[00:00] So I'm kind of stuck here. I've downloaded the ISO, *made sure the MD5 was right*, and burned ths CD. It doesn't boot, but only says "Cannot mount /dev/loop0". So I follow the intructions to make a USB drive, and the bootloader doesn't see it as bootable [00:00] awesome_guest: See all these people with problems? Sometimes a new kernel breaks stuff. Sometimes you don`t realise. Old kernels are good. [00:00] cp24eva, what are you installing/upgrading? [00:00] (this is a macboot, by the way) [00:00] sacarlson: rather i didnt think of that at all [00:00] aroman, I think it's a total system update [00:00] Yetanotherx, what machine are you running? [00:00] macbook [00:00] nothingspecial: yes, I am removing the oldest kernel out of 3 [00:00] CodeWar: i hear you man ! just want a choice.. would be nice thats all [00:00] Macbook1,1 [00:00] For some reason, my panel on top where my user name i displayed is shown twice, for example... if my user name was bam,it would say X bam bam [00:00] mac won't boot off of usb Yetanotherx [00:00] cp24eva, ah yeah, if you haven't done them in a while (or ever) they can take a little while :) [00:00] Yetanotherx, well, to start off, I think EFI (Intel) machines are unable to usb boot [00:01] sfears: redcode: I've booted off of other USB disks before, but ok then. [00:01] Back to the CD issue. [00:01] MrUnagi: I know you want me to write your bash script for you witch I can but I'm just tooo lazy [00:01] awesome_guest: why does it bother you? [00:01] Yetanotherx: mabey it burned to fast (a slower burn is better). Have you tried the cd in another computer? [00:01] aroman, it would be a first time. I just built this PC yesterday and loaded ubuntu. [00:01] sacarlson: i can do it, thanks though [00:01] Yetanotherx: What did you use to 'burn' it to the stick? [00:01] redcode: The terminal [00:01] NixGeek: I'll try that [00:01] Yetanotherx: sudo dd etc.? [00:01] Yeah, redcode [00:02] For some reason, my panel on top where my user name i displayed is shown twice, for example... if my user name was bam,it would say X bam bam [00:02] I tell rEFIt to load the CD, and it loads a purple screen for a while, then it gives me the error. [00:02] nothingspecial: well, that kernel was released something like 2 years ago.. not even supported anymore. Why keep it? Hard enough as it is trying to get everything in my system "right" [00:02] Yetanotherx: I suppose you booted into open firmware to set the stick as your boot device? [00:02] redcode: What do you mean? [00:02] No one has setup ubuntu server as a router? [00:03] Evening everyone, I'm trying to do some learning, I have this error message http://i52.tinypic.com/r0bg47.png I know I can press Delete, but can I delete it from the command line instead [00:03] Yetanotherx: Well, to boot off a USB stick, you usually boot into open firmware and set it as boot device [00:03] Yetanotherx: At least, that's how I did it, wouldn't work otherwise [00:03] Hmm.. [00:03] AlexJ_: is there a .applets fo?lder somewhere in your /home/user directory [00:03] Oh... I have to press space when i see the purple screen [00:04] Now to try that [00:04] aroman, alright, it's started. now what? [00:04] PsPhaKeR_: right click the top panel go to property's select auto hide just for a moment then unclick it should sort it out glitch [00:04] awesome_guest: ha,ha....... I keep old kernels ........ just in case, what`s wrong with your system? [00:04] NixGeek: It did the same thing on a windows box [00:04] Back in a minute, redcode and NixGeek [00:04] Trying again [00:04] sure [00:04] AlexJ_: that is talking about an applet on the panel not an actual file. Pressing delete will remove it fromt he panel, nothing else. you will be able to add it back to the panel [00:04] I mean, it works.. it just has like half the battery life compared to XP lol [00:04] AlexJ_: did you recently upgrade? [00:04] cp24eva, compiz-config is? [00:05] I have an SSD, need to look around and minimize unnecessary I/O as well [00:05] milamber: fresh install [00:05] !ccsm | aroman [00:05] aroman: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [00:05] aroman, actually....no it isn't. lol. hold on [00:05] sfears: no .applets folder [00:05] botcity: It did not fix :( [00:05] all the "tweaks" optimizing Ubuntu's I/O has been geared towards hard drives [00:05] bastidrazor, Erm, I was explaining to him how to use it, but thanks anyhow :D [00:05] So, what is the best way to replace WebMin? [00:05] which may make SSD performance even worse [00:05] awesome_guest: know less than nothing about bbatteries [00:05] aroman, ok i think I can handle a GUI lol. thanks again. [00:06] batteries [00:06] cp24eva, :D yeah, the plugin you'll want to use is called "Expo", and make sure to look at "Edge bindings" (screen edges). good luck! [00:06] what is used to default the panel again? [00:06] !panelreset [00:07] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:07] it slowed down [00:07] AlexJ_: try and uninstall/reinstall gnome-applets and gnome-applet-data [00:07] PsPhaKeR_: hmm click on some other options for a bit !! it should clear itself [00:08] ubottu: thanks! [00:08] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [00:08] botcity: too late :D [00:08] It does not matter though [00:08] I am having strange problems when booting linux up [00:08] Am I right in expecting sound to Just Work with 10.10, on a laptop with an "Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio" audio device? aplay -l shows no soundcards, as does Sound Preferences -> Hardware [00:08] It takes up to 4 minutes to turn on to log in menu [00:09] PsPhaKeR_: wow thats extreme [00:10] PsPhaKeR_: i think the name at the top panel is the last of your worries [00:11] chris? [00:11] botcity: it is very bothersome and weird, I have nothing altered with the panel, the only thing I change is that I delete the mail client thing [00:12] redcode: So I loaded from CD. I selected both Check CD for defects and Try without installing, and it gave the same error both times [00:12] PsPhaKeR_: haha I'm reading about that just now. Try "sudo apt-get install gnome-panel" [00:12] hallo [00:12] botcity: Also it takes up to 4-5 minutes to turn my computer on, with linux ofc and get to the login screen [00:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Evolution#Uninstalling Evolution [00:12] please helpme [00:12] !ask | ivnnvi [00:12] ivnnvi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:12] Yetanotherx: Meh. [00:12] I was trying to uninstall evolution too.. bad idea :p [00:13] who else here is using irssi? :) [00:13] good grief you'd think its windows !! [00:13] PsPhaKeR_: just ask your question [00:13] creative rnt i lol [00:13] I already did [00:13] mosty, no required driver detected for unity. you will need to choose the ubuntu desktop edition once you select your user name. if you are yousing a live cd then your username is ubuntu with a password of ubuntu [00:13] PsPhaKeR_: no, that's a poll, not a question. [00:13] as i said it didn't say much [00:13] I asked a question one sec ago [00:14] I configured https but not as long as I load the page that you remove the lock and the blue bar, why? [00:14] also, read https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76295 and see about installing all the packages that you think were reomved [00:14] it was faster earlier [00:14] !poll | PsPhaKeR_ [00:14] PsPhaKeR_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:14] hi - I want to move files from one ubuntu laptop to another - using a hub - is there a guide - also i dont want the network config changes i make to be permanent? [00:14] It was "When I turn my computer on, it takes a while to turn on to the log in screen... like up to 3-4 minutes" [00:15] PsPhaKeR_: oh, didn't see that one or how it related to irssi. have you tried booting without all of the gui stuff on the screen? [00:15] I configured https but not as long as I load the page that you remove the lock and the blue bar, why?if I do not do any port mapping problem === taka is now known as Guest13089 [00:15] Yes and it still takes a while for some reason [00:16] mosty, i just found a solution on the first link on google lol [00:16] christoph 411> did it all work? [00:16] PsPhaKeR_: as in, press ESC during bootup to get rid of the 'quiet splash' [00:16] PsPhaKeR_: yes, well, it will say why if you do that [00:16] cradam, great- because that error message is really crappy ;) [00:16] I configured https but not as long as I load the page that you remove the lock and the blue bar, why?because it is self-certified...but if I do not do any port mapping problem [00:17] how can i get byobu to stop starting on login? [00:17] mosty how do i get this driver Actually the problem caused by non 3d graphics driver. I did not install any 3d support [00:18] cradam, what video chipset do you have? [00:18] ivnnvi: you can't get your self signed https page to display? [00:18] When I turn on the computer, there is a blinking insertion point on a black screen for about 10-15 secs, then a block of text appears for about 1-1.5 secs and then the screen turns off (completely black) and then Ubuntu loads up after a while [00:18] nvidea geforce 2 go [00:18] PsPhaKeR_, does this text say anything about codecs? [00:19] PsPhaKeR_: yeah, all of that 'blinking' and 'blank' stuff is the kernel starting up - the trick is to get rid of all of that so that you can actually *read* what the kernel is actually doing so that when it lags, it will tell you exactly what it's lagging on about [00:19] cradam, login and install the proprietary nvidia driver [00:19] sacalson:only for a moment, check the bar and the padlock [00:19] after removing ZumoDrive from Ubuntu, I am getting the error message at login that is an indication that I have no disk space left. I am using the Live version to access my drives. I used the Disk Usage Analyzer and it reports that all of my partition has been used. Is it safe to remove 2.6.32-*-generic by just deleting it? Or is there a way to uninstall apps via the Live version? [00:19] ok guys brb [00:19] I am gonna check it out [00:19] PsPhaKeR_: and this is done by modifying the boot arguments to the kernel by removing 'quiet splash' [00:19] wait [00:19] cradam, do a google search for ubuntu nvidia [00:20] what do you mean by "quiet splash"? [00:20] ivnnvi: you want to view the certificate by clicking the lock in the bottom corner? [00:20] they are 'quiet splash', the boot arguments to the kernel that grub uses in order to boot the system. [00:20] ok brb [00:21] Hello [00:21] has network-admin been replaced in the latest versions of ubuntu ? [00:22] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia [00:22] hey guys.... how can i access ipod touch filesystem from ubuntu [00:22] I can live with the boot time, it seems to work fine enough, but my audio is un-berable!!!! it sounds more like static [00:22] !ipod | Mba7eth [00:22] Mba7eth: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [00:22] I want icons of ubuntu with all the same size. [00:23] PsPhaKeR_: are speakers plugged in? [00:23] nope [00:23] sacalson:I want an ordinary self-certified but here it says it is normal not verified [00:23] PsPhaKeR_: what about headphones? does sound sound the same way in them as through the laptop speakers? [00:24] idk [00:24] Ill check [00:24] okay [00:24] I want icons of ubuntu with all the same size. I found the problem is not the same size I do not like. [00:24] ivnnvi: I guess I would have to see it to understand it [00:24] What should I do. [00:24] sacalson:But if I remove the router's port mapping this problem does not arise [00:24] https://www.ivancristina.com/ [00:25] ivnnvi: self signed certificates aren't verified they are just encrypted [00:25] How can I fix bad sectors on a disk from the CLI? [00:25] BBBBGnea: Works perfectly through headphones, but I want it to work without them [00:26] Gnea: Works perfectly through headphones, but I want it to work without them [00:26] NaAnNA: you mean desktop icons ? [00:26] sacalson:then it is normal [00:26] I want icons of ubuntu with all the same size. I found the problem is not the same size I do not like.What should I do to fix this problem or no solutions. [00:26] ivnnvi: what is normal? http? [00:26] PsPhaKeR_: I can't hear it, so I can't say what the problem is. perhaps the speakers bass is blown? [00:26] This is a NEW computer [00:27] sacalson:anyway I have my tunnel relatively safe? [00:27] Basically, the sound is more static than anything that it tries to put out [00:27] I have a Dell Inspiron 17R with an "Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio" audio device, with 10.10 installed. aplay -l shows no soundcards, as does Sound Preferences -> Hardware. Do I need to install specific drivers or mess with /etc/modules.conf or something? [00:27] PsPhaKeR_: this means nothing, have you tried adjusting all levels of volume with alsamixer? [00:27] apparently u can get nvidia drivers in 104 but not in 1010 mosty [00:28] I seen that, but i did not understand it, like at all [00:28] PsPhaKeR_: differences between the master and pcm levels tend to have an effect [00:28] Hi, could someone help me with a rookie level bash issue? I have a command that works fine normally, but not in a script for some reason [00:28] PsPhaKeR_: ah, well it's pretty simple: there's a master control for the volume, and then other volume controls for other streams (like browser, mp3, etc) [00:29] How should they be adjusted? [00:29] SonicComKid: whats the command [00:29] PsPhaKeR_: cdrom, microphone, etc [00:29] PsPhaKeR_: open a terminal and type: alsamixer [00:29] SonicComKid: as long as its not to long let us have it [00:29] i need to find them on synaptic [00:29] should be pretty self-evident what to do next [00:29] it's a short line [00:29] tar jcvf test_$(date +%b%d_%Y_%I-%M%p).tar.bz2 backup/ [00:29] need to do output to the parallel port on 10.4.1 - code i found uses asm/io.h - where is this file - gcc says it can't find it [00:30] MASTER is 100<>100 && PCM is 100<>100 [00:30] icons of ubuntu with all the same size. I found the problem is not the same size I do not like.What should I do to fix this problem or no solutions. [00:30] Gnea: MASTER is 100<>100 && PCM is 100<>100 [00:30] PsPhaKeR_: that could be a problem - keeping both at max can damage a sound system. try lowering PCM to 85 [00:30] or as close to 85 that you can get [00:31] itaylor57, botcity, when I run the command in bash, it works fine. It makes a bzip2 archive of the folder 'backup' with the name 'backup_' being the date and time. If I put this in a script though it says 'file not found' [00:31] So, ok how can I save it like that? [00:31] Does it automatically save it? [00:31] icons of ubuntu with all the same size. I found the problem is not the same size I do not like.What should I do to fix this problem or no solutions -_- [00:32] SonicComKid: are you running the script in the same dir as backup ? [00:32] Gnea: Should MASTER be kept at 100<>100 ?/ [00:32] yes, first thing I made sure to test [00:32] itaylor57, yes, first thing I make sure to test. (sorry keep forgetting to tag names on my posts) [00:32] && means 'when previous process is finished, do the next command' right? [00:33] Gnea: Docking External Internal is all 85<>85 [00:33] SonicComKid: What about using full paths? [00:33] itaylor57, my script is in the same dir as where I can successfully run the command from, and my working directory is where I am when I run the command [00:33] PsPhaKeR_: master should be fine at 100, try to keep everything else at 85 or lower [00:33] MrUnagi: if previous finishes w/o errors [00:33] Ok, how do I save those settings? [00:33] well i cant use nvideas site the earliest they go back to is 5 cards after mine the geforce 7go [00:34] PsPhaKeR_: they're saved on-the-fly [00:34] milamber: hmmm i have to learn fault tolerance then lol [00:34] jink, you think it's not grabbing properly from my working dir? Is there a way to make it grab the working dir based on the location of the script, or must I delcare it in the script by using cd first? [00:34] Can anyone tell me how I can configure Conky? [00:34] PsPhaKeR_: how does sound sound now? [00:34] one sec [00:35] Also, why are youtube nd all videos soooo laggy? [00:35] I did not have this problem on Windows [00:35] PsPhaKeR_: no idea, they shouldn't be [00:35] SonicComKid: cd `basedir "$0"` might work. But I tend to just be explicit, and hard-code the paths. [00:35] PsPhaKeR_: perhaps your video driver isn't up to snuff [00:35] Do I have to install something for them to work better? [00:36] PsPhaKeR_: perhaps, can you bring up a terminal and tell me what the output of this command is? lspci | grep VGA [00:36] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [00:36] jink, okay, I'll try hard coding first, like this right? tar jcvf /data/place/test_$(date +%b%d_%Y_%I-%M%p).tar.bz2 /data/place/test/ [00:36] PsPhaKer_ have you animation in compiz on ? === n00b2 is now known as j00shue [00:36] PsPhaKeR_: basically, sound should sound good to your ears - as a rule of thumb, I always start at 85 and adjust from there until it sounds good [00:36] Lantchips: good point. [00:36] SonicComKid: If those are your paths, sure. [00:37] jink, okay, testing [00:37] ^__^ [00:37] PsPhaKeR_: hm, it should work alright, I've got one of those in my netbook [00:37] jink, same result [00:37] jink, is the date code somehow interpteted differently when run as a script? [00:37] Lantchips: what? === j00shue is now known as n00b2 [00:38] PsPhaKeR_ Do you have animations on like Compiz running at the same time like the cube etc ? [00:38] jink, I assumed scripts did nothing more than run commands exactly the same way you would if you typed them in yourself [00:38] SonicComKid: You put it in a script, how? Do you have a #! at the start of the script and does that point to an interpreter that exists? [00:38] wish me luck [00:38] Lantchips: idk I don't think so, if it requires installing then prob not [00:38] SonicComKid: Note there's a difference between commands here, or ./script.sh or bash script.sh [00:38] jink, no I do not. I never knew scripts required a header of any sort. I thought I could just make a list of commands [00:39] also my audio is still messsed up [00:39] it doesn't require installation right click the desktop [00:39] about 10 mins till i know whether ive broken the install [00:39] jink, huh.. bash backup.sh works! but not ./backup.sh why is that? [00:39] PsPhaKeR_ and the change desktop thingy and then you pick uhmm the tab to the right wait let me boot my ubuntu pc [00:40] What's the error? [00:40] !shebang > SonicComKid [00:40] SonicComKid: Probably because the author of the script incorrectly assumed that /bin/sh == bash. [00:40] PsPhaKeR_: that would be the appearances tab [00:40] !oneko [00:40] oneko is the cat of cats, the loler with minnions, the sudo apt-get installable one, the cat of our times, but not the cat of the command line! [00:40] Jordan_U: The author is himself. ;) [00:41] PsPhaKeR_: try etting it to none, and then testing flash [00:41] KM0201 Thank you [00:41] Lantchips: :) [00:41] I don't see it [00:41] PsPhaKeR_: what verison of ubuntu are you using? === textualTESTing is now known as kirstin [00:41] SonicComKid: So, what's the error? [00:41] rumpe1, jink, I assumed the console itself *is* bash, is this untrue? When I run a script using ./ what interpeter runs? [00:41] 10.10 === kirstin is now known as kirshrjfkh [00:41] SonicComKid: The one you specify in the script. ;) [00:41] rightclick the desktop [00:41] SonicComKid: the shell script needs the full path to the files to work, command line works in the current working directory [00:41] PsPhaKeR_: right click your desktop, change background, *visual effects* tab.. change to none [00:41] jink, and if none is specified? [00:41] SonicComKid: The interpreter specified after '#!' on the first line of the script. [00:41] PsPhaKeR_: have you checked with system->administration->hardware drivers? [00:42] Gnea: he's got an intel GPU [00:42] SonicComKid: If none is specified then the script won't run with "./script.sh". [00:42] KM0201: I know. [00:42] SonicComKid: I haven't a clue, really. What's the error? [00:42] There isnt anything that says "hardware drivers" it only has "additional drivers" [00:42] Gnea: intel GPU's don't have drivers in the hardware drivers section.. at least that i've ever saw [00:42] ever [00:42] jink, itaylor57, Jordan_U, I'll place #!bash on the first line of the script and try ./backup.sh and see what happens, as bash backup.sh worked [00:42] KM0201: would prefer to make sure that nothing's there [00:43] SonicComKid: That still doesn't answer my question. :/ [00:43] Gnea: well, if its intel, ther's nothing there. [00:43] SonicComKid: #!/bin/bash [00:43] thanks you!!! That fixed the video lag!!! [00:43] I still have problems though :( [00:43] PsPhaKer_ What was the error ? [00:43] error? [00:43] where? [00:43] PsPhaKeR_: w/ that GPU... desktop effects will drag it down.. and that will cause issues w/ flash, etc. [00:43] PsPhaKer_ Or what removed the video lagg :P [00:43] !intel | PsPhaKeR_, KM0201 [00:43] PsPhaKeR_, KM0201: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [00:44] jink, the error was 'file not found' I believe. Having trouble answering all of you fast enough [00:44] Gnea: i'm aware of that [00:44] Jordan_U, thanks for the correction [00:44] SonicComKid: You're welcome. [00:44] The graphics and video stuff is fine now :) [00:44] But my audio is still pretty messed up :| [00:44] good thing is that its only installing to the latest kernal so if it breaks i just run the old kernal [00:44] like really messed up [00:44] SonicComKid: Errors tend to be longer, but sure. :) You know what to do next time. ;) [00:44] PsPhaKeR_: like how messed up? [00:44] PsPhaKeR_: like, whats wrong w/ it? [00:44] myself I write my scripts in ksh [00:45] like static-y and very hard to listen to [00:45] Gnea: even then, thats all for Jaunty.. i've really not had any problems w/ the intel graphics under 10.10 [00:45] jink, the error message is beyond my buffer. [00:45] PsPhaKeR_: try lowering all volumes to 50, including master and try again [00:45] SonicComKid: Doesn't matter. [00:46] KM0201: I don't even use 10.10, I just try to help solve problems for it. 10.04 is stable enough for me and my needs. [00:46] hellos, i formatted my hard drive and installed ubuntu off USB and now after GRUB i get this: http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1323/p00115.jpg [00:46] Does anyone know to remove a font from the system? [00:46] can anyone help? [00:46] Gnea: Amen [00:46] Gnea: i still don't know how pointing to a thread about jaunty, is relevant to 10.04 [00:46] KM0201: intel is intel is intel [00:46] Gnea: the last post in that thread, was june 09 [00:46] jink, I'm really confused now.. even after removing the #!/bin/bash line, it now works with ./backup but it originally didn't before I added the #!/bin/bash line. I'm really confused why I can't reproduce the issue now [00:46] Gnea: thats like saying because something was a problem in dapper, its obvioiusly a problem in maverick.. thats ridiculous [00:47] Hi, I need help. I deleted some items (duplicate entries) from my gnome menu (via the edit menu dialog) but now my Places menu is all screwed up (opens "Find Files" dialog instead of Nautilus)...what did I do? How do I reset nautilus to open from Places menu? (I'm using ubuntu lucid lynx) [00:47] Gnea: the link isn't even relevant to 10.04 or 10.10. [00:47] KM0201: doesn't matter, the information could be relevent. just because 10.10 is 10.10 doesn't mean that the same trick couldn't be used for 10.10, and if not, why hasn't it been properly documented? [00:47] how? [00:47] 9.04 is EOL anyway... [00:47] KM0201: then find some proper documentation for it for 10.10 [00:47] that's not my problem. [00:47] Gnea: the problem is resovle already.. thats my point. [00:47] I installed 2 fonts and then removed them because I didn't like them. Now I removed them using FontMatrix and they no longer appear in there. Yet when I got to OpenOffice and scroll though fonts they still appear. [00:47] jink, Jordan_U, I'm going to run around and start putting #!/bin/bash in all my scripts.. no wounder I always had so much trouble with scripts [00:48] jink, Jordan_U, thanks for all the help [00:48] you're pointing to ancient links describing a problem, that does not exist on 10.10, or 10.04 [00:48] SonicComKid: You're welcome. [00:48] KM0201: agreed [00:48] SonicComKid: np. [00:48] who cares p_res its just fonts [00:48] KM0201: if it's in ubottu, it must still be relevent [00:48] Did not fix [00:48] hellos, i formatted my hard drive and installed ubuntu off USB and now after GRUB i get this: http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1323/p00115.jpg [00:48] cradam: I care. If you can't help, ignore my message. [00:48] Gnea: hardly, just hasn't been removed yet. [00:48] lol [00:49] PsPhaKeR_: whats your audio device? [00:49] PsPhaKeR_: what are you trying to listen to? [00:49] brb hopefully [00:49] <_Synergy_> One of my monitors is not being properly detected and I'm in xorg hell... Aren't there any tools to help you setup xorg.conf (besides the nvidia-settings app)?? [00:49] I don't know if it is at all interesting but, when I watch the video [with sound turned to 50] and then I check alsamixer again and for somereason the levels are up to 100<>100 again, why? [00:49] can anyone help me? [00:49] Gnea: just a video [00:50] KM201: idk [00:50] PsPhaKeR_: find it in lspci [00:50] KM201: How can I check? [00:50] PsPhaKeR_: could be a different mixer you're using for it at the top of the screen [00:50] Sterist: just ask your question, if we can help, we'll answer [00:50] KM0201 i formatted my hard drive and installed ubuntu off USB and now after GRUB i get this: http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1323/p00115.jpg [00:50] PsPhaKeR_: if PCM is equal to or higher than MASTER, it will likely sound like crap [00:51] Well, it changes itself to 100<>100 after watching a video [even if I changed it to 50<>50 earlier, why? [00:51] Sterist: if i had to guess, it looks like its saying your disk does not exist. [00:51] KH0201 any suggestions? :( [00:51] PsPhaKeR_: not sure, try changing the volume from within the video itself [00:52] anyone know how to save graphics cards fan settings? [00:52] THIS IS FRUSTRATING!!! aghhh [00:52] I did not have this problem when I first installed Ubuntu [00:52] exit [00:52] bye [00:52] thanks [00:52] PsPhaKeR_: you do realize all these folk are just spitting in the wind, cuz you've still not even revealed what you rsound device is [00:53] PsPhaKeR_: I know it is, but it can be solved, just need a bit of patience to go through each step [00:53] Sterist: did you have a ubuntu on the system before you formated it? [00:53] KM201: It is along list, I will post it somewhere and give a list ok?

[00:54] Sterist: I'm getting the connection times out with your image, try http://imagebin.org/ [00:54] sacarlson no. i have installed ubuntu on 4 consoles before so i am familiar with the process but i have never had this happen before. [00:54] is google dns down or patiatially down? [00:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/551668/ [00:55] Sterist: I would have guessed you installed the mbr to the wrong disk, as sometimes usb flash will become sdaX [00:55] i'm reading this to configure alsa to play surround sound "But it can be because your card uses the same sockets for some input and output channels. Often the Line in socket is also used for the LFE output channel and the Mic socket for the Center output channel, or viceversa. If this is the case you must use the appropriate toggles in the mixer controls to ensure that those sockets are used for output and not input." [00:55] where are those toggles? in alsamixer?? how do i change the direction of the sockets? [00:55] KM201: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551668/ [00:56] sacarlson yes i checked with Gparted and the USB was listed as SDA (while under LIVE boot) [00:56] PsPhaKeR_: strange, i have 82801h, and it sounds perfect [00:56] nixgeek http://imagebin.org/131535 [00:56] Sterist: try live boot your usb and try sudo fdisk -l [00:56] !tab | PsPhaKeR_ [00:56] PsPhaKeR_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:56] sacarlson would that fix the problem or help diagnose it [00:57] <^Phantom^> I have a question regarding wlan connections. Is there any way to force the connection to bind to a particular IP with the router? [00:57] Sterist: then you will have to reload grub mbr onto the correct disk sdb [00:57] using maverick netbook remix. can't seem to figure out how to connect to my win7 shares, please assist. [00:57] <^Phantom^> I am able to do it with my windows OS on here. [00:57] sacarlson i can confirm that it reads USB as SDA based on the check i did with LIVE earlier [00:57] Sterist: that would be the diagnostic [00:57] How come my sound settings in alsamixer NEVER get saved!! [00:57] anyone know how to edit the alsa-base.conf file? [00:57] sacarlson okay gotcha, so how would i reload it to SDB? [00:57] <^Phantom^> But I want to also do it with ubuntu [00:58] elvensin, sudo nano /etc/alsa-base.conf ?? [00:58] How come my sound settings in alsamixer NEVER get saved!! [00:58] @the-baker will try [00:58] SonicComKid: http://www.youtube.com/user/metalx1000#p/c/465C6C735CEB7CBD/69/CsBVaJelurE for more tuts [00:58] PsPhaKer_ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/alsamixer-does-not-save-my-settings-136701/ Old link mayb that works ? [00:59] PsPhaKeR_: try switching from alsa to OSS? [00:59] !oss [00:59] botcity, thanks [00:59] Sterist: look at this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8782925&postcount=2 it should help you [01:00] didnt work [01:00] KM0201: OSS?? [01:00] the OSS driver, i think thats still available. [01:00] need to add a line to the end of file which should fix my issue [01:00] i think it stands for open soruce sound... but consider that a last resort [01:00] so i have windows 7 shares on my home network. I have samba installed, opened up nautilus to connect and it asks for password, name, domain.......i have no idea what to put because when i share with other windows pcs it doesnt ask for this.....should be public shares [01:00] Sterist: well mount the disk sdbX x being the partition you have installed to, do a quick view to see the files you would expect, if ok then do a sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb [01:00] KM0201: why do you keep putting ! marks before you words?

[01:06] failing hard drive just bought a new one now how do I make that one the main hard drive and move all of my files over?? [01:06] marine1, download and burn clonezilla, hook both drives up, and use clonezilla to copy :) [01:07] How can I give write permissions again? [01:07] can anyone tell me google's ip [01:07] im having dns issues [01:07] SamuraiAlba: I wan tto make that also 10.10 [01:08] jink, I'm sorry Jink.. but I just had something confusing happen to me [01:08] then in a command terminal, marine1, sudo apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade... I think [01:08] 19:06 < PsPhaKeR_> How can I give write permissions again? [01:08] SonicComKid: Hmm? [01:08] SamuraiAlba: yes but before that I want tro make that my main operating system [01:08] SonicComKid: Btw, 02:09AM here, so don't expect me to stick around much longer. [01:09] jink, in my working directory I just created a file called restore.sh. The first line is #!/bin/bash but when I run it I get -bash: ./restore.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [01:09] !chmod [01:09] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:09] marine1, what are your other OSes? [01:09] SamuraiAlba: 9.10 [01:09] SonicComKid: So, what happens when you type: which bash [01:09] MrUnagi: yes you can execute a script from a script as long as the script is set to +x [01:09] in the 9.10 distro, do you want to upgrade that? [01:09] sacarlson: thank you [01:10] SonicComKid: What text editor are you using? [01:10] SamuraiAlba: just bought a brand new hard drive [01:10] SonicComKid, you have to make it executable [01:10] Can anyone explain why when i create a chroot environment using this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot (with the lucid modifications), I get this error: http://pastebin.com/FCTAZ029 ? Thanks [01:10] jink, I get /bin/bash what's more confusing is my backup.sh with the exact same line works. [01:10] first use clonezilla to copy the existing to the new, then run the upgrade commands when you reboot on the new drive :) [01:10] from what SonicComKid typed i think his problem is a carriage return after the word bash [01:10] 51 [01:10] SonicComKid: Looks like you're using Windows style line breaks instead of Unix ones. [01:10] bucky, I already have the restore.sh set as +x by chmod [01:11] SonicComKid: Oh, I get it. The file's a dos file. Get rid of the dos newline. :) [01:11] Jordan_U, doesn't unix phrase windows, but windows can't do vice verca? [01:11] Jordan_U: Right, you said that. -__- [01:11] SamuraiAlba: and I want to make that my main drive. How I install 10.10 the copy off all my data over before using clonezilla or disk utlilty [01:11] * jink running around between channels and windows and work and such. :P [01:11] its best to get rid of dos carriage returns in unix, and get rid of unix line endings in windows/dos [01:12] jink, seriously?.. werid.. I used notepad++ to edit it, and I thought blash/linux could read dos format. How can I fix this? go into nano and delete the returns and remake them? [01:12] Not sure, marine1. I always clonezilla first, then run "sudo apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade" after I reboot on the new drive, to make sure I have no issues. [01:12] SonicComKid: First configure notepad++ to use unix style line breaks. [01:13] hi im new in using ubuntu and i need someone to tell me how to make them look cool :P === freezway is now known as ____first [01:13] SonicComKid: Use a unix editor, or dos2unix [01:13] SamuraiAlba: yeah but i have to format my new hd first right? [01:13] iNicolas use Compiz :P [01:13] (Or set notepad++ to use unix lineends..?) [01:13] jink, oddly, in nano I can see the line breaks properly, I guess nano can understand dos line breaks? If so if I remake them in nano, will nano use unix breaks? [01:13] especially seeing as /srv/chroot/hardy-i386 most certainly does exist. [01:13] Ubuntu Server 10.10 adm64 - trying to perform a netboot installation from a locally hosted http repository. Systems are correctly pxe booting into the installer. The installers does retrieve my ks.cfg file and does apply some of its settings. Only problem is that it does not apply the url --url setting to retrieve from the local network installation server. Anyway to figure out why it's ignoring the url directive? [01:13] iNicolas - wear sunglasses while typing lol [01:13] lol [01:13] marine1, no. Clonezilla does that :) [01:13] SonicComKid: Not sure, I don't use nano. [01:13] iNicolas what cool stuff what do you think is cool then ? [01:13] thnx for the advices :P [01:14] iNicolas * what do you think is cool [01:14] <_TexNick_> DRCoB0L ... roflmao ... jeeze [01:14] SamuraiAlba: But like I said previously I want to go from 9.10 on my old hd to 10.10 on the new harddrive [01:14] jink, okay then. I'll make notepad++ use unix format. This is a first, I must have wrote 20 scripts by now using vinalla windows notepad before O.o [01:14] iNicolas get Compiz and Compiz Fusion and get something cool so you get animated background etc :P [01:14] iNicholas - http://www.ubuntuthemes.org/ [01:14] SonicComKid: ^__^ [01:15] i am allready using compiz+ but my taskbar looks the same and ive seen some people on youtube that has more docks on the side and no taskbar.. [01:15] sonic, you could fix it like this - if you have every thing [01:15] Marine1, the safest way to do that, is to use clonezilla to make a clone of the drive first, then run the commands I posted once you boot from the new HD :) [01:15] How can I give write permissions again? === ____first is now known as freezway [01:15] for f in $(ls -1 files) [01:15] do [01:15] <^Phantom^> Oh, how interesting [01:15] iNicolas download Cairo-dock [01:15] has anyone successfully mounted /tmp in RAM? [01:15] cat $f | dos2unix > .x [01:15] <^Phantom^> It already binded to the IP [01:15] mv .x $f [01:15] done [01:15] I'm using 9.10 [01:15] wondering if "tmpfs   /tmp  tmpfs  nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777  0 0" actually works [01:15] How To Give Write permissions!? [01:15] <_TexNick_> iNicolas ... google for ubuntu themes ... you can change the way the windows/icons/controls look [01:16] jink, Jordan_U, bingo, needed to be unix format.. gee people like me must make you guys cry with we give you weird questions like that. At least I'm learning. Darn do I have to go back and rewrite my scripts with what I learned today [01:16] what is the root command?? [01:16] i do have cairo dock and i also have docky .. i still cant make it look as cool as the dudes on the youtube... im desperate :( :P [01:16] sudo su [01:16] iNicolas www.gnome-look.org is also good [01:16] DRCoB0L: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#for_i_in_.24.28ls_.2A.mp3.29 [01:16] PsPhaKeR_, [01:16] sonic this might work - just run your script as an argument to bash [01:16] SamuraiAlba: Yes? [01:16] fixed driver problem but now have another problem [01:17] like /bin/bash myscript.sh [01:17] SamuraiAlba: OK but How am I going to boot from the new hd?? [01:17] SamuraiAlba: Yes?? [01:17] once clonezilla is done copying the HD over, power down, disconnect the old HD, and put the new HD in its slot. :) [01:17] lantchips that might help... thnx man ;) [01:17] when i load netbook remix it just shows a purple screen [01:17] PsPhaKeR_, the root command is "Sudo su" [01:17] iNicolas I can tell you how to get animated backgrounds to if u want :P [01:18] root command for giving write permissions... [01:18] is there a private chat on here?? [01:18] once you sudo su, use chmod :) [01:18] chmod 755? [01:18] iNicolas - you can probably create your own channel [01:18] iNicolas: /query nickofpersonyouwanttotalkto [01:19] iNicolas: right click on person and select im [01:19] PsPhaKeR_, I blelieve so [01:19] Unknown id: chmod === A|3x is now known as yomero [01:19] you can also do a /msg nickname [01:19] thnx people === yomero is now known as A|3xItO [01:19] thats too old school though - forget that [01:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:20] SamuraiAlba: so just move the sata connect over to where the other one was and move the old one to another slot [01:21] SamuraiAlba: PsPhaKeR_, I blelieve so [01:21] oops [01:21] haha [01:21] SamuraiAlba: Unknown id: chmod [01:21] Marine1, aye [01:21] PsPhaKeR_, I am a bit newbish. I am not sure how to proceed, now [01:22] SamuraiAlba: the only thing left is making that into 10.10 [01:22] to make it into 10.10, run the terminal and type [01:23] "sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [01:24] SamuraiAlba: first up is clonezilla where is it going to saved the clone data [01:24] Question: How can i get back the audio volumue control into the pannel? I looked everywhere but couldn't find it :=( [01:24] Can anyone tell me why, when sitting on Ubuntu 10.10 I'm jus doin my stuff & the thing gives me a black screen then reboots and gives me choice of running Ubuntu normally or running a recovery ? - Sorry I a newb so don't know the terminology [01:25] marine1, clonezilla will make a dead on copy of one drive to another :) [01:25] Just select the source and destination in the menus :) [01:25] Easy peasy [01:25] Tink__89, not sure...what were you doing when this occurred? [01:25] coz_ browsing the web. Now the whole interface has changed too =S [01:25] SamuraiAlba: can not find it! [01:26] Tink__89, the theme has gone back to some drab sqaureish look?

Then soemhow mount the old one and then transfer data from that one over?? [01:38] with vlc it is ok [01:38] it runs [01:38] KM0201: Help with my audio problems please? [01:38] omg guys [01:38] omg what [01:38] rami1983, mm I use vlc more than anything... movie player I dont use [01:38] marine1, I think you could do that :) [01:38] PsPhaKeR1: i don't really have an answer, i told you what i would do(under sound preferences) [01:39] SamuraiAlba: i'm not sure about mounting but that hd is already formatted I jjust want to transfer all of my old files over [01:39] coz_ is the a plug in in vlc that downloads subs auto.? [01:39] there [01:40] SamuraiAlba: so just switch the sata connections over and that one will boot up?? [01:40] So I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation [01:40] It says "If you previously created an “msdos” style partition used Boot Camp, you should use gparted to delete this partition. It will be located after an EFI partition (hidden in OSX) and an HFS+ partition (HFS+ is OS X's filesystem). Deleting the new partition leaves “free space” on the disk for the Ubuntu install. Click “Apply” before exiting! " [01:40] rami1983, ah mmm... I dont think I am as good with these issues as many are here so I am going to let them help with this one [01:41] In GParted, I see an EFI fat32 drive, a hfs+ drive (my mac partition), and a fat32 drive (my ubuntu partition) [01:41] Do I want to delete the last one? [01:41] i cannot figure out why my cronjob wont run [01:41] I'm a little concerned it will delete the partition and leave it unable to be used for anything again [01:41] MrUnagi, check /var/log/messages [01:42] how can i check if i have the latest audio and video codecs?? [01:42] MrUnagi, if you have cron setup and running it usually emails you with errors too [01:43] hurr durr [01:44] SamuraiAlba: so just switch the sata connections over and that one will boot up?? [01:45] I've got an old (used to be) bootable flash drive that nautilus sees as two, "ubuntu" and "casper-rw" but gparted doesn't recognize it, is there any way for me to reformat it for other uses? [01:45] SamuraiAlba: i just wannt to get this right the 1st time [01:45] Anyone? [01:45] DRCoB0L: theres nothing in the /var/log/messages for it [01:45] i am baffled because if i paste the command in the cli, it runs correctly.... [01:46] ah - that usually signals a path problem [01:46] how so? [01:46] your path in cron is probably different than your login path [01:46] i did sudo crontab -e [01:46] is that an issue? [01:46] if goblins appear it is [01:47] um? [01:47] well to be honest i am a solaris guy and am learing linux so i would do it different myself [01:47] for example i would just crontab as me, drcobol [01:47] it looks like you are trying to do a root crontab [01:47] right but how do you crontab if your command needs sudo [01:47] such as sudo mv [01:47] MrUnagi, if u didnt write to it yer fine [01:48] wait.....i should do it as him [01:48] what does crontab -l say ? [01:48] aaaah lemme try something [01:48] MrUnagi: you need to run your cron as root sudo crontab -e [01:48] if you want root to run something, i would su to root and do a crontab -e [01:48] sacarlson: i was [01:48] Is there any way to find (and partition) a storage device that gparted doesn't know about [01:48] ? [01:48] oh - what sacarlson said is right and probably better === 13WAAZIX9 is now known as BajK_ [01:49] wait if a user doesnt have shell access will cron still work [01:49] MrUnagi: I saw sudo in your script it's not needed as root [01:49] no mrunagi [01:52] then i would need it ran as root [01:52] MrUnagi: I guess there is another solution if you setup sudo with no password in sudoer [01:52] sacarlson: that is a good point lol [01:52] 有人吗？ [01:52] how do i stop pulseaudio in m,y current session? === bustedup277 is now known as shower277 [01:54] so what happens when root sudos [01:55] Is there a tool to see if a binary file contains the stuff from another binary file? [01:55] sigh.....it STILL didnt execute [01:55] SamuraiAlba: do i have to boot up in cdrom first or run it on the desktop [01:55] Hi I am hoping someone can guide me to a tutorial (not the manual reference) so I can understand tolua++ [01:55] MrUnagi: I don't know since I have no working shell in root [01:56] sacarlson: what do yo umean [01:56] MrUnagi: I just used that to know that you tried to run sudo in an acount other than root [01:56] No xterm? [01:57] sacarlson: is there no way to crontab without password interaction? [01:57] MrUnagi: yes you can setup sudo with no password if that's your option [01:57] My microphone makes noise, ubuntu 10.10, driver: Realtek ALC272X plz help? [01:57] MrUnagi: eather way works [01:57] hey I want to start a daemon every time I log in (tpfand). Should I just stick "sudo tpfand" into /etc/rc.local? [01:57] sacarlson: or chmod so that the group can do anything [01:58] My microphone makes noise, ubuntu 10.10, driver: Realtek ALC272X plz help? [01:58] MrUnagi: make everyone root? I guess that would also work [01:58] sacarlson: no make the user part of the group named in chown [01:58] KM0201: I am sorry, had to give the computer up... what did you say? [01:59] hello everyone, need help, seems like i mess up something, when i click my folder, it'll open brasero instead of nautilus, what should i do? [01:59] MrUnagi: oh in your case you want to rename in someone elses account, so is that the only account? just run cron under that user [02:00] sacarlson: wont work if that user doesnt have shell access [02:00] moszer: open nautilus, right click on a folder, properties, open with, other, set nautilus to always open them [02:00] MrUnagi: I run cron under root and it works [02:00] i'm on it, brb [02:00] sacarlson: via sudo crontab -e? [02:00] MrUnagi: yes [02:00] KM0201: I am sorry, had to give the computer up... what did you say? [02:00] My microphone makes noise, ubuntu 10.10, driver: Realtek ALC272X plz help? [02:01] then that shatters my spirits because i put it in root and it wouldnt run [02:02] Gparted won't see my flash drive, but if i right click it on my desktop and format it, it starts to format it and them errors "Daemon is inhibited" How do i reformat this drive? [02:02] thanks jrib [02:02] MrUnagi: try sudo crontab -e with a script or just line touch /path/to/test.txt [02:02] Question: How can i get back the audio volumue control into the pannel? I looked everywhere but couldn't find it :=( [02:03] agnostic: would it be in gconf-editor? [02:03] sacarlson: i wish i could do this by the second lol [02:03] agnostic, Right-click on panel->Add to panel->Notification Applet [02:03] agnostic: right click, add to panel - it should be there [02:04] sacarlson: success... [02:04] KM0201: I am sorry, had to give the computer up... what did you say? [02:04] I am still having audio problems [02:04] MrUnagi: so I guess root can run a cron script [02:04] so what else can it be === shower277 is now known as bustedup277 [02:07] has anyone got experience installing VMWare in ubuntu?

At this point I can't click Ok or Cancel, I have to X to close the auth window, but the root permission seems to be granted anyway.... I just can't exit those dialog boxes without Xing them after making the text box element disappear with the correc [03:10] t password. Ideas? [03:11] NeedsNetworkHelp: does 'host' work?

[03:38] KM0201 look for chroot [03:38] i have that exact problem on a system I have at work, grub updates were always a pain... i haven't found a real solution other than letting grub autoconfigure then going in and changing the assignments around and re-updating [03:39] is there a command i can run in a script to check for a running process first before starting it again? [03:39] but typically any system update that updates grub without me noticing results in a broken boot [03:40] i keep a livecd around just so i can go in and manually re-grub... so I'd like a solution to that one too :/ [03:40] MrUnagi: maybe something like ps -A |grep filename [03:40] apt-get has been running for 83 minutes on my computer, and I don't know why.

[03:44] ner0x: https://one.ubuntu.com/plans/ [03:44] test [03:44] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Just right click and compress the directory as tar.

[03:45] Very Good !! [03:45] p_res, i just can't create the desired internal tree, then paste every files in there and then right click compress. because this internal tree i want to create involves a partition that hasnt got enough free space. [03:46] smw, anything [03:46] It is difficult for me to understand Englush [03:46] beluga: ;-) [03:46] whenever I update the kernal, nvidia driver fails. anyone know why? I uninstalled the open source nvidia driver supplied with ubuntu. [03:46] asdfasdfasdfasdf: So how do expect to do it then? [03:46] asdfasdfasdfasdf, one sec, quick research [03:47] p_res, thats why im here =) [03:47] apt-get has been running for 83 minutes on my computer, and I don't know why. Help? [03:47] asdfasdfasdfasdf: But how do you expect things to work if you have no free space? You see what I'm getting at. [03:47] asdfasdfasdfasdf; start "fileroller" [03:47] p_res, when i create a new tar file with my archiver application i dont see anything like add empty folder, to create a new folder. [03:48] smw, ok [03:48] asdfasdfasdfasdf, it is a program for making compressed files [03:48] hi how can i mount an nfs using GID, UID [03:48] smw, yes [03:48] I'm having problems connecting to my samba server from my windows machine. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? [03:48] asdfasdfasdfasdf, start up a new archive, put stuff in it, tell file roller you want a tar. I have never done it before, but I know it works [03:48] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Where do you plan on saving this .tar? If it's going to be uncompressed, and you don't have space on [03:48] your HDD... [03:48] Any ideas why my system may seem bogged down after upgrade to 10.4 lts [03:49] Dirjel: My point exactly! [03:49] Dirjel, i have free space in some other partition [03:49] smw, ok [03:50] smw, im on it [03:50] asdfasdfasdfasdf: You never said that before. [03:50] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... please explain :bogged down" [03:50] Everything just seems to move real choppy... [03:50] _ZroTo|ernZ_, like opening new windows, switching between windows, even receiving messages in IRC [03:50] hi there, [03:50] asdfasdfasdfasdf, my "research" was seeing what program opened when I double clicked a zip file ;-) [03:50] is there any nee reads on geting my usb cad to connect to my router, or see why only some services work and others don thanx [03:51] recently whenever i want to delete a file permanently in nautilus, my nautilus windows keep going into grey screen like they are hanged. why is that? [03:51] smw, p_res i believe you guys dont understand what i want to do due my bad english, ill try to explain again: [03:51] _ZroTo|ernZ_, my cpu and mem usage are low though... and I'm not swapping [03:51] Zeu5: Is it alot of files or a large file? Would the drive happen to be full? [03:52] _ZroTo|ernZ_, I turned off the visual effects and dropped to 2 virtual desktops [03:52] Diamondcite, i just want to delete 1 file. right now my drive is only 52% [03:52] Zeu5: Do you have any network shares attached in some way? [03:52] normal delete works fine, but not permanent delete [03:52] asdfasdfasdfasdf, I did not even realize english was not your first language. You seem to be speaking it perfectly [03:52] network shares? no i dont [03:52] Zeu5, how big is that file, though? and "normal delete" you mean trashing it? [03:52] Im looking for some updated FAQ geting my Wirles usb card to connect [03:52] Zeu5: ( Doesn't normal deletes just move to trash? ) [03:53] _ZroTo|ernZ_, switching between tabs on google chrome does it also [03:53] i would like to create a .tar file (uncompressed) but then re-arrange its internal folders, this is put files inside sub-folders, but creating this set of subfolders in my hdd and then copying files on them to finally right click it and pres compress is not an option because i dont have free space in the partition that involces those folders. [03:53] Diamondcite, yes normal delete move to trash. the grey screen hanging occurs when i do a SHIFT+DEL [03:53] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... you upgraded ... and this just happened after the upgrade ? [03:53] smw, =) [03:53] aka permanent delete [03:53] involves* [03:53] _ZroTo|ernZ_, yea, I upgraded, did the reboot, it was slow, rebooted again, and turned down the visuals... that helped a little but it still unusually slow [03:53] Zeu5: is this a large file by chance? Does your computer have an indicator to show hard drive activity? [03:53] Zeu5, when you move something to trash, then empty trash, your computer hangs? [03:54] hiya, I need some help with bash scripting [03:54] yes i turn on my applet to monitor system. it looks fine. its not a large file. [03:54] Okay, apt-get is still running on my computer. 96 minutes and counting. Help? [03:54] so... when I turn on my ubuntu box with mongodb and ruby on rails does it scale right now? [03:54] right up? [03:54] asdfasdfasdfasdf, why do you want to lay out the files differently in the archive than the original files? [03:54] like how many connections can I handle? [03:55] You need to create the directory tree first. That's what I keep telling you. [03:55] asdfasdfasdfasdf: above [03:55] Dirjel: So what is your apt-get doing? Updating a system? [03:55] Dirjel, when i move to trash and empty trash, NO my cmputer does NOT hang [03:55] Diamondcite, I have no idea. I'm thinking it's the auto-update thing running. [03:55] I definitely didn't start it up. [03:55] p_res, so there is no way to manipulate a directory tree with a app like file-roller, or console app? [03:55] Diamondcite, is the system monitor able to view the harddisk activity? [03:55] psusi, thats not really important =) [03:56] Dirjel: So it's one of those automatic ones which show up in 'top' to use 100% cpu? [03:56] Zeu5: Yes it should be able to... if your monitor supports one that check for disk I/O [03:56] asdfasdfasdfasdf: It should work just fine if you use File Roller. Just make sure you set the save location where you have [03:56] lots of free space [03:56] asdfasdfasdfasdf, can you move around the original files instead, then tar them up, then move them back to the original locations? what you are asking to do is really strange.. [03:56] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Not with creating the tree first, no. [03:56] Zeu5: I was hoping you computer had a little light indicating drive activity. [03:56] Diamondcite, well so far it has never hit 100% when i permanently delete something. [03:56] oh [03:56] asdfasdfasdfasdf, I could probably hack together a way to do it on the command line, but no, I don't think you can do that through the gui [03:56] Diamondcite, yes i think i have that [03:57] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... what stats do the "system monitor" show ? [03:57] Diamondcite: I guess so. User is root, command is apt-get. CPU usage is 80~90% [03:57] Diamondcite, so what should i do? should i try again? [03:57] Zeu5: Honestly speaking.. I have no idea why shift+del would cause it to hang... [03:57] Diamondcite, i see. [03:57] Diamondcite, thanks anyway [03:57] Zeu5: Can't you move that file alone to trash and empty to get rid of it? [03:57] psusi, you mean creating a folder like "test" where i have free space and inside this test folder create the directory tree i want and then compress it? [03:57] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Yes. [03:58] asdfasdfasdfasdf, bingo [03:58] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Did you not understand what I was saying all along? [03:58] _ZroTo|ernZ_, cpu around 50 -70 % and memory at 33.8% [03:58] Dirjel: I don't know of an update check taking that long... maybe you can try to start up Update Manager and hit check to see if it does something? [03:58] psusi, i could do that but itd take a long time to do so since they are so many files, i thought it'd be easier if say there was a "add new folder" in the gui of the tar creating programs :( [03:58] p_res, sorry now i see it hehe [03:59] asdfasdfasdfasdf: It's alright. [03:59] asdfasdfasdfasdf, won't take any longer than it would to move them around inside the tar, if you could do that [03:59] _ZroTo|ernZ_, according to top, Xorg is using about 25% cpu constantly and gnome is using about 20% constantly [03:59] psusi: That's what I was thinking. [04:00] installing ubuntu on i7... i want 64amd version anyone? [04:00] i am looking for the location that "IceTea" is installed... please help me find it. [04:00] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... brb ...

[04:01] jake_: That was an obvious guess... [04:01] roblee: What are you asking? [04:02] psusi, yeah kind of [04:02] roblee: If you should install AMD64? [04:02] Diamondcite: It DOES show that there are 32 updates, but it's only 31 MB total. There isn't any reason for it to take this long. [04:02] do i want the 32 bit or amd 64 bit version of buntu? [04:02] psusi, but i'd be cool :D [04:02] roblee: 64bit. [04:02] im trying 32... but its only detecting 4gb of ram [04:02] apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [04:02] how do i access the a "~/.directory" [04:02] roblee: That's why you need 64bit! [04:03] jake_: ~/ means /home/username/ [04:03] okay thanks for the help guys see you around =) [04:03] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Bye. ;-) === KM0201_ is now known as KM0201 [04:04] wisevoyager: Dunno' if you were talking to me, but it did let me run apt-get upgrade.

[04:05] wisevoyager: Don't worry about it, it helped me out anyway :D [04:06] Hi, does anyone know what "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg" means in GRUB (the old version)? I just downgraded to it because GRUB 2 was giving me problems, and I've already tried running fsck on the boot partition and the filesystem. [04:06] any girls from india :D [04:06] "{ [04:06] :P [04:07] potiphera, that's the kernel, not grub... most likely you forgot to load the initrd [04:08] Thanks, psusi, how do I fix that? [04:08] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... sorry for the delay [04:09] _ZroTo|ernZ_, no worries, now backend is using most of my cpu... strange [04:09] _ZroTo|ernZ_, and I don't even know what it is [04:09] potiphera, load the initrd [04:09] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... scrolling up you say a backend process is eating the cpu ... try killing that process [04:10] _ZroTo|ernZ_, Is it purposeful? [04:11] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> it won't hurt to kill it ... most could happe would be a reboot ??? [04:11] potiphera, in addition to the linux /boot/vmlinuz-1.2.3 there should be an initrd /boot/initrd.img-1.2.3 grub line... of course, that file has to exist... it not being there would explain why grub did not add that line to the config [04:12] !backend [04:12] killed it [04:12] gnome system monitor is using about 20% and xorg is using about 20% [04:13] Yeah, OK, I see the lines in menu.lst, so I'll check if the files exist. [04:13] jon_athon: What might the cpu be? [04:13] Diamondcite, I forget... I think 1.8 [04:13] jon_athon, gnome-system-monitor is a horribly inefficient pig.. shut it down [04:13] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... has that inproved your performance ? [04:13] jon_athon: I was thinking something a bit more details.. like Intel Aton 450 or AMD Sempron 4000+ etc... [04:14] Diamondcite, Ah, AMD Athlon XP... I forget which model [04:14] Diamondcite, xp-m that is [04:14] _ZroTo|ernZ_, yea, I think it's just the diplay being kinda funny... laggy [04:15] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> psusi ... lol ... yeah but it works for gui ;) [04:16] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon try a cold boot ... see if that backend process starts up as soon as you reboot [04:17] psusis, yeah, the files exist on the boot partition, and the only thing I can think of is that they are listed with paths like /initrd.img-2.6.32-27-generic. Does GRUB read that as being on the boot partition, or on the root of the main filesystem? Because I have an encrypted filesystem. [04:17] could somebody suggest a simple app to turn create .wav files using my microphone? [04:17] arkanabar: Sounds recorder which comes with Ubuntu? [04:18] i'm using lubuntu, and don't think it's included. what's it called? [04:18] v0lksman: you around [04:18] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon what kind of video hardware are you using ? [04:18] nvidia driver fails after each kernel update, help? [04:18] KM0201: Are you back yet? [04:19] arkanabar: "gnome-sound-recorder" [04:19] potiphera, what do you mean? it goes in /boot... so unless you somehow have mounted /boot as /, they won't be in / [04:19] _ZroTo|ernZ_, ATI Radeon Mobile [04:19] arkanabar: You can also try the command line utility 'arecord' which is ALSA's recording utility. [04:20] yudi1: Seems kinda normal.. they are supposed to be upgraded together usually. [04:21] Diamondcite: yep figured, seems to be a fairly common issue, I am after a permanent solution. [04:21] yudi1: Don't use the proprietary driver, the nv driver doesn't have such issues ^_^ [04:22] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... i'm looking for compatibility on that driver [04:22] Diamondcite, tyvm. I'll look into both of those. either of them have push-to-talk? [04:22] yudi1: Unless you have the knowledge to write a script which checks for changes in the kernel version on boot and make it auto recompile the nvidia driver interface automatically and restart X as needed. [04:22] Diamondcite: i know, but I run compiz, Nouveau is the last resort, I might go back if I cannot fix it [04:22] Can anyone else help me? [04:23] arkanabar: arecord starts recording as soon as the app runs, gnome-sound-recorder has a record button. [04:23] !ask | PsPhaKeR1 [04:23] I need to give write permissions to a certin folder in /usr/local/file_name/ How can I do this? [04:23] PsPhaKeR1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:23] _ZroTo|ernZ_, overall it's working and the system test cycled the modes which worked fine. It's not crippling, it's just not what it was before... [04:23] psusi, thanks, I think it's usually in /boot, but I have a separate boot partition. [04:23] I already asked :P [04:23] Diamondcite: one thing I have noticed is that the kernel header files do not get updated with the kernel?? I suspect this is the issue. [04:24] 22:23 < PsPhaKeR1> I need to give write permissions to a certin folder in /usr/local/file_name/ How can I do this? [04:24] PsPhaKeR1, people come and go pretty often. You may need to repeat it for those who've entered since you last asked. [04:24] PsPhaKeR1 ahh sorry I just tabbed back :) [04:24] Can anyone see what is wrong with my routing table? jackson@OLYMPIA:/var/log/samba$ netstat -nr [04:24] Kernel IP routing table [04:24] Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface [04:24] 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 [04:24] 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 [04:24] 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 [04:24] NeedsNetworkHelp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:24] PsPhaKeR1, man chmod [04:24] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon what type of pc is this ? [04:25] I have tried and it did not work! [04:25] _ZroTo|ernZ_, hp pavilion ze4560us [04:25] diamon [04:25] _ZroTo|ernZ_, don't waste much time on it, it's still usable I was just curious if this was common [04:25] Diamondcite: I want it to be automatic as well [04:25] arkanabar: I already tired that, what exact statement would I use for this?? [04:26] PsPhaKeR1, did you have privileges needed to change permissions on that folder? for /usr you probably need to sudo the command. [04:26] PsPhaKeR1: Which user needs write permisson? Someone other than root? If so try this: sudo chmod o+w /usr/local/filename [04:26] usr/local/pspdev/ [04:26] hi [04:26] potiphera, oh, ok... then yes, the grub line should just be linux /vmlinuz-1.2.3 and initrd /initrd.img-1.2.3 [04:26] Diamondcite: What do you mean by "root"? [04:26] why are the kernel header files not installed with the kernel update? can any one answer this [04:27] PsPhaKeR1: Err.. root should be the 'owner' of all files under /usr [04:27] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... you really shouldn,t see any noticable speed degradation after that upgrade [04:27] Can anyone see what is wrong with my routing table on my ubuntu server? http://paste.ubuntu.com/551700/ [04:27] yudi1, because the header files are separate and only installed if you go install them... they aren't needed by most people [04:27] _ZroTo|ernZ_, I'll toy with it, it might just be too much graphics still [04:27] NeedsNetworkHelp, what's it not doing? [04:27] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> It really looks like a video driver issue to me though [04:27] PsPhaKeR1, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_user [04:28] I can't seem to connect to my Ubuntu Server via it's static ip from my windows machine [04:28] I think I need root [04:28] because that did not work :\ [04:28] NeedsNetworkHelp: What is the IP of the windows machine? [04:28] 192.168.1.7 [04:28] NeedsNetworkHelp, what's your ip? [04:28] psusi: but if nvidia driver needs them, how come they do not get updated automatically? I am pretty sure for some it gets updated automatically [04:28] my server's ip is 192.168.1.77 [04:28] PsPhaKeR1, for root privileges, add "sudo" to the beginning of a terminal command. It will ask for your password. [04:28] NeedsNetworkHelp, does PING work? [04:29] psusi, and root should be root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/(a bunch of hexadecimal stuff), right? Because that seems to work (other paths gave me "ALERT!" errors). So I'm not sure what is giving me this error. [04:29] ping on the server doesn't work but it can traceroute [04:29] I tried that, arkanabar still did not work :( [04:29] NeedsNetworkHelp you can use 192.168.0.0 to include the whole subnet [04:29] so any word on Netflix & Ubuntu ? [04:29] lickalott: how do i do that? [04:29] looks like you need to add a default route as well [04:29] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> have you tried the "Additional drivers" menu item from the "System Administration" menu ? [04:30] potiphera, yep [04:30] anyone tried "lubuntu" ? [04:30] lickalott: Isn't 192.168.1.254 the default route? [04:30] lickalott: sorry i'm quite new at this, can you point me to a url for instructions? [04:30] 254 is my router [04:30] _ZroTo|ernZ_, no I haven't [04:30] is 254 the router? [04:30] potiphera, that is, the root= argument on the linux line... not the set root= line [04:30] Diamondcite, that's the gateway [04:30] route add default 192.168.1.1 if router = .1 [04:30] arkanabar: last time I did this succesfully was by using "chown" or something, but I can't figure out how to use it again [last time I found it on the internet randomly] [04:30] hey umm i tried installing Ubuntu 10.10 on my gf's laptop and i need some help u.u [04:30] lickalott, his routing tables are correct [04:30] my router is 254 [04:31] ok then [04:31] george__: What's the problem? [04:31] NeedsNetworkHelp, your router is your gateway [04:31] PsPhaKeR1, the creepy crappy way to do it is open a file manager window as root, right-click the suitable directory's icon, and select "Properties" [04:31] psusi, yeah. [04:31] it's not *elegant* but it works. [04:31] the problem is that it boots to the terminal screen [04:31] PsPhaKeR1: sudo chown -R yourusername:yourgroup /usr/local/pspdev [04:31] NeedsNetworkHelp, I'm curious, try arp -a [04:31] but no GUI [04:31] jon_athon: okay thanks. so if my routing table is correct, is there anything else I can do fix this? [04:31] potiphera, well, if grub has the initrd line, and the file actually exists, then it is corrupt and needs rebuilt [04:31] its a Dell Inspiron 14R [04:32] NeedsNetworkHelp: Which services are you trying to access? Is there a firewall in place? [04:32] psusi, what needs to be rebuilt, the initrd files? [04:32] potiphera, yea [04:32] NeedsNetworkHelp, yup, just gotta figure out what [04:32] Diamondcite: Thanks, worked! [04:32] NeedsNetworkHelp, are both machines connecting to the internet ok? [04:32] george__: What video chipset does it use? [04:32] no firewall. yes both machines are connecting to the internet ok [04:32] hold on [04:33] Umino, I use lubuntu. [04:33] arp -a results are here http://paste.ubuntu.com/551701/ [04:33] ill search it [04:33] what is the difference between the non generic and generic header kernel files [04:33] why would one ICMP work and not the other...... [04:33] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> jon_athon ... see if you can find a specific video driver for your machine from the "System/Admistration/Additional Drivers" menu [04:33] i'm trying to use my windows machine to get to the samba server on my ubuntu server. I had it working yesterday but I'm not sure why it stopped working. [04:33] you then.. ubunta it... [04:34] have you checked to see if your samba service is running NeedsNetworkHelp [04:34] yudi1: Supposedly they are for different kernel versions, it's best to stick with a headers file identical to your kernel to make compiling nicer. === someone is now known as Guest3586 [04:34] NeedsNetworkHelp: is samba RUNNING on ubuntu server? [04:34] NeedsNetworkHelp, Hmmm, strange, all of the ARP information came through alright [04:34] you know.. [04:34] the graphics card is [04:34] Intel® HD Graphics [04:34] I have more problems, although I will come back some other time and ask them :D [04:35] NeedsNetworkHelp do you know how to check for the service? [04:35] Diamondcite: I seems to be unwittingly installing generic kernel and non-generic header files!!, I will correct this and see if it fixes the nvidia issue [04:35] and im kinda new here on IRC n_n"" [04:35] I'm not sure how to check now I checked it earlier, can u paste me the command? or i have to search for it again now... [04:35] Ummm a good place to get servos? anyone :D [04:35] george__: What version of Ubuntu did you install? From what source iso? [04:36] i installed Ubuntu 10.10 i386 [04:36] try ps -ef | grep samba and see what shoes up [04:36] *shows [04:36] from the Ubuntu site [04:36] NeedsNetworkHelp: For now try this and see if you get anything: ps auxw | grep smb [04:36] my god god that xandros running eee pc, cant update it eather... This Ubuntu real works! [04:36] woops! wrong channel! [04:37] brb [04:37] george__: Not too sure mate. I use Intel video and never had that problem. Perhaps someone else can help you with it. [04:37] the lot.. [04:37] for j in $(find . -name '*.jpg' -type f);do sudo rename 's/\.JPG/\.jpg/' *.JPG; done<--------any idea why this isnt working for subdirectories? [04:37] Ok here are the results diamond: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551702/ [04:37] psusi, do I just run update-initramfs to rebuild it? (after chroot because I'm on a live CD) [04:37] sacarlson: ^^? [04:37] NeedsNetworkHelp: So samba is running.. and you seem to be tinker with it's inerds (smb.conf) [04:37] hmm [04:37] better and better.. [04:38] when it boots to the terminal screen, i type startx and the screen goes black [04:38] potiphera, yep [04:38] NeedsNetworkHelp; (piggy backin on Diamondcite's comment) have to made any changes/edits to the .conf file since yesterday? [04:38] maybe if i install it via CD? [04:38] MrUnagi: have you tried pyrenamer? It's very easy and will do what you're trying to do (unless you're just trying to learn the CLI way ;-) ) [04:39] that was it basacly.. the dial up program it had.. for some countryes.. if you needed it.. [04:39] I edited it to add the 3 external hdd's i have on it. last night and it was working till this morning. [04:39] yeats: kinda trying to learn the cli way, also making this a cron job, through ssh, on a server that is 600 miles away [04:39] here is samba status output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551703/ [04:39] MrUnagi: gotcha [04:39] :D [04:39] george__: I always use CD and have no problems. Try that and see how you go. [04:39] hmm [04:39] ok [04:39] george__: Use the Alternate Install CD too. [04:39] ill try it out tomorrow [04:40] oooh [04:40] what kernel ver are most users on, I am on 2.6.32, are there any advantages in moving to say 2.6.35 or 2.6.36? just curious [04:40] i got nothing man. have you already rebooted the box? [04:40] NeedsNetworkHelp ^^ [04:40] thanks p_res n_n [04:40] well im leaving n.n [04:40] everything will work with it.. and no virus or spy can harm it eather.. god.. [04:40] Hello, i need help changing my username. When I installed Ubuntu my login was user. I went to User and Groups under administration and changed it to DeezeNuts. After this was done, at the top right screen where you log on aim and such it still says User. How can i change this? [04:41] yudi1: I'm just going with whatever happens to be current since it is USUALLY reliable. [04:41] 2.6.36 is supposed to have better intel video driver support [04:41] lickalott yes I tried rebooting it. this morning i coudln't even ping the server IP address [04:41] excelent [04:41] psusi, yeah, I tried that with GRUB 2 and got some errors, but I'll try it again now and report back if I get errors again. [04:41] NeedsNetworkHelp, do netstat -nl [04:41] NeedsNetworkHelp you're on the windows box now? [04:42] this now is LostIrc.. just black and white one chat box.. [04:42] I'm on my mac because my mac can vnc into the ubuntu server but my windows machine can't. I've turned off the firewall settings on the windows machine and I'm able to ping the server's static ip. [04:43] NeedsNetworkHelp, I take that back, do netstat -nlp [04:43] NeedsNetworkHelp, go ahead and pastebin it but your also going to look for a listening socket with a PID that matches your smbd process [04:44] jon_athon: here are the results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551707/ [04:44] it didint plug and play my usb dvd row.. after the first big update download.. thats why [04:45] i think.. [04:45] I have ubuntu 10.10 installed with encrypted home dir. I disabled the password in GDM so when you click my account name it just logs in. it seems like this broke mounting my encrypted home partition. How can I re-enable requiring a password from the command line? [04:46] jon_athon: on line 97 and line 132 it seems to be listening for samba connections [04:46] NeedsNetworkHelp, I don't see your SMB daemon listening, so let's check if it's got a socket at all in any state... one sec for the command [04:46] jon_athon: ok thank you [04:46] How do i change my username on Empathy? It still says user even after i changed my username in User and Groups [04:46] great, thanks.. bye for now! [04:47] DeezeNuts: for yahoo? [04:47] NeedsNetworkHelp, Hmm I didn't see 97 and 132, but I'm curious because it doesn't match the PID [04:47] No for empathy [04:47] at the top right of my screen it still says user [04:47] next to the power button [04:47] NeedsNetworkHelp, but try netstat -npav [04:47] DeezeNuts: Don't you have to change it through whatever site protocol you're accessing? [04:48] DeezeNuts: thats your username i believe? [04:48] Yes [04:48] i changed my username from User and Groups though [04:48] why does it still say user [04:48] Can linux play flash games? [04:48] I can't seem to get them to work... [04:48] PsPhaKeR_: yes as long as you have the browser plugin [04:48] DeezeNuts: I see. That's wierd. It should display whatever name you're currently logged in as. [04:49] I added those already I think [04:49] jon_athon: the output seems to be a larger than what is displayed, should i output to a file first before copying and pasting? [04:49] PsPhaKeR_: If you install Flash, then yes. [04:49] I need Java, don't I? [04:49] PsPhaKeR_: what browser are you using? === plustax is now known as wat [04:49] Firefox [04:49] PsPhaKeR_: Is Flash working correctly? [04:49] PsPhaKeR_: Linux does have Flash Player, what it doesn't have is Shockwave. === wat is now known as plustax [04:49] PsPhaKeR_: Google "flash player test". [04:49] Hi everyone [04:49] ok [04:49] NeedsNetworkHelp, or you can stretch your terminal window [04:49] Dangr_: Hi. [04:50] PsPhaKeR_: install the flashplugin-installer package [04:50] I need some help with a geom error if anyone is familiar with it :-/ [04:50] It says installed correctly [04:50] jon_athon: i meant, i can scroll up to the max but i can't get to the line where i inputted the command... [04:50] p_res, when i go to User and Grousps it say [04:50] DeezeNuts and under it, it says user [04:50] PsPhaKeR_: can you watch youtube? [04:50] But, still flash games don't word [04:50] yes [04:51] Do I need Java? [04:51] PsPhaKeR_: can you give me a link to the game you're having trouble with? [04:51] NeedsNetworkHelp, Oh.. yea [04:51] ok, one sec [04:51] NeedsNetworkHelp, netstat -npav > file [04:51] hello [04:51] PsPhaKeR_: You might need to change your global settings. I had to do this a few days ago - http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [04:52] jon_athon: i'm geting a bash: ./netstat_npav_out.log: Permission Denied [04:52] PsPhaKeR_: Its the 2nd tab by the way [04:52] I have a custom PC, installed Ubuntu 10.10 64bit on it and I am receiving a Geom Error. I have an Nvidia card as well. [04:52] DeezeNuts: Then according to that your username is now user. [04:52] Any ideas why this is happening? [04:52] hi, I have a new laptop I'd like to dual-boot with Ubuntu, but the automatic installer doesn't offer to resize any of the drives. any ideas what I should do instead? is there a good partition manager for windows? [04:52] http://www.silvergames.com/game/data-worm/ [04:52] NeedsNetworkHelp, cd ~ [04:52] NeedsNetworkHelp, then try again [04:52] hey, just installed 10.10 and ran apt-get upgrade. Am I really running 11.04 just like that? [04:53] So how can i change my REAL username? [04:53] PsPhaKeR_: do you have adblock installed? [04:53] idk [04:53] the firefox plugin? [04:53] q_a_z_steve, Ithink you have to apt-get dist-upgrade but I recommend using the update manager [04:53] yes maybe, I think so [04:53] DeezeNuts: Don't you have to create another account with the new name. [04:53] ? [04:53] PsPhaKeR_: works perfectly here..on 64bit flash [04:54] It won't even load a screen [04:54] hi there ! [04:54] SeaPhor: Diamondcite: sorry lost my internet connection [04:54] for me [04:54] Anyone familiar with the Geom Error? [04:54] sigh [04:54] Am I missing a package? [04:54] bonjoyee: PsPhaKeR_ doesn't work for me either, 64bit flash on chrome unstable [04:54] jon_athon: thanks for that here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551708/ [04:54] PsPhaKeR_: There is no native version of "Shockwave Flash Player for Linux" please try 'wine' 'firefox' 'shockwave player for windows' [04:54] I was hoping I didn't have to do that [04:54] jon_athon: what should I be looking for in the output? [04:54] NeedsNetworkHelp, No problem, I noticed from your other pastebins that you were ina directory that probably wouldn't let you write to it [04:55] I have Wine, what do I do with it? [04:55] yudi1: I haven't said anything other than stick with what is current since it's usually reliable [04:55] DeezeNuts: I think. You can't just change usernames in GNU/Unix as easy as you'd think so. [04:55] jon_athon: yeah, i realised it once u said to cd back to home [04:55] NeedsNetworkHelp, same thing, from the earlier pastebin you can see the PID of smbd [04:55] PsPhaKeR_: Please download and install the windows version of firefox into wine [04:55] PsPhaKeR what is the page you have problems with I got most of my flash stuff to work when I downloaded flash from the ubuntu software center [04:55] NeedsNetworkHelp, you want to match that with a connection [04:55] jon_athon: that's what I thought, but then the About Ubuntu said natty. Anyway, I installed on a MacBookPro, and I have no sound :( I thought when I booted into the liveCD I heard the original stuff, but I went to Rhythmbox and NOTHING :( [04:55] Lantchips: http://www.silvergames.com/game/data-worm/ [04:55] Lantchips: It's not using flash player. but shockwave flash instead. [04:56] d``: i use 64bit flash on firefox 4 beta8 [04:56] q_a_x_steve: Check your output settings to ensure they are set to your MacBook Pro's speakers. It's common for it to choose a different output.\ [04:56] Diamondcite: i am not moving from 2.6.32, I was just curious if the newer kernels were better at handling HD content rather than making my CPU sweat [04:56] I use 10.2 flash on my firefox 4 beta 8 :P and most of the pages work [04:56] Avoid Shockwave like cancer. [04:56] p_res: +1 [04:57] p_res 10.2 is really good with hardware acceleration [04:57] bonjoyee: chrome has it's own google built flash, that's probably the issue [04:57] NeedsNetworkHelp, now it's showing up... strange [04:57] NeedsNetworkHelp, try conneting [04:57] jon_athon: there is a PID of 1875/samba [04:57] yudi1: Well supposedly 2.6.36 has a new scheduler routine which improves overall system performance. [04:57] PsPhaKeR_: try following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [04:57] ok i'll try hang on brb [04:57] Lantchips: You can have it... [04:58] that'll install shockwave under wine [04:58] d``: PsPhaKeR_: using 64bit ubuntu? [04:58] d``: Personally, I avoid using Flash under Wine due to the fact that it uses more system resources than is required. Flash works fine on Firefox and/or Chromium. [04:59] :\ [04:59] if i make a new user [04:59] Diamondcite: it's always tempting to move to a newer version? it would be interesting to know from someone actually using it. [04:59] Sc00t3r: it's shockwave under wine, not flash [04:59] will my xchat settings stay? [04:59] jon_athon: both my windows machine and my mac machine can't access it via 192.168.1.77 [04:59] that's all i really care about [04:59] d``: Ah', sorry for the mistake. [04:59] NeedsNetworkHelp, I noticed that one too, I think SMBD is the service that samba uses to serve files [04:59] DeezeNuts: Generally, every user will have different settings. This include settings for programs, I believe.

[05:02] MrUnagi: what command are you trying to run [05:02] Sc00t3r: :-) [05:02] Diamondcite: so 10.10 uses 2.6.36 as standard?

[05:04] Can anyone help with a Geom Error [05:05] bonjoyee: I just realized that, mv will just rename folders recursively by default [05:05] How do I e-mail the output of a command from tty? [05:05] Sc00t3r: I looked and connector is only analog output or analog headphones. I tried every option under Hardware, tested speakers each time, no dice. [05:05] jon_athon: there's no PID for 1230, i killed 437 already. What's the process you wanted to kill for 1230? [05:05] NeedsNetworkHelp, used to be SMBD [05:05] PsPhaKeR_: chown -R username:groupname /usr/loca/pspdev [05:06] or can I send output to pastebin from tty? [05:06] NeedsNetworkHelp, if you ps -e | grep smb it'll show any more running process you might need to kill [05:06] yudi1: I have no idea.. main system is always fully used... [05:06] Danny78: use pastebinit [05:06] yudi1: From another person's input, it does yield some performance gain when multi tasking [05:07] jona_thon ok there are 2 more found from that. I'll kill those now and start smbd -d [05:07] Danny78: | less >> test.txt && pastebinit test.txt [05:07] jon_athon: so I haven't been able to get any of the hardware choices to work either, strange but my headphone jack is glowing red inside now... I'm afraid, Dave... [05:07] Diamondcite: I might upgrade to 36, it's pretty stable form what I gathered using google [05:08] q_a_z_steve, uh that doesn't make sense is it like... too much current glowing red... or like an LED glowing red [05:08] jon_athon: everytime i kill the process found by ps -e it seems to spawn 2 new smbd's [05:08] LED, but I didn't ever see one in OSX [05:08] <^Phantom^> i must admit... [05:09] <^Phantom^> it's been nice using ubuntu again [05:09] jon_athon: I don't get why HDA codec isn't automatic...

[05:13] NeedsNetworkHelp, it must already be running a daemon then I guess, that's a bit beyond my understanding, I have mostly network training, but I assume samba is working correctly. The two ports are correct 445 is SMB and 139 is NetBios [05:13] pulseaudio SUX [05:13] That alone doesn't let us help you [05:13] and none of it worked :( [05:13] What do you need? === valeriu__ is now known as a [05:14] Start with what version of Ubuntu, what hardware [05:14] 10.10 [05:14] hello i'm having a problem with my Live CD (installed on USB) getting recognized as SDA and the internal hard drive as SDB. does anyone know how to solve this? === a is now known as Guest24792 [05:14] q_a_z_steve: hardware?

[05:17] static-y [05:17] hard to listen to [05:17] jon_athon: IPBlock takes in a list of IP addresses from bluetack and blocks bad ip's like adware spyware bogons and anti p2p ip addresses. Deluge is just a bittorrent client, it also has a ip blocking plugin [05:17] wait, one sec [05:17] q_a_z_steve when i install ubuntu onto the hard drive (which is SDB) and try to boot i get an error [05:17] http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1323/p00115.jpg [05:17] how can i view mail from ssh or from horde3 distro? [05:17] NeedsNetworkHelp, it's possible. the quickest way to find out (since I don't know the programs) would be to disable both and try. [05:18] NeedsNetworkHelp, if it works enable one and see what happens, then do it again for the other [05:18] hi all guys [05:18] PsPhaKeR_: do you have compiz enabled?

[07:20] Stinkypants: you need to shrink your windows-partition before install, but that should be easy to do in modern windows [07:20] hi.. i have ubuntu 10.10, and i use the .29 nvidia driver, installed manually using .run [07:20] i forgot to rebuild the module after a kernel upgrade. can someone help me how to do that? thanks [07:21] coz_ how to do to see gnome-power-statistics?

Or it doesn't detect your battery at all? [07:23] I have eth0(internet) and eth1 (local) nic's setup.. PC's connected to local NIC can SSH the server fine... the server can ping google fine.. WHY can't i get iptables to allow the local computers to browse the web??

But I can't edit it's template, because it says, it's not writable. Maybe my account doesn't have the permission. With which command I can assign the permission to "view" and "edit" for all directories and files of Joomla folder? [07:24] BAT1 detects that it does not detect my battery status sensors [07:25] My English is very bad I am for a translator [07:25] magik-: see the sections about iptables and ip forwarding in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ThinClientHowtoNAT [07:25] ty.. reading now [07:25] Stinkypants: ok, how much did you have free space after shrinkin? [07:25] t0ken_, what is your language? [07:25] español [07:25] spanish [07:26] !es | t0ken_ [07:26] t0ken_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [07:26] does linux support 1080P videos [07:26] t0ken_, ok try #ubuntu-es [07:26] t0ken_: most acer laptops need bios-upgrade to be able to pass battery status to linux [07:26] gobbe: my hdd is 233GB, and i reserved 50GB for Ubuntu [07:26] Can someone help to assign permission please? [07:26] majornikku: Yes. [07:26] I'm in ubuntu, it's just that I can help [07:26] t0ken_: for my acer aspire 5920g, it says "State | Fully charged", "Percentage | 100%" etc, do you have those rows? [07:27] gobbe: i also ran chkdsk /r , and then tried again with no luck [07:27] No bios update was required [07:27] anything special i have to do to get it to work properly? [07:27] alkisg: maybe your laptop came with decent bios [07:27] It's 3 years old [07:27] Maybe [07:27] alkisg: i had one 5920g and few other aspires in past and two of them needed bios upgrade [07:27] always says that is loaded but does not leave more than that [07:28] majornikku: what graphics card? [07:28] t0ken_: is your computer attached to plug? it doesn't show battery status until its running on battery [07:28] gforce 8000 [07:28] majornikku: I tried vdpau and it worked fine for my 8600, I don't know if 8000 is supported, search the wiki, there's a page for it [07:29] connected or disconnected while this does not show the battery status [07:29] =( [07:29] majornikku: Are you using the proprietary nvidia driver? (check in System > Administration > Additional Drivers). [07:29] Hello. When my computer is on for ~2 hours, all of a sudden my computer freezes. [07:29] Makes weird noises. [07:29] Can't do anything. [07:30] how can i put back the volume icon on the upper taskbar ?

Try logging off and back on: gnome-session-save --logout === Guest89267 is now known as Harness [07:36] majornikku: I don't think vlc properly supports vdpau yet [07:36] It has some commits, but nothing stable, afaik [07:37] recommended vid player, i have many video's with different file ext. from mkv to wma [07:37] AFAIK only mplayer supports vdpau for now [07:38] thanks it worked after a restart [07:38] hey guys [07:38] i clicked somewhere on updates [07:38] and there was like 200 mb update [07:38] i made them all [07:38] glaceman: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:40] are there any chinese ?? [07:40] !cn | Guest28213 [07:40] Guest28213: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [07:40] ? [07:40] im not chinese [07:40] and it's linux [07:40] gobbe- version? [07:40] hop [07:40] you mean php? [07:41] apach2? [07:41] hyun: This is the support channel for Ubuntu. #fedora is the support channel for Fedora. [07:41] oh no i don't very understand what are you say [07:41] have any body say chinese ?? [07:41] he just said version [07:42] zick_C: ? [07:42] gobbe: didnt work :( , "Can't open /dev/sr0: no medium found" and "could not find the ISO /ubuntu/install/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso" [07:43] server irc.unixlab.at [07:43] hyun: when there's a name in front of a line, people refer to him, not to you. Also, different distributions use different commands, that's why there are different channels. No "tasksel install lamp-server" in fedora... [07:43] Stinkypants: with wubi? [07:43] gobbe: yes [07:44] gobbe- alright,where to download it? [07:45] wow... ok i'm trying to get iptables to forward my eth1 devices to eth0 (web) .. now i reboot and craps not mounting. wtf [07:46] gobbe: if i were to try a normal install of ubuntu again... Do I need to create the ext2 and linux swap partitions? or would unallocated space work (so its not necessary to create the partitions)? [07:46] I have question for everyone. Is there a way to get/install all dependancies before I start trying to make/install something? Having it error out due to this dep or the other missing all the time is rather annoying.. [07:47] matthew_: if it's a package, sudo apt-get build-dep packagename [07:47] If it's build source, I'm on my own? [07:47] Depends on the source... it should state its dependencies somewhere [07:47] alkisg [07:47] help me [07:47] matthew_: best thing is to start by making sure the build environment base is setup [07:47] !compile | matthew_ [07:47] matthew_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [07:48] i just installed lamp on fedora 14 and i can't connect from other computer [07:48] matthew_: The INSTALL file should specify all of the build dependencies. What are you trying to compile? [07:48] Okay, thanks everyone! [07:48] matthew_: if you run across things, usually you can search for and install the -dev package of that [07:48] hello! I was looking for the means to start learnig using blender! I am beginner in using this program and I would like to be competent [07:48] hyun: This is not the place to ask for Fedora support. Please stop. [07:48] hyun: we can't give you any advice because we don't know fedora, it's different than ubuntu, even though both use the linux kernel. Ask in #fedora. [07:48] can any one advice me [07:48] matthew_: as -dev packages provide the .h header files required [07:48] i tryed 192.168.0.101 [07:48] but that's not work [07:48] !fedora | hyun [07:49] hyun: Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [07:49] zick_C: virtualbox or what? [07:49] hyun: please /join #fedora and ask there, thanks [07:49] i know... [07:49] okay [07:49] gobbe- yep vbox [07:49] Stinkypants: unallocated space would be enough [07:49] zick_C: it's in package repository, use synaptic or sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [07:49] but it's linux [07:49] gobbe- that's an old one [07:49] It's not the same though [07:50] Each distro is different [07:50] hyun: would you prefer to be forcibly removed? [07:50] That's what we're trying to tell you [07:50] !ubuntu | hyun [07:50] hyun: 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 [07:50] hyun: This is your last warning. We do not support fedora here, #fedora *does* support fedora. [07:50] now when i boot up it says "mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/....... on /root failed: Device or resource busy [07:50] #fedora even links [07:50] It's a single click [07:50] gobbe: k, thanks for your help. I guess I will try to do a normal install again. Since this wubi thing isn't working out, and a normal install is better. [07:50] okay [07:50] Wubi broke for me first time I used it. [07:50] o.O [07:50] then drops me in to busy box [07:50] But that was when it was new. I prefer normally installing it anyhow. [07:51] magik-: that should be completely unrelated to your iptables etc efforts, right? [07:51] yeah.. totally. thats why its driving me nuts.. [07:51] hello, i have problem. I'm trying to play Torcs game but it lags. But my computer it's enough powerful. Maybe it's because video drivers? [07:51] zick_C: www.virtualbox.org then [07:52] gobbe- got it ,THX [07:52] Achmudas: Did you install video drivers? [07:52] Also; what video card do you have? [07:52] hello! I was looking for the means to start learnig using blender! I am beginner in using this program and I would like to be competent. Any one to advice me [07:53] i can't find. My video card is 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07) [07:53] fedora sucks [07:53] We know. [07:53] :D [07:53] Achmudas: that's not your video card, try: lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA [07:53] anyone there [07:53] No, I used it once without a problem. [07:53] !ot | hyun [07:53] hyun: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:54] what [07:54] * Harness would just like to note, you guys blow me out of the water with the stuff you know... [07:54] hyun: try to stick in point. This channel is only for ubuntu-support, other talking should be done somewhere else [07:54] Maybe you can answer me this then; has anyone gotten Optimus working on Ubuntu? [07:54] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a42] (rev 07) Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:20e4] Kernel driver in use: i915 [07:55] i just installed lamp on ubuntu and i can't connect from other computer [07:55] help me [07:55] Heh [07:55] ^I lol'd [07:56] I have an icon theme that has a Dropbox icon that is supposed to replace the original one, but it doesn't do that. How do I make it do that? [07:56] i just installed the google earth package for ubuntu. no errors. but when i launch it from Applications -> Internet -> Google earth, no thing happens. Any ideas why? [07:56] i am having a very hard time figuring out how to recursively change spaces to underscores in folders and files....can anyone lend a hand? [07:57] clu3: run googleearth from a terminal, it might show some errors in the output [07:57] alkisg, thanks : here is the error /usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found [07:57] clu3: so it seems that it's not properly installed [07:58] What's up duder's i just installed ubuntu on my lalptop. I know its late, but I got a quick question if someone is bored! [07:58] maybe a silly question but on Ubuntu 10.10 how do I know if I am using ALSA or pulseaudio? [07:58] MrUnagi: maybe you should write a small script to rename them (or have I misanderstood you)? [07:58] MrUnagi: something alone this, remove the echo after testing: cd folder; find . | xargs echo rename 's/ /_' [07:58] hey im want to run this 'rsync -a -e ssh --delete /etc /media/ftp/RAID5_0/.backup >/var/log/backup$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M)' but it says permission denied for the export to /var/log - is there anything wrong with this string ? [07:59] MrUnagi: forgot a slash: cd folder; find . | xargs echo rename 's/ /_/' [07:59] pianolender: that is what i am trying to accomplish, however, anything i have tried in the middle of other scripts i get directory not found [07:59] yes, total beginner as far as it comes to the linux world [07:59] alkisg: ill try [07:59] claw: you user doesn't have write-access to /var/log [08:00] gobbe im running it as root of corse [08:00] MrUnagi: ah, and better to include only files: cd folder; find . -type f | xargs echo rename 's/ /_/' [08:00] any suggests? [08:00] alkisg: all of a sudden i cant ssh my server lol 1 sec [08:00] MrUnagi: looks like you are trying to access a file/folder which is not in your current directory [08:00] claw: can you pass excact error-message [08:01] claw: paste i mean (to pastebin.ubuntu.com) [08:01] Is there any type of anti-virus software that I need to install for ubuntu? In windows I always download microsoft esential security or AVG, is it necessary to get something similar for ubuntu? [08:01] hahaha [08:01] pianolender: that is what confuses me, the directories it says arent there, the for statement is generating.....so it knows that the directories are there [08:01] how do i figure out wtf is causing the mount problems when booting up now? This wasn't happening 3 hours ago. [08:01] Hehe [08:01] gobbe i got it i was not working with sudo but with sudo -s it runs [08:01] han: not at all [08:01] lol sry I am just starting out! [08:01] thx anyway [08:01] han_, hehehe no [08:02] claw: yes, because sudo stops working after >-mark ;) [08:02] han_ :does ubuntu need antivirus [08:02] MrUnagi: maybe you forgot to cd? [08:02] han_: there's no need to run antivirus, if you are using ubuntu only [08:02] ppo [08:02] hello! I was looking for the means to start learnig using blender! I am beginner in using this program and I would like to be competent. Any one to advice me [08:02] hey guys. I ran a game and it changed my aspect ratio, now i can't view my top bar and my screen is all messed up. is there a way i can do this without logging out or rebooting? I'm running unetbootin so it would be bad to logout [08:02] alkisg, yep googled and found out i needed to install lsb-core package as well, thanks [08:02] ! virus | mwaijandeg [08:02] mwaijandeg: 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 [08:02] cd is at the beginning of script, and a similar script passes before hand pianolender [08:02] :-) yay no antivirus!! My buddy told me i didn't need to but I didn't really believe him! [08:03] ubuntu is it's a antivirus [08:03] that's pretty killer! [08:03] hop han got an answer [08:03] ubuntu is it'self a antivirus [08:03] mwaijandeg: perhaps take your question to #blender [08:03] can somebody tell me how can I register my username in freenode?

[08:04] Anyone on here have any expertise with getting windows programs to run on Karmic? [08:04] MrUnagi: if you paste the output of that script and script itself to paste.ubuntu.com, it may help [08:04] activex64, just move to #freenode and ask this question they will definately help you out [08:04] Alright, next question for all you night owls; I installed Chromium from the "Ubuntu software center" and it works fine, however flash videos do not play (i.e. youtube videos don't work!) Any suggestions? [08:05] Thanks Bipul` [08:05] han_: it's 10:05 in the morning here :) [08:05] han_: you need to install flashplugin [08:05] pianolender: i cant access it, i got dropped from ssh, now i cant access my server, i think im being hacked lol [08:05] in terminal window?

[08:08] so, um [08:08] hi does 1004 have lower system reqs than 1010? [08:08] I wanna go blender community for begin 3D studies [08:09] mwaijandeg: google blender, you might find out several forums [08:09] geek give me direction [08:09] mwaijandeg, then you must join this channel #blender [08:09] I'm trying to install a labsim for a class I'm taking, and it says that the prerequisite for the program is that it needs to install .NET Framework 3.0, but when I try that the program tells me 'Unable to find a volume for file extraction. Please verify that you have proper permissions.' [08:09] there u r [08:09] channel #blender [08:09] just type this message /join #blender [08:10] W43372: you are using wine? [08:10] hi does 1004 have lower system reqs than 1010? [08:10] [08:10] gobbe: Yes.

[08:10] no not on terminal here in X chat or whatever client are you using for IRC [08:10] Gobbe: Or, well, I assume I'm using wine. I just double clicked on the .exe. Am I doing it wrong? [08:10] cradam: about same requirements there are [08:11] han_ Micro$oft Security Essentials was useless, may as well have been AVG free. [08:11] i dont understand how i can be in the middle of an ssh session, then all of a sudden the connection is dropped, and i can no longer connect [08:11] mwaijandeg, if you wants to connect via you ubuntu terminal then you have install irssi [08:11] W43372: if you ahve problems with software under wine, then #winehq-channel can help you [08:11] And I didn't scroll down before I answered questions [08:11] gobbe, shame because my comp is rubbish [08:11] gobbe, Bipul' thank you so much you guys for your help :-) it totally works now!

Is there something more secure out? [08:12] gobbe, does xubuntu still use gnome, or is it a completely different environment [08:12] han_ I don't like M$ in general, but I've never seen their products to be overly reliable [08:12] cradam: it's using xfce, but anyway. gnome is also quite lightweight today [08:12] han_ before I moved over to Linux, I was using Comodo Security Suite, free and quite awesome, verbose and robust. [08:13] cradam: what kind of computer you have there? [08:13] gobbe, i was actually on about the fact that i like gnome [08:13] i have a ppt file, how can i open it under this SO [08:13] gobbe, hp compaq tc1100, tablet netbook [08:13] cradam: how much memory? [08:13] 488MB [08:13] JoseAntonio, Try to open in Gedit [08:13] cradam: ok, memory might be issue. can't you get more? [08:14] im totally freaking out [08:14] alright, totally understand :-) this is actually my first time having a lone ubuntu install on my laptop! Going to be a fun next couple of days ;-) Comodo? I have heard of it, will have to look into it a bit to see if I can switch to it on my home computer! [08:14] gobbe bye [08:14] gobbe: noone is there [08:14] W43372: well, then you just need to wait [08:14] W43372: or try to access some wine-forum [08:15] Thanks again Harness gobbe and Bipul' for the help :-) Going to get some ZzZZ now!

[08:16] yes === johan578 is now known as johanness_ [08:16] I'll have to find one to try o.O [08:17] ohok [08:17] claw: >> [08:17] red2kic where can i read more about things like that ? [08:18] Bipul` I tried one of my PPT files from school it opened flawlessly with OpenOffice Presentation [08:18] Harness, then i think it's working [08:19] other wise repot it as a bug [08:19] Bipul` Indeed, but it wasn't me with the question ;) I was recommending it elsewhere :p [08:19] It was... JoseAntonio who asked the question :P [08:19] claw: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/InputAndOutput#Redirection [08:19] ok [08:19] Anyhow, bedtime [08:19] Good night all [08:19] Thanks for teaching me stuff already. [08:19] Good night === Harness is now known as Harness_zzz [08:20] thank you very much red2kic [08:20] claw: ">> will not empty a file; it will just append new data to the end of it!" [08:23] if the home partition is encrypted and i will install a new system, do you i have to decrypt it first or while installation it will ask for the phasephrase? [08:24] hacked_kernel: i would suggest backing up the unencrupted data somewhere. [08:24] Does anyone know anything about update-initramfs? I've been trying to use it to fix a "no init found" error when I try to boot my computer, but I have an encrypted filesystem and so it always tells me "cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab -", and I'm not sure if that's why I haven't been able to fix the error. [08:24] 'when in doubt' backup. [08:26] ok now i am back in the shell.........can anyone help me figure out how to rename spaces to underscores recursvely? [08:26] in files and folders [08:26] MrUnagi: ive seen scripts that can do that. and otehr example commands last time i googled for it. [08:27] Dr_Willis: i have seen many but when i put them in my script, it fails [08:27] I dont seem to have any in my bin dir. [08:27] * red2kic does not know how to use sed [08:28] please a program to rip dvd's so i can watch them on my laptop [08:28] # for files in *.mp3; do mv “$files” `echo $files | tr ‘ ‘ ‘_’`; done [08:28] glaceman: dvdrip. handbreak, k9copy, proberly others... [08:29] what's the best one Dr_Willis [08:29] glaceman: handbreak is popular.. it depends on your needs. [08:29] handbrake. :) [08:29] I tend to use k9copy to convert video dvd to a video.dvd.iso and play those. [08:30] thanks Dr_Willis [08:30] http://techgurulive.com/2008/09/22/how-to-remove-spaces-from-filenames-linux/ [08:30] glaceman: Just to throw another in the mix, I use AcidRip. [08:31] glaceman: Just to throw another in the mix, I use dvdbackup. [08:31] Dr_Willis: what about folders too [08:31] MrUnagi: the url i gave mentiuon recursively doing things on down the page. [08:33] hi [08:33] ok guys [08:33] this is my first time dealing with PPA stuffs [08:33] i just went on some website for handbrake [08:33] !ppa [08:33] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [08:34] added the ppa [08:34] sudo apt-get update [08:34] then what ? [08:34] glaceman: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:35] upgrade, then install the package [08:35] yeah but what package ? [08:35] i mean i didn't download anything [08:35] the ubuntu tweak program has a gui that lets ya install enable the ppa/install handbreak and other 3rd party apps [08:35] use package manager se4arch for 'handbreak' [08:36] or however its spelt. :) [08:36] I recall the actual binary for handbrake having an odd name also. [08:38] * Bangsak is back (gone 00:13:15) [08:38] * Bangsak is away: I'm not here right now..!!! [08:43] is this the right place to ask beginner question ? [08:43] jjkinas: Sure. Why not? Ask away. [08:44] :) You just asked one.. so sure.. ask some more. [08:44] ok i tried to add indicator-workspaces to startup applications [08:44] and it wont open but it opens when i type indicator-workspaces in console [08:44] Hmm. neat 'spaces in file name renamer' method ---> find2perl . -depth -eval 'my $o=$_; tr/_/ /; -e or rename $o,$_ or warn "cannot rename $o to $_: $!"' | perl [08:45] it just wont open on startup [08:45] jjkinas: make a script that runs that binary, and have the script 'wait' like 10 sec.. so the desktop is loaded befor the command runs. [08:46] somthing like (3 lines) -> #!/bin/bash sleep 50 commandtorun & [08:46] gobbe, my ubuntu install just went ru [08:46] *rubbish so i need a new one [08:46] jjkinas: i would guess the command is running befor the panel/rest of the desktop is ready. [08:46] thank you [08:46] Cradam: what version were you running? [08:47] jjkinas: ive seen this trick needed with other apps like conky and stuff befor as well. I t3nd to make a 'delayed-start.sh' script i just put such commands in. [08:47] 10.10 it went corrupt because i did an instant shutdown Gnea [08:47] ah, yes instant shutdowns tend to be problematic, but I would suggest 10.04 [08:48] thanks dr_willis [08:48] 'instant' ? thats where the dog pulls the power plug? [08:48] or the cat gnaws on the cord [08:48] Grandkids gnaws on the cords... [08:49] is there a set way to monitor the input of a line in? [08:49] on any given sound card [08:49] Why would my ubuntu server go from booting up fine to having all sorts of mounting issues? I tried rescuing through the rescue menu and rebuild grub.. now i get stuck at the grub menu.. when i give grub commands to boot linux i get mount errors ;( [08:49] Grandkids notice the BIG BLUE button that makes Grandpaw yell when he reaches for it.... [08:49] Gnea, i have a very low amount of ram and a GHz processor can u suggest a good os, gobbe suggested xubuntu [08:49] Cradam: which figures do you have, exactly? [08:49] magik-: could be HD died. or other FS errors . it all depends on the exact errors.. [08:49] i'm clearly inputting audio i just don't see anything for it on alsamixer [08:50] 488 MB at 333DDR and a 1GHz processor pentium m [08:50] Cradam: 'lubuntu' is the lowest resource 'ubuntu' varient out with a relatively full featured desktop. [08:50] well.. my bootup raid screen shows healthy mirror's.. what log should i be checking out? [08:50] Cradam: yes, xubuntu would be a good choice, and don't use firefox with it, install google chrome from the daily ppa [08:50] magik-: i dont do raids.. so it may be some sort of raid issue. You could boot a live cd and check out the fs's i guess for starters. [08:50] Cradam: hmmmh, what happened? [08:51] Cradam: you could try lubuntu as well [08:51] well the raid has nothing to do with it.. something else fishy is going on [08:51] Hey, I'm having trouble with CF cards could anyone give me a hand [08:52] choof: just explain the problem [08:52] gobbe i instant shutdown my comp because i was in a hurry and xchat started playin up so i decided i would have a fredh install === che is now known as Guest52458 [08:53] *fresh [08:54] am about to uninstall old 1 [08:54] I still have to wonder what an 'instant' shutdown is. [08:54] instant like when u hold down power button for 4 seconds [08:55] I would call that 'forceing power off' :) [08:55] same thing [08:55] a filesystem check would be in order. [08:55] my dad calls it manual shut down [08:56] I would call it other words.. that are not allowed in this channel.. :) [08:56] lol [08:56] I'm trying to install an embedded operating system on a CF card but /dev/hdX or sdX don't seem to exist [08:56] reminds me of a laptop we had to remove the battery once - to make it shutdown. [08:56] choof: check 'sudo fdisk -l' and 'dmesg' to see what exists. [08:57] will do Dr_Willis [08:57] lol, that happened to me once except it was the college comp so i didnt touch the 3 pin lead [08:57] Cradam: thats not a shutdown...its like choking the computer! [08:57] Cradam: to death! [08:58] bonjoyee: well it shut it down! :) forever! [08:58] That is like taking out the computer with a sledgehammer. [08:58] best client/server for sharing desktop space between two computer [08:58] Dr_Willis: :) [08:58] yeah i shutdown the coffin on that os, i forgot because nothing happens when u do it in windows [08:58] Hmm. I installed ffmpeg from source.. now cant get winff to underatand it dosent need the dependencuies.. Whats the 'proper' way to force an 'sudo apt-get install winff [08:58] Cradam: so what are u trying now? [08:59] hello [08:59] without it being mad and saying -> winff : Depends: ffmpeg but it is not going to be installed [08:59] oh shit, problem solved, thanks Dr_Willis [08:59] bonjoyee, either xubuntu or lubuntu [08:59] choof: :) what was it. [08:59] gpg --decrypt needs X server being started, is there anything that I can do to work without X? [09:00] itll be xubuntu cause thats the one wubi provides, which would people suggest 10.4 or 10.10 [09:00] Cradam: thats not true..linux in fact is better in my opinion..as i encounter abnormal shutdowns almost everday(because of power failures!) [09:00] help [09:00] Eren: from whati see int he gpg man pages.. that statement dosent make sence. [09:00] Eren: i dont see where it 'needs' X at all. [09:01] oh ok then, i remember once when i was a kid i had a virus or something which auto rebooted my computer [09:01] /HELP -l [09:01] yo! I can't get my intellimouse 3.0 to work correctly, it wont light up immiedatly. Works perfect with the W7 partition. What can be done? [09:01] Guest52458: you sould have better luck if you stated the problem. [09:02] ok should i go for 10.4 [09:02] does anybody runs autofs on 10.4 lucid? [09:03] Cradam: 10.10 lubuntu - is quite good. [09:03] d3cented: i'm sure that quite many, ask your question [09:03] im goin for xubuntu because i can try that out easier [09:03] ok ill go for 1010 cubuntu [09:04] *x [09:04] xubuntu is not that much lighter then gnome.. but it does have a bit more features then lubuntu. [09:04] Dr_Willis: manually download the winff deb and install with dpkg -i --force [09:04] all i need is it not to almost crash when it updates [09:04] hmm, moment i'am in the forums and read all the problems that i also have... it's just that the folder appears but always empty despite --ghost [09:04] Dr_Willis: yep. it was few years ago when xfce was much lighter, but today it's about same [09:05] hey [09:05] what's up guys [09:05] d3cented, Most people providing help usually don't have empathy for questions which seem you're just asking for statistics... [09:05] anyone talking? [09:05] if there was a wubi for lu i would use it but i don't much like partitioning as it is [09:06] !ask | siawash [09:06] siawash: 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. :-) [09:07] ?!?!????? [09:07] i hate when a fresh install seems like the only solutions [09:07] ahh xubuntus logo has a dog in it [09:08] magik-, What's the matter? [09:08] Cradam: it's mouse, not dog :) [09:08] I got lubuntu setup on a 8gb flash drive as a 'rescue' os. :) [09:08] Cradam: i believe thats a mouse! [09:09] spent the day configuring samba and trying to get iptables forwarding traffic from my internal network NIC/switch to the web (eth0/eth1) .. I go and reboot.. and then I get mounting problems [09:09] oh maybe oops but when its small it also looks like 1 of those furry dogs [09:09] i boot from live cd and have it update grub.. now when i reboot it goes to the grub command line [09:09] is there a wine channel here that's not invite only? [09:09] Israfel: many of them are 'registered nick' only. [09:09] !wine [09:09] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [09:09] hi! I have problem with my sound. It is not mutet and turned up everywhere, what can i do more? =) It works on my windows partition. [09:09] I am registered. [09:10] #winehq i think is the main one [09:10] Ok, thanks. [09:10] phox_: i got the same problem [09:10] magik-, You're using latest grub version, righr? [09:10] s/righr/right/ [09:10] it only works when i plug in my headphones [09:10] yes [09:10] Israfel: If you're not registered, then you haven't identified yourself. [09:10] ok. setup my auto.master and in my case auto.nfs with correct parameters... starting autofs the folder appears correct but nothings in it..... btw in auto.master i commented '+auto.master' but with it, it doesn't work either [09:10] If you are* [09:10] glaceman: doesnt even work with headphones with me. [09:10] magik-, Single disk? Single OS? Or dual-boot? [09:11] phox_: try alsamixer [09:11] any suggestions? [09:11] unmute any sound if it's the case [09:11] glaceman: what is it? [09:11] check ur sound card [09:11] d3cented: upload both files to pastebin.ubuntu.com [09:11] moment [09:11] mirror raid 4 drives.. so only working with 2 virtual drives.. 1st drive . ubuntu server 10.10 only / 2nd drive is just for storage [09:11] open a shell [09:12] and type alsamixer [09:12] !fr [09:12] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [09:12] glaceman: it is not mutet, and the soundcard is working. Ok ill try that [09:13] phox_: please pastebin the output of "aplay -l" and "lspci | grep -i audio" [09:13] bonjoyee: ok, 1 sec [09:13] i'm just going to reinstall at this point.. i could have saved things earlier but this is too outta hand for me [09:14] glaceman: everything looks good in alsamixer i think, everything is tuned up atlest [09:14] phox_: use the left/right arrow keys also to see if theres any mixer controlls to the 'side' you may not be noticeing [09:14] under the propreties of ur sounds card [09:14] have u checkeed the ouput [09:14] magik-, You might want to check this out before reinstalling http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html [09:14] Dr_Willis: I did that. Everything is set to 11. hehe. [09:15] hi! I'd like to install Ubuntu using a USB stick and I'm running debian; what should I do? (on the site the instructions don't explain how to do it in a general GNU/Linux distribution) [09:15] glaceman: Under the "System" thing? Yes. Atleast i think so. or where do you mean? [09:15] on the upper right on ur desktop [09:15] there's the sound icon [09:15] * bonjoyee is away...brb [09:15] right click on it [09:15] alright http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/551738/ [09:15] propreties [09:15] glaceman: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:15] i mean left click phox_ sound preferences [09:16] check the hardware tab phox_ [09:17] d3cented: why did you comment +auto.master? [09:17] white_r: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/03/how-to-install-ubuntu-from-a-bootable-usb-drive/ [09:17] d3cented: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [09:17] bonjoyee: here is the output : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/bd47eZX9 [09:17] glaceman: ok i will [09:17] anyway if i comment or not, still the same [09:18] xxubuntu is about 10 mins smaller in torrent time remaining [09:18] glace: im sry, but where do you mean? Please direct me.. :P [09:18] glaceman: oh now i see u wrote [09:18] twiztid: thanks :) [09:19] can please someone guide me to a link where i can learn how to back up my system and what program to use [09:19] i read all the stuff... can it be a permissions problem or port or something, i run ufw but tried already when disabled [09:19] glaceman: the icon isnt there, that shouldnt make a difference i guess. But i see under sound that it is turned up [09:19] !backup | glaceman [09:19] glaceman: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [09:19] Dr_Willis: pinentry needs X [09:19] however, let me dig into it [09:19] !clone | glaceman [09:19] glaceman: 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 [09:20] ubottu: i was thinking more about a way to completly clone the system [09:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:20] in case of a crash or something similar [09:20] hahahahahahahaha [09:21] n1 glaceman ;) [09:21] hey all... i have a little problem with my maverick installation.... all is good but the screen flickers every 5-10 seconds... I have read alot about this but no workarounds help... I have disabled power management in hopes that it was not working well with the screens power save modes an options... but it still flickers... i have heard talk about the new kernel (2.6.37) might address this but im unsure... could anyone help? [09:21] would norton ghost backup ur system or is that only for MS [09:21] bonjoyee: so what do you think of the output? [09:21] glaceman, you might want to check out Clonezilla a livecd that does hard drive cloning - similar to Ghost [09:21] Cradam: theres similer backup tools for linux. [09:21] phox_: looking into it.. [09:22] i will ZykoticK9 thanks for the tip [09:22] I recall one called 'g4l' ages ago (ghost for linux) , and theres mondo/mindi that can make a bootable dvd/cd/networking restore media. [09:22] gobbe: ok i'm sure i'll get it to work because of you did, thanks anyway for no [09:22] all [09:23] now [09:23] d3cented: ? [09:23] i am running on a radeon x1300 card and the screen flickers every 5-10 seconds... I have read alot about this but no workarounds help... I have disabled power management in hopes that it was not working well with the screens power save modes an options... but it still flickers... i have heard talk about the new kernel (2.6.37) might address this but im unsure... could anyone help? [09:24] ZykoticK9: does clone zilla also backup the bootloader (grub) in case i totally installed a new hard disk ? [09:24] if u might know [09:24] phox_: check if this helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1524815 [09:25] d3cented: so you are trying to get /home/g/nfs/www to be mounted from 192.168.178.10:/var/www ? [09:25] glaceman, yes I believe that is an option (but consult the documentation to verify) [09:25] bonjoyee: I am not using the HDMI-sound, but an external sound card. Something like sound audigy 2 sz i think. [09:25] ok [09:25] Hi, I am not able to go online on Spectranet broadband [09:26] d3cented: if you want to mount only one folder, autofs is quite waste there, why just don't mount it with /etc/fstab [09:26] yes 192.168.178.10:/var/www should be mounted in /home/g/..... [09:27] because my server is not available all the time.... [09:27] fstab can have a 'noauto' entry - where you mount the location by hand. [09:27] when you want. [09:27] btw if it would work i surely wanna mount more folders [09:27] just not on 'first access' automaticall. [09:28] Dr_Willis: i think i'll try that one..... [09:29] phox_: so i assume this is a desktop with three audio jacks on the back? [09:30] but why is then autofs? for exactly i should use it????? [09:30] * Dr_Willis goes back to reading the latest linux news and other blogs.. [09:30] for what i mean? [09:30] d3cented: for example if you have shared users and you want to have home-folders automounted [09:31] gobbe: that makes totally sense i got u..... thx [09:31] http://www.linux-consulting.com/Amd_AutoFS/autofs-3.html#ss3.1 [09:31] which free antivir for windows? [09:31] !ot | SliderV3 [09:31] SliderV3: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [09:31] allows you to have acces to have access to large numbers of filesystems and directories, and only those that are used will be mounted, minimizing your risk from those unused servers. [09:32] Dr_Willis: thx [09:32] SliderV3: i only use the ones that also support linux versions. I think theres like 3. [09:32] SliderV3: Ubuntu is a pretty good antivirus software. [09:32] 能不能用中文阿 [09:32] bonjoyee: it is acctually a 7.1 card, with 7.1 sound system. I dont remember whether it has worked earlier on this ubuntu comp, but i think so. Worked last night on the W7 partition [09:32] I need to read up on whats new in the 'free' av area some time. AVG, avast, and clamav i think are the main ones.. are there others? [09:33] phox_: ok..so 6 audio jacks? [09:33] Please don't discuss AV software for Windows in here. Go off-topic. [09:33] Dr_Willis: You don't need to worry about them. It *really* is a liberating feeling. Viruses be gone! :) [09:34] bonjeyy: something like that, yes :) [09:35] hi, i have this question, i wanted to convert an video from XviD to h264 with smaller resolution so that i can play it on my phone, nokia ... how long could i expect it to take? its a ~40minutes long... aristo says 600:00 remaining - does it mean 600hrs? [09:35] zonggu: please move to #ubuntu-tw [09:36] red2kic: i still like to scan the lan/network every so often just to be sure no windows 'things' have gotten stored in some download dir. or users caches. :) [09:36] bonjoyee: no im sry!! it was the sound on the motherboard with 6 contacts [09:36] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-avast-anti-virus-software-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick.html [09:36] 'free' but you have to register and get a ### for one year. [09:37] i keep havin to delay my windows update because of my xubuntu install [09:37] bonjoyee: let me start up the windows partition and see if it works.. [09:37] can u pause wubi? [09:38] Cradam: i dont think thats a good idea. [09:38] then again - i dont think using Wubi is a good idea. :) But pauseing a wubi install = proberly not possible [09:40] it there anyone who tired converting video to h264? [09:40] how i can download you tube videos [09:40] martinZGR: thats easially done. [09:40] sukhi: i use the various firefox extensions to do that [09:40] how [09:41] martinZGR: Use VLC. It can play popular formats. [09:41] Sh3r1ff: ffmpeg/mencoder or front ends to those 2. [09:41] !info winff [09:41] winff (source: winff): graphical video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.2.0-1ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 1416 kB, installed size 4496 kB [09:41] martinZGR: yes, I use ffmpeg to convert video to h.264 [09:41] youp, i know it can be done, but the question is how long did it take you? bcs in my case arista says 604:34 [09:41] martinZGR: but i had to install some libs from medibuntu to do the aac audio encoding [09:41] In some cases one MAY need to install a custome/updated ffmpeg. for aac or some other formats. [09:41] oh, not long, but then the videos arent long in my case [09:41] i need to reinstall winXp on a dual boot machine. Should i place ubuntu in an extended or primary partition? which does windows prefer? does it matter? [09:42] i found one of the better ones to be "YouTube Enhancer" at userscripts.org - you need to install GreaseMonkey extension first. It provides not only nice clean reliable YouTube d/l, but many other nice features [09:42] mine video is 40minutes [09:42] martinZGR: is it doing two-pass encoding? [09:42] martinZGR: it all depends ont he settings used. h264 can take longer.. but thats a tradeoff - you get better quailty/smaller size.. [09:42] s there a youtube to mp3 conv [09:42] I dont think 2 pass doubles the time it takes.. but it does take a lot longer [09:42] y does ff linux look completely diffferent to ff win [09:43] Cradam: That's just GUI. [09:43] sukhi - lol is that a russian nick? [09:43] i know but why make design enhancements if u arent gonna put them on all platforms [09:43] Cradam: what 'ff' are your efering to? [09:44] firefox [09:44] vid d/l i just open nautilus with 2 tabs (/tmp & 'my video folder) then copy,paste rename [09:44] Cradam: they lookt he same to me... care to clarify. [09:44] it is using something like that in arista: pass=qual quantizer=21 me=umh subme=6 ref=3 interlaced=false cabac=0 threads=0 [09:44] Cradam: they look the same here, too [09:44] keevee09: it doesn't matter, but you'll need to put grub again in MBR, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling from LiveCD [09:45] hello. i have ubuntu 10.10 and suddenly im just getting sound on my headphones and not my speakers when i unplugg the headphone, can someone please help me [09:45] im on about the gui like the buttons and stuff like that [09:45] keevee09 - you don't sometimes "miss" c/p-ing a vid once in a while because it disappears from /tmp when it completes? [09:45] rgr thnx alkisg. odd install this time as winXP is listed twice in grub but only installed once [09:45] Cradam: are you talking about the things that the OS provides? [09:45] keevee09: probably ntldr and the other windows boot files are there on 2 partitions [09:45] Tweek: i pause it before it completes playing [09:45] like window borders and decorations? [09:45] ceran - check your sound config via preferences, and/or via pulseaudio volume control applet [09:46] pl tell me about my prob [09:46] no the back buttons, and the personalities ff was going on about [09:46] TweekTweak, ok tnx [09:46] ok thnx alkisg :) [09:46] hi [09:46] anyone help me pls [09:46] Cradam: those are themeable, so if you have a different theme installed, that's your bag [09:46] !ask | ljloverrj_ [09:46] ljloverrj_: 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. :-) [09:46] ceran - i had that happen to me - i found a dropdown that can be set to either analog audio speakers or headphone [09:47] ceran - it's of use if u also use usb headphones sometimes (depends on what combinations of hardware/headsets you need in various situations). [09:47] oh ok ill see what ff4beta looks like in xfce [09:47] how i can download [09:48] sukhi : download what? [09:48] sukhi: i use the downloadhelper addon for firefox [09:48] TweekTweak, ok tnx, but i dont have usb headphones [09:48] sukhi - if u use firefox, try getting greasemonkey extension, then go to userscripts.org and get YouTube Enhancer script - you'll thank me. Best I've found over many searches :)\ [09:48] youtube videos [09:48] ahh srry [09:49] sukhi - and does your nick mean "b*tch" in russian? [09:49] i wish i did because some of the comps i use have the 3.5mil port locked away [09:49] TweekTweak, i think i got some popup when i plugged in the headphones, and changed the settings to headphones, and now i dont know how to turn it back to speakers, have checked everything in sound settings [09:50] sukhi: install flashgot extension on firefox..then play the yt video...then click the icon that flashes on the status bar in firefox.. [09:50] uhm i installed powertop in my ubuntu [09:50] then run it and it powersaved my usb [09:50] ceran have you tried pluggin them back in and seein whether u get the pop up again [09:50] how can i turn it off? [09:50] yes [09:50] Cradam: why not google chrome? [09:50] nothing is happening [09:50] ceran - do u have the pa stuff installed (missed what version ub u runnin, sorry)? dropdowns in there control some routing of audio, too, as well as other settings only available via pavolume and other tools [09:51] no pop up [09:51] i have ubuntu 10.10 [09:51] i am now gonna remake my personalised windows classic theme, that'll pass a couple of hours [09:51] hello, is it possible to log in as admin on a live cd? i need to run a command as root [09:51] ljloverrj_: you could uninstall it [09:51] Alpha_10: sudo su [09:51] sudo -i [09:52] how do i uninstall it? [09:52] ceran - okay, i think that has the pa stuff in on original install. i run some earlier versions and had to add it from repositories :) the pa stuff shows on the sound and video menu i believe in 10.10 [09:52] ljloverrj_: open a terminal, type: sudo apt-get remove powertop [09:52] ok [09:52] gnea: thanks [09:52] (lol, dang, i feel useful, maybe! wooo! finally giving back!) rofl [09:52] ljloverrj_: cheers [09:53] my mouse still powers off [09:54] Oh, while we're talkin sound, anyone EVER been able to get a USB headset mic to work for VOIP in OpenArena? regular mic input i can make work just fine. but usb headset mic (which works for everything else in ubu) just silent in OA. ?

Is there a run level init script manager like rc-config in gentoo, or chkconfig in rhel? or is it just the add a script to /etc/rd3.d directory? [09:58] v3trae: update-rc.d? [09:58] v3trae: update-rc.d [09:58] this is the website. http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1660958 yes i did because of jurnialing it is impossible to use stab to do this manually [09:59] alkisg: bonjoyee: that'll do it. Thank you very much [09:59] v3trae: theres the files in /etc/init/ for 'upstart' managed services you can rename. Im not sure if update-rc.d manages /etc/init [09:59] terminal rejects the "-t" function and i changed the o to c since it needs to run a command [09:59] v3trae: most all services are using 'upstart' these days. the sysv files/dirs you see are actually being 'grandfathered' in via upstart. [10:00] Dr_Willis: rgr, appreciate it. Moving back to debian after a long long hiatus [10:01] Alpha_10 - thx, looking now === derick_ is now known as Guest6837 [10:01] that'll do for now [10:02] Where can I wipe the font settings in Gnome?

[10:15] i thought jolicloud was pretty much included in ubuntu forums loll [10:15] siawash: windows isn't -,- [10:16] well i'd just increase the size from within jolicloud obviously [10:16] i wonder if it even gives that option [10:16] !ot [10:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[10:20] magik-: sudo mount /dev/sdXY /dir/you/want/it [10:20] magik-: if you want permanent mount, then you need to add it to /etc/fstab [10:20] better question.. whats that command to see all the different mounted partiitions [10:20] thanks gobbe! [10:20] err not mounted.. different available [10:21] dmesg | grep sata [10:21] need a desktop notetaker like MS OneNOte [10:21] Marchitos: i normally set the iso to boot from a usb flash drive.. thats very fast. :) set up 1 machine as a 'apt-cacher-ng' server. so all machines get the updates from that one machine. helps greately also. [10:22] yes.. [10:22] is possible to specify to get files from ftp? [10:22] gobbe.. how do I know which /dev/sdXY to use? [10:22] where do i set it? [10:22] to ubuntu installer?

Set up grub2 to boot an iso file from spare hard drive :) [10:23] magik-: 'sudo fdisk -l' and examone the layout. see whats what. perhaps mount some of them to learn what each is. Set proper 'labels' on them and blkid can show the labels also [10:23] magik-: sudo fdisk -l [10:23] magik-: lists all partitions [10:25] this is also very faster [10:25] wow it says /dev/dm-4 doesn't contain a valid partition table [10:25] i found the ftp option [10:25] now ubuntu asks for an archive [10:25] how do i create it?

I need some grub help. My laptop (EeePC 1201) is dualboot Ubuntu/Win7. When I run update-grub, it says a Vista bootloader was found of /dev/sda3. But /dev/sda3 is a Fat32 partition that contains the ASUS recovery. Windows is /dev/sda1. How do I tell that to grub? Right now when I choose Windows in grub, it boots sda3 which offers to wipe my HDD and reinstall Windows...

[11:15] Dr_Willis: it doesnt say maverick [11:15] or 10.10 [11:16] Bodsda, thats also good to finde :) [11:16] hovefirse: perhaps possible.. but not a good idea [11:16] then past the result [11:16] PoshePocket: Try cat /etc/issue [11:16] hovefirse: sure, you can grab packages for any version from packages.ubuntu.com [11:16] !version [11:16] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [11:16] Poshepocket, past the result in ubuntu pastbin [11:16] Bipul`, I got 2.6.32-27-generic. [11:17] How do I use pastebin, how do I even copy from a terminal window. [11:17] Of course, I'd like to do it automagically, through apt-get [11:17] hovefirse: that's dependent on it's dependancies [11:17] Poshepocket: install the 'pastebinit' command and use that. Makes it easy [11:17] Poshepocket, Ctrl-Shift- V and C [11:17] 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP [11:17] lsb_release -a | pastebinit [11:17] if ubuntu installs an incorrect network driver by default, what's the best way to fix it? [11:17] Poshepocket: theres also the 'select' then 'middle click in a window' method. [11:18] yep. I did that. [11:18] Poshepocket, check this paste.ubuntu.com/ [11:18] sacarlson: It's a plugin to VDR (a video recorder), so methinks it should be quite safe... [11:18] Is what I did up there useful? [11:18] fructose: uninstall it with the pacakge manager. then install the proper one. [11:18] What would I need to tweak to install it with apt-get? [11:18] Dr_Willis: How do you locate new drivers with the package manager? [11:18] hovefirse: you can set pin in synaptic to set a version of a package you want to keep or move to [11:19] Dr_Willis: Or even locate the old ones [11:19] Anyone? Please? [11:19] fructose: Ive rarely needed to. depends on the device [11:19] Hi. I need some grub help. My laptop (EeePC 1201) is dualboot Ubuntu/Win7. When I run update-grub, it says a Vista bootloader was found of /dev/sda3. But /dev/sda3 is a Fat32 partition that contains the ASUS recovery. Windows is /dev/sda1. How do I tell that to grub? Right now when I choose Windows in grub, it boots sda3 which offers to wipe my HDD and reinstall Windows... [11:19] fructose: pacakage maanger has a search feature. theres also the 'addational drivers' tool. [11:19] sacarlson: Where di I do that (I run my server in terminal mode - no GUI). [11:19] Hello pleas i need help with Wi-fi [11:20] hovefirse: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [11:20] Bipul`, http://paste.ubuntu.com/551757/ [11:20] sacarson: Cheers! [11:20] hovefirse: it can be done in apt-get also [11:20] je tu nějakěj čech? [11:20] Poshepocket, yes you are using ubuntu 10.04 lucid [11:21] and that's a 32 bit [11:21] Bipul`, does that mean that I can't "suspend" and "hibernate" [11:21] sacarson: "Pinning is a process that allows you to remain on a stable release of Ubuntu (or any other debian system) while grabbing packages from a more recent version." But I'd like to grab packages from *earlier* versions...same procedure, anyway? [11:21] Dr_Willis: Yeah, the drivers dont show up in any of my searches [11:22] Poshepocket, nops it does not that mean actully just give me a time to think on you problem [11:22] !cz | areon [11:22] areon: České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. [11:23] hovefirse: I guess worst case you run with both repositories in your list but not very wise in my opinion [11:23] . [11:23] Poshepocket, are you on laptop ? [11:23] oCean: so sorry but ubuntu-cz not working [11:23] Bipul`, yep [11:23] i used recordmydesktop GUI, the output file is .ogv. how can i make this a avi or mp4, mpeg?? [11:24] sacarlson: Doing it temporarily? Just while installing the desired package, then removing the old repo? [11:24] need help, i am using vmware, then I loaded the iso ubuntu 10.10 x86, while vmware is installing, there's a message saying "you can login your user and password" else wait for the graphical user interface to get installed [11:24] sacarlson: Would that feel safer...? [11:24] http://www.linux.com/news/hardware/laptops/8253-how-to-suspend-and-hibernate-a-laptop-under-linux Just read this might be it will help ful to you [11:24] when i tried to log in, i was able to log, but now i don't see any GUI anymore [11:24] kyle___: winff, ffmpeg, mencoder, or other front ends to those [11:24] should I restart the machine ? [11:24] areon: ok. but this is english only [11:24] hovefirse: I guess you could just download the deb file and try load it and find what dependinses you end up seeing at install with dpkg [11:25] sacarlson: Probably smarter...I'm not too familiar with that process...any walkthroughs on the net you'd recommend? [11:25] Dr_Willis: You don't happen to know if i can change the output file so i don't have to convert after.. [11:25] . [11:25] Poshepocket, check this also http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/54610 [11:25] kyle___: i leave them as ogv. [11:25] kyle___: check the programs settings i guess. [11:26] hovefirse: you sure just the pinning won't work? [11:27] sacarlson: No, never done it - I just quoted the link you sent me. [11:27] sacarlson: But, experimenting is half the fun! I'll start by downloading the .deb-file and fool around with it! [11:28] hovefirse: in my case danger experiments I keep in virtualbox, I just delete them after I have my fun with an idea [11:28] Bipul`, I've tried installing that apmd thing but it's still not letting me 'suspend" [11:29] Guys can any one help me in compiling Gyachi on ubuntu10.10 as it got some issue with this file i hop so http://paste.ubuntu.com/551759/ [11:29] anyone ? [11:29] sacarlson: Probably clever - but this is just a plugin to an application I use, so I consider it somewhat safe... [11:29] how come i don't see a GUI in my newly installed ubuntu 10.10 in vmware ? [11:29] :( [11:29] Poshepocket, ok hold up let me look at tat [11:29] all i see is a black screen where i can do login and type commands [11:29] How can I find out if I have a PCI Express slot on my Mobo? [11:30] Without opening my pc up :P [11:30] Why do all these KDE applications keep going into fullscreen mode by themselves? Why can't I get them back to normal? [11:31] sasori: if you want gui try virtualbox [11:32] sacarlson: does that mean the VMware can't really show an ubuntu 10.10 with a graphical user interface similar from what the ubuntu site describes ? [11:32] i mean the ubuntu site shows a nice ubuntu with stuffs that are clickable,,so you mean vmware can't show those stuff up ? [11:33] sasori: not sure [11:33] hmmn ok thanks [11:33] sasori: : you did install the desktop edition? [11:34] how to connect partimage to ubuntu? [11:34] raven: like iso image?

[12:18] so they are all re-added right away [12:18] soemthing i m missing? [12:19] raven: maybe just use the dd command to create a image of the partition and rsync that file [12:20] theduke: well it's probably modifying the links so that apache would *not* start... but are you sure apache isn't use an upstart script anyway?

[12:23] nunya, there is a way to make a 2 seconds [12:23] raven: well the rsync might compress it before it sends it [12:23] not the very best option [12:23] nunya, sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [12:23] nunya: edit /etc/default/grub, set GRUB_TIMEOUT=2 [12:23] hi!

[16:14] Cradam: there are tonnes of guides how to make install USBs, what a ridiculous statement [16:14] Cradam: I recommend unetbootin, always works for me [16:14] should i use persistent or normal?

[16:30] rusty149: that's what's confusing me! two accounts set up in gwibber [facebook & identica] - but nothing found as to to where / what file held in. [16:30] yes the kernel boot and when it runs the init scripts blank screen [16:31] antonyclince: is this a new install? [16:31] yes its a new install [16:31] ActionParsnip: rusty149 [time to remove accounts and set them up again methinks] ;) [16:32] antonyclince: Then best to do a new install. You don;t have to worry about data and settings [16:32] ActionParsnip: rusty149 ... and thanks for both your efforts [16:32] hello. i am doing a net install of ubuntu, used the mini iso after the base install, i'll install lxde. but, even without anything running, the laptop is running very warm [16:32] i tried installing it twice same problem [16:32] suprengr_: You can do sudo apt-get purge gwibber [16:33] is there a way for the CPU to scale down when I am not doing anything? [16:33] the blank screen always comes [16:33] Supertanker: not something i use tbh, but those are the normal places apps store configs [16:33] my laptop has a intel core i3 2.13 processor [16:33] antonyclince: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [16:35] antonyclince: ActionParsnip: Good point, if it is an X problem then you should be able to do Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a prompt? [16:35] rusty149: true, usually the 'nomodeset' sorts the black boot screen out [16:35] i tried that but not getting a console [16:36] Hello. How would I find out my computer's architecture? uname --hardware-platform returns unknown [16:36] anyone have tips for ubuntu 64 bit running on an i3? i dont even have X enabled, but the laptop is running very warm. what do i need to do for the heating to be okay and the fans dont have to spin as crazily all the time [16:36] SillyKone: uname -m i868 ==32bit x86_64 == 64bit [16:36] during installing i used nomodeset to remove the balnk screen [16:37] antonyclince: then boot to root recovery mode, add it in /etc/default/grub then run: sudo update-grub [16:37] is any know a good replacement of dreamwaver to ubnutu? [16:37] ActionParsnip: uname: extra operand `i868' :( [16:37] danidragon: bluefish or kompozer spring to mind [16:37] SillyKone: no, the command is: uname -m [16:38] also, it's i686 - and that's something you look for in the output, not somthing you type [16:38] Is it possible to play .swf files in movie player? [16:38] Thanks. [16:38] SillyKone: I used the many spaces to differentiate command from info, it's also i686 not i868 [16:38] so it's x86_64 now not amd64? [16:38] SillyKone: watch what you copy and paste [16:39] hello everybody, my update manager says it cant download the following package: http://ppa.launchpad.net/plaxx/random-fixes/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz [16:39] Random832: 64bit will always say x86_64 afaik, it's never reported amd64 [16:39] Hi. I'm trying to figure out how gdm is started during boot - there is no gdm script in /etc/rc2.d to launch it [16:39] i think it did originally back when amd was the only ones that made it [16:39] Sorry, I thought I was supposed to copy that whole line. :) Didn't seem like bash. [16:39] So then when I download Ubuntu, should I download the amd64 or i386? [16:39] i might be thinking of windows though, there are certain bits of windows that call it amd64 internally [16:40] SillyKone: what kind of processor do you have [16:40] SillyKone: depends on needs and use and ram amount [16:40] is it possible to play .swf files in Movie Player?

[16:44] ActionParsnip: 2G. [16:44] SillyKone: /proc/cpuinfo, not lspci [16:44] SillyKone: ok and what do you use the system for? [16:44] though i think that's a 64-bit processor - now, a 64-bit OS does require a bit more memory and disk space, so you may still want to go with 32-bit [16:44] ActionParsnip: Why do you need to know? :/ Ubuntu is Ubuntu, isn't it? [16:44] ZykoticK9, thanks, but I was trying to figure out from where it was started. I supposed X is launched through /etc/rcS.d/S70x11-common [16:45] SillyKone: what do you use your PC for? [16:45] ok, thanks. i am trying to join a ubuntu client in a windows 2003 server active directory. i did a tutorial i found somewhere , but i am stuck doing the command "sudo kinit Administrador@trabajoasi.edu". it ask for password and i type it, but it gives the error: kinit: KDC reply did not match expectations while getting initial credentials [16:45] anybody knows what this error mean?

[16:50] ubuntu, try changing your mirror perhaps? [16:50] what's "wiggy"? [16:51] ZykoticK9: how can I do that? [16:51] Random832, I don't think it does [16:51] Random832: My computer would work just fine right after each upgrade, but after a week or two (even now), the system is really slow and even crashes sometimes (especially when using Blender). I feel this shouldn't happen with 2G of RAM. [16:52] ubuntu, open Ubuntu Software Center - and somewhere there is a "Software Sources" option - in it there is a drop down to select your mirror [16:52] SillyKone: if you are just doing normal desktop stuff then 32bit is fine, if you are doing lots of audio and video encoding then 64bit will help, or if you intend to upgrade RAM past 3Gb then 64bit will make life easier [16:52] ubuntu, it's labelled "Download from:" [16:52] no update? [16:53] SillyKone: however if you have a hardware device which only has 32bit drivers (like brother or canon) then you will need to use32bit and use PAE kernel if you go past 3Gb RAM [16:53] ZykoticK9: I don't use download software center, I always use apt-get and make changes thru editing "sources.list", can't I do it that way? [16:53] rusty149:: The Key Distribution Center (KDC) options specified by the [kdcdefault] and [realms] in the Kerberos configuration file (kdc.conf) are used if you do not specify a ticket flag on the command line.

Best of luck. [16:54] Okay, I may have a very simple problem but am not sure how to get rid of it (tried google but no success). I've just created an USB boot disk via the 'Startup Disk Creator' (with success) but am now stuck with an "729 MB File: Ubuntu 10.10 amd64" entry in both Disk Utility and Nautilus that I just can't seem to get rid of...(it _really_ annoys me) Any ideas? [16:54] ZykoticK9: whre does the software centre get the addresses from? [16:54] how use brasero? [16:54] joentjuh: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [16:55] naitso: its a cd burning app, its fairly self explanatory when you open the gui [16:55] ActionParsnip: nope, I've had that image for a while now and used it before (burned to cd, not usb) [16:55] ubuntu, sorry don't know - they seem "built-in" [16:55] is any know how to put tomtom gps runnig with wine [16:55] joentjuh: I'd check it just to be sure, if you cant transfer the image you may want to fsck the usb storage too [16:56] robin_hood: : That is /var/krb5/krb5kdc/kdc.conf [16:56] ActionParsnip: lol, the problem is that brasero don't find my device sr0 (my optical device) [16:56] naitso, consider using a different burning software then Brasero - gnomebaker or K3b (if you have KDE libs) are alternatives. [16:56] rusty149, it's empty [16:56] ubuntu: sorry about not answering for so longs, try here: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/report-problem to report it [16:57] NixGeek: thank you [16:57] ubuntu: happry to help as alwasys [16:57] Jolicloud is sick [16:57] naitso: trued any other burning apps?

[16:58] ActionParsnip: There's nothing wrong with the actual image, and the USB disk has been successfully created and is already removed from my system. It's just an annoying entry in Disk Utility telling me it knows of an image (but is not mounted) that points to /dev/loop0 [16:58] ZykoticK9: I finally managed to change the sources and now it allows me to install it.Thank you [16:58] ActionParsnip: k3b after brasero work ok, but i decided to remove all kde software [16:58] ubuntu, glad you fixed it! [16:58] robin_hood: http://linux.die.net/man/5/kdc.conf [16:58] naitso: try gnomebaker or xfburn, i have personally had zero luck with brasero [16:59] joentjuh: could try unetbootin then [16:59] naitso, i think brasero causes a lot of issues in this channel [16:59] ActionParsnip: i don't use gome wm, i use fluxbox with only necessary library [16:59] naitso: xfburn is default burner in LUbuntu so may be WM independant [17:00] ok, thank, i'll try it [17:00] back [17:00] ActionParsnip: does lxde (like xfce) install a lot of gnome dependencies? [17:00] ActionParsnip: Not sure what you mean...?... The USB disk is already created [17:01] KM0201: by default, very few [17:01] i see... [17:01] joentjuh: boot to the USB and check it for consistency [17:02] Disk Mounter v. 2.30.0 in Maverick shows one Partition of my single internal hard disk with 2 Icons: Firstly "(not mounted)" and at the same time secondly as "(mounted)".

[17:05] joentjuh: well yes, if the USB isn't consistent then the data is bad [17:07] hi ppl [17:07] hello [17:08] robin_hood: What is the computer name of the AD server [17:08] ActionParsnip: But again, what does this have to do with anything? Even if the iso were completely corrupt and the usb disk were to crash... I still want the pointless entry gone. The only thing 'Disk Utility' tells me is that it's a unmounted loop device named ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 of type IS09660... Surely there must be some way to (forcebly) remove this. [17:09] rusty149: if you are authenticating against is it could be your DNS iP [17:09] is=it [17:10] rusty149, sorry for not giving a answer to you before. this is damn hard...the computer name of the ad server is windows-2003-1 [17:10] how do I test a usb cam out on my puter?

[17:13] jkg: no default fw in ubuntu but maybe davecot is configured to only listen in localhost. check its configuration [17:13] jkg: #ubuntu-server [17:13] hi [17:13] ActionParsnip: xfburn support DVD-RW ? [17:13] I have "ssl_listen = *:993" in dovecot.conf so I don't /think/ it's that... I'll try there, though, thanks!

IAX-based apps tend to be more firewall friendly than others. Also try EVO, it is a decent free Java system used a lot by academics.

Hence my predicament [17:15] xoc_: look at Ekiga for example, it is fairly popular.

When I change the network connection type on VirtualBox(NAT->BRIDGE), Ubuntu fails to install packages but I can still connect to if by FTP from outside.

I'm trying to install the 10.04 netbook remix; I've setup the USB stick but when I boot to it I get a message "unknown keyword in configuration file" and it hangs.

[17:18] Disk Mounter v. 2.30.0 in Maverick shows one Partition of my single internal hard disk with 2 Icons: Firstly "(not mounted)" and at the same time secondly as "(mounted)". Is this a bug? '~$ mount' shows it as mounted. [17:19] I'm having trouble mounting floppies on this machine; I have an entry in /etc/fstab that seems to be correct, but I can't mount with just sudo mount /dev/fd0 or to manually mount with sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0. Either way, I see the light on the floppy drive light up and it makes a sound, but the disk isn't actually mounted. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something wrong with the drive, or what? [17:19] DIamondcite: Yes I think it can, becase NAT works just fine. [17:19] nsd: you're not specifying where to mount the floppy. [17:20] nsd: mount /device/to/mount /directory/to/mount/it/to [17:20] LimeBurst: VirtualBox NAT mode, has vbox do the connection sharing... I was wondering if your home has an actual system for sharing the internet to multiple computers, you'll need something like that to do a bridged connection. [17:20] Hi, anyone help? [17:20] Looking for a program to connect to the DSL network. [17:21] PesiV: Network Manager should already handle that [17:21] socomm: whoops, I forgot to put that in my message; I have been specifying that. I've tried /mnt and /media/floppy, both to no avail. In the first example, I didn't specify because my /etc/fstab entry says to mount to /media/floppy0 [17:21] PesiV: if you have a router it can usually do that for you [17:22] hi, is there somewhere still a working mirror for intrepid? be.archive doesn't have intrepid anymore [17:22] no modem DSL [17:22] nsd: how do you know it is not mounted? [17:22] Diamondcite: I can use vbox just fine on my other virtual machine like XP with every other network settings. Could it be a problem with package archive certificate stuffs? [17:22] nsd: could it be that your flopppy is mounted but has nothing on it? [17:22] Diamondcite: It's my best guess :( [17:23] hello, what is the best way to create a liveCD (clone my hardrive) ? [17:23] socomm: Doing ls /mnt shows nothing and mount shows that the drive isn't mounted. Also, when I try to unmount it (either with sudo umount /dev/fd0 or sudo umount /mnt) it says that it's not mounted. [17:23] LimeBurst: I'm really not sure then.. all I can suggest is check your default gateway when in bridged mode [17:23] nsd: do df -h [17:23] Diamondcite: OK thanks :) [17:23] hi people.. how are u.. [17:23] nsd: that will tell give you break down of all the mounted devices [17:23] done expertise in ubuntu [17:24] nsd: if it shows /dev/fd0 then chances are that your floppy is mounted [17:24] lol floppy [17:24] socomm: nope, nothing [17:24] nsd: also make sure that the /mnt/floppy directory exists [17:24] nsd: mount will not auto craete directories for you [17:24] socomm: I was trying to mount it just to /mnt, which does exist; I do know to make directories [17:24] ActionParsnip: This is what I'm talking about: http://thuis.joentjuh.nl/dump/screenshot8.png & http://thuis.joentjuh.nl/dump/screenshot9.png [17:24] nsd: k [17:24] socomm: and the floppy module is loaded [17:25] I verified that with lsmod [17:25] what is the best way to create a liveCD (clone my hardrive) ? [17:26] why does linux does not recognize a wifi module when it's turned off with F2 again until reboot? win does not have this issue [17:26] joentjuh: not sure then dude [17:26] nsd: and your floppy is good? [17:26] ActionParsnip: Bummer, thanks anyway [17:26] blackstar: if you want to clone the drive you can use dd, rsync or partimage [17:26] joentjuh: others may be able to help though [17:27] socomm: I have tried several [17:27] blackstar: liveCD != harddrive clone [17:27] nsd: floppy drive is good? [17:27] blackstar: your hard drive would probably not fit on a CD [17:27] magicianlord: remove the module, then re-modprobe it [17:27] magicianlord: windows is a different OS with different support. That's why it acts differently [17:27] Windows is teh sucks. [17:28] socomm: this I cannot verify [17:28] socomm: it is relatively new (about a year) [17:28] scom thanks, but i can use a DVD [17:28] mawst: its a tool for a job, windows does have advatnages over Linux. In short - Every OS sucks [17:28] hi [17:28] ActionParsnip: Such as? [17:28] blackstar: most DVDs are about 4gigs I don't think you can fit your hdd on dvd [17:28] gr0gmint: hi [17:28] scom thanks, but i can use a DVD i want to dod this so i dont have re install all my apps, and also keep my comfiguration [17:29] mawst: if a custom built program relys solely on windows and will not run in wine, Linux would be a terrible choice [17:29] blackstar: do you want to fit your whole hdd or just apps+configs? [17:29] Hi, how can I stop ssh from autostarting everytime from upstart? I tried update-rc.d -f ssh remove but nothing changed [17:29] mawst: running games which refuse to run in wine [17:29] ActionParsnip: when i hit F2 again to reactivate the wifi light, it should automatically turn it on [17:29] edgy: bum may work [17:29] Relying on a program that only runs in windows is human error. [17:29] magicianlord: log a bug [17:29] mawst: keep to the topic of this channel please [17:29] the light comes on, but the driver does not work until reboot [17:29] yes, i'm looking for a tool similar to remasterys [17:29] nsd: play with the mount command, if the floppy drive is new and you've got everything in place [17:29] Choosing your OS based on what games it plays is not very bright either. [17:29] it's not a bug. it's been that way since forever [17:30] * magicianlord cries [17:30] nsd: should be no reason why you shouldnt be able to mount floppy [17:30] mawst: it can and does happen, mac is sometimes a better choice over both. [17:30] Especially given there are several sufficient systems designed exclusivley for games (PS3, 360, Wii etc). [17:30] yes, i'm looking for a tool similar to remasterys, than i can find in the official repo [17:30] hehe [17:30] socomm: well, I guess I'll just keep trying then, thanks for the help anyways [17:30] ActionParsnip, you're preeching to the choir on that one. I'm running OSX now. [17:30] some clown decide not to load floppy module? [17:30] Sscom yes, i'm looking for a tool similar to remasterys, than i can find in the official repo [17:30] mawst: or a device which is essential to the system doing its job (like in manufacturing), windows may be the only OS the drivers work on [17:30] hello everyone [17:30] Is there funky problem with apache ssl in 10.04 LTS [17:31] I want to create custom background image for my conky scipt, where to start from? [17:31] st__: name it to be loaded in /etc/modules [17:31] I need to install NVIDIA drivers from package, anyone got tutorial on how to do this through command line? [17:31] how do I check to make sure my mic works? [17:31] I'm feeling lazy today [17:31] xoc_: there is sound recorder by default in the sound menu [17:31] socomm: just run the installation script [17:31] xoc_, use sound recorder [17:31] I tried that and on't get anything :( [17:31] xoc_, go to the sound properties and switch to the input tab. [17:31] how can I check which dns-nameservers are used by my ubuntu server at the moment? (since it's not resolving addresses) [17:31] socomm: which nvidia chip? [17:31] xoc_: use gnome sound recorder? [17:31] ben_q: cat /etc/resolv.conf [17:32] ActionParsnip: not sure off top of my head [17:32] ben_q: sudo ifconfig [17:32] socomm: lspci | grep -i vga will tell you [17:32] ifconfig doesn't show name servers does it? [17:32] is the creative xifi sound card supported well in linux [17:32] ifconfig -a [17:32] !hcl | magicianlord [17:32] magicianlord: 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 [17:33] mawst: no [17:33] magicianlord: personally I avoid them, i've seen a lot of issues with them [17:33] mawst: it shows your hardware config [17:33] Yeah you need to cat resolv.conf [17:33] Creative PCI cards don't work terribly well anywhere, truth be told [17:34] hey, do you know a tool that creates software usage statistics for me? [17:34] socomm: if it's later than an 8000 it'll run fine with this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-nvidia-260-19-12-drivers-in-ubuntu-10-1010-04-using-ppa.html [17:34] hello [17:34] ActionParsnip: with what [17:34] i wondered if someone could help me. I just installed a new hd and now when I log into ubuntu it nolonger boots into gui but just to the terminal screen for logging in. Even when I unplug the added hd and have it originally it stays the same [17:34] what's the best notification daemon for openbox [17:34] ActionParsnip, can I add nameservers there manually? [17:34] magicianlord: getting them to work, usually you have to use OSS istead of alsa and such [17:35] my applications in ubuntu keep crashing, the logs show a 'seg fault' is likely due to faulty memory? [17:35] ActionParsnip: much ppreciated === bread_ is now known as breadcrumb [17:35] liminal: could be [17:35] ben_q: yes but they will be removed when you next boot as network manager will change the file, you should add nameservers in network manaer / wicd / whatever gui app you use (if you dont use a gui manager you can simply edit the file0 [17:36] ben_q: its fine to edit just to test but it will be changed back once you rebot [17:36] socomm here are my logs from chrome that seems to be crashing alot today [17:36] http://pastebin.com/k6HRYEsF [17:36] ok, so on ubuntu server it will stay? [17:36] how would you run a command as user spamd? spamd is also a program, so it errors if you use: su spamd [17:36] hi all, I have this 3g modem inbuilt, on windows it works fine, on ubuntu it does not register, the reason is it doesn't have reception, maybe the radio is off? How can I switch it on? [17:36] there was a patch created to support this hardware and I am running the kernel 2.6.37 which definitely has it merged [17:36] I can send AT commands to the modem and get responses, but it has no signal [17:36] I can be in the exact same position in windows7 and it will register without a hitch, in ubuntu this doesn't happen [17:36] with AT commands I get the response no carrier [17:36] pr0ph3t: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:36] network manager wizard doesn't work please don't suggest that [17:36] ben_q: i believe so, not sure how network manager managers that stuff in server, I use wicd-curses in server to get a nice curses gui to networking :) [17:36] liminal: when was last time you updated your system? [17:37] liminal: also is it just chrome crashing, or other applications besides chrome [17:37] sorry about flood [17:37] anyone here used CentOS or has to use it? [17:37] other applications are crashing also [17:38] please help [17:38] chrome is not an application, its a data collecting piece of ... [17:38] DarkStar1: I've used just about everything. [17:38] Wolfsherz: kids eat it up though [17:39] DarkStar1, yeah [17:39] I need some help just fixing a minor inconvinience, http://pastebin.com/PgMUeiPw I get this whenever trying to apt-get remove apache2* and any other apt-get process [17:39] pr0ph3t: Wish I could but I haven't had to deal with a 3G modem.. Though I have had problems with wireless in the past on ubuntu.. Last time I just changed the network manager to another [17:39] is there any way to fix this so this doesnt print everytime i use this [17:39] socomm: Maybe you can help [17:39] Wolfsherz: if you use the chromium daily build, it'snot [17:39] DarkStar1: ask [17:40] socomm: I installed tomcat5 using yum but I don't know where it's installed it. Not only that. the locate command doesn't work for some odd reason [17:41] DarkStar1: you need to run updatedb [17:41] chrome, chromium and firefox [17:41] socomm: I afk installed it yesterday before I went to bed [17:41] ActionParsnip: why would i use those... the philosphy behind google should be enough for everyone to just stay away from them where possible. [17:41] DarkStar1: you can alsy try "find /usr/ --iname \*tomcat\*" [17:41] socomm: thanks [17:41] anyone know if Comcast block 443 (SSL) incoming [17:41] Wolfsherz: why, if the product provides what is desired then why not use it... [17:42] ActionParsnip: because there is plenty of alternatives? [17:42] Wolfsherz: imho chromium browses a tonne faster than any firefox build, but I have a lot of extra settings and it flys, and eats less ram which firefox does a LOT here which is why I don't use it. I also use aroroa [17:43] anyone knows, have gcc library math.h ? [17:43] milen8204: try: dpkg -S math.h [17:43] hey, do you know a tool that creates software usage statistics for me? [17:43] ActionParsnip: never made any difference for me to wait for a website for either 1s or 0.1s.... really. [17:43] ActionParsnip, thanks [17:44] Wolfsherz: I have no issue using the browser and frankly dont care if I am transmitting what I look at, I have nothing to hide. I'd happily send them my cookies every hour if they wanted [17:44] socomm: thanks.. that worked [17:44] ActionParsnip: thats just scary... [17:44] Wolfsherz: why, what am I losing exactly? [17:45] Wolfsherz: try installing dnsmasq as well as use a web proxy to reduce the use of the web connection, keeps stuff on the LAN rather than the slower web connection [17:45] DarkStar1: cool, get familiar with the find utility - its very easy to learn and comes in very handy [17:45] ActionParsnip: won't argue with you about which one is faster, better, what else... but google is to be avoided imho [17:45] Wolfsherz: what am I losing by them tracking me? [17:45] Wolfsherz: i still get the sites I view and all is good [17:46] google scares crap out of me from a privacy stand point [17:46] * [17:46] ActionParsnip: have some pretty interesting articles here about why the behaviour of collecting data as done by google and others is bad for you. but they are all in german. [17:46] Wolfsherz: i'd like a read if you can give links please [17:47] anyone in here able to get Flash working in Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and using Firefox 4 beta 8? [17:47] * st__ yawns [17:47] Code_Bleu: grab the 64bit flash ppa and you'll be fine [17:47] Code_Bleu, install it from ubuntu software center [17:47] ActionParsnip: which is where? [17:47] Code_Bleu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/install-64bit-flash-from-a-ppa-or-deb/ [17:48] Code_Bleu: I knew you'd ask, you could have used my direction and found it yourself.... [17:48] socomm: I just tried that find command you posted. gives me a - predicate invalid " --iname "- error [17:48] Bipul`: not there [17:48] ActionParsnip: try this video on youtube, its a documentation about google (german) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwa2rqEhL6E [17:48] Application I have a partition with a working user folder, but a broken system. Can I manually replace all folders except user with a clean working system from my other working system? [17:49] DarkStar1: lol maybe i should go back and re-learn find try -iname instead of --iname [17:49] Code_Bleu just download 10.2 32 bit [17:49] Lantchips: i want 64 [17:49] introjection, with same amount of reason, yes [17:49] is anyone familiar with EFI [17:49] Code_Bleu Think I heard somewhere that the 64 bit version is the same as 32 bit just the name sorta [17:49] socomm: already did after I asked.. I put it down to your typo :) [17:49] Wolfsherz: ah, I thought you meant a page with german text [17:50] Hum...I have a problem with ubuntu, or apt rather, freezing when I install something... Right now I have Apt stuck at unpacking.... (10.10 server, 64bit" [17:50] magicianlord, what's EFI [17:50] Scuttle: what problem [17:50] Scuttle: just doing dpkg-reconfigure -a [17:50] Wolfsherz: frankly I dont care, i use about 6 or 7 sites so the data will be very boring, I have nothing to hide and I don't care [17:50] extended firmware interface [17:50] st__, thank you. [17:50] Scuttle: it will reconfigure your system [17:51] lright. . my second partition has the working system i want to overwrite broken one with. i wonder if just copying will make it bootable though. [17:51] Scuttle, ? [17:51] introjection: maybe u need to configure using cfdisk [17:51] introjection, no, you should skip boot folder [17:51] ActionParsnip: it is my opinion that everyone should do what makes him/her happy. i was just saying something like google is not your friend, everything else you need to make up with yourself =) [17:51] that's actually what needs replacement. boot folder is broken, i have infamous initramfs bug on boot. [17:51] magicianlord: I'm going to take a pot shot and guess you're trying to install ubuntu on a mac? :d [17:52] Bipul`: Extensible Firmware Interface. it's a DRM-inspired attempt to replace the current BIOS and control your computer [17:52] i'm searching cfdisk === AFKLoaf is now known as MeatLoaf [17:52] Wolfsherz: did that ages ago, people wear too many tinfoil hats. Your ISP logs what you lok at anyway [17:52] nearst: why would I want to reconfigure my system? I'm trying to install a perl-module... [17:52] Macs have used EFI since 2006. i'm just reading about it, since intel's new p67 platforms will be forcing it [17:52] magicianlord: Which is why apple use it [17:52] DarkStar1, correct. i had no issue and have enjoyed ubuntu until initramfs bug emerged. [17:52] for over a year it was perfect [17:53] DarkStar1: why what [17:53] ActionParsnip: but they have not the ability to correlate the collected data as google can [17:53] Wolfsherz: they could if they wanted [17:53] "Unpacking libgetopt-argvfile-perl (from .../libgetopt-argvfile-perl_1.11-1_all.deb) ..." [17:53] magicianlord: DRM inspired [17:53] been sitting there for several minutes now [17:53] Scuttle: okay [17:53] oh my bad, wrong username [17:53] > i wondered if someone could help me. I just boot into livecd, took it out (didnt change any settings on my original install) and now when I log into mythbuntu it nolonger boots into gui but just to the terminal screen for logging in. Even when I unplug the added hd and have it originally set up it stays the same and doesnt enter into gui of mythbuntu [17:54] introjection: I tried to install ubuntu a couple of months back on my Macbook and just gave up... Gave me no end of problems [17:54] ActionParsnip: Wolfsherz: I suggest taking that to another channel :-) [17:54] ActionParsnip, unlike ISP, Google needs no court order to disclose such logs [17:54] can't even ctrl+c with apt...it's totally frozen [17:55] st__: still not even remotely concerned or scared [17:55] the hell... not even kill 9... [17:56] Scuttle, alt-ctrl-shift-sysrq-r [17:56] anyone here have to deal with 1&1 or rent virtual servers from them? [17:56] Scuttle: switch to another terminal and use top/htop to see what is the matter [17:56] st__: I managed to kill it...but apt freezes again when I re-run it [17:57] hj [17:57] !ot | DarkStar1 [17:57] DarkStar1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:57] thanks guntbert === lolzer is now known as binil [17:59] hello [17:59] hi how can i copy to a root protected area graphically ... [17:59] is php5-fpm 5.3.5 available for 10.04 yet? [17:59] the cp command is a bit tiring [18:00] 10.04 is now available on dell vostro v130, aluminum-chassis laptops [18:00] my gui no longer opens in ubuntu. when i type startx it says that my NVIDIA kernel fails to initialize. that screen(s) are found, but none have a usable configuration [18:00] quit [18:00] Cru_: were you using nVidia X Server? [18:00] binil: You can open a nautilus window as root by running gksudo nautilus [18:00] Hi all. I'm writing a bourne shell script. I want to prompt the user for input, but I want to provide an initial string that they can just modify. Anyone know how to do this? For example the prompt would say "Artist: Bob Dylan" and they can backspace to remove the Dylan and hit enter [18:01] binil: But don't do it unless you have to because you might accidentally delete files [18:01] k [18:01] Idol_Mind: not sure. I had installed it a long time ago via sh nvidia.run [18:01] thnks [18:01] I have Jaunty Jackalope and skype is being a bitch on here; should I upgrade my entire ubuntu to the latest one? [18:02] Idol_Mind: it worked fine and today just stopped. would love to re-install but not sure how to do it via the terminal (noobish to ubuntu) [18:02] if I overwrite the folder, will its contents go to lost+found? [18:02] xoc_: jaunty is nt supported any more [18:02] jsnikeris: Short answer, there is easy way. [18:02] well shit on me [18:02] edbian: no easy way? [18:02] Cru_: what stopped [18:02] ActionParsnip: what is the best way to upgrade to the latest? [18:03] I have ubuntu and windows 7 on the same HDD partitioned (dual boot) I am running out of space on ubuntu side. Is there a way to expand the partition size without loosing data on either side? [18:03] jsnikeris: You'd have to write a text editor window (like in a graphical text editor program) with a buffer of text in it and everything [18:03] !upgrade | xoc_ [18:03] xoc_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [18:03] st__: no [18:03] jsnikeris: I would just print the string and then ask the user if they wanna change it to something else and have them type in a whole new string [18:03] edbian: OK, thanks [18:03] jsnikeris: no problem [18:03] magicianlord: i no longer boot into the gui. I just end up at terminal when computer turns on. when i try to run startx it says nvidia kernel couldnt initialize b/c a screen was found, but none usable [18:04] Cru_: have you double checked your connections at the gpu and monitor? aside from that i'd look into seeing is the xorg.conf got corrupt [18:04] Disk Mounter v. 2.30.0 in Maverick shows one Partition of my single internal hard disk with 2 Icons: Firstly "(not mounted)" and at the same time secondly as "(mounted)". Is this a bug? '~$ mount' shows it as mounted. [18:04] shiv_: remove old unused kernels as well as openoffice if you only use writer and install abiword, you should also install bleachbit and clean stuff that way (close as many apps as you can) as well as run: sudo apt-get clean [18:05] Idol_Mind: yeah, i turned off and re-seated video card and hdmi cord as well [18:05] bullgard4: when it doubt trust the terminal [18:05] ActionParsnip: so you are saying this PPA will work with the Beta 8 version of Firefox 4? [18:05] Code_Bleu: it'll work with any browser as it uses the standard folders. [18:05] edbian: Right. But this answers my question only partially. [18:05] ActionParsnip, thanks will do that for now [18:05] Code_Bleu: You can also download the deb, extract it and put the plugin in ~/.mozilla/plugins [18:06] hi ppl , can some one help me? problems with a Realtec RTL8191SE wireless in ubuntu 10.10 [18:06] why isn't there a proper working video drive for via chipsets? [18:06] driver [18:06] shiv_: watch your options in bleachbit or it'll clear settings you want to keep, also avoid options which say they will take a long time, run it as user and root [18:06] oh well [18:06] bullgard4: I'm not up to date on the bugs of that program. All I can say is that if I saw an app giving me different information than some cli program. I'd trust the cli program [18:06] magicianlord: there is, its in a default install [18:06] ActionParsnip: Im trying the PPA first, then if that doesnt work, then i will try the .deb file [18:06] i was going to install ubuntu on a via laptop, but the resolution cannot be changed properly [18:06] Cru_, have you installed the nvidia-current driver , if so , at the prompt : nvidia-xconfig...this will rewitr Xorg.conf [18:07] it extends past the screen [18:07] and changes it from 1600x1200 corrupts the display [18:07] Cru_: take a look and see if /etc/X11/xorg.conf is present and readable (cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | more) [18:07] magicianlord: then you may need an xorg.conf file if udev isnt detecting things right [18:07] BluesKaj: when I type that it says "unable to write to directory /etc/X11 [18:08] Cru_: use sudo [18:08] ActionParsnip: I forgot to mention that i have both the original version of FF installed and i have installed the FF4 in my /opt dir...and the PPA didnt work [18:08] wireless not working , it worked after install just fine, but next day.. stop working [18:08] edbian: Thank you for answering.

[18:12] Cru_: try 'sudo nvidia-settings' [18:12] ActionParsnip: i Have that from the original version installed...im assuming [18:12] Cru_: that should rewrite the xorg.conf [18:12] Idol_Mind, BluesKaj: n/m about it not being there...mistyped it. lol. Xorg opens and backup is present [18:12] Code_Bleu: then you will need to remove the packaged version or it may conflict [18:12] ActionParsnip: i wish it was that simple....i promise you i know what im doing and have tried everything [18:12] any good soul out there , some tutorial ... some link... wireless prbs in 10.10 [18:13] !wireless | bable [18:13] bable: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:13] Code_Bleu: also make sure you dont have gnash installed or swfdec-mozilla etc or that will conflict too [18:13] Idol_Mind: sudo nvidia-settings gives me an error saying control display is undefined [18:13] well my cell is forced into going into memory storage mode after like 5 mins ... phone is sony ericsson w200i [18:13] hey guys ... i'm having a really weird packet problem on my Ubuntu Server [18:14] tanka you [18:14] ActionParsnip: I just verfied that gnash and swfdec-mozilla are not installed [18:14] kokozedman: What is it?

[18:14] glaceman: You can safely delete it. Right click anywhere, the menu there pulls from the templates folder [18:14] now, i can't remove squid3 ... nor re-install it [18:14] ActionParsnip: so you are saying that no one can run an earlier version of FF and the FF 4 Beta with Flash working in 64bit Ubuntu 10.10? [18:15] glaceman: templates folder is used when you right click and use 'create new..' [18:15] please somebody help me. in smb.conf, "#" means commentary, but what does mean ";" ? [18:15] oh so i can keep it [18:15] glaceman: Examples can be deleted without issue [18:15] edbian: i get error from apt-get whether i want to install squid3 or remove it .... squid3 was not fully isntalled [18:15] but it's empty [18:15] Code_Bleu normally ff is a 32 bit browser anyhow so a 64 bit won't really do any difference [18:15] Cru_: you could also try sudo nvidia-xconfig [18:15] glaceman: Drop files in it then right click and look at the create new menu item [18:15] glaceman: yes, unless you don't want to be able to make new empty files of various types from right click [18:15] ok i understand now edbian [18:15] is there a way to have the system forget there ever have been a squid3 .. and start really fresh again? [18:15] ok ok, thanks guys [18:15] @ do you know what is different in the network manager this time ... [18:15] glaceman: I believe they are for openoffice.org programs.

[18:16] i need squid3 ... but i can't get it anylong now [18:16] Code_Bleu: i dont know, i dont use crappy firefox no more [18:16] edbian: nope ... let me try that [18:16] Idol_Mind: I did that and it re-wrote, but startx is the same problem. screens found but none have a usable config [18:16] kokozedman: I think sudo apt-get -f install tries to fix all broken packages [18:16] binil: Different to what? [18:16] hello [18:16] Code_Bleu: you could try symlinking the plugin file into the plugins folder for the browser in /opt [18:16] luis001: hi [18:17] Cru_: ok, well can you pastebin your xorg.conf? [18:17] hi all - i have a networking question. i have a 5-port switch and i'm trying to set a static ip on my ubuntu box so i can connect to it from my laptop [18:17] yeah....it may take awhile as i will have to manual type it (unless you know a way i can do it via the terminal) [18:17] aneviltrend: sure.... [18:17] unfortunately my laptop can't ping the ubuntu box [18:17] Idol_Mind: yeah....it may take awhile as i will have to manual type it (unless you know a way i can do it via the terminal) [18:17] please somebody help me. what does ";" in a start of a line on a document? (# is commentary, but ";" ?) [18:17] @ the way it goes about connecting.. i wonder why are all these problems cropping up?? [18:17] aneviltrend: The laptop and the ubuntu box both must have static IP addresses [18:17] aneviltrend: man route [18:17] ActionParsnip: I tried that too...i guess im just going to give up for now, and hopefully in the months to come it will work...so for now if i need flash i will use something else. [18:17] Cru_: I don't unless someone here does [18:17] I have a weird problem with my RaLink 2860 wireless. it randomly stops working and I can't get it to work again unless I reboot. In Windows 7 that doesn't happen. When I try to set it down or up with ifconfig it says "device busy". Here's what happens in syslog: http://pastebin.com/Vs2nQcQA . any ideas? [18:18] edbian: both of them? okay, i'll try that [18:18] guys my system freeze, freshly installed 2 days ago [18:18] i clicked on application on the top, and now it dosen't want to close [18:18] edbian: the laptop is win7, so i'll have to monkey around a bit :) [18:18] Idol_Mind: where do I get the xorg.conf file? [18:18] aneviltrend: yes, the packets know where the server is, they do not know where the laptop is without a valid IP [18:18] Cru_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:18] glaceman: can you restart the X server using ALT+K+Printcreen ? [18:18] edbian: thanks for the help [18:18] hello everyone [18:18] aneviltrend: Just to be clear, what IP does the server have? [18:19] edbian: 192.168.1.101 [18:19] Does anybody know software similar to magic iso for ubuntu. [18:19] ActionParsnip: dosen't do anything [18:19] please somebody help me. what does ";" in a start of a line on a document? (# is commentary, but ";" ?) [18:19] aneviltrend: k, what IP does the laptop have? [18:19] how can I, using metacity, have a window stay always on bottom? [18:19] binil: I cannot tell you beforehand. You better make some test and produce an error message. Report this error message. Otherwose the matter is too complex. [18:19] edbian: it's assigned by dhcp [18:19] binil: I cannot tell you beforehand. You better make some test and produce an error message. Report this error message. Otherwise the matter is too complex. [18:19] aneviltrend: Oh well if you have dhcp than that's fine.

PM me :) [18:20] edbian: sure, i'm a bit of an irc noob so how do i start it? [18:20] glaceman: try holding ALT + PrintScreen and press R then E then I then S then U then B [18:20] Does anybody know software similar to magic iso for ubuntu. [18:20] rohitnikcool: what's it do?

[18:21] Idol_Mind: is there a way to copy the xorg to a flash drive via terminal? [18:21] BluesKaj: Yes, still the terminal [18:21] magicianlord: The answer depends on your knowledge and the degree of reliability you expect. At the end of April it will be better to use without many bugs. [18:21] Hello Everyone!

[18:27] why does ubuntu install kernel headers by default, but fedora doesnt' [18:28] magicianlord: Hmm. I cant recall it doing that. Could be some drivers pulled them in. [18:28] !headers [18:28] To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages [18:28] hm [18:29] would i be better off doing a fresh install of ubuntu instead of trying to downsize and dd copy it to my ssd?

[18:49] horsedasdsd, ctrl + l [18:49] Putr: if 'compiz' is to blame. then the keys should work in the alt-ctrl0f1 through f6 consoles. [18:49] Grujah: ye i considered that. But the thing is that it's not just the keyboard, and it's not all the time. Sometimes mouse cant click anything [18:50] Grujah, thanks [18:50] Putr: also you could try installing a simple window manager like 'icewm' and seeif it works in there. If so. that would point to a gnome/compiz setting/issue. [18:50] anon33_: ubuntu should just pick up android phones after you tell the phone to mount the SD card [18:50] horseatingweeds: thers some setting to enable tht to be always 'the default' [18:50] Cru_, good luck , I hope your resolution settings will hold up. [18:50] Dr_Willis: When I turn the computer on it has an insertion piont thing flashing, then text apperars for literraly less than 1 second [I cant read it one bit] [18:50] then Ubuntu starts up. Can I make Ubuntu launch without that happening? [18:50] how do i edit a file as root? [18:50] how do i become root? [18:51] pankaj: sudo nano [18:51] I need kernel headers for 2.6.34.6-xxxx-grs-ipv6-32 Where will i find these? I am running Server 10.04. Thanks in advance. [18:51] anon33_: on my android phone. i plug in the cable.. phone asks me to enter 'data' mode, i then have to use the status bar thing ont he phone to enable 'mount the sd card' to let the pc actually get to it. [18:51] pankaj: sudo chown -R username:root /location/of/file/ [18:51] PsPhaKeR_: There is a way to do that, iirc. I'm looking it up for you [18:51] thanks :D [18:51] PsPhaKeR_: if its a Pymouth messing up issue. No idea. I disable plymouth. so i only see the text befor gdm loads. no animations. [18:51] pankaj: do not do that [18:52] pankaj: that will break your system [18:52] i am confused [18:52] Dr_Willis & ActionParsnip - it does. I'm just looking for a friendly, GUI version that lets me browse music by arist,album,whatever and drag and drop to an Android device. Something similar to Banshee, but not Banshee (because it's ultra slow) [18:52] !sudo | pankaj [18:52] pankaj: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [18:52] pankaj: you use "sudo" to gain superuser privileges. So to edit a file as root using nano for example, you would do: sudo nano /path/to/file [18:52] anon33_: nautilus does it fine [18:52] i am trying to edit sourcelist file [18:52] but i need to be root to do that [18:52] anon33_: i just use the normal file managers. [18:53] pankaj: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list or if you want gui: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:53] ActionParsnip & Dr_Willis I'd like my music to be organized by artist / album, not just a ton of .mp3 files [18:53] ok let me try [18:53] Dr_Willis: plymouth? [18:53] anon33_: my music is allready organized that way on my hard drive. [18:53] PsPhaKeR_: your last command, you gave. Remove it from your memory, Sudo forever. [18:53] aha so the gk command is for gui [18:53] PsPhaKeR_: grub -> pymouth -> GDM login screen -> Desktop [18:53] !SSD [18:53] shcherbak: I am afraid I don't understand :| [18:53] Dr_Willis: But if I want to exclude certain albums under an artist, then I have to create an artist folder (on the phone) and drag the album in. [18:54] PsPhaKeR_: that chown is not good [18:54] PsPhaKeR_: you shouldn't recursively chown files so that you can edit them [18:54] anon33_: rhymnbox maybe [18:54] anon33_: I just copy ALL my music over. :) [18:54] is there a guide on moving ubuntu to an SSD? [18:54] ActionParsnip: It doesn't pick up my android phone (I assume the plug in doesn't work) [18:54] Idol_Mind: should be the same as any other HD. [18:54] shcherbak: Oh, ok... why is it bad? [18:55] anon33_: then you may have to use the 'slow' app if you want the organisatio [18:55] Idol_Mind: some sdd's can use specific mount options/filesystem for some extra speed/other benifits.. but that area is 'very confuseing' and can depend on the sdd in question [18:55] A word of advice DONT BUY A KODAK ESP-3 Total garbage sent it back twice and got back the same garbage only worked for a short time and the replacements would do evrything but print wont even work in WindowsXP they wont refund lost 100 bucks they just want to replace with another defective printer. [18:55] PsPhaKeR_: in wrong directory ir will damage system, even in ~ it can cause trouble. [18:55] hi. okay before I dive into editing the grub.cfg file to shorten the list on the initial boot options, does anyone have any reason why I should not, please? Thanks. [18:55] spikemikespike: stick with HP or brother. [18:55] spikemikespike: just dont buy kodak, they refuse to support linux [18:55] Condorito: you DONT edit grub.cfg - theres guides out on how to properly 'shorten' the grub menu luistings [18:55] Dr_Willis, what about tmpfs/swap considerations? I don't want to eat up my SSD prematurely [18:55] will do [18:55] gksudo sources.list is this the right command [18:56] Idol_Mind: you could mvoe them to ram i guess. or a cheaper hd. but im not sure its that big an issue. [18:56] when terminal is opened in the particular folder [18:56] pankaj: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:56] Dr_Willis: hp printers are awesome, just make sure to steer FAR AWAY from there computers [18:56] Idol_Mind: lots of talk on that topic ive seen. but very little 'real' data [18:56] but i open terminal at the location [18:56] pankaj: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list sources.list isn't a command which gksdo expects [18:56] pankaj: this will still work [18:56] The Grub 2 editing process must be made human-friendly. [18:56] Dr_Willis: Thanks, good thing I asked... [18:56] It is not friendly at all now. [18:56] so gksudo /sources.list? [18:56] NixGeek: the $299 HP desktop i got on black friday. works :) [18:56] how can I, using metacity, have a window stay always on bottom? [18:56] Dr_Willis, same here, guess it comes down to price and paranoia [18:57] can someone help me configure pulseaudio for surround sound. i don't know if it is pulseaudio though as even speaker-test that bypasses it doesn't work in 5.1 mode [18:57] pankaj: no, the command you've been given 3 times now, not the random stuff you are typing [18:57] pankaj: gksudo gedit source.list if in directory [18:57] !grub [18:57] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [18:57] pankaj: no, gksudo gives the correct way to run graphicl apps with elevated access. sources.list is not a command, its file and gksudo will fail [18:57] Dr_Willis: it works, but was it loaded with crapware? also, hp tends to use lesser components than other companies [18:57] @ [18:57] pankaj: / in start means absolute path [18:57] ActionParsnip: I decided to uninstall everything firefox and flash and start from scratch on FF4 beta 8 and nothing worked [18:57] # [18:58] pankaj: gedit IS a command and can be ran with gksudo, you can use /etc/apt/sources.list as an argumet of gedit to be opened as soon as the app runs :) [18:58] ok i am learning when i am in the directory i don't have to give path [18:58] Also, how to re-load terminal defaults? [18:58] Code_Bleu: could try the mozilla ppa, may be friendlier [18:58] pankaj: yes [18:58] Code_Bleu: download the beta from their site and run it from a location [18:58] pankaj: sure, you don't *have* to but you still can if you want. Your mistake was omitting the command for the editor: gedit [18:58] PsPhaKeR_: I don't know if this will work or not, but edit /etc/default/grub and see if you have this set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [18:58] i got it [18:58] magicianlord: i did [18:58] and [18:58] EnigmaticCoder: What do you mean? [18:58] gksudo gedit sources.list will do it [18:59] it no work??? [18:59] pankaj: yes [18:59] when i am in directory [18:59] ActionParsnip: where is the mozilla PPA? [18:59] let me try it now [18:59] Code_Bleu: websearch and you will find [18:59] PsPhaKeR_: try this command $ gksu gedit /etc/default/grub [18:59] Does anyone here know how to fix Banshee's bugginess on 10.10? [18:59] PsPhaKeR_: Then look for this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [18:59] the file didn't open with gui for me to edit :( [19:00] hi. I'm trying to get a triple monitor (on 2 nvidia graphical cards) setup working, but it doesn't work. I can set two monitors into a twinview configuration, but when I add the third one my windows maximize to both screens instead of just one in kde. when i use xinerama Xorg starts eating CPU (always 30-50%) [19:00] is clonezilla a good choice for backing up windows? I would use dd, but I don't need to maintain the partition size.. [19:00] EnigmaticCoder: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [19:00] PsPhaKeR_: Hmm, I don't know how to get it more quiet than that [19:00] Idol_Mind: i'd ask in ##windows [19:00] i can't edit the file sources.list [19:00] EnigmaticCoder: How can I reset the terminal to its default settings? [19:01] it does not open with the gksudo gedit sources.list command [19:01] what is wrong [19:01] PsPhaKeR_: Not sure [19:01] ActionParsnip, will do [19:01] pankaj: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [19:01] pankaj: ^^^ [19:01] pankaj: try: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [19:01] ok i will try that shcherbak [19:01] shcherbak: How can I reset the terminal to its defaults? [19:02] PsPhaKeR_: you mean gnome-terminal? locale? [19:02] shcherbak: yes [19:02] shcherbak: gnome [19:02] pankaj@ubuntu:/etc/apt$ sudo sources.list [19:02] sudo: sources.list: command not found [19:02] pankaj@ubuntu:/etc/apt$ sudo [19:02] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [19:02] pankaj@ubuntu:/etc/apt$ gksudo sources.list [19:02] pankaj@ubuntu:/etc/apt$ gksudo gedit sources.list [19:02] pankaj: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:02] pankaj@ubuntu:/etc/apt$ gksudo gedit/etc/apt/sources.list [19:03] i will ignore the flood bot [19:03] lol [19:03] whats the diff between sudo an gksudo? [19:03] why can't i open the file for edition [19:03] spikemikespike: sudo is for command line programs, gksu for graphica; [19:03] what is the apt$ [19:03] graphical* [19:04] ahhhhhh [19:04] PsPhaKeR_: you have profiles in gnome-terminal, have you edited Default? [19:04] shcherbak: nvm :) [19:04] Please help me [19:04] my package managers are dysfunctional now [19:05] i know i have to edit that file sources.list [19:05] to solve the problem but i can't [19:05] pankaj: if you ignore the flood bot you will be kicked from the room [19:05] pankaj: Have you tried editing the sources.list from the update manager? [19:05] shcherbak: Actually not nvm I did edit tat one :( [19:05] the update manager crashes [19:05] v0lksman: you here? [19:05] it doesn't even start properly [19:05] pankaj: do you use KDE or gnome? [19:06] i am using xfce ubuntu [19:06] pankaj, close your package manager [19:06] pankaj: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list is this command works? [19:06] pankaj, alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ..delete the repos or comment it with a # [19:06] pankaj: ok try: gksudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list [19:06] What is the minimal space ubuntu 10.10 needs to work? [19:06] pankaj: its not working because xubuntu uses mousepad, not gedit [19:06] Cand I switch over to KDE in 9.10? [19:06] tarelerulz: 100 mb? 150 mb? [19:06] tarelerulz: do you want a desktop OS, if so, which do you want to use? [19:07] shcherbak: So what command would restore defaults? [19:07] spikemikespike: sure just install kubuntu-desktop or kde-core for a slimmer solution [19:07] PsPhaKeR_: no idea, one moment... [19:07] Desktop os , I'm using it for surfing the web and watching movies [19:07] tarelerulz: lubuntu needs just shy of 2Gb [19:08] !requirements | tarelerulz [19:08] tarelerulz: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [19:08] ok guys i solved the problem without the terminal [19:08] ActionParsnip: is it benifitial? [19:08] how to check what version i have installed? === textualTESTing is now known as alexlea [19:08] i just right clicked on the exclaimation mark in the task bar [19:08] * BluesKaj assumes ppl who ask for help here are running gnome or kde ...i should have asked :) [19:08] sorry cant spell [19:08] and went into preferences from there i could delete the wrong software sources [19:08] i run gnome and openbox [19:08] thank you \m/ [19:08] spikemikespike: installing only kde-core uses less space as kubuntu-desktop will install a Qt based CD burner and Qt based apps of which you alreay have apps for [19:08] My keyboard suddenly started acting funny. I lost my mapping of control to the alt key and suddenly control+t no longer opened an new tab in firefox and alt+tab no longer switches between windows [19:09] hey guys in this link, can anyone please tell me what's my ubuntu version http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu [19:09] I've gone to system -> preferences -> keyboard and cleaned out all my customisations [19:09] is there a list of other window managers available for ubuntu rather than just xfce, gnome, or kde ? [19:09] BluesKaj: its good to ask dude [19:09] KDE apps are better [19:09] butI still have the problem with control+t and alt+tab [19:09] rtdos: openbox is the one for you [19:09] ActionParsnip, yup, so true [19:09] pankaj: i suggest you run: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mousepad /usr/bin/gedit [19:09] does lubuntu use openbox, magicianlord? === michel is now known as glaceman [19:09] Action i got my problem solved [19:10] ActionParsnip: It appears that adding the mozilla PPA , it sees the plugins correctly when i do "about:plugins" nothing was listed before, now everything including flash is. Im also running the original version of FF and FF4 beta 9pre.....it must have been fixed with 9pre, cause FF 4 beta 8 didnt work. [19:10] rtdos: it uses openbox as the WM and LXDE as the DE [19:10] PsPhaKeR_: not tested, make back ups! -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/14487/how-to-reset-the-terminal-properties-and-preferences [19:10] I also noticed that in zev control+t is ascting different than other combinations. I get "KeymapNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0" and then a bunch of zeros [19:10] I noticed that windows 7 and Ubuntu have almost identical system requirements. Why is this? [19:10] Code_Bleu: nice, watch the updates as it will upgrade 3.6 to namaroka [19:10] Action: What apps? [19:10] Action i got my problem solved i just had to right click on the exclaimation mark and select preferences [19:10] thank you [19:10] spikemikespike: all the stuff which is default in KUbuntu [19:11] ActionParsnip: k, thanks [19:11] AHHhh [19:11] i deleted the rougue repositories now the package managers are running fine :) [19:11] edbian: production standarts? [19:11] pankaj: make the symlink, it'll make support a lot easier [19:11] shcherbak: what does that mean? [19:11] symlink? [19:11] spikemikespike: exactly, so you'll have 3 text editors and 2 file managers [19:11] pankaj: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mousepad /usr/bin/gedit [19:11] is there a lightweight terminal web browser that's as functional and responsive as links, but with flash and other bloat support? [19:11] Hey im trying to do a wlist but am getting "network is down" on my wlan0 [19:12] how can I, using metacity, have a window stay always on bottom? [19:12] what does the symlink do [19:12] edbian: That sowfware is written for more-less contemporaty hardware [19:12] anyone know how to bring wlan0 up, i've tried ifconfig wlan0 [19:12] ok then [19:12] ifconfig wlan0 up i meant [19:12] NixGeek: try devilspie [19:12] pankaj: most assume gnome in here which ships with gedit, xubuntu uses mousepad which is waaaay lighter so if you run that command, you will be able to use the gedit command and it will make mousepad run :) [19:12] ok, here are the WM i've found: xfce4, gnome, kde, openbox, fluxbox, icewm - did i miss any ? [19:12] what about opengem? [19:12] rtdos: xfce4 isnt a WM, nor is gnome or kde [19:12] socomm, iwconfig [19:13] XFCE is not worth it compared to GNOME. Use Openbox if you want a light and sleek window manager. [19:13] rtdos: enlightenment, awesome, musca, just a lot [19:13] rtdos: kde is a desktop and uses KWIN as its WM [19:13] BluesKaj: any particular flags? i've tried iwconfig wlan0 up [19:13] shcherbak: Fedora's system requirements are substantially lower than Ubuntu's. How do two graphical gnome distros vary so vastly in system requirements? [19:13] so that is why the gedit didn't work for me? [19:13] control+tab and control+shift+tab are also suddenly not working... [19:13] I've looked at it, but how would I set it up to keep tilda (a terminal) on bottom? I have the terminal clear and on my desktop, overlayed === |NX|1 is now known as |NX| [19:13] because i have mousepad and not gnome [19:13] rtdos: (K) (D)esktop (E)nvironment 0 massive clue [19:14] am i talking sense? [19:14] alright, what other desktops are there, ActionParsnip? [19:14] hi evrybody! [19:14] Installing ubuntu! :D [19:14] socomm, sudo dhclient wlan0 [19:14] mouch: Hello [19:14] pankaj: yes, you dont have it installed, but the symlink will make mousepad launch when you run gedit [19:14] i got it [19:14] BluesKaj: ..... wlan0 is not up ..... [19:14] my question is how do I bring up WLAN0 [19:14] WiFi? [19:15] socomm: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [19:15] socomm: iwconfig wlan0 up [19:15] edbian: Hard for me to argue, pretty much run Ubuntu on everything from 600 mH to i5, strongest compromise was to use Xfce on pentium III. [19:15] i need a help, i want to write a program with C. I have installed build-essential. [19:15] is there any app to easy add/delete DNS zones on ubuntu? [19:15] socomm: dhcp wlan0 [19:15] how to know my version of ubuntu please, hardy,intrepid etc.. ?

[19:19] IsmAvatar: plymouth [19:19] thank you [19:19] glaceman: lsb_release -c will tell you the code name [19:20] and how do I get Plymouth working with my GeForce 9200? It's reverted to textual rather than graphical [19:20] thanks ActionParsnip [19:20] Actionparsnip: Its working !!! thank you [19:20] IsmAvatar: what is your issue [19:21] pankaj: thats the symlink working [19:21] magicianlord: the boot screen is displaying as text, rather than the Ubuntu image. [19:21] IsmAvatar: this is normal. it happens when you install the nvidia drivers. [19:21] bye [19:21] nixgeek, how'd it go on the 133? [19:22] linux is not that difficult after all i am learning its fun [19:22] magicianlord: is there a way to switch to the graphical one? [19:23] it is fun for the whole family [19:23] where can i get a good soft copy of d a book to learn and understand linux commands [19:23] rtdos: not well.... I moved the harddrive to another old computer with a 1.2GHZ processor (i think) and installed xubunut after I found a stick of 512MB ram laying around [19:23] anyone know how to install ibm jdk 6 or jrockit r28.1 on meerkat? === Digistras__ is now known as Digistras [19:23] IsmAvatar: yes, but if you switch the graphical logo will be at an ugly, lower resolution, because the nvidia drivers cannot accomodoate kernel-setting mode. i suggest you either keep the text one, or disable the splash altogether. i keep the text [19:24] rtdos: on the 133GHZ you could do text processing and a few other things, but videos or anything like that was impossible. I used XFCE [19:24] !man | pankaj [19:24] pankaj: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [19:24] ok thanks :) [19:24] hello [19:24] pankaj: use the manual "man PROGRAM_NAME" or the arch wiki [19:24] !manual | pankaj [19:24] pankaj: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[19:26] magicianlord: for a simple boot screen that's only showing a simple logo and a couple dots, I think low resolution would be more than sufficient. [19:26] anon33_: Banshee's bugginess is a very nubelous concept [19:26] Namely, whenever I insert the USB plug of the webcam logitech c200, the wlan goes off [19:26] !details | anon33_ [19:26] anon33_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:26] and ifconfig can't bring the interface back up [19:26] IsmAvatar: it looks really ugly though. look up a guide on how to switch the theme from ubuntu-text to ubuntu-logo (you can see it in synaptic) [19:26] when checking with rfkill list, I can see that wlan is hard locked, like with a hardware switch... [19:27] is there a channel for windows mobile devices guys ? === Freejack is now known as Guest78370 === nathan is now known as Guest22532 [19:27] nital: you press a button when you plug the camera? :) [19:27] however, plugging off the webcam doesn't help the matter, you have to reboot the system with webcam unplugged to get the wlan working again... [19:28] I thought it was some kind of kernel issue, so I updated to 10.10 [19:28] nital: Next time it happens look at the output of dmesg [19:28] things went better a bit - the wlan seemed to turn off after a random interval of time after plugging the webcam in... [19:28] not immediately [19:29] magicianlord: thanks. I'll be the judge of how ugly it is, but it's probably less ugly than the textual one [19:29] edbian: good idea - since it's totally reproducible, I'm off to to that now [19:29] *to do [19:29] nixgeek, in your opinion, is that the best one to install on a small machine?

There are some known issues witn windows 7 [19:34] KDE is ftw [19:35] rtdos: happy to help, hope it helps [19:35] Dr_Willis: i am using windows 7, do you recommend and pages that I can look at for solutions to these issues? [19:35] alex-hp: short 'guide' install samba, and smbfs, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to set a workgroup, perhaps enable teh Home shares. - give users samba password via 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' make some shares (right click on folder -> shareing) [19:35] KDE is big and doesn't work well on slower systems. I would know.. since I'm using it ^_^ [19:35] xfce: less featues, same bloat [19:35] alex-hp: for win7 the 'main' issue is some window-live-login assistant program that can cause major issues. I had to uninstall that for linux to get to the win7 shares [19:35] I would like to know something ? Is there anyone here that had Gastric Bypas surgery? I want to know if ift is a good idea or not?

I think there is the #mythbuntu channel also. [19:58] what were you talking about xiven? [19:58] kcorcoran_: i was thinking some pull down menu was defaulting to the wrong 'device' last i used it. (2 yr ago) [19:58] Dr_Willis: from what i have been told mythbuntu is easier to setup than mythtv [19:58] kristofferlc, yeah, the danish mirror is actually pretty horrible. I've completely stopped using because i was having the same issues as you - missing packages [19:59] i can only recommend you to use the main server [19:59] Dr_Willis: i am on the mythbuntu channel, but no help there so far...been trying for a few days [19:59] how do i get to the main server then? [19:59] doalittledance, how much RAM is installed , because if it's less then 4G then a 32bit alternate install might work [19:59] kcorcoran_: mythtv config 'program' is the same - I just recall the setup wizard - i had to use some pull down menu to select my actual card. it waswent smart enough to select the proper card. [19:59] kristofferlc, i believe you can set it up in synaptics [19:59] do i first remove ubuntu or do i first install xubuntu??? [19:59] kristofferlc, under settings -> repositories if im not mistaken [19:59] ichat: what are you trying to acomplish exactly? [19:59] thanks, will try, just a sec [20:00] np, good luck [20:00] BluesKaj: that would be ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386 ? [20:00] gome brakes my system to a constand 100% cpu load. and i wanted to see if xubuntu could fix [20:00] yes [20:00] because its lighter [20:00] BluesKaj: will try that, thank you. [20:00] Dr_Willis: that's the issue i am having...i can select the card, however when i perform a channel scan; no channels found [20:00] doalittledance, yes [20:01] ichat: install xubuntu-desktop package, select xfce at the login screen. [20:01] doalittledance, , I hope it works [20:01] ichat: no need to 'remove' anything.. I would guess that its some specific app thats causing high load.. not 'gnome' in general. [20:01] ichat: you could determine whats usong the cpu so much and try to 'fix' gnome. [20:01] ichat: if you want the least resource hog. - that would be 'lubuntu' [20:02] anybody tried lubuntu yet?

[20:09] to a monitor BluesKaj [20:11] Hi all! I got a question about network cards in general with ubuntu. I bought two 10/100/1000 NIC's. Currently accourding to network manager, I've got a connection speed of 100 Mbps. How can I increase this to the 1000 Mbps mode? [20:11] no_dvi_output, does the analog out to the monitor work ? [20:11] How do I use the md5sum command? I read the man page but I don't get it. I always get the error "file not found". [20:11] it always used to work, I think even back in the 7.xy days, but now just to have a cleanly installed system I installed 10.10 from scratch, as said no DVI output, just VGA. Then I installed 10.04 from scratch and DVI output works out of the box, eventually I did the upgrade to 10.10 and using the DVI interface was not possible anymore [20:12] yes, BluesKaj, I am using the VGA connector now [20:12] Nanoha, what's the other end of the cable connected to? [20:13] rewt: my dsl modem [20:13] Nanoha, does that have 10/100 or 10/100/1000? [20:13] Nanoha: that depends not only on your card speed but also in the other's end speed aswell [20:13] is is possible to remote into a ubuntu workstation from another workstation? like terminal services? [20:13] no_dvi_output, is there an intel giu control ? [20:14] rewt: I'm not sure. Is there a way i can tell? [20:14] how do you mean BluesKaj? a control tool for the graphics card? [20:14] kcorcoran_, yes it's possible [20:14] Nanoha, it might be in the manual, but my guess is it's only 10/100 [20:14] no_dvi_output, yes [20:14] rewt: hmmm, okay. I'll see if I can look it up. Might have to google it then. [20:14] kcorcoran_, ssh from CLI [20:14] Thanks! [20:15] not that I know of BluesKaj [20:15] Nanoha, how fast is your dsl?

[20:21] you need to fetch it from teamviewer.com itself [20:21] Nanoha: TCP optimizer == snake oil ? [20:21] kcorcoran_, it's better for you to google it [20:21] hey any ideas why the 10.10 install disk fails to load, it shows the 4 dots loading screen but then crashes with most of the screen white and a bar at the top and bottom with blue/green stripes?

The first of these is the number of currently executing kernel scheduling [20:22] Any idea? [20:23] entities (processes, threads); this will be less than or equal to the number of CPUs. [20:23] is there any way to make linux hold down a key, say alt, for as long as I want?

[21:43] ActionParsnip: i belive so [21:44] ron_: I'd check [21:44] boatingbum23, version of ubuntu? [21:44] ActionParsnip: By simply clicking twice on the file. [21:44] I have ubuntu 10.10. When I press alt+f2 there is main terminal open. Start program bar starts only when session restarted. How can I fix it? [21:44] can someone PM if they know of a chan that could help me with criminal background checks? i think the guy stalking my girlfriend has a history, and I want to know the details [21:44] sam-_-: 10.10 [21:44] danielvilhas: what filename?

[21:45] boatingbum23, u have to use the opensource drivers [21:45] danielvilhas: you don't need that, youo should use the hardware manager in the system menu [21:45] boatingbum23, they should work out of the box [21:45] sam-_-: how do i install those? [21:45] sam-_-: they do, but i am limited to 60fps [21:45] sam-_-: and minecraft is ultra laggy [21:46] boatingbum23, that can be if your monitor refreshrate is 60hz [21:46] danielvilhas: if your chip is quite recent you can use this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-nvidia-260-19-12-drivers-in-ubuntu-10-1010-04-using-ppa.html [21:46] hi, I have a quick question. I'm looking to install gfortran-4.6 on ubuntu maverick, but maverick only has -4.5 packaged. does anyone know where I could find gfortran-4.6 packages for maverick?

[21:46] hello, I have ubuntu 10.10 and I have issues with multiple displays and mouse focus? hma :) [21:46] boatingbum23, what does this command say: glxinfo |grep -i direct [21:46] !details | rienn [21:46] rienn: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

SYSTEM menu [21:47] LCD TV hooked to laptop, ATI xpress 200M, cannot click on buttons, window resize/close etc... :( [21:48] boatingbum23, hmm. is minecraft a native application or do you run it via wine or sth.? [21:48] danielvilhas: or you can run the commands in the link I gave [21:48] sam-_-: its a native application that runs in the java-jre [21:48] LOL [21:48] rienn: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace === fifi is now known as Guest31119 [21:49] pfarrell, try Debian sid === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [21:50] pfarrell: arch?

[21:50] boatingbum23, could either be that minecraft needs a better graphics card or the drivers for your card aren't mature enough yet. [21:50] boatingbum23, did you try it in windows? [21:50] stealthc: I think Ubuntu obeys Windows autorun.inf files [21:51] ummm ok but what do I have to put in there that would be different than a windows autorun [21:51] obviously I can't auto run an exe file...

It's really boring. Is there a way to improve that ?

To my astonishment, ubuntu boots so fast now. Can anyone explain why (what has been changed in the system)? [22:00] blue112: try: sudo -i; echo "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf; exit then reboot [22:01] ActionParsnip, sounds nice, I test it. [22:01] sherry_zhang, switched to upstart [22:01] sherry_zhang: one of the main features the developers wanted in 10.04 was an extremely fast boot. [22:01] sherry_zhang, http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [22:01] sam-_-: last time I used ubuntu, it was based on upstart already... [22:02] blue112: if it's no good, run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and change dell-m6 to dell-inspiron reboot to test [22:02] ActionParsnip, ok :p [22:02] sherry_zhang, well then it improved [22:02] NixGeek: then what had been done in 10.04? are there any technical documents? [22:02] the only fix seems to be logout/in as suggested on the forums :| [22:03] sherry_zhang, i guess there are a lot of little things that were changed as well [22:03] in my terminal some folders are written with blue text and black background while others are written in blue text and green background. What is the difference between these folders? [22:03] sam-_-: no.. 6.06 and 6.10 took almost the same time to boot on my machine... [22:03] when i type ls [22:03] i just installed ubuntu 10.10 days ago, let's say a newer version arise, do i have to format and reinstall the new version or is there a way to upgrade ? [22:03] in my terminal, when i type ls, some folders are written with blue text and black background while others are written in blue text and green background. What is the difference between these folders? [22:03] sam-_-: and actually 6.10 is pretty buggy ... crashes all the time [22:04] glaceman, you can upgrade via do-release-upgrade [22:04] Diverdude: dircolors -p [22:04] hey guys... is it posible to make a path alias: FROM ssh://domain.tld:/usr/local/www/someproject TO ssh://subdomain.domain.tld/someproject (i just whant to make git repos a little less write intensive to access) [22:04] thanks sam-_- [22:04] Diverdude: permissions, use ls -la to see permissions on all files for current directory [22:04] just good to know [22:04] glaceman: sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [22:04] #ubuntu-off [22:05] txdv, i think he meant like from maverick to natty [22:05] whoops [22:05] thanks txdv [22:05] i noted this one [22:05] sherry_zhang: I can't seem to find any, though I found a report of a developer using a ssd booting in 3.6 seconds [22:06] what I need to show X apps via ssh? [22:06] glaceman: you want to test out the new beta or smth? [22:06] NixGeek: thanks all the same. [22:06] st__: use the -X flag when you connect [22:06] txdv: i just installed 10.10 and was wondering what to do if a new version comes [22:06] ActionParsnip, mhh, doesn't seem to be better. The problem is, the sound output is set either to integrated speakers, or to headset, if one is pluged in the jack. That is normal, but the problem is, that isn't changing when I plug in/out a headset : The sound will either stop output (if I plug out), or output in the speaker (if I plug in) : I need to restart alsa and modprobe many time to fix it. Any though ? [22:07] sherry_zhang: sorry I couldn't help more, mabey you can find sometihng more [22:07] glaceman just update in term and you will be at the newest one [22:07] glaceman, upgrade obviously, 10.10 was a disaster [22:07] st__ is t here something newer than 10.10 out already? [22:07] txdv: im a microsoft system engineer, but i got sick of windows seriously, so i wannted to make the switch for linux wish i did a couple of days ago, and im trying to learn as it goes [22:07] blue112_: not sure, if you websearch your make / model with reards to Ubuntu or Linux, then you may find things to add to alsa-base.conf [22:08] meekwarrior: natty is in Alpha, natty is 11.04 [22:08] whattt!!1 i need an invite to #c? [22:08] ActionParsnip can i update to alpha thru 10.10 or do i need to reinstall [22:09] glaceman: go to system >administation >update manager and it should have it there if there is an update. ubuntu releases on a 6 moth cycle, so it might be a bit till the next one. maverik merrcat was just released a month or so ago [22:09] i wanna know something who is that maverick ? [22:09] it was released on 10.10 [22:10] is there any problem if enter localhost's static ip (192.168....) as a LDAP server to use, while configuring it? [22:10] glaceman, maverick is 10.10 [22:10] can anyone point me to a channel that someone can help me with ansi C [22:10] glaceman: what have you used so far to develop on those nasty windows machines?

[22:11] Its crystal clear in windows [22:11] Iamred: Are asking about Wubi? [22:12] same hardware [22:12] Yes. [22:12] I just installed ubuntu 10.10, and accidentally removed one of the panels. Now the sound control icon is gone as well as rhythmbox's icon, but msn and keyboard wifi and date/time are still there [22:12] meekwarrior, you will need to register though. but no invite necessary [22:12] txdv: i work as an IT manager, and also as a security consultant [22:12] yes thank you sam [22:12] !panelreset | david234 [22:12] david234: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [22:13] rusty149, why is that? [22:13] Awesome [22:13] but i know @#$ about linux lolll, that's why im interested and so far, im not dissapointed at all from linux systems, it's just take time to get used to it [22:13] meekwarrior: you can upgrade to natty with: sudo update-manager -d support and discussion is in #ubuntu+1 [22:13] I wish all problems were as easy to solve :) [22:13] I see, but what do you DO as an IT manager and as a security consultant [22:14] glaceman: you'lllearn with time, just like you did with windows [22:14] david234: most are [22:14] thumbs up ActionParsnip [22:14] Iamred: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [22:14] Ok, I have a regression.

[22:15] david234: log a bug [22:16] i have a question please, anyone a bit expert [22:16] txdv: I think he came here to talk about Ubuntu not his job for windows [22:16] i have a sound card working properly, but i just have the sound via headphones, (audio jack) why ?

Keyboard input was not accepted, however ssh was up and running. After the 3 minutes, it proceeded to boot into X. the dmesg lines around the hang were about no ipv6 routers present (before), then "audit_printk_skb: 12 [22:18] callbacks suppressed" (after). Google doesn't show much immediately useful, so I came here to ask if anyone else had had problems recently with long boot times. === phox is now known as Guest23260 [22:19] Another odd thing... dmesg shows my partitions being re-mounted both before and after the long hang (but no activity in between that would indicate them being unmounted to warrant a remount) [22:19] Polydwarf: can you boot to the older kernel? [22:20] glaceman: Go to System > Administration > Additional Drivers are the any Realtek drivers available?

I'm dragging and dropping (and a complete newbie :-} [23:02] k4r1m: running ubuntu directly in the vm is exactly as runnig it in wubi with windows in an vm. only it needs all the extras space windows uses and it is more fragile [23:02] ActionParsnip: with my current usage I usually get 200mb free... [23:02] k4r1m: firefox loves ram too [23:02] glaceman: The 'D:' drive is not in that file so will not be automounted [23:02] k4r1m: so no upsides and all the dwonsides you can think of [23:02] rusty149: what to do ? [23:02] ActionParsnip: don't use firefox, I use chrome [23:03] k4r1m: i use chromium :) [23:03] erUSUL: err thats not what I meant... I meant to run windows in a vm so that why I have access to the wubi installer [23:03] glaceman: install pysdm then you can use it to edit that file [23:03] ActionParsnip: chromium == chrome. [23:03] no it isn't [23:03] k4r1m: wubi will install ubuntu in the vm if you run it like this [23:03] k4r1m: not exactly [23:03] Silent93: done [23:03] anyone? [23:04] k4r1m: half, chromium is the open source version which helps build chrome [23:04] glaceman: now run it [23:04] k4r1m: I get daily builds of the browser [23:04] k4r1m: you are a little confused as to how wubi works [23:04] Silent93: done [23:04] erUSUL: no not really I thought I would get way by using a vm but I just remember how a vm really works lol [23:04] i can't get my windows 7 machine to connect to smb share on ubuntu.

Now, I can see the other XDMCP enabled hosts, but when trying to connect screen stays black [23:11] Jax123: why not use a PPA? [23:11] Sterist: If manually mounting works then it should be to do with the mount options. If not then it could be support(ulikely) or something else I haven;t thought yet [23:11] which one ? [23:12] most of them are down [23:12] ActionParsnip: get over your self thats not that big of a difference... they run pretty much almost the same shit [23:12] all i need is glibc > 2.8 [23:12] rusty149 i did the mkdir command and then the mount command as directed and got same error :( [23:12] k4r1m, please avoid such language.

[23:42] ActionParsnip, erUSUL: Is there any downside to mounting shares automatically (using /etc/fstab) with computers that are on 24/7? [23:42] hello? [23:42] ...and having them always mounted?

Is it possible to roll back the operation system? I installed a lot of stuff I do not need any more and it would take me a lot of time to search and delete it. Can I send my Ubuntu back to the roots? [23:45] bencahill, sort of..... i'm doing android development on ubuntu and thought i'd pop in to the android-dev channel here on freenode but it seems i cannot speak in that channel. would you happen to know why? [23:45] stuntman_mike: i'd ask in #freenode [23:45] stuntman_mike: maybe you have to be registered? [23:46] ciao [23:46] list [23:46] !it | pippo [23:46] pippo: 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) [23:46] Frenk: Have you considered a fresh install [23:46] ActionParsnip, i'll check there [23:46] exportfs: /home/username/folder does not support NFS export in ubuntu 10.10, google turns up nothing, what the deal? [23:46] Frenk: Doesn;t get much more 'back to the roots' than that [23:46] erUSUL, i regged this nick a few minutes ago. should be ok? haven't confirmed it via the email yet tho [23:47] rusty149: Dual-boot ... So I need to restore the MBR from windows then delete ubuntus partition and then oh hell i can reinstall ubuntu ... [23:47] stuntman_mike: have you identified to services? [23:47] !register > stuntman_mike [23:47] stuntman_mike, please see my private message [23:48] hi [23:48] !register [23:48] 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 [23:48] !register [23:49] Frenk: Shouldn't have to touch your windows partition. Just boot up an Ubuntu CD/USB and install on current Ubuntu partition [23:50] is there any big risk to extending my extended partition to 150gb? [23:50] actually, to adding 150gb onto my extended partition to make it about 211GB? [23:51] ah, it was the last step that was missing..... to verify the nick with the info in the email. alright, now i can talk :) thanks! [23:51] NixGeek: Greatest is probably doing it wrong. It should be fine. You are recommended to make backups before modifying partitions though [23:53] how do i run a sudo command via a script? security isnt an issue [23:53] Cru_: run the script as sudo [23:53] rusty149: all that's on it is my home partition, and i'll make a complete backup using rsync to another partition before I modiy it. I've resized ubuntu partitions before and kept ubuntu wokring, but never an extended partition, so I just needed to know wether there was any extra risk. Thank you [23:54] rusty149: I have a script in start up that I made awhile ago and is running, i'd just like to add a line to run a "sudo mount" command for extra hard drive. how would i do that/ [23:55] Cru_: Well have you considered using fstab? [23:55] never have used it. im a noobish to ubuntu. what/where is fstab [23:56] Hi, I am on 32 bit ubuntu 10.10 fresh install. i replaced my .mozilla with my old .mozilla and then installed flashplugin-installer. however flash does not work. help please? [23:56] Cru_: /etc/fstab mounts partitions on startup. including / , other internal drives and network shares (if any) [23:56] zeno: restart firefox¿ [23:56] Cru_: It is a text file and you can add extra lines to it, following the syntax [23:57] hey can anyone help me with botnets? [23:57] xangua: i did, and doesnt work in other browsers either [23:58] zeno: does it work with a fresh fx profile¿¿ [23:58] let me check [23:58] rusty149: I have the fstab opened but not sure what to type/make it go. would i simply add a line "sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt" ? [23:58] Cru_: no [23:59] Do you know the UUID of the device? [23:59] Cru_: Do you know the UUID of the device? [23:59] why Brasero and k3b do not writing a cd image to cd? [23:59] nope. === star is now known as Guest21749 [23:59] xangua: yes. however i need my bookmarks etc [23:59] write*
