[00:00] How can I make an own ubuntu distribution? [00:00] Okay. [00:00] Firartix: xrandr -q to find your options; then: xrandr -s 1024x768 [00:00] Well, thanks for the help cousteau. [00:00] Bye. [00:00] josua, why would you want to do that? [00:00] vex_, anyway, the open source driver for your card should work ok,,, what do you get when you run glxinfo | grep render on a terminal? [00:01] o yea worked with -s [00:01] thanks alot VCoolio [00:01] you're welcome [00:01] i want to have my own OS [00:01] My cousins windows machine flunked out, the idea of hooking them to ubuntu bothers me though as I would have to support it, to be or not to be. [00:02] CensoredBiscuit, then don't do it? :-) [00:02] josua I think that's way off the ubuntu-topic [00:02] josua: jubuntu? [00:02] hahaha [00:02] Jubuntu [00:03] Its like Ubuntu, just a J at the beginning [00:03] no, maaybe something similar to the Ubuntu Christian edition [00:03] josua: look at remastersys for example [00:03] maybe HolyUbuntu, or HolyLinux... === marcos is now known as Guest93321 [00:03] Is that even around anymore? [00:04] yes, I think so [00:04] josua: check disto-watch, and yes, you can redistribute ubuntu base into "new" distro (do not expect to have support, tho) [00:04] I mean isn't a background and maybe a bible program enough? [00:05] yeah [00:05] amen [00:05] it would have to leave out gigolo when it's xfce based... [00:05] why no support? [00:05] I can't think of anything else a christain would need other than regular ubuntu [00:06] In the end josua computers are makings of evil [00:06] guys i cant seem to figure out how to get my synaptics touchpad working any ideas? [00:06] reall [00:06] yes, but they can be used also for good things [00:06] josua: there are even tools desinged to do it. No support because it is distro orientated, but if you do not drift far you can use same repos what base. [00:06] are you guys christians, or any of you? [00:06] running runlevel 3 in ubutnu would boot to console or still go to x login? [00:07] josua: yes, but that's offtopic === market|LeftfDead is now known as supermarket [00:08] sam-_-: I tried the combination you gave me and it responded rebooting the X login screen but still did not respond to keyboard or mouse or trackpad [00:08] Josua, I am.. but as far as my computer the idea of a christian ubuntu seems a bit unnecessary . I mean there are several good bible programs out there, what else would you nee? [00:08] pr0ph3t: still x, in ubuntu no difference except for 0 and 6 (or is it 1 and 6) [00:09] hey guys can someone give me a quick help-a-rino with something? [00:09] any reason why rsync -zxhvr would be rscyincing files that already exist in the destination dir? nothing has changed between the files either.. [00:09] guys can you take your fantasty relogious ubuntu version topic to #ubuntu-offtopic or another channel, this one is just for support [00:09] maybe religious icons, christian music or login sounds [00:09] josua: come my son (/join #ubuntu-offtopic), share the light of elightement. [00:09] sorry I was trying to answer his question, I got caught up. [00:09] i was wondering how to get the website packetfind.com working properly under ubuntu, so the links open in xchat? [00:10] such a bitch to xdcc now gotta do it manually [00:10] how can i start creating an own distro? [00:10] josua: that's not ontopic for this channel [00:10] josua, thats enough offtopic [00:10] do I have to do it with my installed version, or need to download source-codes first? === vividboarder is now known as vividboarder|lap [00:11] josua: please stop, it's not on-topic for this support channel [00:11] does any ubuntu professional know? [00:11] josua: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and ask robinetd, he'd love to help you. [00:11] VCoolio: so there is no way to avoid booting the X login. The keyboard seems to be recognised by the system as the escabe keys I tried alt+ SysRq + k worked somehow, but no responses on the login [00:12] can i speak with a manager? [00:12] TaZeR: what do you want [00:12] !ask |TaZeR [00:12] TaZeR: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:12] i was wondering how to get packetfind.com working with ubuntu, so the links open in xchat and connect me to the server instead of opening a blank page [00:12] ok, thanks [00:13] TaZeR: no idea, try in #xchat [00:13] sorry I disconnected [00:13] so no one here uses xdcc search engines with ubuntu? gotta be some pirates around here who can help [00:13] TaZeR: not going to discuss illegal activities, this is your only warning [00:13] Ok any newbie broplems here [00:14] buzz off ur a lamer [00:14] JeopardySholdenK: pardon ? [00:15] can someone lazy link me to offtopic [00:15] ikonia: I just want to make my small contribution ?:| ? [00:15] CensoredBiscuit: what ? [00:15] JeopardySholdenK: if someone needs help, they will ask for it [00:16] ikonia: ok [00:16] CensoredBiscuit: #ubuntu-offtopic you mean? [00:16] thank you [00:16] CensoredBiscuit: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [00:16] why do they do such silly things like remove easy access to the nautilus location bar? I just can't seen the sense in it :/ [00:18] is apt-xapian-index important? what would be the consequences of uninstalling it? [00:18] Howdy everyone, I'm looking for some kernel panic debugging guidance, I'm definitely starting to think it's a hardware issue but I'm trying to narrow down the component... I've tried memtest and that came back clean after 9 hours and 7 complete runs, so I doubt it's memory. What should be my next step? [00:19] hi guys [00:19] I have a question about compiz: is it possible to have translucent windows by default? [00:19] boss_mc: any patterns in the panic, or a regular "thing" that causes it [00:19] hi binkula [00:19] I've managed to toggle opacity with shortcut keys [00:19] Hello. I'm remastering Ubuntu which is working fine (adding/removing software). I now want to add more keyboard layouts, which I did by creating the necessary configuration file in /home/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard&/kbd/ with the required layouts. Unfortunately Gnome doesn't pick up the entries. So it seems creating the file is not sufficient. Can someone help me ? [00:19] but I'm hoping for an automagic solution [00:21] binkula: iirc, there is a way to create transpareny 'rules' in ccsm, you could add all window classes to that and it would apply automatically. [00:21] ikonia: It seems fairly random, happens anywhere between 10 mins and three hours after I turn on the PC, happend much less frequently if I stop X and just leave top running, though it still panics if I run prime95's stress test without X running [00:21] binkula: Have you tried asking in #compiz ? [00:21] Pici, aaah good place to start thanks :( [00:21] :) * [00:21] Pici, haha no - I started out in #kubuntu [00:21] I will head there [00:21] boss_mc: have you tried to capture any of the messages from the panic ? [00:21] but I'm also going to try your idea [00:21] ikonia: how would I get the panic text dump (I can see the last few lines in TTY1 after it panics if I'm not using X [00:22] ikonia, great minds think alike, shame I don't know how to collect the logs [00:22] boss_mc: something like net-dump [00:22] ikonia, net-dump? I'll google it... [00:23] hey guys how can i decrypt my private data folder i've been trying the instructions online but it says that the operation of mounting these encrypted files is not supported [00:23] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and when I listen to certain mp3s the sound stops and gives me an error. After that Skype crashes and I have to restart my computer to get it to work again. Can anyone help? [00:23] hi everyone I'm looking for help getting wireless working on my dell laptop. [00:24] right now iwconfig just says "no wireless extensions" after eth0 [00:25] does anyone know how to deal with blurry chinese font rendering? [00:25] dissolute, blurry as in pixeled? [00:25] ikonia, unless I'm failing at google, that's not supplied by canonical...? [00:25] hi, how can i set default window manager to metacity in 10.04? [00:25] spoken look for restricted drivers [00:26] cousteau, no. I think they're being antialiased or something [00:26] boss_mc: look in the repos [00:26] . [00:26] Hi all i have just installed ubuntu 10.10 worked great untilll i installed all the updates then grub was screwed [00:26] any suggestions [00:26] dissolute, then maybe they are just too small [00:26] ikonia, apt knows nothing about it... [00:27] binkula: setting window transparancy also affects text and usability; try murrine gtk engine supporting transparant themes (rgba); e.g. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Another+Gtk+RGBA+module+?content=100968 [00:27] boss_mc: look at crash [00:27] psicobra, what happens when you try to boot? [00:27] dissolute: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [00:27] dissolute, you can try using a different font rendering method on Appearance > Fonts, try "Better shapes" [00:27] thanks VCoolio [00:27] dnivra: just get the grub safe boot thing [00:28] 10.10 [00:28] dnivra: i can press tab and it lists commands but thats it [00:28] after updating 10.04 my minimize button closes firefox instead of minimizing,how could this be fixed?

[00:30] dnivra: normally get the option to select ubuntu or windows not there any more just the grub prompt [00:30] psicobra, you reinstalled ubuntu twice? you should've just reinstalled grub. anyway even with a reinstall it doesn't get fixed? that's weird. [00:30] psicobra, goes straight to the prompt? [00:30] dnivra: yes [00:30] iroquois_: reset theme, or get ubuntu tweaks to set buttons again on order [00:30] dnivra: how do i reinstall grub [00:31] psicobra, well i really don't have much of a clue. try reinstalling grub; you did reinstall when you installed ubuntu but still-while you wait to see if someone else can help [00:31] dnivra: how do i reinstall grub [00:31] psicobra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 has the instructions [00:31] thanks [00:32] ok ty shcherbak,(wow your yellow font sure is hard to read [00:32] psicobra, no problem :) [00:32] I've just uninstalled apt-xapian-index.

[01:40] * skraito say hi all [01:40] JeopardySholdenK: Thanks [01:42] swim: more details [01:42] londonmet050: np [01:43] aeon-ltd idk, it seems like many times i restart my computer, the theme changes.. if i select a specific theme, then within the next couple boots, it'll change itself, and it will always have the custom selected in the themes selection app under system, preferences, appearance, themes [01:44] CensoredBiscuit: You think trinty rescue cd can reapir ntfs file system [01:44] I got wireless to connect but I have to run both "sudo modprobe lib8021" and "insmod wl.ko" every time I boot to get it to connect. How can I make this a permanent change so it connects automatically on bootup? [01:44] chills518: you can add it to your init scripts [01:45] It might personally I know of it. My professor recommends it, so Its worth a shot right? [01:45] chills518 put it in /etc/modules [01:45] i.e. crontab -e, add an entry called @reboot [01:45] CensoredBiscuit: in school? [01:46] industry, why not /etc/modules [01:46] industry, much easier [01:46] I don't know alot of NTFS [01:46] yeah good point you have sam, it's because i forgot about that file [01:47] do I just add those two lines to the modules file? [01:47] chills518 yes. without the extension .ko [01:48] kk... will do it now and let you know. thank you both for the input... [01:48] and put wl.ko in /lib/modules somewhere [01:49] do I need the sudo in from as well or just "modprobe lib8021" and "insmod wl.ko"? [01:49] *in front [01:50] chills518, no. just the name of module. no modprobe. no sudo [01:51] hey guys [01:51] . [01:51] can someone check if something iswrong with my fstab file? [01:51] http://pastebin.com/Qch6qRJV [01:51] hey guys, I need to know how to write a filder to an ISO [01:51] hey forestbear welcome to #ubuntu [01:51] chills518, modprobe looks in the module directory /lib/modules/`uname -r` for all the modules and other files, [01:51] spencer_: Look up genisoimage [01:51] Spencer_ use Brasero [01:52] if your using ubuntu already that is [01:52] chills518, make sure wl.ko is stored somewhere in this dir [01:52] checking brasero [01:52] hey, does anybody know of an app that is like "startup disk creater" that I can install which will allow me to create boot usbs for OSs like debian, DSL, puppy and the likes??? [01:52] chills518, you compiled wl.ko yourself right? [01:52] Jemt: Hadn't heard of that one, thanks :) [01:52] :) [01:52] censoredbiscuit I'm modifying a boot disc, will that still let me make it a boot disc? [01:53] Yea. [01:53] yeah. I downloaded it from a page and went through the "make" process if that is what you are meaning.. this is all kind of new to me... [01:53] censoredbiscuit aww yeeaa thanks a ton man [01:53] I use it to burn copies of ubuntu all the time Spencer_ [01:53] No worries thats what i'm here fore [01:53] for* [01:53] cuz I can't boot into ubuntu [01:54] swim: You could take a look around at bootdisk.com for some ideas. [01:54] in particular i noticed that when it says "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx doesn't exist!", the entire /dev/disk/by-uuid folder doesn't exist [01:54] cool, thanks [01:54] anyone know how to adjust screen resolution in ubuntu 9.04 beyond what is listed in system preferences display? [01:54] so if anyone could help tha would be great :D [01:58] forestbear: what error do you get on boot? [01:59] greezmunkey: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx doesn't exist!" [01:59] ao, are you sure your hardware supports it? [01:59] forestbear: you should be able to run sudo blkid to see the uuids available === root is now known as Guest5813 [02:01] sam: not sure... how can i check? [02:02] See you later alligators! ;) [02:02] forestbear: That most likely means that none of your partitions are being recognized. /dev/disk/by-uuid/ only exists when there are entries to go in it. [02:02] greezmunkey: the uuids are correct [02:02] jordan_u: how do i fix that? [02:03] boa noite? [02:03] jordan_U: are u a chess player [02:03] ? [02:03] !ot | error_203 [02:03] error_203: #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! [02:03] CensoredBiscuit: Thanks for info [02:04] forestbear: Has Ubuntu ever worked on this machine? [02:04] someone say something just before I cleared my screen to mee [02:04] what was it? [02:04] jordan_u: yes for a long time [02:04] 18:05 < londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit: Thanks for info [02:05] jordan_u: only recently it stopped [02:05] CensoredBiscuit: "LONDONMET050: CENSOREDBISCUIT: Thanks for info" [02:05] forestbear: Does it work if you select an older kernel? [02:05] londonmet050 sorry I couldnt help more, just knew the names of things that Might help [02:05] Jordan_U: so should he force a fsck an see what it finds? Or will that even work? [02:05] CensoredBiscuit: Every little bit helps [02:06] Jordan_U: I actually removed the older entries from my grub boot list thing.... :/ [02:06] hola [02:06] greezmunkey: I expect that it's a problem with missing/broken drivers in the initrd. [02:07] hey I was wondering if I can use the 10.04 amd64 bit CD I just downloaded to install it on my Intel processor? or is it only for AMD base processors? [02:07] Jordan_U: forestbear how did you edit grub? [02:07] CryptoSec: Yes, Intel uses the AMD64 architecture. [02:07] greezmunkey: using the kubuntu startup editor thing (though I use ubuntu, not kubuntu) [02:08] hey guys how can I set permission for a partition that is empty? [02:08] and unmounted [02:08] sam-_-: I put both "lib80211" and "wl" into the modules file and after reboot it was still not auto connecting. strange.. [02:08] at any specfic location [02:09] you mount it, then you set permissions. then unmount it. [02:10] good to know... but why don't they just label it ubuntu 64-bit instead of AMD64... I can see it confusing a lot of people... [02:10] do i have to login as root to do that industry_? [02:10] it's called amd because amd made up the instruction set, i think [02:10] chills518, did you copy you wl file into the modules dir [02:10] andyes, you have to be root [02:10] CryptoSec: historical thing made made for amd first [02:11] does ubuntu come with a .bashrc file out of the box? and if so where may I find it? thanks [02:11] industry so that requires unlocking my root [02:11] chills518, you may have to run "sudo depod -a" after that [02:11] chills518, you may have to run "sudo depmod -a" after that [02:11] cardona507, [02:11] are you locked out? [02:11] it is in "/lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/kernel/net/wireless" will this not work? [02:11] CryptoSec: Intel had a 64 bit only (could not run 32 bit code) architecture before AMD came up with an architecture that was backwards compatible. Though that's mostly history now, so I agree just "64 bit" might be better. [02:11] industry_ I keep it locked [02:11] can someone help me connect my ubuntu server to a windows share? [02:11] forestbear: look in /etc/default/grub are there any backup grub files evident? [02:11] CensoredBiscuit: yes? [02:12] also the netbook isn't particularly for my thinkpad notebook? correct? I should be okay with the Desktop version [02:12] Go to home/user/ then go to view > hidden items and then look for .bashrc [02:12] Jordan_U: better explaination than mine :>) [02:12] chills518, run "sudo depmod -a" then try modprobe wl. what does it say? [02:12] unless you want the root on [02:12] then go to root and do the same [02:12] how do I view hidden items from the command line? [02:12] greezmunkey: Settings for update-grub are stored in /etc/default/grub, actual entries are stored in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. [02:12] CryptoSec: desktop will work fine [02:13] they should already show [02:13] cardona507: ls -a [02:13] I am getting an error that says mount error(127): Key has expired when I try to mount the share [02:13] CryptoSec: running desktop on a 13 inch [02:13] no results after modprobe wl... hmmm [02:14] chills518, it says nothing. then everything is fine [02:14] Jordan_U: I'm on shaky ground, but was asking him to see if the tool he used to edit grub may have made a copy of the original. [02:14] Jordan_U: I agree.. hey ... everything that I have is in AMD.... first time bought an Intel base processor... but for an average person visiting the web site I think just displaying "ubantu-64bit.iso" makes a lot more sense... [02:14] chills518, try rebooting now [02:14] sounds good... brb... thank you [02:14] I actually have w500 with a real good graphics card... I made sure of that.... [02:15] CryptoSec: you will be more happy with desktop of netbook unity [02:15] forestbear: did you see Jordan_U's response about /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? Look in /boot/grub to see if there is a backup file. [02:15] ok [02:16] what-a! is there Bot in freenode? [02:16] CryptoSec: There is a bug report about that here if you want to look at the reasoning given for keeping things the way they are: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322372 [02:16] is getting auto completion on tab from bash something that I would put in .bashrc? === Enissay__ is now known as Enissay [02:16] cardona507: no its a built in function to have tab-completion [02:17] greezmunkey, jordan_u: I have a backup, seems quite old though, from when I updated from 9.04 [02:17] i created a linode ubuntu last night and hte .bashrc file that it came with is workable - today i am working on a boss's server and his .bashrc file is the same as my other one but it isn't taking effect [02:17] CryptoSec: Sorry, after loading the entire page (bad connection on my end) I see that bug report isn't very usefull. [02:17] cardona507: its a part of standard bash [02:17] sam-_-: worked perfect! thank you very much!! [02:17] I'm using the command: sudo mount -t cifs //server-ip/foldershare/ -o username=Guest,password= /home/user/folder [02:17] is there any reason it wouldn't be happening? [02:17] forestbear: yeah, I would tell you to use that one. [02:17] is there a freenode bot?? what's going on here I guess freenode is turning into yahoo-chat [02:17] forestbear: I meant to type not use that one!!! [02:17] greezmunkey: okay I'll try it [02:17] oh [02:17] chills518, sure np [02:17] how can i have secure read write access to my ext4 partitions in Windows? [02:17] phew [02:18] forestbear: no! [02:18] forestbear: How did you remove the older kernels? [02:18] Hi there [02:18] are any of you ubuntu guru's? [02:18] forestbear: there sould have been a "'nt" at the end of "would"...

[02:19] awesome [02:19] Jordan_U: with the kubuntu startup editor thing, I don't think that's the problem though as it booted fine for a while even after I changed the menu [02:19] forestbear: so, there is a grub.cfg file present? [02:19] Jordan_U: thanks for the inquiry [02:19] anyone know how to fix (process:346): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) error? [02:19] Shadowjedi01: whats the probleim [02:19] it's won't even auto complete with tab [02:19] sam-_-: if I make changes the modules file do I need to run the depmod -a each time?

[02:19] hold on let me open it up [02:19] there are no colors - its all black and white [02:19] yet the .bashrc file is the same as my other ubuntu [02:19] chills518, no [02:20] greezmunkey: nope, in /boot/grub there is no grub.cfg file [02:20] chills518, but if you update your kernel you have to rebuild wl.ko and run depmod again [02:20] unable to authenticate imap server [02:20] cardona, you are probably using dash, not bash. check to see wha shell you're running [02:20] I've been trying to sync it with my gmail all day and I'm about to rip out my hair [02:20] sam-_-: before when I had access to my ext2 partitions from windows, I had always mandatory disk check at linux boot [02:21] forestbear: booting my buntu box now.

[02:24] oh ok [02:24] I'm trying to boot this on a pavilion ZE5500 i found by a dumpster [02:24] CryptoSec: They're bots that stop floods. The floods happen to be mostly spam (and confused new users) ;) [02:25] will ubuntu support the oldass hardware on this, notably the wireless [02:25] Shadowjedi01, a really complex proble some times at the least needs to be done in a dialogue that may include pastebin text and pictures.

I give you that one... [02:26] what is tree command stands for? [02:26] Shadowjedi01, good group of people though we all fail at times. ;) [02:26] lexvegas: wouldnt that overwrite your keyring [02:26] rww: smart idea... [02:26] yea [02:26] metrix: Yes, but usually if update-grub doesn't find a windows installation it's because it's not actually bootable (missing its system partition for example). [02:26] I just want to give back to the community [02:26] forestbear: can you paste /boot/grub/grub.cfg to paste.ubuntu.com please [02:26] I have been using ubuntu for about 2 years now [02:26] lexvegas: make a backup. verify the backup. [02:26] and I am fairly good [02:26] but not a pro by any measure [02:27] industry__, the problem is that i need to reinstall, but i only have one computer that i can test on. [02:27] Shadowjedi01: glad it worked [02:27] dw-, can i use keyring to do that? [02:27] forestbear: Make that your /boot/grub/menu.lst. [02:27] itaylor57, I tried configuring it to pop earlier and it gave me the same message [02:27] Jordan_u the problem is I can't get grub to work on my laptop, even after re-installing.. so I wanted to run it directly from a usb grub [02:27] greezmunkey: forestbear is using grub legacy. [02:27] lexvegas: just backup anything you overwrite by making a proper copy of all the hidden files [02:27] ah. but you should still backup your keys, then einstall. [02:27] dw-, alright sounds good [02:28] Jordan_U: ah, I guess I missed that, I'l beg off. [02:28] metrix: What problem are you having with grub specifically? [02:28] can somebody help me with a small question? [02:28] ask away User51 [02:28] greezmunkey: He never said it explicitly, I just assumed that from the lack of a /boot/grub/grub.cfg. [02:28] itaylor57, but there is lots of good info in this blog you gave me [02:28] greezmunkey, jordan_u: [02:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/545443/ [02:29] Shadowjedi01: overall evolution has worked forme [02:29] does anyone know how to fix this error in asterisk loaded to ubuntu?

[02:47] hi [02:47] numberz, more information would be nice [02:47] r00t4rd3d: That unfortunately doesn't change the fact that your nick is not apropriate for this channel? Do you want to discuss this further in #ubuntu-ops? [02:47] sam-_-: it [02:47] sorry [02:47] s/?/./ [02:48] hello all [02:48] hi [02:48] sam-_-: it's a config error in ushare. the share in question is /random which is 777 root root but it just says can't start server permission denied on share [02:48] hi [02:48] Is there a way to start a program -- say Evolution -- in a minimized state? [02:49] hi [02:49] r00t4rd3d, yes, it was a password issue, thank you very much! [02:49] np lacy [02:50] hi [02:50] please don't pm me without asking [02:50] if you want to help chat in here [02:50] hello room any gamers in here?Looking for a good game to play up for suggestions [02:50] peterfabinski: hi back [02:51] numberz, how are you trying to access the file? [02:51] Texas: The machinarium demo is good [02:51] can someone help me out with a ubuntu startup error? [02:51] numberz, why not pm if you don't mind me asking? [02:51] Iron_Chef: no, it's quite easy [02:51] !ask|luneth95 [02:51] luneth95: 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. :-) [02:52] !pm [02:52] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [02:52] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545448/ [02:52] wondering your thoughs on LVM vs XFS, currently have a file server serving up smb shares, data is scattered across 3 drives 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB, im thinking LVM to make one volume of the 3 disks but not sure if that is the best way to go about things... [02:52] whats a good virtual cd/dvd .iso mounter for ubuntu? [02:52] Iron_Chef: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-distributions/4-ubuntu/996-install-xbmc-media-center-on-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx [02:52] whats up luneth95? [02:52] (process:346): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) [02:53] I have that error and I cant even get to the desktop [02:53] Iron_Chef: it has a maverick folder too ;) [02:53] luneth95: Are you trying to log in as root? [02:53] purp: evolution, right click -> archive mount [02:53] numberz, so and why do you find it rude? [02:53] no I set to autologon as my acc I made [02:53] hello :) [02:53] @purp you can mount iso files with the mount command [02:54] numberz, sry for my ignorance but i really don't understand [02:54] Jordan_U: I got tired of loging in as live use so I made my acc and set to autologon to the new acc [02:54] cool beans... [02:54] thanks [02:54] purp: sudo mkdir /media/iso ; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso Linux has had this functionality for AGES, windows needs 3rd party apps because it is very lacking [02:55] purp: in that command, all you need to do is change the file.iso name and path, you can then use the same mount point for future mounts of iso files [02:55] buenos dias... hay algun canal para español... soy de paraguay... [02:55] !es [02:55] 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. [02:55] gotcha..appreciate that... [02:55] what doyou mean by very lacking? [02:55] didn't realize it was that easy [02:56] right click or the mounting option [02:56] purp: np, simple things lad. There are nautilus scripts which allow you to mount and unmount in nautilus but I dont use gui much for that sort of jazz [02:56] I've used windows all my life, is it worth it/will it be hard to switch to ubuntu? i realize i won't be able to play as many games but is that the only downside? ... and on the game note is there any kind of VM or something I could use to run games? [02:56] pokir, wine [02:56] pokir: Or you could dual boot and use Windows only for games [02:57] pokir: depends on the individual [02:57] #ubuntu-es [02:57] pokir: depends what games [02:57] anything with punkbuster and your beat [02:57] pokir: virtualisation will run games pretty poorly [02:57] r00t4rd3d: urbanterror uses it as far as I remember [02:58] pokir: Ubuntu isn't too hard, in my opinion. You can use it almost like it is Windows, if you want. My parents use it and they aren't very computer literate. I help them if anything goes wrong, however [02:58] ActionParsnip, pm me [02:58] can someone explain to me why some people find it rude to pm them without asking them first? honest question [02:59] sam-_-, i dont [02:59] other people can benefit from your q/a too [02:59] sam-_-: I've heard someone say that they don't like another blinking tab on top of all the other tabs they have open. I don't mind it though [02:59] ummm poiple? [03:00] how do I change wo I logon as? [03:00] because I'm stuck at (process:346): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) [03:00] su name [03:00] r00t4rd3d, i guess so [03:00] is that the command? === Lint01 is now known as feanor [03:00] su name? === feanor is now known as feanor2 [03:01] um i dont think su will help with that error [03:01] how to install mandriva [03:01] sam-_-, if you arrived here looking for help and found everyone busy in PM sessions and not answering you you'd be irked. And then the "support" part of this chanel would cease to exist. [03:01] no thoughs on LVM vs XFW? [03:01] s rmp in debian? [03:01] then what might help with that error? [03:02] *XFS [03:02] wedwo-, i didn't think of that [03:02] so it wouldn't be too hard to replace windows then? everything I've seen from people at college it looked really complex and problems are hard to figure out but maybe thats just because I've never used it before [03:02] hey, I'm trying to restart my X session as it's frozen, but restarting GDM hasn't done anything and I can't find a useful pid to kill. what can i do besides rebooting? [03:02] Te3-BloodyIron: ALT+K+PrintScreen [03:02] pokir: Why replace windows instead of dual booting? [03:03] pokir: probably inexperience making it look hard, its simple [03:03] pokir, try wubi, it's the best method by far [03:03] ActionParsnip: what does that do? [03:03] Te3-BloodyIron: restarts the X server [03:03] is there a way to see 2 OSes at the same time [03:03] any way i can do this through ssh? [03:04] PeterFabinskiMbl: What do you mean see 2 OSes? [03:04] Te3-BloodyIron: kill GDM will do it [03:04] luneth95, your using an old version of a live cd ? [03:04] i tried t.t [03:04] any other ways? [03:04] how to know what installed package size is? [03:04] PeterFabinskiMbl: You can view files on two OSes at the same time [03:04] PeterFabinskiMbi: sure, but in what context? [03:04] Te3-BloodyIron, did you sudo restart gdm? [03:04] EnigmaticCoder: I usually just leave my computer running until it crashes... was just hoping to find something more stable I guess [03:05] !dpkg [03:05] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [03:05] sam-_-: i didn't sudo, i logged in as root, i know i know :P [03:05] alt k prscr did not reboot x :( [03:05] er restart [03:05] r00t4rd3d: no I'm using ubuntu 10.10 on a usb [03:06] Te3-BloodyIron, you need to be on the tty where x is on [03:06] ctrl alt f7 [03:06] yeah i have physical access [03:06] but im also trying to figure out a way to do it through ssh [03:06] pokir: It's up to you, but I'd personally keep both OSes until I tried Ubuntu for about a month or two to see if it's easy enough for me to use [03:06] EnigmaticCoder, like linux and another os and see both [03:06] as this happens kind of often recently :/ [03:06] luneth95, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1443231&page=18 [03:06] "Seems, just updating to the latest version of plymouth fixes things." [03:06] Te3-BloodyIron, 'k' Secure Access Key (SAK) Kills all programs on the current virtual console. [03:06] I have no idea how to do that though :/ [03:06] Te3-BloodyIron, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/457 [03:07] PeterFabinskiMbl: I'm not sure what you mean by SEE. Do you mean view Windows and Linux files at the same time? [03:07] well that doesn't do it i'm afraid :/ [03:07] maybe try updating plymouth [03:07] r00t4rd3d: thanks gonna try it out [03:07] PeterFabinskiMbl: Ubuntu can read and write NTFS, Windows can only read ext2 and ext3 with help from extra software [03:08] Te3-BloodyIron, if this doesn't work your system has crashed. [03:08] sam-_-: but i can ssh into it? [03:08] Te3-BloodyIron, then sysreq have to work [03:08] luneth95, have you updated your system since install ? [03:08] well, it hasnt :/ [03:08] like running 2 computers at the same time, but only one computer? like a vm? [03:08] Te3-BloodyIron, i don't suppose you run a custom kernel? [03:09] no [03:09] i run the kernel provided for mythbuntu [03:09] and whatever updates it receives [03:09] How can I work out which /dev/* is my DVD drive? for some reason dvd is not it :/ lol I'm trying to use dd to copy it to my HDD [03:09] Te3-BloodyIron, then your doing sth. wrong [03:09] Osaka: sudo lshw -C drive [03:09] well, i dont know what that might be [03:09] I probably wouldn't use this, but is it possible to have a GUI open on one monitor and a text terminal open on the second? [03:09] sam-_-: i'd go with logging on as root being the wrong bit [03:09] it seems to happen at random, but usually after longer periods of time [03:09] by text terminal I mean like alt + f1 [03:10] Te3-BloodyIron, alt + sysreq + k. try it again :-) [03:10] and it only started doing it the last few months [03:10] no dice [03:10] but [03:10] ill try some other keyboards [03:10] ActionParsnip, :-) [03:11] r00t4rd3d: no I hav'nt [03:11] ya do that [03:11] no dice :(T [03:11] Te3-BloodyIron, oh yeah. the key may not work. but sysreqs are the last thing that stop working [03:11] System , Admin , Update Manager [03:11] r00t4rd3d: acnt even get to the desktop [03:11] r00t4rd3d: how am I supposed to update if I cant acess desktop [03:12] sam-_-: well, anyways, do you have any suggestions what could be causing this crashing? [03:12] my taskbar disappeared after autohide and doesnt show again [03:12] this is troubling me [03:12] sam-_-: because i can't find any suggestive feedback as to what could be doing it [03:12] i [03:12] Te3-BloodyIron, check the log files [03:12] sam-_-: yeah i know, but so much logs, i dont know which ones i should check first [03:13] Te3-BloodyIron, what does crashing mean exactly. does x freeze? [03:13] Ummm [03:13] yeahj [03:13] this situation [03:13] where X has become unresponsive [03:13] but i can still ssh into it [03:13] Is there a keystroke to open a new bash terminal? [03:13] Te3-BloodyIron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:13] and it appears dameons and other htings work in the background [03:13] Te3-BloodyIron: if you log on as your user you will have fewer issues [03:13] Te3-BloodyIron, then these files /var/log/Xorg* [03:13] EnigmaticCoder, use both monitors as 1 desktop: the gui on one and a terminal on the other [03:13] hello, i'm trying to use this keyboard+mouse(combo), it is connected not via bluetooth, it's a prolink 2.4ghz, i guess its using wireless transmitter, can anyone help how to enable it in my ubuntu? pls, im desperate [03:14] i wasnt kidding, my taskbar disappeared [03:14] dualboot system (from Wubi), after upgrade (of kernel)? it does not start - GRUB stops booting with error: no such device: grub rescue> How to fix that?

I wrote a init.d script to start a custom service and it's working ok, but the service is running as the root user. how can I make it run with a different user? [03:14] EnigmaticCoder: Don't think so, but "gnome-terminal" should spawn another one. [03:14] thx [03:14] forestbear: Add this entry to the end of your /boot/grub/menu.lst and try booting with it: http://pastebin.com/spYaRBD9 [03:14] err sudo apt-get update should work [03:15] moszer: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html [03:15] ActionParsnip: nothing came up but I think when I ran it without the -class parameter it listed the logical names for it as /dev/cdrom [03:15] ActionParsnip: come again? i don't login as root locally [03:15] Osaka: try: sudo lshw -C disk then [03:15] r00t4rd3d: how do you login as failsafe? [03:15] Te3-BloodyIron: good [03:15] when you system boots you see a menu of choices ?

[03:17] and advanced options [03:17] have you guys ever seen the fglrx driver cause these kind of issues? [03:17] run from usb [03:17] EnigmaticCoder, i doubt it :-) [03:17] EnigmaticCoder, whats that? [03:17] Te3-BloodyIron: fglrx is rather crap, so yes [03:17] r00t4rd3d: I did that [03:17] rww: yeah but i need it for what i want to do [03:17] luneth95, you have working windows installed ?

[03:18] it will install ubuntu like a program kinda [03:18] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer [03:18] PeterFabinskiMbl: Mouseless browsing lets you select links with a hotkey and a number === Osaka is now known as OsakaFoo [03:19] when you boot will give you an option , windows or ubuntu [03:19] PeterFabinskiMbl: It might be more elaborate than that, but I think you get the point [03:19] mhfs: create a scipt with the stuff you want to run, then use the init script to run: su - foo -c script change foo to the name of the user and script to the script name (I suggest using absolute paths) [03:19] anyone pls, kindly help me [03:19] jordan_u: ok i'll be back in a bit [03:19] r00t4rd3d: I'm using desktop version [03:19] thats fine [03:19] moszer: did you press the sync button on the reciever, then on the keyboard [03:20] EnigmaticCoder, how could i set it up to try [03:20] ActionParsnip: thanks a lot!

[03:28] ActionParsnip, Yeah , a Linux Miracle :D [03:29] how Wubi works? [03:29] great i personally think [03:29] where is linux pseudo partition created by wubi? is it a file on windows? [03:30] is there a wubi-like thing for mac? [03:30] ForestBear: Ok. Try running "sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.32-25-generic" Then see if you can boot from the newer kernel. [03:30] Hi. Can I add 7zip support to file-roller? [03:31] PeterFabinskiMbl: No, because linux doesn't have write support for OSX's default filesystem (journaled hfsplus) yet. [03:31] ActionParsnip: i hope so, atleast it detect something, sadly, nothing happen [03:31] johnyh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [03:31] indio: sure: sudo apt-get install p7zip [03:31] johnyh: Yes, it's in C:\ubuntu\disks\root.diks [03:31] ActionParsnip: Many thanks. [03:32] Jordan_U, rats. is there a virtual machine emulator or something? [03:32] indio: you can also extract in cli with: 7z x filename [03:32] PeterFabinskiMbl: You can run Ubuntu within VirtualBox (or any other VM software) under OSX. [03:32] PeterFabinskiMbl: kvm ? [03:33] ActionParsnip: Thank you. [03:33] jordan_u: it worked! thank you so much! updating my system won't screw it up right? [03:34] Jordan_U, i got virtualbox, do i download linux from somewhere? [03:35] ForestBear: I don't expect that it will, but it's hard to know since I don't know what caused the initrd to be created improperly or corrupted in the first place. [03:35] Jordan_U: So it was initrd after all... [03:35] PeterFabinskiMbl: Yes, http://ubuntu.com/download . [03:36] CAN I UPGRADE UBUNTU 9.04 TO 10.10 WITHOUT CLEAN INSTALL ? [03:36] Jordan_U: You rock dude... [03:36] !caps | anil [03:36] anil: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [03:36] !eol | anil [03:36] anil: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:36] jordan_u: but if things go wrong I can just use this working version of menu.lst (backed up) to fix things i think [03:36] sorry !!! [03:36] Jordan_U, what do i do with the file when i get it? [03:36] ForestBear: Yes. I would recommend always keeping at least one old kernel entry in your menu.lst at all times. [03:37] anil: you should be able to update in the update manager [03:37] PeterFabinskiMbl: Use it as the source for the virtual CDROM drive in VirtualBox. [03:37] how? [03:38] Jordan_U: thanks again. Well I'm off, see ya! [03:38] update manager is showing 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade [03:39] will probably take a couple updates [03:40] ¥€$¥€$ [03:40] I upgraded to 10.04 from 8.04, and it broke a lot of stuff. So, I backed up my home folder, and did a fresh install with 9.10. Problem is, my wifi and ethernet are still broken. The eth0 will not connect when set to dhcp mode, but when I set it to static, It says connected, but idle.

It's free [04:01] after makin executable in terminal wat do i do???? [04:01] rmccue http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [04:01] sam-_-: The documentation notes that to restart samba, `sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart` [04:02] man: type ./filenamehere [04:02] they don't support it because it's new and almost everyone has flash [04:02] man ./file [04:02] man: that is assuming you're already in the directory that the file is in [04:02] greezmunkey: its an hp dv8000. wireless and ethernet are not working on it at the moment.

What A/D capture devices work with Ubuntu? [04:04] obscurant1st, you need to change the proxy settings [04:04] guiness: lightspark [04:04] yeah [04:04] but hulu doesnt support it [04:04] how to see how many space an installed package takes??? [04:04] at least the desktop app [04:05] greezmunkey: eth0 says its connected, but pings to router have a 100% loss. [04:05] ActionParsnip>> Is that how you record tracks with your guitar low latency? [04:06] Fezzler: i dont record, i just play but it's how I would. If you want low latency I'd install th rt kernel [04:06] Hey there. Quick question to make sure I have this right. I have my partitions set up as /, home and swap. If I am installing a different distro, all I have to do is tell it the same thing but specify not to format "home" right? [04:06] I am switching buntus. [04:06] i cant get my mic to function like it does on windows [04:06] help?? [04:06] ActionParsnip>> Ah. I have RT kernel. I wonder is there are any guitar recorders here? [04:06] shrmn: yes [04:06] shrmn: yep, mark the home partition to be used as /home with the right filesystem type but NOT format it and the settings should be used in the new distro [04:06] what is the BackTrack path for the desktop [04:07] thnks frends [04:07] Schweet! [04:07] got it [04:07] Thanks everyone. [04:07] sam-_-: thx man. silly me. it was firefox. Somebody changed the proxy settings!, thx anyway! [04:07] dejavou42: hold a sec, neighbor is here... [04:07] is anyone here offended by my nick besides Jordan_U ? [04:08] greezmunkey: k thanks [04:08] shrmn: seperate /home partition has many advantages [04:08] * skraito need a tester for https://yohanespatra.wordpress.com/2010/12/19/0x71-perl-logger-to-syslog-simple-key-logger/ sory if i repeat this i am using /ame [04:08] greezmunkey, yep, I've also spent almost 6 hours to search for the battery status display problem, no result. This new Toshiba model doesn't have much Ubuntu support, i doubt i'll find anything on my own [04:08] r00t4rd3d: I'm not offended by it, but I don't care much if people aren't politcally correct (usually) [04:08] how to unzip the zipped files in ubuntu????? [04:08] r00t4rd3d, it's not a nice nick that's for sure [04:09] man, right click -> decompress [04:09] ActionParsnip, I did pick up that much from what I read before I did my initial install and am very thankful. :] [04:09] r00t4rd3d: I agree with sam-_-. :') [04:09] I have a PC that has relatively low hardware, I think it was designed for Win 98 or 2000. The primary purpose of this PC would be to go on the internet only. Is there any distro that doesn't need much hardware and has a simple GUI? [04:09] clu3: contact Toshiba support to see what they have to say. [04:09] is there a way to start Vino minimized? [04:09] stephan_: you could use xubuntu [04:10] HI, I created a tcp server, running it on ubuntu-server each time i run it, only 400 tcp socket clients can connect to it... [04:10] how do i increase this limit to unlimitede [04:10] dejavou42: Are you using Network Manager? Or are you statically defining things in /etc/network/interfaces? [04:10] or fluxbuntu i think [04:10] * skraito anyone ? [04:10] xubuntu is a bloat [04:10] modify the ulimits or somethin? [04:10] network manager mostly [04:10] Stepan_: There's xubuntu, but if that isn't low requirements enough, I've heard of damn small linux [04:10] feanor2, lubuntu then= [04:11] stepan: fluxbuntu is also good [04:11] is there a reason eacclerator isn't in synaptic? [04:11] greezemunkey: I've used terminal to force some changes, but I haven't written anything to the config files [04:11] r [04:11] downloaded songs fron songs.pk can run safely in ubuntu????? [04:12] greezemunkey: If set to dhcp, eth0 will never connect, and dhcp is turned on in the router. [04:12] man most likely [04:12] Thanks guys, will definatelly check these distros out [04:12] man: sure, why not [04:12] man: define safely..? [04:13] as long as the songs aren't executables for linux :-) [04:13] ActionParsnip, he means exploitation of vulneabilities via mp3 format [04:13] means directly by clicking [04:13] greezemunkey: /etc/network/interfaces only has "auto lo auto lo inet loopback" [04:13] never heard of an mp3 exploit. [04:14] man: sure, how is clicking related to safety? [04:14] greezmunkey: no entry for eth0. should I try to define eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces? [04:14] Hi - I'm an (myth/u)buntu newbie. How can I change my firewall so I can run ssh on a different port? (I know how to change ssh, just not change the (myth/u)buntu firewall. Can anyone help? [04:15] dejavou42: no entry where? network manager? [04:15] myth-learner, is there a firewall running? [04:15] myth-learner, ufw? [04:15] myth-learner: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config you can change the port it runs on there [04:15] greezmunkey: There is no entry for eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces. network manager has two entries: one static, and one auto [04:15] @sam - ufw suggests that there are no iptables rules... [04:16] im having a problem shutting down the computer [04:16] @ActionParsnip - thanks - I've got that working, but can't change the firewall [04:16] greezmunkey: dhcp* not auto [04:16] dejavou42: that's normal, if you are letting network mgr do it's thing. Is this issue new, or from install? [04:16] myth-learner: where is the firewall running? [04:16] no relation, i mean dat without using any other operation [04:17] @ActionParsnip - no idea. I can connect on local host to multiple ssh ports, but from the other machines on my network I can only see port 22. [04:17] Does anyone know how to add a trackbar to the current line in irssi (I just inquired on #irssi but didn't get a response) [04:17] myth-leaner, sudo iptables -L to see if ufw is right [04:17] myth-learner: if its on your LAN then unless you configured iptables it will be running on the new port [04:17] greezmunkey: from install / upgrade. I upgraded to 10.04 from 8.04. it broke a lot of stuff, so I backed up my home folder and installed 10.10 and then 9.10. currently I'm running 9.10 which is a fresh install [04:18] @sam - only 3 chains in iptables. all the vanilla stuff. [04:18] If there is no proper nvidia driver for my video card then cant i run 11.04 once it gets released ? [04:18] myth-learner: if you drop the @ in your text, it highlights the text in the client, adding the character stops the highlight happening# [04:19] ActionParsnip - sorry dude. [04:19] G__81: #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion [04:19] EnigmaticCoder: I have a script somewhere let me look [04:19] myth-learner, then no firewall is running [04:19] sam-_-: well it is, its just not configured [04:19] ok thanks ActionParsnip [04:19] sam - :-( So why can't I get ssh to work on a non-standard port. Any other suggestions? [04:19] ActionParsnip, ok [04:19] hi [04:20] @feanor2 test [04:20] myth-learner, did you restart sshd after editing the conf [04:21] myth-learner, btw. if you are doing this for a security reason. don't it's not worth it [04:21] sam - I *think* I did, but I need to check [04:21] sam - it's 'cos I want to run multiple external ssh ports on my modem/router. [04:22] sam-_-: iptables runs from the first boot, its just got no rules of what to block and allow so it allows everything [04:22] I know that I can easily be port scanned so it won't matter much if I try to hide the port. [04:22] dejavou42: you've been through the mill then...Remove the eth0 profiles in network manager, and set up a new one static, give it 192.168.0.25 mask 255.255.255.0, gate 192.168.0.1, and dns as your router ip address (gate) - see if that helps. NM on 9.x was a bit flaky... [04:22] myth-learner, y. but they all come from different ip adresses. [04:23] ActionParsnip, yes i know but thx for expl. [04:23] itaylor57: I found one on the irssi website, but I'm not sure how to use it. I've never used scripts in irssi [04:23] EnigmaticCoder: irssi-scripts has a trackbar.pl or google for it [04:23] myth-learner: thats fine, you just need to setup the port forward on the router to be pushed to the right IPs on the internal. [04:23] sam - my modem is single ip external address, but want to have multiple incoming ports so I can ssh directly to different machines. [04:24] ActionParsnip - the router only does 1-1 port mapping, i.e. only maps port 12345 (external) to 12345 internally. [04:24] sam-_-: 04:19 < sam-_-> myth-learner, then no firewall is running [04:24] sam-_-: clearly not... [04:24] myth-learner, some routers allow the change the port via nat [04:24] EnigmaticCoder: that would be off topic checkout the irrsi home page and they will tell you how to add it [04:24] dejavou42: once you've set up the new profile, disable and then enable to be sure your setting take effect. [04:24] hi [04:24] itaylor57: ty [04:24] sam - cheap netgear ones don't. :-( [04:24] i installed icedTea plug in and trying to uninstall old java off the ubuntu how do i do that [04:26] ActionParsnip - I think you must be right. I can't see anything that means a firewall was running (I'm more from the fedora GUI world) and then testing iptables reinforced my view and now you guys are saying the same thing. Perhaps I just forgot to restart sshd (*hangs head in shame*) [04:26] myth-learner: just change the port in sshd_config and then set the port forward on the WAN side to push through to the same port number as you are limited by your router [04:26] myth-learner, happens all the time to me :-) [04:26] EnigmaticCoder: http://scripts.irssi.org/ === shrmn is now known as braaaaiiiiiinnnn [04:27] i installed iced tea plug in so how do i delete the old version of java of the ubuntu in shell terminal? [04:27] myth-learner: its all learning dude, no worries === braaaaiiiiiinnnn is now known as braaaaiiiiiinnns [04:27] itaylor57: Thanks again [04:27] partyboy25, depends on what you had installed [04:27] sam-_- / ActionParsnip - thanks for the help.

I can ping IP but not pc name. [04:30] brb [04:31] ActionParsnip / sam - you guys are the best! Thanks for the help. It works. "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" Doh! :-) [04:31] chills518: sounds like your DNS doesn't include your router, you can add a resolution in /etc/hosts if you like [04:31] partyboy25 has a mix of open and sun methinks [04:32] hello everyone!!i want to install SQL server in ubuntu how do i do it?is it the same ways as installing it in windows??

I learned about it on the forums a few weeks back [04:32] !lamp | rugwiro [04:32] rugwiro: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:32] I installed 10.10 netbook remix to a 2GB flash drive using pendrivelinux, should it boot with the splash asking to try or install?

I am trying to connect to a Telstra 3G and having problems? [04:34] dejavou42: what does the system give you back when you run that? [04:34] chills518: i found the info on the ubuntu forums i think. All i did to fix my lan issues was removed that proram from the windows 7 box. I cant double check to see its name. since i removed it. - looking for the url now. [04:35] taraduffy, what problems? [04:35] chills518: it was somthing similer to 'windows games live login helper' [04:35] greezmunkey: RTNETLINK answers: File Exists [04:35] actionparsnip: I had it earlier today going to Places > network> and saw the pc there... and it just kept asking for password over and over even though I was using correct passowrd [04:35] What is the way to install netbook to flash so it boots into the system instead of the demo mode? [04:35] anyone can help me with installing audio drivers? [04:35] sam-_-: thanks: just wont connect; recognizes it, but fails to connect. [04:36] still working on it sam brb trying to figure this out [04:36] chills518: some info here also. (and otehr work arounds it seems) --> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/75-63-windows-samba-issue [04:36] dsfs [04:36] !persistent === PeterFabinski is now known as PeterFabinskiMbl [04:36] chills518: try adding everyone to the share on the windows computer, that should fix it [04:36] chills518: on the plus side. from my research - this issue is supposed to get fixed in the next samba release. So hopefully 11.04 wont have the issue [04:36] holoseen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:36] partyboy25: what is your problem? === PeterFabinskiMbl is now known as PeterFabinski [04:37] holoseen: on the livecd there is no logon screen, if you want it without demo, install it to the flash drive like you would if you were installing it to a hardribe, but make sure you set grub to the right drive [04:37] gamerx: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [04:37] anyone know where a network share is mounted when you access it? [04:37] taraduffy, does it say anything at all? [04:37] dr_willis: thanks for the info and link. I will keep plugging away at it. [04:37] yop129: usually in a folder in ~/.gvfs [04:37] taraduffy, like authentication failure or sth.? [04:38] gamerx, where did you download your drivers from? [04:38] asus.com [04:38] yop129: thanks. I think I have it set to everyone already. I had no password on the windows system but read it had to have one so I setup the password and it is still not letting me in.. hahah [04:38] chills518: i cant seem to track down the forum where i saw the other info at. [04:38] sam-_-: no. the network Manager icon spins around and then just stops in a failure graphic: but no error message. [04:38] XtJacob, I understand, but won't grub attempt to install to the internal hd with no way around that? [04:38] gamerx: most cards work fine with alsa [04:38] is there a way to update from a older version to 10.10 via CD without wiping the harddrive? [04:38] hi [04:38] i want the optical out to work [04:38] hi [04:38] older version is like 8.10 [04:38] hi [04:38] its not showing up in the list of outputs [04:39] gigaclon: you can use the alternate ISO to upgrade with. you can only update to the next release, or LTS to LTS [04:39] holoseen: at the end of the ubuntu install there is an option on where to install grub [04:39] Hi, must I have to put my swap in primary or logic part ? [04:39] chills518: hmm, yeah i had trouble accessing it before and adding everyone to the share fixed it so thought maybe that might help [04:39] lekiii hi [04:40] ActionParsnip, i think there is a card from creative in there. [04:40] ActionParsnip, x-fi [04:40] ActionParsnip: so it's mounted in an invisible folder? not very effecient when u need to access it from a program :/ [04:40] yop129: I will double check that I do have it set to everyone just to make sure. :) thanks for the info [04:40] ActionParsnip :):):):):) [04:40] XtJacob, good, so to confirm, nothing gets written to the internal hd? [04:41] gigaclon: thats supposed to be doable. but I find that its often best to just do a clean install. [04:41] yop129, I don't think the efficiency is any different. The only difference is hidden files have a . in front of them. [04:41] chills518: Also read this if all else fails. Its about NAS, but Win7 is the problem - http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-networking/1669-cannot-access-nas-4.html - Look for a post from micky0104 [04:41] sam-_-: oh no, creative :( [04:42] holoseen: yes just make sure you set everything to the flashdrive, if you really want to make sure unplug the drive when you install it. :p [04:42] chills518: np [04:42] chills518: you may want to ask in #samba also. [04:42] sam-_-: it just tries and then stops and says 'disconnected'. [04:42] can someone recomment spellchecker better than aspell sh*t? [04:42] evening mates [04:42] noonian: so i need to show hidden folders in nautilius before i can access it within a program, correct? [04:43] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/545477/ [04:43] XtJacob, I was trying to avoid pulling the laptop internal hd! But that is probably the surest/safest route. [04:43] yop129, no, just type path manually [04:43] feanor2: ok let me try it [04:43] taraduffy, take a look at /var/log/daemon.log networkmanager writes in there [04:43] chills518: heres some info on the 'problelm' i was having --> 'windows live sign on assisstant' --> http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/9c6f1d74-f7f0-4503-94fa-0d79a5597527 [04:43] hi... i'm using ubuntu 10.10 64 bit..... and somehow i always lost my desktop theme on boot up [04:43] holoseen: oh you're on a laptop :p, you might be able to disable the drive in the BIOS [04:44] gamerx: can you rerun the script but upload it, you will get a red hyperlink. What is the link? [04:44] sam-_-: OK looking .. . . [04:44] taraduffy, you may paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ then i will take a look [04:44] NeoCicak, did you install it or just running a live/usb version ? [04:44] chills518: amuseing quote from the info ---> uninstalling "windows live sign in assistant", but at least weekly, this "assistant" reinstalls itself, and the problem returns. [04:45] ActionParsnip, you mean upload the contants of alsa-info.sh? [04:45] chills518: i started having the issue when some game installed that Sign In assistant. [04:45] dejavou42: hmm, I did some looking around. Do you know how to statically define an ip address in /etc/network/interfaces? [04:45] sam-_-: shall I paste it to you somewhere: please point me to the paste bin? [04:45] greezmunkey: yup, just tried that [04:45] XtJacob, I think I will go the hardware disconnect way. [04:45] gamerx: no, when the script runs and you are asked if you want to upload, select yes and you'll get a hyperlink [04:45] feanor2: well that worked wonderfully actually, just off that they make it hidden [04:46] fishface: thanks for the link I will check it out... [04:46] holoseen: ok, good luck! [04:46] odd* [04:46] sam-_-: does this help: taraduffy-laptop NetworkManager[954]: disconnect failed: (32) The serial port is not open. [04:46] greezmunkey: iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 [04:46] yop129, oh sorry, I didn't realize you were having problems with a programs file browser. Thought you were being more technical. [04:46] chills518: another possible fix at --> http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprosecurity/thread/e30589d3-ab5a-4233-a199-7d5caf395875 [04:46] dr_willis: I will go and check now on that. I kind of remember enabling that on my windows pc... going to go and check on that right now.. thanks.. [04:46] ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=56070306d42a0c27c737275377c1583943fc81fe [04:46] greezmunkey: then I did " sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:47] dejavou42: I was going to say to try doing that, and then stop the network manager app. Once network-manager os off, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - and see if you can ping. If so, then get into resolv.conf and setup a dns server so you can use the web. [04:47] greezmunkey: to stop network manager app, just remove it from panel? [04:47] chills518: yea. theres some sort of extra security that win7 can use. that breaks some things, revielws some bugs in samba. [04:48] dejavou42: no, kill it. [04:48] r00t4rd3d: i installed it [04:48] taraduffy, which version of ubuntu are you running? [04:49] i cant get 10.10 to run on my book [04:49] noonian: nope, just trying to access a video file through vlc, that did it, i looked everywhere mount, media, everywhere, but yeah it ended up being hidden folder, that;s why i said it was kind of odd they made it like that, apparently u can't access the mount under places in vlc's open dialog [04:49] sam-_-: 10.10 [04:50] vlc just needs a button to show hidden files [04:50] usually you dont want to because there are a ton of them and they clutter up the browser [04:51] gamerx: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get -y upgrade [04:51] gamerx: i'm not too good with sound stuffs, also in a terminal run: alsamixer and be sure all levels are cranked and unmuted [04:51] NeoCicak, how are you changing themes ? [04:52] noonian: press CTRL+H when opening the file, it will show hidden files [04:52] taraduffy, might be a bug. did you update all the way? [04:52] sam-_-: yes, up to date. [04:52] noonian: vlc here has a 'show hidden files' in its right-click menus in the file browser window [04:53] greezmunkey: killed nm-applet, then restarted networking, but eth0 did not come up, so I did ifconfig eth0 up [04:53] yop129, well there you go :) thanks ActionParsnip and Dr_Willis [04:53] noonian: yep, i've tried it before, there's a lot, still haven't really gotten used to the linux file structure, windows was much more simpler, easier to find what was where in terms of programs and the files and clutter they leave behind [04:53] could be im using some differnt bersion of vlc. I recall the older versions not being quite as integgerated with gnome in how stuff worked [04:53] Dr_Willis: i'll check it, thanks :) [04:53] taraduffy, you can try to include maverick-update if you didn't already do that [04:53] greezmunkey: it didn't come up with an ip address at all [04:53] yop129: are you refering to stuff in .gvfs? [04:54] dejavou42: that's ok, you defined it in the interfaces file? [04:54] yeah specific files are tough to locate. getting to them is even tougher [04:54] yop129, if you say so hehe. That is one of the reasons I prefer Linux. [04:54] sam-_-: do you mean just run Update Manager? [04:54] but i still love linux [04:54] Dr_Willis: nah just general [04:54] noonian: why is that [04:54] with the exception of the flash issue [04:54] greezmunkey: sorry, I did an ifconfig, and no ip address [04:55] taraduffy, sudo software-properties-gtk [04:55] dejavou42: you should have only needed sudo ifup eth0 === Sazpaimon_ is now known as Sazpaimon [04:55] ActionParsnip, just going to restart brb [04:55] yop129, I know where programs tend to leave files around and where everything should be [04:55] noonian: harder to find what u need, with windows everything was either in program files or in ur user directory's locallapp folder [04:55] yop129: youo may find you find windows "simpler" due to experience [04:55] true [04:56] i dont ever really need to get at the individual files tho [04:56] yop129: I find the %windir% in windows to be hugely disorganised personally [04:56] sam_-_: sudo software-properties-gtk gets me: WARNING: can not get name for '' [04:56] dejavou42: but, if you defined the interface in /etc/network/interfaces, and then restarted networking, it should have come up on its own. [04:56] ActionParsnip: probably, it's just in the "root" directory windows has less folders and it "seems" simpler structure [04:56] ok i am back how do i delete this one sam [04:56] taraduffy, gksu software-properties-gtk [04:56] hold on [04:56] yop129, I also like having all the preferences in hidden files in the home directory because I can install a completely new system and still keep my preferences [04:56] yop129: yes but more data in single folders rather than subfolders is less organised surely... [04:57] someone have some type of user guide or something where i can learn how the folder structure of linux is organized? [04:57] open jdk java 6 policy tool [04:57] yop129: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html [04:57] greezmunkey: gotcha, did sudo ifup eth0. it went to the correct IP address, but still 100% loss on pings to router, and the route command still says that gateway is 192.168.0.0 [04:58] yop129, http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilestruct.html [04:58] yop129: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ also [04:58] greezmunkey: nm on the route command, just tested on the working box, and the first number is also 192.168.0.0 [04:59] sam? [04:59] yop129: and -> (worth reading) -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard [04:59] ActionParsnip, noonian, Dr_Willis these i'll read up on, maybe then the structure won't be as confusing, thanks for all the help [05:00] partyboy25, you said you installed icedtea? [05:00] partyboy25, then leave it installed [05:01] everything's looking to be getting better with 10.10, installed it like 2 weeks ago and my headphone ports which didn't work before work now, trouchscreen works now, amazing improvements [05:01] yeah i am leaving that one [05:01] dejavou42: Sounds like the subnet, not the gateway to me... [05:01] but how do i uninstall open jdk java 6 policy tool [05:02] dr_willis: that was it. I just uninstalled all the Windows Live stuff on my windows pc and I am in.. thank you! I have been trying to get this working now for 4 days and not once did I see any website mention the windows live stuff... thanks again! [05:02] partyboy25, icedtea depends on openjdk [05:02] sam-_-: its his java plugin tohis browser no? [05:02] chills518: yea. Its aparently actually a bug in samba. from what ive reeasearched.. but MS likes installing things that most people dont need also. :) i was having the issue with windows to windows machines as well [05:03] gn everyone gonna go watch a movie :) [05:03] itaylor57, if he install icedtea plugin then yes [05:04] taraduffy, are you trying the update? [05:05] sam-_-: the java sun 6 plugin for mozilla could conflict with ice tea? [05:05] greezmunkey: you're not going to believe this, but I changed the subnet to 255.255.0.0, and restarted networking, and ifup eth0, and now its working.... [05:06] on to my next and last issue... anyone know if they have a fix or workaround for getting DVDFab registration to work? [05:06] sam-_-: i came too late to the problem [05:06] dejavou42: I would guess that the dhcp server in your router is misconfigured then. [05:07] dejavou42: fix that problem, it will be easier than making custom adjustments on all of your machines. [05:08] what's about directx getting native into ubuntu? [05:08] is that just ignorants? is it wine getting built-in? [05:09] greezmunkey: [05:09] Agu10: wine built in? never heard of that. Wine does have some DX support now. the winetricks tweak script enalbrs some other DX features. [05:09] ok but [05:09] Agu10: built into what? [05:10] dejavou42: yes [05:10] built-in into ubuntu... [05:10] well then why would anyone use windows instead of wine on ubuntu? [05:10] greezmunkey: I believe its actually the ethernet port going bad on the laptop. When I move it a certain way, it works. otherwise it doesn't.... [05:10] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all ! [05:10] Agu10: wine is not perfect. and ti cant do 100% f all windows apps.. [05:10] right [05:10] !appdb | Agu10 [05:10] Agu10: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [05:11] but I guess that's not the problem. I think what keeps people away from ubuntu is it's so hard to set up [05:11] greezmunkey: oh well, I love a good laptop motherboard swapout... crap. thanks for the help. [05:11] and configure everything by using the command line... [05:11] and old commands [05:12] dejavou42: you could just be a few drops of solder away from fixing it too. [05:12] Agu10: wine is optional dude [05:12] !info wine [05:12] wine (source: wine1.2): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (dummy package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 39 kB, installed size 64 kB [05:12] how do i add a channel [05:12] ActionParsnip, yea I know... so what? [05:12] Agu10: thats not really the case much these days. do you have an actual support wuestion? or are just chatting? [05:12] Agu10: you were saying it's built into ubuntu earlier... [05:13] ActionParsnip, I heard directx was built-in [05:13] so I thought they might be talking about wine actually [05:13] greezmunkey: could be, either way, they didn't make this model hp easy to take apart. [05:13] Dr_Willis, actually, just chatting about ubuntu [05:13] How can I change default xdg user directories? [05:13] Agu10: ahh i see. Wine is a translation layer for directx so you dont need to install it. Directx is already handled [05:14] right. can I run wpf apps on wine? [05:14] * skraito say hi all [05:14] Agu10: whats 'wpf' stand for? [05:14] am I wrong if I say running apps on wine is slower than running them on windows? [05:14] ActionParsnip, sure [05:14] can some one help with a rather difficult install [05:15] Agu10: doom3 performs better in windows I read in some benchmarks [05:15] Agu10: in some cases ive seen wine run windows apps better. [05:15] Dr_Willis, cool [05:15] Agu10: what is a "wpu app" [05:15] Agu10: it all depends on the app and what its doing. I rarely need wine to run windows apps these days. [05:15] Chris: possibly, what's the issue? [05:15] windows presentation foundation (something like silverlight for desktop) [05:15] windowing system [05:15] how do i make a channel [05:15] I am trying to get ubuntu setup on a kinda frankien machine [05:16] Agu10: there is silverlight for linux [05:16] Dr_Willis, how do you run them then?? [05:16] I need to install on an external drive and boot to it [05:16] Dr_Willis: when I run windows apps I do need wine [05:16] but I keep getting grub rescue prompts [05:16] ActionParsnip, yeah but wpf is not silverlight, its like winforms [05:16] a newer winforms [05:16] Agu10: i'm not familiar with winforms [05:16] wps is xml winforms [05:16] no [05:16] chris|linux: boot to livecd and reinstall grub to the usb device [05:17] wpf is how any new gui should be like [05:17] but it's too slow [05:17] Agu10: can you give a link / screenshetc please [05:17] Agu10: i dont need the windows apps. because i find linux apps that do the same job for the most part. [05:17] screenshot* [05:17] Dr_Willis, lol, I see [05:17] is there a gui tool for directories syncronization? [05:18] Chris, yeah what ActionParsnip said [05:18] ActionParsnip, http://web20p-rs-g04.wikispaces.com/file/view/WPF-CAB.png/64269430/WPF-CAB.png [05:18] Agu10, only windows apps I need are games [05:18] ActionParsnip, http://community.devexpress.com/blogs/thinking/DXGrid%20for%20WPF.png [05:18] noonian, lol [05:18] well, I need lots of windows apps :S [05:18] Agu10: could probably do that in python without too much issue [05:18] I'm having a heck of a time getting sound with gtk-recordmydesktop. I've installed pulseaudio and set recordmydesktop's device to pulse, but I can't figure out how to get sound output from espeak (running in the terminal). [05:18] i'm now staying with windows :3 [05:19] Agu10: linux isn't always the answer :D [05:19] ActionParsnip, run those programs with python? [05:19] Agu10: no, make something similar [05:19] ActionParsnip: winforms reminds me of the old Hypercard on mac, and CanDo! on Amiga, (and other similer tools) from years past. :) [05:19] oh right. python is only the programming language [05:19] wpf is the windowing stuff [05:19] Agu10: far from it, the kernel has a lot of C in it [05:20] Any ideas? I'm happy getting just the complete wave mix on my computer as default audio, though being able to not record sound from my internal mic (which would just pick up typing noises) would be a bonus. [05:20] ActionParsnip, what are you talking about? [05:20] Agu10, wine will run most windows programs but no one will help you troubleshoot them except the wine people [05:20] noonian, ok [05:21] Steno, sorry I can't help you out there [05:21] Agu10: i suggest you consult the appdb to see if your app will run. [05:21] if I want something to run periodically in ubuntu, is there some gui app that manages tasks or do I just edit the crontab file. [05:21] what is wine [05:21] monty_hall: you can use gnome-schedule [05:21] !wine | PeterFabinskiMbl [05:21] PeterFabinskiMbl: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [05:21] ActionParsnip, i want to run my own apps xD [05:22] Agu10, http://www.mono-project.com/WPF [05:22] lol: wine people have 1 answer: buy cedega [05:22] monty_hall: if you run gnome-schedule with gksudo the thing will run as root [05:22] mschulze: no worries. Just thought someone might have used it before. A screencasting program without the ability to record audio is kind of, um... Not terribly useful? I know it's possible to make it work. I just don't know what I need to fiddle with. [05:22] feanor2, what for? [05:22] Agu10: yes but if they use this WPF stuff, you can search for that cant you. think about it [05:22] i just dont want to use commands ever. is that possible? [05:22] while still being able to set up stuff right [05:22] Agu10, no [05:22] Agu10, yes [05:22] Agu10: how do you mean 'commands'? [05:23] ActionParsnip, there are few programs using wpf actually... [05:23] ActionParsnip: thanks [05:23] ActionParsnip, command line commands [05:23] Agu10, that's because it was doomed from the beginning [05:23] sam-_-, im not talking about mono. about wine [05:23] Agu10: a lot of linux's power is in command line. it pays to learn it [05:23] Agu10, most command line programs have an optional gui frontend [05:24] noonian, really most of them?? [05:24] Agu10: a lot has been put in pretty guis so users can keep their hands glued to the mouse but as you use the OS you will see how slow the guis are and you can do most with a very simple command or 2 [05:24] what I dislike is those commands are old, and they don't have consistent conventions [05:24] [05:24] Agu10: ActionParsnip is right. That is true for all operating systems. But linux is made to be powerful so you have to know then [05:24] ActionParsnip, commands require you to learn them [05:25] Agu10, lol what do you mean by old? [05:25] Agu10, also there is a tendency to tell people how to do something using commands because it is much faster than describing which menus to navigate through and buttons to click [05:25] Agu10: not really, surely using a development tool like you have learned needs you to learn them too.. [05:25] sam-_-, they are VERY old... they are no real rules so that you know which parameter to use on all of them [05:25] they change from command to command [05:26] Agu10: you will learn them just as you learned windows and the other stuff I'm sure you use [05:26] ActionParsnip, actually, I just guess for most GUIs... i dont need to learn them [05:26] I end up learning them if I use them a lot [05:26] Agu10, commands are just the names of installed pieces of software. some are scripts and some are actual binary files. So the commands available is dependent on the software installed [05:26] Agu10: typing -h should tell you how to use a command [05:26] I guess keyboard shortcuts for GUIs are faster than command line commands, right? [05:26] Agu10, and man will give you info also [05:26] Agu10: exactly, guis exist in linux / ubuntu but they are terribly slow compared to their command line counterparts [05:27] right but commands are so old that you have to read separate docs [05:27] Agu10: depends on what they do etc, you can form complex scripts in shell script then have a shortcut launch it [05:27] like -h or man [05:27] whereas on GUIs you automatically have the info in the tooltip [05:27] Agu10, for instance it is easy to move all files from a directory with a specific word in the name to a difference one with one command, with a gui you need to click on each file. [05:27] Agu10: as you use them you dont use them, there are also helps online which give example commands [05:28] Agu10: you don't have to learn everything.. just important, frequently used ones [05:28] I'm trying to get a script to run at startup, but it won't. I've put it into /etc/init.d and made it +x, then ran update-rc.d scriptname defaults, but it does not run... [05:28] how to sort the text file? [05:28] noonian, actually, with a gui you can just type them and use keyboard shortcuts [05:28] tried to use kate but it seemingly cannot [05:28] ikonia [05:29] Agu10: until you have used linux as long as you have used windows so it is a fair comparison, you cant really speculate [05:29] they are old since documentation is separated from the program and it's hard to access [05:29] ok I can't find anything on reinstall grub and pointers on were to look [05:29] eroick, is the link to the script in /etc/rc2.d/ ? [05:29] Agu10, how would you select all files with the word "old" in the title inside a directory using a gui without clicking the files? [05:29] Agu10: the man pages are part of the installation of the package and are accessed by the common command:: man [05:29] Agu10: most linux programs come with regularly updated documentation [05:30] ActionParsnip, still mac OSX is easier than linux, and I have used osx really short time... [05:30] sam-_-: yes, as S80scriptname [05:30] File/Select files/*old* lol [05:30] Agu10: i have used both windows and linux for a very long time and administered both on LANs, I find Linux waaay easier and more automatable [05:30] Agu10, mac osx has the same default command line interface; bash. [05:30] noonian, you search for old, and then with arrow keys I guess [05:31] Agu10: the only way to get windows even close is to use powershell [05:31] how to sort a file in Kate or some other way? [05:31] sam-_-: and the script works fine if I execute the symlink [05:31] noonian, but you dont really need it [05:31] eroick, where is the script located? [05:31] bucky: /etc/init.d/ [05:31] yes, im not saying commands are bad [05:31] Agu10, ActionParsnip , go argue somewhere [05:31] commands are bad as they are now [05:32] they're old and haven't been updated to latest tech [05:32] else [05:32] hey guys [05:32] so that when you type a command a dropdown menu appears with all options [05:32] and info on what each one does... [05:32] Agu10: Also, debugging and fixing of errors is much easier if you use CLI because it gives you recognizable errors. A GUI just doesnt open [05:32] eroick, it should run. did you use /etc/init.d/skeleton? [05:32] DarkStar, hi [05:32] i got a problem can anyone help [05:32] DarkStar: Sure [05:32] what problem dark ? [05:32] DarkStar: wassup? [05:32] rs0832, it could as well send a message box saying what the error is... [05:32] sam-_-: nope... i just had a simple script. [05:33] DarkStar: Ask and if someone knows a solution, they will :) [05:33] skraito: a shortened nick doesn't get highlighted [05:33] Agu10: not always [05:33] Agu10, what if the entire window manager is down? [05:33] DarkStar, what problem [05:33] when i am playing any vid on youtube i don't get the sound [05:33] rs0832, also, you could make every program open a command line if they have an error [05:33] how to sort a file in Kate or some other way? [05:33] DarkStar: do you get sound elsewhere? [05:33] Agu10: brasero, nautilus, ubuntu software center, etc.. dont [05:33] eroick, and if you type runlevel it is 2? [05:33] rs0832, they were badly engineered? [05:33] Agu10: not exactly [05:34] when i play music files yes but not with internet vids [05:34] noonian, what if the command line is down? [05:34] Agu10, then so is the gui :P [05:34] DarkStar: can you use: http://pastie.org to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash; lsb_release -a [05:34] ok [05:34] noonian, no [05:34] Agu10: the command line doesnt work means nothing else works:) [05:34] xD [05:34] maybe [05:34] in the ubuntu crontab what is the "#" (first field) used for. BSD doesn't have one. [05:34] sam-_-: N 2 [05:34] DarkStar, is it just youtube or other sites [05:34] but still you will use commands just in case the window manager is down? === chad_ is now known as shmoopy [05:35] didn't tried [05:35] Agu10: yes [05:35] that's mad [05:35] Agu10: tel you what, you use what you use, we'll use what we use and we'll all be happy :) [05:35] Agu10, all the software to keep the os running has to reason to have a graphics, all that does is slow down the computer and introduce added complexity that causes more bugs, errors, and crashes [05:35] maybe its youtube. try a different music site [05:35] Agu10, which is why mac, linux, and windows (for the most part) keep the gui seperate from the os [05:35] nm :P [05:36] Agu10, the mac operating system is open source btw, its called darwin. Its the GUI that you are paying for. [05:36] ok but then why doesn't command lines have dropdowns to know what each command does? [05:36] and all its options [05:36] eroick, it should run. but maybe i'm wrong. try using the skeleton and paste your script in there [05:36] Agu10: it does [05:36] Agu10: that's what man pages are for [05:36] Agu10, they have files describing what they do [05:36] Agu10: because the dropdown would be massive [05:36] Question: How can I restart directly into terminal. I have 10.10 installed. [05:36] Agu10: just type -h [05:36] need help. all my media files audio & video plays too fast like it is being fast forward, it was working perfectly before & i get no sound. [05:36] Agu10: its not practical at all [05:37] Agu10: or man [05:37] Agu10: or man cp [05:37] lol typing -h or man is too slow [05:37] how to sort a file in Kate or some other way? [05:37] Agu10: read: man mencoder it's online if you dont have linux, it's massive [05:37] it meants you have to first open another terminal and read all the docs [05:37] here is the output http://pastie.org/1389071 [05:37] Agu10, a dropdown is not enough space to tell you how to use a non trivial piece of software [05:37] eroick, /etc/init.d/README the readme seems to emphasize my suspicion [05:37] whereas you could just have a dropdown and choose with arrow keys which command to choose [05:38] noonian, most options are trivially explained... [05:38] Agu10: its not practical [05:38] right? [05:38] Agu10: you obviously don't remember the pure MS Dos days.. no gui.. just dos.. and a reference manual you *might* have gotten when you bought that $2500 computer with 16 megs of ram... [05:38] or at least they should be trivial to use [05:38] what the best way to encrypt on-the-fly and backup files via ssh? [05:38] izinucs, i wasnt born then... [05:38] Agu10, also, how do you choose a drop down option from within a script? [05:39] what is the software for mp3 cutter in ubuntu [05:39] Agu10: my point exactly [05:39] Agu10: yes but you would have to pres the up/down key hundreds of times to reach a script [05:39] how do i password protect a folder, if possible? [05:39] the output of dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash; lsb_release -a is this http://pastie.org/1389071 [05:39] Agu10: my terminal has a possible 2265 commands, then there are all the options. Do you SERIOUSLY think a drop down is practical [05:39] noonian, you get that drop down in the IDE / script editor [05:39] how to SORT a file in Kate or some other way? [05:39] rs0832, no. you just start typing it... [05:39] any recommendation to periodically backup user directories? I current have a cron task that just tar's directories. Does ubuntu have anything like this? [05:40] also, they should be object oriented then... [05:40] and with proper naming [05:40] .. that's canned or some bin for this specific purpose. === Aric is now known as aric [05:40] Agu10: autocomplete? [05:40] files.open myfile.txt [05:40] DarkStar: sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin; sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:40] monty_hall, technically, but it's very primitive [05:40] :P [05:40] Agu10, object oriented has no meaning in this context. [05:40] rs0832, autocomplete with a dropdown [05:40] Agu10, object orientation doesn't solve everything. [05:40] noonian, why not? [05:40] Agu10: whynot just use cat or less to open a text file === aric is now known as ikester [05:40] !OT [05:40] #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! [05:40] noonian, actually it does [05:40] object oriented I mean organized in categories, etc [05:41] Agu10: this is all offtopic for this channel [05:41] am i not talking about ubuntu? [05:41] Agu10: it will be chatted about ni #ubuntu-offtopic [05:41] ActionParsnip: pastie.org has a *horrible* color scheme.. very hard to read.. pastebin.com works better for me. [05:41] Agu10: this is support ONLY [05:41] noonian, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_PowerShell [05:41] ok [05:41] Agu10: actually more about cli and GUI:) [05:41] izinucs: you can change the scheme with the drop down [05:42] Agu10: i agree.. may be this is better for #ubuntu-offtopic [05:42] HELP!: all my media files audio & video plays too fast like it is being fast forward, it was working perfectly before & i get no sound. can someone email me the solution? [05:42] ActionParsnip: ah.. ok.. much better.. the default is hard on my old eyes [05:42] izinucs: put it on brilliance black and you have no issue :) [05:43] dhanijeremy, why email? [05:43] dhanijeremy, what media player are you using? [05:43] good night all [05:43] ActionParsnip: no that is not as easy as "Clean".. [05:43] i'm going out now... working... [05:43] izinucs: i use it because every other user uses pastebin.com plus pastie doesnt have all the stuff on the left showing other users pastes. Who cares [05:43] izinucs: do you really need to see the last few posts by some random punters? [05:43] izinucs: not clean at all [05:44] sam-_-, maybe I am mistaking his argument? [05:44] Is there any reason why ubuntu (brasero) does not let me burn the ubuntu 10.10 desktop iso to a 700 mb cd? (Error- Please replace the disc with a supported one) [05:44] noonian, maybe. he was on a rant anyway. [05:44] rs0832: did you MD5 test the ISO? [05:44] sam my email is htc.dhani@gmail.com [05:44] ActionParsnip: yep [05:44] noonian, what i wanted to say is that objectorientation in a shell can make sense [05:44] ActionParsnip, still the sound isn't working [05:45] rs0832: i recommend gnomebaker. I have nothing but grief with brasero [05:45] noonian, like in the PowerShell [05:45] how to SORT a file in Kate or some other way? [05:45] DarkStar: well now you have the right plugin at least [05:45] ActionParsnip: not sure what you mean by "last few .. random punters" but for just readability sake.. clean works better for me.. now if it was a black background with green lettering that would sufice. [05:45] ActionParsnip: k .. will try, thanks:) [05:45] rs0832: the other option is k3b.. it's a kde app but will run fine on gnome. [05:45] izinucs: make a paste on pastebin.com then read the left colomn, look at all that pointless stuff [05:46] dhanijeremy, come back into irc when your done working. then we will help [05:46] izinucs: ok thanks :) [05:46] ok then [05:46] sam-_-, I see your point, but PowerShell seems like a domain specific programming language in its own right. I thought he was talking about a menu feature at an application level [05:46] thanks [05:46] ActionParsnip: yea but I only pay attention to what's relevant.. conditioning to ignoring google adds on searches etc. [05:46] noonian, ok. i'm tired. forgive me :-) [05:47] izinucs: sure but the page isnt clean, pastie's is [05:47] DarkStar: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204022 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1493233 [05:47] sam-_-, me too thanks for the insight :) [05:47] are there any cutting edge devs in the linux world right now ?? [05:47] ActionParsnip: you are right.. but the default color scheme isn't for me anyway.. glad to see that I can change it. [05:47] guiness, depends on how you define cutting edge [05:47] Is it normal that a boot from a usb flash startup drive (2GB) netbook remix is going to be much slower than a spinning platter hd? [05:47] guiness, yes but maybe not in the chat :P [05:48] guiness: the answer is "of course"....... [05:48] i was hoping for company names [05:48] guiness, hint !Microsoft [05:48] izinucs: thats for the user to decide and you can change :) [05:49] sam- in the linux world?? === lim is now known as Guest5693 [05:49] if that is true then why does linux video perf. fall soo short of windows [05:49] ActionParsnip: of course. and you pointed me in the right direction.. I didn't realize you could change the color scheme.. :) [05:49] guiness, that actually depends on the graphics card you have [05:50] izinucs: no worries, every day is a school day :) [05:50] i have a gateway nv79 book [05:50] guiness, nvidia [05:50] guiness, ? [05:51] umm i think intel graphics [05:51] guiness: lspci | grep -i vga will tell you [05:51] in a terminal [05:51] guiness, so it should perform pretty well in linux [05:52] yeah intel [05:52] web video totally sucks [05:52] guiness: which model!? [05:52] ActionParsnip, intel hd [05:52] guiness, that might be the version of flash you have installed if it is flash video [05:52] guiness: poor config dude, a biot of config and it'll fly [05:53] i have the latest beta [05:53] guiness, if you are using the free version you might try the non-free version [05:53] guiness: what is the output of: lsb_release -c === Tommi is now known as imT [05:53] guiness, yeah. that's adobes fault [05:54] non free version [05:54] ?? [05:54] sam-_-: changed it to use skeleton, still no dice. [05:54] guiness: what is the output of: lsb_release -c please [05:55] guiness, but still you should be able to play 1080p reasonably well. it works for me. i got intel hd too [05:55] im on 10.04 [05:55] it is lucid [05:55] guiness: some xorg.conf files which should help: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/133717 [05:55] eroick, then i'm afraid i can't help === squishy is now known as SquishyNotHere [05:56] guiness: Lucid is released so isn't the "latest beta", maverick has been released since [05:56] actionparsnip res is not my issue [05:56] web video [05:56] guiness: and natty is coming soon in april [05:57] sam-_-: yeah, its pretty odd. i can even use 'service scriptname start' and start it [05:57] i cant install 10.10 [05:57] ActionParsnip, i think he meant flash beta [05:57] guiness: the option may make the flash run a little nicer [05:57] sam-_-: ActionParsnip perhaps flash squared for 64 bit [05:57] ok thanx [05:58] how can you tell what version of flash is installed? [05:58] izinucs, i'm running 32-bit because of flash :-) === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [05:58] I tried installing ubuntu restricted extras but the download failed [05:58] noonian. about:plugins in your browser [05:58] sam-_-: flash squared works pretty well.. for most everything on 64 bit.. === SC-M is now known as Guest98658 [05:58] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128 === Guest98658 is now known as SC-C [05:58] how to change desktop login manager from GDM to KDM [05:58] I'm not sure what to do === SC-C is now known as SC-M [05:59] izinucs, ok. good to know [05:59] SC-C: on the screen where you login there should be a menu option to do that.. [05:59] sam-_-, thanks [05:59] izinucs: are you using the 64bit adobe plugin? [05:59] ActionParsnip: I am on my desktop [05:59] that's changing the DE [05:59] i mean, the Login Screen [05:59] I tried installing ubuntu restricted extras but the download failed, subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128 [06:01] hello [06:01] SC-M sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm should do the trick [06:02] SC-M: you can change the wallpaper and colour of the login screen currently [06:02] newbie, sudo apt-get clear then try again [06:03] SC-M: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 [06:03] sam-_-: i should type "sudo apt-get clear" into the terminal?

[06:14] lol it's damned filterm i need inplace sort [06:15] feanor2: Please consider the sort command or open it with openoffice/libreoffice. [06:15] calc takes just about anything as spreadsheet :) [06:15] newbie, oh maybe aptitude just isnt installed, I thought it was by default but I dont even have it installed [06:16] newbie: just change it for apt-get then, it'll still work [06:16] noonian: aptitude is not installed by default any more i think. [06:16] Dr_Willis: was just using marco's command lump he likes to throw around ;) [06:17] actually is synaptic even installed by default any more? I was thinking it was getting removed also. [06:18] Dr_Willis: dont think so, i think its all software centre now [06:18] ActionParsnip: What should it so just type that in(" apt-get") [06:18] ? [06:18] that's said because software centre sucks [06:19] newbie: just replace any occurrences of aptitude with apt-get [06:20] software center needs some sort of 'tag' feature. its way too hard to find stuff i know thats in there. :) [06:20] Dr_Willis: it needs to run faster too, waaay to slow for my liking [06:21] its nice how it can be installing stuff then i can be selecting/searching for other things to install..

[06:41] RayGalinato: you edited /etc/sysctl.conf ? if so then yes the changes get reapplied on every reboot [06:42] RayGalinato: looking at that file. Its all 'comments' so if you remove any changes. it would be back to the defaults. [06:42] Dr_Willis: Thank you! That helps a lot :) [06:42] @now EST [06:42] Current time in EST: December 19 2010, 01:42:58 [06:43] RayGalinato: Logical way to do things. :) I had to mess with the -> #kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3 [06:43] RayGalinato: line just the other day for a laptop with some odd hardware [06:43] PeterFabinskiMbl, what command do you use to start it ?

[07:01] DR_Willis: I did most of the posts say it is not possible because the devs disabled in in 10.10. [07:01] Dr_Willis Do you think that the ssh server is installed on the vps? [07:01] I was hoping to get a work around. [07:01] maxinux61: perhaps it will get reneabled in 11.04 - or the ppa's for the lateext X will have it. [07:02] Syria: how can i tell.. its your server. if they dont have ssh setup.. then how are they expecting you do actually 'do' anything on it?

Open a terminal and type in: sudo apt-get update then: sudo apt-cache search opsview then it will come up with the name of the package in the repositories. I guess this is for everyone that doesn't know package names. Also synaptic is a great gui front-end for [07:06] apt-get.

[07:08] Us3r_Unfriendly: true but for apt-cache it's not needed [07:08] Us3r_Unfriendly: ubuntu 10.04 [07:08] Thnx for your imput ActionParsnip [07:09] hey guys i need some help [07:09] nirazio: are you using the ubuntu repos [07:09] nirazio: you should have the package in 10.04 [07:10] Us3r_Unfriendly: I think i should add the repo for installing opsview..

You never want 2 firewalls running at the same time. They're both are front-ends for "iptables" [07:54] Guest13613, oh! okay :).

[08:03] iszak, sorry "apt-cache show" :P [08:03] OneTonTurd: you could used the dd command to create a iso of the disk and mounted the iso too [08:03] but that works...i usually deal with iso's [08:04] dnivra, thanks once more. [08:04] krishna_37, what happens when you try to boot? [08:04] OneTonTurd: sorry misread...if you have the disk no reason to create a iso. need coffee [08:04] cryptic1: your working on the premiss that ubuntu/linux is as unsecure as windows. all apps you install with ubuntu if you use packages has been verified and key verified as being the real thing [08:04] iszak, no problem. sorry about the mix up :).

[08:07] Us3r_Unfriendly> It wasn't so bad. This is my first real time going full linux with no dual boot. so [08:07] sorry i am not very good with the terminology [08:07] cryptic1: the rootkits you found are tools used to check for rootkits [08:07] yes [08:07] Us3r_Unfriendly, im gonna kill you for showing me that video [08:07] krishna_37, it seems that disk boot error is a problem with 9.10. check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287583.

Now I try to connect using rdp which wont work. vista has allowed remote and desktop. But on linux host I can't connect [08:08] any ideas [08:08] Dr_Willis, that's what I thought, but I believe it was. [08:08] Oh well, I will just make it, thanks anyway Dr_Willis. [08:08] cryptic1: if you stick to the software center you are 99.999% guaranteed safe (nothing is 100%) [08:08] iszak: i doubt it.. then again. if it came out a few days/weeks bnefor.. they dont snapshot everything on the exact day [08:08] did it say hostip? [08:08] oops [08:08] iszak: look for ppa's [08:09] cryptic1: one I beleave in is something like tripwire http://remoteadmin.org.uk/tutorials/42-linux/56-tripwire-ubuntu I also note changes in my system with git that monitors changes and my commits that I comment. [08:10] r00t4rd3d: why you say that? [08:11] gdebi is a really backward step IMHO ... only a matter of time before the same "you need X codec to see this video" scam sites start including a .deb along with the usual .exe and .dmg malware installer .... [08:11] didnt really know to much about compiz [08:11] but for now you're safe ;) [08:11] thanks [08:11] r00t4rd3d: so your going to kill me over compiz? that's new [08:12] zcat[1]: malware is always a given. no operating system can protect a user from themselves. [08:12] Dr_Willis: you also try to help ppl that quit on you half way through? [08:13] Us3r_Unfriendly: i do have a life/./ and a sick wife.. [08:13] Us3r_Unfriendly: i try to help when i can. [08:13] Dr_Willis: I do as well [08:13] even if they get my name wrong 100 times [08:13] industry__: the whole concept of package management and trustworthy software repositories though it probably as close as you can get.. gdebi really breaks that. [08:14] now i have new addiction [08:14] :/ === dangerFlakes_ is now known as dangerFlakes [08:14] Dr_Willis: that's why i was calling you Dr_Williams...i started laughing after he was calling you the wrong name [08:14] r00t4rd3d: what's that? [08:14] hello I have a question, I found this site http://www.andlinux.org/downloads.php what do you guys suggest [08:14] zcat[1]: there was always dpkg. gdebi makes it graphical. that's the only difference. [08:14] It's like we threw away Linux's biggest advantage because Windows users want to be able to click an installer on a website like they do in Windows.. but they left windows because of the malware problems. Hello?!! [08:14] r00t4rd3d: hopefully not killing me [08:15] to run linux virtually on vista [08:15] nah messing with compiz [08:15] :) [08:15] r00t4rd3d, is that fir me? [08:15] so really the problem is that it's too easy. which sure, it is. which is why you need the big warnings that say only install packages from trustworthy sources. [08:15] Scutum: that worked decently well when i tried it. However. Youmay need to know some linux allready to make it work right. and it was 32bit os only [08:15] r00t4rd3d: in that video I was using "the experimental plugins" from compiz's site. you'll need "git" [08:15] Scutum, no [08:15] i got them [08:15] Hello world!!I have a problem with mounting.When I connect an external hard drive via usb then automount does not work and the error exit code 1 shows up saying I need to be superuser to mount.The /etc/fstab shows "user" as one of the options.Also I changed the ownership of the mount folders to my name using--- chown +R myname foldername [08:16] Scutum, just install wubi :D [08:16] varun_: mount the drive manually [08:16] industry__: I guess we'll see. I still think gdebi is a mistake [08:16] varun_: or change the /etc/fstab [08:16] wubi [08:16] ok Il give it a try [08:16] thank [08:16] Scutum, you could just run it in virtualbox right? [08:16] scutum: also virtualbox by oracle [08:16] makes it far too easy for noobs to end up running some untrusted script as root.. [08:16] zcat[1]: gdebi is not installed by default any more. ubuntu software center is the default app to open .deb packages now [08:16] !virtualbox | Scutum [08:16] Scutum: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [08:17] Dr_Willis: Oh.. that's good! [08:17] although does it just do the same thing gdebi did though? [08:17] @Us3r_Unfriendly what should I change the fstab to? [08:17] hardly, if the package center does the same thing. in ubuntu, though, it's not always about the apps [08:17] zcat[1]: And ive never noticed gdebi being able to 'add' repos/ppa's - it just pulls in stuff from the allready setup repos as needed [08:17] varun_: what format is this usb drive in? ext4? [08:17] zcat[1]: so i dont see gdebi being an issue [08:17] r00t4rd3d: wubi is not the greatest...it's Ubuntu running inside a running windows os. If you get a bad malware that effects you so you can't boot, you'll not be able to use linux either [08:18] Dr_Willis: it was a graphical .deb package installer. [08:18] It has 3 partitions [08:18] from my experience with it. didn't use the repositories. [08:18] zcat[1]: i have se3en .deb's that auto-add their own ppa. that could be a risk.. but so is downloading a .deb from any source in the frst place. [08:18] one is ntfs and the others ext3 [08:18] Dr_Willis: no.. you go to http://scumware.org/ and you click on 'rootme.deb' and it offers to open that in gdebi (or now software centre I guess) and then prompts for the user's password so it can run it as root under gksu [08:18] r00t4rd3d, is wubi the way to go you think? [08:18] industry__: it pulls in ne3eded packages from the repos for a given deb. [08:18] varun_: i would suggest mounting it manually from the command line but you'll need "fdisk;mount;and maybe mkdir [08:18] malware cant touch me [08:19] cant get the nvidia drivers to activate. any one know why? [08:19] r00t4rd3d: yeah [08:19] just like installing some random exe or msi under windows [08:19] zcat[1]: so what do you expect it to do exactly? [08:19] r00t4rd3d: well stick to the repos for life to be more safer than [08:19] not exactly. at least you have to type a root password under ubuntu/linux. in windows, all you had to do was look at the file funny. [08:19] Scutum, i wouldn't recommend it- partitioning is always what i'd recommend. try running it in virtualbox if you want. [08:20] @Us3r_Unfriendly I connect the hard drive when I need to save something but everytime I do do I need to mount it manually?Shouldnot this behaviour be automated? [08:20] gdebi's main feature is it can pull in needed deps for foo.deb vs. just doing a 'sudo dpkg -i foo.deb' [08:20] r00t4rd3d: why did you say kill back there? some might take that serious [08:20] Scutum, wubi basically installs ubuntu like a program. When you boot you can choose windows or ubuntu [08:20] Dr_Willis: I'd prefer it opens some dialog that advises the user to install 'rootme' via the ubuntu repos (if the package exists) [08:20] Scutum: I reccomend trying ubuntu in virtualbox if you wan tit. [08:20] varun_: yes it should but it isn't hard to do. [08:20] It is not required when I connect a Usb.Also the same external drive has a virtual CD which mounts automatically [08:20] zcat[1]: i do belive ive seen such messages/dialogs in either gdebi, or the software center. [08:20] Dr_Willis, a virtual box [08:20] Dr_Willis, wow, all I had to do was reformat :( [08:21] zcat[1]: [08:21] varun_: I assume you use uuid in your fstab file? I'm not sure about ntfs, that could be the problem. is ntfs the first of the partitions? [08:21] hey guys [08:21] zcat[1]: 'package exists in a newer version int he repos' or some such message. [08:21] Dr_Willis, what virtual box do you suggest? [08:21] is anyone as excited as i am over the prospect of a second korean war???? [08:21] :D [08:21] !virtualbox | Scutum [08:21] Scutum: err.. 'virtualbox' :) from the vbox homepage [08:21] !virtualbox | Scutum [08:21] @Us3r_Unfriendly It is not hard ,I open gparted and then click on each and say mount and that does it. [08:21] anyone? [08:21] r00t4rd3d; Scutum i also think it's more safer to create another partition and installing ubuntu without wubi. [08:21] !vbox | Scutum [08:21] its going to be AWESOME [08:21] Scutum: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'.

Nvidia restricted drivers wont activate, keep getting a System error about broken pkgs [08:23] hmmm.. does this mean they'll make a sequel to MASH?

IF you got 32bit windows. [08:23] i was ablr to update and upgrade fine, btw, no errors there [08:23] Scutum: theres other ways to do it also. but i use vbox normally [08:23] ok [08:24] Scutum, virtual box is best. no hassles, no worries. just you need to boot windows to use ubuntu-perfect to try out :) [08:24] hello everyone [08:24] Scutum: alright, Dr_Willis offered virtualbox which is a great choice, or just use wubi [08:24] dangerFlakes: check the forums for tips on fixing 'broken packages' pastebin the exact error messages for the channel to read [08:24] Scutum: wubi does not run alongside windows. it installs 'under' windows. [08:24] Dr_Willis, you mean adlinux right? [08:25] I want something simple hussle free [08:25] wubi [08:25] wubi wont do it then [08:25] andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7; 32-bit versions only). [08:25] varun_: I see two that must be your problem /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4 but I thought you said they were usb drives [08:25] http://www.andlinux.org/ [08:25] Dr_Willis, thank you [08:25] as i said.. its 32bit ONLY.. [08:25] your always limited with VM's i think [08:26] so i cant even use it any more [08:26] but with wubi ubuntu will start in windows. i believe it uses the windows mbr too [08:26] andlinux is a specialized qemu (i think) setup. [08:26] SystemError E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [08:26] with wubi You boot to linux, or windows. andlinus spawns a virtual machine, that then uses xming/vnc to make linux apps appear on the windows desktop [08:26] not in windows , dual boot [08:26] varun_: I'm not sure if it's possible for ntfs but you should use the uuid instead of /dev/sda4 as the drive definition [08:26] Us3r_Unfriendly, I would like to use linux a a windows application [08:27] what is diffrence between sudo -s and sudo -i ? [08:27] not as a partititon [08:27] dangerFlakes: so unhold/remvoe the held packages perhaps. [08:27] vipul: the enviroment variables from what i recall [08:27] i want use ubuntu ce [08:27] @sacarlson the sda 3 and 4 are fine coz they are partitions of the internal hard drive and get mounted at boottime.All the drives named sda are the problem coz they [08:27] How do I update the catalogue in Ubuntu Software Center? [08:27] how do you do that, im super new at this [08:27] are the ones parts of ext hard drive and they are [08:27] andlinux would be best [08:28] is what I get from all this answers [08:28] varun_: then witch of these disks entries is not automounting? [08:28] connected via ext USB. [08:28] sorry [08:28] all drives named sdb are problems [08:28] Dr_Willis: but you have the option of booting from which ever want from the windows "host", it's hard to explain but it's like it's installing it inside of windows, not creating a seperate partition [08:28] is there an 'easy' way to change file type icons ? (ex: change a folder icon inside a specific theme) [08:28] Dr_Willis, sory i dont understand [08:29] How to allow ping requests from 82.113.128.33 for example?

[08:34] how can i change my booting option i.e with out pressing the enter button to linux it should go to the linux like windows does [08:34] You dont edit grub.cfg by hand. Youedit the proper grub /etc/default/grub file and rerun update-grub, [08:34] Us3r_Unfriendly: no timeout in grub [08:34] sivakumar: whats it going to now? [08:34] Us3r_Unfriendly: i understand, but thats too complicated for something that should be simple like how windows implemented it, but oh well, u win some....

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [08:35] sivakumar, do you want a default boot [08:35] Dr_Willis, it showing two os one is linux and the other is windows [08:35] nit-wit, yes [08:35] sivakumar: so its not timing out and defaulting to #1 ? [08:35] Thanks, dnivra. I'll take a look [08:35] deddly, it's a known bug. [08:35] sivakumar, install startup manager in Ubuntu [08:35] @dinvra howdy [08:36] Dr_Willis: i have the same problem [08:36] but im only running one OS [08:36] sivakumar, I'm assuming this is apartitoned install not wubi [08:36] Weazel: well windows might be the os for you...i don't mean that in a mean way either [08:37] Dr_Willis, where [08:37] cryptic1, do you think someone is trying to hack your box ? [08:37] sivakumar: by default gruvb waits like 10 sec. then goes to the first entry here. [08:37] lol [08:37] sivakumar: its set in /etc/default/grub [08:37] r00t4rd3d: it can be done from here [08:37] just paranoid and delusional i guess [08:37] so i want to know how to check these things [08:38] but your root pass is 123 [08:38] :P [08:38] Hello! Someone can help me? I cannot input sound from the pink jack of my headset. [08:38] Us3r_Unfriendly: if i weigh Microsoft's evil/probs/bugs/impotantancy vs the freedom of linux, then i'll stick to manual... (just wanted to know if there is a gui like filetypes thingie thats all) [08:38] Emmanuel_Chanel: that's for recording [08:38] How can I "merge" two txt files into one file, as happens with SVN when there is no conflict (status G)? [08:38] Emmanuel_Chanel, sudo apt-get install alsamixer [08:38] ok. I try. [08:39] joakimk: you mean put file2 at the end of file1? or some more complex mergeing? [08:39] something like "merge file1.txt file2.txt > file.txt" [08:39] i'm able to manually tether my iphones internet connection, does anyone know how to to configure ubuntu 10.10 so that once the usb cable is plugged in, the tethering connection is automatically brought up? [08:39] joakimk: use 'cat' [08:39] Us3r_Unfriendly: if u would see how my desktop looks like right now, u'll know why i wanted somthing like that :D its so beautiful its killing any Mac or windows or whatnot [08:39] How do I change the default runlevel? [08:39] Weazel: i haven't seen a app for that. I manually innertwine my icons themes together and that's how i do it [08:39] rkvirani: ubuntu dosent use runlevles like other disrtos do [08:39] Dr_Willis: no, I want changes in file1 and file2 to be used, both, as long as they don't conflict... [08:39] !runlevel [08:39] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [08:39] !ftp [08:39] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [08:39] xbmc [08:39] Dr_Willis, how to set them [08:40] Weazel: take a screenshot and post it on www.imageshack.us [08:40] aight sec [08:40] dnivra: Fixed that problem, thanks! [08:40] sivakumar: check the grub2 docs/guides - It should be listed near the top opf /etc/default/grub [08:40] Does anyone know if there is a simple command to test sound? [08:40] Dr_Willis: that's why i frown apon ubuntu. the rc levels and the xorg.conf upset me a ton when they first changed it [08:41] deddly: sound is very complicated in linux. [08:41] Dr_Willis: but i still love it at the same time [08:41] sivakumar, here is a great tutorial on tweaking grub2 look in the signature for more grub fun. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602 [08:41] there are a few different sound servers. [08:41] rkvirani: Yes I [08:41] pulse and alsa [08:41] rkvirani: Yes I am just getting to realise that lol [08:41] Dr_Willis: Did that make sense? Like, if line 1 is changed in file1, and line 3 is changed in file2, I want the output file to contain *both* of these modifications [08:41] to start === jofo_ is now known as jofo [08:42] rkvirani: I just though there might be a simple sound sample I could play to see if it's working [08:42] joakimk: what if theres a blank line ahead of one line thats ot changed.. it can get complex. [08:42] Us3r_Unfriendly: upstart is much cleaner then sysv stuff. it was a needed change. [08:42] Dr_Willis: well, then I'd want to have that line... I see your point. But SVN does this, right? [08:42] joakimk: no idea. I dont code much [08:42] joakimk: your going to deffinitly wanna look more into that via the web. Rc manages the daemons and other auto starting services you'll need [08:42] Anyone know how to change the default runlevel in ubuntu, I cant find /etc/inittab!!! [08:43] ok, I think i figured it out, conflicting nvidia drivers [08:43] the one i have installed is not metting me remove it and install the correct one [08:43] Us3r_Unfriendly: what's Rc? [08:43] Dr_Willis: i agree with upstart [08:43] deddly: I think there might be one in your home directory [08:44] joakimk: /etc/rc.local [08:44] joakimk: your runlevels [08:44] rkvirani: ubuntu dosent use runlevels any more. what are you trying to acomplish by altering runlevels? [08:44] Us3r_Unfriendly: ah. Thanks. [08:45] rkvirani: ok...well I can't see one. Never mind [08:45] !inittab [08:45] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[08:48] You dont hear a lot about gentoo these days. :) [08:48] when lubuntu gets officially supported - i bet it will take off big time [08:48] gentoo seems that it is sort of like BSD [08:48] i think ive tried every linux distro made [08:48] which im also a lil curious about [08:48] Dr_Willis: I use a live gentoo disk to remove malware from windows machines when I have customers [08:49] what do you use on gentoo to remove crapware from windows???

[08:54] Dr_Willis: I only installed OSS because I thought it might help me get rid of the crackling noise [08:54] Dr_Willis, thanks, but what is other way ? [08:55] Us3r_Unfriendly: thanks :D, many things intertwined to create all of that, got a bit lazy with the icons, since i need to change the icons manually every single place from small to big ^_^ thats why i asked [08:55] deddly: youmay want to try updaeting the alsa drivers/system. [08:55] Us3r_Unfriendly: oh well i guess its time to get back to work now [08:55] wow pidgin and kmess look the same :/ [08:55] rkpisanu: you can set up sudo to allow specific commands perhaps. [08:55] but how to do it [08:55] Dr_Willis, i want to avoid sudo [08:55] lol [08:55] rkpisanu: then use fuse. that would be the safest way i imagine [08:55] meg what distro r u using???

[08:58] can't [08:58] this one uses ARM as well [08:59] ShaRose: they are basically going to use what they came with then. reason i wouldent let her get one. [08:59] zeppelin101: yes but it's safe to do it from a live cd though [08:59] ShaRose: ther are ARM based ubuntu/linux ouyt. if it can boot from flash [08:59] plzzz tell me how to install yahoo messenger for linux and download it [08:59] Yeah [08:59] trying to get it to do that [09:00] meg_: use one of the many IM clients in the package manager software center. most all of them can do Yahoo and many other Im chat protiocals at the same time.

[09:00] meg , we need to know what distro of linux are you running , ubuntu ? [09:00] meg_: install and use pidgin perhaps. 'sudo apt-get install pidgin' [09:00] ubuntu [09:00] Us3r_Unfriendly: also, do i need to unmount a FS before i can re-size it? ( i think yes..) [09:00] zeppelin101: definatly YES [09:01] zeppelin101: i tend to use live cd's to do that task. so everything is unmounted [09:01] meg open a terminal and type this sudo apt-get install pidgin [09:01] Dr_ thanks [09:01] meg_: i agree with r00t4rd3d [09:02] meg or you can get it in the synaptic package manager [09:02] meg if you are using ubuntu, than just use empathy to IM people using the yahoo protocal. is there some thing special you are trying to do that empathy does not support??

[09:07] or just go to meebo.com to do your IM work. [09:08] see this http://narcistux.wordpress.com/ [09:08] I think theres some alterantive to meebo these days also. [09:08] dr willis, since that mostall distors have some IM client that works with almost all IM's it is almost pointless to use anything else [09:10] though IMHO i think empathy is garbage, and kopete is fairly decent, pidgin still takes the fame [09:10] hey [09:10] I need help installing Qwest wireless internet that has Vista crap on it [09:10] I got the self installation [09:11] * skraito hi guys need tester for http://yohanespatra.wordpress.com/2010/12/19/0x71-perl-logger-to-syslog-simple-key-logger/ sory to advertise is a simple keylogger using syslog [09:11] >>> uh be more specific [09:11] Please use my name to let me know your talkin to me [09:11] the pidgin is complete what do next [09:11] meg_: run pidgin [09:12] Can anybody help me to install Qwest wireless [09:12] it should be in themenus. somewhere [09:12] how run pidgin [09:12] meg_: Look in the menus? === Wm is now known as iJWM [09:12] or run 'pidgin' from a terminal [09:12] I got my terminal up but dont know how to install it?

[10:33] databits: i just 'unp archivename' and it extracts it for me 99.999% of the time. :) [10:33] But the mic input works slowly. But I don't know what keywords to search by. Someone can help me? [10:33] Dr_Willis: whatchu talking about willis (sorry, couldn't resist), but seriously the source code might have documentation inside it? [10:34] Bye. [10:34] has anyone had problems with vncserver/x11vnc randomly restarting gdm? which requires me to ssh and restart x11vnc/vncserver again, need assistance. only randonly restarts gdm when vnc is loaded btw. [10:34] Might [10:34] I see there's a community project to put ubuntu on intel macs, but is it pretty unstable? [10:34] yop129: if it dosent.. well.. we cant learn about stuff thats not documented/exists... [10:34] How do I refresh network setting in /etc/network/interfaces without rebooting the computer? [10:35] deanc, you mean ppc? it works fine on intel macs [10:35] deanc: ive never heard it called unstable.. its intel hardware basically. with just a few changes. Check the forums perjhaps? it seems used quite a lot. [10:35] deanc: ppc - is a WHOLE nother disaster. :) [10:35] dalbelo: ifup / ifdown will do the trick [10:35] dalbelo: ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 [10:35] thx [10:35] He's probably referring to EFI [10:35] bazhang, Dr_Willis: well im thinking of buying a macbook air but I *really* dont wanna use OSX [10:36] dalbelo: its better to do ifdown before you fiddle with interfaces file [10:36] deanc: then why spend the extra $$$? i dont see the point. [10:36] why spend so much on a macbook air? [10:36] lol [10:36] no point then [10:36] deanc, works perfectly well on my intel iMac [10:36] because it's so pretty and light! [10:36] deanc, yeah, why spend so much money on looks [10:36] deanc: buy 2 normal laptops.. and you dont have to carry it around. [10:36] Because I have the money to waste? :) [10:36] deanc, hardware isn't worth the $$$ [10:36] By all means *please* find me a laptop that thin with same specs :> [10:36] deanc: then waste it on your local charity [10:36] Dr_Willis: its for someone who already has a mac [10:37] JimboLimbo: try #virt at irc.oftc.net. [10:37] You can get some very nice useable laptops in the $500 range. [10:37] !ot [10:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[10:37] JimboLimbo: for your VNC problem [10:37] hello guys [10:37] but its a problem on ubuntu [10:37] could someone help me with 10.10 install [10:37] Ok ed === yunhee is now known as yun [10:38] Fire away [10:38] Eduard: wat do u need [10:38] ok I got it working now :) [10:38] JimboLimbo: yes. but you might get help there too. it's for gtk based vnc, i think [10:38] i want to install nvidia-96 drivers, after install i run nvidia-xconfig as root, so that new xorg.conf could be created [10:38] after rebot i get to tty1 [10:38] im having problems with any vnc in general [10:38] so the driver doesn't work [10:38] remote desktop/vncserver/x11vnc [10:39] ok now I have another question... I do alot of web development, and I was using dreamweaver. Would "wine" run dreamweaver well, or is there a application that is up to par with dreamweaver that is designed for linux ? [10:39] any ideas??? [10:39] databits: osalt.com [10:39] Seems solved by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [10:39] databits and wine can run certain versions check it at winehq.com [10:40] Ed, can you startx [10:41] didin't try, I'm now on fedora, I'll reinstall my system back to ubuntu and try it, and btw, deleting xorg.conf and restarting system seems to do the trick [10:41] Did you tweak the file [10:42] no, it was default, generated by nvidia-xconfig [10:42] hi, i have a problem with conky [10:43] is there an empty trash button in ubuntu that will empty the .local trashfiles for the users? [10:43] maybe, it has something to do with nouveau, maybe nouveau and nvidia driver are conflicting? [10:43] Probably, it's messy [10:43] when i write "$audacious_status" in .conkyrc there is "${audacious_status}" in conky showed up [10:43] i bought airtel datacard nd my internet is working properly bt orkut and fb are nt opening in my ubuntu firefox ???????? [10:43] help? [10:44] Hi, I'm trying ro run a .py file but it says command not found, I'm really a linux noob... [10:44] honk [10:45] Are you in the right directory [10:45] morcegolas: write in terminal "sudo apt-get install python" [10:45] all other sites are responding very fast [10:45] medy_ drivers? [10:45] a_: I think i have python, let me see [10:45] a_: conky has a its own support channels. and a forums and many faq's out. You may want to check. I havent messed with conky in ages. but i imagine the issue is proberly a typo, find an example that does what you want. and cut/paste from it [10:45] Friar: for all users? not that ive ever seen. that could be 'bad' [10:45] where's conky's irc channel? [10:45] which drivers??? [10:46] a_: try #conky ? check conky homepage. [10:46] in freenode? [10:46] exit [10:46] dr_willis: I have wine installed but I'm not sure how to run the program [10:46] Hi! I just upgraded my laptop from 10.04 to 10.10, and my WLAN broke. It can see my network, but connecting to it fails. Weirdly enough, I did manage to connect once, but there was about 50% packet loss with ping. My network is ok, verified via another computer, and the WLAN did work perfectly in 10.04. Any ideas? [10:46] Dr_Willis, how about for 1 user? [10:47] hav installed all drivers [10:47] Did you upgrade or clean install [10:47] pls elp me [10:47] Hi, I'm trying ro run a .py file but it says command not found, I'm really a linux noob... Please help me [10:47] sagaci: was that directed to me? I upgraded, not clean install. [10:48] Dr_Willis, I can definitely see how that could be bad. I have a 30GB SSD in my laptop and my wife has a tendency to fill it with pictures.....even though she has an external drive dedicated to this. [10:48] hey hey good people.. Im having an issue here.. When I click on a URL with any app, it opens Gedit instead of a new tab in firefox.. any ideas how to amend this? [10:48] and its not prefered application, I looked :( === hekos is now known as Hekos [10:49] morcegolas: you have to "python (command.py) [10:49] " [10:49] databits: I'll try, thanks [10:49] how do I go about opening "wine" once I have the package installed ? [10:50] databits: it should be in the menu, and from command line you can run it with "wine " [10:51] It's under applications [10:51] anybody in freepascal here [10:51] it is not showing up in the menu [10:51] Or right click an exe [10:51] databits: I don't think there's much for running wine by itself, though, as it's an emulator you should be running some program with wine, instead of just wine itself. [10:51] anybody wanna chat ? [10:52] well I want to see if I can run the new cs5 dreamweaver on here [10:52] databits: I think it also associates itself with .exe, so if you try opening and .exe with file manager, it probably runs it with wine automatically [10:52] Ubuntu is very cool ! [10:52] databits: for example, if you want to install something with "setup.exe", just find that file and run it, or either run from the command line "wine setup.exe" [10:52] moruz i agree :D [10:53] thank you [10:53] what is a good cd emulation program ? [10:53] databits: To do what task exactly? [10:53] Hi! I just upgraded my laptop from 10.04 to 10.10, and my WLAN broke. It can see my network, but connecting to it fails. Weirdly enough, I did manage to connect once, but there was about 50% packet loss with ping. My network is ok, verified via another computer, and the WLAN did work perfectly in 10.04. The problem disappears when starting with an earlier kernel via grub. Any ideas what to do here? [10:53] virtulbox databits [10:54] databits: to work around game copy protection? thats not really going to work. You can moutn ISO files easially enough [10:54] I have 3 gig's of ram in this machine [10:54] Its a bit slow on my machine, Pentium4 2 processors... although I've tweaked everything I could as much as I could, now it's much better but still, not as fast as WinXP, anyway I like it all the same at least it's free and opensource ! [10:54] if I'm going to do a virtual machine... how much would be a good set ammount for windows ? [10:55] That is, after upgrade to 10.10 my WLAN fails with latest kernel 2.6.35-23-generic but works with 2.6.32-26-generic. Is there anything I can do to fix this? [10:55] drive soace databits? [10:55] spce [10:55] space === aaron_ is now known as randomnick [10:55] I have 120 gig === randomnick is now known as clarkgriswold [10:55] databits: depends on what youa re doing in the virtual machine [10:56] it depends on what your going to use windows for iguess [10:56] I'm gonna leave, goodbye everybody, will be back some other time... cheers. [10:56] databits: give it 512mb. its trival to change later [10:56] r we talking RAM or drive space here? [10:56] I was thinking a gig [10:56] databits: so go for it.. its trivial to change [10:57] because dreamweaver takes up a nice ammount of space [10:57] i have always allocated 1024 for RAM inn VB [10:57] Ileden, try installing linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless [10:58] Ileden, that would be linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.35-23-generic [10:58] winstonsmith, doesnt that only work woth his current kernel version??? [10:59] neverwhere, yes but that is his current kernel [10:59] That is, after upgrade to 10.10 my WLAN fails with latest kernel 2.6.35-23-generic but works with 2.6.32-26-generic. Is there anything I can do to fix this? why roll back? [11:01] he would need to roll back the kernel modula, which will not work in his case [11:01] #windows [11:01] gkby [11:02] Нечто! тут? [11:02] Where do I find laptops that ship with ubuntu or another linux dist? [11:03] Zareason [11:03] System76 [11:03] Stava: err.. google? and look for companies in your area? system76 is one such company [11:03] Stava: dell also does it still. [11:03] Dr_Willis, I tried :o [11:03] Dr_Willis, well those are only low tier computers [11:04] i belive system76 can do rather high end things.. so you need to do some resarch i guess. [11:04] Alright then [11:04] thanks [11:04] neverwhere: ok, I don't know what rolling back a kernel module meand. I'm pretty lost with inner workings of kernels, basically I just know they contain the "drivers" for devices and I can choose which one to run (no idea what that actaully causes, though). [11:04] yeah i hate having to buy windows license to just wipe the disk clean and install linux distro [11:04] Theres dozens of smaller pc makers that can also ship machines without windows. [11:04] neverwhere: buy a license, good one :P [11:05] neverwhere: of course, if it won't work in my case anyway, no need to know :) [11:05] thats basically what we end up doing. we buy a license for microsoft windows whatever, then we end up formating the drive anyway === UNBELIEVABLE is now known as mister [11:06] lol === bryan is now known as bryan_ubuntu === mister is now known as mister_Jibs [11:06] gnome-look.org is down wow [11:06] Oh right, I get a weird keyboard layout (for me) if I buy at zareason or system76 :( [11:07] hello there [11:07] hi I am trying to install systemd on ubuntu 10.04 but it says libudev0 (>=154) , and in my system libudev0 is 151, Can anyone tell me how to upgrade it ? [11:07] is there anyone around who has experience with multi seat ubuntu 10.04 ? especially the video cards ...nvidia [11:08] Yup I try to collect these windows licences, just in case a friends needs one for an (old) new computer or something. [11:08] i wonder how much I can sell 2g of ddr1 for [11:08] or ... is there anyone around who has experience with multi seat ubuntu 10.10 ? especially the video cards ...nvidia [11:08] but it's really annoying to know a part of the laptop price goes to microsoft. [11:09] ileden, i had same issue as you, and ended up having to install like this...sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.32-2.6.35-23-generic [11:09] i dnt think it works that way\ [11:09] wow! 30 bucks a chip! [11:09] sell for 20 - 40 euro [11:09] hi I am trying to install systemd on ubuntu 10.04 but it says libudev0 (>=154) , and in my system libudev0 is 151, Can anyone tell me how to upgrade it ? [11:09] why does pressing ctrl+alt+F12 throw it into an empty purple screen [11:10] y r u preesing that key combo? [11:10] neverwhere: s... that package makes my 2.6.35-23 kernel use the wireless drivers from 2.6.32 anyway? [11:10] yop129: thats the framebuffer/consoles. and theres nothing running on it.. so ya just see blankness [11:10] codeanu , are you upgrading? [11:10] yop129: ive seen it set where log files and stuff can appear there [11:10] neverwhere: can I install that while using the previous kernel? [11:11] Dr_Willis: hmm and is ctrl+alt+F1 - F6 like screens or something? [11:11] codeanu , maybe its better to backup all your files and go for an clean install ( if you are upgrading ) [11:11] have anybody tested adobe native flash square for linux 64bit? [11:11] Dr_Willis: when i press ctrl + alt + f7 it puts me back into my desktop [11:12] what is the package name that will install the synaptic package manager? [11:12] yop129: yes... so? thats how it works. [11:12] f1-6 = consoles. f7 is the default for X. 8+ not normally used [11:12] thats the prob ileden, i dint know but it is worth typing that into the terminal, if you dont think it is corrct ou can always abort, but likely it will tell you i cannot perofrm the operation. you are infact stating that you ant to install an older module into a newer kernal [11:12] Dr_Willis: yeah idk, lol that's normal for you, but idk what it is [11:12] hi [11:13] is it possible to check upstream/downstream speed from ubuntu terminal ? [11:13] if yes what's the command ? [11:13] I have a file called start.sh how can I adjust it to run automatically on startup via terminal please? [11:13] neverwhere: I can, if needed, connect the laptop with ethernet wire to net to do the install using the latest kernel. is this a better idea? [11:14] aertyu, try ifconfig [11:14] hi [11:14] Syria , add to sessions ( dont forget to make executable ) [11:14] it is your only option ileden. you must be connected to the internet to install from repos [11:14] with ifconfig ? askhl_ [11:14] with ifconfig ? akshatj [11:14] are you sure ? [11:15] yellabs-r2 Can you tell me how to this step by step please, i have a web based application on my server and i want it to start automatically. [11:15] can you help me i want to convert a video to ffmpeg for my phone /thanks?!! [11:15] aertyu, no wait [11:15] neverwhere: not really, though... i could download the package and install it later, using som weird command line opiton, I think. but I'll just use the wire :) [11:15] :( [11:15] yellabs-r2, ya i want to upgrage ity [11:15] Hi, is there any possibility to use a kernel from Lucid in Maverick and retain all functionality of the system? [11:15] Syria , i will try, go to system / preferences / startup application [11:16] yellabs-r2, can u tell me how to do that ? [11:16] you must install the .deb package if you want to install for later use. regardless you must have some kind of internet connection to do that [11:16] yellabs-r2 I have in installed on my ubuntu server. [11:16] ggeorgy, WinFF is a handy GUI utility that uses ffmpeg [11:16] Syria , hmm, no desktop then? [11:16] i tryed it but not work [11:17] yellabs-r2 no desktop, only terminal [11:17] is it possible to check upstream/downstream speed from ubuntu terminal ? [11:17] not sure aertyu... [11:18] neverwhere: "E: Unable to locate package iinux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.32-2.6.35-23-generic" [11:18] Syria , okey, please take a look at this how - to http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubuntu/howto-run-script-on-boot-process-in-ubuntu/1171/ [11:18] neverwhere: em, right, there's a tyop [11:18] yellabs-r2 Thnx a lot. [11:18] neverwhere: however, "E: Unable to locate package linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.32-2.6.35-23-generic" [11:19] then how such website like " calculating bandwith speed calculator " works, they based on what ? [11:19] aertyu: they usually choose a server ner you, and send traffic with max speed to that server, and measure what that speed it [11:19] well it was worht a try, but it is not technically a backport doing it that way. a back port is to install a newer kernel module to an older kernel [11:19] ggeorgy . fast route : http://media-convert.com/omzetten/ === bryan is now known as bryan_ubu-nut [11:20] neverwhere: ok. any other ideas? [11:20] i had the same issue with atheros cars in my net book. had to wait till the 2.6.35 kernel to install the backport [11:20] codeanu_: did you try ppa? https://launchpad.net/~a7x/+archive/ppa [11:21] reinstall with older kernel, what version of ubuntu r u using??? [11:21] aertyu: uh, that was full of typos, sorry :) [11:21] voila, my question is that one " traffic with max speed " how to send to max speed traffic by command line ? Ileden [11:21] ggeorgy , or ffmpeg --help [11:21] hi guys [11:21] whats cd burner prefered for ubuntu ? [11:21] neverwhere: 10.10. but was using 10.04 before without problems. [11:21] or ndiswrapper [11:21] sacarlson, thanks .. I will try that [11:21] that's must be possible too [11:22] ggeorgy , or ffmpeg -i yourinput file thenyouroutputfilename.avi [11:22] !ffmpeg [11:22] id go with 10.04 and stick with it then. you can build what you need to lucid from mavarrick [11:22] aertyu: it's possible, but you need a server near you, that doesn't have any connection problems of it's own. [11:22] skraito: i like k3b. but its a KDE app :) but it works good under gnome [11:22] okey got to go, eat [11:22] :) [11:22] bye and good luck all [11:23] i already have that one Ileden [11:23] neverwhere: yikes, i should downgrade? I've heard horror stories of people doing that and screwing up the system... === raar is now known as Guest26130 [11:23] back up and do clean install. not actual downgrade [11:23] neverwhere: is it possible to just use the earlier kernel? will that cause me problems? [11:23] thx u [11:24] i dont know, i wondered that my self when i was having trouble with my wireless, as said before you could use ndiswrapper, but it suck s fat ass, unless it works for you [11:24] aertyu: think is, the traffic calculators sites have a network of solid servers, and they choose a one near you automatically. there could be a tool for that for commanline too, but i don't know of any [11:24] my netbook froze up all the time using ndiswrapper [11:24] yellabs-r2 Do you know how to write text in vim terminal please? [11:25] ok thanks a lot Ileden [11:25] neverwhere: ndiswrapper? [11:25] is ubuntu lightweight [11:25] what aireless card is this anyway ileden [11:25] wireles [11:25] WOW, adobe flash square works very fine in amd64 , get it at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html [11:25] can anyone tell me what is /etc/shadow about? [11:25] rix, light wieight enough :) [11:26] Hello! I cannot voicechat on Ubuntu since my voice is cut every second. [11:26] Rix_: lubuntu is lighter than ubuntu, there are much ligher destro lubuntu like DSL [11:26] Rix_: if you want really light-weight, then use lxde desktop [11:27] rix i am using lxde lubuntu atm [11:27] aertyu: no problem. a good choice of a stabile server is some ubuntu/linux mirror site, probably. Then use wget http://wherver.the.server.is/path/to/linux.iso to start downloading a big file from them, wget will then report the speed for you. [11:27] on a flash drve btw, that tells you how light it is [11:27] hah :p [11:27] aertyu: but with upload speed, it's more tricky, as there aren't many servers around that let you just upload stuff to them :) [11:27] i'll look at lubuntu [11:27] !lubuntu | Rix_ [11:27] Rix_: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [11:28] :o [11:28] thanks sir [11:28] lubuntu, is really just ubuntu with openbox window manager. you could always look for distros that use that. crunchbang is another [11:28] That is, after upgrade to 10.10 my WLAN fails with latest kernel 2.6.35-23-generic but works with 2.6.32-26-generic. Is there anything I can do to fix this? How do I for example force my system to use the older kernel by default? What are the problems this might cause? [11:29] neverwhere: thanks for the help [11:29] i am on #crunchbang [11:29] Should I install windows first or last to avoid trouble? :p [11:29] never [11:29] ;) [11:29] yeah I agree [11:29] what you call "linux mirror site " ? Ileden [11:29] our welcome, i guess first you would have to some how install older kernal, then force it to boot by default by editing a config file [11:30] stave ALWAYS windows first, if you are going to do that [11:31] neverwhere: I do have the older kernel still in the system, selectabe from the menu, and using it doesn't cause any trouble - at least not in plain sight. [11:31] lubuntu is a bit more then just openbox. :) im testing it out right now [11:32] neverwhere: where can I configure my system to use it by default, and what problems might this cause? [11:32] it wont cause any problems ubless you have apps that require a certain kernel version [11:32] aertyu: there are sites all around the world, and keep copies of linux istall CD-images, for example, so everyone doesn't have to stress e.g. ubuntu's servers to get them. These are called mirrors. [11:32] my laptop can only boot ubuntu in failsafex mode (i can boot debian properly though). will i be able to boot into lubuntu properly? [11:33] rigved: depends on why its only going into failsafe mode. [11:33] rigved: the kernel and X versions and configs are the same for both [11:34] neverwhere: hmm, it's worth a try to just keep on using the earlier kernel then. how do I configure the system (grub)? and will it revert back to latest when there's a kernel update? [11:34] Dr_Willis: how do i find out what's causing the problem? [11:34] lubuntu looks slick [11:34] sleek [11:34] ?? [11:34] anyoen there === Belial is now known as Guest33941 [11:35] !ask | Guest33941 [11:35] Guest33941: 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. :-) [11:35] if i were you ileden, i would not do anymore kernel uodates, i would have to take some time googling it, but i know it is possible to use older kernel, and keep it that way [11:37] :0 [11:37] :) [11:37] neverwhere: yeah, I'll do that. and I can try upgrading the kernel to an even later vresion some day, to see if the problem has gone away. :) But how do I configure grub to use the previous kernel as a default? [11:37] hello, guys [11:37] can anyone help me about AppIndicator in c language? [11:38] the problem is that I can't find examples [11:38] Ileden: Thing is, if you have already done updates with the newest kernel in use, then go back to the older kernel, then things would probably start going haywire. [11:39] Ileden: Knowing that, you could go to option #7 on this page - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [11:39] FishFace: oh. That's what I was afraid of... [11:39] rigved: no idea really. check the forums perhaps. im not clear on the original problem [11:39] nobody? [11:40] Ileden: I know you probably are exhausted fixing the drivers, but you might want to hang on a bit longer and see if you can fix it :) [11:41] Dr_Willis: ok. i have searched but not found anything. is it possible to make my laptop boot into failsafex mode automatically? i know that it requires modifying the xorg.conf file, but i don't know what to modify it to. [11:42] Dr_Willis: i mean how do i set it to use the vesa drivers by default? [11:43] Dr_Willis: never mind. found it on the forums. thanx [11:43] FishFace: yeah, well, this last week my work computer's display adapter broke down, and i had to reinstall ubunut to get the new one to work, also my netbook's display broke, and now this with my home laptop... yes, pretty exchauseted :D but I want things to work, so... [11:44] 你们好 [11:44] FishFace: so how can I proceed with trying to fix the driver? [11:44] i also own myself a server i can't mirror linux install cd iso ? Ileden [11:45] can i mirror linux cd iso ? [11:45] When i boot my system, the order of the HDDs always change. Sometimes my bootdevice is sda, sometimes it's sdb. Now the main problem, one of the devices is truecrypted. But how can i mount the truecrypt hdd with a script if the device order always change... any ideas? udev should not work in this case... :( [11:45] if yes what's my profit ? Ileden [11:45] aertyu: what do you mean by profit? [11:46] aertyu: no profit. well small ad probably displayed for people who download via yuor site, but mostly I think people/companies do it for the sake of goodwill. [11:46] sam-_- [11:47] Ileden: Wlan drivers right? Unless it is a very new laptop you should be able to dig up something. Unless you have a WUSB54GC card, I cant help [11:47] no, of course i m not talking about money, to makes everything clear, what will bring to me ? Ileden [11:47] FishFace: yes, it's WLAN, and pretty old laptop, wireless is via PCMCIA (or PC-card wherver they are called these days) slot. [11:48] FishFace: the wlan card is newer than the laptop. [11:48] ok [11:49] Ileden: Wow! :) [11:49] FishFace: in fact, it's a wlan card I bought for this computer just because I migrated from windows to ubuntu and the previous wlan card didn't work with ubuntu... :) [11:49] Is there any site that list hardware/computers that are (or are not) compatible with linux/ubuntu? [11:50] FishFace: computer is IBM ThinkPad T30, Wlan card is DLink AirPlus G DWL-G630. [11:50] I have to be honest with you, I've found ubuntu supports more hardware out of the box than any other operating system i've ever tried [11:50] hi, m working on ubuntu 10.4 and I want to update my libudev0 from 151 to >154, how can i do that ? [11:51] Stava: there are some list in the ubuntu wiki. [11:51] hey guys i need a mini crash course what does the phrase "Hardware clock set to UTC?" mean? [11:51] you might have to tweak wireless a little bit to get it working but other than that, its been pretty nice [11:51] I have just installed webmin and i am being asked for a user name and a password but i did not create any of them! how can i do that please? [11:52] Ileden: You know, I used to run almost that same exact setup. But no more. I really don't know what is going to work with that setup. [11:52] teluge: there is local time and utc time (universal time) [11:52] hi m new user. What are file system in linux? [11:53] problem with ubuntu is it's so user friendly it doesnt really teach you whats going on... so when you break it....the only guys that can help are people who already know about linux... i.e. this chat [11:53] Exti [11:53] thanx sacarlson [11:53] Ext4 [11:53] google can fix anything [11:53] ask the right questions [11:53] amit: linux supports many file systems the defaults may be ext3 or ext4 [11:53] ext4 is default i believe [11:53] hi, m working on ubuntu 10.4 and I want to update my libudev0 from 151 to >154, how can i do that ? [11:53] FishFace: well, ubuntu 10.04 did work very well. :( [11:54] FishFace: i guess I could buy at least 1.5 years more life by downgrading, then. *sigh* [11:54] codeanu_: didn't the ppa work? [11:54] teluge: UTC is what was previously called GMT... [11:55] no [11:55] Ileden: I think that is the way you need to go. [11:55] teluge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time [11:55] bonjoyee1: sort of. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Timeh [11:55] :) [11:55] it also has 151 as latest [11:56] codeanu_: why didn't they work? if they don't have it then you may need to compile your own and maybe create your own ppa [11:56] teluge: so if your hardware clock (bios) is set to UTC...the OS can automatically set your local time..u choose at install time [11:56] codeanu_: I saw versions as big as 161 in ppa [11:56] sacarlson: can u send me the link of 161 ? [11:56] Ileden: That Thinkpad doesn't have USB does it? [11:57] bonjoyee1, teluge : UTC is not exactly the same as GMT, but there's only theoretical differences. [11:57] Hello guys, I need some help with nvidia-96 driver install [11:57] FishFace: yes it does. USB 1.0 :D [11:57] sacarlson:sir plz tell me some more names of file system [11:57] Ileden: yes..to the end user...the effect is the same! [11:57] Got the driver installed, now in Additional Drivers it says that the driver is activated but not currently in use, how do i fix tihs? [11:57] bonjoyee1: true. [11:58] and also, xorg.conf is missing on my system [11:58] 10.04 didn't detect my wireless on the livecd , I havent tried 10.10 yet [11:58] Eduard: new ubuntu systems don't need xorg.conf. [11:59] Eduard, its not missing, they don't use it unless you don't use it specifically for something [11:59] everything usually autodetects properly [11:59] what is samba? [11:59] Oh, ok. Then how do i make the driver not only activated but also used? [11:59] Ileden: Well, you could get a cheap adapter on Ebay or somewhere. 10 bucks? WG111v2 or something. [12:00] Because now, god knows, what driver my system is running... [12:00] FishFace: yea, that's probably what i'll try to do. less trouble than messing with downgrading. [12:00] Ileden: I'm off to work. Good luck on that :) [12:00] if you play with it enough, you can usually get your wireless working one way or another, especially if you have the windows driver for it [12:00] FishFace: thanks for the help! [12:00] Any ideas? [12:00] what is samba and how to use it [12:00] ndiswrapper and all [12:01] !samba | amit [12:01] amit: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [12:01] Eduard: in fact not god, but rather /var/log/Xorg.0.log probably knows. :) [12:01] how to communicate with ubottu? [12:02] Eduard: you can still use xorg.conf - it overrides the automatic system. [12:03] codeanu_: even debian has 16X you must not be looking very hard http://packages.debian.org/sid/libudev0 [12:03] Ileden: I'm stupid or my system is crazy.........

[12:06] Hello! [12:06] Audacity [12:07] sagaci: thanks. but audacity takes too long to combine and builds up very big temp files! [12:07] Ileden: I'll probably give a shot to one crazy thing, I'll try running nvidia-xconfig [12:07] sacarlson: ya done thans a lot .. [12:08] ksbalaji: if command line works for you, "sox" is a good program. [12:08] hi [12:09] heden thanks. I ve not tried sox. I shall try. [12:09] Hello guys. I'm remastering the Ubuntu Live CD. Can someone tell me how to make the CD boot into the live environment by default? Currently it boots into an environment where I can click two buttons: Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu. If I want it to start the Live environment instead, I have to press a key on the keyboard while booting, which brings me to a boot menu, from where I can select the Live environment. But it would be great if I could just l [12:09] CD boot into the LIve Environment without involving the user [12:09] ksbalaji: although... i just remembered, good luck trying to get mp3 _encoding_ support active for it. :( (And blame the idiotic patents, not the program, please) [12:10] heden does not lame take care of encoding? [12:10] Jemt: i think theres some grub/syslinux kernel option that skips that. but i never looked into it much [12:11] ksbalaji: could be it can use lame for it. I had problems trying to get it to encode mp3. [12:11] Hi, my usb hub and usb drives seem to be in usb1.1 mode and are extremely slow. Is there a way to force linux to use usb2.0 drivers for those hubs/drives? [12:11] hello all [12:11] hi guys, i have a problem with my sound card, intel ich5, the sound doesnt play [12:11] Dr_Willis: That's what I thought too. I should be able to set the default boot parameters in isolinux/txt.cfg, but that does not seem to be sufficient [12:12] Guys, wish me good luck, i've ran nvidia-xconfig and blacklisted nouveau [12:12] somebody help me? [12:12] hi guys, i have a problem with my sound card, intel ich5, the sound doesnt play [12:12] another prob: I damaged my son's laptop Lucid while fixing his dual win7 MBR. Any advise to restore his grub? [12:12] Now, the epic guestion is, will I boot or go to tty1 [12:12] Jemt: the syslinx config for ubuntu is so complex. i can barely follow how it works. :) [12:12] ksbalaji: I did manage to do it though, i think. or maybe i ended up using something else, can't remebmer anymore. [12:12] Dr_Willis: :-S :-) Well, the configuration files make sense. If only they worked :) [12:13] ksbalaji, I tend to boot a rescue cd of some sort, and install grub from it. like "system rescuecd" [12:13] ubuntu 10.10 have issues with intel sound card? [12:13] Ileden: I shall try sox . Thanks. [12:13] Jemt: I guess grep for what you see in the screens at boot to try to locate what scripts are used at boot [12:13] thiago_: not that ive heard of.. i imagine there are more then 1 intel sound chipsets out. [12:14] ksbalaji: you're welcome, and good luck :) [12:14] sacarlson: It's all graphical :) [12:14] Dr_Willis, yes, and my model have a Ac97 chipset [12:14] 请大虾 [12:14] Dr_Willis: yes, and my model have a Ac97 chipset [12:14] thiago_: tahts rather standard. should work fine. [12:14] ksbalaji, you can use the ubuntu-cd too, and use a terminal in the live desktop [12:14] cnghost: what is that? [12:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB [12:15] Jemt: what version are you playing with? [12:15] Dr_Willis: yes, i can configure throgh sound-preferenches, but i can't hear anything [12:15] Bondv6: I ve ubuntu livecd How to do rescue please? [12:16] sacarlson: Ubuntu 10.10 [12:16] Dr_Willis: on ubutu 10.04 this problem doesnt exist [12:16] Jemt: ok I'll take a quick look [12:16] ksbalaji, did you see the link I posted? Look under the "GUI" or "Command line" secution there [12:16] Bondv6: I am grateful to get command help for restoring lucid [12:16] ksbalaji, I'd use the "command line" version there [12:16] Bondv6: oh I shall check url. [12:16] ksbalaji, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB [12:16] sacarlson: Thank you, I appreciate it. Please take a look at CD/isolinux/txt.cfg - notice the 'default' option which seems to do nothing [12:17] Dr_Willis, i'll make a downgrade, what you think? [12:17] Jemt: I just noted that I don't have the iso for 10.10 desktop only xbuntu 10.10 it would take me some time before I could even try [12:17] Hello back guys, My Plan failed :( [12:17] Bondv6: But, I do not want to reinstall lucid! Is there a way to repair? [12:18] sacarlson: I see. But I would suspect the setup to be quite similar [12:18] I'm getting "Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/extra/modules/nvidia-drv.so" [12:18] thiago_: doubtfull.. if you upgraded.. i would try a clean new insatll instead [12:18] "Failed to load module nvidia(loader failed, 7)" [12:18] how to fix this? [12:18] Jemt: I'm not sure [12:18] ksbalaji, yeah. Assuming it's just the mbr that is the issue, you can fix that by installing "grub [12:19] Jemt: I guess it's not gnome it's something else [12:19] Dr_Willis, ok, i'll try [12:19] guys, any ideas? I desperately need help, I' [12:19] sacarlson: True, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with isolinux. [12:20] sacarlson: Will uploading the isolinux folder help you ? [12:20] Eduard: whats the video chipset anyway? [12:20] Dr_Willis : geforce mx 400, nvidia 96 driver is installed [12:21] Eduard: mx400 - Hmm. that old a chipset. it could be the 96 version is to 'new' for it. and dosent support it. [12:21] Jemt: I'm not sure what you mean, you give me the isolinux folder you have? === toxic is now known as Guest63849 [12:21] theres some listing at the !nvidia wiki page as to what drivers are for what chipsets [12:21] Old card [12:21] Jemt: I'll just get the ubuntu 10.10 disk, it's something I should already have [12:22] Dr_Willis: nvidia-96 all the way, on 10.04 it worked fine, and a while ago nvidia released update to 96 driver so that it could support 10.10 [12:22] sacarlson: Yes. It's simply the original folder from the Ubuntu 10.10 ISO. In case that can help you figure out what's going on... and by that helping me :) [12:22] sacarlson: Okay, super [12:22] sacarlson: I'll keep investigating. I'll let you know if I figure it out [12:22] Dr_Willis: the only problem is, how do i make it load in 10.10, considering that Additional driver reports that nvidia-96 is installed, activated, but not in use [12:23] Jemt: I assume it's a 32bit, that's what I plan to get [12:23] sacarlson: Yes, 32 Bit [12:23] hi [12:24] I would like to connect two computers without using a router [12:24] exit [12:24] amit: err forward slash? [12:24] rom1v: You use a switch for that [12:24] ksbalaji, you need to first mount your partitions on the old system. Have you done this? [12:24] but in /etc/network/interfaces, if I don't set a "gateway", everything I do give a "network unreachable" [12:24] I would like to do it without any switch [12:24] rom1v: what kind of network cards. and you may want to isntall a dhcpd server on one of them [12:25] rom1v: How are they physically connected ? [12:25] ethernet [12:25] Bondv6: That was a nice guide. But Lucid has grub2 (grub-pc)and would that mean command-line something else? [12:25] rom1v, if the two computers are one the same network, they don't need a router between [12:25] ok, so I will explain my problem : [12:25] rom1v: 100speed = you will need a crossover cable.. gb networking - should auto-crossover. [12:25] ksbalaji, yeah, I was about to say - you'll have to use "grub-install" tool === heikki_ is now known as heikkiket [12:25] ksbalaji, do you have a seperate boot-partition, or is it under the root parition (/) ? [12:26] Oh yes, cross over is important :) [12:26] I flashed my switch with a bad firmware, I would like to "flash it again", but I can't access it [12:26] ksbalaji, default it is under the root partition [12:26] i'm running 10.10 and set my resolution to something that's not supported. so i don't have a gui. how to i reset the resolution? [12:26] so I connected my laptop to my router, to flash using tftp [12:26] on my laptop, I configured a static ip, with the router-ip as gateway : it seems to work [12:26] Bondv6: I've a / partition a separate swap and a separate home not boot partition [12:26] Bondv6: the boot is in / partition [12:27] but as soon as I tftp-put a file on the router, it "disconnect" (because the router is the gateway) [12:27] so I don't know how I can flash my router again [12:27] ksbalaji, first you want to mount your old / parition on the livecd. Mount it on say /mnt or so [12:28] I am on the job. just restarted laptop to be sure with live cd. [12:28] rom1v, if the laptop and router both have an IP in the same network, they won't need to use a default router, because they are "directly connected" [12:28] Bondv6: can I use gparted to mount / partitions? [12:28] but I need a crossed cable? [12:28] (wire) [12:29] rom1v: for gb network cards no.. for tbase 100 - yes. [12:29] ksbalaji, easiest is to use the "mount" tool, maybe the paritions show up on the desktop? [12:29] rom1v, if they both have gigabit interfaces, it should be fine without crossed cable [12:29] it used to show up on places. under that partition name - ubuntu [12:29] how to fix this: [12:29] E: Unable to locate package nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf [12:29] E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf' [12:30] Hey. The screen turns black when we some times change user in ubuntu 10.04 [12:30] i am trying to uninstall all nvidia related stuff [12:30] I read something about updating uspalsh.conf with the correct resolution [12:31] is there an option on the gconf editor or something to disable image borders on nautilus thumbnails? [12:31] Bondv6: I could just click it and it is mounted. on media - it also shows up on desktop [12:31] ksbalaji, if you write "mount" in a terminal, you should see which device it is, and where it is mounted [12:32] ksbalaji, or "df -h" is perhaps better, so you can check the size of it. [12:32] ksbalaji, which device is it? [12:32] ksbalaji, should be called /dev/sd* or /dev/hd* something [12:33] http://pastebin.com/qeEstHZd <-- grub.cfg - why doesn't color or play work? pretty certain that's the paste [12:33] hi [12:33] anyone knows ogv files converters ? [12:33] how can i change a resolution from boot to 1252x864 [12:33] ??????????? [12:33] milen8204, ffmpeg should work [12:33] hi all [12:34] Transmageddon [12:34] Bondv6: /dev/sda5 and /media/ubuntu [12:34] ok i will try thanks [12:34] does anybody know how to set Totem to use gl drivers? [12:34] coz_, [12:35] milen8204, it should be as simple as ffmpeg -i name.ogv to name.avi [12:35] does anyone remember the old tool ubuntu used to have called reconstructor? [12:35] Bondv6: size is 20gb [12:35] Hi, does anybody knows where is the pidgin error log file located at in ubuntu? I'm trying to see the output of an action [12:35] teluge, https://projects.lumentica.com/projects/reconstructor/wiki [12:36] I have a dumb question. I bought a 2 tb HDD and formatted it using the disk utility. I formatted it to Fat32 because I store my videos on it that I play through my xbox 360. I transfered all my videos over from a failing drive after the format and here's my problem. In my haste I never partitioned the drive. I can see the drive on the xbox 360, but I can't see it on a windows computer. Is there anything I can do at this point? [12:36] Bondv6: do I cd to install grub? [12:36] teluge: theres the reconstructor web siet that lets you remaster ubuntu. but its no longer free last i checked [12:36] ksbalaji, then you should be able to reinstall grub as: grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda5 [12:36] coz_, i am new but will try :D [12:36] coz_, should I type to ? [12:36] in terminal ? [12:37] AceKing: check the 'sudo fdisk -l' output of the drive. If its just 'sda' and not 'sda1' you should still be able to mount /dev/sda [12:37] ah k thanks DR_Willis [12:37] milen8204, well that command should work ffmpeg -i name.ogv name.avi the "name" is the name of the video you have and this should be done in the terminal === toto is now known as Guest20829 [12:37] milen8204, first open a terminal cd to the location of the video.ogv you have [12:37] sudo grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda5 perhaps? and after chrooting? [12:37] AceKing: gparted might be able to resize and redo the partitions [12:37] milen8204, then run that command replacing "name" with the name of the video you have [12:37] coz_, thnaks i understand will try [12:38] Dr_Willis, Thank you.. If I do anything will I lose the data on the drive? [12:38] AceKing: just mounting it under linux wont lose anything.. andy resize operation has risks [12:39] i thing its work [12:39] Dr_Willis, Thank you, I appreciate the info [12:39] coz_ thanks a lot () [12:39] milen8204, hope that worked [12:39] Bondv6: (shudder) would that damage existing win7? [12:39] ksbalaji, you shouldn't need to chroot. Yeah, you will need to be a root user (or use sudo) [12:40] coz_, will see thanks [12:40] ok - one final info before I hit enter - will win7 survive? [12:40] ksbalaji, no, it won't damage win7 but you might have to create a boot entry for it [12:41] http://pastebin.com/qeEstHZd <-- grub.cfg - why doesn't color or play work? pretty certain that's the paste [12:41] ksbalaji, wait [12:41] Bondv6: thanks - I got the answer from you. But I have to add - win7 need not survive in the longrun. Only on this computer for some time! [12:41] ksbalaji, this will be correct: grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda [12:42] Bondv6: with sudo? [12:42] ksbalaji, yeah [12:44] Bondv6: can that also be hda or sda0 instead of just sda? (sorry for asking again) [12:44] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint /dev/sda --recheck [12:45] Dr_Willis: Hi! thanks for your attention ! what does --recheck do please? [12:45] ksbalaji, it has to be the hardisk-device that the computer boots from. /dev/hda could be such a device, while /dev/sda1 wold be a partition [12:46] anyone here with experience editing or patching kernels? [12:46] Q: I'm trying to use policykit to allow non-privileged users to install using software-center. I've followed the instructions in the first answer at http://askubuntu.com/questions/3/how-can-i-set-the-software-center-to-install-software-for-non-root-users but it doesn't work (even after restarting). Anyone know what's wrong? [12:46] Bondv6: yes sda1 is the win7 partition. hda is my hdd. [12:46] ksbalaji, if sda1 is the win7 partition, then /dev/sda is your drive [12:47] I'm trying to set up some website on an Ubuntu server but am having some problems with accessing it. When I hit my ip, I get the Apache "It works" page. When I modify the thing in /var/ww/, nothing changes to the page I get. [12:47] I did not set up this server, so don't know what's going on exactly. I guess some rerouting or something, but am not sure how to find to where (I'm rather new to Linux). Any help? [12:47] jus delete the win7 partition.... win7 is too fru fru anyways ^^ [12:48] JeroenDeDauw, You'll have to look in the www configuration for the default site, to see what's going on. usually that would be /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [12:48] Bondv6: thanks. teluge just did that once. That is where the problem started of reinstalling this and that and this...! [12:50] ksbalaji, /dev/hd* is usually things connected with ATA, while /dev/sd* is usually serial-attached drives, like scsi, s-ata and sas [12:50] hi all, I am using ubuntu 10.04, grub is grub 2 but why I type in command "grub --version" in terminal,it shows that the version is 0.97,what is the problem here ? [12:50] I went to the Pidgin support page and found this, thanks though "if Pidgin isn't crashing, you can use the Debug Window (Help->Debug Window) to obtain the debug log output." [12:50] Bondv6: do I have to add --recheck as Dr_Willis suggested? = sudo grub-install --root-directory /media/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda --recheck ? [12:51] van7hu, grub2 uses such versions. it's a bit confusing [12:52] ksbalaji, you can, it should give you a warning if it didn't install though [12:52] van7hu: did you do an in-place upgrade? [12:52] bondv6 : no, with "update-grub" command it printouts "do you want to create menu.lst" ? [12:52] van7hu: You are on an old system? whate version? menu.lst is for grub1 [12:52] van7hu: may be it is grub version and not ubuntu lucid version? [12:52] How do I get pidgin to show up in the indicator applet and not quit the entire app when i press the close button, but instead just hide the window? [12:52] yeah, 10.04 [12:52] van7hu, ah sorry, yeah, that is grub legacy [12:52] (maverick) [12:53] van7hu: was this a clean install or a upgrade? [12:53] * van7hu go for st,please wait thank ! [12:53] van7hu: if your computer is booting correctly, I would leave well enough alone unless you have a particular need for GRUB2 [12:54] yeah, i have opensuse and ubuntu on my pc [12:54] Bondv6: Cool. I'm not seeing anything very enlightening there though. This is what's there: http://dpaste.org/dPMf/ [12:54] I install opensuse 1stly and ubuntu 2ndly [12:54] Hi all, I'm trying to edit policykit to allow non-privileged users to install using software-center. I've created a file in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/ but it still asks for admin user's password. Anyone know what's wrong? [12:55] JeroenDeDauw, which document are you editing? [12:55] now, I've installed xen and I want to ask it for grub of ubuntu [12:55] van7hu: just be happy with grub - you would have seen my plight with grub2 here now. [12:56] Bondv6: /var/www/index.html [12:56] van7hu: for a complex setup. you masy need some tweaking to your menu.lst then. [12:56] JeroenDeDauw, could there be another document in that folder, that is taking presence over index.html ? [12:56] nvm figured it out === ksbalaji is now known as balaji-away [12:58] Bondv6: It's the only file there (which is index.html). Also, when I try to hit a directory with site in it that I put in /var/ww/, I get a not found error. [12:59] anyone who has use new version of VLC player ? [13:00] I have [13:00] milen8204, which version do you have? [13:00] 1.1.4 [13:00] Im on 1.1.5 on osx [13:01] works great [13:01] i have 1.1.4 [13:01] DrManhattan, have you try to convert files ? [13:01] milen8204, I am using 1.1.5 also [13:01] no I don't use cpu based transcoding [13:01] coz_, how to update to 1.1.5 ? [13:01] Guys, has anybody experience this stupid bug, when you set the screen resulution to 1024x768 in nvidia-settings and save the new xorg.conf and afterwards restart, you end up with a extremely small resolution like 400x400 or smth [13:02] and yet, nvidia-settings shows that resolution is 1024x768 [13:02] Hello! Someone take a look at http://pastebin.com/kt3pyvvS - running Transmission causes horrendous lag, same for amule. Why? [13:02] i think in 1.1.4 can`t convert a ting [13:02] milen8204, let me check for the ppa hold on === balaji-away is now known as ksbalaji [13:02] milen8204, do you have all of the extra codecs installed? [13:03] coz_, i think so [13:03] guys ,any ideas on how to fix this [13:03] ? [13:03] coz_, c-korn is moved to ppa:n-muench/vlc2 for vlc 1.1.5 [13:03] i clicked more than 10 times :D in symantic :D [13:04] hello everyone [13:04] OerH, ok maybe you can guide him to that ppa [13:05] milen8204, open system/administration/synaptic packages manager.... hit the Search button and type in ubuntu restricted to see if you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed [13:05] Bondv6: No idea whats wrong? [13:05] Wops. Did I miss a reply? [13:06] Hi! [13:06] http://pastebin.com/kt3pyvvS - transmission/amule=lag [13:06] i have it [13:06] This is my first time to here! [13:06] coz_, i have it [13:06] Bondv6: :( something went wrong. maybe the system directory? http://pastebin.com/L0STvf9C [13:07] milen8204, ok [13:07] i have addons too [13:07] coz_, milen8204 i found the ppa https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/vlc2 just add the ppa in softwaresources & upgrade [13:08] Quit [13:10] OerH, thanks [13:10] en [13:10] what is that? [13:13] JeroenDeDauw, /var/ww/ or /var/www ? [13:13] I can not install the NVIDIA graphics driver [13:13] Dr_Willis: --recheck has given some output but I do not know how to change the command. http://pastebin.com/L0STvf9C [13:13] Bondv6: /www/ [13:14] ksbalaji, hmm, I think you have to write --root-directory=/media/ubuntu/boot [13:15] i would like to compile a GTK project, but i have a problem including the right libraries. >>g++ -o ./Debug/gladetest ./Debug/main.o "-L." "-L." "-L/usr/lib/" -lgtkmm-2.4<< returns >>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtkmm-2.4<<. But i am shure libgtkmm-2.4 is there, i can $locate it using search function. Any idea what is wrong? [13:15] plop all :) [13:15] Hello ppl [13:15] JeroenDeDauw, not sure. could be several things. But if you are getting "it works", then that is usually some document in /var/lib/www [13:15] Bondv6: sudo --root-directory=/media/ubuntu/boot --recheck? (what then about sda?) [13:16] can someone with alot of experience in other distros message me? [13:16] ksbalaji, you need the whole command you typed earlier, but use "=" between root-directory and argument, instead of space [13:16] Could anyone please help fixing this ridiculously high resolution problem after each system boot-up, here is a example of it: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/5461/screenshotuje.png [13:16] rizo: you need the -dev packages to compile stuff [13:17] rizo, make sure you have a file called libgtkmm-2.4.a (or .so) [13:17] rizo, you probably need something called libgtkmm-2.4-dev or similar [13:17] tcpa252, system-> preferences-> monitor should let you set it [13:18] Bondv6: There is no "www" dir in /var/lib/. I'm just going to poke the person who set the thing up - thanks for your help though :) [13:18] Bondv6: i'm running proprietary nvidia drivers, so in my case i guess it is nvidia-settings [13:18] and also, that would mean changing resolution after each boot-up [13:18] cousteau, it is callled /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 [13:18] what is best PDF viewer [13:19] here is my xorg.conf : http://pastebin.ca/2023487 [13:19] JeroenDeDauw, sorry, I ment to say /var/www [13:19] home-alone, I think Okular, it seems to be very complete... although I use Evince and it's very nice [13:19] hello can anyone help me with my Ubunto installation? [13:19] tsimpson, i have libgtk2.0-dev installed [13:19] tcpa252, I thought that tool could write an updated xorg-config [13:20] rizo: but not libgtkmm-2.4-dev [13:20] home-alone, you could also use the official Acrobat's one... but afaik it's hard to install since it's not on the repositories [13:20] nickrave, what happen? [13:20] ksbalaji, did it work? [13:20] I have a problem after I've burned the CD, it just wont boot up into the installation page, I get a man in a circle logo [13:20] at the bottom [13:20] then nothing [13:20] :o [13:20] man? [13:21] Bondv6 yes, it does, you see the problem, after each restart my screen resolution is way off, no matter what resolution is set through nvidia-settings [13:21] thank I will okular a try . I strictly use FOSS [13:21] tsimpson, you are right :) will try that, thank you! [13:21] yeah a little man [13:21] nickrave, are you sure its ubuntu [13:21] nickrave: hit any key when the man appears - it should put you into the menu [13:21] http://pastebin.com/qeEstHZd <-- grub.cfg - why doesn't color or play work? pretty certain that's the paste [13:21] yeah I tired that [13:21] Bondv6: so that means, if i don't find the cause of the problem, I'll be stuck changing my resolution after each system restart [13:22] * AbhiJit cant remember any 'man' in installation process [13:22] nickrave: sounds like a bad burn or a CD drive problem [13:22] I managed to install OS X, so can't be a drive problem [13:22] tcpa252, did you use the "save to X configuration file" ? [13:22] AbhiJit: see the bottom of this image: http://mitchtowner.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/shot0001.png [13:23] nickrave, when this "man in a circle" logo appears did you hit enter? [13:23] NO I'll try that now - thanks [13:23] aaaah [13:23] that man [13:23] AbhiJit: when there are resolution problems that's sometimes all you see [13:23] its accessibility icon [13:23] heh [13:23] :) [13:24] Bondv6: yes I did this a lot of times, with no apparent luck, each time after restart my screen resolution is way off, and yet nvidia-settings shows that current resolution is the one i set before restart [13:24] ahhh!!! [13:24] tsimpson, thank you, that solved the problem :) [13:24] OK yeah that's all it was! [13:24] tcpa252, hmm, you could try to look in the Xorg.conf file after it's saved, to make sure the resolution is set in it? [13:24] Stupid really thanks a lot, it's gone into the install page [13:24] suggest the best twitter client ever! [13:24] Bondv6: http://pastebin.ca/2023487 [13:25] it's my current xorg.conf, as far as i can see, theres no setting for current screen resolution.... [13:25] nickrave, not stupid...it is a new approach... and if you have not seen it before then ,,hey ... now you know :) [13:25] tcpa252, and what mode do you want to use=? [13:25] Bondv6 1024x768 [13:26] I'm a gamer,formerly windows till i upgraded ram and mobo to 64 bit.... cant stand win 7 novice at best to linux usin ubuntu 10.10 hate it i like minimalistic highly customizable os's i loved windows xp.?Any suggestions? I'm on the fence as far as arch goes. === ksbalaji is now known as balaji-away [13:27] tcpa252, you could put that mode in "the front" of the others [13:27] Bondv6: sec, i'll try it === balaji-away is now known as ksbalaji [13:28] teluge: try LXDE/Lubuntu [13:28] !lubuntu | teluge [13:28] teluge: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [13:29] teluge: perhaps state what you want to 'do' with your system. thats the big thing. [13:29] Bondv6: , Dr_Willis it worked but I get grub prompt instead of login do I proceed with sudo grub-update there? [13:29] 'minimalisitic highly customizeable' - a bit of a contridiction :) [13:29] ksbalaji: the grub prompt is for grub commands not linux commands. [13:30] try awesomeWM :) [13:30] * yeats never thought of WinXP as "minimalistic" either [13:30] that is highly customizable via Lua :) [13:30] ksbalaji: if grub is loading. then it perhaps need to be configured to find the right menu files. [13:30] Customize it so its no longer minimal. :) [13:31] ksbalaji, okay, good, as Dr_Willis says grub is now working again. I'm surprised it is not finding your menu-files now [13:31] Bondv6: Thank you very much, you saved my day [13:32] Bondv6: Dr_Willis thanks for consolation. How to configure grub2? [13:32] tcpa252, cool [13:32] no you dont get it willis... i like it minimal an 10.10 is anything but [13:32] ksbalaji, boot up the livecd again [13:32] There is something about updating grub. ? [13:32] and i'd really like to get the most out of my ram and graphics card as far as windows gaming/linux gaming goes [13:32] without all the fru fru... [13:33] Bondv6: ok. rebooting [13:33] !grub2 | ksbalaji [13:33] ksbalaji: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [13:34] ksbalaji, maybe we gave it the wrong path to root-directory [13:34] teluge: whats the point in minimal if you are lacking wanted features.. 'minimal' is just the latest buzzword everyone likes to spout. It seems to mean very little these days. (yes thats a pun) [13:35] anyone know how to get 32bit applications to run on a 64 bit powerpc ? === ksbalaji is now known as balaji-away === balaji-away is now known as ksbalaji [13:35] teluge: if you want best windows gaming - run stuff in windows.. linux gaming . the gnome desktop is going to take up so few resources on most mondern gaming rigs. that it wont matter muich as to what window manager/desktop you use [13:35] cute ...hmmm better explanation is minimal desktop compare windows xp to windows 7 and i love the windows xp version best [13:36] if you want to use 'minimal' system resources - use lubuntu. [13:36] run stuff in windows go with win 7 so i can utilize my ram or forgo my ram and go with xp? i think not i can get everything working in linux i jus want it running better im greedy [13:37] but even with a full gnome desktopp here - and all this syecandy.. just sitting here ircing. im using less then 4% of my cpu.

[13:38] ksbalaji, yeah you could make sure it has the boot flag [13:38] hi there... is it currently possible to install ubuntu maverick to a multidevice BTRFS partition? [13:38] Bondv6: :) my examples did point to the location of where the boot directory was at. not the full path including boot. so i think you are right [13:39] Dr_Willis, hehe, done this so many times, but still end up getting it wrong. It's easy to think you remember it better than you actually do :/ [13:39] I was trying to create a bootable usb stick using dd_rescue but I messed up and now fdisk is showing only sdb and not sdb1 . can anybody please help me in bringing sdb1 back? [13:39] Dr_Willis, you wrote that page? nice work [13:39] all the eyecandy is jus so ugly to me i like the rudimentary feel [13:39] shankhs, if no one can help here at this moment you could scoot over to the ##linux channel ..

I just use the terminal. [15:22] maxflax: or theres ways to set it where ntfs/vfat/cdroms mount with EVERY file executable. so by default they are in fact executable.

[15:27] everton: ive seen it happen if you select a folder with dvd 'files' and tell it to open with.. a video player or otehr app. [15:28] maxflax: i use the /etc/fstab for my internal drives - but not sure how to do it for removeable media [15:28] afternoon all [15:28] I find having everything on ntfs/vfat executable - more annoying then using 'wine /whatever.exe' in a terminal when needed. [15:28] Dr_willis I understand you I trying to find the area where i c an fix it [15:29] Dr_Willis - it is a internal drive formatted with NTFS [15:29] everton: try ubuntu-tweak, and check teh file assocations. theres one for folder types, let me see what mine is set to. [15:29] maxflax: then you can make a fstab entry for the drive. and set the proper umask/fmask/dmask and it can set them to be all executable. [15:29] maxflax: the ntfs-3g faq/docs gives examples. [15:30] Dr_Willis - Well, if I put it in fstab it will auto mount.. I only mount it if I need it..

[15:31] everton: under ubuntu-tweak, file type 'tool' under 'folder' -> theres a list of what ones to use. I think 'open folder' is the default its supposed to be.

[15:34] ejcweb: its also perhaps possible with the various pulse audio config tools. (some are not installed by default) [15:34] rigved: Yeah, unfortunately I don't own one of those cables at the moment. I'm trying to find a different solution. [15:34] maxflax: no idea. I would have to look it up on the ntfs-3g docs/faq [15:34] I always get confused by umasks. [15:34] #ubuntu-es [15:35] maxflax: try 0000, mount it .. look and see.. unmount. try a differnet # [15:35] Hello [15:35] Dr_Willis: I mean, the alternative is to select a different input source. I've got a choice of OSS, Port Audio, or PulseAudio. At the moment I'm on Port Audio default, which is my mic. [15:35] the umask is like '777-XXX' where XXX is the actual mask.. I think...

[16:53] patrunjel: that's in SDL_video.h though [16:53] MorphixNW: well if someone could, they would have answered... it's just not that common of an issue, for most folks here to be educated about. [16:53] try the forums [16:53] nemo, well, i guess there are :) i don't really have a clue...i'm now learning, and i need the library so i can experiment [16:53] patrunjel: you probably already have it installed, just not included [16:54] PeterFabinski: is your guest 32 or 64 bit?

I've managed to sort it now (somehow). Tried to connect to an ensecured neighbours wifi...it connected then I tried my own secured and it worked. So not sure what happened. [16:55] Hey guys, in nano, I noticed that it color codes any code you put in there.. Is this looking for python syntax? [16:55] Cheers [16:55] hi. is there any way to completely DISABLE cpu throttling? I got a P4 prescott, 69º on idle. I noticed when temp is 79º, cpu throttles to 75% (T2). Will modprobe -r p4_clockmod disable throttling or just disable linux from noticing it? [16:55] Jed2: what was your wireless device? [16:55] jed2 good :D === Guest36477 is now known as trauler [16:55] patrunjel: http://gigionit.blogspot.com/2010/11/sdl-quickstart-for-linux-empty-window.html [16:55] PeterFabinski: progress? [16:55] patrunjel: did a quick google search [16:55] nemo, i sayd i'm sorry, i wanted to do something else :) [16:55] patrunjel: other option is to find a simple existing open source SDL app too [16:55] Cheers r00t [16:56] patrunjel: I couldn't read any sorry 'cause you were muted ;) [16:56] maveric cannot reboot on Asus F5N. any idea???? [16:56] KM the one in my laptop ? or my router. router is BT home hub [16:56] solya: what do you mean can't reboot? [16:56] PeterFabinski: try sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run [16:56] havent the foggiest what is in my laptop [16:57] Jed2: no, i mean your wireless device, any wireless router should work... if you don't know, then its amazing its fixed..lol [16:57] !tab | Jed2 [16:57] Jed2: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [16:57] Felix00: the package 'cpufrequtils' manages cpu throttling. you can use cpufreq-info and cpufreq-set to set how it is controlled [16:57] nemo, ok :) but it doesn't find SDL_video.h [16:57] Jed2, ur lucky it just worked [16:57] most wifi cards are pain [16:57] damn, i did ctrl+c during 'do-release-upgrade' it was asking me for keep or change my apache settings, how can i do know? [16:57] patrunjel: maybe /usr/include/SDL is not in your search path [16:57] KM0201: all 'initscripts' run on reboot, but when it killed all process, just stops and nothing happens [16:57] damn, i did ctrl+c during 'do-release-upgrade' it was asking me for keep or change my apache settings, how can i do know? how can i continue the process? [16:57] nemo, sorry, i forgot to tell, it has something to do with the thing that i installed Ubuntu using wubi? :) [16:58] lol yes, I'm ashamed to say I dont know...and I'm a an ROV pilot tech too :( [16:58] r00t4rd3d: not really... atheros/intel, typically just "work"... broadcom/ralink just require installing firmware/restricted drivers... not that hard once you figure it out. [16:58] patrunjel: oh. or else you didn't install the package that provides SDL video :) [16:58] lemme check [16:58] bastidrazor, i got cpufrequtils. Got cpufreq enabled in userspace gobernor, minumum is full speed, but i dont see any option to set the throttle. [16:58] solya: i have no idea on taht one [16:58] PeterFabinski: ? [16:58] patrunjel: I'm updating apt-file now [16:58] (to see what package provides it) [16:58] KM0201: on initscripts I mean the shutdown runlevel or something like that. I use an other lnx, just trin' to help sy [16:58] KM0201, i had to fight with my broadcom. [16:59] bonjoyee: i 8 lunch [16:59] PeterFabinski: sorry.. [16:59] $ apt-file search SDL_video.h [16:59] libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h [16:59] r00t4rd3d: which broadcom?.. most of them.. use either the new STA driver, or the b43 driver/firmware.. both of which are in the repositories and take about 10sec to install [16:59] patrunjel: no luck for you. seems to be part of the standard dev package - you installed that right? :) [16:59] KM0201, had to patch my kernel , install fakeroot , slap my mother [16:59] patrunjel: sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev [16:59] bonjoyee: its ok>> what did you say to do? [16:59] r00t4rd3d: what?... which broadcom [16:59] damn, i did ctrl+c during 'do-release-upgrade' it was asking me for keep or change my apache settings, how can i do know? how can i continue the process? [16:59] OK next question chaps....is there a need for anti virus with ubuntu? [16:59] patrunjel: that's covered in that tutorial I linked too, I think [16:59] sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run [16:59] Jed2: no [17:00] nemo: cheers [17:00] Jed2: unless you want to virus scan your windows dual boot - install clamav and maybe a clamav frontend for that [17:00] Felix00: change the governor.. cpufreq-info will tell you what speeds are available [17:00] Jed2: only if you're planning to share w/ windows... that way you can scan it, and don't unknowingly pass on a virus to a windows user [17:00] Jed2: scanning outside a running operating system can often offer better results for hiding viruses :) [17:00] KM0201: oh. that's a good one too [17:00] PeterFabinski: also give me the output of , uname -m [17:00] Does anybody in here have any experience with lirc and serial ir blasters? I had mine working, then moved to 10.04 and now I'm having some trouble... [17:00] anybody using maveric on Asus laptop? [17:00] KM0201: reminds me of when I was trying to unpack some small windows util. ran it in wine. it had a virus. poor virus was very confused and did not work at all [17:00] I want to move over completely to ubuntu after a trial period so I dont think I will need AV then [17:01] hello =) [17:01] nemo, when i was trying to run the thing in the tutorial on the console, i got some sort or warning...now i realised i had synaptic opened...dumb :) [17:01] KM0201: it tried to write some stuff to drive_c without much success :) [17:01] Jed2: very unlikely [17:01] patrunjel: yeah. lock on installer [17:01] nemo: i've tried to install known viruses in Wine... it never works right..lol [17:01] i've taken to XP in Vbox to test viruses [17:01] lol [17:01] KM0201: they try to do too low-level of stuff... [17:01] i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it? [17:01] KM0201: oh. yeah. that works well. with an image set to reset on shutdown [17:02] nemo, libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h this is the output for the libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h command [17:02] bastidrazor, do you know what throttling is? nothing to do with frequency stepping.

[17:05] you risk system being forcibly shut down if it gets much hotter [17:05] prescotts works 30º hotter than northwood. 69º is normal temp as intel says. [17:05] Can sy help with an ACPI problem?

[17:08] patrunjel: your problems are in what to specify to do a build [17:08] For Photoshop there is Genuine Fractals plugin to increase image resolution with very little loss in visual quality. Is there an analogue for GIMP? [17:08] Can sy help with ACPI problem? [17:08] bonjoyee: finally! something happened! [17:09] what? [17:09] nemo, and never passes 79º on full load. throttling does not *change* the freq in mhz. you can prove by monitoring cpu freq and launching cpuburn. Instead, PC load, diminishes, as it still work to the same frequ but its 25% of the time sleeping. So *implicitily* does not change the freq, but the freq in that moment isnt full loadable. [17:09] nemo, thanks a lot. http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/YouDaManJesus.jpg [17:09] so i want just to disable throttling [17:09] bonjoyee: finally! it installed! bye 4 a few min... i have to restart [17:10] bezao-: was it downloading when u cancelled? [17:10] bonjoyee: how DO i restart? [17:10] it must be easy, i just want to create an event that when Tx > T0 goto T0 [17:10] PeterFabinski: sudo reboot (i assume the guest) [17:10] nordle, try #x264 [17:11] bonjoyee: do i need to sudo anything? im logged in as root.

[17:11] Felix00: I've looked up where to setup the temperature limits manually in proc [17:11] Felix00: but that's hardly a convenient or nice way to do it [17:12] PeterFabinski: are u asking about guest os..if yes then if are root already..then just type reboot or else sudo reboot [17:12] brontoeee: cheers, will do. [17:12] Felix00: (looked up in the past when trying to prevent damage) sooo, gonna sit back and see if someone has a good way to do it in here. maybe do some googling of my own. [17:12] bonjoyee: ok [17:12] Felix00: but 79 is still very high. [17:12] Felix00: mine is running at 37 [17:13] i know nemo , OEM pc, bad heatsink [17:13] bezao-: u there? [17:13] bonjoyee no, it was installing [17:13] but till are ok for prescott, just google it [17:13] but till 80º are ok for prescott, just google it [17:13] maybe not for long periods of time though [17:14] seems that sort of thing could eventually degrade [17:14] buuut ok. fine [17:14] i let cpuburn, glxgears and screensaver all night [17:14] bonjoyee i did an apt-get update, it showed my and error, and told me to tpe dpkg --configure -a, and it got back where it was installing [17:14] 80°C seems to risk materials breaking down over time [17:14] nothing happened, temp = 79,77,79,77,... [17:14] because the throttling [17:14] bonjoyee i guess everything is okay now [17:14] bezao-: thats right... [17:14] Felix00: the throttling you apparently want to override ;) [17:15] bonjoyee: how do i auto-start network [17:15] nemo, its safe to do that. if 90º is reached, system reboots safely. chip burns at 130º+ [17:16] at least 120 [17:16] PeterFabinski: as in? [17:16] just want to see if without throttle i can get full cicles at hight temps [17:16] Felix00: I suspect being very hot for extended periods of time could acculumate damage. you might want to verify that [17:16] and maintain below 90º [17:16] like. can you run at 80 for days at a time [17:17] Felix00: "full cicles" ? what? [17:17] bonjoyee: start the BackTrack network service when the computer starts [17:17] Felix00: but. yeah. you're running at twice my temperature and want more. nutty [17:17] PeterFabinski: does it have network-manager? [17:17] bonjoyee: ? [17:18] bonjoyee: what linux are you using [17:18] PeterFabinski: debian..father of ubuntu and hence backtrack!!

[17:23] nemo, i already know the intel presscots handle big temps. I saw a comparisson between northwood and presscott: they monitor stability while turning off the fan in both cpus to see throttling and shutdown. Both processors act the same way, with the only difference that prescott works 35º hotter, and crit temp is higher. [17:23] bonjoyee: no [17:23] PeterFabinski, this is an ubuntu channel ask in #backtrack-linux [17:24] sam-_-: i was wondering if thre was a channel for that! thx [17:24] PeterFabinski: did u get the shared folder? [17:24] hi all... where store chromium bookmaks??? [17:24] hi [17:24] From the Ubuntu Software Center qcad was selected and installed. All went well. I can find and launch the program from its /usr/bin location. Why isn't there a selection in the Applications menu or one of its submenus? Can this be created? [17:24] can someone help me? [17:24] Felix00: I'm not sure of your sources but there's a big difference between running hot for 10 minutes and running hot for hours [17:24] lets reask in other way: How to make cpufreq, cpufreq-utils, or acpid to FIX permanently Tx value to T0? [17:24] none_13: not sure where they are stored, but you can import/xport them same as Firefox and any other browser [17:24] Felix00: poking around online I see plenty of people who consider higher than 65 not good on a prescott [17:24] Gamer1990: just state your question, if someone can help, theyw ill [17:25] how do i get my video card to stop flickering? [17:25] Felix00: soo. yeah. clearly you feel you know what you're doing, I'll just drop it. g/l, hope you get what you want and don't kill your system [17:25] bonjoyee: the guest additions are installed. i havent looked for the folder yet. its not on the desktop [17:25] jimfleig: right click on the applications menu, click on edit menus. add the application that you want [17:25] nemo, 12hrs at full load 79º last night, i repeat. i got this pc since 3 years and always was hotty. i repeat, dont worry about that [17:25] Gamer1990: is it ATI? [17:25] yes [17:25] it is an ATI Radeon X1600 PRO 512 AGP [17:25] Felix00: is all fine until it dies ;) but ok. dropping it [17:25] ok [17:26] Gamer1990: it depends really, do you have desktop effects enabled?.. [17:26] no [17:26] PeterFabinski: you need to mount the shared folder manually [17:26] i just installed it a few minutes ago [17:26] rigved:ok [17:26] so, someone ould tell me if what i want to do is an acpid event or something? [17:26] Gamer1990: did you install the driver for ATI? [17:26] PeterFabinski: it wont be on the desktop..u have mount it using sudo mount -t vboxsf sharename mountpoint [17:26] could* [17:26] no.

Files I've been saving on a NTFS partition in Ubuntu have now gone missing. I managed to recover some using chkdsk, but not all, and I've found other people have the same problem, and certain workarounds. But it's worrying me - I can't afford to lose data. How do Ubuntu users dual-booting have a Documents folder that can be accessed both in Ubuntu and Windows? [17:44] What? [17:44] it doesn't tell me where to get the driver [17:44] Oh, you just said "chkdsk", whoops [17:44] i must be missing something. [17:45] how can I stop all these Connect and left messages on screen? [17:45] From the Ubuntu Software Center qcad was selected and installed. All went well. I can find and launch the program from its /usr/bin location. Why isn't there a selection in the Applications menu or one of its submenus? Can this be created?

I think if I hibernate windows, then boot up linux, it can corrupt the ntfs windows partition.

[17:52] I have an ASUS M3N78-Pro mobo with an NVIDIA 8300 onboard video with HDMI connector. I installed the proprietary driver from the nvidia website, and video on my HDTV works just fine. My issue is that I get no audio over the HDMI cable even though I have HDMI audio enabled in the BIOS, and also have HDMI audio out selected in Ubuntu sound preferences. Am I missing something? [17:52] why am i being ignored? [17:52] PeterFabinski, press alt + f2 and type nm-applet [17:52] Can a selection in the Applications menu be created? [17:53] I think the other problem is ntfs is such a terrible filesystem. But then the only other filesystem windows can read is FAT - and although I think that's better for recovering files, it only stores file sizes up to 4GB and is pretty bad too.

[18:05] my acer revo's audio has suddenly stopped working with maverick. any ideas on how to get this back? Checked all sound settings and everything is as it should be... it's not a HW issue as XBMC Live on the same machine works fine [18:05] gregL: I do have a NAS which shares files thru smb, but it's a bit noisy and not 100% reliable so I just use it for backups rather than holding a master copy of files [18:05] bonjoyee: Thanks I will see what I can do with this [18:06] maxo, there is software for Win that enables it to access ext3 [18:06] maxo: sorry no help there..I have never tried to duel boot... [18:07] keito: ah yes, I just saw that, but not sure how reliable it is [18:07] I'm wondering whether I should do the most extreme thing I can do - wipe Windows 7 altogether, and then just run it within virtualbox on ubuntu.

My old lady is informing me that we have to go to church. [18:10] liminal, xorg.conf [18:10] keito sure.. but where [18:10] liminal, good question... monitor device section?! have a google [18:11] keito i have.. it doesnt [18:11] keito: but I think the problem is if I hibernate windows (though I'm not even sure if this is what happened this time), it caches ntfs data. Then, if I boot ubuntu and access that ntfs partition (even though it's not supposed to be able to, since it should have some sort of flag set on the partition), then boot back into windows, windows then messes up that ntfs partition [18:12] maxo, ahhh in which case VB [18:12] Does anybody know a good resource for learning Linux from the ground up? Like, I want to be saavy enough to build and configure my own distro if I wanted.

[18:13] liminal, you specify main monitor and second monitor [18:13] sam ? [18:13] craigggles you could use scp [18:13] Abhish: crawl before you walk... learn the basics of the OS first [18:14] what is a quick way to purge all sound settings without removing and re-installing? my sound has died [18:14] sam-_-_ , help. [18:14] sam-_-_ , help. [18:14] sam-_-_ , help. === kirkmoreno1 is now known as Bboy [18:15] Abhish: there's a distro that you have to compile it all yourself. I can't remember the name now though. But prob. best play around with command-line terminal stuff and getting the basics before building a whole distro [18:15] maxo - linux from scratch [18:15] maxo, gentoo?! [18:15] yes gentoo! [18:16] and linux from scratch [18:16] yes [18:16] Well, I'm not talking about necesssarilly building a distro. But I would like aa source where I could learn up to that point. I went to the book store, and all the books there covered things I already knew. [18:16] !sound > keito [18:16] keito, please see my private message [18:18] !Unity [18:18] Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [18:18] The sound troubleshooting wiki is seriously out-of-date. [18:18] keito, better "/msg ubottu !sound" [18:19] sam-_-_, yeah just seen that tip in a pm from the bot [18:19] Abhish: when you say your own destro do you want to make a derivitive of ubuntu? you can create your own caches of deb files or create you own boot cd's [18:20] keito, ok. i didn't know. [18:20] sam-_-_, np cheers for the tip though ;0) [18:20] I have thought of that. But mainly I just really want to get geeky with it. I want ot understand the system fully. [18:21] sacarlson basically, I just really want to understand Linux on a very fundamental level. [18:22] Abhish, there is no single resource imho but you can always read the source code :-) [18:22] Abhish: then use ground up distros and learn the init system [18:22] Abhish, get gentoo, it sounds like that is what you want [18:22] Abhish: you need a bit more focus to start maybe you want to learn to program in c? maybe look at the source in the kernel at kernel.org with git? [18:22] how do I install xmms [18:22] !xmms [18:22] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious or xmms2 instead. [18:22] Abhish, gentoo is a good tip and maybe linux from scratch [18:22] how do I install xmms2 [18:22] !find xmms2 [18:22] Found: gkrellxmms2, gxmms2, remuco-xmms2, wmxmms2, xmms2, xmms2-client-avahi, xmms2-client-cli, xmms2-client-medialib-updater, xmms2-client-nycli, xmms2-client-vis (and 52 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xmms2&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all [18:22] faceface, audacious [18:23] totem works quite well [18:23] !package xmms2 [18:23] keito: I dont like audacous or otem [18:23] xmms2 then [18:23] I am learning C and C++ also, but I want to understand the system architecture. What makes it tick... [18:23] faceface, sudo apt-get install xmms2 from the terminal window would do it. === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [18:23] ty [18:24] Abhish: to acomplish anything you need focus and a goal. put your first goal at a point you can reach or strive for. [18:24] Abhish, LFS teaches people how a Linux system works internally [18:25] sacarlson Ok, ultimately my goal would be to create my own distro... but I want the understanding that entails. I am looking at Linux From Scratch now... looks like a good resource. [18:25] Abhish, that's a quote from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [18:25] does xmms2 have a gui? xmms2 at the cli just gives me a command listing [18:26] Why was gentoo recommended? [18:26] Abhish: cuz it's nice and hard, you'll love it. [18:26] Isn't that just another pre-packaged distro? [18:26] O_O [18:26] That sounds so dirty. [18:26] Is there a way to change Pidgin status from memenu? [18:26] KM0201: hard as in robust? [18:26] faceface: try audacious... very similar to the old xmms, if that what you're looking for. [18:26] rigved: yes... [18:27] promoe is a gui for xmms2. sudo apt-get install promoe [18:27] Abhish, you compile everything from source, beginning with the kernel, and build your system from there [18:27] KM0201: I'll give it a go, but I don't remeber liking in ;-) [18:27] faceface, promoe is a good gui for xmms2 [18:27] faceface: it's more or less the same thing... even uses xmms Skins if you hvae any downloaded [18:27] kc [18:28] ic [18:28] Abhish, LFS is where you basically create a distro by putting the kernel and packages together. gentoo is a distro where you build everything from scratch [18:28] I'll take a look at gentoo. I have downloaded the books from LFS. [18:28] why does the flex package make a symlink for flex++ that points to flex? aren't they different programs? [18:28] KM0201: hmm... looks good! Now let see if it can handle m3u... [18:28] Abhish: all that is really needed to make a custom destro is to create a prototype of the way you want you linux and package it into a iso cd and support a method of distubution in this case apt-get. [18:29] faceface: pretty sure it can... not 100% though [18:29] faceface: if not, download vlc it'll play m3u [18:29] right [18:29] I didn't imagine it would be very difficult... but I want to make damn sure that I know what I'm doing so I can get the desired result. [18:29] Does any one know how to fix a problem with the bar that has the exit, maximize and minimize thats mising? [18:30] And I especially want the knowledge to be able to effectively trouble shoot my issues, instead of googlin myself into a coma. [18:30] kyleslaptop: it's missing?.. are you using some sort of theme you downloaded, etc? [18:30] kyleslaptop, add them in via gconf-editor? [18:30] KM0201: audacious ++! I wonder why I thought I didn't like it! [18:30] ty all [18:30] does anyone have a link to tor not on the tor website? I need to download it, but the tor website is blocked where I am [18:30] Abhish: and thats perfectly understandable, but you need to learn the OS, before you try to build one.... you don't learn to swim by becoming a lifeguard [18:30] anyone can help me in assigning mouse events in Xlib? [18:30] Abhish: maybe take a look at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/remastersys after you have your prototype the way you want it to package into iso [18:31] alecbenzer, obviously not or not anymore [18:31] faceface: dunno, i've used it since the original xmms went away [18:31] Abhish, what you desire takes year and years. [18:31] alecbenzer, maybe it detects if it's run via symlink [18:31] I'm an obsessive geek. I have years and years. [18:31] alecbenzer, then behaves differently [18:31] I'm looking at building a new computer.....I do a lot of ripping DVDs and CDs so I want something with a lot of CPU power....I'm looking at the phenom 6 core. anyone have any comments about the phenom 6 core vs. the intel 6 core? [18:31] kyleslaptop, in gconf-editor it's under Apps>Metacity>General -- Button Layout should be "close,minimize,maximize:" [18:31] thinking of switching from opendns to google dns - does ping matter? theres 25ms difference [18:32] Phenom 6 core is excellent. [18:32] Abhish: if you have years and years, then just google info on Linux from Scratch, and go at it... [18:32] Friar, why would you need a 6 core. any reasons? [18:32] Abhish: it doesn't really take years and years to make a custom iso just collect the packages you like and change the settings the way you like and do it [18:32] I'm starting on that now. [18:32] sam, I want them for encoding.... === yp is now known as Guest86155 [18:33] sam-_-_: hm, I didn't know that could be done. it seems to not be working with a sample input file from a tutorial though...but I guess the tutorial's file might just be old or something [18:33] Friar,x264? [18:33] Abhish: well, its' really off topic for this channel, linux from scratch has a channel on another network [18:33] do it quite a bit, and my laptop right now only gets about 20 frames per second....yes sam, I use handbrake with H.264 [18:33] I'll go through LFS info for starters.

Does anyone know if they are coming out with any new drives? [18:36] Friar, i would google for some benchmarks with x264 [18:36] Where to find gnome-unity and can it be used on 10.04 live cd [18:36] sayres: that looks like system Monitor.. not 100% sure though [18:36] k [18:36] sayres: good looking screenshot though [18:36] Friar, they are quite common. be sure that they use the same settings [18:36] Where can I read about why files are color coded the way they are in Ubuntu? I seem to recall a kind of list or something... [18:36] Abhish: oh if you don't know what to look up take a look at what files you see in /usr/bin and /bin and us man on what you see. that might give you an idea. if that fails google it [18:38] ce nemusu [18:38] MarkSS, you are talking about /etc/bash.bashrc ? [18:39] sacarlson good idea, thanks. [18:39] MarkSS, color coded?? [18:39] Ok, I'm looking at the LFS books now. This looks to be EXACTLY what I had hoped for. Thanks for the tip! [18:40] MarkSS: thats "dircolors" from coreutils [18:40] I go to /usr/bin and type ls and it gives me a long list of stuff. Some are green, some blue, some red, some double highlighted... [18:40] Ah! [18:40] Abhish, but keep in mind that the ubuntu way may be different sometimes [18:40] I'm just trying to figure out what each color means heh [18:40] Where can I view dircolors? [18:41] MarkSS: well you can see with ls -l how that is maped [18:41] sam-_-_ thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I have played with a couple of distros, and have noticed some subtle yet significant differences. [18:41] MarkSS, echo $LS_COLORS [18:41] MarkSS, for the colors that ls uses [18:42] Where to find gnome-unity and can it be used on 10.04 live cd [18:42] ahhhh [18:42] Thanks!

[18:47] Ray2, i realize i didn't answer your question, sorry. if you run synaptic, you should be able to install it just by searching for unity, making unity your default gui however, im not 100% certain of. you may be able to at login [18:47] I need to install a plugin-wireless usb key thing. What program is good for doing it? It requires a CD to install the driver. Will need to extract that somehow too. [18:48] Ciao amici di #ubuntu !!

I have a usb-key like device that gives me wireless. I need to get a file off the driver CD it came with to make it work. What package(s) will enable me to set this up and get my connection working?

[18:52] How would I do that? [18:52] hylian, Unity not found in synaptic ...Is it still unstable ...Do you need to download an iso to have it instead of gnome [18:52] braidlove, under the system - administration - additional drivers will show you what drivers are running if any, and what is available. all the drivers in the additional drivers section are usually not open.

[18:53] any idea why? [18:53] hylian: thanks. "additional drivers" shows just a big blank. [18:53] yes i install from cd [18:53] Ray2, well, i know that if you download the netbook edition, you will already have it. if you are not using a netbook, it defaults to gnome, and vice versa, but once it is installed, you can choose your favorite gui at login. [18:53] xangua, I am using a pc with 10.04 [18:53] hylian: does this mean I'm NOT running proprietary driver ? Does that mean also that I'm NOT running open driver? [18:54] P1nkrabbit, it shouldn't be necessary to retrieve any files for the install [18:54] Ray2: unity is only aviable since 10.10 [18:54] P1nkrabbit, no. rc.local for that -- try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659091 [18:54] braidlove, ofcoarse i can't tell from here, but if you haven't installed any driver you will be running off of the default no thrills vesa driver, which is open. [18:54] hello people [18:54] P1nkrabbit, that wasn't meant for you sorry! ;0) [18:54] xangua, hylian thanks for the info [18:54] is there software to cut mp3 in half in ubuntu? [18:54] hylian: is open better than propiertary? [18:55] wizardslovak, mp3splt [18:55] I guess it just doesn't work [18:55] hylian: also, if proprieatray driver is better than open driver, where can i get proprietary drivers? [18:55] http://pastebin.ca/2023731 [18:55] plz [18:55] MarkSS: iwconfig gives no output, and dmesg gives info when you plug in the adapter [18:55] braidlove, define better. for me, no. i like 3d environments, like celestia, so no. also if you like those things that make your desktop look slick like the see through menu's and bar's, then no.

[18:57] i also have the issue that i currently have the internet but when running the installation i dont have internet, and it is a wired connection i use. [18:57] keito, do u know how to cut with ti? [18:57] sam-_-_, audacity is a little hardcore for mere splitting, mp3splt is perfect for the job.... I do love audacity though =D [18:57] MarkSS: sounds like it's a ralink chip and may need to look at this http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1567328 [18:57] braidlove, what is your hardware? if it is intel based, then you may be using the best driver for your hardware already, or you could be using a nvidia or ati card that is not supported.

[19:00] sam-_-_: i don't understand [19:00] i have found the street where the computer is located, but i need the exact street number, that would presupose that it is a fixed static ip [19:00] hylian: thanks.

[19:02] braidlove, what sam is saying is that the open driver, which does work, does not have all the functionality that the proprietary driver has. [19:03] yet [19:03] wilhart, that tends to fix most peoples issues, but it's a right royal pain in the ass to do [19:03] Could you be a bit more specific?

[19:05] hylian, the opensource driver is fine. it doesn't provide full 3d accel yet but other than that... [19:05] sudo chmod +x mount -t vboxsf cdrive /home/pid/cdrive Is that right?

[19:27] pid_, literally everything... you want to pay attention to the last bit [19:27] Lancelot, i'm using 10.10 [19:27] do i uncomment the bash sript [19:28] script [19:28] yop129, i downloaded and installed 10.10, and it says im using 11.04 too.. [19:28] hylian, no, i dled 10.10 and installed that, i've checked the about page before and it's shown 10.10, not for some reason it shows 11.04 [19:28] bwah? [19:28] bliss_, above the exit line yes, but no need for su [19:28] hylian, hmm, really odd, says released in April 2011 lol [19:29] Wyn: I'm getting a lot of breakes [19:29] mongy: thanks why no need for su? [19:29] bliss_: just enter the line befor the exit 0 line.. thats all there is to it. [19:29] NCS_One: was the mkv a download from, errr the web ? [19:29] yop129, uname -a should give you the true info using the terminal [19:29] Wyn: yes [19:29] mine says 11.04 also [19:29] bliss_, the script (rc.local) is run as root [19:30] mongy: ok [19:30] bliss_: you may want a & at the end of that line. [19:30] yop129, oops that's what kernal version you are using [19:30] hylian, hmm it outputs 2.6.35-23generic [19:30] Dr_Willis: say that again please [19:30] bliss_: err.. you do want a su -- because it looks like youa are runnign that as the vboxers user.. from what i recall. [19:30] yes [19:31] bliss_: --> commandyouarerunning & [19:31] alright well at least it's not just me lol [19:31] yop129, it's lsb_release -a not uname, my bad. [19:31] su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv" & [19:31] bliss_, sorry, usually dont need su :) Dr_Willis to the rescue [19:31] ah ok thanks [19:31] mongy: you dont want screen running as root. :) [19:32] NCS_One: it may be the source file then, if VLC and movie player for instance show the same it is the source, side note to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:32] hylian, alright now it shows 10.10, guess someone updated the about page too soon [19:32] yop129, it says under about ubuntu 11.04, but lsb_release -a says 10.10. [19:32] Dr_Willis, i dont use rc.local much, very simple commands normally... ill keep that in mind [19:32] night all [19:32] yop129, ok, cool [19:32] yop129, why does it bother you? [19:32] hylian, yeah, since it's not just me then i won't worry [19:33] sam-_-_, nah, just wanted to make sure it's not just me, that there's not something wrong [19:33] yop129, ok :-) [19:33] Just a question to all... who's really is writing and compiling ubuntu and placing it online for all of us? [19:33] who are the devs [19:33] the guide is not helping.. [19:33] !up === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [19:34] bx-gh: me, im all up in your box [19:34] bx-gh folks from all over the world [19:34] Wyn: already have that, I always had problems playing mkv files, but when I try the same source on windows it plays ok [19:34] Hi, I am not showing up as part of a group even though I am on the group line in /etc/group. Any ideas [19:34] bx-gh, the dev is done at launchpad.net [19:34] lol anyway one more question, i installed xchat, but i don't get any notifications, i beleive it's called lib-notify right?, I even installed the libnotify-bin optional package when installing xchat [19:34] keito: the guide aint helping much, im still stuck here mate [19:34] xchat-indicator [19:34] bx-gh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#Ubuntu%20Core%20Developers [19:35] but how makes the finally decision for what goes in and comes out of this distro [19:35] ok thanks [19:35] pngl: Changes to group membership doesn't take effect before you log in again. [19:35] In courier mail I have to change owner for /var/run/authdaemon to daemon:daemon. How can I let this happen @ boot time? [19:35] is there a way to install wubi bigger than 30gb or to increase the size after? [19:36] geirha: doesn't opening a new bash count as login? [19:36] pngl: It does not. [19:36] mongy, any idea what the libnotify-bin was that is listed underneath the xchat install? [19:36] NCS_One: weird, try vls filename.mkv [19:36] yop129, no idea.. but the app you need is xchat-indicator. [19:36] geirha: thank you. [19:36] mongy, alright, thanks [19:36] clear [19:37] yop129, well its the notify system itself, just what it has to do with xchat (nothing) idk === littlespy_ is now known as kingOfBudz [19:37] NCS_One: watch for the error and vlc's output and then we can debug the traceback [19:37] Dr_Willis: like this does anything need uncommenting http://pastebin.com/u6CQRj3L [19:37] my computer's broke [19:37] bliss_, only 1 " ? [19:38] mongy, hmm that's weird because it was originally blanked out underneath the xchat in ubuntu software center and i selected it so that i would get the notifications, but nothing from xchat, every other ntoficastion worked before [19:38] yop129, I think some apps have it coded in, and others dont, and need extra packages, like xchat [19:39] kingOfBudz then let it acquire currency... [19:39] bliss_, looks ok apart from that tho.... [19:39] mongy: ok thanks whats & for? [19:39] yop129: i am using pidgin for irc... [19:40] mongy, yeah just weird why it has libnotify-bin listed underneath it, ok i installed the indicator let me restart and try it [19:40] puts it to background [19:40] i know it sucks i was really stoned and spilled coffee on it [19:40] GaryD, i've used it before, don't really like it, pidgin is for im [19:40] brb [19:40] sam-_-_: ok. i'll update [19:41] sam-_-_: but how can i update ONLY the packages relevant to this driver? [19:41] bliss_: the Dr is not in the house and no [19:41] braidlove, why wouldn't you want to update everything? [19:41] mongy: ok thanks whats & for? [19:41] noonian: sometimes packages can break things [19:41] can someone mention my name, i wanna see if the notification works [19:41] kingOfBudz: did you try and turn it on again ? [19:42] yop129: [19:42] braidlove, try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon [19:42] how do you get in/out of the console only mode? [19:42] braidlove, might be a lot nonetheless [19:42] sam-_-_: xserver-xorg-video-radeon is already the newest version. [19:42] If anyone knows how to answer this question I will be greatful: I have just installed ubuntu 10.10 and when the computer boots it doesn [19:42] t show the GUI [19:42] damn, didn't work one sec [19:42] braidlove did you run sudo apt-get update before?

[19:46] UbuntuNewbie: it may not be starting at the right run level, if it is a new clean install just re-install it, it would prob be quicker [19:46] how to install intous 4 driver??? [19:46] braidlove, country? [19:46] Wyn Okay, I will try that, thanks [19:46] Guest50829, iTunes doesnt have a linux version so you are stuck either using a VM or running it through wine. If you havent tried alternatives though I would recommend banshee [19:46] yop129: yop129 yop129 [19:46] hey guys my cd drive wont accept burn cds can someone help me fix it [19:47] sam-_-_: canada [19:47] Wyn, alright cool, thanks [19:47] Yeah, nothing works really.

I dont get notifications unless I use the indicator pkg [19:51] ay_: your burning it wrong then I guess, just use a USB if you can, fast and fun [19:51] but it was working before but when i ran a system recovery it just stop work [19:51] hey guys anyone good with multi display setups? [19:51] Wyn: lol...yep...with the size of flash drives these days you can be amazed what you can use them for. [19:51] yop129, I think you are thinking of other methods of notification, Im more interested in the ubuntu notify system.. [19:51] but original discs work fine but just the burn disc dont work [19:52] nicolaus: you mean you have a dual boot and the cd's work in one system and not the other, you are putting the disks in another couputer or you have taken the cd-rom hardware out and are testing it under windows ? [19:52] mongy, try uninstalling the xchatindicator and in prefrences just turn on show tray balloons on highlighted message and private message, i did that and it worked [19:52] mongy, yeah the ubuntu one where u receive a message at top right, right? [19:52] rrc.local -with or without the quotes su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv [19:53] yop129, yeah thats what I mean... I prefer to get notifications this way.. [19:53] su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv" [19:53] anyone recommend a linux game programming book?? [19:53] mongy, yeah that's how i'm getting it now without indicator, weird [19:53] yop129, but what about when you are on a different desktop [19:53] when will linux drivers for sound and graphics be equal to windows? [19:54] is it possible to make an ubuntu system with a gui that is written completely in html/css/javascript? sort of a webuntu? [19:54] SageX, which programming-language [19:54] no wyn: The pc is only windows 7 but it wont read burn cds only originals. [19:54] mongy, what do u mean different desktop, like workspace? i was on different workspace a second ago and got notification that u sent [19:54] magicianlord, when vendors become less proprietary :) [19:54] yop129, thru the notification system? [19:54] i want to install ubuntu but i have it on a burn cd that i have been using a long time which works fine but when i put it in the computer it dont work [19:55] mongy, yeah, the one that popups with black background [19:55] nicolaus, try cleaning the lens of the cd drive or burn ubuntu again then try again [19:55] nicolaus: im sorry, you cant read burned cd's on a windows installation or Ubuntu ? and it is your reader anyway i would think, not all cd reader hardware supports burned cd's of some types cd-+r example [19:55] sam-_-_, C# / C++ [19:55] yop129, well thats changed then.... I tried without ages ago [19:55] manbra: what is the vendors' major malfunction? [19:55] let me try it [19:55] Hey folks [19:55] mongy: su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv" with or without the quotes [19:56] yop oh wait, you use a tray icon? I dont [19:56] Is there a way to emulate Active Desktops in Ubuntu? IE, having a web page as the wallpaper? [19:56] last thing I want is extra stuff up there [19:56] I'm looking for some help with remote administration of Ubuntu, anyone able to help please? [19:56] magicianlord: They refuse to provide specifications that would allow linux developers to write drivers. [19:56] Hydrogoo: whats the problem ? [19:56] mongy, ok, yeah u'll see it works, because i installed the indicator and still didn't work, so i check the settings turned the feature on in alerts and it worked, so i'm like do i really need the indicator, i unistalled the indicator, restarted xchat and the notifications still work [19:56] SageX, well i don't know of a book but depending on the game you may want to learn opengl? [19:56] wyn: i think so too because when i go in device manager i see that there is a region set on it and on this computer here when i check windows 7 is says no region selected but on the laptop with the problem it wont work [19:57] sam-_-_: I will try cleaning the drive also and see what happens [19:57] Jordan_U: should there be a law made that makes this required, for the sake of the free computing world? [19:57] sam-_-_, yeah would you know where to start with OpenGl [19:57] !ot | magicianlord [19:57] magicianlord: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:57] yop129: you don't need the xchat-indicator for notifications. just if you want an icon in the panel. [19:58] SageX, there are dozens of opengl tuts on the internet [19:58] GaryD, well that's odd because i don't have it yet i have the icon in the panel [19:58] thanks sam-_-_ [19:58] nicolaus: the reader on Windows and the reader on the laptop are not the same ones, if the reader on the laptop plats other cd's then it is not the lens, try sudo regionset and changing region and see if that helps [19:58] Can someone help me with this question?.... Why is it all linux, kernel, or linux kernel IRC channels sooo quiet [19:59] yop129: hmmm [19:59] yop129, ok trying without....... [19:59] here [19:59] ill send u something [19:59] mongy, [19:59] is there a way to install wubi bigger than 30gb or to increase the size after? [19:59] mongy: su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv" with or without the quotes [19:59] SageX, maybe libsdl.org might be interessting for you? [19:59] yop129, well I'll be...... [19:59] mongy, worked right? [19:59] bliss_, I dont know, sorry. try with and without, whatever works :) [19:59] yop129: i see...the xchat-indicator allows xchat to integrate with the indicator-messages plugin [20:00] i have problem in xubuntu with second dispay.. it does nothing :) [20:00] yeah [20:00] Is there a way to clear the bash shell command line quickly? [20:00] wyn: Ubuntu is not on the laptop i am trying to work on [20:00] GaryD, what's the indicator-messages plugin, like the top right notifications/ [20:00] ok one more thing [20:00] sam-_-_, got it their site is interesting [20:00] yop129, that explans why I was getting it even when I have xchat in focus.... it was using 2 notifications :) [20:00] how do i get ubuntu to run from a flash drive [20:00] gizmobay: ctrl U [20:00] ? [20:01] nicolaus: UNETBootin [20:01] thanks [20:01] mongy, well, i fixed that problem for u without even intending to :P [20:01] yop129: yep...the little envelope icon that allows you to control evolution, pidgin, gmailwatcher, and xchat... [20:01] nicolaus: Windows 7 is not supported in this channel [20:01] GaryD, well see both mongy and i removed the indicator, but we still receive the notifications, so it's not that [20:02] Hydrogoo: use putty http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe [20:02] SageX, game programming on linux is not that different from windows. (if you use opengl) so tutorials for windows will help as well [20:02] yeh i kno [20:02] i want ubuntu on that computer [20:02] yop129: the notificatoions come from notify-osd.... [20:02] but it wont boot froma flashdrive dont kno why [20:02] i have problem in xubuntu with second dispay.. it does nothing :) does anybody have an idea where is the problem? [20:02] it keeps asking me to mount it [20:02] yop129, well must be new in 2.8.8, it didnt do it in 2.8.6 [20:02] nicolaus: check the BIOS, make sure it can boot from usb's [20:02] thanks for the heads up sam-_-_ [20:02] nicolaus: check in the bios settings [20:03] One other question. When you have multiple shell tabs open, they don't share history until you reboot. For example, I type pwd on one shell I can't use the errors keys on the other shell to get the previous typed command. Is there a command or key stroke to sync up the history so to speak? [20:03] yeh it do that [20:03] What is the easiest way to backup a partition (No compression needed) [20:03] GaryD, hmm, control it how exactly i have the icon in the envelope thing and when i click on it, it gives me a network list [20:03] gizmobay: no [20:03] it boots but when i click install ubuntu [20:03] okay thanks [20:03] SageX, glad i could help a little [20:03] it ask me to mount it to a cd drive [20:03] I have my /home on its own partition and want to back it up before I reinstall ubunutu [20:03] nicolaus: does the flash drive have the boot flag? is it bootable? [20:04] nicolaus: really ? how did you put Ubuntu on the usb ? [20:04] can someone help me capture network traffic and after lets say 30 mins, to overwrite the dump? [20:04] nicolaus: how did you create the ubuntu flash drive? [20:04] i use a software called ultraiso [20:04] it as never failed me before [20:04] is there a utility for that? [20:04] i have problem in xubuntu with second dispay.. it does nothing :) does anybody have an idea where is the problem? [20:04] i use it for other operating systems so i kno it works [20:04] Hi I have a dual boot computer I re-installed windows in it now I don't see the grub menu it just boots into windows how do I acess my Ubuntu box ? [20:04] nicolaus: dont know that one [20:04] Wyn: quit typing so fast...or maybe i'll wait to see if you answer...lol [20:05] GaryD: hah :D [20:05] GaryD: all yours mate;) === darth_grantius_ is now known as darth_grantius [20:05] UbuntuLily, personally I`d rsync -av . /media/backupdevice/ [20:06] UbuntuLily, sth. like this tar -cvzf ~/backup.tar.gz ~/ [20:06] sam-_-_, your help is greatly appreciated [20:06] hello [20:06] Heya [20:06] UbuntuLily, mongy rsync is great too [20:06] hello [20:06] nicolaus: you need to download unetbootin, and use it....i can almost guarantee it will work. i wouldn't recommend using anything else...try it. [20:06] how are you guys doing today? [20:07] does any one use veetle [20:07] Hydrogoo: so whats up with shorewall ? [20:07] garyd i sure will === the_rogue_smiler is now known as _______________ [20:07] saykou, no is it any good? [20:07] sam-_-_, yeah, actually would use the --delete option as well, personally. [20:07] Question: Anybody know of any ubuntu tools to notice a machine going down? [20:07] I've installed it and using a guide that I've found, but it isn't giving me the corect area where shorewall should be installed [20:07] nicolaus: cool....let us know when you're on ubuntu [20:08] Quick question for those more elite than I. I uninstalled something I should not have using apt in Hardy, and it uninstalled a bunch of important stuff that depended on it, like gedit. Is there a way to tell apt to automatically install all default Hardy packages by any chance? [20:08] facepollution: install 10.10 [20:08] Hi I have a dual boot computer I re-installed windows in it now I don't see the grub menu it just boots into windows how do I acess my Ubuntu box ? [20:08] facepollution: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [20:08] sam-_-_, its a prog that enables you to see live stream from a website fairly used [20:08] pinche2643, ping ? [20:08] GaryD, would u happen to know if there is a difference between notif-osd and libnotify-bin? [20:09] hi [20:09] Hydrogoo: you mean you can not find the config files ? also do not remote install it if you can help it [20:09] sam - what do u mean ping? [20:09] pinche2643: tradtional IRC attention request, ping answer pong [20:09] yop129, 1 sends and 1 displays [20:09] saykou, yes i noticed. is it any good? [20:10] yop129: libnotify-bin contains programs for sending messages to a notification daemon, such as notify-send, notify-osd is a special notification daemon (there are others) [20:10] GaryD: Exactly what I needed. You're a lifesaver. [20:10] pong [20:10] yop129: special = specific [20:10] sam-_-_ yes [20:10] yop129, hmm, I wonder what notify-osd-icons look like [20:10] i have problem with my "liveticker news" on 945GC intel card...liveticker is running jerky...any tip what to change in my xorg.conf file? [20:11] pinche2643 ping the machine. if it doesn't respond anymore it's down [20:11] trism, so i guess empathy and others use notify-osd because i don't have libnotify-bin installed right? [20:11] sam-_-_: hah, not ping - pong then ? thats funny [20:11] yop129, well its 'optional' so you dont need it [20:11] how do i use wget to download from megaupload? [20:11] saykou ok i might try it someday === darth_grantius_ is now known as darth_grantius [20:12] sam, thanks. but I am looking for something more sophisticated. no pong means machine is down. i want a tool that tells me "hard drive is failing" or "fan is failing" or "memory blocks corrupted" [20:12] mongy, hmm, but apparently programs can send out notifications on their own then, they don't need libnotify-bin right? [20:12] yop129: none of them actually use notify-osd, they use libnotify to send a notification, and notify-osd receives it (although they may depend on notify-osd, but that would be more of an ubuntu thing) [20:12] yop129, wonder if the notify-osd-icons would show the icon as well in the notification......cool if so [20:12] I installed shorewall locally and when following the guide I found via google, I cannot seem to find the config files [20:12] yop129: i believe the difference is that libnotify-bin is a library used by some programs to send messages to the notification area, while notify-osd is a complete notification framework for programs that have the capability to talk through it. [20:12] sam-_-_ theres a problem with it ... i can't install and it seams its because of im using x86_x64 ubuntu [20:12] facepollutioin: no prob [20:13] Sean93: you can't iirc, and the hacking required is more time consuming than using a browser, unless you have a account with direct access to the files [20:13] is there a way to install wubi bigger than 30gb or to increase the size after? [20:13] expiation: try a real install [20:13] yop129: libnotify-bin just contains a command line program, notify-send, that lets you use libnotify from the command line, such at typing: notify-send "Message Title" "This is my notification" [20:13] Hydrogoo: prob in /etc [20:14] saykou, what's the error? [20:14] trism: cool....thanks for clarifying. that is good to know. [20:14] I'm using the following guide http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-a-dedicated-web-server-for-free/ [20:14] i install the script and it wont work sam-_-_ [20:14] trism, ohh alright, so it's for user use and scripts not what programs use to interact, weird that they have it as one of the options to install for xchat [20:14] Part 6 is the shorewall install [20:15] xangua i just want to try it for awhile before replacing :\ [20:15] how do i use wget to download from megaupload? [20:15] trism: what should be installed, xfce4notify, or python-notify [20:15] Sean93: i already answered that [20:15] Sean93: you can't iirc, and the hacking required is more time consuming than using a browser, unless you have a account with direct access to the files [20:15] pinche2643, nagios might be for you [20:15] hello guys how's going i missed u all [20:16] Hydrogoo: ls /etc/sho and press the tab key [20:16] guys i need a serious help [20:16] saykou i need more info. what do you do? and what doesn't work then [20:16] xchat recommends libnotify because it can use it to send notifications. i bet if you didn't have libnotify the notifications wouldn't work. [20:16] n #windows-ru [20:16] i've got a prob here [20:16] @Wyn Got Shorewall dir [20:17] GaryD: then libnotify should be installed instead of xfce4-notify? === Acwb is now known as Acwb_ === Acwb_ is now known as Acwb [20:17] sima can u help me [20:17] !ask | mohamed [20:17] mohamed: 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. :-) [20:17] or perhaps notification daemon? [20:17] Hydrogoo: what files cant you find ? [20:17] thanks sam [20:17] ok sorry for that ubottu [20:18] GaryD: Worked like a charm. I have everything back now. Thanks again. [20:18] mohamed: ubottu is a channel bot [20:18] it's my lap top it's hanging i don't know why [20:18] i know [20:18] what's the difference betwen libnotify and notification-daemon? should both be installed === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [20:18] just apologize for u all [20:18] mohamed: so your just really polite ? cool [20:18] Wyn: This dir should have some files that are needed to be copied to the shorewall folder /usr/share/doc/shorewall-common/examples/one-interface/* [20:18] Can't find this folder tho [20:19] magicianlord: libnotify is used to send notifications, notification-daemon receives messages sent by libnotify [20:19] Hydrogoo: version of ubuntu you are using please ? [20:19] so how i can check my system on ubuntu10.10 [20:19] sam-_-_, i tried to install the script the automaticly give you, and with all the permissions, and i load firefox again with that page and it says that i have to download again. im guessing and because im using x64 ... it dosent work for x64 [20:19] trism: are both needed [20:19] 10.10 server [20:19] I would like to purchase more memory for one of my computers. Is there a utility that will tell me what type of memory is installed in the machine? [20:20] magicianlord: but we use notify-osd to receive notifications by default, so you probably don't need notification-daemon unless you want to try a different one [20:20] sam u still there [20:20] Sean93: I don't know if it will work, but wget supports ftp downloading. It also supports continuing a download that gets cut off. It uses this form from the manpage: wget -c ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/ls-lR.Z You'll have to tailor that to suit your needs (no pun intended) [20:20] saykou go to about:plugins in you browser [20:20] nirazio: lshw [20:20] saykou is veetle listed there= [20:21] magicianlord: you should not need xfce4-notifyd unless you are on xubuntu. i am running lubuntu and all i have installed is notification-daemon. on ubuntu i would install notify-osd and there is a ppa with a program to customize notify-osd. [20:21] any programmer here can help me ? [20:21] GaryD: do i need libnotify if i have notif-daemon installed [20:21] sam-_-_ nope [20:22] is there any programmer here ? [20:22] magicianlord: you will need libnotify for xchat to send on screen messages, yes. [20:23] looks like there's no one [20:23] Hydrogoo: cant find them on the file list, try ls /usr/share/doc/shorewall then tab and see if you can locate it then check the shorewall folders for the example folder or grep inside it [20:23] GaryD: what if i dont use xchat. what else uses libnotify [20:23] mohamed: hanging how ? [20:23] no more [20:23] thanks [20:23] saykou, do you use firefox? [20:23] GaryD, it needed xchat-indicator in earlier versions of xchat (well for me anyway)... just in case anyone is using older version [20:24] sam-_-_ yes [20:24] Can anyone recommend a free online storage website === kirkmoreno is now known as Bboy [20:24] U1 [20:25] magicianlord: I made that work with irssi, I found a script on the net to get started, and made it work for me. That os load is history now though, but it is possible. [20:25] how can i changemy name in xchat ? [20:25] Wyn: Found the directories I need, they have changed since the release of that tutorial [20:25] Thanks for the help [20:25] kirkmoreno ubuntu 1 [20:25] Hydrogoo: np === mohamed is now known as Agent090 [20:25] thanks [20:25] saykou, you may need to install the 32-bit version of firefox if veetle is a 32-bit plugin [20:26] sam-_-_ how does one do that' [20:26] ? [20:26] what kind of linux is the best ever ? [20:26] greezmunkey: i just want plug in and out plugging usb notifications and battery [20:26] in openbox [20:26] Agent090: is that a trick qeustion ?

[20:26] magicianlord: things like the vlc-plugin-notify, osmo, evolution, empathy, nautilus, rhythmbox, gnome-mplayer, as wewll as many other programs and libraries. [20:26] Agent090: do you know what channel your in mohamed ? [20:27] no [20:27] Hey #ubuntu [20:27] when I try to install it I get an error saying it is 32 bit and it won't go any farther in the install process.

[20:27] * Wyn note to self, dont feed the troll [20:28] magicianlord: also, i assume you aren't running straight ubuntu?

[21:21] try clicking on network, open a floder and click on it it should show up uni net [21:21] !netsplit [21:21] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show.

[21:23] hansw: no prob but also no offical support [21:23] Wyn, no problem, used to compile my own kernels [21:23] Does anyone know how to allow media sharing on Ubuntu? [21:23] hansw: cool [21:24] wyn: grub is fraked, just boots up to a screen saying the drive isnt found and a grub rescue prompt [21:24] ryno1: setup smb to the media folder ? [21:24] Wyn, mostly nasty :-) I wanted usb support years back, ac patches provided them [21:24] sayres, not that I know of.......if you dont want panels, then it would be logical to just remove the package [21:24] hansw: hah, the bad old days [21:24] mongy: that would be not good :D === jeanne is now known as Guest94657 [21:25] wyn: i tried reinstalling ubuntu and running rescatux, no dice [21:25] Wyn, why? he doesnt want panels. it doesnt remove anything critical [21:25] nyu: when you boot to grub boot screen try editing the boot line and adjusting the drive, it could be it is not mounting, its not connected / hardware problem or it has the wrong path / name [21:26] sayres, try just setting it to autohide if you dont want to remove it [21:26] nyu: if you have a live disk use that to chck the correct grub config [21:26] Wyn: Will this work with PS3? [21:26] mongy: tanks [21:26] ryno1: will what work with what ? [21:27] why cant i run a script having iptables in it ?IPT=/sbin/iptables says command not found. altho the location is correct. the script is 755 and run with sudo. [21:27] wyn: i can boot the drive with super grub disk. im not sure what i need to change in the grub config or how to do so [21:27] mongy: the panels are useful, they also run the network manager icon, if he has a gui he will realise just how much he needs them if not then yes, remove them and x [21:28] nyu: if you have a live disk, when you boot into it you can then check the drive path and name by cat'ing fstab [21:28] Wyn: I want to access my computer's media through my PS3 [21:28] Wyn, he/she does not want any panels... go figure.

[21:33] mongy, I have not [21:33] It does however dissipate after 5 minutes and then stops completely [21:33] Gnimsh, might be an issue with the cable [21:33] N2Deep: right clic>remove¿¿ [21:33] It also happens randomly [21:34] no cable, it's a laptop [21:34] Gnimsh, what video chip [21:34] It doesn't happen every time i start the laptop [21:34] ati mobile radion [21:34] xangua: thank you [21:34] Gnimsh, y. sure. the internal cable then [21:34] JCode: system , preferences , appearance - try changing it [21:34] Gnimsh, tried windows to make sure? [21:34] no cable its a laptop, wonderful [21:35] there is a cable attaching the board to the lcd panel :) [21:35] bla [21:35] Is there an alternative to the default Ubuntu screen locking program? Or any way to add things to it to add security, like a mouse gesture type thing? [21:35] mongy yes it doesn't seem to happen in windows, though I've run it only twice in the last month [21:36] Wyn, i recently changed my monitor into 32inch i used to have 17inchs would that matter might it be X problem, and if yes i tried to change the resolution and i cant set it higher than 800x600 [21:36] Gnimsh, well you need to determine if its hardware or linux.... so run windows for a while. [21:36] I dislike that option. [21:36] I think I'll start with compiz [21:36] CkhiKuzad: I use bluelock, locks my screen when i walk more then two meteres away [21:36] Gnimsh, tbh, I had a similar issue with my screen...it went 'weird' after being powered on for more than 30mins or so....it was hardware issue [21:36] Is there any application like bootcamp for ubuntu.So that we can easily boot into windows...

[21:42] "google is your friend" = the RTFM [21:42] JCode: if you can not adjust your screen size your x-config is wrong, if you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and get no print out then x is broken [21:42] Wyn: yes i found all the info about routing, but i don't know what difference it makes on the computer level [21:42] viator: not in this case, there are lots of info and training sites on it, to large a subject for quick IRC chat [21:42] i don't know how to tell which one is the refresh rate [21:42] pinkisntwell: I'm not an expert on routing, but as I understand it, the network mask divides a network into a subnetwork [21:42] pinkisntwell: your question will me more on topic in ##networking [21:42] Wyn, so you think i have to remove and install again the xorg, or install the whole system all over === londonmet050_ is now known as londonmet050 [21:44] ;) [21:44] Gnimsh: k. ati isn't my preferred card choice.. I really don't know much about how to configure it.. xrandr handles the configuration for resolution and refresh rate.. if the refresh is close but not correct the card might be trying to compensate.. if it's a separate card and not built into the motherboard then it might be worth the effort to pull it out and put it back to reseat it.. just shooting in the dark here.

[23:14] toolboc go ahead [23:14] so sense I can't break anything more what fun can I have with this [23:14] i have a thems question [23:14] Got a problem with my wifi: Network-manager (or at least nm-applet) insists "device not ready". [23:14] there's no magnifier in ubuntu [23:14] I think I found out why truecrypt wouldn't run [23:14] Hey I just install experimental Ubuntu Linux 10.10 now my keyboard inputs data in Mandarin Chinese and won't let me text in English and I live in the USA so what do I do now ? [23:14] I shared folders using the right-click gui method and have shares that I don't want to share anymore [23:14] missing dependencies [23:14] narayan44: I have a complete embedded system here, but now I've seen this I'm sure I will buy a dev board. It's nice to play with. [23:15] /etc/samba/smb.conf does not list any shares [23:15] however I see them when I browse the Network on another computer [23:15] toolboc would you mind just typign everything into a single post? [23:15] sorry [23:15] Caelum: A screen magnifier? I think there is... *checks* yes, the gnome-mag package. [23:15] compiz has a better magnifier [23:15] Caelum: Not by default, but it's there. kmag if you're using kubuntu, though. [23:16] Darael: oh nice, thank you [23:16] I shared folders using the right-click gui method and have shares that I don't want to share anymore and /etc/samba/smb.conf does not list any shares. However, however I see them when I browse the Network on another computer [23:16] Where is the list of all shared folders in Ubuntu? [23:17] Caelum: I believe Orca, which /is/ installed by default, does magnification too, but ICBW. [23:17] Hehe.. installing the restricted package. Question with a select box: "Do you accept the EULA license terms?" for the windows fonts.. But it's a bit odd, do I have to select the question? ;) [23:17] BernardV: That's a UI bug in my book. I should file it, if I were you. Not quite sure which package you file it against, though. [23:18] hi, how can i partition my new hdd in ubuntu? i also use this hdd for windows and it is ntfs now. i remember gparted being used for this but i need the up-to-date tool and preferrably a good ui [23:18] Darael: I'm fairly new to Ubuntu (mostly debian console only) so I wouldn't even know where to file it. [23:18] Are there any drivers for those little micro USB bluetooth dongles that anyone knows of? [23:19] I put "user ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in /etc/sudoers but sudo still asks me for password [23:19] BernardV: Ah. http://launchpad.net is the place you want, but I'll do it later. [23:19] woot a whole 7% [23:19] 1 hour 17m left [23:19] hello everyone, does anyone know of a good program for managing ipod touch? In addition i can't mount the drive-any sugestions? [23:19] ok.. thnx Darael for the link and for doing it later ;) [23:19] ubnoob have you tried GTKpod? [23:20] ubnoob: gtkpod [23:20] one second pls let me check which program i have. [23:20] ubnoob hold down the home button for 30 seconds and on button [23:20] than let go of home and allow to turn on [23:20] nikre: if you install the package "gparted" you get a partition editor, or I believe system->administration->disk utility will let you do basic foratting. [23:21] Can someone tell me what's wrong here?? http://gyazo.com/1470168f5b91cc3991df0426c5001807.png [23:21] yes i have that downloaded but i can't mount the drive [23:21] ubnoob is the device on when plugged in? [23:21] ubnoob: you need ifuse to mount [23:21] yes its on [23:22] ubnoob: go to #gtkpod [23:22] ifuse??? is that in the package manager? === mrstocks is now known as LSD-70 [23:22] well i'm going to leave as I wait [23:22] ubnoob: yes it is [23:22] Got a problem with my wifi; nm-applet insists "device not ready". [23:22] What file gets updated, when you share a folder using the gui? === Tesa2 is now known as Tesa1 [23:23] test [23:24] toolboc: /etc/smb.conf IIRC. === LSD-70 is now known as LSD-26| [23:24] I was currently running Windows 7, downloaded and installed Ubuntu 10.10 fell in love with it. Would like some help now removing Windows 7 from the hard drive [23:24] could someone please help? === LSD-26| is now known as drugs [23:24] wow I'm impressed. The geode even runs movieplayer with a MP3 stream [23:24] leslie: Do you still have a live CD? [23:24] Yes [23:25] Darael: Thanks, however, I checked there and there is no shares listed in there, yet I see them when I browse the network [23:25] toolboc: Yeah, I realised a moment ago that there must be a per-user file as well. Not sure what, though. [23:25] leslie: You'll need to load it if you want to reclaim the Win7 space - we need to do things to your hard drive. [23:26] Darael: weird, it says I have gnome-mag installed but I don't see it in the applications menu anywhere === drugs is now known as mrstocks [23:26] Would I just simply run a new install with the LiveCD and run the install as whole disk [23:26] i installed ifuse but i still get this message "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus" [23:26] leslie, if u have a usb drive, download the software to the usb drive and boot from the usb, click install, and to use the entire hardrive. the option is right there. [23:26] ubnoob: you use ifuse to mount the ipod [23:26] ubnoob: ifuse [23:26] leslie: That would work. You would lose any files you had on there, though. If that's OK by you, go ahead, but otherwise we can remove the Win7 sections without harming your Ubuntu install. [23:27] oh..let me try [23:27] sorry if this is repeated but I lost my internet connection, What are the requirements to join the Ubuntu Memebers Group? [23:27] leslie, run palimpsest. delete the partition [23:27] Darael : That would be very nice due to the fact that I've been busy downloading and installing all sorts of software [23:27] ubnoob: make an empty directory as a mount point [23:27] sam-_-_: That may let one delete the partition but it won't reclaim the space. [23:28] nautilus on my client keeps crashing when moving files to the server [23:28] i don't know how to do that. [23:28] leslie: Right. You'll need to run your live-cd and go to system->administration->gparted partition editor. [23:28] ubnoob: mkdir foo; ifuse foo # done [23:29] And the partition editor will allow me to format the win 7 partition as well as reclaim the memory of that partition right ? [23:29] leslie: Basically, yes. You'll need to remove any partitions formatted as NTFS, then you can expand the existing partitions to fill the freed space. [23:30] i get this message in the terminal "GNUTLS ERROR: A TLS fatal alert has been received. [23:30] " [23:30] leslie: The partition editor will not format the partition, only define what type it is [23:30] ubnoob: what does that have to do with anything [23:30] BernardV: Gparted acts as a frontend to the various mkfs tools as well, so it actually /will/ format it. [23:30] darael : thank you so much. if I run into anymore probelms I will be bacl [23:30] Plop [23:30] correction: back [23:31] vous avez quoi en uname -r ? [23:31] i don't know what to do to get it to mount, so i don't know if i did it wrong [23:31] !fr | MaJaX_ [23:31] MaJaX_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [23:31] Ah ok.. sorry.. was thinking of (c)fdisk etc... don't mind me.. will be quiet ;) [23:32] No problem. Easy to miss that I'd directed leslie to gparted, after all. [23:32] * Caelum waves to Khisanth [23:32] my sound stopped working after a powercut on maverick - acer revo r3610. I've booted into a live image and it still doesn't work... but it works fine on the other OS (xbmc live) installed on the same machine! any ideas? [23:32] hi :) [23:32] What are the requirements to join the ubuntu members group? [23:33] Got a problem with my wifi; nm-applet insists the device is not ready. Card is a Realtek RTL8191SEvB. Wicd works fine but I need to test nm. [23:34] For the record, it has to do with Ubuntu's bastardization of Samba through a package called nautilus-share [23:34] toolboc: Will remember that. [23:34] Thnx toolboc for pointing that. [23:35] not sure why ALL forum posts deal with /etc/samba/smb.conf which is does not use [23:35] Caelum: I tried to mount but it don't work, what do you think i should do? [23:35] ubnoob: go to #gtkpod, they will help you [23:36] ok, thanks [23:36] Darael: What happens if you remove and reload the module for the realtek ? [23:37] nabend [23:37] wie kann ich ubuntu (10.04) im safe mode starten? [23:37] avond moep2 [23:37] BernardV: No change. === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [23:38] !de |moep2 [23:38] moep2: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [23:38] ehm, how to start ubuntu 10.04 in safe mode? [23:38] what should i do if i forgot my password ? [23:38] BernardV: Well, strictly speaking that's not true - I get dropouts after which it refuses to connect to anything, and reloading the module is a temporary fix for that, but it doesn't affect nm. [23:39] mohamed: boot to a live cd or recovery mode and change it [23:39] moep2, append "single" to the boot command [23:39] moep2: After your BIOS diagnostic screen, hold shift. You should get a grub menu. You can choose safe mode from that. [23:39] ok, thx [23:40] moep2: Sorry, that's recovery mode. Safe mode doesn't exist, though there's safe graphics mode available from the login screen. I think. [23:40] Darael: When searching google I see posts about dropping connections for that realtek, it's not the same problem.. but what I could find in this short time is 2.6.36... [23:41] hey peeps :), if I copied an existing hdd ubuntu install to a usb drive, would it work? === mrec_ is now known as mrec [23:41] i am trying to setup dual displays with different resolutions using the ati catalyst drivers can someone help [23:42] bencahill, if you do it right. yes. [23:42] BernardV: Yeah, I too was only able to find the connection-drop problem. Guess I'll try a different kernel and see if it works. [23:42] sam-_-_: do you have any tips? [23:42] bencahill, you may need to install grub on the usb drive [23:42] sam-_-_: I'll use the existing grub on the hdd to boot the usb [23:43] Darael, ehm, i want to start only a shell without any graphicdriver. [23:43] bencahill, oh ok. then just make sure the permissions are being kept the same [23:43] moep2: text as boot option [23:44] Darael: Maybe this one: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true [23:44] sam-_-_: could I just use a cp while in the existing hdd, or would I need to use a boot cd? [23:44] make and the remove/add the module [23:44] moep2: You probably do want the recovery mode, then. [23:44] *then [23:44] hi all [23:44] how do i force the restricted drivers pop-up to show up again [23:44] bencahill, yes you could but don't copy dirs like dev or sys [23:44] BernardV: I'll give it a go. I'm loath to do it, though. And it does seem odd that wicd manages it just fine. [23:44] okey, i try [23:44] i accidentlly closed it and i want to install the restricted drivers [23:45] hector: use the System -> Admin -> hardware drivers item [23:45] sam-_-_: ok, will it work without those? [23:45] hector: system->administration->Additional Drivers === Sary is now known as Guest57791 [23:45] hello friends [23:45] ty [23:45] bencahill, just create and empty dev/sys dir and [23:45] hector: The specific name of the option will depend on your release - it used to be "hardware drivers" as ActionParsnip said. [23:45] Next release it'll be Restricted Drivers again, just to confuse people [23:45] bencahill, you will be fine [23:46] Darael: http://blog.debit.nl/dareal.txt (this is a copy of the post) [23:46] hi, is there any way I can set up Evolution to work with a Hotmail account? [23:46] i am on 10.04 [23:46] sam-_-_: ok i gtg, bbl, thx! [23:46] i used the default values and tried an online guide, but it never updated and the account didn't appear in the left pane. [23:46] Cheers, BernardV. [23:46] Delo_, yeah, plenty of guides online [23:46] That about wicd is true... [23:46] hector: System > admin > hardware drivers [23:46] is there a link on what i need to do to update to 10.10 [23:46] Delo_: http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/ubuntu-10-4-lucid-configuring-evolution-to-connect-to-hotmail-windows-live-mail/ [23:46] !upgrade > hector [23:46] hector, please see my private message [23:46] Delo_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingHotmailWithEvolution [23:47] Does anyone of you have resolved the issue in UNE with the battery? because my machine goes to hibernate very often by saying that the battery is extremely low...when it's nos true [23:47] does that upgrade path work for the Netbook Version ? [23:47] BernardV: The linked driver appears to be for the USB version of the card? At least, it has USB as a name-section and PCI is lacking. [23:47] any one know about python compilier [23:48] or will i loose netbook features [23:48] hector: yes it works [23:48] Where are all the audio specialists? This is doing my head in! [23:48] !install > malik_ [23:49] mohamed: Python is an interpreted language. While you can probably compile it, you're not really meant to. The #python folks can probably help you best. [23:49] is ati radeon hd 5xxx supported yet with ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 ? [23:49] I have an old Ubuntu LAMP server. I'd like to move the webpage over to a newer Ubuntu server and I'm wondering what the easiest way to backup and restore the webpage would be? Or just the easiest way to transfer the settings to a new server. [23:49] !ati > White-Horse [23:49] White-Horse, please see my private message [23:49] nirazio: wget [23:49] Do i need to do anything to sda2 before I partition it? [23:49] nirazio: or are you talking aobut mirroring thepackages installed on the new server? [23:50] nirazio: why dont you ALREADY have a backup!? [23:50] nirazio: If you've got both up, then you can use rsync to make the whole site the same. [23:50] knoppix: what are you tyring to do? [23:50] knoppix, sda2 is a partition [23:50] hey, quick question. I'm ssh'd into a ubuntu machine from putty on windows and trying to start empathy on the remote ubuntu machine, but i keep getting a display error. What am i doing wrong? [23:50] Darael: You could try the SEvA2 [23:51] histo, I want to install 10.04 [23:51] Bennis: if you want empathy to run on the remote display, prepend "DISPLAY=:0" (no quotes) to the command. If you want it displaying locally you'll need an X server on your Windows box. [23:51] I've compiled a library that I need to use to compile some more stuff... where should I put it (I'm guessing /usr/something)? or rather, is there some special thing I can do to "register" it somewhere? [23:51] knoppix: okay on /dev/sda2? [23:51] histo, i am using g-parted to do this. [23:51] excellent, thanks :D [23:51] Bennis: There should have been a space on the end of that DISPLAY line. Whoops. [23:51] knoppix: okay well if you have /dev/sda2 that means you already have a partition there. [23:52] histo, i want to partition sda2 1 more time to make unallocated space [23:52] knoppix, sda is a HDD sda2 is the second partition on that drive [23:52] knoppix : sda2 is partition so mark it as ext4 and make it root / if you want to install ubuntu on one partition [23:52] histo, do i need to do anything inparticular before i partition sda2? [23:52] knoppix: you want ot resize /dev/sda2 then tomake free psace [23:52] knoppix: you don't paritition sda2 you partition sda [23:52] knoppix: I think you are getting confused [23:53] knoppix, you might want to think about having multiple partitions for Ubuntu (sda2=/, sda3=/home) [23:53] how can i write a path to the env varibales instead of typing export in each session ? [23:54] Does anyone of you have resolved the issue in UNE with the battery? because my machine goes to hibernate very often by saying that the battery is extremely low...when it's nos true [23:54] nullkuhl: add to the ~/.bashrc to add to path [23:54] histo, i would like to make free space from sda2. === Lenin_Cat is now known as LENIN_CAT [23:54] anyone know if anyone good games that run on Ubuntu [23:54] nullkuhl: add: export PATH=$PATH:/new/path to add /new/path to PATH [23:55] reaper_, yes... check out the humble indie bundle for a start [23:55] knoppix . do you try to shrink sda2 or expand it? [23:55] the msg that ubottu gave is very out dated has anyone tried the ATI HD Radeon 5xxx ? [23:55] ActionParsni thanks [23:55] zvacet, shrink it using g-parted [23:55] reaper_, prey, savage2 [23:55] Darael: nvm the va2 [23:56] In the spanish post it says you need to use the 8192SE driver [23:56] knoppix : so do it and you can leave unallocated space and on it install ubuntu [23:56] its been 1 and 1/2 years since the last update ati made for there cards with linux [23:56] guys, i still cant get the interactive globe to work as desktop, as soon as I select "globe" in the dropdown in the desktop options, KDE just freezes [23:57] Good evening everybody. [23:57] any ideas how to fix it? [23:57] White-Horse: it's supported by the proprietary driver, just as it was last year, so its still valid [23:57] I would like to know how to install Virtualbox on a Ubuntu/10.04 host. [23:57] Darael: From another source "Actually, it seems neither the 8191SE-VA2 or RTL8191SU are correct, but rather the RTL8192SE." [23:57] zvacet, what i was asking before was, is there anything i need to do before i shrink sda2? [23:57] Currently-- it is impossible. [23:57] BernardV: Understood. Just been browsing daemon.log, looks like NM is having trouble reading the card's MAC address. Wonder why.... [23:57] White-Horse: the hardware driver applet installs the driver, just like it says, just like it did 1.5 years ago [23:57] last year only ATI HD Radeon 4xxx was supported [23:57] knoppix: what is on it Windows or something else [23:58] White-Horse: its supported now [23:58] BernardV: The VA2 link appears to give me the 8192SE driver package anyway. [23:58] zvacet, yes XP sp2 [23:58] zvacet, on sda1 [23:58] Darael: ok. But not reading the MAC is ..... weird [23:58] White-Horse: just because a document isnt as erecent as your tastes would like doesn't mean it doesnt stil apply [23:58] thanks ActionParsnip [23:58] knoppix: but nothing on sda2 ? [23:59] BernardV: I know. But: NetworkManager[7106]: [1292800012.541448] [nm-device-wifi.c:3095] real_update_permanent_hw_address(): (wlan0): unable to read permanent MAC address (error 0) [23:59] White-Horse: look at the text, rather than homing in on the editted date first, you'll be fine [23:59] knoppix: or you are trying to shrink sda1 to make room for sda2 [23:59] zvacet, i have ubuntu 10.04 on there. boot loader is corrupt and i dont know how to fix it. So i would like to make unallocated space from sda2
