While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [01:36] is it safe to change my username? i want to change my /home/userdir name basically [01:37] azizLIGHTS: sure... change the directory, the uername in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, and fix the permissions on the directory [01:37] what about programs and stuff [01:37] OR, if you just want to move your homedir, ust change it and copy/mv every there. [01:38] what about ssh keys and stuff [01:38] will i have to remake those [01:38] no. [01:38] but they say ubuntu@myip [01:38] as long as the UID stays the same, IIRC [01:38] that doesn't matter. that's just a comment. [01:39] you still present the data from the same key and the same key is used on the other side. [01:39] thats nice [01:39] i do have root on the machine, maybe i should just make a new user? [01:40] test [01:40] and move stuff there [01:40] If I am creating a class A network with 8 Subnets, what shou my subnet mask be? [01:41] if you don't have root, you likely must make a new user or ask the admin. [01:41] you can't change your homedir [01:41] or username [01:41] without root [01:41] Or create a new user. [01:41] if you have sudo access, it's root enough :) [01:42] creating a new user is usually easier... just open perms on old user such that new user can read everything and copy to newuser's homedir tree as newuser (so perms are right) [01:42] ok [01:43] anyone ever have problems with wine (ubuntu 10.04) where steam freezes on login?

[01:47] shift jey, tmandry [01:47] Thedemon007: is that when it auto mounts the drives? [01:47] promdog: you might not get decent support for that question here, if so try ##networking [01:48] welcome jion us！、 [01:48] Stevethepirate: thank you. [01:48] hello [01:48] http://pastebin.com/bYgfw7nF mickster04 [01:48] fabio333: I tried that, didn't work. Look like I'm not using grub1, not 2 btw [01:48] how do I find out if I have Ubuntu x64 installed? [01:49] yes mickster04 [01:49] is it possible to suppress those messages: user entered the room, user left the room, in here???? [01:49] Thedemon007: uhm then something is severly broken [01:49] giiker: "uname -a" at the prompt, it should say x86_64 in there if you do [01:49] naryfa: /ignore #ubuntu ignore join leave [01:49] isn't that uname -a? [01:49] fabio333: am using 1, not 2* [01:49] aff no mickster04 is this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581883/ the other is manual mount [01:50] is there some reason (outside of a hardware flub) i can't get a console on the 10.04x32 installer? [01:50] Thedemon007: can you see it in windows? [01:50] mickster04: it says there's no such command [01:50] tmandry, so there is a grub.cfg in the /boot folder [01:50] naryfa: oh what client are you using? [01:50] uhm, finch [01:50] Thedemon007: how did you try an mount it? [01:50] /boot/menu something like that i can't remember [01:50] naryfa: no idea, i use irssi [01:51] mickster04: oh, but thanks for trying :) [01:51] yes i can use flash drive in other machine with ubuntu [01:51] fabio333: mmk thanks === gabriel__ is now known as gabriel850 [01:51] sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /mnt [01:51] Does anyone know how to disable autofill forms in firefox 3.6.15 for ubuntu 10.04??

[01:53] sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /mnt mickster04 [01:53] fabio333: do you think it could be overheating? [01:53] no... i'm using sensor and the temp is under 40° === Guest77845 is now known as DarkDevil [01:53] fabio333: Don't always trust sensors. [01:53] by now: temp1: +38.0°C (crit = +90.0°C) [01:53] syrinx_: same thing, no such command, maybe I'm typing something wrong, not a big deal I guess [01:54] I would like to ask.... How many Chinese people are in this place ? [01:54] i thinnk this budget laptop is crap [01:54] anyone know the approx upgrade time needed for 8.04LTS to 10.04LTS? (it's a really fat pipe on the server, so download time is fairly minimal) === DarkDevil is now known as Guest47312 [01:54] Thedemon007: uhm, so are you sure it's vfat and have you tried not mounting it there? is it definitely /dev/ssd? [01:54] fabio333: I learned that most budget things are crap, but that doesn't mean I'm rich lol [01:56] I'm not sure to be vfat but if it is /dev/sdd mickster04 [01:56] what about ubuntu and the warranty? [01:56] jtrucks: im of the opinion that its faster and easier just to reinstall new version... [01:56] Are there any installers/distros that can install on a pc with windows installed without a need of reinstalling windows? I read about some some time ago, but of what i heard they weren fully stable/safe [01:56] mkquist: I don't have that option. it's a remote server and it's production. [01:57] EClaesson: WUBI [01:57] every in place upgrade I've done has worked without issues so far. [01:57] fabio333: what's wrong with it? [01:57] Thedemon007: well basically the mount command is wrong is what it is saying...but the problem is that you are missing some major part of ubuntu that deals with usb, what did you do recently [01:57] Samsung I9000 =-> android IRC =-> wireless connection =-> freenode =-> good result ;-) [01:57] I've compiled my own kernel may be that this is my config file http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581876/ [01:58] EClaesson: I installed ubuntu next to win 7 no reinstall needed, just popped in the install cd and then partioned my drive [01:58] naryfa, maybe ubuntu caused the damage to the system [01:58] Thedemon007: well then i don't know how to fix it. but that'll probably be why it's broken, the kernel has usb drivers [01:58] i want to creat space in my hard drive.How can I do that without harming the installed prgrams? [01:58] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-814657.html [01:59] fabio333: doubt that [01:59] fabio333: I'm sorry I wasn't reading before that, do you mind repeating what is the problem? [01:59] Is there a vm channel? [01:59] researcher1: delete old logs or unused tmp files [01:59] nayfa the problem is that my hp g62 shts down by itself [01:59] researcher1: there is always a risk, make a coppy of your important data [01:59] Thedemon007: what am i looking at? [01:59] seems to be an hardware issue [02:00] ooh didn't read well :S [02:00] Thanks syrinx_ [02:00] fabio333: maybe the fan is stuck [02:00] i can hear it [02:00] researcher1: find the offending directories with the most space and see what isn't needed by doing cd /; du -sm * | sort -n [02:00] hey, does nautilus ever automatically create any folders? [02:01] fabio333: can you still return it? [02:01] aroman: not that I know of [02:01] i suppose so [02:01] fabio333: HP is usually cool about that kind of stuff [02:01] fabio333: then don't wait [02:01] syrinx_: I suspect it's creating a folder called `Desktop` in $HOME [02:01] lol [02:02] desktop is created on install [02:02] yes naturally [02:02] i'm aware of that, lol [02:02] lol [02:02] and it is placed in home [02:02] i was asking the question because it's interfering with my remaster of ubuntu [02:03] i've set XDG to sepcifically NOT create a desktop folder, yet it pops up on the livecd anyhow [02:03] yet when you `adduser`, or install the system, the folder is gone as it should be [02:03] my suspicion is that nautilus caches something before xdg can get to it. [02:03] fabio333: what's the exact model of your laptop [02:03] by now i'm using it with the battery plugged [02:04] Is there a vm channel? [02:04] and uptime says "02:59:42 up 1:56, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.09, 0.06" .. so far so good [02:04] or a virtual box channel? [02:04] naryfa, hp g2 b02sl [02:05] jrmcm: #virtualbox im not sure if its active though [02:05] jrmcm: 230 users [02:05] ruan: thx [02:05] #vbox actually. it redirects [02:06] fabio333: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/568535-hp-pavilion-shuts-down-repeatedly.html [02:06] fabio333: that's the same laptop [02:07] fabio333: they say it could be capacitors [02:07] ruan: yup, just got in [02:07] http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/HP-G62-105SA-Notebook-Shuts-down-suddenly-randomly-and-often/td-p/392989 [02:07] hp is crap [02:08] fabio333: well, everything depends on a particular item, you might get a good one you might get a bad one. Change it. [02:09] hey! does anybody know how to switch the icons between and within the system tray (notification area / indicator applet)? [02:10] what are people using to check sfv files? [02:11] Da|Mummy: cksfv [02:11] using terminal? [02:12] yes [02:12] anything with a nice gui? [02:12] im still stuck on QuickSFV with wine [02:12] good nite... see you soon [02:14] Da|Mummy: closest thing i could find to a gui was a ftp client that supports sfv checking [02:15] ok i guess im sticking to quicksfv with wine...thx [02:15] fisix: right click on applet, uncheck lock to panel, then move or remove to hearts content [02:16] Is it possible/safe to install both 10.10 and 11.04 at once? [02:16] on one system i mean [02:16] TechniCore, sure [02:16] TechniCore, If you have enough hdd space you could install 200 different linux distros [02:16] jrmcm, i'm trying to move the icons themselves. like the internet icon right beside the volume icon [02:17] Because I remember a friend telling me that the two installations can't detect eachother [02:17] anyone of you folks know much about compileing programs like Tor ? [02:17] jrmcm, unlocking to move only allows switching the notification area and indicator applet back and forth as groups [02:18] TechniCore, They can 'detect' each other but you can't be running more than one Operating System at a time so they only 'detect' each others files which is harmless. === lonelyibex is now known as fungo [02:18] !compiling | dustin [02:18] dustin: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [02:19] fisix: there are different "themes" that move the indicators around within each group. [02:20] thanks ruan brb gonna view the site i still gotta find the folder its in :( [02:21] I don't know where to ask so I figured I'd ask this nice group of smart people. I want to utilize some sort of plugin/web software/etc to automatically sell something via paypal, after payment, automatically reach into a mysql database and email a unique PIN to the purchaser... [02:23] matt___, make a php page to do that? [02:23] fisix: Well....I was hoping for something already done, but I have been leaning towards just getting started on that. I'm not sure how it'd work verifying with paypal, but I guess that's the fun part;) [02:25] matt___, me neither. maybe there's some open source code out there that does the job or similar. good luck! [02:25] fisix: Well..I've found a thing or two...but really I'm wanting to get it to work within TomatoCart...this seems to be an awesome piece of stuff right there... [02:27] matt___, tomatocart looks neat! [02:28] fisix: It is based, I believe, on one of those OS's that runs in an internet browser...and it does everything. IF I can just get this to work, I can use it for my entire webstore. See...the problem with me and custom coding PHP is it will be different than the rest of my webstore....I want to use something like TomatoCart, OScommerce, ecwid, etc. === trism_ is now known as trism [02:30] fisix: Maybe the simplest thing to do would be to setup a "download" of instructions on what to do with the PIN, and then write a bash, etc on my desktop that all I have to do is enter email after email and it will grab the stuff from a mysql and email it from my desktop [02:31] Hello. I'm having issues with BCM4306 wireless. I enabled the propitary drivers through the GUI, but network-manager still says the device is missing it's firmware [02:31] when trying to migrate my home dir to an encrypted one, I get an error saying it can't proceed.

[02:32] That also appears in dmesg [02:32] fisix: OR if I could have a system that just allows me to upload 500 images, each with a unique pin, and let 1 customer download 1 image after purchase, and then never download that image again....but I like the record keeping ability of mysql [02:32] matt___, an OS can't run in an internet browser... but maybe a shell script with some php could do the job!

I noticed that in two earlier posts, you specified "/dev/sdd" in your mount command; it should be "dev/sdd1". [02:51] mickster04- i used phonon to prefer the device [02:52] and turned the volume up in kmix [02:52] matt___, ohhh like a cloud / networked os1 [02:52] eristikophiles: ah ok, i don't use kde, so won [02:52] matt___, how exactly does eyeos work anyway? [02:52] t be much help [02:52] matt___, isn't it just mainly a cloud storage system? [02:52] mickster04- well i'm wondering what else i might be missing [02:52] all the stuff on the web seems to be about older versions, and apps other than skype [02:53] well what does skype say about your audio device? [02:53] Thedemon007: Do you still have the problem mounting your 4GB usb stick? I noticed that in two earlier posts, you specified "/dev/sdd" in your mount command; it should be "dev/sdd1". [02:53] fisix: Not really sure...it is interesting [02:53] matt___, yeah.. hahah [02:53] fisix: I assume it is advanced;) [02:53] Hello [02:53] I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 for the first time and I am not sure what file system to use. [02:54] matt___, know anything about penetration testing / network security stuff by any chance? [02:54] matt___, haha probably [02:54] First time in IRC too === Guest47312 is now known as DarkDevil [02:54] futr_vision: you mean like ext4? [02:54] futr_vision : I think most people go with ext4 or ext3. [02:54] ext4 can be used in ubuntu 10.10 === DarkDevil is now known as Guest70220 [02:54] this is desktop.... anyone need help setting that up, lemme know, will be glad to help....... http://imagebin.org/143626 [02:54] whee i got it to work [02:54] :) [02:55] apparently phonon didn't work right the first time [02:55] Thedemon007: It is often a good idea to inspect your connected drives, via: sfdisk -l -OR- df -h -OR- blkid [02:55] :D [02:55] Yes. Not sure if i should use Ext4 etc. or Fat32 which i am more accustomed too. [02:56] futr_vision : NO fat32. of the two most def. ext4 [02:56] ericy http://pastebin.com/SeebeCwv [02:56] futr_vision : something in me just cringes at that thought for some reason. [02:56] soul, mine: http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/8615/screenshot2grc.png [02:56] Thedemon007: Wait, i will look... [02:57] Ok. Just wasn't sure. [02:57] futr_vision: definitely ext4 over fat32, but if you need it to work with windows make a partition with ntfs, [02:57] ericy http://pastebin.com/9u5mSAvh [02:57] soul, that is pretty overwhelming. Of course I'm running xmonad and xmobar so It's next to nothing in comparison ;) [02:58] Got one more Q too. I've already got WinXP and Server 2003 installed on their own drives. I'm install Ubuntu now on its own drive(hopefully). Is there anything special I need to do? === ia9371 is now known as ai931 === ai931 is now known as ai9371 [02:58] Lol, Joshmclvl1... I have compiz and emerald going too... I love helping people set up nice desktops.... Belial, urs looks SUPER nice and clean [02:58] Thedemon007: What is that from? [02:59] futr_vision: not really, follow the on screen instructions :p [02:59] When I try to put a Windows recovery disk into my CD-ROM drive (on either of my Ubuntu laptops), it makes a bunch of whirring and clicking noises but generally won't mount the disk. By insert-eject-repeating I have gotten it to mount once, but it generally won't. I get the following from dmesg when I pop it in: http://pastebin.com/6pmVJXFG [02:59] leave mount point blank? [02:59] Really I'm just interested in mounting the disk image so that I can run it in qemu [02:59] futr_vision: you'll probably be ok, but I'd let someone else more knowledgeable answer first. [03:00] futr_vision: nope [03:00] Is there any way that I could use dd to pull the contents of the disk, even if I can't mount it properly? [03:00] futr_vision: if it's just one big partition for the whole thing use / [03:00] futr_vision, be very sure you select the right disk if you repartition/wipe things [03:00] blkid | pastebinit ericy [03:00] Thedemon007: OK, the last pastebin was output of blkid command. Show me sfdisk -l with your 4GB usb stick plugged in. [03:01] Thedemon007: OK, the last pastebin was output of blkid command. Show me sfdisk -l with your 4GB usb stick plugged in. [03:01] jrtayloriv, yes, there's many alternatives for you [03:01] Aginor, What would be the easiest way for me to just make an ISO image? [03:01] I think I am only going to use one partition unless there is a better option. I do plan on copying web pages from the Server 2003 install over to Ubuntu and vice versa. [03:01] sfdisk -l no show nothing [03:01] jrtayloriv, but you will most likely end up dumping the entire disk/filesystem to a file [03:01] sfdisk -l no show nothing ericy [03:02] Aginor, That's fine with me, as long as I can create a mountable ISO image from it. [03:02] Thedemon007: sudo sfdisk -l [03:02] jrtayloriv, proper ISO file system or a general disk image? [03:02] i want to install usplash. i cant do it from terminal, and synaptic suggests that i remove ALL of my packages first [03:02] Thedemon007: Run the command: sudo sfdisk -l [03:02] jrtayloriv, are you getting read errors from the disk? [03:02] Aginor, that is something i fear doing but I think I have it. I am planning on installing on the only drive not showing NTFS. [03:02] http://pastebin.com/v4gCjZGF ericy [03:03] exit [03:03] futr_vision, if you want to be certain, unplug the other drives :D [03:03] Aginor, Yes, if "Buffer I/O error" is what you mean: --> http://pastebin.com/6pmVJXFG [03:03] aginor, I guess that is a pretty full proof way of doing it [03:04] Thedemon007: See the /dev/sdd1 , that is what you should mount... [03:04] how can i install usplash without removing all of my packages [03:04] futr_vision, that's what I do on the rare occasions I need to install windows. windows have eaten too many of my partitions for me to even let it touch my real OS [03:04] Thedemon007: .. but tell me what you have installed on it ? [03:04] jrtayloriv, that looks like an unhappy disk :D [03:04] i have a question, is any one can help. i use tcpdump to get [03:05] Am I going to be able to share files between Server 2003 and Ubuntu? [03:06] why can't i sudo aptitude install lekhonee-gnome in ubuntu 10.10 [03:06] i have a question , is any one can help. i use tcpdump to get dns packet, but i only can get response packet, no query packet [03:06] Aginor, Do you have any idea why I would have been able to get it to mount once though? [03:06] jrtayloriv, I would recommend that you try to use ddrescue http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html on the relevant partition of your device [03:06] noob sudo [03:06] is anyone knows why [03:06] i'm running 2.6.32-28-generic... how can i find out if my SATA hard drives are hot-swappable? [03:06] I have a quick question. If I have two volumes on my hard disk and have windows 7 on one and ubuntu on the other, what is the best way to remove ubuntu? [03:06] Aginor, OK -- I'll look into that. Thanks for your help. [03:06] noob: sudo aptitude install [03:06] jrtayloriv, if it's a cd, you might have a dirty laser in the device, the cd or dvd might be dirty/scratched [03:07] soul, sudo aptitude install lekhonee-gnome umet deps [03:07] jrtayloriv, you could try to carefully wipe it off with a microfiber cloth, from the centre and out, not in circles [03:07] ericy i believe what is a problem of kernel i compiled my kernel [03:07] Aginor, The CD is brand new, no scratches. I just got it in the mail. I'll try to take out the CD drive and clean it out. [03:07] noob: you must configure ur depostories [03:08] jrtayloriv, have you tried it in a different cd? [03:08] Thedemon007: Oh, yes I remember you discuss it with another person.. [03:08] how can i install a usplash theme without usplash installed? [03:08] jrtayloriv, try a different drive first, is my recommendation [03:09] Thedemon007: ...but can you (or do you want to) try another usb stick ? [03:09] Aginor -- Actually, I just had a brain fart. It's happening on two different laptops, so it's unlikely to be the disk drive. [03:09] It's probably a corrupt CD. Which would make sense that Gateway would send me one, considering how crappy their hardware is. [03:09] It's only fitting that their software is the same quality as my laptop. [03:09] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581876/ my cofig file ericy [03:10] yes i can [03:10] yes i can ericy [03:10] jrtayloriv, it might have some nasty copy protection on it that confuses the operating systems as well [03:10] what's the difference between *-desktop-* and *-alternative-* releases? [03:10] jrtayloriv, but dodgy cd sounds like a good theory :) [03:11] Aginor, I'll try ddrescue and come back and whine some more if that doesn't work :) thanks again. [03:11] nsh: alternive is not as packed as Desktop veriosns [03:11] *alternate [03:11] i believe is this i have # CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437 is not set [03:11] hmm [03:11] nsh: its more "light" [03:11] Thedemon007: Your last pastebin (581876), I saw already, but its too complicated for me. [03:11] oh, ok [03:11] text install nsh_ [03:11] jrtayloriv, it'll take long and you probably have to run it several times, so you have been warned [03:11] is not more light, installs the same soul [03:12] (they're the same approx size) [03:12] xangua... so what is the difference tehn? [03:12] soul: text install....said it twice [03:12] alternative is text install, desktop is gui === cyberpunk is now known as Guest27526 [03:12] xangua: gotcha... learned something new [03:12] thanks [03:12] oh ok [03:12] Thedemon007: Do you have Ubuntu installed on the 4 GB usb stick? (PS: Right now I am running Lubuntu 'Live-CD' on a 4GB usb stick.) [03:12] so it doesn't matter really [03:13] ericy i need reboot i install kernel 2.6.35-27 [03:13] OK. See you later. [03:13] and will wubi blow up if i rename *alternate* to *desktop* because it doesn't seem to care that i have the former locally [03:13] assume not [03:13] Thedemon007: OK. See you later. [03:14] bye [03:14] what in Ubuntu's livecd causes a "Desktop" folder to be created in the livecd desktop user's home folder? [03:14] nsh_: i preffer a real install [03:15] me too, but i cba to go find a stick/dvd [03:15] will redo it when i get back home :) [03:15] aroman: An act of God, I suppose. [03:15] .. [03:15] 13 hour coach journey tomorrow, would rather be messing around in linux than windows :) [03:16] Hello [03:16] aroman: do you prefer to use the user's home folder for desktop? there is a setting in gconf-editor for that, methinks. [03:16] nsh_: If your coach is a B-747, you can be in Tokyo by tommorrow! [03:16] hello everyone. how can i add this manually on repo [03:17] joshmclvl1: I have already set the two gconf keys for nautilus that I'm aware of to do that. I also set XDG's user directory defaults to not include the desktop [03:17] ppa:ubuntu-on-rails/ppa [03:17] ericy, inspiring... ;) [03:17] and in fact, when `adduser`ing, the new user has no Desktop folder. [03:17] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-on-rails/ppa [03:17] aroman: interesting. [03:17] memorygap0: [03:17] it would seem that SOMETHING is causing the Desktop folder to be created [03:17] xangua: i get command not found [03:18] memorygap0: what version of ubuntu are you using¿ [03:18] when using 2 monitors is there a way to switch monitor 1's workspace with out switching #2's? [03:18] yes [03:18] xangua:how can i check the version [03:18] Zelozelos [03:18] joshmclvl1: yeah, it's very strange. I'd be happy removing it by hand when the live environment runs, but I don't know how I can reliably do that [03:18] Hmm. Quit my install of Ubuntu, pulled the USB to disconnect Server 2003 and WinXP drives. Pulled the USB drive I am installing from as well. Get and error. Plug in the Server 2003 and WindXP drives and it won't boot into those systems. Did i screw something up? [03:18] open System>Preferences>monitor [03:18] ericy kernel kernel 6.2.1935-27 work well the pendrive is very possible that I have compiled the kernel wrong [03:18] aroman: Like I said, act of God.. [03:18] lsb_release -a memorygap0 [03:19] Thedemon007: I see.. [03:19] aff sorry kernel 2.6.35-27 [03:19] which formats of images will grub bootloader accept? [03:19] hi, i wrote this script ( http://pastie.org/1685010 ) however it passes both those commands to the correct area, my only thing is I would like it to pass those first two commands to that log file 10 times, but after the tenth time remove the first time it logged and replace it with the eleventh log, second replaced with 12th log, and so forth. any way to do this? [03:19] only tga or does it support more? [03:20] ruan: tga, png [03:20] xangua: ubuntu 9.04 [03:20] needlez,facepalm [03:20] memorygap0: upgrade to a stable and supported version [03:20] jimmy_birer: why? [03:20] 9.04 is no longer supported [03:20] why not | instead of >>? [03:20] xangua: im using andlinux on xp [03:20] needlez: anything else? [03:21] jimmy_birer: he doesn't want |. [03:21] I am running Ubuntu server. It sees the Internet fine (can ping www.whitehouse.gov). Sources.list looks quite like the one on my desktop Ubuntu system. But when I run aptitude, it shows only "obsolete and locally created packages" and "virtual packages". Is this normal? [03:21] jimmy_birer, theres no option 2 do that am i missing something? [03:21] it's redirecting stdout [03:21] xangua: just to play with linux envi [03:22] xangua: can i add that manuality on source list? [03:22] jimmy_birer: um do realize that my command is to add both those to the same log file, how could I do that with pipe last time it just pipped one command to the log file not both [03:22] wjw,ahahahahah [03:22] the config file of 2.6.35-27 http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581908/ [03:22] give us the sources.list [03:22] and tell us the system version [03:23] !prayer | ericy [03:23] ericy: Dear $DEITY, Give me strength to understand and work with users who question my logic, the rules, netiquette, and common sense.

[03:24] speedrunnerG55, were you getting a black screen before? [03:24] speedrunnerG55,is that a surprise for you? [03:24] a white screen [03:24] ubottu: In alphabetical order, are you android, bot, clone, robot or human?

[03:24] i was able to hear the videos and tnot see them for 2 weeks now [03:24] hola all [03:25] i put in a grafics card [03:25] and enabled visual effects [03:25] on a triple boot sytem what device do you use for the boot loader? [03:25] i dont know if it just updated [03:25] futr_vision, same as you would use for a dual boot [03:25] i hope this bootimage works [03:25] because i aLSO INSTALLED UPDATES [03:25] im thinking about porting ubuntu to same440p [03:25] ops caps [03:25] by acube [03:26] sam440ep* [03:26] abstrakt, which one is that? I've got XP and Server 2003 installed. [03:26] glad there's a big group in here tonight....anyone good with bizarre problems? heheh [03:27] futr_vision, well I'm not sure how that is managed, you'll have to read the manual [03:27] jimmy_birer sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/581909/ [03:27] jimmy_birer How do I get the sys version? [03:27] futr_vision, specifically you should read the manual regarding making a dual boot with two systems that are not both microsoft based, i.e. one MS and one Linux based [03:27] futr_vision, because you will most likely need to use a different boot loader, but it's still gonna go in basically the same place which is the MBR (master boot record) [03:27] futr_vision, http://gog.is/windows/ubuntu/dual/boot [03:28] wjw [03:28] tell us which [03:28] 9.04 [03:28] 10.10 [03:28] jimmy_birer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:28] or what [03:28] NikkiGrrl: I certainly think so (but its not me). [03:28] 中国 [03:28] ahhh, thank you ericy [03:28] abstrakt, thanks. i was hoping i wouldn't have to do any reading beyind this chat :0 [03:28] wjw,are you using lucid? [03:28] jimmy_birer Ubuntu 10.04.1 server [03:28] NikkiGrrl: What are you running and running into? === lance_ is now known as Guest41970 [03:29] futr_vision, here I'll make it easy for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [03:29] wjw....upgrade to 10.10 [03:29] By downloading the CD image? [03:29] no [03:29] ericy : attempting to install onto an older thin client motherboard....it's definitely x86 based, but so far, any Ubuntu OS installed hangs at the login screen.....hard system halt, nothing in logs at all [03:30] wjw,enter in terminal=> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:30] abstrakt, thanks. Already found that. [03:30] NikkiGrrl: Mmm.. [03:30] I have tried Ubuntu 10.04, Xubuntu 10.04, and even Ubuntu server 10.04 ....10.10 LiveCD insists the machine is not i386 compatible, but I know better, heh [03:30] wjw: Ignore what jimmy_birer's saying, they're being odd. [03:30] ok i set the bootsplash image but it doesn't show the image when i boot [03:30] wjw: Try "sudo apt-get update", it sounds like the package list isn't up to date and that will fix it. [03:31] rww,which better? [03:31] does the image have to be the same resolution as the screen? [03:31] no [03:31] Neither command did anything. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [03:31] NikkiGrrl: Maybe you should do a hardware diagnostic, like the memtest. [03:32] hi [03:32] wjw: aptitude still says all packages are locally-installed? [03:32] !seen pure_hate [03:32] I have no seen command [03:32] Wonderful idea, ericy, which I already tried. All 512MB of onboard RAM are ok....and during the couple seconds I could get the machine running in command-line-only, top even said I have RAM free [03:32] rww, yes. [03:32] we're on the right track, though [03:32] i downloaded eternal ladns. and marked it as executable. from terminal if i run ./file.bin it runs but i added same address to applicatioon menu manualy and it dont rum. how to add that menu? [03:32] help [03:32] is there a ubuntu channel on here for ubuntu on mac computers ? [03:32] NikkiFrrl: do you have it booting in IDE or ACHI? [03:33] ahh it can read jpg/jpeg as well. [03:33] NikkiGrrl: Wow.. [03:33] !mac | jont2383 [03:33] jont2383: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [03:33] wjw: Can you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy ubuntu-minimal", please? [03:33] jont2383, ask here only [03:33] Only IDE, soul ....the device is 10+ yrs old [03:33] rww,you are digging too deep son. [03:33] k-i-s-s. [03:33] remember the principle? [03:33] NikkiGrrl: [03:33] hola rww [03:33] ahhh so this is the open general topic channel ? [03:33] NikkiGrrl: maybe bios update lol? [03:33] hi hiexpo [03:34] NikkiGrrl: What did you install last, Xubuntu? [03:34] no such thing, sadly, soul ....we're discussing a thin client [03:34] xubuntu is just ubuntu with xfce [03:34] Hmmm. Dual boot doc not terribly helpful. Boot loader should go on the drive where I installed the first OS? [03:34] ... [03:34] i downloaded eternal ladns. and marked it as executable. from terminal if i run ./file.bin it runs but i added same address to applicatioon menu manualy and it dont rum. how to add that menu? [03:34] tried Xubuntu....had read on forums some people had better luck with it, but again, hangs shortly after GDM comes up [03:34] GDM comes up....can move mouse around, almost type in username and pass, suddenly....halt [03:34] jont2383, yup [03:35] NikkiGrrl: What about trying Puppy, thats nice and small? [03:35] that's the kicker....Puppy works A+.....so it's apparently a kernel issue [03:35] rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/581911/ [03:35] Puppy won't exactly do what I need with the system, however....thus my attempt to migrate it to Ubuntu [03:35] NikkiGrrl: ooooh gotcha [03:35] Ubuntu loves all my other machines, and I love it right back, heh [03:36] wjw: Thanks. Can I get the output from "sudo apt-get update" too? [03:37] I guess a good question is this....is there a ....stripped down kernel for Ubuntu....for older machines? I can remove the hard drive and force it on there if there is one [03:37] NikkiGrrl,you just can run ubuntu server [03:37] 64 mb ram it requires [03:37] rww, Hmm, now it's doing things. [03:37] then install some X with fluxbox [03:37] no, I can't jimmy_birer ....it does the SAME THING [03:37] How do I keep cairo doc from loading on boot.. I'm getting one instance on the non-opengl and the opengl version at the same time [03:37] hangs some seconds after console log in prompt, instead of GDM, of course [03:37] well then throw that computer away [03:37] NikkiGrrl, which ubuntu you trying [03:37] get over it [03:38] no no no wait [03:38] jimmy_birer, I came here because that and this are the only computers I can AFFORD, thus my usage of Ubuntu [03:38] NikkiGrrl,what computer you have? [03:38] ok ok [03:38] what computer [03:38] ? [03:38] jimmy_birer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:38] i am looking for someone who has installed ubuntu on a powermac g5 ppc [03:38] as I said before, it's a thin client, 10+ yrs old.... 800MHz, 512MB RAM ....VIA processor and chipset [03:39] rww, btw my intent is to get the Xubuntu desktop. I thought I'd save bandwitdth by starting with a server CD I already had. [03:39] NikkiGrrl, lubuntu [03:39] NikkiGrrl,get crunchbang [03:39] lubuntu, hiexpo ? I will look into it, thank you [03:39] NikkiGrrl, np [03:39] lubuntu might give you the same problem [03:39] try an LTS release. [03:39] 10.04, see if that hangs. [03:39] jimmy....I have tried crunch and Puppy, both work, but neither even let you run outside Root, so they're basically useless === root is now known as Guest69991 [03:39] if it doesn't, you know it might definitely be kernel related. [03:40] Belial`, the various 10.04 flavors, (standard, Xubuntu, and server) are what I HAVE been trying, and yes, all three hang, leading me, as I have already stated, to suspect the kernel [03:40] cls_1231 [03:40] ah, well then give 10.10 a shot [03:40] nikkigirl,did you know that there`s this invention called ADDUSER!!! [03:40] Belial`, nah less ram no gdm like ubuntu gnome orkde thats why it was made minimal with lxde [03:40] I'm afraid 10.10 is worse....it insists the machine is not i386 [03:40] hmm [03:40] NikkiGrrl,yeah it is [03:41] every release has more kernel modules than previous [03:41] what you expect [03:41] jimmy, how do you add user to something like Puppy, which runs from a read only CD? [03:41] the adduser command? [03:41] rww, I think you have solved my problem, although I don't understand what the cause was and how you addressed it. [03:41] hi i want to set path to an executable other than at bashrc file..i dont want fill my bashrc with so many lines.. is there any other process to specify path [03:41] NikkiGrrl: Ubuntu 10.10 and higher require fully-i686 compatible processors. Several older VIA x86 processors aren't, which is why that's happening. [03:41] and then when you power off, jimmy, you're back where you started [03:41] thank you rww!! now we're getting somewhere!! [03:41] adduser again [03:41] same to hiexpo as well [03:41] isnt that hard [03:42] puupy runs of ram once booted you can remove the cd > or usb [03:42] one thing i dont understand is that Peppermint gets my broadcom wireless working via additional drivers, but after countless triess I still have no wireless when running Ubuntu. [03:42] does 10.04 require 586+ or 686+ as well? [03:42] yeah [03:42] !lubuntu | NikkiGrrl [03:42] NikkiGrrl: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [03:42] lubuntu is useless too [03:42] how can Peppermint have fixed this issue, and not Cannonical ?? [03:42] NikkiGrrl,maybe try debian live cd === tarun_ is now known as c2tarun [03:43] !broadcom [03:43] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:43] wjw: Alrighty. Your problem was that your computer didn't have a list of packages available from the repository servers. The usual reason for that happening is 1) the computer is new and hasn't contacted the server at all yet, 2) you made major changes to sources.list. "sudo apt-get update" connects to the servers and downloads a packages list. [03:43] wjw,ping us.ubuntu.com [03:43] and tell us if it works [03:43] jimmy_birer: Their problem's fixed. [03:43] ok ok [03:43] @jimmy : the reason I am still not using Puppy or crunchbang is due to being unwilling to install all my packages at every reboot....that said, you say ALL Ubuntu derivatives will require 686+? [03:44] rww, and jimmy_birer, thanks! [03:44] How do I keep cairo doc from loading on boot.. I'm getting one instance on the non-opengl and the opengl version at the same time [03:44] if so, can I not perhaps use a 386 kernel from Debian or elsewhere? [03:44] wjw: aptitude assumes that any package it can't match to a package list was installed from a .deb or obsolete (removed from the repositories), but in this case it was just that it didn't have any package lists to match against. [03:44] no problem wjw [03:44] NikkiGrrl,debian 5.0 has 386 support [03:44] rww, so the update is kind of key with a newly installed old system. [03:44] also debian supports many many more arhitectures [03:44] deepu: Try using alias command OR make a scritpt file. [03:44] Where do you install the boot loader on a triple boot system (3 hard drives) [03:44] ok....looks like I might have to go straight-Deb.....thanks gang. I'll let you know how it goes!! [03:44] cheers! [03:45] cheers son [03:45] wjw: yep. On desktop systems, it tends to get done by Update Manager before the user tries to install packages. Server runs across this problem more often. [03:45] bootscreen image still wont work :/ [03:45] for Lucid users such as myself, I highly recomend this site for upgrading the repos... http://theindexer.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-10-04-aka-lucid-lynx/ good stuff! [03:45] I'm installing Xubuntu. [03:45] looking for someone who has installed ubuntu on a powermac g5 PPC [03:46] NikkiGrrl: jimmy_birer: hiexpo: As we speak right now, I'm running on Lubuntu live-cd in a 4GB usb memory stick. [03:46] !ppc | jont2383 [03:46] jont2383: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [03:46] What's cool is I'm doing it over ssh from my machine running Ubuntu, so I don't have to keep leaping out of my chair and into the one in front of the other computer. [03:46] jont2383: You may want to just ask your question and see if anyone comes out of the woodwork. [03:46] soul, not a good idea to recomend people changing there repos [03:47] rww lol i just want to know if someone has successfully installed ubuntu on a powermac g5 ppc lol [03:47] hiexpo: why not? too easy to get messed up I guess? [03:48] yep soul and this is ubuntu support not off channel support to change there repos [03:48] hiexpo: gotcha, that makes perfect sense to me [03:48] jont2383: I've seen Ubuntu on someone else's iMac G5, so yes. [03:48] thats it, i'm trying to decide if i should try it out on my main hd which i cant restore if the ubuntu dosent work... or go buy a new hd and try that [03:49] jont2383: Unless the compatibility's gotten better since about hardy, though, it's kind of a pain (I tried it and gave up after a couple of hours because I didn't care that much and was just curious) [03:49] rww : do you know how well it worked compatability wise with software etc [03:49] jont2383,powermac g5 is good [03:49] i had a g5 emulator [03:49] hiexpo: but I will say this, that site can help them peice back their repo's, only reason why I mentioned it... my repos were messed up and that got me going back smoothe, so really it could be ubuntu support too :) [03:49] and it worked fine [03:49] jont2383, have you tryed the live cd if it works ok live it will work installed [03:50] jont2383: In general, PPC compatibility is reasonable. You don't get non-free software (Flash being the one people care about) unless it comes in a PPC version, but almost all of the free software stuff in the repositories is there. [03:50] yeah i have this amazing 16gb ram dual quad core PPC dual 1gb nvidia cards but it wont run any new mac osx software so i want to turn it into a nasty fast linux desktop server [03:50] Yay, here comes abiword. [03:51] 16 gb ram? [03:51] i wold write a new os [03:51] to have that machine [03:51] !yay | wjw [03:51] wjw: Glad you made it! :-) [03:51] !yay WomanTheSandwich [03:51] I have a 16 MiB machine that runs some old linux. [03:51] damn small linux? [03:52] !yay | WomanTheSandwich [03:52] WomanTheSandwich: Glad you made it! :-) [03:52] she made it [03:52] Can't remember what the distro was called. It came with the machine. [03:52] jimmy_birer: It seems like you might like #ubuntu-offtopic. [03:52] A computer I played with in school had only 8 KiB and no disk. [03:52] i run damn small linux on my 10 year old ibm laptop lol [03:52] i joined it now [03:53] I programmed it in RPG-II. The compiler consisted of three very long decks of cards. [03:53] Mee too. [03:53] well.. i tried sta, b43, and ndiswrapper. ubuntu 10.10 refuses to see the broadcom wireless hardware. [03:53] i uploaded linux on a humax satellite receiver [03:53] it works fine [03:53] i can use ls,cd,touch [03:54] jimmy_birer : lol thats awesome [03:54] and assembler [03:54] ubuntu 10.04 DID see It, but i ditched 10.04 because I was using wubi back then, and It was a bad setup [03:54] thnx [03:54] i had so many frustrations with wubi [03:54] Peppermint has no problem seing the hardware. [03:54] i would download the iso [03:54] mount it virtually [03:54] Hoping abiword works well; openoffice.org crashes. === Guest70220 is now known as DarkDevil [03:54] and the sucker would download the iso again [03:55] but ubuntu 10.10 additional drivers recognises nothing [03:55] i use Freebsd for my satellite tracking dish [03:55] my hammer has unix 07 inside === DarkDevil is now known as Guest41534 [03:55] Witty comments to #ubuntu-offtopic, please :( [03:55] ok [03:56] i installed ubuntu in my battery operated drill.... the drill never crashed now [03:56] jont2383: you too ;P [03:56] for additional drivers i only see software modem and nvidia driver. no b43, sta or else. [03:56] rww : sorry i just hit send when you typed that [03:56] so in other words, the only reason car crashes happen all the time, is because they have windows? [03:57] Da|Mummy, heh [03:57] ===00= [03:57] Da|Mummy,Linux is like having a car with steel windows [03:57] (keeping mouth shut) tons of witty responses to the windows remark hahah [03:58] going to throw them out in #offtopic [03:58] rofl [03:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx is useless as long as ubuntu 10.10 cant see the hardware at all. [03:58] landingonwate,are you using dell inspiron 1525? [03:59] jimmy_birer: even worse.. the HP lx1000 [04:00] * jimmy_birer hides himself in the bushes and laughs while farting [04:00] jimmy_birer: vista sees the wireless, and ubuntu 10.04 and peppermint. ubuntu 10.10 sess no card, and nothing turns up in additional drivers [04:00] * rww redirects jimmy_birer to #ubuntu-offtopic again [04:00] ok sorry [04:01] my laptop isnt recognizing any cds... I changed the boot order in the bios to boot from cd first, and it still completely skips the install cd that I have in there when I boot... how can I reformat my laptop without a cd? [04:02] battlehands: why not install using USB [04:03] battlehands: Did you double check to make sure its still set to boot cd first? [04:03] battlehands,i used an old modem cable [04:03] wrote a socket in python [04:03] and transffered the files [04:03] to a ext3 filesystem [04:04] landingonwater_, I need to reformat quickly. Can I DL the iso and set it up on a flashdrive quickly? [04:04] jimmy_birer: If the card is not seen by ubuntu 10.10, the what good is software ? there must be some hickup in 10.10 resulting in this problem. can i copy some stuff directly from peppermint to fix It ? [04:04] soreau, yes, and its not even recognizing any CDs that are inserted. [04:05] battlehands: use pendrive to put ubuntu on the stick. install from there. pretty fast procedure. [04:05] battlehands: Sounds like a problem with the cdrom drive then [04:05] battlehands: you can setup the usb stick on linux as well. but i forgot the procedure. [04:06] landingonwater_, how do I put ubuntu on pendrive? [04:06] battlehands: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [04:07] battlehands: download ubuntu. whatever flavor. install pendrives usb installer. [04:08] landingonwater_, can I reformat my computer with this pendrive? [04:08] battlehands: yes you can. use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ to install ubuntu on the stick. the install from the stick [04:09] How do I set the disk path in vmbuilder [04:09] battlehands: installing from the stick let you create dualboot, or start from scratch. [04:10] landingonwater_, I just want to start from scratch [04:10] battlehands: casper partition does take som time, so if you dont wanna use the stick for anything else dont go for 4 gb casper. [04:11] battlehands: well.. always useful to have a ubuntu on USB. but go for It. I did It twice. no problems. [04:11] landingonwater_, thanks [04:11] hmm. damn.. I wish my broadcom would work. [04:12] <_Platypus_> The last laptop I had had a Broadcom, and it was the most nightmarish device I've ever configured. [04:13] _Platypus_: how did you solve It ? same problem with card not being recognized ????

[04:14] _Platypus_: well.. thanks for discouraging me further :D [04:14] <_Platypus_> landingonwater: I think I had to do the whole ndiswrapper (?) thing, but it's been so long...haven't had that laptop in over 2 years. [04:14] can someone help me with firefox? - im having issues going to pogo.com - it keeps telling me i have to install java, but- i have already installed java.. what am i missing? === jh is now known as Guest47035 [04:15] ! java | marie [04:15] marie: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [04:15] _Platypus_: aah.. okay. I see. well.. I tried ndiswrapper as well. but its not seing the card at all. [04:15] landingonwater_: what card is it? [04:16] I want to use qt4-archiver on a live CD, but it asks for a sudo password for "ubuntuuser", but I do not know the password. [04:16] soreau, maverick-multiverse ? [04:16] soreau: driver is bcmwl5.inf [04:16] <_Platypus_> landingonwater: I apologize I can't be of more assistance to you man. It's also why I won't ever buy anything with a Broadcom.

That link that ubottu suggested is how I remember fixing my Broadcom! [04:17] or otherwise turn it on [04:18] soreau, nvm- followed the link [04:18] how should i turn off my harddisk using hdparm, after 2 hours? [04:18] soreau: thing is that Peppermint shows additional driver for the card, and It works just fine there. Ubuntu sess nothing. and i fint that strange since Peppermint is based on Ubuntu. [04:19] soreau: can you explain that ? enable in bios ? but peppermint, vista and ubuntu 10.04 could see the broadcom card ?? [04:19] Hi. I just installed Ubuntu on my desktop PC, but Grub won't boot and drops me to a rescue prompt. I have a feeling it's because I installed on an nvidia raid array. Right now I've booted with a live cd and run this boot info script, but I'm not sure what to do next. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. [04:20] GeneralK: what does grub report as an error? [04:20] ruan: file not found [04:20] I have never choosen a password for qt4-fsarchiver and still it asks me for one. What could be the reason or what should I do to solve the problem with qt4-fsarchiver on Live-CD? [04:20] GeneralK: do you remember which file? [04:21] landingonwater_: You are saying it does not show in lspci? Perhaps some irq conflict? [04:21] Generalk : nvidia HD raid array or graphics server ? [04:21] jont2383: HD raid array [04:21] ruan: I don't think it said anything besides error file not found grub rescue [04:21] soreau: it does not show in lspci. hmm.. irq ?? so.. you are saying It can be fix if its a conflict ? [04:21] landingonwater_: Is it a pci/internal card, not usb/external? [04:22] GeneralK: can you try to reinstall grub? [04:22] soreau: its an internal card. the laptop is a HP Pavilion lx1000 with amd64 turion [04:22] ruan: Maybe. How would I go about it, though? Do I need to mount the drive in the live cd or something? [04:22] !grub2 [04:22] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

The default password is the empty string / blank. I don't know if this helps. [04:33] qt4-fsarchiver wants to have a password for ubuntuuser, but I do not know it. What should I do.

[04:56] battlehands: just fat32 [04:57] battlehands, probally have missing dependencies is why you get that error [04:57] funny enough im fat38 :( [04:57] hi all...I can't even upgrade this is BS...this is what I get Fetched 7029kB in 10s (693kB/s) [04:57] Reading package lists...

If you are going to be doing the whole LFS thing, I highly suggest you do it on a seperate HD or in a VM.

Just a heads up. === lonelyibex is now known as fungo [06:10] how do i enable ssl connections to usenet on ubuntu? [06:10] raido, good advice, I should just concentrate on making a partition though, I have unallocated spaces in my hdd, I was thinking of clubbing them together atleast, I'll do this on an external partition [06:10] DarkSector: Oh, I see you have a total of about 8GB unalloted (from 3 areas). [06:10] ericy, correct, the highlighted one was my swap until recently :D [06:13] DarkSector: You free space in non contiguous, you cant combine them into one partition, you have to use it separately or you can use LVM in linux to use it like its all one space.

But I'm talking about gparted MOVING a 70GB partition ... that's REALLY slow. [06:20] okay, but is that required here ?

Is it possible without separate downloading? [06:39] DarkSector: if you used LVM when setting up your filesystems, you can allocate that spare 5G, if you didn't... it can't really be done [06:39] (not elegantly) [06:39] ejv, LVM ? [06:39] researcher1: they will be different versions [06:39] logical volume management === PicCard is now known as PicCard_Away [06:40] ejv, I just used ubuntu's default partition manager, I don't remember if I used LVM [06:40] you would know if you did because it's a more advanced configuration, so you probably didn't [06:41] raido: but will the same programs be accessible to Lynx 10.04 if I dontwant to download . Downloading will take too long a time [06:41] plus the desktop/live CD doesn't support partitioning as LVM [06:41] ejv, probably, its wierd though, I can allocated this in Windows [06:41] rww, gotcha [06:41] is there a way to prevent gnomes desktop going to a locked screen while rhythmBox is playing? [06:41] researcher1: You wouldnt what to do that, the packages will break things because many of them will be different versions. [06:42] it's maddening leaving it for a few minutes and having to enter my p/w to sip a song. [06:42] Hi, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and need to keep unfortunately windows in virtual machine. My question is, it is possible to get my ubuntu compromised while running windows in virtual box?(but not having wine installed). [06:42] rww, didn't know what, only used ubuntu server, darksector, what you could try doing is rsyncing or dding 'large' portions of your OS to the spare space, stuff like /var, /tmp, /opt tends to be heavier, and then adjust your mounting scheme in /etc/fstab accordingly, YMMV. [06:42] DarkSector: You have to gparted "resize"--shift that big 73GB partition which will take MANY hours (it will have to move or shift 73 GB of data 'up'). [06:42] ejv, good option [06:42] raido: ok.Lomg downloads seems unavoidable for 10.04 saperately [06:42] ericy, hmm, not an option [06:42] I should try doing this from windows [06:42] . [06:43] pythoned: possible, of course. likely? not so much. [06:43] researcher1: If you upgrade to 10.04 to 10.10, then you can do it, because you will have 2 10.10 installs. Then in the future you can save by only downloading once [06:44] raido: presently Im on 10.10 can I downgrade to 10.04? [06:44] researcher1, no [06:44] no, and even if you could, it wouldn't be recommended at all. [06:45] !downgrade > researcher1 [06:45] researcher1, please see my private message [06:45] then to have all earlier applications of 10.10 available on 10.04 will require doing what? [06:45] what? [06:45] researcher1, such as what apps [06:46] ejv, And another thing, is it possible to get my router infected if let's say I have an infected machine that connects to the router? I'm talking about it's firmware.. [06:46] GIS,GRASS,Scilab, octave, Qcad almost all my engineering application which need long time to download [06:47] also kile,latex,gcompiz, etc [06:47] doesn't ubuntu store the binaries in a local cache somewhere [06:47] why not copy them to a usb stick or something... [06:48] ejv: Because he has packages for one version that he wants to use on another. Not reccomended [06:48] is there a reminder in tasque ? === safeWay is now known as dejan_ [06:48] why is my Core i7 ubuntu server have a i686 kernel? [06:48] can i convert this? [06:49] I have probems watching videos in the browser [06:49] like a pop up or some sort of alert [06:49] tonnez: no. you need to reinstall the entire OS [06:49] i did some command guy here told me and since then i have problems [06:49] raido: ah, im late to the conversation apparently. [06:49] yes hello does the latest ubuntu have support for MSI installers [06:49] tonnez: if it's working you could just enable PAE and not break something that's fixed :p [06:50] tonnez: because you installed Ubuntu 32-bit. You can't go from 32-bit to 64-bit without a reinstall. [06:50] ejv: np, technically its possible but all the stuff he has there is bound to have newer packages [06:50] it's prolly hit or miss with unknown scientific/academic software *shrug* [06:50] i had problems when I watched videos in fullscreen they had white flshes so one guy here on #ubuntu told me to execute terminal command and fter that sometimes I can watch videos in browser but sometimes no [06:50] Leakin, It will never have such things, google for "WINEHQ" [06:50] ejv, rrw: 2.6.35-25-generic (SMP) i686 [06:50] i'm assuming that is not good for i7 [06:50] how do i enable PAE? [06:51] apache will not benefit from PAE will it? [06:51] tonnez, install linux-generic-pae [06:51] tonnez: do you want PAE to access more ram? [06:51] would require compiling a new kernel if your memory isn't already fully addressed, or using a precompiled image [06:51] pythoned what if we petition the developers to include MSI support [06:51] for easier microsoft integration [06:51] Leakin, MSI is proprietary... [06:51] raido: my server only has 4gb [06:51] i think tonnez doesn't know what PAE is.. lol [06:51] !brainstorm > Leakin [06:51] Leakin, please see my private message [06:52] Leakin: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, not your personal amusement. Find somewhere else to troll. [06:52] tonnez: why do you think yo need it [06:52] any help? [06:52] raido: im just trying to figure out if apache will benefit [06:52] pae = physical address extension [06:52] i.e. 64bit [06:52] tonnez: no, it wont. [06:52] okay, then i guess i don't need it ;) [06:52] pae != 64bit [06:52] thanks :) [06:52] tonnez: you dont need it. [06:53] ejv: there are PAE 32bit kernels [06:53] i know [06:53] oh pae is only for 4gb> [06:53] i see [06:53] im just saying that calling a memory allocation extension feature '64bit' is awfully negligent [06:54] ejv: gotcha [06:54] I have probems watching videos in the browser [06:54] i did some command guy here told me and since then i have problems [06:54] i had problems when I watched videos in fullscreen they had white flshes so one guy here on #ubuntu told me to execute terminal command and fter that sometimes I can watch videos in browser but sometimes no [06:54] dejan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:54] how can I create an alias of a folder and place it inside of /var/www/ ? [06:54] ejv: no need to flame the ignorant [06:55] Aquaguy: man ln [06:55] not flaming, educating. [06:55] ejv: some people take offense at being educated [06:55] or 'edecated' [06:56] ejv: wikipedia educated me, you said the following: "i think tonnez doesn't know what PAE is.. lol" and "pae != 64bit" and "...calling a memory allocation extension feature '64bit' is awfully negligent" [06:56] why you dont help me? [06:56] airtonix: ^ [06:56] * tonnez sighs [06:56] i doubt you'll see any noticeable performance gain moving to x86_64 from i686, it's likely more hassle than it's worth === Guest6602 is now known as DarkDevil === bxl4074 is now known as spivoler === Amaranth__ is now known as Amaranth === DarkDevil is now known as Guest2584 [06:57] dejan_: relax friend, I suggest you make sure you have the flashplugin installed rather that the gnash plugin [06:57] airtonix, thank you, worked like a charm [06:57] browser evenn cant load pges with videos [06:58] now if you had 32gb of available addresable space, I wouldn't recommend PAE because of the overhead, that's when a 64bit change would be a worthwhile ordeal. [06:58] it loads them veeeery slow [06:58] Rains: how to check === cnegrete is now known as NuttyBunny [06:59] Aquaguy: the other way you can do it is to use the --bind function of mount ( which overcomes limitations imposed by soft symlinks) [07:00] Aquaguy: or you could rebase the /var/www (and it's associated /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default to have a document root of /var/www/default/public_html/, then put your new content at /var/www/VIRTUALHOSTNAME/public_html/ and create a name based vhost def file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/VIRTUALHOSTNAME [07:01] Aquaguy: depends on what you want to achieve really [07:02] Rains: how to check [07:05] I have downloaded all the files at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/nux/trunk/files/head:/examples/ and am now trying to compile.

I thought it was /etc/ but when I gedit it it's blank [07:14] Greetings [07:14] Hi. Am I correct in that newer Ubuntu versions don't support floppy disks out of the box, and to get support for them, one would need to manually install the fdutils package? [07:14] <_antant> hi [07:14] How can I find out what wireless adapter model I'm using? [07:15] I have installed a theme for ubuntu , and I would like to copy that theme for others users , which directory do I have to copy ? [07:15] yurimxpxman: should be listed in lshw [07:16] <_antant> Hey Cork. Should my smb.conf not be in /etc/ ? [07:17] alkisg: Im pretty sure you will have floppy support on a default install [07:17] How is the mouse controlled in linux? (I need to know so I can attempt to write a script that will control it with the arrow keys, thank you in advance, and if this already exists I'd be happy to use it.) [07:17] <_antant> service is running fine, but I need to wiggle around some valid/invalid users [07:17] <_antant> and it seems to have fled [07:17] raido: on some cases I didn't have /dev/fd0, and I needed to `modprobe floppy` to get those. But I'm not sure in which cases that happens. [07:17] _antant: /etc/samba/ [07:18] <_antant> doh [07:18] alkisg: Prolly, in those cases the floppy kernel module was blacklisted by default. [07:19] raido: but when does this happen? Does ubiquity blacklist it, based on floppy availability upon installation? [07:19] alkisg: IDK [07:19] raido: thank you though [07:19] alkisg: np [07:19] Hello guys. I was wondering if there exist a better driver MacBook touchpad/trackpad than what is set up default on ubuntu? I was trying out Touchégg and creating a file like described here https://code.google.com/p/touchegg/wiki/ConfigureDevices And that actually gave me a "better feeling" trackpad experience - it seemed to respond more like on OS X. No lost selections and failty clicks. I lost multitouch though so i reverted it. [07:20] Anyone able to offer a bit of advice on how to mount an NTFS partition on an gpt partitioned drive? So far I am having no lucj, [07:20] I've got some odd performance issues with OpenGL, Would anyone mind taking a look at this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10569583 [07:20] luck, rather.

[07:23] htop [07:23] raido, It seems to be the type of partition table that Windows 7 uses. [07:23] * raido oops === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [07:25] GeneralK: So you have a ntfs partition that you want to use in Linux [07:25] raido, Yes. According to parted, it's the number 2 partition on /dev/sda [07:26] GeneralK, Does it show up in the Places menu? You want to open the ntfs partition? [07:26] GeneralK: so make a mount point in /media, like "sudo mkdir /media/ntfsdrive" [07:27] MichealH, No, not in the places menu. [07:27] <_antant> ok, how do allow a network user to delete files off a share? [07:28] raido, Yep, done... [07:28] _antant, Im not familiar with Linux networking but I beleive "sudo chmod 777 file.file"can do the trick on the file [07:28] GeneralK: now do "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/ntfsdrive" [07:28] 777 = anyone an read wite delete and excecute === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [07:29] raido, I tried that before... /dev/sda2 does not exist [07:29] You said it was #2 on sda [07:29] Yep [07:30] that is what parted says [07:30] GeneralK: Guess not then [07:30] what does "sudo fdisk -l" say [07:30] Generalk: if you run fdisk -ll how many partition appear? [07:31] qkit, raido : The output is long... what is that website where I can dump the output & give you a url? [07:31] Does anyone know of a good resource that I can use to learn about the linux shell and how to use terminal? [07:31] <_antant> ok, I've made my network user have the main group of the user that owns the folder. That should work, no? [07:32] It should do [07:32] GeneralK: paste.ubuntu.com [07:33] raido, qkit : http://paste.ubuntu.com/581956/ [07:33] <_antant> how about adding create/directory mask = 0770 to my conf? [07:34] ehhhh is there something wrong with ubuntus update servers? I am downloading with ~7 kb/s from it [07:35] Ouch, the wifi here are damn slow.... [07:35] <_antant> Woohoo! That's done it [07:36] Raido, you mange to load the page? i getting timeout here. :( [07:37] GeneralK: You have 4 HDs? [07:38] raido, Well, there are 2 'raid arrays'. The first is made up of 4 and the second is just one 1 tb hdd. [07:39] GeneralK: Is the ntfs partition on a raid volume [07:40] <_antant> Huh. Can I take ownership of my external ntfs drive away from root? [07:42] raido, Well, I think the system might see it as one. Technically it isn't, it's just 1 HD. Check out http://paste.ubuntu.com/581964/ for the output from parted. [07:43] GeneralK: now do "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda /media/ntfsdrive" [07:43] morning [07:44] raido, NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sda': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sda' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? [07:44] I've installed a package with dpkg -i --force-depends yesterday (because i dont need the dependencys (and i dont have em)) - but now, i cant update my system anymore - because of a broken package. Any idea? [07:45] GeneralK: try 1 sda1 [07:45] Hello [07:46] raido, Same as before now... sda1 no such file or directory [07:46] I there any other software for Ubuntu for playing swf beside Gnash player? [07:46] Is [07:46] Softdroid: vlc and mplayer should be able to (not interactivly) play it, else you can watch them in a browser with the adobe flash plugin [07:47] GeneralK: Ok, last try, use /dev/dm-0p1 [07:47] Fuchs: Thanks for your replay. I need a player so I can rewind or forward the movie [07:47] Has anyone here experienced an RSA key change based entirely on an ISP restructure? ie: would an ISP restructure cause a RSA key change over ssh? SSH gives me a warning if the IP changed and the RSA key changed. and this time both have changed. the IP changing is normal. the IP address is dynamic after all... I'm just not sure if I should be worried or not. I realize it's more likely a hardware issue than someone actually being malicious, but I don't want to t [07:48] raido, Yeah, I also tried that before... still the same, does not exist :-/ [07:48] GeneralK: Im lost. Sorry buddy. [07:48] Softdroid: try vlc or mplayer [07:49] Is there an app or a plugin for a media player that will show you the lyrics of the current song playing? For example, Windows Media Player has the option, and so do iPods while something is playing, so is there a pugin or something I could use? Even a separate app dedicated solely to the purpose of showing you a song's lyrics? (I'm using Banshee but others are fine) [07:49] Fuchs: vlc can't play the files. But I will try mplayer. Thanks [07:49] raido, Ah well. Buggered if I know either. Very frustrating :-/ Thanks for trying though. [07:50] GeneralK: np, BTW see this on GPT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table [07:51] GeneralK: how about running this command "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda /media/ntfsdrive" [07:51] cong06: Your key didnt change, there is just a mismatch between the hash for the IP you had before and the one you have now. Just delete the line in ~/.ssh/known_hosts that contains the old IP reference [07:52] qkit, Same response as when we tried before with just the ntfs argument :-/ [07:52] raido: except it's set to warn me only if the IP and the RSA key changed. [07:53] Are you logging in via ssh keys without a password [07:53] raido: or are you saying that the key is based on the ip? that doesn't make any sense because the ip changes constantly, and this is hte first time I saw it. [07:53] yeah. without a password. auto-logging in: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/152 [07:53] cong06: Are you logging in via ssh keys without a password [07:53] ehhhh is there something wrong with ubuntus update servers? I am downloading with ~7 kb/s from it [07:54] Did it log you in after the warning [07:54] no. [07:54] cong06: can you copy the output and paste it [07:55] raido: to the chat? or do you want me to send it to your PM? [07:55] <_antant> Can I set the owner of a mount in fstab? [07:55] cong06: to paste.ubuntu.com [07:55] qkit, It's really annoying. Even in gdisk it is visible as partition 2 on /dev/sda === stephane is now known as Guest94151 [07:56] GeneralK: if you run "sudo blkid /dev/sda2", what you get? [07:56] raido: http://paste.ubuntu.com/581965/ [07:56] qkit, Nothing at all. [07:57] GeneralK: how about run it on /dev/sda ? === Guest2584 is now known as DarkDevil [07:57] ok this might sound dumb but why might the command "./configure --prefix=/usr" not be working? [07:57] qkit, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda /media/ntfsdrive [07:57] oops [07:58] cong06: Its like I said, delete line 2 in your known_hosts file, then youre ok [07:58] qkit, /dev/sda: TYPE="nvidia_raid_member" === DarkDevil is now known as Guest14585 [07:58] also, the source package i got has everything with a .bin extension for some reason. it's for "debian" [07:58] thanks raido. [07:59] np, you understand now? [07:59] GeneralK, The ntfs partition is riding on top of a hardware raid? [08:00] qkit, Yeah, ther's a raid controller in the mobo. My main HD is a raid array [08:00] ok nm .. i found a .deb installer file [08:00] ;p === shark is now known as Guest73740 [08:01] Guest73740 [08:01] GeneralK: what is the output if you run " gdisk -l /dev/sda" [08:01] Hard === 14WAAX926 is now known as punknroll [08:02] qkit, http://paste.ubuntu.com/581968/ [08:02] someone help me [08:03] I know nothing about ubuntu [08:03] someone help me [08:04] I can't change my name why??

I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the raid though [08:08] <_antant> When I try and chown an ntfs usb drive mounted in fstab from root won't let me. It doesn't give me an error it just doesn't do it. Is there a way I can take ownership?

Try: /help === vincent is now known as Guest78044 [08:12] shark was someone ,shark1 is my name [08:12] Starminn: Yes, for example when i'm using Openoffice word [08:12] do you know if certain font types are easier to read or make the reader more susceptible to convincing? [08:12] qkit, ericy : See, the drive also seems to show up as /dev/dm-0 [08:13] Softdroid: Certain apps (just by the way they're made) don't play well with various color schemes. For example, Firefox and OpenOffice/LibreOffice are notorious culprits for misbehaving with dark themes. [08:13] Starminn: Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to change the themes? [08:13] Softdroid: While I've seen some fixes every so often I've never tried any of them because to get the normal white back it looks like you'd have to edit it by hand again. I could find them if you want, ubt in general the rule of thumb here is "Don't use dark themes if you need those menus." [08:14] Softdroid: I'm talking about system themes, which is what you've done to get that to happen. [08:14] Softdroid: System->Preferences->Appearance [08:14] Generalk: hmm...try to mount using /dev/dm-0p1 rather then the sda [08:15] Thank you ericy I'm trying ubuntu [08:15] Softdroid: The ones that come default should be fine but some you get from GNOME-Look may not play so well. [08:15] Starminn: The menus are unreadable but when I move the mouse over the items its readable again. Is that the problem you are talking about? [08:16] Softdroid: Yep. [08:16] Starminn: I don't use dark theme, but I have changed the theme [08:16] qkit, Again, there's nothing other than dm-0 there's no dm-01 etc. [08:16] Starminn: How can I change the theme back to default? [08:17] shark1: good luck to you. Have fun. [08:17] Softdroid: http://imagebin.org/143654 and to change themes just go to System->Preferences->Appearance and choose one. [08:18] Generalk: but your gparted show that the /dev/dm-0p1 is available? but when you run the mount command. It return no such partition? [08:19] Starminn: Thanks. You are using dark theme :) [08:19] qkit, Oh, cool... there's a gui for parted. :P [08:19] ericy: I'm learning programming [08:19] GeneralK: (I might be joining your conversation/problem very late) but if you can do command line, what do sfdisk -l blkid and df -h show? [08:19] do you like it [08:19] Softdroid: Another thing to take ntoe of is when using dark themes (mine doesn't do it because it's a white foreground but the ones that are *really* dark) the icons go into "high contrast" mode in Open/Libre Office. [08:20] :) [08:20] GeneralK: sfdisk -l blkid and df -h show? [08:20] Softdroid: Yes, I am. I use Firefox 4 Beta though so the only apps I can't read well are LibreOffice and the logout/Sht Down button [08:20] Starminn: Ok, thanks for the info [08:20] Softdroid: I deal with it. ;) Lol. [08:20] ericy, I'll paste dump it all, hold one... [08:20] Generalk: also the ls /dev/mapper ? anything show up?

[08:39] that goes for everything else as well :) [08:40] Starminn, if you don't mind reconfiguring it, you might as well just annihilate the configuration whole [08:41] Sonne: I thought that's what purge did? remove+kill all configs. I tried hand-deleting the configs I could find in /home to no avail [08:41] I really odn't mind, though. I mean I've already got a lot of hours of crap to do now from uninstalling so I actually would love to start fresh. [08:41] how can I creat my own login screen name and personal LOGO? [08:42] qkit, control nvidia_ebbedadj nvidia_ebbedadj5 nvidia_daifaeje nvidia_ebbedadj1 nvidia_ebbedadj6 [08:42] Hi all [08:42] Sonne ethanol: Here's the install.sh by the way http://pastebin.com/NckXajnD [08:42] Starminn, purging removes the system-wide configuration, not the local one [08:42] here is a noob, can somebody help me?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:43] Generalk: sorry, but i out of idea. Maybe you can try in other channel also, like debian or linux.

[08:43] Starminn: you can try running pkg-config --variable=bansheedir banshee-1-core from terminal to figure out what path it used [08:43] k [08:43] qkit, Oh well. Thanks for trying [08:43] ich hab nen ubuntu in meinem vm server aufgesetzt [08:43] * Sonne highs five to ethanol [08:44] Sonne: :p [08:44] der ist zu haus und ich möchte per remote ssh drauf zugreifen [08:44] :) [08:44] welchen port muss ich freigeben [08:44] 902 oder 22? [08:44] bazZ061: dude, stop and read what the bot said [08:44] bazZ061: Read what ubottu said [08:44] getting the following error Unable to connect to in.archive.ubuntu.com:http: [08:44] sorry [08:44] i set up an ubuntu server in my vmware server [08:44] @ home [08:44] ethanol Sonne: /usr/lib/banshee-1 [08:44] now i want to remote ssh on my server [08:45] Starminn, did you run that with sudo? [08:45] Starminn: then you will find your plugin there [08:45] which port must opened? [08:45] Sonne: No. [08:45] 902 or 22 [08:45] Starminn, then i'm quite surprised it even worked [08:45] try looking if the plugin is in that directory [08:45] and how can i make it more secure? [08:45] Sonne: Aha! Giving me bogus commands, I see! ;) [08:45] hi any help for the following issue? Unable to connect to in.archive.ubuntu.com:http: [08:45] bazZ061, google for securing debian howto - same things apply to ubuntu [08:46] Starminn, i'll ask again [08:46] ok [08:46] did you run *install.sh* with sudo? [08:46] but which port ? [08:46] 902 or 22? [08:46] i have to forweard them also [08:46] on my router [08:46] bazZ061, 22 is the standard port, i don't see why you wouldn't use it :) [08:46] Hi, i am having trouble of installing ubuntu 10.10 onto my usb. [08:46] ethanol: Yeah, it's here. I'll delete it and let you know [08:46] Starminn: though a simple sudo locate Banshee.Lyrics.dll should have given you all locations too [08:47] Whenever i install it, its the live cd [08:47] and not a proper version of ubuntu [08:47] ok port 22 i have to forward [08:47] and which command is it in ubuntu? [08:47] i didnt find anything @ google [08:47] ethanol: "sudo locate Banshee.Lyrics.dll" didn't work even though I'm looking at the file [08:47] bazhang: iptables for port forwarding [08:47] Starminn: define "didn't work" [08:47] port forwarding is automated in my router [08:48] ethanol: It returned nothing. [08:48] Starminn: did you try a sudo updatedb ? [08:48] but i have to open the port in my ubuntu machine [08:48] Starminn, follow me please - did you run the install.sh script with sudo? [08:48] Ignore me.... [08:48] gamemakingdude: ok :) [08:49] ... [08:49] Sonne ethanol: It's working now. I just ran "sudo rm /usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.Lyrics.dll" and restarted Banshee. Voila, no issue. [08:49] Sonne: Are we going to Candy Mountain? Sorry, anyway, yes, I did [08:50] how do i install ssh is it sudo apt-get install ssh [08:50] Starminn, i missed your candy mountain reference - nevertheless i'm glad you managed to remove it [08:51] ET-0nline, definitely, yes [08:51] ET-0nline, the client should be already there though - for the server you might want openssh-server [08:51] sonne: and then if i want a user to connect to my ubuntu ssh how to do that [08:51] does anyone know a tool to create your own api? [08:51] ET-0nline, create the user, give it a password, give your ip to your user [08:51] Sonne: Ah. It was simply one of those lame YouTube videos that gained popularity through some process full of facepalms a few years ago. Old news now. I would link you but it's highly irrelevant. Basically, "YouTube garbage" is a nice summary. [08:52] Starminn, noted [08:52] how is it to add user is it sudo add user [08:52] Sonne: Thanks for the help though. If you have time, care to tell me more of this "locate" command? I can see this being very useful. [08:52] candy mountain was awesome [08:52] ET-0nline, sudo adduser [08:52] Can anyone help me with my wireless card? It shows up on lshw but it doesn't seem to have a logical name. [08:52] almost as awesome as romeo and juliet in leetspeak [08:52] i have a question for any one experianced enough in ubuntu or any other linux destro and wifi. is there a way to make it so i can see if there is hiden ESSIDs around me ? my ds using dsorganize can see them i was wondering if i could get my pc to ? [08:53] Starminn, periodically, your system stores a database of all the files you have on your disks (the update is done at some time during the night i believe) [08:53] * Starminn tries to prevent the lines of #ubuntu/#ubuntu-offtopic from crossing *cough*ethanol*cough* [08:53] by launching "locate" you can query that database, and see where a file is [08:53] Sonne: sudo updatedb [08:53] Hello all, i'm trying too get pppd too run, but it appears i don't have a ppp_generic kernel module... [08:53] :p [08:53] Sonne: Ah. And what were you saying about updating said DB? [08:53] ethanol: ah. [08:53] I have a problem with installing ubuntu on a usb and i do not want it to be the live version! [08:54] ethanol, why do you tell me that? [08:54] Sonne: it doens't have to be nightly, it can be at your will too [08:54] ethanol, i was about to mention that - by default is nightly [08:54] I've installed a package with dpkg -i --force-depends yesterday (because i dont need the dependencys (and i dont have em)) - but now, i cant update my system anymore - because of a broken package. Any idea? [08:54] gamemakingdude: google install ubuntu on usb [08:55] schinken, dpkg -r [08:55] I have [08:55] gamemakingdude: What do you mean "Live version"? [08:55] gamemakingdude: this is irc, not your local how-to multichapter channel [08:55] i've tried pen drive linux [08:55] schinken: sudo apt-get install -f [08:55] Starminn: Live cd. [08:56] gamemakingdude: then don't install the live version [08:56] .... [08:56] I'm not installing it [08:56] its the pendrive linux that does it [08:56] gamemakingdude: So you want it to run as a mini computer on the USB? AFAIK the newer Ubuntus don't work on that? Most people go with Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux anyway, but the newer Ubuntus don't seem to be compatible with Pen Drive Linux according to their sit last I checked [08:56] i guess thats a no to my question [08:56] their site* [08:57] hello [08:57] Then why is it included in the pendrivelinux list?

[08:59] hi guys, I cannot play asf files on *ubuntu 10.10 .... I googled and searched but did not find a solution [08:59] can anyone help me?

[08:59] where are the .jpg files stored which give background to Ubuntu? [09:00] tensorpudding: it is a microsoft (£^£*%~&£$~!) multimedia file that is used by some internet radio streamers [09:00] tensorpudding: for example http://live1.interoutemediaservices.com/?id=632ecab2-c76f-49f6-8faf-2a99d13131d2 [09:00] hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu" [09:00] ct529: tried using banshee? === lance_ is now known as Guest28668 [09:00] researcher1: /usr/share/backgrounds I believe.

[09:01] So* [09:01] ct529: This looks like a plug in for XMMS2 http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/sound/xmms2-plugin-asf You should be able to install the plugin via synaptic and sounds like it'll help you to play .asf files [09:01] Most of the stuff on there is mostly for live stuff [09:01] is there a certin way I should install ubuntu 10.10 on an intel ssd? [09:01] hello every one can anyone tell me what this command will do "le16_to_cpu" [09:02] and not for mini computer [09:02] venkatesh_: probably converts a 16bit int from little endian to whatever the cpu uses [09:02] Gartral: I have already installed them [09:02] gamemakingdude:"This means that you can boot from a USB drive and keep customisations such as keyboard layout, numlock, preferences, additional packages saved on the drive.

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill [09:07] I want a text to be floating for each background of Ubuntu.Actually the name of some holy diety. can it be done? [09:08] researcher1: what do you mean by floating text? [09:08] researcher1: I'd say you'd need to just add the text yourself in GIMP or whatever pleases you. It would be nice if you could make a transparent .gif which is what I think you want to overlay it all, but I don't see it happening === Aleks_Minton is now known as demonbell [09:08] you can edit the backgrounds to put in text [09:09] How is it exactly this groupon works? Is it a place where i can recommend cheap offers to my friends or what is it? [09:09] there's also things which can paint on the background but that's a lot more painful [09:09] tensorpudding: its the name of a diety writeen as .jpg image which I want to be visible for each Ubuntu background [09:09] loco [09:09] hi ! I would like to know if on Ubuntu Lucid, it's possible in KDM to have like in GDM the users who have an account in order to only click on the nickname and supply the password (because in KDM you have to type the entire nickname) ? [09:09] rfkill list shows wifi is hard and soft locked. unblock does not change that. there is no external switch on this machine [09:09] Fripon: you can use gdm for kde if you want [09:09] hoo? [09:10] I can not understdand [09:10] researcher1: You want it to be a single image which automatically applies to all of them, right? [09:11] researcher1: OR do you have just one background in particular in mind? [09:11] Diverdude: severly OT [09:11] STarminn:YES [09:11] Starminn:I want same image to be applied to all backgrounds [09:12] researcher1: Okay. While I'm sure there's probably some way to set the background control file (wherever that is) to load two images with one being dynamic and the other static, I wouldn't knnow where to even find it, hat to do with it once I have it, or if it will even work. Your best bet (and possibly only bet) is to just make a background with the text you want there as a separate file. [09:13] researcher1: I like what you're trying to do, and if you want to try my earlier suggestion go for it as I see that as the only possible "hope" but I really wouldn't know what to tell you. [09:13] Gartral, come on, its ok [09:13] Starminn:But I will have to edit each background and save it? [09:14] Diverdude: Why is it that every time I'm on here somebody's lecturing you for being off-topic? [09:14] researcher1: Yes. So, for example, open it up in GIMP and just add a text box there, save it as a different name (so you save the original) and set it as your background. [09:14] Starminn:ok .workable idea.thanks [09:15] Starminn, Maybe you are just completely out of touch with reality mate [09:15] I've been trying what I can find in the forums. But still no wifi. [09:16] researcher1: Sure thing. By the way, not sure if you know this or not, but backgrounds don't have to be in /usr/share/backgrounds to work. They can be anywhere. So to prevent accidentally overwriting stuff I'd save it in /home/yourUSERNAME/somewhere [09:16] fedora_newb: I am using XChat 2.8.8. I will tell you that you can configure any servers and multiple channels to automatically open. [09:16] Diverdude: In soviet Russia, reality touch you.

It could really use some for the trolls. [09:42] fedora_newb: what's the problem? [09:42] linuxuz3r: hmm? why? [09:42] hello [09:42] that software is very near to hofmann [09:42] Gnea, just rude people in chat ;) [09:42] Quintin, i was just wondering [09:43] others no [09:43] fedora_newb: no worries :) [09:43] ive got a bit of perl script, im trying to run/pipe a program through, any ideas please? would it just be cat file.txt | perlcode > outputfile ? i tried that but it didnt appear to do anything [09:43] in fedora it says x86_64 [09:43] but ubuntu and debian the iso is amd64 [09:43] !amd64 [09:43] AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64%20Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [09:44] well [09:44] well, most compilers produce binaries that are compatible with both architecture. I think amd was the first to have popular consumer 64 bit cpu, so it might be related to that [09:44] 17:41:12 [09:44] I wait pixum support mail xD [09:45] ana_: what's the problem you're having, exactly? [09:46] AdvoWork: you script has to be able to handle sdtin [09:46] chchc [09:46] any elite hardware geeks here? [09:47] just wanna chat really [09:47] lol [09:47] !social [09:47] linuxuz3r: try #hardware, thanks [09:47] linuxuz3r: You might be better joining ##hardware to chat about that, or #ubuntu-offtopic [09:47] gah, i thought there was a !command for this as well :P [09:47] yes [09:47] s/sdtin/stdin/ [09:48] overclucker, cant i do it from the CLI? the script is like: perl -MEncode -pe 'use bytes; sub c { my $d = decode("UTF-8",shift,Encode::FB_XMLCREF); $d =~ s/&#x(..);/decode("windows-1252",chr(hex($1)))/eg; $d } s/([\x80-\xFF]+)/encode("UTF-8",c($1))/eg' [09:48] ok [09:48] haa [09:48] flash plays super fast (and no sound) in browsers for me (chrome, firefox and opera), tried to reinstall flash, totem, the browsers but can't find a solution; anyone have an idea? [09:48] ahahkdha [09:48] Gnea: She (ana_) said: I installed Pixum software in Lubuntu but when I try to execute it, appears that error "Failed to execute child process "/ home / ana / Pixum / Pixum" (No such file or directory)" [09:48] hi people, I'm currently trying to install a subsystem with debootstrap, I wonder if this is possible to use debootstrap + chroot without root access ? does it even make sense ? are there any security issues ? [09:49] Hello folks. I've been having some problems with booting Ubuntu since 10.10, the famous "Checking battery state" bit that freezes the boot process. I'm wondering if this check can be removed from the boot sequence, so that I can use Ubuntu? [09:49] oh guys is there a pattern when ubuntu release is lts [09:49] i need y messenger [09:49] can u help ? [09:49] linux, 3years [09:49] linuxuz3r, 3 yeras [09:50] nit-wit, but what release usually are lts [09:50] krishna: Yahoo messenger? You can connect to yahoo accounts for chat using pidgin or empathy, although from memory, they don't support video chat [09:50] ericy: ah, okay - well we support Ubuntu here, Lubuntu support is in #lubuntu, and from what I can tell, it's just a perl script to install it, so it should "just work" if you type ./install.pl [09:50] can u help ? [09:50] !lts | linuxuz3r [09:50] linuxuz3r: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

[09:52] ana_: okay, I'm installing it now [09:52] ana_: It appears that maybe when you installed, You should specify "/home/ana/" not "/home/ana/Pixum/".

[09:54] anyone could help with this question ? I'm currently trying to install a subsystem with debootstrap, I wonder if this is possible to use debootstrap + chroot without root access ? does it even make sense ? are there any security issues ? [09:54] AdvoWork: yes, you should be able to pipe that alright. cat file.txt | perlcode > out.txt [09:54] krishna: talk here, not in PM, thanks. [09:55] !details | krishna [09:55] krishna: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....

[10:06] downloading many archives [10:06] ana_: now type the following: cd ~/Pixum [10:06] Gnea: Its have cost. [10:06] when finish installation [10:07] ana_: then: cd Pixum\ Photo\ Book [10:07] ana_: yes, after installation is finished [10:07] ok [10:07] thanks for your help [10:07] vivek200912: you have to pay for cedega [10:07] vivek200912: yes, it's not free, but it's not expensive. not everything is without cost. [10:07] vivek200912: ubuntu is free, therefore less cost to play such games shouldn't be a problem. [10:08] ana_: you're welcome [10:08] Pixum installed, no errors. now say: to run program click on /home/ana/Pixum/Pixum Easy book [10:08] Gnea, zvacet: yes, obiviously, and not much prise only $5 per month which is good to buy..

[10:09] vivek200912: exactly - make sure you check the compatibility list to make sure your game works with it before buying [10:09] ana_: you have to type: cd Pixum, then cd Pixum\ Photo\ Book [10:09] ana_: then type: ./Pixum\ Photo\ Book [10:09] zvacet,Gnea: thanks.. [10:11] I don't have Pixum\Photo\book :S [10:11] ana_: notice the spaces === ogra is now known as Guest78603 [10:12] ana_: the \ are to escape spaces on the commandline [10:12] Gnea: ana_: You are making me dizzy with all of those forward slashes, back slashes and spaces!

[10:12] I I'm in terminal in /Pixum [10:13] ana_: yes, and if you type: cd Pixum where is the tab key, you'll see why the \ is necessary [10:13] iqpi just by using the startxfce4 cmd [10:13] sorry I don't understand [10:14] I install it in /home/ana/Pixum [10:14] Gnea: ana_: Well as I said in an earlier post!: Spaces in file and directory names are evil!

[10:14] lol [10:14] shlorine: why do you want to start from cli [10:14] perhaps its because you are trying to start it from gnome?

[10:31] i believe people are having difficulty communicating with you ana_ , you should try asking in the #ubuntu-es channel in your native language. :) [10:31] erry: try to change server and see if that works [10:32] zvacet, is there a way to know which server is the problem? [10:32] I use ubuntu.otenet.gr and badgerports.org [10:33] erry: under ubuntu software center>edit>software repositories change from one you use now to main and see [10:33] Where's ubuntu software center? [10:33] hello guys, I'm going to install ubuntu ON usb. Why can't I simply boot from cd and install it to usb exactly the same way I install ubuntu on my hard drive? [10:33] I'm on 10.04 lts [10:34] erry: under applications [10:34] Neosano: you can do as you say, i have done it but with debian [10:34] Oh that [10:34] never used it [10:34] i saw a xoom tablet today and its something [10:34] smaller than an ipad [10:34] iqpi, oh, right. Just wanted to be sure, thanks [10:35] Neosano: just be sure to select the correct drive [10:35] and also when you are going to install grub [10:35] zvacet, stuill 0% waiting for heeaders [10:35] install it in the pendrive, and not in other harddisk [10:36] erry: sorry I don't know [10:36] iqpi, OK. uhhmm, more questions came to my mind :) [10:36] maybe badgerports is the prob [10:36] iqpi, is it possible to install more than 1 distrib on a pendrive? [10:37] Neosano: of course yes [10:37] Yep [10:37] That was the prob [10:37] iqpi, and is it possible to resize partitions on the pendrive like I usually do on my hdd? [10:37] erry: so you solved it? [10:37] Neosano: yes, no problem, just make the partitions as if it will be a standart hd [10:38] iqpi, awesome :O thanks [10:38] zvacet, yes ty [10:38] :) [10:38] how do i make a new user called 'dropbox' [10:38] adduser dropbox [10:38] erry: glad to hear that :) [10:38] Ubuntu is now installing on my 8gb usb. [10:38] only one thin Neosano [10:39] hello, I can't access webmin form the internet, works from localhost from root [10:39] Neosano: i dont advice you to use ext3 or ext4 [10:39] Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something? [10:39] anyone had experience with it? [10:39] usb flash drives are really slow, i don't recommend them for an OS [10:39] Neosano: because of journaling [10:39] ok i take it no one here is familiar with the ubuntu boot sequence. bye [10:39] iqpi, :O [10:39] iqpi, what should I use then? [10:40] how do i become the new user 'dropbox' [10:40] ext2, still gonna be slow though [10:40] Neosano: i think ext2 is the best, or parse a option to ext4 to disable journaling, and i dont know how to do that xD [10:40] Ben64, not for everyday use, of course! but for trying linux out and doing recovery things! [10:40] azizLIGHTS, su dropbox [10:40] !webmin | boota2 [10:40] boota2: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [10:41] I have old ubuntu. [10:41] 8.4 [10:41] Neosano, just out of curiosity, why do you want a filesystem without journaling? [10:41] Is anyone else getting weird screen artefacts in Ubuntu. If I have an app open in the foreground I always see either youtube videos or adverts for amazon come through from the background, even when a browser is minimised or closed altogether [10:41] the only way to get rid of it is to restart [10:41] this is a new problem, started at 10.10 [10:41] any ideas? [10:41] neurochrome, few other people are reporting the same issue - it's most probably due to the video drivers [10:42] Sonne: it's better when using usb drive, less writing to it [10:42] Sysi, aha [10:42] Hi all, I have used ubuntu in the past (like version 6 or something) but gave up, and decided that I would give it another go today with version 10. [10:42] Sonne, even switching between metacity/compiz/ emerald/gtk-win-dec doesn;t help [10:42] strange [10:42] dd [10:42] neurochrome, those are window managers, not video drivers :P [10:42] Sonne, no fix? [10:42] Sonne, yeah I know [10:42] neurochrome: have you tried disabling hardware accel for flash [10:42] it's issue with flash [10:43] yundao [10:43] But I need help setting up my wireless card, more specifically... It doesn't seem to turn 'on' when I boot up [10:43] No, I haven't [10:43] neurochrome, the proprietary flash plugin uses some kind of weird acceleration that causes problems on certain drivers, you might want to try switching to some alternatives [10:43] what is this? [10:43] neurochrome, for example, you might consider trying the proprietary drivers [10:43] iqpi, oh, and really, what's wrong with journaling? [10:43] There is a way to disable hw accel though, I'll look into it [10:43] Sonne, prop drivers for what? [10:43] GFX? [10:43] already do [10:43] neurochrome, for your video card [10:43] ylmfos: This a a support channel for the ubuntu operating system [10:43] ah, nice [10:43] hi [10:43] Neosano: more writing to disc [10:44] eeee [10:44] Neosano: journaling makes many write cycles to the disks to dont loose data in a crash [10:44] Just in case there is anyone different around now, I am having an issue where I'm unable to mount a NTFS partition on a drive that has a gpt partition table... it's also connected through a nvidia raid array. Any help would be appreciated [10:44] Sonne, not that I like prop stuff, but I like my gfx with a kick up the ass [10:44] neurochrome: try disabling hardware accel for flash first :D right click flash vid -> settings -> uncheck box for accel [10:44] i m first use it [10:44] Neosano: so it will destroy your pendrive [10:44] neurochrome, i know what you mean, i run proprietary drivers as well - but your issue appears often when using the free ones [10:44] Neosano: because pendrives are designed to support a limit of IO cycles [10:44] Ben64, cheers 2sec, I thought there was a cfg file somewhere to switch it on/off [10:45] where are u? [10:45] Ben64: i'd tried that but my settings aren't working either.. [10:45] when I type in, lshw -C network, and it shows up with an entry "*-network UNCLAIMED" what does this mean? [10:45] Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something? [10:45] iqpi, oh :O [10:45] Have you seen the channel list. Do it. Filter it for channels with over 300 users. [10:45] Sysi: huh? i didn't say anything for you to do? [10:45] yimfos: do you have any question [10:46] GeneralK, i'm not familiar with your setup - you might want to try #ubuntu-server however [10:46] Ben64: throws to adobe website [10:46] iqpi, hmm.. ok.. but then what's going to happen if I pull my usb out while the system is doing something? [10:46] Fripon: you could try to ask from #kubuntu [10:47] Neosano: unclean mount, not good for journalized fs:es either [10:47] :/quit [10:47] how do i give the new user dropbox, ability to read/write my home dir? /home/ubuntu [10:48] Neosano: i dont know, but the same that if while you are working with the system, you disconnect the hard drive, your system will crash [10:48] azizLIGHTS, you could try adding the dropbox user to your group - but why are you using a dedicated user for dropbox? [10:48] Neosano: I think it will become freeze [10:48] and you will cannot do anything, just hardreboot [10:48] Sysi thx [10:48] How do I check if a particular driver in question is bound to a device, and talking to the kernel? [10:49] Sonne: because i tried with my own user and it does funny things when i try to share /home/ubuntu to other dropbox users [10:49] mushrooms: lspci -k [10:49] azizLIGHTS, using a different user won't change anything [10:49] for a start [10:49] iqpi, I mean would it broke the filesystem so I'd have to format it? [10:49] that's the way fuse woks i guess [10:49] Sysi: so if it's listed, then a driver should be installed? [10:50] mushrooms, it will list the driver its using [10:50] Sonne: it tries to sync /home/ubuntu/.dropbox which has socket files and goes 100% cpu usage, if i exclude it , it deltes it and my db disappears, if i recreate it, and then try to share /home/ubuntu it makes a .dropbpx (Conflicted Copy) dir [10:50] Sonne: its funny businmess! [10:50] Sonne: im going to isolate the .dropbox dir into a new user, and not share that user's home. and keep my own home safe from that crap and able to be shared [10:50] hi, i need a linux alternative for avisub detector, any help? [10:50] fedora_newb: oh ok (sorry I'm not an advanced user.. so...) I'm trying to get my wireless card working with ubuntu :( [10:50] ку народ [10:51] azizLIGHTS, that doesn't really look like a good choice, but have fun experimenting :) [10:51] mushrooms, i had trouble with mine as well, however did you try connecting it to a wired connection and then checking for additional drivers with ubuntu online?

[10:52] mushrooms, system->administration->additional drivers [10:52] fedora_newb: yes, i am connected via wire at the moment, and then i connected it to the 'restricted drivers', it said that system doesn't have any.. [10:52] oh [10:52] Neosano: i dont know what will happen [10:52] but i dont think you will have any problem, but you will loose whatever you have not saved before [10:52] mushrooms, you made sure your wifi is on? [10:52] fedora_newb: then... my wireless card is one of those ones where i insert into the PCI slot on my laptop. it won't light up either.. [10:52] ok.. [10:53] and.. [10:53] !group [10:53] !groups [10:53] azizLIGHTS, adduser dropbox ubuntu [10:53] any help with avisub detector for linux? [10:53] fedora_newb: ^^;;; actually i don't know how to turn it on in ubuntu.. [10:53] (if that's your username) [10:53] mushrooms: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs and see if it helps [10:53] zvacet: yeah i'm reading that at the moment now too [10:53] iqpi, I want the free space of the pendrive to be shared for all os'es on my pendrive, how to do that? [10:53] mushrooms: should be bios setting [10:53] Sonne what about the permissions of /home/ubuntu dir? do i have to set it [10:53] mushrooms: ok then [10:53] mushrooms: whats your network card ? [10:53] mushrooms, i would do what zvacet recommended...i am of no help from here, sorry [10:53] zvacet: i was trying to figure out if the lshw -C network command meant anything :( [10:54] azizLIGHTS, if anything, chmod g+w [10:54] mushrooms, look for the ubuntu netbook versions / it's extra packages [10:54] Ben64, the settings is greyed out, and global settings takes me to adobe.com [10:54] if you wanna write to it, that is [10:54] sougata: I have no idea >_< how do i tell? (i don't have the driver disc, nor do i have the original box) [10:54] yes [10:54] Neosano: just make a partition with the free space, and format it to fat32 [10:54] do i do adduser dropbox ubuntu, as ubuntu or as dropbox user [10:54] adduser [10:54] then make a fstab rule to mount that partition for example in /pendrive [10:54] yes but as who? [10:54] mushrooms: so what was the output for lshw -C network ? [10:55] neurochrome: try it on a youtube vid? [10:55] sougata: hang on i'll paste it in a pastebin [10:55] yeah, that's where I am [10:55] mushrooms: cool [10:55] iqpi, no, I mean.. I don't want to create 2 partitions for 2 different os'es, how can I install them on one? :O [10:55] neurochrome: well thats grayed for me too... hold on [10:56] iqpi, simply different root directory? [10:56] Neosano: you can not install two os on same partition [10:56] Ben64, k [10:56] Neosano: you need at least one partition for each / so, you cannot install 2 systems in one partition [10:56] sougata: http://paste.ubuntu.com/582022/ [10:56] that doesn't sound good XD [10:56] Sonne: what about files in /home/ubuntu/* shouldnt those be g+w too? [10:56] Ben64, think I found the text file to edit /etc/adobe/mms.cfg [10:57] Neosano: there is a posibilite [10:57] azizLIGHTS, aye most probably [10:57] neurochrome: :O [10:57] Ben64, but it doesn't exist, does flash have hw accel on by default? [10:57] but you will need to use first a different partition [10:57] http://ben64.com/panda/test1.html [10:57] neurochrome: go there, right click, settings :D [10:58] Ben64, nice one! [10:58] best workaround ever [10:58] worth a shot, i was having problems with accel on [10:59] Ben64, the artefacts are still there, but I'll restart to see if it's fixed.... or is there another way to kill the programs running w/o restarting? [10:59] mushrooms: hang on a while [10:59] sougata: so i was wondering what "unclaimed" means... and if there were any way of actually enabling the wifi card... [10:59] sougata: ya [10:59] Neosano: you can first install both systems, in diferent partitions, then from one of the system, as root, you copy the whole root directoy of the other system into a directory of your system. Then when it is entired copied, you can chroot in the new folder, so it will be like using a diferent system into your system. [10:59] neurochrome: logging out would work, but if it didn't fix it, then that probably won't with a restart either [10:59] Neosano: and if it works, then destroy the partition === Guest4489 is now known as DarkDevil [11:00] Ben64, brb [11:00] iqpi, but I remember when installing linux there was an option called root point or smth === DarkDevil is now known as Guest31578 [11:00] Neosano: yes, you are right [11:00] smth? [11:00] !help [11:00] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:00] something XD [11:01] but, you first install as many systems as you want in different partitions [11:01] wow [11:01] Neosano: and after that [11:01] Ben64: mine started working when i took acceleration off, thanks [11:01] Neosano: you have to copy each / of each system into diferent folders of the system you want to have as "master" [11:02] and then, for using those "client" systems [11:02] Sysi: cool [11:02] Neosano: you can chroot to the folder of the system. [11:02] Neosano: i don't know if i have explain [11:03] mushrooms: you need acx1xx driver === Radios is now known as Radios_zzz [11:03] how do i make it so new files made in /home/ubuntu by ubuntu user are g+w by default upon creation [11:03] sougata: oh ok, so what should I do from here? [11:03] mushrooms: just hang on [11:03] sougata: no problem [11:04] mushrooms: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers [11:04] mushrooms: we have to match the vendor and the product id [11:04] mushrooms: Then we can get the driver. [11:05] sougata: oh ok, so it's that texas instruments one? [11:05] Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored, did I miss something? [11:06] iqpi, but that would require some more brainfuck with grub :O [11:06] iqpi, hmm okay thanks! [11:07] Not really, in fact you wont need grub because you only have to boot one linux, and the others should "boot" from that linux [11:07] but Neosano thats fucking hard work make the partitions [11:08] iqpi, >.< ok [11:08] iqpi, thanks!

I can't mount my Motorola L9(on storage) mode via USB. The phone shows up fine as /dev/sdb when plugged in. But it says unknown device, unable to mount when I try to mount it. [12:30] What2does? [12:31] !tablet [12:32] hallo when i start ubuntu and after login i must type in 4 times the key password can some one help me to fix this? === lance is now known as Guest70646 [12:34] lampe2: That probably means you are typing the keyring password wrong three times, so it falls back to ask you the password for your wireless network instead, which is the password you just typed three times. === Dink[a] is now known as Dink [12:35] geirha, no i type it right and i dont even got wlan iam on kabel ;) it tested it now 5 times when i start ubnutu [12:36] lampe2: Hm. I see. Not sure then. If you don't have too many passwords stored in your keyring, I'd consider wiping it and create a new keyring. [12:37] lampe2: I'm not on an Ubuntu machine atm, but you'd go to System -> Preferences -> Encryption keys and passwords (IIRC) to do that. [12:38] geirha, iam there and i got there 7 entries some for ubuntu one and gwibber and gmail can i delte them? === Guest70646 is now known as lance--_-- [12:39] lampe2: Well, I hope you remember the passwords for those? [12:39] ok i was trying to follow that guide BUT both download links are broken. so obviously i cant do anything with it! [12:39] yes i do ;) [12:39] any ideas? [12:39] geirha, yes i remeber all of them ;) [12:39] geirha, so i can just delete them? [12:40] lampe2: Then it shouldn't be dangerous. If you remove the keyring, and create a new, default one, you'll have to add those passwords again, one by one of course. [12:40] Hi !

[12:40] ubuntu is detecting it. but for some reason its not working [12:41] Hello guys. Still can't believe there's no solution for this: I have a USB flash drive and I'd like to install several linux distributions on it, the problem is that I don't want to use fixed size partitions because my pen drive isn't so big and I don't want the space to be wasted on another partition (and I don't want to resize them from time to time). Is there any way to install everything on one partition? Maybe there's something like a [12:41] virtual file system? Or anything else?

When the computer finish his boot, he won't show the space to enter my password. But here is he trick. If I try ctrl alt F1, the screen shut. If I try to boot in safe mode, the computer cracsh after loading the usb port and an live usb start fail with getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id ( [12:42] 0). I checked the md5sum of he iso and it's good, beside the problems started after I did he first upgrade, not right after the installation. Dos someone have an idea?

Can you use a live CD instead to get into it? [12:44] Abhijit: use a bash script to do ./game.bin [12:44] Abhijit: and add that script to main menu [12:44] ohhh [12:44] ok [12:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EternalLands#The%20quick%20way%20-%20Install%20Ubuntu%20packages%20using%20an%20install%20program Abhijit [12:45] Abhijit, just use the ppa [12:45] bazhang, ok [12:45] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: After boot, you can also try alt-sysrq-k to try to get back to a console. it should kill the x server. You may have to do the ctrl-alt-f1 first to get to a console (even if it appears blank), then do the alt-sysrq-k.

[12:53] Dave105, why not continue to use it then [12:54] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: hmm..well, since you already checked the MD5 checksum, the USB image seems good... maybe you are experiencing a hardware issue? You might check your bios settings and refresh them for starters, maybe reseat the ram, check connections. [12:55] bazhang because my brothers needs it a lot. because he travels a lot. i used ubuntu before but i decided to give it a go again, but with this adapter im not having any luck [12:55] Dave105, well there are lots of fixes for it in the ubuntu forums, but they do involve some compiling and such. [12:56] Dave105, its simply not a well supported card at all [12:56] [segfault], Yeah... [12:56] A little newbie question. In windows you can use "start programname" to lauch the program but not in the current terminal. How do i do this in ubuntu? I.e i start emacs from terminal but i can continue using that same terminal window [12:57] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: btw, which version of Ubuntu is on the USB? [12:57] 10.10 === Cipher_ is now known as pankaj_sharm [12:57] EClaesson: use "screen" to run multiple programs at once on a terminal? [12:57] EClaesson: or use tabs [12:58] [segfault], the latest 10.10 [12:58] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: yeah, hmm. well I thought it might be related to an earlier bug in Lucid..:( [12:58] EClaesson: to start emacs just type "emacs" [12:58] Guys... I'm new to ubuntu. just trashed my windows pc === rafa_ is now known as Guest62905 [12:59] welcome XLR8 [12:59] bazhang im aware of that :\ ill keep looking :) [12:59] Thans RUAN [12:59] [segfault], one possible problem could be that I have a wifi n card, or usb3 ports, as well as esata [12:59] ruan: I know that i can type emacs. But then that terminal is used by emacs, so i can't continue using it. I want to be able to lauch emacs just as if i clicked its icon. (I'm to lazy to click..) [12:59] EClaesson: yeah, so open a new terminal tab [13:00] <[segfault]> Ploploploop: well, I suppose, but the latest kernel should be supporting all of that, and at least not die like that if it doesn't for some reason. [13:00] EClaesson: file > open tab [13:00] <[eXception]> hi, when I enter into my /etc/syslog.conf following lines: *.*;auth,authpriv.none;local0.none -/var/log/syslog , local0.* /var/log/php.log ... it still keeps logging into: /var/log/syslog... why is that?

[13:23] SanterDT: if you have not installed, install it in software-center [13:24] <_antant> Doesn't have to be bazhang by the way [13:25] <[segfault]> liminal: just curious, is the system a laptop or desktop? It appears that some folks fixed that problem by manually turning off their wifi before shutting down. Just curious if that could narrow things down. Also, you can try to do ctrl-alt-f7 during shutdown to see if there are messages that will help you before the halt. === Cipher_ is now known as pankaj_sharma [13:27] desktop [13:27] wifi [13:27] i dont think its wifi related.

[13:29] reboot works fine.. no problems [13:30] <[TK]D-Fender> _antant: I don't believe there is a way to make the share selectively visible, but you can restrict access to actually using it.

Just going out on a limb, but it might help you get a handle on the shutdown process. [13:33] <[segfault]> liminal: rc0.d is shutdown, rc6.d is reboot (i should have clarified that, sry) [13:34] <[segfault]> liminal: your problem is probably happening in the S40 or S60 scripts [13:34] hello [13:34] Hi ! I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something? [13:35] s90 halt ?

[13:36] the reboot doesnt have a halt.. it goes straight to the reboot [13:36] erUSUL: still here? Gparted seems to hang in checking devices (fdisk gives partition table) and even after reboot fsck -y /dev/sda1 gives status 'device busy' even though its not mounted and im running systemrescuecd [13:37] <[segfault]> liminal: right, as it should.. just wondering if there is a difference in your S40 and S60 scripts compared to the reboot ones. If not, then you are right, there is something happening in S90 (halt) that is causing it. [13:37] fs umount? [13:38] how do I use that command during shutdown? [13:38] <[segfault]> liminal: I was just referring to the S40umountfs and S60umountroot scripts. Seems like S60 is the one since you are having trouble umounting / [13:38] tensorpudding : Thank you for the information...

[13:59] erUSUL: using sysrescuecd 2.0.0, so kernel 2.6.35.10 [13:59] erUSUL: i could try to boot in 2.6.36.2 which im doing now... [14:00] mtlife: nvm then the corruption confused the driver. tried e2fsck with -f ( for force ) [14:00] What is the best size for /boot partition? People on the forums simply say "just make it 100 mb to be sure" but I want to keep it as minimal as possilbe (running from usb) [14:01] airwork: screen is the command to open another screen in the console, and to switch between them [14:01] 60M Neosano [14:01] airwork: screen --help [14:01] robdig: any thoughts? [14:01] wie kann ich von einer Partition alle Daten zu der anderen kopieren? dabei sollten alle Rechte/SoftLinks beibehalten werden [14:01] Neosano, 50M [14:01] erUSUL: ok gonna try that... [14:01] erUSUL: and what launch day do you have? [14:01] okay.. anyone else to say a lower number? [14:01] Neosano ...to be shure..look at your actual /boot partition..and see how bit it is... and ad..10 M [14:01] ShawnRisk: how does your question relate to ubuntu? [14:01] ruan: screen is not installed === Guest54610 is now known as DarkDevil [14:02] <[segfault]> airwork: couldn't you just log into another virtual terminal? ctrl-alt-f2, for example? or do you need to stay in the same tty? [14:02] i have a strange issue regarding python [14:02] ShawnRisk: hmm. after looking at it, sounds like your system has a different bios that the article was written for. [14:02] ShawnRisk: Just a thought, but if the System ID is not accepted, maybe Dell restricts BIOS updating with Linux tools to systems they support Linux on? [14:02] oCean: because I have Ubuntu installed on the machine. === DarkDevil is now known as Guest99260 [14:02] airwork: install it [14:02] robdig: yep [14:02] ShawnRisk: your question is still offtopic tough [14:02] airwork: came preinstalled for me though [14:02] ok thanks [14:02] !info screen [14:02] screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-14ubuntu4 (maverick), package size 595 kB, installed size 1020 kB [14:03] Neosano, 30M [14:03] drc: yes but people are trying to work on fixes [14:03] <[segfault]> airwork: you can also run wvdial in the background with 'vwdial &', then bring it to the foreground with 'fg' [14:03] oCean: I tried hardware channel with no luck [14:03] ShawnRisk: i did find this link http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/firmware-tools-devel/2008-August/000375.html [14:03] Neosano my /boot has 43 M [14:03] im working on this python based application. every time i put in my amazon affiliate ID into the code, something changes the number to Canonicals [14:03] oCean: I will try there again [14:03] hi [14:03] [segfault]: i tried using &, but isn't that limited to gnome-terminal? [14:03] airwork: screen controls i remember [14:03] ShawnRisk: says you can use a disk to update it [14:03] mindware, I'd go with 50M [14:03] <[segfault]> airwork: that is an old standard unix command [14:03] mindware, mine has 97 mb, but it has a lot of kernels on it :O [14:03] mtlife: sorry; typo :) imeant *lunch* time. [14:04] security.ubuntu.com appears too be down for me. [14:04] ShawnRisk: please do [14:04] airwork: ctrl a +Create, ctrl a +Next, ctrl a+bAck [14:04] I go with 50 M also... I have a few kernels as well.. [14:04] erUSUL: hehe, e2fsck -f /dev/sda1 = device or resource busy [14:04] mindware, sorry, you were not the person who asked :) [14:04] erUSUL: and its not mounted, clean boot [14:04] robdig: I will look [14:04] mtlife: sudo lsof /dev/sda1 [14:04] yeah I think 50 is ok, thanks [14:04] <[segfault]> airwork: ruan is right, though.. screen is probably what you really want. it won't take long to master it. [14:04] <[eXception]> :q [14:04] ruan: screen simply isn't installed and i can't install it unless i can both connect and run commands [14:04] High_Priest no problem [14:04] my boot is 100mb, but i keep a lot of custom kernels. [14:04] <[eXception]> thx segfault! [14:05] no it is not [14:05] i just want to run "wvdial" and "sudo apt-get update" [14:05] wvdial && sudo apt-get update [14:05] ShawnRisk: good luck [14:05] or something like that [14:05] <[segfault]> [eXception]: so, I take it, that worked? :) [14:05] robdig: thanks [14:05] ruan: except that that would wait for wvdial to end before running sudo apt-get update [14:05] Gartral , we doubt that he wants a usb flash bootable ubuntu with more that one kernel... :) [14:05] gah, hmm [14:06] erUSUL: i get nothing ;/ [14:06] mtlife: indeed [14:06] mindware: ahh! not unless he plans on keeping one for a specific arch. [14:06] [segfault]: hm, i got it. wvdial & is what i wanted. i just got confused by the stdout stuff [14:06] [segfault]: i assumed it wasn't going to let me type :P [14:06] thanks [segfault] and ruan [14:06] erUSUL: other ideas? === _evilpleasure is now known as evilpleasure [14:07] <[segfault]> airwork: that's the whole point of '&'. it works great to start something going and then gives you back control. :) [14:07] ok hes gone. [14:07] <[segfault]> yep === Dink[a] is now known as Dink [14:08] Gartral true :) but if that was the case..he would have known how much of a /boot to make... :D [14:08] What package do I need for do-release-upgrade? [14:09] Hello,everyone .I found that the default permission mode of home derectory for a new user in ubuntu is 755. And anyone else can read it .How can i change this default behaviour? [14:09] Hey all [14:09] afternoon [14:09] <[eXception]> <[segfault]>: i guess so.. it still has some strange behavior.. but I think its my app [14:09] BluesKaj hey! [14:09] mtlife: nope :( [14:09] i need very simple ide for pascal [14:09] i need very simple ide for pascal& [14:09] @apporc To change for every new user created, or a specific existing user? [14:09] i need very simple ide for pascal&? [14:10] mark shuttleworth won't stop reading my e-mails [14:10] mtlife: does the partition belong to a raid array or something? [14:10] first_time, dont repeat [14:10] first_time ...don't push it..! [14:10] qubitar, wrong channel [14:10] the_real_dave:a new user created [14:10] erUSUL: no, no raid array. just default ext4 partition. [14:10] first_time google it.. [14:10] mindware: now that is never helpful [14:10] mindware, please never suggest that here [14:11] google is the devil [14:11] not lazarus something else [14:11] bing it [14:11] Hello,everyone .I found that the default permission mode of home derectory for a new user in ubuntu is 755. And anyone else can read it .How can i change this default behaviour? [14:11] apporc: Easiest way is to run gksudo nautilus, browse to the directory /home, then right click, change the permissions [14:11] apporc: you can change the umask in /etc/profile [14:11] oCean , bazhang ok,sorry, but i had to reply the way he deserved... [14:11] mindware, that is never appropriate here [14:12] <[segfault]> first_time: how about gedit? it has modes for a lot of languages as a simple ide [14:12] I still found that in other distribution such as redhat suse ,the default permission of a new user's home directory is 700. [14:12] How can that be? [14:12] I modified keys in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but changes are ignored when I restart kdm, did I miss something? [14:12] apporc: Right click on the folder, click properties, go to the permissions tab and change it to what you'd like [14:12] first_time ,listen to [segfault] and i'm not kidding [14:12] erUSUL: Well, if you are out of ideas im gonna post on a forum for some help. Thanks for your time anyway:) [14:12] <[segfault]> first_time: just open gedit, then go to View/Highlight Mode/Sources/Pascal [14:12] apporc: or if you don't want it to be global, you can add a .profile to /etc/skel with the umask you want for new users [14:13] If it is because of the umask of /etc/profile.how to change it . [14:13] apporc: I'm not sure why it's that by default >.> [14:13] mtlife: no problem [14:13] I know how to change it manually.but what i care is its default behaviour. [14:13] apporc or get a terminal and write sudo chmod 700 /home [14:13] I opened update manager and it said there was a google chrome stable update so i updated it and now dpkg is frozen/locked and it's stuck at "unpacking replacement google-chrome-stable". Update manager won't close :( [14:13] Anyone know what I can do? [14:14] apporc:Then I'm not sure tbh [14:14] i think the default permission mode of a new users home directory is none of the root's umask value. [14:14] apporc: you could change that in /etc/adduser.conf [14:14] haxd reboot for first [14:14] apporc: see DIR_MODE [14:14] haxd, http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/apt-get-how-to-fix-very-broken-packages/ [14:14] adduser.conf? [14:14] kill -9 won't even close it! [14:14] wtf [14:14] haxd: mind the language [14:15] sorry I am a programmer [14:15] :P [14:15] Yeah ,i have seen that. === krabbe is now known as Krabbe [14:15] [segfault]: but gedit don't compiles cod [14:15] oCean:thanks. [14:15] salut @ tous ! [14:15] thank you all. === herton is now known as herton_lunch [14:15] <[segfault]> first_time: well, you will have to do that, of course with the pascal compiler you are running, but it is a great ide on its own [14:15] !fr > agw [14:15] agw, please see my private message [14:16] haxd: how long has it been "stuck" ? [14:16] ok [14:16] how can i specify nfs mounts on a laptop that only activate if the network is there? [14:16] <[segfault]> first_time: if you look under gedit preferences, there is a plugin that you can use to execute external commands from within gedit, so you can just do it that way. [14:16] IdleOne: 20 minutes [14:17] haxd, seen the link? [14:17] update manager just quit now [14:17] dpkg is still open though [14:17] Abhijit: does not apply to this [14:17] nvm then [14:17] had no errors about "very broken packages" [14:17] hello [14:17] dpkg just froze whilst trying to unpack the package by what i can tell [14:17] I have a file in my /home named .xsession-errors.old size almost 40 GB can i safely remove this file ? [14:18] Asad2005 safely :) [14:18] first_time: here is a link to opensource ides, includes some for pascal. i've not used them, vim is my favorite. http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/firmware-tools-devel/2008-August/000375.html [14:18] qweqweqwe: see the _netdev option in the manpage of mount command. You can use _netdev in /etc/fstab [14:18] <[segfault]> Asad2005: wow.. 40gb.. yeah, but fix the problem that is causing all those errors first if you can :) [14:18] can anybody tell me how to display the data of hindi database in mysql in java in ubuntu [14:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/582106/ < this process is still running after update-manager died [14:19] it is stored in mysql normally bt in java it is not showing in hindi [14:19] and won't be killed [14:19] which would be bad anyway [14:19] what can I do? [14:19] haxd ,really...reboot..nothing is perfect... [14:19] oCean: kind of, but i plug into different networks, i need to know the mount is there, not network in general (close though) [14:20] haxd: nothing but reboot. The D is uninterruptable sleep.. [14:20] himani, try in #ubuntu-in [14:20] qweqweqwe: I don't think there is an option [14:20] why would it get itself into that situation === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [14:20] mindware: [segfault] i have seen this message a lot in .Xsession-errors file "(Pidgin:2036): Json-CRITICAL **: json_node_get_int: assertion `node != NULL' failed" [14:20] what is dis ubuntu-in? [14:20] oCean: seems crazy to me, nfs has been weird about missing shares for over a decade, and it's still not been addressed [14:20] haxd: it is waiting for another process to finish. That other process is probably waiting for i/o wich will never finish [14:20] #ubuntu-cn [14:21] #ubuntu-tw [14:21] qweqweqwe: I agree, but have no solution there :( [14:21] [segfault]: As a start i van delete the file yes? [14:21] can [14:21] as hindi is Unicode so java is not displaying hindi [14:21] Asad2005 stop using pidgin for now, uninstall it ,update x if you can , and try after that [14:21] sigh [14:21] i will be back [14:21] oCean: i hate having to admit such to my windows colleagues, that have never had that problem ;-) === anonymous is now known as Guest59585 [14:22] Here we ago again. The UI completely froze, nothing, no button works, at ALL. I have the latest updates on 10.10 as of 20 minutes ago. What the heck is wrong? This has been happening since 10.04. I think I have a bug report open from the time of the 10.04 release. [14:22] <[segfault]> Asad2005: sure, just copy a bit of the end of it so you have those errors to go from in your search for a fix. [14:22] qweqweqwe: well, you could make it automount [14:22] himani, #ubuntu-in is indian ubuntu channel. if someone else have tried the same think as yours they may know about it. also ask in ##linux-india [14:22] Asad2005 yes ,you can safely delete it...it's just a log ..telling you what errors have been reported [14:23] [segfault]: Its a back up file i have the same file but not ending with .old which has a 183 kb only [14:23] qweqweqwe: Using autofs, a filesystem is not mounted until the mountpoint is accessed. [14:23] so there is no font for this, or you dont know? [14:23] <[segfault]> Asad2005: if you have .xsession-errors in your home dir and it's small, then you don't have anything to worry about, unless it is all from very recently. [14:23] oCean: mm i noticed that, thanks, will read up tomorrow. [14:24] [segfault]:thanks [14:24] robdig:thanks [14:24] !info winetricks [14:24] Package winetricks does not exist in maverick [14:24] [segfault]: I have delete it and now will keep watching the .Xsession-error file thanks === Powerfire is now known as nanp [14:24] Guys, tell me a good female name for my computer's name.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:29] mindware, no. this is NOT the chat channel, and that is not appropriate. [14:29] I got it, thanks [14:29] Hi. Why does dose [14:29] ups [14:29] bazhang sorry [14:29] how do I change channels using smuxi? [14:30] Hi. Why does placing 'export PS1='something' in .bashrc does not 't work? [14:30] Neosano ok man, cut it out.. it was fun..now it's not.. [14:31] peter_felching: .bashrc is only sourced for non-login interactive shells. is yours a login shell? [14:31] <[segfault]> peter_felching: if so, use .bash_profile [14:32] sipior, can you explain the login/non-login concept to me? [14:33] peter_felching, you might want to place that line into .profile [14:33] is winetricks safe to use? [14:33] peter_felching: nothing much to explain, really. you can have a look at the INVOCATION section of the bash manpage, but the distinction comes largely out of historical usage. [14:33] Hedgehog456, if you run it as normal user, and have nothing very important in your .wine, then yes [14:34] Thanks all. [14:34] Sonne: but doesn't it need to be installed as root? [14:35] Hedgehog456, not really [14:35] you should run winetricks with the same user you plan to run wine as [14:37] Hedgehog456: winetricks simply installs windows libraries.

[14:43] So im using a socks5 proxy, and i have a ssh -D 7071 user@myproxy established. Then in my proxy settings i picked socks 5, and 127.0.0.1 port 7071 , and then i said to apply system wide. From my testing, only my http traffic seems to be going through the proxy. Am i understanding this system wide setting wrong?

[17:31] segfault: Is there some type of xorg.conf for Maverick that can be edited, because I might have done that...

I just want to make it more secure and notify me whenever someone tries to access it [17:33] negativeOne: as to stop port scanning, i'm sure there are some more modern tools out there now, the last time i had to do that was in the 90s.

[18:25] i have an esata card that i cant get working, lspci doesnt even see it..... can someone help??? [18:25] <[segfault]> mithridates: well just do 'sudo passwd root' first and give to enable the root account, then logout and login as root from ther.

I guess I don't understand why you can't just completely log out first.. [18:29] mithridates: no, sudo runs a program AS root... you are still logged in as whoever you are logged in as [18:30] milamber, thanks, I'll remember that for future [18:30] sudo apt-get -f [18:30] It says I "don't have permission". [18:30] I guess I can't explain it well, how can I boot ubuntu with root? [18:30] mithridates: right click top right menu -> log out [18:30] just for the sake of saying it, ubuntu officially does not recommend doing anything as root [18:30] mithridates: choose rescue mode from the grub menu [18:30] and there's probably no reason to do so [18:31] milamber: just for the sake of renaming my current user I recommend it to ubuntu to let me do that [18:31] psusi: that's a good solution [18:31] <[segfault]> mithridates: just open a virtual console with ctrl-alt-f1 and log in. username:root password:yourrootpassword [18:31] thanks [18:31] danandrichelle, open terminal , then sudo nautilus , you are now root , be carefull, now browse to archive and extract [18:31] [segfault]: there is no root password by default, and setting one is ill advised [18:31] gksudo nautilus. [18:31] thanks [18:31] <[segfault]> psusi: he already has one set, from what I understand.. [18:32] !gksudo [18:32] [segfault]: that's not possible because my goal is renaming my current default user, and if it's logged in it will not let me to rename it [18:32] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:32] how do i check how much space is left on my hdd? [18:32] with out the command line? [18:32] [segfault]: doesn't sound like it [18:32] gksudo , then :) [18:32] is there any reason why not to use Ubuntu 64-bit?

[18:32] mithridates: is there not another user you can log in as instead of the current one you want to rename? [18:33] psusi: no there is not, I guess that rescue mode is the best one [18:33] mithridates: you can do it without being root, http://www.go2linux.org/how-to-kill-users-processes [18:33] psusi: if it doesn't force me to log in by default user [18:33] mithridates: either rescue mode, or MAKE another user you can log in as, make it an admin, then log in as that user and rename the first [18:33] ruan ty [18:33] <[segfault]> mithridates: it seems like the simplest method is like psusi says, just boot into recovery mode and do it there.

This will remove the ability to boot to the other setups, but the os-prober can be put back if needed.

[19:52] nit-wit, but the grub is on the flash drive... [19:52] mongy, right.

[19:59] crash1hd: you need to unmount them before you can eject it [19:59] azizLIGHTS: that should be fine then [19:59] ikonia: i think erssaid something of .ssh/ dir chmod [19:59] properties [19:59] azizLIGHTS: chmod 600 /home/ubuntu/ssh [19:59] azizLIGHTS: chmod 600 /home/ubuntu/.ssh (sorryt typo~) [19:59] oh ok [20:00] my metacity is toast, it's not loading on login.. [20:00] ikonia: shouldn't that be 700? [20:00] I'm installing 10.04 server from USB. However, when it comes to detecting the CDROM installation media, it fails. Obviously since its not a CDROM. Any ideas? [20:00] rww: 600 will work fine [20:00] 700 is fine too [20:00] ikonia: when I set directories to 600, I can't cd into them. [20:00] hi @ all ive got an avm fritz wlan usb stick 1.1. The extre [20:01] rww: as long as your the owner that should be fine [20:01] FLeiXiuS, did you use startup disk creator to make it?

[20:01] ikonia: I am the owner. Not being able to cd into, or write into for that matter, directories seems sub-optimal. [20:02] hmmm [20:02] ikonia, cause my fstab only has 1 cdrom listed shouldnt it have 2? [20:02] write to it can be a problem however as he's got write permissions on known _hosts it should be a problem [20:02] ExplodingFist Canada OWNS [20:02] azizLIGHTS: set it to 700 then [20:02] crash1hd: forget your fstab, it's delt with by the gnome desktop [20:03] ok ikonia i changed it back to chmod 700: drwx------ 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4.0K Mar 12 18:33 .ssh/ [20:03] couldnt still ssh into it either with 600 [20:03] ikonia, ok just wondering about this line> /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [20:03] azizLIGHTS: what user are you trying to ssh in as [20:03] this goes away when i remove g+w on /home/ubuntu, then i can ssh in [20:03] ubuntu [20:03] Is there a keyboard shortcut to get tm symbols on Ubuntu? [20:04] ubuntu@myhost [20:04] azizLIGHTS: group write is not on that directory so it shouldn't matter [20:04] yes this is true. so am not sure whats going on:S [20:05] azizLIGHTS: erm, you're positive the issue only occurs with g+w on /home/ubuntu? You've toggled this setting now several times and can reproduce results verifying that? [20:05] Where do i find GCC's include files like stdio.h, stdlib.h? [20:05] On my system with gcc installed === Guest56202 is now known as DarkDevil === DarkDevil is now known as Guest37538 [20:06] EClaesson: /usr/include but why...?

I see black screen after grub, no errors. === Guest37538 is now known as DarkDevil [21:07] gerrin: I'm out of ideas. You should have something in ~/.local/applications (For Gnome) but for some reason, you don't. [21:07] what could happen if I run kill -9 init* [21:07] gerrin: Have you tried restarting since you did an upgrade? [21:07] nerdshell: the system woudl die.. === DarkDevil is now known as Guest4993 [21:07] gerrin: updated your system* [21:07] red2kic: yes i have, hasnt fixed it [21:07] nerdshell: All the upstart jobs won't have a way to start,end, or be triggered by other events [21:08] genii-around: and? reboot? no? === Axlin is now known as Axlin|AFK [21:08] jrib: Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/ubuntu [21:08] red2kic: so basically im pretty much gonna have to do a frest install to fix it? [21:08] do chrome addons work in chromium, or does chromium have its own set of addons? [21:08] mongy, do I have to assume that my card drivers are already installed? [21:08] motz, yes. itd active. [21:08] its* [21:08] ok [21:09] mongy, then now I have to give: sudo apt-get install dvb-utils vlc [21:09] genii-around: and? reboot? no? [21:09] right? [21:09] nerdshell: Probably more like a lockup. But i haven't tried it [21:09] azizLIGHTS: hmm, that's weird because I can g+w /home/jrib here and still ssh. Maybe the #openssh guys will have a better idea [21:09] gerrin: No. I doubt it. I don't really know if upgrading few packages have to do with it. From past experiences, it have to do with users accidentally did something. [21:10] genii-around: thanks ;) [21:10] Someone help with mount error: Wrong fs type..... [21:10] gerrin: New packages could be red herrings. The problem is that you could did something and assume it had to do with *that* new packages. [21:10] motz, if you are following that guide, yes. [21:10] genii-around: I wont try it, just wanted to know ;) [21:10] red2kic: all i did was the update, i turned it on ran the update manager, restarted the laptop, all i did [21:10] gerrin: Try creating a new user and go in. See if the problem went away. If it did, then it may be something in your /home/gerrin [21:11] jrib: ok ty. this ssh via keys is important or me. if theres another way to gie user 'dropbox' read/write access to my dir /home/ubuntu ould be nice.. [21:11] gerrin: Guest mode. (I think Ubuntu have that?) [21:11] red2kic: ok ill give that a try [21:11] azizLIGHTS: well I can think of two workarounds: put 1) your keys elsewhere 2) Try ACLs instead [21:11] mongy, apt-get says that dvb-apps has to be installed istead of dvb-utils [21:11] motz, ok [21:12] lol jrib using user dropbox is already a workaround ... ill add another layer of workarounds now eh? [21:12] gerrin: You could try "mv ~/.local ~/.local-backup" -- then log out. Log in. See if that solves. It's one of the files -- but we can't find them. It's usually in ~/.local/share/applications. [21:13] I have a persistent live usb stick with ubuntu. Now I'd like to mount the necrypted home folder of my notebooks harddrive... how does that work? [21:13] red2kic: ok ill try that first [21:14] mongy, Though, when I wanted to start doing some work, while still watching TV, it was a little annoying that I couldn’t find anyway of watching the TV in a window–only fullscreen. Is it really so with MythTV? [21:14] hi all [21:15] motz: No TV = More Work. [21:15] how do i get the bar on the right hand side that shows how much cpu etc is being used? [21:15] it appears on the right hand side [21:15] Psydoll, conky [21:15] red2kic: hey that fixed it, sweet thanks, now how can i keep that from happening again lol [21:15] motz, fullscreen only. its more of a full on tv replacement, I love it. [21:15] bazhang is that a program? [21:15] or i type conky into terminal? [21:15] Psydoll, you mean the one embedded in the screen? [21:15] motz, tho I do switch workspaces occassionaly and glance that way. [21:15] bazhang yes [21:16] gerrin: You may noticed that some default settings have been "lost" -- It's not. It's in ~/.local-backup now. [21:16] azizLIGHTS: also read about StrictModes in « man sshd » and « man sshd_config » [21:16] Psydoll, you need to configure it after installation; there's a great beginners guide at ubuntuforums sharing such config files [21:16] gerrin: Generally, all personal configurations occurs in ~/.local (or ~/.config). It vary on applications. [21:17] azizLIGHTS: though I have strictmodes no and I can ssh with g+w ~... weird [21:17] bazhang i thought it was built in feature [21:17] red2kic: ok well thanks for your help, really appreciate it [21:17] azizLIGHTS: I mean, I have StrictModes yes [21:17] gerrin: It's just something I can't explain. You can't find the file so we can't delete the file. We nuked the folder. [21:17] gerrin: We moved the folder. You log out and in. There are new ~/.local [21:17] gerrin: Anyway. Cheers. Glad to hear that. :) [21:18] red2kic: im just glad i didnt lose any files lol [21:18] gerrin: :) [21:18] motz, me-tv is a nice simple program. https://launchpad.net/~me-tv-development/+archive/ppa [21:18] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867076 Psydoll [21:18] mongy, I try it [21:19] red2kic: one more question, ive noticed, that some of my icons in the top panel have moved, and they are supposed to be locked, how can i reset the panel [21:20] red2kic: i used to know but forgot [21:20] Help!

[21:40] waseem: depending on which nvidia driver you're putting on, they often check for incompatible files themselves [21:40] :( [21:40] Alessio check the hardware cables first. See if the cables are loose.

For some reason, pretty much every progrma I run seemingly randomly stop responding quite frequently and begin responding again after a while. Don't know if it's related, but apt-get unpacking packages also takes ages. Windows works fine, as does ubuntu running under a VM on windows. Any idea where to start looking at this?

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [22:15] login [22:17] bezao: your hosting service may not allow you to do anything with iptables. mine restricts anything i can do that would affect another user on the system [22:18] i think no, since it's an separated 'box', i have my own ip that i need to block [22:18] since i can rebuild the vps anytime, it doesnt affect other users robdig [22:19] is it just me or have there been several packages lately that are missing files? [22:19] I updated coreutils, and now paste can't be found [22:20] bezao: ah, i see. i learned the hard way when i wanted to make some changes to mysql that my host wouldn't go for it. sorry that i don't have anything for you. [22:20] ubuntu tells me that paste is part of the coreutils package, but when I examine the files in coreutils, paste isn't among them. [22:20] robdig hehe np [22:20] that's why vps is good, you can fuck it up, then click to rebuild and everything is ok :) [22:21] camden: what version (coreutils) did you update to?

[22:31] joshmclvl1: so do I :-) [22:31] motz: open terminal [22:31] ilovefairuz: he apparently already tried that [22:31] type "free -m" [22:31] nit-wit, got my flash working... started to trouble shoot until I logged into my sound server and turned up the volume... lol => thanks again for your help :) [22:32] why cant i install the both drivers, that i got? [22:32] fizy[laptop]: use nmcli? im not too sure about starting NetworkManager and dbus and all from the command line though =s [22:32] fizy[laptop]: cnetworkmanager [22:32] guntbert, free says I have 800 MB Ram, which is strange, because at the beginning I had 1 Gb and now I should have 2 Gb [22:32] motz: output of 'free -m' in the "Mem:" row and "total" column should be 1 more GB than before [22:32] ilovefairuz: command not found [22:33] oCean: looks like manually downloading the package and installing it with dpkg -i fixed the issue [22:33] guntbert: a dpkg --set-selections (hold) does not prevent the actual package from showing up as available for update? [22:33] budgee, total is 801 [22:33] camden: wow, okay [22:33] motz: next step: reboot and look into the bios: maybe it isn#t recognized at all [22:33] motz: then you dunnit wrong [22:33] fizy[laptop]: what ubuntu version are you running? [22:33] ilovefairuz: 10.04 [22:33] oCean: this isn't the first I've seen this. last month desktop-file-utils failed to upgrade because one of it's required files didn't update with the package [22:33] guntbert, if it isn't recognized, what should I do in bios? [22:33] motz: is it the correct memory? is it seated correctly? [22:34] oCean: same story, file should have been in the package, but wasn't. [22:34] oCean: ah, in fact, it's still happening [22:34] budgee, the memory was delivered to me together with the laptop, so I suppose it the correct memory [22:34] oCean: if "hold" does essentially the same as "lock" in synaptic, then "no", but I will try [22:34] oCean: /var/lib/dpkg/info/desktop-file-utils.postinst: 4: update-desktop-database: not found [22:34] fizy[laptop]: it's available for maverick only, not lucid (10.04) [22:34] motz: ok, did you install it correctly. did it click into place, no gaps etc? [22:35] budgee, yes, it clicked [22:35] hmm [22:35] motz: what make of notebok? [22:35] budgee, but, apart from that, why do I have now 800 Mb instead of 1 Gb? [22:35] one more question. how do i kill the gui once i get it running to connect the wifi? i have almost no ram on my laptop, so cli is way better for me [22:35] budgee, lenovo b560 [22:36] how do i undo "adduser dropbox" command [22:36] budgee, do exist ram bars of 800 Mb? [22:36] oCean: same fix worked too [22:36] motz: nope, not that i know of [22:37] fizy[laptop]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo#WPA%20Supplicant [22:37] so why free says that the total is 801? [22:37] motz: if you take it out and reboot, does it go back to 1G? [22:37] fizy[laptop]: and you could use a very lightweight window manager like awesome or wmii if you have little ram [22:37] camden: I'm not on maverick, so I can not check if this issue exists here. You might want to file a bug, or at least browse launchpad for bugs.. [22:38] fizy[laptop]: but to stop X, use: sudo service gdm stop [22:38] i mean how do i undo the command "adduser dropbox ubuntu" first, then undo "adduser dropbox" ? [22:38] ilovefairuz: nah, id rather use a virtual terminal. it makes me feel like the true linux hacker badass i am [22:38] oCean: willdo === Guest95250 is now known as ogra [22:39] budgee, no, it was 800 Mb already before the installation [22:39] budgee, I think now it clicked better and deeper [22:40] Motz is the new memory module the same type at the same Hz? [22:40] motz: if 200M of your memory is being shared with the graphics card, that could explain the 800M [22:40] Curly_Q, I don't know but I suppose so, because I ordered it just together with the laptop [22:40] budgee, ok, thank you for the explanation [22:41] budgee, ok, now the total is 1800 [22:41] guys, i am getting this: "WARN: / is world writable!" and when i tried to create a dir in / as regular user it lets me do it. What are the correct permissions for it? [22:41] Motz, the fact is that if you put two dissimilar memory modules in the slots but they both are not the same Hz, the one with the slowest Hz will be your RAM settings. [22:41] ok [22:41] metallico: you need to edit permissions on the directory ? [22:42] on / [22:42] It is recommended to put the exact RAM modules in the slots so they run in Parallel. [22:42] something changed it to 777, dont know what [22:42] motz: what did you do? ensure it was properly reseated? [22:42] hi all, I'm new to ubuntu, coming from fedora where chkconfig manages what services run at what runlevel. is there an equivalent for ubuntu? [22:43] budgee, yes, I unmounted and than mounted again [22:43] hi anyone here know whats would be a good easy to use program on ubuntu 8.4 for makeing Screen capture/Screenshots [22:43] oldschool: scrot ? [22:44] oldschool: gnome-screenshot [22:44] if you're in gnome [22:44] oCean: in my case that seems not to help because I am talking about kernel versions, and they don't replace each other but just get added :-) [22:44] Oh Motz, I had this problem a long time ago with a SCSI server. I had to append in the boot config file the RAM allocation. Check that. [22:45] daftykins whats scrot [22:45] a screenshot app [22:45] guntbert: ah :( [22:45] Curly_Q, I solved the problem.

And I also notice that if I change the 'Ad-Hoc' option to 'Infrastructure' the greyed out option disappears (and now I can *try* to connect to it as if it's a hidden wireless connection) [23:24] is it possible to do a netinstall with the live cd for 10.04 lts? [23:25] What is the defualt updater called. [23:25] moz, here [23:25] gnome-update? [23:25] ubuntu-update? [23:25] Curly_Q about vlc would it take screen shots something like this does it have a option http://lookpic.com/c1/i2/2780/RqioLbSE.jpeg [23:25] Fun error here : unable to handle kernel paging request 00001ff0, As usual I ran a memtest to see what's happening, and so far turned up no errors. What else could possbly be causing it? [23:25] Somelauw, update-manager [23:26] Thanks and what is the program called that start update-manager once in a while? [23:26] motz, sudo ppa-purge me-tv-development [23:27] Somelauw, err. Not sure. but surely you can cron that ;) [23:27] Oldschool try looking at this site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig2HVCZnAl4 [23:27] hi .. i have jack running and use pulse jack sink.. it works fine.i installed wine 1.2 and set in audio to jack..message appears in jack alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 83.545 msecs JackAudioDriver::ProcessAsync: read error, skip cycle JackPosixMutex::Unlock res = 1 [23:27] How can I resize Docky? [23:27] Hi all. Coming here as a last resort. Running natty for a while. Had black screen on boot errors for the last day or so. Updated just now which seemed to fix it. It boots further than before but still eventual black screen. On intel 915 chip. Any pointers? [23:27] is port 53 essential for Ubuntu apt-get to work? [23:27] motz, then sudo apt-get update, then install me-tv [23:27] pwnsauce, #ubuntu+1 for natty [23:27] mongy, ok [23:28] Thanks bazhang [23:28] gksudo doesn't seem to work when using awesome? [23:28] pwnsauce, check dmesg for "handle kernel paging" === Smith is now known as Guest00001 [23:28] How can I change size of Docky, instead of going across whole page side but less. === Guest00001 is now known as MrSmith [23:29] nick/ X [23:30] tripperhapp, no mention of said message in dmesg === MrSmith is now known as Ty86 [23:30] pwnsauce, then a different error to what I'm seeing, cant help ya on tht :s [23:30] triggerhapp, thanks anyway. I'll move to the +1 room [23:31] Someone must know? [23:31] By the way I found that on GOOGLE. hehe [23:31] good old google [23:31] any easy way to compile 2.6.38 with the same config as the shipped kernels? [23:32] do you have it installed on a system? If so, you can switch to the src directory and issue 'make oldconfig' [23:32] I don't have the dev pieces installed, no. Just the current pae 32 bit kernel. [23:33] precompiled, etc. Just the usual one. [23:33] chh: do you have the src installed? If not, install the kernel sources, if so....just switch to the dir and do that make. make oldconfig creates a config that conforms to the installed kernel [23:33] Well that is to say I'm running on this, Linux at 2.6.35-27-generic-pae #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 21:46:58 UTC 2011 i686 [23:34] th0r, Ok :) what's the metapackage for the standard gcc dev tools and so on? [23:34] How can I change the size of Docky? [23:34] I'm getting ~ 3Mbps on my ubuntu rig VS ~15 Mbps on my windows machine. both connected to the same wireless router. can someone help me diagnose ? [23:35] chh: I think all you will need is build-essential and kernel sources, but I am not sure....been ages since I messed with that [23:35] KramB, pretty certain that's in the docky preferences [23:35] where can I find packages for the 2.6.36 kernel ? [23:35] th0r, all right! Great. -But the kernel sources for the running kernel aswell? I've got the 2.6.38 already but do I need the souce for the running one? [23:36] motz, cant guarantee it will have the same features.. as I say, mythtv has everything I need...I dont need to watch fullscreen either, I do a quick click/compiz scale to view it. [23:36] Curly_Q thanks this help :) [23:36] I remember someone the other day told me about an awesome audio player for ubuntu [23:36] I don't think the config for the old kernel can be used with the new. But if you can find someone who has the new kernel installed, their config should work for you [23:36] Anyone know what it is? (a tad open ended, i know) [23:37] pwnsauce: You mean right-click settings? That's where I go to, and it is not there [23:37] th0r, I'll probe my logs and see what pieces I really use. And I'll experiment from zero instead. Thanks a bunch though. [23:37] hey gang, i need a program to set up a mouse macro to click certain parts of the screen at certain intervals. any ideas? [23:38] its not possible to have a .file and .dir/ of the same name in a dir? === fernando is now known as Guest35188 [23:38] mongy, I reinstalled me-tv via apt-get and the fullscreen still doesn't work. So I installed mythtv [23:38] skxx in a browser? [23:38] azizLIGHTS: no [23:38] but mythtv doesn't see the card [23:38] mongy, any hint? [23:38] motz, it does... I use the same card [23:39] KramB, right-click the docky tab on the far left of the dock? sorry, I'm not on my machine that's running docky [23:39] skxx or systemwide? [23:39] motz, you need to set it up a bit first [23:39] motz, follow the first link I gave you [23:39] mouse: systemwide would be preferable but browser works too [23:39] which one? [23:39] pwnsauce: All I get is Settings, no perferences. [23:39] motz, http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php [23:39] chh: I have messed with the configs...no problem so long as you don't install the new (iffy) kernel as default. You can set the individual items b y issuing 'make menuconfig' in the src dir [23:39] skxx firefoxx addon imacro [23:39] Yup, settings. [23:39] systemwide i do not know so far [23:40] mouse: much appreciated man, thx [23:40] th0r, yeah great. No I'll only aim for that stable kernel. [23:40] chh: just don't change your default kernel until you have a working new kernel and you are absolutely sure everything works [23:40] KramB, up should come a settings box, and you can tweak lots of things there [23:40] th0r, I wont [23:40] motz, its pretty easy.. he even uses haupage [23:40] chh: if I remember right, menuconfig has defaults for every itme [23:40] Hi all [23:40] (item) [23:40] motz, you might have to use different options with non-uk tv. [23:41] th0r, ok :) Thanks [23:41] I have problems with the pae kernel : the system is extremely slow [23:41] skxx shellscript would work [23:41] is mirc really as funny as bash.org implies ? [23:41] pwnsauce: All I can do is change the theme of it, icon size, and that's about it. [23:41] for systemwide [23:42] KramB, sorry, what exactly do you want to do with it again?

[23:42] pwnsauce: I want to change the size of it, instead of extending across all of one side. more like ini middle [23:42] KramB, in settings, is "Panel Mode" checked? [23:43] Hey ive got a question about a new ubuntu install, any help? [23:43] isn't there a 32bit version of the server????? [23:43] pwnsauce. :s Lol...I feel so stupid. Thanks mate. [23:43] KramB, simple fix. Enjoy. :) [23:43] morax, shoot.... [23:44] I'll pester again, I'm getting kernal page handle errors, but a memtest shows no defect in the memory, what else should I be looking at? [23:44] the mouse pointer in the os , it only clicks on a link when you point it high [23:44] any link, internet or otherwise [23:44] Oldschool, your welcome. [23:44] morax, what version are you running? [23:45] i'm not sure..but i'm downloading it again [23:45] Should I keep my task list or use docky as that? [23:45] is anyone able to help me with something? [23:45] Personal opinions. [23:45] morax, no need.... [23:45] sn00pdigg: with what? [23:45] morax, have you updated fully once you installed? [23:45] trying to install a "windows only" prog on my ubuntu machine... [23:46] yeah [23:46] win xp doesnt do that [23:46] its werid [23:46] sn00pdigg, have a look at installing "wine" [23:46] did [23:46] sn00pdigg, used AppDB website? [23:46] when i double click the file, it produces error [23:46] sn00pdigg, what's the error? [23:46] will i get kicked for flooding? [23:47] sn00pdigg: yes, use pastebin [23:47] morax, sounds like a bug? Make sure you've updated fully and have restarted ther machine [23:47] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not [23:47] a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the [23:47] latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on [23:47] the last disk(s) of this archive. [23:47] maroc [23:47] sn00pdigg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:47] * rww facepalms [23:47] sorry guys... [23:47] heh [23:47] "yes, use pastebin" does not mean "no, go right ahead!" [23:48] i tihnk i tried that [23:48] sn00pdigg, is the file an *.exe? [23:48] yes [23:48] any kind of mouse settigns that might help? [23:48] sn00pdigg, you need to tell it to open with wine [23:48] exe's will open as a zip file normally [23:48] right. right [23:48] okay [23:48] i'm a retard [23:48] sn00pdigg, tripperhapp is right [23:48] Personal opinions: Should I use my Task List or Docky? [23:48] pwnsauce, sorry, stole your thunder ;) [23:48] glad you guys are here... how would i do that? [23:48] tripperhapp, no prob. :) [23:48] sn00pdigg, normally, right click and choose "open with wine" or some such [23:49] the fullscreen problem could be caused by vdpau driver. It is suggested to switch to xv. How can I do it? [23:49] oh... i don't think i had that option. will check [23:49] morax, sorry, I can't help without seeing your screen personally [23:49] okay, thanks anyway [23:49] Kramb, personally Docky is the one for me === int3nz0r is now known as int3nz0r`zZzZz [23:50] hmmm... doesn't seem to allow me the option to run with wine [23:50] pwnsauce: Hi. :D how can I change the theme of it? It is rather dull, do you know? Not pre-installed ones. [23:50] KramB, same place... in the settings tab. [23:51] pwnsauce: No. :s Like ones I can download. [23:51] KramB, sorry, I misread.

[23:55] Paul6253: You will have to do it manually. [23:55] Paul6253, I really hate to say it but you should probably see the java site to manually install [23:55] usr13, ninja'd :3 [23:55] Paul6253: I believe we already talked about how your Ubuntu 8.10 isn't supported here. Please stop asking for support here. [23:56] hello i have a quick question about post ubuntu installation...........

[23:56] ok [23:56] yeah but rww...I'm not asking for ubuntu support per se...I mean should I not be able to run the same 'old' version software that 'WAS' working for 8.10 before? [23:57] triggerhapp, not sure like maybe archive features and all sorts of stuff like that [23:57] elijahblake: are codecs in question [23:57] Paul6253: No, because EOL repositories are removed from the mirror system. [23:57] Paul6253: Do you know how old 8.10 is?
