[00:00] DasEi so now what? [00:00] i don't feel like waiting for this bad blocks test to finish, .01% per minute, i'm going to reformat, what's the best utility to reformat the volume to ext3 ? [00:00] chaos2358: what make / model is the printer [00:00] chaos2358: try again, step by step, idk what's missing, that printer works fine : http://harbhag.wordpress.com/2010/04/09/canon-pixma-mp258-or-any-mp250-series-printer-on-ubuntu-debian-fedora-and-arch-linux/ [00:00] needlez: f5 might be easier [00:01] ActionParsnip, Its a Canon Pixma Mp250 all in one scanner, copier, printer [00:01] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1516606 [00:01] Wow, this system is determined not to let me install ubuntu. When the picture of they keyboard+man is on the screen my keyboard is not active. It doesn't become active until after it disappears [00:01] goltoof: Theres a reason for it... so f5 isn't a choice. I made a script to change my mac address and get the ip address but would like the page to refresh automatically after that [00:02] how do i stop aptitude from running [00:02] script so far is this http://pastie.org/1516609 [00:04] chaos2358: mkdir ~/canon;cd ~/canon;wget http://files.canon-europe.com/files/soft37267/software/mp250_debian_driver_pack.tar; tar xvf ./mp250_debian_driver_pack.tar; tar zxvf ./cnijfilter-mp250series-3.20-1-i386-deb.tar.gz; cd cnijfilter-mp250series-3.20-1-i386-deb/packages; sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb [00:04] needlez: not sure, but if it's practical you could script the page to do it for you, ie, meta refresh [00:04] avashi1: not to recommended, ctrl-c in terminal [00:04] be* [00:04] ActionParsnip, HUH? [00:05] chaos2358: run that command and it will install the printer driver [00:05] chaos2358: then run: [00:05] thanks DasEi [00:06] Can I modify the 10.10 iso image so that it will automatically use nomodeset when it boots? [00:06] I just downloaded a Packet tracer (cisco application) for ubuntu.. its a .bin file but How do i install it [00:06] ActionParsnip, ok i was confused because it was such a long command. but it is installing now [00:06] coreire i did by putting it on a usb flash driv4e and editing the syslinux configs === Koopa516 is now known as Pythonic|Away [00:06] ActionParsnip, ok that is done now run what? [00:07] chaos2358: rm -r ~/canon; mkdir ~/canon; cd ~/canon; wget http://files.canon-europe.com/files/soft40252/software/mp250%20scanner%20driver%201.60.tar; tar xvf ./mp250\ scanner\ driver\ 1.60.tar; tar zxvf ./scangearmp-mp250series-1.60-1-deb.tar.gz; cd scangearmp-mp250series-1.60-1-deb/packages/; sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb [00:07] Dr_Willis: Where are they located? And what must I add? [00:07] chaos2358: sure is but if you read it, it makes sense [00:07] hello folks...if I want a process (e.g vlc player) to use less cpu how do I go about it [00:08] coreire: under syslinux config dirs. in one of the config files. You just have to look for it [00:08] Hello. I was playing some full-screen 3D games and after quitting from them, keyboard presses no longer repeat (e.g. if I hold onto A, it only prints one A and does not print any more), which is different from the previous behavior. How can I restore previous behavior? (Playing with repeat options under System -> Preferences -> Keyboard does not fix the issue). [00:08] ActionParsnip, ok gotcha and it is done. [00:08] what will rmdir -f do? [00:08] ActionParsnip, now what? [00:08] (:29183): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead [00:08] any idea what that means? [00:09] Assi: then your wireless chip isn't supported by the driver [00:09] !format [00:09] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [00:09] how do i auto detect a wireless network...? [00:09] chaos2358: try the scanner and try printing [00:09] NVM, Asked too soon. Answer: xset r rate 300 [00:09] ezy: you can't force a app to use less cpu, besides tinkering with its prefs, but ultimately what the devs put in uses the cpu it needs; so idealy a well written application is already using its minimum required cpu [00:09] usage [00:10] chaos2358: or delete the printer then reattatch it, it should pick it up [00:10] ActionParsnip, ok gimmie one sec and i will test [00:10] if i want to wipe clean and format my usb drive to ext3 do i just: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 ? [00:10] nvm [00:10] Assi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010751 [00:10] hey ActionParsnip, the config file dosn't work so I'v switched to my old one. [00:11] ActionParsnip, YOU ARE A GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:11] aeon-ltd, would changing the priority of the process help in achieving my goals ? [00:11] goltoof: yes, make sure it's ext3 though, and make sure the partition isn't mounted or in use [00:11] chaos2358: Canon support is not bad but can REALLY led itself to long command installs like that :) [00:11] ActionParsnip: it isn't ext3 currently it's ntfs.. i want to make it ext3 ... nothing else i should do first. the drive is unmounted and g2g [00:11] ezy: not really unless it was maxing out your cpu or something else is [00:12] ActionParsnip: *nothing else i should do first? [00:12] guys, I am trying to install an application and receiving this error "Attempting to install package now [00:12] dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [00:12] " [00:12] goltoof: then its fine, off you go. Make sure you copy the data off first if you need it [00:12] chaos2358: glad you got the gold [00:12] aeon-ltd: isn't there a command to bring a process to the foreground or background? ie, fg / bg ? i remember reading something like that [00:13] ActionParsnip, I went to canon.com and went through the driver and support crap until i got to where i had to select os to download drivers for and there was no linux. how did you find [00:13] aeon-ltd, its actually maxing it out...the problem has to do with the heating of my laptop to tempratures of 90+ whenever I stream clips on youtube or view movies through vlc player [00:13] avashi1: synaptics open in parallel ? [00:13] ActionParsnip: thanks! [00:13] avashi1: make sure software centre is closed and updates are not running [00:13] Assi: np bro [00:13] avaashil: yeah, software center + synaptics, etc. can't be loading at the same time [00:13] chaos2358: http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010752.asp [00:13] ezy: then thats the real problem, ask that question to this channel with more details [00:14] aeon-ltd, everytime the laptop hits 2100 Mhz of cpu usage the temprature heats up and I have narrowed it down to those activities that lead to a higher cpu frequency [00:14] avashi1: if they are not open: [00:14] !aptfix | avashi1 [00:14] avashi1: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [00:14] :) [00:15] hello, I have a WD My Passport which is no longer recognised on any machine (Windows/Linux). It is powered on, but not mounted and not recognised by the system. Any suggestions? [00:15] ezy: try: sudo mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg [00:15] Silentz0r: I'd ask in ##hardware too [00:16] Hello [00:16] ActionParsnip, what does that command do ? [00:16] hello [00:16] Hey guys - I'm new to using Ubuntu and I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered the inability to connect to the Steam Network using Wine [00:16] ezy: its a liitle known file which can reduce cpu usage in flash [00:16] now is 08:16 [00:16] It installs fine, updates etc but it won't connect to the network [00:16] Can anyone recommend a ligthweight desktop system? Small download, and low on ram preferably [00:16] Faffel: I have no issues [00:17] Hrm [00:17] Using Maverick? [00:17] I first did it using PlayOnLinux, but apparently that's bugged on 64-bit MAverick and loads a 32-bit wine [00:17] Faffel: yes [00:17] ActionParsnip, ok you have helped me alot but now i must ask one more thing [00:17] Which causes some bugs, but I'm just using straight Wine now [00:17] And it still won't connect [00:17] ezy: also if you add: http://pastie.org/1516639 to /etc/X11/xorg.conf it can help too [00:17] ActionParsnip, could there be similar commands for vlc player and virtual box ? [00:17] Faffel: I am using 32-bit 10.10 and Steam works perfectly [00:17] Oh [00:18] chaos2358: ask the channel and we'll try and help [00:18] I'm using 64-bit [00:18] Maybe it's 64-bit :( [00:18] Hi people, I'm having trouble setting up my WUSB54Gv4 linksys thing, I'm supposed to... "[o] if it doesnt work, edit "/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper" change "wlan0" to "rausb1" " but when I do that I can't find wlan0, when I search for it with iwconfig, ifconfig, dhclient, and iwlist, they can't find it either [00:18] ezy: virtualbox is VERY CPU intensive [00:18] what's time? [00:18] Faffel: yes could be some 64-bit incompatibility issues [00:18] ActionParsnip, do i have to download something in particular in order to scan documents to the computer? i insert and press the scan button on my printer and it doesnt scan to the computer [00:18] guys i am still getting same error dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [00:18] Can anyone recommend a ligthweight desktop system? Small download, and low on ram preferably [00:18] Is there any way to get feedback on what's going on when it's trying to connect, Gunndawg? [00:18] I don't know how Linux works, haven't used it since I was like 14 :D [00:18] chaos2358: you have simplescan as part of a default install [00:18] how do i change the default subdomain name for my local network smtp? [00:19] ActionParsnip, any way of tinkering with that ? :-) [00:19] hello,who can tell me the time? [00:19] !time [00:19] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [00:19] :) [00:19] Faffel: I dont believe so, that would be steams framework, and I dont think there is any way to get access to that, i could be wrong though, but it sounds unlikely [00:19] lolcat_: try xfce or lxde (xubuntu or lubuntu) [00:19] what' time? [00:19] Hm okay [00:19] ezy: you can set a higher nice value which will make the virtualbox process get less CPU time but the guest will run slower [00:19] That's too bad, Steam is my primary chat program ;( [00:19] rbnswartz: apt-get install lubuntu-desktop? [00:20] avashil: sudo killall synaptic<---------terminal [00:20] avashil: just to try from base i guess [00:20] ActionParsnip, ok it wasnt installed. [00:20] Is there a channel on freenode for Wine in specific? [00:20] so pity! [00:20] chaos2358: get it in then. I beleve gimp can scan too [00:20] ActionParsnip, aha...that was the term I was looking for...tinkering the nice number...thanks, appreciate your help on this [00:20] butterfly: it would depend on your time zone.. I got 7:20 pm here. :) [00:20] Faffel: #winehq [00:20] Hi people, I'm having trouble setting up my WUSB54Gv4 linksys thing, I'm supposed to...

[00:21] manas: I've seen this a billion times. gimme a sec [00:21] manas: check the forums for your exact make laptop. it maybe a known bug. with some work arounbds. [00:22] lolcat_ yes or if you wish to use a gui search for lubunt-desktop in synaptic. Lubuntu is the lighter then xubuntu [00:22] manas: also be sure the thing isent just turned off. via you rlaptop special fn keys. [00:22] Uhh, can anyone help me?

[00:23] manas: reboot to test [00:24] anyone able to help with my script? I want to add a line for firefox to autorefresh after dhclient is ran. Any ideas?? this is what I have so far...http://pastie.org/1516609 [00:24] Dr_Willis I looked at all the guides I could find, the only ones that had answers were from 2007 :\ [00:24] noname1000: i was thinking the use of ndiswrappers has basoically been eliminted these days. [00:24] noname1000: you did check the ubuntu forums?> [00:25] Nope... I just used google [00:25] noname1000: i suggest hitting the foriums and the bug report site. [00:25] Thank you [00:25] im sorry but i didnt follow [00:25] im new to linux and have no clue about it [00:26] so can you please tell me what to do one by one [00:26] thanks [00:26] noname1000: what is your issue?? [00:26] I got three errors when I tried to install xubuntu-desktop, three packages it couldn't download from the norwegian respiories. --fix-missing worked, just thougth somoene here migth have something to do with that... [00:26] lolcat_: is there bug logged? [00:26] needlez: Hi people, I'm having trouble setting up my WUSB54Gv4 linksys thing, I'm supposed to... "[o] if it doesnt work, edit "/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper" change "wlan0" to "rausb1" " but when I do that I can't find wlan0, when I search for it with iwconfig, ifconfig, dhclient, and iwlist, they can't find it either [00:26] lolcat_: could be the servers are getting updaed/maintained, or some other issue also. [00:27] lolcat_: you did do a update/upgrade - befor trying to install the stuff? [00:27] Dr_Willis: I tried several times, it made my netinst disk fail installing a desktop. [00:27] noname1000: well did you change it to rausb1? [00:27] Dr_Willis: No, clean netinst installation, just the basic system. [00:27] histo: thats the problem, I can't figure out how, it tells me exactly how but I can't find wlan0 [00:27] lolcat_: never done that. so cant really advise any more. sounds like servers may be missing some files. [00:27] How can I give permission to a removable disk?(psp) [00:28] ok, i just finished formatting my 1tb drive to ext3, but says i only have 870gb free? capacity shows as only 916? [00:28] noname1000: a 3 yr old guide. may be refering an older verion of ubuntu . and thus be wrong in that example. [00:28] PsPhaKeR_, use chmod [00:28] For a usb device? [00:28] goltoof: 5% reserved. for system ussage. tuneable via the tune2fs command. [00:28] noname1000: what chipset does the wusb54G have on it? [00:29] libreoffice > openoffice [00:29] nofrillz: How can I do that for a usb device? [00:29] Dr_Willis: I got 404 errors on those files. I managed to install without them, and I belive the packages is unneccecary [00:29] Dr_Willis: Yeah, I'm sure its too old, but the wireless connection interface thing can't find anything now because I messed around with it using the old guides [00:29] wait [00:29] histo: I'm not too sure what you mean, v4? [00:29] why does the psp need permission? [00:29] To use psplink [00:30] noname1000: I'll look it up give me a sec [00:30] debugging application [00:30] noname1000: what version of ubuntu are you using [00:30] histo: 10 04 [00:31] nofrillz: I need it to use PSPLink (debugging application), I need full permission over it. [00:31] PsPhaKeR_: you mount the filesystem with the proper options. the Ntfs-config utility may help you do this [00:31] sad [00:31] noname1000: that card should work out of hte box since 8.10 [00:31] PsPhaKeR_: or mount it by hand as root, with the proper options to some location. === ariel is now known as Guest25343 [00:32] Dr_Willis: Sorry, I am new to Ubuntu, so all of this "permissions" stuff is very confusing to me... could you help me out a little more? [00:32] NO [00:32] !permissions > PsPhaKeR_ [00:32] PsPhaKeR_, please see my private message [00:32] lol [00:32] histo: uhh... Well it wasn't able to connect to the internet when I plugged it in the first time, even if it could find the connections... [00:33] noname1000: that card works OOB, you might wanna go enable it [00:34] . === OOzemeister is now known as GoogleApparently [00:34] administration>additional drivers> enable the one for your card. then reboot [00:34] my samba just stopped working today and I don't know why. In my log.smbd file it says that smbd cannot start because the port is already in use; however, I think that it just because smbd is already running in the background. I restarted my server and it still doesn't work. I can show my smb.conf if anyone wants to see it, but I assure you that is not the problem [00:35] Acid190 Reboot fixed the problem.. I was able to install the app i needed [00:35] needlez: thank you, I'll try it out [00:35] kk [00:35] Thanks for your help though [00:35] noname1000: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [00:35] Meh, isntalling xubuntu-desktop takes forever [00:35] I have changed the gltext.desktop file and ny changes are not showing when I use the test of the screen saver. Is there someting that I needs to do to cause it to re-read the file. [00:35] avashi1: yeah, while you were gonna i did some reading and that's what fixes the problem. [00:35] Jordan_U: 10 04 [00:35] lolcat_: could've just install xfce4 [00:35] i c [00:36] needlez: can you type in the exact command? [00:36] lolcat_: wan't it part of your XUbuntu CD?? [00:36] noname1000: its not a command [00:36] I am very new to linux and excited about learning it.. appericate the support here [00:36] hi. is /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf the same on all installations or is it auto-generated at install time? [00:36] noname1000: Do you have a 10.04 LiveCD? If so it might be easiest to try to get things working there first, where there's nothing left over from old attempts to confuse things. [00:36] Vonor: it's generic [00:36] ActionParsnip: My cd-room is busted, installing form a netinst thing on the usb [00:37] Jordan_U: I don't even know what that is, so I guess not [00:37] noname1000: go to administration then to additional drivers and in there you should have a choice to enable drivers [00:37] lolcat_: I see, its nice anyway as you don't have to upgrade after install :) [00:37] needlez: when I click additional drivers I get an error, don't remember what it says though, something about being unable to connect to the internet [00:37] Acid190: I just installed 10.04, do you recommend the upgrade to 10.10 ? if so , can i just run "upgrade manager" from System>Administration or its a whole another process ? [00:38] avashi1: Lucid (10.04) is supported longer [00:38] ActionParsnip, thanks [00:38] ActionParsnip: Yes, it is. Except I want to see Due Date with my girlfriend and this is taking forever. All I needed was some kind of simple ex that I could run VLC in... [00:38] !upgrade | avashi1 if you really want to [00:38] avashi1 if you really want to: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [00:38] my samba just stopped working today and I don't know why.

I restarted my server and it still doesn't work. I can show my smb.conf if anyone wants to see it, but I assure you that is not the problem [00:38] noname1000: please connect to internet thru " hardwire" LAN cable [00:38] noname1000: The CD that you use to install Ubuntu 10.04. Since you can use the system from the CD (use firefox, try some screensavers, etc) it's called a "Live" CD as well as being an install CD. [00:38] Thanks ActionParsnip. I will stick to 10.04 since everything is working fine for now :) [00:38] ActionParsnip, are you on 10.10? if yes, could you please pastebin your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf for me? [00:39] lolcat_: could have used something simpler, if your ONLY requirement is VLC you can esily use something like puppy or xpud [00:39] Permission error while opening the USB device. [00:39] Hi! I had a friend to install roundcube on my remote ubuntu server, I access the server via ssh normally but roundcube via normal webbrowser.

[00:39] Anyone know how to remove items from the MeMenu in 10.10? "Broadcast" is listed twice. [00:39] ActionParsnip: I know, couldn't remember any names though. [00:39] Vonor: http://pastebin.com/nH8b5AA2 my vanilla Maverick file [00:39] Or does it run mostly as well as it would if I was in Windows assuming Wine handles the game optimally? [00:39] needlez: I'll try if I can find a cable long enough [00:39] noname1000: could move the system [00:40] My only problem with Ubuntu is getting HDMI audio to work on my dell inspiron 1525 [00:40] ActionParsnip, thanks. though am not that familar with the nicknames of the versions, is maverick 10.10? [00:40] ActionParsnip: No idea what that means... ._. [00:40] noname1000: I would say get up and move the system if you can [00:40] hello everyone [00:40] I can't figure it out.. tried on forums everywhere. no luck [00:40] noname1000: instead of laying a long cable, move the system [00:40] I tried the chmod, didnt work... I get this error [00:40] Permission error while opening the USB device. [00:40] Fix device permissions or run as root.

[00:41] rbnswartz: Well, I assume I am haf way in the install now [00:41] rbnswartz: depends on taste for "good looks" [00:41] Thank you for your help people [00:41] trye true [00:41] rbn lol [00:41] rbnswartz: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Lucid_Puppy_5.0.0.png looks pretty sweet to me :) [00:42] noname1000: np [00:42] I installed ubuntu 10.04 server and I can't get utf8 to display.

[00:42] yea i love when it isnt dark green when you install the wrong video drivers lol [00:42] PsPhaKeR1: probably owned by root.. sudo chown -r : /path/to/usb [00:42] ActionParsnip Very true. But compared to the heavy heights such as GNOME or KDE it looks a little scarce [00:43] rbn did you see what i said [00:43] rbnswartz: I find them both cluttered, again, it's all taste [00:43] !ot [00:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[00:43] yes [00:43] does anyone know if ubuntu has applied patches to alsa in the default distro kernel? (especially the hda-intel driver) I ask, because a fix for an alsa problem on my motherboard apparently works for an ubuntu user but doesn't work for me (I'm on gentoo and the fix is adding a probe_mask option to alsa-base) [00:44] Jayro: That might be more appropriate for #gnome. [00:44] izinucs: Thanks! [00:44] I have an extra "Broadcast" entry in my MeMenu; anyone know how to remove it? [00:44] okay, thanks [00:44] But I have a question similar to yours, Jayro, about GNOME panels, and no one there's helping. [00:44] BlueBomber7: What's your question. I just hopped on. [00:45] Vonor: you can add the probe options in /etc/modprobe/alsa-base.conf and it will set the option [00:45] I have two panels on top, and on reboot they appear in backwards order. The one that should be on top is on bottom. [00:45] bluebomber7: yeah , everytime i reboot they like switch positions on the panel., [00:45] I have to manually adjust them every time. [00:45] !panelfix | BlueBomber7 [00:45] !fixpanel [00:45] !panel [00:45] ActionParsnip: You'll get it, keep trying. [00:45] :P [00:45] ActionParsnip: oh alrgith i'll try that but I can't reboot my server now :( [00:45] !panels [00:45] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:46] Hmm... I've never tried configuring my panels that way... [00:46] gah!!!!! [00:46] Awesome, thanks, exactly what I needed. [00:46] what will resetting it to defaults do? [00:46] Jayro: reset to default <_< [00:46] BlueBomber7: was trying to get that :( [00:46] does anybody know the window switch shortcut for irssi? does it work in the terminal in gnome [00:46] ? [00:46] Jayro: will let you build back up from vanilla [00:46] will my dropbox still be there? [00:46] discord_: ALT+number [00:46] hi [00:46] discord_: yes, it will be in the notification area [00:47] discord_: yeah alt+number or alt+arrow left or right [00:47] anyone able to help with this script?? I want to make firefox autorefresh the page after the dhclient command. This is what I have so far http://pastie.org/1516609 [00:47] discord_: http://irssi.org/documentation [00:47] ActionParsnip, i know. that wasn't my question, though. that option apparently fixes the issue for an ubuntu user (who has reported that fix on the xbmc forum entry regarding this motherboard) but it doesn't fix it for me (and I'm not using ubuntu) hence I wonder if there might be ubuntu specific patches to the kernel regarding asla/hda-intel which aren't in vanilla [00:47] when i ssh to my vserver over putty it looks like this: http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=ubuntucmpz.jpg [00:47] what am i doing wrong? [00:47] actionparsnip: will my dropbox still be in the panel? [00:47] discord_: the only problem is if you have multiple tabs open in gnome-terminal alt+number will switch tabs in gnome-terminal [00:47] Vonor: then you are asking in the wrong channel if you are not using ubuntu === daniel0007 is now known as CensoredBiscuit [00:47] Jayro: yes, it will be in the notification area [00:47] ok, [00:48] discord_: so you can /window number to switch [00:48] !panels [00:48] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » === GoogleApparently is now known as jmad980 [00:48] Jayro: the dropbox in the panel is not really needed, you only need the service running. some icon doesn't change weather it shows or not [00:48] ActionParsnip, "is ubuntu using patches on asla/hda-intel that are not in vanilla" is a question that i should not ask in #ubuntu because i don't use ubuntu? *winks* [00:49] Speaking of panels, ActionParsnip and Jayro, I can't seem to have multiple panels on the same side that autohide. Should we be able to accomplish this? [00:49] I was wondering what I can do to make firefox start on my ubuntu machine. It won't open from the panel, dock, or applications tab. [00:49] BlueBomber7: not sure, i dont use panels much [00:50] Xavier1001: use ALT+F2 and run: firefox [00:50] actionparsnip: when i ran that command it made empathy show in the notifications area instead of under the ting that opens when i click the mail sign, how cna i fix this? [00:50] Vonor: which patches do you mean? [00:50] anyone?? [00:50] Jayro: not sure, I dont use empathy [00:50] ActionParsnip:didn't work [00:51] needlez: you could make it open a new tab, or close the current one and launch a new window [00:51] can I print a man page? [00:51] when i ssh to my vserver over putty it looks like this: http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=ubuntucmpz.jpg - what am i doing wrong? [00:51] yeah, imma switch to pidgin [00:51] Xavier1001: or you open keyboard shortcuts, you can set a keyboard shortcut to open web browser [00:52] ActionParsnip: I want it to autorefresh inside the script with out closing the browser. Since I can hit F5 can't I create a command or something to do that in the script?? [00:52] needlez: the guys in #bash may know a trick or two [00:52] ActionParsnip, those are quite the ear plugs glad you like them :) [00:52] ActionParsnip: It won't start, is it an issue with firefox? [00:52] I sync my android phone with google calender today, if I would like to change google calaender to something based from my ubuntu server, what could that be? [00:52] ZykoticK9: huh? [00:52] ActionParsnip, don't worry, you seem busy enough, i'll wait for someone else to answer :P [00:52] randomOfAmber: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560799/ change line 15 for your pdf viewer of choice to print [00:53] ActionParsnip, "New plugs in, YEEEEE BOIII!!" [00:53] Xavier1001: if you run it from terminal is there an output? [00:53] ZykoticK9: haha cheers dude, I love them :) [00:53] ActionParsnip: Nope [00:53] Xavier1001: does the browser run? [00:54] ActionParsnip: Noooope lol [00:54] Hey guys. I am trying to do a demo install of ubuntu on to my PC via USB stick. It seems to be looping. [00:54] ZykoticK9: 14mm and 12mm,very cool [00:54] ActionParsnip: asking them also, so far no luck [00:54] LeDutch: What do you mean? [00:54] I need reduce windows executable size with linker in visual C. could somebody help me? [00:54] LeDutch: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [00:54] ActionParsnip, looks painful :) [00:54] I am on the screen with ubuntu, and red dots that turn white. When I hit F1 that screen seems to keep giving me I/O errors. [00:55] ZykoticK9: nar, i'v been pusing up with teflon tape [00:55] ActionParsnip Yes. [00:55] LeDutch: ok and have you tested your RAM [00:55] Not recently, but it runs win7 without issue. So I assume the RAM is fine. [00:55] ActionParsnip: You seem to know everything! lol [00:56] ActionParsnip is awesome. [00:56] LeDutch: may be worth it overnight if you get no where, just to take it out of the equation [00:56] BlueBomber7: I try :) [00:56] PC setup, if relevant is 2x HD5770, i7 950, 12gig patriot ram. [00:56] BlueBomber7: Amen [00:56] Itel SSD. [00:56] Xavier1001: just got badass googlefu and bing-chi [00:56] ActionParsnip So back to windows to test it? Is it safe to turn off PC while it is in this loop? Or can I turn it off via command someplace? [00:57] Xavier1001: are there any firefox processes running? [00:57] LeDutch: theres a memtest on the USB stick [00:57] Maan, it is taking like forever to install xubuntu-desktop! [00:57] when i ssh to my vserver over putty it looks like this: http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=ubuntucmpz.jpg - what am i doing wrong? [00:57] ActionParsnip: Nope, its completely unresponsive, and my friend says googlefu all the time [00:57] Xavier1001: do other browsers run ok? [00:58] Xavier1001: does a reboot help? [00:58] ActionParsnip: Yes, this event has made a opera user and nope, ive had this issue for months [00:58] Has anyone else done the demo install via USB before? If so, how long did it take you to get in to ubuntu? === zero is now known as Guest6019 [00:59] LeDutch, you mean live usb? [00:59] Xavier1001: could try the mozilla ppa and get firefox 4, or whatever version minefield is these days 9I don't use firefox) [00:59] LeDutch: The most likely cause for IO errors is a bad burn of the CD / scratches / bad CD drive or worse (and also less likely) hardware problems with your hard drive. [00:59] bubbles|: It doesn't look like something necessarily wrong. It just looks like a text-mode dropdown menu is all. Maybe your default login script launches some app? [00:59] bazhang that is the one sorry. [00:59] LeDutch, a few minutes at the very worst [00:59] Jordan_U It is on a USB, not CD. HDD is fine with windows, if that matters. [00:59] ActionParsnip: I'll check it out [01:00] bazhang ok cheers. Been a good 30 minutes. [01:00] Doing memory test now. [01:00] LeDutch: Then there may be problems with the USB drive. Flash drives can be very unreliable. [01:00] BlueBomber7 there should be # instead of â - somebody mentioned that i'm connecting to a serial console instead of ssh, but how can i change that? [01:00] LeDutch: how do you mean 'loops' by the way === richard is now known as Guest39097 [01:01] bubbles|: Can you provide any more information? What are your putty settings? [01:01] ActionParsnip When I hit f1. It seemed to be going through the same steps. [01:01] LeDutch: so the usb doesn't boot? [01:01] BlueBomber7 just server-ip and port, nothing more [01:01] ActionParsnip, not sure. I got to the ubuntu loading screen. Not any further. === Guest39097 is now known as Flema [01:01] <_Tristan> Hey. I'm not too into openoffice, it's a little heavy for me. I'm having a hard time finding alternatives. Any ideas? [01:02] _Tristan: Abiword? [01:02] LeDutch: like a black screen??? [01:02] _Tristan: GNOME Office [01:02] _Tristan: what components of openoffice do you use? [01:02] Nope. Like the ubuntu logo with a loading bar under it (of sorts. Dots that change colour). [01:02] <_Tristan> ActionParsnip: Mainly just writer and spreadsheets [01:03] I'd get to the shitty BIOS styled screen, select demo or live or whatever the option is called. Then it would do some stuff, and sit on that screen for 30mins. [01:03] bubbles|: Hmmm... I've used putty before, but I don't have my settings here. Never seen anything like that, though. Maybe your default shell is some kinda text-mode shell instead of bash, I really don't know. [01:03] LeDutch: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html may help [01:03] _Tristan: use gnumeric and abiword then, significantly lighter [01:03] where would i see that BlueBomber7? [01:03] <_Tristan> ActionParsnip: thanks [01:04] LeDutch: what kind of computer?? [01:04] is there anyone understands spanish [01:04] Homemade. i7 950, 2x 5770, Intel SSD, 12gb patriot RAM. [01:04] needlez [01:04] bubbles|: man chsh [01:04] !es | link_ [01:04] link_: 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. [01:04] Si, un poquito. [01:04] I'm using a laptop often for development (lucid on vbox) and when I'm stationary, a server, also with lucid. I'd like to be able to use either...that is, keep them in synch with regards to my data. I'm thinking I can synch /home without issue... what about /etc ? and is there a good tool for this (pref with a gui setup tool) ? [01:05] LeDutch: is this the 10.04 LTS your trying to install?? or 10.10?? [01:05] thanks [01:05] 10.10. [01:05] j_ayen_green: could use rsync to updte the changed files (if I understand your question) [01:05] Just wanting to install the demo so I can show my GF it and then put it on our laptops and other PCs. [01:05] LeDutch: in the BIOS do you have the USB setup correctly?? what is it set on?? [01:05] USB-FDD [01:05] ltry usb-hdd [01:06] Okies. [01:06] if applicable [01:06] Yeah, there is HDD, FDD and CD. And something else. [01:06] ActionParsnip, ok. would those tend to be the two directories I need to focus on, in a normal config? [01:06] try hdd [01:06] BlueBomber7 changing the shell to bash didn't help either [01:06] Ok cool. [01:06] usb-cd is not your cd drive, by the way [01:07] LeDutch: also try toggling between Legacy on and off because sometimes that will change how the usb is recognized [01:07] j_ayen_green: whatever suits your needs [01:07] Sorry, I lied. It was on USB-HDD. [01:07] oh, what are we talking about? [01:07] bubbles|: You can try doing some research on whatever program you're running there. That's all I would do to further help you. Good luck. [01:08] I'll reinstall the USB stick then I guess. [01:08] reinstall the .iso on the stick that is. [01:08] LeDutch: see if Legacy 2.0 usb is enabled or if you can even change it [01:08] needlez how can I do that? [01:08] Does anyone know why my apache server would show on a random domain name (lifeahacker.com) and only from firefox (not chromium or links2) on only one computer (the computer the apache server is running from)? [01:08] LeDutch: dont forget to make the drive bootable [01:08] ActionParsnip, well, don't know what I don't know. I know my user stuff is in /home, and all the config stuff for the add-on software is in /etc.. and my web server in /var, but I could very well not be realizing something...something else I should synch, or something I should NOT because there are hardware-related config items [01:08] NixGeek: dns servers [01:09] in Bios it should be a setting under the USB not sure depends on each bios [01:09] niles: for just one broswser, on one computer? [01:09] what kind of BIOS do you have?? [01:09] yes [01:09] j_ayen_green: then those will need to be included and such [01:09] does anyone know why my glk dock is having lines and other graphical issues? [01:10] ActionParsnip, yeah...just wanted to make sure ...give someone the change to say "NO...don't synch var, or etc, because..." [01:10] Xavier1001_: graphics card update? [01:10] *the chance [01:10] j_ayen_green: if you need to get them updated then go for it [01:11] needlez: why would it do that and how can I fix it. it's not really a big thing, just a ittle annoyance. The domain name is just a wierd one that I got when I misspelled lifeahaker.com [01:11] Acid190: Yea but my compy is five years old and I'm getting a new laptop this summer, preferably a system 76 [01:11] NixGeek: Idk [01:11] ActionParsnip, wasn't updating that concerned me... was that if I have one environment on a laptop, and another on a server, didn't want to push a directory from one to the other if it would break something :) [01:12] Ok. Reformatting and installing the USB stick. [01:12] j_ayen_green: i'd say it'll be fine === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [01:13] ActionParsnip, thanks for your help [01:13] hi everyone. What's the cli command to start MoviePlayer? [01:13] Xavier1001__: try wrapping the microsoft driver? [01:14] Xavier1001__: it may be more reliable than the linux driver, not sure though [01:14] oh look at that, it's totem [01:14] Acid190: I have no idea what to do:/ [01:14] it appears to only open 1 instance at a time? Is there a way to change that? [01:14] ok so my system got screwed all to heck on the last system update [01:14] so I had to reinstall [01:15] anyway, then my system got screwed yet again when I tried to sudo apt-get install startupmanager [01:15] I'm stuck with an extra "Broadcast" entry in my MeMenu. Anyone have any idea how to get rid of it?! === matthew is now known as Guest4686 [01:15] also it screwed itself when I attempted to install the broadcom STA driver [01:15] I can't connect to the internet because my interface (should be ra0) isn't there... ifconfig only reveals lo... what can i do? [01:15] according to lsmod the appropriate modules are loaded [01:16] the first time it corrupted my HD... I bought a new HD... the STA driver hung my system (but apparently installed successfully) the startupmanager (which I tried next) hung my system into an unusable state [01:16] couldn't even get on the net [01:16] why can't I change my shell to zsh with "chsh" ? [01:16] luckily I have two system partitions [01:16] the changes never persist when I open a new terminal [01:16] apt-get doesnt seem to be able to download any repos, they all return 404 (gutsy) [01:16] nicofs: remove the module, then reload it. Does that help [01:16] so I just installed ubuntu flat over the other one... but on the second partition [01:16] lake: you can [01:16] lake: login again probably [01:16] so... now the issue is... grub is defaulting to the second ubuntu install [01:16] sockPants: gutsy is dead and gone [01:16] I want to default it to the first... as in I want my original grub configuration back [01:16] ActionParsnip: can i upgrade over the network? [01:17] !eol | sockPants [01:17] however, I already edited /etc/default/grub and then ran sudo update-grub but that didn't change the entries on the grub screen [01:17] sockPants: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [01:17] ActionParsnip, how do i do that? [01:17] and my non-configured Ubuntu "recovery" install is the default boot option [01:17] so how do I change that? aside from changing default= in /etc/default/grub [01:17] nicofs: sudo modprobe -r modulenamehere; sleep 5; sudo modprobe modulenamehere [01:17] jrib that worked [01:17] Is there an easy way to configure the entries in the MeMenu? [01:17] thanks for the input [01:17] I don't want to just change the default number, I want to change the actual entries in the grub screen [01:17] abstrakt: boot to the one you want to manage grub and rerun 'sudo update-grub' delete the old installs partitins first (or at least the kernel boot files) if you dont want it tobe used any more. [01:17] abstrakt: after chaning /etc/default/grub you have to sudo update-grub [01:18] abstrakt: not sure about the recovery option getting set as default. never seen that [01:18] ActionParsnip, FATA: module in use [01:18] histo, Dr_Willis but I did run sudo update-grub from my already configured system [01:18] abstrakt: could be a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' may make it behave. [01:18] abstrakt: you want to keep both disrtos? [01:19] Dr_Willis, I don't care... I only need to keep the one I already have configured [01:19] Dr_Willis, the other one doesn't matter at this point, I just have two system drives so that when the next release comes out I can do a test install on that drive and migrate slowly and still have my original system in case of catastrophic failure, etc [01:19] nicofs: hmm, then you need to find out how to make it not used [01:19] abstrakt: then delete the partions for the one you dont want. and rerun update-grub [01:19] Dr_Willis, delete them from where? [01:20] abstrakt: disk partion manager tool of your chouce [01:20] that doesn't sound like a Good Idea (TM) to me [01:20] or at least it sounds like a hack solution to this issue [01:20] the dpkg reconfigure sounds like a better idea [01:20] abstrakt: that wont delete the useless install... [01:20] I don't care [01:20] which is what you sort of said you wanted to do. [01:20] nope, never said that [01:20] I said I don't care about it [01:20] deleteing the partions and reruning update-grub will remove the entries. [01:21] good night all [01:21] since update-grub is seeing the other insgtalls kernel files. [01:21] i see [01:21] so theoretically I could just remove the contents of /boot on the other system drive === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [01:21] and that would "fix" it as well [01:21] abstrakt: yes. or just rename the boot. [01:21] aight I'm gonna try the reconfigure version [01:21] but whats the point in keepoing it installed if you are not going touse it. [01:22] Dr_Willis, the point is that I want my original grub list back [01:22] abstrakt: original or not.. is not the issue.. its showing all the installed systems as its designed to. [01:22] not in my mind [01:22] it should show the system that I ran update-grub from first [01:22] expand your mind then. [01:22] no? [01:22] it puts them in the hd order as far as i know. [01:22] like if I have install A and install B, if I run update-grub from install A then the grub menu should have A as the default [01:23] sda first, sdb next and so on. then non linux afterwards [01:23] yeah well install A is on /dev/sda6 and install B is on /dev/sda7 [01:23] ActionParsnip, mission accomplished, still only lo... and the umts modem doesn't appear either - although listed in lsusb... might there be something networking related be mising? [01:23] yet the /dev/sda7 comes out first [01:23] it can tell what order you installed them [01:23] if you run update-grub with a external usb hd plugged in - with linux on that usb.. it will also get added. :) which is confuseing [01:24] nicofs: copy the 8 character ex ID and search for guides using that [01:24] kill the useless install. problem solved. [01:24] Dr_Willis, hmm... how does it tell what order I installed them? [01:24] i guess timestamps? [01:24] Dr_Willis, aight I guess so [01:24] abstrakt: never noticed. I dont use 2+ distros on same machine. or if i do they are on theoir own hd;s not the same hd., [01:25] Dr_Willis, right... I don't really use two distros, it's for sanity/backup/restoration purposes [01:25] works quite well for said purpose actually [01:25] Xavier1001__: whats a system 76? [01:25] if the newest release !@#$%&'s my system then I still have my old install [01:25] i just set up grub to boot an iso file as a rescue option [01:25] ActionParsnip, both wlan and umts worked on the same kernel with a different root filesystem... and wlan is priority as i need to dl a lot more than my mobile plan allows... [01:27] Acid190: system76.com [01:27] Dr_Willis, an ISO file stored where? [01:27] abstrakt: anywhere on any hd... or flash drive even. [01:27] Dr_Willis, what if Ubuntu corrupts the partition you have said ISO file stored upon? (which is what happened to me) [01:27] Dr_Willis, yeah I have a flash drive with the 10.10 installer on it [01:28] abstrakt: you got 2 os;s on the same hd.. what if the hd dies... === flavio is now known as Guest31570 [01:28] tried to save my system with that but couldn't get on the net to look up the grub commands I needed so I just flat did a straight install on my secondary system partition (which is why I keep such a thing around) [01:28] ive had more HD dies then i have had FS's get trashed. [01:28] itaylor57: I love my laptop more than anything, but those system76 laptops could be my next [01:28] Dr_Willis, well then I have my 32G flash drive for file backup and my 1TB USB HD for media backup [01:28] Acid190: I have a lemur [01:29] * Dr_Willis has a redundant stack of external 2TB usb hd's :) [01:29] needing more usb ports next... [01:29] yah I'm running in to that problem as well [01:29] * abstrakt wants USB 3.0 [01:29] itaylor57: ha, that's the one I like the most so far, but I like the 17" 1920X1200 that i have in my current laptop [01:29] backup of a TB worth of data is soooo painful [01:30] esp if it's not just a single tarball === bruno is now known as Guest93519 [01:30] just the fact that my code projects are split into like 30M of files distributed over like 150,000 files makes backup insane [01:31] itaylor57: i like those system 76 laptops.... [01:31] abstrakt: do it overnight, easy. Makes it better if you use firewire instead of slowass USB [01:32] I hate having to listen to my machine at night - prefer to shut it down [01:32] and besides that, to maintain current backups, gotta do it like more than once a week, and all that HD activity just adds to the wear and tear [01:32] but it's either that or don't backup your files :( [01:32] Can anyone give me a quickie on how to install .tgz files?

[02:12] welcome back, matt44 [02:12] thanks [02:12] this is the most user friendly OS i've ever used [02:13] i bought a refurbished computer (p4 era) and this thing is running smoothly. [02:13] matt444, don't confuse it though, it's still linux and just as powerful ;) [02:13] i know [02:13] Hi, I'm using Disk Usage Analyzer on a Ubuntu/WIn7 dualboot and when I check Filesystem, DUA is saying my filesystem is my entire HD [02:13] unlike the other non *nix OS's that got *cough* user friendly [02:13] Does this mean that I can access data anywhere on my HD, including on the Windows partition, from Ubuntu? [02:13] mun: I will guess that DISPLAY needs to be set. If you need some more info from cron, either redirect stdout and stderr to some file and read it or install an MTA so you can get mail from crond [02:13] and should it be set up this way? === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [02:14] Faffel, you just have to mount your windows partition if it ins't done automatically [02:14] this computer had windows XP, I tried sticking in the wireless usb card, didn't recognize it. then I installed ubuntu and it recognized it instantly. no setup === f8d_up_with_qwer is now known as RobotCow [02:14] lol matt444 Ubuntu's motto... it just works [02:14] Ritlee: Well, it's a little strange to me [02:15] hehe [02:15] Anyone? ;_; [02:15] I set aside a 20GB partition and installed Ubuntu [02:15] yep [02:15] The only things I've installed are Steam and Quakelive, and I copied over and then deleted TF2 files for Steam [02:15] But the "file system" in Nautilus is saying it has 6.6GB free [02:15] When I check my filesystem in DUA, it says it's got 171GB free [02:15] So I'm really confused [02:15] now instead of fumbling around on OSX trying to get node.s and other programming stuff installed and working, just works on this ubuntu box. i'm in love. [02:15] I should have well over 6.6GB free on my 20gb partition [02:15] Faffel, that itself is odd [02:16] hello [02:16] Ritlee: 171GB is what's free across my whole HD [02:16] Including the Windows partition [02:16] how do i know which package a given installed file comes from? [02:16] I set the install up using the Windows installer [02:16] guufy: dpkg -S [02:16] jrib, apparently there's no error message. [02:16] Wow, this is bad. If I hit F1 or try to get to some Help page from Gnome Terminal, I get a window explosion. It just keeps opening help window after help window, and I can't even get at the terminal to close it.

[02:16] Faffel, windows installer installed what? [02:16] Ubuntu [02:16] The Ubuntu Windows installer [02:16] i used that [02:16] wubi [02:17] Faffel OH Wubi... [02:17] ugh... wubi [02:17] So I told wubi to set a 20GB partition [02:17] So DUA is saying my filesystem has 171GB free [02:17] Nautilus says File System has 6.6GB free [02:17] And in reality it should have around 13GB free [02:17] Faffel, I tried wubi for about 10 minutes didn't much care for it... it does not make it's own partition not really sure how it works [02:17] ;_; [02:17] everytime I join this channel I see KM0201 beating up on wubi... I love it :P [02:17] ugh [02:18] jrib: i just can't help it... :) [02:18] Maybe I should just cram "File System" full of crap and see what happens when it runs out of space [02:18] Faffel, what windows OS are you using? [02:18] Win7 [02:18] jrib, sorry actually there is. it says glib.GError: Unable to connect to server [02:18] jrib: unfortunately i've saw more "epic fail" w/ Wubi, than successes. [02:19] I'm probably not using the propery terminology either [02:19] When I say "File System" I mean the File System drive/folder in Nautilus [02:19] Faffel, wubi creates a window folder that includes a file to serve as ubuntu's drive. It can be up to 30 GB but no larger. [02:19] Does anyone know anything about this error on sudo apt-get update: Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Translation-en_US [02:19] I see, jk_ [02:19] I installed Kubuntu, and not my plymouth theme is kubuntu and will not change back. help? [02:19] Faffel, go ahead uninstall wubi and using the disk manager with windows, you can resize your Primary partition and make a 20GB partition and install ubuntu properly you should enjoy it that way [02:19] Ritlee I don't have any blank DVDs [02:19] :( [02:19] Faffel, the discrepancy may be due to Ubuntu's "trash" folder, similar to the Windows recycle bin. [02:20] Nah I cleared that out jk [02:20] Faffel, all you need is a 1GB thumb drive [02:20] Would my Archos 3G work? [02:20] It's an MP3 player that acts like a thumb drive [02:20] Doesn't require any drivers to function [02:20] Faffel, it may [02:20] mun: so did you try setting DISPLAY? [02:21] How would you install from a thumb drive Ritlee? [02:21] Like using a boot disc? [02:21] jrib, in my script, i've already set it using os.environ['DISPLAY'] - ':0.0' [02:21] jrib, in my script, i've already set it using os.environ['DISPLAY'] = ':0.0' [02:21] Dr_Willis, yay! my system just fucked itself again!!!!! wahoooo!

[02:21] Faffel, check in system/Administration/Startup disk creater [02:21] this is seriously really bad... I have this sneaking suspicion that it's the kernel upgrade from the last update [02:22] Faffel, Creator [02:22] Under Win7? [02:22] Or in Ubuntu? [02:22] anyway... what I need to know: shortest quickest route to reinstantiate my original grub [02:22] with a totally fubar system [02:22] Faffel ubuntu [02:22] Ok [02:22] Can anyone help me up with setting up my wifi? I'm only able to connect through ethernet at the moment. [02:22] oh yeah and I ended up screwing my USB boot disk too by doing a system upgrade on that and then shutting down in the middle of it [02:22] took too long [02:22] I'm a total newbie by the way, so if you're not patient don't bother. === Gero is now known as CensoredBiscuit [02:23] abstrakt: well.. sounds like part of your problem is self inflicted [02:23] besides, the USB boot is way too slow... there's gotta be some sort of rescue disk image available that doesn't load all that X crap [02:23] KM0201, only part of it [02:23] Ritlee: It's detected by Startup Disc [02:23] jrib, is there a way to set the DISPLAY variable in cron explicitly? [02:23] Faffel, ? what is [02:23] ? [02:23] The Archos 3G [02:23] KM0201, seriously, the system shouldn't randomly just hang completely and flash both numlock and capslock at me [02:23] My Mp3 player/thumb drive [02:23] mun: sure, just do DISPLAY=:0.0 python blah === don is now known as Guest70910 [02:23] I assume no one can tell me what my problem is. [02:23] it does this all the time now :( [02:23] like wtf [02:23] Ritlee: So I should erase all data off my Archos, and create a start disc using an Ubuntu iso downloaded off the ubuntu.com site? [02:23] !language | abstrakt [02:23] abstrakt: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:24] certainly possible, actually that this hardware has finally gone hawire [02:24] Faffel, oh ok, the startup disk creator is how you would make it a bootable usb and from there you can install ubuntu properly [02:24] Ritlee: So I should erase all data off my Archos, and create a start disc using an ISO off the ubuntu site? [02:24] gpc, get off your high horse, bud... this crap with Ubuntu warrants some curse words, seriously - this is mega lame... I am so ready to just buy a fucking mac [02:24] Faffel, if you can afford wiping the music sure ;) [02:25] I'll just copy it onto my Windows HD [02:25] :P [02:25] Faffel, ;) [02:25] yay!

I'd like to know what the deal is with the notification applet, since I'd like info on the sync status & to be able start & stop the sync action myself [02:31] ah, i need it to work natively on my computer [02:31] okay so i cant connect to internet on hotspot for some reasons [02:31] but [02:31] aww [02:31] join #linux [02:31] Being new to Linux and dualbooting with Windows 7, my Ubuntu won't hook up to the net. [02:31] Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 05) [02:31] Does anyone know how to do this without using Ndiswrapper? [02:31] Should have noticed that... [02:31] jrib, i've made it into the user crontab now, but same thing. [02:31] speedhog_: so just dual boot? [02:31] to refrain from getting my ubuntu boot being rewritten, i would first install it onto my virtualpc [02:31] ah [02:31] i want to keep it on the same partition [02:31] and [02:31] Can someone help me with problems booting from usb? I've tried pendrivesomething and inbootsomething... [02:31] Unetbootin* [02:32] Trying to get through the NFSROOT bug found in 10.04 and 10.10, seems to be a mount.nfs or mountall bug... [02:32] USB isn't the best way. [02:32] mun: wfm. What's your script? [02:32] Darke: What wireless chipset? [02:32] mikebot: if neither worked, its likely an issue w/ your thumbdrive... some of them just don't work well for booting live USB's. [02:32] Sorry, chipset? All I know is I'm using Dlink wireless router. Define chipset though and I'll probably find it. [02:32] KM0201: yes [02:32] jrib, actually i just realised i need it in the root crontab because the command i run requires it. [02:32] speedhog_: yes what? [02:32] jrib, let me paste you the script [02:32] mikebot, heres a link to it http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [02:33] KM0201: OK, thank you... I'll try another one [02:33] mun: so make it say "hello" and run it as your user [02:33] jrib, ok [02:33] Darke: Is it an internal wireless card or USB? (If you have a choice between the two internal is usually the better one to use). [02:33] Hey [02:33] HOw do I reset my keychain password? [02:33] Sorry. Internal. [02:34] km0201: i want to dual boot, but i want to manually place and configure the boot so i dont need to delete ubuntu's current one and then i would boot from grub [02:34] Attempting to work through bug #537133 in mountall "issues with NFS root filesystem" -- not yet found a solution, I came here to see if I might get advice [02:34] hallo all together [02:34] speedhog_: dunno about that one... you're on your own there [02:34] ok, thanks === HiddenKnowledge is now known as Guest22538 [02:35] jrib, ok. in user crontab, it works fine. [02:35] Anyone have anything for the internet problem, by any chance? [02:35] Darke: Ok, have you checked to see if there are drivers available in System > Administration > Additional Drivers? [02:35] heh, might try it on a virtual pc first though, i will report results later [02:35] mun: what are you running that requires root? [02:35] is apt-get update going to do everything? I'm ssh-ed into a box that I'm sure needs updating (I've done several at home since I was into it last, and my laptop has had several updates) but that command seems to run very fast for having to do that many updates. I'm wondering if it only got lists of updateable packages or something [02:35] yes. None. [02:35] jrib, it's revoco, which checks the battery of my mouse. [02:35] It won't even show any networks. It's completely done. [02:35] But I'll check again. [02:35] jrib, this script basically runs every 10mins, to check the battery of my wireless mouse. [02:36] Don't want to keep restarting everytime I want to check something. It becomes a hassle. [02:36] mun: you could setup revoco so that sudo does not require a password for the revoco command (that's what I do) [02:36] Darke: Can you run "lspci | grep Network" and post the output? (if it's more than one line use http://paste.ubuntu.com ) [02:36] have a question does somebody of you know. if the backtrack tools also work within ubuntu ??? because backtrack don t uses my wlan and i don t want to rebuy things [02:36] Can I run it on a Windows terminal? [02:36] jrib, it used to work, but somehow after a bit of fiddling with gtk (reinstalled), it broke. [02:36] Hey dudes. I am trying to get an NES emulator setup for my son, and I am failing hard. I can't get GFCE to be the default program to open NES files. I tried to right click, and select the GFCE, but it isn't in the list. Where does it install, and how can I get it to be the default NES emulator? Any help is appreciated! :) [02:37] jrib, right. do you know how that can be done? [02:37] I have another question about Wubi's HD usage [02:37] Should it seriously use 9GB of space from a mostly fresh install? [02:37] Is there a synonymous command for cmd (please excuse my hastey spelling). [02:37] NFS-root with ubuntu 10.10 -- seen a tutorial? My errors are "mountall: mount / [406] terminated with status 32" and "mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified" [02:37] *hasty [02:37] MrMintanet, poser, get an atari! Just kidding. Nesticle isn't available for ubuntu? [02:38] mun: %wheel ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/revoco (wheel is the group I allow to run the command without a password) [02:38] Guys. I don't seem to have any audio devices. I type in "ls /dev/audio*" in the terminal and it comes up with the error "File or directory does not exist." Can anyone help me? [02:38] I'll be back. Thanks, Jordan. [02:38] Darke: I don't know how you would get the same info in Windows. [02:39] jrib, so do i create a group called wheel first? [02:39] I installed Kubuntu, and not my plymouth theme is kubuntu and will not change back. help? [02:39] If nobody knows what my problem is please tell me so I can stop wasting my time. [02:39] Anyone here knowledgeable with permisisons of services..? [02:39] mun: well you can just use "admin" (default group that can sudo in ubuntu), create a new group of your choice, or just specify your user directly (in this case replace "%wheel" with "username") [02:39] When I log into said laptop (see my earlier question) I still get the message that there are X number of updates available and Y of them are security updates. [02:40] Brett29229: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [02:40] My question is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10416555#post10416555 [02:40] !here | Brett29229 [02:40] Brett29229: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:40] Just seeing if anyone has any additional recommendations [02:40] <_Neytiri_> i am haveing issues setting up RFC 2136 updates with bind [02:40] trying "NFS-root with ubuntu 10.10", error "mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified" <--- where do we find the options specified? [02:41] Due to an unfortunate typo, changed permissions of root of file system. Now i only have webmin access to the box. Trying to either fix the problem or fix the essentials to get ssh access again and attempt a remote install. [02:41] jrib: thanks [02:42] Brett29229: you did it recursively? [02:42] Brett29229, do you have physical access to the box? [02:42] jrib: yes [02:42] Brett29229: reinstall [02:42] craigbass1976: no physical access, ~3hr drive [02:42] Then jrib has the best advice probably [02:42] jrib: can i do anything to get ssh access again? to attempt a remote install? [02:43] jrib, ok. after updating sudoers, do i need to log out? [02:43] Brett29229: I have no experience with webmin. But what exactly did you execute? You only say "chmod -R /." but don't mention the permission you actually applied [02:44] sorry, left out the #.. everything that got changed before i stopped the process is 744 [02:44] jrib, so with that line, does that mean i don't need a password to run revoco even in the terminal? [02:44] jrib: ^^ [02:44] mun: that's right, you just run "sudo revoco blah" and you won't need a password. You sholudn't need to log out [02:45] jrib, i see. great! [02:45] jrib, it's working now. thanks a lot [02:45] mun: no problem [02:45] jrib, so do you use revoco to check your mouse's battery? [02:45] mun: no but I have to reset the wheel mode sometimes [02:46] jrib, then how do you check the battery level? [02:46] mun: the mouse has 3 lights on it :) [02:46] hey guys am newbie how do we solve this error SystemError: installArchives() failed whenever broadcom sta driver is being installed [02:47] mun: besides, at least with my mouse, I can never discharge it in one day. Only time it's gotten to red is when I forget to leave it in the charger overnight [02:47] jrib, ha. ok. well, i usually ignore them, which i probably shouldn't. [02:48] jrib, oh right. you recharge it everynight? [02:48] mun: sure, I just leave it in the charger [02:48] jrib, i see. well i try to optimise my battery's life by charging when it needs to. [02:48] apt-get update vs apt-get upgrade. The upgrade will not bring me from lucid to maverick, right? THat's only a whole apt-get dist-upgrade? [02:48] Does anyone know how to fix the libatasmart errors mentioned in this question?: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16608/ [02:49] I want to use gltext as my screen saver and set my own message - the man page tells me what file to change, I changed it and when I test - it seems my changes are ignored - what am I missing [02:49] jrib, since i heard lithium batteries only can live through a certain number of charges. [02:49] hey, after i have my laptop running for a while, my audio gets all robot like, and its always fine after i reboot, does anyone else have this issue? if so, how can i fix it? [02:49] hey guys how do we solve this error SystemError: installArchives() failed whenever broadcom sta driver is being installed [02:50] NFSroot is always SUCH a time investment [02:50] mun: logitech support is incredibly awesome. I actually had a previous mouse, the middle click started making a funny noise, they sent me this more expensive one (because old one was discontinued). Then I asked them to send me new mouse feet because they were worn out, and they sent me a new mouse. So... I wouldn't worry about the battery. As long as it lasts for a day, it's perfect for me [02:51] things never work as expected [02:51] as we see here, there are bugs in 10.04 and 10.10 [02:51] Brett29229: are you able to get any output from webmin? Can you try to start ssh? [02:51] 6 [02:51] greg3000: and? there's bugs in winxp, win vista, and win 7 as well?.. No OS is w/o bugs [02:51] hey guys am newbie how do we solve this error SystemError: installArchives() failed whenever broadcom sta driver is being installed [02:52] jrib, oh really? my charger is very dodgy, the metal plates can't make contact with the mouse. but do you think i can ask for an exchange? [02:52] KM0201: I'm trying to fix bug #537133 @ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/mountall/+bug/537133 [02:52] jrib, it's quite old already though.. i've lived with it for about 2yrs. [02:52] wamicho: are you connected to the internet?.. [02:52] I run the /etc/init.d/ssh start, says starting, then 'done' [02:52] jrib: no errors.. [02:52] yap [02:52] mun: contact them and tell them about the issue. My original mouse (the one I paid for) is 6 years old now [02:52] greg3000: well what more do you want?.. they've confirmed the bug and assigned it? [02:52] jrib: but i cannot connect to the box, ssh connection closed unexpectedly [02:53] KM0201 yap [02:53] Is it possible for Nautilus to be reporting an incorrect amount of free space on the Ubuntu file system created on my Windows partition with Wubi? It says I have 6.6GB/17.3GB free, but DUA is only reporting 6-7G of space used on the File System [02:53] jrib, and they sent you a replacement even it's 6yrs old? [02:53] wamicho: cuz it loksl ike you're not connected to the internet. [02:53] mun: let's move to #ubuntu-offtopic if you don't mind [02:53] KM0201: I'm not even sure, sounds like wamicho says "yes" [02:53] jrib, sure. sorry about that. [02:54] Brett29229: can you execute arbitrary shell commands? [02:54] KM0201 it downloads then when it wants to install it gives that error [02:54] jrib: yes [02:54] wamicho: hmm, wel,l try installing it off the ubuntu live cd/usb [02:55] If I have a process with mutliple threads, does /proc/pid/status show the aggregate memory usage for example for both threads? [02:55] Brett29229: does « ps -ef | grep ssh » return anything? [02:55] Is it bad to use all your gnome apps in kde [02:56] jrib: yes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560816/ [02:56] Brett29229: by they way, I think it will be faster to drive than figure this out [02:56] Does anyone have any experience with getting CPanel to work on Ubuntu? (I do know it's "not supported" by the authors) [02:56] Do we have a NFS-root veteran or maintainer here? [02:56] If this isn't the right channel can someone direct me to the best place to ask? [02:57] Can netbook remix be run from usb only, no hard drive install? [02:57] mylastbreath: anything can be run from usb only [02:57] there I answered someone's question, hopefully karma will be nice to me now [02:57] jrib: ok. do you know of the best way to re-install? I'd like to get it up and running with minimal work, hopefully keeping configuration files, etc. is the only thing i can do back up /etc/? [02:58] Brett29229: well backup your data. /home in particular. Also /etc for configuration as you mentioned. If you're running apache and mysql on there, you'll likely want to back up /var too. [02:59] greg3000: thanks [02:59] anytime m8 [02:59] NFS-root in 10.10 -- anyone done it? [03:00] jrib: if i back up /var and /etc, then restore them once the new install is ready, will i not end up with the same permission files? don't those permissions carry over? [03:00] Brett29229: Permissions issues can lead to serious security issues. Make sure that in tryint to back up configuration files you don't re-introduce incorrect permissions (just because it's working doesn't mean it's secure). [03:00] Hi. So has anyone had the problem where they're dualbooting Ubuntu and Windows and Ubuntu won't connect to the internet at all? [03:00] ? === Alyx is now known as Guest22935 [03:00] Brett29229: that's a good point, you can use a live cd as a reference [03:01] jrib: not sure what you mean by that [03:01] I don't want to use Ndiswrapper, and drivers won't show up, or the networks. [03:01] Darke: Were you able to find out what chipset your wireless card uses? [03:01] Darke, not in a while. Did it ever get on the internet? [03:01] Oops. Not yet. [03:01] Nope. [03:01] No networks shown, no drivers found. [03:01] Why can't you connect to the internet when your on it right now? [03:01] Though I'm on my Windows and it's working find. [03:01] *fine [03:02] It's my Ubuntu that won't connect. [03:02] Brett29229: what do you need to copy from the broken system (i.e. things you do not have working backups for)? [03:02] ah [03:02] Darke: boot ubuntu, type "lspci" no quotes in a terminal(lowercase L) hit enter, save the entire out put to a terminal, then come back here under windows. [03:02] Darke: do you know the wireless chipset? is this a laptop [03:02] I know it happened to be for a little bit but then I restsrted it and it worked fine again [03:02] ? [03:02] Mmk. Brb. [03:02] yes. [03:03] I am on a lapton, Ous. [03:03] *laptop [03:03] hi [03:03] Brb. [03:03] hmm, he gone now [03:04] Guest22538: yeah, he can't get any internet access under Linux, so he has to boot windows when he has a prob. [03:04] I'm guess he's on the computer he dual boots from [03:04] hmmm? [03:04] jrib: well now that i'm thinking about it, i have /etc, /var/www, and sql dumps of mysql databases. maybe i won't need to restore some. there are just a bunch of random things i have set up over time that would be nice to keep the config fore. [03:05] how can i make nautilus to open faster, like explorer in winbugs 7?? (the worst example LOL) [03:06] :( fuck [03:06] Brett29229: right, well you can use your backups to see what permissions files should have. I imagine mostly you can just set file's permissions to 644 and directory permissions to 755. So you can do that to files you are copying from the broken system and then maybe use « find » to search for exceptions to that rule on your backups [03:06] how can I downlaod yahoo messenger ? [03:06] !language | greg3000 [03:06] greg3000: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:07] pc_: use pidgin or empathy?

Also, isn't emerald unsupported? [03:12] greg3000: This is a support channel, not a place to vent frustration. Please stick to comments that will further the task of getting your problem solved.

[03:31] Ugons: did you follow that link i gave you? [03:31] Help plz [03:31] no--name: if you install byobu and answer "yes" when it asks if it should run by default, you'll get a nice screen session that when you look at your terminal lists how many updates are available at the bottom in red and shows a blue R if you need to reboot [03:31] Yes, I figured out the network controller [03:31] no--name: Updates to kernal, or other major functions. [03:31] I tried to private chat you but you didn't reply so I just posted it [03:31] Ugons: It's best to at least include a short description of the problem/question even if you link to a forum thread for all the details.

Ubuntu has a much better system for updates too. the only thing I dislike about ubuntu is that the package system is crazy messed up. one application is split into several packages which causes confusion and irritation :( [03:33] ous: itll say not found [03:34] Pythonic: if you type ruby and hit tab a few times... maybe its like ruby5 or something like that? [03:34] Pythonic: Did you give the correct path to the ruby script? [03:34] let me see [03:35] maco, Yes, it says ruby 1.8 [03:35] Pythonic: with that space? O_o [03:35] no [03:35] ruby ruby1.8 [03:35] Pythonic: ok so the command is ruby1.8 not just ruby [03:36] maco: He is using the right name for the command, it's the path to the script (most likely) that is wrong. [03:36] prod____: you want to know how to write a script or just how to change priv to exicute? chmod +x ./nameofyourscript or man chmod [03:36] Jordan_U: but it said the ruby was not found...

[03:51] Unauthorised: #ubuntu-packaging is better, but a packagename.install file in debian/ is the answer [03:52] mikebot: hmm, thats strange... [03:52] that doesn't sound like a unetbootin or pendrive problem. [03:52] maco: ahh thanks! I'll look into that.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!! [04:04] really ? uhmmmm [04:04] sshc: glad to hear it :-) [04:04] greenwax: it would have to do with how many files in the dir and how big they are, if media has no files or less files then it would be faster to sync [04:04] maco: brb, restarting updates...

[04:13] retro_: assume their friend pranked them and unplugged everything? [04:13] sacarlson: I don't think that is it either. I am the only user [04:13] I checked. [04:13] greenwax: ok [04:14] bc81: What do you mean by "touch /forcefsck"? [04:14] No one is in the house. [04:14] I left to go grab a snack. [04:14] Came back an bam! nothing. [04:14] bullgard4: use the touch command to create /forcefsck [04:14] bullgard4: "sudo touch /forcefsck" [04:14] Loshki: GParted is the most advanced partition editor as far as I know. [04:15] about to do an install of ubuntu alongside vista [04:15] lc0658385: ok..? [04:15] bullgard4: "most advanced" does not imply "most bug-free". Try using fdisk instead? [04:15] bullgard4: check drives for errors, then come right back [04:15] not im not sure hether to install 32 bit 64 bit. i have been googling. but seems there is alot of confusion [04:16] lc0658385: how much RAM do you have? [04:16] lc0658385: it depends what CPU you have and how much RAM [04:16] if i want to run ine stuff. should i avoid 64 bit ?? [04:16] Hello, i just upgraded to Maverick from Hardy (im on a netbook). Before, on Hardy, if i played a game under wine with a resolution of 800x600, it would stretch to fill my entire screen. However now under Maverick it just uses a square in the middle (actual 800x600). Any way i can fix this? [04:16] Hello, i just upgraded to Maverick from Hardy (im on a netbook).

[04:16] lc0658385: *some*(not much anymore) oddball hardware may work better under 32bit, or some web plugins, etc.. work better under 32bit... [04:16] maco: i have turion 64 x2 processor and 2 gb of ram [04:17] Loshki: Thank you very much for your advice. I know the command fdisk well. [04:17] lc0658385: if it were me, w/ only 2gigs of ram, i'd just install 32bit. [04:17] bc81: Stop trolling. [04:17] maco: and broadcom wireless. i think that might be a problem on 64 bit. maybe thats a wrong assumption ? [04:17] bullgard4: so can you move the partition using fdisk? [04:17] maco: did that to no avail! [04:18] lc0658385: there are native drivers now [04:18] bullgard4: why do you think i'm trolling? i'm giving you legitimate advice..you can choose not to take it, but please don't falsely accuse me [04:18] lc0658385: i think dell threatened broadcom if they didnt release some post-haste [04:18] maco: lol [04:18] Can someone help me fix my postfix installation? [04:18] maco: thanks.. hmm.. sounds like you think 64 bit is safe enough [04:18] lc0658385: ive been using it since '08 (when i got a 64bit machine) [04:18] bullgard4: Can you explain exactly what you're trying to do, and pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and any error messages from gparted? [04:19] maco: thanks.. i will install it ;) [04:19] lc0658385: the only caution is that i find 64bit to be a bit slower than 32bit with equal amounts of ram. my 64bit machine now has 4gb [04:19] can someone help me troubleshoot my sound card. Ubuntu is no longer detecting it! [04:19] lc0658385: 64bit is probably fine... i've used 32bit on a 64bit machine for 4yrs, no issues.. i just don't see the point of 64bit, w/ less than 4gigs of ram [04:19] Hello, can any one help me with setup of dual screen with each one different not mirrored. I use an ati radeon 9250 and am running ubuntu 10.04lts with all latest updates/drivers. [04:19] Okay... so I want to reset all of my network settings... can anyone tell me how to do this?

[04:20] how can i suspend my netbook whit ubuntu 10.10, its a hasee netbook and wont suspend [04:20] lc0658385: then go 32 bit for now. You can upgrade later if you add more ram... [04:21] i try the s2ram command [04:21] but isnt works [04:21] Loshki: lc0658385: The only way to " [04:21] any ideas [04:21] lc0658385: others say they notice no difference. its possibly just because i keep so much stuff running constantly... id have > 100 firefox tabs with regularity at the time [04:21] Loshki: lc0658385: ... to "upgrade" from 32 to 64 but Ubuntu is to re-install.

[04:23] bullgard4: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after getting this IO error? I still suspect it's a hardware problem, even if SMART says nothing is wrong. [04:23] any ideas why ubuntu is no longer detecting my sound card!?!?

"The previous self-test completed having the read element of the test failed". That's bad...

[05:55] i got 9.10 isos on 2 cds, now im out of cds. and my flash drive is only showing 2 megs, i cant use the fdisk command without the location of the flash drive and it wont let me do it mounted [05:55] @ubuser: I installed 10.10 on my flash drive a few minutes ago using usb-creator. I partition my flash drive using disk utility, and install ubuntu on the second partition. With the first for data, as Windoze can only see the first partition on a drive. [05:55] ubuser, have you tried reformatting the flash drive? [05:55] ubuser: well first on the machine you downloaded the ubuntu iso...is it windows or ubuntu? [05:56] i NEED to reformat it [05:56] and why not install from cd ubuser ¿ [05:56] no more cds [05:56] used them and the 9.10 isos wont work, but did on my grandmas..? [05:56] ubuser: your' going to backup your flashdrive and reformat it to make a clean usb device that way you can begin [05:56] @ubuser: You can use lili on windows, and disk-creator for linux. As for mac, nobody seems to care about that. [05:56] im on ubuntu right now i tried the fdisk command [05:57] ubuser: gparted is great, 100% for doing this type of task [05:57] @ubuser: You can use gparted. It specifies size in MB [05:57] i dont have any files on it... i need to clear my flash to put the iso on it [05:57] i got the unetbootin to install from flash [05:57] ubuser: that's exactly the point. use gparted to reformat the usb device [05:58] @ubuser: You can also repartition it too. [05:58] oh okay [05:58] u can format in cmdline [05:58] Hi, I have several audio outputs on my motherboard. The motherboard came with a app/driver for windows where I could control each port. I find I cannot with ubuntu's default tools/driver. Is there something else I could try? [05:58] ubuser: but first you need to know where it's name, example: /dev/sdf1 etc. [05:58] thats all ive needed :( [05:59] im in dev [05:59] sudo ls -Ralh /dev/disk [05:59] would it be a folder? [05:59] @ubuser: Go in gparted, and go to the right side, and find your device [05:59] there is no disk file or folder [05:59] ubuser: sudo lsusb !! [06:00] hi all, I have a quick question, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 maverik, and I need to know how to run a command just before the login screen every time I boot up...

[06:06] Hello, i just upgraded to Maverick from Hardy (im on a netbook). Before, on Hardy, if i played a game under wine with a resolution of 800x600, it would stretch to fill my entire screen. However now under Maverick it just uses a square in the middle (actual 800x600). Any way i can fix this? [06:06] sorry [06:06] im tryna get off it [06:06] 20 hrs straight [06:06] havent slept [06:06] raviepic3, cinerella is probably the closest to professional [06:06] i'm not sure if you'll have much luck with repos [06:06] bucky, oh [06:06] @col0ur: what version of wine do you use? [06:06] just one simple command its sad [06:06] bucky, guvcview ? [06:07] sorandomname, i've tested with the unstable 1.3 and the stable 1.2 [06:07] dillon: you make the best reloading equipment in the world, you're my heroes. ;) [06:07] both have the same issue [06:07] bucky, but the links that they have given to download or commands they have given to install aint working [06:07] LOL [06:07] I just installed ubuntu on an old laptop. In the liveCD, the touchpad worked fine but now, after the install, I can't get the touchpad or a PS2 mouse to work. Can someone help me out? [06:07] dillon: are you a blue fan? [06:07] @col0ur: I don't have problems playing pinball under wine at 640x480 on a display that is 1600x1200 in full screen. [06:07] bucky, i mean cinerella [06:07] getting my sources.list update was fun [06:07] ubuser: there's a guy on youtube called gotbletu, he made a video on how to use repos from other versions of ubuntu. otherwise you'll probably have to use firefox to download your programs in order to create your live usb [06:07] im downloading gparted now [06:08] KM0201: actually, when my parents named me, my dad wanted to name me that spelled this way because of that :P [06:08] sorandomname, im not sure if its a wine error as much as an error on the OS's part [06:08] dillon: is that right?... wise dad you have there... :) [06:08] raviepic3, a ppa would be best and then if you didn't like it you could apt-get remove cinerella [06:08] Hey everyone, quick question: friend of mine has a tv station and wants to broadcast their news to mobile phones. Any Linux tools to help with that? [06:08] KM0201: lol :) [06:08] bucky, ppa ?

[06:12] but the link was old and it deleted my firefox... so im stuck with epiphany otherwise i would proabably keep 5.1 [06:12] yes i do, im download gedit now [06:12] @ubuser: you can download ubuntu 10.10: http://www.ubuntu.com/get-ubuntu/download [06:12] i mean gparted [06:12] i got the iso [06:12] ubuser: you probably have atleast vi or nano on there [06:12] ubuser: no need to download gedit [06:13] ubuser: stop experimenting, downloading random scripts and Start following instructions given to you by people who have been trying really hard to figure out what it is you want to do. [06:13] ubuser: but i could be wrong...i don't know ubuntu 5.10. it's like a whole different world from where 10.10 is right now [06:14] ubuser: for the past hour I have been watching you go around in circles and you haven't actually done anything suggested. [06:14] Hello, i just upgraded to Maverick from Hardy (im on a netbook). Before, on Hardy, if i played a game under wine with a resolution of 800x600, it would stretch to fill my entire screen. However now under Maverick it just uses a square in the middle (actual 800x600). Any way i can fix this? [06:14] i meant gparted, to fix my flash to put the 10.10 iso on it [06:14] ive done it all man [06:14] wassup === michael is now known as Teggeh [06:14] lsusb, fdisk, cfdisk, others and itried reinstalling fire fox with a 1,000 repos\ [06:15] Got it working.

[06:15] how much of ubuntu is written in lisp [06:15] i got repos man [06:15] Us3r_Unfriendly: 5.10 has been dead for ~3 years now [06:15] ubuser, there's a neat program from pendrivelinux.com which makes a bootable install USB from an ISO [06:15] wierd dns question via vpn in ubuntu... [06:15] but it's only for windows [06:16] tbh atm you're out of luck [06:16] @c0lour: it is called lili [06:16] afai can see [06:16] ubuser: your only going to need "Gparted", "unetbootin", the ubuntu 10.10 iso and the flashdrive [06:16] that's all [06:16] I'm sorry. I just asked this but I was having a couple problems so I missed it if anyone ansered my question: I just installed Ubuntu on an old laptop and in the liveCD, the touchpad worked fine. After the install, however, neither the touchpad nor a PS2 mouse will work. Could someone help me out? [06:16] col0ur: unetbootin ? google it, its easy to use.. but it has a linux version as well. [06:16] damn forgot unet [06:16] i resolv.conf has my dns server... nslookup hostname.domain.com works.. but ping hostname.domain.com does not.. any ideas?

[06:16] unetbootin is one of the important parts [06:17] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [06:17] ^ that is what i used [06:17] it worked very nicely [06:17] kaushal: what are you trying to force install?... [06:17] i really hope lubuntu runs better i'll still visit with you guys lawl [06:17] anyone know how to download samba3 through apt-get instead of samba4? b/c every time I do a sudo apt-get install samba, it installs 4 [06:17] v [06:17] @sorandomname: well, I had to install irssi to get on this channel and I also did updates. Maybe it also should be noted that I installed from a 10.04 CD. [06:18] wow [06:18] jayd3e: sudo apt-cache search samba | grep -i samba3 [06:18] @fromano: Try 10.10 I had issues with video in 10.04. [06:18] i have a dns question via vpn in ubuntu... after i connect resolv.conf has my dns server on my vpn... nslookup hostname.domain.com works.. but ping hostname.domain.com does not.. anyone have any ideas why this might be the case? [06:18] xin chun ge [06:18] jayd3e: see if it's there, i think i heard it isn't [06:18] The kernel is unable to read the partition tables on the following devices dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root [06:18] chunge chun ye men === jacques_ is now known as Guest12013 [06:19] sorandomname: okay, I might do that. Does anyone else have any ideas before I try that. I have a pretty slow internet connection so it's not that desirable an option. [06:19] Us3r_Unfriendly: ill check, why wouldn't it be? The devs say on the wiki that samba4 shouldn't be used on a production server yet. So I'm trying to use 3 and I can't? lol [06:19] KM0201: asterisk [06:19] i always get screwed [06:19] <[Adam|Miner]> My installer keeps crashing, any tips for making it work? Core i5 Sandybridge, USB -> SSD [06:19] kaushal: so just sudo apt-get install asterisk [06:20] @fromano: 10.04 had issues for me, and I used 9.10 for a year until 10.10. ;) However, I was able to get the perfect 10 of ubuntu [06:20] how do I route all my outgoing mails through Sendmail through a different email server? [06:20] [Adam|Miner], tried the alternate installer yet? [06:20] jayd3e: i have no idea, that's what i heard someone talking about here. they could be wrong [06:21] <[Adam|Miner]> It seems to fail around the point where it starts copying files [06:21] <[Adam|Miner]> bazhang: How? [06:21] Us3r_Unfriendly: yah it isn't there [06:21] !alternate | [Adam|Miner] [06:21] [Adam|Miner]: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [06:21] jayd3e: yeah i don't see it either [06:21] jayd3e: you might have to see their website [06:21] Us3r_Unfriendly: sooooo, any suggestions on how to install samba3? [06:21] <[Adam|Miner]> So I have to install it through a cli [06:22] [Adam|Miner], no, a text-based interface [06:22] <[Adam|Miner]> hmmm [06:22] sorandomname: I suppose I'll try it and see what happens. [06:22] bucky, i use ubuntu 10.04 64 bit version [06:22] <[Adam|Miner]> does it ship on the live disk or do I have to download something else? [06:22] [Adam|Miner] It isn't that painful. Its just your gui installer with less colors. [06:23] @Adam Miner: You have do download it [06:23] You have to download something else [06:23] jayd3e: http://www.samba.org/ [06:23] Us3r_Unfriendly: hmmm Im thinking maybe I need to do an apt-get install samba, I may have been doing apt-get install samba4 [06:23] <[Adam|Miner]> Alright, the network is restricted atm, so I'll have to try more tommorrow [06:23] @Adam Miner: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [06:24] sudo apt-cache show samba says it's "samba 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.2" [06:24] Us3r_Unfriendly: would that solve my problem? [06:24] <[Adam|Miner]> Funny how I have installed fine on my other 4 machines, but this one threw a huge fuss [06:24] how do i find mine is meverick or something else ? [06:24] Us3r_Unfriendly: o ic [06:24] i use 10.04 64 bit version [06:24] raviepic3: what's the question again? [06:24] Hi, I have several audio outputs on my motherboard. The motherboard came with a app/driver for windows where I could control each port. I find I cannot with ubuntu's default tools/driver. Is there something else I could try? [06:24] raviepic3: lsb_release -a in a terminal will tell you what version you use [06:24] raviepic3: uname -a will tell you whether its 64 or 32 bit [06:25] Adam: Trust me, happens all the time. Its just that people try to help the people with breaking installs and ignore us who need help setting up email servers. [06:25] raviepic3: also "cat /etc/issue" will help too [06:25] whoa i have maverick [06:25] is there a ubuntu server channel? [06:25] goddard: #ubuntu-server [06:25] raviepic3: is that a surprise? [06:25] <[Adam|Miner]> Email servers :X, have fun!

[06:26] lol [06:27] rallias: futuristic ubuntu [06:27] jayd3e: did you find samba3? [06:28] how to boot from root with btrfs w/o additional stuff? [06:28] alteregod: btrfs?? [06:28] yes [06:28] because SSD is in use [06:28] Us3r_Unfriendly: Yumm... brain transfers. Finally computers will know why people like doughnuts. [06:28] a whole new filesystem for ubuntu? [06:29] <[thor]> Datz: have you changed to a profile that uses all the outs? --> http://uppix.net/8/8/9/3d466ee5ea8ce8b43730f4e5adc05.png [06:29] alteregod: i might be the only person here that doesn't know what btrfs is [06:29] Us3r_Unfriendly: I think that is samba3. The version number is 3.5.4 [06:29] jayd3e: like from the site [06:29] jayd3e: do they offer a ppa? [06:29] alteregod: Any particular reason you're using an unstable partition scheme? I don't even know if its supported by GRUB yet. [06:29] Us3r_Unfriendly: yah, but ill just probably dl the package and install it manually [06:30] [thor]: maybe. They all work, I'd just like to be able to control them separately [06:30] jayd3e: sounds good. hope it works out [06:30] <[thor]> Datz: have you read up on the JACK audio system? [06:30] Us3r_Unfriendly: thanks man [06:30] jayd3e: i think i used samba once. i have no use for it [06:30] <[thor]> Datz: it provides more routing control than the PulseAudio system [06:31] [thor]: I have not [06:31] jayd3e: if samba3 is what you are looking for and it is in the repos, why not use it? [06:31] [thor]: I'll take a look. thanks [06:31] <[thor]> Datz: JACK is useful for sound/music production, and can be co-installed with Pulse [06:31] well if it won't work i can add something like a ext4 parttition for /boot [06:31] jayd3e: no problem [06:31] milamber: going to [06:31] milamber: 'cuz it's not in the repos [06:31] alteregod: I'd recommend ext2 for /boot, but yeah thats fine. [06:31] <[thor]> !jack [06:32] ext2 has no journal [06:32] <[thor]> hmm, guess not [06:32] jayd3e: what version of ubuntu?

[06:33] I'm going to upgrade my PC from 2gig to 6gig ram, is it safe/possible to switch my ubuntu from 32-bit to 64-bit? without formatting or anything :) [06:33] Aranel, full reinstall needed [06:33] Aranel: no, i don't think it works that way... [06:33] [thor]: or can I just install a package and ta-da.. browse through options? [06:33] kaushal: dunno, try running sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade [06:33] then run the command again [06:33] Aranel: Formatting, yes. Reinstalling, no [06:34] Aranel: dpkg will bitch and moan. [06:34] Aranel: in my opinion 32 is 32 and 64 is 64, they don't mix the two when giving the option to update [06:34] kaushal: you got something wrong there in your source list for sure. [06:34] <[thor]> datz: i got it to work with minimal knowledge of the OS. the routing application is pretty straight-forward. one side has output ( be it a physical input port, or an applications audio output ), and one has input ( physical output ports, or application inputs ) [06:34] d'oh :| but I'm using the same system for 3 years (and changed 2 computers in the process), I can't reinstall everything from start, It would take ages :( [06:35] <[thor]> datz: you draw a line from "Firefox out 1/2" to "Soundcard Output 1/2" and it routes that signal [06:35] rallias: i've used dpkg to force flash 32bit installer to work on my 64 machine...along with echo'ing a file to my /etc/ to make it work with less crashes [06:35] Aranel: google for installing PAE enabled kernel. running 32 bit progs uses more ram w/ 64bit os iirc [06:35] [thor]: cool. I'll have a look. thanks [06:35] !pae | milamber Aranel [06:35] milamber Aranel: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [06:36] Us3r_Unfriendly: You must teach me the secrets of the jedi [06:36] <[thor]> datz: beware however; the linux audio system is murky and filled with dispair :D [06:36] <[thor]> despair even [06:36] thanks xangua, i'll try that next time when i go back to a 32 bit. i mean that [06:36] [thor]: ha, ok :P [06:36] hey i waan to connect my net via mobile via bluetooth but i cnat can anyone here to help me out [06:36] gonna check PAE too, so, no ways to install 64-bit on my system, instead of starting from the day 1, correct?

[06:42] !clone | Aranel [06:42] Aranel: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [06:42] unfortunately i am new to ubuntu but i am having trouble getting my wireless card to install so i am using my windows partition [06:42] <[thor]> milamber: thanks for that!

[06:44] <[thor]> abel_nightshade: most wireless cards should work without needing to use the accompanying "driver cd" [06:44] abel_nightshade: i'm currently working on that type of issue with my girlfriend's dad's pc. normally i would say use "ndisgtk" but that doesn't work for everything [06:44] abel_nightshade: ** use "gksudo ndisgtk" [06:45] the wireless card i am having issues with is a broadcom 43xx [06:45] does anyone know how i use autogen.sh and PKG_CONFIG_PATH and how it relates to the --prefix option [06:45] Us3r_Unfriendly: maybe, but installing the system from day 1 is not a preffered way for me. Looks like I'm going to stick to 32-bit for a long time. [06:45] why do you need 64 bit apps? [06:46] Aranel: ubuntu is great for having 32 bit programs in their repos... [06:46] to use 6gig of ram, looks like PAE is an alternative to it but 64-bit is a better way to handle this I guess. [06:46] doesn't it have the same for 64-bit? [06:46] <[thor]> you don't need to uninstall to use PAE, i switched about 2 months after install [06:46] Aranel: i'd say use what the other suggested. [06:46] Aranel: that's what i'm going to do when i get some free time [06:46] <[thor]> it's like any other kernel upgrade [06:47] Us3r_Unfriendly: why? does 64-bit any disadvantages I don't know? [06:47] <[thor]> Us3r_Unfriendly: sorry, no /msg on this server [06:48] Aranel: personally i like linux in a 32 bit flavor, but that's me. Some people want higher performance (which i have noticed -none-). [06:49] [thor]: guess i'll never know then [06:49] [thor]: looks easy to do =) Would it perform the same as 64-bit or are there any disadvantages with PAE? (Virtual Address Extension is one of them, I don't know why I need it anyway) [06:49] <[thor]> Us3r_Unfriendly: all i got was a message saying your incoming was blocked [06:50] <[thor]> Aranel: i've not tried a 64bit system for any great length of time. [06:50] [thor]: well i can't ask you in here, never mind [06:50] <[thor]> Us3r_Unfriendly: #thor- [06:51] Us3r_Unfriendly: well, Isn't it unneccesary to downgrade to 32-bit, when you already using 64-bit and It's okay? [06:51] there is technically some performance reduction with PAE, but in practice it's negligible [06:51] Aranel: for me i notice on my machine that ubuntu runs smoother with a 32bit version, due to my specs === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [06:54] Thank you Us3r_Unfriendly, [thor], tsimpson and xangua :) I changed my mind and decided to stay on 32-bit and use PAE instead =) === censoredbiscuit_ is now known as censoredbiscuit [06:55] * Aranel wouldn't upgrade his ram to 6gb if Mozilla optimized their Firefox :| It's consuming at least %25~ of my RAM.

[06:58] Jordan_U: well It's the only reasonable alternative to FF, so I should try it :) [06:58] Aranel: Especially the fact that when flash crashes it doesn't bring down Chrome. [06:59] <[thor]> just the frowny face of doom [06:59] Jordan_U: It also doesn't bring down Firefox on 3.6.13 [07:00] Aranel: Good to know.

(Never used Access but that's the comparison I suppose) [07:05] How can I search for a certain string in all notes contents of Nautilus > right-click on a filename> Notes? [07:05] tripelbb: database? why not something like SQLite? [07:05] Jordan_U, Aranel, Firefox doesnt have separate actions in tabs so FF must w.a.i.t. for all tabs to finish before you can look at your choice of tab. [07:06] I would like to ask a question. Can I backup my ubuntu with partimage on SystemRescuecd and restore to an new empty HDD? So partimage can create MBR and partitions? [07:07] tripelbb: I am using Kexi and Base as well very often. Both have their deficiencies. [07:07] Jordan_U, Aranel, BTW chrome every so often takes up all the RAM and must be restarted. But when flash? (it reports shockwave in youtube) crashes you can just reload the tab. [07:08] I've got a speed of 28 ogen crows [07:08] tripelbb: same feature is also present on Firefox, you just reload the tab instead of app crash. [07:08] sorry wrong place [07:08] is there a way to make it so that if I tap twice on my trackpad it doesn't act as holding down the mouse key? [07:08] Aranel, I've never had it crash in FF, heh [07:08] left mouse button* [07:09] word choice fail right there [07:10] bullgard4 can you tell me more about Kexi and Base. I have heard of MySql too. I actually know very little. (but I did student-teach a class in data structures a while back, for CS majors) [07:11] tripelbb: you're lucky, mine was crashing 10 times a day, and It still crashes once in a week to make me remember why Adobe sucks. [07:13] i tried to connect via ubuntu file explorer via SSH, however when i copy a file it seems that the file is first copied to the local machine, can i force him to do all operation only on remote site without using the console (due to the gui ease of use)# [07:13] tripelbb: I guess (I'm not experienced at all) MySql, SQLite and their kind are more advanced and "low-level" choices, afaik they don't ship with a GUI, you install one. Kexi is much more Access-like, easy-to-use but not awesome as MySql. [07:13] tripelbb: you can use SQLite for a simple no-configuration database, SQLite stores the database in a file and doesn't require a server to be running. there's MySQL and Postgres SQL for more advanced features, but they require some more configuration and have tighter security features [07:15] tripelbb: I could. But I won't. I suggest that you use the usual Ubuntu information means to get an idea about both programs. If you have done this (your homework) I will be glad to answer your specific questions. [07:15] I can't find this package libgles2-mesa-dev in Lynx. [07:15] I tried downloading th .deb separately, but it has too many dependencies.

[07:20] otherwise you'd need to do some globbing (pattern matching) [07:20] .google ubuntu data base [07:20] * jmad980 prolly misread that anyways [07:21] aranel, adobe sucks has what to do with firefox crashing??

What should I look into? rsyncd? drdb? [07:26] ktwo: 'speed' is pretty relative, a function of your local network load, disk i/o load, throughput your disk can actually support, etc. [07:27] yea but see when i copy a file via ssh shell it is almost instantly it feels like only the command is being passed, but when i do this via the ubuntu gui it seems that the file is cached locally [07:27] in my sources list i have lb.ubuntu etc.... luxemburgish stuffs, can someone paste to me please the english version of it [07:29] ktwo, shouldn't no [07:30] it says.. preparing to copy.. and it takes a loong time and i even see a KB/s progress like 15KB/s [07:31] is it correct "sftp for " in the top status bar, or maybe is it using a wrong protocol? === Hiz is now known as Guest61795 [07:31] <[thor]> glaceman: i think it is the same only without the country code [07:32] thor can i have a source liste pasted please into paste bin so i can paste into my own [07:32] so i can change that lb.. i think it's en, or de [07:32] something liek that [07:33] ktwo: not sure, just going from memory, if you ask me nautilus is garbage, i suggest for any big file transfers, you become comfortable performing these jobs on the command line [07:33] <[thor]> glaceman: http://ubuntulady.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/the-ubuntu-sources-list-generator-is-now-available-for-maverick/ [07:33] desktop environments in general aren't linux's finest selling point...

[08:33] npviewer is a pain. I notice right away when it runs, because the GPU temp and CPU temps increases with 10 degrees and the fan goes like crazy (laptop). When I kill it the temps goes down again. Is there a way to prevent it from even starting? [08:33] mbvpixies78: is the win pc on you local subnet? [08:33] they serve SMB shares, so i wanna run software on ubuntu to incremental backup to the NAS [08:33] your* [08:33] bonjoyee: yes, I just started a second scan using its IP [08:34] bonjoyee: ports 135 and 139 open [08:34] how do u do bestbot?

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [08:35] hi all, how would i check the version of a package in the repos before installing it? [08:35] I wondered if anyone would be able to check if my ubuntu is screwing itself over.... [08:35] mbvpixies78: ok then try connecting directly..i mean specify the share name in the "connect to servers" window [08:35] Help! How do I prevent npviewer from starting up? [08:35] Jordan_U, yeah done, it asked me a confirmation and i gave Y it downloaded and completed [08:35] so now il try installing cinerella ? [08:36] bonjoyee: share name is just the name of the folder, right? [08:36] raviepic3: Yes. [08:36] brokendatapoint: apt-cache show packagename [08:36] Jordan_U, its already installed ! ! apt-get -f install installs the error packages ? [08:36] mbvpixies78: yes [08:36] Jordan_U, its already installed ! ! apt-get -f install installs the packages which were stopped due to errors ? ? [08:37] I've been having problems with...movies files opening. Thought it was vlc/Mplayer, so I was going to install the latest version which is supposedly available in Ubuntu 10.10. My ubuntu already claims to be 10.10, but the command update-manager -d tells me I should install 10.10...and a ton of package upgrades. [08:37] raviepic3: Yes.

[08:38] bonjoyee: dont think you need that..unless it asks for.. [08:38] Jordan_U, any specific reasons why it gave me error earlier ? [08:38] my girlfriend is hogging all the bandwidth [08:38] raviepic3: It did not install by force, it just grabbed the dependencies that were needed. [08:38] Ah, never mind. Just had do install flashblock i chrome to control when npviewer is starting. [08:38] whoa cool [08:38] mbvpixies78: i mean try without it first.. [08:38] skilz, get her on the wifi? or put a cap limit on what ever programs she's downloading with [08:38] Is there a way to get VLC to integrate into the Sound menu on Maverick like Rhythmbox? [08:38] Jordan_U, so how do i do it if i were has to install cinrealla without errors ? [08:38] raviepic3: There were packages which needed to be installed which were not avaialable to dpkg. dpkg on its own never downloads packages, apt does that. [08:39] When is hte next Ubuntu release coming out? [08:39] skilz: you don't need a technical solution to that, just talk to your gf and get her to download less stuff [08:39] Jordan_U, like the first time i want to install cinrella wwithout errors how do i do it ?

[08:39] raviepic3: Use "gdebi" instead of dpkg. [08:40] mbvpixies78: for a start..just enter the ip and the share name...nothing more [08:40] raviepic3: But there is actually nothing wrong with using dpkg, getting errors, then using "sudo apt-get -f install". === michael is now known as Guest11799 === Guest11799 is now known as Teggeh [08:40] !ask | col0ur [08:40] col0ur: 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).

[09:48] but when I click a file it opens up the app another time and opens it in there [09:48] Without specifying a special option badblocks performs a "read-only test". How can badblocks determine if a sector is bad if it performs a read-only test? [09:49] dealie? [09:49] juniour: so best it to have a common ntfs partition for both.. [09:49] bonjoyee any idea? [09:49] how to do that [09:49] bonjoyee, I can't find info on how to do that, so I tried mounting win in Ubuntu but got usage error [09:49] junior: different types of file systems .. windows uses ntfs and ubuntu uses ext4 [09:49] dmj726: i told you that' [09:49] dmj726: mabey creaye a .profile and reboot -- it may look in ~/bin/ [09:50] dealie = program/script/etc catchall like stuff [09:50] junior: http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ [09:50] dmj726: it may look in ~/bin/ === aum is now known as aum_ [09:50] Nutty-Natty but now a days i think ubuntu support nfts file system [09:50] dmj726: make a .profile in ~/bin [09:51] insmod: pointless [09:51] juniour: if your ubuntu is using ext3...then theres are drivers for that for windows,,,but i have never used it myself.. [09:51] bonjoyee, when listing a path to a mount point, do I put /// ? [09:51] insmod: user-profile has to be ~/.profile [09:51] juniour: you probably correct so look at that post from milamber [09:51] http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ [09:51] k thanks [09:51] a little Q: I have the possibility to run 64bit but as what i can see Ubuntu recomends 32Bit what is prefered? 32 or 64? [09:52] danny_: on windows do this: net use x: \\ip-of-ubuntu\\sharename [09:52] danny_: if that doesn't work ask ##windows [09:52] in windows i know they have to use 64 to use all memory above 3.2 gb or something is it similar in linux? [09:52] anyone got any reccomendations for a sidebar with combined twitter/google reader rss feed(and maybe other events)? [09:52] GuteX: it is [09:53] hmm cause i have 8 gb ram === aum_ is now known as aum [09:53] llutz_: in unix not ubuntu [09:53] GuteX: so use 64bit or 32bit + pae-kernel [09:53] insmod: ? [09:53] GuteX: if you know your architecture then you decide - the main problems with x64 are libraries but there are a few nifty little apps around to help with that ( I always run 64 bit if I can) [09:54] llutz_: ubuntu changed the $PATH [09:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [09:54] oh thx then i'll go for 64bit for now [09:54] !pae [09:54] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [09:54] insmod: it just includes ~/bin if it exists. that won't affect the location of .profile/.bashrc [09:54] when I do a sudo apt-get install xfce4 It tells me "E: Couldn't find package xfce4"... It does not show up in Synaptic either. any ideas? [09:55] insmod: man bash (invokation) [09:55] GuteX: .. search for an app called getlibs and learn how to use it [09:55] thx Nutty-Natty :) [09:55] Ascavasaion: are you trying to get the x desktop? [09:55] llutz_: that's what i said if u listened -- add .profile -- not there by default [09:55] :) [09:55] milamber: Lighter desktop manager... Gnome is too heavy on resources. [09:56] insmod: you wrote dmj726: make a .profile in ~/bin and thats definetly wrong [09:56] Ascavasaion: xubuntu-desktop is the meta package you want then [09:56] Ascavasaion: then try lxde! [09:56] milamber: Thank you [09:56] bonjoyee: Will do hehe [09:56] Ascavasaion: try fluxbox [09:56] fluxbox windowmaker and xfce [09:57] insmod: no shell will read that .profile without patches [09:57] Ascavasaion: its even lighter...without sacrificing on the eye candy!;) [09:57] Thanks chaps, will do :) [09:57] you have to follw the hole conversation [09:57] Sigh... 95Mb of downloads now...

[10:53] mantise: I think it will still run gnome apps, when apps are installed it will install needed libs as needed [10:53] working on a FOSS press release, need an English word for a big, recurring event that people look out longingly for every x time [10:53] erUSUL, find need a lot of time [10:53] any suggestions? [10:53] classical_: locate * [10:53] hi dudes, how can I tell ubuntu to stop running a disk check every so often? [10:53] danny_: PlacesZ>Network>Windows Network does not work? Places>Connect to Server also does not work ? ( given that you created a shared folder in windows ) [10:53] sacarlson: hm, and if i dont want it to run gnome apps ? [10:53] :) [10:54] im installing xubuntu to get a lighter desktop :) [10:54] mantise: then just don't start them [10:54] think "high point of the year" [10:54] classical_: locate "/home/*filename*" ? [10:54] erUSUL, no, neither works. I enter password and it keeps prompting for password. Shares are set up on Windows and I can access them from another Win comp [10:54] mantise, what makes it lighter? im curious [10:55] erUSUL, es thats exactly what i need [10:55] thanks :)) [10:55] arunkumar413: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/coooder [10:55] Gunndawg: I never tryed it, just whats ive been told and been reading on the internet [10:55] GunnDawg: mantise: my guess is they won't run in compiz? I'm not sure what makes it smaller or lighter. [10:55] hi guys [10:55] milamber: may be that requires java [10:55] anyone got an idea [10:56] when i update my 10.10 [10:56] the sound stops working [10:56] how can I tell ubuntu to stop running fsck every so often? [10:56] arunkumar413: it's openoffice (iirc ooo is pretty crippled w/o java) [10:56] tune2fs [10:56] sacarlson: Am I wrong ? LDXE and LXfe lighter than KDE and Gnome ? [10:56] medfly: tune2fs [10:56] erUSUL, mount won't work or I'm using it improperly, the 2 methods you suggest treat my password as if its wrong and JFTP doesn't work either [10:56] insmod: Even when $PATH is only /usr/bin it doesn't work [10:56] medfly: man tune2fs; see the part about mounts between checks [10:57] sacarlson: ubuntu it self cant be all that "heavy" can it? I mean its more efficient than windows right ? [10:57] sacarlson: XFCE === Craig_Dem_ is now known as Craig_Dem [10:57] GunnDawg: it's not that straight a comparison, really. [10:58] how do you say "moment to look forward to" in English in one word?

But both are pretty fast. [10:58] Can I use synaptic to reinstall apt? [10:59] danny_: last option if it is a one off thing use filezilla ftp server in windows. Places>Connect to server in ubuntu [10:59] Ileden: oh i didnt know that, I am rather new, so ubuntu is the slowest distro ? [10:59] dmj726: synaptic is an apt-frontend, unlikely [10:59] hey all [10:59] GunnDawg: however, there are reasons why Windows and Ubuntu are slower than more faster OS'es - they are both multi-purpose, "install and forget" type of systems [10:59] llutz_: Any way to reinstall apt? [11:00] llutz_ I'm trying to figure out how to get apt-get install to work [11:00] dmj726: why would you do that? [11:00] i have just installed ubuntu on my vaio laptop but my touch pad doesnt work. However when i cooect my usb mouse it does. What should id o [11:00] dmj726: apt or apt-get (which also is just a frontend) [11:00] Ileden: good point, thanks for that info [11:00] If I do sudo /usr/bin/apt-get install xxxxx it works [11:01] when i start gparted doesnt show me the partitions only whole hard disk unallocated [11:01] but just sudo apt-get install xxxx doesn't [11:01] GunnDawg: on an older/slower computer, I'd myself use something like Xubuntu, which has a faster desktop system (xfce instead of gnome) but still carries most of the ease of use of ubuntu. [11:01] no* [11:01] which software can i use to make a screencast ? [11:01] which software can i use to make a screencast ?

If you don't want the hassle, just go with ubuntu. :) [11:02] popey, i used record my desktop right now, i recorded lenghty video and converted to .dat using mncoder, when i see the video and audio out of sync and more over theres is half the video missing [11:02] in between [11:02] dmj726: whats the error you get, when not using full path?

[11:03] raviepic3: dunno, it just works for me [11:03] dmj726: what is the output of "echo $PATH" [11:03] darksifer: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/linux.org [11:03] GunnDawg: I installed xubuntu on my netbook to get a bit of performance gain. On a generic laptop, I'd use ubuntu. Depends, of course, some people prefer to get the performance gain - I don't care that much myself. [11:03] dmj726: "sudo -i " and then "echo $PATH" [11:03] popey, omg how do you convert the .ogv file into .dat or .flv ? [11:03] my touch pad doesnt work!!!!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [11:04] GunnDawg: XFCE isn't as friendly or pretty, though.

[14:49] A_J: without knowing the couse of the problem is hard to know what to do [14:49] perhaps a failed deb installation [14:50] it had destabilized the system [14:50] A_J: that is highly unlikely. the failed install is almost certainly the result of the instability, not a cause.

Just had to remove a few extras [15:02] how can i do a memtest, i saw a menu when i booted some time back [15:02] A_J: and since you mention it, when exactly was the ram installed? [15:02] A_J: see it is also possible that the ram and your motherboard do not like each other. These things can be quick sensitive [15:02] A_J: it shoul be on your main grub men [15:03] how do i acess that ? [15:03] the grub menu [15:03] there's a key that you need to press with grub2... never remember it. [15:03] A_J: i take it you don't dual boot... just hit left shift when the machine starts booting. [15:03] is it possible to get scrollwheel emulation on a recent dell laptop's touch pad? [15:03] f10 ?

I have an iBook G3 that I am trying to put an operating system on. It has only 128 MB of RAM, so I need something lightweight; and the CD-ROM drive is giving me trouble.

[15:48] anyone got experience installing xbmc in legacy hardware?

[15:52] Just a quick question, if you an application that takes up too much resources (RAM, CPU), can it make the computer go into sleep mode automatically? [15:52] compdoc, I dont know how to connect that HD to my Dell [15:54] hey there [15:54] i cant join my wifi [15:54] turns out you can't make a usb booter of 10.04 using 10.10 usb-creator-gtk .. haven't found a solution yet [15:54] induz, a card and the cables are likely to be expensive [15:54] Median: no, unless you define thrashing as "sleep mode" :-) [15:54] xbmc help???? [15:55] pcypher: you might have better luck with a rather more precise question [15:55] sipior: Well, i'm running a Minecraft server if you know what that is, and i'm having a problem where the computer automatically goes into sleep mode or some shit and will require a restart to get working again. [15:55] It could either be a software or a hardware failure. [15:55] I'm hoping for a software one. [15:55] compdoc, can u suggest me the type of card and cable [15:56] So i'm just wondering if a memory leak or some shit can cause that sipior.

I see how to add a specific iso to fstab but not how to let it be done generally. Is there a good way to do this? [15:58] sipior: it appears so... looking around I found people suffering from a crash bug who also used this chipset... crashbug means they got it installed and working [15:58] i assume [15:58] compdoc, can u point to a picture/image on any website [15:59] Median: again, without actual performance data, there's not much point in speculating. are you out of ram, what is the average load of the machine, etc... [15:59] doesn't help. using radeon 4250 with proprietary ATI drivers, any suggestions? [15:59] sipior: With the server on?

[16:01] I don't know if it has gotten better now as i've recently switched server software, so will see if it's still happening. [16:01] multiplatinum: sorry, that should be "left click" not right click [16:01] KM0201, done that, it doesnt connect me [16:02] Median: start with just a simple inspection with free and top. iostat maybe, if it looks like i/o is the problem.

[16:05] will i lose themed / random longins if i upgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to 10.10 ? [16:06] just there as AMD is the original source of the 64bit instruction set, later copied by Intel [16:06] are you freaking kidding me that ubuntu can't connect to a hidden SSID? [16:06] rtdos, most likely yes... if you mean gdm themes [16:07] compdoc, I am looking for a USB connector to connect to this HD...or if I can make it a slave on SATA [16:07] induz, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrKLX-47rv4 [16:07] rtdos, the way gdm is themes has been completely ch anged [16:07] KM0201, if i use wcid, will that work? [16:07] induz, wont work [16:07] multiplatinum, what is your desktopmanager? [16:07] Nameless2, Gnome [16:07] multiplatinum: it might... but there really should be no need for wicd.. you really should be able to connect w/ network manager [16:07] coz_ have GDM themes been completely eliminated? [16:08] hmm, mine works fine with a hidden network [16:08] is IRC built into ubuntu, out of the box? if so, how do you use it? [16:08] rtdos, no not eliminaged but not really themeable as they were... [16:08] KM0201, wicd is better anyway right? [16:08] zachlr: use konversation [16:08] multiplatinum: define "better".. it does the exact same thing as nm-applet [16:08] rtdos, you can only use the themes available on the system.. [16:08] coz_ security risk? or just was because it was buggy? [16:08] zachlr: its already set up with freenode [16:09] more technical options? [16:09] rtdos, not sure why the change but I believe it is a permanent one [16:09] multiplatinum: if you can't connect w/ one... it's unlikely you'll connect the other. [16:09] rtdos, it takes a bit of getting used to [16:09] rtdos, so dont count on any fancy gdm themes [16:09] ok [16:09] sandyd, do you access it from the terminal? [16:09] Anyone? [16:09] zachlr: no, its a gui app [16:10] thanks, coz_ [16:10] multiplatinum, do you have control over the broadcaster? [16:10] sandyd, oh, okay, I didn't see it. It might not be shown in the menu by default. [16:10] aka network [16:10] coz_ no other way to change my wallpaper on my login screen? [16:10] What is the audio devices directory called in Ubuntu? I need to know to use my capture card. [16:10] Nameless2, yeah, I own this network lol, I set the SSID to be hidden and I allowed my PC to join it, so... [16:10] rtdos, no problem... yes you can change the wallpaper [16:10] thanks sandyd. [16:10] zachlr: it might not be installed by default btw. I havent used ubuntu for a year now... [16:10] multiplatform, lol, what security protection is on it? [16:10] multiplatinum: well log into the router, and set it to broadcast, and see if you can log in while its broadcasting... [16:11] rtdos, download this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/GDM-NEW-MAVERICK and read it [16:11] thanks, coz_ [16:11] KM0201, that works [16:11] rtdos, the wallpaper you want 'Must" be in the /usr/share/backgrounds however [16:11] multiplatinum: you mean you can connect to it when its broadcasting? [16:11] yeah [16:11] sandyd, maybe not. I'll try to figure something out. [16:11] i want it hidden though [16:11] so much for the other settings .... [16:11] multiplatinum: well then you're doing something wrong. [16:11] ok. thanks, coz_ === happyfac1 is now known as happyface [16:12] multiplatinum: leave the ssid broadcast on. you're causing yourself problems, and there is no security benefit in doing so. [16:12] dang [16:12] rtdos, when changing the gdm theme from that command ,,,it feels as though and works as though you are changing the entire system theme but that's not the case [16:12] multiplatinum: unless you consider keeping yourself out of your own network a security feature. [16:12] :D [16:12] lol :D [16:13] multiplatform: stupid question, I know, but you are connecting through "connect with hidden network"? [16:13] which gui for samba do you recommend?

[16:14] replace [16:14] This is frustrating. I keep asking the same question and no one has an answer. It would make me think that nobody knows the answer. But its such a SIMPLE question. [16:14] mrbluessbb: why can't you answer it, then? [16:14] barcef: what do you mean?.. it just monitors flooding, etc.. [16:15] Because apparently Im wrong. [16:15] A_J: yes. This is not something that I know a lot about (hardware that is) I just know that it happens. For example, there are specifications for your motherboard that should state the speed and other requirements for the memory [16:15] KM0201, I got this what is 2+4 thing and it would not let me in until I answered it or registered my nick [16:15] understood, coz_ [16:15] mrbluessbb: you might try just repeating the question every ten minutes or so, instead of the passive-aggressive whining. [16:15] Its not /dev/audio0 like all the all the ubuntu forums say. [16:15] rtdos, cool [16:15] lol Im sorry [16:15] barcef: yeah...?.. thast what its supposed to do... register your nick, and you'll never haev to do it again [16:16] I have been trying to get this to work for weeks now. [16:16] anyone know how to lock preferences in firefox 4? ive followed the guide, for ubuntu but it wont lock anything.. [16:16] mbeierl but it was workin fine for like 2day, why is it causing poblems now [16:16] 2days* [16:16] A_J: did the memtest show a problem? [16:17] compdoc, it says on the manual Interface ATA-6 (Max. Cable length: 18inches (0.46 m))(equipped with expansion function) [16:17] it's 5% done [16:17] it's gotta take time [16:17] mrbluessbb: sudo lshw [16:17] mrbluessb: and dont post the output here, pastebin it [16:17] mrbluessbb: Find the device listed there and it should have it's /dev/xxx location [16:18] mrbluessbb: Or pastebin it here and I can look for you. [16:18] A_J: yes, but to answer the question about why would it be fine for a while and then start causing problems... there are many possible reasons: 1) it heated up and now is a little loose - perhaps just wiggling it can make it better [16:18] induz, ata-6 is a standard for any drive, but the interface is way different than anything on a consumer drive [16:18] A_J: 2) you are using the computer more actively and there is a speed mis-match between the mobo and the ram and it is just now coming to be a problem [16:19] i checked tempratue it's cool, and there in tightly [16:20] A_J: what I mean is the temperature goes from room temp to active temp - could be "cool" but it still is above room (like 40-50 celcius ?) [16:20] yeah 45 degree [16:20] sorry Im new to using the terminal. [16:20] here is my board http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=PYvbfOokwxUzJky3 [16:21] A_J: but either way, I am guessing. I really do not know all the tricks to hardware. [16:21] I dont understand what pastebin is or what this wall of text is. [16:21] mbeierl can i repair ubuntu some how ? [16:21] i deleted the volume control button from the gnome panel... how do I get it back (its not in the default list)? [16:21] or a system restore [16:21] Have been just downloading a video. It downloaded 93% (via download them all - firefox). I restarted the computer and now cannot find it [16:21] codemagician: add the indicator to thee panel [16:22] codemagician try add applet > notifiations [16:22] or indicattor [16:22] How do I view what hidden processes UNHIDE found? No idea where to look. [16:22] is there a way to permanently disable the fast user switching applet ? [16:22] I guess it downloaded to a different directory, how can I find recend files [16:22] A_J: I don't think your installation is in need of repair. What you could try doing is to run from the live CD for a while and see if it displays the same behaviour [16:22] mrbluessbb: pastebin is a type of website where you can paste large quantities (or small) of text instead of pasting into the chat room and making it scroll everyone else's conversation past [16:22] mrbluessbb: Copy the text you gathered from the terminal and go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste it there, then give us the link. [16:23] mbeierl i'll do that then [16:23] A_J: so to check on memory compatibility - go to the specifications tab of the mobo and look under the Memory section: 2 x DIMM, max. 4GB, DDR2 667/533 MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory. Is that what you have for your computer? [16:23] mbeierl can i pm for a sec ? [16:23] mrbluessbb: If it would be easier, you can do this instead: sudo apt-get install curl [16:23] A_J, cool. it was indicator. thanks [16:23] A_J: sure. [16:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/561022/ [16:24] mrbluessbb: sudo lshw | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us [16:24] Ah, never mind then. :p [16:25] is there a way to permanently disable the fast user switching applet ? [16:26] Hello just curious but anyone know if a nvidia current drivers 270.18 support opengl higher then 1.4? [16:26] is there a way to install gnome on netbook remix 10.10 using only shell (there is an error about dependencies being broken) [16:27] mrbluessbb: Sorry, there's nothing that I can immediately see and I need to get back to work. If no one here has any advice, try making a forum post. [16:28] A_J, lots of ram requires that you set the voltage higher than normal - the voltage it needs is usually written on the sticker [16:28] uh [16:28] What does curl do exactly? [16:29] downloads from an url [16:29] mrbluessbb: You can ignore that, I was just trying to make it easier for you to paste that output. curl is a library for downloading/communicating with web servers from the command line. [16:29] people not able to play any flv or swf files in my firefox or chrome browsers all of sudden [16:29] any idea why ? [16:29] hey guys [16:29] Ok. [16:29] very urgent please help [16:29] Okay, so I am trying to add a start up program "Xchat" so I put Xchat in the name, and in the command I just put, Xchat? or could I put a pause -60 Xchat?

(in /dev/audio0) [17:07] NixGeek: Ok well I have the .iso on this machine (running xp) which is right next to the machine i'm trying to use Ubuntu on.

[17:11] djindy: yep, I completly wiped a harddrive with a bad fedora install disk and got everything back with testdisk. it's a great program [17:11] NixGeek: happy face, I am now seeing a menu when I held down Shift, GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100801-5ubuntu3 [17:11] g_0_0: I figured it out I just used iwconfig. One adapter is abgn and the other is just abg. I was trying to figure out which adapter was wlan0 and which was wlan1 [17:11] nixgeek, and it will work the same with an hfs+ filesystem? The wiki seemed less clear on that, which is why I ask? [17:12] epox: okay, grub installed and is working, i'm guesnning it says 2 ubuntu options (one with recovery mode beside it) and two memtest options, correct? [17:12] ComradeHaz`: from the default install, yes [17:12] ComradeHaz`: its still available in the repositories [17:12] Crazy, surely apt-get is essentially replaced by aptitude?! [17:12] NixGeek: exact [17:12] spoon: same lines at the end of strace? [17:12] ComradeHaz`: aptitude isent that popular these days. [17:13] NixGeek: I think I got a little bit ahead of myself and went ahead and select to run ubuntu in low graphic mode [17:13] ComradeHaz`: use what you like. Synaptic is also not installed by default any more [17:13] I was under the impression apt-get was essentially becoming deprecated in favour of aptitude? [17:13] @foka : you trying a manual install? [17:13] epox: use the recovery mode option for a root terminal [17:13] yes [17:13] hi, is it possible to programmatically get the title of a window in openbox-gnome in ubuntu? [17:13] did you make a root partition [17:13] ComradeHaz`: i rarely use apitude. rarely see guides/.tutorals that use it either [17:13] jrib: no [17:13] ComradeHaz`: nope, apt-get acquired the one thing aptitude had over it (removing stuff thats not depended upon) a few years ago [17:13] spoon: pastebin the last 20 or so lines?

So what's being deprecated? [17:14] ComradeHaz`: i mean, aptitude has other things apt-get doesnt, but theyre kinda obscure advanced-sysadmin stuff, like "aptitude why" [17:14] NixGeek: I can now select to run ubuntu in low graphic mode (for one session), to reconfigure graphic, to troubleshoot the error, to exit to console, or to restart X [17:14] jrib: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/330632/ [17:14] How can I make a root partition?

A simple question - from where does the patch who allows ubuntu kernels to use UUID to identify root devices come from? Is it a kernel patch or something related to the bootloader? [17:15] ComradeHaz`: when you need it, but thats not that frequently (well ok, i need it as a developer to track depenencies, but like...my brother wouldnt) [17:15] tx [17:15] ComradeHaz`, "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" FTW ;) [17:15] ZykoticK9: thats the same as apt-get upgrade [17:15] ZykoticK9: and aptitude full-upgrade is the same as apt-get dist-upgrade [17:15] ZykoticK9: they just renamed them [17:15] maco, do it isn't - not if you have a partial upgrade situation! [17:15] NixGeek: {[I appreciate the help]} -- Ok, I could use default (generic) config or create a new config for hardware... ?

[17:16] maco, s/do/no [17:16] maco: I need it because I run debian unstable :D [17:16] ZykoticK9: you mean the situations where apt-get succeeds and aptitude fails? [17:16] ZykoticK9: like...every time there's a new kde release... [17:16] maco, in "development" versions - apt-get will break your system, while safe-upgrade will not. FTW ;) [17:16] epox: lets go with create a new first, and then generic if it doesn't work. also, what is your graphics card? brand, model, etc [17:17] I actually just had that, apt-get dist-upgrade worked but aptitude full-upgrade had some dependancy issue. [17:17] (With ubuntu) [17:17] ZykoticK9: the breaking your system comes from removing things, same as using dist-upgrade. apt-get upgrade does partial upgrades [17:17] spoon: you can try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=773787 but I would backup the files they recommend deleting [17:17] NixGeek: Graphic card is a Nvidia MX 440 AGP [17:18] maco, so does that mean "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will NOT remove packages? seems strange. [17:18] ZykoticK9: aptitude used to call them upgrade and dist-upgrde just like apt-get even! afaict, they renamed it to stop confusing people who think apt-get dist-upgrade and do-release-upgrade are the same thing [17:18] NixGeek: Ok it's looping on me [17:18] spoon: hold on, check out: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=368898 [17:18] ZykoticK9: aptg-et dist-upgrade DOES remove them, just like aptitude dist-upgrade/aptitude full-upgrade [17:18] my file manager opens in vlc instead of dolphin. what can i do to fix it? [17:18] NixGeek: I select new config, hit Ok and it brings me right back to the same screen, same goes for selecting use generic. [17:19] ZykoticK9: apt-get upgrade and aptitude upgrad/safe-upgrde (same thing) will not [17:19] maco, ok - will i still see the need for safe-upgrade then? [17:19] ncfi1013: you mean when you double click on a folder? [17:19] ncfi1013: right clic on a folder> open with other> open folder [17:19] epox: i belive you have to restart for it to take effect, or restart x at least [17:19] at least on gnome, no idea on kde [17:19] ZykoticK9: upgrade == safe-upgrade and dist-upgrade == full-upgrade [17:20] NixGeek: Ok, ill get back to you!

[17:21] kde [17:21] maco, well i probably won't be running another ubuntu-devel version any time soon, so not really an issue for me. Although I bow to your technical knowledge, i'm still not convinced that apt-get full replaces aptitude in the Partial Upgrade situations...

[17:23] annyone [17:23] I don't can install midnight commander [17:23] ZykoticK9: apt-get dist-upgrade does add/remove packages, which is the same as what aptitude dist-upgrade and aptitude full-upgrade (same command, two names) does [17:23] I'm trying to use a web site with a java application that plays and records sound and I'm having some problems. [17:23] utente: any recent changes to disk partitions? [17:23] no [17:23] ZykoticK9: however, in some cases, aptitude's dependency resolution is wonky and it tries to remove 3/4 of your kde install if you try to install updates using it [17:23] Right now it seems that both playing and recording are muted and can't be un-muted. [17:24] maco, "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" actually installs packages, not just update apt database?! [17:24] jrib: i don't see apt.conf; only apt.conf.d and i can't find anything about cache there [17:24] ZykoticK9: it upgrades packages tha are already installed [17:24] utente: when was it last working? if ever.. [17:24] i saw aptitude once remove then reinstall like 200 packages on me once... [17:24] ZykoticK9: it does not add or remove packages though. i used the word "not" in that sentence up there ^ [17:24] spoon: apt-config dump | grep -i cache [17:24] So, what I'm looking for is a) a good reference site to test that sound (recording and playing) works in java and b) some guidance as to how to troubleshoot the problem. e.g., is this a common issue? [17:25] yesterday it worked [17:25] NixGeek: thanks for the help, its looking like, even though gparted can't see a partition map, I can still read all the data just fine without testdisk or anything. I'm just going to see if I can pull all the data off first just to be safe, but looks like things will be good whether testdisk helps or not.

[17:36] Sorry. CORRECTION: Does anyone know why when I double-click on my Samba Windows share on the desktop, an gEdit window shows up? Thanks! [17:36] Dr_Willis, yes, ubuntu iso it's 693 mb, i cant burn [17:36] utente: big? for a cd? [17:36] spoon: gnulib provides /usr/share/gnulib/lib/regex.c here [17:36] ncfi1013: your directory/folder typos is some how set to open with vlc. not the 'openfolder' or 'dolphin' [17:36] I'm trying to install GNU Screen after having changed the default python version back to 2.5.2.... and I'm getting an error message saying that I need to change the default to match... which is what I did. Here's what I've got: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/2341/ Can someone advise me on how to fix this? [17:36] spoon: but I don't even have gnulib installed [17:36] bonjoyee yes, i think because the are the wubi exe [17:36] utente: it fits on the rather standard 700mb cd's ive been seeing in stores for he last 5+ years [17:37] spoon: oops. misread your paste.

[17:38] is there any way to pipe the command-not-found messages into something like cowsay? [17:38] hi [17:38] hello ubuntuers [17:38] spoon: gnulib also provides regexec.c but it seems to be part of lots of things (like coretils, lots of stuff). Maybe it's part of apt? This is weird. [17:38] utente: what burning app are yu using? [17:38] ConstantineXVI: that would be.. weird. [17:38] cd burnerxp [17:38] for windows [17:38] utente: i would try a differnt app then.

[17:40] spoon: i'm googling "regexec.c: No such file or directory" [17:40] utente: isorecorder has always worked best for me, to burn ISO's. [17:40] oh rt..! [17:40] infrarecorder also works. [17:40] utente, CD burner Xp can burn the image no problem [17:41] utente: or just put it on a 1gb+ flash drive with unetbootin. [17:41] utente: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm gives specific instructions w/ ISO Recorder [17:41] utente, make sure you choose the option burn image [17:42] ok but now im burning knoppix, i need only a terminal to mount the ubuntu partition [17:43] utente: tiny core linux - could of done that. :) its a 10mb download.

Ran lspci and found the following info on the card: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3112 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 02) [18:19] I've read that SiI cards are supported in ubuntu, but no idea how to enable or configure (linux noob) - any help appreciated, ty [18:19] nobe question, before installing a package, how do you check if no files are confictant with existing files? [18:19] *conflictant [18:20] how do i get resolutions bigger than 1024x768 with an Intel 915 chipset and ubuntu 9.10 ? (the 915resolution tool can't be installed and the resolutions menu has only 3 resolutions in it) [18:21] matju: 915resolutions is no longer needed with the newer drivers. it should be listing all the resolutions the screen claims it can do. if you're sure the screen and video card can both do better, you can add more resolutions [18:21] i have another question . is there a preferred program for us linux users to convert and or split a video from its audio? i ask this because i downloaded songs off of youtube that i couldnt find anywhere else but i want to convert the flv file to mp3 if possible [18:21] !resolution | matju [18:21] matju: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [18:21] matju: see the section about adding modes [18:22] Sly_Coyote, if you want to dump the audio of a file you can use mplayer "mplayer -vo null -au pcm FILENAME" and you'll get a WAV of the audio [18:22] hi guys... my audio cuts off, after chatting on skype for maybe half an hour. after hat all audio is garbled, amarok can't play any music and my partner in the chat cannot hear me as well as i cannot hear him. a restart resolves the problem for another 30 minute or so... can i somehow get the same effects without restart? [18:23] Sly_Coyote, typo! "mplayer -vo null -ao pcm FILENAME" [18:23] hey all, i am installing from a minimal cd image. what gives me xorg and what i will need to launch X via startx command? [18:23] is there a way for mplayer to get the time of the movie in seconds thats playing and like important that command into a script which tells the computer to sleep after x seconds?? [18:24] skrite, just install whatever windows manager you want to use, and it will pull the Xorg dependencies [18:24] hi. how do you check if any files of a package you're installing are conflicting with any existing files?

I think you helped with it before. I just want something to automatically get the time of the requested movie so it isn't doing it at X time which I've already set [18:33] viktor133: apt will yell at you if you two packages conflict because they share files.

It will go away when it finishes playing [18:34] hello guys [18:34] where I can find a good and updated linux laptop compatibility list [18:34] ? [18:35] needlez: what is the "time of the movie"? Is it how long it is or how long its been playinig for or what? [18:35] jrib: its not that, and no it wont, it wont auto kick sleep after words thats why I created this script [18:35] jrib: downloading 3th party software, security program, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 [18:35] needlez: what do you mean "auto kick sleep"? [18:35] ActionParsnip: length of movie time... time of playing movie [18:35] who has a scan archive [18:35] erUSUL: cannot find it, but I may not be looking in the right place (super noob) [18:36] who has a scan archive [18:36] actionparsnip: so i download the package, then use --dry-run ?

[18:36] freelove: can you expand on that please [18:36] ActionParsnip: exactly [18:36] needlez: mplayer quits after the video ends [18:36] is anyone else having trouble adding MSN buddies to Pidgin or Empathy? #pidgin is dead [18:36] jrib: i know, it's really outdated software, but there isn't really an alternative [18:37] jrib: for me it doesnt [18:37] actionparsnip: i'll try that, thnks [18:37] needlez: you are using "mplayer /path/to/video"? [18:37] how van i do that the conky will always appear on my desktop?So if i start the comp i dnt have to write to the terminal [18:37] How come my version of Ubuntu Software center doesn't have the latest version of many applications? [18:37] so I've got two items in my Update Manager that won't let me select them for update [18:37] needlez: mencoder has an identify option you can get various bits of data out and store it in a variable, then sleep that long [18:37] hmmm, lotta new stuff to learn there to paste...

[18:38] jrib: the reason it wont exit for me is because the computer wont sleep even after the program closes. [18:38] Skyhooker: copy the text, go to http://pastie.org and paste the text then hit the big paste button, the address in the address bar will change, copy it and paste it here [18:38] Can anyone recommend a program to record video/audio of a particular window or section of the screen? I can't find anything that seems to work [18:38] needlez: you seem to be using "exit" and "close" differently. What's the difference? [18:38] Jrib:so I created a C program to do shutdown with out needing sudo. [18:38] Travis-42: recordmydesktop [18:39] needlez, how are you doing a shutdown w/o sudo? [18:39] thanks ActionParsnip, I'll check it out [18:39] Erm, Anyone? [18:39] how can i do that the conky will always appear on my desktop?So if i start the comp i dnt have to write to the terminal [18:39] trollboy: setUID with the Cwrapper I created [18:39] http://pastie.org/1518994 [18:39] try that [18:39] Arachon, are you sure they're the latest ubuntu versions? [18:39] needlez: mencoder -identify filename [18:40] trollboy: No, it's 10.4, but that's supposed to be LTS, right? === v-himanshu is now known as himanshu [18:40] Arachon, just because SoftwareX releases a new release, doesn't mean its been incorporated into the ubuntu package management system yet. [18:40] Skyhooker: you have now mastered pastebin, use that for outputs of more than 1 line :) [18:40] yay! :) [18:40] ty [18:40] trollboy: Oh, so I'd have to get the tarball manually then? [18:40] Arachon, ubuntu is not rolling release distro [18:40] ActionParsnip: ok, will it automatically get the length of any video I pick or do I have to modify it every time for each different movie?? [18:40] Arachon, SoftwareX might have just released version 10, but the ubuntu guys might have only updated to 9.9.8.0 [18:41] Arachon, only stabgle/ tested version in there software center [18:41] Arachon, correct, if you *need* the bleeding edge [18:41] needlez: I don't understand how that relates to my question [18:41] needlez: you can pass the file name as an arg to the script [18:41] Arachon, you can get latest version on your oen and install it [18:41] Arachon, what software is it, if I may ask [18:41] Yeah, it's just that the package manager is so much more convenient [18:41] Arachon, also see getdeb and playseb [18:41] trollboy: Rhythmbox [18:41] the latest version in ubuntu might have what you need [18:41] needlez: you can do what you asked originally, but I think it's not a good way to achieve what you want. [18:41] ah.. I don't use it/them myself [18:42] what's in the latest version that's not in the ubuntu one? [18:42] trollboy: iPod sync ability, and an option to do "replace all" in a copy dialog [18:42] instead of having to press "yes" 512 times [18:42] I *Believe* there were some plugins that did that automagically... [18:42] not sure ont he replace all [18:42] jrib: that was to the other question sorry... and the difference was it will stop playing the movie and the program will exit but the computer won't sleep because it thinks its still running. Sorry must not of explained that very well, thats why I created a program to do shutdown without need for sudo [18:43] ActionParsnip: ok thank you that should work [18:43] trollboy: Whatabout the Backports repo? [18:43] jrib, how can i do that the conky will always appear on my desktop?So if i start the comp i dnt have to write to the terminal [18:43] anyone see my question about un-updatable updates? [18:43] needlez: so you get a new prompt after the video finishes playing with "mplayer video", but mplayer is still running somehow? [18:43] !startup | BuMpIc [18:43] BuMpIc: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [18:44] Arachon, you can try that, you can also try the "unstable" repo as well, but YMMV [18:44] trollboy: Myeah [18:44] jrib, ty [18:44] BuMpIc, are you using ubuntu? [18:44] jrib: its more like it closes and even though I have it set to autosleep it wont autosleep after being closed [18:44] backports probably won't be what you want [18:44] needlez: so what do you do to make it autosleep? [18:44] so I created this script to do that, it would work with mplayer also, just I use totem more often [18:44] hi [18:44] hello, I've tried installing unbuntu and kubuntu in x86 and 64bit, it just loads to a screen and a pointer, that's it. Both text and gui mode installs does the same, one thing though is that I can select 'safe mode' and it loads that desktop up without networking...weird. [18:44] AbhijiT, ubuntu-based [18:45] erUSUL: not sure if you saw my post http://pastie.org/1518994 [18:45] how to install tar.bz2 on a linux (Ubuntu 10.10) machine [18:45] trollboy: How so? [18:45] AbhijiT, but i have the answer thanks [18:45] any idea why my middle mouse button paste doesn't work anymore since yesterday ? :( [18:45] backports is how you get SoftwareX Current version running on Ubuntu Old Ocellet (or whatever previous install you're running) [18:45] i did nothing particular [18:45] hi [18:45] BuMpIc, hmm [18:45] if the version of SoftwareX you want isn't in the current repo, its probably not going to be in backports [18:45] trollboy: That sounds exaclty like what I'm trying to do... SoftwareX is available for Maverick Meerkat, but not Lucid Lynx [18:45] backports is more about getting new software to run on old releases than it is about managing bleeding edge [18:45] jrib: correct autosleep after the movie over or at X time... X being set by myself already. And then created a C program to tell the computer to just shutdown without need for sudo, after the program closes [18:45] hi [18:45] Hi, I'm trying to export an mp3 from audacity, and need to find /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 -> does anyone know where I can find this file? [18:46] is Maverick stable/out yet? [18:46] Skyhooker: is the 500 GiB disk sdb? i've neer heard of SFS filesystem ... does the disk have any data in it? [18:46] jrib: this is what I have now... http://pastie.org/1518963 [18:46] jrib: I could replace totem with mplayer or anything and it should work [18:46] trollboy: Wait, you mean the entire OS version? [18:46] trollboy: Maverick was released on 2010/10/10 [18:46] oh.. looks like there is a package for that, how nice :) [18:46] whats a godo program for converting my grandmas cassettes to cd [18:46] good* [18:47] im trying to setup a very simple ubuntu box that just routes between 2 subnets... 2 nics on it one on each subnet the default gateway has a static route pointing to the ubuntu box for the 1 subnet.. the other subnet the ubuntu box is the default route... yes i cannot ping between subnets... iptables is not even installed and ip_forward is set to 1 any thoughts?

[18:47] hmmm, should've been NTFS - I added no data. I tried running gparted to repartition/reformat, but it didn't see the drive either [18:47] trollboy: Well, in any case, I think I've got some insight in how Ubuntu's repository system works, thanks :) [18:48] Arachon, no problem, sorry I couldn't be more help [18:48] Skyhooker: gparted does not see it ? try « gksudo gparted /dev/sdb » in a terminal [18:48] ok...

[19:10] ActionParsnip: how do i make it work after installing ... [19:11] wamicho: ok then run: lsmod and see if any of the modules look like they drive the modem, you can also run: sudo lshw | less and find the modem. You should also run: dmesg | less and read the boot to see what's going on, then compare it to the current install to see what's different. You may need to make notes [19:11] Administration/About Ubuntu says: You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012.

[19:16] Hi, when I boot my ubuntu system, after the grub loading , I get a series of messages like [syntax error] or [incorrect command]. The system boots just fine, but I was wondering how I go about investigating these errors and remedying them... I dont see any more information on what is causing the errors [19:16] markfletcher: read through: dmesg | less it may give clues [19:17] ActionParsnip: 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011 i686 [19:17] Thank you! [19:17] <[1]Smith> i am here [19:17] <[1]Smith> arrrghhh tell mw [19:17] <[1]Smith> *me [19:18] zacktu: thats a maverick kernel [19:18] !ask | [1]Smith [19:18] [1]Smith: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:18] [1]Smith, ask your question, clearly and coherently for all to see. [19:19] Hello. What alternative do I have for Ati / AMD proprietary video drivers ? [19:19] ActionParsnip, i cant find that startup manager:D [19:19] <[1]Smith> HOW DO I INSTALL TAR.BZ FILE ON LINUX [19:19] sisif: the open drivers which are part of the default OS [19:19] BuMpIc: ok [19:19] <[1]Smith> I HAVE UBUNTU 10.10 [19:19] [1]Smith: what is the filename [19:19] [1]Smith: kill the caps [19:19] <[1]Smith> its vlc [19:19] ActionParsnip, you are referring to the ones that ship default with the oS ? [19:19] [1]Smith, being rude will get you nowhere in life. [19:19] [1]Smith: vlc is in the repos [19:19] [1]Smith, you can install vlc from the repo's. [19:20] [1]Smith, sudo apt-get vlc [19:20] er [19:20] bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb/ [19:20] sorry [19:20] <[1]Smith> i am not rude guys [19:20] arrrghhh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:20] sudo apt-get install vlc [19:20] Action: it appears that everything is maverick except the message from System/Administration/About Ubuntu -- everything's as i expected, but i was still confused by the "About Ubuntu" message - thankx for helping me confirm that all is well [19:20] [1]Smith: use software centre and you can install vlc easily [19:21] <[1]Smith> okay like in sudo apt-get install vlc, how do i put location of tar.bz file [19:21] how do you set up a pdf printer? [19:21] [1]Smith: you dont need it, its worthless [19:21] !packages | [1]Smith [19:21] [1]Smith: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [19:21] lesshaste: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-pdf-documents-in-ubuntu.html [19:21] <[1]Smith> if my file is played any where, will linux find it [19:21] sorry I couldnt find anything in dmesg | less... I think this is happening before the kernel boots? [19:22] [1]Smith: yes [19:22] [1]Smith: Ubuntu uses "packages" instead of raw .tar.bz files [19:22] <[1]Smith> *placed [19:22] hello everyone [19:22] ActionParsnip: thanks [19:22] [1]Smith: yes, just like it doesnt matter in windows either [19:22] ActionParsnip it doesn't detect it [19:22] lesshaste: fastest link I ever got, did you not websearch ANY first before asking? [19:22] I need your help. I need ftp server with GUI on ubuntu. PUreFTP is only available from terminal? [19:22] ActionParsnip: of course I did [19:22] Which one would you recommend: using the ATI drivers in the repos or downloading from the amd.com website ? [19:22] wamicho: maybe there is a regression bug in the newer kernel [19:22] ActionParsnip: I got links from 2006 [19:23] ActionParsnip: hmm.. now I get Something wicked happened resolving 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) [19:23] [1]Smith: so you don't need to search and download the tar.bz file yourself. instead you can use the repositories to download the software (vlc or whatever) and have the guarantee that it is a version that works with your installed OS [19:23] ActionParsnip so what do i do ? [19:23] <[1]Smith> so i go to turminal and then just write sudo apt-get install "name-of-file" [19:23] lesshaste: I had to open a browser and search and it took 30 seconds to find that.... [19:23] wamicho: log a bug [19:23] <[1]Smith> it will get installed [19:23] [1]Smith: plus it makes sure if there are any dependencies, they are also found and downloaded [19:23] ActionParsnip: great :) [19:23] ok thanks [19:23] [1]Smith, Ubuntu Software Center is probably easier/friendlier for you. [19:23] [1]Smith: no, you type: sudo apt-get install vlc [19:23] [1]Smith, go to terminal and type - sudo apt-get install vlc [19:24] [1]Smith: yes. you can also use the Ubuntu Software Center to search and install [19:24] <[1]Smith> yeah i use it for most of apps [19:24] how can i delete frostwire ? [19:24] Anyone, does Maverick have default virus and malware protection? [19:24] [1]Smith: forget the file you manually downloaded, it is of absolutely ZERO value to you [19:24] <[1]Smith> but like some which are unavailable [19:24] i downloaded frostwire and hate it [19:24] !virus | intrader [19:24] intrader: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [19:24] Sly_Coyote: sudo apt-get purge frostwire [19:24] <[1]Smith> Why zero value [19:24] Beginners should probably stick with the software center. cli stuff can wait... [19:25] <[1]Smith> i think i will have to follow some linux book [19:25] [1]Smith, installing from the repo's means it'll stay up to date. [19:25] ActionParsnip, i actuallt disagree with that !virus .. myu friend got bored and made a virus [19:25] [1]Smith: because vlc is already in the repositorys waiting to be downloaded, the command I gave will install it and everything vlc needs to work, so the file you have isn't needed in any way shape or form [19:25] [1]Smith: because there is no way of knowing if it's going to be workable in your environment. if you use aptitiude search vlc you should find that it is pre-compiled and ready for you from the repositories [19:25] <[1]Smith> okay [19:25] VirusTB_: then you should change the factoid ;) [19:25] VirusTB_, anyone can write a virus, but can it proliferate? [19:25] ActionParsnip, thanks, I was just reading an article in the current InfoWeek about possible virus, botnets, malware in linux [19:26] mbeierl, aptitude was sadly removed in maverick... [19:26] <[1]Smith> thanks a lot guys for helping [19:26] [1]Smith: nearly all the software you will need is in the repositories, Windows expects you to know and hunt the web for useful stuff, Ubuntu has a centralized app for adding and removing software [19:26] intrader, gloom and doom, it's not true. [19:26] arrrghhh: it's actually still available, and it is what debian upstream still recommends. I'm not sure why they removed the default install of it from maverick [19:27] arrrghhh: its installable though, apt-get is still around and still great [19:27] ActionParsnip, when is the next ubuntu release..,.....?? [19:27] !info aptitude maverick [19:27] aptitude (source: aptitude): terminal-based package manager (terminal interface only). In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.3-2ubuntu4 (maverick), package size 2217 kB, installed size 6612 kB [19:27] [1]Smith: ever use the app store for Apple? [19:27] VirusTB_: April [19:27] i lost track of the 6 months..... [19:27] VirusTB_, 11.04 ... so its april [19:27] mbeierl, ActionParsnip of course you can still install it... but it was removed. i prefer it myself, i don't get it. [19:27] Gracias [19:27] arrrghhh: firefox is still the default browser too, go figure huh [19:27] VirusTB_, .04=april, .10=oct [19:27] mbierl - you beat me to the analogy (half-watching Warehouse 13) [19:28] ActionParsnip, not sure how to take that... [19:28] arrrghhh: same difference to your "I prefer aptitude" earlier [19:28] but it's time for me to eat lunch, so i'll take it lightly. cya guys. [19:28] eh [19:28] i do... [19:28] arashi256: cydia (the jailbroken app store) actually exposes the fact that it uses .deb repos too :) [19:28] arrrghhh: i prefer chromium, but firefox is default [19:29] mbeierl - heh :D [19:29] arrrghhh, thanks [19:30] I have an EEE PC with display problems. I haven't used an anti-virus, but probably should. Any suggestions? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 [19:30] define 'display problems' [19:31] fonts fuzzy, things like that [19:31] arashi256: fuzzy fonts, things like that [19:31] steve375: just as an aside, anti-virus won't do much for the fuzzy display... [19:31] steve375: shouldnt need av - have u tried ClamAv?? [19:31] I have KlamAv [19:32] can any1 help me please with disk idle ? [19:32] steve375: klamav is pretty decent, you should add the clamav ppa to get the newer engine and virus defs [19:32] mbeierl: What will help? Where do I look [19:32] if you go to system -> preferences -> appearance, what setting are your fonts on? [19:32] steve375: there is the ability to set the anti-aliasing for fonts in the System -> Peferences -> Apperances -> Fonts... [19:32] ActionParsnip: I think I set it up then it offers to print a test page. Do you have any idea where the file goes? [19:32] steve375: have u got the display drivers updated? [19:33] steve375: there's a section for Rendering that /might/ help [19:33] mbeierl: I will look into that. What does anti-alisaing do? [19:33] lesshaste: i believe its part of the printing steps [19:33] sounds like you may have 'monochrome' fonts set [19:33] anti-aliasing smooths the edges of fonts [19:33] I'm supposed to install 'glibc' on Jaunty. I've got this link : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/?C=M;O=A but I don't know which file to download. Help ?? [19:33] I think I have seen nvidia updated recently [19:33] i have issues runing mp4 video files on my computer anyone can helpme with that? [19:33] steve375: what arashi256 said - smooths out fonts - or might make them appear fuzzy [19:33] ActionParsnip: ~/PDF it seems [19:34] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | joe_happy [19:34] joe_happy: ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages for Ubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 42 (maverick), package size 5 kB, installed size 36 kB [19:34] joe_happy mp4 video will be played more reliably from vlc video player rather than mplayer - "sudo apt-get install vlc" [19:34] mbeierl: I haven't changed display specs, but it has changed [19:34] can anyone suggest to me a great VIDEO tutorials on Ubuntu?> like a podcast or some RSS feed? (*&#/ [19:34] thanks [19:35] steve375: I'm simply suggesting that changing the Rendering might help with the fuzzy fonts [19:35] Anyone in here good with ati proprietary drivers? [19:35] mbeierl: Yes, but why would have fonts become fuzzy if I haven't changed anything [19:35] ? [19:36] steve375 - change the setting and see if it fixes it and then you can worry about the why...? [19:36] steve375: update to the display driver to optimize, perhaps? It was merely a suggeston [19:36] ActionParsnip: ok last question.. :) I am printing using enscript.. any idea how to control the name of the pdf that is created? [19:36] I do appreciate the suggestions. Please don't think I'm being ungrateful [19:37] enscript -B -i 2 -f Courier8 --margins=26:18:18:18 test.txt is what I currently have [19:37] can't mount NFS, mount return "failed: RPC Error: Program not registered" , please help [19:37] rpc daemon not running on the host? [19:37] steve375: I don't have an eeepc, so I don't know what drivers, etc, or display settings it might use. [19:38] steve375: what model EEEPC? [19:38] Jenk: those are uncompiled source files. You want binaries to install. What does 'apt-cache search glibc' suggest? [19:38] lesshaste: not something I've used [19:38] meierl, I'm guessing it'll be a vanilla intel integrated thingie... [19:38] ok, I'm going to look into that and come back if I haven't found the answer ... a 1005HA [19:38] hello all [19:38] ActionParsnip: ok no probs. Thanks for your help in any case [19:38] ActionParsnip: 1005HA [19:38] brb [19:39] woulda helped if he'd...you know....checked the fonts setting and let us know...

[19:48] Ascavasaion: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root. You cannot run that command with an active x running as far as I remember [19:48] ActionParsnip, Or activate root from boot recovery? [19:48] xangua: its normal for packages to hit the repository as they finish building, which means if upstart finished before libc6, the upstart package gets held back [19:48] ActionParsnip, Thank you :) [19:49] tell that no madstein maco , i already know ;) [19:49] eh!

[20:07] Jenk: compile it again, so it looks in the correct places; or provide symlinks so it finds the libraries at the "wrong" places [20:08] DThought, Also I found this update/patch(I think) for glibc. Link: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/glibc_2.7-10ubuntu8.diff.gz How do I use it ? [20:08] If it's any help to any of you good people... installing alsaplayer-esd fixed *.wav files being played & Alerted on new mail in Thunderbird 3.1.7 on ubuntu 10.10..... However, it still will not play the 'Default system sound for new mail'.... but at least it gives some sound alert ;-) [20:08] Hi guys, my Ubuntu installation is broken after installing updates this morning. I set the computer to shutdown after 3 hours. I'm pretty sure this was enough time for updates to install. Now, it just boots memtest. I am running a liveUSB session now. Can anyone advise me as to how I should fix this? First problem is that my root/boot drive is a RAID1 array and I've yet to assemble that array and get into it. [20:08] Jenk: 2.11 is a lot newert than 2.7 ? [20:08] ciao === nick is now known as Guest49520 [20:09] DThought, Yes, it is newer. But I don't mind the older cause it's all I've got. I [20:09] ActionParsnip, it saids interface doesn't support scanning [20:09] Jenk: but the programm you're trying to run explicitly need 2.11 ? [20:09] DThought, How do I use the 'symlink' thingy ? [20:09] (thats what the error message says) [20:10] ActionParsnip, on wicd network manager i can see networks available and when i try to log in it saids bad password even though i know its correct [20:10] (ln -s -- ln --help shows the full syntax.... but i wouldn't fidlle at libraries when you're not sure what you are doing...) [20:10] dizital: ok then run: sudo lshw -C network; lsusb one line will identify the device (be it the product line in the lshw output or the 8 character hex ID in the lsusb portion), you can then find guides based on the output [20:11] DThought, Yes, but how do I get 2.11 ? I'm using Jaunty. Is there a way to compile that package ? [20:11] dizital: ahh, ok. what encryption do you use (if any)/ [20:11] hi === root is now known as Guest42300 [20:12] i need help [20:12] im using wpa2 on my router [20:12] plz [20:12] dizital: try with WEP to test [20:12] If I'm looking to administer my box headlessly via a GUI, what is there to use? Webmin seems to be the only web GUI. The box is LAN only so security isn't an issue. [20:12] !ebox | Enverex [20:12] Enverex: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [20:12] Guest42300: yes you do, running an IRC client as root is massively foolhardy [20:12] jrib: ping [20:12] ActionParsnip: k [20:12] Guest42300, ask your question [20:13] spoon: good timing [20:13] jrib, I saw that, but when I checked their official site, it's advertised as a distro and the only download was an ISO... [20:13] Jenk: get the source, install it parallel. Try to download the glibc 2.11 from a different version. But beware, libc6 is a integral part, messing with it might make a lot go wrong (it might require a newer kernel version, e.g.) [20:13] Enverex: ebox is in ubuntu's repositories [20:13] jrib: it seems as there's something wrong with libhtml-clean-perl [20:13] jrib: but that's all i can figure out [20:14] jrib: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/330745/ [20:14] DThought, Yes. can you explain 'installing in parallel' ? [20:14] i am having issues installing 10.10 on a laptop from a usb drive....im at the preparing to install screen and it seems to hang there. i have tried using both 32 bit and 64 bit installs with the same problem [20:15] whisperkiller: probably gonna need the alt. cd... you've probably got some oddball piece of hardware that is not co-operating w/ the live cd... it happens [20:15] ActionParsnip: still got bad password when try connecting to it, but it shows on ifconfig now [20:15] jenk install the newer libc6 in /usr/local/lib e.g. ... - or - even better - don't let the installer make a symlink to libc6.so, so that libc6.so stays the original version [20:15] it boots into the live os from the usb so i cant see the usb being the problem [20:15] whisperkiller: it happens.. [20:15] so try the alt cd and see if that solves the issue [20:15] Jenk: and no, what you're trying to do is pretty special, i don't know off the top of my mind how to do that - i had to research myself [20:16] does anyone happen to know how to get enscript to specify the output filename when printing to a cups pdf printer... [20:16] is there a way to try it using the current cd from terminal perhaps? [20:16] DThought, Thanx a million ! May your tribe increase ! [20:16] hey, im having a hard time running apt-get install php5-mcrypt [20:16] or is best practice to just use alt cd as suggested [20:16] hey all, i don't have the apt-add-repository command, how do i get that? [20:16] says 404.. how do i change mirror [20:17] skrite: it's add-apt-repository [20:17] xangua: right, sorry. add-apt-repository, is missing from my minimal ubuntu install [20:17] kt8 sounds like you are using a no longer suported ubuntu [20:18] also should i use x64 or 32 bit install? [20:18] xangua: word.. 2.6.24-19-xen [20:19] spoon: seems like it's using regexec somewhere to get some info about the libhtml-clean-perl package. And somethings wrong with "somewhere".

[20:25] hacfed: hold shift at boot then select the kernel. Does it boot ok [20:26] Anon7-2521: why didn't you mention that earlier? [20:26] Sorry. [20:26] ActionParsnip, I am on the system in question. Let me log in here with the netbook and try that. Thank you. [20:27] Anon7-2521: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Maverick I assume Maverick as you have also not given the release you are using [20:27] I'm about to check. One moment please. [20:28] Anon7-2521: in future can you give as MANY details as you can rather than people having to milk them from you or guess [20:28] That ebox package is nasty, it's just pretty much hosed my box. Excellent. [20:28] Yes, I apologize. I didn't realize it was a Macbook issue. [20:30] I'm not sure if it is Maverick or now. How would I check that? [20:30] ActionParsnip, booted up okay. Seems I can fix this. Thank the gods! Thank you! :) [20:30] !release | Anon7-2521 [20:30] Anon7-2521: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years.

[20:30] Anon7-2521: you can run: lsb_release -a to check [20:30] duairc: watch the swears please [20:31] ActionParsnip, any ideas why grub would stick in a memtest cycle? This is after today's updates.. I wasn't here to see what happened next. I just found I was greeted by memtest. [20:31] duairc: most just need switching using usb mode switch [20:31] hacfed: check in /etc/default/grub to see what the default is set to [20:32] I'm using 10.04 Lucid. [20:32] ActionParsnip, shouldn't have changed, but worth a look. I know of the usual suspects to check. Planning a fresh install anyway; so long as I can save my home and /etc I'm happy. Hmm, memtest again... [20:32] is there some1 who use SmokePing? [20:32] * hotrod is away: Gone away for now [20:33] !away > hotrod [20:33] hotrod, please see my private message [20:33] ActionParsnip: I know. I mean I have that much working, it just refuses to actually connect to the GSM network. It also crashed the whole system at one point. I know that's unrelated to it pretending to be a CD, but I want to get a different one that will definitely be completely painless. [20:35] What is /dev/video1? Not specifically but generally what kind of file is it? [20:36] Anon7-2521: then change the link to lucid and you'll find your guide [20:36] I got it, but it's really no help. Thanks anyway. [20:36] hi, anyone here? [20:36] No. [20:37] ActionParsnip: I get command not found for that [20:37] duairc: most appear as USB memory sticks and install the driver in Windows, you will need to use the mode switcher to make it be a modem and it will work without further confg. If you buy an earlier one then it willmore than likely just work, I'd check www.ubuntuhcl.org [20:37] lol, ive just opened a cider and installed ubuntu for the first time in my life. I googled for best irc-client and found xchat.. but i have not found the user-list in xchat yet :-) [20:37] spoon: hmm, really pkgcache.bin seems like it would be the cause the more I read about it [20:38] ActionParsnip, yes, the default was changed. As a result of Canonical updates. Just a fluke, for me, or a bug? Hmm. [20:38] Anyone? [20:38] dizital: rfkill list is in a default install [20:38] hi guys.. I have a problem.. I updated a machine form lucid to maverick and now nautilus segfaults in ld-2.12.2.so according to dmesg.. nautilus opens like 100times in the taskbar... can't open file manager.. can't start empathy etc.. [20:39] hacfed: sounds like a fluke, after you change the file you will need to run: sudo update-grub to apply it [20:39] devhell: does it happen for all users? [20:39] ActionParsnip: yes... I even added a new user just to make sure.. [20:39] ActionParsnip: I'm using backtrack but cant seem to get much help from them, and i know its based off of linux thats why i was asking here [20:39] hacfed: Updates shouldn't be changing the default in /etc/default/grub. What exactly was it set to? [20:40] devhell: good, its good to have a blank user handy to test stuff [20:40] dizital: backtrack isnt supported here [20:40] jrib: no, it's showing up as generic ps/2 mouse. [20:40] hacfed: (the literal value in /etc/default/grub) [20:40] kermit: don't know then [20:40] dizital: backtrack has it's own forum and support channel [20:41] ActionParsnip: I tried old kernels, new kernels (from natty) tried old libc6, new libc6.. gvfs, nautilus.. nothing.. it stays the same.. [20:41] hola alguien que hable españo ? [20:41] devhell: not sure then, sounds like a bug [20:41] !es | d3 [20:41] d3: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[20:43] Sly_Coyote: try: wine /path/to/setup.exe [20:43] ActionParsnip, Jordan_U, well I ran the GUI Startup Manager. It was set to memtest86+ (not the serial console option). My default is the 2.6.35-24 generic-pae with some extra kernel parameters of my own addition. The only system config changes prior to the issue were Ubuntu updates. No 3rd party repositories selected. [20:43] Sly_Coyote: I think you have to just use wine from the terminal, "wine /media/cdrom/path/to/exe" should not require a change in permissions. [20:43] --xeon-- [20:43] how do I install libgtk? [20:44] ActionParsnip, Jordan_U, do you think this is a fluke or a bug? Perhaps custom menu entries are affected by the latest updates? === d3 is now known as Danuk-men [20:44] hacfed: What was the literal value of GRUB_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub? If it was a number then you should file a bug report against Startup Manager. [20:44] which bash command is able to tokenise things? i saw something a while back which could take something which is ; delimined and put each deliminitee on a seperate line, for use with grep [20:44] e.g. a : seperated path [20:45] Jordan_U, yes it was set to '8' [20:45] i got a problem, everytime i connect to vncserver with tightvnc i just get a textured grey screen, i've checked my settings in /home/narita/.vnc/xstartup and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc i can put them both into pastebin if necessary [20:45] skilz: libgtk2.0-0 is probably what you need to install to get it [20:45] species: you can do « something | tr ';' '\n' | grep ... » [20:45] ahh its tr is it [20:45] hacfed: never seen it myself, sounds like you changed it but easy enough to fix [20:46] Jordan_U, filing a bug report now.. though I'm not sure which update (version) caused the issue. I can tell you I downloaded and installed updates at 0830GMT today 1st Feb. 24hrs since last update.

Anyone thinks they can help? === mike is now known as Guest67377 [20:48] Anon7-2521: change the link I gave to read Lucid rather than Maverick and follow [20:48] I can connect from Windows 7 to one Ubuntu box but not the other. What files should I check to compare and fix this? [20:48] I did [20:48] Jordan_U, yes I believe there was a kernel update in the list this morning. I didn't pay much attention as I was heading to work but your explanation fits the bill perfectly. [20:48] ActionParsnip, thank you :) [20:48] ActionParsnip: I've been up and down that. [20:49] PeterPorty: i have to ask... are you sure the wireless access point is up? [20:49] Anon7-2521: remember, the hardware is geared towards Apple's OS so you will get a tonne of weirdness [20:49] PeterPorty: i.e. can another machine see it [20:49] Hello guys. HUGE problems with videocard (yeah, ATI) here. Just installed 10.04 x64 and no matter which driver I use (open source or proprietary ATI/AMD).

[20:49] Yes, species. [20:49] hi im trying to install warcraft 3 from a disc and wine wont open it directly because i cant permit the disc to be executable does anyone know a terminal code to bypass this problem? [20:49] sisif: if you form an xorg.conf file you may get better performance [20:49] ActionParsnip: I know. I'm always having problems with the built-in iSight. It's supposed to work out of the box, but it doesn't. Everytime I shut off the computer. I have install the isight firmware, then reboot, then uninstall it and reboot again. [20:49] Ican see it too, I select it, it asks for the password and then it just hangs there spinning. [20:50] no [20:50] Sly_Coyote: have you seen the entry for the game in the appdb? [20:50] wc3 is supported by wine for sure ActionParsnip [20:50] actionparsnip explain appdb? [20:50] ActionParsnip, as far as I read on the great WWW, ati drivers now uses DKMS, which made any xorg.conf pretty much useless. Or am I wrong ? [20:50] !appdb | Sly_Coyote [20:50] Sly_Coyote: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [20:51] species: I can see it too, I select it, it asks for the password and then it just hangs there spinning.

[20:51] species: yes, this one, and it's running windows XP [20:51] greenIT: sure but the appdb will show the little nuances to make it work,won't it [20:51] The other one is Ubuntu 10.10 [20:51] ActionParsnip, I see. Do you recommend any HowTo on how / what to set up for my card? [20:51] ActionParsnip, true^^ [20:52] greenIT: thank you [20:52] Any ideas? [20:52] how can i install a restrained package? [20:52] ActionParsnip, and speaking of: which of the two drivers would you recommend ? I`m more into stability rather thne 3D performance. [20:52] sisif: if you run: lspci | grep -i vga you can websearch the output with relation to xorg.conf to se what you find [20:52] besides smb.conf, where else can I look to ensure ubuntu will be accessible to other computers? [20:53] sisif: i don't use ATi video chips due to amazing support by nvidia === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [20:53] ActionParsnip, touche :D [20:53] mbvpixies78: if it can be pinged it is 'accessible' [20:53] mbvpixies78: you should check if the samba services are running, check if no firwall settings block the access, ... [20:54] What kind of files are /dev/audio0 and /dev/video0? [20:54] mbvpixies78: if you run: smbtree you will see the shares on all systems in the network :) [20:54] mbvpixies78: start with checking if the ervices listen on the dedicated ports [20:54] mrblue_ char devices [20:55] mrblue_: if you run: file /dev/audio0 you will be told [20:55] /dev/audio0 doesnt exist [20:55] mrblue_: then they are non-existant files then [20:55] I was trying to figure out my problem by asking what kind of file they were [20:56] schnuffle: I stopped and restarted smbd and nmbd so it's running [20:56] Im trying to get this capture card working and I have a /dev/video0 and video1 but no audio file. [20:56] mrblue_: the files in /dev/ relate to the hardware in your system as well as other constructs [20:57] mbvpixies78: so what happens if you run smbtree while checking the samba logs? [20:57] ActionParsnip: smbtree shows all the shares, but only lists host name of Win computer and not its shares [20:57] So what am I supposed to do if Im missing one of these files? [20:57] schnufle: how do I check if the services listen on dedicated ports? [20:58] mbvpixies78: is the windows system a windows7 OS? [20:58] mrblue_: is the capture card usb or pci? [20:58] schnuffle: I'm looking for the logs, will see in a sec [20:58] usb [20:59] ActionParsnip, yeah and I hear that causes problems [20:59] mbvpixies78: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/ read ALL of that [20:59] Hey all. Are you allowed to ask questions here, you cannot really find/understand from searching the net?

[21:43] hello, i've just install openssh-server in ubuntu server 10.10, but ssh is not running automatically on startup [21:43] Have you guys heard about this new command Freenode just launched? It's very useful. They've compiled a list of all known trolls on Freenode, and added a command to allow you to easily block them with a single command. I'm using it right now. To activate it, just type in "/quit listening to trolls" and hit enter. A notification will pop up telling you how many people you're now ignoring, and how to disable the filter. Enjoy. [21:43] Tomato also of note, source packages have to be enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list probably reccomanded to be done in the gui pacakge manager [21:44] Tomato, mine (10.04) seems to be called "glibc-2.10-1" [21:44] i had a problem when i refreshed my os 10.04 to 10.10. the problem is that when i turn on my computer and choose the new version, the screen remained black while my system go on, i know it because i hear the sounds of passwordcheck. With 10.04 my laptop works great. What can be the problem? thanks in advance [21:44] KirkMcDonald: ok, doing that now [21:44] Agent_bob didn't know I'll do that ;) [21:45] nep0x You might have the same problem as me, does your screen go completly bank?

Anybody see this when trying to boot from 10.10 disc? http://pastie.org/1519613 This is a kubuntu disc [21:47] Agent_bob: Is there any browser alternatives without that combo for Ubuntu? [21:47] guys? any help to run ssh as a daemon during startup? [21:47] christoz: if you have openssh-server installed it will do this automatically [21:47] nep0x Is it a notebook computer? Sony VAIO notebooks have some type of issue with the screen [21:47] well, it failed [21:47] SlimG i like konqueror "part of the KDE experance" [21:47] KirkMcDonald: easier solution btw, i re-binded them to F5 and F6, the only function keys that aren't already occuppied by OSX window management shortcuts, now they're just like page up and down keys [21:47] Spaz: what does samba do? [21:47] aeon-ltd: Neat. [21:48] christoz, have you deactivated it manually? usually its started during startup after installation of openssh-server [21:48] Spaz no its a packard bell [21:48] KirkMcDonald: thanks for your help [21:48] Tempus_Fugit It simply enables your linux computer to share files with windows computers over the same network [21:48] what is the command to view others on the same network so i can get the user info [21:48] SlimG: I liked the idea behind Konqueror, it was great, but it had a horrible rendering engine and was very buggy, I haven't tried it for a while now, is it using webkit by default now? [21:48] nope, i've install the openssh-server, i've rebooted, tryied to test it via remote system but not working [21:48] Agent_bob: ^^ [21:49] Tempus_Fugit: Samba is the Windows file sharing for Linux, more or less. [21:49] SlimG and yes there are others. elinks links2 epiphany-browser - Intuitive web browser - dummy package [21:49] christoz: what is the error you're getting? and what is the command you're using to connecdt? [21:49] SlimG and others [21:49] i'm trying to connect via putty [21:50] Agent_bob: My point is that all browsers are now better than fireslow, even the smaller browsers with webkit engines outperform fireslow by a longshot [21:50] i bought it four months ago and i rembered that i tried to install the release 10.10 and i had the same problem. Now its showing a message that i cant read because it dissapears very fast,can i recover it in some way? it helps a lot [21:50] if i launch it manually there is no problem, the failure of mine is to make it start automatically [21:51] *sigh* ive lost a window and i cant find it.. [21:51] christoz, check "sudo service ssh status" output [21:51] christoz: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [21:51] nemetos_: alt+tab [21:51] sling: doesn't show :/ [21:51] ubuntu server 10.10 it's an appliance actually [21:51] Hmm, I use my server as a personal mail server and it got listed here: http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=109.225.68.246&.submit=Lookup So it seems I have a mail spam malware thingy or something installed on my system. I am using ubuntu 10.10. Where can I start to find out what might be causing this? [21:52] SlimG, I can hear it though, its a firefox/youtube window :) [21:52] christoz: ubuntu server has openssh-server installed by default [21:52] hey guys i have two questions to ask. first off my computer is dual boot 10.10 and win xp. my hdd is partitioned with a 20gig part for ubuntu a 20 gig part for xp and the remaining 280gig as a fat shared storage for multi media. if i wanted to run win in virtual box instead can i resize my ubuntu part to be the whole 320, move my media into the ext4 ubuntu partition and remove the win xp part without having to clean install ubuntu? [21:52] nemetos_: $ killall firefox [21:52] SlimG personally epiphany is nice. as is galeon [21:53] second question is with win xp running in a virtual box will it be able to access the media in my ubuntu ext4 system? [21:53] SlimG, thanks [21:53] chaos2358: yes, use a gparted liveCD,, but you will have to backup the files on the 280gig fat partition as when you put a filesystem on the partition it will get wiped [21:54] any suggestions on getting conky to play nicely? Tried to uninstall conky..tells me invalid operation..(thought about reinstalling)..when trying to start I get the library error..so im guessing have to manually upgrade the lib bc apt-get doesnt recognize it.. [21:54] chaos2358: and yes to the 2nd question too. [21:55] !conky | jimisrvrox [21:55] !conky [21:55] jimisrvrox: how did you try to uninstall it? sudo apt-get remove conky ? there is also a #conky channel [21:56] bastidrazor, ok how about this. when i am resizing and reformatting can i only format the "free space" on the fat partition and then once done move the media from the unformated part to the newlly expanded ext4. then continue resizing and formatting? "so as not to have to go buy a new external hdd [21:56] jimisrvrox: Did not work, did you try the recovery console? [21:56] bastidrazor: well the issue here is the conky: symbol lookup error: conky: undefined symbol: imlib_context_set_display error..so somebody said ok well either compile conky or update your lib.. [21:57] any libvirt people here? [21:57] chaos2358: that will take serveral rounds of partitioning but if you have the free space it can be done. with that much moving around you're likely to run into some issue along the way. [21:57] jimisrvrox: those in #conky said that? they would know the proper fix. [21:57] bastidrazor: no somebody else told me about that.. [21:58] jimisrvrox: ask in #conky [21:58] SlimG at any rate, there is just something nastalgic about having the bloated'est browser on the market ;/ [21:59] I can't get the 10.10 live cd to boot... http://pastie.org/1519613 [21:59] bastidrazor. ok last question. when i set up the dual boot. the installation of windows ate up my grub and i had to do something " i'm not sure what, the guy helping wouldn't explain just gave me the steps" so that it would boot up. will i have to do that again when removing the win os and just expanding the ubuntu part? [21:59] JuJuBee: Try burning to a DVD. [21:59] jinatonik: why is that? [21:59] Agent_bob: Seems like that might be the case :P [21:59] JuJuBee: I had that same problem until I burned it on a DVD. [22:00] burn the CD iso to dvd or download the dvd iso? [22:00] Burn the CD ISO to a DVD. [22:00] OK, i will give it a try. [22:00] chaos2358: it should be fine, if you do run into grub issues look here:: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub that page will tell yout he fix required [22:00] alrigt bastidrazor the other issue I am having is that because of the way my terminal is setup I am not getting the wrapping to correctly work..my colums are 80 but when I type out a long line it overwrites instead of wrapping.. [22:00] I can't help but feel embarassed over the desktop developers at Canonical [22:00] JuJuBee: My friend also had the same problem, and it fixed it for him too. Good luck! [22:00] bastidrazor, ok thank you so much for your help. and wish me luck. [22:01] bastidrazor: thank you for your time mate [22:01] chaos2358: yeah, you're going to need it. good luck :) [22:01] christoz: you're welcome. [22:02] jimisrvrox: gnome-terminal? [22:02] yeah either that or xterm or terminator all of them [22:02] jimisrvrox: that one i don't know. [22:03] i'm off to work. best of luck.

[22:11] wine utorrent :D [22:11] bbordwell: you will need that to revoke it, you can simply create a new one. IF the old one had an expiry date, then it will expire on its own. [22:12] azizLIGHTS, I left windows for a reason, why would I want to keep using windows software on a good os :) [22:12] lwizardl: I'm not sure how similar to utorrent it really is, but my current favorite is Deluge. [22:12] Jeruvy, alright i will just create a new one and hope the old expires :) [22:12] any irc client recomendations that looks good under gnome? empathy and irc just seems weird [22:12] bbordwell: make sure to backup your private keys somewhere safe :) [22:12] iob, xchat-gnome === flappin is now known as flappin[A] [22:14] * flappin[A] is now away - Reason : tired [22:14] KirkMcDonald, taking a look at it now [22:14] !away > flappin[A] [22:14] flappin[A], please see my private message [22:15] KirkMcDonald, close only think that looks to be missing is a stop torrent button [22:16] Ok, I'm using kubuntu, but I use a few Gnome apps (namely Evolution) and I need to configure some default apps for them.

[22:20] vcarney: yes [22:20] vcarney: talk to tonyyarusso in #ubuntu-offtopic. he has one he's very happy with [22:21] will the system76 support dual boot with windoze? [22:21] vcarney: i dont think they ship that, youd have to do it yourself [22:21] blaaah, found it. [22:21] vcarney: get a Ubuntu box and run Windoze in VirtualBox ... :) [22:22] vcarney the answer is yes [22:23] I have a password of three characters, but I can't change it to another password of three characters, because it's "too short". How can I bypass this restriction? (Security is not an issue) [22:24] Can somebody help me? I replaced a new install /home with a backed up /home, and now the system won't boot. Also replaced /etc/passwd and shadow and sudoers. It freezes at "Checking battery state... [ OK ]" [22:25] Tjololo12: The problem may be that you forgot /etc/group === nick is now known as Guest9926 [22:25] Tjololo12: I would start by booting a livecd, mounting the drive and checking/fixing your perms/users/groups [22:26] Jordan_U: I'll transfer that over. Nastjuid: I thought that, if I replaced my /etc/passwd, it would replace the perms/users/groups with the ones that I had before...OH but maybe it messed something up on the new install...hmm, I'll have to take a look. [22:27] Hello all, does anyone know why a disc would not unmount when I press the eject button on my optical drive? [22:28] Tjololo12: In the future, if you re-install and choose not to format /home/ it will set this all up automatically (you don't even need a separate /home parttiion). [22:28] Tjololo12: put back the passwd/shadow/sudoers files, rename /home/user folder to user you want, 'man usermod' and 'man useradd', never just replace sudoers file [22:28] I need to choose a password that is identical in qwerty and colemak [22:28] cya guys [22:28] will tar or compress, compress tar files ? [22:29] VCoolio: damnit....That's what I get for not backing up the things I replaced...OK I'll redo the install and restart from scratch. [22:29] wanderingi, can you rephrase that a little? [22:29] wanderingi: tar is very versatile. [22:29] s/damnit/dammit [22:29] hey guys when trying to load conky I get this: conky: symbol lookup error: conky: undefined symbol: imlib_context_set_display any suggestions for a fix? [22:29] if i have a tar file and i want to compress it do i use tar or compress ? [22:30] I'd use gzip [22:30] as I don't have a compress [22:31] wanderingi: you should use tar or gzip see: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/compress-dummy.1.html [22:31] ok thanks [22:32] mmmmm VMware and Ubuntu = SEXY! [22:33] I have updated the gltext.desktop file to tell the screensaver that I want -text "this is a test" and for whatever reason it does not seem to display this. It is as though I made no change. What am I missing. I did a search and checked that there is NO OTHER gltext.desktop file [22:36] hello [22:36] i have an ubuntu server [22:36] and today it informed me of a package update [22:36] package:upstart [22:37] but it fails to install due to packages error or depentencies [22:37] demetris: I have the same situation [22:37] you are? [22:37] thank god i thought it was my fault or something [22:37] Can anyone recommend a good wireless chipset for lucid? [22:37] does the Ubuntu Server have GUI or is it all text base? [22:37] itaylor57: you think it will be fixed? [22:38] CryonicCore: There is no GUI by default, but you can install one. [22:38] or we have to do something from our part? [22:38] CryonicCore: all text. it's a server. GUI just uses resources. [22:38] ok cus I am not good at text base systems but I want Ubuntu as my server [22:38] CryonicCore: You can install a gui package if you'd like, though. But most of your work will still be at the command line or through a web browser. [22:39] demetris: I am on a desktop, desktop manager won't let me install it [22:39] i see [22:39] whats the file name? [22:39] upstart [22:40] itaylor57: you have a server with a desktop manager? [22:40] ok cus i have event-based init daemon that wont let me select and install it [22:40] how do i expand the information from the top command to allow the full command to be seen? [22:41] wanderingi, you mean terminal is cutting off the top of the output? [22:41] yes [22:42] where should I get support for building gnome-shell for 10.10?> [22:42] Hi guys, I've a question. I've installed Compiz and it works like a charm. Then, I lost the permission to run compiz and the compizmanager (cssm). I can only start it now by typing sudo compiz in the terminal. Does someone know how to fix this? [22:42] wanderingi, edit>profiles>default (or the one you use)>scrolling>select how many lines to go back [22:42] systm, ah I believe there is a PPA [22:43] coz_ I think that that the PPA is outdated. it never works. [22:43] PH-MJS, sudo chmod 555 /usr/bin/compiz [22:43] PH-MJS: did you check the permissions of the binary? [22:43] PH-MJS, sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/compiz [22:43] PH-MJS, 755 would be better [22:43] edbian: ls -l /usr/bin/compiz first [22:43] er [22:43] PH-MJS, Gnea sure, look at it first, ls -l [22:43] PH-MJS: ls -l /usr/bin/compiz first, make sure you HAVE to make any changes to it [22:44] systm, have you thought of trying ubuntu 11.04? [22:44] systm, [22:44] systm gnome-shelll uses mutter ...11.04 uses compiz...mutter has been dropped for the netbook edition [22:44] Where does software (packages) ususally get installed? in what folder that is [22:44] Hey guys, Thanks for the info!!! It works again!! :D [22:44] systm, although it is testing [22:45] nemetos: well, software packages tend to contain a variety of files [22:45] anything I can do to circumvent the bug where 10.10 netinst won't install? The libc6 issue [22:45] nemetos: different folders, 'dpkg -L package' to find out [22:45] PH-MJS, no problem [22:45] Question for the Live USB - is there any way that I can set it up where it will retain drivers and packages? I need some proprietary drivers, and I'd like to add or upgrade some apps. [22:45] PH-MJS: cheers [22:45] nemetos, /usr/bin/ is where all the executable programs go [22:45] nemetos: dpkg-query -L package I mean [22:46] nemetos: /usr/lib is where the libraries go, /etc is for configuration files [22:46] !remaster | usbubuntu [22:46] usbubuntu: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [22:46] usbubuntu, if you use usb startup creator you should be able to select persistent storage [22:46] nemetos: and /usr/share/doc/ for documentation === k is now known as Guest83288 [22:46] bboardwell: Does that include drivers that you download? [22:46] (not that anyone reads it) [22:46] aeon-ltd: Thank you! I'll try that. [22:46] oh, ok - so its not just one folder in windows. Configuration files goes to one certain folder, exe-files to /bin/ etc? === Guest83288 is now known as k_ === CCensoredBiscuit is now known as CensoredBiscuit === k_ is now known as k89 [22:47] nemetos: right [22:47] nemetos: pretty much [22:47] nemetos, they go all over [22:47] usbubuntu, It should, it has been some time since I have used that option though....if nothing else you could install ubuntu to a flash drive...though that would require at least an 8gb drive [22:48] is that good or bad? As a java developer, i like stuff OO :) why is it a good idea to spread files? isnt hard to uninstall it later? [22:48] Does anyone know why a disc would not unmount when I press the eject button on my optical drive? [22:48] bboardwell: I see. I was under the impression persistant storage just saved things like /home. [22:48] nemetos: well, you tell us - it works, thousands and thousands of people use it and enjoy it :) [22:48] bboardwell: Thanks! [22:48] nemetos: not if you use a package manager to install stuff; if you install manually, then could be [22:48] coz_ how stable is it? [22:48] usbubuntu, sounds like something is still accessing it [22:49] sysop3, well I have been using it now for weeks ... [22:49] nemetos: There are a number of ways to install things outside of the package manager to make later uninstallation easier. [22:49] systm, although the current updates have broken nvidia driver but other than that its fine [22:49] coz_ well that works, my laptop is amd [22:49] @nemetos: download sources and try configure,make,make install [22:49] coz_: -- pardon? I'm asking about how to upgrade packages and install drivers on a flash drive install of Ubuntu. [22:49] systm, if you want to keep a running tab of natty 11.04 go to the #ubuntu+1 channel [22:49] nemetos: The tool I usually use for this purpose is called epkg. You can also just make your own .deb packages, using the package manager for your own stuff. [22:49] you can get stuff where you want [22:50] though it will be more difficult to do so [22:50] nemetos: you could centralize and install if you wanted to, but then you also have to deal with the consequences of that action [22:50] usbubuntu, sorry I didnt mean to ping you at all :) [22:50] nemetos: You can also just put each third party thing into its own /opt directory, which is sort of the classic Unix solution. [22:50] coz_: Ah, cool. [22:50] KirkMcDonald: epkg? [22:50] coz_ if I install the alpha, and update with update manager, will it be like installing it fresh when it fully releases? [22:50] systm, I would go to #ubuntu+1 channel and hang out...also see if anyone is using ati and having issues with the current updates? [22:51] Gnea: http://www.encap.org/epkg/ [22:51] is there any way to disable network scanning? [22:51] systm, if you download the daily build you might be better off [22:51] Gnea: I've heard that it is analogous to GNU stow, but I've never used stow, so I can't speak to that. [22:51] on 802.11 wireless? [22:51] systm, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [22:51] i really want to stop my wireless card from scanning from networks [22:51] wow, everything seems so.. much, does a regular user ever understand all the folders and what they do etc? [22:52] nemetos, it will becom easier as time goes by [22:52] nemetos: one day it will actually all make sense [22:52] nemetos, The file structure is based on purpose not application. It is more modular this way [22:53] nemetos: for a long time I felt the same way [22:53] Gnea: Basically it installs symlinks into /usr/local which point to the actual files, so each package gets to live in its own directory. [22:53] Gnea: It has the wonderful advantage of being very, very stupid. [22:53] xorwhy, iwconfig (device) down maybe? [22:53] * nemetos is btw happy for all answers! [22:53] nemetos, It's a good question! I never thought about it :) [22:54] xorwhy, just iwconfig will list your devices [22:54] hi all [22:54] bbordwell: i don't want to also disable all of its other features [22:54] anyone know how to make sshfs stop asking me for a password and use my id_dsa file? [22:54] bbordwell: i only want to disable wireless network scanning [22:54] hi I have an EEE PC with Eeebuntu on it, and I've managed to screw up the sources in "Software Sources". [22:54] Aikar: Use ssh-agent [22:54] i have installed zoneminder from synaptic but it is not installed in apache, anyone can suggest what i can do? [22:54] KirkMcDonald: its not trying to use a key is the problem [22:54] Hello. I have an id_rsa.pub and an id_dsa.pub key ... does that mean I can use EITHER key or is one of them configured? Where can I check which one is configured to be used? [22:54] Aikar: Does the remote end have the public key installed? [22:55] KirkMcDonald: so epkg doesn't make .deb files? [22:55] yes i can ssh to it fine [22:55] Gnea: Correct. [22:55] ssh dev is fine [22:55] sshfs dev:/blah /mnt/point asks for password [22:55] KirkMcDonald: doesn't sound in line with Ubuntu. [22:55] so, i Googled how to install Java: apt-get install open-jdk-bla bla bla.. So i installed that outside a package manager (Ubuntu Software Center) - does that mean i have no chance to uninstall that properly? (meaning it remembers what files went were?) - whats the best advice to install software? Via Ubuntu software or random like via apt-get? [22:55] nemetos, [22:56] ubuntu software is a gui for apt-get [22:56] Gnea: Perhaps. It is significantly better than just installing junk into /usr/local, though. [22:56] don't compile things manually, and you'll be able to update them right [22:56] hello [22:56] Gnea: (Since you can easily remove the stuff, when you do it with epkg.) [22:56] hi zelrik [22:56] I cannot read a DVD under vlc [22:56] KirkMcDonald: oh... its cause its trying to load ROOTS identity, which doesnt have one [22:56] I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed [22:56] zelrik, are all of the codecs installed [22:57] zelrik, what happens when you try to access it, what re your version details [22:57] I have access to the menu then... [22:57] hold on [22:57] zelrik, run this command sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [22:57] randomus1r, aha! so why cant i see open-jdk under "install applications"? [22:57] nemetos, what version of ubuntu are you using? [22:57] whats a good firewall for Ubuntu? is Firestarter any good? [22:57] under vlc it just stops playing when I press one button in the menu and under movie player I have the following error message: [22:58] 'could not read from source' [22:58] randomus1r, 10.10 [22:58] nemetos, try to look for 'openjdk' === lost is now known as Guest7880 [22:59] randomus1r, not under "installed software" or "provided by ubuntu".. i should see it tho, right? === Guest7880 is now known as lostme [22:59] oh it works [22:59] thx coz that did it [22:59] and another question. How come I can't play DVD movies on Ubuntu. Is there a certain codec pack I will have to download? [22:59] nemetos get it thru synaptic [22:59] zelrik, no problem... I thought it was that simple :) [22:59] itaylor57, : synaptic? o.O [23:00] CryonicCore, VLC not working? [23:00] randomus1r, oh.. i might see it now tho :) [23:00] !dvd | CryonicCore [23:00] CryonicCore: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:00] brontoeee no it wont work [23:00] CryonicCore, first sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and then run this command sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [23:00] nemetos, nice, nice, we are alive and things work [23:00] !java | nemetos [23:00] nemetos: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [23:00] itaylor57, google says that synaptic is just another gui for apt? [23:01] nemetos: it is [23:01] thanks for the help everyone :) [23:02] and aptitude and apt are friends as well or not? [23:02] Problem: I can not get a internet connection anymore after swiching ubuntu (Lynx) into "ready" mode. On my netbook, i'm using now, it works perfectly... [23:02] brontoeee: They all get along just splendidly. [23:02] nemetos: apt is the package manager, it has different commands like apt-get and apt-cache and apt-key [23:02] Richie086, so if i install synaptics, i have two places to install packages/software? which is best, ubuntu software center or synaptics? [23:02] Hey. I'm getting "The following packages have been kept back: upstart" while running 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'. Update Manager won't let me select the package for update. How can I solve it? [23:02] I think i had that problem also once, after using "ready" mode. [23:02] Just created a new partition and installed 10.10 but when rebooted, only offered old choices, no sign of new os [23:03] JuJuBee: Does Grub know about it? [23:03] brontoeee: little differences, I think aptitude isn't by default installed anymore [23:03] nemetos: depends which one you are more confortable with using.. there is also dselect, aptitude, umm... probabally few others that do the same thing but in different ways [23:03] KirkMcDonald: how do I check? [23:03] nemetos, synaptic seems a bit more advanced and a tad faster to load, ubuntu s center seems friendlier [23:03] Richie086, whats your favourite? ;) [23:04] what chatwould i use to figure out how to use the ubuntu disc burner? [23:04] i persoanlly like doing apt-get from the command line, i find it to be easier for me. If I need to install a bunch of stuff, I will use dselect or aptitude [23:04] brontoeee, ah, cool, thanks [23:05] not to say the synaptic package manager sucks, but the gui is somewhat clunky to me for some reason... [23:05] Richie086, so you can pretty much swap between the different "ways" terminal/synatpics/dselect and they all work, since they all use the common apt(-get)? [23:05] nemetos: yeah [23:05] Hi, I have some (what I assume are) corrupted files on an external disk and I was wondering how (short of formatting the disk) i could get rid of them. When I try I get a mix of Read only filesystem errors and Input/output errors [23:05] thank god :P [23:05] Problem: I can not get a internet connection anymore after swiching ubuntu (Lynx) into "ready" mode. On my netbook, i'm using now, it works perfectly... [23:06] michel, wifi or cable? [23:06] brontoee: cable [23:06] nemetos: thats the great thing, there are usually lots of way to get a paticular job done with linux, its up to you to figure out what tools and commands to put together to get the task done [23:06] *brontoeee [23:06] Richie086, would be hell to remember.. oh, so i installed x from y, so i need to uninstall x from y and not z.. etc [23:06] If anyone else wondered how to protect passwords needed for fstab, check this out: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=2696 [23:06] i have a cheap usb hub, how can i figure out if its usb1.1 or usb2? [23:06] nemetos: i rarely uninstall applications i install.. only if they are broken.. [23:07] Da|Mummy: use it on windows and it will tell you. not sure how to on Ubuntu [23:07] i dont have windows [23:07] is there any way to disable wireless network scanning [23:07] eggbloke: try mounting it rw in /etc/fstab ?? [23:07] Richie086, as a windows-hardcore, i install stuff all the time :P .. need.. to.. keep..that.. list.. clean.. urgh ^^ [23:07] nemetos: but I have been using linux for 10 years (since 2001) now, so I dont play around with tons of random stuff as much as i used to [23:07] coz_ I did what u said and not I am at the stage in terminal that has end user agreement and at the bottom. What do I do? [23:07] *now [23:08] CryonicCore, hit the tab key until "ok' is highlighted [23:08] Richie086, 10 years, cool - ive been using Linux for.. 3 hours :P [23:08] CryonicCore, then hit enter [23:08] CryonicCore, I probably should have had you do this in sysnaptic [23:08] Da|Mummy, what would 'lspci' say? [23:08] WTF! ubuntu-bug command CRASHING http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1011729 [23:08] nemetos: you on the otherhand probabally will install a ton of different stuff, some useful, some not.. I advise you to mess with as much stuff as you can, thats really how you end up learning the most is by exprimenting.. [23:08] Da|Mummy, not sure you could try sudo dmidecode [23:08] $ ubuntu-bug ubuntu-bug [23:08] Da|Mummy, that show it [23:08] Richie086, but that means that you swapped just before any decent window managers (gnome or kde) came? meaning it was all pretty much text-based, right? [23:09] curious397: it is already mounted [23:09] nemetos: no, gnome and kde were both around [23:09] nemetos: they didnt look as nice as they do these days, but they did exist [23:09] Richie086, hm ok.. my linux timeline is not the very best :-) [23:10] eggbloke is it mounted "ro" ? [23:10] ok folks - time for bed. Huge thanks for everyone kind enough to answer newbie questions! [23:10] is there a unix command deldir? [23:10] good night have fun [23:10] curious397: oh it seems to be mounted in mtab not fstab, im not sure what the difference it. It is RW in mtab [23:10] triple boot macbook, 10 years on windows, 6 on macosx, 1 on ubuntu.... guess what i'm writing from? =) [23:10] wanderingi: are you trying to remove a directory? [23:11] how can you bring a network up without using the ifup command? [23:11] eggbloke: try this sudo mount -a [23:11] yea [23:11] ubuntuuuss: dhclient? not sure if that would di it [23:11] wanderingi: try rm -r directoryname but be careful to make sure you are typing the directory name [23:11] bronteee: Problem solved. Wanna know, how? [23:12] Richie086: no, that would take care of the dhcp part, but would not bring the network up in itself [23:12] ok thanks [23:12] ubuntuuuss: yeah like i said, not sure.. [23:12] brontoeee: Problem solved. Wanna know, how? [23:12] michel, tell me [23:12] coz_, i see 38 structures, some of them are usb related, none of them give me any info on speed of usb [23:12] curious397: it just says it is already mounted. [23:12] Da|Mummy, darn I thought for sure it would === Sabhawk is now known as SabHawk [23:13] brontoeee: gksudo gedit /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state [23:13] ubuntuuuss: sudo ifconfig up; sudo dhclient [23:13] brontoeee: In the file was written: [23:13] [main] [23:13] NetworkingEnabled=false [23:13] WirelessEnabled=true [23:13] WWANEnabled=true [23:13] michel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:13] eggbloke: if it were me i'd copy the entry from mtab into fstab [23:13] michel, what, locked cofig file ? [23:14] brontoeee: I had to sich from NeworkingEnable to "true" [23:14] Da|Mummy, try hwinfo [23:14] *swich [23:14] *switch [23:14] michel, thats should be left click on network managers icon, no? [23:14] eggbloke: makes sense if it is mounted rw in mtab .. not showing in fstab and you are getting ro errors then it isin't properly mounted [23:15] brontoeee: This icon was nowhere, i think. This problem occures often, i think. (Solution by google) [23:15] ok [23:15] Da|Mummy, or with dmidecode then google the motherboard for its specs [23:15] fumblnoob: I have tried that, but in order for dhclient to work properly the network must be up (i.e. I must invoke ifup), if I invoke "ifconfig eth1 up" it doesn't seem to be enough, try "ping whatever" after that and I receive "network is down" [23:15] hi [23:15] its not on motherboard [23:15] hello! how to disable ati "display identify" which brings white number in red square on monitor after you switch from tty to pts? [23:15] fumblnoob: there seems to be something else that ifconfig up and dhclient cannot take care that must be "upped" [23:16] i bought myself a cheap little usb hub with 4 ports [23:16] Da|Mummy: lsusb [23:16] and want to know if its a usb1.1 or usb2 [23:16] channel working now [23:16] Da|Mummy, the hub itself is neither one [23:17] ...? [23:17] ubuntuuuss: are you sure both ends of the cable are connected propely and the cable is a known good cable? [23:17] Da|Mummy, believe it or not its not the wireing that makes it usb or 2 [23:17] hi guys any idea on how i can make my opened minimized applications thinner on the taskbar on ubu 10.04??? [23:17] ubuntuuuss: check out the following /etc/resolv.conf /etc/hosts /etc/network/interfaces [23:17] curious397: I moved the entry from mtab to fstab with no effect [23:17] Da|Mummy, the hub "should" respond to whichever your system has [23:17] eggbloke: did you do "mount -a" ? [23:18] milamber, coz_ , heres what lsusb gives me, http://pastebin.com/69gpvGc8 [23:18] curious397: it says it is already mounted or busy [23:18] Richie086: everything works fine, it's just that I want to learn how to configure the network without resorting to ifup, doing all the dirty work with ifconfig and dhclient [23:18] curious397: if i do umount it says not mounted [23:18] Da|Mummy, ok your system supports and uses usb 21 [23:18] Da|Mummy, rather usb2 [23:18] Da|Mummy: "USB 2.0 Hub" [23:19] Da|Mummy: is the dlink the hub you are talking about? [23:19] ive no idea [23:19] i also have one of those 50in1 usb card readers [23:19] curious397: I have already looked at those, the /etc/network/interfaces is for use with ifup and if I use ifup it works fine, but the thing is that I want to be able to configure the network using manual commands, without resorting to config files for ifup [23:19] thats inside my tower [23:20] curious397: I think I will just leave it and format the disk tommorow. It seems pretty messed up with random filenames and stuff [23:20] Da|Mummy, I have had hubs that were low end and didnt work [23:20] Da|Mummy: are there any marking on the hub at all? [23:20] milamber, nothing [23:20] eggbloke: you could try to ssh2 from another host and then delete them from there but it's your choice [23:20] its a cheap 4 port squid hub from ebay [23:21] Da|Mummy: have you tried lspci? [23:21] i think it stated that it was 2.0 on ebay link, but it doesnt seem like it is [23:21] curious397: okay i may try that. im gonna go now. Thanks for your help =) === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [23:21] Da|Mummy: or lspci -vv [23:21] Da|Mummy, you system is already usb2 ,,, it is most likely the hub... does the usb ports on the computer work? [23:21] coz_, yes [23:22] ubuntuuuss: have you tried a simple /etc/init.d/networking stop? and then ... start? [23:22] Da|Mummy, ok then if the hub ,,, plugged into one of the system ports...isnt working,,,then the hub is bad [23:22] its working.... [23:22] but it seems slow [23:23] whats write speed of usb1.1? [23:23] Da|Mummy, what do you have plugged into it? [23:23] curious397: /etc/init.d/networking uses the information provided by /etc/network/interfaces , so it would be tantamount to using ifup, which is what I am trying to avoid in the first place [23:23] Richie086, lspci only shows me motherboard/gfx,memory info [23:23] a sdhc card reader [23:23] Da|Mummy, I believe it is 18megs a second [23:23] anyone can suggest a vector sketching tool that would properly handle wacom tablet with pen pressure support (inkscape and xsara are not behaving as expected, mypain does, but thats not a vector tool)? [23:24] oh its an external usb device then? [23:24] mypaint* [23:24] yes [23:24] like a hub? sorry hgave not been following the discussion [23:24] ya [23:24] 4 port squid hub [23:24] trying to figure out if its usb2 or 1.1 [23:25] Hello, I am trying to resize an lvm partition within a LUKS-encrypted volume. How can I go about doing this? [23:25] ubuntuuuss: i never use ifup myself - i manually configure my networks but I am still not sure what your problem is sorry [23:25] ubuntuuuss: what is on eth0? [23:26] Da|Mummy, the hub itslelf is not 1 or 2 [23:26] ? [23:26] Da|Mummy, does the drive write faster if it is plugged into the system port [23:27] I'm having an issue with Ubuntu 10.10 talking to my LDAP server. [23:28] curious397: I want to be able to manually use my network without invoking ifup. So I would want to do everything through command line parameters, via ifconfig, dhclient (and route?). If I try to do that it works but when I try to ping something it says "network is down", it only stops being down if I invoke ifup or /etc/init.d/networking restart... but I don't want that, since they rely on config files (i.e. /etc/network/interfa [23:30] I have an LDAP server and configured my "ldap.conf" to do STARTTLS [23:30] ubuntuuuss: so you are running an isolated process and don't want network configuration for it? [23:30] How do I find a USB flash drive that isn't showing up in fdisk? I tried making a Crunch Bang boot on it and now I can't find it to format it? [23:30] hey [23:30] plytheman: look in gparted [23:30] ok I have to break here [23:30] someone here good at networks? [23:31] curious397: cool, lemme check [23:31] coz_, well i was able to figure out with disk utility that it is a usb1.1 with 12mb/sec connection :{ [23:31] curious397: something like that. I want to be able to do everything without having to use config files [23:31] damnit... [23:32] curious397: nothing in gparted either [23:32] quit [23:33] whoopsie [23:33] I tried lsusb and couldn't find it either [23:33] Hi there, I have a question regarding Empathy and yahoo video call if anyone can please help ( on private or here ) [23:33] ubuntuuuss: network-manager is the default way to handle network connections in ubuntu [23:34] Im in a LAN network and try to telnet my external IP but it fails .. why is that? === marieta is now known as Shaia [23:34] jrib: network-manager? haha, that's the first thing I "sudo apt-get remove" when I install ubuntu! :) [23:35] ubuntuuuss: how come? [23:35] jrib: my approach is completely the opposite to using things like network-manager [23:35] ubuntuuuss: any changes you make will be lost on reboot okay? [23:35] curious397: yes, lost, ok [23:36] jrib: if I consider using /etc/network/interfaces to be too automatic for my "purist" tastes, what do you think I would consider using network-manager? :) [23:36] anyone know how to run a video call between 1 ubuntu omputer and 1 windows computer ?( using yahoo messenger ) [23:36] ubuntuuuss: I don't understand, do you just want to write your own tools? [23:36] is there a way to reset my sources.list file for EEEbuntu ? [23:37] could anyone teach me how to burn dvds ? [23:37] ubuntuuuss: you can try looking here and maybe at ethtools [23:37] !dvd | daniel [23:37] jrib: I just want to handle everything from the CLI, which I can do right now just by invoking ifup if I wish, but I want to do it even more "manual" [23:37] daniel: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:37] !burn | daniel [23:37] daniel: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [23:37] ubuntuuuss: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [23:37] is there a way to see the name of a particular key, that is, the name the system gives that key [23:37] curious397: thank you, I'm gonna take a look [23:38] ubuntuuuss: well you can control network-manager from cli :) [23:38] ubuntuuuss: i agree as far as network manager but network interfaces is okay [23:38] jrib: network-manager handles things on its own, the right way to do things, from my perspective, is getting one's hands dirty with "low level" commands like ifconfig. In short: network-manager is an aberration :) [23:39] ubuntuuuss: k [23:40] curious397: looked at your link but it completely relies on /etc/network/interfaces and ifup when it comes to dhcp [23:40] ubuntuuuss: you might check out "ip" === benoit_ is now known as Guest8395 [23:41] jrib: interesting, looking at its man page [23:42] Hello, I'm having trouble getting 5.1 sound to work on Ubuntu 10.10 with my Nvidia Mcp51 sound card. Can anyone help me? [23:43] ubuntuuuss: yes, should entertain for an hour or two [23:43] Hello, how can I resize an inactive LVM partition? [23:44] curious397: if you recall ifup's definition is something like "it does ifconfig and route's dirty work". I would like to do the dirty work myself, but with ifconfig and dhclient somehow it's not enough. You keep on with the "network is down" complain until you invoke ifup or /etc/init.d/networking restart, it seems that there's something not configured that only gets right after the stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces are read... [23:44] jrib: do you think that when ifup handles the "iface eth1 inet dhcp" stanza it does so by invoking "ip" (besides ifconfig) ? [23:45] Hello, I'm having trouble getting 5.1 sound to work on Ubuntu 10.10 with my Nvidia Mcp51 sound card. Can anyone help me? [23:45] ubuntuuuss: as a matter of interest what is the output of ifconfig -a | grep eth [23:45] ubuntuuuss: no. I think ip is basically a replacement for ifconfig. But I don't know much about these things [23:46] curious397: don't have it here, but, believe me, that's not relevant for this topic (i.e. I have no misunderstanding whatsoever about what each ethX in my network does and what card it belongs to, that's not the problem ) === JackyAlcine is now known as Guest38805 [23:47] jrib: then we are beating a dead horse, since I am already using ifconfig [23:47] so here's a weird one: sound via my headphones jack has always worked fine in ubuntu 10.10. i reboot to windows 7, where sound works fine, reboot back to linux, and no sound via headphones jack [23:47] verified it still works fine in windows [23:47] i can't find anything muted in pavucontrol or alsamixer [23:48] bonsoir [23:48] If i was to install thunderbird, would it take over Evolution as the mail app in the indicator applet? [23:48] if i want to combine stderr and stdout into the stdout stream do i use "2>&1" or "&1>2" ? [23:48] y a t il quelqu un qui parle francais dans le coin ? [23:49] ubuntuuuss: how does « ifup eth0 » compare to « ifconfig eth0 up »? [23:49] !fr | nemi3_ [23:49] nemi3_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [23:49] wanderingi: the first one [23:49] merci ubottu [23:49] glibc-2.11 yields a " undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local' " error on Ubuntu. Any ideas ? [23:49] cwage: probably because windows switched off the soundcard on its own volition and maybe the "fn + key" thing doesn't work from linux [23:49] thank ubottu [23:49] exit [23:49] cwage: I would go to the CLI and try alsamixer, and unmute everything from there [23:50] nothing is muted in alsamixer [23:50] yo [23:50] jrib: ifup eth0 takes the stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces as configuration parameters, whereas ifconfig doesn't (with ifconfig you have to supply the parameters yourself) [23:50] I have upgraded today and I have an unmet dependency with package upstart [23:50] am I the only one? [23:51] cwage: disable your onboard sound in bios if possible - will solve alot of problems [23:51] ubuntuuuss: isn't that what you want to do? [23:52] what do you mean onboard sound? [23:52] the speakers? [23:52] i'd prefer to have them working as well [23:52] this is so weird. it was all working fine 30 minutes ago.. windows bitched something up [23:52] jrib: yes! but somehow the parameters I can pass through ifconfig are not enough, don't know why [23:52] cwage: you have motherboard built in sound and another soundcard yes? [23:52] ubuntuuuss: you probably need to mess with « route »? (again I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff and just throwing stuff out there) [23:52] cwage: If you have a PCI sound card and Onboard Chipset sound, that could be it. [23:52] say no, it's the same soundcard [23:52] say this is a laptop [23:52] -say [23:53] could someone recommend a good torrent client for cli use? [23:53] cwage: ok i am wrong then [23:53] asdfqwer: rtorrent, btdownloadcurses [23:53] asdfqwer: ubuntu comes with transmission [23:53] and i verified it's playing fine in windows still [23:53] jrib: it seems that messing with route is necessary when you are using static ip addresses, but it seems that route cannot config things if you use dhcp [23:54] ubuntuuuss: I see, so ifconfig eth0 up and then using dhcp is not sufficient still? [23:54] jrib: I'd really like to know what the "iface ethX inet dhcp" stanza translates into, in terms of ifconfig and/or route [23:54] jrib: no, it's not [23:54] cwage: have you tried the pulseaudio configuration ulitities? [23:55] cwage, what is the output of - cat /proc/asound/cards ? [23:55] ubuntuuuss: give it a static ip [23:55] that would be "purer" than dhcp :P [23:55] lol [23:56] jrib: yeah :) that's why I usually use static IPs hehe, but want to know how to config dhcp as well [23:56] ubuntuuuss: seems to work for this guy: http://serverfault.com/questions/46236/where-do-they-belong-ifconfig-eth0-up-dhclient [23:57] jrib: let's see [23:58] ubuntuuuss: how were you using dhcp previously? [23:59] g_0_0: https://gist.github.com/806989 [23:59] jrib: nah, they keep talking about the damn config files thing [23:59] jrib: I have always used dhcp with ifup, but want to make things less config-files reliant [23:59] ubuntuuuss: I mean that was an example of someone who could use their connection by just issuing « ifconfig eth0 up && dhclient »
