[00:46] wthpr0: well i havent done that yet but when i fail to install, i end up in what try shud do, i end up in the Live mode where i m right now [00:46] Dementio: Asking "any sound gurus here?" is no less spam, but much less likely to get a usefull response. Just repeat your question (not too frequently of course). [00:46] eleph: I am looking at it to see if I can help [00:46] gmg: suppose someone knows something about bluetooth, what would you ask then? [00:47] zulax: yes [00:47] Jordan_U: do you think, i m not able to install coz there are already 4 partitions? [00:47] ok thanks [00:47] jrib: can you verify that you don't have landscape installed? [00:47] saganbyte: Yes. [00:47] I have the /tools/ dir in my path [00:47] but even ddms will not run [00:47] Jordan_U: lol, i know, asked again [00:47] I would like to receive calls playing via my computer speakers [00:47] wthpr0, nice, for this do i edit the /etc/hosts file on 1.5 or i do everything in the example.com.db file in my zones [00:47] jobu1342: aptitude search landscape-common returns: p landscape-common - The Landscape administration system clie [00:47] Jordan_U: is there something i can do in order to install ubuntu separately, i really dont want it to be inside windows [00:47] saganbyte: don't you get any error ? [00:47] Getting error - "E: The package dcp1000lpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." Can anyone help with this? [00:48] wthpr0: i just dont get the option to 'install beside existing os' [00:48] jobu1342: my guess from reading the man page is that this works together with pam [00:48] wthpr0: and in gparted the new partition i creatd shows as unuseable [00:48] i have to run aplay -D blah blah after reboot to get sound working on hdmi [00:48] wthpr0: which I think Jordan_U pointed out that its more than the 4th partition [00:48] saganbyte, does deleting the partition and creating new and formatting help? === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [00:48] saganbyte: You can install to a different drive or delete one of the 4 primary partitions you currently have. Deciding which to delete can be difficult. [00:49] eleph: isn't there a plugin for android sdk? [00:49] Jordan_U: zulax, I m not sure which one to delete [00:49] though that s a good idea [00:49] jrib: I'm a little fuzzy on how pam works; maybe something is screwed up there? I've never touched it on this system though. [00:49] eleph: isn't there a plugin for eclipse android sdk? [00:49] jrib: it's a pretty new install [00:49] Jordan_U: this is a HP laptop, so its got this own shit on one of the partisitons, shall i delete that one [00:50] Can you help with this bluetooth issue? [00:50] i just hope it doesnt mess up th windoews.. this is not my computer [00:50] jobu1342: if you want, you can pastebin a detailed terminal session of what you've done and how you are testing (including ls -l and cat where you think it's appropriate) and I'll check for something you might be missing :) [00:50] saganbyte, after booting in live cd, you can mount yours disks /dev/sda1.... like that and you can see where the windows installed - so dont delete that partition [00:50] gmg: I can't, no [00:50] zulax: you edit the named.conf.local [00:50] can i use the startup disk creator to make usb disks other than ubuntu live/install disks? [00:50] saganbyte: Whatever you do, do *not* delete partition #1. [00:51] zulax: I know th windows partition. so any other i delete, is that okay [00:51] StrangeCharm, use unetbootin instead for other distros [00:51] jrib: you *are* awesome. Hang on a min [00:51] itaylor57: plugins? [00:51] zulax: you can try edit the host file i'm not sure what it will take first [00:51] wthpr0, in the named.conf.local i only say that my zone is in zones/example.com.db [00:51] wthpr0, i wish we studied these at school :( [00:51] Jordan_U: what bout the last one, the one with fat32 [00:51] thanks ZykoticK9 [00:52] Can someone point me the direction which software I should use for bluetooth audio... [00:52] eleph: if you are using eclipse to do android sdk you should download the adroid sdk plugin [00:52] saganbyte: That is most likely safe to delete, but I can't give any guarantee. [00:52] saganbyte, yes than that should be okay BUT BACKUP all your imp windows data first [00:52] but that will not allow me to run the commands via term [00:52] zulax: haha :P [00:52] zulax: theres over 250 gb of crap there... i cant possibly backup.. though i wish i could [00:52] zulax: now when i think of it, i think you can only edit the host file [00:52] saganbyte, i mean imp files that you absolutely need [00:53] itaylor57: and I just did that [00:53] saganbyte: I assume that you have permission to do this from whoever's computer it actually is? [00:53] wthpr0, well i could edit the host file on mine and that woluld solve problem for my pc [00:53] jrib: Ok, I just uninstalled & reinstalled update-motd, and that's included in the following terminal output: [00:53] jrib: root@boxX:/etc/update-motd.d# sudo apt-get remove update-motd root@boxX:/etc/update-motd.d# sudo apt-get install update-motd root@boxX:/etc/update-motd.d# ls -l total 36 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 57 2010-04-23 02:45 00-header -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 57 2011-01-24 16:39 01-header -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 141 2011-01-24 15:01 06-raid-status -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 248 2010-04-23 02:45 10-help-text -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 65 2010-04-1 [00:54] but that defeats the purpose of bind9 server [00:54] jobu1342: use paste.ubuntu.com please :) [00:54] zulax: sorry, what is your problem xD ? [00:55] wthpr0, well basically i would like files.home to take to 192.168.1.10 for all my clients in the lan [00:55] jrib: cool. Here's the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/557912/ [00:55] eleph: I can't reproduce, I use open jdk and android sdk needs java sdk sorry [00:55] jobu1342: your shebang line is wrong, should be: #!/bin/sh [00:56] I ran "dd if=/dev/sdb of=~/ubuntu-backup" on an SD card containing an ubuntu install. Now I need to get a file out of this. What should I do? The drive had one ext4 partition [00:56] wthpr0, it is working :) :) :) this is awesome , thank you for your patience [00:56] and help [00:56] eleph: maybe this link can help http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html [00:56] jrib: you know what... wow [00:56] zulax: good :) [00:57] how can i get back to my Default icon and desktop [00:57] Gnome has changed by mistake [00:57] Some_Person: sudo kpartx -a ~/ubuntu-backup; sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop0pN /mnt/ [00:57] I have got back the panel but colors are gone [00:57] i want to get back to default what was with Lucid [00:57] jrib: update-motd must default to the default motd whenever there is a faulty script [00:58] jobu1342: hmm, maybe [00:58] jrib: thanks for your eyes! [00:58] jobu1342: no problem [01:00] is there anyway i can get back to default colors and Panles [01:00] Any skills on bluetooth audio anyone?

[01:34] john38, sorry - I've had good luck with webcams and ubuntu - so don't know what to suggest. Good luck. [01:34] itaylor57, maybe..maybe if i had a better webcam driver for my Quickcam pro 9000 but i cant find it [01:35] How do I identify my serial ports? Preferably in CLI. [01:35] shawnboy: netstat? [01:36] ZykoticK9, ubuntu installs UVC driver by default but i cant find proprietary driver for my webcam [01:37] shawnboy: what do you mean by identify your serial ports? [01:37] itaylor57: i just tried that but don't think that's what I need. [01:37] shawnboy: by default, serialports will be /dev/ttyS [01:37] john38, sorry - I've had good luck with webcams and ubuntu - so don't know what to suggest. Good luck.

[01:39] Aginor: no. [01:40] shawnboy: lswh? [01:40] Aginor: plain, old-school serial. [01:40] shawnboy: lshw? [01:40] m2mg i tried logging in then out but didnt work [01:40] shawnboy: no, not like that, and there is no way of detecting if something is plugged in without actually trying to talk to it [01:41] shawnboy: if it is serial port one, it ought to be /dev/ttyS0 that you plugged it into. Minicom is a great program if you want to be able to talk to the device directly and tune all of your settings [01:41] FloatingGoat: type this in your terminal nvidia-settings [01:41] m2mg yes something came up. now what?

[01:43] FloatingGoat: im here just typing [01:43] m2mg yes how do i get it so i can have desktop effects? [01:43] em: thanks [01:43] well.

[01:43] csgeek, FYI i've found that xkill does not always work as well as kill or killall [01:44] and there is that little thing in the worfba [01:44] FloatingGoat: make your setting but i think you will have to run the as suso to save the changes [01:44] sure.. but its a gui way that's easier to explain then ps -aux | grep "appname" ; get pid, then kill -9 pid... and pgrep can be dangerous if you use the wrong pattern [01:44] shawnboy: sorry new to this distro, I could tell you if it was a different os [01:44] shawnboy: this looks promising -- http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.8 [01:44] what's the best way to scale cpu speed at boot? [01:45] FloatingGoat: you have to be root or sudo to change video settings [01:45] Aginor: it's probably serial port 1 so I'll try ttyS0 [01:45] hey guys. im having a problem with Samba [01:45] itaylor57: no probl. I appreciate the info. [01:45] before the last major update. i was able to access my windows shared folders. but since then. i get an error [01:46] FloatingGoat: here is a nice web site [01:46] FloatingGoat: http://www.botskool.com/geeks/how-install-nvidia-driver-and-compiz-ubuntu-1010 [01:46] I was using Logitech Quickcam pro 9000 with skype when i attempted a video chat sound was got weird i wasnt able to use microphone....What could that be bad Webcam driver ,skype, or sound driver??? [01:46] shawnboy: excellent. as I said, minicom is great for experimenting with the various settings of the serial port. To install, do "sudo aptitude install minicom" in a terminal [01:47] anyone else using a Hauppauge HVR-2250? how hard was it to setup? [01:47] actually not really samba. its just accessing shared folders over my network. i click on my windows shared folder. and a popup shows. Opening "DELL-DESKTOP" Click Cancel to stop this operation. [01:47] after a min or so [01:48] FloatingGoat: did u get it set [01:48] Unable to mount location. failed to retrieve share list from server [01:48] Aginor: minicom sounds like a handy tool. will look at it. [01:48] Thanks all. [01:48] anybody help?? [01:49] john38: what kind of computer is it? [01:49] shawnboy: it's the best tool ever for hacking around with serial ports. I use it for most of my hardware projects whenever I need to speak over a serial or parallel port, or usb adapter for that [01:49] em, custom machine [01:50] john38: what sound drivers do you use [01:50] SciBot, i think pulseaudio [01:50] m2mg that does not work for me :'9 [01:51] :'( [01:51] FloatingGoat: what part saving the xconf file? or setting up the windows dressing [01:52] john38 do you get audio output with gnome-volume-control [01:53] I have ubuntu server 8.04 (LTS) installed. Is possible to add 10.04 LTS to my sources.list so that I can upgrade a few of my packages? Is that even safe to do? [01:53] if you are using gnome [01:53] m2mg i have already installed a driver manually [01:53] hi, is there a hotkey for opening the "Applications" menu of unitiy? i checkted my (default) hotkey settings and what comes cluse is Alt+F1 or Alt+F2 but if i press them, nothing happens. [01:54] SciBot, when in skype microphone integrated camera losses functionality i cant get it to work either in Sound Preferences [01:54] SciBot, my audio chipset is VIA VT1708S [01:54] Vahid: not a wise thing to do to mix versions, you might try ppa that jumps you around upgrades [01:54] what's the best way to scale cpu speed at boot? [01:55] john38: run a "pulseaudio -vvvvvv" in a terminal (disable autospawning first by [01:55] setting autospawn=no in ~/.pulse/client.conf, and terminate the running PA [01:55] instance then by issuing pulseaudio -k), and paste the startup output this generates [01:55] FloatingGoat: ok so u are saying you have setup your xconf file so are you trying to clcik the extra button at the bottom from your desktop? [01:55] FloatingGoat: if so mine is not turned on there [01:55] I'm having trouble with Network-Manager. It was removed from my panel, and I've tried running the "nm-applet" but I get the following error messages: http://imgur.com/AEVAP [01:55] sacarlson: darn. =/ thanks for the reply [01:55] FloatingGoat: i do it under compix settings [01:56] SciBot, woah ....hold on what will that do? [01:56] Aginor: Woohoo! I can now remote control electrical devices from my ubuntu pc through a serial infrared device using Heyu. Thanks again for the tips. [01:56] FloatingGoat: compiz* [01:56] shawnboy: no worries at all, I'm happy to help [01:57] FloatingGoat: the simple ones dont work with the drivers on mine so i install compiz [01:57] Vahid: take a look in ppa for what you might want to upgrade https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [01:58] is there any way to play pc based games without wine or dual booting [01:58] John38: here is a link for pulseaudio [01:58] m2mg okay ill try compiz [01:58] it is just a sound server [01:58] Does anyone have any ideas? [01:58] SciBot, ok...i found linux driver for my audio chipset would that work?? [01:59] Nexxus: probly not good for games but you can also run virtualbox with windows running inside ubuntu [01:59] john38: it should. Give it a try [01:59] FloatingGoat: are you trying to turn it on by the extra button under visual effects? [01:59] Is it possible to install two different versions of a package? Say I need two different versions of php5, each one supporting an application of its own. Are there options like "--prefix" when using apt? [01:59] john38: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [01:59] SciBot, but its for Debian 4.0 [01:59] sacarlson: i was going to ask about that, do you think that it would be able to run a game like star craft 2 reasonably well or would it not be worth my time to set one up [01:59] SciBot, kernel [02:00] Jordan_U: good evening to you, good sir.

It hangs in "Installing base system 73%" "Updating list of available packages" [02:18] john38: i don't think so. but why would you want to convert a bz2 to deb? [02:19] sam-_-, so i can just click and easily install files [02:19] FloatingGoat: are u there [02:19] sam-_-, i guess i can just compile it [02:19] john38: deb is not meant to be used this way. i don't recommend it [02:20] john38: you can use checkinstall to make a deb of what you compile [02:20] it was checkinstall or check-install ¿¿ [02:21] where is this ubuntu one and how can i purchase music with it [02:21] amazon mp3 loader is outdated with 3rd party boost library version 1.34 === Wolves is now known as Shaded [02:21] this is more of a linux point, but why it isn't more mainstream [02:22] eross: rhythmbox plugin. should be installed and enabled by default [02:22] sam-_-, i want to install proprietary audio driver for my pc which is alsa ...using pulseaudio [02:22] eross: open rhythmbox to buy in the ubuntu one store, actually is seven store or something like that is calles; can't remember [02:22] banshee also has a plugin for that [02:22] rhythmbox, only see jamendo and magnatune. maybe need to reinstall [02:22] hello?

[02:26] update manager starts and finds updates but when i press 'update' fails to ask me for a password. I can apt-get upgrade normally - any ideas? [02:26] is it possible to set up a soft raid post-installation? [02:27] This is my first time using ubuntu os and I want to ask if there is a way to install activex in firefox so that i can access and download things from the website [02:27] Any reccomended automatic external backup programs for 10.10 [02:27] bangjames: activex is only suported by explorer [02:27] Hi, how do I get rid of the ubuntu one bar in metacity? [02:28] ralar: I've never tried it but I'm sure you could, it might be hard to setup the boot from the raid after install but you could move home and other stuf to it after easy [02:28] john38: don't know. try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1191356#6 [02:29] yeah, so I downloaded IE7 via playonlinux and it doesn't seem to be working properly [02:29] sacarlson: thanks, also, re: my earlier question. It would seem the problem is the CD drive, my google-fu was a little better this attempt. [02:29] ralar: I play with soft raid in virtualbox to figure it out without breaking things I need [02:30] sacarlson: sound advice [02:30] activex is a windoz thingee not just ie === jan247_ is now known as jan247 [02:31] activex does not play or work with linux [02:31] ralar: well if it's you cd that's the problem I do have a way to boot install from your hard drive by adding an entry in grub2 to loop mount the iso file [02:31] i understand, but isnt there a way to execute activex? [02:31] just like using Wine program to execute exe files [02:32] bangjames: yes with wine or a vm [02:32] bangjames: install XP under VirtualBox and you can play with activeX all day [02:32] this is weird.. it's downloading to ubuntu-1 storage. do i have to download again? can i localize the files? [02:32] okay that means i'll be having 2 operationg system? [02:32] sacarlson: i have another drive i'm going to try, but assuming that fails how would one go about doing that? [02:33] bangjames: only if youwant to use activex which is MS onlytechnology [02:33] bangjames: why DO you want to use activeX? [02:33] bangjames: activex is pure filth. even microsoft is abandoning it. [02:33] there's this particular website that i've been using for a long time [02:33] where you can download/upload files [02:34] bangjames: which one? [02:34] its korean site [02:34] ralar: it should install faster from the hard disk also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 search in that page for menuentry "Ubuntu" { [02:34] www.kiwidisk.com [02:34] bangjames: specify your warezzzz [02:35] bangjames: LOL and you trust it to run activeX controls on your box! no wonder you've fled the virus infected remains to use ubuntu [02:35] sacarlson: thanks alot, that should solve my problem [02:35] huh? [02:35] bangjames: murkyMurk speaks the truth. activex is a doorway for everything bad [02:36] bangjames: if you just want to upload single files there are lots of alternatives out there [02:36] bangjames: otherwise ftp/sftp/webdav is the way to go. [02:37] ralar: there is a bit of a catch that you can't repartition the disk that you have the iso file mounted from, but with a raid you should have at least 2 disks so worst case you have to partition each disk from booting from the other. [02:37] but its the only site with korean movies,dramas :( [02:37] for ppl residing in north america [02:37] bangjames: ah. so you use it for downloading mainly? [02:37] yes [02:37] bangjames, That website opens from firefox and ubuntu [02:38] yea it does, but i can't download things [02:38] moes: but not the service s/he is referring to [02:38] it seems like i've managed to install activex required by that website, however, [02:39] banjo [02:39] my cat got on my keyboard...sorry guys. [02:39] i don't know why it wont work [02:40] My head phones are not working on ubuntu 10.10 [02:40] bangjames: i doubt youhave installed activeX for Firefox - they don't support it http://support.mozilla.com/ga-IE/questions/692062 [02:41] murkyMurk: s/he did say he also installed ie [02:41] Question on virtual machines: is it possible to copy a file from host to guest? [02:41] murkyMurk: via playonLinux [02:41] sam-_-: sorry - missed that bit [02:41] Question: What is a CMake Binary ? (In Kdevelop) [02:42] !sound | mogaj [02:42] mogaj: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [02:42] i did and when i go to that website via IE, the page doesn't even show up properly [02:42] Froodle: of course. the preferred method differs from vm to vm [02:43] ubottu : evrything fine with sound .... when i plug in headphones ,sound is not coming from headphones but still system spaekers [02:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:43] so i guess virtualbox is the way to go? [02:44] bangjames: that's what i use to access MS appa [02:44] mogaj: go into alsamixer and see if you can find sth. there [02:44] Hey I'm trying to boot up Gparted Live via USB stick and I can't cause GRUB gets in the way, any advice??? [02:44] how do i get at the album i just purchased which went to some cloud in ubuntu one.. i have the desktop set up already with basic account i think [02:45] update manager starts and finds updates but when i press 'update' fails to ask me for a password. I can apt-get upgrade normally - any ideas? [02:45] and just to clarify, is ubuntu a customized linux os? [02:45] anyone know how to reinstall the default fonts into ubuntu? [02:45] or ubuntu is distinct from linux? [02:45] bangjames: based on Debian, yes [02:45] bangjames - all distros are custom, more some than others [02:45] george__000: you have to tell your bios to voot via usb. [02:45] @bangjames: Ubuntu is derived from Debian [02:45] i see [02:46] sam-_-: nothing i found there :( [02:46] and Debian is a Linux Distro [02:46] Varc: having never used kdevelop, I might be wrong, but you can think of cmake as a makefile generator [02:46] mogaj: when you plug in your headphones. do your speakers still work? [02:46] Varc: it's kind of like configure [02:47] sam-_-: at bootup i select my USB Stick which is a SanDisk Cruzer but grub comes up [02:47] ???? [02:47] so both Ubuntu and Debian are linux distributions [02:47] hello evry b.......... [02:47] well, what are the advantages of using ubuntu other than security issues? it lacks so much compatibality [02:48] Aginor: But it's is a especific folder or what? the program need a CMake Binary [02:48] hvvvvhvhv [02:48] eselle: hmm i'm not sure. sudo defoma-reconfigure [02:48] bangjames: only compatibility with MS products. Every I want to do I can do with linux except play games designed to run only under MS [02:48] yeah but almost every games run only under ms :( [02:48] george__000: the grub that is installed on your harddisk? [02:48] Varc: cmake is a package you can install using synaptics or aptitude or apt-get === jan247_ is now known as jan247 [02:48] sam-_-; yea [02:49] Varc: then I would assume that kdevelop will magically pick up on it [02:49] it tells me to boot either Ubuntu or my other distro [02:49] and also MS products are most popular for ppl.. [02:49] bangjames: true but I have no problem dual booting for a game i want to play - at least my main files are secure on the linux partition [02:49] sam-_-:yes [02:49] i downloaded audio driver version for my pc which is 1.0.18.....should i just upgrade to newer alsa version???? [02:49] Aginor: Can you tell me the name for the terminal? I say, the Package [02:49] george__000: then your usbstick may not be working [02:49] george__000: isn't correctly installed [02:49] how do I generate a list of all installed packages on my system? [02:49] bangjames: but if you want to use MS please do [02:49] Varc: "sudo aptitude install cmake" in a terminal [02:50] mogaj: are you sure they aren't plugged into microphone then? [02:50] hmm ill keep trying, if not ill just remove grub temporarely [02:50] mogaj: try all the options of plugging them in === JackyAlcine-AFK is now known as JackyAlcine [02:50] how are you folks today? [02:50] Aginor: thanks you very much [02:50] okay thanks for the help, can i get virtual box from ubuntu software centre? [02:51] sam-_-: they are plugged into right sockts [02:51] fadein, dpkg -la [02:51] george__000: oh no. i wouldn't do that. and i see no way this should be necessary [02:51] Varc: no worries, happy to help [02:51] fadein: dpkg --get-selections > installed-software [02:51] bucky murkyMurk: thx [02:51] thanks sam-_- [02:52] mogaj: maybe your mic and headphones are switched even though it says otherwise [02:52] bangjames: yes virtual box 3.2 is in repro [02:52] okay! thanks a lot [02:53] virtual box 4.0.2 is available [02:53] Jordan_U: hm, I wrote it to a usb drive with unetbootin (in windows) and all I got was the 'default' and 'boot wubi' selections during boot and it didn't go anywhere [02:54] bucky: yes but it's a manual install --- well a .deb install [02:54] murkyMurk, it's in a ppa [02:54] however, I was finally able to 'pause' the system at the point that the error message occured - "error: unknown command 'loadfont'" [02:54] http://www.unixmen.com/linux-distributions/4-ubuntu/1242-install-virtualbox-via-ppa-repository-in-ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat [02:56] bucky: thanks [02:57] just me with the update-manager problem then? [02:57] My ubuntu keeps freezing and then restarting by itself which sucks!! is there any way to know why is it doing that? [02:57] how can I only display a line with a "+" in the first character in vim? [02:57] how much RAM should i allocate to virtual box? my ram is 2gb [02:58] Chilaquiles: that is usually a RAM problem [02:58] Chilaquiles: as in the physical hardware [02:58] murkyMurk: whats wrong with RAM? [02:58] what is the command in defragfs to get the program to defrag hdd? [02:58] bangjames: I allocated 512M dynamic I think [02:58] okay [02:59] Chilaquiles: often that fault is caused by failing or incompatible RAM modules although it can also be a dying PSU. [02:59] ok guess i'll wait for rhythmbox to sync up with the cloud. [03:00] murkyMurk: is there any way to know for sure whats the problem? [03:00] Chilaquiles: if you have several sticks of RAM try them one at a time to see if the problem goes away [03:00] Chilaquiles: if it stops crashing then you've found your problemn [03:00] Chilaquiles: every time it's happened to me it's been RAM [03:00] Chilaquiles: run memtest as well, or possibly before [03:01] Chilaquiles: do a memtest. it will take about 2-4 hours but then you will know for sure if your ram is faulty [03:01] Chilaquiles: although that will take a lot longer than just swapping out the chips [03:01] Aginor: whats the command to run memtest? [03:02] murkyMurk: but you won't have clarity with just swapping out ram [03:02] Chilaquiles: it should be in the grub menu, unless they've gotten rid of it in newer versions and I never noticed [03:02] murkyMurk: I just have 1 stick of memory, I have purchased another stick of the same ram, hopefully this will fit [03:02] Chilaquiles: you may have to hold shift while booting [03:02] hello i was wondering if someone can help me setup nagios notifications on a ubuntu server?? thanks [03:03] sam-_-: is that the only way to do it? or is there any command to run it? [03:03] Chilaquiles: this is the only way [03:04] ok so I can't be working on something else while the process is running? [03:04] Chilaquiles: it's like a tiny differnt operating system that's especially designed to test the memory in the computer, so you need to boot it like an operating system [03:04] Chilaquiles: no [03:04] well I guess that's how the test works [03:05] Chilaquiles: is it an Asus AMD motherboard BTW? [03:05] nope [03:05] let me check [03:06] can anyone help? [03:06] Hi. How do I run a tar.bz2 file?

[03:13] Britman: I would suggest trying to look in /etc/fstab of your hard drive along with looking in /dev/disk-by/uuid to see if you can find a match. [03:13] john38: which version of ubuntu? [03:13] sam-_-, 10.04 [03:13] Chilaquiles: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-log-files-location-and-how-do-i-view-logs-files/ === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [03:14] Diamondcite ok, I'm just starting it up now [03:14] john38: if you really need the new version of alsa think about upgrading to 10.10 [03:15] murkyMurk: thanks for all the help man, I appreciate it [03:15] how do i delete iphone-set-info process? [03:15] sam-_-, nah i dont want to use 10.10 [03:15] when i charge ipod tocuh, iphone-set-info process was get my cpu 100% [03:15] john38: are you sure you need the new alsa? [03:16] LyukO: try typing 'man top' in a terminal [03:16] È£Ãâ ÇÏ·Á¸é '!¾ÆÀÌÀ¯'¸¦ ÀÔ·Â ÇØÁÖ¼¼¿ä. [03:16] sam-_-, my motherboard manufacturer included 1.0.18 with my audio chipset [03:16] y. but you should really stick to the ubuntu version [03:16] LyukO: You just said something in a non-english character set.. [03:17] hey guys.. im trying to compile alsa utils from source, when doing make install i get a line: /bin/bash: m: command not found, what is this command?? [03:17] can i get alsa 1.0.18 in .deb file? [03:17] sam-_-, can i get alsa 1.0.18 in .deb file? [03:17] tacotron: maybe you left a space between m and ake? [03:17] murkyMurk: i dont believe so.. cause it inializes the install, it goes thru and does it [03:18] the error comes up in the middle of install [03:18] tacotron: ahhh, so that'll be an ALSA scripting error [03:18] tacotron: sounds like a bug in whatever script you're running. ive never heard of an "m" command [03:19] crap.. tehn what should i do? i cant get my sound card working.. =( [03:19] tacotron: use OSS [03:19] john38: that's even an older version that lucid uses http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/alsa-base do you really want the older alsa? [03:19] OSS is better and will work for Realtek ALC259? [03:19] join #diaspora [03:19] oops [03:19] tacotron: in my opinion OSS rocks - i always use it in preference to ALSA [03:20] sacarlson, yeah thats the driver that was recommended for my audio chipset [03:20] ok, and wil it work with my sound card? === senekis_ is now known as senekis [03:20] tacotron: hang on - i'll check [03:20] tacotron: alsa and oss are both possible sound drivers / low-leel libraries. alsa has the upstream kernel's blessing, oss does not. they each support a wide range of hardware, but it is not an identical subset, so it's possible switching from one to the other can clear up an issue [03:20] oh no! dont do that ill check i dont want to make u think u have to [03:21] john38: so the new 1.0.22.1 doesn't work for you is that what your saying? it may have been recommended in the past but this is now [03:21] tacotron: LOL - yes OSS supprts pretty mucheverything [03:21] sacarlson, no i use pulsoaudio i just want to switch to alsa [03:21] sacarlson, stable version [03:21] tacotron: which ALC259 do you have? "lspci -vv | grep -A1 0403" [03:22] I accidentally deleted the PPA package from my software sources... now i can't download, remove, and install ubantu software, including pidgin.... does anyone know how it can be fixed? [03:22] tacotron: i use the OSS v4 from opensound.com - read their very easy install guide ad you'll be done in 2 minutes [03:22] tacotron: although some things need changing from their ALSA default - it's al there in the OSS help & forums [03:23] thanks murkyMurk, your awesome [03:23] unable to mount filesystem. DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending [03:23] maco: that doesnt return anything [03:23] I can't mount to get at my files from the liveUSB [03:24] how do I disconnect from a remote desktop session other than clicking on the close button? [03:24] tacotron: ok how about: grep Subsystem /proc/asound/card*/codec* [03:24] Britman: What happens when you try? [03:25] tacotron: hang on....given that new versions of alsa are packaged and in the repositories, why were you trying to compile it at all? [03:25] I've found the files you refer to on the LiveUSB storage - I cant get at my old storage though. I get as above /\ [03:25] maco: was following the snd-hda-intel guide for ubuntu [03:25] Britman: Look in your Places on top, see if you see a "Filesystem" which is the same size as your / [03:26] tacotron: link please? i want to see who's recommending doing that when linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic exists [03:26] jetsaredim: I haven't used vino for ages -wasn't it an option under the usual log off on the taskbar? have you tried the vino manual? [03:26] tacotron: (and -karmic- and -lucid- ) [03:26] it may just be an outdated link. i just switched back to ubuntu from arch linux.. unfortunately i really dont have time to go find the link.. i need to get on homework.. im just gonna use oss, thanks tho [03:27] Diamondcite I just see my LiveUSB, Windows and the Ubuntu 19gb storage which I am trying to access [03:27] honestly if you just google the codec: ALC259 no sound or no sound ubuntu it will be near the top i think [03:27] Britman: And what happens you when pick that 19GB partition? [03:27] murkyMurk: yea - usually but i'm inside a vbox vm so any time i move my mouse inside the desktop the vinagre/vino thing grabs the cursor [03:27] tacotron: ALC259 is in no way specific [03:27] thats my codec [03:27] hey guys i have a dilemma. I am running a dual boot laptop with ubuntu 10.10 and win xp. I have my laptop connected to my 50" tv and with windows the laptop screen goes blank/turns off when connected to the tv and the lid is closed. with ubuntu however the laptop screen stays on when connected to the tv and the lid is closed. How can i remedy this? [03:27] and thats what i used to search.. dunno what to tell u [03:27] tacotron: but things are fixed on individual hardware basis [03:27] Diamondcite unable to mount filesystem. DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending [03:28] How do I modify the grub kernel args to boot into the initrd? I recalled a casper= arg but I can't remember it now. [03:28] tacotron: thats why i asked for the Subsystem Id listed in the codec dump [03:28] murkyMurk: I thought there used to be a way to disconnect from within the viewer [03:28] jetsaredim: ahh yes, i think the disconnect was one of the F buttons....can't remember now. Check the vino/vinagre manual? [03:28] john38: maybe try the alsa you have by switching to alsa in gstreamer run command gstreamer-properties and try alsa [03:28] maco: your command didnt work, said the directory does not exist [03:29] tacotron: no /proc/asound? oooh well then... thats an interesting level of failure there [03:29] tacotron: well, unless you already removed alsa, in which case it makes sense [03:29] sacarlson, for default output should i choose digital or analog [03:29] anything guys? [03:29] tacotron: but alright, have fun with oss. if it doesnt work out, switch back to alsa before asking help in here as oss isnt supported in ubuntu [03:29] yeah that must be why.. but i reinstalled alsa driver and lib, just not utils [03:29] sacarlson, i use a webcam with integrated microphone [03:30] maco: alright, thanks [03:30] john38: I assume you use an analog plugin speaker but not sure what you have [03:30] sacarlson, tv speakers [03:30] john38: try analog [03:31] sleep time [03:32] hey guys i have a dilemma. I am running a dual boot laptop with ubuntu 10.10 and win xp. I have my laptop connected to my 50" tv and with windows the laptop screen goes blank/turns off when connected to the tv and the lid is closed. with ubuntu however the laptop screen stays on when connected to the tv and the lid is closed. How can i remedy this? [03:32] Evening everyone how goes it? [03:33] sacarlson, do i have to restart computer [03:33] chaos2358, windows power options [03:33] you want ubuntu to switch off aswell chaos2358 ? [03:33] chaos2358: Well you mean that the screen goes blank in windows? [03:33] john38: I don't think so [03:33] does anyone know anything about intel drivers? [03:34] !ask | ryanX [03:34] ryanX: 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. :-) [03:34] wooter, mellin the screen already blanks with windows. but i cant get it to do so with ubuntu [03:34] john38: you will have to run applications through gstreamer [03:34] sacarlson, where do i go to see if i am using alsa [03:34] sorry, new at irc. [03:35] john38: what application is it you plan to run? [03:35] chaos2358: Go to system power managment and drop down the option for blank screen. Do it for battery and plugged int [03:35] *in* [03:35] sacarlson, i use skype but it still has pulseaudio as its default audio [03:36] mellin, its already set to blank screen [03:36] okay, so i have an intel gm 965 express chipset, and i would like to upgrade its driver. [03:36] john38: look in audio setup in skype you can select [03:36] chaos2358: Sorry system/preferences/then power management. Is it set that way for both battery power and ac power? [03:36] i found a package called i965-va-driver that seems compatible, but im not sure if its the one im looking for. [03:36] sacarlson, let me restart [03:37] mellin yes it is. though my batt is fried and i only use it on ac power [03:37] chaos2358: Ok then what you want to do is do Alt+F2 type gconf-editor and open it up. [03:38] Let me find the rest of the steps here...so you can see what the settings say for what it claims is already configured [03:38] mellin ok === amh345_ is now known as amh345 [03:41] chaos2358: You are looking for apps > gnome-power-manager > buttons make sure it says lid_ac and lid_battery blank [03:41] chaos2358: NOT "Do Nothing" [03:41] mellin ok they say blank [03:42] mellin now what? [03:42] chaos2358: If those settings aren't wrong I have no idea other than possibly due to the battery being dead it is getting mixed up. That is what it should say. Is the battery removed? [03:43] ive tried with the battery in and out. and the battery isnt totally fried just wont sustain a charge more then half an hour [03:43] melli ^ [03:43] mellin, ^^ [03:44] I accidentally deleted the PPA package from my software sources... now i can't download, remove, and install ubantu software, including pidgin.... does anyone know how it can be fixed? [03:44] hi guys. is anyone able to help me with ALSA & an "Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster", please? [03:44] chaos2358: Sorry then I'm still learning myself. Wait a bit then ask again if you don't get any response as the channel is active and some will surely miss your post [03:44] sacarlson, everything is still set to use Pulseaudio(local) [03:44] mellin ok thanks for your help none the less. [03:45] chaos2358: Absolutely...I've been helped plenty myself [03:45] how can I find the IP addresses of other computers on my network? [03:45] john38: I'm reading about skype 2.1 that I think you run and it is setup to use pulse audio as default I'm looking for a workaround to enable alsa for it [03:48] phixxor: PM [03:48] old ALSA bug, ubuntu, not working….. : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=19307 … some help please? [03:49] phixxor: Use nmap [03:49] john38: I'm reading this http://blogs.skype.com/linux/2009/09/some_explanations.html and still can't find a way to switch, but I do see that skype will run without pulseaudio [03:51] Where might I find a php executable - so that I might specify it form Eclipse debugger? [03:52] john38: I think I found it in that link I sent you To disable auto-spawn, edit or create the file ~/.pulse/client.conf and add a line containing "autospawn = no" there. [03:52] horseatingweeds: Ummmm do what you need and chmod+x? [03:52] john38: but maybe before you do that you should verify with another gstreamer application that alsa even works [03:53] sacarlson, for default input do i choose alsa? [03:53] mellin, Eclipse says I need to specify a 'PHP Executable'. I've searched around but can't find it with Eclipe's search tool. [03:53] john38: yes that's what you want to try alsa [03:54] sacarlson, how do i open /.pulse/client.conf [03:54] can someone please tell me how to start a new x session (without genome) for world of warcraft [03:54] horseatingweeds: I'v no idea, but do you know what the php executable is supposed to accomplish? [03:55] john38: I would use gedit my favorite text editor you use whatever standard editor you want like.. vi, vim .... [03:55] tbruff13: I'm guessing that perhaps Google would get you far [03:55] mellin, not really. I assume it give Eclipse something to run the php with. I don't know... [03:56] hola [03:56] como entro en ubuntu-es+ [03:56] horseatingweeds: need to install php5-cli [03:56] horseatingweeds: it wants the path to the executable that is run when you type "php" at a command line interface [03:56] acually ive been looking for this script all day i need a script [03:57] !es | harold [03:57] harold: 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. [03:57] maco, ok. Thanks. [03:57] gracias [03:57] Where is Ubuntu's smb.conf? It appears the one in the usual place (/etc/samba/smb.conf) is a sample one. [03:57] people have told me that it was on a certain page I go to said page and i cannot find it so if someone can help me find the script i would appreciate it Ps. im googleing now [03:58] horseatingweeds: Did you get the answer? If so would you please tell me so I will know in the future if I run across it? [03:58] john38: but you sure you don't want to verify alsa works first? with like the vlc application? [03:59] mellin, marco said I need to install php5-cli. [03:59] hi there, I have a remote server using 10.04, today I update openssh and now I can't access the server, the last error msg I get while trying to start ssh was: "Failed to spawn ssh pre-start process: unable to set oom adjustment: Operation not permitted" any ideas on what may the problem be? [03:59] I'm doing that now. [03:59] mellin: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/php5-cli/filelist /usr/bin/php5 [03:59] horseatingweeds: Ok cool thanks..I was just about to guess it was another package that enhances PHP [03:59] horseatingweeds: Thanks for the answer! [04:01] hello. are there alternatives to dvconnect to send a .dv file to a camcorder? because I'm not sure if I can get it to work, as it complains about video1394 [04:02] What does one do, when upon booting, there are no top and bottom bars? [04:03] murkyMurk: just an FYI, OSS DOES NOT WORK with my sound card [04:03] any1 know how to set repo to a specific folder? It just dumps everything in my user folder [04:03] hur: I have a sony cam and used firewire before but was only able to read in dv files from it, I tried to send to it but failed, If you get it to work I would love to hear about it. this was back around year 2007 so things may have got better [04:04] when OSS installed, my computer made a loud piercing hum and i could not control it, now whever ubuntu boots it makes that noise that changes pitch if i move the computer or close the clamshell.. can i disable oss from a live disc? [04:05] needless to say i will NEVER be using OSS again [04:06] What does one do, when upon booting, there are no top or bottom bars in xfce? [04:06] tacotron: oss is long gone. apps use oss only trough alsa-oss [04:07] sacarlson, i uninstalled pulseaudio now i dont have sound preferences [04:07] tacotron: *through [04:07] seriously? Jeez.. you know i could have blown out my speakers it was so loud [04:07] john38: I never told you to uninstall pulseaudio [04:07] yeah.. OSS is kinda archaic now. It seemed to have its heyday around 10 to 12 years ago, back when the Audigy chipset was newsk00l [04:08] sacarlson, i'll just reinstall it [04:08] john38: ok [04:08] well if murkyMurk comes back in.. im gonna tell him he almost blew my speakers out.. [04:08] sacarlson, ok installed [04:08] recommending that [04:08] john38: you could also use the alsa mixer [04:09] maco: you said earlier that the latest Alsa stuff is in the repos? [04:09] My wireless card, Intel 5300, has the capability of being a base station too (they call it MyWiFi PAN). How can I find out if I can do this in Ubuntu? [04:09] "Your own milage may vary" kinda applies here, eh? [04:09] heh [04:09] john38: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsamixer [04:09] hi, I want to view the mysql query log. I added the log settings at /etc/mysql/my.cnf and then restart mysql service. But no happen when i query mysql. is someone add query log settings ? can give me some idear ? [04:09] sacar actually my laptop is running an older ubuntu i guess and I can cat or cp the .dv file to a file under /dev [04:09] sacarlson, skype still using pulseaudio [04:10] but my main machine is coming up with /dev/fw0 and /dev/fw1 now, firewire ohci? something is different. plus, I never had much success with dvconnect [04:10] sacarlson, i noticed that when i uninstalled pulaseaudio i was able to select Quickcam pro 9000 from options [04:10] is there any way i can disable OSS using a live disc? i have sensitive data on my ubuntu install and id rathern ot have to reinstall the entire OS [04:10] john38: yes as that link I gave you states you need to uninstall or stop pulseaudio to get skype to use alsa [04:11] john38: ok well that sounds like progress then [04:11] sacarlson, but then i couldnt load sound applet [04:12] john38: sound applet is only for pulseaudio, for alsa there are other mixers as the link above I gave you alsamixer [04:13] sacarlson, gnome alsa mixer? [04:13] john38: there are many that might work [04:14] sacarlson, skype had so many options for default speakers mostly HD audio [04:14] Jordan_U: got it fixed using the ubuntu livecd [04:15] sacarlson, i just want to select my webcam's microphone to be used as default input [04:15] john38: here are more alsa mixers take your pick, there are even more. http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/AlsaMixers [04:15] john38: so what's stoping you? [04:16] can anyone direct me where to find info on installing ubuntu on a USB drive? [04:16] !usb | Brictone [04:16] Brictone: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:16] sacarlson, i dont know how the hell to use alsa mixer doesnt allow me to test microphone [04:16] onto not from... [04:17] Brictone: read the 2nd link [04:17] ok thanks [04:17] sacarlson yes my laptop brings up /dev/dv1394/0 when I plug in my camera as a firewire connection. that's how I send .dv files to it (by copying it to that device file). my main machine does something different, with /dev/fw0 or /dev/fw1 [04:17] john38: that's what vlc is for if you want another application to test your mic try record video with vlc http://www.scribd.com/doc/25400/Video-Recording-With-VLC [04:18] hur: so does it work? [04:18] well I'm going to try again getting dv1394 module running on my main machine. it's using something more modern i think, some other module set [04:18] hur: like I said I tried it and failed [04:19] hur: well that's what I want to hear is if it works, and what camera is it? mine was a pc100 sony [04:20] mine is a pretty recent sony hdv, dvcam unit [04:20] can I get some help with rsync? I'm trying to copy a big folder from one computer to another, and i just want to make sure my command is doing what I think it's doing? [04:21] From my mac to my linux computer: rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh phix@phixtop-linux" --delete /Users/Shared/iTunes/iTunes\ Music/ /home/phix/music/iTunes\ Music [04:22] hur: well as I said before I would LOVE to hear if it works to send video to the cam. [04:22] My webcam works in "Cheese". How can I see how it is connected to my system? lsusb and lspci don't show it [04:24] Thanks again for the link I'll probly be back with other easy questions later! [04:24] cd /home/desktop/myfile??? [04:24] is good? [04:24] rigth? [04:24] No existe el fichero o el directorio [04:25] Ramir00: cd ~/Desktop/myfile [04:26] is it necessary to do a disc clean up on ubuntu if so how is this done [04:26] where is the kernel source located ? I don't have /usr/src but I thought I had installed the source. [04:27] sar well my dv1394 module works for /dev/dv1394/0 like i said, on my laptop. probably because the interface is a good one, which is 0c:04.1 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCIxx12 OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller [04:28] does anyone know what to do with a more modern type though, onboard atx motherboard? dv1394 isn't quite loading and unloading cleanly. i get /dev/fw1 to come up which is the firewire_ohci module? the lspci spec is (sorry if this is a lot of into) 01:0a.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) [04:29] how to I tell my laptop that it's OK to allow SSH connections? [04:29] BBC [04:30] phixxor after you install sshd just check some /etc/init.d and /etc/rc3.d type startup scripts [04:30] phixxor: do you have the package openssh-server installed ? [04:30] let me check these things, thanks :) [04:33] I'm installing openssh-server now [04:33] hello [04:33] Gnea: Unetbootin doesn't work with Super GRUB2 Disk (yet). [04:33] guys need help with wireless module for thinkpad edge 13 under ubuntu (amd 64 bit) [04:33] working off of an ethernet connection right now [04:34] Jordan_U: okay, what method would you recommend via windows? [04:34] but need to enable wireless. anyone has had experience installing wireless module on edge 13 under ubuntu 64 bit [04:34] can any one tell me where i should go for "WOL" help? [04:35] when someone talks about installing from maverick main - how do I do that? [04:35] phpinfo() and php -m say I have xdebug installed, but Eclipse php debugger says I need to check my php.ini file. What could this be? [04:36] Gnea: None currently. It's possible with dd for windows, but more difficult than it should be. [04:36] galamar did you research the etherwake utility you need to install that first, and also make sure your bios has one of the settings set for the lan to wake up [04:36] Jordan_U: that sort of defeats the purpose of a rescue disk then [04:36] hey. how would desktop cube work with an extended desktop w/ 2 screens [04:37] i'm having a little trouble understanding a library i've installed... [04:37] according to this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=natty&arch=any&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=libmpfr.so.1 [04:37] HowardTheDuck: When I had my setup like that they were two different cubes. [04:37] the file i need ( libmpfr.so.1 ) is provided by the packages libmpfr1ldbl [04:37] hur: i have turned it on in bios im just confused about all the address setup stuff. [04:38] BlueBomber7, are you friggin kidding me? 2 cubes??? [04:38] but, i only have a libmpfr.so.4 [04:38] HowardTheDuck: IE the workspaces came in pairs, and changing one changed the other simultaneously. [04:38] HowardTheDuck: You're talking dual monitor? [04:38] ahh [04:38] yeah [04:38] well laptp + external monitor more specifically [04:38] galamar well if i understand you then you want to use etherwake and give it a mac address. you get the mac address from ifconfig [04:38] Is there an ext driver for windows 7? [04:38] OK, well, I had dual monitors. I don't remember if I had it set to mirror or not, though :-s [04:38] just curious, my desktop has a cube but only 1 monitor...curious as to what it would do when i have 2 [04:38] (#ot, perhaps) [04:39] One cube per display is what I remember. [04:39] Gnea: You can write it to a CD with windows, and I hope unetbootin will support SG2D soon. The next version should also be possible to install via cygwin's grub2 package. [04:39] so, 8 desktops? [04:39] hur: its more the correct port values im sorry for the mis-info [04:39] HowardTheDuck: Don't confuse displays, desktops, workspaces, and cubes ;-) [04:39] Jordan_U: system doesn't have a cd/dvd drive, but usb flashdrives plug in just fine [04:40] galamar not sure about that. i've used the "magic packet" feature, which is a standard port if it's a port at all. i dunno, i haven't had to worry about it [04:40] im not thats why im asking, 2 cubes would mean the need for 8 desktops right? [04:40] No, the cube is just a transition effect. [04:40] You can have as many workspaces as you want. [04:40] oh [04:40] hur: like port forwarding in the network [04:40] And in whatever configuration (linear or two-dimensional) [04:40] sacarlson, ok i got pulseaudio uninstalled to use webcam input in Skype [04:40] gotcha, thanks [04:41] NP [04:41] cp * 192.168.1.104:/home/user/blah is asking for that machines password. but everytime i enter the password it says permission denied, try again. is there something im missing? i know for a fact that the pw is right. i just ssh'd with it. [04:41] Gnea: Actually, if you select the "Floppy" option from the "Disk Image" drop down it should work. [04:42] sacarlson, i dont understand the options before were set to Pulseaudio(local) for microphone, speakers, and everything..now im able to select quickcam pro 9000 from list [04:43] sacarlson, it worked in pulseaudio but when i attempted to video chat microphone was non functional [04:43] Gnea: Except the current image is .6 MiB too large for a floppy image :(. If you'd like to discuss SG2D more we should probably move to #sgrub as it's gone offtopic for #ubuntu. [04:43] anyone? [04:44] Jordan_U: er, well I don't get that option, since I don't have a floppy drive either (it's a netbook) so the only things that are available are the hard drive and any usb drive that gets plugged in [04:44] sacarlson, is it the same if i were using pulseaudio. the sound applet in preferences allowed to select Quickcam for default input [04:44] amh345: cp * user@192.168.1.104:~/blah [04:44] sacarlson, you know what im saying [04:44] Since the magic packet is only scanned for the string above, and not actually parsed by a full protocol stack, it may be sent as any network- and transport-layer protocol. It is typically sent as a UDP datagram to port 7 or 9, but actually it can be sent on any port. === Vixie|kyukon is now known as Vixie [04:45] -- that was from the Wake-On-LAN wikipedia page [04:45] Gnea: It's not about writing to a floppy drive, but rather treating the image as a bootable floppy image (which it is) instead of a bootable CD image (which it also is). [04:45] Hey -- when I try to ssh into my computer, I get this prompt -- what am I doing wrong?: Permission denied (publickey,password) [04:46] Gnea: that line is just returning a usage map for cp [04:46] phixxor, i assume you set up an ssh server on your computer? [04:46] Jordan_U: OIC, with the diskimage... hrm.. [04:47] amh345, try scp [04:47] amh345: then use scp, cp is local-only [04:47] zek152, yes, and I tried logging in to localhost and it worked [04:47] sacarlson, you there? [04:47] amh345: the only way you can use cp across the network is with nfs or cifs [04:47] zek152, i'm on my mac now, and the same user/password isn't working [04:47] Gnea: 1.98s1 should definitely work with that option, I'm not sure what will happen with the wubi_rescue.iso as it's slightly too large for a floppy. [04:47] amh345: well, zfs could work too [04:47] phixxor, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=267264 [04:48] Jordan_U: I'll give it a try and see what happens [04:48] Gnea: scp worked. but it didnt grab directories as well. only files located at the root of *. hmm [04:48] amh345: scp -r [04:48] scp * -r ? [04:49] amh345: man scp [04:49] man scp <-- will tell you the correct lineup [04:49] zek152, alright, I'll try deleting the known_hosts [04:49] who here is good with ubuntu install problems? [04:49] thank you [04:49] jessie: most of us [04:49] How does php see the config files in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d? [04:50] ok, im new to linux and im tryin to help my friend. he can run ubuntu 10.10 from cd just fine, but it wont run from HD... any suggestions? [04:50] i got mine to work just fine though, on this com and a laptop [04:50] phixxor, if that doesn't work i wouldn't be able to help anymore than just doing another google search for you. [04:50] alright, thanks for your help :D [04:52] any suggestions on what would make it not run from HD? [04:52] can somebody help me i have no sound there is no device detected in sound preferences [04:52] jessie, is the bios set to boot from hard drive [04:52] jessie: What happens when you try to install it? [04:52] jessie: my suggestion is to explain the problem in as much detail as possible. vagueness doesn't solve problems, it creates problems. [04:53] sry, im trying to talk him into getting in the room here so he can explain it [04:53] im the delevery guy right now [04:53] lol [04:53] jessie: I agree with Gnea. More details, please. We're asking more questions than you :P [04:54] can somebody help me i have no sound there is no device detected in sound preferences?? [04:54] hi why dont my sound settings stay sometimes i have to goto prefs and change the output but it does not stik [04:54] !sound | john38 [04:54] john38: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [04:54] Gnea, i have no sound [04:54] zek152, d'oh, I was trying to login using a nonexistant username [04:55] john38: see the troubleshooting url above. [04:55] zek152, that's why it worked with localhost and not here [04:55] Quick one: How do I start a graphical application from terminal, then be able to close the terminal without killing the app? Someone showed me once, but I don't remember [04:55] how do i get my ubuntu to look like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC3UG4SwWNA [04:55] phixxor, that will do it. glad you got it figured out. [04:55] OttifantSir, append && I believe -- but better get a second opinion [04:56] ok here is what he says "everything goes ok then when I restart my computer it starts to load then a get a black screen instead of the ubuntu 10.10 screen my moniter says out of range then nothing happens I can hear ubuntu start up from my head phones but no images." [04:56] Hansolz: your request is denied. [04:57] phixxor: Thank you for quick response. Don't remember what it was, but it didn't include &&, that much I remember. [04:57] jessie: he will need to get into the grub boot menu when the system starts up and turn boot verbosity on [04:57] !grub2 | jessie The following illustrates how to do this: [04:57] jessie The following illustrates how to do this:: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:58] jessie: second URL [04:58] ok, ill tell him [04:58] thanks you so much! [04:58] is it redundant to use rsync with the switches -ravz ? [04:58] jessie: by turning verbosity on, he will be able to see the error message when it happens [04:59] i'm not sure if -a includes -r [04:59] does anybody know if dx works with wine for use with WOW or am i stuck with open gl [04:59] i was thinking it was something to do with graphics, but wasnt sure [04:59] sar I found a useful page that talks about switching between the old and new firewire stacks. my laptop had the old one (which works) so I'm setting up my main machine to use the old one as well. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire [04:59] phixxor: -a includes -r. see the manpage. [04:59] it just wasnt making sense that the cd works but not off HD lol [04:59] jessie: well if he swapped the hard drive from one machine to another, there could be a video driver mismatch, yeah [05:00] phixxor: "-r archive mode; equals -rlptgoD" [05:00] he just said "I can only load of the cd if I chose F then select nomodeset [05:00] -a ** [05:00] -a does include -r (recursive) [05:00] thanks rww! [05:00] Quick one: How do I start a graphical application from terminal, then be able to close the terminal without killing the app? Someone showed me once, but I don't remember [05:01] does anyone know of a purely command line media app for ubuntu server? something that functions with ps3 and xbox? now that im getting ubuntu running nicely, i want to move over my old windoze machines. [05:01] OttifantSir: Start it in the background. [05:01] I am running maverick. I want to add "noatime" to a USB thumb drive when it is plugged in. Where is this sort of thing kept? What system is in charge of that? I hear things keep changing. Is it udev? HAL? or something else? [05:01] OttifantSir: example: [05:01] $ nautilus . & [05:01] OttifantSir, appending an "&" at the end of a command will background it. you can bring it back to the forground with the fg # command, where # is the job ID (printed to the console when you start the original application [05:01] OttifantSir: "command &" works fine for me. you may also be thinking of 'disown', which is another way of doing it. [05:02] lol. i like how we all responded the same thing at pretty much the same time [05:02] we must be right :) [05:02] OttifantSir: By the way, nothing about what we're telling you has anything to do with the program being GUI or CLI [05:02] i thoguht it was && for some reason [05:02] BlueBomber7 and rww: Thank you. Now remember where I saw what I thought of - Linux Journal Quick Tip [05:02] OttifantSir: Yup, just process management. [05:02] john38: so audio in skype works fine in pulseaudio but not when run with video chat, I'm not sure what your problem is, sounds like a skype problem [05:03] && will run the first command and then the second command. [05:03] zek152: if the first command does not have errors [05:03] If the first command terminates normally, right? [05:03] Yes. [05:03] sacarlson, that could be it ...but i had to narrow it down [05:04] bastidrazor, yes, of course, good clarification. [05:04] rww: can rsync be used with filepaths containing spaces? like /home/rww/foo\ bar kind of thing? [05:04] hello! how can i get rid of this pink color that shows up in various parts of the theme? see the pinkness: http://tinyurl.com/66gmxka and also http://tinyurl.com/5r5k3so there is no such pink in the Ambience theme!! [05:04] Hey on my mac I am getting chromium 9 but then on my ubuntu it's still chromium 8 what is the deb entry I have to add to upgrade ? [05:04] sacarlson, someone here told me they used skype fine...could be my webcam [05:04] I plugged a hard drive in through a USB port and I want to mount it, how do I go about doing this? [05:04] chd: man mount [05:04] !mount [05:04] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [05:05] phixxor: dunno. I'd imagine so... [05:06] rww: it doesn't seem to work :( can I pastebin? [05:06] phixxor: sure [05:06] BlueBomber7: Your way didn't work with avant-window-navigator. Do I need that period before the & ? [05:06] john38: I use skype v2.1 fine in ubuntu 10.04 and only one of my webcams works with it, seems my old cam still uses v4l1 and skype now only likes v4l2, skype has limited support being it's not open source [05:06] my command is thus: rsync -avz --delete --exclude '.DS_Store' /Users/Shared/iTunes/iTunes\ Music patrick@phixtop-linux:/home/patrick/music/iTunes\ Music [05:06] OttifantSir, i dont think you need the "." before the "&" [05:07] phixxor: I've never used rsync remotely, at all. I suspect it's slightly more complicated than that, though? [05:07] OttifantSir: I don't think AWN takes a directory argument. The full-stop (.) means the current directory. [05:07] sacarlson, that could be it [05:07] OttifantSir: That was just an argument I passed to nautilus. [05:07] rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/557974/ i don't know :/ i hope its not [05:07] sacarlson, i got another problem with another computer [05:07] sacarlson, my sound is disabled [05:07] how do I found out the "path" to the drive I just plugged in? ie sda1 sdb... [05:08] chd: mount [05:08] OttifantSir, if you wanted to start firefox it would be ">> firefox &" [05:08] does anyone in here know how to make XIRC choose a different port on startup?? just wondering cuz my school blocks port 8001 which is my default for freenode [05:08] chd: man mount [05:08] zek152: I need to pipe it? [05:09] chd, fdisk -l [05:09] OttifantSir, no sorry the ">>" just meant your prompt. [05:09] zek152: $ [05:10] arg [05:10] phixxor: heh. two thoughts: 1) make sure /home/patrick/music/ already exists on the destination computer (and note case-sensitivity), 2) try using "/home/patrick/music/iTunes Music" (i.e., wrap it in quotes) instead. [05:11] phixxor, and use the IP number of the target machine instead of hostname in case that's the problem [05:11] needlez: if xirc is a client not sure why it uses port 8001, if you need a client access from school then there are web irc sites [05:11] Unlisted link to NEW Zeitgeist: http://youtu.be/-Sii0X2p0J4 [05:11] zek152, BlueBomber7, phixxor and rww: Again, thanks for your help. Shawn Powers of Linux Journal had a YouTube-video on bg and fg. I'll hunt that down because it was easy to do, just didn't remember it, but you reminded me of it, so I thank you even though "command &" don't work for AWN apparently [05:11] rww, ok -- i'm on the other compu now, gonna try switchign source and dest [05:11] msg nickserv identify just4me [05:11] oops [05:12] rww, heh, turns out music was Music [05:12] sacarlson, kk thanks [05:13] chaos2358: you may want to /msg nickserv set password newpassword after you identify ;) [05:13] thanks [05:13] I accidentally deleted the PPA package from my software sources... now i can't download, remove, and install ubantu software, including pidgin.... does anyone know how it can be fixed? [05:13] my cdrom won't auto mount how do i get it back again? [05:14] im running a dual boot laptop. ubuntu 10.10 and win xp. I also plug into my 50'' tv. win booted in windows if i close the lid while using tv as monitor the laptop screen goes blank. but when using ubuntu it does not it stays illuminated. i already have power management settings configured to blank screen but it doesnt work. can someone help me? [05:14] rww already did but thanks [05:14] ok forget the wol stuff im over that.... how about a way to start vnc service at boot? [05:15] rww, it's working now :) does rsync go faster if -v is not enabled? [05:15] also can someone explain to me how to use wget to get an image from a site like facebook? or can it even get images from these types of sites since the page uses javascript. Also I have Greasemonkey and have a addon script for greasemonkey to do wget but it doesn't work or I don't understand it. [05:15] phixxor1: it seems to for me when I'm running it locally on small files [05:17] needlez: right click the image, copy image location. wget *paste image location here* [05:17] needlez: i think you you would need the excact addr to picture you wanted to wget [05:17] maco: ok I get that part but what if I want to get all images at once from a page?? [05:17] yeah what he said to [05:18] rww what the hell man? [05:18] needlez: youd need all the URLs. i think personally i'd write a script in python with BeautifulSoup.py to grab the URLs of all the images in the album and spit them out / pass them to wget [05:18] chaos2358: sorry, I got ghost and release mixed up *shrugs* [05:18] galamar: what I do is have my system autologin to my main account and if I want to vnc into it I ssh in first and enable vnc from ssh [05:19] meaning you were trying to hide my posts? whats the diff? [05:19] chaos2358: you should perhaps actually change your password. [05:19] maco: ooo ok, was wondering if I'd have to write a script for this, thank you, I'll check into what you suggested thank you again [05:19] rww i did change my password but why were you trying to ghost me? [05:19] needlez: i suggest BeautifulSoup because it can make sense of even malformed HTML and get you a usable DOM tree [05:20] sacarlson: i dont know how to ssh tunnel nut i got it working without ssh. [05:20] galamar: I use this command from my ssh session http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266981 [05:20] but* [05:20] galamar: I don't tunnel I just enable it [05:20] rww im waiting [05:20] phixxor1: not long. I was about to point it out ;) [05:20] haha ty [05:21] maco: thank you for all your help, sounds like a pretty sweet thing this BeautifulSoup thing [05:21] rww im asking you why you were trying to ghost me [05:21] What's the easiest way to rip an ISO to an AVI via the command line?

[05:21] chaos2358: i dont see rww saying for you to ghost at all, just to set a new password since you revealed yours [05:22] galamar: YOu will need to forward ports from your router's configuration. [05:22] chaos2358: oh nevermind. i get it now.

It has limitless customization options. === Mkaysi-phone is now known as Sipybot [05:57] I can't run compositing [05:57] thauriswulfa, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joomla === Sipybot is now known as Supybot [05:57] Does emerald require compositing? [05:57] Yes === Supybot is now known as Mkaysi-phone [05:58] Didn't know that ;) [05:58] john38: to bring up alsa mixer Application>Sound & video>GNOME ALSA Mixer this assumes you have already installed it [05:58] haha, you people and your awesome machines [05:58] o_o [05:58] I run xcompmgr or turn on metacity compositing and I get artifacts everywhere [05:58] I don't know about metacity theming; I barely know about emerald skinning. I usually grab the default theme and run with it for an hour or so, customizing. [05:58] sacarlson, how do i test my microphone? [05:59] BlueBomber when I ran linux on my mac I used emerald, it's nice and fun to theme [05:59] I don't understand the metacity stuff much, and was just hoping someone might have something like what I wanted laying around [05:59] what I have now works, I just every now and then think, man, those are some thick borders! [05:59] john38: I would try record sound with qrecord or VLC [05:59] how do i get xubuntu in gnome ubuntu? [06:00] xubuntu-desktop [06:00] except then you'll have a lot of stuff you might not need... [06:01] how do i get gmate for gedit? [06:01] sacarlson, since i dont have pulseaudio anymore and no sound applet...i just want to see if microphone is working [06:01] whats better for old people. ubuntu or gentoo? [06:01] pooky: one way to reduce the title bar size..is reduce the title bar font size! [06:01] sacarlson, i dont want to record music [06:01] FloatingGoat: depends on how much you hate old people [06:02] pooky lolololol [06:02] FloatingGoat: My grandma uses Xubuntu on her decade-old Compaq. [06:02] john38: sorry it's qarecord and with that you can record any source including your mic [06:02] FloatingGoat: I'd say ubuntu for ease of use, but that assumes computer illiteracy or desire [06:02] BlueBomber7: can she really use it? [06:03] You're in #ubuntu, so unsurpringly, the consensus will be Ubuntu ;) [06:03] unsurprisingly [06:03] FloatingGoat: Do we exchange emails? Yes. Does the browse the internet? Yes. Has she her Mahjongg? Yes. Does she script with bash? Not yet. [06:03] john38: see http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/qarecord [06:03] testing [06:04] if the hardest thing i've ever don in ubuntu was manually install a nvidea driver then is arch linux right for me? [06:04] ok.... i need some help with installing ubuntu [06:04] i have a friend in here thats having the issue [06:04] i finally got him in here lol [06:05] jessie what is the issue? [06:05] hey all, what's the best way to add a bash file to start applications? [06:05] ubuntu you cant have that name [06:05] pooky: make the title bar font 0...may be that'll help! [06:05] goat my friend is going to tell you what the problem is [06:05] FloatingGoat: they can, actually [06:05] pooky: size* [06:05] sacarlson, wont record my voice [06:05] hello? [06:05] bonjoyee: did you see the screenshot? [06:05] i need help [06:05] badly [06:05] sacarlson, i just need a way to tell ubuntu to use my microphone as default sound input [06:05] bonjoyee: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/134382/Screenshot.png [06:05] im haveing the one whos having the install probs [06:05] john38: did you open the alsa mixer and unmute the mic? [06:06] i just installed ubuntu [06:06] and the sound hates me [06:06] awhitehatter, browse to it through the manager command [06:06] sacarlson, yeah its unmuted [06:06] ive tried everything i can find [06:06] john38: also look in capture settings [06:06] ubuntu what is the install problem? maybe people in here can help [06:06] floating goat im jessies friend [06:06] nit-wit, so are saying I can just add an entry of \path\my\script in start apps command? [06:07] awhitehatter, no use the add then browse to the bash and double click. [06:08] I can only run ubuntu if I run from the cd and select my language, hit F6 and select nomodeset. other wise I get a black screen and my moniter says no signal [06:08] sacarlson, i think im supposed to be to open System>Preferences>Sound but i cant [06:08] please help? [06:08] nit-wit, thanks!!! [06:08] sacarlson, i dont think thats normal [06:08] I tried to install but all i get is a black screen when I reboot [06:09] awhitehatter, you were correct with the path this is just easier. [06:09] john38: I assume you still have pulseaudio uninstalled that will only work in pulseaudio [06:09] ubuntu: then add nomodeset to the kernel line on the installed system and try again [06:09] sacarlson, yep [06:09] john38: so you must then use alsa mixers [06:09] hi. should i format the disk to ext4 before raiding or not? [06:09] so.... yeah? [06:09] sacarlson, but now computer doesnt know to use microphone as default input [06:10] sacarlson, gnome alsa mixer doesnt help [06:10] john38: try gstreamer-properties === Termana_ is now known as Termana [06:10] I tried it boots up but all I get a black screen and command lines [06:11] john38: some applications will not apperate without pulseaudio or you will have to custom set them up to use it [06:11] hi. should i format the disk to ext4 before doing raid1 or its ok if not? [06:12] john38: bonjoyee: good idea try gstreamer_properties as bonj* suggested [06:12] i am wondering why all of a sudden my screen is going to screensaver yet i have steaming video playing. i have checked my power management and i am using ac plug and i set it to never go out yet it keeps fading after like 5 minutes and enters into screensaver mode. how can i resolve this dilema? [06:12] sacarlson, in gstreamer-properties im able to test microphone by choosing alsa and usb audio for device [06:12] bucky: thanx a lot you saved me frm trouble [06:13] hello all [06:13] john38: there mission acomplished === cmojallali is now known as XN [06:13] sacarlson, so thats all i need huh is gstreamer-properties [06:13] well, I need some help with black screen on latest snapshot of livecd [06:13] john38: that's only for gstreamer applications but yes [06:14] sacarlson, this stuff is a pain [06:14] sacarlson, as long as i got sound and skype works [06:15] john38: I don't think skype is a gstreamer application but I could be wrong [06:15] maco are you still there? [06:15] I don't think so [06:15] sacarlson, skype sound options has my quickcam in dropdown list [06:15] about skype [06:15] nevermind i resolved my issue. [06:15] Greetings .. would anyone have a minute to look over an Iptable port forwarding config that I cant seem to get working? http://pastebin.com/RPUigjWS [06:16] john38: skype has a sound test if you want to know if your mic works on that [06:16] sacarlson, yeah i tried it works [06:16] what is considered as idle in screensaver? [06:17] define idle for screensaver someone. [06:17] sacarlson, cant fully test it until i video chat === Guest72970 is now known as vlad [06:17] guess not.. ok.. i just reinstalled ubuntu 10.10.. i installed the alsa backports for maveric, yet i still dont have any audio, has anyone had any problems with this? i have an SND-HDA-Intel card, my system says the codec is ALC-259 [06:17] don't touch keyboard and mouse... that's idle :-) [06:17] sambagirl: no keyboard/mouse activity..i think [06:17] john38: I hate to over complicate but skype isn't the only video chat software avalable [06:17] so streaming is not considered idle. ok thanks [06:18] sacarlson, yeah i know but everyone i know uses skype [06:18] are there any commandline webbrowsers? [06:18] streaming isn't idle for screensaver [06:18] amh345: lynx [06:18] ok thanks [06:18] amh345: w3m is included by default in ubuntu. there's also lynx, links2, etc. [06:18] sacarlson, i mean unless i could use another video chat program to skype [06:19] thanks guys. [06:19] installing stuff without X running is kinda fun just sayin [06:19] aptitude [06:19] john38: no skype protocal is propriatary, no other software works with it except skype at this time [06:19] sacarlson, but i think only skype to skype works [06:19] HEY!!!!!! I NEED HELP!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!! HLEP!!!! NO SOUND DV7 [06:19] wow. this is what commanline browsers look like ?? heh. i love it. [06:20] well, last pidgin supports text skype [06:20] lynx is really really really old school [06:20] well, it works :-) [06:20] hey samba girl are you actually a female? [06:20] yes [06:21] If I need to specify "Location" for Fire Fox, to specify it to Eclipse, what location am I looking for? [06:21] :O [06:21] not that its much of your business.... [06:21] I forgot how I managed that my Ubuntu computer calls the 'most' command if I type 'man lsof' and shows the lsof manpage colorful. How to accomplish this? [06:21] well, location is where you are :-) === FloatingGoat is now known as Motore [06:21] sacarlson, isnt the sound applet in Preferences the main configuration for sound input and ouput [06:21] do these browsers all look more or less like w3m? is there a choice one? [06:21] srsly? [06:21] and i guess if your going to use lynx you might as well use vi :) [06:21] can we please help me [06:21] are you good with install paroblems? [06:22] ive tried everything that i can find [06:22] bullgard4: set the $PAGER variable in your .bashrc [06:22] I won't blame vi for it's existence [06:22] vi is hidious [06:22] by the way emacs was used to get browser also, but it's for perverts :-) [06:23] jessie iu have installed ubuntu many times but I do not know much about your specific problem. I saw earlier that someone said to add it to the end of the command line, did that work? [06:23] john38: it's only the default method in ubunu [06:23] my ubuntu inside VirtualBox got hang after disk full for its VDI file, now disk space is available, but the mouse cursor is not responding anymore, any suggestions? [06:23] sacarlson, gstreamer-properties is method for Alsa [06:23] sacarlson, ? [06:23] Hello samba-3.5.6.tar.gz download and install it source3, but I do not see anything? that more needs to be done [06:23] my buddy is in the room who is having the issues, his name is Ubuntu (he is the purple name) [06:24] he cant change it lol [06:24] hyde_ that really is a virtualbox channle problem [06:24] is it too much to ask to be able to use a mouse with these textbased browsers?or can i install mouse drivers? [06:24] hes gona pm you [06:24] jessie i will be right back [06:24] k [06:24] john38: gstreamer-properties is the method for gstreamer that can connect to alsa, oss, pulse, jackd..... [06:24] nope [06:24] virtualbox now working fine, ubuntu is the one that is not working [06:25] amh345: no way [06:25] and if your going to use lynx and vi you might as well use pine [06:25] kva: ok, no problem. i can nav easily with up/down [06:25] sambagirl: you're too sarcastic :-) [06:25] hyde_ no ubuntu isnt working due to limits that were originally assigned to the ubuntu vm in reality. [06:25] the page where are the steps is to install samba is........http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639636 [06:25] wow, i LOVE how fast 'back' works. i wish ff was that fast. [06:25] I <3 Pine [06:25] kva :) [06:26] Pine was good, mutt turned out better [06:26] sacarlson, ok heres this if...i disable alsa in gstreamer-properties will i still be able to use microphone and speakers in skype [06:26] gnea what is mutt? [06:26] yep, I agree Gnea [06:26] like pine but better [06:26] i am installing it now [06:26] sambagirl, that limit is gone now, shouldn't ubuntu adapt itself? [06:27] i would think so but i would ask someone in #virtualbox about it to be perfectly honest with you. if i knew the solution i would sure tell you but i dont. [06:27] Hello download samba-3.5.6.tar.gz and install it source3, but I do not see anything? that more needs to be done [06:27] sambagirl: you've got to be kidding me, it's 2011... [06:27] pine is deprecated. use alpine [06:28] gnea i just install it and it works! [06:28] anyway install emacs and you'll get it all in one package, mail, browser and chess and all in text mode :-) [06:28] sambagirl: I wouldn't recommend something that doesn't :) [06:28] john38: we now know skype is not a gstreamer application so it maters not what you have gstreamer-properties set to see gstreamer applications that will be effected here: http://www.gstreamer.net/apps/ [06:28] someone install samba-3.5.6.tar.gz? steps, page????? [06:28] seriously, I was using mutt back in '98 [06:29] gnea i just send myself a msg let me see if i get it brb [06:29] the .muttrc makes things pretty nice once it's all setup the way you like it [06:29] me too :-) [06:29] Ramir00: you should use the samba package instead of compile [06:29] Ramir00: did you unzip and compile? [06:29] it worked gnea [06:29] Ramir00: we don't recommend compiling, everything's all setup for you [06:30] !samba | Ramir00 [06:30] Ramir00: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [06:30] sure it worked :-) [06:30] Ramir00: try the command apt-get install samba [06:30] hyde_ if bad comes to worst just remake the vm again. [06:30] sacarlson: audacity's not on that list..yet it depends on gstreamer-properties settings.....so theres more to it! [06:31] bonjoyee: is skype effected then? [06:31] sacarlson, obviously my computer is using my audio chipset driver because it recognizes it in skype options [06:31] sacarlson follows these steps..http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639636.....just install source3 [06:31] well, you're really sure that you haven't muted your sound? [06:32] sacarlson, only after i uninstall pulseaudio [06:32] samba of repository have bug with windows 7 [06:32] problem samba old with w7 [06:32] sacarlson: it has to be...as far as i know ..gstreamer relates to encoding/decoding part..and gstreamer-properties takes care of audio sinks... [06:33] sacarlson, but does it make a diffrence selecting pulseaudio or quickcam as option [06:35] sacarlson, ? [06:36] understand? [06:36] hi guys. is anyone here able to assist with a PulseAudio setup from the CLI, please? I think everyone @ the #PulseAudio room is either dead or asleep [06:36] ok,,,i go to sleep, bye [06:36] sacarlson: john38: http://library.gnome.org/users/gstreamer-properties/stable/gstreamer-properties-usage.html.en [06:36] i have dream [06:37] chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/share/themes/SlicknesS-black/Slickness-black.jpg': Operation not permitted [06:37] 3:36 am bye [06:37] ?? :S [06:37] what should i do ? [06:37] kieppie: what's your problem? [06:37] bonjoyee: as seen in this post (but might be old) There's currently no way to enable Skype sound through GStreamer. You better disable GStreamer and use direct ALSA or OSS method described above. http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/support/user-guides/sound-setup-linux/ [06:37] i have to ask a question about mutt. if i send using mutt it doesnt give details about the sender. it just gives sambagirl@sambagirl and that is it. [06:37] Descriptioned: prepend the command with: sudo [06:38] hi kva: thanks for the response. [06:38] I'm running a *very* system (Lucid 64. only X; no windows manager or desktop), with XBMC & MPD. I've been pushing XBMC's audio out via the HDMI OK, & have now added a new PCI card, a Sound Blaster CA0106, that I want to pipe MPD to, that I am unable to get going on ALSA (loooong story), so now I'm using PA, since there's indications that PA handles it OK. [06:38] **skinny** [06:38] with mutt you can send anonymous emails :D [06:38] Descriptioned: used sudo? [06:39] yes working thants ActionParsnip [06:39] well, sambagirl you found a bit of happiness :-) [06:39] kieppie: creative cards can be a nightmare to get going [06:39] kva i found something very very good :) [06:39] kva: I'd be happy if I could use ALSA (much less complicated or resource-overhead), but ALSA has trouble with the card (drive, I think) [06:39] a hint, there's simple "mail" [06:39] sambagirl: the smtp protocol requires that all headers be written with accurate information. [06:40] i hate all of you. [06:40] gnea but i cannot reply back to sambagirl@sambagirl [06:40] you assholes [06:40] didnt even try to help me [06:40] not even a fucking minimal effort [06:40] what is the problem conner_? [06:40] die [06:40] connor_: your presence is not required here with that attitude. [06:40] sorry, kieppie, I can't help [06:40] ActionParsnip: it's the market standard. it realy should not be. the ALSA issue on this card looks like it goes back about 6 years, which is very telling re the hardware-support [06:40] wow! [06:40] Descriptioned: the file is outside $HOME. 9 times outta 10 if you want to manipulate these you will need sudo [06:40] actually i know how conner feels i feel exactly like that when i leave #sme-fr channel for sme server support ;) [06:41] thanks for trying anyway, kva: I appreciate you taking the time. [06:41] sambagirl: but the IP is sent with it. surely you know a thing or two about spam? [06:41] anyone in here ever install gnome on a VPS? [06:41] sacarlson, but does it make a diffrence selecting pulseaudio or quickcam as option? [06:41] enchante, sambagirl :-) [06:41] gnea but i sent email to gmail and details dont reveal anything. [06:41] sacarlson, in skype [06:41] sambagirl: perhaps you didn't look close enough [06:41] and gnea it wont let me reply to that address [06:41] rww: On the Ubuntu computer that shows 'man lsof' colorful: '~$ echo $PAGER' does not obtain any output and I cannot find in ~.bashrc a string 'PAGER'. So I must have solved this task differently. [06:42] sure it won't it's not a complete adress [06:42] john38: you should know you can't select pulseaudio unless you install it [06:42] kva that is my point it is anonymous [06:42] ActionParsnip: on system pref>apereance> i get an error message, "this theme will not look as intended because the required icon theme blac-white_2-Stule' is not installed. [06:42] looks like you haven't set up the domain name :-) [06:42] john38: if in dought try it [06:42] sambagirl: next to 'reply' there is a down-arrow, click on it, then click on 'show original' [06:42] ActionParsnip & kva: where could I find assistance on the issue. It *really* should not be this difficult or complicated [06:42] sambagirl: in gmail [06:43] kieppie: where credible does it say they are any standard. Creative refuses to work with the community and will not make drivers. It is entirely Creative's fault [06:43] bullgard4: another option is "sudo update-alternatives --config pager" [06:43] no idea, kieppie [06:43] sacarlson, i know obviously i tried it with bad results but i havent tested it with new configuration [06:43] sacarlson, just have to see and wait [06:43] bullgard4: (you'd run that and it sets the systemwide pager) [06:43] hello, guys! i istalled xubuntu-desktop and now i want to remove it. is just "sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop" enough? [06:43] yep your right i see the ip address listed just fine. [06:44] how's everyone doing? [06:44] asfjio: no.... [06:44] asfjio: nopt [06:44] Descriptioned: then the theme has a hole with a part of the desktop not getting themed [06:44] asfjio: its just a metapackage...you have to remove all packages that came with it! [06:44] well, it won't uninstall it all but it can broke your system [06:44] ActionParsnip: I understand what you mean, but much the same could be said for ATI or nVidia. We *nix'ers have a long-running tradition of *making* things work for us, especially if it's such a dominant & historical market-leader as Creative [06:45] ActionParsnip: my theme changed... it says same error with all themes i try, but they change.. [06:45] sambagirl: there's this philosophy that I live by: learn or burn. :) [06:45] bonjoyee: how to do it? [06:45] kieppie: i'd moan at Creative [06:45] gnea i understand perfectly. [06:45] Gnea: How do you mean? [06:45] asfjio: its more complicated than it sounds!.. [06:45] kva: why is that? when i don't need the window manager why should i keep it? [06:45] gnea i could have made a big mistake [06:45] Us3r_Unfriendly: it's relative. [06:46] sambagirl: sure [06:46] then remove it [06:46] Gnea: no I mean what do you mean by learn or burn? [06:46] kieppie: nvidia have given flawless support the 10 years I've used Linux [06:46] Us3r_Unfriendly: it's a personal philosophy, only meant to reference it here. detailed explanations would be off-topic. [06:47] kva: no i'm just asking if there is a reason why a package should broke something in the system. [06:47] anyone know if there's a channel for terminal commands? [06:47] Gnea: okay cool [06:47] what he means is if you do something without learning what your doing first you could end up being burned by what you did because you did not learn before you burned. [06:47] asfjio: just don't try it, it's a joke "sudo rm -Rf /" is a way to remove it :-) [06:47] bonjoyee: isn't there some dependencies rules to catch all the packages and don't hurt gnome? [06:47] yes, that is one interpretation. [06:47] sambagirl: that's why I like ubuntu and most distros that use have the man pages [06:47] gnea i know what you meant [06:48] seriously you can uninstall the meta-package, but it won't remove packages [06:48] kva: might have to remove them yourself [06:48] kva: if i left, then probably i tried it (kidding) :) [06:48] hey guys i have lost the sound icon from my top menu bar, i am using gnome === windAwy is now known as windkids [06:48] asfjio: you have to pin-point the part in the logs where you started the xfce install...you have synaptic? [06:48] sambagirl: teddy bears for you :) [06:48] us3r_unfriendly man is practically useless today in my opinion. [06:48] that is the speaker icon [06:48] Hi [06:48] google is faster [06:48] kieppie: you'll also find more users use realtek or intel sound chips due to onboard sound and netbooks. Making them easily the market leaders [06:48] bears [06:48] ha === juxta_ is now known as juxta [06:48] I need some help with Ubuntu -__- [06:48] i want money man [06:48] !info gnome-panel reset | pratz [06:48] pratz: 'reset' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, jaunty, jaunty-backports, jaunty-proposed, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, natty, natty-backports, natty-proposed, partner, stable, testing, unstable [06:49] man works great when there is no internet connection [06:49] help [06:49] so i used it on Virtual machine.. [06:49] and loved it and all [06:49] that's not what i meant [06:49] !panel-reset | pratz [06:49] Yowzers: what's your problem? [06:49] ... huh. [06:49] but now i wanna install it side by side to Windows cuz windows quite frankly eats my up 6GB of ram in an instant -__- [06:49] how i can download some extra effects>animations? for compiz ? [06:49] !panelreset | pratz [06:49] pratz: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:49] bonjoyee: "Synaptic Package Manager", yes i do. [06:49] yay! [06:49] so i downloaded the desktop windows installer [06:49] Yowzers: please use a single line to outline your issue [06:49] thanks rww [06:49] yowzers use that utility they have [06:50] and ran it, but after reboot when i select Ubuntu from the bootloader menu it says root not found :( [06:50] it runs in windows and creates some kind of bootable enviornment [06:50] ActionParsnip: well, I've put in a *lot* of hours & hard work getting my media center going. It is a *very* sad state of affairs if I need to consider running windows on this host because the (device) support I'm getting sucks so much. [06:50] This Creative card is the one I got, because it 's a pretty decent PCI card for the $$$.

[08:08] is there any underclocking tools without the need of installing the drivers? [08:08] but then why I try to install lsb, it wants to install all of those crazy depencendies along with it (rpm, alien, etc etc) [08:09] Mehrzad: i think you can underclock with the opensource drivers.

[08:19] my hard disk size is 120 gb, it is empty, I want to use 50 gb for ubuntu, how do i specify sizes in "create new partition" window during installation [08:19] boudiccas: lookin at rsnapshot, thank you [08:20] delete all the partitions, and start creating new ones [08:20] dear red2kic, i want to do this manually, because i want to sety this up in such a way that this tablet pc performs optimally [08:20] cfedde:I've transferred my files from an external harddrive to my main computer, and I' would like to sync them in future [08:20] dear staar2, there are no partitions in the new hard disck at the moment [08:21] the start creating new ones, [08:21] make swamp and one for root / [08:21] i am on a window that says "create new partition" the optiobns are primary and locical [08:21] also you can make separate partition for /home [08:21] cfedde: that is, I've already got files copied which are identical, however rsync does not overwrite them [08:21] obviously i need to chose primary [08:22] cfedde: I mean skip [08:22] yes [08:22] from out of 120 gb I will set 50 Gb and define the mout point as / [08:22] ? [08:22] and this as a ext 4, primary? [08:23] iiname: There are nothing performance-wise about setting up partitions in size, just the question of space. If you're going to use suspend/hibernate, you want to double your current RAM size for swap. Put 10GB for / (root). [08:23] iiname, right [08:23] boudiccas: looks like rsnapshot only does files not the whole disk and the partition table, etc, I want to back up my remote system and reformat the system and put a put the image back on? know any utility, [08:23] iiname, what are you doing with other 70 GB ? [08:23] thanks red2kic, I will put 10 gb, primary, ext 4 for mountpoint / [08:23] iiname: And create a different partition /home -- to keep it seperate from your /root -- should you decide to use a different linux OS. You can preserve your personal and home files that way. [08:24] i will reserve it to try a solaris installation [08:24] dear red2kic, can you guide me step by step? [08:24] iiname: If you don't care for seperate home parititon, then you could use 50GB in / (root). It'll put everything on one partition. [08:24] I am on the "create new partition window" in the installation [08:25] no i iwll have a separate home [08:25] red2kic, yeah the /home for different part is best option if you gonna have other linuxes [08:25] Hey #ubuntu! Quick question -- any reason not to use the daily build version of Natty over Alpha 1? [08:25] then I will use 10 gb primary ext 4 with the mount point / for a start? [08:26] iiname: That is fine. You want to use ext2 for /boot. 100MB is sufficent. [08:26] iiname: I would make an extended partition and have / be a logical partition within that. It will make adding partitions later easier. [08:28] first category is "/" and after that there is a "/boot" [08:30] The package ttf-umefont, Japanese truetype fonts, is a 48MB download in the Update manager list. Well I am not a japanese, do I need this package? [08:31] jordan [08:31] The package ttf-umefont, Japanese truetype fonts, is a 48MB download in the Update manager list. Well I am not a japanese, do I need this package? [08:32] can i change each wallpaper while using the cube in ubuntu 10.10? ive bben searching forever and cant find it [08:32] drivin me crazy! lol [08:32] iiname: Unless you know you have a buggy BIOS there is no need for a separate /boot partition. [08:33] ipsec? [08:33] from out of 50 gb, if i choose for "/" as distinct from "/root", ext 2 for /, 100 MB (is that sufficient?) how much for /root, what ext type, what partition type for /root, primary or secondary? [08:33] jordan [08:33] I am not sure about the bios [08:33] it is an experimental tablet pc === olek_ is now known as olek23c [08:34] the bios looks pretty standard, but i am not sure [08:34] does anyone have any experience with Ubuntu and rolling your own AWS EC2 AMI? I'm having a problem with it, in that even if I use the Amazon custom kernel the virtual machine doesnt start properly. It 'comes' up and you can see the console and boot msgs, but it looks like it is having probs with netdev,etc. - The same process works find if I use a standard Debian install and debootstrap. [08:34] wtf i had sdb set to boot in bios and the installer overwrote my bootloader on sda WTF [08:34] so if it is safer to have a separate /boot partition, i should create a seaparate one [08:34] * chris_bsd has got no BIOS [08:34] how to remove gnome-keyring completly because it started to annoy me to much [08:34] whats the best way to get full control of a remote system, I mean even before boot. I am thinking of getting a modem with wake on LAN function, any one got better options. Usually there is no one at the other end, thats why I need absolute control over the process. I really do not want to leave the system on all the time. [08:35] that's really irritating [08:35] now where is the 'restore original bootlader that grub should not have overwritten' script [08:35] yeah right [08:35] iiname: Most modern (made in the last 5 years) BIOSs don't have the particular bug that requires you to have a separate /boot partition. I'd recommend not creating one. [08:36] alket: apt-get remove --purge [08:36] jetscreamer: grub or grub2? [08:36] 2 [08:36] default install [08:36] jetscreamer: what did it take out? windows? [08:37] jsut the windows bootloader [08:37] jordan_u, iiname: why not put everything in _one_ partition? [08:37] jetscreamer: yeah, that's something I noticed the other day - did the same thing, when it came time to write to the MBR, it defaulted to sda when it should have been sdb, since sdb is what the install device was, but it didn't, so I had to go back and manually say "put it on sdb" [08:38] yeh i always put it in one partition [08:38] Anyone know why I'm having such a hard time installing Hamachi? Running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, saying it has an unmet dependency on lsb, then wants to install tons of dependencies (like rpm?!) [08:38] jetscreamer: I wouldn't worry about it - just make sure sdb is the first boot device and it should find and allow you to boot into windows, then you can just fixmbr [08:38] Gnea: hmm.. i even went to the trouble of having it boot from sdb so it would get written to the boot drive [08:39] guys, i have a problem while playing mp3 files. i installed audacious to play mp3 files and now the quality is awful. should i install some codec? [08:39] chris062689: help says it needs LSB 3 or 4, install that first, after that it should work like a breeze. I am very impressed. [08:39] asfjio: audacious *does* have an equalizer [08:39] asfjio: and it *does* support winamp equalizer preset files [08:40] Gnea: i had go back and put it to boot from sda to even see a bootloader :) [08:40] Gnea: ok thanks [08:40] I tried doing that razz1, "sudo apt-get install lsb" and then it wants to install stuff like qt4, rpm, and alien. [08:40] jetscreamer: Gnea: Believe it or not that's how the installer is intended to work. The idea being that the first disk is usually the one the BIOS will boot from. There is no reliable way to tell the BIOS boot order from within a booted OS, and while I would prefer that they always installed grub to the same drive the rest of Ubuntu was installed to but... [08:40] jetscreamer: oh wow, is it booting windows? [08:40] yeah it boots, just took out the loader [08:40] awesome [08:40] and it's that new ms one that i don't know much about [08:41] chris062689: sorry, not sure why, I already had LSB installed with the 32 bit, did not have any issue running hamachi [08:41] jetscreamer: win7? [08:41] jetscreamer: The mbr portion of the Windows bootloader hasn't really changed since the DOS days. It still just chainloads the first partition marked "active". [08:41] Gnea: server2k8 but yeah iirc same thing [08:42] jetscreamer: well if it isn't even booting sdb, then you might as well keep it as is [08:43] yeh.. unless i wanna teke this drive out and put it in anothoer box [08:43] it stays for now [08:43] jetscreamer: I would just google up how to restore the mbr on 2k8 and bookmark it [08:44] i've done it once, i think... doing this with xp would be trivial for me [08:44] repairing it i mean [08:46] next time, it's 'physically disconnect hd' :) [08:46] lol that works [08:46] okay, so i'm in ubuntu, used modinfo radeon. what now? [08:47] hmmm.... seems ubuntu is the one that won't boot.. but it had to be able to read /boot/grub so ... hmmm... fresh install first boot [08:49] sam-_-?

(I would like to set up a ubuntu desktop with lightweight OpenBox desktop, and use network with CLI only, fed up with all those networkmanager and co) [08:57] hi winkey [08:58] hey, I've got a list of files I found using find . | grep apattern [08:58] I want to copy them all into ~/tmp [08:58] do I just pipe it all to cp at the end? [08:58] or is there another command? [08:58] sidh: just remove them and edit /etc/network/interfaces [08:59] auto eth0 works [08:59] theTrav, use the -exec parameter for find [09:00] maybe cp `find . | grep mypattern` ~/tmp ? [09:00] oh, thanks rumpe1 [09:00] jetscreamer: ok thanks, but what about ubuntu-server repos ? they are the same as 10.04 LTS ? [09:01] hmm, I don't understand it [09:01] theTrav, like find . -type f -iname bla -exec cp {} ~/tmp \; [09:01] I need to pipe the output of find to grep to filter it [09:02] sidh: i do not know for sure, but i 'believe' that all repos are the same for all versions, just what packages got installed make it a server... but i'm not positive. [09:02] theTrav, but first use echo instead of cp to check, if its correct... [09:02] ok I see, thanks you [09:02] oh, iname is the grep equivelent?

[09:10] grub rescue> _ [09:10] and yes it allows me to type [09:10] but i do not kno what commands to use [09:11] sheepdawg: Type "ls" then hit enter.

WHat are the additional requirements to use tsclient as a VNC viewer? [09:12] there were 250+ "updates" so i assume i DL'd 10.4 but im not 100% sure [09:13] it did most of the updates [09:13] then got to grub which said skip or inmstall. i saw C but didnt think it meant disc C [09:13] after that it restarted and that error comes up [09:14] sheepdawg: Does "insmod part_msdos" give any error message?

[09:18] sheepdawg: How did you install Ubuntu initially? How are you now trying to create the bootable USB, and what happens when you try to boot from it? [09:19] i originally installed while in Win7 using the install in windows option. The install worked fine. PC rebooted. Ubuntu was running. Then i got the "updates", restarted and the error happened [09:19] & I'm searching for an underclocker [09:19] i used no CD or USB [09:19] i would like to use my USB due to the CD burner being in the 'broken' PC [09:20] Mehrzad: don't get your hopes up, even the latest catalyst ones are bad for GPU intensive tasks, I think ATI implementation is called XvBA, doesn't hurt to try [09:20] sheepdawg: Ahh, that explains the problem then. There is a very serious bug in Wubi when you try to keep the Ubuntu image in a different partition than "C:". [09:21] like i said..its probablly very important(maybe?) the install worked fine. the updates all worked fine. i think however i installed Grub(Linuxs MBR?) on the C:(windows7) partition [09:21] i see === vikas_007sharma is now known as vikas [09:21] Mehrzad: is it a lappy?

[09:21] hey Jordan_U so would root (hd0,1) and all that work for him from the rexcue prompt then configure grub when in linux? [09:21] it was only after loading the Grub update, that the system bugged out. the original install fom the in windows went off withouty a hitch [09:21] sheepdawg: Do you have any bootable CDs of any kind?

[09:22] QUESTION: problems while installing tasksel in ubuntu 9.04 after removing Package tasksel has no available version, but exists in the database.

How did you create the bootable USB and what happens when you try to boot from it? [09:25] im fairly certain it can. the system is new. Gigabyte am3 board with 955 P2 BE [09:25] vikas: you don't want tasksel anyway [09:25] there are a few options however [09:25] well probably not [09:25] let me get those for you [09:26] jetscreamer:what you mean by sayin that i want tasksel but if its necessary to upgrade i'll giv it a try [09:26] usb-fdd, usb-cdrom- usb-hdd, usb-zip [09:27] razz1: dunno what it really is, the gpu runs crysis smooth when underclocking and doesn't overheat [09:27] sheepdawg: Make sure you select usb-hdd.

[09:39] Taravel, also dd will not create an iso image file, it will create a raw dump which is known as .img format [09:40] yup [09:40] sheepdawg: Then something likely went wrong in creating it. Try using unetbootin. [09:40] Hi can someone help me. Im experimenting with Wine, and im trying to get a windows aplication working, and when I dobble click on the EXE, it says this: is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. ? Sorry im confused, [09:40] mm ok so I first unmount the 2 devices and than use /dev/xxx ? and not .iso but .img? [09:41] Taravel, even if you made the .img.. dd can dump it to whatever extension for the file you desire but the outputted format will always be the same [09:41] ok i will recreate it using unetbootin. i DL the Windows version....and Ubuntu 10.10 client iso correct? [09:42] <_Rno_> how I can debug a gnome session closed while resuming from suspend / hibernation? [09:42] it should work [09:42] Eagle- rmb on the icon- properties - permissions - allow executing [09:42] I don't think its called client sheepdawg there's desktop, alternative and server [09:42] Eagle: right click on the exe file and take properties [09:42] ok but how can I know what device under /dev are my hard disk and my usb drive? [09:42] how do i sinatll firefox 4 beta downloaded from firefox website? i want to replace it as the defaul webbrowser! [09:42] sintall/install* [09:42] Taravel, before umounting you might want to check it with mount [09:43] eagel: look for "permissions" and check as executable. [09:43] Distribution Ubuntu 10.04 Live(is the default it chose) [09:43] here is where i am lost as i forget what version a used [09:43] 10.4 or 10.10 [09:43] sheepdawg: you might also do an md5sum of your ubuntu??.iso file to verify it's validity [09:44] eagle: u there [09:44] Hi i'm using 11.04 Natty and tried to run Vmware player but it demands to compile linux headers. Command uname -r shows 2.6.32-25-generic. I cant build-essentials through apt-get: Unable to locate package linux-headers-2.6.32-25-generic. But i can see that in usr/scr/ i have more newer version of linux-headers - 2.6.35-25. So the question is should i somehow update my linux-headers to a newer verion? If no - how what should i do to run wm [09:44] player? If yes - how can do it? thnx [09:45] Diskimage ISO...not Floppy i assume. [09:45] can you help me i have a problem with sound in aa game????????? [09:45] sheepdawg: Yes. [09:46] I tryed mount and so I wrote this commend: dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/sdc1/USB-Ubuntu1010-Vanilla+Updates.img is it correct? [09:46] yruss: Can you ask your question in #ubuntu+1, thats the support chanell for Natty while its being developed, they should be able to help/advise you [09:46] can you help meplease ??? [09:46] Hello :) Now this never happened to me before... maybe someone can help. I have a directory called X and if I try to create a new file by that name, I can't. vim -> :sav X ; results in E17: "/root/X" is a directory. How can I create a new file by that name when there is a directory by that name as well? [09:47] out of curiosity ,whether my text entering here? [09:47] yruss: Just be aware, it can be a slow channel so it might take longer to get a response, but as the people there are most likely to be using natty, theres more chance of a version specific response [09:47] I know the USB Startup Disk Creator in 10.04/10.10 are incompatible, but can I make a 10.04 USB from 10.10 using UNetBootin? [09:47] OK the unetbootin is made. i am going to try to see if it will load off of it. 1 sec [09:48] sheepdawg: You cannot have two files with the same name in the same directory. Directories are themselves files. [09:48] shai__: you can't. a directory is just a special type of file, so X already exists [09:48] shai__: ^^ [09:48] ?????????????????? [09:48] Dear god does anyone here have any WHMCS experience???? I have been working nearly 4 hours to fix something [09:48] How can I flush my local DNS cache on Ubuntu 10.04? [09:48] shai__, you can't [09:49] DJones - thnx i'll try. But can you explain me please- does the version of linux-headers depends on what version of ubuntu u have? [09:49] syddraf: There is none by default in Ubuntu (though your browser may do some DNS caching itself). [09:49] anybody? [09:49] !anybody | elricsfate [09:49] elricsfate: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:50] syddraf: local dns on bind9? [09:50] mmm when I unmount (from nautilus) the usb pen it was deleted from the /dev directory and dd command tells me that /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist === Guest32972 is now known as marcelo-fr-br [09:50] yruss: Its not something I'm certain of, but I think that linux headers are specific to the kernel thats being used [09:50] http://www.havoxhosting.com/billing Can anyone tell me what is causing that? Thats the big question [09:50] yruss: puppy: Sorry for the delay, yes got it working thanks.... [09:50] sacarlson: I don't have bind9 installed. I'm trying to clear the about:dns page in Chromium, a friend instructed me that it was showing the system's local cache, so I've been digging around various places. [09:52] elricsfate: The link to your CSS file is broken. [09:52] djones - ok- try to get more information on this linux conception question. :) [09:52] ok i am back...nothing. It is Deffinately first on the priortity list(BEFORE my HDD) and i still get the same error message. does unet autoformat? or shoudl i format the USBdrive to Fat32 then try unet again? [09:52] Taravel: "eject" does more than just unmount the filesystem, it also shuts off the USB drive (you need to remove it and plug it back in to get it back). [09:52] elricsfate: on line 6 of the HTML code, there is a space after the base href, remove it and it should work [09:53] sheepdawg: Have you tried booting the USB drive on the computer you created it with? [09:53] "ls" still shows hd0, hd1, and fd0 [09:53] no [09:53] hahah...i guess let me try that huh? [09:53] for some odd reason it doesnt show up as with info on it [09:54] syddraf: Holy frikkin crap let me find that and try it. Thank you. [09:54] its just called Removable Media G [09:54] then when u click says it needs to be formatted [09:56] llutz, rumpe1, Jordan_U: thanks :) [09:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/558031/ can any one plz look at this problem my ubuntu 10.10 got some issue with update [09:56] syddraf: Any way of knowing which file I need to modify? There are a CRAP ton. [09:57] everytime i format the USB key to Fat 32...unetbootin hangs on 151-339 [09:57] hangs on files 151 of 339 [09:57] sheepdawg: There may be a problem with the flash drive, or with the iso image you downloaded. [09:57] elricsfate: what system are you using to build the website? [09:57] that you were looking at is whmcs [09:58] flash drive was full earlier nothing corrupted [09:58] the actual website is done by hand [09:58] let me re d/l the ISO [09:58] hi, my usb speakers stop working after suspend. How can I fix that ? [09:59] syddraf, [10:00] elricsfate: is there an option anywhere for "system url"? [10:01] come to think of it I think there is [10:01] in the cp for this [10:01] let me try that [10:01] wow [10:01] all that trouble [10:01] over ONE space [10:01] thank you SO much syddraf. [10:02] If your ever in need of hosting [10:02] let me know [10:02] elricsfate: no problem [10:02] can give you 10 percent discount or something [10:02] elricsfate: i run my own server box, but thanks for the offer. [10:02] your welcome [10:02] i love how i have 50M down speed...but im currently Dling 10.10 @ 330 kb/s [10:04] sheepdawg: change your mirror. MIT usually gets the best time for me === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [10:05] i dont see any option for mirror sites [10:06] im on ubuntu.com [10:09] lol, nvm...im an idiot. torrent will work jsut fine [10:09] 3.2 Mbps [10:09] lol [10:10] What could cause my system to be unbearably slow? This seems to most affect "window-intensive" operations. My graphics adapter is fast enough (as are compiz effects), I have enough RAM (1,5 GB IIRC) and my processor is good enough (2,5 GHz IIRC). What could be causing this? I think it has worsened as I've been using the system, but that could be just me growing annoyed... Any diagnostic help is appreciated! [10:11] Ileden, check for cpu-consuming processes (via top, htop) and check "dmesg"-output (or other relevant system protocolls) [10:12] rumpe1: no cpu-consuming processes, nothing weird at dmesg (though not all that sure I'd spot it if there was...) [10:12] Ileden: Leaking memory, perhaps? Run "top" -- Look at %CPU %MEM -- What does it say at top of the list? [10:12] this is off topic but is it possible my router will reset itself if the DL speed is too fast? [10:13] do you know if rovclock is ok for ati radeon 4800 series? [10:13] after quitting cairodock it still leaves a invisible bar on the bottom of my screen [10:13] sheepdawg, many things are possible... maybe? [10:13] I recall having had similar trouble before and the sort-of solution was to delete stuff from some gnome configuration files. IIRC it did help a bit, for a while, but that doesn't seem like a valid fix.... [10:14] haha. never had an issue before. today i got the new net, and its gone down 3 times...oh well...back OT. im making the USB key again..and will see if it will go on this PC...1 sec...thanks for the help guys, this is like a real bummer to not have my PC [10:14] anyone know? [10:14] red2kic: hmm, memory use seems pretty high? Mem: 2060952k total, 1924812k used, 136140k free, 410280k buffers [10:14] I feel lucky not to have your PC. [10:15] Ileden: Look under the white line. What does CPU say? [10:16] red2kic: xorg taking most of cpu, at around 5.0 [10:16] Ileden, high memory usage doesn't necessarily mean, it's not much free... the kernel reserves some mem for caches. compare "free && sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && free" [10:17] this affects operations like switching a view in Thunderbird, creating a new tab in chrome, opening a web page in chrome... [10:18] dammit [10:18] rumpe1: what do I look at from that output? [10:18] hangs at 151 of 339 [10:18] every time [10:18] hello [10:18] Ileden: Install htop to see colors. Might make things easier for you to read. [10:18] rumpe1: also, bash: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches: Permission denied [10:19] Ileden, the difference in respect to kernel cache .. also you have to use sudo [10:20] red2kic: htop installed [10:21] Ileden: Run "htop" -- Take a look at it. See if anything seems to be too high or consume large % of CPU/MEM. [10:21] when installing ubuntu didn't ask me for the root password. i gave it a password for admin account. is it the root password? [10:21] I'm sure I used to know this, but I can't recall: is there a command-line util that you could pipe text into and have it appear in the X clipboard? [10:21] sheepdawg: did you do an md5sum of the iso file? maybe your usb flash drive is bad? [10:21] last time i tried that didn't work [10:21] sorry scarlson..i saw you say that before. i dont know what that means [10:21] rumpe1: here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/558044/ [10:22] oh [10:22] wait [10:22] it moved [10:22] its moving [10:22] lol [10:22] sheepdawg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:22] drbobb: xclip ? [10:22] sheepdawg: It does sound like your flash drive is going bad. [10:22] huh? [10:22] ok my appologies. habbit from Steam and Aim [10:22] red2kic: no process over ~5% of use in either mem or cpu [10:23] Is there JRE/JVM optmization's are done in Ubuntu? [10:23] Ileden: Well, are you experiencing slow right now? [10:23] red2kic: yeah that's the one! thx :) [10:23] Ileden: When that happen, run "htop" and you can see it. :o [10:23] drbobb: No problem. :) [10:23] be right back [10:23] red2kic: yes, it's pretty much constant. and it does only effect the "window-intensive" (in lack of better word) uses... [10:24] Ileden: I see. I don't know. :\ [10:24] hey how do i get 1 app to play sound through 1 sound device and another app through a different sound card [10:24] Ileden: Try using metacity instead of compiz and see if that still occurs. [10:24] it's the most basic question could be asked... :| [10:24] Mehrzad: What is the question? [10:24] when installing ubuntu didn't ask me for the root password. i gave it a password for admin account. is it the root password? [10:25] red2kic: like, opening a new tab takes 1sec, displaying a web page (not loading, displaying) 2sec, opening a message/switching view in thunderbird, 2sec... [10:25] Mehrzad, ubuntu has no default root-account for higher security [10:25] Mehrzad: There are none. [10:25] !root | Mehrzad [10:25] Mehrzad: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:25] Mehrzad: Ubuntu doesn't use a root password, when it asks for an administrator password, it will normally be the password of the first user set up at installation time [10:26] red2kic: and yes, 2sec is a huge delay in these sort of regular operations. e.g. even my netbook does stuff like that in ~0.2 sec or somthing [10:26] Mehrzad: You may have set an admin password for your user. [10:27] red2kic: disabling compiz doesn't help, it only brings the problem even to switching from workplace to another... [10:27] Ileden: I see. I don't know what else to advise. Maybe you got one case of nasty bug. Something went wrong. Was it like this when you installed it or it start to occur recently? [10:28] ah, thanks a lot [10:29] well it doesnt work..so yea i guess my USB key is a fail. [10:29] red2kic: I think it wasn't as bad when I installed, and that it's been growing... but I don't know, could be I'm just getting more and more annoyed at it. Can't trust my subjective feelings on this - too bad there's no way I can think of to measure this. :-/ [10:29] it shows it tho [10:29] I screwed up making a container file for encryption using dd by miscalculating. now I have a 1.8Tb binary file that I would like to trim by 193814752 512-blocks. The file is on a 2Tb drive. [10:29] red2kic: hm, I guess I could start using a stopwatch to measure some regular operations. [10:29] a G:/ Install Ubuntu [10:29] hey how do i get 1 app to play sound through 1 sound device and another app through a different sound card [10:30] Ileden: This is a hammer approach -- Do a "minimal gnome" install -- Then start installing packages as you do. I loathe ubuntu-desktop metapackage as it is too big and cumbersome. [10:30] red2kic: but humans arent that good at measuring second-level things. hm, I could prehaps script operations and measure the time of execution... oh well. [10:30] Ileden: If it is out to get you, then you can do something about it, I suppose. :o [10:31] fglrx is what i want for ati restricted drivers? [10:31] !fglrx [10:31] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [10:31] so the USB 'works' in the sense that i can use it to install while IN windows...but its not helping me get a boot on the 'hurt' PC [10:32] sheepdawg: What are you trying to do? [10:32] red2kic: yeah, maybe some sort of minimal install could work, but I don't know ubuntu deep enough to know how to proceed with that. [10:33] i have the dreaded errod> no such device> (alphanumeric valuse) grub rescue [10:33] I installed ubuntu 10.10 on an old laptop yesterday, and it was borked out of the box. Logging into gdm did not work. Turned out gnome-session was trying to launch compiz, and that was failing. [10:33] Ileden: Ubuntu-Mini.iso is only 12MB. :) http://tinyurl.com/qp6np7 [10:33] sheepdawg: did you ever check the boot sequence in bios? [10:33] sheepdawg: You should try asking in #grub if you got no lucky here. [10:33] yes. i kno the USB key is set to boot BEFORE the HDD [10:34] I couldn't figure out any easier workaround than uninstalling compiz, which forces gnome-session to fall back to metacity [10:34] drbobb: ALT+F2 --> "metacity --replace" [10:34] red2kic: plus I really, really don't like the idea of reinstall. :( [10:34] sheepdawg: then I guess you should test your usb flash disk with hwtest or other method [10:34] red2kic: alt+f2 wasn't working either [10:34] can anyone help me ? [10:34] drbobb: You're on GNOME? [10:35] red2kic: posotive [10:35] positive [10:35] hi all.... is any soft for create virtual classroom? make teacher to control students pc? [10:35] drbobb: ALT+F2 bring up "Run" dialog. [10:35] for interogatian with them? [10:35] sheepdawg: I also assume you did an md5sum of the iso file before install to the usb flash [10:35] sheepdawg: what you need to do, and i can't walk you through it atm, is boot a grub prompt somehow with a diff medium, and hit c for a grub promt, then do the roo, kernel, and initrd , boot magic [10:35] red2kic: I know it does that when it works -but it wasn't working [10:36] s/roo/root/ [10:36] sheepdawg: then you have linux booted, you fix grub [10:36] drbobb: Check compiz plugin. See if gnome compatbility is at least enabled. [10:37] ::head explodes:: haha i sort of understand what you mean. And no..md5sum [10:37] !md5sum | sheepdawg [10:37] sheepdawg: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [10:38] red2kic: I don't know how to check that, and I don't really care. I just installed gnome-desktop, and discovered it was broken on that h/w [10:38] hey how do i get 1 app to play sound through 1 sound device and another app through a different sound card [10:39] red2kic: I don't even WANT compiz, never mind that it fails when 3d accel is unavailable, thereby providing you with a broken system [10:39] drbobb: Ah. metacity it is. You could run that in the terminal -- but I don't know if that's wise. I'm testing it right now with nohup. [10:40] hellow i have a problem with ubuntu10.10 [10:40] server [10:40] red2kic: you seem to miss the point. I had NO terminal available, no nothing. [10:40] red2kic: all I could do was switch to a VC for a command line [10:41] when i have completed the installation and try to login i have been asked for ubuntu login as it boting in cli nor GUI [10:41] drbobb: Now I have no metacity running. Curses! Yeah, I can't replace it in VC either. [10:42] red2kic: I can figure out how to work around such breakage, but by my estimate, 99.9% of all user's couldn't [10:42] drbobb: How did it get broken? [10:42] i have install ubunu10.10 server in my computer but when i have restart and login i have been asked for ID and password in cli not in GUI [10:42] red2kic: point is it did not get broken. It was already broken as installed [10:43] drbobb: Ah. I don't know about gnome-desktop. [10:44] drbobb: Since that's gnome-desktop metapackage (from Gnome). [10:44] red2kic: my guess is the installer mistakenly took the graphics card for one that supports 3d accel, but I'm just pulling that out of my ass [10:44] drbobb: I think you want gnome-core. With Ubuntu flair. [10:44] drbobb: And "nohup metacity --replace" works if you run it in the terminal. Then close it. It won't stop it. [10:44] red2kic: sorry, make that s/gnome-desktop/ubuntu-desktop/ [10:46] red2kic: but yes I see gnome-core would have been a better choice [10:46] drbobb: Probably if you want to go for minimal approach. [10:46] With GNOME. [10:50] #kolam [10:52] Is there a photo program that can batch resize photos. I heard Gimp can't do this? [10:52] syn3rgy: imagemagick [10:53] syn3rgy: convert from package imagemagick [10:53] syn3rgy: gimp probably can do it, but much as with Photoshop it's more likely to be a total pain in the backside to do [10:53] From the looks of it, Gimp can do it. [10:54] It can? I just spend like 20 min google'n and could not find a "howto" [10:54] Is there JRE/JVM optmization's are done in Ubuntu? [10:54] by default [10:54] syn3rgy: what to do is use a little bash one-liner to loop over your directory and call convert for every image [10:55] hi, could someboday have a look at my dmesg log from bootup http://pastebin.com/1mJDz80n (especially line 713)? I installed Ubuntu 10.10 yesterday and didn't do any system changes (exept for installing software from the repo and installing a prop. wireless driver). My problem: I have to constantly press a key to keep the boot process going. if i don't press anything for a minute or so, it will come up with a messeage "Gave up waiting [10:55] for the root device" and fall back to the grub-shell (at least i think it is the grub shell). any advice where to start googling (i did it without of luck) is appreciated! [10:55] syn3rgy: I don't know; I would *guess* it can but that's such a backwards way to do it ;-) [10:55] syn3rgy: how big do you want your images to be? [10:56] heya, what is the ubuntu command to correct my system time :) [10:56] syn3rgy: you want a magic incantation like "for i in *.jpg; do convert $i -resize 320x240 smaller/$i; done;" [10:57] anirvana: you can correct it by changing the date/time in the system->pref->date/time and set it to update via internet time servers [10:57] syn3rgy: that'll loop through all .jpg files in the current directory, make them 320x240 and save them in a sub-directory called "smaller" which you must make before you start [10:57] gordonjcp thanks that was really nice of you! [10:57] syn3rgy: if you're not used to command-line tools it looks a bit scary, but then you realise you can do mindblowingly complex things just by asking [10:58] syn3rgy: also, "man convert" for the manual, which will tell you more than you could possibly want to know about the options [10:58] syn3rgy: if you say "320x" instead of "320x240" it will make the image 320px on its longest side, whichever way up it is [10:58] Gnea , Is there a command to make it sync from system everythime? [10:59] gordonjcp OK so I just need the plugin for imagemagic and then use cmd [10:59] syn3rgy: sudo aptitude install imagemagick [10:59] or something similar [10:59] anirvana: why would you want to do it that way? [11:00] gordonjcp OK I got it. [11:00] hi [11:01] gordonjcp this is the same thing that is rendering my thumbnails on a CMS that I use. Cool [11:01] grub2 is a bitch - I couldn't figure out stuff that used to be real easy, like how to achieve what was done with 'savedefault' and 'default=saved' in old grub [11:01] syn3rgy: you can do all sorts of processing [11:02] anirvana: systems themselves tend to fall into a skew of time by default, keeping them updates via the network tends to provide a more accurate and up-to-date account of real-time [11:02] yes so its deff a liveCD..but it doesnt boot [11:02] and yes [11:02] drbobb, I understand the frustration...you may want to go to the #grub channel and get better explanations [11:03] Gnea , I basically want it to sync time from internet servers, I am trying to install ntp from command line but it's failing [11:03] hi, could someboday have a look at my dmesg log from bootup http://pastebin.com/1mJDz80n (especially line 713)? I installed Ubuntu 10.10 yesterday and didn't do any system changes (exept for installing software from the repo and installing a prop. wireless driver). My problem: I have to constantly press a key to keep the boot process going. if i don't press anything for a minute or so, it will come up with a messeage "Gave up waiting [11:03] for the root device" and fall back to the grub-shell (at least i think it is the grub shell). any advice where to start googling (i did it without of luck) is appreciated! [11:03] anirvana: ntpdate is what you'll want [11:03] i think i am going to head to #grub as well..thank you for all the help everyone...im sure i will be back [11:03] coz_: yeah I guess that's the place, I forget every piece of software has its own channel, except that in most of them nobody ever answers [11:03] Gnea , ok, how do I install it? [11:04] anirvana: just like you'd install any package: sudo apt-get install ntpdate === bubble_ is now known as bubbleone [11:04] drbobb, yep I understand... you sometimes have to stay logged on long after you ask a question [11:04] drbobb: "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" -- [11:04] GRUB_DEFAULT=saved [11:04] Gnea , thanks :) My system says it's already instaled [11:04] drbobb: I googled. :) [11:04] coz_: on top of that, I'm not sure how much this is a generic grub question, rather than having to do with how ubuntu configures grub [11:04] anirvana: ah okay, so it's just a matter of making sure that it works correctly [11:05] red2kic: yeah that was my first guess, but it has no effect [11:05] drbobb, doesnt matter... if google doesnt answer it well then #grub channel should [11:05] anirvana: /etc/ntp.conf is a good place to start looking [11:05] drbobb, are you trying to update grub and then save it? [11:05] drbobb: You ran "sudo update-grub2" after you edit the file? [11:06] ^^^ [11:06] !grub2 [11:06] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [11:06] coz_: I'm trying to have grub default to the last booted system [11:06] red2kic: sure I did [11:06] Gnea , ok [11:07] drbobb: Meh. Paste /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg, plz. [11:07] no bother with the #grub channel. no one seems to be active there [11:08] <|Long|> i have same problem stuck at grub promt screen [11:08] yea [11:08] i accidentiall wrote over my MBR [11:08] sheepdawg: easy enough; reinstall grub ;-) [11:09] anirvana: also, if you want to make sure the system has a solid base-time, you should reboot and change the time manually in the bios [11:09] so im stuck there as well. and even tho my USB key isnt corrupt and neither is the 10.10 i have on it, it wont boot for some reason...even with my bios set to check the USB-HDD first [11:10] sheepdawg: tried USB-FDD? [11:10] i believe its the second option. when i insert the USB into this machine it doesnt come up as install ubuntu...but says there are diff filetypes on the USB so it says preview pics, explore, etc [11:11] but if you go in to the USB key..the install is there, and will run properly [11:11] uh, okay [11:12] sheepdawg: You're on Ubuntu right now? There is Startup Disk Creater. Something like that if you haven't tried it already. [11:12] PC just does NOT want to boot from it, i used both unet and the include USB file from ubuntu.com [11:12] yes [11:12] ive used both ubuntus method and unets method [11:12] sheepdawg: You're trying to install Ubuntu on the netbook or fix grub? [11:12] both produce a valid USB with valid files...wont boot tho [11:12] fixing grub [11:13] quick recap. installed in windows on D:(partition of the main HDD) restarted and it ran fine. i updated. didnt skip grub, installed it on C accidentially(it was the only option) and now i have no MBR [11:14] i have a liveCD...in the form of a USB key...both the data and the key come back not corrupt [11:14] sheepdawg: I found it impossible to boot Ubuntu from a USB key [11:14] ahhhh [11:15] sheepdawg: copying the .iso to a USB stick didn't work [11:15] so it's obviously not a hybrid .iso [11:15] I have found that the only sure fire way to make sure that ubuntu will boot is to be sure that the USB key is formatted to FAT16, not FAT32 [11:15] ohhh [11:15] fat16 ey? [11:15] http://www.supergrubdisk.org/rescatux/ <--? [11:15] yes. [11:15] FAT32 is FTL [11:15] i have been doing 32...let me try it this way [11:16] sheepdawg: the only way I could get it to install was to set up qemu booting off the .iso image, and with the destination partition set as hda [11:16] I'm sure there's an easier way [11:16] sheepdawg: I went through the same thing last week - it was so obvious, I could've had a V8 lol [11:16] but in general Ubuntu seems to be one of the hardest distros to get installed [11:16] I don't know why there isn't a USB image [11:16] i hav the option of FAT, FAT32, exFAt [11:16] sheepdawg: FAT [11:17] i had it installed just fine, worked and all, no issues, untill i updated the files it asked me to lol then it took a poopie. deffinately my fault, that i know, its jsut a PITA to get it going [11:17] gordonjcp, I believe there is a usb image let me check [11:17] gordonjcp: the cd image works just fine, it's a matter of making sure that the key is prepared properly [11:17] gnea: ok thank you...be right back i will try both usbhdd and usb fdd as well [11:18] Gnea: but that's fiddly and unreliable at the best of times anyway [11:18] gordonjcp: what do you mean? [11:18] i wanna add windows server 2008 to GRUB, how do i do it? [11:18] gordonjcp, several things to keep in mind with the cd ...download it and check the md5sum "before" burning it , and then burn it at 1x if possible... [11:19] rebellen_: grub or grub2? [11:19] Gnea, i think grub2, couse i have a grub.cfg instead on menu.lst [11:19] of* [11:19] coz_: one doesn't 'burn' an iso to a USB key, fyi [11:19] rebellen_: indeed [11:19] !grub2 | rebellen_ [11:19] rebellen_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[11:20] coz_: only mentioned it because your comment didn't seem to make sense, perhaps I was missing something [11:20] coz_: "burn it" to what? [11:20] hey how do i get 1 app to play sound through 1 sound device and another app through a different sound card [11:20] Gnea, it makes sense if you download the cd iso [11:20] coz_: I haven't owned a computer with a CD drive for about five years [11:20] rebellen_: well, the website, there's instructions there for windows [11:21] gordonjcp, 1x burning speed [11:21] gordonjcp, ah i see then nevermind [11:21] coz_: I don't even know where I'd get a CD drive any more [11:21] gordonjcp: You don't need it! :) [11:21] absent a time machine to go back to 2004 when people used to use these funny shaving mirror things [11:21] coz_: not it doesn't, I put the cd iso on a usb key and it worked. it only makes sense if your target media is an actual cdr or cdrw. [11:21] gordonjcp, the is a pplication named ubuntu imagewriter for writing to usb [11:21] Gnea: how did you put the cd iso onto the USB disk? [11:22] gordonjcp: unetbootin [11:22] Gnea, im gonna try update-grub at fist [11:22] Gnea: I tried that, and it didn't work well at all [11:22] rebellen_: okay [11:22] didnt find it [11:22] gordonjcp: they keep updating unetbootin, have you tried the latest version? [11:22] yes, not sure of the exact version since I can't ssh home at the moment [11:22] red2kic: I don't have that laptop with me here [11:22] gordonjcp: One way is to use dd. [11:23] Gnea: whatever is current in Arch, considerably newer than the one in Ubuntu 10.04 [11:23] gordonjcp: also, I downloaded the .iso file separately and handed it over to unetbootin that way instead of letting unetbootin download it for me [11:23] red2kic: tried that, not bootable [11:23] Gnea: yeah, that's how I did it [11:23] meh unetbootin did not work at all last I tried [11:23] drbobb: Ah. [11:23] gordonjcp: ah, I was using XP at the time [11:23] Gnea: oh, no idea then [11:24] unetbootin works sometimes and at other times it fails like a unicycle on thin ice [11:24] Gnea: I've got XP at work but I don't know if I can install unetbootin on it - I don't really know how to install things in Windows [11:24] gordonjcp: oh, that's the beauty of it, you see... you don't install it, you just download it and run the .exe [11:24] Gnea: o_O [11:24] gordonjcp: I know. Me either. But I found a sureproof way to install Ubuntu on netbooks without hassle. zcat mini.whatever.img.gz > /dev/usbStick [11:24] yeah :) [11:25] brb [11:25] red2kic: I'll give that a go later [11:25] Gnea: I don't actually know what that means [11:25] gordonjcp: it means exactly what I said it means. [11:25] .exe? [11:25] gordonjcp have you looked at this? http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [11:25] * Gnea facepalms [11:25] gordonjcp, it doesn explain installing to usb even on windows [11:25] Gnea: I don't really know about Windows [11:26] Gnea, cant find anything about adding windows [11:26] rebellen_: nothing about chainloader +1? [11:26] I've only been using it for a few months, and if it doesn't work I just get the IT pixies to come and fix it [11:26] gordonjcp: .exe[cutable], you just run it and it pops the window up right away, there's nothing to it [11:26] Gnea, one thing, " sample entry for chainloading to another GRUB bootloader." [11:27] what is it about that? [11:27] oh okay [11:27] Gnea: tbh this computer seems a bit fragile and I'm not sure it can cope with USB disks [11:27] rebellen_: that's a bit different... [11:28] Gnea, .... okey? [11:28] hey, does anyone know how to fix the resolution/aspect ratio on my monitor? [11:28] gordonjcp: that's what PLoP is for. [11:28] #ubuntu-india [11:29] PLoP?

[11:31] ... and so on [11:31] there is no sane reason for doing this, but it's a laugh [11:31] I was wondering.. I recently installed Ubuntu (again) on my laptop for university use [11:32] Greblak: great choice [11:32] As I opened a project in Eclipse that was so-far developed in Windows I got some encoding issues [11:32] hey how do i get 1 app to play sound through 1 sound device and another app through a different sound card [11:32] Hehe. Tried it before a few times but needed some programs that were previously unavailable in linux [11:32] The problem appears with the scandinavian characters æ ø å [11:33] They show up with wrong chars in both eclipse and in java.

Some characters are correct! [11:34] i suppose the whole anti USB thing just isnt going to work for me tonight [11:34] Hello!

[12:19] matt_palmer, debian? [12:19] bazhang: any idea ? [12:19] i installed unity on my netbook, but it refuses to load correctly, and it tried to go to that everytime i log on, so i have to drop into a root shell in order to start gnome correctly. how can i fix that? [12:20] falconic, what about sudo ifup wlan0 [12:20] balt11t, before you log in, at the sessions menu at the bottom, select Ubuntu Desktop Edition [12:20] bazhang: says wlan0 interface not present [12:21] Hello! [12:21] bazhang:yup but building from a ubuntu kernel [12:21] matt_palmer, still better to ask in #debian as squeeze is debian [12:21] I've rolled my own ami but it doesnt boot properly. the same process works fine if I use lenny [12:22] ta [12:22] is there anyway to force logout from unity? the thing is, i can only see the wallpaper. nothing else loads [12:22] bazhang: what to do ? [12:22] I do not want the username@machine_name to appear in the terminal, How? [12:23] Hello, this bug is debain based bug, 'Unable to reserve MiMO region' [12:23] mt1mma, your prompt is stored in a variable called $PS1 [12:23] hello to all.. i am very happy to see that many peeps have questions like i do... make me feel less stupid lol [12:24] So far, haven't seen a fix to that bug.... That delays my bot time significantly [12:24] s/bot/boot/ [12:24] falconic, care to share those pastebin I asked for? [12:24] * balt11t sighs. [12:24] Gnea, should i do something to grub.cfg? i added the entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and rad update-grub2 [12:24] ubu_con, What do I add to .bashrc so that the change happens everytime? [12:24] the entry doesnt show up in update-grub2 though [12:25] bye all :) [12:25] As always, no one knows about it [12:26] mt1mma, just add PS1=[prompt data goes here] [12:26] one sec.. [12:26] But replace the [prompt data goes here] to whatever you want your prompt to be [12:26] rebellen_: You're doing it wrong. [12:26] red2kic, what should i do? [12:26] rebellen_: Edit what you want in /etc/default/grub -- then run "sudo update-grub2" it'll update /boot/grub/grub.cfg from there. [12:27] hi i'm using docky as my panel but when i try to start it from the command line i get dbus not found fatal error, can anyone tell me what the problem is?

[12:30] red2kic, i guess i have to add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true [12:30] m [12:30] boudiccas: For linux users. Not Window users. :) [12:30] gonna try, brb [12:30] oh okey? [12:30] it says "Enables/disables the os-prober check of other partitions for operating systems, including Windows, Linux, OSX and Hurd." [12:31] rebellen_: That'd turn off probing the hard drive for possible OS. [12:31] hi [12:32] can nybody give me the hindi to english dictionary for ubuntu [12:32] red2kic, ehrm, what i understand is that it checks for other operating systems, for example the one i added in 40_custom, if i disable it [12:32] its very urgent [12:32] falconic, have you install the wireless backport modules for Maverick (or Lucid, if you are on that) [12:33] rebellen_: 40_custom A template for adding custom menu entries which will be inserted into grub.cfg upon execution of the update-grub command. The contents of this file, below the "exec tail -n +3 $0" line and the default comments, are imported directly into /boot/grub/grub.cfg without any changes.

[12:34] rebellen_: If you have OS on your hard drive, it'd be detected already. [12:34] falconic, from the ubuntuforums thread that is the fix [12:34] okie [12:34] let me try that [12:34] waaaaaaaaaaaa [12:34] a [12:34] a [12:34] aa [12:34] wadeangel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:35] a [12:35] hi, i'm having problme setting the scale of of the openoffice writer. i want to set to pixels instead of centimeters [12:35] wheres women [12:35] rebellen_: The OS-probe script may be defecit. [12:36] wadeangel, wrong network, please stop [12:36] red2kic, and i have to do what? [12:36] wadeangel: not here, this is not a network made for hookups [12:36] rebellen_: I guess 40_custom is what you want if it can't find it. [12:36] rebellen_: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1341182 [12:36] red2kic, i added the entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom [12:37] himani, use synaptic or use google translate [12:37] rebellen_: Then run "sudo update-grub2" [12:37] rebellen_: That'll configure to /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- [12:37] i have [12:38] but i guess i have wrote wrong in 40_custom [12:38] rebellen_: Check that file -- see if your 40_custom showed up in it. [12:38] rebellen_: Yes. That's possible too. [12:41] hi i wanna know what is the point and pica in the openoffice writer ruler [12:42] Hello ubuntu world! [12:42] Sorry aruk? [12:42] rebellen_: What are you pasting in 40_custom? [12:42] I didn't find ppa repositories in sources.list but they still exist... how to remove them plz [12:42] Is Ssl enough for preventing an attack nowadays? [12:42] red2kic, this: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8408502&postcount=2 [12:42] but hd0,5 instead of hd0,1 [12:43] rebellen_: And what is this 8e0446680446537f?

I cannot install natty at all and there is no help on the net [12:44] red2kic, okey i have the exact same thing as the guy on that link except for that search-line [12:44] psypher246, #ubuntu+1 [12:44] and hd0,5 instead of hd0,1 [12:44] psypher... I am ran 10.10 installer then just downloaded the updates from the Update Manager. I think that should work [12:45] ***I ran [12:45] Kevin: ssl should be ok for most purposes, your big vulnerabilities are going to be other things [12:45] rebellen_: EmpoyLayaw thank i will try that [12:45] arh... lost so much time because of the module kvm was not loaded [12:45] Kevin: why are you particularly concerned? As in, what are you trying to do [12:45] how do I check the version of an installed package? [12:46] you're welcome psypher246 [12:46] i have a question to chat app masters out there... [12:46] rebellen_: http://pastebin.com/CGdzkp7e [12:46] why can't linux IM apps run video chat smoothly? [12:47] gtludwig: apt-cache policy package [12:47] is it because of protocols, packets, etc... ? [12:47] rebellen_: Try that? Run "sudo update-grub2" after you added it. [12:47] im gonna try it [12:47] LjL, thanks [12:48] EmpoyLayaw: There are Skype. :O [12:48] red2kic, nope, you can have a pastebin if you want [12:48] red2kic ... yeah, I forgot to emphasize yahoo hahaha [12:48] rebellen_: You tried that before? [12:49] red2kic, tried what? [12:49] Empoy: to troubleshoot, ask - can I record smooth video to my pc. If yes, its something to do with the app or your connection [12:49] Try cheese to record video [12:49] rebellen_: The code in my pastebin. [12:49] red2kic, i tried it now. http://pastebin.com/ds4BjvVZ [12:49] If its the app or the connection, find out if the app is saturating your upload [12:50] rebellen_: Okay. Reboot and let me know? [12:50] tiiim thanks for the tip. I did try cheese. It works awesome. I just can't figure why I get a blank screen on yahoo messenger. It's hard to teach my old folks new apps like skype, emphaty and pidgin [12:50] they run MS-Win on their machines [12:51] Empoy: yeah. Well in that case, is it saturating your upload? [12:51] ubu_con, Got it, thanks. [12:51] if i teach them, automatically i become their tech support... you know :) === behrooz_ is now known as B_Z [12:51] red2kic, sure, but shouldn't it show up in update-grub2? [12:51] hi, is there any file that holds my pubilc ip? [12:51] im really not sure tiiim [12:51] rebellen_: I don't think so. [12:52] oh okey [12:52] brb then [12:52] I'm trying to build python. Is /usr/src the best place to unpack it? [12:53] Cos it could be that its using an old codec, or that your giving it high quality video and its trying to send that [12:53] Or it could be something to do with the chat client [12:53] In which case... Swap out the chat client... [12:53] Why are you trying to build python? [12:53] can anyone tell me what is the pica and point in the openoffice ruler? i want to set the scale to pixels instead of inches and centimeters [12:53] hmmm... i'll play around with your ideas. Thanks! [12:53] @ tiiim [12:55] Jpatota: you can unpack and buld wherever, presuming your not doing something strange === Loongjiang is now known as LongJ [12:55] arunkumar413, try #openoffice.org [12:55] That said, do you really need to build python [12:55] For instance, would you be better off installing it from a testing repo [12:56] tiiim: thank you...I'll look for one [12:56] Jpatota: debian experimental should be ok [12:56] red2kic, it show up, windows aint starting though, black screen with a _ blinking to the top left [12:57] bazhang: that didnt work :( [12:57] Jpatota: it'll only be days behind the svn [12:57] rebellen_: Ah. I was thinking -- You tried few other codes -- but you never tried rebooting because you never knew that update-grub does not report anything? It just generate grub.cfg. I was wondering about that. [12:59] is there any software for hindi to english translator.. i have to use it in a java appliaction.. can nybody suggest something [12:59] himani: not that i know about, but can't you use google translate's API? [13:00] red2kic, thats true [13:00] himani: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/15/english-to-spanish-dictionary-in-ubuntu-and-also-english-to-hindi/ [13:00] Hi!!!Can any tell me how to ununstall a program completly?not only from software center [13:00] toumbo: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename [13:00] toumbo: uninstalling from software center uninstalls it completely. you may want to purge the config files, though. [13:01] how can i install the bce driver on ubuntu 10.10 for Broadcom NetXtreme II? [13:01] u mean google translator.. bt is there ny alternative?? [13:01] Jpatota: it just occured to me: if you are going up a major python version it might make some things stop working. If you are going up a major version, you may need to have 2 versions of python on the system and run one in a fake root [13:01] himani: not really [13:02] Its unlikely but give it a thought [13:02] himani: did you check the link I gave? [13:02] ActionParsnip: that's not a translator though, just a dictionary [13:02] m checking === WindGone is now known as shobo0 [13:03] bazhang: any idea what might be wrong ? [13:03] bazhang: I am installing the latest kernel image from proposed to see if that helps [13:03] what is the package name o super tux kart? [13:03] Toumbo: unless you made changes as root, the config files will be in a hidden folder in. Your home dir [13:03] toumbo: you can find out by doing "apt-cache search super tux kart" [13:04] Starting with a dot, i.e. .config [13:04] its nt downable [13:04] #drupal [13:04] Hi! How do I install a .tar.gz package? Can somebody please direct me to a tutorial? [13:04] himani: of course not, you use it by pasting to the page [13:04] ankgui: a .tar.gz file is not a package, it's just a compressed bunch of files [13:04] ankgui: Name of the package? [13:04] Toumbo: don't use console like a mentalist, use aptitude [13:04] ankgui: how you install it depends entirely on what's in it [13:05] helloo [13:05] didnt get what u say [13:05] any one know where is project unity's irc? [13:05] i'm having trouble in compiling a module [13:05] himani: perhaps you should ask in #ubuntu-in [13:05] there are just images on this page [13:05] there is smb who could help me? [13:05] ankgui: what is the filename you have? [13:05] !details | elvan121 [13:06] elvan121: 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 ..." [13:06] Hay everyone. I've added a second video card to my box, so I have a previous nvidia card, and now an ATI card too. Is it safe to apt-get install the fglrx driver for ati? Will it override / delete the nvidia driver? [13:06] bt no download location [13:06] Ankgui - most a tar.gz is like a zip. It probably has a file called REaDME in it [13:06] momofarm: Are you looking for support or for developers? [13:06] Pici: well, I just want to try how is unity feel [13:07] Oops! Didn't know that. I am a novice. I want to install new version of empathy. And what I have downloaded from the website is a .tar.gz pack. [13:07] ny other option?? [13:07] momofarm: I'd ask in either #ubuntu+1 (Natty's channel, where unity is the default) or #ubuntu-offtopic [13:08] help [13:08] red2kic, tried the code on that link to ubuntuforums you gave me, and nothing changed [13:08] still black screen [13:08] Ankgui - in ubuntu, updates and new programs are easy to install using the package manager [13:08] ankgui, especially for novices this might be a bad idea [13:08] !ask | dawajmalina [13:08] dawajmalina: 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. :-) [13:08] hi [13:08] hi all [13:08] Pici: thanks [13:08] rebellen_: I guess you want to ask in #grub -- It's nowhere active as this channel. Dunno. Can't say anything more. :\ [13:08] thx for the help [13:09] how can i install the bce driver on ubuntu 10.10 for Broadcom NetXtreme II? [13:09] I am unable to see Google Talk contacts in the current version of Empathy. I haven't got any response at Empathy's channel. So, I thought to try out the newer version. [13:10] Can you suggest me some solution for the base problem? === shobo0 is now known as windkids [13:10] Hi folks === jarek is now known as Guest56672 [13:11] Ankgui: try a testing repo, pidgen definitely works [13:11] Its another im client [13:12] I gave a try to Pidgin too, but strangely FB chat is not working in that. :( === skilz_ is now known as SkilZ [13:12] ankgui, then install the plugin for it [13:12] Quite a mess... [13:12] Although I am unable to see gtalk contacts, I can still chat with online contacts [13:13] is there a channel for openoffice? [13:13] luoluoluo, #openoffice.org [13:13] hi i'm using docky as my panel but when i try to start it from the command line i get dbus not found fatal error, can anyone tell me what the problem is? [13:13] And that is only possible if somebody messages me and I message back, or I manually type in the contact's name any start conversation [13:13] Ank: then yeah, install the latest .deb or from testing repo [13:14] bazhang, thanks a lot [13:14] Cos sounds like they'd fix that [13:14] And where would I get that? Any links? (I am novice) [13:14] luoluoluo: libreoffice.org [13:14] I mean, where can I download the latest .deb from? [13:14] !compile | ankgui [13:14] ankgui: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [13:14] Anyone wanna google it for him? I'm on a phone [13:15] ankgui, why do you need the latest [13:15] Get it out of the debian experimental repo [13:15] tiiim, thats not good advice [13:15] wisevoyager: is libreoffice better than openoffice? [13:16] Bazhang: ok. [13:16] Bazhang: it's what i'd do, so care to explain my error? [13:16] bazhang: Can't see GTalk contacts, although I can chat when somebody messages me. I thought the latest version wouldn't have that bug. [13:17] tiiim, using debian stuff with Ubuntu is a non-starter; he could choose a PPA (fully unsupported, but preferable to using something from debian) [13:17] ubottu, Thank you! I am going to look through that link. [13:17] Sure [13:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:18] bazhang: installing the latest kernel from proposed repo did the tricl [13:18] ankgui, you've been told that pidgin works, and with the pidgin facebook plugin that works as well [13:18] unbuntu [13:18] falconic, good deal [13:18] I have a problem in compiling a module ( http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/ ) for my webcam (Philips pcvc720k/40), I'm running Ubuntu version 10.10 2.6.35 .

[13:22] vikas: they are different programs used to install things in the repository [13:22] vikas, not a heck of a lot; as of maverick you need to install aptitude though [13:22] vikas: they are 2 different programs that perform the same functions, but aptitude does a few more things that apt-get does not [13:22] I have a problem in compiling a module ( http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/ ) for my webcam (Philips pcvc720k/40), I'm running Ubuntu version 10.10 2.6.35 .

How cool. Irssi with mouse support. I like that. :) [13:25] vikas: apt-get is installed by default, aptitude is not. So unless you know a reason you want to use aptitude specifically, use apt-get [13:25] jrib, thanx.

[13:35] Gunny, you can solve your problem [13:35] by editing a file [13:35] and set there the address as static [13:36] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ [13:36] not server [13:36] Gunni: killall dhclient [13:37] guys i have mysql-server-5.1 installed ... using rcconf i disabled it from starting after reboot, but it still starts and i don't see any SXXmysql entry in any of the /etc/rc*/ directories ... what can be the reason? [13:38] is it in /etc/init.d ? [13:38] Gunni: yes [13:38] greenmang0: there's your problem i belive [13:39] Gunni: oh... it points to upstart [13:39] dont take my word for it tho [13:39] Gunni: it points to /lib/init/upstart-job [13:39] greenmang0: the reason is that mysql is started through upstart... /etc/init/mysql.conf [13:39] jrib: ok [13:39] is there a way to get the ubuntu server installer in pure text mode? Trying to use it via kvm over IP console and the graphics keep screwing. ISTR there used to be a really really basic text installer - or was that Debian? [13:40] jrib: the script says that "start on runlevel [2345]" .. so i believe removing 2 from it will serve my purpose [13:41] greenmang0: yeah, add it to the "stop on runlevel" as well [13:41] jrib: ok [13:41] my eth0 isn't even defined in /etc/network/interfaces [13:41] will that override network-manager if i define it? [13:42] jrib: but I will be able to start it manually in any runlevel, right? [13:42] greenmang0: yes [13:42] Gunni: jrib: thanks [13:43] kalimera mipos einai kanenas ellinas edo?

[13:50] dipse, i think its not c99 [13:50] there are compiler flags to make it so I think [13:50] ok will check it [13:51] AbhiJit: there's some support, depending on what you need. see here: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/c99status.html [13:51] I'm not at the console and need to ifdown and then ifup my eth. How do I do that without losing contact? I only need to change the network address [13:51] sipior, ok [13:51] AbhiJit: Based on the package description for mcpp, it looks like that compiler supports C99 too [13:51] Pici, ok will check it [13:56] for some reason, if i leave my laptop inactive for a bit, and then touch something, the brightness gets reduced. i've checked all the power management settings i can find and nothing is set to do this. is there some way i can figure out what's reducing the brightness? === Loongjiang is now known as LongJ === zvrk is now known as xXx_hazard [13:56] bazz, are you using lucid? [13:57] o/ [13:57] AbhiJit: yes === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [13:57] bazz, and is your brightness setting in powermanagement is set to 0 i.e. lowest? [13:58] AbhiJit: umm, lemme check, but i think so [13:59] AbhiJit: ohh, wait, do you mean when i move something? i'm not sure how low it goes, but it's pretty dim [13:59] did any one know how to use HotSanic mod_Ping? [13:59] AbhiJit: but "Dim display when idle" is definitely unchecked [13:59] bazz: open gconf-editor and change power management settings in there...the gui has very limited options [13:59] Hi [14:00] I can't install extra packages.The installer can't find a file on the cd. [14:00] bonjoyee: where are the power management keys? [14:00] bazz: /apps/gnome-power-manager/ [14:01] bazz, if its set to lowest then it automatically goes to lowest when you wake pc up [14:01] Can anybody help me? [14:01] AbhiJit: on unix /usr/bin/c99 invokes the c99 compiler for the system [14:01] AbhiJit: if what is set to lowest? [14:02] hey guys.. does anyone know how to force a slower network connection? let's say that for a one-time connection i don't wanna connect via gigabit but via 100Mbpse [14:02] Mbps [14:02] FiReSTaRT: i think you need ethtool to do it.. [14:03] bazz, the brighness ofcourse! :D [14:03] FiReSTaRT: we don't get many folks asking about making their network connection slower... [14:03] dipse, i am using ubuntu linux!!! :P [14:03] bonjoyee: thanks.. i'll read up on it :) [14:03] AbhiJit: well, my brightness in power management settings is set to 100% [14:03] sipior: not too many people flash their networking equipment and generally, when flashing via tftp, gigabit = brick [14:03] !find ethtool [14:03] Found: ethtool [14:04] AbhiJit: it meant unix like :) still there on ubuntu [14:04] bazz, oh. then it might be some kind of bug [14:04] dipse, :D [14:04] let me check [14:04] FiReSTaRT: that hasn't been my experience, but whatever works for you. [14:04] bonjoyee: any idea which keys might be relevant for me? i've got brightness_ac:100, and idle_dim_ac is not checked [14:04] dipse, gcc: no input files [14:04] libmp3lame-dev: Depends: libmp3lame0 (= 3.98.2+debian-0ubuntu3) but 3.98.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1 is to be installed [14:05] any solution for this plz [14:05] hello [14:05] sipior: it has been in my case.. eventually i found out the reason and the fix.. the fix involved soldering (fortunately i had a ca42 cable lying around)... i don't wanna try the fix again :D [14:05] FiReSTaRT: i can imagine [14:05] I use: ssh -i ~/.ssh/MY.pem user@host to successfully connect to the host, but how do I do this in sftp?

[14:07] bonjoyee: unchecked [14:07] thanks [14:08] AbhiJit: looks like c99 is just a link to c99-gcc which is a script that just invokes gcc with the flag -std=c99 [14:08] dipse, yah [14:08] but seems not to be the real thing.. only removed 64Kb but before tonns of software ?! [14:09] Would anybody help me? [14:09] jrib: you have an idea why? [14:09] Mehrin, if you ask probably then somebody could help you? [14:09] I cant install packages.

[15:09] bitplane: dpkg -S [15:09] JyZyXEL, and It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD [15:09] thanks jrib === behrooz is now known as B_Z [15:10] BluesKaj: doesn't that just come from the fact that its ncurses based [15:10] hi; I have another question: I can't find Sound Preferences in the "System" menu; where have my gnome-sound-preferences gone to? [15:10] can ant one tell me where ths software install in ubuntu [15:10] or it actually has more device drivers? [15:10] JyZyXEL: Because it doesn't need to load xwindows at all. [15:10] so it has extra space for more drivers? [15:11] JyZyXEL: the installers work differently. With the desktop cd there's an image you can boot and somehow that becomes an install. With the alternate cd, there are actually packages on the cd that get installed. That's my understandig anyway === behrooz is now known as B_Z [15:11] JyZyXEL, it uses the modified debian installer [15:11] jrib: Took the words right out of my mouth (fingers?) [15:12] should there be a boot menu when you burn ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso to a cd? [15:12] how can I view my system, like device manager for windows? [15:12] hi all, i just upgraded packages using aptitude and after system reboot, clamav-daemon stopped working properly giving error "ERROR: initgroups() failed." i am using "Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS". how do i downgrader the package using aptitude ? [15:13] paradflow: lspci, lshw? If you tell us why you want to, there may be a better way [15:14] pea_brain: you can /try/ to downgrade by doing: aptitude install PACKAGE=VERSION, but if the version you have now is from the official repositories, why not look into the issue? [15:14] ubuntu - it's fast, it's easy and it's also crap [15:14] !offtopic| s5s [15:14] s5s: Why are you trolling? [15:14] s5s: #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! [15:14] How can I test / debug a proxy server? I use ssh -D on my localhost as a proxy, but when configuring either FF or chrome to localhost:9999, I cant connect.. [15:14] s5s: Do you have a support question? [15:14] trolls, they're a idiot [15:15] psycho_oreos: We don't really want that attitude in our offtopic channel either :/ [15:15] Ubuntu is the first OS that has hung on me in the past 10 years. Yes, my question is what do I do so that ubuntu doesn't hang [15:15] Phoenixz: you setup a SOCKS proxy in firefox preferences? [15:15] paradflow: lspci, lshw? If you tell us why you want to, there may be a better way [15:15] Pici, at least its one way the user can be shown the exit door, or as a precautionary message [15:15] Jeruvy, hi [15:15] I suppose the only thing I can do is not use ubuntu [15:16] jrib: Yeap, in FF and in chrome.. Both can not open any page when using the ssh -D proxy [15:16] sss :) [15:16] jrib: how do i know the previous version ? [15:16] s5s: yep. [15:17] Jeruvy, reading... [15:17] I'm wanting to find my cpu make [15:17] And it doesn't even hang once and then nothing. It hangs periodically - about once a day or so... === Cain` is now known as Cain [15:17] pea_brain: apt-cache policy PACKAGE lists available versions in the repositories. If the older one isn't available anymore, you can check your /var/cache/apt/archives/. But I really suggest that you try to resolve the problem instead of downgrading unless this is some clam package from unofficial repositories and you want to revert back to the version in the official ubuntu repositories [15:18] s5s: define "hang" === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [15:18] how do i save in vi? [15:19] jrib: doesn't work. Is that good enough. Mouse pointer stops moving, computer is not responding. I believe it's a memory leak...one of many [15:19] Jeruvy, command "ls" gives me "(hd0)", I have no idea what does it mean.... [15:19] s5s: can you get to a tty? [15:19] areel, :x [15:20] areel, correction I think its :s [15:20] sss, hd0 typically represents the first hard disk on the ide. [15:20] s5s, what does "top" tell you? [15:20] jrib: non-responsive means I can't do anything incl. tty [15:20] also, can you get to a console? [15:20] s5s: what video driver are you using? [15:20] bitplane: Do you really think I can get to a console if mouse pointer isn't moving. [15:20] hello, does someone knows how to change the tty color scheme? I want a white background and black fonts [15:21] jrib: the same I'm using in fedora, debian and they don't hang [15:21] sss, hd0,1 indicates the first partition on that disk. [15:21] jrib: Since both FF and CH are failing, I suppose there is a problem with the proxy.. Is there any way I could test it? [15:21] s5s, yes, ctrl+alt+f3 [15:21] bonjoyee: see google. [15:21] s5s: Alt+ctrl+F1 [15:21] Jeruvy, I have no idea what should I try to do. (well, I should try fix the computer ;-) [15:21] ctrl+alt+f8 to get back [15:21] s5s: this isn't a proper answer... If you want help, try to answer questions. If you just want to waste people's time and whine, then just use a different distro. Use what works for you instead of wasting people's time [15:21] s5s: ? [15:22] sorry meant bonobo :) [15:22] jrib: I'm using r506 which is for ati X1400 [15:22] Phoenixz: have you ruled out the possibility that the server has a firewall or is preventing you from viewing the page by some other means? [15:23] psycho_oreos how do i :x? === YouKay1 is now known as YouKay [15:23] also what happened to ctrl-alt-backspace? I know they disabled it some 12 months ago but why? [15:23] s5s: Because Xorg changed it upstream and we followed. [15:24] how do i do :w :x in vi?;P [15:24] that was one of the best things in linux [15:24] jrib: I can see any and all pages without proxy.. the ssh proxy, well, I have access to that remote server, and that remote server also can access any and all pages.. The ssh proxy is on my localhost, so that should not be blocked by any firewall as well.. and my laptop has no firewall running atm.. [15:24] areel: press escape, then press those keys [15:24] anyone can tell me, how to install samba-3.5.6.tar.gz, the official website what steps do I follow?., [15:24] there are many steps [15:24] areel, you have to press Esc once and then hold shift whilst pressing the :/; on the keyboard to bring up : on the bottom line of the vi screen, then you type x and hit enter [15:24] hi [15:24] areel: #vim [15:24] paradflow: Here is a link to some useful commands regarding hardware etc on your system: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/01/31/dig-up-system-information-using-the-terminal/ [15:24] Phoenixz: can you describe *exactly* the steps you take to set this up?

[15:25] sss: I want your name [15:25] lol [15:25] psycho_oreos thx=) === root is now known as Guest50323 [15:25] excellent! many thnx [15:26] Jeruvy, Are you there? [15:26] areel, vim is more intuitive than vi, I personally use vim and you can find cheat sheets all over the internet [15:26] the samba in the repository is old!!!! with bug [15:26] Nano is even more intuitive [15:26] sss, I'm here. Did you try the command summary to get grub to boot? [15:27] areel: if you want to learn vim that's great but note you can just use nano to edit files in the terminal. By the way « vimtutor » is a great resource for beginners who want to start using vim [15:27] Ramir00: log a bug [15:27] Jeruvy, It says I need first to get the normal grub console [15:28] !ppa | Ramir00 [15:28] Ramir00: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[15:28] sss, yes the command summary will walk you through the process to get that. [15:29] Jeruvy, the "insmod" command says: "error: uunknown filesystem." [15:29] sss, full command? [15:29] garrydonnelly: well once you know vim, it's superior to nano :) [15:29] insmod linux [15:30] Jeruvy, both insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod and insmod linux don't work [15:30] "linux" is not a filesystem [15:30] ok, how do i get apt-get to search the internet, trying to apt-get [15:31] More bulk operation commands kinds thing? [15:31] Jeruvy, How do I find the grub folder? don't semm to find it [15:31] sss can you cd into /boot/grub ? [15:31] areel: Use apt-cache, not apt-get... apt-cache search something [15:31] jrib nice=) [15:32] Pici thanks=) [15:32] Jeruvy, it says "cd" in an Unknow command. I'm still on "grub rescue" mode if it matters [15:32] Question: how can i make my display magnified like we have feature in windows7 for setting display 127% or 150% bigger. without disturbing resolution [15:32] sss, can you ls /boot ?

If I only write ls it prints (hd0) [15:33] aqeel, get ubuntutweak, there's a setting in there to change font sizes. you can also do it from the system -> preferences -> appearance menu [15:34] sss. what did you enter for step 3? [15:34] bitplane, thanks. let me try [15:34] bonjoyee [15:34] u there [15:34] Unable to start samba in Ubuntu 10.10, After installation.

("set" command gives me prefix=(hd0)/boot/grub root=hd0 ) [15:35] sss, did you enter 'root=(loop0)' ? [15:35] vikithakar: could start by checking if you have testparm [15:35] sss, ya you're using wubi remember. [15:35] jrib: how? [15:36] vikithakar: try « hash -r; which testparm » in a shell [15:36] who can tell me how to remote windows 7 in ubuntu 10.10?

[15:39] have u turned on remote connections in win7, its working for me [15:39] chawxj: did you enable remote desktop in Win7> [15:39] vikithakar: well at this point you would use packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file to figure out what package provides testparm. But I've already looked up that you need the "samba-common-bin" package. Install that package [15:39] chawxj: does your firewall allow the traffic [15:39] why that error?! [15:39] vikithakar: it's weird that you wouldn't have it since it's a dependency of samba and samba-common [15:40] jrib: thanks a lot. i resolved the issue by disabling apparmor [15:40] pea_brain: cool [15:40] I have recently installed samba, using apt [15:41] vikithakar: in a shell, type: sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin . What is the result?

From what I can see it doesn't look good but i could be wrong. [16:06] devios: I can't predict what will happen, dist-upgrade is usually fine from one release to another, but I've never done it across 4 releases... [16:06] when i go to certain website it asks me to install them but when i click on install it says something about broken packages but i need it as i cant see the website properly [16:06] Gringo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree gnash swfdec-player-0.8.0 possibly, use: apt-cache search something to verify [16:06] I marked one of my partition as BOOT, it didnt work so I remove it [16:07] and now I lost my grub menu [16:07] I am logged in from ubuntu live CD [16:07] what should I do to get my grub menu back [16:07] Gringo: ah then can you run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get --reinstall install nano; echo; lsb_release -a; uname -a [16:07] devios: don't upgrade from intrepid to maverick :/ follow ubottu's instructions on how to properly upgrade (or just do a fresh install) [16:07] !upgrade > devios [16:07] devios, please see my private message [16:07] its a live USB [16:07] Gringo: use: http://pastie.org to give the output, thanks [16:07] devios: clean install will be much quicker and give a cleaner OS [16:08] Is this the channel to be asking about rkhunter or should I try some place else? [16:08] sarge1221: its in theUbuntu repo so is supported if you use Ubuntu [16:08] isnt there any line in the terminal to restore my grub ? :( [16:08] sarge1221: supported here, that is [16:09] bhavesh: sudo update-grub [16:09] sarge, got a log [16:09] ActionParsnip, No I have it installed. I want some help in figuring out exactly what the log is reporting. [16:09] ActionParsnip, it gives me this : /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [16:09] sarge1221: well you can ignore the 'ok' lines, if you pastebin the rest we may be able to comment [16:10] ActionParsnip, I am on a live USB [16:10] Actionparsnip copy this line in a shell???? deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cosme/my-builds/ubuntu maverick main. [16:11] jrib: TheFuzzball: ActionParsnip: it's in a remote datacenter. physical access not an option. the proper upgrade instructions say to go From 8.10 to 9.04, but to "Be sure that you have all updates applied to Ubuntu 8.10 before you upgrade. " which is not possible [16:11] jrib: TheFuzzball: ActionParsnip: is it? [16:11] devios: it is possible, read the link ubottu sent you :) [16:11] Ramir00: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:a.bono/samba3.5; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [16:11] i think its kinda worked i can see images but when i click on zoom to enlarge the image i cant see and it asks me to install flash again [16:11] anyone? [16:12] bhavesh: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [16:12] they "playback" button in wireshark is missing with respect to RTP streams and VOIP. Is there a package that provides this functionality? [16:12] Gringo: if you can give the output of the command I can get your packages square again [16:12] hello, i have a problem with webdav, i can see it from a mac but not from windows [16:13] when i try to add the http address it says is wrong, i must choose another one [16:13] what do i wrong [16:14] how do i give you the output? sorry new to ubuntu [16:15] jrib: how do i update intrepid prior to going to juanty if intrepid is EOL? [16:16] jrib: i dont see that in the instructions... [16:16] devios: did you read the link I sent you? It tells you about the old-releases repository: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Intrepid [16:16] devios, backup everything you need and grab a 10.10 cd is your best option [16:16] Gringo: use the link I gave, copy the page to the pastebin and hit the paste button. Copy the new address in the address bar and paste it here [16:16] Gringo: pastebin is NOT ubuntu specific and can be used in any OS [16:16] actionparsnip how do i give you output file [16:16] GanjaReefer: again, i dont have physical access to the machine :-) [16:17] i got my files in there thank you. but now when i view my website, its downloading my index.php instead of viewing it. is there something i need to change? [16:17] ActionParsnip : if I change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=1 grub will be set to default right? [16:17] devios, well I don't think what you are planning is a good idea. Just saw ur last post not the part about no access. [16:17] not sure what to type to give you the output [16:18] bhavesh: no, that is the number of the entry in the grub menu that wil be the default, 0 is the topmost entry, then as you read down the list increase the number, its a way of controlling what is highlighted by default, not set it to default [16:18] ActionParsnip, ok [16:19] Gringo: run the BIG command I gave, copy the tex, go to http://pastie.org and paste the text in the BIG box. Hit the paste button then wait. When the page has changed, copy the address in the address bar of your browser and paste it here [16:19] Gringo: please read above, the answer has been given already [16:20] upgraded to 10.10 and X crashes randomly using firefox clicking on links.. or I can get it to crash every time by bringing up an xterm and holding down the enter key.. after a couple pages of returns, X crashes to login screen. what would cause this, for just X apps and nothing else? [16:20] tan: seems the packages are messed, the output will diagnose this [16:20] 9.04 on same hardware was very stable. [16:20] what does ubuntu use as its default battery monitor? i can't seem to google-fu it [16:20] http://pastie.org/1496392 [16:21] srsly, gnome-power-manager ? [16:21] cal_: try a clean install, may help [16:21] ActionParsnip, Okay I have it ready. http://pastebin.com/cxxCE0a9 [16:21] ActionParsnip : this IS a clean install, lol [16:21] :P [16:21] thanks [16:22] that wasn't obvious or anything [16:22] derp derp [16:22] GanjaReefer: its an AWFUL idea, but i've got no choice, lol. thx for your concern! [16:22] srsly, np. [16:22] jrib: i found it thx! [16:22] cal_: ahh, you said it was an upgrade, implying a previous install then upgrading to [16:22] devios, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do ;-P [16:23] who #regexp [16:23] oops [16:23] ActionParsnip : yeah, sorry. just meant that I had 9.04 on it before. but it was a clean wipe and install. [16:23] actually do you guys know if theres a regular expression channel? [16:23] Gringo: ok your packages look fine [16:23] ActionParsnip : what log file do i look for errors? nothing in messages, or Xorg, or syslog files. [16:23] ActionParsnip what do i do now? [16:24] or if anyone here knows regexp enough for a quick question ;) [16:24] Gringo: ok what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash thanks [16:24] cal_: what video chip do you use? [16:24] http://pastebin.com/cxxCE0a9 [16:24] 8800GT [16:25] ActionParsnip : have tried both geforce 7800 and geforce 7600. crashes when using either card. [16:25] is it possible to play windows games on ubu? I got me a present (call of duty black ops)... [16:25] cal_: try removing the nouveau driver then rebooting to use the nv driver, then install the proprietary if needed [16:25] ActionParsnip : 9.04 using the 7600 did not crash. [16:25] xw4400, yes and no but mostly No. lol [16:25] hmm... [16:26] have 2 keep my dual boot then... [16:26] ActionParsnip : not sure how to go about doing that? [16:26] cal_: jaunty used a differnet xorg version [16:26] xw4400, If you play alot of games id recommend it. [16:27] ActionParsnip : also, why would it be a video card driver if it only crashes while interacting with it? X stays up all night long as long as i dont click on anything or push any keys. even had a movie playing for 2 hours. [16:27] cal_, I'm running the 7600gt here with the nvidia-current "recommended" driver ...are you ? [16:27] BluesKaj : how do i check? [16:28] http://pastie.org/1496410 [16:29] ActionParsnip, Is it looking pretty bad or are most of those nothing to worry about? [16:29] During the installation, there is a way to select the keyboard that I find really cool. I haven't been able to recall this feature after installation (press one of these keys on your keyboard, is there a X key on your keyboard, etc) [16:30] sarge1221: I'm not conversant with the app, sorry [16:31] Gringo: seems you split the command up for some reason, the command would have outputted a LOT less, seems you don't have flash installed which is fine. Simply install flashplugin-nonfree and you are ok [16:31] cal_, system admin/hardware drivers [16:32] ActionParsnip, the package is called 'flashplugin-installer' nowadays [16:32] !info flashplugin-nonfree natty [16:32] flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer (transitional package).

[16:34] jrib: I can see any and all pages without proxy.. the ssh proxy, well, I have access to that remote server, and that remote server also can access any and all pages.. The ssh proxy is on my localhost, so that should not be blocked by any firewall as well.. and my laptop has no firewall running atm.. [16:34] Phoenixz: can you describe *exactly* the steps you take to set this up? [16:34] Anyone here use Ubuntu on a Macbook/ Mac? I would like to know how they have configured their keyboard, and use it. [16:34] Whats the command for the non free please [16:34] I take it no one is familiar with rkhunter? [16:34] Good afternoon. Is anybody here experienced with ebox? [16:35] Gringo, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [16:35] Is there a way to use the installation keyboard layout chooser after installation? [16:35] !flash | Gringo [16:35] Gringo: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [16:35] Or more specifically the usersandgroups module, which causes a big error when I try to enable it :( [16:36] ok done it but somehting didnt install http://pastie.org/1496447 [16:36] Gringo: both will work [16:37] Gringo: run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer [16:37] Gringo: gives native 64bit flash rather than using nspluginwrapper nonsense [16:37] Gringo: you running a 64bit system? [16:38] my processor is 64bit but i used wibi to installed ubuntu so not sure whichone it installed [16:38] in future do i just type this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer [16:38] another good reason not to install 64bit? [16:38] tarde.. [16:39] Gringo, for 64-bit Ubuntu, yes. [16:39] jrib: TheFuzzball: ActionParsnip: GanjaReefer: backup to complete shortly - then gonna start the process of remotely upgrading from intrepid to jaunty, then jaunty to karmic, then karmic to lucid then lucid to maverick following the instructions at ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes ) and ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#Unsupported%20%28Obsolete%29%20Versions ) - will let you know if I am successful or n [16:39] its worked guys thank you very much [16:39] I need some help with the traceroute command [16:39] sacarlson: You don't have amd64 machine. That's a good reason. Anything else? Nope. :) [16:39] devios, good luck >.< [16:39] so just to make sure in future all i type is this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer or do i need the non-free too? [16:40] Ubuntu really should do a rolling release... [16:40] jrib: TheFuzzball: ActionParsnip: GanjaReefer: thx you all for the help! [16:40] devios: np [16:40] TheFuzzball: It will. [16:40] red2kic: I do have a amd64bit machine, today I found that skype is still not 64bit [16:40] Gringo, it always depends. in the future, you'll probably be more experienced, so you'll know what is appropriate, or you'll ask again [16:40] Gringo: 64bit flash rocks hard [16:40] #kousen [16:40] TheFuzzball: indeed - on debian systems, you can set up the sources.list file in such a way that it is release agnostic - just have to manually do dist-upgrade every one in a while. it's awesome. [16:40] I am able to ping an address, but when I traceroute it, at the end I only get "***" for the final hops, and no "trace complete" message [16:41] sacarlson: Yes. You only have to install 32bit libariries to get Skype working. [16:41] red2kic: please tell that to the canon driver group [16:41] UltraParadigm: some systems block icmp [16:42] i am back like I said [16:42] devios: arch linux is best for rolling release [16:42] ActionParsnip: Well, I guess that would explain it. :) [16:42] thx [16:42] I often develop and compile mathematical programs on ubuntu. I would like to put some compilation flags by default, but I cannot find the configuration file for the compilers. [16:43] ActionParsnip: he did mention that he was able to ping the address. [16:43] for example, i would like to add -march=native and -O3, but cannot find the files where to add them [16:43] ct529, are you not using makefiles? [16:43] sipior, yes, but traceroute is quite different from ping. [16:43] nucc1: some times yes, some times no [16:44] nucc1: so I would rather have it at whole system level [16:44] sipior: true [16:44] nucc1: my point is that if the target system was blocking icmp, the ping would have failed. [16:44] sipior, i don't know if gcc has a way of setting defaults [16:44] does anybody know how to get the ebox usersandgroups module to enable successfully? [16:44] sipior, traceroute is like pinging every system through which the packet travels before it reaches its target [16:45] Anyone running Maverick @ a Mac ? [16:45] nucc1: I expected a general configuration file, like /etc/make or /etc/build .... [16:45] nucc1: see my previous statement. [16:45] ct529, yes, i am not aware of that, but don't take my word for it. google, or find a gcc channel [16:45] <________xD> ---------------------------------______________________--------------- [16:45] sipior, you are misunderstanding traceroute. [16:46] sipior, ping is a command that is decoded only by the target host. [16:46] nucc1: i notice you do not deign to provide an explanation. [16:46] ________xD: please don't do that. [16:46] sipior, ok, let me explain. [16:46] if anyone wants 10 free .mp3s pm me for a link [16:46] nucc1: yes, i have already googled for a couple fo days that is why I came to the room [16:46] Anyone had problems after the Updates on Friday ? [16:47] Killed gdm. [16:47] sipior, the traceroute program sends an ICMP package with a TTL of "1". The TTL value of packets is decremented at every router through which a packet passes, and dropped when it reaches zero. [16:47] Garzooka, flac owns mp3 [16:47] nucc1: yes, i know. [16:47] ct529, look for the gcc or g++ channel. [16:48] GanjaReefer well theres a site which gives you 10 of them for free [16:48] 123 [16:48] 12ss [16:48] Garzooka, take that somewhere else not in #ubuntu [16:48] Garzooka: how is that related to this support channel? [16:48] does anybody know how to get the ebox usersandgroups module to enable successfully? [16:48] sipior, the first host gets the packet, decrements it, and finds TTL == 0, so it drops the packet, and sends back a message to the originator. The originator notes the host the warning is coming from, and sends out a new packet with TTL =2, which now goes up to two routers in the path [16:48] 中国人？ [16:48] nucc1: i understand all of this already. could you come to the point, please? [16:49] how to lock keyboard?

Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [16:50] nucc1, so being able to ping the target has nothing to do with the delivery boys not responding to ICMP. [16:50] nucc1: I also though that it was more a problem of how the distribution packed the compilers [16:50] sipior, so being able to ping the target has nothing to do with the delivery boys not responding to ICMP. [16:51] ct529, you need to register your nick. check www.freenode.net or so [16:51] nucc1: ping is also an ICMP packet. [16:51] nucc1: yes, I am already registered [16:51] sipior, yes, ping is an ICMP packet, but it is addressed to your target. [16:52] sipior, wheras, your traceroute sends out ICMP packets that are meant to be processed by the first, then the second, then the third and so on... hosts in the path between you and the target. [16:53] nucc1: yes, but the traceroute problem shows up at the end of the route. if the final host in the chain is blocking ICMP, the ping will fail and traceroute will show the "* * *" mentioned by the original question. that was all i said. [16:54] sipior, was that clear enough? [16:54] holy s**t it works [16:55] I'm experiencing very strange problems, irc works, but browsing through chrome or firefox does not. All browsers give me a 500 error and a bunch of code [16:55] i switched to win7 but the same problem persists [16:56] sipior, sorry, traceroute doesn't send ICMP packets. it sends normal packets. [16:56] nucc1: yes, but the time exceeded reply *is* an ICMP packet. [16:56] can anyone help? [16:56] sipior, i suppose it's possible to ignore any ICMP messages other than the standard ping reply. [16:57] nucc1, sipior can you take it to offtopic or something [16:57] GanjaReefer, funny name. you can see the talk is winding down. === hJc is now known as hJcBNC [16:58] nucc1, Sipior, I appreciate the explainations you guys! I have learned alot [16:58] nucc1, yea you two have been going at it politely for like 10 minutes. [16:58] Aldr1g: what does ping google.com return? does a ip address return?

[17:05] mec_: create a file called phpinfo.php in your webserver root, with this contents: http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then browse to it, it should return php information [17:05] * jrib bets mec_ 1 cookie it is his browser's cache === q_a_z_steve is now known as q_a_z_steve1 [17:05] _Neytiri_: you can use the cups web interface, or the gnome cups interface.. or theres cups command line tools. [17:06] tjs_: maybe not sure yet what kind of printer?? some printers require a second seperate set of drivers... alot of the HP's come to mind with what I mean [17:06] nah i cleared the cache and it still did that [17:06] squidly, well upgrade won't install anything new.. just upgrade EVERYTHING. === q_a_z_steve1 is now known as q_a_z_steve [17:06] <_Neytiri_> i tried setting it in bups and it didnt wrok [17:06] @oCean the link for pastebin is empty [17:07] @needlez but with my laptop works fine!

[17:07] mec_, try checking your log files to see what is happening [17:07] Hi all [17:07] I have screen corruption now [17:07] I didn't before [17:07] I think the drivers were updated or something? [17:08] _Neytiri_: check the cups.org docs. I recall it working last time i tried it. [17:08] GanjaReefer: ok thanks [17:08] hi :) how do I install xampp for 64 bit ubuntu? where is it available? [17:08] squidly, also --only-upgrade although its the same thing afaik. [17:08] !xampp | anirvana [17:08] anirvana: We do not support XAMPP installs here.

Everything has to be "untangled" first. [17:10] i think i got this now......when i view it in localhost. it downloads it. but now if i view it in the dyndns address, it shows the page. so for some reason localhost is glitched [17:10] Anyone here know a program for work with Python but in software desing. I mind like Visual Studio for Windows but in Python and linux, where i program the code but the design too [17:11] Hello. I need help for a broken dependencie : libcsound-5.1. Anyone can help me please ? [17:11] <_Neytiri_> wheni ran the commadn lpstat -p -d i got this output lpstat: No destinations added. [17:11] <_Neytiri_> no system default destination [17:11] Varc, there is no one solution in linux. You use Glade and any Ide of your choice, like Anjuta [17:12] i need a earlier version of libcsound and i don't know how to install it [17:12] anyone ?

What file can I modify to change which default Windows Manager will be used at startup? System>Administration>Login Screen no longer controls this behavior. I also can not use the ubuntu log in screen. (there is a glitch with this rather old laptop) I'm using 10.04 [17:12] mec_: you modify the /etc/apache2 configs? === jpsman is now known as JPSman [17:12] afternoon all [17:12] nuccl: Ok thanks you [17:12] JPSman: if you are not using gdm. you can edit your .xinitrc file (make one) and run whatever window manager you want. and use 'startx' to launch it. [17:12] still nothing, maybe provider related ... [17:13] ubottu > yes but the version i want is not in the repository [17:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:13] ^^ [17:13] need serious help, I hate ubuntu TODAY [17:13] Aldr1g: I think so [17:13] but the package i want is not in the repository [17:14] !ask | DevilHan [17:14] DevilHan: 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. :-) [17:14] wlcasey: why do you think you need an earlier version? Pastebin exactly what you ran and the full output (that you alluded to in your first message) [17:14] Dr_Willis: No I am using GDM (I dont know how to not) [17:14] on my laptop, ubuntu hung, so I press the power button for 5 sec and shut it down now it boots up with mounting errors [17:14] because the sofware i want to install tell me that need it === zer0 is now known as Guest18428 [17:14] mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory [17:14] wlcasey: Pastebin exactly what you ran and the full output (that you alluded to in your first message) [17:14] _Neytiri_: use "sudo lpadmin -d printername" to set default destination [17:15] this is just devastated! [17:15] and I can't get into the system [17:15] JPSman: then it should be selecting what wm to use. It may be your .dmrc file is set to the wrong owner. (delete it and it will get remade) [17:15] <_Neytiri_> lpoptions -d HP-LaserJet-4100 [17:15] <_Neytiri_> lpoptions: Unknown printer or class! [17:15] mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory, anyone knows how to fix that? [17:15] _Neytiri_: lpadmin [17:15] <_Neytiri_> ah misread [17:15] I've googled around and none of the solution seems to be easy [17:15] Dr_Willis: where is that file? or any of these that handle WMers ? [17:16] mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory when booting up, anyone knows a quick way to fix that? [17:16] JPSman: its in your home dir. with all the other .Whatever files [17:16] <_Neytiri_> lpadmin -d 192.168.123.49 [17:16] <_Neytiri_> lpadmin: The printer or class was not found. [17:16] ok sorry. It a .deb file from launchpad. I try to install it with dpkg -i name_of_package and : name_of_the package need libcsound64-5.1 to be configured [17:16] Dr_Willis: Thanks :OD [17:16] <_Neytiri_> even tried hte naem [17:16] <_Neytiri_> the name* [17:16] DevilHan: there may not be a quick way.. the system crashed for a reason. You could start by booting a live cd and 'fscking' the filesystems. [17:16] wlcasey: what .deb file *exactly*? [17:16] _Neytiri_: lpstat -p does not output anything? [17:16] ok i'm searching for it [17:17] wlcasey: just pastebin what you ran in your terminal and the full output (paste.ubuntu.com) [17:17] !who | wlcasey [17:17] wlcasey: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:17] it's smacher [17:17] Dr_Willis, it crashed for no reason, :( I wasn't doing anything [17:17] I closed the lid [17:17] ok ty i try [17:17] <_Neytiri_> lpstat: No destinations added. === skilz is now known as skilz-a [17:17] and when I took the laptop out again, it is still running and hang [17:18] DevilHan: there was a reason.. hopefully it was not a hd failure type reason... [17:18] it is not, this has happened to me quite frequently [17:18] last time I had to do a reinstall [17:18] DevilHan: every time you close the lid? [17:18] jrib it's smasher [17:18] no [17:18] DevilHan, in terminal type dmesg see any I/O errors ? [17:18] DevilHan: hybernate with no swap? [17:18] wlcasey: just pastebin what you ran in your terminal and the full output (paste.ubuntu.com) (this is the third time I ask for this information) [17:18] If your ubuntu system is constantly 'crashing' and needing reinstalls.. that defaintaly sounds like a possible HD failing issue. [17:18] I did an install 3 weeks ago, after running for a week, it happened, I had to reinstall it [17:19] and now it happen again [17:19] _Neytiri_: lpstat -p did output that? It seems there are no printers configured [17:19] I mean one it is not stable, 2 it is very hard to recover, and I am not exactly a Unix newbie [17:19] trying to install postgres on a fresh ubuntu 10.10 box, getting an error when apt-get completes the installation and try to start the service [17:19] <_Neytiri_> thats what i am tryign to fox [17:19] DevilHan, open a terminal and type dmesg any i/o errors ? [17:19] It is most likely a power issue [17:19] <_Neytiri_> fix* [17:19] <_Neytiri_> i added one via cups webinterfce and it prints a test page [17:19] I can't find a solution [17:20] this is the error when starting the service [17:20] DevilHan: i would keep an eye on the dmesg outputs, and watch that system carefully.. also you could test by installing to a flash drive. and see if it still exibits the same flakey bahavir. [17:20] I will try the dmesg command [17:20] DevilHan: but for now. I would try a live cd and 'fsck' the filesystems [17:20] ok [17:20] * Error: could not exec /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl start -D /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main -l /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.4-main.log -s -o -c config_file="/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf" [17:20] so I am assuming that upon the hard shut down [17:20] DevilHan: well I would boot a live cd and at least look at /etc/fstab and see if I can mount all of those [17:20] something was not unmounted gracefully === sean is now known as Guest13334 [17:20] ok thanks [17:21] if you'r hard drive is dead dmesg will tell you DevilHan ......... [17:21] so Dr_Willis, what would a fsck do in this case [17:21] um, I don't think it is dead, again it happened before and it just take another reinstall [17:21] it is more like if it doesn't shutdown gracefully [17:21] DevilHan, ok man :-) [17:21] DevilHan: is the machine a dual-boot setup? if so, does the other installed OS experience similar crashing problems? [17:22] then the /root/dev, /root/sys, among other things are unmounted incorrectly [17:22] this is a macbook pro 1,1 running exclusively on Ubuntu [17:22] :) [17:22] that is how much I love Ubuntu [17:22] DevilHan: have you tested the memory recently? [17:22] memory is fine man, I mean it had no problem running in OSX for the longest time [17:23] DevilHan: recently? [17:23] yes [17:23] DevilHan: verify the filesystem is not totally messed up. [17:23] I used it every day [17:23] DevilHan: worst I've seen in most cases with bad shutdown is correpted superblock that can be fixed most the time [17:23] for 10 hours [17:24] hard drives seem to be the weakest link these days. If you have a spare laptop hard drive. You may want to try swapping it out. [17:24] hm I see [17:24] also you may want to disable the sleep/hibernate/suspend features in the future [17:24] DevilHan: You should do a YouTube clip of buying a Macbook Air, Package arrive. Open the box. Install linux on it without even booting up Mac. :) [17:24] but I guess I still can't get over the fact that it runs perfectly on OSX, and on Ubuntu until there is a ungraceful shutdown [17:25] DevilHan: if linux is installed to part of the HD thats going 'bad' that would explain a lot. [17:25] DevilHan: how long ago did it run OS X? [17:25] I should :) [17:25] HD issues can cause all sorts of weirdness... [17:25] 2 weeks ago it ran OSX [17:25] all he needs to do is type dmesg to see if it is dead. [17:25] GanjaReefer: he cant even boot it at this time. :) [17:26] DevilHan: Of course it ran perfectly on OSX. It was meant to work with that machine. Linux and Windows have to work with over thousand machines and new machines releasing every year. It's hard thing. [17:26] DevilHan: when you made the machine exclusively ubuntu, did you delete any disk partitions? [17:26] I let Ubuntu take care of it, and yes it wipe the whole thing out [17:26] hi [17:26] i'd run the manufacturers utility then, like seatools or whatever to see if it has bad blocks. or like Dr_Willis said go fsck it.... and dmesg while on live cd [17:26] there is now a disk01 for 1MB, disk02 for 80GB, and a swap for 4GB [17:27] ok thanks [17:27] will try all those [17:27] lshw says network unclaimed for my two unboard network cards [17:27] onboard rather [17:27] test [17:27] if it is a seagate id almost bet its dead. [17:27] arcnewuss: websearch the product lines to find guides [17:27] GanjaReefer: seagate rocks [17:27] :) [17:27] I was tempted to replace it with a SSD [17:27] ActionParsnip, just got a 1tb bad block DOA this week..... [17:27] but this thing is so old that I don't want to put in any more money in it [17:28] ActionParsnip, but lets not go that direction difference of opinions id say [17:28] Is it ok to simply create a swap file on SSDs? [17:28] When i fullscreen a Flash video/stream on my second montior it opens on my main monitor, how to fix that? [17:28] GanjaReefer: true :) [17:28] Maxk, i guess your second monitor is the smaller one? [17:28] I thought so, assuming u have the latest driver that deals with SSD write issues [17:28] I guess [17:28] <_Neytiri_> how do i add a printr via commandline [17:28] nucc1 yes it has lower resulotion yes. [17:29] ActionParsnip, all I will say is WD has served me well hoping the same for my replacement drive coming ;-) glad seagate works for you though. [17:29] Maxk, i have the same problem, no solution, in fact, for me, i can no longer play flash videos fullscreen on any monitor. [17:29] Maxk, i guess flash is not HW accelerated, so it can't handle higher resolutions. [17:30] _Neytiri_: If you can -- http://machine-ip:631/ [17:30] Maxk, i go to my PS3 when it's time to watch flash video :p === ogra is now known as Guest34014 [17:30] nucc1 okey thx for the help anyways :( [17:30] hp_: you can if you want. [17:30] <_Neytiri_> been there it added it for cups but when i try lp there is no printer [17:31] wlcasey: what version of ubuntu are you using [17:31] apt-get linux-source ->E: could't find package [17:32] could i download it from somewhere [17:32] the latest ubuntu studio [17:33] hi [17:33] gregory: hi [17:33] wlcasey: please put "jrib" in your reply when you are responding to me. What does « lsb_release -r » return? [17:34] GanjaReefer: seagate rocks hard here but in general I just look at seek time ;) [17:34] jrib ok i'm learning [17:35] ActionParsnip, idk always had WD never had one fail just bought a brand new gigabyte i3 kit and the hd was dead in a week. seagate 1tb 32mbcache so I got a wd 1tb 64mb replacement for the same price. [17:35] my network module shows 0 used by in lsmod is this normal [17:36] Dr_Willis: are you implying that it is a bad idea? [17:36] im trying to get network cards working but not sure how to go about it [17:36] arcnewuss: hi what is your wireless card [17:37] _Neytiri_: the cups docs mention the commands to do it.. ive not dont it in ages.. also they got basic troubleshooting information. ( cups.org had online docs last i checked) [17:37] arcnewuss: what kind is it?? model make?? is it itergrated or usb?? what?? [17:37] i have atheros ethernet and realtek wifi cards [17:37] hp_: I dont use sdd's so no idea. You hear a lot of 'stuff' about proper ways to use sdd's to keep them from wearing out too soon. but given how new the tch is. Im not sure how much if it is valid vs rumors [17:37] onboard atheros ar8152 and realtek 8176 [17:38] arcnewuss: realtek wifi cards should be detected by default usually, so what your saying is that they aren't working?? [17:38] yes no work [17:38] arcnewuss: ok what version of ubuntu and what kernel image?? [17:38] lshw gives network - unclaimed for both cards [17:38] !wireless | arcnewuss [17:38] arcnewuss: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:38] 10.04 2.6.32 [17:39] 2.6.32- what??

I dislike the slowness that comes with having swap on a HDD so I decided to try. [17:40] i dont know how to install linux source i get E:cant find package [17:41] is source on the cd or where can i download it [17:41] jrib it will return the same error or not ? [17:41] ! work | arcnewuss [17:41] arcnewuss: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [17:41] arcnewuss: I have a simple solution for the time while your looking for it have you tried to install the winxp drivers thru ndiskgtk?? [17:42] wlcasey: you can't use the .deb, you need to build the program from source (the .tar.gz). Ubottu gave you some instructions on how to do that. Or you can look for an alternative program that is in the repositories instead [17:42] I've got a netbook running ubuntu netbook remix setup as a controller for a hardware device. i'd like a full screen launcher to pop up on boot that gives the user a nice, easy to use, selection of a few programs to run. is there a good launcher anyone can suggest? the screen you get when you click the ubuntu logo on UNR looks good, but it requires clicking on the logo and i'm not sure how to change it. [17:42] arcnewuss: you could install ndiskgtk and install the drivers from the cd they would be in the winxp part of the cd and theyll be .inf files [17:42] needlez: no I have not [17:43] arcnewuss: I'd try that for right now cuz google isnt helping me much to find anything about your card... is it on a laptop?? and if so what model of laptop / brand?? [17:43] needlez but both cie offer native linux driver and i should use win driver with ndis [17:43] jrib ok i'll try. thanx a lot. and thanx fot your patience [17:43] wut [17:43] fk this [17:44] needlez me lappy is toshiba l650 [17:44] arcnewuss: if both offer a native linux driver then how can you not get internet thru them?? strange, are you sure its not malfunctioning?? [17:45] needlez i installed both native driver downloaded from respective websites and load them both with modprobe without error [17:45] arcnewuss: what version of l650?? [17:45] hp_: if you are actually using swap. best would be to get more ram. :) i guess on a sdd. would be the next best option === AbhiJit_ is now known as AbhiJit [17:45] arcnewuss: have you tried to do iwconfig wlan0 up?? [17:45] needlez psk1ec [17:46] arcnewuss: Does 'apt-get update && apt-cache search linux-source' show anything? If not, you need to fix your repositories [17:46] soreau let me check [17:46] ubuntu is telling me my password is wrong and when I try passwd it tells me passwd:Authentication token manipulation error [17:46] needlez yes i tried but get error no eth0=eth0 [17:47] needlez: Please don't suggest ndiswrapper for cards that have fully working drivers in the kernel [17:47] what can I do?

So it *definitely* should be available [18:01] ! work | arcnewuss [18:01] arcnewuss: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [18:02] What file can I modify to select my default Windows Manager? System>Administration>Login Screen doesn't work any more. using 10.04 [18:02] arcnewuss: You don't need the linux kernel sources to make your cards work. But, the fact that this package is not available hints toward your system not being in correct working order [18:02] arcnewuss: Pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file to ubuntu.pastebin.com [18:03] JPSman: you mean the default for all users? [18:03] JPSman: or just your single users default? [18:03] Dr_Willis: well, I am the only user so....yes? heh [18:03] hm anybody have an idea why my wifi drops frequently on my notebook? It works when the notebook is right ontop of my wifi router but whenever I leave the room it drops [18:03] JPSman: .dmrc controls it for the user youa re logged in as.. i dont see much point in setting the system default on a single user system [18:04] and it doesnt recognize it. so the wifi symbol signals connected and full strength (or a bit lower, yes) but I can neither access webpages, nor ping the router nor does ICQ connect (I see that wifi drops when icq disconnects) [18:04] JPSman: my .dmrc for gnome --> http://pastebin.com/KyX7WrHg [18:04] Dr_Willis: I tried deleteing .dmrc and it booted into gnome again. I want xfce or to TRY fluxbox (which is a harder wm to navigate) [18:04] JPSman: and GDM is not showing those options in its menus? [18:04] I don't think its the power settings which someone already said here since it works fine when the notebook is right here at the router [18:05] BajK_: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail see what is output as it will give clues [18:05] JPSman: You installed xfce via 'sudo apt-get instasll xubuntu-desktop' ? [18:05] hey i just got a new battery for my laptop with windows 7. i am here for general pc support sorry. the new battery has just started charging, is it ok to use my pc while the battery charges? [18:05] JPSman: I wouldnt say fluxbox was harder, just different [18:05] ActionParsnip: ok, I'll just go down to the living room and have a look thx [18:05] tom866: should be. [18:06] and when the battery is fully charged i don't have to take the AC power cable out, correct? [18:06] tom866: Yes it's ok [18:06] Dr_Willis, is GDM the start up screen? because that simply won't show on this older laptop. I have to boot into a WM directly without selecting a user. I installed xfce from synaptic [18:06] tom866: Not necessarily though you generally want to be more concerned with heat when using a laptop [18:06] i have a cooling matt [18:07] tom866: Great [18:07] JPSman: if you are not using gdm, then edit your .xinitrc and use 'startx' [18:07] ActionParsnip: it uses keyboard commands to control is boxes that are not intuitive for a windows user. [18:07] JPSman: make a .xinitrc [18:07] it is becayse of heat that i had to replace the battery funnily enough lol [18:07] because# [18:07] JPSman: it seems weird that GDM would not work. but X does..

[18:08] aeon-ltd, I already did that [18:08] si [18:08] thats why im here [18:08] Dr_Willis: I dont know if I am using gdm or not. startx is a terminal command and I don't boot to a terminal. yes, this is a very fickle old laptop (sporting only 250 meg o ram :O( [18:08] nofrillz, don't ask to ask, Ask! [18:08] JPSman: GDM is the first screen where you login.. [18:09] espanish [18:09] anyway thanks for your help be seeing you [18:09] JPSman: so if you are not booting to a terminal.. then i imagine you are using GDM.... [18:09] OH HAI!

You need to get rid of the cd and use real repos. You have a working internet connection on this ubuntu box, right? [18:09] JPSman: and it should have some menui items that appear at the bottom once you enter your username [18:09] nofrillz: checked alsamixer? [18:09] i did [18:09] i dont have the soundcard loaded by alsa [18:09] JPSman: with that low ram. You may want to be using the 'lubuntu-desktop' its best for low end systems [18:09] Dr_Willis: hmm, ok that makes sense. but GDM won't show. if I boot directly into gnome or xfce it works. [18:09] Any idea what the lib Z development package is called in ubuntu ? [18:09] trying to figure out which one to load [18:10] JPSman: and how are you booting 'directly' ? [18:10] JPSman: just because it doesn't use GUIs for config doesn't make it non-intuitive. The config files are VERY well documented with working examples all over [18:10] nofrillz: OSS? then i can't help you, i've no experience with OSS [18:10] hi all, I've two identical partition, it is safe to copy my ubuntu installation from one to another and ugrading to natty in the newly copied partition?

There are other ways to connect to the internet other than wirelessly [18:10] microwave [18:10] trollface.jpg [18:10] Dr_Willis: via System>Administration>Login Screen - which is no longer working btw [18:10] JPSman: easiest way to take full controll. stop using GDM. make your .xinitrc run exactly what you want. [18:10] soreau: sorry I have two network card with which i cant access the network [18:11] arcnewuss: So I assume you don't have another NIC like hard wire connection? [18:11] SSH Question: Is it possible to prevent password login (key only login) for ONLY ONE SSH user??? [18:11] soreau: i have two and only two and both cant access the network [18:11] Dr_Willis: how do I stop using GDM then? [18:11] !nox | JPSman [18:11] JPSman: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

[18:12] arcnewuss: If your router is configured for DHCP, it should justwork [18:12] soreau: lo no wireless extensions [18:12] JPSman: for a 'test' you can just do a 'sudo service gdm stop' and that should get you to the console. You then edit .xinitrc as you want and run 'startx' === Guest34014 is now known as ogra_ [18:13] arcnewuss: Ok great, now tell me the line in the output of 'lspci' for your atheros card [18:13] Anybody else here a huge fan of broadcom chipsets?

[20:35] kanuuss, so what does this command do : chmod 777 kanuuss [20:35] lol [20:35] help! maverick not showing usb removable drives for mounting. I have to mount it in the terminal everytime... I want to do it with a GUI, easily... anyone?? [20:35] maestero: Then log in. Personal files are in /home/$USER/ [20:35] it will change all permissins [20:36] aa11, run this script and post the generated file in a pastebin. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [20:36] red2kic, ok let me check . [20:36] aa11, if you do this when you post it tab my nick so I see you have it posted. [20:36] so i create a new user, add it to sudoers . [20:37] maestero: add it to "admin" group, you don't need to touch sudoers [20:37] delete the old user and give ownership of the /home/$USER to the new user... [20:37] I need to share a tape drive using iSCSI on Ubuntu 10.10 Server (Maverick), I had problem with iscsitarget and I know the tape works pretty well with SCST, SCST does not seem to be available on Maverick, any ideas?

[20:38] Good afternoon [20:38] sageb1: aff, it's in front of me :s intel gma 900 [20:38] Anyone feel like helping a noob for a min or two? [20:38] What does the ! operator do in the terminal? [20:39] Sorry for the noise. [20:39] good game [20:39] alchimista, if it's a X600, then it's not a hardware issue per se. r u maxed to the ram? GT (>) 1GB? [20:39] anyone good with compiling/making firmware and able to help me troubleshoot? [20:39] Diverdude, completes the command with history [20:40] sageb1: didn't understood :S My RAM? 1.5 Gb [20:40] Alchimista: how much ram onboard the X600? [20:41] nit-wit, http://pastebin.com/f0eX716b --- fwiw I manually changed /boot/grub/grub.cfg (against its warning)-- s/msdos7/msdos6 -- because that was the parition number change, but the problem exists both before and after this change [20:41] Alchemista: screen jitter occurs when a graphics intensive app is running at the same time as cpu intensive apps such as bittorrent app, and many other apps. [20:42] TiCPU, what do you mean? [20:42] the solution is to turn off bittorrent apps and other apps when using graphics intensive app === Sean is now known as Guest75435 === Guest7175 is now known as RaNdY [20:43] sageb1: that i don't know, it occoours mainlly with browsers, i have crome and ff, so it should not be cause of them. But my memory and specially the CPU usage is quite used, currently cpu is at 99%, and memory at 60% :s [20:43] alchemista: so, no you can't watch the graphics in that app at the same time you are downloading a large file. ;) [20:43] sageb1: but i don't make downloads :s === RaNdY is now known as Guest32435 [20:43] aa11, did you mount the sda6 the insy=tall to sda. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 [20:43] Anyone here notice that Firefox 4b10 lacks hinting as compared to Google Chrome or any other Gnome program? [20:44] hi [20:44] *then install [20:44] chrome is tuff on memory; every tab is another daughter of chrome begat by the initial chrome instance. [20:44] nit-wit, yes it was mounted [20:45] aa11, try again using the link. [20:45] What does the ! operator do in the terminal ( what is meant with completes terminal with history? ) ? [20:45] Diverdude: Ask in #bash [20:45] hi [20:45] Diverdude: Executes the prior command iirc. [20:45] brianBTB: hello [20:45] I am running ubuntu-10.10 with the server profile in virtualbox, how can I access the files in /var/www externally over port 80? [20:46] TheBrayn: installing apache [20:46] sageb1: yah, in deed closing crome memory usage drop 10% [20:46] it is already installed [20:46] is there anyway I can copy my hard disk from my Vista computer to a partiotion on my Ubuntu laptop over a network? [20:47] TheBrayn: well, then it's more virtualbox settings to make it route your public network to virtual machine [20:47] I can access is over 192.168.x (whatever the number currently is) within my network [20:47] alchemista: do u know how to add extension for the flashgot add-on via tools in Firefox? [20:47] brianBTB: Yes [20:47] sageb1: What does that have to do with a slow computer? [20:47] I am running it in bridged mode [20:47] hello everyone [20:47] soreau, how. lol [20:48] I'm trying to disable Ubuntu's 10.04 audio manager and use ALSA directly (if that makes sense) [20:48] brianBTB: I would 1) Boot a ubuntu live cd on the vista machine 2) Get networking working 3) Use your favorite method to scp the files over [20:48] sageb1: i have it, and like i sad, it's not a question of downlads, since i rarely make a big download. Sometimes a pdf or so, but no quite big files [20:48] I want to use an audio app called Renoise, but whenever I start it (and other software is playing sounds) it complains ALSA is busy [20:48] and vice-versa [20:49] can anyone help me? [20:49] Hi! Anyone here that have taken the ubuntu professional e-learning course that can answer a question? [20:49] Alchimista: Are there any drivers offererd in the Extra Drivers (I think thats what its called) entry in System>Administration ? === unde is now known as _unde_ [20:49] soreau, would that allow me to boot my partition I copy the files to? I would copy all of the files on the windows HDD [20:49] pici: the alternative to watching a video via firefox is to download the video and use vlc to watch it. the right solution would be to ensure vlc plugin can view all videos in firefox [20:49] Pici: checking it [20:49] brianBTB: I would not count on being able to boot windows on a different machine [20:50] sageb1: I didn't see Alchimista say anything about watching videos in firefox. [20:50] brianBTB: But it's possible if the hardware is similar enough [20:50] Pici: just a modem one, but i don't use modem [20:51] soreau, my laptop did have Vista on it in the past. both are 64 bit. and I have a driver disk for my laptop. [20:51] alchemista: chrome is more graphics intensive than firefox [20:51] brianBTB: In any event, that would be a question better suited for #windows. You might also ask in ##networking too [20:51] aa11, hows it going? [20:51] soreau, thanks! [20:51] soreau, bye [20:51] alchemista: epiphany-browser has least impact but no video access [20:51] nit-wit, working through the chroot option [20:51] I want to recordmydesktop at 60fps, but recordmydesktop limits me to 50fps. What do I do now? [20:51] Alchimista: Did I miss something, or is sageb1 correct about you wanting to watch videos? [20:52] Hi! Anyone here that have taken the ubuntu professional e-learning course that can answer a question regarding them? Please pm me, cheers! :) [20:52] is there a way to make a icon that you can click that will automatically run a wine program... or icon you can make to run a specific command [20:52] xorwhy: can your machine handle 60fps (video card, motherboard)? [20:52] Is there a fix yet for the ugly boot screen once ATI Drivers are installed? [20:52] Pici, sageb1 the problem generally occours at any moment, i have another pc, so my lap is more to work, ff + crome, py and some more stuff. So nothing "hard work". And when i saw videos on browser, the only problems where plugin crash, not related to the problem [20:52] ravedog: do we have to do your homework too? :p [20:53] sageb1: certainly [20:53] buonasera a tutti [20:53] !it | mirko__ [20:53] mirko__: 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) [20:53] Alchimista: Hmm.. [20:53] is there a way to burn a live image with preinstalled programs? ie.. chntpw [20:53] sageb1: hehe... no im thinking about puting some collegues of mine through them but i find the info quite short handed tbh [20:53] Pici sageb1 for example, only with openoffice or crome oppened, sometimes i can't see the words correctly, missing some parts like if there where sand over it [20:53] Alchimista: I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with issues surrounding Intel graphics cards, which is likely the main issue. [20:54] pici, i agree with your assessment that it is a motherboard being underpowered for the video chipset === osiris is now known as smittix [20:54] sageb1: No, I'm referring to a driver issue. [20:54] at least with 10.04 was working fine, provably i'll be back to it [20:54] Is there a fix yet for the ugly boot screen once ATI Drivers are installed? [20:54] karma_police: Thom Yorke says aptonCD works good for that [20:54] but I've never taken his advice, ymmv [20:54] Anyone else have a text blurriness in Firefox like I do? http://i.imgur.com/Kv6dH.png It's not respecting the hinting options I have set for Gnome. [20:55] when I mount a .iso file with "mount -t iso9660", the filenames show up in 8.3 format. However, when through the gui I browse to it with the archive manager, the correct longer filenames show up [20:55] i tried typing 'mount' after the archive manager showed contents (to see how it mounted), but there was no entry there for the .iso file [20:55] alchemista, yes, openoffice and chrome are not always great in rendering esp on a x600... it could be a glx/opengl issue needing xorg configuring [20:55] i'm wanting to use a live cd to unlock a windoze password using chntpw....the computer has no internet access in order to download it. [20:55] what are the pros and cons of 64bit ubuntu [20:56] WeThePeople: Runing multithreaded when possible :) [20:56] KeyserSoze: The unusual suspect would be archive manager, since it doesn't require mounting to view files within an ISO image [20:56] I'm trying to debug a crash in i965_dri.so - how do I ensure the app uses /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so ? [20:57] specifically, trying to convince the firefox 4 crash reporter to generate a useful stack when running through the webgl conformance test suite [20:57] can aptoncd save to a usb flash drive? [20:57] how do you create desktop shortcut for running a command? [20:57] xorwhy: do you know what archive manager would do differently than a mount command? i tried "mount -t iso9660 -o joliet", and it didn't recognize "joliet". does that mean the kernel was built without joliet support, and that I *cannot* mount the image and see the long filenames using mount? [20:58] j [20:58] nit-wit: hey, was aa11. I got grub back using the chroot option. The windows partition is still missing, but that can wait :) [20:58] alchemista: what does this command show: grep -i render /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:58] nit-wit: thanks for your help === Alcapun is now known as noobuntu [20:59] will AptOnCd save to a usb flash drive? or is there a program that will? [20:59] sageb1: (alch <>Imists [20:59] aaron01, you might need a chkdsk run on the XP, does it show in gparted with any data. [20:59] alchemista: it should show: (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "RenderAccel" "true" [20:59] (**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling RENDER acceleration [20:59] sageb1: sorry, the nick is alchimista. it shows: [20:59] [ 25.273] (II) composite (RENDER acceleration) [20:59] [ 25.304] (II) intel(0): direct rendering: DRI2 Enabled [20:59] [ 25.304] (II) Initializing built-in extension RENDER [20:59] Alchimista: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:59] aaron01, do you have a XP disc [20:59] KeyserSoze: Archive manager simply shows whats in the file, and gives you the option to extract it. Mounting the ISO image sets the data within the image accessible via a directory. [20:59] KeyserSoze: Try the utf8 or iocharset options instead. Both of those reference 'Joliet' in the help I have here. [21:00] anyone know of an open source web conferencing software? (not counting dimdim) [21:00] sorry alchimista: my spellcheck in my brain is always on! ;) [21:00] sageb1: :P [21:00] KeyserSoze: I've mounted an ISO image before, and all I had to type was mount filename.iso [21:00] nit-wit: gparted is saying I need to run chkdsk. I probably have a CD around somewhere [21:01] nit-wit: to be honest I won't be that disappointed if that partition is mucked ;) [21:01] alchimista: your xorg configuration is set for dri2. this explains the low performance in rendering in openoffice and chrome [21:01] why am I answering questions, this always happens when I come here asking questions [21:02] lol so true [21:02] xorwhy, :) it's part of the sharing mindset I am afraid :) [21:02] Is there anyway to download A.I.M on linux?

[21:03] rmfritz_: no [21:03] lazz: use mplayer or vlc :) [21:03] soreau: Well I just used your script to install some experimental plugins, you wouldn't want that on youtube like that either [21:03] Dmole: I want to use rhythmbox [21:03] xorwhy: !_! [21:03] :) [21:04] ok, thanks [21:04] xorwhy: What graphics driver are you using? [21:04] OT: in buddhist training, there is a story that the Buddha stated to potential students that being of service and being helpful to others leads to peace of mind. this is why I am here helping solve Ubuntu issues... [21:04] alchimista: let me think that one over [21:04] lazz: if you play the file from a different player and/or look at the debug output it might give you some hints [21:05] Anyone else have a text blurriness in Firefox like I do? http://i.imgur.com/Kv6dH.png It's not respecting the hinting options I have set for Gnome. [21:05] soreau: The 64 bit nvidia binary, 260.19.06 === murdox is now known as rucis [21:05] Dmole: How do you do that [21:05] anon33_, I am not getting that at all and in all honesty ,,, it must be "my" eyes ,,, I dont see blurry text there sorry [21:05] xorwhy: Do you have vsync enabled in nvidia-settings? Do you have sync-to-vblank enabled in ccsm? What is the refresh rate of your monitor? === rucis is now known as murdox [21:05] I'm doing via ssh: apt-get install ntp and I get this message: Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu-Server 10.04.1 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release amd64 (20100816.2)'. How do I disable the disc statement and go to the internet instead? [21:06] lazz: run it from the CLI with a verbose option if it's not a menu option (it is in vlc) [21:06] is there a way to make a launcher that you can drag a file onto it and will execute the command to that file [21:06] ugarit: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list [21:06] anon33_: which version of firefox? [21:06] How do I upload a website to my private server via command line? [21:06] Dmole: What [21:06] ubun: yes! [21:06] anon33_: also. nvidia? [21:06] jrib: do you know of any site i can get that info [21:07] soreau: I have those options enabled in CCSM and nvidia settings, except for "Vsync", I don't see that [21:07] ubun: freedesktop.org, i am searching, hold on [21:07] lazz: do you know what a CLI/bash/terminal is? [21:07] xkcd [21:07] jrib: thank you [21:07] Dmole: I know what the terminal is. [21:07] xorwhy: I thought nvidia-settings had some vblank sync setting. What is the refresh rate for your resolution? [21:07] nemo: Yes, nvidia and the latest nightly + all other versions. [21:07] Hi. I have a rather silly question. Via terminal, how do I find out whether my version is 32 or 64-bit? [21:07] coz_: You don't see it in the screenshot? It's as if there's a shadow behind it. [21:08] anon33_: oh. also in FF3.6? [21:08] anon33_: its like your using a different font or something!! [21:08] soreau: It does, I have it enabled. Refresh rate for my resolution is limited to 60fps by nvidia-settings, since thats my monitors maximum refresh rate [21:08] ubun: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html (%u or %f probably work) [21:08] I've lost the ability to get into X11. I can't even get in with failsafeX. Could someone help me reconfigure my X so that I can get into it again? [21:09] alchemista: what does this command show: grep Identifier /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:09] ugarit, open /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of the cdrom repository , then save the file [21:09] I was installing/uninstalling drivers and I believe I messed something up [21:09] anon33_, let me see the link again [21:09] xorwhy: idk how rmd works but you could try disabling all vblank/vsync settings and restart X to see if it makes a difference [21:09] are these the correct commands to update and upgrade my 10.04 to 10.10? apt-get update; apt-get upgrade ? [21:09] jrib: thanks im looking at it now...

I think I'll just look for some other desktop recording app [21:10] anon33_: in this case, dude said it was using different font [21:10] ugarit: if you are running GNOME, clic on System: Administration: Software Sources [21:10] nemo: I've read that and tried to implement it, but it's not working. [21:10] lazz: sorry missed your answer [21:10] nemo: And he doesn't really explain his solution. [21:10] anon33_: you mean how he forced "Regular" [21:10] I am in an a remote ssh terminal. [21:10] Dmole: Yes I know what the terminal is [21:10] xorwhy: It may just be the limit of speed for your cpu/gpu/drivers combo [21:11] nemo: Yeah [21:11] ugarit: the commands only will upgrade your installed programs ( what the update manager does ) [21:11] Alchimista: ok now we are getting somewhere. I have to think some more... [21:11] no ugarit , those are depracated the new command is : sudo do-release-upgrade, but make sure any added ppas are either removed or commented with a # [21:11] soreau should I reboot after upgrade and before dist-upgrade? [21:11] !ati [21:11] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:11] ixnari: uname -m would give you the version of the kernel [21:11] xorwhy: rmd is surprisingly taxing on some systems [21:11] ugarit: no [21:11] smittix: That is a horrible factoid [21:11] after I did upgrade it system requires reboot [21:12] anon33_: my guess is he specified the full name in "font.name.serif.x-western" - or whatever his default area is [21:12] i've been trying for hours to get i915 video working with 10.04LTS, any ideas? [21:12] It makes the assumption that you must have a binary graphics driver for your graphics card [21:12] after I did upgrade it says system requires reboot [21:12] anon33_: the same one pointed to by font.language.group that is [21:12] anon33_: btw, you should perhaps ask irc://irc.mozilla.org/firefox [21:12] Is there any graphical front-end to update-alternatives ? [21:13] hey guys quick question. how do i make "find . -name desktop.ini" case INSENSITIVE? so desktop.ini and Desktop.ini both get returned? [21:13] nemo: I have. [21:13] katarn: update-alternatives has a gtk gui [21:13] nemo: Thanks. [21:13] GeekyAdam: -iname [21:13] jrib: thx [21:13] Dmole: What do I need to do? [21:13] hm [21:13] katarn: erm. sorry, I'm getting it mixed up w/ another command I believe :) [21:14] I find that the edge for resizing a window is so thin it's extremely irritating in Ubuntu. Is there a way to thicken the resizing edge on a window? [21:14] I need to share a tape drive using iSCSI on Ubuntu 10.10 Server (Maverick), I had problem with iscsitarget and I know the tape works pretty well with SCST in pass-through mode, SCST does not seem to be available on Maverick, any ideas? [21:14] xserver-xorg is not installed, that can't be good [21:14] em: that should be theme dependent. try installing one with thicker borders [21:14] or switching to one [21:14] I better install it I suppose [21:14] ravedog, do you use 64bit [21:14] I like the look of the default Ubuntu theme. Why is the window edge for resizing two pixles wide? That seems like a bug then. [21:14] It is kind of fun, I haven't used this lynx browser before [21:15] sorry for asking it here,what's the channel for apache web server? [21:15] jrib: .... i kinda got lost in all that... ill have to study that some more [21:15] nemo: thanks though. it probably doesn't exist .... yet 8) [21:15] em: well... you can only change part of the theme in customise - otherwise you'd have to edit the theme by hand or see if someone already made a variant [21:15] em: if you edit it by hand, probably best to make a new theme locally to avoid the change vanishing [21:15] does the theme consist of editable code or is it compiled binary? [21:15] Has anybody set up freeradius on Ubuntu 10.04? [21:15] lazz: so if you run the application from terminal you can get more information [21:15] em: there's a channel for the graphics guys on here, maybe you could ask them if someone has already done that [21:15] em: text files [21:16] it's the linux way ;) [21:16] em: try the bottom right and left corners [21:16] nemo: the linux way is hardly the Ubuntu way. And that's a fact. [21:16] soreau: Heh, I was trying to find out about the problem when installing ATI/NVidia drivers that corrupts plymouth and makes it look ugly. [21:16] Dmole: How do you do that? [21:16] em: eh. sometimes... [21:16] like where is xorg.conf? That's the linux way. Where is that in Ubuntu? [21:17] em: you can still use xorg.conf - is just X has been going for more autodetection lately [21:17] Roasted: My 10.04 server install came with a freerad (free radius) user account. Sorry I don't know more. [21:17] em: I use xorg.conf to specify the driver personally... [21:17] you can type "man rhythmbox" to read the options (hit q to exit) [21:17] i accidently used the command: sudo dd if="kernel.bin" of="/dev/sda" [21:17] lazz: you can type "man rhythmbox" to read the options (hit q to exit) [21:17] is java working for 64bit yet? [21:18] i used sudo grub-install /dev/sda after that [21:18] ugarit, you can ssh back into the pc as you did previously [21:18] how do i know it will work when i restart my pc? [21:18] em: actually, amusingly, I edited my theme to do the exact opposite [21:18] lazz: "rhythmbox -d" should stat the app then try playing the file that fails, then put the output in a paste bin [21:18] em: was trying to increase real-estate on a small display so shrank all the button, scrollbars, etc [21:19] sllide: it probably won't, you might have overwritten a lot more than the boot sector [21:19] nope [21:19] the file is 512b [21:19] i compiled it myself [21:19] well, wrote it myself [21:19] !enter | sllide [21:20] sllide: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:20] alchimista: install nvidia-settings. that will help to change settings for nvidia simply. [21:20] i know, i know [21:20] em: bug 160311 [21:20] smittix: AFAIK, binary drivers have no support for KMS which plymouth relies on to function [21:20] em: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/160311 [21:20] ill just restart my pc, if it doesnt work its fedora time :D [21:20] how can i set compiz as my default window manager?

[23:30] lsusb brought something up [23:30] !pl | piotr [23:30] piotr: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [23:30] I have been trying to run a linux mint fluxbox iso off of the usb drive and it wont boot === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [23:31] !mint [23:31] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [23:31] d4rkh4v0k1: all device assignment should come up via -businfo, but as long as you found it ;) === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest87147 [23:31] I was asking here because I am using imagewriter in ubuntu [23:31] I found Bus 003 Device 4 being my device [23:32] d4rkh4v0k1: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [23:33] okay [23:33] ryanf109: the options are 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x for private networks [23:33] ryanf109: the 10. 172. or 192. range [23:33] that command didn't work :| [23:33] hmm might be in the multiverse repo [23:34] d4rkh4v0k1: `sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list` and uncomment the multiverse repo [23:34] d4rkh4v0k1: save changes then `sudo apt-get update` [23:34] !paste [23:34] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:35] that's not the issue filo1234, his package manager doesn't see the precompiled binary via the repo :p [23:35] ejv: you can use pastebin is better [23:35] i don't have the multiverse repo listed [23:35] i'm using backtrack [23:35] :O [23:35] doh! [23:35] the truth comes out [23:36] -.- [23:36] lol [23:36] but don't they have an ubuntu based system ? [23:36] I could of sworn they were integrated [23:36] hi, anyone can help to open udp ports? [23:36] d4rkh4v0k1: even if it's a debian based product (which im not sure it is) it doesn't mean its supported here :) [23:37] !backtrack | d4rkh4v0k1 [23:37] d4rkh4v0k1: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [23:37] iflema: would 10.1.1.1 be acceptable? [23:37] Okay, i'll give it a shot [23:37] d4rkh4v0k1: anyways, pastebinit was naturally a tool to help you send us what you're seeing, i was gonna have you send the output of `lshw` so i could look [23:37] ryanf109: erUSUL is right 192.168.x.x 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x-172.31.255.255 [23:37] they just don't respond fast [23:37] ryanf109: 10.x.x.x used for big network [23:37] how do i install .deb in command line? [23:38] or ever [23:38] ryanf109: yes [23:38] DaGeek247: sudo dpkg -i file.deb [23:38] d4rkh4v0k1: copy and paste the manual way if it's not too much trouble to paste.ubuntu.com [23:39] thanks. [23:39] d4rkh4v0k1: this not right channel for your support [23:39] sageb1, funny how it works this time but when i did that before it jus wasted a dvd. thanks for the help again=) [23:39] d4rkh4v0k1: command would have been: `sudo lshw -businfo | pastebinit` :p [23:39] are there any addons for metacity that allow aero-like edge triggers? for instance, where I could drag a window to the edge of the screen and it will be given half the screen [23:39] filo1234: so 172.16.x.x is presumably used for medium sized networks? and 192.168.x.x for smaller networks? [23:39] my login desktop changer is missing, how do I get it back [23:40] I would REally love some help getting my sound drivers... [23:40] ryanf109: yeah presumably yes [23:40] Well i got a list of stuff from it [23:41] ryanf109: read your RFC specs, 172.16.* is reserved for private networks, as well as 192.168.* and 10.*/8, see RFC 1918 ;) [23:41] ok guys thanks a lot. [23:41] iflema: it depends. go for 10.x.x.x it gives you more ip adresses subnets etc ... [23:42] yea if you're working for a large organization, best to use Single Class A, 10.0.0.0/8 [23:42] erUSUL: its just i indicated the whole 172 range not 172.16-172.31.255.255 [23:43] about ~17mil addresses [23:43] ejv I did paste it to pastebin if you care to see if not that's fine, I'm getting burnt out from this anyways [23:44] where is it d4rkh4v0k1 ? [23:44] :p [23:44] you guys are helpfull... [23:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/558327/ [23:44] !patience | Taste [23:44] Taste: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ === nan is now known as Guest189 [23:44] Hey guys -- anyone ever had df report available + used much less than size? [23:45] joshmarshall: sure === Guest13346 is now known as RaNdY === Guest189 is now known as kotek [23:45] d4rkh4v0k1: so im not seeing anything resembling a GPS device... off the bat... [23:45] Kay, I've just never had that before -- does it indicate an issue or problem? === RaNdY is now known as Guest48787 [23:46] There was another command that listed it but not it's location [23:47] Is anyone familiar with the bug in ubuntu 10.40 where the sound indicator is muted and cannot be unmuted, and in this state, shutting down or restarting from the menu does not do so-it goes back to the login screen, and only restarting with sudo from cli does so. [23:47] joshmarshall: not necessarily, is it wildly off? [23:48] ejv: About 30G on a 363G drive. [23:48] ejv: And my swap isn't THAT large. :) [23:48] ahoy fellow ubuntites [23:48] is there a way to alt-tab across workspaces? [23:48] ejv here is what I had from lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/558328/ [23:48] joshmarshall: so you have 330G free? [23:48] ubuntunes? [23:48] hi guys [23:48] control alt down then left and right arrows pooky [23:48] ejv: Size: 363G, Used: 315G, Avail: 16G [23:48] i partitioned my hdd during installation [23:48] pooky: ctrl + alt / [<-|->] [23:49] (those be cursors matey) [23:49] but i cant copy files to one of the partition [23:49] well, that switches workspaces [23:49] Do any of you make videos which you successfuly post on YouTube with a camera you use with Ubuntu? [23:49] no [23:49] ejv: Before it was Size: 363G, Used: 330ishG, Avail: 0 (100% use) [23:49] I knew that, I wanted to alt tab through windows, across workspaces [23:49] i tried defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 in fstab but it didnt mount the partition this time [23:49] Or, if you prefer, any of you know if the Flip video cameras work with Ubuntu [23:49] ejv: So I moved some stuff. :) [23:50] em: I use it and it works fine [23:50] pooky: ahhhh should have been more detailed ;) no idea [23:50] yeah? What format does the Flip record to? [23:50] ejv: If it's a normal "issue", then that's fine, I just was worried it indicated a hard disk issue or something. [23:50] hm [23:50] joshmarshall: yea that's strange, i've seen df report incorrectly sometimes but if you're really worried you can monitor SMART and dmesg for any i/o errors [23:51] have you enabled the cube pooky? [23:51] Evolution is segfaulting whenever I try subscribing to an RSS feed [23:51] d4rkh4v0k1: I don't use compiz [23:51] d4rkh4v0k1: or any compositing effects really [23:51] i do [23:51] i use the wobbly effect [23:51] ejv: Kay, I'll do that -- it's an old Hardy server so I'm a bit concerned about it anyway. :) Thanks for your help! [23:51] pooky: you try ctrl+alt+tab ? [23:51] d4rkh4v0k1: not really needed for my workflow, I just want to be able to alt-tab to a application window on another workspace [23:51] compiz is the only reason i use ubuntu [23:51] hello all, where is the ubuntu grub file? [23:52] pooky: when you record with the flip what is the file format? [23:52] where can I find grub file on ubuntu 10.10 [23:52] ejv: haha, I never had, and that is not the answer I seek, hehe [23:52] http://pastebin.com/VtQpwjFY, my dev/sda3 doesnt load at startup, any help? [23:52] ejv: that still only touches things on the first workspace [23:52] pooky: bummer [23:52] pooky have you checked out eye candy? [23:52] d4rkh4v0k1: so garmin is your gps i imagine [23:52] em: ergh, I'd have to find it, but it played in VLC fine for me, I think it's an avi [23:52] Yes :D [23:52] what is 'compiz' ? [23:52] d4rkh4v0k1: what is eyecandy? [23:53] d4rkh4v0k1: please don't make rhetorical jokes at me, haha [23:53] is avi an open format? [23:53] what is love? [23:53] i'm trying to set up KVM on a fresh ubuntu 10.10 install. do I need to configure a separate bridge interface for each VM I bring up? [23:53] where can I find grub file on ubuntu 10.10 [23:53] you can modify your machine to do many crazy things. Perhaps make your taskbar look like mac [23:53] pooky: ctrl + F1,F2,F3etc. [23:53] chaospsychex: it's the window compositor that allows for 3d effects in ubuntu [23:54] magicianlord: window compositor? [23:54] you can install widgets to : ) which are super cool [23:54] d4rkh4v0k1: jhaddad if you haven't already: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking [23:54] iflema: that didn't do anything for me [23:54] srry d4rkh4v0k1 that wasn't for you [23:54] oh lol [23:54] I feel like I should just smart smacking the keyboard like a monkey :P [23:55] em, no [23:55] ctrl-alt-=-[ [23:55] my login desktop changer is missing, how do I get it back [23:55] magicianlord: neat, looks cool. how do i install it? 'sudo apt-get install compiz? [23:55] brb [23:55] no, don't do that pooky, are you using kde or gnome ? [23:55] gnome, metacity [23:55] chaospsychex: it's already installed if you are using ubuntu === istok is now known as chmod [23:55] pooky: oh yeah.. thats kde4, oops [23:55] magicianlord: really? i gotta check it out then [23:55] try googling gnome eyecandy, if it doesn't help you could at least customize your pc some. [23:56] it's in appearance, special effects [23:56] youtube linux eyecandy too ! [23:56] d4rkh4v0k1: what's `sudo lshw -class multimedia` output? [23:56] ejv: i read through that, but I didn't see anything about limitations on the number of vms that can share a bridge. [23:56] im assuming they'd group this usb gps under multimedia.... [23:56] Does someone know how to download Realtek drivers on linux [23:57] does anyone know why the sound indicator screws up in 10.04 and then restarting doesnt work either? [23:57] ejv: not really my area of expertise. [23:57] d4rkh4v0k1: I will, I'm almost to an entirely keyboard based usage -> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/134382/Screenshot.png <- just need to figure out how to tab across workspaces [23:57] pooky: in ubuntu? [23:57] magicianlord: yes [23:57] Taste: you can download the vanilla kernel sources from http://www.kernel.org/ [23:57] ejv it's an high definition controller [23:57] Taste: if you *really* want to play with the committed realtek driver code... [23:58] magicianlord: just a custom theme, and running pywo for window management. [23:58] what is pywo? [23:58] magicianlord: it's a python script the resizes and tiles windows [23:58] sorry pooky i don't know what else to mention [23:58] not super robust, but enough that it makes things useful [23:59] please someone tell me where is the grub configuration file on my ubuntu 10.10? :( [23:59] has anyone here been able to get IMosaic to work using mono? [23:59] anyone got a tutorials how to move website from a server to ubuntu server? [23:59] d4rkh4v0k1: no problem, just seems like an oversight though, right? [23:59] pooky: like the alt+f7 and 10 shortcuts in gnome [23:59] Taste: also naturally you can go to the vendor's website as well and look under Unix (Linux) [23:59] morphyeys: it's in /boot [23:59] magicianlord: yes, in ways [23:59] ok homie [23:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/558331/ here it is ejv
