[00:00] hi every body [00:00] jrib: that doesn't work for me honestly. I am off to try something else, either I'll come back or I'll get into bed, so goodbye for the moment :) [00:00] I have a box running Mythbuntu 9.10 running testing ppas for 0.23.1 and I also have Asterisk asterisk-1.6.2 pkg running on the box. Box only has wireless access to network, so is it possible to upgrade the base using CD as opposed to over the wire ? [00:01] i have problem with xdebug , i have install xdebug , its work fine , but have no style , just return the text , every body can help me ? [00:01] hello [00:01] anyone here uses zoneminder ? I get a 127 error code when probing /dev/video0 [00:02] I need help with installing Ubuntu. [00:02] I want to isnatll PDF acrobat, I have documenst viewer 2.30.2 right now [00:02] wow , many question and no answer :D [00:02] what is the other name of good PDF viewer/reader? [00:03] induz: you can get that at medibuntu.org [00:03] i am on Lucid lynx curious397 [00:04] which one is better pdf reader/viewerso that i [00:04] can install on Lucid/ [00:05] does anybody know if Ubuntu is participating in Google Summer of Code 2011? [00:05] induz: it's showing the arcoread fonts for karmic but i have no idea where the package is for the reader itself [00:05] or Canonical? [00:06] induz: fosit reader is good [00:06] sorry foxit i meant [00:06] my Chat is not auto connecting on startup even though I told it to in preferences, any solution? [00:07] Following directions here: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java#TOC-Install-JRE-32-bit- and running this command: sudo mv ~/Downloads/jre-6u23-linux-i586.bin /opt/java/32 I get "mv: cannot stat `/home/cassie/Downloads/jre-6u23-linux-i586.bin': No such file or directory" Help please! [00:07] i am getting acroreader curious397 [00:07] hellopart [00:07] curious397, which is better acroreader or fosit?? [00:08] i got acroreade through synaptic manager [00:08] induz: your choice but foxit is here: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/ [00:08] So, I am curious, why is Empathy eating 150 megs of memory, and telepathy butterfly eating about 90 megs, that seems a lot for just an IM app... [00:09] induz: always better tho to get a ubuntu package with continued support for ubuntu [00:09] hey, I'm trying to get utf-8 working. I've already set LC_ALL=en_GB.utf-8, plus LANG and LANGUAGE, and many combinations thereof, plus dpkg-reconfigure locales, installed language-pack-en, and ran locale-gen (and all sorts of combinations of the above), but utf-8 still isn't working, even though "locale" returns everything that I'd expect. Does anyone know anything else to try? [00:09] curious397, i just want something better than document viewer!! [00:09] quantumlemur: trying to get utf-8 working in what? [00:10] curious397, but lot bloated one like adobe [00:10] quantumlemur: and do you mean utf-8, or do you mean you are trying to display unicode ? [00:10] induz: foxit is very lightweight [00:10] so the "set_defualt=0" command in grub... i assume the number corresponds, to the position the selection is on the menu correct? "0" being the first position? [00:10] linxeh, bash, and on top of that screen. and I believe utf-8, although I'm not sure of the difference. my test is that these characters display as boxes: こんにちは [00:10] hey guys i need help i dont know what happened but now my windows dont have boarders like whre you minimize and close the windows how can i fix it? [00:11] curious397, its .tr.bz file [00:11] quantumlemur: and what are you running bash / screen within ? [00:11] linxeh, putty, which is set to assume utf-8 [00:11] curious397, i have to still find out how to install tar files [00:11] quantumlemur: IIRC putty is windows 1252 by default [00:12] is there any programme like Gebi to install tar bz files?? [00:12] induz theres a FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb right there [00:12] hey guys i need help i dont know what happened but now my windows dont have boarders like whre you minimize and close the windows how can i fix it? [00:12] linxeh, yes, it is. I have a different machine with utf-8/unicode working properly, and putty with the same settings on both. [00:12] then just dpkg -i FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb [00:12] 1231 [00:12] 1235476 [00:13] quantumlemur: do this dpkg-reconfigure locales [00:13] quantumlemur: beyond me I'm afraid; I dont have a windows machine at home to look at, and these days I dont need putty utf8 support at work. I just know I struggled to get putty utf-8 working several years asgo [00:13] curious397, I did that, and it said that they were all up to date, and still doesn't work [00:13] select the utf8 of your language and if you are really keen then apt-get install localepurge and get rid of all those nasties [00:13] quantumlemur: from reading up you are correct though; putty does support utf8 if it is configured to use it [00:14] Anyone know how to install the nvidia restricted drivers from command line? I understand that will fix my GTX240 problem. [00:14] curious397, i got it throu GEBI [00:14] linxeh, but you said that it's possible that it's a unicode problem, rather than utf-8? do you know how I'd check that? [00:15] something weird is going on. On my old installation of ubuntu I was able to execute any binary from my NTFS drive in my desktop. But after reinstalling, I cannot execute anything on NTFS. Of course, chmod does not work because it's unsupported but I should be able to run a binary. [00:15] Is this the proper channel to get community tech support? [00:15] Is that a rhetorical question? [00:15] when I copy from Word 2007 running on wine to OO, I can not past it why?? [00:15] SCooper: are you using ubuntu? if so then yes [00:15] curious397, thanks [00:15] SCooper, yes it is [00:15] Thanks, I'm setting up ubuntu server for the first time and I know Im going to have questions [00:16] Following directions here: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java#TOC-Install-JRE-32-bit- and running this command: sudo mv ~/Downloads/jre-6u23-linux-i586.bin /opt/java/32 I get "mv: cannot stat `/home/cassie/Downloads/jre-6u23-linux-i586.bin': No such file or directory" Help please! [00:16] doomrobo: well does the file have executable permissions? [00:16] !java | cassie [00:16] cassie: 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. [00:16] I chmod 777 but it doesn't work because chmod doesn't work on NTFS [00:16] induz: don't know about wine because i can't stand it BUT i'd say it has something to do with your fonts in wine .. did you copy the fonts folder from windows to wine? [00:16] doomrobo: not my question [00:17] @jrib I suppose not [00:17] doomrobo: why suppose? Just check. [00:17] ls -l; everything is 700 [00:17] quantumlemur: fwiw, those characters you typed came up as kana (I think?) here [00:17] doomrobo: then it's executable for the owner. What happens when you try to execute it? [00:17] quantumlemur: by unicode I meant issues displaying the glyph for the font [00:18] permission denied [00:18] quantumlemur: as opposed to an encoding issue [00:18] curious397, I didnt copy fonts to wine but i copied to /usr/share/fonts [00:18] quantumlemur: do you have suitable unicode fonts installed on the windows machine ? [00:18] doomrobo: pastebin ls -l file as well as you attempting to execute it and the full output please [00:18] and it says I'm the owner. I even chowned it for good measure [00:18] doomrobo: chown +x it [00:18] linxeh, I see. yeah, unfortunately the font and everything else is working fine on the other machine [00:18] how would i install "58699-Cobra-0.0.4.tar.gz" via the terminal im in the right directory just dont know the code [00:18] or i mean sudo chown +x it whatever it is [00:19] daniel: what is that file? [00:19] a theme [00:19] !permissions > curious397 [00:19] curious397, please see my private message [00:19] quantumlemur: and its identical installs of windows ? [00:19] jrib, a theme [00:19] daniel: you should be able to click "install" somewhere in System -> Preferences -> Appearance. But if you don't want to do that, you can extract the tar.gz to ~/.themes/ [00:19] linxeh, yup, same copy of putty on the same box, with the same settings [00:19] Hi, all. On the tip of my brain, I remember a way to do something like this: for i, things in iterate(["one", "two", "three"]):... [00:19] Anybody know what I'm talking about? [00:19] http://pastebin.com/hFUsdja8 [00:20] I can't remember the exact syntax [00:20] oh, nvm [00:20] dmiles: for i in one two three; do echo $i; done [00:20] jrib, theres nothign i can do in the terminal that would be easier? [00:20] the directories are 700 [00:20] Can someone point me to a good link on how to set up a good SSH config? [00:20] quantumlemur: what about windows though? same version? same install settings? same apps? same fonts? [00:20] the files are 500 [00:20] jrib, I want the list idx number as well [00:20] but it still doesn't make sense [00:20] quantumlemur: because it really seems to be a windows fonts / config / putty issue to me [00:20] !ssh | SCooper [00:20] SCooper: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [00:20] linxeh, yeah, I was talking about windows. the two putty windows are side-by-side. is there another shell I can try, maybe? [00:21] doomrobo: I don't need all this information. Just do « ls -l THE_FILE » and « ./THE_FILE » and show me the output [00:21] I feel stupid. I realize what I said was completely wrong [00:21] !ssh [00:21] oh, sorry [00:21] oops [00:21] oops, sorry... Thought I was in the python room :( === dmiles is now known as shaggyoaf [00:21] anyone know anything about the grub.cfg file? [00:21] dmiles: syntax is similar :P for i in iterable; print i [00:22] grub.cfg = 10.10 [00:22] I'm looking for something relating to specific sshd_config configs [00:22] quantumlemur: I used to use securecrt and exceed. there is also cygwin / mingw and things like rxvt there I guess. I'm not really up on the latest windows tools [00:23] -rw------- 1 michael sudo 47866 2011-02-01 19:06 factoring [00:23] Hi, I am having some DVD playback issues, specifically DVD playback no longer works since I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04. [00:23] Any ideas? [00:23] linxeh, I meant another linux shell. I'm pretty sure the problem is on the linux side, although I suppose it wouldn't jurt to try securecrt or something. [00:23] then obviously upon executing I receive a "Permission Denied" [00:23] quantumlemur: try maybe dpkg-reconfigure dash and select no and then dpkg-reconfigure debconf and select readline for a while you can change back any time [00:24] doomrobo: that file isn't executable. I think in recent versions, they changed it so that only files that end in .exe are given executable permissions on ntfs [00:24] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, but the GNOME panels on the top of the screen are totally cut off on the right side, so I don't have access to applets, clock, etc. [00:24] @fisch246 only horrible memories [00:24] http://bayimg.com/haDDnAaDk [00:24] There is a picture of it, please help! ^ [00:24] curious397, what are dash and debconf? [00:24] XD [00:24] well that explains a lot [00:24] Is there a workaround? [00:24] Anyone have info on sshd_config s? [00:24] Confused_Again, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:24] quantumlemur: its not a linux problem if it works on the other machine [00:24] curious397, do i have to copy fonts to Wine too?? [00:25] looking for something a bit more than the info on the ubuntu help page [00:25] dash is the system shell used in ubuntu [00:25] curious397, I am using foxit now and loving it [00:25] quantumlemur: all the linux box does is stream bytes (that have unicode code points encoded using utf-8) over an ssh stream to the client [00:25] SCooper: man sshd_config [00:25] -join #bash [00:25] guys my wireless connection intermittently disconnects [00:25] Thanks, I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:25] but bash is better when problem-solving troubleshooting because it is the default debian shell [00:25] linxeh, oh, I see what's going on. I mean that I've got one windows box and two ubuntu boxes. one of the ubuntu boxes works fine with utf-8, and the other doesn't. [00:25] can someone please help me to get wireless working on my laptop? [00:25] i have dell inspiron 1525 ubuntu 10.04 [00:25] quantumlemur: oh I see! doh [00:25] !wifi > glitchd [00:25] glitchd, please see my private message [00:25] i'm just trying to figure out how to change the default boot kernal... i know which setting controls this... i change the "set_default=0" command to a different number... however the exact number i change it to is unbeknown to me... [00:26] fisch246: in the grub list, the first line is 0, next line is 1, etc. [00:26] @fisch246 reboot and remember where it is in the lost [00:26] *list [00:26] quantumlemur: ok, and you are attempting to paste UTF8 into putty, or copy it out (or both)? [00:26] linxeh, both [00:26] debconf is using dialog right now and readline is a text based alternative to the blue screens [00:26] jrib, thank you, that's what i thought, but i wanted to make sure, thanks :) [00:26] and count from 0 like jrib said [00:26] i have ubuntu 10.04 running on the latest kernel linux 2.6.32-27-generic-pae [00:27] jrib, ubottu i tried those and still cant get it to work [00:27] didn't go with 64-bit? [00:27] doomrobo: I don't know, you could try passing an explicit fmask as a mount option [00:27] guys my wireless connection keeps disconnecting .. dell inspiron 1525 ubuntu 10.04 [00:28] I'm looking at this problem in the forums and I can use a fuse group and edit the partition in the fstab [00:28] jrib, can u help me? [00:28] glitchd: you need to give a detail account of your issue on one line. No one has any clue what you're having trouble with, other than "can't get internet to work". It's too vague [00:28] jrib, can i pm u? [00:28] fisch246: look for startupmanagr in synaptic .. it will walk you through bootup [00:28] glitchd: please use #ubuntu [00:28] jrib, ok [00:30] i have a dell inspirom n5010, ubuntu 10.04, Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01), i just did and update today, like i do everyday, and all of a sudden wireless was no longer in the network box. [00:30] Hi, I am trying to encrypt and compress a file. Zip has a 4GB limit so I cant use that. Any other suggestions? [00:31] @jrib, I don't think an fmask will work [00:32] glitchd i have dell inspiron 1525 and I ran update yesterday. Now i am starting to have problems with my wireless network.. it keeps disconnecting [00:32] it's still permissions based, I'll install ntfs-config [00:32] so i went to drivers and it was not activated so i tried to activate it and got some messge about how it could not activate it, and now its not even listed in the hardware drivers dialog box [00:32] something in updated fucked my wirelesss [00:32] curious397, r u there? [00:32] doomrobo: umm, did you try? It definitely used to work in the past [00:32] induz: yes [00:32] avashi1, well mine doesnt have problems, its completely gone [00:33] @jrib, you're right. Don't knock it till u try it. I'll do it now [00:33] curious397 do i have to copy fonts to WINE [00:33] that sucks.. can you reinstall yours from software center [00:33] avashi1, i have no clue, but ill find out right now [00:33] curious397, I copied fonts to usr/share/fonts folder [00:33] are there any options at all relating to character encoding and language that would require a restart? anything, even the slightest bit tangentially? [00:34] induz: i used to do that yes from winxp to a folder in wine windows folder [00:34] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, but the GNOME panels on the top of the screen are totally cut off on the right side, so I don't have access to applets, clock, etc. [00:34] http://bayimg.com/haDDnAaDk [00:34] There is a picture of it, please help! ^ [00:34] avashi1, both the driver and the driver source are installed already [00:34] hey guya [00:34] guys [00:34] I am trying to install kubuntu 10.10 32 bit on my laptop currently running 10.04 64bit. I need to test a theory about some drivers I need to run my smartboard. I installed 10.10 onto another partition after much hassel and after reboot got errror "Gave up waiting for root device..." and dropped me to (initramfs) [00:34] When you right-click the panel and select properties, is "expand" active? [00:35] sacredchao: can you change your resolution? [00:35] (Ctrl-alt-PgUp or Ctrl-alt-PgDown) [00:35] curious397: Yeah sure to what === mgage_ is now known as mgage [00:36] curious397, there is a folder /wine/windows/fonts...should i copy there? [00:36] hi. i'm having trouble enabling wireless on an acer aspire one 150. rfkill shows that it is hard blocked. I have googled but only found answers for soft blocks. What should I do? Thanks :) [00:36] avashi1, any other clues? [00:36] induz: yes [00:36] curious397, how can i copy there? [00:37] no idea bro.. hopefully someone can help you.. [00:37] @jrib, Thank you very much. It worked. I'll just set the fmask to 000 [00:37] JuJuBee: first off, try typing "exit" and see if it boots. if that doesn't work, did you verify the iso and cd before installing? [00:37] Hey guys, installed ubuntu today, was pretty trouble free untill i installed my gfx drivers. i Have a Nvidia 9600GTOC hooked up to a polaroid HDTV via dvi-HDMI cable. My problem is that the native resolution is making it go outside the screen, the resolution is correct. nvidia used to have a tool where you could optimize the display, so i am left loosing the edges of my screen. [00:37] i need to figure out whats wrong with mine too.. it keeps disconnecting every now and then after i installed the update yesterday [00:37] NixGeek: yes, verified the discs and md5's etc... [00:37] I will try again and type exit at the prompt... [00:38] induz: put them on a usb the next time you are on a wndows machine and then copy them into win the next time you are on your ubuntu box [00:38] JuJuBee: good, your one of the few people that do. normally I ask and people say "Huh?". [00:40] Hey guys, installed ubuntu today, was pretty trouble free untill i installed my gfx drivers. i Have a Nvidia 9600GTOC hooked up to a polaroid HDTV via dvi-HDMI cable. My problem is that the native resolution is making it go outside the screen, the resolution is correct. nvidia used to have a tool where you could optimize the display, so i am left loosing the edges of my screen [00:40] hi all [00:40] hi [00:40] hi. i'm having trouble enabling wireless on an acer aspire one 150. rfkill shows that my wireless nic is hard blocked. I have googled but only found answers for soft blocks. What should I do? Thanks :) [00:41] if anyone has a link to some directions or a thread that solved the problem i'd be very thankful :) [00:41] Hey guys, installed ubuntu today, was pretty trouble free untill i installed my gfx drivers. i Have a Nvidia 9600GTOC hooked up to a polaroid HDTV via dvi-HDMI cable.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:41] curious397, I copied Fonts from MS disk, not from XP computer, maybe thats why i dont get Words right [00:42] doomrobo: no problem [00:42] curious397, next time when i get to my uncles Xp comp i will copy Fonts [00:42] what port does a mail client connect to a SMTP server? is it the same for both ssl and non-ssl? [00:42] induz: it worked for me but like i say it has been a long time since I used wine [00:43] curious397, everytime I have to work on my files due to fonts i guess [00:43] NixGeek: exit did nothing but give me back the same message... [00:43] .. [00:44] curious397, is there any goos s/w for image like fstop [00:44] good [00:44] can someone help me to get my wireless card back in ubuntu 10.04? [00:45] need help please: every time I restart my computer I have to edit the visual effects to get the window border, butons,...; I'v tried compiz --replace but it doesn't resolve the problem. [00:45] induz: there is a good one in kde and netpbm is best for command line (my opinion) [00:46] please help me get my wireless back [00:46] Hi there. I'd like to try rebuilding a Maverick pacakge on Lucid. I think it will work because the package has very few dependencies, but I cant figure out how to rebuild a deb from a newer Ubuntu release. [00:46] Any hints? [00:48] JuJuBee: do you have a livecd handy? [00:48] curious397, netpbm is for pictures from a camera too [00:49] ice799, I don't know packaging, but you mean you're taking the deb-src, not the binary package, right? [00:49] Hey guys, installed ubuntu today, was pretty trouble free untill i installed my gfx drivers. i Have a Nvidia 9600GTOC hooked up to a polaroid HDTV via dvi-HDMI cable. My problem is that the native resolution is making it go outside the screen, the resolution is correct. nvidia used to have a tool where you could optimize the display, so i am left loosing the edges of my screen [00:49] really? no one wants to lend me a hand? [00:49] ice799: make a backup of /etc/apt/sources.list cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.BACKUP ... then change all sources to maverick to download your maverick package and depends ... then change back to the lucid sources and do update / upgrade [00:49] NixGeek: Sure. I have the 10.10 disc (32 bit) [00:49] ( ._.) [00:50] induz: yes and it gives better output than the camera software [00:50] hey guys, what's the script/program that times my boot and login, and breaks it down, telling me what apps/processes are sucking up the most time? Thanks =) [00:51] hello, i am a total linux/ubuntu beginner, got a vps im trying to set up. i used an image with wordpress already installed however i need an ftp server as well, as i read i need to run apt-get update first. however it says "W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release.gpg Cou ld not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com' " [00:51] does anybody at all have any idea about HDTV resolution issues? [00:51] and some similar lines [00:51] curious397, where can i get it? [00:51] JuJuBee: one sec, I need to do something [00:51] k [00:51] induz: aptitude install netpbm [00:51] rich_: Sounds like the TV uses overscan. [00:52] rich_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan [00:52] rich_: If the TV doesn't have a way to turn it off, I'm not sure what you can do. [00:52] does anyone know what might be the problem? [00:53] (And yes, it is completely ridiculous that a modern HDTV uses overscan.) [00:53] i dont think it does, nvidia used to have something in their drivers so you could resize the screen, it's not there now [00:53] curious397, its Loading now [00:53] curious397, thnaks a lot [00:54] where to get info about supported hardware ? [00:54] Does anyone know anything about the upstart upgrade that became available today? My update manager wont let me check the box to install it, and apt-get wont do it with upgrade or dist-upgrade. [00:54] lexvegas: same here, no clue [00:54] hey people, does anyone knows where to download supybot plugin for the bot? [00:54] my computer is not recognizing my bluetooth device... do i need to install somthing for plug and play [00:55] JuJuBee: try adding "rootdelay=120" to the end of your kernel setting in grub (highlist the one that doesn't boot and then hit e,a nd add this to the end of the kernel line) [00:55] curious397, it installed it somewhere, where can i find on my system?? [00:55] Hey, quick question. Anyone running Ubuntu 10.10 on a newer Macbook Pro? [00:55] aroman, i didnt see anything online about it either [00:55] induz: whereis netpbm [00:55] NixGeek: how do I do that?

[01:52] KM0201: What if I'm connected via a different wireless card? [01:52] Kintanon: no, "wired" to the internet [01:52] would be the best way [01:52] I have just installed Kubuntu, and I have a long line going across and down my desktop, kind of where the desktop folder used to be. I am using Kubuntu [01:52] hilarie: ok, so what is the problem? [01:52] KM0201: Is the same true for the synaptic installer and whatnot? All of them required a wired connection to succede? [01:53] Every time I do anything it just comes back an err [01:53] Kintanon: no... if you ahve a wireless connection, snaptic works fine.. the problem is, synaptic wnats to fetch the b43firmware fromt he internet, and it can't do that, when you're not connected to the internet [01:53] hilarie: do anything like? [01:54] sec doing the pastebin thingy [01:54] KM0201: Assume I'm connected to the internet, using a different wireless card, should the synaptic b43firmware download work? Because it doesn't. It gives me an error. Just like the driver install.

[01:55] hilarie: looks like you have something else using root right now... thats the only way you get that error... (update manager? synaptic?) [01:55] Yeah, already update. [01:55] I went to the Nautilus website,a nd it says I can connect to irc.gnome.org. Not sure how to do that in Xchat. [01:55] Not that I am aware of, the error persists even after reboot [01:56] bombadil_rocks_ got it thanks [01:56] hilarie: well, it's pretty clear it thinks something is using root. [01:56] Will try rebooting again, brb [01:56] NixGeek: Any more suggestions? [01:57] Kintanon: if you're connected to the internet, that should work.... can you install anything else from that wireless connection? for example, just something simple... sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [01:57] hey guys i just used gparted on live to reconfigure some things. I originally had my hd partitioned with a part for all my media as shared storage "was running dual boot" i have deleted the shared storage part and resized ubuntu partition to max but aparently my auto mount of the shared storage part is still active and attempting to mount a partition which is no longer present. How do i "turn off" the auto mount? === nathan is now known as Guest21869 [01:57] Yes. I've installed a couple of things already. The only thing that has an error is the b43 stuff. [01:58] chaos2358: is the partition completely gone?.. and allt hat was on it, was media, right? [01:58] I get a "E: firmware-b43legacy-installer: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" error from synaptic. [01:59] KM0201, yes it is totally gone and yes only media. movies,pics music etc. [01:59] Kintanon: did you install b43-fwcutter ? [02:00] chaos2358: thats strange... i take it ubuntu won't boot?.. what makes you think ubuntu is still trying to find it? [02:00] Yes. Though I've just found something in the log... It's claiming I should use the b43 instead of the b43-legacy, even though all of the docs I read said this one used the legacy one. [02:00] JuJuBee: so sorry, I was away for a while, let me look over the output [02:00] Okay. I would like to edit the GRUB Loader and remove other versions of Ubuntu. I've tried using Startup-Manager but I don't see how it allows me to edit the OS's. Searched Google but nothing helpful. [02:00] NixGeek: np, I appreciate any help [02:00] could anyone please help me with an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M question? [02:00] Kintanon: i've honestly yet to hear of someone needing to use b43-legacy [02:00] any trick to hack wpa without aircrack..?? [02:00] Kintanon: what is your broadcom device? [02:00] KM0201, when ubuntu boots it gives me an error that /media/mpoint/ is not found [02:01] @km0201 That cleared it up a fair amount, ty [02:01] hilarie: strange... not sure why it didn't work the other times you tried... it should have.... np [02:01] chaos2358: hmm, you might need to remove that mount point from f-stab (did you have it set to mount automatically when you booted up?) [02:01] can anyone help me get C++ support for eclipse? I know its off topic, but can someone point me to somewhere other than the #eclipse [02:01] @km0201 might be those silly workplaces, I don't think god intended me to have 4 desktops to clutter [02:02] JuJuBee: where is kubuntu installed (ie sdX#) [02:02] hilarie: lol.. [02:02] KM0201, A linksys WPC54G, which is listed as a Broadcom 4306. [02:02] KM0201, yes i did. BUT...... I can not find the documentation i used instructing on how to add it and therefore do not know how to delete [02:02] @km0201 The specific thing I am trying to source doesn't isn't in a tarball or anything, its a zip, anything wrong with using archive manager to unzip it? [02:03] I have 10.10 on /sda4 and 10.04 on sda5 [02:03] Kintanon: im sitting here looking at the broadcom page, and it shows the b4306/2 and /3 as the standard br43 driver [02:03] I have just set up my first EVER bind server (bind9 on ubutnu 10.04) and everything works great execpt one thing: when i ping a hostname that i have set up in bind, the pings return very slow, like one every 5-6 seconds.

[02:04] kalle90, what are you having troubles with? [02:04] I've booted live ubuntu from a usb but the installation wont start [02:05] Yeah, one sec. The 4320 rev 02. [02:05] i press forward but nothin happens [02:05] Kintanon: i thought you said it was a 4306? [02:05] I gave up with 10.10 on wins with wubi.....too afraid to mess completly the disc and MBR:) My next question: will ubuntu 10.04 normaly install on wins (wubi) and start with nvidia 9800GT??

[02:06] chaos2358: that, i have no clue on... did you manually add it to f-stab, so it would auto mount on boot up? [02:06] dschuett: no, my laptop doesn't have any [02:06] i had to reinstall because i was getting the package for wine and it got stuck at 86% so i force closed the package manager, and than it wouldnt start back up after reboot, any way to fix that without a reinstall? [02:06] jeaton: what do you mean "change the grub menu" [02:06] KM0201, WTF.... Two different places are giving me two different numbers for it. I'll try the 4320 install and see if that works for me. That might be my problem. The gui is reporting it as a 4306. [02:06] JuJuBee: paste it to paste.ubuntu.com, and you might have to use sudo [02:06] NixGeek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/561218/ [02:07] Kintanon: .. [02:07] KM0201, yes. i came into channel and asked about it and someone provided a link to the proceedure to set it manually. but i no longer have the documentation [02:07] !fstab | chaos2358 [02:07] chaos2358: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

I didn't notice the descrepancy until you mentioned it. [02:07] Kintanon: i believe you. [02:07] KM0201, i want to hide a few of the kernel options I can boot up to under grub, and I want to set up a default option [02:08] how do i get wineprefixcreate? === aron is now known as Guest32310 [02:08] dschuett: no, my laptop doesn't have any [02:08] jeaton: i'm not sure how to hide grub2 entries.. i always just remove them once i know the old kernel works [02:08] i would try recreating the usb [02:08] !grub | jeaton try here [02:08] jeaton try here: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [02:08] JuJuBee: do you have 2 harddrives in your computer/ [02:08] kalle90: what tool are you using to create the USB? === Guest32310 is now known as narothepharoh [02:09] NixGeek: yes 2 320G [02:09] whats a good gui based ftp client ? [02:09] JuJuBee: k, just making sure [02:09] how do i get wineprefixcreate? [02:09] Anyone have any ideas on how to get past a "dev/sr0 - no medium found" error when booting an ISO from a HD with Grub2? [02:09] ISO is the Pinguyos DVD [02:09] KM0201: I'm using Unetbootin [02:10] KM0201: The live boot is working fine except the intsallation [02:10] sorry.. out of here :) [02:10] @km0201 !!!https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoDeb!!! [02:10] kalle90: very strange... did you "manually" download the ISO from ubuntu.com, or did you let unetbootin download it? [02:11] KM0201: I did it manually [02:11] kalle90: i have no logical explanation for you... if it were me, i'd probaby try making the USB again, see if that resolves the issue. [02:11] hilarie: interesting.. predict massive fail when that thing rolls out..lol [02:12] IRCLemur: Use this template to create your grub.cfg (if you're using an Ubuntu 10.10 iso): http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F [02:12] KM0201, the command mkdir makes a directory. what is the command to delete, remove, trash, kick a field goal with a directory? [02:12] whats a good gui based ftp client ? [02:12] KM0201: I've tried that.. Maybe if i try another usb-stick [02:12] Hrm, no love. Ran the apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source and it still had the same legacy driver under the STA drivers, and it still fails with an Archive error. [02:12] kalle90: that was gonna be my second suggestions.. some USB's, just dont' co-operate well with live installs (although usualy they don't boot) [02:13] KM0201: Thank's for the tips, i'll give it another try tomorrow.. [02:13] Jordan_U, I've been editing the 40_custom file in /etc/grub.d then updating grub... [02:13] i'm not sure who sent me the rm command, but it's chaos2358 that needs it [02:13] !rm | chaos2358 [02:13] chaos2358: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:13] Jordan_U, Could you please tell me the grub.cfg file location & if I will need to update grub? :) [02:14] IRCLemur: Add an entry following the template on that page to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then run "sudo update-grub". [02:15] Is it just me, or is ubuntu the perfect OS to give to people who are computer stupid? set up the stuff they need, and don't give them a the sudo p/w? [02:16] hilarie, if you set it up right, but that is any Linux OS. [02:16] JuJuBee: can you boot into ubuntu 10.04? [02:17] Ah, ok,. I was right this [14e4:4320] (rev 02) == The 4306. [02:17] NixGeek: yes [02:17] hilarie: only thing that sucks, is w/o a sudo pw, they can't update the system. [02:17] Kintanon: ok, but that link, still says 4306/2, should work fine w/ the b43 [02:18] Everything else I've seen says the 4306/2 is b43legacy only. [02:18] Anyone have any success getting webdav to work in Nautilus? I am not. [02:18] JuJuBee: boot into it and in a terminal run sudo update-grub [02:18] When I run sudo apt-get update on a 10.04 system I get this message: Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe. I think "Ign" stands for ignore, as I can't get the package list there. Any help? [02:18] And both the legacy and the regular fail with errors. [02:18] @Villein but ubuntu is pretty, and that's important to people who shouldn't be using computers... [02:18] @km0201 http://paste.ubuntu.com/561220/ [02:18] That Ign error repeats a number of times [02:18] Kintanon: its right there on the broadcom page, that says b4306/2, is for b43 [02:18] What did I do wrong? [02:18] NixGeek: ok, be back soon... [02:19] JuJuBee: I thnk the UUID of /dev/sda5 is messed up in the boot config. that should fix it. I will say, you gotta love this script, I wish I had know about it a long time ago. [02:19] hilarie: well, firstthing (i deleted the directorynow) but i did n otice, it doesn't have a "configure" file in the main directory... [02:19] NixGeek: want me to then try to boot 10.10 after update-grub [02:19] KM0201, got it and got it. I actually just found the original link i used to add and then instead of gedit and adding a string to fstab i deleted it. would you like the link for your own personal reference? [02:19] @km0201 Ha! [02:19] hilarie, it should be important to have good design to us all. Good design for non-power users means a well thought out GUI. But I always like well thought out design. [02:19] hilarie: :) [02:20] chaos2358: naa, thats ok.. thank you though. [02:20] chaos2358: i can probably rassle it up if i need to. [02:20] ok thanx [02:20] All of the b43 firmware installers return errors when I use them. Do they not like other wireless cards being active or something wtf.... [02:20] @aldenIsZen I fix people's computers on a casual basis, I out of all the windows systems I fix, it's always people who install things to make there computers look pretty that break them the most.. [02:21] @km0201 Is it possible for me to just run the install.pl thingy and hope for the best? [02:21] hilarie: if i'm not mistaken, it has a "install.pl" file..? [02:22] hilarie: if i were a betting man.. i'd say... "chmod +x name_of_script then ./name_of_script just make sure you're in the right directory [02:22] Hi - would anybody know if Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 supports the Lenovo touch screen AIO's? [02:22] @km0201 so chmod + install.pl ? [02:22] hilarie, that is a good point. But I would challenge you that it is the people using non-well designed software that break it. Like i almost broke Ubuntu with a Windows 7 theme. I just wanted to compare. Had it non been done incorrectly I wouldn't of had issues, like I don't with most things I install in Ubunt,. [02:22] hey y'all [02:22] hilarie: chmod +x install.pl [02:23] i lost the ubuntu data,when ubuntu one was beta, i upload some data,it was lost now,where i can get them back,? [02:23] Ok, sort of joy... I got the b43 firwmare to install, BUT the gui is still telling me the firmware is not installed still. this is annoying. [02:24] hi all I got a small problem , all my panels are locked I whant to unlock them but Ubuntu tweak seams tu run into brochen package and do not allow me to see the option to unlock all panel , any idea on how I fix that ? [02:24] I can't for the life of me figure out why I can still see open ports in my config -> http://pastebin.com/3gnxay3r [02:24] any one can help me? [02:24] @AldenIsZen You can't fix stupid, I had to reroll my ubuntu for killing something in the upperright hand corner of the screen, I couldn't get it back, so I reformatted, and why did I break my ubuntu? Uglyness... [02:24] hilarie: unfortunately, it looks like the install.pl has an error (or at least it erroed out on me) [02:24] anybody have an opinion with running Ubuntu as far as GPU's go...ATI or NVIDIA? [02:24] !chat [02:24] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [02:24] Lazzlo: Nvidia. [02:25] ok..thanks... [02:25] @km0201 it didn't even have the decency to err out on me hilarie@ebilKitty:/usr/local/src/snm$ chmod +x install.pl === aron__ is now known as narothepharoh [02:25] hilarie@ebilKitty:/usr/local/src/snm$ [02:25] marcelle: run 'gconf-editor' apps>panel and search for the lock value [02:25] that at least helps me narrow down my search for a new machine.. [02:25] hilarie: thats not when you get the error. [02:25] how do i get wineprefixcreate? [02:25] when you type ./install.pl is when you'll get the error (line 23 i think) [02:25] hilarie, I have removed everything form the upper right-hand side, and never had to reformat. [02:25] Hey y'all [02:26] xangua thank's for the help [02:26] Happened to me at 13 [02:26] im from texas [02:26] hilarie: well, we got different errors then..lol [02:26] Yes, but did you want that stuff back at the upper right hand corner later :P [02:26] Can someone help refresh my memory with networking? [02:26] are any of the touch screen PC's good for running Ubuntu? [02:26] NixGeek: Thanks for your help. I am now into 10.10 [02:26] Yes, I have moved it all back, but then again this is 10.10 and it was easier.. [02:26] Like I said, beter desgin. [02:26] @km0201 This mean this is a buggy piece of software best left not installed? [02:27] Why is it so hard to edit the GRUB? [02:27] groub or grub2? [02:27] hilarie: i probablyl wouldnt mess with it, but thats my opinon.... i'd never try and keep a new user from bricking their system a few tiems.. its how we all learn.. :) [02:27] HElp i cant make work the intel gma 3150 on BT4 [02:27] GRUB2. Trying to remove other Ubuntu versions listed in the GRUB. [02:27] Hi briansoule_! [02:27] Anyone for some help with network? [02:27] Aha, mine is a Rev 2. According to this: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 it uses the legacy firmware. [02:28] Hey [02:28] Fedora is better [02:28] JuJuBee: your welcome, the problem was that (somehow) the UUID (sting of nubers that identifies a partition) was wring inyour grub.cfg file, in case your wondering or have the problem any time in the future. I g2g, bye! [02:28] hardliner: just uninstall the kernels [02:28] There are probably plenty of network admins here... Is there a way I can ping a set of IP address in the background, and only when there is an error with the ping it gets logged or I get a prompt for it? [02:28] ubuntu one problem,lost files!help me!!

[02:30] ey does anybody know how can I make the pointer to a be a cross like Excel in openoffice calc? === king_kong is now known as lionel_messi [02:30] hardliner: do you want to actually uninstall them, or just remove them from grub? [02:30] Just remove them from GRUB. [02:31] stone_: i have never used ubuntu one but i believe there is a channel for it [02:31] This is unbelievably infuriating. [02:31] hey can someone help me my headphones dont work on ubuntu..... [02:31] i'm email snpresent@yahoo.com.cn [02:32] Kintanon: i dont' really know what to tell you, you're dealing with two conflicting pieces of info.. b43legacy is obviously not working.. so try b43? [02:32] I did. [02:32] Kintanon: which the faq says is what you need anyway [02:32] Kintanon: and, what happened? [02:32] KM0201: Nothing. The card ignores it. The system still tells me the firmware is missing, and the "Additional Drivers" utility wants to install the b43legacy firmware and fails. [02:32] xangua what the channel detail [02:33] Kintanon: i dunno, i have no logical explanation. [02:33] stone_: #ubuntuone i believe [02:33] hey my headphones arent working on ubuntu but they do on windows.... can anyone help me?

[02:35] AldenIsZen: no [02:35] KM0201: Thanks anyways, I'll distract myself with a different project for a bit then come back to it. [02:35] Have you tried the output tab uner sound prefs?

[02:36] What device is selected? [02:36] skutr3, in the terminal type --> alsactl init [02:37] ok g_0_0 [02:37] sandyd: not really sure how thats relevant to Kintanon 's problem, he has a totally different device [02:37] hardware is using a generic method g_0_0 [02:37] not to mention, a totally different problem [02:37] skutr3, do you have sound now? [02:37] AldenIsZen: I don't have a clue on where to try to find that. I do a search for GRUB on Support and it lists multiple links. [02:38] hold on [02:38] hardliner, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:38] i do g_0_0 thanks [02:39] Nice to see that network-manager still fails to connect to the strongest signal when there are overlapping SSIDS (/not) [02:39] skutr3, you can also adjust the volume of each channel with alsamixer -> just type alsamixer in the terminal [02:39] anyone know how to modify /etc/fstab so that my windows part of my harddrive auto loads on startup??

I am using the same configuration and for my old dell laptop for which is being used by niece for playing games.

[03:32] it says cannot mount cd for install cd [03:32] Anyone have any success with webdav in Nautilus? [03:32] whisperkiller: no idea, never try it that way [03:32] whisperkiller: because it looks for a cd mount, not a usb mount... i thought i told you that earlier.

[03:35] km0201 must be because that was the first time you spoke since i entered the room lol [03:35] nope nothing [03:35] ts_: no.. booting from USB is not the problem.. the usb will boot the alternate cd fine.. but the alternate cd, looks for specific packages on the cd, to start the install process.. and it can't find htem because they are on the usb [03:35] did you use Ubuntu's Startup Disk Creator to create your usb ? [03:35] ts_ yes i did [03:35] ts_: creating/booting the usb is not the issue. [03:35] does ubuntu start at all? [03:35] i just lost my windows installation because i tried to restore it back to factory settings from an image on a dvd, but the image was faulty and it wiped everything, so now im stuck with ubuntu [03:36] :( [03:36] rudi: what version of windows? [03:36] whisperkiller, i don't think alternate will work from USB, i believe you need a LiveCD for that to work (not 100%) [03:36] windows 7 professional [03:36] km0201 is there a way to bypass this? I am trying to isntall to a laptop using a usb and the desktop install just hangs and wont do anything for some reason [03:36] probably going to have to buy recovery discs from lenovo [03:36] ZykoticK9: : it wont.. and whisperkiller no.. there's not. [03:37] rudi: maybe... PM? [03:37] rudi: Haha "stuck with ubuntu" [03:37] omg thats great....i was told in here earlier today that it would. what a waste of time [03:37] rudi: I feel that way when someone forces me to boot into Windows for some reason. That's why I laughed. [03:37] could somoene help me?? i'm not seeing the utf8 part of my filenames properly on my ubuntu 10.10 system. [03:38] they appear as question marks [03:38] The character encoding is set to UTF8 and i'm using the program "ftp" via terminal [03:38] its not that bad [03:39] which is weird because the live version works fine with desktop usb i just cant get it to install for some reason [03:39] i love ubuntu but theres some things that i just want windows for [03:39] whisperkiller, did you successfully boot to the live version from usb? [03:39] Burzmali, using the eject button doesn't umount cds on my 10.04 install (i actually assumed it was going to work, amazingly it just kicked out the cd and ubuntu still showed the cd icon on desktop) [03:40] okay serious problem. I shutdown my computer in order to move locations, everything was fine. I go to boot up and Grub runs into a problem. It can't find any deviced hd1, which is where Ubuntu is stored aparently. I have a Wubi install if that matters. Really need to fix this [03:40] yes i can get live to run fine with the regular desktop 10.10 === bullgard4_ is now known as bullgard4 [03:40] whisperkiller, when does it hang?

[03:41] instead of writing one line for each time [03:41] i tried both x64 and 32 bit versions [03:42] whisperkiller, are you trying to do a dual boot installation [03:42] paissad: yes, and if you have the desktop addition there is a gui to help you set it up easy [03:42] Zykotick9: My bigger problem is that it fails to mount new CDs inserted after the first. [03:42] no trying a fresh install [03:43] sacarlson, tell me [03:43] even wiped the hard drive....this laptop belongs to a freind....brand new laptop and windows was corrupted [03:43] sacarlson, which gui tool ? [03:43] whisperkiller, boot livecd, install gparted, format the hard disk and try to reinstall again [03:43] Burzmali, have you tried using the umount (or eject) command? Does it work properly if you umount it properly? [03:43] paissad: the gui tool package gnome-schedule [03:43] i tried that [03:43] <_vaibhav_> is there any solution to fix crashing of xserver on 10.04? [03:43] okay serious problem. I shutdown my computer in order to move locations, everything was fine. I go to boot up and Grub runs into a problem. It can't find any deviced hd1, which is where Ubuntu is stored aparently. I have a Wubi install if that matters. Really need to fix this [03:44] _vaibhav_, you need to be more specific, my Xorg doesn't crash on 10.04 [03:44] um [03:44] xil: Did you install Ubuntu through windows? [03:44] cvandal, xil said it was Wubi - so yes [03:44] i reinstalled xp lost grub and cant boot to a cd cause it frezzes [03:44] cvandal: yes [03:44] any ideas? [03:44] anyone know if there is something comparable to fraps for linux? [03:45] Zykotick9: Yeah, that works fine, but it is a problematic to exit to a terminal or shell when in the middle of a multi disk install [03:45] Burzmali, ya, i've run into that issue before as well. Best of luck. [03:46] xil: Nevermind, you just said wubi. You'll want to use your recovery CD, open a command prompt and use bootrec.exe /fmb. [03:46] whisperkiller, are you installing on laptop? [03:46] yes [03:46] whisperkiller, have you installed the latest bios ? [03:46] whisperkiller, how old is the laptop? [03:47] its brand new [03:47] cvandal: your used of .exe tells me this is a windows recovery CD? [03:47] whisperkiller, make, model? [03:47] she just bought the damn thing and windows 7 somehow got corrupt [03:47] hp presario [03:47] <_vaibhav_> ZykoticK9: after some time my pc automatically logged off, so in dmesg, found that xserver is crashing.. [03:48] whisperkiller: any particular reason you don't reinstall 7? [03:48] xil: Yes. Based on the use of wubi.exe, windows is your main OS I'm guessing. [03:48] cvandal: not by choice, but yes [03:48] * KM0201 sympathizes with wubi users === freddiespagheti is now known as chottis [03:49] whisperkiller, what's the model number? [03:49] @ AldenISZen thx for the help it worke [03:49] worked* [03:49] xil: Haha, no worries. Same boat. Nearly died when this error popped up for me. [03:49] cool... a root did it? [03:49] I saw you come back luis_ but you left before I could respond. [03:49] no clue honestly [03:49] a reboot* did it [03:50] cvandal: my heart went through the floor. I know that some of the Win7 recovery stuff is different from older versions of Windows, do you know that this will work for Win7? [03:50] yeah [03:50] as you can probably tell im quite new to linux [03:50] Someitmes you have to use a third party program like bitpim. [03:50] CQ62 looks like [03:50] xil: I myself am running win7 premium and it did the trick flawlessly. [03:50] I use my bluetooth myself [03:51] Anyone here can help me with webdav and Nautilus? [03:52] cvandal: awesome, thank you. Clarification though, I pop in the Win7 disk, boot from it, load the recovery console and then put bootrec.exe /fmb [03:52] Can ubuntu be installed on a droid.. jc === Hilarie_away is now known as Hilarie [03:54] xil: That is correct. /fmb literally stands for fix master boot. What happened was grub modified it during the update. There is a way to do it with the LiveCD as well, but I can't speak to it really. I didn't go that route because I wasn't 100% certain if it would break the windows boot record further. [03:55] Hi, is sata3 supported in current distribution? Any possible troubles with it?

It makes me convert everything to a .wav. Help appreciated [04:15] @ts_ w/o the window pings then suicides w/o a chance for me to see anything [04:15] i think thats a bit beyond my comprehension [04:15] if webmin isnt supported there will may be way for supported one? greppy [04:15] join #kubuntu [04:16] i mean something similar to webmin [04:16] Hilarie: are you double-clicking the file to execute the script?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:10] bazhang, 10.10 [05:10] lexvegas, was there a bug report or some error you could pastebin for us please [05:10] pepee: but the mtu is still posible, I would try to change that on your interface [05:10] sacarlson, this is fixed by rebooting the machine [05:11] :) [05:11] I need help with virtualation in Ubuntu, [05:11] cane99, then ask a question [05:11] pepee: I'm clueless, how could reboot change only some sites? [05:11] I don't want to use virtualbox, what else it out there? [05:11] bazhang, I am not sure, I just was poking around in synaptic and discovered the error message. ill pastebin the error from synaptic [05:11] !vm > cane99 [05:11] cane99, please see my private message [05:12] lexvegas, okay [05:12] sacarlson, I don't really know... [05:12] can someone help me with this; the idea is for the computer to change the mac address every 30 seconds or less and for it to get a new ip also, however with the network being encrypted it keeps prompting for a password after my mac changes so is there a way for my mac to change but for me to not to have to keep inputting my password?? ive done this so far http://pastie.org/1520532 [05:13] pepee: well when you reboot your wifi gives you a new ip address, can you disconect and reconnect does that change anything? [05:13] bazhang, not much to it, but here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/561266/ [05:13] bazhang, trying to upgrade 0.6.6-3 to 0.6.6-4 [05:13] sacarlson, I'll try [05:14] needlez, why would you ever want to do that. [05:14] arrrghhh: cisco [05:14] goos mornin all, and bazhang [05:14] needlez, explain. it sounds like you're hacking [05:14] arrrghhh: network bruteforcing with wireshark, [05:15] arrrghhh: no preventing hacking [05:15] i have a problem http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4868/delugep.png [05:16] these rooms are so abrasive to people, ask a question and your treated like your dumb, which keeps people away [05:16] arrrghhh: we have a network with one wireless and one wired computer both with are being attacked with wireshark and aircrack-ng to try to deauth me, its a project were working on in network class [05:16] A_J, you're not connected to the internet in that picture [05:16] which** [05:16] oh, and general error I found today, and im not sure where to report it, but the ubuntu help program, from the system menu, is showing help for 11.04 [05:16] i am.. [05:17] so any ideas?? [05:17] A_J, the little computer icons have an 'x' next to them.. [05:17] sacarlson, btw could connect under SOCKS proxy [05:17] lexvegas, that one is known, but the libc6 one you pasted seems quite serious; have you filed a bug [05:17] * A_J takes the screenshot again.. one sec [05:18] is there any good web-based SVN repository managers? Manage repo-s, permissions, users, etc via web based interface [05:18] pepee: so does that point again to the isp? [05:18] bazhang, I haven't, and i also have no experience doing so. is there a guide to follow somewhere? [05:18] A_J, try another client and pastebin the error if any ; transmission, for example: what version of Ubuntu is that by the way [05:18] sacarlson, don't think so. again, this gets fixed if I reboot [05:18] !bugs | lexvegas please see this [05:18] lexvegas please see this: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [05:18] hello === Dotoff is now known as Dotted [05:19] sacarlson, oh, btw, in wireshark I can see a lot of LLC packets (don't know what they are) [05:19] bazhang, thanks [05:19] i need help with my ubuntu [05:19] !ask | jose-neto [05:19] jose-neto: 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. :-) [05:19] can anyone help me ? [05:19] needlez, so is this something that you're supposed to figure out? [05:19] jose-neto, please specify [05:20] needlez: I'm not sure I should be helping you but you should look at wpasupplicant [05:20] sacarlson, I think this is related to my router [05:20] my Coby mp3 player is not being recognized by ubuntu [05:20] well were supposed to make it so it can't attack the computers or deauth them, but I made a script to stop them from getting the mac addresses since they keep changing [05:20] jose-neto, using which software, which ones have you tried please name them [05:20] sacarlson, but the firewall is disabled [05:20] Ok, I'm using kubuntu, but I use a few Gnome apps (namely Evolution) and I need to configure some default apps for them. Is there a gui Gnome Desktop config program I can install? [05:21] sacarlson: its not illegal, its for a school project and please explain wpa supplicant to me [05:21] needlez, yea but we can't help with school projects either. [05:21] I have an issue with playing a DVD in Ubuntu 10.10. I have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed, as well as the libdvdread4 package that the wiki says I need.

[05:21] jose-neto, keep it here not in PM or dcc [05:21] getting an unsupported bios [05:21] ok [05:21] I need the helps please [05:21] needlez: you said you needed a password I assume wep or wpa so you should use wpa-suplicant to auto password login [05:22] Andorin, try mplayer [05:22] Andorin, you ran the script? [05:22] needlez: if it's a redirect login then I would use something different [05:22] sacarlson: how can it do auto login?? like wpa-suppicant -i wlan0 but where or how would i put the password into it? [05:22] bazhang: What script? === jesse_ is now known as JesseD [05:23] Andorin, what about installing libdvdcss2 and mplayer from medibuntu.org [05:23] hey, does anyone know how I can find out what apps/services take (the most) time during boot/login? Thanks [05:23] bazhang, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/711601 I found this before I submitted. Clicking that it affects me is enough, right? [05:23] i am just trying to open it to put music and retrieve the music and use it as a flash drive as i did on windows [05:23] Andorin, ubuntu-restricted-extras is already installed correct? [05:23] arrrghhh: and the school and teacher didn't say we couldn't ask the IRC for help so that was the first place I turned [05:23] needlez, type in the console: man wpa_supplicant [05:23] bazhang: That's right, as I said [05:23] lexvegas, seems so, may want to follow up on it [05:23] what can i use to watch .wmv files? [05:23] Andorin, then try what I just suggested [05:23] bazhang, thanks [05:24] paq7512, mplayer [05:24] mplayer give me audio, no video === namat33 is now known as aroman [05:24] needlez, yea but when i see people asking for this or that for homework on the forums, we don't help - same applies here. [05:24] jose-neto, which music software are you trying this with [05:24] paq7512: vlc [05:24] needlez: I think you want wpa-cli see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant [05:24] i guess we can help point you in the right direction [05:24] vlc does the same audio no video [05:25] i havent tried with any music software yet [05:25] arrghhh: that would be appreciated [05:25] paq7512, paste the output [05:25] paq7512, what arch are you on 32 or 64bit [05:25] 64 [05:25] !paste | paq7512 [05:25] paq7512: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. [05:26] ta [05:26] Stealthys: still broken? [05:27] well as you can see i have an ipv6 address now. but if i enable ipv6 forwarding to get radvd to work nothing works. even after adding the default route [05:29] debian offers a netinst, network install, cd image, for those of us who don't want to download a 650 meg iso. is there such a thing for ubuntu? [05:29] samantha-, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/netinst [05:29] will try #networking [05:30] i'm trying to connect to a vnc server on my latop, using putty tunneled through ssh on my desktop. when i try to connect to the loopback address i get "connection refused", my firewall is turned off [05:30] i keep getting 'unknown host' when i try to ftp from my server to http://ftp.drupal.org/the-download-i-want.gz - this works fine from my other shell box. is there a host conf i need to make? [05:30] do i need to add my loopback address to my /etc/hosts.allow? [05:30] hello fellow Ubuntu'ers any audio experts here? [05:30] fridgerator: if you are tunneling using putty to your desktop, the loopback address is of your desktop, not your laptop. [05:31] greppy right but to connect to the ssh tunnel putty creates, you have to use the loopback address to connect to the tunnel [05:32] Hi, does anyone here have experience with multiple monitors in ubuntu? [05:32] hi === cyberjorge__ is now known as cyberjorge [05:32] did an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 today and now i have a flapping NIC... anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/561268/ ?

[05:34] bazhang: Installing libdvdcss2 from medibuntu appears to have done it... now works in VLC... thanks [05:34] vnc server* [05:34] how can i build GStreamer Application? [05:34] HNVIRU, why would you want to [05:34] fridgerator: then it is binding to your public IP and not your loopback for some reason.

[05:35] jose-neto, what music software have you troed [05:35] greppy on my laptop (server) or desktop (client)?

Any help? [05:39] At that point the default is no longer gnome? [05:39] EnrgySmth, still gnome. [05:40] EnrgySmth: Unity is just a shell like gnome-panel, gnome-shell, etc. It doesn't replace any more of GNOME than us using Firefox instead of Epiphany does. [05:40] linuxrunner, whats run with the restricted driver for nvidia ? [05:40] Ah - thanks [05:40] avis, I don't understand the question [05:40] linuxrunner, why not use the restricted driver ? [05:40] can anyone suggest how to build GUI interface for player in GStreamer on ubuntu? [05:41] It replaced it because it wouldn't let me boot up. It always went straight to tty1. [05:41] I will try to read up on it - am an old Fedora user, jumping camps to Ubuntu... have not kept up on things [05:41] thanks guys [05:41] HNVIRU: do you know C or another programming language?

I still get file not found for alsamixer === Dotoff is now known as Dotted [06:05] then it booted up in a read only fily system [06:05] (i read somewhere this is for security purposes [06:06] JesseDel, Did you do - sudo apt-get install alsamixer ? [06:06] is there a way to get out of the read only file system? [06:06] Hilarie: np [06:06] nVee: please don't use the enter key as punctuation. it makes it harder to read you === Hilarie_away is now known as Hillary [06:07] it also spreads hiv [06:07] Okay Rww [06:07] the bootdelay i am talking about it to make the grub wait and not time out so soon as my sata drive is not ready before it errors out and returns to BusyBox [06:07] nVee, how did your system ended up as a read-only file system? [06:07] could someone help me with samba? i'm having problems getting folders shared on my network [06:07] g_0_0, it says it's unable to locate package [06:07] cantchoos, wrong channel [06:07] sacarlson: i think its an issue with the wpa_supplicant.conf file... this how mine is setup if you can help that'd be awesome http://pastie.org/1520631 [06:07] nVee, as you using some kind of Live CD/USB configuration? [06:08] JesseDel, sorry it may be - sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer [06:09] nVee, I know most people wont agree with what I'm about to say but if your not a Hardcore Linux user and are use to windows(GUI) env. then I suggest you use Webmin that way you can manage your server [06:09] reya276: Guys sorry I am very very new at ubuntu so my knowledge is very limited. I think the main issue was I had to edit the fstab file for some apache ispconfig thing I installed [06:09] g_0_0, I'm thinking it's a driver installation problem because the /proc/asound/cards directory does not exist anymore [06:09] hello all [06:09] I can change the grub.cgf but it just get wiped again when i use update-grub [06:10] reya276: You are 100% correct, my issue is now just I need to get the files off the server, that is my main objective, so that I can shut it down (down with wasting my time with it) [06:10] !hi [06:10] nVee, oh yeah that would do it, if you changed a setting on fstab [06:10] reya276: The problem is I am in read only mode now, so I cannot remove the entry in fstab [06:11] g_0_0, that worked and returned gnome-alsamixer is already the newest version. [06:11] Is there an alternative way to edit the fstab file when in read only mode so that I can remove the entry I made and restart the server? [06:11] nVee, in order to do that then you will need to do sudo nano /etc/fstab [06:11] I am looking for someone to answer a ? about using TOR [06:11] Also, I ran it and it's blank [06:11] reya276: I already did that, it keeps saying its a read only file system. [06:11] nVee, that will allow you to edit the fstab file [06:11] I ran gnome-alsamixer [06:11] in gparted, does the format drive option also just erase a partition? [06:11] Mindkontrol: best to just ask the question and see if someone knows the answer ;) [06:11] Does anyone use TOR to run hidden_services? [06:12] nVee, then you did not do something correctly and the read only is still active [06:12] i trryied banshee but no hope [06:12] nVee, can you pastebin you fstab file [06:12] reya276: On boot up, it gives me a mount error with 2 options, Skip or manual repair, so far I have only skipped mounting [06:13] reya276, I sure can :) [06:13] just waiting for it to boot up [06:13] Does anyone use TOR to run hidden_services? [06:13] Mindkontrol: best to just ask the question and see if someone knows the answer ;) [06:13] reya276: Thank you for your help so far :) I really need this (my head is on the block this morning) [06:13] JesseDel, what does - lsmod | grep -i snd - give you? [06:14] g_0_0, jesse@jesse-Ubuntu:~$ lsmod | grep -i snd [06:14] snd_page_alloc 8748 0 [06:14] I am trying to setup tor hidden_services to hide my ident in irc [06:15] nVee, trust me I've been there many times, folks here would love to help everyone but sometimes they get overwhelmed [06:15] JesseDel, is that all? === Dotted is now known as Dotoff [06:15] g_0_0, yep, that's all === christian is now known as Guest22151 [06:16] JesseDel, Have you tried rebooting since you reinstalled? [06:16] nVee, if you live in Florida you can always get some tech suport from our Florida Loco Support Group #ubuntu-us-fl [06:16] g_0_0, several times. I can try again [06:16] reya276: I stay in South-Africa :) [06:17] nVee, maybe not this late at night but during the day we are always there at least til 11pm [06:17] reya276: On bootup, it gives me options for normal or recovery mode [06:17] nVee, oh nevermind tyhen [06:17] JesseDel, if you reinstalled alsa-utils and gnome-alsamixer it might be an idea to reboot [06:18] nVee, if I can't solve your issue I suggest go into recovery mode and see what options it provides [06:18] nVee, is the main OS install on /dev/sdb1? [06:20] s [06:20] nVee, your main install drive line for the fstab file should look like this '/ ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1' [06:21] reya276: The issue is I cannot edit that file [06:21] AT ALL [06:21] badblocks offers 3 operation modes: i.) (without a switch) »read-only test«, ii.) (switch -n) »non-destructive read-write test«. iii.) (switch -w) »write-mode test«. Where is described precisely what badblocks does there? [06:22] nVee, well do you get a login prompt? also what version of Ubuntu are you using and is it the actual server or desktop version [06:23] can anyone help me with vbox installation? [06:24] !vbox | chaos2358 [06:24] chaos2358: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox === gaurav__ is now known as Guest62385 [06:25] g_0_0, when I type bash alsa-info.sh I get the following [06:26] jesse@jesse-Ubuntu:~$ bash alsa-info.sh --stdout [06:26] cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory [06:26] grep: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory [06:26] cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory [06:26] cat: /proc/asound/modules: No such file or directory [06:26] grep: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory [06:26] JesseDel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:26] bullgard4: have you looked at 'man badblocks'? [06:26] JesseDel, Did you reboot? [06:26] I did [06:27] JesseDel, have you tried to cd to those directories? [06:27] can someone advise on how to disable/remove rsyslog on ubuntu 10.10? [06:27] yes. they are not there [06:27] update-rc.conf remove doens't work [06:27] sysv-rc-conf doesn't seem to work [06:27] i still havent had any luck [06:28] how do i reset my notify-osd setting [06:28] ok so I erased my window partition, how can I tell gparted that I want to use the 584 GB of space I just freed for ubuntu? [06:29] KatronixSerf: just tell the installer to use the largest free space available, or you can use custom partitioning to make a /, /home and swap partition as you see fit [06:29] JesseDel, try - sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils [06:29] ActionParsnip, what if I already have ubuntu installed? [06:30] KatronixSerf: then why are you running the installer if it's already installed? [06:30] I'm not, I just ran gparted to get rid of windows [06:30] KatronixSerf: ahhh i see [06:31] KatronixSerf: It sounds like you're trying to resize your partition. First, *back up your data*. Then, edit your existing Ubuntu partition and select to resize it. This should be done from outside the partition, so boot from an Ubuntu USB or CD. [06:31] KatronixSerf: then create a new partition in the space and format it to ext4, you can then either set the mount in /etc/fstab to mount it at boot,or leave it and manually mount it in the Places menu when you need it [06:31] KatronixSerf: I am assuming you only need Ubuntu and simply want to use the space for data storage [06:32] ActionParsnip, yes, I was kind of hoping to use it as my /home [06:32] Can ONLY please help me on how do I get out of a read only file system? [06:32] g_0_), I'm trying to use the paste to not flood. Here is the result:http://paste.ubuntu.com/561282/ [06:33] KatronixSerf: creating the space as a separate mount is the "safer" option. If you want to mount it as /home, backup your current /home, format it to the filesystem of your choice, and then edit your fstab to point to the uuid of the partition and use /home as the mount point. [06:34] KatronixSerf: thats fine,if you format it to ext4 you can then add this in /etc/fstab UUID=9748a2c4-370d-458c-9fd7-c43c5e17bcd1 /home ext4 defaults 0 2 [06:34] wait [06:34] tohuw, currently I don't have a /home partition [06:34] KatronixSerf: your UUID will be different, you can learn the UUID by running: sudo blkid [06:34] ok [06:35] Loshki: Yes, I have. [06:35] nVee: boot to live CD and fsck the partition [06:35] KatronixSerf: you will then need to copy the home data to the new /home partition (or simply make new) [06:35] KatronixSerf: you have an existing /home directory though. You need to back that up. [06:36] ActionParsnip: Will that cause any issues with my files? Do I risk loosing any files on the server? [06:36] sorry to repeat, but i stepped out: how can i stop rsyslog and sshd from starting at boot? [06:36] update-rc didn't do it, sysv-rc-conf doesn't either [06:36] KatronixSerf: when you edit fstab to mount a filesystem to a location, you need to do something with any files existing in that location. [06:37] s/any files/any files already [06:37] JesseDel, did you uninstall all those packages first - sudo apt-get purge linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils [06:37] ActionParsnip, how do I move the file from my current /home to the new /home ? [06:37] JesseDel, then reinstall ? [06:37] okay, so can anybody think of the reason i cant run an executable .sh in the dir the terminal is currently in? [06:37] ati-installer: you using a full path ? [06:37] g_0_0, No I did not [06:37] atlantide: Permissions. [06:37] bullgard4: were you looking for explanations for all 3 cases? === piercedw_ is now known as piercedwater [06:38] Loshki: Yes. [06:38] So I just got my Ubuntu 10.04 server running. I have played with SSH, SMB and FTP...what else should I play with via my MBP?

I am having this issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-mentors@lists.debian.org/msg62260.html -- I could fix it by logging into the chroot and modifying the file he describes then saving the changes to the chroot, but that doesnt seem like what he is suggesting I do.

[06:45] hey how to use my system as handset for mobile [06:45] and i do own the directory [06:46] JesseDel, Can you install the driver with modprobe?

[06:47] JesseDel: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh Thanks [06:48] KatronixSerf: you will just need to copy the folder named your username, you should most likely do it in a root recovery console so none of the files are locked [06:48] !home [06:48] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept.

[06:56] ActionParsnip, ^^ [06:56] linuxrunner: then you are misusing your OS and have screwed the file, boot to root recovery mode and chown the file BACK to your user [06:57] Suddenly my fonts are thin and jagged however they use to be thicker and smooth. Any ideas on how to address this? [06:57] I don't know how to chown the file back [06:57] When I login (using ssh) and on a bash shell, I get a "[: 320: 12: unexpected operator" warning. Its after the motd, but none of my .bashrc /etc/profile has any conditional that might cause this? [06:57] ActionParsnip, thanks Ive been trying to reinstall the driver without success. But, I'll try again. Also, do you know when/how these directories get built? http://paste.ubuntu.com/561286/ [06:58] Please anyone ... My fstab file is broken and it does not mount my / drive on load, giving a read only fily system. I cannot edit the fstab file because it is in read only, but that is the only way to do it. Anyone able to give me ANY idea how to fix this? [06:58] nVee, boot up from cd, then edit it [06:58] hey is there any command so that i can see my active blue tooth devices or i can search the bluetooth devices [06:58] nVee: yes, download and burn the Live CD then you will be able to edit the fstab [06:58] KatronixSerf: I only have the server install CD, which does not contain liveCD [06:58] gpc, can you perhaps give me a url to the liveCD version [06:59] nVee sudo gedit /etc/fstab [06:59] linuxrunner: you will need to run: cd /home; ls you will then see your username. You can then run: chown -R foo:foo ./foo replace foo with your username like this: chown -R andy:andy ./andy [06:59] nVee: www.ubuntu.com [06:59] dont want to download something the wrong package [06:59] nVee that will let you edit fstab [06:59] linuxrunner: if you misuse your OS you WILL get issues [06:59] chaos2358: I tried that [07:00] nobody has any idea why i cant run this script with a parameter? [07:00] the filesystem is "read only" [07:00] nVee, type into terminal sudo gedit /etc/fstab and you can't edit the file? [07:00] he can't [07:00] ActionParsnip, anyideas on my issue? [07:00] it is read only [07:00] nVee: it will remount as readonly as there are issues with the file system, you need to fix the file system and it will mount normally [07:00] nVee: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [07:01] sudo gedit will let you edit gpc i just did it on my other pc to auto mount a partitioned hd [07:01] ActionParsnip: The fstab file is broken, there is an incorrect parameter or something. When I boot it gives me an option to skip the mount or manual fix. Both ends up giving me a read only file ssystem [07:01] so I cannot edit the fstab file to fix it [07:01] ok i gotcha [07:01] chaos2358: did you set the boot order in the virtualbox? Did you enable the virtualbox to have a virtual CD drive? [07:01] gpc, is there no version which is small to just fix these issues, doent want to download a full desktop version for just terminial [07:01] ActionParsnip, yes and yes [07:02] is it possible for me to install and older version of X? [07:02] nVee: think of it as a rescue disk. [07:02] i am installin a software via terminal i wanna to stop that installation how to stop [07:02] help me [07:02] nVee: probably causing the issue then, if you read the fstab ubuntu doc online you can see good examples of default fstab entries and edit yours [07:02] help me [07:02] nVee: you download and burn once and then you have it just in case for next time. [07:02] juniour: ctrl-c [07:02] juniour: press CTRL+C but you may damage your OS [07:02] ActionParsnip: That I guess is the issue, but I need to first download the script [07:03] nVee: what script? [07:03] hello [07:03] How can I get a list of scripts that are run when I login? [07:03] i need help [07:03] ActionParsnip: would forcing a fsck help him maybe? [07:03] sorry, I meant ubuntu desktop [07:03] gpc: possibly, makes sense but if fstab is all screwed it could be causing issues [07:03] right [07:04] I am trying to avoid 700mb download [07:04] nVee: puppy willdo it too (assming it has ext4 abilities) [07:04] if I can do something else [07:04] Hi [07:04] I have a LVM, from 4 different HDDs. it has XFS on top of it... Now the problem is it crashes when I stress the disks a bit [07:04] I keep getting error signs next to mp3s on my iPod even though I have already installed the mpe decoders and ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:04] 3 times it said that /dev/sdf is unreadable, and 1 time that /dev/sdd + /dev/sdf are unreadable (they just didn't exist) [07:04] what does rescue a broken system do? [07:04] I wonder if there's any way I can further check this ? I tried replacing all the SATA cables, replacing the SATA controller (I have a PCI SATA controller) [07:05] ActionParsnip can i list my all active bluetooth device in terminal [07:05] chaos2358: i've not heard of 3 CDs for XP, otherwise no idea. You could try the closed source virtualbox from the virtualbox site, or you could try vmware [07:05] my ubuntu CD has an option to rescue a broken system, I am just worried that it will delete all of my user files [07:05] ActionParsnip any command to do that [07:05] ? [07:05] nVee: it won't without your permission. make sure to read before hitting enter. [07:05] juniour: do you mean bluetooth devices as in adapters, or paired devices? [07:05] paired device [07:06] or connected device [07:06] I keep getting error signs next to mp3s on my iPod even though I have already installed the mpe decoders and ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:06] ActionParsnip or for searching the bluetooth device [07:06] any command for that [07:06] ? [07:07] ActionParsnip same as lsusb we use for listing usb [07:07] like that [07:07] * soulkiller frustrated [07:07] ? [07:07] does anyone know how to apply a theme after downloading it from gnome looks? [07:07] juniour: sudo hcitool scan will scan for devices. Jesus will you lay off the enter key [07:08] juniour: if the command labels the paired devices you can grep for the label [07:08] tried to update+upgrade with aptitude, it says my libc6 will break if available update 0.6.6-3 -> 0.6.6-4 for upstart is done. whats this about? they released an update that will break systems its installed to?

Theme tab, click install button [07:09] whats the comand to see what version of x you have [07:09] ActionParsnip and for listind pair devices [07:09] Ati-Installer: apt-cache policy xorg [07:09] juniour: are the paired devices not labelled in some way? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [07:10] k [07:10] are there any reccomended free control panels fir linux / U ?

[07:25] nul: I thought that was default [07:25] ajah : you're running ubuntu 10.10 or 10.04 ? [07:25] Ascavasaion: now you meantion it...yeah seems that way [07:25] hello [07:25] joar: s/he went [07:26] what is diferent ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop? that ubuntu can set as a server even we using desktop version....??? [07:26] ko [07:26] is there a way to change the alt-tab window switching behavior in ubuntu? [07:26] i don't like what it does now (makes all windows excepted the selected one disappear) [07:26] ncxcude: the desktop OS has a graphical GUI, You can install all the server stuff you want on the desktop with no issue [07:26] ActionParsnip, I ran jesse@jesse-Ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential [07:26] Reading package lists...

[07:27] !apache [07:27] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:27] ncxcude: they replaces useless bloating stuff like GUIs by other useless bloating server-stuff [07:27] Where can I look up the commands for setting up HDD and CDROMs for VirtualBox? I want to double check what I did was correct [07:27] ncxcude: if you are happy to configure stuff in text mode and conf files and do not want to load the box with all the X stuff then server is great. If you want a desktop OS then install desktop [07:28] JesseDel: did you install the requisites outlined on the site [07:28] JesseDel: sudo apt-get -y install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext xmlto libasound2-dev linux-headers-`uname -r` libncursesw5-dev [07:28] @all: aw... thanks. so basicly graphical mode and terminal mode.... [07:29] ncxcude: yes, pretty much [07:29] ActionParsnip: yeah my mistake.. but now I set it up to only allow one user (instead of guest... the user that has access to all the folders already..), and in windows it's not accepting the l/p (but windows is forcing a domain I think) [07:29] ActionParsnip: do you know if forcing a domain will falsify a good l/p? [07:29] nul: did you set an smbpasswd for the user? [07:29] oh, no [07:29] Anarhist: #httpd for apache-stuff [07:29] ill do that now [07:29] nul: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER [07:30] Okay, I am about to boot up with liveCD [07:30] ActionParsnip, I ran sudo apt-get -y install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext xmlto libasound2-dev linux-headers-`uname -r` libncursesw5-dev. Says everything is already newt version [07:30] ActionParsnip: Can you perhaps have a look at my fstab file, I know it is probably broken. Any assistance will greatly be appreciated. http://pastebin.com/6bS1XKi0 [07:30] JesseDel: ok then all I got is this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [07:31] ActionParsnip: I did smbpasswd, but it's still not working it seems [07:31] -a? [07:31] what's -a do? [07:31] I also really need to setup a VNC server on there, or somethign similar, and none of them seem to be working heh [07:31] I have to run back to the linux box and back every time I have to make a change atm [07:31] nVee: Ive never used encrypted filesystems, so not sure dude [07:32] nul: add [07:32] ActionParsnip, thanks for your help [07:32] k [07:32] nul: what activities would you do in the VNC session? [07:33] ActionParsnip: just be able to do this troubleshooting without running back and forward [07:33] I have to get up, sit down, make changes, get up, sit down, check if changes worked [07:33] just annoying =) [07:33] nul: install openssh-server and you can use putty to run commands with [07:33] hmm [07:33] anyone know if there is a channel for gnomelooks? [07:33] good point.. even if I can't vnc, a terminal would help tremendously [07:34] hello [07:34] ActionParsnip: man I must be tired, I have no idea why I wouldn't think of such an obvious solution [07:35] can i install ubuntu on wd ears disk (4k sectors)? [07:35] ActionParsnip: do changes to smb.conf change things immediately? [07:35] nul: ssh is a great tool, you now alsohave an sftp server and can use x forwarding if you enable it in putty and run an x server (like xming) in windows [07:36] ActionParsnip: yeah, I've done this a million times.. it's just because it's running the desktop os I automatically think RDP/VNC ;) [07:36] nul: no you will need to run: sudo service smbd restart [07:36] ActionParsnip: right right.. I was TRYING to figure out the name of it, so I've been actually rebooting ;( [07:36] nul: its often very bulky, a lot of apps have web interfaces which are sleeker (especially for media players and torrents) [07:37] ActionParsnip: that's why I love VNC, it's two seconds though [07:37] and I find it very responsive [07:37] hello [07:37] nul: web interfaces will be much faster and not chew your bandwidth [07:38] ActionParsnip: it's a local machine over gigabit ethernet in this case.. and pretty much every case where I'd use VNC over ssh heh [07:38] nul: ahh Gb ethernet makes things different [07:38] yeah =) [07:39] how to mount 4k sectors on disk (wd ears) on ubuntu 10.10 [07:39] nul: still nice,plus you can forward the web interface port and control via wan :) [07:39] yeah [07:40] still, the last time I did X11 forwarding it was extremely laggy even over lan [07:41] nul: depends what you forward, and if you use the -C option to compress [07:41] ActionParsnip: so here's the deal, I have 4 folders I want to share over SMB. There is one user who has full access to them, and I want the samba client to realize this, and just gain the access rights of that login.. or just give automatic do whatever you want read only access.. [07:41] they are technically in a directory, so I just want to give access to that dir over samba, then can click any of the 4 [07:42] nul: I'm not surehow to do it that way but sshfs will do that' [07:42] sshfs? [07:42] how can I configure that? [07:42] nul: its part of the openssh-server you installed [07:42] yeah [07:42] nul: i've only had samba allow and deny access based on username [07:42] yeah [07:42] how can I do that though? [07:43] nul: i'll give you my smb.conf and you willsee [07:44] ActionParsnip: Let me rephrase [07:44] nul: http://pastebin.com/7hJ67P72 [07:44] k [07:44] anybody else experiencing https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/711601 [07:44] Or anyone for that matter, is there no way to generate a new fstab file or restore from a previous working fstab file? [07:44] weird [07:44] nul: see how the valid users are set ;) [07:44] I did exactly that, and it doesn't let me login [07:45] I've been having problems with a built in sd card reader. using dual operating systems, hardy heron and win xp. HH will not recognize sd cards when they are put into the reader, xp will. any suggestions? [07:45] nul: and the smbpasswd has been set for your user so you can login [07:45] yeah [07:45] hi. is there anything wrong with maverick repos now? I see upstart to be upgraded, but trying to upgrade it says that it will break libc ?!

[09:08] !work | upsla [09:08] upsla: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [09:08] .profile? [09:08] nautilus it can be browsed easily by clicking open [09:08] ?

[09:10] Guys if I can ask, is there no way for me now to mount this image from liveCD? Is the only option using another recoveryCD? [09:11] Gnea: yes i said it is easily opened and browsable [09:11] when i am doing pairing via terminal it says Can't create connection: Input/output error [09:11] Sly_Coyote: oh, saw the ? and thought you were asking as a question [09:11] Gnea:thank you.

[09:13] Gnea: it is not wow it is frozen throne warcraft 3 [09:13] Sly_Coyote: it's possible there's an encoding error between the program and the way that the system is reading the contents of the cdrom [09:13] I am trying two graphics cards and two monitors, and have edited the /root/xorg.conf.new When I type X -config /root/xorg.conf.new I hear the monitor clicking as it goes into graphics mode but then it freezes with nothing but a white cursor top left of monitor. Here are my /root/xorg.conf.new and /var/log/Xorg.0.log pastebin.ubuntu.com/561289 [09:13] Sly_Coyote: I understand it's not first-person, it's strategy [09:14] Gnea: yes is there a terminal code to fix said encoding error?

[09:14] ActionParsnip i am pairing via terminal to my mobile and getting error [09:14] can anybody guide me to working version of ubudsl for ubuntu 10.10. [09:14] Sly_Coyote: which is why I'm asking if you happened upon a howto or tutorial on a website somewhere to try to get this working [09:14] !dsl | upsla [09:14] upsla: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [09:14] Gnea:i need help regarding ubudsl. [09:15] if I cant be helped, if im screwed then tell me and I can then go back to my boss and tell him, but at the moment I am being given high level answers to a user which have not used ubuntu remotely long enough to even understand what to do [09:15] nV-server: We've just taken collectively something like four hours. [09:15] juniour: i don't use bluetooth, sorry [09:15] upsla: you won't get it by demanding it, sorry. [09:15] k [09:15] KB1JWQ: I am with you, but tell me what have I been told so far? [09:15] Gnea: no i didnt use a howto i used terminal install code to make the disc executable and that was pretty much it [09:15] KB1JWQ: I like your maths better [09:15] Gnea:i know that. iam sorry [09:15] not to be funny but most people get to "give me the output of fdisk -l" [09:15] I do that, and then its "oh no geez, no no you need more experience" [09:15] nV-server: We're at the point where in person we'd have asked you long ago to move and let us fix things. You're not taking the initiative to read the documentation we're providing, and you don't know how to do many things that you'll need to do to fix this. [09:16] can anybody guide me to working version of ubudsl for ubuntu 10.10. [09:16] nV-server: I saw that, I even smiled once, if you remember. [09:16] nV-server ask the question if anybody here knows then he definetly fix ur problem [09:16] hello [09:16] Gnea: it was working fine till a few hours ago so i dont get why its acting up [09:16] nV-server: let's keep this in perspective here: we are volunteers, we are not being paid for this. you are being paid and so you're expecting some level of paid competency in this arena, but you're running into a wall because you're not seeing that difference. [09:16] any1 here > [09:16] ... :O [09:17] Sly_Coyote: ah okay [09:17] hi ucenik17, yes there are 1452 users here and 2 bots as far as I can see [09:17] wow awsome [09:17] i didn' [09:17] hi could smb help me with tidylib in python [09:17] Gnea: Let me put this into a different perspective. I said I will pay, then you (and other people said) dont do it, esspecially no one from an IRC chatroom [09:17] know that about this chat :O [09:17] what I am asking is: "IS this fixable or not" [09:17] ucenik17: now you do :) [09:17] When I run X -config /root/xorg.conf.new it freezes... my Xorg.0.log file ends with "(II) Reloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libint10.s0" [09:17] yep. [09:17] if not, then im screwed and Ill take what comes my way [09:17] nV-server: Most likely yes. "Can YOU fix it" is the better question.

SEnding me a semi book to read about lvm may improve my ability to understand lvm, yes, but at this stage you also understand the pressure I am under. Most of the linux terminology I also do not understand, so reading an article about the veins in the human heart will not really benefit someone who does not understand the heart. [09:20] thanks [09:20] c_diam which version of ubuntu you are using [09:20] ? [09:20] nV-server: have you read that link?

[09:21] Sly_Coyote: I suggest you check it out - yes, there is a bit of a cost associated with it, so if you have an issue with that, we might be able to get it to work, but there's a chance that it won't, I haven't had much success with many games like that without cedega before, and it's well worth it [09:21] i did ask 3 times [09:21] well twice now [09:21] !caps | nV-server [09:21] nV-server: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!

[09:43] jpds its on a dual boot [09:43] pragma_: the bots answer, not hte factoid itself [09:43] * pragma_ shrugs indifferently. [09:44] so [09:44] !backtrack [09:44] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

At that point when you boot only windows will boot, with no option for Ubuntu. [09:44] * pragma_ fails to see how that is worse. [09:44] thanks for everyones help and patience, but I doubt I will return to ubuntu :) [09:44] juniour: how did you install it? [09:45] I guess you could say 1 less person to worry about giving support to :P [09:45] juniour: is it a true install of Ubuntu or some wubi install? [09:45] juniour: After that you can use an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB to reclaim the space from Ubuntu using System > Administration > GParted.

[09:46] I may have been disconnected [09:46] kashogi: i suggest you test your RAM [09:47] juniour: so you booted to the USB from BIOS and installed from there? [09:47] ActionParsnip ya right [09:47] nVee: glad you were able to follow through with it, and it's understandable... perhaps you may find another use for it and try it again sometime, or perhaps in your spare time at home... and if not, oh well, glad it worked :) [09:47] ok action [09:47] llutz_: if i have a computer name Sample, so it shoud be command rsync -rvcn /home/user/someFile/ //NameOfComputer/Windows/file [09:47] ActionParsnip i select the option installed alongside other operating system [09:48] hey rsync -rvcn local/ /NameOfComputer:/Windows/file [09:48] hey rsync -rvcn local/ NameOfComputer:/Windows/file [09:48] juniour: if you boot to windows you can delete the Ubuntu partitions, you can then make a new partition and format it NTFS as that is pretty much all Windows likes, you will then need to use your Windows CD to reinstate the bootloader as Grub will not work [09:48] juniour: you can ask about the windows bootloader stuff in ##windows [09:49] hey: i'm not sure if rsync works with windows-pc not having ssh/rsyncd running [09:49] ActionParsnip: An MS style MBR can be written from within Ubuntu as well.

[10:14] miasma: but 32bit + PAE can access 64Gb RAM, depends on your other needs [10:15] miasma: yes with PAE it can access 64Gb RAM [10:15] right [10:15] ActionParsnip: then why would 64-bit ubuntu be better? [10:15] * abhijain facing problem with skype microphone [10:15] miasma: PAE cannot use chunks >4GB for apps [10:16] miasma: Live in the future. [10:16] miasma: depends on what your needs are, as well as the hardware (mainly printers) attached [10:16] how to chat via terminal using netcat or cryptcat? [10:16] llutz_: i doubt i compile projects that need more than 4 GB of ram [10:16] abhijain: if you run alsamixer in terminal, are all levels cranked and unmuted [10:16] miasma: then PAE should be fine for you [10:16] llutz_: have you any examples of open source applications using more than 4 GB when compiling [10:16] after booting up , in the password window , that password window pops up again and again . i am completely unable to login. I have to go terminal and type "startx" to login graphically ....

I asked you a question after that [10:17] ActionParsnip: what could be the problem if after installing utidylib in synaptic python can't import tidylib ? [10:18] AP: http://pastebin.com/4LABggCK [10:18] Ugunsmuris: not sure, ask the channel and they may know. don't target people like that unless they reply to the initial question [10:18] I'm sorry I'm such a dummy at this :P [10:18] thanx for all your efforts/help AP :) [10:18] ActionParsnip: ok sry [10:18] what could be the problem if after installing utidylib in synaptic python can't import tidylib ? [10:19] pixxi451: copy the command as ONE command and run it, don't break it up [10:19] ahhh ok [10:19] let me try that then [10:19] hi all [10:19] pixxi451: that's why I gave it as one command, because that's what it is [10:19] after booting up , in the password window , that password window pops up again and again . i am completely unable to login. I have to go terminal and type "startx" to login graphically .... [10:19] abhijain: have you ran alsamixer in terminal to check the levels? [10:20] i just installed ubuntu on my machine after playing with server version in a VM a couple of days [10:20] lrojas: congrats [10:20] aum, one thing to do is ...after logging in or in text console sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade See if anything will update that might fix this [10:20] hi, grub2 help. i have maverick instaleld which is what i want to use for grub but mint installed grub also. how can i remove the mint grub and keep ubuntus? [10:20] hello repeating myself -- what could be the problem if after installing utidylib in synaptic python can't import tidylib ? [10:21] Fudge: boot to Ubuntu and run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub-common grub-pc [10:21] Fudge: boot maverick, reinstall grub [10:21] yes, my system is fully upgraded ....there is no problem with that... [10:21] Fudge: why have both? Seems excessive [10:21] one thing that i found weird is that in server i can choose any password i want ( the password manager just ask me if i am sure ) but in the client i am forced to follow some template for choosing a password [10:22] aum, you ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade as well? [10:22] does anybody knows how can i make passwd ignore the "template" is following? [10:22] Ugunsmuris: Possibly the Python version you have installed. or you do not have the HTML Tidy Library installed http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ [10:23] sorry i forgot to mention i am refering to 10.10 [10:23] lrojas: possibly use: sudo -i then run: passwd foo to set the password you want [10:23] ActionParsnip and lud thanks, that's done. before i was tryign update-grub but guess that didnt do it [10:23] AP: http://pastebin.com/Kp68Kq1W [10:23] heloo [10:23] alll [10:23] i think its the problem with my login window package...everything else is working fine.... [10:23] let me try the "dist-upgrade" as well... [10:23] pixxi451: ok, my bad this time. Try: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [10:24] Fudge: update-grub just rewrites grub.cfg but leaves MBR untouched [10:24] fdsaseemslegit: i installed tidy with synaptic also [10:24] ActionParsnip: thanks, that worked... just wondering why, and how i can control the passwd template [10:24] should I put those vertical lines in there too? [10:24] ActionParsnip, http://imagebin.antiyes.com/index716.html [10:24] Fudge: considering it's working and is on the screen for a few seconds, is it worth the effort? [10:24] its giving " 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."... [10:25] abhijain: so mic boost and fron mic boost are low, can you increase them? [10:25] fdsaseemslegit: and the cvs is not work [10:25] ActionParsnip, i dont have idea how to [10:25] ActionParsnip yes coz im blind and i cant easily choose what it is without counting what ever. but if machine reboots i want a default option not the other. thanks lud goo [10:25] : [10:25] ActionParsnip, can you tell me how can i increase [10:25] abhijain: I'd have thought using CURSORS was hugely intuitive. Give it a go [10:25] Ugunsmuris: Have you been here? http://utidylib.berlios.de/ [10:26] please do something...caz i already popped this message yesterday... [10:26] anyone know how to lock preferences in firefox 4? ive followed the guide, for ubuntu but it wont lock anything.. [10:26] whats the program called that ubuntu uses for opening packed files like .zip ? [10:26] AdvoWork: could make the config files read only, the cache folder must be writable though.

[10:29] abhijain: I don't use teamviewer and inviting strangers onto your system is a REALLY bad idea [10:29] lrojas: Probably the most popular would be xchat [10:29] XChat [10:29] lrojas: xchat, konversation, quassel and lots more [10:29] lrojas: I use pidgin [10:29] !irc [10:29] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [10:29] ActionParsnip, then what can i do. how to increase [10:30] abhijain: not sure, are there any bugs logged?

[10:35] airtonix: doesn't it just :) [10:35] abhijain: hi [10:35] ranjan: a router/gateaway have to be as bridge between the two computers connecting the two subnets a routes set up correctly [10:36] aum, create another usr and log in with that account... see if it works [10:36] ranjan, any idea how to boost mic volume [10:36] pixxi451: the oS knows, you just tell it to clean up and it does. Now you only have ONE flash plugin. Close ALL browsers, then when you rerun it, you will have flash [10:36] abhijain: check it in the sond prefernce applet [10:36] okay so is there a way for me to set my dual monitors into extended desktop mode instead of clone? i have already installed "ati-driver-installer-11-1-x86.x86_64.run" [10:36] kewl, thanx AP [10:37] aum, out of curiosity do df -h and pastebin the results [10:37] erUSUL: that means my situation is impossible [10:37] coz_: oooh I think you got something juicy there dude [10:37] ActionParsnip, I hope so... full drive could be one cause ,,, [10:37] ranjan: why? are they public internet adresses/subnets ? what you describe is something the network admin has to handle no the individual machines [10:38] ah oh [10:38] erUSUL: hm ok [10:38] gah [10:39] thank you [10:39] hello can i route the input of an keyboard to an file for example? or to /dev/null so it does not work?

[10:42] batalyst controll center* [10:42] llutz_: no it is i made an "usb moving sensor" for an show computer so as soon somebody coming close "space" is hit by an radarsensor. monitor switch on. Then all the time space is pressed. and i want to route this input to an script. [10:42] erUSUL: they are physically connected using Ethernet Cable [10:43] ranjan: a crossover cable? directly attached to one ehernet card in each computer? [10:43] have no radio-channels in tunapie or streamtunner (from shoutcast) anymore. is this a known problem? [10:43] llutz_: sorry that was bad english. [10:43] erUSUL: no through a switch [10:43] Hi All, odd question but if i wanted to extract a copy of the ubuntu installation dialog/whiptail scripts from the iso where should i be looking? [10:43] rethus, last time I tried streamtuner I had that issue ,, not sure how it is by default today though [10:43] ranjan: you have to stablish a new private network between the two computers [10:44] erUSUL: using the switch? [10:44] coz_: maybe a serveradress has change ? [10:44] did u have this problem today? [10:44] coz_ ati can you tell me where the settings are/ [10:44] ranjan: they are already using the switch [10:44] rethus, that's certainly possible [10:44] Chemicalvamp: at a terminal prompt, type sudo amdcccle [10:44] Chemicalvamp, last time I used the ati control panel in linux, spanning a desktop across two monitors is done exactly the same way you do it in windows [10:44] Cheetobandito, no I dont but where you type here type /join #radeon I bet they can help there :) [10:44] ranjan: configure apropiate static ip adresses netmasks in both ends [10:45] Chemicalvamp, I assume you've bothered to look in the applications menu ? [10:45] erUSUL: oh, i understand. that there should be a machine in between these two machines to introduce them to each other isnt it? [10:45] thanks alot fdsaseemslegit exactly what i wanted [10:45] airtonix i did, but its not there [10:45] ranjan: no; if understood what the situation is; there's no need === Dotoff is now known as Dotted [10:46] ranjan: if those 2 machines are not attached to other networks, why don't you put them in a single subnet? [10:46] ChemicalVamp: You are welcome. [10:46] erUSUL: i didint understand [10:47] halt [10:47] ranjan: there is no need for a third machine/gw/router [10:47] llutz_: so if i use the subnet approach that means my two machines can communicate each other isnt it? [10:47] ActionParsnip: it worked, Grooveshark is playing my music now thanx so much :) [10:47] oops >.< [10:47] erUSUL: then How???? i am in search of that !!!

[12:33] nobody,in #ubuntuone,any one can explain this [12:33] Do I need to buy a new harddisk? smartctl prints: "SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1; Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error; # 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 20% 13503 125818723" (see http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/gparted-input-output-error-waehrend-von-dev-sd/ ) [12:34] hello [12:34] Narc: good point, I'm not sure, keep a backup of the original to be sure you can return it back the way it is before you try it [12:35] jose123 [12:35] hey n2j3 [12:35] Narc: I know I wanted all my setings the same so I just overwrote the dir as far as I can remember, but that was moving not to far from the version I was already running [12:35] my ubuntu is losting the ambience theme after I restart. anyone knows how I fix that? [12:35] any one can contact ubuntuone developer，any body can help me？ [12:36] sacarlson: Sure. :) Thanks for the help. I think FF4 already uses the FF3 .mozilla folder in fact. The same profile is used when launching FF4. [12:36] has anyone here bricked there pc doing a bios replacement ? [12:37] nobody know about ubuntuone? [12:37] snpresent: know what exactly? [12:37] n2j3, hey [12:37] got to go [12:38] ubuntu one eat my files,not give them back to me,that is how ubuntu one works? [12:39] how can I know all installed packages that come from a given repository? [12:40] thank you [12:40] edwardteach: no but I thought I bricked a linksys router that way, I found a sequence that could be done to recover it, I hope you bios ends up the same way [12:41] I use external HDD it takes long TIME to BOOT [12:43] happyaron, sorry for the delay [12:43] I was on the phone [12:43] how do I do to see the messages that shows in boot process? [12:43] so it's possible to compile the stuff in the home directory? [12:44] Narc: so you saying if you move the now .mozilla setting to ff3 you won't have this problem with fonts? I have a different problem with fonts when I have certain sites open on firefox my fonts in wireshark are mest up, I wonder if you have something like that in reverse [12:44] Does anyone know how to pipe the wohle keyboard input ? so you cannot type with the keyboard anymore? [12:45] gschwepp: maybe you should back up and explain what you're trying to do instead of asking how to implement a flawed solution [12:46] gschwepp: is this for just one application? [12:46] sacarlson: No, I'm saying that when you launch FF4 it uses the same profile and the same .mozilla folder that FF3 created. The font rendering problem is still there. [12:46] sacarlson, i get a message your cpu appears to be lacking expected security protections when i log in cli ! cheched it out and my bios has not the options available to fix it ! [12:47] Narc: ok === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [12:48] hi gord :) [12:48] edwardteach: I don't recall ever seeing any such mesage, when did it start? [12:49] inveratulo: I made an radar moving sensor of an keyboard, to get monitor back from screensaver by movement. But now it always prints space on movement. Thats not what i want so i try to pipe all /dev/modifiedkeyboardid to /dev/null [12:50] or to anything else. but i shouldnt be able to write anymore. thats the most important! [12:50] In case you open firefox and press space all the time you see what i want to get rid of. [12:51] sacarlson, its always been there i know that flashing the bios is not for the faint hearted so ive always put it off [12:51] !sound [12:51] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [12:52] I am having problems for 11.04 usb install, with loop filesystem. cannot mount /dev/loop0 Any help?, thanks [12:53] recommend a Good Firewall for Ubuntu [12:53] ganeshiva: why do you need one, first? [12:53] edwardteach: when you say you see this in cli, I assume you just open a terminal like gnome-terminal, [12:54] ganeshiva: in general you can use iptables with any frontend available to it, but for a desktop / notebook pc a firewall is not needed [12:54] ganeshiva: you should turn off unneeded listening services instead, better than any firewall. [12:55] ganeshiva: I agree with Fuchs, should just close unneded listiners [12:55] sacarlson, no when i ctrl alt F1 into the machine [12:56] hello guys! i wanna run the command mogrify to convert some files (*.bmp) to jpg [12:56] but i want to do it in every directory and subdirectory [12:56] aflaouras: use find with -exec [12:56] edwardteach: ok, so maybe it's also seen in the kernel logs [12:57] #find /home/aflaouras/Desktop/unicosmetics/υλικο\ website/ -name '*.bmp'|while read line; do mogrify -format jpg [12:57] i try this [12:58] edwardteach: I'm not sure if it's a repeating event or just a one time at boot event, if it repeats I would look deeper into it [12:58] Can I ask for help regarding Ubuntu here? [12:59] sacarlson, it not that much of a problem my laptop is still functional kernel logs well i have checked but dont notice errors ! [13:00] !ask ubuntu_user0: [13:00] I want to monitor the Traffic [13:01] ganeshiva: for that you don't need a firewall, you can use tools like wireshark or tcpdump instead [13:01] or even nettop / iftop [13:01] Hi Guys [13:01] Does anyone know if there is a specific driver or a way to get the following wireless card working in ubuntu "2x2 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter " (this is what Windows 7 reports it as). Thanks for any help! [13:01] ganeshiva: of a single ip? wireshark? [13:02] thanx jrib the solution was : find test -name '*.bmp' -exec mogrify -format jpg {} ';' [13:02] ganeshiva: I also use iptables to monitor trafic or keep accounts on the kinds of trafic of ip and users and ports [13:02] aflaouras: yep! [13:03] Is there no way to pipe all keyboard input? [13:03] I have a general question.. I gave my 250 GB HD to my friend for few days.. Now when he returns that to me, I finde a folder named " Found.000". I know this question is not related to this forum but wanted to know, is this folder created becos he ran some recovery tool?? [13:04] Slayer: have a look and see what's in it? [13:04] gracias from Greece jrib !!! Thanx for the help ! I to render your help one day! [13:05] aflaouras: no problem [13:05] :) [13:05] Slasher`, aren't they the result of chkdsk ? [13:05] http://techsalsa.com/what-are-found000-folders-and-why-are-they-created/ [13:05] s i [13:05] sry, wrong window. hi [13:05] :) [13:06] Slayer: if you're *that* worried, run dban on it ;-) [13:06] Slasher`, did you have deleted porn on it before ? [13:06] - - [13:06] gschwepp: I've used cli programs that would use to drive keyboard events that I would point at windowed applications, but I don't think that's what you want [13:07] gordonjcp- I have too many files that is named as "FILE0000.CHK,FILECHK0001.CHK AND THE LIST GOES ON.. TILL 8. now there is one file that is a video.. [13:07] Is there a driver for a "2x2 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter" for Ubuntu? The card is in a lenovo x100e (thinkpad). [13:08] sacarlson: no :/ i just want the keyboard input piped to what ever not shown on screen. so if i type to firefox it shouldnt go there with this specific keyboard [13:08] Slayer: sounds like chkdsk [13:09] hey [13:09] hello, i installed ubuntu on win vista machine. now i can't access win anymore. what to do? [13:09] Slayer: tbh simply doing "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/" will get rid of any data on it, with no hope of ever recovering it ;-) [13:09] gschwepp: you can change focus of the keyboard to another application or window [13:10] Slayer: do not do that, unless you're entirely sure you're aiming it at the right drive [13:10] sacarlson: how? [13:10] i selected "install running alongside other os" or smth like that [13:10] gordonjcp- Yeah but I wanted to share some of the data [13:10] lambrz I'm no pro in the area of grub2, but I was just working on it. what you might want to look for is someone or a forum post talking about adding or updating your grup [13:10] gschwepp: well you just click on another window that changes focus, how do you want to control it from cli? [13:10] sacarlson: actually i'd prefer sending a permanent stream of space to /dev/null that would be the best solution [13:11] sudo update-grub might help [13:11] but the data which was personal to me I ihad don a Cut and paste. So can that be recovered??? [13:12] gschwepp: I don't understand how sending a stream to /dev/null has anything to do with the keyboard [13:12] guys I am trying to mount a drive after pulling apart my PC and replugging it in internally a drive wont mount [13:12] ok thx i'll try sudo update-grub [13:13] sacarlson: Did you read what i made? And what its good for? [13:14] gschwepp: no how far back would I have to read to see it? === cferthorney is now known as cferthorney|afk [13:14] maybe someone can help me get rEFit to only display one loader for ubuntu [13:15] any mac users? [13:16] sacarlson: i build from a keyboard a motion sensor. it should get my computer back from screensaver if somebody is getting near. Now i it is the case my sensor presses space. [13:16] i have a big problem. it says no init. and its a BSOD! [13:16] sacarlson: so i get my monitor back. i dont want to have space pressed all the time [13:17] sacarlson: or not realised from my system all the time [13:19] anyone?

I'm limited but I could tell you if I can help [13:20] daxt: It is already preinstalled, and will work out of the box. [13:20] did you try google first? [13:20] gschwepp: can't you just disable the screen saver? [13:21] Slayer: wipe, then copy on the data you want to share [13:21] jayvee , i have Nvidia Card and Intel VGA onboard , and Nvidia card stopped working and now i am running on Intel VGA onboard , its where the driver is not preinstalled :( [13:21] its a show computer that should use screensaver if noone is near it . so monitors are not on 24/7 [13:21] I am refactoring the Ubuntu 10.04 live CD, and would like to include the latest kernel so (1) I have the latest kernel, and (2) so that two kernels (the one from the latest iso, and then the latest from the archive) don't get installed to the disk. To do this, I need a way to recreate the /casper/initrd.lz file (which differs greatly from the initramfs in /boot), but that is completely undocumented. Does anybody have any idea which direction I shoul [13:21] Slayer: tbh if he's that good a friend, why are you holding out on him? Share your pr0n! [13:22] daxt: That hardware configuration is not well supported at all by any operating system other than Windows. There may be a BIOS option to change the default video card, but other than that, I can't recommend much. [13:22] gschwepp: ok I get the idea, can it hit another key or maybe temp remap keyboard so space isn't space [13:22] daxt: My simple advice is not to purchase laptops with dual GPUs. Bad idea. [13:22] how to use wireshark the interface is empty [13:23] jaywee , mine is a desktop , not a laptop :( [13:23] ganeshiva: Either run wireshark as root, setuid dumpcap as root, or use setcap to add capture permissions to dumpcap. [13:23] ganeshiva: you have to run wireshark as a sudo user so gksudo wireshark [13:23] sacarlson: fkrst [13:24] daxt: The NVIDIA card is an AGP/PCI-e card, and the Intel card is integrated, right? Well, just remove the NVIDIA card physically, and everything will switch over. [13:24] sacarlson: first idea does not work because some programs are very unhappy about pressing random keys but the second one is quite interesting. [13:24] daxt: If you have bastardised your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you may need to remove it, if you have hardcoded the NVIDIA driver in there. [13:25] Hi there, I have a question regarding the network manager and the nm-applet. After a GPU crash I got the message, that my wired interface were "not managed". I edited the /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf by changing the [ifupdown] managed property to true. Now the wired network works, however the nm-applet refuses to run. any suggestions? Thanks in advance! [13:25] gschwepp: cool, now you need to find a way to temp remap keyboard with a cli method [13:25] jayvee: You dont compile xorg.conf, its just a configuration file [13:25] daxt: "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" should get you a working display on almost any hardware configuration out there (no guarantees as to hardware acceleration, but getting a picture at all is more important) [13:25] jayvee, i have already removed the PCI-E card , but i have to enter into ubuntu in fail safe mode [13:25] soreau: please tell me where I implied compilation of the xorg.conf file. (Hint: I didn't.) [13:25] endomafrendo, you are in ubuntu? [13:26] jayvee: You said hardcoded [13:26] soreau: lrn2english [13:26] jayvee, thats enough [13:26] sacarlson: yeah. but i wonder why i cannot pipe my keyboard device. [13:27] bazhang: hey I'm just bored waiting for a response to my question. ^ [13:27] jayvee, then remain civil please [13:27] bazhang: no [13:27] -_- [13:28] sacarlson: cat /dev/input/by-id/[mydevice] | /dev/null would be the most easiest thing. i wrote 3 keylogger today ;) but i wanted no output ... thats so unfair [13:28] gschwepp: well you can change focus to window that does nothing so that would also work using something i think like xautomation [13:31] bump... anyone on my network problem? [13:31] aguitel> yes [13:31] @aguitel yes, it is a 10.04 [13:32] now i killed the nm-applet and started it from the console [13:33] thank you and others [13:33] the message is: ** (nm-applet:3156): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 [13:33] i have a problem.. my usb hdd keeps unmounting and remountig itself causing the folder to open randomly.. anyone ever had this problem? running 10.10 with a seagate 1.5 usb hdd [13:33] ganeshiva: also look at wmctrl [13:34] the nm-applet seems to be running, however, it is not showing in the notification area (which i now explicitely added once again) [13:34] @karma_police had the same problem with iomega drives. changed to better usb cables and everything went fine [13:35] zaibach333: it says no init [13:35] so im having issues getting ubuntu to connect up to a router .. i just reset the router box and .. its hardwired right into it .. without any luck... is there a way to initiate a search for new networks? [13:36] inashdeen what says no init [13:36] delinquentme: so your wired in and don't get auto connect to work to this router? [13:36] zaibach333: my computer, i am using maverick,installed side by side to windows in my compaq [13:37] delinquentme: wifi? [13:37] inashdeen you cant load into windows?

[13:37] bazhang here ? [13:38] sacarlson, first statement:correct .. no this is a wired connection to a linksys router [13:38] zaibach333: grub is working, i can load into windows, but cant get into ubuntu [13:38] oh [13:38] vista crash after ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) install / dual boot. -> sudo grub didn't help. [13:38] I have installed lampp it's working fine and stuff like that. But i hate that I must run sudo /opt/lampp lampp and enter my password each time . Can I create an link so that it makes su mypass and then runs the lampp and doesn't require my password .. ???? maybe a bash script.. [13:39] karma_police: I was going to mention that it sounds like a connection problem with your USB port. Make sure the USB cable connections attach firmly. You might also want to unspecify automounting of removable media. [13:39] sacarlson, i get a light on the router front .. confirming that i've plugged in a connection .. and nothing on ubuntu [13:39] Zenger: you should delete lampp. Then use the repositories to install a proper lamp stack (see ubottu) [13:39] Zenger, install lamp from repos no need for /opt/ [13:39] !lamp > Zenger [13:39] Zenger, please see my private message [13:39] delinquentme: do other systems that plug into this same wire work? what is seen with the command ifconfig ? [13:39] inashdeen the way I know how is to load the ubuntu live disk and do some console comands to get grub back up and working. [13:39] ubottu: where can I get the repos ?? [13:39] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:39] inashdeen is it crashing? [13:40] Zenger, read the bot link [13:40] sacarlson, just a listing for " lo " [13:40] Zenger: read the private message he sent y ou [13:40] how do i unspecify? [13:40] lambrz so it doesnt boot or it crashes? [13:40] sacarlson, let me try getting this laptop into it brb [13:40] how do i edit the fstab? [13:40] ubottu: you are more than a bot. You are our friend. [13:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:40] zaibach333 there is no wrong with grub, but i can try. crashes like how, it is a blach screen of deatd [13:40] delinquentme: that's not good, you should see eth0 or more than just lo [13:41] how can I know all installed packages that come from a given repository? [13:41] enriq: open your synaptic package manager and create a custom filter. [13:41] bazhang hey mate, gt a bit of an issue.. ubuntu randomly freezes and i'm forced to restart.. also i have to power on in 10mins, else i don't see the bios.. any clue why ?

[13:42] enriq: you might need to have some form of regular expression knowledge to finely tune your custom filter [13:42] With nano [13:42] karma_police: to see it? to edit it? [13:42] both [13:42] edit [13:42] delinquentme: I'm not sure how you would send it but should look at sudo lspci to see if a device is seen for network [13:42] karma_police: type sudo nano /etc/fstab [13:42] And sudo [13:42] i know it is gksudo something [13:43] Or gksudo gedit [13:43] zaibach333: of course, it worked, i cant really understand how it happen, it is something about forcefully pull out a thumb drive out of my system, which i had nver install ubuntu inside, but long time ago, it got puppy linux which i had cleaned [13:43] delinquentme: better yet try sudo lshw and see if you see anything network and see if it has a driver attached to it [13:43] lambrz sounds like a windows issue, did you shut down wierd [13:43] or your editor of choice I suppose >_> [13:43] thanx fdsaseemslegit [13:44] enriq: you are welcome, [13:44] inashdeen your issue sounds like a windows one too :/ [13:44] bazhang hey mate, gt a bit of an issue.. ubuntu randomly freezes and i'm forced to restart.. also i have to power on in 10mins, else i don't see the bios.. any clue why ?

I want to upgrade my 10.04 to 10.10 but the upgrade fails because it cannot calculate the upgrade. I guess it's because I have newer versions of some stuff, notably from https://launchpad.net/~falk-t-j/+archive/lucid/ what can I do?

[14:23] fdsaseemslegit, I'm thinking in installing 10.10 in a new partition and have dual boot, sharing the /home and /opt [14:23] multiplatinum: y do u want to record ur speaker output? to record a stream? [14:23] rr0hit, if i would hit record and then record what's playing i would have background noise [14:25] enriq: that is also a way to do it, but if you find 10.10 does everything you need it to, you might not need to hang on to the 10.04 partition. I am stingy with my disk space.

[14:40] induz, no. either you can login from one instance to either kde only or either gnome only [14:40] induz: its more eye-candy and memory consuming wen compared to gnome [14:40] irc [14:40] induz, yah it needs more resources [14:40] jus wanna ask how i can get on the ##java room, seems like empathy wont let me connect [14:41] I have only 1Gb RAm on my Dell [14:41] nits_hunter, register your nick [14:41] !register > nits_hunter [14:41] nits_hunter, please see my private message [14:41] induz: And regarding nits_hunter's comment, the "more eye-candy" thing is kinda of debatable.

[15:07] jrib: So far I managed only to move to my target directory (/usr/local/source) and isuue the command '~$ sudo apt-get source e2fsprogs' in order to download the source code files. Is this not an elegant way? Is this even foolish? What is a better procedure to download source code from Ubuntu repositories? [15:07] can some one help me understand where is Gnome loaded on my Lynx please [15:07] rohitnikcool: you can find a terminal in your menu [15:08] jrib - the Ign - I'm assuming that means ignore [15:08] bullgard4: I use ~/src and run « apt-get source e2fsprogs » as a user [15:08] ottermaton: I believe that just means the file hasn't changed since last time you ran update [15:08] jrib - at the start of many of those lines [15:08] dreamer000: i know the terminal but what's the command [15:08] jrib: I will try that next time. -- Thank you very much for your advice und your help. [15:08] bullgard4: no problem [15:08] Also, If i install KDE on Lucid , do i have to re-install all the programs?

[15:09] rohitnikcool: if you start picasa frm a terminal there you may see errormessages that help you further [15:09] ottermaton: disregard what I said, jrib was correct [15:10] jrib, the "remembering" of updated lists is handled by /var/lib/apt/lists, correct? [15:10] ottermaton: I don't know [15:10] fdsaseemslegit, see above [15:10] dreamer000: what is the command to start picasa from terminal [15:11] fdsaseemslegit, so if I erased the contents of that dir, it should have to download all this lists again, right? [15:11] ottermaton: your pastebin had no errors. but if you want to remove those lines from your source lists, so you don't see them any more, make a backup, and then remove the corresponding lines. === SamRastin is now known as SamRastin_wk [15:11] hi there [15:11] my tmp partition is only 1 MB [15:12] @banoz thats too small. and why would you have a tmp partition [15:12] so I can't compile with gcc big source codes because the temporary directory for compilation is /tmp [15:12] hi is there someone who thinks thank he/she can help me with my startup problem. It says that it is something wrong with my power management controller. and i dont manage to start x [15:12] fdsaseemslegit, do you see what I'm saying about erasing what it remembers as the current list?

[15:12] banoz. that makes sense. sorry [15:13] ottermaton: here is how I might do it, sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /home/asdf/Documents/sourcesbackup && sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [15:13] banoz: Er. That doesn't sound like an Ubuntu issue. [15:13] theSoundEngineer, yes but my home partition is bigger so I was wondering if was possible to use a different temporary partition [15:13] what is FireFox Bin [15:13] hi guys [15:13] Pici, is an ubuntu like system [15:14] banoz: Its not Ubuntu.

I don't want them removed, I want to be able to _get_ them [15:18] erusel, not much... The icon bounces if someone says yor name in irc and you are on a different workspace...

I'm running crossover office, and my outlook decided to hang on me ... usually running "kill `pidof OUTLOOK.EXE`" will kill off the process and I can restart it ... unfortunately, that didn't work this time, so I ran "kill -9 `pidof OUTLOOK.EXE`" and the program is still lingering around. I've also killed off all the wine related processes in my system. Manually looking up the pid (via: ps -C OUTLOOK.EXE) and runn [15:53] in other words the state is messed up [15:53] kazagistar: local.rc would be run as root, i believe, but I have never had to do this, I am sorry. It is why I am no real help. I am only aware of the being able to run some programs as just a service, with no frontend. On my windows, whenever I open the command prompt, vlc starts up playing files from a certain folder with out a frontend, and can only be stopped from the taskmanager.

[15:56] ViN86: If it's crossover office, it should have a menu option to kill all running processes, else look for entries which contain.. outlook, wine, explorer [15:56] ViN86: Err sorry, wrong target meant for eurythmia? [15:56] Dcite, yes wrong target heh [15:56] Dcite: I noticed, and acted. To no avail :/ [15:57] eurythmia, no, just that emulating often causes problems that are easily avoided with native clients [15:57] eurythmia: So you can still see the outlook window?

[16:00] eurythmia: was hopping a stray wine process was somewhere... how about running something else in wine.. like notepad? [16:00] BluesKaj, So I can "overwrite" the current settings without harming any hardware? read that in some other guide.

[16:02] eurythmia: so getting the PID and then using kill -SIGKILL won't work? [16:02] Not as of yet. It is a fresh install [16:02] Silivrenion: pkill gnome-panel [16:02] Dcite: I can't even do that ... the whole window is greyed out.

[16:22] quit [16:22] does my question make sense? someone grunt please [16:22] undecim: at least no EE [16:22] undecim: crap ... process id 1 is init. Is there a way for init to kill a specific process? [16:23] lee__, you already tried ctrl+alt+F1 yes? [16:23] Captain_Haddock: did you google your error? looks like a bootloader issue [16:23] coz_: sorry i dropped off after trying again.. ctrl+alt+f1 after stopping x? [16:23] eurythmia: It should have killed it anyways.... [16:23] Captain_Haddock: did you get prompted about grub during your update? [16:23] coz_: that'll clear the way to use cli? [16:23] Hello, so i have a gateway laptop that i decided i wanted to try ubuntu on... unfortunately when i installed ubuntu i choose to completely override my existing OS which was windows 7 and replace it with ubuntu instead of running it side-by-side... now i'm starting to regret it... while i love Ubuntu very much, i want to switch back to windows. Now, I contacted gateway and they gave me a link to buy a disk that would include the OS, drivers, pre-instal [16:23] onceltuca: What happens if you run "sudo service gdm start"? (that should start the X server) [16:24] undecim: yep ... that's what I thought too. [16:24] KaiForce: nope. No prompt. [16:24] lee__, after doing that you could sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [16:24] KaiForce: presumably you are running the lucid lts as well? [16:24] lee__, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to get back in [16:24] Hi [16:24] Captain_Haddock: I believe so, yes. [16:24] i'm trying to get fulldisk encryption with a keyfile on usb stick to work [16:24] kmck: when you get your disc, format your harddrive, install Windows 7, then install ubuntu the way you should have in the first place. [16:25] coz_: well the issue isn't stopping gdm, when i stop it i can't type anything, i get no command prompt, it just shows a bunch of text of what the system has been doing [16:25] anyone did this before? [16:25] i want to eventually replace an old redhat web/mail server with this. now it only has a bit of web stuff on it [16:25] undecim: srtart: Job is already running: Start [16:25] llutz: The Ultimate Boot CD uses the program 'HUTIL' of Samsung. I will download it and try to diagnose my hard disk. -- Thank you. [16:25] undecim: could this be in another terminal window maybe? [16:25] i saw in a howto to use "cryptkey=/dev/disk/by-uuid/$UID/secretkey" in grub.cfg [16:25] but it doesn't work [16:25] coz_: can't do anything, including restarting gdm, just have to reboot [16:25] fdsaseemslegit: how do i format the hard drive? and i don't want Ubuntu on my computer at all anymore [16:25] is there a jike package for 10.04? [16:25] coz_: fresh 10.04 install [16:25] fdsaseemslegit: i just want windows 7 [16:26] lee__, have you tried ctrl alt f1 ? [16:26] lee__, or ctrl alt f2 ? [16:26] onceltuca: Check terminal 7 (ctl+alt+f7) and 8 [16:26] a jikes package, I mean. [16:26] kmck: you can do this with the win7 installer. There is a screen that allows you to do so (I think it says advanced when you get to the installation location screen) [16:27] undecim: an underscore blinking in the upper left corner [16:27] eurythmia: Seems like the only way to kill it will be a reboot [16:27] kmck: delete all the partitions from there, and select the free space to install into [16:27] onceltuca: Go back to the console you were in and try "sudo service gdm restart" [16:28] KaiForce: ok so i just need to put the disk in, the ubuntu OS will realize what's going on and the disk will allow me to reformat and completely install just win7 on my laptop? [16:28] kmck: you'll boot with the windows 7 install cd (dvd?) ubuntu won't even be running [16:28] bin neu hier. guten tag [16:28] !de | walfri [16:28] walfri: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[16:40] JuJuBee: Well how did you set up the VM to control the board then? [16:40] Not a great solution. [16:40] mia158: are u talking to me? [16:40] undecim: via installing the software.

Options to Continue without installing grub? prompt are Yes / No [16:40] JuJuBee: Hmmm... Maybe a chroot will do what you need after all :P [16:40] The software recognized the usb dongle and was able to control the board through it. [16:40] digirak, I was not talking to you.

[16:43] hi everyone, having some book problems. Grub spontaneously stopped finding the hd1 device, where Ubuntu is kept. I installed via wubi and was recommended to try bootrec.exe /fmb from a Windows recovery console. It didn't work [16:43] undecim: I installed from cli. However once installed there is no app that I need to run. [16:43] DrPoO: system>admin...>disk utility can do linux raid-0 software arrays [16:44] undecim: no it did not complain on install [16:44] DaGeek247, but I already visited the link http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [16:44] undecim: bingo [16:44] not a link [16:44] erUSUL, I need to do this from the command line [16:44] DaGeek247, no offense, but you look drunk [16:44] !raid | DrPoO [16:44] DrPoO: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [16:44] undecim: then it disappears and the screen is "black" [16:45] hi everyone [16:45] DrPoO: you have to use mdadm utility [16:45] sorry, pda keybard is tough to use. [16:45] i am very new to ubuntu. i just dloaded ubuntu 10.10 [16:45] leoncutz, congratulations [16:45] get ubuntu tweak. [16:45] hi guys [16:45] !who [16:45] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:45] i need hgelp here pls [16:45] hi glaceman. [16:45] oh thanks DaGeek247 , I just used this line: gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close" [16:45] it can move the buttons. [16:45] onceltuca: You might try running sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade if you can get a network connection [16:45] but I'll try the tweak tool [16:46] undecim: kk, I'm back from a reboot and a break ... it looks like I did kill off the parent of the OUTLOOK.EXE process when I was killing off wine processes ... when the parent process dies, init became the new parent for the hung process [16:46] leoncutz, what do you need help with ? ;) [16:46] klizzle, Wubi is good to "test" if you like Ubuntu or not BUT when issues come up, those with the most knowledge in this channel are usually unaware of implications of Wubi as it's unlikely experienced users will use it. A proper dual-boot is MUCH preferred to a Wubi install. Just sayin. Best of luck. [16:46] leoncutz: Ask questions, and We'll answer them to the best of our abilities [16:46] ^ [16:46] guest, have you tried - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [16:46] from my own experience, sbackup sucks [16:46] is there a grub channel? My issue isn't being commented on here. [16:46] ecchi, its under "window manager settings" [16:46] undecim: i have a connection since im here :) [16:46] Francaise !! =x [16:47] klizzle: I'm seeing more people with wubi problems, I would suggest if you ever get it working again don't try to update, seems the support for it has been getting smaller for that [16:47] Is there an alternative SWF file player to default to in Firefox??

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:48] DaGeek247: there i had even more troubles.. [16:48] undecim: hence upstart is not upgraded [16:48] dee01 wow.

[16:49] ubottu> ok sorry guys still new here [16:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:49] petro: I see others , seems it tries to install the wrong driver at boot so you will manualy have to uninstall it and install the working one [16:49] leoncutz: check your sound applet to make sure you are not muted. by default, I believe the sound is set to 0%.

[16:50] hello , anyone knows a proxy soft that ggives the client the ability to see his session details on some page ? like the session time and bandwith usage ? [16:50] I'm having trouble booting 10.10 on my new laptop i7-2630 it just drop me to grub [16:51] sacarlson: i dont think so. [16:51] DaGeek247 thats what i thought. well with chown i cannot change it [16:51] de01 regularly logging in as root is bad [16:51] in the end i had to install debian on this laptop [16:51] undecim: Ah,, i never tried that. [16:51] any stand alone flash players ?? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [16:51] bibic682: try vlc. [16:51] petro: maybe try this http://aplawrence.com/Linux/rtl811.html [16:52] dee01, fyi if you run GUI apps with sudo instead of gksudo it can lead to permission problem in your home directory. see !gksudo for explanation. [16:52] undecim: I get that also... [16:52] ZykoticK9: i used sudo chown in the terminal [16:52] bibic682: swfdec, gnash [16:52] undecim: it works no a 32 bit install [16:52] Hello. [16:52] I need some help [16:52] s/no/on/ [16:52] dee01 if ubuntu has to many poblems, get debian. its tested for four years (i think) bfore being released, and its what ubuntu is based off of. [16:52] JuJuBee: And it's statically linked, which means it shouldn't require the 32-bit libraries [16:52] leoncutz: Does this fix apply to you? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=390625 [16:53] xil i don't know anything, but for those who do it would be easier to answer if you told smth more, like what were u trying to do [16:53] dee01, i was just suggestion a possible cause for permission issue in your home dir. Your "sudo chown ..." is fine. [16:53] fdsaseemslegit: i will go through it and get bk to u soon. tks [16:53] JuJuBee: So a 32-bit chroot won't make a difference... It just can't deal with a 64-bit kernel. [16:53] thanks I will give it a try....I don't think VLC handles that....but will try both thanks [16:53] leoncutz: I'll be here. [16:53] ZykoticK9: can i also force this command somehow? and what is the correct command?? and which permissions are standard?? [16:53] undecim: so that means they need to port to 64 bit for it to work at all.. [16:54] JuJuBee: Correct [16:54] Hello. I have some problems. I just installed some drivers on Ubuntu and then when i restarted it ask me for a Login and password. When i write in my Login i guess its my Username on ubuntu. But i cant write in a password help please. [16:54] JuJuBee: I would recommend trying the Windows version in Wine. If it's stable enough, it may be the most convenient solution [16:54] hello , anyone knows a proxy soft where the client can see his bandwith usage and time ? [16:54] undecim: OK, I will pass that info along to their support team. [16:54] Hi! I got a HP 5940 but can't pick that very model or the 5900-series on my "http://localhost:631/admin" cups-config-page.. what driver do i use instead? [16:54] Hmm, didn't try wine yet. [16:54] DaGeek247: ubuntu was fine on my old t42. runned like a dream for years... now i just have problems with this lenovo-piece-of-junk [16:54] I wasn't doing anything. Shutdown computer, when I turned it back on all of a sudden Grub isn't finding important things for booting. It doesn't even find the grub config. I installed via Wubi. Someone yesterday said to run a windows recovery cd and run bootrec.exe /fmb. Did it, didn't fix the problem. [16:54] dee01, "sudo chown $YOURUSERNAME:$YOURUSERNAME filename" you could also use -r on directories. (REPLACE $YOURUSERNAME with your actual username) [16:54] JuJuBee: Be sure to use the latest version from winehq.org [16:55] ZykoticK9: Or just use "$USER" [16:55] ok. thanks [16:55] Hello. I have some problems. I just installed some drivers on Ubuntu and then when i restarted it ask me for a Login and password. When i write in my Login i guess its my Username on ubuntu. But i cant write in a password help please. [16:55] ZykoticK9: and if i want to change permissions for my complete home directory i use this recursive command?? [16:55] undecim, awesome thanks! That's supper helpful, i never knew that variable existed. [16:55] Thomas_Reck: Is this on a black screen with white text? [16:55] Donjuann [16:55] bvcbbb [16:56] Thomas_Reck: you do have a password yes? [16:56] !pl | sebastian_ [16:56] sebastian_: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [16:56] Thomas_Reck: when you type your password you don't see any ****** is what you mean? [16:56] Undecim: Yes it is. [16:56] hi i cannot boot 10.10 cd on my sandy bridge laptop [16:56] it drops me to grub [16:56] Thomas_Reck: Your password is typing just fine, it just doesn't display [16:56] dee01, "cd /home && sudo chown -r $USER:$USER $USER" should work [16:56] Thomas_Reck: It's a security feature for console logins [16:56] dee01 i am just giving a suggestion. if you really like ubuntu, you could dual boot it with debian until you get all ubuntus problems fixed. [16:56] undecim: Oh okay. Thank you [16:56] Thomas_Reck: But [16:57] Thomas_Reck: go ahead and type in the password and hit enter [16:57] undecim: Yes? [16:57] Thomas_Reck: You shouldn't be getting that login screen [16:57] after running apt-get upgrade, I'm being prompted about grub installation. It says I have chosen not to install grub to any device (I made no such choice.) What action should I take to make sure I can boot when this is done? Options to "Continue without installing grub?" prompt are Yes / No [16:57] Thomas_Reck: It means GDM is having problems, likely with a graphics driver you just installed [16:57] dee01, SORRY it's -R for recursive on chown, my bad [16:58] undecim: Yes i happend just after i reinstalled after i installed a graphic driver === slow-motion_ is now known as slow-motion [16:58] Thomas_Reck: Which graphic driver did you install and how did you go about installing it? [16:58] I am using a Dell Latitude D630 and cannot get bluetooth to initialize. I get this error -- dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.bluez.Error.NoSuchAdapter: No such adapter [16:58] I've been resesearching and troubleshooting but am not having any success. What can I do next? [16:58] KaiForce: Are you dual booting your machine? [16:58] I think I have to reinstall, but I figured I would ask here first: I was trying to change my USB Polling rate in Ubunutu.. so I edited some files relating to USB HID.. now on boot my keyboard/mouse do not work, keyboard doesn't even work in safe mode/console [16:58] so I can't do anything to actually fix it... [16:59] mia158: Is there any output if you type "hciconfig" in a terminal? [16:59] Hi [16:59] ZykoticK9: chown invalid option -- 'r' [16:59] because I have no input to the machine [16:59] undecim: Well i have a HP g62-a36SO so that graphic driver and it installed succesfull and asked me to restart [16:59] ZykoticK9: heheh [16:59] xil: well now you can work with klizzle1: that has the same problem as you with wubi, if your not the same people, if you don't have anything of value it the home dir I think you should repartition a 10 gig ext4 space and create a real install [16:59] hey ... while hosting a webserver on my ubuntu comp I can't reach the webhost using my external IP while in LAN (it works just fine outside the LAN but I can't when Im in the LAN) why is that?? [16:59] does the default install of Ubuntu include active firewalls ? [16:59] Thomas_Reck: You did this from Ubuntu's "Hardware Drivers" application? [16:59] dee01, did you see my last message? sorry it's -R [16:59] fdsaseemslegit: negative, it is a dedicated virtual web server. [16:59] undecim: Yes [16:59] m_fulder the external IP probably points to your router [17:00] Thomas_Reck: Okay, when you log into the console, run "sudo service gdm restart" and see if you get back to a desktop [17:00] ZykoticK9: yes, thanks [17:00] xil u r sure it's grub2? [17:00] do you have the port forwarding set up? [17:00] forward port 80 on your router to the internal IP of your webserver [17:00] quit [17:00] \quit [17:00] KaiForce: Are you sauing you have not installed grub bootloader, or that you made no decision to install it and are unsure whether or not it is installed? [17:00] hi [17:00] undecim: So there it asks me to login i login? [17:00] undecim: there is no ouput [17:00] ZykoticK9: it looks like it would work... [17:00] ZykoticK9: i really hope this will solve a lot of problems... [17:01] mia158: Then Ubuntu doesn't recognize your device as a bluetooth device... You may need to install drivers for it [17:01] ericdaway, the thing is it does point to my router (server-comp) but the router has two network cards one external and one internal ... but I mean I can still connect to google so the ports out are open..then why can't I reach my router by its external IP ? [17:01] lambrz: I'm not sure of anything. I never checked the version of grub [17:01] i'm trying to get fulldisk encryption with a keyfile on usb stick to work, anyone knows how to do it? using "cryptkey=/dev/sdb1:ext3:/secretkey" in grub.cfg doesnt seem to work [17:01] ZykoticK9: hm, if i do ls -l the owner and group are still root [17:01] fdsaseemslegit: I have a fairly vanilla ubuntu installation. I believe GRUB is the bootloader, and there is a grub.d in /etc. this upgrade is saying I chose not to install grub. I haven't made such a choice. [17:01] undecim: So when it asks me to login im gonna login? [17:01] Thomas_Reck: Yes [17:01] undecim: shoudl I use 1.3 beta or 1.2 stable? [17:01] sacarison: I am klizzle1, renamed myself because I'm on a friend's comp. I've resized Windows partitions before, prefer not to do it again [17:01] fdsaseemslegit: is there somewhere I can post a screenshot? [17:02] dee01, what file/directory is this? [17:02] undecim: Okay, if it doesnt work i come back. [17:02] JuJuBee: Either one should be fine... try 1.2 at first, and then 1.3 if it doesn't work [17:02] undecim: This is just the internal bluetooth controller on the laptop. I'm not using a specific device, yet. My goal is to enbale the bluetooth radio on my laptop so it can discover and pair with an external device [17:02] ZykoticK9: the one from my home/dee01 [17:02] mia158: Ah, I remember this laptop model... It's got a really quirky bluetooth adapter === nick is now known as Guest94482 [17:02] undecim: can I apt-get install or shoudl I add the repo then apt-get install? [17:03] m_fulder, connect to webserver using address "localhost" or the internal ip address of you machine [17:03] dee01, i have no idea then? sorry.

[17:04] g_0_0, but I need to connect by the external IP ... I have several servers on different networks and on my "old" network I can connect just fine to the webhost using the external IP [17:04] dee01, i don't to upgrades (i think they are a BAD idea) - and don't even use #* for language like that. [17:04] undecim: it won't let me add the repo. Tells me my sudo password is wrong (but it is definitely not wrong). [17:04] Wut? [17:04] dee01: What's the problem? Maybe I can help [17:04] JuJuBee: Caps lock? [17:04] nope [17:05] lambrz: I don't know which grub it is. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 with Wubi, that's what I know [17:05] JuJuBee: Well that's just plain odd... Try typing "reset" and try agian [17:05] ZykoticK9: i like the ^#()$ language like that! ;) i use it in all my 6 languages! regualarly! and it is fun! at least the last fun on this strange ^#)%Y# planet :D [17:05] KaiForce: I believe, and I hope someone here will correct me if I am wrong, is that if you select y, that it will configure grub and update your grub.conf and you should be fine. there is also #grub, to answer one of your questions correctly ;) [17:06] HI all, Does anyone know of a good tutorial for imaging the OS? I'd like to be able to restore it if I happen to mess it up. [17:06] looks like I need a windows OS to fix this? [17:06] m_fulder, use a proxy or 7 [17:06] fdsaseemslegit: thanks, I feel much better now?? [17:06] dee01, it's no appropriate here. don't use that language at all. best of luck. [17:06] undecim: Is there a linux only work-around or fix?

[17:13] not really a function of teh OS [17:14] ericdaway no, it's working fine on another computer in the same NAT [17:14] hello all, when i try to install linux on my labtop(brand new hdd nothin on it) the ubuntu loading thing happens the purple screen with 5 dots, that loads for a bit, then a purple and grey checkered thing happens, and comp freezes, any ideas? [17:14] JuJuBee: Honestly, I have no idea. [17:14] undecim: the partition is ntfs.. because i also use it sometimes on my windows partition... could that be the problem?? [17:14] g_0_0, the IP address [17:14] Also should be able to draw on documents and it saves an overlay so when I open the app the overlay opens also... [17:14] dee01: Yes, it could very much be a problme [17:14] anyway to backup your system so that it can be restored easily? Will rsynch work? [17:14] dee01: yes. ntfs doesnt understand linux permissions [17:15] m_fulder: you can use a name instead of an ip address and have it looked up different depending if you on local net or outside [17:15] dee01: First of all, that's just a bad idea altogether.... [17:15] m_fulder, why don't you just access it with the internal ip addr? [17:15] dee01: Second of all, It will cause permission issues [17:15] hello all, when i try to install linux on my labtop(brand new hdd nothin on it) the ubuntu loading thing happens the purple screen with 5 dots, that loads for a bit, then a purple and grey checkered thing happens, and comp freezes, any ideas? [17:15] dee01: id have /home be part of your / and then make your ntfs mount at /data, then symlink /home/dee01/Music -> /data/Music [17:15] dee01: and suchlike [17:15] undecim: so format to ext-something... [17:15] (sorry for asking twice, i need my labtop for school x_x) we are starting our A+ today === Tarka_Uremasu is now known as Rafael [17:15] dee01: I would do something like what maco suggested [17:16] g_0_0, sure that will do :P [17:16] labtop, all my rage [17:16] maco: aha. ok. never heard about symlink but if it will make everything running again properly, then i will be more than happy! [17:16] LinuxNoob: try the 'nomodeset' option (when you see a man at the bottom screen hit space, then f6) [17:16] undecim: ok, i will try... [17:16] dee01: Are you in a console? [17:16] LinuxNoob: some nvidia cards hav4e issues untill the nvidia drivers are installed. [17:17] m_fulder: I use bind9 dns to do things like that so that depending if it's an outside or inside address I service with different ip return [17:17] LinuxNoob, or try the alternate live cd === iconiK is now known as rizzuh [17:17] undecim: yes [17:17] dee01: logged in as dee01?

I want the external IP to be shown on my "sourcebans" so players can connect to the servers from this site as well ... but while entering the internal IP sure the server willl be found but players can't connect via internal IP can't thay^^ [17:17] try f6 when i see the man [17:17] and the keyboard? [17:17] undecim: but i also could use gparted, right?

[17:19] on my / i got 2gb left [17:19] dee01: Alright, you should type "sudo -i" to get a root shell to work with this, if for nothing else than not writing to your home directory while we're working with it [17:19] k just plugged in my usb stick [17:19] m_fulder: pike a name you want your server to be local like myserver 192.168.2.222 in /etc/hosts is about all it takes [17:19] its couting in a black page [17:19] could someone please help me. Grub isn't finding my ubuntu, it isn't finding anything really [17:19] really fast [17:20] dee01: Just be careful with this shell :P [17:20] undecim: got the root shell [17:20] undecim: i understand [17:20] looks like its counting to 100 or somethin === jesus is now known as Guest71541 [17:20] sacarlson, you mean to change my internal IP ? How will that solve my problem? [17:20] dee01: Alright, lets unmount /home with "umount /home" [17:20] undecim: be carefull with your commands :D [17:20] nope went past 100 its at 108 now x_X [17:20] LinuxNoob: thats not the bios testing yoiu ram is it? [17:20] m_fulder: no I mean to define a name to the IP you plan to setup your server as [17:20] iunno [17:21] HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR EVERYONE [17:21] does the default install of Ubuntu include active firewalls ?

[17:21] Dr_Willis, ok thats what I thought [17:21] undecim: mmt, device is busy... [17:21] sacarlson, I dont think I quite understand :P ... I already have defined external/internal IPs ... why should I define a name to my? Ip ? [17:21] undecim: cant' get the driver to install in wine either... [17:21] LinuxNoob: bios options normally exist to disable that. [17:21] dee01: hmm... that's a problem I didn't forsee :P [17:22] m_fulder: that only works when your local network has one or just a few users that will be looking up the name [17:22] okay, now im at the gray and white lined screen again, i heard the linux startup thingy, but nothing else [17:22] JuJuBee: I'm afraid your only option is the VM then. [17:22] I guess. [17:22] dee01: Alright, change of plans... [17:22] bibic682: how about install it from software centre, you can't have more than 1 plugin for flash installed at once [17:22] LinuxNoob: you dident even see a liuttle man./logo at the bottom? perhaps you should of just been tappoing the space key as it was booting up.. its one of the first screens you see [17:22] Ah well, we gave it the good old college try. Thansk for the help [17:22] m_fulder: because you can have the same name that defines two ip's dependent on where you are looking from [17:22] dee01: Let's edit /etc/fstab and comment the /home line. [17:23] I will try that thanks [17:23] okay ill retry [17:23] dee01: use "nano /etc/fstab" (or whatever editor you prefer), find the line with "/home" and put a # at the beginning [17:23] m_fulder, externally is your server resolve via a domain name or ip address? [17:23] is there anyway to enable a right click and drag/drop like in windows? it is about the only option I miss from it [17:23] undecim: ok, done [17:23] m_fulder: same reason you don't type a number into your browser instead of typeing google.com [17:23] dee01: Now we need to reboot [17:23] LinuxNoob: if you are booting from a flash drive. You can edit the files on the flash and make nomodeset the default.. but i dontr rember whsat the file names were. other then that they are in the syslinux config files/dir [17:24] undecim: reboot the computer?? [17:24] lwizardl: Huh? [17:24] dee01: Yes [17:24] ok [17:24] dee01: When you reboot /home should be empty, but your files are okay [17:24] undecim: ok [17:24] dee01: Still a little bit more to do :P [17:24] undecim: shutdown -r now [17:24] lwizardl: click/drag. try the alt, and shift and ctrl keys. they make drag/drop doi differnt things.

[17:25] Dr_Willis, ok because what i'm looking to do is highlight say 3 files right click and drag to new folder and then select move to make sorting files quicker [17:25] denisesball: Open your system monitor and see if something's hogging the CPU [17:26] f6 refreshes the page, same page pops up [17:26] lwizardl: shift, ctrl and alt do that under the gnome file manager. [17:26] g_0_0, my server is resolved by IP address [17:26] Dr_Willis, k thanks [17:26] but Im making a DNS server for it now as well [17:26] DN * [17:26] LinuxNoob: somewhere theres a menu item to select options. try to find the one that has 'nomodeset' [17:26] hi all, I have been having problems with suspend (to ram) after upgrading to ubuntu 10.10, any ideas?

I have a VPS, and I want to use khtml2png2, but it requires x-windows server. Since this is a server, will I be able to run an x-server? [17:27] I have a problem theming the lockscreen. I want it to look awesome, so I downloaded a theme from Gnome-look.org. Next I converted the included .glade to .ui. Then I copied the folder with the images, and the .GTKRC file and the .UI file to /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/. Finally, I opened gconf-editor and changed apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_dialog_theme from 'default' to 'nsa' . now if I lock I get a black screen and have to reb [17:27] oot. Any ideas?? [17:27] sacrebleu: Probably not on a VPS [17:27] sacarlson: Although it may not need to run an X server [17:28] okay if i hit install to hdd, i get the ubuntu loading screen, then white and black lined screen x_X [17:28] lemme put the alternate on my usb [17:28] undecim: nothing is using CPU. its constantly 60 degrees or higher http://i.imgur.com/puIJl.jpg [17:28] LinuxNoob: the nomode set options where befor you hit the install to hd optionsmenu [17:28] u can see me sensor applet at 60 degrees plus [17:29] barely a load [17:29] i dont get that [17:29] denisesball, is the fan exhaust blocked? [17:29] g_0_0: definitely not, its blowing hot air out of it [17:29] denisesball: Laptops tend to build up dust and dirt inside, which can slow down fans, thermally insulate hardware, etc. Maybe you need to to get some canned air or a compresser and blow the dust out [17:30] denisesball: or... [17:30] im downloading the 10.04 install, going to see if that helps maybe [17:30] then i can just upgrade after i get it working [17:30] undecim: g_0_0: i actually just took this whole laptop apart to replace the hinges. inside was pretty clean and im pretty sure it started after moving to 10.10 [17:30] denisesball: Maybe your CPU is on "performance"? [17:30] (crosses fingers) [17:30] undecim: where do i set that? [17:30] terminal: connect to server using ssh? [17:30] hey could someone help me locate python2.6 tk package [17:30] g_0_0, and sacarlson ..so you mean if I set up a domain name for my server I should be able to connect by my external IP = DN ? [17:30] ssh host and what then? [17:31] LinuxNoob: ive needed the nomnodeset optiuoin for all my nvidia systems for the last 2 or 3 releases [17:31] 2.6.2 to be specific [17:31] denisesball: Easiest way to set it is to put a CPUFreq applet on your panel for each core. [17:31] LinuxNoob: untill i get the nvidia drivers installed. [17:31] undecim: it's set to on demand [17:31] lowest i can find is 2.6.3 [17:32] m_fulder: yes that's what domain name is all about and they are free at http://noip.com [17:32] m_fulder, if you setup a domain name - purchase a domain name - you can point it towards your external server ip addr, internally add the domain name to your /etc/hosts file with the internal ip addr and reference the server via its domain name [17:32] undecim: should i try conservative? [17:32] denisesball: Go for it [17:33] yeah, thats prob what i need, can i get a thing to teach me how to make it nomodset by default? cause apparently im not doing it right x_X [17:33] denisesball: Though at 97% idle, it shouldn't make a difference... [17:33] ah oki I think I get it now [17:33] undecim: doesnt seem to be helping, man this has been driving me nuts for months [17:33] anyone know where i can find tkinter for python 2.6.2 [17:33] m_fulder: that will setup the outside address for you, then you still have to setup a bind9 local dns server or modify /etc/hosts file for a single system to work without a local dns server [17:33] undecim: also, it doesnt run hot it windows [17:33] LinuxNoob: check the forums/install guides. I use thst option last time about 5+ mo ago. so cant rember exaxtly how [17:33] thank you dr_willis [17:33] ill look right now [17:33] denisesball: What is your current/max CPU freq? [17:34] undecim: where do i see that? [17:34] denisesball: If you have that CPUFreq applet, hover over to see current, click to see a list of possivle Frequencies [17:35] denisesball: possible* [17:35] undecim: it says 1GHz but goes up to 2GHz, but is set to ondemand setting === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [17:36] denisesball: I can see no reason for your computer to run hot, then [17:37] denisesball: Unless it's your GPU causing the heat [17:37] Is there an environmental setting I can use to make command line applications ignore proxy settings? [17:37] undecim: i have the same problem and it [17:37] hey everyone. Is there a way to see when my screensaver was active? [17:37] denisesball: But with 97% idle on CPU, that's unlikely.

[17:37] I'm getting a message: "The follow packages have been kept back: upstart" -- how can I find out what is causing the 'upstart' package to be help back> [17:37] like the last en who commandline tools, but then with info on when my screen was locked?

A real VM or something like OpenVZ? [17:52] 64bit still has more issues comparing to 32bit [17:52] briianBTB: did you chmod 755 [17:52] but this ssl thing is really annoying [17:52] gonna try the BIOS upgrade and see what the temp actually is in windows [17:52] I don't know what OpenVZ is, or for that matter what a fake VM might look like. This is running on ESXi. [17:52] thanks guys [17:53] KaiForce: Okay, so a fully virtualized system then...

[19:53] How can I display a message every time the terminal is started? [19:53] Well, I'l wait. [19:53] toyo_, or just use "sudo -i" for permanent root-privileges [19:53] Can I just add echo -n the message to .bashrc [19:53] KM0201, I do understand but so to do several things with the root ? [19:54] toyo, sudo -s [19:54] hooo thanks rumpe1! [19:54] and your account pwd [19:54] rumpe1, does that work with ssh as well when I log??

I was able to install Ubuntu 10.04 from CD, but, when I changed my boot order to use that second hard drive, I get the same problem. "Loading Operating System..." I let it sit there for 4 hours last night. [21:35] GatorAlli, ok what are you doing which should take less that 45 seconds? [21:35] its-me-again, use the transcode feature - you want just the audio track [21:35] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/331280/ - This script takes only a small fraction of a second on my slow internet connection. [21:36] so I have to edit the XML by hand [21:36] But on a server with at least 5 times my download speed, it just doesnt make any sense [21:36] wats the best vm for high end apps [21:36] like games 3d modeling etc [21:36] yes the mp3 so i can make a audio cd playable on any cdplayer with braero [21:37] Sup [21:37] Salaam [21:37] its-me-again, another way is to use 'youtube-dl' on terminal to download your youtube video and then ffmpeg to extract audio out of it. [21:37] cant find dwhwelper in firefox [21:37] and what if i do not use frefox that much [21:37] I wonder if anyone can help me with mac compiling woes [21:38] SOrry, got D/c [21:38] Should I see an application when I install VMWare on ubuntu?

[21:39] ubuntu sucks [21:39] oh [21:39] oh wait is youtube-dl terminal arg [21:39] whats hte best way to do this then? [21:39] guids: Hard drive boot systems work different than cdrom boot systems.

My DVD drive has been broken for a while (took it in right before warranty expired, turns out they didn't actually replace it/fix it) so I can't boot off of anything but the hard disk. [21:40] aadem: Ubuntu is a great system for day to day use, but it does things that are very un-linux (and even un-unix) like to give that ease of use. You'll learn more using slackware. [21:40] how can i get i tot a USB drive if ubuntu doenst work like that? [21:40] get it to* [21:41] Okay so ok I installed VMWareand rebooted... Can anyone tell me how the hell I use it now? [21:41] botcity: ther is deffinatly kn e dwhelper [21:41] Its not in Applications [21:41] vmplayer @ commandline [21:41] guids: Unetbootin is the normal solution, but CENTOS likely doesn't have a new enough version of Unetbootin. [21:41] guids: From inside of ubuntu it's easy to make a usb-bootable disc. Not sure if you can't boot from cdrom or from ubuntu already. Hopefully someone will be able to help [21:41] aadem, yes it is possible [21:41] ya, unetbootin craps out [21:41] Install VMPlayer?

[21:43] hehe yeah i just have been doing a lot of reading, and want to learn as much as i possibly can throughout my day to day linux use [21:43] botcity: compare video download helper and 1-click youtube downloader then ther are afew addons can do it [21:43] is there a BBcode editor for ubuntu? [21:43] mkanyicy: And it's a lot nicer getting your hands dirty with something like slackware or crux, than it is in ubuntu or debian. [21:44] Kyle__, i rest my case, i can imagine being handcuffed by other distro's , lol [21:44] well i figure console shows whats going on at the very bottom level, and understanding that = understanding linux [21:44] WXZ, does this suffice? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1496434 [21:44] but keep in mind i know everything i think now will eventually be proven wrong [21:44] does anyone know how to use wpa_supplicant??

[21:45] Granis: Younder - I wasnt doing it to find files, I was using it for the -exec feature [21:45] botcity: get twektube addon it can download adn also convert dn do other things in youtube [21:45] Nanoha: Has any OS booted on this new machine?

[21:45] needlez, I apologize that this ieems quite out-dated but you could certainly try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 [21:45] Kyle__, it goes without saying that the 50's chevy will be 'hands on' and the new honda 'hands off/hands free' [21:45] 15:39 < aadem> is it possible to learn as much about linux on ubuntu as i could on a dist such as....slackware if i choose to do everything i need done via the console?

[21:45] FSCK, I hate his laptop. [21:46] its-me-again: video download helper can convert strait to mp3 but there are better methods!

[21:47] R0b0t1: I don't suppose you have a usb->ide or usb->sata adapter you can use to hook up an external drive? Apple hardware is pretty forving in that respect...

[21:49] its-me-again: you can get better quality using terminal commands like converting using ffmpeg ! [21:49] Kyle___: Perhaps, I'll look into it. [21:49] R0b0t1: Did you install GRUB to a partition rather than the mbr? [21:49] R0b0t1: How long have you waited for it to boot? [21:49] Yeah, which is what you do when using EFI, iirc.

I use dwhelper to download most flash video, and it usually works fine without the flash plugin installed, though not always. [21:53] WXZ, and it's online too! no install required, haha. Imagine that. Alright, well I'll have to bookmark this then. Thanks. :) [21:53] !ot | peteski [21:53] peteski: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:54] !member [21:54] Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership [21:54] when using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for a web server… is a user's default home directory (/home/user-name) an appropriate place to host that user's websites (e.g. /home/user-name/website1.com)? Are there security implications of putting the sites here? I've seen some guides on setting up virtual hosts in Ubuntu and they use /var/www or /srv/www instead of the default home directories, but I'm not sure why [21:55] ChaosR: totem is solid, but slow in my experience. Try playing your video back with mplayer, see how it goes. [21:55] ofcourse [21:55] its-me-again, if you are a terminal guy then ffmpeg/mplayer are for you [21:55] its-me-again, otherwise stick to vlc [21:55] Kyle___: I am using mplayer, from svn [21:55] jenka: could you please go here and follow the directiosn on the page to generate a detailed report: http://nixgeek.no-ip.org/ [21:55] Kyle___: same problem with vlc and even chromium [21:55] ChaosR: Damn. OK. I'd just revert back to the opensource drivers then :( sorry. [21:55] WXZ, Well, I suppose as long as it gets the bulk of it out of the way it'll be alright to go back and fix the few things it misses, eh? So long as it does most of the work for you, awesome lol [21:56] mkaay: ok thansk vlc it is [21:56] ChaosR: On my wimpy netbook, I can watch full screen 1080i and 720p video with mplayer, but it's a slideshow with totem. [21:56] adn now whats the best to downlod youtube [21:56] ChaosR: If you're using a svn of mplayer :) yea, it's the drivers, nothign to do but revert. [21:56] Kyle___: yeh, I know the issue [21:56] open question, how many uses wobbling windows in compiz? is it fun in the beg, and then annoying later? [21:56] R0b0t1: BTW, if you used AppleCare then you should have a 90 day additional warrantee after the "repair" IIRC. [21:56] Kyle___: opensource didnt have 3d support though [21:56] its-me-again, Just let the video fully load, then go to /tmp and it'll be there. [21:57] ChaosR: Hum. Using it for games? [21:57] Kyle___: yeh [21:57] nemetos: personally, it has about a month before i start getting annoyed by it [21:57] damn. [21:57] ChaosR: what about the opengl driver in mplayer? [21:57] st really thats a need trick if it is [21:57] its-me-again, Just copy/paste, cut/paste, click-and-drag or whatever to where you want it (otherwise it will eventually be deleted since the /tmp stuff is of course temporary) [21:58] i can't watch videos on youtube, how can i install 64bit flash player? [21:58] its-me-again, install 'youtube-dl' [21:58] permision on groups [21:58] !flash | asdf14 [21:58] R0b0t1: could you use macfuse (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/) and fuse-ext2 (http://alperakcan.org/?open=projects&project=fuse-ext2) to read the ubuntu file system? Once you manage to read it, you should be able to set up grub to boot an iso to diagnose your problems [21:58] asdf14: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [21:58] ChaosR: Or I suppose you could see if there's a way to set per-user video drivers...make a games user for the ATI driver, other users use the xorg driver? [21:58] its-me-again, its a terminal application [21:58] Kyle___: nah, that would be to troublesome [21:58] another problem. I just bought a HP tmt2 touchsmart laptop. I want to install Ubuntu on it. I think there is a screen resolution problem during the install. Is there a way I can force the screen resolution to something like 1024x768 or text only maybe? [21:58] its-me-again, Yeah it's handy. I use it myself somewhat often. Just let the video load all the way and you're good to go. (If it's not all the way loaded you won't get a thumbnail in /tmp so that's an easy way to tell [21:58] ChaosR: I figured as much, but it's been something I've been tmepted to try on occasion... === kthomas_vh_ is now known as kthomas [21:59] !gnash [21:59] does any one has a tutorial or grups and permissions? [21:59] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [21:59] its-me-again, you can give 'acetoneISO' a shot, ... it should be able to download youtube videos and extract audio to mp3 from the video [21:59] Nanoha, System->Preferences->Monitors [21:59] ubottu, group permitions [21:59] this is BEFORE all that, during the install with a CD [22:00] Kyle___: interestingly enough, gl_nosw doesnt seem to have the stutter [22:00] toyo_, google for 'RUTE Linux Tutorial Exposition' [22:00] mkaay: ok i got soem ideas now i am going to first try the firefox addon TweakTube then no need to download files lol [22:01] Nanoha, Oh, I'm not sure on that. Sorry. [22:01] toyo_: you could use the gui interface to alter permissions ! [22:01] toyo_, read the whole book: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz [22:01] Nanoha: on the first screen of the cd you have options to set the resolution etc, if you dont even make it onto the first screen I think you might have to go with the "alternate install" disc which is text based [22:01] botcity, thanks! [22:02] for 10.04? I don't remember seeing that screen [22:02] hi all [22:02] its-me-again, There's really no need to download programs. If all you're doing is downloading YouTube videos just go to your /tmp folder. It'll be there because to watch it you have to download it, and because you're downloading it it has to go somewhere. [22:02] how could I know if I am using i686 or amd64 version of 10.10 ? [22:02] aLeSD: uname -m [22:03] Jordan_U, i686 ... is it possible to sitch to amd64 ? [22:03] 10.04, hmm not sure, I havent done a fresh install for a while, but I'm sure its there, where you get offered the choice to run memtest etc, there is a menu type thing at the bottom of the screen [22:03] switch [22:03] aLeSD: Not without re-installing. [22:03] Starminn, but you dont want to watch it before you download it sometimes [22:03] Jordan_U, thanks [22:03] starcoder: ok i get it [22:04] mkanyicy, Alright, I can understand that. :) [22:04] aLeSD: Unless you have >4GB of ram, or are doing rather specific calculations, there really ins't a need for the 64bit install. [22:04] aLeSD: Admittedly video/mp3 encoding sometimes falls into those categories, but hey :) [22:05] Starminn: With a recent update the flash plugin uses an interesting *NIX trick and unlinks the temporary files immediately after creating them. I have a script which undeletes them though (as they aren't truly deleted untill all file handles are closed). [22:05] Starminn, secondly, does youtube videos stay in /tmp folder or in firefox cache folders? [22:05] Jordan_U: If you use chrome it doesn't unlink them :) [22:05] mkanyicy, they're in /tmp until you close your browser [22:05] Jordan_U: I don't know why, and they'll probably fix it eventually..but for now. [22:05] Kyle___: I do use chrome, and it does for me. [22:05] Jordan_U: Really? Hum. I wonder why the difference... [22:06] mkanyicy, There you go. I wasn't sure when the get deleted but apparently when you close your browser. :) Thanks, ZykoticK9 [22:06] ZykoticK9, see, there a lot of hickups here [22:06] anyone use insserv to manage upstart?.. [22:06] Kyle___: I don't think it's a bug. It's actually a pretty clever thing to do, and means that temporary files won't be left around if the flash plugin crashes. [22:06] Jordan_U: Which seems to happen more frequently than a windows crash. Ugh. [22:06] 411 [22:07] is there a way to tell emacs, or any other prog, which side of the screen to open the window on. i know -g numXnum will size the screen [22:07] * Kyle___ agrees. [22:07] Jordan_U, thats NOT clever [22:07] aadem: I think it respects the --geometry flag (old old x programs usually do). [22:07] aadem: The geometry flag also can set the target location. [22:07] hi [22:08] Jordan_U, sometimes I had dedicated a partition to /tmp folder and made /etc/defaults/rcS to not delete /tmp files [22:08] Kyle ill research that thanks :) [22:08] mkanyicy: It's very common practice to create a temp file, open it, then ulnink it. Very common. [22:08] for some reason I cant ./configure x-chat.. Could not run GLIB test program,.. [22:08] mkanyicy: "clever" in the context of computer science is often used as an insult rather than praise :) [22:08] any ideas? [22:08] Jordan_U, now if they will be deleted by programs, especially video which costs bandwidth do download it again, then there is a problem [22:08] Does Ubuntu's package naming convention correspond to the upstream vendor? For example the package: nginx (0.7.67-3ubuntu1)... can I assume that is the nginx 0.7.67 source with ubuntu specific modifications only? [22:08] mkanyicy: Peek through the lion book. [22:09] Jordan_U, ok, i understand [22:09] starcoder: sorry i am watching a youtube video its not in /tmp folder sorry you are compleatly wrong [22:09] I get configure: error: "Cannot find glib" where im trying to make xchat [22:09] Silowyi: I don't believe so, because all official ubuntu packages (someone correct me) are _their_ packages. Ubuntu maintained and compiled. [22:09] In effect they are the upstream vendor [22:09] what do I do? [22:10] its-me-again, what are you using? VLC? [22:10] Kyle___: that seems fairly unlikely... [22:10] Kyle___: but my machine will go faster with 64 bit system [22:10] Silowyi: All the packages are open-source. Ubuntu maintains their own trees & builds, often applying patches. [22:10] Kyle__, is it ? [22:11] armoundu: why do yo compile it yourself? [22:11] its-me-again, Hmm. That's interesting. I just fired up a video and it's in my /tmp folder. So many variables to consider, though. I just know it works for me. *shrug* I'm using Firefox 4 Beta 10 too which may have something to do with it. [22:11] *you [22:11] aLeSD: Not neccesarily. It may, it may not. It depends on the ammount of ram, the software, etc. [22:11] mkanyicy: Kyle___: its-me-again: And anyone else interested in my script to undelete flash's temporary files, http://pastebin.com/LHxGWq7D replace "chrome" with your browser of choice. [22:12] mkanyicy: Starminn said youtube files when finished streeming are downloaded to /tmp folder i tryed but it is not [22:12] Jordan_U: Sweet. Thank you. [22:12] Kyle___: You're welcome. [22:12] could someone help with backtrack? [22:12] starcoder: what are you on about it does nto go in /tmp ok [22:12] when I click Places->Home Folders it opens VLC [22:12] * Kyle___ impatiently waits for his old athlon to finish with the install. [22:12] its-me-again, did you close firefox? [22:12] !backtrack | Edd [22:12] Edd: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [22:12] exacly with intel wireless card configuration? [22:13] stthat is an old outdated bersion or its to new adn beta ar nto the best versions of any app to use everday [22:13] tlab, that's strange [22:13] mkanyicy: no [22:13] its-me-again, Yeah I mean they do for me but again, so many variables to consider. Sorry I couldn't help. Use others' suggestions though. :) That's the beautiful thing of Linus -- No "one right way" to do things. [22:13] Linux* (so close together -- the 's' and 'x'_ [22:13] Starminn: whatis linus is that a typo fir linux lol [22:14] Starminn: that would be how linux got it's name... [22:14] Linus Torvalds is the guy who made Linux. I normally wouldn't correct it but people may think I was talking about him, haha. :) [22:14] tlab, drag it to desktop, an icon will be created, click on the icon again [22:15] is there a repo that has mod_python trunk? [22:15] *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. [22:15] how do I solve this? [22:15] mkaay, that works [22:15] mkanyicy, that works [22:15] Starminn: Linux is a typo of Linus Torvalds, the creater of linux, first name [22:15] !Restricted [22:15] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [22:16] hello?

[22:17] rca's its a longer cable [22:17] !askthebot > Kyle__ [22:17] Kyle__, please see my private message [22:17] heh ok I'll google some more [22:17] NixGeek: I never installed it in the first place. [22:17] Im running ubuntu off a CD [22:19] guntbert, :) Fair enough. [22:19] armoundu: thats explains alot, you didn't check your checksums, did you? you have a corrupt cd. also, glib is a package that is installed default on ubuntu, and the livecd also, it's a base package. [22:19] hi all [22:19] Hey guys [22:19] how can I set the sound level at say 50% on startup, from GDM through to gnome startup, independently of how loud it was when I logged off/switched off on Ubuntu 10.10 [22:19] So followup question, how to determine binary compatibility between ubuntu releases and upstream vendor releases. [22:20] NixGeek: there was an error when it first started about the control panel didnt pay much attention to it. so you're saying I should download it and burn a new cd? [22:20] Silowyi: "Upstream vendor releases"? [22:20] linux is the name linus gave ubuntu its a play on words mixture of minux the operating system he was using and i believe he baised it on and linus his name === behrooz is now known as Guest194 [22:20] sorry gave linux [22:20] so like what version of nginx is the package nginx (0.7.67-3ubuntu1) on Maverick [22:20] not ubuntu [22:20] what is the shortcut key to run terminal? [22:20] I'm trying to install 10.10 but having trouble getting Ubuntu to recogonize my HD as available installation space. [22:20] is it similar to nginx's 0.7.67 release, or is it based on nginix 0.9... [22:20] armoundu: try alt+t [22:20] etc. [22:20] joeoshawa, actually Linux didn't use that name, someone else did. [22:20] not a typo [22:21] Silowyi: http://packages.ubuntu.com [22:21] armoundu: but i like to set it up as alt+f3 [22:21] hi [22:21] armoundu: yep, or at lease !checksum your iso to see if it's the problem, or if the disk is the problem. [22:21] !checksum | armoundu [22:21] armoundu: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:21] hi all [22:22] well according to an interview he gave it was him and the people working on it when the whole thing started but he was very vague about it so who exactly came up with it i don't know [22:22] !ot [22:22] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:23] lousygarua1, Tried ALT+t in 10.10, apparently it's CTRL+ALTt. [22:23] CTRL+ALT+t (typo) [22:23] anyway can anyone help me with my svideo problem why does it work when i convert it to rbg rca but not svid to svid [22:23] how do I do a checksum for a cd? [22:23] Starminn: good to know :) [22:24] it is just a svideo to rca cable [22:24] joeoshawa: Eh? what conversion? The card outputs svideo or rca it sounds like. What converts? [22:24] Jordan_U: doesn't seem like the info is there, but thanks [22:24] armoundu: did you not just see the message (with links in it) from the ubunut irc bot? [22:24] !checksum | armoundu [22:24] armoundu: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:24] I got fuse-ext2 installed, so that I can (apparently) interact with my Ubuntu partitions from OSX. Is there a way to reinstall GRUB from OSX? [22:24] <_jorde> My ubuntu 10.10 keeps reverting to old gnome-style graphics [22:24] <_jorde> does anyone have an idea how to let it maintain the current graphic style? [22:24] as above i have a svideo to rbg component [22:24] lousygarua1, I agree. I didn't even know such a shortcut existed so thanks to you as well. [22:24] it is a cable [22:24] Silowyi: Debian package versions are based on the upstream source version. [22:24] <_jorde> the theme is set correctly, but the icons and bars etc are old gnome-style [22:25] but i want to use svideo to svideo but not working [22:25] joeoshawa: Svideo and rca are, I believe, different formats. If it's just a passthrough, maybe it's a card-specific cable, and not a general svide-rca adapter. [22:25] so I need to do it through windows [22:25] ? [22:25] Jordan_U: lol that was my initial question [22:25] I dont know how to find the file thorugh linux [22:25] joeoshawa: What happens if you use it on a different svideo source? [22:25] hello [22:26] what do you mean different source [22:26] other then the comptuer? [22:26] computer [22:26] !ubuntu+1 [22:26] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [22:26] joeoshawa: Like, for instance, a dvd player with an svideo out. [22:26] how to copy files on SAMBA ? [22:26] don't have another source [22:26] never used a dvd thats svid [22:26] Natty Narwhal? Not impressed with the naming on this one. >_< [22:27] all my av is comptuer [22:27] computer [22:27] joeoshawa: OK. But you have a cable that looks like it will do svideo out from your video card, and the display is all nuts when you try it? [22:27] joeoshawa: But not when you try rca out? [22:27] Do you have a question about S-Video? [22:28] yeah the rca is a cable i have thats svideo on one end and rgb on the other [22:28] wow, compiz has some really awesome stuff [22:28] the card is only svideo [22:28] Hi, can anybody give me some hints of the easiest way to recompile and install a kernel module? [22:28] how do I access files from the windows filesystem on the terminal? [22:28] joeoshawa: do you mean rca or component? [22:29] component [22:29] component is the actual signal rca is the cable [22:29] <_jorde> what do you mean RCA? [22:29] arm use mount i believe [22:29] joeoshawa:Ahh. OK. Works on component, but not on svideo. Drop your resolution to 800x600 60hz. See if it works. [22:29] <_jorde> RCA is a type of connector [22:29] armoundu-use nautilus...(file manager) [22:29] will try it [22:29] hi Dwade09 [22:30] Dwade09: still using linuxmint 10 gnome?

[22:51] Sorry >_< [22:51] thanks [22:51] ubuntu-fr [22:52] Nanoha: The "boot flag" is mostly a windows thing. You should install grub to the MBR (as Ubuntu's installer does by default) and then the boot flag doesn't matter. [22:52] Jordan_U: how so [22:52] magicianlord: I don't understand the question. [22:53] Jordan_U, the "boot flag" is a BIOS thing, not OS specific [22:53] Does anyone know an alternative or addition to "dpkg --get-selections" which will retrieve only the packages which weren't pulled in as dependencies? (I'm preparing to upgrade a system from Lubuntu Jaunty to Maverick by reinstalling and I don't want to have to manually cook up a list of the stuff to reinstall) [22:53] Jordan_U: how do I do that?

[22:54] rww, well, i'll certainly take your word on that. my bad Jordan_U. [22:55] anyways, yeah. GRUB doesn't care about boot flags.

[23:40] erUSUL: I'll try booth via thumbdrive [23:41] JakeVengeance: because Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition uses something called Mutter to display its UI, and Mutter runs horribly on some netbooks. [23:41] kimyong: if it just drops to grub without any error message like " giving up waiting for root device " or root device foo not found or something like that ... [23:41] sacarlson, is it the same as microsoft exchange server on windows [23:41] erUSUL: npoe nothing at all [23:41] rww, do they plan on imporving it anytime soon? btw I use 10.04 [23:41] I use Midgin for Ubuntu and have lost the IRC-password, but can be logged in here.

Ubuntu 11.04 will use Compiz instead, which is a lot less horrible. [23:41] kimyong: really weird. usually there is a reason no matter how cryptic [23:41] helpmee: lspci | grep -i vga [23:42] exit [23:42] rww, I run desktop edition and even with a lot of compiz effects for fun it runs 10x better then netbook.

[23:53] quantumtransfer: use my nick at the beginning when you respond so it highlights me .. easier to see.. to answer the question yes.. but one step at a time. [23:54] __yhvh__: you either need to edit /etc/sudoers (use the « sudo visudo » command) and add a "will ALL=(ALL) ALL" line or create a group and set it up in your /etc/sudoers then add will to that group (your file has the line for the "sudo" group commented; but make sure the "sudo" group exists if you do this). Regardless, always use « sudo visudo » to edit sudoers, never edit directly [23:54] izinucs ok [23:54] quantumtransfer: perfect :) [23:54] <__yhvh__> jrib: I tried duplicating the nungu user line in visudo to no avail [23:54] quantumtransfer: do you have dual monitors hooked up?
