[00:00] infid, if you have a netbook - i'd highly recommend it [00:00] heck even for laptops i would [00:00] oh. yeah, you need to be identified to join ##php, huh. [00:00] infid: the gnome panel in the netbook is locked but you can boot to the normal desktop, then dress it like the netbook remix for more control [00:00] !register | rgb247 [00:00] iNdO: Hi. Do you have an Ubuntu support question? [00:00] rgb247: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [00:00] Mackbet: googleearth is available in the partner repository [00:00] !googleearth [00:00] Google Earth is available as the package "googleearth-package" in !Multiverse. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [00:00] PhonicUK: i have a netbook and i have an old UNR install on it that i can barely stand because it forces me to use the lame menu thing, forget what it's calle. not the normal applications/places/system menu [00:00] hey all, when rebooting our LTS server, mysql does not restart ... Anyone know where to start to figure out why it doesn't work? [00:00] thanks you [00:00] Mackbet: see above [00:00] mongy: LXDE ftw :) [00:00] thx thx [00:01] So I'm trying to configure networking for a virtual machine. I'd like to have one interface that is bridged and connects to the outside world and a host-only interface that only communicates with the host machine. How do I tell Ubuntu to use the first interface when trying to communicate with the outside world and not the host-only interface? [00:01] aeon-ltd, I did that, but know my Gnome Theme seems to be bugged. [00:01] infid, I never tried UNR - but I like what I'm using now :) [00:01] Jacruth: explain more [00:01] trelayne: what happens when you type /etc/init.d/mysql start [00:01] well, for example, my windows does not have X, aeon-ltd [00:01] also, they can't move [00:01] rww, no thanks [00:01] but they can be minimizied [00:01] PhonicUK: er, you just installed ubuntu normally on it? [00:01] trelayne: with sudo [00:01] Jacruth: ok, press alt-f2, then type 'compiz --replace' then enter [00:01] iNdO: Alrighty. This channel's for Ubuntu support, so please keep nonsense out of it. [00:01] GeekSquid, it works [00:02] GeekSquid, it tells me that the script has been changed to work with upstart [00:02] trelayne: i still do things the old way [00:02] infid, No I installed the new netbook version on it [00:02] does the alternate disc allow you to install more packages? === xxx is now known as Guest55866 [00:03] why do people type /etc/init.d/foo instead of 'service foo' [00:03] infid, this one : http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download [00:03] PhonicUK: i see, so the new one isnt called UNR? [00:03] infid: because 'service' is relatively new [00:03] infid, correct [00:03] its now Ubuntu Netbook Edition [00:03] cool! [00:03] i'll have to try that thanks [00:03] infid: like I said I still foo the old way [00:03] GeekSquid, I know me too.. The thing is that when I reboot, mysql's down by default. I always issue the above command to get it going. But something is not work... my client's site was down for many hours because of this problem.. [00:03] no worries [00:03] mongy, ok lottanzb downloading my files now, whats a good utility that can handle all archives typically, such as rar files, that come as .r01, .r02, .rar, etc....and need something to handle parity files, is quickpar out for linux, or whats a good linux equivalent? with gui integration === coaboa is now known as coaboa||away [00:04] ive been using it on my Eee 701 and will be using it on my HP Mini when it arrives [00:04] ccvp, er rar === dnivra is now known as Guest79178 [00:04] GeekSquid: old habits die hard [00:04] GeekSquid, someting I did not notice was that the rcX/ scripts were not in place... so I ran a command to regenerate them... but still .. not working [00:04] ccvp: fileroller can handle rar files once you install rar unrar p7zip-full and p7zip-rar [00:04] ccvp, it handles parity itself I think. [00:04] i still type 'sudo shutdown -r now' to reboot [00:04] fileroller has par integration? [00:04] par2, etc, parity files [00:04] ccvp, pretty sure... ninan needs par2 package but I dont think lotta does [00:05] ccvp: i believe so, install the packages and it should be ok [00:05] sometimes onwin7 when i d/l rar files, they are corrupt, but i ran quickpar [00:05] and it rebuilt the bad archives [00:05] what app in linux can do that [00:05] trelayne: perhaps backup your mysql databases, and reinstall mysql to get everything back where it should be [00:06] what i was saying yesterday is how funny it is that coworkers and friends used to call me a dinosaur for using linux and now they are all on the bandwagon [00:06] ccvp, lotta, like ninan, only gets pars when needed, and auto repairs/extracts [00:06] On google site there is a downloadable version of google earth i downloaded it and can't install it and i allowed the file to be run as executable, how should i act to make it run? [00:06] i thank ubuntu mostly for that [00:06] GeekSquid, ok will try that .. I was trying to avoid but what can I do [00:06] ahhhhh, http://parchive.sourceforge.net/ [00:06] Mackbet: ./nameoffileandpath [00:06] same guy that made quickpar [00:06] ccvp, you dont need it [00:06] ok [00:06] lottanzab takes care of all this? [00:06] if they are bad etc? [00:06] ccvp, yes. there is a par2 in the repo anyway.... [00:07] yes [00:07] the interface to lottanzb is minimalist [00:07] ccvp: please stop flooding... you are very heavy with the enter key, please write your responses all on one line so my page isn't moving a mile a minuite [00:07] only gets pars if damaged, repairs and extracts. [00:07] squid of the geek, did you minimize your window to 80pixels by 80pixels, a square? :) [00:07] ccvp, well there is a web ui [00:07] how come still after disabling nautilus i can't change add interact with my desktop.. :S [00:08] web ui? [00:08] ccvp, if using it with sabnzb [00:08] Mackbet: chmod +x filenameyoudownloaded [00:08] i just spawned a nzb i downloaded, and ubuntu auto ran lottanzb, so whts this web interface u speak of? [00:08] setup.data/setup.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty [00:08] setup.data/setup.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found [00:08] Impossibile caricare 'setup.data/setup.xml' [00:08] ccvp, its a little like ninan... [00:08] got this errors [00:08] Mackbet: google-eacrth is available in the medibuntu repo [00:09] can I get nano to do automatic carriage returns? [00:09] ccvp, File - open web interface [00:09] <_00111111> Why do niggers exist? [00:09] neat interface [00:10] ccvp, you can tell it to not auto repair/extract etc, its in the prefs. [00:10] so that I can write a paragraph instead of a single line that is 20 miles long [00:10] if it can auto repair, before extraction, ill use that, that is good [00:10] Mackbet: download this https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/direct/google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb ... does not need to be executible ... and will install with sudo dpkg -i google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb [00:10] ccvp, it cant extract till par check is complete... [00:10] how come still after disabling nautilus i can't change add interact with my desktop.. :S [00:10] ccvp, incomplete par check = get pars === tomoyat1 is now known as tomoyat2 === tomoyat2 is now known as tomoyat1 [00:11] brb, gonna check if this webserver works on the hdtv/xbox 360 [00:11] ps3media center on ubuntu earlier streamed a few movies flawlessly to my ipad [00:11] aimio: nautilus is an important part of both gnome an unity(unr) you actually need it [00:12] GeekSquid, but i can't add anything to my desktop or interact with it :S === grid__ is now known as grid_ [00:12] aimio: Ctrl-alt-f1 ... login .. sudo apt-get install nautilus [00:12] happy new year === L is now known as Guest52922 [00:13] GeekSquid, i have nautilus left, and it's active right now. [00:13] is shown in Application>internet>googleearth but don't start [00:14] what does it mean in synaptic package manager when you have a grey square with a ! in the middle beside the package? [00:15] Thx GeekSquid google earth is installed but don't launch [00:16] Dwade09: that means it is installed, but there is a newer version available in your repository [00:16] GeekSquid, so i just check them all and hit apply? [00:16] Mackbet: yeah, I noticed, doesn't work here either [00:17] Dwade09: the Mark All Upgrades will do the same thing, as will the Update Manager, same animal, different training [00:17] GeekSquid: There is a stable working version of google earth for ubuntu 10.10? [00:18] Mackbet: let me get it working here, and I will instruct you [00:18] GeekSquid, how do i exit x11 shell, beacuse i tried to login, can' [00:18] can't for some reason :s [00:18] GeekSquid: oh nice [00:19] mackbet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [00:19] type exit [00:19] login incorrect :P [00:20] aimio Ctrl-alt-f7 [00:20] yeah i know [00:20] :) [00:20] how come i could not login :S [00:21] hey all.. i'm thinkin' about different options for installing windows to run with my ubuntu.. i've got a laptop with two hard drives, has anybody heard of someone installing ubuntu to one hdd and windows on the other??? [00:21] is it not same login as when i login on my desktop :S [00:21] swim_: yes [00:21] hmm [00:21] strange [00:21] swim_: whatever boots first, just has to have grub entry to boot the other hdd [00:21] swim_ just installubuntu in one and windows leave in another [00:21] allmust work [00:22] hey how do I get hdmi audio output to work [00:22] Mackbet: the one from the multiverse repository works... I have it loaded, so, System>Admin>software sources ... checkbox universe and multiverse selected ... then reload in synaptic, then install googleearth [00:22] okay.. so, i've got ubuntu installed already to sda1.. i will have to do something to grub to show windows on sda2??? [00:23] swim_ need reload grub [00:23] thank you GeekSquid but there was no mark all upgrade i had to do it by hand. [00:23] reinstall grub [00:23] Anyone know of an auto-text completion tool that would play nice in Ubuntu? [00:23] Dwade09: there is a button on the top of synaptic ... look again [00:24] GeekSquid, i see reload apply properties quick search and search. [00:25] hello friends [00:26] how many partitions can a drive have? [00:26] Dwade09: I have no Idea... I just checked on 2 versions and it is there [00:26] keith-: 4 === ng_ is now known as NG_ [00:26] keith 4 primary partitions [00:26] DreamsAreGrand: (in Cable Guy voice) Am i really your friend? [00:26] keith-: 4 primary .. more if you use an extended partition [00:26] keith-: 100212 [00:26] thanks GeekSquid ill mess with it in a bit [00:27] hiya, grub2 question here.. [00:27] !ask | arvut [00:27] arvut: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:27] GeekSquid: so if i have a lappy that came with 4 beforehand for win7 and backup utility... not much i can do then? [00:27] DysonReturns: everyone is my friend [00:27] Can you build eveyting on your ubnutu system from source, like in gentoo? [00:27] keith-: 4 primary partitions (including 1 extended partition, if you want it). Unlimited logical partitions within an extended partition. [00:28] patience, GeekSquid i know the rules. i wasnt asking. just preparing it [00:28] I just setup arno's ip tables FW.... but now I cannot see my server on the windows computers in my network. Is there somebody with some experience on this topic that could maybe help me out? Cheers! [00:28] btw hello people!! [00:28] keith-: unless you want to delete win7? no [00:28] DreamsAreGrand, yes you can, faster from deb :) [00:29] GeekSquid: yeah don't want to do that yet. [00:29] mongy: you still here? [00:29] kcorcoran, somewhat [00:29] f10d0r: why do you say faster? [00:29] keith-: got a usb harddrive laying around? [00:29] anyway, if i have a winxp install on sda1 and ubuntu on sdb1, 2 and 5.. where do i reinstall grub2? [00:29] GeekSquid, is it metacity or nautilus i'm suppose to change something to get a normal desktop.. "i want to interact".. [00:29] DreamsAreGrand: you can use apt-build if you like, its similar to emerge [00:30] mongy: i am on the 3rd atep and received a "cannot access createMYSQLDB.sh: no such file or directory" error - i assume i need to load mysql? [00:30] DreamsAreGrand, because you can install just by command apt-get install or dpkg -i you don't need compile :) [00:30] aimio: not really sure what you mean or what you have done, and I am not about to "fix" a borked system, ... best bet: install with the desktop install disk as opposed to unr [00:31] kcorcoran, ignore that step [00:31] GeekSquid: The result that i got seems to be different from your point of view idk i don't find what you expect to [00:31] GeekSquid, it's a simple question notting is broken, i just cant put any icons etc on the desktop. or so on.. [00:32] aimio: you are still in UNR, or gnome? [00:32] ubuntu-desktop. [00:32] gnome*. [00:32] kcorcoran, that file does not exist no more I think [00:32] this may seem like a stuipd question, but while I run apt-get install, and my system downloads a package, sometimes it will freeze up (due to my network conditions) and I have to ctrl+c each time to make the download start again. Is there anyway I can automate this behivaor? [00:32] aimio: sounds borked to me [00:33] hey I am trying to get hdmi audio output working on my bros laptop [00:33] video works but audio does not [00:33] GeekSquid, it ain [00:33] t [00:33] Red_Tide: sudo alsamixer [00:33] I have a lot of files with dates in the file names. Is there a way to remove all of the dates from the file names? [00:33] az [00:34] GeekSquid: i have ubuntu 10.10 italian verision does it change the result that i get on synaptic package menager? [00:34] DreamsAreGrand, maybe you need for this: sudo apt-get install -f [00:34] GeekSquid: do I have to be root? [00:34] does GRUB require a specific partition type, if I want to put the /boot/grub/* stuff on a different partition? [00:34] Mackbet: I know nothing of the italian version.. can't help there [00:34] Xpistos: if they are in the same place (as in characters) then a batch renamer can do it [00:34] Red_Tide: sudo makes you root [00:35] yeah I know do I have to run alsamixer as root thought? [00:35] the issue is I do not know my bros password [00:35] Red_Tide: you can try it without, some systems are different [00:36] does anyone know how to include a .pl (perl) script into a php file? [00:36] !register [00:36] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [00:36] I can access alsamixer without root permissions [00:36] my worry is that maybe this is what is causing the problem [00:37] Red_Tide: so see what you can change in terms of output ... it worked yesterday for somebody else [00:38] hey guys. Due to my network, while running apt-get install, the download will stall out. I have to press ctrl+c each time to reset it and make it download again. Is there anyway I can automate this? [00:38] also if I run a ping in the background, the downloads won't stall [00:38] superfatass: are you connecting wired or wirelessly? [00:38] ActionParsnip: wireless [00:39] superfatass: which wireless cip are you using? [00:39] cip? [00:39] *chip [00:39] I hate the ubuntu documentation [00:39] i really do [00:39] shaggy2: that question isn't approiate for this channel, perhaps ask in ##php or ##php5 ... technically php is the perl hypertext preprocessor, so I don't see an issue with what you just said [00:39] PhonicUK: most is in wiki form so you can update it [00:39] yeah i know [00:39] I'm a Ubuntu beginner. I booted the CD-ROM and came to a login prompt. Is there a default login ID and password I need to enter? [00:39] PhonicUK: so instead of moaning which does nothing, make changes [00:39] ActionParsnip: actually I am connected to a router that is using dd-wrt to use client mode to connect to another wifi network [00:40] I plan to :P [00:40] kcorcoran, getting on ok? [00:40] point is that Canonical should be updating the important stuff [00:40] happy new year everyone [00:40] mongy: i have created the nohop.desktop file and saved to my desktop. i tried the chmod command and it states no such file or access. i can see the file on my desktop? [00:40] PhonicUK: they do, but you should too. problem solved :) [00:40] PhonicUK: User documentation is almost entirely volunteer-driven. [00:41] kcorcoran, again, that file no longer exists [00:41] superfatass: i'd look into your wireless chip, see if there are any bugs logged or fixes, sounds like the interface has issues with dead time (as the ping makes it ok) [00:41] GeekSquid: sorry I typed into the wrong channel I was meaning to type it into the PHPFreaks help chan. opps mybad, I really should goto bed been playing with this server for 34 hours, now have it fullyworking once again thanks for all your help everyone [00:41] shaggy2: no problem, get some rest, and happy new year [00:42] I have two users on my computer and we can call them user1 and user2, how can i do so user1 have full permisions in user2:s home dir? [00:42] thanks u 2 [00:42] kcorcoran, its based on an old version, so some things might be different/not there [00:42] ActionParsnip: Its a buffalo wireless router running DD-wrt, a version of linux [00:43] superfatass: the router is moot right now, you need the wireless chip in the system. [00:43] mongy: okay, when i ran the launcher and browsed to the page "unable t connect" it would appear it didn't launch [00:43] superfatass: i'm aware of dd-wrt [00:43] traceto: if user1 is the administrator, you can use gksudo nautilus to access user2's home [00:43] Hi. I've using virt-manager with KVM. I just paused my VM. Will it still be paused in that state after I reboot my host, or do I have to save it? [00:44] *I'm [00:44] kcorcoran, try it from shell, and paste output [00:45] GeekSquid: I know... But i don't have any graphical environment on the machin.... [00:45] ActionParsnip: so should I check dd-wrt's log files? [00:45] aeon-ltd: it is in several different folders [00:45] traceto: well sudo will get you into the directory sudo cd ~/user2 [00:45] I'm an Ubuntu beginner. I booted the CD-ROM and came to a login prompt. Is there a default login ID and password I need to enter? [00:45] superfatass: worth a look, also run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line for the wireless to see if its a known issue with the chip [00:45] GeekSquid: so sudo is the only way? [00:46] BigNig8846: press CTRL+ALT+F2 and run: passwd ubuntu set the pass then press CTRL+ALT+F7 and log in [00:46] how do I ignore joins/quits in irssi? "/ignore JOINS" & "/ignore QUITS" doesn't seem to work :( [00:46] I want to delete (Vol.####) and (#### Series) from like 10,000 file names [00:46] traceto: not the only way, but easier than the workarounds [00:46] arvut: its not a cmd [00:46] Hey, is this the proper place to ask for ubuntu support questions? [00:46] GeekSquid: hmm... okey, how works the workarounds? :p [00:46] well im sure it is, but in gui its in the settings somewhere [00:47] traceto, add user1 to user2's group bu running and then [00:47] hmm.. thought it was, i'm sure its something like it as i have done it before.. [00:47] Xpistos: but the dates in the filenames are in the same format for all? [00:47] Xpistos: i'd ask in #bash it can be done [00:47] arvut, irc conf mode === adrian is now known as Guest8953 [00:47] Guest8953: yes this is the official ubuntu support channel [00:47] this irc channel is a blessing. guys, ive downloaded the falling sand game.. how to launch it,? [00:47] traceto, I did forget you have to sudo both commands [00:48] aeon-ltd: Roughly they are (Vol.####) and (#### Series) but the year ranges from 1938 - 2011 [00:48] Guest96010: yes [00:48] aeon-ltd: But yes the format is the same [00:48] great [00:48] NixGeek: okey, but if i add user1 to user2's group way i need to chmod the folder? [00:48] Guest8953: falling sand? can you elaborate? [00:48] well I just installed ubuntu fresh on my computer, now I also want to put windows 7 on it just to be safe. So what is better - dual boot or virtualization with VMware? [00:49] Oh and I am a noob :) [00:49] Guest96010: that really depends on why you need Windows.. if you're a gamer, dual boot [00:49] traceto, because the group only has access to the files unless you chmod it to allow read write and executre [00:49] not really, just to run some programs which run on windows, thatz all [00:49] traceto: setting group permissions on the home folder of user2 to admin [00:49] its called the powder toy, really small [00:49] Guest96010: depends on what you need windows for... [00:49] kcorcoran, need me to run thru it with it? [00:50] Xpistos: then a script can be written, ask in bash, it'll probably a chain of something like mv filenamedate.* filename* [00:50] Guest96010: then virtualize, you can run them in seamless mode too (looks better) [00:50] well, I just need it to run some programs which I can't on Ubuntu yet, so not too much excessive use [00:50] hello, everyone. Having some trouble signing the code of conduct . After I enter the command into the terminal and get the file, I get this error message when I try to open the signed file. "There is no application installed for PGP/MIME-encrypted message header files". [00:50] Guest96010: powertoy is fairly small if i recall.. so you should probably be ok on Windows... really as long as you're not using anything w/ heavy 3D, you'l probalby have good luck w/ a virtual install, i know i have [00:50] Guest96010: virtualbox might be a better option than VMware [00:50] Guest96010: you will be running both OSes at the same time so will chew your CPU / RAM a bit more but if its a rare occurrence I'd say go for it [00:50] mongy: if you have the time, that'd be great!! [00:51] NixGeek: okey :) but if I create some files with user1 in user2's home dir have user2 permission to the file then? [00:51] ok [00:51] great, how do I go about it, first I need to grab the torrent for windows online, but I am lost, what is the ubuntu alternative for utorrent? [00:51] Guest96010: i agree w/ GeekSquid .. Vbox is quite a bit easier to set up than vmware (IMO) [00:51] * skraito say hi all [00:51] Guest96010: I'll pretend you didn't tell us what you're downloading. Use deluge. [00:51] gonna ask again then, where should grub2 be reinstalled if i have windows xp on sda1 and ubuntu on sdb1, 2 & 5? at the moment only windows boots as i had to repair it using the rescue cd. mbr is on sda, right? [00:51] Guest96010: transmission, its already installed... application/internet/transmission [00:51] alright, I'll get to that in a bit, first I need the windows torrent and need to burn that image on to a CD [00:51] Guest96010: ubuntu comes with transmission by default [00:51] SO where do I start from [00:51] Transmission's good too. [00:52] Guest96010: you'll need to install virtualbox-ose in ubuntu then use a legal install media and valid license and you can install windows [00:52] Guest96010: virtualbox will load the windows.iso directly, you don't need to burn it [00:52] LinusT: it may not be illegal.. he could be downloading an ISO, and using his windows key.. i've actually repaired computers w/ fubar'd restore partitions, many times like this. [00:52] but.... then again [00:52] lol [00:52] I just want to be sure, so that i dont screw it up even further and require a full reinstall.. [00:52] or install virtualbox from the Virtualbox site if you dont care about the OSE issues and want USB support etc [00:53] Guest96010: yup, just boot the ISO, no need ot burn it. [00:53] KM0201: Marginal cases are the refuge of the scoundrel. (...said LinusT the TrueCrypt user!) [00:53] LinusT: :) [00:53] well, itz downloading right now, so I'll have to wait for a bit before installing [00:54] Does it have to be a legit copy to run on VBox? [00:54] I'm loving how snappy my VMs are with Intel VT features. [00:54] Guest96010: to discuss it here it does.. :) [00:54] Hello, I running ssh on one of my machines and i have only one user with i weak password.... What is the most secure and best way to connect to the machine? create a new user with a strong password then only let that user connect to the machine? or can I find better ways? [00:54] traceto, yes, you will, but there aren't many elegant solutions unless you log in as the user. you could use to log in to user2's account from the command line, but then you don't have graphics. for me this wouldn't a be a problem, but or you it might be. [00:54] Ah ok [00:54] got it [00:54] so i have an issue. i really would like to install ubuntu netbook edition. however, i am fairly certain the ati opensource drivers are locking up my system at random times. i resized and formatted my hdd but i cant keep it going long enough to actually install [00:54] Guest96010: utorrent works under ubuntu too iirc. pirated software is forbidden to discuss here and please choose a nick ;) [00:55] right I'll get to that [00:55] furthermore, when i used to use linux, i used the proprietary driver to get around this. i can't do that with a live disk [00:55] Guest96010: send me a PM when you get a minute... [00:55] keith-: then install the closed source driver === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:55] keith-: ooh, see [00:55] keith-, I've never had a problem with the open source drives, it's the proprietary (that I have to use for dual monitors) that gives me problems [00:55] keith-: so you don't get a working live environment long enough to be able to install? [00:55] keith-: you could blacklist the driver and use vesa til you work out whats what [00:56] daftykins: right. [00:56] ActionParsnip: sounds great. how can i do that on a usb disk without saving capabilities... [00:56] hmm wonder if there's a way to boot with no X through a boot entry [00:56] +edit [00:57] i would use the alternate cd, but there isn't one for the netbook remix. [00:57] keith-: ridiculous idea, can you keep hitting ctrl+alt+f1 and stop X? :D [00:57] keith-, a non-graphical install might work. [00:57] keith-: use minimal then and install ubuntu-netbook & propietary driver [00:57] keith-: you should be able to just install the package for netbook remix through an install image as NixGeek suggests, text installer route [00:57] arvut: microsoft doesn't mind if you download their software, just so long as you have legit licences ... and most of us do ... we buy a computer with win7 on it, it didn't come with disks, so we download a copy and use the key that came with the machine... [00:57] guess i'll do that then [00:57] thanks guys. [00:58] good luck! [00:58] ok somthing OT i know but not really... i can't join here on my empathy ... it keeps going to unregged part? is that normal? [00:58] My apt has been on update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-24-generic for over an hour, is it suppose to be like that?? [00:58] i am having trouble getting ubuntu 10.10 to recognize my second monitor with nvidia-settings [00:58] sutabi: what speed CPU / type / speed HDD and how much RAM? [00:59] is ubottu vacationing?

[01:00] Hey people! =D I'm new to ubuntu/linux and I have a few questions... [01:00] Da_Rhyno: ask away [01:00] CP-Knox: Hi. You have a script that issues CTCP requests in response to the !ping trigger. Talking scripts are banned on this channel (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines ); please disable it and let me know when you've done so. [01:01] ActionParsnip: 3.6Ghz / AMD Athlon II X3 445 / 3.6 GB Memory / 1TB Hard Drive however its virtually sittong at zero CPU === Guest96010 is now known as junius_lt [01:02] GeekSquid: it only shows the primary monitor and detect displays does not help either :( [01:02] How do I mount a cdrfs cdrom [01:02] One question is I am using a standard laptop (not a netbook). Should I use the Desktop Ubuntu download or the netbook download? Also, I want to do a dual boot with my current OS (Windows 7), so I guess I'm supposed to download the Windows installer for it, right? And how safe is it to dual-boot Ubuntu with Windows? [01:03] Da_Rhyno: i wouldn't recommend WUBI, download a CD image and burn a CD, or put it on a flash drive with 'unetbootin' [01:03] hellhound: is there a display plugged into the port? if not it won't detect [01:03] Da_Rhyno: Windows installer makes Ubuntu work in windows so it never touches your Hard Drive partitions [01:04] @ Da_Rhyno nevertheless another standard recommendation: backup your windows partition. [01:04] I just did a backup of my HD, just in case. [01:04] ;) [01:04] GeekSquid: yes both monitors are connected and powered up. I have two GeForce 8600GT cards and each monitor is connected to the DVI port [01:05] So the Windows Installer doesn't really install the OS to my system, it just installs a Windows program which emulates a system with Ubuntu, right? [01:05] Da_Rhyno: win7 can resize its own partitions, this will make unpartitioned space you can install ubuntu to and not use wubi [01:05] Da_Rhyno: Then install the ISO from USB or CD, Ubuntu will guide you through reparitioning your windows system so you cvan get both on [01:05] Da_Rhyno: also remember to MD5 test the ISO you download [01:05] Da_Rhyno: Windows installer is not an enumlator but running uder windows file system which is a lot slower then running under its down [01:06] Ah, I see... [01:06] Da_Rhyno: wubi makes a file in your ntfs partition and install ubuntu to that so it will be directly affected by the fragmentation which ntfs is very prone to [01:06] it's more a problem to fix when it inevitably goes wrong :) [01:06] under its down = own, windows uses NTSF, ubuntu uses an array of them likx EXT3 and EXT4 [01:07] Ah, I see... [01:07] Da_Rhyno, just google "wubi troubles" - you'll get a lot of hits [01:07] Thanks! [01:07] how safe is it to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, though? [01:07] Like, what are the chances of me losing my Windows Partition? [01:07] Da_Rhyno: never dual boot [01:08] As safe your hardrive being currupt [01:08] oh well, ill go play some russian roulette with my hdd's then. noone appears to have the answer im looking for.. :( [01:08] was ist ubuntu? [01:08] ist es frei? [01:08] Of course [01:08] Da_Rhyno: if you read the screen then you will be fine# [01:08] !de | linuxuser92 [01:08] linuxuser92: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [01:08] was? [01:08] Thanks. [01:09] Da_Rhyno: its safe in the terms that it works until you screw it up ;) works fine, go do it! =) [01:09] what theme do you guys recommend with ubuntu 10.04? [01:09] I had problem using Ubuntu installed at a USB Flash Drive. Something happend after a couple of boots that destroyed the Grub thing. Is there any great way of installing Ubuntu onto a USB Flash Drive (not Ubuntu Live but the REAL Ubuntu)? [01:09] anyone know how to fix so that you can right click and add stuff onto the desktop. "forgot how to do this", .. it's disabled for me.. [01:10] So I think I shall dual boot. [01:10] Da_Rhyno:Go for it! [01:10] i guess i'll keep the default theme [01:10] aimio: if you install ubuntutweak it has a nice nautilus scripts section you can add junk like that with [01:11] krogers0001: dont see how thats relevant to support, unless you elaborate on your needs/requirements. [01:11] Da_Rhyno: "BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. " (http://linux.about.com/od/ubupck_doc/a/ubupg31t13.htm) [01:11] The only reason I'm worried about it is I tried Debian a while back, and did a dual boot on my old machine, and after a few tries, completely lost Windows. [01:11] ;) [01:11] aimio: sounds like you did something disabled your desktop from gconf-editor [01:11] oh sorry arvut you're absolutely right [01:11] (Mind you, I hardly used any of the *nix commands, just the gnome gui) [01:11] best thing that could ever happen to you, Da_Rhyno [01:11] ActionParsnip, hi, as it turns out the liveUSB I created using Unversal USB Installer was not a [01:12] hello [01:12] persistent one [01:12] Lol, not when all my important docs were on my Windows partition [01:12] Da_Rhyno: You won't need to use the command line in ubuntu. [01:12] :) [01:12] you would have lost them eventually Da_Rhyno [01:12] ActionParsnip, thanks i will check it out.. [01:12] krogers0001: im curious tho, what are your needs/req? any way i can help? [01:12] @ cache_surplus: Don't make it sound like this is an intended result... ;) [01:12] your using windoze as your primary os [01:12] I upgraded a couple of packages via opt and with to revert back to the previous version - is that possible via CLI? [01:12] nawk: hmm, it should still allow you to install stuff in the live environment, just that the changes won't stick after a reboot [01:13] anyone knows how to fix a broken synaptic on ubuntu 10.04? [01:13] always do back ups frequently, this is 2011, everyone should have a storage box/external drive [01:13] mdg2: what did you install? [01:13] no excuse [01:13] ActionParsnip: Nope. It would NOT allow me to install stuff [01:13] Yeah, honestly because the more important stuff I use (Steam & associated games, Skype) don't run on Linux. [01:13] skype runs fine on linux [01:13] so do games [01:13] ActionParsnip: Here is what I find and I would like to share with you [01:14] all my important stuff runs fine on linux [01:14] ActionParsnip, four updates for enlighttenment [01:14] if you need help with things, just ask in here, Da_Rhyno [01:14] Thanks Cache. [01:14] Is there a way to run steam in ubuntu? [01:14] j/w [01:15] Da_Rhyno: can attempt with WINE but its not a sure thing [01:15] Da_Rhyno: yep, it runs in wine [01:15] ActionParsnip: Previously, I could not install or do anyting b/c the system ('/', the aufs filesystem) was COMPLELETLY out of space. [01:15] Da_Rhyno: first of all, what is steam and what does it do [01:15] Da_Rhyno: skype runs perfectly fine under ubuntu 8.04 and upwards, and maybe you'll discover something new while trying ubuntu? [01:15] cache_surplus: its a hub for games [01:15] cache_surplus: its how folks play counterstrike and half-life online [01:15] yeah... namely I play TF2/TFC though. [01:15] :) [01:16] Da_Rhyno: same engine [01:16] yeah, it's all source. [01:16] Except for the old stuff... [01:16] GoldSrc [01:16] ActionParsnip: Now that I have chosen to create a Persistent LiveUSB with 1GB allocated, there is alot of free stuff (only 2% used vs. the previously 100% used) [01:16] id much rather run virtualbox than a wine or windows emulator [01:16] nawk: awesome, looks like a winner to me :) [01:16] ActionParsnip: its abit more than that, but yes, those games are in it. [01:16] than dual boot [01:17] arvut: true but it gave a clear enough idea of what the dealio was :) [01:17] see http://steampowered.com [01:17] id much rather only use linux and wait for whatever you need to be cloned by linux devs [01:17] than get viruses again [01:17] or take 5 mins to be on the internet [01:18] or pay for antivirus or software [01:18] Honestly, I like the way linux is laid out. [01:18] ActionParsnip: So, whether one chooses to create a persistent LiveUSB, there's STILL gonna be a casper-rw ext3 partion. I guess the aufs system uses (overlays ?????) the ext3 casper-rw filsystem [01:18] i been windoze free for 5 years now [01:18] It's similar to Mac/Android [01:18] ActionParsnip: there are countless of users who doesnt tho, but fps games are probably the most common genre. i only use it as a chatsystem nowadays [01:18] Da_Rhyno: are you a noob? [01:18] ActionParsnip, I have my history.log for apt - any hints how to go about undoing the upgrade of those four packages in enlightment? [01:18] Da_Rhyno: TFC was waaay better before all this steam nonesense, when counterstrike was a mod, more playable. Used to use uni connection and use 250Mb zip disks to transfer it :) [01:18] to unices [01:19] Action - WONSwap FTW. [01:19] ActionParsnip: the default size (when "No Persistence" is chosen) for casper-rw is 128MB [01:19] Lol, cool. [01:19] cache - noob to linux? yes. [01:20] !noob | Da_Rhyno [01:20] Da_Rhyno: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [01:20] hi guys! [01:20] hi :) [01:20] hey [01:20] mdg2: not sure, you could remove the packages then find debs for the older version, its gonna get messy [01:20] Hey everyone [01:21] arvut - sorry. [01:21] I've been using Linux for 2 days now...I can see why people are going Windows-free [01:21] this is MUCH better than I ever expected [01:21] hey guys, I have an ubuntu server install. I've install gnome but I am missing some applications like application install. How do I install that manually [01:21] cctx005: what did you expect [01:21] has anybody sucessfully installed pianobar? [01:21] cctx005: =) [01:21] superfatass: if you wanted a desktop OS, why didnt you install the desktop system?? [01:21] ActionParsnip, bummer! one of these four packages took awy my ability to shutdown from anything other than CLI - not to nice in enlightenment [01:22] I'm wondering where the empathy saves changes made. If I'm in Preferences, Theme and change the subject, where it is saved? [01:22] ActionParsnip: because I changed my mind about what I want to run on it [01:22] So let me get this straight... [01:22] cctx005: You still haven't seen everything. :( [01:22] @ splitwire: someone did. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1341366 [01:22] :) [01:22] I sort of expected a completely un-beginner friendly mostly command line type of OS [01:23] superfatass: i'd recommend downloading and installing the desktop OS, much easier. You can instal ubuntu-desktop package but you will have server stuff which wont get used [01:23] I tried LInux years ago...I didn't enjoy the experience [01:23] I want to do a dual boot with Windows. I have a 4GB USB stick [01:23] test [01:23] clemenstimpler - thanks [01:23] ActionParsnip: Im installing apt-get install firefox and I notice it is installing synaptic as well [01:23] you're welcome [01:23] What do I do? [01:23] cctx005: There are hundred thousand commands available. You DON'T have to know them all. You only need to know what you are looking for (to get it done). [01:23] Da_Rhyno: you can usethe 1-2-3 usb installer from pendrivelinux or unetbootin to put the ISO on the USB to install with [01:23] can anyone recommend a performant pcmcia nic that works great with ubuntu? [01:24] my laptop/server's built in ethernet card is shot [01:24] time to get a new one [01:24] well Google has been my friend [01:24] !hcl | goetter [01:24] goetter: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [01:24] goetter, how about USB? [01:24] usb would be okay; i assumed pcmcia is more performant [01:24] cctx005: The same thing can be said for websites. You don't have to look at them all. ;) If you have anything you want to know, ask away. :) [01:24] ActionParsnip - Which is the preferred method if I'm to dual boot, though? or does it not matter? [01:24] I know about supported hardware list, I'm looking for a specific recommendation :> [01:25] I wish I could learn enough to go Linux-only...but I think games will keep Vista installed [01:25] !dualboot | Da_Rhyno [01:25] Da_Rhyno: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [01:26] hiya rooks, mind helping me with grub2? [01:26] cctx005: Opt for another/separate hard-drive/laptop/machine if you insist on keeping Windows. I have Xbox360 for gaming. [01:26] arvut, tbh i know not much about it :) but ask away [01:26] isnt grub deprecated now? [01:26] q cache_surplus: grub 1.0 [01:27] happy new years all..! I'm trying to open .rar files but getting an error from the Archive Manager.. "Archive type not supported" [01:27] i have the ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card - and needing to upgrade ubuntu .. should i do 10.04 or 10.10 ? [01:27] cache_surplus: grub2 is still in beta, me think. I'm using grub though. [01:27] campbellgolf: sudo apt-get install unrar [01:27] GeekSquid .. thanks, executing now! [01:27] grub is always going to work [01:28] does anyone know what the normal runlevel is for LTS server? [01:28] grub2 grub 1 whatever, its just the packagers of ubuntu have decided to add a script to do something that didn't need fixing [01:28] cache_surplus, lol.. i had so much fail stroies with grub i cant count... even lilo for me had lesser fail ratio [01:28] but it is prettier! [01:28] ;) [01:28] :D [01:28] !runlevel | trelayne [01:28] trelayne: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [01:28] hey trelayne Happy New Year :) === mike_ is now known as Guest69839 === Guest69839 is now known as CREAM [01:29] trelayne: normally 2 [01:29] rooks: alright, here goes; i have winxp on sda1, ubuntu on sdb1, 2 and 5. recently i fixed a windows issue with the rescue cd and it override the mbr. so where should I reinstall grub2? on sda1? and how? [01:29] this might be a dumb question...but what is the benefit to running Ubuntu as the only OS on my machine vs a dual-boot with Vista? [01:29] GeekSquid, thanks [01:29] aside from having more HD space [01:29] chaff, Happy New Year to u2 ! [01:29] havent used lilo in like 10 years [01:29] cctx005, none === CREAM is now known as Guest56972 [01:29] I tried the pendrive installer... [01:29] chalcedony, Happy New Year to u2 ! [01:29] cctx005: Nothing. Other than taking up your HDD space. [01:29] arvut, hmm.. sry, i dont know out of my hhead how to customize grub :) [01:29] trelayne, ltns [01:29] It didnt' download the ISO correctly.

[01:33] thanks... [01:33] I downloaded the Universal USB Installer from the Ubuntu website. [01:33] I'm still new so I'm not sure...how different are some of the big distros (OpenSUSE, Fedora etc..)? I jumped on Ubuntu out of advice from a friend...I'm just not sure if there is something I'm missing by not trying other distros [01:34] (from the link on the ubuntu website) [01:34] cctx005, this very much depends on what you use your pc for [01:34] cctx005: missing? maybe frustration... I find ubuntu to be alot less frustrating than other distros [01:34] Da_Rhyno, can you post the link here? [01:35] And then I chose Ubuntu 9.10 /10.04.1 Desktop i386. I checked the checkbox to download ISO [01:35] !flash [01:35] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:35] just finished watching Revolution OS not bad I actually learned a lot [01:35] hey guys. I've been having problems with blocks appearing instead of certain gtk elements. I've played with gtk-demo and have narrowed the problems down to hyperlinks and single/double underlining. Here's a couple of screenshots to show what I mean; http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=3021 , http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=3022 - does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I'm using ubuntu 10.04 [01:35] cctx005: you can try others of course, but really, ubuntu is by far the most user friendly.. definitely moreso than fedora or opensuse IMO.. [01:36] Ok my problem is that mysql does not start on reboot. It tried purging and reinstalling mysql. But it didn't work. THen I looked around more and it appears it could be this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/610085 Seems there is something wrong with the upstart file /etc/init/mysql.conf [01:36] !funny | superfatass [01:36] superfatass: You might think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users who follow your advice or irritate people who attempt to answer your question.

[01:36] ubottu: what joke [01:36] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:36] well i just use my pc for general stuff...gaming, watching media (dvd's, videos etc, music etc..), using MS Office, web surfing etc...I don't do anything like programming, graphic design etc.. [01:36] And I went down to step 2. I chose "USB stick" and "Windows" [01:36] cache_surplus: what joke [01:36] No [01:36] I did not. [01:36] your nic ;) [01:36] cache_surplus: ok I'll change it [01:36] @ cctx - then you may feel comfy with ubuntu === superfatass is now known as gabe_newell [01:37] cache_surplus: probably best to test factoids in PM before using them. [01:37] Hey guys, sorry to butt in but I'm not sure how to disable skype,pidgin and orage from starting up when i log on.Do u know how to disable them starting up?

[01:38] butt in but I'm not sure how to disable skype from starting up when i log in. [01:39] Doinkle: yeah.. i just fire off nasty letters, etc.. so Openoffice is fine [01:39] R0_odge, check startup area for that [01:39] R0_odge: perhaps in skype's configuration ... I am thinking there is a checkbox there [01:39] R0_odge: I goto System->Preferences->Startup Applications [01:39] n8 [01:39] O yea, btw im using xubuntu [01:39] hi I have a problem whit mi SD reader [01:39] hey guys how do i get rpc.statd to start on boot [01:39] Gah... [01:39] I figured it out [01:40] hi, [01:40] Does anybody here have an AT&T or Bell South email address? [01:40] Damn firefox wasn't showing the download! [01:40] >_< [01:40] oh [01:40] It was downloading... I'm sorry. [01:40] generally Firefox pops up with a window showing a download is running. [01:40] In this case, it didn't. [01:40] what is the package name for the user settings UI in Ubuntu? [01:40] Da_Rhyno, you are trying to make a USB stick to install from right? [01:40] KM0201: theres zoho too (online office app) [01:41] can someone please direct me to a decent Bash tutorial online? [01:41] mdg2 - yeah [01:41] hi I have a problem with my SD reader [01:41] ActionParsnip: i'm not a fan of all the 'cloud' computing i think they call it.. where all your crap is done via websites [01:41] And actually I had an older version of the USB installer I was running [01:41] so now I'm downloading version 10.10 [01:41] KM0201: its good in low resource situations though. OpenOffice is 300Mb installed [01:41] Da_Rhyno, unetbooting is great for that [01:41] On the newer download. [01:41] Da_Rhyno, unetbootin [01:41] ActionParsnip: no argument there [01:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/BashScripting [01:42] What's unetbootin? [01:42] hey guys how do i get rpc.statd to start on boot [01:42] Da_Rhyno: It's a program that helps you put an ISO onto a USB drive [01:42] Da_Rhyno, a little program to make bootable USB drives [01:42] Da_Rhyno: its an app to put ISOs on USB sticks and then makes them bootable [01:42] cache_surplus: thanks a lot!!! [01:42] Ah, I see... [01:42] this installer seems to do that though. [01:42] !unetbootin | Da_Rhyno [01:42] Da_Rhyno: 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 [01:43] Da_Rhyno: there are lots of programs that do that, it probably doesn't matter which you use === rsrdjan is now known as rsr === rsr is now known as theos === theos is now known as techx [01:43] alexbawrin: np [01:43] I ment in XFCE? are the usersettings UI present only in ubuntu? can't find then in debian... [01:43] can someone help me plz [01:43] hey guys how do i get rpc.statd to start on boot [01:44] Thanks everyone. :) [01:44] ribatejoluso: debian isnt suported here [01:44] !find rpc.statd [01:44] Da_Rhyno, you are welcome and good luck [01:44] File rpc.statd found in apparmor-profiles, manpages-fr-extra, manpages-ja, nfs-common, runit-services [01:44] Dr_Willis, i know where it is [01:44] but it does not start automaticly on boot [01:44] my pc can't read the SD cards [01:44] I know, that is not what I asked...what is the package name in ubuntu? I have one laptop in ubuntu and another with debian [01:44] lano: so its part of the nfs service that you installed? [01:44] One reason I gave up on Linux was when I first started, the community treated newbies like crap. [01:44] well rpc_statd is in /sbin [01:45] I have in ubuntu usersettings under system [01:45] Dr_Willis: rpc = remote proceedure call [01:45] And me, being the noob I was, got handed that treatment. [01:45] ribatejoluso: i believe the config UIs are just part of gnome [01:46] Da_Rhyno: still happens, depends on the distro if you ask me [01:46] You got newbies.. then you got lazy people... :) [01:46] Dr_Willis, i cant seem to mount any nfs mounts rill i dont run /sbin/rpc.statd [01:46] Dr_Willis: and rude elitists [01:46] oh,..will look ..tx [01:47] lano: every time ive set up nfs - ive not had that issue. I just follow that rather short NFS wiki page they got setup [01:47] !nfs [01:47] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [01:47] so uh, do pcmcia or usb network cards work better? [01:47] mp3 playback is incredibly glitchy since i switched to 64bit, googled a bit, but can't solve it... :( [01:47] Dr_Willis, do u have a link [01:47] lano: i do recall there being 2 different NFS servers - one was somehow in the kenel, other was the older slower one. [01:47] qwm: which release? [01:47] ActionParsnip - I was using Debian. [01:47] ActionParsnip: um.. 10.10. [01:48] i am just goign to follow the guide [01:48] thanks mate much appreciated [01:48] Da_Rhyno: strange, they arent so bad. I used mandrake (back in the day) and they rocked :) [01:48] goetter: I'm thinking you'll get better throughput with PCMCIA .. just make sure you get supported hardware [01:48] ActionParsnip: doesn't seem to be a sound issue, but decoding itself not turning out.. ideal. [01:48] qwm: i suggest you use the sound troubleshooting link, it may help [01:48] what's the best alternative for powerpoint? [01:48] ActionParsnip - Cool! Did you ever try RedHat? [01:48] cctx005: theres impress in openoffice [01:48] qwm: try converting all your mp3s to a better supported format, it might solve it ;) [01:48] cctx005 - OpenOffice [01:48] hmmm I'll check it out [01:48] Da_Rhyno: yeah 5.0 for about 2 hours and hated it [01:49] cctx005: googledocs can read it too [01:49] i'm installing Office 03 via WINE right now just to see if it works...but I'm not holding my breath [01:49] please, where are configuration files of empathy ? [01:49] ActionParsnip - Ah, I see. I heard pretty good things about it though. [01:49] arvut: yeah, i tried that first, on this install... the converted vorbis files are glitchy when played back on other systems... so i've converted some albums to vorbis on a different system as a workaround. [01:49] Does anyone know if there's a way I can run Steam and TF2 in Linux? [01:49] Does anybody here have an AT&T or Bell South email address? [01:50] arvut: i hope i said that in a way that made sense. [01:50] tsrk - Does Bell South even exist anymore? [01:50] ;) [01:50] i do [01:50] /quit [01:50] I thought verizon took 'em over. [01:50] ... or was that Bell Atlantic... [01:50] Da_Rhyno: No idea, but some of my customers seem to have email addresses from them and some of the emails are getting bounced. I want to see if their servers are rejecting my mail. [01:51] Da_Rhyno: steam runs well in wine [01:51] Da_Rhyno: I think it's part of AT&T or something [01:51] tsrk - weird. [01:51] ActionParsnip - is it really difficult to set up? [01:51] Da_Rhyno: Yeah, email servers are a PITA [01:51] I think bell south is now a part of EvilEmpire, Inc (tm) [01:51] I'll want to try it, just for kicks. =) [01:51] Da_Rhyno: just install wine in software centre then run the installer for the game etc in wine [01:51] Ah, I see. [01:52] Blue1: that would be correct [01:52] bell south is now part of at&t [01:52] Action - will do. [01:52] i think needed some command line option with wine to install properly [01:52] Da_Rhyno: your video chip will need to be abvle to run 3D accelleration under Linux (obviously) [01:52] Does NVidia play nicely with Linux? [01:52] wine someoption steaminstaller.msi (i always have to look it up) [01:52] So, everyone in here hates AT&T so much that they don't use their internet? That's probably a good thing, but it'll make finding someone to help me harder :( [01:52] Da_Rhyno: better then anything else ive tried. [01:52] Da_Rhyno: usually, if it's a recent card - not so with legacy mode [01:53] it's on a laptop. [01:53] Nvidia does [01:53] "Geforce GT 130M with CUDA" [01:53] Da_Rhyno: sure, that's been my experience for eight years. [01:53] my only ati card so far.. not so much. [01:53] does the useradd -p option take a plaintext password? [01:54] Holy damn! 6 hours to download Ubuntu! [01:54] O_O [01:54] how come "sudo fdisk -l" says both sda1 (winxp) and sdb1 (linux swap) are 'boot'? how will i know where the mbr is at and how do i solve this? trying to restore/reinstall grub2.. [01:54] Da_Rhyno: use the torrent, its faster [01:54] Da_Rhyno: I'd say you found a bad mirror [01:54] Da_Rhyno: when useing the torrents - i got it in under 15 min. [01:54] shoot. [01:54] Da_Rhyno: if you refresh the DL page you'll get a different mirror [01:55] I hate torrenting... God knows what viruses can be pickekd kup. [01:55] picked up* [01:55] okay... [01:55] I'll try a torrent though [01:55] I just need to download uTorrent. [01:55] hey guys ... whats the right version to download .... 10.04 or 10.10 ? [01:55] cobra-the-joker: depends on your needs. [01:55] Da_Rhyno: I'm getting 1MB/s from here: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/ [01:55] cobra-the-joker: may as well try 10.10 [01:56] Da_Rhyno: and also U of Waterloo is awesome so you should always use their mirrors ;) [01:56] tsrk - Thanks. [01:56] cobra-the-joker: 10.04 is supported longer as it is LTS. Both are perfectly fine [01:56] I'll try a torrent. [01:57] ActionParsnip , i will go for the LTS then ... it seems to be better [01:57] I would like to thank you guys for helping me [01:57] Da_Rhyno, you can't pick up viruses from torrenting ubuntu from the officla iste [01:57] *site [01:57] is there a wiki on how to take the bloat out of 10.10? [01:58] tsrk - it was running at about the same rate the previous one was, so I'll use the torrent. [01:58] cobra-the-joker: for servers, i'd always advise LTS release [01:58] Da_Rhyno: ok, torrent will probably be the fastest option [01:58] ActionParsnip , its not a server ... its a laptop actually [01:58] almoxarife: I don't think so, if you want no bload, install debian with no extras and build it yourself [01:58] cobra-the-joker: a matter of taste, 10.04 might be more stable, while 10.10 includes new things [01:59] !lolcats [01:59] i iz so bored of lolcats. speek english! [01:59] one mans bloat is antoehr mans must have eye candy [01:59] I'm still using 10.04, though I'll probably update with the next release [01:59] cobra-the-joker: 10.04 will not need upgrading for a long while before support dies for it [01:59] NixGeek: rather stick with ubuntu, I de-bloated 10.4 but I am seeing processes new to me in 10.10 [01:59] any information about this lines: [.ShellClassInfo] CLSID={645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} tjis is a file .ini & i see in my Pc [01:59] pleace help me [01:59] ActionParsnip , i like that ... 10.04 then [01:59] dannyLopez: desktop.ini? [01:59] yes [02:00] dannyLopez: it's a system file created by Windows to help it keep track of folder customizations. [02:00] and people think that windows is simple/not confuseing.. :) [02:00] Da_Rhyno: As ActionParsnip said, steam runs well in wine. According to http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonProgram TF2 runs well on an ATI R700 series card - make sure you see note 30 on that page. [02:00] It was running at 40 kb/s [02:00] at most. [02:00] rww: & 1 folder "ice" with 2 files .exe thas are virus? [02:01] dannyLopez: no idea [02:01] how do I correct the links to filetype in 10.10 gnome? [02:01] i've not had very good luck with games on Steam. can make most of them work, like counterstrike source and TF2, but the performance is bad compared to windows. and theres random quirks and bugs. [02:01] dannyLopez: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus has a list of antivirus scanners, if you're looking for one. [02:02] rww: why would anyone need an a/v scanner in *nix? [02:02] How can i torrent from the website? [02:02] breadcrumb: which version/s of wine did you try? [02:02] Blue1: to scan for Windows viruses [02:02] dannyLopez: wrong place to ask im afraid :/ try scanning with clamav if you are supporting a windows install from ubuntu [02:02] almoxarife, why didn't you stick with 10.04,? [02:02] could someone please give me and dirty configuration for smb.conf ?? mine isn't working :( [02:02] rww: yes, but if I am running *nix, by definition, not running windows. not needed [02:02] ..quick and dirty [02:02] ActionParsnip the one in the ubuntu repos, and the newer versions from wines repo [02:02] dorbin: the default is good, what's your specific problem? [02:02] also playonlinux.. [02:02] dorbin: did you remember to set up your samba passwords? [02:03] dorbin: why dirty? [02:03] NixGeek: I started to see lots more fixes to my problems with ubuntu pointing to 10.10 rather than 10.04 [02:03] no need for security [02:03] oh.. [02:03] I did setup samba passwords [02:03] arvut: no Im not win2 user [02:03] Blue1: 1) dualbooting exists. 2) people boot into Linuxes to fix Windows, 3) email servers run on Linux and sometimes are set up to check for viruses, 4) people sometimes want to check a .doc or such isn't virus-encumbered before passing it along. etc. [02:03] dorbin: this might help http://pkill-9.com/?p=309 [02:03] dorbin: to get samba running, all you need to do is install it (w/ default config), "sudo smbpasswd -a [you]", and then create a share [02:04] dorbin: and that'll be secure as well as quick [02:04] dorbin: you can actually do it without encrypted passwords, but it's more work to set up (on both the server and windows client end) [02:04] I am doing this on ubuntu server .. running default smb.conf with no success [02:04] dorbin: what's the specific issue? [02:04] Is there a torrent link on the Ubuntu website? I'm looking and can't find one. [02:05] i leave bye [02:05] tsrk: what do you mean? my problem? [02:05] dorbin: pretty much i just edit the smb.conf, set a proper workgroup, then uncomment the lines that enable the home shares. give the users a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' [02:05] dorbin: then the userc can connect to smb://servername/theirname [02:05] dorbin: you say that it doesn't work, what's happening when you try to access the server? [02:05] Da_Rhynp: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [02:06] tsrk: the share doesn't show up in nautilus .. [02:06] can you really not get viruses or spyware/malware on Ubuntu? [02:06] !virus [02:06] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus === nick is now known as Guest59562 [02:06] dorbin: theres often issues with nautius seeing shares. i often have to type in the full url to the share the first time. [02:06] That's amazing [02:06] ok [02:06] I waste so much time scanning Vista [02:07] ..but xbmc couldn't find it either [02:07] thanks clemenstimpler GeekSquid. The problem with MySQL not starting has to do with the mysql.conf upstart file. I'm using a VPS, which has filesystems working differently. So mysql was stuck somewhere on start... I simply modified the file as follows to get it to work: http://askubuntu.com/questions/15222/mysql-server-upstart-script-not-working-on-boot [02:07] thanks [02:07] dorbin: sometimes i have to enter the ip# instead of the machine hostname also. it just seems to depend ont he network setup [02:08] dorbin: the findsmb and smbtree commands are handy for toubleshooting/scanning the network for shares also [02:09] am I using the correct command for restarting samba?? (restart smbd) [02:10] dorbin: sudo service SERVICENAME restart [02:10] trelayne: verygood [02:10] sudo service smbd restart [02:11] Blue1 - you wou;dn't want to pass on Windows virus to someone else. [02:12] [Q] how do i change login screen resolution ? my pc don't seem to have /etc/X11/xorg.conf .... [02:12] GeekSquid, I spend quite a bit of time trying to understand what the hell was going on. Learned a few things along the way... but man am I glad it wasnt' some corruption in the system [02:12] What's the difference between using the service program and typing the path to the script? e.g. /etc/init.d/httpd stop [02:12] spend = spent [02:12] wildbat: the monitors tool in the system menu.. is the normal way [02:12] why is there even a program to do that? [02:12] Nisstyre65: service is the proper way to do it.. init.d/ stuff is slowly getting replaced by upstart. [02:12] scotty^: it's why I don't use windows [02:13] rww: ive seen the code for a linux virus written in c.. and rootkits are always a danger. [02:13] Nisstyre65: not all services even have a init.d/XXXX script any more [02:13] arvut: right root kits are bad. [02:13] Dr_Willis: did that , but it only change my resolution after i login :< ~ [02:13] Dr_Willis, so it's hardcoded into the service program? [02:13] does anyone know why a ubuntu 8.04 system that has been working for a long time would suddenly start saying "grub error 18"? and how to fix it? [02:13] anyone know how to chroot sftp users? [02:13] campee: umm maybe you might want to upgrade to 10.04 (LTS) [02:14] wildbat: changeing gdm res. Hmm. never needed to do that. you can somehow run that monitors tool as the user 'gdm' and tweak the gdm screen. [02:14] i ran a SMART test on the drive and it didn't contain any errors. i don't have a live CD handy though to check on the drive's status/partitions [02:14] Hello. I'm new to irc, And I was wondering where I might find technical type help. [02:14] it suddenly worked!! Think the problem was that I wasn't using the correct command to restart the samba service. THank you all for helping -- very nice of you to offer your time to help people. [02:14] :) [02:14] Nisstyre65: whats hardcoded? the service command can underatnd upstart or the older sysv type services.. [02:14] Whitehat - Technical help ofr IRC or for Ubuntu? [02:14] cctx005: there aren't many, and its a minimal risk. but virii can affect wine tho [02:14] or for something else? [02:14] Dr_Willis: AR~ good idea ~ let me try [02:14] dorbin: samba is supposed to restart automatically when its confif file changes. i belive. [02:14] Whitehate: just ask your questions, thats basically this entire chat [02:14] any ideas on how to fix grub 18 without re-installing? [02:15] for Ubuntu. lol [02:15] sorry [02:15] oh ok [02:15] Dr_Willis, I think I didn't ask that correctly. What I mean is; are the commands to stop and start services all in the 'service' program or are they stored as shell scripts somewhere? [02:15] apparmor doesn't protect much [02:15] campee: we share a common problem. can you elaborate? [02:15] campee: look here: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18 [02:15] Nisstyre65: sort of both. The service program calls the scripts (and does some extra stuff I believe) [02:16] Nisstyre65: the service 'scripts' defind what the exact service does for a start/stop/restart option. check /etc/init/* files [02:16] or maybe not.. [02:16] is there a way to move a linux installation to a different harddrive? [02:16] thanks edbian Dr_Willis [02:16] my friend mary wants to use ubuntu [02:16] Whitehat: yep. Using gparted [02:16] how do i stop x so i can upgrade my video card driver [02:16] campee: you can try this: http://pkill-9.com/?p=314 however ymmv applies [02:16] i am having trouble getting ubuntu 10.10 to recognize my second monitor with nvidia-settings I have pasted my xorg on http://pastebin.com/ybFdqM5X [02:16] arvut: i'm at my parent's house. they have an old ubuntu 8.04 box they've been using. it worked great for a long time and suddenly it won't boot. it says "grub error 18, selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS." nothing has changed on this system. [02:17] MoMo: you need to be in a TTY then type sudo service gdm stop [02:17] Ok so how would I go about doing this? [02:17] campee: Reset the bios to factory defaults [02:17] bastidrazor: roger that, thanks! [02:17] campee: it sounds like it needs a seprate /boot partition [02:17] campee: or perhaps the battery on the mb died. and it DID get reset to defaults and needs set to somthing else. [02:17] why is both sda1 (winxp) and sdb1 (ubuntu 10.10) flagged as boot? [02:17] yeah, the BIOS battery theory had occurred to me. [02:18] Whitehat: use gparted, install grub on the target hdd, you're done [02:18] arvut: you can have one bootable partion per hd. i dont think ubuntu even needs the boot flag. [02:18] i've turned it off and on and it has the correct system time. [02:18] Anyone know why my apt-get is sitting at update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-24-generic for over an hour? Its taking up no CPU ~_~ [02:18] campee: hdd is failing maybe? [02:18] so i think the battery is ok. [02:18] i ran a SMART test on it and it didn't detect any problems. [02:18] campe: it may be that the kernel migrated out of the first 1023 sectirs of the harddrive, where old computers can look at boot. [02:18] what is error 18 btw? [02:19] i have a ubuntu 10.04 bootable USB key that I verified on a laptop boots correctly. on their system i get an error on the monitor saying "supported resolution can not be displayed, please change it to 1280 x 1024". anyone know how to fix that? [02:19] i wanted to boot into a live cd environment and run fdisk -l, etc. [02:19] campee what video chipset is on the machine? [02:20] @edbian What I have is a linux installation on a partition on sdb and I want it moved to a partition on sda [02:20] not sure. just reset BIOS to defaults and rebooting. === River_Rat is now known as RiverRat [02:20] still getting error 18. [02:20] hello, my brightness controls don't work on my laptop (running ubuntu 11.04) and its affecting my battery life dramatically because the brightness is always at max. [02:20] campee, this is a guide for moving /home to a seprate partition, use it to move /boot to a seprate partition at the begenning of the drive. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving Also, If you have to shrink the begenning of a partition to make a /boot partition, make sure to uncheck round to cylinders in gparted. [02:20] campee: for nvidia chipsets i have to use the 'nomodeset' option to get the live cd's booting properly [02:20] how do I fix this? [02:21] Whitehat: great, launch gparted. It should be pretty obvious how to copy [02:21] tuxxman: natty is supported and discussed in #ubuntu+1 [02:21] Dr_Willis: where do you specify that? i think it DOES have an nvidia graphics card [02:21] @edbian ok thats easy enough. [02:21] ActionParsnip: thanks [02:21] Has anyone used Cedega to play games? [02:21] cctx005: i once did [02:22] Whitehat the only hard part is installing grub. but you can just google that [02:22] does it work? [02:22] campee when ya boot the live cd.. theres a little man logo at the bottom, (on 10.10) hit space (i think) then its in the F6 menu items. or edit the grub menu at boot and replace 'quiet splash' with 'nomodeset' [02:22] Poppler 0.16 was released on December 27, 2010. Will this be included in Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal"?

[02:33] Dr_Willis: isn't looking for its files on the sda patition (i dont think) [02:33] yeah [02:33] arvut: a extended partition holds logical.. so the sdb2/sdb5 thing makes sence [02:33] Whitehat: have you tried running "sudo update-grub"?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

[02:36] KM0201: it might I don't know I had to manually add it to get it to work [02:36] lano: perhaps check the forums or in #ubuntu-server - ive not ever seen or heard of people with that issue. - as a cheat you could put the command in /etc/rc.local i guess [02:36] Blue1: on 3.2, or 4.0?

[02:51] You could put it on sdb. and tell the bios to boot the 2nd hd by default. [02:52] and leave the mbr on sda alone. (thats how my laptop is setup) [02:52] hmm, ill try both options then [02:52] nvm, I fix my issue [02:52] hold on :P [02:52] you could even insatll grub to both . if you wanted..

[03:24] skullboy: dpkg -i pacakge1.deb package2.deb [03:24] qwebirc97871, install or cd [03:24] both [03:25] hanasaki: ive not seen av software for linux that works that way. since it normally scans for windows viruses.. it would be a bit of a waste. [03:25] atleast i get into grub, probably forgot to update the list tho [03:25] I have an ATI graphics card [03:25] hanasaki: you shouldn't need to concern yourself with viruses in linux as they don't have the ability to run like in windows [03:25] skullboy: or put them in a directory and dpkg -i *.deb and let dpkg sort it out. :) [03:25] Dr_Willis: not true... best not to be a carrier.. especially if you run samaba [03:26] how would I enable /proc/bus/usb on lucid? [03:26] hanasaki: of course you'll want to have a decent av software on your windows machines... and they should catch anything that comes through as they are passed through samba [03:26] hanasaki: yes it would be a waste to be scanning linux files for windows viruses. There are features to let some servers auto scan. but thats not sacnning every file the user accesses. [03:26] ok guys sorry about that flood i missread can i still get help? [03:26] any ideas? [03:26] qwebirc97871, have you tried noapic [03:26] yep [03:26] Dr_Willis: and then there is wine [03:26] hanasaki: I don't think there is one, if you don't want to carry, then you have to scan media, like usb sticks [03:26] john85: ask a question [03:27] the goal is to make sure that any file on the linux server is scanned on RW to make sure its not a carrier [03:27] hanasaki: but the fact is I have run virii on my Linux box with wine to no avail [03:27] i cant get my wifi on my laptop to activate [03:27] hanasaki: and with wine - worse case - it messes up the users home dir. Point is most av software ive seen is just used as 'scanners' not 'real time detectors on access' [03:27] qwebirc97871, do you know the graphics card [03:27] make and model? [03:28] !tab | qwebirc97871 [03:28] qwebirc97871: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:28] hanasaki: biggest danger i see to linux systems - is the end user. :) [03:28] hanasaki: the only thing it does is multiplies itself, and pastes itself in many folders, I later removed them, it was nothing [03:28] ATI PCI 3870 x2 [03:28] Dr_Willis: shane4ubuntu: prob sloved thx for help [03:28] qwebirc97871, yes [03:28] Does anyone know if the XBox 360 Wireless Gaming Adaptor will work with Ubuntu?

[03:36] I'd love to build my own rig... [03:36] cambo357: why?.. it's the best PC you can get for the money [03:36] arvut: What you would most likely want is a sniffer on eth0 that detects packages known to be part of malware and then block the originating IP or somesuch. [03:36] i am trying to get it going on an extra lappy [03:36] I'd make sure not to use some crapping Intel gfx card though >.< [03:36] Official_Noob: i only build my own stuff [03:36] thats an even better deal for no money [03:36] arvut: That is not something you would want to build into an antivirus package imo. [03:36] cambo357: get what going? [03:37] ubuntu [03:37] BlueEagle: how about a sniffer that pipes to clamscan? [03:37] cambo357: oh, well just install it.. what probs are you having? [03:37] ubuntu is fun :D but I miss Window's games and Photoshop =/ [03:37] actually, i have a specific thing in mind that i want, so im testing for now [03:37] qwebirc97871, okay all I can do is look on google and link the card with ubuntu isn't there a manufactures name [03:37] generally scanning an entire interface isn't very worthwhile [03:37] cambo357: oh ok [03:37] !ot [03:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:37] Hi, i try out ubuntu (10.10) currently. i installed the haskell platform and as extension "Assorted Haskell language documentation (haskell-doc)" Now where is this installed (or how do i open this doc)? [03:37] i think its mostly hardware issues right now [03:37] Its an ATI (made by ATI) ATI brand 3870x2 [03:38] with the biggest factor of me being a noob [03:38] arvut: You do not want to have clamav perform that type of checks because what is comming trough eth0 is never a file. It is apple and soccer. [03:38] nilshero: man haskell [03:38] my idea is to scan all i/o from eth0 with clamav [03:38] +s [03:38] nilshero: /usr/share/doc/ would be my guess.. You could use synaptic, and explore teh details of the package to see what got installed where. [03:38] cambo357, is there a specific thing not working? [03:38] qwebirc97871, make sure you tab complete the nick every time I have a lot of things going on [03:38] because the scanner would have no idea what is and isn't a file [03:38] i can boot a live usb stick, and poke around [03:38] ahh [03:38] anyone care to help me register on the nickserv?

When running mplayer i get an error "Unknown parameter AES0" http://pastebin.ca/2036338 any ideas [03:39] i then tried to do an install on the same system. part way through, it just hangs [03:39] thx Dr_Willis, i get "no entry for haskell" [03:39] afaik it is in html format [03:39] and then even if it could detect malicious code effectively, which is doubtful [03:39] is it ok to go beserk on the software download centre and install gazillion apps and then give them all one single reboot to innit or am i asking for trouble? [03:39] Stevezau, ac3? [03:39] BlueEagle: thats true.. but how do i scan the complete file then? [03:39] oneliner: Thats fine. [03:39] it wouldn't be able to warn the user effectively because it doesn't know what file the code belongs to [03:39] (if any) [03:39] it might be the hdd thats in it, i was having issues with it with xp [03:39] Official_Noob ac3 audio [03:39] oneliner: no reboot required... [03:40] thx2 Dr_Willis, i try synaptic [03:40] GeekSquid: some apps gently request a restart [03:40] GeekSquid, some apps require reboot [03:40] Not many. [03:40] tks GeekSquid [03:40] arvut: If you receive a file you scan it when the download is complete. It is fully possible to have downloaders that pass the downloaded files to clamav upon completion. [03:40] oneliner: Official_Noob: in most cases a reboot is not required [03:40] if i can get LAMP going, i want to run ampache as a music server [03:41] most apps don't require reboot, some system stuff does, kernel etc. [03:41] cambo357: kplaylist.com may suit your needs. [03:41] specially those that fiddle with audio controls like jack and midi (am drolling all over the sound and video section :D ) [03:41] BlueEagle: then wouldnt a route or pipe be required to do so? === Official_Noob is now known as SPooN [03:41] hey guys I just barely got ubuntu to boot on my desktop(10.04 lts) but I want to install it, how do I do that? the problem is when i reboot the computer it doesn't give me the choice to install [03:41] arvut: It would most cleanly be done by a command line scan invocation. [03:41] oneliner: I perfer you keep the slobber out of the repositories [03:41] thx to ubuntu [03:41] arvut: If you really wanted to make it involved, you could probably forward traffic to a quarantine/holding pen (perhaps in a VM), scan it, and if it's clean, send it on [03:42] Blue, yes, i looked at that as well. seemed good, but i liked the interface of ampache a bit more [03:42] a sniffer that finds out where new downloads arrive and then tells clamav about it perhaps? [03:42] sdfgdfsg, there should be an icon on the desktop called "install" or "install ubuntu [03:42] " [03:42] nit-wit: this is not going to be a simple switch at boot line huh [03:42] I want to erase everything on it and just have linux on there, right now I have it booted from cd how do I permanent install it [03:42] what package for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/696392 ?

[03:42] arvut: You are getting very close to !ot tbh. [03:42] SPooN: the problem is I don't see that button, just the cd icon and a dmg looking thing [03:42] sdfgdfsg: should be an Install button on the desktop [03:43] BlueEagle: but what if i just wanna see whats comming thru and check for ugly stuff? [03:43] nit-wit: I canot get far enough to install [03:43] SPooN: it boots up windows [03:43] qwebirc97871, I think the xswat ppa is where the drivers are or somewhere else [03:43] 7?

I cannot replicate this issue [03:45] nit-wit: ahh ok, maybe I should give up [03:45] sdfgdfsg: I know there is a way, but I can't remember off the top of my head [03:45] nit-wit: brb trying sometyhing else [03:45] bah, I'm giving up on usb in virtualbox 4.0 for now.

[04:10] cuz abnormally it has stalled and will need to reboot [04:10] Jeff72834: one way of doing it is a full ubuntu installation, and if the windows programs you need aren't too demanding, use virtual machines within Ubuntu [04:10] im gonna use windows for the games. other than that....nada [04:10] I'll be playing league of legends and aion and maybe city of heroes [04:10] never wow [04:11] sk0rv: what do you mean reboot?

Linux install GRUB into the linux partition. A manual entry into C:/BOOT.INI hidden file is required but I can not remember the entry. I now use virtual machines on Linux instead.

[04:46] Stevezau: sorry abt that :S didn't realise xbmc would remove gnome.. shouldve come up as a warning of thigns it will remove.. [04:46] examine whats on teh aprtition. and back one up perhaps. or backup the whold hd to a usb hd. [04:46] my laptop had spaces for 2 hd's :) [04:47] I already backed up everything. [04:47] thanks~ [04:47] Stevezau: did u try installing the xbmc desktop thing? [04:47] lol [04:47] Da_Rhyno: If you don't ever use recovery partitions then you can remove that. [04:47] I don't. How can I? [04:48] adalal no? [04:48] when i did apt-get purge pulse it also purged half of gnome :P [04:48] Mind you, the recovery partition is very small. [04:49] Stevezau: im surprised in that case.. but didn't you get a list of things it'd remove? [04:49] Da_Rhyno: you ould resize the others to make it bigger [04:49] Da_Rhyno: Size doesn't matter, it's the need for a primary partition. [04:49] Stevezau: i said purge xbmc.. not pulse [04:49] lol [04:50] Da_Rhyno: And if you replace the recovery partition with an extended one you can create as many additional partitions as you want, which is one of the reasons why it's particularly stupid for an OEM to ship 4 primary partitions (none of which are extended). [04:50] adalal yeah i know.. but i thought id do pulse as well :P [04:51] Ah... [04:51] Hey, I am using Ubuntu 10.04LTS with Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu built into it [04:51] Whoa [04:51] I haive to figure out which partition is which. [04:51] have* [04:51] after a period of time, the display randomly blacks out [04:51] m0zes blunden: I guess the lack of moving parts (swinging keyboard) makes up for the "plasticky" nature of the Galaxy compared to the Desire. A case will cover it up nicely too, I think? [04:51] Hey everyone [04:51] Stevezau: it would.. certain gnome things ahve a pulse as a dependency [04:51] not sure what to do. [04:51] Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to control a users Desktop remotely (with their permission) in order to trouble shoot with them? Does FreeNX allow the user to see what I would be doing on their desktop? [04:52] Jordan_U - if it says "boot, diag" for certain Flags, does that mean that's the bootstrap of my OS? [04:52] shafiq_: ssh? [04:52] and what does "diag" mean? [04:52] shafiq_: I believe so, ubuntu also comes with vino by default and you can vnc to the same desktop (use an SSH tunnel if you are assisting over the web) [04:53] Da_Rhyno: Diagnostics, i.e. a bootable partition with diagnostic utilities. [04:53] Ah... okay. [04:53] Did you see that list I pastebin'ed like you asked for? [04:53] Da_Rhyno: Yes. [04:53] I'm trying to figure out which partitions are what. [04:54] #twil [04:54] adalal ActionParsnip: any tutorials on how to set that up? [04:54] has anyone ever used the HP BAckup utility that backs up in FBW [04:54] And furthermore, figure out what partition I can delete so I can use it for Ubuntu [04:54] or know of the HP channel [04:55] hey [04:55] brb... [04:55] can sombody please tell me how to select KDE session from terminal? I have removed gnome and now I cant get in [04:55] does any1 know if umbntu has a game creator?

You did install kubuntu-desktop package? [04:57] TroN-0074: theres on /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop ? [04:57] I did install it from synaptic [04:57] dr .willis can u see this?

[05:01] TroN-0074: try a sudo apt-get isntall kubuntu-desktop [05:01] francisco: fresh install on a new laptop.... has been working with no problems for over a month... this just started yesterday and is getting progressively worse....reboot, makes things ok for a short time...then the errors start [05:01] TroN-0074: sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop [05:02] I did that Dr_willis and it says that the one installed is already the newest [05:02] TroN-0074: CTRL+ALT+F7 ? [05:02] qwebirc97871, sorry man wasn't ignoring you [05:02] TroN-0074: do you have /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop ? [05:02] TroN-0074: or stop using lame gnome .. if u like gtk use xfce way better [05:02] Do you all still have that pastebin I put in here? [05:02] I need the link please. [05:04] installing ubuntu desktop right now hope that works [05:05] hi all,i did git clone a month back after this new branch is merged at server how to sync with this new branch to locally [05:05] Jordan_U - can you give me that link I posted earlier? the pastebin? [05:05] are htere any game creators for umbuntu??? [05:05] I'm trying to match up disk drives with partitions [05:05] james__: sure, look into penumbra and urban terror. ID software also love linux [05:05] james: yea, there's this el8 game [05:05] it's called Nibbles [05:05] Da_Rhyno: http://pastebin.com/L9vsXNDc [05:05] !games | james__ [05:05] james__: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [05:06] Jordan_U - thanks [05:06] nibbles is the same thing as snake im looking 4 something that i can make the whole game [05:06] Da_Rhyno: You're welcome. [05:06] that wouyld be a 'programing language' :) to create a game with... [05:07] james__, you want a gui to make the game? [05:07] Huh... This is... a minor annoyance. [05:07] but do i need any softwareoranything to create them [05:07] Lots of little games written in python. Theres teh python game of the week site. with lots of examples, [05:07] The partitions I got from Linux don't match the partition sizes listed in Windows. [05:07] worse than the resource errors outlined above, items on the menu bar disappear when clicked on and do not launch.... thoughts/solutions?? [05:08] im getting an error on grub2 while trying to boot ubuntu [05:08] so look at python stuff [05:08] Da_Rhyno: could be ones using MiB vs MB. ie: 1000gb vs 1024 and so on. [05:08] it says i have to load the kernel [05:08] hey, anyone here on an acer aspire one? [05:08] this happens right after backtrack installs [05:08] my broinlaw said he thought there was a game creation software on umbuntu [05:08] james__, pygame.org [05:08] Yeah [05:08] james__, but you still need to program [05:09] nvm pyqonsole worsk fine ty and ttyl pps [05:09] 'cause the main drive is 172GB according to Windows, and the backup drive is 115GB [05:09] so i can go to pygame.org [05:09] james_ if u are gamer u must switch to windows [05:09] is better for gaming [05:09] Dears , if the sar average output for rxdrop/s is 1.60 , dose it mean i've a network issue? [05:09] I'm guessing the main drive then is #3 and the backup is #4 [05:10] then whtas umbuntu 4? [05:10] !ubuntu [05:10] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [05:10] Does that sound about right? === CripperZ-away is now known as CripperZ [05:13] Jordan_U - Partition 4 is the backup drive. [05:13] Dr_Willis: now you made him flee the channel ;-) [05:13] ambrosius: darn! we all know ubuntu is teh 3 clicks and you got Portal5 written OS... [05:13] So how could I change that from a primary, so that way I can install Ubuntu? [05:13] Dr_Willis: hehe [05:13] Da_Rhyno: delete it and remake it as a extended. and put logicals in it. [05:14] Da_Rhyno: Even if the windows terminalogy is "Drive letters" partitions are never "drives". [05:14] I need some help with getting my wireless adaptor to connect. can anyone help? [05:14] Jordan_U - my bad. [05:15] Dr_Willis - As noobish as a question this may be, how do I do that? [05:15] (I wasn't expecting to run into this much trouble trying to install Linux) [05:15] Da_Rhyno: gparted or fdisk, just delete it.. then make a new one.. of the type extended [05:16] Matt_____: whats your wireless device? [05:16] anyone else have an acer aspire one netbook running ubuntu? [05:16] linksys wusb54g [05:16] me neither [05:17] blob4000: I do [05:17] Blue1, [05:17] have you tried out the microphone input much?

[05:18] Matt_____: are you sure your router isn't locking you out for some reason? (mac filtering, etc.) [05:19] the direct connection works. password and mac address are correct [05:19] I don't see any reason that it should not work [05:19] thanks [05:20] i dunno [05:20] blob4000: is that what you needed? [05:20] hi all, i am refering http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu to create a ubuntu 11.04 image for beagle using rootstock.can anyone tell me how to enable cache mechanism so that for next build i can refer local packages [05:20] not sure yet - going to test things out [05:20] Matt_____ what have you tried so far? [05:20] aksh1: 11.04 is not released and not stable ... take any questions to #ubuntu+1 [05:21] GeekSquid, thanks ok i will use 10.10 [05:21] in that case how to enable cache mechnism [05:21] I tried to update the driver and I am having trouble editing the config file as one web site suggested [05:22] all the tests for the configs show things are correct [05:22] Is there a terminal command to download a url and save it to a specified folder? Ie: wget http://www.google.com/mypic.jpg /home/pic/mypic.jpg? [05:23] lol,,,, it is wget isn't it [05:23] UbuntuLily, yes use wget [05:23] are there any gamecube emulators for umbunt [05:23] u??

[05:38] i plug it in and it shows as mounted already [05:39] cos the only option is unmount [05:39] try accessing it from the command line, check fdisk -l output also., try accessing it as root user. === roaming is now known as INFURNO === ubuntu_ is now known as nawk [05:41] file is an unknown type [05:41] UBUxUBU: filetype? what is it? [05:41] it thinks the files i a shortcut [05:41] UBUxUBU: be more clear in exactly what youa re doing. === keith___ is now known as keith- [05:42] o.k. got kde working thank you all [05:42] hi, i have an issue with backintime .. im making hourly backups of my important file.. since i'm a web developer using php I have to deal with a LOT of files [05:42] each backup has probably about 250 000 files [05:42] when i want to delete the backups of one day (24 hourly backup) thd deleting process takes VERY long.. can i speed this up? [05:42] Yeah that file kinda made my xserver not want to start. [05:43] im using the command rm -r 20101002 [05:43] it stick flash drive in usb port, i see the windows pop up showing the files, i clcik on the files to read them, then i get the message unknown file -shortcut [05:43] unknown file type [05:43] it thinks the files is a shortcut [05:43] I have a question, im running ubuntu server 10.04, I cant seem to get openssh server [05:43] to log at all (trying to get a fail2ban setup), I have the settings in sshd_config set [05:43] UBUxUBU: you have a file named '-shortcut' ? [05:43] to SyslogFacility AUTH and LogLevel VERBOSE, but nothing is being logged to [05:43] /var/log/auth.log [05:44] Shit, sorry for the paste messup [05:44] Ichi`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:44] Ichi`: please watch the language as well [05:44] no my buddy does, he gave me this thumb drive to figure out why he cant get at his files [05:44] UBUxUBU, what was _supposed to be on the drive? [05:44] pw-toxic: unfortuneately no, I'm thinking you should tar the thing as a backup, then you only have to delete one file per 24hour period [05:44] hi, is there any rules on how big should be change to release software update? or it's just up to maintainer? [05:44] some chart my buddy keeps on some of his home issues [05:44] UBUxUBU: files that begin with a - in the name can cause issues. [05:44] at the start of the name at least [05:45] installed microsoft streets and trips on virtural box windows xp os but gps usb reciever not recognized anyone have any idea on this problem? [05:45] Okay. Well does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? the VPS's ubu server install was minimal,but i mean ssh is running fine apart from the logging problem [05:45] GeekSquid, how can i tell backintime to make tars? [05:45] i think he copied a shortcut on a windows computer instead of doin a proper file transfer [05:45] installed microsoft streets and trips on virtural box windows xp os but gps usb reciever not recognized anyone have any idea on this problem? [05:46] GeekSquid, oh i think this one wont work because it is making inkremental backups with hardlinks.. and this wont work with tars [05:46] Hey guys [05:46] i see 3306-39f3-files browser listed also [05:46] Jeff72834: The version of Virtualbox in Ubuntu's repositories doesn't support USB peripherals. You'd need to get the full version ("VirtualBox Extension Pack" from http://virtualbox.org. [05:46] ok so i got ubuntu installed on my laptop. however, i had issue with the live disk freezing up and now it locks up even faster with the actual install. almost as soon as i log in it locks up [05:46] gpot a fresh install of xubuntu but i get no sound from the HDMI cable [05:46] at first i thought it was my video locking ubuntu up, but i went into recovery mode with failsafe graphics and it still happened. any suggestions? it completely locks up. no mouse movement nothing. sometimes the screen just goes purple with what looks like pinstripes [05:46] juk: usually up to the maintainer - ubuntu's policy is critical (as in security related) first, then bugs, which get pushed to proposed-updates [05:46] dosn't anyone have any idea [05:46] GeekSquid, im deleting backups of one day for 45 minutes now and i have left 70 more days to delete... ;/ this looks to be a task for several weeks just to delete something.. [05:47] I have followed a few threads about pulse audio and alsamixder but i still can not seam to get it to work [05:47] ill bet this zipperhead dragged his desktop icon into this thumb drive instead of dragging the files themselves [05:47] pw-toxic: must be one heck of an application/ data-store [05:47] UBUxUBU: check the size of the file. [05:48] pw-toxic: seems like using a diff based backup might better than backing up the whole thing everyday [05:48] GeekSquid, well i have a lot of webpages and all of them use Zend Framework.. one website has about 17k files ;)) [05:48] GeekSquid, i back up every hour ;)) [05:48] what font and size do you guys use for xchat ? [05:48] propertied say it had nothing on it [05:48] properties [05:48] pw-toxic: is there that much change from hour to hour [05:48] I have a question, im running ubuntu server 10.04, I cant seem to get openssh server to log (I have SyslogFacility AUTH and LogLevel VERBOSE, but when i login to ssh i dont get anytihng logged to /var/log/auth.log [05:48] r00t4rd3d: 8 [05:48] or 9 [05:48] sorry this is ubuntu chat i meant xubuntu sorry [05:49] GeekSquid, no but when i work and i accidently delete something or do something wrong, i know i have an backup i can use [05:49] Hi, is there any command line tool to reduce image size? [05:49] * skraito say hi all [05:49] pw-toxic: and how much space is your 250k files taking up? [05:49] xnixan: the imagemagik package has such tools [05:50] i think this brainiac buddy of mine tried to click and drag a desktop icon to a flash drive cos ubuntu says there is nothing on it [05:50] Dr_Willis, i will check it, thanks! [05:50] GeekSquid, hm not that much.. maybve 300MB or something? [05:50] GeekSquid: i see [05:51] i have an error while extracting virtual box extensions just gives me an error occured while extracting files [05:51] pw-toxic: then reiser-fs may be a good filesystem for you. should be faster that ext4 with so many files [05:51] pw-toxic: recommend making 2 copies, 1 testing, 1 live, make changes to the testing version revert to live when you f-up [05:51] ambrosius looks like i need to reorganize everything i have done so far ;) [05:52] i have an error while extracting virtual box extensions just gives me an error occured while extracting files [05:52] pw-toxic: you are developing on a linux box? most web guys have a mac [05:53] ambrosius, i'm developing on windows using eclipse writing my files via samba on my ubuntu file server ;) [05:53] Jeff72834: please take your question to #vbox ... a little better suited to that channel [05:53] pw-toxic: oh i see [05:53] oigan [05:53] alguien sabe como mandar pidgin a systray cuando le doy en cerrar?

[05:58] GeekSquid, well hourly backups work great for me using backintime.. the problem is: i had disabled the "smart remove" option of backintime and now i have hourly backups for the last 3 months... if I enable smart remove of backintime, backintime is stuck to do the smartremove.. it has been doing the smart remove for 2 days now... then i interrupted it manually [05:58] francisco, why should i know everyhting about monitors if i have 4 of them?! [05:59] pw-toxic: another thing (this is taught at the university level) every time you are about to change a file you rename the old file before editing === aaabbc is now known as skraito [05:59] GeekSquid, thats not useable.. i want to have it simple ;)) [05:59] waspw-toxic was just a felling :D [05:59] well .. simplicity is also on a university level ;) [05:59] i still can't get pass through 'unable to find a medium containing a live file system' [06:00] pw-toxic: nothing simple about a university [06:00] oh my fucking good.. rm -r 20101018* is stil running.. [06:00] Is there a channel like this for french? [06:00] for an hour or so [06:00] snake: #ubuntu-fr [06:00] pw-toxic, try rm -rf [06:01] speedy. [06:01] is "backintime" something like a Apple Timemachine clone? [06:01] pw-toxic: I have programmers who work for me who rename files and put daily changes in a folder religously [06:01] rm -rf is to erase a place with root prior [06:01] GeekSquid, maybe you should tell them to use SVN?! [06:01] francisco, i thought it forced it to delete right then and there. [06:02] francisco, and wasn't deleted but made unaccessible until it was overwritten, or recovered by a utility such as testdisk/ [06:02] .net [06:02] pw-toxic: and some of my guys are very secretive until they release to the SVN/bazaar, I allow that, because I pay for completed work not for incomplete mumbojumbo that doesn't fit into the downstream application [06:03] well [06:03] login as root and delete it [06:03] francisco, im always root ;) [06:03] sudo -s [06:03] then rm -R /place [06:03] francisco, i did... [06:04] pw-toxic: you know what they say "if you arn't root then you'll never learn anything" [06:04] francisco, but it has to test each file if there are still other files hard linking to this file.. for each of the 250k * 24 files [06:04] thats about 5 million files to check ;) [06:05] well [06:05] maybe u can use chmod 755 [06:06] francisco, what for? [06:06] lol my irc client (cooloquy) just made a bomb explosion sound when ccvp got banned [06:06] lol [06:06] melvinram, did it scare the crap outta ya? [06:06] i don'tknow [06:07] maybe u can acces that way [06:07] :D [06:07] i remember ccvp... i never remember him doing anything incredibly stupid. [06:07] must have really goofed it one day [06:07] snake: not really but it was kind of funny [06:07] francisco, i can access the files.. it just takes hours ;) [06:07] wearing headphones with you volume all the way up unknowingly. BOOM! wtf?!! [06:07] lol [06:07] that would happen to me. [06:08] snake: exactly [06:08] pw-toxic that's why I bought external hd [06:08] is very useful [06:08] francisco, what do external HD help with this? i have several external HD [06:08] well [06:08] they are for backups as well but on a different level [06:08] francisco, yeah if you wanna delete a file real fast you just smash it with a hammer and buy a new one. [06:08] I'm confused about ur trouble [06:09] francisco, he wants the file to go away faster. [06:09] melvinram: why are u using colloquy on a ubuntu chan? [06:09] pw-toxic, do ctrl-c, then rm -rf /path/file [06:09] francisco, my trouble is the following: i want to activate "smart remove" of backintime.. but when i activate it, it will probably take weeks to delete the old files via backintime and for all of these days, no backups are made [06:09] pw-toxic, nvm [06:10] pw-toxic, forget what i said lol. [06:10] FL-student, u use fl studio? [06:10] snake yeah thats eactly what im trying to do :D [06:10] snake: a lil [06:10] snake im on "rm -r 20101018*" for about an hour ;) [06:10] pw-toxic, wow.. [06:10] and i have 70 days left to remove :D [06:10] pw-toxic keep oon it [06:11] linux can do almost everything [06:11] GASP [06:11] ;D [06:11] IT FINISHED [06:11] !!!!!!

Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [06:14] rythimbox from repos [06:14] does it for me [06:14] pw-toxic: i think bash supports some syntax similer to that. but id be carefull with it.

Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [06:39] when I run update manager...it says "an unresolvable problem ocurred while initializing the package info...'E:type' .net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tualatrix-ppa--marerick.list' [06:39] Dr_Willis: Do I choose to boot from it at startup? And does it use grub? [06:40] Heet: i dont reccomend useing wubi at all. [06:40] Heet: it add an entry to the windows bootloader menus I think [06:40] Dr_Willis: he left [06:40] Dr_Willis: Well, I have currently 4 partitions on my machine. sda1,2,3,4. The OS is 3, and it is the only one I can shrink. [06:40] or use the rest for ubuntu on. [06:41] id use ubuntu in virtualbox. befor id use it in wubi. :) [06:41] Dr_Willis: Should I move partitions to make room for it at the end of the disk, or is it ok to install it in the middle? [06:41] when i open up Synpatic Package Manager, I got the same sort of error [06:41] Heet: it can go in the middle. [06:41] same thing in the terminal when I ran sudo apt-get update [06:41] cctx005: remove the ppa, seems it is causing problems [06:41] Dr_Willis: When i try to shrink it, it doesn't work. [06:41] how do you remove the ppa via the terminal? [06:41] It gets to the actual resizing, and it breaks. Ideas [06:42] ?* [06:42] that seems to be the only way i can [06:42] without an error [06:42] Heet: you can only have 4 primaries max. You could delete the thing I guess.. depends on the details [06:42] Dr_Willis: Won't Ubuntu work as a logical? [06:42] Heet: yes it can work as a logical. [06:42] And I'm not even making it a primary. I'm just making it unallocated data. [06:42] but you will want 2 partitions for uibuntu, a / and a swap [06:42] cctx005: sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tualatrix-ppa--maverick.list [06:43] 4 primaries max. one of those can be an exteded with logicals in it. [06:43] Dr_Willis: Won't / and swap both not be primaries? And does that even matter if my problem is shrinking the partition? [06:43] cctx005: then sudo apt-get update [06:45] GeekSquid, im currently testing how big my folder is i do backups of... still working, but im at 600 000 files with 60GB in total ;) [06:45] Dr_Willis: Haha, apparently dells have a partition called MEDIADIRECT so you can access media without loading an OS kernel. === stjohnmedrano is now known as Guest24341 [06:45] I guess I'll just kill that.

[07:24] for some reason unity is no longer showing up when i login. i finally got it to not lock up, but i can only go into desktop mode. i want netbook mode. also, if i run unity from desktop mode nothing comes up [07:24] rs0832 nah like WampServer its similar to xampp except the key feature is you can easily switch between php versions === Vobine is now known as Psychoholic [07:25] wait... i just got a segfault from unity that i ran in desktop mode [07:25] goddard, ah ok [07:27] * arvut i hate myself for failing at which im best at; repairing pc's :( how do i make it run again? it doesnt mount /sys anymore and kernel panics :/ [07:28] on 10.10x64 by default it appears that Firefox isn't handling JNLP files. anything special I need to do? Do I need to install the Sun JRE or can I use OpenJDK ? [07:28] arvut if you tell me how to get my touchpad to stop working in a way that doesn't require tools I will send a magical anti-fail spell [07:28] goddard, i only know of xampp, but if you want something that will give you a gui to select your php version and scripts and stuff, cherokee server comes with all that stuff, including python wsgi, etc [07:29] goddard, for screenshots: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=cherokee%20admin&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi [07:29] I've lost "software sources" from the administration menu, is there a way to get it back or is it obselete now? [07:29] 8 -r-sr-x--- 1 level2 level1 7500 2007-11-16 17:42 level01 [07:29] how would i run that? [07:30] atleast windows still boots.. so now I'll retire to bed with some more star trek and trance. thid problemsolving will have to continue tomorrow.. [07:30] goddard: lamp-server provides the same functionality as wamp, and xampp, yet native in its environment, perhaps if you describe what i you are trying to do, we can point you in the right direction [07:30] Guest73997: perhaps install synaptic, and access it fromt there. I dont see it in the menus here either [07:30] Guest73997, try creating a shortcut to: gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk [07:30] Guest73997: the canonical way to get to it is through the menus of Synaptic Package Manager or Software Centre. You can unhide the Software Sources icon itself by right-clicking the menu applet in the panel and clicking Edit Menus. [07:30] rs0832 oh sweet this might be what i need [07:31] goddard, :) hope so [07:31] ok thanks!! [07:31] gdoteof_home: sorry, no can do. and unless it comes with a 100% warranty then im not interested :( [07:31] could somebody help me with somthing real quick? === keith-_ is now known as keith- [07:32] !ask | hostile_^ [07:32] hostile_^: 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. :-) [07:32] Still get a blinking corner on the top left corner when I try to boot Windows XP. [07:32] Tally: sounds like a chainloader situation... look it up [07:32] wait... i just got a segfault from unity that i ran in desktop mode [07:33] anyone know of a reason or a way to figure out why unity is segfaulting? [07:33] 8 -r-sr-x--- 1 level2 level1 7500 2007-11-16 17:42 level01 how would i run that? [07:33] can it run when i have normal gnome running? [07:33] Tally: #windows may have some sugestions also. [07:33] arvut: it comes with %100 warranty, obviously [07:33] keith-: not at teh same time i think.. [07:33] honestly. my laptop is almost unusable [07:33] keith-: perhaps reinstall the unity binarys, seems like something is corrupted [07:34] GeekSquid: what packages? i just installed the netbook release [07:34] keith-: normally one selexts a normal gnome desktop, or the netbook itnerface at the login screen. [07:35] Dr_Willis: yeah if i choose the netbook interface nothing comes up. i just get a wallpaper and a mouse [07:35] hostile_^: Not sure what you are trying to run,,, describe please [07:37] could i reinstall ubuntu-netbook-default-settings or is that a meta package that won't make any changes? [07:37] geeksquid: im trying to access this but im not sure what command to use [07:37] I just installed sun-java6-bin package. where is the jre home directory? [07:37] hostile_^: what is it? [07:37] do i need to restart my computer, or just the x-server after uninstalling xserver-input-synaptics [07:39] well i'll give it another go brb [07:40] GeekSquid: to be honest with u im not really sure its for that smashthestack game i means its level 1 and im stuck [07:41] I currently am running ubuntu only right now, i want to dual boot ubuntu and windows xp for photoshop (tried virtual machines, and wine is just ghetto) am i correct in assuming that i cannot partition my drive for installing windows without formatting everything? [07:41] GeekSquid: i know what the different parts mean just not sure what im suppose to do with it [07:41] ok well it still doesn't start up unity when i choose to boot into the netbook stuff. is there a way i can start unity from the console and tell it which display to go to? [07:42] daniellopezific: yeah you can resize your drive using gparted or something similar. but you will need a linux livecd to reinstall grub. which will be much easier if you have a separate /boot directory [07:43] hostile_^: what you are playing is an ssh based game ... ssh -l level1 io.smashthestack.org -p 2224 will get you into the game .... everything else is game based ... you might want to read the faq's at smashthestack.org [07:43] keith, thanks for the quick tip, i really appreciate it. [07:44] GeekSquid: allright man thanks [07:44] god sakes how to disable touchpad [07:44] who else is compiling a kernel on an atom processor [07:44] what command do we run to run an installer file from terminal? [07:44] there is no way to designate unity open in a particular display from console? anyone? [07:45] yigal: you might wait to visit #ubuntu-kernel or #kernel [07:45] piyushmishra: what kind of file? [07:45] GeekSquid: awesome, that sounds like the right stuff [07:45] GeekSquid: TeX live install file [07:46] GeekSquid: am in the folder I have to run the install-tl file from terminal so that I can see the error before the window closes [07:46] piyushmishra: uh, don't you mean LaTeX ... you will need it installed to work with that kind of file [07:47] GeekSquid: I need to use LaTeX yes and I think its comes with TeX live as mentioned in their site [07:48] keith-: unity apears to be just a theme so if you create a new user from the console you will create a default theme and if you login to that you will have something you can use [07:49] piyushmishra: sudo apt-get install texlive .... this would be the ubuntu way of installing texlive [07:49] keith-: when you find a theme you like that is usable in that user you can copy it or move it to the user you want to be [07:49] GeekSquid: ok lemme try that [07:50] sacarlson: unity is a shell not a theme. and it's not starting. so i can't so much as right click. [07:50] GeekSquid: lol texlive site showed 2.5 meg of install ubuntu apt-get shows 217 meg!! [07:50] how to veiw the result of last clamscan scan? [07:50] piyushmishra, probably dependancies [07:50] piyushmishra: dependencies, you'll need those as well [07:51] keith-: so what will a new user have in it then if you have unity installed? [07:51] rs0832: GeekSquid yup [07:51] hhee;lp [07:51] AbhiJit: kya? [07:51] sacarlson: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/features <-- that [07:51] how to veiw the result of last clamscan scan?

[07:52] piyushmishra, never mind :D [07:52] :/ [07:52] rs0832: huh?

I'm trying to find where my sun-java home folder is [08:10] cryptodira: Hmm.. test with a live cd. see if has same issues. [08:11] gusg: you can examine the .deb to see where it installs tuff to. or use synaptic to check the packages properties.

[09:01] aaron11: often its a matter of 'versions' [09:01] aaron11: try it and see.. try the latest wine from the ppa's [09:02] falstaph: but if you want to resize your partitions you could boot a live cd and use gparted to shape them any way you want === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [09:02] does anyone know how to configure acer media keys for my acer5920g :< [09:02] Hi all :) I've just updated to 10.10 and I'm having an error Modprobe: FATAL: with a file "modules.deb" any ideas?

Is there any way I can backup all .deb package files, and Kernel updates so that I can restore them w/o downloading again? [09:23] h-dee: see whats in /var/cache/apt/ [09:23] arunkumar413: i guess i'm not sure what your asking...are you trying to burn a iso of ubuntu without using a cd? or doing the adding software sources? [09:24] r00t4rd3d, im guessing arunkumar413 wants a list of sorts as to what s/w is contained on that flavour of ubuntu... [09:24] Dr_Willis: Thanks, and what about Kernel updates? Or configuration settings for apps if possible? [09:24] he wants to add a iso image as a source [09:24] read [09:24] i did read [09:24] Us3r_Unfriendly: i want to add a new repository. the repository is in .iso image format. [09:24] h-dee: confuigs in user home are in their home.. other configs are whever they got set at/files you edited [09:24] "i want to add this iso image to the software sources" [09:24] but i conjured arunkumar413 's goal is what i described?? [09:25] Dr_Willis: Sorry, I didn't understand that. I'm newbie. [09:25] i was thinking when i moutned an alternative isntaller iso once.. it did ask to add it to the sources.. but i may be mistaken [09:25] h-dee: Your users seetings are in their Home dir. [09:25] arunkumar413: ? ? ? a ppa shouldn't be in a iso image...it should be a url [09:25] h-dee: other configs may be in /etc/ [09:25] Sound Problem. I cant get sound from built in speakers on my laptop. On Green Jack and Grey Jack when i plug in External Speakers or Headphones it works. I run a msi notebook with intel hda soundcard. Ubuntu 10.04 and alsa 1.0.21 driver. No sound from internal speakers. [09:26] Dr_Willis: And how about Kernel updates? [09:26] h-dee: see whats in /var/cache/apt/ [09:26] arunkumar413: i've seen other distros get a package to install a repo...but ubuntu or mint you'll use urls [09:26] the mic is not working on my acer aspire one with ubuntu 10.04 [09:26] ortsvorsteher, run alsamixer in a terminal [09:26] can someone help?

[09:26] run alsamixer in a terminal [09:27] alsamixer runs now in terminal r00t4rd3d [09:27] use your arrow keys and move all the sliders up [09:27] arunkumar413: or I guess you could mount the iso and then use the software sources to install from [09:27] arunkumar413: some programs come as debs that auto-add their own repos to the system to keep them updated. googles tuff does that and so do a few other apps. [09:27] all sliders eccept line & mic are up r00t4rd3d [09:27] can you read this? [09:27] we can read :) [09:28] Dr_Willis: Thanks!

[09:28] Dribble: what up [09:28] i'm tired of my screen going blank [09:28] Us3r_Unfriendly: i think first i should mount the iso image [09:28] arunkumar413: you know how? [09:28] h-dee: some of them may be out dated and redundant.. so i suggest just copying them to your new cache dir.. then doing normal apt-get update/upgrade/installs of what you need [09:28] !clone | h-dee [09:28] h-dee: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [09:28] ShapeShifter499, press F4 [09:28] nothing is muted Us3r_Unfriendly [09:28] it was fixed by an update then I updated again and it came back [09:29] h-dee: if a newer package is int eh repos it will download it.. if its alrleady in teh cache - it wont.

Maybe specify what you mean by smoothly? [09:33] ortsvorsteher, it should say Mute if your sound is on , not unmuted [09:33] adz_: read from wikipedia? [09:33] you can click mute/unmuted to change it [09:33] adz_: Ubuntu is made by Canonical, which is owned by Mark Shuttleworth. [09:33] adz_: a group of Debian developers led by Mark Shuttleworth, yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(philosophy)#Definition , yes [09:34] r00t4rd3d, sound is on and i see there an option to mute it [09:34] r00t4rd3d, skype is not working with my mic [09:34] oh, thank you. for the answer. i am new to irc. are you guys privating me? why are you texts show up in yellow? [09:34] i use opera browser irc client. [09:34] adz_: because we put your name at the start of the message [09:34] Us3r_Unfriendly: sudo mount -o loop /home/arunkumar/ubuntuiso /mnt/ .is ubuntuiso is the name of the iso image [09:34] rww, thank you, now do you see yellow. [09:35] adz_: yes [09:35] cool. [09:35] it's debian. very good. [09:35] arunkumar413: yes use what ever the ubuntu iso is called [09:35] arunkumar413: i don't know off the top of my head [09:35] been using redhat/fedora for 7 years. then i can't take it anymore. the updates are crazy.

[09:36] Us3r_Unfriendly: just double clicking the iso image mounted it [09:36] well, i ain't new to debian. been running knoppix on a stick for a year now. [09:36] adz_: type in Us3 and hit tab [09:36] r00t4rd3d, i think it is because my hda chip is not supported. it is an ALC1200 Intel Soundcard HDA. May there is an option not inserted in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. but i have no idea which one [09:37] Us3r_Unfriendly: Us3r_Unfriendly great thank you. [09:37] adz_: It's based on Debian and syncs from there at the start of every release cycle, then adds changes on top. [09:37] Us3r_Unfriendly: Us3r_UnfriendlyI should have learned this in 1995. [09:37] arunkumar413: wow that is easy...where'd it mount it to? /media/ ? [09:37] adz_: no problem [09:38] rww: so why the name ubuntu, doctor? [09:38] adz_: no idea [09:38] Mark Shuttleworth's South African, maybe he just heard it and liked it. [09:38] it sounds african. which is not bad, i mean. [09:38] adz_: . It is named after the Southern African philosophy of Ubuntu ("humanity towards others").[7] [09:38] rww ohh. [09:38] adz: "Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'. It also means 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu operating system brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the world of computers." [09:39] gobbe: thank you that's good if you are not in the politics. [09:39] http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu [09:39] Us3r_Unfriendly: dont know where it got mounted. But the mounted folder is on the desktop [09:39] r00t4rd3d, i think it is because my hda chip seems not to be supported. it is an ALC1200 Intel Soundcard HDA. May there is an option not inserted in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. but i have no idea which one [09:40] arunkumar413: well i'm guessing if you have a article on how to add to software sources you'll need to know where it's mounted [09:40] Us3r_Unfriendly: the location is archive://file%253A%252F%252F%252Fhome%252Farun%252FDesktop%252Fubuntustudio-10.10-alternate-i386.iso/ [09:40] hey i want to know how free domain is useful to owner [09:40] el_seano: I just mean, run it with no prob [09:40] arunkumar413: that's not the location [09:41] hi all! [09:41] ortsvorsteher, pm [09:41] arunkumar413: that's where your gnome nautilus location on your desktop is [09:41] when i press ctrl+l this is the location it shows [09:41] i read that r00t4rd3dthx [09:41] can ask about Wifi problems on laptop& [09:42] Us3r_Unfriendly: then tell me how to find the mount point [09:42] how it is profitable... [09:42] can some good people do me a favor and just send one private msg to me. i am not testing my opera. thansk in adv. (the notification feature of opera) [09:42] rickmasta: To give you perspective, I have one of the earlier N270 Atom netbooks with a 1GB of RAM. It runs Ubuntu just fine; I can even play Minecraft on this thing. [09:42] I paid $270 for it in 2009. [09:43] ShapeShifter499, PM [09:43] arunkumar413: sudo mount -l works nicely...also sudo lshw [09:43] el_seano: I think we have the same CPU and RAM. I was surprised at minecraft running on mine :) [09:43] hello [09:43] Us3r_Unfriendly: when i click on places. The mounted file is shown under network [09:43] hi [09:43] arunkumar413: also i'm not to wrattle your cage but how did you double click it and mount it in ubuntu? [09:43] rww: I know right! I mean, it's not pretty and I get maybe 10fps if I'm lucky, but it's enough to get my fix [09:44] solo_: can you send me a private msg, i am testing my opera browser private msg notification feature. just one, please. [09:44] Us3r_Unfriendly: i just doubled the iso image file on the desktop. just below it there was a folder [09:44] hi [09:45] did someone send me anything, nothing happens. [09:45] anyone ...tell me why free domain is profitable [09:45] arunkumar413: you'll either use a iso mounter like "Furious Mount" or just from a terminal...otherwise you'll need to put it on a cd or a usb device [09:45] I've problem with Google Chrome on Ubuntu 10.10, as (some) Arabic text shows `white small box` instead of each character, Any ideas ? [09:45] Us3r_Unfriendly: i want to do it in terminal [09:45] egsome: i won't be the test bed for a for profit company. it's buggy, has problems. [09:45] egsome: max out it's a beta [09:46] arunkumar413: you are using ubuntu 10.04+ right? [09:46] Help! I have no sound in Ubuntu 10.04 (it's not muted, speakers are on). Ubuntu sees my onboard sound : http://pastebin.com/RuiW6LJ1 but still nothing comes out of the speakers. Any suggestions? [09:46] adz_, I didn't face any problems with it, but this one. [09:46] Us3r_Unfriendly: yes, 10.10 [09:46] egsome: but you should try opera. [09:46] Help me with Wifi 44:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) [09:46] adz_, Using it for many months till now [09:46] Us3r_Unfriendly: just tell me how to know the mount point [09:46] egsome: it takes years to make a browser. and google has been to optimistic about it. [09:47] adz_, I'd consider your suggestion, but Can you help in this problem ? [09:47] solo__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx , do the "Installing STA drivers" section [09:47] egsome: what's the prob again? i manage to run chrome in chroot a few days ago. [09:47] solo__: (there are two drivers for bcm43xx cards, wl/sta and b43. b43 doesn't work with bcm4312) [09:48] rww: I tried all manuals but it don't help me [09:48] solo__: considering that I have that card and followed those instructions and it worked, this seems odd. [09:48] hey folks! [09:48] arunkumar413: sudo mount -l and it'll say towards the bottom [09:48] solo__: only hint I have on top of that link is to shut down your computer completely and then start it back up once you've gotten the right drivers installed. If you tried to set up b43 and its firmware, it can cause odd issues until shutdown. [09:49] (and I mean shutdown, not reboot) [09:49] rww, is there a difference betweem sta and b43 ? [09:49] r00t4rd3d: STA/wl is the non-free-software driver, b43 is a community-developed free driver [09:49] whats better ? [09:49] anyone who might help with a nforce2 chip sound problem? [09:50] r00t4rd3d: different ones work on different cards. when b43 used to work on my bcm4312, it had worse speeds and better features (e.g. promiscuous mode). whereas, wl is more dependable for me. [09:50] Us3r_Unfriendly: this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/549475/ [09:50] egsome: can you send me a private message [09:50] Ive been using the STA but I see my card is supported for the b43 too :/ [09:50] egsome: if you do, i will give you my script to set up a chroot env on knoppix [09:50] r00t4rd3d: if the STA's working fine, I'd stick with it [09:51] rww: My driver b43 is working partially and fully sta does not work [09:51] konfuzius: here is the thing with linux. it has all the goodies, if you HW is not supported. change to other HW. [09:51] Dr_Willis: Sorry to interrupt again...but is there anything else which you should be back'd up apart from config directories/files in Home, and apt files from /var/cache/apt? [09:51] solo__: well, I gave you the instructions and the thing about shutting down, so you know what I know now. Broadcom cards are a pain. [09:51] no i guess it is supported. at least it had sound input before reinstall :) [09:52] and i find the device in the hardware list, but it won't play any sound. i guess its just a matter of drivers [09:52] konttori_work: upgrade sometimes "fail" your hardware. the experience i have with linux for years is: look forward. take what you have and forget about what you don't. save time. also make linux working for u meaning. actually, it's mature now. [09:53] arunkumar413: how did you mount iso ? [09:53] arunkumar413: your "sr0" is your physical cd/dvd drive. terminal: cd /media/45a7536c-fc24-4db3-8897-84697e4a9dbe and the type: ls -a [09:53] how do i burn an img image to a usb memory? [09:54] solo__: I don't do technical support in PM [09:54] arunkumar413: what is in there? [09:54] Hi...I was going to re-install Ubuntu, and so I took the backup of complete Home folder (will config files etc), and /var/cache/apt. Do I need to back-up anything else? [09:55] Us3r_Unfriendly: it got lost+found [09:55] h-dee: /etc-folder might be also one thing to backup [09:55] arunkumar413: okay...that's not it [09:55] gobbe: Thanks. What's exactly in it? just for knowledge. [09:55] PhilT: i just double clicked the iso image to mount [09:56] rww: sorry [09:56] np [09:56] I can't find where it mounts them using isomount either. Tried from command line ? [09:56] arunkumar413: type: cd then: sudo mount -o loop /home/your-username/and-path-to-the-iso /mnt/ [09:57] all actions with sta drivers for lapto hp 4720s - false [09:57] which twitter client to use for ubuntu? [09:57] gobbe: There? [09:58] sacarlson private msg me plz [09:58] Is anyone a wiz with fixing sound issues? Ubuntu sees my sound card but I still get no sound. Note this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/CnvAfTDU ... any help would be appreciated [09:59] I could be 100% wrong...but without a iso mounting client already installed on ubuntu, I don't think you just can mount an iso from double clicking on it [09:59] Hi...I was going to re-install Ubuntu, and so I took the backup of complete Home folder (will config files etc), and /var/cache/apt.

[10:57] toastedhip it's another linux distro, but let's stop talking about this on #ubuntu [10:57] abhishekpathak: ok,solved.thanx [10:57] abhishekpathak: can u help me how a add a iso image as a repository [10:57] See http://www.ccpo.odu.edu/Research/globec/main_cruises02/lmg0205/pod/POD11sept.htm [10:58] I need some help with configure [10:59] I'm getting No package 'fontconfig' found [10:59] ToastedHip: gentoo is a distro that when you install, after your done with the install...your greeted with a tty screen and then it's kernel compiling time. basically that guy just wanted to look cool...truth gentoo isn't that hard after using Ubuntu for a few years and getting comfortable with a terminal [10:59] Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS [10:59] and FONTCONFIG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. [10:59] See the pkg-config man page for more details. [11:01] I've tried exporting the PGK_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to /usr/lib and /usr/lib/pkgconfig but I still get the same error. [11:01] Can anyone help? [11:03] have problems with my graphics card. i did lspci and i can see the card. but its not in system > preferences > Monitors. i need some advice on what todo next [11:04] whats the card [11:04] Is there a good program for Linux that allows me to rearrange my music library (retrieve song names, albums, cover arts etc) ? [11:04] GrassMonkey: As far as I know, graphics cards do not show up in System > Preferences > Monitors, only monitors do. [11:04] anyone need any general troubleshooting? [11:05] what problems are you having? [11:05] r00t4rd3d, pro ,ptopm at24 i think. its a very old pci card from the 90s. there also stealth video and dimon mutimedia printed on the board as well [11:05] Is there a good program for Linux that allows me to rearrange my music library (retrieve song names, albums, cover arts etc) ? [11:05] hidnshadows: yes please [11:05] I need some help with configure [11:05] I'm getting No package 'fontconfig' found [11:05] Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS [11:05] scotty^ and I think you said earlier that you looked for it in the repos, right? [11:06] umm, no [11:06] Ardethian: take a look at this - it helped me: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/313562-weekend-project-spring-clean-your-music-library [11:06] I did a search in my filesystem [11:06] thanks yeats :) [11:06] how can i do the effects here at my desktop? like the cube revolving thing? [11:06] scotty^ try looking for it in the repos [11:06] and tried setting the PGK_CONFIG_PATH environment variable [11:06] there is a few names on the card: pro motion aT25, Stealth Video 2500 PCI, Diamond Multimedia Systems [11:06] scotty^: use "apt-cache policy fontconfig" to see if the package "fontconfig" is actually installed [11:06] to /usr/lib and to /usr/lib/pkgconfig [11:07] but I still get the same error [11:07] scotty^: if not, do "sudo apt-get install fontconfig" [11:07] how can i configure the card or check if the drivers are installed or working [11:07] <`marianne`> on my mac, i can take a playlist in itunes and burn it as an mp3 CD, with all the mp3s of that playlist copied to the CD (presumably with the playlist's "track" number prefixed to the filename)... is there any way to do that sort of thing in ubuntu? [11:08] Synaptic shows fontconfig 2.8.0-2ubuntu1 as being installed by default. [11:08] heyyyo [11:08] abhishekpathak: the iso image is mounted plz help me to add it to repository [11:08] GrassMonkey, what version of ubuntu ? 10.10 i386 ? [11:08] GrassMonkey: What make and model of card did you say it is? [11:08] heyyo please explain the topic clearly [11:09] r00t4rd3d, 10.10 i386 [11:09] `marianne`: in rhythmbox, you should be able to right click on a playlist and burn to CD... [11:09] tejuu I'm not sure I understand [11:09] tejuu: #ubuntu is for technical support with Ubuntu Linux [11:09] <`marianne`> thanks yeats, i'll try :) [11:09] gibran: like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHg5E3nh6Rs&hd=1 [11:09] title: Ubuntu Test 2 with compiz and new rendering profile [11:09] description: Ubuntu Test 2 with compiz and new rendering profile [11:10] scotty^, not sure very old PCI card from the 90s with the following printed on the board: Pro Motion aT24, Stealth Video 2500 PCI and Diamond Multimedia [11:10] fnord http://google.com/ [11:10] i c tell me the url to know much more about it [11:10] tejuu: http://ubuntu.com/, though based on your hostmask, it looks like you're already using it :) [11:10] i thought GIMP was invented for Ubuntu. like it was your best buddy. now GIMP is gone? i have it installed but i want better GIMP and that happens by ubuntu realizing gimp is your friends and must be developed on [11:11] yea but am a newbie [11:11] I've also just tried exporting /usr/bin but that didn't work either. [11:11] yes like that! how? :) [11:11] gibran: it's called compiz [11:11] toastedhip amen man [11:12] <`marianne`> ew... i tried getting rhythmbox to load the playlist file and it's loading very slowly and in completely the wrong order, bunching tracks by the same artist all together [11:12] GrassMonkey: It sounds like you have a Diamond Stealth card. I think these had NVIDIA chips but I could be wrong - I'll check now. [11:13] `marianne`: you might try another player? [11:13] interesting [11:13] !players | `marianne` [11:13] `marianne`: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [11:13] ToastedHip: Unfortunately, it had to be removed from the LiveCD because it takes up too much space. You can still install it manually, though. [11:13] gibran: terminal: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [11:13] <`marianne`> thanks yeats, i'll see if any of them can burn an mp3 CD [11:13] scotty^, thanks [11:13] GrassMonkey, pm [11:14] Us3r_Unfriendly: i mounted the iso file in/media/ubuuntustudio10.10. now how to add it to the repository [11:14] <`marianne`> rhythmbox doesn't actually seem to have a burn disc option anyway [11:14] GrassMonkey, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36549907/xserver-xorg-video-apm_1.2.2-1_i386.deb [11:14] install that and see what happens [11:15] arunkumar413: what exactly are you trying to install??? [11:15] Good morning. Do you need to download the .iso for Ubuntu 10.04.1 to install it with Wubi or does Wubi install the .iso? [11:15] wubi will download it [11:15] you should use 10.10 [11:15] Us3r_Unfriendly: i'm not trying to install. i'm trying to add ubuntustudio repository which is in iso image format [11:15] But Wubi says that it's download 10.04, so I don't think I can change that. [11:15] bustedup277 think twice about using wubi though, just make sure that it's really what you want [11:15] r00t4rd3d, what is it? the most important thing for me is understand the proccess on how to fix the problem rather. could you expline a lil about what this is and how you came to this conclusion [11:16] Why should I think twice? [11:16] arunkumar413: but why are you trying to add their repo????? [11:16] arunkumar413: all the packages they have, we have in are repos [11:16] I googled the jumble of numbers about your video card +ubuntu [11:16] *our [11:16] Us3r_Unfriendly: i want to install the packages of ubuntu studio === _dev_null_ is now known as _dev_zero_ [11:17] Doesn't Wubi leave Windows 7 as your default OS and still leaves your files so nothing gets lost? [11:17] and that got me here : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man4/apm.4.html [11:17] bustedup277 is there any specific reason that you're want to run it from inside the windows environment? [11:17] OK, looks like most of the Diamond Stealth cards used S3 chips, although a few used other chips like Tseng Labs and Rendition Verite. [11:17] arunkumar413: why don't you just either install the packages you want or just install Ubuntu stucdio? [11:17] *studio ...sorry my cat is in my face now [11:17] Us3r_Unfriendly: my net connection is a dialup connection [11:18] bustedup277: Yes, but running Ubuntu inside Wubi is more fragile than running it in its own space, because if anything goes wonky with either Ubuntu or Windows, Ubuntu breaks. [11:18] Hmm [11:18] bustedup277 it's your choice really, just BACK YOUR STUFF UP [11:18] arunkumar413: and...? [11:18] Someone recommended it to my though, because whenever I tried to install it with a USB it would just freeze. [11:18] :/ [11:19] Us3r_Unfriendly: i already i have too many OS along side 10.10 [11:19] Wait, so could Wubi with Ubuntu mess up my whole computer or just Ubuntu? [11:19] How do I prevent "Desktop" folder from regenerating? [11:19] u dont you need it [11:20] www why would you want to, jsut wondering [11:20] arunkumar413: your not making -any- sence to me [11:20] bustedup277: as long as you back up, all should be fine [11:20] bustedup277: 10.04 is fine, btw - it's supported until 2013 [11:20] ok [11:21] is it youbuntu or oobuntu? [11:21] hidnshadows: I don't use desktop per se so the directory is useless (sorry for my wrighting - hven't got the time to config irssi). [11:21] adz_ depends on your nationality, I always say oobuntu [11:21] arunkumar413: delete ubuntu and install ubuntu studio or just look in the repos: sudo apt-cache serach ubuntustudio <----way easier [11:21] i say you-buntu [11:21] theres a prompt after the python installed what do i type? [11:22] hidnshadows: what the native would pronounce it overrules. ;) [11:22] www the desktop folder needs to exist. You can hide it I guess if it's annoying, and if you have OCD [11:22] adz_: Wikipedia says to pronounce it "oobuntu". [11:22] gibran: y for yes [11:22] bustedup277: that's what i thought. but the native sound is probably no available in englihs phonetics [11:22] hidnshadows: How do hide it? What is OCD? [11:22] Us3r_Unfriendly: i just want to add the iso image of ubuntustudio to my repos. i mounted the iso image. just tell me how to add now. my net connection is very slow.i cant download the ubuntustudio packpages and i dont want to install ubuntu studio as a separate OS as i already have too many OS along side ubuntu 10.10. [11:22] adz_ and wikipedia is right 95.237% of the time. Axctually I read that on wikipedia [11:22] GrassMonkey: try the suggestion from r00t4rd3d and if that doesn't work try using Synaptic Package Manager to install the xserver-xorg-video-s3virge, xserver-xorg-video-s3 and xserver-xorg-video-savage packages [11:22] already typed it, then theres a prompt [11:23] ocd is obsessive compulsive disorder [11:23] www not sure, and it's obsessive-compulsive disorder. Basically everything has to be the same way [11:23] hey [11:23] r00t4rd3d: thanks for expaining. [11:23] hidnshadows: too sad they have to appeal to the mass for money. sometimes i wish i were abdula bin abdula aziz and make the right choice of my money ;) [11:23] gibran: for both ccsm and the extra packages? [11:23] why alsaconf command doesnt work in ubuntu [11:23] i want to configure alsa because there is no sound [11:23] yes [11:24] So does anyone knows how to "hide" the desktop folder? [11:24] ay_, try running alsamixer in a term [11:24] gibran: better yet just open up Ubuntu Software Center and search for compiz....add the extra and "ccsm" [11:24] already typed i. Y for yes. then theres this prompt after processing triggers for python-central... [11:24] arunkumar413: see this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4694/how-to-use-a-iso-image-as-a-cd-rom-repository [11:24] compiz is a waste. no flame. no. no. no. no. no [11:24] ohoh ok [11:24] r00t4rd3d, everything looks good [11:25] r00t4rd3d, but there is no sound [11:25] adz_: compiz is not completely a waste...looks sweet on my rig [11:25] adz_: and i'm all command line [11:25] Us3r_Unfriendly: that means you are too young. ;) [11:25] it's just for show [11:25] BRB, if it's life-threatening or free pizza I give you permission to PM me [11:25] what is the matter [11:25] adz_: lol sure I guess [11:25] this makes desktop beautiful [11:26] compiz makes desktop cool :D [11:26] hidnshadows: Any other ideas? [11:26] ay_, +1 [11:26] Synaptic shows fontconfig 2.8.0-2ubuntu1 as being installed by default. [11:26] cute, but useless [11:27] Hello. Can I apt-get install alternate-installer? I am using the desktop CD but VNC is going really, really slow for some reason and I would prefer to install over SSH [11:27] adz_: but let me ask you this...if compiz is a complete waste of time...why are you using ubuntu? I mean it's about using something unique in it's own way. you could aways go arch or gentoo [11:27] sjuxax: you have to download the .iso file - no way to apt-get [11:27] and I have compiz in arch too [11:27] sjuxax: you can get alternative installer iso and boot from it [11:28] Us3r_Unfriendly: i am not using ubuntu, but definitely debian. i am running knoppix. [11:28] sjuxax: i dont really get what vnc has to do with installer?= [11:28] I can't boot from the ISO because I am trying to install remotely, so I can't place the media. [11:28] sjuxax: so how do you boot? [11:28] adz_: debian is a good one too if you want to stay with apt-get [11:28] I suggest making the alternate installer an installable package, I don't see any point in not doing that [11:28] scotty^ unfortunately no, make sure that you have it spelled correctly is all [11:28] Us3r_Unfriendly: i guss i have this weird good chemistry with lone-man's distro of linux, i started out with slackware in 1995 [11:29] adz_: i guess than your a old man [11:29] It's already booted, I set up SSH and VNC on it, and want the install completed before I shut it down [11:29] ok, thanks [11:29] sjuxax: aah, that's not possible [11:29] scotty^, sorry mate [11:29] Us3r_Unfriendly: not old. but not young any more ;) [11:29] he y any command to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 [11:30] anyone experience with freebsd [11:30] juniour, update-manager -d [11:30] ay_: #freebsd [11:30] Us3r_Unfriendly: i my early years, i run xdaliclock all the time with my desktop changes shape with seconds. ;) [11:30] juniour, and you can see a warning new version is available [11:30] gobbe: Not possible to complete the install remotely? I don't really mean "totally completed", if there's your little welcome/config screen or finishing up afterward that's fine. I just want to get most of the install done remotely so I can be in and out when I get on-site tomorrow. [11:31] adz_: well slackware was designed in '91 so that's old [11:31] sjuxax: yes, but you cannot run alternative-installer from desktop [11:31] Us3r_Unfriendly: i got my first pc in 95, so. [11:31] test [11:31] mmm [11:31] ping [11:32] my router is amikrotik and supports bootp in the dhcp server, all I have to do is provide a file [11:32] !ping [11:32] ping-pong, a fun game for all the family [11:32] xdaliclock is still available in the repos :D [11:32] Us3r_Unfriendly: $2000 packard-bell pentium 75 with no monitor ;) [11:32] Us3r_Unfriendly: adz_ use the #ubuntu-offtopic for social chat please [11:32] would be nice to have a linux pxe server running at all times [11:32] gobbe: Yes, that's unfortunate. It'd be much nicer if the alternate installer were included. [11:32] oCean: ok. [11:32] sjuxax: well it's quite impossible because source media is totally different there [11:32] sjuxax: if you compare it to "live" desktop [11:33] oCean: but this forum feels warmer. ;) [11:33] hi [11:33] adz_: never mind him [11:33] he didn't read the whole thing adz_ [11:33] I was wondering who he was [11:33] Us3r_Unfriendly: no biggie, don't mention it [11:33] gobbe: Hmm, well, I'm not very familiar with the internals, but I don't see why a text installer and a "live" environment can't co-exist [11:34] The live environment isn't the thing installed afaik [11:34] hey [11:34] i.e., the environment with alterations made on the live session [11:34] ay_ when i am updating i am not getting sprrd y? [11:34] i'm searching for a way to connect to a wlan without the nm-applet. want to use i3 as wm and got no toolbar ... [11:34] ay_ sr speed [11:34] sjuxax: no, but alternative installer includes much more and it's impossible to fit them both on cd [11:34] Can I extend my ubuntu partition in ubuntu? [11:34] just message me instead...some ppl get real upset reading about other things in this chat that aren't diehard ubuntu conversation...I just wish these ppl were more helpful and not like those types of ops out there [11:34] is there a tool for with cli-only? [11:34] galaxyAbstractor: if it's lvm partition then you can [11:35] lvm? [11:35] temal: what are you looking for exactly? [11:35] Us3r_Unfriendly: just abide by the channel rules please [11:35] gobbe: Right, but you can include that actual installation program, right? Why does the curses installer take so much more space? Even if we install the normal live packages, the installation program should work OK. [11:35] sjuxax: maybe in the furture just make a remastersys of what you really want on your remote system and send them the iso for that to boot [11:35] want to connect to wifi' from the shell [11:35] without X [11:36] sjuxax: because method is not same for graphical [11:36] hey when i am upgrading or downloading packeges from ubuntu i do not get the speed y ? any ans [11:36] temal: you can use the carious ifconfg/ iwconfig tools. [11:37] man, didn't thought about that. thanks a lot ;) [11:37] hey when i am upgrading or downloading packeges from ubuntu i do not get the speed y ? any ans [11:37] galaxyAbstractor: does sudo lvs say anything? [11:37] !patient | juniour [11:38] I don't really understand a good reason still, but OK, I can discuss that later I guess [11:38] juniour, add the servers closest to you geographically [11:38] juniour: you can change your default mirror in your software sources [11:38] how [11:38] already have it. but how do i get it to work? [11:38] ? [11:38] to do it [11:38] pls explainn [11:38] ? [11:38] juniour: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:38] k [11:38] I want to buy an external 3TB hard drive and connect it via USB for backup purposes. does Ubuntu have similar problems accessing drives > 2 TB, as Windows does? [11:39] juniour, synaptic preferences [11:39] loser149: no [11:39] I am installing on an older machine and the environment and installer is really slow -- should I use Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu? I needed the live environment but I may just take the alternate CD and install from that so that I can get something there. [11:39] gobbe, I'm not on ubuntu right now, I'm just asking because I have shrinked my windows partition because it was too large, and I want to extend that space to my backup partition, but the ubuntu partition is between the unallocated space and the backup partition [11:39] sjuxax, you can tru xubuntu or lubuntu [11:39] but now I am done with the live part and just trying to install; this isn't working very well, however [11:39] gibran: right click desktop and go to change background > visual effects and enable the extra box === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [11:40] Will GNOME run just as poorly from the disk? Not sure what to make of that. metacity crashes, etc. [11:40] sjuxax, have patience , its a one time thing :) [11:40] abhishekpatha i am not getting u exp step by step pls [11:40] gobbe: how do you know? I thought it was more a hardware issue with HBAs and such? [11:40] sjuxax: there are total automated install methods that might make things run smother [11:40] juniour, default ubuntu comes with gnome as the desktop environment [11:40] so I was thinking of making that unallocated space my backup partition, then remove the current backup partition and extend my ubuntu partition with that space, because I only got like 2GB left on the ubuntu partition [11:40] abhishekpathak: I don't even get as far as the actual installation. [11:41] gibran: then go to system>preferences>compizconfig-setting-manager [11:41] there are other variations [11:41] Hi all. I'm a new linux user (and using ubuntu). I want to install jmol which is a java applet but there are no informations about that on ubuntu forum. There is some command line to install a debian package from a new repo but it seems not to work with ubuntu: http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Debian [11:41] I just wish that alternate installer came on live cd. Then, when this was going slowly, I could have just canned the whole VNC thing and done it all over SSH, which is working fine [11:41] xubuntu uses xfce and lubuntu uses lxde which are faster and minimal resource hungry [11:41] gibran: or "ALT F2" and type in ccsm [11:41] hi there [11:42] abhishekpatha i am using 10.04 [11:42] sjuxax, can you explain your problem in detail [11:42] but VNC has much heavier requirements, the pipes at both ends aren't very thick, and VNC seems to be really slow running out of the already-crammed RAM and CD. [11:42] juniour, yes xubuntu and lubuntu also have the same version numbers [11:42] sjuxax: if your already able to ssh into it there are also methods to install from that point, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html [11:42] !it | Djrazer1988 [11:42] Djrazer1988: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [11:42] My problem is that I can't do anything because there is no way to get a non-graphical installer on the Live CD. [11:42] abhishekpatha how to change [11:42] anybody knows wich font is used by the xterm console? this font is like Sun console font :) i try to rememeber his name, but oops [11:42] currently the partitions are placed like this: http://pixomania.net/pics/5hkb6a.png [11:42] i am getting 15kb/s speed [11:43] not more than that [11:43] juniour, you can search for xubuntu and download the live cd there [11:43] juniour, i am afraid speed is another issue [11:43] or would it be easier to just remove the ubuntu partition, and fix the partitions correctly this time, then reinstall ubuntu? [11:43] asker: you mean the 'console' or the 'xterm' program? [11:43] asker: been using 10x20: xterm -fn 10x20 [11:43] juniour, i am advising you regarding a lightweight and fast environment [11:43] asker: big, very big. ;) [11:43] but when i am doing youtube i am getting excellent speed [11:43] juniour, speed depends on entirely different factors [11:44] sjuxax, why do you want a non graphical installer? [11:44] y am i getting low speed? [11:44] juniour, download speed will depend on the mirrors [11:45] wubi forgot to configure grub for the ubuntu root.disk . I am familiar with grub booting kernel from a regular partition but what does the cofig supposed to look like for booting from a root.disk that is stored on NTFS? [11:45] if you are getting high speed means speed at your end is okay [11:45] with other sites it fine [11:45] the mirror is not giving good speed [11:45] yes [11:45] xterm [11:45] try changing the mirror list [11:45] what do I set for root, and how do I mount a loop device? [11:45] how to change that [11:45] I want to buy an external 3TB hard drive and connect it via USB for backup purposes. does Ubuntu have similar problems accessing drives > 2 TB, as Windows does? [11:45] Dr_Willis, when i starts xterm i see this font ) [11:46] I have a logitech usb headset that is super quiet...

[12:41] console [12:41] in bash, first do: windowid=`xdotool search --title "..."` [12:41] where ... is the title of the window you want to perform actions on [12:41] then do: xdotool windowactivate $windowid [12:41] and then, for example: xdotool key space [12:41] * azizLIGHTS takes notes [12:41] that'll send a space to that window with title ... [12:42] it can do mouse actions, keyboard actions, lots of cool stuff [12:42] gobbe, No luck? I haven't found anything in a while. [12:42] Ever since upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 my gnome-panel doesn't start up correctly about 90% of the time. I always have to "killall gnome-panel" in order to see it properly. Is there anyway I can fix it so it starts up correctly each time? [12:42] norbert_: Try running virtualbox from a console and see if you get any errors while creating the vHD [12:42] Rypervenche: you could reset the panel to defaults [12:42] !resetpanel [12:42] langvann: will do [12:42] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:43] Dr_Willis: What exactly does that do? Will I have to reset all of the applications? [12:43] how can i install ubuntu in usb flash drive sir ? [12:43] langvann: no errors showing up, too bad...

[12:49] Israfel: hmmh, and sorry. It's working [12:49] Israfel: try to add it from your home folder [12:49] Israfel: just browse there and select it, like that i was able to use it [12:50] what the heck? Just as you said that.... And withough doing anything, it showed up on it's own... After an hour of trying to get it working... [12:51] Dr_Willis: I reset my panel and my theme was changed. Is that normal? [12:52] gobbe, Maybe gtm needed a refresh? it's odd though, because the Launcher properties never showed the icon as being selected, using any other icon worked though. [12:53] Rypervenche, Are you running any type of window decorator? Sometimes when you reset it doesn't get loaded.

[13:05] bustedup277: how do you connect to internet? [13:05] god I hate Rhythmbox [13:05] oh i think i have an idea why this is not working .. i have something called vbetool install .. it says that it deal with the video card resuming and sleeping ectect ,,, [13:06] gobbe: Yeah, because whenever I try to connect to my networks, they are not there. I know I have a router in my room, and there are lots of routers in this apartament. This my first time using Ubuntu, btw. === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [13:06] how do i check in ubuntu if i have software installed [13:06] bustedup277:so are you using wlan or what? [13:06] Umm it's a router [13:06] ._. [13:06] Wireless [13:06] hard wired? [13:07] k [13:07] bustedup277: ok, so you are accessing it wireless? [13:07] wlan [13:07] Trying to.

[13:07] how do i check in ubuntu if i have software installed [13:07] there normally none [13:07] bustedup277: what is model and make of your wlan-card in computer? [13:08] I don't know... [13:08] I'm connected to the internet right now on Windows on the same computer, so there is nothing wrong with my internet. [13:08] campbellgolf, basically I've been spending time learning to use LAMP (which is why I installed Ubuntu in the first place) and I really am surprised at how much progress I've made and how incredibly simple a lot of it is. My friend though, has Visual Studio on his laptop and the things it can do really spun my head .. very very powerful (though I don't understand the "" syntax yet. I was wondering if there is still a place f [13:08] or simple html-php-mysql-javascript work in the professional web dev world? [13:08] bustedup277, might already be loaded...checked network manager? [13:08] bustedup277: using windows hardweare manager tools determine what kind of network card you have. [13:08] What? [13:09] how do i check in ubuntu if i have software installed [13:09] does anyone know how to install moovida as it will not install as it cant install moovida bad/ugly [13:09] mongy: What are you talking about?

[13:09] andeeeuk: try a sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, and try again. [13:10] gobbe: You were right. The password was not set. I reset it and mysql worked, but phpmyadmin still showing up error...now related to PHP. I'm checking into that. [13:10] oops [13:10] gobbe, sorry [13:10] Ok I'm in Device Manager..

[13:11] Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller [13:11] That's it. [13:11] bustedup277: you might need to use wired conenction to get drivers [13:11] hi [13:12] k yeah so it the broadcom one [13:12] bustedup277: broadcom needs 3rd party drivers, which can be installed with Additional Drivers [13:12] bustedup277: you proberly should connect via wire, and update/upgrade the system. then figure out what drivers are needed. its proberly the 'sta' drivers . but broadcom cards can be weird. [13:12] umm ok? [13:13] bustedup277: its posssible once you update/upgrade - that the Addational Drivers tool - may show the proper drivers [13:13] also, anyone know how to get Rhythmbox to remember locations and passwords for music folders in windows (Vista) shares. [13:13] yeah be the easiest way bustedup277 [13:13] just hardwire to the router and connect on LAN [13:13] DR_Willis and anyone else: Can I download the drivers from Windows? [13:14] update then play with wireless [13:14] :| [13:14] hay [13:14] Can I just download the drivers I need from Windows and not Ubuntu? [13:14] alguem fala portugues [13:14] you could download to window if you were sure what drivers to download [13:14] ¶;x~~ [13:14] andeeeuk: all i can say is i got moovidia installed here.. but i instlled it some time back. [13:14] Well how do i figure out which drivers I need to download? [13:15] check websites [13:15] kk [13:15] andeeeuk: it could be some updated broke the package.. if its just 'reccomended' it should still install. [13:15] or do what gobbe was saying === bustedup277 is now known as away277 === bilalakhtar_ is now known as cdbs [13:16] Dr_Willis: yeah it wont install at all [13:16] think it is because of the dependancy issues [13:16] but it will not look to resolve them [13:17] i'm having serious issues with java (i used to have openjdk, now sun's)... as soon as i launch a .jar file, the computer crashes and i have to do a hard reboot (funny colors and flashing checkerboard patterns) === Arrazador is now known as Luciano [13:18] my old laptop (ubuntu 9) did so, and now my new one (ubuntu 10.10) is doing the same === Luciano is now known as Bushi [13:19] blup: what is the .jar you are launching or does this happen with every .jar? [13:19] hiya, how can i update /etc/hostname without rebooting the machine? === Bushi is now known as virtulMan === virtulMan is now known as virtualMan [13:19] mr_shred if you are targeting the .NET framework, I highly recommend you learn C#, it has larger project base and more advanced development opportunities than VB, though you can use both languages against nearly all the same .NET framework. do you have a .NET project? If you still require development of .NET on LNX, there is always mono... but caution the lack of full support. the only opensource combo that I have d [13:19] one is C#/mySQL and C# SQLite === virtualMan is now known as Arrazador [13:20] alguem fala portugues [13:20] gobbe: i've tried launching the .jar (minecraft) from within linux and within vmware running windows xp and i get the same results... when i run a java application online it bugs less, but it still behaves weird (if i change tabs, the java app is still there) [13:21] nightcrow, sudo service hostname restart (possibly) [13:21] rumpe2: thats not it [13:21] :) [13:21] blup: hmmh. if this hapepns only with minecraft you might need to contact their support [13:22] nightcrow, well... man hostname says, there is a script /etc/init.d/hostname.sh ... use it [13:22] gobbe: i'm using minecraft as an example... it happens with any .jre [13:22] rumpe2: tried that - doesnt work [13:22] :-/ [13:22] gobbe: .jar* [13:22] nightcrow, what exactly did you try and what were the error-messages? [13:22] alright [13:22] campbellgolf, I was thinking of downloading Visual Web 2008 on my Vista machine. I understand c# is rather "Java-like" from what I've seen on the web. [13:23] nightcrow, look into the script... there is also a parameter "reload" [13:23] blup: hmmh. interesting. What is OS that you are running? Do you get anykind of error messages under /var/log? [13:23] what is a good utility for making keyboard macros [13:23] blup: i'm running .jar's now without any problem === NG_ is now known as ng_ [13:23] !ping [13:23] ping-pong, a fun game for all the family [13:23] How should I copy knoppix to a usb memory stick and make it bootable? :o [13:23] gobbe: let me check the log, good point [13:23] rumpe2: there is no such script [13:24] called hostname.sh [13:24] Stava: #knoppix or something, this channel is only for Ubuntu support [13:24] gobbe, Well im doing it with ubuntu [13:24] gobbe, I can only find guides for windows [13:25] mr_shred do you have a ".edu" email, you can get VS2010, Win03, Win08, SQLServer 2008 free from M$. www.dreamspark.com [13:25] nightcrow, is the package hostname installed? [13:25] my main concern is that, given what Visual Web Developer can do 'out of the box' with a few mere drag-and-drop motions, is everybody going to be moving in that direction? I see much of the web now either operating on MVC foundations (using various frameworks) or .NET 2/3.5/4 ... no longer see much about "simple" php-mysql or even AJAX. [13:25] Stava: still. it has nothing to do with ubuntu support [13:25] Stava: you should ask from #knoppix or google [13:25] rumpe2: isnt it default? [13:26] nightcrow_, don't know ... here (ubuntu 10.04) it is [13:26] gobbe: no, nothing relevant in the syslog... and as i've said, i thought with a new computer and new OS (Mint Ubuntu 10.10), it would fix the problem, but i haven't successfully ran a java file since i changed to linux [13:26] I am complete newbie on karmic version of ubuntu. Book says on inserting audio cd rhythmbox will will play automatically...all the threads I can find are to stop it doing this I have the opposite problem...nothing happens at all even though I have setting to play automatically...the cdrom does not show in the side panel...nada..what do I do next please? [13:27] campbellgolf, wow! but no :( ... might have to call my cousin, see if he can download them from MS then. [13:27] Stava: it's possible to do that, so no worries [13:27] mr_shred actually, M$ is pushing WPF (Windows Resentation Foundation) using XAML to link various UI elements. I don't think is as drag'n drop as the classic .NET development has been since .NET 1.0 [13:28] gobbe: could it be related to the graphics card? [13:29] Stava: wwww.novell.com/communities/node/4536/how-create-external-usb-bootable-linux-hard-drive-without-dual-boot [13:29] blup: it might [13:29] blup: c's i'm running several jar's everyday without problems, tho they are not games [13:29] mr_shred anyways check that out, and PM me for additional info, I don't think the folks on the #Ubuntu channel appreciate us hijacking it for a M$ discussion.. what sux, is there are no decent IRC channels for M$ that I have found, nothing compared to Java IRC channels ;-( [13:29] Stava: navigate to that page, scroll down and use "Method 1", follow the instructions [13:30] wyclif, thanks [13:30] Stava: it's 9 or 10 steps but they're simple [13:31] Stava: no worries, hope it helps [13:31] gobbe: in fact, last time i had this issue with my old computer, ubuntu would crash running 'Processing' files, but if i ran them in vmware with windows xp, it would run fine.. [13:31] thanks a lot campbellgolf and sorry #ubuntu, didn't mean to drag M$ (boo-hisss!) into this place :) [13:31] mole1: if you plan to play media you should install restricted package: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [13:31] \join #germany [13:34] Thanks sacarlson, when I look at the synaptic packages list, all packages I have seen recommended seem to be checked already as installed... [13:36] blup: what other jar's are causing same thing? [13:36] mole1: well with that if your cd fails to open I think it's hardware [13:36] ok, onto matters exclusively ... umm ... non-M$. Rhythmbox & LAN-shares. is Rhythmbox buggy? I have over 60+ CDs ripped to my Netgear NAS box. it runs on a stripped down linux distro (I'm pretty certain of this, though I haven't checked) and communicates well with my Ubuntu for most things. I have super-massive folder of mp3s and FLACs, which I can easily drag-n-drop into "other" more bloated media-applications, unfortunately, when I drag-n- [13:36] drop it into Rhythmbox... it imports some, crashes, takes down the explorer folder with it, then comes back, shows it's still importing, then crashes ... on and on ...

[13:38] h-dee, you gotta be root === werwolf is now known as loner [13:38] or use sudo [13:38] It don't show Paste option in /var/www. [13:39] h-dee, you gotta be root [13:39] h-dee: that's because you don't have write-rights there === loner is now known as Guest53906 [13:39] you could always change the permissions for www but not sure how safe that is [13:39] goobe: r00t4rd3d: So do I need to use sudo everytime to copy, modify files? [13:39] that's fucking ubuntu [13:39] yup [13:39] h-dee: you can make /var/www owned by you [13:39] Guest53906: watch your language [13:39] h-dee: then you dont [13:39] Tm_T: ! [13:40] "Fucking Ubuntu" - new distro? [13:40] goobe: r00t4rd3d: I don't want to make it a webser but just a local test server [13:40] I installed Ubuntu on a Dell Dimension C521, there is a problem with the mouse, after some search I found out it is a very known problem with Dell C521, which is fixed by updating the Bios. But this needs to be done through MS Dos, So I made an MS Dos Bootable cd, and placed the Biosinstallation file in an ntfs-partition. Problem is, I dont know how to find this partition and hence the installation file when I am booting from [13:40] You could use Groups also i belive to access the www-data dirs [13:40] h-dee: sudo chown youruseraccount -R /var/www/* [13:40] h-dee, then own the www folder [13:40] h-dee: or add your useraccount to www-data group [13:40] goobe: r00t4rd3d: last time I did din [13:41] goobe: r00t4rd3d: last time I did din't worked...thats how i screwed up my /var [13:41] goobe: r00t4rd3d: trying again! [13:41] use the command gobbe wrote you [13:41] h-dee: so what did you do when you screwed it up? [13:41] Rubenstukken: ubuntu has flasher software, look in the programs download center [13:41] gobbe: how to add my useracc to www-data? [13:41] @Rubenstukken:Put the bios install files on the cd. [13:41] Just upgraded from Jaunty to Lucid (fresh install). Has the behavior of gnome-search-tool changed? It no longer seems to search for text within binary files! [13:42] h-dee: system -> administration -> users and groups [13:42] gobbe: when chown /var/www didn't worked, I changed /var ownership with -R [13:42] h-dee: and manage groups from there [13:42] h-dee: try System>admin>user groups> select user and add group [13:42] gobbe: thanks! I'll try that now. [13:42] ok, anyone know of a good +robust+ mediaplayer that can handle FLAC files and works well with network shares? [13:43] @amaab, How do I make a bootable Dos with the installation file, just copying the files doesnt work it isnt bootable anymore then, I dont have a floppy drive... So how do I burn both the iso and the installation file? [13:43] why are using ubuntu? i think that this distro is uncomfortable [13:44] Is there direct links to latest stable ubuntu? [13:44] Guest53906: it's your opinion [13:44] gobbe: My main group is same as my username. Should I modify that entry or is there some other option to append that 'www-data' group too? [13:44] mr_shed: if you you need is a plyaer then audacious is cool but there are others that do much more [13:44] hey, how can i go into keyboard preferences via terminal?

[13:48] sacarlson, I find that Rhythmbox can't load files to the media library - reports an internal bug in the "g-stream" component - and that Amarok gives me no access to the network folders through its menus. [13:48] or the real question is; is it possible to translate pages on wiki.ubuntu.com? [13:49] conky installation reported Can't locate your X11 installation === wilk is now known as devil [13:49] Does anyone know how to make a bootable MS Dos cd with one extra file, without messing up the bootability? I need this to update my Bios, because of very known mouse problem om my DEll C521. I don't have any Dos-system anywhere. Just an image for making a a bootable Dos-cd and the installation file for the update of my Bios [13:49] h-dee, did you figure it out ? [13:49] mr_shed: if you just mounted you shares as normal directory with your user that you now play with having normal access to them I wouldn't expect you would see this type of error === devil is now known as Devil [13:50] mr_shed: fix your mounts first [13:50] đ [13:50] h-dee, goto users and groups , then click manage groups , scroll down to www-data , highlight , click properties , your username should be in the box , check it. [13:50] r00t4rd3d: I changed the owner, and it did copied. However the script is not executing. I'm trying to run SocialEngine script. Now trying Wordpress to check if it works. Thanks!

[13:53] wyclif, why are you always issuing them things to people ? [13:53] I AM USING WINDOWS XP NOW BUT IT IS VERY BAD [13:53] sacarlson, I'm not so sure about that, you can open the installation file from a windows-environment which will shutdown windows and then update the bios.. here is the explanation from Dell http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R142795&SystemID=DIM_P4_C521&servicetag=6JZ24D1&os=WLH&osl=en&deviceid=308&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=4&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=1&fileid=190570 [13:54] root4rd3d not always, once [13:54] prince12, turn off caps lock [13:54] r0t4rd3d: first one was my mistake [13:54] sacarlson...if I have understood this right an audio CD won't play or show in Rhythmbox unless one has installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? Unfortunately clicking on the link to install this on the page you gave a return "not found"...trying via the terminal gives the same response...is this maybe due to temporary unavailability perhaps?...is there anywhere else to get it? [13:54] ok i have turned off caps lock [13:54] How can I search for a Microsoft Word document containing a text string? [13:54] prince12: yay [13:54] prince12, use the ubuntu torrent [13:54] that way you can start , stop , resume [13:54] etc [13:55] r00t4rd3d: because he wanted to know where to download Ubuntu and it's easier than saying the same things over and over again [13:55] ok wait [13:55] sacarlson, that's the problem, I can w-r-x them perfectly well. I set up the shares months back and nothing was causing me any problems :( [13:55] prince12, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [13:55] for the torrents [13:55] Rubenstukken: well one method calls out Run the BIOS update utility from Windows environment, so is that not doable from a virtualbox run of windows? [13:55] benkay86: doesn't openoffice open it? [13:56] hello there, i'm on the ubuntu website trrying to upgrade to 10.10 and it says that i should "check" in update update manager but when i "check" nothing appears [13:56] gobbe: I'm thinking of something more like gnome-search-tool. I want to find files containing text. [13:56] Hey there everyone.I'm just testing this irc client on my new android device [13:56] mole1, Nope, seems to be working for me [13:56] mr_shed: does that mean problem solved? or not?

Is it not a problem that I am running ubuntu then, it uses the Bios or am I wrong, or will it nog be a problem...? i dont want to fuck things up by trying [13:57] rumpe2, gobbe: Thanks, I'm familiar with grep -ir. Unfortunately this question pertains to my 60 year-old father. [13:58] sriram: thank you <3 [13:58] Rubenstukken: to update the bios is a risky thing so the safist method is always best [13:58] jo_: Your welcome [13:59] is there a way to split contacts in evolution that have accidentally been merged somehow? [13:59] sacarlson, I'm going to try that thanks. I'm just not sure why Rhythmbox is having trouble with the NAS share folder. it puzzles me ... I could have made a mistake on the mounting, I'm sure, but I don't see any problems with it anywhere else. [13:59] Rubenstukken: I think I would install dual boot if that was an option, witch it is [13:59] it is not seeming to work [13:59] * Sriram is building VIM 7.3.081 [14:00] vse loshary [14:00] rubenstukken: the bios is not on the hard drive, it's in a cmos memory module [14:00] we are talking about loshary here [14:00] ! [14:01] elky: Don't think so. [14:01] mr_shed: your NAS already have /etc/fstab entries I"m sure [14:01] can someone redirect me to the wine server [14:01] loshary is new distro [14:01] the wine chat thing i means [14:01] prince12-can anyone solve my problem [14:01] jo_: What wine chat thing? [14:02] jo_: Wine channel on IRC? [14:02] sacarlson, Yes It seems that thats the best solution, I will need to find a pirate version of win xp or something, dont have any cd of it. I installed Ubuntu on the machine to avoid having to install windows which always gives me much more problems than installing Ubuntu. I havent worked with windows for a long time, and I am pretty scared of it :D [14:02] sriram: that's right [14:02] jo_: /join #winehq [14:02] jo_: It's #wine [14:02] just close the page?

[14:37] fabula, [14:38] I actually tried to install from alternate minimal cd but the automatic installation is broken due to bug with absence of --force-yes in pae kernel installation script; so I need to know how to install the base system from command line only [14:38] so basicaly i have to ubuntus installed the original one and the one i just installed but i want to have it boot to the otiginal and delete the other new one [14:38] sam_delete the new partition and follow number 13 on this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [14:38] grandrew, did you try the minimal install cd [14:38] ok ty [14:38] how do i delete the partion? [14:39] sam_, you are very welcome, glad I could help. [14:39] im running on the new partion now [14:39] h-dee: they are updated fairly often, just that Ubuntu does not automatically update/upgrade a package just because it has been released. [14:39] grandrew, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:39] sam_: fdisk, or gparted. or just reformat ti some new clean filesystem [14:39] gparted from livecd [14:39] boot into the ubuntu live cd, go to system > administration> gparted [14:39] ok ty ill let ya know how it goes ty again [14:39] coz_, yes I am using it right now.

[15:46] How do I go about replicating the root partition on another partition? [15:46] tei: Is it Ubuntu Mac dual boot?! [15:46] rs0832: sorry, back now. using a generic Belkin router+modem. this card worked two days ago with winxp [15:46] brahmana: just copy it over, -Xp === Powerfire is now known as Vincent [15:46] hi [15:46] rs0832, running from CD [15:46] gobbe: why? :) umm can you suggest me a good download manager for Chrome in Ubuntu? [15:46] AbstractBeliefs|, did you get drivers with it for xp? [15:46] (this is a cd / dvd drive) [15:46] It's not dual boot because ububtu used the whole disk [15:46] ikonia: I will have to do it without mounting the target partition right? [15:47] brahmana: you can't do it without mounting the target partition === patrick is now known as Guest8345 [15:47] sta11: Download manager? If you press Ctrl+J you'll get all the info you need? [15:47] elvanor, have you tried a usb stick?... and are you using 10.10? [15:47] brahmana: it's also better to do it from a livecd as your root partition is not in use in that situation, it's not required but it is better [15:47] I can try to find where I downloaded it from but it's difficult without a computer :/ [15:47] ikonia: Then wouldn't the target partition become part of the fs starting from /? [15:47] brahmana: no, that's what -X is for, do not leave this file system [15:47] anyone use sabnzbdplus? [15:47] tei: I think you downloaded the wrong image [15:47] brahmana: cp -Rxp [15:48] Hey Idle One, how do I tell testdisk to save file copied on a different disk then the one its on? [15:48] * brahmana reads the cp man page for those options [15:48] rs0832: no, not as far as i know. just worked out the box. wireless.kernel.org suggests using ath5k for my particular card, so i did [15:48] tei: There is a seperate Power PC/Mac version [15:48] brahmana: recursive, preserve permissions, do not leave that file system === AbstractBeliefs| is now known as AbstractBeliefs [15:48] aeon-itd hey i downloaded that mplayer but it still not working [15:48] gobbe: it's the default download manager of Chrome with minimum features, I want something like flashgot or DownThemAll in Firefox [15:48] tei: Then what are you trying to resolve exactly? [15:48] Is Ndiswrapper difficult to use? Just a quick question, also, does it take a long time to use Ndiswrapper and connect to the internet? [15:48] ikonia: awesome... thank you. :) [15:48] aeon-itd should i have to change any setting of computer? [15:49] sresu, have you used fs-driver before? === nathan is now known as Guest26386 [15:49] Okay... I no longer have a mac operating system but I'll try doeenloading that and installing it off a usb [15:49] ikonia: This will not copy the home directory if /home is mounted on a different partition, right? [15:49] AbstractBeliefs, hmm i think the problem is with the kernel/wireless modules... either a kernel update or wireless kernel module backport may fix this [15:49] brahmana: correct [15:49] sresu, its telling me the drive needs to be formatted [15:49] tei: YOu have a recovery CD right? [15:50] anyone else have an issue with X not starting after the last update round (NYE)? [15:50] ikonia: and would rsync offer me any benefit over cp? [15:50] tei: Where do you live? [15:50] sresu, the problem is when I try to boot I get a dark screen with a blinking cursor no matter what J do [15:50] brahmana: not really, thats used for regular updates rather than a one off (at a high level) [15:50] bustedup277: you will need a specific windows driver for your device, if it ready, it must be quick [15:50] rs0832: i was advised to apt-get linux-backports-modules-wireless(...) earlier, but no change [15:50] Canada, [15:50] Toronto... [15:50] tei: Booting what? Mac? Ubuntu? [15:50] ikonia: ok... thanks again.. let me try that.. [15:50] AbstractBeliefs: did you reboot? [15:51] sta11: then you might need to use firefox, if those plugins are not available [15:51] Ubuntu [15:51] tei:You said its not dual boot but only single Os [15:51] tei: You can go to apple service center and ask for recovery CD [15:51] Okay [15:51] Ah [15:51] Blue1: yes, and then re-iw and if config'd [15:51] has anyone managed to get cnetworkmanager to work on ubuntu 10.10? [15:51] I have a usb external hd that I used to backup my laptop using rsync and can't get it to mount on my desktop. [15:51] AbstractBeliefs: what wlan card to you have? [15:51] Okay, I'll try that i i can't get ububtu working [15:51] tei: Is it under warranty? [15:51] JuJuBee: what happens when you try to mount it [15:51] tei: Okay [15:52] gobbe: Firefox is RAM eating :( ... thanks for the advice anyway :)) [15:52] atheros 5xxx (cant remember precisely, how would i check?) [15:52] No... But at this point I'm willing to pay [15:52] WHERE can i DOWNLOAD Free Drivers from Ubuntu? do i have free drivers now? [15:52] Thanks [15:52] Blue1: atheros 5xxx (cant remember precisely, how would i check?) [15:52] ToastedHip: drivers for what ? [15:52] i don't know how, but TCP isn't working anymore here, icmp and udp do...i can get dhcp from my router and ping it, but can't make any tcp connection to anywhere. any ideas plz?? [15:52] tei: fine, bye, see you later. Have to go to sleep [15:52] rs0832, the usb-creator program does not seem to properly work under windows [15:52] AbstractBeliefs: http://pkill-9.com/?p=152 [15:52] i have a video card [15:52] ToastedHip: which one [15:53] ATI 5770 HD [15:53] WeThePeople: No, I don't like that personally. It works for ext2 but for ext3 you may need to check the FAQ's. Do not format, I don't think it would ask for anything like that [15:53] is IdleOne around? ive got a question for him [15:53] ToastedHip, there are free drivers for that card [15:53] elvanor, you might try one thing [15:53] ToastedHip: ok so have you used the hardware drivers tool in ubuntu ? [15:53] though 3d performance will be bad [15:53] ikonia: when I plug it in, I get http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/549555/ in dmesg [15:53] i see only proprietary listed [15:53] Blue1: thank you, will try this [15:53] vultraz: ask the channel. [15:53] ikonia, no you are allready running them [15:53] AbstractBeliefs: no guarentees [15:53] arfoll: arfoll what ? [15:54] Blue1: never expected any with linux ;0 [15:54] JuJuBee: try to mount it manually [15:54] elvanor, there are some ubuntu mini isos, ~12 mb... you can try and boot that, then install gnome-desktop, etc through the cli... or try the alternate install cd if you havent [15:54] ikonia, radeon drivers (opensource ones) should load when detecting your card, providing 2D and 3D [15:54] vultraz: Please stop messaging me and ask in here. [15:54] arfoll: yes, there are also the closed source ones provided from the hardware drivers tool, and it will depend on the cards [15:54] sorry :( Ok how do I tell testdisk to save file copied on a different disk then the one its on? [15:54] rs0832, I tried the alternate cd, but as it is a cd it did not boot [15:55] ikonia, and why do you want the closed source ones? [15:55] arfoll: because the open ones don't work with all ATI cards [15:55] AbstractBeliefs: i had a lot of problems with wireless on my netbook till I backported [15:55] ikonia: what /dev do I mount? [15:55] ikonia, they work with a 5770 [15:55] Blue1: lspci shows model number AR2413, this is *wrong* maybe this is why? [15:55] AbstractBeliefs: yup probably the issue [15:55] how do i check what ubuntu 5770 ati driveri have [15:55] Anyone any notion how you enable the XRender Module for VNC? [15:55] arfoll: I have no idea which specific cards and which spefic drivers work [15:56] sta11: what specific windows driver is that? Im kind of a n00b at this stuff :/ [15:56] ikonia, http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature [15:56] help with network prob, tcp seems broken [15:56] a [15:56] AbstractBeliefs, did you get a manual or cd or something with your modem? [15:56] ToastedHip, easy if you have fglrxinfo and it reports something, you are running fglrx [15:57] Blue1: going to try the backports anyway, if they dont work, im going to clean-install the system and start again [15:57] ToastedHip: grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:57] rs0832: no [15:57] ikonia, http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature [15:57] AbstractBeliefs: good luck [15:57] anyone? [15:57] over stallmans beards i swear i couldn't find info on this [15:57] Blue1: thank you, for your help and you blessing =] [15:57] fglrxinfo: command not found [15:58] AbstractBeliefs: you are welcome [15:58] ToastedHip, then you are running radeon\ [15:58] If I run ubuntu test/live from a usb memory stick, how can I mount that memory stick for writing? [15:58] ikonia: how do I mount it if I don't know what /dev to use? [15:58] can anyone help me? how do I tell testdisk to save files copied on a different disk then the one its on? [15:58] impossible. this computer was bought at a high price from best buy [15:59] ToastedHip: the price has nothing to do with it [15:59] guampa, check your server address connection: netstat --tcp [15:59] vultraz: depends on mount points [15:59] JuJuBee: sudo fdisk -l do you see the disk [15:59] AbstractBeliefs, well, i m sorry but the backports is the best i can think of... i am not really experienced with networks... but good luck to you if you havnt got a solution yet:) [15:59] JuJuBee: use dmesg to find out what it's named as [15:59] vultraz: in my system root (/) is /dev/sda but /home is /dev/sdb [15:59] JuJuBee: it should say in there corresponding after you've inserted it [16:00] I am still having problems with wireless connection but when i go into firefox tools and add ons i can disable and it restarts firefox and displays page but can not go to any other page or any links off of home page any ideas what is causing this? [16:00] nothing about the external hd [16:00] rs0832: thank you anyway =] [16:00] vultraz: controlled by fstab [16:00] ikonia: another follow-up question. After that copy will that newly copied partition be bootable? [16:00] AbstractBeliefs, :) [16:00] well, ive connected a external hd via a apricorn ez gig 2 and want to save on that [16:00] If I run ubuntu test/live from a usb memory stick, how can I mount that memory stick for writing? /cdrom seems to contain the usb sticks files, but its read-only [16:00] BluesKaj: all i get are the connections to internet (all over usb0), i get to internet over a 3g dongle [16:00] so i check its mount point then what [16:00] It does the same thing when i enable add ons as well but will not go to any other pages says cannot find server [16:01] jeff72834, unfortunately that's probly a cached version of the browser, it's not actually connectrd to the net [16:01] BluesKaj: eth0 is connected to a tplink ap/router (it isn't connected to internet) [16:01] ikonia: That is to say, if that target partition was on a separate disk, can I attach that disk to a different machine and boot from that one? [16:01] vultraz: just create the mount point (mkdir whatever) then mount it: mount /dev/sdb1 /whatever [16:01] dr4c4n: no mention of the usb drive [16:01] vultraz: so when you refer to /whatever it points to the 2nd drive [16:01] any ideas on how to fix? This is driving me crazy [16:01] vultraz: or whereever your mounted it [16:01] JuJuBee: it will say something similar to mount usb on /dev/sdb1 or something similar [16:01] dr4c4n: in fdisk and no mention of /dev in dmesg [16:02] dr4c4n: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/549555/ [16:02] brahmana: it will, however keep in mind your grub config will be wrong unless you are replacing that disk with the old one [16:02] JuJuBee: 1 sec [16:02] but the question is HOW do i refer [16:03] guampa, sorry I know nothing about 3g dongle/phone connections [16:03] ikonia: I am sorry I did not the replacing part.. [16:03] hi === bruce_ is now known as j1tters [16:03] vultraz: cd directory name - [16:03] JuJuBee: well it says that it's disconnected due to error [16:03] BluesKaj: anyway the dongle hasn't got problems, it's working ok [16:03] JuJuBee: 1 sec.. i'm seeing if others have the same issue [16:03] dr4c4n: how do I correct it? Had to ship my laptop back for repair and need files on this drive [16:03] vultraz: priv. mesage ok? [16:03] so testdisk had to be on the external drive too? [16:03] brahmana: if you want to boot from it while your original disk is in, you will need to change the grub configuration, if you want to use it as a backup disk and replace the original disk, it will be fine [16:03] it's over ethernet that tcp doesn't work [16:03] ok [16:03] wanted to know how i can get google earth on my pc after down loading from the web site it does not work [16:04] ikonia: oh ok.. that way... got it..

(but linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic works) [16:07] how do i see that [16:07] Blue1: but after reboot, problem persists [16:07] JuJuBee: unplug the drive, and plug back in, and view dmesg to see where it is located, then make a mount point and mount the drive to that point [16:08] brahmana: wireshark shows as if the problems is in sending packets to outside, ie incoming connections receive the SYN, but SYN/ACK aren't sent [16:08] superxgl iam new to this can you help me [16:08] Can I eject a disk from a grub command line?

Any way to fix it? [16:30] I'm trying to package a program called "zams", but need to know where to put the icon so that it shows up in the applications menu.

I'm having trouble getting it to mount. seems I haven't even got it in fstab.

Manually flushed all iptables rules and set all policies to ACCEPT [17:30] guampa: well, try to close it down and see what happens [17:31] ok, I'll give that a try. Going to maverick is what caused the out of disk error to begin with though [17:31] but I'll try a clean install rather than the update [17:31] <__name__> hello [17:31] <__name__> can i tell apt i want certain packages from natty? [17:31] DigressNow: well, try a clean install, and you might want to make your ubuntu partitions bigger.. how big are they now?\ [17:31] gobbe: not sure i understand what "close down" means [17:31] I added a new account and disabled root from SSHing in, but if I add that new account to the /etc/sudoers file wouldn't disabling root from SSH have been useless then? [17:32] I hav 200 gigs on ubuntu and 120 on xp [17:32] should be plenty [17:32] DigressNow: you're not out of space then, unless you have some unusual partition set up [17:32] on this machine I only have 10 gigs on ubuntu and its always been fine [17:32] DigressNow: how is that 200gigs partitioned? [17:32] guampa: sudo service ufw stop [17:32] __name__, no - mixing repo's between release distributions is a bad idea. you could "try" to install just the DEBs from the updated program but that may not work out. Check if there is a PPA with the updated program version available. [17:33] poopmaster1: well it disables access with root account [17:33] does anyone know if the rescue remix contains ms-sys? [17:33] poopmaster1: sudo just allows users to run command with root rights [17:33] I had 120 as NFTS for xp, then the other as ext3 I think its ext4 now - which is broken into I think 2 sub partitions, the swap, and the main [17:33] gobbe: there, i stopped it, still the same results though [17:33] swap is 5 gigs [17:33] <__name__> ZykoticK9: Yes I already did that, it's a lot of work and does not give me patches to natty [17:33] gobbe: Isn't that essentially the same thing? if you can run commands with root rights wouldn't that be just as if you logged in under the root account? [17:34] guampa: so no traffic at all to outside works? [17:34] DigressNow: ok, just boot the maverick CD, do "manual partitioning" at the install phase, delete the old / and replace it w/ a new one, and you should be fine [17:34] guampa: it's quite hard to know, because i don't have information what did you do before it broke up [17:34] <__name__> ZykoticK9: I think that compiling it myself is a worse idea than getting it from natty. [17:34] __name__, true. You decide, which is more important - the updated program on your current system - or running the alpha then. [17:34] poopmaster1: well, root is root in every linux, no need to guess userid [17:34] DigressNow: swap is not partitioned as ext4. it's partitioned as linux-swap [17:34] ok I'll give it a shot [17:34] __name__, compiling yourself? [17:34] DigressNow: make sure anything important is backed up of course. [17:34] poopmaster1: it's just to prevent bruteforce [17:34] <__name__> ZykoticK9: The new version of the program.

[17:37] <__name__> ZykoticK9: It's just another tiling WM. [17:37] gobbe: yes, in fact it had happened before on my laptop and i'd thought the ethernet had broken, now after manually installing all the software and config i had in the laptop i end up with the same problem, so it appears to be exclusively a broken config/software problem [17:37] <__name__> Thanks.

AUFS combines them to one virtual filesystem. when writing to the aufs-fs AUFS writes the data completely to exactly ONE hdd [18:08] help me please [18:08] ? [18:08] how come when i do gconftool-2 --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" --type bool "true" "i still have no control over the desktop" :S [18:08] juniour, Do you have backups of your files? [18:08] no [18:08] in addition you could tell aufs to "round-robin" when writing data, so file1 goes to hdd1, file2 to hdd2 and so on... [18:08] So, no one knows what I'm doing wrong? [18:08] Nepherius: that was a poplar thing a few years back.. and back then.. the benchmarks were inconclusive as to if it helped or not [18:08] P4G0: have you thought about making another partition tble?

[18:09] ah ok , tks [18:09] to start ubuntu [18:09] if you want to merge hdds you have to make a partition table in which all apears [18:09] juniour, Oh. Well, I'll tell you what. Start the live-cd, backup your files elsewhere, make a clean install of 10.10. IMHO, upgrades never work as good as a clean install. [18:10] it isdangerous [18:10] hmm maybe a fstab-entry says more than 1000 words: [18:10] none /mnt/unified aufs create_policy=round-robin,br:/branches/sda1:/branches/sdb1:/branches/sda1 0 0 [18:10] because if 1 hdd dissapears, u loose all ur information [18:10] txomon: but not with AUFS ;) [18:11] each hdd is independent from each other [18:11] mactimes i dont have cd i have installed ubuntu via wubi in windows 7 [18:11] Anyone have idea where should i get XFree86-Mesa-libGL package from?

[18:11] in not getting start [18:12] I don't want to use RAID (5) because adding another hdd could result in loosing all data when growing the array with dmraid [18:12] juniour, idk, then. [18:12] Aihetleos: You should definetly not erase any data there [18:12] Aihetleos, are you sure you need to delete this file? Files under /usr/lib shouldn't be manually deleted in regular circunstances. [18:12] what do wou want it for? [18:12] compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'ccp' [18:12] P4G0: what for?

Why i cant?? [18:14] gobbe: ok... so I was following the instructions on that website. After I typed "chroot $D" I get an error: "bash: /usr/bin/mint-fortune: No such file or directory" I hope it's not a linux mint specific problem. =) After that point, continuing doesn't get any results (chroot unsuccessful) [18:14] txomon: ah no thats even not usable for me [18:14] Arxiss: search Mesa-libGL on synaptic [18:14] hey i have upgraded my ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 after installing packeg it got error and my ubuntu dosent start [18:14] it's like that at the current time [18:14] help me [18:14] i want to have ALL movies in ONE folder [18:14] juniour: I need more information, what exactly happens [18:15] Aihetleos, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove --purge compiz && apt-get clean && apt-get install compiz [18:15] KM0201: It went back to the error: out of disk after reinstalling 10.10 [18:15] P4G0: ^^ i also wanted for that, and I discovered that it is better to classify them by name than unifying them [18:15] juniour: use a live cd to back up your files and then perform a clean install. this is the best way to get rid of errors like this [18:15] ub rescue [18:15] DigressNow: you're doing something wrong... [18:15] the same for muvies, pictures and so on... important data is automatically backed up via cron...

[18:16] and what is that doing? [18:16] Aihetleos: it uninstalls compiz [18:16] txomon: he upgraded, and it probably failed that way [18:16] txomon like not found [18:16] txomon: it has to be one big folder, because MediaPortal is only accepting one folder for recordings... i could move them, but i don't want to [18:16] error creating bootloader during clean 10.10 install. What to do? [18:16] Aihetleos, You wanted to reinstall compiz, right? [18:17] the partitions are correct, I don't know any other way to do it [18:17] so anyway.... AUFS is the perfect fit for me... no one has an ide where to find binary packages? [18:17] juniour: I dont know how booting in same partition works... try with a grub rescue CD [18:17] *idea [18:17] Aihetleos, how did you install compiz? [18:17] P4G0: theres some 'fuse' filesystems that are similer to aufs [18:17] P4G0: make an script that moves them [18:17] Aihetleos, That will update your repositories, upgrade packages in your system to the latest versions, remove compiz if it is still there clean cached files and reinstall compiz. [18:18] Aihetleos, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove --purge compiz && apt-get autoremove --purge && apt-get clean && apt-get install compiz [18:18] Brian72helpMe: if you are using mint this channel is wrong [18:18] Aihetleos, That last line will work better. [18:18] I reinstalled compiz, now it says it can't enable desktop effects [18:18] compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'ccp' [18:18] Aihetleos, Will also clean packages that are no longer in use.

[19:14] hitek88: it could be something as simple as the sshd daemon just died, [19:14] nogatezfan: yes, ubottu [19:15] lahwran: try "ifconfig -a" [19:15] bluenemo: ask your questions here. [19:15] ty' [19:15] uzi__: right, it's not there :) === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [19:15] gobbe. would i need them if i need to upgrade bios then? what if i back it up and delete the partition and put it back once ubuntu has been installed, would it help [19:15] lahwran: missing kernel module? [19:15] ikonia: is there a solution for mounting the hardrive and backup data ? [19:15] ubottu repair cd [19:15] hey guys im trying to add lucid repos to lenny. getting this "The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available" [19:15] ocean: in case that you need to update bios, you can recreate it [19:15] uzi__: not sure, that's the kind of thing I'd like to find out. [19:15] on apititude update [19:15] whats the best way to make a 10.10 tubmdrive. i've tried 4 different times (2x with unetbootin and 2x with universal USB installer) and all 4 don't boot [19:15] dpkg give me this error "cannot access archive: No such file or directory". please help. === squidyj is now known as Squidy_J [19:16] gobbe. how can i recreate it? [19:16] krish|wired-in: #debian [19:16] lahwran: whats the make? [19:16] damn, no super button on my cr48 [19:16] ubottu [19:16] ocean: just empty partition with fat32 [19:16] gobbe, umgh ok [19:16] uzi__: lspci thinks it's "Texas Instruments ACX 100 22Mbps Wireless Interface" [19:16] uzi__: i tried sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/disk but it just does nothing dbus doesn't got a reply [19:16] ok and then [19:16] krish|wired-in: that means you need to pull down the public keys from the ubuntu website. but why are you trying to do this? most of ubuntu is derived from Debian. [19:16] ubottu # [19:16] !msgthebot | nogatezfan [19:16] nogatezfan: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [19:16] slade991: does mount command give you any error? [19:16] slade991: from the init prompt ? [19:16] nogatezfan: what do you want ? [19:17] ok. i want to buy a wacom tablet for graphics stuff (painting and so on) and as some kind of a second mouse. i dont want to spend more than 300$. can anybody recommend a special product? [19:17] ocean: well, you need to back up the partitions first [19:17] has anyone had any right click mouse issue in ubuntu 10.10 ?.. (and any ideas how to solve it). [19:17] is there a repair cd for 10.10? [19:17] nogatezfan: the install CD is a repair CD [19:17] Is it possible to make a file permanent within the temp folder? [19:17] aimio: what's the issue. [19:17] bluenemo: as in ubuntu compatibility? pretty sure they're all fine [19:17] nogatezfan: the install CD is also a livecd [19:17] Maahes, i need to debootstrap lucid for xen [19:17] uzi__: no error from command line just running without response [19:17] *tmp folder [19:17] ok i have done it now. so after deleting those could u explain me how to proceed. sorry gobbe i am not a technical guy [19:17] debian is my dom0 [19:17] krish|wired-in: ah, that makes sense. :) [19:17] lahwran: have you tried "sudo modprobe acx"? [19:17] what reoairs do i needd to start repair [19:17] commands [19:18] nogatezfan: the install CD is a full live ubuntu on-disk, which means that you have access to all the ubuntu tools you need, pretty much [19:18] krish|wired-in: but basically that message is harmless. [19:18] ikonia: no from live cd [19:18] nogatezfan: you boot the livecd and manually fix what ever issues you are having [19:18] ok--ok [19:18] uzi__: I have not, because I did not know of that module. *googles* [19:18] lahwran, yeah should be ubuntu compatible yes. i have a x41tablet and use wacom stuff for it, so i have some experience with the wacom project.. but now i want such a tablet (without a monitor) and i dont quite know which one is 'good' [19:18] thanks [19:18] hi....i am having a very serious problem...i am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 from a USB...but at the Username window gets stucks... [19:18] bluenemo: try ##hardware [19:18] ok thank you === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [19:19] Maahes, so my packages got updated? [19:19] aimio: I've having right click issues on natty, what's your issue? [19:19] lemme check [19:19] slade991: run "mount" without any parameters and see if its mounted. [19:19] bluenemo: and also maybe #gimp [19:19] anyone have any suggestions for a way to use yahoo messenger and a webcam (within empathy?) [19:19] hi....i am having a very serious problem...i am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 from a USB...but at the Username window gets stucks... [19:19] kcorcoran: it's not supported [19:19] Maahes, i am not able to right click on desktop or folders etc, i have tried -q on nautilus and addins show_desktop to true but notting seems to be working, so i'm leaning into beliving the issue is with the mouse sessting's, i realy don't know what the problem is. [19:19] good idea lahwran thanks a lot [19:19] teja: you have to have a lowercase username [19:19] krish|wired-in: yes, the "cannot be verified" means "we don't have the public key, so we can't verify this repo is who it says it is." that's all [19:19] tx mkquist. could u explain me what to do next once i back it upt [19:19] what is the common method for webcam software? [19:19] Maahes, nice. yeah it did :) [19:19] uzi__: ok done. It's not mounted [19:19] kcorcoran: something like skype [19:19] ok anyone with Ubuntu 10.10 - it would appear that the standard install /etc/network/interfaces contents are : auto lo / iface lo inet loopback [19:19] lahwran: the thing is i cant have a forward tab working [19:20] did a dry-run of apt-get -s install debootstrap [19:20] radiohead: yes, and ? [19:20] no mention of either eth0 or eth1 [19:20] lemme see the real thing now [19:20] ikonia: thankyou [19:20] ikonia would happen to know what file to edit to have the server reboot after a kernel panic. It seems it waits for the manual reboot. A article states adding a line to /etc/sysctl.conf but in Ubuntu, it seems it is /etc/sysctl.d [19:20] radiohead: because it's configured through the network manager app, which would conflict with /etc/ineerfaces [19:20] aimio, are you sure the issue isn't that the right click menu is invisible? [19:20] that's what I'm getting [19:20] yet my ifconfig recognizes and shows both eth0 and eth1 [19:20] slade991: run "dmesg | tail" and see whats the error given by the kernel. [19:20] teja: as I said, you need a lowercase username. you need to fill all the fields out as well. [19:20] does anyone know how to open itunes store in ubuntu without using itunes(of course)? [19:20] lahwran: ok ill try [19:20] uzi__: it seems I have no module acx. [19:20] uzi__: intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP power or thermal limit exceeded [19:20] tw3_, how would you go about fixing that ? if that may be the problem. [19:20] hitek88: not off the top of my head, but why are you doing that before you know it's even a kernel panic [19:21] I'm not sure, I'm not able to reproduce it 100% [19:21] aimio: and you've confirmed that this mouse's right click works outside of ubuntu yes? [19:21] Is there a way to become an "official", non-paid bug fix programmer for Ubuntu software (not the OS itself)? [19:21] does Ubuntu work on old computer [19:21] radiohead: configure it through the network maanger applet [19:21] sudipta: well there is the ubuntu one music store, if you're just looking for music; you might be able to run itunes with wine, if you need to [19:21] ocean: I'm just saying you should back up those parts no matter what, unless you are pretty sure you wont need em again... [19:21] sometimes it works, sometimes it's like the menu is invisible [19:21] xiven: what software ? [19:21] thanks ikonia [19:21] Maahes, yes. [19:21] e.g I can see the tooltips, and if i click it does the action [19:21] ikonia true, going to see if I can check some logs first [19:21] are you getting that behaviour? [19:21] ocean: Im of the opinion that you probably need to make one partition and extended [19:21] aimio: did your install start like this, or is this a new thing? [19:21] will network app support my wpa_supplicant options? [19:21] Anyone know a package that will implement YAML syntax highlighting into gnome? [19:21] hitek88: get the monitor, plug it into the machine and see what happens [19:22] radiohead: yes [19:22] but can it be done???(itunes store)? [19:22] sudipta: itunes will not work on Linux [19:22] sudipta: I don't know. [19:22] can i put back the content(of hp tools) to the same place once i create an extended and install the ubuntu [19:22] ikonia: thanks again [19:22] lahwran: should you check kernel messages? [19:22] fat32 for usbdrive format correct? [19:22] ikonia: it works on wine. [19:22] that was puzzling me... [19:22] uzi__: oh right. [19:22] :) [19:22] aimio: and does the right click work in other programs, like the sudoku game or whatever? [19:22] when i installed ubuntu 10.04 i had this problem but i solved it by disabling nautilus, but then in 10.10 i have tried everything but its not working :S [19:22] lahwran: not with full functionality [19:22] ikonia: oh. [19:23] help with a tcp issue here, tcp connections on eth0 are broken, icmp/udp works [19:23] guampa: Im in here as well, and i've got an idea [19:23] i notice flow-control is enabled [19:23] one more question - does that mean in Ubuntu you should not manually change the /etc/network/interfaces file manually? [19:23] aimio: is the right click menu working but not showing? [19:23] yes it is [19:23] Alright, so I've installed my two network drivers, Broadcom and Realtek. So now I'm trying to connect to the internet (wlan/wireless) but I am now stumped. What do I do now? How do I get to see available networks and stuff? Screen shot here: http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/2246/screenshottec.png === Guest10739 is now known as gdoteof_home [19:23] radiohead: it should not be used unless you want to disable the network manager applet, as it will cause a conflict [19:24] slade991: try "mount -t /dev/sda1 /media/disk" [19:24] hello. I'm wondering if there is an RSS-Reader that does not seriously lack features or is slow as molasses, to put it politely? [19:24] all i see on my screen is a picture if i hit alt f1 the acces menu, games , ect drop down from the top [19:24] For Ubuntu certainly. [19:24] guampa: my first try would be to disable flow-control [19:24] tw3_, when i press right click notting happens. [19:24] Anyone know a package that will implement YAML syntax highlighting into gnome? [19:24] dpkg give me this error "cannot access archive: No such file or directory". please help. [19:24] Mrokii: I'm sure there is, but my rss reader sucks too, mine is a chrome plugin. I'd like to know what you find out [19:24] guampa: thank you for your paste, what does sudo ifconfig say [19:24] uzi__: what (exactly) command are you using [19:24] and i have checked if it works in other programs and it does not like the ubuntu game etc. no right click :S [19:24] please HElp ---- i have to use on screen keyboard! [19:24] Mrokii: how many of the ones in the repositories have you tried? [19:25] have a good one ikonia - thanks for your time - very useful :) [19:25] radiohead: welcome [19:25] Jarvis: allright, trying that now, what probs could it cause? [19:25] aimio: have you tried a different mouse with ubuntu? [19:25] help me please [19:25] Can anyone answer my question? [19:25] gobbe: http://pastebin.com/dRjFf76j [19:25] or plugging it into a different port. [19:25] ikonia: dpkg install -i youtube-dl [19:25] ikonia: sudo dpkg -i youtube-dl [19:25] Maahes, it's a built in one i am on a netbook. [19:25] my guess is your switch is doing something iffy with flow control, the livecd ignores it, but ubuntu respects it [19:25] Most optical mice should work in Ubuntu Linux [19:26] uzi__: it means the package file you want to install is not in the directory you are in, use the full path [19:26] but i can try to plug in my other mouse sec. [19:26] hey, im running maverick, I found a menu where I could specify the screensavers included on the gnome saver list, but I cant seem to find it again, anyone know where this would be ? [19:26] !info youtube-dl [19:26] youtube-dl (source: youtube-dl): download videos from youtube. In component universe, is extra. Version 2010.08.04-1 (maverick), package size 28 kB, installed size 140 kB [19:26] uzi__: just double clic the deb, youtube-dl is already in repositories by the way [19:26] bustedup277: what you want to do is a bridge, I'm not sure of the factoid though [19:26] uzi__: the package youtube-dl is in the repos, so install it with the package manager [19:26] !bridge [19:26] nope [19:26] aimio: okay, so it's not a mouse, its a touchpad, that's different [19:26] xangua, ikonia: oh, right. [19:27] touchpad wtf !!!! [19:27] hhey my ubuntu is F'D i have spent like 3 hours trying to get anything to work... i finally have a mouse and hacked a way to get the onboard keyboard up [19:27] Maahes, What? [19:27] Quantum_Ion: control the langauge [19:27] What do I need to do? [19:27] :/ [19:27] gdoteof_screwed: and you, controll the language [19:27] but there does not seem to be a way to enable they keyboard [19:27] touchpads are tricky. one thing I would try at first is: sudo rmmod psmouse and then sudo modprobe psmouse [19:27] yeah Maahes, works with my other mouse. [19:27] uzi__: any idea ? [19:27] lahwran: if nothings works, perhaps you should try ndiswrapper. [19:27] ikonia: any idea ? [19:27] how do I identify to my nick using empathy? I've tried /identify , /ns identify /msg nickserv identify all I get is "unknown command" [19:27] to whoever helped me 2 days ago -- thanks! i solved everything [19:27] slade991: I've not been following the issue [19:27] Maahes: My first try was to "ask google" and there I found "Liferea" and "rssOwl". The first being ridiculously stripped off any kind of advanced features, the second being awfully slow (imho). [19:27] Maahes, it's a tochpad issue. "mousepad" [19:27] bustedup277: you're trying to take two computers right, and run internet from one, to the other right? === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [19:28] slade991: tried "mount -t /dev/sda1 /media/disk"? [19:28] I'm trying to run internet on my hp laptop with Ubuntu, so I installed the drivers I needed... [19:28] ._. [19:28] Any software which runs on and has support provided by the Ubuntu Team. Preferably Gnome or KDE applications. [19:28] i was trying to disable my touchpad and went down a slippery slope to hades [19:28] kaddi: empathy is vey limited for irc [19:28] guampa: have you tried to setup tcpdump for eth0 with filters and try to ping something? [19:28] I am on lucid [19:28] aimio: if the driver it uses is called mousepad do the same thing, sudo rmmod mousepad sudo modprobe mousepad [19:28] uzi__: same... no response from the command line [19:29] i tried making a /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the kbd driver [19:29] xangua: what is the default irc client for ubuntu then? I'm using a live cd atm, so I would rather not install anything extra [19:29] Can anyone point me toward some documentation relating to Xinerama issues and trouble shooting when you are actually using multiple video cards? Everything I find is related to single nvidia cards with multiple outputs. For some reason my multicard Xinerma setup locks up after the gdm login but before that is working fine [19:29] bustedup277: So you're trying to associate to a wireless access point? [19:29] yes [19:29] kaddi: i use pidgin, try xchat maybe¿ [19:29] Maahes, how can i do something like aplay -l for the mousepad to see what it the driver is called. [19:29] Trying to connect to my linksys router wlan. [19:29] guampa: because as you can see your eth0 has sent and received packages [19:29] Once the system plays the login audio sound the second screen goes dark and entire thing locks solid [19:29] i had to add AllowEmptyInput off [19:29] slade991: strange. [19:29] how is named the default's document viewer from ubuntu ? which you can open pdf files. [19:29] to get my mousse to work [19:29] Keep in mind I am a total n00b, Maahes. [19:29] ;.; [19:29] Mrokii: honestly I'd vote Google reader, especially the plugin that turns it into a newspaper style feed. [19:30] xangua: isn't empathy the latest version of pidgin? [19:30] * Anonymoose fly away [19:30] but my keyboard still doesn't work [19:30] I just ran sudo make install and got these two lines: install -m 755 -p "wkhtmltopdf" "/bin/wkhtmltopdf" \n strip "/bin/wkhtmltopdf" . Does that mean that to erase this program I just have to rm /bin/wkhtmltopdf ? [19:30] gobbe: yes i see them in the counters but not when i run a sniffer [19:30] i am on another machine in webchat [19:30] but i am also logged into my broken ubuntu [19:30] uzi__: yes i know... [19:30] aimio: just do a lsmod [19:30] its most likely psmouse [19:30] gobbe: over a sniffer the packets that are *sent* aren't received on the other end [19:30] and synaptics, which uses psmouse [19:30] laurus: that's all it's installed [19:30] Maahes: I've never tried out any of the Google-apps and I'm not sure if I want to. [19:30] guampa: hmmh...interesting. it would definetly help to get information what did you do before this occurred :) [19:31] ikonia, so I can just rm it without messing up anything? [19:31] uzi__: fdisk see my harddrive but i cant mount it and dmesg tell me about overheating [19:31] Mrokii: it's pretty good. I'd also say mutt :) but that's different as well. [19:31] please, what can I do to get my keyboard working [19:31] laurus: yes [19:31] the next question would be if there is any known problem with empathy and MSN? It has been connecting for 4 minutes now without any positive or negative feedback [19:31] yeah i have a psmouse in lsmod. [19:31] slade991: should you use disk-utility? [19:31] Anyone ever setup a home video camera system on linux ? [19:31] hey people, [19:31] bustedup277: given the speed that this channel is going, I kinda recommend asking in ##networking [19:31] gobbe: yes it is interesting indeed, and in fact i'm seeing some scripts i have around i'm examining more carefully now, i'm pasting them over tooç [19:31] ikonia, thanks! :) [19:32] kaddi: ubuntu updated¿¿ i use msn-pecan for pidgin with no problems, works with empathy too [19:32] Lolk. [19:32] Hehe [19:32] does ubuntu come with pulse installed and set up for you ? [19:32] Is it ? [19:32] root: not particularly funny. [19:32] c00kiemon5ter: pulseaudio¿ yes [19:32] c00kiemon5ter: yes [19:32] m310: you might get a better representation for that question in #ubuntustudio === root is now known as Guest12310 [19:32] ha, good thanks [19:32] ANY FEMALE? [19:32] Maahes: Mutt... another text-based reader... :/ Seems as if I need to get used to non graphical apps to get any kind of decent ones :/ [19:32] Maahes, my computer is a lenovo, ideapad, s10-3t. (it's a touch screen enabled as well).. [19:32] SEX WITH ME? [19:32] COME [19:32] uzi__: disk utility ? [19:32] xangua: nope.. live-cd so prolly out of date. What is pecan-msn? [19:33] aimio: some touchpads use proprietary drivers, and this is not so fun =\ [19:33] slade991: under system->administration [19:33] xangua, ok switched to xchat :) [19:33] ah, ofc it uses alsa underneath, alsa has stuff like amixer, which are really convient when writing scripts [19:33] i have tried xorg -configure [19:33] ujuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [19:33] kaddi_ an alternative msn plugin [19:33] i just rm'd a file. how can i get it back quickly? [19:33] should I use those, or are there pulseaudio alternatives ? [19:33] but when i start x with the new config file it makes, i just get bsod [19:33] yeah it's working now!! [19:33] where might I find a driver for "Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)"? it seems that the default wifi drivers (which would be madwifi, correct?) don't have the firmware and it shows up as 802.11-DS [19:33] Mrokii: I like text based readers, so I'm a bad person to ask. But the newspaper layout readers (there's 3 of them I think, one is mac only, the other two are webapps IIRC) are pretty nice too [19:33] (to actually change the volume level, nothing more) [19:33] I would really really appreciate how to get my keyboard working. I will only have access to this laptop that i am typing on for like 20 more minutes [19:34] guampa: so, what was it? [19:34] then i will have to try and get help using my onscreen keyboard [19:34] lahwran: is it on the list of supported hardware? [19:34] xangua, thanks I'll try that :) [19:34] plz [19:34] Maahes, but i did not have this problem in 10.04 so what did they change :S? if i could know what they changed then i could fix it maybe.. [19:34] uzi__: disk utility tell me there is already a job pending and the disk is busy [19:34] hey #ubuntu, I have a question [19:34] gdoteof_screwed: what happened, how did your keyboard stop working, have you tried using another keyboard? have you tried plugging it into a different port? === arunce_ is now known as arunce [19:34] !ask | Emb3r [19:34] Emb3r: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:35] i had wrote a script, i was sure it wasn't running but maybe some other init script of mine was calling it, basically "for offload in rx tx sg tso ufo gso gro lro; do ethtool -K $1 $offload $2; done" [19:35] My laptop goes to a blank screen about every 20 minutes or so [19:35] Maahes: it's not supported by the default driver, so obviously not. [19:35] slade991: perhaps, there's a physical problem with the disk. [19:35] i used it to enable/disable the different offloading options in the card [19:35] lahwran: is it in the ndiswrapper drivers? [19:35] guampa: yep :) [19:35] Maahes: now that's an interesting idea. [19:35] hi. i just rm'd a file. how can i get it back quickly? [19:36] there's some offloading that breaks tcp, i turned them all off and my beloved transmission congestion protocol works again :) === gdoteof_screwed is now known as gdoteof [19:36] uzi__: how can i test that ? [19:36] how can i completly remove a packge in ubuntu? for example, when i do "apt-get remove mysql-server" then "apt-get install mysql-server" it doesnt prompt me the password for root! [19:36] uzi__: smart test from disk utility doesn't seems bad at all [19:36] sacarlson: i solved it [19:36] gobbe, Jarvis: thank you pals [19:36] sacarlson: it was indeed a kernel problem, gparted ISO saved my life [19:37] It turns off about every 20 minutes, but it's NOT a locked screen, it's clearly just blank, I can move the mouse and it snaps back up. The sound and whatnot cuts out, though, it seems more like it's going to sleep then anything else. This only happens while on battery, and I definitely didn't set it like this. Doing some investigation, I have two screensaver apps installed (idk why) one is Xscreensaver and the other is the basic screensaver [19:37] from Ubuntu. I uninstalled Xscreensaver, but the problem persists. What do? [19:37] hey guys im taking the leap ubuntu (finally) [19:37] uzi__: running self test from smart disk utility tell me the disk is "healthy" [19:37] another thing you can try aimio is deleting .config and .nautilus (or if you don't have anything really there yet, all .files in your home dir) and logging back out and then in again, they will be regenerated [19:37] wondering if I could get some pointers [19:37] what does "CTRL+ALT+SysRq+B" do? (BEWARE POSSIBLY DANGEROUS) - a friend just told me to try it [19:38] lahwran: Reboot [19:38] a hard reboot [19:38] hi does anyone know a small lightwieght program [19:38] that I can paste the contents of a screengrab in? [19:38] how can i completly remove a packge in ubuntu? for example, when i do "apt-get remove mysql-server" then "apt-get install mysql-server" it doesnt prompt me the password for root! [19:38] if you're going to use it you should use: REISVB Raising Elephants Is So Very Boring. [19:38] Maahes: Maybe I should have specified my requirements a bit more: Despite the hype for webapps, I am more for a local app that stores the data on my own computer. It should also be using a GUI and should be running on Ubuntu. [19:38] bezao: did you try -purge? [19:38] bezao: apt-get purge instead of apt-get remove. [19:38] Maahes, i did sudo rmmod psmouse and then sudo modprobe psmouse that did not work. [19:39] hallo nerds, i cant get multiple screens to run seperate instead of mirroring, help? [19:39] bezao: that's because you've authenticated for root, and sudo only asks once about every ten minutes. [19:39] slade991: i can't really tell what is wrong without any error messages. perhaps, should you try formatting? [19:39] cmndrkeen: what graphics driver? [19:39] lahwran no, i mean the root pasword for mysql [19:40] lahwran: its an old ibm, how do i find out [19:40] shadaloo yes, but no success, mysql install doesnt ask me the password for root again [19:40] bezao, you should type sudo first to get root privileges otherwise you won't be asked for your password but the command would not executed either. [19:40] bezao: ah. then purge is the correct thing. === Amgine_ is now known as Amgine_lurking [19:40] but it should ask me for the mysql root password again, but it doesnt ! [19:41] ok, i got a smb share that i'd like to automount as soon as the user connects, how would i set networkmanager to do that?

[19:43] uzi__: that's really strange because smart test tell me everything it's ok, fdisk see the disk gparted too [19:43] As I understand it, GPT is the new partition table format?

[19:44] How can I stop Ubuntu recieving updates I do not need? [19:44] aimio, thanks [19:44] solo-mono: in my opinion, awful. [19:45] lahwran: ok thx anyway! [19:45] anvo: depends on what you mean by "do not need". do you not want security updates? [19:45] lahwran: you know your way around networkmanager? [19:45] nyRednek: fairly well, why [19:45] Maahes, i have tried that with the config and nautilus thingy no changes. [19:46] Updater informs me about Nvidia graphics card updates, but I do not have Nvidia in my PC! [19:46] what happened to the "software sources" menu item in system->administration? I used to use that button... === panasonic is now known as Rave1 [19:46] lahwran: well, i'd like to execute a command on connection to a particular wifi network and don't remember how [19:46] !softsources > lahwran [19:46] xangua, thanks the pecan-msn thingie worked, I'm now online :) [19:46] lahwran, please see my private message [19:46] man i hate config stuff :P [19:46] do I have to worry about compatibility when I'm considering using an SSD with ubuntu? [19:47] hi there... my aufs is now running [19:47] hi guys. some of the bash keyboard shortcuts are not working for some reason. I believe it happened after the 10.10 upgrade. It's the shortcuts that start with alt that are not working. e.g. alt+b to go back a word in bash command line [19:47] IdleOne: I know where to get it now, it's just somewhat annoying that it's gone from the easy-to-describe place [19:47] has anyone experience in using AUFS? [19:47] lahwran: any clue or reminder? [19:47] P4G0: I have some bad experiences with AUFS, those count? ask your question. [19:47] lahwran: someone decided it was better hidden :/ [19:47] lahwran: i'm running 10.04.1 on the client [19:47] Mrokii: take a look at gobblerss akregator the sage extension to firefox blogbridge [19:47] nyRednek: why are you asking me? [19:48] aimio: then you're going to have to write configs to X for your touchpad driver, yeah it sucks =\ [19:48] Maahes: I will, thank you. [19:48] any clue ? [19:48] lahwran: you seem to be one of the few around here who know anything [19:48] Maahes, do you know where i can read about that so i know what to add etc.. beacuse i have no clue. [19:48] :P [19:49] cant use my levelone wlan usb adapter, what do i do? [19:49] nyRednek: lol just ask your questions generically. there are plenty of knowledgeable people, after all there are 1500 people here [19:49] aimio: try the !touchpad or !mouse commands to ubuntu, and look for your device on the ubuntu forums [19:49] !touchpad [19:49] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [19:49] so heres a question, i i got ubuntu on on hard drive and need to put win7 on a second, if i disconnect my linux hard drive during install they should both run smoothely yes? [19:49] well, as i was saying, i'd like to automatically issue a smbmount command upon connection to a particular netork [19:49] and google google google, and hang out in here, so when you get stuck, someone might be in to help [19:50] aimio, thanks - did not see anything about pointer trails tho. [19:50] Maahes, thanks [19:50] Though I do not have an Nvidia graphics card nor any Nvidia repository in my repository list, I recieve updates about Nvidia. How do I stop updates for non-critical software I do not need? [19:50] I have two disks. If I list the partition tables with fdisk I get the following output. DISK1: Id ee System GPT. DISK2: Id 83 System Linux. Whats the difference? It's the same filesystem (XFS) on both [19:50] anvo: why do you think you do not need it? [19:50] Because my graphics card is an Intel one... [19:50] grelle: what's the size of the GPT partition? [19:50] >.< [19:50] Maahes: 500GB [19:51] Maahes: The non-gpt is 2TB [19:51] cant use my levelone wlan usb adapter, what do i do? [19:51] oh hehe :) [19:51] nyRednek: google first result for "run command on networkmanager connect" http://osdir.com/ml/networkmanager-list/2010-02/msg00128.html [19:51] anvo: your Intel card likely has an nvidia chip in it. [19:51] hi again all [19:52] Maahes: Does it matter if it's GPT or not? [19:52] Ubuntu software tells me its an Intel chip, not Nvidia! [19:52] Your GPT Partition is the GUID Partition Table see: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table [19:52] Its where the MBR is stored [19:52] Maahes: I've noticed that neither cfdisk or fdisk supports GPT [19:52] lspci, for instance, shows Intel GM chip! [19:53] grelle: handled by the bootloader, not fdisk and the like [19:53] Anyhow, my question is not what chip is my graphics card, but how to stop Update Manager to recieve updates for Nvidia... Then I'll see if I need it or not... [19:54] anvo: dpkg -l | grep nvidia [19:54] test [19:55] anvo: I guess you could tell Synaptic to stay with a certain version. [19:55] Maahes: right, but GPT is the newer format. I don't really need it for these disks. Is there a way to convert it to the "old" format? [19:55] crooks306, the command shows some nvidia packages! [19:55] what happens when you apt-get remove them? [19:55] What is the proceedure to enable 'mouse trails' in ubuntu 10.10/compiz config? [19:55] Mrokii, I don't know how to do that... [19:56] Maahes: Or do I have to wipe the partition table and rebuild it from scratch? [19:56] anvo: what happens when you apt-get remove them? [19:56] anvo: You can lock the version of certain installed packages, so maybe that is possible for the nvida-driver as well, I don't know. [19:56] hmmm === don is now known as Guest76817 [19:56] Maahes: The GPT disk is empty atm, so I don't mind wiping it [19:56] anvo: if you can't remove them out right. Look up pinning. [19:56] anvo: https//help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [19:57] crooks306, I haven't tried yet, but I suppose even if I remove them I'll still receive update notifications about it... [19:57] anvo: scroll down to "Disable Conflicting Software" [19:57] anvo: if they aren't installed then there is nothing to update. [19:57] hello :> i have a wireless-capable laptop that's currently running ubuntu 10.10 and connected to a LAN (via cat-6 cable ;>)...is it possible that i could use the wireless on the laptop to "share" the lan connection to other wireless devices? === ng_ is now known as NG_ [19:58] crooks306, I'll try removing them... [19:58] anvo: are nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx-new, nvidia-settings installed? [19:59] grelle: well it should be a hybrid set up anyways, but you might try partitioning them on a non-EFI board, or try a tool like testdisk [19:59] wyclif, no, not any of them! [19:59] Maahes: Why hybrid? [19:59] helo [19:59] GPT hybrid setup will be recognized on MBR only boards. [19:59] co tam ciekawego [20:00] basically it puts an mbr inside of gpt [20:00] Maahes: Does it really matter for drives that are only used for file storage? [20:01] Maahes: The OS is installed on a separate drive [20:01] How to make program run it's thread when I run it from terminal so terminal stay usable after running an app? [20:01] ah, you want to eliminate either an MBR or GBT [20:01] Okay so I'm in a bit of a predicament. Apparently my flip phone got a virus, or it just unraveled. anyway, it had a microSD card in it, and now nothing will recognize the microSD card. Is there any way I can force ubuntu to mount it? it isn't even showing up in gparted [20:02] grelle: well I know one way that should work cat /dev/zero/ /dev/gpt [20:02] spencer , it should automount, if not, then i am afraid there is more to it.. [20:02] > [20:03] that was missing [20:03] hi can anyone help me with my problem? [20:03] Maahes: well, yes. I'd like to have the same setup on all drives. to keep it tidy. :-) [20:03] ubuntu1 it isn't even showing up as a viable device in disk utility [20:03] http://blog.paulgu.com/2008/01/06/how-to-delete-gpt-protective-partition/ this is the dos way of doing what I just said up there [20:04] Maahes: Ahh, thanks! [20:04] spencer , put it in and open up gnome terminal do an dmesg | tail [20:04] see what it say's [20:04] just dmesg | tail? [20:05] yeah , after its plugged in again [20:05] dsdjkjtye4efggyttrvjgtyrkk jgftiiop+ [20:06] ubuntu1 it says medium error, and more stuff [20:06] thats bad [20:06] ubuntu1 could be worse I guess, it's only a medium error [20:07] spencer , reboot system, and try again , come back if it did not change a thing [20:07] ubuntu1 I don't think it would change anything, I've tried a bunch of stuff already [20:08] yes okay [20:08] spencer: The medium is not the grade of error, it means the storage medium is bad. [20:09] Hello. [20:09] hi can anyone help me with my problem? [20:09] msandoy so the chip is toast, no way to recover it? [20:09] Need to start off with basics about Ubuntu what should I read [20:09] Can i get some help installing openvpn: here's the error: http://pastebin.com/CzLeGqt9 here's sources: http://pastebin.com/0MBjUEkC [20:09] running 10.10 [20:09] Installing on a box with IDE for the first time in a long time. Weird thing is, all three of the drives show up as scsi devices. Is that normal? [20:10] wolfric_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN [20:10] how do i open a jar file that isnt permitted? [20:10] kyle__: yes it is [20:10] spencer , have you got windows as well ? [20:10] I have a problem with my LUKS encrypted raid1, which I successfully open using: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md6 crypt1. This creates /dev/mapper/crypt1. The problem is that the node device for the first partition in crypt1 is missing. It should be /dev/mapper/crypt1p1. The command sfdisk -l /dev/mapper/crypt1 shows /dev/mapper/crypt1p1 exists, but Ubuntu does not create the file. Any idea why? All my files are there and I have been working o [20:10] n this for 8 hours now :( [20:10] ubuntu1: you may try using a live cd and running e2fsck on it, especially with the flag that enables the Badblocks pass (use man e2fsck to find that one) [20:10] ubuntu1 yeah, but if it's for formatting I'd want to DBAN it first [20:10] gobbe: Hu. And if the system doesn't boot afterwards, just hangs at the end of bios (not even into grub)? [20:10] spencer: There might be special software around, but I have actually never had any luck recovering from damaged storage devices. There might be others in here who knows more about that. [20:11] kyle__: well is your hardware ok? [20:11] gobbe: I thought the fact it was showing an ide device as scsi was the issue. [20:11] msandoy alright, but so medium read error means that the chip is more than likely toast? [20:11] gobbe: It runs live cds and the installer perfectly well. None of the drives report errors. [20:11] spencer: testdisk, photorec, scalpel [20:11] yeah toast [20:11] hi folks, I've been trying to build and install the racket source code on my Linux machine (ubuntu 10.10). I created a directory called 'build' in racket-5.0.2/src/ and ran a successful configure --prefix=/usr/local/racket --enable-shared and a successful make. But when I do sudo checkinstall it is failing with an error that says mkdir cannot create paths like /usr/local/racket/lib etc.. [20:11] kyle__: well if you dont even see grub it might be that something is wrong [20:12] testdisk could be worth a try [20:12] em: sudo -s, and then run it again [20:12] zmarty: did you mount /dev/mapper/crypt1p1 ? [20:12] alright [20:12] hi can anyone help me with my problem? [20:12] spencer, by the way, if its toast , no need to dban it.. :P [20:12] spencer: it means that there are errors on the medium. [20:12] gobbe: okay i'll try but I did use sudo checkinstall. [20:12] gobbe: I know that part. That's why I'm here. Was hoping someone may have run into a similar situation installing modern ubuntu on an old box. [20:12] @arunce /dev/mapper/crypt1p1 does not exist, but it should. So I cannot mount it. [20:13] spencer https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [20:13] good luck :P [20:13] thanks ubuntu1 and msandoy [20:13] gobbe: same error with that. [20:14] spencer: Those errors might have come as a result of your phone crashing. The chip might still be ok if you format it. But I guess you are interrested in the content. :-) [20:14] zmarty: sorry, i didn't read all. [20:15] what do people use to play "Microsoft media server (MMS) protocol source" which is what firefox is trying to find a plugin for and failing? [20:16] hi all [20:17] of the 1478 people here.. is no one awake? :) [20:17] hi Veronica [20:17] I have a macbook pro 13.3 with ubuntu 10.10 32bit loaded. The sound works only if I plug in my headphones otherwise I can hear nothing, can anyone help please? [20:18] lesshaste, i seem to remember playing it with mplayer or vlc , but cant give any details [20:18] lesshaste: what are you trying to play? [20:18] I think the answer is ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:18] but I only found that after quite a bit of googling [20:18] gobbe: did you bother to read my pastebin? [20:18] /msg NickServ identify hiyall11 [20:18] hmmm [20:18] lesshaste, and now it streams with the default totem ?

[20:20] I checked all the options, the sound card selected is the right one the alsamixer is not muted and for what reason would it work on headphones and not on normal? [20:20] x3cion: ln. Also cp -lShe may be interested in different sexual activities as well. A woman that once enjoyed oral sex may no longer be interested in fellatio or cunnilingus. A woman that never showed much of an interest in either may now prefer oral sex. She may also be interested in trying new things in the bedroom. This will include sexual positions, especially as her belly expands, but it may not be limited to them. Now is a very good time to engage in both [20:20] xeros: use ln ... [20:20] wolfric_: so are you running 10.04? [20:20] Yowza silly copy paste error. [20:20] hm, family friendly ? [20:21] wolfric_: sorry, 10.109 [20:21] * kyle__ hates the emulated middle click on his laptop. [20:21] * rww blinks [20:21] This must be embarrassing [20:21] lol [20:21] * kyle__ shrugs [20:21] moving swiftly onwards... [20:22] x3cion: I've run the proxy server at a large company before. It's about the least embarrasing of emabarrasing pages you can get. Some are just frightening. [20:22] so what was that about kyle [20:22] wolfric_: try sudo apt-get update, it's in main repository and is installable [20:22] wolfric_: i just installed it from there [20:22] I've got troubles with my encrypted harddisk, if I'm trying to decrypt it via luksOpen it fails and syslog entriy states: device-mapper: table: 252:1: crypt: Device lookup failed (this is experienced on maverick) i don't hav a usb stick, but if i use an image file, cryptsetup works fine... [20:22] clearly it had to do with some research about pregnant women. [20:22] veronica: I was responding to someone asking how to make hard links. ln and cp -l both work for that. [20:22] Now back to support. [20:23] kyle_ that was a really 'hardlink" :P [20:24] kyle__: I want to hardlink between folders, not files [20:24] <__name__> you cannot do that. [20:24] wolfric_: your sources.list is missing main repository [20:24] I must've done it [20:24] <__name__> you cannot hardlink directories. [20:24] x3cion: cp -l I believe is the right one then. [20:24] You can also use it to create a tree of links. [20:24] <__name__> -d, -F, --directory [20:24] <__name__> allow the superuser to attempt to hard link directories (note: [20:24] But it's been awhile since I've done that. [20:24] <__name__> will probably fail due to system restrictions, even for the [20:24] <__name__> superuser) [20:24] __name__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:24] wolfric_: you have it only with maverick-backports but not with maverick [20:25] x3cion: how come you think you "must've done it"? [20:25] please help me with this sound issue [20:25] veronica: You're on a mac, running ubuntu. And the sound is only working when you plug in headphones? [20:25] gobbe: what is the main repository line? [20:26] kyle__, yes, so it's always working but the speakers aren't? [20:26] wolfric_: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted [20:26] wolfric_: or add ie in front of archive if you want local [20:26] Does anybody know why pulse doesn't work really well on 10.10 [20:26] internal speakers [20:26] rww, i found a tut saying that i can find hard links with find / -xdev -samefile file1 [20:26] what's the difference between sgtreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ? [20:26] whats up with transmission using 100% cpu? :( [20:26] gobbe: am i mistaken? or are all the names after the link the repository lists you want to install... i have main there [20:26] veronica: areyou sure that the speakers aren't broken? [20:26] veronica: Sounds like there's an issue with an option being passed to the sound-driver. I hate to say it, but unless you feel like really digging into alsa, it's par for the course using linux on Apple hardware. [20:26] <__name__> why would you want a directory hardlink? [20:26] is there any built in ap for using the webcam on my laptop on ubuntu? [20:27] wolfric_: you have main in maverick-backports [20:27] olá e boa tarde para todos [20:27] __name__: I believe i had an issue with ftp [20:27] wolfric_: not in maverick [20:27] but i also have main after that [20:27] I tried the alsamixer [20:27] what app do you use to use the webcam on your laptop? [20:27] wolfric_: which line? [20:27] gobbe: ah i see [20:27] veronica: Last time I ran linux on a mac-laptop, I had the exact opposit problem (speakers were always on, even when plugging int the headphones). It was years ago, so I forget exactly what the fix was, but it was easy. After I compiled my own version of alsa for the laptop that is. [20:28] wolfric_: so you need to have it also for plain maverick [20:28] !pt | amorimII [20:28] amorimII: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[20:29] veronica: Oh, in alsamixer. [20:29] gobbe: what about the bottom line? [20:29] kyle__, yes [20:29] em: that wasn't directed at you... [20:30] IdleOne: yeah I just noticed, sorry. It highlighted me :) [20:30] veronica: 9.04, 10.04, 10.10?

I know it kindof sucks, but that's as far as I can really help. It is really fixable, but it's not easily fixable. [20:31] If I run a X-Server client on a windows Xp.. to execute programs on my linux server [20:31] Is there a way to keep the programs running if I close the X-server "client" [20:31] And leave it in such a way I can reconnect later [20:31] screen [20:32] I must be the only person in this world being able to hardlink folders === TMKCodes__ is now known as TMKCodes [20:32] crooks306: Thats nothing to do with XWindows [20:33] misread your question I guess Slyboots [20:33] anyone knows how to divide a partition when is using the entire drive?

[21:29] nope, that didn't work [21:29] not sure why [21:29] oh then it somehow ate your configs [21:29] which means... :) [21:29] which meansssss? [21:30] D; [21:30] hello, in case I am connected via wire there is displayed trafic in system monitor widget, but when I use USB 3G modem, there is nothing ...in preferences I can not find anything to set/correct this [21:30] you have to fix the whole thing manually now. Quite painful I must say [21:30] what do i install realplayer11gold deb or realplayer11 gold rpm? [21:30] <|sg> I am looking for a document about: Installing nxserver(gui remote desktop) on ubuntu 10.4 on dedicated server(without monitor). [21:31] |sg: have you tried google? [21:31] well I mean I went to /usr/share/applications in root and edited nautilus-computer.desktop and nautilus-folder-handler.desktop and changed the exec lines to point to thunar [21:31] but that doesn't work either :D [21:31] <|sg> gobbe: yeap they all have ssh server examples not with gui. [21:32] so you can in effect get a working state back with nautilus right? [21:33] |sg: hmmh, and why that is not option for you? [21:33] I can open nautilus again through terminal yeah, but I'm in openbox and nautilus and openbox don't get along [21:33] someone use easystroke? [21:33] oh, you never mentioned openbox being your wm. [21:33] i can configure a gesture, but how can i activate easystroke to use them? [21:33] mongy: you around? [21:33] or at least I missed it :). Not much experience with openbox/thunar here [21:33] I mean I could just back up my .config folder and my conky configs and just install xubuntu where thunar is default ;D [21:34] kcorcoran, sup [21:34] thunar rocks :) [21:34] kody: why not just install thunar? [21:34] i am trying to configure the download path for sabnzbdplus. the default path is downloads (on my local drive). how can i redirect that to my 2nd drive? [21:34] <|sg> gobbe if it is possible to have a remote onnection with GUI on dedicatedwith that way, It is an option for me :) [21:34] mongy: i am trying to configure the download path for sabnzbdplus. the default path is downloads (on my local drive). how can i redirect that to my 2nd drive? [21:34] <|sg> gobbe: is it ? [21:34] wrd: thunar is installed [21:34] kcorcoran, i dont use it... [21:35] kcorcoran, probably have to either edit the conf file or might be some setting available in the web ui === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather === bonhoffer_ is now known as bonhoffer [21:35] kcorcoran_: wget -O /path/to/filename htp://domain/file [21:35] Evening folks. It's been my first full week using Ubuntu as the primary OS on my system. Mostly, everything has been smooth sailing, now I come across a half-favorite, using the terminal. I have a console-only application that I want to use, but it isn't functioning properly. [21:35] kcorcoran, are you using lottanzb now? [21:35] mongy: i think this may be more of a ubuntu question. i can change the folder it stores, but it always stores withi my home directory...that make sense? [21:36] |sg: please clarify: you want to manage your server from your local ubuntu and have a gui? [21:36] Nazaryn: what app and what is going on/ [21:36] mongy: i am trying both of them. want to determine which i prefer [21:36] kcorcoran, ninan no good then? [21:36] It's an IP Table Filtering program called MoBlock. I'm using it to restrict access to a certain set of IPs that I don't want my younger brother getting access to. [21:36] <|sg> guntbert: sorry I want to manage my dedicated server(which do not have monitor) with remote desktop from my local pc [21:36] easystroke mouse gesture: i have add a gesture, but how can i start easystroke to monitor my desktop for gestures? [21:37] mongy: haven't made up my mind - i am judging all of them on ease of setup (from a newbie perspective. [21:37] rethus: is already running [21:37] but it don't show the osd on the monitor and even do nothing [21:37] does ubuntu work well with touchscreens?? i wanna buy multitouchscreen monitor... [21:37] kcorcoran, well thats lotta then. [21:38] I get the following error when I run the startup script (MoBlock-nfq.sh): [: 34: nfq: unexpected operator [21:38] |sg: servers and gui don't go together well - just use ssh and CLI [21:38] /list [21:38] xangua: ? [21:38] mongy: but also data [21:39] Does it mean there's an error on Line 34 of the startup script, or is it a problem parsing the blacklist? [21:39] <|sg> guntbert: I am using CLI and SSH but want to try also GUI . [21:39] Nazaryn: dont restrict the information freedom [21:39] Information freedom and porn are two entirely different things. :) [21:39] mongy: just got it figured out, how to reassign the download folder - needed a leading "/" [21:40] kcorcoran, well, to manually edit the conf for sabznb (be aware lotta might write to it also as it uses it for backend) look in .sabznbplus folder [21:40] |sg: you would have to install a lot of X libraries ... on your server for that [21:40] xangua: ah, now i see, the gestures only working for those applications which are chossed. [21:40] Nazaryn: tell your parents the problem not is your business [21:40] <|sg> guntbert: yeap i know [21:40] mongy: no, i am saying i got it working. i figured it out. [21:41] kcorcoran, ok [21:41] @az_orgdog_maga : Let's avoid the moral end and just help me get this program working please :) [21:41] Nazaryn: It will be easier to use the site block feature in your router. [21:41] xangua: how can i - for example - close pidgin with a gesture? [21:41] why did this happen: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'failed to connect to server'.? [21:41] greetings [21:41] |sg: I still don't see the benefit - please have a look at the server guide [21:41] can someone help me [21:42] My router only blocks individual sites, I am blocking an entire range of IPs [21:42] i dont have any sound on my ubuntu [21:42] !serverguide | |sg [21:42] |sg: The Ubuntu server guide may be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ [21:42] Nazaryn: builtin firewall can do that [21:42] Nazaryn, fwbuilder your friends [21:42] this has been happening to me since 8.10 or so [21:43] rethus, i use compiz for gestures. [21:43] How do I edit bookmark icons? Using AwOken icon set. I have red X for bookmarks in nautilus sidepane and places menu. [21:43] <|sg> guntbert: thanks [21:43] rethus, for example, scale plugin, middle click closes it [21:44] it must be a package im installing because it always works right after install [21:44] mongy: k, but i need no suggestion for kind of gesture, i need a short howto, how my gesture act on pidgin (maybe the close-button) [21:45] |sg: and just for playing around you can install single X apps (along with a small set of libraries) and then run them via ssh -X [21:45] mongy: i choose "add application and click "where" on pidgin window? [21:45] anyone knows how to fix a broken synaptic on ubuntu 10.04? [21:45] rethus, Im unfamiliar with that gesture program you are using. [21:45] is there a command to figure out the chipset on my motherboard, especially regarding SaTA as well? [21:46] is there a command to list all files of a specifc owner only? [21:46] @az_ordog_maga .. apt-get? [21:46] kaddi_: lspci [21:46] ish_: look for the find manual you can do that with find. [21:46] kaddi_: lspci will most likely say, or you can try sysinfo or lshw-gtk [21:47] Nazaryn: apt-get work fine but synaptic and update manager would not update.. [21:47] reate a launcher for atlas (FGFS add on), i can run atlas in a terminal via Atlas --path=$FG_ROOT/Atlas --udp=5513. This same command pasted in a launcher wont load the terrain data. HELP PLS [21:47] ish_: sudo ls -Rla / | grep "Owner" [21:47] anyone using easystroke? and can tell me how to configure it to close the open Pidgin-(or other programm) ?

Oh and by the way whenever I try to run Hardware Drivers it just says it can't find anything and says there are no proprietary drivers. Can someone help? I cannot connect no matter how hard I try.

[22:22] ActionPa1snip: o rly? weird. [22:22] anyone here using Netgear ReadyNAS duo? [22:22] GeekyAdam: truly, I recommend LXDE on netbooks, its light and fast :) [22:22] ive run desktop on it, but if netbook runs better i might be willing to use that instead [22:23] ActionPa1snip: LXDE? is that a version of ubuntu? [22:23] GeekyAdam, thats probably true, and I like the desktop gui as well [22:23] GeekyAdam: and due to lightness, works the cpu less, saving power, extending battery life [22:23] GeekSquid, lubuntu [22:23] GeekyAdam: LXDE is a desktop environment, like gnome [22:23] here you go guys: http://paste.ubuntu.com/549647/ thats just a little glimpse of the looping error i always encounter,. [22:23] How do I kill a process? sudo kill -term XXXX isn't working, the process still appears in ps aux.

[22:24] Nazaryn: XXXX should be the pid [22:24] Nazaryn: killall name or if you know the PID, kill PID [22:24] I installed the netbook version, but it some how changed into the desktop GUI [22:24] ... just the default i got for xchat, i need these error resolved... lol http://paste.ubuntu.com/549647/ [22:24] sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu :) [22:24] Nazaryn: if it refuses to die, use: kill -9 PID [22:24] rusty149, i can't run that command while logged in... i'd have to log in as su - how do i do this... i think this is discouraged, isn't it? [22:24] mongy: package ubuntu doesn't exist ;) [22:25] Nazaryn: use "top" then type "k" (i think) then the pid of the process u want to kill [22:25] Ooh. Kill -9 worked fantastically.

[22:32] rebekah, yep in priv [22:32] guntbert, while installing i accidentally gave my pc the username - and the user the pc name... [22:32] :D [22:32] ubuntu: Are you booting from an external HDD? [22:32] yes [22:32] rusty149: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo (far down) [22:33] nicofs: You could boot from a livecd. Use chroot and run the command [22:33] ubuntu, FYI torrents and downloads dont slow down/ buffer up my streams on windows, which means something is wrong ^.^ [22:33] ubuntu: Don't lol.

This is one reason why 32bit is recommended [22:34] ubuntu: Oh ok.

[22:42] teson2000: setup the tunnel as you wish, just dont use the subsequent vnc connection. You can obviously change port numbers [22:43] teson2000: or do you mean so your system acts like a router?

[23:37] hi, I have a problem that I haven't been able to find an answer to rgarding my new Lucid server installation [23:37] sev8: that is ? [23:37] I have this problem when I try to mount my RAID1 array at boot time: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/206129/comments/27 [23:37] i have given commad to shutdown how to abort that job [23:37] i'm typing ;) [23:37] go to system> administration > lonin screen, unlock it, and choose the login as user automatically. You can uncheck to give time to others to log in also. [23:38] if I set noauto in the /etc/fstab for the RAID array, then the server initialises successfully [23:38] NixGeek, Ok I will give that a try now. [23:38] i have given commad to shutdown how to abort that job [23:38] I'm looking for an alternate way to mount my RAID array at boot time, but later in the process and was thinking about putting it in the /etc/rc3.d ... is this a terrible idea? [23:38] Guest22213, tell me if it works. [23:39] ok [23:39] any help is appreciated [23:40] help me [23:40] ?

[23:43] NixGeek: type "ios" and hit TAB [23:44] iostream: thank you, that will help alot. I tend to answer people alot [23:44] if you're a nix geek you should've already known this [23:45] NixGeek, It does login now BUT it asks for the keyring password which is causing me to be unable to ssh into the box until that is entered. Any ideas? [23:45] any reason why /etc/rc.local and /etc/rc?.d/* are not being honored by my ubuntu system? I read about this upstart, tried making service files for it.. nothing. [23:46] Guest22213: do you keep any keys on the keyring? [23:46] g [23:47] sev8, how did you setup the mirror ? [23:47] NixGeek, I have only set up an admin account with a password. That is the only password i have set up. I am not exactly sure about any keys [23:48] Olaaa [23:49] olaa diabloo [23:49] hi [23:49] DasEi_: I followed the Linux RAID Wiki. Something along the lines of mdadm -C /dev/md0 --num-devices 2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 --num-spares 0 [23:50] not the exact parameter names, but you get the idea [23:50] exit [23:50] anyone have a nvidia card and after updating you ubuntu splash screen when to kinda like text mode ? [23:50] Guest22213: then you probably don't, either way, it shouldn't matter. go to Applications> Accessories> passwords and encryption keys and then edit> preferences then highlist the login - automaticaly unlocked when user logs in entry and then click change unlock password, type in your login password for old password and leave the new password fields blank. click change and then click use unsafe storage. I hg2g [23:50] can I get auto completion feature like bash when I am SSHing to another machines folder? Any scripts? [23:50] sev8, yes, and then crypted it ? [23:51] ok NixGeek, Thanks for your help [23:51] DasEi_: no, it's unencrypted [23:51] How do i play a wav file from commandline?

(SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad). [23:55] sev8, so system won't boot with the message from the buglist ? [23:55] aimio: you may need an xorg.conf file to define it [23:55] DasEi_: yes, md0 and the system won't boot [23:55] ActionPa1snip, you generate one by doing evtest ?.. [23:55] DasEi_: The FATAL message, not the WARNING message [23:56] sev8, how does the boot behave ?

[23:56] aimio: you may need to hunt the web to find sample files [23:56] ActionPa1snip, i have installed mplayer...it works nicely....is there a way to make it repeat the file? [23:56] ActionPa1snip, kk thx. [23:57] aimio: you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get write access [23:57] I need to change my console (i.e., Ctrl+Alt+F1) resolution to something that will work with NTSC, I guess 640x480. I edited /etc/grub.d/10_linux and changed the block of code that wrote "set gfxmode" to write "set gfxmode=keep" and uncommented the line that set GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub, and ran sudo update-grub but to no avail. Any ideas, anyone? [23:57] ActionPa1snip, yeah that i know. [23:57] i'm just not sure how the line for my right click should look like :S [23:58] Diverdude: i believe repeat is default [23:58] Hello. Does anyone know how I can find duplicate files in a directory and replace them with hard links? [23:58] aimio: if its a laptop, you could check www.linux-laptop.net [23:59] ActionPa1snip, yeah i'm there right now :D [23:59] DasEi_: ah, I can't remember so well anymore. The last time I saw it was 2 or 3 days ago, as after that I set noauto. I think that after the BIOS screen the ssytem says that it's mounting disks then gives the FATAL error [23:59] Rigorm0rtis, fdupes lets you find : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647883 [23:59] The error is shown before I now see "AppArmor: AppArmor initialized"
