[00:00] dnivra, EXT3 [00:00] dnivra, so that shouldn't matter [00:00] aj00200: f-spot is nice ;) [00:00] dnivra, right? [00:00] @orangefly .. normal in your haddrive folder - "host" [00:00] ShapeShifter499, okay you can retain that i guess. ext4 is the latest and is used in ubuntu. but your choice. i'm pretty sure /home won't be affected [00:00] VCoolio: aeon-ltd thanks guys, I'm downloading lubuntu at the moment [00:00] ShapeShifter499, backing up is what everybody would recommend. just in case :) [00:00] Jezek, So on what screen you're at frozen . [00:01] dw-: I know, although I generally do prefer GIMP. I really like FSpots tag feature [00:01] on that harddrive where your windows is still installed [00:01] Is there a way to convert the Ubuntu version you are on to 64bit with out reinstalling? [00:01] Sary: im frozen on "preparing to install ubuntu" [00:01] Subvert3r, not sure what you mean.... [00:01] Tito0096_, you're currently on a 32 bit version? [00:01] yeah [00:01] Tito0096_: no, if you're using 32bit you have to reinstall to get 64bit.. [00:01] damn [00:01] lol [00:01] Tito0096_, no luck mate you have to reinstall-it has to reinstall the whole kernel and stuff. [00:01] Tito0096_, why do you want to use 64bit? [00:01] k thanks [00:02] :/ [00:02] i need it to builf [00:02] build ubuntu [00:02] hmm [00:02] dnivra, ok thanks [00:02] for the cr-48 [00:02] Jezek, give it some time . [00:02] Tito0096_, oh okay i see. i thought it might be for using whole of RAM. [00:02] I am using Samba (and xmsbrowser). I see the networks but I can't access my windows network. [00:02] ShapeShifter499, no problem :). [00:02] Sary: ok i will wait a bit [00:02] so i'm trying to install 'awesome' via apt-get but it says it has a bunch of dependencies, even running sudo apt-get -f install awesome reiterates the error. any help? [00:02] @orangefly : if you go to your Harddrive, there must be all drives, there ("Datasystem") and after that look for the folder "Host" [00:02] dnivra nope, just 2gmb here [00:02] gb* [00:03] Tito0096_, ahhh okay. you're remastering ubuntu. am i right? [00:03] yeah [00:03] Jezek, Alright , feedback to us. good luck [00:03] Subvert3r, network shares....sorry....i should have been clear.... [00:03] Tito0096_, you could do that without removing your current version i guess. [00:04] hmm [00:04] then i would have to DL everything I need all over [00:04] lol [00:04] Tito0096_, oh wait building it from scratch for a specific hardware is what you are doing? [00:04] dnivra [00:04] no chromion OS repo [00:04] takes forever [00:04] to sync [00:04] and i came to the next step [00:04] and it said i needed 64biy [00:04] :( [00:04] lol [00:05] trying to get Ubuntu on my CR-48 for more capability [00:05] isnt 64bit kind of broken without flash player? [00:05] :O [00:05] I am using Samba (and xmsbrowser). I see the networks. But I can't access my windows network folders. They have sharing on. [00:05] Tito0096_, i see. well you have virtualizers such as Virtual Box. if you do not want to delete current install, you could try that. === Sir_Konrad_ is now known as Sir_Konrad [00:06] yeah i was thinking that [00:06] since I am already settled in [00:06] magicianlord, nope there is a 64 bit beta version of adobe it works fine for me. [00:06] but the Ubuntu for the CR-48 uses 32 bit [00:06] the beta version of flash has been dropped [00:06] dnivra: link? [00:06] so i can still use flash [00:06] for 64bit use the 32bit with a wrapper [00:06] magicianlord, gnash and swf player have 64bit versions too. === {} is now known as derp [00:06] gnash is also dead [00:06] hmm [00:06] dnivra: are those the poorman's versions that dont really work [00:07] Livin4Jesus, ohai. [00:07] ikonia: swfdec even more so [00:07] i can't start ubuntu without it crashing unless i start it in recovery mode [00:07] and then i just select start as normal [00:07] magicianlord, i've not tried it out so no comments :) [00:07] and then it works [00:08] hey, can anyone help a Nuubuntu user with hdmi support issues? [00:08] Has anyone figured out a fix for the ALPS/Synaptics touchpad in the HP Mini 311-1000? [00:09] I am using Samba (and xmsbrowser). I see the networks. But I can't access my windows(7) network folders. They have sharing on. [00:09] Sary: it still hasn't gotten past that screen [00:09] so i'm trying to install 'awesome' via apt-get but it says it has a bunch of dependencies, even running sudo apt-get -f install awesome reiterates the error. any help? [00:09] sudo apt-get [00:10] it's being run with sudo [00:10] might need some kungfu [00:10] my kungfu is weak :( [00:10] ikonia: they dropped 64bit flash *again*? [00:10] jrib: yes, its gone [00:10] yay [00:10] hilarious. [00:10] jrib: didn't know they had brought it back...but yes, it's gone [00:10] Sary: any other options i can try [00:10] there is no support 64bit flash [00:11] idiots [00:11] 64bit flash is too hard for adobe to program [00:11] magicianlord: nonsense [00:11] hello [00:11] the increase of ram in computers will lead to 64bit only operating systems [00:11] i'm first in this place [00:11] ikonia, magicianlord: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/ [00:12] eventually to 128bit *dare to dream* [00:12] boo [00:12] you scared me [00:12] wow jrib [00:12] so 64bit flash is in the ubutnu repos now? [00:12] magicianlord: no it's not [00:12] hi [00:12] magicianlord: no, pretty sure in ubuntu repos you'll get 32-bit wrapper [00:13] after clicking forward on "preparing to install" screen, it shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes should it? [00:13] jrib: adobe need to get their life in order as they announced it was dead again [00:13] badabada: Hi. [00:13] I'm having slow DNS resolution issues in ubuntu but not on Windows [00:13] why can that be? [00:13] when accessing network shares, what does "Failed to retrieve share list from server" mean....???.... [00:13] hi System_Default_0 [00:13] badabada: what DNS servers are you usig [00:13] differnet dns servers [00:13] goodtime: my kungfu is strong :) [00:13] the ones from my ISP [00:13] How do I install the latest version of Adobe Flash? [00:13] they work correctly, since I have no problem on windows [00:13] anon33_: do you have a question or are you just waffling about kung fu [00:13] badabada: how are you testing ? [00:13] Jezek, there are other boot options .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [00:13] jrib: or they dont have it in the repos at all [00:14] magicianlord: they do [00:14] ikonia: i had a question that i asked 4 times that was never answered [00:14] but somehow under both knoppix live CD and xubuntu they're very slow [00:14] Sary: should i try each one seperately? [00:14] they do? didnt know that [00:14] sup nubs [00:14] ikonia, duh, I'm trying in both OSs [00:14] i have to go. goodnight [00:14] anon33_: ok, so wait for a response rather than waffling about kung fu [00:14] switching OSs and trying [00:14] goodnight [00:14] magicianlord: it should even be integrated with ubuntu's firefox add-on so you can click on the informative yellow bar and just keep clicking away to install flash through the repositories [00:14] badabada: duh...I asked how you tested the DNS [00:15] jrib: <-- magicianlord has left this server (Quit: leaving). [00:15] by browsing the internet [00:15] * jrib nods at Livin4Jesus [00:15] :P [00:15] it takes like 30 seconds to get past the step of Resolving... [00:15] in google chrome [00:15] :P [00:15] Livin4Jesus: sometimes you type something out and enter is closer than ctrl-u :) [00:15] badabada: ok, so that's not really a dns server test [00:15] Dwade09: as far as i can see you cannot install a video card so you could have dual but that is the best you will get but that is pretty good if you can install video go for it [00:15] close [00:15] badabada: use nslookup and dig and see how they respond on the command line [00:15] obviously it's not [00:15] ok [00:16] let¡s see [00:16] badabada: right, so if it's obviously not a test, why are you using it s a test [00:16] because I don't need a test to see that it's a DNS problem [00:16] so nobody on wtih ltsp experience [00:16] badabada: clearly you do [00:16] when it's THAT obvious [00:16] I'm having issues with my Skype.. it makes like its signing me in and that's all it does. Only in the process and not doing anything else. [00:16] Jezek, Yes , but before going into that .. Jezek, did you burned the iso with a slow speed .. also , have you checksum the iso before burning [00:16] badabada: it's not obvious [00:16] omg [00:16] ok [00:17] hmmm [00:17] badabada: as it's clearly obvious - I'll let you get on with fixing it [00:17] Sary: the installation worked before so i don't think it could be the dvd [00:17] but how do i check the checksum [00:17] yeah you are right [00:17] lol [00:17] i could try [00:17] Jezek | MD5SUMS [00:17] apparently they work fine [00:17] with nslookup [00:17] can anyone help me install drivers for ra3370 wireless network adapter in ubuntu 10.10? [00:17] Jezek, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [00:17] im part way there, but now im stuck [00:17] badabada: good luck fixing it, it's "clearly" and DNS problem as you so smugly told me [00:17] Uhm, any idea how I fix it? [00:17] no, sorry [00:18] you were right [00:18] Is there a way to encrypt the home directory of user? [00:18] I can't understand how it isn't a dns problem though, but you were right [00:18] badabada: I know I was, but you clerly no better "omg" "clearly a dns issue" "I don't need to test" etc [00:18] * Livin4Jesus doesn't know how to run .run files D: [00:18] yeah I was SO sure [00:18] anon33_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=960841 [00:18] Sary: is this the same as check disc for defects [00:18] but now I see that I was even more wrong [00:18] Livin4Jesus: they are executable, run them [00:18] Where do I get Adobe Flash player 10 for linux? [00:18] Livin4Jesus: if they are not executable, make them exectuable, and run them [00:19] K. [00:19] Livin4Jesus: Generally you shouldn't. What are you actually trying to install? [00:19] Livin4Jesus: probably chmod +x file.run and then ./file.run [00:19] Jordan_U: a better comment, kudos [00:19] ikonia [00:19] Jezek, it's a check but in different process .. [00:20] can I paste command line output here? it's 8 lines [00:20] Jezek: every ubuntu iso has a md5sum recorded you run the md5sum program on the iso to check to make sure it downloaded properly if the two sets of digits match up your good to go [00:20] badabada: I'm not interested [00:20] badabada: please don't flood the channel, use a pastebin [00:20] ok [00:20] the thing is that I get the correct ip for an address under the tag "non-authoritative answer" [00:21] ikonia: yes, there's an option at install time (and afterwards I *think* it's enough to install ecryptfs-utils and maybe read its documentatio) [00:21] is that something relevant? [00:21] badabada: not interested [00:21] the first IP I get is my own LAN ip address [00:21] Is there any way for me to fix skype? Its only in the process of signing in and not doing anything else. [00:21] why not [00:21] OK, I tried running NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.19-pkg1.run, but when I do, it says "ERROR: nvidia-installer must be run as root". :? [00:21] *:/ [00:21] badabada: because I don't appreciate your attitude when I was trying to help you [00:21] !nvidia | Livin4Jesus [00:21] Livin4Jesus: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:21] Livin4Jesus: sudo ./file.rin [00:21] *run [00:21] Livin4Jesus: don't run that [00:22] ikonia sorry [00:22] suo try sudo ./nvidia..... [00:22] Livin4Jesus: why are you not using the drivers provided by the ubuntu driver manager ? [00:22] the thing is that I have a huge headache with this and i was so sure that it was a dns problem [00:22] or sudo sh ./nv..... [00:22] Livin4Jesus: you should use Restricted Drivers Manager instead of that file (see ubottu's link) [00:22] now I feel like an idiot but well [00:23] Livin4Jesus: why are you not using the drivers provided by the ubuntu driver manager ? <---- I don't see a Restricted Drivers Manager option... :/ [00:23] ikonia: It's called Additional Hardware now or something. Stupid thing changes name every release. [00:23] Livin4Jesus: System > Administration > Additional Drivers [00:23] Livin4Jesus: it's called hardware drivers [00:23] ikonia: nvm, misread, Livin4Jesus said that :\ [00:24] Livin4Jesus: ubottu's link has the name for all ubuntu releases [00:24] Can anyone help with home-directory encryption? [00:24] ikonia can you forgive me? [00:25] im having a startx problem with backtrack4 i realize this is an ubuntu channel just hoping someone can help me out [00:25] ikonia: Livin4Jesus is trying to fix a problem with 10.10 and nvidia [00:25] bigzed: did you see what I said? [00:25] !backtrack | aerosolapple [00:25] aerosolapple: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [00:25] !backtrack | aerosolapple [00:25] aerosolapple: no, you should use the #backtrack-linux channel [00:26] i already did to no avail but thank you anyways [00:26] anyone uses auto hide feature of the bottom pannel? [00:26] jrib: oh, thank you [00:26] ok [00:26] with firefox ? [00:26] aerosolapple: you've not as I've not seen you ask in that channel [00:26] well there is a problem [00:26] ikonia: the introduction of xorg 1.9 has caused the nvidia drivers to fail for older graphics cards / chips [00:26] Can anyone help me with this? [00:27] can someone help me sync thunderbird to dual boot on ubuntu and windows 7 [00:27] if your pannel is not yet hidden and you scroll down your firefox, text will be unreadable [00:27] bigzed: useful documentation for packages is found at /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE_NAME/Readme.Debian usually [00:27] can anyone test it? [00:27] ikonia: eariler this morning yes. but i realize asking the same question multiple times tends to annoy people [00:27] is that a somekind of bug? [00:27] aerosolapple: you don't show up in my logs for the whole week [00:27] Livin4Jesus: there are instructions for installing the package you downloaded...running from root...using runlevel 3...etc...i'll see if I can find them [00:28] !helpme | Smurfie [00:28] Smurfie: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude === sarah is now known as Guest72179 [00:28] ikonia: honestly if youre that interested search by ip. im sure youll be able to find me. ive got more than 1 os [00:29] anyone know how to set up thunderbird to sync on dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu? [00:29] Livin4Jesus: i can say that it is a pain [00:29] Loneclock: use imap [00:29] wget http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso [00:29] oopsss! [00:29] Would basic chroot instead of the chromium os chroot be okay to use just to do the ubuntu install on the CR-48? [00:29] I'm trying to figure out how to list all lines between word1 and word2, I think sed can do this but it eludes me, anyone have any ideas? Basically I want to list everything between cop and cup from /usr/share/dict/words. Thanks! [00:29] Scott_Puopolo: much easier (and better supported!) to use Additional Drivers in System -> Administration menu [00:30] ikonia, can i just install thunderbird on both partitions or is there an easier way? [00:30] Is there a way to disable a monitor in TwinView from cli (instead of nvidia-settings)? [00:30] ikonia pretty pretty pretty please [00:31] jrib: I agree but in this case nvidia is trying to fix a regression with xorg 1.9 so that the appropriate drivers show up in Additional Drivers and get installed [00:31] Loneclock: both partitions ? install thunderbird on ubuntu and windows, then use imap to keep your emails in sync across the OS's [00:31] hey guys [00:31] ikonia pretty pretty pretty please [00:31] !help imap [00:31] Hello, I need some help.. Im a new linux user, and am not familiar with it very well.. my laptop crashed last night... (i was putting music on my phone and disconnected it before ejecting, then it froze up for a couple minutes, it was fine until I shut it down and started up this morning... Thats the only thing I can think of that I did differently.... ) I was running ubuntu 10.10 , and i cant seem to get into a rescue mode, or even [00:31] get it to reinstall ubuntu... i downloaded a copy of the install cd from ubuntu.com... when i click "install ubuntu" the computer restarts and the ubuntu screen with the 5 dots loads for a few minutes then i get a message [00:31] BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) [00:31] Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

[00:33] no [00:33] Help. Upgraded tp 11.0 2 weeks ago. Now I let the automatic update install everything that was recommended. Grub loads and ubuntu splash screen comes up . Then the purple screen comes up that usally popsup my window for user name and password but the box doesnt open. I tried safemode but can only get a shell to work. I suck at shell. [00:33] Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu stop aksing for passwords for everything? I am the only one who uses this machine and people know not to touch it so I'm not concerned with security. How do I totally get rid of this? [00:33] linuxmonger: is it first in line? [00:34] dewdrop: 11.04 is not supported [00:34] Livin4Jesus: and others following...check out this link...go through the readme and let me know what you think...there are instructions in the readme for installing this package...ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.19/ [00:34] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/aMDyhgiE [00:34] [00:34] psionicsin: it only asks for passwords when you modify system settings. What sort of things are you doing so often that the password prompt is becoming annoying? [00:34] shcherbak: Yes, the words are one per line. [00:35] jrib it asks for system settings, and also when I wake the pc up from sleeping. I don't like that. Cna this feature be removed? [00:35] Loneclock: that repo is down, or your machine is not connected to the internet poperly [00:35] properly [00:35] Loneclock: that repo is up, I've just checked it [00:35] ikonia, how do i find out whats wrong with my internet then? [00:36] psionicsin: what do you mean by "it asks for system settings"? For the password prompt when returning from sleeping, you can change that either in screensaver preferences or power management preferences (don't know offhand) [00:36] Loneclock: probably your dns, [00:36] no other OS [00:36] Ok i have a problem over here. I put in my Ubuntu CD, then click Install Ubuntu from the boot menu, then the screen goes blank, and No Signal pops out. GeForce 6150 LE [00:36] ikonia, something in the router? [00:36] jrib I mean I don't want it to ask for a password for anything. Not even system settings. Is this possible? [00:36] I tried turning the screen off and on but i get no signal anyway [00:36] start up issue: no init found . . . . ring a bell to anyone? [00:37] psionicsin: possible but not recommended [00:37] jrib I'm the only one that uses this machine, and I have heavy defences on my live. How do I do it? [00:37] line* [00:37] psionicsin: can you answer my original question? [00:37] quick question. Is there anything unique that GNOME uses for sound that LXCDE and XFCE does not use? I installed LXDE since I prefer it to GNOME, however the sound does not work in LXDE (or xfce) but it does in gnome. I checked my ALSA settings, nothing is muted and everything is cranked up. The system recognizes my soundcard (ESS Maestro3 PCI). Pulseaudio is started and running as well [00:38] Repost> When I put in my Ubuntu CD, and click Install Ubuntu from the boot menu, then the screen goes blank, and No Signal message pops out. My chipset is GeForce 6150 LE . I tried turning the screen off and on but that makes no difference [00:38] I also tried eSound instead of pulse audio to no avail [00:38] !verify | Aerosonic [00:38] Aerosonic: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:38] I did verify the MD5 [00:38] I also downloaded an alternative image [00:38] jrib that was a typo. I meant to say that is asks for the password during changing system setting or installing/removing passwords, and also during waking up. [00:39] Aerosonic: after you burned? [00:39] Yes, after i burned [00:39] And before i burned [00:39] linuxmonger: one second (moment) [00:39] ikonia, any idea how to fix it? [00:39] No login screen after 11.04 recommended updates. Am I gonna lose everything? Safe mode doesnt work either [00:39] And verified the alternative download, same difference [00:39] Downloaded both 32bit and 64bit versions [00:39] ikonia fixed it without your help [00:39] jrib: Any ideas? [00:39] I'm using google's dns servers now in both my router and my resolv.conf file [00:40] dewdrop: you have ashell, so no, you're not going to lose everything. there's a pretty good chance of you getting your stuff back. [00:40] psionicsin: right so make it not ask you for a password when waking up and changing system settings should not be something that you do so often that it's annoying. The password is remembered for 15 minutes anyway. It's a really really bad idea to have it not ask for passwords at all. [00:40] jrib what's the theoretical bad thing about it? [00:41] Aerosonic: so what happens with the alt cd? [00:41] jrib: same thing [00:41] Aerosonic: really weird [00:41] industry__ I suck using shell. Im on my wifes pc right now . Slamming head against the wall for upgrading to unstable version [00:41] jrib I'm just trying to understand because Windows claims having a password makes it more secure also, yet I've never used one and never had problems. [00:42] Anyone else could help? When I put in my Ubuntu CD, and click Install Ubuntu from the boot menu, then the screen goes blank, and No Signal message pops out. My chipset is GeForce 6150 LE . I tried turning the screen off and on but that makes no difference. Checksums matched, both on 32bit and 64bit, i tried alternative download too.. [00:42] ooh ya just a minute [00:42] psionicsin: when you run software, you want it to have as little rights as possible. So that if it is compromised, it does not brick your whole system [00:42] Livin4Jesus: and others following...check out this link...go through the readme and let me know what you think...there are instructions in the readme for installing this package...ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.19/ <---- Well, my GeForce card is a Legacy card, so... [00:42] Guest72179: sorry for the late reply, butuse something like gparted or dban and clear/clean the hdd [00:43] jrib...but when I eneter my password...i'm giving it those rights, correct?

[00:43] Anyone else could help? When I put in my Ubuntu CD, and click Install Ubuntu from the boot menu, then the screen goes blank, and No Signal message pops out. My chipset is GeForce 6150 LE . I tried turning the screen off and on but that makes no difference. Checksums matched, both on 32bit and 64bit, i tried alternative download too.. [00:43] how do I find out which package owns a particular file on my system? [00:43] Livin4Jesus: did you get a chance to read that readme? <---- Not yet... But, it said that the .run file doesn't work for Legacy cards... :/ [00:44] psionicsin: Yeah, ideally ubuntu wouldn't remember your password at all. And nowadays, with polkit you give rights to do *specific* things, not "anything it wants" [00:44] FireWire networking advice: I've networked my Laptop and Server (laptop running 10.10, Server running 10.04) using FireWire for the alleged speed boost. It's around the same as my ethernet - 4MB/s. Any advice? This seems common but i've thus far been unable to find a solution elsewhere. [00:44] is there a way to disable update manager from automatically starting when I connect to a network with ubuntu netbook remix/edition? how?! [00:44] Aerosonic: have you followed this thread? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html/comment-page-2#comments [00:44] e.g. I want to be able to do "apt-get find_owner /usr/include/libelf.h" [00:44] synackfin: dpkg -S [00:44] the comments in their were especially helpful for me, was having same problem you were Aerosonic [00:44] jrib Ok well how do I do it anyway? I'll deal with the consequences if and when they come. I want the knowledge of this. [00:44] What has better support in Ubuntu these days? ATI or Nvidia? [00:45] psionicsin: it's stupid to do. [00:45] The screen is not blank, there is absolutelly no output to the screen, Praxi [00:45] SuperLag: I can't speak for everyone but I have a laptop with a Nvidia and i've never had graphic card issues. [00:45] psionicsin: you would run everything as root, very stupid [00:45] jrib noted. how do I do it? [00:45] same same [00:45] Man, so many people use nVidia... :P [00:45] nVidia started sucking latelly [00:45] Livin4Jesus nVidia rocks [00:46] lol nVidia is the way to go for linux. [00:46] Livin4Jesus: It was the onboard graphics card for my laptop. I'm not a fan either way but it works and works reasonably well. [00:46] Ken: I'm looking for a dual-head card that I can put in a 64-bit Ubuntu desktop [00:46] cafejunkie, i agree [00:46] I had sooo many problems with ATI on linux [00:46] Even more on nVidia [00:46] unfortunately I have an old ati raedon in my older laptop. Got the resolution to work but no desktop effects unfortunately [00:46] 2 ubuntu releases on nvidia 8400 gs np [00:46] :) [00:47] I guess not then [00:47] hi Guys [00:47] Can i ask questions about Ubuntu in this chat room? [00:47] SuperLag: For what it counts in a lot of tutorials that state things like, "This may not work if you have an ATI card" etc. Nvidia seems to be the way to go but don't rely solely on my advice. Some (rare) gaming and Compiz are about as hard as I push my laptop. [00:47] amanda__: ubuntu support is what this channel is about, yes [00:47] Well im having Trouble [00:48] FireWire anyone? [00:48] On my Desktop i have PCLinuxOS and I have a 3d Cube desktop and wobbly windows and everything, But in my Sony Vaio Laptop none of that will work [00:49] i applied Compiz, and emerald, and everything but it wont work [00:49] amanda_: Might sound patronizing but have you installed the graphics card and tried restarting? [00:49] can someone help me with this http://pastebin.com/N6XPXXGU [00:50] amanda__: The amount of times I can't get something to work and all I need to do is a quick restart. [00:50] thats the other thing, i cant find my devices [00:50] you shoudl theoretically need either compiz or emerald, not both [00:50] its totally different then PCLOS [00:50] Loneclock: Did you modify your source.list file? [00:50] Livin4Jesus: ok...check out this link to see if your chipset is included in this package... [00:50] Please go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html, follow the [00:50] Archive link under the Linux x86 heading, follow the link for the 96.43.19 [00:50] driver, and then go to the Supported Products List. [00:50] Scott_Puopolo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:50] ;'., === Ragondain is now known as Lenoob [00:51] ken, i dont think so [00:51] amana_: what ddoes it say you have for your video card in lspci [00:51] i did a quick restart and nothing but if you can guide me toward my graphics chip device [00:51] Scott_Puopolo: Already went through that... [00:51] Mine is supported. [00:51] :D [00:51] Now, [00:51] can some one help me with this error please? http://pastie.org/1399461 [00:51] Loneclock: Give me a second until I check mine but I think, maybe, you've got an incorrect entry there. [00:51] the question is, [00:51] Livin4Jesus: ok cool [00:51] what next? [00:51] ken okay [00:52] Also, Scott_Puopolo, I currently have NVIDIA graphics driver from the Ubuntu Software Center installed, but it doesn't do anything... I still can't activate the effects. [00:52] hello [00:52] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [00:52] Loneclock: Do me a favour please. Can you use pastie and copy/paste what it says in your sources.list file found at (/etc/apt/sources.list) [00:53] .+ [00:53] >And it's active. o-o [00:53] Ahem, sorry. Dropped my phone on the keyboard. [00:53] one quick question i cant get my skype to work well the mic [00:53] ken, what command do i use, sorry i am new to ubuntu and linux [00:53] Livin4Jesus: do you know what version of driver you have? (should show in NVIDIA configuration app) [00:53] glitchd: did anyone answer you? If not have you tried uninstalling the facebook app its complaining about? [00:53] i got ubuntu lucid [00:54] Praxi, no, noone has answered me, and yes i have tried uninstalling the app [00:54] glitchd: did you purge it? [00:54] Loneclock: Don't be sorry. There is probably a better solution but this is how i'd do it. In the terminal type "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [00:54] Praxi, even gone as far as removing the file its talking about and all it does it state that another file after that is giving the same problem [00:54] Praxi, no i dont believe so [00:55] hi all [00:55] ovichelu: Hello. [00:55] amanda_: unfortunately not supporated too well in Ubuntu. I'm assuming you are using 10.10 [00:55] yes [00:55] glitchd: I'm pretty new to all this, but see if you can find the packing doing dpkg -l | grep face . If you find it uninstall with dpkg -P name [00:55] ken http://pastebin.com/s54nxqtz [00:56] Loneclock: Thanks. I'll look at it now. [00:56] what is the anydvd equivalent in ubuntu? [00:56] glitchd: that should remove all traces of the app from your system, it worked for me to get rid of a bunch of ruby stuff hanging around [00:56] Praxi, it popped up a whole bunch of things [00:56] ce faceti ma? [00:56] one quick question i cant get my skype to work well the mic?????????????? i got ubuntu lucid [00:57] ovichelu ai gresit networku [00:57] Scott_Puopolo: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edot your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server". O_O [00:57] glitchd: dpkg -l | grep facebook does that slim it down? [00:57] ce faci gabi? [00:57] caut un email [00:57] de unde esti mane? [00:57] sau pe cineva cu un email mai privat daca pot spune asa [00:57] cafejunkie: I have Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) and have no problems in 10.10, i just don't run compiz [00:57] amanda_: have you tried checking for a proprietary driver? Go to your appearance settings, then choose either the second or third desktop effects (normal or extra) and wait for it to check for a driver [00:57] one quick question i cant get my skype to work well the mic?????????????? i got ubuntu lucid === andrew_ is now known as Guest44195 [00:58] Praxi, yes [00:58] !fr | Gabi [00:58] Gabi: 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. [00:58] Praxi, it lists only one package then [00:58] Livin4Jesus: yeah, that's what i ran into also but then i found this nvidia driver...the trick is running this installer before x starts... [00:58] itaylor57: Yeah, it works but amanda is trying to get compiz going [00:58] Loneclock: Have you tried removing (commenting out) the repositories in question? The ones that are causing problems. [00:58] one question [00:58] one quick question i cant get my skype to work well the mic?????????????? i got ubuntu lucid WHAT can i do??? [00:58] Livin4Jesus: yeah, that's what i ran into also but then i found this nvidia driver...the trick is running this installer before x starts... <---- What installer? '~' [00:58] cathexis: I can't go into too much detail but my inbuilt mic caused more problems than an external one. [00:58] i just lost my buttons [00:58] glitchd: if that looks like your package, do the dpkg -P X X=the name it just shows you [00:58] !spam | cathexis [00:58] meh. [00:59] Praxi, ok ill try it [00:59] hey can someone help me [00:59] ken , nope [00:59] My windows are wobbling but now i dont have Minimize maximize and close buttons [00:59] glitchd: just remember I'm new at this also :) [00:59] Cathexis: Please don't repeat your question over and over again, though. [00:59] Livin4Jesus: i'm mostly a beos and haiku user so maybe someone else can show us how to kill x and run this from a prompt [00:59] since yesterday (although it happened to me a few months ago and solved itself after a few days) my mouse and keyboard are frozen for 2 minutes when i start the computer. I must wait about two minutes in the login screen [00:59] ken do you think that would help [00:59] i want to register an username all i need is your email , so you will give me back the activation link ( they dont allow free emails like aol / yahoo / hotmail .... ) [00:59] amanda__: Try reloading/login out and back in. [00:59] does anybody knows whya? [00:59] Livin4Jesus: Have you tried System > Administration > Additional Drivers yet? [00:59] ok brb [00:59] Livin4Jesus: the package that you downloaded that ends is .run is the package [00:59] Loneclock: It should do. You can disable them through the GUI but it's not exactly ideal if you need those respositories. [00:59] ok ken thanks [00:59] Scott_Puopolo: You actually use Be/Haiku as your primary OS? [01:00] ken how do i know if i need them? [01:00] Praxi, dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove pidgin-facebookchat which isn't installed. [01:00] Livin4Jesus: Have you tried System > Administration > Additional Drivers yet? <--- Yup. In fact, I have a nVidia driver installed form the Ubuntu Software Center, but it still didn't do anything... [01:00] Cathexis: No problem. It depends on your sound drivers, etc too. For ALSA I had to install alsa-mixer and fiddle with the controls in it. [01:00] Livin4Jesus: yeah...of course...doesn't everybody? [01:00] lol [01:00] Maybe I should try again... [01:00] Livin4Jesus: Installing the package from Software Center is *not* the same. [01:00] Be expecting me to disconnect. :/ [01:00] Livin4Jesus: Installing the package from Software Center is *not* the same. <---- ? [01:00] Livin4Jesus: You need to install the package *and* enable the driver. [01:00] anyone up for tackling a sound issue? [01:00] I did. [01:00] Loneclock: I'll take a look to see. Which version are you using? 10.04? [01:01] Buttons came back but wobbling stopped hrmm [01:01] Livin4Jesus, sounds like u need to go to the nvidia site and get the driver specifically for your card. [01:01] Jordan_U: It's install and enabled. :/ [01:01] ken how do i check? [01:01] are you talking about enabling the desktop effects with the propietary nvidia drivers? [01:01] Livin4Jesus: Can you post a screenshot from System > Administration > Additional Drivers? [01:01] amanda_: Install ccsm (compiz configuration settings manager) and it'll allow you to control all of the behaviours, if it's working correctly. [01:01] Scott_Puopolo: That's awesome. It's sad that Be didn't get a bit more traction. [01:01] !screenshot | Livin4Jesus [01:01] Livin4Jesus: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [01:01] Livin4Jesus: IIRC you will be running this package with 'sudo sh ' but remember this only works with x not running [01:01] glitchd: did that with a capital P? [01:02] OK, hold on... [01:02] Livin4Jesus: ok good luck [01:02] hi [01:02] can I make [01:02] hey folks [01:02] Thanks Ken i will try that [01:02] a new partion from existing one I'm currently using [01:02] in gparted? [01:02] Praxi, yes [01:02] for some reason I can't connect to skype - I keep on getting a "p2p connect failed" [01:02] mylisto, skype is down for now [01:03] glitchd: hmm don't have much more to offer you, other than try it from apt-get, check this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/how-do-i-get-apt-get-to-completely-uninstall-a-package-237772/ [01:03] ah it is? [01:03] mylisto, almost no one can connect [01:03] what daemons does GNOME use for sound that are not present by dfeault in xfce/lxde? Sound works on GNOME, not lxde/xfce. Check ALSA, everything good, found sound card. Pulseaudio is running [01:03] Loneclock: Open up a terminal and type "cat /etc/issue" [01:03] mylisto: there's a problem today with skype, it's not your computer's fault, it's them [01:03] Praxi, ok thx for the help [01:03] ken , how do i check which version i am? [01:03] glitchd: if thats a no go, try INSTALLING that package (the one you don't want) then do a purge to uninstall it [01:03] cafejunkie: check it's not muted [01:03] jrib: not muted, everything up all the way [01:04] Still no good. D: [01:04] ken 10.04.1 [01:04] Praxi, it is installed but it says it isnt [01:04] I even tried using eSound instead of pulse..still nothing [01:04] thats weird Isnt it the windows began wobbling but lost my buttons then a quick restart stopped the wobbling and brought them back [01:04] LoneClock: Okay, thank you. I'll get back to you in a second [01:04] glitchd: the few times I have ran across that, its been left over config files and things like that [01:04] Livin4Jesus: ask in here how to exit x and get to runlevel 3 [01:04] Praxi, well how would i check for those then remove them? [01:04] glitchd: you can forcibly reinstall the package, will see if I canf ind you a link for that [01:05] glitchd: for me the dpkg -P worked [01:05] Does anyone know how to exit X and get to Runlevel 3? '~' [01:05] amanda_: It might be that the open source drivers for that card simply don't support desktop effects as of yet [01:05] dudes [01:06] how come I can't use my current partion in gparted [01:06] can i upgrade to AMD64 without having to start a bran new install? [01:06] to make a new partion for data? [01:06] Livin4Jesus: Please wait and try a bit more to get things working the supported way. Among other things installing the driver from Nvidia directly will mean that X will break every time you get a kernel upgrade. [01:06] amanda__: not if you have a 32bit install now [01:06] shadaloo: If the partition is mounted you can't modify it with gparted until it's unmounted. [01:06] amanda_: you could recompile a new kernel if your up for it [01:06] Ken: good call mate [01:06] glitchd: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/48910 it talks about what to do when apt-get fails [01:07] Ken: how do I unmount manually? [01:07] well ive never done that before ok so if my graphics chip wont work, will VirtualBox? [01:08] amanda__: If it's a nvidia card look into installing the restricted drivers (nvidia cards, in a lot of cases, come with restricted (non-free) drivers) [01:08] shadaloo: boot into the live CD, you cant unmount it if you are using it [01:08] Hi, I'm using OSS for my video editing program (cinelerra) because it's faster. Although, sometimes the sound stops working. I know that OSS only works with one app at a time, so I'm guessing something has "reclaimed" /dev/dsp. Is there a way to figure out what process is using /dev/dsp? [01:08] cafejunkie: k, thx [01:08] yeah and Sony and HP have restricted for Windows only type drivers [01:08] shadaloo: You might be able to unmount it if it's not your root partition through gparted. If not, live CD [01:08] Ill figure it out [01:08] Loneclock: I haven't forgotten about you. I'm just trying to generate a sources list. [01:09] amanda_: sorry couldn't be much more help. YOu could try virtualbox but I think that intel chipset (the open source drivers for it) just don't support the desktop effects [01:09] savid: fuser [01:09] Jordan_U: you are right about x breaking after every kernel update [01:09] ken okay thanks [01:09] Loneclock: Okay, do you know how to make a copy of a file in the terminal? [01:09] ok new developement [01:09] Jordan_U: this is provided by nvidia until this gets picked up by ubuntu [01:10] I have 3D desktop with Cube and full Rotation [01:10] I'm trying to get network manager up. What's the actual name of the program? [01:10] But my buttons just vanished again along witht he whole top bar of every window [01:10] craigbass1976: nm-applet [01:10] ken i dont think so, also, i updated from package manager and got this error [01:10] http://pastebin.com/ZrdR7gKJ [01:11] amanda_: try going into ccsm (compix config settings manager) go to effects > and tick/enable window decoration [01:11] Jordan_U: reverting back to the xorg system from lucid corrects the problem with legacy nvidia cards but this is even crazier hackery [01:11] Loneclock: No problem. In the terminal type for me (without the quotes): sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak [01:11] hey [01:11] what i did was set Compiz indirect rendering and merald as my options [01:11] need to know grub commands to find out what it looks like [01:12] Jordan_U, thanks. It says it's already running, ps confirms this. Darned if I see it anywhere though. [01:12] ok im in compiz config now [01:12] Loneclock: You should be careful when people ask you to enter commands, though, especially those which begin with "sudo" (superuser do - it's basically admin privledges). This command however does "copy the file sources.list which is found in /etc/apt directory. It makes a copy ending in .bak" - if anything goes wrong you can always revert to that backup. [01:12] that WORKED!! [01:12] ok [01:13] let's approach this question [01:13] from another angle guys [01:13] amanda_: good to hear [01:13] how can I copy [01:13] does anyone know the correct way to stop the x server and get to a prompt with runlevel 3? [01:13] Ok thanks for all the help imgoing to test it [01:13] amanda__: Look into getting "fusion-icon" too [01:13] ken, aaron@watermelons-laptop:~$ sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list [01:13] cp: missing destination file operand after `/etc/apt/sources.list' [01:13] Try `cp --help' for more information. [01:13] aaron@watermelons-laptop:~$ sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list [01:13] Loneclock: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:13] how can I copy /sdb1/ to /sda1/ without overriding os files [01:14] Scott_Puopolo, Good question; I'm pretty sure the ubuntu run levels are different than what you're used to though. You just want no gui, multi-user text? [01:14] ok one more thing before testing ,. how do i set Rotate Desktop to binding Middle Mouse Button [01:14] amanda__: Look into the keybindings tab for the cube. [01:14] craigbass1976: I missed where Livin4Jesus stated what nvidia card he has. What makes you think that it's a problem with a legacy nvidia card? [01:14] thank you [01:14] brb [01:14] Loneclock: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak [01:14] Loneclock: It told you you're missing the destination file. Basically you forgot to tell it where/what it's copying the first file to. [01:15] how can I copy /sdb1/ to /sda1/ without overriding os files [01:15] ok what would middle mouse button be super? [01:15] craigbass1976: yes i'm looking for the correct command(s) to quit x server and get a prompt with runlevel 3 [01:15] Mp3player [Indenso - Como o mar] CeBoLiNhA 2011 [01:15] Livin4Jesus: Can you post a screenshot from System > Administration > Additional Drivers? [01:15] how can I copy /sdb1/ to /sda1/ without overriding os files? [01:15] ken, when i do it is nothing supposed to happen in terminal? [01:15] Jordan_U, Meh? I'm talking about network manager, not nvidia [01:16] amanda__: I don't understand the question. The "super" button is usually the windows key. The middle mouse button depends on your computer. For me it's called "mouse 2" oddly but i'm on a laptop. [01:16] How do I change the password to the default keyring [01:16] Loneclock: No, nothing much will happen. Do: "ls /etc/apt/" for me please and paste the output. === christian is now known as Guest31792 [01:16] Jordan_U: Livin4Jesus is using this setup...VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX200] (rev b2), and I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 [01:16] Scott_Puopolo: I missed where Livin4Jesus stated what nvidia card he has. What makes you think that it's a problem with a legacy nvidia card? [01:16] i am on a laptop too but i hate the middle mouspad so i am using a mouse [01:16] shadaloo: "cp -R /mnt/sdb1 /mnt/sda1 should work [01:16] i need to know which button is the middle mouse button for roating the cube setting [01:17] shadaloo: as long as there are no matching files [01:17] cafejunkie: you are the sexiest [01:17] amanda__: Play with the settings and you should find them out. It'll either be "mouse 1" "mouse 2" or "mouse 3" most likely. [01:17] ok brb [01:17] cafejunkie: how can I do with process progress? [01:17] Jordan_U: i also have an nvidia card in another machine that i'm trying to correct since updating to 10.10 [01:17] ok it was button 2 [01:17] Scott_Puopolo: Thanks. [01:17] Sweet This rocks [01:17] ken, http://pastebin.com/MV5VRuuf I think it is working now, after i updated i was able to install thunderbird [01:18] Sleaker look then my PCLinuxOS [01:18] Mp3player [JeremihFeat. 50 Cent - Down On Me] CeBoLiNhA 2011 [01:18] http://wiki.compiz.org/CommonKeyboardShortcuts [01:18] amanda__: http://wiki.compiz.org/CommonKeyboardShortcuts [01:18] This is going to be FUN [01:18] Any suggestions on what this puppy can do [01:18] Jordan_U: from what i have found on forums, the move to xorg 1.9 has broken the nvidia drivers for legacy nvidia products [01:18] Loneclock: Have you tried to run "sudo apt-get update" in the terminal since? Check to see if you're still getting errors. We've not really done anything much. [01:18] di_giorgio: Please stop that / turn off whatever script is doing it. [01:18] cafejunkie: like this http://www.catonmat.net/blog/unix-utilities-pipe-viewer/ [01:18] cafejunkie: do u know?? [01:19] linuxmonger: You still there? [01:19] How do I change the default keyring password [01:19] shadaloo: I know the PV command shows a progress bar for files but doesn't always work for directories [01:19] amanda__: Check the scale plugin. It's pretty nice. I use it a lot for the functionality. Check out the extra plugins that contain the Grid, too. It's my most used. [01:19] I have 3.1ghz with 258DDRAM and 1.4 gigs of ram here [01:19] ken http://pastebin.com/eh0makYV [01:19] Jordan_U: nvidia has finally posted updated drivers but the install must be done manually...btw do you know the answer to my runlevel question? [01:19] shcherbak: Yes. [01:19] Hi, I just got ubuntu 10.04 and noticed the x - and windows are on the opposite sidee of how they would usually be [01:19] Test [01:19] like on osx [01:19] How do I change that? [01:19] to like how windows would have it [01:19] cafejunkie: so how would I set it up [01:19] shadaloo: check out this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/cp-progress-bar-407381/ [01:19] scale is a compiz plugin? [01:20] had few minutes with unrary problem (like always), do you still need stuff? [01:20] amanda__: It should be. Maybe it's in the plugin-extras package. I'm not sure to be honest. [01:20] david_, heh... I can't remember for sure, but googling will tell you. You may have to change the theme once you get done [01:20] ken, how can i see the difference between root user and me [01:20] Loneclock: We didn't fix anything, we just made a backup. Most likely you just needed to run "update" again. Might have been your network connection. [01:20] Scale Window Title? [01:20] Loneclock: How do you mean? [01:20] ken, well it said to make another user other than root and do most things as it, [01:20] oh that scale [01:20] ok, thanks craigbass1976 [01:20] Scott_Puopolo: Yes, you need to reboot holding shift and select "recovery mode" from the boot menu. Or run "sudo service gdm stop". [01:21] amanda__: No, it should be "scale" under the Windows Management [01:21] its enabled already ill see what it does [01:21] Ken: I think he means in like his name would be home/Lonelock/... [01:21] david_, I'd give you a link, but I'm in the midst of yelling at another laptop... [01:21] wow thats cool [01:21] Jordan_U: ok thanks for the info! [01:21] ken i want to make sure i actually made another user other than root with a different password [01:21] Loneclock: Ah. As far as I know Ubuntu makes another user aside from root anyway. Root is literally called "root" in your system. From your prompts i can see that you have the username Aaron, so you're not using the root account. [01:21] Scott_Puopolo: Be sure to explain to Livin4Jesus about needing to do this whenever there is a kernel upgrade. [01:21] shcherbak: cat /usr/share/dict/words | sed -e '1,/cop/d' -e 'cup,/$d' doesn't work, still trying. [01:21] jrib, would it be just "lsof /dev/dsp"? [01:22] ken is root sudo? [01:22] Yes [01:22] Loneclock: It'll be done by default. using "sudo" for commands gives root privledges. Essentially root can change everything. [01:22] is looking for a good place to get a server [01:22] Is there anything that makes Ubuntu initiate a shutdown? I was SSH'd in to my laptop and all of a sudden got a going down for system halt message and I have no idea why :( ? [01:22] !sudo | Loneclock [01:22] Loneclock: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:22] Lonelock. so Sudo command command ask for password [01:22] Well i'll come back later just to chat if thats ok thanks for all the help, i have to go eat its dinnner time [01:22] bye for now all [01:22] sudo gives you temporary root access. If you want to login as root in a terminal you type su- [01:22] Jordan_U: yeah, i will...there is also an option in this nvidia package to run an update switch that will keep the driver current [01:22] wants to install ubuntu-server on it [01:22] Tabmow: Only running out of battery should cause an automatic shutdown. [01:22] ken, when i log into ubuntu i use the same password as when i use the sudo command, but are they different users? [01:23] Scott_Puopolo: Ahh, wasn't aware of that. [01:23] linuxmonger: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546787/ [01:23] How do I change the default keyring password [01:23] I need to know to get wifi to work [01:23] Loneclock: Kind of. You're just authorizing your user to carry out advanced privileges. You're technically not root but you have root commands. Are you familiar with Windows? [01:23] Jordan_U: hopefully this will get picked up in the repos Some Time Soon (tm) and this will become obsolete...at least until the next 'upgrade' [01:23] !keyring | Wifihelp [01:23] savid: you can use fuser or lsof sure [01:24] ken not with commands programming etc [01:24] last attempt to save my filesystem [01:24] just with basic things ken [01:24] Loneclock: You know how you have an administrator account, and then you have other accounts that you can set to be administrator accounts (even with different usernames) - your account "aaron" is like the latter. You have to ask for permission to do administrator stuff. [01:24] Livin4Jesus: have you been following this conversation with Jordan_U? [01:24] and start up buffs out there? [01:24] Jordan_U: figured... it is plugged in though... ohh well need to wait till I get home to investigate [01:24] linuxmonger: change wordstart and wordfinish (add read to have it without editing, fails on repetitions) [01:24] hi, im in ubuntu 10.10. My computer gets frozen a random times and nothing works except I had to power off the machine, HP dv5. The capslock light blinks continuosly. hapens 2-3 a week. a help please! [01:24] shcherbak: Cool! Thank you! [01:24] my "Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" [01:24] Would anyone know how to determine the user-group of Apache's www-data? === roaming is now known as INFURNO [01:25] Jesdisciple: Server or Desktop installation? [01:25] Desktop [01:25] ken when i use sudo am i root? or am i just using commands root can use? [01:25] Jesdisciple: is that a trick question? [01:25] linuxmonger: and set your file instead of "list" [01:25] any good channel recommendations for start up issues? [01:25] jrib: not afaik [01:25] thelinuxlink.net [01:25] Jesdisciple: You could go to "system -> Users/groups" and check there. [01:25] Jesdisciple: www-data is the default user and group that apache runs as on ubuntu [01:25] Greetings. [01:25] Ken: only my personal account and root are listed there [01:26] Jesdisciple, wouldn't either /etc/passwd or /etc/grp tell you? [01:26] jrib: ah, so they have the same name - thanks [01:26] Jesdisciple: You might have to unlock it using the "unlock" button. [01:26] ken should i make my password for aaron different than my root(sudo) password? [01:26] Loneclock: You just use the commands root can use. [01:26] will a 64 bit version even work on a 32 bit setup? [01:26] KM0201, didn't get an. Ubottu message [01:26] ubuntu 64bit [01:26] Wifihelp: yeah, it didn't show... i thought thats where it was. [01:26] Loneclock: No. You don't have to change it. [01:26] Loneclock: root password is not sudo password. "sudo password" doesn't really have meaning [01:27] Yeah, guys, can I have some help [01:27] jrib, when i use the sudo command i am asked to type in a password? [01:27] Loneclock: yes, that's your user's password [01:27] So how do I change it [01:27] jrib, so how do you actually login as root [01:27] not that i am going too [01:27] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, I am trying to get my graphics card working. I had to reinstall because of problems with installing the drivers so I was wondering. How do I backup my xorg.conf file if 10.10 ? Can't find it. [01:27] /etc/passwd confirmed - www-data is a www-data [01:28] I just got a new 64GB usb stick which is formated exfat. It is not being seen by ubuntu. how can I get it usable? [01:28] Loneclock: Generally, you don't want to. For most purposes you just use "sudo su" to log in to a terminal as root. [01:28] I installed cataylst from hardware drivers, adn then rebooted, and now it gets to the ubuntu screen and then goes blank [01:28] Wifihelp: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10223213 [01:28] Loneclock: use sudo when you need to do something as superuser (sudo -i will get you a root shell essentially; do not use "sudo su" for this) [01:28] Ken: sudo -i is the prefered way in Ubuntu [01:29] IdleOne: Apologies. Thanks for the information. [01:29] Ken: sure thing [01:29] Loneclock: What they said, sorry. "sudo -i" [01:29] Loneclock: I'm pretty sure you can't log into the desktop as Root, only the terminal. You can unlock it but there really is no need and it's not advised. [01:29] ken why would i ever want to actually login as root as opposed to just using the sudo command [01:29] Jordan_U: Livin4Jesus: just found this link...looks like it will be coming to ubuntu repos as soon as they can.....https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/96.43.19-0ubuntu1 [01:29] using the sudo as my user* === linuxguy101 is now known as BankersOwnU [01:30] Loneclock: just use sudo don't make a mountain out of a molehill [01:30] ken, also how do i know what my root password is? sorry KM0201 just trying to get an idea lol [01:30] Loneclock: For the most part you wouldn't. Logging in as root in a shell means you don't have to issue the "sudo" command before everything for a start so it's useful for carrying out a lot of commands. I would highly recommend you use "sudo" though - you're less likely to do something by accident. [01:30] !root | Loneclock [01:31] Loneclock: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:31] Loneclock: there is no root password in Ubuntu [01:31] root is disabled, use sudo :) [01:31] How profound. [01:31] haha [01:31] sudo -i is like logging into root [01:31] The ubottu was a bit profound. I'm sure it just went all philosophical with that statement. [01:31] can I have some help? I installed cataylst from hardware drivers, adn then rebooted, and now it gets to the ubuntu screen and then goes blank [01:31] Where is the apt list located? [01:32] okay, well even if there is a root password in ubuntu i feel slightly better [01:32] nico1038: /etc/apt/sources.list [01:32] /etc/apt/sources.list [01:32] thx [01:32] nicofs: /etc/apt/sources.list [01:32] Loneclock: Ubuntu is pretty secure. You don't need to worry about setting up stuff like a root password. [01:32] there is a root user, it's just locked [01:32] now, is there an easy way to transfer all my thunderbird emails and password to my ubuntu partition [01:32] How can I restore changes made to xorg configuration if there is no configuration file ? [01:33] Want to be able to recover from me trying to install my graphics card. [01:33] quentusrex: that means there are no changes too [01:33] quentusrex: that means there are no changes too [01:33] Loneclock: It depends on the setup you use and the other mail client. Are you using IMAP or POP? [01:33] argh... [01:33] Loneclock: boot windows, backup everything to file(forget how to do that).. then boot Ubuntu, and import it. [01:33] Qauzzix: that means there are no changes too [01:33] in thunderbird there should be an export option in the menu [01:34] ken, using gmail and hotmail [01:34] Heya... Is is possible to copy a file from an FTP server to a local directory with a single line in terminal? [01:34] can thunderbird read hotmail? [01:34] I need to leave. Anyone willing to help walk Livin4Jesus through installing the nvidia drivers from maverick-proposed if he comes back? [01:34] jrib]$ Hummm, ok. How can I recover from wrongly installed graphics drivers then? [01:34] KM0201, backup everything to flash drive, and yes it can read hotmail just not yahoo free [01:34] KM0201, backup where? [01:34] Rogan_: wget url.to.file ? [01:35] Cheers [01:35] :) [01:35] GUYS! PLEASE!!!! I INSTALLED THE PROPRIETARY CATALYST DRIVER FROM THE HARDWARE DRIVERS PAGE AND NOW THE SCREEN GOES BLANK AT THE UBUNTU SCREEN AT BOOT!!!!! [01:35] Qauzzix: you'll get an xorg.conf if you install the nvidia driver [01:35] !caps | iShurtugal [01:35] iShurtugal: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:35] Loneclock: If you've never used it with Thuderbird before you need to enable the accounts. I'm not sure about hotmail but gmail works nicely. I advise setting up IMAP (it means any changes you make on Thunderbird will be copied to the gmail server). For Gmail see: http://www.debianadmin.com/configure-gmail-in-evolution-thunderbird-or-kmail.html [01:36] that's the third time I've asked..... [01:36] I need to leave. Anyone willing to help walk Livin4Jesus through installing the nvidia drivers from maverick-proposed if he comes back? <----- I'll just do it tomorrow. I gotta leave soon, anyway, so... [01:36] I'll probably solve this tomorrow or such. [01:36] iShurtugal: uninstall it from the recovery shell [01:36] ken is there a way i can check what it uses without logging out of ubuntu and logging into windows? [01:36] hye [01:37] Loneclock: You shouldn't have to log in/out of anything if you're just setting up a new account on Thunderbird. Do you have Thunderbird installed and set up on Windows already? [01:37] hi, im in ubuntu 10.10. My computer gets frozen at random times. I had to power off the machine, HP dv5. The capslock light blinks continuosly. hapens 2-3 a week. a help is appreciated! [01:37] iShurtugal]$ Dosn't matter how often you ask. We are not here to answere questions. [01:37] ken yes thats what i am trying to sync them [01:37] dual boot ubuntu and windows 7 [01:37] Qauzzix: actually we are. [01:37] iShurtugal]$ If you are not getting answere, then its probibly because of a bad question. [01:38] Does anyone here know about RabbitMQ STOMP installation? I'm not getting a response in #rabbitmq [01:38] ken thunderbird is already all set up on windows partition [01:38] IdleOne]$ Since when did IRC turn into a support center? [01:38] Loneclock: Ah, I see. It really depends on how you have it set up. If you have it set up as IMAP you just have to add a few account. Otherrwise you might want to use the backup method mentioned earlier. (You'd have to log out to check if it's IMAP or POP3 though) [01:38] IdleOne]$ And how can you tell me that I am here to answere questions. [01:38] Qauzzix: if you don't want to help that is fine but please keep your bad attitude to yourself. [01:38] what should I uninstall exactly, I've tried sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx and a few others [01:38] IdleOne]$ I was trying to be helpfull. [01:38] Qauzzix: Er, this is the IRC support for Ubuntu. Have you read the topic? [01:39] Qauzzix: you were being rude. [01:39] can anyone explain the display variable to me? i get the first part should be computer IP but what is after the :? 0.0? can i specify port? [01:39] ken, how can i tell what my grub screen will look like without logging ou?t [01:39] Ken: don't encourage him. [01:39] Can someone help me setup a basic chroot? [01:39] Good night! [01:39] IdleOne]$ If asking the same question again and again does not yield questsions, then someone should point that out to you. [01:39] Loneclock: That I don't know. [01:39] And I think it is ro [01:39] rude to use capslock. [01:39] .. [01:40] !guidelines > Qauzzix [01:40] Qauzzix, please see my private message [01:40] does anyone know how to check what the grub screen will look like without logging out? [01:40] And I really don't think anyone here is getting paid for any support job. So be polite when you ask questions. [01:40] Qauzzix: drop it now please. [01:40] Loneclock: I'm not sure you can. My memory tells me something about that being possible but I honestly can't remember. [01:41] Hmm. I came here about an hour ago just to ask a question. IRC is evil. [01:41] anyone ever install ubuntu server over a serial port (w/pxe)? [01:41] Is there a way to disable a monitor in TwinView from cli (instead of nvidia-settings)? [01:41] ken, i want to get rid of the countdown timer on grub and get rid of the old versions of linux, if possible i would also like to edit it to only say windows 7 and ubuntu without the memtest etc....do you think that would be a good or bad idea? [01:41] IdleOne]$ Just one last thing: since your pointing me to the guidelines -> "Don't repeat your question every few minutes" [01:42] Ken, I just logged on- so whats your question? [01:42] Loneclock: check grub managers in repos (some of them had "preview" option) [01:42] IdleOne: I didn't ask a question. You may also want to read !codeofconduct [01:42] Loneclock: Grub2 (which is the version of Grub that Ubuntu now uses) is a bit of a pain to edit. [01:42] err [01:42] Qauzzix: I didn't ask a question. You may also want to read !codeofconduct [01:42] Loneclock: but it was with normal grub [01:43] does anyone remember serial ports? [01:43] IdleOne]$ Nope, I was talking to a person that was reapeting himself and then you started talking to me about it. [01:43] ubnoob: I just asked about Firewire networking. I'm achieving very low transfer rates and can't see any solutions to improving it. [01:43] !grub2 | Loneclock [01:43] Loneclock: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

They're both directly connected to one another with a Firewire cable. [01:46] Loneclock: No problem at all. Stay inquisitive and make sure you keep plenty of patience.

[01:55] matt8104, where is startuup manager? [01:55] apt-get install startup-manager [01:56] Loneclock: You need to install startup-manager most likely. [01:56] then its in administrationi think [01:56] jrib]$ Interesting enough, the ati driver also came with aticonfig that made the xorg file. So it works for both nvidia and ati. [01:56] ya you can search and install it through the software centre Lone [01:57] what does echo -n mean? [01:57] Qauzzix: yes [01:57] Hi, I'm trying to connect to my Windows 7 box via samba [01:57] But it refuses to accept my password [01:57] Loneclock, http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/257/burg-gorgeous-alternative-to-grub-add-icons-animated-menus-and-themes .. and you can install BURG Manager , form managing and more themes.

It'll do most of your stuff with Grub2 for you. (Or give you the tools anyhow) [01:58] @phillyj 10.10 [01:58] phillyj: depends, do you need guaranteed stability for long term if so get 10.04 if not 10.10 [01:58] hello [01:59] Anyone here able to install ubuntu on an archos 5? [01:59] phillyj: what system do you currently have [01:59] Alright. 2am. I think it's probably time I should get some sleep. [01:59] ken how do i know the drive where burg should reside? [02:00] ubnoob: i got windows xp, i'm getting wubi; this is my third reinstall since june since they break for no reason [02:00] I'd really like to know why it won't accept any combination of usernames and passwords I'm throwing at it [02:00] Loneclock: Not sure, i've never installed it. It'll probably be your first hard drive, though. /dev/sda I'd imagine. [02:00] I can connect to it just fine from other computers [02:00] anyone else able to log into skype yet? [02:00] aeon-ltd: i just want something that won't crash [02:00] It's just this laptop running 32-bit ubuntu 10.10 that can't [02:00] Loneclock: Open up the terminal and pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [02:00] Loneclock, I wouldn't go altering stuff until you learn abit more... [02:01] Anyone? [02:01] UnholyTerror, the only thing i really want to alter is the countdown timer on grub lol [02:01] I got a question [02:01] Loneclock, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html [02:01] UnholyTerror: thats good advice if i ever heard it.. i love the people that install in the morning, and by mid afternoon, they want to know how to compile drivers and source code, and by evening, they wanna learn to programs.. [02:01] I have a widescreen LCD and the native resolution is 1280.1024 [02:01] ubnoob: alright, 10.10 it is [02:01] Shall I just go ask somewhere else? [02:01] Loneclock, BURG Manager , it's better installing from the PPA to keep up to date http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/burg-boot-loader-installation-themeing-more-gets-even-easier-with-burg-manager-app/ [02:01] but for some reason, it only supports 4:3 instead of 16:9 [02:02] this worked fine with my nvidia card but with ATI it doesn't [02:02] Heya (again). For a wget from a local ftp server, I'm getting login incorrect even though the same details work through a ftp gui. Is my syntax wrong? "wget user:password@ftp://10.0.1.168/" [02:02] adam__: probably cuz ATI sucks [02:02] doomcup_: I'm honestly not sure. I've had that issue in the past but i've since stopped using Samba. It'll be a problem somewhere in the config file. [02:02] KM0201, I know. [02:02] I need a solution though [02:02] everything looks squashed [02:02] KM0201, ;) [02:03] Ken: thanks [02:03] Where should I start?. [02:03] doomcup_: Er, it's 2am and it's been a while since I used Samba. Give me a minute or five and i'll see what I can turn up. I vaguely remember that I had to make sure I added my username (the one on the client that was connection to the samba share) in the config file. Sorry it's so vague. [02:04] hello [02:04] hmm, the wubi site is different; is there a WUBI download that I can burn on a disc in case I have to reinstall? [02:04] Last day of work this yearrrrrrrrrrrr [02:05] why on the synaptic package manager trying to reload the repositories i got so many failed repositories when it is trying to download them? [02:05] phillyj: wubi is on the normal ubuntu CD.. download it and burn it.. although i can't imagine anyone wanting to use Wubi [02:05] Rogan__: I didn't even know you could use wget for FTP. Ubuntu has a built in ftp access in the commandline which might be a bit more suitable. Alternatively, scp which is more secure. [02:06] nsar: what failed repositories¿ [02:06] wait [02:06] translation-en_US [02:07] and release-gpg [02:07] My problem is I can see my windows box on the network [02:07] i am located in philippines if that is important [02:07] help, im trying to set nautilus so that alt+left arrow key goes back, alt+up arrow key goes up a dir. [02:07] But when I try to send something to the printer or access the shares it asks for authentication [02:07] In a neverending loop [02:07] Sure can. I'm actually accessing a ubuntu ftp server from some terrible old gentoo installation, which is why I'm using wget. SCP Didn't seem to work, is that because this server is hosting ftp? [02:07] It won't accept anything [02:07] Qauzzix: got notes on how you did the install over serial? [02:08] doomcup_, we've all had that problem! [02:08] nsar: what exactly error message did you get¿ [02:08] Rogan__: If it helps.. [02:08] is there a way to change the nautilus shortcuts? [02:08] UnholyTerror, is there a way to fix it? [02:08] or keybindings? [02:08] failed instead of the download bar increasing from 1 to 100 % [02:08] Rogan__: wget --ftp-user=USER --ftp-password=PASSWORD ftp://SERVER that's the format for FTP. [02:08] doomcup_, did you set up the share on the windows side? [02:08] Yes [02:09] thanks :) [02:09] KM0201: is WUBI an option when i run the iso? [02:09] nsar: I think that's the second problem like that tonight. Try running it again later - it might be a network issue. [02:09] phillyj: yes, insert the ISO and there will be the wubi EXE on there [02:09] phillyj: Yes, if you put in the install CD when you're logged into Windows. [02:09] on the window that is writing downloading package information [02:09] doomcup_, is the workgroup correct? [02:09] so problem from the servers? [02:09] Yes [02:10] thanks for the help [02:10] nsar: Possibly. I can't confirm it though, but someone else had the same issue earlier. Try running "sudo apt-get update" from the terminal [02:10] is there a way to make alt+left go back a directory? [02:10] I am trying to do a a build on an application. Has anyone seen this error before. Which library do I need to install? I am assuming something related to X11 -DEV ? X11/extensions/shape.h: No such file or directory [02:10] akarta [02:11] ok [02:11] glitchd: Consider looking into the "keyboard shortcuts" in your preferences. [02:11] can anyone help me with setting up an extra monitor? [02:11] Ken, i checked that [02:11] Ken, its not in there [02:11] doomcup_, you could try uninstalling/reinstalling SAMBA... [02:11] Ken, i think its in a config file somewhere [02:11] Tried that [02:11] No dice [02:11] Ken, which one, i dont know [02:11] glitchd: It might be in gconfig-editor somewhere.

[02:13] Ken: im new to ubuntu and just cant get it set up right [02:13] hi, I've got a little problem here, if I do $ php test.php >> test.log everything works fine and stuff is logged into the file [02:14] but if I do $ php test.php >> test.log & disown [02:14] joshua-carmack: What's your graphics card? [02:14] nothing is logged [02:14] Ken: how would I check that? [02:14] anyone tell me why i set my kismet.conf to [02:14] a different log file location and it keeps dumping to /root? sorry for 2 lines [02:14] doomcup_, /usr/share/doc/samba* [02:15] permissions ? [02:15] Hi. Could anyone here help me applying the patch mentioned here: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19574 ? I've never done anything like that before, don't know how to do it. [02:15] joshua-carmack: In the terminal you can type "sudo lshw" to list your hardware. [02:15] UnholyTerror, what do I do here? [02:16] doomcup_, read. [02:16] Read them, unfortunately. [02:16] Ah, RTFM [02:16] How informative [02:16] Thanks for your help [02:16] I'll ask somewhere else [02:16] doomcup_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === Kevin is now known as totyko [02:16] doomcup_, ooh, thought that was going south for a moment. [02:17] Charming. [02:17] doomcup the pw of the windows box does not let you in [02:17] Ken, I could have *not* told him... [02:17] DIL, doomcup is gone. [02:17] What he meant was "Oh, great. You spent the time finding that stuff out for me, making suggestions and couldn't help therefore offered me alternatives. How dare you!"

I'm going to bed shortly. [02:18] UnholyTerror: just wondering why you smiled at me.. :) [02:18] Ken, ;) [02:19] KM0201, you're just so cute! [02:19] UnholyTerror: I guess you just have KM0201 on your mind, eh? [02:19] lol [02:19] oh my [02:19] anyone? [02:19] DIL: Test [02:19] hmm [02:19] hey guys/gals need some help here. I've installed Ubuntu Maverick on a couple systems and now Linux Mint 10 on another and every single one after restart, Network Manager is not visible in the tray. I have to run "killall NetworkManager" and it pops up. Any ideas? [02:19] Im new to irc how do you direct a message to a user. But it's not PM [02:19] !tab | Metallipod [02:19] Metallipod: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:20] Metallipod: like this [02:20] Metallipod: most folks have their client to highlight when their name is said [02:20] yeah like that. [02:20] IdleOne, Like this? [02:20] you got it [02:20] Thanks alot [02:20] ! [02:20] joshua-carmack: Sorry to be unhelpful but try this thread > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1457931 < - it has some details. I've set up dual monitors with my nvidia graphics card (it was pretty easy) so i'm not sure about yours specifically. [02:21] joshua-carmack: Not a direct solution in that URL unfortunately but it should point you in the right direction I hope [02:21] got an ltsp problem anyone game? [02:21] dragonstone, have you tried removing/adding to the panel? [02:22] Ken, nvidia-settings? [02:22] UnholyTerror, no I haven't. How would I do that? [02:22] might be an easy fix i am pretty green [02:22] Ken, anything? [02:22] glitchd: Sorry, I didn't forget about you I just got side tracked. I've looked through the preferences and can't really see it. [02:22] Hi. Could anyone here help me applying the patch mentioned here: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19574 ? I've never done anything like that before, don't know how to do it. Or would it be enough to reinstall some package? Some source files are mentioned in the link, but I don't know which apt package they would belong to. [02:22] Ken, ok [02:22] Ken, np [02:22] hey glitched sup man [02:23] dragonstone, you right-click on it and select remove, then right-click on the panel and select add [02:23] test [02:23] got the dhcp figured out your gonna laugh at me [02:23] ok how do i resize a partition that has ubuntu installed on it [02:23] Ken, nvidia-settings? [02:23] gparted from a live cd === roaming is now known as INFURNO [02:23] @ jezek [02:23] UnholyTerror: Yeah, that's what I use for dual monitors. I missed the question before that. [02:24] glitchd: This might point you in the right direction: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-561831.html [02:24] Ken, nvidia-settings for joshua-carmack... [02:24] joeoshawa: yes [02:24] UnholyTerror: Ah. I thought he had an Intel graphics card. RandR maybe? [02:24] Jezek: use gparted [02:24] Ken, to funny and creepy at the same tine, i just opened that right before u sent it to me [02:24] joeoshawa: oh im there already [02:24] Jezek: from live cd [02:24] Ken, I thought he said nvidia... [02:24] glitchd: More creepy than anything. I'm looking in your window :-) [02:25] partition cannot be mounted [02:25] Ken, im in the garage [02:25] Ken, no windows [02:25] UnholyTerror, if I right-click on the panel, i can't remove it. If i right-click on the NetworkManager icon I can't remove that either. I am currently testingon Mint. [02:25] UnholyTerror: You could very much be correct. [02:25] joeoshawa: it says i cant resize anymore though [02:25] Ken, so ur lookin in my neighbors house buddy [02:25] glitchd: That's awkward. I have no idea who i'm peering in at then. [02:25] Ken, nope intel... [02:25] is it mounted [02:25] Ken, thats more creepy [02:25] i dont have anything mounted [02:25] your using a live cd? [02:25] joshua-carmack [02:26] joeoshawa: yes [02:26] how many partitions do you you have on that drive already [02:26] 4? [02:26] dragonstone, do you see the little vertical hash marks on the panel? [02:26] Alright, I'm really going to bed this time. Stop distracting me with questions! Shame on you all. [02:26] UnholyTerror, yes? [02:27] Again, have a nice evening/night/suitable day part and happy troubleshooting. [02:27] joeoshawa: http://i.imgur.com/0X7DC.png [02:27] can't resize it :/ [02:27] that's it... it's called notification-applet i think. [02:27] UnholyTerror, sorry, no vertical hashes on the panel [02:27] Can error msg "FreeType: couldn't find encoding 'iso8859-14' for '/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/Georgia_italic.ttf" be solved by installing some package with synaptic or apt-get? [02:27] Er, although.. one last time. Anyone know much about Firewire networking, specifically improving network performance? [02:28] UnholyTerror, it's just wierd. I have to kill NetworkManager before I can see it. [02:28] can anyone help me with setting up dual monitors? i tried reading stuff but its not helping me at all [02:28] dragonstone, can you pastebin a screen capture with the network manager on the panel? [02:28] quit [02:28] er.. [02:28] Silly me. [02:28] joshua-carmack, what point are you at? [02:29] you already maxed out your partitions so you have to use sub partitions [02:29] UnholyTerror, well i dont know what to say, i just cant even get started [02:29] i think that's what its called [02:29] joshua-carmack, see me in private... [02:30] you got it resized all to hell have you considered buying another drive [02:30] UnholyTerror, sorry it's on another computer. I am not even sure how I would send a screenshot via IRC. [02:30] drives are cheap nowdays [02:30] joeoshawa: I would delete one of those swap partitions and sda5 then make a partition with all that unallocated space. [02:30] is there a way for me to get ubuntu to mount my new usb flash drive which is exfat formatted? I need it to be useable for windows and ubuntu.... [02:30] you could do that [02:30] great idea [02:31] you only need one swap for all linux installs [02:31] dragonstone, the notification-applet looks like little speed bumps, it houses several icons... [02:31] i have ubuntu 64 and 32 both 10.10 and one swap space [02:31] and you want the same swap as physical mem [02:32] however suspend always borks on me so i really don't need any swap [02:33] alright acidentelly unplugged laptop [02:33] Jezek: the reason why you can't resize sda5 is because it is sandwiched between unallocated space. Delete one of the swap partitions (you only need one), also delete sda5, then format all the unallocated space to ext4 and you will be able to use it. [02:34] IdleOne: the swaps have a key next to them.. [02:34] UnholyTerror, I understand what you are reffering to as I see it in Debian but loks like Mint has added some "elegance" so the panel is at the bottom and is completely smooth with no breaks. [02:35] do i do swapoff? [02:35] Jezek: unmount the one you are deleting [02:35] the whole drive must be unmounted [02:35] how? [02:35] that is why i said use a live cd [02:35] joeoshawa: Jezek do this from the Live CD [02:36] IdleOne: im there [02:36] Jezek: you are in gparted now right? [02:36] yes [02:36] and only one swap is necessary for all linux installs [02:36] ok, swap off or unmount. I don't remember the terminology used [02:37] Jezek: also unmount sda5 (that tiny little partition stuck in the middle like a only child) [02:37] ok [02:37] IdleOne: its not mounted [02:37] dragonstone, hmmm.... i have lm10 but not on this machine. [02:38] Jezek: now delete the swap and sda5 [02:38] Jezek: look twice, make sure you are deleting the right partition. [02:38] IdleOne: im already using sda5 [02:38] hi [02:38] Jezek: it has data on it? sda5 that is [02:38] IdleOne: i want to resize a partition i am already using [02:38] UnholyTerror, thanx for the info anyway. might have just given me the direction I needed to figure it out. [02:38] yes [02:39] dragonstone, i'm gonna go fire up the VM and see for myself... [02:39] Jezek: ok. you see the unallocated space to the left of sda5, you want to format that to ext4. after wards you will be able to resize sda5. [02:39] jezek is sda5 a linux install or just space [02:39] Hi. I have an HP Mini 110 with the broadcom 43x series wireless card. I just installed, but I can't see any wireless networks. I have the STA drivers installed. Does anyone know what I need to do to get wireless to work? I'm on the netbook now using an ethernet cable. [02:39] joeoshawa: ubuntu [02:40] crap [02:40] UnholyTerror, ok [02:40] Jezek: sda5 is your ubuntu install? === dos is now known as Guest42649 [02:40] Hello...why Ubuntu is showing some text on the boot process instead of Plymouth???... [02:40] IdleOne: yes [02:40] oh [02:40] IdleOne: how would i move it to ext4 [02:41] Jezek: select the unallocated space then right click and format to ext4. [02:41] IdleOne could he add the unallocated space to sda5 [02:41] IdleOne: format is greyed out [02:41] then resize after [02:41] joeoshawa: yes but it needs to be formated first [02:41] What is the package name that adds all the special visual effects? like the flames and what not. [02:41] damn [02:42] IdleOne: you mean the gray area [02:42] Jezek: correct [02:42] compiz? [02:42] he has 4 main partitions i don't think he can add another [02:42] IdleOne: i cant do anything to that space [02:42] Jezek: why not? [02:42] format to is greyed out [02:42] !compiz | jacobr [02:42] jacobr: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [02:42] jacobr: compizconfig-settings-manager [02:42] does ubuntu support exfat usb sticks?

[02:44] hello! I am trying to install a ra3370 wireless network adapter on ubuntu 10.10. i am partway thru the install and now im stuck. can anyone help? [02:44] what are you stuck on [02:44] hello, is anyone there? [02:44] i know about network adapters but not wireless [02:44] i started with the files on the cd, run tar -xvf the.tar.gz file, cd 2010_0223_RT3370_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.0 , ran 'sudo make' and now idk what to do [02:45] 1377 [02:45] ./configure [02:45] IdleOne: ok [02:45] make [02:45] make install [02:45] UnholyTeror, I still didn't see it but I started right-clicking just to the left of the update icon and got the option to remove. I then re-added and restarted. [02:45] Jezek: you able to format that space now? [02:46] so i found this sick mitsubishi diamond tel car phone thatt came with a dodge my moms bought in 1991 its from the mid 90s..... basically just the headset part with a phone cord that ends in an ethernet input [02:46] IdleOne: the gray box? [02:46] IdleOne: format to is grayed out [02:46] and if anywhere is the place to try n have fin with it its linux [02:46] cr215, I think I know one of your moms... [02:46] haha [02:46] Jezek: there is something you are not doing properly [02:46] Sensenetheru: anything installed from source follows that format ./configure if that does nothing or says nothing to configure move on to make then make install [02:47] IdleOne: did exactly what you said [02:47] where ya from unholyterror [02:47] dragonstone, Land of Magic [02:47] !ot [02:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:48] UnlohyTerror, ok...it's not the notification applet. I have the icon for updates but no network manager....also, I have no network connectivity even though I am hardwired. If i runn the "killall NetworkManager" the icon pops up and says wired network is unmanaged but the wireless works fine. [02:48] Hey guys is it possible to grow a raid 5 array [02:48] @joeoshawa ok, i'll try that [02:48] Jezek: now click on the grey-unallocated space to the left of sda5 [02:48] thaats what i wanna do joeoshawa [02:48] Jezek: right click and you should be able to format to ext4 [02:49] it will prolly be crappy but i just wanna try for fun [02:49] the sound quality i mean [02:49] UnholyTerror, I also notice, on Debian if I run that command the app dies and stays dead. In Ubuntu and Mint it re-launched automatically. [02:49] dragonstone, maybe your wired connectivity is managed by another network manager tool such as wicd or even ifupdown? [02:49] IdleOne: i cant [02:49] there is a guy who has a whole carputer setup using ubuntu it rolls the windows up and down and all sorts of cool stuff they could probably help [02:50] but i might have to open this thing up n see if i can find a way to make power go to it cuz the ethernet cant do that [02:50] Jezek: I am not sure what else to tell you now. Basically you need to format that grey space to ext4 and after you will be able to resize sda5 [02:50] dragonstone, the only thing I can try to tell you is try ##gnome at this point. I'm still looking aroound. [02:50] can someone highlight me please to test something? [02:50] i want to rig a car with controls for everything seats windows door locks ignition everything [02:50] UnholyTerror, I don't have WICD installed but ifdown is possible. This is a fresh install so I have not made any customizations and this seems to be the same behavior for the last thre installs. [02:50] UnHolyTerror, I'll try that..thanks for your help [02:50] hi [02:51] Jezek: the unallocated space is like a blank piece of paper, gparted can see it but it has no value at the moment so doesn't know how to use it. [02:51] IdleOne: cant i use the 28.87 gb of unallocated space? [02:51] oh [02:51] put a fingerprint analizer in the door to open and start the car [02:51] needlez: it worked!!!!! [02:51] hi [02:51] jouoshawa that sounds nice [02:51] IdleOne: i already have 28gb of unallocated space in ext4 [02:51] needlez: Thanks so much for your help!

[02:53] you welcome, and just remember if that happens again what you did to fix it [02:53] cr215 if you can get it working it would probably sound great my buddy has one in his mothers tahoe [02:53] Jezek: http://i.imgur.com/0X7DC.png [02:53] chills518, never heard of exfat, but fat should work [02:53] mine was in a dodge dynasty [02:53] IdleOne: yes that is me [02:53] Crhistoph: no problem.

Why? Anyone knows what I should type to get past that? [02:54] Jezek: ok do you still have the same partitions or did you edit anything? [02:54] how can ı mount cd rom my dvr not workin does it need to be installed or what [02:54] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [02:54] where do I do this [02:54] specify filesystem [02:54] http://i.imgur.com/Akn7p.png [02:54] mount -t type [02:54] ps psycho_oreos [02:54] ty* [02:54] nw [02:55] ooo it ws made in 92 [02:55] is ntfs acceptable?

I heard NTFS wasn't good for flash drives but I guess I may not have a choice.. [02:55] ı need some one to help me pls ım new [02:55] i can see if someone has hacked it [02:55] shadaloo, should be, if not try using fuse iirc.. or just check via cat /proc/filesystem for supported fs types [02:55] Jezek: when you right click on the 14.54GB what options do you have? [02:55] mustafa | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [02:55] psycho_oreos: my nga [02:55] mustafa, Ahlaan , ask away. [02:56] IdleOne: new and information [02:56] thanks [02:56] Jezek: Jezek click new [02:56] err [02:56] chills518, well I have not heard of exfat for sure, iirc windows only supports fat and ntfs but exfat could be something introduced under windows 7 [02:56] anyone know how to change the back shortcut in nautilus of ubuntu 10.04?? [02:56] IdleOne: not possible to create more than 4 [02:56] etc. === incandenza_ is now known as incandenza [02:57] sweet i just got a page hat says which color wire is for what in the diamond tel car phone headset's cord [02:57] jezek you have to add it to another partition [02:57] mustafa, you have not specified what sort of dvd media it is apart from being dvdr, is it blank disc or what? [02:57] * Sary mustafa, for arabic support , you can /join #ubuntu-arabic [02:57] joeoshawa: how.. [02:57] dvdr ım turk not arabic :D [02:58] thought you're , my bad :D [02:58] chills518, another possibility is the option to try and mount it as vfat.. again not that I know it will work with exfat but there's that possibility [02:58] :D [02:58] Jezek: probably remove a partition and make a new one and make two sub-partitons [02:58] joeoshawa, your friends diamondtel car phone from the 80s still has service today?? [02:58] yeah [02:58] dunno if it is the same make and model but it is still working [02:58] joeoshawa: i can't really delete anything [02:58] joeoshawa: what exactly is on sda5, any important files or is it a fresh install of ubuntu? [02:59] ı have dvdr and ıts not working wit xubuntu they say mount it but it cant be mounted [02:59] where did u say u live at [02:59] i mean otown is where? [02:59] Jezek: what exactly is on sda5, any important files or is it a fresh install of ubuntu? [02:59] psycho_oreos: I found a page which talks about a beta for fuse-exfat from ppa:relan/exfat. but I'm kind of new to ubuntu and am not sure about trying this. I will look into your vfat suggestion. [02:59] im in the philly area [02:59] sorry joeoshawa :) [02:59] i remember cause he can use his dads voiceprint [02:59] np [02:59] jezek can you copy the important data of the ubuntu install and reinstall? [02:59] IdleOne: it's just install of ubuntu. not many important files. [03:00] IdleOne: i can't re-install lol. dvd isnt working [03:00] damn [03:00] you have another puter [03:00] Hi All - I am attempting to connect my Samsung T240HD LCD monitor via DIV to my laptop running ubuntu 10.04 (2.6.32-25) and no display is detected when using nvidia-settings (driver 260.19.21, 280M). Has anyone run up against this problem? [03:00] Jezek: you have a USB stick? [03:00] hello does anyone here knows howto turn off instruments in tuxguitar? i would like only the guitar to sound when i hit space =) [03:00] chills518, I had a quick search into exfat via google and found information from wikipedia, it seems as though vfat option via mount wouldn't be supported as this is a relatively new fs.. that ppa page will come in really handy should you decide to acquire exfat support under linux [03:00] IdleOne: somewhere. would it make a diff. if i did a usb install though? [03:01] i've tried with all the various boot options too, it just freezes / hangs up [03:01] Jezek: no but make sure the stick is at least 2 gig and you can boot from it [03:01] tried this [03:01] 1gig no good [03:01] joeoshawa: can i boot without installing anything? [03:02] yeah [03:02] i have 12 dell octoplex's i just got yesterday from my neighbor [03:02] these things are sweet [03:02] Jezek: USB install is the same as a cd install. What you want to do though is during the install select manual partition and make sure you use all that unallocated space. [03:02] psycho_oreos: thanks for the help. being so new to ubuntu I'm nervous about 'trying' things like the fuse-exfat I mentioned as I don't know how to undo changes like that yet.. lol thanks again. I will keep looking. [03:02] his company upgraded the computers n he just brought them home n game em to me [03:02] Jezek: once it is done it is a live cd [03:03] !usb | Jezek [03:03] Jezek: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [03:03] gotta go, thanks for help [03:03] Jezek: how are you using a live cd for partition manager if you have no drive??? [03:03] i called denn and because there corperate they have lifetime support just like this lattitude laptop i dave [03:03] i have a hard drive lol [03:03] lol install from that [03:04] joeoshawa: I don't we were all one the same page with that :) [03:04] how can u change nautilus keyboard shortcuts?? [03:04] like an external? [03:04] I don't think* [03:04] he left [03:04] chills518, well fuse is a extension for supporting new filesystems under linux, it seems as though its basically a framework for new filesystems without having to create the whole mount kaboodle thing.. I suppose the ppa stuff can be removed by simply removing the installed package and then either disable or remove the ppa repository link from your apt config should work [03:05] anyone have any ideas why a computer wont sleep after totem quits playing the movie file [03:05] ?? [03:05] just for arguments sake couldn't he have resized a partition on the drive and made an install cd on it [03:05] i need help i followed some guys advice here http://www.linux.com/archive/forums/topic/3838 concerning fixinv my key ring issue so i did `sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-keyring` and now my wireless is jacked [03:05] ahh [03:06] i had to reinstall networkmanager and got that back up but i no longer have a wireless icon in the top right of my screen [03:06] lol needlez i put mine to sleep anytime i gotta do a hard shutdown [03:06] rachael_, is the notification area still there [03:06] Can someone help me with chroot?

Please, note that most of Ubuntu pling-plings seems to be based on python-2.6. [03:19] In Compiz config, where is the setting to add the flames when minimizing windows?

[03:28] IdleOne, ok [03:28] Diamondcite: not sure, just trying to do it wirelessly [03:28] dauoalagio: Assuming isolation isn't set on the wireless access point, it should work as though it was in a wired network. [03:29] KM0201: im googling around for answers. would a cd burning program that does any file you want work, or does the iso recorder add finishing touches?

[03:36] meekwarrior, I'm presuming ifconfig would tell you if wlan0 is up or not from the list, or you can probably just grep it [03:36] anyone know how to fix this?

[03:41] psycho_oreos thanks for the suggestion is there anyone in there there wasn't last time i went in === Slimp is now known as tubnub [03:41] bonjoyee, no, its because i had a facebook chat plugin installed then i removed it but it left traces in the system [03:41] bonjoyee, trust me its not just the ico file that is the problem [03:41] i will probably get directed back here but worth a try [03:41] bonjoyee, i need to find the dpkg command to clean up the system [03:41] joeoshawa, I don't monitor for those sort of stuff, you might want to also consider asking in ltsp support channels [03:41] glitchd: any other error apart from this?

[04:00] Like if I go to yahoo.com, it will block any ads from appearing. [04:00] the latest I find is 2.6.35 [04:00] Other than manually entering each offending domain. :) [04:01] but I have some issues with it so I'd like to try low-latency, just miss the headers right now [04:01] anyone got any ideas why gnome-power-manager wont put computer to sleep after totem is done playing a movie?? [04:01] 37 sounds like either experimental distro version you are using, i.e. 11.04 [04:02] any thoughts for my question? :) [04:02] well it might be worth trying apparently [04:02] hi all. mi p4 thermal sensors give erroreous readings. Always says 69º, even in idle (i touched the heatsink and it may be about 20º). Now im running 4 instances of cpuburn + glxgears = full load (sysmon shows 0% cpu idle).

[04:06] which doesn't act like twats the minute someone mentions the proprietary Nvidia drivers [04:06] delf__, well that's what google search yielded [04:06] is this true? [04:06] mlakics: There may be a ff plugin to do what you want but I don't leave it up to the browser to block ads. That way any browser can be used on my network without having to add plugins, etc. If you [04:06] man being ignored on three channels is so great [04:06] mlakics, if you want to stop advertisements, try adblock. and, you can disable all "offending" pics right clicking on it and selecting an option in the appearing menu... [04:06] mlakics: ... are interested in what I'm doing to block ads, let me know. [04:07] joeoshawa, its not that you're being ignored, it just happens to be that nobody at the time of your query knows of an answer, have you tried ltsp support channel like I said before? [04:07] @robp-i'm very interested. hate how yahoo and others get soo pushy with ads. [04:07] I have an Ubuntu laptop that stops responding when booting up. It will change between consoles with ctrl-alt-FN but pressing enter in the console would not even enter a blank line. The last printed line when booting up in recovery mode was "Skipping EDID probe due to cached edid". Any ideas what might be wrong? [04:07] that is one of the three [04:07] @felix - i will definately try adblock thx [04:08] four if you count ubuntu admin channel but me and one person were in there [04:08] joeoshawa, hmm, maybe the usual people aren't available to comment, I'd stick around a bit longer before asking in their support forums or something [04:08] hi all. mi p4 thermal sensors give erroreous readings.

The local DNS serves out special responses to any queries to those domains. The resolver returns the IP of a local pixel server for each of the offending domains. That way, for every ad, the browser simply gets a 1x1 transparent pixel!

It also keeps frames from showing 404s and missing graphics, etc. It's really pretty seamless and the database of known ad domains is kept up to date via a weekly cron job and script. [04:14] glitchd_: then try installing the deb again!

[04:28] anyone know whats that about, and if i should just remove the source? [04:28] boreal: try running sudo apt-get update now and if you get those errors still [04:28] yeah i still get the errors [04:28] @robp - is there a "walkthru" or example script or something you could provide or point me towards? I am not that good with networking scripts/dns things etc... [04:28] boreal: comment out that ppa and then try [04:29] boreal: then that means the site is forbidden and those ppa should be removed [04:29] boreal: try opening that link in a browser.. [04:29] can someone help me? [04:29] boreal: site doesnt exist [04:29] boreal: most probably that ppa site is down [04:29] thats why [04:29] opening in browser doesn't work, says links are broken [04:29] lolz_h3lpz, what is your problem?

I think it starts with 'c', does anyone know what its called? [04:31] mlakics: Do you have local DNS provided by bind9 or dnsmasq? If so, then you can do what I'm doing. If not, it may not be worth the effort of putting up a server to do it. [04:31] but not the linux side [04:31] r00t4rd3d, u were helping me earlier to fix a package that didnt fully remove and was causing me errors [04:31] hello/?

[04:33] Coolslai: ok. shoot [04:33] mlakics: Perhaps my suggestion is overkill for your needs. I offered it as an option on the chance that you already had a local server for your network, etc. [04:33] from UK , Germany , France ...

[04:38] i dont know [04:39] Coolslai, have you even tried booting from that CD on that computer? [04:39] how? [04:39] Coolslai: most probably the iso file is corrupt and the way to check this is using the md5 hash of the downloaded file. [04:40] how? [04:40] Coolslai: we'll get to that later. have you changed the boot order in the bios so that it boots from the dvd? [04:40] no i havent, how do i do that....

What you can do, however is eliminate the swap the put it at the end and then you should be able to expand you linux partition [05:07] Coolslai: one moment. i'll give you the md5 hash [05:07] ok [05:07] will that mess up the install?

Not really a big problem these days as memory is soo cheap [05:10] mkquist: on a laptop [05:10] Jezek: dont matter [05:11] Doinkle, you could chroot into the existing ubuntu install using the livecd and then reset the password. i think it would work.

[05:12] Jezek: probably enough, but, like I said, just kill the swap and make a new one if your worried. I would just for the 'why not'.. then you can add the adjacent extra space to your linux install [05:12] im on another ubuntu box so i can hang here while i try it [05:12] mkquist: do i click in the unalocated space and add the swap there [05:12] HeTaL: drop down to root then run the command that should make it work [05:13] Jezek: remove the swap and make a new one at the end of the partition [05:13] needlez: I ran sudo -i, and reran it, and same problem [05:13] HeTaL: sudo cp /usr/share /media/flashdrive/copied_stuff where flash_drive is your external backup device [05:13] Jezek: youll have your old swap and the extra space combined to work with...

[05:43] rigved, I mean is the popularity mostly from the new users and the ease to install? I remember the days of a stage1 install of gentoo taking two days... I have fallen on the wagen in my recent years due to business but would like to continue my passion of linux is ubunto a place to start off or just continue with distro i know well like slackware or gentoo [05:43] kaii, sudo lshw [05:43] dnivra: No, kernel parameters are interpreted by the kernel, so they will be the same no matter what bootloader you use. [05:43] HP_PAVILION (C:) , Local Disk (F:) [05:43] HP_PAVILION (C:) , Local Disk (F:) -rigved [05:43] dnivra: Determine your normal system partition... what would that be? [05:43] but two different hard drives [05:43] i have a lot of partitions [05:43] i found a chinese one also called YImf [05:43] but its not as good [05:43] rigved I am sure i have forgotten a lot but at the same time i should be able to recall the core structure of the distros. [05:44] Anyone have HL2 working with Wine in Ubuntu? [05:44] rigved - theere is also a norton backup drive [05:44] Hi, does anyone know how to build a debian package with maintainer scripts included? [05:44] Jordan_U, hmmm. yeah good point. i wonder if it still exists then. there is no 'ro quiet splash' in grub2 i know that. [05:44] vantage: ubuntu is really simple its easier then Gentoo or at least I think so [05:44] vantage: yse it's because of the ease. don't you want to move to more important things than installing. use ubuntu and you can concentrate on other things :) [05:44] unholyterror okay found *-network and it lists all the info for it, not sure what exactly to look at though? [05:44] Jezek, the partition where your Ubuntu installation exists. [05:45] dnivra: "ro quiet splash" are default kernel parameters in Ubuntu, that hasn't changed with grub2 either. [05:45] dnivra then it said: /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea.. [05:45] Coolslai: so C on one drive and F on the flash drive? [05:45] wireless [05:45] Needlez i guess my question should be is the functionallity there... i am sure it is.... [05:45] Jezek, i think you got the wrong partition then. [05:45] Removable Disk (D:) is my flash drive [05:45] dnivra: is it the parent partition? [05:45] Jezek: Install to the mbr, like /dev/sda, *not* to a partition like /dev/sda1. [05:45] hi, I have a problem with my ubuntu. I install ubuntu I'm using VMware workstation. but when I want to use my wifi, aircrack problem can not be detected. do u have a solution?? [05:45] Coolslai: ok. so what is F drive? [05:45] Jordan_U, i don't find those options as is. hmmm i gotta work and see if it is still possible.

[05:47] yes [05:47] i'm new to ubuntu and having a problem. hoping someone can help. i have vista installed. i just installed ubuntu to an empty drive. after the install, windows booted.

[05:55] UnholyTerror: this is why i'm qualifying this statement with "while WIndows is running" [05:55] cuz i hear my hard drive working -rigved [05:55] Skater0Guy: dunno about mac, windows you enable file sharing, linux you enable samba [05:55] kaii: courious what kind of computer is it you have??

I want to upload some videos on youtube [05:57] let you know what i get it all working [05:57] industry__, you said 'Windows is always installed on drive C'. Windows calls the drive C everytime it boots. [05:58] hi all, is there a simple note app or todo list that *sticks on the desktop*? [05:58] !tomboy [05:59] clu3: tomboy notes should [05:59] Semantics. While in Windows, Windows is installed on drive C. When Windows boots it calls the drive it is installed on drive C. Therefore my statement is correct. [05:59] needlez, will it still remain the notes after i shut down the computer? [05:59] which is that while Windows is running, it is always installed on drive C. [06:00] needlez thanks again for the suggestion :) should work, forgot that I was 2 operating systems behind lol [06:00] still incorrect === gidimanunaki is now known as Guest11850 [06:00] clu3: or you could go to panel and add sticky notes === Guest11850 is now known as gidim [06:00] you can install windows on J: if you please [06:00] clu3: tomboy is the notes app, but it doesn't stick like the windows 7 notes do because it doesn't work from a bar [06:00] i'm amazed you're still on that [06:00] clu3: *sidebar [06:00] kaii: your welcome, i always update to newest afew weeks after it comes out usually cuz it has improvements those are some of them [06:01] clu3, cairo-dock has notes but i have not tried it out. [06:01] needlez, rigved thanks, i used something like sticky note on Windows and it's pretty neat. I'll try your suggestions [06:01] I´m chinese ,who can introduce me an software to translate from english to chinese easily [06:01] clu3, screenlets have a tomboy screenlet that can stick to the desktop [06:01] rigved - my comp rebooted [06:01] i chose ubuntu [06:01] yealin: http://translate.google.com ? [06:02] Coolslai: did you get the ubuntu login screen? [06:02] yealin, http://translate.google.com/# [06:02] :( [06:02] Anyone, I have installed 10.10 on an old Dell Inspiron 8200 which ran 9.04 Ok; under 10.10, the fan is always on even with CPU load about 3%. What controls the fan? [06:02] rigved- nope not yet [06:02] sure, whatever, i'm wrong. i should've known this because i once did an XP install where Windows was on the H drive. I stand corrected. [06:02] Coolslai, you are booted into linux now? [06:02] no [06:02] clu3, cairo-dock has a nice applet for tomboy notes. [06:02] everything is blank [06:03] Coolslai: i don't remember but i don't think that wubi takes too much time to boot the first time. you should wait and see [06:03] is this an exceptionally bad error to get?: EISA: Cannot allocate resource for mainboard , for Bus 0? [06:03] just tried tomboy. it seems too much , i just want something like a basic todo list, it will always stays on my desktop somewhere, even when i shutdown the computer, until i delete the item by hand... [06:03] rigved- okay, ill wait like 10 min then ill come back [06:03] after I unlock my screen, it gets immediately locked again automatically. basically, i need to unlock two times. pls help [06:03] rigved - or is that too long? [06:04] Coolslai: ok [06:04] Coolslai: fine [06:04] Coolslai: there's a ton of todo apps, many of them very basic [06:04] clu3, that is what the tomboy screenlet is for [06:04] grrrrrr [06:04] I use er yeah clu3 [06:04] clu3: then go to the panel an click add to panel there should be something in there called sticky notes or sticky try those, or try screenlets [06:05] Does anyone know how to get the computer to enter sleep mode after a movie plays in totem automatically?? [06:06] thankyou [06:06] Does anyone know how to get the computer to enter sleep mode after a movie plays in totem automatically?? [06:07] needlez: try making a script that runs the movie, and then executes /etc/acpi/sleep.sh [06:07] needlez, thanks a lot !! the sticky note panel is very close to what i want. Will it remain after i reboot? (Sorry i can't try shutting down, i'm in the middle of downloading something) [06:07] clu3: I have no idea if it will stay [06:08] Hello all, I have a problem while trying to mount a disk... the disk shows in bios, it shows in lshw -short, doesn't show in fdisk -l, it is inside /dev (/dev/sdd1) and i tried to open gparted, and it gives the following error: "Input/output error during read on /dev/sdd1" - is there a way to recover the disk, or at least the data inside it? [06:08] needlez: yes and you can give the movie name as input to the script also ^^ [06:08] needlez, ok thanks [06:08] how do i specify a certain version / distro of a package? for instance - i want the 0.13.2-0 version of rhythmbox at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox [06:08] * clu3 trying screenlets [06:08] HeTaL: as for making a script to do that I watch movies every nite when i go to bed I want this to be an auto function that I dont have to modify everytime for every different movie [06:09] needlez: It can take in an argument like rigved said. [06:09] Supply the location of the movie as the argument. [06:09] HeTaL: ok ill have to try that [06:10] needlez: If you need help, pm me. [06:11] rigved - still nothing [06:11] wil be back [06:11] Coolslai: what computer do you have? RAM? Graphics Card? [06:12] :D [06:12] 1 sec i gotta reboot to find out, but i have 2 GB of RAM [06:12] u want me to reboot to find out? [06:13] So I'm getting a nasty error on boot now for my install that I can't open /dev/xconsole or /dev/mem and gdm and dbus immediately terminate. http://pastebin.com/Jv6yBFmD [06:13] this is on boot [06:13] Coolslai: you don't need to reboot to find out [06:13] ?? [06:14] Coolslai: yes. reboot into windows and find out if you do not know [06:14] kk [06:14] Coolslai: lspci [06:15] and system-monitor will tell you how much ram you have and what your processor is [06:15] run lspci in your terminal and look for the graphics card [06:15] yeah, i have a blank screen that will help alot :P [06:15] oh [06:15] lol [06:15] libc6 is broken. greeeat [06:15] Coolslai: did you try ctrl+alt+F1? [06:16] no? [06:16] Coolslai: brb [06:16] You might get a terminal that way [06:16] kk [06:17] hi how do I install pidgin screenlet on ubuntu from the tar.gz? [06:17] jorgon: the tar might have a README file in it. [06:17] telling you where to install it [06:18] it doesnt Maahes, I checked [06:18] !compile | jorgon [06:18] jorgon: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [06:19] I don't think screenlets are compiled, I think you just dump them into whatever /home/.folder screenlets uses for screenlets. [06:19] as root, I cannot delete a tap0 device ... tunctl -d tap0 gets : TUNSETIFF: Device or resource busy [06:19] how do i specify a certain version / distro of a package? for instance - i want the 0.13.2-0 version of rhythmbox at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox [06:19] ah I ll try that Maahes , thanks [06:20] what the hell does one have to do to get rid of a tap0 device that has no ip address, and is ifconfig down'd and all? [06:21] anyone have a clue where tap devices are persisted between reboots? [06:21] anon33_: in synaptic, go to properties for the package, there's a force version setting [06:21] mistergibson, /etc/network/interfaces ???? [06:21] nope [06:21] mistergibson: I have no experience with taps but try unloading modules? [06:21] not even mentioned [06:22] Maahes: is there a way to do it from the command line === Sup|Lobby is now known as Guest57403 [06:22] anon33_: yes but I don't know it ^_^ [06:22] The standards you have for categorizing me as equal or above that which is tolerable are based on my ability to meet your personal standard. That personal standard states that my ability to meet a standard at my own will, matters in this matter. The matter being your initial decision about the relevance of standards. idle_one [06:22] IdleOne HAH [06:22] aptitude has an interactive ncurses synaptic basically for the command line [06:22] does anyone know how to specify version # ofrom the command line? === ghost is now known as Guest53587 [06:23] anon33_: I think it always takes the latest version [06:23] go to the project's site to get older version, and compile + install yourself [06:23] If I want to make a partition to install windows 7, it has to be ntfs, right? [06:23] toastedmilk: Yes [06:23] toastedmilk, ##windows [06:23] HeTaL: for your distro - i'm looking to grab the natty one [06:24] !windows [06:24] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [06:24] anon33_: for the purpose of this package though, does it matter that you can't do it from the command line? otherwise: you want to look at the man pages for apt [06:25] how can i put music on m ipod touch with rhythm box [06:25] Maahes: i'd like to be able to do it from the command line [06:25] why is 32bit "recommended" ? [06:26] cypha: because it works on 32bit and 64bit computers, and many people don't know the difference and get confused, so we point them to something that'll work. [06:26] cypha: if you know you can use 64bit, feel free to do so :) [06:26] heh === rs0832_ is now known as rs0832 [06:27] how can i put music on my ipod touch with rhythm box [06:27] most people also don't know that they should change there kernel to one that fits there chipset [06:27] i.e kerne i386 i686 etc [06:27] The default kernel works fine. Chipset-specific kernels do not give a large enough speed increase for it to be worth the effort. [06:27] and the ubuntu kernel and fairly bloated [06:28] on normal systems and usage, anyway [06:28] Rigved, u back? [06:28] rww when you're running a pentium 3 it matters a great deal [06:28] rigved : http://paste.ubuntu.com/546832/ [06:28] also if you're running multiple processors [06:29] knite: 1) not really, 2) perhaps we should take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:29] hello.. I would like to ask assistance in opening a .pkg file in ubuntu [06:29] not pfft [06:29] what specific program shall i use to open such file? [06:30] rastaval, package manager i would think [06:30] it doesn't work [06:30] rww, is there something more difficult with the 64 bit version compared to 32bit? [06:30] opps sorry [06:30] rastaval, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/add-applications/C/install-file.html [06:30] cypha: I use it. In my experience, there's no notable difference between the two. [06:30] i haven't tried that on. [06:30] i haven't tried that one* [06:31] thanks Doinkle [06:31] rww, is it faster? [06:31] cypha: Depends on what you're doing. Some specialized stuff is faster; normal desktop usage is not. [06:31] cypha: if you have more than 4 GB of memory than 64bit [06:32] rww, as long as it's not slower in any respect [06:32] i have 2gb memory [06:32] core i5 [06:32] hi all [06:32] cypha: again, I haven't experienced any noticible difference [06:32] cypha: 64bit doesn't give you anything [06:32] gobbe: and Ubuntu does PAE now, so the 4GB thing isn't even a major problem :\ [06:32] cypha: if you are not doing hard math with your cpu :) [06:32] im finding 64 bit (maverick) to be too buggy to bother with anymore..and I got 8gb [06:32] gobbe heh [06:32] rww: yea, nut it's still case where i would think 64bit [06:33] doinkle is on yo something rww [06:33] rww, thats what im thinking..im going back to 32 bit for now [06:33] Doinkle: Buggy in what way? Other than flash I can't think of anything that should be different. [06:33] the kicker is my flash runs great once i installed it from adobe. [06:33] psycho_oreos: well the usb flash drive works for both systems.. but for some reason I can't do the usb ubuntu install from it. The files are all there but when I hit f12 to choose boot device I don't get the usb option when I use the new 64GB one. it works on 4GB flash drive... weird.. [06:34] i have odd bs problems,. sometimes my expo just simply doesnt work(compiz), firefox autocomplete just stops working. my suspend dont work on all kernels [06:34] rww: but it's... ;) cannot type correctly =) [06:34] little bs things.. [06:34] my 32 bit version(maverick) at work is solid as a rock. [06:34] Jordan_U, this was for you :) [06:35] so? Computers differ. I doubt Firefox and Compiz care about 32vs64bitness. [06:35] rigved : http://paste.ubuntu.com/546832/ [06:35] kernels matter more [06:35] Doinkle: It's more a conceptual thing, most code is going to run through almost exactly the same logic with 32 and 64 bit. [06:35] Flash, sure, because it's non-free so we have to jump through (nspluginwrapper) hoops with the stable version, but apart from that... [06:36] what is he talking about [06:36] (and Flash on 64-bit Ubuntu works fine for me *shrug*) [06:37] Jordan_U, i want to see it that way, but i still have too many issues in 64bit :/ [06:37] Coolslai: ya [06:37] ? [06:37] Doinkle: What type of issues? [06:37] #ddddddddd [06:37] i just typed them out above [06:37] anyone know how i can use my ubuntu laptop as a wireless bridge [06:38] doinkle cpu speed stepping doesn't work for me [06:38] Coolslai: it does not have any mention about the graphics card of you computer [06:38] Coolslai: your paste [06:38] lemme check again [06:40] has anyone ever gotten a custom kernel to install on ubuntu lucid? [06:40] the 248GB NTFS partition my raw disk image only has about 20GB used, but gparted is only letting me shave off 10MB. I'd like it down to 100GB. [06:40] !kernel | knite [06:40] knite: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [06:40] rigved : this is what i did *right click* My computer>manage>device manager> video adapters> NVidia GeForce 6150 LE [06:41] * rww giggles at "if you're convinced you do" [06:41] ok i have GENERAL wifi question [06:41] those help files are crap [06:41] :) [06:41] Coolslai: ok. let me check that card [06:41] majnoon: what is your wifi question?? [06:41] kk [06:42] if router is 802.11b/g and i have card set to b/g/n could that cause the card to drop the connection ??

[06:43] Coolslai: how long ago did you buy the nvidia card? [06:44] ummmm i believe it came with the computer [06:44] majnoon: it doesnt matter cuz the card is set to b/g/n so it picks up b or g or N and router will only transfer at b or g so yes the should pick up fine... I have a question how far away from router are you or is there a brick wall in front of you?? [06:44] pooltable, did it work before? [06:44] just reg walls and about 20 ft from router [06:44] just install it [06:45] Coolslai: was that more than 4 years ago? [06:45] ummmm 2002 so im guessing yeah [06:45] majnoon: strange could be bad router or possible bad support for card, not too sure [06:45] or any other way to track santa fo the kids ? [06:45] it usb [06:45] majnoon_, have you recycled the power on your router recently? Just to check..

[07:03] can anyone help me with pinning packages [07:03] oh yeah, true, but im not used to the internet GUI im use to NNScript mIRC so i just made a room [07:03] bg2010: Some longtime ubuntu users here now...just ask the question [07:03] i installed 10.10. i had a free drive... windows is on my c drive. i intalled it to d drive. it will not boot. windows keeps booting. my bios does not let me change the boot drive. i'm pretty much out of ideas now. i'm not going to remove windows, so i really don't know what else i can do. [07:04] your bios has to let you change it [07:05] bg2010: Do you know how to use grub2 and have you read the FAQ to set up your boot order and look at your boot file? [07:05] bg2010, have you booted into the ubuntu live cd? [07:05] Ben64 there is no option in my bios to change it. it only lets me reorder drives to boot from. the only option is "hard drive". it won't let me specify. maybe because i am on a laptop, i'm not sure. [07:05] yes, the live cd works [07:05] bg2010: grub is the key [07:06] bg2010: how do you have 2 drives in a laptop [07:06] bg2010, are you in it now? these problems can usually be fixed best from the live cd [07:06] bg2010: it enables you to boot both linux and windows [07:06] bg2010: try booting from an ubuntu live CD [07:06] i'm not sure how to get grub on there. i figure dit would install itself [07:06] bg2010, you could swap the drives physically, no? [07:06] oh yeah, true, but im not used to the internet GUI im use to NNScript mIRC so i just made a room - rigved, well im going to sleep gn [07:06] laptop. can not access drives unfortunately [07:06] ok ben how do i just look on a hard drive it just look on the system drive i have a drive with all my back up on but for got what i cal it [07:06] oops, i hit up >.< [07:06] Coolslai: ok. gn [07:06] pooltable: what? [07:07] ok, i am not in live right now. if i go into the live cd, do you think i can install grub somehow? [07:07] bg2010, yes [07:07] bg2010: yes [07:07] bg2010: If you are dual booting you should definitely invest the time in learning how to use grub [07:07] i have a question [07:07] bg2010, you can't open the covers and swap the drives? [07:07] how do i look up on my externial hadr drive? [07:07] come back in here from live cd [07:07] hard [07:08] ok. thanks i will come back from the live cd. i can't access the laptop. i've tried before... no idea how to open it. i think it requires special tools [07:08] alright brb [07:08] pooltable: external drives should show up in "Places" [07:08] bg2010: grub2 is probably on your system, you just need to drop down the grub prompt [07:08] i have a question [07:08] jordan, ask away:) [07:08] hello guys. i install wondershaper. everytime i login ubuntu, i must type "sudo wondershaper eth0 200 150" in terminal. how to run it automatically everytime i login computer without asking a password?

[07:49] sreeju, and did you connect the usb cable? [07:50] ya connected [07:50] Ben64, I think I have this. but I don't know if I really have it. By the spec from internet, it shows I have this card. I just want to prove it. [07:50] QUitone, you haven't tryed hitting any keys yet? Yes... hit DEL key like 89x or F2 or ESc or F5 may be? if that doesn't work then try the suggested "hard Reset" [07:50] satish, it doesnt support dcc [07:50] i am taking internet from the phone [07:50] im trying to download my gmail emails to evolution and i have ALOT of emails but it doesn't work and doesn't report an error [07:50] sreeju, and what is gmobilemedia for? [07:51] hey so i installed ies4linux but i cant find out how to access the programs [07:51] sgo11: well 90% chance you have it [07:51] for browsing my mobile memory [07:51] the card just isn't saying what it is [07:51] hi [07:51] you could look up by laptop model number sgo11 [07:51] sreeju, and what is the problem you are having? [07:52] sreeju, (sorry to ask so many questions):) [07:52] u give me laptop [07:52] Guest39371: this channel isn't for requesting charity items, this is for Ubuntu supprot. for other topic you may want to try #ubuntu-offtopic, or other channels. [07:52] sale for me [07:52] Ben64, this is a desktop... thanks for the help. but do you have any further ideas on checking this with ubuntu OS? [07:52] buwhahahah [07:52] Guest39371, who are you talking to? [07:52] Guest39371: did you have a Ubuntu support question? [07:52] Everyone [07:52] Guest39371, no one here is selling anythin [07:52] sgo11: how old is it [07:52] i dont know the connecting settings in gmobilemedia [07:52] Ben64, very new. [07:52] sgo11: and couldn't you look up by desktop model number? [07:53] as i send you in the screenshot [07:53] Hello, i'm little confused, in ubuntus webpage there are two version of ubuntu, 32 bit and amd64 bit, what if i have intel 64? [07:53] or motherboard model [07:53] has anyone installed ies4linux on ubuntu 10 [07:53] allu2: amd64 is the name for all 64-bit architechtures [07:53] sreeju, did you just press ok? (in the window in the screenshot) [07:53] Ben64, I can. but I don't trust. I just trust to check it by myself..... [07:53] i want to use it like a nokia pc suite [07:53] Myrtti: thats just confusing :P [07:53] allu2: it's named as such because AMD had 64-bit first [07:53] but thanks :) [07:53] sgo11: well the card isn't returning the exact name of it, so unless you want to look things up, you're out of luck [07:53] allu2: eipä kestä [07:54] btw, do I need to install any drivers for the intel graphic card? how to check if the current driver working properly? thanks. [07:54] sreeju, do you know for sure if gmobile media supports your phone? [07:54] sgo11: type "glxgears" in terminal [07:54] dont know [07:54] sgo11, no. i have a intel graphics card and it works fine. [07:54] if you see spinning gears, it works, including 3d [07:54] Ben64, ok. thanks. give it up with OS level checking... [07:55] Ben64, I don't have glxgears command ... [07:55] :( [07:55] sreeju, ok.. first dont change any settings in the window.. [07:55] isn't glxgears installed by default?? [07:55] dnivra, thanks. but how to check if it's actually working with the right driver? [07:55] ok === hekos is now known as Hekos [07:56] dnivra, it seems it doesn't install by default. [07:56] sreeju, only click the browse button for the option 'Errors Logfile' [07:56] sgo11: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils [07:56] sgo11: then glxgears :D [07:56] then [07:56] glxgears _should_ be on by default [07:56] great easy way to check if video drivers work [07:57] sreeju, this will save any error messages to a text file.. so select a place and filename to store the error log as [07:57] Ben64, the gears come out. does it mean it's working? [07:57] yeah [07:57] Ben64, but why my ubuntu doesn't install it by default? this is just a freshinstall 10.10 yesterday. [07:57] if you leave it running for a bit, it will tell you frames per second [07:57] sgo11: idk, not many people use it maybe? [07:58] oh, when i try to connect with that settings, it shows no response from host,probably no phone connected error [07:59] sreeju, hmm.. open the error log file [07:59] ok let me check [07:59] Ben64, ok. it seems my graphic card is working fine. but just wondering if any other ways to check the driver in ubuntu? thanks. [08:00] Ben64, sgo11 i have a 10.10 64bit. i didn't install it by default i can tell you that. [08:00] sgo11: basically try anything 3d : / [08:00] Ben64, what about any command to show which driver I am currently using? [08:00] Ben64, thx, while that didn't do the trick. it got me trying stuff and all is well. [08:00] dnivra, thanks. mine is 64bit too. [08:01] how do you register with nickserv?

(this is error) [08:04] Vinu: you need to install video drivers, but not with the .run file [08:04] Ben64, yeah. thanks. I found glxinfo will show something as well. [08:04] teluge, redownloading may also fix this.. the file on your computer is damaged not the one on the server [08:04] RORgasm: should be enabled by default [08:04] Ben64, yeah that's what i thought [08:04] how to install video drivers...? [08:04] Ben64, i can't even enable desktop effects [08:05] diagramma: could be ram, bad hard drive/cd drive, all kinds of things [08:05] sreeju, sorry :( [08:05] RORgasm: try "glxgears" in the terminal [08:05] k [08:05] Ben64, k one sec [08:05] :( [08:05] Hey, How can I startx on boot ?

[08:06] GinTonic: try sudo? [08:07] RORgasm: weird [08:07] Good night :-) [08:07] Im experiencing some trouble configuring nfs. Could anyone help me? I already did the configuration and I execute a DOS program from the remote PC. But it crash. The support from the soft says that is "permissons problem" [08:08] teluge, just in case you want to know :) .. the problem you are having can happen if either your internet connection is not funtioning properly or if the program that is downloading the file makes any mistakes/errors [08:08] yes ,root user [08:08] GinTonic: in single user mode you are running as root, you have to sudo it in normal mode [08:09] yes ,i did [08:10] apt-get is mormal days ago, when i upgrade system to squeeze ,it doesn't work [08:10] Ben64, i think i might have installed some nvidia and ati drivers by mistake at some point a year or so ago on this maching [08:10] trying to find them and uninstall [08:11] mindaugas [08:11] taip [08:11] claused [08:11] closed [08:11] RORgasm: what version of ubuntu is it? [08:12] 10.10 [08:12] GinTonic: give a bit more information about "doesn't work", any error message? [08:12] Ben64, was someone trying to find which intel drivers they have? if you'll still need it, the ubuntu intel drivers are mentioned here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedDrivers#Intel [08:13] RORgasm: open synaptic, search for xserver-xorg-video [08:13] hello, i have an urgent problem [08:13] my mouse doesn't work "proprietly" [08:13] remove any ati or nvidia ones, and install the intel one if it isn't [08:13] i'm uninstalling some ati drivers right now...one sec [08:13] cosmin_, propreitly? [08:13] it moves on the screen but i can click only the top panel [08:14] "well" [08:14] good [08:14] Hi, just install google-chrome from google.com. I remembered flash is built-in on chrome. but currently, chrome shows "missing-plugin" for flash. why? [08:14] it doesn't work [08:14] hey [08:14] nvidia not working? [08:14] cosmin_, was this from bootup? [08:14] sgo11: flash isn't built in for linux [08:15] yes [08:15] i have a question [08:15] i have an wireless mouse [08:15] from logitech [08:15] neither is google's pdf viewer IIRC [08:15] OK, same qeustion diffrent way, X does not start on boot, I have to type startx , Ubuntu 10.10, how can I change htis ? [08:15] htis=this [08:15] sgo11: something to note though: Chromium is exactly the same minus a few files like that, and it doesn't phone home about your activities to google (which chrome does) [08:16] cosmin_: try putting the receiver in another usb slot [08:16] i tried, the same problem [08:16] Maahes, really? I tried ubuntu-netbook first. chrome has flash builtin. now, I installed ubuntu-desktop today, chrome doesn't support flash. why are ubuntu-netbook and ubuntu-desktop different for chrome installation? I install both of them from google.com/chrome [08:16] anyone here have issues installing ubuntu 10.10? [08:16] Shadownecros, what kind of issues? [08:16] should i restart and try again? [08:16] sgo11: yes it does chrome-extras package. [08:16] nvidia drivers showing error? [08:17] cosmin_, did you try restarting before? or is this the first time it happened? [08:17] !anyone | Shadownecros [08:17] Shadownecros: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:17] Maahes, so what to do to make my chrome in desktop to support flash? thanks a lot. [08:17] downloaded the iso off the ubuntu website 2 days ago, burned it, and it started up and crashed my computer twice, redonloaded last night and burned today, and i was watching a grey screen for about 45 min before i gave up on trying to install [08:17] sgo11, you have to install adobe-flashplugin from the repos [08:18] the first time on ubuntu 10.10 :) a few weeks ago it happend on another version of ubuntu [08:18] redownloaded* [08:18] sgo11: yes: basically you just need to install the flashplugin-nonfree plugin [08:18] !md5 | Shadownecros [08:18] Shadownecros: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [08:18] chromium-extras installs it for you [08:18] Shadownecros, did you do that^^? [08:18] Maahes, thanks. can you explain a little bit further to me why ubuntu-netbook don't need to do this extra work? [08:18] i did, but ill try again [08:18] Shadownecros, the md5sums match? [08:18] ive turned on my computer this morning and so the problem started [08:19] they did [08:19] cosmin_, did it stop subsequently? or did the problem persist (on the other version) [08:19] on both of the iso's i downloaded [08:19] the problem persisted on the other version, so i reinstalled ubuntu :D [08:19] it seens that now its working [08:19] Shadownecros, i think it may be a burning problem then [08:19] the problem is solved :-s [08:20] cosmin_, ok maybe some program may be interfering temporarily then :) [08:20] btw, what is the different between flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree? [08:20] i used the same program to burn another version on linux and it installed fine with same hardware and settings [08:20] Shadownecros, not the program [08:20] Shadownecros, the speed [08:20] hope not, because i was using just firefox [08:20] Shadownecros, try burning at a lower speed :) [08:20] sgo11: Effectively none. [08:20] thanks for the help [08:20] have a nice day [08:20] cosmin_, :) [08:21] ahh kk, ill try again then if i have the same issue ill be back =P thanks guys [08:21] cosmin_, you too [08:21] sgo11: I'm pretty sure you might have triggered something to download it. either that or netbook uses gnash by default (not adobe's flash) [08:21] Jordan_U, thanks. if they are the same, why there are two packages in the repo? I am confused. [08:22] sgo11, one may be a metapackage or something [08:22] Maahes, ok. I will check my netbook edition tonight. thanks. [08:22] rs0832, ok, thanks. [08:22] let me install flashplugin-nonfree first. [08:22] sgo11: The package now called flashplugin-installer used to be called flashplugin-nonfree. They changed the name to more accurately reflect what it was, and at the same time they made a new package with the old name, flashplugin-nonfree, that does nothing but depend on the flashplugin-installer package so taht people who previously had flashplugin-nonfree installed will get flashplugin-installer when they upgrade. [08:23] i'm back :)) [08:23] cosmin_, same problem? [08:23] ok my problem is still with winetricks.... I just tried installing corefonts via the gui and i got this.... [08:23] Note: command 'wget -O arial32.exe -nd -c --read-timeout=300 --retry-connrefused --header Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/arial32.exe' returned status 1. Aborting. [08:23] when i use an aplication on the web with adobe flash player [08:23] Jordan_U, oh. got it. thanks a lot for the detail explanation. I will install flashplugin-installer then. :) [08:23] mouse does't work [08:23] :) [08:23] sgo11: You're welcome :) === dad_ is now known as Guest89567 [08:23] cosmin_, ok.. are you using the default provided flash? [08:23] yes [08:24] cosmin_, try using adobe's flash [08:24] :) this is the provided flash [08:24] cosmin_, you just missed an informative conversation about it :) [08:24] is it possible to have the computer make a noise before going to sleep due to inactivity? [08:24] :D [08:24] if my router hands out addresses in the range 192.168.1.1/24 and I have a device on 192.1.1.200 - will i be able to access it? [08:25] i'm listening to music on it right now, reading mail [08:25] cosmin_, flashplugin-installer from the repos(synaptic/apt) [08:25] and i don't want it to sleep due to inactivity [08:25] when i try to run nvidia it showing like this"run `nvidia-xconfig` as root"wat to do? [08:25] i will make an update [08:25] an see what is happening [08:25] cosmin_, ok [08:25] brb [08:25] and i could go change the setting, but i'd rather have it alert me that it's about to go to sleep so i can take action if i don't want that [08:25] Vinu, sudo nvidia-xconfig [08:26] I'm going to add SSD disk to my Ubuntu computer. Is there any known problems with PCI-E based SSD disks in Ubuntu?Or should I prefer SSD disk with SATA interface to achieve maximum compatibility with Ubuntu OS? I use Ubuntu Server 8.04 now, but I'm ready to upgrade to 10.10 if necessary. [08:26] Vinu: you're doing it the wrong way [08:26] why didn't you just let ubuntu install nvidia for you [08:26] you are going to end up with a broken install likely next kernel update [08:26] al_nz1: no. unless you manually map an IP on your PC in the same range as the device you want to reach and have it on the same switch [08:27] al_nz1: most likely you will be able to access it : / [08:27] def cant access it [08:27] buzain: might be wrong channel but how would I do that in win7? [08:27] what the router hands out and what the router accepts are two different things [08:27] nirazio, none that i know of.. but you can do a search on bugs.launchpad.net You will most likely find an entry there if there are any.. or someone else maybe able to tell you here in the channel:) [08:28] wen i run sudo nvidia-xconfig it showing some error [08:28] al_nz1: which router do you have [08:28] dd-wrt [08:28] Vinu: stop installing nvidia like that. stop. it. stop. stop. stop. stop. stop. [08:28] al_nz1: then it doesn't matter what range it hands out, it will accept anything on the same network [08:28] den how should i install. [08:29] al_nz1, I am a newbie too. but I think you need to have a firewall/router/gateway which can access the two different subnets. [08:29] Ben64: well I cant access the freenas box from the browser! [08:29] Vinu: hardware drivers in ubuntu's administration menu [08:29] Ben64: so something aint right [08:29] al_nz1: don't know what to tell you, something isn't correct === weasel__ is now known as Cavem4n [08:31] can someone tell me how to get the tree view in nautilus? [08:32] i cant find it under view or preferences [08:33] al_nz1: in win 7, right click Network icon, then Properties, then Change Adapter Settings, right click network adapter you use, click Properties, scroll to Internet Protocol version4, click Properties, then in Alternative Configuration, add something like 192.1.1.2 [08:33] skpl, view > sidepane [08:33] skpl, is that what you are talking about [08:34] skpl, or press f9 [08:34] buzain: ok - default gateway? still 192.168.1.1? or something else? [08:35] al_nz1: try it without a default gateway [08:36] rs0832: thanks you [08:36] anyone install ies4linux? [08:36] im missing the shortcuts [08:36] hi, I jut tried to update from 9.04 to 9.10, and now can't boot up ubuntu [08:36] after installing flashplugin, by running a flash in chrome, I saw thousands of WARNING: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(plugin->connection)).. any ideas to stop this WARNING stdout? [08:36] I just get lots of "status: unknown job: usplash" messages [08:36] al_nz1: once the new IP is added, check if you can ping your your freenas IP [08:36] buzain: didnt like that [08:37] k [08:37] i swear i had this working before [08:37] buzain: neg [08:37] skpl, :) [08:38] hello [08:38] there [08:38] i have a Question [08:38] !ask [08:38] 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. :-) [08:38] sgo11, there are bugs about it [08:39] how can i use my nimbuzz ID at empathy [08:39] is there a way to force a wifi scan? [08:39] rs0832, does it mean this is not solvable now? [08:39] al_nz1: you can have the default gateway as 192.1.1.1. It is not required because you are trying to reach an IP on the same subnet [08:39] how can I proceed? all I can get to is GRUB [08:39] sgo11, you can try disabling the older plugin if you haven't already [08:39] eliofall, in Network Manager? not that i know of. [08:39] Ben64, hey so i uninstalled all the ati and nvidia drivers including the nvidia and ati xserver-xorg drivers [08:40] RORgasm: ok [08:40] Ben64, i also reinstalled the intel xserver-xorg drivers [08:40] buzain: does the subnet mask want to be 255.255.255.0 or just 255.255.0.0 [08:40] now when i run glxinfo [08:40] or glxgears [08:40] Aaaarg: can you get grub prompt? [08:40] i'm gett a Segmenation fault error [08:40] hey boys [08:40] al_nz1: 255.255.255.0 [08:40] rs0832, older plugin? how to do that? I just installed flashplugin-installer. [08:40] wyclif: yes I can [08:40] wherer checker! [08:40] wherer checker! [08:40] sgo11, before that there was a preinstalled plugin with chrome right? [08:40] * Sk|CIO wherer irc checker!!! [08:40] hey [08:41] hey been tryin' [08:41] RORgasm: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [08:41] rs0832, sorry, no. chrome doesn't support flash in ubuntu-desktop installation. [08:41] same problem [08:41] i need to know how can i use empathy to enter my nimbuzz ID [08:41] Aaaarg, did the upgrade finish as normal [08:41] sgo11, ubuntu 10.10? [08:41] rs0832, yeah. ubuntu-desktop 10.10 freshinstallation. install chrome from google.com/chrome [08:42] #syrai [08:42] sgo11, does it give the same error with other browsers? [08:42] rs0832: burned at half speed diff prog and same thing, i get stuck at a grey screen [08:42] rs0832, let me try. [08:42] housam, have you check does empathy supports nimbuzz at all [08:42] Can someone explain to me what the difference is between Ubuntu and Lubuntu? [08:43] Aaaarg, Ubuntu 9.04 reaches end-of-life on October 23, 2010 [08:43] sgo11: why not install it through the package manager? [08:43] wyclif, ubuntu ships with GNOME as desktop environment while Lubuntu ships LXDE [08:43] Ben64, chrome is not available from package manager. [08:43] Shadownecros, well it worked for me... at which point after boot does this happen? [08:43] lies [08:43] icarus-c: Ah, LXDE. Lightweight, I get it... [08:43] Ben64, hmm ran the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, still no luck [08:43] RORgasm: did it give you any options and stuff? [08:44] i thank empathy support it but i need to Channing some thing in XMMP Server [08:44] nit-wit: no, it did 3GB of downloading fine but then had some errors installing [08:44] sgo11: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/8 [08:44] but i have no idea what was that [08:44] no [08:44] wyclif, lubuntu stands for light ubuntu. Better for super crappy computers :D [08:44] it just ran [08:44] rs0832, it boots off the disc, pops up with some text that has the word linux in it which is all i can read before it goes to a maroon coloured screen, stays there for about a min, then goes to a gery screen and my drive just stops reading from the disc and it hangs [08:44] no output [08:44] nit-wit: lots of errors complaining of segmentation faults [08:45] RORgasm: you would probably need to log off and back on again for changes to take effect [08:45] ok [08:45] let me try that [08:45] be back in a bit [08:45] Shadownecros, does alt ctrl f1 work? [08:45] rs0832, just tried firefox. it has the same output. *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING ...... [08:45] r00t4rd3d: It sounds like it could be great to revive an old ThinkPad [08:45] r00t4rd3d, that L of lubuntu is just for LXDE. like Xubuntu for XFCE, Kubuntu for KDE [08:45] Ya I gotta dumb ubuntu linux question here... [08:45] how can i use that [08:45] sgo11, then most probably a problem with flash.. which package did you install? [08:45] rs0832 only thing that works is double ctrl+alt+del to reboot comp nothing else does [08:45] sgo11: 32 bit or 64? [08:46] Shadownecros, which ubuntu is this? [08:46] I accidentally deleted the little sound icon from my top panel, how do i get that back?.. [08:46] I Have a Question for someone who knows something About VirtualBox and Virtual Machines [08:46] 10.10 of ubuntu site 64bit [08:46] rs0832, Ben64 , mine is 64bit ubuntu. flashplugin-installer. flash is working fine. just thousands of NSPluing Wrapper error and Warning outputs in terminal . [08:47] off* [08:47] Shadownecros, is your processor 64 bit? [08:47] Aaaarg, you did a update after a end of life not sure if this may be a factor [08:47] i have a problem whit flash player how can i fix that [08:47] yes it is, and im also running wincrap 64bit right now [08:48] Shadownecros, have any previous versions worked? and have you tried 32 bit? i am using 32 bit ubuntu on 64 bit machine.. works great [08:48] On Ubuntu 10.10 i386 - Oracle VM VirtualBox - Machine Windows 7 Ultimate - Install Ran Perfect Great Sound awesome performance, But why does it abort halfway through a Download, and crash back to ubuntu? [08:48] nit-wit: oops, that didn't occur to me as a problem [08:48] Hello everyone ! [08:48] sgo11: i'd recommend downloading and manually installing the 64 bit flash plugin [08:48] amanda__, mayb it ran out of virtual disk space [08:48] rs0832, lol i have 5gb of ram, 32bit only reads 3gb but i have not tried a 32bit version no [08:49] How do you run a proxy on Ubuntu ? [08:49] I gave it a fixed Disk space of 150 GB - It has over 144 Free gigx left [08:49] sgo11, yes i recommend the same as Ben64.. mine works fine [08:49] I have some problems with mu ubuntu 10.04 server. Some times in can still connect with ssh on it but the server z [08:49] icarus-c: It doesn't even come with gedit, just Leafpad, and uses PCMan for the gui file manager instead of Nautilus or whatever [08:49] the server acts as it has no internet connection [08:49] wyclif, Gedit and Nautilus are part of GNOME [08:49] Ben64, rs0832, where to download the 64bit flash plugin? [08:49] Aaaarg, may not be hard to sounds toasted though, you can get your stuff out though probably, like media, music ...etc. [08:50] Shadownecros, if you can, try the 32 bit.. shouldnt be the problem actually, but you can try... and what about the different version? 10.04/9.10, etc? [08:50] Could it be just a Glitch because I left the computer Idle, and Ubuntu's Screensaver came on? If so how can i turn off any screen changes in unbuntu while being idle [08:50] weside, http://www.virtualhelp.me/linux/107-volume-controlicon-is-gone-ubuntu-1004 [08:50] Thanks man [08:50] icarus-c: I know, that's why they don't use them, like I said this is just an alternative for crappy laptops or low-RAM machines [08:50] rs0832, i started dling10.04 but the time just kept increasing for dl after starting at 2 hours [08:51] some reason its locked to the mail indicator [08:51] icarus-c: I realise that LXDE is not GNOME [08:51] nit-wit: hmm, I can get it to show a recovery menu, but it doesn't respond to the keyboard [08:51] hi hello [08:51] amanda__, hmm.. may not be a glitch.. just an unsupported feature or something... you can check any error logs, they usually give more info on why things dont work [08:51] hi guys i need help here [08:52] hahah hi rs0832 do you remember me ? [08:52] icarus-c: what's interesting about all that is that lubuntu will eventually be merged into Canonical and thus be part of official Ubuntu [08:52] majdekalel, sure i do :) [08:52] good [08:52] Any distraction free writing software for Ubuntu you guys can recommend? [08:52] majdekalel, tell me how can i help you [08:52] i removed my ubuntu and i installed it again ! [08:52] any way [08:52] meh: Your wine does not have wineprefixcreate installed. Maybe you are running an old Wine version. Try to update it to the latest version. [08:53] Ben64, so i logged out and logged back in...still same problem [08:53] now i have ubuntu 10.04 [08:53] bottom line is that we want to be able to work on the same code in real time. Anyone know a good way for this? [08:53] but i need to upgrade it to 10.10 [08:53] majdekalel, ok, and [08:53] how can i did that ! [08:53] Maverick, baby! [08:53] RORgasm: do this on terminal and paste the result... "ls -ho /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [08:53] when i install core-update i cant see that there is new dist ? [08:54] amanda__, you can check in /home/user/ [08:54] <_polto_> hi [08:54] vim or Emacs? [08:54] majdekalel, try going into the repository and change it from lts to normal release [08:54] Ben64, this is what i get "-rw-r--r-- 1 root 1.1K 2010-05-01 22:04 /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [08:54] weside, pm [08:55] amanda__, enable 'view hidden files' in nautilus.. the name should start with a . [08:55] RORgasm: pastebin the whole file [08:55] wyclif, do a coin flip :P [08:55] oh yah you are right its LTS [08:55] Ben64, k...one sec [08:55] icarus-c: LOL [08:55] RORgasm: btw, pastebin does not mean paste it here [08:55] http://pastebin.com/ :D [08:55] majdekalel, i followed this and it worked fine for me.. you can try it - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-to-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-desktop-and-server.html [08:55] Ben64, i know :) [08:56] I have some problems with mu ubuntu 10.04 server. Some times in can still connect with ssh on it but the server acts as it has no internet connection. How can I fix that ? [08:56] <_polto_> I have a very strange thing... I am installing 2 Intel servers with 10.04 and 10.10. After the installation BIOS does not pass HDD check. If a disk with GRUB or LILO is inserted in the PC It can not boot !! :( If I disconnect the disk with GRUB or LILO installed I can enter the Setup and see the other disc detected. [08:56] in ubuntu, how to check the package I installed from apt-get is 32bit or 64bit? thanks. [08:56] i dont really know how i can thank you Mr rs0832 ! [08:56] Aaaarg, have you considered just pulling out what you may want to save and just putting a more up to date fresh install in 9.10 is only supported to april 23rd 2011. [08:56] Ben64, http://pastebin.com/1YxtBMwR [08:56] any way you can come to jordan and you will be my guest ! [08:57] <_polto_> anybody have seen something like that ? any way to solve such wired thing ? [08:57] sgo11: everything from apt-get will be the architecture you are currently on [08:57] sgo11 it wont let you down load the wrong one. just do uname -a and check. [08:57] Aaaarg, thats if you were even able to get it working [08:57] sgo11, normally it has '64' in the name [08:57] majdekalel, your welcome :) and thanks for the offer [08:57] i mean it [08:57] you can see Petra ! [08:58] its just 60 Km far away from my home ! [08:58] RORgasm: delete it and reboot : / [08:58] _polto_: why don't you just use 10.10 for both? simplify, simplify and it would be all up to date anyway [08:58] RORgasm: i was going to give you my laptop's xorg.conf, but it doesn't have one! [08:58] Ben64, i_is_broke rs0832, I am just wondering if the flashplugin that I downloaded is 32bit instead of 64bit. mine is 64bit ubuntu for sure. I tried dpkg -l, it doesn't mention about either 32bit or 64bit. [08:58] nit-wit: true, I'll try that [08:58] majdekalel, :) thats cool [08:58] Ben64, delete the file and reboot the computer? [08:58] sgo11: the flash plugin from apt-get i think is 32 bit only [08:59] RORgasm: yes [08:59] <_polto_> wyclif, I have my reasons. but both can't boot after install! [08:59] u sure that will be fine? [08:59] :) [08:59] sgo11, try getting it from adobe's website [08:59] sgo11, it wont matter it wont let you have the wrong one. [08:59] RORgasm: you said you're on 10.10? [08:59] yup [08:59] yeah its fine [08:59] ok [08:59] brb [08:59] <_polto_> if a disk with grub is inserted the PC does not pass disk detection. [08:59] !flash [08:59] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [08:59] Ben64, yeah, ok. so my question is again how to check the package installed from apt-get is 32bit or 64bit? any ways to check? [08:59] _polto_: do you have it set up to boot one, the other, or both? [09:00] rs0832, thanks. I am about to do it. download 64bit manually. [09:00] sgo11: they will all be 64bit except for certain binary only things [09:00] sgo11, you will get a download (an archive).. then extract the file 'libflashplayer.so' and copy it to /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin [09:00] and i'm not seeing the 64 bit version on adobe's site anymore : / [09:00] <_polto_> wyclif, I have 2 servers, and one distro per server. it's a default ubuntu server install [09:01] Ben64, i think its in adobe labs or somethin [09:01] Ben64, i think i saw it a couple of days ago [09:01] Ben64, rs0832, Ben64 is right. I can't find it either. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [09:01] <_polto_> wyclif, 10.04 is installed on one machine and 10.10 on the other. [09:01] rs0832: it was, but i don't see it now anymore [09:01] <_polto_> both have this same problem. === Wifihelp is now known as freezway [09:01] not the first time they disappeared the 64 bit version [09:02] Ben64, oh.. ok [09:02] <_polto_> Bios does not pass disk detection if a GRUB or LILO enabled disk is inserted. [09:02] adobe is mean to us 64 bit users [09:02] Ben64, rs0832 sgo11 http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/ [09:02] hi rs0832 are you from the UK ? [09:02] Ben64, I understood all should be 64bit except for certain binary only. but, how to check it? For example, how to know the flashplugin is 32bit? [09:02] I have some problems with mu ubuntu 10.04 server. Some times in can still connect with ssh on it but the server acts as it has no internet connection. How can I fix that ? [09:02] majdekalel, nope:) [09:02] square? [09:02] icarus-c: thanks btw [09:03] Ben64, aka flash 10.3 [09:03] so from where ? [09:03] :o [09:03] i should get then [09:03] icarus-c, thanks:) [09:03] why do they always hide 64 bit :| [09:03] ok i have to close now ubuntu are updating [09:03] "Drapes" shows under preferences tab "Display" shows only "No wallpapers present", where it listed some online wallpapers - it worked before I touched it - I can't get it to revert to the original settings - how can I _really_ reinstall a package? [09:03] see you later [09:03] aslam alykom [09:04] 这是什么地方 [09:04] Ben64, typical of adobe and ms [09:04] hmw: sudo apt-get purge [09:04] !cn | jjj [09:04] jjj: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:04] i [09:04] jjj, read /topic [09:05] RORgasm: hi [09:05] Ben64, hey so i deleted the file and just rebooted [09:05] 呵呵 第一次 还不会用 [09:05] Ben64, still same problem [09:05] Ben64, and that file now is empty [09:05] 怎么全是英语阿 [09:06] RORgasm: lsmod | grep -i intel [09:06] pastebin that if you would :) [09:06] jjj, coz this is the official english support channel of ubuntu [09:06] Ben64: purge and install didn't restore the initial state [09:07] Ben64, http://pastebin.com/25aZz2Fx [09:07] Ben64, afaik they added hardware acceleration to flash 10.2 beta, and moved 64bit one to 10.3 preview [09:09] does anyone else loose the pretty pink Ubuntu loading screen after updating ?

If ping IP, both are fast. why is ping domain in ubuntu slow? DNS lookup in every icmp request? thanks. [09:30] Has anyone discovered a fix for Revenge of the Titans with ATI's proprietary drivers for the 5xxx series? [09:30] where does GNOME save its list of Startup Applications to? [09:31] yao_ziyuan, system preferences startup aps [09:31] sgo11: no it only looks up domain once [09:32] Ben64, but why ping domain under ubuntu is very slow? I tried ping IP to the same domain, it's fast. [09:32] i_is_broke: yeah i know it; i mean which config file holds this startup list [09:32] sgo11: probably your dns lookup is slow [09:32] Ben64, it's like 10 seconds for one icmp request. [09:33] ikonia, even if the dns lookup is slow, ping should only use it once, not in every icmp request. [09:33] sgo11: is it slow when you do it by IP directly [09:33] ikonia, my situation is 10 seconds per icmp request with ping domain. ping IP is fine. [09:34] yao_ziyuan, dont know for sure under gnome, i use ksystemslogs [09:34] sgo11: ok, so there is clearly something wrong with a name look up somewhere, maybe on the server end if it's clustered/load balanded, is this with all domains or just one host/domain [09:34] sgo11, try changing your nameservers [09:35] i_is_broke: i found it. [09:35] kakoe ? [09:35] dobri ? [09:35] i_is_broke: ~/.config/autostart/ [09:35] isn't broke [09:35] ikonia, rs0832 but the current problem is ping should lookup once. right? I tried ping in opensuse, when it lookup at the first time, a bit slow, afterwards, very fast. ubuntu ping is like 10 seconds per icmp request. [09:35] yao_ziyuan, ok ill jot that down. [09:35] fuck ya [09:35] sgo11: please respond to my questions [09:35] ucenik02: moderate the language [09:35] sgo11: do you have it set to ping once every 10 secs? : / [09:36] <_darko> ucenik02: od kude si pa ti [09:36] od kaj sakam :D [09:36] ikonia, it's slow with many host/domains. fast with many host/domain. in any cases, not just one. [09:36] ucenik02: _darko english only in this channel [09:36] Ben64, no. if I ping IP, everything is fine. [09:36] sgo11: are there specific ones it's slow with, specific ones it's fast with or just random [09:36] <_darko> ucenik02: kumanovo? or? [09:37] ikonia, specific ones. not random. [09:37] sgo11: can you give me 2 please [09:37] sgo11: try "ping -i 0.5 google.com" [09:37] sgo11, so it is fine with others then? === jofo_ is now known as jofo [09:37] I use "Connect to server" option to sftp to remote computers, as a user which has sudoer privileges.

[09:39] I will keep in on topic then sorry. [09:39] woof [09:39] :D [09:39] sgo11: that host has an issue, it is responding very slow [09:40] sgo11, confirmed ikonia .. same here. [09:40] ikonia, I tried it in opensuse. it responds very fast. I have one ubuntu and one opensuse running in the same LAN. [09:41] anybody testing out the Natty Narwhal? [09:41] weside: people in #ubuntu+1 are [09:41] hi. I'd like to try 10.10 on a test partition for r600g in xorg-edgers. can I skip installing the boot loader and then update-grub from debian (current OS)? [09:41] and do I need the alternate cd for that? [09:42] sgo11, what about ping google.com [09:42] rs0832, ping google.com is fine in both opensuse and ubuntu. [09:43] rs0832 32bit does the same thing, and alt ctrl f1 gives me a black screen and completly locks up my comp [09:43] I am wondering why ping in ubuntu is different from ping in opensuse..... [09:43] sgo11: it's their DNS server, it's resolving to an A record that is load balanced [09:44] Shadownecros, and did the 10.04 version do any different? [09:44] i want my ubuntu to automatically connect to a network connection whenever it is available and properly set it up. For instance if i plug in my EVDO usb, it should automatically dial the connection and setup rotuing etc. Whats the good way [09:44] rs0832, itll take me at least 8 hours to get it, and if i did get it id wanna know its gonna work before i waste another disc [09:45] I cannot multi-boot to XP from system with GRUB2, but can boot to it from a CD with GRUB. Read multi websites on subject, but not familiar with GRUB/2 language and about to step through it to find the difference. If anyone is familiar with GRUB/2 language and can help, please compare @ http://pastebin.com/n99LGDBg [09:45] Shadownecros, do you have any other operating systems on the computer? [09:45] yes, win7, ive also had linux on my comp before with win7 on it [09:45] exact same stats as it is now [09:45] ikonia, ok. I am not so sure about the tech details. so is that possible to make ping in ubuntu as fast as ping in opensuse with some command-line arguments? [09:45] Shadownecros, which linux? [09:46] bt4 [09:46] sgo11: no, I suspect suse is using a cached entry, hence why it's working [09:46] ikonia, ok. fine. thanks a lot. :) === david_ is now known as s3r3n1t7 [09:47] Shadownecros, may be you can try running it in a vm [09:47] rs0832, 10.10 wont install in a vm tried already but im getting 10.04 which is apparently now only gonna take about 10 min [09:48] sgo11: try pining the ip instead of the dns record [09:48] Shadownecros, what are your hardware specs? [09:48] Pinging [09:48] rs0832 want me to pc and give you the full list? [09:48] Shadownecros, not the full thing [09:49] Shadownecros, ram, processor, graphics card [09:49] :) [09:49] rs0832, so i guess my solution didn't work i also tried your soletion reocnfiguring xorg [09:49] rs0832, no luck [09:49] Hi. Was trying to connect a sound problem and I've lost all sound... including from plugged in speakers. any help? [09:49] acicula, ping Ip works fine.

[10:10] im running ubuntu 10.10 and i have gnome alsa mixer installed, sometimes my speakers mute them selfs out of the blue and i have to open that up and drag the front to the top and hit unmute or mute if im using headphones its getting very old and very annoying how do i fix it so they do not auto mute from time to time? here is a screen shot of it. http://imgur.com/uSAwE [10:10] My ubuntu comp in not connected to the internet and i cannot install compiz on my ubuntu 10.10. can some one tell me how i can insall it offline? [10:10] ii can try to overclock the crap out of it [10:10] RORgasm, haha [10:11] RORgasm, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa-utils/+bug/244734 [10:12] rs0832, so that means there's a bug and no fix? === dkannan is now known as dkannan` [10:13] RORgasm, well, that was in jaunty i think [10:13] s3r3n1t7: You can have two different terminals connected to the same screen session. If that doesn't do what you need can you explain your end goal? === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [10:13] RORgasm, maybe there is another bug report with a solution for 10.x [10:15] the thing is i like the 64bit for some reason and thinking about it that may be the root of the froblem r= [10:15] 64 bit is awesome [10:15] 64 bit is good [10:16] RORgasm, what does glx --info do? [10:16] need more suport [10:16] rs0832, one sec [10:16] Jordan_U, i'm afraid that doesn't. I'm currently working in multiple terminals, each one is executing one or multiple commands. When i rebuild my project, i would like to be able to do this by just using a shortcut. However, the output of the command can't be truncated so i need to be able to scroll back. [10:16] rs0832, do u mean glxinfo not glx --info ? [10:17] Jordan_U, so my thought was to place a shortcut on the panel, which would rebuild the entire project, by sending a command to the terminals on my second screen [10:17] s3r3n1t7: you can scroll back in screen [10:17] RORgasm, no glx --info.. read it somewhere, can remember where :p [10:17] Ben64, i would still have to type for the rebuild, which is the whole thing i'm trying to prevent. [10:18] RORgasm, may have been mistaken though... does it work? [10:18] s3r3n1t7: what [10:18] goto love this k8b im watching fargo from my direct tv dvr [10:18] Ben64, please read what i wrote to Jordan_U. [10:18] i did, makes no sense [10:18] plenty of H.P. [10:18] s3r3n1t7: You could have a terminal open just for building that has a script that will build whenever it gets a certain signal (via kill). [10:19] Siton_XD hi [10:19] Jordan_U, that's actually a great idea ... why didn't i think of that [10:19] no [10:19] rs0832, no command glx found [10:19] glxinfo works though...although glxinfo gives me a sefmentation fault [10:20] RORgasm, i may have misread then.. sorry [10:20] RORgasm, does glxinfo have any switches or options? [10:21] since no one wants to help me with my sound issue what about the issue i have when i log in or reboot i get prompted by a keychain password and wants me to enter a password sayins some application is requiring the password how do i disable it? [10:21] it does [10:21] but no matter what i do [10:21] i get Segmentaiton fault [10:21] the ati 3450hd would be great if it didnt suck so much juice i only have 550w [10:21] RORgasm, what about a reinstall [10:21] a reinstall of what? [10:21] RORgasm, of glxgears [10:21] hmm [10:21] let me try that [10:21] nirazio, asfar as I can tell compiz does not work that well on 10.10 [10:22] RORgasm, and sudo apt-get build-dep glxgears [10:22] hmm [10:22] RORgasm, or sudo apt-get build-dep mesa-utils [10:22] nirazio, do not waste your time on installing it, since you can not make any changes in the compiz manager, all the tick boxes are locked [10:22] why does umbuntu hate ati? [10:22] Dwade09: no one knows much about your problems. i suggest that you come back online again later and ask the same questions. :) [10:23] i did sudo apt-get install glxgears, and it says it can't locate package glxgears [10:23] Keystone: it doesn't, ati is a closed source video driver with limited linux support, it's nothing to do with ubuntu [10:23] RORgasm, mesa-utils, not glxgears :) sorry my bad [10:24] Keystone: though now ATi have released open-source drivers and in a year or two it'll be a good option for linux [10:24] rigved, i have asked a few times before even during the busy times no one will help me with my sound problem nor my keychain problam its getting very old and very annoyingly frustrating the lack of support i am getting from the ubuntu community lately. [10:24] true but why they dont work [10:24] Keystone: as I explaned, it's nothing to do with ubuntu [10:25] rs0832, i'm uninstalling mesa-utils [10:25] Keystone: assuming its a real 550W psu it should be more then enough, unless you are sporting a serious hdd storage array or multi cpu setups [10:25] rs0832, gonna reinstall in a sec [10:25] Dwade09, the crowd comes in in around an hour or two.. try again that time.. lots of people who are good at fixing stuff are online that time :) [10:25] keystone try apt-get install envyng [10:25] Keystone: to compare a 550W psu will run a high end ati card and modern quad core processor without any difficulty [10:25] RORgasm, ok [10:25] Dwade09: please come again online later and ask again. maybe someone might know. we try to help if we know about it [10:26] Keystone, thats how i got my Ati drivers [10:26] Dwade09, ill do some research for you :).. should finish bu that time.. just repost your question if you dont mind.. its gone past my log [10:26] hello [10:27] RORgasm, RORgasm, i got segfaults in some python programs before.. it seemed to be due wrong versions of dependancies... cause afeter fixing the versions, they worked.. [10:27] I'm trying to configure the way notify-osd behaves in maverick. I edited ~/.notify-osd, but that doesn't seem to have any impact on the bhaviour (even afer a restart of the program). Is there any way I could configure this? [10:27] RORgasm, didnt realise i already typed your name :p [10:27] rs0832, ok reinstalling [10:27] rs0832, thanks and dont worry about it, im so close to burning this linux mint iso i have to my thumb drive and going to that, [10:27] rs0832: ive had them too with python bindings for some binary libs when i referenced class/objects incorrectly [10:28] my aray is only jbod performace was 2 much heat just made it run 2 hot 550 you would think would be enough but who knows ubuntu is getting more versitile like windows [10:28] Dwade09, ok.. if you feel like some help, repost your question then :) good luck [10:28] Hey all [10:28] Keystone: the PSU gets too hot? [10:29] question: How do I change my font colour in xchat? [10:29] acicula, RORgasm, thats why i suggested the reinstall and build-dep mesa-utils [10:29] :S i get 116,000 frames per second now in glxgears [10:29] exactly [10:29] acicula, RORgasm, lets hope it works :) [10:29] raid0 makes the temp go up alot [10:30] and i compiled a k10temp module, but it reports my CPU @12C [10:30] rs0832, don't think it is [10:30] RORgasm, ??

[10:30] RORgasm, what about the buid-dep? [10:31] rs0832, thank you for wanting to help but ive asked these two questions off and on for the past 4 weeks now and i think after that long a time no help or just being ignored which ever the case maybe its time to move on else where, [10:31] RORgasm: try livecd [10:31] well its not water cooled [10:31] Ubuntu on the CR-48 with out Chromium OS dev tools [10:31] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10270430 [10:32] Dwade09, sorry about that :) but good luck with your future linux experiences.. i know they can get annoying sometime ;) [10:32] rs0832, yeah i tried that [10:32] RORgasm, did it build anything? [10:32] yeah [10:32] it build mesa-open instead [10:33] sorry [10:33] i meant [10:33] Dwade09: keychain? [10:33] mesa-demos instead [10:33] and then i had to reinstall mesa-utils [10:33] in order to get glxinfo back [10:33] Dwade09: tried the ubuntuforums? for most technical stuff its a beter place then irc? [10:33] and once i did [10:33] Ben64, yes a keychain pops up asking for a password. [10:33] RORgasm: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:33] same rproblem [10:33] Dwade09: for wireless? [10:33] if all th hds are running at the same time all the time raid0 wouldnt you hink it would get hot [10:33] acicula, yes i have been there before as well [10:34] Bebeoix, yeah i think i should try the livecd, rs0832 i'm tired...its 5:30 in the morning and i have ot go to work in 4 hours... lol...i might take a look at this later [10:34] later guys [10:34] Ben64, it doesnt say what its for it wont let me do any thing other then enter a password not the same password for my wifi but the password for my computer. [10:34] RORgasm: if it works on the livecd, i say reinstall :D [10:34] Dwade09: got any screenshots? [10:35] no Ben64 it wont let me take one [10:35] Dwade09: http://cache.lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2007/07/nmapplet.png [10:35] is it like that? [10:36] Ben64, somewhat but it doesnt say the application [10:36] Dwade09, then use your admin pass [10:36] Dwade09, which you use for sudo [10:36] Ben64, it says an application not the. [10:36] does it say "keyring" though [10:36] yes [10:36] if it says keyring, its because you set that password [10:36] if you don't want it to ask, don't set one [10:36] channel for redhat?

[10:42] grr... why does the apostrophe have to be near enter... Anyway... Dwade09 .. I'd remove pulseaudio for starters. Might not fix it, but it always annoys me anyway. 2nd. Make sure there is no Multimedia Keys you're hitting to mute it accidentally. [10:42] there are no* [10:43] tassleho1f, in what way can it not connect? any errors? [10:43] im not hitting any multimedia keys all i do is go play a video say if im watching amovie, then go to youtube to watch a video or listen to music it auto mutes and i have to open gnome alsa and unmute it then redue the video [10:44] i'd still remove pulseaudio though [10:44] doing it. [10:44] tassleho1f: pidgin has an OTR plugin [10:44] rs0832: it says nothing, just "connecting" forever and ever.

[10:46] rs0832: adium. based on libpurple, and uses the same port as pidgin for gtalk [10:46] tassleho1f, hmm.. some programs can have this problem, [10:46] rs0832: more like all of them ;) [10:47] tassleho1f, if they are not updated to match api updates on the server (here gtalk's server) [10:47] Ben64, that fixed the keychain but didnt pop another up asking for a password thank you and as for the sound i do not know right now if that fixed it or not.

[10:48] rs0832: 10.10 [10:48] Ben64, i have no sound icon at the top of the screen now, so how do i turn sound up and down? [10:49] tassleho1f, did you notice any other webpages not opening? (you said that even the web interface didnt work) [10:49] hi how can i remove wireless connection [10:49] Dwade09, press alt-f2 and in the command box type gnome-volume-control-applet [10:49] it keep forzen when i try to remove the wireless connection from the panel [10:49] rs0832: only gtalk. what I meant is that from gmail you can normally do the same chat, but none of my contacts are shown online there either [10:50] frozen* [10:50] rs0832: ah. sorry. it works from web. had to click "sign-on" [10:50] rs0832, it says its already running [10:50] gnome-alsamixer [10:51] tassleho1f, what programs have you tried already? [10:51] rs0832, now its saying waiting for sound system to respond [10:51] gnome-alsamixer :D [10:51] Dwade09, yes.. install the drivers that Ben64 mentioned ^^ [10:51] Ben64, yes but i do not want to have to open that each time i want to turn up sound [10:52] shouldn't need to install : / [10:52] Dwade09, you wont have to :) [10:52] Ben64, oh sorry.. you meant run it? [10:52] yeah [10:52] Ben64, ok my bad :) [10:52] how often do you have to change volume?

[10:55] tassleho1f, :) maybe different version? [10:56] Dwade09: gconf-editor + scripts i made [10:56] tassleho1f, so it works now? [10:56] /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands [10:56] and /apps/metacity/global_keybindings [10:56] rs0832: yes. not different version. same pc, same pidgin, same account settings, different house.... [10:57] tassleho1f, did the same person install it? [10:57] tassleho1f, wait .. same pc? [10:58] tassleho1f, same pc or same type of pc?? [10:58] rs0832: *same*. only diff is that I work from my parents house today. [10:58] mine are f9 - f11 for sound f9 mute f10 sound down and f11 sound up what do i type in the commands box? [10:59] Ben64, ^^^^ [10:59] rs0832: posted a Q at #pidgin since I thought this was odd. I'll report back if someone answers [10:59] tassleho1f, ah .. pidgin probably auto ads the server in the config.. maybe the difference of internet connection didnt let it detect that the server was working [10:59] same as usual no one want to offer help [11:00] rs0832: that could explain it [11:01] thanks for sparring :) === guru is now known as Guest39118 [11:01] Dwade09: can you run "amixer" [11:01] tassleho1f, :) [11:01] rigved, Are you here? :) [11:01] swot: hi [11:01] swot: did everything work fine? [11:02] rigved, Yes, now i'm in destkop [11:02] Ben64, i typed it in the terminal and it popped up a bunch of text. [11:02] swot: so no problems then? [11:02] Dwade09: good [11:02] rigved, But, i cant change resolution higher than 1024x768 [11:03] hi all...

[11:03] Dwade09: System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts [11:03] rigved, 1280x1024 - 1360x1024 [11:04] swot: System > Administration > Monitors have you tried that? [11:04] rigved, I must installl restricted driver Nvidia i mean [11:04] rigved, Yes :) [11:04] every time i run make i get this error: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [11:04] Ben64, i got a issue . [11:05] Ben64, there is no sound [11:05] Ben64, even though the sound is all the way up there is still no sound its like its stuck on mute. [11:05] swot: yes. System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [11:06] Dwade09: make sure none are muted [11:06] none are. [11:06] rigved, Relog.. wait please [11:07] Dwade09: in what [11:07] Ben64, nothing is muted in the gnome alsa mixer [11:07] what are you trying to get sound from [11:07] my movie player [11:08] rigved, Back [11:08] and the speakers no headphones right now. [11:08] rigved, I allow the driver, ok? [11:08] "my movie player" is not very descriptive [11:08] swot: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [11:08] swot: yes [11:09] it downloading the driver [11:09] *it is [11:09] Ben64, applications sound & video then movie player [11:09] rigved, It's downloading the driver now :) [11:09] i'm surprised you could get anything to play in that thing :S [11:09] swot: after it's installed (version > 193, i think), you can set the monitor resolution from System > Administration > Monitors [11:09] its all i run for movies and music. [11:10] Does anyone know where I can get help with Ubuntu Tomcat configuration? [11:10] rigved, Ok [11:11] rigved, I'm going to restart PC [11:11] treewhopper, someone here might know, or if not, you can try #apache, i think [11:11] treewhopper,http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/installing-tomcat-6-on-ubuntu/ [11:12] how can i find the path to ffmpeg? [11:12] ugmg: I'm looking for help with JNI libraries. I need to know how to get the env variables into a Servlet VM environment. [11:12] kovid_: which ffmpeg [11:13] ugmg: in windows, it follows the system env, but i can't get it to do the same with the *.so file in ubuntu [11:14] treewhopper: what's the issue [11:14] Ben64, thanks for the help on the keychain issue, the sound however didnt work as you had me try. [11:14] I can't get GRUB to display the boot menu [11:14] Dwade09: you should try a different player [11:14] It's driving me nuts, I tried holding esc, and shift. It won't work [11:14] How do I get GRUB to display the boot menu? [11:15] Using Ubuntu 10.10 [11:15] Ben64, i did, it didnt work not even in vlc. [11:15] xorwhy: did you try only Shift? [11:15] ikonia: i'm trying to create a web interface to and R statistics script. I've got an ajax web interface that talks to a tomcat servlet, which needs to use the rJava jni to initialize an R instance [11:15] rigved: Yes [11:15] Dwade09: mplayer? [11:15] did tat one too. [11:15] that* [11:15] treewhopper: ok.....and ? [11:16] try "mplayer -ao alsa " [11:16] I need to run memtest86 but I can't unless I can select it in the boot menu [11:16] ikonia: it works on windows, since the servlet can find the jni file, but i get an error on ubuntu saying it can't find the jni [11:16] Ben64, i have to do that everytime i want to play something? [11:16] ikonia: i just need to know how to set servlet level paths [11:16] Dwade09: does it work [11:16] xorwhy, memtest86+ is designed to work that way [11:16] does your bios have a mam test [11:16] xorwhy, boot it as an OS [11:16] treewhopper: that sort of information is normally included in either an environment varible, or a config file [11:16] icarus-c: I know, but I can't get grub to display the boot menu. [11:16] rigved, Hm...After restart i can change resolution to 1152x864 and 1360x768 highest.. but i cant change resolution to 1360x1024 75Hz (Or 1280x1024 75Hz) [11:16] mem* [11:17] goodtime: Yes but I'm not certain that it uses memtest86 or some other less reliable program [11:17] xorwhy: have you tried escape, up, down, backspace, f keys? [11:17] goodtime, dont you just love mispelling ? [11:17] ikonia: yes, but where? it's fine in a cli, but i don't know where to set it in tomcat [11:17] Ben64: I have not tried up down, or f keys, I will try that now [11:17] i'm guessing you have grub2, so idk what exactly gets out of it [11:17] im in the dark there are 2 others sleeping sorry for the misspelling [11:18] i still have old grub [11:18] treewhopper: #tomcat is the best place to ask, [11:18] rigved, Do you know how i can change the resolution higher? [11:18] rigved, BTW sorry for my english [11:18] ikonia: sry, thx yeah i'll head there [11:18] swot: you can specify a custom resolution in the config files [11:18] rigved, Where is it? [11:18] thanks Ben64 i will reinstall pulseaudio and see what i can get on that forum hit seems no sound is working at all in any players. [11:19] Dwade09: what was the output from mplayer? [11:19] swot: one moment. i'll check [11:19] rigved, No problem [11:19] o crack wpa2 [11:19] why is it so hard to crack wpa2 [11:20] kjk: nothing to do with ubuntu, please don't ask [11:20] because people don't want it to be cracked?

[11:23] Clicking it once will launch it, so it is hard to select it... [11:23] dc5ala, it's already there. [11:24] Dwade09: you need to get the name correct or it won't work [11:24] savage_, run xterm, and use mv, or use a filemanager and rightclick->rename or such?

[11:25] Dwade09: put spaces after the backslashes : / [11:25] backslash escapes a character, it doesn't represent a space by itself [11:25] how_to: try on terminal to play something, e.g. with mpg123 and see if you get any permission denied [11:25] savage_, use bash [11:26] how to show "full name" in terminal [11:26] ?

[11:26] Dwade09: looks good, you must have volume down or muted somewhere [11:26] There has to be a way to launch a shell script from the desktop, right? [11:27] swot: open that with sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:27] And have it open a bash terminal, and execute the script [11:27] BernardV: "chfn - change real user name and information" [11:27] Ben64, no volume is not muted [11:27] the name used in evolution etc [11:27] savage_, hold on, let me try something [11:27] how_to: what does "id" say?

[11:28] ok, mplayer is playing audio but you can't hear it. only reasonable answer is that it is muted [11:28] how_to: that fb0 is at least not your audio device, it's video, you try running as different user? [11:28] dc5ala, here is the whole ouput of mplayer: http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/QOZ [11:29] other options - no speakers, broken 3.5mm jack, bad traces on motherboard [11:29] Ben64, its not muted i trippled check [11:29] Ben64, those are all good. [11:29] Dwade09: pastebin the output of "amixer" [11:29] Hi peoples ! [11:29] dc5ala, superuser would be able to play sound.

[11:38] kovid_, to remove packages, you use apt-get remove however, BE CAREFUL as it can also remove other packages and that can break your system [11:39] rigved, device section?

[11:44] kovid_, yep thats c++ [11:44] how_to: what system are you running? [11:44] kovid_, i think you have to set the compiler flag to g++ or something [11:44] debian lenny.

[11:49] kovid_, sudo apt-get install g++ [11:49] Can I chroot into a partition from the live CD and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a to re-install and re-configure all packages?

[11:53] i really am unsure [11:53] Tito0096: udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 [11:53] Tito0096: something like mount /dev/sb1 /somewhere/to/mount/it [11:53] erUSUL: What is udisks? It's not part of ubuntu, I know that much.

[11:58] bennym: audio codec [11:58] im trying to fix crackling sound [11:58] share: then don't say drivers. Codecs are not drivers [11:59] Why hdmi cable is not transfering audio from the laptop to the lcd screen? [11:59] is it always crackling, or only with a particular filetype?

Why doesn't the installer accept this? d-i passwd/make-user boolean false [11:59] It should skip user creation [12:00] bennym I have tried this, I have changed the hardware and configured it to use hdmi but it didn't work. [12:00] share: And you don't wanna go to bed? Hello, me :P So is it always crackling, or just with particular filetypes? [12:00] syria: Is it still outputting through the normal sound device?

[12:04] bennym: its not that, what the hell is Namoroka? and why did it replce my firefox without asking? [12:05] Tito0096: cd /mnt/sdb1;ls|grep rootfs.bin [12:05] kingsy: It would've said exactly what it was doing before the actual update. Did you read that? [12:05] Kingsy: Also, if you must know what it is, open it. [12:05] can you fix the command if its wrong? [12:06] or is it correct? [12:06] it looked like you made a typo [12:06] Tito0096: Run "cd /mnt/sdb1;ls|grep rootfs.bin" and tell me what it says [12:06] Building the linux kernel in a Backtrack VM on windows 7 [12:06] This could take a while... :P [12:06] Syria: Sounds like it should be working :/ Double check everything, check the volume on everything.

[13:50] Xeross, well one thing to keep in mind with emerald...it is no longer developed ormaintained [13:51] Slartibart: removeing gimp-plugin-registry 3.5.2-1~webupd8~lucid maybe all youneed to do [13:51] !emerald > Xeross [13:51] Xeross, please see my private message [13:51] Dr_Willis: Thanks a bunch [13:51] stick with metacity.. emerald.. is well basically dead.

[14:51] Quantum_Ion: if it asks for the cd it's because you have the cd as a repository.

[18:23] working [18:23] !md5 | murk00 [18:23] murk00: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:24] aeon-ltd: I don't think anybody planted a script. I think it's some kind of warning/indicator light. I'm just not sure what it means. It appears to happen randomly, not when I'm doing anything specific. [18:24] Coolslai: did you select "Install Ubuntu" twice? [18:24] ok I will burn it slow now and see if that helps be back in few mins [18:24] yes - rigved [18:25] thomc: watch a process manager (or top in terminal) and watch to cpu spikes, or if anything is stacking and consuming resources to create the lock up [18:25] rigved - error [18:25] Coolslai: what is the error? [18:25] rigved cd-rom couldnt be mounted [18:25] aeon-ltd: ok. [18:25] rigved thats shortened im not typing the whole thing [18:25] thomc: how long does it take for this to happen? usually [18:26] aeon-ltd: it varies, but it's always after I've been using the machine a good while, say an hour or so. [18:26] Coolslai: this is messed up. something about your computer is not allowing the CD to load. maybe the CD-ROM istdelf may have a problem [18:26] thomc: do the fans get louder? [18:26] idk what would be wrong [18:27] aeon-ltd: not appreciably no. I don't think it's a heat issue, because the laptop doesn't feel particularly hot to the touch. [18:27] Hey folks. I've got a KVM switch, and when I switch back to Ubuntu from something else, my mouse acts weird. Hard to explain the weirdness, but it sucks. I've found that if I alt-f1 and completely restart gdm, then relogin, the mouse is fixed. Is there any way to reinit the mouse or whatever happens from gdm on without fully losing my session? [18:27] well i know when i try to look in the drive, it says CD-RAM instead of ROM [18:27] could that be the problem? [18:28] Coolslai: no. boot into windows XP [18:28] ok [18:28] Coolslai: again [18:29] now what [18:29] Coolslai: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/vmlinuz and http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/initrd.gz [18:29] Coolslai: download and save these two files [18:30] thomc: what version are you running?

I have a nvidia card, i can work in console mode, so everything works but X. Help please.

Restarting gdm fixes it every time [18:34] the actual isop file [18:34] what does gdm do that affects mouse in some way? [18:34] Coolslai: yes [18:34] not the burned files? [18:34] air0day: restarting GDM totally restarts X. [18:34] Coolslai: no. the .iso file which you had done a md5 checksum on earlier [18:35] Coolslai: copy that .iso (ubuntu alternate cd) to C:\ [18:35] alright, that narrows things down. is there any way to reset/reinit/whatever the part of X that affects the mouse, without fully restarting x? [18:35] i am... should i delete the files that we used last try?

[18:58] hello! i had a 32-bit setup and recently upgraded RAM from 2 to 6 GB. isn't simplest way to address all that is by using a bigmem kernel? [18:58] Coolslai: open up the menu.lst file in C:\ [18:58] now what [18:58] Coolslai: ^^ [18:58] Sandifordd: there are several reasons and we'd need the actual error to properly diagnose. See this for info: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/modprobe-fatal-could-not-load-lib-modules-modules-dep-335214/ [18:58] ok [18:59] with notepad? [18:59] Tukano, in which order did you install Windows and Ubuntu? [18:59] tukano - i dual boot in the menu you go down to windows 7 loader [18:59] if you installed windows 7 first that is [18:59] Coolslai: yes [18:59] zms: windows 7 first [18:59] Ubuntu Maverick = Chuck Norris :D [18:59] Hey how do I change directory to another HDD? [19:00] is it like cd /dev/sda2 or what? [19:00] Sandifordd: when i chose that, i get back to this bootmenu ... i think i f* as i selected boot to be placed on windows 7 boot partition or something like that :S === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [19:00] Tukano, then do like Sandifordd said. You should have an entry to boot into Windows when you boot. Aren't you getting that? [19:00] denieru: no. cd /media/ [19:00] done [19:00] now what [19:00] Coolslai: change this from (hd0,0) to (hd1,0) on both the lines [19:01] hello i installed a thin client, with ltsp but i boot with lan ubuntu start to load then an error: "No init found. try passing init = bootarg" [19:01] there is only 1 line [19:01] please help [19:01] Coolslai: there should be (hd0,0) written twice [19:01] yea if your not getting that option then something went wrong during the install you could try using windows 7 install disc and using the automatic repair thing that may work [19:01] zms: In menu i got: ubuntu, memory test, and windows 7 (loader) (on dev/sda1) [19:01] oh okay [19:01] wait yea that! [19:01] why is there only 1 line? [19:02] the last option you hit that then you get another menu [19:02] how can I expand a .deb into a file structure inside a folder, without installing it, eg.: ~/folder/usr/bin /usr/share/doc etc [19:02] should say windows 7 [19:02] Ubuntu [19:02] Coolslai: that's how it should look. three lines [19:02] and you click windows 7 your not getting that? [19:02] nope only one [19:02] Coolslai: sorry. ya it 128000 [19:02] Jeruvy thanks see if i can find the error [19:02] zms: I get back to the same grub [19:03] send what it should be again [19:03] Coolslai: but it should be on three seperate lines [19:03] Tukano, if you have enough time I would do it all over again.. instaling Windows first then Ubuntu. Install grub ob the MBR not on a partition. [19:03] Coolslai: 128000 [19:03] its only on one, but has that weird square thing in between them [19:03] zms: any chance to fix it somehow? I can see all disks from ubuntu [19:04] Coolslai: ok. delete all the lines in menu.lst [19:04] gabriel__ [19:04] ok done [19:04] Jeruvy - i have this error modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules [19:04] Coolslai: title Install Ubuntu [19:04] Coolslai: that's the first line [19:04] i could reboot and write down exactly everything it says [19:04] kk [19:04] Coolslai: kernel (hd0,0)/hd-media/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=128000 [19:05] Coolslai: that's the second line [19:05] Tukano, personally I don't have experience with Win 7 (yet). But you could boot with Win 7 disk and let it fix the system for you. But it will definitely mess up your MBR. [19:05] Sandifordd: review the link I gave you it has a lot of steps to troubleshoot hopefully to determine the problem. [19:05] how many spaces is that [19:05] k will try [19:05] Coolslai: one space for each blank [19:05] Tukano, I suppose you could then use Ubuntu disk afterwards to reinstall Grub. [19:06] Coolslai: one after kernel, one after vmlinuz [19:06] zms: I think i installed grub on windows 7 boot partition :s [19:06] Coolslai: one after ram0 [19:06] i think you have to redo it all i read somewhere [19:06] lol when that happens [19:06] Tukano, yes, I agree. Win 7 boot disk should be able to fix that bit. [19:07] before you do i reccommend trying the win 7 boot disk [19:07] okay [19:07] Coolslai: initrd (hd0,0)/hd-media/initrd.gz [19:07] zms: no way to edit boot somehow and get it to work? [19:07] Coolslai: that's the third line [19:08] Coolslai: only on space after initrd [19:08] Coolslai: *one [19:08] Tukano, your MBR is fine since you get grub to stage 1 but when you select the menu option for Win 7 it tries to pass on control for booting to Windows' loader which has been overwritten (I think) [19:09] rigved - done [19:09] Tukano, and that's not something you can correct by any config file edit [19:09] Coolslai: http://paste.ubuntu.com/547008/ [19:09] hello i installed a thin client, with ltsp but i boot with lan ubuntu start to load then an error: "No init found. try passing init = bootarg" :s [19:09] Coolslai: check with that to make sure that you have typed it correctly [19:09] yupp its correct - rigved [19:09] zms: gonna try to fix it [19:10] Coolslai: ok. save and close the file [19:10] save as what [19:10] Tukano, first fixing Win 7 by a boot disk, and then fixing MBR by a Ubuntu disk is the only way I see short of reinstalling both Win 7 and Ubuntu. [19:10] Coolslai: just save. not save as [19:10] ok [19:10] so there's no way to default to 'internet site' when installing postfix then? [19:10] Coolslai: this way it'll be saved as C:\menu.lst [19:11] Tukano, you could try and get a second opinion from someone like Sandifordd... [19:11] saved [19:11] Coolslai: ok. now reboot [19:11] ok [19:11] Coolslai: in the boot menu, select "Install Ubuntu" twice [19:11] kk [19:11] hello! i had a 32-bit setup and recently upgraded RAM from 2 to 6 GB. isn't simplest way to address all that is by using a bigmem kernel?

[19:20] zms: no jsut enable PAE like i told you to [19:21] !pae | zms [19:21] zms: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [19:21] My problem is, I need to burn a cd and all my files are mp3's. [19:21] 这个 [19:21] 有谁在吗 [19:21] grizzlyattack: k3b and otehr apps can create a music cd from mp3's if you install the proper extra packages [19:21] grizzlyattack, what do you want them to be mp3's will burn === LinoSP|away is now known as LinoSP [19:21] Hi, we have some serious problems in our kvm-setup in maverick. We do networking ourselves. We give the vm a IP within 10.0.0.0/8 add routing rules to the vm's network bridge and NAT rules so that network-traffic from and to the VM works. We do not add the IP address to the node (i.e. not "ip a a"). In lucid (with the lucid kernel) it works smoothly. In maverick it doesn't. The packets arrive in the vm0 interface from the guest, but don't hit the bridge. Looks [19:21] like there's a change in networking code. Any hints where to look? [19:22] 这谁会用吗 [19:22] 都看不懂 [19:22] !ch | lxt [19:22] lxt: Das Schweizer Team finden sie unter #ubuntu-ch, deutschsprachigen Support bekommen sie aber in #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de oder #edubuntu-de.

[19:23] I get an error when I run, sudo apt-get install libk3b2-mp3 [19:23] Jeruvy: lol its not doing the error anymore haha of course lol [19:23] Tukano: thats great did i help?

[19:23] well rigved what files swhould i have where.... i want to make sure its not just because im missing qa file, or mis placed it [19:23] Sandifordd: yes you did, I hope you can still help me abit with installation of ubuntu again [19:24] Dr_Willis_, KM0201, rigved, ubottu: First off my apologies for incomplete information: I am on Sid. And was following a howto to switch from 32 to 64 bit in place (I did not know about PAE at the time.) I don't think I had switched packages to 64 bit yet when I learnt about PAE. I installed the debian bigmem (PAE enabled) kernel but now I have the errors I mentioned. I just need a pointer or a suggestion about where to begin looking... [19:24] !find libsigc.2.0.so.0 [19:24] Tukano: thats great lol and i will try my best [19:24] Package/file libsigc.2.0.so.0 does not exist in maverick === ElNota is now known as ElNota_ === ElNota_ is now known as ElNota [19:24] Sandifordd: hehe, typical. Good work :) [19:24] Also, some how I went from 10.04, to 11.04. [19:24] !find libsigc-2.0.so.0 [19:24] File libsigc-2.0.so.0 found in ia32-libs, libsigc++-2.0-0c2a [19:24] Coolslai: hd-media should have inird and vmlinuz [19:24] * Maahes bangs his head against the wall [19:24] zms: debian has its own support channels.. i dont think you can upgrade debian from 32bit to 64bit either.. I think a reinstall may be needed for you to fix things now. [19:25] any can help me? [19:25] rigved inird.gz? or inird [19:25] Is there anywhere that has current up-to-date instructions on burning mp3's. [19:25] zms: we only support ubuntu here. Debian Sid is current in the development phase and you should not use it. use Debian lenny [19:25] i have problem mount nfs shares in ubuntu 10.04 [19:25] Coolslai: initrd.gz [19:25] rigved i have that [19:26] Jeruvy: yea well earlier on my google journey lol i had found something about if it freezes only after login that it could be some effects but i dont have compiz installed so i went to appearance effects and went to none...maybe that fixed it? lol i only seem to get these modprobe fatal messages after it locks up on me so ill just wait for it to randomly happen again lol [19:26] what other files should i have rigved [19:26] grizzlyattack, what desktop are you running [19:26] Coolslai: the ubuntu alternate cd .iso file in C:\ [19:26] Dr_Willis_, I understand. I just borrowed my wife's Ubuntu laptop, installed xchat and it directly dropped me here. I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask here as well being similar and all. [19:26] I'm running 11.04, somehow the upgrade from 10.04 jumped. [19:26] grizzlyattack: thats not good... [19:26] just the iso file, or the file iso images? [19:26] zms: /join #debian [19:27] Coolslai: just the one .iso file [19:27] grizzlyattack, no desktops, Ubunu, or Kubuntu [19:27] *Ubuntu [19:27] ok what elkse rigved [19:27] !natty | grizzlyattack [19:27] grizzlyattack: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [19:27] grizzlyattack: only jumps if you tell it to :) [19:27] rigved, I understand. I can see you have your hands full here. I will still try and fix it or reinstall like Dr_Willis_ suggested. [19:27] I updated 10.04 and then did the upgrade and took me to 11.04 [19:27] Coolslai: C:\grldr [19:27] grizzlyattack, did you, do-release-update -d ? [19:28] no [19:28] zms: ok [19:28] grizzlyattack, go to the correct channel #ubuntu+1 [19:28] grizzlyattack: so how did you upgrade exactly? [19:28] Sandifordd: it could be a disk or filesystem issue have you checked your filesystems integrity? [19:28] ok what else [19:28] zms: but install Debian Lenny if you want debian. if you want ubuntu, then install ubuntu 10.04 [19:28] or 10.10 [19:29] lol [19:29] Coolslai: the boot.ini should have the grldr line [19:29] I changed something in Update Manager settings and the Upgrade popped up. [19:29] wats the grldr line? [19:29] I only tweaked the Manager settings because I thought it'd take me to 10.10. [19:29] grizzlyattack: it should have... [19:30] Coolslai: http://paste.ubuntu.com/547019/ [19:30] grizzlyattack: what does « lsb_release -c » return? [19:30] Coolslai: C:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" [19:30] maverick [19:30] should it only say that>? rigved [19:30] grizzlyattack: that's 10.10, not 11.04 [19:30] grizzlyattack: then what makes you think you're on 11.04? [19:30] when I go to, About [19:30] Coolslai: no. it should have other lines as well [19:31] ok [19:31] Coolslai: this grldr is the last line [19:31] then im good [19:31] grizzlyattack: thats an error, its been doing that since natty went beta.. not sure how that happened [19:31] please help me [19:31] there is a bug in 10.10mkaing it read as 11.04 in some parts of the system [19:31] Coolslai: C:\menu.lst [19:31] ah. okay then I should be good I hope. [19:31] Sandifordd: oh here we go: 60 giga disk, 104mb ntfs is windows 7 boot, 40giga ntfs is windows 7, and rest of it, 16gb is for ubuntu ... now question about partition ... shoud I select primary or logical? [19:31] kakashi__: ask your question, if someone can help.. they will [19:31] then my only problem is with mp3's not burning. [19:31] ok [19:31] where can I get help for that [19:31] Coolslai: it should look like this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/547009/ [19:32] grizzlyattack, what is the desktop again Ubuntu, Kubuntu, the man on mars [19:32] Ubuntu. [19:32] grizzlyattack, have you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:32] lol I have no idea [19:33] This may not be the right place for this, but I have a Gateway PC running 9.10. I install an Nvidia graphics card to use with a second display, but now the onboard graphics card isn't working. === jcp2 is now known as Guest16522 [19:33] I'm installing ubuntu on a new computer and resizing a 70GB partition to 60GB. How long should I expect this to take? [19:33] grub-mkconfig is detecting my acer recovery partition and the windows vista partition the wrong way round. [19:33] I'm sure I haven't though [19:33] in the terminal run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras === Guest16522 is now known as jcp2 [19:33] grizzlyattack, last message for you [19:34] how can I make grub mkconfig have /dev/sda1 as the recovery partition, and /dev/sda2 as windows vista? [19:34] jcp2: ah.. it depends on how much data neesd to be moved... 10gigs is pretty close to bare minimum though [19:34] grizzlyattack, meant for you [19:34] jcp2: not too long. a few minutes [19:34] (This was all alot easier when there was a menu.lst) [19:34] Giles: I agree. [19:34] ok rigved, what else? [19:34] Giles: amen brother [19:34] Okay, I got that going [19:34] * KM0201 misses menu.lst [19:35] rigved, KM0201: Ok. It's been over 1/2 hour thus far, and the installer is still showing 0%. The hard disk light has been solid on, though, so it's doing something. Should I get worried it's stuck? [19:35] * Coolslai wants the abillity to not have to go to technical support for help :( [19:35] Remember when we were able to put different boot options in whatever order we wanted? [19:35] anyway, there seems to be nothing in 20_os_prober [19:35] jcp2: half hour, and its stuck on 0%? [19:35] or whatever it is. [19:35] Giles, look at /etc/grub/ [19:35] * Coolslai wants to not HAVE to go for help at all [19:35] jcp2: when you look at the 'details'... does it look like its moving === nirazio is now known as Guest98096 [19:35] Felix00: its /etc/grub.d/ [19:35] Coolslai: where are you planning to go for tech support/ [19:35] Giles, there are files which make grub.cfg [19:35] KM0201, nothing like hand making the stanzas I miss being beat by my parents [19:36] km0201 lol here [19:36] nit-wit: lmao.. [19:36] Felix00: how do they work. [19:36] Anyone have any ideas on getting the onboard graphics card working again? Quit working when I installed a PCIe Nvidia card. [19:36] nit-wit will that give me what I need "out of box"? [19:36] Giles, just edit the other_os and linux (they are simmilar to menu.lst but with variables.) [19:36] Coolslai: eh, i like i there... i think your problem is yout ried an install of ubuntu, while having a wubi install... another fine mess wubi has caused (iirc, that was the problem anyway) [19:36] grizzlyattack, you need it know matter what but I have never had a problem with burning a mp3 [19:36] <[lan3y]> Whats the best way to downgrade a package? [19:37] Giles, in the line that sets partition, change properly [19:37] fuck shpould i just wipe my hard drives and start over? [19:37] Coolslai: personally if it were me, i'd hav done reinstalled everything from CD(windows and Linux).. [19:37] [lan3y]: Forcing version in freenode and reinstalling it [19:37] KM0201: It just now told me the operation has been aborted [19:37] Giles, look for hd(x,y) [19:37] Coolslai: i'd have done that hours ago. [19:37] Tukano: sorry took so long what was the question?? [19:37] anyone know how to allow exim to use piping for system_aliases apparently the ubuntu package comes with it disabled? [19:37] and now it's showing that the hard disk has 0MB used [19:37] So is my data gone? [19:37] wanna help? [19:37] Coolslai: Please stop swearing. [19:37] I tried burning with a fresh install of Ubuntu but it kept removing my files from Brasero. And then when I tried k3b, it kept giving me errors. [19:37] or is there any way to get it back? [19:37] [lan3y]: sorry, synaptic [19:37] jcp2: i sure hope not.. [19:37] sorry idle one [19:37] Felix00: there is no other_os [19:37] Coolslai: checking if a solution is available [19:37] sorry idleone [19:37] Hello, [19:37] Coolslai: help w/ what? [19:37] rigved ty [19:37] Sandifordd: well, i'm installing again, and i selected whole disk, to put boot loader in, thats ok? [19:37] Giles, 30_otheros [19:38] wiping my hard drive lol [19:38] Felix00: hold on let me just check again, rebooted that machine. [19:38] Can anyone help me with some gui problems I'm having? [19:38] sure Giles [19:38] sorry,,, Please? [19:38] Coolslai: the thing is.. if you have the disks to restore Windows.. you'd reinstall windos in about 20-30min.. update, etc.. crap in another 30.. partition drive, another 30, install ubuntu, 10-15min... now, how long have you been trying to solve this mess? [19:38] grizzlyattack, you should try the #ubuntu-beginners channel as well lots of good help this is a noob problem to be honest [19:38] hours [19:39] Tukano: best to have separate /home /swap and maybe /var and /tmp partitions, but one is ok too [19:39] shcherbak: I'll try that [19:39] Coolslai: if its any consolation.. i went, drove 3mi, dropped off my recycle stuff, went, stood in line for 20min to get a thumb drive, came home downloaded 10.10, put on thumb drive, booted, and installed, updated, and installed/configured all my programs, on my laptop.. in the time you've been dealing w/ this [19:39] lol [19:40] Tukano: so boot flag goes to / and rest can be logical... [19:40] yay! i hate this [19:40] lol [19:40] lol [19:40] Coolslai: do you have a windows cd? [19:40] yeah [19:40] not with me though [19:40] for cryin out loud dude, boot a live CD, and an external drive, back up anything important, and nuke that thing. [19:41] rigved km0201 brb quesry me what your solution is rigved and km0201 tell me what ur gunna suggest [19:41] Tukano: if you really want you can create /boot, but / (whith will include /boot) is good for normal use. [19:41] Coolslai: and let it be a lesson, next time someone in here says how awesome wubi is... tell them your story [19:41] brb [19:41] I cannot adjust my screen brightness in ubuntu 10.10, does anyone know how to fix this? [19:41] Coolslai: i already told you... start both OS's from scratch.. it'd take max 2hrs. [19:41] Felix00: okay, all I have is 30_os-prober [19:41] and you've been working on this at least 4-5 [19:41] shcherbak: if i did it wrong again this time, i'm just gonna repair with windows cd, and try again :) [19:42] Tukano: ok, one second... [19:43] anyone? [19:43] Felix00: I can't make head nor tail of it. [19:43] anyone use qtnx?

[19:46] Felix00: I am using sudo === roberto_ is now known as zuuuu [19:46] can i join on this discus [19:46] Giles, ospreobe i think its the os probe that ubuntu made during install [19:46] Tukano: all (exept swap = ext4), sizes (more-less) / - around 5gb; /usr - 10-15 gb (min 5); swar 1-2gb (if any); /home -rest; /var - 5gb (if any), /tmp - 5gb (if any). if you do /var /tmp /usr than / partition can be scalled down [19:46] KM0201, I said "merry christmas and happy new year" sorry.

[19:47] ups sorrt [19:47] N4ck0: of course.. it's an open discussion here, so long as it stays on topic [19:47] sorry [19:47] Felix00: sudo nano /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober [19:47] phzin: :) [19:47] is there? [19:47] :D [19:47] what topic now [19:47] N4ck0: no real topic, just when people need help, offer help if you can. [19:48] yes [19:48] yes Giles , whats wrong? does it works? [19:48] N4ck0: right now, i'd say the majority of the channel is laughing at Coolslai situation..lol [19:48] is finding /dev/sda1 as windows vista, and /dev/sda2 as recovery partition. [19:48] Felix00: I just want to change the menu labels [19:49] rigved im back [19:49] Tukano: so, it will stay in front of linux on hard drive. only important think is to make / phisical partition and make bootable. [19:49] Felix00: it should be /dev/sda2 windows vista, and /dev/sda1 recovery [19:49] rigved what do u want me to do? [19:49] Coolslai: boot into ZP [19:49] i am [19:49] Giles: you mean the volume label?... how it shows up int he places menu? [19:49] Coolslai: boot into XP [19:49] Coolslai: oj [19:49] ok [19:49] shcherbak: will try that after this install, in case i did it wrong again :) [19:49] KM0201: no the grub menu [19:49] Coolslai: make a new folder C:\ubuntu [19:49] Giles: oh ok.. i don't mess w/ Grub2.. grub.conf scares me... [19:49] rigved okay [19:50] Coolslai: thats a ubuntu folder in C:\ [19:50] KM0201: where is grub.conf then? [19:50] Wait, did Coolslai hose his system with the wubi installer? Like, tried to do a real install with wubi or the install that makes ubuntu an application within windows? [19:50] Giles, if you only got 30_os-prober in /etc/grub.d/ youre missing 6 or 7 config files [19:50] Giles: i think editing entries the way you want to, is a bit more involved.. its not like in the days of menu.lst wherre you could pretty much do anything... sadly [19:50] i love how everybody is like trying to figue out why my computer hates me [19:50] Giles: you should not edit grub.conf directly [19:50] shcherbak: you still here? [19:50] Giles, each file lets you change the way grub.cfg is generated [19:50] Felix00: no, thats not the only file, just the closest match to what you told me to look for. [19:50] hm, yes? [19:51] Coolslai: i just can't believe your'e still working on it.. .amazed actually. [19:51] i have 00_header [19:51] 05_debian_theme [19:51] hi, I just recently installed ubuntu with lamp, now my apache is set up wrong and I don't see any errors, any idea how to turn them on again? I really need to see php errors... [19:51] 10_linux [19:51] you said to tukano something about /swap and such [19:51] in example 10_linux lets you change the menu entry and linux command in that entry [19:51] 20_linux_xen [19:51] is it bad if you dont have it? [19:51] km0201 lol whys that? [19:51] KM0201: and i'm tired. this is my last try :) [19:51] Felix00: oh... [19:51] km0201 although its been 10+ hours [19:51] Coolslai: cuz like i said, i'd have done nuked both OS's and fixed it... [19:51] Coolslai: have you made the C:\ubuntu folder? [19:52] rigved yes [19:52] Yeah, the one thing I dislike about ubuntu is: no longer know how to reinit a system that's crashed and recovered after Magic Keys: Raising Elephants, no longer know how to make modifications X resources, or how to screw around with Grub. Because all of that has changed in the last few releases. [19:52] Giles, ok, so lookup for XX_windows or something. Use "grep -re "windows" ." [19:52] Coolslai: thats ridiculous.. you could have reinstalled and updated/reinstalled all yoru software, on both OS's.. in about 2-3hrs tops [19:52] Coolslai: copy the files under C:\hd-media to C:\ubuntu [19:52] Sandifordd: swap? no, it is not needed if you have enought ram (apart of some tasks). [19:52] Coolslai: i knew you'd been here a while but not that long [19:52] rigved do i keep hp-media folder too? [19:52] Giles, use that command line inside /etc/grub.d/ [19:52] Felix00: I don't have XX_windows or something. [19:52] km0201 lol well now u kno [19:52] Coolslai: os, now in C:\ubuntu, you have only two files. no folders [19:53] Coolslai: *so ^^ [19:53] shcherbak: okay now could it cause ubuntu to say...lock-up? if i didnt have it [19:53] rigved do i keep hp-media folder too? [19:53] itzed.org [19:53] Coolslai: in that case, that list of stuff i said i done while you were working on this... you can add "slept 8hrs" also...lol [19:53] Coolslai: after copying, delete that folder [19:53] ok [19:53] rigved done [19:53] http://www.sabily.org is an Ubuntu Distro for Muslims [19:54] Coolslai: now copy the .iso ubuntu alternate cd file to C:\ubuntu [19:54] Giles, ok, so lookup for XX_windows or something. Use "grep -re "Windows" ." [19:54] Felix00: I have: 00_header 05_debian_theme 10_linux 20_linux_xen 20_memtest86+ 30_os-prober 40_custom 41_custom [19:54] hi [19:54] rigved, do i copy or cut [19:54] rigved the file [19:54] Coolslai: copy [19:54] nobody here who knows about this error showing problem with apache2 and php under ubuntu? I really can't find ANYTHING at all on that, I've tried every setting, in the php.ini, the httpd.conf [19:54] hey can any one tell me to set timmer for shut doun via terminal [19:55] Giles, Use "grep -re "Windows" ." [19:55] rigved done [19:55] I've got a faulty disk in my mdadm array -- before I replace it I want to "format" it and ty adding it back in. should I just dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda it? [19:55] Coolslai: after you have copied successfully, then you can delete the .iso file under C:\ [19:55] ok [19:55] Sandifordd: never happend to me (well in most cases have swap), yes lack of available memory can crush system, i guess it can be avoided. [19:55] Coolslai: so in C:\ubuntu, you have 3 files [19:55] drupal [19:55] rigved - done [19:55] #join Drupal [19:56] Giles, my output: http://pastebin.com/xtAtXPqY [19:56] Sandifordd: how much ram do you have? [19:56] Coolslai: and you have deleted C:\hd-media and the .iso file under C:\ [19:56] km0201 i wonder how many people have the same problem i have [19:56] help me [19:56] ? [19:56] rigved - yes [19:56] Coolslai: well, lots of problems start w/ Wubi... [19:56] #drupal === ng_ is now known as NG_ [19:56] Any one here familiar with getting a Broadcom BCM4321 working correctly? [19:57] how to set timmer for shutdown via terminal [19:57] Can not get it to work at 802.11n speed [19:57] juniour: sudo shutdown -h xxx xxx is time in seconds [19:57] Felix00: I think I need to look more thourghly through 30_os-prober [19:57] km0201 why wubi?

[19:58] Coolslai: one moment [19:58] Coolslai: u have have to ask?.. how long you been dealing w/ this [19:58] Giles, perhaps it may be on 40_ or 41_ [19:58] (im on debian) [19:58] MAYBE you blindly just solved my problem lol! k if i have ubuntu already installed can i still make a swap? [19:58] rigved ok [19:58] KM0201: Coolslai cannot boot from CD [19:58] time to boot a USB [19:59] km0201 lol [19:59] StupidX, thanks will give it a go [19:59] rigved: why can he not boot a CD? [19:59] Felix00: no 40 and 41 are almost empty [19:59] i'm sure i probably missed that part of the discussion while iw as sleeping my 8hrs [20:00] KM0201: his computer is cannot maybe because it's 8 years old [20:00] Coolslai: ok. reboot [20:00] rigved ok [20:00] hmm... wonder if it can boot a network device [20:00] Hi I need some help with a dlink DWA-140 and ubuntu 10.04 [20:00] alaing: is that internal or usb? [20:00] usb [20:01] Coolslai: either this works or one more slight variation. but then i do not know what to do [20:01] Felix00: I don't really understand how to fix, the os-prober script, I just want to edit the generated output, where ever that goes?! [20:01] ok rigved [20:01] it sees my wifi network [20:01] Felix00: this generates a grub.conf? [20:01] but will nto connect [20:01] Felix00: where does that file belong? [20:01] alaing: yeah, i think its a ralink chipset, hang on [20:01] rigved , error 154 [20:01] rigved , error 15 [20:02] I did have MAC control and WPA but I turned those off [20:02] how do i check [20:02] Coolslai: boot into XP [20:02] its the one that virgin media dish out [20:02] Coolslai: last variation [20:02] rigved lol standard procedure i already did lol [20:02] rigved , well its loading [20:02] lol [20:02] wow seems like N is kind of a miss when it comes to broadcom [20:02] Coolslai: :D [20:03] Coolslai: so no error this time? [20:03] can i give timmer for any programm [20:03] no it was the same error [20:03] except it was 1,0 instead of 0,0 [20:03] alaing: do you ahve anything under system/admin/hardware drivers [20:03] does dlink have their own irc channel? [20:03] Coolslai: :( ohh you meant you had already started booting into XP [20:04] Coolslai: ok [20:04] yeah [20:04] alaing: even if they did, its unlikely they support linux [20:04] KM0201: let me check [20:04] sorry rigved [20:04] Hello everyone, I love ubuntu 10.10 but i can't mount to my ipod- any suggestions [20:04] Coolslai: np [20:04] Giles, each file in /etc/grub.d/ is a script used by update-grub2(deprecated) and grub-mkconfig. Each one loads in order of his numbers, so you can add a 25_windows that will be load after 20 and 30 ... And yes, those scripts serve to build grub.cfg. DO NOT EDIT /boot/grub/grub.cfg , because next time you update kernel, or run update-grub youll miss it [20:04] whats your last resort? lol wipe everything sclean? rigved [20:04] Giles, for further info read man grub2 [20:04] :) [20:05] Coolslai: this time, after booting into XP, insert the alternate cd again [20:05] rigved ddone [20:05] KM0201: I dont see hardware drivers. I'm using server edition with gnome desktop installed [20:05] Felix00: Is this stupidly over complicated, what was wrong with menu.lst, and grub-update [20:06] alaing: system/admin/additional drivers maybe?... the name has changed for that tool several tiems [20:06] can i set timmer to start application [20:06] juniour: yes, use "at" === petr is now known as Guest88397 [20:06] Felix00: it trys to fail proof detect my windows partitions, and it dosen't work right. [20:06] like music [20:06] Coolslai: copy that to C:\ [20:06] Giles, menu.lst belongs to grub 1 times [20:06] Coolslai: replace the older menu.lst file [20:06] HAY [20:06] rigved i got this error when clicking on the link [20:06] Could not locate content blob for object 9ba8e268-dfe6-4e8e-b653-1562cb53a005 [20:07] jrib how i set timmer for music or many application [20:07] KM0201: nope nothing that seems to suggest drivers [20:07] skurwysyny [20:07] juniour: use the "at" command [20:07] Felix00: it was easy to do this sort of "fix" though...

[20:14] :D [20:14] Tanner|AC: search it in synaptic, remove it, then run sudo update-grub [20:14] that must be it.. [20:14] thats how i do itl. [20:14] Tanner|AC: use synaptic or apt to remove the appropriate linux-image-* package [20:14] Tanner|AC: you delete iot from the /boot/ folder [20:14] Tanner|AC: you should not delete anything [20:14] debugg3r: seriously, stop.. [20:15] well instead learning people the gui thing [20:15] debugg3r: would *_custom most likely be the other OS, or what would it be?

[20:15] alaing: what package? [20:15] after installing the new one [20:15] debugg3r: if you delete apt-managed files yourself you'll leave apt thinking something is installed when it isn't. You should always use APT to manage APT-installed software [20:15] then select from grub [20:16] debugg3r: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:16] to tell you what chipset it is [20:16] No wonder why people say that Ubuntu spirit is not followed by the IRC channel [20:16] what would happen if i switched my motherboard and processor and plugged everything back in. how would the OS react? [20:16] this is pure fascism [20:16] alaing: why did yo install server edition and then put gnome on it?... why not install desktop, and install the server apps you want? [20:17] alaing, KM0201: there's jockey-text and jockey-gtk (the Additional Drivers app) [20:17] debugg3r: let's stay on the topic of ubuntu support [20:17] yeah, it must not be installed on Server.. [20:17] another fascist example [20:17] of the code of conduct [20:17] jrib thanks. KM0201 let me install those and see if it helps [20:17] alaing: you can try installing jockey-gtk... [20:18] debugg3r: what is your problem? [20:18] alaing: note I have no clue what the context is about your situation. Was just mentioning those two apps [20:18] So I can remove "linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic" if i have "linux-image-2.6.35-23-generic" ? [20:18] Tanner|AC: yep [20:18] ok [20:18] guntbert why are you being a discussion invader? [20:18] someone doesnt likes to be corrected [20:18] Tanner|AC: yes... then after you remove it, close syanptic and run "sudo update-grub" [20:18] KM0201: bye. maybe you can tell Coolslaihow to do net install. i do not understand how to set the dhcp server in XP [20:18] thats all [20:18] rigved [20:18] rigved: lol.. i'll see if i can help him [20:18] debugg3r: I beg your pardon? [20:18] just enable your goddamn network device [20:19] debugg3r: yes? [20:19] it automatically looks for a dhcp server [20:19] on windows [20:19] Coolslai: so what exactly can your PC do... i've kinda lost track of your situation.. can it boot anything? [20:19] debugg3r: ok. that's good. does it work with the net install of ubuntu? [20:19] I finally found an active room with my android mirc app [20:19] yes [20:19] if its dhcp [20:19] yes [20:20] Coolslai: > debugg3r [20:20] debugg3r: thanx. bye [20:20] no problem.

[20:26] Datz, don't forget to do sudo update-grub after the changes [20:26] Dr_Willis_: she installed server edition, and gnome on top of it.. id on't think she has jockey installed, because she doesn't have system/admin/additional drivers === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [20:27] alaing: /msg ubottu offline will give you several options (including using http://packages.ubuntu.com).

Sometimes after a while the system crashes completely [20:43] john565: you plan on using the gui? [20:44] yes [20:44] john565: bad ram? run memtest [20:44] jrib, behaviour is as expected [20:44] john565: ubuntu will be very sluggish with only 256mb. You should try xubuntu or use minimal and build from there [20:44] StrangeCharm: which one did you try? [20:44] i have checked ram and checksummed the CD [20:44] jrib, tor [20:44] john565: how long have you let the installer sit for? [20:44] i realize it will run sluggishly but want to install anyway [20:44] an hour [20:44] StrangeCharm: tor is also an init.d script (not really an upstart script)?

[20:46] i cant boot from usb , i got asus mobo [20:46] tas: kill -SIGKILL 4125 4129 4133 4297 (IF firefox has not started, do this only once) then try again. [20:46] wizardslovak: really no option in the bios? [20:46] yes [20:46] StrangeCharm: if you read the tor script, it looks like a normal sysv-init script? In any case, what's the exit status when you try to do "/etc/init.d/thttpd start"? [20:46] i did enabled it , i pot it as first boot device [20:46] wizardslovak: it'd be in the boot order section, you have to have the USB drive plugged in before entering BIOS [20:46] but it says that no bootable media found [20:46] Dcite, no such process.. [20:47] and i made that usb from ubuntu [20:47] genewitch, for instance? [20:47] jrib: so is it known behaviour for the installer to hang with 256 M? because system requirements do have that as the minimum [20:47] hello ppl. [20:47] i m here first time [20:47] john565: 256 is really not enough to use a Live CD Installer, look at the alternate install cd [20:47] tas: hold on [20:47] tas: That's fine.. I am trying to kill all firefox processes to see if it was just a stalled process. [20:47] KM0201: thanks. [20:47] john565: I wouldn't bother with it. Even if it worked, the system would be close to unusable [20:47] Dcite, ok [20:47] jrib, i don't feel qualified to make that assessment. i don't know what the exit status is, how would i find out? [20:48] tas: the one i use is called "Download Youtube Videos +" Version 2.3.1 [20:48] Hi, I cannot make that dhcp3-server starts on boot. Once booted, I can do "sudo service dhcp3-server start" and then works. [20:48] tas: it does youtube, audio, and video, from any site. [20:48] jrib: it's not my machine. the point is if it runs otherwise i will get the owner to add RAM [20:48] is it true that running Ubuntu on single core CPU not so enjoying ?? [20:48] StrangeCharm: pastebin the tor script if you don't mind. You can type "echo $?" after trying to start thttpd [20:48] tas: 2 checks.. 1: does "ps auxw | grep -i firefox" still return alot of lines? 2: if not please start firefox again. [20:48] john565: I have installed on 256mb ram before. Checksum the cd [20:48] jrib: done [20:48] Dcite: you do know there is a pgrep, right? [20:48] john565: actually, I may have installed hardy and upgraded === pipeep_ is now known as pipeep [20:49] genewitch: I'm too used to grep to use pgrep (saw it, didn't research it) [20:49] there's pgrep and pkill [20:49] Dcite, YAY!! it worked :D thanks!!

[20:50] tas: reset the whole system just for firefox ?! [20:50] is it possible to open up nautilus with multiple tabs in one command [20:50] well there's different for firefox and firefox-bin [20:50] Anybody knows how can I make the dhcp start when the machine boots? [20:50] Dcite, oh no, the firefox is now reset..

[20:53] kresp0: are you sure it's not running? paste a ps aux to pastebin or pocoo.org [20:53] shcherbak, and why is that plugin nice? [20:53] Dcite: it tries to install java again. which hard locks the server. [20:53] genewitch, and have you already run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ?

It is looking fine in windows. [21:05] genewitch, Its not the case that the whole hard disk is not accessing. I have problem with only one partition,.... [21:05] cg_cnu: it's probably not automounting is all. You need to do some reading on how to determine what /dev/sd* it is, and then how to mount /dev/sd*2 as ntfs to wherever you want it. if there's a way to do it from the desktop, someone else here can help. i'm a Command Line Interface sort of guy.

[21:06] I am unable to access one partition in my hard disk.......can some one help me out. [21:07] you know what [21:07] evolution sucks! [21:07] cg_cnu: say "one of my partitions is not being automounted" it's more descriptive. [21:07] cg_cnu: also, the fact that it is NTFS should be in there somewhere.

[21:13] internal volumes are never automounted [21:13] cg_cnu, nano /etc/fstab display info on pastebin please [21:13] mgolisch, how to do that..........? [21:13] I created an extended partition /dev/sdc3, then pointed it there. For the bootloader I chose the location /dev/sdc (which was wrong, I think). [21:13] okay how do I tell make to give me a list of its params ? [21:13] rcharles: good question! i also want to know this. ubuntu is a bit complicated to find out yourself. [21:13] SimplySeth: just read the makefile [21:13] aeon-ltd: .. thanks [21:13] artos: you can pretty much use the default settings and just delete all other partitions except the windows [21:13] hmm yeah mgolisch I have a shared partition on nfts but i'll try your prog thx [21:13] lighta, you mean i have to type..... nano /etc/fstab in to terminal and paste bin the output. [21:14] yes [21:14] yeah.. [21:14] artos: except you will want to let the installer know you want to keep the windows os [21:14] so now I have /dev/sdc1 with Win7, /dev/sdc3 with Ubuntu, and I'm not getting the bootloader menu [21:14] I just boot straight into Win7 [21:14] kresp0: i saw. the only thing i can thing of is that it is not configured correctly. It's outside my area of expertise. [21:14] SimplySeth: sorry, but for one time compiles its easier to edit the file than to override during the process [21:14] lighta, ok......here is the link. http://pastebin.com/y5buMDn8 [21:14] artos: hold down F8 when booting - does that give you options? [21:15] artos: i heard people editing this and it sounded like a hassle to me so I just gave reinstalling ubuntu again till i got it right [21:15] ok, thank you for your help genewitch [21:15] I can try that genewitch [21:15] artos: ya F8 might show results [21:15] g'day all. I have used https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed to work around https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/672352 , but the same procedure fails on another machine. The config looks good but aptitude doesn't show the package version from -proposed. Any idea why this could be, or when this is likely to move from proposed to maverick ? [21:15] artos: windows will let you load ubuntu, AND ubuntu will let you load windows, you have to pick which way you want it to work before you install the bootloader for either OS. [21:15] artos: another thing you can do, if you give me one second [21:15] So nobody know how to change the paths of places in the sidebar? [21:16] I tried to fix GRUB2 from the terminal, but to no avail [21:16] artos: which terminal? [21:16] genewitch: dont think windows lets you [21:16] the terminal in the livecd ubuntu [21:16] artos, you can do repair install from Ubuntu CD & have it reinstall Grub in the master boot record [21:16] Goddard: it does, WUBI uses it to dual boot. [21:16] genewitch: oh this is wubi [21:16] really? [21:16] lighta, is that ok.....or anything worng. [21:16] it gives me two options keldrum: install or 'try now', which loads the LiveCD [21:16] genewitch: i didnt use wubi [21:17] Goddard: well you can tell windows' bootloader to load another OS the same as you can tell grub. [21:17] hmm, it's the file I wanted if you mean this [21:17] is it possible to install ubuntu 10.04 server with a usb drive as / [21:17] you need to add the mouted point [21:17] is your partition internal [21:17] but does it matter what type my partitions are? If they are extended or primary? [21:17] or usb ? [21:17] genewitch: you can "tell it" by editing the bootloader ya but if you do the install right it is automatic [21:17] can you see it on something like dolphin ? [21:17] dispay df [21:17] artos: in windows, go to my computer and right click and select properties, in there on the left select advanced system settings, in there go to the advanced tab, in there click the startup and recovery settings button [21:18] artos - use the install option. should detect existing OSs & give option to repair Grub === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [21:18] artos: in that window you can select how long the boot prompt shows up in the windows bootloader. [21:18] artos: or type msconfig [21:18] artos: thus making it so you don't have to press F8. [21:18] I'm on webchat.freenote.net [21:18] how do I see a list of channels? [21:18] yeah but i don't want the windows bootloader, i want grub to load first, right? [21:18] Jordan: /list [21:18] Jordan: /list? [21:18] artos: same thing [21:19] thanks [21:19] the wubi installer says it has most of the features of a regular ubuntu install, whats missing ? [21:19] hi, I'm trying to identify what the smallest possible ubuntu 10.04 server install is. [21:19] needhelp1: the ability to partition your disk, and that sort of thing [21:19] rather, is it possible to not install the 'full amount'? [21:19] needhelp1: also you can't do a net install. [21:19] wondering if I can crap base + some extra packages in under 1GB [21:19] kreign: you can pick which packages you want to install. [21:19] The /list isn't working [21:19] needhelp1: the real filesystem [21:19] Artos - if grub is installed in the MBR (during repair), it will replace windows bootloader [21:19] industry__, hmm where are those options specified? [21:19] but i wouldn't suggest getting rid of base -- those are generally important files [21:20] yeah exactly [21:20] bonsoir! hello! [21:20] in the installer, I don't know, usually I remove extraneous packages via apt-get after installation [21:20] aeon-ltd, when i when to finish the wubi installer, it did create a new ext4 partition though ... [21:20] In my fdisk -l output only one partition is marked as 'boot': the Windows 7 one. http://pastebin.com/E2Q6xGJt [21:20] industry__, any idea if I could push the 'base install' under 800Mb? [21:20] needhelp1: oh right, you didn't do the contained inside windows install [21:20] quelqu'un est français? [21:20] This made me suspicious, shouldn't the Ubuntu partition also be marked as boot? [21:20] but that doesn't help if you have limited space to install on and you need to cut down the system during installation [21:20] I had a fresh copy of Meerkat installed and whenever I try to install firefox addons i get a error and it wont let me install them [21:20] artos: no [21:21] Last week my 10.04 server crashed when i tried to apt-get java. Now i can't install anything with apt-get, it says "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." when i run that command, it freezes again (because it's just trying to install java again) with these errors on the VC: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/309055/ How do i tell apt to stop trying to install java? [21:21] ok [21:21] kreign: i'm probably not the best person to ask about this, i haven't tried before. [21:21] how do i connect to facebook in empathy? i keep getting network error [21:21] "one of my partitions in the ntfs hard disk is not being automounted".....can some one help me out..... [21:21] i will try to reinstall one more using the default settings then [21:21] needhelp1: then you essentially missed nothing, you only miss some features if you do the inside windows install [21:21] and hope for a grub repair dialog [21:21] ill be back later, hopefully [21:21] artos: the windows vista/7 bootloader is a lot more feature rich than it used to be. pastebin your grub.conf [21:22] make sure to put Grub on MBR [21:22] artos: what keldrum said. [21:22] genewitch: is that on the amazon cloud [21:22] ikonia: yes. [21:22] yeah if the installer lets me i certainly will [21:22] ikonia: that's irrelevant. i decided i don't want java after all, i just want a working package manager again. [21:22] i thought it would do that automatically [21:22] bbl [21:22] genewitch: you may want to call them as that is a serious issue [21:22] why does evolution suck so bad with gmail [21:22] artos: it does ask you. [21:22] genewitch: maybe try dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove on the package? [21:23] aeon-ltd, thanks for the information [21:23] industry__: it's not going to work as it's segfaulting [21:23] i used the advanced partitioning thing [21:23] dpkg is segfaulting? [21:23] industry__: how do i determine which package it is? as i said this was last week, it was sun-jre-java6 or something [21:23] aeon-ltd, the weird thing is, it didnt have the normal partion manager that ask's where i want to put the new filesystem ... seems like that is risky [21:23] industry__: java hangs the server for some reason [21:24] aeon-ltd, could of wrote over the windows ntfs portion [21:24] hmm I can launch the installer from the live cd [21:24] genewitch, and for the record: finally got the dhcpd working on boot adding "sleep 30" under /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server "start" option [21:24] Hello all! [21:24] industry__: it appears to be causing a kernel panic [21:24] you can look up package names with aptitude earh [21:24] ill run it now, so I can stay on iRC [21:24] "aptitude search", sorry [21:24] adding sleep 30s [21:24] kresp0: good to know, i am glad you got it working. [21:24] i'll try and remember that for the future. [21:24] thank you, bye [21:24] one of my partitions in the ntfs hard disk is not being automounted.....can some one help me out [21:25] needhelp1: hmm, next time you boot into windows check your 'C:/' directory if there is a file there over the size of 8gb then that is the ext4 fs inside a file [21:25] cg_cnu, most likely it wasn't cleanly unmounted [21:25] cg_cnu: yupp [21:25] ikonia: i don't think the package manager is segfaulting [21:25] genewitch: it certainly appears to be causing a kernel panic [21:25] cg_cnu: add it to fstab [21:25] ikonia, are we talking about the same thing? [21:25] DasEi, how to do that..... [21:25] cg_cnu, use the auto option [21:25] aeon-ltd, if there is, does that mean its the ubuntu inside windows like you spoke about [21:25] ? [21:25] cg_cnu: open a terminal .. [21:25] ikonia: it's saying java is tainted, whatever the hell that means. [21:25] !fstab [21:25] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [21:25] DasEi, ok.. [21:25] cg_cnu: sudo fdisk -l [21:25] cg_cnu, check ur pm [21:25] genewitch: it's also segfaulting the kernel [21:26] oops, panicing the kernel I mean [21:26] genewitch: is your machine hanging ? [21:26] needhelp1: yes [21:26] cg_cnu: which parti is it ? /dev/sd.. [21:26] ikonia: yeah, i gathered that because i have to reboot from the admin console. [21:26] genewitch: right, so contact amazon [21:26] genewitch,ikonia: oh yeah, that is a kernel panic [21:26] DasEi, what is pm. [21:26] it's not amazon's kernel, it's ubuntu's [21:27] DasEi, well it will show the ntfs drive is of the ntfs type [21:27] genewitch: it's hosted on amazons platform [21:27] the EC2 kernel is alive and well on the admin console. [21:27] that's pretty strange though. still, you should be able to uninstall it through the package manager [21:27] DasEi, oh whoops [21:27] ikonia: that's like saying call dell if my laptop's ubuntu install is hanging. [21:27] dotblank: nvm [21:27] lol [21:27] cg_cnu: I'll pm you [21:27] ec2 kernel is still running, it's the ubuntu kernel that's crashing. [21:27] genewitch: it's not, as the amazon virtual platform / cloud has been known to cause issues like this [21:27] KM0201: my link is a ralink [21:27] anyone know parameters to get uShare to make music & pics available to xBox 360? Movie share is working already & all three shares listed in /etc/uShare.conf [21:28] genewitch: it seems to be a panic in hypervisor (virtual machine) code [21:28] industry__: exactly [21:28] which is probably why you're being told to talk to amazon. [21:28] KM0201: rt2870 [21:28] alaing: which one, there's like 3 or 4 different ones i think (whats the numbers after ralink?) [21:28] cg_cnu: saw the addional window in your messenger ? [21:28] ah [21:28] anyone use a HighPoint RocketRaid 2310 ... if so can the annoying blue screen be disabled ? Thanks. [21:28] i don't have a service contract - i just want to tell apt to forget everything it knows about java. [21:28] since that would be their hypervisor [21:28] genewitch: it's not that [21:28] keldrum, I am not familiar with that software.. have you tried access their support channels perhaps they have a channel on freenode? [21:28] SimplySeth: contact highpoint support, we don't support your hardware here [21:29] well like I said, you can try to force remove the package, but chances are this wont help [21:29] wel, if it doesn't work [21:29] Ok so I'm in the installer, in the Advanced Partitioning dialog: http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ScreenshotInstall.png [21:29] ikonia: yeah .. but I took the chance that perhaps someone knows how to disable it .. thanks [21:29] KM0201: managed to install jocket-gfk and jockey-text and now it shows my the hardware drivers options. I found those details by typeing in the terminal lsusb [21:29] genewitch, you want to remove java from apt? but have a different version installed out of repo? [21:29] I have a /dev/sdc3 partition that I created earlier, its ext4 and has Ubuntu on it. But I will reformat for this install === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [21:29] i don't want java at all, dotblank [21:30] Then in the bottom there is "Device for boot loader installation". What should I select? [21:30] i was going to try and run a minecraft server, but someone else took care of it, so i don't need java at all. [21:30] /dev/sdc? /dev/sdc3? [21:30] artos: MBR [21:30] genewitch, you should be able to just remove it with apt normally unless its different on the cloud? [21:30] artos: master boot record [21:30] Hello, having trouble installing UNR [21:30] KM0201: brb jjust switching machines [21:30] genewitch, do you know if you are using the sun jvm or openjdk's [21:30] dotblank: it never fully installed, the kernel paniced on the apt-get install java part [21:30] !details | Fugue [21:30] Fugue: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:31] genewitch, ouch thats scary [21:31] genewitch: it's a problem with the amazon platform [21:31] back [21:31] genewitch, that really shouldn't happen [21:31] cd.. [21:31] alright i'll just start the thing from scratch. [21:31] when booting from USB drive, the command line runs but the install graphic nevr shows up [21:31] artos: /dev/sdc to get Grub on MBR & uncheck formatting or data on those partitions will be lost. Did it recognize windows on the other partition? [21:31] the only thing you can do is try to remove the package in its inconsistent state, and if that doesn't work, then you'll need to talk to amazon. [21:31] there's really no way i am going to sit around on a forum and wait for a reply, an hour and a half in here was more than enough. thanks for your time, guys. [21:32] it's a brand new Lenovo S10-3 [21:32] Fugue, did you place the regular desktop image on the flash drive or did you use a minimal/server image? [21:33] KM0201: I have two usb wifi attached now and they both show up when i try iwconfig [21:33] how do you pastein results [21:33] Fugue, also did you see any errors? [21:33] Hey I'm unable to remove a file on my system. Even when using sudo rm -f I get the error "rm: cannot remove 'file': Invalid argument" [21:33] I used the universal usb creator app to install the .iso on the USB key, as per the instructions on the website [21:33] artos: /dev/sdc will put grub in the MBR & replace the windows bootloader code which is what you want. [21:33] alaing: hang on [21:33] hbullen, try encapsulating the filenam in quotes [21:34] alaing: from what? you can pipe to wgetpaste in a terminal, or you can copy and paste from a notepad style window, or you can copy and paste from a terminal as well [21:34] !pastebin [21:34] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[21:36] dotblank, I've tried that it gives me the same error. Also I get the same error using (mv or cp) and when I do ls -l I get question marks in place all the columns for that file. [21:36] There seems to be a Win7 installation recognized on /dev/sda1, but there isnt one [21:36] robertzaccour, you can connect to FB using the jabber protocol or XMPP [21:36] lol thanks i know what a pipe is .....lots of things can run through pipe like water [21:36] hbullen: is it in a directory full of files? [21:36] I think that is left from an earlier installation... [21:37] alaing -- not the same as a physical pipe [21:37] hbullen, can you paste your complete command that you use? [21:37] wait was that referring to FB chat in the cli with jabber? [21:37] industry__: it can be when it double pipe || [21:37] genewitch yes it is a directory [21:37] hehehehe [21:37] dotblank: I do ls -l and get: "?????????? ? ? ? ? ? net" [21:38] hbullen, ? marks.. hmm have you tried mv'ing it to a normal filename using wildcards?

[21:44] alaing: well then use it? [21:44] ppq, I'd recommand to reinstall the package or make sure your repos are correct and have only trusted sources [21:44] hi!

I tried to delete all the files even the hidden ones and then i transfer some music stuff using banshee but then when i switch on my iPod it says: please, opne iTunes to sync your music. Please, help! [21:46] * SimplySeth thinks its ridiculous how well an MCE remote works in Ubuntu [21:46] artos: if you're not sure which disk is your boot disk, install grub to /dev/sdc & reboot. if grub didn't replace the windows bootloader then install to /dev/sdc. [21:47] dotblank: thats it? [21:47] How do I use fstab to make a disk "executeable" so I can run programs from it via wine? [21:47] artos: sorry, that should read, sdc first & then try sda [21:47] KM0201: no problems thanks for your time anyway. really appreciate it [21:47] Goddard: pretty good protection [21:47] dotblank: seriously have you tried hooking up evolution to an existing gmail account with like 30 folders [21:47] * alaing needs some sleep [21:47] Goddard, well I like evolution but thats just me.. you don't have to use evolution you can use anything you want [21:47] see you laters ppl [21:47] Goddard: *privacy [21:47] dotblank: i know that i am just trying to have a debate not an argument [21:48] dotblank: have you used thunderbird recently? [21:48] dotblank: it was so simple to setup took me like 30 seconds to setup all 4 of my email accounts [21:48] Goddard, No, but I belive the reason for evolution's use is because it intergrates with gnome easily [21:48] dotblank: i tried with evolution and it was so painful and one account still wont download all my mail [21:49] dotblank: i see [21:49] has anyone know how to manage iPod shuffle 3g in ubuntu 10.10? I tried to delete all the files even the hidden ones and then i transfer some music stuff using banshee but then when i switch on my iPod it says: please, opne iTunes to sync your music. Please, help! [21:49] I am trying to load 10.10 on an old Dell Inspiron 8000 (ATI M4 video). The screen comes up with vertical split sections. I see some legacy solutions, by editing the xorg.conf file, but my system doesn't seem to have one. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am a total newbie. Sorry in advance. [21:49] How to turn off auto vocabulary fill in openoffice word? [21:49] Goddard, well most users don't have a huge amount of folders.. but it seems to handle everything just fine for me [21:50] rmg5810: you'll probably have to use the alternate install CD to accomplish the install (at least I did).. then once installed, you can go from there trying to set the card up. [21:50] dotblank: hmm ya i have two gmail accounts one was semi new but the other was years old and it doesn't work and doesn't even error out they have the same settings [21:50] Goddard, also I think the mozilla license is a bit restrictive.. remember how there was a fuss with firefox asking for you to accept the eula [21:51] dotblank: the 10.10 release did come with ubuntu though correct? and its open source? [21:51] mozilla [21:51] Goddard, I think they found a way around it [21:52] Well I like my chromium :) [21:52] how can i know wich of the modules of the aplay -L its my line-in [21:52] dotblank: ya it is nice [21:52] which* [21:52] KMo201: thanks. [21:52] dotblank: still not as many plugins and features as mozilla though but it is faster [21:53] Goddard, all I want is speed... and chromium is a must on the netbook [21:53] namoroka vs minefield [21:53] dotblank: i do some web dev stuff so its nice ot have the extra stuff [21:53] my cd drive stopped working and i am starting to lose hair any ideas? [21:53] dotblank: chromium doesn't let you kill javascript which annoys me sometimes [21:53] Goddard, firebug is nice but the chromedev tools are also nice [21:54] dotblank: or the web dev toolbar [21:54] Ibn_Ali_al-Turki: namoroka is 3.6.x and minefield is nightly [21:54] Download the Muslim version of Ubuntu at http://www.sabily.org [21:54] Ibn_Ali_al-Turki, umm whats the difference?

[21:55] lot of stuff that you would need to download or want to download with ubuntu [21:55] is already included in distro [21:55] plus lots of programs [21:55] Islamic ones [21:55] included in distro [21:55] :) [21:55] dotblank: i havent tried the chromdev tools [21:55] Ibn_Ali_al-Turki: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === Infrid is now known as Infrid64 [21:55] does it come with a copy of the qur'an? [21:55] Ibn_Ali_al-Turki, but I don't get the incentive... [21:56] it has various quran programs [21:56] why not have all packages in the main repo? [21:56] Woups, I belived Ubuntu is agnostic or at least religion neutral :/ [21:56] including bible apps... [21:56] Ibn_Ali_al-Turki: don't advertise here please [21:56] there is also a christian version [21:56] KM0201, thats not reflective of the entire religion [21:57] and even a satanic version i saw [21:57] i know...

[22:03] Anyone have any idea what the problem could be with firefox saying Server not found Firefox can't find the server [22:03] ok [22:03] Infrid64, clear that sector of the disk or remove the DRM [22:03] but when i rebbot a get a grub rescue prmpt [22:04] thanks, how can i clear that sector? [22:04] Infrid64, hmm according to your output it was sector 33 on the mbr [22:04] you could install grub on a partition and use the partition boot flag [22:05] Hi, I've got an encrypted home directory. I want to back it up with rsync. Can I/should I ignore the /home/.ecryptfs directory, and just backup user directories, or is there a better way? [22:06] emorris: you can backup with rsync while it's open [22:06] I have an odd issue with 10.10 cd booting. [22:07] emorris: else if it's a partition (ecryptfs) can use dd to leave it crypted [22:07] EngrChris, do you have any more information...? [22:07] I checked the disk with md5 and a laptop, the cd works. [22:07] according to my partittion table, i can install grub on sda5 e flag it to boot? http://tinypaste.com/8b272 [22:08] But on some hardware the bios skips the cd to hard drive. [22:08] in this way i can avoid the flexnet thing? [22:08] Infrid64, possible.. [22:08] possibly.. I think you can... yes [22:08] It’s not a boot list problem. [22:08] the other way is to erase that sector and try to reinstall grub [22:08] mmm [22:08] Can anyone help me out with this firefox problem? [22:08] hi [22:08] everybody [22:09] DasEi, atm, rsync is running on the whole /home directory and running through masses of /home/.ecryptfs/username/.Private files. Could I just ignore these? [22:09] whats the problem murk00 [22:09] my first time here [22:09] EngrChris, so sometimes the cd doesn't boot on some hardware? [22:10] DasEi, I'll be backing up whilst logged in, and am not too bothered about the backup being encrypted [22:10] sometimes when I goto a website it says Server not found Firefox can't find the server [22:10] !ask | mu [22:10] mu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:10] It will also say that when I do a search on google sometimes [22:10] murk00, ^ [22:10] emorris: yes [22:10] hemmm [22:10] murk00, that usually means your Internet connect is not working. [22:10] murk00, are you on wireless? [22:10] Yes. On some hardware it doesn't work at all. [22:10] emorris: or backup into a truecrypt folder [22:10] nah its not that [22:10] EngrChris, you may need to change the boot order [22:11] its not the boot order [22:11] EngrChris, you sure? [22:11] yes [22:11] EngrChris, try using a windows disk instead [22:11] if that boots then let me know [22:12] Some bios' are restricted... [22:12] DasEi, cool, thanks [22:12] I have tried 10.10 netbook, but 10.10 desktop doesn’t work [22:12] also if the cdrom hardware is too slow and the bios doesn't wait for the cd [22:13] EngrChris, Still sounds like a bios issue [22:13] not an ubuntu issue..

[22:14] I used cdburnerxp [22:15] #ubuntu-br [22:15] for both netbook and desktop cds [22:15] EngrChris, When you place the ubuntu-desktop cd in does it show the version file? [22:15] EngrChris, or does it show the iso file on the cd? [22:15] !find libept.so.1 [22:15] File libept.so.1 found in libept1 [22:16] I burned the iso the correct way. [22:17] EngrChris, well it is either an issue with your bios.. the disc burning or a physical issue with the cd/cddrive [22:17] So it can't be isolinux? [22:18] If the netbook one works.. then no.. [22:18] they use basically the same thing [22:18] Past ubuntu desktop versions worked [22:19] !find libxapian.so.15 [22:19] File libxapian.so.15 found in libxapian15, libxapian15-dbg [22:19] EngrChris, did you manipulate the isolinux file or the iso at all? [22:19] nope [22:19] EngrChris: you can install netbook version. Install the meta-package "ubuntu-desktop" remove "ubuntu-netbook" [22:19] bye bye [22:19] thanks [22:20] thanks dotblank [22:20] EngrChris: did you do an md5 sum check on the desktop image btw?

I could download and compile it by source but i'd rather use package manager so i don't have to worry about updates [22:30] EngrChris: what fails when you try to use the desktop cd? [22:30] On another laptop, both the desktop and netbook cd's don't boot [22:30] secretary_linux, that is odd also your mask seems too long 0007 doesn't seem right.. try using 777 [22:31] and aireplay can do that as well you're right however airdrop is targeted specifically for this kind of attach [22:31] wolfric, no idea.. perhaps its a new program and the package version is outdated [22:31] dotblank: please don't recommend 777 [22:31] wolfric: http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=7716.0 [22:31] even when I select cd boot option [22:31] EngrChris: what does "don't boot" mean [22:31] guntbert, ok :) [22:31] oh okay [22:31] guntbert, but his existing one was 0007?

[22:33] shcherbak: or more formally point it out [22:33] np [22:33] EngrChris: Does it just skip the boot process for the disk altogether? [22:33] wolfric, you could try to find the package maintainer or submit a bug [22:34] wolfric: soon or later it will be included. have you checked versions? [22:34] yes they're the updated version as appear on the website [22:34] It reads the disk, but yes, it skips [22:34] 1.1 [22:34] EngrChris, have you tried burning a new disk perhaps that one is damaged? [22:34] anyone familiar with ext3grep? [22:35] The disk is fine.

Meh. :)Y You're right. Too much scrolling. [22:56] crimsun: it does not show front, bass treble or anything else [22:56] canthus13: np [22:56] Maahes: I will. I have to get Lubuntu back on my HDD first lol. I really like Fedora but I have to use Ubuntu for what I do [22:56] Slartibart: Try reburning the ISO at the slowest speed. if that doesn't work, try the alternate install CD. [22:57] RyanTBDM: be aware, for any good maclike doc to run, you must be using compositing [22:57] Maahes: Please elaborate. What is compositing? [22:57] Ja23: please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules [22:58] /msg NickServ identify maritefranknanyaro [22:59] lol [22:59] wamicho: err you might wanna change that pw [23:00] /msg NickServ identify maritefranknanyaro [23:00] wamicho: We all saw your pass. You should change it. And don't put a space before /msg [23:00] A sign of progress. This laptop is booting from the desktop cd. Took several tires. [23:01] Slartibart: do you know roughly the specs on the easynote? I can't find any online [23:01] Welcom [23:01] So is there any kind of a script that drowns out the messages of people leaving gumming up my chat pane? [23:01] aeon-ltd just changed it [23:01] *tries [23:01] RyanTBDM: Compiz or xcompmgr [23:01] I'm trying to boot 10.10 inside KVM on my gentoo box. Other live DVDs work fine, but Ubuntu isn't giving me a functional mouse. [23:02] Keyboard is fine, just the mouse is broken. Any pointers? [23:02] hmm [23:02] usb or ps2 mouse [23:03] syntaxman: er get into the linux console of the VM'd distro and take a look at syslog [23:03] I'm on a ThinkPad W500. Both the touchpad and the "eraser" are useless. [23:03] sounds like the usb isn't working [23:03] syntaxman: have you tried a normal mouse? [23:04] not touchpad or whatever the "eraser" is [23:04] Maahes: Nope, not yet. I'll go scrounge one up. [23:05] With some docks (like Docky), whenI add launchers, some of them disappear after reboot, like the dock couldn't remember the settings. [23:05] *when I [23:05] syntaxman: that's the very first thing you should check, because if a normal mouse works, but your touchpad doesn't, there's a problem with synaptics [23:05] My openoffice crashes very often [23:05] Galvatron: what ones other than docky? === coaboa is now known as coaboa||away [23:06] AWN, as I remember [23:06] Maahes: The "eraser" is the trackpoint mouse, BTW. It usually works as a "normal" mouse, w/o special attention. [23:06] I'll add a USB mouse, though, and see if anything changes. [23:06] The same goes for DockbarX and Talika, as I pin down apps [23:06] do usb mice work in bios? [23:07] Galvatron: I'd suggest looking at the config files in your home directory [23:07] Today AWN lost all the launchers after reboot [23:07] but it might be a gconf problem too [23:07] tomlikestorock_: no wonder I couldn't find it, there is a python 3.0 that is in release in 10.04 [23:07] magicianlord: depends on your bios [23:07] yeah, but no 2.7 :( [23:07] Maahes: Sorry for late answer. 1Gb RAM, AMD sempron 3000+ 1.8GHz, integrated graphics via/s3g unichrome pro. [23:07] Maahes: Which files exactly? [23:07] tomlikestorock_: opps and that python 3.1 [23:08] Slartibart: those unichrome never seem to work right. [23:08] Slartibart: there's no reason your install should be taking so long, your hung up. Try running and doing the install in safe mode, and if that gets hung, use the alternate-install cd === James is now known as Guest19844 [23:08] tomlikestorock_: doesn't 3.1 work in place of 2.7? [23:08] KM0201: Really :(? No way past it? [23:08] sacarlson: I don't want to go through the 2 to 3 changes yet [23:09] Slartibart: there's a lot of complaints in this channel regarding that chipset if you stay here overtime. [23:09] tomlikestorock_: try it in virtualbox if it works install it in your main system [23:09] Maahes: Thanks, I tested the cd and it seems it was bad. So I'll make another one now. No error messages whatsoever about it though :-/ [23:09] Galvatron: I don't know particularly, I don't have it installed. Look in ~/.config/docky or ~.docky [23:09] Slartibart: as for whether there are fixes for it or not, i really don't know, but i don't see a whole lot good about it. [23:09] How can I install windows drivers on linux? [23:10] Slartibart: yeah, it can't necessarily report errors if it gets hung [23:10] insano, typically - you can't [23:10] KM0201: Ok, I guess I got the point :-/. Thanks. [23:10] Maahes: There's no config folder for Docky [23:10] insano: for the most part, other than with ndiswrapper, for wireless, you can't. [23:11] Maahes, ndiswrapper would work for a scanner driver? [23:12] insano, ndiswrapper is for wireless [23:12] if you buy a cannon scanner all in one for $30, it will work in ubuntu [23:12] Galv from the command line: find -name 'docky' [23:12] insano: no [23:12] insano: you should check to see if cups has a driver [23:13] Hey, how do I get in to the remote desktop menu? [23:13] Maahes, it is a good idea [23:14] magicianlord: wow all in one so it's a printer too? what resolution would that be in scan and print if you don't mind? [23:14] how do u make the font bigger in xchat? [23:14] sacarlson: it's standard for a regular scanner, like 300 dpi but can go up to 1200, i think [23:14] ao, settings / preferences - it should be on the fist screen [23:15] there is also a smaller nicer hp all in one for about $30 at target, but i dont have that one to try to see if it works easily with simplescan, the way the cannon one does [23:15] thanks [23:15] Maahes, I google it, but it didnt return any compatibility with cups [23:15] hello [23:15] magicianlord: i use hp all in one and it is easy [23:15] Crimsun: this is Ja23 from earlier [23:15] insano, FYI cups is typically a printer subsystem, not a scanning one [23:15] after https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed , why does aptitude install libc6/maverick-proposed say Unable to find an archive "maverick-proposed" for the package "libc6" ? [23:15] Crimsun: I installed everything and restarted, the low audio remains the same [23:16] Guest19844: now, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo === Guest19844 is now known as Ja23 [23:16] ZykoticK9, does it mean that I wont get a solution for my problem?

[23:21] how do i get into nautilus? [23:21] doesn't ls show hidden files? [23:21] Can anyone explain how to use the open source ATI driver? I have a 5xxx series card.

[23:22] FlozuzMozuz: and most of all: nc nmap [23:22] Anyone know how to get xrandr to align the bottoms of my screen? My mouse is dropping below the task bar because one screen is bigger than the other. [23:22] aldermikov: i got sick of dealing w/ ATI, and bought Nvidia.. works perfect.. :) [23:22] Diskopanda: everything you see in Places is nautulis [23:22] KM0201: um my mom and dad argued about what movie to see and now we aren't going [23:22] "Installer.exe" [23:22] pops: lol, zing [23:22] so how do I actually see more in my cd than "Installer.exe" sacarlson? [23:22] KM0201: I'm the other way around, I just don't want to use the proprietary drivers [23:22] shcherbak you are a champ, thx [23:22] ill look into those [23:23] aldermikov: i don't mind proprietary drivers, so long as they work properly, and that is the case w/ the Nvidia driver... so it doesn't bother me [23:23] Diskopanda, are you sure Installer.exe isn't the only thing on the cd? what is it's size? I doubt CDs support hidden files (but maybe). [23:23] Diskopanda: as you normaly do, when you install a cd nautilus auto opens, go to view>hiden [23:23] pops: so you wanna try this or not? [23:24] you can also hit ctrl h to show hidden files in the nautilus gui [23:24] ZykoticK9: no, CD's do not. [23:24] KM0201: yeah, Revenge of the Titans crashes with the proprietary driver though ;~; [23:24] Maahes, i wouldn't think so - thanks for confirming [23:24] CTRL + H doesen't work, VIEW>hidden doesen't work [23:24] the Installer.exe file is 12 mb [23:24] aldermikov: duno.. [23:24] I've managed to install it before [23:24] i had to do seomthing with fstab... can't remember anymore :/ [23:24] yeah [23:24] Diskopanda: well then there are no hiden files [23:24] KM0201: yes [23:24] also is computer janitor legit or no [23:25] !find libxapian.so.15 [23:25] File libxapian.so.15 found in libxapian15, libxapian15-dbg [23:25] pops: well send me a PM, i don't wanna wait much longer, cuz at the rate you do things we'll be up til 5am === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [23:25] computer janitor is always taking naps. [23:25] aldermikov: its legit, but it doesn't quite work very well imo [23:25] it's saying I should remove linux-headers-2.6.35-22 [23:26] It seems that when i try to double click the Installer.exe, my computer opens "Opening Installer.exe", but doesen't proceed with the install... [23:26] aldermikov: do you compile any software or are you using a newer kernel? [23:27] Maahes: I just use the default updater options, so I don't know [23:27] aldermikov: then I don't know how you got the headers installed in the first place [23:28] what do the files do? [23:28] aldermikov: its used for compiling software [23:28] from source [23:28] ah === Guest5307 is now known as Sir_Konrad [23:28] thank you [23:28] np [23:29] can someone point me to a link for a compressed file that includes all debs, including dependencies, necessary to install vlc on 10.10, for either 64bit or 32bit please,, or make this file?

[23:30] Ja23: err, no, please don't do that. Use pastebin.

[23:33] Note to everyone... DO NOT INSTALL JAVA jdk/jre/tomcat/etc on the 32bit ubuntu AMI for t1.micro on AWS. [23:33] you will crash your guest OS.

[23:35] Genewitch: when I try to install anything via WINE it just says "Opening x.exe" and then NEVER starts the program! [23:35] Ja23: this will take a bit; I'm reading the source code to find a fix. [23:35] I've got Ubuntu 10.10 and Wine.. hmm how do i check version? [23:35] Wow, thank you very much =D [23:35] Diskopanda: wine --version [23:36] Diskopanda: see: [23:36] wine 1.2.2 [23:36] !winehq [23:36] 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 [23:36] !winehq [23:36] Diskopanda: get the wine repo, install wine from it and visit winehq for additional wow-status [23:36] crimsun: one strange thing I noticed, it says I have 10.10 Ubuntu, but when I go to About Ubuntu it says I have 11.04 [23:36] just fyi [23:37] !appDB > Diskopanda [23:37] Diskopanda, please see my private message [23:37] <[lan3y]> i keep getting this when i try and emerge kde-meta http://pastebin.com/8zvVKzBN how do i fix this?

[23:38] ikonia: you were in here earlier, it's a memory allocation issue that has literally nothing to do with java, just the java installer happens to hit this allocation bug. [23:38] [lan3y]: isn't emerge for gentoo? #gentoo [23:38] DasEi: Im not sure its WoW, I think it's WINE itself... It doesen't succeed to start programs, although it tries... [23:38] ikonia: java jre/jdk/tomcat is known to cause the kernel to panic on the guest OS because the host throws an error. [23:38] genewitch: I told you it was a problem with the Amazon platform [23:39] hello. how do I permanently turn off home folder encryption in ubuntu ? [23:39] ikonia: that STILL doesn't help me get rid of the apt-get problem. [23:39] pietr: why? [23:39] Diskopanda: that might be on certain ones, if you use the one coming from the ubuntu repos [23:39] Diskopanda: checkaut the app db for info [23:39] genewitch: did you do a clean install ? [23:39] out* [23:39] aeon-ltd: i want to use public key authentication [23:39] I did insatll the one coming from the appdb repo :) [23:39] Ja23: please see private query [23:39] ikonia: even if they patched a fix in to the kernel it won't help me. no i didn't do a fresh install, i'll revert to an older snapshot if i have to install anything else. [23:40] by adding wine to my repositories and then "sudo apt-get install wine" [23:40] right? [23:40] Diskopanda: wine is in the ubuntu repositories. [23:40] genewitch: log the bug with Amazon [23:40] Diskopanda: unless you're trying to get a non-stable version [23:40] ikonia: did, thanks. :-D [23:40] that's the best version i presume? [23:40] genewitch: did you log it with amazon, or launchpad? [23:40] Diskopanda: it's the most likely to work. [23:40] ikonia: both. [23:41] ok [23:41] Hey there. Culd ndiswrapper be having issues with the new kernel? [23:41] join #transmission [23:42] does the new linux kernel work with mac hardware? [23:42] SpaceManiac: ndiswrapper is the definition of issues. what happened to yours? [23:42] :P [23:42] can someone help me my laptop is possessed [23:42] magicianlord: the old linux kernel works with mac hardware. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac [23:42] !details | amanda__ [23:42] I'm not sure. Wireless networking stopped working after I fiddled with X config [23:42] amanda__: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:42] magicianlord: and the new one, i mean. they all do. [23:42] magicianlord: macs are supported and have been for a long time [23:43] rofl amanda___ [23:43] How do I count how many lines there is in all files in a directory? [23:43] ikonia: blueberry iMac 233mhz g3 reporting in on linux-2.6.34-r12! [23:43] linusoleander: wc -l /path/to/dir [23:43] linusoleander: i beleive. [23:43] the PPC port is dead [23:43] Hello, is it possible to permanently decrypt (turn off encryption of) home folder under ubuntu? [23:44] linusoleander: cat * | wc -n (check wc not sure) [23:44] I am running ubuntu 10.10 i386 on a sony vaio 3 ghz 500gig HD with 248DDRAM [23:44] ikonia: well, i wouldn't know, i just compile everything myself. [23:44] Genewitch: thanks alot, I'll try the stable version ... :) [23:44] ok here is the situation and i serious its not ubuntu its nothing softwareable [23:44] Diskopanda: are you trying to run a game or just regular software? [23:44] game [23:44] my laptop reset, all by itself [23:44] Diskopanda: which one? [23:44] I installed the new kernel this morning, rebooted, things were fine. I created a /etc/X11/xorg.conf and added some stuff in an attempt to fix resolution issues, but reverted when it prevented X from booting. After the revert, Ubuntu isn't able to connect to the wireless network [23:45] World of Warcraft [23:45] Diskopanda: oh, it works fine in wine. [23:45] then when it came back on 5 minutes later it reset again then 4 inutes then 3 inutes then 2 then 1 [23:45] Diskopanda: start it with wow.exe --opengl [23:45] Diskopanda: to verify [23:45] amanda__: soo? script. [23:45] then it just kept rebooting itself as if on a loop [23:45] I have al lthe information to make the game work without lag [23:45] SpaceManiac: if X isn't loading, the desktop isn't loading, and the network manager app isn't being loaded, so no network for you [23:45] Diskopanda: if you want to use directx you have to add in directx files and override the dlls with winecfg. google it, there's a billion pages on how to get it to run pretty in wine. [23:46] but I dont have the information enough to make this ****ing game autostart when i put my cd in the computer to install :( [23:46] ikonia: I deleted the new xorg.conf; X loads fine, as does everything except wireless networking [23:46] ikonia: ethernet still works, but I need wireless for most purposes [23:46] Diskopanda: if you need to * out a word, don't type it [23:46] before even the grub loader can come up it just kept rebooting itself and when i went to go turn the power off the battery light came on and when i unplugged battery charging wire the CD light would blink [23:46] I'm writing some large amount of data into a sqlite database in journal=osynchronous=off mode[B to ext4 on dmcrypt [23:46] after a while, %wa starts to reach > 75% (on a i7) for a while and all attempts to read from disk hang [23:46] does that ring a bell for anyone? [23:46] I had to take the batery pack out just to get it to shut off and stop rebooting itself [23:46] Diskopanda: ouch, i never had that issue, i used a pre-existing directory. Have you logged into battle.net and tried running the WOW installer from there in wine? [23:46] SpaceManiac: look at the wirless networking setup in the network manager app [23:46] amanda__: you trollin'? [23:46] any ideas or is my laptop haunted????? [23:47] ikonia: all's good in the settings for the network [23:47] nbjoerg: vaguely. which kernel are you using? [23:47] linusoleander: cat * | wc -l [23:47] No these drugs dont cause halucinations [23:47] SpaceManiac: what happenes when you hit "connect to wirless network" [23:47] Hmm, im not looking for the 4.0.3 version of wow [23:47] im more of a "3.3.5" if you get my point [23:47] ikonia: the indicator starts spinning and after a while it says it failed to connect [23:47] how do you link my name btw? [23:47] crimsun: 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu [23:47] amanda__: could be a myriad of things. The battery terminal could be dirty, the power switch could be shorted, the voltage regulator could be shot... take it to someone that can work on laptops (if you can't) and have them troubleshooot it. [23:47] amanda__: if it's before grub, it's not an ubuntu issue, so not supported here, [23:47] Diskopanda: start typing then hit tab [23:48] genewitch: awesome! [23:48] Diskopanda: just like the command line. [23:48] amanda__: ok, logical solution - you only precieved it as prgressive the shutdown times, in reality a small problem caused it to shutdown - then some pc bioses are set to restart after power failures - so imagine that in a loop [23:48] genewitch: so do you think it would help if i reinstall ubuntu? [23:48] guys, we don't support hardware / bios issus here [23:48] i know its not a ubuntu issue ikonia and i only ask here because i trust the people here because they gave e the hookup [23:48] amanda__: /var/log/ is source of enormous knowledge is such cases [23:49] Diskopanda: to get wow running? no. if anything, apt-get remove wine and then delete /home/yourusername/.wine [23:49] amanda__: please don't ask here then, as it's nothing to do with ubuntu [23:49] I have a Thinkpad T400 , sometimes hibernate works, sometimes not. what can i do? [23:49] nbjoerg: how comfortable are you testing mainline kernels? [23:49] Diskopanda: then apt-get install wine again. that will make it clean. [23:49] hello. Is it possible to permanently decrypt home directory? [23:49] i had an ssh key for a host on my desktop, then i reformatted the os on the host, now it says invalid host key when i try to log into the host. what can i do? [23:49] crimsun: I wouldn't mind if there is a real chance of it fixes my problem :) [23:49] StateFarm: hibernate is not really supported fully yet. not even by windows. [23:50] genewitch: the .wine folder is locked. [23:50] xim_: put the key back [23:50] hello there folks [23:50] StateFarm: check logs in both, networking may be trouble [23:50] nbjoerg: chicken-n'-egg, then ;) [http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ if you're interested] [23:50] Diskopanda: gksudo it. [23:50] genewitch: shcherbak : i mean 'sleep' sorry [23:50] the proble did begin however, when trying to play frontierville in facebook [23:50] ikonia: wait, I don't know what I did, but I just fixed it. Thanks anyways. [23:50] sleep appears to work great in mac and windows, i am jealous [23:50] it was as if every tie i tried to load that flash game it would reboot [23:50] SpaceManiac: well done [23:50] StateFarm: it's a kernel issue... there's not much the ubuntu folks can do about it short of trying to patch it on a per machine basis. [23:51] genewitch: how do i gksudo it to remove the file? [23:51] amanda__: well, it's not an ubuntu issue now [23:51] xim_: issue new key (need password to copy it) [23:51] ikonia, i dont have the key, it added it as an unrecognized one, now i guess theres an old one that doesnt match so its giving an error, how can i delete the old key so that it will make a new one? [23:51] shcherbak, [23:51] Diskopanda: gksudo rm -f /home/yourname/.wine i think [23:51] so, i'm running ubuntu 8, and my mouse won't work.. any ideas? [23:51] thats some weird stuff huh [23:51] amanda__: theres your bug [23:51] ikonia: I reinstalled the driver via ndisgtk, I didn't think it had worked since ndisgtk crashed, but on reboot it's back running [23:51] functionoverform: unplug and plug? [23:51] lol [23:51] i've tried that [23:51] xim_: if it's a host key, delete it from ~/.ssh/known_hosts if it's the user key, you'll need to create a new one/use the old one [23:51] and 2 different mice [23:51] one p/s2 and one usb [23:52] the wierd thing is it worked with a live cd [23:52] amanda__: it sounds like your cpu overheated (or ram) - have you tried blowing the dust out? [23:52] but not after it was installed [23:52] !enter | functionoverform [23:52] functionoverform: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:52] genewitch: please stop, we dont support hardware in here [23:52] !commands [23:52] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:52] they is there a way to install KDE in ubuntu without adding all the extra kde based packages? [23:52] well.. its probably an xorg.conf situation [23:53] BarbaraBush: kde requires the base packages [23:53] ikonia, this key file is full of stuff, can i just delete it (i can just remake keys for my few ssh hosts) [23:53] magicianlord: see if this works to install apps offline http://beans.seartipy.com/2006/05/06/update-or-install-applications-on-debianubuntu-without-an-internet-connection/ [23:53] !help [23:53] 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. :-) [23:53] ikonia: well it doesnt require like kde games and calculators etc [23:53] xim_: host keys get created when you first connect [23:54] genewitch: "gksudo rm -f" is invalid [23:54] genewitch: what on earth is -f? [23:54] Diskopanda: sudo [23:54] ikonia, i understand that, can i just delete this host key file and re-first-connect to the few hosts that i have? is that safe? [23:54] -f is short for force [23:54] ikonia: i want both gnome and kde.. but i dont want the bloat that comes with KDE in my Gnome menu [23:54] xim_: no issue with it [23:54] BarbaraBush: remove the packages you don't want [23:54] rm: cannot remove `/home/jew/.wine': Is a directory [23:54] ikonia, ok thank you very much [23:55] ikonia: there is not a way not to install them? [23:55] no --command ? [23:55] Diskopanda: rm -r [23:55] alright.. does anyone know if there's some sort of issue with mouse recognition in ubuntu 8.x, i've looked at my xorg.conf, and the correct mouse information is commented out. the mouse itself works properly, as it worked fine on the livedvd that i installed from. thanks for any help. [23:55] BarbaraBush: manually install the packages you want [23:55] this is interesting. my flash drive stopped being recognized. thank you, PNY >_< [23:55] Diskopanda: rm -Rf .wine/ [23:55] is what you want. [23:55] ikonia: ah so i have to get the sources from KDE and not the ubuntu repo's ? [23:55] functionoverform: 8.x ? what version exactly [23:56] hey guys i asked how to i minimize the terminal server client i dont want to disconnect every time i just want to minimize it and some one here said alt F9 it didnt work i tryed shift F9 and so on can some ones please help me thank you [23:56] Thanks genious genewitch! :) [23:56] BarbaraBush: errr no, just install the packages you want from the ubuntu repos [23:56] i want KDE, not the full Kubuntu install [23:56] rana: minimize which terminal server client? graphical or command line? [23:56] BarbaraBush: so install the KDE packages you want from the ubuntu repos [23:56] Hello, I'm having some trouble setting public key authentication under ubuntu. Can someone please consult with me? [23:57] graphical [23:57] rana: what is termial server client? use screen/tmux and detach/reatach [23:57] ikonia: the only KDE window manager i see is the one full if kubuntu bloat [23:57] rana: on my tsc i just mouse over the middle of the top of the screen and it brings up a menu pane that has a minimize button. [23:57] of* [23:57] ikonia:8.10 [23:57] BarbaraBush: then you are not looking, there are hundreds of individual packages that make up the kubuntu desktop meta-package [23:57] let me try that [23:57] functionoverform: 8.10 is not supported anymore, its EOL [23:58] BarbaraBush: KDE4-core is ~180MB of source and takes up a lot of space. nevermind the meta packages or games, screensavers, etc. [23:58] ikonia: its not like Kcalc etc will install KDE [23:58] KDE4-base rather. [23:58] genewitch: thanks [23:58] umm not geting it [23:58] BarbaraBush: what are you talking about, just install the KDE packages you want from the ubuntu repoes [23:58] i have some bash scripts in a git repo. install instructions now are clone the repo, add to $PATH. they are updated often and git pull makes that easy...but i'd like to instead make it a .deb, to have similarly easy updating i would have to have my own repository right? what's involved with that? [23:59] ikonia: there are none [23:59] rana: ctrl-alt-enter [23:59] only the kubuntu package [23:59] BarbaraBush: there are hundreds [23:59] none at all [23:59] Restarted computer [23:59] BarbaraBush: then you are not earching the repo [23:59] ikonia: name me one [23:59] i am [23:59] I uninstalled WINE but it's still there in "Applications" [23:59] Any ideas? [23:59] ikonia: any general idea on how to fix a mouse that's not being recognized on any linux version.. mouse recognition isn't at all distro or version specific.. its moderately irrelevant whether or not its still supported.. or at least it shouldn't be [23:59] !info kubuntu-base [23:59] Package kubuntu-base does not exist in maverick [23:59] I'm not on an ubuntu box so can't search the repos [23:59] BarbaraBush: kde4-base, kde4-meta, kde4-games
