sandydWinCamXP: which means Pentium3 +00:00
WinCamXPdarn it00:00
aeon-ltdWinCamXP: there are other distros that go back to i38600:00
WinCamXPwould a Windows 7 comp with 4GB of RAM run a Minecraft server with up to 3 people lagless, or would it be better if I had 8GB?00:01
jiohdihelp! I have no idea what I did but gnome no longer sees my keyboard... icewm and others are still ok00:01
WinCamXPI'm thinking of upgrading cuz I'm stuck with 2GB...00:01
bastidrazor!ot | WinCamXP00:01
ubottuWinCamXP: #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!00:01
nonix4jrib: bug #561390 is even more like it - /boot was mounted manually since fstab was referring to sda instead of sdd; changed that to UUID now, but haven't booted yet because physical access to that host is not available atm in case things go wrong.00:02
velcroshoozis there a way to get the mail icon to show when there is new mail?00:02
aeon-ltdWinCamXP: ram is not going to be the limiting factor here, 2gb is fine; the first step is making it work even if it is slow then using something like 'htop' see whats causing the bottleneck00:02
jiohdivelcroshooz: if you use docky, it has a widget for mail that puts number of new mail on an envelope00:03
nonix4What kind of permissions is /dev/shm supposed to have?00:04
=== adamb is now known as juso
sandydnonix4: drwxrwxrwt00:05
nonix4hmm, it is missing group/other write. Can/should I just chmod or should I suspect things being mounted in backwards order, that shadows mountpoints?00:06
wjlafranceHowdy! I'm thinking of using Ubuntu as a router for a hackerspace (too many users for a traditional router), but I'm wondering if I should use a more specialized distro?00:07
DarkAcaphello00:07
sandydnonix: it should have nosuid permissions00:07
badger32dwjlafrance, I would look at smoothwall/monowall/pfsense00:07
sandydfstab line should be "shm                     /dev/shm        tmpfs           nodev,nosuid,noexec     0 0"00:07
joeoshawabetter00:07
Pyschogood evening, i was wondering if you can tell me what packages i need for libcurl, gnutls, and libpcre00:07
joeoshawasorry about that00:07
wjlafrancebadger32d, are those software or distros?00:07
badger32dwjlafrance, all distro's.00:08
=== jmad98O is now known as jmad980
wjlafrancebadger32d, so you don't recommend ubuntu? Basically we have a wireless router we'd repurpose as an AP and then use a nix box right behind the modem00:09
nonix4sandyd: there is no fstab line for it at all, but /proc/mounts does list it, as does /etc/mtab00:09
badger32dwjlafrance, ubuntu is fine, and I've used it with iptables and squid, but if all you want is a routeros, then those are created just for routering as it were. Also, I think smoothwall has a nice easy to use gui00:10
joeoshawaevery time i reboot i have to log in and out and plug in and unplug my wires for my network on this machine to get it to connect to the internet00:10
badger32dwjlafrance, and by gui, I ment a web front end00:10
joeoshawaanyone know how to fix this00:10
wjlafrancebadger32d, thanks for the information. :)00:10
badger32dno problem man, good luck with the hackerspace!00:11
joeoshawaits really driving me up the wall00:11
bazhangjoeoshawa, next time try sudo dhclient eth000:12
joeoshawalemme write that down00:12
joeoshawaeeek wow hardcopy eeewwww00:13
joeoshawaso sudo dhclient eth000:13
joeoshawajust to be sure00:14
GeekMani got a question if i move to fedora with kde will most of my user data still be avalible if i install that over ubuntu00:14
bazhangjoeoshawa, yep00:14
bazhangGeekMan, separate home partition?00:14
epzil0nhey gus00:14
badger32dGeekMan, backup /home if it is not a seperate partition.00:14
epzil0nguys00:15
GeekManoh ok00:15
intraderAnyone, I have done`sudo apt-get install --reinstall msttcorefonts` -- that works. I am rebooting. Thanks00:15
epzil0nif someone comes here asking for me..00:15
GeekManok00:15
epzil0npls give them this link00:15
bazhangGeekMan, and really ask in #fedora as the would know if the installer allows keeping the home partition00:15

botsthey are still listed as startup apps, but they dont start00:17
epzil0nbyebye n take care00:17
botsI had a reboot that took forever earlier, seemed like something was wrong00:17
joeoshawabazhang, you think maybe its a timing issue with dhcp?00:17
bazhangjoeoshawa, not sure, but that should do it00:18
joeoshawanow thats funky that put a big message across my screen00:18
GeekMani here in april the gui is changing00:19
nonix4jrib, sandyd: Thanks :) Kludged around the bug by adding permissions to /dev/shm for current user's group (only, since I guess those perms will get reset on boot and I don't need other users on that system on this boot anyway)00:19
jiohdihelp! I have no idea what I did but gnome no longer sees my keyboard... icewm and others are still ok00:19
GeekMan*hear00:19
badger32dGeekMan, is that why you are switching to fedora?00:20
joeoshawabtw for people having firefox crashing problems it's the google search tool  in your search toolbar00:20
jiohdihow do I get it back?00:20
GeekMannot entirly00:20
joeoshawaremove it and it will probably stop crashing00:20
badger32dGeekMan: you realize you don't have to switch, also you can install KDE in ubuntu, no distro hopping needed.00:20
DashkalIs there a quick way to get ubuntu to cough up what arch I installed?  I have no idea if I'm x86 or amd64 on this machine.00:21
AlexandreMBMNautilus require password for Windows share in loop. Help?00:21
GeekManwhats the most efficent way to install kde00:21
bastidrazorDashkal: uname -m00:21
joeoshawai might kill my ubuntu 32 bit for a install of debian to play with all the alternative window managers logins and just plain tinkering00:21
jiohdiAlexandreMBM: sometimes its just your root password00:21
Dashkalbastidrazor: danke00:22
bastidrazorGeekMan: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop00:22
bastidrazorDashkal: you're welcome00:22
GeekManusaly i do it and i get all kinda strange oddities cause its not originally installed first00:22
joeoshawajust don't install enlightenment00:22

AlexandreMBMjiohdi, No. It is the share password. I see a bug ticket but I don't know the solution and I lost the link page.00:23
GeekManwhat if i want plasma kde00:23
anigmaokey, so basically I just tried copying an img file to a USB  stick. I unmounted it first and did dd=/file/path of=/dev/usb...  That's about it, right? It doesn't matter what kind of img file  it is as long as it is an img file?00:23
badger32dGeekMan, google can help, but if I remember right sudo apt-get install kde-desktop will get you kde.00:25
GeekManor does the current kubuntu have plasma i havent used it in ages00:25
markohi00:25
GeekMankk sry for mind less questions00:25
badger32dGeekMan, kubuntu has plasma, but installing Kde-desktop also gets you that same environment00:25
bazhangGeekMan, kubuntu-desktop is the package and yes it has plasma00:25
GeekMank cool will try thanks00:25
badger32dthanks bazhang for the package name, good luck GeekMan00:26
GeekManhow long you think it should take00:26
bazhangGeekMan, similarly lubuntu-desktop , xubuntu-desktop and others will do00:26
bazhangGeekMan, depends on your download speed, I suppose00:26
badger32dGeekMan, with a good pipe, not too long.00:26
_vladtI have an ubuntu box that I use to do various functions that is connected to an intranet without being connected to the internet. I want to install certain packages on it, is there an easy way to download all the packages I need and the dependencies for them? Does apt-get -d download them to the local directory or will I have to wade through the pkg directory to find them?00:26
badger32dI think with a 5 meg link, it took about 30 minutes to download and install00:27
_vladtI want to download a good number of pakcages, so I want to avoid having to wade through the pkg directory00:27
magicianlordapt-get -d will do it00:27
bazhang_vladt, set up an apt-mirror? aptoncd? /msg ubottu offline as well00:27
KroplexWill ubuntu desktop work on my laptop?00:28

nofrillzit might be a bitch finding wifi drivers for it though, Kroplex00:28
Kroplexyea that is my problem why i was asking00:29
nofrillzi would look up wifi drivers for your laptop before installing desktop00:29
Kroplexi can't connect with an ethernet cord directly to the router and i cant connect w/ wifi00:29
bazhanganigma, image of what00:29
KM0201Kroplex: do you know what your wifi device is?00:29
conor_i'm trying to add a wildcard domain (not the right way to say this) to my machine.. essentially, when i try to go to 'proto://foo', i want my system to try 'foo' first, but then 'foo.bar.net' if the plain hostname doesn't resolve.. any ideas?00:29
GeekManwho uses Guake terminal00:29
Jordan_Uanigma: '.img' isn't really a file format. What was the image exactly?00:29
GeekMansry thats off topic00:30
Kroplexyea hold on KM0201 ill get it00:30
AshlebedeO_O00:30
nofrillzlinux wifi driver (your laptop model here)00:30

Kroplexits a Marvell TOPDOG PCI-Express (EC85)...00:31

Kroplexumm, how would i go about installing the wifi driver once in linux?00:31
nofrillzmake00:31
nofrillzmake install00:31
nofrillzreboot00:31
GeekMan\fly "you feel lighter"00:31
neuroaccelaI use Guake as my primary terminal, actually, unless I need to do something across multiple terminals. I'd prefer separate windows over tabbed terminal windows.00:32

Aikari need help. the WUBI windows installer is not installing correctly. i selected H: partition and it installed everything there, but when i try to boot ubuntu its trying to load the disk from my K: partition which doesnt have any unbutu files on it... how can i fix where grub is pointing to?00:36
chovynzjoeoshawa: talking about my question?00:36
Jordan_UAikar: Wubi does not support installing to a partition other than C:00:36
joeoshawayes00:36
Jordan_UAikar: Why not just do a normal install?00:36
AikarJordan_U: then why is there a drop down asking where to install it00:36
joeoshawasounds kind of risky00:36
GeekMantrue dat i used wubi its pretty cool for what it is00:36
KM0201Aikar: because its going to install on a virtual disk.00:36
chovynzjoeoshawa: I have an ubuntu server box, but the commands are not ubuntu server. They are ubuntu command line. Just so happens that I have no gui.00:37
Aikarwell theres a new wubi out that lets you install on other partitions00:37
KM0201Aikar: i hope you're aware of the inherent problems that wubi can/does cause... you might want to reconsider using it.00:37
Aikarbut my problem is how do i fix grub to point to the correct partition with my virtual disk00:37
joeoshawayes but server works without login no00:38
GeekManit shouldnt be using grub it uses windows boot manager00:38
joeoshawayou only log in to admin the sytem00:38
joeoshawasystem00:38
Aikarwindows then grub00:38
GeekManif i remeber right00:38
ct529_joeoshawa: you have to login always I think ....00:38
GeekManoh XP00:39
Jordan_UAikar: Because they are irresponsible not to have removed the option.00:39
Jordan_UAikar: Why not just do a normal install?00:39
chovynzjoeoshawa: yes, but I need to get them to run everytime. Do you know how to answer my question?00:40
GeekManits diffrent cause with wubi your not suposed to change your partitions which is why i used it00:40
AikarJordan_U: will a normal install resize partition and add entry to windows bootloader too?00:40
Jordan_UAikar: Yes.00:40
Aikarok00:40
GeekManits all under the windows partitions00:40
Aikarbah gotta burn a cd is why i wanted to do wubi :p00:40
joeoshawasorry no i don't my brother was admin for many servers they all worked on bootup00:40
chovynzjoeoshawa: before I login. e.g. start specific program before anyone logs in, so that users can login to that program. :)00:41
GeekManusb?00:41
Jordan_UAikar: You can also use a flash drive.00:41
Aikardont have an extra to wipe to put it on00:41
GeekManyeah when i first read about wubi i thought the same thing00:41
Aikarill just grab a cd lol00:41

izinucsKM0201: ah.. they made a change in 10.10.. quirky.. you have to click the speaker in the notification appelate to see the options that are there.. How un-intuitive..00:45
badger32daflyingturtle: check out iwconfig / wpa_supplicant. those are the two programs that will help you00:45
KM0201izinucs: i'll be darned, i had proably clicked that a zillion times, and never noticed that00:45
chovynzct529_: if by services you mean programs like mysql (everytime I bootup, before login) then yes.00:45

rwwleapy0yo: LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.org that has the support of a large amount of the OpenOffice community. Ubuntu's been using the set of patches that make up most of LibreOffice's changes for a long time anyway, so us replacing OO with LO in Ubuntu makes a lot of sense.05:22
KM0201john38: whats your wireless device anyway?..05:22
john38KM0201, trust me 10.10 has bugs you can notice it05:23
john38KM0201, Toshiba Satellite A66005:23
KM0201john38: i've been using 10.10 since it came out, and i've had exactly zero problems05:23
KM0201john38: thats a laptop model, not a wireless model05:23

gunndawgjohn38, no driver installing, tweaking or anything05:30
ibnarrashidjohn38: you can try to get a reading of your wireless chipset using 'lspci | grep net'05:30

crondyondering, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/05:35

yonderingcrond, thank you.. unfortunately, I've tried this on my ao751h, and it seems to create other problems.05:36
crondyondering, you can also try the fbdev, iegd and emgd drivers05:37
Jon--Loshki: Oh. He wasn't asking for help. Basically, his sol'n was to load OneNote in Wine. That'd mean I'd have to go torrent one, I just had my buddy send me some class notes in .one. =(05:37
crondyondering, egmd is Intel's 'official' driver for the gma50005:37
yonderingcrond, oh, really.. thank you.  making a note of that, will give it a go.05:37
yonderingI wonder if the egmd one will handle unity..05:38
wjlafranceFor some reason, when I open Network Manager in Gnome, none of my interfaces show in the list05:38
john38KM0201, its the network controller right05:38
Jon--Loshki: There are clones of OneNote but they don't open OneNote files. Is the FOSS community currently unable to open OneNote files at ALL? Do I have to go pirate/buy Microshaft software and wine it to use this thing?05:38
KM0201john38: well, probably, but you may well have 2 network controllers, you should be able to tell which one is wireless05:38

john38KM0201, yeah it has ethernet port05:42
KM0201..05:42
KM0201john38: is it hooked up?05:42
LoshkiJon--: well, it *is* a proprietary format. If it isn't published it has to be reverse-engineered and that takes time. Your best bet is to ask someone with access to OneNote to print it to pdf for you I think....05:42
john38KM0201, yeah05:42
john38KM0201, ....getting updates05:43
Jon--Loshki: The worst part is this guy is in my software engineering project-based course on my team and he sends the linux guy a .one file. I got some real rockstars on my team. ;)05:43

LoshkiJon--: can -> can't05:44

Jon--Loshki: Not bashing FOSS community but having at least read-only reverse engineering of the format.. I figured that'd be a priority for OpenOffice. I guess not.05:45
john38KM0201, thanks i'll try it05:45
mneptokJon--: as you said, there aren;t even apps on Windows that do this05:45
crondI can't fathom why you'd want to take notes on a tablet via pen input.  Typing is so much faster.  But to each their own.05:45

w1n5onI just upgraded the hard drive and reinstalled05:50
crondw1n5on, hm05:50
Jon--KM0201: You should support the most prominent offerings for most, if not all software out there. OpenOffice competes with Microsoft Office. Gimp, Photoshop. Etc. The only decent app for a tablet right now is OneNote. I've used a tablet, it's about 1000x better than the FOSS or paid Windows alternatives... and there is zero support in linux. Even the clones to compete with onenote are weak....05:51

yonderingcool, it's an option when you're booting from the cd.   if the disc check shows issues you'll need to burn another disc and possibly download a fresh image.06:02
yondering10.10 did not remove the option.06:03

Yuyocrond, what do you mean by "your lspci result"?06:04
Jon--cool: Computer -> Window -> Enraged jumping up and down.  AKA : It is beyond my level of experience to repair boot disk corruption in-place... Probably not even possible, if you have binaries corrupted, how do you plan on installing?06:04
KM0201cool: you'd be playing w/ fire, i would download/burn again06:04
Jon--Oo06:04
Jon--Can he somehow pull the disk?06:04

coolmbr is broken as well,06:08
Jon--cool: agh. fyl. really?06:08
yonderinghmm.  I think there's a way to install it from within windows still, but I don't know if it installs to a virtual diskfile in the windows partition or if it actually does a proper installation.06:08
vikingurinncool, you must have at least one friend willing to let you borrow a computer for long enough to burn a disc.06:09

Loshkix2z_: But I'd guess your hard drive is shorted...06:23
imittf-droid and ttf-umefont has no signature. is it some error on my side?06:23

soreau! sudo | the_pharoah06:24
ubottuthe_pharoah: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

soreaufranzce: If you boot the computer using a live cd or usb image, you can install it to the hard drive in it's own partition. The automated process makes it very easy to do06:27
john38how do i undo the commands i entered in??06:27
soreauNineTeen67Comet: How is that related to ubuntu?06:27
soreaujohn38: You don't. What did you do?06:27
yonderingNineTeen67Comet, I've got a 28" LCD, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything beyond normal gaming/desktop use.06:28
NineTeen67CometNot necisarily related; I just trust the advice I get from fellow Bunter's ..06:28

franzcesoreau: i can transfer my wubi in the hard drive by using live cd?06:28

john38soreau, how do i uninstall06:28
soreau! ot | NineTeen67Comet06:28
ubottuNineTeen67Comet: #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!06:28
NineTeen67Cometyondering: I'm not a big gamer/movie watcher, but I do love my desktop space (currently have 2 19" HP monitors).06:28

Diverdudehello, I have 2 computers running ubuntu. When i do remote control of one computer from the other using the remote desktop tool, it is exremely laggy. Often the picture is not even transmitted even though its over cabled  local area network. How can i make the remote tool more usable?07:12
bethdocomputer just seems to be stuck on this screen07:13
omacbethdo: when you say you did the "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"         Did you see gdm stop, then blink a bit and then come back to the terminal?07:13

bethdono07:13
omacbethdo there is a way to reconfigure the xserver hangon.07:13
Blue1Diverdude: well reduce the colour depth to 8 bit.  you also might consider ssh for remote admin07:13
DiverdudeBlue1, did that...cannot use neither ssh nor ssh -X has to be graphical where user can follow my actions07:14
soreaubethdo: So you're saying the live session worked fine to install ubuntu but when you rebooted, it wont boot?07:14
omacbethdo:  try this:  sudo dpgk-reconfigure gdm07:14
Blue1Diverdude: then reduce your colour depth. that's what I had to do.07:14
bethdoyea that is it in a nutshell07:14
rumpe1soreau, he boots to a login-shell .... like in recovery-mode i guess07:14
delinquentmeanyone know what the ant package does?07:14

Akytarusdepends on system10:25
repgahrollhello guys! How can i disable that graphical login screen after boot?10:25

Andy-at-homeguys, ive got a persistant netbook ubuntu on my usb drive but when it boots up a menu appears to either 'try' or 'install', im assumming this option is redundant since its already installed, how can i get rid of that option from appearing?10:27
repgahrollczardoz, well. but i was talking about the login screen (that asks for username password) i think you're talking about the loading screen, right?10:28
Yoko_anybody here got experience with setting up grub?10:28
Andy-at-homewhen i hit 'try' it takes me into my install with all my data but the process takes about 5min10:28
txomonczardoz: to unmount it?10:28
oCeanYoko_: better ask your real question and find out. Many users in this channel10:29
AkytarusYoko_:  depends which version10:29
Yoko_well, I've got an encrypted partition, and /boot on a separate partition. i'm trying to figure out how to install windows and recover ubuntu after that with this kind of setup10:29
Akytarusczardoz:  umount  "wherever you mounted it"10:29
Yoko_in the official instructions, it involves specifying the root directory, but of course that's encrypted10:30
Yoko_any way i can point it to /boot instead?10:30
oCeanrepgahroll: for that you should disable the 'gdm10:31
oCeanoops10:31
repgahrolloCean, yep... that seem to be what i need...10:32
oCeanrepgahroll: for that you should disable the 'gdm' service from starting. There are various ways (to be found in google) I don't know which is "best" (if any)  this seems correct: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8854574&postcount=410:32

ubottuThe Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages.  If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot.  If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel.  This is normal, and not a bug.10:42

aeiouGnea, ive got two ips pointed at my server and i want to swap which one is primary10:52
Andy-at-hometheres an error appears after i select 'try', where is that logged?10:52
Gneaaeiou: well whatever has the default route is going to be considered primary10:53

aeiouGnea, what is the 'default route'?10:53
bonjoyeeAndy-at-home: its just a livecd anyways...if you want you could install ubuntu on the usb!10:53

k_szeHi guys,10:53
aeiouGnea, how do you define or how does the system determine what the 'default route' is?10:54
Gneaaeiou: it's already defined as 'gateway'10:54
Andy-at-homelol10:54
Andy-at-homeim pretty sure it is installed10:54
aeiouGnea, adding the 'gateway xx.xx.xx.xx' makes it primary?10:54

k_szeDo you know if Ubuntu (or other distros) can readily mount Windows Mobile phones as a USB drive? I don't have a machine that I can test with (USB support in VirtualBox isn't exactly reliable either.)10:55
Andy-at-homeall my programs are installiing to the live version10:55

IledenHi! My Ubuntu system is unbearably laggy. There are no resrouce-hogging processes, dmesg doesnt say anything weird (afaik), the system has 2GB tested memory, and processor is fast enough. The lag seems to affect window rendering operations only. Compiz runs very fast. Turning compiz off doesn't help. What's wrong? Any diagnostic help is appreciated!12:03
Renskianything odd looking under top?12:03
IledenRenski: no12:03
czardozIleden, any proprietary drivers?12:03

suicidalmindsterminal present12:04
Gneasuicidalminds: okay, open a new terminal and:  iwconfig wlan012:04
ikoniaIleden: if it's visual, it's going to be a video card support/intergration issue12:04

knottieI'll be more specific. I removed my video card and now I'm using video chipset that came with the mobo, and all I get a terminal.13:10
Calinouis the latest version of gnome better than the 2.30.0?13:10
Gnearepgahroll: well, if he wants windows on it, he could just ask in #windows, where it's supported :)13:10
Dr_WillisCalinou:  no idea. Id have to google for it. im not too big of a hurry to try the latest gnoime13:10

repgahrollGnea, yeah... you're right. :)13:11
Dr_Willismade2shred:  some clients make it harder then others. check your clients guides. Im using qbtorrent (i think) mainly these days13:11
Dr_Willismost full featured clients can auto-download/setup the list via plugins. or othre ways13:12
made2shredDr_Willis: using transmission13:12

alexblighSomeone has installed a server for me running Lucid and has installed a pile of stuff I don't need on a server (e.g. X). What is the easiest way (without doing a reinstall, and over ssh) to return it to a base server config?13:21
=== ankgui_ is now known as ankgui
aciculaalexbligh: there is no meta-package uninstall, but if you pick main package like the xfree package it should get pretty much everything that depends on it13:22
aciculaalexbligh: or look in /var for the apt history/cache and make a list of recently installed packages13:23
schnuffle1alexbligh: there no such things as a base server config, so sort out which services you need and uninstall the rest. Maybe debfoster can help you with that13:23
BluesKajbenzap, maybe the rsa key neds uodating open /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub delete the key and ssh again, it'll generate a new one for that IP13:23

hemisphereI am a Java developer and I noticed my Java jar files could not be set as executable14:10
Fuchshemisphere: you don't need to14:10
edgyFuchs: because this is what I thought twist command would do, am I wrong?14:10
Fuchshemisphere: java -jar  <file>  should not care whether it is executable14:10
hemisphereI am trying to do the double click to execute thing14:11
JenniferB2hi folks.. I have installed a minimum version of ubuntu server ... and I would like to now install a minimum version of the gnome desktop on it.. without all the extra crap .. any tips on how I can do this ?14:11
Fuchsedgy: first time I see that, where did you get that?14:11
hemisphereusually before the recent upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10, i could simply allow the jar file set as executable bit and I could double click and it would launch14:11
ghostcubesoreau: o.o14:12
Fuchshemisphere: for that you don't need to make it executable14:12
Fuchshemisphere: you have to tell the file manager (or desktop environemtn) that .jar files should be opened with  `java -jar $file`14:12
hemispherehow do I do that ?14:12
Fuchshemisphere: so you need to add a corresponding mimetype binding14:12
hemispherewhat is that ?/14:12

edgyFuchs: I just tried telnet to port 22 and it works but why it doesn't work with ssh?!14:15
Fuchsedgy: possible, yes14:15
hemisphereThe file '/xxx/yyyyyyyyy.jar' 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.14:15
schnuffle1edgy: because ssh is not a text based protocol14:15
hemisphereI have done that to jar files a while ago and it has never failed to launch a jar on double click14:16
hemisphereI suspect the recent update to Ubuntu have caused it to go abit off...14:16
edgyschnuffle1: can you explain more about what text based protocol means? or show me a doc for this and how can I differentiate?14:17
hemisphereI have tried using chmod 777 on my jar file and double click jar doesn't work too14:17
schnuffle1edgy: protocolls like imap,http,pop3,telnet are pruly text based so you can emulate it with telnet, ssh is not14:18
schnuffle1edgy: purly14:18
schnuffle1edgy: text based means that all the communication is done in ascii14:19

sjskanthHi everybody14:26
hemispherepreviously it wasn't that way. I could execute jar files by double clicking on usb stick14:26
aciculacivixier: means its missing a library, either you deleted it, its poorly packaged, or you are using some special apt rules to pin/remove packages14:26
civixierschnuffle1: hamachi. I dont know if it is 32 or 64-bit. could it be that it is 32-bit?14:26
erUSULhemisphere: most external filesystems are mounted noexec this days afaik14:26

Pici!plymouth | DrGrov14:27
ubottuDrGrov: Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation.  To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u »14:28
civixierschnuffle1: where can I find what I need and how do i install that? :)14:28
Fuchshemisphere: why do you want it to? Again: the x bit does not change anything14:28
Fuchshemisphere: remount it without noexec, but it won't help at all regarding your problem14:28
schnuffle1civixier:  you know how to open a terminal?14:28
DrGrovPici: Ok, that seems pretty easy. How about the resolution? Can I use the Startup Manager that is in the Ubuntu Software Center?14:28
repgahrollfrom terminal, i can run " xinit & "; however, when i put it on a script called from ~/.profile, it doesn't work. athough, if i remove the & from the script it works... what's wrong?14:28
civixierschnuffle1: yea :) is it in apt-get? whats it called?14:28
gunndawgwhere do you download plymouth themes14:28
SkilZoops14:28
FucoFuchs, however, that changes the look a bit. They are now metalic and not the orange/dark as before. But I guess all I have to change is "metacity" (that'd be the name of skin?)14:28
SkilZI accidently done grep LOTR /usr/share/calendar/calendar.history, how do I undo it?14:29
schnuffle1civixier: yes: do a sudo aptitude search libcrypto14:29
FuchsFuco: no, metacity is the window manager, you don't really want to change that14:29

joeoshawasharpclaw faster connection?15:15
juniourSharpclaw if valibe take it from friend15:16
schnuffle1obscurant1st: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so15:16
Clavin12schnuffle1, I forced it to power down, thinking it would destroy it, but it booted fine.15:16
juniourSharpclaw you have to download it15:16
goltoofhow would i go about finding and killing whatever is locking admin dir?  i asked this before to no avail15:16
ActionParsnipgoltoof: with all those Qt deps? May as well use Kubuntu15:16
Rodenskyhello. how do i disable auto case-change in libreoffice?15:16
SharpclawNo faster connection and I'm giving it to a friend. LOL.15:16

Clavin12schnuffle1, yup15:17
goltoofActionParsnip:  sorry?  think that was for someone else..15:17
ActionParsnipgoltoof: try lsof and grep the output15:17
joeoshawayou could have a disk mailed to you if your in the states15:17
joeoshawabut that would take longer15:17
gunndawgThank you ActionParnsip15:17

joeoshawamaybe its my router or something torrents are never fast here i been trying to fix that15:19
genii-aroundkibibyte: Your first rule automatically excludes the next rule15:19
joeoshawaport forwarded and everything15:20
kibibytegenii-around, but deny is first and allow is second15:20
Clavin12schnuffle1, this is even more interesting. Under about ubuntu it tells me i'm using 11.04 natty narwhall15:20
ActionParsnipgoltoof: k3b is a KDE app so will need tonnes of Qt packages to run as well as the packages they need and so on. This adds a tonne of extra data to your OS and for something as trivial as a CD burner15:20
izinucsSharpclaw: by using the torrent from ubuntu.com and then transmission... whatever the default is.. but then I have a pretty speedy internet cable connection.. dl speeds of 3m+15:20
kibibyteit should deny all, then allow some15:20
gunndawgActionParnsip, before I read this site, does this work with 10.10? so far it discusses 10.0315:20
goltoofActionParsnip:  ah, good to know15:20

genii-aroundkibibyte: It's first match wins15:20
schnuffle1Clavin12: So you didn't upgrade to maverick but to 11.0415:20

daeda1ushi there... about to make the big change over to ubuntu from win7. 32bit or 64?15:23
Da|Mummy32bit15:23
SharpclawGTG. Firefox is being cranky! THX.15:23
daeda1usany reasons for this :D15:23
Clavin12schnuffle1, I am now performing a partial upgrade as recommended by the update manager15:23
Da|Mummyi made the mistake of trying 64, too many things not working right15:23
martianDa|Mummy: like?15:23
ActionParsnipJuniour: exactly15:23
Da|Mummymain ones for me were wine and flash15:23
Clavin12schnuffle1, I think I can take it from here now. Thanks!15:23

Aikarim having a weird issue installing ubuntu to my laptop. i booted from cd and got the little keyboard = man icon at bottom same as desktop, then screen goes black, and its staying black even though i hear cd spinning up and down. been black for like 15 mins15:24
Aikarany ideas?15:24
Da|Mummyit works for some stuff, bit ive had trouble with wine and 64bit15:24
daeda1usi'll stick to 32bit for the time being then15:24
bazhangAikar, md5 the iso? burn at low speeds then do the disk integrity check?15:24
bazhang!md5 | Aikar15:25
ubottuAikar: 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_Windows15:25
karlo94my head-phone-microphone do not work, but the head-phones work, and speakers works to, anybody know how I can fix that, I tryed alsamixer..15:25
martianAikar: you may want to do some research into installing linux on that laptop. Is it older? It may need some special kernel options or something in order to run linux.15:25
ActionParsnipdaeda1us: what is the main use of the system? How much RAM is available? What CPU are you using?15:25
Aikarbazhang: installed with exact same disc on desktop last night15:25
Aikarworked fine15:25
goltoofActionParsnip: so many open files, what exactly qualifies as an open file?15:25
bazhangAikar, check the bootoptions then15:25
ActionParsnipgoltoof: its an OS so a lot of files are used15:25
Da|Mummyroyale1223, got anything?15:25
schnuffle1goltoof:  nearly everything is a file in unix15:26
Aikarhow would i do that? it boots from cd and thats it...15:26
Aikari dont get an option to do anthing15:26
bazhangAikar, well then you may wish to try the alternate installer15:26
daeda1usActionParsnip: the main use of the system is general web browsing and gaming... available ram is 4gb... cpu is an old core 2 quad q660015:26
ActionParsnipgoltoof: an open file is one being used by a thread15:27
bazhangAikar, presumably this is the live cd you are referring to15:27
Aikarno15:27
martianAikar: Is it an older laptop? Have you tried searching the web to see if others have had trouble installing linux on the same machine?15:27
Aikarnot really, its an i515:27
g0blindisconnect15:27
Aikardell latitude E641015:27
goltoofschnuffle1:  yes, but there's a difference between open and non open files... ActionParsnip:  I know what lsof and grep do, but what do i grep to determine what's locking the admin directory?15:27
ActionParsnipdaeda1us: that's about 400 times faster than all my CPUs combined15:27
Aikarhttp://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/fix-dell-latitude-e6410-black-screen-during-ubuntu-10-04-installation.html  looks relevant15:28

obscurant1stsomebody pls tell me! i had installed KDE and now i revreted back to gnome, but still the screen just before login screen shows Kubuntu, what to do with that?15:29
Da|Mummyyes15:29
martianAikar: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+dell+latitude+E6410&l=115:29
schnuffle1goltoof:  lsof | grep /admin/dir/15:29
bazhangmartian, dont do that here. Period.15:29
ActionParsnipdaeda1us: if its simple web browsing and such 32bit will be fine. I'd install the PAE kernel so you can upgrade easily if you buy more RAM15:29
goltoofschnuffle1:  that's all i needed15:29
micromI need to get this version of cairo to fix a critical bug https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/1.10.2-1ubuntu115:30

daeda1usActionParsnip, 4gb the max RAM for 32bit?15:30
Da|Mummyroyale1223, only one of those ubuntus on there should work right now, ive formatted the hdd since but those still show up and i want to get rid of them, and i also dont have any windows on there either15:30

micromI tried different apt-get install cairo=1.10.2, apt-get install cairo_1.20.2, but I must be doing something wrong15:30
martianbazhang: I see no harm and it shows people how simple it is15:31
schnuffle1goltoof: what is the admin dir? do you mean /root?15:31
ActionParsnipgoltoof: if there was no difference between open and closed files, lsof wouldn't exist15:31
bazhangmartian, its not acceptable. Don't do it again.15:31
royale1223Da|Mummy: which ubuntu release are you using?15:31
martianI feel it is acceptable. Period.15:31

BluesKajjoeoshawa, , you can set the ports for different apps on like torrent clients on your your router , by giving a port range ..best to keep them above 50K , 50100 to 50120 for example15:36

joeoshawamy isp detects the torrent on a say port 5461 and starts throttling15:41

AbhiJitgunndawg, from their web site.15:41
gunndawgAbhiJit, thanks15:41
mbeierljoeoshawa: typically isps do not track the individual port number used when throttling.  that would be extremely sophisticated and we all know how lazy they are.  they are throttling you based on udp I'll bet, therefore changing ports won't help you15:41
joeoshawaso if when they start throttling i switch to 5679 then it gets past it15:41

dr_WillisFuco edit 40_custome is one way16:03
Aethelrickd4n1s, errors during compile usually indicate that you're machine is missing a dependency, or that the software your compiling has issues. read documentation supplied with software to figure out what dependencies you require16:03
cdavisKM0201: wifi-radar is a "graphical" utility. I want something that will run in the console, like kismet only not nearly as sophisticated16:03
Aethelrickd4n1s, preferably, get a binary package instead of compiling software if these concepts are alien to you16:04

dr_Willisinstall it if its not insralled16:35
BluesKajChipCherou, ok then you probly need a static IP setup on your networked pcs , correct ?16:35
Mark_Mdr_Willis dumb question, what is pastebin?16:35

Tjololo12Ok, new data on my box. I was talking to Anubis and schnuffle1, but I think the latter left.....I've swapped out the PSU. The box boots to the login screen, sits there for 10-15 seconds, then reboots. It's done this four times since I started writing this message...Any takers?16:36
ChipCherouBluesKaj, Yep. Id like to se tthe ip's to 0.0.0.0statically16:36

AethelrickJoseeAntonioR, I'm looking online and not seeing anyone with more than 1024x768 resolution16:37
AethelrickJoseeAntonioR, is this card capable of more?16:37
JoseeAntonioRAethelrick: yes, on Windows I was working with 1280x102416:38
ckenda1_79Is there any way for an Ubuntu Desktop to report it's IP/Hostname to a Windows DNS server in Active Directory? (like Windows Machines do)16:38
Tjololo12mOHawk: I don't know. You have to check your console. It should output a link (such as paste.ubuntu.com/12KJH or however they're formatted), then share that link with us.16:38
NewToUbuntuwhere is /usr/bin/din?16:38
Tjololo12At least, that's how fpaste does it with fedora, and that's how I found pastebinit16:38
Mark_Mdr_Willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/559579/16:38
BluesKajChipCherou, each pc should have a different static IP , you can setup each pc in /etc/network/interfaces for example http://paste.ubuntu.com/559580/16:39

crondthis is retarded.16:44
NewToUbuntua software synthesizer (instrument basically)16:44
BluesKajChipCherou, ethernet connection?16:44
ikoniaeXpLoD: you shouldn't sudo su16:44
Mark_Mdr_Willis, the problem is when I run sudo grub-probe -d /dev/sda1 --target=partmap it says msdos16:44
ikoniaeXpLoD: /root is only the root users home directory, nothing more16:44
jribeXpLoD: well what do you expect to be there?  Also use « sudo -i » instead of « sudo su » if you must16:44
ChipCherouBluesKaj, yep16:45
erUSULeXpLoD: what you expect to find there?16:45
juniourcrond in ubuntu python comes preinstalled16:45
eXpLoDwell i don't know,why i dont have acces as a normal user if there are no files in it16:45
BluesKajChipCherou, then static IP is your best bet16:45
NewToUbuntuI'mstumped because software center tells me its installed but I can't see it anywhere16:45
vavincaventi have download linuxmake: *** Pas de cibles. Arrêt.16:45
crondjuniour, nah, quickly and python-quickly.widgets I mean16:45
ikoniaeXpLoD: because it's for the root user16:46
jribeXpLoD: ls -ld /root  will reveal to you why16:46
ikoniaeXpLoD: you have no reason to be in there16:46
erUSULeXpLoD: becouse it is not your dir is root's what roots stores there is none of your business ;)16:46
vavincaventi have download linux-source, but i don't have any configure file to compile16:46
dr_WillisNewToUbuntu:  you mean you cant find an icon for it?16:46
ikoniavavincavent: you don't compile a kernel like that16:46
ChipCherouBluesKaj, Im quite sure I tried that on ll my nics and dhcp was still told to load.  But Ill try again after my machine is done doing something.  ty for yorur assisntace.  If it isn't fixed Ill be back16:46
BluesKajChipCherou, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html16:47
NewToUbuntuYes, but I can't find it just to run it either16:47
KM0201NewToUbuntu: can you start it in terminal?16:47
vavincaventikonia, how can i do?16:47
NewToUbuntuHow would i do that?16:47
ikoniavavincavent: why do you want to build a kernel ?16:47
=== barf_ is now known as barf
ChipCherouBluesKaj, thanks  going to read now16:47
KM0201NewToUbuntu: well whats the name of the program again?16:47
AethelrickJoseeAntonioR, also, try looking in your BIOS and turning up the memory allocated to your graphics card, this may enable additional resolution options as low memory allocation locks the card to the low resolution options16:47
NewToUbuntudin is noise16:47
BluesKajChipCherou, the reason is that you're using network manager , it autoloads dhcp16:47
looseri have installed gnokii package ....but it is not running  ..how to run it through terminal16:48
KM0201NewToUbuntu: did you compile it?16:48
vavincaventikonia, i don't want to compile kernel, just module cdc-acm16:48
dr_WillisNewToUbuntu:  figure out its binary cli command to run it. Then make an icon. Or use the shell16:48
ikoniavavincavent: ok, so why does the instructions for cdc-acm say to do16:48
NewToUbuntuI really have no idea what compiling it would do, or how to do it . . .16:48
vavincaventikonia, i have an usb - rs232 not recognized16:48
KM0201NewToUbuntu: how did you install it?16:48
NewToUbuntuFrom dinisnoise.org16:49
ikoniavavincavent: that's not what I asked, I asked what did the instructions for csc-acm say to do16:49
ChipCherouBluesKaj, thanks for throwing that at me.  Thats a service that keeps interfering with some files of mine that gets annoying...perhaps disabling that will fix all my issues16:49
erUSULvavincavent: why do you need a newer cdc-acm module? ...16:49
NewToUbuntuthen it went to software center and I installed16:49
juniourNewToUbuntu alt-f2 and then type din is noise and enter16:49
vavincaventso i have added vendor id in cdc-acm.c16:49
KM0201NewToUbuntu: ok, hang on16:49
dr_WillisNewToUbuntu:  you are searvhing the installes apps sevtion of the pavkage manager?16:49

KM0201itaylor57: yeah, i'm seeing that now... i almost had to pull his teeth to get an answer16:50
vavincaventsorry, for my english, i'm french16:50
NewToUbuntuyup16:50
ikonialooser: type gnokii16:50
AethelrickJoseeAntonioR, I'm getting the feeling (from repeated googling) that the 845G integrated graphics chipset is fairly low powered and aged. You may want to simply buy a new entry level card if you're working on a desktop system  and be done with it16:50
KM0201NewToUbuntu: open a terminal and type   "din" no quotes, and hit enter... and see if it starts16:50
dr_WillisOr open the deb and look to see walhat the binaries names are16:50
dr_WillisOr check its docs .16:50
erUSULvavincavent: usb - rs232 devices so not use cdc-acm afaik. they usethis drivers ls /lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/  pl2303 is quite common16:51
ikonialooser: there should also be a menu item for iut16:51
KM0201dang, i get a ton of errors when its installed.16:51
ikoniait16:51
NewToUbuntulots of code went by but the program isn't running16:51
Mark_MLet me ask my question a different way. Is it normal to have your root='(hdX,msdosY)' in your grub.cfg?16:51
KM0201NewToUbuntu: yeah, i don't think that package is written properly... i got the same thing... you'll need to compile it from source16:51
Tjololo12Does anyone know the answer to my question? (reinstall of ubuntu 9.10, does it erase data or just replace system files?)16:52
looserikonia, ya i have a menu icon but it is not opening from there16:52
NewToUbuntuhow would I compile it from the source16:52
vavincaventsee this url, i explain : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3972196#p397219616:52
ikonialooser: open it from the command line and see what it says16:52
ikoniaNewToUbuntu: why would you want to do that16:52
KM0201NewToUbuntu: you would first get a lot more experience w/ ubuntu.16:52
BluesKajChipCherou, if you're going to use static IP , then you can just use network/interfaces which is the conf file that runs ethernet16:52
jribTjololo12: the install process formats partitions, so unless you have /home on a separate partition, you will lose data16:52
looserikonia, how to open it16:52
Tjololo12bah, ok thanks16:52
ikonialooser: type gnokii on the command line16:53
dr_WillisTjololo12:  a new install will want to reformat16:53
=== JoFo_ is now known as jofo
ikonialooser: normally you have to make a config file for it to open16:53
NewToUbuntuThanks a lot by the way. this program looks very interesting. Curving your own waves, and creating multiple microtonal drones . . . but installing is proving frusterating16:53
BluesKajChipCherou, you can even remove network manager because you won't need it16:53
Tjololo12dr_Willis: isn't there some form of repair option?16:53
looserikonia, i did it ...after execution of command it is listing the all options and setting for gnokii16:53

Fucothe forum/wiki article is so blaoted it's impossible to follow16:54
FucoI've tried something but it didn't work :P (adding entry to 40_custom)16:54
jribFuco: it should be detected automatically16:54
Fucothe problem is it boots right to ubuntu and there isn't the "chose system" dialog16:54
dr_WillisNewToUbuntu:  the info at its home page16:54
jribFuco: do you see the entry if you hold down "shift" during boot?16:55
Balmunganyone able to help me edit my grub loader so i can have windows 7 on the top as the default boot and/or change the time i have to wait till it auto boots?16:55
Fucojrib, well either it isn't or the dialog where I pick the system is hiddne16:55
KM0201Fuco: it's not impossible... just not very well written...  have you ran sudo update-grub216:55
NewToUbuntuthe page I downloaded it from is pretty bare16:55
NewToUbuntudinisnoise.org16:55
FucoKM0201, I did indeed16:55
Fucolet me try the shift thing16:55
KM0201Fuco: allt hat will do is display grub..16:55
dr_WillisBalmung:  time wait is in the grub2 configs16:56
ChipCherouBluesKaj, thinking of just disabling it at first to see if theres any other issues that would arrise from it16:56

jimlovell777I'm using encfs in conjunction with Ubuntu One to store some files remotely but encrypted. This works great and I don't have to remember to do anything.

erUSULAraneidae: how are you using it?17:20
Fuchsspecies: you can resize a window at any position with this. Other window managers might use alt+right mouse instead17:20
AraneidaeFirst `padsp -d python`, then `import ossaudiodev` and finally `ossaudiodev.open('w')`17:20

JohnDoe_71Ruscompiz doesn't enable by default after loging. Visual effects don't work. But start in the manual way. ubuntu 10.0417:27
JohnDoe_71Rusdriver is fine17:27
speciesd4n1s: most of those should be installed by default17:28
speciesd4n1s: if they arent you can install them yourself17:28
ikoniad4n1s: they are in the latest ubuntu versions17:28
d4n1syeah but how?17:28
d4n1sahh ok thx17:29
nits_hunterd4n1s: dpkg -L <packagename>17:30
geekbridoes anybody know why when you try to install openjdk or sunjdk it seems to want to install a million packages including x11-common.  Is there a way to install this without installing a ton of packageS?17:30
nits_hunterguys can someone tell me what's the best ide - i am working with jsp, mysql and xhtml for my project17:30
Kyle__geekbri: Tell it not to install the reccomended packages17:30
ikonianits_hunter: ask the guys in ##java17:31
speciesyou could but bits of the jdk would be missing17:31
ikonianits_hunter: they work with java every day17:31
geekbriKyle__, how does one do that?17:31
nits_hunterikonia:  thanks for the tip, so the room name is #java17:32
nits_hunter?17:32
Kyle__geekbri: I think it's apt-get install --no-reccomends, but i"m looking in my bash history, hold on a sec.17:32
FucoWhen I try to boot windows it says NTLDR IS MISSING... how can I restore it without scraping grub?17:32
geekbriKyle__, thanks.  It just seems crazy to install all of these packages when all I want is the java run time enviroment in the console.17:32
Irreducibilisgeekbri, That's not to say that some dependancies are simply unneeded17:32
Kyle__apt-get install --no-install-recommends17:32
Kyle__geekbri: Thats the thing. --no-install-recommends.17:33
erUSULFuco: use fixmbr froma  windows install cd recovery console; then you will have to reinstall grub but that's quite easy with a ubuntu livecd17:33
Kyle__geekbri: It won't get rid of things that are actually required, it will still install those, but it will get rid of installing all the miscellanious crap that ubuntu wants to install as well :)17:33
anon33_When I try to install a package (in this case, ia32-libs), it tells me it has unmet dependencies and won't be installed. The E: is Broken Packages17:34
anon33_Anyone know whatsup?17:34
itaylor57geekbri: all you need to install is the jre not the sdk17:34
Fucowell OK17:34
geekbriitaylor57, i found even the JRE wanted to install packages i had no use for.17:34
Irreducibilisanon33_, Are you simply fetching it using apt-get, or are you trying to manually compile it from source?17:34
itaylor57geekbri: good luck tracking down the errors and finding the dependancies at run time17:35
Fucoanother thing, why is sound so messed up on linux? I've tried ubuntu, mint and debian (which are all kind of the same tho) and every time I play smoething it skips and lags ... I have the most common audio card every (onboard realtek AC97). One would think that after 10 years or what such a basic thing would work out of the box17:35
anon33_Irreducibilis: It's a 'sudo apt-get install' command.17:35
geekbriitaylor57, it was more things like asound, and x11-common that i dont want.  I can always install thngs like debuggers after the fact17:36
Irreducibilisanon33_, That seems odd, considering apt is supposed to automatically resolve and get dependancies as well.17:36
ikoniaFuco: mail realtek and ask them why they don't make the "drivers" open source then, instead of complaining to linux, complain to the vendor for not having Linux support as good as you'd like17:36
Fucodo you think fedora might work or should I go right back to win? :D17:36
anon33_Irreducibilis: Yup - that's why I have no idea what's going on.17:36
Kyle__Fuco: I've never had an issue with _any_ distro playing on an AC97 codec audio card.  Either your hardware is screwed up, or your system is under way _way_ too much load when you go to play audio.17:36
Fucowell I do exactly nothing and it works flawlessly on windows17:37
Fucoand mac17:37
IrreducibilisFuco, I use Fedora17:37
al09?17:37
ikoniaKyle__: some models (3d sound things) don't work well, due to the software layer they use17:37
ikoniaFuco: windows has no relevance to it's performance and stability in Linux17:37
Fucoikonia, maybe it doesn't, I'm just saying it works so it's not a hardware issue17:37
Fucolike messed up chip or something17:37
ikoniaFuco: it can be a hardware issue, an incompatability or miss-configuration17:37
Kyle__ikonia: The 3d part of it may have issues, but standard mono and stereo stound?  I've nver seen it have issues.17:38
Fucoincompatibility with what?17:38
IrreducibilisHardware issues can also include drivers.17:38
Fucodistro or the card?17:38
ikoniaKyle__: agreed, but some cards as I've said rely on a software layer just to work17:38
ikoniaFuco: Linux + card17:39
IrreducibilisFuco, It's not distro-specific, but driver-specific.17:39
Fucobecause this is the most common card used on laptops pretty much by everyone... I'd assume that this isn't that common of a thing17:39
ikoniaFuco: that doesn't mean it's supported with Linux17:39
Kyle__ikonia: Hu.  And I thought that sort of braindamnage only happened with USB devices :)17:39
ikoniaFuco: ATI is a very common video card, but that has terrible support with Linux17:39
Fucono, but I would hit like 100000000 results on google if it was17:39
Irreducibilisikonia, Haven't they written appropreate drivers?17:39
fool_Kyle__: i just wanna try :D :)17:39
IrreducibilisATI themselves.17:40
Fucowell I'm just asking what are my options17:40
ikoniaIrreducibilis: I don't know, check it out, I don't know what realtek's stance on Linux support is17:40
FucoI read somewhere to remove pulseaudio17:40
FucoI have no idea what that is17:40
ikoniaIrreducibilis: the ATI drivers are poor17:40
IrreducibilisI see.17:40
fool_does anyone know a good lightweight bittorrent tracker ?17:40
IrreducibilisIt doesnt matter anyways, considering my laptop uses intel graphics.17:41
Kyle__fool_: OK, now that's a good answer.17:41

xorconi installed ubuntu 10.10 on an old G4 ppc laptop but when i try to activate the b43 drivers for the wireless card the application just freezes and goes on a loop, any ideas?17:42
ikoniaxorcon: where did you get the PPC 10.10 port17:42
xorconikonia: to say the truth i don't remember xD, i googled it and found it somewhere17:43
xorconikonia: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.10/release/ here if i remember correctly17:43
Matt-_-hi Km0201 :) how are you?17:43
KM0201awesome, i just got level 25 in frozen bubble...lol17:44
Matt-_-lol17:44
ikoniaxorcon: I got it, PPC got dropped to community support so I was curious to if it was an official release or a community one17:44
KM0201i belive PPC is a community release.17:45
lea123Ubuntu 10.10 freezes most of  the times when I open too many windows... I get the black and white screen..17:45
KM0201!ppc17:45
ubottuPowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ17:45
KM0201Fuco: did you figure your problem out17:46
Dr_Willis_grub2's os-prober seems to have a few issues seeing windows properly on some systems. :(17:46
Fuco KM0201: about what now? I have several problems :D17:47
Fucothe boot thing?17:47
KM0201Fuco: yeah, windows not gettimg picked up ing rub17:47
xorconKM0201: can you suggest me any light and stable linux distros for ppc?17:47
KM0201der...17:47
KM0201xorcon: how "light"... what are your system specs?17:47
FucoKM0201,  yea I can get to the menu now, but it say NTLDR NOT FOUND when I try to boot up from that disc17:47
Dr_Willis_xorcon:  theres very few ppc disrtos out these days that are well supported.17:47
Fucoso I guess I have to reinstall it and then reinstall grub or something17:47
xorconKM0201: G4 1.2hgz 512mb ram17:48
Dr_Willis_xorcon:  lubuntu should work on that. If you can find a ppc version17:48
KM0201xorcon: i like Debian... it's *similar* to ubuntu... but don't expect much tech support other than *RTFM!*17:49
xorconDr_Willis_: i found a ppc version but it was bugged and i couldn't activate the b43 wireless drivers, also it wasn't light at all17:49
nabukadnezar43guess how can i change the dns servers in ubuntu17:49
nabukadnezar43i changed resolv.conf but it's reset after restart17:49
KM0201xorcon: ah, so you need wirless support as well.17:49
nabukadnezar43*guess=guys17:49
Dr_Willis_xorcon:  lubuntu is about as light a linux disrto as you are going to find. Unless you use some minimal-install and just install a windopw manager.17:49
Seveasnabukadnezar43, rightclick on the network-manager icon, select edit connections. Pick the one you want to edit and change the dns servers17:49
xorconKM0201: yes17:50
Matt-_-Km0201... i've been using ubuntu for a week and everything is good and cool, but my notebook tends to overheat, even when i'm only using firefox...17:50
Dr_Willis_xorcon:  PPC is slowly dieing off. getting wireless working may be hard in any disrto.17:50
nabukadnezar43Seveas: i need to enter ips too there17:50
nabukadnezar43Seveas: but i dont want to set up a static ip17:50
}dec3pti0n{I just installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook ed. and I'm having problems with vpnc ... I don't see the tun module with lsmod and I have done a search with find and I can't see any tun.ko neither17:50
KM0201xorcon: sadly, Dr_Willis_ is right... i personally would look at Debian17:50
Seveasnabukadnezar43, you can do dhcp17:50
KM0201Matt-_-: it's over heating?... is the fan running?17:50
xorconKM0201: ok i will give it a try17:51
itaylor57KM0201: looks like the recent kernel has resolved my wireless issues17:51
KM0201itaylor57: :)17:51
nabukadnezar43Seveas: ok thanks i did not see that option first time i checked17:51
Seveasnabukadnezar43, select "Automatic (DHCP) addresses only"17:51
KM0201itaylor57: wasnt it an intel?17:51
Fucoso it seems like raeltek have some linux drivers, but only for 260/262... I have 268. Well let's give it a try  anyway17:51
kreignffool_, how lightweight?17:51
itaylor57yep17:51
kreignfoops, was way behind in buffer.17:51
KM0201thats what i thought.. thats good, there was someone else w/ that prob last night17:51
fool_kreignf: very light weight17:51
}dec3pti0n{is the tun module in a separate pkg on 10.10 ?17:51
Matt-_-KM0201... yes, the fan runs fast (but now i'm on win7)17:52
fool_kreignf: preferably runs on flat file or sqlite, 20 clients max17:52
KM0201Matt-_-: i mean, is it running under Linux17:52
xorconalso what about netflix on ubuntu? i've searched around but it looks like the only solution is with a virtual machine, right?17:52
Dr_Willis_xorcon:  you got it.17:52
Matt-_-yes, i meant it runs fast on linux and not when i'm on win17:52
jstooneHi guys, am fooling around with some .sh scripts, and I'm really not used to this language, but what's the best way to start/stop an action on keyinput?17:52
KM0201xorcon: pretty much, but on a machine that old, w/ that little ram, i wouldn't expect much w/ virtual machine.17:53
Kyle__xorcon: Yes.  Netflix relies on silverlight to communicate with computers (not sure aobut other devices).17:53
kreignffool_, rtorrent might do the trick. it monitors a dir for .torrent files and will dump your working data to the appropriate/configured directory, as well as the 'finished' data. it's console based, and it'll run just fine on something like a 400Mhz machine w/ 128M w/o issue.17:53
KM0201Matt-_-: oh... so its not overheating in linux, its overheating in windows?17:53
Matt-_-when i shutdown ubuntu and try to reboot it can't do that... my notebook shuts down abruptly17:53
kreignffool_, client, tracker... not much of a difference is there? at any rate, I think it should be able to serve as both.17:53
Kyle__xorcon: There is a rather rudimentary silverlight plugin for linux+firefox, but netflix won't use it.17:53
SeveasKyle__, won't moonlight work?17:53
Seveasah :)17:53
TaravelHi, I should update the kernel of ubuntu 10.10 to a newer version. Can I use the packages for natty in this page? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/17:53
Matt-_-KM0201, no it's the contrary17:53
fool_kreignf: erhh yes there is lol :)17:53
Dr_Willis_jstoone:  in bash? You may want to check the advancedbash scripting guide. Normally bash script dont work that way.17:53
Kyle__Seveas: Not as far as I know.17:53
KM0201Matt-_-: now i'm lost.. you said just a minute ago, your fan was running on linux.17:54
kreignffool_, well nevermind then. I haven't a clue.17:54
xorconKM0201: no i wouldn't even try on that one, i'd use on another machine17:54
SeveasTaravel, why do you want to update?17:54
KM0201xorcon: oh ok.. :)17:54
Matt-_-yes, it's running fast because it tends to overheat17:54
nabukadnezar43guys, how can i disable tearing in compiz (already selected sync to vblank)17:54
KM0201ok..17:54
joeoshawadisable tearing?17:55
nabukadnezar43also enabled tearfree desktop in amdcccle17:55
Dr_Willis_nabukadnezar43:  what video chipset?17:55
SharpclawGuys, MAJOR problem... I can't run Ubuntu.17:55
nabukadnezar43amd's r700 chipset with fglrx driver17:55
xorconKM0201: maybe you can help on this one too, the other machine is an imac with the bluetooth mouse and keyboard from apple, last time i tried (ubuntu 10.4) they worked fine during the installation but then stopped17:55
joeoshawasharpclaw why17:55
jstooneDr.Willis: That's what i thought.. can you recommend any other languages, cause i'm useing menencoder and arecord to capture sound/video from webcam, for fun.17:55
KM0201Matt-_-: is the laptop actually getting hot, or are you just assuming it is, because the fan is constantly running?17:55
SharpclawNot sure, It says that a file is missing.17:56
allureHi guys.. I'm trying to connect to a VPN but I keep getting this error: "GRE: Bad checksum from pppd." What could it be?17:56
edwardteachjstoone, there's a bash channel #bash!17:56

joeoshawasorry Sharpclaw what file17:57
paulohow can I remove Libre Office from my computer?17:57
Dr_Willis_paulo:  how did you install it?17:57
SharpclawNot sure. It says "Install Ubuntu" on my falsh drive (USB) in My computer. (Still using Windows :()17:57
jstooneDr_willis: I've been working alot with that one, but only makeing scripts for my friend to his windows box, but thanks again. Have a good one.17:57
TaravelBecause I'm trying to use a IR / DVB-T device following a tutorial but for this guide (that is for Arch) is needed  he kernel 2.6.36 (later is better because this let me avoid to apply some patchs). I'm using a USB installation so I don't care about crashs   Seveas17:57
pauloDr_Willis_: I`ve typed : dpkg -i *.deb17:58
joeoshawaSharpclaw are you trying to use wubi17:58
SharpclawI don't know. No?17:58
itaylor57KM0201: I was mistaken i have a Realtek17:58
KM0201itaylor57: ah ok.17:58
Dr_Willis_paulo:  then you use the package manager system to remove it.17:58
joeoshawainstall from windows?17:58
=== rulez is now known as Guest3281
SeveasTaravel, ok, then using that ppa is reasonable. Make sure you keep a maverick kernel around though so you have something to fall back on17:58
Dr_Willis_paulo:  sudo apt-get remove WHATEVERITSCALLED  or use a gui to the package manager system17:58
joeoshawaSharpclaw are you trying to install from windows?17:58
pauloBUT I want to remove it completely17:58
Kyle__Humm17:59
Dr_Willis_paulo:  use the 'purge' option instead of remove then.17:59
itaylor57KM0201: I do remember that the Intel doesn't work with n networks I believe17:59
SharpclawYeah... Wait, no.17:59
Kyle__Taravel: Which DVB device are you using?  I was about to resort to trying mine under a windows VM...17:59
aguitelis anyone use Epson tx125 in ubuntu ?17:59

pauloBUT I dont know whiche dependencies of libre office are17:59
paulowich*18:00

TaravelThe DVB-T works in ubuntu 10.10 but the IR need some "hacks"18:00
pauloDr_Willis_: sudo apt-get purge libre office18:01
paulocan I type that?18:01
ChogyDanpaulo: I recently found out about debfoster for removing extra packages, but you need to know what you are doing for that18:01
Dr_Willis_paulo:  i doubt if thats the correct package name18:01
Taravel( Installing the proper firmware :) )18:01
Dr_Willis_paulo:  learn to use the TAB key to autocomplete things also.18:01
pauloBUT I ve installed the libre office18:01

paulowith tab key18:08

eXpLoDwhere can i configure compiz?18:09
ezra-spaulo maybe you don't even have them fully installed18:09
Dr_Willis_paulo:  try tab completion from  a directory Other then the one where the .deb files are18:10
Dr_Willis_paulo:  and most likely the pacakge names are like -> libreoffice3-writer   ie: without the # and _i386.deb at the end18:10
pauloEXPLAIN, please: WHY is easier to install packages on LINUX and is it HARD to take it off?18:10
ezra-spaulo,  and synaptic or apt do not try to find .deb files to remove installed packages18:10
Dr_Willis_paulo:  its hard because you dont know the fundamentals of the pacakge manager system.18:11
Dr_Willis_paulo:  using 'dpkg -i *.deb' is very very very bad habbit. I suggest never doing that again.18:11
KM0201paulo: had you done it right,it probably wouldn't be hard to uninstall18:11
noonianpaulo, it is just as easy to remove as install programs from the repos using the package managers18:11
paulothe human logical was you type remove package_name  and will be happy18:11
shcherbakpaulo: it is not.18:11
welsh_shinobiI just installed netbook edition of ubuntu to my machine to replace a broken xp install, but i put it in its own partition so i wouldnt lose my files, but now i'm in ubuntu i cant see where i need to go to mount the old partition with the files on it, any help?18:12
paulowhy not?18:12
Dr_Willis_the 'whatevername.deb' has nothing to do with the actual 'package name'18:12
KM0201paulo: you're blaming the OS for a user malfunction... if you want to find the problem, find yoru nearest mirror18:12
paulolinux doesnt make sense18:12
noonianbasically, we humans cant be trusted to use dpkg and apt knows how to do it right every time18:12
Dr_Willis_paulo:  it makes perfect sence. once you learn the fundamentals.18:12
pauloI dont want to blame the OS18:12
ChogyDanpaulo: try debfoster18:12
Dr_Willis_paulo:  the best way to try out libreoffice would have been to use a ppa repository.18:12
pauloi think that it would be better to remove packages18:12
SilverCoreAnybody here?18:12
Kyle__SilverCore: Nope.  We're all just a bunch of IRC bots.18:13
paulook, ChogyDan18:13
paulothank you for all help18:13
KM0201paulo: a few quotes:  "linux makes no sense"  "EXPLAIN, please: WHY is easier to install packages on LINUX and is it HARD to take it off?"18:13
quiescensi.. think it would be less confusing if a dozen people don't give different advice at the same time18:13
shcherbakpaulo: apt-get install is opposite to apt-get remove --purge, if you insatll from source, just follow right instructions18:13
xanguapaulo: if you don't know the package name use synaptic like you were told18:13
KM0201shcherbak: that would entail reading18:13

KM0201*reading18:13
Dr_Willis_Ultimate advice. :) if you insist on using apt from the command line..18:14
shcherbakKM0201: lol18:14
KM0201:)18:14
KM0201and spelling!18:14
pauloxangua: what about dependencies?18:14
Dr_Willis_Spelling and neatness count.18:14
Dr_Willis_paulo:  dpkg -i would not have installed all needed dependencues.. you got lucky :)18:14
shcherbakKM0201: lag, cannot see what i write18:14
KM0201shcherbak: thats some pretty bad lag18:15
KM0201and it was me that misspelled, not you18:15
ezra-spaulo, if you feel like going wild -> sudo apt-cache search libreoffice | awk '{print $1}' | grep libreoffice | sudo apt-get purge18:15

eXpLoDwhere can i configure compiz?and can somebody give me a link of all the compiz hotkeys?18:16
pauloezra-s: thank u18:16
KM0201paulo: doesn't libre office have a PPA somewhere.. why didn't you use it instead/18:16
Dr_Willis_eXpLoD:  ive never seen a single list.. many of the plugins have 'duplicate' keybindings.  I would like to see a plugin that just prints out what keys are currently used.18:16
ezra-seXistZ, there is a tool called ccsm for that18:16
joeoshawajust out of curiosity do you have to type peoples names in instead of clicking on them in all xchat versions18:16
xanguaeXpLoD: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager ; you can configure plugins with that18:16
shcherbakjoeoshawa: use <TAB>, like shch<TAB>18:17
Dr_Willis_joeoshawa:  i cant recall ever clicking on them in xchat. :)  tab key is our friend.18:17

Hans_Henrikhave a problem with a laptop, the WinXP installed on it wont boot at all, saying something about "operating system not found", and when i boot Ubuntu LiveCD, it (at first, aparently would not boot), uses 10+ hours on the loading screen to boot, how should i debug this?  ;it finally booted after loading for 10 hours +, ubuntu LiveCD 10.1018:17
ezra-spaulo, my line was incorrect -> sudo apt-cache search libreoffice | awk '{print $1}' | grep libreoffice | xargs sudo apt-get remove --purge18:18
ezra-ssorry18:18
Hans_Henrikmy dad suspects it has a harddrive problem and tries "read sector" a million times18:18
joeoshawashcherbak, thanks you name click in the other client i used18:18
ezra-sHans_Henrik, nothing much to do against a faulty harddrive, that's a hardware problem18:19
Hans_Henrikezra-s: but why would LiveCD "try ubuntu" use 10 hours++ to boot?18:19
nabukadnezar43Hans_Henrik: use that livecd to backup your data18:20
joeoshawaezra-s, actually i cannot see it being a hardware problem as that would not affect a live cd not a hdd problem anyway18:20
joeoshawaHans_Henrik, what laptop18:20
KM0201Hans_Henrik: you might have a motherboard problem18:20
Hans_Henrikjoeoshawa: Compaq Presario R300018:21

GinbuntuHans_Henrik, It is a Virtual Private Server18:24
joeoshawaHans_Henrik, its not that old how much ram do you have in it18:24
google_ruleshow to write that search rule for google to find lets say 1 week old stuff18:26
joeoshawaHans_Henrik,  the base model has only 256 meg ram you may have a problem with a combination of not enough ram and a corrupted hdd18:26
google_rulesi know all site: commands but i dont know that18:26
joeoshawaHans_Henrik,  ubuntu would run ok but running it live would be very very slow18:27

KM0201256mb of ram?.. with a live cd?...lol18:27
Hans_Henrikjoeoshawa: hmm well it says 496.1 MiB ram18:27

izinucsI've got a usb headset/mic .. how do I get it recognized and configured?  Looking at "Properties" when right mouse clicking the speaker icon does not show it at all.18:27
KM0201Hans_Henrik: i believe minimum for a live cd is 1gig18:27
joeoshawaHans_Henrik, i would check the hdd for errors and put more ram in it18:28
joeoshawayou want at least a gig18:28
Hans_Henrikwell, gnome-system-monitor says 209 MB of memory is in use and 0 bytes of swap is activated. the system is responsive.. just extremely slow boot and cant find the harddrive18:28
Hans_HenrikMiB*18:28
Dr_Willis_You can use swap partitions with a live cd. :) that can help18:28
joeoshawaHans_Henrik, yes but you have ubuntu installed in the ram on a live cd18:29
YeTr2Hi, I have a laptop infront of me, sony viao VPCEB32FM. while installing, the mouse would not work. now that it's installed, the machine locks up after 2 minutes, never getting to desktop. it fails right after udev finishes doing stuff and the system continues booting18:29
intokHow do I see if my USB IDE controller is actually being seen?18:29
izinucsintok: sudo lshw in a terminal will give you LOTS of info18:30
Hans_Henrikjoeoshawa: correct i guess, how much it loads from the CD, and how much it has copied to ram, i do not know, but it says it uses 209 MiB (42.1%) of 496.1 MiB, and 0 bytes swap... and it is responsive :p18:30
Kyle__izinucs: intok: don't forget about dmidecode18:30
izinucsintok: or if you want to open the output in a file.. sudo lshw > ~/Desktop/lshw.txt18:30
Kyle__izinucs: intok: that dumps everything as the bios sees it (iirc).18:30
joeoshawaHans_Henrik, try gparted and see if it sees your hdd don't do anything tho18:30
izinucsKyle__: never heard of that one.. thanks.18:31
joeoshawaHans_Henrik, yeah it will run ok live but booting would take for ever18:31
Kyle__izinucs: It's a little easier to parse with your eyes than lshw or lspci.18:31
Hans_Henrikjoeoshawa: started gparted, waiting for "Scanning all devices"18:31
joeoshawalet me know if it sees it ubuntu i don't think mounts any drives on a live cd18:32
BrazendudeHello everyone, when dragging a tab between windows it doesn't pick the window you are hovering above. So, if you have a window partially covering another with multiple tabs you wont be able to place the tab in the middle area.18:33
Hans_Henrikjoeoshawa: i think it mounts any linux-swap space it can find at least...18:33
BrazendudeAny way to fix these issues? Help would be much appreciated.18:33
phsiHow can I make a custom script (in upstart) run something when the very first HDD finished mounting? mountall is too late since it waits for everything to finish mounting.18:33
BrazendudeDragging a tab in google chrome that is18:33
joeoshawaprobably but do you have a swap partition18:33
MIH1406Hi,18:34
joeoshawawindows doesn't use swap18:34
sidewalkanyone know how to set different wallpapers on different workspaces in gnome?18:34
MIH1406Can I make XChat to auto identify my nickname?18:34
sidewalk(without disabling desktop)18:34
area51pilotis there a way to add "Move To ... " for example: some sort of external media via aright click shortcut menu?18:34
noonianeven if you dont have a swap I think the os can still use a swap file18:34
KM0201sidewalk: by default, can't be done... i believe there's an add-on application that can do it..18:34
Hans_Henrikjoeoshawa: not afaik. and the laptop's owner wouldn't know :p //he only used XP18:35
Piciphsi: What are you trying to run if I may ask?18:35
phsiPici: preload18:35
sidewalkKM0201: you know what its called?18:35
joeoshawaMIH1406, yes18:35
Hans_Henrikjoeoshawa: the owner says "no"18:35
KM0201sideone: unfortunately i don't... i know if you ahve compiz enabled, there's a setting in there to do it also.18:36
joeoshawaHans_Henrik,18:36
Hans_Henrikjoeoshawa: ? :p18:36
joeoshawaHans_Henrik, then i don't think it would mount it on the plus side you can still get any data off the drive18:37
joeoshawahow good it will be is debatable18:37
sidewalkKM0201: yeah you know how? :-)18:37
phsiPici: I mount /home/ via LUKS and during the Passphrase there is nothing going on so preload would be nice since my kernel (mainline) doesn't seem to be aware of ureadahead :<18:37
Piciphsi: Hrm..  Unforunately thats a bit beyond me, sorry :/18:38

joeoshawalike linux as long as it remains open source it will continue to evolve18:48
joeoshawai am sure especially with things like direct x18:49

BrazendudeI have a question about dragging Google Chrome tabs. When you drag a Chrome tab from one Chrome window to another's tab bar, and the Chrome window you are trying to drag it to is under the the one you took the tab from, does it raise the window or does it stay under? I like to know since it's a behaviour in windows, and it's frustrating me not knowing if it's normal or not.20:39

ikoniaHabitats: I read your questions, this channel is not a directory services for other channels, so as I said "don't ask"20:42
skiwithpetePici the 4th link ends in crontabs20:42

SirBinksok.. I'm still a bit new to ubuntu troubleshooting, since every other install I've done has gone so smoothly that I didn't have to do anything, so forgive me if I'm missing something really obvious here.21:31
SirBinks But here's my issue: I've installed 10.04 via wubi, when I try to boot into ubuntu I get no display or sound, the monitor just shuts off. however the HDD is still very active, like in the first minutes of a normal boot. Any ideas?21:31

goltoofSirBinks:  does it at least show a splash screen? or the blinking cursor before it gets to splash screen?21:33
BalmungNixGeek what I am curious about is i used the cd /boot/grub/  then  sudo gedit grub.cfg is that even partially correct if  I am wanting to change my default loader and or the time?21:33

jon8llutz, thank you.21:34
murchadhBootFailure: See if there is a script called /usr/bin/startx21:34

BootFailuremurchadh: OK, I will do that. Thank you.21:35
apocalyptiqbesagon: yes, its turned up after i call "ifconfig wlan0 up"21:35
NixGeekBalmung: not at all correct.  don't edit the grub.cfg, edit /etc/default/grub and then run sudo update grub. the time for the entire system should be in the bios setting, and to change your default bootloader, you'd want to overwrite grub21:35
apocalyptiqbut even then on ubuntu wifi doesn't works, only wifi led is on21:35
kelseyHello, is this a place for getting help with ubuntu-related problems? ^^;21:36
ikoniakelsey: sure is21:36
besogonapocalyptiq: Can you see it in a list of "ifconfig"?21:36
BalmungNixGeek ok so basically just  cd /etc/default/grub then what should i "gedit" ?  and the update command is "sudo update grub" ? correct, I use this once I have completed editing the file?21:36
murchadhBootFailure: At your prompt type /usr/bin/startx and it could give you an error on output which may help identify the problem.21:37
goltoofSirBinks:  yea pretty hard to troubleshoot when you can't get into the gui, a start is to boot up in recovery mode, not so sure where to go from there as of now21:37

kelseyI have Ubuntu 9.04, is it possible for me to get GLIBCXX 3.4.11?21:38
NixGeekBalmung: cd to /etc/default/ using "cd /etc/default/" and the run "sudo gedit grub"   the update command after you finish editing (and save the file) is "sudo update-grub" (with the dash)21:39
besogonapocalyptiq: make now "rfkill unblock wlan" and see output of ifconfig21:39

KrashKingok, question22:45
KrashKingif I have a CDRW of Lubuntu burned, how would I install over 6.06 Ubuntu?22:45
izinucsKrashKing: do you have a separate /home partition?22:45
KrashKingno22:46
izinucsKrashKing: do you want to keep your data? and if so do you have another drive (internal or external?)22:46
KrashKingnothing to save22:46
guntbert!who | KrashKing22:47
ubottuKrashKing: 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 :)22:47
victorhugo289Maybe Krashing wants to keep all his programs.22:47
izinucsKrashKing: ok.. then it's easy.. put the disk in and install.. you'll loose everything though.22:47
KrashKingbah ubottu ;)22:47
subcoolThanks jordan22:48
izinucsKrashKing: that's why it's recommended to at minimum have a separate partiton for /home.. on reinstall you can do that by using the manual partitioning portion of the install routine.22:48
victorhugo289I figured this out, Ubuntu keeps programs in root, it only keeps settings and look in /HOMe22:48
KrashKingizinucs: not an issue right now22:48
KrashKingizinucs: fresh install22:48
victorhugo289That sucks, a little bit, idk.22:48
izinucsKrashKing: perfect time to do it.22:48
KrashKingizinucs: should it install from the desktop?22:49

Now sudo mount /dev/sr0 doesn't say it can't find it in the stab files but now that there is no mount point for the DVD22:50
izinucsKrashKing: how do you mean.. an .iso saved on your harddrive?22:50
KrashKingizinucs: no burned it to a cdrw22:50
chazbrownjust boot from it then?22:51

chazbrownYeah i did it just the other day.22:54
chazbrownIt works fine.22:54
DpinkyandDbrain_can anyone answer questions about installing with nvidia graphic cards22:54
chazbrownI did it with fedora 14.22:54
KM0201hmm22:54
chazbrown??22:54
chazbrownWhy wouldnt that work?22:54
mellinDpinkyandDbrain_: What question?22:54
DpinkyandDbrain_well i install ubuntu fine after using the live cd after fiddling with it do nomodeset is x'ed22:55
chazbrown@DpinkandDbrain_ i recommend downloading the binary and compiling it yourself with X closed... The actual install Ubuntu gave me broke my X22:55
KM0201DpinkyandDbrain_: which nvidia device?.. and did you install the driver for it in system/admin/additional drivers?22:55
solexiousEach time my system starts I seem to have no window manager till I set my appreance settings back from none to extra, them my title bars and max min close buttons reappear22:55
KM0201chazbrown: i've used the ubuntu driver for going on... 5-6yrs? no problems22:56
mellinDpinkyandDbrain_: I did not have that issue whatsoever22:56
DpinkyandDbrain_ai have a geforce 24022:56
dl2agonsorry was eating  click on the drive and under volumes upi should see mount click it22:56
chazbrown@KM0201 well i had problems, os i recommend compiling it since it did not detect my PCI device. Do you mean nouveau or the ones from apt-get?22:56
mellinDpinkyandDbrain_: Ok then you should get an icon telling you there is a an updated proprietary driver. Just install it.22:57
KM0201chazbrown: i mean i just enabled the driver in system/admin/additional drivers, like i've done since 6.06, no problems at all.22:57
DpinkyandDbrain_mellin it gives me the choice to install nvidia drivers in the live cd but i have to restart for it to take effect22:57
chazbrown@KM0201 oh yeah that works fine.22:57

mellinDpinkyandDbrain_: OK then when you get to the grub boot menu hit e on the keyboard. Then add nomodeset to the line about splash boot with a space. This will get you into Ubuntu22:58

KrashKingshould I do the upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04.1 throught he update manager?23:12
