... [09:19] deostroll, on that link ,,,just below the download for maverick you will also see the md5sum [09:19] Eventyret: what about in textmode? [09:19] ok,i'm a chinese,my english is bad! [09:19] wooo! you go ubuntu! keep failing to boot a live disk on my PC [09:19] monday: i belive it is the same, one moment i will check [09:19] deostroll, "all the other packages" ?? [09:19] lizhaogui, #ubuntu-cn for Chinese [09:19] hmm [09:20] deostroll, I am not sure what you mean! [09:20] Eventyret: I wonder if something is hanging up. Did you wait like 10 minutes? [09:20] I'm thinking I'll tftp an install and see if I can bypass all that disk detection nonsense. [09:20] but i'm so excite [09:21] lizhaogui, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic not here; here is support only [09:21] coz_, apache, lots of python packages, etc. things that I've installed in my current lucid [09:21] YeTr2, try the alternate cd [09:21] aborticide: you can find it in the casper directory, linux kernel and initial ramdisk used to boot up [09:21] you said that already, is there anything new you'd like to contribute? [09:22] bazhang: I'm thinking that won't help in the least, unless the alt cd has a different kernel. [09:22] Eventyret: did it restart? [09:22] there is a problem in my computer,i can't instanll ecllipse. [09:22] monday: its the same there, noticed the only lamps that are "on" is num lock, wirless and that its ON [09:23] monday: so no it did not restart [09:23] did you use sudo shutdown -r now? [09:23] deostroll, oh you are upgrading? [09:23] hmm [09:23] monday: no i didnt. [09:23] Eventyret: without the ? [09:24] want me to try that [09:24] hey all [09:24] Eventyret: command goes like this "sudo shutdown -r now" [09:24] no,i use ailurus to instanll [09:24] aborticide : hey, what you mean ?? [09:24] Eventyret: no quotes [09:24] deostroll, if you are upgrading open a terminal sudo update-manager -d [09:24] monday: one min il test [09:24] Eventyret: to get into text mode you have to kill gdm [09:24] Eventyret: or /etc/init.d/gdm stop [09:25] Eventyret: then maybe you can see where it is hanging. [09:25] does anyone know how to kill the splash screen on ubuntu on shutdown? Is it hold the shift key down? [09:25] does anyone know the solution to execute .exe files with wine on mounted partitions in 10.10? [09:25] sudo update-manager -d? it return no this command [09:26] I think its just wine file.exe [09:26] RedLateX: wine filename [09:26] that should do it. [09:26] it's turned off normally now in 10.10 [09:27] coz_: The -d switch to update-manager (and do-release-upgrade) is for upgrading to development releases. Please don't tell people to use it to upgrade to stable releases; offer the !upgrade factoid instead. [09:27] lizhaogui, what about sudo do-release-upgrade [09:27] right click > properties > permissions > allow executing file as a program [09:27] rww, got it [09:27] RedLateX: maybe not. I have 10.04 [09:27] when i try to check it [09:27] thanks :) [09:27] sorry. [09:27] it unchecks itself [09:28] on ntfs (mounted) partitions [09:28] Hey, I've got a situation where "sudo which X" finds the command, but "sudo X" tells me the command isn't found. What could be causing this? [09:28] deostroll, do sudo do-release-upgrade in terminal [09:28] monday: no im sorry its the same. [09:28] Oh. [09:28] I've got to upgrade [09:29] !upgrade [09:29] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [09:29] !upgrade | deostroll [09:29] deostroll: please see above [09:29] is ubottu a bot? [09:29] monday: yes [09:29] ha haa! [09:29] ywa [09:29] that's awesome [09:29] Eventyret: just a black screen as it would when it shuts down then it just stays there, and you have to shut it off with the button pressed [09:29] yes [09:29] rww, althouigh either of those commands are not going to show natty at this point [09:29] i've done tht. it shows no new release found [09:30] Eventyret: maybe turn off the splash screen. [09:30] upgrade | deostroll [09:30] Eventyret: I don't know how to do that. [09:30] coz_: Correct, but they will soon, and offering the correct command avoids people passing on wrong information when they do. [09:30] !upgrade | deostroll [09:30] rww, understood [09:30] Eventyret: I wonder if that is causing your hang up. [09:30] Mouse cursor bounces,flashes, jitters. Anyways to make it stop. [09:31] Eventyret: usually that splash screen pops up on a shutdown. [09:31] deostroll: You need to set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades, as the UpgradeNotes page indicates. [09:31] monday: well it has no "GFX" it just turns down to 640x480 but i sorted it :P it works now [09:31] deostroll, ok go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [09:31] monday: wierd because it works if i just do a shutdown [09:31] deostroll, or more directly here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades [09:31] Eventyret: that is so strange. I've never ran into that. usually I run into startup issues with a black screen. [09:32] Are there any Chinese? [09:32] mei o.. [09:32] !cn | lizhaogui [09:32] lizhaogui: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:32] monday: i tested the acpi as well :p no diffrence [09:33] Eventyret: I'm clueless at this point. I'm thinking about it, does it just go black and not scroll any text, and hang there? [09:34] monday: it goes black like your computer is off [09:34] Can no one offer a solution for fixing a screwed up mouse pointer? O_o [09:34] blackshirt1: i mean, repeating oneself is wasteful [09:34] monday: like when you havnt turned it on. - execpt all the lights on the keyboard is on like num pad wirless and so on [09:34] Eventyret: wait I've had that happen before. [09:34] lizhaogui, yes, I told you in #ubuntu-cn [09:34] Eventyret: with my older laptop. [09:34] OK.. :) [09:34] Eventyret: fedora core though. === ubuntu_ is now known as jfiefj3 [09:35] monday: wierd thing it works on 8.10 ubuntu or 8.4 [09:35] Eventyret: so that means no disc errors. [09:35] when is gnome getting a facelift? [09:35] monday: yeah shutdown works i suspect the wirless card [09:35] Eventyret: probably no disc issues. [09:35] monday: can i get a PRINT a log or something when it does a shutdown ? [09:36] christ the installer is slow on this machine. [09:36] Eventyret: let me see.

[09:55] monday: think i found a solution its just that grub is arsy when you do sudo update-grub it just says 1:ub2# not found [09:55] ectospasm, the machine is a new one, the vesa driver works (but 800x600 is not funny) and the previously installed windows worked too [09:55] monday: might be because i got burg [09:56] i have installed ubuntu 10.10,but mouse clicking does not work well.Sometimes single click creates problem. [09:56] Any idea anyone? [09:57] Kaini: that doesn't rule out bad hardware [09:57] monday: testing now [09:57] exit [09:58] ectospasm, how to do so?

[10:05] hello [10:06] I am trying to run a jar file in boot up of ubuntu 8.04 [10:07] can anybody help me to do that [10:07] Everntyret: [10:08] sunit: java whatever.jar [10:08] dragoneye: you can't debug microphones, once they're broken, they're broken [10:08] what does 70% memory in use as cache [10:08] roark: that wasn't a logical statement [10:09] aborticide: not the mic, but actually the mixer, the alsa/pulse and what not [10:09] sry [10:09] what does 70% memory in use as cache mean? [10:09] dragoneye: also has a debug utility [10:09] salut [10:09] anybody know what reduces my bandwidth [10:09] ? [10:09] hello. i have reported bug - no reaction. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/666185 . i hope somebody have rad it through email. can you see it? ubuntu does not have enough people to check bugs? [10:09] aborticide: what does 70% memory in use as cache mean? [10:09] zteam: less downloads [10:09] k [10:09] roark: what part of that don't you understand? [10:09] dragoneye: it produces a paste that you can pass to the people at #alsa [10:09] roark: it means that the kernel is caching things like frequently used files in memory [10:09] aborticide : I am trying to run in boot time [10:10] aborticide: no, I know it's something with my Ubuntu installation [10:10] sunit: you want to run a java file during the init? [10:10] zteam: [10:10] zteam: comcast does [10:10] ectospasm: even when no program is using them [10:10] aborticide: k, ill look into it, tnx [10:10] ectospasm: even when no program is using them (temp files) [10:10] zteam: you on comcast? [10:10] zteam: don't try debugging ubuntu, just reinstall it is faster [10:10] yes [10:10] aborticide, not helpful [10:10] zteam: apt-get remove alsa, then clean, then reinstall [10:10] alsa stuff [10:10] roark: yes, even when no program is using them. THe kernel will page stuff out of RAM when it needs it for actual program data [10:10] aborticide, reinstall is the last option not the first [10:11] zteam: comcast reduces bandwidth after 15 min of 75% utilization. [10:11] bazhang: reinstalling alsa is quick and painless [10:11] monday: and what is comcast? [10:11] zteam: under certain plans. [10:11] roark: having 100% RAM usage with mostly cache actually means your system will be more responsive [10:11] bazhang: debugging alsa is a huge mess, you don't even know how to do it yourself [10:11] zteam: good you're not on it. [10:11] ectospasm: thank you [10:11] zteam: comcast is an ISP [10:11] ectospasm: not necessarily [10:11] ectospasm: i was only thinking about expensive paging operations [10:11] aborticide: in general, that's true [10:12] aborticide : what shall I do ? [10:12] ectospasm: in general i can say linux is a piece of software, but that doesn't really describe it at all [10:12] hello [10:12] aborticide: but my generalization wasn't that basic, now was it? [10:12] sunit: have to find out what the ubuntu init system is, and then add a script to it [10:12] !ot | aborticide [10:12] aborticide: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [10:12] monday: Okey, but this is not related to my ISP, it's related to my Ubuntu-installation, I tested booted up the system from a live USB, and it worked perfectle there [10:12] Hello everyone! [10:13] ectospasm: if kernel wasnt caching paging doesnt have to happen and it would be faster to load something into memory? [10:13] ectospasm: quit abusing the bot feature, one line was hardly OT and you attacked me with 5 lines of text [10:13] do you not understand analogies or something? [10:13] shall I add the script in init.d , aborticide ? [10:13] aborticide, lets move on please [10:13] roark: no, because it has to read it from disk [10:13] zteam: I use wireshark for stuff like that. [10:13] Hello everyone :) , i used sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda so i could fix my mbr for windows 7 but instead of fixing it i messed it up more... now i can't even see the c drive... can n e 1 tell me how to fix this? [10:13] sunit: i'm nto exactly sure, does ubuntu use RC? [10:13] ectospasm: but at the same time it is writing to disk also? [10:13] zteam: or tshark. [10:13] roark: only if you're using swap [10:14] ectospasm: oh === marcel01_ is now known as marcel01 [10:14] aborticide: Maybe, yes, but I'm tired of if.... Everytime I upgrade Ubuntu I just get alot of new bugs [10:14] 用BT的举个手哦^_^ [10:14] froncy: fanscinating, please tell us more [10:14] !cn | froncy [10:14] froncy: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [10:14] aborticide, stop that [10:14] zteam: are you sure its a bandwidth issue? [10:14] !jp | froncy [10:14] froncy: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [10:14] someone know where alsamixer's logs are ? [10:14] zteam: I had issues with dns that caused slowdowns. [10:15] zteam: alsa insn't very big; compared to say a source based distro. you can't really predict errors, unless you look at the quality of the distro as a hole [10:15] qui parle francais ? [10:15] OK,I will.Thank you! [10:15] !fr | sebastien_ [10:15] sebastien_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[10:16] sunit: what's the RC system called? openRC ? [10:16] moi aussi [10:16] monday: Yeah I googled and found that bug to, already tried disabled ipv6 but it doesn't work [10:16] sunit: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28 [10:16] Hello everyone :) , i used sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda so i could fix my mbr for windows 7 but instead of fixing it i messed it up more... now i can't even see the c drive... can n e 1 tell me how to fix this? [10:16] zteam: I found my dns issues using tshark. [10:16] zteam: that was killing my performance to the net [10:16] or could someone at least tell me who to ask and point me in the rite direction? [10:17] ectospasm: this is an english channel [10:17] I'm searching for alsamixer logs someone could help me? [10:17] aborticide, thanks [10:17] aborticide: yes, and someone has already told sebastien that. Tit for tat, are we? [10:17] monday: Okey... can that eat half your bandwidth? [10:17] where it is ? [10:17] zteam: not really reduce it just delay traffic. [10:18] aborticide, there is rc.local file in /etc/init.d [10:19] can I do anything with this file ? [10:19] zteam: things that reduce bandwith are data point to point, slow processing (feels like bandwith), someone on your net, router/modem can't handle transfer rate. [10:19] monday: Well according to a webpage which I know should work my Ubuntu-installation can get 50-60 Mbit out of my 100 Mbit connection [10:20] zteam: what are you getting now? [10:20] monday: and it works perfectly if boot up the same computer with a usb-stick containing Ubuntu 10.04 [10:21] hi. I've ubuntu 10.04.1 installed with wine version 1.2, how do I update wine to 1.3? [10:22] zteam: what is your current bandwidth utilization? [10:22] monday: download: 68 Mbit/s upload 13 Mbit/s and that's from a 100/10 Mbit service [10:24] zteam: only thing I use to find out stuff like that is netstat, tshark, or wireshark and see what is talking. [10:24] zteam: maybe nothing is talking and its some hardware issue or driver issue. [10:25] ztem: dmesg show any errors? [10:26] monday: if It were a hadware issue, then it shouldn't work from the live-usb either, but well a driver issue is'nt impossible [10:26] [AutoGreetz] HellCome !!! [10:27] monday: But which is the most easy way to tell what's eating my bandwidth? [10:27] zteam, top in the terminal [10:28] bazhang: does that show bandwidth info too? [10:28] cool [10:28] !find iotop [10:28] Found: iotop [10:29] !info iotop [10:29] iotop (source: iotop): simple top-like I/O monitor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-2 (maverick), package size 25 kB, installed size 164 kB [10:31] anyone knows a quick way to hear my mic througt the speakers with no lag? [10:32] zteam: nmon tool is ok as well. [10:32] monday: okey, I try that [10:33] zteam: I would use that with iotop [10:33] zteam: bandwidth issues are difficult to figure out. [10:34] hello [10:34] zteam: tshark and wireshark are difficult to explain how to use. wireshark has a nice breakdown in the stats to show what kind of traffic is highest.

[11:03] now to reburn my ubuntu disk [11:03] kapu: i believed that.. but in my subjective opinion, i would recommend linux or freebsd..i have try out openbsd box [11:03] hi [11:03] alexb92, rather do a clean install [11:03] Why can't ubuntu coby files larger than 500MB to a USB stick (the USB is 8GB or 16GB)? [11:03] it alwasy get stuck att 500MB [11:04] I hope this firmware upgrade makes my SSD behave less like charles manson. [11:04] vigge_sWe, because of the filesystem of the USB [11:04] alexb92: just using 10.10 repository on your sources.list ??? [11:04] vigge_sWe, I don think any OS can copy so big a file to a fat32 system because it is a limitation of fat32, although I thought the limit was 1gig [11:04] blackshirt: i like your use of the word subjective. it tells me you will be able to appreciate the nuances between these nix flavors. ty again for your input. === NG_ is now known as ng_ [11:04] the limit is 4GB [11:04] not 500MB [11:04] vigge_sWe, Check the filesystem type. [11:04] there are no limits [11:05] never ;) [11:05] it says msdos [11:05] alexb92, save all the packages for all your current programs to a CD, download Ubuntu 10.10, do clean intsall, install your apps from your CD and voila! :) [11:05] but I formatted it with ubuntu [11:05] guys how can i use an on x86 xt hdd on ubuntu? [11:05] which hw/sw supports this? [11:05] blackshirt: yeah just with using the update manager and clicking the upgrade link [11:05] damn... I should have taken care of my other drive before I reformatted the dvd-rm [11:05] teratorn: thank you. it worked!! [11:05] vigge_sWe, what if you make it ntfs? [11:05] silver__> guys how can i use an old x86 xt hdd on ubuntu? [11:05] sinisterstuf: how do i do that? haha ive already downloaded the alternate install cd, so i might give that a try maybe? [11:06] alexb92, there is an easy way and a fun way [11:06] alexb92, the easy way is to install AptOnCD [11:06] sinisterstuf: hahahaha fun as in challenging? [11:07] kapu: its just based on my experience.. i have dual boot system, debian linux and freebsd.. so, i can figure it out flavour of different system [11:07] me too blackshirt [11:07] alexb92, the fun way is to actually do it yourself, copy the files to a CD/usb do dpkg-scanpackages and so on, and add that directory to your sources list in the new OS [11:07] but with vm's too [11:07] so you can use any OS on any PC etc [11:07] sinisterstuf: but can a xbox 360 read it too then? [11:07] or console [11:07] xbox360 and wii are working atm [11:08] ps3 i dunno they removed linux:( [11:08] fsck sony! :) [11:08] any good emulators out there for gaming consoles? [11:08] alexb92: i dont like update-manager too much.. preferly use apt-get or aptitude [11:08] vigge_sWe, apparently not [11:08] sinisterstuf: haha nah stuff that way hahaha, cant be bothered, i actually dont even mind waiting till 11.04 to come out [11:09] Now it goes to 702.1MB of 704MB and is stuck there [11:09] lol [11:09] :) [11:09] sinisterstuf: yeah i sometimes use apt-get, if i just want it done quick and fast, then update-manager is what i generally use [11:09] compaq netbook i love it [11:09] mini ones are so nice [11:09] alexb92, thatś a long time. upgrading to 10.10 broke my computer, so I did a clean install and works fine [11:10] eh, I'll copy it to my windows partition and use teracopy instead, this is going nowhere and I have to catch the train in 30 mins lol [11:11] silver__, has been hitting the bottle tonight eh. Its the weekend, work hard, play hard right, right, [11:11] vigge_sWe, maybe thereś something wrong witht the file? [11:11] blackshirt: k gnight people ty [11:11] right compaq :) [11:11] alexb92, local repositories are also cool when you have lots of Ubuntu machines and they need updating, then you only need to download it for 1 computer and the others can download it from that one [11:11] 2-3 beers is enough haha [11:11] iam new to ubuntu 10.04 , i just now intalled it, while installing from software center its not able to connect internet becouse I have to set internet proxy and username and passwd for accessing internet..can any one help me out to set internet proxy with username and password for software center....? plz help me am new to linux [11:12] guys how can i use private bgp with ubuntu?

[11:14] hcu, if you select manual proxy configuration and enter them there and the click ¨apply system wide¨ when youŕe done, software centre should work gine [11:15] WXZ, maybe you need to wait for it to reload all the packages first? [11:15] bah [11:15] sinisterstuff ya i set it ... i have to check it now [11:15] no, I've left it for long amounts of time [11:15] the graphical boot menu still fails on my machine [11:15] Does Ubuntu Me Menu really show a photo and name of the user? It doesn't work in my case. [11:15] sivakumar, what specifically do you want to do? [11:16] I have indicator-me applet installed and details enterned [11:16] * entered [11:16] rocket16, me neither, strange, because it showed yesterday [11:17] sinisterstuf :i have lost all the menu items of applications from my panel [11:17] sinisterstuf: I see. I believe there might be some problem related to the indicator-me package. :( I never got it working in 10.10 [11:17] rocket16, maybe itś an update that removed it [11:17] sinisterstuf: yes, a heck of alot over 20,000 packages from memory [11:17] sinisterstuf but it still giving error Failed to download repository information due to inter net connection [11:17] rocket16, I didnt actually check it, it could be the last time I saw it was in 10.04 [11:17] damn... really fails hard [11:18] sinisterstuf: currently i have a dual boot config with windows 7 and xp home, i did try the netbook remix but i didnt really like it [11:18] sinisterstuf: Me as well. :( === ng_ is now known as NG_ [11:18] what can ubuntu do that windows can't? [11:19] just wondering since im on dual boot with ubuntu/xp etc [11:19] alexb92, if youŕe using winXP or > then I think Xubuntu should really work much faster on your computer than windows, I think ubuntu netbook remix is possibly too oversimplified [11:19] silver__, a lot, I sure you will discover as you use it [11:19] sivakumar, is the panel still there? [11:20] please is there any one tell me way that how can i add menu items of applications to my panel of ubuntu 9.10 [11:20] sinisterstuf, thnx man [11:20] alexb92, if you have that many packages I recommend doing a clean install and reinstalling the porgrams because a direct upgrade with so many untested packages is not gfuarunteed to work [11:20] sin [11:20] is it possible to do HAM stuff with linux/ubuntu? pls === NG_ is now known as ng_ [11:21] sivakumar, do you still have a panel? [11:21] older guy at work needs it [11:21] sivakumar, then you can right-click on the panel and click ¨add to panel¨ [11:21] sivakumar, all your panel applets can be added from there [11:21] sinisterstuf:yes i have the panel [11:22] sinisterstuf:but it showing me to add single single item only..but how can add all these at once [11:22] sivakumar, just add them one by one [11:22] sivakumar, did you delete EVERYTHING?? [11:23] sinisterstuf;yes [11:23] sivakumar: Restore your panels, in the case you deleted them. [11:23] !resetpanels | sivakumar [11:23] sivakumar: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [11:23] sinisterstuf: hmm fair enough, thanks for all the help mate :) [11:23] rocket16, thanks for that! :) [11:24] sinisterstuf: No problem. You're welcome. :) [11:24] alexb92, youŕe welcome, if you need help with your packages I still here [11:24] if i want to send commands from another computer, but only a select few, what would be the best way ? ssh and a user with limited permissions ?

[11:37] nilsma: no, just a program written in the python programming language === swoody_ is now known as swoody [11:38] Hi everyone. CONGRATULATIONS Ubuntu developers, Ubuntu community and all Ubuntu contributors. I thought it might be another couple of years before I could start deploying Linux solutions to my clients on the desktop but 10.10 looks like it will deliver the goods. [11:38] hcu, it is there, when you select Manual Proxy Configuration and enter the address and port number, after that there is a button that says ¨Details¨ click there, and enter username and password [11:38] Of course the acid test is going to be support. I _am_ a Mac, Windows, Linux support person (many years) but I don't have time to trouble-shoot every small problem; So … [11:38] Goods: You should try it out, 'cause i've got the same feeling as you about dragable windows and other needless stuff. So one of my friends said to me, dude install Awesome and i did and i'm very glad (: [11:38] ilovefairuz: oki, but why would it be connecting to an external ip? would you assume it is part of different program? [11:38] i want to unmount permanently my drive..can any one help me [11:38] … first deployment is on Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop. Installation OK. First boot OK. Updates installation OK. However, installed (recommended, restricted) nvidia graphics driver and now 'no video signal at login screen'. Video signal _is_ present during boot sequence. Help please. (I don't mind if we just circumvent the problem driver during boot). Thanking you all in advance. [11:39] jonnix: I would consider seriously if 10.10 is a deployed to busineses due to the small support (non LTS) window it has [11:39] nilsma: perhaps. in a terminal, what's the output of: ps aux | grep python [11:39] not to business [11:39] Unix (Macs) to business clients [11:39] sniperjo, remove him from groups that have privelages to do things, and use chown to set the ownership of everything you dont want him to see, and chown the folder for him, to him, sorry that came out complicated, does it make sense? [11:39] TuGa: The standard solution for that is to set GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub then use "grub-reboot ". That will make it so that the default entry will be changed for the next boot only, so after booting into windows once the next boot will be Ubuntu again. [11:39] ilovefairuz: mintupdate and ubuntuone-syncdaemon :P [11:40] join #ubuntu-developers [11:40] bah [11:40] Can anyone help me in a Xenomai application running on embedded debian dist with xenomai patch support???????????????

[11:41] bah... looks like the installer is unable to handle my SSD/Chipset === WXZ is now known as notWXZ [11:42] Jordan_U, so i have to came back to ubuntu one time to choose windows for the next reboot, and wen in windows wend i reboot again by default ubuntu will be the default?

I was installing ubuntu 10.10 on my sister's netbook but during the installation, the installer crashed! it was downloading additional packages (codecs i think)! The thing is, when i restarted the pc, grub was there!!! and now it works! THE installer crashed, what... ?! Im dont know what to do! It's running now, apt had a catalogue issue/broken-packages and i fixed them, But, it this okay or should i reinstall it??

Ardour & Muse? [11:43] k1ngclay [11:44] Is Nautilus-Elementary faster than Nautilus? [11:44] can we get packages for those sinisterstuf ? [11:44] sinisterstuf: Ardour was difficult for me to understand last time I tried it, I'll look at it again. [11:44] just to go sure: i mean the arrows on the folder icon..basically disabling this feature, silver__ [11:44] Never heard of Muse before. [11:44] sini:it showing like this ......umount: os: not found [11:44] AnxiousNut: I would personally re-install, and if it crashes at the same place again use the alternate install CD. That said, your installation is probably fine, you just can't know for sure :) [11:45] !tab | sivakumar [11:45] sivakumar: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [11:45] Jordan_U, this command i need to type it on the bash shell wend on normal user session of ubuntu? [11:45] Ardour Muse bgp [11:45] how is this feature called anyway so i can google for it?

[11:46] Heyy so if one disk in a simple LVM breaks, can I still access half of my data? [11:46] printf_1, ardour will be easy to work with if youŕe familiar with the Windows program called Pro Tools [11:46] you can access everything redbeans [11:46] but you need to haxx the partitiontable etc [11:46] its kinda nasty lol [11:46] redsandro: No, at least not easily.

[11:48] redsandro: Using photorec to basically grep through the drive recovering files. [11:48] whats the let me google you url thingy again? [11:48] adfasdfsda, what are you trying to do? [11:48] sinisterstuf, dist-upgrade gave me tons of packages! [11:48] disable it :D [11:48] silver__: Don't use that URL here. [11:48] it's annoying if i move files in folder and it show the content! [11:48] ok Jordan_U [11:48] .. yeah... so, I think that ubuntu is not wanting to operate on this PC at all... [11:49] YeTr2, try livecd? [11:49] silver__: after a while, live cd will boot... [11:49] it's when I try to perform a read action from the disk [11:49] Jordan_U: Indeed not easily. So I'd better NOT LVM my old hard disks together because one is prone to fail soon and I would lose all data in stead of just the data on the crappy drive. [11:49] AnxiousNut, yeah, I think those are probably updates for every single program you have installed as well as the core [11:49] , sinisterstuf [11:49] adfasdfsda, yep? [11:49] the disk being the internal SSD [11:49] YeTr2: the problem with your flashdisk ?? [11:49] SSD aka solid state drive ?? [11:50] redsandro: Correct. [11:50] blackshirt: not as far as I can tell, Windows is able to read and abuse it just fine. [11:50] I can write to the silly thing all day long as well [11:50] adfasdfsda, what are you trying to do? disable it :D it's annoying if i move files in folder and it show the content! [11:50] I have ported xenomai 2.5.3 to the kernel 2.6.26 on an embedded debian dist. , I have already built it before. then i compiled the xenomai package, and every thing is great, xeno-test runs very well. but when I have downloaded the xenomai examples from the git repository and compiled them, most of these examples give an error while running [11:50] sinisterstuf, ... aptitude does not exist on this installation! Did they remove it from 10.10? [11:50] but as soon as I try a ready, dmesg gets filled with vomit [11:50] works now [11:51] AnxiousNut: it's jnot installed by default [11:51] YeTr2: Can you pastebin the output of dmesg? [11:51] AnxiousNut, don know, I never used it, unless itś exactly the same as apt-get [11:51] YeTr2, in my case, it's different! Crashed installation! [11:51] AnxiousNut, sudo apt-get install [11:51] AnxiousNut: Aptitude is no longer installed by default. [11:51] Jordan_U, thank you! [11:51] adfasdfsda, what you mean the content? [11:51] Jordan_U: not likely. [11:52] Jordan_U: Know of any alternative to LVM that loses just the data actually on the failing disk, and keeps on going with the happy hardware?

[11:52] sinisterstuf, i mean it shows what's in the folder [11:52] redsandro, let me think.. um you can look at zfs [11:52] or any other fs [11:52] redsandro: No. [11:52] kernel module zfs ?

I guess I'll get to typing [11:53] nautilus does that [11:53] mc did it [11:53] silver__: Oracle trademarked, that troubles me :P but Ill look into it, thanks [11:53] adfasdfsda, have you tried holding control and scrolling while over the folder, it will change the size of the icons, when theyŕe small enough it doesn show the contents anympre? [11:53] silver__: Who are you taking to with "private bgp session oracle sun" ? [11:53] redsandro, dont worry id say ;) [11:54] Oracle is good [11:54] silver__, no...

[11:54] sivakumar, uum... let me think [11:55] Jordan_U: Too bad, so you might as well stripe your LVM for speed gain in stead of keep it separate, the array goes down with one bad disk\ either way. [11:55] sivakumar, ubuntu can do it for sure [11:55] adfasdfsda, I dont get you [11:55] sivakumar, complicated hdd setup in install [11:55] not that hard rly [11:55] silver__: You said that to me?

[11:56] redsandro: With striping file recovery is much more difficult, usually impossible with any file larger than the stripe size. [11:56] Hi, i reproduced the following case on 3 machines (GeForce GTX 240, GeForce 8600 M GT, GeForce 8400 GS) and all had the same problem.

[11:57] silver;yes when i am trying to open that drive it is asking for a password can we remove that asking password.and opens when clicked directly [11:57] I have ported xenomai 2.5.3 to the kernel 2.6.26 on an embedded debian dist. , I have already built it before. then i compiled the xenomai package, and every thing is great, xeno-test runs very well. but when I have downloaded the xenomai examples from the git repository and compiled them, most of these examples give an error while running [11:57] shatrix: i think you might hack it :) [11:57] sinisterstuf, i just wan't to disable nautilus's feature to display open tree view if i click on the arrow icon very near the folder (let it be accidentally so i don't want the content displayed in tree view) [11:57] wan't= want* [11:57] So can anyone please tell if any File manager in Ubuntu supports File creation times?

I've just used the command `rsync -a ./* /backup/`. It's mainly worked exactly as desired, but hasn't copied hidden files [12:06] silver__, muse; sudo apt-get install muse [12:06] I've tried adding them as a specific include option, still not copied [12:06] I thought rsync copied hidden files by default though? [12:06] Jordan_U: Aah, there goes my plan to use my smaller old drives to create one big heap for media files. Well thanks for the help! [12:06] silver__, printf_1 muse is a midi editor which can use soft synths, and can be routed through JACK to ardour, ardour is a Linux DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) [12:07] redsandro: You're welcome. [12:07] sweet [12:07] silver__, printf_1 also google for a list of LADSPA and LV2 plugins that can be added to ardour for cool effects [12:08] redsandro, as far as I know photorec can recover almost any files, what is it youŕe trying to do? [12:09] Hi. I need to add/remove a source from sources.list with a script. Is there a utility that does that? [12:10] sinisterstuf: I thought I'd create one big volume out of my old small annoying disks, for my media center. It's okay if one disk dies and I lose the contents on that disk. But if I lose the entire volume, and PhotoRec leaves me with a thousand nameless files, it's too much risk/trouble. [12:10] teolicy, it´s not difficult to write one yourself, what exactly do you need it to do? [12:10] redsandro, are your disks likely to fail? [12:11] badger :) [12:11] sinisterstuf: Well at least they are prone to fail. Two are okay and two have a nice collection of reallocated sectors [12:12] Given a deb, uri, distribution and components, (1) tell if this combination is in my sources.list (2) add this combination, without otherwise harming the file's structure, (3) remove this combination, without otherwise harming the file's structure, (4) support wildcards.

[12:12] bg badger [12:12] silver__: ZFS can go up to 16 ExaBytes, exactly what I need ;) But it's a bit too complicated for me, I wasted an arm and a leg already on LVM. [12:12] apt-get install zfs-fuse i think [12:13] sinisterstuf: This isn't a lot to accomplish, but since I'm already elbow deep in someone else's code who just did more or less the equivalent of echo ... >> /etc/apt/sources.list, I prefer keeping his code for now unless there's something standard which comes with debian. [12:13] not that hard really and really nice fs [12:13] i like xfs myself [12:13] or ext4 but i think the author died or smth lol [12:13] died? [12:13] or was that reiser [12:13] Vamp898: it's true /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist. ref. Solution 3 here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [12:13] i dunno [12:13] and sir reiser is in jail [12:14] well he should get out imo [12:14] I want to generate a lot of CPU load to test my laptop cooler, my laptop has been shutting off due to heat over extended periods.

[12:15] he killed his wife yes [12:15] really? :/ [12:15] sinisterstuf: Yes, well, when I was asking if someone already did a sources.list manager with a decent API, I was thinking about more then grep. [12:15] i cannot believe that tbh [12:15] teolicy, you cann append a string to a file (add it to the end without damaging the file structure) using the >> redirectore eg: echo ¨I like to eat dogs¨ >> /etc/apt/sources.list [12:15] hey everyone, i cant connect wireless [12:15] another q if i may, how does private mediawiki work? [12:15] i know it's located inside /dev but is it in /dev/disk or? [12:15] teolicy, that will add I like to eat dogs as a new line at the last line of the sources list [12:15] redsandro: Who? [12:15] i have mirrored part of a wiki [12:15] why has ubuntu changed the connection program [12:15] sinisterstuf: Suppose I have deb http://teolicy.com karmic main contrib, but I grepped for deb http://teolicy.om karmic contrib main? [12:16] if the glove doesn't fit, you MUST acquit [12:16] They don't need Reiser, right? [12:16] Already working on Reiser4 [12:16] sinisterstuf: a shell script's expressiveness is about an order of a magnitude below what I meant. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

I want to test my laptop heat problem [12:16] teolicy, google for information on how to use Sed and Regular Expressions, itś really cool [12:16] Windows [12:16] you can bash forkbomb Kardos_ [12:16] Karen_m, i mean [12:17] teolicy, regular expressions will probably allow you to use wildcards too [12:17] telecity leaseweb online.nl bgp [12:17] private peer [12:17] p4b [12:17] rocket16: Reiser did [12:17] teolicy, I will do it for you if I get time to day, g2g now, bye [12:17] redsandro: Oh, I see.

[13:04] sjamaan yep there are you can find them on google [13:04] sinisterstuf, yhea thn x i already know that but the only OS is UBuntu for me [13:04] It's a hub. [13:04] does anyone can help me with kaffeine? [13:05] stnick5: check the ip's of the machines. see if they can ping each other. also check the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' commands to scan for shares. [13:05] I have an ethernet port in my room, but only one. So I bought a hub so I could connect both laptops to the internet at the same time. [13:05] albert-geert: I struck a lot of broken links. Do you know a good up-to-date, working instructions? [13:05] commodoor, you can still make the bootup look cool :) === newbie is now known as SpaceTraveler [13:05] stnick5: I think you really need a router to do shareing like that..

[13:05] sinisterstuf, you'r right there hahaha [13:05] I found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/Netboot on the wiki but the page is empty [13:05] stnick5: but it may depend on how the stuff is wired up. [13:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot [13:06] albert-geert: Thank you [13:06] no problem [13:06] i m sure the file is correct [13:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/414906/ [13:06] but i got this error [13:06] stnick5: for example from my Cable Modem.

I am sure I read an article recently that described how to set up apt-cacher or something similar in such a way that, if I took my laptop elsewhere, updates will still work, automatically bypassing the cacher because it is absent. Does anyone know of some setup like that? [13:11] You don't have to do an actual net boot [13:11] Follow the link I just pasted [13:11] There's a specific net install CD image [13:13] If i want to install the full unity package just like the one in ubuntu netbook edition, should i be installing unity or ubuntu-netbook?

[13:16] Deihmos, try the default install instead of the netbook, somehow it requires a quite strong vid card [13:17] have you updated al drivers?

I cant think of what might be wrong. [14:00] nerdy_kid: What have you got set as pasv_address now? [14:01] MrsB my external IP -- 71.174.117.120 [14:01] can anyone help me out with a modem setting?

After new start, there is no graphical login [14:33] and I'm running out of ideas [14:33] and at the limit of my Linux skills (i'm still not very good at it :-( [14:33] fazl try /etc/init.d/gdm start [14:33] clover, what problem would that be for? [14:33] are you using any hardware drivers? [14:34] My problem is strange. Sometimes the CDs burn, most of the times they dont [14:34] it could be that the hardware driver for your video card is not compatible [14:34] and not I am getting an error saying that it cannot read the buffer (CDRecord) [14:34] fazl how do you burn your CDs [14:34] I'm using Gnomebake right now [14:34] but i've tried using K3B [14:34] Hi,all [14:34] and CD DVD burn [14:34] throw away Gnomebake use Brasero [14:34] and Brasero [14:35] I've used Brasero also [14:35] they all screw up [14:35] I was using K3B andgot some luck wiht them [14:35] with* [14:35] I think its the speed of your burning, why not create iso fist and then burn iso to cd [14:35] I'm running the speed at 4X [14:35] thats the lowest I can go [14:35] what error do you see [14:35] anyone know why this captures a black image? streamer -c /dev/video0 -b 32 -o /home/jimi/Desktop/snapshot.jpeg ? if i switch to 16b it captures a partially green and black image from my webcam [14:36] i can copy and paste sections of the reports [14:36] but i think it would be too big for a Chat [14:36] what is the main error? [14:36] can you do a one on one chat and I can send you a copy of the gnome bake, or K3B or the other failures [14:36] fazl use pastebin or http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [14:37] nerdy, what is pastebin? [14:37] hello [14:37] THANKS A LOT FREAKY NERDS [14:37] ubuntu wont shut down [14:37] it hangs when trying to unmount the local file system [14:37] however restarting is no problem [14:37] liminal, there's always the power switch [14:38] i think this is the main problem [14:38] Driver flags : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE [14:38] Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R16 RAW/R96P RAW/R96R [14:38] Drive buf size : 1644048 = 1605 KB [14:38] FIFO size : 4194304 = 4096 KB [14:38] cdrecord: Warning: Cannot read drive buffer.

[14:38] hello, does anyone here know how to rsync adjust the date/time of files over 2 platforms (sizes are the same) [14:38] ciao [14:39] !list [14:39] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » === bsod1 is now known as bsod1_ [14:40] also when i start up my computer it says Loading Operating system [14:40] and then boot from CD/DVD [14:40] does anyone know how I might change the refresh rate of my display? In the Monitors dialog there's only one option [14:40] why am i getting this? [14:41] liminal: is there a cd in the cd drive? [14:42] aeon-ltd not unless im a complete moron.. no [14:42] hang on .. let me check.. [14:42] liminal: is this before grub shows? [14:42] yes [14:42] I posted my problem on the post bin paste.ubuntu.com/522706/ [14:42] im also having problems shutting down [14:43] liminal: go into your bios and disable cd/dvd boot or change the boot order [14:43] it hangs at the unmounting local file system stage [14:43] liminal: no idea on your 2nd problem, sorry [14:43] i dont' want to disable cd booting. [14:43] its useful [14:43] Anyone have CD burning issues? [14:44] liminal: change the order so its after hdd booting then [14:44] whats the best secure telnet? [14:44] ls [14:44] sniperjo: telnet-ssl but ssh is to be preferred [14:45] no.. whats the point of booting after the HD? [14:45] when would i ever boot without a HD.. [14:45] Hi people [14:45] llutz_: for example, ive just made a script listen on a port for a connection, i can use ssh for that ? [14:46] sniperjo: no [14:46] Hi, everyone. I downloaded ubuntu 10.10 amd64, my machine is core i5 760, 6Gb kingmax. My machine doesn't load. I see just "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c". I've installed to one hard drive 64 bit system. for root primary drive with 60 Gb and for home primary drive with 920 GB. What's the problem with boot? Do you know? [14:46] usually you can press a key to override the default boot order anyway (if you're worried about being able to boot from a CD) [14:46] llutz_: diddnt think so, can i use telnet-ssl ? [14:46] 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, Ii can't get past that error message. Any suggestions? [14:46] sniperjo: if your script uses ssl [14:46] Hi liminal - I prefer only to enable the cd boot in bios when I need it - only takes a minute [14:47] llutz_: my script is just a simple bash at the moment [14:47] sniperjo: you can use ssh to forward a port, which you then connect to in the clear and it forward over the ssh connection [14:47] should be ingored unless theres a cd in there. [14:50] 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. All I can do is shutdown the PC. Any suggestions? [14:50] liminal: ok point is this, imo it sounds like a bug that could only be fixed by updating the bios and (again imo) its not worth it (both in risk and in time) [14:51] llutz, no matter what I do still get Tone. I believe I have to pass another statement different that ATDP or ATDT [14:51] has anyone else recently had trouble with gnome behaving weirdly after playing a video in totm player? [14:51] incandenza: nice, thanks [14:52] but the message comes after 'loading operating system' [14:52] SAngeli: i thought all modems can use pulse-dialing, but are you sure yours can too? [14:52] which makes me think its ubuntu [14:52] and not the bios [14:52] it is an italian verison and should do. Let me check again [14:52] liminal: yeah, but you said its before grub even loads hence its sometime after POST and before grub [14:53] OK so, is anyone seeing what I type? [14:53] yes [14:53] I'm join in, helloo.. :) [14:53] hey, anyone up for a ipod question? [14:54] polarbrod: are you on ubuntu, if so yes [14:54] drumstik31566: yes, but I can't answer your question unfortunately [14:55] Hi, everyone. I downloaded ubuntu 10.10 amd64, my machine is core i5 760, 6Gb kingmax. My machine doesn't load. I see just "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c". I've installed to one hard drive 64 bit system. for root primary drive with 60 Gb and for home primary drive with 920 GB. What's the problem with boot? Do you know? [14:55] yes on ubuntu, latest 10.10 but the thing is i havent used my ipod with itunes yet, its brand new,, a shuffle, but i cant seem to get itunes installed.. The pod tells me to restore ipo with itunes [14:55] in my ear, hhee kinda vool [14:55] cool [14:57] aeon-ltd, yes on ubuntu, latest 10.10 but the thing is i havent used my ipod with itunes yet, its brand new,, a shuffle, but i cant seem to get itunes installed.. The pod tells me to restore ipo with itunes [14:57] in my ear, hhee kinda vool [14:57] llutz it does not specify and cannot find a manual for it. It is a MEDIACOM Hermes v.90 Modem Esterno Seriale 56 Kbps === xumuk_ is now known as XuMuK [14:59] got any clue? [15:00] polarbrod: try itunes with wine maybe? === deotec_ is now known as deotec [15:01] does anyone here using asus p5q?

[15:02] any ideas on http://is.gd/guiYa ? [15:03] if i do smbpasswd -x , and i add it again, why the windows profile will be corrupt? [15:04] dolo, you can't turn it of without editing firefox code and rebuilding it, or may be via a plugin. Why not use private browsing mod if you want it that way? [15:04] My friend has these problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/594699 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605549 is the only way to solve this to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10? How can we do video conversations otherwise? [15:04] dolo: go to Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy tab -> and set the Location Bar dropdown to "Nothing" [15:05] Just to clarify, my friend uses Ubuntu 10.04 and when trying video conversation on Empathy with telepathy-gabble it crashes the client. When opening Cheese it crashes on startup. [15:05] dolo: do you mean the menus or the locationbar? [15:05] since upgrading to ubuntu 10.10, sound is messed up in Flash, movie players, and about 70% of my applications. What might be causing this? [15:06] Travis-42: have you updated all pkgs since then to latest? [15:06] aeon-ltd: yep, everything is up to date [15:07] Travis-42: in process manager is anything showing high cpu usage? [15:07] aeon-ltd: not really, less than 10% on each core === m00se is now known as CoUnTm00sula [15:08] Travis-42: what gpu? [15:10] aeon-ltd: GeForce 9800 GTX [15:10] when a static ip on a laptop moves on the network from on switch port to another I loose sight of it from the server, even though they still have connectivity - if i clear the arp table on the server everything is fine... how can i prevent this [15:10] Travis-42: latest nvidia drivers aswell? [15:11] aeon-ltd: I'm using the latest that come with Ubuntu. Might be slightly later directly through nvidia [15:11] Travis-42: depending on what you mean by "messed up", I have problems with the same card with the proprietary driver using Lucid [15:11] skipping, stuttering audio [15:11] chrissharp123: low volume, garbled, skipping, yes [15:11] Travis-42: then i've no idea, the only thing i could suggest is reinstall pulseaudio and alsa [15:12] not in every single application -- pandora and rhythmbox work. movie player, vlc media player, flash don't [15:12] I don't have the low volume/garbled issue, but the skipping is maddening - I don't listen to music on my PC anymore :-( [15:12] why is Broadcom so crappy :( [15:12] chrissharp123, which card is this? [15:12] hey, I'm having trouble getting crontab -e jobs to actually run. Anyone know how I can log whats going on? [15:12] GeForce 9800GTX [15:12] err, cut that, rhythmbox doesn't work. only pandora [15:12] chrissharp123, for sound?? [15:13] DormantOden: make your jobs writte output to a log file [15:13] coz_: heh - sorry - ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40) [15:13] chrissharp123, open a terminal type alsamixer [15:13] hey guys [15:13] chrissharp123, the audio card should be listed at the top left [15:14] first of all can i say im really dissapointed that i have had this problem again ang again [15:14] HDA ATI SB [15:14] chrissharp123: I have Intel HDA chipset as well, and I had some problems on Karmic, but not anymore in Lucid [15:14] coz_: ^^ [15:14] chrissharp123, ok hold on [15:14] i reallly need help [15:14] chrissharp123: Did you change any default settings?. [15:14] asad-ahmad: nope [15:14] im about to install Ubuntu Server edition onto this laptop.. Im a N00B when it comes to servers, should i know anything? Thanks [15:14] im not able to boot into ubuntu anymore [15:14] ubuntu: Put in the CD?? [15:14] coz_: chrissharp123: I've got a HDA Intel Realtek ALC889 and have the same types of problems === kid__MU is now known as kid__zzz [15:15] coz_: asad-ahmad: when I output sound to ALSA, it's better (though not perfect) [15:15] basically i had a crash on and now im not able to get into the system [15:15] ubuntu: You can edit and see if the Grub entry has some extra command, and try to boot by removing that [15:15] something like inframs [15:15] chrissharp123, mm ok then maybe what you should do is go to both the #pusleaudio channel and the #alsa chaneel ,, I think they are more equipped to deal with these issues [15:15] ubuntu: when you boot, of course, put in the cd, and press one of the F buttons and fix the broken system [15:15] helo [15:16] actually, and even pandora... works sort of on some songs, but really, there's some weird echo sound. argh every ubuntu upgrade seriously screws something up [15:16] coz_: sure, though it was really Travis-42 who brought his problems up :-) [15:16] why nobody talk [15:16] ubuntu:I believe thats how it would work [15:16] !question | spider [15:16] spider: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:16] Travis-42, oh I see... did you try the pusleaudio and alsa channels for t his? [15:16] hi, I have machine on network which have a disc including 2 partitions. One is ntfs parition and other is ext3 partition that to my knowledge cannot be seen from windows. How can i access that dist via my other machine (which i'm using now) over network? I need some files from that partition to be transferred, but cannot add that disk to the comp im using now, anyone? :) [15:16] spider: sorry [15:16] chrissharp123: Have you tried removing Pulse all together and then try ALSA? and vice versa?. [15:16] !details | spider [15:16] spider: 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 ..." [15:16] coz_: no, I will try them. everything worked perfectly for sound in 10.04 [15:16] ok so i cant boot into linux as it has this inframs thing [15:16] asad-ahmad: that's my next step [15:17] bye everyone [15:17] chrissharp123: Just the music playing is messy, or the startup sound as well? [15:17] Travis-42, I understand there has been changes but I think the people in those channels will have more troubleshooting techniques than I do [15:17] how to change my output channel on alsamixer-terminal? [15:17] and you suggest i put the cd in try to fix it? [15:17] asad-ahmad: startup sound is often garbled, yes [15:17] has anyone else had an issue like this [15:17] coz_: do you know if pulse or alsa tends to work better for most people? [15:18] sera a tutti [15:18] really getting pist about having to do this once every couple of weeks [15:18] Travis-42: same thing, pulse is a extra layer for alsa [15:18] ae [15:18] aeeee [15:18] ubuntu: I had that a couple of times on Karmic, but removing the extra parameter in the Grub menu, which I cant recall at the moment what it was, fixed it === harry is now known as Guest97382 [15:18] Travis-42, I have always had issues with pulseaudio ... I also have a pro sound card but I prefer to compile alsa for that card specifically and then I have no issues at all [15:18] aeon-ltd: coz_: ok thanks. [15:19] Travis-42, but I would still speak with the poeple in that channel first [15:19] ok thanks [15:19] does anyone know how to fix it though [15:19] chrissharp123: That is the same thing I get on Karmic. I messed up some settings in there trying to get 4.1 working via getting output from the Mic channel. [15:19] as i always reinstall and if i have to do that one more time ubuntu is going bye bye [15:19] chrissharp123: Which motherboard? [15:19] ubuntu, is this dropping to intiramfs? [15:20] yeah, thats the probs im having [15:20] ubuntu: Does that happen when you hibernate/suspend? Or always?. [15:20] goes straight to there before going to login screen [15:20] ubuntu, ok and if you wait a few seconds like maybe 5 seconds and type exit dose it them boot? [15:21] i have not tried it [15:21] asad-ahmad: Gigabyte 870A UD3 [15:21] Sorry a simple question: I am working in window with PUTTY and need to upload into my Windows PC a file from ubuntu server. I have a shell ssh windows active [15:21] ubuntu, well give that a try first ,, I may know the issue and solution [15:21] how do I do so? [15:21] is that a common issue then? [15:21] I can't get my sound working, I've tried speaker-test -c2 -Dhw:0,1 and that does give me sound.. but not in anything else such as Spotify and Youtube [15:21] It's really annoying [15:22] ok, i will give it a go thanks [15:22] I've been into alsamixer and unmuting everything, still no sound .. [15:22] SAngeli, you can use winscp [15:22] ubuntu, this happens to me all the time but I use scsi drives and I have to edit default-grub for it to boot properly [15:22] asad-ahmad: I followed the debugging instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems [15:22] though atm it hangs before it gets there [15:22] jolle: do you have more than one soundcard? [15:22] wickedwackguy: Not that I know of.. [15:22] ubuntu, come back here and let me know [15:22] vge somehow I do not have enablet ftp in my ubuntu server. I use FileZilla to ftp but it does not let me in [15:22] ok, good stuff [15:22] asad-ahmad: and it worked on ALSA fine but was stuttery on pulse [15:22] it only happens to me when i have a crash [15:23] ubuntu, oh? [15:23] ok will do [15:23] vge, winscp should be simila to FileZilla [15:23] cheers [15:23] SAngeli, if you can ssh to that machine, you can use sftp for same effect [15:23] jolle: what are you runing? [15:23] ubuntu, a crash of what? [15:23] wickedwackguy: I just wiped Mythbuntu from my server .. that worked just fine but now I've installed the Ubuntu 10.10 desktopedition [15:24] well i was running 10.10 and it did hang so i did ctrl-alt-f1 [15:24] SAngeli, method between sftp and ftp are totally different, FileZilla will do fine if it can sftp [15:24] then sudo reboot [15:24] vge, got it [15:24] ubuntu, ok and then it dropped to initramfs then? [15:24] yeah thats right [15:24] vge, as you told me I used SFTP and worked out. I did not think of it [15:24] hmm... also wasn't 10.10 supposed to have a new sound menu? I don't have a sound menu anymore... [15:24] SAngeli, np, gl [15:24] ubuntu, that's odd ...ok reboot and see if it drops again [15:25] ok, will do [15:25] i am on live cd so will try and come back as the same name if i have probs [15:25] ubuntu__, ok [15:25] Arp and bridging dont seem to ne working... i have 3 interfaces on br0, eth1, eth2, eth3 - ARP is not reliable, one i move a device that is attached to eth1 to eth3, then I can not ping the device again, unless I clear my arp cache, can this be avoided? [15:26] hi, I have machine on network which have a disc including 2 partitions. One is ntfs parition and other is ext3 partition that to my knowledge cannot be seen from windows. How can i access that disk via my other machine (which i'm using now) over network?

[15:27] mrnelson1986, no, the machine im using now is ubuntu [15:27] my srssion deconnect only [15:27] asad-ahmad: I just removed pulseaudio* and sound is working much better - funny - I've been doing all these workarounds but had not tried that simple solution :-) [15:27] vge, you want to access an ext3 from an ubuntu machine on the same network? there are several options [15:27] session deconnect only [15:27] !ssh | vge [15:27] vge: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

[15:30] chrissharp123: I am glad you have most of it sorted. Having pulse and ALSA both will definitely mess stuff up. [15:30] asad-ahmad: my session ubuntu deconnect only [15:30] chrissharp123: My pleasure. I wasn't of much help to be honest [15:30] m3asmi: Sorry, I didn't get that one?

What to do? How to revert back xfce4 desktop? [15:32] Please forward me to a channel on Netbook version [15:32] now I'm connected with my session in my ubuntu after some minetes my session deconect only like I press Ctrl + Alt + Del [15:32] vge, ok, the first step is to recover the ext3 files to your windows partition...this can be done by using a live cd OR using a program called ext2explore to save the files to the NTFS partition [15:32] mrnelson1986, thanx, i do some googling [15:33] vge, after that you would use Samba sharing to transfer the files to your ubuntu machine from the windows machine [15:33] fuorviatos, I am not familiar with a netbook specific channel [15:33] m3asmi: Are you connected through VNC/RDP, Or are you talking about X-server? [15:33] I need to "unencrypt" my home folder permanently, is there an easy way to do that in ubuntu 10.10? [15:33] Does installing Unity on a Desktop version make sense? I'd like to check it out but I've got no netbook. [15:34] X-server I think [15:34] new [15:34] fuorviatos, you can do that by installing the unity package in the software center...it isn't the most efficient for desktop yet (imo) [15:34] What is a good virus scanner for Ubuntu to scan windows files?

[15:35] b nb [15:35] mrnelson1986, thx [15:36] m3asmi: 10.10? Hmm. Does it happen after you have stayed idle for some time? Or while you are doing something? [15:36] coz_ thanks for the link i will read [15:36] LiquidDemocracy, however ... be careful... clamav may see some essential windows stuff as possible viruses [15:36] LiquidDemocracy, also the front end to clamav I believe is clamtk [15:36] coz_, because WIndows is a big virus [15:37] fuorviatos, i haven't tried that ppa, but they haven't made any huge changes to unity yet, maybe in a month or two [15:37] LiquidDemocracy, I once long ago scanned my windows partions and let clamav remove the viruses which then made window un bootable :) [15:37] mrnelson1986, thanx, ext2read was exactly what i was looking for [15:37] mrnelson1986: thanks so much [15:37] m3asmi: English is not my first language either, so don't feel weird :), I will try to understand you to the best of my effort. [15:37] asad-ahmad: I don't know it's happen usuly [15:37] vge, not a problem, i recently had to do a similar thing, it is also useful in a dual boot setup [15:38] LiquidDemocracy, yes clamtk is the front end so install that as well ...easy to deal with :) [15:38] asad-ahmad: you speak arabic [15:38] asad-ahmad:or frensh [15:38] m3asmi: Nope. I can read Arabic only. [15:38] coz_, thx [15:39] Hello. I get "undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'" when trying to build something (make clean;make). This builds fine on another computer. I have 64bit, and it should build for 32bit, so I have installed libc6-dev-i386 (as well as build-essential). Any ideas?

[15:41] asad-ahmad: the room is empty :D [15:41] Baked, live cd? [15:41] Baked, if you want complete choices you may want to download and but the minimal install cd [15:41] Baked, not a live cd however [15:41] m3asmi: Do you get a window telling you that Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode, and X-server needs to restart. Or something of this sort? What sort of disconnection you meant other than this? [15:41] Baked, rather download and "burn" the minimal install cd [15:41] coz_, ah see now thats interesting i didnt know there was one of those [15:42] Baked, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:42] asad-ahmad: no think just deconnect [15:42] Baked, the only thing to remember... is that eventually you will be presented with a whole list of options.... use the arrow keys to scroll and the "Space" bar to tick a box NOT ENTER key [15:43] and I connet after [15:43] Baked, still I would only install one of the DE's avaiable there and install the kubuntu-desktop luubuntu-desktop etc afte install iscompleted [15:43] coz_, see ive used many differnt distros and came back to ubuntu cause its simple and easy and i dont have the time to mess with everything anymore... but ty cause im a hugh fan of Tiling Wm lawl [15:44] ah i gotcha [15:44] coz_, i'll try that method later, i was hoping for a way other than copying and recopying my home folder (it is quite large, lots of documents and video, music) will take almost a full day [15:44] Baked, ah understood... you should probably later install xmonad? [15:44] m3asmi: Disconnect from what? I am guessing you lose your desktop and stuff, so after that what sort of a message or warning or window do you get? Or just a log in screen? [15:44] Is there a way I can easily compile multiple .deb packages I have into a single package? [15:44] this is starting to piss me off. i want to bind my NAS into my sytem as a harddrive. NOT a network folder. can anybody help me? [15:44] mrnelson1986, yeah that post seems a bit much to me as well but off hand I cant think of another way [15:44] i perfer Awesome, i love to script in Lua [15:45] coz_, but that is the only way i have found, i have seen that method from several locations and can't find another way either, thank you for your assistance, however! [15:45] wickedwackguy, if no one can help here try the ##linux channel [15:45] mrnelson1986, no problem :) [15:45] coz_: thanks [15:45] asad-ahmad: I see nothink just the log screen to log on [15:45] wickedwackguy, there is a way to modify your boot so that it automounts a network folder [15:46] wickedwackguy, i can't remember off the top of my head, let me see if i still have it in my bookmarks [15:46] mrnelson: that would be great === ePirat is now known as ePirat|away [15:46] ubuntu daily live on unetbootin is 10.10??? [15:47] m3asmi: That usually happens in Karmic, but maybe it also happens in Lucid+ when the x-server crashes all together. If it happens when your computer has been idle for a while, try to disable screensaver [System > Preferences > Screensaver] and any Power manageement options. [15:47] m3asmi: Which graphics card do you have? [15:49] wickedwackguy, i would start here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131&highlight=auto+mount and google how to edit your fstab for more specific examples...i just remember bookmarking this and leaving it to read until later [15:49] wickedwackguy: you'll need nbd-client/server to access network-blockdevices [15:49] i did successfully edit my fstab to mount my NTFS partition from a dual boot setup, so it in theory will work for networked folders [15:50] thanks alot [15:50] VIA [15:51] wickedwackguy: also try sshfs [15:52] asad-ahmad: how can I know it [15:53] llutz_: thanks for the tip. this looks promising [15:53] wickedwackguy: just to make clear: you want access your NAS as harddisk not folder? so nbd or iscsi is the way to go [15:53] btw why doesnt ubuntu support encryped instalation like in 8.04 and debian? I want to install it encrypted but have no idea how to do it.. [15:53] my sound dies after like 5mins of play, then i have to stop the sound/start it again for it to work. seems to be a problem with pulseaudio, any ideas? [15:54] llutz_: yes, thats the idea [15:54] hi all [15:54] SpiderFred, it gives you an option to encrypt your home folder during install [15:54] im using kubuntu amd64 10.10 dvd why does the sound out soo bad?? [15:54] m3asmi: type "lspci" in terminal, and then tell the line which starts with "VGA compatible controller:" [15:55] llutz_: installing nbd right now. looking good :) [15:55] wickedwackguy: good luck [15:55] hellloo [15:56] wow i think i am now actually in the ubuntu room [15:56] im using kubuntu amd64 10.10 dvd why does the sound out soo bad when playing mp3s??

[16:02] no not at all [16:02] andyb12345, and typing exit after a few seconds did not work either? [16:02] no [16:02] andyb12345, did you wait long enough to type exit? [16:02] i got the error "can't open /root/dev/console [16:03] andyb12345: /dev/console is where the console is [16:03] i waited a while and still have the error [16:03] IdleOne: are you here alive?

[16:04] ok sorry it is an old install, it has already been installed [16:04] andyb12345, when the live cd boots you should see a small keyboard image at the bottom of the screen... when you see that hit "Enter" and you should get a menu [16:04] after rebooting my system went back there [16:05] andyb12345, are you trying to install again? or upgrade? [16:05] no i dont want to install again or upgrade [16:06] thats the prob im having with the current system === ePirat|away is now known as ePirat [16:06] i just want my previous system back again without this error [16:06] andyb12345, when did this begin to happen? [16:07] well this error actually happens frequently in ubuntu i have found [16:07] andyb12345, on that system...regardless of the ubuntu version? [16:07] but today my system was running slowly and so i ran ctrl-alt-f1 [16:07] its happend on 10.04 and now 10.10 [16:08] andyb12345, ok do you have the live cd [16:08] yeah im running the livecd now [16:08] so, I've got a strange problem [16:09] andyb12345, restart with the live cd...when you see the keyboard image at the bottom of the screen hit "Enter" to get a menu...you want to test 2 things ,,first test the cd for errors or check fil integrity...then restart again ,, get to that menu and test the memory [16:09] andyb12345, you want to be sure both the cd and your system memory report any errors [16:09] if I press two keys on my keyboard at the same time, my trackpad freezes for about 2 seconds, then I can move it again [16:09] andyb12345, rather you dont want any errors [16:09] i have run them both before and they are ok [16:10] all of a sudden, my mouse point clicks about 1 cm away from where the pointer is. any idea? [16:10] tbh this is the last time im going to put up with this error as i have had the same prob over the last few months [16:11] andyb12345: what error [16:11] loading initframs [16:11] andyb12345: exactly what error are you having [16:11] cant boot into system [16:11] andyb12345: what did you do that started the error [16:11] well computer was running slowly and ran ctrl-alt-f1 [16:12] then sudo reboot [16:12] and went straight there after that [16:12] that's all you did [16:12] andyb12345: and what is the exact error you have [16:12] well it loads initframs and i cant boot in [16:12] initramfs [16:12] andyb12345: what is the exact error [16:13] i type exit and it says cant open /root/dev/console [16:13] andyb12345: no [16:13] andyb12345: what is the error you are getting [16:13] just says it cant open cause it doesnt exist [16:14] thats basically the error [16:14] andyb12345: stop, listen very carefully, if you want help read the questions I'm asking and respond to them [16:14] nothing else more [16:14] ikonia, I believe he is dropping to busybox initramfs [16:14] andyb12345: what is the error you are having, it must be doing something to allow you to get to a point where you can type exit [16:14] andyb12345: what is the first thing you see that makes you think there is a problem [16:15] coz_: not quite certain of that, but maybe [16:15] Hello everyone, happy halloween [16:15] ikonia, yes that is what he was reporting... but when typing exit at the initramfs prompt he gets that error [16:16] ok i will answer from when i first boot the system, i turn on my computer go to boot ubuntu and it does not go to login screen goes straigt to initramfs [16:16] that is where i run the exit comand [16:16] it does not show a particular error as such [16:16] thats why i am very confused [16:17] can someone help me with Tv tuner card and scanning for channels? [16:17] well the "exit" command reveals the error you reported earlier [16:17] yeah exactly [16:17] andyb12345: are you sure you didn't edit your /etc/fstab file [16:17] andyb12345, let me check something [16:17] lol [16:18] andyb12345: why are you laughin ? [16:18] Hello, i'm on ubuntu 10.10 and i try to copy my /home directory to other hd while i rezize my other hd, do i just do something like rsync /home /new/home_back (/partition is on other hd and i try give /home own hd) and then when i have partioned disc i put it as /home and do the same but this time with destination on /home ? [16:18] Hi i am trying to setup apache for UserDir, I get a 403 forbidden error. Could someone guide me on this issue [16:18] because i have said the computer has basically stopped running and and went through the steps earlier and have not done anything technical to cause that problem [16:18] allu2: don't need to rsync, just use cp -Rp [16:19] andyb12345, to you have sata drives? [16:19] yeah i do [16:19] andyb12345, do you know how to get to and maneuver in the bios? [16:19] andyb12345: that problem doesn't just happen, something must have changed [16:19] how does one scan for channels with a tv tuner card on 10.10? [16:19] ikonia: cp -Rp /home /new/home_back ? and other way around later? [16:19] allu2: bang on [16:19] thanks :) [16:19] allu2: always keep it simple [16:19] im not sure [16:19] gkasinath: what tv tuner program are you using? [16:20] Dr_Willis - I've tried me-tv and kaffine. [16:20] ikonia: i read somewhere i should use rsync when moving with hd's :S i wonder why [16:20] i realise what you are saying and i beleive something must have become currupt or something [16:20] Dr_Willis - The card is FusionHDTV Hybrid. dmesg reports card=46 [16:20] allu2: no need for anything like that [16:21] andyb12345, well you would have to get into your motherboard bios either with F2 as soon as you start the system or Delete key./. once in there you want to look for sata mode and change it from ahci to raid ... this may be your issue ...it is not the only bois setting that could help but that is one to try [16:21] ikonia: ok thanks again :) [16:21] tbh i cant even access that partition in the live cd [16:21] gkasinath: you sure it has linux support? [16:21] anyone who have a pulse clock/meter ? [16:21] Hi there [16:22] Any such clock that is good and compatible with ubuntu? [16:22] ok i will give that a go [16:22] andyb12345, I cant see your bios from here so I cant see what settings may need to be changed...but if you have had,,,as you said...this same issue with ubuntu forseveral versions.. then it is most likely a bios settings or bad hardware... i am betting bios setting [16:22] frimend: what does that clock do exactly? [16:22] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [16:22] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [16:22] dmesg | tail or so [16:22] measure my pulse, perhaps speed and such as well. [16:22] I would like to download the data to my computer and analyse it. [16:22] Dr_Willis, well, dmesg says it's recognized the card and all. There's the usual files in the /dev folder too, [16:22] and also, be able to see the pulse on the fly. [16:22] as I run/work out etc. [16:23] frimend, mm you would have to have a piece of hardware ..usb perhaps that is used with some piece of software [16:23] frimend, I am not familiar with any but let me check ...sounds interesting [16:23] i will change the settings to raid [16:23] gkasinath: about the only tv tuner app ive used is mythtv. So im not sure how to make other programs tune it in.. this was also with an old analog card. [16:24] that shouldnt be a problem [16:24] hey everyone. I'm trying to access a home computer via VNC. It was working fine until i changed the colour depth on the host computer to 16. Now I get just a black screen when i connect no matter what VNC client i use. any ideas? [16:24] Dr_Willis- Hhmm, ok. I tried MythTV a while back with 09.04 in vain as well. [16:24] pulse clocks are quite common hardware. [16:24] Sold in sports and fitness stores. [16:24] frimend, do you have one now? [16:25] But I guess that most of them only have windows/mac software, and have quite bad APIs [16:25] no [16:25] I wish to get one that has a good open API. :> [16:25] frimend, you might want to read up , online.. any of those pulsemeters that will run on linux [16:25] frimend, or with wine [16:26] hello [16:26] Hiii...... === tom_ is now known as justTom [16:26] Is dre ny 1 [16:27] Hi, I'm a total newbie to ubuntu. But I'm trying to migrate to it from Windows. Question: [16:28] hello === jemadux_ is now known as jemadux [16:28] anyone know how to make Amarok add music from network shares (shared on both a Linux based NAS and Vista based NTFS drives) to its media library? so far, I haven't found a better solution than simply navigating to the individual mp3s in Amarok and dragging them to the playlist. [16:28] hah [16:29] Hello, how do I use my mousewheel by vlc player? [16:29] yeah i knw [16:29] Hey I'm booted into the ubuntu CD on Ctrl+Alt+F1 and I want to change keyboard input from american to british because I can't find the bloody pipe char... any ideas how? [16:29] From the small amount of messing I've previously done, I can't seem to have an 'absolute' path to any of my existing files, all of them being in D:, E:, etc. drives rather than the standard (I think) /usr/ directory. I can disk mount them, but...um... [16:29] what is the keyboard shortcut to hide windows and show the desktop [16:29] Is this to be expected, since I'll have to continually run both OSes on this PC? [16:29] 大家好 [16:29] TheCommieDuck: what is your question, as what you've just said makes no sense [16:29] hey everyone. I'm trying to access a home computer via VNC. It was working fine until i changed the colour depth on the host computer to 16. Now I get just a black screen when i connect no matter what VNC client i use. any ideas? [16:30] TheCommieDuck: what is the problem you are trying to have [16:30] TheCommieDuck: You can mount your windows 'D' drive to /media/D/ if you wanted to... [16:30] iknoia: Sorry, I'm useless at trying to explain. Another try. [16:30] TheCommieDuck: Filesystemns are normnally mouynted to /media/SOMNTHING/ not /usr/stuff === nubuntuser is now known as WatchNLearn [16:32] hello there, i'm looking for something like Yadis! Backup, but for linux (http://www.codessentials.com/products/yadisbackup.html), somebody? [16:32] I have all my data in what I take to be Windows style drives, so C:, D:, E: etc. I've only used ubuntu a little before, or anything other than my windows system, but I seem to have to 'mount' the disk drives to use them. (Don't know what it means). Is there a way to avoid having to mount them, and instead keep both a linux and windows filesystem with the same files? Sorry if I'm missing something big. [16:32] How can I use my mousewheel in VLC Player? [16:32] TheCommieDuck: ok, work with me a little here and we'll sort it [16:32] TheCommieDuck: time to read up on some linux basics i think. linux dosent use Drive letters.. a drive gets 'mounted' to a setable locatuion so it appears the same as a directory. [16:33] TheCommieDuck: is the end game to have just windows or just linux, or do you want to keep both ? [16:33] TheCommieDuck: I have my windows drives mounted to /media/WindowsBoot and /media/WindowsData and so forth. [16:34] Dr_Willis, Thanks for your help, mate. I guess I m all on my own for now. Bye and Happy halloween everyone. [16:34] ikonia: I would have to keep both in the end game. [16:35] Dr_Willis: I knew the first part, and I think the second part is what I was meaning. [16:35] Hi All, just updated my system from ubuntu 8.10 to 10.10 and am having some trouble [16:35] by default grub2 in ubuntu uses uuid for hdds? i wanna to isntall it on on usb flash and have it all time with me. [16:35] TheCommieDuck: ok, so you want your windows data to be mounted in your linux install at boot so you don't have to manually mount it yes/no ? [16:36] I have 3 TV tuner cards 2x pctv 800i and 1 PVR-150. If I have all 3 installed my nVidia card won't run with the nVidia driver [16:36] hell_razer: I installed grub2 to a usb flash drive - it uses the uuids by derfault i beliove. [16:36] ikonia: I think the answer is yes. [16:36] justTom: when you say 8.10 to 10.10 you mean you forced the updates and manually added maverick repositories¿ or did you di a fresh install¿ [16:36] if I remove any 1 of my 3 TV cards nVidia driver works no problem [16:36] TheCommieDuck: you can use the ntfs-config tool to automate the setup of mountpoints for your windows drives. Its a little flakey. but it works decently well for me. [16:36] xangua - Fresh install [16:36] Ok. [16:37] TheCommieDuck: Its worth reading up on how mount points work. and how ntfs-3g works. :) [16:37] anyone!? [16:37] anyone have any idea hot to troubleshoot this? [16:37] hi everyone [16:37] hello there, i'm looking for something like Yadis! Backup, but for linux (http://www.codessentials.com/products/yadisbackup.html), somebody? [16:37] this is utterly insane... the loadkeys util is there on the boot cd... but none of the keymaps! [16:37] Just before I go and try to understand all this and read up, is wubi a good choice for being able to dual boot ubuntu/windows? [16:38] I think it's wubi. The one that stops you having to manually disk partition. [16:38] TheCommieDuck: I would personally recommend against wubi [16:38] TheCommieDuck: i hate WUBI... :) [16:38] TheCommieDuck: i suggest a normal install.. or running in virtualbox to 'test' linux out.

Can you try to boot from a live CD and do a burn? [17:13] seems to be a frequent issue i have been having and thought it may of been a hardware problem [17:13] ubuntu: it may well be a failing disk causing it [17:14] fishface, the strange thing is that sometimes it works === Guest85368 is now known as Monotoko [17:14] but it hasnt it a few days [17:14] i tried cleaning it and still nothing [17:14] fazl: Blew it out good?

[17:16] magicianlord: thank's for the advice. [17:16] ooh ok [17:16] kepedro: it doesnt work [17:16] at first I thought it was a wodim issue, but i am using CDRecord 3.0 which isn't supposed to have those issues [17:16] Humashoom: Also, try running the game as root. Just for laughs. [17:16] ikonia> the HD is fine [17:16] How can I update my OpenSSH (Version OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007) on my Ubuntu Hardy ? [17:17] Ok, I'll try it. [17:17] ok man [17:17] ubuntu: how do you know ? [17:17] i've also tried to run the K3B as root because some googling showed that you need ot be root to burn [17:17] Kuehlschrank: if there is an update available, ubuntu will offer it to you [17:17] Kuehlschrank: why do you need that version of openssh ? [17:17] ikonia> I have tested that hard drive and there were no errors on it [17:17] fazl, nahh...disk burning is in the user space [17:17] ubuntu: how did you test it [17:17] does anyone know how to copy text or url links from within terminal in irrsi? [17:18] ikonia: I did an rkhunter --update and rkhunter -c today and it said that my version was too old [17:18] I ran fdisk on it before [17:18] anyone know of any open source automated email account creation like yahoo and google? [17:18] fazl: In my experience if Brasero doesn't work every time, then you have a problem with the burner. I'd try a burn on a fresh boot just to be sure. [17:18] i can't configure exim4 to use a smart host :( can anyone help me? [17:18] ubuntu: fdisk doesn't test it [17:18] I know Mono, it is supposed to be.. but i am just trying everything [17:18] dave65: no, that's for spammers [17:19] ikonia: huh [17:19] fazl, whats the problem? Haven't kept up with you im afraid [17:19] Fish, you mean you think i should just reboot and see if that works? [17:19] hey guys, i have a small problem with a line of code. when it is executed, sudo doesn't properly function and fails to promt for a password. i suspect the & that proceeds the line. here is an example: http://pastebin.com/bN3BU8PK [17:19] Mono my problem is that I cannot burn CDs [17:19] how can i open gcc compiller?

You need to use the gcc command [17:19] regardless of what speed or mode i choose [17:19] through ssh [17:19] well i have checked the disk using some of the applications and that disk has been fine [17:20] and i get a Medium error and a power calibration error [17:20] fazl: Yeah. I mean you might have something else running that will interfere. That is a long shot. Just a guess because I think it is the burner going tits up. [17:20] ubuntu: what applications [17:20] i type gcc but it says command not found [17:20] fazl, have you tried using another disk burner? [17:20] ubuntu: how did you check the disk [17:20] D4rCl0ud, do you have build-essential installed? [17:20] D4rCl0ud: install it from the package manager [17:20] ikonia: I just want people who sign up to my site to create an account on the domain with out me having to set it up, be busy with thousands lol [17:20] wht do you mean by another disk burner? A different program? [17:20] fazl, yes [17:20] hey guys, i have a small problem with a line of code. when it is executed, sudo doesn't properly function and fails to promt for a password. i suspect the & that proceeds the line. here is an example: http://pastebin.com/bN3BU8PK [17:20] i cant remember im on the live cd atm and dont have it installed [17:20] dave65: then you don't need it for yahoo/google mail, you just need to run a script on your server to create an account [17:21] but i installed a disk checker application [17:21] ubuntu: come back to me when you can remember the tool you used to check it [17:21] I've used K3b, Gnomebake, Brasero, FBurn, and CDrecord [17:21] ikonia: thats what I asked any OS stuff, done a search but come up with anything [17:21] I was trying to use CDRDAO [17:21] this is what flagged up my previous drive [17:21] but i dont know how...

Fishface? [17:23] dave65: (ok side issue, 8.10 is no longer supported) however all you need to do is use the command "maildirmake" $username" to create a mail account [17:23] ok, thanks, sure what I am using is supported till 2013 let me check [17:24] fazl: Short of trying a different brand of CDR, I don't know [17:24] another thing I get is that the debugging reports say that the CDREcord cannot read the drive buffer [17:24] i can't configure exim4 to use a smart host :( the smtp server for smarthost is smtp.portugalmail.pt . How can do i configure exim4? thanks :) [17:24] dave65: 8.04 server is supported through 2013 - yes [17:24] I will go to ubuntu server, thanks [17:24] i have multiple network interfaces which can connect to internet.

How can do i configure exim4? thanks :) [17:25] reenignEesreveR, I think Ubuntu defaults to wired over wireless as standard. If you want to go more in depth than that though I'm not sure [17:25] is there a easy way to encrypt swap after you have your computer installed with ubuntu [17:26] also, is CDRDAO, CDRECORD and GROWISOFS all supposed to be root? [17:26] root permissions that is [17:26] is the "Disk Utility" the correct software to use to check disks? [17:26] ubuntu: no [17:26] man the ubuntu update totally killed my machine.. may software raid isnt working anymore [17:27] when i startup ubuntu, my raid5 is working perfectly but my raid1 isnt detected [17:27] ok, what do you use? [17:27] i need to do mdadm --assemble --scan to get it working [17:27] i mean, even my device /dev/sr0 says 660 root.cdrom [17:27] is there a program to sync my ipod touch with kubuntu? [17:27] when i do mdadm --detail --scan the raid1 doesnt even get recognized... [17:27] Mono, Fish, you two still there? [17:27] pw-toxic: is your /etc/mdadm.conf file still ok ? [17:28] fazl: Yeah. But I have run out of ideas :o\ [17:28] Luija1006, there is a nice way of doing ipod touch in kubuntu [17:28] ikonia, /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf is still having the up to date information of mdadm --detail --scan [17:28] ok, thanks fish [17:28] Yep [17:28] Mahawoki14: what way? [17:28] Luija1006, i'll find out [17:28] pw-toxic: should auto re-create the arrays then [17:28] I think my problem has managed to confuse everyone [17:28] Mahawoki14: thansk :) [17:28] ikonia, the problem is, that the raid1 isnt recognized.. so i have to do mdadm --assemble --scan manually... only then i can run the mdadm.conf [17:29] pw-toxic: run mdadm.conf ?? [17:29] ikonia, auto re-create is mdadm --assembe --scan right? [17:29] is there any way to get a vnc server to start even before you have to login? === orion is now known as Guest58018 [17:29] pw-toxic: are your raid1 devices in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf ? [17:29] im trying to see how long i can get by net book to run off battery, im on tty1 using powertop, my biggest cause for "wakeups" is upowerd, cursor_timer_handler and hald, can i get rid of any of these? [17:29] ikonia, yes there is a line for my raid5 and for my raid1 [17:29] evon, Yeah. write a script for it and sudo update-rc.d that script. [17:29] the UUIDs are still correct for both [17:30] hey is is possible to run windows in VM if its on a Physical partition. a real partition. [17:30] pw-toxic: then they should be autostarted unless they are defgraded [17:30] hey Fish, any idea what this means "/var/tmp/kdecache-fazl" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [17:30] starn: with tools like kvm, yes [17:30] ok i'll check out kvm than [17:30] ikonia, what is defgraded? [17:30] degraded sorry [17:30] i'm seeing that in the command prompt [17:31] when i run K3B [17:31] fazl: Never saw that one [17:31] starn, Yes. But it's difficult. You can't point the VM at a physical partition. You have to create a file for the VM to use as a HDD. You can migrate a physical partition into a file though. [17:31] it looks like an ownership problem [17:31] can i use the CHOWN command to change ownership? [17:31] fazl: yesw [17:31] yes [17:31] how would i do that? [17:31] I have a gnupg key, which sys>preferences>keys and encryotion have, however, I cannot get it to list it, how can I do this, if there another proggy that wii tell me, for somereason, seahorse is installed but not showing in my mentues [17:31] fazl: Well, if you do a burn as root and it doesn't work - then you know its not a permission problem. Thinking. [17:31] fazl, sudo chown /var/tmp/kdecache-fazl [17:32] Luija1006, sudo apt-get install gtkpod [17:32] Luija1006, have u tryed that? [17:32] how would i go about doing that? [17:32] Mahawoki14: no, thanks ;) [17:32] ok, i wil try the edbian [17:32] ikonia, /proc/mdstat says that both raids are active (after i have executed the command mdadm --assemble --scan manually" [17:32] im sure with the "Disk Utility" you can do some sort of checking on your disks [17:32] mmmm :S [17:32] i agree fish... but just trying everything you know [17:32] yah [17:33] Luija1006, but there is another nice way. It's on my other computer... i cant seem to find that now.... :( [17:33] get every kink out and then maybe all the superfluous problems being gone will illuminate the real one [17:33] edbian: I'm afraid I don't know what you mean. I know how to write a script but the update part i don't know about [17:33] fazl: mke2fs -b 2048 /dev/scd0 to wipe it [17:33] ubuntu: you can - what kind of check do you need to do? [17:33] Juk.. what would that command do? [17:33] edbian: Also, when does the networking service start? after or before login? [17:33] fazl: dd if=image.iso of=/dev/scd0 [17:33] i just wanted to find some tools to check my disks [17:33] mzuverink: seahorse is probably showing up as "Passwords and encryption keys". Otherwise start it by doing Alt+F2 and typing seahorse [17:34] Mahawoki14: it says the package could not be found, is that the correct name? [17:34] Mahawoki14: nvm [17:34] fazl: first creates blank filesystem [17:34] Juk... what is the image.iso? I am not trying to burn an image [17:34] evon, Networking starts before login. However you don't connect to wifi networks until after. update-rc.d is a program (used at the cli) to set scripts to run at boot time. read man update-rc.d [17:34] ok, I will try that [17:34] i had some real problems with some of my previous disks [17:34] fazl: second to burn [17:35] does handbrake work with 10.10? [17:35] Friar, yep [17:35] so wanted to find some good toolsto check them [17:35] fazl: what are trying to do? [17:35] edbian ok i will check it out [17:35] edbian, just download it from the site and use the 9.10 version? [17:36] Friar, It's not in the repos? [17:36] Luija1006, gtkpod [17:37] Luija1006, yes, i think so... [17:37] Juk, I am trying to back up my harddrive to transfer some files from another computer onto it [17:37] edbian, I don't think so...I tried sudo apt-get install handbrake and it wasn't there. I even searched in synaptic and it wasn't there either. [17:37] basically backing up my computer and my wifes and then going to wipe out the windows on hers and put on Lucid [17:37] Luija1006, do a sudo apt-get update [17:37] Luija1006, then sudo apt-get install gtkpod [17:38] Mahawoki14: i typed the name wrong, do not worry :) [17:38] Mahawoki14: i am installing in this moment :D [17:38] Friar, The web confirms. Doesn't appear to be in there. Yeah just try the 10.04 version. [17:38] i did the CHOWN command and I still have the same warning about ownership of the UID [17:38] Luija1006, ok. Do you now something about exim4? [17:38] Luija1006, :P [17:38] edbian, it actually doesn't show up on the handbrake site...it looks like they are working on a new release or something. [17:38] i have to reset my ubuntu sound panel back to internal analog audio input and output , close it , and then re open it to set to head set each time i start mangler with plantronics headset. don't have to if i use logitech. any ideas? [17:38] Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-fazl" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [17:39] i can't configure exim4 to use a smart host :( the smtp server for smarthost is smtp.portugalmail.pt . How can do i configure exim4? thanks :) [17:39] ufw reject in http -> however i can still see localhost [17:39] Friar, http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/276018-No-Handbreak-for-Ubuntu-10.10-%28 [17:39] Mahawoki14: no, what is that? [17:39] fazl, typo before sudo chown root /var/tmp/kdecache-fazl [17:40] Luija1006, its a thing to send mails via command line [17:40] Luija1006, i dont seem to configure it right..... =( [17:40] cant remove some entries with alacarte. What may be the reason ? [17:41] ikonia, maybe you havent understood my problem correctly, so i tell you the full story now: When I boot ubuntu, it says on startup something like "cannot mount /share/sullivan because disk is not ready" ... then i press "S" for skip and ubuntu starts successfully. Then I type into a console "mdadm --assemble --scan" and "mount -a" and everything works .. i can access /share/sullivan [17:42] i did that edbian and still... same thing [17:42] Hi, I need to mount an img file so that my computer actually thinks it is mounted at /dev/sda1 so that a program (epsxe) actually thinks it really is the CD drive [17:42] i have tried several things, even telling wine that when mounted it is a cd rom drive [17:43] and so far I haven't been able to get it to load the rom [17:43] fazl, cd /var/tmp [17:43] so now I am trying to use mount to mount it at /dev/sda1 because wine has that hard linked to the D drive which for it is the cd drive [17:43] fazl, Look at the file using ls -l who owns it? What are the permissions on it? [17:43] how do I do that edbian... I'm always getting lost with commandline [17:44] fazl: cp -rf /forbackup /mybackup [17:44] no one here who could help me with my raid and boot problem? [17:44] no such file or directory as /forbackup [17:45] fazl, ha :) cd /var/tmp [17:45] fazl, That moves the cli around the filesystem. [17:45] fazl: ok, what files you have to backup? [17:45] fazl, ls -la lists everything in the folder you're in with the permissions [17:45] pw-toxic: if your disks are in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and valid, it should auto create the array at boot up [17:45] pw-toxic: if it's not working you need to log a bug to get it resolved [17:46] ok, I got the message edbian [17:46] I am sending it to directly [17:46] fazl, don't paste a ton of stuff in this channel! [17:46] no, not pasting it on this [17:47] thanks edbian, i installed the pre release version...we'll see how it works tonight. [17:47] ikonia, the entries of /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf is the output of mdadm --detail --scan .. when I execute this command manually right after boot, the raid1 isnt displayed [17:47] i did it on the messenger thing to you [17:47] Friar, Have fun [17:47] would it be a massive problem if i killed the kernal core cursor_timer_handler ? [17:47] anybody know how to mount an IMG file in /cdrom ?? i'm trying to mount it like it's a cd, and so far no programs I have tried work. They mount it in my home directory, and WINE can't recognize it as a CD. [17:47] pw-toxic: ok - so either a.) your mdadm.conf file is wrong b.) there is a bug and you need to log the bug [17:47] juk, I am trying to back up the files in my video folder [17:47] pw-toxic: if your entries in mdadm.conf are correct, then arrays should be assembled and started at boot time [17:47] Hi [17:47] ikonia, but looks like this problem i need to write a forum thread.. seems to be a major problem. thanks anyway for your help! [17:48] i don't understand the man page for mount [17:48] pw-toxic: why do you need to write a forum thread ? [17:48] what's a proper dial up program for 10.10 [17:48] pw-toxic: you need to log a bug [17:48] pw-toxic: either a.) your mdadm.conf file is wrong b.) it's right and there is a bug, you need to log the bug and push to get it resolved [17:48] hello, some to install this app : https://launchpad.net/~chris-debenham/+archive/lyricue [17:48] <[thor]> rudy__: are you limited to the command line? or are you just looking for a way to mount images? [17:48] fazl: to? /media/pendrive ? [17:49] ikonia, a forum thread in the ubuntu forums where i tell the story in full detail so maybe someone has an idea what i have forgotten maybe... if it is really a bug i can submit a bug === pkkm_ is now known as pkkm [17:49] can some one help me make kmv/qemu using aqemu boot a grub?? like what files are for what? [17:49] ikonia, i will paste my mdadm.conf etc [17:49] in thed thread [17:49] pw-toxic: you don't need a forum thread [17:49] ikonia, you only got few details from me [17:49] anybody know why I can't install gimp on 10.10? [17:49] pw-toxic: I don't need any more [17:49] seems like that is something that should be fixed... :( [17:49] pw-toxic: either a.) your config file is wrong b.) your config file is fine and there is a bug, that you need to log a bug and get resolved [17:49] you cant install gimp? i installed it [17:49] it would be /home/fazl/Videos and its supposed to go to the CD [17:49] help to install this, https://launchpad.net/~chris-debenham/+archive/lyricue [17:50] refresh your sources: sudo apt-get update [17:50] which is i think dev/sr0 [17:50] fazl: whatever, cp -rf Video/ /media/my_usb_stick [17:50] dtownhero, you are getting some error? [17:50] ikonia, do you know the difference between mdadm --assemble --scan and mdadm --detail --scan? [17:50] <[thor]> rudy_: http://launchpad.net/furuiusisomount [17:50] How come opening a file ( reading a html file ) from the virtual terminal isn't on the wikis basic commands [17:50] pw-toxic: assemble checks what's running, detail shows full details of running arrays [17:50] whre ai must to add the signing key? [17:50] Do I have to allow access first via cat or nano [17:50] CJO, you can contribute to wiki. more help in #ubuntu-beginners-wiki [17:50] says, cannot stat "video/" no such file or directory [17:51] ikonia, so it is ok that mdadm --detail --scan does not show my raid1 while it shows my raid1 after i have executed mdadm --assemble --scan? [17:51] fazl: *V*ideo [17:52] pw-toxic: pastebin me your /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file please [17:52] Hi, can I easily switch to Usplash from Plymouth (I'm on 10.10), as I find more Usplash-themes on gnome-look.org [17:52] ikonia, ok.. will take some time [17:52] Can I open a file to read given IK have the permissions for the file, from the terminal? And given It's in " [17:52] *in / [17:52] Juk, what are you trying to locate? [17:52] I mean, are you looking or the path to my videos folder? [17:53] fazl: where you store you videos, very interested you know === CJO is now known as C_Okie [17:54] Can I switch to Usplash from Plymouth in 10.10 without problems? [17:54] need to specify xrandr settings when x starts [17:54] missing destination file operand after `home/fazl/Videos/my_USB-Stick [17:54] thats the error i get [17:55] dungnt: alo [17:55] need to specify xrandr settings when x starts before xbmc-live script on ubuntu 9.10 [17:56] DONT HELP fazl HE IS TROLLING [17:56] I installed the nvida-current driver/server for my geforce card but now everything is "bigger" is there a way strink it back to as it was before installing the driver? [17:56] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/BwnBJGye [17:56] juk: calm down [17:56] ikonia: :D im calm [17:57] I asked before how to install ubuntu encrypted and somebody said there is option for that, but I dont see any.. [17:57] Juk.. i am not trolling [17:57] I am totally confused [17:57] I've been trying to get this thing working for a week already [17:57] ikonia, i just see that there are 2 entries for raid1.. interesting [17:57] !encrypt | SpiderFred [17:57] SpiderFred: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [17:58] alex_: from terminal, run sudo nvidia-xconfig, then logout and back in [17:58] pw-toxic: yes, I'd assume that is a problem [17:58] SpiderFred: You should look into TrueCrypt for general encryption needs. [17:58] can you use the "write [username]@[hostname] [message]" in terminal to communicate with a user on a Vista machine on the same LAN? [17:58] magicianlord I tried that but it doesn't do anything. [17:59] ikonia, it worked for some months now with this configuration.. i remove the first one and reboot and then report to you what happened [17:59] Mumrah, ##windows [17:59] AbhiJit, sorry? [17:59] Mumrah, ask in the channel ##windodws [17:59] ##windows [18:00] if the driver was installed properly and you let it write a new xorg.conf, then it should [18:00] but I'm asking about Ubuntu - using Terminal to communicate with Windows ... hmm, k, I'll ask there too [18:00] ok but those are encryption methods just for folders and I ofc can make encrypted container with truecrypt but I am looking for full disk encryption of ubuntu === Terminator_ is now known as Terminator [18:01] ikonia, it works. thank you so much for just telling me to look closer ;) [18:01] it writes a new xorg.conf but it doesn't fix the problem. The driver seems to be installed fine. [18:01] now lets see if i can resolve my remaining 10 problems since my last ubuntu update ;) [18:01] pw-toxic: as I said, you don't need a forum thread, either the config is wrong, or there is a bug ;) [18:02] i want to make my netbook as lightweight as possible , for battery life, where should i start ? [18:02] ikonia, yes but in the forum thread i would have pasted my mdadm.conf anyway and then people would have told me what you told me when i pasted you my config [18:02] there isnt even option for setup crypt disk when I am manually partitioning it [18:02] Mumrah, see if samba works [18:02] Can I switch to Usplash from Plymouth in 10.10 without problems?

[18:04] !minimal | sniperjo [18:04] sniperjo: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[18:06] alex_: as in battery life ? [18:08] sniperjo I couldn't say exactly I've never measured it but there must be at least a noteworthy difference with less resources being used [18:08] sniperjo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [18:09] AbhiJit, I am already sharing files with Windows, using Samba. I actually got help with that from the people here :-) [18:10] I am now trying to get Ubuntu's Terminal to send messages to the Vista machine.

[18:12] sniperjo not to my knowledge I tried a few applications but it just gave me an error about display variable not set or something [18:12] yes, tron [18:12] dont tell me that you dont know what Tron is [18:13] Naznaz: no. plymouth is required now [18:13] alex_: it would be perfect if i could have a text based system, that can watch videos on aswel [18:13] magicianlord, thanks [18:13] * AbhiJit dont know tron! [18:14] edbian so if i typed update-rc.d /my/script/location/scriptname it would work? [18:14] sniperjo, alex: Can't this be done by changing xinitrc to start you a blank X with an xterm or VLC?

If i remove the bind it says the same thing.

Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". [19:19] ActionParsnip: can you explain more [19:19] ActionParsnip: i can use or no [19:19] istvan: considered sftp? It a lot more secure than ftp which is very weak. If its only for lan access then ftp is fine [19:19] testito: i think you need to claify what you are meaning also.

[19:26] ActionParsnip: no, but it got written to the usb stick just fine, and it boots just fine === thekid is now known as kid_ [19:26] My friends usually use my system to browse sites..So i have installed squid in my system to restrict porn sites and downloads..But the simply bypassing the proxy by disabling it..How do i restrict bypassing..? [19:26] ActionParsnip: i'm connected to wifi, and the life desktop works [19:26] sefo40: linux iss the kernel only. The distro is debian, which isn't supported here [19:27] it's just the installer that's not working [19:27] Dr_Willis: what is your mind === kid_ is now known as kid__ [19:27] it just sits there [19:27] sefo40: make a bootable flash drive from the iso with unetbootin or some other tool. boot the flash drive.. follow the installer directions.. [19:27] cnf: the app will write any data you throw atitto the usb until itisdone. Youhave not checked the file, so you have no idea if it is complete or consistent [19:28] !md5 | cnf [19:28] cnf: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:28] yes, yes, i know how md5 works [19:28] I donne the bootable drive, but i can't do the but by the usb [19:28] cnf: then why did you not test it!? [19:28] is there any .deb file available for mysql [19:28] Dr_Willis: tell me [19:28] because it boots just fine [19:29] testito: please keep your questions to ubuntu support [19:29] testito: tell you what exactly? [19:29] also, checked [19:29] matched [19:29] next? [19:29] if i do smbpasswd -x , and i add it again, why the windows profile will be corrupt? [19:29] !enter | cnf [19:29] cnf: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:29] ActionParsnip: md5 is dead on [19:29] cnf: test ram. Test usb for consistency [19:30] Dr_Willis: i want an advise about this license if i can use it in software WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM or no [19:30] ActionParsnip: ok, maybe i should elaborate. i have used this usb stick to install on other systems [19:30] it worked on those other systems [19:30] Hello! [19:30] cnf: test ram health then [19:30] this netbook is brand new [19:30] testito: that is off topic here, please don't insist === blueapples_ is now known as blueapples [19:30] cnf: doesn't matter,ram can be DOA [19:30] testito: the faq says you can use it.. it also says they suggest using a license specifically for software.. .. so do what you want. Have fun. [19:30] yes, it can === cpg|away is now known as cpg [19:30] it's unlikely though [19:31] and ram tests take time [19:31] Dr_Willis: good [19:31] cnf: so test it. You may have a netbook made with bad ram [19:31] i'll try debugging first, and ram test when i go to bed [19:31] starting with a ram test is silly [19:31] unless the ram test shows ram in the first 10 sec... :) [19:31] is there any .deb file available for mysql? [19:31] Dr_Willis: if it did, the win 7 on it wouldn't run fine [19:32] cnf: its not as the live environment runs 100% in ram so if its bad it will cause errors. You need to reduce things that may be an issue to narrow down issue causers [19:32] Dr_Willis: in the factran this sentense histate me "We do not recommend it" [19:32] ActionParsnip: there are no errors [19:32] it's just not doing anything [19:32] filebrowser shows files with the wrong mime-type, does anyone know how can fix this? [19:32] rt1729: yes, mysql is present in the ubuntu archive itself [19:32] is there any .deb file available for mysql? [19:32] Dr_Willis: i mean on the fact this .. [19:32] is there any .deb file available for mysql? [19:33] it's not crashing, it's not throwing errors that i can see, i can cancel it, and start it again [19:33] it just doesn't do anything [19:33] cnf: you need to test it all so you know its all healthy, then all I can suggest is bootoptions [19:33] Can someone tell me why Enlightenment is not a desktop manager but windows manager ? [19:33] rt1729: why not install it from the repos? [19:33] rt1729: Don't repeat yourself, especially when you've already been answered [19:34] right, so anyone have any idea on this? [19:34] How can I get the default xorg setting file alone with all the drives / packages that where added during installation without reinstalling ubuntu (10.10)? [19:34] is there any way to get SMB mounting to revert to the old 10.04 behaviour with mount points in ~/.gvfs ? [19:34] have tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [19:35] X -configure [19:35] no joy [19:35] with the new SMB mounting behaviour, most applications can't access network shares [19:35] and you can't do the old workaround of pointing applications to ~/.gvfs anymore [19:36] @ guntbert : i don know how to do it with repos [19:36] Can someone tell me why Enlightenment is not a desktop manager but windows manager ? [19:37] hmz, doesn't the installer keep log files somewhere? [19:37] taiyal, why dont you use smbmount ? [19:37] rt1729: sudo apt-get install mysql-server (or use your favourite package manager) [19:38] test34: I know I can do that, but Canonical should provide a sane way to mount SMB shares and not leave control only to Nautilus (locking out 90% of applications including Firefox and Chrome (can't save to shares)) === Shaul is now known as Elisha [19:38] Can someone tell me why Enlightenment is not a desktop manager but windows manager ? [19:38] If I have my, say music, sorted on a windows partition, is there a way to *also* have it in the Ubuntu music location without copying all the files? (/media/music/ I think it is) [19:38] !repeat | bildir_g [19:38] bildir_g: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [19:39] I just did a new install of Windows and I'm trying to reinstall the grub (GRUB Legacy). I've booted off a LiveCD like every guide I've found says, but the LiveCD doesn't come with grub. Any tips? [19:39] Reliant: are you using an Ubuntu live cd? [19:39] yeah [19:39] the nautilus filebrowser shows files with the wrong mime-type, does anyone know how can fix this? [19:39] I downloaded it today [19:39] hi [19:40] argl, this is driving me nuts! [19:40] im trying to connect to a pc by vinagre, must i specify a port? [19:40] maye it wasn't the LiveCD I downloaded. I just grabbed what was on the front page, lol [19:40] the LiveCD does come with grub2... as far as installing older GRUB versions, you might have to build it yourself in a temporary directory [19:40] it tries in 5900 but it doesnt connect, is the first time i use it [19:40] anyone want to help me debug this? [19:41] ecolitan_: "sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REJECT --to-port 3128" is this right? [19:41] hello [19:41] the guide on Ubuntu for installed the grub legacy involves running grub [19:42] alright, I'm going to open the SMB mount point problem as a bug on Nautilus' bug tracker [19:42] karthick87: i really dont know [19:43] Reliant: you can install grub package. it will 'install' to the ram disk and you can use its tools.. [19:43] A common question: How to keep my system secure if i am connected online [19:43] ahh [19:43] karthick87: its proberly more secure by default. then you are used to. :) [19:43] I wasn't aware that the LiveCD could do that :) [19:44] I dont use grub1 any more :) [19:44] I just use whatever Ubuntu does by default, I never really knew that it was still using an outdated bootloader [19:45] Dr_Willis: People say it is possible to hack anyone on internet easily,is it true..? [19:45] Hm is there a way to preview the Plymouth splash screen? plymouth --show-splash displays something but that's certainly not my splash screen :D [19:45] taiyal: (no help from me) could you point me to some place where I can see those changes (regarding smb and nautilus) ? [19:45] how do i hide all the text, showing up at boot? [19:46] i want to use the tata photon+ with ubuntu 10.4 [19:46] ljsoftnet, check for bootline arguments [19:46] cannot login to ubuntu 10.10 livecd and it is not my first time i installed ubuntu from but after installing windows i tried the live cd but it wont let me log in [19:46] karthick87: how paranoid are you wanting to be? someone could hold your dog hostage and demand your farmville passwords.... Security is a system of practices and habbits not just somthing you do once and its done., [19:46] yagoo how? [19:46] guntbert: do you happen to have SMB shares available on your network? (I assume you're asking me to explain to you how to reproduce the problem) [19:47] i tried the user name ubuntu but it didnot work [19:47] anyone have any experience with lirc and remotes? cant seem to get it to do anything, but lsusb 'sees' it and its supported by lirc... [19:47] karthick87: the biggest danger i see to a ubuntu system. is new users not understanding what htye are doing. [19:47] ljsoftnet, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions (quiet splash) [19:47] Dr_Willis: I'd just encrypt my dog.... [19:47] guntbert: if you "mount" an SMB share by browsing to it (under "Network") from Nautilus, it will only then be available to Nautilus [19:47] Maverick released on 10.october but no option to upgrade in update-manager??? [19:47] taiyal: though I have, I only wanted to understand a little about what is/was happening under the hood [19:48] Hello everyone [19:48] tata photon+ is a usb modem [19:48] mkquist: my dog encrypts me. :) [19:48] lol [19:48] raven_, it's a non-lts release, you might have to enable non-lts in the software sources [19:48] guntbert: it may be in your ~/.gvfs directory somewhere.. I rarely do it that way [19:49] guntbert: in 10.04, Nautilus-mounted SMB shares were fully accessible via their mount points in ~/.gvfs/ . I used to use symlinks to those mount points in lieu of Ubuntu providing a sane way for applications other than Nautilus to access SMB shares. [19:49] mkquist: I encrypted my dog once...v but I forget the password so now it want listen to me ;) [19:49] ironsight, tnx [19:49] Dr_Willis: no real issues here - I only wanted (in passing by) gather a little more knowledge :-) [19:50] please i am need of a suggestion to get that modem working on ubuntu. It works fine with windows.. [19:50] raven_, goto update manager, click settings, you should see release upgrade, make sure it's set to Normal Releases [19:50] guntbert: However, in 10.10 those mount points are gone, leaving only Nautilus and a few compatible GNOME applications able to access SMB shares. This set of applications sadly does not encompass Chromium, leaving one unable to download files from Chromium into an SMB location. [19:50] what is htye? [19:50] taiyal: understood, thx for the explanation [19:51] yagoo hey man do you know how to restore my default boot setup? [19:51] yagoo you know the original 10.04 boot setup [19:52] hi people! has anyone tried installing ubuntu on a macbook? is it even possible? ) [19:52] i got my netbook today :) [19:52] !mac [19:52] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [19:52] progre55, if it's intel.. many people have.. [19:52] dowloading ubuntu 10.4 now [19:52] guntbert: should I file this as a bug against Nautilus? [19:53] twinkie_addict, you know 10.10 is out? [19:53] progre55, you'll need to look into the refti project [19:53] yagoo: umm.. is macbook air intel? =) I dont have one yet, but thinking to buy.. [19:53] yes but 10.4 is lts [19:53] (rather "refit" project) [19:53] kk :) [19:53] can i restore the original default boot settings of 10.04? [19:53] What are mime types..? [19:53] Hello everyone :), i have a question. I used (sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda) to try and fix my mbr for windows 7 after uninstalling ubuntu 9.10 and it only made it worse. now i cant even see my c drive when i boot to the cd. so i reinstalled ubuntu 9.10 and i still can't see the c drive. can n e 1 help PLZ??? :( [19:54] progre55, http://refit.sourceforge.net/ [19:54] taiyal: not reproducible here, I just mounted a hare with nautilus and got the mountpoint in ~.gvfs [19:54] but I dont want to switch ubuntu to osx ) [19:54] !mime [19:54] *share [19:54] Kartagis, mime types is like, what way to use different files [19:54] yagoo: thanks, I'll have a look at it [19:54] n e 1? [19:55] progre55, I would personally use the installer dvd to shrink (if possible) the hfs+ partition.. [19:55] taiyal: wild idea: do you run nautilus as someone else (root...)? [19:55] guntbert: Interesting. Thank you for testing, I'll now go and double-check the behaviour I was describing [19:55] chango93230: what is the output of sudo fdisk -l [19:55] guntbert: No, I run it as taiyal [19:55] karthick87 hold on i'll check again [19:55] progre55, or u can use possibly some other tips to shrink the hfs+ partition... but am not too sure how efficient bootcamp would be.. [19:55] So, I formatted my SSD and swithced to Ubuntu/Linux full time as of today. Yay! [19:55] heya. Trying to build a kernel for ubuntu 10.04 & 10.10. I misserably fail to boot them. Seems like I am missing something importent. The init just hangs mid boot process, --verbose doesn't show much relevant. Is there some guide for required CONFIG_ options for custom kernels? [19:55] :) [19:56] guntbert: I'll be back in about 10 minutes, I'm now going to reboot into 10.10 again to see if the unwanted behaviour has stopped. [19:56] the kernel worked just fine in 9.10 with the old init [19:56] yagoo: okay, thanks. but how about the compatibility? the keys, etc. do they all work? [19:56] taiyal: Good luck :-) [19:56] can i restore the original default boot settings of 10.04? [19:56] Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes [19:56] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders [19:56] Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [19:56] Disk identifier: 0x9d450f4e [19:56] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [19:56] /dev/sda1 1 1567 12582912 27 Unknown [19:56] /dev/sda2 * 1567 1580 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS [19:56] After I installed 10.10, I couldn't find my photo and name on the Me Menu. Is this a bug? I have Indicator-me installed, and my photo integrated. [19:56] chango93230: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:56] yagoo: say, if I install and boot it from an external hard, would it work? [19:57] sda3 is the windows 7 [19:57] progre55, you probably don't need refit to boot from usb.. I'm just guessing-- you'd best ask #refit [19:57] is it possible to connect to two modems of the same type at the same time using WVDIAL? [19:57] oops [19:57] or some similar discussion channel.. [19:57] I was looking at how to mount my windows drives, and accidentally mounted the wrong one. Is there a way to unmount it, without causing harm to the files? [19:58] karthick87 u there? [19:58] I tried sudo unmount. [19:58] wait a min [19:58] yagoo: cool, thanks man, appreciate [19:58] k === ng_ is now known as NG_ [19:58] Anybody here know anything about the Asterisk PBX? [19:59] progre55, http://refit.sourceforge.net/help/usb_disk.html -- your firmware may support usb boot.. btw you may wish to see if there's an apple update for your efifirmware... [19:59] chango93230, just make sure u didnt delete windows 7,, if u havnt u will just need to put in the windows OS and fix errors<< (repair my computer) option [19:59] justinthetechguy, I think they have their own irc channel #asterisk [20:00] yagoo: I havent got a macbook yet, next week [20:00] ok [20:00] can i restore the original default boot settings of 10.04? [20:00] yagoo: I really want the mac design, but not a fan of osx) [20:00] noone has a suggestion for it? :) [20:01] progre55, you should keep an install of osx, just for those simple firmware updates.. [20:01] yagoo: sure thing =) [20:01] sweet, I have my dual boot working again. Thanks for the help [20:01] windows still there but i tried a repair disk and it shows an error of... status: 0xc00000e9 [20:01] TheCommieDuck: its sudo umount (not uNmount) [20:01] progre55, you'd probably be able to shrink the hfs+ partition to about 7-8 gigs.. [20:01] progre55, OSX is the only reason you should be paying a Mac premium in my opinion (because you can get a laptop with pretty much the same hardware for less then half the cost) [20:02] guntbert: Ah, ok. Thanks. [20:02] cannot log into live cd it neded a username and password what should i do? [20:02] progre55, if u never intend to use osx... there's no point in buying a macbook [20:02] ciao [20:02] if i would have took the time to burn the repair disk ahead of time i could have avoided this withbootrec /fixmbr [20:02] If I umount the partition (which is the windows system partition), will it affect anything? [20:02] lolo: the username is ubuntu, the password is empty [20:02] TheCommieDuck: big Stalin fan? [20:03] progre55, www.linux-laptop.net/ [20:03] tried that didnot work [20:03] magicianlord: Not amazingly, username comes from something I drew a few years back. [20:03] test34: yeah actually now I'm trying to find a vaio, but I want the same sexy-looking design =) [20:03] can i restore the original default boot settings of 10.04? [20:03] maybe communist mario also. remember that? heh [20:03] TheCommieDuck: no, the system will only unmount it if there are no files open on it [20:03] hi [20:03] yagoo: thanks) [20:04] chango93230, go into your BIOS on boot and set the boot to it's default settings.. think its f9 or f10 shortkey,, something like that# [20:04] !ot | magicianlord [20:04] magicianlord: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:21] how can i change my time? got dualboot win7 and ubuntu lucid....and i got this problem from updating in my ubuntu...gpg error.....someone told me it might be from my time that doesnt sync from the actual time as he had said....or maybe from my win7 sys time doesnt sync on my ubuntu system time.... :( [20:21] brontoeee, virtual machine? [20:21] ok i will go to my live cd and then i will come back [20:21] test34, is that the only way? [20:21] thank you guntbert [20:21] brontoeee: a virtual system would be the easiest [20:21] ok, thanks test34 & Dulak [20:21] brontoeee, you could get another real machine === Pilif12p is now known as GoHawks [20:22] Bo [20:22] Hi, can anyone tell me how to uninstall UBUNTU? [20:23] bodavis6: you don't "uninstall" an operating system. you can overwrite it with some other operating system. [20:23] bodavis6, just format the partition or repartition your HD [20:23] is it possible to get the computer to stop asking me for a keyring everytime i connect to a wireless network> [20:23] Is it possible to find out which particular thread is being used during communication as part of DBus, when running application? [20:23] ? [20:23] I installed it under windows. [20:23] bodavis6: In that case just uninstall like any other program [20:24] Is it a file on the hard drive? [20:24] bodavis6: via Control Panel->Uninstall programs [20:24] I find no unistall routine [20:24] No information to do so. [20:24] bodavis6, it's probably called wubi in your appinstalled list [20:24] Thank you. [20:25] Can I install any version of Real Player in Ubuntu? [20:25] NameError: global name 'channel' is not defined (file "/home/shashi/phenny/modules/logger.py", line 123, in save_logs) [20:25] Okay, so I have a system with multiple version of Ubuntu on different partitions, and I'm trying to get the grub menu to show them all. update-grub finds all of them, but the resulting grub.cfg doesn't list what update-grub said. Any idea why? [20:25] NameError: global name 'channel' is not defined (file "/home/shashi/phenny/modules/logger.py", line 123, in save_logs) [20:26] bodavis6: https://player.helixcommunity.org/ is equivalent to realplayer on Linux [20:26] NameError: global name 'channel' is not defined (file "/home/shashi/phenny/modules/logger.py", line 123, in save_logs) [20:26] Hello [20:26] ... [20:26] bodavis6: there are .deb downloads [20:26] ... [20:26] SmokeyNITK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:26] bodavis6, when I installed ubuntu ultimate edition it came with it installed, so I figure there is a way :) [20:26] ... [20:26] errr [20:26] ive just made a bad configuration in my sudoers file.. how do i fix it ? [20:26] bodavis6: I'm not sure you need it if you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed though... I never use real media files to test [20:26] evon: yes, it is possible though not recommended [20:27] sniperjo, use visudo to edit sudoers file [20:27] NameError: global name 'channel' is not defined (file "/home/shashi/phenny/modules/logger.py", line 123, in save_logs) [20:27] guntbert. how do i do it? [20:28] Does anyone know any good docks? I mean other than AWN, Cairo Dock. It needs to have a network manager and be able to be on the side of the sceen without a problem. [20:28] test34: ok, but i cant use visudo now, because im not root [20:28] Canadian_Pirate, maybe docky, ask in the #docky [20:28] sniperjo, ~$ sudo visudo [20:28] Ok. Thanks brontoeee [20:29] test34: ? [20:29] evon: open applications/accessories/passwordsAnd encryption [20:29] Canadian_Pirate, it will take the side if you generate a new dock, not sure how to handle that if there is only one.. [20:29] sniperjo, use sudo to gain superuser privileges [20:30] test34: i cant, i just made a bad config in my sudoers [20:30] ] [20:30] Hello , I've got a major problem with firefox. Sometimes without any reason when I right click on a web page's flash object the firefox stuck any idea ? [20:30] On resetting a macbook with 10.10 installed I have lost all keyboard input. Can anyone help me or give me a place to start? [20:30] guntbert. I have no such option [20:30] youyou [20:30] sniperjo, oh yes sorry next time you'll know.. for now, you could boot with the live CD and mount your root partition and fix it [20:30] Shai124, not firefox problem.. it's flash.. [20:30] brontoeee I have tried docky before, but have not found a network manager. I am asking on #docky [20:30] Shai124, try upgrading flash? [20:31] guntbert. nvm. i'm trying to take it off a xubuntu system. guess i'm in the challenge [20:31] Hey, i have just ran an update, and now my plymouth themes are set to the text version, so instead of the nice ubuntu logo i get white text saying ubuntu 10.10, any help with that? [20:31] guntbert. nvm. i'm trying to take it off a xubuntu system. guess i'm in the wrong channel [20:31] Is there a way for me to enable notification daemon under lxdm? [20:31] Canadian_Pirate, there is, want a screenshot? ;) [20:31] lindsaymobil22, try to reinstall your theme ? [20:32] lindsaymobil22: Could be a regression in a graphics driver? I know if you install the Nvidia closed source drivers for example you get an ugly loading screen at boot [20:32] yagoo: how can i upgrade flash ? (i am new to Ubuntu) [20:32] evon: well I don't know if that tool exists there, but try to run seahorse there [20:32] guntbert : is says authentication failure [20:32] test34: plymouth themes are when booting, I don't think it can be changed (easily)? [20:32] bronteee Sure. Can you move to #docky, so we don't clutter this channel [20:32] does enyone have problems with truecrypt on 10.10? [20:32] lolo: let me try [20:33] Stuart__, I thought this was some customization to the default Ubuntu theme [20:33] ok [20:33] Stuart__ I dont get that problem [20:33] Shai124, well if u want the simplest solution to try and see if it's either the video driver or flash.. try googlechrome(has flash builtin).. if u get the same symptom with googlechrome, then u should try seeing if u using the proper videodriver [20:33] which program can I use to record video and audio from tvcard [20:33] Stuart__, i use integrated intel gma [20:34] I can mount any volume in truecrypt, I get" mount: you must specify the filesystem type" or passwd is incorect error [20:34] SpiderFred, latest version of tc is v7 [20:34] lindsaymobil22: sounds similar to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/555640 [20:34] I am an old MS user and I can't figure out how to install anything on Ubuntu unless it's in the software center. [20:35] how can i change my time? got dualboot win7 and ubuntu lucid....and i got this problem from updating in my ubuntu...gpg error.....someone told me it might be from my time that doesnt sync from the actual time as he had said....or maybe from my win7 sys time doesnt sync on my ubuntu system time.... :( [20:35] terrenceTK, maybe ffmpeg [20:35] lolo: step by step: what happens when you boot - do get the menu to select "try ..." ? [20:35] no [20:35] test34, thanks [20:35] yagoo, I have latest I just downloaded it [20:35] I think Linux is for programming professionals only. [20:35] terrenceTK, vlc, mplayer [20:35] bobavis6 Download DEB packages, then double click them. Also you can use "apt-get" to download packages. [20:36] lolo: then it is not the live CD, what do you get instead? [20:36] noob-tux, have them both to UTC.. http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/2000/Q_21802612.html [20:36] Hi, I've tryed looking for mod_rewrite for apache in the repositories, anyone know what the package may be called other than libapache2-mod-rewrite? [20:36] brontoeee: vlc won play my audio from /dev/dsp [20:36] it gave me the ubuntu background and in the bottem of it keyboard figure [20:36] i installed ubuntu by this cd [20:36] Thor^^: libapache2-mod-proxy-html [20:36] noob-tux, same registry location for the later windows as well [20:37] I downloaded the deb packages then double clicked on them... it asked for a location so I gave C:\Helix then it did nothing except copy it's files there. [20:37] Stuart__: thanks J [20:37] Thor^^: oops that's wrong [20:37] It didn't install. [20:37] noob-tux, have linux hwsync the clock.. [20:37] lolo: please use my nick or I might overlook your answer - on that screen you press a key and get what? [20:37] bodavis6, there is no c:\ on linux [20:38] test34,brontoeee: Thanks guys - Ill try mplayer [20:38] terrenceTK, something like this: /usr/bin/ffmpeg -r 24 -t 30 -s 720x480 -vd /dev/video0 -ad /dev/dsp -tvstd NTSC -deinterlace tvout.avi [20:38] Thor^^: It's already installed, you just have to enable mod rewrite in your httpd.conf [20:38] Oh, well it said it made one... [20:38] terrenceTK, might need to adjust resolution or other settings [20:38] Brontoeee. I just want to be able to watch movies on my computer. [20:38] Thanks test34 [20:38] Can't find a way to do that. [20:39] Stuart__: never mind, rewrite.load is located in mods-available, so all is needed to symlink it to mods-enabled [20:39] guntbert : i donot press any key i wait until it goes to the login screen [20:39] bodavis6, what kind of movies? what are their extensions? online movies (give the example url?)? [20:40] lolo: did you even boot from the CD, could be you are looking at your own system's log in [20:40] Just rented movies. I can watch anything I rent on Windows. [20:40] brontoeee, I want to learn LINUX but it's very difficult. [20:40] i put the cd and the first boot is from cd [20:41] bodavis6: Have you search google for "Play DVD ubuntu"? [20:41] Does anyone here use Flyback? [20:41] Um. Sorry, I have another question. [20:41] how do i check to see what video card driver i am using? [20:41] bodavis6, DVDs? [20:41] When I boot up, (since I dual boot), the default choice is windows not ubuntu. How can I change this? [20:41] Brontoeee, no I haven't, I just supposed that a video player on Ubuntu would have the necessary codecs. [20:42] I looked around and it said to change stuff to do with grub. The screenshot seems to be of the second window, though. [20:42] Brontoeee, yes, DVD's [20:42] guntbert: i put the cd and the first boot is from cd [20:42] bodavis6: That would require licensing/fees to Canonical [20:42] how is the onboard graphics suport for dels netbooks in ubuntu ? [20:42] mainly 3d exel ? [20:42] bodavis6, just install vlc, that should do the trick, i think it is in the repos [20:43] lolo: listen to the drive - does it really boot from it? [20:43] Brontoeee, why can't I install Real's deb player in UBUNTU? [20:43] On resetting a macbook with 10.10 installed I have lost all keyboard input. Can anyone help me or give me a place to start? [20:43] i.e. the first says: 'Windows XP Home, Ubuntu' and the second is something like 'Ubuntu 10.10 generic, Ubuntu 10.10 generic (safe recovery), Windows XP Home' [20:43] guntbert : yes [20:43] I will look for vlc. Thanks. [20:43] bodavis6, why realplayer? i dont think realplayer can play dvds [20:43] Sure it can, [20:44] guntbert: should i download the live cd again ? [20:44] TheCommieDuck, change "default" choice in the grub conf.. numbering starts from 0 [20:44] Even quicktime. [20:44] figured id ask wile unbootin is getting ubuntu [20:44] brontoeee, does quicktime have a LINUX version? [20:44] bodavis6, no [20:44] bodavis6, not that i know of [20:44] yagoo: I was going to do that, http://www.hackourlives.com/change-default-boot-order-for-grub-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat/ like that article...but the grub screen is shows is the second one I get. I get one before it. [20:44] Ok, I'll look for VLC. Thanks everyone. [20:44] bodavis6, but there are libquicktimes having nothing to do with apple and are not 100 percent [20:45] I wasn't sure if that affected it. [20:45] lolo: sorry, that seems impossible to me, before you download it again please run and md5 check on the iso file from which you burnt the CD [20:45] *run an md5 check.... [20:46] ok thank you guntbert [20:46] guntbert. well i have seahorse up and running now. what should i do? [20:46] If anyone knows awn well join me an #AWN [20:47] evon: on the first page (passwords) there is a "folder" passwords:login [20:47] guntbert. ok got it [20:47] evon: right click on that, select "change password" [20:48] guntbert. ok ... [20:48] guys im running live cd how do i find what drivers are running? [20:48] ubuntu, lsmod ? [20:49] Is there a VirtualBox (Vbox) channel? [20:49] thanks test34 [20:49] evon: enter your system password in the 1st field, let the other two empty, select ok, you get a warning, read it, confirm what you want to do [20:49] kai696: #vbox [20:49] i need to copy the /etc/apt/ folder from the install cd, wher eis it located? [20:50] where is* [20:50] test34, is this what it looks like? [20:50] http://pastebin.com/7J6keiUe [20:50] guntbert. thanks a million [20:50] ubuntu, it lists modules that are in use/loaded [20:50] hello [20:51] ubuntu, is it what it looked like? [20:51] evon: you're welcome :-) but keep in mind that in that folder may be more sensible data than just the wlan key, have a look what is actually stored there... [20:51] Hmm. [20:51] how do i do a video passthrough without reencode in handbrake, cause i just want to not have subs [20:51] my kubuntu has been updated with last pakages but it crashed at the end, and i think the grub was not updated, and i still boot on the previous kernel [20:51] thanks guntbert [20:51] how can i modify correctly my grub?? [20:51] kai696: cu there :-) [20:51] guntbert. this is not my main system. it's just a media centre PC that will be accessing files from my network [20:52] looking for my graphics driver test34 [20:52] bsmith093, what file is it? [20:52] I tried sudo fdisk -l to try and list all the partitions I had, but it doesn't list (and it doesn't show up as a mountable disk drive in the file viewer) the partition ubuntu is installed on. Can I access this partition? [20:52] rouls, follow any hints, you may need to use "## " [20:52] evon: thats ok with me, just have a look please [20:52] ubuntu, i915 I think ? [20:52] avi [20:52] or "# " i forget.. [20:52] * noobuntu reboot :p [20:53] guntbert. will do thanks [20:53] bsmith093, and the subs are burned in or what? [20:53] evon: no problem :) have fun! [20:53] thanks test34 [20:53] np ubuntu [20:53] brontoeee: no they arent burned in i can turn them off but id rather not have them at all [20:54] TheCommieDuck, you may be using "gpt" styled partition table-- fdisk can't list gpt style.. [20:54] yagoo: It lists all my other partitions? [20:54] TheCommieDuck, on the same harddrive? [20:54] bsmith093, then there is a separate file next to that avi, delete it [20:54] brontoeee: theyr not a seperate srt file they are muxed into the avi by handbrake and i want them out preferably w/o a reencode [20:55] yagoo: I have the harddrive, then...5 windows partitions? (System, programs, gaming, documents, media). The Ubuntu was installed on the programs one, and it's the only one not showing up. [20:56] TheCommieDuck, are you using Wubi ? [20:56] bsmith093, no idea handbrake can still do avi in the 1st place, have you tried avidemux? [20:56] yagoo, I might be. But I downloaded and burned the image of the ubuntu installer since it was 10.10 and wubi was 10.4. Though I am dual booting with windows. [20:57] oh sorry i meant mp4 [20:57] bsmith093: check out openshot .. it's in the repo [20:57] !panels [20:57] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [20:57] 10.10 uses different booter [20:57] TheCommieDuck, then don't touch anything to do with the bootloader/partitions.. just leave it as it is.. [20:57] bsmith093, use mp4box, should be in the repos [20:57] yagoo: Ok then, I was just trying to mount the partitions. [20:57] bsmith093, its a cli app [20:57] so which is it openshot or mp4box [20:58] TheCommieDuck, if you don't know if you're using wubi.. you shouldn't be touching anything sensitive that can disrupt the bootloading [20:58] mp4box [20:58] hello guys ! i installed git-core but when i type git clone git://git.cinelerra.org/j6t/cinelerra.git my_cinelerra it gives me a problem [20:58] bsmith093: missed the first part of what you were trying to accomplish.. but openshot is a fairly decent video editor/transcoder [20:58] yagoo: I think I am using wubi; as the installer asked me, I chose to run alongside windows. [20:58] NO, I did gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel and now I got 1 panel [20:59] Hello [20:59] I want my default setup back! [20:59] !panels [20:59] TheCommieDuck, linux is running within a loopback file.. [20:59] some help please [20:59] bsmith093, warning: do all the tests on the copy of the movie [20:59] Hello can someone help me with a ATI driver problem? [20:59] TheCommieDuck, it's complex to explain it.. but you're not running the ideal linux setup.. [20:59] !panels [21:00] yagoo, I know I'm not. [21:00] some help please ! [21:00] Say it ain't so [21:00] Can anybody help me? [21:01] Help! [21:01] I did gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel and now my panels are messed up [21:01] !help | sommer07, amine [21:01] sommer07, amine: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:01] TheCommieDuck, an idea of a loopbackfile is this-> mounting a regular file (eg: mycdromimage.iso), and making it appear as a physical drive.. Linux is seeing itself on ext2 or ext3 -- but it is all in a "file" on ntfs.. [21:01] i installed git-core but when i type git clone git://git.cinelerra.org/j6t/cinelerra.git my_cinelerra it gives me a problem [21:02] yagoo, I think I see you. [21:02] TheCommieDuck, don't try to understand it.. because it is too hard to explain without illustrations [21:02] yagoo, Linux cannot mount the ntfs because it sees itself on there, and therefore cannot mount itself? [21:03] Come on people, this is important [21:03] hey guys, i am on live cd im at the partion i set it for 241gb but its been at 0% now for the last 4 minutes its not moving, i opend an app to think it may work to get it going the app opened fine but its not moving from 0% on the partition [21:03] Ok, so my 3D isn't working I have installed the drivers and the glxinfo hangs at Name of display : I have tried the drivers from their site aswell... I have ATI Radeon HD 5750 and SSE(1,2,3) capable intell processor [21:03] TheCommieDuck, you're confused already :p.. the point of wubi is not to look at all at this stuff but to toy around the desktop.. [21:03] i installed git-core but when i type git clone git://git.cinelerra.org/j6t/cinelerra.git my_cinelerra it gives me a problem [21:03] !panels [21:03] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:03] TheCommieDuck, you can toy around the shell.. but don't touch anything to do with partitions/bootloader.. [21:04] anyone? [21:04] yagoo, I probably am confused. :P [21:04] Help! that command ubottu gives doesn't give me the 2 panels [21:04] i need to copy the /etc/apt/ folder from the install cd, where is it located? [21:04] I guess I'll just have to reinstall a couple of programs then. [21:04] just installed python2.5 doesnt this language got a GUI? if it does how can i have one on my distro? === king is now known as Guest58569 [21:04] GoldenFish4U: if we don't know we don't know, please don't spam the channel [21:04] but this is horrible [21:04] I can't work like this anymore [21:04] hello? [21:05] Does anybody know what I can do [21:05] GoldenFish4U: you need two panels? [21:05] GoldenFish4U: what's your issue? [21:05] k5673, I did "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel" and it messed up, now I have 1 panel with a weird setup [21:05] Hey guys [21:05] TheCommieDuck, if u want to play with partitions.. you should install virtualbox.. then you can do anything without worries.. [21:05] I came here to be a nice and constructive chatter [21:05] TheCommieDuck, anything, meaning within the virtualbox of course [21:06] hey guys, i am on live cd im at the partion i set it for 241gb but its been at 0% now for the last 4 minutes its not moving, i opend an app to think it may work to get it going the app opened fine but its not moving from 0% on the partition [21:06] What is the fastest way for me to get 0.9.2 compiz in Meerkat? [21:06] Can anyone think of why the same nvidia driver settings on different ubuntu installs using the same screen have different model names? [21:06] GoldenFish4U: just right click on the panel and create a new one [21:06] and add parts to it [21:06] magicianlord, I want the default setup [21:06] GoldenFish4U: You can try apt-get remove --purge gnome-panel, then apt-get install gnome-panel [21:06] GoldenFish4U: Dirty and quick [21:06] yagoo, all I really wanted to do was access the data on my windows partitions from linux (since I'm finally trying giving up on windows). [21:06] that command should work, why did it mess up? [21:06] it's easy to replicate the default [21:06] i dont know what command. maybe its the wrong command [21:07] No, I did "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel" before [21:07] and it worked then [21:07] Does anybody have a solution to my problem? [21:07] GoldenFish4U: Configuration issues.... Any tool is unbeatable [21:07] TheCommieDuck, you can't mount the ntfs partition the Linux loopbackfile is on. [21:07] I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I'm all out of bubblegum. [21:07] GoldenFish4U: open up the terminal, run the killall first, then the former part second [21:07] separately [21:07] ok [21:07] yagoo, ok. That shouldn't stop me mounting the other partitions. [21:07] I thikn. [21:07] *think [21:08] TheCommieDuck, I have no idea.. [21:08] yagoo, ok. Thanks for the help. :) [21:08] sommer07: try to use again the radeon module [21:08] that didnt work magicianlord [21:08] sommer07: not fglrx [21:08] hello? [21:08] ok. then right click on the panel and create a new one at the top or bottom, then add custom menu, window by button list, and notification area [21:09] guys this is getting creepy [21:09] but why did it suddenly mess up? [21:09] :( [21:09] What is the fastest way for me to get 0.9.2 compiz in Meerkat? [21:09] ubuntu: why? [21:09] hey~ my ubuntu 10.04 recently shows a problem of moving around windows, when the bottom edge of one windows touches the top edge of another window, those windows can only move one direction--horizontally toward the right, no matter which direction I actually want to move them, anyone has similar experiences? I am using ubuntu in vbox so it might be a problem with vbox as well, just asking for ideas, thanks! [21:09] my resizing partition to install ubuntu will not move from 0% [21:10] GoldenFish4U: i dont know gnome. i run openbox [21:10] k5673: What? I'm sorry I'm kinda new with linux [21:10] ok [21:10] i mean, i use gnome, just not primarily [21:10] i structure my own desktop with componentns [21:10] ubuntu: duh..? and restarting installation wouldn't help? :< [21:10] sommer07: you say you have problems with 3d for an ATI GPU, right?

A forum said to install gnome mplayer but still does not work [22:06] yes, Maverick :) [22:07] ubuntu should come with vlc [22:07] vlc is not here [22:07] JoshuaL check here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/training/course-descriptions [22:07] new upstart is a goo [22:08] aint working why [22:08] awnsers [22:08] but still, vlc does not play video/x-asf I guess [22:08] it plays a lot more than mplayer [22:08] gabe_: You can install it from the software center. It will play wmv's [22:08] !info vlc [22:08] which is zero, unless you're connected to the net [22:08] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.4-1ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 1998 kB, installed size 4508 kB [22:08] let's see... I'll install it right now then [22:08] hey all [22:09] !info vlc lucid [22:09] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.2 (lucid), package size 1598 kB, installed size 3792 kB [22:09] gabe_: Then it might play choppy. We will get to that once you see it playing [22:09] how can i disable apache from autostarting on startup? [22:09] I have ubuntu 10.10 with encryoted partition, but today I try to boot and it says init not found [22:09] i want the opusite i want arpwatch and sendmail on boot again [22:09] /etc/default/grub <-- If there's a # before a line does that mean it's commented out? [22:10] adv_: use sysv-rc-conf for example [22:10] Sir_Konrad: Yep [22:10] can vlc also play .mpg videos? [22:10] is there any way to control zoom and stuff on a webcam? [22:10] yeah I can see that coming. Gnome Mplayer played them on Fedora but I really wanted to try Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and now I can't get it to play those video/x-asf videos :( [22:10] rigved: Yep [22:10] thanks FishFace. :) [22:10] I have now booted with a live cd, how do I mount the encrypted partiton ? Device /dev/sda5 is not a valid LUKS device [22:11] Is there a location to verify if a piece of hardware is supported with Ubuntu? [22:11] !hardware | owner [22:11] owner: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [22:11] owner: probably your best bet [22:11] do I need any additional package with vlc or it's going to play the wmv videos as soon as it's installed? [22:11] FishFace, can I have a break in a line of code in that file? [22:12] or should I have it be all in one line, FishFace? [22:12] thank you [22:12] gabe_: You will also want to try Gstreamer. Add that in also [22:13] Sir_Konrad: No #'s in the middle of the lines will stop anything if that is what you mean [22:13] ok I'll add it when vlc finish installing :) [22:13] gabe_: vlc will play almost all formats out of the box, and you can also use it to view and record your webcam, and listen to radio stations or tv shows [22:14] wow that's awesome. I didn't know so [22:14] evening everyone [22:14] gabe_: Its all you will ever use :) [22:14] any remote virt-manager users here? [22:14] that's why i said it should be included with ubuntu [22:15] ok bad news: it doesn't play the videos :( [22:15] While ./config ing cheese it giving configure: error: Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.40.0 or later....can any one help me out [22:15] No suitable decoder module: [22:15] VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. [22:15] does anybody here have any experience installing ubuntu (10.10) on a software raid (raid-0) root partition? I tried installing it, and it did install but after reboot grub doesn't see the md0p0 partition... any ideas? [22:15] that's the message I get, the audio is all I get [22:15] never heard of mss2 [22:16] mtemmerm: did you install from cd or usb [22:16] I used to have the same setup with Debian but that was several years back... [22:16] magicianlord: cd [22:16] CD [22:16] ok, no idea [22:16] i had an issue with usb installer [22:16] I was interested in a Hauppauge 2250 but it looks like the newest support was over 3 years ago for the Nova-T. [22:16] mplayer asks for this: video/x-asf which I found out to be a windows thing [22:16] thanks FishFace. Rebooting. :) [22:17] well, the installation went fine, md0 device spanned over 3 scsi disks, installer put everything in place, boot partition is on a separate ide drive i use for data [22:17] gabe_: What is the file extension again? [22:17] well, the video itself says name.wmv but when I open it, mplayer searches for video/x-asf [22:17] Is there another location for drivers/support for the Hauppauge HVR-2250? [22:17] grub finds the boot partition but then can't mount / on /dev/md0p0 because it doesn't ... well... exist at that point [22:17] :) [22:18] gabe_: Hold on [22:18] when I right click on it to see its properties, it says Windows Media Video video/x-asf as Type [22:18] ok [22:19] hey guys i am having trouble with an iptable policy, i want a policy that will block all transmissions that are destoned for eth0, but in doing so i block the initial vpn connection. here is my policy: http://pastebin.com/g8jaxwGa this line in particular 'iptables -A OUTPUT -o "$ethdev" -j DROP', it says i cannot access the tun tap device when it is enables. the policy compensates by allowing connection through the tun device, but the initial con [22:19] nection is obviously not going through. where am i going wrong? :S === Lenin_Cat is now known as Elder_God [22:19] gabe_: Looking around for a solution. You are not alone [22:20] The_Janitor: try #netfilter [22:20] The_Janitor: #netfilter sorry [22:20] ok [22:20] ty [22:20] thank you so much. That's why I switched to Ubuntu, its community is undoubtedly the best [22:20] is there any way to control zoom and stuff on a webcam? [22:21] I just upgraded my server from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10, and Samba started panicking/segfaulting every day. If you had that problem, would you upgrade to the newest version, or downgrade to the older working version? [22:21] resc: you can't downgrade === Elder_God is now known as Lenin_Cat [22:21] ikonia, i could try and pin samba to the older version [22:21] resc: it won't work, but your welcome to try [22:21] ikonia, ok, that's good to know [22:22] hello . is there a way to install the drivers that come with the graphic card in ubuntu 10.10? [22:22] acidubthird: what graphics card ? [22:23] ikonia : a xfx 5200 nvidia [22:23] acidubthird: if you go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers menu, you should be able to enable supported nvidia kernel drivers [22:23] Is it or does chromium loose its search engines between starts and restarts and log ons and offs. [22:24] It is quite anoying to have re add them all the time. [22:24] ikonia : those dont work well. [22:24] acidubthird: define "not well" [22:25] I installed the latest Kubuntu via Wubi two days ago, the wireless connection manager sees a wireless network available (not mine), but it won't connect to mine (not-broadcasted) even though I've entered the configuration information. [22:25] when using web browser firefox i get black screens and after a while computer stuck [22:25] http://pastebin.com/S6R47QNc [22:25] How do I fix that? [22:25] dpkg isn't installing dependencies. [22:26] MindVirus: check your repos [22:26] MindVirus: dpkg isn't supposed to install dependencies [22:26] I have it. [22:26] ikonia: libportaudio2 is in the Ubuntu repos.

[22:27] MindVirus: dpkg doesn't pull in deps [22:27] MindVirus: install the dep manually [22:27] i just see -1ubuntu1 appended all the time and im wondering [22:27] I really don't want to do that. [22:27] MindVirus: then you can't install it [22:27] MindVirus: sure it is. It tells you that dpkg does not install dependencies. You are expecting it to do something it does not do... Just double click on your .deb if you are sure it is meant for your ubuntu version [22:27] olá galera blz [22:28] The problem is that it is unauthenticated and the stupid Ubuntu Software Center won't install it. [22:28] hi i lose a folder with lots of pictures in it [22:28] sou novo no ubuntu ou seja no linx [22:28] anybody know how i can find it [22:28] MindVirus: and when you double click? [22:28] MindVirus: your using dpkg - so install the dependency, then re-use dpkg to install it [22:28] jrib: That's what I'm talking about. [22:28] tem como alguem me ajuda a instalar uma parada aqui [22:28] gabe_: Not getting anywhere. Still looking [22:28] ikonia: Yes, but that will make the dependency manually installed.

[23:46] hey guys i just installed ubuntu and at startup i get this fuzzy screen, but then it cuts on, is that okay or should i redownload ubuntu and try to reinstall to make sure its okay. although everything seems fine its just that so i dont know if its faulty. [23:46] exit [23:47] ljsoftnet: An error message of some sort [23:47] exit [23:47] mbroeker, now a lot of "mysql" strings are highlightend in the output [23:47] Although perhaps I don't know what you mean by blank window when you boot up. Are you referring to logging in X doesn't start or what? [23:47] GentooGeoff i think there's no error [23:48] somebodu cam help me with the headphone jack sensor?? it is not working [23:48] GentooGeoff i cant find any [23:48] anybody else get a fuzzy screen when they startup there pc? [23:48] pw-toxic, without mysql, the screen would be empty. you can assume that php5-mysql is installed [23:48] mbroeker, so why is phpmyadmin telling me that the mysql extension is missing? [23:49] You need to uncomment the mysql extension libraries in your php.ini file [23:49] someone know === GoHawks is now known as HawksWin [23:49] know what? [23:50] GentooGeoff im referring to plymouth not showing up [23:50] ljsoftnet: Your splash file is missing probably [23:50] GentooGeoff you know how to fix it? [23:51] mbroeker, where do i find php.ini? [23:51] pw-toxic, check /etc/php5/conf.d/,mysql* [23:51] ljsoftnet: Try and see if this works, http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9537544 [23:52] is slow printing in ubuntu a common problem atm? [23:52] /ja [23:52] mbroeker, there is a mysql.ini with the content "extension=mysql.so" [23:52] pw-toxic, have you restarted your server? [23:52] mbroeker, several times but i do it once again to be sure === rizzuh_ is now known as rizzuh [23:52] pw-toxic, sudo service apache2 restart [23:53] /etc/init.d/apache2 restart i did do [23:53] ok [23:53] hi, how do I access a named (not anonymous) samba share from ubuntu? [23:53] mbroeker, restarted apache2 with init.d and service and still phpmyadmin doesnt work ;( [23:53] pw-toxic, now do: tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log and re-visit myadmin [23:54] GentooGeoff i already tried this but still displays a blank screen [23:54] mbroeker: Have you tried following this guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [23:54] findsmb gives nothing, but on a windows xp computer it says it's sharing [23:54] of course not: i am a postgresql fanboy [23:54] ... [23:54] mbroeker, done [23:54] tem brasilero I ? [23:54] Oops, I meant that to be for pw-toxic [23:55] tem brasileiro ai ? [23:55] GentooGeoff, i try this guide now [23:55] i am stuck on a very low resource 250mb ram laptop. can someone tell me what man page describes removing encryption that was enabled during install of ubuntu? [23:55] TrimeR: tem mas vá ao #ubuntu-br [23:56] GentooGeoff, ah yes thats the guide i used... but i try it again from start ;) [23:56] valeu [23:57] kapu: Is this a new install? [23:57] yes [23:57] I would suggest just re-installing, it would be the fastest route [23:57] latest [23:57] And easiest [23:57] kapu: not sure if ubuntu actually encrypts the fs it was installed on, but you would save much ram by disabling encryption, you'd save a coupled of cpu cycles [23:57] *wouldn't [23:58] *couple [23:58] i see [23:58] It encrypts the home folder, not the entire fs iirc [23:58] in top it shows cpu top of list often [23:58] but not a lot, i'd work on other things like changing gnome to something lighter [23:58] kapu: what is this process called? [23:59] im using wmii [23:59] kcryptd [23:59] I would suggest re-installing kapu, unless you are good at working inside grub or chrooting.
