[00:00] that is such a pain.. i'm spending my freetime with such a mess which should pretty much work out of the box [00:00] is it possible to install winff,devede & imagination and they work? when i try to install devede and imagination i get a message telling me that i have to remove certain libavcodec files (ubuntu 10.10) [00:00] Duck79: so get it in ver 0.97 or such [00:00] DasEi: Why did you install 8.04 rather than 10.04? [00:00] th0r: The clock on the panel is five hours behind, but when I click on it, it shows the correct time zone, city, and even the correct time, but the clock above it is wrong [00:00] Jordan_U: I'm helping Duck... [00:01] DasEi - so do I look for an older version and downloaed and install it on the ubuntu 8.04? === icaro is now known as Guest45849 [00:01] W43372: there is a hw clock and when you installed linux you probably told it to set the hw clock to local time. Then on bootup the system tries to adjust that time for the local timezone. I think it will fix the problem if you tell ubuntu to set the hw clock to utc [00:01] Duck79: it's a cd you burn and then boot from it (or use a usb-stick) [00:01] th0r how do I do that? === Guest45849 is now known as icaro_ [00:01] ActionParsnip when i download somthing my speed conec is near32 ko [00:01] Duck79: Why did you install 8.04 rather than 10.04? [00:02] W43372: not sure....want me to google it for you? [00:02] Duck79: it autodetects installs of os'es and grub, and also has an repair option [00:02] kimboub: its a known bug [00:02] no [00:02] th0r sure, that would be cool. [00:02] kimboub: no what? [00:02] kimboub: i'm telling you, it is a bug [00:02] is not bg [00:02] bug [00:03] not bug [00:03] Dasei - ah got it thanks. Sounds like it would probably be less hassle to just reinstall 8.04 but this time without it's grub. Oh I installed it just for fun + to check out my old graphics card which 8.04 likes alot. [00:03] kimboub: why is it not a bug? and how? [00:03] how can i see in a mobo the chipset used for the cpu? [00:03] Duck79, just read about grub and add mint to menu.lst [00:03] W43372: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=set+ubuntu+hw+clock+to+utc&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest [00:03] I'm trying to install a 2nd video card to get a 3rd monitor to work. one is ATI and one is nVidia. if I can see the boot screen (ubuntu w/ the dots underneath) on the new 3rd monitor, but it goes black after that screen - is that indicitive that I should be able to get this working and just my xorg.conf if messed up, or will this not work at all? [00:03] its pretty easy [00:04] kimboub: i've seen peopledisable acpi to maybe get more speed. It IS a bug, if there wasn't a bug it'd work wouldn't it. Think about it [00:04] why is wlan0 down in iwlist? [00:04] because myProvider give 128 ko [00:05] vivid - yeh have been doing a bit of reading on that - is it difficult to do? [00:05] kimboub: then shouldnt you hit 128kb? [00:05] no [00:06] kimboub: so whats the issue then? [00:06] Duck79, easy stuff, just read about grub legacy [00:06] vivid -grub legacy? === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [00:06] i explain what i want [00:06] grub legacy is what we call the old grub that youve installed [00:06] i want to have more then 32 ko simply [00:07] when i download [00:07] vivid-ah ok got you. Sure [00:07] kimboub: there is te bug then, try the acpi=off bootoption [00:07] how do I run a program via ssh x forward on the server and client simultaneously ? [00:08] why is wlan0 down? [00:08] does anyone know a version of ubuntu that i can run imagination/devede/winff on without having to remove some of the libvcodec files? [00:08] LucyIntheSky: MAYBE xpra? [00:09] preecher: they willallact the same, they areexactly the same under the hood [00:09] anyone here got experience with PPAs on launchpad, as well as building .debs? could use some help debugging a .deb package i'm trying to upload to a ppa [00:09] EvilPhoenix: try #ubuntu-packaging or #launchpad [00:10] vivid + DasEi - thanks for your help.

[00:13] preecher: I'd assume so but I've not used mint as its support isn't as large as ubuntu's in community [00:14] hello [00:14] Guest13942, those two boards use completely different CPUs, almost nothing in them is compatible between the two [00:14] ActionParsnip abecause to surf you must have line phone [00:14] Guest13942: the asrock is a socket 775 motherboard [00:15] ActionParsnip thanks---i guess its alot easier to see before jumping the gun for another install [00:15] kimboub, you're not making any sense [00:15] Matr|x: what is the output of:wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [00:15] vivid, oh... is it stupid to say Intel 845G is not the LGA 775 socket? or are those things not same function? [00:15] Guest13942, Intel 845G is the chipset on the motherboard, has nothing to do with the cpu socket [00:16] Hi there i was looking for a free solution to manage several ubuntu machines in my network so thata i can control software versions in all of them. is there a solution for this? [00:16] the socket on the second board isnt mentioned, but i can gurantee you an old P4 will not be LGA775 [00:16] Guest13942, ##hardware ,as thats offtopic here [00:16] MagmaRules: use ssh [00:16] ActionParsnip http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=bea2f495d1ddd9a4ce047fb36fe6a1beedd310f0 [00:16] bazhang, i know and i am sorry, but i can t connect to hardware and i don t know how to do it...

[01:04] I may be blind, but where it the release schedule for natty? [01:04] *it=is [01:05] there used to be release schedule pages for the version that's coming up, but I can't find it (neither can google) [01:05] that would answer FoolishOwl's question as well :P [01:05] :) [01:05] I fixed my MBr [01:05] Now, my question is - How do I load up my windows? >.< [01:05] Yes.

[01:07] I was just released from the hospital so [01:07] no outside comunication until now [01:07] Oh [01:07] Cody3290, install grub and reboot [01:07] Sorry for your lots [01:07] lots? [01:07] I did install grub, now I can't seem to be able to load xp [01:07] loss, rather [01:07] I didn't loose anything [01:07] and by loss I mean loss of time. [01:07] oh [01:07] from being in the hospital. [01:07] well that I lost [01:08] but whatever [01:08] Hello!

I need to change the permissions of my kindle, as it is currently a read only device. any help to do this would be great. thanks [01:10] :O [01:10] THe kindle is compatible with linux? [01:10] wel [01:10] until the recent update [01:10] W3ird_N3rd, thank you. [01:10] Through Wine, ain't it. [01:10] yes, absolutely. [01:10] x.e [01:10] however, ever since the recent update, I've had problems. [01:10] Jordan_U:?? [01:10] buuutt.. other kindle linux users are telling they're not having the problem I am! [01:10] Interesting. Sorry for leading you on, I can't really help you. Only been a week or so on Linux myself [01:11] Rebooting, br [01:11] brb [01:11] I did not see any mesa update from synaptic but should I do an update by building ? === Guest21169 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest96496 [01:13] it's actually been quite a pain for me. I had the kindle 3 days before the update came out. as soon as that happened, i can't transfer any files. [01:14] Ok. Weird. [01:15] I installed WinXP, and have fixed my MBR. Now ubuntu loads, but straight away, and I have no option to load up XP [01:15] "sudo start doesrailswork" just says "stop/waiting" http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=yhyQqGjj [01:15] if you chown/chmod stuff under var, e.g. /var/log/mysql.err, does it automatically get reset? if so, what does it? [01:15] Q: I have onboard AMD/ATI video but also have a PCIe ATI video card. Onboard works awesome in Ubuntu. How do I get the 2nd video adapter to kick in? [01:15] Thanks! [01:16] Hi, I was just trying to modify my partition table and GParted buggered up. [01:16] Could someone point me in the right direction for restoring my partition table? I have the details etc. [01:17] navatwo, "buggered up"?? [01:17] navatwo: I am no pro on this. But AFAIK if you assemble a grub config file matching your existing partitions (that are bootable), you should be in business [01:17] if Grub can run you can boot to any accessible volume [01:18] epicenter: Its not grub thats broken. noah the operations for moving failed. [01:18] failed how? [01:18] My typical solution for a busted partition table is to move out any data that can be salvaged, remove all partitions and set up new ones [01:19] then move it back [01:19] hmm [01:19] Though I've not encountered a partition table that just shit the bed out of nowhere; it must relate to a new OS install or attempt [01:19] noah: it told me to save the details and that the partition movement failed. I have the file. [01:19] so, i *think* I need to change my file permissions of the system, but I'm told it's a read only file system... and I need to sign in as root to do that? [01:19] I'm just gonna reinstall ubuntu [01:19] sudo is for root, i believe [01:19] navatwo, show details. [01:20] iiicyg: I will upload it, one second. [01:20] yeah, but i dont know how to change permissions via the terminal [01:20] navatwo, http://paste.ubuntu.com [01:20] once i figure that out, hopefully I'll be home and dry. [01:20] iiicyg: its an HTML files. [01:20] I'm really curious if someone can figure this out. I have onboard video AND a PCIe graphics card hooked up to the 2nd monitor. Ubuntu does not immediately activate the 2nd. Where should I start looking to get this sucker running? [01:21] Both cards are AMD/ATI made [01:21] epicenter: install the proprietary drivers for your graphics card. [01:21] I have a NAS that I mount as CIFS, recently I've been getting an error at the start of booting about not being able to use the socket, I think it's error 101. Oddly enough, the NAS is still available for use by simplebackup, but what was happening is that right after the backup was written the system would hang (cursor still moves) with high CPU. Descheduling the backup ended that issue. [01:21] navatwo, http://dump.bitcheese.net/ [01:21] iiicyg: and noah http://paste.ubuntu.com/579088/ [01:22] navatwo: Ihave installed the prop. drivers (ATI Catalyst Ctrl Ctr.) and only the onboard is seen [01:22] navatwo, ok/ [01:22] iiicyg: noah http://dump.bitcheese.net/files/ojijuxe/gparted_details.htm easier to read version. [01:22] In Windows, the ATI Ctrl. Ctr. will find both cards as both share one giant driver pack. [01:23] epicenter: how are you looking for the monitors? Through the ctrl center? [01:23] Navatwo: Yes. [01:23] brasil [01:23] brasil [01:23] me tranfere para o brasil [01:23] navatwo, you could try what it suggests, assuming you care about your ntfs partition [01:24] "NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!" [01:24] "Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!" [01:24] ^-) [01:24] I just saw that, the issue is I'm not sure I want to reboot.. [01:24] !br | kaloid [01:24] kaloid: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [01:24] Although, the other partitions which contain windows/ubuntu seem OK. [01:25] navatwo, be sure. [01:25] navatwo, yeah, the log seems to be saying things are fine except the ntfs partition [01:25] #ubuntu-br [01:25] ofc, that one has over 600gb of media on it. >.> [01:25] hello im running maverick livecd in virtualmachine and I need space. if i try to remove --purge applications it wont allow.... HELP [01:25] kaloid, /join #ubuntu-br [01:26] navatwo, don't panic, just do it. [01:26] need_space, static? or allowed to grow as needed [01:26] navatwo: Where is the best place to analyze installed devices? [01:26] bazhang: none just the cd [01:26] For some reason, I am no longer being asked for a password whenever I used sudo or gksudo. It just automatically grants root permissions, even though I haven't used sudo/gksudo since starting this session. [01:26] navatwo: or detected devices without drivers [01:26] bazhang: livecd [01:26] epicenter: google.. lspci is a good start to get full names though. [01:26] `lspci`* [01:26] navatwo: The log also seems to show that no resize was attempted as an already existing problem was detected. [01:26] anyways [01:26] brb [01:26] Opie, it finished eventually, everything is installing and working well, my friend says thanks [01:27] need_space, its not installed? [01:27] bazhang: no [01:27] Jordan_U: implyying? [01:27] navatwo: I know all the details. I need to know if the kernel loaded a driver for it or not [01:27] need_space, then that wont work [01:27] bazhang: why not [01:27] navatwo: Implying that there is nothing that needs to be reverted that gparted has done. [01:27] hmm [01:27] need_space, its a fixed size. the cd is not resizable [01:27] TheMusicGuy, does relevant /etc/sudoers line say NOPASSWD ? [01:27] so essentially, gparted is upset over nothing? [01:27] bazhang: how can I add swap to it [01:28] over something* but it hasn't affected anything [01:28] need_space, you dont [01:28] noah, no [01:28] navatwo: No, there is a problem. It's just a problem that existed before you started doing anything with gparted. [01:28] thats an horrible answer [01:28] anyway, brb. going into windows. [01:28] Jordan_U: thanks :) [01:28] I'm stuck in 800x600 low-graphic mode and Ubuntu freezes at boot if I don't choose the failsafe option. GPU drivers are installed correctly. Maybe the GPU is dead? [01:28] noah: and iiicyg thanks as well. [01:28] oh dear I dont seem to be too good at this =( [01:29] need_space, there is no solution unless you install. asking to manipulate a livecd just wont work [01:29] navatwo, you are welcome :-) [01:29] TheMusicGuy, what do you mean by "this session"? i think sudo uses timeouts that remain in place even if you log out and back in [01:29] Hello, I want to set a file to have the permissions -rw-r---r-- 1 root root 64 -------- how can I do this? [01:29] Can anyone help me get WiFi working in shell? [01:29] bazhang: I could remove programs.. [01:29] Jimmey, chmod 644 foo [01:30] Jimmey: sudo chmod 644 file [01:30] !wifi | Whisky_ have a read [01:30] Whisky_ have a read: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:30] need_space, from a livecd? no you cant [01:30] And don't forget chown root:root [01:30] k bazhang [01:30] recognosco, noah, thanks [01:30] normally I am aksed for the password every time I open a new terminal window and use sudo/gksudo. In this case, however, all newly-opened terminal windows and dekstop icons with gksudo in them, etc, all act as if I had already entered the password. [01:31] TheMusicGuy: That's normal for a few minutes after you have antered your password. [01:31] Could this be caused by having a sudo'd command running from one of the text ttys? [01:32] Jordan_U, not for me it isn't. This has never happened before. [01:32] Ok, hopefully this is a simple question: Now I've managed to get the terminal to recognise my kindle, what is the code to change its permissions? thank you! [01:32] Is there a way to add a script to the suspend on lid close? [01:33] K4k, a script to do what [01:33] To suspend. [01:33] iiicyg: and Jordan_U so, I think chkdsk just checks teh current drive/partition, not all of them. [01:33] K4k, yes. [01:34] bazhang: It checks what my IP is and if it's one of a certain subnets it will start a file sync to my server [01:34] can some one help me with the following error `bind': Address already in use - bind(2) (Errno::EADDRINUSE) [01:35] shaneo: sounds like some other program is already listening on the port. [01:35] bazhang: installing [01:35] iiicyg: I should be more specific. I'm using gnome-power-manager and does it use the scripts under acpi, pm or something else? [01:35] meh [01:35] nvm, got it. [01:35] how do i find out what progam [01:35] shaneo: what program are you starting? [01:35] I need some help getting my wifi to work on my netbook [01:35] mike_, what chipset === debarshi is now known as Guest266 === mike_ is now known as Guest91512 [01:36] ummmm === need_space is now known as whois [01:37] while I'm waiting for help on the CIFS issue... is it smooth (no or few manual config changes) and worth it to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 [01:37] j_ayen_green, yes [01:37] n/m got it [01:37] shaneo: cool! [01:37] bazhang, nice. why doesn't update manager offer it? [01:38] j_ayen_green, check to allow non-lts [01:38] bazhang, ah, ok. thanks :) [01:38] bazhang, but i guess i need to get my cifs issue resolved first, so I can back up :-s [01:38] still havn't got it working. i did make a thread, but i havnt recieved an answer on it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1703814 [01:39] soooooo......... lol. any good audio converters out there? As far as WMA --> MP3 without worrying about DRM [01:39] Fopp: is it mounted? i do not know how kindle is connected [01:40] hey guys i'm brand new to using ubuntu server, but have experience with ubuntu desktop and i'm trying to setup raid 5 for the first time my first concern is that when i sudo fdisk -l all i'm seeing is the 3 drives attached ot the mobo and not the additional 4 drives attached to the daughterboard (my mobo has a daughterboard configuration no i dont mean a pci card) [01:40] ricorx: via usb [01:40] bazhang: Do you happen to know what gnome-power-manager does to start suspending on lid close? I would like to run this script before it tries to run any of it's normal suspend actions [01:40] Anyone know anything about getting WiFi to work on a netbook? [01:40] A|i3N, it has drm? [01:40] Guest91512, I asked you what chipset [01:40] Guest91512: that's a bit vague. Do you have the brand/model of the laptop? [01:40] Fopp: did you type mount and make sure its not read only [01:41] No, but im not sure how to do that. [01:41] type "mount" [01:41] ok [01:42] ah terminal has thrown some stuff at me. i will paste bin it. [01:42] http://pastebin.com/24DLCEfB [01:42] my firend is using joliloud(joliOS), the sound plays from one app at a time.. for example , vlc will playback sound from a video but simaltanously won't play sound from a youtube video .. this occurs with ALL programs [01:43] Bazhang - something that'll decrypt digital rights. I have some stuff I ripped in windows from CD and well, it was on a windows computer that didn't have software to rip to MP3... [01:43] ZenGuy311, then go to jolicloud support, this is not it [01:43] so if i try to put it on an MP3 player, it won't play. [01:43] Don't want to rip all the cd's again lol [01:44] A|i3N, for an ipod type device? or just on your computer [01:44] If you ripped it in windows, why would it have DRM on it? [01:44] All I know is the windows software I was trying to use to convert them wouldn't do it lol [01:44] bazhang: i did but ther was no support, i thought since it was based on ubuntu i could get some help [01:44] Fopp: its mounted with R/W. Did you try copying from the kindle to your computer [01:44] Fopp: then copy back [01:44] ZenGuy311, nope offtopic here [01:45] bazhang: k [01:45] ZenGuy311, all the more reason to avoid it [01:45] Rico: I have tried the first part. I will try it again and see what happens [01:45] A|i3N, if you ripped it with windows with the drm intact then you're out of luck [01:45] bazhang: the netbook support was very specific to his model and unmatched [01:46] I need some help getting my wifi to work [01:46] yea it probably was enabled for some reason.. it was an older laptop running 2000 [01:46] ok, I was able to copy a file to my desktop easily enough. I tried moving it back and was told: Error opening file '[my file]': Read-only file system [01:46] Guest91512, third time: what chipset [01:46] Fopp: give the copy command [01:46] Guest91512, just repeating that will get zero help [01:47] the command I sued to copy?

What should I have done? [01:47] Vesuivius, which make/model what have you tried, with which music software [01:48] rico: I copied a regular .mobi file from the kindle. [01:48] stan, pardon? [01:48] thanks i'm gona try again [01:48] stan, you mean firewall?

[01:50] bazhang: it worked before with an 8gb ipod, but i just bought this one and need to configure it [01:50] Fopp: what is the folder path? [01:50] it is /media [01:50] bazhang by the way, I never got handbrake to work. Works fine on my uncle's computer - but I have lucid with no updates installed because of slow internet, and he has maverick fully updated - worked without a hitch with the same codecs installed. I installed all the same stuff on his computer that I did on mine and it works better then CloneDVD and AnyDVD ever did for him. Now if we can get WoW working on his computer under linux we'll be doing great lol :) [01:50] Fopp: /media/kindle or /media [01:50] Vesuivius, okay, some of the newer ones may have difficulty as apple changes firmware to stop non itunes users [01:50] te former, rico [01:51] A|i3N, what about ogmrip [01:51] Fopp: you need to copy to /media/Kindle [01:51] Is firestarter any good as a fire wall, problems working with Samba and now XChat [01:51] stan, try gufw [01:51] oh, sorry misunderstood [01:51] I am copying to that folder, yes. media/kindle [01:51] !info gufw | stan [01:51] stan: gufw (source: gui-ufw): Configure system firewall.

It may to go in a specific folder on the Kindle. I have a Nook, so i am not sure [01:53] bazhang: i'm not even gonna worry about it right now because of internet speed. If I wanted to, can I scrap this linux installation somehow without screwing my windows installation up, and do a clean install now that I know a little more about it? I want to allocate more space to the file system and make sure I didn't screw anything up in the first place. It's a dual boot with windows 7 on the same hard drive/same partition.

I am given te exact same error. [01:54] Bazhang, what do you mean? I [01:54] A|i3N, aka from within windows? you can resize that if you wish [01:55] Fopp: what about ls -al [01:55] actually I booted offa the CD to do it I believe [01:55] now doingi it [01:55] A|i3N, then it would not be the same partition [01:55] how to mount full-disck encrypted partiotions from livecd / rescuecd ?

[01:56] bazhang: hm. ok. Maybe so? GParted only sees one partition, plus the recovery partition on the computer so maybe I did go through windows. Will it be in my start menu? [01:56] ok, how big is it, i have a 120 meg usb stick, is that enough ?

In shell by the way [01:57] A|i3N, or you could resize it if you wish [01:57] xelister: ah, sorry, only familiar with truecrypt [01:58] ok cool. Would that explain handbrake not working though? No updates on Lucid and not the latest version? [01:58] ok rico, more of the same.. obviously a lot longer due to having more files in there (It's where my ebooks are stored). pastebin here http://pastebin.com/59BP1P2c [01:58] A|i3N, doubtful that would affect handbrake though [01:59] Anyone? [01:59] Fopp: in console type "cp theFileName.mobi /media/Kindle/documents" see if its the same error [01:59] ok. His worked off the bat with no issues that's why I want to do a clean install. I mighta messed something up in my complete ignorance of linux. LOL. We both like it better though. [01:59] on it! [01:59] A|i3N, yep, I real dual boot is preferable in my opinion [02:00] err a [02:00] How do I se the output of a command page by page instead of one quick flow of output which I can't scroll back?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:53] I have Gparted loaded up [02:53] Sorry [02:53] I am on LiveCD, I have GParted loaded up. Now what? [02:54] bazhang, what is xp installer? link please [02:54] nit-wit, what do you mean by the menu? [02:54] Abhijit, ##windows for that [02:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/579102/ nit-wit [02:54] O_o [02:54] bazhang, you just said to use xp installer above? i thout its some kind of software to be used on linux to install xp in vm? [02:55] Abhijit, nope, he wants to dual boot xp and ubuntu [02:55] He meant the WinXP CD, i think [02:55] hm [02:55] bazhang, ohhh ok nvm === brian is now known as Guest75512 [02:55] How would I format the drive then? Is there an option to format it or do I just delete all the partitions? [02:55] jnbptst: for instance to a textfile for better readability: ls -lar ~/Desktop > ~/Desktop/myDesk.txt [02:55] Cody3290, mount the partitions then delete them [02:56] do I delete the partition that has "filesystem Extended" and "linux-swap" as well? [02:56] fisix, Not sure why it is not working try purging it then reinstalling, the command should work, There is a icon for it in accessories. [02:56] They have little keys next to them. [02:56] Cody3290, yes [02:56] DasEi: so in the end it's still a kind of manual search; no way to automatically merge similarly-named folders into a consolidated folder? [02:57] bazhang: When I press delete on them, nothing happens [02:57] Is it safe for me to update Wubi 10.04 to 10.10 using the update manager? [02:57] jnbptst: you can pipe, sort , search append, truncate, whatever.. man locate,find,sort... [02:57] Cody3290, be sure they are mounted; you really are better off doing this with the windows installer disk [02:58] Sega_dude, sure [02:58] can anyone tell me how to set up multiple machines (3) all running 10.10 to automatically share all multi media files? Also, one of the machines is set up as dual boot with only a 20 gig partition for the operating systems and a ntfs partition containing all the media files i.e movies and music. [02:58] hey nit-wit , it doesn't work through Applications > accessories [02:58] How do I mount them? [02:58] jt13, nfs share? [02:58] nit-wit, how do i purge? [02:58] k thanks bazhang [02:58] WinXP only lets me do partitions, it doesn't let me choose to format the entire disk [02:58] bazhang, ?? [02:58] jt13, network file shares? === jason is now known as CaptainKewll [02:59] jt13, or did you want a streaming media server like mediatomb et al [02:59] jnbptst: you ask to far in the wild, mv lets you move within subdirs, but carefull with similar named ones without sorting beforehand [02:59] bazhang, yes i just want to share over the network [02:59] too* [02:59] fisix, sudo apt-get purge packagename [02:59] DasEi: sorry I'm not sure I understand clearly [02:59] maybe it will help if i explain what i am trying to do bazhang [03:00] jt13, I thought you wanted to share all media ie a streaming server [03:00] DasEi: basically it's all raw data, nothing linked to programs, so there wouldn't be any harm force-merging everything [03:00] nit-wit, i'm gonna follow the purge by sudo apt-get install screenlets. sound good for trial #2? [03:00] hi all [03:00] DasEi: just music, photos etc [03:01] fisix, may have just been a borked download. [03:01] bazhang, I have three machines all running 10.10. My main machine is connected to my 50" tv and it has a 280 gig ntfs partition containing alot of movies. I would like to set it up so that all computers on my wireless network can access these files as well as the media files on each other [03:02] whats the wine channel anyone know? [03:02] big stuff huh [03:02] UbuntuDave, #winehq [03:02] thanks [03:02] jnbptst: so first run fdupes on the whole original dir, rename if needed and then rsyng it all together [03:02] nit-wit, i don't think so, this is the 3rd time i've tried uninstalling/reinstalling [03:02] rsync* [03:03] hello [03:03] hi [03:03] jt13: movies copy to ubuntu easily -no converting [03:03] Is there something for linux like Belarc Advisor? [03:04] Cody3290, what does that do [03:04] bob__ I am aware of this. I am trying to setup network file sharing so all the computers can see the movies and music that are on one another [03:04] Audits your PC and gives a report of all the hardware you have [03:05] So in case WinXP PnP misses some stuff you can manually download drivers and stuff based on what hte report says vs. what your device manager says [03:05] Cody3290, sudo lshw [03:05] Greetings, are there any options for lpr to suppress the GUI? [03:05] Like I know for a fact WinXP doesnt detect my atheros wlan [03:05] hmm [03:05] Cody3290, not really needed for ubuntu though [03:05] ok thanks bazhang :) [03:05] Yea but I'm gonna dualboot winXP [03:05] Cody3290, the additional drivers will check that [03:06] hi everyone [03:06] bazhang: what do you mean?

[03:43] how would i go about making evolution access my gmail account without it messing it up? i still want to use gmail.com to check my email, and i know that one of the 2 email protocols deletes the emails from the web version as it downloads them locally. i dont want that. i want it to just act as if it was a built in chrome window with my gmail pulled up [03:44] [segfault], is your volume up a bit buggy on the keyboard? [03:44] fizy[laptop]: you want to use imap [03:44] nit-wit: dont think anything is corrupted, as it happens to both a music player and an external HDD.

[03:45] yeah, i use Imap... doesnt delete my mails on the server. [03:45] why cant i use usb mic in ubuntu [03:45] nit-wit: checked in gparted, sdb (the external hdd) is actually hfs+, originally formatted on a mac [03:45] i try kicking my mic [03:45] imap? thats what i thot. can anyone give me the stuff to put in evolution? or the webpage that has the numbers?

[04:07] WeThePeople, how slow is the computer I don't think the file type is going to matter much. [04:08] What file system should I use for USB flash drive: fat16 (read speed), fat32 (?), or ext2 (??) [04:08] nit-wit: 500Mhz 320Mb ram [04:08] Semitones, 32 [04:08] WeThePeople, wahts the distro your running [04:08] *whats [04:08] Semitones, if you mean usb stick [04:08] Semitones, otherwise ntfs if shared with windows [04:09] nit-wit: Lubuntu [04:09] so, old question i had a while back that nobody was able to answer. Never put it in this format though. Windows keeps my cell phone dialup connection alive just fine and dandy. Ubuntu wants to drop it off every minute. Any ideas? [04:09] bazhang, yeah -- it's mostly for trying lubuntu [04:09] as a startup disk [04:09] Semitones, usb stick? [04:09] tes [04:09] anyone here uses chrome or chromium ? [04:09] yes [04:09] Semitones, whatever unetbootin does then [04:09] bazhang, haha, here we go! [04:10] ill let you know what it chooses [04:10] (I ask because I'm in windows now on mirc and well, haven't had any problems - at all.) [04:10] AnubArack, ask a n actual question please [04:10] hi [04:10] WeThePeople, Lubuntu is good but with that small of a cpu and ram I would be using puppy or another small distro [04:11] WeThePeople, your choice though, if you have some other area to run another OS to try out. [04:12] bazhang, don't get snotty with me kid, i'm in a very bad mood. And learn some semantics, that was an actual question [04:12] A|i3N: I wonder if it just needs a little data moving over time. keep alive normaly just sends a ping every 2 minits. I guess you could try a script that pings google.com every 60 secounds and see if you see any improvments [04:12] AnubArack, just polling wont get a response, please ask an actual issue needs to be resolved question [04:12] Hi. [04:13] Hi all, little question! I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop. Before i go to sleep i always go to System->Preferences->Power Management, and select "Put display to sleep after" 0:01 (ie. to turn my display off after a minute). Then when I wake up, and wake the display as well, I set it back to 1:00 (1 hour). Is there a better way to do this? E.g. a keyboard shortcut that puts my display to sleep instantly. [04:13] I'm trying to cross compile Pioneers to Windows XP and Mac OSX. Does anyone know how to do this given the source code, a configure script, and make? [04:13] sacarlson - OK I am a novice, gotta tell me how to do this or send me a faq or something LOL [04:13] bittyx-laptop: I use: sleep 2; xset dpms force off [04:13] A|i3N: oh I guess you don't need a script it's builtin to ping with ping -i 2 google.com it will ping google every 2 secounds [04:14] Does the internal wireless override the ethernet input of a radio card? [04:14] bittyx-laptop, yes! there is. open up keyboard shortcuts, and you can set your own :) (I have mine set to ctrl alt . ) [04:14] oh ok thank you sacarlson hehe that sounds like a solution [04:14] bittyx-laptop, oh yeah -- you have to make a custom shortcut -- use the command jrib suggested === Guest11182 is now known as DarkDevil [04:15] A|i3N: I'm not sure it will help or not but it's worth a try [04:15] what type of file is a low bit rate video format [04:15] jrib, dang, that's smart with the sleep 2, I'm going to use that :) [04:15] I'm sure everyone is familiar with the cooliris 3d wall add-on for fire fox but does anyone know of a image viewer with similar effects for local images stored on the computer 10.10 [04:15] sacarlson So I just open terminal and let that run? === DarkDevil is now known as Guest46480 [04:15] A|i3N: yup [04:16] Semitones: but i don't have "put display to sleep" in my keyboard shortcut actions? and jrib: I could run that from a terminal and it would work, right?

[05:45] hi [05:45] How do you mean? Where it is installed? [05:46] I have a home server I ssh to. My DNS (running on the same server, as it happens), broadcasts a different IP for this server internally (namely, its local IP). So, when I ssh to myserver.example.com from the outside, I get the public IP, but from the inside using the same address, I get the local IP. Here's the problem: the outside IP is stored in known_hosts. How do I also add the inside IP to known_hosts, so it doesn't freak out? [05:46] Auriga: hm, im not sure [05:46] Auriga: can you start it from a terminal? === uchecomp is now known as shhuck [05:46] what type of Point to Point Protocol is Tata Photon Plus ? is it PPPoE or PPPoA ?

It defeats the purpose of xfce on a slower computer. ( ,_,) [06:18] no probs ilea. i cannot get my application switcher to work [06:18] ohzie, can i install drivers manually? if so, how? [06:18] juk, I mean thanks but not right now. I am walking someone through using transmission. [06:19] andruHA1123: what version of xubuntu are you using?

That behavior is especially such on freenode, because most people here use sudo and su. =) [06:21] im on it [06:21] so, it becomes habiual [06:21] habitual* [06:21] what, running stuff as root?

[06:24] hey guys i have a Marvell 88SE6145 and cant get it to work with ubuntu server at least i beleive this is whats causing issues with booting correctly etc [06:24] andruHA1123: Ubuntu, even xubuntu, is not good for old things unless you install ubuntu-server than then put a bare minimum gui on top of that. [06:24] phreck, the thing is that i won't be able to configure everything via terminal.. im kinda a newb in linux [06:24] how can I hack? [06:25] sub process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) it says.. that keeps coming up [06:25] SuperPaco69: read and study a lot [06:25] andruHA1123: I'd suggest ubuntu-server and aptitude install blackbox [06:25] and go from there [06:25] SuperPaco69, hack what [06:25] you could install u. server, and then install Xfce on it, which is a lighter version of gnome. [06:25] SuperPaco69: Be awesome [06:25] whats the chmod for Read and list [06:25] essentially create a xubuntu-server [06:25] win189: there's no list. list is read on the directory [06:25] !chmod [06:25] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [06:25] that is right! [06:26] ohzie, what is blackbox? like a lightweight gui? [06:26] probably not the right place to come for help regarding this.. but recently upgraded to Natty and somehow broke Vuze... I've tried replacing libswt-gtk-3.5-java already to no avail [06:26] exit [06:26] andruHA1123: very very lightweight gui. It's too lightweight for most people to tolerate. That or tdm are going to be your best friends if you absolutely need some sort of GUI...... [06:26] nvm i figured it out its 555 [06:26] Vituz, #ubuntu+1 for natty [06:26] Vituz: :( [06:26] thanks [06:27] hey, quick question about that, how we get the beta? [06:27] andruHA1123: out of curiosity, what is the GUI needed for? [06:27] I doubt its a natty issue anyway [06:27] I think its a java issue [06:27] RJ_F1: ask in #ubuntu+1 ;) [06:27] but thanks for redirecting me so quickly :) [06:27] sacarlson: ok i more ques i have to acess other comp in WAN how to do that. is it is same as like in bridge mode or something different setting for it? [06:27] ohzie, i will need it to set up what I need.. I don't know how to do everything in terminal [06:29] andruHA1123: Weeeelllllll what things are you doing setup in the GUI, and maybe I can point you in the right direction of where to learn? =) Blackbox+vnc server are going to be great fallbacks if you need the gui, but SSH is faster and runs a lot lighter. :3 [06:29] andruHA1123: Not plugging the OMG GUI ON A SERVER thing, I don't judge, I'm just saying that help is aailable. =P [06:29] available* [06:29] i have to acess other comp in WAN how to do that. is it is same as like in bridge mode or something different setting for it? [06:29] using ssh [06:29] any one know how to hack voip sip protocol with ubuntu? [06:29] hey guys. i need some serious help. I am getting VERY frustrated. First and foremost, every time I try to access my home folder via the panel on top, it says error. This happens with documents, computer etc. Please help me find out why this happening. [06:30] !please [06:30] Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [06:30] ohzie, oh, i would probably uninstall gui once im done configuring what i need [06:30] casey: Well, what kind of error? [06:31] i'll copy verbatum. hold on just a sec [06:31] i have to acess other comp in WAN through ssh how to do that. is it is same as like in bridge mode or something different setting for it [06:31] Error: File can not be found [06:31] however, is i navigate to it by other means, the file is indeed there. [06:31] I just don't know how the path could have got messed up? [06:32] anyway, thanks for the help guys.. [06:32] i was expecting a password prompt to activate the fglrx drivers.... instead, i get "you are not authorized to perform this action"... what would be the proper cli syntax? [06:33] andruHA1123: instal [06:33] andruHA1123: install ubuntu live cd [06:33] any ideas on why the path could have gotten messed up? [06:34] casey: I had this problem before on an older install [06:34] my hard drive was not working very well [06:34] When both me and my bro switched to Ubuntu (months apart), we noticed internet took a while longer to respond. I tried disabling the thing that searches for IPv6, but I still get that lag time while "looking up ". what else might be wrong? [06:34] leaveboy, and? [06:34] it would sort of work sometimes and not work other times. [06:34] ohzie: how did you fix it? [06:34] it's driving me nuts [06:34] casey: =\ I reinstalled ubuntu. [06:34] casey: I back up all my stuff so often that I don't even mess with stuff like that [06:34] :( [06:34] *boom* [06:34] I'm just like [06:35] are you sure thats the only way? [06:35] casey: Oh surely it isn't. I just didn't bother trying to find the way to do it, because I was lazy and needed my computer to work and didn't want to spend time fixing it. [06:36] oh ok [06:36] well i guess i'll look more into it [06:36] i'm getting so frustrated with all of this [06:36] how about this, whats the lightest linux distro that can run FireFox and OpenOffice? [06:36] casey: How long have you been using linux? [06:36] andruHA1123: DSL [06:36] ohzie: by any chance, do you know how to use wine to run photoshop 7? [06:36] andruHA1123: and don't open 3D，that will work fine [06:37] ohzie: about 3 weeks. I'm a big noobie. [06:37] i was expecting a password prompt to activate the fglrx drivers.... instead, i get "you are not authorized to perform this action"... what would be the proper cli syntax? 10.10 amd/64 [06:37] you can try in #Linux to make polls andruHA1123 [06:37] ohzie, i tried dsl and it wouldn't run latest firefox... [06:37] casey: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1336 It seems to run fine out of the box. === rwww is now known as _ubottu [06:38] Does anyone know if theres a way to defragment a harddrive on linux, My HD use to be only 25% full then Copied alot of backup stuff on it and it went to 60% Full, Which I erased it and its still showed and being 60% Full, I also tried booting into another linux system and running fsck on the HD but still didnt solve the problem [06:38] andruHA1123: that means dont install display driver [06:38] i've alrady told you !lubuntu is an option [06:38] ohzie - better question is which window manager is best to run those [06:38] ohzie: isn't that just a trial though? [06:38] gents... anyone in here running a znc on ubuntu 10.10 and have successfully used an ipv6 tunnel through tunnelbroker? [06:38] or can i use it to enter my product key? [06:38] xangua, thanks, im downloading that already [06:38] sorry meant andruHA1123 [06:38] just looking for option [06:38] casey: you should be able to put in the product key [06:39] znc doesn't really matter [06:39] how do I install two versions of an application, like opera 9 and opera 10 without simply upgrading to 10? [06:39] can that be done with deb packages? [06:39] ohzie: awesome. Thanks for the help. Any ideas on where to point me with the other issue we were taking about? [06:40] TodMore: I would suggest installing the binary for the second version separarely. [06:40] TodMore: and not using a deb [06:40] Is there a way to defragment harddrive with ubuntu [06:40] I have emerald and all the compiz updates but none of my application switchers will work [06:40] ohzie: so you mean look for a tarball or whatever install? [06:41] casey: None at all. What I CAN say is that I've had less problems with Ubuntu than I've had with FC and Mandrake, and that Ubuntu is "where it's at" as they say. === mohammad is now known as Guest59325 [06:41] TodMore: Yes [06:41] casey: So stick to this distro! Don't be swayed! :P [06:41] ohzie: thank [06:42] ohzie: well i'm glad I at least went with the right linux distro lol ;P. Not just to get "hip" with this linux stuff as they say.

[07:11] um if it was that easy i would have [07:11] ruan:done! [07:11] hey all, long time linux user... first time kubuntu user... first of all, can I ask questions about kubuntu in here? [07:11] win189 it is that easy for my lan normally. [07:11] bvierra|l: here or #kubuntu [07:11] sometimes the right click share thing. does not install the samba servifes properl;y however. [07:11] ahh ok cool thanks :) dont really have any questions yet, just figure that I will [07:11] What next?? [07:12] Akshay: if you can't change to the resolution yet, reboot [07:12] killall gnome-panel works perfectly [07:12] Akshay: if installation was successful [07:12] win189 you coud edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and be sure the workgroups are correct also. and try manualy entering the share paths. \\serverip.number\sharename [07:12] ok, be right back sfter reboot. [07:12] *after [07:13] ok if i muked up the install [07:13] can i just uninstall and reinstall [07:13] will it clear all the settings [07:14] win189: i think it might keep settings. i remember seeing folders of things i uninstalled [07:14] win189 depends on what you mesed up. what have you done so far? things are almost alwyas fixable... [07:14] when in doubt backup system configs you are editing. [07:14] ^^ [07:15] ruan: No change, still can't find 1152x864 [07:15] odd. [07:16] i think i messed up the config [07:16] well the drivers were released in 2004 [07:16] win189 what did you change in the config exactly? I nomrally only need to edit a few lines if the smb.conf file. [07:16] Yes, this is a very old machine.

[07:17] Hmm. all those packages must have example smb.conf files. [07:17] No, 82865G [07:18] oh ok [07:18] i have two guest os soto acess one from other i activate bridge mode under network option in virtual box but now when i want to acess my host os it is not acessing through guest whhile when th evirtual box setting is in nat mode the host is acessed.at this point m able to acess my guest os also through host but vice versa not possible.why ? [07:19] Akshay: i googled and found http://absolutebeginner.wordpress.com/2006/07/26/installing-intel-815852855-graphics-controller-drivers-on-ubuntu-debian/ [07:19] I downloaded ubuntu 10.04 and burned it to pendrive using unetbootin. When I boot the system with pendrive as first boot it does not boot? any clue? [07:20] rohitvvv [07:20] rohitvv what does it do ecacxtly? theres tools other then unetbootin. the pendrivelinux web site has other tools. [07:20] rohitvvv it some times dosent work the first time [07:20] You could evne set up grub2 to boot iso files. [07:20] Akshay: sudo apt-get install alien [07:20] #cdkey [07:21] #cdkey [07:21] ruan:I guess, I tried out this.Trying again now. [07:21] #cdkey_office_2010 [07:21] I'm stuck on a bash scripting problem. If I want to get the path portion of a file name into a variable (i.e. /home/myuser/music/somesong.mp3), how to do I get just the path? [07:21] sensini, not here [07:21] rohitvvv make shour to use ur f12 key to make it boot off of ur usb but if it dosent boot it could be a curuped download i sudjest the torrrent download and the tool listed on the site [07:22] sensini: who needs office 2010 when you have openoffice? [07:22] jmwpc i recall there nbeing some commands in bash that do that.. the advanced bash scripting guide may give examples. Ive no tdone that task in ages. [07:22] jmwpc i think one was called 'base' or similer. [07:22] jmwpc: first read the docs, then go to #bash if you still have a problem [07:23] dr_Willis: I'll check that out... thanks [07:23] need office_2010_key, willing to do paypal transfer [07:23] jmwpc: "dirname file" [07:23] ruan:getting some error while downloading. [07:23] sensini, not here stop asking [07:23] Akshay: what is the erro [07:23] Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libm/libmail-sendmail-perl/libmail-sendmail-perl_0.79.16-1_all.deb Unable to connect to in.archive.ubuntu.com:http: [07:23] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

[07:24] Is it due Indian Server.. [07:24] i run linux, sister needs one [07:24] sensini: freenode is not a filesharing network, and piracy is off-topic here. [07:24] Akshay: system > administration > software sources, switch mirror [07:24] ruan:any other way to install package?? [07:24] * win189 meeps ok RWW i wont chew peoples head off thats trying to get windblows crap [07:25] sensini: there's openoffice for windows too [07:25] got it [07:25] (hates the fact he needs to rely on windblows cause he was to cheap to get ps3) [07:25] cool thanks === stagres7 is now known as stag-reseau7 [07:25] Do I change the download from Option. === Ep1kMalware is now known as Sabian [07:26] I went for an option to install ubuntu inside windows using wubi. After a few minutes it starts downloading the iso from the internet. I already have the iso downloaded.? [07:26] Akshay: Download from: (change server) [07:27] rowitvv you really sure you want to be using wubi? Most people hate it. I think you need the iso in th eproper location. and it will see it., [07:27] oops that was for askhakshay i think,,... [07:27] I extracted the contents of the iso using winrar [07:27] and then I had wubi inside it. [07:27] dr_Willis: it wasn't, lol [07:28] raun:E: Couldn't find package alien [07:28] sorry all i ben haveing a short temper all day [07:28] Akshay: did you run sudo apt-get update? [07:28] !alien [07:28] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [07:28] im on my android - by the timne i answer.. the question has scrolled off the top of the screen [07:29] no. [07:29] hmm.. [07:29] rww is there a general chat can [07:30] that ubuntu admin has setup [07:30] Thanks for the hint. It worked. wubi has to be in the directory where iso resides. It works :) [07:30] Akshay: ok, install 915resolution instead [07:30] i relly hate wubi... [07:30] win189: #ubuntu-offtopic (and read the /topic when you go there) [07:30] how?? [07:30] why so? [07:30] k rww ty [07:31] to many issues rohitvv. You may learn to hate it also. [07:31] I would rather run in virtualbox then use wubi [07:31] this ^ [07:31] But virtual box would run much slower [07:32] but its more relieable... [07:32] why don't u use grub? [07:32] wubi helps spreading the word anyway... [07:32] ive seen way way way to many 'wubi broke on me' questions in here [07:33] I have a windows 7 installation. Need to get ubuntu installed. Wubi seemed to be a easier option. [07:33] virtualbos is the easiest option.. :) [07:33] I don't even know what wubi is. :3 [07:33] !wubi [07:33] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [07:33] Oh dear lord no.jpg [07:33] lol [07:33] for some machines. i run ubuntu from a flash drive these days.. [07:33] rohitvvv: dual booting win7 and ubuntu is a breeze [07:34] ruan:can't find it in Synaptic Package Manager [07:34] why not just partition, and use grub? [07:34] I advise using caution and paranoia backups. when using wubi. [07:34] I have seen windows 7 installs that use 4 primary partitions.. that can make installing ubuntu normally a big hassle. [07:35] 4 partitions? [07:35] At last i got my alpine working for me. Whatever be the case somebody should have responded whether you knew or not. [07:35] Yes - i have seen win7 Installs using 4 Primary partitions. [07:35] dr_Willis: good point [07:35] Anyways thank you guys! [07:35] so rohitvvv has the primaries taken up? arent logical partitions compatible with linux unlike unix [07:36] yes they are taken up [07:36] I have ubuntu installed now using wubi in one of the logical partitions. [07:36] ruan:Pls help me out. [07:36] Akshay: im confused as well :/ [07:36] i think it would be possible to create a logical partition and boot it with grub [07:37] it is Stryker [07:37] !logical partition [07:37] !logicalpartition [07:37] i tried [07:37] yes [07:37] wante to create some using windows or ubuntu ? [07:37] Hmm.. wubi installs to a file. no tits own partition [07:37] !gparted [07:37] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [07:37] ruan:looking at this guide [07:37] http://goo.gl/PiyX [07:38] yeh wubi installs to a .disk file [07:38] many logical partitions can be made, unlike primaries [07:38] Okay guys thanks for the help will get back in touch from ubuntu. May be installing grub from ubuntu would be easy. [07:38] Thanks [07:39] using it at application isn't the same as "real" [07:39] rohitvvv, [07:39] wait [07:39] Yes [07:39] i don't think u wanna use grub for a wubi install [07:39] rohitvvv, that wouldn't make sense [07:39] wubi does use grub. windpows chainloads it i think. [07:39] from what little ive used wubi.. :) [07:39] Okay. [07:40] i tried a wubi install but it didnt boot, so i made a livecd [07:40] rohitvvv, it is bulky, and hard to undo if you don't have a fresh install of real ubuntu [07:40] The issue is making a bootable pendrive has being a problem. It does not boot. Hence I went in for wubi. [07:41] have u tried using unetbootin? [07:41] I would love to go for a real ubuntu install. But the pendrive won't boot for reasons. Yes I have tried unetbootin [07:41] try an ubuntu server install [07:41] It drops at some prompt and says the kernel is missing [07:41] rohitvvv: some pendrives cant boot because of the logic how the data is randomly written to the pendrive, so the bootsector is moved on some sticks [07:42] theres OTHER installer apps then Unetbootin.. [07:42] any work around [07:42] pendrivelinux has info on proberly 5+ others [07:42] rohitvvv: hm your issue is not because of the random write [07:42] what do you even mean iceroot ? [07:43] shall I download one app like unetbootin from pendrivelinux [07:43] Stryker: pendrives are writting data randomly so you dont write the data alaways at the same place, bad pendrives are also writing the boot-sector randomly at some place on the stick [07:43] i have myself made a previously uninstallible flavour work on a pendrive [07:43] download and try them er.r.. ALL.. :) its not like they cost $$$ [07:43] ruan:Did you find any solution [07:43] Stryker: its not often but some pendrives around there are not bootable [07:43] You can always try making your own grub2 booting iso file pendrive [07:44] iceroot, that is a filesystem, and program error [07:44] Sure I will try one. Fingers crossed. [07:44] ive had old pendrives now work wiht some old machines.. [07:44] not much issues with new ones. [07:45] that is a point, but grub2 can boot from pendrive like dr_Willis said === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [07:45] lol [07:45] Akshay: not yet [07:46] you could even boot a cd, and do a normal install to a pendrive. [07:46] :{ [07:46] you could boot an iso with virtualbox, and install the system onto the pendrive [07:47] That's really a long cut. [07:47] what does that mean? [07:47] ive done that befor. :) [07:47] that is not a part of my slang [07:47] vbox -> pendrive. is nifty trick [07:47] i agree [07:47] Any tutorial ? [07:47] I just installed 10.10 a couple of hours ago and my clock is all kinds of messed up. Screenshot: http://img851.imageshack.us/i/whatthefuckisthisshit.png/ [07:48] rohitvvv, i am sure there is [07:48] pemdrive web site has severla installers thqat work well. [07:48] rohitvvv, i could help u with teamviewer [07:48] pendrivelinux sucks [07:49] ive had no issues with the pendrivelinux web site tools [07:49] plz let me know ... teamviewer [07:50] i can has halp plz? [07:50] ? [07:50] not eveyr one has a web browser to check every site/image.. sumarize the issue. [07:50] Hello,I come from a university of China. When I use the line of our school to connect irc servers,it always failed, I don't know why. [07:50] teamviewer, rohitvvv is an app so i can remotely help u on ur pc [07:50] I need to download it then === PicCard is now known as PicCard_Away [07:51] rohitvvv, i would be happy to help [07:51] Nice of you. but it would nice if you let me know about a tutorial for vbox-> pendrive [07:51] I could try [07:52] dr_Willis: I just installed, hwclock had the correct time but it's timezone is HAST. I don't live in hawaii. The clock on the panel is wrong, but when I click on it and check my location it has the correct city and the correct time, but the panel is still wrong. [07:52] i doubt if there is a specific tutorial for vbox->pendrvive., Get vbox seeing the flash drives. and set it up [07:53] i used to use vmware [07:53] Okay I would try getting vbox to boot the iso first [07:53] i am not too great at vbox [07:53] w43372 - it could be a 'clock set to UST/GMT vs Localtime type issue.' [07:53] vmware is able to share files with drag n drop.. does vbox also support that? [07:53] dr_Willis: how do fix? [07:53] Hi, I need a simple search and replace tool (NOT a text editor). I can't use sed/awk. I tried SearchMonkey and Regexxer but I can't understand them [07:53] ruan wiuth the guest addations - i think so [07:54] lifestream: why you cant use sed? [07:54] w43372 check what your hw clock is set to in bios [07:54] iceroot: I have tried to learn since atleast 2-3 years ago, but I can't manage to learn it [07:54] lifestream: you dont know how to use it or other reasons? [07:54] my bios is set to GMT and in linux is PST [07:55] lifestream: hm, sed 's/foo/bar/' -i filename will replace foo with bar [07:55] lifestream: what else do you need? [07:55] iceroot: I need it to scan my whole home folder for only plain-text files [07:56] Where does bind9 log why it failed to start? [07:56] lifestream: so you want to replace in every textfile a string and only in textfiles? [07:56] tohuw: /var/log/daemon.log [07:57] oh, since it's a daemon and all... thanks iceroot -.- [07:57] iceroot: yes iceroot, I found a script on the web to replace, but it scanned through lots of movies and a 20gb music collection T_T Also, I needed to change this string: /home/eris/ to /home/wish and instead, I got /home/eris// <- double slash [07:57] So now none of my configs work because they point to /home/eris// :P [07:59] hail eris! all hail discordia. [07:59] no wait wrong channel [07:59] lol [07:59] im haveing bluetooth problem [08:00] i can recive nor send files [08:00] I can`t boot into X11 - black screen === kevin_ is now known as JahJah [08:00] dr_Willis: the bios hw was wrong, I fixed it but my problem is still the same [08:00] it gives error : make sure u installed the personal file sharing [08:00] lifestream: sed 's/eris\/\//eris\//' should do the job [08:01] dr_Willis sudo hwclock -r is still accurate but in HAST timezone, panel is wrong, but locations still has correct city and time [08:01] lifestream: to correct eris// to eris/ [08:01] w43722 try setting the clock to set its dat automatically now. it may correct oitself [08:01] or try chaning timezones toi some other zone. then back. [08:02] the gnome clock also may NOT set its self right untill you log out.. its been a bit brain dead in the past i recall. [08:02] wow! whoever recommended me lubuntu was awesome! its really nice and very functional! [08:02] W43372, try using the time and date settings under system>administration instead of the panel settings [08:02] ruan:Are you still looking into my problem.

I suggest that for advanced things like that, you check out http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ to learn a lot about linux in general, and then come back and try again. [08:39] how about my applicaton [08:39] Yet another pontless remaster of Uubntu :) - there was some web site (recontrouctor.org ?) that helped you do that. but its not free any more.

Waiting to get the guts to try 11.04 soon [08:48] Even in cheese booth webcam,i cant record videos,What the hell happening to my netbook, [08:49] I remember there was a nice one-line command that one could run to tag the version of a package that one was recompiling from source so that apt wouldn't try to reinstall the distribution's version over and over. What was that? [08:49] kothaguy_ubuntu: check skype preferences! you are doing it wrong [08:49] !pin [08:49] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [08:49] I mean, when building the package in the first place [08:49] I don't want my package's version number to be the same as the one in the repository [08:50] newnickk, in skype,i checked the sound option,there also it is not able to record voice,but video is there [08:50] (I want to add a tag to the end of it) [08:50] bbl.. break time [08:51] In Ubuntu versions < 10.04 there was an entry System > Administration > Services > (Services Settings) > Database server > 'mysql'.

[09:03] OK, but Gnome wont ship by default, right?> [09:03] just an optional thing...

[09:03] I haven't tried the solution yet because I'm about to go to bed, but I hope it helps [09:03] Piggie: GNOME will be the default, Unity is just a layer on top of it [09:04] llutz_: but it's weird because I have stopped the weather update option [09:04] Thanks for all the help today guys. I'm off to bed.

You want me to discuss ubuntu on #ubuntu-offtopic? [09:06] Piggie: yes, this discussion is not related to ubuntu support in released versions [09:07] arturs: What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? [09:09] llutz_: thanks, at least wireshark helped me understand whts happening, might restart pc and check if communication still exists, might submit as bug when I am sure everythings good wrt disabling services [09:10] llutz_: na no bug, I strted the service and shut again, now its gone, seems like it takes some time, thanks a ton for helping out [09:10] bullgard: ...log | grep '(EE)': Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption or even frozen display..

[09:11] Ah, I found the tool I was looking for before, it's dch -v [09:11] is it possible to install ubuntu on a smartphone? [09:12] arturs: So you will probably find more fundamental error messages in /var/log/dmesg.0. Analyze them first. [09:12] I can never remember that one when I need it :P [09:13] ruan: I would be very surprised if it is. Ubuntu is geared quite heavily to desktop environments. It's possible to run Linux on some smartphones... [09:13] ruan: It is possible to install it on some advanced Nokia smart phones. [09:15] how to stop sshd? [09:15] jiltdil: sudo service ssh stop [09:15] ruan: normally you dont want ubuntu or other distris on a smartphone, its not made for them (controls, resolution and so on) you want android on a smartphone [09:15] llutz_:thanx [09:16] I would think it would need to be a pretty heavily modified Ubuntu set-up. The default configuration would be pretty inappropriate I'd think. [09:16] jiltdil: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop [09:16] iceroot:that not works [09:16] jiltdil: then maybe sshd [09:16] iceroot: no there is no sshd command in that [09:17] iceroot: service ssh stop works [09:17] Did llutz's command work? [09:17] okay [09:17] Weird [09:17] jiltdil: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop is working fine here (ubuntu 10.10) [09:17] Since I thought the service command was just a shortcut to running the things in /etc/init.d [09:17] maybe it isn't [09:17] .com [09:17] yeah, it works for me too [09:18] Cale: no, service is for upstart init.d is for the old init-script-method [09:18] priya_5956@yahoo.com [09:18] hi there , I am on ubuntu 9.10 , is it possible to replace firefox 3.6 with firefox 4 ? === Guest29576 is now known as DarkDevil [09:18] Hello [09:18] In Ubuntu versions < 10.04 there was an entry System > Administration > Services > (Services Settings) > Database server > 'mysql'. Where has it gone in Lucid and Maverick? [09:18] iceroot: but i tried it already it says that it is stopping but when again i go to check status it says sudo /etc/init.d/ssh status it shows it is active [09:18] iceroot: Then the manpage for it should be updated, since it says "run a System V init script" [09:18] bullgard: I can`t find anything === DarkDevil is now known as Guest76660 [09:19] jiltdil: hm, you are right [09:19] iceroot: :) [09:19] crappy mix of upstart/sysv-init [09:19] jiltdil: maybe its time for me to change to this new service-thing [09:20] I am having a problem with my ubuntu 10.10 machine. Yesterday I updated it, but it seems that something went wrong (allthough I didn't get any errors). The problem is that after the update the network card isn't working anymore. When I do a dmesg | grep eth I don't see anything appear, so it seems the card is unused. What can I do? [09:20] arturs: So I think that your X server is not properly configured. But I do not know how to best correct that. [09:20] BezNalogov: what have you update? from 10.04 - 10.10 or only security fixes? [09:21] bullgard: log/Xorg also say, that dir /share/fonts/X11/cyrillic does not exists [09:21] BezNalogov: a kernel-update? [09:21] BezNalogov: is "sudo ifconfig -a" showing eth0? [09:22] quit [09:22] arturs: This may be another error. You probably can fix that by installing a cyrillic font. (But I think that this is secondary in importance to the first rported error message.) [09:22] I did the normal security updates, the kernel was upgraded to 2.6.35-27-generic, but also with the old kernel the network card doesn't work [09:22] s/rported/reported/ [09:23] with sudo ifconfig -a the card doesn't show up either [09:24] BezNalogov: so the card never worked with 10.10? [09:24] bullgard: by the way, how can I install cyrillic fonts? [09:24] Yes it did [09:24] I use 10.10 for a while already [09:24] Just after running the update-manager yesterday it stopped working [09:24] llutz_: redhat uses service sshd stop and ubuntu service ssh stop quite same :) thanx [09:24] jiltdil: debian too === mike is now known as Guest15950 [09:24] (ssh) [09:25] llutz_: debian is on upstart? (squeeze) [09:25] iceroot: naaaa never (hopefully) [09:25] llutz_: good. strange new things... [09:25] iceroot: but "service command works fine with squeeze [09:25] arturs: '~$ sudo apt-get install xfonts-cyrillic'. Or use Synaptic. [09:25] llutz_: but its calling the old init-scripts [09:26] llutz_:yes but backtrack like debian os provides it automatically in option :) [09:26] should I normally see a network card with lspci? [09:26] iceroot: true, but make switching between systems easier [09:26] llutz_: never touch a running system [09:26] lets wait for systemd [09:26] llutz_: pulseaudio, upstart, wayland.... [09:26] bullgard: I can show You log files on web http://winlinmac.ath.cx/~arturs/errors/ [09:27] iceroot: upstart is crap, shouldn't be used in the wild (imho) [09:27] Hello ubuntu friends. I have 3 virtual server. I'm located in Finland, i think the servers are located in Germany. recommendations to timezone settings? UTC, Europe/Berlin? what? now one has UTC, two others Europe/Berlin, and i'm confused ;) [09:27] arturs: http://winlinmac.ath.cx/~arturs/errors/ gets me: "Not found". [09:28] jau: what about using YOUR timezone [09:28] jau: whatever suits you best [09:28] The manpage for 'service' says that it runs sysv init scripts, but taking a look at the source for it in Ubuntu 10.10 reveals that before it does that, it also checks for upstart configurations. [09:28] is there any docking application for ubuntu 9.10 , that can be installed from synaptic ? [09:28] (and uses those if available) [09:28] Hello [09:28] Is there anyone here who runs boxee on ubuntu and managed to make it work flawlessly? [09:28] Cale: but the init-scripts dont check if upstart is used [09:29] I hve asked this question several times and nobody answers. It is very frustrating. suddenty my packet manager does not work any longer, it sends me this error message: An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:'E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. Current value: 2516 [09:29] 5824. (man 5 apt.conf), E:Error occurred while processing less (NewFileVer1), E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' How do i solve this? [09:29] Cale: seen on sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop [09:29] It looks in /etc/init/${SERVICE}.conf and if that exists it won't run the init script [09:29] bullgard: now its ready :) [09:29] llutz_: luckily it takes years until debian is using new technologies :) [09:29] iceroot: thinking of setting the /etc/timezone to something usable to me... the geolocation of the server confuses me, all servers have ntpdate in use, but i'm thinking of multiuser scenario, so any user could set their own [09:29] Or at least, it won't run it directly. [09:30] iceroot: let's hope that toy story has enough characters left... [09:30] Bash completion just stopped working after I installed some packages. [09:30] llutz_: :) [09:30] It executes a command whose name is the same as the action (except in the case of force-reload, apparently), with the service's name and options passed as args. [09:30] iceroot: so setting the server to UTC, and in my profile my own possible? [09:30] Diverdude: increase apt cache-limit? i dunno how though [09:30] So if you know that it's an upstart task apparently you could just use start ssh / stop ssh [09:31] !apt [09:31] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [09:31] jau: if i am correct you can have user-specific timezones [09:31] I hate when things that always worked suddenly break because of a change in the system. [09:31] But using the service command is more backwards compatible :) [09:31] arturs: I fid the same error message "[ 939.401] (EE) intel(0): Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption or even a frozen display: Bad file descriptor.". You need to confgure your Intel graphics card properly. [09:31] ruan, yeah well i kinda figured that also [09:31] ruan, but i have no idea how [09:31] Cale: depending what you are running [09:31] +i [09:32] Cale: normally i am on lenny, there i would use init.d if i write tutorials or scripts i use init.d. bad if other distris are using service [09:32] ruan, its really quite bad disappointing that ubuntu has this kind of stupid issues [09:32] bullgard: I tried, but fail [09:33] arturs: What did you try specifia [09:33] arturs: What did you try specifically? [09:33] does anyone know where "run commands" cache is stored [09:33] bullgard: dpkg-reconfigure -a [09:33] not shell [09:33] Diverdude: maybe theres a config for apt somewhere [09:34] /etc/apt? [09:34] ruan, where? [09:34] bullgard: but did not change aything.. it just stops working [09:34] hmmm [09:34] arturs: This is not enough. You will need to reconfigure your graphics system. Google for the precise error message and your computer type. I am sure other had the same problem before and a solution. [09:35] Diverdude: did you try sudo apt-get clean? [09:35] ruan, have /etc/apt/apt.conf.d but have many files there [09:35] iceroot, any suggestions what I can do for the network card problem? [09:35] milamber, yeah i tried that....it did not do any difference [09:35] arturs: You can add as a catchword your current Ubuntu distribution.

[09:47] I've already asked the question, and not gotten an answer. [09:47] As in , install of the machines parts [09:48] why I asked the experience question. [09:48] Diverdude: and then sudo apt-get update [09:48] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and whenever I have one tab/window open with flash active and open another flash activity in firefox the first goes gray like when plugins are first loading. Using Adobe's flash plugin. [09:48] Tewo: What are "temps"? [09:48] About the fglrx video driver (ATI/AMD proprietary) -- is the one in the Maverick repositories really the latest one? Can I find a more recent one if I compile the source from somewhere? One that can handle Flash without dying would be nice... [09:48] bullgard: Ok, all good now [09:48] bullgard: "Temps of the machine" [09:49] bullgard: "CPU temp, hard drive, etc" [09:49] Tewo: Do you speak about "temperature"?

[09:51] i like backtrack [09:51] Tewo: "is it possible to setup Ubuntu on a flash drive (or install lm_sensors or something like that) to monitor temps of a machine just after install ?" <-- Yes [09:52] anyway yes. "temperature" . As in to figure out if the machien is running hot. [09:52] bullgard: Just use the live CD and/or flash drive ? [09:52] Tewo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=102636 [09:52] milamber: Does Ubuntu have something like Prime95 to stress the CPU ? [09:53] Tewo: Either one is all right.

[10:03] hayz: This depends yon your setup. [10:03] Diverdude: should just have to do sudo apt-get update [10:03] s/yon/on/ [10:04] iceroot: or would it install Grub2 over windows' ? [10:04] milamber, brb [10:08] am curious about one thing , my ubuntu crashed twice on both times i had a video player on pauze while i was doing something else [10:08] is that a known problem ? [10:08] GOMI: Check htop -- Look for something that cause high spikes in CPU or MEM. [10:09] milamber, its stilol not working :( [10:09] hayz: 5GB absolute minimum, 10GB if you plan on getting a fair amount of applications, 20GB if you want to be sure 20GB+ If you intend to store data (music, video, isos, virtual machines) on the partition as well. [10:09] oke [10:09] milamber, i set it to 10MB, did update and restarted [10:09] GOMI: This sometimes happens if you are using a proprietary flash driver. [10:09] but still gives the same error [10:10] aha ok [10:11] Diverdude: did you do apt-cache clean? [10:11] arand: ok im having a 10GB for my OS as "/" mount point and the rest 30GB for my "/home" as my Datadisk for my 40GB Hard Disk... [10:11] milamber, ahh now i tried setting it to 50Mb and it seems to work better [10:12] hayz: If you only have 40GB HDD. It might be easier to get another HDD solely for your $HOME. [10:13] In Ubuntu versions < 10.04 there was an entry System > Administration > Services > (Services Settings) > Database server > 'mysql'. Where has it gone in Lucid and Maverick? [10:13] hayz: Unless you really need a separate home partition, it could be useful to allocate it all to / unless you know specifically how much will be where in the end. [10:14] milamber, is it possible somehow to see how much cache size is actually needed ? Instead of just guessing [10:15] red2kic: i think that would be fine...coz most of the things we're doing where office like encoding reports and printing no games and other extra installation... [10:15] hayz: Although I guess that you may be able to do resizing at a later time provided the /home and / partions are adjacent. ...or you could use lvm... [10:16] hayz: Ah. Gotcha. That probably will be fine. [10:16] Diverdude: i think it depends on how much you are doing. [10:17] milamber, you mean how many packages are installed? [10:17] is there a way for to format another partition as FAT32 so that if reverting back to something like winxp OS that partition still be accessible and vice versa?...i'd remember last i cant do this...all i did was all were in ext4 [10:18] hayz: Windows Disc OS would install fat32/ntfs. [10:18] Diverdude: apt cache is similar to get, but a separate command: http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/updating-redhat/apt-howto/how-to-use-apt-cache.html [10:18] hayz: gparted can format fat32 === Guest76660 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest96903 [10:20] hayz: I would use ntfs unless it's on a usb stick. [10:20] milamber, apt-cache stats shows me: Total space accounted for: 17.4M [10:20] milamber, probably thats it [10:20] Diverdude: probably. that's why 50 was enough [10:20] arand: ubuntu can create partition NTFS? [10:21] hayz: Installing ubuntu on ntfs might not be a very good idea though. [10:21] there are tools for that [10:21] but ubuntu on NTFS is NO [10:21] would that even work? [10:21] thats what im thinking [10:21] NTFS does support arbitrary properties on its nodes, so for example it can be used for unix type file permissions [10:22] i dont think you get that option during install ? [10:22] Süpecies, asking a group of certified nerds if it will work is a challenge. [10:22] species: there is imo only a FUSE ntfs-driver, to its not working [10:22] is ext4 partition accessible or readble in windows XP OS? [10:22] hayz: not by default but with ext4 drivers, yes [10:22] but i think that NTFS is instructed to use page file instead of our swap partition [10:22] maybe [10:22] Anyone can help me on how to install my USB Huawei Broadband Internet on ubuntu 10.04 TLS [10:23] Anyone can help me on how to install my USB Huawei Broadband Internet on ubuntu 10.04 TLS === xiong is now known as NAMEHERE [10:23] Anyone can help me on how to install my USB Huawei Broadband Internet on ubuntu 10.04 TLS [10:23] laryy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === NAMEHERE is now known as xiong [10:23] Hey, I just wanted to help laryy [10:24] hey [10:24] how to find the progress which I have set in [10:25] is there a way to get the older version of gdm on ubuntu 10 10 [10:25] milamber, exactly [10:25] milamber, thx a lot [10:26] Diverdude: no problem :) once you get your system configured the way you need it, gnu/linux really is rock solid. come back with any more issues [10:26] is there a way to get the older version of gdm on ubuntu 10 10 [10:27] milamber, yeah...its just that there a lot of things to configure === ubuntu_ is now known as kubz_ [10:27] I'm impressed about new ubuntu :) [10:27] sillyman50: Why?

(I guess that LiveCD and Grub2 update is needed, isn't it?) [10:33] live cd with gparted. and a lot of patience. :) [10:33] make backups first also. [10:34] dr_Willis: OK, but how? [10:34] it may be easier to just move some system dirs to a new filesystem to reoorgeniaz the space [10:34] boot gparted cd. use it to resize.. reboot.. hope it works. [10:34] and the grub? [10:34] if needed - fix it. via live cd. [10:34] size will change, which may confuse the grub setup [10:34] !fixgrub [10:34] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic).

[10:37] Like in DVD SHrink in MS [10:37] I'm still pissed that when I was installing ubuntu it asked if I wanted to install it along side another operating system so I said yes and it proceeded to erase my win7 install [10:38] i'm trying to disable some daemons (smbd, cupsd....). i have tried bum and sysv-rc-conf. the only service that disabled was bluetooth. what should i do? [10:38] Or you messed up cosmo.. but in any case.. ine should always have backups. [10:38] Ive had windowsw destroy Linux mch much much more then the reverse has ever happened. [10:39] john123: man update-rc.d [10:39] cosmo: This should be reported as a bug, so the win7 partition is gone and the current ubuntu partition covers the whole disk?

[10:44] given how vague what you are asking is... :) i would be suprised.. heh.. debuging can get. complex. [10:45] john123 what are yo trying to do exactly? [10:45] just disable startup services [10:46] what service? [10:46] some are as simimple as editing /etc/init/whateer.conf to be whatever.DONTRUN [10:46] smbd, cupsd [10:46] look in /etc/init/ [10:47] i think both are ran from there. but may not be using those exacxt names [10:47] Hi everyone [10:47] <_cronus_> john123, check update-rc.d also [10:48] I have a problem with ubuntu, can i get here support?

[10:51] 3gb isa not a lot of space... [10:51] what is sslug? [10:51] dr_Willis: It's happening on my usb stick as well. I believe it's the filesystem. it's 16gb [10:51] on my *new usb stick [10:51] fsck the fileysstem, or reformat it. perhaps.

[11:02] hayz, there is no way possible [11:02] hayz it shouldent [11:02] i would suggest just reformating the usb. [11:02] and use some live antivirus cd on the windows box.

[11:03] that should be done on Ubuntu [11:03] does anyone know how can I install a file from the source on an usb-os [11:04] because its keep saying the the free space is zero [11:04] hi [11:04] while it is not [11:04] hayz, if you're worried about a virus(which i doubt you have), you could always install and run clamtk. it's anti-virus for linux [11:04] You can install a Live-cd typs setup to ausb flash drive. or ou can do a normal full install. [11:05] linux_user you have a save file that could be full. or the actual flash drive may be getting full. [11:05] Hey, all the beta channel is #ubuntu-natty isn't it?

[13:29] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch12.en.html#s-faq-os-users: "The shell of user sync is /bin/sync. Thus, if its password is set to something easy to guess (such as ""), anyone can sync the system at the console even if they have don't have an account." -- What is a "shell of user sync"? * [13:31] hi [13:31] hey [13:31] i get this message while booting and swap is disabled by default: http://picpaste.com/08cd3e2764cbcb2f7ac4639ec9f033ab.JPG [13:32] bullgard, the program which runs when user sync logs in; also man sync [13:32] raven, check the UUID of your swap matches that in /etc/fstab [13:33] gakhan: Who logs in?

[13:37] !mintsupport | Duck32 [13:37] !mint [13:37] Duck32: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [13:37] Thanks v much [13:37] Hi all, can anyone help me with update issues? [13:37] !mintsupport | Duck32 [13:37] Duck32, please see my private message [13:40] S0LIDUS, if you describe the issues someone may have a solution [13:40] how can I build qt from source [13:40] ? [13:40] FrameFever: why do you want to ? [13:41] it is...correct to run a mail server on a virtual machine running Ubuntu and Zimbra on it? [13:42] it is just as functional as with a physical machine? [13:42] Odaym: if you want [13:42] Odaym: a virtual machine will work [13:42] and what does it take to make a machine a mail server? [13:42] id 2tits4me [13:42] something to change in /etc/hosts and then putting a mail application on it? [13:42] coz_, Yep thanks for that. Well when i try and install software from the synaptic package manager. It says it failed to download please check my network connection. I am connected to the internet though? [13:42] Odaym: depends on a lot, size, thorughput, etc [13:42] Hi, I have a problem with the Internet. I can connect with W-Lan and I can chat with Skype. But I can't use Opera, Firefox or something else ! I'm now online with a live CD. Has anyone an idea? [13:43] rosetree: the browsers are in offline mode ? [13:43] ... [13:43] S0LIDUS, ooo have you tried from a terminal? [13:43] no tired [13:43] \msg ikopnia because I like to [13:43] S0LIDUS, in terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:43] FrameFever: ok, then read the documentation about how to do it [13:44] there is no [13:44] well, I hope not ... that would be really stupid! [13:44] FrameFever: there is, there are README and INSTALL files within the source code [13:44] coz_, yep! [13:44] can you advise a better mail server than Zimbra, ikonia [13:44] ? [13:44] Odaym: it's personal choice, exim/postfix/sendmail/qmail up to you [13:44] S0LIDUS, did you install or delete anything just before you noticed this happend? [13:44] but I'll try! Thanks ikonia [13:45] anyone install the indicator-network applet? [13:45] coz_, Nope! [13:45] it is personal preference, zimbra has everything needed to "do mail" though. You can also go for piecemeal solutions where you need to pick seperate bits of software to do different bits of the mail job === dj is now known as Guest83493 [13:45] how can i start a script ? [13:46] S0LIDUS, then I may not be the person to help with this one...so stick around and then repeat the issue [13:46] FrameFever: just type the script name [13:46] like an SMTP server, an IMAP server, something to do webmail, something to do spamfiltering etc .. [13:46] ./configure [13:46] "not allowd" [13:46] it [13:46] coz_, Thank you for the suggestions! [13:46] I'm using TwinView mode but I want to rotate one of the two monitors... how can I do this ? [13:46] FrameFever: change the permissions [13:46] medo, did you open nvidia-settings [13:47] how does I change the permisson? [13:47] FrameFever: is it executable ? (does ls -la ./configure have any x's in the permissions) ? [13:47] FrameFever: if you don't know how to change permissions, you should not be blindly trying to compile software for no reason [13:47] FrameFever: I'll ask again, what is the reason you want to build QT from source ? what is wrong with the version ubuntu has built for you [13:47] When I try and install software from the synaptic package manager. It says it failed to download please check my network connection. I am connected to the internet though? [13:48] S0LIDUS: probably a dead mirror, in the termianl do "sudo apt-get update" does it error ? [13:48] because I want to know, how can I do it by my own [13:48] coz_: I managed only to rotate the two monitors, I want to rotate only one of them ! [13:48] ikonia, In the terminal it says connection timeout. [13:48] FrameFever: you are not at that level to be able to do it if you are not in a position to know how to change permissions [13:48] FrameFever: I'd suggest checking https://help.ubuntu.com about learning the basics of using linux/ubuntu [13:49] S0LIDUS: what software mirror is it using ? [13:49] no x in the permisson [13:49] S0LIDUS: the same thing happened to me and i switched my ubuntu software mirror from Spain to the Main server [13:50] zelev, Thanks ! [13:50] S0LIDUS: applications, ubuntu software center, edit software sources, Ubuntu software tab and then: Download from [13:50] S0LIDUS: you´re welcome [13:50] yep, i had to switch my mirror today as well [13:50] downloads stalled and timed out [13:51] zelev, You fixed it, thanks. [13:52] ikonia, Thank you for your help! [13:52] S0LIDUS: I´m glad I could help [13:53] I dont found the tutorial for "how does I start a script"? [13:54] good morning - would this be a good place to get help with a software RAID5 setup? [13:57] can anyone help with a RAID5 setup? [13:57] in SCP, the first operand is the source? [13:58] sudo bash script does start a script... [14:00] Anybody here any good with Pascal or Lazarus? I know this is totally the wrong place to ask, but nobody is active in the [14:00] appropriate channels. [14:04] hello there, where is the path evironment variable stored? [14:04] pwd you mean? [14:04] /bin/pwd [14:04] nope [14:04] path [14:04] ah path [14:05] <_cronus_> oneliner, in the $PATH variable [14:05] oneliner: why do you ask? [14:05] _cronus_: so far so good, how could i add to it a directory? [14:06] <_cronus_> export PATH=$PATH: [14:06] ubuntu-es [14:06] jrib, am getting up to speed with assorted configuration methods [14:06] pls [14:06] #!/bin/bash [14:06] if true [ $pwd -e "/home/cristian" ] [14:06] then [14:06] cd "home/cristian/Desktop" [14:06] echo "Ya esta cambiado..." [14:06] else [14:06] precubcr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:07] _cronus_: would that overwritte other entries? would that survive a reboot? [14:08] oneliner: well the answer to your question depends on what exactly you want to do. I can imagine at least 3 different things: (1) how to temporarily add a directory to my path (2) how to permanently add a directory to my path and (3) how to permanently add a directory to every user's path [14:08] a [14:08] <_cronus_> oneliner, it won't overwrite entries since what it does is it appends the directory to the path ($PATH is the original path value), but it won't survive reboot or be shared by shell sessions [14:09] jrib, i know i could probably google each out, but if you could be so kind to exemplify, in a oneliner :) [14:09] hi, is there any program that allows me to write the output of a shell script directly to my gnome desktop ? [14:09] how would i check if there is another gnome session running? (connecting via nx) [14:09] hey [14:10] micha_: if the command is run from the terminal, you can pipe it to a file on your desktop. is this what you were looking for? [14:10] why does ubuntu use an older kernel than debian? [14:10] oneliner: well what _cronus_ said earlier does (1). To do (2) you essentially do (1) in ~/.profile. If you view ~/.profile you'll see an example of this with ~/bin (the code there actually checks if ~/bin exists, and if it does, adds it to the PATH. To do (3), you would use /etc/environment [14:10] and why doeant it have proper xen support like debian? [14:11] phix: 10.04 uses 2.6.32-29 squeeze uses 2.6.32-5 [14:11] jrib: excelent, thank you very much [14:11] rigved: no not exactly, i am looking for a programm which displays text on the desktop for a defined time [14:11] phix: so debian uses an older kernel [14:11] 没人说中文的 [14:11] how to learn how ubuntu works [14:11] about its internal like scheduling [14:11] hai all...

[17:49] so how do i best configure my machine to use its 3d acceleration [17:49] without specifying the file TWICE [17:49] some docks and other apps can use compositing for teransparancies and other effects [17:49] dunmanifestin: what video chip are you using? [17:49] something like: iconv -f latin1 -t UTF-8 1.txt -o SELF [17:50] help please [17:50] then whats the point of the fancy effects if theres nothing useful about it? [17:50] the point of fancy effects is to look fancy [17:50] Polah, have youlooked to see even though your not getting a mount if the HD shows up in gparted? [17:50] phoenixsampras: 'help please' is all you say. Why [17:50] ActionParsnip: ati radeon x1200 in me laptop.. [17:50] I can just not establish my WiFi connection in shell. It says something something invalid arguement "MYKEY" when I do iwconfig wlan0 essid MYESSID key MYKEY [17:51] ruan: lol but you cant use any of the fancy effects [17:51] dunmanifestin: what make / model is the laptop please [17:51] what do you guys think about a business card witth the phrase: "I don't work for money" big in the front and "It's all about the challenge" in the back, along with the info and a qrcode? [17:51] I find a few (very few) of the compiz effects usefull. [17:51] hi, can anybody here program shellscripts? if yes, i have a question: i have 2 echo-commands (one before and one after another command) like the following: [17:51] its an emachines d620 amd 64 [17:51] echo "changing directory..." [17:51] cd directory [17:51] echo "done" [17:51] however, is there any way to get the output of the 2 echo-commands in the same line? [17:51] greenIT: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:51] greenIT: echo has a option to not print a \n (line feed) so yes.. [17:52] check its docs. [17:52] greenIT: ad a 2nd line as: echo [17:52] Dr_Willis, thx [17:52] Whisky_: maybe you have to do « key s:MYKEY » for a clear text key [17:52] hey again :P === D_N_X is now known as DNX [17:52] greenIT: echo -e "line one\c line two" [17:52] luist you will sure get a few laughs [17:52] greenIT: so after the changing directory echo, add the echo line [17:52] I just installed some stuff with aptitude, how do I uninstall everything I just installed (wrong version of php :\)? [17:53] echo -n line1 [17:53] from memory, the surpress newline is -n [17:53] erUSUL: Tried that too. No luck :( [17:53] greenIT: use echo -n in the first to avoid the newline. also you should chck cd return status. the dir may not exist [17:53] vlaar: :P [17:53] yay, thx for the many answers^^ [17:53] Whisky_: note that iwconfig only works for wep [17:53] greenIT: that would be echo -e "line 1\c "; cd blah; echo "line 2" [17:53] Hello. [17:53] erUSUL: Oh! I'm on WAP [17:53] Just wondering if anyone has fixed the slow wifi problem on 10.10 64bit Ubuntu !? [17:54] greenIT: echo -n "changing directory..."; cd dir && echo "done" || echo "failed" [17:54] i havent even bothered with the wifi problems yet [17:54] can u use ssh -R and -L together [17:55] I don't think you can do that [17:55] '~$ lsof | grep /var/log/kern.log' does not produce any output. How can I determine what program writes my file /var/log/kern.log? [17:55] #mifos [17:55] erUSUL: How do I connect to WAP then? [17:55] i need help [17:56] dunmanifestin: you have ran the addational drivers tool and installed whatever extra drivers that video card may need? [17:56] bullgard: used sudo? [17:57] llutz: No. I wil repeat but using sudo. [17:57] hello, anyone good with samba ... I am trying to get samba4 installed but every time i try to install it does not seem to be droping the files where there suposto be... /etc/samba/smb.conf there is nothing in the dir and im wondering if anyone knows why [17:57] Dr_Willis:to my knowledge, yes.. the effects activate but after i logout, i try login and the screen locks up. maybe that was because of emerald. Im trying with KDE this time. will kde help with 3d rendering? [17:58] dunmanifestin: kde has its own special effects.. and i would remove emerald and forget it ever existed... [17:58] ok... one more question: is there a way to say the shellscript that the command is longer than one line? for example to put cd dir in one line and put && echo "done" in the line below? [17:58] greenIT: yes.. You may want to be reading up on some bash tutorials soon. :) [17:58] llutz: : "~$ sudo lsof | grep /var/log/kern.log; [sudo] password for detlef: ***; lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/detlef/.gvfs; Output information may be incomplete. rsyslogd 815 syslog 5w REG 8,6 425596 292906 /var/log/kern.log.' -- Thank you very much for your help. [17:59] I forget the syntax.. but it exists. [17:59] Trying to reset my MySQL password, following the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset but seems the newest version of mysql works a little differently, are there updated directions anywhere? [17:59] k, then i ask google^^ [17:59] Dr_Willis:ive removed emerald let me see what KDE does. ill be back im sure [17:59] It replies to SET PASSWORD FOR root@'localhost' = PASSWORD('password'); with ERROR 1290 (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --skip-grant-tables option so it cannot execute this statement [18:00] Katronix, if you used the method I used, try using the password you gave as root instead of the mysql account too [18:00] Whisky_: via terminal commands... you have to use wpa_supplicant... [18:01] there was something screwy like that involved, if you've been trying the password you gave as root, try it as the sql account, but either way the password worked, just for a different account than I had suspected [18:01] hi there, i'm using ubuntu 10.10, and i wonder why there is no binary package for xine (libxine) which has vdpau enabled, also applications based on xine (kaffeine for example) is therefore unable to play 1080i (hdtv) content [18:01] its hard to express how much that sucks to me [18:02] dgtl: interesting [18:02] Whisky_: wpa_supplicant is a file that lists all your commands needed for wpa authentication [18:02] dgtl: try the vdpau ppa [18:02] dgtl: there's Xorg drivers ppa with vdpau enabled [18:02] Dr_Willis: yay, i found the command... pretty simple^^ i just have to put a backslash at the end of the line^^ [18:02] ActionParsnip, i wouldnt be here if i hadnt tried that before [18:02] ActionParsnip, there are only packages for older ubuntu versions, not for 10.10 [18:03] dgtl: I can't assume anything can I, do you expect me to assume some thing you may have tried!? [18:03] kevdog: I'll try that now. Thank you. Be right back. [18:03] dgtl: think about it [18:03] ActionParsnip, not the point, no offense anyway [18:03] dgtl: nvidia right? [18:03] dgtl: there is nothing you can do as I assume youo have tried every possible avenue of solution..... [18:03] MeanEYE, yes [18:04] dgtl: do you know how to add new repository? [18:04] dgtl: why don't you tell us what you have tried in order to helpus help you.... [18:04] MeanEYE, sure, i did [18:04] hello [18:04] Anyone else having problems with watching more than one youtube video at the same time? 64 bit, google chrome [18:04] MeanEYE, i added those ppa repos [18:04] dgtl: the point of asking for help isn't to assume that everyone knows every avenue that you've attempted [18:04] dgtl: nvidia-vdpau?! [18:04] oops... I accidentaly messed up all my environment variables. where is "nano" located? I need to change my /etc/environment again :( [18:04] I have trouble getting an usb2vga adapter working [18:04] manufacturer is "manhatten" [18:04] andai: no but why and howcan you watch 2 videos at once? [18:04] Gnea, again, not the point + no offense given [18:04] durre: /usr/bin/nano [18:05] 64-bit Flash Player seems to explode if I try to watch 2 videos at the same time in Chromium [18:05] MeanEYE, yes [18:05] when I modprobe sisusbvga nothing happens [18:05] MeanEYE, there are no packages for 10.10 [18:05] MeanEYE, in those repos [18:05] dgtl: oh I see [18:05] I didn't know 64 bit flash was such a culprit, maybe that's what's screwing up my firefox 4 beta =/ [18:05] ActionParsnip: You open two windows! [18:05] andai flash and 64-bit just suck big time [18:05] I'm on 10.10 64bit [18:05] can anyone help me? [18:05] vlaar: Yeah. If i close the second one, the first one stops being weird/stuttering [18:06] andai: surely you can only watch one at a time, wouldnt the sound get garbles.. [18:06] ActionParsnip He might be an elvis impersonator like me =( [18:06] dgtl: there's also ubuntu-x-swat ppa with newer drivers but I don't know if there's vdpau support [18:06] vlaar: never had an issue with 64bit flash [18:06] MeanEYE, currently only mplayer is able to take advantage of vdpau in 10.10, i wonder why there are no binary packages for vlc, xine (and based apps) and so on.. [18:07] 64bit flash with chrome doesn't like more than one youtube video playing at a time here either [18:07] ActionParsnip: I'm watching tsunami footage from japan [18:07] MeanEYE, i already got x-swat in my apt sources-list [18:07] ActionParsnip: Basically opening a bunch of videos looking for the good ones [18:07] ActionParsnip then i guess you're one of the lucky guys [18:07] MeanEYE, there is nothing [18:07] andai: news travels slow huh [18:07] my problem is with 64 bit flash and firefox, but I think it is relevant in that it helps narrow things down [18:07] dgtl: no binary packages for vlc? since when? [18:07] there aint much information on the web about sisusbvga [18:07] ActionParsnip: Yeah i slept for like 15 hours today. I watched it yesterday too [18:07] manukalibur: maybe the kernel module is not available in the place where modprobe looks for kernel modules. use insmod [18:07] Gnea, with vdpau support, please check context [18:07] vlaar: I just know nice tweaks to make it nice, plus all my hardware is purposefully 100%linux compatible [18:08] reval: I gave up on firefox, but the problem seems to be specifically with flash [18:08] Gnea yeah, that's what I was aiming at saying, hehe [18:08] dgtl: offense taken at your suggestion that I did not. [18:08] thanks rigved, I tried insmod, but dont know how [18:08] I would like to allow the same login/password to work across multiple ubuntu machines.. how would I go about this? [18:08] reval: :) [18:08] andai: I see, have you tried other browsers? [18:08] insmod: can't read 'sisusbvga': No such file or directory [18:08] Yup, firefox, same thing [18:08] I tried firefox in wine but that just crashes everything :D [18:08] andai: use a newer flash [18:09] also tried : insmod /lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusbvga.ko [18:09] llutz: Installing the DEB program package »sysklogd« would install the daemons sysklogd and klogd and apparently deinstall rsyslogd. What is the advantage of such an endeavour? [18:09] manukalibur: go to the folder where you have the kernel module. then in the terminal, type - sudo insmod filename.ko [18:09] andai: tried opera or midori or arora? [18:09] Andai any idea if gnash would solve your problem? [18:09] bullgard: i don't see any advantage, imho rsyslogd is much user-friendlier and does a good job [18:09] ActionParsnip (apt-get install) xD [18:10] andai: or lightspark [18:10] andai: what do you mean? [18:10] !lightspark [18:10] aww =( [18:10] things like that are a hell of a reason why ppl dont wanna use linux, no vdpau support, no possibility to play 1080{i,p} content without going through a lot of pain [18:10] andai: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/open-source-flash-alternative-lightspark-final-released/ [18:10] llutz: Ah! Thank you very much for your judgement. [18:10] insmod: error inserting 'sisusbvga.ko': -1 Invalid module format [18:10] what do you guys understand with a business card that is written in one side: "this card is off-topic"? [18:10] ActionParsnip: Oh hey it works in Opera [18:10] from within the directory [18:10] dgtl: never had an issue with it here [18:11] andai: then thats cool :) [18:11] bullgard: syslogd/klogd are much older and were used in most distros over years. thats why most howtos/docs refer to it [18:11] ty [18:11] ActionParsnip, try playing 1080i content with kaffeine, and you will have an issue [18:11] :-) [18:11] does ubuntu comes with mongodb? [18:11] llutz: I see. [18:11] dgtl: i use lxde with gnome-mplayer and its fine [18:11] ActionParsnip, try playing 1080p content with vlc under ubuntu 10.10, then you will have further issues [18:12] ActionParsnip, this list goes on and on and.. [18:12] uh. I hope this isn't asking for a war: but anyone got IDE suggestions? I really like CodeLite, but for example I can't open half a thousand files at a time in different subdirectories. [18:12] and frankly big project managing is a small hell with it [18:12] dgtl: tried mplayer (smplayer in kde, gnome-mplayerin gnome) [18:12] !ide | tzaeru [18:12] tzaeru: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [18:12] Does someone here have experience with grub? [18:12] ActionParsnip, but I asked suggestions, not list [18:12] !poll | tzaeru [18:13] !info syslog-ng | bullgard to make the confusion complete, this also exists :) [18:13] tzaeru: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

Version 3.1.2-1 (maverick), package size 306 kB, installed size 688 kB [18:13] ActionParsnip, and I asked exactly preferences :> [18:13] tzaeru: try a few, see which you like [18:13] ActionParsnip, then you might have a 'big' cpu, because your cpu will have to decode [18:13] dgtl: FWIW, 10.10 just plain sucks when it comes to certain things, vdpau being one of them.... you could go back to 10.04 or hope that 11.04 has it working right... #ubuntu+1 might be of some help [18:13] oh well [18:13] yeah [18:13] dgtl: there are certain realities you ahve to face with respect to driver support for various operatin systems [18:13] dgtl: 3000 AM2 semperon with 2Gb RAM [18:14] dgtl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037625 sounds like you are using default configs [18:14] ActionParsnip: I wish Unity didn't suck so bad, there are people that are trying to make an honest attempt at rolling it out in some production scenarios and it's just not very user-friendly [18:14] ActionParsnip, and you can play real 1080p content without any problem? [18:14] dgtl: have you looked in settings for your players and tweaked? [18:15] rigved: can you help me further or is there just no answer? [18:15] The program 'samba' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [18:15] sudo apt-get install samba4 [18:15] that is what it says when i type in samba [18:15] dgtl: as far as I can tell, I've plaed a tone of video on it witout issue. I'm bound to have played some at one time [18:15] real 1080p content is moot, as its dependent on the scene how much resources are needed for rendering [18:15] mrdeb, sorry sir, ubuntu 10.10 is out for a while, there is no reason for not supporting 10.10 while every older version is able to use vdpau [18:15] jgcampbell300: why are you telling us this? why don't you just do what it suggests? [18:15] tzaeru may be a bit late but I really like just using vim. It's got some great features, and amazing plugins from vim.org [18:15] dgtl: so 10.04 does not have this issue? [18:15] Gnea: i'm getting used to it but purely for support means [18:15] manukalibur: does this kernel module output anything to the logs? [18:15] Gnea, becouse i just installed it [18:16] why dont you install the deb for it [18:16] jgcampbell300: okay, so what's the problem? [18:16] mrdeb, no, it does not have this issue, cause one can use the nvidia ppa for vdpau enabled packages [18:16] reval, yeah well, I'm not big of terminal based editors due to their steep learning curve :P [18:16] rigved: I dont know which log to look at [18:16] dgtl: then use 10.04, its supported way after Maverick support ends, and some of natty too [18:16] manukalibur: /var/log/messages and /var/log/kern.log [18:17] hey ubuntu peoplez i need some help [18:17] gnea, well i cant get a compleat install of samba to happen again ... i had samba runing but decided i need to remove becouse i made a mess of things so i sudo apt-get purge samba ... now when i try to install i is not even droping files in /etc/samba/ [18:17] DKDude36: ask away [18:17] ActionParsnip, never, cause this would mean that i have to reinstall and configure a whole new system, that is no alternative, never [18:17] DAMN 1500 MEMBERS! [18:17] dgtl: well you have your choices [18:17] who is superior, Perl or Python? [18:17] ActionParsnip, that is no choice at all [18:18] DKDude36: try describing your problem [18:18] well ya so anyways, i;ve tried to duel boot a fe times on my imac [18:18] tzaeru I've gotta say, I had trouble with visual studio when I tried it due to figuring out even enough options to make a program. I'm by far not professional, but the flexibility involved with vim combined with a disciplined methodology beats out any ui I have seen with the exception of xcode for it's newer autocorrecting features. [18:18] rigved: kernel: [ 450.867179] usbcorsisusbe: registered new interface driver [18:18] but i always get a symbol on the bottom of the screen [18:18] !best | phoenixsampras [18:18] phoenixsampras: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[18:18] manukalibur: in the terminal - tail -f /var/log/messages and in another terminal - tail -f /var/log/kern.log After this, open another terminal and try the modprobe and insmod commands again and check if anything gets logged to the logs [18:18] tjat looks like a chip = a person [18:18] ActionParsnip, do you know a tv application such like kaffeine for ubuntu 10.10 which is able to use vdpau and therefore can handle 1080i content? [18:18] jgcampbell300: what version of ubuntu is that? [18:18] phoenixsampras: both and neither [18:18] dgtl: PPA's are not available for whatever revision its maintainer chooses to release them. Either match the release they package for or you will have to package the software yourself [18:18] does anybody in here know? [18:18] gnea, 10.10 [18:18] and then the livedvd whirrs for about 10 mins and then comp shuts off [18:18] -not [18:18] phoenixsampras: python is said to be easier and is used heavily in ubuntu though [18:19] ActionParsnip: should i learn C++ , python or perl? [18:19] tzaeru Whatever you choose is obviously up to you, but I'd urge you to find a good resource on vim and just play around with it. [18:19] acicula, thanks for hint, but i already knew that [18:19] dgtl: I always use gnome-mplayer under lxde and i've never had an issue but its a case of !wfm [18:19] reval, if I know vim commands from my backbone yeah, might be true. but I already have dyslexia and learning difficulties, trying to keep in my mind any key commands without days and days of learning doesn't work [18:19] *know=knew [18:19] phoenixsampras: whichever suits your needs [18:19] phoenixsampras: to do what? [18:19] erUSUL: i see, sounds like i should learn pythin [18:19] Can someone please help... things are going from bad to worse... I cannot boot ubuntu 10.10 cd on system I have installed 2 instances of 10.10 on previously -> the only difference between then and now is upgraded video card then was nvidia 6200 now is nvidia 220 [18:19] on top of that it's handy to see names of directories and files with projects of +2 000 files :) [18:19] to make standalone application appliances [18:19] DKDude36: so you are booting livecd / usb?

[18:24] manukalibur: and is the usb2vga interface working? [18:24] manukalibur: now after you have inserted the driver? [18:24] hey guys [18:24] err mrdeb that was meant for dgtl [18:24] rigved: no it's not working, only works under windows, even in virtualbox [18:24] Haha, talking to my stupid mate, and he says no way your computer kan take a 90/90mbit line (fiber) :D haha [18:25] ugh [18:25] Farhan [18:25] so is there no way to dual boot on a new imac/ [18:25] rigved: meaning hardware is working [18:25] what is the easiest way to restore ubuntu like it was when it was first installed? [18:25] galaxyAbstractor: doing a clean install === Guest24771 is now known as DarkDevil [18:25] does one of you have an idea (or the same problem) why nm-applet / network-manager some times stop working and i have to restart my notebook to reconnect to the wlan? [18:25] douglarret here is a link to the minimal installer, there is also an alternate install option that is also text based (I couldn't find it time is a factor), try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [18:26] rigved: xorg log: Information [ 22.337] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for sisusb [18:26] kreantos, YES! i thought i was the only one but apparently not! [18:26] acicula, i mean both, a mediaplayer would be okay for me, it is at least 'anything' [18:26] why bash doesn't find cd when running sudo cd [path ] ? [18:26] !alternate [18:26] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [18:26] !minimal [18:26] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [18:26] apparently no IDE supports adding full directories to project.. >_> === DarkDevil is now known as Guest58331 [18:26] geez. [18:26] acicula, they cannot use vdpau under ubuntu 10.10 [18:26] yuzodo: thinkpad? [18:26] why bash doesn't find cd when running sudo cd [path ] ? [18:26] kreantos, a dell [18:26] marlow59: cd is not a command [18:26] Can someone help me diagnose my lirc issues? I had it working in 10.04, but my remote control is unresponsive in 10.10. [18:26] acicula, because there are no packages which are coming with vdpau support enabled [18:26] koi mera hindi bhai hai ? [18:26] yuzodo: do you have a solution for this? [18:26] marlow59: cd is a internal shell order [18:26] kreantos, using the global menu? [18:27] erUSUL: and what is it? [18:27] marlow59: what are you trying to do ? [18:27] yuzodo: global menu? [18:27] kreantos, to have the menus in the top panel [18:27] tzaeru, I use NetBeans, and you can add directories, Eclipse, and the spin off Aptana does the same.. [18:27] so nobody can help me? no ubuntu for imac? [18:27] How do I make an init.d script I made not detach the session to run it? [18:28] erUSUL: just get into some directories without using su, there's no way to use temporar priviledges to run cd ? [18:28] if you want for example kaffeine with vdpau support, you will have to compile xinelib and some other stuff with vdpau support, after that you will have to compile kaffeine against that vdpau-enabled xinelib [18:28] and so on [18:28] that is a pain [18:28] numpy, last I tried eclipse it was still painfully laggy and isn't netbeans java only? [18:28] a huge pain [18:28] yuzodo: do you mean the context-menu of nm-applet? [18:28] dgtl: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:28] !rootshell | marlow59 [18:28] marlow59: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [18:28] DKDude36: ok when the disk starts to boot, press SPACE and test the CD for defects as well as test RAM [18:28] omg FloodBot? lol [18:28] dgtl: ah like so, what about this PPA ? https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/cutting-edge-multimedia [18:28] kreantos, no, nevermind :P, I have no idea to fix it then sorry >< [18:28] NetBeans is NOT a Java only IDE, it supports all but COBAL and FORTRAN afaik :-) its huge. [18:28] erUSUL: sudo su is a variant? [18:28] ActionParsnip: what would u classify as disk booting? [18:29] tzaeru netbeans is awfully slow too. [18:29] marlow59: yes [18:29] dgtl: log a bug then [18:29] is there any reason not to have your mysql root password the same as the root user password? [18:29] reval thanks [18:29] erUSUL: not advisable ? [18:29] yuzodo: ok ;) so you have to reboot also every time? [18:29] acicula, no packages for 10.10, not the needed packages (libxine) for example in the cutting edge repo [18:29] marlow59: sudo -i is preferable [18:29] DKDude36: when the DVD starts to boot, you should see a stickman with a keyboard. Press SPACE there [18:29] douglarret I might also check out the options on the regular install to see about a text based from that [18:29] erUSUL: why? [18:29] ActionParsnip: ya thats exaclty what i'm seeing lemie try that [18:29] rigved: I have to leave, thanks for your help [18:30] vlaar, tzaeru: I personally don't have performance issues with it, but results may vary. [18:30] dgtl: yeah i just saw that too, odd that its not repackaged [18:30] and should i use bootcamp or disk utility to partition? or does it matter? [18:30] DKDude36: you should test RAM and CD from there [18:30] kreantos, i logged out and back in, but i managed to fix it, but that won't work for you, make sur eyou have all the latest updates [18:30] acicula, yes... [18:30] Katronix: always. Anytime you have the same password for multiple critical services, you make the system that much easier to compromise. Most especially if you have MySQL open to the world (for which you deserve to be slapped anyway). [18:30] is there a way to overclock within ubuntu? w/o having to do it from bios? [18:30] marlow59: it uses the users env; no good [18:30] ah i see [18:30] Da|Mummy: do not think so [18:30] yuzodo: ok, i have already the latest updates [18:30] thank you so much ActionParsnip lemmie partition reboot and try it [18:30] Da|Mummy: overclocking happens below the OS level. You overclock from your BIOS, not your operating system. [18:31] erUSUL: but why other commands such as ls coud be run with sudo, and not cd? I don't get it [18:31] Katronix it is also a bad practice to really have mysql enabled for the root account. having it's own separate account allows people to utilize the mysql capability without having too much power over the system. [18:31] marlow59: becouse cd is *not* a command. ls is a command but cd is not [18:31] ActionParsnip, i see no sense in doing so, cause there is obviously no critical mass on my side, which would mean that the bug woul be ignored [18:31] hmm [18:31] one last question do i partition as free space or fat or what? [18:31] marlow59: cd is an internal shell thing... [18:32] erUSUL: okay, I'm gonna search info about cd. Thanks [18:32] numpy, tzaeru in big projects using member menu to jump to certain functions takes ages on a fresh install [18:32] dgtl: well from what i can glance right now vdpau is included because of license disagreements, so if you want to have it working reliably sticking with repackaged binaries for lts versions is your best bet [18:32] ActionParsnip, been there, done that before with some other stuff, bug hangs there for more than half a year now, getting 'autoclosed', lol no thx [18:32] How do I make an init.d script I made not detach the session to run it? I just want it to kick off and return me to my session... I have an exit 0 at the end of the script. [18:32] kreantos, ok, sorry then >< maybe someone else knows [18:32] dgtl: as it does not seem that vdpau will be included in the official release soon [18:32] I am having issues installing drivers for Asus N13 usb dongle, with error, make: *** [LINUX] Error 2 [18:32] dgtl: shame [18:32] ok i'll go free space bi [18:32] ActionParsnip, :> [18:32] can you tell... [18:32] yuzodo: np, thank you [18:32] tohuw: your question makes little sense. what does that script do ? [18:32] Can someone help me diagnose my lirc issues? I had it working in 10.04, but my remote control is unresponsive in 10.10. [18:33] anybody know how to fix this? [18:33] :) [18:33] qanadin: you shouldn't need to install new drivers [18:33] what about ruby, says is slower than java? [18:33] erUSUL well it doesn't see the USB dongle [18:33] qanadin: try this first « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(lsb_release -cs)-generic » [18:33] qanadin: reboot [18:34] acicula, thanks for your opinion, yes, it seems going back to LTS is the only option (which is no option for me) [18:34] would a backport hely with dgtl's problem? [18:34] erUSUL: cd, sometimes also available as chdir (change directory), is a command line command to change the current working directory in operating systems such as Unix, DOS, OS/2, AmigaOS . First line in wikipedia [18:34] help* [18:34] erUSUL: cd, sometimes also available as chdir (change directory), is a command line command to change the current working directory in operating systems such as Unix, DOS, OS/2, AmigaOS .

[18:35] erUSUL I will give it a try thanks [18:35] marlow59: yes but there is a difference between internal shell commands like cd; for; done; if; set; shopt etc... and external commands that come in binaries outside bash's [18:35] erUSUL: when I issue "sudo /etc/init.d/smuxi-server start", I get "Detaching to start /usr/bin/smuxi-server...done." and I can't do anything in that session until I break with Ctrl+C. [18:36] dgtl: im curious though why vdpau support isnt made part of the restricted-extras package like any other codec [18:36] Hey guys, I have a kind of problem. I boot Ubuntu and it continues booting though one of my partitions is fscked. I don't want to continue booting as long as the fsck is running as my data are on that drive. Can I somehow change this behaviour? [18:36] man, i haven't updated ubuntu in a while (running 10.10 from a fresh install) - i've got like 300mb of updates available for download. i'm really scared to do it all at once, since, chances are, something's gonna stop working. and there are just so many updates that 1 by 1 isn't feasible. is there any way to revert to my current system state if something goes wrong? [18:36] erUSUL: ok, so bash can't find internal commands if run with sudo? [18:36] marlow59: it can. [18:36] marlow59: no; it is sudo the one that can not find a cd binary becouse there is none [18:36] Can someone help me diagnose my lirc issues? I had it working in 10.04, but my remote control is unresponsive in 10.10. The USB reciever is definetly there as lsusb sees it.

[18:38] tzaeru vlaar, im not saying its the best, but it does support source imports to existing projects, as do Eclipse and a few others that use SCM. Heck I think most higher level ide's do, it just may not be apparent i.e. calling it source import etc. [18:38] rajvi, just to do some work use a shell [18:38] bittyx-laptop: not really, but updating is fairly safe in my experience [18:38] hi, does anyone know of a way to execute a script after ubiquity finishes the install?

[18:44] tzaeru it matters a bit but it goes both ways, some apps are faster 64 bit some are faster 32, and 32 seems a bit more developed and stable (flash for example) [18:44] tzaeru: you will notice more responsiveness and faster performance in media and encoding. however, it's no substantial in most cases for common programs [18:45] erUSUL: I found the problem... the debug (verbose) output for smuxi-server is -d, not -v. So the script was choking on an invalid param [18:45] the bigthing is flash [18:45] hello. X in Ubuntu is locked up for me and I cannot do anything but move the mouse cursor.

I never had any problem with those. [20:08] it's going to run headless as a virtual machine server [20:08] ttist25: does your application push high iops [20:08] woohoo, I have a network connection [20:08] ikonia, is there no other chance?

[20:13] re difference between aptitude and apt-get for me and hiexpo - What does this mean? --> aptitude is a wrapper for dpkg just like apt-get/apt-cache, but it is a one-stop-shop tool for searching/installing/removing/querying. [20:13] gilles: maybe some help there [20:14] wullee: I presumed you knew which file and had a specific error that you experienced when I suggested that, if there are no current symptoms, that will presumably not do.

[20:15] how do i take screen shots of my desktop ? .. same thing as wiondows? .. print sreen key?

[20:16] applications/accesories/take_screen_shot [20:16] arand, it says that some files have no ending but i know this only from the ani virus log. where can i see all system changes? [20:17] @gilles [20:17] arand, what does "seed" mean in this context? And what was the disadvantage or advantage that caused it to be removed? [20:17] ActionParsnip: is there a wildcard for 192.168.0.everything? [20:17] When I use GDebi, is there a log for this? What application is used to install .deb files?

[20:18] hseal, have you tried using GPartEd? [20:18] that's what I'm using now [20:18] hseal, why not just use it for storage. or as a NTFS partition that can be read by any system [20:19] Is there any plugin for totem that allows me to watch internet tv channels? [20:19] I need a subnick "learning_to_fish" like a subtitle [20:19] @nakomik i heard if you turn the shower on, throw the HDD in there, soap, water blow dry. prob solved [20:20] Hi. Something weird going on - I'm not see two USB conected storage devices (a HD and flash card) that used to connect fine), but I am getting a new NETWORK drive, when I click on it I get a DESKTOP and Windows Network folder in it. Bizarrely when I connect the flashcard to another computer I still can't access the card but can now see this network option which has a windows network and MYCOMPUTERNAME desktop....wha [20:20] t's going on? Any ideas? [20:20] x_: Have a nice day! [20:20] How do I add extra filesystem types to mount?

[20:21] bcj: search for utils in the repos [20:21] arand: How do I search in the repos? [20:22] Ah [20:22] I think I need ceph-client-tools [20:22] Hmm, maybe not [20:23] bcj are you familiar with synaptic? [20:23] bcj: Seems like it's too new to be in the repositories: http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki/Debian [20:23] bcj also do you have a gui going, or no gui? [20:23] Well, the test machine is headless [20:23] bcj: Otherwise it would be e.g. "apt-cache search ceph" [20:23] I'm running 10.04 and have had no problem connecting the drives before. [20:24] arand: Something is up then [20:24] I've installed ceph on the host machine [20:24] When I try to watch a YouTube video on Totem I receive an error: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error [20:24] bcj you can probably still apt-get install aptitude, and then do aptitude search ceph, but the guy in between my 2 texts prob. has a better solution [20:24] Does anyone has the same problem? [20:24] I've already installed ceph [20:25] The host parts of it are working fine (the Ceph system is running) - I just can't mount the thing [20:25] lucid_j: can you use http://pastebin.com and give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [20:25] the only item in the desktop is a folder called PRINT$ [20:25] where the conversation saved in empathy? [20:26] bcj you'd probably find a ceph fuse module or additional plugin for filesystems. also though http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki/Debian [20:26] as reposted from arand [20:26] how does one set ubunto to mount a smb on every boot ? [20:26] reval: From what I was reading of Ceph, it's in the kernel now - the FUSE filesystem layer is no longer supported [20:26] is there some where in settings ? [20:26] yo sucka [20:26] fuckin irish mic === Guest54167 is now known as DarkDevil [20:27] ActionParnship: Paste what?

Is there a way for me to restart ALSA or do I need to restart my computer [20:28] @ocean no [20:28] bcj: Maybe you'll have to specifically use the mount.ceph binary in /sbin/ [20:28] !guidelines > x_ [20:28] x_, please see my private message [20:29] Lancelot which ubuntu are you using? I want to know if it is a newer one with pulse or one with just alsa [20:29] what/where is smb:// === desudesudesu is now known as desu [20:29] broon_sparrow, it's gvfs convention for SMB networks [20:30] arand: I'll try that, thanks [20:30] reval, I'm using Karmic [20:30] reval, to be honest I'm not sure [20:30] Lancelot I bet that has pulseaudio, from terminal type in 'pulseaudio --kill' and then type in 'pulseaudio --start' [20:31] reval, standby [20:31] I cannot play youtube videos on totem: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error. Any advice? [20:31] gakhan - sorry but what does that mean? I've got a weird network folder showing up and it's location is smb://edward-desktop/ -I've noever come across that locatyion before, what would that mean? any ideas?

Would WINE create it? How can i delete it? [20:33] reval, I already tried that [20:33] why doesn't thunderbird like my godaddy site email password? [20:33] lucid_j: run the command, make a pastebin [20:33] lancelot ok one more thing then, finding it, they changed it around at some point. [20:34] broon_sparrow: it would either be created by installing samba, or someone on your network sharing files/directories/printers === pascal is now known as johnydoe [20:35] ActionParnship: Which command? [20:36] lancelot I know at some point you could do sudo service gdm restart to deal with the gdm, but I can't find a similar command, this thread shows how to kill the processes involved, and that might help.. my last resort really http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452448 === lance_ is now known as Guest24590 [20:37] reval, I might as well just reboot [20:37] how do i scp files through a reverse ssh tunnel?

[20:37] tsimpson: i've not installed samba (as far as I know!) and i'm not on a network [20:37] lancelot I know that was a format change from /etc/init.d/gdm (or alsa-utils) restart [20:37] I haven't followed that too well [20:37] Inphernal: yes it does [20:37] lancelot if it is a constant problem, you could probably make a script to kill it [20:37] reval, is there a place that has good documentation on this stuff [20:38] I guess I could [20:38] arand: Ok, when invoking /sbin/mount.ceph directly, I still get the same error: "mount error: ceph filesystem not supported by the system" [20:38] also it appears on another PC (with my computer desktop) when the flash card is plugged into their machine [20:38] lancelot I really don't know, I'm a hobbyist at best.

[20:46] jrib, I make a fresh install, set it up to auto-login, reboot, dead [20:46] any testing would have shown that [20:46] W3ird_N3rd: do you have encrypted homes?

[22:54] router, I'm heading off to bed at the moment but there are pleanty of tutorials there.

After update installion though, I seem to get a prompt asking to restart? [22:57] g0r33k, security update, like kernel need it [22:57] g0r33k: usually only when a new kernel was installed [22:57] oh I see [22:57] thanks [22:58] soreau: Ok, so now it's mounted with the special options to /home/habs/PSP/mount. The filesystem is still read only though. I can't do anything as a user, but when I run Nautilus as root I can at least try to change the permissions before I get the same error I was getting earlier. [22:58] Anyone have any idea what "Kubuntu 10.10 HDMedia" is? [22:58] Got my answer, sorry :) [22:59] soreau: Sorry, I have to go. Thanks for all your help.

Hope you figure it out [22:59] anybody? [23:00] hi, how can I check if polipio is running ok? torbutton in firefox is saying it cant reach my proxy [23:00] Can anyone help me with this question: What would you recommend? 10.04 LTS or 10.10? [23:00] hi friends [23:00] 10.04 LTS [23:00] how do I get my os version [23:00] distro version [23:01] extra11: lsb_release -a [23:01] Whisky_: It all depends on your purposes [23:01] hi extra11 [23:01] Whisky_: What will you be using ubuntu for? [23:01] user___: The support.mozilla.com page basically said to check that I was running the most recent Flash and Firefox versions. I am. That doesn't seem to be the issue. [23:01] Facebook/email etc. Not really a professional computer or anything. Just the average usage. [23:01] thanks arand, appreciate it [23:02] I am having stability issues with 10.10 so if you are using ubuntu for a server (which you shouldn't be, you should use Debian Squeeze :)) then I wold suggest 10.04 [23:02] does anyone know what command to check if a DVD disc presents in the DVDrive? [23:02] ndxtg: mount [23:02] clicking the test button on torbutton in firefox gave me this error message, any idea how can I check if polipo is running properly: "Tor proxy test: Local HTTP Proxy is unreachable. Is Polipo running properly?" [23:02] tfh@tfeh:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/polipo start [23:02] Starting polipo: polipo. [23:03] Whisky_: LTS is if you want things to stay the same for a long time, regular release if you want newer things and intend on upgrading to a new ubuntu version every couple of years or so. [23:03] Can someone assist me? I just upgraded Ubuntu to 10.10 and it appears that Grub2 might need to be re-installed as I get an error: the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found. I'm trying to follow a guide using the Live CD (8.10) to mount my drive and install Grub. [23:03] truppel: yea, are you? [23:03] phix: do you know which field? I typed it before but only USB fields present, not for DVD/CD disc === mattias is now known as Guest86889 [23:04] user___: I'm running the most recent flash and firefox. [23:04] Whisky_: *Every year or so [23:04] ndxtg: so try and mount it, if you get an error message then there is nothing in there. However ubuntu usually automounts so you will see it in mount [23:05] illriginal can you elaborate what point you're @ during boot when that happens? [23:05] Hi. I'm on 10.10 with gnome. When I want to resize a window by dragging the mouse, there's about 1 or 2 pixels at the edge where I can resize it. Can I increase this more pixels? [23:05] ndxtg: if you see nothing in mount either the automount feature broke or there is nothing in the drive [23:05] phix: any insight into usability speeds? I want it to be fast :/ I believe it slowed down when I upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 [23:05] hi. i lost the top bar of all my applications and nautilus windows so now i can't grab them anymore. i am using global menu on 10.04. how to get the top bars back on all apps and windows? [23:05] kitty_ i get that error typically when Grub gives me a list (Windows 7, Ubuntu, mem test) [23:05] at boot* [23:05] Whisky_: What slowed down? what are you using ubuntu for? desktop? server? pr0n? [23:06] phix: Lol desktop :) [23:06] heras: You can use alt+middlemouse to grab and resize anywhere on the window [23:06] ok, gaming? office? general interneting? [23:06] phix: General internet mainly [23:06] If my flash/firefox problems aren't something that's happening to a lot of people, I'll just try some detective work with setup I have. Maybe it's a plugin conflict or something. [23:07] user___: Thanks for trying to help. [23:07] Is it just me or does CTRL+ALT+D, highlight and middle mouse button not work any more? [23:07] phix: Boot times etc. increased when I upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 [23:07] Different key bindings or were these features dropped? [23:07] !away [23:07] You should avoid noisy away messages and -nicks in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users.

[23:07] can you help me to install a java6.24 bin file in my ubuntu 10.10? I have tried this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/579511/ [23:07] Whisky_: ok, perhaps it is loading more stuff, or there is a service that hasnt been configured correctly that is lagging at startup [23:07] so? [23:08] <[TK]D-Fender> Whisky_: 10.10 has a newer kernel, more supported devices because of it, etc. Seems to work great for most people, so I'd go with taht and keep an eye on 11.04 on the horizon [23:08] Okay, thanks. Going for 10.10 :) [23:08] hihihi100: what's wrong with the java that comes with ubuntu? [23:09] Whisky... make sure you prepare yourself for grub to break ~.~ [23:09] illriginal: WHY!!?? :| [23:09] phix; i dont know: i just installed freenet, and upon using it for the 1st time, it said that should download that version of java from their official site [23:09] just upgraded and now I can't boot into windows or linux [23:09] I still don't understand why grub2 is being used now, grub1 was so simple to setup and install [23:09] illriginal: Lol I already have 10.10 but it screwed up so I'm doing a fresh install :) [23:09] install ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:09] and the commands I'm using seem to be useless since I'm using 8.10 live cd [23:10] and install sun-java6-jre [23:10] ah nice lol [23:10] works the best [23:10] at least for minecraft :) [23:10] illriginal you want to make a bootable cd that will load your ubuntu kernel instead of the live cd? [23:10] heras: I think different themes define different widths, but I don't know how. [23:10] <[TK]D-Fender> illriginal: Every version hsa some person with some sort of problem. Why the doom-speak for your situation? [23:10] hihihi100: I see, well if you are going to install a third party java I recommend installing it under /opt/java or something like that. Then use the alternates application to set it as the default java bin [23:10] Hello Everyone, so far so good on my eMachines em250 netbook (little 10.1 inch screen) after dumping that Windows 7 Starter and installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix.

[23:12] not bad here in south texas, but weather gonna get way hot now, we live in Laredo, TX [23:12] <[TK]D-Fender> illriginal: considering grub2 came with 9.10+ I think that should answer itself. [23:12] Whisky_: 10.10 includes KDE 4.5.1. There's a backport PPA linked from http://kubuntu.org that contains 4.6.1. [23:12] i have a second computer. ill log on with it. [23:12] thank you.

[23:18] menu.lst does not exist. [23:18] kitty_ ^ [23:18] I don't know if anyone answered this while I was asleep, but whenever I run a second flash window/tab in firefox the first goes gray like when plugins first load.

[23:21] !stages | cal_ [23:21] cal_: The Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages. If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot. If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel. This is normal, and not a bug. [23:21] I tried it, but the screen prefs. are so basic. [23:22] Matthew11_ link me /etc/default/grub [23:22] NicolasBahamonde, I'm not sure what you mean. On my computer, when you go to the Output tab, it lets you select which jack to output on. Are you not seeing that?

You don't need to install a driver though, since sound is working [23:27] immortal, i just saw your last post as i came in, what i did was install 10.10 ubuntu from a pendrive. i apologize if thats not the answer you were looking for [23:28] Is there a good Ubuntu forum where Can I start?

[23:46] daftykins, norwegian characters like Æ, Ø, and Å [23:46] and ive got applications crashing all over the shop [23:46] W3ird_N3rd: it's a usb printer [23:46] Usually I have one maxed if something really important or huge is going on. [23:46] otherwise they never max. [23:46] Liminal: Perhaps affinity is being set to two cores only [23:46] liminal, you need more multithreaded software probably [23:46] liminal: last i heard there wasnt many applications that could support 4 cores [23:47] skxx, what happens when you look at dmesg before and after plugging in the USB cable? [23:47] they're nice to have though, aren't they? Just for the sheer 'geek' factor? [23:47] Far^Side: ah, i wonder if WinSCP has some character encoding settings [23:47] W3ird_N3rd: lemme check [23:47] liminal, you could probably pretty much max them using x264 or so [23:48] or run four 1080p movies without hardware acceleration [23:48] daftykins, yes, I know that. But the problem is that I have some files spread around my harddrives with wrong character encodings, and I'm looking for an easy way to find and fix them... [23:48] s/files/filenames/ [23:48] Far^Side: oh ok, i misunderstand then. sorry. [23:48] about:plugins does not work in firefox, whats is the exact command? NOT UBUNTU TERMINAL [23:48] how can i use drupal on ubuntu? [23:48] crlcan81: if u use programs that need fast calculations like latest photoshop or password cracker yes [23:48] hihihi100: tools -> add-ons? :P [23:49] !drupal | induz [23:49] sad ubottu [23:49] anyone knows an app that can communicate with linux socket like netcat communicates with tcp ports? [23:49] induz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Drupal [23:49] W3ird_N3rd, what is x264 [23:49] h.264 encoder [23:49] !google x264 [23:49] I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [23:50] im not saying the application are multithread, im saying the cpu is maxing out and crashing the apps [23:50] daftykins, i was following https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java#TOC-HOW-TO-FOR-32-BIT-UBUNTU [23:50] final check section [23:50] liminal, your CPU is not crashing apps [23:50] W3ird_N3rd: www.pastebin.com/jB8W28fv [23:51] Unknown Paste ID! [23:51] hihihi100: Tools -> Add-ons -> Plug-ins [23:51] Drupal5 or Drupal6 >> [23:51] liminal, if all your applications are crashing (not just one), try memtest [23:51] tested the mem.. all clear [23:51] and check your power supply.. and so on. It's probably a hardware problem [23:51] changed the mem any way.. same problem [23:51] daftykins, lol, thx [23:52] its an expensive psu.. tested the voltage.. all clear [23:52] hihihi100: my pleasure ^_^ [23:52] liminal: i find it hard to believe apps would crash just because the processor's being taxed! [23:52] or could be a driver problem. any case, which or how many cores on your CPU are being used doesn't crash apps. [23:52] liminal, What video card do you have? [23:52] what's the best way to setup an nvidia card for Xorg [23:53] neuro_damage: which Ubuntu, which card and gaming or not? [23:53] W3ird_N3rd: hold on lemme get it right this time... brb [23:53] started with an amd.. changed it for an nvida [23:53] neuro_damage: nvidia-xconfig [23:53] how to make METACITY to run automatically on startup?? [23:53] sorry ati [23:53] same problem [23:54] daftykins: 10.10 geforce GT 335M [23:54] liminal, exactly what apps are crashing? [23:54] daftykins: will def try to game on it, it's one of the alienware laptops :) [23:54] neuro_damage: ah laptop, you could get the latest from the website if you're good with command line so happy to stop X and restart it, otherwise just use the nvidia-current package from hardware drivers [23:54] How to enable the icons in system menu? [23:54] liminal, If using a nvidia install vdpau and the video will be off loaded to the Graphics card,and it won't spike your cpu.. [23:55] actually im on an ati now [23:55] basiclly all apps [23:55] liminal, AMD bought ATi so you were right anyway [23:55] W3ird_N3rd: http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=jB8Q28fv [23:55] but mainly browsers [23:56] soreau, hit alt+f2 and then type gconf-editor [23:56] but thats what im mainly using [23:56] liminal, Flash? [23:56] can anyone suggest any media streaming server software that i can use to stream my music/podcasts from home to my workplace? [23:56] I have a mix of 1 ide drive and 2 sata and they get confused on boot and dont always adhere to a sda sdb sdc scheme and now I cannot boot any suggestions? [23:56] yeah I find flash websites crash more than none flash ones [23:56] liminal, Ati won't cut it..They don't have off loading.. [23:56] daftykins: cheers [23:57] but my current version of google chrome flash isnt working.. and it still crashes [23:57] sagaci: What's the key? [23:57] gregL, irrelevant, Flash for Linux doesn't offload anything [23:57] sagaci: I know it's some gconf key to change, just never can remember which [23:57] is it possible to have 2 monitors, one on one nvidia card, and another on an ati card? [23:57] liminal, how does it crash? [23:57] just disappear? or error msg? [23:58] W3ird_N3rd, Yeah, I didn't see he was using flash.. [23:58] How to enable the icons in system menu? [23:58] soreau, /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons [23:58] how can I mmv a sequence of files? [23:58] soreau, and /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons [23:59] sagaci: Thanks === jh is now known as Guest78819 [23:59] W3ird_N3rd, seemly randomly.. your looking at the page and then you get the :( face
