[00:00] jessica, i just can't set it right. [00:00] guys...how to create symlink to gcc-4.2? [00:00] which said none [00:00] whorush do you have "same image in all monitors" checked? [00:01] @ whorush: have you tried setting "twinview" [00:01] anyone? [00:03] when I go to open a folder from the gnome panel, mplayer is opened and que's all the files in that folder. where is the setting to change this behavior? gconf?? [00:03] is it worht upgrading to 64bit 10.10 from 31bit 10.04? [00:03] xeer: so the default applicationm for a 'folder' is now mplayer you mean to say? [00:03] Dr_Willis: yes, it's quite annoying. [00:03] jessica, i'll try twinview, i might need to restart [00:04] xeer: i know its setaable via the 'ubuntu-tweak' tools features. but not sure of any othe rway. theres a 'open folder' item you can set to be the default. but i dont think you can riht clcik on a folder and change it that way [00:04] chaospsychex, i can't find that setting [00:04] @ whorush.... try "twinview" and apply. [00:05] jessica, "auto" for resolution and "absoulute" for position/ [00:05] jessica, i also checked "make this the primary display" === colin_ is now known as theleft [00:05] @ whorush: that all sounds good... it's best if you set the resolution to the resoultion of your television. [00:06] jessica, i think that works, now one thing, it's 720p so that's 1280x720, but it's not listed [00:06] does anyone know the rss address for ubuntu forums? [00:07] What command would i use to get a list of my HDDs and their location (hdx,x) ? [00:07] Jordan_U: You still there? The .iso didn't work... what would I need to do to use a USB? [00:07] jessica, so it looks kinda weird, like aliased or something [00:07] Hi. I have a problem with the proprietary ATI driver. When I activated it, my splash screen started to look very ugly and big. Is there any way I can get it back to normal? [00:07] should i upgrade from 32 bit 10.04 to 64 bit or not [00:08] couple o restarts.. and still nothing [00:08] cat /etc/fstab Big_Brother or df -h [00:08] @ whorush... so it's not a standard resolution? [00:08] Russia: What happened when you tried to boot from it? [00:08] snakkah, maybe turn it off? [00:08] whorush, turn off the driver? [00:09] jessica, not sure what "standard" means, but 1280 x 720 is not in my ilst [00:09] Jordan_U: It gave me an error message, I think it was something along the lines of "Directory not found" [00:09] sankkah, just the splash ? [00:09] Jordan_U: Not entirely sure, I could go reboot and get a screenie if you want [00:09] @ whorush: okay.. I guess what I would do is to just find the closest resolution that looks decent. [00:09] whorush, is there a way to turn the splash screen off? [00:09] hi, having a bit of trouble with getting my USB headset to work with skype. ive read all the general guides on setup... and it works fine, but i cant specify which sound device to use in skype. its all just pulseaudio. [00:10] @ whorush: but you've got a signal now? [00:10] snakkah, sorry i don't know, i probably shouldnt have said anything ;-) [00:10] jessica, yeah, i'm using 1360x720 and it looks real strange. any way to add a resolution? [00:11] Hi, I keep getting these errors with kubuntu: http://pastebin.com/DjjsrZVb and during those the system will temporarily freeze. Is there soemthing I can do to fix this? I ran fsck a couple of times already but it doesnt seem to be helping [00:11] @ whorush: I am not sure. Let me see what I can find out. [00:11] jessica, thanks, i'm looking too, i think i mght have to edit one of those files, think i've done it b4 [00:12] hi [00:12] i have a problem with networking [00:12] Russia: That would help, but it's not a good sign unless your wubi install is fairly old (originally installed with a version of Ubuntu previous to 9.10). [00:12] i had a ppoe connection [00:12] but now i switched to router [00:12] Jordan_U: Ok, I'll go get a picture now... do you have an email I can send it to, since I'll be taking the picture from my ipod? [00:13] and my computer doesn't seem to be connected to the internet [00:13] i can't even find it on the router's log [00:13] i have tried that cable whit my other computer [00:13] wich has windows [00:13] and it works [00:14] is 10.10 stable or stick with 10.04? [00:16] 10.10 [00:16] Holaaa soy un Bot de IRC =P [00:16] Holaaa soy un Bot de IRC =P [00:16] Holaaa soy un Bot de IRC =P [00:16] Holaaa soy un Bot de IRC =P [00:16] Holaaa soy un Bot de IRC =P [00:16] SeC: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:16] magicianlord: I believe that 10.10 is stable [00:17] Russia: should i go from 10.04 32 bit to 10.04 64 bit or 10.10 64 bit [00:18] magicianlord, only YOU can really answer that question. What are you looking for? Does your system have more then 4GB RAM? [00:18] anyoone help with gcc? [00:18] ZykoticK9: i think 64 bit is faster and more responsive. i have a dual core cpu with 2 gb [00:19] ZykoticK9: but i am not sure about drivers, like printers [00:19] magicianlord, with 2GB RAM I'd recommend 32bit. [00:19] ZykoticK9: running 1 partition, no swap file [00:19] magicianlord, it's probably easier if you leave the swap (but it's up to you) [00:20] ZykoticK9: it's faster without the swap and i dont need hibernate. however, should i reinstall and repartition? [00:21] magicianlord, i can't answer that??? [00:21] magicianlord, i just spent 3 months running 64bit 10.04. I found it to buggy for me. I went back to 32bit and it is much more stable for me. I have 8Gb RAM but PAE works fine for me. Your mileage may vary. [00:21] why not [00:22] Doinkle: thanks [00:22] magicianlord, "should i reinstall and repartition" - why are you reinstalling? [00:22] Doinkle: should i stick with 1 partition, or reinstall with separate boot /home and / partitions? [00:22] ZykoticK9: for speed and stability [00:23] magicianlord: Stick with one partition unless you're having problems. [00:23] magicianlord, i use 64bit BTW and am quite happy with it, BUT i have twice the RAM you do, and don't mind the extra configuration steps required for 64bit. [00:23] Jordan_U: ok. do you ever have problems iwth 1 partition and no swap? [00:24] * h4f wonder [00:24] hi guys anyone know whats happening with kubuntu ? [00:24] i though there is couple of version of ubuntu with kde [00:24] i cant find it in the website anymore [00:25] skraito, http://www.kubuntu.org/ [00:25] magicianlord: I take that back, having a swap partition (or swap file) is a good idea. You don't need to re-install to make either though. [00:25] should i switch to 64-bit 10.10 then? [00:25] what about pressing on GET UBUNTU and then on DOWNLOAD KUBUNTU [00:26] Jordan_U: how do i make a partition on the existing drive when 100% is taken up by sda1 [00:26] Hi, I keep getting these errors with kubuntu: http://pastebin.com/DjjsrZVb and during those the system will temporarily freeze. Is there soemthing I can do to fix this? I ran fsck a couple of times already but it doesnt seem to be helping [00:26] zykotick [00:26] why ubuntu.com didnt include kubuntu anymore [00:26] instead the generalized it to ubuntu desktop [00:26] because kde is poo [00:26] any idea why it is not included ? [00:26] r007: stop talking poo [00:26] skraito, ? i have no idea - i don't use Kubuntu [00:27] is 64 bit faster ? [00:27] r007: yes [00:27] skraito: Ubuntu.com hasn't had links to download kubuntu for as long as I can remember. [00:27] magicianlord, 64bit is faster for a few things - for most it is equal or slower [00:27] ic thx for the info guys [00:27] ok man [00:27] is kubuntu updated with up to date package ? [00:28] or the project is dead ? [00:28] magicianlord, I've been told that it's better for media-type stuff. Video editing, 3d modeling and such. [00:28] "project dead" [00:28] skraito, no more up-to-date then ubuntu - they use the same repository [00:28] skraito, kubuntu isn't dead. [00:28] dude KDE is much more alive then gnome every was [00:28] ever* [00:28] magicianlord, as a matter of fact, my brother commented a few days ago about how much faster Blender is running on a 64-bit OS. [00:28] mac9416: ok man. so i should install 10.10 64 bit? [00:28] why not install ubuntu and then kde [00:28] hi, i try to play midi files with firefox an mozplugger/timidity, but it doesnt work. any ideas? :) [00:29] r007, +1 [00:29] ok [00:29] magicianlord, I'd say go for it. I use Studio Edition 64-bit and have had no trouble. [00:29] mac9416: it depends on the application, apps which do a lot of calculation, like blender, do run faster [00:29] thanks man [00:29] exit [00:30] txdv, right. Things like Banshee don't strike me as being any faster at all. [00:30] my question anyone? [00:30] can you help me? [00:30] playing music doesnt eat up much more cpu [00:30] dunno, is banshee slow [00:30] istvan007, what's the question? [00:30] ? [00:31] ubuntu 10.10 doesn't detects my direct connection [00:31] !helpme | istvan007 [00:31] istvan007: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

I have an external usb sound card from TRUST. When I connect it, the system sees it as an input device. How can I configure it? [00:33] istvan007, what happens if you pull up System->Preferences->Network Connections [00:35] it says link up [00:36] istvan did you see what I posted it says could not post to channel? [00:36] yes [00:36] ok cool [00:36] istvan007, is there a red X on the network icon on the menu bar? [00:36] there are no items listed in the wired tab [00:37] ?

[00:41] istvan007, type: sudo ifdown [00:41] but it doesn't list any ip addresses [00:41] hes saying he cant copy and paste as the box hes on is not connected... [00:41] only ipv6 address [00:43] istvan007 can you ping loopback? [00:43] yes [00:43] istvan007 what does lspci | grp Ethernet sho? [00:44] lspci | grep Ethernet [00:45] where can I find a description of the 10.10 boot process? looking for scripts to disable. even renaming /etc/rc*.d, X still starts [00:45] shrapnel: look into upstart [00:45] shrapnel interactive boot? [00:45] shrapnel, if you want to disable Xorg from starting see my notes at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/boot-to-console---disable-graphical-login-gdm [00:46] hi! I have an external usb sound card from TRUST. When I connect it, the system sees it only as an input device. How can I configure it? [00:46] Hey I'm running a script - But It works too fast from my point, is there a way to see whats happening on the remote pc? [00:46] yeah, X is locking at login, and so is single-user. trying to narrow it down. [00:46] hello folks. i'm running a mainline kernel on ubuntu 9.10. When I try to compile kernel modules, the installers usually cannot find the kernel headers though i have them installed. I think its because of the unusual naming of the mainline kernel. Anybody with experience compiling kernel modules using the mainline kernel can you pitch in? Right now I have an issue with compiling vmware workstation modules. [00:46] it shows two adapters [00:46] one of them is unfunctionable [00:46] Frenk run strace on the script on the pc it runs on [00:47] so there's no settings for that [00:47] but it's onboard [00:47] so i cannot take it out [00:47] istvan007, you "might" be able to disable the onboard NIC in BIOS [00:48] Frenk: what script? in ssh? in terminal? Shift-PgUp? [00:48] maybe that would help [00:48] 4th hour trying to create a bootable ubuntu usb drive via a macbook... [00:48] i'll try it [00:49] Musashi0011_: with unetbootin? [00:49] Musashi0011_: can you get a live cd to boot? [00:49] Musashi0011_: if so. you could set up grub2 on theusb. and have it boot the iso file. [00:49] I can't use unetbootin on os X. [00:49] r007, shcherbak I run it remotly (OpenVAS). OpenVAS is logging in as an user and should check for Ubuntu Local Security Check - and is ready after 1 minute. Thats what makes me curious [00:49] that pendrivelinux web site may have alternatives to unetbootin. [00:49] hi [00:49] Musashi0011_, are you sure it's possible to boot a MacBook from USB? I seem to remember someone mentioning it's not possible. [00:49] Dr_Willis: I thought I might need lilo or grub [00:50] Musashi0011_: grub2 Can boot an iso file. Normally syslinux is used to boot a system on a usb vfat filesystem. [00:50] ZykoticK9 I'm not trying to boot my mac but my PC (laptop). [00:50] have problems setting monitor to correct resolution [00:50] nvida sux [00:50] nvidia sux [00:50] feuergeist: i have very few issues with nvidia. [00:50] feuergeist, LOL - if you think Nvidia sux, try ATI LOL [00:50] what video card should we buy? [00:50] feuergeist: you want to stick to the issue. and not rant about things suxing, you may get more help. [00:51] feuergeist: for starteres what chipset exactly are you using, how is the monitor connected. [00:51] Dr_Willis: Thanks I am GTFM now... [00:51] feuergeist, what's the problem exactly? [00:51] cannot disable it [00:52] i haven't found any settings that can be related to the onboard lan adapter [00:52] the problem is that i cant set the correct resolution which it best suits my monitor, it doesn appear in the options provided by the nvidia driver [00:52] so booting up again [00:53] Frenk: no clue, never used OpenVAS. [00:53] feuergeist: update, then try to force it in xorg.conf. also what resoluion is your monitor's max, and what is it displaying? [00:53] feuergeist, have you tried nvidia-settings? [00:53] Frenk same here but it looks legitimate [00:54] my monitor is a samunsung 2033 [00:54] My server is going wild: 100% CPU and Rack: /var/www/ [00:54] nvidia-settings dont help me [00:54] and some wired letter-number combo [00:54] the optimus resolution does not appear [00:54] feuergeist, can you open a terminal? [00:54] I can [00:54] Frenk when you run top press shift + i [00:54] Damn... I don't have the live CD just an ISO. [00:55] feuergeist: and the exact nvidia chipset is? and the monitor is connected how? and you are using the nvidia drivers from the System-> admin -> addational drivers tool ? [00:55] im sure [00:55] ZykoticK9: 3d effects on the laptop of my father (wich has an ATI card) works out of the box [00:55] feuergeist, type: xrandr [00:55] nvidia chipset? dont get it, rookie here [00:56] feuergeist, type: pastebin the results. [00:56] listo [00:56] Musashi0011_, do you have virtualbox installed? If so, install a lightweight linux distro, install unetbootin in it and make the usb disk. dont waste time on trying to do it on a mac ;) [00:56] I just did cat /var/log/auth.log and it looks like there is an ip address that is trying to login to root from several different ports and different user names - is this normal or is someone trying to hack me right now?

I thought of that... Unfortunately as big of a fan as I am of VirtualBox I don't have it installed on this mac book pro. Darn [00:56] cgcardona if you have a ssh server running on 22 yes [00:57] good job, being stupid and not using pastebin [00:57] feuergeist, what is you desired res? [00:57] Musashi0011_, install it then! [00:57] 1600 x 900 does not appear [00:57] r007: yes someone is trying to hack me? [00:57] cgcardona best thing other than using a good password is changing the password is changing the port it listens on... [00:57] how do I find out what port my ssh server is running on? [00:57] ok [00:57] is this common? [00:58] cgcardona not you in particular just any weak root passes [00:58] basix. I could... It just upsets me that I can't create a darn bootable usb on my mac with an iso.. [00:58] so I need to change what port my ssh server listens in on? [00:58] feuergeist, see me in private window. [00:58] or disable ssh login for root [00:58] Should be easy. just convert it to an img and run the dd command... [00:58] too [00:58] r007 http://d.imagehost.org/0224/screen.png [00:58] brb [00:59] cgcardona by default it is 22 edit the ssh config file to change the port [00:59] feuergeist: you did use the system->admin->addational drivers tool yet? [00:59] i am still a little unclear about that filo1234 - so do I create a new user other than root and then give that user the power to sude? [00:59] Musashi0011_, ah [00:59] cgcardona you dont need to its normal that your logs are like they are but it is advisable [00:59] Frenk: it seems like someone used an apache exploit [01:00] Frenk: and who the hell is "nobody" ? [01:00] and ssh keys are better than passwords? === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [01:00] basix ?? [01:00] currently I am using both a macbook and a cr-48 and I haven't been able to add ssh keys to the cr48 so I have been using a password to ssh [01:00] ok so #pulseaudio refuses to fess up and fix the problem [01:00] so looks like i'm stuck [01:01] cgcardona keys are more secure than passwords yes it will only allow the user who has the key to login [01:01] txdv: I dont have a user named nobody =( [01:01] hey, i want to watch a movie on my tv from my ubuntu laptop. i get it to display and everything on the tv, but the correct resolution isn't there, and the closest match is all alised and hurts my eyes. any way to add a resolution? [01:01] or anyone els [01:01] so you totally got hacked [01:01] what are you using> [01:01] ubuntu? [01:01] yep [01:01] ubuntu sucks for servers [01:02] i was hacked too when i used 6.04 [01:02] Musashi0011_, i thought you just wanted it to be done. didnt know you were trying to make it work on the mac [01:02] ever since then im using debian stable [01:02] cgcardona also disabling root logins is better an using sudo but doesent apply to ubuntu [01:02] cgcardona: netstat -nap [01:02] cgcardona: normally way is disable root ssh login, but in each case enable root with a good password and change default port [01:02] IMHO [01:02] txdv: I used OpenVAS to test my server - Thats where the explot was from. [01:03] cgcardona make sure you edit sudoers though as a sudo user is root on ubuntu [01:03] O, so openvas created those processes? [01:03] basix: Yea... There are allot of tools available on Windows and Linux to get it done. I not only want to get it done on my mac, but I would also like to know why it doesn't work. [01:03] hi i got this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/547576/ [01:04] txdv: at least I think so [01:04] Musashi0011_, ah [01:04] i don't totally follow - wondering where a good online resource is? [01:04] hi i got this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/547576/ what package i have to install ? [01:04] Using UNE on a Acer Aspire One and it cuts off the bottom of the screen hiding my response buttons. Can it be fixed and does anyone have a link to instructions? [01:04] Musashi0011_: Have you tried the instructions on the ubuntu.com download page? [01:04] How do I manually remove a package from dpkg's database? [01:04] basix: The bios info is correctly set on my laptop PC and the image 10.10 has been unpacked to the usb drive via (dd if=/Users/MusashiBaka/Downloads/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m) [01:04] txdv: because the server is in a local network so i dont think someone hacked it at 02;04 am [01:05] Jordan_U: Yes I have, to the letter. [01:05] Musashi0011_: They look to me like they shouldn't actually work, but for now I'm giving Ubuntu the benefit of the doubt. [01:05] Jordan_U: why do you think the shouldn't work? [01:05] well, it is not secure anyway [01:06] Musashi0011_: Because you can't magically convert a .iso image into a bootable usb image. [01:06] where is the ssh config file? [01:07] in /etc/ssh [01:07] anyone else have an issue playing a youtube video with other sound going on in the background? [01:07] Jordan_U: Steve Jobs wants us to believe in magic.... [01:07] or vice versa? [01:07] i need some more brains on this [01:07] MAAAAGIIICCCC [01:07] SORCERY [01:07] rinku_kokiri, what's the issue? [01:08] rinku_kokiri, please stop that [01:08] Jordan_U: So I guess that begs the question, "What makes a bootable image, a bootable image?" [01:08] rinku believe thats a bug with flash iirc [01:08] so i've been told three different thing's now [01:08] it's a bug with flash/alsa/pulseaudio [01:08] which one is it [01:08] Musashi0011_: Ahh, I understand the directions now. They will only work if you're booting from an intel mac, they won't work for creating a USB that's bootable on a BIOS based machine. [01:09] its flash [01:09] UnholyTerror, open a youtube video.. then try to play music via your favorite music player [01:09] rinku_kokiri, what's the issue? [01:09] what's the fix? [01:09] since it is not an open source project, you can only blame flash [01:09] ... [01:09] rinku_kokiri, what's the issue? [01:09] Musashi0011_: Still not sure what that conversion is actually supposed to do, but that makes the instructions at least plausible. [01:09] the fix is: make it open source [01:09] can anyone assist with screen cutoff issue with UNE on a netbook? [01:09] UnholyTerror, try the above., you'll find one doesn't work while the other is [01:09] Hello, I have installed uubntu 10.10 on my acer timeline X aspire 4820TG and I have a problem with my battery (it always shows as being 100% charged, even if it's not). Could it be that I installed x86 ubuntu even though my machine is x64? [01:09] r007: so I just open that config file and uncomment the line that says "Port 22" and change the number from 22 to another random number? [01:10] rinku_kokiri: stop expecting we guess, are you using hardy heron¿ [01:10] never expected a guess [01:10] cgcaradona change it to a useable port though [01:10] and no i don't run classic software [01:10] a useable port? [01:11] !details [01:11] rinku_kokiri: then would you provide some useful information¿ [01:11] 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 ..." === cgcardona_ is now known as cgcardona [01:11] xangua, have.. flash does not let anything else play audio [01:11] and vice versa [01:11] using latest everything [01:11] cgcardona: uncomment? you can change Port on /etc/ssh/sshd_config not on /etc/ssh/ssh_config [01:11] cgcaradona yeah for example not 80 , 25 110, etc [01:12] xangua, sorry if i seem short, i've been trying to figure this out all day [01:12] Hello, I have installed ubuntu 10.10 on my acer timeline X aspire 4820TG and I have a problem with my battery (it always shows as being 100% charged, even if it's not). Could it be that I installed x86 ubuntu even though my machine is x64? [01:12] filo the default port line is commented out [01:13] so which file should I change it in? ssh_config or sshd_config or both? [01:13] nub2: it doesnt have anything to do with your cpu architecture [01:13] thanks r007 and filo1234 [01:13] :) [01:13] r007: in ssh_config but it can be changed on sshd_config [01:13] hi everybody [01:13] Musashi0011_: Are you trying to make a USB for an intel mac or a BIOS based system? [01:13] txdv: any Idea what it could be then? [01:13] merry christmas [01:14] confused - in ssh_config it is commented out - in sshd_config it is not commented out - if I uncomment it and change it in ssh_config do I also need to change it in sshd_config? [01:14] Jordan_U: Its an acer laptop [01:14] either dell doesnt comply to the hardware standard or it is a bug in the kernel [01:14] so for more info.. here you go:: Linux rinku 2.6.35-23-generic-pae #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 10:35:46 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux :: flashplugin-installer 10,1,102,65 installed :: while using youtube/ustream/any type of web based flash media, no other media will play, no system sounds, no mplayer, no amarok, etc. [01:14] there [01:14] cgcaradona no just change the sshd_config [01:14] cgcardona: one is for the client, the other is for the server. Depends on what you want to do. [01:14] cgcardona: recomment on ssh_config and change in sshd_config [01:14] JOrdan_U: but I am trying to create the bootable USB on my mac. [01:14] cool thanks [01:15] cgcardona: and restart service [01:15] as in reboot my linode? [01:15] or am i good saying "flash won't let other apps play sound" ? [01:15] I'm facing problem with gpg keys. When running apt-get update it gives me errors in the gpg authentication. so I ran the keys in this script http://pastebin.com/CKhGjAUZ but the problem still exists :s [01:15] cgcaradona no as isn service sshd restart [01:15] can anyone assist with the screen cutoff issue using UNE on a netbook? Is there a fix or do i need to look for a different distro? [01:16] cgcardona: not necessary reboot sudo service sshd restart [01:16] flash sucks, but it should actually play fine [01:16] could be an error in alsa pulse audio wrapper or alsa itself [01:16] Musashi0011_: Ok. Do you want to try a combination of beta code and instructions that I can't actually test at the moment? [01:16] Jordan_U: Why do you think the ubuntu instructions only work for an intel based mac, as opposed to a PC? [01:16] ubuntu uses alsa as far as i know [01:16] when I try sudo service sshd restart I get sshd: unrecongized service [01:17] earlier i was told to touch asound.conf and fill it with stuff [01:17] cgcardona: ssh [01:17] so i did.. [01:17] something did change... amarok APPEARED to be playing media [01:17] but still no sound... [01:17] cgcaradona you have root enabled and proper sudo setup other than the default by the sounds of it... [01:17] rinku_kokiri, ok, so what is your issue? [01:17] yeah I should have root and sude [01:17] Jordan_U: Ohhh Beta.... [01:17] cgcaradona try /sbin/service sshd restart [01:17] Hi [01:17] anyone else having battery isues? [01:18] unholyterror again "flash won't let other apps play sound" [01:18] i.e. while a youtube video is playing.. NOTHING ELSE CAN PLAY SOUND [01:18] rinku_kokiri, I have sound from both youtube and rhythmbox at the same time. [01:18] JOrdan_U, Ubuntu beta? [01:18] ok - so "sudo service ssh restart" gives me "ssh start/running, process #number" - how can I check to confirm that ssh is now running on the port I chose? [01:18] Musashi0011_: The Ubuntu liveCD images contain grub-efi, which be loaded via USB and a syslinux install that is only configured to boot from CD . [01:18] rinku_kokiri, Playing off an ipod nano 1G [01:18] cgcardona: old name about ssh service :) [01:19] cgcardona: netstat -anp | grep sshd [01:19] how do i disable the annoying system sounds in lubuntu when i open an app or tab in firefox? [01:19] Whats ssh? [01:19] cgcaradona sudo ssh status [01:19] secure shell [01:19] !ssh | royale1223 [01:19] royale1223: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

[01:20] Musashi0011_: ^^ [01:20] Jordan_U: that would work, but unfortunately I don't have any CD-RW at home which is why I'm trying to create a bootable USB. [01:20] Whats the diffrent frm bash? [01:20] royale1223: remote access to a system. [01:20] royale1223: read wiki, it's for remote login by shell [01:20] Alryt [01:20] royale1223 its remote bash [01:20] awesome it appears to moved it from port 22 to the new port - sweet sauce [01:20] not to add some proper ssh keys [01:20] ok.. UnholyTerror start playing a youtube video (via firefox) and open your sound preferences > applications. [01:20] tell me if it shows firefox [01:20] how do i disable the annoying system sounds in lubuntu when i open an app or tab in firefox? [01:20] Jordan_U: Its a major catch 22. In order to create a bootable USB I need a CD... Which if I had I wouldn't need a bootable USB. Irony.... [01:21] UnholyTerror, cause thats where i think my issue is.. [01:21] when I type top is shows that I have 2 users - how can that be? [01:21] 03:18 [ BaconZombie ] [ guichtong ] [ nimrod10 ] [ Vimk_ ] [01:21] 03:18 [ BaconZombie ] [ guichtong ] [ nimrod10 ] [ Vimk_ ] [01:21] 03:18 [ BaconZombie ] [ guichtong ] [ nimrod10 ] [ Vimk_ ] [01:21] 03:18 [ BaconZombie ] [ guichtong ] [ nimrod10 ] [ Vimk_ ] [01:22] Jordan_U: bootable usb 4?? [01:22] cgcaradona what does the who command show? [01:22] rinku_kokiri, I'm using Chrome so it shows that. ALSA Mixer plug-in. [01:22] ok [01:22] cause when i run mine (via firefox or opera) it shows nothing in the apps tab [01:22] when sound is working from youtube [01:22] r007: it shows me on pts/1 and some other ip address on pts/0 :-/ [01:23] How do I tell if I have the latest driver for my REALLY outdated ATI card (MobilityRadeon X300)? [01:23] cgcaradona can you copy paste if not are the ips differnet? [01:23] rinku_kokiri, and of course it also showed Rhythmbox (for the ipod) [01:24] Musashi0011_: Super GRUB2 DIsk beta.. [01:24] SO does anyone have any idea why an application playing sound wouldn't show up in my sound preferences > applications tab? [01:24] UnholyTerror, i expected that. lol [01:24] can anyone assist with screen cutoff issue in UNE on a netbook? [01:24] r000t_laptop: run software update, if there is something available it will tell you. [01:25] burhan: Also, how do I tell what drivers I have? I heard the x.org project built drivers manually [01:25] r007: I PMed the IP addresses to you [01:25] screen cutoff issue appears to be a known issue but I cannot find out IF there is a fix [01:25] hey I have a problem with my battery (it always show it is at 100%). Any idea what could be wrong? [01:25] r000t_laptop: run the driver wizard (that's the easy way). Or, grep the Xorg.log file, it will tell you which driver is being used. [01:25] cgcaradona your box looks like it might be owened [01:25] Musashi0011_: This would allow you to make the USB from OSX. [01:26] Jordan_U: sounds great... [01:26] laurel, can you choose another res? [01:26] Jordan_U: Anything with a Super prepended to it must be awesome! [01:26] r007: not good - I was recently logged on from my cr48 [01:26] UnholyTerror, yes, but it only decreases width, cannot increase height and cannot move window [01:27] how can I check what IP address it was using? [01:27] or will it be the same as my macbook? [01:27] cgcaradona different isp? [01:27] laurel, open a terminal... [01:27] so update... gnome volume control won't show firefox playing audio [01:27] and i still can't play youtube and amarok at the same time === sanchaz-away is now known as sanchaz [01:27] my cr48 was tethered to my android phone because it doesn't pick up wifi in my office and my macbook is on the house wifi which is the hawaii ip [01:28] cgcaradona the bit i brackets [01:28] *in [01:28] where is xorg.log?

[01:45] no i cant r007 .... my ping request stick in localhost ... [01:46] only with tinyurl [01:46] other urls, its ok.. TTL ok [01:46] how do u say Bizarre? [01:47] hey if someone was really really really stupid and deleted /var/lib/dpkg/ how would one fix it [01:47] lmao @ microwae [01:47] i need help [01:47] Okay I just fiddled with the appearance settings. I set it from normal to extra to none to normal. On that final switch, it looks like it installed drivers. How do I tell what changed? [01:47] me too [01:47] i have just done something really stupid [01:47] and need to know how to fix it [01:47] i need help with my wl-608 wireless adapter .. keeps disconnectin randmly [01:47] cgcardona dont believe the hype about not having a root account having root is good that way a sudo user isnt root like it is in ubuntu.

[01:49] alabala_, and is it running when you disconnect? [01:49] if someone was stupid enough to delete /var/lib/dpkg/ how would one fix it [01:49] r007, cgcardona very bad idea [01:49] lol [01:49] r007, please dont recommend that here. sudo -i for a root shell [01:49] http://mm.bbspals.org/linux/lost-var-lib-dpkg-on-debian/ [01:50] Also I don't think anything changes from normal to extra [01:50] may help ^^ [01:50] except the wobbling [01:50] how do I get /var/lib/dpkg/ back [01:50] please? [01:50] Arachon I am running UNE 10.10 [01:50] im kind of freaking out [01:50] but I am new to it [01:50] bazhang it does no harm in all the other distros like having a sudo user that IS root isnt worse lol [01:50] hey guys im somewhat new to ubuntu, and my built in software raid array crashed, any ideas on how to repair? 6x750gb drives in RAID 5 [01:50] bazhang: why is it a bad idea? [01:51] r007, again, its not up for debate; don't recommend it here, thanks [01:51] !rootsudo > r007 [01:51] r007, please see my private message [01:51] lmao [01:51] !linux noobs [01:51] laurel: Ok... Have you gotten the hang of the interface at all? I find it very confusing.... For example, is it at all possible to exclusively use the Unity file manager, or will I have to depend on Nautilus to view more "advanced" folders? [01:51] r007, please stop that. [01:52] sorry, too new to answer that, lol [01:52] Aight [01:52] <--looks to educate herself on Nautilus [01:52] r000t_laptop, what's the problem? [01:53] truth is having a root acount is more secure than having a sudoer that has root privilages [01:53] r007, lets move on please [01:53] UnholyTerror I need the latest drivers for this card because there's something wrong if it can't handle minecraft for more than a minute [01:53] I believe I exclusively use the unity fm, since I know nothing else, hehe [01:53] laurel: It's essentially Ubuntu's equivalent of the Windows explorer, or OSX's finder [01:53] well going to offtopic now heh [01:53] god the ubuntu channel is useless === yunhee is now known as yun [01:54] And it seems to be more "complete" than Unity FM... Unless I'm missing something.... As I've only been able to access the "pre-determined" folders from Unity FM [01:54] bazhang fair dos but please dont tell me Im wrong [01:54] r007: you may be right for other distros but it is not the Ubuntu way. [01:55] r007, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish to debate the merits of this, please [01:56] Its not off topic but aint going to go on it is ubuntu related though [01:56] how about this... i want to be able to play youtube and wow and hear both [01:56] right now i can't [01:56] anyone take it on? [01:56] rinku_kokiri, got pavucontrol and padevchooser installed? [01:56] rinku_kokiri: you want to play youtube, and WoW.. at the same time? [01:57] yep and yep [01:57] arachon: do you use it on a netbook? [01:57] have bottom of screen cutoff issues? [01:57] laurel: Yep [01:57] rinku_kokiri, yep and yep to whom [01:57] Hi im new to ubuntu. can i ask a question? i installed my ubuntu and it wouldnt work for a while, until finally i tried putting in "live video=ofonly" and it worked all good. the only problem is that everything is tinted blue. how do i solve this? [01:57] r007: Your security is as strong as the weakest link in your security chain. [01:57] bazhang, both [01:57] so i am still a little unclear on what the ubuntu way is? should I create a new user other than root and log in as that user on the regular bazhang ? [01:57] lol === histo_ is now known as histo [01:57] cgcardona: there is no root user. [01:58] been through a whole bunch of things, including touching asound.conf and adding some text in it.. [01:58] !sudo | cgard [01:58] cgard: 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 [01:58] !root | cgcardona [01:58] cgcardona: 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 [01:58] i think the base problem is.. when youtube is playing via firefox/opera, it doesn't show in gnome-volume-control liek other apps do [01:58] arachon: have screen cutoff issues? [01:58] KM0201: if there is no root user then why does ubuntu start me out with a user named root? [01:58] cgcardona: if you don't want a user to have "sudo" priv... you remove them from sudo group.. and voila... [01:58] anyone know what my problem is? [01:58] jpds yes but usually an admin ie root is more secure than a user ie sudo [01:59] laurel: How do you mean, like the screen dies occasionally? [01:59] cgcardona, did you name your user root? [01:59] cgcardona: ubuntu should not be doing that... unless you've followed some hinky instructions. [01:59] how can i figure out how many sectors are on my hard drive? [01:59] KM0201: 'admin' group. [01:59] r000t_laptop, what does Xorg.0.log say? [01:59] jpds: well, yeah, admin. [01:59] i have to consider my audience [01:59] Always important to know. [01:59] KM0201: rinku_kokiri I didn't name my user anything - I am just using linode - that is what it starts me out with [01:59] Question: Does anybody know the metapackage that keeps the Kernel up to date? I've been fooling around with BURG and I'm worried that it uninstalled the metapackage, and that my Kernel's not being updated. [01:59] kaddi: look at the label on it. [02:00] no, when navigating through a program like Gnucash (and others) one cannot see the buttons that are surely there like OK and Back and Cancel [02:00] Oh [02:00] histo: is there an option that wouldn't include opening up my laptop? [02:00] kaddi: maybe hdparm or something [02:00] Yeah, got that in the mail setup "wizard" [02:00] cgcardona: what does linode, have to do w/ Ubuntu? [02:00] found a fix? found IF there is a fix? I am here looking [02:00] KM0201: my linode is running ubuntu [02:00] ok [02:00] Hi im new to ubuntu. can i ask a question? i installed my ubuntu and it wouldnt work for a while, until finally i tried putting in "live video=ofonly" and it worked all good. the only problem is that everything is tinted blue. how do i solve this? [02:00] Nah, didn't think much of it <.< [02:01] kaddi: yeap sudo hdparm /dev/sda will work [02:01] thanks histo :) [02:01] bazhang, so i've been through a lot of nothing, touching asound.conf and filling it with gobblydegook, (lol) only thing that changed is when I play youtube and then play amarok, amarok at least tries to play sound, instead of sitting @ 0:00 it counts, but still no sound [02:01] It has become a pain, have run into it three times and I cannot guess how many tabs to hit on one [02:01] Question: Does anybody know the metapackage that keeps the Kernel up to date? I've been fooling around with BURG and I'm worried that it uninstalled the metapackage, and that my Kernel's not being updated. [02:01] guyz , i want to artificially increase the screen resolution to check an image with big dimensions , is there a way to do it ? [02:01] joey_1, why would you mess with BURG?

[02:02] Skaperen: they put it in the partner repo [02:02] !partner | Skaperen [02:02] Skaperen: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [02:02] hi. im getting message "acces denied" when i tru to do ./framework-3.5.1-linux-i686.run [02:02] partner repo ... same name? [02:02] and i am running bash as root [02:02] UnholyTerror: Just trying it out, I'm not new to Linux so I thought I'd tinker. I'm just wondering what apt uses to keep the Kernel up to date. [02:02] Skaperen: yeah sun-java6-plugin [02:03] it was "sun-java6-plugin" before [02:03] thanks UnholyTerror and Arachon for trying to help [02:03] DominoDrive: what does the script do? [02:03] I have Poco library.... and I have linux. Where showul I place this library? [02:03] OK, thanks! [02:03] I need to work with this library .... with C++ [02:03] Question: i just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my mac (ppc) and it wouldnt install for a while, until finally i tried putting in "live video=ofonly" at the boot screen and it worked all good. the only problem is that everything is tinted blue. how do i solve this?

Chances are nothing got messed up. Do you know what the latest official kernel version for a Maverick is? I'm at 2.6.35-23 [02:06] Q: Is there any way to install bacula without requiring postfix ? [02:06] ASSSHOL:S [02:06] !repeat | Guest22638 [02:06] Guest22638: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [02:06] Question: i just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my mac (ppc) and it wouldnt install for a while, until finally i tried putting in "live video=ofonly" at the boot screen and it worked all good. the only problem is that everything is tinted blue. how do i solve this? [02:07] so it is a good idea to change the username from root to something else? [02:07] joey_i no idea Im using 0.04 and its 2.6.32-26 [02:07] family: Just taking a random guess here, but do you have a NVIDIA graphics card? Are you using Nouveau? I've had difficulty with the ppc and NVIDIA graphics [02:07] cgcardona, yes! [02:07] roo7: no problem, thanks so much! [02:07] Yes its possible [02:07] im not sure how to check [02:08] im pretty sure apple uses those though === rgb is now known as Guest59455 [02:08] UnholyTerror: how do I do that? [02:08] family: try doing typing: lspci | grep "VGA" into the command line, see what it comes up with [02:09] okay, should it put that into the turminal? [02:09] terminal* [02:09] family: yes [02:09] cgcardona, System->Administration->Users and Groups, create a new account [02:09] family: the bad news is I never sorted out my NVIDIA problems, but if it is a Nouveau issue that might help an expert know how to fix it better [02:10] Ok. just to be clear i should type in exactly this? lspci | grep "VGA" [02:10] Hey, I have a Ubuntu-Server and I have a question regarding security-updated. I just successfully tried to exploit my Apache. There is information about a vulnerabilitie on USN but my server doesnt suggest to update anything! (Although I have security.ubuntu in my sourcelist) There are suggested updates for OpenSSL, ClamAV and Apache (on USN) but none of them appear in my update-lust. How to fix that? [02:10] no quotes [02:10] UnholyTerror: i am doing it via command line on the server [02:10] wondering if it was .asoundrc that was the problem [02:10] meh [02:10] family: yes, type exactly that [02:11] family: lspci lists all of the system information [02:11] family: then it pipes it into grep, which searches for lines with the phrase "VGA". In case you were interested... [02:11] Frenk the versions on the os arent the same as the ones the original package is if that makes sense [02:12] family: It should come up with at something indicating what video card you have [02:12] Frenk they are patched look up linux backports [02:12] Frenk: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [02:12] Frenk: or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:12] so I need to create a new user - add that user to the sudoers group - and then delete the user named root UnholyTerror ? [02:12] Oh thanks for the info. Well heres what i got VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)]] [02:13] cgcardona, no delete root, no no no [02:13] i am totally confused [02:13] is there a root user or not? [02:13] i am firing up a linode ubuntu distro [02:13] it tells me to ssh in using root@ipsaddress [02:13] so is that root or not? [02:14] and should I change that login or not? [02:14] family: definitely not a nouveau issue then. I can't help you any further (I'm not a video card expert), but at last you can tell an expert what video card you have [02:14] cgcardona: It is, Linode have made their own changes to the default Ubuntu install. [02:14] hi [02:14] om sorry but theres nothing wrong with root its just ubuntu is aimed at people who cant be trusted with it ffs [02:14] hey, are there volume compressor plugin for pulseaudio? [02:14] or can i use ladspa plugin with pulseaudio? [02:14] any one here comes from China~ [02:14] Okay well thanks for the help [02:14] r007, lets move on, and watch the language please [02:14] ok so new thinkg [02:14] !cn | wowoto [02:14] wowoto: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:14] wowoto, #ubuntu-cn [02:15] anyone know the mono core name in package manager? [02:15] cgcardona, once you are sure your new account is working properly, remove the root's password. [02:15] gnome-volume-control doesn't work without pulseaudio.. << how to make it or wha'ts an alternative [02:15] installed sun-java6-plugin ... but java is still not in Firefox ... after a reboot ... is there another step needed? [02:15] UnholyTerror: after I create a new user with sudo ability? [02:15] cgcardona, yes [02:15] bazhang: no, right now i can not input any chinese character [02:16] how the heck do I remove the roots password? [02:16] anyone know the mono core name in package manager? [02:16] cgcardona: change it to something obscure? [02:16] cgcardona: /etc/ssh/sshd_config → PermitRootLogin no [02:16] wowoto, via ibus [02:16] cgcardona: usermod -L root [02:16] cgcardona, you would use the same Users and Groups... [02:17] bazhang: can not use ibus in tty2 [02:17] wowoto, you want to use only Chinese? [02:17] Can anyone tell me why Opera wants to use its own font instead of the font I defined in the Appearance box? [02:18] bazhang: since my english's so poor ....:C [02:18] i still don't understand if I am logging in as root or not when I ssh root@ipaddress [02:18] cgcardona: You are. [02:18] wowoto, not sure about tty, in the gui ibus works great. perhaps #ubuntu-cn can shed some light there [02:18] bazhang: thx [02:18] yeah is it possible to have chinese pinyin input on here? [02:18] merry christmas #ubuntu [02:18] so it is dangerous to log in as root if I don't know what I'm doing? [02:19] cgcardona: But you can create a new user account, add it to the sudoers admin group; and then lock down the root account. [02:19] cgcardona: Potentially, knowledge is power. [02:19] cgcardona, are you trolling now? [02:20] exit [02:20] cgcardona: it's dangerous to play with loaded guns, too ... but they can have power in the right hands [02:20] jpds, that's what I just told them... [02:21] yes it is dangerous to log in as root if you dont know what your doing [02:21] UnholyTerror: am I trolling? [02:22] no I am complete newb and am confused [02:22] but ubuntu took root away on other distros you get a warning when running sudo [02:22] so i uninstalled pulseaudio.. it fixed my flash problem.. but now i can't adjust the volume, gnome-volume-control isn't on the panel [02:22] but on ubuntu sudo is root [02:22] and when i try to run it via cli it gives me an error ** (gnome-volume-control:3337): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting... [02:22] no other distros use sudo [02:23] su -c is much ore secure [02:23] Anyone want to help me combine Chrome OS stuff with a ubuntu install? [02:23] r007, please stop [02:23] sudo is only needed for multi users [02:23] people are asking [02:23] Tito0096, remaster it? [02:23] anyone have any ideas how to now fix gnome-volume-control? [02:23] r007, and I have asked you to move on, repeatedly [02:23] cgcardona, when you new account is set up and you need to perform 'admin' type actions. Linux will ask you for your password. [02:23] jpds: I think I got the answer I need - create a new user in the same group as root - then lock down root [02:23] or should i just reinstall pulseaudio [02:23] Bazhang, I need some drivers from Chrome OS on the Cr-48 to put in the Ubuntu install [02:24] cgcardona: Yep. [02:24] cgcardona, what OS are you using? [02:24] I have but people are asking questions arnt we supposed to answer them? [02:24] i am using ubuntu 10.04 [02:24] on the server [02:24] cgcardona: You have to put the new user into the 'admin' group (ie, adduser username admin). [02:24] r007, the ubuntu way, not to your own non-ubuntu liking [02:24] jpds: cool [02:24] cgcardona, what server? [02:24] no the Linux way bazhang [02:24] sorry for asking the same questions over and over - definitely not trolling [02:24] r007, not here [02:24] UnholyTerror: linode [02:25] cgcardona: The /etc/sudoers file defines which group as sudo rights. [02:25] so this isnt Linux is it suppose that is the ubuntu way [02:25] YES I FIXED IT [02:25] but [02:26] i still don't have the volume icon on the gnome-panel [02:26] cgcardona: When you've created your new user, you can check that it has the right privs, logging in and then running: sudo -l [02:26] that is a capital i [02:26] ok cool [02:27] wait i thought that was an l [02:27] thanks again - a lot to digest here but I will reread it twice before I spam the room with newb questions again [02:27] lowercase L [02:27] or is it a lower case L [02:27] sorry my bad [02:27] it is [02:27] lowercase l [02:27] I = l [02:27] exit [02:27] cgcardona: No worries, we all had to start as beginners some day. [02:28] cgcardona, best to ask :) [02:28] test [02:28] does ubuntu server default to root as the user on install? [02:29] UnholyTerror: No, it's just how Linode have set it up. [02:29] unholy now ubuntu server does not have root [02:29] no not now* [02:29] jpds, good god! [02:29] UnholyTerror: Amazon do the same with their EC2 instances, and no; I'm not him. [02:30] Im serously going off ubutu [02:30] r007, please dont continue [02:30] jpds: cgcardona add the new user to admin group and it'll be able to use sudo [02:30] its like the download options windows mac or ubuntu dont forget what this is LINUX [02:30] r007: GNU/Linux, thanks. [02:31] jpds, this has got to be a way to get support $$$ from people that end up screwing up their accounts. [02:31] hi. in order to familiarize someone else with ubuntu i am making it look a little more like windows xp for them. i just found a site and i am wondering if what it siggests is safe. also the site's url made me have some doubts about triusting it... http://ubuntu.online02.com/node/14 [02:31] true jpds sorry [02:31] should i try it? [02:31] on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins someone added that the Java plugins instructions do not work ... and could not fix the referenced page ... anyone know if that command there is the right one? [02:31] r007, it is trivial to enable root [02:32] noonian I know it is but Linux is about choice [02:32] cr215: in my opinion, Kubuntu resembles windows 7/xp more than anything. it may be easier to convert a windows user with [02:32] cr215, for what purpose? [02:32] e.g. is the Java plugin now a new package? if so, why didn't they delete the wrong one? [02:32] Stop now with all the enabling root in Ubuntu talk. it is NOT supported and will get you banned very soon. [02:32] * Skaperen installed sub-java6-plugin but it doesn't work [02:32] are there logs for this room? [02:32] r007, you have a choice. [02:33] Skaperen, from the partner repo? [02:33] !logs | cgcardona [02:33] cgcardona: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [02:33] IdleOne, actually we were talking about disabling root... but i'm done with it. [02:33] bazhang: yeah [02:33] Skaperen, restarted firefox after installing? [02:33] are conical telling you to do this [02:33] its for my mom... i love gnome ive personallized it a lot many times and i could do it on my own but i was curious about this paticular script [02:34] bazhang: I even rebooted ... and just checked another machine that is amd64 and it's not there either [02:34] I don't know what happened, but after doing apt-get update and upgrade my wifi won't connect [02:34] theres a youtube video that shows the process... its supposed to be some kind of script that does it all for you [02:34] its so f$n weird and frustrating [02:34] and is easily reversable... but could it be a scal to teick ppl into downloading malware? [02:34] booyah [02:34] cr215: look at the script to see if it has anything malicious [02:35] yeyo [02:35] i gots flash and amarok playing audio at the shame time [02:35] bazhang: current machine where I need to get java working is a netbook, i386 [02:35] cr215, if you make it look like XP, she'll end up thinking it's XP... and it won't be XP... [02:35] i dont know enuff aoburt scripts... just one i have wriitten down somwhere so i never do it [02:35] I'm getting errors from mono [02:35] o wait thats a terminal command [02:35] Skaperen, odd, it works fine here [02:36] I love ubuntu be it seem every version I struggle with nvidia, pulse audio and jackd [02:36] cr215: then teach your mother how to use what you have instead of some, possibly, evil script. [02:36] bazhang: I know I've had it working, but now I think maybe all the machines I had it on are on 9.10 [02:36] Fezzler, which nvidia card [02:36] lol @unholy terror... i want it to be gnome... just to ease her transition [02:36] I spend more time working on the PC that working or being creative [02:36] cr215: I think making Ubuntu look like windows would be counter productive, if you want the the user to get used to Ubuntu let them use Ubuntu. [02:36] cr215, check for themes at gnome-look.org [02:36] #techsupport [02:36] Fezzler, for playing games, or not so much [02:36] bazhang>> Geoforce FX5500 [02:36] Fezzler: click Systme > admin > hardware drivers done with nvidia what else is there? [02:36] any suggestions or wasing her transition? [02:36] bazhang>> Just trying to get compiz working [02:36] i loved gnome from the start [02:37] bazhang: I don't normally use Java so I would not really notice ... but on this machine I need to get it working [02:37] Fezzler, thats an older card, the open source drivers work fine here ( a bit newer card though 9400 iirc) [02:37] i could just put some shortcuts on the desktop for her [02:37] Skaperen: open or sun? [02:37] how do u make one for the trash? [02:37] Fezzler, what's the problem? [02:37] bazhang: I've even wiped off ${HOME}/.mozilla and restarted Firefox to let it create a new config, and still the Java plugin is not there [02:38] bazhang: Firefox needs a "plugin control" menu panel where it lists all files in the plugins areas, which look valid, which are enabled, etc [02:39] My sound issue was an invalid .asoundrc [02:39] cr215: you don't have to. check the bottom right corner of your screen. do you see the Trash icon [02:39] all fixed nau [02:39] i know [02:39] Does anyone know how mono works? I'm getting errors from something that says it is mono enabled [02:39] just wondering how if someone wanted to [02:40] I have it in a pastebin [02:40] cuz i dont know its file location or command [02:40] bazhang: should I re-install from scratch? [02:40] !trash | cr215 [02:40] cr215: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [02:40] if anyone wants to know/see [02:40] here it i [02:40] s [02:40] http://pastebin.com/FGF53A6T [02:40] AegNuddel, I know you can get it from kissing... [02:40] Skaperen, that is almost never the answer for such an issue; do you have any other java installed? icedtea or the like?

[02:43] bazhang: java-common, sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre, sun-java6-plugin (did "dpkg -l | grep java") [02:44] daxt_: nvidia ? [02:44] daxt_: not if your monitor does not support it at all. nut try this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/546908/ [02:44] daxt_: *but [02:44] unholyterror my max screen resolution is 1440X900, i am looking for some way of increasing into twice the size of it temporary [02:44] yes NVIDIA [02:45] !info nvidia-settings | daxt_ [02:45] daxt_: nvidia-settings (source: nvidia-settings): Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver. In component main, is optional. Version 260.19.06-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 828 kB, installed size 1928 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) [02:45] daxt_: you wanting to match your monitor, or exceed it? [02:45] exceed it temporarily [02:45] Hi, I'm having issues with Pidgin's audio. Usually any sound it plays starts off with a crackly noise. [02:45] coz i got an image with huge dimensions [02:46] daxt_: probably have to hack the Xorg config file [02:46] i want to see it as one [02:46] daxt_: you can't exceed unless your monitor and graphics card supports so [02:46] My home is "/Users/Anthony" where /Users is a symlink to /media/Macintosh HD/Users. When I open Gnome Terminal, it begins with in /media/Macintosh HD/Users/Anthony, instead of "~". Is there a way to make it start at ~? typing cd ~ works [02:46] (If Pidgin is off topic, I'll go ask there, but since the issue is with the audio, it's more a system thing.) [02:46] daxt_: do you want a large workspace (example 2560x1600) with a small window into it (e.g. match monitor like 1440x900) ? [02:47] u all know web developer toolbar right , it has an option to set custom resolutions inside the firefox which can do beyond the supported resolution [02:47] Skaperen yes i want large workspace [02:47] daxt_: if you exceed your monitor, it likely will just blank out [02:47] daxt_: use the link which i gave above. print it and then try it. but beware that it'l most likely not work as your monitor does not support [02:47] daxt, what do you need to do. see a large image on the screen all at once. the image viewer will do that. [02:47] Merry Christmas [02:47] ^ [02:48] daxt_: change the resolution of the image and then view it... [02:48] UnHolyTerror , unfortunately i am developing an app using GTK+ so i dont have the luxury of image viewer :( [02:48] I have an issue that is really bugging me. I altered my account in Ubunutu 10.10 to not prompt for a password. Now I can't login unless I go to the shell. [02:48] TheWarden, Merry Christmas to you too! [02:48] daxt_: I did stuff like that back when I hand coded my own Xorg.conf files on Slackware for CRTs ... but I haven't done that in recent versions for LCDs [02:48] I receive the following error message "Could not update ICEauthority file [02:48] s [02:49] daxt_: print this and then try this method - http://paste.ubuntu.com/546908/ [02:49] then I click the button and it shows "There is a problem with the config server /usb/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) [02:50] There must be something I can do to resolve this without having to re-install Ubuntu. It worked slick with no issues prior to me changing my account to not prompt for login password. Hell if I knew how to put it back I would. [02:50] damn gui has gotten me confused [02:50] thanks for all the suggestions everyone [02:50] TheWarden: what did you do to make it not prompt? [02:50] yes I've tried google but so far no luck locating a solution. [02:51] TheWarden: you can login to shell via text console and sudo? [02:51] TheWarden: system >admin > login screen === Animawolf is now known as Animagladius [02:51] Skaperen: it prompt... when you turn on the computer it always prompts for username and password. So I though well this is a media center primarily so lets remove the password. I did this in the GUI and now this problem. [02:52] TheWarden: To re-enable the password that is. [02:52] Skaperen: I login with my account that I set during installation. [02:52] hi rigved , i tried that , but it makes the screen turn off :( [02:52] TheWarden: but you now cannot get into the GUI at all? [02:52] histo: Ahh I do that in the shell prompt? Remember I can't login via the GUI anymore. [02:52] TheWarden: I do not know what the GUI tool for making no password actually did [02:52] Skaperen: correct it just asks for username I press enter and it gives me to errors and then sits there with the wallpaper and nothing else. [02:53] daxt_: that means that your monitor does not support that resolution. try changing the resolution of the image that you want to view [02:53] Skaperen: I wish I know... I just did it under Users and Groups [02:53] TheWarden: what do errors say? [02:53] TheWarden: what did you do under users and groups? [02:53] Skaperen: the ones I posted priviously. let me get them again. [02:53] I receive the following error message "Could not update ICEauthority file [02:53] then I click the button and it shows "There is a problem with the config server /usb/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) [02:54] histo: I set it to not prompt for password [02:54] TheWarden: did you change the uid numbers or anything like that? [02:54] does the ICEauthority message repeat each time you login? [02:54] Skaperen: no [02:54] TheWarden: you can't in there so I'm not quite sure what you did. [02:54] Skaperen: yes [02:54] TheWarden: sounds like some ownership mismatch [02:54] hey, i installed 10.10 64 bit and it is much faster [02:55] TheWarden, try reinstating the password... [02:55] TheWarden: login on text console and see if files are owned by the correct user [02:55] even the beta flash player works fine [02:55] TheWarden: does it prompt for password on text console ... or does it skip password? [02:55] Okay I went to Users and Groups then clicked on Change under password. [02:55] magicianlord, applause! [02:55] UnholyTerror: thanks [02:55] and I checked don't ask for password at login [02:56] Skaperen: yeah that's what I thought but I checked the .ICEauthority file and I have read and write permissions [02:56] TheWarden, try re-instating the password... [02:56] Skaperen: yes it prmopts at the shell for the password. [02:57] TheWarden: and all other files? find /home/username -ls | less [02:57] UnholyTerror: Ahh how do you suggest I do that that would be affected in the GUI? [02:57] TheWarden: well, then somehow you didn't get changed what yough thought was changed, and something else got changed [02:57] Skaperen: yeah I have the rights to them under my home [02:57] * TheWarden sigh [02:57] TheWarden: not just rights ... but OWNERSHIP ??? [02:58] I guess I just re-install then damn it [02:58] TheWarden, wait, you turned off login password but it still asks in the terminal? [02:58] Skaperen: yes I have ownership and group as well [02:58] UnholyTerror: correct [02:58] UnholyTerror: yeah, so it seems he didn't get what he wanted [02:58] TheWarden, hold a sec... [02:59] I shouldn't have done that. I should have left the account and tried it on a new one instead. dumb ass move on my part :| [02:59] TheWarden: I do recommend, if you re-install, that the first user created NOT be the kiosk user ... make a 2nd user for the kiosk function [02:59] hey i just got this laptop. when im pipelining commands how do i type that vertical line that seperates the commands? [02:59] TheWarden: then make that 2nd user be the one with no password prompt [02:59] Skaperen: yeah I know I thought of that but was too late... not my norm way of doing things. [02:59] TheWarden: that way you have a "normal" user to get in with, securely [03:00] Skaperen: yeah.. I guess... just didn't want to go through setting everything back up again argh. [03:00] TheWarden: hehe ... yeah ... doing some new strange thing tends to be a learning experience ... practice makes perfect [03:00] gotta be some damn file that could be corrected but no clue what. Stupid GUIs make ppl dumb :) [03:00] the beta flash player wont play on hulu [03:00] why not. what to fix it [03:01] TheWarden: if I could login as root I might well be able to see the issue and fix it ... but that's not an option here [03:01] TheWarden: if I was in front of your console, that would be an option [03:01] TheWarden, if you type your password does it login (to the termial)? [03:01] dang it... have to pull up the stupid monitor now to hook backup to the system argh oh man I resetup MythTV oh man okay I gotta do more reading this this doesn't happen again. [03:01] can I ask an XChat question here? [03:01] Skaperen: yeah well that would be a little difficult to remote in like that :) [03:02] UnholyTerror: yes [03:02] TheWarden: I always make my first user be "manager" and then make a 2nd user for other things (like my name) [03:02] so i take it nobody can answer it? [03:02] TheWarden, you could try: sudo startx [03:02] Ubuntu 10.10 - newest patch level - whenever I go into Preferences and try and change background color on XChat, it crashes. Seeing this on both Ubuntu 10.10 as well as pinguy [03:02] evening... [03:03] wingnut2626, SHIFT \ [03:03] try UnholyTerror's sudo startx suggestion and see if you get X up and logged in that way [03:03] hi [03:03] I'm new to ubuntu , to install a new software should i look some particular place ( like some repository ) ? [03:03] thanks dude === mike is now known as Guest83473 [03:03] what is script console used for [03:03] wingnut2626, you can't see it on any of the keys? [03:04] Skaperen: yeah smart move :) [03:04] no the thing was the \ key has a vertical line with a space in it. sorry i didnt know it wouldnt present like that when i typed |. Rookie mistake! [03:04] UnholyTerror: okay I'll maybe try that [03:05] Well okay lets see if I get this in Ubuntu.... I could maybe do this if I understand things correctly. [03:05] wingnut2626, duh! ;) [03:05] anyone here knows any mod in #apple? [03:05] Northwoods, Right off the main menu, Ubuntu Software Center. You can also try 'sudo apt-get BLAH' from the terminal [03:05] I'm use to dealing with things in the shell not a GUI [03:05] wingnut2626, as you get older, that little space isn't as visible... [03:06] So there is a root account I would assume so if I logged into that in the shell then deleted the account in question and re-created a new one that should in theory correct the issue? [03:06] TheWarden: me, too ... there apparently are a number of GUI programmers who don't really understand the systems level [03:06] anybody here know C at all? [03:06] Skaperen: well I'm not saying I'm an expert but the damn GUI just confuses the hell out of me. [03:06] stealthc: not enough to help out. [03:06] hey, where should i report a bug in libm library (ubuntu x86_64bit)? its a tan func performance bug "sin/cos" is dam 10 times faster than tan, from what i see other distributions like suse patch it themselfes [03:06] I'm having troubles with pointers and cast [03:06] trying to do something real simple [03:07] TheWarden: I have successfully created new accounts from root, with an empty home directory under their ownership, logging them in from GUI does work [03:07] but keeps coming up with errors because stupid documentation doesn't define what the pointer really is and expects me to figure out how to change from one type to another [03:07] I am sorry I have to ask this here, where can I find a network operator to ask for help? [03:07] so I feel like a dumb ass asking this but since I never setup a root account during Ubuntu install that I know of what would be the password for it? [03:07] TheWarden: but to adhere to channel rules, I will not tell you how (to be root) [03:07] Skaperen: mm interesting [03:07] is there a 64 bit adobe flahs plugin that works with hulu.com? [03:07] TheWarden: if you know how to be root ... you are on your own ... no support here [03:08] magicianlord: flash squared [03:08] !root | TheWarden [03:08] TheWarden: 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 [03:08] Skaperen: oh I see... not sure I understand that being that Root is the administrator and should be used as such. [03:08] magicianlord: experimental one [03:08] magicianlord: let me check and make sure though [03:08] wtf? this channel becomes crazy ...lol [03:08] TheWarden, it's your password. [03:08] i have 10.2 beta, and that doest work on hulu, but does on other sites [03:08] So I have the right driver - nvidia-173. I have used it with compiz before. Now Ubuntu starts in low graphics mode and I have no compiz [03:09] magicianlord: i'm chekcing 10.2 right now. [03:09] UnholyTerror: oh okay [03:09] magicianlord, it's a HULUproblem, not FLASH [03:09] bad conf file setting? [03:09] Ubuntu installs with no access to root ... real root jockeys know ways to change that ... if you can't figure it out, root is no place for you to be [03:09] magicianlord: actually i'm running 10.3 [03:09] mm let me go try this out... have to go to the other computer upstairs :) [03:09] magicianlord: works fine here [03:09] XChat IRC on Ubuntu 10.10 crashes everytime I launch preferences and try and change background color - any ideas out there? [03:09] * Viking667 has to agree with Skaperen, somewhat. [03:09] well I would go to the ##C channel but it doesn't explain how I can register to post on it [03:10] !register [03:10] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [03:10] ...is this a windows channel ? [03:10] Hi. I have changed my password. now I need to change the password for my keyring. How do I do this? [03:10] THAT bit I can help out with... [03:10] actually, nvidia-173 is active. nvidia-current also shows installed [03:10] dzup21: not intended to be [03:10] histo: 10.3 64 bit? where is it [03:11] If I get pulse audio working, jackd doesn't and visa versa. Lucid has not been good for me [03:11] magicianlord: it's no longer on their site it seems let me see if I can find it. [03:11] * Skaperen thinks he'l just go ahead and uninstall sun-java6 and try icedtea6 and see if that plugin works [03:12] magicianlord: I have flash 10.3 d162 right now that i'm running === Guest83473 is now known as noname [03:13] hey [03:13] what is script console in codeblocks used for? [03:13] anyone knows === noname is now known as Guest89079 [03:13] histo: thanks [03:14] magicianlord: still trying to find it. I swear they used to have 64bit links on the labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ page === Guest89079 is now known as creative-mike [03:14] Guest89079, thankyou for changing your nick to something more unique. [03:14] histo: all i found there was 10.2 dated 11/17/10 [03:14] or 11/30 [03:15] Hi. I have changed my password. now I need to change the password for my keyring. How do I do this? [03:15] does anyone know? [03:15] :( [03:15] magicianlord: well i'm showing yeah 11/30/10 but there used to be a 64bit download which is gone at the moment [03:16] histo: adobe is so secretive [03:16] magicianlord: I can upload the one i'm running somewhere hold up [03:16] ok, it's safE? [03:17] Night here.. [03:18] it's night time in Morocco? [03:18] magicianlord: it's just a libflashplayer.so mine appears to be from 11/16/10 [03:18] UnholyTerror: yeah [03:18] hmm ok [03:18] UnholyTerror: probably. [03:18] UnholyTerror: well early morning [03:18] 3:20 or so, I think [03:19] histo: 10.0.45.2? [03:19] it's night time here. [03:19] magicianlord: ? [03:19] mmm, i got a new dosk for my netbook, and i want to increase the disk performance of the luks (encrypted) partitions... is this -c aes-ecb-null -s 128 a good combination? safe and good eprformance? [03:19] is that your version? [03:19] sounds old [03:20] magicianlord: no it's 10.3 d162 [03:20] magicianlord: http://wikisend.com/download/474512/libflashplayer.so [03:20] what are recommended encryption values for a netbook? is a 128 key size safe enough? [03:21] histo, magicianlord: Why not just get it from Adobe's site? o.O [03:21] theadmin: because it's not there anymore [03:21] theadmin: I don't see the 64bit one [03:21] histo: thank you. i'll try it [03:21] theadmin: they only have 10.2 on adobe [03:21] which doesnt work with hulu [03:22] magicianlord: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html there is the official link [03:22] histo: Ah, 64-bit... Sorry. [03:22] theadmin: magicianlord they really were trying to hide that bugger [03:22] ok. what is 'square'? [03:22] HELLO [03:23] luck: No need to caps. Hello. [03:23] is something wrong with it [03:23] magicianlord: its the beta preview 3 of flash [03:23] magicianlord: that's the one i'm using and it works [03:24] ok. thank you. [03:24] bbl [03:25] okay I create a new account and rebooted the system. [03:26] With the new user account I was able to login via the GUI. [03:26] so this is good news. [03:26] before installing a software , what all do i need to know , like dependencies , repository etc , what is all that stuff , sorry i'm new [03:27] TheWarden: It can narrow down the problem to your specific user account, altough I'm unsure what the problem is. [03:27] I guess to make it simpler I could create another account with sudo privileges and I think that's the only difference to replace my broken account that is like the manager account. [03:27] theadmin: ? [03:27] Northwoods: Well, you said you were able to log in to GUI with the new account, meaning old one didn't work [03:27] :) no [03:27] TheWarden: Don't worry, APT will handle that automagically. [03:28] i'm looking to install kvirc on ubuntu [03:28] lotro [03:28] TheWarden: thanks I was to be honest directly this at Skaperen and UnholyTerror to be honest. [03:28] theadmin: APT? Ahh so you are saying that I can just toast my main account that I had issues with it and APT with handle the rest ?? [03:28] TheWarden: I hate GUI programmers ... I went to the Firefox plugin manager ... scrolling down does not scroll down ... instead it picks a plugin at random, jumping around as it goes [03:29] Northwoods: Well, open Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center and search there, OR open Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal and type this in: sudo apt-get install kvirc [03:29] Skaperen: oh man annnonying [03:29] TheWarden: thanks i was to be honestly directly this at sheakspear [03:29] TheWarden: that and neither Java plugin works [03:29] Skaperen: strange [03:29] TheWarden: and this is on a 32-bit install ... which should have the best availability of working stuff [03:29] Northwoods: :-s [03:30] is a key size of size 128 easy to break? [03:30] Skaperen: no kdding [03:30] cablop: No, it's pretty secure. I have my HD encrypted with that keysize. [03:30] cablop: what a wep key? [03:30] cablop, not really on topic here [03:30] TheWarden: ironically, Java works on my desktop at work (10.10 amd64) [03:30] s/Skaperen/Sheakspear [03:30] cablop: And yeah, gotta admit bazhang is right. Please move it to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:31] Northwoods: eh? [03:31] Skaperen: enable the partner repo and install sun-java6-plugin [03:31] (or what was the channel?) [03:31] theadmin: mind answering me ? [03:31] !partner | Skaperen [03:31] Am I right though that the main user account created a Ubuntu install is granted sudo permissions other wise the rest of the account is like any other if just created as a standard account with no added permissions or ownerships? [03:31] Skaperen: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [03:31] bazhang, yes, on topic, i was about to install ubuntu again in my netbook and i want the best combination of security vs performance for it [03:31] histo: BTDT [03:31] histo: that was the first one that didn't work [03:31] Skaperen: I have Java working fine on this system and it's 32-bit :) [03:31] Northwoods: Mind repeating what you said? Mighta skipped it [03:31] histo, not, a key for disk encryption [03:31] theadmin: correct it's part of the admin group is the only thing extra [03:31] cablop: yeah that's fine [03:31] histo: it works. thanks [03:32] TheWarden: yeah it's only addition is part of the admin group [03:32] Oh ops sorry histo I meant those messages towards you too.. didn't mean to excluded you. Thanks for helping. [03:32] theadmin: I want to install kvirc on ubuntu , i'm new , when installing a software , should i look into some repository or something and what are dependencies ? [03:32] theadmin thanks... do you know if choosing this will be ok for a netbook? -c aes-ecb-null -s 128 [03:32] i encountered a failure with ubuntu 10.10 installation, can anybody offer a hand? [03:32] Northwoods: As I said, APT handles dependencies automatically. Open Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center and search for your software there. [03:32] what error shijie [03:32] histo: Firefox is simply not seeing the plugin at all ... it's like this Firefox was coded to ignore all Java plugins (I'm sure it isn't, just explaining the appearance) [03:33] histo: ahh okay so I should be able to just create another account with sudo permissions and apart of the admin group and all should be good. On the other hand in theory one would think I could go into my home directory and delete it all then [03:33] with GT415 [03:33] oh thankyou so much theadmin [03:33] I am using Acer 4741G [03:33] histo: login via the GUI and it should work. [03:33] Northwoods: Dependencies are... okay... it's kinda like... say, to play a CD you'd need a CD-ROM. Thus, CD-ROM is a dependency of a CD. Kinda like that. [03:33] and i just can't install my driver [03:33] histo: so I uninstalled sun-java6-plugin and its friends, and installed icetea6-plugin instead ... still no joy [03:33] TheWarden: yeah you can create another account and just add them to admin group and it would be the same as the install does. [03:33] theadmin: gotcha [03:33] shijie, what driver? [03:33] anyone here know how to use Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool? trying to do a "extract here" menu button for xarchiver but it is not working [03:33] thankyou , i love learning this OS [03:34] its pretty faster than windows [03:34] recommended video driver [03:34] once I did, the computer freeze upon starting [03:34] much much faster, and the 10.10 is really really energy saving [03:34] Northwoods: [03:34] histo: ahh okay perfect but I still have to grant sudo permissions right or does the admin group do that in Ubuntu? [03:34] mantissa, doesn't the xarchiver already do that? [03:35] and there is a message "Unable to detect WMID device" [03:35] I may re-install to 10.04.1 and see if Firefox finds the plugin in that one [03:35] oh this is interesting. so installing nvidia driver from within ubuntu adds a nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf file to modprobe.d directory, banning nouveau. instead of to blacklist.conf. is there a difference between doing it one way vs other? [03:35] nope archive manager does nut not xarchiver [03:35] hi [03:35] and there is a message "Unable to detect WMID device" error [03:35] theadmin: sorry to keep on the topic, but i don't want to keep stuck at this point of the installation [03:35] TheWarden: yeah that's what the admin group is. [03:35] cablop: Well, as I said 128-bit should be pretty secure. [03:36] histo: oh okay, great. Thanks. [03:36] theadmin: if you run visudo you'll see that any one in the admin group gets sudo abilities [03:36] ok, theadmin thanks [03:36] to :hello,and there is a message "Unable to detect WMID device" error [03:36] i tried ubuntu 10.04/10.10, [03:36] histo: Uh... I know about /etc/sudoers :D Why are you telling me that? [03:36] but all encountered this same error [03:37] fileroller i mean for the extract here context menu button but I want to use "extract here" with xarchiver [03:38] i got the custom menu command to appear but running it produces segfault for xarchiver with command xarchiver -x %d %f [03:38] shijie: do a install with a default driver, after that you have three options, install the driver from the repositories through the gui tool for that or grab a driver from the hardware maker or try to find a driver from a third party (probably open source compatble)... is it a nVidia card? [03:38] hello,can anybody help me with "Unable to detect WMID device" error [03:38] ?? [03:38] cablop: where can i learn keyboard shortcuts for things , like switch between different desktops ( 4 of them are avaialble i think ) [03:38] theadmin: sorry wrong person [03:38] TheWarden: i was trying to tell you about visudo if you look above I messaged theadmin by mistake [03:38] yes [03:39] has anyone gotten 2 finger scrolling to work with the magic pad (apple)? Mine's recognized as a tablet, and so doesn't support that when enabled in mouse preferences [03:39] Northwoods, CTRL-ALT-ARROW [03:39] theadmin: where can i learn keyboard shortcuts for things , like switch between different desktops ( 4 of them are avaialble i think ) [03:39] i installed the default driver, it did not work either [03:39] oh sorry [03:39] thanks people [03:39] Northwoods: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. You can see a full list there and even add custom ones. === shishirdwivedi20 is now known as shishir [03:39] when no video driver installed ,the resolution fixed in 800*600 [03:39] hey i need help [03:39] Northwoods: it depends on many many things, like in windows, it depends in what you are running at the same time, but for desktop things you can check the window manager, if you use compiz i recommend you to install the compiz fusion icon and right clic it then go to general and check aaaallll of them... but as a simple rule, ctrl+alt + left|right key do the trick for the workspaces switch [03:40] shijie: what? [03:40] could you tell me why there is a WMID error [03:40] ? [03:40] unable to detect WMID device ERROR [03:40] shijie? is that an nVidia one? [03:40] cablop: should i look for compiz fusion icon in software application center ? [03:40] yes [03:40] i unfortunately removed the shut down icon from panel now the shut down ,restart, lockscreen all of them gone . how can i restore that icon? [03:41] nvidia GT415 [03:41] yep, Northwoods [03:41] besides software applicatin ceenter seems to be little slow [03:41] shijie: what is your problem? [03:41] shijie, before install any nVidia restricted driver it is higfhly recommended to uninstall the nouveau driver that cames by default on ubuntu, i don't remember the package [03:41] shishir, right-click->add to panel [03:42] !nvidia > shijie [03:42] I also encountered a "unable to detect WMID device" error, [03:42] shijie, please see my private message [03:42] it is taking lot of time to download kvirc [03:42] lol [03:42] i just can't fixed it [03:42] !nvidia | shijie [03:42] shijie: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:42] Northwoods: Well, it's most likely a connection issue [03:42] shijie, be careful it is a pretty old howto, but you can find the steps there, in few words, remove the nouveau driver then install the nVidia one [03:43] but,where does the "WMID device" error come from [03:43] Having problems with a 2nd gen ipod nano on maverick. lsusb doesn't show it when it is plugged in, but my ipod does charge. [03:43] UnholyTerror i did that but individual options are coming i want previous list type option in which when i click to option whole list comes showing all options [03:43] ok,i will try [03:43] Northwoods, Software Center is just a different front end to the same package installation programs. [03:43] but,where does the "WMID device" error come from? [03:43] I just can't explain that [03:44] Northwoods: i use chatzilla... i like it because it is the same tool for win and linux and i can hold a copy on my portableapps collection :P [03:44] theadmin: but i have 1 mbps line , i hope the file size is not too large , because it installed only 14% [03:44] shijie, that error can come from a multitude of sources... [03:44] portableapps collection , what is that cablop ? [03:44] shishir, right-click->add to panel->Shut down [03:44] do you mean you carry over some apps from one os to another ? [03:45] okay I have another problem that is driving me nuts with Ubuntu in the X Window [03:45] Northwoods: yeah it's apps you put on a usb drive that are portable. They even work well under wine in linux [03:45] TheWarden: what's that? [03:46] Northwoods: Well, that's actually more like 28% cause it only downloads till 50%, then it starts installing. [03:46] Northwoods: it is a collection of portable applications for USB, they don't modify nor write on the computer you use them... combined with a portable truecrypt you can have a safe set of applications to use on windows in any computer... they're mainly open source... no moe on the topic, cause it is OT, but in few words it is a prettty nice complement for any linux geek forced to live in windows [03:46] histo: do we have to create some pacakage or what , where can i read about it ? [03:46] One has I believe 4 virtual desktops created. Now each desktop is a viewing area that can be the resolution set or beyond your resolution. Does this make sense before I continue? [03:46] unholyterror i did that and option is visible on panel but i want one icon which contains all the option like shutdown ,restart , lockscreen just like previously how can i do so ? [03:46] cablop: thanks [03:46] when I say viewing area I'm not talking about the monitor resolution. [03:47] view area or desktop size not sure what the proper term is [03:48] shishir, right-click->add to panel->Indicator Applet [03:48] If that makes sense, I'll continue the viewing area or desktop size for some reason is beyond the size of the monitor resolution. how do I make them the same? Keep in mind in my case here I'm using a CRT TV as my monitor. [03:48] many acer 4741G nvidia GT415M users encountered this problem, it might be a kernel bug [03:48] shishir, right-click->add to panel->Indicator Applet session [03:49] unholyterror done thanx [03:49] TheWarden: try in system>Preferences>onitors to check the best settiongs for your screen resolution and configuration [03:50] shijie i forgot to tell you, check if you have the proper linux headers for your current kernel, some drivers seems unaware to check for them [03:50] cablop: I can't do that as I'm using the NVIDIA drivers. Also I'm in no way referring to the resolution size the monitor is using. [03:50] Northwoods: google portable apps [03:50] Having problems with a 2nd gen ipod nano on maverick. it doesn't show up when plugged in and lsusb doesn't show it either, but my ipod does charge. Tried all 3 usb ports on my laptop (even though lsusb shows that I have 8 busses (?), with bus one having 2 devices, one being my built in card reader) [03:50] ok [03:50] thanks [03:50] TheWarden: i used the driver from the nvidia website and i can use that tool for that [03:51] One can have a monitor resolution and then a separate dimensions of each virtual desktop viewing area. [03:51] shijie, also install the dkms package [03:51] ok [03:51] cablop: well I can't it says I have to use the NVIDIA tool as I'm not using a regular monitor its a CRT TV. Why it says I can't I do not know. [03:52] TheWarden: ah! mmm but in my opinion, first check if you can play with the monitor via that tool, in that way you check that your linux and the monitor are understanding each other [03:52] argh so hard to explain when some many people don't do this anymore. It can be handle to have the viewing area bigger but in this case its a pain cause you can't see the mouse. [03:52] after that, then go and enable or install the nvidia-settings tool [03:52] ok [03:53] I have ./folder saved in my home drive [03:53] how do i get to it and copy something from it? [03:53] cablop: well I've looked in there and all there is a monitor resolution setting. Nothing more that refers to size of virtual desktop/viewing area. [03:54] cablop: I can't let me get the message it tells me when I try to use the monitors. Plus even if I do use that tool it doesn't provide what I'm talking about. It again only allows one to set the monitor resolution used. [03:54] hi,cablop, I just wonder what if I install early versions,just like 9.10/9.04,see if it works without WMID error [03:54] TheWarden: mmm i get the point... but... isn't an odd combination a CRT TV with an accelerated graphics video card?... :) [03:54] shijie: i saw a fix for that earlier [03:55] My computer was a lot faster running Arch with KDE, but I don't know why [03:55] what u mean [03:55] balt11t: arch is faster [03:55] earlier versions [03:55] Senix, a fodler with a '.' as a prefix is considered hidden you can use the sortcut ctrl+h to reveal it [03:55] shijie many many many things changed from 10.04, this is why, once you find the new way you'll be happy with ubuntu again :) [03:55] balt11t: Well, duh, Ubuntu is slower. [03:55] magicianlord: drastically though [03:55] or there is a earlier solution [03:55] I have 4gb of RAM [03:55] dotblank, thanks [03:55] balt11t: because ubuntu has lots of modules it installs that make it crawl [03:55] and I'm barely pulling minecraft off [03:56] you mean 9.10 doesn't have a problem like that,right? [03:56] i run arch on my netbooks [03:56] Maybe it's because I'm doing a huge sysupgrade too [03:56] * theadmin runs OpenSuSE and is happy with it [03:56] and 10.04 getchanged but some new bugs jumped out [03:56] balt11t: maybe. no computer janitor? [03:56] shijie, dunno, i didn't used 9.10... for me 9.10 seems to be a transition between 8.x-9x to 10.x [03:57] what is the firefox addon for viewing compatibility with I.E. , like virtually render page like I.E.8 [03:57] magicianlord, modules get auto-detected (I thought) usually.. at least thats what I thought.. it may be the mdoule built into the kernel that slows it down [03:57] balt11t: also, i partition sometimes into multiple areas, which makes things faster [03:57] ok,i will try. [03:57] cablop: like if we want to see the page in I.E. [03:57] dtownhero: not sure [03:57] thanks anyway,to cablop & magicianlord [03:58] i am newbie, so i am unfamiliar with linux.. [03:58] Northwoods: no way to do that... sadly, maybe you mean the IETab but you need a real IE in your system making it only suitable for windows and certain macs... grab a virtualbox (or anything like that) and run windows on it for those tests [03:58] computer janitor? [03:58] Northwoods: Or run IE trough WINE. [03:59] cablop: yes okay here is the message [03:59] mmm shijie, then... ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 are much much easier than 9.04 and earlier... sadly for that bug [03:59] theadmin: WINE ? [03:59] Northwoods: It's a thing to run Windows programs. See http://winehq.org [03:59] !wine [03:59] 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 [03:59] VB is so easy, just need a few gigs of space [03:59] magicianlord: is arch notably faster than ubuntu on a netbook? [03:59] theadmin: Northwoods but to trun IE8 in WINE is a hadra task... isn't it? [03:59] cablop: when I run "Monitors" I receive this message, "It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? [03:59] ops end quote :) [04:00] Northwoods: are u wondering about "useragent switcher"? ...it makes the website believe you are running another browser! [04:00] TheWarden: oh! never saw that before... then install the nvidia tool for that, i just used it once [04:00] TheWarden, see if you can run the command xrandr [04:00] bonjoyee: My purpose is to test/veiw site in I.E. , because clients ask for it [04:00] cablop: Like I was saying I checked again and there is no way to change the setting I'm referring to in Monitors anyways. It only has monitor resolution nothing much more then that. [04:01] cablop: I have it installed and that doesn't have what I'm talking about either :( [04:01] You may be able to manipulate the screen with that providing your driver has a working randr implementation [04:01] Northwoods: then...vbox or wine are your best options!! [04:01] Northwoods: then use a real windows, in another pc or a virtual machine and install IETester or IECollection, this is the safest one, because you need to use the IE engine [04:01] dotblank: I can and I have to actually setup my S-Video [04:01] TheWarden, What gfx card do you have? [04:01] maybe what I'm looking for is only in the xorg.conf file... mm [04:02] dotblank: it's a PNY Verto GeForce 6200 AGP [04:02] TheWarden, ok have you tried using nvidia's config tool? [04:02] nvidia-settings [04:02] doyou cablop or dotblank no what I'm referring to (not monitor resolution)? [04:02] TheWarden: you are right, virtual size desktop is a pretty old feature i see years ago... in fact in the last century, xD [04:02] dotblank: yes no option in there to do what I'm talking about. [04:03] Now we're in business [04:03] chris_osx: yes [04:03] TheWarden, sounds like you are going to have to play around with the xconfig [04:03] chris_osx: with openbox and fstab tweaking [04:03] cablop: well lol that is what I'm talking about... the size of it is bigger then my monitor [04:03] Question: Does any Ubuntu user here perfer Ubuntu over Apple? [04:03] TheWarden: afaik it was in the xserver previous to xorg... i forgtot the name... sigh [04:03] I mean Apple O/s [04:03] TheWarden, ah.. its because your set size is larger then the svideo resolution [04:03] Xintruder: yes [04:04] dotblank: yeah I'll look again but I have no idea what its called.. hell I'm not even sure I have you or cablop convinced of what I'm talking about :) [04:04] Xintruder, offtopic here [04:04] which I belive is limited to standard def [04:04] #ubuntu-offtopic for that Xintruder [04:04] thx [04:04] TheWarden, do you want your monitor to scale instead of scrool? [04:04] scroll [04:04] dotblank: actually no that is not true as s-video is designed to handle 800x600 and my monitor resolution is set to that already. [04:04] Is there a command that lists the names of all available displays? [04:05] TheWarden: let me think... suppose you have a monitor capable to only 640x480 resolution but yuou use 1024x768 on it and whn you push the pointer to the edge of the screen it "scrolls" to that portion of sesktop... right? [04:05] s-video can handoe 800x600? [04:05] handle [04:05] Random832: yes [04:05] My microphone just stopped working in ubuntu (was using my webcam mic, but neither it nor my line in mic will work now) [04:05] TheWarden, hmm really.. ok well the nvidia driver may not support that and thats why it may be forcing the scroll.. perhaps you could look at the edid information or what resolution the nvidia card "thinks" the max res is [04:06] dotblank: well yes but this goes WAY beyond my screen. I can make the mouse or even windows disappear yet be visible in my virtual desktop area in the bottom right hand corner. [04:06] 奇怪了,用pidgon连不上irc用xchat就连上了 [04:06] !zh lei__ [04:06] lei__, #ubuntu-cn for Chinese [04:06] dotblank: also to be clear there is no scrolling. [04:06] !zh | lei__ [04:06] lei__: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:06] lei__: This channel is English. [04:06] the tv out on pc's can down convert higher res to what the tv can handle. but i do think svideo is 800x600 max. been a whild since i last messed with it [04:06] Well it may be that svideo can handle it but what does the nvidia driver handle [04:07] lei__: try sunpinyin and ibus-sunpinyin [04:07] Dr_Willis: yes you are correct. I've looked into the standard already and it is 800x600. [04:07] It's my virtual desktop or viewing area of the desktop that is larger then 800x600 [04:07] lei__: also install ibus-qt4 === collin is now known as Guest11246 [04:08] TheWarden, ok.

[04:08] what's the difference between xorg 1.7.6 in 10.04 and 1.9 in 10.10 [04:10] any1 here tried to install vbox on Jaunty 9.04 recently? [04:10] it appears busted [04:10] http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10279765#post10279765 [04:10] My system tells my it is running Natty. Some repositories I would like to use only go up to Lucid. [04:10] theres a lot of updates to input devices and things in 1.9 i recall magicianlord - touchpad/touchscreen support was a big area of devlopment [04:10] So when I add the line to my sources [04:11] AegNuddel: natty is in 'testing' stages; so thats not supruiseing. using differnet version repos .. is not a good idea [04:11] AegNuddel: have you tried just keeping the "Lucid" entry for your source entries? [04:11] (it might not be a "good idea", but sometimes it will work) [04:11] I haven't tried anything yet [04:11] so just keep it [04:11] ok [04:11] i.e. if you have repos that aren't up-to-date with the latest rel of ubuntu, i've had success leaving the older entries [04:11] Dr_Willis: so xorg is not just about window placement. its for input devices [04:11] anyone sugest a decent p4 based laptop? [04:12] It was weird. I didn't update on purpose [04:12] p4? [04:12] at all [04:12] magicianlord: right you window manager handles placement [04:12] magicianlord: Xorg is the 'foundataion' for the whole GUI. the 'window manager' runs on top of Xorg. that handles the windows decorations and 'functions' [04:12] AegNuddel: what do you mean? -- oh it upgraded distro and you didn't expect it? [04:12] anyone know how to fix the "my mouse buttons 6 and 7 no longer work" problem? [04:12] sigh... my partition got stuck, had to restart instal :( [04:12] yes [04:12] Having problems with a 2nd gen ipod nano on maverick. it doesn't show up when plugged in and lsusb doesn't show it either, but my ipod does charge. Tried all 3 usb ports on my laptop (even though lsusb shows that I have 8 busses (?), with bus one having 2 devices, one being my built in card reader) [04:12] unfortunte... that shouldn't happen [04:12] AegNuddel: you somehow set it to updage to the next release. and it did so. [04:12] it's in the update manager settings [04:13] (in there, you can configure if it will prompt for updating distro or not) [04:13] should i upgrade to maverick? i use lynx and everything runs fine. are there big improvements in maverick? [04:13] !ipod | Spaztic_One [04:13] Spaztic_One: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [04:13] it seems to work fine. I was testing some other features that I could not otherwise get [04:13] hei all, my mouse buttons 6 and 7 stopped working in opera today, anyone know a fix? [04:13] Spaztic_One, does dmesg show anything when plugged in? [04:13] has anyone tried combining ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu desktop systems all on one machine? I'm curious what methods it has to allow users to choose which type of desktop [04:13] yeah in there it's called "Release Updates" [04:14] Skaperen, you mean multi-boot? [04:14] Skaperen, sure [04:14] Skaperen, very possible.. you can install packages and WM from either [04:14] callaghan: nope [04:14] Skaperen, all the -desktop [04:14] dotblank: I know I can ... I haven't yet because I want some better idea of what will happen before I do [04:14] Skaperen, yes [04:14] Skaperen, choose from login window [04:14] I've tried ubuntu + kubuntu [04:14] anyone know how to fix my mouse issue?? buttons 6 7 (middle click left and right) quit working [04:15] I wodner what login manager he would get though [04:15] dotblank: Well unfortunately I have to go. I'll post it soon to see if one can resolve this issue of mine. Thanks so much for your help. [04:15] But not 3 [04:15] wonder* [04:15] bazhang: so at the login window it will have all the desktops to choose from? [04:15] dotblank: He'd get to select during the install. [04:15] cablop: thanks for your help too [04:15] Skaperen: the login manager lets you select what desktop to use - it all works. but it can cause some odd quirks/issues. like lots of redundant menu items, or other extra programs you may not need. [04:15] also pulse/phonon may act odd [04:15] i have been looking at like a Compaq V2000 [04:15] Merry Christmas and take care all. ttyl [04:15] dotblank: dmesg shows a lot of stuff. I glanced through it and nothing jumped out at me [04:16] Skaperen, the most obvious thing you will notice is all the menus get full of all the programs from all the desktops. [04:16] Skaperen: and some times with gnome/xfce/kde - some default file applicaitons can get running for example the kde app. when in gnome. which may not be what you want [04:16] ok! merry Xmas to you too [04:16] Spaztic_One, do dmesg | tail [04:16] Dr_Willis: that happens if you switch between on a user logging in? Or even if a single user stays with one desktop always? [04:16] Spaztic_One, before and after you plug it in [04:16] Skaperen, but you can edit the menus to show just what you want, anyway. [04:16] Is there teamspeak 3 for ubuntu [04:16] Question: i just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my mac (ppc) and it wouldnt install for a while, until finally i tried putting in "live video=ofonly" at the boot screen and it worked all good. the only problem is that everything is tinted blue. how do i solve this? [04:16] the one in the repositoris is TS2 [04:17] dotblank: they are identical [04:17] Spaztic_One, try a different usb port [04:17] Hello [04:17] Skaperen: gdm has a menu to select.. thats it... switch or not .. all you want [04:17] Spaztic_One, like on the back [04:17] Could someone help me get my internal mic running? [04:17] me too [04:18] could someone help me correct my mouse issue? minor annoyance [04:18] dotblank: tried all 3 that my laptop has, none resulted in a new message [04:18] Spaztic_One, does it work on any other OS/s or have you tried completely restarting your ipod and computer./ [04:18] collin_: tried alsamixer? [04:19] UnholyTerror: one thing I was thinking of trying to do, which I have not seen anyone do, yet, is have 3 linux/lxc containers, one for each of ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu, and (figure out how to) rig up a way to get a logging in user placed into the appropriate container (which X and the login prompt are in the main system) [04:19] !alsamixer | collin_ [04:19] whats alsa mixer [04:19] !alsamixer [04:19] UnholyTerror: that way users have a choice, but will see a system that has "only" their choice [04:19] hmm [04:19] I have tried alsa mixer [04:20] I dont belive alsa will solve my problem [04:20] Im thinking oss [04:20] dotblank: Haven't tried it on any other computer yet. my sister gave me her old one and she hadn't used it in ages (since she got her droid phone). Also, haven't restarted my computer, and don't know how to restart an ipod [04:20] collin_, what is your pulseaudio profile? [04:20] Is it possible to install windows after ubuntu? [04:20] in sound preferences [04:20] collin_: right click on the volume icon and go to sound preferences. Then go to the input tab. and change hte mic [04:20] Skaperen, um, it should default to whatever they pick the first time. I do believe. They won't need to choose everytime. [04:20] balt11t: yes anything is possible. [04:20] balt11t: yes ... let's hope windows will cooperate and not take out ubuntu [04:20] Balt11t: yep [04:21] balt11t: just be prepaired that windows will blow out your mbr. You'll have to boot a ubuntu cd later and reinstall grub [04:21] I no longer have alsa. Im using oss so I dont have sound pref [04:21] collin_, you may also need to check the hardware tab as well and select the correct profile [04:21] kk [04:21] collin_, hmm don't know oss [04:21] so... [04:21] UnholyTerror: default is good ... I'd just want to avoid the issue of some app setting itself up in conflict when different logins have different choices [04:22] dotblank , Have you had a mic problem before? [04:22] collin_, well I've had misconfiguration issues.. I use a lot of digital audio too though [04:22] UnholyTerror: what I did in the past when Slackware had both Gnome and KDE, was different users for different desktops, but with the same uid number [04:22] collin_, I also use jack [04:23] can anyone help me? i have a small annoyance. My middle mouse button won't do back or forward anymore [04:23] dotblank ,Ok well I have searched many forums and most say that using alsa wont be able to solve my problem [04:23] UnholyTerror: hopefully Ubuntu will have no issue with 2 or 3 users having the same uid number [04:23] Skaperen, i'm not sure what you mean... the uid doesn't change based on wich desktop you log into. [04:24] :O [04:24] Skaperen, you have absolutely lost me. [04:24] net split :( [04:24] the scow storm has killed the eastern seeboard [04:24] UnholyTerror: I know that ... the different userNAME's ... and hence different HOMEs, was my first hack under Slackware in the past [04:24] snow* [04:24] Skaperen, you can specify a custom home for users [04:24] sno storm? [04:24] doesn't have to be by username [04:24] * rinku_kokiri looks outside [04:24] Skaperen: what are you trying to do? [04:25] hrm... [04:25] rinku_kokiri, where are you located? [04:25] Skaperen, I just don't understand why you need to do that. [04:25] UnholyTerror: the hack in the past was like: login as "userg" and get Gnome, or login as "userk" and get KDE ... where the ${HOME} directories were different ... but the uid numbers were the same so that user could access files between userg and userk very simply [04:26] cablop: get ubuntu and kubuntu and xubuntu working so a user can login under any one of them and have it work smoothly [04:26] Skaperen, afaik uuid's are unique names given to your hd's [04:26] Skaperen, you could just let gdm handle the sessions... you can set a default one [04:26] How do I configure a mic in Ubuntu [04:26] Skaperen, ok, but why make it so hard? [04:26] also you can have default sessions differening between users [04:26] rs0832: there is a user name AND a user id NUMBER ... the number controls the actual file permissions in the kernel [04:27] then you can set the group to be owned by the right users [04:27] michigan [04:27] not eastern seaboard [04:27] but waterboard :D [04:27] UnholyTerror: no reason to make it harder ... unless it makes the user experience smoother [04:27] Skaperen, well its a hack and I would advise against that [04:27] Skaperen, yes i know that [04:27] Skaperen: and login on many of them at the same time? [04:27] dotblank: so how would you do it w/o the hack? [04:28] Skaperen, ok, I don't get why you need to split the /home(s), yet allow access to both? [04:28] cablop: on different instances of X, sure [04:28] Skaperen, well I still think im missing the point [04:28] dotblank, yes... [04:28] me too [04:29] Is this just a hack thing for geekyness sake or something practical? [04:29] Skaperen, all the desktops will access the same /home(s)... how much smoother can it get? [04:29] it was possible in the past, even running the same desktop twice otr more with same user... but that's in older ubuntus [04:29] UnholyTerror: I don't need to split homes ... it was just how I choose to do it long ago ... OTOH, split homes MAY keep certain apps less confused (e.g. a KDE app, running under a Gnome choice, might see the KDE config files present and get confused) [04:29] nowadays this is not recommended because desktops use their own daemons and they can override what the other desktop is doing... [04:29] not to mention inter user dbus.... [04:30] and all sorts of security stuff [04:30] Skaperen, you're assuming... [04:30] Skaperen, hmm.. i didnt know that.. can you give me an example of the uuid you are talking about? [04:30] and the daemosn that manage things like wireless, battery, bluetooth, disks... [04:30] UnholyTerror: I'm exploring all possible pitfalls ... that's part of what planning is [04:31] Skaperen, are they going to run those desktops in the same machine? [04:31] I guess you could start a single x device and have different screens run different window managers.. but that would all work as the same user [04:31] or in remote clients? [04:31] Skaperen, a KDE app will use it's own configs, if there is a GNOME equivalent then why couldn't it read the same config? [04:31] rs0832: uuid is not a part of that ... the uid number from /etc/passwd (also gid) are loaded into the process info by the login program (which runs as root briefly to set up the user, then switches things to be that user) [04:31] What do u think of ubuntu dvd? Whats more in it? [04:32] guys do you know web developer tool bar which has an option to choose higher resolutions than the one you have in your monitor within the firefox browser frame ? [04:32] royale1223, language packs [04:32] rs0832: the kernel uses the NUMBER ... the NAME is in the environment [04:32] royale1223: the alternate installer a few more packages and ore languages [04:32] Language packs only? [04:32] daxt, I see what you're after now... dunno though. [04:32] Kk [04:32] royale1223: not only, a few more software and an alternate installer [04:33] Do u guys knw how i cud get a dvd with extra packages? [04:33] UnholyTorror , now you got me , that is the kind of functionality i am looking for Gnome [04:33] rs0832: basically, I had 2 user names in which a syscall to getuid() or geteuid() would return the same number for either [04:33] Skaperen: remote sessions or just local sessions? [04:33] UnholyTerror - won't it be a useful functionality for many apps ? [04:33] Skaperen, ok. then you log into with the gdm and depending on the user provides a different wm? [04:33] Skaperen, yes i know all that... well, i guess i misunderstood your first statement .. thanks anyway for the explanation :) [04:34] Okay, I can NOT get my mic working [04:34] cablop: either ... but definitely different instances of X if there is concurrent login ... but note that concurrent login is NOT a need [04:34] I honestly had the same problem in Arch too [04:34] Skaperen, you could modify the login script before it creates the screen to set up everything on login [04:35] rs0832: basically that hack of years ago under Slackware was making to usernames, separate homes, shared UID number so files could be accessed under either user [04:35] Skaperen: i think you can chroot them then, or use VMs for that [04:35] Skaperen: I'm not committed to separate home directories ... if it can easily be done w/o doing that, that's better [04:36] it really doesn't have to be separate users [04:36] cablop: for the container based scheme? sure, that would be about how to do it [04:36] Skaperen, talking to yourself now?;) [04:36] must be the eggnog [04:36] UnholyTerror: yeah, apparently :) ... stupid autocompletes [04:37] ;) === Fraxtil is now known as Fraxtil` [04:37] So I got the humble indie bundle.. Anyone notice framerate issues with cortex-command? [04:37] Skaperen, not thinking as engineer or technician... but as designer, is the case that your users will use different desktops at the same time a very frequent scenario? [04:37] UnholyTerror: I doubt I ever get around to writing a better IRC client ... damn, there are so many of those, anyway ... sans the "better" part [04:37] Skaperen, at least it won't cost you anything but time to figure it out. [04:37] woops [04:38] cablop: I don't expect a need to concurrently be logged in under 2 or 3 desktop types on the same machine at the same time ... the needs is only for switching [04:38] Skaperen: if that's not a very common scenario, then just install the three desktops enable remote access and tell your users they must be careful while using the desktops in multiple computers|sessions at the same time [04:39] cablop: but if concurrency can work, great === jpds is now known as Guest12343 [04:39] Skaperen: clarify your ussage needs. :) [04:40] * Dr_Willis is baking a cake so is missing half the conversations... good thing for history buffers. [04:40] cablop: but the thing I expect might be trouble is some Gnome app, having been run under Gnome before, now runs under KDE, and has problems because it's expecting Gnome ... and visa-versa [04:40] to switch in ubuntu is really easy nowadays and each user can have her own default desktop, it is not really common that somebody would use two different desktops, current;y they're so different that users are not comfortable using many of them [04:40] Skaperen: running kde apps under gnome, or visa versa are rarely a issue. [04:40] Skaperen, I haven't seen that happen. [04:40] Skaperen: now a few years back.. it had somw issues.. but now a days. rarely a problem [04:41] Dr_Willis: I want users to be able to login under any desktop type: Gnome, KDE, Xfce, or any other, and have it all work as well as if it were a single desktop type machine [04:41] Skaperen, I have GNOME, XFCE, and KDE and have not seen any interoperability issues. [04:41] Skaperen: yes.. thats how it works now.. select the desktop under the Login Screen. [04:41] Skaperen: so you are worring about nothing. [04:41] Dr_Willis: yes, I know the apps works OK crossed over ... BUT ... can they also work just as well when crossing back and forth within the same user? [04:41] Skaperen: yep, not an issue nowadays, just care to install some extra packages, like ibus-qt4 for example, because ubuntu believes ibus-gtk is enough... but this is a very specific problem [04:41] Skaperen: the gnome and kde menus however WILL show the gnome and kde apps.. [04:42] Skaperen: mixx and match kde and gnome apps.. no issues here. [04:42] Skaperen: best answer.. go DO it and see if it works === Fraxtil` is now known as Fraxtil [04:43] Dr_Willis: it's different if I log in under Gnome, and a Gnome app initializes itself as under Gnome ... then I logout and log back in under KDE ... THAT is much different than running that app on Kununtu where it initialized under KDE [04:43] Skaperen, Yeah, you are doing a good job of talking yourself out of it :) [04:43] Skaperen, and one suggestion, you seems to face a very complex setup, maybe because your number of users, in that case i suggest you oone thing, go install a server and use thinclients for them, that reduces you the software configuration to just one computer [04:43] Skaperen: its not really an issue. [04:43] Dr_Willis: yes, that is the answer (go do it) ... if no one else has done it yet to share the expierence ... I'm checking first [04:43] Skaperen: if a gnome app needs some gnome service going.. it will start them.. same for kde apps. [04:43] Skaperen: im runnign kde and gnome here.. i log into eitehr one.. never had issues. [04:43] UnholyTerror: oh ... I didn't realize that :) [04:44] Skaperen, A program doesn't initialize itself as GNOME or KDE, it's the libraries they use. [04:44] I always run k3b on gnome all the time.. and on KDE i normally run 'terminator' all the time. or gimp [04:44] Skaperen, rarely an issue, few people move from one desktop to another, for them create a second account able to read write what the other account can, just that [04:44] Skaperen: now say 5 yrs ago.. there WOULD have been some issues to watch out for. but now a days.. not any problems that vie seen [04:45] cablop: basically, I'm giving users a choice of desktop ... but they always ask "which is better" ... I want to answer "try them all and judge for yourself" ... without the having tried causing issues [04:45] Skaperen, You are thinking gedit is going to complain about being run while in KDE... [04:45] Skaperen, You are trying to reinvent the wheel... [04:46] skaperen, don't worry, people that is exploring desktops barely start to configure things sooooo deeply enough to have issues moving from one to another that cannot be solved [04:46] user tries Gnome ... then tries KDE ... prefers KDE ... but some KDE app doesn't quite work right because it was "born" (first run for that user) under Gnome ... that's what I want to be sure cannot happen for any app of any desktop type [04:46] you underestimate newbies :) [04:47] Only issue ive seen with using kde and gnome both (or with xfce) is that some times like xfce and gnome are actually 'closely related' so they use the same settings - so changeing a setting in gnome. can also change it in xfce. [04:47] strange thing seems to have happened. my password does not seem to work in terminal, but does in gnome apps (like synaptic) [04:47] Skaperen: its not a problem. [04:47] UnholyTerror: yes, I prefer rounder wheels :) [04:47] Skaperen: woorse case.. you remove the users gnome settings totally... [04:47] Skaperen, People who use OpenOffice under GNOME will still use OpenOffice under KDE... it won't do anything different. [04:47] Barridus, for sudo? [04:48] rs0832, yes [04:48] Doinkle: not underestimating... just pointing newbies will cause more problems in other related areas [04:48] sudo commands keep kicking my password out, but it works fine in gksu stuff like synaptic [04:48] Barridus, does not authenticate? [04:48] UnholyTerror,Dr_Willis: so basically ... the wheel is about as round as it gets (?) [04:48] [sudo] password for ryan: [04:48] Sorry, try again. [04:49] how can i test the surface of a disk in ubuntu? [04:49] can't do things like mount or whatever else i normally do in terminal [04:49] a dumb question, 64-bit ubuntu 10.04.1 is not the recommended release, does tthat mean it's less reliable comparing to 32-bit? [04:49] cablop: write on it? [04:49] i think i have problems with a disk or maybe the IDE cable, but dunno how to test what is [04:49] Skaperen, It's as close to round as you can get. [04:50] cablop: you have done the usual "remove and re-install cable connections" ? [04:50] cablop, what is the problem? [04:50] xxiao, 10.04.1 is the long term support ubuntu, so technically it should be the *most* reliable. perhaps the issue is that 64-bit typically doesn't have as many things for it as 32 [04:50] xxiao: its idiot proofing in the 'web sites' - 32bit will run on anything.. if you know enought to ask about 32 or 64bit.. then you can handle 64bit [04:50] <[thor]> cablop: System > Administration > Disk Utility [04:50] i tried many times to format partitions but the installer says some block errors or device errors or i/o errors came from nowhere [04:51] xxiao: if you have 64bit hardware. i reccomend using 64bit os. [04:51] now i see the disk has "no" smart support, but afaik it has! [04:51] Dr_Willis: i used to have 32-bit, but now android needs 64-bit host OS [04:51] cablop, System->Administration->Disk Utility has alot of info for you. [04:51] the more you idiot-proof anything, the more the idiots adapt [04:51] Dr_Willis: that means I need upgrade, but...ubuntu 64bit has amd64 on the name, hope it has no issues with intel 64bit chips(core2duo) [04:51] UnholyTerror: yep, i went there, but for my surprise it says no smart info available... o.O [04:51] 64 bit is actually the real recommended version. Ubuntu eventually wants to get everyone running it. Its just alot of older computers dont have processors capible of running it [04:52] ah! sigh, i thing the disk is connected through a cable that has one wire broken, haha [04:52] cablop, is it set in BIOS? [04:52] collin_: like netbooks [04:52] Skaperen, very astute :) [04:52] UnholyTerror: yes it is set there [04:52] * Skaperen would love to run 64-bit on his ASUS EeePCs [04:53] Skaperen: if tyou want a system for newbies then please, don't give them Kubuntu as an option [04:53] does it normally take a few minutes to change your password in the user settings? [04:53] it has TOOOOOOOOOOO many options for them to deal with [04:53] Skaperen ,lol you can actually do alot with that little computer though. My bro uses it and gets some pretty good fps on his hard to run games [04:54] !manual [04:54] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [04:54] cablop: they are not actually newbies ... but they may be new to the latest version of Gnome, KDE, etc ... and most will already have a preference, anyway (why I need to put them all in) [04:54] cablop: if there new to linux how will they know there is too many options in KDE [04:54] i tried to change my password to correct some weirdness i was having with it in sudo, the user settings change password window is grey and gives the "wait" mouse cursor. has something gone wrong? [04:55] cablop: and even I have switched around before ... KDE, then Gnome, then KDE, now back to Gnome [04:55] how do i specify in ufw to allow connections to port 6543 to only two specific ips in one rule? [04:55] cablop: with some others before that, even [04:55] BIOS is good, i386 is faster, and x64 is better, and ASUS is also good from experience. LXDE and JVM are simple GUI options. (I can not keep up with everyone....) [04:55] rats_: i tested at home, they prefered gnome and ask me for help... KDE settings are very complex for them, they say it has more to configure than windows and they come lost so fast [04:55] should i force quit this change password dialog? [04:56] sweating bullets here... [04:56] Barridus, yes force quit it.. i don;t think you have a choice [04:56] cablop: we're going to be hiring programmers faster and faster at work over the next couple years, and the boss is wanting to have computers pre-installed for them (current method is give new people an empty machine and some ISOs) [04:56] Well, when dealing with faulty drivers, I hate Ubuntu. [04:56] Skaperen: change password via terminal -> sudo passwd username [04:57] oh wait wrong nick. :) [04:57] Barridus: : change password via terminal -> sudo passwd username [04:57] Dr_Willis: heh ... just as long as username != root [04:57] uswe r00t :) [04:57] i'll try, for some reason sudo kicks back my password [04:57] but it works in gnome apps when it asks [04:57] Skaperen: ages ago there was a bug in the installer tha tlet people name the first user 'root' [04:58] Barridus, try creating a new user with priv's and then sudo in that users a/c [04:58] nope, kicked it back [04:58] Dr_Willis: I remember that ... I didn't call it a bug back then :) [04:58] it was a feature [04:58] rs0832, yeah i was considering that option [04:58] i'll try this one last time and see [04:59] Skaperen: mmmmm curious thing... well, the server with thin clients was nice when we used that at university, we could use either one desktop or the other, and we were able to sit at any computer each day keeping same settings, but the hard part is to secure the server [04:59] I'm getting a Droid phone, and on Ubuntu, chould there be any problems when trying to import and export data? === anto is now known as weedo [04:59] cablop: I may also do some "deskless" (really has a disk, but not run the OS on it) network booting, too [05:00] s/deskless/diskless/ :) [05:00] n0a1ias: dunno, but some people got dissapointed because you can't barely find a pure droid phone, licese allowed them tyo close the code and you got in a jailed phone.... try a nokia n900 instead :P :) [05:01] if i wanted to install Debian Sqeeze and Ubuntu Lucid on the same machine, then which partitions can be shared by them? /boot, /home, /tmp, /usr, /srv, /opt, /usr/local [05:01] ok that failed, trying that option rs0832 [05:01] Skaperen: i love that config... you can perform some daily or weekly backups of it for just one machien, but you really do need a powerful server for that if you were planning to use that for development [05:01] * Skaperen would prefer to get a phone with no OS already on it, and install the OS he builds first (as opposed to replacing an OS or even hacking the bootloaders) [05:01] rigved Im sure home can be shared [05:02] Skaperen, I'm installing xubuntu on one of my vm's right now... gonna check something out. [05:02] Skaperen: a n900 has linux on it, no reason to build it from scratch, justr use and tweak it [05:02] collin_: ok. thanx. what about the other partitions? [05:02] cablop: my idea was to just run the diskless machines with everything in RAM ... so no NFS mount to the server to run the OS (users might have that for their home directories for some reason) [05:03] cablop: all our new desktop machines will be at least 12GB RAM ... and 24GB will not be an issue to get [05:04] cablop: should be able to run from RAM [05:04] rigved , you can share your swap , but I wouldn't advise sharing anything else [05:04] Skaperen: it just has a very big aspect to care for... network connectivity, you need to ensure network never fails === Pinako is now known as Pinako|wet [05:04] and electricity [05:04] collin_: ok. thanx again. :) [05:04] cablop: one problem is a few users prefer to run network connectivity via wireless ... so they can't do netboot [05:05] it is taking more than 15 minutes for my old machine to format a 160GB disk as ext3... i think is there something working really bad with the disk or the cable tied to it... [05:05] rigved , actually, you should be fine with sharing /usr/local [05:06] i want some firewall/routing gui, maybe ncurses or web one, any ideas? [05:06] something that is on commercial home routers [05:06] Skaperen afaik thinclients (minimal install on local disk) would work over wireless... we were trying that config for somebody before... but he was concerned about data security rather than users comfort, lol [05:06] cablop: I think filesystem design could be improved ... it should be enough to write only the superblocks ... and include in them the boundaries of initialized inode tables, or fully dynamic inodes [05:06] with port forwarding and browser gui [05:07] collin_: ok. so swap, /home and /usr/local. got it. [05:07] hi any one willing to help me with somthing [05:07] ? [05:07] rooks, smoothwall [05:07] * cablop would love to find a tag based filesystem....

[05:35] Skaperen, yep works across G,K,X [05:35] XVampireX: depends on the issue.. it should just 'work' for video. [05:35] anyone know a solution to my bluetooth headphone issue? [05:35] XVampireX: audio ocer hdmi - can be an issue. [05:36] Dr_Willis, it doesn't work for video at all [05:36] Haptic: for my BT headset. i had to select the device as the output in the pulse audio cnfig tools. [05:36] XVampireX: and your chipset is? and your monitor is a monitor or tv? whats it doing exactly. [05:37] Q: How do you undo "live video=ofonly" it seems that since i have installed my ubuntu on my mac and entered that into the yaboot screen everything becomes blue tinted whenever i sign on. when i sign out it returns to normal. [05:37] and thats under system>pref.>sound. correct? (ubuntu 10.10) [05:37] I am connecting it to a plasma monitor, i've got intel gma915 I think [05:37] family: you mean to say the GDM screen has the correct colors.. but the user does not? [05:37] XVampireX: is this a laptop or desktop? [05:37] By gdm i believe you mean the sign in screen? [05:38] laptop [05:38] family: GDM is the 'login manager' the screen where you LOGIN at. [05:38] yes [05:38] XVampireX: you have tried the special FN keys on the laptop to enable the external monitor> also the Monitors dialog box may have a option to enable it. [05:38] any raid5 specialists out there? I've moved a software raid5 volume from opensuse to ubuntu and am having problems. [05:38] it has normal colors. but when i sign in it all changes and everything from menues bg everything is blue tinted [05:39] On windows 7 it works if I'm connecting it to hdmi, through a specific resolution, but only if both monitor and plasma are the same resolution, and as far as I know also something like 59hz I think [05:39] I didn't try the FN keys [05:39] I really want to make an awsome GUI to show off with against apple/windows users. advise? [05:39] the plasma says when I try any resolution that it's checking for signal and then nothing.... blue screen [05:39] duh. fix'd. thank you for the help [05:40] hello [05:41] although it was normal when i ran the test cd. but when i tried to install it wouldnt work. so i tried inputting live video=ofonly at the yaboot screen and then i could install but its all blue tinted. is there a way to undo the "live video=ofonly" command thingy? [05:41] Dr_Willis, monitors dialog doesn't provide anything with hdmi [05:41] Xintruder: make? as in a desktop? KDE has all the fancy features.. gnome and compiz can do some neat tricks.. depends on your needs, [05:42] has compizfusion changed since 2005? [05:42] I don't think the FN+F5 would do anything though :P [05:42] XVampireX: for my laptop+ intel. it wouldent even turn on the monitor untill i hit the fn keys. then i could tweak it with the Monitors settings tool,. [05:42] hmm [05:42] Well I'm going to try then [05:43] any thoughts [05:43] ? [05:43] it's weird in windows it works ok [05:45] Xintruder: a lot, i guess [05:45] Q: How do you undo "live video=ofonly" it seems that since i have installed my ubuntu on my mac and entered that into the yaboot screen everything becomes blue tinted whenever i sign on. when i sign out it returns to normal. (ubuntu 10.10 mac ppc) [05:45] XVampireX: the fn+ stuff - went through several modes. Internal only, external only, both, (i recall) [05:46] fn+F5 doesn't work [05:46] XVampireX: with out hitting the fn+ key the monitors tool wouldent see the extarnal display. because the bios had it off.. [05:46] Hit it a few more times. [05:46] Its possible its not supported with that makd/model laptop. you may need to check forums for the exact laptop you have. [05:47] I've got a toshiba satellite [05:47] family: check the boot files/configs to see if its using the video= option by default. [05:47] family: i dont use yaboot. or ppc any more. so thats about all i can suggest. [05:48] Okay, where can i find that? [05:48] (sorry im new) [05:48] check the yaboot docs.. I dont use it.

Pinkie promise [06:03] cablop: as for plymouth i couldnt change the screens so I nuked it... plymouth no longer exists on my system, and I just have Grub2 [06:04] i just remove the options in /etc/default/grub and turn off plymouth. i dont bother removeing it. [06:04] needlez: you just need to remove splash from /etc/default/grub... === kittymita is now known as Petskull [06:06] what I did was remove the things from synaptic except plymouth and libplymouth and no plymouth wont start at all and i tried to reinstall it but no luck so no plymouth what so ever on my machine, so kno Im just using grub2... my thing is I would like a display or background to show instead of text before the gdm login screen loads, like when the computer has to do drive checks or anything like that [06:07] any ideas?? [06:08] Given how fast my system boots.. i wouldent see any such screen then for more then perhaps 2-5 sec.. so really not an issue. I like the normal text messages scrolling by. [06:08] needlez: theres usplash in the repos still - could try it i guess.. [06:09] needlez: or nstall ubuntu-desktop and it will install plymouth again [06:09] I have installed it thru synaptic and nothing happens, ok i might try that [06:09] Im suprised you were able to remove plymouth without removeing/breaking other stuff really. [06:10] me too [06:10] yea, well its not removed removed, what happend was I was messing around with plymouth manager and it disappeared and now all i have is grub2 [06:11] hi everyone [06:11] what is plymouth? [06:11] needlez: grub2 and plymouth are different things and they coexist in a default install [06:11] skpl: one of the things that drives you crazy after moving from ubuntu 9.x or rearlier [06:11] xD [06:11] how would I get the address of the current browser page? for a script [06:12] yes i kno that, but I have no plymouth purple screen just text before the gdm login... and grub2 loads up [06:12] something like a hardware loader and other low level Os stuff [06:12] brb gonna do a restart to see if plymouth came back [06:12] chid, better to ask that in #javascript [06:13] chid sorry it is ##javascript [06:14] skpl: its the program that does the fancy (useless?) 'Ubuntu ...' animation right befor you see the GDM screen [06:14] back and nothing [06:14] still no plymouth even after reinstalling ubuntu-desktop [06:14] cablop, I'm looking for a scripting way, say from bash, to retrieve that [06:15] Dr_Willis: afaik it does more than that... but... well... as how is Ubuntu nowadays this could be just a fancy "reason" [06:15] So I'm looking for the program or the method to retrieve :) [06:15] I dont mind to much the texting but just wondering if you can get plymouth back after its been killed [06:15] cablop: it dosent really 'add' any more functions. but it does have to dosplay the 'disk checking, and some other messages' but really just normal text screen booting does that as well. [06:15] chid, maybe a plughin for your browser [06:16] needlez: sounds like your plymouth tweaking tool may of disavled somthing/setsome configs. Or set the default theme to be the text one.. [06:16] Dr_Willis: i have been taught a lie T_T [06:16] cablop: ive never seen anyont state that it really 'does' more then what the normal text message type screen does. [06:16] i see [06:17] if i use wubi, and i install avast in ubuntu and clamtk, can i cean up an infection in windows while i am in ubuntu? [06:17] it has to 'do' more to do its fancy animations. :) but thats not 'doing' anything that the system really needs. (from what ive seen) [06:17] clean* [06:17] UBuxuBU, better ways to do it [06:17] UBuxuBU: you should be able to. there are live cds out with Linux live systems + AV software also. [06:17] that would be a 'better way' [06:17] hey so.. i'm in the process of building a raid5 - (3) 2tb WD greens ... its been going since before 1pm EST [06:17] wubi is already in windows now [06:17] Dr_Willis: ok that could be i mean it doesnt bother me to much I guess just was wondering if anyone else had done something like this, also what does everyone think of plymouth compaired to xsplash/ usplash?? personally I like the old one better, plymouth is just so ugly and I couldn't mod it [06:18] estimated time to format as ext3 a 160GB disk [06:18] ? [06:18] doesn't that seem pretty long? [06:18] its at ~86% [06:18] so i was hopin i dont even need live cd [06:18] needlez: i disabled usplash/xsplash also.. I dont need somthing adding more complexity - that i onlys ee for like 4 sec during a boot up. [06:18] the live cd method work well if u know the file path [06:19] Dr_Willis, needlez i reenabled the splash in my /etc/grub just to ease things in my netbook... but i'm regreting that, xD [06:19] Dr_Willis: so you just have grub2 then it goes to the gdm?? or to desktop?? thats what I have mine set to now [06:19] help help help, i really need help, i am new with ubuntu, i am trying to use my phone as a modem, i have tried google it, seems like i am LOST, pls help, anybody [06:19] UBuxuBU: the 'best' way would be a live setup on a flash drive. that way you can easially update the virus definitions. [06:19] via usb cable [06:19] needlez: grub2 -> normal old fashioned text messages -> gdm. [06:19] Has anyone built a raid5 before? I'm want to know if mine is taking unusually long [06:20] needlez: you can set GDM to auto login if you want. === Fraxtil` is now known as Fraxtil [06:20] cablop:, Dr_willis thanx for the advice and I do like the way I have it set to now, which is the same way you do Dr_Willis [06:20] I did something in "Monitor Preferences" that disabled Compiz. There was a gksudo popup and it said something about a monitor not supporting a resolution. Does anyone know what I'm referring to? [06:21] I Which tool can i use to make a http-request by supplying raw http header text and look at the response? for debugging http basically. [06:22] I think it also said something about needing to use virtual screens. Running compiz yields "compiz (core) - Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual" [06:22] needlez: well, you accomplished it in a very different way, hehe xD [06:22] hello?

There was a gksudo popup and it said something about a monitor not supporting a resolution. Does anyone know what I'm referring to? [06:48] I think it also said something about needing to use virtual screens.

[06:49] You mean the physical surface of the hard disk? [06:49] Doinkle: Do you use 64bit ubuntu? [06:49] * mdpatrick has a new PC with 6 gigs of ram... [06:49] Getting ready to install ubuntoo :)_ [06:50] ubuntu! [06:50] yep, the physical surface [06:50] mdpatrick, I did for three months, until yesterday. I had enough of the flakiness. 8 have 8Gb RAM and 32bit with PAE rocks for me. :) [06:50] cablop: It would interpret such errors as errors in the filesystem itself. Hard drives have no mechanism for checking for physical problems. [06:50] Doinkle: What's PAE? [06:50] Fraxtil: neither bad blocks/ [06:50] cablop: could you reword that? [06:51] mdpatrick, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [06:51] is there no way to check for bad blocks then? [06:51] cablop: that would be fsck.

I'm kind of a n00b, but if this is the ideal situation to go with it might make sense to set it up that way now :) [06:55] ganadist, boot from the cd and try the recovery function [06:55] i think the old board is the problem or the cables... i was able to create a filesystem with ease via usb converter... :( [06:55] hi [06:55] Doinkle: ok [06:55] mdpatrick, in 10.10 it worked "out of the box" [06:56] mdpatrick, install linux-generic-pae and it will bring in what you need [06:56] root_cooldeniz [06:56] hi [06:56] mdpatrick: just install a PAE kernel and adjust a few drivers to it [06:57] bazhang, thanks for answering [06:57] * Doinkle forgot about that. :/ [06:57] Doinkle: So you just ran the installer, and it detected over 4gig and was able to handle it? [06:57] ahh ok hehe taking notes [06:57] mdpatrick, yes [06:57] but.... [06:58] make sure your BIOS understands you have more than 4gb. My mobo(asus) has a soft switch in bios for that [06:58] but sometimes the linux kernel is able to averride the BIOS settings [06:58] bazhang, doinkle: ok so after install... "sudo aptitude install linux-generic-pae" and I should be GTG? How do I check if it worked? [06:59] but... you need for both your motherboard and your processor to be able to handle PAE [06:59] mdpatrick, check uname -a after you install it [06:59] can i load my current windows partition as a virtual machine from linux? [06:59] along with baz's advice, fire up system monitor and see if it sees the ram too [06:59] mdpatrick: check also the linux headers for that pae kernel [06:59] stefano, you may wish to ask in #vbox [06:59] ok thanks [07:00] mdpatrick: maybe if the live cd is able to see them... you'll have no issues to do that [07:01] cablop: not sure what you mean by linux headers... the stuff that shows up on the screen during boot? [07:01] sigh... i'll start screwing another old board to another old box [07:01] mdpatrick, linux-generic-pae will bring in what you need [07:01] cablop, the installer did all this for me. installed this yesterday [07:01] nope, mdpatrick it is another package you will need along the linux-pae kernel, some sort of libraries for drivers and related things [07:02] bazhang: i tried that in the past and the linux-generic-pae package forgot to install the headers :S [07:02] cablop, thats odd, it has always worked fine here [07:03] bazhang: What should I see with uname -a? [07:03] mdpatrick, the pae kernel [07:03] ah k [07:03] well, in my system i installed a generic kernel before and i thought the system believed the standard headers suffice as a dependencie, this is why i recommend for him to double check that [07:03] mdpatrick, here is mine: Linux Ubuntu-Se7en 2.6.35-24-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 03:21:31 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [07:03] ahh! that helps, thank you [07:03] You guys rock [07:04] Took notes... going to do this install in the morning [07:04] drink a double and do it right now :P === edward__ is now known as no--name [07:06] hehehe [07:06] hi, I installed Lubuntu, updated the graphics card driver, and then Windows XP vanished from the grub menu :( [07:06] It was there between the install of Lubuntu and updating of the graphics card drivers [07:07] Can anybody help me get it back? :( === ubuntu_ is now known as xio3 [07:13] Hey guys I need your help yet again [07:13] So I have this really outdated mic... and external soundcard. and I need skype to located my soundcard info [07:13] Mary-Jane: hi, how can we help you?

[07:21] GeForce88, you need the sun-java6-* packages [07:22] GeForce88, including the sun-java6-plugin package.. and then remove the iced tea plugin if it is installed, so java can replace it in ff [07:22] Mary-Jane: your going to have to play with the input devices part and tweak it to your liking [07:22] rs0832 does 10.10 have those in it's repos? [07:22] GeForce88, yes it does [07:23] i'm not finding them [07:23] GeForce88, are you using synaptic?

[07:32] sorry ceh421. [07:32] rs0832 i needed to open the commented out repos in sources.list and update. then apt-get found them. any ideas if this java package will work with 64 bit? [07:33] GeForce88, hmm.. sorry i am not sure but you can try [07:33] ceh421 but you might want to look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have it [07:33] rs0832: i am afraid to try that because i do not know whether i will lose all my data with it like my notes. i'll try that after the first one. :) [07:34] yea, i'm getting ready to log into it now. thanks for the package name [07:34] rigved, ah ok [07:34] GeForce88, :) ok [07:36] yeah idk man its still not working for my input [07:36] Skype just has default and when I hit test call it says can't locate antying [07:36] ceh421: and take a look at your "nvidia-settings"... sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings if you have it in their repos [07:37] rigved, the server seems to be fine though - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Status#Notes [07:37] Guys when i play video though ANY player in system.

Is there just no way to make the GUI work with verizon? === rs0832_ is now known as rs0832 === rs0832_ is now known as rs0832 [07:58] manlymat183, not that I'm with verizon, but my guess is that for bluetooth side of things, it isn't very well adapted, you could probably however hack up a script to make things easier for you I suppose until of such time that there will be an app to handle it [08:02] Is it possible to display shadows behind text on the gnome desktop?? [08:02] Merry Christmas [08:03] wyclif, to you too [08:03] rs0832: =) [08:04] Got 1 ? does ubuntu have trim support ?

So the recommendation is to still go the script route then? I just wish there was a way to use the internal manager with bluetooth. Perhaps now's the time for me to get a wifi card that's separate from my VZW blackberry vs tethering all the time. [08:09] How do I take other people off my wirelss router ? [08:10] OrangePeel: shut down, change encryption key, give the new key only to people you want to use the router [08:10] I hae no idea how to make a password on it [08:10] OrangePeel: read manual [08:11] I have linux [08:11] OrangePeel: read your routers manual [08:11] it says nothing about linu [08:11] linux [08:11] bestbot isn't being helpful, anyone want to recommend a fastest file duplicate detector?

[08:15] manlymat183: germann prepaid [08:16] I'm trying to configure Verizon through my blackberry with Bluetooth and Ubuntu keeps asking for an ASM. I assume the network connector in 10.10 only supports bluetooth tethering with GSM devices? === Guest22517 is now known as rvdavid [08:17] manlymat183: i just configured the apn here, it automatically detects if 3g is available or not. no need to change anything in networkmanager [08:18] Okay so here is my situation. Right now Ubuntu is taking up my entire HDD. I am going to resize and install windows 7. I have no optical drive and am using a usb drive to install. So after I install is there an easier way to fix my grub then having to format my usb drive and install a linux live cd? [08:19] llutz_: hmmm, maybe I should get a dedicated mobile broadband card instead of using tethering through my blackberry. It'd honestly be nice to be able to use both individually anyway. Sounds like a GSM provider would work best with Ubuntu. [08:20] manlymat183: don't know how blackberrys work, but when using my nokia via bluetooth, its the same thing. Nokia is configured to use 3G and then i only bind it with rfcomm to a device and use that as dialup [08:21] llutz_: so you're saying there is some manual configuration involved? [08:22] manlymat183: _i_ only know the manual way when using a cellphone via bluetooth. [08:23] manlymat183:but usually i use the built-in 3G-card of this AAO with networkmanager, which works flawlessly [08:24] Here's my issue: I went to the bluetooth icon at the top. Paired my blackberry with my laptop. Tried to establish a DUN setup but Verizon wasn't one of the options listed. It asked me to enter an ASM manually (not sure what that is). [08:24] I *think* my t510 has a built in mobile broadband card, but I don't know for usre. [08:24] sure* [08:24] and I'm not quite sure how to check [08:26] manlymat183: "lsusb" should show something 3g-related if there is a card built-in [08:27] nah, looks like there isn't, but I thought I added it as a feature. They had an "antenna" feature or something. [08:29] Hello, once someone has the time, I wanted to know if someone can help me identify why my fresh ubuntu 10.04 install is ignoring the kubuntu backport repository? [08:30] i believe i have figured out the problem, any way to set the horizontal and vert sync for my monitor? is that in any config file? [08:30] TheSarge: Yes, you can install grub to the USB drive without needing to format it, then boot Ubuntu from USB and re-install grub from within Ubuntu. [08:31] bonjour [08:31] est-ce possible d'utiliser deux bib différente sur ubuntu [08:31] du genre [08:31] session 1 sur GNOM [08:32] 大家好 [08:32] I may just go to the store and grab a T-Mobile card [08:32] et sesssion 2 sur unity [08:32] hello everybody [08:32] !english | sabri [08:32] sabri: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [08:32] I'm new here [08:32] am thinking if its possible to use two different library with ubuntu [08:32] like [08:32] can you hear me [08:32] qiandong, hi, what help do you need? [08:32] session 1 with unity and session 2 with GNOME [08:33] ubottu, akshatj>sorry [08:33] I want install oracle on ubuntu,what can I do [08:33] Jordan_U: Huh? === david is now known as Guest61286 [08:33] so, is it possible? [08:33] You misunderstood my problem lol. [08:34] using GNOME and unity in two different session [08:34] TheSarge: Do you have more than one USB drive? [08:34] I figured it out anyways I can use w32grub to install grub from windows then add my ubuntu entery [08:34] sabri, yes, at the bottom of the login screen there is a small box that allows you to choose sessions [08:34] entry [08:34] yes, i know about session [08:35] Ubuntu Desktop Edition for GNOME and Ubuntu Netbook Edition for Unity [08:35] but am talking about graphic library [08:35] But now I need to know if there is some linux program like Unetbootin but that will make my usb drive a bootable windows installer. [08:35] Is there any Chinese here? [08:35] akshatj, [08:35] qiandong, in #ubuntu-cn [08:35] am using unity now [08:35] TheSarge, try ##windows [08:35] Or is it as simple as making it ntfs dumping the contents of the iso and marking it bootable? [08:35] but it seem hard for first time, that's why am trying to find a solution to use two different library.. [08:36] bazhang: I am using linux to do it.. so Windows is of no help. Thx for the sugestion though. [08:36] sabri, what graphic library? [08:36] GNOME and unity [08:36] Just cause the problem involves the word windows people think it has to be answered in ##windows lmao. [08:36] Its a linux Issue not windows. [08:36] its like, i want to configurate two session and each one work with different library [08:36] TheSarge, its for a windows boot disk. ##windows [08:36] TheSarge: While you're using linux to create the USB, the problem is really much more related to windows than it is linux, and almost all the people in ##windows also use linux. [08:37] No all of the work is done in a linux machine what I am installing is not important, you are wrong. [08:37] I am doing all of the work on a linux machine.. [08:37] sabri, oh you mean you want different profiles for both [08:38] so, yeah that's it [08:38] Guys can someone tell me how to get a PIDGIN notification something in cairo-dock? I've tried enabling the "Messages" Plugin but it shows as an empty space without icon! [08:38] hmm how come all my repos with "Translation-en_US" at the end are getting ignored? I just added an amarok ppa... [08:38] 3~creating the USB is the whole issue! [08:39] if i have a good memory i thinnk it was possible in the past to configure two different profile one with GNOME and others with KDE [08:39] And I am creating the USB in LINUX! [08:39] but now, i can't find how :( [08:39] Plus no one is active in windows I have already asked there. [08:40] also, with unity i can't start more than one shell window .. [08:42] brothers [08:42] does fdisk -l on a wubi installation differ from a live cd one ? === van7hu is now known as kaka86 [08:43] Does anyone know wheere the channel for CAIRODOCK is ? [08:43] go go go [08:43] Are you guys serious right now? [08:43] ManDay, try /msg alis list *cairo* [08:44] so, does someone know how to configurate two different graphic profile for two # session into ubuntu [08:44] hm yeah, #cairo-dock has about 10 people [08:45] i thought it was famous [08:46] lighta: Yes, but how it differes depends on what exactly you're looking at. [08:47] how can I get a continuous output of dmesg? [08:47] stbtrax: tailf /var/log/dmesg [08:49] Jordan_U, trying to mount the ntfs partition used by wubi on the ubuntu, don't know wubi well, what it'll lead ? === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [08:49] lighta: It's already mounted, to /host. [08:50] ah nice ok === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [08:50] with writting right ?, no need to put ntfs3g etc ? [08:50] well I think I can check on fstab [08:50] llutz: didn't seem to work but 'tailf /var/log/messages' worked, thanks. [08:51] lighta: Correct. Since Ubuntu's root is contained on a file in the windows partition, to have a readable and writeable root Wubi also needs to always have a readable and writeable windows partition. [08:52] Hi there, support channel :) I attempted to install the acerhk utility (command: sudo module-assistant auto-install acerhk), however it ended with this make error: "make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-27-generic'; CC [M] /usr/src/modules/acerhk/acerhk.o; gcc: -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible; make[4]: *** [/usr/src/modules/acerhk/acerhk.o] Error 1" ... Any suggestions, pretty please? ^^ [08:52] How do I set gnome terminal to start in ~ (like ctrl alt f1 does) instead of the full home directory path. [08:52] ok I see Jordan_U thx a lot =) [08:52] I added cd ~ to my .profile, but that didn't do anything [08:53] lighta: You're welcome :) [08:53] how to I xfer video to an ipod? gtkpod fails with "must install mp4v2 library" which is not in synaptic. [08:54] libmp4v2-0 quietone ? [08:54] AnthonyCat: What is the output of "echo $PS1; echo $SHELL" in both gnome-terminal and at a tty (ctrl+alt+F1)? [08:55] thanks to all, my ubuntu 10.10 booted now , there was some bad sectors. rectified using fsck . [08:55] bazhang, yes, i think i had a typo (many times) [08:55] quietone, its there [08:55] btw where is this IRC logged ? [08:55] !1984 | gancient [08:55] gancient: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [08:55] nm, I found how to do it. (It was just bash -l) [08:56] did someone know how to make two different graphic profile for two different session into ubuntu === xx is now known as Guest2198 [08:56] :( [08:58] ubottu: under 2010 / 12 /26 there are so many logs which one is this channel logged to ? [08:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === royale1223 is now known as Royale === robert is now known as Zenock [08:58] gancient, #ubuntu.txt and #ubuntu.html [08:58] sabri, you can, with some slight difficulty, making xorg dump a conf file, duplicate that and edit the second one for the second session and whenever needed either hack up a script to start the second session of xorg in that fashion or switch by closing xorg with script and making it start on an alternate profile === Royale is now known as royale1223 [08:58] <[thor]> gancient: there is a bit of a lag before the log is committed. [08:59] [thor]: ok [08:59] I use Ubuntu 10.10 and I've been shifting back and forth between the desktop and the netbook remix versions. Now I can't find the unity interface on UNR. It still shows as "installed" on the software center. Logging back and logging in on any other mode, gives me the same interface. Any ideas? [08:59] psycho_oreos, thanks === xx_ is now known as Guest5436 [09:01] bazhang, thx. curious that synaptic finds "libmp4v2" but returns nothing for "mp4v2". [09:01] quietone, you might try apt-cache search mp4v2 to get something like that in future [09:02] bazhang, will do. [09:04] what does this mean? "Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/beta/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US" [09:05] Nightmaren, you have not enabled updating from that source [09:05] Nightmaren, so it was ignored (Ign) [09:06] how may I do that? I checked it in the sources [09:06] hallo [09:06] Nightmaren, hmm the same one? [09:06] any chinese here? [09:06] !cn| camper308 [09:06] camper308: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:06] camper308, #ubuntu-cn [09:06] yes in the other software tab [09:06] I am having the same Ign issue with gnome-shell repos [09:07] Nightmaren, which ubuntu are you using? [09:07] 10.04 clean install [09:07] Nightmaren, version? [09:07] nirazio: You might have driver problems. What is the output of "glxinfo | grep direct"? (if it's more than one line use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ) [09:07] ubuntu [09:07] Nightmaren, i think it is because that is a ppa for kubuntu ... but i am not sure [09:08] quit [09:08] Jordan_U: DO you want me to instal glxinfo for that?? [09:08] nirazio: Yes. [09:08] hmm well I also had the same deal when trying to install the gnome-shell beta repo [09:08] "Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/ricotz/testing/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US" [09:09] Nightmaren, can you pastebin your sources.list file? [09:09] sure, one moment please [09:10] Here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/547657/ I skipped the comments of course [09:10] noobies question, I want to install openoffice I downloaded it in my computer what are the command to install it ? [09:11] Nightmaren, can you post it with the comments? [09:11] My apologies, I will do that then [09:11] Nightmaren, some parts of the config are in there :) [09:11] hey [09:11] Haha I see http://paste.ubuntu.com/547658/ [09:12] and mary christmas [09:12] there is nothing about the PPAs though-- should there be? [09:12] how to install openoffice, from a folder in my computer? [09:12] Nightmaren, not really... i think some of the normal repos direct the u [09:13] Nightmaren, not really... i think some of the normal repos direct the update to the ppas [09:13] I see [09:14] * skraito brb === sash__ is now known as sash_ [09:14] Nightmaren, ok.. i will tell you to uncomment some things in the sources.list [09:14] sure [09:14] Nightmaren, i will pastebin it ok? [09:14] alrighty [09:14] Is there a way to hook into update-aptd-xapi? I have it running in the background taking up loads of resourc es and I'd like to know what its doing [09:14] cos I ve just run a complete update yesterday [09:16] Nightmaren, ok.. now make a backup copy of your sources.list file, and then make the changes in the original as given here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/547662/ [09:17] ok, I will run apt-get update now [09:17] Nightmaren, ok [09:17] hmm no go unfortunately-- same thing [09:18] Nightmaren, have you modified the sources.list file before? [09:18] no I have not [09:18] It really is odd, since I installed it fresh today and have never ran into such a thing [09:18] Nightmaren, can you pastebin the out put of the apt-get update [09:19] sure [09:19] Nightmaren, it isnt exactly a problem [09:19] Nightmaren, i get lots of Ign's [09:19] oh yes I thoroughly explored the forums seeing that was normal [09:20] the problem here is... its not reading the PPAs [09:20] Nightmaren, yes but the ppas are also repos :) === petr is now known as Guest73251 [09:20] seems i've had issues getting 10.x iso's-made-usb chips to boot/recognize themselves as install media [09:21] Nightmaren, you can try changing the update server from us to main [09:21] hehe now I am confused-- I just know that the updated versions in the ppa repos arent showing up in synaptic [09:21] Here we are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/547663/ [09:22] Nightmaren, you neednt think about it much :) hold on im checking the output [09:22] Why is everything so freaking HUGE? I got an 1024x768 here and just the evolution settings window is bigger than my screen is high! [09:22] had to put 9.10 on this netbook, now updating to 10.4.1LTS [09:23] I really appreciate your help [09:23] Is there some GNOME setting to make everything a little smaller? [09:24] Nightmaren, did you change the update server to main ? [09:25] Yes, I tried between Main, US, and a couple others in the list [09:26] ManDay, not that i know of...seen the same in kde and fvwm [09:26] Nightmaren, ok.. one more thing,, do you know for sure that the ppa's have updated software versions from those displayed in synaptic? [09:27] thanks nyRednek a pity [09:27] hey people [09:27] yes, my other computer has more updated versions and should be using the same ppas. I also checked manually [09:27] ManDay, i think it has more to do with the way the developer(s) laid out the dialog [09:28] what is the differnce between core duo and core solo [09:28] Nightmaren, and have you compared the two sources.list files? [09:28] ManDay, maybe adjusting the font size(down) may help [09:28] like when core duo 3.1ghz and core solo 3.1ghz which one is better ? [09:28] intel-dell, number of cores [09:28] nyRednek: already did that [09:28] you know, I was startting to think in that direction as I was typing out my last message... I think I will do that right now. [09:28] but i can only size it down to a certain size [09:28] ManDay, just a suggestion [09:28] nyRednek: the problem is really more huge icons n all that [09:29] The two computers are side by side [09:29] Nightmaren, :) [09:29] is core duo 3.1ghz and core solo 3.1ghz are the same ? :S [09:29] i mean have the same power ? [09:29] ManDay, hmmm...tried a window manager that allows dialogs to cover multiple virtual screens? [09:29] easy way to restore apt.sources from package default? [09:30] Is UFW blocking connections to all ports by default? [09:30] intel-dell, no..duo is 2 processor cores and solo is one [09:30] to be honest, I was basically trying to clone my previous computer by putting everything it had onto this computer [09:30] Stava: No, all ports are open by default. [09:30] intel-dell, again, two cores means two processors, so to speak [09:30] so if there is a way I can copy source files or something, that is great [09:30] rs0832 yes but still both are 3.1ghz ... [09:30] Nightmaren, ah ok [09:30] Jordan_U, How do I block all ports with ufw? :o [09:30] intel-dell, yes [09:31] or sources.list? [09:31] intel-dell, you can have a 3.1 ghz celeron too for that matter [09:31] intel-dell, and most linux distros take advantage of multiple processors [09:31] Nightmaren, i think for cloning an install there are tools [09:32] silly me thought I could do it without :P but if I'll get past this snag, Ill be in great shape [09:32] !ufw | Stava [09:32] Stava: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [09:32] Nightmaren, you can do it without:) i m just saying ;) [09:33] Nightmaren, if this cannot be resolved, you can try that.. but we will still attempt: ) [09:33] thank you! [09:33] ok there are some differences between the files [09:33] intel-dell, also bear in mind, clock rate is not an accurate measure of performance [09:33] Ill try copying it over first, and keep a backup of the original [09:33] intel-dell, MIPS is [09:33] Nightmaren, ok i got the new installations file.. can you paste the other? === david is now known as TurtleCrazy [09:34] on what ? cache level ? [09:34] Nightmaren, or you can copy yourself if you want :) [09:34] I was just about to open a virtual Machine but it has an error [09:35] Ormie, long time :) what error? [09:35] here is the pastebin of the other computer http://pastebin.com/Sn89fMFE it has a few things that arent on this one yet however [09:35] intel-dell, the speed of a processor is not necessarily an indicator of the speed with which it handles instructions [09:35] Nightmaren, ok [09:36] It's an error on virtualbox [09:37] Nightmaren, yes.. you should try to replace the old entries with this one [09:37] copying it hasnt seemed to fixed the amarok and gnome shell issue however :( [09:37] Ormie, yes tell me the error [09:37] rs0832: Here is the paste bin and it contains the error that it shows. http://paste.ubuntu.com/547665/ [09:37] Nightmaren, sorry i missed the part about amarok and gnome shell o.0 [09:38] oh no, those were the two IGN issues I pasted before [09:38] Nightmaren, ah ok [09:38] Ormie, in synaptic, install DKMS [09:39] what if I were to copy the apt folder between the computers? [09:39] Ormie, then run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup in a terminal [09:39] ok i have another question like ! what to do with your laptop do you leave it charging and use it like 24H/day or you charge it and use battery ! [09:39] Nightmaren, hmm can you open up system>preferences>software sources? [09:40] sure [09:40] i used to use it 24H/day but lately battery doesn't last for long time [09:40] intel-dell, the former [09:40] intel-dell, condition the battery [09:40] Nightmaren, sorry its in system>administration>software sources [09:41] yes I located it :) [09:41] rs0832, This contains what it says http://paste.ubuntu.com/547666/ [09:41] intel-dell, do that by repeatedly fully charging pc then letting it deplete battery [09:42] Ormie, i think you missed the 'setup' at the end [09:42] Nightmaren, ok.. on the first tab, except for the cd, are all entries checked? [09:42] ermmm i think i should buy a new battery ! [09:42] rs0832, My mistake. [09:42] yes they are [09:42] Ormie, :) [09:43] but charging battery when it is 100% will heat the battery & the pc too [09:43] Nightmaren, ok.. second tab? [09:43] hello people [09:43] Nightmaren, how many entries? and are all checked? [09:43] only the ppas are checked [09:43] intel-dell, again, i said let the battery run down to nothing, then fully charge again [09:44] Nightmaren, there are others? try checking them [09:44] intel-dell, do that a few times [09:44] intel-dell, that will help [09:44] I checked all of them but the problem persists [09:44] Nightmaren, third tab now [09:45] important and recommended are checked [09:45] That what it's in the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/547668/ [09:45] Nightmaren, check pre released and unsupported [09:45] Nightmaren, remember to uncheck these when we are done! [09:46] same problem unfortunately [09:46] Ormie, try running vbox now [09:46] Nightmaren, check one of the programs for the version in synaptic [09:47] Nightmaren, in the mean time ill go through the out put again [09:47] no go:( === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [09:48] the apt-get update output is a little different now with the new sources.list, would you like that?

[12:56] i've managed to break the ethernet network in the same *weird* way in two ubuntu installs, and can't seem to find out what it is: dhcp works, udp hence too, icmp works, BUT i can't establish tcp connections! it seems the card doesn't send anything...uber puzzled. please help! [12:56] Morning folks... how can I add an entry for a LUKS encrypted LVM partition in fstab if the device name won't be available until I unlock it with cryptsetup? [12:56] rs0832, there is deb file installer GUI tool. What is the name of it please? [12:56] ox3a, gdebi?

I don't like that, how can I stop this automount? Last time I fixed it but I forgot. All I remember that, it's something on Configuration editor. Can you tell me the detail procedure? [12:59] goodtime thanks, and unfortunately I don't have an SD card reader next to me so I'm jsut looking for tips [13:00] yeah google it [13:00] there are tons of data recovery applications for linux.. some are included in hirens boot cd.. others in partition magic.. look on youtube..

[13:01] guampa: just a sec [13:01] Hi :) I have been using grdesktop and rdesktop to connect to a Window Server 2003 Terminal Server ... and the admin of that server had to enable SSL (ie. TLS 1.0) server authentication and High encryption on the Terminal Server. Now, I can no longer connect using my Linux box, only with my Windows Desktop Connect client v6.1.x [13:01] What can I do?

[13:03] if i want to learn how open source software operates what tools do i need installed to view programs and what languages are most common [13:03] potat0: what are they? [13:03] : will that resolve dependencies? [13:03] :d [13:03] : will that resolve dependencies? [13:04] dorbin: afaik it installs properly [13:04] potat0: thanks [13:04] guampa: try issuing a "sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -s0 -w test.pcap tcp port 80" and try to make a test connection to www.google.com [13:04] tristan3199us: wuuuuuut????, dude you can get the source from the developers site, and they code in pretty much anything from haskell, c, ruby etc === onre_ is now known as onre [13:05] Hello people im from West Germany !!!

[13:08] potat0: I am getting dependency errors.. === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [13:08] mostly when its something like libgpgme its in C++/C [13:08] thanks potat0 [13:08] dorbin: which package? [13:08] wicd [13:08] are most lib files C/C++ [13:08] aptitude reveals wicd is already present in the repository [13:08] ox3a, http://www.linuxwimax.org/Download [13:09] potat0: I downloaded all the packages (5) and could only install them one by one [13:09] just directly install it. [13:09] I have no GUI [13:09] rs0832, i am still visiting this site [13:09] rs0832, which i need? [13:09] why do you want gui for `apt-get install wicd*` [13:09] ? [13:09] CyL: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/547705 [13:09] *a [13:10] potat0: there is no SSH being done to that remote server [13:10] shai__: then what do you want to do? [13:10] ox3a, what version is your kernel? [13:10] It was working find on port 3389 and now it does not after he enabled SSL [13:10] s/find/fine/ [13:10] CyL: only can try connections to the router (192.168.1.1), as internet isn't reachable over ethernet here (i have only 3G here) [13:10] shai__: 1) what are you trying to do 2) protocol [13:11] guampa: most probably your router at 192.168.1.1 is blocking the connections [13:11] potat0: because these packages is needed to get the internet on that box up and running -- catch22 [13:11] potat0: 1) I'm trying to use rdesktop to connect to that terminal server 2) RDP - TCP - SSL [13:11] Hi, is there any application that will prevent cd copying "cd copy protection" for ubuntu? [13:12] CyL: i can connect to the router when in other OS or even with a liveCD [13:12] dorbin: hmm, what is dpkg saying now? [13:12] xnixan: you want to make some sort of copy protected cd? [13:12] that's why i say it's a very weird situation [13:12] rs0832, Kernel 2.6.35.8 [13:13] Dr_Willis, yep! [13:13] shai__: afaik the tsclient in buntu can handle only RDP and RDPv5 [13:13] shai__: is VNC an option here? [13:13] xnixan: never seen such a tool on any linux disrtos or repos. For a burnable cd. Im not really sure its doable. [13:13] guampa: what makes you believe this is not related to a hardware problem [13:14] Dr_Willis, thanks! [13:14] xnixan: css (dvd) [13:14] ox3a, ok install the first one on the page [13:14] CyL: the fact that i've been able to use the nic under a liveCD / other OS [13:14] potat0, ?? [13:14] potat0: "dpkg: dependancy problems prevent configuration of wicd" [13:15] potat0: nope :( [13:15] guampa: is it possible that there have been a driver update in the OS? [13:15] potat0, what do you mean by "css (dvd)" ? [13:16] xnixan: its a library for decryption of dvd's [13:16] xnixan: there is no software-only solution for this. StarForce produce CDs that cannot be cloned (that is, a windows driver can always distinguish the original from a copy) [13:16] rs0832, Sorry, How to install it? [13:17] CyL: perhaps, what puzzles me is that the same problem arised on my laptop before (months ago). I was on a different network then, and could only do dhcp and icmp. Thought then it was a damaged nic, but after seeing the same here and knowing it's specific to this installation i'm puzzled [13:17] isnt there ways to copy cd's and dvd's 1010100010 (bianary) so that its identical... literlly... [13:17] potat0: seems like a case of dependency-hell [13:17] i can only guess it's some sysctl, though i haven't touched any [13:17] guampa: sorry, me too.. [13:18] or a broken tcp stack :S [13:18] dorbin: you can map out the dependancies in this box [13:18] guampa: I'm also puzzled [13:18] potat0: how? [13:18] potat0, thanks [13:18] duld do you mean that it is not applicable under ubuntu? [13:18] CyL: thanks much anyway for helping fellow [13:18] xinian: yes [13:18] potat0: seems like I need python dependencies.. [13:18] ox3a, you need a git browser [13:18] guampa: you're welcome [13:18] duld, thanks! [13:18] hello [13:19] dorbin: hmm, can you install that there as well? [13:20] potat0: I can download packages manually from my laptop which I am also doing IRC from - then copy to offline box.. [13:20] potat0: problem now is to sort out dependencies.. [13:20] dr_willis: what makes the window [bob up and down] when its too large and cant be reduced?? [13:21] hey folks. I have a SWF file (it is a small digital clock for a website) what can I use to decompile and edit it so I can create a world clock from it? I dont have the original file [13:21] rs0832, i have git-web--browse - git [13:21] Happy Holidays all!, i arrive with a question. 1) How do i install samba for ubuntu 10.10 desktop? [13:21] tristan3199us: cant say ive ever noticed that effect. [13:21] dorbin: tried the wicd sourceforge page? [13:21] MrPicard: apt-get install samba [13:22] potat0: what am I looking for on their sourceforge page? [13:22] dorbin: do this [13:22] ox3a, install git-gui from synaptic [13:22] in this box [13:22] Or to put it another way :) what can I use to edit SWF / FLA files in Ubuntu? [13:22] apt-get install -d wicd* [13:22] or something like that [13:23] its like when a window has more options than screen highth, if the window doesnt have a scroll bar it starts tripping out and each click it goes between lining up the top windows edge with the top of the screen.. than the bottom of the window with the bottom of the screen... ill show you with screen shots in a second.. [13:23] potat0: Thanks!, do you know any easy start up guides for it? [13:23] it should _only_ download all the dependencies and not install (though you may want to check that) [13:23] im bad at explaining myself.. sorry [13:23] rs0832,ok [13:23] Hi all... Does anyone know of a server based ebay auction sniper that runs on ubuntu with a web interface? [13:23] MrPicard: http://www.iamjacksdesign.com/blog/a-decent-samba-tutorial-for-ubuntu/ [13:24] potat0: I've already downloaded the packages, copied them to the offline box and then done dpkg .. now I need to get some python-deps [13:24] dorbin: i mean, it will download the dependencies as well [13:25] dorbin: unless you already have them in this box [13:25] potat0: exactly! [13:25] potat0: hence the full list of dependencies are needed [13:26] I have Ubuntu 10.4 and over Ubuntu i have BackTrack R2. But i will BackTrack in VirtualBox. How can i it make over VirtualBox Backtrack R2 ??? [13:26] dorbin: unpack the deb file [13:26] look inside the debian/control file [13:27] tristan3199us: the bits stored might be the same, but there is a side channel that may serve to identify a particular disc: timing! [13:27] a bit unorthodox but it'll have the information [13:27] hi [13:27] hello everyone [13:27] just a quick question [13:28] my god nobody will me help ??? [13:28] i can only write to hfs volumes as root === tibert is now known as oxmo [13:28] is there a way around that [13:28] cooldeniz: what [13:28] cooldeniz, what is your issue [13:29] potat0: I'm sorry, you lost me - which deb file is to be unpacked and what is the purpose of doing this? [13:29] rs0832, done : Now clone existing Repository? === Mark_ is now known as grid_ [13:30] kabiigon: you can't write to an hfs+ as non root because its mounted adn owned by root [13:30] ox3a, yes clone the repository on the site [13:30] i have ubuntu 10.4 with BackTrack. but i will BackTrack in VirtualBoxt wit Ubuntu 10.4. how make i it ??? [13:30] Hey anybody know some cool, useful Xchat scripts? [13:30] dorbin: when we make packages [13:30] the control file has information to help dpkg [13:30] and apt [13:30] now you can just read it using a text editor and get the information [13:31] cooldeniz just get VMware [13:31] its pretty easy [13:31] rs0832,here i see 3 url .... which i need please?

[13:41] tried copying all files in a bootable fat-partition and installing mbr with ms-sys, gives "missing operation system" [13:41] delueks: make usb fat32, set bootable flag, use this program called "unetbootin" (its in the repo) [13:41] xnixan: the software side of your "protection" scheme will always be crackable.

[15:09] ...situation isn't improving. How can I fix this? I mean, I wanna get back to my previous configuration. [15:09] soumya, it's Petskull, not Peterman [15:09] Petskull, i think i have to install BCM4312 [15:10] <`Abhijit> pksadiq, thanks again. Your suggestion worked. [15:10] soumya, you mean the restricted driver manager? go for it! [15:10] Petskull, yes [15:10] `Abhijit: don't care [15:10] Petskull, it is listed there.. should i install it [15:10] ya des francais? [15:10] hey guys, anyone ever had nautilus hanging on the /usr/bin folder? thunar seems to do the exact same [15:10] yes- get to an ethernet source first, though [15:10] Tanvir: the ubuntu logo at boot.. is 'plymouth' it has known issues with some video cards/chipsets. as for fonts.. no idea why video drivers would affect fonts. [15:11] soumya, [15:11] Tanvir: whats broken with teh fonts? [15:11] Petskull, YES [15:11] YA DES FRANCAIS? [15:11] itaylor57: i read on the internet it could be caused by a bad battery. so i removed the battery and ran the laptop without it. same error still. any other ideas? [15:11] Dr_Willis: The USB Creator wont opwn [15:12] soumya, in the future, if anybody asks, this is your Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) [15:12] soumya, and you can search in google for people having the same issue [15:12] Galindar: not yet, ill let you knowif i get an idea [15:12] Colin969: what usb creater? if you are wanting to make a bootable flash drive. Theres several ways to do it. I tend to set up grub2 to boot my ISO files. the pendrivelinux site has scripts and tools for windows and linux, theres unetbootin, (win and lin) and lili (win only) and proberly a dozen others ive never used. [15:13] Colin969: ive also used the live cd to make one. but thats a bit of a hassle. [15:13] soumya, broadcom wifi drivers are an ancient sore-spot with linux, you used to need a wrapper and a whole thing [15:13] I am running ubuntu on mac (VMware Fusion), can I run other vm's inside ubuntu :D ? [15:13] Dr_Willis: The one in the Ubuntu Netbook ISO [15:13] Petskull, sure.. I will check on net [15:14] Xintruder: no, but you can run more alongside it [15:14] i see [15:14] soumya, the driver in 'additional drivers' is fine. use it [15:14] Colin969: you burnt the cd? and ran it from there? or copied it fromt he iso to the desktop ? [15:14] soumya, well- you've already solved your problem, haven't you? [15:14] Colin969: i dont recall ever using that tool. [15:15] Petskull, not till now.. installation is on queue.. I will let u know once it is done [15:15] Dr_Willis: How does Unetbootinwork [15:16] im searching for a gui for netstat to see incoming and outgoing connections, any suggestions ? ( i dont want to see the traffic, just connection x on port x etc...) [15:16] soumya, rgr [15:16] Colin969: run unetbootin, point it to the iso file, point it to the flash drive.. hit a button.. come back 4 min later.. [15:17] Dr_Willis: I picked the ISO but how does.. [15:17] ofc i could use wireshark, but thats way too big... [15:17] Its not in the list [15:17] Colin969: download unetbootin for whatever os you are running. [15:19] Colin969: or use other tools from --> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [15:20] Dr_Willis, sorry for delay. [15:20] I'm on a Ubuntu machine that is properly connected to a WPA2 network using NetworkManager. Is there any way to copy the settings to another Ubuntu machine that is just using config files and not NM or Wicd? [15:20] Petskull, driver installation is failing.. [15:21] error? [15:21] soumya, [15:21] Petskull, Install archive() failed [15:21] Dr_Willis, the problem is there should be appearing screen or images, but font is appearing now, like boot-up logos, and the font seems broken there. That's all. [15:21] Hello, I have an iPad that will not mount! My iPhone will just fine, just not the iPad. [15:21] soumya, hmm- are you sure you're online? [15:21] Dr_Willis, How can I fix that problem? [15:21] !ipad | cveazey [15:21] Tanvir: im not even clear on what the font problem is 'font seems broken' ? what font? all fonts? [15:21] soumya, that old bug still lurking, how silly.... sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source [15:21] yes [15:21] Dr_Willis: Didnt have my USB Plugged in...FAIL === shookees is now known as asasdasda [15:22] why this problem:./configure: No such file or directory [15:22] Tanvir: as for the Plymouyth boot screen... I disable plymouth.. its an annoyance [15:22] mongy. ok. [15:22] rs0832, ./configure: No such file or directory === asasdasda is now known as shookees [15:22] Petskull, mongy has suggested some tricks let me try it [15:22] Dr_Willis, how to disable Plymouyth? [15:22] Colin969: for the tools be sure to select /dev/sdX not /dev/sdx1 (i recall) when they ask where. [15:22] Are iPads not supported yet? === shookees is now known as DoubleString [15:22] Tanvir: i edit the /etc/default/grub and replace the 'quiet splash' options with just '' (ie nothing) [15:22] Tanvir: then rerun update-grub [15:22] cveazey: check the forums, there's probably something there about it [15:23] soumya, I think you need to be hooked up via wire also. [15:23] mongy, will it install the driver [15:23] mongy, i m hooked on wired [15:23] soumya, its what the gui program installs [15:23] I did!

[15:23] * Dr_Willis womnders whats 'to' support on an ipad.. [15:23] Dr_Willis, I can't edit. [15:23] Colin969: No idea. [15:24] Tanvir: its a system file. You need root rights to edit it of course. [15:24] mongy .. there are installation error.. is that fine [15:24] !sudo | Tanvir [15:24] Tanvir: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

I cannot connect to battlenet. Tells me its not possible to verify which version im using...

[15:30] Dr_Willis, It should not be bad file [15:31] Petskull, :) [15:31] soumya, why'd you install Ubuntu? [15:31] Colin969: you boot the usb - it will have some menus , you select the os to boot.. it willthen act as if you booted from a 'cd' only faster from the flash drive. [15:31] ox3a: prove its not I guess.. make sure its executable.. [15:31] soumya, you just told it to install it again from shell.. its a 'jockey' bug [15:31] Petskull, to lean linux .. as well as i m tired of windows slowness [15:32] Dr_Willis its in the Options right, Pressing F12 When it Boots up? [15:32] you'll be glad to know, its still in natty [15:32] it's your dual-boot with Vista? [15:32] mongy, yes.. i installed it from CLI [15:32] Colin969: the bios boot options - depend on your machine. Mine is F11. [15:32] its an old bug now, it should have been buried before now... ugh [15:32] Petskull, yes.. but with windows 7 [15:32] Colin969: some machines you have to go into the bios and move the usb drive to the top oif the list [15:32] Dr_Willis, can you test it pls?i see all ok [15:32] Dr_Willis: Thanks, I know its F12, on an Acer Aspire One [15:33] soumya, then.. no? [15:33] ox3a: how about a ls -al ./configure [15:33] lol [15:33] Peterman, why?? [15:33] soumya, what do you like? Programming, Gaming, the customizability? [15:33] Dr_Willis:now I have a strange problem, when I ever I boot ubuntu some flickering happens to my monitor and loads to tty, just like when there are errors with Xserver, but after that I have to login as root and the command gdm & makes it work again fine, but I have to do it each time, even addim gdm to rc.local is not helping [15:33] Dr_Willis: Then how do I Install it? Imean i want to Partition 30GB Forit and Install Linux as another Boot [15:34] Colin969: you boot the usb.. use the installer program [15:34] soumya... is it just a 'check the webmail' compu? [15:34] Peterman, I am programmer.. but i have to keep the windows as my company uses outlook to accesss mail [15:34] Dr_Willis, ls: cannot access ./configure: No such file or directory [15:34] I'm actually looking for info on the Magnatune pluging for Rhytmbox. :-) when I tell it to download an album, where does it store it at? I get a nice message saying that the download is complete, but no info on where it is. :) [15:35] Dr_Willis: Well, So i boot Ubuntu from the Disk and run the Install? [15:35] pksadiq: try 'sudo service gdm start' could be some time out in loading of the nvidia drivers. or other drivers.. I recall a similer issye ages ago in beta testng.. gdm would time out befor the modules where loaded. [15:35] soumya, yuck outlook [15:35] Hello, does anyone know hwere the gnome wheater application widget gets its locations from? my city is not in the list and the closest ones nearby have very different weather [15:35] soumya: you should write down your settings from outlook and then use them in evolution :) [15:35] ox3a: so we are back to you being in the wrong directoruy. or spelling somthing wrong. [15:35] I found an article about iPad! http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/7204/1/ [15:35] ox3a: or the filesystem is totally messed up. [15:36] bluefox83, i will definitely try that but as of now I am keeping it. [15:36] Dr_Willis: Huh? [15:36] Dr_Willis: ok, I will try later, but adding gdm to rc.local gives many warning like gtk can open display or something like that [15:36] OK- How do I set permissions to everybody for a whole folder? [15:36] soumya: just remember, outlook is just a software suite, it can be replaced ;) [15:36] whats my nic [15:36] *nick [15:37] hello, I installed pinguy os wchich is based on ubuntu and after update I lost inet connection. [15:37] bluefox83, yes.. but tilll now outlook is best in mail client :P... [15:37] Hi I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed and for some reason if I try to install Win 7, my dvd doesn't boot even if I put all the boot sequence devices to cd / dvd. Could this be a mbr thing? The dvd is definitely bootable since I already installed win from there [15:37] Dr_Willis: Huh? [15:37] soumya: hardly! lol. outlook is garbage :p [15:37] PerSeL, #pinguyos [15:38] bluefox83, that is another debate.. so better we leave it :) [15:38] akshatj: isn't it's the same? [15:38] anyone? [15:39] petisnnake, have partitioned a space for ntfs ? [15:39] petisnnake, i guess its problem with bios [15:39] have you [15:39] I dont have any ntfs partitioned space [15:39] What can cause everything i type to be displayed extremely slow on my acer aspire 5520? [15:39] petisnnake, That would not be an Ubuntu problem, Would be the system having issues. [15:39] but I weant to erase all my hdd and only have win 7 on it [15:39] Galindar, crappy drivers [15:40] I see, thanks guys [15:40] petisnnake, If the DVD doesn't boot, then you may need to tell the bios to boot form a CD/DVD Rom drive. [15:40] If the system is even semi-recent the option should be there, unless the DVD drive itself is messed up. ^^; [15:40] ok ty akshatj , installing different driver now [15:41] Hi, I have a problem which means I can't startup. and I think that there's a problem with the file /lib/libz.so.1. In recovery mode, many actions result in: error whiel loading shared libraries: /lib/libz.so.1: invalid ELF header. [15:41] what was the program that on running gives you sudo shell? [15:41] thanks guys.. [15:41] i don't remember [15:41] bye..

[15:42] So should I apt-get those? [15:42] petisnnake, What message does it give when it tries to load, or does it just not seem to find the drive? [15:42] anyone know why i hang on shutdown? [15:42] needhelp1, yes - that's what it installs [15:42] Petskull, check write permissions [15:42] timcarson: Not all of them. Try lib32z1 first. [15:42] tarzeau: try sudo apt-get install lsb_release -a [15:42] akshatj: that worked so far!!! tyvm [15:42] Emry: no messages, doesn't even try to boot. I get booted into Ubuntu === cha0s_ is now known as Nick_Meister [15:42] drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 8192 2010-12-26 11:35 Game Lab - Pong [15:42] even though hdd is not set as a boot device [15:42] tarzeau: try sudo apt-get install zlib1g [15:43] tarzeau: sorry for the first wrong answer [15:43] petisnnake, unplug the hd and try if you can boot from dbd [15:43] *dvd [15:43] Please Help me out. My Minimize, maximize and close buttons are disappearing after every system reboot. Please Help how to get rid of this [15:43] ubottu: I realize I have no network connection so should I install it from cd or a thumbdrive or something like that? [15:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:43] Emry, I think windows cd doesn't see a proper ntfs partition so it doesn't boot ...I've had that problem with W7 [15:44] hi guys i am trying to ssh to my computer, from about 6000 miles away, and im obviously experiencing some lag, is there any way to make it predict my keypresses a bit better, so that i dont have to wait few seconds for a response after i type a letter [15:44] home- for some reason, this does nothing: sudo chmod -R 777 *.* [15:44] petisnnake, The HDD is always a boot device if it doesn't find something else. Try hitting escape when the bios message flashes by at the very beginning of the boot sequence (also try delete if that doesn't work, and then if that doesn't work F12). those are common boot menu keys [15:44] * MindWarper thinks ubottu is sexy [15:44] Hello everyone. Ubuntu semi-noob here. I've been trying to reboot into the recover menu to get to the root console by holding down the shift key during boot as multiple google searches have shown me to do. But it just boots normally each time. What am I missing? [15:44] Nick_Meister, not really. [15:44] BluesKaj, The windows installer does not require an NTFS partition to run. It will create it. [15:44] rignes: which version of ubuntu? [15:44] I'm sorry 10.10 [15:45] Emry: delete works and takes me to bios [15:45] rignes: try using f keys...and esc [15:45] BluesKaj, What he is describing is a hardware issue of some sort. [15:45] I figure I'm missing something silly as usual. [15:45] for some reason it still wont play dvds [15:45] petisnnake, Mind if I send you a /msg ? :-) This is really beyond the scope of the Ubuntu channel. :-) [15:45] i have libdvdread4 and vlc installed [15:45] Emry, yeah , I thought so too , but I had to create a ntfs partition on the hdd before w7 would install [15:45] jnanadarshan, that most likely means that compiz is not starting correctly - you might want to try installing fusion-icon to see if that helps, best of luck. [15:45] pksadiq: 10.10 [15:45] rignes: holding shift key should work, might be some other problem, [15:45] akshatj: that seems to have fixed it!! awesome tyvm. next problem.. lol.. what can cause my acer aspire 5520 to hit 112c ((233.6 fahrenheit)) or higher when doing anything other than idling? cooler seems to be working fine. [15:46] BluesKaj, It should at least boot before it craps out though. :P [15:46] needhelp1, be sure that you ran "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" after installing the libdvdread4 package [15:46] Otherewise it won't know that there is a problem. ^^ [15:46] rignes: when does you starts holding shift? [15:46] ZykoticK9, what does that do [15:46] pksadiq: Odd...this is a fresh install too. I'm tryign to work out better video drivers. I have screen flicker for the intel i915. [15:46] Emry: sent you msg [15:46] needhelp1, it actually "installs" libdvdread4 [15:46] @ Zykotick9 I have already installed Compiz Fusion Icon. What's Next ? [15:47] pksadiq: When I see the POST start, also before I ever reboot it and hold during the entire post. I also have hold down the left, right, and both. [15:47] jnanadarshan, sorry no ideas - i remember having that issue a long time ago, fusion icon sorted it out for me. best of luck. [15:47] It's frustrating when following the docs doesn't work. :P [15:48] anyone know setting a co.cc domain to ip of ubuntu server in my local network takes everyone going to that domain to the host in my local network? [15:48] rignes: just after the post the grub loads, but any time holding shift might work, [15:48] home: do you have a static ip? [15:49] hmm not now [15:49] but i do in univ [15:49] for regexp guys: How come, "rename" uses different notations than "sed"? I especially need the "&" character in the replacement part to adress the extracted pattern like 's/[a-z]*/(&)' [15:49] Galindar, dunno [15:49] you can forward to static ip only, else you might use some sites like dyndns.org [15:49] I need help. I have some 2000 simple HTML files, and I need to search for a single word in all of them. How to automate that? [15:49] hello, I lost my internet connection how can I fix that? [15:50] pksadiq: Odd. So at least I know I am holding down the propper key. That's something. I was doubting myself. I was hoping to find a quick answer (aka, me doing soemthign wrong) before more holidy visitations started but I'll probably have to work on it later. Something else is probably wrong. Thanks for help. [15:50] akshatj: ok ty [15:50] Anyone here familiar with Rhytmbox? :) [15:51] !grub2 | rignes [15:51] rignes: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 === needhelp1 is now known as Guest7864 [15:52] ZykoticK9, ok thats done, now i get i missing a plugin for dvd subpicture decoder === roberto_ is now known as UmCueBomRapado [15:52] PerSeL, what kind of internet connection , ethernet or wifi ? [15:52] Believe me, restoring a blown Grub install is a heck of a lot easier than restoring a windows boot sector. :P [15:52] BluesKaj: wifi it's connected to my router but no internet [15:53] Emry: that's the f-ing truth >.> [15:53] BluesKaj: at least it tells me it's connected [15:53] Guest7864, sorry - i've never heard of that error before??? I've always had to reboot to get DVDs working after that install, so you may want to try that. Best of luck. [15:53] with broadcom wireless chips, why does Ubuntu by default offer the possibility to install the binary-only drivers via "additional drivers", even though the open-source ones are also available and packaged in the repositories? [15:53] :P What sucks even worse though is finding out what happens when you overight the boot sector too often on a cheap hard disk. ^^; [15:54] multi_io: because in a lot of instances, the open source ones don't quite get the job done [15:54] Grujah: try grep "to find" *.html [15:54] !list [15:55] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [15:55] multi_io, wifi is one of those places we still have a long way to go on. Every time we get caught up, some random company goes and changes the API's on us. :P [15:55] andrea_, Is there something specific you are looking for? [15:56] bluefox83: I thought that in the Broadcom case, the OSS driver is just the one that Broadcom released themselves when they opened up their code? [15:56] Emry: ^^^ [15:56] multi_io: that doesn't mean they released everything... [15:56] can anybody recommend a software that is as good as photoshop, illustrator, fireworks and dreamweaver for ubuntu? i'm thinking of trying out ubuntu. :) [15:57] !alternatives [15:57] To change the default applications system-wide, use 'sudo update-alternatives --all' in a terminal. [15:57] multi_io: It also doesn't mean that the OSS version is properly QA'ed. :) Trust me, companies often like to give us steaming piles of crap when they "go open" [15:57] donCams: i recall some web site/articals on 'alternatives to windows apps' - but i use none of those aps. [15:57] donCams: uh...theres lots of software that does the jobs those do, but nothing that's a full-on replacement === UmCueBomRapado is now known as MeuNickeZUUUU [15:58] donCams, Depends on what you are trying to do exactly. Check out Gimp and InkScape. :-) They will do a lot of what Photoshop and Illustrator will do, but the interfaces are not the same. ^_^ [15:58] pksaidiq - thanks, it worked [15:58] donCams, nothing in Ubuntu is that good. You can try getting Photoshop to run under wine, but for those apps you're truthdully better off in Windows. I dual-boot to do my Photoshop stuff [15:58] my wife is a graphics design major, she likes gimp, but she says nothign in linux can fully replace photoshop adaquately [15:58] Emry: cool, i can adapt to new interfaces. just don't wana use wine. if i'm goin to use wine, might as well run windows... :) [15:58] *nothing [15:59] bluefox83, She is right. Gimp WANTS to get there, but........ [15:59] no it doesn't, talk to the folks in #gimp they think it's just fine [15:59] donCams, well the best graphics apps on linux are gimp,,,inkscape,,, mypaint,,, pinta...agave and blender [15:59] donCams, you a webdesigner? 'cause if not, you'll probably find you'll be fine only dual-booting once in a blue-moon [15:59] PerSeL, open a terminal and do: ping google.com , to check if itcan send data over the net [15:59] bluefox83, donCams: To be blunt, the filters in Photoshop are friggen awesom. [15:59] somebody's gotta feed gimp dev. [15:59] * Emry dualboots to run WoW, and that is about it. [16:00] yeah. maybe i'll leave a wee bit of space for windows [16:00] the new Blender is really really good [16:00] WoW and iTunes rather. :) [16:00] for adobe stuff and games [16:00] still prefer 3dSMax, though [16:00] ughhh rt3090 not working ot of the box in ubuntu.... [16:00] @pyth0n, you there??? [16:00] BluesKaj: it tells me it's connected to the router but I do not recive local ip address... to run a terminal there I have to reboot the comp, I'm currently running the live cd [16:01] Emry: i run WoW in wine, and it runs better than my wife's comp and she uses win7 and a better machine than i have ;) [16:01] What can I do to install a package (libz321) on my computer if I can only boot into recovery from grub? [16:01] At this point in time though, Windows is really the platform of choice for Graphics types. Used to be Mac, but all the companies do their core dev for the windows version now, and everything else is just a port. *sighs* [16:01] How do I make it so logrotate will use a date in the archived file? [16:01] yeah, I've been running Steam on wine [16:01] Is there some application that works like guidedog but uses up-to-date libraries? I don't want to run any kde3.5 apps if I don't have to. [16:01] although, I hear that Adobe is thinking for porting an older version of PhotoShop. :P [16:01] reaaly? [16:01] Emry: thought they canceled the idea [16:01] timcarson, I'm pretty sure you can use apt-get while in recovery mode [16:02] bluefox83, I used too, but I have run into issues getting it to play nice with my current install,a nd don't have a lot of time to troubleshoot. :) [16:02] I run PS7 on wine and it's ok [16:02] can someone help me with my webserver? [16:02] Emry: at one point adobe was talking about going 100% open source...that hasn't happened... [16:02] donCams, Not sure. I just heard about it recently. [16:02] but the 'Alt+Drag' thing pisses me off [16:02] Danielc1234, don't ask to ask, just ask :) [16:02] logicallydashing, I don't have an internet connection though. Can I use a cd or something to get the data? [16:02] yeah, I heard that they were going to release their own distro [16:02] O.o [16:02] I doubt Adobe will ever go even partially open. :P If we get photoshop, it will be a binary install. hehehe [16:02] timcarson, well if you know exactly what packages you want, you could put them on a thumb drive and use gdebi to install them [16:02] with all their apps ported... but they canceled. haha [16:02] I setup a webserver which seems to be working, however the php is not. How would I trouble shoot that? === kabiigon is now known as Guest54727 [16:03] donCams, They did release a distro, LONG time ago... Gave up before actually polishing it up though. :P [16:03] hi [16:03] hi guys do you have a way to install irssi on your os [16:03] i have no problem with them offering a linux binary for people who pay the money for photoshop. but ONLY if it's up to par with the windows version of the software [16:03] still to confirm. anyway, thanks for the tips [16:03] PerSeL, is it a laptop or are you using pci-wifi or usb-wifi ...if it's usb wifi then perhaps someone else can help..I haven't been able get any usb wifi working in maverick. [16:03] satdav, sudo apt-get install irssi [16:03] OK [16:03] satdav, irssi even has a windows version now. :) [16:03] I hate win7 aero and classic themes... [16:04] Emry: do you have a link to the windows version send me it on pm [16:04] !irssi [16:04] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help.

Cheese recognizes it but in kopete the devices dropdown is just greyed out. [16:06] gobbe: you here? [16:07] BajK_, kopete is KDE ...yes? [16:07] coz_: it is. [16:07] gobbe: Got the USB Boot working, But Firefox wont use my Wireless i setup on it [16:07] whats the latest build 9.04 I can get upto [16:08] BajK_, mmm I dont have that installed here... even though I am on gnome I generally have all of the kde libraries installed just in case ,, but no I am not sure... unless someone in #kde or #kubuntu might have a suggestion [16:08] satdav: it's recommended you do a dist-upgrade to the next higher version, so 9.10 to 10.04 to 10.10.... [16:09] OK how do I do that [16:09] Another problem. I used dvorak layout for a month or so, and now, whenever I start Ubuntu, I always have USA, Serbian and USA dvorak layout activated. I delete dvorak as I dont need it anymore, but if I shut down the computer and boot Ubuntu again dvorak gets added to the list. [16:09] coz_: they said v4l(2?) support is required by the driver or so to make it work in kopete. [16:09] shingen, dist-upgrade does NOT update versions [16:09] satdav, in terminal sudo update-manager -d [16:09] OK thats [16:09] BajK_, ah mmm hold on [16:10] BajK_, did you check in synaptic package manager or kde's package manager for v4l ? [16:10] shingen, ok will dist-upgrade does upgrade versions of software, but NOT versions of ubuntu [16:10] And the dist-upgrade options are a lot more functional than they were a few years ago. :P [16:10] coz_: yep, libv4l-0 is installed [16:10] Hi [16:10] what are that many users in here doing idle? [16:10] BajK_, oooo [16:10] anyone can help me in c ?

How can I access the drive now? [16:11] Hello, i just blew up my ext4 partition on a extended partion ona a dual boot anyway to recover it? [16:11] satdav, fresh installs make more sense then multiple version upgrades (in my opinion) [16:11] BajK_, got v4l2 installed or just v4l ? [16:11] BajK_, I have no other suggestions... I have difficulties with my logitech webcam on linux in general well ubuntu always... === MeuNickeZUUUU is now known as WRX [16:11] who can help me in c ? === anita is now known as Guest66003 [16:11] intel N10 Vga canot recognize monitor resolution in 10.04 [16:11] gays i can't connect in netcat > anyone help me .. about this [16:11] Papyros, just as the question. [16:12] timcarson, check if there is a /media/ or /mnt/ if not you may need to mount it still. ^_^ [16:12] ZykoticK9: my host only offers up to 9.04 [16:12] Papyros: given how broad a topic that is... you need to be more concise [16:12] !ask | Papyros [16:12] Papyros: 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. :-) [16:12] BluesKaj and coz_: If I enter "v4l" as search term there are packages presented dov4l, dv4l, gambas2-gb-v4l, libpt-blabla-v4l, libpt-1.10.10-plugins-v4l2, libv4l-0 (which is the only one installed of this list), libv4l-dev, libvideo-capture-v4l-perl, v4l-conf and xserver-xorg-video-v4l [16:12] shit [16:12] satdav, yes I agree with ZykoticK9 if you can...back up what you need from your current in stall.. download the ubuntu version you want....burn it... and install it [16:12] look this code .. [16:12] http://pastebin.com/TG0j6Fbe [16:12] can't run it [16:12] satdav, if you want an easy download use the minimal install cd [16:12] satdav, 9.04 is unsupported! find a better host! [16:12] timcarson, you can usually just cd to it, it'll be something like /media/disk, or some other folder in /media [16:12] OK I will contact the host to update it at their side [16:13] well to update the datacenter [16:13] bay [16:13] Does ^ work for exponents in C?

The problem is: the command 'ruby' tells me, that ruby is not installed. command 'ruby1.9.1 [16:20] ' works fine [16:20] home, oups yes.. i will try the pow [16:20] _sl33k, scroll down a bit and downlad the linux tar.gz [16:20] PhoenixSTF: others in the channel may be able to help. I have other things going on. write up a page/pastebin page. with fdisk -l outputm and details of what you have done to the hd. and what you are expecting. [16:20] Papyros, it compiles on mine [16:20] Papyros, so 0 is added [16:21] Daikoku: that sounds like a problem [16:21] now: how can i make "ruby" linking to "ruby1.9.1"?

[16:21] HowardTheDuck: i don't think that it is too complicated but as i am new to ubuntu, i don't know how to make 'ruby' link to 'ruby1.9.1' [16:22] Papyros, it compiles on mine (the first code you gave).. i havnt followed the conversation though so dont know of changes :) [16:22] Daikoku: thats a shame maybe i can help you out [16:22] home, did you run it ? with pow ?

[16:28] Galindar: your gpu has a separate temperature sensor than your ambient (in the laptop) or the cpu (on the heatsink)... so you might have 3 different temperature readings, depending on where they are [16:28] Papyros, oh.. 32 bit eh? [16:28] yeah whats compile [16:28] sudo update=manager -d [16:28] thats what I put [16:29] rs0832, yes.. [16:29] Papyros, the s=s + pow ... line is executed only 500 times because you increase i twice, once in i++ and once in i=i+1; [16:29] satdav, it should be sudo update-manager -d [16:29] Papyros, maybe thats is then.. k carry on :) === sanchaz-away is now known as sanchaz [16:29] hallo [16:29] HowardTheDuck, compiling means converting source code, to 0's and 1's [16:29] satdav: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu9.04-jaunty-jackalope-to-9.10-karmic-koala-desktop-and-server walks you through gui or server upgrade process [16:30] getting [16:30] Grujah, yes sure.. do you know how can i find the sum , 1^1 + 2^2 + ... 1000^1000 ? and find the number in my computer.. ?

See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [16:32] HowardTheDuck, right click the tar.gz and "Extract here" then open the folder and look for a README or INSTALL file and read through it [16:32] !compile | HowardTheDuck [16:32] HowardTheDuck: Compiling software from source?

[16:34] how do I know if I am using a valid version of ubuntu [16:34] satdav: trz executing "do-release-update", if the command is not installed, apt-get install update-manager-core and try again. that should do the trick. [16:34] name -r [16:35] uname -r [16:35] wrong [16:36] satdav, why would you think its not valid? [16:36] home, did you find anything ? [16:36] satdav: well, is it working? [16:37] Galindar: doing a quick search, seems 7000m shouldn't be over 83c when overclocked & full load, so that's definitely a problem... if it's a passive heatsink, it's probably a bad mating... if it's an active heatsink, the fan is dead and/or it's a bad mating... [16:37] compdoc: here i am, still something? [16:37] its updating them the now [16:38] OK [16:38] nice,nice [16:38] I had two nics in my system. One was onboard, and one is a PCI card. I disabled the onboard, and I want the PCI to be eth0, but the system sees it as eth1. also, it says its 100baseT, when it should be 1000baseT [16:38] shingen: is that a simple fix? or do i need a new gpu? [16:38] shingen: sorry this is my first laptop.. havent played inside them ever. [16:39] any way to clear out the network config at start over? [16:39] at=and [16:39] why at=and? [16:39] Galindar: http://tim.id.au/laptops/acer/aspire%205520%205220.pdf <--- take a look at the service manual... you might be able to put some new thermal compound on the existing gpu heatsink and fix your problem [16:39] this is a busy channel === sanchaz is now known as sanchaz-away [16:40] shingen: awesome! tyvm for your help. very much appreciated!

[16:50] hello everyone. from time to time I can't open any website, and I can fix that either by restarting router(adsl modem) or restart, login to windows, and then get back to ubuntu again.

For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [16:51] Milossh, if it happens same time on both your ubuntu machines, it's problem with your adls router [16:51] What time lapse software is there for ubuntu? [16:51] TMKCodes_: how come then that if I boot windows and then boot back ubuntu, it works agin?

[16:53] juniour_: what part of you missed [16:54] so, only the services I already am connected to, such as skype [16:54] gobbe give me again [16:54] so, it's probably something with dns [16:54] juniour_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [16:54] how can I test that? [16:54] Dr_Willis: the closest thing I've seen to a fix has been to install an older version of the nvidia driver. I think it was 96.something. Are those older drivers missing any sort of functionality in particular? [16:54] Milossh: when your connection stops working, do cat /etc/resolv.conf and try to ping one of the dns-servers [16:54] it just did [16:54] let me try [16:54] blz: possibly CUDA support [16:54] ubuntuuser: it's in maverick proposed if you want it now... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/2.6.35.24.28/+publishinghistory [16:54] blz: i saw some plymouht thweaks just the other day.

[16:59] like an alpha or beta? [16:59] ok, I did [17:00] do I need a restart of some daemon or something? [17:00] shingen: i see 2 possible.. both are under the long copper bar..

[17:01] oh, ok. so now, I'm overriding my router's dns's and using my own?

[18:53] can a bash if then else be in a single line? [18:53] newbie question i know [18:53] I noticed yesterday when coping files from my ubuntu machine to my windows machine that it was very random on speed. I was coping over 175MB avi files and it mostly copied at 2MB/s and take a couple minute. Then there were times it would copy the whole file over in about 5 seconds. What could be causing it to be so random? how can I get it to be the fast speed consistently? [18:53] skorv : yea [18:54] skorv: just recall the command and you should see it in a single line already... [18:54] chills518 : Run ifconfig -a on both your client and server to check for line errors (errors, dropped, overruns and frame) [18:54] skorv: its all whitespace to the bashshell, the spacing in the shell is more for human readability [18:55] i'm typing like this (probably wrong) if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then HOST1="0" else HOST1="1" fi [18:55] Hellooo [18:55] You guys know the default shortcut of ctrl alt t to bring up the terminal [18:55] comes after a ping [18:55] How do i change that (i want to to open up xterm instead) [18:55] HOST1 is var [18:55] deek0146: i believe in preferred applications, set xterm as yoru preferred terminal emulator [18:56] is there any reason that putting my ssh on a port other than 22 would slow it down? [18:56] Thanks [18:56] skorv: semicolons before the else and fi i think. like i said, just type it in multiple lines then use the up arrow to see how you would have to type it in a single line [18:56] cgcardona: no [18:56] thanks niella [18:57] scaine: client and server... meaning ubuntu machine and windows machine? sorry very new to this...

I installed smbfs and then setup the connections in my fstab for a permanent share to the windows machine... not sure if that was the best way.. that was just the way I found online which actually worked for me quickly. [19:03] aphrek: right-click on the menu bar and click "Add to Panel" and look for System Monitor [19:03] sspc: i would recomend that you try running the cd live... that will at least give u the idea if the computer is up and running [19:04] chills518, That's fine...

It uses a kernel module I found on the internet that disables the ATI graphics card since it doesnt make sense using the Intel while the ATI is still running and draining power. So you will never reach your 8 hours of battery life AND will have bad graphics performance.

I think you can enable both cards and have them running and it should be possible having separate X servers for each of the cards [19:26] BajK: the mainboard has Matrox integrated ... A PNY NVIDIA card was added [19:26] windows liveusb even.. dunno [19:27] Skaperen: ah so you use them as two graphics cards for like two monitors? [19:27] okay that's a totally different use case than my script is designed for (switching cards for notebook power saving :P) [19:27] and since I don't have such a configuration, it's hard to test this for me but I'll look forward to finding a solution for your case.

[19:48] jahrra: I interpreted his meaning in the context of my command to configure eth0 then have him check it again with ifconfig -a [19:48] Derek_Roberts, the thing is that you shouldn't have installed ndiswrapper.. madwifi is a legacy driver and should only be used if you wanted a specific functionality that you cannot obtain from ath5k which should come standard with ubuntu since like 8.06 [19:48] Skaperen:no when i want to enable that my graphical desktop can't be shown an when i use command startx in console ubuntu can't show my graphical desktop!

[19:50] sander_m__, the XXXX format specifies the type of disk it is or maybe the drive.. I'd try 1440 or something like that [19:50] vince__: but what I'm interested in is whether the IP address shows up after configuring it, and if "RUNNING" shows up with the cable connecting it to something active [19:50] OffSet: deleted how? [19:50] Skaperen, yes I did [19:50] OffSet, u should have the main power in when installing,, [19:50] sander tried mdir command? [19:50] Skaperen, Nope, no ip adress nor any running showing up [19:50] vince__: at this point if I had that situation, I'd be reverting the kernel to an older version I knew it had been working with [19:50] So I'm installing nvidia drivers from the vendor provided .run file and they work fine after installing, however after rebooting I need to drop down to a TTY and install the drivers again before X will start... Any ideas why that is? [19:51] OffSet, first things first,, what windows are you using?? [19:51] wulu: Can't open /dev/fd0: Device or resource busy. Cannot initialize 'A:'. It's not mounted. I checked. [19:52] Derek_Roberts, the thing is if you have installed ndiswrapper, ndiswrapper expects you to have the inf file along with its accompanying dependencies such as sys files to be loaded prior to the driver (ndiswrapper) being loaded into kernel [19:52] So I'm installing nvidia drivers from the vendor provided .run file and they work fine after installing, however after rebooting I need to drop down to a TTY and install the drivers again before X will start... Any ideas why that is? [19:52] hey guys ... just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my old fijitsu siemens ... and it can't find my internal display ... showing it as unknown and I'm stuck with a resolution that leaves out half my desktop - any idea how I can fix that? thanks [19:52] trojan_spike: the Windows version will not affect Ubuntu installation, if there is enough free disk space already available. Windows support is in ##windows. [19:52] im using win 7 ultimate edition [19:52] sander_m__: try all of the /dev/fd0uXXXX devices === doug__ is now known as Guest86542 [19:52] Skaperen:can you help me? [19:52] * Skaperen has no floppy drives on any machine, home or work, to test [19:52] psycho_oreos, How do i do that? [19:52] mneptok, yes i know,, i know what im saying [19:52] vince__: really strange. before reverting to an older kernel, i would 'sudo ifconfig eth0 down' and 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up' give a rey [19:53] *try [19:53] Derek_Roberts, which version or release of ubuntu do you have running right now? [19:53] taher: it's beyond my knowledge ... I know too little about video drivers [19:53] OffSet: did you check the md5sum of the i686 .iso you dowloaded, burn at the slowest speed possible, and run the media check from the Ubuntu boot menu? [19:53] OffSet, have u got the installation disk?? You'll want to fix windows and be able to boot into that.. [19:53] taher: especially the proprietary ones [19:53] taher, chances are your video chipset/card isn't supported [19:53] jeffwyeh*: isn't that excessive? [19:53] bogdomania helped me install java, bogdomania is awesome lol [19:54] psycho_oreos< I have 10.10 but i am running in Windows right now as my wifi in ubuntu does not work. [19:54] trojan_spike / OffSet: fixing Windows issues is not a topic for this channel. [19:54] hzllo [19:54] mneptok, give it a rest,, its a ubutnu problem [19:54] thats the problem i cant acces the menu of the disk [19:54] My video card driver is not supported? [19:54] Derek_Roberts, ok what I would suggest you to do is to uninstall ndiswrapper.. and then uninstall madwifi if its installed through something like jockey/hardware drivers or something like that [19:54] brothers, how do to resolve this expression :( [19:54] update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/bison.yacc to provide /usr/bin/yacc (yacc) in auto mode. [19:54] is it correctly understood that if no namespace in a tag is specified, the rules defined in the xsd pointed to by the noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute is used? [19:55] Skaperen: Tried them all. Either I get " mount: /dev/fd0uXXX is not a valid block device" or I get "mount: /dev/fd0uXXX: can't read superblock" [19:55] taher, probably.. pastebin (not paste) your `lspci -nnk' output [19:55] jahrra, Skaperen , i've had no luck so far...i've removed some packages just before the update, do you think that one of these could be responsible ? http://bayimg.com/DabePAadn [19:55] am doing : update-alternative --auto /bin/bison.yacc but dont work :( [19:55] psycho_oreos,Alrighty i will give that a shot thanks. [19:55] sander_m__: try them all with the "wc -c" command (name of device after the -c with a space apart) [19:55] sander_m__, you might need to specify the fstype.. like `mount -t vfat /dev/fd0u1440 /media/floppy' === ozzloy_ is now known as ozzloy [19:56] OffSet, see my PM [19:56] trojan_spike: this channel's policies of Ubuntu support only are not mandated by me. but they are the policies. === Guest86542 is now known as Jef91 [19:56] Derek_Roberts, once you get those set, check to see if you have ath5k attached to atheros card via `lspci -nnk' and then `lsmod| grep ath5k' [19:57] vince__: possibly, but if eth0 shows up in the list, you should be able to manually make it work with ifconfig [19:57] Anyone, 'fan always on problem', much appreciated. I was hoping that adding acpi_osi=Linux to GRUB CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. But no luck. Googleing show many people have the problem with 10.10 and various brands of laptops [19:57] Hi im folowing a installation guide who tells me to do "lzm2dir" But Ubuntu does not seem to accept that as a command. Is there any way to fix this? [19:57] vince__: since that fails, the kernel isn't handling it right ... possible network manager hosed it, but unlikely [19:57] DominoDrive, you need to install the program first [19:57] psycho_oreos: I tried them all with `-t msdos` [19:57] lol [19:58] vince__: what Skaperen says. although none of the listed packages sticks to my eye [19:58] psycho_oreos as i understood this is a part of the installation of the program [19:58] vince__: can you disable wireless and reboot to see if that makes a difference? (otherwise I would try the older kernel version) [19:58] sander_m__, I don't think msdos is a valid fstype.. you can verify that via `grep msdos /proc/filesystems| wc -l` [19:59] psycho_oreos or do u mean that the "lzm2dir" rewuiers a program? [19:59] mneptok, and when they run side by side and the problem occurred from ubuntu ,, which OS is to blame? [19:59] DominoDrive, well lzm isn't provided to ubuntu by default but can be installed separately so you might want to consider using something like apt-get/aptitude for example to install the package which provides lzm2dir === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [19:59] Skaperen, jahrra , I'll try to reboot, brb === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [20:00] trojan_spike: it doesn't matter. diagnosing and fixing Windows issues is off-topic for this channel. [20:00] psycho_oreos do u know any packade that provides it? [20:00] DominoDrive, not off my head, but you might want to try using `apt-cache search foo' [20:01] mneptok, no its not [20:01] psycho_oreos: msdos is a valid filesystem on 10.10 LieCD (your command returns "1") [20:01] some day I need to collect and clean up my sysadmin command tools, and make a package of them ... they are useful for diagnosing some types of issues, such as networking [20:01] mneptok, its a common problem.. [20:01] trojan_spike: please /join #ubuntu-ops to discuss this further. [20:01] Skaperen: `wc -c` on all devices either returns "No such device or address" or "Input/output error" [20:02] sander_m__: is there a pattern to which ones have the I/O error? [20:04] anyone know of a good yahoo chat client for ubuntu? one that might support file sending? [20:05] hello. does anyone know where I can find a full list of countries in which using openssh-server is illegal? [20:05] I want to use it to do pair programming [20:05] siddhion: google for "openssh north korea" [20:06] hmmm !! Is using openssh-server illegal in some countries ? [20:06] I have copied 10.10-desktop-i386 image to my flash disk with dd, but it is not bootable [20:06] Skaperen: The I/O error ones are: fd0u1120, fd0u1600, fd0u1722, fd0u1760, fd0u1920, fd0720 and fd0u820. The other ones are "No such device or address" [20:06] is there any suggestions? [20:06] I fail to boot it [20:06] Skaperen: I don't zee a pattern in that [20:06] duron23: rumor is that it is now illegal, by side effect, in france [20:06] Eren: check bios [20:06] What could have gone wrong and any ideas how to fix it, when I open Places->any folder rythmbox opens. [20:06] aeon-ltd: double checked with different computers [20:07] sander_m__: repeat the effort w/o a floppy in the drive [20:07] Eren: md5 sum check the iso, doo it again follwing the guide? [20:07] *do [20:07] Skaperen, I did and no obvious list came up [20:07] security becoming illegal in some countries, can't belive :( [20:07] Eren, use unetbootin [20:07] anyway that was good info to know [20:08] aeon-ltd: md5 is also correct [20:08] Skaperen, jahrra I'm back. I started with an older kernel, auto eth0 show up in the network manager but won't connect [20:08] duron23: was happening as a result of laws being made that require certain backdoors, of which openssh will not have [20:08] sander tried that already? sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/ [20:08] Skaparen: the possibility to change IP-adress/subnetmask via 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.12.26 netmask 255.255.255.0'-command was new to me. can i also change it back to dhcp the same way (and if, how?or will i need to modify /etc/network/interfaces? [20:09] ok, but shouldn't dd be enough? [20:09] In my Ubuntu 10.04 VPS I need to see al my running processes, including daemons, how can I see them? [20:09] wulu, I believe sander_m__ has already tried that [20:09] why should I use unetbootin [20:09] vince__: the default network manager doesn't know how to make both networks route properly at the same time [20:09] oooh, yeah for the same reason India was above to ban blackberry service, Now I understand [20:09] k didn follow it all :D [20:09] Eren, that would only work if the file you downloaded is an actual img file not iso.. iso and img formats are quite different [20:09] maybe its disabled in bios [20:09] vince__: the big question, though, is does an IP address show up on eth0 now ... or after doing a manual config [20:09] psycho_oreos: oh.. [20:10] Does anyone know why I can't configure my Verizon Wireless Blackberry Bluetooth DUN using NetworkManager? I can pair the phone fine but when I configure the DUN Verizon isn't an option. And if I try to do it manually it asks for an APN [20:10] vince__: I've had to disable network manager and manually configure everything (using a script) to make multiple network interfaces work the right way concurrently [20:10] Eren, also file can also differentiate the files as well for extra verification.. iso doesn't even provide a logical bootloader that runs off at asm level [20:11] Skaperen, Alright then, I'll disable wifi then try eth0 [20:11] vince__: I'd make a network manager of my own, but I don't do GUI programming === roberto_ is now known as WRX [20:11] Does Ubuntu support hardware raid 0 yet? [20:11] psycho_oreos: then I am trying unetbootin [20:11] how do I make other users like sudo [20:11] I'm really sorry to bother you, i'm no expert...not even a native english speaker so I can be confused sometimes [20:11] hello, I've discovered an increasing amount of brake-in attempts at my ubuntu machiner. The only running service is openssh. Can you please suggest ways, how to tighten security? [20:11] satdav, you'll need to use visudo [20:11] vince__: do you have a DHCP server active on your LAN? [20:12] pietr101, you might want to try something like fail2ban [20:12] helo [20:12] Skaperen, How can I know ? [20:12] if its an hardware raid, why would the os be interested in that [20:13] vince__: is it a LAN at home or a LAN at work? [20:13] psycho_oreo: ok. btw, and how about a custom firewall. which simple one do you recommend? [20:13] I am get crazy because after 3 days y have no success to create a bluetooth PAN network between 2 linux box. [20:13] Skaperen, home :) [20:13] I want ot do in commnad line, not with graphic tools [20:13] vince__: did you set up all the computers on your home LAN? [20:13] pietr101, the built-in iptables is powerful enough, it just needs to be configured correctly [20:13] Skaperen, yes [20:14] vince__: you have a router to the internet? It might have DHCP enabled on it [20:14] psycho_oreo: are they hard to learn to configure? [20:14] Skaperen, oh right, I know what you mean, yes it's enabled [20:15] vince__: now can the LAN reach that router by a wired or bridged connection? [20:15] pietr101, nothing's hard if you are willing to learn.. but then there's always various apps that you can install and configure iptables easily [20:16] psycho_oreo: i'm more like a programmer, but i guess it's worth to take a look at. ;-) [20:16] !clone [20:16] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:17] Skaperen, theoritically i can but in my case it doesn't [20:18] pietr101, you won't regret learning it :) it may seem hard initially but ultimately it becomes a very good learning habit due to the complexity. Its complexity is probably the equivalent to dare I say *bsd's ipfw === roberto_ is now known as WRX [20:18] how do i remap keys? [20:18] vince__: in theory is probably enough ... it probably is not working if "ifconfig eth0" does not show "RUNNING" state === drmrhorse is now known as DrMrHorse [20:19] on this page which logs are for this room? http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/12/26/ [20:19] vince__: hardware issues might exist now, too ... or kernel driver [20:19] hey all. everytime i maximize flash videos in ubuntu, the video freezes but the audio continues. im using chrome. any suggestions? [20:19] i'm using a older kernel now [20:20] psycho_oreo: thank you. i'll go look at it right away [20:20] vince__: boot into a LiveCD (e.g. "try ubuntu ..." mode on the CD), open a terminal, and see if you can make it work there [20:20] vince__: that should be the oldest kernel version of the ubuntu version [20:20] scratch that, not freezing now. but it does sometimes [20:21] i'm starting to think it'd be quicker to have a fresh install :/ === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees === red-_ is now known as red [20:21] vince__: I was thinking that, too ... BUT ... suggest the LiveCD test first to save the hassle [20:22] pietr101, you might also want to run something like IDS such as snort if resources permit.. and if anything else I suggest hardening linux kernel [20:22] psycho_oreo: what do you mean by hardening kernel? [20:22] vince__: if the LiveCD can't make it work, I'd focus on a hardware issue ... even a bad cable can do it [20:23] Is there a way to check if a program is available in the repository by commandline? [20:23] psycho_oreo: something like SElinux? [20:23] vince__: our pile of bad cables at work has about 20 in there now ... over a year of doing it [20:23] pietr101, well more than just that, hardening the kernel by patching the kernel for various security flaws, etc [20:24] Skaperen, jahrra Thank you for your help, I think I'll go for a clean install, it'll be neat and quick :) [20:24] vince__: well at least you get to practice the art of the install :) [20:24] * Skaperen has done many re-installs === OneManBySelf is now known as AssangeKiller [20:24] Skaperen, I'm already a master at that art :) [20:24] vince__: good luck ;) [20:25] Actually, it's more interesting than a Win install :D [20:25] * Skaperen even has an rsync server to add on all his cool stuff after an install [20:25] karthick87: i would go with the '-s'-switch for apt-get, e.g. 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk -s' [20:25] psycho_oreo: well I regularly install ubuntu upgrades. that includes kernel. but that may not be enough. or is it? [20:26] after I do an install, I use rsync to load a ton of my files ... some of which are scripts that load more packages, etc [20:26] karthick87, apt-cache policy [20:26] so I can get a machine up to where I want it to be fairly quickly [20:27] Skaperen, could always use remastersys [20:27] pietr101, well it might but if you are really concerned, I'd subscribe to various security mailing-list and trying to pentest your machine against specified flaws [20:28] hello, can someone help with choice of a graphics card? I have interest to run a 64-bit AMD-based system. It supports Crossfire, so I am leaning towards ATI boards. I have used ATI graphics before and have to use the binary drivers to do what I want. Are the binary drivers good and stable for recent ATI cards? [20:28] mongy: could, but my system involves more than just Ubuntu [20:28] blasphemy! [20:29] hehe [20:29] where I can find what the command line statement is to open any application already installed on my Ubuntu machine? [20:29] we have a multi-distro environment at work ... centos, debian, fedora, slackware, ubuntu [20:30] tab [20:30] psycho_oreo: sometimes I test various exploits. etc. look up exploits for version of my software, etc. can you recommend some of those security mailing lists? (i guess something like packetstormsecurity, nmap, securityfocus) [20:31] mint ati drivers dont do crossfire on linux [20:31] and arent stable at all: [20:31] Does Ubuntu work on a Hardware Raid 0? [20:31] pietr101, I'd check backtrack-linux forums for a list of security mailing-lists/websites/RSS feeds etc [20:32] adrian_kx thank you. so going with nvidia card wouldn't disadvantage me at all [20:33] Having problems getting fastboot and advanced devices to work when trying to flash phone in Ubuntu 10.04 from terminal [20:33] !vissudo [20:33] psycho_oreo: will do. actually i know backtrack a bit. I've been playing with it for a while [20:33] Meant to say adb devices [20:33] I'm having an issue with text input hanging. Anyone have any ideas? This just started today, I didn't change anything to my knowledge. [20:33] does anyone know the info on how to set up vis sudo [20:35] anyone know of a channel that deals with OTA HDTV stuff? ATSC tunners, Antennas, etc [20:36] is anyone familier with upgrading to virtualbox 4.0 from 3.2.12? [20:36] satdav, what are you trying to do? === sockpuppet is now known as Guest45334 [20:36] scorch__, remove the old one install the 4 and load the .vdi still in the .virtualbox HD [20:37] what is the best way to set up ubuntu in a virtual machine to accept incoming ssh requests from outside the network [20:37] meaning, do i forward the port to the host ip address or will it actually work with the vm ip [20:37] adrian_kx: what I am interested in is running a pretty modern system with IOMMU. I have dual monitors. Want to run virtualbox/vmware/somesuch with Win7 as a gues OS, and have two virtual monitors in fullscreen or seamless mode. this has been working with newer versions of vmware/vbox. I tried in on a machine with ati graphics, and the open source drivers wouldn't work to give it an extra display. when I switched to the binary [20:37] drivers it worked [20:37] hi [20:38] nit-wit: trying to setup sudo accounts so I can use znc and irssi [20:38] psycho_oreo: btw. do you have experience with installing and configuring snort? [20:38] satd [20:38] satdav, http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/visudo.man.html [20:39] nit-wit: cant i just do an apt-get install? [20:39] there is a weird bug: I did a find query with ubottu for a package and it listed libsigc++-2.0.-0c2a as the package that contains the file I want. File does not exist in the ubuntu package archives. [20:40] scorch__, there isn't a upgrade from the old to the new, are you using the puel version from the oracle web site [20:40] do you not have znc pro installed on the servers [20:42] scorch__, if you want usb working install this one, after just removing the 3.12 http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [20:43] scorch: what I have done is install a PPA into my sources list [20:44] nit-wit:ok thanks [20:44] Is there a way for someone living in India to obtain ubuntu stickers? [20:45] I added a NAS device to the network and it appears in Places in networks, and I can drill down into it there. What I need to do is use a directory on it for simplebackup, but local directory, ssh and ftp don't apply ... how do I map a directory on the NAS to a something I can use? [20:46] if I am sudoer on my ubuntu and I want to create a new user who has the exact same priv as I do is the syntax 'sudo adduser username sudoers' ? [20:47] Yep it works now ! [20:47] hm what's wrong now? the /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch does no longer exist?! o.O [20:47] j_ayen_green smbmount //nasname/sharename /mnt [20:47] hello how can I do on line 23...I have already installed starDict and created a folder/directory named: shabdanjali [20:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/547791/ [20:47] scorch__, the removal of 3.12 will leave the original virtuals there the best thing to do is make sure they are off and removed without deleting then install Vbox 4 and build the new ones using the original still in place HD's [20:47] Anyone have a way I can tell exactly what video card I have without taking the case apart? [20:48] FishFace, via lshw, lshal, lspci command through command line [20:48] psycho_oreos: Thanks :) [20:48] wulu: after I do that is it a folder in /mnt? [20:49] files which I have on my desktop to the said directory/folder... i have alreday created the folder [20:49] FishFace, no worries [20:50] how do i uninstall an application that i installed using wine? [20:51] j_ayen_green if it works, it should be mounted there - just try it, maybe you need username & pw [20:52] luxurymode, there is an uninstall software option in the wine menu [20:52] got it. thank you, sir. [20:53] i also installed ffdshow codecs. theres no uninstall option for that in wine. any idea how to remove? [20:53] nevermind, there is an uninstall option [20:53] thanks [20:53] how can i tell which windows apps will play nice with linux and which wont? [20:55] Man, ATI driver programmers (fglrx, not the open one) are assholes -.- [20:55] wulu: perfect. is there an equivalent to mtab for smbmount so I can automate it? [20:55] ubuntu!!!

[21:24] no not like that i am duel booting and my computer has more space [21:24] but ubuntu cant access it i used wubi [21:25] sion: reinstalling would not be best not yet anyway, update first to see if it changes if not, copy all important files you need from your /home and then reinstall and update to latest before moving anything back [21:25] <[thor]> Tbruff13: so you created a partition, and have used up the free space there? [21:25] sion, open package manager (synaptic) / scroll to meta packages , and choose to reinstall ubuntu desktop (i think its that,, u might be KDE) , but reinstall still [21:25] Sorry Tbruff13 my reply was for induz [21:25] yes thor how do i am it to where i can have more space on this portion [21:26] <[thor]> Tbruff13: gparted is the graphical partition editor [21:26] i tried it will not work [21:26] it gives me an error [21:26] Thanks :) [21:27] I get Error saying i dont have permission when i try to extarct those files [21:27] Tbruff13: you said you used wubi, right? wubi usually uses some kind of virtual disk *inside* of the windows-partition [21:27] BernardV, ok, was just me then [21:27] <[thor]> induz: you need to be logged in to the correct user. [21:27] okay but how do i make that disk bigger [21:28] <[thor]> induz: i have a feeling that your brother downloaded those files, and you are using your own account, or a guest account to access his box?

[23:20] robmillernow_ is the flash drive the only USB device in?

[23:21] cgcardona: you can also use "sudo -s" ... it's similar to sudo -su but stays the "ubuntu way" [23:22] robmillernow_: was the windows pc not usable anymore? [23:22] induz: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:22] we watin 4 you kukenifittan , we luv [23:22] the windows PC is only usable as a shell upon which Ubuntu can be put... [23:22] dnivra: so to create a new user I 'sudo adduser username' - then how do I give that user sudo privilege? [23:22] it's really useless as a practical machine in any fashion. [23:23] cgcardona, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Users has the command :). [23:23] robmillernow_: have you confirmed whether or not it will boot up on your macbook?

[23:23] if you add a user to the "admin" group, they will be able to sudo [23:23] hmm. interesting question. that would require a restart and holding down Alt to force boot from the USB, right? [23:23] LogicallyDashing, or add them to group admin [23:23] robmillernow_: yes. [23:24] i'll go check and come right back. [23:24] robmillernow_: I'll also make a suggestion: the easiest way to make the usb system, is actually the windows way. [23:24] thanks already, guys. [23:24] Maahes i was about to say that, its ezpz on windows [23:24] * skraito say hi all [23:25] cawnc4: mainly because the pendrive linux installer includes an easy creation tool for casper-rw [23:25] KM0201: I doubt you will be able to help me now...

[23:25] Romeria: well duh.. why are you using such an old distro?.. it's WAY past end of life.. you need to download 10.04 or 10.10 and install them. [23:25] I have a problem with connecting a phone with USB [23:25] some page says I have to recompile the kernel [23:26] can that really be true? [23:26] KM0201: how would I do that??

[23:26] Romeria: download 10.10, burn it, and install it... didnt you install 5.10 [23:26] ? [23:26] KM0201: I found the the disc btw, thats why Im using it. [23:26] Samsung Galaxy S [23:26] Maahes - and yes, if i had a Windows machine, i'd've already done that -- but i really do feel like i followed the obtuse Ubuntu instructions well. [23:26] can you install ubuntu on a tablet? [23:26] Romeria, go to ubuntu.com and grab the latest distro. dont even try to do an upgrade installation, 5.10 is too old [23:26] robmillernow_ did it work on your macbook? [23:26] *latest version [23:26] kukenifittan: go to the USB settings on your device....change it to asks which you want :D [23:27] hi all. [23:27] Romeria: well, that release is about 5yrs old.. it'd be a lot better to download 10.04 or 10.10 [23:27] Ryu_Kurisu I did that but it doesn't work [23:27] Romeria dont do update managers as they are fond to bugs [23:27] Maahes - cawnc4 - trying macbook boot now - brb [23:27] Romeria: do you have a blank CD you can burn, on the working computer?

[23:27] having a slight with postfix and dovecot it will deliver mail localy but not to anywhere else.. [23:27] it works on Windows [23:27] Ryu_Kurisu yes === leff_ is now known as LeFF [23:27] problem even [23:27] KM0201: So all I need to do is burn 10.10, and put it in there, and the install should start? Or do I need to wipe the computer? [23:27] romeria - km0201 - wouldnt it be easier to use a USB flash drive, if you have one [23:28] romeria [23:28] wait sorry [23:28] cawnc4: sure it would, but not all computers boot USB's.... [23:28] romeria download ubuntu 10.10 and burn the iso to disk then reboot and boot to disk and set your ubuntu there [23:28] km0201 what are you running? i love old computers! [23:28] Romeria, first create a backup of your data [23:29] cawnc4: what i'm running is irrelevant, i didn't say i don't like old pc's, i just said, somme old pc's can't boot a USB device [23:29] woops ment the other guy [23:29] kukenifittan: it seems as if there is no binary driver avaialable yet, which means yes, you would have to recompile and add the kernel module [23:29] Maahes that sounds like a pai n [23:29] What do you get on your Galaxy when you connect...a green android asking to connect? [23:29] And as for recompiling a kernel....um, you'll need to read some tutorials for a couple of weeks minimum. [23:29] kukenifittan: What do you get on your Galaxy when you connect...a green android asking to connect? [23:29] Romeria: ? [23:30] Ryu_Kurisu yes [23:30] but the phone doesn't show up as a mount point [23:30] not in Konqueror either [23:30] Well, I also hear you can have this newest Ubuntu and windows running on one machine..? [23:30] kukenifittan: Does it change to orange when you confirm? [23:30] romeria: dualboot [23:30] Romeria: yes... it's called a dual boot.. [23:30] Romeria: yes. You can do that with all ubuntu versions [23:30] or wubi i beleive [23:30] Ryu_Kurisu it asks me if I want to connect the usb storage to the computer [23:30] And yes using wubi you can install and run ubuntu inside of windows [23:30] and I press that button [23:30] romeria: run wubi and install inside windows [23:31] I personally don't recommend it [23:31] but from what I have heard it runs better dual booted [23:31] don't use wubi.. unless you're just dying to wreck a system [23:31] because you cant hibernate and such [23:31] cawnc4: it does. [23:31] and the phone seems to be ready but the computer like isn't responding [23:31] then installing inside windows [23:31] why would you install ubuntu in windows btw? [23:31] windows isn't open-source [23:31] idk but some people do... [23:31] or free [23:31] kukenifittan: which version are you running of android and ubuntu? === roberto_ is now known as WRX [23:31] cawnc4 i did [23:31] I use Ubuntu because I want my software to be open-source [23:31] kukenifittan: you don't have to partition your drive, and you basically are installing ubuntu in a vm to try it out on windows [23:31] hate to ask here, but is there a specific channel for virtualbox help? [23:32] even though it's a pain compared to Windows [23:32] naturally [23:32] AnggaDj98 how did it work for you? [23:32] hi i just downloaded a theme, wnt into my apereance setting tried to install it but an error massage popped up saying, cant move directory over directory, how do i fix this? [23:32] Ryu_Kurisu Android is 2.2 [23:32] * Maahes finds ubuntu to be less of a pain than windows [23:32] cawnc4 what do you mean/ [23:32] let me see what version of Ubuntu it is [23:32] Maahes lol then you're in luck [23:32] miststlkr, #vbox [23:32] I've worked with this for like 5 hours [23:32] miststlkr, #vbox. and you should have perhaps asked that in #freenode. [23:32] ignore me... that was a stupid question [23:32] on Windows it worked perfectly from the start =( [23:32] AnggaDj98 was it noticably slow compaired to a dualbooted system since it also had to run windows software [23:32] allo guys [23:33] i used vista for 2 years and it takes 20 minutes to boot and 10 minutes to shutdown [23:33] kukenifittan: that's because they wrote windows drivers, and not really linux drivers. [23:33] lawl vista [23:33] I didn't need drivers on Windows though [23:33] vista sucks lol [23:33] ookay - no, this drive does NOT boot on my Macbook either [23:33] help anyone? [23:33] nice ubuntu: 50 seconds to boot and 6 seconds to shutdown [23:33] dnivra: thanks, #virtualbox forwarded me there anyway... I don't know why I didn't try that first [23:33] <[thor]> :D ubuntu boots for me in 15 seconds [23:33] <[thor]> yay for SSD [23:33] comparing vista to any operating system other than WIndows ME, should be a crime [23:33] miststlkr, :). np. [23:33] hi I have ubuntu installed on my laptop but grub doesnt work anymore, I bootet from cd, what can I do to repair grub? [23:33] yea bout 15 seconds aswell [23:33] 1 minute 20 seconds and 10 seconds boot&shutdown with dualboot [23:33] robmillernow: Try remaking the drive using the "from ubuntu" method, via a live CD. It's point and click [23:33] !fixgrub | hellojoe [23:33] hellojoe: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [23:34] now im off vista and full ubuntu! [23:34] why not Windows 7? [23:34] thanks [23:34] <[thor]> my boot --> http://videobin.org/+31a/3c5.html [23:34] ok [23:34] windows 7 takes awhile to boot too [23:34] yes [23:34] miststlkr: I believe there is #virtualbox [23:34] kukenifittan: Can you find which version Ubuntu you run? [23:34] Maahes - hmm. Live CD - okay, let me investigate that. [23:34] when I 'sudo adduser username admin' I get 'adduser: The group `admin' does not exist.' what group should I add my new user to to give them sudo powers? [23:34] <[thor]> err.. ok.. so after transcoding, that will be my boot video :D [23:34] Hay a red alert sign just popped up at the top bar, i clicked it and it opened up the update manager, but no updates were available? what do i have to do? [23:35] Ryu_kurisu i know it shows you what subversion you have when you install via the terminal [23:35] micah its for ubuntu11.04 a1 [23:35] Ryu_Kurisu Ubuntu 8 [23:35] I think [23:35] is 11 finsihed yet? [23:36] cawnc4: Not subversion (SVN), Ubuntu version ;)) [23:36] micah, i think you have to update your package lists. [23:36] !search me [23:36] Found: code, selinux, kde docs, themes, ops-#xubuntu-offtopic, ops-#ubuntu-cym, eye candy, ops-#ubuntu-motu, removexfce, scp and 596 more, see http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=me [23:36] wtf? [23:36] Ok one sec [23:36] i need some help setting up my built in memory card needs to read xd and sd cards [23:36] yeti me too [23:36] kukenifittan: You can find it in System Monitor (inside System menu) or in terminal with uname [23:37] my dell vostro 1400 cant detect sd card reader reading nds microsd [23:37] but uname isnt very specific [23:37] Ryu_Kurisu I'm not in Ubuntu right now though [23:37] I was looking at the CD [23:37] I used to install [23:37] i am running 10.10 on an aspire one zg5 [23:37] anggadj98 check ubuntuforums.org dell section for those problems [23:37] Its saying its failing to update the list, my connection is stable? [23:38] the dell section has abunch of the dell specific problems fixed [23:38] Hey guys, I've got a new hard drive to format. Now that's done, putting new install on. I want to just select one partition and use that as the general thing for all of the OS, not segregating areas for swap, home, etc. How do I do that? [23:38] micah, what other messages are said along with failed to update list? [23:38] wildfire100: check your .themes folder, and if there's a folder there that is named after whatever isn't installing, delete it. [23:38] W:Failed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [23:38] , W:Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.169 80] [23:38] , E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [23:38] I believe there is also #ubuntu-dell [23:39] Airris the newer ubuntu installs dont put a section for swap [23:39] micah, try another mirror. might work. [23:39] Airris: by default you only have two partitions: Swap, and the main partition. [23:39] how do i do that? [23:39] You can set swap to 0 if you have a lot of ram, and don't care about it. [23:40] I'm trying to do apt-get -f install from a bash login [23:40] but my internet is PPP [23:40] how can I connect PPP without gdm :( [23:40] Well...Ubuntu 8 (.04 or .10) are very old...being April 2008 or October 2008. I would first suggest upgrading to 10.10 or something similar. Or 10.04 which is LTS (Long Time Service) (I presume you have 8.04 which is also a LTS). (My preference is 10.10, better in my experience) [23:40] micah, i guess System -> Administration -> Software Sources. [23:40] mattw_, pon/poff/pppoeconf. [23:40] Maahes, if there is a #ubuntu-dell thats not the name [23:40] dnivra thank you [23:40] how do i make it so ctrl+t doesnt open terminal? [23:41] Also, where can I find the ubuntu repositories because I'm going to have to configure apt manually [23:41] Maahes - I'm only finding vague suggestions and broken pages about what you're talking about with a Live CD - got a link? [23:41] Does swap need a separate partition to work, or is it just common practice? [23:41] cawnc4 then what is it? [23:41] airris swap needs partition [23:41] digitalfiz, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. [23:41] kukenifittan: Well...Ubuntu 8 (.04 or .10) are very old...being April 2008 or October 2008. I would first suggest upgrading to 10.10 (latest version of Ubuntu). Or 10.04 which is LTS (Long Time Service) (I presume you have 8.04 which is also a LTS). (My preference is 10.10, better in my experience) [23:41] can anyone help me with jdownloader??? [23:41] exit [23:41] AnggaDj98 i dont know, i just tried it and im the only person there, looking now [23:41] how to exit irssi ? [23:41] Hi I just created a Server on my desktop and told it to install the software for a mail server however is it possible to also use this personal server to hide all my files I don't want people to see? [23:41] ok [23:41] wait there [23:41] Ryu_Kurisu ok will that make so I won't have to recompile the kernel? [23:41] to get a USB storage device to work? [23:41] mattw_, why do you have to configure apt manually? it should be configured by itself i think. [23:42] do you see ,e? [23:42] hey all... what's the easiest way to install ubuntu on a box that already has some other linux distro on it? [23:42] wait, the other guy said it doesn't put a section for swap. [23:42] dnvira I have an insane problem with being completely unable to download something without hashsum mismatches, the default install CD doesn't work on my model of internet card, and my country uses PPP connections [23:42] Life sucks [23:42] cainus to you have several partitions or one big one? [23:42] *do you [23:42] cainus_, well you can wubi if you have windows or you can install side by side with all existing OS. [23:43] kukenifittan: You won't need to manually recompile the kernel, seeing a more recent kernel is automatically installed. I do suggest a fresh install compared to a upgrade :) [23:43] Airris: just one big one [23:43] aww [23:43] how can I create flash Flip Book in ubuntu? [23:43] dnivra, ty :) [23:43] Airris, 4 is the max number of partitions. i use an extended partition to have more than that. [23:43] digitalfiz, no problem :) [23:43] I just want to overwrite the current OS [23:43] dnivra: if I could do it.. I would put PPPOECONF on a freaking minimal install CD and somehow put it on a USB stick [23:43] don't need for them to run side-by-side [23:43] dnivra: but I have no idea how to do any of that [23:43] robmillernow: In ubuntu under System > Administration there is an option called "Create Startup Disk" you make a live CD, use that option to make the startup usb. [23:44] Ryu_Kurisu ok [23:44] mattw_, are you saying that you don't have pppoeconf by default? [23:44] dnivra: not on the minimal cd [23:44] is there a channel for mysql? [23:44] is there any way to get 3d of old ati cards running in ubuntu 10.10? [23:44] rtfm! [23:44] would enabling proprietary drivers possibly help a SD card reading problem? [23:44] leftist: #mysql ? [23:44] mattw_, i see. well out of luck there then :). [23:44] alright so backtracking. I usually don't have extra partitions to deal with. using smaller drives. etc. So i tend to choose the basic "erase everything and install option". What i was asking is if there's a way on the "prepare partitions" screen to do an option equivalent to that managed one, except just targeting one partition [23:45] Hi all, I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed on a netbook, but want to install the netbook version to replace it, if I "Install alongside other operating systems", will this install like the ubuntu update 9 to 10? i.e. give you an option at boot up and all your data and software will still be there [23:45] mattw_, i have a PPP connection too BTW :). [23:45] <[thor]> Alagos: have you tried flipbook in the package ivtools-bin ? [23:45] cawnc4: if there's a proprietary driver for your reader. The list of of drivers to install for your system, tells you what they do [23:45] I want the automatic behavior, just used over a particular partition, not the entire drive [23:45] do I need to burn a disk to install ubuntu on this box? or can I just install over top of the existing OS? [23:45] dnivra: hate [23:45] cainus_: probably a disk [23:45] ahh okay :\ [23:46] use the torrent download, it's so much faster ;) [23:46] k [23:46] Maahes - I don't have a system that's running Ubuntu. The only working system i have is a Macbook running OS X [23:46] robmillernow: thus download and burn a live cd [23:46] [thor]: Is It optimazed for creating books? [23:46] Raymond, 'Install alongside' would mean that your present OS' would be left unaffected. [23:46] robmillernow_do you have parrallels? [23:46] Raymond, you can install ubuntu on a existing partition. as long as you don't format it, /home will not be erased. [23:47] Airris: if you're wanting to install it in it's own partition, and not overwrite an existing partition, use the "install alongside" option. [23:47] how to find out if i have a 32 or 64bit system? [23:47] it didn't give me that one because there isn't any OS to install alongside [23:47] I'm trying to ftp to a server that I just set up but I'm getting a connection refused error can anybody help me? [23:47] By default though, you need Two Partitions for the OS: / and /swap [23:47] Airris: It's also more certain the download will be complete...I don't know to how you were replying...hence I do it to you :D [23:47] I've tried it both ways too. [23:48] dnivra: I had a feeling it was something like that. I would then have to go to the advanced install then I guess as the other option is to erase the entire disk [23:48] Airris: ah. Why not just install it the normal way and not use the entire disk for the OS? leave unallocated space. [23:48] nibbler_, 'uname -a'. that will tell you if your OS is 32 or 64bit. [23:48] dnivra, thanks [23:48] nibbler_, np :) [23:48] Maahes: I just went through the trouble of using another partioner to set everything up. I need NTFS on one of the drives [23:48] er, partitions [23:48] Maahes: Swap is not needed but highly suggested and should be as much as the RAM if you want hibernation :) [23:48] Raymond, yeah 'Specify partitions manually' i think it is known as. [23:49] Ryu_Kurisu: I've already mentioned that ^_^ [23:49] Maahes: Sorry xD [23:49] Airris: okay, what does your partition table look like now? [23:49] isnt swap=RAM? [23:49] no? [23:49] AnggaDj98: no. [23:49] ok [23:49] It's disk space once you run out of ram [23:50] ok thanks [23:50] Hi [23:50] is VMWare available on Ubuntu [23:50] Maahes - i can't do anything in Ubuntu [23:50] induz: Yes :) [23:50] is VMWare freeware [23:50] dnivra: OK, i've selected it, there are a number of partitions, but only one is EXT4 which is what i selected when I installed ubuntu initially, so this would be the one to install onto? [23:50] !virtualbox | induz [23:50] induz: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [23:50] robmillernow: wtffffff [23:50] robmillernow: what does that mean? [23:50] on a Server do I just install open ssh-server or to I install the whole open SSH? [23:50] I have a problem, my computer doesn't detect my keyboard and mouse after 3 minutes of being in the login screen [23:50] you can do everything in ubuntu [23:50] <[thor]> Alagos: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/flipbook.1.html [23:50] induz: As suggested bij dnivra; I prefer VirtualBox :) [23:50] it seems to be a usb problem related to xorg.conf [23:50] Maahes: sda1 - ext4 , sda2- ntfs, sda3, fat32, sda4 ntfs. I know you're advised to install windows first but i'm not going to be able to do that immediately, i'm just leaving the stuff in place to do it later. One 80 GB partition for windows. a general purpose 8 GB partition for formatting, and a large NTFS data drive either one can use since Ubuntu reads NTFS [23:50] Braber01, openssh-server. i think openssh-client is installed by default. [23:51] How can I make MD auto-detect wait for USB partitions to become available? [23:51] is VMware on Ubuntu? I see so many options on Package manager [23:51] induz: otherwise I believe VM Ware will run on any linux box, provided you set it up. [23:51] I just installed a copy of ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and when I used the live CD I had to use the nomodeset option otherwise I would get [23:51] Raymond, guess so yeah. [23:51] is VMWare is freeware [23:51] Airris: Yeah, you're boned. You have to use the manual partitioner. [23:51] or I have to buy it? [23:51] induz: not it is not [23:51] It is expensive [23:51] <[thor]> Alagos: also this http://www.ivtools.org/ivtools/flipbook.html [23:51] Maahes - it means that the only working system i have is my Macbook -- it's what i'm using now to chat, it's where i downloaded Ubuntu, and it's where I'm creating the USB drive. I have no other working system here. The Windows machine is too virus- and spyware-laden. [23:52] virtualbox is freeware [23:52] induz, prefer virtualbox. it's good enough. [23:52] I know about VBox [23:52] Maahes: Ok, so manual needed. What am I doing? [23:52] Hey guys, I'm having trouble with 3d acceleration [23:52] batjew what help? [23:52] I have Vbox [23:52] batjew what trouble? [23:52] AnggaDj98 - let me start from the beginning - [23:52] well my laptop doesnt seem to have working 3d acceleration [23:52] Please Help. How can I make MD auto-detect wait for USB partitions to become available? [23:52] okay.  I'm trying to replace the virus-laden Windows system on my 60-year-old Dad's 2005 Dell Inspiron laptop with Ubuntu 10.10.  Dad's Windows machine optical drive is defective, so I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 via USB drive.  Using my Macbook (the only other working computer in the house), I followed the instructions on ubuntu.com to convert the Ubuntu 10.10 .iso to an .img, which put it on this new 8g USB drive... [23:53] can anyone help me with jdownloader??? [23:53] ...I switched the boot order in BIOS on Dad's Windows laptop to try and force it to boot from USB.  Restarted laptop, but getting "No boot sector on USB device" error.  I've also since learned that this USB drive also doesn't boot on my Macbook. Can anyone help? [23:53] Compiz randomly stopped working months ago, but i only pinned it down when Civ 4 wouldnt run in Vbox [23:53] dnivra: you GUESS so? No problems, the logic sound good :) I've made sure that I have NOT selected to format the partition :) Thanks for the help... [23:53] where can I ask about aptana studio? [23:53] that's what's going on. [23:53] im trying to install the nvidia xorg drivers but having big problems there [23:53] robmillernow: Do you have a blank CD? Do you have a CD Image? Burn that image onto the blank cd. Insert CD into drive, log out of OSX, boot as Ubuntu. Mount the hardrive in your laptop. Put the USB drive in. Use Startup Disk Creator. Point it at the .iso image on your laptop, and at your usb drive. Finish, Reboot, try booting from the USB drive. [23:53] Can I not ftp to my home server because it has to go through a router or something? [23:53] hmm [23:54] Raymond, since you've said that it is where the original install existed, it should be that :). don't format-/home will remain unaffected. if unsure of the partition, mount it to confirm :). [23:54] AH now i see. okay got it... [23:54] I just installed a copy of ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and when I used the live CD I had to use the nomodeset option otherwise I would get a signal over range error on my monitor. Now that its installed I cant edit the boot options because the boot process skips right over grub and boots to the login screen (that I can't even see) Can someone tell me how to access the boot options when I start up the computer or just help me fi [23:54] x the problem? [23:55] and I've tried FTP-ing to my laptop from the server as well but I'll I'm getting is a message saying connection Refused. [23:55] Airris: oh wait, are the sda's physically different drives? [23:55] nhandler hi [23:55] Maahes: no [23:56] sudo [23:56] Airris: if you try the main installer, does it give you different sda's to install to? [23:57] Hey guys, im having a program getting 3d acceleration in ubuntu [23:57] Maahes: nope I just have bubbles for erase and use entire disk, and specify parts manually. On the latter option it lists all 4, i'm just not sure what to do with this [23:58] hi all [23:58] hi [23:59] ls [23:59] hello?
