[01:38] I want to format a hdd, my problem is I have 2 identical harddrives, and I dont want to format them both. I did a "lshw -C disk" and a "df -h". Can I assume that sdb1 and sdb is the same disk and sdc is the 2nd disk? [01:39] paddy_: omitting directory 'Desktop/classes/' [01:39] im running under sudo [01:39] i will burn it to another cd [01:39] so [01:39] MdNtSnow: add -r [01:39] i guess [01:39] kingb: so it is not frozen on the gui startup screen anymore? [01:39] paddy: no, it is frozen on a black screen that says: [01:39] isolinux 4.01 debian-20100714 ETCD copyright (c) 1994-2010 H.

[01:41] paddy_: Ah! Can you tell me why I cant use all the space now on the drive. It's formatted with NTFS and I can copy around 100gb to it of 1500gb. Is that some sort of ntfs limitation in linux? [01:41] ShayGuy: no [01:42] xangua, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-xbmc-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick.html [01:42] * ShayGuy is relieved [01:42] this feel like a pain when im slightly drunk and its 1:42 AM [01:42] Plimmer: are you in gui or terminal? [01:42] terminal [01:43] MdNtSnow: you should read up on:: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [01:43] go to the mountpoint of the drive and run ls -la [01:43] bastidrazor: arleady told him that :) [01:43] paddy_: It lists the directories on it. [01:44] yeah [01:44] thanks [01:44] * paddy_ believes learinging linux terminal while drunk is difficult [01:44] i cannot get any windows space on my 3d sphere with compiz [01:44] see http://xkcd.com/323/ [01:44] i passed 3 of my final exams at university while slightly intoxicated [01:44] so i'll be fine [01:44] Plimmer: are there any starting with .? [01:45] Plimmer: are there any starting with a period? [01:45] Nope [01:45] I've got like 15 minutes before I have to unplug this Ethernet cable so I can recharge my laptop. Any advice? [01:45] Plimmer: is it compleatly empty? [01:45] The disk dosent show up in df either === LuxAeterna is now known as CGo [01:45] Nope, got the directory I was trying to copy over earlier [01:46] MdNtSnow: well, a "D" is passing lol [01:46] Plimmer: does it need to be formatted ntfs? [01:46] ShayGuy: buy a longer ethernet cable? [01:46] xenos: heh [01:46] Not at all, but it dosent need to perform all that good either, so thats why I tried with ntfs [01:46] xenos: by passing I mean with an A [01:46] Ease of use I guess. [01:46] paddy_: I mean about my wireless problem. [01:47] ShayGuy: lol, what problem? [01:47] The one I mentioned earlier. [01:47] Plimmer: internal or extermal? [01:47] internal [01:47] paddy_: [19:26] Hey. Still haven't fixed my Wicd wireless problem. No networks picking up. [01:48] paddy_: [19:28] It was working fine until Wednesday. Then it just stopped picking up wireless networks, and rebooting didn't help. [01:48] paddy_: [19:32] No matter what I do, it just says "No wireless networks found.", even when I'm six feet from the router. Ethernet works fine. [01:48] ShayGuy: whats the problem in breif? [01:48] Plimmer: I recomend you format it ext3 [01:48] having never used linux. I was disappointed when it didn't look like that computer in Jurassic Park [01:49] MdNtSnow: in terminal prefrances you can fix that [01:49] Just restarted the machine after a nasty memory leak. I can't get into GNOME (tty7 is stuck at "Checking battery state"), but I can get to (and am in) a text console on tty1. Any ideas? [01:49] paddy_: What I just said. Wicd stopped picking up wireless networks altogether on Wednesday. [01:49] paddy_: yeah, thanks for the time. :) [01:49] ejwaxx: try differnt tty concols it isnt always 7 [01:49] paddy_: I mean the famous scene where the little girl recognises unix with that 3d modular interface [01:50] paddy_: all the rest are just offering up console logins [01:50] ShayGuy: try ifconfig wlan0 up [01:50] paddy_: wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [01:50] ejwaxx: login and type gdm [01:51] ShayGuy: there's you problem! [01:52] ShayGuy: i've noticed wicd likes to make wireless eth1 [01:52] paddy_: ifconfig -a also shows eth1, so I tried the same with that. SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied [01:52] ShayGuy: iwconfig [01:52] ShayGuy: pastebin the whole output [01:53] ejwaxx: did loging in and typing gdm work? [01:53] Damn, out of battery power. [01:53] paddy_: no good...get a "Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager" error === shcherbak is now known as kshcherbak [01:54] ejwaxx: I just had a similar problem, maybe you need to make a new xorg.conf? [01:55] ejwaxx: read http://www.linux-solved.com/post/Failed-to-acquire-org-gnome-DisplayManager-solved-56693.html [01:55] ejwaxx: sudo nvidia-xconfig [01:55] ejwaxx: your situation might be different, but that's what solved mine [01:56] someguy223: thanks, but i think i'm in a different boat...i tried to rebuild it, and copied the xorg.conf over from backup, to no avail [01:57] My netbook won't use networking at all (wired OR wireless), can anyone suggest a place to start? [01:57] Evil_Otto: iwconfig [01:57] Evil_Otto: pastebin it [01:57] paddy: I can't paste it, what am I looking for? [01:58] Evil_Otto: pastebin.com [01:58] so. i'm trying to ssh raw into port 1194. [01:58] putty is not doing anything [01:58] Evil_Otto: paste the link it gives you [01:59] all of my themes are broken, when I try to load them there's always some quirk like something being the wrong color [01:59] ok, now my ubuntu install says: busybox v1.15.3 (ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/out error can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [01:59] paddy_: I don't see any link [01:59] are you asking about the interfaces? [01:59] i have a wlan1 [02:00] Evil_Otto: go on http://pastebin.com/ in the big box paste the whole of the output and press submit [02:00] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31zU_24z_s8 [02:00] Hey guys, can anyone help me? I am trying to see a java based site, but can't. I'm using chrome aka chromium. [02:00] I'm totally stumped. F2 through F4 don't work in byobu, a version of screen. They do work (using the same terminal emulator) on Midnight Commander, and they also work using PuTTY to ssh into my system. Any ideas on where to start? [02:00] drac, dont paste that here [02:00] how can you tell if port 1194 is accepting any connections? [02:00] paddy_: I can't... the machine doesn't have any networking, so I have no place to put it. [02:00] ok, now my ubuntu install says: busybox v1.15.3 (ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/out error can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [02:00] Nesto1000: do you have jre installed? [02:01] anyone know? [02:01] unless yo umean type it in by hand paddy_ [02:01] SomeGuy223: not too sure [02:01] humanMeat: sudo ufw [02:01] humanMeat: sorry, "sudo ufw status" [02:01] Evil_Otto: no what interfaces are there [02:01] lo, wlan1, eth1 [02:01] ok, now my ubuntu install says: busybox v1.15.3 (ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/out error can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [02:01] ok. so it says allow from anywhere. for 1194 [02:02] king is your cd scratched? [02:02] hello? [02:02] when it says allow from anywhere on port 1194, how can i see if it's actually accepting an openvpn client connection [02:02] paddy: this is the 3rd cd i've put the iso on [02:02] because openvpngui client keeps not connecting i've been working on this stupid problem for a week [02:02] what is wrong with these isos [02:02] Nesto1000: first go to software sources and enable the Universe reposiory, then run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" [02:02] i have downloaded like 3 of them [02:02] kingb: did you try the 'verify cd' option when you first boot? [02:03] verify cd? [02:03] there are no choices === Tweedle[afk] is now known as Tweedle [02:03] it's not called exactly that [02:03] kingb: in the fist menu [02:03] paddy_: lo, wlan1, eth1 [02:03] what menu? [02:03] there are no menus [02:03] kingb: then you have the wrong CD [02:03] kingb: the boot menu [02:03] when you boot, you should get a menu [02:03] this is an iso [02:03] paddy_: there's no menu in the Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD they took it out. [02:03] kingb: yes [02:03] SomeGuy223: oh really? huh [02:03] SomeGuy223: how do you verify then? [02:03] !md5 | kingb [02:03] kingb: 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 [02:03] On Ubuntu 10.10 x64 I tried to have it remeber my currently open apps (under the statup apps dialog) and now when I log in I get my background and nothing else. I already cleared out ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session to no avail. Ideas? [02:03] SomeGuy223: isn't there some way to make it come up? what if you need boot options? [02:04] Evil_Otto: ifconfig wlan1 up [02:04] Is there a minimalist (very tiny) ubuntu install that comes without a preconfigured window manager? (gnome, kde, etc) [02:04] so what am I supposed to do [02:04] paddy_: done. [02:04] i just want terminal [02:04] still no connection [02:04] someone connected a xbox kinect to ubuntu for multi-touch gesturing [02:04] why does openvpn gui keep giving me Sat Nov 13 18:03:42 2010 us=124000 SIGUSR1[soft,connection-reset] received, process restarting Sat Nov 13 18:03:42 2010 us=155000 Restart pause, 5 second(s) [02:04] Hi im having problems installing Panflute-applet...

[02:05] I need to know how to delete a folder that was committed to it [02:05] Does it always take a really long time to format a drive in ubuntu? [02:05] kingb: read that link and verify you ISO and CD [02:05] !off-topic | Tweedle [02:05] Tweedle: #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! [02:05] SomeGuy223, I don't see the universe repository in software resources [02:05] weet: rhythmbox works [02:05] We're talking an hour long for a 1,5tb drive? [02:05] how can you tell if someone is trying to connect to your computer on port 1194 [02:05] how do you monitor it [02:05] there's clearly something wrong with the cd [02:05] SomeGuy223: Does it easily sync or do I have to do some type of set up [02:05] ... [02:06] this is 3 straight cds [02:06] nevermind! [02:06] that don't work [02:06] kingb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:06] what is wrong with the iso [02:06] kingb: did you redownload it? [02:06] humanMeat: netstat -an | grep 1194 [02:06] yeah 2 times [02:06] weet: if you plug in your ipod, it should appear in the sidebar [02:06] possibly it downloaded corrupted? [02:06] hmm [02:06] !ipod | weet [02:06] weet: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [02:06] i am d/ling it the 3rd time now [02:06] SomeGuy223, nvm... It's checked already [02:06] gimpy2944, so i got one line of output. how do i actually monitor it [02:06] because i can't seem to connect via openvpn gui [02:07] paddy_: Thank you! :D [02:07] homanMeat: That's how you can check it, one line usually just means your system is listening on that port. I don't know what you mean by "monitor it" [02:07] SomeGuy223, I get this error: Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. [02:07] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [02:07] is only available from another source [02:07] E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate [02:08] Nesto1000: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:08] !partner | Nesto1000 [02:08] Nesto1000: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [02:08] gimpy2944, i'm having trouble connecting to it with openvpngui or ANYTHING for that matter, ssh whatever on port 1194. I can ssh on port 22 just fine but for some reason, openvpn is f'ed up [02:08] Nesto1000: just go to Ubuntu Software Center and search for Java [02:09] so im trying to install ubuntu [02:09] why can't openvpn just work after you follow their god awful documentation [02:09] !java > ctmjr [02:09] ctmjr, please see my private message [02:09] my nvidia control panel is resetting to a really low resolution everytime i have to restart ubuntu. tried saving the settings to x but still resets [02:09] humanMeat: If you telnet to that port does it connect or is the connection refused? [02:09] putty just shows a blank screen that closes 10 seconds later [02:09] telnet raw === kshcherbak is now known as shcherbak [02:09] ubottu can solve everything. [02:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:09] er ssh raw [02:09] telnet says connection refused [02:09] humanMeat: I don't understand why you are trying ot SSH to that port. [02:09] SomeGuy223: fail [02:10] My computers BIOS screen wont show, how can I change to "boot from disk" from my Windows desktop (trying to install ubuntu) [02:10] firewall [02:10] Hi im having problems installing Panflute-applet... I installed it with apt-get install but when i try to add it to the panel its not there.. there any reason for this or a way to fix this? [02:10] gimpy2944, i got some tip from another guy in here to use putty to SSH raw into there just to see if anything would happen [02:10] weet: you can't [02:10] weet, figure out how to get your bios screen to show [02:10] weet: try just pressing a few common keys, F1, delete, escape, etc when you boot, see if it comes up [02:10] humanMeat: Oh, I use telnet to test ports, never heard of using SSH to do that. [02:10] scorchgeek: Really? I have nothing works. [02:10] weet: and F12 [02:10] weet: f2 too [02:11] gimpy2944 anyways, it's saying connection failed when i telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1194 [02:11] snipe: might be worth launching via 'gksu nvidia-settings' from the terminal and trying to save to xorg.conf again [02:11] or even just without the ip [02:11] weet: well, there is always a way when you boot, and no way to do it once an operating system is running, so yeah [02:11] thanks [02:11] er. without the port [02:11] humanMeat: Are yo trying with your external IP address, local, or loopback? [02:11] scorchgeek: well everytime I try i hit like every button on my keyboard nothing works [02:11] ugh now *I'M* getting the 'can not mount /dev/loop0' message [02:11] weet, check your motherboard manual... [02:12] SomeGuy223, which one do I install? [02:12] weet: what brand is your computer? [02:12] gimpy2944, i'm using the same ip address that i use for SSH on port 22(which i am able to do) [02:12] psusi: Not a custom build. Its an old HP [02:12] this is a box on linode servers [02:12] weet: and a message doesn't say "press to access setup"? [02:12] hello everyone [02:12] weet, then go to hp's web site and read their manuals [02:12] weet: try F1 [02:12] humanMeat: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl [02:12] No one knows? [02:12] humanMeat: That's doesn't help me. If you are trying that on your external IP, the one the Internet sees, then you may need to open the port on your firewall. [02:12] SomeGuy223: Is it bad to hit all of the F's. [02:12] gimpy2944, i added a manual exception for this on my router [02:12] weet: press repeatedly immediately after pressing power [02:12] weet: probably not [02:12] so it's not the firewall [02:13] weet: not really unless you break a key. [02:13] all that will happen is other menus may come up, you can just hit the power button if you screw up [02:13] humanMeat: OK, now try it on the local machine that hosts the service and try it with 127.0.0.1, do you get the same error? [02:14] yea [02:14] er wait [02:14] which machine. client or server [02:14] Nesto1000: try typing in sun java into the search [02:14] i'm trying to telnet from my windows box to the ubuntu [02:14] Nesto1000: and then selecting sun-java6-jre [02:14] humanMeat: on the local machine that hosts the service....that means the server [02:14] how do you go to a different directory in windows in the cmd prompt [02:14] kingb: cd [02:15] kk brb ima try and get to bios [02:15] Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [02:15] humanMeat: dumb question, is your ssh server installed [02:15] I did that once and felt really stupid afterward [02:15] humanMeat: Is the openVPN or whatever service you are trying to connect to running? [02:15] scorchgeek, i am able to ssh in and issue commands.. does that count? [02:15] gimpy2944 it is running [02:15] humanMeat: check the firwall on both sides [02:16] i just added a router exception and a ufw exception on port 1194 [02:16] if it works, then yeah it better be installed :)...so you just can't use that one port [02:16] humanMeat: Wait, you mentioned OpenVPN earlier, are you setting up OpenVPN or an SSH server? [02:16] for client and server [02:16] openvpn. [02:16] i can't seem to get port 1194 to see anything... or something i don't know. it's realy aggravating [02:17] well is openvpn set up then on that port? I don't know anything about it though [02:17] !telnet | humanMeat [02:17] humanMeat: telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh [02:17] scorchgeek, i followed the really piss poor documentation at openvpn to set it up. /etc/init.d/openvpn restart gives me some logs telling me it's running [02:17] paddy: We are just testing a port, telnet is fine for that. [02:17] but i can't for the lfie of me get any info in to 1194 on that machine [02:18] gimpy2944: ok [02:18] sure your router/firewall settings are ok? [02:18] hmm, networking works fine booted from ubuntu live cd [02:18] how do i check scorchgeek [02:18] humanMeat: Try following an OpenVPN setup guide to make sure you got every step right, OpenVPN can be picky. [02:18] SomeGuy223, I typed sun java, but I can't find sun java6 jre === sean is now known as Guest21753 [02:18] i've followed what was provided at openvpn [02:18] humanMeat: depends on your router and firewall software [02:18] Anyone got experience with Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud? [02:18] And i followed another one provided by linode [02:19] both are failures [02:19] scorchgeek: Even locally on loopback it won't connect he said. [02:19] SomeGuy223, I shoulda probably said that I'm on 64bit ubuntu [02:19] scorchgeek.. i'm using a windows firewall and put an exception for port 1194 for openvpn gui on router [02:19] Guest21753: from the sound of it, it comes with suppourt [02:19] gimpy2944: ah yeah good point [02:19] and ufw has an exception for 1194 on server [02:19] i've been saying this for 20 minutes now lol [02:19] I've got it setup on a virtual network... [02:19] Ubuntu should really have a proper torrent client, I'm uninstalling ubuntu for it now. [02:20] humanMeat: Kill ufw completely and try it. [02:20] Vhozard: what is wrong with transmission [02:20] I want to route the front end server to my public IP though. [02:20] humanMeat, if a remember correctly openvpn has a lot of info on their web site on how to connect [02:20] ctmjr, ones that don't work [02:20] Vhozard: Try Deluge, transmission is ok too. [02:20] Nesto1000: I think java's the same for both 32-bit and 64-bit, but I have no experience with the latter. [02:20] anyone figure out the issue with ubuntu and flash ? [02:20] i don't need anymore rtfm :( [02:20] I have tried Transmission, deluge, rtorrent, libtorrent, uTorrent via wine [02:20] they all just suck [02:21] Vhozard: why [02:21] Vhozard: Define suck. [02:21] so i got it to go back to the ubuntu install with the 5 red dots, but it still eventually just freezes [02:21] Vhozard: try ktorrent. [02:21] Vhozard: I think that's about it for all the clients on all platforms... [02:21] ctrl alt f1 does work, but it just gives me a blank prompt [02:21] * Evil_Otto blows away and starts over [02:21] Vhozard: you can try Vuze [02:21] kingb: login to the prompt [02:21] saving via gsku didn't fix it but i notice it reads my monitor as a crt even though it recognizes the model. it is an acer p201w lcd. [02:21] Deluge is unstable as shit, Tranmission slow as shit, uTorrent via wine is a fail. and rtorrent works very slow via webui [02:21] login to the prompt? [02:21] * paddy_ is getting somewhere [02:21] now its just frozen [02:21] =[ [02:21] someone fix my surround card's mic-to-center/lfe switch, i cant find where to change it [02:21] plz :) [02:22] kingb: yes [02:22] Vuze is probably the worst client, after LimeWire or so [02:22] crap, someone redsponded and I was afk.. [02:22] Vhozard: I have no problems with Deluge at all, are you using the latest version (check their site). [02:22] utorrent in wine is the same as utorrent in windows.. [02:22] Anyone here using an atsc tuner (north american digital broadcast) in ubuntu? [02:22] how do you log into a prompt [02:22] there's nothing there [02:22] Vhozard: transision is not slow [02:22] uTorrent via wine is NOT the same as uTorrent via windows [02:22] Vhozard: limewire is a p2p client not torrent [02:22] Whats the difference? [02:22] limewire does torrents too [02:23] kingb: so there is no prompt [02:23] uTorrent via wine just doesnt work [02:23] its just a "_" [02:23] thats pretty basic, isnt nit? [02:23] it* [02:23] Get rTorrent [02:23] so... i'm out of luck. openvpn is just open crap software [02:23] works good [02:23] It works for me.. [02:23] I did get rTorrent [02:23] simple [02:23] humanMeat: it really isn't. [02:23] rtorrent is NOT simple [02:23] Anyone experienced with KVM? [02:23] i got it working though [02:23] paddy: just a blinking "_" [02:23] SOMEONE: i need a lil soundcard help [02:23] But the webui makes it very slo [02:23] Kyle__ there is absolutely no support for a Windows client connecting to an openvpn server [02:23] w [02:23] kingb: so you have a black screen with a single underscore? [02:23] yes [02:24] support is probably half of using a software solution lol [02:24] if you think rtorrent is difficult, you haven't tried many bit torrent clients. cause there are so doosies. [02:24] humanMeat: I disagree, OpenVPN is great. I don't know enough about your system to know the problem, all I can suggets to to know the concepts of how data travels on a network, how VPNs work, and to pay attention to every detail of the documentation. [02:24] humanMeat: That's not so. [02:24] Vhozard: I have downloaded meany movies umm i mean creative commens licenced video;s [02:24] with transmission [02:24] paddy: now its saying stuff [02:25] nikitis rtorrent itself wasnt difficult, i had problams with the webui (wtorrent) [02:25] I installed a package with aptitude, and it pulled down a bunch of libraries, now I want to remove it, and a sudo aptitude purge only removes 1 package, is there a way to see a list of recently installed packages? [02:25] kyle__ why isn't open source used by billions of people then :( Windows is STILL the most popular OS [02:25] kingb: could you please be more specific [02:25] for desktop [02:25] [ 75.281288] panic occured, switching back to text console [02:25] Vhozard: Try out rutorrent [02:25] humanMeat: marketing. [02:25] Dude, it is. Whether they know it or not. [02:25] * Kyle__ sighs and /ignores the troll [02:25] why cant there just be a good substitute for uTorrent -_- [02:25] [ 75.281169] kenral panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! [02:25] i'm sick of reading docs that dont' document bugs or problems [02:25] humanMeat: Oh joy, THIs argument again.....take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:26] it's "do this do this do this" get an exception [02:26] Vhozard: they have.. ktorrent and deluge [02:26] gimpy2944: that's what /ignore is for. [02:26] Vhozard: kTorrent? [02:26] kingb: kernal panic, not good [02:26] im on gnome, but ill give ktorrent a go [02:26] [ 75.281181] pid: 1,comm: run-init not tainted 2.6.35.22-generic #33-ubunutu [02:26] so what do I do [02:26] Kyle: We shouldn't need to ignore, it's the rules of the room, offtopic goes to #ubuntu-offtopic. [02:26] Vhozard, tried vuze yet? [02:26] vuze = crap [02:26] gimpy2944: fair enough. [02:26] i dont use it [02:27] Vhozard: you can use kde applications on gnome .. just need a bit more libraries. [02:27] yeah, i know [02:27] it's not off topic. i followed some documentation that's ubuntu related and got exceptions [02:27] good thing the ubuntu servers are fast [02:27] ya, kde apps run on gnome for m [02:27] i can download at 14 MB/s :) [02:27] e [02:27] i'm bring it up here lol and now i'm sidetracked fro some reason [02:27] nice [02:27] humanMeat, ranting is offtopic. take it there. [02:27] kingdb can you run dmesg and pastebin the output? [02:27] Vhozard: see if you can downloads a cookie [02:27] mm cookies [02:27] dmsg? [02:27] so how do you figure out why 1194 isn't accepting info? [02:28] no, this thing is frozen [02:28] but hold on [02:28] i got multiple repeated responses "configure firewall, read the manuL etc etc " that were useless [02:28] kingb: have you got a desktop working yet? [02:28] no [02:28] it is frozen on these messages [02:29] and it is a laptop [02:29] if that manes anything [02:29] humanMeat: did you get a response from netstat -napt | grep 1194 ? [02:29] One thing I love about uTorrent, is that it works, it works fast and its possible to specify the download directory for the files within a torrent [02:29] can someone help me help kingdb he has kernel panic on livecd [02:29] humanMeat: OpenVPN is also not Ubuntu's own software. If OpenVPN has their own forums and IRC, you might want to try there. We are here to help you find the answer, not find the answer fo you. [02:30] bastidrazor, i get tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1194 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [02:30] Vhozard: transmission does taht [02:30] nope it doesnt [02:30] try it out [02:30] kingb, download the alternate iso. md5 the iso. burn at low speed then do the verify disk from the menu. [02:30] !alternate | kingb [02:30] kingb: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [02:30] humanMeat: you have iptables up?

[02:31] what command to see? i think i have one on 22 [02:31] and 1194 [02:32] what is a text based alternative installer [02:32] humanMeat: I stand corrected, I did a quick serarch in software center but it decided to hide it as a `technical package` [02:32] humanMeat: sudo iptables -L [02:32] kingb, the alternate installer. I just gave you a link [02:32] kingb: there is no graphics only text [02:32] kingb: it's an alternative installer where you use text instead of graphics to make you choices. [02:33] !terminal | kingb [02:33] kingb: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE).

[02:35] hi [02:35] dingurt it's a linode server. i think the default gateway ends with a 1 or something [02:35] OMMerta: exe files are for Windows, you can run them via wine if you would like.

I think you have a blocked port.

[02:36] kingb: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/ [02:36] kingb, yes it does [02:36] i mounted game's iso image, but i cant run the autorun.exe [02:36] :( [02:37] How can I schedule an "apt-get install" for 2:15AM tomorrow? I have a connection that'll allow me to download without effecting bandwidth at that time. [02:37] And I need to get ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:37] Sir_Konrad: cron [02:37] gimpy: the file *.exe is not marked as executable [02:37] kingb: are you 64 bit [02:37] Sir_Konrad, dingurt: "at" is better for that [02:37] dingurt, what about cron? [02:37] jcape, at? [02:37] that's the error i get gimpy [02:38] yeah [02:38] my computer is 64bit [02:38] Sir_Konrad: Yeah, there's a command called "at" (from the shell, "man at") [02:38] i have a videocard ati mobility radeon x600... how to install driver on maerick? [02:38] jcape: i don't know about "better", but it will work the same [02:38] but I d/led the 32bit as recommended [02:38] dingurt: Naw, at is designed for one-offs [02:38] jcape, yeah, but if I tell it to "sudo apt-get" then won't I have to get up and type in a password? [02:38] kingb: http://ftp.ticklers.org/releases.ubuntu.org/releases//10.10/ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso [02:38] kingb, well download the alternate now [02:38] i mounted the image as root, is that why gimpy? [02:38] Sir_Konrad: You can tell "at" to run it as root [02:38] bazhang: I'm dling it now [02:38] kingb: who recomended 32 [02:38] Sir_Konrad: "$ sudo at (timestamp) (command)" [02:39] paddy_, thats the server [02:39] the permission wont change cuz i'm just a user? [02:39] how do you get informationa bout a package in ubuntu? [02:39] paddy: the website recomended it [02:39] I have an intel centrino 64bit [02:39] jcape, and it won't have to have a password? O.O [02:39] kingb: bazhang so it is i meant http://ftp.ticklers.org/releases.ubuntu.org/releases//10.10/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso [02:39] jcape: true [02:39] Sir_Konrad: Nope, you're setting the schedule as root [02:39] LOL [02:39] Sir_Konrad: So root will be the one it gets run as [02:39] KTorrent works great [02:39] kingb: why would it do that? [02:39] its looks ugly as hell on gnome though [02:40] jcape, ah... [02:40] kingb: do you know how much ram you have? [02:40] OMerta: The exe shouldn't need to be executable I just tested it. So, I'm no help and have no idea. [02:40] jcape, let me look into it. Thanks. :) [02:40] paddy: a lot, I think 2gb [02:40] Sir_Konrad: np [02:40] I upgraded the mozilla PPA, and now when I open Thunderbird, it opens a separate instance if "Shredder" in my dock. So I have 1 icon that acts as launcher, and 1 icon that acts as the current window. I do NOT want that. I want 1 icon to act as both like I had before I got this darn PPA. [02:40] how do you check the version of an app installed via apt-get [02:40] hello i need urgent help, need to recover daa from a digital camera? [02:40] well gimpy, the problem is that the exe is in a mounted iso [02:40] normally i dont get any errors [02:40] hello i need urgent help, need to recover data from a digital camera? [02:41] hello i need urgent help, need to recover data from a digital camera? [02:41] hello i need urgent help, need to recover data from a digital camera? [02:41] hello i need urgent help, need to recover data from a digital camera? [02:41] cryptik: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:42] mount command wont work unless i'm a root for an iso file [02:42] anyone know how to check what version of openvpn is running? [02:42] cryptik once is enough [02:42] humanMeat: apt-get -s install package [02:42] is there a way to change that [02:42] anyone know of a good channel to talk PC hardware? [02:42] paddy_ that just tells me it's already installed. how can i see the version [02:42] oxyclean, ##hardware [02:42] oxyclean: #hardware :) [02:42] thanks [02:43] is it possible to upgrade distro from dapper to maverick? [02:43] uh. [02:43] i never got prompted to enter a default password for the default keyring [02:43] and now it's asking for it [02:43] jcape, here's a question. I use at to schedule apt-get. Apt-get requires you to press Y to confirm. [02:44] humanMeat: it will tell you in synaptic [02:44] paddy_ i'm command lining [02:44] i don't think i have this synaptic gui ur talking about [02:44] jcape, anyway to get past that? [02:44] humanMeat, apt-cache show package name [02:44] Sir_Konrad: use -y that will give yes to any questions [02:44] Sir_Konrad: I believe it's --force-yes === Marceaux is now known as Marqeaux [02:45] oh dear... which one? :P [02:45] command -v usually works [02:45] Sir_Konrad: look at the 2nd page in the apt-get manpage.. man apt-get [02:45] command -v usually works humanMeat [02:45] So it's completely OK if I already have Ubuntu installed via Wubi but I also want to do a true dual boot of Ubuntu with partitions? [02:45] Sir_Konrad: --yes or --assume-yes or -y [02:45] --yes. Thanks bastidrazor. :) [02:46] Sir_Konrad: you're welcome [02:46] hey gimpy, i used fuseiso to mount the image as user and it's ok now [02:46] humanMeat: an even better one `dpkg -p package` [02:46] thanks anyways [02:47] By OK, meaning it won't mess things up if I have two Ubuntu copies installed on my computer at once? [02:47] How do i create a new default keyring? [02:47] OMerta: fusermount to mount things in ~/.gvfs [02:48] ahh thanks, i'll use that next time :) [02:49] could somebody please explain the contradiction between http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/m/ and http://dpaste.org/5Exd/ [02:49] OMerta: i could be wrong on that. [02:51] is Unity that dock on the left and blank screen in the middle? [02:52] Habstina1: no problem, its fine [02:52] andrew______: what contradiction? What is it exactly that you want to accomplish? [02:53] can i put the gui from 10.04 netbook edition instead of unity in the 10.10 one? [02:53] ok so how can I make sure my command will be executed a root? [02:53] andrew______: why do you want to apt-get meta-kde? [02:53] sudo? [02:53] sudo apt-get install meta-kde [02:53] andrew______: WHY? [02:54] because i want to try it out [02:54] how do i keep my monitor resolution after reboot? [02:54] and some of the apps [02:54] andrew______: want to try what out? afaict meta-kde is just a source package that creates other packages... [02:54] chipmink, yes but this is scheduled with at. [02:55] but why can't apt find the package? [02:55] andrew______: huh? It's a source package [02:55] andrew______: it creates all the .debs you see in your link. [02:56] and i want to install them all [02:56] andrew______: so do that if you want [02:57] but is it not a package? i thought the whole point of the metapackage was that you could install everything just by installing it alone [02:58] andrew______: like I said, it's a source package. It's not a .deb you install. It creates .debs [02:58] and if it _is_ in the repo, why does apt-get say that it cannot find it? === pepperja1k is now known as pepperjack [02:58] andrew______: it's like you are just ignoring what I say, weird [02:58] i am not ignoring [02:59] andrew______: it's not a package you install. [02:59] !find meta-kde [02:59] Package/file meta-kde does not exist in maverick [02:59] andrew______: it does not exist. [02:59] ?? [02:59] .... [02:59] are those real? [02:59] ok, thanks guys [02:59] i stand corrected [03:00] well i guess so [03:01] I can't seem to change my resolution to 1280x1024. can anyone help me with that? [03:01] Okay, back. [03:01] paddy_: My iwconfig output is http://pastebin.com/AcJFZ8SQ [03:03] my hard drive died, ubuntu 8.04, my friend dave is recovering it, using his windows 7 box. he has it read only. how can he give me those files and make them accessible on ubuntu 9.04? [03:04] has anyone used logmein with linux? [03:04] long time ago [03:04] Does anyone know much about /etc/hosts file? [03:04] Thirtysixway I do [03:04] I was trying to get "esotalk.local" to point to 127.0.0.1, and now when i type in http://localhost/ it redirects to 'esotalk.local' [03:05] and i don't know how to fix it so i have both localhost and esotalk.local [03:05] Just have two entries [03:05] My wireless still isn't working, but I've got enough of a battery charge that I should be able to stay on a while longer here. [03:05] nikitis did you use the client version on linux? [03:06] good for you ShayGuy [03:06] i mean the access module [03:06] "127.0.0.1 localhost" Then underneath it, "127.0.0.1 esotalk.local" [03:06] ShayGuy, what type of wireless open or encrypted [03:07] Encrypted. [03:07] my hard drive died, ubuntu 8.04, my friend dave is recovering it, using his windows 7 box. he has it read only. I have ubuntu 9.04 on my drive, here.. but what do i need so that he can transfer the files to me? [03:07] ShayGuy, wpa? [03:07] chalcedony: windows 7 can read ext3? [03:07] ctmjr: Uh, think so. Pretty sure it's that or wpa2. [03:07] there's that ext2fs driver [03:07] chalcedony: you meen like file sharing? [03:07] but that's the wrong way to do it [03:08] nikitis: okay i did that. but http://localhost/ still redirects to esotalk.local. is that an apache problem? [03:08] chalcedony: dd your drive, don't try to mount it. use ext3grep and gpart. [03:08] mkquist, he can see it and zip it, but then what does he / i need to do? [03:08] chalcedony: only work on the dd'd image you've made. don't mess with the original hdd besides making an image. again, don't try to mount. [03:09] chalcedony: use dd_rescue [03:09] k [03:09] chalcedony: also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [03:09] nikitis: got it fixed. thank you! [03:10] chalcedony: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gpart [03:10] wow, ok... my screen takes a *really* long time to wake up from sleep.. like minutes [03:10] as in when the netbook is closed the machine sleeps, but when I open it the machien wakes up but the screen doesn't [03:10] ShayGuy, your pastebin is from ifconfig -a ? [03:11] chelz i'm reading - he won't read and i'm the mother of a linux guy, not the guru - he moved out. [03:11] ctmjr: It's from iwconfig. I can do another for ifconfig. === andrea is now known as sudobash [03:11] ShayGuy, no need what wireless card do u have do you know? [03:12] chalcedony: so hes copied the files, cant you just burn it to some media? [03:12] chalcedony: oh.. generally good to get a knowledgeable linux person around in emergency situations like data recovery. i mean unless you have backups. otherwise might be good to get that guy back there. [03:12] Hi. I have a question about Cron. Why does "* * * * * date > /file.txt" work in cron and "* * * * * date +%s /file.txt" doesn't work? The first produces file.txt every minute, and the second doesn't produce file.txt. However, if I run the second command in a bash terminal, it seems to work fine? [03:13] chelz last time i talked to him he told me talking to me raised his blood pressure. [03:13] ctmjr: Um... lspci | grep Wireless says "02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)". Is that it? [03:13] hey guys, quick question: I just wrote up a script to enable wireless connection between my ipod and my computer. It's working fine, but every time I execute it, it asks me if i'm sure I want to run it. Is there any way I can tell it that it's always okay? [03:13] andromodon: put whatever you want to run in a script and reference the script in cron [03:13] there is a command line utility that can can paste some commands output to a website and return a address, anyone know what it is? [03:14] mkquist, wondering if we can transfer it from his computer to mine with the lan or a cable? [03:14] WilliamHerry: pastebinit [03:14] chalcedony: sure, samba and file sharing would work [03:14] chalcedony: you might try seeking out a local Linux Users Group for knowledgeable local people that would help you. ideally an ubuntu local community team [03:14] mkquist, he has samba on his, what do i need to run here? (command line) ? [03:14] chalcedony: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [03:15] chelz, Thanks for the tip. That might solve my problem, but I want to understand cron better. [03:15] chelz, i haven't had much luck there. [03:15] bastidrazor: thanks [03:15] ecit [03:15] WilliamHerry: pastebin.com? [03:15] Any thoughts as to what might be keeping my screen from waking up after the machine wakes up from sleep? It takes like five minutes to wake back up [03:16] Evil_Otto: no idea. [03:16] chelz besides i have dave here *tonight* .. [03:16] andromodon: yes [03:16] Can I cmod recursivly? [03:16] ShayGuy, yes that is it hold on a sec [03:16] there is another one, but this one is fine [03:16] Can someone help me figure out how to enable Num lock on startup? [03:16] whenever I try to execute this script I wrote, I get this message: Do you want to run "RemotePad.sh", or display its contents? "RemotePad.sh" is an executable text file. Is there a way to classify the file as a script and not as a text file? [03:17] lolcat: yes chmod -R [03:17] bastidrazor: 777 is read/write forr everyone? [03:17] lolcat: yes. chmod -R [03:18] lolcat: yes [03:19] ubuntitude: the first line of the script file should be #!/bin/bash or #~/bin/sh .. my guess is you do not have that [03:19] Hi. I have a question about Cron. Why does "* * * * * date > /file.txt" work in cron and "* * * * * date > +%s /file.txt" doesn't work? The first produces file.txt every minute, and the second doesn't produce file.txt. However, if I run the second command in a bash terminal, it seems to work fine? [03:19] chelz i typed the question in the #ale channel, but probably won't hear from anyone. [03:19] chalcedony: right click on a file you want to share and ubuntu should install the packages you need to share. then he could just transfer the files across the lan, or you could install samba manually... [03:19] bastidrazor: i have that, the script itself is working fine; i just have to tell it to run it as a script and not open it in geedit every time I try to execute it [03:19] /bin/date [03:20] mkquist, i think we will hit the firewall my son configured - only he knows the key. [03:20] WilliamHerry: Tried that. [03:21] ubuntitude: i don't really know. i was just guessing. [03:21] chalcedony: not if you both on this side of it? or is it wireless? [03:21] chalcedony: your* [03:21] date > +%s /file.txt" doesn't work? should > after +%s ? [03:21] mkquist, we could both be wired - the wireless is completely blocked [03:21] chalcedony: firewall protects your lan for the big bad net =) [03:21] bastidrazor: I may have figured it out; do you perchance know the command to open up a terminal session? [03:21] chalcedony: all you have to do is reset the router to reconfigure the password [03:22] ubuntitude: gnome-terminal [03:22] mkquist, how? [03:22] chalcedony: providing you have any info to access your internet connection, like username/password [03:22] bastidrazor: thanks, going to change the "Open With" properties to make the default opening program terminal [03:22] chalcedony: oh i was thinking bringing your stuff to a LUG meeting. [03:22] chalcedony: routers typically have a reset switch on em, actually i think 'always' is more like it [03:23] dave says he's using 'disk internals linux tools' [03:23] with recovery [03:23] chelz: but why not just plug in for now, quicker [03:23] bastidrazor: or maybe that won't work...hmmm [03:23] mkquist, but then i'd have to reconfigure the router from scratch? [03:23] chalcedony: right [03:24] it's a netgear N router and for the moment it checks out well on tests for security [03:25] mkquist, it's a netgear N router -for the moment it checks out well on tests for security [03:25] what does the wayland move mean to users of tiling window managers like awesome||dwm? does wayland provide the same api? [03:25] chalcedony: like i said, need to know the info for the router to access your internet provider, thats the main of it... username/password, maybe if its pppoe or not... [03:25] Well I never though I would have to do this after using Linux for the last 7 years. But I've finally found an issue I can't seem to solve by searching on Google. So I was hoping someone here might be able to help. [03:26] problem solved. I guess '%' is a special character to cron and needs to be escaped. [03:26] I just bought a new graphics card today an GeForce GT 240 [03:26] I've gone as far as downloading a compiling the latest Nvidia Drivers for the card [03:26] mkquist, if he's not here and we reset the router to defaults, the next step is comcast motorola surfboard.. [03:27] however X never starts when using the nvidia driver [03:27] chalcedony: not sure what that means... [03:27] is this the proper channel to be in, if I'm looking for a helping hand? [03:27] I don't get any errors or warnings. even after creating modelines [03:27] all I get is a Segmentation Fault [03:27] I tried but couldnt do [03:27] mit: is there a reason you didn't use the pre-packaged nvidia drivers for your distribution? [03:28] ya, they didn't work either [03:28] mkquist, cable router > negear router > lan [03:28] mit: they segfault too? [03:28] so I was hoping the latest ones would work which in times pass did the trick [03:28] ya [03:28] they also segfaulted too [03:28] mit: what distro? [03:28] wb chelz :) [03:28] Ubuntu 10.04 [03:29] mit: This may sound silly but have you tried reseeding the card? [03:29] I assume you've done a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"? [03:29] chalcedony: how are you accessing your "dead" hdd? and how did it die, specifically? [03:29] well I would do that except X works fine when using the Vesa driver [03:29] mit: ahh [03:29] ShayGuy, sorry it took so long we need to find out why you have no wlan interface what version of ubuntu you using? [03:30] ctmjr: Maverick. [03:30] does anyone know if there are known issues with NVidia Cards on AMD boards? [03:30] I'm on an old iBook G4 and I've just installed ubuntu 10.10, but I'm having trouble with the wifi drivers. I've installed b43-fwcutter, but it does not appear to work! At least, I can't get it working. Anyone know anything about b43-fwcutter? [03:30] chelz june before last, i went to eat dinner with my husband in the other room, when i came back my screen was black with a white arrow, it never restarted and i got new components and built a new box. [03:31] mit: haven't noticed any here [03:31] chalcedony: couldnt restart it, like no power? [03:31] how can i reset all of my console prefs to my system's default via a livecd? [03:32] ShayGuy, are you using network manager? [03:32] chalcedony: chances are your data is just fine. if you're plugging your old hdd straight into this dave guy's mobo, have him boot an ubuntu livecd, then copy off the stuff you want. you can also use an external enclosure to get access that drive more easily in the future [03:32] mkquist, like drive wasn't turning, maybe a noise from it or the fan, i didnt want to touch it until i got help. [03:32] ctmjr: No, Wicd. nm-applet shows "device not managed" under both Wired Network and Wireless Networks. [03:32] what's the command to update the entire distro from 10.04 to 10.10? [03:33] chelz he's got it in an enclosure with a fan, usb'd to his computer, he will end up with tarred data, what to do next is the question? [03:33] !upgrade | Evil_Otto [03:33] Evil_Otto: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [03:33] thanks [03:33] does anyone have any clues on what I could search on to help fix my issue? [03:33] !wifi [03:33] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:33] mit: you could try settling it down to 3 keywords [03:34] been there already :( [03:34] chelz mkquist it's allowing him to get the data, so maybe its not dead dead .. praying. [03:34] this is the backtrace I get right after it loads the udev configures the mouse [03:34] Backtrace: [03:34] [ 11.992] 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x80ad18b] [03:34] [ 11.992] 1: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x60685) [0x80a8685] [03:34] [ 11.992] 2: (vdso) (__kernel_rt_sigreturn+0x0) [0xb7789410] [03:34] mit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:36] here is a print out of the Backtrace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531525/plain/ [03:36] ShayGuy, no eth1 is wired [03:36] chalcedony: 9.04 is no longer supported [03:36] ctmjr: sometimes eth1 is wireless .. wicd is weird that way. [03:37] ctmjr: I thought eth0 was wired. [03:37] xangua, yes and if i live through the next week and get work done i will figure out how to save my stuff and put 10* on it [03:37] ctmjr: nah, I've ended up with a wired eth1 before [03:37] bastidrazor, thank you [03:37] ShayGuy, ok try eth1 [03:38] ctmjr: http://pastebin.com/Zrm2RT7W [03:39] actually xangua i got kind of paranoid about upgrading without help, so i waited. [03:39] HI all! What is the first thing that runs when you log in? [03:39] so does anyone know how to make a script be automatically run by terminal instead of asking if it wants to be displayed in a text editor? [03:39] can anyone help me using b43-fwcutter to extract the firmware for my BCM4306/2 card in order to enable wifi on an iBook G4? [03:40] When you partion the disk do you have to use to the PARTITION TABLE anywhere.... [03:40] option i meant [03:40] my computer wont boot past checking battery state... WHY IS THIS? i have to run the computer in failsafeX mode [03:40] hxcjonnysniper, what are you running and what are you running it on? [03:41] ubuntitude, I shouldn't offer advice because I'm the biggest newbie around, but couldn't you just make the script executable with chmond +x ? [03:41] chalcedony: ubuntu 10.10 on compaq 6710b laptop. [03:41] l1sbeth: yes, that gives you the prompt still [03:41] if you run from terminal, it doesn't bother you, but double-clicking in gnome still does [03:41] l1sbeth it's executable, but I have to tell it to execute itself every time I run it. Just trying to get around the hassle of pressing an extra button every time I execute it [03:41] l1sbeth, chmod, not chmond === xlo-louko is now known as flock [03:42] :) === flock is now known as dhq === dhq is now known as dhw === dhw is now known as flock-_ [03:42] I'm glad I prefixed my suggestion then :) [03:42] ShayGuy, do sudo ifconfig eth1 down then sudo ifconfig eth1 up [03:42] e.g. every time I click on it it asks if i want to run it in terminal, display it, cancel, or run [03:43] i just want it to automatically run when i click on it [03:43] l1sbeth, you did fine :) [03:43] The main thing I'm trying to do is get a card that will play 1080p content smoothly under linux. So if anyone knows of an alternate Card that should work that would fix my issue as well... [03:43] ctmjr: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill" [03:44] ShayGuy, is wicd running? if it is stop it [03:44] ShayGuy: do you have a wireless button on your laptop? that would indicated the wireless button is in the off position? [03:45] ubuntitude, what about adding -f to the "click" command thing. Maybe that would force it open :/ Anyway, I don't suppose any of you know something about b43-fwcutter? I've been trying to get it working for hours now [03:45] ctmjr: Done. [03:45] im stuck at boot. can someone help me? it hangs up at the checking battery state line. i tried installing nvidia drivers and this happened. [03:45] l1sbeth: nope, sorry. :( that sounds like a more platform-specific issue. It'll be tough finding a person who has the same issue. That's the problem with using a OS that's almost universally compatible :P [03:46] an* OS [03:46] ShayGuy, do as bastidrazor says and make sure the wireless button is on [03:46] !inittab [03:46] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [03:46] hello [03:46] bastidrazor: I can never remember which position is on and which is off, but I have tried flipping it. I just now did again, and the light turned blue. Tried ifconfig eth1 up again and it returned no error message this time. [03:47] l1sbeth: -f did nothing :/ [03:47] ubuntitude, oh darn. I've read all the documentation I've been able to find online. Most people say you apt-get the program and when it installs, it should prompt you for allowing it to download the correct firmware, but when I do it, it does not prompt me and so it installs only the program and not the drivers [03:47] l1sbeth: is this a wireless internet issue? [03:48] Does anyone know if I have to do anything else to enable vsync? I'm not running compiz, and I've enabled it in nvidia-settings, but I'm still getting tearing when playing videos in vlc [03:48] ctmjr: Sorry, forgot to address you too with that one. [03:48] ShayGuy, now if it is encrypted you need to add some stuff to your /etc/network/interfaces or try wicd again [03:48] first day unbuntu and whats the easyest way to get mirc to work? [03:48] ubuntitude, yeah, it is [03:49] ctmjr: Wicd is still saying "No wireless networks found." [03:49] ubuntitude, if the script runs in a terminal, isn't there a command that could be added on saying "run in terminal" ? [03:49] ShayGuy, ok stop it we will try something else [03:49] l1sbeth: ah...ubuntu is notorious for wireless internet issues...i screwed with my computer for days when i first installed Ubuntu before it worked [03:50] is wine a opition? [03:50] Sorry. Battery almost dead again. [03:50] anyone? enabling vsync? [03:50] l1sbeth: i've tried setting the default open program to terminal, nothing. I have no idea [03:50] ubuntitude, darn darn and darn. And I just can't make sense of the man file === evil is now known as Guest28462 [03:51] what sort of info would I need to give you peeps to help my trouble shoot my xserver issues? [03:51] l1sbeth: I didn't have to use any package called ubcutter or whatever you called it. [03:51] ubuntu won't boot all the way. it gets stuck at "checking battery state" anyone know what to do? [03:51] why does ubuntu 10.10 System Monitor show 2 cpu's on an AMD X3 processor? [03:51] l1sbeth: i just screwed with eth0 settings for days on end [03:51] l1sbeth: and eventually it magically started working [03:52] ubuntitude, that's so linux [03:52] You start looking for one package [03:52] and then end up having to find fifty more for the first one to work :D [03:52] l1sbeth: have you run a full systems diagnostic on your hardware? It might reveal some issues you didn't know were there [03:53] unfortunately i don't remember the command to do that :/ [03:53] ubuntitude, where do I do that? All it says is the wifi is missing firmware [03:53] Anyone have a problem where Ubuntu reports less cpu cores than is running? [03:53] l1sbeth: it's a command in terminal that gets all the specs from your various cards and such [03:54] ubuntu won't boot all the way. it gets stuck at "checking battery state" anyone know what to do? [03:54] l1sbeth: unfortunately I forget the command atm [03:54] that's okay [03:54] Hello, I need some help installing ubuntu. Can someone here maybe answer a few questions? [03:54] DCC: sure [03:54] ubuntitude: lspci or even sudo lshw [03:54] great! [03:54] bastidrazor: yeah, lspci, that's it [03:55] ubuntu won't boot all the way. it gets stuck at "checking battery state" anyone know what to do? [03:55] l1sbeth: run an lspci in terminal [03:55] ubuntitude, I've run that so many times :( It gets me the firmware information, that is, BCM4306/2 [03:55] l1sbeth: ah that sucks...all i remember is that what set me on the extremely windy and confusing road to getting my wireless to work [03:56] I'm trying to install ubuntu along side windows visita but when I get to the install screenfor "allocate drive space" I don't have the choice to install alongsode windows. does anyone know how I can get that? [03:56] l1sbeth: i have a really outdated computer, too, so i was lucky to find the drivers on some random Intel website that was like 10 years old [03:56] and after that I forget what I did :/ [03:56] ubuntitude, it's just I can't find the firmware. Ubuntu identifies it as b43-open/ucode5.fw, but I can't find it anywhere [03:57] ubuntitude, haha, that usually only happens with me and printers [03:57] are you using synaptic, or searching online? [03:57] ubuntitude, both [03:57] why is bzip2 so damn freakin slow ? [03:57] they're probably buried somewhere online. You can always find the manufacturer of your wireless card and ask them if they have the drivers on file [03:57] ah pbzip2 ftw [03:58] DCC: you should be able to allocate a certain amount of drive space to Ubuntu [03:58] ubuntitude, the manufactor is apple. That's the problem [03:58] l1sbeth: oh god [03:58] buenas noches [03:58] l1sbeth: Just curious, are you trying to setup a wireless card in an iMac (or something) with b43-fwcutter? [03:59] ubuntitude: I have that chioce but I'm not pc smart enough to to it manually [03:59] l1sbeth: may open source software have mercy on your soul [03:59] ubuntitude, indeed, that's why it has to be extracted from 'within' the card or something [03:59] azbr00, trying to setup an airport extreme on an iBook G4 with b43-fwcutter, yeah [03:59] ubuntitude, haha [03:59] l1sbeth: I don't even know if Apple uses conventional wireless technology. I thought they were big on making their own stuff for everything [04:00] l1sbeth: are you having trouble installing the driver without an Internet connection? [04:00] actually im going to fetch me a Macbook Pro 15 next week and install ubuntu on that thing [04:00] will be fun [04:00] DCC: when you're at that screen, what options do you have? [04:00] its less complicated than installing ubuntu on a vaio Z -.- [04:00] ShayGuy, you still here? [04:00] i have a Dell Latitude D610 from the nineties. Don't talk to me about complicated :P [04:01] either nineties or early 2000s, that is [04:01] anyone here ever use ndiswrapper to setup a wired interface? [04:01] azbr00, no, I'm wired to the wall right now in the most uncomfortable position I've ever found myself in :D [04:01] time_squatter: I have, but I forget how i did it. [04:01] ubuntitude: I'm at the install screen that's titled Allocate drive space: options are: erase and use the entire disk OR soecify partitions manually [04:02] DCC: specify partitions manually [04:02] ubuntitude: check [04:02] DCC: It should be telling you how much space Vista is taking up, and ask you how much you want to set aside for Ubuntu [04:02] ubuntitude: I ran the command with the right .inf file and other files. It said it installed ok but I don't see any extra interface [04:03] 2 [04:03] time_squatter: ndiswrapper, or the wired ethernet itself? [04:03] see you all later, nice talking with you ubuntitude [04:03] l1sbeth: dittp [04:03] l1sbeth: Hmmm... might be different from me then. I had to install the wireless drivers on an iMac G5 the other day (completely off-line) and I had to manually set it up (download everything on another computer and copy it over) [04:03] l1sbeth: ditto* [04:03] ubuntitude: I see 3 different things listed under device, each w/different sizes. i know windows had set up a back-up drive, which I would like to just load ubuntu over but I'm not sure which it is [04:04] DCC: not sure. I installed Ubuntu over a bricked device, so I didn't have to worry about that, and as such, I don't have much experience with it :/ [04:05] hmm...alright, thanks anyway [04:05] ubuntitude: when I type ifconfig -a I don't see any extra intefaces after instalilng the widows driver [04:07] How do I check the version of a package in the repo? [04:08] iszak: apt-cache policy packagename [04:08] Thanks. [04:08] whats the best way to get mirc to work on ubuntu? [04:08] aptitude search pkgname [04:08] time_squatter: so you can't set up the ethernet connection through ubuntu's connection manager? [04:08] iszak: or dpkg -l [04:09] i3onkerz: run it under wine [04:09] ubuntitude: no [04:10] is it possible to expand the partitioned hard drive space i allocated for ubuntu? i am running low on space now :/ [04:10] Trying to install Ubuntu from a USB, but my computer won't recognize it. What can I do about this? [04:10] Thanks ill try that today is my first day in the lin world.. [04:10] welcome [04:10] time_squatter: weird...i didn't need ndiswrapper for my ethernet connection [04:10] maiku_: yes if you have free space in another paritition - but the partitions MUST be unmounted - easily done in gparted off of livecd [04:11] maiku_: or you can just delete some things.... [04:11] habstinat there is a usb down load you need that will help you with that.. [04:12] i3onkerz: Hm? What download? I already mounted 10.10 to my USB stick. [04:12] it will use the .iso file [04:12] Blue1, doesn't that imply it's installed tho? [04:12] well i have 500gb free. [04:12] ubuntitude: i've tried just about everything, I think i'm using ndsiwrapper right. I'm starting to thnik it might be fried or somerthing [04:12] you useing desktop or net book? [04:12] Can anyone point me to a list of the sequence of events that happens when you log in? [04:12] i can unmount with the disk utility [04:12] desktop [04:12] time_squatter: might be. the only time i used ndiswrapper was for wireless. Wired took like 30 seconds to set up for me. [04:13] what do i do? [04:13] i3onkerz: Desktop, x64. [04:13] today is my first day but i used the web site and it had step by step instructions. [04:14] i got it on my net book and got it on my sd drive [04:15] iv been drinken so my brain is being A.d.d [04:15] does ubuntu store all my files that i might want to keep in the home directory, or do i need something else? [04:15] oh. is ndiswrapper only for wireless drivers? It sure does say that in the manual. I didn't notice that [04:15] i3onkerz: Looked at the website, mounted the iso to my USB, but the website says when I reboot my computer will recognize the stick but it doesn't, hence me being here [04:15] time_squatter, yes it is [04:16] so i formatted 307gb to ext4 for ubuntu....now what do i do? mount it back? [04:16] need to goto bios to change boot priorty [04:16] time_squatter: you should just be able to screw around with the network connections interface and it should work === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [04:16] f8 or f2 diffenrt boxes do diffenrt things [04:16] i3onkerz: That's what I'm trying to do, but there doesn't seem to be a key to go to BIOS in the boot screen. [04:17] anyone know when ubuntu 10.10 is using an older kernel than 10.4 LTS? [04:17] why* not when [04:17] i3onkerz: Got it, I think. I'm in BIOS. [04:17] do a restart and hit f8 over and over agin untell somthing happands === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [04:18] change your boot to boot usb first [04:19] does ubuntu store all my files that i might want to restore in the home directory, or do i need something else?

[04:21] maiku_: you'd boot off the live install cd, run gparted, and resize the partitions - this is a very time consuming process [04:21] gotcha. ill give it a go...will it mess with any of my files? [04:21] Can anyone help me, I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 and the resolution is to small but when I go to change it turns the screen to a white/grey and fades in all white. I have found one other res that kinda works but leave verticl lines on the right of my screen on the laptop [04:21] maiku_: note -- partitions MUST be unmounted, and gparted MUST be run as root (sudo) [04:22] Fyrboy5: do you know what the video card is that you have? [04:22] fyrboy unsported vidio card [04:22] okay so unmount the spare partition and just pop the live cd in? [04:23] maybe? [04:23] wrong driver? [04:23] ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 [04:23] maiku_: no no - you must BOOT off the livecd -- this sounds like it might be a bit over your head [04:23] no i understand. [04:23] I am very much a noob to Ubuntu [04:24] ill figure it out. [04:24] Should it usually take > 5 minutes to load the booting from USB? [04:24] mobility cards are not main stream drivers... hope the other peeps here could point you in the right direction. [04:25] My computer has just had a black screen for a while. [04:25] ati sucks with ubu [04:25] :( [04:25] how to make vim don't wrap a long line? [04:25] screen saver habtinat? [04:25] chalcedony: copy over what you think you need, but keep the drive in the enclosure around in case you forgot something you needed [04:25] Habstinat, thats normal i think, mine dows that too but i can see my mouse [04:26] WilliamHerry: top result: http://www.google.com/search?q=vim+wrap+lines [04:26] Tweedle: The screen appears to be off. No mouse. [04:26] chelz logical, but am i likely to get it if we get the home directory? (and thanks for coming back and answering) [04:26] Tweedle: Just set up the BIOS to boot from USB right before. [04:27] How do you remove software that was installed with 'make install' ?? [04:27] chalcedony: it totally depends on what you were doing. generally i'd say yes, but system configuration stuff might not be. [04:27] thechitowncubs: make uninstall [04:27] chelz: thanks [04:28] chelz: i should search google first [04:28] WilliamHerry: yes :) [04:28] chelz i don't have a new drive, just the one i'm on, i think, there's another 8.04 sata drive in another box, but i don't know if i want to mess with that [04:28] Erm, my screen is still completely black but the hard drive is still humming. Can someone help me out? [04:28] chalcedony: i thought you said you got a new "box", which i assumed was a full new computer tower [04:29] hey, on 10.10 if I click a ttf file it gives me the option to install this font... I dont see that option on 9... [04:29] is there some app I need to install/upgrade to do that? [04:29] chelz, no, i got new parts, put them in the old case, and have been using this drive since ummm august 2009 [04:30] has any one got mirc to work on wine? [04:30] chalcedony: well you could backup your /home, /etc, /var, and /root onto some DVDs (might want to encrypt them) and that should get it all. [04:30] Hi chalcedony ! [04:30] Long time no see [04:30] hey DrManhattan :)) [04:30] good to see you [04:30] you too [04:31] I havent been into any of those xian channels in a long time [04:31] I'm not sure whether to restart or wait it out, my computer is at stake here...? [04:31] chelz doesn't work for me? [04:31] thechitowncubs: it depends on where you got the software from. you probably should ask them. [04:31] DrManhattan, i see, i'm on a few other things too, on unet [04:32] its a joke that in this day and age installing fonts is a chore [04:32] jamescarr: .fonts then run that command to rebuild the fontdb [04:32] yeah you permbanned me off of everything at one point :D === Tweedle is now known as Tweedle[afk] [04:33] jamescarr: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+install+ttf [04:33] DrManhattan, ah well golly, maybe things have changed? [04:33] Typing this from my phone, please can someone help me? Trying to install Ubuntu from a USB but computer has been black screen for about 15 minutes? [04:33] Habstinat: did you use unetbootin? [04:33] chalcedony, im not worried about. I don't need to waste my time on any of that jesus stuff anyhow [04:33] hey [04:33] chelz, there is no "install font" button on this installation [04:34] I'm currently running my code by typing "g++ dunemodel.cpp -Wall -o dunemodel && ./dunemodel" But I want the console to highlight if I get a segfault. Is there some command I could pipe output through that would highlight the phrase "segfault"??? [04:34] jamescarr: check it out: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+install+ttf [04:34] i need help with my Banshee Media Player [04:34] Okay, back. Hope this is the last time. [04:34] chelz: I changed BIOS to boot from USB, and I mounted the 10.10 x64 iso using the mounting software in Ubuntu, not sure what unetbootin is? [04:34] aurilliance: grep will highlight [04:34] Something like "g++ dunemodel.cpp -Wall -o dunemodel && ./dunemodel | grep segfault" but it needs to display all the output as well as highlighting the segfault words [04:34] it keeps crashing [04:35] chelz, I want it to also display all the output as per normal [04:35] chelz it will get whatever hidden files if i get home and what you said? [04:35] chelz, But with highlighted words interspersed [04:35] if a turkey farts in a tree does it make a sound? [04:35] Banshee Media Player keeps crashing [04:35] Habstinat: hmm that should work. do you see any kind of ubuntu logo? i mean you could try rebooting [04:35] #bookz [04:35] i did [04:35] sigh.. [04:36] chalcedony: yeah, keeping those around would be good. but if you have the space a tar of it all wouldn't be bad i guess [04:36] chelz: No, just black screen. Will reboot now. [04:36] jamescarr: there are like ten guides on the first page alone srsly [04:36] Did the guys who were helping me with my wireless before leave? [04:36] every time i press a song or a song ends it crashes [04:36] okay, let me rephrase the question because the google results show me how to manually install fonts. "I want the same 'install fonts' feature that 10.10 has but in 9.04. What is the package I need to install/upgrade?" [04:36] aurilliance: maybe something like colorgcc if it supports g++ [04:37] is there a practical way to set up triple monitors with ati? [04:37] Lilu Dallas Multipass [04:37] jamescarr: i just don't understand what the big hubbub about fonts is... just put the fonts you want in ~/.fonts and you're done... can't be any easier [04:37] nvm I found out [04:37] jamescarr: what is it called? [04:37] aurilliance: though if you do find a filter that would highlight words .. come back and sahre it. I've looked for something like that as wll [04:38] tecnico, sure [04:38] rdw200169, yeah yeah yeah... I justed wanted the package that lets me click and install. Makes it shit easy when downloading them because I dont have to manually move em around [04:38] chelz, dave says he might not have room for it all, so that's why i was asking [04:38] chelz: Which one should boot first? "+USB HDD", "USB CD", or "USB FDD"? [04:38] yeah yeah yeah, I know that I'm lame by not just moving them, but I like the easy click and install [04:39] Roasted: this might be outdated but would be a good starting point: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [04:39] chelz, I was just curious if it was possible. Buddy of mine was asking. I only ever used nvidia with ubuntu so I wasn't sure. Speaking of which, I wonder if its easy to set up triple screen with nvidia on ubuntu????? [04:40] !hcl | blue1 [04:40] Blue1, please see my private message [04:40] chalcedony: well you can leave out /var/cache/apt/archives, the rest should be hardly anything. [04:40] chelz: You there? [04:40] Roasted: in my experience it's super easy with nvidia with the nvidia settings manager [04:40] chelz, with triple monitors tho? [04:41] chelz, "twinview" doesnt scream triple though. Do you use separate X? [04:41] Habstinat: that shouldn't matter [04:41] Roasted: i don't know of anyone that uses separate X [04:41] thanks chelz :) [04:41] Roasted: exactly. i think twinview is only supported on one card, or some sort of SLI thing so you get all the DVI ports you would need [04:41] I do :/ [04:41] chelz: So any of those can be first? [04:41] Does anyone here know how to configure psyBNC for xchat? [04:41] chalcedony: backup now! use something like dropbox [04:41] chalcedony, i will have to thank you, in the long run you spared me the trouble of bothering with your religion anymore. It helped me to recognize my supposed faith as nothing more than a way of coping with the death and suffering I saw in the military and move onto a more rational life. [04:41] chalcedony: or actually Ubuntu One, since that supports canonical [04:42] Roasted: regardless, if any thing, you can have separate X servers, etc... running for 2 different cards [04:42] rdw200169, well for example, I have nvidia with a dvi/vga splitter and dual DVI out... so technically I could wire up 3 monitors easily. If I would, what settings in vnidia-settings would I use? [04:42] Habstinat: generally there's a button you can press to call up a list of devices to boot to. on my laptop it's esc [04:42] Roasted: depends on how that splitter interacts with x... nowadays all resolution config etc... is done through EDID which is reported by the monitor... [04:42] Roasted: make sure your video card actually supports running two monitors with that splitter [04:43] chelz, yeha, I suppose I should. [04:43] To review: wireless still not working, hardware switch turned on, last thing I was told was that /etc/network/interfaces might need fiddling with. [04:43] Roasted: this is more of a "can your card do it", "does nvidia support it in their driver", and "will x autoconfigure that for me"? [04:43] I'm trying to set up psyBNC in xchat and I can't figure out how to configure it. Someone please help [04:43] chelz, I'm just curious how my buddy did it with his ATI. He needs 3 monitors for work but windows supports it, ubuntu doesnt. Not sure what he did but... thats why I was asking. [04:43] ShayGuy: what version of ubuntu? and does your wifi work when you boot to a livecd? [04:43] Roasted: lots of fun questions to ask, that require some bit of research on your part to ensure it works, before you go buying a bunch of fancy hardware! [04:44] got a quick question: if I reformat my USB stick to install ubuntu, do I need it to boot Ubunty later, or can I reformat it for regular use again? [04:44] Teh_Chaos, formatting it puts it to regular use. [04:44] chelz: Maverick, and I don't know. It was working until Wednesday. [04:44] Roasted: no one said it wasn't supported, just that most of us don't have 3 monitors and a pile of nvidia cards to play with... [04:44] Roasted: oh ubuntu definitely supports 3 monitors if windows supports it, just it's not easy. people coming from Windows usually aren't so good at the terminal instructions required [04:44] Teh_Chaos, I have formatted mine no less than 80 times. :P [04:44] ShayGuy: what happened on wednesday? [04:44] Alright, so here's what happens: 1. I boot up, get computer manufacturer splash screen 2. Get a purple screen with the Ubuntu accessibility controls on the bottom for about a second 3. I get a flashing underscore in the top left 4. Screen goes black and I am stuck... [04:44] chelz ubuntu one is something about putting my files on the web - 'cloud computing' ? [04:44] chelz, okay. I was just curious if it were possible. :P [04:45] chalcedny: its more like Dropbox [04:45] I don't know. I just opened it up at one point and Wicd wasn't picking up wireless networks I knew were there. [04:45] how do i connect to web server using ssh? [04:45] chelz: I don't know. I just opened it up at one point and Wicd wasn't picking up wireless networks I knew were there. [04:45] Roasted: So if I check off to format my USB stick in the Universal USB installer, I can still use it for other things? And do I need to keep the Ubuntu files on it, or can Ubuntu run w/o them? [04:45] ShayGuy, what wifi card do you have [04:45] chalcedony: it's like having a usb stick that's far away. the chances of something like a fire taking out your house *and* the ubuntu one servers are pretty slim, so it's a good place to backup to [04:46] Roasted: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) [04:46] Teh_Chaos, what did you use the flash drive for? Did you install Ubuntu FROM the flash drive for 1 time installation purposes? Or are you running Ubuntu from your actual flash drive. [04:46] ShayGuy, that sucker should work... [04:46] Intel is sweet with linux drivers. [04:46] chelz: My computer just flashed something for a split second, was too quick to see what it was [04:47] chelz: Or at least, I think it did... [04:47] Habstinat: try finding a pdf version of the manual for your computer online [04:47] chelz thanks but i like my data where i can touch it, if you know what i mean. [04:47] Roasted: It worked fine until Wednesday. (Rebooting hasn't helped.) [04:47] Roasted: I haven't done anything yet, I'm running the Universal USB installer now. I'm planning to install it from the flash drive (not do the "try it out" thing) [04:47] ShayGuy, what changed wednesday? any updates? [04:47] Roasted: No, no obvious causes. [04:47] Teh_Chaos, Do you plan to ever re-use the flash drive for installing ubuntu? Or do you want to install it and get it back to normal use after the installation is done? [04:47] chalcedony: well if your house burned down say, it's generally good to have some fairly recent backup of your data somewhere that didn't burn. usb stick and a bank safe deposit box works for some, ubuntu one for others [04:47] Hi, I installed Avant Window Navigator and I see to have a problem with getting themes to work on my icons. Anyone else use AWN? [04:48] Roasted: I would like to use the flash drive for normal use after installing Ubuntu, I assume I can set it up again if I need to re-install, but my question was basically if after installing Ubuntu from a flash drive, if I needed the flash drive to _run_ it. [04:48] herro, what exactly is the problem? === Connor1_ is now known as Connor1 [04:49] they ought to have a giant cloud to serve VM's to the poor [04:49] give poor folk a bunch of terminals [04:49] Teh_Chaos, no, the flash drive will act as your LiveCD. Once installed, you dont need the LiveCD (or live flash drive in this case). You can format it to get it to regular flash-drive-use afterwards with NO need to have the flash drive plugged into the system. Because at that point, Ubuntu is on your internal hard drive, and runs independently there. [04:49] Teh_Chaos: you do not need the flash to run ubuntu normally if you did a normal install. you can feel free to format the flash. [04:49] how do i connect to web server using ssh command? [04:49] Alright, thanks guys. [04:50] Teh_Chaos, some people have ultra high speed flash drives that they install the Ubuntu OS to, and leave it plugged in 247 and run their OS from it. [04:50] Teh_Chaos, I just wanted to make sure you werent doing THAT, because in that case - YES you need the flash drive plugged in. [04:50] Well - the theme I installed should reduce the icons from full-fledged colour to simply dark outlines, this does not seem to work [04:50] chelz: Ok, it's a Lenovo IBM ThinkPad W700ds if you wanted to know [04:50] It's the Antidust theme for AWN 0.4.x, if that helps. [04:50] herro, in your dock preferences under task manager, what is your Settings - Icons: set to? [04:50] Roasted:No, I'm installing to my hard drive. Thanks for your help! [04:50] Teh_Chaos, have a good one! [04:51] how do i connect to web server using ssh command? [04:51] Habstinat: google tells me about that laptop's boot menu: " [04:51] When IBM logo appears at start up, press F1 (or you can see on the screen what key to press example 'ACCESS' button)." [04:51] ssh user@webserver ? [04:51] Habstinat: probably f1 or f12 [04:51] It says 'overlay best quality icon with application icon' [04:52] chelz: I know, already got to BIOS a while ago. [04:52] Think it was F1 [04:52] Habstinat: erm, there's bios then there's a boot menu where you can select which device to continue booting to [04:53] How do i make my splash screen (plymouth) to happen, as it fell back to usplash [04:53] chelz: I selected my flash drive but then what I said before happens [04:53] herro, I have mine set to use best quality icons. Perhaps other settings hcanges there will help? [04:54] chelz: "Habstinat: Alright, so here's what happens: 1. I boot up, get computer manufacturer splash screen 2. Get a purple screen with the Ubuntu accessibility controls on the bottom for about a second 3. I get a flashing underscore in the top left 4. Screen goes black and I am stuck...

I use awn but I'm not that familiar with it to go any further than what little I suggested already. [04:56] chelz: It uses an SD card for memory...

[04:59] im running ubuntu in vmware [04:59] bloodlife, this is a good walkthrough : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades/Kubuntu [05:00] chelz: Is it possible that it's a problem with the USB? [05:00] chelz: I asked there first: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1619524 [05:00] Habstinat: that is a possibility. trying another usb stick would be something to do. if none of that other stuff works, you should try the 10.10 alternate installer. [05:00] xangua: But is there any way around? I love the calender to be at the bottom right! :( [05:01] @Bawn Which 1 u think s better Kubuntu r Ubuntu..? [05:01] ShayGuy: ah i mean search not post [05:01] Can anyone help me,keeping in mind I am very much a n00b to this os, I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 and the resolution is to small but when I go to change it turns the screen to a white/grey and fades in all white. I have found one other res that kinda works but leave verticl lines on the right of my screen on the laptop it has a ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 [05:01] xyz: so ubuntu is a guest os, what is the host os? [05:01] windows 7 x64 [05:01] i used to love kde in kubuntu, but decided ubuntu is way faster to get to where i am going [05:02] chelz: Couldn't think of any keywords to search for that would turn up my particular problem. Mainly because I'm not sure what my problem IS. [05:02] chelz: Had some trouble when installing it via Wubi too for the first time. Had to edit the boot script but luckily someone over here helped me out with that [05:02] bloodlife if u like elegance, kubuntu is the way to go [05:02] how do i find my actual ip in ubuntu [05:02] Fyrboy5, you might want to look up your video card and ubuntu 10whatever, and see what drivers you need t get. [05:02] which i can connect to from the outside ? [05:02] @Bawn how abt the performance..? [05:02] bloodlife, if you like the advanced settings of kde, that's good too [05:03] Even if I knew I would have no idea what to do with them [05:03] i'm new 2 kubuntu..tryin 2 explore..;-) [05:03] bloodlife, the performance, i think would go to xubuntu>ubunutu>kubuntu [05:03] Habstinat: I missed most of the conversation but I think you are trying to boot of your usb stick and can't? If USB doesn't show when you boot and press F11 (or F2 on other systems) then you have to add the USB as a bootable device in the list of bootable devices on BIOS. For that I've also have had systems when I first had to plug the stick before it would appear as a choice to select on the bios to make it a choice to boot from [05:03] how do i find my actual ip in ubuntu [05:03] ShayGuy: http://google.com/search?q=site%3Aubuntuforums.org+3945ABG+10.10 [05:03] bloodlife, you can have both in the same installation, that was my fix for the whole choosing thing [05:04] Habstinat: well the alternate disc will work for sure, just a bit different looking [05:04] ok..any 1 here from india..? [05:04] chelz: None of these seem to match my problem. [05:05] tecnico: Did that already, I think something must be corrupted along the line.

[05:08] Bawn: maybe something did't got right installed [05:08] I just spent a while with someone trying to figure that out with no luck [05:08] the applet, i think, would be seperate, and i need to find where it came from [05:09] Fyrboy5: do you know if you have intel, ati, or nvidia graphics? [05:09] I would think ati [05:09] Fyrboy5, have you went to System>Administration>Additional drivers? [05:09] Fyrboy5: is there a sticker on your computer that says ati? [05:10] yes, it's an ati [05:10] laptop it has a ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 [05:10] Fyrboy5, try out System>Administration>Additional drivers? [05:11] looking now [05:11] I wonder if anyone of you has got a link which has he screenshots of all the installation process of ubuntu 10.10 over Vista. The ones I saw usually take the easy route of erasing the entire disk . I want the option 3 where we have to specify the partitons manually.. [05:11] Bawn: when the Drivers thing doesn't work, it's generally easiest to just install the package manually. nvidia-glx for nvidia i know. i'm looking into the names of the ati packages now [05:12] Fyrboy5: opening up a terminal and doing: sudo apt-get install fglrx [05:12] i agree chelz [05:13] i can help people with JACK problems [05:14] Anyone know how to use gnuplot? [05:14] ok Chelz I will try that and see what happens [05:15] Fyrboy5: please tell me what it outputs. if it's more than one line please pastebin it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [05:15] is there an easy way / pre-made script that will scan a publicly writeable directory (the fact that it's publicly writeable shoudn't matter) and move files into a non-public directory once they've finished writing? [05:15] just one screen [05:16] ok after install do i have to reboot ? [05:16] yes [05:16] here goes nothing [05:16] gl [05:16] thanks lol [05:17] cyphase, what do you mean by scan [05:18] Woohoo resolution works normal now Thanks guys! [05:18] and Gals [05:18] good :) [05:18] your welcome fyrboy5 [05:18] imma dude [05:19] i can help people with JACK problems [05:21] naturally, most people have trouble with JACK and Creative Soundblaster cards === share is now known as share_ [05:21] hi [05:21] can someone help me connect to my vpn [05:21] xyz hello [05:22] okay [05:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/531544/ [05:22] I have read that older nvidia cards no longer work in maverick. Is that correct? [05:22] i get that error [05:22] in the log [05:22] Some_Person, i have an old nvidia card, and it works great [05:22] Some_Person: only really, really old ones. iirc maverick still has the 75 driver [05:22] Would an MX440 work? [05:23] er 98 [05:23] 96 even [05:24] no idea hat the No VPN secrets means [05:24] xyz me neither [05:24] xyz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991144 [05:25] not so hard to google " vpn failed to connect 'no vpn secrets' " and wamm you get a ton of results [05:25] Would a GeForce MX440 work in maverick? [05:26] Some_Person: i think so, with nvidia-96. you could try a quick install in a small partition just to test [05:26] try 'sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart' out [05:27] xyz try 'sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart' out [05:27] chelz: I'm seeing forum posts that say differently :-( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592628 [05:28] I just got a firewire card and have a device connected to it. How can I enumerate devices so I can get the devices GUID? [05:29] GF MX4400 Why not? [05:29] Some_Person: Your best bet is to try a Live CD of Maverick and see if it works. [05:29] Suddenly today xubuntu is not showing the top and bottom panels. How can i restore it again? I'm using Xubuntu 10.10 [05:30] Some_Person: well 10.04 is an LTS so it'll be supported for a long while [05:30] FusionX|Xubuntu: run: xfce4-panel [05:30] Er1K: syslog or dmesg [05:30] when I type in "ifconfig eth0" I have a traffic statistic "RX bytes:561299448 (535.2 MiB) TX bytes:15131370 (14.4 MiB)", how can I drop all statistic to zero? [05:30] xangua: will i have to enter it always after xubuntu starts up? [05:31] rusivi: I will (Windows XP is installing on the machine at this very moment, so I can't), but that won't tell me if the proprietary driver works because it's not loaded on the live CD [05:31] not using xfce a long time FusionX|Xubuntu there is #xubuntu [05:31] Er1K: there used to be a tool called ls1394 to enumerate firewire devs [05:31] FusionX, you might need to make it a startup command === Termana_ is now known as Termana [05:31] what's your favourite msn alternative? amsn seems kind of..plain [05:32] jaybird: Pidgin. [05:32] Pdigin ftw [05:32] jaybird: emesene [05:32] jaybird: pidgin, empathy, emesene, kmess, etc [05:32] rusivi: I'm not even sure if a decent nvidia driver is on the live CD. I seem to remember getting a crappy resolution when I ran the Lucid CD, though I may be remembering wrong [05:32] alt + F2: xfce4-panel [05:32] Am I the only one who's been using amsn this whole time? [05:32] emesene is only for msn, pidgin is multiclient .. [05:32] jaybird: no [05:33] Some_Person: 2 friends of mine both have Nvidia cards (IDK model) Prop drivers & FOSS worked fine in Maverick. [05:33] jabalsad: but doesnt hurt to try other clients [05:33] yeah, going to do that now [05:33] also, are there any other alternative picture viewers/file browsers [05:34] jaybird, alot [05:34] jaybird: if you use Software Center you'll find them easily [05:35] jaybird, what do you want in a picture viewer that would suit your taste/ what do you hate about the existing one? [05:35] jaybird have you tried Piccasa [05:35] tango__, don't even bring that up [05:35] why? Picassa works fine [05:35] I don't hate it, but sometimes it wouldn't open stuff and I recall it being a bit clunky [05:36] jaybird, I have been looking for some time and have tried many of the ones out there [05:36] clunky is the word for it [05:36] picasa is bad because it's closed source and proprietary [05:36] I like digikam [05:36] jaybird, in all honestly none are perfect [05:36] ubuntu devs can't fix it up [05:36] i prefer gthumb and eye of gnome myself [05:36] jaybird, and that's unforutnate... [05:36] did you find any you likes, cozziemoto? [05:37] What is wrong with Shotwell [05:37] jaybird, no but each has it good points [05:37] jaybird: for image viewer i use 'viewnoir' [05:37] jaybird, albimshaper is interesting but a bit less user friendly [05:37] http://xsisqox.github.com/Viewnior/ [05:38] jaybird, picassa works well..but I found manipulating folders to be a bit odd , I should try it again [05:38] should i do symbian application development in Windows (Carbide C++) or in Ubuntu 10.04 (ensymble)? [05:38] jaybird, rather albumshaper [05:38] Spend time with Picassa it is worth the effort [05:39] jaybird, not that this is a suggestion but until you test them all you wont find that is less irritating :) === share_ is now known as share [05:39] Er1K: in case you didn't find it: http://user.in-berlin.de/~s5r6/linux1394/utils/ls1394_v20070103 [05:39] Does booting the kernel with the quiet command line option supress ALL possible output from the kernel?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:44] can someone help me with fsck.ntfs? [05:44] where can i install the pulseaudio sound applet, i accidentally uninstalled with pulsaudio [05:44] i.e. what package i have to install to get it [05:44] tango__: what's you mean? [05:44] How can I reinstall ubuntu without wiping /home ? [05:45] hey all [05:45] Some_Person: is /home on a separate partition? [05:45] Image for Linux is like Nortom Ghost ..Just want to see if anyone has used it [05:45] alkisg: Sadly, no [05:45] Some_Person, you can always copy /home to a different location (possibly a usb drive) [05:45] Some_Person: Then make a backup of it, e.g. with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR [05:46] kitty_: As if I have a drive with 20GB free just lying around right now [05:46] Some_Person: you need to back up and then restore, unless it you have it on a separate partition. [05:46] kitty_: no such thing as fsck.ntfs in ubuntu generally, unless you symlink ntfsfix from ntfsprogs [05:46] sudo mount -o loop myfile.iso somedirectory [05:46] Hello. Is there a precompiled gcc 2.95 for ubuntu somewhere? [05:46] chelz, what program should i be using to check a ntfs partition then? [05:46] hey all, now that flash doesn't store in the /tmp, how do you go about saving flash video from the web? [05:46] Some_Person: you can resize your existing partition and keep it as the new /home [05:47] alkisg: I'd rather keep it all as one partition [05:47] Some_Person: I think that's also possible, if you tell the installer that you want to use the same partition, I think it only wipes /var, /usr etc [05:48] alkisg: I would need confirmation of this [05:50] skrite: there are many programs on the web for this task, even some specific to youtube. google it or try get-flash-videos (CLI) [05:50] Actually, if somebody could just fix my freezing problem, I won't have to reinstall [05:50] what is causing it? [05:51] should i do symbian application development in Windows (Carbide C++) or in Ubuntu 10.04 (ensymble)? [05:51] kitty_: ntfsfix like i said. also like all the top google results for "ntfs fsck ubuntu" say ntfsfix [05:52] Some_Person: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityPreserveHome [05:52] rigved, right, but the ones i need are not on youtube. and almost all extensions target youtube [05:52] is symbian still alive.. android seems to have taken over [05:52] skrite: also, there is a firefox extension called Download Helper [05:53] tecnico: it will be phased out of nokia phones sometime in the near future === Shy is now known as Branden [05:53] tecnico, nokia has reasserted command over symbian [05:53] How do I enable vsync? I don't have compiz and I've turned it on in nvidia-settings, but I'm still getting a lot of tearing [05:53] chelz, i don't think ntfsfix is actually scanning the drive, it should take more then 3 seconds to scan a 500Gb external usb drive [05:53] Since quiet doesn't disable all kernel printing is there any other way to disable all printing than sed deleting printk lines in the kernsel source and recompiling? [05:53] tecnico: but right now i have a symbian phone, so i wanted to find out which was the best way to do it? [05:54] kitty_: not sure. just that's the closest thing to fsck [05:54] Hello again, I'm trying to install Ubuntu from a USB drive, I've got the USB drive set up, but I'm having some difficulties installing it alongside Windows. The guide on the Ubuntu side seems to be outdated, as my installer does not look quite like that. [05:54] When I go to System -> Preferences -> About me, I am able to give all sorts of informations, like my name, my e-mail address, an avatar.What is it made for?

[05:55] so are there any ways to fix the fs besides loading up windows? [05:55] chelz: okay let me check - yeah it's a .dot file [05:55] anyone know why Slim in ubuntu isn't pulling from my ~/.xinitrc file? [05:55] oh, is that just the documentation?

[05:55] Blue1: alright then. dotfiles are hidden from view unless you do something extra usually in normal viewing [05:56] chelz: how do I make it NOT backup trash - maybe I could try an exclude? [05:56] lapion: According to the man page it does more than that (though not much). [05:56] can anyone help me with hp mini netbook wireless not working [05:56] Blue1: well if there's nothing else in that folder you might as well delete the folder [05:56] lapion: have you tried symbian development in ubuntu (using ensymble)? [05:56] kitty_, ntfs is not a good idea in linux since the ntfs userland driver is slow, [05:56] rigved, no not into development [05:56] kitty_: make sure you backup anything important off the drive before running chkdsk btw [05:56] !details | nabila [05:56] nabila: Please give us full details.

[05:57] lapion: do you mean not into symbian application development? [05:57] Blue1: restart rsync? and are you sure the thing is gone?

[05:59] yes on it rite now [05:59] chelz: first time run on freshly installed system. [05:59] greg_: is your resolution set properly? [05:59] rigved: there are no buttons at all [05:59] wookiehangover: done that already, added nvidia-settings -l to my autostart.sh, and still getting tearing =/ [05:59] Blue1: ctrl c on rsync. make rsync stop.MAKE IT SOTP [06:00] chelz: problem is it's trying to backup 136G of nothing.

[06:08] shing`: that might be worth a shot [06:08] kitty_: Blue1: true, but those fsck won't do anything for ntfs volumes. Worst case, an ntfs volume may need to be connected to a windows system to run a full chkdsk [06:08] Blue1: rsync sees it [06:08] shing`: you can also specify that per display in nvidia-settings [06:08] chelz: well now it can't -- but it's odd I'v e never seen this behaviour from rsync - ever! [06:08] shing`: just make sure to click "Save to X Configuration File" before you quit [06:09] shing`: but I'm generally weary of editing xorg.conf by hand these days [06:09] anyone can help me get gigatribe working ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/531564/ [06:10] ntfsresize will check it just not repair, which i guess is what i'm after so i can verify the validity of the request to scan [06:10] chelz: thanks for listening to me whine!

'No Reason Specified' [06:29] 10.10 wont come with the old remix, you can get things like the distro easypeasy that come with the old remix [06:29] furi: Can you give a more detailed description of what happens when you try to boot? What file are you talking about specifically and have you edited it recently? [06:31] Jordan_U, i usually don't reboot. in fact, the time between each boot personally is longer than a month or two. anyways, what happens when i boot is it's stuck on the very beginning of the boot where it's starting up the essentials. when it starts loading the console prefs, it just stops, but there's a line after that containing ^[[12;2R [06:32] Jordan_U, also, i rebooted because i was trying to install a desktop terminal by using devilspie. i created a terminal profile on gnome-terminal named DesktopTerminal, i believe, and downloaded devilspie to make it start when i login. [06:32] R u an autist [06:32] R u n analist? [06:32] R u an autist analist??? [06:32] lemonpart: maybe [06:33] Then the lemonparty might be just what you're looking for [06:33] yesssss [06:33] Lemonpart, i was in one before [06:33] not really... [06:33] I don't understand why ubuntu would use empathy if it sucks so much [06:34] spectrahp, i think i use empathy, but i forgot actually. haven't been on my HDD boot for 6 days or so,. [06:34] furi, I mean, why make it the default chat client with ubuntu if it can't even connect to gtalk [06:34] it goes alright, but i think pidgin is far more developed and thus better :\ [06:35] furi: Rather than saying things like "when it starts loading the console prefs" it's better to describe the output you see. [06:35] spectrahp, never mind, i got it confused with an audio player. i'm an idiot. i use irssi for irc [06:35] Jordan_U, hold on a moment [06:36] Jordan_U, * Setting console screen modes and fonts [06:36] Jordan_U, ^[[12;2R [06:36] Jordan_U, those are the last two lines that appear in the booting process [06:37] Jordan_U, and then it just stops.

If not then please pastebin your /var/log/dpkg.log (which you can access from a LiveCD). [06:39] Jordan_U, no i do not. i'll pastebin that file. [06:39] Jordan_U, come to think of it, is there a command to put the contents of a text-based file into the clipboard? [06:39] ok guys maybe next time thanks .... [06:40] !pastebinit | furi [06:40] furi: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:44] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/RE0dFd8s [06:44] Hi [06:44] please, can you give me a program on ubuntu to do a video tutorial??

[06:46] furi: Is there a reason you're using OSS4?

[06:47] I am having a huge trouble getting the grub bootloader back after installing windows. I have followed many tutorials, but nothing I do seems to work === CryptiCreature is now known as Galindar [06:48] can anyone work with me a bit to get it resolved? [06:48] Jordan_U, i was removing and reinstalling because it failed to start. i THOUGHT it was the problem with the boot but it isn't. === Galindar is now known as Guest14215 [06:49] Stop it [06:49] Im poz [06:49] Please I don't want video editor [06:49] I want a video capture software [06:50] with auto zooming, flowwing the mouse... [06:50] gtk-recordMyDesktop [06:50] to create video tutorials [06:50] I tried it [06:50] aule: Follow this one: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide If you have any questions / problems I'd be glad to help. [06:50] h [06:50] but the quality was awful [06:50] it lets you choose the quality [06:50] wassgha, if you get a regular simple desktop recorder, and you use compiz, you can zoom in on the mouse. [06:50] the quality was set at 100% [06:51] Jordan: ok ill start working if I have trouble ill let you know [06:51] furi: how??? [06:51] wassgha, the regular bind thingies are set to super (windows logo key) + scroll up/down [06:51] ah!!! [06:51] thank you very much [06:52] wassgha, no problem. [06:52] does ubuntu use the anaconda installer? [06:52] wassgha, there is a settings manager for compiz.

I've forgotten [06:52] wassgha, i believe it's ccsm [06:52] compizconfig-settings-manager [06:53] wassgha, yes, that === patrick is now known as Guest21624 [06:53] thank you very much furi ;) [06:53] wassgha, you can add extra stuff to the zoom, like setting the zoom level to go right around a window [06:53] wassgha, it's no problem [06:53] ok i'll see [06:53] furi: Just to be sure I understand. You had problems booting, so you tried removing oss4 and it didn't solve the problem? Did you remove it via chroot or are you able to boot and get to a shell another way? [06:53] Hi :) What package contains the 'fprint' binary? [06:54] Or is it not a binary at all? [06:54] Jordan_U, used a chrooted terminal. i CAN get to the shell, but i prefer a chrooted terminal so i don't have to reboot via disc if it doesn't work [06:54] nm ... printf is what it is.

[06:56] shani: fprint, on the other hand, is for fingerprint readers [06:57] shai: see what Jordan_U and i said ^ [06:57] Jordan: what would my recourse be from here?

Somehow i manage to funk my Plymouth...as in the text now looks vaguely tie-dyed, is duplicated on screen, and completely unreadable. I started to , but it wanted to remove over 600 packages, and I didn't think that was a good idea...is there some simplier way of repairing it? [06:59] WilliamHerry, thanks - that would explain why ubuntu installs and anaconda based installs wont [07:00] my touch pad is hanging time to time after installing ubuntu 10.10 [07:00] vu1kan: you dont remove plymouth. you can turn it off and have a text only login screen/boot screen. but that wont explain what broke it. [07:00] vu1kan: whats your video card? [07:00] Dr_Willis: it's onboard [07:00] anaconda is used one redhat and fedora [07:00] and sabayon [07:00] 32mb [07:01] aule: To follow that guide you would need a 64 bit LiveCD (any distro would do). But there are other options depending on what you have. What version of Ubuntu do you have installed and what liveCD? [07:01] and i was intending to remove/reinstall it [07:01] but sabayon and fedora both epic fail on install, and ubuntu installs with no issues [07:01] DrManhattan: ubuntu's installer is called Ubiquity for GUI installs, but the text installer is debian-installer [07:01] thanks maco [07:01] vu1kan: That dosent really tell us what chipset it is. :) Intel? ATI? Nvidia? S3? [07:02] how do i get sound to work on all programs [07:02] my touch pad is hanging time to time after installing ubuntu 10.10....can any one solve this problem??? [07:02] vu1kan: theres a reinstall option for apt. but its possible that wont fix anything, unless you have done somthing to plymouth to break those specific plymouth files. [07:02] brb [07:03] how to extract .img files in ubuntu? [07:03] my touch pad is hanging time to time after installing ubuntu 10.10....can any one solve this problem??? [07:03] Dr_Willis: sorry 'bout the imprecision...it's a via processor/mobo...i haven't mussed with plymouth at all, it just went all funky on me one day...it boots just fine, but i'd like to be able to read the messages that the check disk outputs [07:03] my screenlets wont start at startup eve when i have checked the "open with startup button".WHAT TO DO? [07:03] pksadiq: if its a cd/dvd image file. I belive the fuseiso and fuseiso9660 tools can 'mount' them. to access the files. THeres also some tools i think that can cvonvert them to iso. [07:04] Dr_Willis: it's a floppy image, not iso [07:04] Dr_Willis: is there some command i could use to output the exact chipset? [07:04] vu1kan: you can try editing the /etc/default/grub file and edit the line as following... [07:05] vu1kan: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [07:05] pksadiq: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.img /mnt/ [07:05] Dr_Willis: file doesn't exist...i was poking through ubuntuforums.org and saw that [07:05] vu1kan: replace "Quiet splash" with "" and rerun 'sudo update-grub' that should turn 'off' plymouth. [07:05] vu1kan: then you are not using grub2. [07:05] vu1kan: what ubuntu version are you using? [07:05] how od i turn on plymouth [07:05] Dr_Willis: it says grub1.5 at boot; 10.04.1 [07:06] vu1kan: you upgraded this machine to 10.04? [07:06] Dr_Willis: from 8.04, yea [07:06] Jordan_U: => mount: you must specify the filesystem type [07:07] vu1kan: thats why its using the old grub then. You sould edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to disable plymouth in a similer way I imagine. [07:07] pksadiq: What type of floppy image is it? [07:07] Dr_Willis: i'm not really after disabling plymouth, i'd rather repair it so that it's readable [07:07] how do i turn on plymouth? [07:07] .img, I believe its the format used with all Floppy images, it's a small linux distro [07:08] my screenlets wont start at startup eve when i have checked the "open with startup button".WHAT TO DO? [07:08] !plymouth [07:08] Dr_Willis: sometimes remove/replace of a package fixes broken stuff...it seemed the best troubleshooting course, to me [07:08] noob needs help with sound please? [07:08] !plymouth|bawn [07:09] pksadiq: Floppy images are usually just bit for bit dumps of the floppy contents. Those contents can contain any number of filesystems or partition tables (though you usually don't have a partition table on a floppy). [07:09] vu1kan: ive never seen remove/reinstalling a package ever fix anything in linux.. [07:09] pksadiq: Can you pastebin the output of "file -k /path/to/file.img" ? [07:09] mount mystuff.img /mnt/mymntpoint -o loop [07:09] vu1kan: if you never altered any plymouth files.. then it will just restplace them with identical copies. [07:09] Jordan_U: let me try [07:09] rm -rf / [07:09] where can i install the pulseaudio sound applet, i accidentally uninstalled with pulsaudio [07:09] i still have some bad habits leftover from my m$ days [07:09] vu1kan: theres some 'reinstall' option to apt-get, but ive not used it in years. [07:10] vu1kan: yep. 'reinstalling somthing to fix' is windows training at its fineist. [07:10] pksadiq: mount mystuff.img /mnt/mymntpoint -o loop [07:10] !danger [07:10] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here.

[07:12] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531588/ [07:12] Jordan_U, what should i do? [07:12] vu1kan: or as a test. you could edit the grub menu lines at boot time. remove the quiet splash , options and see how it boots up. [07:12] furi: I'm not sure. [07:12] WilliamHerry: not working, asking for filesystem type [07:12] pksadiq: -t pickafilesystem [07:12] Yes hello [07:12] Renee here [07:12] Dr_Willis: hmm...i'll go poking with gedit(read-only at first), and see what i turn up [07:12] pksadiq: is the option for filesystem time. [07:12] Dr_Willis: Which> [07:12] ? [07:13] pksadiq: depends on the floppuy. You could have formated it in any of a dozen+ fx's [07:13] pksadiq: so whats supposed to be on it? [07:13] pksadiq: Ahh, there is no filesystem, at least not how you'd normally think of one. [07:13] pksadiq: dd if=xxx.img of=/dev/fd0 [07:14] i lost my sound volume widget at the top panel. how can i get it back? [07:14] Hmm. Most kernels dont fit on a floppy these days i thought. [07:14] Jordan_U: , Dr_Willis :, I just need to extract the file to my pendrive and make it bootable using syslinux, [07:14] dijonyummy: you tried to remove the mail icon dident you? [07:14] can someone help me fix my sound [07:14] pksadiq: file says its a kernel image.. you dont extract stuff from it at all. its like a huge 'binary' file. [07:14] WilliamHerry: but that erases my complete disk isn't it? [07:15] not sure, was awhile ago. maybe i did that [07:15] dijonyummy: easy way is to reset the panel back to defaults. [07:15] !resetpanel [07:15] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:15] pksadiq: It's just a kernel images, with an embedded initrd. [07:15] Dr_Willis:1.44MB=Huge? [07:15] !sound | dasgeisterbild [07:15] dasgeisterbild: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[07:15] pksadiq: Just load it as one. [07:15] dijonyummy: or right click, add to panel -> add an 'indicator applet' (i think) [07:15] that means i have to re-add my favorites to the panel? [07:15] is there yahoo widgets for ubuntu 10.10 [07:15] Jordan_U: k, let me try any other way to make it bootable, do you know about syslinux? [07:15] Dr_Willis: correct [07:16] great i'll try that now [07:16] pksadiq: Yes. [07:16] pksadiq: I prefer grub2 though. [07:16] pksadiq: dding a kernel to a floppy was common years and years ago. now with modules and initrd. I dont recall that being used in the last few years [07:16] Jordan_U: and so how can I configure syslinux to boot an img file? [07:16] dr_willis : could I double check with you When you partion the disk do you have to use to the PARTITION TABLE anywhere.... ( I already have windows installed on SDa1 and i have created partitions sd5 and sd6 to install linux and linux swap respectively. [07:17] pksadiq: You don't per-se. You configure it to load a linux kernel. [07:17] pksadiq: Rename "file.img" "vmlinuz" and use it as you would any kernel :) [07:17] lea123: a partition 'table' holds the information about the partition layout. If you are adding partitiosn. You allready have a partition table. [07:18] lea123: if you had a brand 'new' hard drive that has never been formated/partioned.. then first thing fdisk/gparted will do is ask you about what kind of partition 'table' to use. [07:18] hi [07:18] Jordan_U: I'm having a FAT32 Pendrive, so I can't install grub to it, and the contents of vmlinuz could be extracted in Archive manager, bot .img could not be [07:18] hey guys, why when I ssh to my ubuntu box in mac os x does it show me a colorized prompt but when i ssh in via putty it does not [07:18] lea123: theres 2 types of partition 'tables' normally used. I belive if fdisk/gparted ask you normally want to use the 'dos' style partition table. [07:18] but* [07:18] i am developing a easy xml driven multipurpose software panel [07:18] and [07:19] the first demo is for ubuntu [07:19] pksadiq: You can use grub2 with fat32, or pretty much any other filesystem, without any problem. [07:19] http://mulp.sourceforge.net [07:19] pksadiq: somthing is confuseing here.. vmlinuz is a kernel file also. not an archive. [07:19] pksadiq: You don't want to extract anything. [07:19] ls -lah /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic [07:19] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.2M 2010-10-16 20:37 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic [07:19] i l be glad if people join open source project [07:19] I tried installing viewnior but I don't know where to find it now [07:19] it is a control panel for ubuntu now [07:19] Cocksuckers [07:19] virtualint: This channel isn't for advertising, it's solely for Ubuntu support, you're looking for #ubuntu-offtopic [07:19] Fuck me in my ass [07:20] but it is easy to configure [07:20] dr_willis :I am using the ubuntu installer are you saying its better to go through the virtual installation of Ubuntu and install ubuntu from there ; from where i suppose GPART would be avalialbe [07:20] no advertising ? [07:20] i am just saying about an open source project [07:20] virtualint: Not here, no. #ubuntu-offtopic is the appropriate place. [07:20] is it advertising? [07:20] lea123: gparted can be used befor the installer. or you can use the installers partitioning tools to setup partions how you like. [07:20] anyone have any ideas? [07:20] lea123: OR if you have a part of the hard drive 'unallocated' and not in any partitions. the installer can automatically use that space. [07:20] Dr_Willis: sorry, it might be initrd [07:21] dr-willis : Yes I am using the second option as mentioned [07:21] pksadiq: you may want to start from the 'beginning' and tell us what you are trying to do. [07:21] Flannel: saying a related project is not against ubuntu and it is not advertising ok ;) [07:21] Dr_Willis: I got something clue, like -t ufd, let try , and 'll be back [07:21] lea123: if partionins are all confuseing to you. You may want to resize/free up space and have part of the drive 'unallocated' and let the installer handle the partioning. [07:21] anyway [07:21] my initrd image file is gzip compressed data [07:22] virtualint: an outside link to a personal project? what bearing does it have on support for ubuntu issues? #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for that, i think [07:22] virtualint: This channel isn't for developer discussion, it isn't for recruiting, it is solely for Ubuntu technical support. [07:22] Eeeeet [07:22] Myyyyy [07:22] Asss [07:22] Eat my ass [07:22] dongues: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:22] if i wanted to setup my own irc server *private use only* what would be a good start for this ? [07:22] Dr_Willis: this auto install on free space will only happen if i choose install side by side however i am using the manual installation where i specify the free drive , swap partition [07:22] correct me if i am wrong [07:23] lea123: so you need to make 2 partitiosn, mount one as /, the other set its filesystem type as swap. [07:23] lea123: so currently youy have part of the hard drive 'unallocated' ? or it all in one or more windows partitions? [07:23] I'm running Kramer with mysql 5.1 and I'm having this weird problem where the binary logfiles and the relay log files are both getting created with owner as 'root' instead of 'mysql' [07:24] I'm looking at /etc/logrotate.d/ but it has nothing to do with it.. looking through the mysql documentation.. nothing I can find [07:24] lea123: some fundamental info on disk partitions (to learn some of the terms) -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning [07:24] anyone know where I should be looking? [07:24] kuru is mysql running as root? [07:25] Hi. I'm trying to use hddtemp in conky but it requires sudo permissions to read hard drive temps and I cannot seem to give sudo access automatically during startup, is there another workaround for conky ? [07:25] derp_: you could set the 'suid' bit on hddtemp binary and then it will run as 'root' automcaially. but thats a bit of a security issue. [07:26] Has anyone tried installing OpenSuse 11.3 on top of Ubuntu 10.10 (Already tripple boot). Should I install opensuse's bootloader or leave it ? [07:26] tec kcl [07:26] I'm running everything off NTFS drives though, would that still work? [07:26] tecnico, it's running from /etc/init.d script like it always did.. in 5.0 and now 5.1 -- so the short answer is yes, but it has always run the same way before [07:27] tecnico, but in actuality, it looks like it's running as mysql and not root [07:27] kuru it needs to run with --user-mysql for that user to own the files [07:27] tecnico, that's how it's run [07:28] tecnico, /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --lo.... [07:28] derp_: you cant have your /home/ or other dirs on 'ntfs' and use the normal linux permissions/ownership. SO im not sure what you are doing with 'running eveyrthing off ntfs' [07:29] ah [07:29] kuru ... mm not sure then.. I don't have a mysql setup to test [07:29] right now [07:29] i am currently having boot problems, and have for nearly a week. the boot completely stops in its tracks. the suspects of this crime are: the update i did before i rebooted 6 days ago, and the console configuration file. can someone help me with this? [07:30] I know that bash.rc gets loaded when I start a bash shell, is there a script that gets run when a user logs in? [07:30] ahaney3: thers several such scripts [07:30] So is there a safer alternative instead of suid? I'm the only user so it shouldn't be too much of a problem right? [07:30] .bashrc .bash_profile .profile and others in the users home dir [07:30] a user configurable one, preferably that would live in the home directory [07:30] ahaney3: they allready exist. :) been used that way for years. [07:31] ahaney3: .bashrc .bash_profile .profile and others in the users home dir [07:31] right, but those are only executed when I start bash [07:31] I'd like one that is evaluated by logging in [07:31] is there some sort of user init file? [07:32] Shut up [07:32] Cocksucker [07:32] hi,, i 've just created a symbolic link to a directory in /var/www folder. but i can't access the directory as it deny my acces via localhost. I've changed the permission of original file to 777. Even then i can't access. [07:32] ahaney3: .bashrc gets run at login [07:32] ahaney3: YES.. bash has several such files.. [07:32] Funny issue... [07:32] ahaney3: look in the files. they sort of explain when/where they run. [07:32] ahaney3: what commands are you wanting to run exactly? [07:33] !autostart [07:33] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [07:33] hey guys, why when I ssh to my ubuntu box in mac os x does it show me a colorized prompt but when i ssh in via putty it does not [07:33] Dr_Willis: this is something that that i did - hence I got 4 partitions sd1 = 1.6GB where my recovery disk (vista), sd3 where windows is installed, sd5 where linux was installed , sd6 where linux swap file was installed. however VISTA still boots up when i power on and it doesn't give me the option of Ubuntu. when i see through disk manager my erstwhile D drive orignially meant for linux... [07:33] ...is not shown at all its just seems to have escape the reckoning. So nothing is shown as ext3 file system... [07:33] hello [07:33] I want to change the login screen. so I press ctrl+alt+F7, I type export DISPLAY=:0.0, sudo -u gdm gnome-control-panel but when i try to alt+F7 into the GUI, my PC hangs. [07:33] how can I clean .log files' [07:33] hello all [07:33] I'm wanting to run sshfs to mount a remote file system, but I don't want to put it in fstab because I'd like to be able to ping the server before I try to mount it to make sure I'm connected to the internet [07:33] ? [07:34] I am use to error messages. I think the error before hang was 2781. [07:34] lea123: sounds like GRUB disent install to 'sda' if you installed ubuntu and no grub menu shows up. you need to reinstall grub. You would NOT see the linux drives under windows.. windows has nothing that can read them so ignores them [07:34] share: do you mean you want to delete the old files and only keep the new ones? [07:34] ahaney3: look at autofs [07:34] rigved: delete all [07:34] ahaney3: why not use Places -> Connect to Server... ?? it supports ssh and doesn't do anything in fstab [07:34] Is ubuntu 10.10 worth installing over the last one? [07:34] no [07:34] is that a program or a config file? [07:35] lol [07:35] not really jaybird [07:35] ahaney3: http://www.tjansson.dk/?p=84 [07:35] !info autofs [07:35] autofs (source: autofs5): dummy transitional package from autofs to autofs5. In component main, is extra. Version 5.0.5-0ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 18 kB, installed size 48 kB [07:35] Dr_Willis: OK are you i needn't go the whole hog again and simply try to re-install grub ..

[07:35] ahaney3: autofs automounts devices when you try to acccess them and if they are available [07:35] share: and you want to do this frequently? [07:35] lea123: from what you have said. It sounds like grub failed to install. or it isntalled to the wrng palce. [07:35] But yeah, upgrade at your own risk, unless it's a long term stable. [07:35] hey ubuxubu !!! [07:35] i am currently having boot problems, and have for nearly a week. the boot completely stops in its tracks. the suspects of this crime are: the update i did before i rebooted 6 days ago, and the console configuration file. can someone help me with this? the last two lines given in the boot are: [07:35] * Setting console screen modes and fonts [07:35] rigved: nah just manually [07:35] ^[[12;2R [07:35] lea123 baby [07:35] furi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:36] share: then configure logrotate [07:36] lea123: grub would go on to /dev/sda normally NOT sda1 or sda5 [07:36] And that's a long way from now. So if you wanna dive in, do it. But if you hate the color orange you might reconsidr. [07:36] ahaney3: and you can use different filesystems networked and local [07:36] reconsider* [07:36] share: ok. then just delete them from the terminal using rm [07:36] Right i gave the option of sd5 for the bootloader to be installed on [07:36] rigved: will they be created again automatically? [07:36] lea123 did u gum up that dual install? [07:36] ubuXubu: NOPE :) [07:37] lea123 atta girl [07:37] share: yes [07:37] i knew u had it in you lea123 [07:37] i am currently having boot problems, and have for nearly a week. the boot completely stops in its tracks. the suspects of this crime are: the update i did before i rebooted 6 days ago, and the console configuration file. can someone help me with this? the last two lines given in the boot are: * Setting console screen modes and fonts | ^[[12;2R [07:37] ubuXubu: Maybe i don't [07:37] lea123 wanna do it all over again [07:37] Yeah i won't mind [07:37] rigved: what if i delete log folder? :p === an is now known as Guest44712 [07:38] lea123 i love doin it from scratch step by step [07:38] ahaney3: and as for your scripts question. Look at: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/DotFiles?highlight=%28bashrc%29 [07:38] furi: try adding "nomodeset" as kernel option in grub? [07:38] share: that i am not sure of because i have never done that :) [07:38] lea123 i am good at it that way [07:38] Okay, my wireless is still not working, but now my laptop isn't registering a WIRED connection either. >_< [07:38] lea123: it would be 'sda5' you keep forgetting the proper name. and you did NOT want it to go on sda5. but on /dev/sda (which is the MBR of the disk) not a partition. [07:38] SwedeMike, can you please give me the steps for that? i've been using ubuntu for 3 months tops and i'm kinda new [07:38] ahaney3: though that's not the best way of doing what you are trying to do. Autofs is the way [07:39] lea123 but if we do we should do it in private [07:39] where can i install the pulseaudio sound applet, i accidentally uninstalled with pulsaudio [07:39] share: that is not advisable [07:39] furi: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [07:39] furl, you're gonna be awhile buddy. Sit down, grab a big cup of coffee and enjoy the show. And oh, ask your question again every so often. [07:39] Oh, I was dead wrong there. [07:39] share: it also contains log files required by apt, i think [07:39] tiox, was that at me? [07:39] rigved: ok i removed the .log and log.old and now if i open log file viewer it says files dont exist. will they be created on restart or something? [07:39] tiox, if so, i've been drinking myself a lot of coffee and watching this show for nearly a week [07:40] I see chelz has left...anyone else here who knows how to deal with these networking problems? [07:40] Hi! My's laptop's wireless connection goes off sudddenly after some time, what could the problem be? [07:40] share: most likely yes [07:40] couldn't I also if [ ping server.com ] ; then ssfs user@server.com /mountpoint fi in local.rc [07:40] SwedeMike, that's for nvidia cards, so you may be mistaken [07:40] Dr_Willis: Well I worried to the pit of my tummy if the SDA which is designated as 250GB which I have assumed is referring to my whole HDD and i install linux would it have the slightest chance of overwriting my windows or the recovery HDD which is graphically listed right at the start of the 250 GB HDD. you see where I am coming from [07:40] furi: yes, that's very possible. [07:40] rigved: im trying on virtualmachne :P [07:40] SwedeMike, i mean, i'm using intel, i didn't say that, but just to let you know [07:41] ahaney3: you'll need to run that as the user who has the keys [07:41] is there yahoo widgets for ubuntu 10.10? [07:41] share: then give it a reboot and then check if the folders are re-created. they should ideally be re-created [07:41] ahaney3: and would need to run that after networking is enabled [07:41] lea123 the recovery partition is very tiny...which makes it easy to identify when ubuntu shows u the graphical scale of your hard drive. [07:41] when does networking get enabled? [07:41] lea123, usually, if the hard drive is in extremely poor condition already, you could hurt it, but if you format correctly and partition correctly, you will lose nothing [07:42] hey guys how can i submit software to the ubuntu software center? [07:42] rigved: 6 .log files are missing [07:42] ahaney3: and what if the connection goes down? I'm telling you that autofs is there for exactly what you are trying to do [07:42] i just made a pong game [07:42] lea123: grub goes to the MBR.. thats not in the partitions. [07:42] like, are there scripts that get executed at different times or would there be a good place to see what scripts are evaluated at login time? [07:42] share: and what about the .log folder [07:42] Never, I am restarting everytime the connection goes off. [07:42] Hi [07:42] ahaney3: I gave you a link already [07:42] ok, I'll look at autofs, I just go curious, I'll look at that link sorry [07:42] lea123: if you are that worried about data loss. you could get a 2nd hd.. or install ubuntu to a externals usb. or flasjh drive. for a external USB. you WOULD tell grub to install to /dev/sdX where X depends on the usb drive. [07:42] How can I get same update in lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/430620 [07:43] Is there some way to find out the problem? [07:43] rigved: .log folder? it's not hidden [07:43] lea123: if you jhad a flash drive - you can even just install grub to the flash drive. Plug in flash drive.. boot from it - get grub, boot to linux. remove flash drive.. it defaults back to the windows hd and goes to windows. :) [07:43] SwedeMike, do you have any idea on what may be causing the problem? [07:43] #crossover [07:43] Okay, wired connection started working again out of nowhere, but wireless is still fail. [07:44] share: so it's there under /var [07:44] shayguy, you might need ndiswrapper [07:44] furi: no, but setting nomodeset solved my problem before, so it's worth trying. I had some problems with graphics just before 10.10 was released. [07:44] csmith1994, you can create a ppa in launchpad for your program [07:44] Dr_Willis: That seems uber clever .. But my pendrive is 1 GB [07:45] lea123: for grub.. it could be just a few mb... [07:45] SwedeMike, oh, really? well, in that case, it's worth a try. [07:45] furi: and I do have intel. [07:45] share: so it should be fine. log files are required for error debugging, otherwise you should be fine [07:45] Dr_Willis: Any impact on the speed and performance .. [07:45] lea123: its just going on the MBR. you could even use a floppy disk i imagine. :) I set up a 'grub' rescue flash drive for my other pc. [07:45] lea123: its just used to boot.. after that.. it dosent matter. [07:45] jaceleon1129: My networking was working fine until Wednesday. And no, I didn't make any changes to the system then that would've caused this. [07:46] lea123: just a nifty trick from the old days I figured out how to do. :) [07:46] rigved: i deleted log folder then restarted and now there is no log folder [07:46] shayguy did you updated your installation? [07:46] shayguy, have you changed yourself from a user to root or administrator or anything in the user settings recently [07:46] SwedeMike, where should i put the "nomodeset"? [07:46] Hardware boots -> loads the MBR (which loads grub) -> then loads the rest of the OS. [07:46] rigved: *there is a log folder [07:47] jaceleon1129: No, I did not. Bawn: Don't think so, aside from various uses of sudo. [07:47] SwedeMike, i mean, which solution should i use on that? [07:47] furi: read the webpage I linked to, it has complete instructions. [07:47] lea123, that recovery partiton you so dearly love, is on those recovery disks you made. you can also make your computer manufacturer send you an additional set of recovery disks. I have back up for my back ups! [07:47] SwedeMike, there are 3 solutions, and one involves installing ubuntu [07:47] share: it will be re-created every time you restart [07:47] make sure u have the rights to the network, and check if you wiring is correct [07:47] 'make them send' for a low fee of proberly $20 [07:47] rigved: ye [07:47] Dr_Willis: how do i install the grub exclusively to the USB ? However the moot point is in order for the MBR to load GRUB do you think i need to fiddle with BCedit to get this organised .. [07:47] that's all imma say about that [07:48] yes its 18-20 Dr_Willis [07:48] shayguy, you might try restarting netmanager manually. [07:48] lea123: i would of just let grub install to sda and been done with it for starters. [07:48] lea123: you are making this entirely too hard. [07:48] furi: solution one, get into grub (either ESC or hold down shift), then follow the bullet points on how to remove quiet and splash and replace with nomodeset [07:48] share: do you want to stop the log folder from being created every time you restart [07:49] i can help people with JACK problems [07:49] SwedeMike, alright [07:49] Dr_Willis: OK but I will keep this clever one with me when I ready to run with Ubuntu.. [07:49] SwedeMike, is it alright if i use an xubuntu disc? [07:49] lea123: is this a desktop or laptop machine? [07:49] SwedeMike, i'm running that right now and that's how i'm on irc [07:49] dr [07:49] rigved: most of the log files are back.. but there is no alternatives.log dpjg fontfootconfig.log bootstrap.log jockey.log pycentral [07:49] jaceleon1129: How do I do that? [07:49] furi: you don't have to re-install, this is for booting your regular system. [07:49] Bawn: Most people with Jakc problems will probably be in #ubuntu-studio. [07:50] rigved: and btmp boot folders are gone [07:50] SwedeMike, is there a way to get into the one screen without a disc? [07:50] rigved: i dont want to disable logs (disabling logrotate?) i just want to clean them up [07:51] Dr_Willis: this is a laptop... and sadly the recovery disc creator application is misssing so I am entirely depending on the recovery partiton on HDD ,, Ubuxubu you understand my paranoia now .. Yeah i'm indeed walking the tight rope walk [07:51] SwedeMike, i mean, the screen where you change the boot settings on grub [07:51] furi: yes. grub is the boot loader, if you installed 9.10 or later you're using grub2 and you get into that by holding down the shift key during boot. [07:51] SwedeMike, alright, great, using 10.10 [07:51] lea123: the creatre app may just not have a menu item/icon or it may be hard to track down. [07:51] lea123, listen please, your computer manufacturer will mail them to u. [07:51] lea123: if its that critical . find a 2nd laptop hd to play with. [07:51] share: you mean like delte the current logs and start fresh? [07:52] rigved: ye [07:52] Dr_Willis: NOPE its not down to an icon missing. I think you are underestimating my IQ :) [07:52] lea123: there are tools out there that let you image the HD to optical disks that are not from the company. [07:52] rigved: but without restarting [07:53] even microsoft will send u a set for 18 and they send both the 32 and 64 bit automatically! lea123. [07:53] share: the best way to do that is to configure logrotate to delete the current logs and start fresh [07:53] I always spend the extra $20 on a new pc to get the HP or whatver company recovery disks anyway. Just for when i ever replace the laptop and get a new one. I can give/sell tjhe old one with a clean disk set. [07:54] of course my New laptop - has spaces for 2 hard drives. :) one for windows and other for linux. [07:54] I have ubuntu on "a" drive w7 on "b" drive...I dont have grub installed...well i dont see it when my sys boots up....I have to hit f11 and choose which drive I want..So I can go to ubuntu or windows...My question is can i install grub from ubuntu [07:54] share: do you know how to configure logrotate? [07:55] Dr_Willis: Credit crunch situations calls for desparate measures -- indeed the anti-inflationary measure of going open source was born as a neccessity rather than be trying to geek it out... [07:55] rigved: no [07:56] lea123, the other day u told me u made your recovery disks? if u did, that includes everything and will restore vista completely back to its original state. [07:56] share: one moment. i'll give you a basic command list and some examples [07:56] rigved: i can use man logrotate :P [07:56] ubuXubu: I meant data backups [07:57] ahhh [07:57] yikes [07:57] share: yes [07:58] But the fact remains there aren't any webpages dedicated to the installation of 10.10 with all the permutation and combination of installing ubuntu over Vista.. I don't think its scandalous to say that, [07:58] I meant with screen shots [07:58] share: wtmp and btmp also need to be re-created evrytime you use logrotate. it's there in /etc/logrotate.conf [07:59] SwedeMike, i'm back... on the xubuntu disc... again... [07:59] SwedeMike, same issues, only the screen was in a much smaller resolution... [07:59] lea123, honestly...if u have no vista recovery disks and u can't buy them, you should not try a dual booter and should reinstall wubi [08:00] ubuXubu: I tried it and I hadn't had any joy.. [08:00] i dont know what happened the 1st time but i have wubi on one laptop and its just as good as my dual booter lea123 [08:00] furi: oki, sorry, then I have no more ideas. [08:00] SwedeMike, yeah, i know [08:00] guest additions for virtualbox in maverick are already available? [08:00] ubuXubu: it refused to boot one fine day without prior notice :) [08:01] lea124 try again but use 10.04 not 10.10 [08:01] but its safe! [08:01] u need safe! [08:01] SwedeMike, just a few more people and it'll be ten people that failed to help me with this [08:01] lea123: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrWqKbqDQpU (I have not checked the accuracy of the instructions in this video, but I assume they're good). [08:01] i would reccomend using virtualbox over wubi. :) === Doyle_ is now known as Doyle [08:01] rigved: i tried sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf [08:02] Dr_Willis, i hear ppl say that, and i cant comment cos i havent tried it, but hats off to the wubi folks...no BS mine runs great. [08:02] Jordan_U: Thanks I clicked on it... [08:02] ubuXubu: you are one of the few/lucky then. :) seems i see 3+ people a day in here that have had wubi explodanate on them. [08:02] Dr_Willis, oh no! [08:02] lea123: You're welcome. === laurence is now known as Guest32098 [08:03] ubuXubu: i also saw a ubuntu variant (anlinux)(i think) tht ran ubuntu in windows via a virtual machine setup. so you ran your linux apps alongside your windows apps. [08:03] Has it been long enough for me to ask again for help? [08:03] ubuXubu: which was a nifty trick also. you could have terminals alongside your games :) [08:03] share: that should have cleaned your log files and put fresh ones in place of the old ones. now just delete the .gz files of the rotated logs and you will have only fresh ones! [08:04] Dr_Willis, hah i am 49! i dont play any games hehe. [08:04] rigved: it gave a cups error [08:04] Dr_Willis, i just work all day and fix ppl's computers at night [08:04] hello. i have an asus eee-pc running ubuntu. after upgrade from 9.0* to 10.04.1 LTS (kernel 2.6.28-12-netbook-eeepc), the keyboard and mouse don't work at all while in graphical environment, but if I boot just straight to command prompt the keyboard works fine. if in graphical, i can't even do alt-ctrl-1 to get to a text terminal. what could the culprit be? [08:04] wait let me install guest additions so i copy stuff [08:04] in my basement lab! [08:05] share: can you post it here or to pastebin [08:05] share: ok [08:05] ubuXubu: when Wubi failed on me I asked several people and all went cursing wubi asking me to get rid of it ASAP and do a live install... hence this path [08:06] ubuXubu: yea. 'andlinux' is a neat tool. I find linux to handy to not have in one form or antoher on every pc i have. [08:06] rigved: guest additions are not working in maverick [08:07] Dr_Willis, i got 18 dual booters [08:07] if u count the one wubi [08:07] hehe [08:07] ubuXubu: http://www.andlinux.org/ but its for 32bit windows only still. :( so ive not used it much recently. [08:07] share: can you type out the error here? [08:07] Dr_Willis, that why i was trying to help lea123, i actually installed 18 dual booters right here [08:07] and they are perfect [08:08] share: or upload a screenshot to imageshack [08:09] lea123: Just finished the video and I can confirm that the instructions are all correct (and though the video shows dual booting with XP, it's exactly the same with Vista). [08:10] Dr_Willis, i enjoy rescuing data from infected windows machines using ubuntu [08:10] ubuXubu: made a few $ in the past doing that myself. :) [08:10] gives me me too... [08:10] ubuntitude, ewwww wubi ;) [08:11] ubuXubu, I ment ewwww wubi to you;) [08:11] Dr_Willis, i can pull their HD right outta there machine, put it in one of my big towers, and pull there files right outta windows and into my buntu desktop! [08:12] nit-wit i like a lil wubi [08:12] Jordan_U: See it uses the first option - install side by side - I am using the 3rd option manual partitioning just to make sure my recovery partition of HDD doesn't get overwritten [08:12] lea123: It won't get overwritten. [08:13] lea123: Go with the install side by by side option, it leaves no room for human error :) [08:13] true Jordan_U !!! [08:14] but she it will split up her Hd for her instead of her choosing the size [08:14] opps type, side by side will size it for u lea123 which may be cool with you anyway [08:15] If the first partition was only 1.6gb (if i recall) you could dd it to a file, and burn that to a dvd from a live system. :) or even upload it to your ubuntuone account. [08:15] Jordan_U: Last time somebody told me ubuntu "forgot" to install my GRUB and it happens once in a while... This was when after my installation it would boot straight into VISTA without even showing the ubuntu option .. it almost shattered my notion of using a computer :) [08:17] ubuXubu: Jordan_U : however the side by side option doesn't give the choice of having a linux swap partition drive. Does it do this automatically ?? [08:17] lea123: Yes. [08:17] lea123: it makes a swap partition.. yes... [08:17] <[deXter]> Hi all, does anyone else get the message "The servers security certificate is revoked" when visiting the site https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ [08:17] someone please help me with the above, i'm very desperate, no keyboard or mouse is horrifying, i can't do any work [08:17] lea123 as i told u before i once forgot all about swap and buntu put a nice lil one in there for me...about 653mb [08:18] lea123: if you want to play witht he different install methods and what they do. You can do this in virtualbox and not risk damageing anytying. :) [08:18] or u coupld make a swap out of an 8 dollar flash drive [08:18] or just make a file after the fact to use as swap [08:18] ok so im back with sound problems again [08:19] u have 2gb or ram lea123 swap is no dealbreaker [08:19] unless u do someting BIG [08:19] Well, my laptop just flat-out died, so it looks like fixing this is going to have to wait yet another day. -_- [08:20] <[deXter]> ShayGuy, Funny, my laptop just died today as well.. (well, HDD to be exact) [08:20] ubuXubu: The math for getting the swapfile per the wiki is to use as much as your available RAM Right ?? though in some other post people have advocated for 2 times the RAM. Yeah mine is indeed 2 GB [08:20] And I'm no closer to solving it than I was when I woke up today. [08:20] Im currently in terminal running python, how do I stop it and go back to usual terminal without closing the terminal and having to open it again ? === nick_ is now known as Guest21154 [08:20] ubuXubu: No i am doing everying small :) [08:20] [deXter]: Well, the battery died. No almost-dead warning, just went out. [08:21] marel: you mean stop the python script? try ctrl-c ? [08:21] morning [08:21] ei [08:21] hi. where can i find out what is contained in base system that the minimal CD installs? [08:21] my pc isnt hibernating, any suggestions? [08:21] <[deXter]> Hey Dr_Willis , how're you? Long time no see! [08:21] Dr_Willis, It doesn't work, it only gives me KeyboardInterrupt and python interactive shell keeps running. [08:22] lea123 so try side by side [08:22] Jordan_U: The video makes it look as its open and shut thing.. :) Dunno how good the experience would be after a few months as WUBI just stopped working one fine day .... Thats the mystery that I just can't seem to solve [08:22] ubuXubu: Ironically you are the biggest votary of WUBI :) [08:23] well i use it everyday....but i got 17 true dual booters lea123 [08:23] marel: hit it fast a few times I guess.. or use ctrl-z, then kill the pid of the python script. [08:23] lea123 i say wubi cos u have no recovery as u stated [08:23] Dr_Willis, ctrl+z did the trick. thanks. [08:23] wubi is like lubi...nice and smoooth [08:24] what could cause hibernating not to work? using ecryptfs (not for swap), i have enough swap (4gb ram, 12gb swap) [08:24] swap is enabled when i do swapon -s [08:24] anything else i've missed? [08:25] when i hibernate, X shuts down, i get a blinking cursor and pc turns of, when i turn it on again and login i get a fresh X session [08:25] marel: that just put the script to the background.. it dident kill it. [08:27] So I have sound but the sound applet is a speaker with three dashes and I cannot control the audio slider known problem? [08:27] Iszak: it may set to controll the 'pcm' channel, or some other channel. instead of the proper master channel. [08:27] Help anyone. Desktop effects cannot be enabled on my Ubuntu anymore. I use the nvidia proprietary driver for my 9500GT card. Suddenly when I try to swich on destop effects, it tells me "cannot be enabled". Help. [08:28] mingo_: try to deactivate restart activate [08:28] tried nothing happended. [08:28] Dr_Willis, any fix? [08:29] Iszak: no idea. ive had a few pc's that ive had to tweak to use PCM instead of 'master' (or visa versa) but not had to do that in ages. [08:29] bleh. [08:29] Does anynoe know what might help? [08:30] * Gnea does not know what would help [08:32] got guest additions to work on maverick [08:32] I installed compiz experimental plugins before. [08:36] Hmm, still the same problem. [08:36] Hi. Is it possible to tune out nvidia card with udev correctly? [08:36] Besogon: clarify what you mean. [08:39] Dr_Willis: Imagine that I have 2 monitors. And if I swiched on additional monitor I would expect to have it work correctly. [08:39] Sorry If I said something wrong :) [08:39] <[deXter]> Hi all, I'm trying to create a persistent live USB. I already created a casper-rw file, but I'm looking for the right kernel parameters to put in syslinux.cfg. Can someone help pleae? thanks! [08:40] Dr_Willis: As I know xrandr don't work properly with nvidia driver.. [08:40] can someone please help me with a boot problem... will give details via pm... [08:40] Besogon: you enable twinview in the nvidia settings tool - that lets you controll the 2nd monitor. [08:41] furi: asking for help in PM - normally gets you no help. state teh issue to the channel and see who can help. [08:42] Dr_Willis, well, i get no help anyways. it HAS been nearly a week and i believe even you tried and failed to help. [08:42] Dr_Willis, so it pretty much makes a sliver if not no difference [08:42] sliver of* [08:43] Dr_Willis: yes I do. But I've found it is not convenient way as I have to always start "nvidia setting" and work with it in additional "nvidia setting" hasn't profiles. And this is main problem. [08:43] furi: with pm? why not here? [08:43] goot nights everyone [08:44] verry goot [08:44] Besogon: i rarely ever change the things. so im not sure what profiles you would be setting. [08:45] alkisg, i'm just saying i'll have no success either way [08:45] How to resize an image..? [08:45] karthick87: what kind of image? [08:45] furi: well if you don't ask you won't find out :) There are 1400 persons here, and probably many of them weren't here when you last tried. [08:45] Dr_Willis: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation I think I might have misinterpreted it why does it say its best not to overwrite on MBR but again goes on to say to use the SDA option to update the MBR [08:45] Dr_Willis: PNG [08:46] convert -resize ##% in.png out.png [08:46] lea123: i always use the MBR on sda. i would say that MOST people do the MBR on sda [08:46] People install pisaca from google!!!! [08:46] Hi dear every body [08:47] lea123: only time i would not use the MBR on sda. is if i installed linux totally onto sdb. then i sould but the GRUB on the mbr of sdb. and set the bios to boot sdb [08:47] hello [08:47] It allow you do the same as ACDSee [08:47] allows* [08:47] How can i download an online streaming video on the web pages [08:47] Dr_Willis: ok [08:47] Theres dozens of ways to resize a png file. [08:47] hasibullah: tht would depend on the stream/site [08:48] hasibullah: theres several firefox extenions that help with a lot of sites. [08:49] hello [08:49] hi.. i'm looking for working intrepid repositories... [08:49] In windows i have IDM and IDM automaticaly can detect videos from the web pages and gives an option to download that video with out watching it online [08:49] so is there away just like that [08:49] where can i find them? [08:50] hasibullah: i use jdownloader for that [08:50] Hi Peeps. Is there a way to turn of a graphics card in a laptop with dual graphics card? Like the Alienware m11x or Asus UL35JC ? [08:51] hasibullah: ive no idea what 'IDM' is... [08:51] hasibullah: if its a firefox extension. it proberly works in linuix. [08:51] anubis_: i think you'll find that most are gone [08:51] ptantiku: so can it detect videos [08:51] !intrepid [08:51] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [08:51] anubis_: check the !eol factoid info, [08:51] !eol > anubis_ [08:51] anubis_, please see my private message [08:51] sagaci, doesn't "canonical" keep a copy at least of official ones ? [08:52] anubis_: they are moved to some archival server. [08:52] !hardy [08:52] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [08:52] tecnico: what is ##% [08:53] percent that you want to resize? [08:53] like 50% [08:53] ptantiku: Does it have software for ubunut 9.10 [08:53] Dr_Willis, please don't consider me as noob.. i know what eol is... i'm just working on a server that sadly is running ubuntu (iuntrepid) all repos are 404.. so i was wondering if there was a way to use at least official ones from some "storage" place... [08:53] hasibullah: it detects youtube [08:53] alkisg, it's been a week. [08:53] karthick87: you can also put absolute values like 10x40 [08:53] alkisg, every day, every night, i'm on here asking for help. [08:53] oke thankyou [08:54] furi: well if you want to tell your problem, go on, we're listening. I haven't heard your problem before. I don't know if anyone here will be willing to accept PM for that. [08:54] alkisg, i rarely even get 6 hours of sleep because i'm busy asking for help. [08:54] hasibullah: i hav been using it since i was using window [08:54] alkisg, but since you haven't heard it yet, i might as well repeat [08:55] hasibullah: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-jdownloader-in-ubuntu-10-1010-049-10-using-ubuntu-ppa.html [08:55] found.. it's here [08:55] http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [08:56] alkisg, been having startup issues, apparently it's right when the tty's open because i can switch off and press a key then they start up. anyways, i made an update, installed devilspie to get a desktop console, and changed some console prefs i believe before i rebooted. when i rebooted, i was in the midst of the screen trying to open the console screen modes and fonts. mind you, i tried nomodeset already. then there's another line after that [08:56] . it's either ^[[12;2R or ^[[13;2R. it randomly varies every time. that's pretty much everything i can tell you. [08:57] ok, so i created an image of my ubuntu system before i reformatted and I am trying to to figure out how to restore my keyring from the old image, but i really have no idea what the file name is or path of the keyring. Any ideas? [08:58] furi: "startup issues" you mean X problems? E.g. does it boot to the recovery console if you select it from grub? [08:59] alkisg, it only boots to the recovery console the second time i attempt a boot, because i do a hard shutdown [08:59] alkisg, i don't believe it has to do with X [09:00] <[deXter]> Hi all, I'm trying to create a persistent live USB. I already created a casper-rw file, but I'm looking for the right kernel parameters to put in syslinux.cfg. Can someone help pleae? thanks! [09:00] furi: I don't get it. The first time you select "recovery console" it doesn't boot, and the second time it does boot? [09:00] oh good, looks like people are allowed to ask questions here [09:00] nvm, i figured out the keyring path [09:01] alkisg, sorry, i didn't understand. now that you've clarified, i can always select recovery console. it automatically does it the second time through, i meant. [09:01] MACscr: its in the users home dir. I forget where exactly. [09:01] furi: then it does sound like something X or plymouth or KMS or anyway graphics related. What graphics card do you have? [09:01] i just got ubuntu, have not used linux in years. i just found out there is this apt-get feature so you no longer have to compile things... but i cannot install a c compiler for some reason. apt-get doesnt work. gcc-4.2: Depends: binutils (>= 2.17cvs20070426) but it is not installable [09:02] Dr_Willis: like i said, i figured it out. Thanks though [09:02] its in .gnome2 [09:02] alkisg, intel 4 series chipset family... something like that [09:02] alkisg, sorry for the confusion if i was wrong, i'm pretty unfamiliar [09:02] JLM`: your apt-get is broken in general? [09:02] furi: boot in the recovery console and run: lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA [09:03] MACscr no, it installed wget, thats all [09:03] can't i use a chrooted console? [09:03] alkisg [09:03] so apt-get is fine. you just cant install a compiler? [09:03] i believe so [09:03] furi: sure, are you on a live cd or something? [09:03] because apt get cant find all the dependencies [09:03] alkisg, an xubuntu one [09:03] for what? [09:03] furi: ok, enter the above command in a simple terminal [09:03] alkisg, does it require a chroot? it doesn't seem like it [09:03] JLM`: apt-get install gcc [09:03] gcc [09:03] furi: no [09:04] alright, got it [09:04] want me to pastebin it, or just get the card name? [09:04] pastebin [09:04] JLM`: gcc 4.4.5 is the one installed from the current repos. [09:04] alkisg, okay [09:04] alkisg, http://pastebin.com/FaHWNe7K [09:05] http://pastebin.ca/1990954 [09:05] thats what i get when i try to apt get gcc [09:05] maybe apt-get is broke [09:05] furi: and what do you have in your hard disk? Lucid with gnome? [09:05] alkisg, maverick [09:05] alkisg, gnome is xubuntu/ubuntu, right? if so, yes, using ubuntu [09:05] JLM`: try a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' recently? [09:06] are there problems with installing 10.10? [09:06] JLM`: you may need to update your repos I guess [09:06] if i do an update, it freezes on this step: 72% [Connecting to gb.archive.ubuntu.com (2a01:450:10:1::10)] [09:06] furi: ubuntu=gnome, xubuntu=xfce. Can you mount your hard disk and pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from that disk? [09:06] I've downloaded two ISOs and burnt two disks, and the installer hangs [09:06] <_raven_> UNISON gives me this error: http://imagebin.org/123175 any solution? [09:06] alkisg, okay [09:07] JLM`: sudo apt-get install build-essential [09:07] i am upgrading now... i think it will be working a while [09:07] Arleas: whats your video chipset? you could also try making a bootable flash drive. You did check the md5sums of the disks/iso files? [09:07] i had ubuntu 8 something, efnet said it was 2 versions too old and banned me so im here, thanks very much for the help [09:07] i am upgrading then ill try that MACscr thanks [09:07] JLM`: if you dont update/upgrade regularry - some package versions can get a little out of sync and cause issues i find. [09:07] ah ok thanks [09:08] JLM`: this is the official ubuntu support location. :) better then efnet. [09:08] JLM`: It's not broke, you probably don't have an IPv6 address. [09:08] oh yes yall are much nicer already [09:08] jpds possibly.. i just got this VPS [09:08] alkisg, it's kinda an empty file... [09:08] i only have an ipv4 address that i know of [09:09] Dr_Willis: It's an ATI card from an older Dell Dimension (P4, 3.0ghz). I ran the disk check utility from the boot screen and it checked out OK. [09:09] JLM`: Hmm, gb.archive should be speedy from there. [09:09] yeah, you want to run 'apt-get update' often before doing an install. Well not more than once a day, but you get the idea [09:09] alkisg, never mind, never mind, caps sensitive... had it as xorg instead of Xorg [09:09] Arleas: its possible you might need the altenrative installer cd to install properly. I dont use ATI any more. [09:10] Dr_Willis: By 'alternative', do you mean one somebody else has compiled? [09:10] hello.. howto replace x with wayland? [09:10] Arleas: no.. its an official cd that uses a text based installer from Ubuntu sites. [09:10] meegomi: im not sure thats a viable thing to do at this time. [09:10] meegomi: wayland is very muich a work in progress [09:10] !wayland [09:11] Dr_Willis: Ok, thanks a lot. I'll have a look into it. [09:11] Arleas: for my Nvidia cards i need to do a 'nomodeset' option fo the installer/desktop cd to work properly. That May or may not be your issue. [09:11] alkisg, taking quite a while for it to submit... [09:12] Dr_Willis: Can I leave the partition that already exists (XP) on the hard disk using a text based installer? I guess I'm worried about accidentally deleting it. [09:12] Dr_Willis: Ok, thanks a lot. [09:13] hello all. What could be the reason that my ext4 partition with ubuntu suddenly changed from bootable to non-bootble? Also I can no longer mount that partition from the live cd. I have a packard bell easynote lm laptop, dual booting windows and ubuntu (windows also doesn't start normally now, it shows a repair modus dialog. Ubuntu live cd - fdisk -l shows only a bootable flag on the windows partition. GParted errors that the partition might be in [09:13] furi: until it gets uploaded, can you describe the history of the problem? Did it work right after the installation? What was broken? What did you do while trying to fix it? [09:13] Arleas: the installer can resize it. Or you could resize it befor jhand with a gparted live cd. or some other tools in windows [09:13] hi 2 all [09:13] Dr_Willis: Thanks for the help === root is now known as Guest60061 [09:14] UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) English text, what's BOM mean [09:14] alkisg, i needed to reboot to get the stuff working, apparently. anyways, i purged devilspie in hopes of that fixing it, but to no avail. all this time i've been sitting on irc hoping for some help on this. [09:15] Hey guys, ive got a problem with VLC media player, and pulseaudio [09:15] this pastebin entry sums it up for me: http://pastebin.com/jRidDLrC [09:15] <_raven_> UNISON gives me this error: http://imagebin.org/123175 any solution? [09:15] furi: again, did it work on the initial installation? [09:15] yeah [09:15] i cant sudo apt-get install build-essential [09:15] Arleas: if in doubt, always back up your data first. You can leave the partition alone and use other unpartitioned space.. but it's better to have a backup if you have any doubt of what you are doing [09:15] and cant update... can i update from ipv4 [09:16] alkisg, oh, sorry. no, i couldn't get to test it because i needed to reboot, said the steps for it... and when i rebooted, yeah, you know [09:17] how do i view what modules are loaded on my computer? [09:17] hi, I changed my / disk in my fileserver and copied most config files from the old one to the new one, this works quite well, but when I try to log in via samba, I get an error message, that my password is incorrect, I copied smb.conf passdb.tdb shadow passwd group what am I missing? [09:17] dave3333: lsmod [09:17] _raven_: looks like the error is descriptive enough in my opinion. Mismatching versions of unison on server and client [09:17] tecnico: The Windows partition isn't running very well at all... but I don't want to lose the data. I might wait until I can just use a normal Live CD. Not sure why it won't install... === hy is now known as h- [09:18] furi: so, you booted with the maverick ubuntu (not xubuntu) live CD, and installed the system. When you rebooted, you saw what? A blank screen? And then you rebooted to a recovery console and installed devilspie? Be more specific please. [09:18] SwedeMike: thanks [09:19] <_raven_> tecnico, how to solve [09:19] alkisg, oh oh oh, i'm SO sorry. i've had ubuntu for a long time, this has nothing to do with installing actual ubuntu. [09:19] is there any way to see what daemons are runnung on 10.10? [09:19] furi: ok, it'll help a lot if I know at what point the system broke [09:20] dave3333: via the 'service' command [09:20] alkisg, after rebooting after installing devilspie and changing some prefs. also, pastebin isn't working [09:20] anyone know where evolution stores its "account settings"? doesnt seem to be within the .evolution folder [09:21] _raven_: update unison on both sides (like apt-get upgrade unison) . If that still doesn't do it. Then it might be that your shell on the client is outputing text on a non-interactive shell (which it shouldn't do) [09:21] furi: do you remember which prefs you changed? You can try a different pastebin, http://paste.ubuntu.com/, http://pastebin.com etc [09:21] Dr_Willis: thanks [09:21] is a daemon also a program?? [09:21] dave3333: a daemon is a program that basically runs in the background. [09:22] <_raven_> tecnico, on the one machine is 10.10, on the other one 10.04 - no chance to update unison [09:22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computer_software%29 [09:22] Dr_Willis: ok. [09:22] _raven_: then you may need to start looking for an alternative to unison [09:23] how can i kill pulseaudio daemon/program and stop it from re-starting? [09:23] hi everyone [09:23] _raven_: or who knows, has unison been updated recently that it would be different in 10.10 than 10.04 ? === Termana_ is now known as Termana [09:23] ei rigved [09:23] how do i connect to web server using ssh? [09:24] alkisg, http://paste.ubuntu.com/531633/ [09:24] dave3333: i think that can be done with teh 'service' command [09:24] blackshell: ssh ip.of.machine:port# (i think) [09:24] can anyone tell me the difference between the default search tool in ubuntu and the tracker search tool (installed from Software Center). i have ubuntu 10.04 [09:24] share: did it work? [09:25] blackshell > ssh -p ### ip.of.machine:/home/username/ [09:25] Dr_Willis:can you please look into this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10113873#post10113873 ? [09:25] tindust:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10113873#post10113873 [09:26] blackshell: summarize it a bit perhaps for the channel? others in here may know more. [09:26] ? [09:26] rigved: it doesnt clean everything [09:26] cao [09:27] quit [09:27] blackshell > freetzi might need another portnumber than 22 [09:27] share: you can set which logs will be rotated in /etc/logrotate.d/ [09:27] blackshell > use ssh -p portnumber username@freetzi.com [09:27] Why did my ext4 partition with ubuntu suddenly change from bootable to non-bootble? I can not boot it, nor mount it from the live cd. [09:27] (11:21:15 AM) alkisg: furi: do you remember which prefs you changed? [09:27] rigved: im sleepy ill try later [09:28] share: ok [09:28] alkisg, oh, sorry, didn't get that one [09:28] tindust: if you cant even Mount it.. either you need to mount it by hand and look for error messages. and perhaps fsck the filesystem.. or you have had a hard drive failure. [09:28] alkisg, anyways, no, i don't [09:28] rigved: btw i could make guest additions to work [09:28] alkisg, on top of that, i don't think i even did [09:28] Dr_Willis: "service pulseaudio stop" returns ""pulseAudio configured for per-user session" [09:28] morning all, just a quickie, I get 'Error mounting: mount: /dev/mmcblk0p1: can't read superblock' error when trying to mount an SD card [09:29] share: that's good :) [09:29] tindust:I used port number 21 in filezilla and it worked [09:29] alkisg, i'm terrible with memory, and all i can tell you i really do remember is making a gnome-terminal profile called DesktopTerminal [09:29] !pulse [09:29] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [09:29] furi: so to sum up, your system was working, you installed devilspie and maybe changed some settings and it stopped working at the next reboot. Since then you tried removing devilspie. Is that all? [09:29] ubotto: wow, thanks [09:29] Hello, I have an mdadm raid5 array and I unpluggged some disk to figure out which disk is what /dev/sdx. Now it says: Error assembling array: mdadm exited with exit code 1: mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sde1: Device or resource busy. mdadm: /dev/sde1 has no superblock - assembly aborted [09:29] cya [09:29] blackshell: port 21 is FTP [09:29] dave3333: ubottu is a info-bot. :) [09:30] Dr_Willis > fsck gives the error "maybe another application is using the partition or maybe the partition is already mounted". force mounting also doesn't work [09:30] technico:so which should i use? [09:30] ill try ESD, and hopefully i wont need pulseaudop [09:30] share: bye [09:30] Dr_Willis: lol, thanks [09:30] tindust: you dont fsck mounted partitions.. if its mounted.. then try the mount command to see where its mounted to. [09:30] blackshell: well you need to install and start openssh if you want to ssh into the machine. [09:30] tindust: you are trying to access it from a live cd correct? [09:30] any idea ? [09:30] can anyone tell me the difference between the default search tool in ubuntu and the tracker search tool (installed from Software Center). i have ubuntu 10.04 [09:30] Dr_Willis > yes. It's not mounted [09:30] Hi all How can I get the update of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/430620 in Lucid. Because I'm facing this issue in lucid [09:31] tindust: i would reboot the live cd. and befor you do anything else via the gui. use the terminal to try to fsck the filesystem. [09:31] alkisg, yes [09:31] tindust: it could be somthign is trying to mount the hd and failing. [09:31] blackshell: actually it is openssh-server [09:32] what does it mean by "Pulseaudio is a drop-in replacement for EsounD"? [09:32] dave3333: its replacing the older sound 'server' esound [09:32] furi: ok. I see that it takes a lot of time (50 minutes so far) to gather the neccessary info. I have some minutes left till I leave, would you like to try screen sharing (remote support) with x11vnc? [09:33] tecnico:i instaled it [09:33] furi: never mind, I have to leave sooner than I expected. I'll be back in 5-6 hours, if you want we can continue that then. [09:33] blackshell: now make sure it's up. sudo service ssh start [09:33] alkisg, okay [09:33] and now you can ssh to it on port 22 by default. [09:34] alkisg, that'd be about 10 am my time, but idk if i'd even be awake then [09:34] Dr_Willis: from some of the errors im getting in /var/log/messages, and from trying to change an option for pulseaudio to stop it using a pid file, i think there may be a permissions problem somewhere [09:34] furi: ok, try pinging me on freenode when you wake up [09:34] How to fix incomplete logout process? It always gets stuck at ttyl after certain processes after which it halts that only shutdown remains the option [09:34] how can i check the permissions that pulseaudio has? [09:35] dave3333: ive rarely had to mess with pulseaudio. could be you have some stale lock files laying about tha need to be removed. ive never had to do that. [09:35] Dr_Willis: nevermind [09:37] thunder cunts [09:38] Dr_Willis: heres what im working with: http://pastebin.com/sjG97Mtf [09:38] Dr_Willis: ive only just installed ubuntu a couple of days ago [09:39] anyone know how to get the calendar in evolution to show in its sidebar so i can see tasks/upcoming events from the main mail window? [09:39] where are all the dev files kept? i am talking about the dev version of packages downloaded from Software Center? [09:39] dave3333: i doubt if the pid file is the issue - sounds more like some video driver/bug crashing vlc. [09:39] and taking down the X drivers/ [09:39] dave3333: try mplayer yet? it may have better luck. [09:39] good morning [09:40] dave3333: thers also differnt 'video out' options for vlc that can let it use different video outputs for the video. [09:40] Dr_Willis: is that the ones that comes with ubuntu 10.10? [09:40] dave3333: totem is the default. people normally use gmplayer, or vlc. [09:41] Dr_Willis: my /var/log/messages only come up with pulseaudio as a problem [09:41] dave3333: theres other video players out there as well. but mplayer and vlc are the top ones. [09:41] dave3333: i doubt if its a pulse audio issue. [09:41] thunder cun [09:41] t [09:41] where are all the dev files kept? i am talking about the dev version of packages downloaded from Software Center? [09:42] dave3333: you can set vlc to use alsa instead of pulse audio also. [09:42] Dr_Willis: How to fix incomplete logout process? [09:42] sresu: no idea really. [09:42] Dr_Willis: so totem is the 'movie player' in my programs list? also, i can get rythmbox to work [09:42] rigved: packages get installed all over the place , whever they need to go. the .deb files are cached in /var/ somewhere [09:42] dave3333: yes. if you look at the 'about' menu item. it will say its totem. [09:42] Dr_Willis: i only chose VLC because i found that had little problems when using it in windows [09:42] Totem with all the extra plugins works decently well also. [09:43] running Ubuntu 10.10 i have a usb soundcard that works fine with fldigi(hamradio prog), but it seems all other audio is routed to the USB soundcard when i plug it in, How can i set the internal card to "master" and not have ubuntu automaticaly choose the usb card as the main one? [09:43] Dr_Willis: awesome, ill try that [09:43] dave3333: i perfer 'smplayer' in many ways these days [09:43] Dr_Willis: how so?

[09:59] where do i find xlogs?

[10:01] dave33333: or run it from a terminal and see if any error messages show up when you run 'vlc whatever.avi' [10:02] Dr_Willis: thats why i wanted to disable it [10:02] dave33333: or try 'vlc --no-audio whatever.avi' [10:02] if vlc is crashing befor a video is even playing.. then i dont see how it can be a audio issue. [10:04] or mplayer -ao null foo.avi [10:04] Is there a tortoise alternative to ubuntu? I have used the otherone at XP [10:05] Dr_Willis: vlc from terminal logs me out too. it starts to play something, and i can hear audio, but the same error in /var/log/messages [10:05] frold: tortoiseSVN? [10:05] rigved: yep [10:05] dave3333: try with the No audio option? [10:06] how can i try without pulse audio? or was that your 'mplayer -ao null clip.avi [10:06] is there a solution for checkpoint VPN client for Ubuntu 10.10 already ? [10:06] dave3333: i gave 2 examples.. one for vlc. oen for mplayer [10:06] i think i tried it normally and logged out before i read that message [10:06] dave33333: or try 'vlc --no-audio whatever.avi' [10:06] or mplayer -ao null foo.avi [10:06] ok [10:06] It would be a VERY weird pulse audio bug that would crash X.

Im seeing a lot of differnt bug reporrts about stuff crashing with Multi Monitor setups [11:05] I have a problem with restoring files from Deja Dup... I click on the "Restore" button, then I choose the location (a hard drive), then I go forward to select a date. But when I try to restore files to the original location, it fails. [11:05] Dr_Willis: why twinview? [11:05] dave3333: noteabally this REport --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/650539 [11:05] It fails with the message: "No files found in archive - nothing restored.". [11:05] @anon and if you try a older archive? [11:06] Dr_Willis: why do you suggest twinview over xinerama? [11:06] dave3333: twinview IS Nvidia replacement for 'xinerama' you dont need xinerama - twinview has all its features and more. [11:06] Sibo, I get the same message: "No files found in archive - nothing restored." [11:06] dave3333: that bug report quote --> "Apps are crashing either on launch or as soon as you hover over them." [11:06] dave3333: theres no need to use xinerama. :) twinview does it all and more. [11:07] Anon, did you have try to restore it on a other location? [11:07] Dr_Willis: oh, ok. ill have to try it tomorrow. thanks for all your help [11:07] Sibo, I get the same message: "No files found in archive - nothing restored." [11:08] anon, Mmmm [11:08] quit [11:08] Sibo, but there is nothing wrong with the hard drive that contains the files (3 GB in total). [11:09] dave3333: seems to be a definate issue with more then 2 monitors. [11:10] dave3333: possible fix --> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=841628#p841628 [11:11] oh, awesome [11:11] Anon, did you switched from Ubuntu version? [11:12] Sibo, I'm still using Ubuntu 10.10. The version of Deja Dup is 16 [11:12] dave3333: it seems to affect only qt aps.. which are in your case. vlc and smplayer.. normal gmplayer should work. === mike is now known as Guest23726 [11:12] i'm ssh connected to my desktop at home, can i paste a link into ssh and make it somehow open the file on my desktop? i want to remotely start a torrent, .torrent files are associated with my client at home [11:12] i.e, my torrent client. [11:13] (which is also running) === Guest23726 is now known as jimcooncat_1 [11:13] Dr_Willis: well, qt its worth trying to fix. do you think i should report my bug there too? [11:13] dusf: X system running on both? [11:13] beli: only x at home, my employer hasn't yet found the linux light [11:13] (win xp) [11:14] ubuntu 10.10: flashvideos in firefox & chromium are lagging mean. already installed flashvideoreplacer addon. but when i keep moving my mouse, the videos play normally. googling didnt help. [11:14] hello [11:14] dusf: ok, basically you can X11-forward stuff. so you can run an application on your home box and let the graphical window be forwarded to your client box [11:15] dusf: you need sth. like xming for that on your windows box [11:15] dave3333: its a issue with X, not qt it seems. but it seems to be caused by qt aps. and a patch has been submitted to the Xorg stuff.. but that may take some time to get down to us users. [11:15] dusf: why don't you forward a tunnel with ssh to access the web interface of you torrent client? (it is possible with transmission) [11:15] where do I find a good tutorial on making home directories private? I'm getting conflicting advice from a google search [11:15] jimcooncat_1: watch out for older guides. [11:16] jimcooncat_1: private from other users you mean? [11:16] beli: i don't really need a graphical window on the client win xp box, i just want ubuntu to open a link at home, it knows what to do with the torrent file once told to open it? [11:16] jimcooncat_1: you could just set the permissions to not let others in.. thats the easiest way [11:16] athit: i don't think azureus has a web interface, i use it for rotating seeding files purposes [11:16] jrib, yes. Dr_Willis, looking for the chmod and umask entries [11:16] dusf: there are cli only torrent clients.. and MOST torrent clients (gui) can also have a 'watch directory' where they auto-load torrents from. [11:16] dusf: oh, you need to edit your mime types then...sorry i missunderstood your q then [11:17] jimcooncat_1: just « chmod 770 ~ », nothing else to do... [11:17] dusf: many also have web interfaces you could use to controll. [11:17] Dr_Willis: that is correct, there is a watch directory setting in az, i don't think i have it enabled though [11:17] dusf: going for mailcap entries for .torrent you need to set DISPLAY correctly i think... [11:17] thanks jrib. I want future users to also have that too === neexx_ is now known as neexx [11:18] Dr_Willis: should i report my information in the bug report? [11:18] dave3333: you could. but it seems to be decently well covered. [11:18] jimcooncat_1: actually you should do 750, though it doesn't really matter for ubuntu. And to edit it for future users, edit /etc/adduser.conf [11:18] dave3333: it may take 6Mo for a patch to get down to us however. :() [11:19] jrib, you rock. [11:19] dusf: grep torrent in /etc/mailcap may give a hint [11:20] jimcooncat_1: I'm pretty sure the gui just uses adduser, but you should check (I'm assuming you are creating new users through the gui) [11:20] Anon, im searching for you and try to replicate the problem, try in the mean time the gnome IRC channel [11:20] Dr_Willis: wow, thanks for your help, i really need to go now though, see-ya [11:20] Sibo, thanks. I appreciate it. === matthew is now known as Guest1575 [11:22] jrib, in adduser.conf, I change DIR_MODE=0755 to 0750? [11:23] which is the best python IDE to use on Ubuntu 10.04? [11:23] that's IDE for python [11:23] rigved: Try #python [11:23] rigved: IDLE [11:23] !ide [11:23] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [11:24] kcj, yeats, Dr_Willis: thanx [11:24] Does anyone know if I can install the open-source video drivers for ati hardware that come with 9.10 in 10.10? [11:27] i use logrotate to mange nginx error.txt file.. only root has permissions to read the error.txt file, i want my user to be able to read it.. so i did chmod.. but the next time logrotate creates a new file .. the change permissions are lost.. how do i prevent it? [11:28] codeshepherd: in logrotate.conf, you can specify the permissions and ownership of the new file [11:28] thanks timo [11:28] codeshepherd: with the 'create' directive, see man logrotate [11:31] where is openjdk compiler? there is no compiler in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin [11:32] bsod1: type -P javac [11:32] codeshepherd, another way would be to create a usergroup called "logreaders" and add yourself to it then setGID of the log folder to that group [11:32] thanks airtonix [11:33] 大家哈哦 [11:33] Sibo, now Deja Dup says "Restoring", but does not give any details.

What i saw is that Deja-dup duplicity used. Maybe you can restore your archive with in de cli with duplicity. Try to restore it to a temp directory. [11:36] bsod1: maybe eclipse has its own compiler [11:36] erUSUL: damn oracle's JDK and eclipse's JDK works differently on my project, and deadline is in a few hours.

[11:41] erUSUL: thats close to magic I guess. :) [11:41] i can login to 192.168.1.1 [11:41] Dr_Willis: unexpected; at leat for me ;P [11:41] Anon, i dont know if you have a difftar archive.

Ubuntu 10.10 - Compiz 0.8.6 + compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and ccsm [12:28] #xbins [12:28] jshmoe24: This is from a comercial DVD? [12:28] yes, one that i have bought of course though [12:28] just for backup [12:28] I know where your going [12:28] it might have encryption [12:28] right [12:28] jshmoe24: ive seen some newer movid dvd's that give problems when trying to read/copy them some bug in the decess libs or somthing.

Then i use mkisofs to make a iso and then burn it to disk [12:30] Robinux: i doubt if he saveings/differance will matter very much [12:30] thats why i even asked for shortcut keys to move between workspaces, Dr_Willis :P [12:30] Robinux: eeeh... not really, workspaces are merely a convenience, they have no effect on memory [12:30] jshmoe24: you may want to check out k3b. it can automate that.

I have noticed Kaffeine runs my 720p videos a bit smoother in opensuse [12:46] by the way they said something about new intel drivers and that graphics on netbooks would be smoother in 10.10. do this drivers and the "better" touch support get ported back to 10.04 too ? [12:47] sosaited: mplayer has its own "video engine" it does not use other's. [12:47] sosaited: so use kaffeine+libxine in (k)ubuntu too. or xine-ui directly [12:47] Is there any other player that uses xine? I think I can install kaffeine on ubuntu, but I am afraid those kde libraries and stuff might slow it down and then the point will be moot [12:48] sosaited: you can tell mplayer to use xine backend [12:48] oh sorry, I meant Totem [12:49] ActionParsnip: Can I do that in totem or VLC as well? [12:49] sosaited: not sure, let me see [12:49] does any know or can recommend a good video card that would allow me to get compiz working on a dell optiplex gx240 as I will be going to a computer fair in a couple of hours that sells computer parts for cheap === Mat_spinoza is now known as HThumb [12:49] sosaited: already told you ---> xine-ui [12:49] !info xine-ui | sosaited [12:49] sosaited: xine-ui (source: xine-ui): the xine video player, user interface.

[12:56] ActionParsnip, no I am in xfce [12:57] blue_anna: you need to edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf find this line: #listen-address= and change it to: listen-address=127.0.0.1 [12:57] elleryss, ^^ listening to some fine music bem dia [12:57] erUSUL, I installed it. so now it will automatically do the job or i need to do something manualy? === codeshepherd_ is now known as codeshepherd [12:57] ActionParsnip, I did that already [12:57] AbhiJit: that's it. nothing else is needed [12:57] blue_anna: if you use a gui network manager app then you will need to add it to the config there, set the interface to DHCP (address only) then set the DNS to: 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.1, 8.8.8.8 [12:58] hi [12:58] erUSUL, yah thats nice! thank you! :) [12:58] blue_anna: obv replace 192.168.0.1 with your routers IP [12:59] ActionParsnip, I got it now, thank you :) that's funny, I switched network interfaces to eth1 and that was why ..

[13:15] ghostnik11: as long as the video cchip can do 3D accelleration in ubuntu, you can run compiz [13:15] chicognu: fileroller, its in a default install [13:15] chicognu: or ark in kde [13:15] actionparsnip: okay, but its an agp slot and i don't know if i can get a pci video card and use that to run compiz as i have unused pci slots [13:16] Hey guys, I'm planning on buying a new graphics card. I occasionally play Enemy Territory, True Combat Elite and Urban Terror. Will a nVidia 8400GS run these games or would I be better of getting a 9400 or 9500GT? [13:16] ghostnik11: the interface is moot, its the chip you need to worry about [13:16] The_Dude: i played urban terror on a 6250LE very well [13:17] The_Dude: whats the difference in price? [13:17] actionparsnip: so i am good an agp card will work or pci card just have to get one that had 3d acceleration and more than 256 mb? [13:17] Hi, I have a problem, find command outputs different results depending on -print switch. Is it normal? [13:17] I don't get from manual how output can be different [13:17] ActionParsnip, About 12 euro's. [13:17] I think [13:17] ghostnik11: the only thing the interface changes is data speed, agp willmake it run a bit better [13:17] please, could someone take a look at command here: http://pastebin.com/pNaSMW68 [13:17] The_Dude: may as well spend it then [13:18] I'm leaning towards the 9500GT. I assume it supports vdpau as well? [13:19] The_Dude: will do, yes [13:19] actionparsnip: okay I will be getting a new video card but, when i do where can i go on the internet to read up about changing the interface to increase the data speed of the video card [13:20] Does anyone knew the solution to missing menu in audacity? [13:20] ghostnik11: thats dictated by the speed of your AGP slot, if its 4x and you stick and 8x card in it, it will run at 4x (the slowest speed) [13:20] note the first command without -print display's additional files ending with '~' and begining with '.' which are added to -prune switch (therefore should be ingored) [13:20] hi all [13:20] hi tamir [13:20] i hava ubuntu 10.04 How to i install tv card and dispay??

[14:19] hallo: no; she can just change the other user's passwords [14:19] hallo: they might use the same pw for other thins eg. email accounts [14:19] swim: try win32 codecs and libdvdcss2 [14:19] *things [14:20] hallo: or what aeon-ltd said [14:20] aeon-ltd: good point ;) [14:20] hallo: if a user has root access it can change the password of any user, so cracking wont be necessary [14:20] Tanks guys :) [14:21] hallo: ubuntu doesn't support having a root password, nor is it supported [14:21] aparently the growifs tool can finalize a disk.. but ive no idea if it will really work.. and it could break the disk [14:21] hey [14:21] hey [14:21] how can i get the pid of a window ?

[14:48] Chalkie1983: not sure thats going to be doable at all. [14:48] Chalkie1983: you would have to somehow tell it to boot the ubuntu media.. [14:49] I have to wonder if anyone else finds the idea of a 'server running windows xp' a little... odd.. [14:49] Hello everybody i get a SIGILL on ubuntu 10.04 when listen() is called on a QTcpServer with QT 4.6.2 [14:49] Dr_Willis i purchased it rather cheaply [14:50] Chalkie1983: so is just a web server or somthing? [14:50] yeah thats all i wanna do is webhosting [14:50] windows server 2003 mayb but not xp [14:50] i was gonna use apache for winblows [14:51] hello! I have a problem. I want to remove a program I compiled from a .tar.gz so I can use the PPA version instead (which is more updated). However, I don't think the tarball came with make uninstall. Can I simply delete every known file associated with this program, or do I have to unregister is someplace else before it is wiped off my computer? [14:52] derp_: double check that theres no make uninstall.. that will save a lot of time [14:52] Chalkie1983: you will need to boot to some form of install media, if you had a DRAC card in the system you can do it 100% remotely (assuming you use Dell hardware ;)) [14:52] derp_: cd into the dir and make uninstall [14:52] derp_: and in the future you may want to instgasll stuff from soruce to the /opt/ directory [14:52] derp_: if you use the PPA it will simply replace the files [14:53] I did try running make uninstall but nothing seemed to happen? [14:53] Just figured out why I couldn't access my Windows 7 shares on my Ubuntu laptop. Windows Live Mail/Messenger was interfering with Samba for some reason. Anyone know of a way to get Samba working with Mail/Messenger installed on Windows 7? === gerald is now known as Guest19940 [14:53] or /usr/local instead of /opt/ [14:53] I have since installed the checkinstall package so that future programs end up as .deb packages, though. [14:54] I've uninstalled Mail/Messenger and Samba is working correctly now, but if anyone knows how to get it working with Windows Live Mail/Messenger installed then that'd be awesome if they could tell me how to get it working. If not I'll just use alternative software. [14:54] the ppa may or may not install over it. Ive seen source packges default to like /usr/local and deb's not [14:55] stnick5: this is the first ive heard of the 2 conflicting.. i cant imagine why they would conflict [14:55] hmm [14:56] Dr_Willis: It's been discussed quite a lot on various forums. I found a lot of other users with the same problem when Googling for a solution [14:56] I found a lot of people who fixed it by uninstalling Mail/Messenger (I'm one of them now), but nobody who has got it working with them installed.

[15:08] RetroGamer: no, or it will undo the setting [15:08] RetroGamer: just go for the update [15:08] bye [15:08] RetroGamer: if its good you can apply the setting to network manager so it sticks [15:08] Stem: eww.

[15:12] Do I have to be in Live mode to make the fix?? [15:12] ActionParsnip, how do i do that?

Here's what I did: installed maverick using netboot on a hard drive, moved all the files onto the nfs server, re-created the initrd after changing i [15:17] ActionParsnip: i don't know much about the crappy defalt OS installed on the eee [15:18] robertzaccour: did you MD5 test the ISO before transferring it? [15:18] sudo apt-get purge firefox* epiphany* does not remove both [15:18] I thought initrd was broken, but it mounts the root filesytem all fine [15:18] my screenlets wont start at startup?how to get over it?amusing 10.10 [15:18] Frijolie: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox* epiphany* [15:18] it's the init that's breaking up. Any idea why it doesn't display anything? How can I make it output some debug? [15:19] sudipta: launch it/them from terminal, the output will give clues [15:19] Does anyone know where I might find a repo with the binary-amtel architecture? I don't really know what to search for so google isn't a lot of help... [15:19] ActionParsnip, see above "sudo apt-get purge firefox* epiphany* does not remove both" [15:19] ActionParsnip: I dont know how to do that [15:19] Hi Does ubuntu have any package that lists all 'C' commands and their syntaxes. I am tired of 'man'. [15:19] Would a re-install fix this problem with ubuntu/ [15:19] as how suppose i want to run the sysmonitor [15:19] robertzaccour: so your ISO is unchecked.

[15:22] guess I stumped the best of 'em [15:22] hmmm [15:23] Stem: basically you mount tye system (access it and it should tget mounted) then run the proper command SIMILER to this one..

[15:26] cant it be ven installed on a usb [15:26] even [15:26] Diverdude, using google. or your favourite search engine.... typcially use keywords like : ppa [15:26] Stem: but at the end of the install. i belive it asked to isntall GRUB to 'sda' or some other location. [15:26] anyone knows which is more appropriate to stop shell login i.e. /etc/nologin or /bin/false [15:26] i use it but yahoo widgets r good(graphically).Is there any way to run them on ubuntu [15:26] Stem: it can.. but you need to be carefull where you put grub. [15:26] did anyone with maverick ever see any boot messages from init? [15:26] dr_willis will it work if I reinstall ubuntu [15:27] Frijolie: you should run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove to get rid of those pesky packages [15:27] Its ok if it would take more time [15:27] sudipta, thats your opinon. and i have no idea because just use the watch command in tilda [15:27] Stem: it worked befor.. so of coruse it should work.. but thats a little overkill. [15:27] overkill? [15:27] Stem: the issue may be that the updater installed/did grub to the wrong location [15:27] I dont have anything on it really [15:27] Stem: its your time :) not mine. [15:27] It is wotth while to learn how grub works. [15:27] sorry i didnt get it......:) [15:28] ActionParsnip, i did http://pastebin.com/MYwtJhPv [15:28] I remember it was updating grub [15:28] testurday [15:28] and it kind of stopped at 98% [15:28] Frijolie: try simply: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox [15:29] hi. is it better to have GRUB in /dev/sda MBR or /dev/sda1/ First sector of boot partition ? [15:29] Stem: pay attention to the installer and be sure to see wher its putting grub. It could be it put GRUB on sda (the internal drive) when you should of toldit to put it on the external HD. [15:29] did anyone hear about the service that erases /etc/hosts after reboot? one user keeps mumbling about it [15:29] Stem: You could even install grub to all the hd;s 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' === nhandler is now known as evilnhandler [15:29] ActionParsnip, "couldn't find package firefox" (its already uninstalled) === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [15:29] correction - anyone knows which is more appropriate to stop shell login i.e. /sbin/nologin or /bin/false ? [15:30] amarcolino, nologin will probably display a friendlier message [15:30] well the primary HD has windows [15:30] amarcolino: i dont have a /sbin/nologin [15:30] I dont want to screw with that [15:30] ActionParsnip, sudo apt-get --purge remove epiphany-browser (http://pastebin.com/SBJJdW0v) [15:30] ActionParsnip, (tries to install firefox again) [15:31] I got an external hd so that it wont effect the primary built in HD [15:31] it was running well [15:31] Stem: for all we know . You allready have isntalled grub to the hard drive on it. [15:31] Frijolie: try letting it install as it wants, ten remove it [15:31] lol [15:31] windows is probably like WTF? lol [15:31] Stem: pay attentoon to the insteller ,. the last dialog box I think has a item at the bottom where to install grub to. [15:31] which installer [15:31] Stem: if you Unplug the USB hd and reboot the pc.. do you see a grub menu or message - that will be the answer. [15:31] ActionParsnip, that's what ive been doing, you let it uninstall epiphany-browser and it installs firefox, you uninstall firefox and it installs epiphany-browser [15:31] ActionParsnip, that's why i'm here [15:32] Dr_Willis: /usr/sbin/nologin [15:32] if I unplug the USB [15:32] ActionParsnip, I don't want either installed [15:32] it wil go to the LIve cd [15:32] Stem: the Ubuntun installer aks where to install grub.. you want to tell it to put it on the USB hd.. and boot the PC from the usb hd. [15:32] Frijolie: very very weird [15:32] Stem: and if no USB and no cd.. does it boot windows normally? [15:32] ActionParsnip, I agree [15:32] No iwindows is screwed [15:32] sudipta, i don't see any difference between yahoo widgets and google gadgets to be honest [15:32] but it always was from the beginning [15:32] i love yahoo widgets, i wish it was available for us [15:32] windows is so damn unreliable [15:33] Stem: Huh? so windows was broken befor you even tried to install ubutnu? [15:33] yes [15:33] but I was not installing ubuntu on THAT same HD [15:33] UukGoblin: I really don't care about displaying a friendly message just want the accounts not to have shell even better disconnect if anyone tries to login [15:33] I put it on a external [15:33] Stem: im talking about GRUB.. not the main UBUNTU install.. [15:33] Stem: you can Install GRUB to the USB HD and still put GRUB on the internal HD. [15:33] you're booting from an external? [15:33] oops backwards.. [15:33] Stem: you can Install Ubuntu to the USB HD and still put GRUB on the internal HD. [15:33] Ohh I see [15:34] Stem: you want to be SURE (6th time for me to say this) to tell the installer to put GRUB on teh same HD as your Ubuntu install..... [15:34] So the main installer of ubuntu does not install grub? [15:34] Stem: and tell the PC to boot the usb first. [15:34] it DOES install it.. and it asks where. [15:35] and the DEFAULT is normally 'sda' which is normally the INTERNAL hard drive [15:35] ok... easy Dr_Willis ... I am new to this [15:35] does the gnome remote desktop 2.32 support file transfers ? [15:35] yeah i have that too.DO u know how to add more widgets to it ,cause it comes with a few gadgets [15:35] whch is proberly NOT what you want. :) [15:35] Do I remove th live cd also? [15:35] If I want to make my own customized ubuntu cd, where is the best place to start reading up? [15:35] is it because of upstart that I don't see any boot messages?\ [15:36] sudipta, ? yes but i forget and cant be bothered exploring the ' for you.. you should do it. it will only take you a few seconds to discover it. [15:36] ok [15:36] thnx [15:36] !enter [15:36] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[15:38] it now says GRUB loading... error: no such disk...Grub Rescue [15:38] buaaa :(((( [15:38] I guess its on the harddrive [15:38] Stem: grub is aparently installed to sda :) correct. [15:38] the main one [15:38] ath9k doesn't work, madwifi doesn't work [15:38] yes [15:39] Stem: you could try booting the PC from teh USB hd via the bios .. it might actually boot or try telling the bios to boot from the HD first.. it might boot. [15:39] Yes I did set that [15:39] It does boot from the USB first [15:39] But you told me to unplug it [15:39] :) [15:40] Stem: now Plug it back in. and tell the PC to boot from the HD first.. [15:40] Hi [15:40] Stem: try both with it plugged in. One might work. [15:40] hi [15:40] Can i push any DNS names to the DHCP Clients ? [15:40] Where can I download the alsamixer? [15:40] !find alsamixer [15:40] Found: alsamixergui, gnome-alsamixer [15:40] from my DHCP Server [15:40] for example DNS 8.8.8.8 [15:41] hi [15:41] ok booted from USB [15:41] still says the same error [15:41] What terminal command would i use to get the alsamixer, not gui [15:41] haha [15:42] Booted from Hradrive and it says GRUB RESCUE [15:42] both dont work [15:42] For some reason i don't have it. [15:42] incster: alsamixer requires no gui [15:42] incster: command is 'alsamixer' for a curses based mixer in a terminal [15:42] Does the new Ubuntu come with the new GRUB? [15:42] Because I am using 9.10 [15:42] Stem: ubuntu uses grub2 for the last 2 releases.. not sure what 9.10 came with.. [15:43] or alsactl === dave is now known as Guest29708 [15:43] "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory" [15:43] Stem: if you are going to do a clean isntall.. why are you useign 9.10 ? [15:43] I had the installation cd [15:43] a original [15:43] I would suggest finding a 10.10 cd. :) [15:43] kj [15:44] haha ya I actually was doing that [15:44] I cant even rember the changes from 9.10 to 10.10 [15:44] while downloading from windows I got a blue screen and windows never loaded again [15:44] probably something else [15:44] but still...bad luck [15:44] I was trying to download 10.10 [15:44] any idea?

The file Important disaapears! Yikes... [15:50] I access the server from both a 9.04 and 10.10 machine with the same reproducible symptom. [15:51] x404x most vnc's dont allow moving files between machines but if you have vnc you can add pure-ftpd and pureadmin to your ubuntu machine for file x-fers [15:51] x404x pureadmin makeks ftp service very simple [15:52] then i need to add ftp to the nat translation also, since my crap router doesnt work with webinterface, i had to setup in telnet which was a nightmare (thomson st780) [15:52] Is there any way to set up a VPN connection though only the terminal, using SSH? I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 server..? [15:53] x404x ouch man that stinks [15:53] i read in dox that file xfers are done different on linux and windows, maybe thats why mine dont work, im using windows to control a ubuntu server [15:53] I think this page is exactly what I need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics but there is no directory called "vgaswitcheroo" at the location specified...how do I install it? [15:53] x404x does your router support dmz hosting? [15:53] Can any one confirm this problem: Accessing a share on Ubuntu 10.04.1 filesserver. I have an important file called Important and then create a fodler called Inportant. The file Important disaapears! Yikes... [15:53] I access the server from both a 9.04 and 10.10 machine with the same reproducible symptom. [15:54] yeah and all i got from my isp was "your line works" they did not even bother to get up from their chair to read my problems [15:54] x404x if so you can place your ubuntu box "outside" the firewall virtualy [15:54] Hi, I have a little question I run Office 2007 on wine and even though I installer MS font, the font displayed arn't quite right. When I compare what I see in wine and in virtualbox running the same file the font are different. Someone have an idea ? thank a lot [15:54] hm that sound pretty insecure... [15:54] capetown, report the bug on freenode [15:54] *launchpad [15:54] hi [15:54] not sure why I typed freenode >< [15:54] i've got an atheros wifi card [15:54] x404x you can then use firestarter on ubuntu to secure the machine [15:55] with ubuntu 10.10 [15:55] anyway its pretty horrible to setup nat in telnet... [15:55] x404x its how I have mine set up [15:55] and i get packages lost pinging [15:55] its crap enough if the web interface did work, i really need a new router/modem [15:55] i use madwifi driver [15:55] x404x I have had similer problems with many brands [15:56] x404x I found that I can rely on ubuntus stability and security far more then a router firewall [15:57] yeah my isp tryed to hack the code, i even get their name when logging in to it... guess why it never works right lol [15:57] the retards cant even read my support tickets and havent even figured out my router doesnt work right [15:57] any idea? [15:57] they just suggest resetting it and losing all my settings every day [15:57] Opensuse is known by it's YAST control center, a powerfull tool that centralizes all the system configurations. It makes a lot simpler to configure the system, why Ubuntu never make use of such thing ? [15:57] x404x at least they dont try to hang up on you when you tell them you use linux [15:58] lol hang up, i didnt even try to call, i sendt them email and i never mentioned linux [15:58] karthick87 I will take apt over yast anyday for ease of use [15:58] they prolly figgered that out themselves since i need dhcp and nat translations [15:58] karthick87: Because YaST is slow and there's no need for it [15:58] they just wanna sell internet to old grannies with no clue [15:59] x404x lol [15:59] dustin_: oke [15:59] And it can be quite inflexible. [15:59] Is it "safe" to add older repositories to my /etc/apt/sources.list? I want to install gcc 2.95. [15:59] wish i could be my own isp hehe [15:59] is it possible to control NetworkManager from the command line? [15:59] claude2: yes [15:59] I want to tell it to enable networking [15:59] athewros wifi card problem [16:00] If I find a bug in ubuntu server where should I report it? [16:00] x404x, why is it unsecure? if you have no services running the you have no open ports. [16:01] x404x well try using dmz I have strong doubts that you will get hacked especialy if you dont have SSH server enabled (its not by default) then add pureadmin through synaptic manager [16:01] !bugs | capetown [16:01] capetown: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [16:01] x404x it wil take care of the pure-ftpd dependance automaticaly [16:02] x404x, even if you do run a "Listening Service" on a WAN address like sshd, then you would want to 1) run it on a non standard port. 2) use Hosts/Deny 3) setup max password attempts before client IP address is blocked by IPtables. [16:03] atheros doesn't work!! [16:03] aeon-ltd: are you in a position to confirm this bug?

Am I doing something wrong? thank you. [16:06] How can I auto startup a program in minimized state? [16:06] i've reded it 3 times [16:06] *read [16:06] samantha2: you select gnome or lxde at the LOGIN screen via the menus [16:06] ath9k troubles with ubuntu 10.10 [16:07] Vhozard: devilspie, or compuiz i belive can be configured to do that. [16:07] I want to be able to auto-start KTorrent in minimized (to taskbar) state. How Can I do that? === xcv is now known as DaZ [16:07] Vhozard: add it to your start up applications [16:07] Vhozard: ktorrent Might have command line options to do it. [16:08] Vhozard, have you looked at "maximus" [16:08] Vhozard, it might have an option to do it [16:08] I know Transmission as option to start minimized, so ktorrent should too [16:08] Vhozard, (maximus is a program to start programs in a maximized state) [16:08] Dr_willis, I can access Lubuntu from the bottom screen. That isn't the problem. Everytime I boot my laptop. I want it to display the Lubuntu Login Screen instead of the Ubuntu Login Screen. [16:08] I will take a look at maximus [16:09] vhozard adding it to your startup applications by using "menue" System/preferences/startup tasks [16:09] Yes, I know that. [16:09] I was wondering how I could do that AND have it start in minimized state. [16:09] Vhozard: check out the 'kstart' tool - i think it can do that also. [16:09] vhozard you would then select brouse and go to usr/bin and select ktorrent [16:09] I have a really strange bug! Please can someone help me verify this! I share a drive from a 10.04.1 server to two clients. 9.04 and 10.10. In both I have the same symptom. It goes like this. I create a file called Important and then I create a folder called Important. Instantly the file called Important disappears! Normally people are not doing this but I randomly sumbled accross it! Please could someone offer to verify... [16:09] dustin_ I know.... I said that already. [16:09] samantha2: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm should let you select what Xdm to use. [16:10] vhozard sorry just started looking at chat 2 sec ago [16:10] thank you [16:10] Dr_Willis I dont think kstart can do that. [16:10] capetown: share as in using 'samba' you mean [16:11] Is there any way I could let it start minimized by specifying a command option, like: ktorrent -minimized ?? [16:11] Vhozard: kstart has several related options to that stuff.. [16:11] Vhozard: You'd have to check the documentation [16:11] Dr_W: Yes. it is a SAMBA server. [16:12] Dr_W: I have had no problems until stumbling accross this randomly. It has not caused me tears yet. [16:12] capetown try 2 identical dirs/files with differnet Case In the anmes also.. samba will hide one because its doing things to keep stuff compatiablw with wiondows. [16:13] capetown: look on the linux side. and the stuff is proberly there.. samba is hideing it from the clients [16:13] Dr_W: I will check if it gets hidden... [16:13] hi everyone. need help with bison webam. i've contacted the manufacturer of my netbook, and they apparently don't have the model number of my webcam; just that its a bison. its not working with ubuntu. any suggestions to make it work? [16:13] groovy_d open a terminal and type lsusb -v [16:14] thanks dustin_ [16:14] adn see if you can find your webcam in the list [16:14] Hmm. I cant even seem to make a file and dir with the same name on Linux... :) [16:14] #samba may know more about how its doing the stuff [16:14] Dr_W: Nope. I created a file called test2, and then a folder called test2 and the file test2 suddenly disappears. [16:15] Dr_W: Yes. I did try to make a file called x and then a folder called x and visa versa. The second one refuses to be created. BUT that is on your LOCAL filesystem! [16:16] I just tried making a file and folder with the same name, and it didn't work either (Xfce 4.6 on Ubuntu 10.10) [16:16] Interesting.. id say ask in #samba. theres proberly some settings that can tweak the behaivor [16:16] just wondering if accounts like daemon in /etc/passwd require a valid shell because I thought the shell was only for logins instead of processes that run internally. In that case I could change the shell to false without any consequences to the system, unless someone can say otherwise [16:16] @dustin_: webcam not on list [16:16] capetown: mkdir then touch? [16:17] groovy_d if the webcam is no tin the list at all then there probably isnt support for it yet under linux/ubuntu [16:17] aeon-ltd: Okay, I will try that... [16:17] that sucks... thanks dustin_ [16:18] hello [16:18] looks like its time to change to mint [16:18] groovy_d dont give up on us though there may be a work around check the forums for your model of laptop [16:18] can somebody help me find my sound card using aplay -l I need to know what my device=hw is [16:18] amarcolino: its proberly best to leave those things alone. :) [16:18] hi all.. where is the channels logs for this server?

[16:24] When creating a new text file, should I add a .txt extension to its name? [16:24] but i really doubt you know about it) [16:24] karthick87: dosent matter. [16:24] karthick87: add it if you like.. [16:24] Hi Everyone, I had a quick question. I wanted to install ubuntu server to use as a file server/media server (for my ps3). I currently have Windows 7 with data I want to keep on it. Can I install ubuntu without formatting? [16:24] Kartagis: like Dr_Willis said, it doesn't matter. Linux detects the file type based on it's stickybit. [16:25] Nikki_: you can resuize the windows partitions from within windows. or via the linux installer. [16:25] Nikki_: when in doubt.. make backups first [16:25] Dr_Willis: - thanks. I will probably just backuip and install. less risk! [16:25] thanks :) [16:26] oi [16:26] quem ta ai? [16:29] So if I want to download the alternate installer of 10.10 x64, ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent is the way to go, right> [16:29] anyone know i its possible to use virtual box with the ubuntu partition that is already on the computer? through windows 7?

[16:32] it says package out of date [16:32] syn-ack, I didn't even ask a question. why did you refer to me? [16:32] Kartagis: like Dr_Willis said, it doesn't matter. Linux detects the file type based on it's stickybit. [16:33] any sollution peeease x((((( [16:33] If you want to install Sk [16:33] Kartagis: may have been a miss-fire. Sorry about that [16:33] oh, you meant to refer to karthick87 [16:33] aye [16:33] atheros card doesn't work, i can ping to 192.168.1.1 [16:33] but no to google.com [16:34] sapiens__: i thought it was determined that the card was working only had VERY high packet loss.... [16:34] hey guys, i have to recompile apache on my mac, i would like to try and recompile it with the same settings that ubuntu uses (in terms of command line options), i'm not familiar with the build aspect's of ubuntu (very familar with the system), can someone point me to where i may find this? [16:34] are there any defragmenting tools for ubuntu? ive got my ext3 overflowed and have started using my ntfs windows partition to store stuff under ubuntu. [16:34] sapiens__: I'd say that your card is working fine. Sounds like your DNS may be misconfigured [16:34] cannonfodder: to defrag NTFS you mean? [16:34] yes [16:34] cannonfodder: Not for NTFS, there are tools though [16:34] Dr_Willis: on ubuntu 10.04 and other linux atheros runs like a charm [16:34] i basically jsut want to know how ubuntu distributes their binaries for the "./configure" line [16:34] no [16:34] it doesn't show in phpinfo() [16:34] sapiens__: or your gateway [16:35] ok thanks guys [16:35] it have the same DNS as wired connection [16:35] hi,is xubuntu just ubuntu w a different window manager? [16:35] Just wanting to ask a question about sharing between Ubuntu and Windows 7. I've got it set up so that my Ubuntu machine can access the drives on my Windows 7 machine, and I need to enter a password, but I'm in student accommodation on a network with everyone else. Is it possible that everyone else will be able to access my shared drives? [16:35] sapiens__: I think your Default gataway is pointing to a other network card [16:35] sapiens__: I thought an hr+ was spent earlioer today with you and it was determined the wireless drivers were teh issue.. what has changed since then? you were trying to compile the latest drivers/kernel i thought earlier today [16:35] i tried Google, opendns, noip, ISP DNS services [16:35] is it me or are the bookmarks in firefox not really synching? seems everything just gets dumped into unsorted bookmarks is that really how its supposed to work? [16:35] Hey. [16:35] mkl: For the most part, yes. [16:36] Sibo: ?¿?¿ [16:36] sorry i was talking about bindwood ubuntu one firefox sync [16:36] Does anyone know if I can install Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a HP Pavillion? [16:36] netbook ed. should install anywhere ubuntu can. [16:37] i tried commpiling ath9k module manually [16:37] sapiens__: Try #route add default gw IP [16:37] 大家好 [16:37] i thied with ndiswrapper [16:37] syn-ack: what do u mean by most part? [16:37] i tried compiling madwifi driver [16:37] sapiens__: and earlier today you could Ping google.com but with a 60% packet loss... [16:37] niggger: Please change your nick. That's not really appropriate for the channel. [16:37] sapiens__: so basically that all failed? [16:37] yes === kevin is now known as quest88 [16:38] mkl: Yes, yes it is.

[16:40] its good ) [16:40] i like vlc [16:40] join #ubuntu-fr [16:40] it sounds louder [16:40] wine's crap [16:40] !vlc [16:40] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [16:41] ahtmly2k_: does `xvinfo` return a lot of output, or does it just say "no adaptors present" ? [16:41] syn-ack: do u think ubuntu with the manager switched to the XFCE will run same speed as xubuntu? [16:41] dunno whatya mean [16:41] noise_: hi there [16:41] mkl: yes. [16:41] xvinfo? === ArchOverLoad is now known as GNU\Stallman [16:41] ahtmly2k_: yes , run that on a terminal [16:41] i think adapters fine [16:41] hi [16:41] compiz seems all good [16:42] noise_: Install playonlinux and in playonlinux dream.. 8 [16:42] ahtmly2k_ yes it is, but if you need to see cyrillic symbols in dc++ or filezilla,- wine is the best solution ) [16:42] syn-ack: cool,that saves me a dl :) [16:42] mkl: Depending on the hardware you have, it may actually run a bit faster. [16:43] still i dualboot anyways.. i need adobe cs4.. nothing within linux just cuts it// [16:43] .. [16:44] 28 packets transmitted, 8 received, 71% packet loss, time 41153ms [16:44] ahtmly2k: You want CS4 in linux? [16:44] i did. and what exactly am i looking for? [16:44] does anyone know the dbus command to start networking with Network Manager? [16:44] (06:41:03 PM) alkisg: ahtmly2k_: does `xvinfo` return a lot of output, or does it just say "no adaptors present" ? [16:44] Why is Mark Shuttleworth going to destroy Ubuntu in the upcoming major releases by using a stupid desktop environment like "Unity"? [16:45] a heck load.. dunno waht it means either.. heheh.. [16:46] ahtmly2k_: ok, then it isn't a XVideo problem. Just thought you should check that first before trying to find the codec problem. [16:46] oh wait.. should i be doing it while running a clip? [16:46] GNU/Stallman Gnome, xfce, kde, and unity will all be available when the unity desktop is made the default [16:46] ahtmly2k_: no [16:47] okey dokey.. yeah well everything seemed hunkydorry.. [16:47] I'm still unsure if I agree with the move to unity as the default for desktop. [16:47] but still laggy [16:47] GNU/Stallman there has been a call from the greater majority to make a standard desktop (like unity) for all the distros as the default but the alternatives will never die [16:47] Does anyone else notice facebook images look lower quality in Ubuntu? [16:47] when i change permissions of a directory and include for the changes to apply permissions to enclosed folders, why does it not change enclosed directories?? [16:48] x0rs I think it may bew your browser settings [16:48] syn-ack: what's ur opinion about 10.04 vs 10.10? i have 10.04 atm. i have a bit older compy (32bit, one core)? [16:48] dustin_: thanks let me check [16:49] if I have card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC889A Digital [ALC889A Digital] would device=hw:1;1 my device name? [16:49] mkl: They're going to run about the same, really. [16:49] x0rs my wife says hers looks just the same on all the computers she uses [16:49] can someone type the command to check accounts on the system? [16:50] amarcolino what are you trying to find out about the accounts? [16:50] hey guys, sorry to ask again but...I'm having a problem where uinput won't load in 10.10 64-bit. sudo modprobe uinput returns successfully, but it doesn't show up in lsmod | grep uinput (and my thinkfinger fingerprint reader won't work). any ideas? thanks! [16:50] any of you have experience networking multiple qemu's? http://pastebin.ca/1991075 [16:50] dustin_, you'e aware you can type 'GNU\' and hit tab on 99% of all IRC clients and it nick completes eh? I noticed you're typing the entire nick out, and you're doing it wrong also [16:50] syn-ack: wouldn't an older distrib be better? [16:50] mkl: The only real advantage you'll get over with 10.04 is that it's LTS. [16:50] mkl: in this case, no. [16:51] dustin_, Also I hardly think shuttleworth's personal decisions are "calls from a greater majority" [16:51] poutine, sorry never noticed that feature ty for pointing it out [16:51] dustin_: just want a list of all accounts in the system that way I can disable the ones I want [16:52] greetings folks [16:52] syn-ack: does lts mean there's going to be bug fixing for longer time? [16:52] amarcolino: why not use a graphical tool like users-admin which is included in gnome? [16:52] amarcolino there is a gui tool for users under administration utilities that will do that [16:52] mkl: exactly. [16:53] alkisg, dustin_: that wont work on a sever install with no X server [16:53] dustin_: thanks, you were right about it being my browser. I downloaded Chrome (normally use Firefox), and the problem no longer exists. But I need to figure out what is causing it in my firefox settings. [16:53] poutine, according to the magazines I buy at $20/month each there is a call from the greater majority of users to make some features standard on all linux distrobutions [16:54] amarcolino: you can get a full list with `getent passwd`, but you'll need to know your command line stuff to disable the accounts you want [16:54] poutine, one of those being default desktop environment [16:54] dustin_: like what? a kernel? [16:54] default DE? that's stupid [16:54] syn-ack: thnx a lot friend [16:54] Some configuration of my Thinkpad's trackpoint is available through files in /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2, however, as of 10.10 that last 2 increments on suspend/resume and settings reset to their defaults. Can someone suggest a way to prevent this? [16:54] mkl: No problem. [16:55] dustin_, yeah, well your magazine is incorrect, there is no majority call for unification, [16:55] Unification? [16:55] I don't even know how you'd quantify something like that [16:55] how the hell can you make something "standard" when there is no control over anything? === aria is now known as Guest7176 [16:55] linus doesn't even follow POSIX fully [16:55] *linux [16:56] alkisg: no worries about that apparently I just don't know how to get a list of accounts in the system compared to adding or deleting users, weird I know, I guess I've been skipping the basics [16:56] amarcolino, sorry I know how to add remove and modify them in terminal but not list [16:56] Nisstyre65: I'd say it's probably 90% supported with the other 10 % being replaced with LSB [16:56] does make-kpkg make use of all available cores (multi-threaded compilation)? [16:56] amarcolino: in `getent passwd`, the users with UID < 1000 are system users, don't disable those. [16:56] that is, by default [16:57] randomparticle: depends. out of the box, iirc it only uses one. [16:57] basically mark shuttleworth seems to think he's going to make the next mac osx (despite osx having such a low market share that it's laughable), so he makes a lot of these decisions for the community, and he hasn't shot himself in the foot too bad yet (almost did with his window control moving), unity is going to fail [16:57] poutine, thats why you have "open source utilities" is so that you can do this funny thing called "modification" to make what you want [16:57] ok, thanks. is there a command-line option to specify the number used? [16:57] maybe too. It's been a while since I played with its config [16:57] i can't see one in the help [16:58] poutine: Mark Shuttleworth is a fool [16:58] !kernel | randomparticle [16:58] randomparticle: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [16:58] dustin_, Yeah well I hate to break your "hackers make GNU/Linux, and if you don't like it, you can make your own" bubble, but GNU/Linux distributions are corporations, they're ran by money, not on the sweat of basement hackers [16:58] dmn it, the live cd files are too big to fit on a cd [16:58] alkisg: thanks [16:58] randomparticle: there is directions there, but the last I tried them, they didn't work [16:58] randomparticle: It justs the -j flag just as make would. [16:59] !ot | poutine Nisstyre65 [16:59] poutine Nisstyre65: #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! [16:59] poutine, hmm thats why my ubuntu has a gnome desktop using PLASMA utilities..... wait a minute many say that cant be done [16:59] randomparticle: look for make --concurrent as well. I know that's covered in the manpage [16:59] so many people lol [16:59] ok, thanks [16:59] Hi all, [17:00] poutine, bottom line is that if you dont like something CHANGE IT!! and if you cant change it GET LOST!! [17:00] randomparticle: Debian users' sites have some good guides for kernel-package as well. Just gotta google some. [17:01] Hi All, I need someone to get me started to create a .deb package. I want to use bzr and launchpad. Any suggestion ? [17:01] I doubled the hieght of the task bar so that i could have two rows of windows, but now the icons for wastebasket and show desktop are double sized. is it possible to resize the icons? [17:01] ok, it's an env variable: CONCURRENCY_LEVEL [17:01] have set it to 4. is speeding along now. thanks [17:02] dustin_, it doesn't work like that, I make many patches for projects, bring up many bugs, it gets ignored, and I don't have the money to start a ubuntu-level project like shuttleworth does [17:02] \list [17:02] I'm thinking of going back to Ubuntu. Hm. [17:02] poutine, look at linux puppy as an example of what a SINGLE person can start [17:02] dustin_, puppy linux is horrible [17:02] randomparticle: no problem. [17:02] have you ever used it? [17:03] poutine, if you hate is so much to be a part of this community the I revert back to GET LOST!! [17:03] dustin_, there is no community here, there is shuttleworth and paid employees [17:03] poutine, I use puppy all the time on broken systems for recovery [17:04] fastest fs suggestions? :) [17:04] im not an employee.. [17:04] poutine: troll much? [17:04] randomparticle: for now, ext4 [17:04] hi i keep getting this problem where full gnome/gtk/whatever isn't loaded. all my windows look plain, like they're going through x-forwarding [17:04] Ext4? [17:04] poutine, then what are all of us in this room are we not community helping others to make a better system for themselves?! [17:04] I get "File system is NOT clean" when checking the root file system using "disk utility" (palimpsest). How can I fix the file system? I use Karmic Koala. [17:04] any ideas what causes that? i did a clean install but it came back! [17:04] btrfs is sure to kick some rear-end though [17:04] what i'm using now. was wondering about btrfs [17:05] haven't looked at that one for a while [17:05] randomparticle: I wouldn't use it till it's quite a bit more stable. [17:05] poutine, I exclude you from that grouping as you are not contributing to anything but nonsence [17:05] i gave btrfs a go, the package manager wend dog slow on it [17:05] For the exact reason ron just said. ;) [17:06] looks like i'll be sticking to ext4 then :-) === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [17:06] i swaer it took 3 hours just to install updates by witch time i turned it off and reformatted the day after [17:07] is jfs more secure than ext4 ? [17:07] hi [17:07] lol [17:07] jfs is stale. [17:07] just tes, plz ignore [17:07] my headphones doesn't work [17:07] x404x: what do you mean by 'secure' ? [17:07] I don't think it's been very actively developed in a few years [17:07] less likely to loose data [17:07] if theres a power outage f.ex [17:07] x404x: use ext3 [17:08] i use Intel HDA sound card [17:08] x404x: I recomend Ext3 [17:08] no less than any other x404x [17:08] You guys are quite naive if you think there's an ubuntu community, or anything you do somehow matters to ubuntu or GNU/LInux as a whole. Shuttleworth has made it abundantly clear that ubuntu is not a democracy, and it is not the needs/wants of the users who comes before his personal decisions. I'm curious how you can fool yourself into believing that a hacker can just change things that are broken in a community [17:08] x404x: is jfs journaled? [17:08] yes [17:08] Nisstyre65: YEAH [17:08] then it should be fine [17:08] poutine, go blow bill gates then [17:08] Yea, but so is Ext3 i believe [17:08] yes ext3 is too [17:08] that's what the "j" jfs stands for, Nisstyre65 [17:08] also I just realized what jfs probably stands for [17:08] :D [17:08] heh [17:08] why use ext3 ? isnt 4 an improvement ? [17:08] lol [17:08] JFS means JOURNALED FILE SYSTEM [17:09] If your using SATA [17:09] :) [17:09] poutine, and while your at it turn in your free software irc chat software [17:09] x404x: 4 isn't widely used yet [17:09] therefore more likely to fck up [17:09] poutine: if you don't approve, Debian is that way --> [17:09] Nisstyre65: I wouldn't go that far... [17:09] Might as well switch to Debian Nisstyre65 [17:09] too slow. [17:09] syn-ack: well, there's nothing wrong with ext3 for home systems [17:09] !dont feed the trolls [17:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:10] Still using Ext3 at home and on our work server here [17:10] hi [17:10] Nisstyre65: There's nothing wrong with ext4 either.. [17:10] i am new to ubuntu [17:10] x404x is your file x-fering working yet? [17:10] can anyone guide me plz [17:10] I'm using ext2 ffs and it works fine [17:10] i read blazeback uses only jfs for theyr servers [17:10] dustin_, Actually funny you should mention it, I've submitted 5 bugs to xchat, 3 patches for the bugs, and all of it was ignored or re-coded, not only that, I was banned from their IRC channel for bringing up the bugs. So my local client is my own IRC client now, a fork from xchat, so why would I turn it in? [17:10] adeel_: ask away! [17:10] Nisstyre65: 1992 called. They want their filesystem back. [17:10] where [17:10] here :-) [17:10] no im strill trying to fix the file xfer [17:11] okies i install today this is called lubuntu [17:11] and i want to know how to use this === root is now known as Guest25298 [17:11] randomparticle [17:11] u there [17:11] yes. what in particular are you not sure about? [17:11] ART [17:11] poutine, lets see you denounce open source yet you build on it to perfect it for your own wants/needs..... hmm sounds like you are part of the community you hate so much, I think I wan tyou voted off this island because you are a buzzkill!! [17:12] ART [17:12] well i want to ask can i use msn other than its pidgin [17:12] dustin_, I never once stated anything was wrong with open source, I stated that there is no "community" to be found, you're fooling yourself to think ubuntu is about you and not shuttleworth [17:12] messenger [17:12] Hi, I need to figure out the manufacturer/model of my pci wireless card, how do I do that? [17:12] trainer: lspci [17:12] Are we feeding the trolls again? [17:13] So I can still do a dual boot with the alternate installer, right? [17:13] also I pointed out how ridiculous your "don't like it, go make something else" argument was, I don't think you have any idea how much money it takes to maintain ubuntu [17:13] -57988i3eq2qaqq11 [17:13] Twey, sweet thanks [17:13] I m trying to setup a Bluetooth GPS Receiver with a predefined pin code 0000, but dont know how can i pair with my ubuntu machine [17:14] can anyone help me about it? === geezenslaw1 is now known as geez [17:14] Junaid, you generally need extra software if I remember rightly [17:14] poutine: if you want a community oriented distro then /join #archlinux or /join #gentoo [17:14] any one there [17:14] WARNING: missing /lib/modules/2.6.31-wl [17:14] Device driver support needs thus be built-in linux image! [17:15] can i get a diff of what was installed - uninstalled in last x minutes? [17:15] my ubuntu isnt built by shuttleworth..... maybe the base code....... but not the final product which was built using guides written by people who believe in community and doing the right thing for people not prats who are so self involved that they have to disrupt a room full of people helping others to cite there own asinine views [17:15] Something is very broken on my maverick install .. alt-tab and ahost of other alt+ keypresses no longer register with the window manager... [17:15] Hi all, curious situation: can't install software that require installation of untrusted packages using the software center app. Seems to work OK if I install using apt-get (?) :-D [17:15] And I can no longer suspend (this is on a macbook pro 5,1 [17:15] geez: then use apt-get [17:15] adeel_: you could try "apt-cache search msn" [17:16] in a terminal [17:16] okies [17:16] RetroGamer, Can you suggest any such software? i dont know how can i trigger the pin accept on the device side?? [17:16] adeel_, amsn is the one I use [17:16] and what about the applications [17:16] it suggests "empathy cient" [17:16] So I went through a little bit of the alternate installer progress and now I'm just getting a blank blue screen, for about 5 minutes. Is this normal? [17:16] okies thanks [17:16] all [17:16] Junaid, sadly I cant, its been a couple of years [17:16] dustin_, your ubuntu was completely built by shuttleworth, actual "ubuntu devs" do not make the packages that make your GNU/Linux system work, shuttleworth delegates to them to tweak elements of 3rd party apps to give what he thinks the ubuntu experience is. Also You must never update your system, because ubuntu sure wipes out any customizations I add on a nearly regular basis [17:17] !youtube [17:17] !rip [17:17] For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar [17:17] how this differ to windows [17:17] FATAL: Module eth9k not found. [17:17] does anyone know the name of the cli program that rips youtube audio? [17:17] poutine: sounds like ubuntu is not for you, then. there are plenty of other options. feel free to choose! [17:17] @adeel_: In a nutshell, lots. =) [17:17] poutine, #ubuntu-offtopic, this is the support channel === carsten is now known as coaboa === tacosnstuff is now known as burntoutlamp [17:17] RetroGamer, please stop inviting people [17:17] I will speak where I choose [17:17] who here is that channel moderator please speak up? [17:18] RetroGamer, Based on your experience may i ask what maximum can i get from a bluetooth based GPS Receiver? [17:18] clive.

I'm having difficulty getting access to my shared folders. All I can find on the internet is issues from ubuntu 10.10 to windows (which Im having issues with as well) but all I want to do right now is share folders from one computer with ubuntu 10.10 with another with ubuntustudio 10.10 [17:21] based in co-ordinates [17:22] I can put smb:// [17:22] I want to dual boot my system with Windows 7 (already installed) and I really don't want to wipe out my HDD by making a wrong move. Which should I choose?

[17:22] RetroGamer, ion nvidia of some sort and 3rd party closed drivers are in use [17:22] I can see the folders.. but can't open them.... though they are shared [17:22] starredsteria, whats the issue? [17:22] starredsteria, do the folders have the correct permissions? [17:22] Any third Party software that i can use in combination with this device to use it as a Navigation solution?? [17:22] Retrogamer: yes... I've even tried a few other options [17:23] Junaid, indeed there is, take a look in the software center :) [17:23] RetroGamer: http://tech.mobiletod.com/how-enable-shared-folders-application-ubuntu/ [17:23] ok thanks RetroGamer [17:23] more exactly Card nVidia ION VGA [GeForce 9400M] X.Org 1.7.6 Res: 1366x768@50.0hz [17:23] GLX Renderer ION/PCI/SSE2 GLX Version 3.2.0 NVIDIA 195.36.24 [17:23] and there was another one where I manually installed samba from the terminal and ran 'system-config-samba' [17:23] starredsteria, you could add a FTP server and to the machine with the files you want to share adn an ftp client to the windows computer [17:24] or SSH [17:24] hey question..... if i add an SATA hdd to my system now, wll t automaticall get a drive letter?. i already got two 1TB HDD's in, and i want to add an 320GB ...

" [17:24] dustn_ I don't care about accessing the windows computer right now..... Its 2 computesr both with ubuntu that I'm having an issue with [17:24] VirusTB: linux doesn't use drive letters, you mount it whereever you want in the filesystem tree. [17:25] with 10.04... all I had to do was share them with the permissions, and the folders would show under the 'network' [17:25] starredsteria, pure-ftpd with pureadmin on the machine with the files you want can be a fix all end all solution to both problems [17:25] Habstinat, in any case, if you have some important data, backup 1st [17:25] I'm looking into buying an external hdd soon, will I have to reformat at it for use with Ubuntu? [17:25] SwedeMike: oh ok.... [17:25] hey all.. does anyone know how to find out what driver my wifi card is using? [17:25] starredsteria, use the nautilus networking option , it uses smb to share [17:25] (it will be either a Seagate, or Western Digital if that makes a difference) [17:25] hi guys! [17:26] can i install M$ Office 2011 on ubuntu? [17:26] brontoeee: Already backed up the super important stuff, but still don't want to make a stupid move [17:26] so how does this work then ? if you don't talk pretty about ubuntu you get silenced and banned ? [17:26] starredsteria, pureadmin is the GUI utility for the FTP server and it has an automatic setup ability [17:26] haaaa [17:26] SwedeMike: well i want to add the 320 GB to my system and copy / clone my partitions that hold my dual boot (win 7 and ubuntu 10.10.. so i can have 2TB for media and 320 for OS [17:26] dustin_, and what does that do? I've already installed/uninstalled a bunch of crap that isn't needed... [17:27] Heeeelp please, i can't connect to the Internet with atheros [17:27] starredsteria, it will allow you to share files [17:27] Hello everyone ! [17:27] accross platforms [17:27] without using samba [17:27] VirusTB: moving the system is tricky, both for ubuntu and windows. Unless you know exactly what you're doing, I wouldn't recommend it. [17:27] starredsteria, your other ubuntu system will be able to access this with Gftp to share files back and forth easily [17:27] dustin_. and when you say to set up an FTP... wouldn't that mean I would need to connect via FTP each and every time I want to access the files? [17:27] I can make .tar.xz files but not .7z or .zip file... I don't know how to fix that problem... [17:27] starredsteria, you can set it up like you would a smba share [17:27] starredsteria, yes but the file x-fer of ftp is usualy fast and stable [17:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP [17:27] can i install MS Office 2011 on ubuntu? [17:27] dustin_, I want it to work how it worked before..... really... to see my folders under the 'network' [17:27] pls [17:28] I cant find any good way to tile up my windows in gnome? is there any script for this or does it work with Compiz? thanks :) [17:28] RetroGamer: brontoeee: Got any ideas? [17:28] SwedeMike: well i will clone it ot eh 320. and then format the 1TB hdd, will that still be an issue? or shoul i just do a clean install? i really dont have muhc to loose [17:28] Habstinat, i always did a wrong move in those cases, so no [17:28] LunaVorax: you need the correct applications to make them, eg :zip will make a zip file [17:28] starredsteria, to see them under "network" requires samba shares that are in my experiance hit and miss [17:28] pureadmin says it cannot open display [17:28] ikonia, how can I do that ? [17:29] Habstinat: Guided - resize SCSI2 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sdb) and use freed space" [17:29] LunaVorax: type "zip" and it will give you usage advice [17:29] although make sure you have backed up first! but that should allow to to dual boot [17:29] RetroGamer: Are you absolutely positive? [17:29] VirusTB: I don't know your skill level so I don't have a recommendation. I would just buy a new drive instead, it's not worth the hassle to try to move a system, I don't know windows enough so I wouldn't try. [17:30] ikonia, there's no way I can do that with the GUI ? [17:30] i installed nfs in ububtu 10.04, using command apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap [17:30] how find find version of installed NFS [17:30] even microsoft doesn't ban you for having an opinion [17:30] LunaVorax: I'm not aware of a gui for zip [17:30] x404x, that isnt normal I never had that problem before [17:30] majik: what are you talking about [17:30] binary01: I think it's near the bottom of 'lspci -k' but I'm not positive [17:30] well I would like the folders to show up under 'network' ..... as how it worked before. Not sure why its not working now... should be self explanitory [17:30] ikonia, I meant "File Roller" [17:30] I cant find any good way to tile up my windows in gnome? is there any script for this or does it work with Compiz? thanks :) [17:30] thanks tortoise [17:31] binary01: np [17:31] I don't think TSA IS unionised [17:31] LunaVorax, gnome should be right-clickable, select compress, use zip [17:31] I can understand issues with Windows.. cause well its windows... but I'm just trying to access folders from one ubuntu comp to another [17:31] Habstinat, can never be absolutly positive but it is what worked for me, as long as you have everything backed up you cannot go wrong [17:31] LunaVorax: I have no idea if that has gui support for zip, sorry [17:31] starredsteria, ssh is the easy way [17:31] starredsteria, I had samba shares about 2 years ago and they gave me such a headache trying to keep them working a ended up smashing a router..... [17:32] starredsteria, maybe someone else has had luck with sambas but not me sorry [17:32] dustin_, I don't even think I had samba on before (unless it was isntalled default) with 10.04.. all I had to do was share the folder.. it installed the drivers.. and worked! [17:32] ikonia, problem solved, it was a permission access to the folder issue [17:32] Sorry for my basd [17:32] bad [17:32] LunaVorax: ahhh well done, I didn't know if it had support, so it's good to know [17:32] LunaVorax: no need for apologies, I didn't know myself [17:32] starredsteria, thats what it means when you select "share this folder" [17:33] starredsteria, ssh is the safest and easiest way to share files [17:33] when i type cd media, it shows "no such file or directpry" [17:33] Any Ubuntu 10.04 and APTonCD users here that can verify if there APTonCD created repo disks are now working and the system actually installs packages from the disk? [17:33] dustin_, well I've "shared this folder" on both comps.... with 10.04... it would show under network, and I would be able to click on it, type in my password, and access the files....

Please note that the resize operation may take a long time. Write previous changes to disk and continue?"

The first file works, but any subsequent attempts fail. I now have this icon stuck in my panel: http://yfrog.com/n9screenshot13wip [17:40] starredsteria, you can always install the 10.10 webcam packages onto 10.04 [17:40] dustin_, I've already installed 10.10 3 times now... [17:40] I'm not going to do another fresh install.... [17:40] starredsteria, sorry to here that [17:40] I've been at my computer trying to sort this stuff since last sunday [17:41] starredsteria, using a terminal before you try anything else you should use: apt-get install clean [17:41] sudo in front of that of course [17:41] what does 'apt-get install clean' do? [17:41] Anyone? Just want to hear a second opinion on this: Habstinat: "Guided - resize SCSI2 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sdb) and use freed space" is the choice I want to choose if I want to dual boot?

[17:42] What port should I tell transmission to use? Everything I try reports "port is closed" I know for a fact that port 22 is not closed because I use it for ssh all the time.

[17:44] I use ubuntu 10.10 and mousetrap doesn't want to work: it opens then closes itself very fast, please help [17:44] Plimmer: It usually takes me 45 minnutes to format a 160 gb partition... so unfortunately no. [17:44] Plimmer, are you doing a manual partitioning, like /, /home, swap ? or? [17:44] rallias: usermod perhaps? [17:45] Plimmer: If you are a true geek, the gentoo installation manual has a good guide on how to do it faster... [17:45] brontoeee: No, just adding another drive to my system [17:45] help? [17:45] rallias: Whenever someone says gentoo to me, I shy away. :) [17:45] Plimmer, what are you trying to do with this drive? [17:46] Plimmer: The gentoo handbook is VERY detailed in this subject, they don't want people messing this part up. [17:46] dustin_: Just adding some more space. [17:46] I use ubuntu 10.10 and mousetrap doesn't want to work: it opens then closes itself very fast, please help [17:46] dustin_: I have a boot drive, and 2 storage drives [17:46] Plimmer: The partitioning section is the only noob-worthy part of the gentoo handbook [17:46] rallias: Ah, might have to check that out then. [17:46] wassgha, open it from the terminal and see what errors come up [17:47] Plimmer: I think its chapter 3.

[18:02] LostHorizons: ubuntu is fine [18:03] this is the easiest one to install in my machine? [18:03] Correct. Ubuntu 10.10 works out of the box. [18:03] LostHorizons: no real difference, but ubuntu is a fine choice [18:03] btw do you guys know of any voice control program for linux? been playing with the thought to setup some startrekish way of controlling stuff around my home [18:03] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 [18:03] ok cool [18:03] and its not booting [18:04] would i be better downloading the desktop or netbook version?

[18:05] All I see is a blinking curdor [18:05] no ubuntu loading [18:05] and I just installed it and it told me to restarts [18:05] maco, oh ok.. dang.. thanks bro :) [18:05] restart [18:05] Heh, xbindkeys...I'll have to test that out. [18:06] Habstinat: Since really all you need is / and swap. On my system, I usually choose to have a separate mount point for /home, in case of OS reload my personal documents remain intact. It all comes down to personal preference. [18:06] I've got a process called master listening on port 25, how do I find out what this process does, what program is it associated with?

I got it to boot after unplugging my DVD drive. [18:08] dominis... so your not able to use your dvd drive [18:08] Sterm: Yeah. [18:08] Sterm: I had a similar issue going from 9.10 to 10.04 I beleve. When was it they switched to GRUB2 and we were all having that issue? [18:09] so how do you get it to work then [18:09] gidimanunaki: that was when [18:09] your with no cd drive?? [18:10] Sterm: Well, back then, we just had to re-install GRUB2 at the prompt. There was a forums post detailing the how-to. [18:10] After that, it booted normally. [18:10] well I get nothing on the screen [18:10] gidimanunaki, I believe grub2 started with 10.04 if I am not mistaken [18:10] it only shows a blinking cursoer [18:10] I cant even get into anything without a live cd [18:11] Sterm: I recently installed it with the DVD drive but it wouldn't boot after the install. I'm new to linux so I looked at the recovery output it froze on something about the DVD drive so I unplugged it. === VirusTB_ is now known as VirusTB [18:11] dominis I ee [18:11] Sterm: That does not sound good.

[18:11] see [18:11] I think I am going to do that nw [18:11] now [18:11] Im installing it on a external usb hardrvie [18:12] This is my third install with the same issue [18:12] Sterm: At school, I'm the Linux guru, which isn't saying much with how MS-centered my school is, but I recently installed 10.10 to a classmate's laptop from my bootable flash. I left him alone, big mistake, he took the flash out too early in the install process, and ended up with a problem like you're having now. [18:12] in ubuntu how can i get a icon to "create a new folder" when browsing my Harddrive? ??? My Mac OSX does this... it is also in Ubuntu? [18:12] hi. i am trying to install lubuntu on an old laptop but when it gets to "allocate drive space" part, there's nothing listed in the window so i cant choose where to install. can anyone help? [18:12] well I did not do anything [18:13] I just installed the ubuntu and it asked to restart [18:13] but it never did [18:13] :( [18:13] When using apt-cache search - does that go through all of the sources I have set up? (still a little new to apt) [18:13] Sterm: Understandable. So, have you checked the CD for defects? [18:13] greezmunkey: yes. [18:13] well I am doing a reinstall [18:13] SwedeMike: thanks [18:14] ubuntu looks darn nice [18:14] Sterm: did u change your BiOS to boot fro USB devices forst? [18:14] Sterm: If the issue happens again, maybe the installation medium is defective. It has been known to happen now and then. And yes, it is very nice. :) [18:14] yes virustb [18:14] hi everyone [18:15] You can even make it look like XP [18:15] VirusTB, i dont think so, no icon like that in nautilus [18:15] with the theme [18:15] or windows 95 [18:15] I'm having the same issue as Sterm but I've tried USB and DVD installs with no change [18:15] brontoeee: so i guess i gotta learn the keyboard shortvut :( [18:16] whom should i poke in case i wanted to put in a request that wiki.ubuntu.com should upgrade to the latest moin version? [18:16] Sterm: I saw a theme that made a fresh Ubuntu install look like Win7. I, however, could never manage to get it to work. :) [18:16] VirusTB, its ctrl shift n i think [18:16] oh man [18:16] that would be cool [18:16] where do you get these themes [18:16] brontoeee: yea, its under the File menue.... but i was looking for a simple alternative [18:16] I'll dig up the link. [18:17] Sterm: gnome-look probably [18:17] hi, how can i reset the original repositories in maverick 10.10. Or does someone have a copy? [18:17] I've got a process called master listening on port 25, how do I find out what this process does, what program is it associated with? [18:17] Sterm: http://linuxtrends.com/making-ubuntu-look-like-windows-7/ [18:17] thanks buddy ;) [18:17] even i had seen the same theme when i just googled "ubuntu themes". [18:17] Win7 [18:17] VirusTB, i know exactly what you were looking for (i'am also occasional osx user) [18:18] hi. how does smooth will ubuntu 10.10 run on an intel celeron M 1.5 ghz/512 mb ram laptop? [18:18] brontoeee: think i'll post it in the forums [18:18] hblount, fine [18:18] hblount: Should run pretty smooth. [18:18] hblount: what's your graphics card? [18:18] hi, how can i reset the original repositories in maverick 10.10. Or does someone have a copy? [18:18] hblount: okay, but i reccommend switching gnome to something lighter [18:18] nothing. built in graphics [18:18] !sources [18:18] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[18:19] Why can ti see my controls for VLC? when i double click a video file, it ipen isn XVideo output? i cant see the other control, just the video??? [18:20] whom should i poke in case i wanted to put in a request that wiki.ubuntu.com should upgrade to the latest moin version? [18:21] hblount, lacking in what way?

[18:32] Habstinat: what are you doing ? [18:32] i mean, id like to add the following command: udisks --mount /dev/fd0 to the boot [18:32] because i want the floppy to be mounted when boot [18:32] Romeo5k: use nano ..... not really a solution :) [18:32] dakai, look for startup applications in system menu [18:33] ikonia: Installing a dual boot of Ubuntu 10.10 x64 with Windows using the alternate installer. [18:33] azeerrty: if you are using Gnome, then you can install Gadmin-Rsync as a GUI front-end to rsync, makes it a lot easier... [18:33] no i want to unde [18:33] rs [18:33] i want to use cli [18:33] rigved, rsync on windows? [18:33] Habstinat: the only reason there wouldn't be a kernel that you could install to find is that a.) your CD is corrupt b.) your using an unsupported architechture [18:33] okay [18:34] how do i make ubuntu mount /dev/md0 and start remote administration on startup ? [18:34] well what is the path if the doc is in windows "desktop" ? [18:34] azeerrty: ok. use rsync only then. it a CLI based version which come installed by default in ubuntu [18:34] x404x: add to fstab [18:34] liquidmason, thanks i think it's gonna work :) [18:34] how do I set/change the screen that is shown while the system is booting? [18:34] azeerrty: C:\WINDOWS\Users\azeerrty\Desktop [18:34] ok thank you very much [18:35] bye guys. thanks!

[18:36] Romeo5k: ahhhh that's never going to work [18:36] Romeo5k: gedit is a graphical app [18:36] oh yea? [18:36] Romeo5k: are you on a windows host ? [18:36] ohhhh [18:36] Romeo5k, windows -> linux? gedit wont work like that [18:37] no [18:37] its a linux server [18:37] linux host [18:37] Romeo5k: show me the output of "id" and uname -a [18:37] Its basically a VPS [18:37] Romeo5k: show me the output of "id" and uname -a [18:37] Romeo5k: how are you connected to the VPS ? [18:37] ikonia: Downloaded the alternate installer for 10.10 x64 from ubuntu.com, then used Startup Disk Utility to install it to the flash drive. [18:37] i connvet via Putty or SCP or NXclient [18:38] Romeo5k: connect from where - a windows PC ? [18:38] yes [18:38] I have a question, If you use windows but have a external hardrive with ubuntu, can viruses etc attack the linux software on the external hardrive?? [18:38] winbox [18:38] Romeo5k: ok - so that's never going to work [18:38] Romeo5k: you can't use Linux graphical apps on a windows host [18:38] oh ok [18:38] ahh [18:38] ok [18:38] didnt know that [18:39] Sterm: the viruses can over write the linux software [18:39] ty ikonia [18:39] Sterm: if the windows allows it [18:39] Sterm, depends on filesystem and the windows ability to see or not to see that disk [18:39] you can if you run an X server on windows [18:39] Sterm: generally windows won't see your ext3 or ext4 filesystems [18:39] hi. what does it mean if i am trying to install ubuntu with usb startup disk and i am on the part "Allocate drive space" and there is nothing listed for me to choose to install linux [18:39] every time ubuntu starts it wants me to type in password to unlock keyring, how can i turn that off ? [18:39] Hey folks. I made a dumb mistake trying to get shake to run. I overwrite libx11 on my 64but machine with the 32 bit version. The old one is still there, but the sym link is pointed to the wrong one. [18:39] because its on a external usb hardrive [18:39] and the windows is on the internal hardrive [18:39] the ain on [18:40] ewmain [18:40] main,lol [18:40] Sterm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:40] Sterm: there's a project that allows it to read ext2. [18:40] Anyone had any success installing office 2010 on ubuntu? [18:40] that alloaws windows to read it? [18:40] spivwaq: check the wine appdb. I don't think 2010 works but 2003 I know works. Could just use openoffice [18:40] does unity replace gnome in netbook edition or is there no difference if you install unity and log in with it? [18:41] Sterm: ext2 only, yes [18:41] thats not a good thing then right? [18:41] x404x, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/01/16/reset-gnome-keyring-password-on-ubuntu/ [18:41] How do you change a sym link's location that its pointing to? [18:41] Sterm: its ext3 without the journal [18:41] In terminal [18:41] darn, that sucks [18:41] robertzaccour: unity is the standard in NBR but you can replace it with gnome [18:41] WACOMalt-mobile: delete the link and remake it would be my method [18:41] Ok [18:42] ikonia: So what should I choose? [18:42] I didn't think windows could read the linux installation [18:42] robertzaccour: unity is a application above gnome, think of it as a 'easy' layer on top of gnome [18:42] Sterm: normally it cannot unless the linux is on fat32 [18:42] jiohdi, so standard unity edition for netbooks doesn't have gnome? [18:42] Sterm, in most cases they will not [18:42] thanx liquidmeson [18:42] aeon-ltd, does it require gnome? [18:42] Well it created its own partition [18:42] Sterm: yep, funny how linux can read and write to proprietary ntfs but microsoft are ignorant enough to ignore ext4 support despite the definitions of the filesystem being fully available [18:42] x404x, hope that works [18:42] robertzaccour: I think you have to download it separate [18:43] robertzaccour: I choose either & it's ok. You get a 'normal' desktop under 'non-unity' login and get unity under UNE login [18:43] lol [18:43] agreed actionparshi [18:43] Habstinat: it looks like the install media is not made correctly, it should see that kernel fine [18:43] oh ok thanks [18:43] Sterm: its entirely microsofts fault. You could pressure them to support it [18:43] Could nayone help me get my eth0 device working? I'm kinda new to linux and due to some reason my eth0 don't work. It don't automaticly detect my network as I havn't managed to get it to work with manual settings, and it say "device not managed". [18:43] Habstinat: Still having issues? [18:43] ActionParsnip, why? so that win viruses would work better ? :) [18:43] gidimanunaki: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42379613@N04/5175780124 [18:44] Robert_Zenz: i'd assume so [18:44] JoppeLapt: if you run: lshw -C network ,you can see the chip and find guides [18:44] JoppeLapt: I have to ask. Did you activate it yet? Some boot up in the off position. [18:44] joppelapt, has it worked before with other operating systems? [18:44] brontoeee: win viruses don't affect linux [18:44] Robert_Zenz: sorry wrong person [18:44] JoppeLapt: do you haev a static ip? [18:44] have* [18:44] hi. what does it mean if i am trying to install ubuntu with usb startup disk and i am on the part "Allocate drive space" and there is nothing listed for me to choose to install linux [18:44] I have been running a server on it for the last 3 months, but about an hour ago when I moved it it have stopped working [18:45] ActionParsnip, they could affect file system, its possible to run viruses under wine i think, no? [18:45] yes, it got a static for my router [18:45] ikonia: Hm. Didn't get any errors when writing to the USB. Say I continued without a kernel, could one of you walk me through installing one, or would that be too complicated? [18:45] from* [18:45] hblount: did you md5 test the iso you transferred to the usb? [18:45] Brontoeee I heard that as well [18:45] ActionParsnip: yeah [18:45] wine is dangerous [18:45] brontoeee: sure but it won't bring ubuntu to its knees and would be easy to clean [18:45] joppelapt, by moved you mean? replugged the server in somewhere else? [18:46] Habstinat: that would be a very hard task as your system would not boot without a kernel [18:46] ActionParsnip, right [18:46] hblount: ok then I suggest you test your ram and check the usb consistancy [18:46] Sterm, how is it dangerous? [18:46] is the same network, using it as a replacement for my desktop since that one crashed about an hour ago [18:46] JoppeLapt: Try editing /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and change ifupdown to true [18:46] Vodka is dangerous. :) Wine is tasty [18:46] RetroGamer: I thought that [18:46] Okay, has anyone had any success running Unity with a GMA500 graphics chipset? [18:47] retrogamer, thats what I have heard [18:47] Sterm, its all contained...if it does get a virus you just blast it [18:47] i 'test' out viruses in wine. to see what they do and where malware puts stuff.. [18:47] probably since wine is granting permission windows apps to merge [18:47] Habstinat: The boot medium? Sorry, helping prepare dinner. I'll be away for a few. [18:47] do I need to reboot after? [18:47] JoppeLapt: yes [18:47] hey im trying to figure out this queing thingie for the linux kernel /sys/classes/net//queues/rx- it spreads network load across your cpu's i dont know if its automatic or if i have to configure it manualy [18:48] im using ubuntu [18:48] retrogamer, does ubuntu have any anti-virus [18:48] ActionParsnip, you are an intelligent lad [18:48] hey im trying to figure out this queing thingie for the linux kernel /sys/classes/net//queues/rx- it spreads network load across your cpu's i dont know if its automatic or if i have to configure it manualy [18:48] Sterm, does it need any antivirus? [18:48] Sterm: the av apps for linux normally are fr scanning windows files :) [18:48] lol chkrootkit gives alot of false positives too Sterm [18:48] Sterm: sure but the only thing affected would be $HOME/.wine so is very isolated and easy to clean [18:48] :) cool [18:49] ikonia: So which option should I choose? [18:49] Hellz_Bellz: not heard of it, sorry duder [18:49] anyone else getting slow framerates and high CPU usage with webM youtube videos? [18:49] привет всем русскоязычным. если такие есть.

[18:50] Sterm: I guess, once you work out the virus you can simply navigate to the files and delete or clean using clamav etc.. [18:50] ikonia: I have to leave my computer but I can still talk with you because I'm chatting from my phone. [18:50] who writes viruses and wy?lol [18:50] Habstinat: I'd check the media [18:50] why [18:50] hi all, I have installed both kubuntu-desktop and gnome-desktop, but under KDE environement, gtk applications now make noise, how can I turn it off (under gnome, they don't make noise , and the option in the audio settings is indeed off) [18:50] Sterm: who knows [18:51] Habstinat: that is the most reasonable thing I can think of as to why the kernel is not visible [18:51] zig: can you expand on "noise"? [18:51] Sterm: russian mafia. so they can have zombie mail spammer machines... [18:51] hi all [18:51] ActionParsnip, sound notification , when closing window or popup for example [18:51] russian mafia has the skill to make viruses?? [18:51] zig: like via the soundchip?

[18:53] ok thanks ActionParsnip , I'll try , but I already turned off an option in the audio settings under gnome, but the problem is that it's not taken into account once I am under kde [18:53] Sterm: You're going to have to make a new installation medium. Sorry. [18:53] I have no idea gidi [18:54] aeon-ltd: Well, I do have one, I did try, it didn't work. [18:54] does that mean CD? [18:54] It's the next best step.

[18:57] zig: it's not used anymore unless you add specific content [18:57] ok [18:57] zig, xorg.conf no longer exists unless you specify it. [18:57] Hey folks. anyone with TiMidity++ experience willing to help me figure out why it cant start anymore on my computer? [18:57] aeon-ltd, yes. [18:57] It did. It doesnt get used anymore out of the. It's now handled by DBUS [18:57] hblount: So it's not installed in BIOS? Have you tried configuring it there manually? [18:57] that was to you, zi [18:57] zig too [18:57] hi all... I've been googling this for some time and found various bits of information but nothing particularly useful. I have a netbook here (eMachines eM350) and I'm trying to work out how to get it to resume from standby on lid open, insta [18:57] ea [18:57] k st [18:57] I set up the poulsbo drivers. [18:57] hblount: say again? be less wordy ok? [18:57] instead of when I press a key [18:57] normally, under KDE, one can login several users at the same time, it will launch a new X server, but it doesn't seem to work in 10.04 on eeepc [18:58] gidimanunaki: it was fine until today...how do u setup manually [18:58] BonSequitur: and what happens when you try? [18:58] is that a known issue ? [18:58] hblount: Just checking in the BIOS, see if you can get it to recognize. [18:58] aeon-ltd: Exactly as is described in the bug report, i..e, I mouse cursor, but the interface doesn't render properly. [18:58] hblount: Usually there are automatic settings and manual settings. try to get it to detect. [18:59] brontoeee thanks didn't see that, i always tried aquireimages, which does not work [18:59] BonSequitur: running compiz at the same time? [18:59] gidimanunaki: k. ill look now [18:59] does anyone remember the name of a terminal frame app that showed the cpu temp an info at the bottom of the terminal i belive it got released in karmic [18:59] timidity wont start on my ubuntustudio 10.10 machine [18:59] hblount: We'll be here. :) [18:59] what's the default windows manager for gnome? === lost is now known as Guest99158 [18:59] there is a video which requires me to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad. should i install it? what the does the "bad" in the name mean? [18:59] in 10.04* [18:59] metacity tortoise [18:59] thanks [18:59] gidimanunaki: i thought bios settings as well, but maybe he actually did something while running the live cd [18:59] Torianna: metacity [18:59] aeon-ltd, I'm not really sure. I started Unity by ending my session (I was in a desktop session, like I am now) and switching to the netbook session. [18:59] I miss SawFish though [19:00] can someone help me with configure kismet on acer aspire one d260 [19:00] cache_surplus: Also possible. We'll see where we end up. [19:00] Having a problem with mouse and keyboard activity... Started this morning, mouse will move around the screen, but the position of the pointer is not recognized (like panel will not unhide on mouseover), clicks don't work either during this time. Keyboard also doing anything, but at different time from the mouse. Everything is ok if I boot in low graphics mode. [19:00] rigved: better install ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:00] rigved: patent encunbered [19:00] rigved: patent encumbered [19:00] xangua: I see a lot of talk about compiz, do people usually trade metacity for compiz? [19:00] tried uninstalling and reinstalling vid drivers, still same problem... started all of a sudden this morning [19:00] erUSUL: ok. thanx for help [19:00] tortoise: yes. [19:00] Is wiriting a new partition table with parted in order to recover unavailable partitions very risky in terms of data loss? [19:00] tortoise: everytime you enable effects you use compiz [19:00] DarsVaeda: brontoeee hae a look athttp://bobthegnome.blogspot.com/2010/11/using-latest-sane-drivers-in-ubuntu.html WARNING I have not tried this myself & it is NOT standard repo package. Have a look & be a guinea pig? [19:01] TristPM: Yes. [19:01] tortoise: If you want compositing and 3d, yes. [19:01] f~TristPM depends on how well you know the cli [19:01] help [19:01] f~TristPM might wanna try gparted [19:01] BonSequitur: the only ideas i can think of is toggleing compiz/or any compositing on or off, or resorting to tinkering with kms & other gpu affecting options [19:01] Okay, thanks guys. [19:01] TristPM: tried testdisk or gpart ( no gparted ) to recover the partition table? [19:01] yes, i tried testdisk, and it identified the aprtitions [19:02] also tried uninstalling compiz, didn't fix it [19:02] only, they are hfs and it cannot write to them [19:02] hi [19:02] leequarella: would be enought to 'disable' it. not uninstall it. [19:02] Ouch. === Habstinat_ is now known as Habstinat [19:02] Ok, I did what you told me about changing the variable form false to true about the "managed" of eth0 === tx11 is now known as tux11 [19:02] but now it keeps disconnecting from the network [19:02] hi all [19:02] any one know of god yahoo chat im than can transfer fails with up messing up ??? [19:03] get a mac [19:03] \lol [19:03] Dr_willis: I could try, but I figured uninstalling should at least tell me if that was the issue and then I could reinstall and tweak from there. But uninstalling it had no effect [19:03] aeon-ltd: Well, this seems to be a known bug in Unity. [19:03] stay awya form unity [19:03] would anyone know why i would be getting sound from other computers on MY computer...lucid lynx with pulse audio..i select the server from my computer to use the server from my computer and i still get sound from the other computers on my local lan...any takers? [19:03] unity is gonna kill ubuntu [19:04] BonSequitur: then the only true solution is to wait [19:04] look for good im app for ubuntu [19:04] erUSUL: would gpart be more useful? [19:04] weird thing is that I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary... just working in radrails and it started all of a sudden [19:04] TristPM: testdisk and gpart are used to recover lost partitions or corrupted partitions tables; is that your problem? [19:04] is rails a devlopment app ? [19:04] aeon-ltd: Yeah, I kind of expected that re: Unity. [19:05] As an alternative, Is there any way I can get the old netbook-adapted Gnome desktop that shipped with 10.4 in Maverick? [19:05] erUSUL: yes, thats right [19:05] looking for good chat app that supports file xfer [19:05] torrents maybe [19:05] tux11 try pidgin? [19:05] or google it [19:05] TristPM: then try testdisk ( is easier to use than gpart ) [19:05] JoppeLap_: I honestly don't know what to do after that. [19:05] by the way Unity is primarily built for maverick (10.10) [19:05] not working [19:05] pidgin isn't working for me [19:05] Hi all can anyone help me how to enable dmix plugin in lucid 10.04.... [19:05] TristPM: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step [19:05] fix it? [19:06] JoppeLap_: It should have created a new wired connection called ifupdown (or something like that), are you connecting to that or auto eth0? [19:06] sound slike unity sucks [19:06] are there any curses based disk partition table manipulators for Ubuntu? cfdisk complains "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder" for a completely working disk [19:06] erUSUL: I already have, and I've loacted the partitions, but now I need to manually write them using parted, and Im afraid of losing data [19:06] dr_willis any other ideas? [19:06] I am having an issue on Ubuntu Studio 10.10. TiMidity wont start. and I have no idea where to start troubleshooting the issue. It only worked the first two or 3 times I booted up, but I dont think I changed anything [19:06] as already said try testdisk. it does wonders sometimes [19:06] leequarella: Not sure what your opriginal problem even was. [19:06] TristPM: testdisk should be able to writte the partition table it recovers ( and so does gpart ) .... [19:07] WACOMalt: run it from a terminal. look for error messages [19:07] hi again [19:07] Regardless. [19:07] Dr_Willis: will do. Now to find the command [19:07] erUSUL: the partitions are hfs and hfs+ [19:07] i'm using Wifi usb adapter [19:07] liquidmeson i want to use different passwords for my keyring and login, since my loging is only accessible locally and i use it all the time its a short password, but my keyring /remote login is a much longer secure password, that fix seems to only work if the login and keyring pass is the same. if i change the login pass then i need to make ubuntu stop nagging for it every time i change a setting [19:07] dr_willis mouse and keyboard intermittently responding. they work fine in low graphics mode. tried reinstalling graphics driver to no avail. started out of the blue this morning [19:07] but my atheros internal card wifi doesn't work [19:07] Ok, thanks for you help. I am connected to wireless atm, but want the wired (eth0) to work, since the wireless connection is abit unstable [19:08] @TristPM if partition is not so big try backing up first. recovery in linux is not so easy [19:08] i've just compiled ath9k moduleç === root is now known as Guest21850 [19:08] JoppeLap_: I had the same problem, but I still haven't found a fix. Good luck. [19:08] can i turn off the keyring and not use it for remote login ? [19:09] erUSUL: that's also a problem, I the only disk I have large enough to backup to is in my ubuntu machine, and the partitions are only visible in osx [19:09] I really don't want to have to reformat :-( [19:09] erUSUL: Disk utility sees the partition table as apple, but parted lists it as msdos, which is also confusing [19:10] ok, thanks for your help. [19:10] I actually have a thread about this issue, maybe the extra details can help : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620667 [19:10] JoppeLap_: np [19:10] TristPM: msdos is the type of the partition table of a pc. [19:11] erUSUL: right, thats why I fiind it unusual that parted lists this on an hfs drive [19:12] dr_willis it really weird considering I was just running normal apps when it started. I was litterally in the middle of writing a line, went to click my browser for a refresh and the mouse and keyboard said no :-\ [19:12] I have this trouble --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1286503 [19:12] gidimanunaki: u still there? bios was set on auto for primary master, but that resulted in "None" showing under primary master. so i manually chose hard drive for primary master, but when i save and exited from bios, it went back to "None" [19:12] TristPM: the 'partition table' is how the partitions are laid out. Most os's use the 'dos partition table format' thats Not saying the filesysmtes are dos... [19:12] TristPM: Mac's may use the same partition table format for external disk; there is nothing worng about it. [19:13] hi [19:13] hblount: I'm still here. Hmm. [19:13] TristPM: i think theres 1 or 2 other alternatives to 'partition tables' format.. but i cant even rember the others [19:13] hi [19:13] hmm, found "no-auto-default=[mac:address]" in the same file where you pointed me to change the variable could this be the problem maybe? Are trying to find something on google about it... [19:13] erUSUL: DR_Willis:ok, but disk utility on the mac says the table is appls [19:13] TristPM: perhaps ask in the apple channels. i dont do apple. :) [19:14] hello [19:14] how are you [19:14] JoppeLap_: One second, let me go look at it. [19:14] !ask | MonkeyGorilla [19:14] MonkeyGorilla: 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. :-) [19:14] how do i install to fat32? [19:14] i had an idea for improving ubuntu and other distros [19:14] GP40MC: install what to fat32? [19:14] ubuntu [19:14] !brainstorm | MonkeyGorilla [19:14] MonkeyGorilla: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [19:15] GP40MC: - short answer. you dont. [19:15] A uniform API [19:15] gidimanunaki: i noticed when i choose "Hard Disk" instead of "auto", specs are wrong. it saids 0 cylinders,1 heads,0 sectors, etc. dont know if that helps [19:15] GP40MC: linux wants its own partitions and filesystems. [19:15] I m looking for a game like Team Buddies (video), with online multiplayer mode for ubuntu.. possibly open-source.Anyone know something similar? [19:15] Dr_willis: there are more details about my issue here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620667 [19:15] yeah a fat32 parition [19:15] that is a interface to whatever underlying libraries the distro decide to use [19:15] TristPM: well; as things stand you will have to decide if you trust testdisk and parted to do the right thing ... [19:15] it sounds good ? [19:15] hblount: A little bit. That sounds just like it's not recognizing the drive. Now, how to fix that... [19:15] GP40MC: ubuntu will want a linux filesystem like ext2/3/4/btrfs or perhaps a few others... [19:16] hi [19:16] uua aaaa uaua auaaa aaaa [19:16] like jfs reiser? [19:16] uuuuuaaaa [19:16] is it possible to make the kernel use a library which i have created? [19:16] hblount: make sure the drive is set to master or slave if it is PATA. Linux doesn't like cable select. [19:16] does the kernel use librarys? ive never noticed... [19:17] is btrfs stable? [19:17] erUSUL: yeah... I'll try and figure out some way to make a backup.. but should I use the partition table msdos or mac? [19:17] hi installed 10.10 on a laptop and my mouse cursor "blinks on block" on mouse cursor position [19:17] Dr_Willis: it likes a read :) [19:17] hi, I need help recovering my files from an old ubuntu installation. I have an ecryptfs encrypted home directory, and I backed up my files but I don't know the ecryptfs key. I know the password to login to my account. How can I get my files back? [19:17] GP40MC: supposed to be in a decent state i hear.. i dont use it. [19:17] ubuntunoob: use your backups [19:17] TristPM: i woill use msdos. is the most compatible format [19:17] oh wtf [19:17] help [19:17] Hello anyone know how to enable dmix plugin in ubuntu 10.04. Please help me [19:17] i can't get this stupid popup to go away [19:17] uaaaaaa uaaaaaa [19:17] from the gnome monitor settings [19:17] ActionParsnip: the backup is encrypted using ecryptfs... [19:17] im a monkeeeey! [19:18] I only have a .cache , .Private, and .ecryptfs file. [19:18] ubuntunoob: ok having a backup is good. [19:18] i installed 10.10 on a laptop and my mouse cursor "blinks on block" on mouse cursor position. [19:18] its a laptop [19:18] erUSUL: but the partitions are hfs, shouldn't I use a matching format to recover them? [19:18] I can't get the files out of the backup :( [19:18] Dr_Willis: i have made some custom scripts and i want to incorporate them directly into the kernel (at kernel level) so that there is no need to modify applications [19:18] HEY [19:18] Is there a way to get the pre-Unity Ubuntu netbook edition applets on Maverick? [19:18] are there any curses based disk partition table manipulators for Ubuntu like cfdisk? cfdisk is broken. [19:18] Basically, I backed up the encrypted files, not the key to get them, and I can't get to my files :( [19:18] how i can disable nouveau on a wubi install [19:18] rigved: scripts IN the kernel? Hmm... that seems even weirder then it using Libraries... [19:19] TristPM: again; the format of the partition table has nothing to do with the format of the filesystems within the individual partitions [19:19] it prevents me from installing [19:19] I need to restore my mount passphrase. Is there a way to do this? [19:19] MonkeyGorilla: i use the 'nomodeset' option for my Nvidia systems [19:19] JoppeLap_: Go to System>Preferences>Network connections. What wired connections do you have listed? [19:19] ok [19:19] ubuntunoob: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-mounting-your-encrypted-home-from-livecd/ [19:19] I already installed a new copy of Ubuntu, so I only have the backed up files :( [19:20] wouldn.t it be a good idea to disable it by default [19:20] do someone can help me? [19:20] Auto eth0 [19:20] aoss /cw [19:20] ubuntunoob: this is why encrypted filesystems suck and I personally don't advise them. Too much heartache and effort [19:20] !ask administrador [19:20] Dr_Willis: ok. i'll read up kernel programming. just wanted to check if my ideas make any sense. i want to make changes at the kernel level so that i do not need to modify each and every application. [19:20] i installed 10.10 on a laptop and my mouse cursor "blinks on block" on mouse cursor position. [19:20] cw [19:20] erUSUL: oh, but shouldn't I use the same type table as the original im trying to fix? [19:20] administrador: what is "blinks on block"? [19:20] with "last used: never" ... probably due to me editing something I should not have done... [19:21] Is this fixable? [19:21] JoppeLap_: wait, I didn't see your message before that (had some issues on my own connection) [19:21] because many people dont know what is grub and nouveau , specially those using grub , so they asumme the install is broken / it wont intall in their machines [19:21] ubuntunoob: sure, use the link I gave [19:21] Auto eth0; with "last used: never" ... probably due to me editing something I should not have done... [19:21] TristPM: yes; you should. parted says the PT is msdos; doesn't it? [19:21] one rectangle with pink lines [19:21] JoppeLap_: highlight it and click edit [19:22] a rectangle with pink lines [19:22] JoppeLap_: go to ipv4 settings and tell me what you have in there === alberto__ is now known as sapiens__ [19:22] I can't use su to become my username because I installed a new copy of Ubuntu [19:22] automatic (DHCP) [19:22] I just need to unencrypt this data... [19:22] erUSUL: yes, but disk utility, on the mac which still recognizes the partitions, says the table is the Apple table [19:22] administrador: hmm, what video chip are you using? Are you fully updated? [19:22] all other fields are gray or empty [19:23] JoppeLap_: Did you change that to Manual before it gave you the error "Device not managed"? [19:23] yes, i had update my distro 1 hour ago [19:23] ubuntunoob: then make your username so you can su to it [19:23] how i can see my video chip model? [19:23] Dr_Willis: ok. then maybe i can run scripts so that every task that needs to be executed will go through them before being handed over to the kernel. i want add certain functionality to my ubuntu. [19:24] administrador: please type my nick ontext addressed to me, use TAB to autocomplete [19:24] Dr_Willis: is this possible? [19:24] administrador: lspci | grep -i vga ,will show it [19:24] ActionParsnip: You don't get it, I don't have my old installation, just the encrypted files from my old home directory, I am logged in as my new username. [19:25] ubuntunoob: then make a username the same as your old username and you should be ok, surely? [19:25] ActionParsnip: ministrador@coritiba01:~$ lspci | grep -i vga [19:25] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] (rev 01) [19:25] erUSUL: testdisk also used the mac table [19:25] it is the same as my old username, but I don't have my old mount passphrase. [19:25] administrador: oh boy those things are all sorts of fun :( [19:25] >Yes I did, I edited it when the eth0 did not show up in the ifconfig (did show in ifconfig -a) [19:26] administrador: basically they suck but if you specify the x server in xorg.conf (you can use that output to find guides) you may get a better display [19:26] Then I (after some searching) added "eth0" and "eth0 ........ dhcp" in /etc/network/interfaces [19:27] * waot explodes! [19:27] JoppeLap_: I don't really know what to do after that :/ [19:27] hi? [19:27] any solution for my atheros problem? [19:27] been thinking of maybe just reinstall it, but would be nice to know if it happened again... [19:28] reinstall ubuntu that is [19:28] TristPM: really dunno; can parted create "apple partitions" ? if not you should use the tool parted told you to use "pdisk" [19:28] buenas tardes [19:28] TristPM: maybe a MAc utility [19:28] JoppeLap_: Yeah, I just recently had to install for something else. I thought this was a pretty old problem, but apparently it still hasn't been fixed [19:28] alguien me podria echar una mano para instalaar unos rpm [19:28] que no lo consigo con el comando alien [19:28] !es | r3tikus [19:28] r3tikus: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[19:38] hblount: disconnect it take it out... pet it, put it back in [19:38] hblount: Sorry, been thinking over the problem and coming up with nothing. [19:38] Laptop. [19:38] hblount: 100% serious too [19:38] JoppeLap_: A friend of mine just said it might be because our ISPs don't allow static IP's [19:38] ive reseated many connections [19:38] waot: I would've suggested same, but it's usually harder to crack open a laptop. [19:39] i think it maybe died between yesterday and now. it was just sitting on a desk but oh well [19:39] to take out a hard drive? [19:39] wth [19:39] Indeed. [19:39] not really === toto is now known as Guest13481 [19:39] man i need to hang out in here more often [19:39] I've never really toyed with laptops, just desktops. [19:40] i've installed ram on laptop, but nothing more. big hassle [19:40] plastic panel on the bottom? clips to take off the keyboard..? [19:40] how do i find my usb printers device uri? [19:41] Hey there! [19:41] What is the best IRC client for ubuntu? [19:41] for anything beyond ram [19:41] I'm now on backtrack [19:41] !best [19:41] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:41] DutchCow94: the best irc clicent is TBIC of course [19:42] could not find package waot [19:42] TBICE ? [19:43] "Starting timidity, seems to be frozen on Opening sequencer port" === charles_ is now known as Guest97190 [19:45] ok guys I'm in serious trouble. [19:45] has anyone installed 10.10 (or a previous version) using the alternate installer with LVM+disk encryption and can send me his /etc/default/grub ? [19:45] hello again ~ i think i have worked out what the problem is with my internet under ubuntu .. it appears i have an SIS190 onboard NIC on an XPC .. SIS190 appears to have caused alot of problems in the past .. does any1 know if there is a specific patch available for this problem .. i have searched with google but found nothing so far .. thanks [19:47] after playing with startupmanager grub doesnt want to boot any longer, and the modification date of /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg suggest that it has fucked with these files. [19:47] how can I restore my ubuntu mount passphrase, I think I overwrote it when I reinstalled ubuntu... :( [19:47] it = startupmanager [19:47] I backed up all my ecryptfs files in my home directory [19:48] what is a reliable ubuntu firewall [19:48] is this a hal thing? please, someone help me. [19:49] !firewall | Sterm [19:49] Sterm: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [19:49] and thats strong enough? [19:49] lol [19:49] It is. [19:50] ha [19:50] is it set by default or do you have to set it yourself [19:50] my printer is connected and all, but still won't print anything. the self-test-page comes out fine. [19:50] wat do [19:50] dude, which one? [19:50] Is there ANY way to restore my /var/lib/ecryptfs directory after repartitioning and reinstalling Ubuntu? :( [19:50] ubuntunoob: nope [19:51] :( [19:51] :( [19:51] Lesson learned. :( [19:51] is the ubuntu firewall set by default? [19:51] how can i make ubottu understand blueray [19:51] hey, I am trying to install gparted in Lucid and I'm getting dependency errors. I got the source code but it says I'm missing libuuid when I ./configure [19:51] Sterm yes, you can check it by doing a sudo ufw enable [19:51] brontosaurusrex: it's a HP LaserJet 6L connected via USB. The self-test-page is the one the printer itself does when i press its button - any jobs coming from the system are ignored :( [19:51] olskolirc: sit ubuntu down, maybe bring some cookies and say.. listen... this is blueray... [19:51] I have all my encrypted data too... why the hell is .ecryptfs a sym link, not a folder?! [19:51] Sterm you might also want to read the above documentation - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [19:51] annecy: Didn't want to just apt-get install gparted? [19:51] olskolirc: :-D [19:52] Sterm: its set to have no rules.. so its basically off by default.. [19:52] brontosaurusrex: also everything worked great in 9.04. now i have 10.04 and it just goes on strike :/ [19:52] lol waot [19:52] what is the word for ubottu to understand blue ray [19:52] !blueray [19:52] Nope. :) [19:52] !bluray [19:52] There is no e? [19:53] gidimanunaki: I've tried to apt-get, but when that didn't work I got the source code [19:53] I dont own any.. so no idea. :) [19:53] If I want to convert from a dynamic ip to a static ip on my computer, do I need to change things on my router? [19:53] Dont think my new laptop has a B.R. drive either. [19:53] annecy: So, something off in your sources? [19:53] tortoise: my router lets me assign a static ip. based on MAC. thats easier :) [19:53] olskolirc, i very much doubt that blueray video is something that goes into linux philosophy (you are talking about video right?) [19:54] * dude afk [19:54] right brontosaurusrex [19:54] anyone know why UNE 10.04 is not counted as LTS? It has the Gnome desktop there et al. What stops being updated ahead of 10.04 desktop edition? [19:55] Because Mark says so? I dunno. [19:55] gidimanunaki: there was a thread in the forums that was apparently solved by using a different source for the repository but thadidn't work for me. its been a month now ive been trying [19:56] suprengr: LTS is more of a concern to businesses and so forth worried about security. [19:56] annecy: So, are you following a walkthrough for installing from source now, or fly by the seat of your pants? [19:56] suprengr: i imagine any security issues will get updated in une also since the repos are the same. [19:56] Is it possible to bruteforce the wrapped passphrase if I know my password? I really need to get my data back :( [19:56] gidimanunaki: :-/ [19:57] gidimanunaki: I only typed ./configure, i reckoned that was safe enough. apt-get returns gparted: Depends: libparted0 (>= 2.2-1) but it is not going to be installed [19:57] E: Broken packages [19:57] that would be a no then ___ [19:57] Dr_Willis: thanks - that was also the supposition I was working on. [19:57] annecy: Okay, and tried installing the dependency? [19:57] annecy: Is apt just down altogether for you? [19:57] hey all, (currently on win7 a sin I know) and I want to know if I can use multiple connections in ubuntu to get a little more speed or so-called "load balancing". This includes dial-up and 3g. Anyone know if that's possible? [19:58] gidimanunaki: i have no other problems with anything and i can't install the dpendency [19:58] Gaming4JC: proberluy possible.. but proberly not worth the effort. :) i recall years ago people using 2 dialup accounts to get a fast... 8+kb/sec download.. :) [19:59] Dr_Willis: That's improvement :D (2kbps currently) [19:59] lol [19:59] I have problems getting my graphics card to run / the nvidia drivers installed [19:59] i have a geforce 5200 fx and i was doing well with nvidia-173 until the upgrade [20:02] Dr_Willis: [reason for my question was... I have convinced sister to switch to UNE on her netbook & had recommended she let me put Lynx UNE on it to replace dead system she has atm... my ears were getting worried re the pan when she found UNE died earlier than I promised]. Thanks again - my ears feel safer already ;) [20:02] annecy: what message do you get when you try to install libparted? [20:02] *pain [20:05] hi, I'm using gnome, I need a program to notify me after 1hour, like a reminder, a sound signal would be nice but some graphical thing would be nice as well [20:05] yeats: libparted0debian1 is installed; libparted0 is not marked as installed. if i try to mark it i get; libparted0: Depends: libparted0debian1 (=2.2-5ubuntu5) but 2.2-5ubuntu5.1 is to be installed [20:05] debian? [20:05] Hmm. [20:05] spetrea-home: install timer-applet [20:05] spetrea-home: i always used it to tell me when my pizza was ready ;-) [20:06] ubuntunoob: see http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/03/mounting-your-encrypted-home-from.html, but you need to have the passphrase or the ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase file [20:06] thats an interesting name to have debian in it.. [20:06] Hello, guys! [20:07] What xorg.conf contains? [20:07] chiz: IF it exists. it has various settings for the X server. [20:07] I haven't got such file. But I want to install video driver. And I need this file. [20:07] chiz: X auto configures for the most part these days.. whats your video chipset? [20:08] ati [20:08] spetrea-home, a script ? 1. sleep 60x60x60 2. beep loudly! [20:08] Dr_Willis, ATI [20:08] ati makes a lot of differnt chipsets.. I dont use any of them. :) [20:08] chiz: you did use the hardware-drivers tool in the menus to install any drivers needed? [20:09] yeats: in other words it needs an older version of libparted? i don't know how to go about that [20:09] , no problems with ati. I need xorf.conf file to setup drivers. [20:09] annecy: have you tried uninstalling libparted0debian1? [20:09] im in the visudo file again, I changed the admin account at the bottom to nopasswd that didnt seem to be popular, there is also a user privilige root account,. what to change to not type my password for every single change ? also ubuntu removed the other admin user i added to the file [20:10] yeats: that would require uniinstalling bags of other stuff [20:10] annecy: it will stop you if it's being used by another program - APT is pretty smart about that kind of thing [20:10] annecy: oh [20:10] , I tryed :-) But after reboot I can't login in GUI. I just can use console or terminal. I don't know how it named :-) [20:10] * yeats wonders what other programs other than gparted need libparted... [20:11] annecy: this is maverick? [20:11] yeats: lucd [20:11] Anyone know an easy way to download, remove and reinstall the network manager in ubuntu? When I'm trying to "apt-get -d network-manager" it just sends "invalid operation". And to uninstall it the system says I should use "apt-get autoremove", but I don't feel too confortable to use that command since it say it will remove "linux-headers-2.6.32-22 linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic". [20:11] is "usb:/dev/usb_prnt#" the correct device URI for an usb printer? [20:11] should I Encrypt my home folder"?? [20:12] x404x: I don't recommend messing with the sudoers file without having a *very good* idea about what you are doing [20:12] its asking that right now on the installation [20:12] JoppeLap_: apt-get install --reinstall network-manager === oracle_ is now known as oracle [20:12] Sterm: i would suggest NO....

[20:12] Sterm: if you do make sure to *record the passphrase" !!! no access to your data without it [20:13] annecy: hmm - gparted installs fine for me... [20:13] guntbert, would it be more secure from windows if I enable it?? [20:13] annecy: what custom packages (if any) have you installed? [20:13] Sterm: what does windows have to do with it? [20:13] viruses [20:14] yeats: custom packages? [20:14] annecy: do you get any from Debian or other Ubuntu releases? [20:14] Sterm: I think your logic is illogical... [20:14] hello, what is the nautilus extension that allows you to connect to remove servers? Like SSH, FTP, Samba, etc.....

[20:14] Sterm encryption is more for protecting your stuff from other people with access to it [20:14] cw=Z]NbPmO4Pm>K [20:14] Sterm: encrypting your home directory means that someone who stelas your computer has still no access to your data [20:15] lol [20:15] yeats: I can't recall , a handful ,google-earth .. [20:15] except the CIA [20:15] Sterm: what are you talking about ? [20:15] Dont they have all the toold to crack it [20:15] tools [20:15] What sign $ befor command sudo means? [20:15] Sterm: what are you talking about ? [20:15] annecy: ok... just wondering why the versions of libparted would conflict... [20:15] chiz: it's just showing you are in a shell prompt [20:15] I mean how safe is the encryption [20:15] Sterm: as safe as you make it [20:16] Sterm: if you use a password of 123456 then it's not very safe, if you use klgj;lkjghdfljkgdhfg as a passphrase, you can sleep easy [20:16] Im using the non-free virtualbox for USB support, but I can't get it to recognize USB devices (win xp). I am a member of vboxusers. any ideas? [20:16] lol, thats true [20:16] c3l: not sure how this is an ubuntu issue ? [20:16] ikonia, omg, you know my password [20:16] hello, what is the nautilus extension that allows you to connect to remove servers? Like SSH, FTP, Samba, etc..... [20:17] c3l: double check the vbox docs/manual and wiki/tutorials on using the feature.. it took me a few trys to get it working right. [20:17] thanks [20:17] annecy: can you paste the output of 'apt-cache policy libparted0debian1' at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? [20:17] c3l: did you log out and bck in after making you user member of that group? [20:17] Dr_Willis: ah okay. thanks! [20:17] c3l: i also recall some issue/bug with a odd fstab entry causing problems for the feature [20:18] btw, how to make a beep from command line? (the beep package is not working as it seems) or a gnome desktop title indicator, or both?

I am a bit confused as to where I should put them. I have put them in /etc/init.d/bridge [20:33] would you say its right ? [20:33] annecy: hmm - okay, can you now do 'sudo apt-get install libparted0' and paste that output? (Sorry I know this seems circular ;-) ) [20:34] , I have't got such folder [20:34] zongo: you added them to the proper runlevel as a service? If not you may just want to start them from /etc/rc.local [20:34] hm nice , I am beginning to see why backblaze selected debian for their servers and not ubuntu, not very useful to have a system where any idiot with a boot cd can have full access but the administrator may not get any access unless typing password for every command [20:35] i kinda fail to see the big security improvement sadly [20:35] x404x: A scathing rebuke if I ever heard one. [20:35] Dr_Willis, thanks for your reply. [20:35] Dr_Willis: any idea?? [20:35] stiv2k: i dont use the netbook stuff at all. [20:35] yeast [20:35] x404x: did you actually try to use sudo? [20:35] yeats:http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/531942/ [20:36] x404x: that statement made look what you realy are. A n00b that is [20:36] !noob | zazuge [20:36] well im not very happy after fighting for a month to config everything and every setting i use in the sudoer file then ubuntu changes it to something else and locks out all admins [20:36] zazuge: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [20:36] I have sudo timeout after one minute rather than the default, but I was wondering if there's any way to create a timeout once the terminal is closed. [20:36] hi [20:36] Dr_Willis: shit, do you know what the program is called so i can try running it from the command line? [20:36] x404x: debian is better for server deploying but you stated the wrong reasons [20:37] what is the program to open wpa [20:37] stiv2k: not really. I tend to connet to my servers once. then bookmark them. You could always enter a url like smb://whatever [20:37] Or synaptic, the software center, etc. [20:37] t [20:37] zazuge: no such discussions *here* please [20:37] stiv2k: let me see if i can fifgure it out. [20:37] x404x: i stated a fact [20:37] well im installing debian next time , I have no use for an os that changes settings itself and does not respect the admins settings [20:38] stiv2k: well i was able to drag the connect to server.. menu item to the panel. :) but cant fifure out if its a binary called or not.. [20:38] x404x: then what are you doing on this channel ?? [20:38] Dr_Willis: :p [20:38] sudo timeout: http://ubuntuguide.net/change-timeout-delay-for-sudo-command-password-in-ubuntu [20:38] quite...

[20:38] Greezmunkey: thanks [20:38] x404x: quite ... plz [20:39] Fapton_Calcon: np [20:39] for example chmod 777 unkown.avi returns unkown.avi is not a folder [20:39] stiv2k: perhaps 21664 ? Sl 0:00 nautilus-connect-server [20:39] why all this confusion ? [20:39] stiv2k: the logical name 'nautilus-connect-server' perhaps. [20:39] !find 21664 ?

[20:40] annecy: it appears that it was caused by an out-of-sync software mirror [20:40] annecy: do you know how to change your software sources? [20:40] lack of experience is easily rectified by mutual cooperation with a trusted source, not an imitater === horus is now known as Guest93110 [20:41] d3v0: works for me here... [20:41] Dr_Willis: let me see if i have it [20:41] yeats: but I tried a differnt mirror [20:41] stiv2k: nautilus-connect-server brings it up here.. make a launcher for it. :) [20:41] annecy: ok... [20:41] Dr_Willis: yup i got it [20:41] does anyone here have a GeForce 5200 or similar card? I cant get it to work / get the drivers to work === Guest93110 is now known as h0ru5 [20:42] Another question. Why is gksu recommended over sudo when running a program with a GUI? [20:42] x [20:42] Fapton_Calcon: it sets the proper DISPLAY and other variables. [20:42] annecy: I'm sorry I'm out of ideas :-/ You might consider downloading a Gparted Live CD to do what you want. It may be something that fixes itself eventually. [20:42] why anybody can't help me with atheros wireless card? [20:42] Dr_Willis: Ah, okay. Thanks a lot! [20:42] unreal!!!!!!! [20:43] soraxx: ive seen about 6 people in here today fighting with atheros cards.... [20:43] yeats: yeah, thanks [20:43] Has anyone got some experience installing Burg? [20:43] !logs [20:43] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [20:43] sosaited: it was easy to install.. but it dident seem to work like it was supposed to on my nvidia system [20:43] !gksudo | Fapton_Calcon [20:43] Fapton_Calcon: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:43] :( [20:43] sosaited: i followed a guide at webupd8, or perhaps it was omgbuntu web site. [20:44] I am following a guide, but during the install, I get a screen in terminal saying "The following linux command was extracted from /etc/default/grub...............Please verify that it is correct and modify if necessary". What should I enter here? [20:44] ubottu: Wow, you sure know your resources. [20:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:44] stiv2k: you DID notice that the gnome file manager.. has 'File --> Connect to server' ? :) [20:44] Dr_Willis: I am following the same guide. But there is no mention of this screen [20:44] does anyone in here has experience with grub2 gfxmenu? [20:45] sosaited: i installed some 'burg installer script/tool' mentioned last week at omgubuntu and it did it all.. [20:45] ubottu is artificially intelligent [20:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:45] damn, Now i have started this install. What should I do with this? [20:45] : [20:45] lol [20:46] sosaited: seems omgubuntu has a new artical on it :) http://www.sourceslist.eu/burg-2/burg-manager/burg-manager-1-0-0-released/ [20:46] i can connect with 192.168.1.33 on my network [20:46] yes greez [20:47] okay, so i'll try this again. i have an eeepc running ubuntu. it worked fine. then i upgraded from 8.0whatever to 10.04 and i lost keyboard and mouse in the graphical interface. i managed to get the mouse back by googling and adding to xorg.conf "option allowemptyinput false". but still no keyboard. it complains "failed to load module 'kbd' (module does not exist, 0) [20:47] anyone know if it is possable to set the screen resolution when running kexec to load ubuntu from live disk [20:47] Dr_Willis: gaah [20:48] f1 [20:48] olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [20:48] Dr_Willis: sorry, i'm an ass... [20:48] hey [20:48] Dr_Willis: i looked under every menu except the file menu :( [20:48] stiv2k: :) I just noticed it actually... i thought it was in there. [20:48] spanish please [20:48] !es | alejandro [20:48] alejandro: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [20:48] someone then suggested that i need to install xserver-xorg-input-kbd, which i tried to do, but the install complains that "xserver-xorg-core conflicts with xserver-xorg-input-4" (which is in xserver-...-kbd) [20:48] Dr_Willis: That includes the themes and main burg, or is it just a manager? [20:49] So, can I run gksu -K just as I would sudo -K? [20:49] gksudo [20:49] i really need to be able to use a keyboard in ubuntu again. please help [20:49] Aren't Gksu and sudo the same thing in Ubuntu? [20:49] sosaited: it can install burg and downlaod/install themes.. or so it says. I installed burg. that worked.. installed some themes.. but the BURG boot thing never looked different. it was using burg not grub.. but no themes [20:49] gksudo* [20:49] !gksudo [20:49] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:49] gksudo is [20:49] erUSUL: do you know why its say "o charlar", is there no more #ubuntu-es-offtopic for that? [20:50] not the same.... one is graphical one is command line [20:50] Spectacular kill onboard keyboard [20:50] Spectacular: Go to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and try changing a line that says Driver "keyboard" to Driver "kbd" maybe you got the new X11 release. [20:50] I'm confused :S Gksu and gksudo are indeed different? [20:50] Spectacular: Quote from a post I found... [20:51] shado`, huh? [20:51] gksu looks a LOT differnt here then gksudo [20:51] LjL: yes; there is. we have no problem redirecting people there as needed [20:51] Fapton_Calcon: they are not the same, try if sudo -K kills the gksudo timestamp too [20:51] greezmunkey, my xorg.conf is pretty nonexistant. just a few lines. doesn't mention the keyboard at all [20:51] Fapton_Calcon su is different than sudo, gksu is different than gksudo [20:52] greezmunkey, but from the log it seems that it *is* looking for 'kbd', not keyboard... and it doesnt find it [20:52] Dr_Willis: I finished the Burg install, but now I would rather uninstall it and install burg-manager. But will just a apt-get remove work for it? I don't want my grub to be *ucke up completely [20:52] get rid of onboard [20:52] sosaited: burg manager dosent need burg unonstalled i imagine... [20:52] what's that, shado` ? [20:52] sosaited: install burg manager and it should install burg if needed. [20:52] Are there any advantages to using gksudo over sudo then? Ah, perhaps I'll come back after more reseach [20:52] get rid of onboard keyboard [20:53] Fapton_Calcon: use gksudo for gui apps.. sudo for terminal apps.. normally [20:53] Fapton_Calcon gksudo is graphical whereas sudo is not [20:53] shado`, i dont understand what you're suggesting [20:53] Hey, I figured out how to load xwinwrap into the login screen. But i have a small question about how to work out the finer details. [20:53] Spectacular: here is the subsection from my xorg.conf : [20:53] Thank you all [20:53] Spectacular: here is the subsection from my xorg.conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/531949/ (sorry) [20:53] go to applications ,find onboard settings [20:54] Fapton_Calcon: the last line in the factoid you got sent by ubottu tells you that [20:54] i wana download dr house season 1 [20:54] I am using Electric Sheep. Is it possible to symlink everything in my .electricsheep folder to root's .electricsheep folder and have it work that way? [20:55] !piracy | night [20:55] night: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [20:55] I know, sounds funked right? I'm just doing it to show off. [20:55] night: why do you insist asking such questions here? this channel is *only* for ubuntu support [20:55] guntbert: Maybe because he associates Linux with illegal activity. [20:55] You know, all the crooks and pirates use Linux. :P [20:56] guntbert: Ah, I see. Thanks [20:56] sabnzbdplus is great as is vlc support ;) [20:56] (Okay not all of them, but the majority of them. Whack thinking I know.) [20:56] tiox: and that is off topic here too :-) [20:56] shado`, i don't have such a thing [20:56] greezmunkey, i tried that, still the same complaint about not being able to load kbd [20:57] tiox: ??????6 [20:57] ipv4 what that [20:57] Anyway, if I make a symlink from my .electricsheep folder to root's .electricsheep folder, would everything just work? [20:57] how to use that [20:57] Dr_Willis: Btw how is opensuse able to use graphical menus while using older grub, and the new grub2 doesn't [20:57] Spectacular: hmm, obviously you restarted x to test... [20:57] greezmunkey, yes of course [20:58] Spectacular: what type of keyboard do you have, usb? [20:58] greezmunkey, it's a eepc laptop [20:58] lol @ eeepc [20:58] eeepc* [20:59] !lol | tiox [20:59] tiox: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [20:59] Dr_Willis: BUC's install is in some other language :s [20:59] worked perfectly with ubuntu until i upgraded [20:59] ok [20:59] 'Kay. (But IRC IS an instant messenger! D: ) === bcnice20|Chillin is now known as bcnice20 [21:00] tiox: not knowing what "electric sheep" is - why would you want to symlink anything to /root at all? [21:00] what mean by ping [21:00] Because I have xwinwrap working in the GDM. [21:00] ping means what [21:00] !who | night [21:00] night: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:00] And electricsheep is a screensaver that grabs basically pre-rendered fractals from the internet. [21:00] ping = locate [21:00] sosaited: yea i noticed that also. [21:00] greezmunkey, any other ideas? i'm really desparate [21:01] Also, if xwinwrap is running in the GDM, it'll carry over into account login. [21:01] night, ping is used to see if a network device is on a network, assuming it's allowed to respond. it's a network diagnostic tool [21:01] !info xwinwrap [21:01] Package xwinwrap does not exist in maverick [21:01] Spectacular: from what I see it looks like possible a ACPI issue, I'm looking into that now. [21:01] Wha?? [21:01] Since when?! [21:01] greezmunkey, thanks so much! [21:01] device like what [21:02] How come if I copy something, say some text. A URL from firefox maybe, then close firefox, and try to paste that URL elsewhere, it wont work? [21:02] Dr_Willis: When you installed BUC, did it give a window in some other language with a button, and after pressing a button it gives some error about user sharing or something. [21:02] waldizno [21:02] is there any way to setup direct access to a flash drive? I have linux host w/ win 7 in vm box. I can't access my flash drive in windows. Can someone plz help me fix the prob? [21:02] Okay, brief xwinwrap explanation GO! [21:02] device like what [21:02] It's like copied items go away with their original program [21:02] I have created a new medium installation and it once again failed [21:02] night like another computer or anything with an IP address [21:02] sosaited: i think it poped up some dialog that said 'buc installed suceesully' in some other language [21:02] oh yeah [21:02] xwinwrap is an application that allows you to run anything fullscreen, plastering it over the desktop. Programs, movies, screensavers, whatever. [21:03] tiox: devilspie and compiz have similer features. [21:03] Mmmm? [21:03] Dr_Willis the new installtion failed :( [21:03] I'm intrigued. How can I do the same thing in compiz? [21:03] Sterm: demand a refund! [21:04] refund for what [21:04] Does anyone knowwhere/if one can change the colors of the links in evolution mail client? [21:04] tiox: compiz has some settings/plugins to tweak windows settings on creation,. making them ontop./underneeth/fullscreen and so forth.. [21:04] Is there a way to have copy/paste be a persistant thing? rather than wiping the copied text the the originating program is closed [21:04] Sterm: :) for the pain and suffering! [21:04] WACOMalt: use parcellite or another clipboard manager [21:04] WACOMalt: install a clipboard manager tool. theres several in the repos [21:04] I know but I didn't buy anything [21:04] ugh [21:04] guys, once I installed a brand new linux, the root's path is something like: "PATH=$PATH:/bin:/so_on" , meaning "$PATH" is already set somewhere else.... my doubt is, is there a file where "PATH" is primary set? [21:05] erUSUL: Dr_Willis which ones do you guys recommend? [21:05] can some one help me w/ setup issues in vm box? [21:05] Dam Ubuntu just doesn't want to load [21:05] JuNiOx: in /etc/ theres several configs that set it yes.. [21:05] WACOMalt: use pacakge manager.. try one.. move on down. glipper i recall works.. [21:05] does it have some incompatibiities with external HD or something? [21:05] OKay, so if i want a screensaver to run as my desktop and have the icons above, is that a possibility?

[21:06] can anyone help me w/ some setup issues for virtual box?? [21:06] Dr_Willis: It was a really long time ago, when I first install Karmic, so I don't remember. No way to check it? [21:07] sosaited: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub' MIGHT show you.. [21:07] scott__: the vbox aviable on the repos ( ose ) does not support usb passthrough. you neeed the version from the website [21:07] anyone know why wine 1.3 on ubuntu 10.10 keeps seg faulting.. even winecfg does.. wine1.2 does the same [21:07] scott__: #vbox exist in this server [21:07] I'll burn an Ubuntu DVD for my father, but he only has 256MB RAM.

Cause grub2 gives the same [21:08] night: download CompizConfig [21:08] erUSUL: I have version from website not repos [21:08] what issues are you having scott_ [21:08] thanks Dr_willis. I said DVD because it's the only media I have. [21:08] sosaited: grub2 is 'grub-pc' yes...

[21:08] Spectacular: Heh, here is an xorg.conf from a eepc 1000 (something or another) see if any of this helps before getting any deeper. [21:09] but isn't pcmanfm too buggy?

[21:10] Sterm: ubuntu has a desktop cd. netbook, and 'alternative' cd. the alternative uses a text based installer...

[21:10] greezmunkey, it's the same as you had, wrt the keyboard, and, same problem [21:10] Dr_Willis the instalation runs fine and completes [21:10] Sterm: you may want to use a bootable flash drive if you can. save on burning disks. [21:11] Sterm: then ive totally missed the problem. :) [21:11] WalDizno: no errors that i know of. ck'd vmbox screen & it shows my flash drive. just can't access it in windows for some reason.

It is sdb atm because i added a new drive a few days ago [21:14] Spectacular: Paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file please [21:14] Fapton_Calcon: why not just disable history ?

[21:16] sosaited: check teh burg docs.

[21:19] how can i get it [21:19] john38: "target" ? they mount in /media/cdrom* and the block devices are /dev/scd* [21:19] ActionParsnip, in terminal if i want to run a file from cdrom [21:19] so you have to go back to the software center and install compiz plugins. there are 2 or 3 packages, I don't know exactly which one has the fire effects [21:19] connermcd: How do I delete bash on startup? Do I need to make a script? [21:19] john38: it will mount to /media/cdrom0 [21:19] Fapton_Calcon edit your .bashrc [21:20] john38: you can access the files from there: cd /media/cdrom0; ls will show the files [21:20] ActionParsnip, how do i run ubuntu cd from within ubuntu [21:20] greezmunkey, http://pastebin.ca/1991543 [21:20] john38: why would you want to ? [21:20] john38: Virtualbox [21:20] by the way plugin means what [21:20] john38: It's in the repository [21:20] extra stuff [21:20] ActionParsnip: I addded Package: grub-pc [21:20] Pin-Priority: -10 [21:20] Fapton_Calcon just open up your .bashrc and add a line in there to delete the history [21:20] to /etc/apt/preferences.d/blacklist [21:20] sega01_at_work: thats all i know dude [21:20] No luck. [21:21] john38: what are you trying to achieve? [21:21] ActionParsnip, im using 10.10 amd64 i dont like it i want to go back to 10.04 amd64 [21:21] exit [21:21] connermcd: I don't know what to type, or on what line to type it :| [21:21] john38: then you must reinstall clean [21:22] john38: have you set a separate home partition? [21:22] ActionParsnip, i dowloaded and burned but it wont run at boot [21:22] check its md5sum [21:22] john38: did you MD5 test tehe ISO you downloaded? [21:22] ActionParsnip, how do i do that [21:23] john38: you didnt test the ISO so you have no way of knowing if it was complete or error free [21:23] !md5 | john38 [21:23] john38: 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 [21:23] Fapton_Calcon it doesn't really matter WHERE you type it... just do a rm ~/.bash_history [21:23] ActionParsnip, im sure its full download [21:23] john38: you dont know 100% for sure [21:23] Fapton_Calcon set aside some space in your .bashrc for doing commands on bash startup... such as setting aliases etc. [21:23] john38: MD5 will tell you if it good, a bad ISO will make a bad CD will make a bad install experience [21:23] ActionParsnip, i think when you download and burn cds they usually wont run at boot unless your using windows [21:24] john38 can't be sure without a md5 checksum test [21:24] maco: how do I start this timer-applet ? [21:24] john38: no, you can burn ubntu ISOs in Ubuntu and they will boot [21:24] Hello [21:24] connermcd: That the command I was using previously in my crontab. Makes more sense to put it directly into .bashrc XD [21:24] john38: so you seriously think you MUST have a windows PC to burn a bootable ISO??? get real [21:24] Is it possible to disable the touch pad while my USB mouse is pluged in? [21:25] ActionParsnip, i've done it before on windows 'its asks do you want to prepare cd for boot that option doesnt exist in ubuntu [21:25] john38: you can try to manually select the boot order when you start your pc [21:25] Fapton_Calcon :-) [21:25] lionrafael, i've done that still wont boot cd [21:25] john38: you just open the ISO with your chosen burning app, the ISO itself has all the data needed to make it boot just fine [21:25] WINDOWS u have to allow it to boot,, linux just does [21:25] you can boot the ubuntu install cd and then choose from the menu "verify cd integrity" or similar text. [21:25] john38: you might have gotten a problem during the iso download [21:26] John38 ubuntu ISOs are bootable regardless [21:26] john38: check the ISO, if its good then boot to the CD you burned and test the consistancy (press space when you see the stickman screen) [21:26] lionrafael, no no im sure download was fine [21:26] hmm [21:26] so I don't know what might have happened. how did you burn it? [21:26] john38: without testing it any efforts could be pointless as the initial ISO being bad will negate any efforts === luke_ is now known as lukus [21:27] ActionParsnip, for god sakes i just downloaded and burned 10.10 maverick last week and boot fine [21:27] john38: being complacent is not acceptable, especially with the nature of the data you are using [21:27] john38: you could have a bad iso, then test the disk you burned [21:27] ActionParsnip, how do i test [21:27] John38 I've downloaded ISOs that looked like they were complete but MD5 checksum said otherwise and unless you do one, you can not be sure. [21:27] john38: test what? [21:28] ActionParsnip, what do you mean test what you just told me lol [21:28] greezmunkey, my pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/1991543 [21:28] john38: press space when you see the stickman screen and select "Check CD for defects". [21:28] ActionParsnip, john38: you could have a bad iso, then test the disk you burned [21:28] John38 what OS are you using now? [21:28] ActionParsnip, what is stickman how do get there [21:28] WalDizno, 10.10 amd64 [21:29] john38: boot to the CD and you will see the man and a keyboard at teh bottom of the screen, press space there [21:29] john38 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [21:29] I guess that's not possible [21:29] the link where you downloaded the ISO should have a md5checksum [21:29] Got a CD with Ubuntu 10.10 in the drive, currently in the BIOS. When I try to boot my computer just boots normally. At the boot priority order. Would "USB CD" be my CD drive? [21:30] Habstinat: does the optical drive connect via usb? [21:30] hm fixet sudo /root og remote login problemene nå, guiden jeg brukte hadde feil syntax... arg [21:30] ActionParsnip, i cant boot to the cd it wont boot [21:30] Habstinat: depends on your hardware, if unsure contact your vendor for support or check the channel ##hardware [21:30] x404x: English please. [21:30] sorry [21:30] john38: dont you think a bad iso would cause that? [21:31] John38, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM see if that helps [21:31] ActionParsnip: Doubt it. I'll go to ##hardware, thanks. [21:31] i fixed my root / remote problems bugs, the guide i used had errors [21:31] ActionParsnip, maybe [21:31] john38: but yuo dont know as you seem adament against checking the iso [21:31] those settings didnt work, i used the syntax from the livecd and reconstructed my sudoers file [21:31] john38: which is pretty dumb [21:31] it worked and now i get no nagging for password [21:31] I have samba running on a ubuntu server and its running and working but I can't see it when I browse the network (Finder, Windows Explorer, Network in Ubuntu). Any ideas why a server would not broadcast its presence all of a sudden? (it worked before... and it works at my place with a similar setup..) [21:32] hydrozen: Everything on the network set to the same broadcast address? [21:32] howto make firefox boot at startup with a certain page ? its a program that needs to run [21:32] ActionParsnip, checking.... [21:32] ActionParsnip, checking..... [21:32] RiverRat: I'm pretty sure yeah. It's all 192.168.2.255 [21:33] x404x: you're not going to be able to do that, beyond make that your home page [21:33] i wish developers would not change every syntax for every release ;( [21:33] RiverRat: and i see the server in the output if I do findsmb [21:33] can i make it start the home page ? [21:33] x404x: they don't [21:33] x404x: just put firefox in your startup sessions [21:33] ActionParsnip, file check out [21:33] ActionParsnip, no md5sum problems [21:34] where are my startup sessions ? [21:34] !startup [21:34] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [21:34] If I'm running 8.10 and want to install a package that only comes in 8.04 9.10 and 10.10 which should I choose? [21:34] ActionParsnip, the only way to install from boot at least on 10.04 is those retail alternate cds [21:34] john38: ok good, so the ISO isn't to blame [21:34] hi [21:34] sroy2: none [21:34] sroy2: what do you want to install [21:34] nessus [21:34] x404x: Firefox still used the remote commands last I checked. http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html [21:34] sroy2: 8.10 is end of life and unsupported, you should upgrade to a suported version [21:34] ActionParsnip, so cd is fine [21:35] John38 maybe the cd didn't burn properly. [21:35] john38: you can use the alternate ISO if you wish. Burn a CD and burn it slowly, open the ISO with your burning app and it should start the process [21:35] WalDizno, nah this happened before [21:35] WalDizno, burning isnt problem [21:35] ikonia: hmmm... ok, I'll see what I can do- I've never upgraded to a new release/kernel before [21:36] I have recently upgraded to 10.10 by installing from the alternate cd, I get the same problem after install that I get during installation using the normal cd: after the ubuntu screen the screen turns white with little red dots all over it and the system stalls... I don't know what is wrong! [21:36] salsero: what video chip do you use? [21:36] nvidia [21:36] john38: use k3b. brasero sometimes breaks the cds [21:36] ActionParsnip, what say you? think it can't be a burning issue? if the ISO is fine and the cd still wont boot? maybe cd/dvd rom issue? [21:36] bt [21:36] but 9.10 worked just fine!! [21:37] ActionParsnip, whats the diffrence if i download an ISO from ubuntu page and an alternative download [21:37] salsero: boot to root recovery mode and remove the nvidia driver [21:37] john38: how are you burning the ISO? [21:37] !alt | john38 [21:37] john38: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [21:37] WalDizno: i have a sneaking suspicion [21:37] ActionParsnip, Brasero [21:37] how do I boot to recovery mode.. and why does this only happen in 10.10 [21:37] john38: ok and what did you do with the ISO? [21:38] salsero: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root. Sometimes proprietary drivers dont make the upgrade [21:38] ActionParsnip, i think i'll end up burning alternate ISO that should work [21:38] haha.. well nvidia is like the number one graphics chip.. funny... how do I unselect it? [21:38] salsero: so you will need to remove it, then get to the desktop then reinstall the driver [21:39] ActionParsnip, i burned it with Brasero [21:39] john38: your call, its all good in the hood [21:39] hehe [21:39] Wondering, is it possible to configure with openvpn to have 3 vpn connections open at the same time. I get a global ip and internet gateway by connecting to a vpn server(currently on windows) which is limited to 30mbit, i would like to connect my linux router to all 3 logins I have, so i have 3 global ips to my system , just wondering if its possible? [21:39] john38: so you didnt extract it, or anything weird [21:39] I am burning ubuntu on a different new cd [21:39] how do i deactivate the driver [21:39] i have just installed ubuntu onto an old sony vaio, everything works fine until I close the lid and reopen it, the graphics have gone into lots of fine lines it does the same on hibernate or suspend when i bring it back alive, it is fine if i shut down and start upagain but i can not suspend in any way without this happening, any ideas? [21:39] if it doesn't work this time, Ubuntu hates IBM [21:39] ActionParsnip, yeah extracted it and burned [21:39] greezmunkey, you still there? [21:39] ... [21:39] how do i deactivate the driver [21:40] john38: thats why! [21:40] WalDizno: i was right [21:40] John38 there is your problem [21:40] john38: you dont extract the iso [21:40] ActionParsnip, oh... [21:40] okay.. so I held shift at bootup.. now the entire screen is with red and green blocks... !!!!! and again stalled [21:40] john38: the iso is good to go, you tell brasero to burn the ISO. You dont need to do anything with it [21:40] Which one in http:/​/​www.flickr.com/​photos/​42379613@N04/​5176360550 do you think would be my CD drive? (ThinkPad W700ds) [21:40] Brasero calls it a cd image === armand is now known as Guest68247 [21:40] john38: right click the iso and open it with brasero, it will burn and WORK === Tweedle[afk] is now known as Tweedle [21:41] ActionParsnip, burn data or image [21:41] john38: by extracting it you may have the data but you remove the bootable data which is needed [21:41] John38 image === Guest68247 is now known as Symphoniiie [21:41] john38: image [21:41] john38: thats what an iso is, its a cd image [21:41] okay.. so I held shift at bootup.. now the entire screen is with red and green blocks... !!!!! and again stalled [21:42] now what [21:42] salsero: press CTRL+L and it will clear the screen [21:42] ActionParsnip, burning... [21:42] is there a list of all the terminal commands to find out whats happening within a system? [21:43] ActionParsnip, like those invisible dlls... in windows. [21:43] john38: the same :D [21:43] allright.. so I somehow landed in the recovery mode now.. I got a text menu, probably because I resetted [21:43] do I have to select failsafex [21:43] oder shell [21:43] probably shell [21:43] ActionParsnip, ok i didnt see .disk [21:44] ActionParsnip, folder [21:44] salsero: once in a root recovery mode, if you run: dpkg -l | grep nvidia you can remove the driver [21:44] <[thor]> salsero: failesavex is akin to "Windows SafeMode" [21:45] salsero: if you scroll to the bottom of the options, you will see root [21:45] hi do i have to install win7 on the first partition? so it would be a problem to install linux first? [21:45] I did the grep thing [21:45] now it lists some drivers [21:46] anyone here in #java ? can I get an invite please ? [21:46] now what [21:46] i THOUGHT ubuntu did away with shit lke this.. this is regression [21:47] salsero: Please mind your language, thanks. [21:47] ciao a tutti [21:47] so how do I deselect them [21:47] ?? [21:48] <[thor]> salsero: apt-get remove >>packagename<< [21:49] i see modaliasis and "find obsolte nivdia driver" and "current modealiasis", but now nvidie driver package [21:50] !list [21:50] 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 » [21:50] now = no [21:53] it started now [21:53] in low graphics mode [21:53] fucking ati and linux suck together [21:53] hey guys, I use BURG as my bootloader, and after I boot, a whole bunch of text comes up before my desktop appears and its really ugly. How do I get the text to go away [21:53] but i guess so does nvidia [21:54] burg? never heard of it [21:54] yeah [21:54] but only in 10.10 [21:54] am I able to setup a sw RAID1 when one of the drives already has data on it? [21:54] Hi Ubuntu promo wallpapers >>>>>>> http://twitpic.com/photos/superlinuxmg [21:55] tweedle, screenie http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s1OLFTHL8Og/TCT6DhA48TI/AAAAAAAAAbo/Wqv2g1lPlqE/s1600/Radiance_for_Grub_2_BURG_by_shafin.png [21:55] bryce: maybe it would be the same as grub and u add "quiet splash" to the kernel line in the config file [21:55] this will take me hours.. I am disappointed at ubuntu now actually... nvidia is like the best graphics manufacturer, and it does not work it is notl ike I have a exotic card [21:55] Could I get some help with my Ubuntu Lucid? [21:55] All of a sudden, empathy uses a long time to open chat windows with some certain people and it has stopped logging conversations with them (msn protocol) after a specific date. I'm thinking this has to do with the history. Is there any way to purge the history? [21:55] ok ill try that [21:55] ultimaxtreme, ask away [21:55] salsero: sometimes it works, sometimes not [21:55] I can't get KDE on my Session list [21:55] salsero: stepped out for a ciggy [21:56] ultimaxtreme, do you have it installed? [21:56] ultimaxtreme: did u install kde? [21:56] lol [21:56] :p [21:56] u should just upgrade to Kubuntu [21:56] :D [21:56] for kde [21:56] ... I dunno. I don't remember having to install it manually before [21:56] ubuntu installs Gnome by default. kubuntu installs kde [21:57] was it kubuntu? [21:57] no [21:57] ya [21:57] maybe it was gnome [21:57] you'll have to install kde then [21:57] hello [21:57] ? [21:57] hi travis [21:57] kde suck [21:57] hey tweedle [21:57] kde sucks [21:57] !boot [21:57] gnome <3 [21:57] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [21:57] I installed Ubuntu 10.04 a few months ago on an old Pentium 4 and it had GNOME and KDE pre-installed [21:57] i hate everything, it ALL SUCKS!!! [21:57] or just upgrade to kubuntu cuz having gnome and kde on the same pc is problematic [21:57] lol [21:58] Hi! [21:58] ultimaxtreme, ubuntu does not come with KDE pre-installed [21:58] KDE can be installed [21:58] on ubuntu [21:58] I install it on this new AMD computer, and only GNOME is there [21:58] its added [21:58] just install kde then if you want it [21:58] maybe when u install before, the kde flag was there [21:58] because you install Ubuntu, which defaults to gnome, Kubuntu defaults to KDE [21:59] did u install from wubi? [21:59] if you want to get kde you can go to synaptic package manager and install kubuntu-desktop package [21:59] ultimaxtreme: was the first time an upgrade or a windows install of ubuntu? [21:59] Well, first, which is better? [21:59] its up to you [22:00] in my opinion gnome cuz it makes more sense, but if you come from a windows background KDE might be better [22:00] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde [22:00] for more info on getting KDE on ubuntu 10.10 [22:00] Tweedle: I guess an upgrade, though I had CD installation. I had a copy of 7.04 and just installed it. [22:00] ultimaxtreme: to install kde, type this in the terminal: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop package [22:00] Then found it was out of support [22:00] exit [22:01] So I got my brother to burn me Ubuntu 10.04, and installed it. So, i assume upgrade [22:01] hi [22:01] ActionParsnip: hi [22:01] ActionParsnip: hi [22:01] administrador: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:01] ultimaxtreme, i would clean install that but its up to you [22:01] @ultimaxtreme why not get 10.10? [22:01] ultimaxtreme: You'll want to install "kubuntu-desktop" if you want KDE in addition to GNOME. If you just want KDE (and no gnome) you're better off downloading a Kubuntu CD [22:01] ultimaxtreme, and did you ask which was better kde or gnome? [22:02] coz_: yes [22:02] ultimaxtreme, on older systems gnome [22:02] every time I use a kde app somehow it crashes!!!! the only good thing about kde is k3b [22:02] get the live cd, or install the disc image to your usb and delete your current ubuntu provision and reinstall to 10.10 [22:02] ultimaxtreme, kde can be somewhat of a resource hog on older systems [22:02] Not mie === moshe is now known as Moshe_A [22:02] coz: you mean it's bloated [22:02] !best [22:02] ultimaxtreme, and if you want to choose you can also download and burn the minimal install cd 12 megs [22:02] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:02] I got an AMD Athlon 2.8GHz X4 [22:02] well, kde worked with my ati video card. gnome wont give me 3d [22:03] xorg wtfe [22:03] ultimaxtreme, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:03] ActionParsnip: hi, i installed the openchrome driver... [22:03] hi i'm having issues with banshee, and it just crashes... can someone decipher this terminal log for me? http://pastebin.com/mGZmAi1y [22:03] what irc are you guys using? [22:03] salsero: yuo can install k3b in gnome, yuo will install a few qt libs as dependancies but you can use it in gnome === randy is now known as Guest3304 [22:03] administrador: sweet :) wtg! [22:03] travis_: this is not a poll channel [22:03] ultimaxtreme, that is not a live cd but at one point you get a list of things you can install..ubuntu desktop,,,kubuntu desktop edubuntu desktop etc etc ec ,,arrows scroll the list and space bar ticks the box [22:03] ActionParsnip: but the mouse cursor dont works fine ... [22:03] I think I'll just get the kubuntu package added with this one [22:04] ultimaxtreme, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop should do the trick then [22:04] ot it [22:04] Uhh.. missing package...

[22:07] administrador: its in /etc/x11/xorg.conf [22:07] administrador, xorg.conf no longer exists unless you specify it. DBUS handles it. [22:07] its supposed to be, i can find it tho [22:07] ahhh explains it [22:07] administrador: /etc/X11/xorg.conf like all Linuxes. Ubuntu doesnt ship with one by default but smoe video cards need one [22:08] my 3d doesnt work [22:08] do i can create one? [22:09] administrador, if you need one. [22:09] hi, all. I just installed 10.10 using the alternate CD to a hard drive with a /boot partition in sda1 and an encrypted partition at sda5. Then I set up the encrypted partition as a physical volume to LVM2, so my root filesystem is /dev/mapper/vg00-root. But after I reboot, I don't get prompted for a password to decrypt sda5, and the system throws me to a initram shell after complaining of being unable to find root filesystem. My guess is that some stuff go [22:09] t missing from the initram disk, but i have no idea where to fix it. any hints? [22:09] Okay, i don't have time for the kubuntu pack. can I just get a code to the main KDE system itself? [22:10] ok, it is the pack u need [22:10] ultimaxtreme: Including all of the kde-type programs in a 'standard' kde install? or just the K Desktop Environment itself? (or plasma, or whatever, depending on version) [22:10] the environment itself. [22:10] just install the packagee [22:10] level15: reinstall the kernel having issue, yuo may need to boot to an older kernel to fix it [22:10] Tweedle: I don't have time [22:10] are the Firefox4 betas available for ubuntu natty? [22:11] well then u dont have kde [22:11] I have to disconnect soon [22:11] My office phone broke, is there a package out there that would let me plug my phone line into my modem card and let me essentially use a mic and the software to make/recieve calls from my computer? [22:11] ActionParsnip, thanks for your advice, but i can't reinstall the kernel since i can't boot at all [22:11] does anyone know if I can setup a software RAID1 using mdadm on 2 drives where one of the drives has data on it already? (I don't want to lose any of the data) [22:11] mattgyver: its called google [22:11] ultimaxtreme: kde-minimal [22:11] magic jack [22:11] level15: hold shift at boot, select an older kernel [22:11] well, my mouse cursor dont is a normal cursor... at the place of cursos mouse have a big rectangle with pink lines that are blink [22:11] lol [22:12] Tweedle: "google" is not an appropriate answer. Don't be rude. [22:12] ActionParsnip, hm, system is just installed, my guess is that it only has the default installation kernel, no? [22:12] mattgyver: Do you have a voice modem? or just a data/fax modem? [22:12] hola ActionParsnip [22:13] Flannel, I have a voice modem around here, i wasnt sure if something like ekiga or asterisk might work for this purpose [22:13] administrador: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221122 may help [22:13] hi I just try to change the permission in one of my file. I used chmod 777 filename it show no error but when i used ls -l to check then it stay with the same old permission. Can some one help please? [22:13] level15: that'd make sense, you may need to boot to liveCD to then chroot to the installed OS and upgrade]# [22:13] mattgyver: I imagine it'd be asterisk, not ekiga. But there might be other software to do just that without all the overhead. I'm sure there's something though. [22:14] Flannel, yeah ive been searching around but havent come across anything as of yet. But i guess google voice may be a viable option though as i use it anyway.. [22:14] ActionParsnip, will try that, thanks [22:16] Hey, i changed my graphic environment, how do i change it back to the gnome environment with the command line [22:17] u have to install it i guess, with apt-get [22:17] why use the command line when you can just check the bottom of the screen at log-in ? [22:17] i still have it, but i switched the one on my account that automatically boots with the flawed one [22:17] ActionParsnip: How i can test one parameter from xorg config whitout restart the session?

[22:25] ikonia, i was talking to someone else [22:25] same thing [22:26] nothing works [22:26] stevo_: thats fine, as long as you don't think grub will change your desktop environment [22:26] Stam, you may have some serious grub problems [22:26] I dont see how. [22:26] !grub|stam [22:26] stam: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [22:26] i JUST INSTALLED IT FRESHLU [22:26] srry for caps [22:27] Stam, that's a good thing, that means you can re install without losing much [22:27] Stevo_ but I did,lol [22:27] Stam, do you have enough harddrive space free? [22:27] its the 6th time [22:27] 250gb :) [22:27] No, no diea what that is :P - The install has gone through, however I am up to the part where you enter your username and password which I have done, yet the forward button is still greyed out === jenkinbr is now known as squishy [22:27] your cd might be corrupt? [22:28] I burned it to 2 different ones [22:28] one of them were new [22:28] I have filled out everything and there are all green ticks, however still cannot get passed it [22:28] stam when u have the cd in the live cd deal, select check cd for errors [22:28] Hi, my 093a:2700 Pixart Imaging, Inc. webcam was working on 10.04 and now doesn't in 10.10. Searching I found I need UVC driver installed, but according the website http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#download it already comes since 2.6.26 kernel. So, which step I need to follow to fix it ? lsusb list it, but skype or cheese not ... How can I check if the module is working? [22:28] ActionParsnip: HI!!! We won!! :) [22:28] lsmod [22:28] i used to use memorex, and they always ALWAYS had errors [22:29] stevo_ dont use the max speed, set it slower [22:29] ActionParsnip: i create a new xorg.conf with the device with openchrome and de swcursor equals "true" [22:29] Tweedle, i tried everything with them, including speeds [22:29] administrador: awesome :). It's a bit of a pain those chrome video chips [22:30] ActionParsnip: then the mouse cursor is correctly displayed now [22:30] stevo_ is this cd checking possible with 10.10 live cd? [22:30] administrador: i suggest you post on ubuntuforums to share the knowledge. It may help others :) [22:30] ActionParsnip: :) thanks a lot [22:30] ActionParsnip: my english dont help ... ;) [22:31] administrador: it's all good [22:31] Stam, i thought so, but i may be wrong, i haven't used a live cd since karmic alpha [22:31] Stam, for ubuntu anyways [22:31] hmmm [22:32] Stam, i am positive there is somewhere for checking errors somewhere on that disk, you could also check the md5 [22:32] hi [22:32] !md5|stam [22:32] stam: 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 [22:32] Hey, i changed my graphic environment, how do i change it back to the gnome environment with the command line [22:33] if i want to install ubuntu without preinstalled software ? what have I to do ? just use alternate cd ? [22:33] you mean restore desktop [22:33] stevo_: you log out and change to gnome than log back in [22:33] jymere, yes [22:34] jiohdi, i can't though, how do i log out when the defective environment is a blank screen [22:34] ActionParsnip: I will give this computer to a poor child here in Brazil, then you helped A child to have poor chance of getting to know linux [22:34] ok thanks I'll try [22:34] jymere, i think lubuntu has something like that [22:34] stevo_: you can't reboot? [22:34] jymere: use the minimal ISo and you can build up as you wish. [22:34] ActionParsnip: thanks a google translator for last sentence :) [22:34] ok so I need some help, I need to know what my resolution is on my laptop. because its seems that the screen is "clearer" than before, also it looks like the font read on top is different? any ideas [22:34] jiohdi, only through command line, which i have, and nothing changes [22:34] administrador: plus you learned a little about the OS, which is always good :D [22:34] can anyone help me figure out why banshee keeps crashing? -> http://pastebin.com/tTTjRnTU [22:35] stevo, maybe I could mention this [22:35] jiohdi, it automatically logs in with the bad environment [22:35] I plugged in my windows hd [22:35] stevo_: control+alt+f1 and then sudo -s password, reboot [22:35] oh [22:35] could that be a reason [22:35] hello [22:35] by all and thanks !!! [22:35] even though I asked the bios to boot from the usb HD [22:36] jiohdi, i know how to reboot, but not how to switch graphic environment through command line [22:36] stevo_: sorry [22:36] Stam, unplug the darn thing [22:36] stevo_ thats internal though [22:36] the ubuntu is on the usb hard drive [22:37] and the pc is supposed to boot from the USB first [22:37] I set it to do it [22:37] Stam, well the grub is for permanent drives, not usb as far as i know [22:37] is the USB harddrive actually a bootable drive, though? [22:37] Yes [22:38] yeah, is it set bootable with a flag? stam? [22:38] 9.10 installed ok [22:38] In irssi, how do I get cap_sasl.pl to identify automatically? [22:38] Olathe: http://blinkenshell.org/wiki/Howto/IRC [22:39] anyone know how to install a pp stream plugin for totem [22:39] #irssi === Lenin_Cat is now known as Zombie_Lenin [22:40] is there a a server channel? [22:40] this is such nonsense [22:40] !server [22:40] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [22:40] 9.10 installed fine [22:40] and I was running it yesturday [22:40] Stam: reinstall? [22:40] using the same installation procedure [22:41] reinstall 9.10? [22:41] how do i uninstall using apt [22:41] stevo_: apt-get remove or aptitude remove [22:41] jiodhi what do you mean reinstall [22:42] Stam: in the beginning I had loads of problems, reinstalled about a dozen times [22:42] #ubuntu-server is the server channel [22:42] stevo_: sudo apt-get remove packagename [22:42] since 10.4 everything has been super stable though [22:42] jiohdi wat did you do to fix it [22:42] just kept plugging along until massive failures and then reinstalls. [22:43] but I have not had to do a single reinstall since 10.4, 10.10 is even better [22:44] ok im going to tro 10.04 [22:44] try [22:44] Stam: I suppose it also helped that I replaced my ancient computer with some newer stuff [22:44] my pc is not ancient [22:44] its a 3.2 HT [22:44] mine was [22:45] but now I am using a acer revo nettop [22:45] $199 [22:45] Linux does need big requiremnts right [22:45] Stam: no. [22:45] what do you mean by big? [22:46] sort of the opposite. you will find it running on the most limited devices [22:46] Stam: but gnome and compiz does :) [22:46] like fast cpu [22:46] Stam: it can if you want, or it can be very light indeed [22:46] uninstalling the stupid window manager fixed everything [22:46] linux can run on very minimal systems, ubuntu may need a bit more though [22:46] hello [22:46] thank you all [22:46] i deleted maverick repositories [22:46] i need to add them again [22:46] Stam: no, a coppermine 900mhz wouldb be fine, even a 150mhz arm would be ok [22:46] fluxbox is great for making ubuntu more minumal [22:47] i have a shared library problem. mythbackend: error while loading shared libraries: libmythtv-0.23.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [22:47] im using a coppermine right now and it works great [22:47] cryptik: here is my sources.list file http://pastebin.com/yzaAeRtk [22:47] ikonia, thanks for the help, you were right, they just extracted to a folder, then i had to run the install on one of the files [22:47] cool [22:47] I ran puppy linux on a 256MB system without any problems [22:47] Stam: minimal ubuntu + LXDE is incredibly light [22:47] I dislike osd, does anyone know of a guide to removing it and setting things up to use libnotify or the like instead? [22:47] ubuntu on 500MB [22:47] stevo_: openbox is nicer if you have a panel preference [22:47] yea, i have gentoo going on a 256mb and it runs great === mquin- is now known as mquin [22:47] Stam: using light apps makes the CPU labour less so will make the OS more power efficient [22:47] aeon-ltd, ill try it out [22:48] well [22:48] stevo_: i used tint2, to cut down on deps but i've seeb others use docks etc [22:48] *seen [22:48] yup [22:48] my sound logo on the task bar is missing, although there seemes to be a placeholder for it. This happened after I reinstalled ubuntu from an iso [22:48] deps? [22:48] I managed to get XP running well on Pentium II's with 256 mb RAM [22:48] stevo_: dependencies [22:48] ah [22:48] action : how to add htem [22:49] nixnoob: now that is impressive [22:49] im new on ubuntu [22:49] nixnoob: nlite'd? [22:49] nope, regular winXP installs [22:49] one machine even only had a Tseng Labs 6 mb video card. lol [22:49] hi can anyone help me out? im trying to setup a logitech dinovo edge bluetooth keyboard in 10.10, i can get through the pairing process, and it says paired successfully, but the keyboard does not work. I used to run 9.10, and the keyboard worked in that version [22:49] i have 256 ram, and this runs way better with ubuntu than xp [22:50] still managed to squeeze 24 bit true color out of it [22:50] nixnoob: theres tinyxp which needs few resources (but is a bit offtopic ;)) [22:50] I think it had a lot to do with having the SSE-enabled PII [22:50] I can't get my nvidia card to work under ubuntu 10.10 [22:50] i have an 10 gb harddrive a coppermine 800 and 256 mb of ram and im loving xubuntu [22:50] salsero: what card? [22:50] yea xfce is great [22:50] salsero, ur not the only one [22:50] I just upgraded again [22:51] I'm using a Geforce4 440 MX SE ;) [22:51] get abigger harddive [22:51] Hello,i need some help. i moved from windows to ubuntu about a month ago, I had it first installed on a ntfs partition and everything seemed to work fine,yesterday i decided to install it on ext4 and i`ve been having some problems with my nvidia graphic card driver,it installs and works great but everytime i reboot it won't let me startx without deleting xorg.cfg first [22:51] shado`, me? [22:51] got Compiz effects working, set the TV as a seperate X server display, etc. [22:51] yes [22:51] shado`, why so? [22:52] mihai_: can you please pastebin xorg.conf [22:52] updates daily can use it up quickly [22:52] what card are you using, salsero? and do you normally use the nvidia-96 drivers package? there is an updated driver now from nVidia, but I don't think it's hit the repositories yet [22:52] How do I select which Java (Sun or OpenJDK) Firefox uses? [22:52] shado`, use ubuntu tweak to cut the extra usage in half [22:52] Is is just the update-alternatives command? [22:52] ok for now I guess [22:53] alkisg, are you there? [22:53] ubuntu tweak is the best cleaning program (other than bleachbit) ever [22:53] paddy_, what do you mean ? i just deleted it to be able to startx,sorry i`m trying to learn as fast as i can :-) [22:53] you can pick one up at computer recyclers for $20. [22:53] shades, 20 is too much [22:53] rofl [22:53] hah [22:54] well, you can pick one up from outside someone's house when they throw out an old machine for nothing ;) [22:54] shado`, i got this comp for free, from someone throwing it out because it was old [22:54] haha [22:54] yup [22:54] point in case [22:54] coincidence!!!! [22:54] mihai_: when you boot up, instead of deleting it, move it to xorg.cfg.bak then go on pastebin.com and upload the file and tell me the link it gives you [22:54] Is is just the update-alternatives command?

[22:54] err [22:54] nixnoob, you mean pick one up from the garbage. [22:54] nixnoob, that's cheap. [22:54] yagoo: same thing [22:55] ok,thanks ,be back in a sec [22:55] yagoo that's basically what i done [22:55] yagoo: it's cheap, but effective. stupid people throw out some very serviceable hardware these days [22:55] nixnoob, totally [22:55] so does anyone have an idea why, for postgresql with a map reading `testrunner dan postgres` (where dan is my system username) in my pg_ident.conf, and an otherwise default config, why `sudo -u postgres psql` succeeds, and `PGUSER=postgres psql` fails? I've tried reloading and restarting my postgres server... [22:56] nixnoob: yeah, new pc buyers are extravagant these days [22:56] I think there would be plenty of people throwing out machines like the one I use now... just because it's a few years old. I can run windows 7 on it, but not brilliantly, due to the old graphics card. [22:56] stay away from windows: backdoors [22:56] i went to the dump, and see a row of plasma tv's and a row of computers, and a row of bikes, all need some fixing but very minimal fixing. I ask the guy if i can have one, and he says they are getting recycled! dang! [22:56] I never had a problem with malware on windows, but I knew what I was doing [22:56] we don't care about wincoz here [22:57] hi guys [22:57] windows is a great system for people who know nothing of linux [22:57] viuses, trojans, easily hacked [22:57] windows does have its strengths when it comes to "just working out of the box" [22:57] shado`, that's not *always* true. just in most cases [22:57] * yagoo thinks nixnoob is cheap. [22:57] nixnoob: if you have all the drivers [22:57] nixnoob: yeah and the huge range of free, but proprietry, software [22:58] only about 5-10% of users employ linux: much safer [22:58] hi guys really i need help [22:58] aeon-ltd: now you're talking. [22:58] How do you start ubuntu one client? [22:58] shado`, that i a high number - 5% [22:58] yagoo: Why do you think I'm "cheap", and even if I were, what's wrong with that? [22:58] CaneToad: run: ubuntuone-client-gtk it should run (afaik) [22:58] ditto [22:58] " windows does have its strengths" [22:58] eh (sic) [22:58] nixnoob: we sicilians find it a badge of wisdom :) [22:58] shado`: i think its a lot less than that, i doubt anywhere close to 10% [22:58] How do I select which Java Firefox uses? [22:59] how i can configure xorg.conf for Nvidia 310M and Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit? [22:59] really ? [22:59] sarem: what seems to be the problem [22:59] anyone know how to configure an openvpn client file for a pptp connection. Im clueless of which options to use [22:59] can anyone point me in the direction of a good podcast downloader for command line? [22:59] yagoo, i find it as making money off of other's waste [22:59] sarem: if you have the proprietary driver installed you can run: sudo nvidia-xconfig and get a skeleton file, which you can then tweak [22:59] Kerrick, type about:plugins in the URL bar in firefox [22:59] you can sell old computers from the dump for 30 buck each if you fix them [22:59] I spent over $2000 on my machine in 2004, I don't see any real point to spending more when the hardware I have is still perfectly good [22:59] you can enable/disable all that in there [22:59] nixnoob: hear hear! [22:59] shado`: even with home users and server users it would never reach 10% of all pcs in the world [23:00] that is Australian dollars, though [23:00] ...which are now worth slightly more than $US [23:00] lol [23:00] anyone know firefox [23:00] although they weren't at the time [23:00] can you undo a deleted bookmark [23:00] nixnoob: i get people's castoffs and make them into servers and such [23:00] Autoclesis: yes [23:00] i download NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.21 from nvidia web site and installed it in text mode [23:00] nixnoob: yeah, personally i think its just the myth and propaganda that hardware degrades over time [23:00] ActionParsnip: which package does ubuntuone-client-gtk reside in? I've got ubuntuone-client-gnome installed and that ubuntuone-client-gtk does not exist. [23:00] yes autoclesis [23:00] paddy can you undo a deleted bookmark? [23:00] ActionParsnip: I used to do that a lot [23:00] we all know firefox [23:00] simple q , i know [23:00] but when im restart ubuntu get problem [23:00] Autoclesis: i dont think so [23:00] fatal screen error [23:00] okay [23:01] CaneToad: i believe there is an item on the gnomebar in the top right, you can connect there afaik, i dont use it, i use dropbox [23:01] Autoclesis: try looking in your history [23:01] Autoclesis, you need a recovery prog though [23:01] aeon-ltd: heating cooling and aging can lead to hardware failures [23:01] yeah, okay. thank you paddy_ and stevo_ [23:01] there's a few open source recovery progs [23:01] pleas any solution for this problem? [23:01] well, you take my recent nvidia/xorg problem... nothing wrong with the hardware, and really nothing wrong with the nvidia driver (apart from being proprietary :P) but the newer xorg-server did something to lose the compatibility [23:01] it's just one bookmark. heh [23:01] jiohdi: but cleaning a case every couple of months can offset that [23:01] Autoclesis, do u use ext3? [23:01] im tired from it 2 days im tried [23:01] ActionParsnip gave you one sarem [23:01] i don't know what ext3 is [23:02] file system [23:02] Autoclesis: a filesystem [23:02] aeon-ltd: if just one bit fails, it can be hard to track down even if everything else is fine [23:02] do u use ubuntu Autoclesis ? [23:02] yes [23:02] hi, i have a problem with playing amr-audio. i added the mediabuntu repository and installed the libs. if i do: "mplayer -ac help | grep amr" it returns "ffamrnb ffmpeg working AMR Narrowband [libamr_nb] & ffamrwb ffmpeg working AMR Wideband [libamr_wb]" but it still wont play the audio because: "Cannot find codec 'libamr_nb' in libavcodec... [etc.]" [23:02] u might have it [23:02] seems like you should have 'undo' for bookmark delete [23:02] the nvidia guys were a bit slow to issue a newer driver for the nvidia-96 set, but now they have, everything's up-to-date and working perfectly [23:02] i haven't a clue [23:02] it's not the end of the world [23:02] ActionParsnip: nothing on the gnome bar at the top right for me, just pidgin, bluetooth, pulse audio, and networking, even though I have long had ubuntuone-client-gnome installed [23:02] jiohdi: yeah, i suppose a standard user wouldn't be inclined to save old machines [23:02] what he give me? [23:02] aeon-ltd: or have a clue [23:02] Autoclesis, look in your recently bookmarked list === shanestephens_ is now known as shans [23:03] yeah! [23:03] sarem: 22:59 < ActionParsnip> sarem: if you have the proprietary driver installed you can run: sudo nvidia-xconfig and get a skeleton file, which you can then tweak [23:03] Autoclesis, firefox backs up old bookmarks as jsods [23:03] putrefaction, that page is non-interactive, although it does indicate that I'm using IcedTea. I need to determine whether Firefox is using OpenJDK or Sun's Java, and I need to be able to switch between the two. [23:03] Autoclesis: strange statement [23:03] I've known people to insist they need a whole new machine because "it's so slow", when all they needed was to get a clue and not be so malware infested. [23:03] thx [23:03] okay. [23:03] why is it so hard to connect to a windows 7 ultimate 64bit share from ubuntu 10.10, my windows 7 share is setup to not require a user name and password, I can connect to my windows 7 share from windows xp but when I try from ubuntu it asks for a user name and password [23:04] anyone know a good podcast command line program? [23:04] Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". [23:04] Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' [23:04] New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' [23:04] !btrfs [23:04] you know the sort... the people that insisted on installing the bonzi buddy stuff, despite being TOLD that it was causing their problems [23:04] Autoclesis, look in your home folder>.mozilla>firefox>profile.XXXxXX>bookmarkbackups [23:04] Does ubuntu have location coordinates indicator for the toolbar? [23:04] i use sudo nvidia-xconfig and it make xorg.conf [23:05] paddy_, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/532005/ [23:05] okay, thanks stevo_ [23:05] DJJeff|Ubuntu: i found a page earlier which said that if windows live messanger is installed it makes connecting a pain [23:05] If anyone know if that is possible please let mek now. [23:05] Autoclesis, something like that should help [23:05] gracias [23:05] when installing ubuntu.iso to the USB will it be exacly as the live-cd?

[23:06] have anybody had a sudden discharge problem in ubuntu 10.10 [23:06] I think thats the problem [23:06] DJJeff|Ubuntu: i think it's just it being installed [23:06] odd [23:06] it tries to start it but then it crashes [23:06] windows needs to fix this [23:07] is there a program like itunes for ubuntu?rn [23:07] pupuser294ef4: rythmbox [23:07] live messenger should not break samba shares [23:07] spelling?

[23:07] !find rythm [23:07] File rythm found in autoconf-archive, jwchat, libtrilinos, libtrilinos-dbg, libtrilinos-dev [23:07] DJJeff|Ubuntu: i'm only quoting this guy: Next I uninstalled the actual Windows Live Messenger client and voila . I was able to connect with no prompting for passwords at all. Because that makes -any- sense [23:07] he already doesnt have acces to others user folder, but he can go outside home [23:08] !find rythmbox [23:08] DJJeff|Ubuntu: worth a try, just to test [23:08] !rythmbox [23:08] ráá [23:08] File rythmbox found in jwchat [23:08] Ironicus: they can't edit anything anyway so why limit them?

Samba uses the standard samba. [23:09] I vote for proper syncing instead of drag and drop [23:09] papuser: I don know [23:09] yeah proper syncing [23:09] we should complain to microsoft to fix their S*** [23:09] DJJeff|Ubuntu: think they'll listen?

[23:10] DJJeff|Ubuntu: there's amsn too [23:10] I'm betting the guys working on the samba packages will work out what M$ have done anyway [23:10] i got a sony walkman right here! [23:10] 16 GB [23:11] Autoclesis, good way for everyone to ignore you. [23:11] Ironicus: i suppose you would give the user no read access outside ~/ via chmod [23:11] amsn for windows ? [23:11] who else uses a tape player? [23:11] nobody. [23:11] why is everyone hating on the walkman [23:11] yes, amsn runs under windows too [23:11] Autoclesis: so do I and it is useless [23:11] Autoclesis: Just wait until they get started on the discman! :O === Zombie_Lenin is now known as Lenin_Cat [23:11] i also got the clip [23:11] compact discs are a fad [23:12] it's too damn small, the clip+ [23:12] like anything else [23:12] Microsoft must be so pissed off over the kinekt driver, they told the media that they implemented safguards to prevent it but two days later and the bounty has gone!!! [23:12] Autoclesis: walkmans rock :) [23:12] :0 [23:12] nixnoob: grrrr diskman [23:12] the walkman battery lasts a long time [23:12] how do you chmod just for 1 user [23:13] paddy_: diskman for data = awesome [23:13] i dare say it may last longer than the ipod battery [23:13] :-( [23:13] same problem [23:13] in fact, it does [23:13] chmod 777 folder username? [23:13] btw, for some reason, although I've installed and am using (without incident, everything is fine, compiz effects, 2D and 3D acceleration) the newest nvidia-96 drivers from ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.19/ with Maverick and the newer X server, for some reason Ubuntu's "Additional Drivers" does not detect it at all. [23:13] Ironicus: you will need to make it the owner, or change the group ownership to the user, what are you modifying? [23:13] The only way to buy music is CD's why would I pay for a highly compressed DRM infseted copy when for a few pence more i can get high fidality bliss? [23:13] Ironicus: 777 is a REALLY bad idea [23:14] paddy_: WRONG. You can buy vinyl for a lot of stuff. [23:14] :P [23:14] ahha 777 was just an exemple [23:14] 8track [23:14] plus, vinyl has a much greater range than CD's [23:14] Welll [23:15] well, yeah, I suppose 8 track too, analogue always has a range advantage over digital [23:15] i liked it when an audiocassette stretched out and altered the music [23:15] I am also not able to tgravel between folders using the ocnsole [23:15] lol [23:15] if I write ls or cd it does nothing [23:15] whoa [23:16] over 1000 [23:16] backslash ? [23:16] Autoclesis: I wonder what happens if you stretch the magnetic strip of tape with a DAT machine [23:16] heh. [23:16] ActionParsnip; hi [23:16] gabriel@Dumbledoor:~$ [23:16] well... Digital Audio Tape, but you could still have tape stretch... I wonder what happens [23:16] in the movie Strange Days, the virtual reality "clips" are on a DAT-like thingie [23:17] boy they messed up the futurism on that [23:17] is there anything wrong with aliasing 'less' to 'less -R'? [23:17] CD's were possible in the late 50's, although in the analogue format... ie. LaserDisc [23:17] why wont my ubuntu live cd boot in my pentium 4 machine? [23:18] like it loads [23:18] and gives me the choice screen [23:18] yazdmich: how much RAM have you got? [23:18] not sure [23:18] that's not a good sign [23:18] yazdmich, did u burn that cd on that machine? [23:19] it took windows xp about 5-10 minutes to boot before it got corrupted [23:19] no [23:19] yazdmich, no to what question? [23:19] Any idea why I can't travel in folders? [23:19] nmind.. [23:19] Am I at the good place [23:19] yazdmich: typical [23:19] he doesnt' know how to use irc [23:19] gabriel@Dumbledoor:~$ [23:19] sounds like a bad disc or maybe you have something wrong with your RAM, but you haven't given us enough details to definitively solve your problem [23:19] its burner stopped working a long time before === sarem is now known as nOob [23:20] i would answer if everyone stopped asking me questions === nOob is now known as sarem [23:20] 1 person at a atime [23:20] * yazdmich has aspergers [23:20] yazdmich, it could be the cd media not compatible with the drive.. thats why some folks use usb-- they dump the image to usb, if your bios supports usb-boot [23:20] nevar [23:20] this is Multiplayer Notepad [23:20] lol [23:21] i have tried a good windows recovery console iso on usb, it will boot [23:21] watch out ofr bots [23:21] but it stops [23:21] sometimes you have to mess with the bootloader though. My Ubuntu 10.10 usb wouldn't boot until I messed with syslinux and set it manually. I still have to hit enter at the boot: prompt before it'll start loading [23:21] thats why i here [23:22] im trying ubuntu [23:22] for the first time [23:22] ok, good [23:22] i did try wubi on it before [23:22] it helps if you have a sound knowledge of your machine's hardware before you start trying out linux... [23:22] but it was 5 \ [23:23] GB of HDD space i needed more for other stuff [23:23] 777 the number of the beast [23:23] nixboob: exactly [23:23] trying to make an ubuntu livecd without gnome will apt-get remove gnome* on the livecd be sufficient to get a terminal on livecd? [23:23] my dad does know the machines inf [23:23] info [23:23] first linux I ever used was a Morphix live CD [23:23] and i know it has less than 1 GB of RAM [23:24] hi, i have a problem with playing amr-audio. i added the mediabuntu repository and installed the libs. if i do: "mplayer -ac help | grep amr" it returns "ffamrnb ffmpeg working AMR Narrowband [libamr_nb] & ffamrwb ffmpeg working AMR Wideband [libamr_wb]" but it still wont play the audio because: "Cannot find codec 'libamr_nb' in libavcodec... [etc.]". Anyone has an idea how to get that working? [23:24] has anybody had a sudden battery discharge in ubuntu 10.10? [23:24] yazdmich, to use the livesystem off the ubuntu cd-- u need at least 384megs.. dunno if this applies to the installer option.. [23:24] yazdmich: depending on how much less than 1 GB of RAM it has, you may encounter problems running it from a liveCD or USB [23:24] ram is for graphics mainly [23:24] wubi booted perfectly [23:24] he has a pentium.. i'm guessing he has 128 megs of ram. [23:25] pent 4 actually [23:25] well, ram is for everything when you're running from a live CD or USB [23:25] and a pretty bad gcard [23:25] sure, but what uses the most memory ? [23:25] depends what you're doing [23:26] could barely run windows at a steady pace [23:26] true, but that`s my viewpoint anyway [23:26] I can use massive amounts of RAM just running a fsck [23:26] and im talking about xp [23:26] yazdmich: it'll be enough [23:26] yazdmich, so try another cd-media.. or try the usb boot already [23:26] and don't talk about xp.. nobody cares [23:27] my dad never has time to make a bootable ubuntu usb for me [23:27] yagoo, sometimes you have a poor attitude [23:27] how old are you, yazdmich? [23:27] 13 [23:27] almost 14 [23:27] its simple [23:27] nixnoob, #xp to you fellow. Nobody wants to hear about winbloze here.. [23:27] why not, that`s why people switch to Ubuntu, isn`t it ? [23:27] I downloaded a .run file for the driver for my nvidia card, and I couldn't figure out how. So I went to system-administration-additional drivers. And it showed the first version of my nvidia drivers, it showed my chipsets, and it showed the recommended nvidia driver. I clicked to activate the recommended nvidia driver, and it downloaded and installed the updates and then it prompted a restart. After the restart, I'm at the command line [23:27] Can anyone help me? [23:28] oO [23:28] nived: did you download the files from ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.19/ ? [23:28] O_O [23:28] less than 2 moths away [23:28] months* [23:28] yazdmich: have you got any experience with using a command line interface? ie. a DOS prompt? [23:28] nived you execute that .run file === marc is now known as Guest830 [23:28] in terminal [23:28] sorta [23:28] i just googled 'linux graphic drivers', nixnoob [23:29] thanks, techhelper [23:29] On Ubuntu 10.10 x64 I tried to have it remeber my currently open apps (under the statup apps dialog) and now when I log in I get my background and nothing else. I already cleared out ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session to no avail. Ideas? [23:29] hi..as soon as I installed the nvidia driver, the fonts get reaaaaly small...how do I solve this? [23:29] Is there a seperate network install image? [23:29] nived: it's generally a good idea to know roughly what you're installing [23:29] but my issue right now is how to get my DE back up again [23:29] i have run ping tests, ran CHKDSK on a usb, and a few other things [23:29] nived: Was the file "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.19-pkg0.run" ? [23:30] no. it was nvidia-linux-x86-2260-19-21-run [23:30] .run* [23:31] nived: Did you execute that file in a terminal? [23:31] hi [23:32] if have a big problem with ejabbed in ubuntu 10.04 as described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ejabberd/+bug/596676 [23:32] hi all, i'm working with ubuntu 10.04... could you please suggest me an application from ubuntu software center, which will allow me to rip cd's/dvd's to iso images? [23:32] I tried to but I couldn't figure out how. It never ran. So I went through system - administration - additional drivers, as i said [23:33] Wow, the official install guide has bad links for the installer images! [23:33] thanks for the help everyone good luck [23:33] does anyone knows a source for ejabberd 2.1.5 for lucid? [23:33] four releses out of date too. [23:33] jhutchins_lt2: Which guide is that? [23:34] nived: I think you'll need to reboot into Recovery mode, drop to a root shell prompt, make sure X isn't running (ps -ef | more) and execute that file as root (cd into the directory you downloaded the .run file to, and then type "sh nvidia-linux-x86-2260-19-21-run" to install it properly. It should give you the option of writing you a new xorg.conf and backing up your existing one [23:34] okay, excellent [23:34] who have problem with nvidia optimus? [23:34] i'll try that and come back if I can't figure it out [23:34] thank you nixnoob [23:34] no problem [23:34] Well,it appears to be a 6.10 specific guide. Is there a current or generic guide? [23:35] jhutchins_lt2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [23:35] bye [23:36] nixnoob u not have problem with nvidia optimus?! [23:36] nived: I forgot to mention that you might need to change runlevels, but the driver installation should warn you about that [23:36] nvidia optimus? [23:36] nvidia + intel VGA card [23:36] Think I found it. [23:36] Is the desktop CD a live CD? [23:36] jhutchins_lt2: Yes [23:37] thx. [23:37] sarem: I'm using an NVidia GeForce4 440 MX SE [23:38] im using NVIDIA 310M [23:38] and install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.21.run [23:38] but xorg.conf can't start [23:39] give me fatal screen error in beginning [23:39] in text mode :-( [23:39] a' [23:40] is it on freenode ? [23:40] ah ah [23:40] is it on freenode, Oh yeah [23:40] sarem: have you tried renaming the xorg.conf and booting without an xorg.conf ? [23:40] there isn't xorg.conf file in new ubuntu [23:40] if delete xorg.conf or renamed . no problem in booting [23:41] sarem: But you have the problem when you try using an nvidia-xsettings generated xorg.conf file? [23:41] yea [23:41] alright, stupid question - how do I get into recovery mode? i've tried holding shift and rapidly pressing escape during boot, and neither work [23:42] without xorg.conf all things is ok [23:42] nived: if you have GRUB, try putting capslock on, and holding shift down [23:42] i have no idea whether i have grub. if it doesn't come with 10.10, i don't have it. [23:42] have you tried pressing Esc before grub loads ubuntu? [23:43] bahax, i rapidly pressed escape continuously during boot. [23:43] nived, GRUB comes with ubuntu 10.10 by default [23:43] nixnoob pls help me [23:44] sarem: I'll paste you a copy of my xorg.conf, but mine is for a different card, and I run dual displays on seperate X servers, so you should modify it, but it might be a starting point. As I've just recently edited mine, I'm going to reboot and brb to make sure it's good before I paste you it. [23:44] Trying to decompress initrd.lz in the livecd image. unlzma initrd.lz doesn't work . wtf. so what kind of compression is this? [23:44] brb, gimme a minute [23:44] nived, I think there is a way changing /etc/default/grub to make the grub list always show, I'll check :) [23:45] ur xorg.conf for another model of nvidia VGA [23:45] k im w8 [23:45] ilab: squashfs === pez is now known as punkforpez [23:46] verified my xorg.conf with a reboot, I'll paste it for you, sarem [23:46] hello, i'm having some issues, i'm trying to update my system and keep getting Building complete list of updates ..

It takes me to the command line with a login. when I log in, it has me still at the command line. [23:48] how do I get into recovery mode? [23:48] sarem: here is my xorg.conf but you will need to change it to suit your card and whether or not you want 2 monitors on seperate X servers, etc. http://paste.ubuntu.com/532021/ [23:49] nived, hold shift down as computer starts to get the grub2 menu [23:49] mExIoUs: this is IRC, not AIM, post in complete sentences, please [23:49] tried that already [23:49] didn't work. [23:49] ok, this is what i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/532023/ [23:49] sarem: Please ignore line 79 in my xorg.conf, I should have deleted it, because it's commented out anyway [23:50] mExIoUs, "intrepid-updates" what version of Ubuntu are you using? [23:51] Ubuntu Linux 8.10 [23:51] it's actually a linuxmce distro which runs on top of Ubuntu Linux 8.10 [23:51] mExIoUs: You don't want to upgrade to 9.10 or 10.04 or even 10.10? [23:52] ok thanks nix i'll try it.. [23:53] nived: are you still unable to get into a Recovery mode boot? [23:53] i'm trying to update it, i have been on the linuxmce forums and found how to update, but when i try to run commands to install things it just throws the error for java, have tried removing java but get the same unresolved dependancies error [23:54] is there a way to fix those errors? [23:54] mExIoUs, sorry Ubuntu-derivatives are not supported here... [23:54] nived: Because you can do it from the regular boot at the command line, but you'll need to "sudo su" to root and then kill any X server that might be running before you install the nvidia driver [23:54] nixnoob in Device section ur BoardName "GeForce4 MX 440-SE" [23:54] mExIoUs: can you use http://pastie.org to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade thanks [23:55] but in my GeoForce 310M i can changed it or no? [23:55] sarem: Yes, I'm using a different card than you, you should change that to avoid confusion, but it won't actually make a difference to the driver, because it's just a name for that option [23:55] sarem: if you use the packages rather than the .run file, you'll have fewer issues [23:56] ActionParsnip: The nvidia packages don't always work out quite the way they should unfortunately.
