[00:00] someone please I just want to open pulse audio because sound coming out of speaker and headphone in same time [00:00] no, it's all terminal. Just scroll down with the down arrow or page down button [00:00] jose__, sudo update-grub '' soz [00:01] trojan, okay, but I'm not sure because one of the partitions is encrypted. I don't think that'll pick it up or will it? [00:01] Another side question, can you just exit to save? [00:01] followed instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD to restore Grub 2 to MBR, now not able to select windows when booting, boots straight to ubuntu. What command(s) do I need to add Windows 7 to the boot options? [00:02] red2kic: no joy [00:02] liminal, im trying it now [00:02] When you press exit, Isonyx, it will prompt you to save the file [00:02] but you can press ctrl O to save anyway [00:03] liminal, are you getting some display on both screens? [00:03] jose__, possibly not.. run 'sudo apt-get install grub2' .. [00:03] That's an O as in the letter, not zero [00:03] Where can I get latest amd64 flash plugin? I'd like to be sure I'm running latest one. md5sum your libflashplayer.so, plz. [00:03] why is so complicated to open pulse audio [00:03] trojan, what will that do exactly? [00:04] trojan, backtrack comes with grub 0.97, so when I installed Ubuntu and ran update manager it upgraded version [00:04] it will reinstall grub,, then we will update grub again [00:04] red2kic: not sure cuz I have 32 bit system... but why not just check the adobe page [00:04] toastedmilk, run this script and paste bin the generated text file.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [00:04] needlez: Check screesaver + gnome-power-manager -- Maybe toggling them off/on will do a trick. Could be one of those weird bugs. [00:04] Pressing the Esc key dosen't seem to do anything for me. [00:04] needlez: Adobe does not do amd64 anymore, me think. [00:05] red2kic: yes it does [00:05] toastedmilk, actually did you run sudo update-grub back in Ubuntu [00:05] red2kic: tried as first thing also tried creating a script to put it into sleep and tried python too [00:05] there are 64bit versions of flash being worked on for linux. but its still lags behind the windows versions [00:05] rww: Can you find it for me? I looked all over the labs.adobe.com [00:05] nit-wit, yes i did run grub-update after restarting [00:05] mmm,, ubuntu running a usb internet dongle.. what do i need to install?? [00:05] red2kic: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html [00:05] hi to all, my package kit is broken after I updated a list of repositories. How can I get it back? [00:05] trojan, okay I think I'll have to log off be right back [00:05] red2kic: grab the .tar.gz, unzil into ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [00:06] toastedmilk, run the script then t will let us know a lot more of what is where. [00:06] trojan: you mean wifi? or 3g? or what exactly? [00:06] rww: Thanks. I'll check md5sum to see if I have that. [00:06] unzip ** [00:06] 3g [00:07] nit-wit, thanks, on it [00:07] !3g [00:07] lol,, u gettin ubottu to tell? [00:07] Anyone know what key is equivalent to ^X [00:08] rww: Yup. I have the latest file. You see this? https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ (Update Now). So that's wh. [00:08] y. [00:08] Isonyx: ctrl-x is a key combo.. theres no single key equilib. [00:08] what do i do if my windows 7 computer does not reconize my ubuntu shared folder? [00:08] Thank you Willis. Is there a library where I can find the list for these? [00:08] I have some portable apps for USB but they have not permission to execute.. when I give them permission, in a moment they have not permission.. but just on USB.. any solution ? [00:09] steiner: you could always use winscp and ssh to transfer files around. [00:09] red2kic: I'm running Konqueror, not Firefox, but that page says "Up to Date". [00:09] steiner: Install Ubuntu on your Win7 computer? :) [00:09] red2kic: and version 10.3.162.0 [00:09] steiner: Simple Google took me to http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/75-63-windows-samba-issue [00:09] Isonyx: a libray of what? ^x means 'ctrl X' thats been common notation for that key combo for.. err.. 30+ yrs perhaps.. :) [00:09] nit-wit, http://pastebin.com/FYsyr8L3 [00:10] red2kic: is it possible you have more than one version of Flash installed? [00:10] red2kic: it was, but unfortunatley i dont make the final decision [00:10] I read somewhere ^ Y is = Page Up not CTRL + Y or do both apply. [00:10] ill check the link out thanks [00:10] on ubuntu does anyone have any idea what this mean on wine i get it on every game wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\gearsec.exe" [00:11] rww: You're right. My head is in wrong place. I was checking /usr/local/share/chromium/plugins/ (I decided to switch back to Firefox so I'm syncing extensions, etc). [00:11] ekat90: Yeah, i cant find gearsec.exe [00:11] *it [00:12] Dr_willis i am getting error [00:12] rww: Btw, do you happen to know if there are chromium plugin folder where I can place it as long as it's in $HOME? [00:12] toastedmilk, thanks hold on [00:12] nit-wit, sure thing, thanks for taking a look [00:12] red2kic: no idea. Chromium+Flash confuses me. [00:12] red2kic: i dont think that really applys to my situation [00:12] red2kic: any other ideas? [00:12] langvann: what does it mean? [00:12] red2kic: if it's like Konqueror (which it probably isn't), ~/.mozilla/plugins/ would still work :\ [00:12] While I'm here. My sound applet on my panel dissapeared. Anyone know how to bring it back? [00:12] rww: Terrible. Users would get wrong idea and remove that folder if they stopped using Firefox. [00:13] steiner: Did you try it though? (In Win7). [00:13] red2kic: not really. There's probably a specific Konqueror folder, but Konqueror also looks in other mozilla-y places too. I'm just too lazy to find the right place ;) [00:13] needlez: I have no idea why the screensaver isn't kicking in for you. [00:13] Ah, nevermind on that last thing. [00:13] linusasus6: if sound is coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time, and those are on *one* device (not a usb headset), then that's jacksense brokenness and is a bug in your driver. pulseaudio has nothing to do with it [00:14] Dr_willis error: this kernel requires an x86-64 CPU.but only detected an i686 CPU. unable to boot - please use a appropriate for your cpu [00:14] screensaver kicks in, but computer wont sleep mode [00:14] and its enabled [00:14] juniour, you need to install 32 bit ubuntu on your system [00:14] red2kic: screensaver kicks in but computers sleep mode wont kick in === bryan is now known as DedicatedDrill [00:14] toastedmilk my system is 64 bit [00:15] rww: Perfect.

[00:17] toastedmilk, so W7 sda2 is showing in grub have you scrolled all the way to the bottom of the grub menu paer chance [00:17] i wanna run ubuntu in virtual box [00:17] red2kic: nothing screen goes black and fans kick in full blast noise, moved mouse and screen came back [00:17] rww? [00:17] juniour: I'm not sure how either of these sentences contradict what I said. [00:17] k [00:17] needlez: That turn off the monitor (force it to go standby). Is that what you want? [00:18] howdy howdy all [00:18] needlez: Or you're talking about suspend/hibernation? [00:18] red2kic: I don't want monitor off , i need suspend /hib... [00:18] trojan still there? [00:18] is any one hre who know abt virtual box [00:18] nit-wit, i haven't gone through the grub menu, should I load up a livecd and go through grub from there, or can I do this from normal boot?

How about SWAP? === captain is now known as captain_ [00:19] I ahve some problems using the rc.local file [00:19] 4gigs memory [00:19] howdy all [00:19] Hi, how do I install fonts on xubuntu [00:19] Here is my file: http://pastebin.com/Esi3AskF [00:19] Only the first command does start [00:20] red2kic: 3.9 GB RAM Swap 11.7GB [00:20] Someone knows why? === captain_ is now known as captainh [00:20] needlez: You can try suspend/hibernate and see if they both work correctly. [00:20] toastedmilk, at the grub menu use the down key to see if W7 is at the bottom of the grub menu [00:21] needlez: pm-hibernate ; pm-suspend ; pm-powersave [00:21] howdy all [00:21] needlez: Run one of the command. Test it. Take notes. You have to research that. [00:21] needlez: Later (You're going to go off when that happen).

[00:24] red2kic: from what I'm seeing it looks like none of those commands have permission to run, maybe thats why it wont hib /suspend after movie stops playin [00:24] d [00:25] toastedmilk, your misunderstanding me [00:25] steiner: I don't have Win7. At least, make sure both are in same sharing nmae -- WORKGROUP/WORKGROUPS (don't remember). -- Otherwise, you might want to try searching if nobody know the answer. [00:25] nit-wit, I'm not getting a grub menu at boot, it's going straight into linux [00:26] needlez: sudo? [00:26] red2kic: gonna try that and see if any issues [00:26] needlez: You can try "sudo -i" then type that command again.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:29] toastedmilk, when you boot your computer and get the grub menu you have like 6 kernels, have you used the down arrow key to get past them and the 2 memory lines to see if W7 is there === ogra is now known as Guest58620 [00:29] nit-wit, I don't get the grub menu at boot, it boots straight into linux [00:30] nit-wit, hold shift at boot? [00:30] red2kic: ok, so good news and bad, pm-suspend works fine, pm-hibernate doesn't work at all shows black screen blinking line forced to reboot, and pm-powersave showed nothing... anything?? [00:30] My speakers were working with the Live CD but now they do not I can still plug in headphones and get sound what could it be === chui is now known as teyc [00:30] needlez: So you can use pm-suspend then. [00:30] toastedmilk, okay poawer it on immediatly hold down the shift key and if the grub menu shows scroll down and see if W7 is there I have to go I have a movie to catch sorry. [00:30] Dr_Willis: what is the sharepath? could you give me an example? i already added a samba password [00:31] needlez: Use that. I prefer suspend over hibernate anyway. Quick wake-up time. [00:31] I have a LED tv/monitor that only goes to 800x600. I installed 10.04 and have lost all screen display. I think the resolution in 10.04 is set too high, but since I cant see the screen I cant make the change! [00:31] red2kic: yes I can, but my thing is that it won't auto suspend after a movie stops playing in totem/VLC/ or Mplayer...

If you're on GNOME, you can add startup commands in System --> Pref --> Startup Apps [00:39] halvors1: no not with upstart [00:39] halvors1: depends on what the command is doing...

[00:40] halvors1: you want it ran as root, at boot time. rc.local. ran as user when they login.. thats a differnt matter [00:40] It's a server [00:41] so users do not login [00:41] would it be possible to make some files in init.d [00:41] But how? [00:41] needlez: I understand. I'm thinking. I kept pondering if pae-kernel have anything to do with it. [00:41] Does any file there automaticly called on startup/boottime?

Check your manufacturer website. See if there are new BIOS version update for your hardware. Avoid PAE. Use native i386 or amd64. That's it (for the future). [00:45] red2kic: I don't know but what I'm thinking is that gnome-power-manager instead of seeing a movie playing, i think it shows active even if idle for movie players like totem/Mplayer/VLC/ etc...

[00:47] i wanted to convert video for my htc aria [00:47] dhanijeremy, if you want to make mp4 files, i'd highly recommend Handbrake (not in default repo i'm affraid) [00:47] dhanijeremy: avidemux does not convert [00:47] needlez: It need root permission to invoke pm-suspend -- So permissions may be an issue. I mean you ran pm-suspend, right? [00:47] dhanijeremy: winff is a front end to ffmpeg. ffmpeg, and mencoder are the 2 main tools used to convert video from one format/codec to others - in most cases [00:47] red2kic: because the amd64 bit was buggy and was worse then this... plus don't feel like killing the system again for the 10th or so time..lol [00:47] dhanijeremy: handbreak can do some conversion also. but winff has presets for a great many devices [00:48] howdy all [00:48] red2kic: I have an idea im gonna open totem and then run the command with sudo and see if it will sleep [00:48] ok then, i'll try handbrake, btw is it good for android phone? i want to change the video resolution but in the same time preserve the quality [00:49] halvors1 check out /etc/init.d/skeleton and they need a chmod +x and a update-rc.local defaults to ensure run on boot [00:49] Hello [00:49] I have an issue with a program [00:50] Could someone give me some guidance?

[01:01] I have a LED tv/monitor that only goes to 800x600. I installed 10.04 and have lost all screen display. I think the resolution in 10.04 is set too high, but since I cant see the screen I cant see to make the change! [01:02] doug9: how is it connected to the tv? [01:02] Dr_Willis: I've considered gentoo multiple times, but i think i'll just stick with BSD's and Ubuntu. I like tinkering, but i want some basic things to Just Work(TM) [01:02] with a vga cable [01:03] doug9, try connecting an external monitor and changing the res from there [01:04] wafflesausage, i have considered bsd also [01:04] yes, I've thought of that. Guess I'll have to look for one then [01:04] thank you DrW [01:04] hiexpo: I'd only recommend it if you have relatively old, run of the mill hardware [01:04] hi [01:05] installing curl [01:05] So, pypanel doesn't seem to be in the ubuntu repos. Can anyone suggest any alternatives? [01:05] wafflesausage: search for a ppa [01:05] wafflesausage, thats why i have not my stuff is fairly newish [01:06] wafflesausage: i imagine few of us know what PyPanel even does.. [01:06] wafflesausage: why not download it directly from Sourceforge? [01:06] PyPanel is a lightweight panel/taskbar written in Python and C for X11 window managers [01:07] Does anyone know what resolution the 10.04 live cd displays at? [01:07] wyclif: that i probably could do [01:07] theres several alternative panels in the repos i recall. [01:07] doug9: depends on your monitor [01:07] is there anyone who knows about OpenVZ and virtualisation? [01:07] when I boot from m [01:07] doug9: it tries to auto-detect the monitor i belive [01:07] y cd which I made, the monitor works OK [01:08] ubuntu determins when fsck needs to be run, or do I have to run it myself periodically? [01:08] wafflesausage, http://sourceforge.net/projects/pypanel/ [01:08] I know virtualbox [01:08] Datz: ubuntu /filesystem settings determine it. [01:08] Datz, automatically on 25-30 boots on ext2/3/4 i believe [01:08] Datz: by default its lke every 30 mounts. Tune able via the tune2fs command. [01:08] no.. I'm not interested about virtualbox [01:08] Datz: it does it automatically on startup when the filesystem hasn't been checked in X mounts or Y days, whichever comes first. [01:08] I want to know if I'll install OpenVZ it will be consequences... [01:09] ok, so I should'nt have to worry about it then, thanks [01:09] oh well [01:09] about running well the others proccess from my PC [01:10] rww: what about if errors are detected?

[01:11] micah: let me guess? no sound? [01:11] no i know how to fix that [01:11] Datz: I'm not sure how that works with recent versions of Ubuntu (since they switched to Plymouth), sorry. [01:11] :) [01:11] micah, get out of enemy territory... FAST! [01:11] the game isnt loading it is just zooming in the screen and not loading [01:11] rww: ok, no problem [01:11] thank you all. doug out [01:11] rgb247, what was the question? [01:12] does anyone know why it wouldnt load and just zoom my screen in? [01:12] micah: given how old that game is.. im suprised it even works.. But on the plus side. I DO think it got opensourced a few weeks back. (2 mo?) so with any luck we will see some updated versions soon. [01:12] well it worked fine before i updated my version of ubuntu [01:12] unholy, sorry for delay [01:12] how to re install it and now for some reason it wont work [01:12] had to re install it* === robotarmy is now known as bunuq [01:12] I want to know if I'll install openVZ on a desktop-ubuntu machine ...

[01:15] ArtistAbbot: it may help if you dident use terms like 'maximize my perceived intelligence' :) That just sends up a red flag to me. :) [01:15] I think yes. [01:15] I know the openVZ will virtualize the kernel [01:15] well to be honest i can fake the actual part where i have to do intelligent things [01:15] rgb247, http://wiki.openvz.org/Introduction_to_virtualization [01:16] but having to appear intelligent i seem to fail at. is GBrainy my ticket to fool even experts [01:16] ArtistAbbot: shall we now ask - 'what does this have to do with ubuntu support?' [01:16] perhaps this is not edubuntu relateD? [01:16] ArtistAbbot: i would have to say its not 'ubuntu support' related. [01:17] i need help with wolfenstein enemy territory it wont load [01:17] i will have to double check the code of conduct. i am positive something we value comes with you helping me (support) on this topic [01:17] i need help with wolfenstein enemy territory it wont load [01:18] i need help with wolfenstein enemy territory it wont load [01:18] ArtistAbbot: err. if you had issues Installing gbrainy, or running it. yes. that would be a support issue.. [01:18] !repeat | micah [01:18] micah: 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/ [01:18] Hi, I'm a complete noob here, I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my 4 year old Hp pavillion dv5000 laptop. I had to install it twice as the first time it stopped half way and the cd popped out. So far it looks fantastic... except for the loverly little warning icon that says "disk failure is imminent". I take it thats bad right? Er... how do I un'imminent" it? [01:18] micah: you ahve checked the forums? ive not seen many people asking aobut that game in here in ages. [01:19] yeah i checked the forum and it dosent seem anyone is getting the same problems as me [01:19] Dr_Willis, forum posts are forever. i rather not have to post [01:19] micah: try making a new user. see if it works for them. [01:19] evilminion42, you replace it... [01:19] ArtistAbbot: This channel is publicly logged, so IRC messages are also forever. [01:19] no i cant even get into the game [01:19] i downloaded it just now and when i try to load and play it just makes my screen big and exits [01:19] rww, and who is taking that fact seriously when i didn't bother to mention that [01:19] unholyterror, weaksauce! Thanks =) [01:20] fo eva? fo eva eva [01:20] proves my point [01:20] micah: try editing the default configs perhaps to try fullscreen or windowwed. or differnt modes. [01:20] Hey I have this HP Pavilion dv6 laptop and I'm running Maverick. When I close the lid and keep it closed a while, the screen goes blank (that's good) but then I can't get the screen to come back on. (that's bad) [01:20] fo eva :( [01:20] what can be done? [01:20] evilminion42, seriously.... it's getting ready to die. [01:20] dr_willis i have no idea how to do that haha [01:20] dr_willis - I have installed using nomodeset [01:20] how do I set this in the bootloader ? [01:21] micah: last i checked it was some .et/somthing dir/files [01:21] ok [01:21] opalfroot: I only needed it to install.. after i isntalled. i then insatlled the nviddia drivers. and no longer needed nomodeset. [01:21] ok i have a better question [01:21] opalfroot: i DO recall that when io used nomodeset to install. it automatically added the nomodeset option in /etc/default/grub [01:22] !disk utility | evilnhandler [01:22] what is "SABDFL" and how does it relate to ubuntu? it is in ubuntu code of conduct? is this some sort of codename for a software in my ubuntu [01:22] ahh i cant find where the enemy territory files are [01:22] ArtistAbbot: It's a nickname of Mark Shuttleworth. Self-Appointed Benevolent Dictator For Life [01:22] !sabdfl | ArtistAbbot [01:22] ArtistAbbot: Mark "sabdfl" Shuttleworth is our favourite cosmonaut, the founder of Canonical and the primary driver behind Ubuntu. You can find pieces of his thinking at http://www.markshuttleworth.com [01:22] why is virtualbox's ubuntu only provide 800x600? anyway to make it bigger? [01:22] micah: normally each user has some sub dir in their home with their settings [01:22] ArtistAbbot: sabdfl is Mark Shuttleworth [01:22] hppy xmas ppl..... i want to know how to install ubuntu on my USB pendrive and use it as a portable OS [01:22] screen resolution only has 800x600 option [01:22] wasn't he the first ubuntu developer in space [01:23] sabdfl means self appointed benign dictator for lifee [01:23] xxiao: install the guest addations perhaps. [01:23] em: benevolent, actually :) [01:23] yep [01:23] Dr_Willis: ok. thanks. [01:23] I like Benign better.. :) === bunuq is now known as robotarmy [01:23] any help? [01:23] so do I, actually. I might start using that ;P [01:23] i wish shuttleworth was here more often actually [01:24] is shuttleworth capable of providing support in this channel? [01:24] or even one of his representatives [01:24] enav: use some tool like unetbootin, or lili, or the usb-disk cerator tool and add a persstant save file.. or just do a normal install to the flash drive. [01:24] does he know very much about technical things? [01:24] Helo, I need litle help [01:24] Can someone help me change default file manager from Thunar to Nautilus? [01:24] The following packages will be REMOVED: libsdl-ttf2.0-0{u} virtualbox-4.0{a} [01:24] ok thanks guys. i just need to find a way to make ubuntu download dragonbook but legit e copy? surely such a touchy subject has a secure ubuntu way of obtaining legally? [01:24] I downloaded it straight through my terminal but dont know where the files went [01:24] micah how? is it legal [01:24] virtualbox-guest-additions removed virtual-box-4.0? [01:25] xxiao: you have to install it in the guest OS, not the host [01:25] Dr_Willis: why is guest-addtions removing my virtualbox-4.0? [01:25] xxiao: you install the guest adations IN the guest os. not the host os. [01:25] idk if its legal but its all on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory [01:25] ok. let me see if i can save it [01:25] cool i will check [01:25] xxiao: you also don't use synaptic to install it(assuming ubuntu is your guest) [01:25] xxiao, you ran the guest additions from a terminal host correct [01:26] Dr_Willis: i did the persistant data on the USB device but every time i restart the pc it show me the Live or install menu.... i whis to use my usb as a portable Disck and go to any computer i desire [01:26] micah: last i checked rtcw:et was 'free' but not GPL. However.. i was thinkign it was recently released under the GPL. (like in oct>?) [01:26] micah, that was close but not dragonbook [01:26] Dr_Willis: i'm running it in my host with aptitude from a terminal [01:26] enav: so. if you seelct live.. it should have the changes you did saved.. [01:26] so I should install it within the virtual ubuntu instead? [01:26] xxiao: GUEST addations get installed in the GUEST OS... yes... [01:27] haha that is a foreign language to me dr_willis i dont know much about ubuntu [01:27] xxiao: vbox has a menu to do that. [01:27] xxiao: start the virtual machine, and one of hte menu options is "install guest additions" it will handle it for you. [01:27] you install the guest editions through the host into the VM containing your GuEST [01:27] using vbox [01:27] xxiao: you may want to check the VBOX docs/manual at its homepage. [01:27] i had to kill -9 aptitude, now aptitude can not open lock file [01:27] Dr_Willis: changes like plugins email paswords an all that stuff???? [01:27] ArtistAbbot: that made very little sense [01:27] xxiao, you need to reinstall 4.0 and add the guest additions from the drop down at the top of its menu then run them from the side bar in home if tey don't pop up. Remove the guest stuff you installed in the host [01:27] !fixapt [01:27] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [01:27] the database must be corrupt [01:28] KM0201, i would be careful. i understand context free grammars. exactly as i read it from wikipedia. [01:28] but i admit you may be right [01:28] enav: yes. it has a persstant 'home' and 'system' file it keeps changes to. [01:28] hum [01:28] enav: but a 'full' install to a flash drive may be more flexiable and faster [01:29] xxiao, you understand the guest host is installed inn the virtual not the host [01:29] xxiao, guest additions I meant [01:29] nit-wit: yes [01:30] Dr_Willis: that sounds nice but im worry about the system compatibility... i want to plug the same usb device in 4 diferent computers [01:30] nit-wit: sadly i only did similar things at vmware, virtualbox is new to me [01:30] and i did it too fast, now dpkg/lock etc are all messed up after i killed aptitude [01:30] xxiao, your hd images should still be there you may have to just add them back in [01:30] is there way to return to sane? [01:30] my virtualbox4.0 is here after i killed the guest-addtion installation forcefully [01:30] now need make aptitude work again [01:31] xxiao, two commands sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:31] sudo apt-get install -f [01:31] lol.. some people just make stuff to hard on themselves, tryng to be fancy [01:31] package management works best when not forced, killed, or otherwise abused :( [01:31] xxiao: you'd have been better off letting it finish uninstall it, then reinstall it. [01:31] agree. did it too fast right before dinner [01:31] cannot update /home/hendaus/.ICEauthority [01:31] There is a problem with thte configuration servers (/usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with estatus 256)] [01:31] i will try a reboot now.

I think the extension pack is for USB 2.0 devices, RDP and PXE boot [01:59] UnholyTerror: VMWare is bloat :) [01:59] right. this time i'm not acting too fast [01:59] i actually read it :) it's for USB etc [01:59] xxiao: do you have vbox open now? [02:00] Hi [02:00] yes i do [02:00] xxiao: click "Devices" install Guest Additions [02:00] did that, nothing happened [02:00] xxiao: ok.. hang on [02:00] judgepg, but it works... ;) [02:01] xxiao: open a file manager, something should be mounted [02:01] imagine a ubuntu a mechanic who has to learn to use a screwdriver [02:01] KM0201, doesn't he need to mount the cd first? [02:01] did it both at host and the VB , nothing observed [02:01] VisualBasic ?.. [02:01] UnholyTerror: yeah, i actually forgot that.. thats what i was looking for [02:01] KM0201, doesn't he need to mount the cd first? or iso [02:01] i saw it when i used vmware [02:01] something mounted, then you click through [02:02] but it's silient with VB4 here [02:02] icarus-c: VB--virtualbox, sorry i'm lazy [02:02] oh vbox [02:02] yes vbox that is [02:02] ubuntu a mechanic who has to learn to use a screwdriver [02:03] i need a 32bit build env in parallel with 64-bit, tried chroot but it does not work, the thing i need build recognizes 64-bit by reading 'uname -r' i believe [02:03] xxiao: go here... and download "VBoxGuestAdditions_4.0.0.iso"... it's near the top http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.0/ [02:03] as chroot is still running a 64bit kernel i think [02:03] xxiao, eh you could cross compile x86 on x86_64 [02:03] xxiao: do that as the HOST.. not the guest [02:04] xxiao, can't you specify that with environment variables... to set the compile options? [02:04] KM0201: Good find my man [02:04] UnholyTerror: not really, it's binary, i executed it, and it won't move forward under chroot [02:04] judgepg: cuz i'm awesome.. :) [02:05] KM0201: tip off my hat [02:05] judgepg: lol, actually.. that should be a lot easier to find on Vbox's website... [02:05] hey, how do give my ettercap program rights to write files? [02:05] KM0201, and cute too! ;) [02:05] UnholyTerror: lol [02:05] KM0201: you would think so... I tried to install VirtualBox 4.0 64-bit LTS (headless server), and couldn't install due to missing dependencies [02:05] TT [02:06] hmm [02:06] KM0201: had to use the 32-bit (not sure if 64-bit non LTS works) [02:06] KM0201: how did you get to that link, i found nowhere to click there from the site [02:06] judgepg: i'm far from a vbox expert.. i just use it to sync my zune. [02:06] xxiao: i have awesome google-foo [02:06] Vbox needs updating on every kernel update... [02:06] why dont I have the Gedit on the Applications - Accessories tab ??? I am using Ubuntu 10.10 [02:06] DysteR, Editor [02:06] KM0201: but they really should put it somewhere to click on, anyway [02:07] xxiao: now, just shut down guest, and set up the "vbox iso" to be your CD device.. boot the guest, and I believe it's a matter of ./vboxguestadditions can't remember [02:07] DysteR: it's labeled Text editor [02:07] Do you guys like pop tarts? >_> [02:07] Has anyone gotten civ 5 working with ubuntu? [02:07] k [02:07] scott, poptarts are for camping emergencies ;-) [02:08] Why? [02:08] boy scouts carry them in their backpacks [02:08] I have an issue, my pspgo won't charge on my computer [02:08] I'm running the latest version of the ubuntu distro [02:09] voss: Any support from codeweaver? [02:09] Scottzor: You are saying that Ubuntu is some how not suppling power to the USB port? [02:09] hey, how do give my ettercap program rights to write files? [02:09] the host I/O cache is disabled...what's this warning for on vbox4? [02:09] KM0201: vbox4 auto attached that iso, good [02:09] xxiao: vbox settings have settings for that.. [02:09] xxiao: ok.. [02:10] xxiao: so mount the cd from the places menu... then navigate to the cd w/ a terminal [02:10] judge, its supposed to be gold on winehq, im thinking ive missed some step [02:10] But it will charge my ipod touch [02:10] and type sh ./nameoffile.run [02:10] xxiao: as for the pass through, we can deal w/ that in a sec, get vbox guest additions installed first [02:10] KM0201: doing that. meanwhile vbox is warning some ext4 data corruption [02:10] Scottzor: sounds more like a cable/plug issue then an OS issue. [02:10] ok [02:10] xxiao: install guest additions, then shut down, i'll tell you how to fix that [02:10] scott, does it see your psp as a drive [02:11] Let me check [02:11] PSP does have a data mode? perhaps it cant charge when in some modes. === bruno is now known as Guest55619 === Guest55619 is now known as Noturno99 [02:12] It does nothing [02:12] UnholyTerror back :( [02:12] Hey, does anyone know what files are changed with an upgrade from GRUB Legacy to GRUB2 on the distro itself? [02:12] Scott did you try another cable? === stanley is now known as shakka_z === alexander is now known as person === person is now known as mendelev === randy is now known as Guest49655 [02:13] How do I run the disc that i put in the CD tray in ubuntu? [02:13] I tryed another cable [02:13] Still the same [02:13] hi everybody, i have deleted some video files on ext3 partition and i know some knowledge of recovering deleted files using photorec but the file names are lost using that method; i also know something about 'ntfsundelete' and i'm able to recover the files with the original name using this app but it only works for ntfs file systems, is there any way i can recover the files from ext3 with the original file names? [02:13] mendelev what CD? [02:13] scott, have you tried it with another computer [02:13] mendelev is it a DVD? [02:13] it's a cd that came with the mouse i bought [02:13] UnholyTerror are u there? [02:13] mendelev: whats on it you even need to run? [02:14] It works with windows/macs but I don't own one [02:14] um well it's a wireless mouse i think it has to install so it works [02:14] wolf23, yes [02:14] scott, did you try it with a usb wall charger [02:14] mendelev: very unlikely that it has any special Linux drivers on the cd.. [02:14] Hi. I'm using a Dell Studio 1458 and it's not outputting audio on HDMI. Can anyone help me? [02:14] mendelev, plug it in and see if it works [02:14] UnholyTerror there is no solution [02:14] it doesn't seem to work right now [02:14] It works with the wall charger, it's just easier from a computer [02:14] does this mean i will only be able to use my mouse in windows? [02:15] wolf23, :( [02:15] this makes me sad [02:15] ldenDictionary??? [02:15] mendelev, check the manufacturer's website to see if they have linux drivers. [02:15] scott, does the wall charger use usb?= [02:15] sound on goldenDictionary [02:15] Yes [02:15] mendelev: ive yet to see a usb mouse that dident work in linux... [02:16] Same here. [02:16] Which is why I said plug it in and try it. [02:16] hey everyone [02:16] Dr_Willis: maybe a few buttons on a multibutton mouse... but usually at least the 2 main buttons and the scroll wheel work. [02:16] Is this the right place to ask my question? [02:16] how can I get the pronunciations work on GoldenDictioray [02:16] mendelev, without drivers... [02:16] oh wow the left click on the mouse is working already [02:16] i need a littel help with partitioning a cf card on ubuntu [02:16] the left click works but not movement :( [02:16] ic an view the card 512 MB filesystem [02:16] shawn146: use gparted [02:17] mendelev, is the laser on? [02:17] is it built in? [02:17] i am using the ubuntu live cd [02:17] mendelev, may need to restart X... [02:17] on the mouse I mean? [02:17] 10.10 [02:17] scott, is your psp in usb connect mode [02:17] shawn146: hrm... cn't recall. System -> Administration. Check what's there [02:17] well red liight is coming out of the bottom of the mouse [02:17] so i think the laser is on [02:17] any one able to assist me with an issue running mw2>wine i get a system.IO.filenotfoundexception [02:17] ah found it [02:18] Yes [02:18] judgepg i do the same code u gave me and nothing work :( it still the same [02:18] UnholyTerror, what's restart x mean [02:18] are you sure [02:18] Gparted partition editor [02:18] KM0201: done [02:18] look at it [02:18] shawn146: yep, that's it [02:18] also i shut the guest done [02:18] xxiao: ok, shut down guest again [02:18] mendelev, X is the windowing system [02:18] i want to install edubuntu on a flash drive; what's the smallest drive i can use? do i just copy the iso to the flash drive? [02:18] ah [02:18] mendelev, it's a quick reboot without really rebooting.... it restarts the desktop/graphics system. [02:18] i hope id on't paperweight it when i make the partition changed [02:18] *changes to the card [02:19] rtdos, if you don't mind having it like a live cd [02:19] wolf23: ok, remind me the problem again. You wanted to for some reason delete the .ICEauthority file? [02:19] how do you do it [02:19] It allows you to save personal files too, don't know what's the smallest probably 2GB just like Ubuntu [02:19] you mean i need reboot it then re-shutdown [02:19] shawn146: just set the appropriate file system [02:19] or just one shutdown is enough [02:19] does anyone here have a "mentor" ? [02:19] mendelev, if enabled CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE [02:19] xxiao: once the guest is shut down, highlight the virtual machine, and click settings [02:19] judgepg yes [02:19] I'll come back later. [02:19] done [02:19] judgepg can i paste you what messages appear for me [02:19] rtdos: 2gb i think. and you dont just 'copy' the iso. you use special tools like unetbootin, lili, or others mentioned at the pendrivelinux web site. or the ubuntu usb-disk creator tools [02:19] wolf23: why did you want to delete this file again? [02:19] mendelev, you'lle end up back at the login screen. [02:19] wolf23: please do [02:19] jose_ how do i set it up so that i can save personal files to it? [02:20] xxiao: then click on "Storage"... and on the "IDE Controller"(or SATA, whichever it is).. highlight it, and choose "Use Host I/O Cache" [02:20] trying to install JLime linux on the cf card for my HP Jornada 720 :D [02:20] thank you dr. willis [02:20] xxiao: then click OK, and restart the virtualmachine [02:20] checking them out now. [02:20] rtdos: look for tools that have a 'persistant save file' option. [02:20] UnholyTerror, ctrl alt backspace didn't do anything [02:20] what do you mean, dr. willis? [02:20] need to partition 10 meg fat16 partition [02:20] mendelev, do you have a mouse to use? [02:20] soz maybe i should full reboot [02:20] and a ext2 partition [02:20] mendelev: type "ps -A|grep xin" [02:20] of 300 megs [02:20] judgepg no i dont want to delete just i want to appear the desktop and nautilus on ubuntu 10.10, thats all [02:20] I really really really hate it when they turn off ctrl-alt-backspace [02:21] sync3times: then re-enable it? [02:21] !dontzap [02:21] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [02:21] strangely the IO cache is enabled already [02:21] xxiao: check the other controller [02:21] SATA's IO cache is off, enable it now [02:21] mmkay thanks [02:21] wolf23: try CTRL+ALT+F1. Login as yourself. At the prompt, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:21] xxiao: thats probably the one causing the error. [02:21] rww, maybe I did it wrong, but that procedure did not seem to work [02:21] rebooting [02:21] wolf23: any errors? [02:21] mendelev: then look on the left of xinit and type kill and the number you see [02:21] i hope i can make a 300 meg ext2 [02:22] mendelev, System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layout->Options->Key sequence to restart X [02:22] rtdos use Ubuntu's Startup Disk Creator, it has an option for it. [02:22] judgepg i have to restart coz i am using now winxp os [02:22] or what Dr Willis said [02:22] judgepg if i restart and boot to ubuntu 10.10 [02:22] wolf23: let me know what the problem is - I'm still not clear [02:22] wolf23: post any errors [02:23] mendelev, all the open programs will be closed so you'll have to come back here after... [02:23] thank you jose. [02:23] how much space does ubuntu 10.10 need? [02:23] judgepg ok wait [02:23] KM0201: you are right the warning is gone, and the screen size is way bigger. thanks so much!!!

I'm using a Dell Optiplex SX270 with Dell 15" LCD 1024x768 [02:24] that soft reset thing was real cool but it didn't fix my mouse [02:24] judgepg i got: cannot update /home/hendaus/.ICEauthority , There is a problem with thte configuration servers (/usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with estatus 256)],nautilus couldnot creat reqired the following folders [02:24] so i guess i will hunt wild drivers [02:24] i need to figure out whats taking all of my 500GB's [02:24] turneralex apt [02:24] thanks mate :) [02:25] no problem [02:25] turneralex or are you thinking of synaptic?

I seem to be running out of lowmem. Is there a way to increase the LowTotal as a boot param or something? [02:25] xxiao: ok.. i was gonna sugget that. [02:25] rww, thx [02:25] Dr_Willis: Thx. [02:26] shawn146: you need to be a bit more clear in what you mean.. Installing ubuntu will put a grub loader on the HD. that lets you pick what OS you want to boot to. [02:26] ah [02:26] i had trouble with NAT when i was using vmware,so [02:26] i am just worried about my MBR [02:26] xxiao: that will at least let the guest call for it's own IP... handy for file sharing stuff if you do that. [02:26] why would you run a 32gb machine using 32 bit software??? [02:26] before i partition my harddrive [02:26] its a 64-bit system [02:26] shawn146: why - you can reinstall the windows mbr laer with a windows cd, or other ways.. [02:26] voss, the processors are 32-bit -- it's all i've got. [02:26] yes never used the sharing dir before, it's great [02:26] oh [02:27] i have a lot of stuff and programs i need on i [02:27] t [02:27] shawn146: its always a good idea to have backups.. [02:27] i can't edit the partition of the cf card [02:27] iandees, what processor? [02:27] shawn146: a hard drive can DIE at any time. [02:27] shawn146 the installer takes care of dividing partitions so you can dual boot [02:27] what do i do [02:27] oh i see [02:27] wolf23: try this. CTRL+ALT+F1. Login as yourself. Then do: sudo chmod 600 /home/youruser/.ICEauthority [02:27] voss: model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) MP CPU 2.80GHz [02:28] wolf23: then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:28] shawn146: be sure its unmounted.. and if you are going it by hand install gparted and do 'gksudo gparted' perhaps. [02:28] oh [02:28] unmount [02:28] thanks [02:28] wolf23: i think its more proper to use 'sudo service gdm restart' these days [02:28] Dr_Willis: The end result's the same, right? [02:29] wolf23: actually before you run the chmod command, run: sudo chown user:group /home/youruser/.ICEauthority [02:29] hi, i'm using ubuntu 10.10, i've isntalled the getdeb pkg, and when i'm trying to install songbird, the pkg manager does start but it says it cannot find the songbird pkg, most likely because it doesn't exist in a known place on my system yet. I'm not sure what's missing from this process. Any ideas? === alexander is now known as mendelev [02:29] humpff, these gnome panels are deplorable xD [02:29] this ticks me off [02:29] wafflesausage: not the same if init.d/gdm no longer exists. :) [02:29] if i was using windows the mouse would work fine i bet [02:29] but since i'm using linux it's hard [02:29] mendelev: Ive yet to find a usb mouse that dident work in every linux disrto ive ever tried.. [02:29] mendelev, that's why I go wired [02:29] mendelev, yep, are you sure its plugged in ? :( [02:30] mendelev: what are you tryign to get working? [02:30] lol, he said he had a light so I assume so [02:30] I have had wireless mice require me to hit theur little sync/connect buttons a few times. [02:30] Dr_Willis, i'm not saying there's not a way to make this work, i'm saying it's harder [02:30] mendelev: did you try rebooting it? Do you have hald and dbus enabled? [02:30] wolf23: Here is your problem, and I think the solution: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ubuntu-9-10-cannot-log-in-777406/ [02:30] judgepg user:group <-- is there anything to change? [02:30] mendelev: and im saying ive never had to do more then hit a little button, or unplyg/plug the mouse in. [02:30] it's a wireless optical mouse km [02:30] mendelev: and whats the exat brand/make? [02:30] oh wireless mice.. to heck w/ that... i hate them w/ windows... but i know they can be problematic w/ Linux.. good luck finding drivers for it.. because there's about a 99.99% chance you won't [02:30] hmm, 2 partitions on 1 cf card,w onder if windows ce can catch that [02:30] wolf23: user is your username. Group is the groupname your belong to (likely just your username) [02:30] hewlett packard [02:30] Dr_Willis, that's precisely why I don't get those, they make me mad. [02:31] Ohhh... i see now [02:31] hi i made a new user but i cant use sudo with it. how can i fix that? [02:31] cant say ive ever had many issues with wireless mice either. [02:31] wow that was fast [02:31] is there a way to disable a laptops touch pad in lubuntu/xubuntu (or anyother flavor of ubuntu) when a usb or ps/2 mouse is present? [02:31] iandees, the 2.8 xeon mp I believe is 64 bit em64t [02:31] except for Bluetooth.. thats a whome nother disaster under many OS's [02:31] where is the volume control of pulseaudio [02:31] rtdos, i'm looking for one too, it seems to screw up my gnome panels [02:31] rtdos: not sure on those to.. i know w/ Gnome.. it's under the Mouse settings, and there's a "touchpad" tab... that you can disable it [02:32] Format the partitions. (e.g mkdosfs /dev/sda1 and mke2fs /dev/sda2) [02:32] how do i do that [02:32] Dr_Willis, 2.4 GHz Wirless optical mobile mouse [02:32] judgepg my username: hendaus [02:32] shawn146 some filesystems won't be picked up by windows [02:32] admittedly left click is working [02:32] Today and yesterday the wireless has out of the blue been asking us for the encryption key to connect. Today it's concked out and doesn't see any wireless networks to connect to. [02:32] voss, hmm -- the guy installing the OS said it was installed that way. I'll have to ask again. === z3r0 is now known as dannyLopez [02:32] so i'm probably just not smart enough to fix this [02:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10294721#post10294721 [02:32] mendelev: a interesting test would be to try it out in other disrto/live cd's and see if any prolems are common to them all. [02:32] wolf23: sudo chown hendaus:hendaus /home/hendaus/.ICEauthority [02:32] shawn146 why do you want to format? [02:32] Dr_Willis, this is my only distro.. [02:32] woa [02:33] mendelev: tiny core linux = a 10mb download.. good to test things in. [02:33] iandees you can always try a 64 bit live cd, if it doesnt boot you havent lost anything! [02:33] do u know sound dictionary for GoldenDictionary? [02:33] Dr_Willis I'm gonna look that up [02:33] jose__: its handy. :) [02:34] voss the machine is on the other side of the planet and inaccessible until Jan 4 :) I'll ask them to try with a 64-bit live cd if they go visit again [02:34] who has tried JLime? [02:34] shawn146: sounds like a rapper distro [02:34] I cannot make an ISO image by brasero without retrials. How can I help that? To install gnome-baker? [02:35] rapper? [02:35] i hate rapper stuff [02:35] its a linux distro made for The Jornada 7xx [02:35] Emmanuel_Chanel: brasero has some issues ive seen.. i use k3b or some other burning apps [02:35] shawn146: so you won't like this distro :) [02:35] Dr_Willis what's the sys reqs on this? [02:35] hello, I can't mount te SD driver [02:35] wut [02:35] linusasus6: if sound is coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time, and those are on *one* device (not a usb headset), then that's jacksense brokenness and is a bug in your driver. pulseaudio has nothing to do with it! So I do what remove alsa and reinstall it? [02:35] jose__: rather minimal. [02:35] i have seen the distro on youtube [02:35] the directions are pictures [02:35] Dr_Willis: ok... [02:35] but no toutorial [02:35] with no words [02:35] gosh [02:35] besides this text file [02:35] Dr_Willis Haha, great. I think I found a way to bring an old pc back to life [02:36] hello, I can't mount te SD driver [02:36] jose__: yea. its a little weird compared to some disrtos. but handy [02:36] I like big distros and I cannot lie another brother cant deny when a round disc gets in your face you get... ;-) [02:36] how do i format to those filesystems [02:37] Dr_Willis would you recommend it over puppy linux or DSL? [02:37] jose__: its totally differnt design goal. [02:37] voss: .. cause you noticed that distro was stuck... [02:37] it says sdd instead sda [02:37] Dr_Willis meaning?

It doesn't see any wireless connections [02:37] jose__: check its docs.. you install what you want to it .. as needed.. its not a 'general desktop' disrto from the start.. [02:38] Dr_Willis okay, I see. I have no problems with that. [02:38] piercedwater: is it an nvidia?.. if so, did you set the resoution in nvidia-settings? [02:39] jose__: even things like sound drivers and wireless are not included by default [02:39] Im running ubuntu 10.10 on my tower and mint debian on my netbook [02:39] KM0201: How do I find out what kind of Graphics chip it is? nvidia-settings won't open from the terminal [02:39] wolf23: did you get it working? [02:39] piercedwater, what gfx hardware, do you know? [02:39] piercedwater: lspci in a terminal should show it... it's probably intel [02:39] lspci [02:39] KM0201: Yeah, I know its intel Extreme Graphics 2 [02:40] there's also a webpage where you can put your lspci -n and it'll tell you what modules it uses. [02:40] Dr_Willis well, the no wireless is a bit of a bummer, but the computer doesn't have a wireless card anyway so.. [02:40] intel video generally sucks [02:40] i put 10.10 desktop on an sd card via usb-creator, and it freezes before install begins. gets to gui and everything. [02:40] it's associated withd ebian. [02:40] debian even [02:40] any help with that? [02:40] hello, what would be the newest drivers for an nvidia gtx 460 ? for 10.10 ubuntu [02:40] piercedwater: yeah, i have an intel graphics device, but no problems w/ it mysteriously resetting though.. not sure on that one [02:41] piercedwater, open a terminal... [02:42] mute, bad sd card it happens [02:42] UnholyTerror: ok [02:42] piercedwater, i'm assuming this is the same computer you are on right now, correct? [02:42] voss, do you know of a way to get the exact processor information? the name isn't quite exact enough for google searching [02:42] voss, not? works fine [02:42] UnholyTerror: not the one im chatting on, but it is right next to me [02:42] piercedwater, better. [02:43] Mmm, this is some good cake. [02:43] Uh, hi. [02:43] :D [02:43] linusasus6: if sound is coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time, and those are on *one* device (not a usb headset), then that's jacksense brokenness and is a bug in your driver. pulseaudio has nothing to do with it! So I do what remove alsa and reinstall it? [02:43] piercedwater, type: ls -l /etc/X11/x* and tell me if there is an xorg.conf file. [02:43] iandees, the 64bit live cd is the easiest way to go, it will tell you if you dont have a 64 bit cpu [02:43] jose__: you can install the wireless drivers.. but then the disrto size doubles from 10mb to like 20 mb :) [02:44] piercedwater, note the case X11 not x11 [02:44] Dr_Willis, so what software does it have on regular install? [02:44] Linus, that may be a solution. But if it doesn't work... then a bug is a bug, it needs to be fixed. [02:44] Ok [02:44] Hi, why i get this error: http://pastebin.com/x7w0ik2Q after install php5-intl? (Ubuntu 10.10, PHP 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.1) [02:44] UnholyTerror: invalid option '/' [02:44] voss: what if you cat the output of /proc/cpuinfo [02:45] this is probably a "more info" kind of question but will an old ubuntu 6.10 game run on lucid [02:45] jose__: window manager, editor, terminal... [02:45] piercedwater, type: ls /etc/X11/x* [02:45] jose__: package manager tools.. [02:45] judge system monitor also works [02:45] specifically darwinia. bc i cant find a linux demo [02:45] voss: yep [02:45] piercedwater, type: ls /etc/X11/x* lower case LS [02:45] bsmith0931: there should be some desmos out of that [02:46] UnholyTerror: I see 3 files - xinitrc xinput.d xserverrc [02:46] voss: I'm more of a terminal kind of guy [02:46] bsmith0931: i was thinking i ran the comercial version last year on ubuntu.. [02:46] ok - no 'xorg.conf' file then. [02:46] no [02:46] Dr_Willis will be giving it a shot for sure. [02:47] Anyone kind enough to help me with my sound. PulseAudio is being cranky. When I get sound running out of two applications at once, it gets all wonky instead of simply outputing both audio simultaneously. [02:47] piercedwater: just type in: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:47] Will cmus play an mp3 stream like sky.fm? [02:47] piercedwater: that should regenarate the xorg.conf file [02:47] For example, I have a video streaming on firefox, then I open something in mplayer, the sound goes bad. But when I pause one it goes back to normal. [02:48] the terminal has its place, imho unless youre updating software you shouldnt have to deal with it [02:48] judgepg: the file still isnt there [02:48] piercedwater, ok, you are going to need to reboot it into recovery mode... [02:49] UnholyTerror: Ok, hang on [02:49] piercedwater: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then after the reconfiguration do a reboot as unholyterror said [02:49] piercedwater: or you can restart the gdm: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:49] UnholyTerror: cool nickname btw [02:50] judgepg, thx [02:50] Can someone tell me how I can see which driver a piece of hardware's using? [02:51] jose__, sudo lshw [02:51] UnholyTerror: I'm restarting gdm now [02:51] hey guys [02:51] alright thanks man [02:51] can someone help me [02:51] with? [02:52] UnholyTerror: Ok, I have rebooted [02:52] * Kelocena sobs in a corner. [02:52] i am trying to install ubunut under LVM [02:52] Kelocena, sorry I don't know.

[02:53] win xp and ubuntu [02:53] I thought you were going to saw 'COW' [02:53] lpuljic: the Desktop CD can't do it. The Alternate CD can.

[02:54] piercedwater, ??? [02:54] jose__: will that put all the fs under one volume group [02:54] Well, for starters, I've tried following http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup . And it's all edit /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc. And uh, I don't have either of those, namely because didn't Ubuntu stop using it after 9.10? [02:54] Hi. I have a toshiba with Lucid Lynx. How can I make the speakers mute when plugin in the headphones? [02:54] UnholyTerror: Should I try restarting now to see if the resolution stays the same? [02:54] piercedwater, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE [02:54] lpuljic fs? [02:55] So, uh. What do? [02:55] I don't know. [02:55] UnholyTerror: that didnt do anything [02:55] Sigh.

You can have multiple partitions, just encrypt the swap area too [02:56] There's an app called pianobar. Is it only available in the natty repos? I'm on lucid and not changing until the next lts [02:56] i [02:56] hai [02:56] everytime you boot you'll have to put in the password though [02:56] my name is syam [02:56] from indonesia [02:57] i'm using ubuntu [02:57] ok great! [02:57] Hello everyone [02:57] jose__: what i mean by under LVM, is that all the partitions will be under once volume group so that i can easily add more space when its needed [02:57] This is great. [02:57] any1 know if i can use my android tablet as midi device on ubuntu???? [02:57] Hi Jose, Hi Ubuntu [02:57] i have one quetion [02:57] about virtualbox [02:58] !enter | ubottu [02:58] smw: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[02:58] !enter | ubuntu [02:58] ubuntu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:58] UnholyTerror: It works, at least for now. Thanks.

I can mount the hard drives if needed and save data there [03:01] does anyone know how to install ubuntu onto an 8GIG USB? (NOT LIVE) [03:01] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Controller did not help me [03:01] mostly becus i did not understand it at all [03:01] aha i see [03:01] racines you mean full install [03:01] I've been told all I have to do is simply install it as usual but instead select the USB drive as the destination. However I'm still a bit worried =/ [03:01] much appreciate for the reposnds [03:01] yes full install [03:01] racines, that's how to do it... why are you worried [03:01] lpuljic you're welcome sorry I can't help more. [03:01] Rawr0192, I suggest http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/ [03:02] well I've read some places that I need to make a partition or something, or something to do with /home and a swap partition [03:02] mod: where does Grub end up when you do that?... that would be my concern [03:02] I have no idea what that all means =/ [03:02] Rawr0192, it is a userspace driver. It is much better than xpad [03:02] racines, yes that's correct. Make sure before clicking install you click the advanced tab and change the destination of the bootloader [03:02] [03:02] smw [03:02] where would I put the boot loader? [03:02] on the USB drive right? [03:02] how to PM? [03:02] Rawr0192, yes? [03:02] Rawr0192, don't [03:02] i have nothing in my /media/ except ".hal-mtab-lock" how do i fix it?

I picked the right disk, but it changed the configuration files on my system, lol [03:03] ok nvm anyways ive been to that site before and i dont get it either [03:03] racines yes on the USB. [03:03] what can i use to recover .jpg's that were deleted on a fat32 parition on an sd card? [03:03] im semi-new to ubuntu [03:03] and also, the reason I want to do this is because the live CD is INCREDIBLY slow to boot up so I thought if I did a full install it would be faster, is this true? [03:03] Rawr0192, I have no problem with PMs, but you should speak here if it is ubuntu related. [03:03] anyone know how i can mount my android tablet to ubuntu. google keeps bringing up ubuntu tablets in china that were leaked [03:03] ok [03:04] racines, well depends on your flash drive. I'm running Ubuntu off a flash drive right now and it works well. [03:04] microc0sm: are you trying to mount the tablet as a storage device? [03:04] How to enable local users delete files with vsftpd ? [03:04] which is the default charset in ubuntu? [03:04] yes but jose are you running live or full install? [03:04] !who | Rawr0192 [03:04] but smw do you think you could explain how to install that driver? [03:04] Rawr0192: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:04] waffle yes [03:04] I have 'Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880B [AudioPCI] (rev 02)' but when trying to run any app with padsp, I get 'Sorry but your soundcard can't do this' though it's worked fine before with apps using /dev/dsp [03:04] racines full install [03:04] then if possible as a midi device too [03:04] Is there anything I can do to make it work with pa? [03:04] Rawr0192, sure. First download the source code [03:04] How to enable local users delete files with FTP vsftpd ? [03:04] !smw where is that? [03:04] im using ubuntu server [03:05] Where is the grub menu located? I need to add an entry [03:05] Rawr0192, http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/xboxdrv-linux-0.6.1.tar.bz2 [03:05] microc0sm: you might be able to mount it as a storage device. Check under /dev for any new devices. It shouldbe prefixed with "hda" i believe [03:05] jimi_ /boot/grub/grub.cfg [03:05] !smw and where do i export it/ [03:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:05] how i connect printer in virtualbox [03:05] jose__, can i edit it, or do i have to update it some other means [03:05] Rawr0192, export? [03:06] Rawr0192, please stop using ! [03:06] im using black market app for all usb mounting progs and so far nothing is good. I am a noob so everything i do has to be gui sorry but i checked and no new devices.

[03:06] also I don't have to make any other partitions? I can just install it like this? [03:06] jimi_ if you want to update it run sudo grub-update. If you want to manually add an entry go to the file [03:06] ubuntu, you need to pass the USB device in settings [03:06] ok i ment extract sorry ive been working in GIMP all day [03:07] Rawr0192, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo . [03:07] racines, install the bootloader to sdc, make sure you have a swap [03:07] ubuntu, im not sure if you can use USB passthrough to use a printer on virtualbox but you can try it [03:07] micr0cosm: sorry, i can only help you on the command line. Unplug the tablet and type "ls /dev |grep hda" [03:07] i use system profiler and benchmark as gui to see all hardware and also check the places-computer [03:07] know any good games for ubuntu? [03:07] Rawr0192, read and follow the directions to compile it. You may ask questions if something confuses you [03:07] ok [03:07] ok [03:07] Anyone had any luck installing pianobar in lucid? What's the best way to go about it? [03:07] ok thanks so much smw honestly this really helps [03:07] racines: The c in sdc1 is the third detected drive medium and 1 is the first partition on the drive. [03:08] micr0cosm: then reinsert it and do the same thing. tell me if you see anything new show up [03:08] jon_athon, you need to try urban terror, you have to download it from the net [03:08] which is the default charset in ubuntu? [03:08] So......would I choose sc1 then? [03:08] ok 1 sec [03:08] tucemiux, is it resource intensive? I'm on an old machine [03:08] because it gives me the option to choose sdc or sdc1 [03:08] give it [03:08] (for boot loader) [03:08] choose sdc [03:08] Is there a way to get a remote server to show-up in Nautilus or in the diagol when trying to open files or save them? [03:08] do I need to make any other partitions? [03:08] how did you configure it? [03:08] jon_athon, yes, you need to have a fast video card, just go to go the ubuntu software center and search for games [03:09] I remember someone said I need to make a swap partition, but Im not sure what that even is [03:09] i have nothing in my /media/ except ".hal-mtab-lock" how do i fix it? [03:09] manual or did you let it set it for you? [03:09] racines: I would try sdc1 to be as specific as possible [03:09] tucemiux, Ya, I don't think my 7 year old laptop will support that. [03:09] oh man someone told me to do sdc =/ [03:09] now im confused [03:09] racines: You should have a swap partition.. have you used usb creator before? [03:09] waffle nothing . the spacing is bad? [03:09] No [03:09] racines, I used sdc without specifying partition and it works [03:09] okay [03:09] ah. try lincity ng [03:09] that one's pretty cool [03:09] did you make any other partitions jose__? [03:10] jon_athon, -->ubuntusoftwarecenter->"Games", there's plenty of games that your laptop can handle [03:10] because I was told to make a swap partition alongside it but im not sure what it will do [03:10] micr0cosm: it shouldn't be. try it with the space anyway. Also, if nothing shows up with "hda" try "sda" [03:10] if I didnt have a swap partition, would the install not work? [03:10] racines when you got to the part of the installer where you choose where to install did you let it do it for you or go with the manual option? [03:10] i chose the advanced option [03:10] Cool... what's that 2.d game where you have the two "tanks" lob artillery across a single frame terrain map?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:10] racines, most likely you can have an install without a swap partition if you have plenty of memory, I wouldnt recommend it though [03:10] Yes, then make a swap. It doesn't work without a swap racines [03:10] where it lists all the devices and gives me the option to make new partitions [03:11] ok i got it with sda [03:11] how big should I make the swap? [03:11] Is there a way to get a remote server to show-up in Nautilus or in the diagol when trying to open files or save them? [03:11] How big's the drive? [03:11] 8GIG [03:11] :P [03:11] 512MB to 1GB is good [03:11] hey [03:11] Any other partitions I need? [03:11] racines, I make it twice ram [03:11] microcosm: did you see another device show up when you ran "ls /dev | grep sda" after plugging it in? [03:11] And once made go to edit partition and set it as swap [03:11] Spirits-Sight: nautilus has a connect to server.. feature.. or you could use the 'sshfs' tool [03:11] jose__, what happened to the simple grub files? where you had a LABEL, etc ? this is crazy looking [03:12] racines how much ram do you have?

[03:12] remember guys he's installing to a usb drive [03:12] jose__, damn, i wanted to add etherboot to grub [03:12] racines, if you are going for easy, swap and root are all you absolutely need.

[03:22] smw, thats really knowing ur OS .. u musta been mostly in terminal :) [03:22] trojan_spike, wait, 18 in two weeks. So I have been using it for about a decade. [03:22] omg [03:22] I pressed enter and it sais [03:22] "using deafult value 1" [03:22] o_o [03:22] racines: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:22] yeah!!! [03:22] racines, that's all it says? [03:22] "First cylinder (1-2944) default 1):" [03:22] pressed enter now it sais: "Using default value 1" [03:23] Hello everyone, what's up [03:23] trojan_spike, yep, I have used an ungodly number of distros. Ubuntu was the one that stuck ;-) [03:23] now it sais "Last cylinder" [03:23] smw, :) and whats the best thing u can do on linux?? make software or anything?? jus to be nosey [03:23] : ) [03:23] smw, :) [03:23] okay, uh it doesn't say something like this Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (1-1044, default 1044): [03:23] ?? [03:23] yeah it does [03:23] trojan_spike, hack stuff together in a day and the shell is nice too :-) [03:24] "Last cylinder.............." [03:24] server under linux are fluid and stable [03:24] okay, how big do you want swap? [03:24] trojan: i'd say the biggest advantage of linux is it's sheer flexibility [03:24] wait was it supposed to say: "Using deafult value 1" ? [03:24] yes [03:24] uhh [03:24] jose__, the common rule is twice ram [03:24] im not sure what swap is but I guess 512MB? [03:24] racines how much RAM you got? [03:24] racines, twice ram is suggested [03:24] smw I know but he's trying to install to USB, might end up too small for his taste [03:24] im gonna twitter her yahoo till i goooogle all over her face...book [03:25] smw, u really know ur stuff.. u wana give me some advice?? How to be a power user in terminal..? [03:25] jose__, ah, I would not use it at all then [03:25] sorry dumb radio thing i heard [03:25] trojan_spike, use it :-P [03:25] i need help putting 10.10 desktop on a netbook [03:25] so.....1G? [03:25] (my usb is 8GIG) [03:25] if you want [03:25] smw, :) i do [03:25] trojan_spike, reading a tutorial on bash scripting would be good too [03:25] i dont even know what swap is though [03:25] racines how much ram do you have? [03:25] just put +1G if you want it to be one gig [03:25] trojan: i'd pick up the JumpStart Unix book, and. like smw said, just use it [03:26] I have tried to reinstall alsa and pulseaudio is not working my sound come out of speaker and headphone [03:26] erfolg, he's installing to usb [03:26] Or was it QuickStart... [03:26] smw, yea,, i thyink i will have to go outa my way sometime and learn bash [03:26] if you have like 2 gigs of ram and don't need to hibernate just don't use any swap [03:26] is special I got ubuntu and debian and both got the same issue for the sound in speaker and headphone in sametime [03:26] This isn't exactly ubuntu-related, but it scares me enough to need to ask it here. Does anyone understand what happened? http://pastebin.com/s4DKRt3D [03:26] trojan_spike, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ . Don't be afraid to skip over stuff in it ;-) [03:26] Dr_Willis: I installed Gnome Baker. It looks working fine. Thx answering me. [03:26] ctrl+alt+d not working [03:27] I typed enter nothing happened, just went back to: "Command (m for help)" [03:27] racines good so far? [03:27] trojan_spike: also, run a virtual machine or a test machine that you don't care about to try some of the more daring things [03:27] I typed: "+1G" btw [03:27] Dumb question maybe... I'm ssh-ed into a box, and I want to fire up an application, but I don't want to fire up another terminal to do more stuff. How can I just say GO and be dumped back to a cursor? [03:27] is it even a good idea to try and load ubuntu onto a compaq presario with 2 gb of ram and 250 Gb of hd space? (im putting it on an external 500gb HDD) [03:27] Hello guys [03:27] oh, well the other guys say you might not need a swap [03:27] craigbass1976, append & at the end [03:27] still don't know what swap is =/ [03:28] wafflesausage, im pretty decent in all that.. just bash mainly i think.. Buh u make a good point,, [03:28] how to i get ubuntu to work with a radeon x1300 xge graphics card? right now i have to run in failsafe low graphics mode [03:28] lol compaq presario 1501? [03:28] it's a random storage area like RAM for your comp racines [03:28] cq62 [03:28] it's stores junk there as needed [03:28] smw:ctrl+alt+d not working [03:28] hm [03:28] when I type +1G nothing happens [03:28] it just leaves a blank line and type outputs: "Command (m for help): [03:28] " [03:28] trojan_spike: also, i'd try running a "meta distribution". You'll be forced to learn if you want to use your comp [03:28] well, if you pressed enter twice nothing will happen [03:28] swap is pretty much useless now. [03:28] My install of wubi has something calle totem media player as the default video viewer. For some reason it does not play vids from the windows side with audio, but VLC does. How do I make VLC the default video player? [03:28] you have to delete the partition [03:28] just slows you down. [03:29] pavanai, what does ctrl+alt+d do? did you highlight the wrong person? [03:29] smw, vlc http://u10.sky.fm:80/sky_pianojazz_aacplus & ? This gives me a cursor again, but when I start typing, the app shuts down [03:29] okay so now what? [03:29] someone said something about a "/" and "/home" partition [03:29] :) .. [03:29] smw:no i jst want sombody to gimme a solution [03:29] or should I just install now? [03:29] meh, I've never used a /home partition [03:29] craigbass1976, put '' around the url [03:29] just use "/" [03:29] craigbass: have you tried typing ctrl+z? [03:29] linusasus6: its a presario cq62 [03:29] Does anyone know where gwibber themes are stored? [03:29] that's where Ubuntu will be saved during install [03:29] i have nothing in my /media/ except ".hal-mtab-lock" how do i fix it? [03:29] smw:ctrl+alt+d for show desktop [03:29] craigbass1976, the : is messing things up [03:29] no idea how to do that =/ [03:30] pavanai, I know nothing about that topic [03:30] 1337 people!

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [03:30] the only partition I have on my USB is: "/dev/sdc1" after typing: "p" on fdisk [03:30] Okay, on the installer, at the part where you choose the partition click on manual [03:30] If you don't want to have a swap just press q and enter [03:30] I'm still plugging away at this ;) Does anyone have 10.04 working with an Airport Extreme? [03:30] actually wait [03:30] then if I press "d" it selects partition 1 "/dev/sdc1" [03:30] press w first [03:31] and now I pressed p and nothing is there [03:31] yes, that'll delete it [03:31] press w?

[03:33] um? [03:33] on what? [03:33] craigbass1976, my guess is that the command is returning because something is wrong. I am pretty sure the lack of quotes was to blame [03:33] wolfjb, reconfigure to what? [03:33] okay, that's correct I see what you're saying [03:34] craigbass1976, run the command without & [03:34] then press w [03:34] and enter [03:34] show desktop shortcut not working in ubuntu [03:34] smw, no, that's the behavior I had in the first place (with no &) The command works fine.

[03:35] k [03:35] smw, vlc listen.pls This I believe is exactly the same as double clicking on that listen.pls file [03:36] smw:r u usin 10.10 [03:36] trojan_spike: when I select 'All Applications' none of the apps after those which start with the letter 'S' show up on the screen [03:36] wolfjb, are u using unity? [03:36] pavanai, yes [03:36] and choose sdc1 and edit it, file format ext3, check format, and choose "/" from the list [03:36] smw, the command isn't failing, what I want is to be able to use that terminal with the vlc app running in the background somehow. [03:36] wolfjb: i thinkg you want to play with System>Preferences> Main Menu [03:36] trojan_spike: I believe so, I installed the defaults from 10.10 [03:36] well I think theres no answer to my problem headphone must be no good for ear is for that theres no solution to my problem [03:36] smw but jst after installation it worked 4 me [03:37] let me know if you have any trouble racines [03:37] one sec [03:37] wolfjb, i think u might be looking the older version of netbook remix [03:37] wolfjb, 9.10 maybe? [03:37] craigbass1976, ok, try starting it, press ctrl + z, then bg %1 ------------ in a new terminal [03:37] is it normal for my "/dev/sdc" to contain a "Free space" partition?

[03:39] yeah, you made it 1GB for swap [03:39] wolfjb, or u could install the netbook remix from synaptic,, then uninstall unity? [03:39] if you're not gonna have a swap like others recommended to the whole disk [03:39] sound work perfectly on windows 7 is weird that on debian and ubuntu that are suppose to be better it doesnt work and no one got a solution [03:39] !hr | ai-qsh-ve [03:39] ai-qsh-ve: Odgovarajuci kanal za Hrvatski jezik je #ubuntu-hr, molimo Vas da se pridruzite tom kanalu ukoliko trebate pomoc za Ubuntu, hvala.

When I typed bg %1 it just echoed out the command that was running. I wanted to avoid the second terminal part. What I'm setting up is an ubuntu server, and the guy using it will be accessing it via windows. I'd like him to be able to putty in, fire up the player, and be able to close the terminal while the app continues to run.

[03:47] racines http://pastebin.com/KwWLeEGk [03:47] chattan: because Ubuntu thinks it's a good idea to do all repository and package management through Software Centre [03:47] all this is because Microsoft want to be on every machine every developper, every company and dont want to give chance to Linux [03:47] craigbass1976, you did not tell me that!

Choose sdc1 [03:49] now what, I just set the boot loader to sdc1? [03:49] [thor]:thnx i got it [03:50] smw, sorry, I thought being able to use the same terminal after running a command would amount to the same thing. I also want to be able to fire up a browser remotely and then use the same terminal to get into mysql. This should work for that as well.

[03:54] smw:i changd the key combo [03:54] anyone can help me [03:54] just make sure to boot into the USB and not your hard drive when you turn the computer on [03:54] Because the live takes literally like 4-5 minutes just to startup [03:54] Sean93, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/media-hal-mtab-and-media-hal-mtab-lock-617298/ [03:54] racines, I don't know.

[03:55] trojan_spike: ok, so I chose 'desktop' which at least puts the apps in the menus where I can find them [03:55] pavanai, I need to learn this new "gui" thing :-) [03:55] I suppose it depends on the flash drive [03:55] wolfjb: i sort of read what you want to do earlier.....just throwing it out there. but have you TRIED System>Preferences>MAIN MENU?

[03:56] ubuntu software center doesnt show it as installed but when i ran the .deb file it seems to have installed through there [03:56] wolfjb: some of the menus will stay hidden until you manually add programs into them. its not just going to sort out education programs for you once you enable the menu section. [03:56] anyone knows a good video converter for ubuntu [03:56] ?

[03:59] mitzed, why's that? [03:59] Anyone know anything about Moblock? [03:59] Nope [03:59] !anyone | Auriga [03:59] Auriga: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:59] i was asking for something and [04:00] none [04:00] lol [04:00] Does that mean you know something about Moblock? [04:00] mitzed, i have been here asking for an hour [04:00] mitzed Well, it is not like it used to be that is for sure [04:00] Auriga, it means you should ask the question. I have never heard of it [04:01] i'm trying to create a softlink directory from an external drive into a user directory that needs to be accessed from ftp when vsftpd is set to lock users into their homedir...is this possible? [04:01] Well, see ya peeps around. Good luck racines, hope I helped. [04:01] THen if you haven't heard of it... How can you help? [04:01] none of my drives auto mount, in /media/ i just have ".hal-mtab-lock". help me [04:01] Sean93, maybe your automount is turned off. try this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [04:01] I use Pidgin for IM. Unfortunatly I've found it's impossible to delete saved "Away" messages. I had thought you could just hover over an Away mssg and press Delete to permanently delete them, but after quitting and starting again the mssgs are still there. What am I missing? [04:01] Auriga, I am not sure I can, but someone else might. Ask the real question [04:02] i need a video converter for ubuntu [04:02] i cant install avidemuxç [04:02] sup gang... i needed help setting up a static ip address in mavrick... could anyone help? [04:02] ffmpg doesnt work [04:02] Folks this is a desperate issue -- I have Maverick here and I have an HP Pavilion dv6. Every time I close the lid for a little while I never get the display back. The only way is to turn it off and back on again. [04:02] Mitzed I was told that kdenlive has that capability, don't know if it's true though. [04:02] arista trancoder doesnt work [04:02] anything work [04:03] My GUI seems to be sluggish. Buttons don't respond immediately. Happens in file browser, web browser, app switching - all things that worked well before [04:03] Fezzler: do you have like 40 instances of gnome running again? [04:03] Fezzler, when was the last time you restarted? [04:03] re: Pidgin. When I use the drop-down menu to open the "Saved statuses" panel I find it empty--even though the saved statuses are still in the away messages selection [04:03] ive gone through a few tutorials on setting up a static ip but afterwards... my connections icon is missing! and i have to retort the /etc/network/interfaces file back to default [04:04] holoseen, my automount is on [04:04] KM0201> Never really figured out how to see if inappropriate apps of functions are running. smw> recently [04:04] Anyway, in Pidgin it seems quite impossible to delete saved Away messages permanently. Once you use one, you're stuck with it forever. [04:05] Fezzler: wasn't it you that was getting a ton of something opening, and as stuttering your system the other day [04:05] smw> only thing I know happened recently is my entire desktop got trashed and I had to reinstall it. And I update my nvidia driver [04:06] Sean93, its odd because when I disabled my automount, usb devices would not mount. Enabling it meant they would mount. [04:06] Fezzler, that could cause it [04:06] smw> ideas for remediation? [04:06] Fezzler, a problem with the nvidia driver could cause that. [04:06] Fezzler, downgrade? [04:06] Nobody here uses Pidgin? [04:07] Sean93, are you running maverick? [04:07] i justwant to set up a static ip so when i tell windows WINS what ip will be connection to its shares... but each time i try to do it, after i restart, my connectios icon is gone and im forced to reload the default /etc/network/interfaces file and change back to dchp [04:07] holoseen, yes [04:07] wyclif: not for IRC... [04:07] smw> nope, was having trouble getting compiz to work so I tried nvidia-common; then went back to nvidia-173 (recommended) [04:07] Sean93, just for grins, how long has it been installed? [04:07] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/692164 [04:07] KM0201: no, for IM [04:08] i have that same problem ^ [04:08] what the easiest way of goin about setting up ubuntu 10.10 on a static ip address? [04:08] wyclif: well it's a pretty straightforward program.. whats the problem? [04:08] Fezzler, maybe you have too much compiz stuff running [04:08] twiztid: you need to do that through your router, has nothng to do w/ ubuntu... [04:08] holoseen, im not sure, a few months? [04:08] KM0201: I cannot delete any saved "Away" messages [04:08] smw> you think uninstall and reinstall nvidia drivers [04:08] KM0201: but wont that affect other users who have their pcs set to dhcp [04:09] Hey all. [04:09] KM0201: I had thought you could hover over a particular saved Away message and press Delete, but when I restart Pidgin the old mssgs are still saved. Why? [04:09] Who needed a converter for Ubuntu? [04:09] DeVeDe is a really good one. [04:09] thks auriga [04:09] twiztid: no it doesn't.. you keep dhcp assigned.. then assign an IP to your router.. 99% of routers do this quite easily, i know netgear does [04:09] That program will help you, or you are checking it? [04:09] Would be good to know if it really can... [04:10] KM0201: Also, opening "Saved Statuses" shows an empty panel...even though the saved messages still appear in the app. [04:10] wyclif: dunno... what version of pidgin are you using? [04:10] KM0201: Pidgin 2.7.3 [04:10] im checking [04:10] wyclif: dunno man [04:10] hello, in Gnome, how is it possible to run a script upon: 1-screen lock?, 2-session logout? [04:11] twiztid, why not just go into network settings and set it for a static address? Just make sure the ip address you choose is outside the dhcp range [04:11] KM0201: assign an ip to my router? ive set up countless static ip addresses with windows but never had so much trouble before with ubuntu... [04:11] Sean93, heres a long shot, read this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/fix-usb-devices-automount-not-working.html [04:12] twiztid: i have no idea what you're trying to do... i static'd all my PC's in 2min from my router.. i'm not sure why you'd want to use the OS to do this. [04:12] MrKeuner, youo may want to check #gnome [04:12] sync3times: oh the static ip has to be OUT of dchps range? i though all this time that a static ip was a stationary ip that resided within dchp's list? [04:12] twiztid: what kind of router do you have? [04:12] smw> are you saying I should downgrade the driver or try a new one? [04:12] KM0201: linksys wrt54g [04:12] holoseen, My automount only stopped working a few hours ago, it sounds like his never worked [04:12] i'm sure there's a way to assign IP addresses. [04:13] twiztid, no, you can just -set- your ip address statically, but the router may assign another machine to that address unless you put your machine outside its range [04:13] KM0201, some people do not have admin access to their routers [04:13] Fezzler, truthfully, I have no idea. I would first disable compiz affects [04:13] holoseen, just re-read it, i was wrong [04:13] OT: anyone know where I can go to get some basic tips on mIRC? Switched from XChat and need some help [04:13] Fezzler, then try to switch to the driver I was using when it worked [04:13] sync3times: i dunno, seem sstrnage to me.. a router assigns IP addresses... a PC doesn't tell the router what it wants... at least in my experience [04:13] smw> Well, that was easy because I never got them going :) [04:14] Sean93, were you messing with wireless drivers lately? [04:14] Fezzler, isn't mirc a Windows only software [04:14] holoseen, no, the only thing i did defferntly today was burn a disc using Imgburn in wine [04:14] icarus-c> Oh, is it? I was looking for XChat options [04:15] sync3times: gotcha... ok that makes some sense... ill look into it a little bit more... but ya, basiclly i would like to set up my ubuntu laptop to a static ip so when i tell windows netbios over tcp/ip what ip address will be connectiong to its shares.. hopefully solves my, "unable to mount location. failed to mount Windows share" error with samba... :( [04:15] Sean93, interesting. Have you tried logging on as another user? [04:15] i don't have another user [04:15] Fezzler: why do you come to #ubuntu to ask questions about windows software? [04:15] holoseen, i don't have another user [04:16] or do you run mirc on wine? [04:16] KM0201, the router dhcp server is a service and is optional. You can turn it off. The router just passes packets. Thats it. I will admit that letting the router do it can be better in the case where the router does not provide dns forwarding. and laptops almost always want to stay dhcp [04:16] Sean93, you can create another user easily. I am thinking that some permissions or other config got screwed up. Try another user. [04:17] twiztid, will your laptop be leaving the house? [04:17] anyone know a good firewall for ubuntu? [04:17] sync3times: maybe... and thats a big maybe in the event that i would like to teamview it [04:17] sync3times: teamview to my pc that is [04:17] holoseen, how do i add a user? [04:18] twiztid, dunno what teamview is. Are you setting the wireless fixed or the wired or both [04:18] sync3times: but otherwise no, all i want is to ba able to access my shared external harddrive that is connected to my XP machine from ubuntu by auto mounting it in fstab [04:18] I have a question about XBMC, when I play movies on it, the coloring is all wrong. A bit like one of the RGB colors is missing, and sometimes it comes back, but then another color drops out. I have fiddled with the settings, but cannot seem to fix it. I have a radeon HD5470 in a laptop. any ideas? [04:18] ShapeShifter499, for what purpose? [04:19] Sean93, goto System (at the top), then administration, then users and groups. [04:19] smw, keeping my computer safe when running a irc server like ircd [04:19] sync3times: teamview is a free remote desktop assistance viewer that works extreamly well for bing free [04:19] ShapeShifter499, a firewall will not keep your computer safe. [04:19] in ubuntu is possible add the sources of edubuntu ? are the same or not? and how can i do it? === bombshelter13b_ is now known as bombshelter13 [04:20] smw, someone on ##linux suggested that [04:20] twiztid, that should work without fixing the IP address by using netbios name resolution to find the machine. [04:20] mitzed, yes it is possible, I think they are in the default repository. === bombshelter13 is now known as bombshelter13b [04:20] ShapeShifter499, a firewall is not what you are looking for [04:20] chris_osx> I didn't know it was just Windows platform. Relax. Why do you have osx in your handle in a ubuntu channel? [04:20] smw ok what ?> [04:20] mitzed, do you know how to use synaptic (in Gnome, Im not sure what the KDE version is called) [04:20] ShapeShifter499, a firewall really does not do much. [04:20] how do i get my radeon x1300 xge card to work? i have to run in low resolution, it said no device detected. i replaced an nividia card but did not uninstall the prop drivers [04:20] mm yes [04:21] ShapeShifter499, you just don't need a firewall [04:21] smw ya but I don't want a hacker attack [04:22] ShapeShifter499, a firewall is for controlling access based on ports. That is not useful for much [04:22] sync3times: so i should make sure netbios over tcp/ip is enabled but what do i put in WINS for ipadresses? or is there a simpler way of automounting windows shares when ubuntu starts up? ive tried for days to mount this windows share but always get, "unable to mount location. failed to mount windows share" [04:22] why don't i see "[[118640.111000]] sd 1:0:0:0: [[sda]] Attached SCSI removable disk" on the line of dmesg | tail [04:22] ? [04:22] mitzed, if you search edubuntu in synaptic, I get a list of edubuntu packages. If you want all the packages that come from a standard edubuntu disk, then you can either use the disk as a repository, or you will have to find the packages. [04:22] smw what do you suggest than? [04:22] *then [04:22] <[thor]> ShapeShifter499: ufw comes stock ( use the command 'man ufw' on the CLI ) [04:23] [thor], is there a gui for that? [04:23] i hve a cd of edubuntu 7.10 [04:23] i can use it [04:23] ShapeShifter499, secure your ircd right. That is the only way to stop a "hacker attack" [04:23] ? [04:23] twiztid, have you tried just using smbclient by the command line? Does that work by name, or just by IP address? Are you sure you are using the right name? [04:23] <[thor]> ShapeShifter499: search the software center for "Firewall Configuration" [04:23] Fezzler: i am totally relaxed. i was just curious why you come up with that question in #ubuntu. I have my nickname chris_osx for a long time now and some people know me. that's why i keep it [04:23] ShapeShifter499, make sure normal users can't do something stupid (or smart) [04:23] <[thor]> ShapeShifter499: icon is a blue and silver shield [04:23] EVERYBODY FUCKING JOIN [04:23] #PISSOFF [04:23] Darkstarc4: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:24] .. [04:24] lol [04:24] mitzed, yes. [04:24] sync3times: eh, not sure.. but it works both name and ip as far as i know... what do you suggest? [04:24] oh god im scared of being muted [04:25] twiztid, if it works by name from the command line, then what are you putting in fstab? [04:25] smw ok I'll have to google more on this [04:25] sync3times: to automount on startup... [04:25] sync3times: thats wat countless tutorials say to do [04:25] twiztid, ok, if you type mount /your/path does it mount? [04:25] Fuck you Tm_T [04:26] chris_osx> we're cool. tired of XChat and saw some good things about mIRC and thought it was multi-platform like XChat. Just wanted to see if ubuntu crowd is using it [04:26] OldBlue: check out irssi [04:26] [thor], ok then thanks [04:26] love irssi - sings - just don't have time to tweak [04:27] was that a ban? [04:27] how do i get open source drivers for radeon x1300 graphics card? [04:27] find my self tweaking irssi all the time to see what it can do [04:27] OldBlue: do you have something specific in mind? [04:28] !modes > shawn146 [04:28] shawn146, please see my private message [04:28] nope [04:28] i like irssi [04:28] oh [04:28] !modes > chris_osx [04:28] chris_osx, please see my private message [04:29] (gedit:3964): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking IsSupported() failed for remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.GduVolumeMonitor: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor received signal 6 [04:29] sync3times: mount: can't find //xptwiztid/slave in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [04:29] hi [04:29] twiztid, no // do you have an entry in fstab for the filesystem?

[04:30] knoppies, I do this as root... [04:31] deeeed, Im not sure, let me man mount. [04:32] twiztid, ok. Frankly, I would not do the fstab for a laptop. I would concentrate on writing a little script that will reliably mount the drive. And then make a button to run the script [04:32] twiztid, you dont want to get in a situation where you take the laptop on the road and have it hang trying to mount stuff that isnt there [04:32] deeeed, if you try using the switch -w? [04:32] same [04:33] sync3times: ya! true that... even on shutdown.... so how would i go about that? i cant even mount it in nautilus [04:33] deeeed, Im not sure. Maybe it has something to do with permissions, like the directory tree structure has someone else set as its owner and you only have read-only permissions?? [04:33] how big should a swap partition be? [04:34] for linux [04:34] small linux [04:34] I tried to changed the permissions etc... and mI am running as root [04:34] root@seyan:/media# mount -t hfsplus -o rw,user,auto,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,force /dev/sdb1 SAMSUNG/ [04:34] root@seyan:/media# chmod +w SAMSUNG/ [04:34] chmod: changing permissions of `SAMSUNG/': Read-only file system [04:34] shawn146: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq goes over it [04:34] it just doesn't take the rw [04:35] Will Aquaria run on a GMA900? Running it, I get the loading screen, but it crashes out once fully loaded [04:35] can the login screen for ubuntu NR 10.04 be changed? [04:36] what about for JLime [04:36] twiztid, can you mount -t smbfs //pcname/sharename /mountpoint and it work? [04:36] adifferent distro [04:36] deeeed, is it maybe a flash card with a 'read only' switch on it? [04:36] knoppies, it's not [04:36] spartan7 i have actually been trying to figure that out forever, which part are you trying to change? [04:36] this distro is about 256 MEGS [04:36] *MB;s [04:36] sparkie, Im not sure about the NR, but I downgraded gdm to 2.20 on 10.04, it gave me the old login screen. [04:37] sorry sparkie, that was for spartan7 [04:37] shawn146: no idea, go ask them. This channel's for Ubuntu ;P [04:37] spartan7, read up. [04:37] My install of wubi has something calle totem media player as the default video viewer. For some reason it does not play vids from the windows side with audio, but VLC does. How do I make VLC the default video player? [04:37] sync3times: mount error: could not resolve address for xptwiztid: No address associated with hostname [04:38] Will Aquaria run on a GMA900? Running it, I get the loading screen, but it crashes out once fully loaded [04:38] twiztid, does it work substituting ip address for the pcname? [04:39] Shaba1, you may need to install certain gstreamer plugins for totem to play some video/audio format. anyway, to make vlc as default play, you could go System -> Preferences -> Preferred application -> Multimedia [04:39] oh sorry [04:39] found the channel [04:39] what does /bin/sh: sudo: not found mean? [04:39] sync3times: Unable to find suitable address. ??? [04:39] twiztid, can you ping your xp machine? [04:40] Shaba1, you could also change the default player of each audio/video format individually. [04:40] mutebuntu, if you just type in sudo echo "hello"? [04:41] Can someone help me with a problem? [04:41] jjmwood: maybe. ask your question [04:41] jjmwood , problem? [04:42] same knoppies [04:42] krannx2, the part where you choose user and enter password [04:42] sync3times: host unreachable... makes sense [04:42] well i used ubuntu before with Vista and didnt have a problem but now i have it with XP installed and it always freezes and the screene goes in a zig zag kinda way [04:43] it happens randomly [04:43] krannx2, have not found many articles on 10.04 or 10.10. I have on older version [04:43] spartan7, http://www.n00bsonubuntu.net/content/how-to-change-the-login-screen-of-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat-2/ [04:43] mutebuntu, it seems as though your sudo is either not where it should be, or not installed. Im not sure how to install it without sudo (unless you login with root, can you do that??) Are you running ubuntu? [04:43] jjmwood yre using dual boot [04:43] knoppies, im stuck in initramfs [04:43] or virtual machines [04:43] ? [04:43] nick omega [04:43] spartan7: but if you want more custimazation then that i cant help you, as that is actually what im trying to figure out === ubuntu is now known as omegafd [04:44] and for some reason my usb drive installers wont work [04:44] mutebuntu: whats your issue?? [04:44] mutebuntu, I dont know anything about that. Im sorry. [04:44] mitzed: What? [04:44] where can i get help with dmraid [04:44] krannx2, im starting with this. thank you for the link [04:44] jjmwood: are you using VMware or virtualbox or is it a dual boot thats what he wants to kno === AntiHope is now known as RedXIII [04:45] its dual booted with XP right now. [04:45] krannx2, spartan7. I downgraded gdm to version 2.20 using an old 9.10 repository with 10.04, I assume you can do the same with 10.10. I haven't tried yet. It seemed to work without any problems. [04:45] what do i do if the opensource radeon drivers do not work? [04:45] thanks, knoppies. needlez, i cant boot into gui and im stuck in initranmfs console. ive tried a variety of methods to reinstall from a flash drive, but the computer freezes [04:45] if you have windows xp installed on yre hd or you are using a program like virtual vox to run xp [04:45] thanks knoppies, ill try that [04:46] its on my local Hard drive [04:46] no Its dual booted with XP [04:47] krannx2, I hope it works and that it doesn't screw up your GDM, I do know that it tried to start gdm twice, so you have to remove one. [04:47] knoppies, good idea thanks [04:47] oh well that could be an issue haha [04:47] spartan7, my pleasure. It does try start GDM twice, so you have to remove one of the starting methods. I found out how to do that in a tutorial somewhere. If all else fails, try the ubuntu forums. [04:48] it used to freeze on vista but i fixed it by putting the power Saver to Max [04:48] jjmwodd maybe u hve a damaged disk [04:48] knoppies, will do. thanks [04:48] no the Disk isnt dammaged [04:48] is there anyone available? i need some help with dmraid [04:49] sync3times: so what should i do about host unreachable? [04:50] can someone help me? [04:50] in vista the GPU kept powering down or something and i fixed that but i dont know how to on ubuntu [04:51] ! ask | glitfchd [04:51] glitfchd: 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. :-) [04:51] is there anyways to reinstall a kernel? i removed the wrong one and cant boot my system now.. [04:52] glitfchd: If you can chroot into the file system from a live cd, it's possible [04:52] soreau can u give me some instructions on how to do so? [04:52] ! chroot | glitfchd [04:52] glitfchd: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [04:52] jjmwood your freezes are in ubuntu? [04:53] yo [04:53] i need to edit partions on a raid (raid 0) in gparted but it only sees the disks, any ideas? [04:53] soreau is there any instructions [04:54] glitfchd: Read what ubottu gave you [04:54] glitfchd?? is this glitchd:??? [04:54] Will Aquaria run on a GMA900? Running it, I get the loading screen, but it crashes out once fully loaded [04:55] needlez yes it is me === solomon_ is now known as Sunsp0t [04:55] needlez...lol i accidentially removed my active kernel and now cant boot my system [04:55] ouch [04:56] Hey all, just installed Ubunty and am LOVING it. [04:56] ouch, yes [04:56] Was an avid user of Sabayon, but I must say the cohesiveness of this distro is fantastic. [04:56] needlez any clue how to reinstall a kernel to get a working system again? [04:56] hello [04:56] glitfchd: yes i have an idea [04:57] needlez i really dont want to reinstall the whole system and lose everything that ive done in there already [04:57] glitfchd: I told you. boot a live session and chroot into the file system [04:57] twiztid, is your xp firewall on? [04:57] glitfchd: what you need to do is to hold shift when you restart your machine, then if you have any kernels startup in anyone of them and then reload up the kernel that you accidently deleted... then reboot and load into the new kernel [04:58] i need to format a hard disk running windows using ubuntu usb disk,,,any ideas??? [04:58] TariQMowafy: just do it. [04:58] how to? [04:58] glitfchd: however if you have no images when you restart and hold shift... im sorry to say it but you'll have to prolly do a fresh install [04:58] !usb | TariQMowafy [04:58] TariQMowafy: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:59] needlez when grub comes up, i have burg ontop of it, i click the kernel thats listed and it does nothing at all [04:59] i need to format the hard disk it has a windows that wont work [04:59] glitfchd: even if you have to reinstall, you can use the livecd to back /home up [04:59] needlez so essentially i cant boot anything but windoes [04:59] give me ( no operating system failure === CripperZ is now known as CripperZ-away === CripperZ-away is now known as CripperZ [04:59] glitfchd: aww not good [04:59] needlez no sir [04:59] glitfchd: let me check a few more things before i tell ya the bad news [04:59] hello all [05:00] sync3times: ya but i thought i gave it proper exceptions... guess not lol any way i can leave it on and still access the share? [05:00] needlez...lol ok [05:00] anyone know how to install ubuntu from grub [05:00] is there a way to add shortcuts to URLS onto a plasma desktop with the icon from the website? [05:00] I am trying to install a SSL cert and it is telling me that it is a self signed cert (when it is not) how do I go about troubleshooting where the problem is? [05:00] twiztid, I would try to get things working with it down, and then bring it back up. that way you at least know what you are doing is not being affected by the firewall [05:00] mutebuntu: invalid operation. [05:00] mutebuntu, get unetbooting [05:01] twiztid, its behind the router firewall correct? [05:01] mutebuntu: grub is a bootloader, not an installer [05:01] unetboot doesnt work for me. [05:01] i install it to a flash drive and it freezes [05:02] during boot [05:02] mutebuntu with unetbooting? [05:02] mutebuntu: can you see at what point it's freezing? [05:02] can anyone help me, Ubuntu keeps freezing [05:02] so im trying to install from the original ubuntu install, which sticks at initramfs [05:02] jjmwood: you'll need to be more specific than just 'keeps freezing' [05:02] any ideas about the icons? i looked all over google and found nothing [05:03] but i cant seem to do anything in initramfs either... [05:03] GNea: true [05:03] needlez....?? [05:03] sync3times: um i dont believe so... is that enabled by default? i have a windows firewall... [05:03] mutebuntu: that, also, does not make any sense. initramfs is standard. [05:03] the screen goes in a zig zag kinda way and you have to restart it to use it. it happens randomly [05:03] glitfchd: from what i understand since you removed the image you have no way to get to linux or a linux terminal so you'll have to do a fresh install im so sorry man [05:04] hi. what is the string to make time display only hour and minutes? i cant get the seconds to go away [05:04] jjmwood: what method do you use to restart? [05:04] sync3times: so i guess, both firewalls? [05:04] needlez...wompwompwommmmmp [05:04] Gnea, standard? is there any way to reinstall ubuntu from a console? [05:04] twiztid, no, not both [05:04] i hold the power button untill it turns off [05:04] needlez theres no way to install a kernel from the install disc? [05:05] mutebuntu: you can't reinstall from within itself, if that's what you mean [05:05] it is [05:05] twiztid, I was just thinking if you have the router providing firewall on a small network, then you might be able to take down the windows one to get things going. [05:05] Gnea, do i use gParted? [05:05] does anyone have a laptop with the intel 82845G intergrated graphics? [05:05] TariQMowafy: you could [05:05] glitfchd: you could essentially try that, but not sure how that would work, you'd prolly have to boot into livecd and then install the kernel and add it to the grub.conf file [05:05] Gnea, ok [05:05] sync3times: ok leave the router firewall alone and turn off windows's? ya ill try that... and report back shortly... thx bro [05:05] glitfchd: not sure how to do that tho [05:06] Does anyone here know how to add a page turning transition to an openoffice impress slideshow? [05:06] sync3times: seems so minor to be able to access a shared network drive... idea: should i map it in windows? [05:06] Gnea, since i cant seem to get it to boot from unetbooting, i figured id apt-get the install from within one of the consoles, but neither supports that it seems. [05:06] mutebuntu: I guess it depends on what's broken [05:06] needlez....dam i dont want to reinstall..againnnnnn [05:06] Gnea, im making another boot disk for the fifth time :I [05:07] hi. what is the string to make time display only hour and minutes? i cant get the seconds to go away [05:07] Not directly ubuntu related, but is there anyway I can replace windows with linux on a tablet pc and have it work? [05:07] twiztid, you should share the drive you want to share [05:07] glitfchd: i know what you mean, i may be doin a reinstall myself to possibly fix gnome-power-manager, ..lol don't think itll make difference for me.... [05:07] mutebuntu: well, your vagueness tends to lend credibility to the possibility that you've either done this before with another distribution of linux, or you're just trying to pull at straws [05:08] Gnea, im being vague because i dont know what im looking for [05:08] ya i have it shared (simple file sharing off) and gave read/write permissions... [05:08] does anyone have intel intergrated graphics and have problems watching youtube videos in general and have video lag with any sort of normal process? [05:08] sync3times: ya i have it shared (simple file sharing off) and gave read/write permissions... [05:08] mutebuntu: okay, that's helpful. how long have you been using ubuntu? [05:08] enplaswan, I think so, but dont ask me. I remember seeing that touchscreen mutli touch is now stock with ubuntu. I can't remember where I saw it though. [05:09] Hi, everyone...how do I tell ubuntu to use ALSA instead of Pulse Audio? [05:09] jkoch: i don't have any problems with that [05:09] mutebuntu: if when your trying to install ubuntu if it hangs at initramfs then there is an issue with either the disk image you have or there is an issue with the image and the system specs you have... for instance my machine would load initramfs and hang there on 10.04 LTS and still does... had to get 10.10 [05:09] how do i completely remove mysql server along with all its conf and data dir and reinstall? [05:09] !pulseaudio | JoAnneThrax [05:09] JoAnneThrax: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [05:09] how to use crackair-ng? [05:09] twiztid, simple file shareing off....is that right? [05:09] chris_osx: did you have to do anything when you first installed? [05:09] Gnea: Thank you [05:09] Gnea, not long. a month on the desktop and a week on the netbook with problems [05:09] JoAnneThrax: should be something in /etc/default/pulseaudio [05:09] jkoch: no [05:09] needlez, ive tried both [05:10] chris_osx: laptop or desktop? [05:10] sync3times: yup yup [05:10] mutebuntu: I see. on the netbook, are you using standard ubuntu or ubuntu remix? [05:10] plz help me how to use crackair-ng [05:10] jkoch: eeepc netbook [05:10] Ok, having some dificulties here ... trying to boot kubuntu install and getting "Unable to find a meduum contaning a live file system" ... any help? [05:10] indrajeet, well I know there are tablet computers that come with linux already instlled, but I can get my hands on a decent one hardware wise with windows on it, and I don't want the windows part. [05:10] chris_osx: hmmm, do you think it could be that i have a celeron processor or only 1gb of ram? [05:10] Gnea, i was using standard after switching from remix. it worked for a week. [05:10] jkoch: which is a pineview n450 atom [05:11] jkoch: no [05:11] mutebuntu: what kind of computer specs and all, maybe something like with mine, acpi had issues and couldnt load up, you might try turning of acpi when loading up the disc or turning of modeset... not too sure [05:11] anyone have any advice on troubleshooting a SSL cert that is saying it is self signed, when I have an intermediate cert from Verisign? [05:11] enplaswan:i am not using windows i am ubuntu user [05:11] mutebuntu: I recommend going back to remix and using 10.04 [05:11] mutebuntu: that's what I use on my eeepc and it's rock solid [05:11] chris_osx: well if you did have some video lag, what would you try doing to fix it? i tried installing the drivers but they are already installed and i've reinstalled and rebooted 30 times [05:12] needlez any clue where i can look for some information on this? [05:12] needlez, theres no option for that in eeepc bios. Gnea, i would if unetboot didnt hang on boot each time. [05:12] jkoch: what kind of celeron is that? is it a newer model or very old? [05:12] mutebuntu: its not in the bios [05:13] mutebuntu: tried usb-creator? [05:13] mutebuntu: its on the disk when you choose to boot from the disk, press F6 i think and it should be in there [05:13] comcast and fedora are in bed with each other. the moment selinux permissions moved to permissive, 4 patched rpms came rushing down my system update. i'm back for good now after that, with at&t and ubuntu [05:13] needlez, screw it, im just gonna wipe it and reinstall [05:13] needlez, dammit. [05:13] needlez i hate reinstalling [05:13] glitfchd: sorry man [05:13] mutebuntu: unetbootin can be hokey at times, usb-creator can work in some cases [05:14] how do i set folder permissions on an external ntfs hdd? [05:14] that would not happen under at&t [05:14] needlez not your fault but thx [05:14] glitfchd: do you have a usb pendrive or something? [05:14] chris_osx: i'm not sure exactly how old it is, but it's one of those silver and blue dell inspiron 1100's. i just got it for $40 from someone of craigslist. the display was great on xp but i need ubuntu :) [05:14] Gnea yes i have a 8 gig, y? [05:14] gnea yes :( same result. needlez, i didnt know that, but it says it cant find root during boot and reverts to an initramfs console [05:14] glitfchd: you ought to be able to back stuff in your /home up on there before reinstalling [05:14] jkoch: have you got flash plugin installed? [05:15] glitfchd: Why don't you just chroot into the filesystem? [05:15] chris_osx: doesn't it come preinstalled with chrome? [05:15] soreau how is that going to allow me to reinstall a kernel? [05:15] jkoch: if not, then that flash replacement is probably the problem [05:15] mutebuntu: who makes your usb stick? [05:15] jkoch: no [05:15] soreau and i dont know how to use chroot [05:15] soreau i dont understand the guide [05:15] jkoch: install flash plugin [05:15] jkoch: then it should work smoothly [05:15] mutebuntu: that sounds like the image you got is bad, where did you get the image?? is the 32bit or 64 bit and is it orginal or alternative image?? [05:16] glitfchd: You will be running the kernel from the live cd and you can chroot into the filesystem on disk to reinstall the kernel === Mohammad- is now known as MohammadAG [05:16] chris_osx: but either way, even this irc is laggy and opening up a window. its obvious video lag at all times [05:16] Will Aquaria run on a GMA900? Running it, I get the loading screen, but it crashes out once fully loaded [05:16] glitfchd: I will give you a simple example of how to use it [05:16] soreau pm me === Lint01 is now known as feanor2 [05:16] Gnea, its a few. the first was a pny, the second a sd card adapter. ive downloaded varying versions today and put them on both to verify it wasnt an image problem. [05:16] jkoch: strange [05:16] is there a keyboard editor for Linux in ubntu? [05:16] needlez, above [05:17] mutebuntu: ah, pny tends to give me various issues, always had good luck with sandisk [05:17] chris_osx: yeah :/ my old laptop had no problem with ubuntu [05:17] chris_osx: "Your Google Chrome browser already includes Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. Google Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available." [05:17] Gnea, indeed, the second is a sandisk [05:18] mutebuntu: I'd stick with that one then if you can [05:18] Anyone know why my Ubuntu installation will not boot? It has been stuck on: "_" and its just blinking [05:18] Then after a while the screen will go black [05:18] mutebuntu: is this a netbook or laptop??? cuz what im thinking you should put it to cd and check it ... or go into bios and check the usb default setup... is it on legacy or what?? [05:18] I just installed it onto a USB, did not use a swap partition though. Not sure why it won't boot [05:18] racines: check your bios and make sure it has boot from usb as the first option? [05:19] Well it listed all of the Linux options [05:19] Ubuntu Linux options* [05:19] ie: recovery mode and stuff [05:19] needlez, eeepc is a netbook, so no cd drive. also, f6 at boot puts me back in initramfs console [05:19] jkoch: which resolution do you have? 1024*768? [05:19] i'm on 10.10 and just installed my hp photosmart plus 210b via wifi, i used hplip 3.10.9, scanner works fine and all printer settings are reported correctly, but printing ONE test page prints 4 pages full with garbled numbers [05:20] the header of the first page says: This file was created by pdftopdf [05:20] mutebuntu: just an FYI, this is what I use: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171466&cm_re=sandisk_flash_drive-_-20-171-466-_-Product [05:20] It is running the USB because my HDD has Kubuntu [05:20] My USB has Ubuntu [05:20] chris_osx: yes, it won't let me change anything [05:20] However when I boot into Ubuntu........the screen just goes black [05:20] racines this hapened me i solved it disconecting my pci devices [05:20] how do I do that? [05:20] i'm trying to share my usb hdd over a windows network.. i am using samba.. windows can see the shares but cannot access them.. [05:21] is it done through the BIOS? [05:21] disconnect your pci devices from your case [05:21] Uh its a netbook [05:21] mmm [05:21] mm [05:21] you used a USB installer? [05:21] - [05:21] I mean [05:21] - [05:21] karma_police: then you need to tell samba to allow it to be accessed [05:21] you installed Ubuntu onto your USB? full install? [05:22] i use a full installation of ubuntu 10.10 [05:22] what command does that? i tried to change folder access permissions and it won't let me === AntiHope is now known as RedXIII [05:22] karma_police: what did you use to try to change folder access? [05:23] hi all :) what's a good way to rotate/flip a PDF? [05:23] (or perhaps rotate/flip a window?!) [05:23] right clicked.. properties.. permissions.. folder access [05:24] karma_police: in windows or ubuntu? [05:24] would this line work? sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remount,uid=$UID /media/Guts1.5 [05:24] ubuntu [05:24] i am trying to share across network to windows clients [05:24] karma_police: that should work as long as $UID is set correctly [05:24] karma_police: well, you need to configure samba, that can be done by using swat [05:24] !swat [05:24] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [05:25] karma_police: simply right-clicking on a folder in ubuntu doesn't afford the same level of ease that doing so in windows does [05:26] i see that.. i'm a noob still.. loving linux tho [05:26] any ideas on whats going wrong here: http://pastebin.com/DmsMrwFQ [05:26] karma_police: awesome, everyone's a noob at some point [05:29] some software to reppair dead pixels????

[05:29] mitzed use wine [05:30] yes [05:30] Gnea: I removed pulse audio, but none of my sound is working. Do you know what file I need to edit to get ALSA running as the default again? [05:30] dead pixel in monitor [05:30] francisco, isn't dead pixel are damaged hardware [05:30] Anyone know why my Ubuntu full install on my USB fails to load? [05:30] So I'm dual booting with Windows 7 and Ubuntu and decided I wanted to remove the Ubuntu partition so I booted up in Windows and then used the partition tool to delete ubuntu's partition, and so on and so forth. now when I boot up it loads into grub rescue mode.. saying it cannot find the partition, how do I fix this? [05:30] It gives me a list of methods for load ubuntu ie: normal, recovery, how ever when I load it the screen just goes black [05:30] but i read that software must help [05:30] gives me a blinking "_" for a minute or so and then it goes blank [05:30] nothing happens after that [05:31] with wine runs too slow [05:31] architech_, use your Windows rescue disk and fixboot or whatever. that's windows matter [05:31] JoAnneThrax: you should be able to access the sound settings from the system menu [05:31] Any other ways.. I kinda don't have the DVD. [05:31] i'm lost.. i'm trying to change folder permissions on a usb hdd with ntfs in order to share with windows clients over network.. i can see the shares on the windows computers however cannot access them... [05:32] architech_, the reason for this is simple. your computer has been using Ubuntu Linux's boot loader called grub. and grub needs files that are stored on Ubuntu's partition to work, and you have deleted them [05:32] Gnea: I don't have a system menu; I'm using WIndowMaker as my window manager. [05:32] anyone? [05:32] icarus-c: yeah I understand that, but even when I try and reinstall ubuntu it says BOOTMGR missing.. [05:32] Gnea: It was booting into the Gnome version that, apparently, put pulse-audio in charge... [05:32] architech_, i'm afraid you have to consult Windows users in order to recover WIndows boot loader [05:33] architech_, alternatively you could make a partition for grub and make grub work again. your choice [05:33] I will go for that option, how to do that? [05:33] is there a keyboard editor for Linux? [05:33] architect save ur data in a external hd [05:33] and format [05:33] it's easier [05:34] francisco: i cba taking the drive out and plugging it into another computer =x [05:34] how do i get 3d acceleration? [05:34] hii...everybuddy [05:34] steiner: by installing your graphic drivers. [05:34] steiner u must install restricetd drivers [05:34] architech_, that won't be easy but. [05:34] nvidia or whatever [05:34] why does my ubuntu isntallation fail to load? I installed it onto a USB full install. gives me the boot options ie: normal, recovery but after I boot normally it gives me a blinking "_" for a minute or so and then the screen just goes black and nothing happens.

[05:59] so i though u might of not seen it [05:59] when i burn it, the resulting dics doesnt boot [05:59] steiner2: Get rid of any nvidia or flgrx packages, remove xorg.conf and reboot [06:00] lpuljic: I don't know of one. Last time I tried I didn't have too much difficulty though. Will you be able to be on IRC while you're installing? [06:00] soreau: yea i upgraded from a nvidia card to a better ati card [06:00] i thought i removed everything [06:00] jenna use a download manager [06:00] krannx2: if two open up, it won't be the end of the world - one will likely sit on tty7 while the other on tty8. From there, it's simply a matter of disabling the service that you don't want running permanently [06:00] how do i change to the vesa video driver? [06:00] yeah i think i can use my laptop while i do that, do u mind if i pm u when i am ready to install it [06:00] steiner2: Well you still have the nvidia glx module installed. Double check and reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx if necessary [06:01] soreau: whats the best way to remove those packages? [06:01] jenna: it should be much larger than 24MB. what url did you download from? [06:01] steiner2: Check the output of 'dpkg -l|egrep "nvidia|fglrx"' [06:01] the big orange donwload button on the ubuntu homepage is where i got it from [06:02] ive tried Dlng it 2 times and get the same file both times [06:02] im trying the torrent now [06:02] soreau, hey im on the live cd now [06:02] how do i switch to the vesa driver for video?

When I load the device it says "error: unknown filesystem." the puts me at grub rescue> Is there a way I can tell it to boot to that partition from this menu? [06:07] So, I am getting my trackpad as PS/2 Generic Mouse [06:07] Its a synaptics touchpad for sure? [06:07] soreau: so what the best way to get rid of it? [06:07] No, I am not sure that it is a synaptics touch pad. [06:08] I have a sentelic pad, why i asked, synaptics drivers don't work. [06:08] Benwacki: Likely yes, but it depends on why you recieved that error. [06:08] I know the error is because the first partition is in WBFS, I have it that way to play backed up wii games. [06:08] Right, well, I am running an acer MS2298 [06:08] jessica_: did you try following the mouse settings to disable mouse clicks on that page? [06:08] Have you looked in your /var/log/dmesg to find out what its detecting as? [06:09] in terminal you might try cat var/log/dmesg | grep input [06:09] Benwacki: Did you try to install grub's boot sector to the partition rather than the mbr? [06:09] Ugh...I think I did. === Termana_ is now known as Termana [06:10] Yeah... I've got no dmesg file [06:10] My hard drive space on my root+home partition suddenly went from 10gb free to full without installing anything. Any idea how I can track down what caused my space to all vanish? [06:10] I meant "/var/log/dmesg" not "var/log/dmesg" [06:10] * Gnea throws his hands up into the air [06:10] My mistake :) [06:10] Benwacki: You should always install grub to the mbr. [06:10] Var from root dir, not from home dri. [06:10] oh... duh... no.. I should know better... [06:10] dir [06:10] jenna it must be ur conecction [06:11] jef91: you can narrow it down with du -sh /path [06:11] I didnt see any options for installing grub during the install of it [06:11] It wouldve happened while choosing where it installed to, eh? [06:11] Benwacki: The shell you're getting is from a previous grub install which is still in the mbr (and embedded area) since it wasn't replaced by the newer grub install. [06:11] soreau: i think i found how to in synaptic [06:11] brett__: the url I provided details a very simple method to fix the problem that she's having [06:11] Great. I hope it works. [06:11] Yeah... I get PS/2 Generic mouse as /devices/platform/i8042 etc... [06:12] steiner2: After you fix it, you can install mesa experimental and xorg-edgers to get the latest open drivers with better 3D support with gallium [06:12] jessica_: I'll just say it once, since you obviously didn't even bother reading it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Disabling Touchpad while Typing [06:12] Benwacki: If you didn't change any options related to grub then Ubuntu's installer would have installed to the mbr, so that's probably not the problem you're having. [06:12] My sentelic touchpad has flags in /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/flags [06:12] That can be used to alter its behavior. [06:13] Benwacki: Can you boot from a LiveCD? [06:13] Gnea... you are not listening... that is not the problem... I can disable the trackpad while typing all I want, but that is not going to fix the driver issue. [06:13] I'm guessing that since it sregistering for you as an i8042 device that it might be a sentelic touchpad too. [06:13] Jordan_U: Yes [06:13] Thanks, brett. === Know1edge is now known as Know1edge_ [06:14] Well, don't thank me. That's not good news! :) [06:14] your welcome though. [06:14] It's alright to thank me anyway. [06:14] Benwacki: Please do, then run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt. [06:14] Yeah... no drivers available for ubuntu? [06:14] Uhh, here's a bug report URL about sentelic touchpad specifically: [06:14] jessica_: I'm not? Funny, you mentioned that it's annoying that when you tap the touchpad, it acts like a mouse click. [06:14] Well, drivers available. [06:14] actaully drivers available in the kernel. [06:14] Here's the URL: [06:14] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/311869 [06:15] there's a lot of stuff in that one, and it's messy! [06:15] jessica_: and if you did try setting that and nothing happened, you didn't mention it. [06:15] My touch pad is like that in compaq presario 2100 I just avoid tapping or bumping it I maintain contact until its time to not make contact. [06:16] I turn mine off and use a mouse. [06:16] That's my solution Jessica_ -- But that bug report might help you find another one for you. [06:16] was like that under debian etch and ubuntu lucid. [06:17] Okay, brett, I am installing the package as we speak. [06:17] Well I dunno about that -- You might try this in your terminal without a package. [06:17] Because I never quite got the FSPC thing working right. [06:17] I just added echo -n kbxyac > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/flags [06:18] That turns it off. [06:18] I just added echo -n kbxyaC > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/flags [06:18] turns it on. [06:18] he guys, in ur opinion what is the best extension to package data? [06:18] rara, .tar.bz2; .tar.gz? [06:19] you can probably get by easier with a script set to a hot-key that uses those flags rather than the FSPC [06:19] package [06:19] when i tried working the FSPC package I was on 9.10 which was . . karmic koala I think? Didn't have kernel drivers then. [06:19] Okay... well, I will reboot and see what we've got. [06:19] Thanks. [06:19] Either way, check the entire bug out for all the info. [06:19] Hah [06:20] you get the best compression with tar.7z or tar. lzma [06:21] better than rar? [06:22] i will try it [06:22] not sure about rar compression although it will let you break up files. [06:23] Jordan_U: It's saying No such file or directory when I type bash ~/Downloads/boot_info_script*.sh [06:23] Benwacki: If it's an old Ubuntu CD it may be ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh. [06:23] i also cant unrar files with .part1, ... extension [06:24] Nah, its 10.10 [06:24] I tried it anyway, same thing [06:25] Benwacki: Can you check where the file downloaded to?

[07:11] Ashu: put 'Mono Dev' in the search box and get the one you need [07:12] soreau: yea, i undersatnd that [07:12] jenna_: That doesn't match any of your filesystems according to the boot info script output, so that must be an old grub install for a filesystem that no longer exists. [07:12] anyone in here into multiroom audio system on linux? [07:13] i'm trying the install again, I can past it into pastebin if it would help. [07:13] soreau: does apt-get upgrade chnage me to 10.10? [07:13] All, how to speed internet connection in ubuntu?? [07:13] steiner: no [07:13] Jordan_U, cool, so how do i get rid of it?

It finds the download and even asks me [y or n] but then it gives me the error....I have tried 3 different mirrors for the karmic repositories...all with the same results...anyone here have any luck downgrading gdm? [07:14] would pastebin help when IE7 Installer crashes right after extracting? [07:14] steiner: With the repo, you're actually installing latest code compatible with the latest components of 10.04 (which could mean missing and/or broken functionality) [07:14] Ashu, in termenal : git clone git@github.com:mono/monodevelop.git [07:14] i'm installing it as per instruction for getting Mabinogi to work on Winedb [07:15] Benwacki, so whats the symptoms of your boot problem, I missed the actual description, i have looked at the script. [07:15] soreau: ok [07:15] says it's required. [07:15] soreau: and thanks a ton for all your help [07:15] hi all.. I am getting the jitters.. on one of my servers, mails fired by a web application gets routed back to our multidrop mailbox... [07:15] and how do i make this grub thing use dvorak keyset? its reallt slow typing inot it when i have to try to find each key by trial and error [07:15] steiner: Is the repo installing now? [07:15] I have identified those mails are that which dont have an mx record or even a valid authoritative ns [07:16] jenna_: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [07:16] jenna_: It's likely that one of your two drives actually does have a working grub installation, so you could try just changing the boot order. Either way, following this guide and installing grub to both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb should get you booting again: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [07:16] nit-wit:When I load the device it says "error: unknown filesystem." the puts me at grub rescue> [07:16] wich ones , tuxhack? [07:16] ie if a mail is going for george@gmail.c .. this gets internally rewritten to george@ourdomain.com [07:17] soreau: yea, reboot afterward? [07:17] did anyone see my problem? (not to sound pushy or anything, I know you're volunteers and community members) [07:17] umm interesting [07:17] steiner: If it installs a kernel, yes. Otherwise, restarting X might be enough [07:18] @DarkAngel123, would this be the setting that all unqualified address to be attached with domain [07:18] Benwacki: Is it the wubi install or the normal install that's failing? [07:18] Benwacki, you have the sdb first to read in the bios correct? [07:18] Normal install thats failing [07:19] turneralex, are you there? [07:19] I'm using Wine 1.2.2 [07:20] nit-wit: I cant seem to get the right setting for USB in the bios, however I've just been going to boot options and choosing it each time [07:21] Benwacki, what is the dell utility in sdb1 [07:21] Benwacki: Do you see any other error messages, like "out of disk"? [07:21] Can I create a virtual cd rom from an iso file? what program should I install please? [07:22] !iso | Syria [07:22] Syria: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [07:22] nit-wit: To be honest I have no idea, I assume a second recovery partition. [07:22] Jordan_U: No, just the one [07:22] Jordan_U thnx. [07:22] Syria: You're welcome. [07:22] Benwacki, Dell has a dell data safe program that messes with the mbr does this sound familiar [07:23] @DarkAngel123 dump at setting up the sendmail.. I am gonna remove that and try exim4 [07:23] nit-wit: Nah, i've never heard of it. [07:23] hey jordan how you can do it [07:24] Benwacki, can you boot sda and get to W7 or the wubi, [07:24] nit-with: Yeah, everything else works fine [07:25] Benwacki, did the external ever boot correctly with this install [07:25] nit-wit: Nope, its been doing that since the install a few hours ago [07:26] Jordan_U what is the mount point? [07:26] does anyone know of a good channel to ask help about partitioning and deleting partitions in windows 7? [07:27] Jordan_U sudo mount -o loop [07:27] is there any Microsoft Exchange client for Linux ? [07:27] carson: win7 has a nice partition tool built in [07:27] Benwacki, boot into windows admin and go to the control panel add-remove and look for dell data safe. It is strange that a external HD would have a fat 16 dell utility partion=sdb1 [07:27] carson google can help you [07:28] Syria: A mount point is a directory through which you can access what you have mounted. For instance if you run "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/" then the contents of the iso will be available through the /mnt/ directory. [07:28] Hi, I am using Ubuntu Desktop 10.04LTS 64 bit and I cannot see this package in apt: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mit-scheme . I have universe repo enabled. Any ideas? [07:28] yes i know but when i deleted linux on my family computer using that tool, it deleted grub along with it and i just rebooted 7 on it because everything went wrong and now i have 2 windows 7's on it, and i need to delete new one, except im afraid if i delete it like google told me to with the linux partition, it will delete grub once again [07:29] *reinstalled, no rebooted [07:30] How can I specify, from the command line, what desktop an application should open on? [07:30] hello [07:30] tell me, if I uninstall grub2 will the original MBR be restored? [07:30] Benwacki, I miss read the script the dell utility is sda1. I think that having Ubuntu half way onto a teraabyte usb drive is probably not fgong to work [07:30] *going [07:31] cousin_mario: no [07:31] carson but if youfix the mrb of win ¡¡¡ [07:32] Benwacki, you could move the wubi to a partion on the sda if you wanted and dual boot easily. [07:32] mgolisch: uh oh [07:32] @DarkAngel123 three cheers for FOSS.. just got it right with the exim4 [07:32] Jordan_U, no luck. i did every step exactly like it said, and got no errors. but i still cant start up [07:32] hey, i'm trying to install IE7 on Wine 1.2.2 through Winetricks, and right after the extraction finishes (just as the installer actually starts) I get a "The program has encountered a serious error" message, I have a pastebin with the contents of Terminal at the time of the error, i've been trying this for a couple hours now. [07:33] bye guyz.. will drop in later [07:33] cody_: did you have a look at the appdb entry for that ie version? it might have some tips [07:33] does rsync take up more than one ps? [07:33] cody_: should IE7 work with wine? [07:33] cody yre crazy ie on wine gime one reason [07:33] jenna_: Did you run both "grub-install /dev/sda" and "grub-install /dev/sdb"? [07:33] nit-wit: I'm not looking to dual boot. The wubi install is seeming kind of buggy anyway. Instead I'll just brute force change the partitions around I guess. [07:33] yes === android is now known as Guest76340 [07:33] yeah, nothing about this problem. === Guest76340 is now known as jplib05 [07:34] cody_: why do you want that anyways? [07:34] hes crazy [07:34] that must be it [07:34] it's required for another windows game to work [07:34] Billgates425 i didnt know how to fix the mrb, the advice i could find off google was get a xp install disk/floppy and boot using it, then use the command fixmrb, so i got my xp disk and it wouldnt let me, the disk would say 'this is not an asus computer' and shut down, so then after trying to get it to work i couldnt figure it out, so i reinstalled windows 7 on it because i kne [07:34] w that doing that would fix grub, it worked and now i have 2 windows 7's on the computer, and i dont know how to delete the new unneeded one [07:34] Well, thanks for all the help guys. This place is always great. [07:34] Mabinogi [07:34] cody_: last time I checked you could use ies4linux [07:34] Benwacki, would just do a full install of Ubuntu on a 8 gig or larger thumb, it would run faster [07:35] cody_: but perhaps I'm not privy to the latest developments [07:35] we all know Firefox is better [07:35] huh? [07:35] IES4linux? [07:35] yes [07:35] jenna_: Benwacki: Both of you have very odd problems. [07:35] what's that? [07:35] cody_: although it hasn't been developed for a while, it seems [07:36] jenna_: Is the error you're getting the same? [07:36] nit-wit: Hmm, that would make it alot easier. As I could just keep that second partition in the same format and use it as extra space I guess. [07:36] cody_: google it [07:36] kk [07:36] Jordan_U: Sorry, lost my connection. I was telling you that i want to install lucid on a virtual machine from an iso file. [07:36] carson in win7 delete the one you want to delete partition using magic partition [07:37] and then rezize thr other partition [07:37] Benwacki, yeah just a suggestion.:) [07:37] looks like Winetricks might not be the best opion for some of it's content, huh? [07:37] Billgates425 does it come with magic partition? and would that delete grub also, like how deleting linux deleted grub? [07:38] Benwacki, use the cutom install though so you have grub pointed correctly=mbr of thumb. Sounds like you may know this though. [07:38] Syria: Then that's something you configure in whatever virtual machine software you're using. === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [07:38] cody_: you should know that most of the windows-games are not working under linux [07:38] *custom [07:38] cody_: i mean with wine etc [07:39] yeah, but I looked this one up prior. [07:39] said it ran with some apps installed [07:40] nit-wit: Thanks, I'm a bit new to actually messing with grub outside of one experience dual booting a few years back [07:40] Jordan_U I am using virtual box, i will try installing a new virtual machine. [07:40] cody_: according to winedb it's IE8 you should be using [07:40] for Mabinogi? [07:41] says iexplorer7..... [07:41] hello all.. anyone tried hooking up a picoLCD-20x2 (http://www.mini-box.com/picoLCD-20x2-OEM) to 10.04? --> It seems I am missing the picolcd.so [07:41] cody_: in general [07:41] Billgates425 okay i downloaded partitionmagic 8.0, wich is what cameup on google, and when i clicked run setup it said there is known compatibility issues with it on windows 7, is it safe to partition with a un compatible program? couldnt that screw the computer up alot? [07:42] hi, i have a problem with my mouse (mad catz cyborg r.a.t. 7), does anyone know this mouse and has a fix for the malfunction? [07:42] ah, kk, i've also tried that with the same results. [07:43] exit [07:43] yes its safe [07:44] carson [07:45] Billgates425 okay, then il do it [07:45] carson, why dont you try gparted? [07:46] royale1223 never herd of it, is that another thing like partitionmagic? [07:46] carson, yep [07:46] carson, actually parted magic uses gparted [07:47] jenna_: Is the error you're getting the same after having run grub-install? [07:47] hey, i'm an ubuntu newbie. im looking for a good resource to get an intuitive understanding of ubuntu/terminal. any recommendations? [07:47] Jordan_U, yes, its dentical [07:47] has anyone had success with an hp mini 110 and the un2400 wwan card? [07:48] royale1223 okay well im just gonna try partitionmagic thingy, but i have one question. when i deleted linux's partition using windows 7 built in partition thing, it deleted grub along with it, why is that? [07:48] jitit: www.linuxcommand.org is a great place to start...and there's youtube [07:49] ah yes- thats the one ive been using. thanks [07:49] carson, because grub is installed in linux's partition [07:49] jenna_: Try asking in #grub. Also I may be of more help tomorrow when I'm not so tired. [07:49] jitit: I hated the first time I needed to use a terminal, now i use it all the time. gui is just for show [07:50] jenna_: what's your question? [07:50] it is? now that i dont have linux on the computer, just two windows 7's, is grub in one of the windows 's or does it have its own partition or where is it now? [07:50] im confused as to why the command "aptitude" is not found [07:50] Jordan_U, ok. thanks anyways [07:50] apt-get jitit [07:50] how to contact staff? i have forgotten my password. [07:50] jitit: because it's not installed by default any more [07:50] aptitude is outdated ? [07:50] ah i see [07:50] carson: I believe it caches itself to the harddrive [07:50] muneeb: nickserv password? #freenode [07:50] yes @rww [07:51] yeah i switched to a linux-based os because i was tired of dealing with GUIs [07:51] Us3r_Unfriendly so if i deleted one of my windows 7's would grub be deleted again? [07:51] tired of dealing with windows [07:51] but can't get my 3g card working so i may have to dual boot [07:52] jitit, that is why I never gave up linux. Windows had no cli alternative for the gui [07:52] jitit, (not joking) [07:52] can anyone tell me of a channel where they discuss movies? [07:52] i've forgotten my nickserv password, how do i get it back? [07:52] muneeb, no idea. Type /join #freenode and ask them [07:53] muneeb: I already said, ask in #freenode. [07:53] windows uses the "mbr" not grub...I guess you'd have to redo the windows mbr to replace grub...and I have 0 experience on that 'cuz I could never uninstall my Linux distro over windows [07:53] ok [07:53] just insert your windblows repair disc and repair the mbr [07:53] good call ItsMeCD [07:53] carson if yo deleted linux and one win7 now the grub will not work you will get an error now you must to do this http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html [07:53] carson, let me get this straigt. You initially had win 7 + linux. You wnted to remove linux, so you deleted your linux partition. Now your computer is not booting up. Right? [07:54] Crash1hd #mp-tvseries i think, not sure though [07:54] Hey I installed the wizardpen driver to use my Genius MousePad. It seems to work with gnome but not kde. Any ideas why? [07:54] carson, thanks :) [07:54] carson: can I ask you why you didn't just uninstall windows? [07:55] royale1223 yes, so then i reinstalled windows 7 because i knew it would fix the grub, but now it dualboots 2 windows 7's, and i am back to square one, deleting the extra operating system, but now im scared deleting the 2nd windows 7 will delete grub like it did to linux [07:55] Billgates425 il check it out, thanks :) [07:55] are there any screensavers I can use that are separate for each of my screens? sometimes I go for a while without using a screen and I'd like for a screensaver to come on on just that screen when I don't move the mouse there. [07:56] Crash1hd no problem [07:56] carson: well hope you give linux another chance some time... [07:56] carson, can you boot to 2nd win7? [07:56] Us3r_Unfriendly because windows is stupid and i dont know how, deleting the partitions just seemed so much easier! [07:56] anybody know the sprint phone chat room [07:57] carson: but you deleted the linux partition though? Guess I'm a bit confused at this point === Shaded is now known as CaIianGirl [07:57] carson hey jojojo [07:57] Us3r_Unfriendly oh i love linux WAY more then windows, im on linux on my laptop right now. but i installed 32 bit ubuntu on our family computer by mistake when its a 64 bit system, so the drivers and stuff wernt working, thats why im getting rid of it === CaIianGirl is now known as Shaded [07:58] royale1223 yes i can, but when i do its an installation thing and it wants the registration key wich i lost so that windows 7 is no good to me :P [07:58] carson: and everyone else: but to me the 32 bit seems like it works pretty smoothly compared to using a 64 bit and for example with 64 flash [07:59] jojojo windows 7 for all ¡¡ [07:59] lahwran: I don't think that's a standard configuration, but anything is possible if you're willing to put enough work into it. [07:59] is there a keyboard layout editor utility for Linux? [07:59] jojojo [07:59] carson, there are ways to fix that too [07:59] i could be extremely wrong but that's what it feels like [07:59] carson, illegal ways [07:59] Jordan_U: darn. [07:59] not worth it [08:00] hi [08:00] hi TariQMowafy, have a question? [08:00] royale1223 im watching u [08:00] feanor2, system -> preferences -> keyboard [08:00] on startup i get a black screen with (operating system not found )on it [08:00] Billgates425, fair enough [08:01] Us3r_Unfriendly yah, personaly i dont really see the difference, and for all the hassle of now i cant have windows xp or vista on the new 64 bit computer, so i cant dualboot it, and the audio editing software i love isnt windows 7 compatible [08:01] Us3r_Unfriendly, i need to format the hard disk [08:01] TariQMowafy: what exactly happened? [08:01] Us3r_Unfriendly, no clue its a friends laptop [08:01] I don't konwn] [08:01] whenever I try to install any package in ubuntu 11.04 natty ..i get an programming error in aptdaemon [08:01] royale1223 yes yes i know, but i dont want the 2nd windows 7, i just have it because i knew installing it would fix the grub issue so i could atleast use the computer, and now i just have a dualboot screen that has 2 windows 7's, one that doesent really work and the other that has my files [08:02] TariQMowafy: stupid question, but was the laptop dropped? [08:02] i guess no [08:02] TariQMowafy: was it working previously before the black screen? [08:02] yea [08:02] whenever I try to install any package in ubuntu 11.04 natty ..i get an programming error in aptdaemon?bcoz of this i am unable to install my wireless package [08:03] TariQMowafy: starting with step one, what is your bios set to boot to? [08:03] Us3r_Unfriendly, i just need to format the hard disk and install ubuntu [08:03] carson, why didnt u select the drive which you installed 1st win7 while reinstalling? [08:03] aditya: maybe try #ubuntu+1 [08:03] my ubuntu could not open [08:03] cd [08:03] join #ubuntu+1 [08:04] royale1223 i did the first time, then it said "Compatibility Issue" and told me it wouldnt work, so i had to create a new windows... [08:04] TariQMowafy: sounds like the way to go...save alot of time trying to repair it. Just installing Ubuntu will be alot easier [08:04] i used the usb startup disk [08:04] but it hangs at preparing to install [08:04] TariQMowafy: nice [08:05] TariQMowafy: have you tried unetbootin? [08:05] ?? [08:05] !info unetbootin | TariQMowafy [08:05] TariQMowafy: unetbootin (source: unetbootin): installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive. In component universe, is optional. Version 471-1ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 274 kB, installed size 808 kB [08:05] cant u jus use the win7 cd to wipe the ubuntu partition then install ubuntu again [08:05] carson, y dont you just format the win7 partitions and reinstall ubuntu? [08:06] royale1223 okay, im just gonna ask one question and it will solve the issue... [08:06] TariQMowafy: I use unetbootin over the startup disk creator...just might be me...but it seems like some times the start up disk creator sometimes doesn't work [08:06] maybe i should try it [08:06] carson, okie [08:06] Us3r_Unfriendly, thanks anyways [08:06] TariQMowafy: sure? [08:06] is there a keyboard layout GUI *EDITOR* utility for Linux? [08:07] Us3r_Unfriendly, yea [08:07] Everyone, where does grub save if u dont have a linux on ur computer? i want to delete my windows 7 partition, would grub be deleted if i delete the windows 7 partition? [08:07] carson: the cache of the hard drive [08:08] how to delete windows 7?please [08:08] Us3r_Unfriendly i feel really stupid for saying this, but what is the cashe? what does it mean [08:08] carson, if u have a separate boot partition grub installs there [08:08] feanor2, I told you already [08:08] feanor2, system -> preferences -> keyboard [08:09] royale1223 then why did it get deleted instead of switch to my windows 7 partition when i first deleted linux? [08:09] smw, do you see any editor there? I do not [08:10] carson: I might be wrong about the cache part [08:10] but that's my first guess [08:10] because ubuntu have modified mbr for enabling boot [08:10] What is cache? [08:10] The cache (pronounced "cash") is a space in your computer's hard drive and in RAM memory where your browser saves copies of previously visited Web pages. Your browser uses the cache like a short-term memory. Instead of downloading an image from a recently viewed website, it will load the image from your cache folder, thereby making the browsing process a little quicker. [08:10] it isnt as simple as deleying ubuntu partiton [08:11] feanor2, nm, you can only choose between premade ones [08:11] that's why I think I might be wrong [08:12] i need to change it, either temporary or create a new one, but I cannot do it with xmodmap because it [08:12] s primitive crap [08:12] royale1223 okay, if i were to delete the new windows 7, would i just delete its partition or is there other stuff id need to do to safely get rid of it? [08:12] . [08:12] . === TMKCodes__ is now known as TMKCodes [08:12] hai [08:12] Us3r_Unfriendly and okay, well atleast i know what cashe is now :P [08:13] carson, what os do you need in your computer? [08:13] the original windows 7 [08:13] not the new one [08:13] because right now its dualbooted with both [08:13] they say it installs to the mbr of the drive [08:13] okie [08:14] carson, u dont have to delete the partition, just format it [08:15] whenever I try to install any package in ubuntu 11.04 natty ..i get an programming error in aptdaemon whenever ? [08:15] hi, i cannot access folders through menu Places, when clicked it says, Could not create the archive [08:15] Archive type not supported. pls. help me [08:15] which channel to go for cananyine repeat [08:15] Hi, I have installed ftp server vsftpd and started it but i don't know how to create an account!

[08:16] Now I too learned something new...I just thought grub was inside the cache the whole time...

Have a question. Two PCs with default ubuntu audio systems. Work PC have "ALSA plugin [Chromium Browser]" in mixer and I can manipulate on sound volume by multimedia keys on my keyboard. At home sound is not adjustable in browser because of "none applications playing" in mixer [08:18] carson, this might help you http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 [08:18] Question - where i can get this ALSA plugin? ) [08:19] hi all [08:19] how can I make the window control go back to the right side of the window?

[08:19] carson, its called easy bcd and it can modify win7 bootloader [08:19] help appreciated :) [08:19] TheThing: i don't offer a solution but more of a starting point, sudo apt-cache search alsa [08:19] I want to keep the Ambiance theme, that is.

[08:27] Us3r_Unfriendly: it's cool...you should give the new unity a try [08:28] rigved: i'm thinking of going wayland instead of X...but I think that'll be a project for later [08:28] its ideal for a lappy/netbook but not for me... u wana try it? I can setup a remote session in a minute :) [08:28] hi andycc, i didn´t insta unrar package, how to? [08:29] chandrageetha: you should already have the unrar package i believe by default...

[08:32] how to use it? [08:32] i cannot open folders through menu Places [08:32] unrar shouldn't be needed for that [08:32] then it shows error cannot archive it, archive type not found [08:33] sorry, archive type not supported, this is the error message [08:33] chandrageetha: so if you try to open, lets say the Music folder under "Places", it gives you that error message? [08:33] Us3r_Unfriendly, i used the unetbootin , created the disk [08:33] exactly [08:33] Us3r_Unfriendly, but the same thing happened [08:33] tariq__: how'd it turn out?

[08:49] Ormie, take some time and explore synaptic. it is well worth knowing how it does what it does :) [08:50] Ormie: more like how do you compile [08:50] Us3r_Unfriendly: i know :) [08:50] so, the result i got after it is, pastebin http://pastebin.com/VGDUrn9L [08:50] Ormie, do you need to do install by tarball? if you don't have a grasp of .deb, tarballs are harder IMHO [08:50] Ormie: stay away from .tar when givin a choice of using .deb [08:50] chandrageetha: so after typing this command, you are still not able to open Music folder? [08:50] Ormie: unless your great at compiling [08:51] ha [08:51] yes, what you said is correct [08:51] god, i am dying. a friend asked me to reinstall his old hp laptop. so i installed xp sp3, and found out their official drivers don't support the ethernet controller. I worked a lot, at last i tried to updated bios, of course they also list in the official driver. so the nightmare began. I wasted a lot of time , made the bootable cd to recover bios, even asked irc help, Herr_Kriss, a good fellow ,help me made the dos image file. but now, the screen d [08:51] Ormie: but .tar is also used as a compressed file too [08:51] Us3r_Unfriendly, same thing happens when opening gparted from terminal , and still hangs in the pereparing to install phase [08:51] NeoKipling[CN]: your in the wrong place i think [08:52] dying people belong in a hospital, not #ubuntu :) [08:52] tariq__: what happens if you use a live cd instead of the flashdrive? [08:52] Us3r_Unfriendly: don't worry, i always use ubuntu [08:52] Hello All, wondering if someone could help me. I am trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop and have created a USB bootable, however just discovered my bios does not support USB booting.

[08:53] neokipling[cn], wat the problem === drew is now known as Guest69799 [08:53] tariq__: could be your flash device. could be the iso is corrupted.

[08:53] i'll try another flash disk and a live cd [08:53] thanks Us3r_Unfriendly [08:53] adds, you have a few options... [08:54] mymrhelpdesk, you want to restore gnome-panel to defaults. [08:54] a ppa would be easier to explain than compiling with make - make install [08:54] tariq__: i hope it works for you [08:54] adds, 1. enter bios and 100% confirm the boot order is there for cd and usb. also confirm the BIOS sees the CDrom [08:54] To the girl at the checkout who noted that i was buying lotin, rosemary bubble bath salts, champagne, mochi balls and 20 dollar cheese cake.

[08:56] adds, yet another way is if you can boot over ethernet. [08:56] Yes rigved, may i try on that [08:56] chandrageetha: if that doesn't work then type this - sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [08:56] Us3r_Unfriendly: I don't know but i just click download and it just let me download a .tar.bz2 file [08:56] Us3r_Unfriendly: i use laptop too [08:56] chandrageetha: then try the other command also which i gave you earlier. [08:57] Doinkle, it allows boot over LAN [08:57] NeoKipling[CN]: you want to flash the bios for a laptop...that's a bit trickier than a desktop...alot harder [08:57] chandrageetha: actually sudo is not required for the rm command [08:57] Ormie: I'll take a look [08:57] hold on [08:57] adds, if you have another computer available up and running you can install over ethernet [08:57] What does ppa means?

[09:46] mhlwjk, what kind of a connection do you have? === Guest70826 is now known as richardr [09:46] mount: can't find /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [09:46] wifi. proprietary driver Broadcom corp device 14e4:4727 ref 01. [09:46] yea so /status i can mount /proc via /etc/fstab but /proc is still being mounted so what gives?/ [09:47] SashaNeko: Open system -> admin -> disk utility [09:47] rs0832: run OK but after updates it doeasn't work or works veryyy slowly. [09:47] okay [09:47] kdas_: if it isn't alot of stuff will break [09:47] mhlwjk, well, if you remember installing/uninstalling software just before your connection went you can install them then [09:47] SashaNeko: Do you see your hard drive on the left hand panel? [09:48] yep [09:48] So no one knows how to mount /proc /sys /dev under different names? [09:48] click it [09:48] kdas_ not without breaking alot of stuff [09:48] rallias: umm i can syslink /mydir to /proc [09:48] mhlwjk, also make sure it is a not a problem with your connection first [09:48] kdas_ yes [09:48] kdas_, i think i can help you [09:48] i have a sinking suspision i corrupted the partition [09:48] rallias: com'on "its impossible" "things will break" stop with the bs [09:48] kdas_, but what are you trying to do ? [09:49] Us3r_Unfriendly: please have a look here http://pastebin.com/SFSPGxw2 [09:49] kdas_: Symlinks are no harm. Renaming the devices... thats a different cow alltogether. [09:49] rs0832: cool. I am trying to mount /proc to /status which i have via /etc/fstab but /proc is still being mounted so whats up with that [09:49] rs0832: connection OK. I've installed ubuntu month ago, and everything went automatically. so not really sure. should i uninstall the driver first? [09:49] the truth is there are only a few things on my drive and not a lot that isn't replacable [09:49] my music is on ubuntu one [09:49] fa_effekt, he is not online :) [09:49] hi @ all. My Panflute-applet is not working with MPD. It always displays "no playback" ...but mpd is working and pidgin is also able to change its status with songs played with mpd! any idea? === vimes656 is now known as jdnavarro [09:49] SashaNeko: Click the drive, then click the different partitions [09:49] rs0832: i also would like to know how to mount /sys and /dev under different directories [09:49] so unless you have a bright idea that would fix this I am going to bite the bullet and reinstall [09:49] I'm trying to help you recover what you can [09:49] okay [09:49] kdas_, hmm hold on [09:50] http://pastebin.com/9DJ9w1Kq [09:50] SashaNeko: I have a sneaky suspicion that your hard drive was improperly named. [09:50] rso832: could you have a look at this? http://pastebin.com/SFSPGxw2 [09:50] mhlwjk, if you have the driver, then yes [09:50] still can't get filder permissions to change [09:50] *folder [09:51] rs0832: on arch things are a lil easier because we don't use sysV/upstart [09:51] rs0832: after removing the driver from proprietary drivers can i load it from the pendrive? [09:51] okay so rallias how should I fix it? [09:52] Sasha: When you click the partition that is supposed to be /dev/sda5, what does it say under device? [09:52] hi everyone, after the installation of another distribution when I reboot on ubuntu my wifi card results soft blocked (from rfkill list) so everytime I turn on ubuntu even when i reboot from ubuntu i have to do rfkill unblock all. How can I have the wifi soft unblocked by default ? [09:52] when i starts my computer the login sound of ubuntu is not coming,how to get back the sound? [09:52] mhlwjk, sorry load what from the pen drive? the drivers? or ubuntu? [09:52] /dev/sda5 [09:52] vix: anacrontab with a delay of 0 [09:52] rs0832: drivers [09:53] when i starts my computer the login sound of ubuntu is not coming,how to get back the sound? [09:53] rallias, sorry what do you mean, i'm quei newbie [09:53] SashaNeko: sudo give_me_a_sec [09:53] mhlwjk, yes i think so.. have you installed them before? [09:53] vix: google anacrontab. [09:53] rallias: thats funny [09:54] kdas_, you can have a look here.. if you have questions, feel free to ask - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [09:54] SashaNeko: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid [09:54] fa_effekt, hold on ill check your link :) [09:55] thats odd, my Sound volume control panel disappeared [09:55] amit: rs0832: no there's a newer driver available and i think this is the problem. i thoought that if i reinstall the driver it should run smoothly. Don't know if I 'm correct about it. [09:55] rs0832: I am trying to change where /proc /sys and /dev is mounted. I know how to mount shit [09:55] 25f1ccf8-ffc8-44a5-a2f8-b8101e3edb39 7b1302db-c7fe-4ec2-915d-6dd524847667 [09:55] kdas_, look under the --bind part... however, unless you know what youre doing, i dont advise doing it [09:55] amit: sorry this was not for you [09:55] SashaNeko: sudo mount [09:56] insert the second one [09:56] okay [09:56] rallias, so i have to change the delay interval in /etc/anacrontab to 0 ? [09:56] mount: can't find 7b1302db-c7fe-4ec2-915d-6dd524847667 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [09:56] rs0832: i know what --bind does i want to mount them completely different like i want to be able to do a rmdir /proc and have proc mounted somewhere else [09:57] mhlwjk, hmm unless you uninstalled the driver or some of it;s dependancies, i dont think that it could be the issue or that reinstalling it would fix the problem... did you change any configs? [09:57] SashaNeko: Go into gparted [09:57] kay [09:57] right click /dev/sda5 click check [09:57] hey, is it possible to add the bot an article about a solution to a problem? [09:57] what sound control panel do you recommend? [09:58] okay rallias i have an error [09:58] fa_effekt, did you send me the link about gksudo nautilus? [09:58] SashaNeko: What type? Libparted or what? [09:58] yes [09:58] rs0832: nope. how can i check if all the correct packages are installed or dependencies? [09:58] hmm i think i have had a stupid moment [09:58] kdas_, so you want /proc to be in a completely different location? [09:58] does non destructive partitioning not work with ext4 [09:58] no matter what happens it won't let me change ownership of the folder nor chmod [09:58] hi ChanServ, could you pls help me, i hve some probs with my Archive Manager, it says, Couldnot create archive, archive type not supported, while opening a folder through menu Places [09:58] SashaNeko: Resize it. [09:59] SashaNeko: Yes it does. [09:59] fa_effekt, as for the error, i get it too, i think it is normal [09:59] so resize it down [09:59] SashaNeko: But it checks, so if it gives error... your screwed. [09:59] I'd try it. [09:59] mhlwjk, where did you install the driver from? [09:59] i am unsure what size i had it at before so maybe size it substanially down? [09:59] put space afterwards 1mb space before 1mb [10:00] rs0832: it installed itself automatically from proprietary drivers. [10:00] fa_effekt, but what exactly are you trying to do? sorry i missed the whole conversation [10:00] mhlwjk, so from the repos? [10:00] Need help Guys with setting up a Zentyal Firewall [10:00] darn rallias it is giving me an error [10:00] SashaNeko: Pastebin it. [10:01] what size did you want it to be? [10:01] because currently i have 1mb before and one after [10:01] already [10:01] 1mb free before 1mb free after. [10:01] yeah thats how it already i [10:01] kdas_, if you are trying to change the mountpoint of /proc, i m with whoever told you that it could damage your system earlier :) [10:01] KoketsoMabuse, this isnt the channel for that topic [10:01] *is [10:01] rs0832: after installing ubuntu i plugged cable in, because wifi was not working and a window appeared asking to install proprietary driver. didn't do it myself. [10:01] Try growing it into that size [10:01] I have setup the entire system and can access services with Firewall off but as soon as I tuyrn it on nothing works LDAP the works tried all things and got nowhere [10:01] kdas_, that is usually better done during install... if you are trying to do something else and i have misunderstood, please correct me [10:02] trying to change permissions on a folder with contents [10:02] should i try turning off "round to cylinders" [10:02] Doinkie?? what is the right channels [10:02] sudo chmod 755 won't work [10:02] sudo chmod -R 755 does not work either [10:02] Last time I installed ubuntu there was a "-pea" (or "-pae") at the end of kernel version in boot screen.Now that I reinstalled ubuntu from the same disk instead of "pea" there is a "-generic" at the end of kernel version. What's meaning of them?why that's different between two installations? [10:02] KoketsoMabuse, visit their website forums [10:02] SashaNeko: You should always uncheck that when partitioning with gparted. [10:02] Tried not getting anythere [10:02] fa_effekt, k.. [10:02] nirazio, thats PAE...if you have over 4Gb RAM with 32 bit linux [10:02] Any specific [10:03] grr i can't pastebin [10:03] because it won't let me select teh text [10:03] pm it to me [10:03] !pae | nirazio [10:03] nirazio: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [10:03] type it out. [10:03] its suggesting that the partition table is correct or something about superblock [10:03] mhlwjk, hmm do you have a .deb of the drivers? if you do then copy it to ~/Documents, cd to ~/Documents in a terminal and do sudo dpkg-reconfigure [10:04] SashaNeko: If you want to recover your data, go get an external hard drive of the same size or larger of your largest partition. If not click devices new partition table. [10:04] fa_effekt, where is the folder located? [10:04] The filesystem isze according to the superblock is 122095360 blocks. The physical size of the device is 119165148 blocks. EIther the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! Abort? Yes [10:04] Doinkle: What is generic then??? [10:05] SashaNeko: You click no. [10:05] nirazio, a generic kernel. [10:05] it doesn't give me an option [10:05] SashaNeko: Try sudo fdisk /dev/sda [10:05] Doinkle: What is the difference between both?? [10:06] /home/nameofuser/nameoffolder [10:06] nirazio: if you don't use PAE, you don't get to use more then ~3.2 gb ram [10:06] okay and the command? [10:06] w [10:06] it's asking for a command [10:06] Hi, I have successfully installed wlan driver but am having to make each time I boot [10:06] fa_effekt, have you tried with the gui? rightclick>properties>permissions? [10:06] nirazio, generic kernels come with a distro, custom kernels are built by the people who own the computer. [10:06] type w [10:07] mazeX86 [10:07] rs0832: where can i get theses .deb? i downloaded some .zip file with drivers. [10:07] rallias: http://pastebin.ca/2034069 [10:07] wait... go to gparted, turn swap off [10:08] mhlwjk, ok, what does the zip file contain? [10:08] okay [10:08] Sasha [10:08] done [10:08] woops... Then go fdisk again [10:08] okay [10:08] w [10:08] rs0832: tried that from the beginning, maybe was the reason for the problem [10:08] rs0832: folders: lib, source, and file 'make file" [10:09] okay rallias http://pastebin.ca/2034071 [10:09] fa_effekt, are you logged in as the user who owns those files? [10:09] SashaNeko: sudo gparted [10:09] okay [10:09] mhlwjk, hmm can you give me the link to where you downloaded them from? that is the source code and has to be compiled [10:09] now try resizing with round cylanders turned off [10:09] yes [10:10] sudo doesn't do anything [10:10] hi @ all. My Panflute-applet is not working with MPD. It always displays "no playback" ...but mpd is working and pidgin is also able to change its status with songs played with mpd! any idea?

[10:11] rs0832: same result [10:11] s an update it has to be done 3 times, can I download the updates to a central location on my NAS and update the 3 from there/ [10:11] SashaNeko: No in the error window it should say something like mkfs.ext4 ... what is that command? [10:11] gksudo ? [10:11] nirazio, i dont know your pc and how you installed ubuntu. no idea. [10:11] twitch: gksudo on livecd is broken. [10:12] nirazio, pae kernels give you the feature of 64 bit systems (the ability to use >3.2gb of RAM) [10:12] hi [10:12] ahh ok [10:12] nirazio, the generic kernel, if 32 bit, doesnt [10:12] e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda5 [10:12] fa_effekt, hmm what was the output when you ran the command? [10:12] SashaNeko: Tack on sudo, run it in a new terminal tab [10:12] Operation not Permitted [10:13] fa_effekt, and with the sudo? [10:13] Operation not Permitted [10:13] sorry you doing this off a live cd?

[10:14] hmm i didnt [10:14] it did that auto [10:14] oh remove the -y flag [10:14] one sec [10:14] Is there a way to download the Ubuntu updates to a NAS so that multiple PC's can update from there instead of downloading the update every time? [10:14] Oooh.... [10:14] okay [10:15] Hi @ All: I have to make and install wlan driver after each boot? [10:15] Error reading block 119537664 (Invalid argument) while reading inode and block bitmaps.

[10:18] anon-devr, I don't see why you want to do that, why not have it installed so that it will load the wireless driver everytime? [10:18] denile: yes [10:18] nirazio: i think you need to remove the generic kernel after installing the PAE kernel, otherwise the generic kernel will also get updated (and i your case has been set as the default) [10:18] mhlwjk, k what about bcmwl-modaliases, bcmwl-kernel-source and broadcom-sta-common? [10:18] alright its done [10:18] now what? [10:18] @psycho_oreos, I don't want it that way, but for some reason the device fails to work [10:18] Mount it. [10:19] mount: can't find /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [10:19] anon-devr, what sort of wireless chipset is it? like which brand and model number? [10:19] SashaNeko: Did you use sudo? [10:20] yep [10:20] SashaNeko: Try gparted again. [10:20] psycho_oreos, RealTek chipset, 8712u, LM Technology brand [10:20] fa_effekt, hmm have you recently changed any configs? [10:20] same errors as before [10:21] hmm did I completly destroy things? [10:21] SashaNeko: Are you on this computer's irc or are you using a diff computer for irc? [10:21] how can i disply site visitor's location on our site [10:21] SashaNeko, did you try the gui for mounting? [10:21] no[e this computer [10:21] anon-devr, hmm I suppose you're wanting to try the developmental/staging driver? [10:21] rs0832: initiall the privelages were changed under nautilus [10:21] rs0832: [10:21] yes [10:21] *initially [10:21] tried to change it back so that all users had rights to the file [10:21] SashaNeko: Log into a different computer for irc and reboot your livecd [10:21] but then the problem occurred [10:22] SashaNeko, try sudo blkid in a terminal and paste the output on a pastebin [10:22] hello all [10:22] tried using the terminal to change it back but got the 'Operation not Permitted error' [10:22] aju: this channel is only for ubuntu related questions. not for web designing or related topics [10:22] http://pastebin.ca/2034084 [10:22] fa_effekt, hmm what about from gksudo nautilus? [10:22] rs0832: tried using the terminal to change it back but got the 'Operation not Permitted error' [10:22] same thing [10:22] my other computer is not really available at the moment [10:23] rs0832: same thing [10:23] exit [10:23] Sashaneko: sudo mount 7b1302db-c7fe-4ec2-915d-6dd524847667 [10:23] SashaNeko, just a thought, try mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [10:23] psycho_oreos, it seems to be the only working driver [10:23] i would like to know where are stored the datas from gnome-schedule , it has a config file somewhere in /etc or something else ? [10:24] that would be embarrasing if that was the problem rs0832 [10:24] rallias, sorry? [10:24] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [10:24] rs0832: I said if that was the issue that would be embarrasing. [10:24] rs0832: i don't have broadcom-sta-common, when i click to install it asks to installl some other files [10:25] rallias, yes.. understood now :) [10:25] anon-devr, well yes I suppose so as for now. I'm assuming the driver is already installed as it would probably come via linux-wireless testing git? [10:25] mhlwjk, hmm ok, [10:25] anyone know how to run .jar files? [10:25] SashaNeku: hello? [10:25] im here [10:25] mhlwjk, how many boot entries do you have? [10:25] what is the result of sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [10:25] i posted it [10:26] Good Morning Ubuntu World! When i type ./ and then tab, bash also suggests files that are not executable. Only in directories mounted via sshf. Any ideas, why? [10:26] http://pastebin.ca/2034086 [10:26] SashaNeko: I guess you'll have to be like my dad, playing in the livecd until you get an external drive. [10:27] rallias: the truth is there really isn't a lot on the laptop i may just bite the bullet [10:27] and reinstall [10:27] fa_effekt, can you chroot? [10:27] @all what irc client is used by most here? [10:27] psycho_oreos, well I had to download and compile the driver to get it to work with the kernel in ubuntu 10 [10:27] rs0832: what are boot entries? it says that it will affect other packages like: g++, broadcom-sta-source, build-essential, etc.... [10:27] this is what i get for not using my ubuntu one account that I am paying for [10:27] want to get a notification whenever a new message is posted [10:27] SashaNeko, you cant boot or something? [10:27] I have installed add-ons in OpenOffice.org: sun-weblog-publisher.oxt. My OS is Ubuntu 10.10 64-bits. that doesn't work :( . can someone help me? [10:27] fa_effekt: i use x-chat on my pc. andirc on my phone. [10:27] SashaNeko: Go into gparted [10:27] okay [10:27] SashaNeko: Devices -> New partition table [10:28] anon-devr, yeah I thought so, but if you have done that before, there's no need to repeat that process every time you reboot the computer into ubuntu for instance. You just need to tell ubuntu to load the driver [10:28] on x-chat is there a way to get a tone when a message pops up? [10:28] mhlwjk, no i mean the grub menu at boot time [10:28] fa_effekt: yeah. [10:28] complete: sshf or encryptfs ? [10:28] rs0832: example pls [10:28] SashaNeko: But before doing this its a point of no return [10:28] rallias: WARNING this will erase all data [10:28] geeknik: how? [10:28] i may just go through the normal install [10:28] can any body help me with this game urban terror i run and i just hold i even try kill it like with SIGCONT nothing happen this is the output from terminal http://pastebin.ca/2034087 [10:28] SashaNeko: You can't [10:28] and why? [10:28] rs0832: how do i check this? the computer turned itself off yesterday for some reason as well. [10:29] that problem will persist until you make a new partition table. [10:29] fa_effekt: settings -> preferences -> chatting -> alerts [10:29] you can make it beep on channel message, private message or highlighted message. [10:29] okay [10:29] fa_effekt, chown -R user:group file/dir [10:29] here we go [10:29] close your eyes [10:29] fa_effekt: there is also a Sound area under Chatting that lets you define a sound for just about anything. =) [10:29] SashaNeko: Make sure you select ms-dos [10:29] done [10:30] hmm maybe this would be a great time to switch to a LVM [10:30] SashaNeko: Do you have a cd burner? [10:30] mhlwjk, it did? [10:30] yes [10:30] one [10:30] but blank cd's not so much [10:30] SashaNeko: You need the alternate installer for that one. [10:30] I have an ubuntu live cd though [10:30] SashaNeko That just won't do [10:31] rs0832: yeah and frozed. [10:31] mhlwjk, what was it doing at the time? [10:31] SashaNeko: Your only option is encrypted home directory. [10:31] meh I'll just go with the regular setup [10:32] window size 7 [10:32] twitch: sshfs [10:32] rs0832: it was left, not working on it. and then i come back and i see the startup screen when all the boot entries are and it was just hanging there. [10:32] would you suggest the encrypted home directory? [10:32] SashaNeko: Now's where we part ways. I think if you need help rs0832 can help. Me on the other hand, I'm hitting hte sack. [10:32] hot do i make my ubuntu server save ssh passwords? [10:32] SashaNeko: It makes recovery a pain in the *** [10:32] yeah I bet [10:32] jlebrech: what do you with saving passwords? [10:32] well I don't need help installing [10:32] thanks for your help rallias [10:33] SashaNeko: If you get an error, my good friend rs0832 can help. I think [10:33] night [10:33] rs0832: chown -R username /home/username/Videos [10:33] same message [10:33] gobbe: github connection [10:33] Operation not Permitted [10:33] fa_effekt: with sudo ? [10:33] jlebrech: use ssh-keys [10:33] fa_effekt, you are trying to change ownership of the generated Videos folder? [10:33] fa_effekt: sudo [10:34] SashaNeko: encrypted home directory is good for storing sensitive stuff like passwords in seahorse [10:34] gobbe: i just install ssh-key from apt right? [10:34] fa_effekt, it could probably be the reason you cant [10:34] rs0832: same message [10:34] fa_effekt: sudo chown -R username:group /your dir/ [10:34] gscwepp: same message [10:34] fa_effekt, try creating a new folder and chmodding that [10:34] jlebrech: no [10:34] jlebrech: you create a key, copy that to server and then use it [10:35] jlebrech: http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication [10:35] i have the key and it's on the server but i have to put the password along with it everytime [10:35] mhlwjk, you said that the last time a message popped up asking you to install drivers? [10:35] fa_effekt: yeah usr chown username.username(usualy the same grp) /home/dir/Videos [10:35] no one can help me about the config file of gnome scheduler ? [10:35] jlebrech: key must be at .ssh-folder at server [10:36] what on github? [10:36] fa_effekt: eg # sudo chown -R twitch.twitch /home/tiwtch/Videos [10:36] jlebrech: http://help.github.com/linux-key-setup/ [10:36] cheers [10:37] rs0832: http://pastebin.com/MFFUXs2W [10:37] twitch: istnt it twitch:twitch ? [10:37] gscwepp: http://pastebin.com/MFFUXs2W [10:37] gschwepp: same thing [10:37] s/istnt/isnt [10:37] k [10:37] gschwepp, yes it is : [10:37] gschwepp: "." is old school i guess :P [10:37] . still works did it the other day changing a grp [10:38] gschwepp, twitch, according to the 10.10 manpage, its : but . may work too [10:38] twitch: i never saw [10:38] rs0832: the drivers were installed when i installed ubuntu. this was the last time. then since a week the internet is not working, and working on and off. the internet is there it's just this laptop has some problems. i can see that i do not have installed broadcom-sta-common, broadcom-sta-source but have bcmwl-kernel-source and bcmwl-modalities . [10:38] twitch: 'Operation not Permitted' [10:38] fa_effekt: sudo chown -R [yourusername]:[yourusrname] /home/[yourusername]/Videos [10:38] mhlwjk, hmm can you define 'not working'? [10:39] fa_effekt, did you try? [10:39] group is by default equal to your username [10:39] gscwepp: 'Operation not Permitted' [10:39] fa_effekt, create a new folder in ~ and try chmodding it [10:39] rs0832: working 5 minutes and then no websites are opening, in the same time doing the same on a different laptop and running fine [10:39] hang on [10:39] fa_effekt, lsattr -d dirname [10:39] fa_effekt: pastebin ls -l /home/[yourusername] [10:40] mhlwjk, hmm then i dont think reinstalling any drivers is going to work... seems like either a server problem, or a configuration problem... are you using the same connection on the laptop? and is it running win? [10:41] rs0832: made no changes, running on ubuntu [10:41] gschwepp, he is trying to chmod ~/Videos.. is this possible to do? i have never tried it so i am not sure [10:42] mhlwjk, hmm same version also? [10:42] yeah it is .. it's like su vs su- root [10:42] twitch, were you telling me? [10:42] rs0832: sure you chan chown and chmod everything as root [10:42] nah mt'in [10:42] soz [10:43] rs0832: nope. one has linux driver and the other that works on/ff has proprietary driver. [10:43] btw he wanna chmod or chown it? [10:43] denile: http://pastebin.com/dezzBjzc [10:43] gschwepp, yes but i mean, ~/Videos is like a user dependant file [10:43] gscwepp: http://pastebin.com/dezzBjzc [10:43] gschwepp, he wants to allow all users to use it [10:43] fa_effekt, lol [10:43] twitch: http://pastebin.com/dezzBjzc [10:43] its immutable [10:43] gschwepp, so chmod... [10:44] fa_effekt, sudo chattr -i dirname [10:44] what would one user to hide the contents of a file? [10:44] gschwepp, yes.. thats what i mean... i dont think you can chmod a folder that is *directly* associated with a users account, if you know what i mean [10:45] someone tries to look at the contents of a file but it appears empty [10:45] fa_effekt: you running off a live cd or full install? [10:45] fa_effekt, after you remove the i you shouldbe good to go' [10:45] twitch: full install [10:45] rs0832: is there any difference between braodcom-sta-sourse and bcmwl-kernel-source? [10:45] mhlwjk, then install the linux driver :) [10:45] mhlwjk, yes i think there is [10:46] ohh yeah it is +i nice pick up denile :( didnt even look at tthat was just looking at the tree :P\ [10:46] rs0832: how to check if there's any available? [10:46] fa_effekt, i m with denile on this [10:46] man chattr will give you an idea if ya want to read it fa_effekt [10:47] fa_effekt, once you chattr -i dirname you should be able to change perms [10:47] mhlwjk, hmm i think you can install bcmwl-kernel-source [10:47] fa_effekt: what is your ls -l output for Videos? [10:47] ok, it's changed but how does an admin change the contents of a folder to appear hidden and inaccessible? [10:48] mhlwjk, do you have access to the computer where the internet works? [10:48] drwxrwxrwx [10:48] rs0832: i tried ... it works i can chown folders that are directly in my folder [10:48] rs0832: yeah [10:48] psycho_oreas, that's what's strange. Unless I make (and maybe even sudo ./clean), sudo insmod fails [10:48] fa_effekt: and the username and group ? [10:48] fa_effekt, hidden from who [10:49] gschwepp: *correction drwxr-xr-x [10:50] fa_effekt: is your username after that? [10:50] fa_effekt: a number then your username twice ? [10:50] if a project is stored in the contents of a folder and the user want't it to be secure from others, what would they change to the folder to keep it hidden/inaccessible? [10:50] *wants [10:51] gschwepp, yes, but his files were +i :) [10:51] please help me [10:51] gscwepp: username and group [10:51] denile: username and group [10:52] the folder was +i to keep the contents from accidental modification [10:52] mhlwjk, ok then open synaptic, and in the quick search type '802'.. then in the search results, tell me if which of the above packages were installed (my post above) [10:52] not even admin can do anything to the folder [10:52] fa_effekt: give read and write rights to just your files [10:52] morning. my local starbucks has an "evil twin" wireless access point. can somebody help me setup a VPN so that I can be secure on this rogue access point? [10:52] !chown | fa_effekt [10:53] fa_effekt: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [10:53] cathrin-tux: did you google ? [10:53] !vpn [10:53] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [10:53] thanks [10:53] totem youtube plugin not working. how to fix? === root is now known as Guest27779 [10:54] hi, why the package name is called gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly? it's very weird. should I install them? thanks. [10:54] hmm but it doesnt tell me how i make my server into a vpn endpoint. it only tells me how to connect to an endpoint [10:54] sgoll: install good as well [10:54] sgoll: they are needed for .mp4 and windows videos [10:54] sgo11, because some are developed well or according to standards [10:55] sgo11, you should find more info at http://gstreamer.org/ [10:55] lol nice way to put it [10:55] cathrin-tux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNServer there is a search function! [10:55] fa_effekt, rs0832 thanks for the explanation. But I still don't understand why they name it bad, ugly? [10:56] right. i just googled "ubuntu vpn endpoint" and got no satisfactory results [10:56] sgoll: the good, the bad and the ugly - [10:56] sgo11, well, bad because the code is probably not efficient... it is written in a way that is considered bad [10:56] sgo11, and ugly, because the code is hard to understand [10:57] the good probably because it was easy and straightforward [10:57] gschwepp: thanks. [10:57] sgo11, source code is a very important part of open source software [10:57] the bad because it was proprietary code [10:57] maybe [10:57] rs0832, ok. so is that good to install bad and ugly?... [10:57] rs0832: wpsuapplicant, bcmwl-kernel-source, bcmwl-modaliteis are here only. [10:58] my wubi install is being dumb. namely, it won't let me boot in [10:58] sgo11, fa_effekt, here : http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/gstreamer/0.10.31.html [10:59] sgo11, fa_effekt, see the last few lines of the first section [10:59] fa_effekt, I don't care of whether they are proprietary code or not. as long as it's useful and can play all video/audio formats... :) [10:59] rs0832, saw it. thanks a lot. [10:59] mhlwjk, ok ,then just install the same ones in the system that is not working, and everything should work fine :) if not then we will try to find a solution [10:59] sgo11, :) [11:00] mhlwjk, dont worry about reinstalling.. you shouldnt need to [11:00] rs0832: but those are different computers with different modems etc... [11:01] mhlwjk, ?? [11:01] sgoll: the interface is bad but dragon can play any format, even better than vlc [11:01] mhlwjk, k, so your point is? [11:01] wow this sucks' [11:01] No WUBILDR [11:01] how do i fix that [11:01] mhlwjk, you told me that you tried the same modem/connection on 2 different computers and one worked right? [11:01] psycho_oreas, many thanks for your time; I must head off to the office now but I will investigate further for the next few days and report back, hopefully I should be able to idenfity what has gone wrong ... many thanks [11:02] totem youtube plugin not working. any ideas? ubuntu-mini 10.04 with xubuntu suite of packages. [11:02] mhlwjk, if thats right, it shouldnt matter [11:02] I know its not a new issue, but I cant find any documentation on fixing Ubuntu 10.10 installation issues [11:02] rs0832:sorry don't understand. same router connection, but 2 different computers with 2 different hardware in it... [11:03] fa_effekt, I never heard of dragon. actually, I used to using mplayer on opensuse. it's very fast and can play all formats. I tried vlc before. very slow and have some problems with interface. I will look at dragon later. thanks a lot for introducing it. [11:03] mhlwjk, ah ok.. but the same type of hardware? [11:03] mhlwjk, like same company/model? [11:03] i have a dual screen configuration, when i use virtualbox in fullscreen, and then click on the other screen, the panels appear over virtualbox. Is it possible to disable this behaviour? [11:03] rs0832: same company but modem is different [11:04] mhlwjk, but meant for the same connection right? [11:04] mhlwjk, and both wifi modems? [11:04] hp mini 110-3030nr is ok but hp mini 110-3130nr nope. [11:04] Anyone familiar with the Ubuntu 10.10 installation issues? [11:04] connection/using the same network [11:05] mhlwjk, ah :) [11:05] Psycho_Mario: there's a option to use "full screen" in Vbox.. that should remove the borders i do believe [11:05] mhlwjk, then that shouldnt be a problem :) [11:05] Stupid wubi [11:05] Oglop: there are many issues in installation, each has a different solution, set focus on the issue at hand. [11:05] Psycho_Mario: interesting i dont get that problem .. can u screen shot it? [11:05] aidrocsid, did you delete it by mistake or something? [11:05] @KM0201, thats the option im using [11:05] anyone know how to uninstall android sdk on ubuntu [11:05] I don't see how I could have. [11:05] @twitch, yeah sure, where shall i upload it to? [11:05] can someone run: dig A prq.se @68.237.161.12 and tell me if they get a valid response back. i think verizon is blacklisting hosts on the dns side of things now [11:06] aidrocsid, hold on [11:06] sacarksib, ok well said issue is...Trying to format my Acer Aspire One to ubuntu 10.10 but running into crashes at installation [11:06] last remotely invasive thing I did was move my WINE folder out of the virtual drive [11:06] hi people.

[11:14] Psycho_Mario: just want to make sure i understand... do the panels "switch" from the left monitor to the right monitor, when you go full screen? [11:14] Psycho_Mario: I need to do that anyway Dear friend :| [11:14] Hi guys, which would you recommend for running ubuntu along with android and rails programming [11:14] https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/627134 is the bug report [11:14] negative. shhould i? rs0832 [11:14] Scarlson: The program is UNetbootin used to format the USB to a bootable flash drive [11:14] Oglop: ok I widened my search and found that unetbootin and assumed, did you do a md5sum check of the iso file you used? what iso did you use in unetbootin? [11:14] Core i3 2.26GHz with 6GB RAM or Core i5 2.5GHz with 3GB Ram [11:15] which is better [11:15] is more ram better than powerful processor [11:15] rs0832: highlight me when you're free ;) [11:15] KM0201, the panels dont move, when vbox is focused, then it looks like a standard windows desktop, with ubuntu on my left screen, but when i click anything on the left screen, the panels appear above vbox on the right screen. vbox isnt doing fullscreen properly [11:15] Hey, I have an error using psad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548783/ Although I set IPTABLES_PREREQ_CHECK to 1; Can I add the chain manually?

(i use nvidia-settings.. don't know how to do it w/ ATI) [11:16] mhlwjk, on the computer with the propr. driver, open /var/cache/apt [11:16] nkh, there is no proper way to change kernel without a reboot. that i know of [11:16] Hello, I am on Maverick, and when I pause and resume something in VLC, there is no sound [11:17] KM0201; i have ATI ;) but yes, the right monitor is default (its the bigger and its DVI over VGA) [11:17] Oglop: you might try this on your iso to test valid http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/ [11:17] hmm [11:18] Psycho_Mario: Aw , Thanks , But i found a tool named Ksplice which updates kernel and its security patches without rebooting... and i also heard about it before .. Thank you anyway [11:18] rs0832: doing it.... [11:18] Scarlson: I have no clue how to use this [11:18] Psycho_Mario: i dunno.. it works fine for me(but i only run one panel)... http://imagebin.org/130211 [11:19] nkh, i read about that (a long time ago), when i looked it wasn't very good... i suppose youd just have to try ;) Backup first though! [11:19] mhlwjk, k.. there should be a folder called archives there.. open that and see if you can locate a file with the name of the propreit. driver... ill see if i can get you the exact name [11:19] KM0201; what happens if you click the left desktop? [11:19] Psycho_Mario: :D Okk i will do it :) ;) [11:19] how to change my keymap?? or create new??it's so damned difficult [11:19] <_ProGrammer> Hey all [11:20] Psycho_Mario: looks the same... hang on, i'll show you [11:20] <_ProGrammer> i got a d-link DWA 510 and i have ubuntu 10.04 [11:20] somebody use Ubuntu with HBA SAS to comunicate with STORAGE ???? [11:20] <_ProGrammer> it seems its detected but its disable and not ready [11:20] Psycho_Mario: if you look, my trashcan is clicked on that shot. [11:20] <_ProGrammer> when i try to ifconfig wlan0 up [11:20] KM0201; ah yes... what vbox version are you using? [11:21] <_ProGrammer> said its busy .... [11:21] _ProGrammer, you'll need to use networkmanager or wicd to interface with it [11:21] Psycho_Mario: um, 3.2 i think [11:21] jack87__, are you there? [11:21] jack87__, did you find the makefile? [11:21] rs0832, yes... sorry not having any luck [11:21] KM0201; maybe its ATI... or something to do with the way i set up my fullscreen... [11:21] jack87__, hmm try remaking [11:21] rs0832, no make file in sight [11:22] <_ProGrammer> psycho_oreos: where is exactly network manager or wicd ?!!!!! [11:22] Psycho_Mario: yeah, i really don't know.. it works fine for me. [11:22] Scarlson: How do you go about using this md5sums [11:22] _ProGrammer, usually on the desktop interface, in this case it'll be on gnome desktop [11:22] hi [11:22] hi [11:22] hi [11:22] KM0201; you're using debian? [11:23] jack87__, i highly doubt it, but if you redo the make file generation, you might be able to uninstall [11:23] Psycho_Mario: yes, [11:23] I removed a DVD and entered a normal CD, why doesn't it show in Nautilus? [11:23] <_ProGrammer> let me check and come back [11:23] rs0832, thanks.. i will try. [11:23] Psycho_Mario: i flashed it out a little, but yes. [11:23] Oglop: I might suggest testing your usb flash to verify it's function, there are counterfit usb flash that do not store the data they should, you can test it with http://www.ghacks.net/2009/08/28/test-usb-flash-drive-and-hard-drive-integrity-and-size/ [11:23] * jack87__ hates android sdk [11:23] KM0201; that could be it... maybe. some difference in the panels or something... [11:23] jack87__, good luck [11:23] mhlwjk, any luck? [11:23] * twitch thinks there is nothing too hate [11:24] Scarlson: I assure it's working [11:24] Psycho_Mario: i dunno... i've used this system on Ubuntu as well, and i don't see the issue you're having [11:24] How do you increase Ubuntu's size if you have done a install inside windows? [11:24] using Wubi? [11:24] I removed a DVD and entered a normal CD, why doesn't it show in Nautilus? [11:24] rs0832: nope. nothjing there. i can't find anything with broadcom [11:24] inserted * [11:24] KM0201; looks like ill just have to cope, im thinking about changing OS soon anyway, so maybe debian is an option to look into [11:24] mhlwjk, ok, i got something that you might find interesting - http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10283164 [11:24] gremmachook: you probably have to reinstall, because its a virtual drive. [11:25] KM0201, I have installed a lot of stuff and I don't want to remove it now [11:25] Psycho_Mario: it's not bad. but it's not nearly as user friendly as Ubuntu.. [11:25] scarlson: I will try a different USB however [11:25] gremmachook: then you shouldn't have used wubi [11:25] KM0201; thats kind of the exact reason im moving away from ubuntu :) [11:26] Psycho_Mario: lol, well just be forewarned, they are bit on the "pricK" side in #debian [11:26] KM0201; i want to learn, and ubuntu is moving towards ease of use over hackiing to make it work. [11:26] KM0201, Well, I thought I'd give it a try and now I'm in love with it. Isn't there any other way? [11:26] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [11:26] mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [11:26] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, [11:26] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [11:26] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [11:26] vincent_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:26] dmesg | tail or so [11:26] rs0832: will try that now:) [11:26] when the flood is up? [11:26] mhlwjk, also see if 'bcm4313-source' or something similar is there in the /var/cache/apt/archives [11:27] gremmachook: if there was another way, it would have been the first thing i told you.. you have a virtual drive, not an actual hard drive... wubi is a train wreck for many reasons. [11:27] can anyone out there hear me? [11:27] vincent_, sure [11:27] * KM0201 wonders why someone would paste so many lines in such a busy channel.. [11:27] KM0201, thanks [11:27] Hi.. [11:27] vincent_: no :P [11:27] KM0201; how long is the update cycle for debian? [11:27] sorry KM0201 [11:27] vincent_, if you need to post long messages/outputs, use a pastebin [11:28] ok I forgot [11:28] sorry === petr is now known as Guest13551 [11:28] vincent_: you forgot common sense?... guess i'm just not as forgiving.. === Guest13551 is now known as xbro [11:28] vincent_, :) [11:28] KM0201: lol *tickle* [11:28] KM0201, Have you tried this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20do%20I%20resize%20the%20virtual%20disks? === xbro is now known as bro [11:28] Psycho_Mario: it's not written in stone like Ubuntu... but usually close to 8-12mo === bro is now known as bro- === bro- is now known as bro_ [11:29] gremmachook: if someone ever tried to install wubi in my house, i'd throw them out [11:29] rs0832: got bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom--0ubuntu3_i386.deb [11:29] KM0201, THat's not the point [11:29] mhlwjk, any others? [11:29] gremmachook: but it answers your question [11:29] KM0201, sounds good, im downloading it now to try out in vbox, if it does everything i need, ill probably install it before i go back to school. [11:29] hiii [11:29] KM0201, No, I asked if it is possible to resize it. Pointless answer. [11:29] newbie here [11:30] The server at www.pastebin.org is taking too long to respond. [11:30] Oglop: I found more info on how to do md5sum on windows at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM search this page for MD5SUM on Windows [11:30] gremmachook: then have at it... you seem to have had a link to the answer before you asked.. so i'd say "pointless question" [11:30] Hello, I am on Maverick, and when I pause and resume something in VLC, there is no sound [11:30] vincent_: there's ike a gazillion pastebins... google it.. [11:31] KM0201, Again, I wanted to know if anyone has done it? Do you even read? [11:31] rs0832: no. f*** :) [11:31] can i install Ubuntu ultimate edition 64 bit with windoes 7 32 bit? [11:31] mhlwjk, i think it should be bcm5700-source.. can you check if that is installed in synaptic? [11:31] rs0832: will do [11:31] guess he didn't want to hear i read in 2 languages. [11:31] any suggestions [11:31] abiy:hii [11:31] BISMAY: ubuntu ultimate isn't supported here [11:32] !pastebin | vincent_ [11:32] vincent_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[11:34] KM0210:what does ultimate edition isn't suported here means? [11:34] mhlwjk, and if it does, ubuntu should pop up again asking you to install them :) [11:34] BISMAY: it means its not supported in #ubuntu [11:34] Then is there any other channel [11:34] rs0832: coll, will do that. olso when i start the system i usually have a password to connect to wifi but it doesn't appear and i can so NO wirelaee networks:) [11:34] <^AndreA^> Hi everybody, I'm setting up a new laptop with Ubuntu but, unfortunately, the audio is not working out of the box. On the HP site they say my sound system is: "Altec Lansing speakers". Anyone has dealt with it before and can give me a clue on what needs to be done? thanks in advance [11:34] KM0210: [11:34] BISMAY, no official ubuntu derivative called "ubuntu ultimate edition" [11:34] :o [11:34] BISMAY: i think so.. but i'd think you need to search the ubuntu ultimate site for that info... i don't keep track of that project [11:34] BISMAY: No idea. Go look on the website you got your derivative from. [11:35] mhlwjk, k:) [11:35] so I do it right with the pastebin and nobody responds :( [11:35] rs0832: forget about the last line, i had wifi off:) [11:35] km0210:here discusssed topic are mainlyon?? [11:35] mhlwjk, :D [11:35] Is it possible to mount my users home on a seperate drive in a folder from install time? at the moment, my fstab mounts my Terabyte drive and then mount-binds it in place, is it possible to do this during install? [11:35] BISMAY: #ubuntu? [11:36] BISMAY: #ubuntu is for discussion of Ubuntu and officially-supported derivatives. Ubuntu Ultimate Edition is neither of these things. [11:36] scarlson: Attempting to use a different USB while I try md5sums [11:36] KM0210:ok then on ubuntu 10.04 maverick meerkat and its updated versions [11:36] BISMAY: nice try [11:37] KM0210: also on xubuntu kubuntu and edibuntu [11:37] rs0832: :) it says i have to revert to any version prior to kernel 2.6.35.-24 gen. you know how to do it?.. [11:37] BISMAY: quit spamming and seek out ubuntu-ultimate support [11:38] rs0832: i know that recently i did some updates and i know kernel was updated [11:38] KM0210:i apologize fort hat [11:38] mhlwjk, then a backport should do it.. hold on [11:38] KM0210:sry [11:38] can you get a shell and edit the fstab thats going to be written, before first boot(when installing)? [11:38] in #ubuntu-it [11:39] KM0210:i was just willing to know if i can install ubuntu 64 bit along with windows 7 32 bit [11:39] BISMAY: you aren't even willing to type my name correctly... [11:39] scarlson: New USB having better luck so far then other [11:40] scarlson: To think I doubted your wisdom [11:40] BISMAY: and regardless, like i said, seek out support docs of ubuntu ultimate [11:40] mhlwjk, you should be able to install the older kernel from synaptic... then you will have an extra boot option for the older kernel.. select that to boot [11:40] KM0201:sry for that also [11:40] <^AndreA^> mmm... noone about my "Altec Lansing" speakers? :-| [11:41] KM0201:now can you suggest that will there be any problem if i installed a ubuntu 64 bit operating system along with windows 7?forget about ubuntu ultimate edition [11:41] <^AndreA^> on the net I haven't found much...

[11:42] BISMAY, normally no [11:43] BISMAY, if you do, then there should be no problem [11:43] BISMAY, and next time, please read the #ubuntu guidelines [11:43] icarus-c:yes my procesor is capable of 64 bit version [11:44] BISMAY, then it wont be a problem [11:44] rs0832:ok [11:44] BISMAY, :) [11:44] rs0831:thanks [11:45] BISMAY, no problem [11:45] You can browse the web on ubuntu 10.10?!

I'm gonna have a read... cheers [11:53] ^AndreA^, good luck :) [11:54] mr_blue: How come no more space? Im not 100% on this, but apt-get would install to /etc and the distro would then look for all programs in /etc automatically [11:54] where is the trash directory ? [11:54] !trash [11:54] 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 [11:55] mr_blue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1050570 [11:55] turneralex, eh.... normally /etc is used to store system config [11:55] icarus-c: I was wrong and corrected. [11:55] can I remove everything from trash directory I mean ~/.local/share/Trash [11:55] I can see files and info directories [11:55] How do i make it so that when i launch a terminal, the terminal window is maximized from start? [11:55] silv3r_m00n: sure [11:55] hello [11:56] icarus-c: /bin [11:56] silv3r_m00n, that would do the similar effect as clicking empty trash button [11:56] how to change my keymap?? or create new?? beyound weenie caps of xmodmap [11:56] /bin is not for user junk [11:57] there are some files in my trash which I cannot delete because of permission issues [11:57] I just need to clear it out [11:57] how ? [11:57] Linux has no file permissions, just rm them or entire folder [11:58] silv3r_m00n, gksudo nautilus and then try [11:58] me on kde [11:58] feanor2: 3rd time lucky... /usr/bin ?

[12:08] fzlamn, uck is ubuntu customisation kit... used for customising your ubuntu live cd [12:08] BISMAY, to your last question, yes [12:08] fzlman:i dont know rs0832 just told me [12:09] BISMAY, however, you can use a backup tool... there are a few of them in the repos that allow you to backup your system automatically and regularly [12:09] :-D where i can get the uck pakage? in ubuntu software centre? [12:09] rs0832, hmmm when i do gnome-terminal --fullscreen it says: Failed to parse arguments: Unknown option --fullscreen [12:09] fzlamn, yes [12:09] hello [12:09] rs0832:but if i have iso of all updates with ubuntu os then i can install it on any other pc [12:10] rs0832:like in my frinds computer [12:10] BISMAY, yes.. you can also use aptoncd, i think... but i dont have experience with that [12:10] Hello, I am on Maverick, and when I pause and resume something in VLC, there is no sound [12:10] rs0832:is uck a gui based interface [12:11] Diverdude, sorry, its --full-screen [12:11] hello , when I doubleclick on an icon of an executable which should be run in terminal nothing happens, how do I tell 10.10 to run that in a terminal ? [12:11] Diverdude, type gnome-terminal --help-window-options for the full list :) [12:11] BISMAY, yes [12:12] c3 [12:12] BISMAY, it gives you a gui for customising, and reports its progress to a terminal window console [12:12] what r wikis? [12:13] rs0832:md5sum is required for those distro that we download from internet [12:13] Guys is there anyway to syncronize my Nokia e72 with ubuntu?? [12:13] tintumon, they are websites that allow you to use indicators like __text put here will be italicized__to make text bold, colored, formatted, etc [12:13] rs0832:if i make my own os by including packages md5sum wont be an issue.Is it? [12:14] BISMAY, yes, because while downloading, sometimes the iso can get damaged [12:14] BISMAY, no, it shouldnt.. [12:14] rs0832, okay it works...but i have assigned a keyboard shortcut in preferences->keyboard shortcut. Here the entry is just called "run a terminal". How do i then alter the actual command to add the gnome-terminal --geometry=120x65 param? [12:14] anyone from russia? [12:14] rs0832:i got 6 entries of boot options after upgrading to 10.10 [12:14] hi [12:14] rs0832:ok [12:15] rs0832:hw to remove d unwanted ones? [12:15] cairo-dock appears transparent and no functioning, why? [12:15] meero, join #ubuntu-ru [12:15] lol [12:15] Diverdude, in the command box, just put gnome-terminal --geometry=120x65 instead of just gnome-terminal [12:16] rs0832, but there is no command box [12:16] SergeyIT: privet,i would like to ask just off-topic about hockey... [12:16] Diverdude, click the 'add' button.. there should be one there, i think [12:17] meero, не интересуюсь ( [12:17] tintumon, sorry? unwanted what? [12:17] Hello, anyone online that uses WoW on Ubuntu 10.10? [12:17] tintumon, ah ok.. did you run sudo update-grub in a terminal? [12:17] which is the syntax to insert the name of the file after gnome-terminal in the open with tab ? [12:18] rs0832:no [12:18] rs0832:wts dat 4? [12:18] tintumon, run it then.. it will update the boot menu by detecting all installed operating systems === deschlipzick is now known as Dlzmp3 [12:18] rs0832:means the older kernel entries will b removed right? [12:19] tintumon, if you have many boot entries for the same os, it is because you have more than one kernel installed [12:19] tintumon, you have to delete those kernels and then run sudo update-grub to remove the extra entries [12:19] rs0832:does uck is avilable fro ubuntu 10.10 64 bit? [12:19] BISMAY, i am not sure.. [12:20] rs0832:ya u right.......but anythin 2 do with grub.cfg? [12:20] tintumon, nope.. no need [12:20] rs0832: good answer [12:20] rs0832:i actulay want to include packages of 10.10 so is there any other way [12:21] tintumon, you just have to delete the kernels you dont want and then update-grub will automatically do whats necessary in grub.cfg [12:21] rs0832:then the only thing 2 do is to update d grub......right? [12:21] wyclif, sorry, which 1 ? :)? [12:22] rs0832: the "many boot entries" grub one =) [12:22] BISMAY, you can try other remaster tools, but they may be tougher to use.. check uck.sf.net if they have a 64 bit uck binary... otherwise install the one in the repos and see if it works... [12:22] wyclif, ah :)thanks [12:22] how does one turn the install iso into a bootable usb stick, using a distro other than ubuntu? the download page seems to have instructions only for doing from ubuntu... [12:23] rs0832:ok [12:23] BISMAY: are you making a custom mirror site or are you going to remastersys? [12:23] tintumon, first you have to remove the extra kernels... but i suggest getting someone from the channel to help you with it [12:23] cantabile, you could use unetbootin i suppose [12:23] is there a keymap editor, preferably gui one? [12:24] icarus-c: hmm [12:24] rs0832:ok thnx:) [12:24] tintumon, :) no problem [12:25] hey all ... on ubuntu-server (maverick) how can i stop my display going black (CONSOLE) ?? [12:25] rs0832:no none of that i was going to install ubuntu 10.10 64 bit ansd then install all of its feature ,eyecandys games and then make an iso so that i wont have to do that again and again [12:25] ^^ after a few minutes it goes in to saver mode which i do not want [12:26] rs0832:and i can use it on my desktop also [12:26] rs0832:internet connection is a problem here thats why [12:26] BISMAY, yes [12:26] podman99: tried setterm? [12:26] BISMAY, use aptoncd [12:26] rs0832:ok [12:26] cantabile, no, have not seen any docs through google to do it [12:26] any way to see if fsck is still doing anything? it's been going for about 12 hours...... loads are at exactly 1.0..... [12:26] podman99: it has a manual [12:27] and shows it's running in top, too... [12:27] okey bye [12:27] podman99, try man setterm in a terminal [12:27] KDE Fonon komponent tells me my soundcard was removed and is going to forget about it... what the hell is happening? [12:27] Hello, I am on Maverick, and when I pause and resume something in VLC, there is no sound [12:27] what ever is i in Home Folder also come in Desktop. Why??? [12:28] pzr11hdik56, because you have you desktop set to it? [12:28] feanor2, how to remove that? [12:28] pzr11hdik56, that is because your desktop is just like a portal into the ~/Desktop folder [12:29] pzr11hdik56, have no idea which tool you've used to achive that, but use it again [12:29] rs0832:its great thank you very much.I was looking for it for so long :) [12:29] BISMAY, :) no problem [12:30] mhlwjk, are you here? [12:30] why damned KDE stopped to detect my sound card?? it works ok elsewhere [12:31] pzr11hdik56, you generally can't remove it [12:31] turneralex, heyyy [12:31] rs0832, then, solution?? [12:31] pzr11hdik56, ubuntu is made that way... there is no solution :) [12:32] rs0832:why swap partition is necessary? [12:32] BISMAY, it's not [12:32] BISMAY, have you heard of pagefile on win? [12:32] rs0832:virtual pagefile [12:32] BISMAY, but linux will kill random processes if it runs oom [12:33] BISMAY, well its similar... if you run out of RAM, your os and other programs use your swap (pagefile on win) as virtual RAM [12:33] BISMAY: I'm told it also swap is also used in hybernate [12:33] rs0832:so it wont be a problem if a didn't create a swap partition [12:33] BISMAY, yes what sacarlson said.. probably dumps your ram there or something like that [12:34] BISMAY: You can turn the swap off -- but it does not hurt anybody.

[13:05] rejinarudo: try asking in #ubuntuforums [13:05] thanks LjL. :D [13:06] rejinarudo, do you have a dynamic ip? [13:06] rejinarudo, if you do, maybe it got banned when it was allocated to someone else [13:06] allocated to someone else? how can that happen? [13:07] rejinarudo, if you have a dynamic ip, you are allocated whichever ip in your isp;s range is free at logon.. [13:07] Dynamic. Magic. [13:08] rejinarudo, when you logoff the internet, it is freed and can be allocated to someone else when they connect [13:08] rejinarudo: Think of your ISP as a gigantic mega router. [13:08] rejinarudo, right ^^ [13:08] @rs0832: now i understand, but what can i do to prevent that? [13:09] rejinarudo, nothing actually,.. if your isp is willing to supply you a static ip on request, you can get one... most isp's charge extra for this though, like mine [13:09] I'm completely new at this, but.. I just installed ubuntu server, and a teamspeak server at that. Everything works like a charm; the problem is, and this is probably the most newbie-ish question ever.. How do I return to the commandline without shutting down the server? CTRL+C completely quits teamspeak. [13:09] In other words, where's the alt+tab for ubuntu server? :D [13:09] anyone know the terminal command for run (that is alt+F2) [13:09] shn^: command & [13:10] hi: i cannot access root's trash when I run gksudo nautilus.

It is a set of php-scripts. it automaticially isntalled apache and php but now i when i calle the apache there is no such script. also there is nothing in /var/www [13:43] so i am a littlebit confused where to find the scripts [13:43] ProfNoel, install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu [13:43] Dr_Willis, i tried google, but all the good answer appear to be removed from forum [13:43] feanor2: ive seen some guides on adding extra keys. when i had a old ibm keyboard with some extra keys. hit the funny keys a few times, check 'dmesg' output. I Think that gave some commands to get the kernel to see the keys. you then had to use a second command to remap them [13:43] !medibuntu [13:43] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [13:43] also tried "dpkg -I freeradius-dialupadmin" since i thought it would list me the contents of the package [13:43] anyboddy an idea on how i can find the scripts? [13:43] ProfNoel: you may have to use some windows tools.. Ive never seen anyone do that befor.

[13:51] arunkumar413, which package and why? [13:51] arunkumar413: is the package in the repos? (in an older version?)

Any recommendations on send only MTAs or particular setups? [14:19] Anoria: some apps are badly written and hate 'short' screens. a trick is to hold down the 'alt key' and click in the window then drag it up/down so you can get to controlls past the bottom of the screen [14:19] Anoria: Go for terminal world? GUI is GUI -- based on how they're designed. You could do everything in the terminal just the same. [14:20] Anoria: irssi for irc. finch for aim/msn/yahoo. lynx for web browser. It'll be a hard curse but everything can find in 600px tall. [14:20] I recll that 'wesnoth' was very bad at working with short displays. :( [14:20] is there a triangle plugin for compiz? [14:20] curve* [14:20] lynx for web browser is cool in theory, not so much in practise ;p [14:20] (well, it can be a curse for many) [14:20] Dr_Willis_: and red2kic: thank you both :) I'm not skilled enough to do most things in terminal yet, but it's a goal for me.

[14:24] hey when i play any song on website ubuntu first downlod it then play i want to play song on website without downloading it which software i will need [14:26] shishirdwivedi20: could depend on how the site is sending the song/file.

[14:31] recommond a simple and powerful and easy to use [14:31] induz: it depedns on your needs. ktorrent, qbittorrent, even utorrent has a linux port now [14:31] induz: Transmission [14:31] induz: your needs are rather vague and buzzwordish :) [14:31] Transmission is a torrent client on my comp [14:31] genupulas: why are youmsging me error messages? [14:31] i want to download few dictionaries [14:32] Can somebody help me installing a java library on ubuntu 10.04? [14:32] induz: most any torrent client can do the basics.. [14:32] i used to have aMule earlier [14:32] Dr_Willis_: u had asked me the error messages [14:32] induz: Transmission has a decent UI for those not comfy with a bittorrent CLI [14:32] Dr_Willis_: uTorrent finally made it's linux port? [14:32] cli is hard for me [14:33] genupulas: that was like an hr ago? i dont even recall the problem . and the messges say '404 - not found' so the server is down or being updated. [14:33] aMule used to do the work but it doesnt work now [14:33] Ryu_Kurisu: 32bit port - web inteface only [14:33] induz: That why you probably want a GUI bittorrent. Like Transmission, uTorrent, qBittorrent, &c. [14:33] hi there [14:33] dr_willis plz reply [14:33] induz: I recommend Deluge, very nice interface, easy to work :) [14:33] wyclif: I have Transmission [14:33] Thomas_Anderson: Missster Anderrrssson.

[16:08] aidrocsid, [16:08] rs0832, its on Goldendict website [16:08] coz_, thanks - but it didn't seem to do anything. Does it rely on daemons that I might not have running? [16:09] induz, you have the link? [16:09] How do I get the information about what driver a USB mobile modem uses? Is there any way to check what driver a device uses so that I know whatever I need to blacklist it or not?

[16:10] rs0832, do u use Goldendict? [16:10] induz, no, i mean about the plugin [16:10] Rockj: you could backlist kernel-updates and do it manually every now and then [16:10] induz, nope [16:10] gobbe: yes there is, graphicsdrivers uses it. dont know the name of it, some posthook function [16:10] Olá [16:10] coz_, dbud does seem to be running. gnome-session-save --kill gave an warning: Failed to call logout: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files [16:10] rs0832, forvo.com [16:10] coz_, yes, copy and pasted the dbugs command [16:11] *dbus [16:11] Mouldy, ooo something is up for sure on that end then [16:11] bibic682, yea that is what I had read as well, i was just glad i was able to get a tiny ammount of function from the linux driver because I had to d/l ndiswrapper , heh [16:11] Alguém a fim de tc/ [16:11] Mouldy, you want to shut down you can also try in terminal sudo init 0 [16:11] rs0832, i dont know how to asseble goldendict with forvo.com [16:11] Mouldy, that is a zero not the letter "o: [16:11] bibic682, once I did that I fired it up and pointed it to the driver and rebooted, bingo [16:12] coz_, yeah. I know how to shutdown via cli - but I was hoping to re-assign that gui dialog to my power button - like it is in gnome [16:12] Mouldy, that dbus command should definitly bring up the shutdown dialog for you [16:12] bye bye [16:13] Would somebody be so kind to help me get Jinput on ubuntu 10.04?

[16:13] coz_, I'm assuming that dbus command is what gnome-session-save calls? [16:13] Alan502, so did you try sudo apt-get install jinput [16:14] Mouldy, well it is going through dbus to run the session manager and it should quick and precise [16:14] Padron: Had same prob after install, very little connection and had to download ndiswrapper...all in a days install i guess:) [16:14] hi, i need to enable a second monitor "blindly". i use 'xrandr --output VGA-1 --auto' but i think mabye VGA-1 is not the correct one. what other combinations are possible? i am on a laptop [16:15] induz, sorry , i cant seem to figure it out either.. i have never used it [16:15] Alan502, that package should be in the Universe repository [16:15] !jinput [16:15] coz_, hmm, can you think of any reason why that dbus command silently does nothing and the gnome-session-manager command does nothing with that warning? It works absolutely fine when I hit the power button in gnome :s [16:15] rs0832, I will figure later as I use Goldendict [16:15] Benkinooby, check output of "xrandr" [16:16] induz, good luck :) [16:16] coz_, I know, sorry, I'm on karmic [16:16] Mouldy, off hand no... my routine would be to first run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade then reboot with init 6 and start again to see if any of those commands run.... [16:16] but does source-packages in debian have any guidelines on how to install em? [16:17] mmm [16:17] aptitude/apt-get install package etc for normal packages, but what about source packages? [16:17] rumpe1, i said i have to do it blindly. so i can not see any output on the screen:( [16:17] Rockj, generally in a source package,,,once extracted... there should be a README or INSTALL file [16:17] Benkinooby, how about remote-login via ssh?

I'm pretty sure I'm as up to date as 10.04 can be, but I'll double check and reboot anyway just in case (: [16:18] rumpe1, i allready tried VGA-1,VGA1, DVI-1, DVI1 LSVD1 [16:18] coz_: if not, I would just aswell download it from a normal webpage like sourceforge [16:18] Rockj, use the -b option in apt-get [16:18] Hello. I installed Ubuntu 10.10. How can I set the kezboard settings for all users_ [16:19] Mouldy, I would do that just as habit especially if you have any issue....a dist-upgrade could ..in theory...fix some issues [16:19] Benkinooby, here i have LVDS1 ... but guessing blindly sounds not so smart [16:19] Rockj, let me check online hold on [16:19] Benkinooby, install if necessary openssh-server and login remotely [16:19] Why are flash games so slow in full screen??? why they don't make flash plugin faster?? or its just me??

Don't see it run m-a or anything [16:20] aidrocsid, hmm where is your windows/ubuntu install ? [16:20] ZykoticK9, Why they don't fix it?? there are a lot of good games that can be played via flash, but its poor. >.> [16:21] Rockj, use the git clone command for the git download on that page [16:21] Not sure. hd0,1 i thought [16:21] Rockj, there is indeed a README text file in there with instructions [16:21] bibic682, yea man, the original driver out of the box could see all the networks, and connect to them, but was worthless, the only thing I ever managed to do with it was get 1/2 of the google main page to load, one time, and never again, so i looked around and located the newest linux driver from realtek and made it etc and that made a difference, if only enough to barely click a few pages and download packages in the kb size , heh [16:21] aidrocsid, hmm are you on a livecd? [16:21] tas, talk to adobe. [16:21] but i may be mistaken [16:21] no [16:21] ZykoticK9, xD [16:21] aidrocsid, win? [16:21] Rockj, here is the command to download it git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-java/jinput.git [16:21] vista [16:22] 10.04 in wubi [16:22] coz_: why would I have jinput? what I want is acerhk.. [16:22] aidrocsid, you are booted into win vista now? [16:22] http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/maverick/acerhk [16:22] Rockj, sorry wrong person [16:22] no right now I'm sitting at the windows boot loader [16:22] me [16:22] Alan502, did you get jinput? [16:22] err [16:22] manager [16:22] co [16:22] coz_, no :( [16:22] teddy ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/bash <--Not correct. I want to add a line in sudoers so I do not have to type my password everytime I sudo bash to root. [16:22] coz_: hehe, no worries. [16:22] coz_, should i look at that git? [16:23] i had to restart a million times to catch the error because it disappears right away [16:23] rs0832: ok, but apt-get install acerhk-source -b is supposed to run m-a and various other tools which installs the module aye? [16:23] Alan502, yeah make sure git-core is installed and then open a terminal type cd Desktop then run git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-java/jinput.git [16:23] rs0832: because nothing happens here basically after installing it. I atleast can't modprobe acerhk [16:23] Alan502, in that file will be a README text the build directions are there [16:24] Rockj, hmm if you got it with apt-get, the -b option is supposed to build/compile the source [16:24] Rockj, maybe it compiled from the kernel.. in that case, when you reboot, you should have an extra boot menu entry for that kernel.. boot into that and then modprobe [16:25] rs0832: maybe it's corrupt? [16:25] aidrocsid, so on windows, where is ubuntu? [16:25] C:\ubuntu [16:25] wubildr is in C:\ubuntu\winboot [16:25] aidrocsid, that would mean sda1 or hd0,1 [16:25] I installed some packages and apt-get complained that /etc/pam.d/common-auth was locally modified (which is correct), [16:25] coz_, rebooted and no luck ): Thanks for everything anyway (: [16:25] rs0832: hm, it mentions something about make-kpkg in README.Debian [16:25] but let me two choices: use my version or overwrite it [16:25] i'll have to look in windows [16:25] that's the debian/ubuntu way of doing it [16:26] how can I have it let me view/merge the local and incoming(being installed) changes? === johan44 is now known as johanness_ [16:26] Rockj, yes [16:26] Mouldy, not sure what the issue is then... I know that dbus command should run actually on any ubuntu version that has dbus [16:26] Mouldy, someone here may be able to hunt down the issue [16:26] So Macedonia's educational system uses Ubuntu? [16:26] AegNuddel, probably Edubuntu [16:27] ok I am using MS 2007 using Wine on ubuntu karmic How can i type in Hindi?? [16:27] Rockj, you could try whats mentioned there.. the build option will only do as much as is specified to be build by the software authors configs after all [16:27] coz_, yes [16:27] rs0832: I got no idea on how that works. but there is also a line about "module-assistant auto-install acerhk" should do the trick (installs only for the current running kernel) ... but it does basically nothing... just sits there hanging on 0% (building starting) [16:27] aidrocsid, hold on [16:27] coz_, it's strange how it just does nothing. I would have expected it to throw some sort of error up if anything had gone wrong [16:27] AegNuddel, oh boy ...I must be having a bad day ... saying the right things to the wrong person :) [16:27] coz_, but just the fact of the matter is our local school district is suffering so many budget cuts. I think it would be a good alternative === kampf_frettchen_ is now known as kampf_frettchen [16:28] are there any resident dbus experts online at the moment? [16:28] Mouldy, yes for sure... a dialog should come up ... you probably have seen it if not I can screenshot it but that doesnt help [16:28] Rockj, hmm i guess you could reboot and see if the extra kernel has been added then.. or check in /boot [16:28] Padron: I think ndiswrapper will solve most peoples wireless connection problems [16:29] aidrocsid, windows boots fine right? [16:29] yeah [16:29] coz_, what? That is what I meant :) Just saying you're right [16:29] luckily it seems i finally cleared up its virus/malware problems or i'd be in a real pinch [16:29] Mouldy, the one person I know of ...one of the devs in compiz is not online right now [16:29] Hi all. I'm exporting my openoffice presentation as a SWF movie. But the default movie player, doesn't recognize it. What can I do? [16:30] AegNuddel, yeah i figured that out after you you said "yes" apparenlty you were speaking to someone else ,, i apologize [16:30] hi, What's your preference on the "fast" loading pdf reader for ubuntu?

[16:41] aidrocsid: well then why on earth would you use it?... [16:41] KM0201, thanks :) [16:42] to avoid repartitioning [16:42] aidrocsid: you don't consider that "ease of use"...? [16:42] well i guess [16:42] Dr_Willis, Ya I checked forums, also tried S60 Remote, didn't worked, I use for any one task at a time, either Tethering or as mass storage, can't get both. [16:42] 'ease of installing' [16:42] but it's not like repartitioning is hard [16:42] Dr_Willis_: i'll concede tht [16:42] geektribe: it may not be doable... [16:42] #blu-ray [16:43] It's easier than this broken wubi stuff lol [16:43] has anyone had trouble getting eduke to work with hrp [16:43] aidrocsid: so why didn't you just partition the drive and install? [16:43] wubi = pain. [16:43] well that's what i'm gonna do now [16:43] Dr_Willis_, ok :-( [16:43] gotta find a cd though [16:43] i just can't imagine anyone who's partitioned a drive before, even fathoming using Wubi... baffles the mind. [16:43] I am trying to play an online game on pogo.com and I'm not quite sure if the games on the site use flash or java but I've tried to open/play the games okn both the chromium web browser and the firefox browser but for some reason neither of them are working nor will they open the games... i tested my flash player and it seems to be up-to-date, however I believe my Java is outdated, but i don't know how to update it... i think i'm using icedtea? could a [16:43] I might have been out of cds [16:44] Dr_Willis_, do I need any runtime dependencies if I try running Nokia PC Suite under Wine.

[16:44] kmck, it uses java (pogo) [16:44] rs0832: I don't understand why boot.ini isn't there [16:44] rs0832: what isn't messed up in Vista? [16:44] rs0832, i am back [16:44] !java [16:44] kmck: then use java instead of the openjdk [16:44] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. 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. === max is now known as Guest91500 [16:44] KM0201, i agree completely :) [16:44] i couldn't fix the problem with installing that stuff [16:44] trojanking, hmm [16:45] xangua: i don't know how... i know this sounds ridiculous but i don't know how to switch from icedtea to java? [16:45] i got to a stage and got a different message not in manual [16:45] coz_, sorry i was afk, thanks but, it says that it depends on jutils being on the libraries? [16:45] ... [16:45] aidrocsid, ok.. you are going to have to use msconfig [16:46] aidrocsid, they replaced boot.ini with bce.exe or something like that... can you find something like bce.cfg or something? [16:46] rs0832, i stoped at gedit etc/wvdial.conf [16:46] trojanking, what error? [16:46] kmck, xangua: Use sudo update-java-alternatives to switch which version of java you are using. [16:46] can i do it through msconfig? [16:46] rs0832, Are you a robot? You were on here helping people all night?

[17:08] rs0832:all the packages of kde desktop environment [17:08] How can i apply my unallocated hard drive space to my ubuntu partion? [17:08] milamber: yes, actually brand new, and very confused... and very scared because i don't want to mess anything up haha [17:08] ;controls [17:08] rs0832:but it only shows only 243 packages [17:08] bismay, hmm [17:09] milamber: so should i click on the lucid line in my software sources it is under 'unsupported update' is that ok? [17:09] ;controls [17:09] ;controls | Ryu_Kurisu [17:09] rs0832:which has only jdk some linux header files [17:09] bismay: when I installed my new system and wanted all the apps from the first I used this method, might this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 [17:10] bismay, ok.. 1 sec [17:10] Do any of you have any answers for how you keep Maverick from permanently losing the display any time you keep the lid closed on the HP Pavilion dv6 for more than 5 minutes? === sysop is now known as Guest40771 [17:10] what's the kernel argument to disable loading framebuffer [17:11] kmck: yes, that is what you want [17:11] system>preferences>screensaver em ; or try energy [17:11] can someone please sugggest a firewall for 10.10? i have firestarter as of now. is that good enough to do the job/ [17:11] bismay: it just creates a list of all applications loaded on the first and instructs dselect on the new system to install all of them [17:11] sidp: i believe all of htem are jus a GUI front for ufw.. .. [17:12] xangua: yep. I did all that. i have it all on the least agressive settings Even on just "blank screen" as opposed to "suspend or hibernate' it loses display and never comes back. [17:12] so i dragged a bunch of mp3s to my iphone 3g at the top level in my iphone file system but i dont see any music when i open my ipod thing. i CANT transfer with itunes cuz i have linux. should i move my music somewhere else? [17:12] zxd, you mean like nofb? [17:12] -bash: nano: command not found [17:12] sidp: firestarter is just a GUI [17:12] Progress: I can now get to "Disk Setup" in the kubuntu installer, but none of the buttons do anything ... add, change or New Partition Table ... any ideas? [17:12] milamber: ok so i selected the two lines and closed out of it and clicked reload and it looked like it was downloading something and then everything went away... so, so far so good i believe, now the next step says to search for sun java in the software center but 36 things came up, am i suppose to download and install them all? [17:12] -bash: nano: command not found , -bash: gedit: command not found .... what should i try ??? [17:12] sacarlson:but if i dont have any intenet connection then i cant install these packages [17:12] denile: nofb does it? [17:12] KM0201, xangua so that will do the job right? i don't want to use the cui to configure ufw. not too comfortable with it [17:12] bismay, actually, [17:13] bismay: true but you will have a list of all the deb files that they have scripts to download [17:13] milamber: ok, i see that i can type it in the terminal to download [17:13] kmck: use the terminal command: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [17:13] sidp: i've never heard of xangua.... [17:13] rs0832:yes [17:13] KM0201, xangua is the other member who replied to my question and not a firewall :p [17:13] sacarlson:that is helpful [17:13] -bash: nano: command not found , -bash: gedit: command not found .... what should i try ????? [17:13] bismay, there is one really simple way... it is not a very posh/professional way, but it might work in a very simple way [17:13] sidp: oh...lol.. [17:14] haha [17:14] kmck: try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts you should be good to go now [17:14] rs0832:may i know please [17:14] sidp: the whole point is.. .Firestarter is just a GUI for a firewall that Ubuntu already has built in.. it's not an actual firewall program... [17:14] it won't hurt to try [17:14] zxd, try nofb. if it doesnt work try nomodeset [17:14] sidp: i use a router, frankly because i hate software firewalls. [17:15] KM0201, that means i don't need to worry about the firewall then right? ubuntu takes care of it on its own? [17:15] bismay, you can use the -d opption of apt-get [17:15] sidp: as a sysadmin you *always* have to worry about the firewall [17:15] sidp: well, by default, all ports are open, if you have a concern and need to close some ports, or whatever... [17:15] rs0832:what it does? [17:15] bismay, just run 2 commands for each package you want to install... sudo apt-get install -d and sudo apt-get build-dep -d [17:15] milamber: he never mentioned he was a sysadmin [17:16] KM0201, i thought they were closed by default. milamber so unless i'm sudo'ing, theres no need to worry? [17:16] sidp: i'm sorry, cloed by default... [17:16] milamber: yay!!! i think it's working, i am now at a blueish screen that says "configuring sun-java6-jre" what do i do here? [17:16] KM0201: if he is worrying about the firewall he is administering at least one system :) [17:16] milamber: i've tried hitting enter but nothing is happening? [17:16] sidp: are you running some huge network, or is this a home system? [17:16] bismay, this will download all the debs that you need to /var/cache/apt/archives... just copy them all to a dvd and then on the new system, cd to the dvd and run sudo dpkg -i *.deb [17:16] kmck: follow the prompts. most of the defaults should work [17:17] KM0201, ahhh sounds good. one less thing to worry about. hhaha nope it's only one laptop connected to a wifi router at home. nothing else. it doesn't even have any sensitive data on it yet and probably never will but you just got to take the precautions [17:17] milamber: hahahaha well i'm trying to hit enter or click on "OK" but nothing is happening [17:17] milamber: just easier to deal w/ a router i guess... given the fact linux is fairly safe from malware/viruses.. i don't worry about what is going out to much [17:17] bismay, that will install everything from the dvd :) [17:17] sidp: ubuntu doesnt handle firewalls on its own [17:17] sidp: for crying out loud, then don't worry about it... [17:18] bismay, but i suggest listening to what sacarlson was telling you.. i have to sleep now :) [17:18] rs0832:ook [17:18] something3l53, we'll i have firestarter with the play button on haha i hope that's enough [17:18] KM0201, i guess i shouldn't [17:18] bismay, i will be online tomorrow, i can help you with aptoncd then if you still need it :) [17:18] bismay, so good luck :) [17:18] rs0832:gudnight and thank you [17:18] KM0201, something3l53 , milamber thanks for the inputs :) [17:18] !screenshot | kmck [17:18] kmck: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button.

I'm on a Lenny/Sid-box. "A friend of mine" changed the root-password and now can't remember it... [18:20] Sub_Zero: so definetly that doesn't affect all broadcom-wireless [18:20] !root | drlaban [18:20] drlaban: 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 [18:20] hello [18:20] hidnshadows, your computer boots from the external as well assume [18:20] drlaban: you're better off seeking help in #debian [18:20] *I [18:21] please i need help, i just installed ubuntu, when i reboot it takes me to ubuntu how do i get options to choose the os i will like to load? [18:21] nit-wit no, it boots from local internal. I'm just using the external for storage [18:21] drlaban: actually the password for 'su' is the root password if u know it its just right :) [18:21] Hello [18:21] please i need help, i just installed ubuntu, when i reboot it takes me to ubuntu how do i get options to choose the os i will like to load? [18:21] Someone who knows how to upload files to newsgroups? [18:21] nit-wit well, I want to use the external for storage [18:22] trojanking: did you set up a dual boot system? [18:22] trojanking: grub should show if you have a dual boot, if you run: sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub do you see windows mentioned? [18:22] trojan king install startupmanager [18:22] hidnshadows, I see you just want a data external, if you want to share with windows you just need a ntfs [18:22] drlaban: Please use #debian for Debian questions. #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support only. [18:22] Press SHIFT trojanking [18:22] gsfai: I wonder if you can try dd do dump the first 512 bytes of /dev/sda1 [18:22] KM0201, Pici: Off to #debian I will go. Thank you. [18:23] i think you formated wour disk so you can't see any another os trojanking [18:23] ActionParsnip, no i dont know anything about it i started ubuntu today [18:23] nit-wit any way to format it to that in linux? my windows machine doesn't mount it or whatever it's called [18:23] gsfai: or just dd 512 bytes of /dev/sda [18:23] trojanking: run it in a terminal [18:23] neriukas: if he wasn't paying attention, quite possible.. hope he likes Linux..lol [18:23] sacarlson, i am not skilled in the use of dd [18:23] gsfai: i've used it a bit but will require some google [18:24] While i'm here, anyone need any general troubleshooting? [18:24] i have run it [18:24] hidnshadows, yes the gparted partitioner on the live cd will make a partition table and partitions. If you use a installed Ubuntu you just have to install gparted [18:24] ActionParsnip, i have do it [18:24] well, i want to upload files to newsgroups. but no idea how to do that. [18:24] nit-wit and then lemme guess, partition>new? [18:25] trojanking: if you ran all those commands he gave you.. reboot and see if it picked up your other OS install [18:25] gsfai, what happens if you try to mount sda1? [18:25] what is in da1? :D [18:25] hidnshadows, yes, have you used gparted it is similar to most other partitioner's [18:25] *sda1? [18:26] nit-wit I've already done that, make a new partition, but is ext2 the wrong thing to format it to? [18:26] bye [18:26] gsfai: I think it's dd if=/dev/sda of=./test.dat count=1 [18:26] hidnshadows, why would you want ext2 just asking [18:26] gsfai: might need a sudo [18:26] nit-wit it was the default, what should I have formatted it to? [18:27] nit-wit the closest thing was FAT32 [18:27] how do i convert bash script file into a binary executable (so the contents of the script are not viewable/output)? [18:27] tcopeland, there is no way to convert it to binary [18:28] tcopeland: it's not possible. If you need binary, then program it with program language, bash scripts are just scripts [18:28] tcopeland: #bash might have some suggestions on how to do that. [18:28] denile: that's an idea gsfai, will it mount? [18:28] hidnshadows, you just need to use that drop down where you see the partition types to get the one you want. ext2 can be read by windows but it is not a easy raod where as a ntfs is the standard route for sharing. All my externals are in ntfs and I'm a 99% open source user just happen to have MS licences and installs [18:28] anyone have any idea what tool I can use to convert a multi-address vcf file into smaller single address files ? [18:29] sacarlson, I am also interested in the error if it won't mount :) [18:29] sacarlson, second [18:29] nit-wit I didn't see ntfs, I'll look again [18:29] hidnshadows, are you using gparted [18:30] it doesn't have to be binary per se, but can i make an executable out of an sh? a programming language seems unnecessary seing as the script just executes a few terminal commands [18:30] denile, i tried to mount, the program took like one hour trying to mount it, and then i quit it manualy [18:30] nit-wit I was, yeah [18:30] nit-wit freshly installed from the repos [18:30] hidnshadows, I am making a picture for you [18:30] gsfai: quit manualy with no error? like time out? [18:30] gsfai, since you killed the mount have you rebooted? [18:31] denile, nope [18:31] nit-wit I've made the partition, I just didn't see ntfs in the drop-down of what to format it to [18:31] sacarlson, it just hanged === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [18:31] sacarlson, ok got your results [18:31] hidnshadows, have you found it [18:31] gsfai: how about view some /var/log/system files [18:31] Can anyone help me with my wireless issue? [18:31] Sub_Zero: what kind of issue? === George_ is now known as GeorgiePie [18:32] it has a few non-ascii characters, then says "GRUB GeomHard DiskRead Error" [18:32] Sub_Zero: does this have to do with a broadcom wireless card? [18:32] nit-wit I feel stupid now, it's "create partiton table" that I want? [18:32] Sub_Zero: if this is really a wide-spread problem as you suspect, there's probably not much of a "fix" for it... you'll have to wait till there's an update [18:32] gsfai: what's that from the dd? [18:32] I installed ubuntu through wubi. but it says my disk space free is 7 gigs. that is a little too slim . should i just delete ubuntu and wubi it all over? [18:32] yes [18:32] gobbe tcopeland I made a thread and apparently it's to do with the new kernel http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1655602&page=1 [18:33] Any help would be appreciated [18:33] Sub_Zero: well, like I told. I am running same kernel and broadcom wireless atm [18:33] sacarlson, denile: Dec 30 13:33:36 ubuntu kernel: [ 9.118994] EXT4-fs warning (device sda1): ext4_clear_journal_err: Marking fs in need of filesystem check. [18:33] from syslog [18:33] tcopeland: is there a link detailing this broadcom problem w/ the new kernel [18:34] georgiepie may I PM you? [18:34] hidnshadows, click on devices in the top panel, you have to remove the partitions first, it is empty correct [18:34] KM0201: i do not have the issue, i was just wondering if it had to do with the broadcom cards because of the recent known issue. [18:34] Heard recently about an email client called mailsteward for macs that uses an sql database to allow for quick searches of large archives of emails [18:34] gsfai: I just did the dd on mine and just get random data, I need a hex view but I forget the name [18:35] any ideas of a linux equicalent? [18:35] tcopeland: is there anywhere to read about this "known issue".. is my pont. [18:35] nit-wit probably, as far as I know it is even though the fact that it looks empty, yet is only 456 GB instead of the advertised 500 is a bit troubling [18:35] equivalent,,,... [18:35] gsfai, check mtab? [18:36] mtab says nothing about /dev/sda [18:36] hidnshadows, that is just the mathematics of how a gig is measured [18:36] It is already that way... [18:36] gsfai, check /proc/mounts [18:36] I downloaded the HP drivers from their website. What's the difference between HPIJS and HPCUPS ppd files? [18:37] denile, nothing about /dev/sda there either [18:37] gsfai, hrrm [18:37] nit-wit alright. So hit device>create partition table, then what type do I want, msdos? [18:37] hidnshadows, yes [18:37] nit-wit alright sweet thanks man [18:37] hi guys [18:38] hidnshadows, here is a screen shot of the partition choice section. http://imagebin.org/130270 [18:38] my splash screen got messed up after installing the Ati graphics drivers [18:38] is there any soln for it to get it back [18:38] without removing the drivers [18:38] abhijeet, do you get the grub menu [18:40] nit-wit, yeah.. now the progress buttons looks like small squares [18:40] KM0201: (sorry for the delay in response) it's strange because i have a ~3 year old broadcom chipset and mine works fine [18:40] hmm how do i set my timzone in gnome [18:41] i think its set wrong, showing the wrong time [18:41] abhijeet, if you get the grub menu you can hit e and add nomodeset righ before the quiet splash in the kernel line, this gives you a low graphics mode === hekos is now known as Hekos [18:41] gsfai: I just got my ghex working they changed the name to ghex2 and seems I see the same thing in dd /dev/sda so the disk must be working [18:41] KM0201: it needs proprietary drivers (don't all broadcom cards?) and takes a while to wakeup when waking from suspend, but otherwise fine [18:41] nit-wit, will that resolve the issue [18:41] abhijeet, you just ctrl+x to boot from the edit [18:41] sacarlson, the disk was OK, until a power failure [18:42] abhijeet, it may get you in in a low graphics to fix the problem [18:42] when i booted next time i got a BusyBox shell [18:42] gsfai: oh busybox means the grub works then [18:42] nit-wit, if it got resolved then how can i make it permanent [18:42] sacarlson, but everything else doesnt :) [18:42] abhijeet: use this: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ makes the boot use the fb driver [18:43] abhijeet, you added a graphics driver that messed up your splash, correct [18:43] nit-wit, yes [18:44] ActionParsnip, i will also check that [18:44] abhijeet: are you using xorg-edgers [18:44] gsfai: ok what seen if we do a dd on /dev/sda1 since I assume this is were you have grub set to find root and /boot [18:44] abhijeet, all this does is get you into a session in low graphics, was the generic driver working? [18:44] During installation of Ubuntu 10.04 I was not allowed to use capitals in my Username. Is there any way I could change this? [18:44] tcopeland, i have no idea. what is that === Hekos is now known as hekos [18:44] sacarlson, grub is not the problem [18:44] gsfai: I'm not sure we will be able to interprit what we see [18:44] the machine boots, until it gets a nice and sexy Busybox [18:44] nit-wit, generic driver is working but my system is getting hot and fans are running fast... [18:44] nirazio, to my knowledge capitals aren't allowed in "user names" [18:44] and i cant fsck it [18:45] Hi all! :) [18:45] nirazio, and i wouldn't suggest using capitals in a case sensitive os [18:45] gsfai: no the problem is when grub tries to install linux and I guess can't find it and that's in /dev/sda1 [18:45] hello Leonw [18:45] abhijeet: edgers is a *very* unstable open source graphics drivers, that can be very powerful with the right hardware. the instability is caused by its being updated straight from upstream. [18:45] abhijeet, not sure how a graphics driver would change that [18:45] Any one solved the bug on Empathy "Network Error" for msn accounts on ubuntu 10.04? [18:45] sacarlson, the problem i had yesterday is 100% solved [18:45] gsfai: you can't fsck it but you can dd it [18:45] sacarlson, that problem is on a laptop [18:46] tcopeland, then in that case no.. I am using close source Ati drivers.. it has lot better power management than open source drivers. [18:46] gsfai: if you can dd it then you could really recreate it on anouther working partition [18:46] gsfai, you can dd it piping to another computer :P [18:46] abhijeet, you added a ppa [18:46] Leonw: check the bug logs to see if it's solved [18:47] nit-wit, ppa of what?? [18:47] Empathy + MSN... any one was able to make it work?? [18:47] sacarlson, what if i can dd it? It will still have the same errors [18:47] abhijeet, did you? [18:47] hi need help [18:47] tcopeland: the issue is, is that the proprietary driver takes a while to load, giving no plymouth [18:47] nit-wit, there are lot of pps repos are there in my sources.list file [18:47] allgandu: askaway [18:47] gsfai: if you can dd it you can move it to where it's not buys [18:47] busy [18:47] abhijeet, did you add one like the xcrack drivers one [18:47] ActionParsnip, is there any work around for that [18:48] nit-wit, i d't think so.. [18:48] actionparsnip how do i show u a screenshot of my terminal ? [18:48] tcopeland: if you tell the OS to use the fb driver for the boot, it shows. The proprietary driver has now had time to load and will be used in the desktop :) [18:48] gsfai: I might be way off here [18:48] sacarlson, the disk is NOT busy, linux just thinks it is, because of an error [18:48] ActionParsnip, Why put a bugged software as standard?? :( [18:49] allgandu: press printscreen, or use imagemaick [18:49] even lsof and fuser return errors [18:49] ActionParsnip, this harms ubuntu reputation... [18:49] ActionParsnip: i'm going to kick myself but what do you mean by "fb driver"? [18:49] gsfai: you must be correct, there must be some busy bit it reads and things it is [18:49] tcopeland, as ActionParsnip told that drivers are taking time to load .. can we make it load during initial stages of boot [18:49] tcopeland: instead of the frglrx driver, you can use the fb driver [18:49] wats imagemaick? [18:49] allgandu: a brilliant swissarmy knife of image manipulation tools and commands [18:50] ActionParsnip, i think earlier i was using frglrx drivers.. so is there another driver type [18:50] actionparsnip where do i upload? [18:50] allgandu, just add "command line" to ActionParsnip's comment above ;) [18:50] abhijeet: use the guide up until the embedded video and it will force the boot to use the driver [18:50] gsfai: maybe I can google the map for busy or mounted indicator bit map in a partition [18:51] Running games under Wine VS V tualbox, wich is better, pros and cons of each, and is there a better solution to run Windows games in linux? [18:51] ActionParsnip, the link which u provided at top right?? [18:51] Leonw: default doesnt mean an app is any worse or better [18:51] *Virtualbox [18:51] sacarlson, there should be a way to override this, like -f [18:51] ActionParsnip, it should at least work :-/ [18:51] but fsck has no -f [18:51] abhijeet: yes [18:51] ActionParsnip, ok [18:51] sum1 plz help [18:52] its serious kernel issue [18:52] Leonw: i always use pidgin, and not msn stuff [18:52] !screenshot | allgandu [18:52] allgandu: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button.

It might fix any known bugs with your chipset [19:40] Dr_Willis_, This is the error: http://pastebin.com/TsMkaPmp [19:40] gsfai, grep /proc/mounts for sda [19:40] alright... how would i determine the chipset? and i would but the wire doesent reach that far and my dad wont let me move the computer closer to fix it for somereason [19:40] no results [19:40] gsfai, does it give the same errors as before on lsoffuser? [19:40] lsof fuser*( [19:41] DDAZZA, looks like you have a region issue. sorry i have no idea how to fix that - FYI you can only change the region of a dvd player a certain number of times before it's locked - so be careful [19:41] Yes [19:41] My damn header files are in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic/include/linux [19:41] Wow!

I did an 'eject' from Nautulus but now I can't seem to mount it back online. Is there anything I can do to get it working again? [19:43] R3dy, if you're trying VMWare 7.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 i found a patch online (no i won't provide link, as it was very questionable - but it worked) http://paste.ubuntu.com/548905/ [19:43] how do i check to see if a service is running? [19:43] I don't think I'm using 7.1 [19:43] DDAZZA: i would double check that the decess stuff is isntalld. -> libdvdcss [19:43] gsfai: I thought we had that Cannot stat file /proc/13989/fd/36: Stale NFS file handle ok a little diff [19:43] ActionParsnip i said the easiest way :D [19:43] but thanks i'll check it out [19:43] sacarlson, yes, but now it has 3 errors, it used to have 2 :P [19:44] gsfai: oh ok === TechnoticRacoon is now known as TechnoticHaxxor [19:44] gsfai: well that's progress for ya [19:44] sacarlson, not much lol I am starting to feel useless [19:45] Ryein: its not easy, its very involved [19:45] gsfai: and I failed to find anything about bit that marks buys [19:45] busy [19:45] Dr_Willis_, Thanks yea that was it I didn't have libdvdcss2 so I must have removed it by mistake thanks again.

[19:47] device / resource busy [19:47] gsfai, k ty for your patience [19:47] i'd like to edit the session options in kde login in ubuntu Maverick, could someone please advise me on how to do this? [19:47] soreau but what utility can I use to host files, so that someone else does that [19:48] what is OFTC? [19:48] gsfai, you have gparted on the live boot? [19:48] hidnshadows: You put them on a server [19:48] soreau so no "easy" way to do it, even just for local network? === TechnoticHaxxor is now known as group === group is now known as TechnoticHaxxor [19:48] KaiForce: Its another IRC network, separate from freenode. There are a lot of similar channels on it though. [19:49] denile, i do [19:49] does anyone know where the init files are for kde login? [19:49] does ubuntu 10.10 no longer read fdi files with HAL? [19:49] gsfai, try and check partition from gparted and see what happens [19:50] i've searched everywhere . . . [19:50] hidnshadows: Im sure there is a way to have one of your machines behave as server [19:51] soreau alright, I was hoping for something but I'll just try server edition on a virtual edition [19:51] Haraken: 14.14 d 5.1.49 [19:51] denile, device or resource busy [19:51] hidnshadows: You dont need server edition to do what you want [19:51] hi [19:52] schatan, 10.04? [19:52] hidnshadows: Any linux will work, you would just have to set it up to act that way [19:52] err shcherbak errr 10.04? [19:52] 10.10 [19:52] anyone know what applet.jar would be located in /var/www/ ??? [19:52] how can install winzip on ubuntu [19:52] thanks [19:52] Haraken: sql is 14.14 [19:52] zoite it's called 7zip [19:52] hidnshadows: What are you ultimately trying to do or what does your setup look like? [19:52] gsfai, you dont happen to have a gparted live cd/usb do you? [19:52] ok [19:52] hidnshadows: you can use samba to share folders in ubuntu, if you install openssh-server you can access files using sftp [19:53] soreau all I want is a way to share files across a local network, accessible to another OS LIKE WINxp [19:53] ! samba | hidnshadows [19:53] hidnshadows: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [19:53] zoite: install unp and you can extract nearly anything [19:53] can 7zip undo a tar.jayz [19:53] denile, nope [19:54] zoite get 7zip, and try renaming the file to [filename].tar.gz, if it can open it it will [19:54] ok thx [19:54] zoite: The built in file-roller application can do that. Just right click and select extract here. Alternatively, via a terminal: tar xzvf file.tar.gz [19:54] zoite: do you mean tar.bzip2 [19:54] sacarlson, any ideas at all about gsfai's issues? === chris_osx is now known as chris_openbsd [19:54] yes sorry [19:54] give up? lol [19:55] hi [19:55] ActionParsnip, i made a mistake in the grub.. after correcting it splash screen worked fine.. thanks for the link [19:55] zoite: you can extract bzip2 already, just run: tar -jxvf filename and it will extract [19:55] my ubuntu 10.10 feels sluggish while moving 1gb+ files around, totem cant play my music without stuttering? [19:55] ok [19:55] abhijeet: np bro, its a great link. I use it on all my systems regardless of video chip these days [19:56] zoite: or if you install unp, you can simply use that and it will see what type of file it is and extract it appropriately [19:56] ¿Cómo puedo instalar WinZip en Ubunto? [19:56] what is unp [19:56] ActionParsnip, that guy is a good hacker :) made our life easier [19:56] ! es | highclasshole [19:56] highclasshole: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [19:56] zoite: you should also installp7zip-rar p7zip-rar rar unrar as well [19:56] I don't speak spanish [19:56] metalfan_: htop, free, iotop to monitor whats wrong. [19:56] abhijeet: i like hacks :) [19:57] there is some problem in channel now? in italian channel of ubuntu redirection is used only in that situation [19:57] ? [19:57] which one is better unp p7zip-rar or p7zip-rar-rar [19:57] leila: Yes. [19:57] zoite: grab them all, they are very small. They will also be used by file roller in nautilus so you can extract more types of archive [19:57] shentino, top says that load is about 4. besides mv which eats 25% percent nothing else takes more than that [19:57] why doesnt maverick desktop have minicom? [19:58] what is nautilus? do i need that too [19:58] hi [19:58] zoite: its the default file manager in ubuntu [19:58] oh k [19:58] i'm looking for some ati channel [19:58] useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later. ????????????????? [19:58] b0nghitter: Its in the repositories. [19:58] Hi. I'd like to make a file that executes a command ("python [name of python file]"). Could anyone point me in the direction of a guide for newbs for doing this? [19:59] b0nghitter: it does, its in the universe repo [19:59] metalfan_: iotop? do you have any other io activity apart of mv? [19:59] b0nghitter: Its in universe repo [19:59] !info minicom [19:59] minicom (source: minicom): friendly menu driven serial communication program. In component universe, is optional.

[20:00] ok i undid my file but i can't run it [20:00] it says ubuntu can run .NET what does this mean [20:00] ActionParsnip: I just add that line to the top of the .pyw file? [20:00] nostro_: sure, depends on the hardware [20:00] metalfan_: do you move between devices/partitions? [20:01] shcherbak, between devices [20:01] ActionParsnip: have you seen it work, I can't seem to find any videos/records of someone actualy doing it [20:01] is there any channel for linux gaming [20:02] forteller: if it's python then add that top line and the interpretter will know its a python script [20:02] ActionParsnip: Ah, yes, it worked. Thanks a lot! :) [20:02] ActionParsnip, Can you suddest any vcahnel on linux gaming? [20:02] metalfan_: that may be problem, either usb, or device itself. It may be also too many mount of same device. [20:03] shcherbak, between two sata drives [20:03] ActionParsnip, Can you sugggest any channel on linux gaming? [20:03] nostro_: it depends on the hardware so 'a video' isnt really precise is it. touchpad on one make/model of system may work wereas it may not work on another make/model === TMKCodes__ is now known as TMKCodes [20:04] bismay: why ask me? [20:04] ActionParsnip: i understand that. but i still haven't seen anyone actually done it. I've seen chromeOS on an iPad, why not ubuntu on a cheap apad? [20:04] Hi. I've got a laptop (Lenovo SL400, if it matters), but I want to plug in a USB keyboard and put it on top of the laptop's built-in keyboard, for easy typing. Do you know if there's any way to disable the built-in keyboard so it doesn't register errant keystrokes while I'm typing on the USB laptop? [20:04] er, on the USB keyboard, [20:04] ActionParsnip, i thought you might know [20:04] not on the USB laptop, obviously. [20:04] metalfan_: check mv "inside" both sata, also if both have more that one partiton, you would check if one of them is much slower, or is it connection. [20:05] i've upgraded to 10.10 and trying to upgrade netbeans - it says missing /usr/share/netbeans/6.9/etc/netbeans.import [20:05] nostro_: check http://ubuntuhcl.org to see if youor particular device is known to work well [20:05] stenoknight: Check the bios? [20:05] bismay, doubt there is a linux-gaming channel, not really an area where linux excels I'm affraid. Best of luck - for instructions on games i have installed see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/gaming [20:05] bismay: list the server channels, and it may show something obvious [20:05] ActionParsnip: thx for the tip [20:05] shcherbak, "check my "inside" both sata ? [20:05] mv [20:05] so I am trying to get ip6 working over my 3g modem, obviously not working, I have no idea on how to attack this problem. Idea anyone? [20:05] ah now it get it [20:06] i checked universe in synaptic repos, and reloaded.. but minicom is still not there [20:06] shcherbak, will disconnect the second drive later... [20:06] pp03gModem: What isnt working about it? [20:06] metalfan_: move file between partition of same hard drive. [20:06] !find minicom [20:06] Found: minicom [20:06] b0nghitter: did you reload your source list after checking universe?

[20:06] KM0201: yes i said i reloaded [20:06] ActionParsnip, what is the command to list all the channels? [20:06] metalfan_: or use usb-drive and compare times of copy to sata1 and sata2 [20:07] hello people [20:07] b0nghitter: then you did something else wrong.. cuz its there [20:07] pp03gModem: Maybe try #networking [20:07] any script i can setup cpu fan rpms [20:07] gsfai: I read this article that sounded like yours that seems they worked on for a year, the fix was install a different operating system http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=5tsip3umr7q02aq700ij1rm531&topic=65388.30, so maybe try an older ubuntu and see if it persists [20:07] bismay: not sure, your client should have a list channels ability [20:07] i had to restart synaptic [20:07] soreau: kk, thnx. [20:07] wizardslovak: no settings in bios for what you need? [20:08] VCoolio, not for fan speed [20:08] bismay: you do not want to list +5k channels, do you? check freenode web site [20:08] i did disables cool and quiet [20:09] hey. glxgears shows me a refresh rate of ~60 with NVIDIAs proprietary drivers, while i have a framerate of ~400 with the nouveau driver. is a framerate of ~60 normal? [20:09] wizardslovak: it can depend on the exact make/model/motherboard of your system. [20:09] is there a way i can VNC into my current desktop without having to create a new "display" ? [20:09] Incarus: glxgears is not a benchmark of any kind [20:09] sacarlson, ill try this :) thanks [20:09] hi everyone, is there any dwm user, I wanna know where one have to put dwm scripts (like the monitors' script to display the battery state on the dwm bar for example) ? [20:09] Incarus: could be vsync is enabled. (or whatever that sync to refresh rate is called) [20:10] Dr_Willis_, if ill post it here can u helkp me? [20:10] Incarus: wow 400, I should dump my propraitary nvidia then? [20:10] wizardslovak: all i can say is check the forums. [20:10] when i check it runs at 1300 rpm but is able of 4k [20:10] i checked [20:10] Dr_Willis_: correct [20:10] Incarus: what video chip? [20:10] they got for windows so i am sure there is one for ubuntu [20:10] gsfai: seem we looked at everything, maybe it's a kernel bug? [20:10] Incarus: so with sync enabled. that would limit the fps. [20:10] ActionParsnip, Nvidia GT220 [20:11] Incarus: and what version of the driver did you install? [20:11] wizardslovak: see if this helps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_speed_control [20:11] Dr_Willis_, without any effects on me? [20:12] ActionPArsnip, latest. 260.19.29 [20:12] Incarus: the point of vsyncing is to reduce video tearing/artifcats i belive [20:13] hi there, I seem to have lost my sound icon on the task bar, any help how to get it back? [20:13] VCoolio, yea i tried that one [20:13] incarus: if it means anything standard NTSC video is 60 fps, so I guess it's fast enuf [20:14] Incarus: 'sync to vblank' is the setting in the nvida settings tool i am thinking of. [20:14] in /usr/sbin/fancontrol u cant actually settup rpms tho [20:14] Incarus: Basically it looks like vsync is enabled with the proprietary driver which means the framerate should e roughly that of the refresh rate. Without vsync, the fps is unlimited but you could see more tearing [20:14] hi there, I seem to have lost my sound icon on the task bar, any help how to get it back? [20:14] does ubuntu have tools to determine the health of an SSD? [20:15] wizardslovak: read on, it says to use pwmconfig to edit /etc/fancontrol, never did that myself though [20:15] Does Ubuntu have Ruby preinstalled? [20:15] Incarus: Instead of looking at glxgears, try a real world test like a 3D game [20:15] Or has this been proposed? [20:15] If this proposal has been raised before, why has it been turned down? [20:15] KaiForce: if it was a smart drive I guess it could [20:15] zs1otb: Add notification area to gnome-panel [20:15] Spreadsheet: seems installed here.. i dont recall installing it.. but it may have gotten pulled in by somthing else. [20:16] Spreadsheet: buiggest reason stuff not isntaled by default = Limited size of a cdrom. [20:16] soreau, thats all i wanted to know, was just uncertain about the high framerate with nouveau. Nouveu use partially software rendering, so that frame rate wouldnt be so high. [20:16] Oh come on Ruby can't be that much space :P [20:16] You have Perl and Python already [20:17] soreau: I've done it but still no little speaker icon? [20:17] sacarlson: i tried smart but it didn't seem to understand the output from the drive [20:17] Spreadsheet: dosent matter.. the cd's are packed full as it is.. [20:17] Incarus: nouveau has some paths that are not accelerated but I doubt glxgears hits any of them. glxgears is more of a sanity test like mesa-demo apps [20:17] I see [20:17] I've got two sound cards... where to i tell my pc to which the audio signal shall go? (xubuntu) [20:17] KaiForce: not all drives have smart support [20:17] Spreadsheet: and many system tools use perl and python. ive not seen any that use ruby [20:17] Dr_Willis_: because it's not as widespread because it's not installed by default [20:18] Spreadsheet: doubtfull.. its trivial to install later also. [20:18] soreau. yep, thank you. [20:18] soreau: It was there just before I restarted my machine and now it is gone.... [20:19] zs1otb: Try restarting your panel? [20:19] ok now i am stupid how do I restart the panel? [20:19] gsfai, what's in ~/.gvfs/ ? [20:19] denile: fuck you ;) [20:19] ! resetpanel | zs1otb [20:19] zs1otb: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [20:19] thanks for asking; u beat me to asking about starting the panel. Seriously [20:19] ! language | dagni [20:19] dagni: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [20:20] sacarlson: understood but would smart say "no smart support" or something like that or would it output something anyway? [20:20] zs1otb, did you remove Pulse Audio from your system? That's one way to get rid of that icon. [20:20] sorry dagni have we had a conversation or something? [20:20] soreau: fuck [20:20] you ;D [20:20] ! ops | dagni [20:20] dagni: Help! Channel emergency!

[20:21] Dr_Willis_, i wasn't "suggesting" it! Only enquiring if the poster had. [20:21] dagni: go somewhere else.. its not a support question. [20:21] ZykoticK9: :) [20:21] so is Anybody: it imosible to get ubuntu music store to work in 9.10 [20:21] denile, i also have a new bug [20:21] called dangi [20:22] how can i send it in /dev/null? [20:22] Jordan_U: thanks === npoBaJl is now known as npoBaJl-away [20:22] denile, anyway, nothing in .gvfs [20:22] Guest541: the people in #ubuntuone may know. The music store copies the music to your ubuntu one account i thought. You can then access/download it from any os i think. [20:22] can anyone explain me a regular expression placeholder in gedit snippet? [20:22] actually, there is no such folder, [20:22] http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins/Snippets [20:23] no one knows where I have to put DWM scripts (for example monitors' script to show my battery state, or time/date...) [20:23] ? [20:24] zs1otb: Please keep it in here [20:24] ok [20:24] rooisto47: you checked the dwm docs/homepage? [20:25] !info dwm [20:25] dwm (source: dwm): dynamic window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.8.2-1 (maverick), package size 41 kB, installed size 180 kB [20:25] Heya. I was in here a few minutes ago, asking how to disable my laptop's keyboard so I could put a USB keyboard on top of it without accidentally registering keystrokes from the built-in keyboard. Someone suggested trying to disable it in BIOS, but unfortunately the only keyboard options there have to do with Numlock and Function lock; nothing about disabling the built-in keyboard. [20:25] I need to test quickly webpages, Is any way to run Apache+php and run sites by 127.0.0.1/~my_dir or I must configure virtualhost to every webpage? [20:25] Just checking back here one more time in case anyone has any other ideas. [20:26] which folder is meant to have libflashplayer.so so that firefox runs flash?? [20:26] Dr_Willis_, yes I checked them you they don't tell where one have to put those scripts ! [20:26] stenoknight: one complex way would be to set teh xorg.conf to read from only one /dev/input/XXX device.. and not both.. but im not even sure how that would be doable. or changeable back very easialy [20:26] I just plugged in an external USB sound card. How to I tell my PC to use that as standard output? [20:26] Dr_Willis_: Yeah, that might be a bit over my head. I'm an Ubuntu n00b. [20:26] I can't get ubuntu-one to syncronize with the cloud server, it says i have no internet connection [20:27] Oh well. Thanks for the thought, though! [20:27] stenoknight: get a bit of plywood. glue some spacers under it.. so it dont touch your keys. :) [20:27] peter, can't you just setup a virtualhost and mount it? [20:27] stenoknight: or i made a 'shelf' that sat right above the keybord on a brokenlaptop. i couls set a keyboard on. [20:27] just a basic suggestion I know. [20:27] hi... === exxtreme is now known as MrKotter [20:27] Dr_Willis_: Hahaha! Unfortunately this needs to be reversible; I want to use a steno-compatible keyboard on the subway, but I need to be able to break it down and put it all away in my backpack afterwards. [20:28] stenoknight: i dont even know what a setno compat keyboard is. :) [20:28] stenoknight: You could still engineer a clever clip shelf [20:28] If there were a laptop that offered n-key rollover, I would pay big, big bucks for it, but such a thing apparently doesn't exist. [20:28] how to open .bin files??? [20:28] The folder under "Places" won't open when clicked. [20:28] grigoriades: you can 'run' one by 'sh whatever.bin' - or chmod +x whatever.bin then ./whage4er.bin [20:28] A steno compatible keyboard is any keyboard with true n-key rollover. I use a Microsoft SideWinder X4, because it only costs $45. http://plover.stenoknight.com/ [20:29] grigoriades: what is this bin supposed to be anyway? [20:29] nicofs, humm, i think you must use aplay 1 sec [20:29] tiyg: I do it now but settings up virtualhost every time for quick tests is non comfortable [20:29] * Dr_Willis_ sticks with his 10lb OLD OLD OLD clicky IBM keyboard. [20:29] I prefer to run directory by 127.0.0.1/~dir_name [20:29] bluezone, that means what exactly? [20:29] ok. been a while since I did site work. [20:30] Clicky is good. ('8 [20:30] I am having problems installing Steam on Wine (on ubuntu 10.10), it is saying that the MSI file I download is not an executable. [20:30] Anyway, thanks, all. I guess I'd better get back to this transcription job. [20:30] nicofs, hmmm [20:30] soapcontainer: check the wine app datbase. you have to give wine some option to run the msi i recall. [20:30] Anyone with more experience than me have any ideas about gsfai's issue? [20:30] soapcontainer: dont just double click on the msi. I dont think that works [20:30] Dr_Willis: will do, thank you === MengXingHun is now known as OOoo [20:30] hey guys, did anyone catch some news on canonical developing a TABLET ubuntu? [20:31] soapcontainer: i always have to go look it up every time i reinstall steam === OOoo is now known as Guest74998 [20:31] nostro_: seen some postings on it.. i will wait for things to get released befor i get excited. [20:32] .. released and tested a gazillion times. [20:32] Dr_Willis_, any idea plz ! [20:32] denile: I wonder how big the disk is? if he dd the entire disk to a file he could send it to us to look at, but at this point I'm out of ideas [20:32] nostro_, sorry waht exactly was your problem with the usb soundcard [20:33] The folders ("home folder," "computer" etc.) under "Places" on the custom menu panel doesn't seem to open. Help? [20:33] sacarlson, Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB lol [20:33] christen: Do you have nautilus installed? [20:33] bluezone: wasn't me asking about he soundcard [20:33] sacarlson: ssh party in gsfai? [20:34] hmm.let me check [20:34] i'm asking about tabletpc support. any news? [20:34] denile: well I do come up with some stupid idea's and that was one of many of them [20:34] anyone know if thier is anything like tortoise svn for Gnome? [20:34] For some reason gnome-terminal has become a defunct process, even though its parent is init. How can I determine what has happened and preferably get rid of the defunct process without rebooting? [20:35] shcherbak: ya I guess that a posibility [20:35] Jordan_U: What have you done to your poor terminal? ;) [20:35] nicofs, oh [20:35] nautilus scripts manager? [20:35] install that? [20:35] nicofs, first of all is your soundcard detected with aplay -l [20:36] denile: I missed the part when he tried to mound /dev/sda5 did that work? [20:36] christen: Open a terminal and type nautilus then press enter and see what happens [20:36] if not whats your favorite gnome svn client [20:36] okay [20:36] nicofs, your usb soundcard that is [20:36] sacarlson, no. he restarted the usb live and still same issues also [20:37] nicofs, are you there? [20:37] okay, it opened the "home folder"? [20:37] what next? [20:37] denile: the issue I know he had was with /dev/sda1 is it also imposible to mount /dev/sda5? [20:37] christen: That means nautilus is installed so the Places entries should work [20:37] okay [20:37] michaelgamble: why not use svn in terminal? [20:38] christen: If not try running killall gnome-panel to restart the panel [20:38] nicofs, i am having a similar issue but ill find the solution, sec [20:38] sacarlson, from his fdisk sda is swap [20:38] sda5* [20:39] I tried to open my folders under the places menu but it still won't open. I'll try running killall gnome panel [20:39] !resetpanel [20:39] christen: thats more likely to be nautilus related [20:39] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » === gryllida is now known as Gryllida === _21h_ is now known as Guest20237 === hlj__ is now known as jalumar [20:40] hola [20:41] hay algun español? === jalumar is now known as Jalumar [20:41] ! es | cheleon [20:41] cheleon: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [20:41] nicofs brought up a good point, how to do you aplay to set a usb sound card as the default audio output [20:41] Okay, I have no idea what I'm doing. [20:41] hint me? [20:41] go into terminal? to download something? [20:41] how and where do I append the ntpasswd image in the line ".linux rescuecd initrd=initram.igz" exactly running a live cd? everything I tried didn't work [20:41] gsfai, swapon -s [20:42] christen, yes, with apt-get [20:42] christen: I dont know why it isnt working.. what did you do that broke it? [20:42] I have no idea. It worked for a while [20:42] when in doubt 'reboot' :) [20:42] denile, done! [20:42] and then one day i went to open my files from the places tab and it just took forever and then never opened. [20:42] =[ [20:42] gsfai, command done? or you fixed it? [20:42] denile, command [20:42] Dr_Willis_ that wasn't for me, was it? [20:42] sadly :P [20:42] gsfai, list nothing? [20:42] christen: you could alwyas try running nautilus from a terminal. [20:43] I have a 1TB (external) hard drive, but it's only reporting 870GB available. I remember reading somewhere some command to make ext not take up a bunch of extra space... anyone know what it is? [20:43] rrreimer: general advice. :) from the windows world. [20:43] says "/dev/sda5 partition 2981988 0 -1" [20:43] Dr_Willis_: I had him run nautilus and it works [20:43] soreau: could be the default file assouication for nautilus got changed. [20:43] Dr_Willis I'm running a _linux_ live cd [20:43] thefinn931, 1 TB does not always mean 1 TB. That sounds about the right size [20:43] Dr_Willis_: He says Places entries do not work [20:44] hello, i have a computer 133Hz and 16MB ram wich linux destribution should i use? [20:44] christen: Try this: Drag a Places entry to your panel, then right click on it and select properties to see what the Command is [20:44] Stefanos90, what do you plan to do with it? [20:44] christen: And run that command in your terminal to make sure it works [20:44] smw: oh ok. thx [20:44] how do you use "aplay" to detect a usb soundcard and set it as a default output source? [20:44] stefano, do some research on xubuntu [20:44] Stefanos90, it certainly will not work as a desktop [20:44] soreau: double clicking on a folder works? [20:45] just open the system.. it has windows 95 inside [20:45] Dr_Willis_: You would have to ask him [20:45] it says I should type in ntpasswd and push enter, but then I come back to the default boot page [20:45] Stefanos90, I think DSL and the smaller ones need at least 64MB. [20:45] gsfai, swapoff -a [20:45] it's for older machines(xubuntu) [20:45] denile, done! [20:45] gsfai, then try e2fsck just for giggles on /dev/sda1 [20:46] i can use live cd.. won't puppy run? [20:46] filesystem exclusively opened by another program [20:46] arg [20:46] Stefanos90, I do not know about puppy. DSL-N should work [20:46] is ubuntu's usb startup disk creator able to work with any disk image, or just those based on ubuntu? I'm trying to write a fedora disk image but the program won't recognize the iso, but will recognize kubuntu or the netbook remix of ubuntu [20:46] can I run Openvpn-as (openvpn active server) from Ubuntu 10.10 desktop? [20:46] gsfai, go ahead and swapon -a so you back where you where [20:46] hariykeyboard, just ubuntu i believe [20:47] hariykeyboard: Try unetbootin. [20:47] hariykeyboard: should work with any linux ISO [20:47] will try [20:47] Stefanos90: for small ram machines you may use either tinycore (should run on 32M with X) or OpenWRT (console works from 4M) [20:47] hariykeyboard: unetbootin can also use different disto ISOs [20:48] dean [20:48] Stefanos90, I guess DSL would work. You just can't use X === dean is now known as Guest23489 [20:48] Stefanos90: theres tiny-core-linux also [20:48] Stefanos90: puppy needs some 256M to run smoothly [20:48] hiii [20:48] i dont think this works... [20:48] how do you use "aplay" to detect a usb soundcard and set it as a default output source? [20:49] Stefanos90, all cmd line. You would have more options if you doubled your ram (32MB). [20:49] gsfai: I just went back in history here on this irc page to 01:41:28 AM and didn't see if you could mount /dev/sda5, can you? [20:49] how would you mount a swap? [20:49] Stefanos90: with 16M your best bet is tinycore. [20:50] gsfai: you use the swapon command.. not mounting it.. [20:50] gsfai: ok maybe that's why I didn't see it [20:50] Hello [20:50] Dr_Willis_, i know, but thanks :) [20:50] I need some help with my ubuntu installation. [20:50] will try tiny-core-linux if i found some more ram will use dsl [20:50] Mo___, describe your problem/question [20:51] ok [20:51] Stefanos90: you can always make a swap partition. [20:51] 1 second late [20:51] i am trying to upgarade from 10.04 to 10.10 but getting this error "W:Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.qualitynet.net/ubuntu/dists/maverick/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2)" [20:51] yes.. i have 1 GB hdd [20:52] gsfai, what does file -sL /dev/sda1 show [20:52] hello guys, i want to create a energy saving system. I want to create a raid5 for my videopartition. But i am not sure which raid level i should use for my system partiotions. I think i should not have a raid for the logs to let the hdd's sleep as long as possible.... [20:52] Stefanos90: so make a 256mb swap perhaps. [20:52] yes now downloading. thank you for help === vipul is now known as bihari [20:54] Is there anything else I should install/update for other than nautilus for the problem with not being able to open my folders from the places tab?

It won't do anything once I press forward! [20:55] Sawerpower99: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [20:56] hello man [20:56] Sawerpower99: When you booted that disk, did you do an image check?

[20:56] this might be a silly question but Im stuck right now :( I made a script in python and run it but it went into an infinite loop because i made a mistake in a variable but I do not know how to stop the execution from terminal.
