[00:09] pulseaudio [00:10] How would i add Windows partition to Grub that's on a seperate H/D [00:10] pp7, really? There's no pulseaudio process running, but yet I get sound... [00:10] hmm [00:10] alsa? [00:11] will alsa have a process listed in ps ax [00:11] not sure [00:11] yay ubuntu rox, if anyone wants to know how to setup auto system updates heres the info: http://pleasanthacking.com/2011/03/31/easy-ubuntu-updates/ :) [00:12] rooks: auto system updates????!?!??! ROFL [00:13] xd, changing to ubuntu to rolling release? [00:13] pp7, whut? [00:13] rooks: take that page down LOL [00:13] pp7, what? seriously? [00:13] (pp7): lol, I was like I thought I was in the wrong channel, archlinux does that [00:13] well in my experience updates always seem to screw something up [00:13] i'd rather know what is being updated [00:14] same [00:14] xd [00:14] pp7, this is why you have mail system to see what is going on, duh [00:14] yea but wouldnt u want to know *before* the update? [00:14] pp7, i actually dont, i know what packages i installed on my sys [00:14] that's what dependency list are for [00:15] rooks: good luck :P [00:15] pp7, and i have email with each update stored safely in case i need to figure out what went wrong [00:15] pp7, sorry, but take your FUD to someone who will listen to it :P [00:15] ROFL [00:16] indeed :) [00:16] just trying to save people from disaster on their next reboot [00:16] hey there, for a problem with ultilex where can I ask? [00:16] pp7, never happened when i just press update all on popping up window [00:16] pp7: but there is much more entertainment value the other way [00:16] th0r: LOL [00:16] pp7, so rly, its just fear youre spreading [00:17] rooks: whatever [00:17] rooks: or maybe common sense [00:17] :P [00:17] whats the deal with that remote application testing before install? [00:18] is it to save bandwidth from the mirrors? [00:18] th0r, you mean its better to sit around your desktop and manually click update all, instead of having a system to do it for you and send you a mail on how things went? [00:18] madprops, to see if someone like them i think, to not mess up system with uninstalls i presume [00:19] rooks: a manual click isn't all that hard [00:19] rooks: that's exactly what I mean. I would never run an unattended update...and would be surprised to see one occur without major problems [00:19] th0r, youre living in fear. ive been running my home linux box on auto updates for about a year without any problem [00:20] rooks: good for you....I have run linux since Slaxware 1.0 and have learned better [00:20] rooks: he's living in common sense [00:20] th0r, name one serious issue that popped up during update of desktop pls [00:20] pp7, , name one serious issue that popped up during update of desktop pls [00:20] ok... [00:20] rooks: loss of wifi, loss of video drivers, loss of network connectivity....shall I go on [00:20] (rooks): xd, I've been running ubuntu without auto updates, it's excellent, I guess different niche to different people [00:20] rooks, funny I updated my linux and it completely messed everything. [00:20] today [00:21] rooks: xfs had a bug which caused any qt app that was launched to crash gdm [00:21] luckily someone here knew about it otherwise it would have been reinstall time!! :P [00:21] rooks: of course, you can always ssh into the unattended computer and fix it. No wait....you wouldn't be able to, would you [00:21] im running stock plain ubuntu, no problems here, even when i have my desktop without hdd, netboothed from my linux box [00:21] i just update all the stuff, sometimes it breaks, the next time it fixes [00:22] its an ongoing thing [00:22] So what are you going to do, see what the list of updates is and then do research on each one to see if there are any known issues? [00:23] I have a distro based on ubuntu, so auto-updates are a no-no. [00:23] i only update if there is a pressing reason for it otherwise forget it [00:23] th0r, does any of that issues you mentioned actually happened to you on stock ubuntu desktop? (non kde, non strange filesystems for root) [00:23] yeah [00:23] rooks: yep for me [00:23] rooks: all the time. If you spend any time at all here you will encounter plenty of problems that were caused by updates [00:24] rooks: noone's trying to badmouth Ubuntu, just updates sometimes break things [00:24] rooks: and if you aren't around when those things break the system comes down and waits for you to fix it [00:25] updates can break stuff, with any OS. [00:25] happens on any OS [00:25] :) [00:25] th0r, ive been running desktop linux for quite a while, even on archlinux stuff was fairly stable, ubuntu is rock solid for me [00:25] lol [00:25] Any OS ? [00:25] I beg to differ. [00:25] maybe not mac's :p [00:25] th0r, and really, if the mail was sent with what was updated you know where to look for problems [00:25] rooks: your experience doesnt negate all others [00:25] rooks: yeah....whenever you get back to the computer [00:25] I've never had any breaks with BSD/Nix* [00:26] Caused by updates anyway [00:26] DavidS, what version do you use? and how is the support for hardware vs linux? [00:26] Version of what [00:26] maybe running a backup before an update is a good answer [00:27] BSD [00:27] FreeBSD [00:27] I lost wifi in ubuntu one time due to a kernel update. All I had to do was reboot with the old kernel, something I couldn't do if the update was 'unattended' [00:27] oh :( [00:27] DavidS, yeah, neither me, so i made a blog article on how to have it automated and not thing about it anymore http://pleasanthacking.com/2011/03/31/easy-ubuntu-updates/ [00:27] rooks, only an idiot can't use ubuntu. [00:27] Sorry. [00:27] thats not very nice. [00:28] Well, if you can read you can use any distribution [00:28] why? [00:28] It's a fact of being lazy [00:28] And people are [00:28] vhd: why? [00:28] pp7, why what? [00:28] DavidS, yeah, its for making stuff pleasant and automated, with some sort of log to figure out what went wrong in case things do go wrong [00:28] vhd: is it not nice that only an idiot *can't* use ubuntu ? [00:29] rooks, Linux is plenty documented enough [00:29] pp7, I'm not saying ubuntu is difficult. I just don't like the term idiot :p [00:30] ok, bbl [00:30] especially when its in the context of someone trying to be helpful. [00:30] Docs are there for a reason. [00:30] yeah.. what im saying days of hand-prodding stuff are over, no need to browse web with telnet [00:31] What are you talking about === jco is now known as Guest69741 [00:32] DavidS, about doing more with less. [00:32] so... Natty or Sabayon? Should I flip the coin... [00:32] Talking rubbish more like [00:33] shcherbak, Debian or Gentoo? [00:33] DavidS, if you say so... [00:33] I know so [00:33] DavidS, if you say so... [00:33] DavidS: yes [00:34] shcherbak, Depends what you need, i find Sabayon nice and well documented [00:36] DavidS: I think I am in period of "wanting latest out there", so rolling option could be this, but Natty look very promising. I guess it is just stress before release ;) [00:37] shcherbak, It's upto you i don't tend to go for Original distro spin-offs [00:37] I've used Debian for 5 years [00:38] DavidS: But... that is whole thrill! When all works like it should live is boring. [00:39] * madprops wonders if all the candy ubuntu adds to it's interface affects performance [00:39] shcherbak, I use mine for a Desktop i can't afford for a system meltdown [00:40] madprops, Do a benchmark i'd be interested in seeing that [00:41] could someone help me with nm-applet? [00:41] Problem? [00:42] there's a bug with wifi in 11.04 b [00:42] madprops, DavidS : if it uses compiz yes, variations in metacity themes i highly doubt it to render one color over another is talking less than one millisecond [00:42] im testing with natty [00:42] when starting nm-applet it gives error:** Message: applet now removed from the notification area [00:43] jkorkean: join #ubuntu+1 [00:43] lol, no april fools jokes [00:44] jkorkean, have you looked at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1602997 [00:45] vhd: im not getting the gtk-dialog-error [00:46] Can someone give me a hand with vlc nightly repository?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:48] lol [00:48] I wouldn't come to irc if I didn't try google first [00:48] but thanks for that helpful pointer [00:49] whats the problem? [00:49] would anyone be able to tell me how to get a broadcom BCM4401-b0 100base-TX wokring on a dell inspiron 1300 [00:49] the repository vlc lists can't be reached for some reason [00:49] but I can browse it fine in browser [00:49] i'm having a problem installing 10.10, it freezes at the "update-grub" step. Is it a problem with the hard drive? === vale is now known as vale_maio [00:50] how are you trying to install 10.10? [00:50] flopex, the desktop amd64 installer [00:50] whole hard drive? or through partition? [00:50] I have an auto-rooted nook color, 1.1.0 rooted with autorooter 3. [00:50] Wireless seems really flaky. [00:50] flopex, i'm installing grub to the MBR of the entire hard drive, if that's what you're asking [00:50] puff: what rom are you running [00:50] I routinely have to disable/reenable wireless every 10-15 minutes. [00:50] would anyone be able to tell me how to get a broadcom BCM4401-b0 100base-TX wokring on a dell inspiron 1300 [00:51] I'm assuming ext4 journaled format and mounted to "/". Right? [00:51] daniel_ are your drivers updated? [00:52] flopex, actually, / is reiserfs and /home is ext4. === puff` is now known as puff [00:52] yeh [00:52] puff: nevermind then [00:52] I used ext4 and / [00:52] are there restricted drivers available for it? [00:52] flopex, and got the same problem? [00:53] daniel_, Are you connected to the internet right now with that machine? [00:53] DaGeek247, i am using my phones wired tether to get it all updated just cant get the broadcom to turn on it never worked on it when it had windows 2000 so i thought if i put ubuntu it would work fine [00:53] nop. Never got that problem. That is why I'm asking how did you install it, usually the problem is during this step. [00:54] edbian, yes i just finished updated it and i search synaptic for all the bcm drivers [00:54] ubuntu isnt perfect. debian would be more likely to work. [00:54] Can someone give me a hand with a 404 error in sources? [00:54] daniel_, Is this a wired or wireless interface? the bcm4401 ? [00:54] DaGeek247, you think it would work right away [00:55] mchearty, they are no longer available or error when inputing them. [00:55] I cannot figure out why my new wireless card is freezing my netbook on acpi changes, but only some times. It's an AR5B95 [00:55] um this is the thing that pops up on my notification when i am using my phones wired tether (broadcom BCM4401-b0 100base-TX) [00:55] mchearty: pastebin full output [00:55] any idea how to change acpi manually? [00:55] toggle [00:55] edbian, um this is the thing that pops up on my notification when i am using my phones wired tether (broadcom BCM4401-b0 100base-TX) [00:55] i have no idew honestly. but then again, debian doesnt have a release every four years for nothing. [00:56] daniel_, How are you connected to the Inernet? What is the purpose of the phone tether? [00:56] daniel_, can you pastebin the output of sudo lspci -k for me? paste.ubuntu.com [00:56] edbian to make sure i was updated [00:56] jrib: http://pastebin.com/uTcRCC46 [00:57] daniel_, Ahh, so do you know that wired or wifi does not work? [00:57] mchearty: do you see anything interesting in "http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-i386/arch/"? [00:57] Tb0n3: ...change acpi?

[00:57] vhd: there is a lot of noice from other errors, that i havent resolved [00:57] i have ubuntu 10.10 [00:58] ok, what else? [00:58] shcherbak: to be absolutely sure it's the wireless card and what's causing it to freeze, as once it does there's no log or anything [00:58] jrib: I went to 10.10 assuming the repos would be more up to date for vlc but tehy aren't [00:58] mchearty: remove it from your sources.list [00:58] and i kinda messed up with repositories and software in general [00:58] jrib: and add what to replace it? [00:58] mchearty: vlc is in ubuntu's default repositories [00:58] jrib: and it's outdated [00:58] jrib: and I want the nightly build [00:58] edbian, im not sure my friend gave it to me for me to fix it cause it was all messed up but ubuntu fixed everything but the internet conections [00:58] so i need some simple how-to on how to delete it all without loosing any data on my disk [00:58] i need to return to console [00:59] mchearty: then contact videolan or search for a ppa [00:59] jrib: perhaps if the repos could keep up with software releases [00:59] !sru | mchearty [00:59] mchearty: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [00:59] edbian, i dont care if the eithernet works or not i just need the wireless to work [00:59] Tb0n3: Try iwconfig first, you can set power off (power management). [00:59] daniel_, Ummm, ok. Assuming 'it' is the computer. Alright, we'll get wifi to work. You have the machine online right now. Do you know how to pastebin the output of a command? [00:59] shcherbak: set the device to down? [01:00] jrib: the current stable release of vlc outdated in intrepid [01:00] edbian, no let me get on irc on that computer so things will be easier [01:00] shcherbak: I'm using it to connect right now, I've got it working pretty well, but it cannot go to sleep because every few times it freezes [01:00] daniel_, sure. [01:00] mchearty: you aren't using intrepid. And in any case intrepid isn't supported anymore [01:00] jrib: it's dated in lynx too [01:01] mchearty: you also aren't using lucid lynx. But see the information I had ubottu send you about how updates are done in ubuntu [01:01] edbian, ok this is daniel_ [01:01] bill__, hello 'daniel' [01:01] mmkay [01:02] edbian , ok what am i sposed to pastebin [01:02] bill__, open a terminal. applications -> accessories -> terminal and type this: sudo lspci -k and press enter.

I recently downloaded solarized and the author recommends setting the palette if you use vim in terminal mode. However, I don't think any of his palettes support the gnome-terminal.

[01:24] daniel_, It didn't do anything? the icon didn't turn into swirling nonsense or anything? [01:24] phoenixsampras: I just want to get some kind of VPS software running so I can make VPSes, but Xen didn't work. i'm just looking for alternative softwares.

Is there a light on the actual physical port on the laptop? Usually there is a green light indicating that the other end of the wire is plugged into something [01:25] does anyone know a facebook hacker for linux [01:26] Technicus, reflash to the oldest firmware in Windows, it ought to get it going [01:26] shcherbak: http://pastebin.com/9g2FM4cx http://pastebin.com/gbBzyyD6 [01:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1697077 [01:26] edbian, the only light is inside the port and its allways on [01:26] phoenixsampras: Does vmware have a non-gui sort of thing that I can set up? this IS a server i'm on, I can't use GUIs...

[01:32] daniel_, Wired is VERY reliable in linux. I suspect, since you have 2 machines that wireless won't work. And I don't see anything wrong with the ifconfig or lspci that maybe something is wrong with your router [01:34] edbian, well it runs the 360 and my moms comp fine i belive the other computer when i tested wired i used an old cord so i may rety that later and this computer wont conect to anyones wired internet wether with xp or ubuntu [01:34] shcherbak: it's been quite a bit more stable since I installed the newest compat-wireless [01:34] daniel_, than that computer probably has a broken (physical) port [01:35] edbian, thats what i thought but thought ide give one of u computer ppl a try at it [01:35] daniel_, haha, sorry we couldn't get it working!

[01:40] edbian, never said that just saying they all started from the same thing from what ive read if im wrong tell me quick lol [01:41] I have a little bit of a grumble and gripe. I cannot, however I manage to poke stuff, print an *envelope* from OpenOffice. [01:41] I don't know what I'm doing wrong to make a bootable USB of Linux with Unetbootin. First I Format it to MBR, and create a FAT partition on it that is bootable. Then I write the ISO and when I reboot, it doesn't boot up. anything wrong here? [01:41] daniel_, No no. It's true. Especially the desktop distros are pretty much the same [01:41] DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A FACEBOOK HACKER FOR LINUX [01:42] hey guys were can I talk with people that are trying unity/ubuntu 11.04?

[01:43] daniel_, It's very technical [01:43] edbian, well def not for me im just dipping in ill go deep end later [01:43] bin_bash, you mean the hardware in your machine? is this a ready made or one you put together? [01:43] trying to fix flash in firefox displaying my webcam upside down. Other programs work fine. Installed gtk-v4l, no dice [01:43] daniel_, have fun :) [01:43] daniel3_, sorry wrong name [01:44] edbian, thanks again cya [01:44] beata|lemur, is this a bought system or one you put together [01:44] daniel_, have fun with Ubuntu :) [01:44] Twelve [01:44] Thirteen [01:44] coz_: It's a brand new MacBook Pro. I've heard that I might be using the Sandy Bridge Processor, but I'm unsure. Is it true that 10.04 and 10.10 are not compatible with Sandy Bridge? [01:44] Well, yes. [01:44] bin_bash, They should be fine. It's all x86 [01:44] bin_bash, mm that One I dont know at all [01:45] bin_bash, sorry [01:45] I don't know what I'm doing wrong to make a bootable USB of Linux with Unetbootin. First I Format it to MBR, and create a FAT partition on it that is bootable. Then I write the ISO and when I reboot, it doesn't boot up. anything wrong here? [01:45] edbian: I heard that they weren't compatible with the GPU, and there's no documentation about it on the ubuntu site. [01:45] bin_bash, just load a live CD and see how it goes. [01:45] edbian: I really don't want to waste 3 hours downloading something that won't work [01:46] bin_bash, the thing about downloading things is, you can do other things while it's going. [01:46] snake_, what is format it to mbr === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [01:46] nit-wit, Master boot Record; it's in the disk utility for ubuntu 10.10 [01:47] if I upgrade ubuntu versions will I lose data ?

[01:47] nit-wit, ok [01:48] How do I find out what kind of processor I'm using besides the fact that it's an i5? [01:48] spanglesontoast: depends. Always back up your data. If you have a dedicated /home partition you *should* be able to safely upgrade. [01:48] Tb0n3: Does hardswitch wifi change anything? you could try rfkill with pm-suspend (in pm-utils) [01:48] bin_bash: sudo lshw -C cpu [01:48] I'm also not too impressed with Unity. But then, I do rather customise everything. [01:48] blah that command doesn't work in os x [01:48] which is weird [01:49] Tb0n3: just of side, did you check your swap (overload)? [01:49] acerimmer, I don't that's what I was worrying about I thought it only updated the system root though [01:49] bin_bash: If you're currently in osx why are asking that question here in an ubuntu support channel? [01:50] genii-around: Because I need to figure out which ubuntu distro will work with this machine. I literally just got it today to replace my broken one. [01:50] spanglesontoast: it's not that hard to set up and it does save a lot of problems. suggest you google and get 'r done. [01:51] !home | spanglesontoast [01:51] spanglesontoast: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [01:51] who wants to hear a funny story pertaining to this girl in my English class and a wireless mouse adapter that she thought she wrote her essay to :P [01:51] But I do like the concept of exporting the menu bar. That's why I kept Feisty for so long. [01:51] snake_, wrong channel [01:51] bin_bash: Get x86 "normal" installer and use live session to test. [01:51] Issue burning files to DVD and USB. Any ideas what's wrong? k3b and Basero just don't work. Been trying to use bash instead but not having too much luck. [01:51] bin_bash: Why not make liveCDs of the ones you want to try, boot to those and see [01:51] oh wait, that's basically it. bazhang you're right, sorry. [01:52] shcherbak: I did not check my swap, I wouldn't know what to look for === BrainB0ne is now known as BrainB0ne^ZzZ [01:52] genii-around: Will that work? [01:52] hello! [01:52] hope you are all good [01:52] acerimmer, you remind me of someone that coded a paltalk thing for gaim lol [01:52] Im glad to join [01:53] bin_bash: If the CD doesn't boot then it's a good indication it also won't work to install, yes [01:53] Tb0n3: free space, all ram is dumped there when hibernating (not sure about suspend). [01:53] I need some help with a soundcard today [01:53] anyone have any luck getting a webcam to work with adobe flash on firefox 4? Showing my video upside down. Other non-flash webcam apps are fine [01:54] I would *like* for my webcam video to be shown upside-down. [01:54] spanglesontoast: sorry. not me. thanx for the vote of confidence tho :) [01:54] :D [01:54] will Ubuntu 11.04 will make the HIBERNATION and SUSPEND to work finally ??

[02:18] rww: i am not sure, really [02:18] mneptok, anyway - if that problem isnt tackled, it won't get solved and never be part of any supported release - and car manufacturers don't sell open-source cars [02:18] its like my connection is slower than hell and our provider claims we are suppose to either get 1meg up and 14 down or vise versa or some shit [02:18] rww: oh yes.. i have pssword login disabled on sshd [02:18] azizLIGHTS: although I don't do EC2, so that may or may not work for you.

[02:20] hi people!!!! [02:20] I ve been working around [02:20] its hard for me to understand that word :( [02:20] mneptok, if i had no arm and the same error, what would be your approach to the problem?

(following a tutorial, it said to do that so I guess I can skip this step) [02:46] Hello, I am trying to install Windows XP on Virtual BOx, but it has given 16MB of Video memory, my video card has 128MB, can i select the whole 128? [02:46] not if your in that directory already, mainly only have to specify the whole directory in certain circumstances [02:46] Danielcg25_: what tutorial? [02:46] ? [02:47] ya victorhugo try turning up memory [02:47] see how it goes [02:47] Hi, can I give it 128 or will the host Ubuntu complain??? [02:48] depends try it out and see if you notice anything [02:48] Is it like ram? I have 1GB, but I gave it 382 [02:48] Ya you can say that, ram built on the video card === sam__ is now known as Moleboy [02:48] Hello all. [02:48] How can I make my user has the exact same permissions as root? [02:48] Hey guys, how would I go about extracting audio from a video? [02:49] Ok, thanks, 16MB is too little! [02:49] I've tried multiple things, googled it, and it's not working! [02:49] chotaz add it to root group, and edit sudoer file [02:49] chotaz: Pointless. [02:49] then do a chmod on entire filesystem [02:49] I burned a livedisk of 10.04 and was able to run it from the disc, and use gparted to partition my computer. I'm concerned however that installing it may not be good as I've heard it's not compatible with my system. Does anyone know if it's dangerous to install 10.04 with the i5 processor? Thanks. [02:49] Someone had me comment out a line using sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf, how do I remove the comment out, anyone know? [02:50] I used a pound, how do i delete it? [02:50] ya find # and delete it [02:50] how? [02:50] Fine what you commented out, and remove the # [02:50] use that same command sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf [02:50] what button deletes a character? Surprisingly not backspace [02:50] truepurple_: press I [02:50] type i [02:50] i [02:50] then backspace [02:50] yes, but once I get into editor mode, what command deletes a character [02:50] So, can someone help me extract audio from a video? [02:50] then when done ESC :wq! [02:51] backspace doesn't work [02:51] type i [02:51] first [02:51] whoops [02:51] I did [02:51] your using VI and in command mode [02:51] k was you able to delete it [02:51] Why use vi? Just try using nano. [02:51] What does commenting out one of those lines do anyway? Can it slow me down any? [02:51] don't overcomplicate it =3 [02:52] no, nothing happened [02:52] Does anyone know if 10.04 is compatible with Intel i5 Sandy Bridge? [02:52] makes it not read the line [02:52] Bin_bash, I believe it is, but out of curiousity, why not 10.10? [02:52] some system files can only be edited with vI [02:52] Ah, LTS? [02:52] bin_bash: is windows compatible with intel i5 sandy bridge? [02:52] And arrow keys in edit mode makes characters instead [02:52] bin_bash: ive heard there can be some issues with sandy bridge. but thers always chance some updtes fix any issues. [02:52] Moleboy: Because I have a 10.04 live disc [02:52] DaZ: I don't know I don't use windows. [02:52] are you trying to browse the file [02:53] Gotcha [02:53] truepurple_: you are using the vim-light instead of the vim 'full' version. [02:53] I'm confused, why use vim and not nano? [02:53] truepurple_: ive seen that arrow keys 'issue' befor. its how the keys are mappeed. [02:53] press ESC then the arrow keys will work [02:53] it's a processor, it's been the same architecture for the last 20 years. [02:53] BlackWeb: from twitter : RT @fR0DDY: Q:How to generate a random string? A:Put a fresh student in front of vi and tell him to quit. [02:53] every time I logout fro Ubuntu, my internal speaker sounds a BEEP, Where can I modify this beep? I want to hear a tune I made with just beeps, a .sh file [02:53] Dr_Willis So how do I delete a character in the vim-light? [02:53] And can anyone help me extract audio from video? [02:53] truepurple_: 'd' for delete. [02:53] DaZ: Apparently the Sandy Bridge architechture is different. [02:53] i set up a file called :~/.ssh/authorized_keys using ssh-keygen -t rsa and then i scp it. When i ssh into the server specifiying the user i am still being asked for a password. What did i miss? [02:54] Get the audio, out of a video file, and have a separate audio file? [02:54] Moleboy: winff, ffmpeg, or mencoder can do that.. [02:54] !info vimtutor [02:54] Package vimtutor does not exist in maverick [02:54] I have ffmpeg, but I'm rather unclear how to use it [02:54] !find vimtutor [02:54] File vimtutor found in manpages-zh, vim-runtime [02:54] I'll look into it, I appreciate it =3 [02:54] Moleboy: check its homepage/faq/docs. [02:55] I shall, that's what I'm doing [02:55] I am following this and i am still being asked for a password http://ryanbigg.com/deployment/getting_started_ubuntu.html#setting-a-key [02:55] what could i have missed? anyone? [02:55] unclemantis: thers the 'ssh-copy-id serverip' that i always use. [02:56] i used scp [02:56] unclemantis: did you set a password on the key itself? that could do it [02:56] Dr_Willis: d just causes the letter d to appear [02:56] unclemantis: i never need to do scp directly for it all.. ssh-copy-id handles it. [02:56] i entered a passphrase [02:56] truepurple_: hit the escape key to get into 'command' mode. then try d, or d then space. [02:56] truepurple_: Press Esc, [02:57] truepurple_: then v (visual mode) [02:57] Where can I found that .sh file - and replace it - that makes my internal speaker beeps everytime I logout? [02:57] truepurple_: highlight what you do not want and d [02:57] i used ssh-keygen -t rsa and it generated 2 files a public and a private. I took the public and scp. [02:58] http://ryanbigg.com/deployment/getting_started_ubuntu.html#setting-a-key [02:58] what did i miss :( [02:58] Osmodivs: i dont think there is a specific .sh file. thats doing it. the beep is proberly some alert/system beep. Mine dose not beep when i log out. but i recall some laptop that did do it. (annoying also) [02:58] bye all... [02:59] Dr_Willis HEY!! [02:59] unclemantis: use ssh-copy-id, if this fails you have premission problem on server, ~ and .ssh and eventualy key [02:59] I'm tryibng to boot Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Remix on an Acer Aspire AOD255 and all I get is a blinking underscore from my USB disk. [02:59] Dr_Willis please dont go [03:00] Dr_Willis I activated the internal speaker because i needed an alam beep for some temp monitors [03:00] Problem guys, I have sloppy loose feeling touchpad. I did " cat /proc/bus/input/devices " and it shows synPS/2 Synaptics. So i have Synaptics but when i check my generated xorg.conf it says Identifier "Mouse0" . Is this as symple as editing xorg with Synaptics input? [03:00] shcherbak: That V thing doesn't seem to work, but it doesn't seem necessary anyway [03:00] Does anyone know if there is any sort of GUI for Graphics Tablet configuration? I just connected mine, but once I hover the pen in the tablet area, the mouse pointer gets "stuck" at top-left screen corner. [03:00] Dr_Willis, but now I want to replace that alarm/beep logout with a nice beep tune made like a .sh [03:00] trying [03:01] Oh, im on Maverick [03:01] mactimes, ah actuall y there is is this a wacom? [03:01] How the heck do I find out if my processor is Sandy Bridge? [03:01] coz_ Gotec WP5540 [03:01] Dr_Willis: So if I got that full version, these commands would make alot more sense? [03:01] Ok, I've been working on this for 2 hours, and I just can't figure this out. I keep getting errors no matter what I do! [03:01] mactimes, mm I know there is one for the wacom [03:01] it did the same thing the other thing did [03:01] mactimes, let me try to find it hold on [03:01] Dr_Willis: Sure you can't help me? [03:01] coz_, Thanks. [03:02] so i don't understand. Why i try and log into the box using ssh and type in username it is NOT supposed to ask for a password, RIGHT? [03:02] Hello, I have a really simple question but it has been driving me crazy. Using 10.10 can you set a diff background image for diff workspaces? [03:02] mactimes, http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Wacom+Control+Panel?content=104309 [03:02] Does anyone know how to extract the audio from a video file? [03:02] unclemantis: Should, yes [03:02] coz_, I'll take a look. Thank you. [03:02] Anyone at all? I've been at it for hours! [03:02] Never mind, I guess v is necessary [03:03] mactimes, here is the PPA https://launchpad.net/~hughescih/+archive/ppa [03:03] niles|iPod it is NOT supposed to ask for a password??? [03:03] <_Neytiri_> how do i rin a cron one a day? [03:03] <_Neytiri_> run* [03:03] It should ask, unclemantis [03:03] oh [03:03] so it should still ask for the password? [03:03] niles|iPod, any idea on your front? [03:03] My linux and mac boxes do, unclemantis [03:03] No ideas [03:04] This is what the tutorial is telling me "We should not be prompted to enter a password, if we are then something’s gone Terribly, Terribly Wrong (TTW). " [03:04] Darnit [03:04] unclemantis: without username ssh use your username, do not matter when client server have same user. [03:04] Which is the Natty ubuntu chat? [03:04] Please someone, help end my misery! [03:04] !natty [03:04] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [03:04] !maverick [03:04] Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [03:04] coz_, No luck with that. It says "No device detected". [03:04] !beep [03:04] bin_bash, any idea? I'm sorry to be frustrating, but I've been on this for hours [03:05] shcherbak: So with the full version of this program, these commands will make more sense? [03:05] How come that bot does not know about the beep command!? [03:05] mactimes, mm darn,,, not sure what to say ... maybe in ##linux channel [03:05] mactimes, not sure wherelse to send you [03:05] Moleboy: what? [03:05] coz_, Ok. Thanks. I'm trying Google searches to see what else I find. Nothing useful so far. [03:05] Moleboy: What's your issue? [03:05] This is what the tutorial is telling me "We should not be prompted to enter a password, if we are then something’s gone Terribly, Terribly Wrong (TTW). " [03:06] bin_bash, I've been working for hours on extracting the audio from a video file, so I could have a simple MP3. That's it. I've tried dozens of things, always ending with errors and empty files. [03:06] but you guys are telling me that it IS supposed to still ask me for a password [03:06] so what good is this private key file then? [03:06] Ubuntu one contact sync just wiped out ALL my contacts and left 249 blank contacts on my phone. [03:06] Sorry I have no experience with that. [03:06] Can I sang someone for a sec? I have a very simple question. [03:06] Anyone know how to resolve? [03:06] truepurple_: Should, use vim (vi impoved), much easier and nice features. you may need to get vim cheatsheet, much help. [03:07] shcherbak: How do I get the improved version? [03:07] how do i upgrade 10.10 to 11.04 without a fresh install? [03:07] coz_, Hummm. Interesting output from lsusb: UC-Logic Technology Corp. Genius MousePen 5x4 Tablet [03:07] coz_, I'll try googling that. Thank you. ;-) [03:07] manuel__: Run update-manager -d [03:07] mactimes, sounds like a reasonable start :) [03:08] I am just looking to set different pictures as backgrounds for different work spaces, I have tried a few ways but nothing has worked so can it actually be done or is it a lost cause? [03:08] * Run_Time com uma lata de cerva na maun e ouvindo New Order - Blue Monday Uhhhuuullllllllllll....................... [03:08] thank you niles [03:08] Anyone here know how to extract audio from video? [03:08] Run_Time, disable that [03:09] i need clarification please. This tutorial I am on is saying "We should not be prompted to enter a password, if we are then something’s gone Terribly, Terribly Wrong (TTW)." and this is after i create a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file from the id_ssa.pub key [03:09] [bazhang]: this not is possible [03:09] Ahhhh, I'm going to esplode! [03:09] when i log in using the user, am i or am i not supposed to be still prompted for a password? [03:09] * unclemantis stands far away from Moleboy and takes aim [03:09] truepurple_: sudo apt-get install vim [03:10] truepurple_: My favourite: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/vi-guide.xml [03:10] Evening all. Please could someone tell me why 32-bit Ubuntu is the recommended download? [03:11] Adobe Flash [03:11] Beef, what do yout hink it would be? [03:11] Beef: most computers only have compatability with 32 bit [03:11] Beef: Coz it runs on 64bit systems. [03:11] * Moleboy slowly moves towards unclemantis. [03:11] I wouldn't know, as I assume more memory can be accessed with 64bit [03:11] Is the the proper room to address issues with Ubuntu one contact sync? [03:11] Beef: 32bit works on 64bit systems, but 64bit OS does not work on 32bit systems [03:11] It's a universality thing. [03:12] Beef: New conputers can [03:12] Beef: you will get pae with 32bit, so no matter. [03:12] fishscene, #ubuntuone channel? [03:12] Ahh. I think there are plenty of 64 PCs nowadays [03:12] shcherbak: Someone had me comment this line out with nameserver 205.171.3.65, could that have any negative effects, a bit of slow down or anything? What is the purpose of that line? [03:12] bingo. Thanks [03:12] pae? [03:12] Ok [03:12] !pae [03:12] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [03:12] Beef, ^ [03:13] Better question: Does anyone know where I could get help on finding out how to extract audio from video? [03:13] oh ok. but given that i've got a 64bit system, i might as well use the 64bit ubuntu, no? [03:13] Moleboy, with ffmpeg or the like? [03:13] Beef: Good idea [03:13] Not necessarily. There are occassionally compatibility issues [03:13] I hate to be a broken record but I would greatly appreciate it if someone could just tell me if it is possible to assign different backgrounds to different workspaces. So far all the methods i have tried, including kde, have not been able to do this. I would just like to know if it is possible. [03:13] ah, ok [03:13] But, generally, you'd be fine unless you have a specific issue [03:13] nameserver 205.171.3.65 [03:13] bazhang: yep. but I just can't get it to work! [03:13] zortog, perhaps with compiz [03:14] shcherbak: Someone had me comment this line out with nameserver 205.171.3.65, could that have any negative effects? [03:14] zortog, may want to ask in #compiz [03:14] thanks for the replies dudes, I'll try 64-bit. [03:14] bazhang, Think you could assist me? Or atleast help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? [03:14] Moleboy, from youtube vids? one of the devs had a script to strip them out iirc [03:14] hello how can i see who tries to connect to my computer [03:14] truepurple: are you on qwest? [03:15] eoss, connect to what [03:15] bazhang: i have tried that and the disabeling the nautalis draw desktop and it has not cooperated, thanks for the suggestion i will ask there!!!:) [03:15] bazhang, No, I have a video file of an oral history of my grandfather. I want the audio to put on a CD to listen in the car. [03:15] my ports [03:15] eoss, which ones, what services [03:15] Jeruvy: How did you know that? [03:15] well apache server i have up for development sometimes [03:15] and any port that can be seen from outside [03:15] truepurple_: what nameserver are you using? [03:15] hi again [03:15] its me :P [03:16] Hello luchohasbon [03:16] shcherbak: I don't know enough to answer that question [03:16] Remember me? [03:16] truepurple: then that may be a valid nameserver for you [03:16] people could anyone help me, i have two soundcards that use the same alsa module, ubuntu is using the one i don't want to use cause its hdmi, how do i fix this? [03:16] Jeruvy: Then what would the effects of commenting it out be? [03:17] bazhang anything? :-( [03:17] truepurple: to remove that nameserver [03:17] luchohasbon: open the volume control applet and pick the right output [03:17] truepurple_: In /etc/resolv.conf, what other lines do you have (should be your router, if you have one) [03:17] Jeruvy: And what is the effects of removing that nameserver??? [03:17] my volume control only recognice one card though lspci recognize both [03:17] truepurple: not everyone uses DNS local or on their network. You could choose to use OpenDNS for example. [03:18] Zorge, [03:18] Jeruvy, think you can help me? [03:18] Jeruvy: I don't understand that [03:18] zortog, Try this process http://ubuntuguide.net/different-wallpapers-on-each-workspace-in-ubuntu [03:18] hi all, how can I get ubuntu10.04 cd now? I have a slow internet connection, so I cannot download it. is there any way out? [03:18] Ray2? [03:19] truepurple: DNS is how you resolve IP addresses to names. Who you choose is a highly debatable subject [03:19] Moleboy: I can only see :) [03:19] Jeruvy: I understand the first part of what you said just fine, but I did not understand what you said about choice [03:20] Jeruvy: I should say, I already knew the first part [03:20] Jeruvy: For hours, I've been trying to extract audio from video. I need this, and I am going crazy! [03:21] Moleboy: I'm not that expert in extracting audio codecs from containers, sorry [03:21] where is the default index.html file from apache stored on ubuntu? [03:21] I cant find it lol [03:21] Moleboy: try #ffmpeg, that has been very helpful === n is now known as njan [03:22] I see, thanks! [03:22] Moleboy: mplayer is best (personal opinion): http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/229/extract-audio-from-video-or-online-stream/ [03:22] anyone? [03:22] facelessa: /var/www/ [03:22] thanks!!! [03:22] thats what I needed lol [03:22] been a long time [03:22] truepurple: not all DNS is equal. I'm not sure what else I can tell you . This is a bit OT for #ubuntu [03:23] hi, i need some informations, i own an uefi pc and i'd like to install ubuntu on it, it appears that 32 bit OS cant run in a 64 bit uefi and all uefi's are 64 bit, is that true/correct? [03:24] having some trouble with natty 11.04 beta 1, anyone successfully erase from 10.10 and install 11.04? [03:24] *fresh? [03:24] !natty [03:24] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [03:25] Try #ubuntu+1 =3 they'll know a bit more [03:25] id10t, #ubuntu+1 please [03:25] thank you [03:25] bazhang, hate to bug you, but you don't know how to do it? [03:25] Does having IPv6 off cause any trouble ever? [03:25] truepurple_: Anyway, all DNS is done automaticaly in Ubuntu, so no worries, if you want to experiment a bit, mind a back up and common sens, google "public name server" to see what you can play with. [03:25] Moleboy, did you not try tghe link above? [03:25] Moleboy, the mplayer one? [03:25] ? [03:26] I've tried using mplayer, though I missed your link [03:26] Moleboy: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/229/extract-audio-from-video-or-online-stream/ [03:26] http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/229/extract-audio-from-video-or-online-stream/ from shcherbak [03:26] whoops [03:26] Ah, yep. tried it. [03:26] shcherbak: I don't trust ubuntu to do everything automatically, it already screwed up my internet once already [03:26] Moleboy: there is few ways shown [03:26] I can tell you what happens when I do it [03:27] truepurple_: did you file a bug? [03:27] Moleboy: do you have linky to that video? [03:27] I've seen about 3 videos [03:28] And when I do what that link says, and try playing the file, it says seek failed [03:28] ohsix: Not sure if you would call it a bug, but my browser stopped being able to call up internet, it required me disabling IPv6 to get it to work again [03:28] Moleboy: No, to video you want to strip. [03:28] No, it's a video file I have on my computer. It's a 4 hour oral history of my grandfather. [03:28] shcherbak, :-/ [03:29] Hi [03:29] Moleboy: did you try to load it in kino, or piviti?

[03:30] rams_pandu: Try the network install [03:30] SvenG: I thought that it is Isle of Man [03:30] truepurple_: ah, that's pretty well known [03:30] shcherbak: naahh.. that's whwre theGuy[tm] lives nowadays.. [03:30] shcherbak, I tried loading it in pivirti, but I couldn't figure out how to eliminate the video part without getting rid of the audio [03:30] niles|iPod, can you detail it abit? [03:30] shcherbak, Have not tried Kino yet. [03:31] deena: Depends on how you have setup the network.. if the network IS running.. just use the regular ping command with the guest IP as a target? [03:31] wasnt there some development bureau in ZA? [03:31] truepurple_: other things being broken make it a problem though :\ [03:31] Hello. I'd like to upgrade to python 2.7 on my my system in a way that I can directly call python in the terminal and not be presented with 2.6, but rather 2.7. Is this a trivial task or would it be hard to do? [03:31] ohsix: Well I have been asking on ubuntu forum, ubuntu chat, and firefox chat, as well as searching online, for hours, and noone thought to suggest that [03:31] my primary host is having 192.168.1.2 guest os is having 192.168.1.22 [03:31] why i am not able to reach my guest os ? [03:31] rams_pandu: It is a cd image with some installee files but it downloads rhe majority of them during the install [03:31] truepurple_: forums :D [03:32] what needs to be added in virtual servr gateway [03:32] ohsix: Someone spend quite some time trying to help me by suggesting different things, and that was not one of them [03:32] ohsix: What about forums? [03:32] Okay guise. Wish me luck. I'm attempting to install 10.04 on my MBP 8,1 with a Sandy Bridge Processor.

[03:32] truepurple_: you might as well have asked your grandmother to speculate about what might be wrong [03:32] Moleboy: Can you cut few minutes, and test it (in mplayer), if you can strip from lesser part, or drop it somewhere? Also try to convert chunk to ogg format. [03:33] ohsix: Where would you suggest I go for help then? [03:33] i got someone here going to south africa.. home of ubuntu.. any chance to meet ubuntu people in south africa? maybe some ubuntun community meetup? [03:33] deena: Are you SURE the guest has a working network connection? Can the guest ping the host? [03:33] niles|iPod, ok, where can I get it? [03:34] Ubuntu website [03:34] niles|iPod, thank you:-) [03:34] rams_pandu: Goto alternitave downloads [03:34] how do you restart the gui in ubuntu 10.10 [03:34] ip's are assigned but not able to ping from host to guest or guest to host [03:35] spacenavi: Restart the x server ;) [03:35] yeah how do you do it in terminal === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [03:35] deena: Please tell me which VM you are using, also please prefix my nick to your sentence it's hard to see your messages ^_^ [03:35] virtualbox 4 [03:36] i need help [03:36] virtaulbox 4 _ diamondcite [03:36] how do i specify a device for a module I have one module driver for two diferent devices === MrAdam is now known as THEBRODOZER [03:37] deena: Okay, Under VirtualBox -> Settings (With the VM OFF) -> Network -> Adapter 1, what is it attached to? NAT? Bridged? [03:37] _diamoncite_it is virtualbox 4.. host address is having 192.168.1.2. guest systesm is having 192.168.1.22 [03:37] ohsix: Where would you suggest I go for help then? [03:37] sorry [03:37] i need help to configure wifi radar [03:37] truepurple_: dunno, for one offs smart friends help, best you can do is support yourself and get an idea about how to do differential diagnosis and rule stuff out [03:38] diamondcite_it is nat.. i changed it to bridge but tell me it should be br0 or eth0 [03:38] deena.. eh? I never had that encounter.... [03:39] deena: Do you have some sort of firewall setup? [03:39] hi, i need some informations, i own an uefi pc and i'd like to install ubuntu on it, it appears that 32 bit OS cant run in a 64 bit uefi and all uefi's are 64 bit, is that true/correct? the pc is a dell vostro 3700, listed on ubuntu certified hardware as working with 10.10 x64, why wouldnt i386 work? [03:39] ohsix: I only partially understood that [03:39] diamondcite_thanks i am able to ping now === lonelyibex is now known as fungo [03:39] how do I restart the gui in ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition [03:39] not server edition [03:40] truepurple_: your problem was a very narrow one that could be easily checked against dns problems and a networking problem, someone who knew of the problem already would have you paste the output of ifconfig, to see if theres any ipv6 stuff attached to the interface, then see if ipv6 worked, ping6 or something [03:40] epzis: i386 should work on both 64bit and 32bit systems [03:40] spacenavi: Ig by GUI you mean the graphical login screen, then "sudo service gdm restart" should do it [03:40] lol any here [03:41] afasefsafeaf [03:41] is there anyone who knows how to set up wpa with wifi radar i can see my connection but it times out and it asks me for a wep key and i have a wpa key so frustrating i miss zero config in windows right about now [03:41] AJ_Z0 thanks. will try [03:41] sacarlson: on wikipedia it says that 64 bit efi doesnt boot 32 bit systems, but then imacs (first efi machines) boot both kernels if efi is 64bit so im a lil confused right now, what would the biggest problem be? (i have 3gb ram) [03:41] ohs I didn't know what kind of problem it was, I don't know how you mean to "check against something. And I had trouble understanding some of that [03:41] l_33T: Nope, no one here, just ask a question for support and someone will answer if they can answer it. [03:41] epzis: what it wouldn't run on is an apple mac or arm system without the version compiled for those type systems === lonelyibex is now known as fungo [03:42] to start a connection dont u write in konsole sudo start-network and then goto wicd and press connect [03:42] sacarlson: then i have to guess that ami aptio (should be a 2.1 uefi) could run both and ubuntu hardware certifier had a 4gb ram vostro for testing? [03:42] SUCCESS [03:42] #FFmpeg IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND [03:43] \o/ [03:43] l_33T: I am not sure why you are using wicd when networkmanager comes with Ubuntu.. but using wicd alone should be enough. [03:43] lol imma using backtrack 4 its way better [03:43] lol jk i just using backtrack [03:44] l_33T: Then ask them not this place, it is not supported here ^_^ [03:44] how to get to network manager [03:44] ohsix: I didn't know what kind of problem it was, I don't know how you mean to "check against something. And I had trouble understanding some of that [03:44] network manager in lucid running gnome [03:45] epzis: efi seems to be the chip that apple uses so maybe your system is a mac? [03:45] l_33T: Due to the nature of branched off distros this channel is unable to provide support for things not under ubuntu. === Milos_ is now known as Milos [03:46] sacarlson: dell vostro 3700, ami aptio uefi, googling it says people have issues and ubuntu hardware certification says "it works with x64" but again this may be due to 4gb ram (mine has 3), would there be any other issue? (although i remember booting a 32 bit ubuntu on my mac some releases ago) [03:47] Why cant it [03:47] Linux doesnt play through speakser [03:48] or headphones [03:48] it just playes through the computers build in speakers [03:48] i tried iwconfig and i can see wlan and i also tried lspci | grep lan and i can see the wireless card in there but not sure how to connect...

It just playes through the computer built in speakers [03:50] Im not sure [03:50] hey, my drive's smart says the self test status is FAILED (Read) [03:50] what does this mean? [03:50] also, fsck fails, but the OS seems to run fine and the drive doesn't make any abnormal noise [03:50] Windows Still wont boot from the DVD and Linux is still here at its fullest [03:50] tpw_rules: Open gnome-disk-tool and check the details [03:50] Cannot remove linux from vista 64 bits [03:50] Im using a laptop [03:51] o hai [03:51] it says the current pending sector count is 35 [03:51] Suhn: What you you mean built in speakers? You only hear beeps? Or do you hear really crappy music from the speaker? [03:51] suhn, what version of Ubuntu do you have? [03:51] Its the built in speakers on my laptop. I hear the music and everything, but it wont play anything through what i plug into the auxiliary input [03:52] 1/8 jack [03:52] ubutnu 10.10 64bit [03:52] suhn, are you trying to record or just listen [03:52] Just listen [03:52] Suhn: Please state Ubuntu Version and also the Full Model and maker of your laptop [03:52] Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. Toshiba satelite c655 [03:53] sacarlson: so would ram be my only issue' [03:53] ? [03:53] epzis: all I see is this that says that ubuntu 10.04 worked on it but that it has some sub versions with different hardware https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+bug/718556 [03:53] Ubuntu bug 718556 in Ubuntu-Certification "Notes for Dell Vostro 3700" [Medium,Incomplete] [03:53] epzis: no 3 gig ram should be fine [03:53] suhn, have you checked out the mixer settings from the tray applet? [03:54] how does someone go about getting a driver for wpa [03:54] Yea [03:54] how can I remove Ubuntu 10.10 from my windows vista 64 BITS ? [03:54] sacarlson: ye but he doesnt specify what version of ubuntu lol [03:54] I need to format and it wont let me [03:54] sacarlson : besides those problems could you think of any other? [03:54] epzis: version 10.04 [03:54] suhn, have you run "alsamixer" and explored the options there too? [03:54] Nope [03:54] spirals: is alsamixer in the ubuntu software center? [03:54] suhn, check it out, use arrow keys, spacebar, F keys to navigate alsamixer [03:54] sacarlson: sorry, meant to say he doesnt specify if its i386 or x64 [03:55] epzis: well you didn't state what you see I asume you get a black screen at boot? [03:55] suhn, checking, might be default [03:55] How do i use it? [03:55] *where do i start it [03:55] suhn, in a terminal [03:55] sacarlson: actually i get nothing, x64 boots and installs i386 has yet to be burnt :P so i was making sure there were no known issues since here cds cost an eye and i dont have a usb stick lol [03:55] What is the command [03:56] suhn: alsamixer [03:56] sacarlson : it came with a 32 bit windows 7 so i find it hard to believe that its not supposed to work due to "firmware version" :S [03:56] epzis: if you already have an installed system then you can boot the iso direct from the hard disk with a grub2 entry [03:57] spirals, i still cant get anything to play through the auxilary input. But i figured out taht i have a intel HDA sound chip [03:57] Conexant [03:57] sacarlson: thanks for your time, as soon as i get back home ill do it :) [03:57] suhn, when you find the input channel (mic or whatever) make sure it's turned up and not muted [03:57] suhn (in alsamixer) [03:57] CX20585 [03:58] suhn, also what are you using to try to listen? what player app [03:58] Well, youtube, grooveshark [03:58] internet music [03:58] alsamixer has nothing about an aux input [03:58] suhn: it might be on a different screen, F2 or F3 etc, listed at top [03:59] is there any extension on the chromium like Noscript on firefox ? [03:59] well [03:59] suhn: you've now confused me. You are trying to listen to youtube from an external source, on your laptop? not play youtube on your laptop? [03:59] Master and PCM are the only accessible controls [03:59] Im trying to listen to any music through my speakers. Plugged into the auxilary 1/8 input on my laptop [04:00] can someone help me uninstall Ubuntu 10.10 from my Windows Vista 64 bIT S ??? [04:00] Ubuntu does not seem to recognize the auxilary input on my computer [04:00] suhn: the output not the input? [04:00] The input [04:00] output iguess [04:00] Im basically just talking about where you plug it in [04:01] suhn: your setup is totally unclear to me, going to pm [04:01] does wext sound like a good driver name for wifi radar wpa tab?

[04:07] So I updated my computer, restarted, and I have no title bars with the max, min, and close buttons on my windows.

[04:08] hi, I have installed wordpress in ubuntu (/var/www).when I tried to install a theme it says "Is its parent directory writable by the server?". The reason for this I think it is not allowed to write in to the system directly. can I allow accessing the system directly in ubuntu? [04:08] can anone please help me [04:08] rww is there a link you can send me that would help me set up wifi radar with wpa? [04:08] hello, what's the command to load "Additional Drivers" window from the command line? [04:08] chinthaka: sudo chmod 777 /var/www/* -R [04:08] newbie00198: unlikely, since I don't use Wifi Radar [04:09] chinthaka: where is that theme? [04:09] lduros: modprobe [04:09] techhelper1: Bad. [04:09] sorry [04:09] techhelper1: that will let anyone read or write anything, it's not a good idea [04:09] shcherbak: it is just a permissions issue, nothing to do with WordPress [04:09] Jeruvy: that's what it is, modprobe? :-) [04:09] If you were really smart on how to secure a Linux system, it wouldn't matter [04:09] Jeruvy: it doesn't seem to launch that window [04:10] gerrin: Check out my private message [04:10] shcherbak: that is in the desktop [04:10] Anywho... [04:10] techhelper1: Tell me yours servers addresses and I will show you what your command does! [04:10] techhelper1: the web server having randomf iles it can write is a good way to get owned [04:10] goodbye [04:10] chinthaka: Path where is theme. [04:10] shcherbak: umm no, I know what it does [04:11] techhelper1: so? [04:11] chinthaka: sudo chmod 777 /var/www/wp-content/themes/* -R [04:11] their happy [04:11] techhelper1: stop telling people to do that [04:11] chinthaka, that is not safe to do. [04:11] jockey-gtk looks like what it is [04:12] it just allows the themes to be downloaded and work [04:12] techhelper1: in www directiries group can be -rw and lart should be --r, nothing more (unless needed) [04:12] edbian:then what do I do for that? [04:12] techhelper1: it also allows anyone to write to that directory [04:12] techhelper1: and overwrite files, and add new ones [04:12] chinthaka, can you pastebin ls -la /var/www/ for me? [04:13] umm, why do you think it is having the issue [04:13] and drop links (to dev) [04:13] because it can't edit/add anything [04:13] techhelper1, Yes, but 777 is overkill [04:13] Tryed to uninstall Ubuntu 10.10 from Wubi.exe It did remove it but I am now inside my linux os and cannot formatt my windows partition from the dvd [04:13] techhelper1: if you really knew what you were talking about you'd know how ridiculous it is to suggest it [04:14] edbian:total 28 [04:14] drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2011-04-02 08:26 .

[04:14] oh god [04:14] techhelper1, lets move on please [04:14] chinthaka, use this website: paste.ubuntu.com [04:14] chinthaka: ok, move your theme to wordpress directory (with sudo) [04:14] edbian:ok [04:14] changing the owner would be sufficient [04:14] he is using the webui to download/install the theme [04:14] techhelper1: changing the owner would be sufficient [04:14] shcherbak:ok thanks [04:15] eugh [04:15] chinthaka, ohsix That's what I suspect. Who is the owner of wordpress files? (is there a group maybe) [04:15] chinthaka: ohsix ir right, you change ownership of wordpress directory. [04:16] how do I make dpkg pull dependencies while installing? [04:16] scarleo: but now he has to undo the 777 damage :[ [04:16] shcherbak: ^ [04:16] chinthaka: and set permissions to 704 [04:16] techhelper1 messed his stuff up [04:16] ohsix, I don't think he ran that command. [04:17] is there a good speech recognition programme for linux with documentation? (sphinx2 has none) [04:17] shcherbak:how to set that? [04:17] edbian: look at what he already pasted brah [04:17] chinthaka: 3 commands : [04:17] how to know about the owner? can you please help me? [04:17] ohsix, link? [04:18] chinthaka: sudo chmod -R 704 /var/www [04:18] agreed [04:18] edbian: the part that made it to the channel [04:18] if I'm in a dir with file foo is there a command that will give me the entire path to foo with foo on the end? [04:18] i want to install c/c++ software on my ubuntu 10.10 os where can i get this software? [04:18] chinthaka: then chown -R yourusername path/to/wordpress [04:19] how do I make dpkg pull dependencies while installing? [04:19] shishirdwivedi20: gcc is your compiler, probably comes with ubuntu, you need to find an IDE or just use an editor [04:19] jon_athon: use apt or aptitude, dpkg just works with debs, higher level tools do dependencies [04:19] scottj, echo $PWD/file [04:19] jon_athon: that's not the responsibility of dpkg - that's the responsibility of the package manager, apt [04:19] jon_athon: it can't, use apt [04:19] I have a .deb that I downloaded and has missing dependencies [04:19] shcherbak:"chown -R yourusername path/to/wordpress" here username means username of my user account of ubuntu? [04:20] jon_athon: if you install something with missing deps with dpkg you can use apt to install them after you do; but it won't do it in one step [04:20] crap [04:20] chinthaka: yes [04:20] jon_athon: dpkg -i downloaded-package.deb && apt-get -f install [04:20] scottj i dont know the name of IDE which work on ubuntu will you please suggest me the names [04:20] chinthaka: third : chmod -R 744 path/to/wordpress [04:20] nickmoeck: thanks [04:20] shishirdwivedi20, look at the output of sudo fdisk -l [04:20] Is it possible to download the iso of natty alternate and then use that to upgrade from lucid skipping meerkat? [04:21] benzaldehyde: no [04:21] benzaldehyde: Natty is not an LTS, so it's not possible to skip releases with it [04:21] benzaldehyde: it can be used as a package source, so when you do do the upgrade it will find packages there [04:21] benzaldehyde: 1) no, 2) natty support in #ubuntu+1, not here [04:21] benzaldehyde, Not unless you have a separate /home (it's not really an upgrade, you just install over what you have) If you have a separate home you can easily avoid deleting your persoal files [04:21] benzaldehyde: but that will not be as efficient as you think [04:21] Tryed to uninstall Ubuntu 10.10 from Wubi.exe It did remove it but I am now inside my linux os and cannot formatt my windows partition from the dvd [04:21] edbian some memory block and file type inforamtion came [04:21] subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 [04:22] shishirdwivedi20, I have no idea what that means. === Jasonn is now known as visit_badips_co_ [04:22] shishirdwivedi20: he thought you meant ide hard drive not ide development environment :) [04:22] jon_athon: My fault. Run apt-get -f install separately. === visit_badips_co_ is now known as badips_co_cc [04:22] chinthaka: you need to chnage "path/to/wordpress" with real path. === badips_co_cc is now known as visit === visit is now known as badips_co_cc === badips_co_cc is now known as visit [04:22] nickmoeck, it won't even let me dpkg by itself now... [04:22] scottj ohhh LOL [04:22] crap [04:23] oops [04:23] wow that is a lot of information, i just want the latest ubuntu available and i have had a lot of truble with the cds i burned, what is the best and fastest route to getting natty on a lucid system [04:23] haha [04:23] one sec [04:23] jon_athon: Just do the apt-get -f install - the dpkg process should be done [04:23] shishirdwivedi20: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24109/c-ide-for-linux [04:23] benzaldehyde: update-manager -d [04:23] ohsix: what is the -d for [04:23] Tryed to uninstall Ubuntu 10.10 from Wubi.exe It did remove it but I am now inside my linux os and cannot formatt my windows partition from the dvd [04:24] benzaldehyde: read the man page or its --help output [04:24] ohsix: i'm at that screen now but i was thinking why risk a network install, last time i tried the thing crashed in the middle of it [04:24] benzaldehyde: you *could* upgrade to maverick then to natty, but that will take a while. your best bet would be a clean install === visit is now known as Jasonn [04:25] DystaN, are you talking about using gparted? Why do you want to format your windows partition? 'formatting' it will erase it [04:25] nickmoeck: i am seriously considering doing just that [04:25] ah, its working. what is -f, fix? === Jasonn is now known as jasonnn [04:25] Im trying to formatt my windows partition [04:25] jon_athon: yes, -f is fix missing dependencies [04:25] and it cannot start from the dvd === jasonnn is now known as Jasonn [04:25] because linux is still installed [04:26] my first impression of 10.04 over 9.1 is amazed [04:26] goes into the GNU thing where I can select Ubuntu versions and vista [04:26] cannot start from vista dvd [04:26] sweet works thanks [04:26] already removed wubi from windows [04:26] http://www.bronxzoo.com/ :-) [04:27] somehow, when i start searching with bluetooth, my internet connection cuts off _completely_.. why is this? i can't even access local addresses [04:27] zoLevDotCom, wrong channel [04:27] DystaN, you're talking about the grub boot loader [04:27] yes [04:27] ruan: sometimes wifi and bluetooth try and cooperate for the spectrum, you might want to check how it does that [04:27] it goes straight into that [04:27] ohsix: im on ethernet [04:27] dosnt let me boot from windows cd [04:27] DystaN, Read the second post: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/uninstalling-grub-from-vista-550172/ [04:28] DystaN, Turn on booting a CD in the Bios [04:28] Can somebody please help me get my Palm T|X to sync with the program J-Pilot? This should be a really easy fix. It syncs with Evolution like a charm, but I want to manage the data using J-Pilot. What do I do? RSVP--need help. [04:28] reading now [04:28] ruan: then it's something entirely more strange [04:28] ohsix: besides, my wifi antenna is near a window.. it shouldnt have any problems there [04:28] my signal is 100% [04:29] ruan: doesnt matter where it is, it's how they cooperate [04:29] if i have a custom module that i have added to /etc/modules, where do i need to put the *.ko file and is there anything else I need to do to make it work? [04:29] no good [04:29] did that [04:29] ethernet cable linked to a router and wifi antenna or whatever its called [04:29] edbian [04:29] DystaN, [04:29] cannot remove partitions as [04:29] when I am [04:29] ruan: ok, if it's not in your system then they aren't cooperating [04:29] ohsix: ok [04:29] in linux right now [04:29] after having removing it [04:29] trying to remove it [04:30] Anybody up for a simple Palm fix? The data is just not showing up in J-Pilot. My computer and my Palm are talking just fine.

[04:30] wizard1: somewhere in /lib/modules, most likely [04:30] DystaN, what? Maybe you should go to the channel for your native language. You don't make any sense. [04:30] Please. [04:30] somehow it only loses connection in the last part of the search [04:30] last quarter [04:30] edbian: when i use the built in partitioner, there is a problem with creating partitions, it will let me choose different locations for partitions but won't allow me to switch the label--i was forced into only doing a / and a swap [04:31] my router is showing connection attempts [04:31] benzaldehyde, Who cares about the label? None of my partitions have labels [04:31] edbian: the installer did [04:31] edbian: would not pass go without it [04:32] benzaldehyde, Yeah, why do you care about the labels? [04:32] edbian: the error would not let me pass go [04:32] edbian: i don't [04:32] benzaldehyde: are you perhaps talking about mount points, not labels? [04:32] edbian: it did [04:32] nickmoeck: both [04:32] nickmoeck: the partitioner in the installer is flawed [04:32] benzaldehyde, How many partitions do you have? You can only have 4 primary partitions [04:33] nickmoeck: it lets you choose as many points but gives them all the same label [04:33] nickmoeck: which in turn causes the installation to halt and forces me to change that [04:33] nickmoeck: yeah i have it in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers but that isn't working [04:34] edbian: i put both swap and / as primaries [04:34] would /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/lib be better? [04:34] benzaldehyde, So you have 2 partitions total? or 4? [04:34] edbian: nothing more, i wanted to do /boot but now that i know upgrades effect /home i wish i had that too now [04:34] connect irc.quakenet.net [04:34] lolsuals [04:35] edbian: 2 [04:35] benzaldehyde, And the partitioner won't let you create more than 2 partitions? [04:35] Hey guys. I need to find out what kind of network card I have so I can get the right driver. [04:35] bin_bash, you can see it in the output of sudo lspci -k (the -k flag shows if it has a driver already) [04:36] edbian: it will, that is what i meant by it will let me create as many points as i like but then it gives all of them the same / label which causes the installer to error and demand switching the labels without giving a way to switch labels [04:36] edbian: I know I don't have a driver. [04:36] sprials [04:36] you still there? [04:36] benzaldehyde, edit each one and change the mount point. Stop using mount point and label inter-changably. They're not the same. [04:37] wizard1: I believe you have to use depmod to make sure that the kernel knows about the module [04:37] bin_bash, Did you find it in sudo lspci -k ? [04:37] edbian: i'm not as advanced, i am just saying that the partitioner is kooky [04:37] edbian: I'm not in ubuntu right now, I'm in OS X, and that command doesn't work here. Because I don't have internet connectivity I have to switch back and forth between OS's [04:37] this question is for someone who plays open arena and knows where to find "your captured screenshots of a game. anyone know how or where to locate those files in your dir? [04:38] nickmoeck: ok i have messed with that yet, it works fine when i do sudo insmod *.ko, but modprobe doesnt work for it [04:38] benzaldehyde, you have to right click and edit each partition and change the mount point [04:38] benzaldehyde: it just takes a different understanding of what's going on [04:38] bin_bash: in google type your model and "wireless chipset" [04:38] wizard1: modprobe requires that the .ko file be somewhere in the system path [04:38] bin_bash, ouch, yeah sudo lspci will list everything in Ubuntu. the network card will be in there. I don't know how to do it in Mac. I'm sure you can. [04:38] Hello, where can I find a .deb for Kernel 2.6.32-30-generic ? [04:38] folorn: possibly in /home/user/.openarena/ (i havent played it before though) [04:39] thank you ruan [04:39] edbian: I got this from the system information: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 5.100.198.10.1) [04:39] lemme look [04:39] edbian: i think i would have tried that, i been through it like 4 or five times tying different file systems and editions and so forth but i will be more vigilant next go [04:39] Technicus: in the Software Center [04:39] ' ~$ ps aux | grep 1653; detlef 1653 0.0 0.7 39908 15396 ?

[04:39] rigved: is there somewhere in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ that would be recommended? [04:39] rigved: I am not familiar with that . . . will you please educate me? [04:40] bin_bash, That's pretty good. I can guess that you need to boot Ubuntu and follow these directions for installing the b43 driver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:40] bullgard4: erts-5.7.4? [04:40] benzaldehyde, I don't know what to tell you. I can't point to your screen over IRC channel. [04:40] edbian: Thanks so much :) [04:40] Technicus: if you are in 10.04, then run an update. System > Administration > Update Manager [04:40] Technicus: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-image-2.6.32-30-generic, from Ubuntu source you can build .deb [04:40] ruan: Your message is incomprehensible. [04:40] edbian: good point, no pun intended [04:41] bin_bash, Make sure you go to the installing B43 section near the bottom! [04:41] All right, so you're telling me that in this big Ubuntu support channel, nobody is willing to take a probably very simple question and help me solve my problem? I mean, this is like, easy, but I don't know what to do. [04:41] edbian: I will, thanks. [04:41] rigved, shcherbak, I am on Mavric and I want to install Kernel 2.6.32-30-generic. [04:41] bullgard4: it's in that folder [04:41] dzeremis, what s the question [04:41] dzeremis: if it is so easy why are you having trouble with it :) [04:41] bin_bash, :) [04:42] wizard1: for testing purposes, no. whenever there is a kernel update, you will have to copy the kernel module to the new $(uname -r) directory [04:42] ruan: I asked for the function and not where it is. [04:42] dzeremis: this is a ubuntu channel not a j-pilot chan [04:42] Technicus: not best idea, but try first: gksudo synaptic [04:42] Technicus: that is an ill-advised move. [04:42] rigved: yeah but i have to recompile it each time for new kernels [04:42] how do i make unity visible permentantly? [04:42] bazhang: I have a Palm T|X that is syncing perfectly with my computer and with Evolution. I simply cannot get it to sync with J-Pilot, the program I want to use to edit the data. The data won't show up there. I think I'm missing some component, but I'm not sure how to install it [04:42] bullgard4: it could mean something as to what beam is [04:42] dzeremis: you should try and hunt down someone that uses j-pilot; if it syncs with evolution its working as reasonably expected, the problem is something with j-pilot [04:42] wizard1: yes [04:42] scottj: I didn't know where else to go. Pardon me. [04:43] rigved: ^^ [04:43] nope not it either [04:43] rigved: so placing it in the kernel specific folder is fine really since it only works for that kernel [04:43] dzeremis: it's fine to ask here just realize 99% of the people here don't use that app [04:43] rigved: provided that is an acceptable place for a *.ko file [04:43] 99.9% [04:43] Yes, I agree. I was hoping somebody could help me figure that out. It's probably easy, I just don't know how to install what I think is a prerequisite. [04:43] rigved: after i put it there i just run depmod? [04:43] rigved: shcherbak: Ok, so where can I find it. [04:43] May I paste a link in here? [04:43] dzeremis, I don't use j-pilot and I don't use palm so... [04:43] Hello all [04:44] I can show you exactly what my question is and you can answer it without going into Palm details. [04:44] Technicus: maverick uses 2.6.35-* series. installing a 2.6.32-* kernel will break your system [04:44] dzeremis: links are fine [04:44] dzeremis, link is welcome [04:44] bullgard4: i have it installed too, it seems to be something related to erl-daemon [04:44] Out of curiosity is anyone running 11.04? [04:44] i currently have 2 video cards installed, but can only use one of them at a time. i would like to use them both for a multimonitor setup. can anyone help me with this? [04:45] ruan: Yes. Thank you for commenting. [04:45] Thank you both. Here: http://www.henrikbecker.de/jpilot/jpilot-manual-en-2.html#ss2.1 I'm looking at this pilot-link thing. Hang on and I'll have that link for you. [04:45] folorn: thanks for the ref, didn't know about open arena [04:45] DrakasX: yes, in VirtualBox. please direct your questions to #ubuntu+1 [04:45] jesse_: not totally but I might be able to point you in the right direction.. please tell me they both are nvidia.. [04:45] !info erlang [04:45] erlang (source: erlang): Concurrent, real-time, distributed functional language. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:13.b.3-dfsg-2ubuntu3 (maverick), package size 34 kB, installed size 84 kB [04:46] dzeremis: did you compile jpilot or install out of apt/synaptic? [04:46] izinucs: actually they are both Radeon. I know that is terrible. [04:46] hmm no [04:46] !info erlang-base [04:46] erlang-base (source: erlang): Erlang/OTP virtual machine and base applications. In component main, is optional. Version 1:13.b.3-dfsg-2ubuntu3 (maverick), package size 4049 kB, installed size 7304 kB [04:46] Link: http://www.pilot-link.org/ This is a prerequisite. Since J-Pilot is not working, I assume I have something wrong? [04:47] np :) its a fun and awsome trip sorta like quake2/quake3 almost identical really :) you will love it [04:47] scottj: I have no idea. In fact, I'm not even sure how I got the thing on my system? I'm new to Linux and I may have had trouble installing it. [04:47] Could you explain to me how to install it properly? That is probably the issue. [04:47] quick question: if i have /home and/usr on seperate partitions from /, if the system goes down, i can reinstall ubuntu without modifying /home or /usr? [04:47] dzeremis: are you already running jpilot? [04:47] seems to be an emulator for something. idk what [04:48] I'm on Ubuntu and I'm not goofing off wasting time. I just can't get the data to sync. [04:48] wizard1: yes. but you will have to do this for every kernel update that you install [04:48] scottj: Yes, I got that far, somehow. [04:48] jesse_: well.. hummm.. you'll have to build a custome /etc/X11/xorg.conf to do it. best to start with one card and xorg.conf getting the settings right.. then add the 2nd card and do the same.. you might also be able to take another aproach and use xrandr to set it up.. I can have ubottu send you a link on that one.. [04:48] Hey, i just installed 11.04, and my wifi doesnt work. i used b43-fwcutter in the past but its not detecting my card anymore. [04:48] !xrandr | jesse_ [04:48] jesse_: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [04:48] dzeremis: you must know. did you follow those install instructions, was it already on your computer, or did you install it through software updates/synaptic in ubuntu? [04:48] Xqtftqx, Can I see dmesg in a pastebin please? paste.ubuntu.com [04:48] It seems to me that pilot-link may be the missing piece, like gnome-pilot seems to be the missing piece for syncing with Evolution. [04:48] izinucs thank you so much. hope this works. [04:48] rigved: that is fine it is just a temporary usb wireless adapter for the strange frequencies they use over here, im leaving in half a year [04:49] jesse_: I'd start with xrandr [04:49] rigved: ill give the depmod thing a go, thanks for the help [04:49] scottj: I remember having trouble with it and don't remember as clearly as you think. I think I followed install instructions. But hang on a moment and I'll jog my memory. [04:49] dzeremis: ok whatever, you can install pilot-link with apt/synaptic. in term sudo apt-get install pilot-link [04:49] edbian, one sec [04:49] Xqtftqx, take your time [04:49] Okay. Simply type that command into the kernel? [04:49] dzeremis: jpilot doesn't need to be compiled, it's in apt too [04:49] ANy thoughts about why my skype audio comes across with an echo? [04:50] I wasn't sure how to install pilot-link. [04:50] edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/588483/ [04:50] wizard1: best to put it in a script, that compiles the kernel module against the new installed kernel update and then copies it to the proper $(uname -r) directory; and finally runs modprobe for it [04:50] dzeremis: into the terminal, that's not a kernel [04:50] Xqrdrqx, are you on a macbook? [04:50] Excuse me, terminal is what I meant. [04:50] dzeremis: btw in the system menu, not sure where, there's like a install software link you can click and then install software like jpilot and pilot-link through that [04:50] quick question: if i have /home and/usr on seperate partitions from /, if the system goes down, i can reinstall ubuntu without modifying /home or /usr? Anyone? [04:50] Okay, jogging my memory, I think I must have installed it through the Ubuntu Software Center after having mega problems installing it. [04:51] hey guys, I installed U10.10 about a week ago, and it's been going smoothly until just today. Now it won't boot at all, and takes me to some sort of BusyBox initfs terminal. [04:51] rigved: ok if it works ill do that, since it is a wireless module, would /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless be the best place to put it? [04:51] Yes, I think we've found that. If you guys (or gals) will hang on just a moment, I'll try to install pilot-link. BRB. [04:51] Xqtftqx, what is the output of sudo iwlist scan (no need for pastebin, just tell me if it sees networks or not) [04:51] Heylo [04:51] im upgrading to ubuntu 11.04 [04:51] edbian, no such device [04:52] my audio input echos... [04:52] and its only downloading at 80 kbps [04:52] even when voice recording [04:52] Suhn, use the torrents :) make sure you seed though [04:52] izinucs: how can i get to xorg.conf to remove the options in the first two steps from that link? [04:52] Xqtftqx, can you pastebin the output of sudo lspci -k ? [04:52] folorn: I was playing cs:s the other day and thinking I really needed to shoot a rocket launcher [04:52] anyone here know why U10.10 boots into BusyBox initfs terminal instead? [04:53] Xqtftqx, Your dmesg strangely doesn't say anything about loading or not being able to load the b43 driver for your wifi. I wanna see what lspci thinks [04:53] shcherbak: thanks, what exactly is metacity (it worked, but I just don't understand what happened to my title bars and max min and close buttons) [04:53] Okay: very interestingly, pilot-link appears to be installed correctly. I have no idea how that happened. Now, how would I go about running pilot-link, if it's that simple? If it's equivalent to gnome-pilot, I'll bet it's just misconfigured. [04:53] edbian, okay. one moment [04:53] jesse_: that's why I mentioned trying xrandr first.. typically xorg.conf has nothing in it (on the current versions of ubuntu going back several releases).. [04:53] wizard1: yes. that will do [04:53] Xqtftqx, thank you. [04:53] edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/588484/ [04:53] Thanks to each of you for your help so far. I think I just need a little more and it will work. [04:54] attempting to boot off a liveusb, brb [04:54] rigved: thank, after depmod, it registers with modinfo [04:54] izinucs: alright then. this is a fresh install of ubuntu. so i can just skip the steps where it tells me to remove some options from that file?\ [04:54] going to see if it works on reboot, peace guys [04:54] scottj: still there? [04:54] u can dl that from the software center if your on linux/ubuntu its just right int he software center takes afew to get ur controls setup but after that happy fragging :) [04:54] edbian: b43 stuff needs firmware [04:55] Xqtftqx, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (does it give any errors?) [04:55] ohsix, Sure but it usually errors about it in dmesg [04:55] excelsior: metacity is not compiz, less heavy annoying way to display windows, you can try to compiz --replace to see if your compiz works. [04:55] Xqtftqx, Is this machine connected to the internet? Did you install b43-fwcutter? [04:55] jesse_: you trying for more than 2 monitors? [04:55] edbian, yeah over ethernet. and i did [04:55] dzeremis: yeah I have no clue I'm not going to install the software or read it's instructions [04:55] izinucs: no only two. one connected to each video card. [04:56] jesse_: are these older cards with only one connection on them each? [04:56] Xqtftqx, inside /lib/firmware/b43 is anything in there? [04:56] scottj: I wouldn't ask you to. At this point, I simply want to know if there's an easy way to figure out how to run a program: pilot-link. I'm not sure where in my computer it's stored. [04:56] izinucs: yes they are both pretty old. at least 7 or so years old. [04:56] dzeremis: in terminal run man pilot-link [04:57] shcherbak: after I run the above three codes I cannot access anything in www directory?can you please help me [04:57] edbian, b43 doesnt even exist. i usually back up the firmware but i made the stupid mistake of not this install. [04:57] jesse_: check out this link. It deals with xrandr and might (at this point) be worth a shot.. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115596 [04:57] scottj: It can't find it. [04:57] hmm i stil can't boot off a usb [04:57] No command "run" what did you mean? [04:57] Xqtftqx, Scroll down to installing b43 drivers and follow the instructions for how to get the firmware [04:57] dzeremis: just man pilot-link [04:58] is there at least a way i can make grub boot my usb? [04:58] edbian, where? [04:58] My audio is recording with a distinctive echo [04:58] There we go. [04:58] Xqtftqx, There is a bug on some machines that the firmware is not downloaded / installed by b43-fwcutter [04:58] Thanks. Let me see what I can do with this. [04:58] Xqtftqx, sorry here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:58] Xqtftqx, haha Maybe I should give the link huh? [04:58] is there a iOS developer in here? I am trying to figure out how to get iOS SDK installed on ubuntu and there is documents around but they are not the best for instructions [04:58] what's the name of gnome/ubuntu's graphical man viewer? [04:58] chinthaka: ok, please paste (at paste.ubuntu) output of ls -l /var/ww* [04:58] ruan current bios i know of, boots the usb first then grub [04:58] edbian, :P thank you, ill take a look :) [04:58] Xqtftqx, optionally, if you think b43-fwcutter is fine try purging it and installing it again. [04:59] ljsoftnet: usb/removable is set to first boot priority [04:59] scottj and others: Okay, that was as helpful as it gets for this topic tonight. Thank you all. [04:59] Hye there, how would I load a .py script onto a bot? [04:59] I am logging out, simply because I don't leave this computer up all the time. Thank you very much. [04:59] is there a iOS developer in here? I am trying to figure out how to get iOS SDK installed on ubuntu and there is documents around but they are not the best for instructions [04:59] it goes into grub anyway though [04:59] ruan you want to install ubuntu?

[05:01] ljsoftnet: i can't use my livecd because i dont have a cd drive === PuffTheMagic is now known as Puffy_pixi [05:01] edbian, it seems to not even run the setting up process. i already had b43-fwcutter installed, but i just purged and reinstalled, nothing happened. [05:01] ruan did you format the usb stick? or it just doesnt boot up, does it says any error? [05:01] bash: cd: /var/www/wordpress/: Permission denied [05:02] ljsoftnet: i did format it, it wont boot the usb at all [05:02] Xqtftqx, Yeah, something is wrong with that. Just follow the directions for how to get the firmware manually from that link. [05:02] ljsoftnet: it just goes into grub [05:02] Xqtftqx, again: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [05:02] chinthaka: did you just copy the wordpress files there? [05:02] ruan thats wierd, im all out on that [05:02] chinthaka: ok, sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www [05:03] My audio is recording with a distinctive echo [05:03] Xqtftqx, At the very bottom is b43 - no internet access. You need to do step 2, and step 3. Then if you restart networking (sudo /etc/init.d/networking) it should work. [05:03] chinthaka: my bad (forgot of directories) [05:03] ruan did you burn the iso on the usb stick? [05:03] edbian, alright. let me try [05:03] ljsoftnet: yes with usb creator [05:03] ok now it allows cd /var/www/wordpress/ after running sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www [05:03] Xqtftqx, The modprobe commands they give may also be useful [05:03] its all right [05:03] shcherbak: he should probably just chown www-data:www-data and permissions might be better at 644 [05:03] shcherbak: hey, I did a control c after doing the metacity --replace [05:03] ruan did you tried unetbootin? [05:04] and now my windows are messed up [05:04] ljsoftnet: yes i did [05:04] how do I change the default folder than Ubuntu receives bluetooth files to? === IdleOne is now known as WolfOne [05:04] Peddy: why?

Glad I could help! [05:06] excelsio1: oh, compiz did not worked, you need to restart x [05:06] shcherbak: isn't it easier to make all the files owned by apache (www-data) and have the user just belong to that group? [05:06] My audio is recording with a distinctive echo [05:07] shcherbak: will doing it from tty2 work? [05:07] jon_athon: did you try different audio settings?

[06:46] Zeeshan4u: check ubuntu software center [06:47] benzaldehyde, are we talking about something? [06:47] ohsix: Your approach is doomed to failure.

[06:51] henry`, through terminal, but it's not working so now I wanna delete it [06:51] Stava: yes technology--digital that is, either works 100 percent of the time or it does not. i read that quote when selecting hdmi cables. i was wondering what in the hell does a 'monster cable' serve a purpose for. turned out it was just a big waste of cable and money since it is digital [06:51] sudo apt-get purge danileigh79 [06:51] bullgard4: i understand them just fine [06:52] danileigh79, if you installed via apt-get, you can run apt-get remove xmms2 [06:52] danileigh79: sudo apt-get purge [package] [06:52] than k you henry, ruan, and xangua [06:52] i have installed adobe reader on my ubuntu 10.10 . but not working.

[06:54] benzaldehyde, i've never had anything that works 100 % of the time :o [06:54] pc: cantonese [06:55] Stava: the comparison was more about wire cable. on analog signals can be poor and come in at less than 100 percent but digital either comes in all the way or does not === aauthor is now known as tom_d [06:56] Stava: i hate gimmicky sales ads [06:57] benzaldehyde, thats interesting, but i dont think its the hdmi cable that is causing my flickering [06:57] Stava: but you have checked the wires? [06:57] its probably that nvidia driver [06:57] well im getting dmesg errors that seem to relate to the driver (nvram?)

[07:00] somehow lost connection and had to reboot [07:00] can someone help me ....basically install gone bad...http://pastebin.com/wnzaD5Wr [07:01] Anakin_n yes, sending mail outside of my network does not work. i get timeout message in mail.log [07:01] fail on line 36...cant find a fix for it http://pastebin.com/wnzaD5Wr [07:01] Sending mail to other users on my server works [07:01] ruan: personally i think someone is messing with your connection, i'm getting random freezes [07:02] haha I like the addition "NO APRIL FOOLS JOKES" [07:02] benzaldehyde: no one can mess with my connection, it's protected with WPA and a good password [07:02] scabs42: They're not joking either [07:02] hi there, i have question about save programm layouts in ubuntu 10.10, can someone explain how to do that? [07:02] ruan: i meant remotely [07:02] Apr 1 22:36:14 cannedHeat postfix/smtp[7636]: connect to b.mx.mail.yahoo.com[74.6.136.65]:25: Connection timed out [07:03] benzaldehyde: remotely? [07:03] Hi sevi, can you explain what you mean by saving programm layouts? [07:03] Is anyone going to package the newly GPL'ed "j" programming language? [07:03] I like to think of "j" as Ken Iverson's swan song, after he won the Turing Award for APL. [07:03] ruan: over the internet. DOS attack [07:03] benzaldehyde: oh. [07:03] benzaldehyde: how [07:03] cannonfodder: check if your kernel is supported [07:03] benzaldehyde: no one can see my hostname [07:03] I don't see why it wuldntbe [07:03] ruan: and you can crack into wpa if you get close enough [07:04] Anakin_n how do I change to 587 [07:04] benzaldehyde: im in an apartment [07:04] benzaldehyde: ohhhh [07:04] navatwo umm how do i look up my kernel version [07:04] `uname -r` [07:04] i mean, i open Skype, XChat and organise the Windows as i like. Now, i want, that when i startup ubuntu, i opens the Skyp, XChat and arranges the windows as i adjusted it [07:04] benzaldehyde: my router hasn't been connected to though [07:04] is that posiible? [07:05] thans navatwo [07:05] grub2 complains for syntax error file not found [Linux-bzImage, set= ,size= ] [Initrd, addr= , size =] , i`ve already use updage-grub but still show me this error [07:05] ruan: the entire point of cracking into wpa is to force a reconnect, that is where it gets the little bits of info to gather, wpa just gives off packets that one could scoop up. your getting DC would be the bet indication that someone was actually in the next apartment trying to reset you [07:05] this is something worth remembering to do things like the old way of doing things like doing things in a loop \O/ [07:06] *wep just gives off packets [07:06] benzaldehyde: hmm [07:06] benzaldehyde: again, i wish my isp didnt block me from accessing my router [07:06] jlee how you try with mail client or in terminal ? [07:06] sevi: Yes, you can open up 'Startup Application' it's under System->Administration I think. [07:06] ruan: wpa is all about the handshake, wep is packets , sorry [07:06] i'd be able to check the logs and block them :/ [07:06] Anakin_n: terminal [07:07] ruan: that doesnt make sense.. [07:07] anybody know ver 2 download mysql with all dependencies? [07:07] @ authoor: i have that open. Would be the Windows be arranged correctly? I'll just try that out... [07:07] navatwo: what doesn't? [07:07] sevi: There you can add the applications you want to open on start-up. They will remember where they were located when you last closed them. [07:07] ruan: that your isp wont let you connect to your router [07:07] jlee it's a little hard :) i'm now trying but info is a lot http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html [07:07] @ authoor: that looks nice, i'll try... [07:08] Anakin_n: no worries, gonna check the link out... [07:08] sevi: Good luck! :D [07:08] navatwo: some idiots messed with their routers and had to call the isp to fix it, i think that's why [07:08] @ author: Where can i found the installed Programms? ;-) [07:09] its not /your/ router? [07:09] navatwo: it is my router [07:09] navatwo: the isp was losing money from that occurring i guess [07:09] then they can't do that, I believe [07:09] jlee why not try to setup any mail client for TSL 587 , terminal is hard for test :/ [07:10] I would like to create a user account for a friend to ssh tunnel my Internet connection, but I only want him to have access to his /home/username folder. How can I do this when creating the user account? [07:10] rypervenche: add him to the right groups [07:11] Anakin_n: in the middle of that right now... [07:11] ruan: Would I have to chmod my home folder or anything like that? [07:11] rypervenche: you can't. you can protect OTHER /home dirs, but you can't disallow him access from reading system files. [07:12] hamachi and haguichi helps to resolve most of router and tunneling problems... [07:12] rypervenche: if you "chmod og-rwx " the other /home dirs, you'll get what you need. [07:12] he may not have write access to system files though [07:12] sevi: Most of your programs can be found in /usr/bin [07:13] If they are in there, you can just simply put there name in the 'Command' field of the add dialogue. [07:13] @ aaouthor: Thanks, got it! [07:13] SwedeMike: Are there any negative consequences to changing the chmod of my home folder like that? [07:14] rypervenche: well, it means nobody but you have access, so if that's what you want, then it's exactly what to do. [07:14] sevi and you can see list of installed programs in Ubuntu Software Center --> Installed Software [07:14] rypervenche, read this: http://gentoo.linuxhowtos.org/openssh/chrootedssh.htm [07:15] what is the best way to get a version of mysql that fixes this bug running on lucid? http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=48776 [07:15] guys is the encrypted /home that my installation cd actually encrypted? i recall reading that it is mounted and unmounted with a users password which made me think that this was not actually encrypting anything [07:15] Hi, in UBUNTU future versions (that will adopt Wayland+unity), if I build a sw bu gtkmm, this sw, will continue to be compatible/compilabe or not? [07:16] grub2 complains for syntax error file not found [Linux-bzImage, set= ,size= ] [Initrd, addr= , size =] , i`ve already use updage-grub but still show me this error [07:16] lonejack: it should [07:17] normally when uninstalling something like apache2 should i use purge [07:17] i want to be sure and get rid of all the damn configuraiton [07:17] configuration* [07:17] hello all [07:17] webPragmatist: that is exactly what purge does [07:17] yep [07:17] Just bought a new laptop, decided to wipe off Win7 and give ubuntu a go... is it a tough process to get drivers for webcam n stuff or does the livedisc have drivers on it/ [07:18] it has drivers for everything [07:18] benzaldehyde: uninstalls and deletes config [07:18] ? [07:18] webPragmatist: yes [07:18] interesting... i always worry about laptop devices having strange webcams n stuff so it might be hard 2 find [07:18] webPragmatist: man says: purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and [07:18] SwedeMike: Would that person be able to sudo and access my stuff? [07:18] purged (any configuration files are deleted too). [07:18] henry`: Thanks, I'll check it out. [07:19] grub2 complains for syntax error file not found [Linux-bzImage, set= ,size= ] [Initrd, addr= , size =] , i`ve already use updage-grub but still show me this error [07:19] Ruge: I'd try booting up a live disk and seeing what 'just works' you'll most likely be pleasantly surprised. [07:19] rypervenche: yes. [07:19] rypervenche: root can always access all files. [07:19] ajah: is the kernel image existent? [07:19] ajah: in /boot [07:20] Ruge: and you can do that before you go formating your drive. ;) [07:20] oo, ill do that then [07:20] ill dl the 11 beta and give it a whirl [07:20] :D [07:20] ruan, if u tell how to find this this kernel image knowing only its size in hex will good start [07:21] SwedeMike: So if he used sudo, he would just have to use his password to have access to everything, right? [07:21] ok. opening programms works fine. but the windows are not at the right position... also i arranged them on several Desktops, they are all on Desktop 1 (left), is there a way to remeber the Layout? [07:21] Ruge: The 11.04 beta1 live disk has some known issues on it. If you want to see what works well, I'd try 10.04 LTS or 10.10 first. [07:21] rypervenche: only if he's in the admin group [07:21] oh okay [07:21] im looking to make this proper install [07:21] so ill stick to 10.10 [07:22] hi all [07:22] cuz i dont have good internet where im going to travel [07:22] and looking for a fast os, hence ubuntu [07:22] Ruge: That's a good plan. While bugs get fixed fast in the beta, you'll need to have internet to grab them. [07:22] rypervenche: yes. if you don't want him to access everything, don't give him sudo rights. [07:22] now... LTS or regular [07:22] ive always wondered which one is best haha [07:23] ruan: purge doesn't seem to remove items dependant though [07:23] like i just did purge apache2 and it didn't remove preform [07:23] fork [07:23] is there a ppa with gnome 3? [07:23] Ruge: LTS stands for Long Term Support. When it means is that it's not the latest and greatest, but it's the most sturdy and solid. [07:24] *what [07:24] grub2 complains for syntax error file not found [Linux-bzImage, set= ,size= ] [Initrd, addr= , size =] , i`ve already use updage-grub but still show me this error [07:24] aauthor: perfect, thats what im after.. stability [07:26] is there a way to change performance level of gpu while using nouveau driver? [07:26] ruan: what percentage do you give to /home? [07:26] Hey, so I recently updated my kubuntu box and now I cannot connect to my wired network. /etc/network/interfaces is OK and `ifconfig` output is located here: ttp://pastebin.com/ZpRhKQjr [07:27] SwedeMike: So to give him sudo rights, he has to belong to the admin group, correct? And my home folder is chmod 755 right now, so that means he can look at my stuff, but he can't change it, right? [07:27] rypervenche: dude, with sudo he can do ANYTHING. [07:28] rypervenche: if you don't give him sudo and have 755, he can read but not write it. [07:29] benzaldehyde: ? [07:29] ruan: how do you slice your box [07:29] SwedeMike: Ok, but how do I make sure that I do not give him sudo when I make the account? I'm not sure what activates sudo powers. [07:29] benzaldehyde: i think you mean to talk to rypervenche [07:29] ruan: why? [07:30] benzaldehyde: well.. why are you asking me? [07:30] ruan: gather your opinions [07:30] benzaldehyde: oh [07:30] *gathering [07:30] benzaldehyde: how would i know what my percentage is? [07:31] ruan: [07:31] ruan: MB/entire disk times 100 [07:31] ohhhhh [07:31] sevi, Having programs start in different workspaces in beyond anything I've done before; however this is a mention of it in the documentation. Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75749t [07:32] partition percentages [07:32] my /home and /root and everything is on one partition [07:33] ruan: same here [07:33] but my /home dir takes up 34.1gb which is about 40% of the drive [07:34] rypervenche: he gets sudo by you entering his account name in /etc/sudoers [07:34] rypervenche: "man sudo" for more information [07:34] anyone here had success with using upnp in ubuntu? [07:35] ruan: if you upgrade won't you lose all your /home since / is on the same partition? [07:35] benzaldehyde: how? [07:35] encryption in ubuntu? [07:35] SwedeMike: SwedeMike Great!

Then I found an old harddrive, 15 GB. Should I install Ubuntu on that 15GB HD? or should I move files onto the 15GB and make it a shared drive and install Ubuntu on the end of the windows disk? Mainly because this is a computer my family will be using [07:41] RaJiL: to save your self headaches anyways I would advise agianst using 64 bit [07:42] Hello, I installed kernel 2.6.33-29-realtime which cured the audio troubles I was experiencing, but at the cost of Nvidia drivers. The system installed is Ubuntu 10.10 but the kernel is designed for 10.04. What can I do to get the Nvidia drivers working again? [07:42] I think getting them to select different disks on boot will be harder than selecting different OSes on the same disk [07:42] Here is where I got the kernel from: [ https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+related-software ]. [07:42] SwedeMike: Oh, quick question. If I changed my home folder's permissions so the person cannot read, say 700, do I have to do it recursively, or would it not even matter since they cannot access the folder? [07:43] Technicus: system > administration > hardware [or proprietary] drivers [07:43] it looks like a mobo icon [07:43] or additonal drivers ^ [07:43] MK`: dual use is never a good idea, you can if you keep at it configure ubuntu desktop to be friendly enough for your family to use. what will happen is one OS will be used and the other will get overlooked. use both drives for ubuntu [07:43] navatwo: ruan: That does not work. [07:43] Technicus: why? [07:43] The sole program they use that is windows-only is iTunes [07:44] wine will work for that [07:44] navatwo: I dont know, how can I figure that out? [07:44] ok, thanks [07:44] ruan: you sure [07:44] Technicus: why do you say it does not work? [07:44] i remember an appdb review [07:45] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21302 === Milos is now known as meow === meow is now known as Milos [07:45] Adding folders, they do that all the time [07:45] What was not tested [07:45] Synching with iPod/iPhone [07:45] lol [07:45] can someone please tell me where the terminal app is located? [07:45] im coming... [07:45] Accessories [07:46] xzcvczx, gnome-terminal is one.. it's probably in system [07:46] yagoo: a path would be great [07:46] xzcvczx: also, ctrl alt T [07:46] MK`: ubunu is bluetooth ready [07:46] xzcvczx, should be in menu [07:46] with thousands of trouble.. [07:46] yagoo: would be great if i had one [07:46] ruan: perfect, thanks [07:46] I dunno... [07:47] navatwo: because when I attempt to activate the drivers the response is: [ SystemError: installArchives() failed ]. [07:47] xzcvczx, then install.. look up gnome terminal.. or just use tty1 (ctl-alt-f1) [07:47] ctrl alt f1 is a fullscreen terminal [07:47] MK`: all of internet explorer's upgrades are based on firefox's ideas [07:47] xzcvczx, ctl-alt-f7 brings back to gui [07:47] yeah i just couldn't be bothered going into console [07:47] MK`: since the license is free they can copy them and they do [07:47] Oh I know :P [07:48] evil ie :( [07:48] ruan: :D [07:48] navatwo: I am sure that because of the kernel change there is a problem. I had to deactivate the drivers for the new kernel to be able to startX. [07:48] they are indeed copying, i've seen every single feature they copied [07:48] benzaldehyde: and of course firefox has never taken any ideas from ie [07:49] what's the name of ubuntu's own wip xserver? [07:49] smartscreen is one of them [07:49] wip? [07:49] I do want to keep the XP installation for testing [07:49] as I am a programmer [07:50] xzcvczx: mozilla i think was around before ie so what microsoft hasn't stolen from xerox is all firefox's as far as i know [07:50] MK`, XP is not a good platform to program on. XP sux [07:50] but, I'd like the family to use Ubuntu exclusively. Is there another music library thing I can use instead of itunes to use on an ipod? [07:50] MK`, you sure you're in the right channel? [07:51] navatwo: I installed kernel 2.6.33-29-realtime because kernel 2.6.35-28-generic will not work with the Tascam US-122L USB audio interface. [07:51] Just looking for advice :P [07:51] benzaldehyde: just because x is older than y it doesn't mean that one stole all from the other and nothing went the other way [07:51] MK`: no matter how you slice it linux isn't windows, there are always alternatives [07:51] I'm sorry,its nothing related to ubuntu.but,how do I download files from bazaar.launchpad? [07:51] I will take a backseat to any other inportant queries [07:51] yagoo: those kind of comments aren't topical [07:51] MK`, you're not a developer. #XP. [07:51] If I changed my home folder's permissions so the person cannot read, say 700, do I have to do it recursively, or would it not even matter since they cannot access the folder? [07:51] * yagoo doesn't believe itunes is on linux. [07:52] MK`: You can use other ones to sync your music, but for syncing applications via iTunes, you have to use iTunes. I have a VM set up just for iTunes. It's the only thing I use it for, haha. [07:53] xzcvczx: no, certainly not, although it makes it about nine times greater chance that all their ideas are in great thanks to the community [07:53] It's all music, they are ipod nanos [07:53] rhythmbox and other players support syncing at least music to ipods [07:53] you can use an ipod specific program to sync other things [07:53] MK`: It's not too much to setup ubuntu on the 15GB drive. Just select manual partitioning when you go to install ubuntu. After you tell it how to set everything up, it will do the rest [07:54] MK`: Especially if it's your first ubuntu install, it wont hurt to just try it on the 15GB drive [07:54] No I have Ubuntu installed on my laptop; stopped using Win7 on that [07:54] can I get a sound/volume button on my top panel? [07:54] MK`: You can use Anorak then, I believe it was. [07:55] MK`: Well it's not really more difficult to setup ubuntu on the other drive. You just have to get the partitioning right [07:55] Google says Amarok autocorrect :P [07:55] rypervenche: no, you only have to change your actual home dir. [07:55] I will have no problem setting it up [07:55] jlee any news :) ? [07:56] I have a HDTV video. Which player support it?

How can I determine the maximum amount of memory used by a command? [07:56] Ell: VLC should [07:57] SwedeMike: Ah ok, great. I was afraid I was going to have to change the chmod of all of my files, that will be no problem then :) Thanks again and sorry for being so bothersome.

[09:11] hmm. i'll report ram and cpu usage of flash here [09:11] oCean: wow, no sony laptops are on that list at all [09:11] ohsix: i have a desktop that dual boots windows and kubuntu, and a laptop that dual boots os x and xubuntu [09:11] ohsix: which is rather funny as apple would be rather stuffed if adobe decided to stop make all their products for mac [09:11] (it's worse in safari cuz you can't really block it without disabling it) [09:11] 39% cpu and 30 mb of ram, youtube video [09:12] making* [09:12] it's not objectively worse, maybe a few percent if it's just one instance compared across platforms [09:12] no problem with the video, no choppiness etc [09:12] any idea how well Ubuntu runs on macbook pros? [09:12] ohsix: Shockwave Flash 10.2 r153, that the latest experimental one? [09:13] Rehan: i would imagine pretty well. my laptop is a 2006 macbook (non-pro). but it runs xubuntu perfectly. only thing that doesn't work is the webcam [09:13] truepurple_: no idea [09:13] Rehan: well, it is just a list of "certified" hw. Lots (and lots) of other machines work very well with ubuntu [09:13] anyone know how to report a bug....and the fix to it? I got both but no idea where to put it [09:13] Axlin: does it not have the chicony webcam? [09:13] im on flash 10.2.153.1 [09:13] Why my flash plug-in always crash? [09:13] !bug | ralph [09:13] ralph: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [09:13] ralph: whats the bug for? [09:13] Axlin: i see. why do you use xubuntu instead of ubuntu if you don't mind me asking. I'm a complete noob. [09:13] no crashing here [09:13] not sure ohsix. haven't really looked into it (don't use it often) [09:14] okay thanks [09:14] its a vaio webcam no detection bug [09:14] Rehan: i use it just because my macbook is on the slow side. i could probably use gnome just as well, though. but this gave me a chance to try out xfce [09:14] thought its gonna be fixed in 11.04 cause relatively easy but still no detection without fixing it [09:15] Axlin: lol i have a mini from early '06 and it still runs snow leopard with a vm running ubuntu fine :P [09:15] hehe yeah i believe you xzcvczx. but i was getting irritated with how slow snow leopard was compared to kubuntu on my desktop. plus, i was simply growing partial to linux in general [09:16] Axlin: i am sort of moving in that direction due to apples idea they can now charge for anything and everything [09:16] yeah. i'm not really a fan of apple's recent direction either [09:16] Axlin: Is Shockwave Flash 10.2 r153 the latest version? [09:17] truepurple: i believe so. that's the version i have installed [09:17] Axlin: You find the one meant for 64bit to work better? [09:18] truepurple_: only in firefox 4, for me personally. i was getting all kinds of strange artifacts while watching embedded videos. that's gone with the 64b version [09:18] Axlin: Someone here told me once that the 64bit actually didn't work so well, and I should go to 32 [09:18] though in any other browser, the regular one worked just fine [09:18] dunno. the 64 bit preview version has been working quite well for me so far. your mileage may vary though :P [09:19] How do I check if I have autoupdate of ubuntu on? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [09:19] when i type in the search box of youtube i cant see the letters... i changed the theme of the browser but nothing... any ideas? [09:19] amalgama: and your theme? [09:19] it should be enabled by default, checking daily. if you're unsure, open update manager, and check your settings [09:19] amalgama: ubuntu theme [09:20] amalgama: what colour is the text in your theme? [09:20] ruan: my theme?? you mean my desktop theme's ?? [09:20] ohsix: How do I check if I have autoupdate of ubuntu on?

I want to capture a small sequence of screenshots and save them as .gif (please dont' ask why ;-) Any idea how to achieve this? [09:21] ruan: give me a minute [09:21] Axlin: If it is enabled, why should I check daily? Where is update manager? === KindOne is now known as MeanOne [09:22] truepurple_: no, i mean the default is that it automatically checks daily. update manager is in system -> administration (i believe... i'm actually using xubuntu at the moment) [09:22] So, what is the shell command to take and save a screenshot? [09:22] truepurple_: you can also open it with alt+f2, enter "update-manager" without quotes [09:23] vlt: gnome-screenshot might be able to do it from vmdline [09:23] xzcvczx: Thanks, I'll try. [09:23] vlt: you can use printscreen on the keyboard [09:24] vlt: other wise i am sure there are plenty in the package manager for it [09:24] ruan: lol i forgot about printscrn button... i haven't had one in years === MeanOne is now known as KindOne [09:24] ruan: But that doesn't save it. (And I dont want to hit that key 50 times every 50 ms ...) [09:25] ah [09:25] you can also convert a video into a set of .gifs [09:25] Axlin: Ok I got update manager up, but I don't see if its set to update daily or not. When I click on settings it asks for a password and does not accept mine [09:25] record desktop > convert to gif [09:25] truepurple_: well are you able to sudo to root? [09:26] xzcvczx: I don't know what that means [09:26] truepurple_: gksudo update-manager [09:26] truepurple_: who set up your computer? [09:26] xzcvczx: I did [09:26] ruan: record using wich tool? [09:26] vlt: not sure, but there are some in the repos === michael is now known as Guest79021 [09:26] Ubuntu 11.04 has aero snap-esque functionality built in?! What's more surprising is I've been using it for a month, and just now noticed. [09:27] aauthor: aero snap-esque? [09:27] any way to have all terminals set to root permanently? Or a single command which sets the current terminal to root? [09:27] akashm1990: you do NOT want all terminals as root [09:27] aauthor: Your welcome ;) [09:27] there is a reason that its not in the first place [09:27] akashm1990: and sudo su - [09:27] ruan: Ok that terminal command worked, but how come the gui interface didn't work [09:27] but be careful === thricer is now known as sm` [09:28] fuckbuntu? [09:28] about the bug reporting...turns out my little add on is not considered a bug but I suppose a driver issue...where would I report that?

[09:28] and don't come crying here when you kill your system [09:28] sudo su - it will set the current window to root? xzcvczx [09:28] xzcvczx: Where you drag a window to the left or right side, and it's resized to take up that half of the screen, and when you drag it to the top, it maximizes the window. [09:28] ubuttu hush now baby, don't you cry! [09:28] akashm1990: use 'sudo -i' to invoke rootshell [09:28] xzcvczx: Are you talking to me? [09:28] Vizirka: do you have a support question?

[09:29] Vizirka: stop that language please [09:29] ralph: well does it have an upstream from ubuntu? === michael is now known as Guest46875 [09:29] akashm1990: yes [09:29] Axlin: Can you help me figure out why I can't access it through menu? [09:29] oCean bruder it is english [09:30] akashm1990: aka you can break it [09:30] Vizirka: burritos are yummy [09:30] xzcvczx: what do you mean with upstream? [09:30] How to remove all lines shorter than 3 characters from a file? [09:30] I hate the mexician foods [09:30] im new to ubuntu lol [09:30] akashm1990, yeah, you don't want or need to be root, use the proper privilege elevation methods for the task [09:30] xzcvczx, ok, will not do it then. I thought root was something like UAC in Vista [09:30] ralph: well unless its made by canonical its made by someone else and appropriated by ubuntu [09:30] ikonia bruder wake up puppetboy, please! [09:31] akashm1990, UAC equivalent is sudo or gksudo basically [09:31] !sudo [09:31] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo === michael is now known as Guest74216 [09:31] the clock on gnome-panel has stopped work and I don't know why. every time I kill the panel it updates itself as the panel reopens but it stays as it is no seconds changing nothing.. could someone pls help me? [09:31] @Antonis try restarting [09:31] akashm1990: you can do nasty things like "rm -rf /" as root [09:31] truepurple_: if you're the one who set up your account, it shouldn't be rejecting your password if you're typing it correctly [09:32] ! resetpanel | Antonis [09:32] Antonis: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:32] I think ubuntu without KDE very well. With KDE ( dirty dozen of bugz ) not useable [09:32] akashm1990: If you cat walks on your keyboard, you don't want to accidentally format your hardrive. ;) [09:32] akashm1990: or cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sdaN [09:33] well that's the thing though, I went through forums and many people with a vaio have that issue...and I the fix so I think some developers should take a look at it and include it to the drivers package [09:33] truepurple_: or did i just misinterpret your problem? [09:33] Axlin: I am typing it in correctly, and it works fine if I use gksudo update-manager, if I use that command it asks for my password before it loads update manager. If I use menu, it asks for a password when I click on settings, and I am SURE I have the right password, absolutely positive [09:33] Vizirka: Than eat a "taco". (notice the ""'s) [09:33] ralph: hence it goes to who made the drivers package for it.... not ubuntu/canonical [09:33] ....if that is how things go here. I'm not sure haha [09:33] thanks guys [09:33] xzcvczx, Commands seem interesting to read, Does the 1st one delete the current working directory and the second one format a partition? [09:33] hi why doesn't ubuntu recognize surfsticks as /dev/ttyUSBn? how can i make it work [09:33] truepurple_: is it rejecting your password when you click the settings button then? [09:34] akashm1990: the first one nukes everything on your hard drive [09:34] yeah but there must be some place to um..post it haha [09:34] well all the partitions that are mounted [09:34] Danielcg25 brother no. But give me boutils of Tequila [09:34] Vizirka: please stop [09:34] and the 2nd one will overwrite the partition with random numbers [09:34] oCean bro: Have you any problem? [09:34] Axlin: When I go through menu, if I use the command instead, it asks for the password before loading update manager, accepts that password, and does NOT ask for a password when I click on settings [09:34] xzcvczx, definitely deserves the tags then [09:35] ralph: well if you look at what package the drivers came in it will say what the website for them are [09:36] truepurple_: but it accepts the password either way? if that's the case, then the reason is that using 'gksu update-manager', you're launching with root permissions to begin with. otherwise, it's launching without those privileges and has to ask you for them after you click the settings button [09:36] akashm1990: although be aware gettings roots as easy as restarting your computer :P [09:36] Folks I forgot the name the guy who is trying to help me wih grub, One of they are BlackWeb and the other I forgot. Anyway Thanks to both [09:36] Axlin: No, it does NOT accept the correct password if I go through menu [09:37] Justice and Freedom for Palestina [09:37] truepurple_: did you try gksudo update-manager [09:37] ruan yes, I said I did [09:37] Vizirka: shut the fridge up [09:37] I think you misunderstood me. Everything is fine running Vista...yest Ubuntu has issues picking up the camera as it recognizes it while not being able to work with it in neither Cheese, nor Skype, or whatever camera bound program you wanna use [09:37] truepurple_: oh, that's odd. i'm not sure why that is then [09:38] xzcvxzx are you da cionist?

[09:49] how can i use it, use to use foobar2k on windoes [09:49] yeah but idk...wait for ocean what he has to say [09:49] if i had a sample cue file, hmm [09:49] A_J: well does it have a bin? [09:49] A_J: there is a player which can use cue files on ubuntu [09:49] A_J: search 'cue' on ubuntu software center [09:49] ralph: truepurple_ sure it will work, but once you have set a password for root user, we cannot provide the support you might need [09:49] mplayer i *think* can [09:50] How big do I need to make the swap when installing?

[09:51] raven: with startup applications in system > pref [09:52] oCean: how about just passwd that should do it, maybe he just needs to reset it [09:52] ruan, sry i do not know where [09:52] raven: system > preferences [09:52] raven: i am sure google has plenty of more suitable ways to do it [09:53] ralph: maybe, but he did login, in his session right? [09:53] ah ok tnx [09:53] truepurple_: I'm not aware of your exact problem. You want to upgrade? [09:53] oCean: idk...kinda jumped in late also [09:53] ok [09:54] is there a way to change performance level of gpu while using nouveau driver? [09:54] oCean: The exact problem is certain commands issued through system adminstration menu rejects my valid password, but if I go through terminal for those same commands, it works [09:54] guys do you know of any web development application with interface? I don't expect it to be as complicated as dreamweaver is but something I can create forms, tabled etc. and style them === ttl_ is now known as ttl- [09:55] truepurple_: ok. What version ubuntu are you currently using? [09:56] oCean: 10.10 64bit [09:56] truepurple_: check your system logs and see if you have errors in there [09:56] How? [09:56] truepurple_ yeah then just go into terminal, type passwd , hit enter, type your current password, enter, new (different password), then confirm and hope [09:56] xzcvczx: How? [09:57] truepurple_: tail /var/log/messages -n 100 [09:57] xzcvczx: Type that into terminal? [09:57] no type it into your web browser [09:58] xzcvczx: that is not helpful [09:58] Why webbrowser? What does my browser have to do with system commands? === prx__ is now known as prx [09:58] truepurple_: ignore that last comment.

[09:59] Well I am still learning linux, very new to it [09:59] no kidding [09:59] oCean: i really don't care... he needs to learn to help himself a bit [09:59] Alot to absorb, especially when everything isn't working right [09:59] awesome attitude [09:59] xzcvczx: that 'humor' is not welcome in this channel, thanks [09:59] oCean: its not humor [10:00] go up a bit, i posted you terminal line and see if it works, it pretty simple [10:00] truepurple_: when you try (in terminal) gksudo update-manager ..does it work? [10:00] it's been tried [10:00] oCean: Yes I said [10:01] truepurple_: Ok, I understood that you could not get into updatemanager. But it's actually that you cannot get there through menu [10:01] What's a good LCD font for Linux? [10:01] oCean: That seems to be the case, like its a GUI issue [10:01] truepurple_: indeed.

[10:02] truepurple_: might be related, though feisty release is very old [10:02] preferences>appearences [10:03] prx: indeed, doesn't mean its perfect through [10:03] oCean: Well I don't understand enough of it to make sense of that [10:03] -r [10:03] prx, yes. But sudo does not set correct environment when working with gui [10:03] xzcvczx: By frontend i meant not a reimplementation, but it actually calls sudo [10:03] oCean: ic, thx [10:04] !gksudo [10:04] 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) [10:04] oCean: Ok I got that log, now what? [10:05] truepurple_: I don't think anything useful will be in that log. I agree it has to be gui (gconf) related. [10:05] I think i got what gksudo does... its like su vs su - [10:06] asek [10:06] so essentially 'sudo su -' in a shell yould take care of that, correct? [10:06] prx: read here about sudo vs gksu(do) http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [10:07] oCean: im reading right now [10:07] ruan: oCean: That gksudo thing apply to me too? [10:07] kinda [10:07] truepurple_: can you try this command in terminal? gconftool --get /apps/gksu/sudo-mode [10:08] oCean: All it did was say "False" [10:08] lower case f [10:08] ello [10:09] can we get suport for natty here too ?

[10:13] truepurple_: nope, from gksu.... [10:13] Hi all. I have a problem with flash player on firefox. When i try to run two flash video in different tabs one of them that is crush. What can i do for this problem? [10:13] javahorn: type sudo apt-get install ike-qtgui from a terminal or use ubuntu software center and search 'vpn' [10:13] oCean: I don't understand [10:13] ruan: let me try [10:13] why doesn't this script work: http://pastebin.com/6g0a3nSX [10:14] truepurple_: type this without the quotes: "gksudo gconf-editor" [10:14] mister2: how doesn't it work? [10:14] ruan: it just doesn't ever echo [10:14] oCean: Err.. [10:14] Ocean Ok done [10:14] mister2: echo -n $date [10:15] Salih-k: I was having trouble using gnash (flash alternative) too, deinstall gnash, and install adobe-flashplugin, that should to the trick [10:15] mister2: wait.. [10:15] oCean: Why would you run gconf-editor as root? [10:15] soreau: oh wait, indeed [10:15] gnash uses up way to much CPU anyway [10:15] mister2: $date isn't a variable [10:15] truepurple_: nvm, please exit the application gconf-editor for a moment [10:15] soreau: thanks :) [10:15] prx: but î [10:15] date=%date [10:15] ruan: oh o.o [10:15] oops [10:15] I used this guide to install LAMP http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies [10:15] either way, i think oCean has the solution. i was able to reproduce the problem by unchecking the "sudo-mode" key :) [10:16] How can I open phpmyadmin now? [10:16] Axlin: sounds good! [10:16] soreau: Thanks as well, I didn't understand any of that, but it might have saved me some trouble [10:16] wait so what was i supposed to do for read? [10:16] prx: but i am already using adobe [10:16] Axlin: Is that directed at me? [10:16] truepurple_: you can start the gconf-editor command again, without the gksudo, so, in terminal: gconf-editor [10:16] truepurple_: somewhat. just listen to what oCean has to say :) [10:16] oCean: truepurple_ [10:17] mister2: use a different method of getting the date [10:17] Salih-k: You may want to run your browser inside a terminal, as this gives additional errormessages which might be helpful [10:17] oCean: truepurple_: You can mess up your permissions by running user apps as root [10:17] mister2: wait, date is a command [10:17] mister2: hold on, im going to experiment [10:17] soreau: yep, that is why we now run the gconf-editor as user [10:17] soreau: Is "gconf-editor" that? [10:18] oCean: Done [10:18] truepurple_: click the (+) sign next to Apps, then from the list select gksu [10:18] Salih-k: have you deinstalled the gnash plugin? It may still be on your system being used despite you installing adobe-flash [10:18] truepurple_: Yes, all settings in gconf-editor are stored in $HOME/.gconf and many gnome apps use these settings [10:19] truepurple_: If they were to become owned by root, other user apps would no longer be able to write and save settings [10:19] soreau: Are you telling me not to listen to oCean? [10:20] truepurple_: So far as running gconf-editor as root (with gksudo), yes [10:20] 8====D [10:20] * Danielcg25 runs [10:20] soreau: But as just "gconf-editor", it is fine? [10:20] truepurple_: yes [10:20] truepurple_: but we corrected that mistake, thanks to soreau, and now we are running it as yourself, not as user,remember? [10:20] oCean: Done [10:20] truepurple_: in the right pane you see "sudo-mode". Since the command said "false" it is NOT selected, correct? [10:21] truepurple_: I mean, the box is not ticked [10:21] oCean: I don't understand it all though, so I wanted to make sure I understood correctly is all [10:21] truepurple_: yes, that is very smart [10:21] oCean: It is not ticked, ALL the boxes are unticked [10:21] truepurple_: now tick the box for "sudo-mode" [10:22] done [10:22] is there any chatroom for backtrack users??? [10:22] truepurple_: you can quit the gconf-editor, and run this command again: gconftool --get /apps/gksu/sudo-mode [10:23] !backtrack | grigoriades [10:23] grigoriades: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [10:23] oCean: It just said true this time [10:24] truepurple_: great! Now it's time to test if this solution works! Try Menu > system > administration > updatemanager (for example) [10:24] go off work now [10:25] oCean: It worked! [10:25] !yay | truepurple_ [10:25] !!!! [10:25] truepurple_: Glad you made it! :-) [10:25] holiday [10:25] lol the bot has !yay [10:25] truepurple_: nice. What you now actually did, is tell the gui backend to use the same method for authentication as you do on the commandline. [10:26] oCean: And so does synaptic package manager, which no longer asks for a password at all [10:26] truepurple: O.O [10:26] oCean: Ah, what was it doing before? [10:26] Anyone could install anything then! Or uninstall...thats not a good idea [10:26] Hello everybody.........Does anybody want to help an Ubuntu rookie configure a wired network card???? [10:27] truepurple_: not sure. It tried to authenticate without sudo, but there is no administrator password, so it failed. ... is what I think [10:27] daniel you mean remotely? [10:27] truepurple_: You can also re-own all files in .gconf by running as your normal user: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.gconf [10:27] truepurple_: Danielcg25 no, it will ask for a passwd once the sudo timeout has expired or an other user tries it [10:27] soreau: I don't know what you mean by "re-own" [10:28] truepurple_: It will only not ask for password if you have entered it recently [10:28] soreau: truepurple_ there's no need to chown the gconf files, since we edited as user, not as root [10:28] soreau: Actually, that whole line seemed like gibberish to me [10:28] sudo chown -R /all/your/base [10:28] i'm pretty sure it stores permissions for 15 mins... it should ask for your password again after that time. this is normal behavior [10:28] oCean: I didn't understand what you just said too [10:29] truepurple_: hang on [10:29] truepurple_: see what Axlin said, last line ^ [10:29] Axlin: New to me, before it asked for password every time [10:29] truepurple_: sudo authentication has a method to store your "granted access" for 15 minutes (in the same shell) [10:29] And it really got old [10:29] truepurple_: ie. in case you ran gconf-editor with escalated permissions (with sudo, gksu or gksudo) and changed any setting (it will write the file as root and subsequently own it to root) then you can recursively (that is what -R means here) re-own the permissions to your normal user with the aforementioned command [10:30] Hello everybody.........Does anybody want to help an Ubuntu rookie configure a wired network card???? [10:30] soreau: Y [10:30] soreau: Sorry, you will have to dumb that down alot if you want me to understand that [10:30] truepurple_: Lets just assume everything is ok :) [10:31] Bill_: What is the card connected to? [10:31] soreau: So no changes? [10:31] truepurple_: I agree with soreau there, it seems the issue is fixed [10:31] nice find on that bug from Axlin though :) [10:31] truepurple_: Should be fine, I was just making a point [10:32] oh, that gksu bug? thanks, but it was you who found the solution oCean ;) [10:32] soreau: Sorry I couldn't understand it for you, perhaps I will shove it into a tomeboy note and hope to understand it in the future [10:32] truepurple_: The underlying message is, never run anything as root unless you know why you need to [10:32] Fluxbox is so the bomb! [10:32] doesn't get as old school when running irssi in xterm [10:32] Axlin: .. I got hinted by that bugreport :) Anyway, I'm off now. [10:32] \join #python [10:33] soreau: Even there, I don't know what it means to run things as root (except for real basic principle) or even if I have run X command as root or not [10:33] \\join #python [10:33] flynn3: tried that, strained my eyes, 32 inch flat screen [10:33] truepurple: You would need to know this. root ist the administrator, allowed to do _everything_ on that machine, even do bad stuff [10:33] benzaldehyde: yeah I had to skwint to see your name. comes up yellow [10:33] !find ncurses [10:33] truepurple_: Running as root means you used gksu, gksudo or sudo, or if you are logged in as root at your terminal, the last character will be a #. For user, the last char for your prompt is $ [10:34] oh, i see what you mean. i missed that post, heh. well cool [10:34] truepurple: so you would want to minimize doing stuff as root [10:34] Found: lib64ncurses5, lib64ncurses5-dev, libncurses5, libncurses5-dbg, libncurses5-dev, libncursesw5, libncursesw5-dbg, libncursesw5-dev, ncurses-base, ncurses-bin (and 11 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ncurses&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all [10:34] flynn3: white backgrounds are never the way to go [10:34] soreau: Administrator and user are the same to me, being the only person who uses this PC [10:34] !find /usr/include/zlib.h [10:34] File /usr/include/zlib.h found in zlib1g-dev [10:34] benzaldehyde: yeah, i've always been a fan of gnome-terminal and others like it (terminator) [10:35] !find /usr/include/ncurses.h [10:35] File /usr/include/ncurses.h found in libncurses5-dev [10:35] flynn3: i am gnome termin' it in irssi [10:35] !find msgfmt [10:35] Found: liblocale-msgfmt-perl [10:35] truepurple_: That is the mistake most people make. They are entirely not the same thing [10:35] truepurple: it is not the same as an ordinary user, although an user might become root. Why should there be root if it was the same [10:36] Hello everybody.........Does anybody want to help an Ubuntu rookie configure a wired network card???? [10:36] Bill_: What is the card connected to? [10:36] PCI [10:36] benzaldehyde: nice! I have a built in terminal on my desktop that I use for irssi. wee-chat is a bit easier to read with the colors [10:36] Bill_: I mean the wire [10:36] ! who | Bill_ [10:36] Bill_: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[11:00] ljsoftnet, be more specific [11:00] qwebirc61633: also this isn't arch. [11:00] how do i find out how to "killall" a specific program? how do i find the correct name of the process to kill ? [11:00] qwebirc61633: but nice choice on a distro [11:00] prx: no, it's not a setting in BIOS because same settings have different results, it's so problem in Ubuntu [11:00] tim167: ps auxw | grep partofprogramname [11:01] tim167: sudo ps -eF | grep -i "process name" [11:01] lucidium something is loading on the background after, the home page is loaded [11:01] tim167: i don't know but i think it has something to do with pid [11:01] I upgraded my network card, Ubuntu recognizes it, and recognizes when the ethernet cable is plugged in.

[11:04] Samuel: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [11:04] ! locate | Sami345 [11:04] Sami345: locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb [11:05] qwebirc61633: of course this also might be because of the kernel doing something wrong, but then it's the BIOS again, as things are not standardized [11:05] Bill_: if you know your own ip address, then try this: Applications > Accessories > Terminal. in the terminal type: ping ip_address <-- enter your own ip address here [11:05] that file is empty?

[11:09] spyzer: there's an online thing like pastebin called twiddla [11:09] iceroot, its PHP Data Objects [11:09] prx: spyzer but the current vi(m) is not designed for that. the newest vim-release can do it but its not in the repos [11:09] iceroot: ohh [11:09] spyzer: but i think i misspelled twiddla [11:09] Samuel: maybe have a look at #php, oder #httpd [11:10] i'll have a look iceroot [11:10] hmm, so the program i want to "killall" identifies as "java", but there is a second program by the same name in "top" that i don't want to kill...now what? [11:10] any more suggestions please [11:10] tim167: use the pid [11:10] tim167, get the process number and use "kill " [11:10] oops, beaten to it [11:11] tim167: specify the name better, so only one matches, or filter by hand, reading what you actually want [11:11] iceroot: lucidium: but how do i get the correct pid? because i can not know which one of the two processes called "java" it is...? [11:11] tim167: dont specify the name better.. just use the pid [11:11] tim167: memory usage or cpu usage [11:11] tim167: if you are in gnome there is also a thing you can add to the panel, i forget the name but it gives you a medical alert type line of your cpu usage and if you right click it is like a taskmanager [11:11] tim167: look at the time the program was started maybe thats helps [11:11] need a password list for wpa [11:11] tim167: of each process [11:12] tim167, the process number is the number on the far left in top [11:12] aconite: ? [11:12] aconite: we can't help you with cracking here [11:12] tim167: you might be best off using top [11:12] i need a longer pasword list [11:12] to crack wpa [11:12] aconite: the biggest word lists are english oxford dictionaries in text form [11:12] Samuel, maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=364883 [11:12] aconite, get a dictionary somewhere else [11:12] ruan: i thought everyone knew that [11:12] aconite: generate it :) [11:13] tim167: itll show processes by CPU usage first, if you press m youll get memory usage, pressing k allows you to fill in the pik you want to kill [11:13] pid [11:13] hey all... i had ubuntu installed, but then installed windows in unpartiitoned space... so then when u startup windows just loads (no grub boot menu or anything) - what do i need to do to get a grub menu back to be able to get into linux again? [11:13] tanks [11:13] aconite: we will not support any attempts for you to crack WPA - please don't ask again [11:13] lucidium: prx: ok, so i'll have to make an involved script to find and distinguish the two pid's of the two java processes... [11:13] tim167: just make one of the processes use the cpu, it will distinguish their pids [11:14] tim167: itll get involved, as you might need to parse out the CPU usage (highest first) or memory usage, find the pid ans finally kill it [11:14] OomElvis, you need to reinstall grub [11:14] so id need the ubuntu cd and then? [11:14] hmm [11:14] ill google it [11:14] heh [11:14] prx: ruan: I start both with a script, so i guess i'll write their pid's to a file as they are started one after the other... [11:14] OomElvis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:15] OomElvis, yes, but with the alternative disc [11:15] tim167: or use system monitor and see where they're started from [11:16] rigved, it says unknown host ip address in the terminal [11:16] tim167: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-3056.html [11:16] tim167: http://blog.dhampir.no/content/how-to-kill-a-process-that-uses-too-much-cpu [11:16] Bill_: are you sure that you typed your own ip address? [11:17] i'll ask here as well [11:17] I need to create a xorg.conf file for 1024x768 resolution [11:17] [06:10:27] Also, I looked at the partitions, and it has the Extended partition (which contains the same-sized ext4 partition) and the Swap partition [11:17] [06:10:41] but on my other installation of linux, the swap is under the extended partition along with ext4 | did I do it wrong? [11:17] anyone can help [11:17] Bill_: ping my_won_ip [11:17] what is a good movie maker for ubuntu? i didn't like the default one. [11:17] prx: thanks, the reason why i need to killall the process is that it sometimes crashes, and then i need to kill and restart it, i don't think it uses too much cpu though... [11:17] rigved, I believe I did, lemme double check [11:18] tim167: ic, then saving the pid somewhere seems best [11:18] devin_: just sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:18] Bill_: run: ifconfig <-- run this in the terminal. it will give you your own ip [11:18] devin_: doing so creates the .conf [11:18] benzaldehyde: I did, then what [11:19] Bill_: rigved: terminal- ping localhost or route [11:19] bensaldehyde: what can I do to edit, sorry for noob question [11:19] devin_: then i don't know, i use ps3videomode to set resolution, sorry [11:19] blink, video editor? [11:20] When I try : $ mplayer -vf ::-32 myvideo.avi # I have two black lines at the top and the bottom of my movie. [11:20] brontosaurusrex, nevermind, i found PiTiVi [11:20] blink, i'd use kdenlive [11:20] blink: have you tried openshot?? [11:20] lucidium: why the alternate cd? === dani is now known as Guest26613 [11:20] devin_: essentially you would put in your arguments and then ctrl X then hit y and enter [11:21] OomElvis, it will allow you to install grub without completely reinstalling ubuntu [11:21] devin_: sorry been busy with a idiot trying to msg me and harrass me. your trying to setup a xorg.conf right? [11:21] OomElvis, unless you want a complete redo of your system [11:21] cool [11:21] Yes [11:21] Should I reproduce this with mencoder? Because: mencoder -vf expand::-32 -oac copy -oav copy myvideo.avi -o myvideo_out.avi # doesn't work :-/ [11:21] rigved, here is my terminal out put. sovereign420@sovereign420:~$ ping my_own_ip ping: unknown host my_own_ip [11:21] xorg.conf [11:21] do I just enter vga=791 [11:22] Thanks everyone who is helping [11:22] this is a big problem for me [11:22] heizmann, what are you trying to do? [11:22] Flynn3, no. I'd give it a try. lemme just see how it goes with me on PiTiVi [11:22] devin_: i think they begin with Section and EndSection [11:23] brontosaurusrex: Well I want to put two black borders at the top and the bottom of my .avi [11:23] devin_: your going to have to kill gdm and then kill X in order to generate a xorg.conf ...it's a bit tricky, this guide does a good job of explaning it: http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html [11:24] brontosaurusrex: The reason is I've got a 16/9 TV, but it's old (tube) TV... [11:24] I can't poweroff the computer in an old machine using Ubuntu, but I can using Archlinux.. So obviously the problem is not the BIOS. How can I fix this? [11:24] Flynn3: I will give it a try, thanks [11:24] qwebirc61633: #ubuntu-server is the correct place to ask [11:24] devin_: [11:24] rigved, here is my terminal out put. sovereign420@sovereign420:~$ ping my_own_ip ping: unknown host my_own_ip [11:24] devin_: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D83973&rct=j&q=ubuntu%20change%20resolution&ei=OfmWTZ_UF8PdtweM5s2MDA&usg=AFQjCNG3CV8Afneld2S08IoUgYjBaQWAnQ&cad=rja [11:24] ikonia: no, because I tried with Ubuntu Desktop and also doesnt work. [11:24] devin_: granted it says 9.10 but it's the same guidelines as in newer versions of ubuntu [11:25] qwebirc61633: you said you where using server now, so please ask in #ubuntu-server [11:25] ikonia: and tried 10.04 [11:25] that url seems a bit long [11:25] devin_: after you do that your going to have to mod your xorg.conf [11:25] qwebirc61633: you said 1 minute ago you where using server, so please ask in #ubuntu-server [11:25] ikonia: it's not a Ubuntu Server problem, it's a probkem with Ubuntu in general! [11:25] Highlight me when you get to my question please :) [11:25] qwebirc61633: you said 1 minute ago you where using server, so please ask in #ubuntu-server [11:25] I have found a big bug in ubuntu 11.04, the screen is completely dark on the Acer Aspire 5732z [11:25] Thats why I ask here [11:26] ikonia: you dont need to repeate youself. I read what you typed [11:26] rick__: What gpu does it have? [11:26] Bill__: ping google.com [11:26] qwebirc61633: then please comply [11:26] MK`, question? [11:26] and im explaning why Im asking here. [11:26] Bill__: ^^ what does that give you? [11:26] devin_: that was supposed to be this sorry http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 [11:26] ikonia: it is a problem of Ubuntu, not just Ubuntu server. I left ubuntu server channel and now im asking here. [11:26] this is not against any rules. [11:26] heizmann, uhmm, example for adding two lines at the top and two at the bottom mplayer -vf crop=640:480:0:0,scale=640:480,expand=:482 [11:26] Where can I found the GPU?? [11:26] heizmann, if video is 640x480 [11:26] devin_: benzaldehyde's will work but you'll have to generate a xorg.conf file first [11:27] Bill__: Can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [11:27] What like I have? [11:27] qwebirc61633: are you currently running the desktop or server edition [11:27] desktop [11:27] devin_: unless you are on a older ubuntu. I think 8.10 or before. i might be wrong when they stopped using it [11:27] qwebirc61633: wow, you changed from server to desktop really fast [11:27] let me look see [11:28] Flynn3: i can confirm that 9.10 stopped using xorg.conf [11:28] ikonia: really fast? like in 5 minutes? [11:28] rigved, lemme look see [11:28] [11:28] I can't poweroff the computer in an old machine using Ubuntu, but I can using Archlinux.. So obviously the problem is not the BIOS. How can I fix this problem? [11:28] qwebirc61633: making it easy... what kernel version works, and what doesnt [11:28] qwebirc61633: what are the kernel versions of the two different OS's [11:28] prx: other OS kernel is recent why wouldnt work in Ubuntu? [11:29] ok, I see... I try this now :) [11:29] ok [11:29] When I go to Places->Connect to a server and I 'mount' an FTP server, where does it mount it? Can I access it from the command line? [11:29] ikonia: i will check the kernel of arch [11:29] Orakel [11:29] nanodano: ~/.gvfs maybe [11:29] Can I install a older kernel version in Ubuntu 11.04?? [11:29] rick__: Keep it here in the main channel please [11:29] rick__: the kernel versions match the distributions [11:29] !natty | rick__ [11:29] rick__: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [11:29] ikonia: ubuntu's kernel is 2.6.35-28-generic [11:29] qwebirc61633: "recent" doesnt tell me anything... recent would be 2.6.38.2 [11:29] nanodano: i think it probably goes to /mnt [11:29] rick__: The output of 'lspci|grep VGA' from your terminal will tell you [11:29] jrib: It is in ~/.gvfs thank you [11:29] yes prx I need to check arch kernel brb [11:30] heizmann, http://resize.110mb.com/index.php?ssmw=640&sar=1&sar2=&ssmh=480&CT=&CL=&CR=&CB=&mplayCrop=&trw=&dar=1&dar2=&modw=&modh=&padw=&padh=484&css=&doit=true [11:30] Thank you soreau [11:30] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [11:31] thanks :p :p !!! [11:32] I just installed Ubuntu on an old PC and I looked at the partitions, and it has the Extended partition (which contains the same-sized ext4 partition) and the Swap partition, but on my other installation of linux, the swap is under the extended partition along with ext4; did I do it wrong? [11:32] MK`: this should not matter at all [11:32] Ok [11:33] ikonia: just to clarify my situation even more.. I am currently using Ubuntu Desktop on 2 machines, and I run server in another one.. I usally join both channels. thats why I asked about the same issue in the 2 channels... [11:33] MK`: are you experiencing problems you think might stem from this or anything? [11:33] no I was just curious [11:34] hum, concerning to "mplayer -vf crop=640:480:0:0,scale=640:480,expand=:482", what is the equivalent with MENCODER (not mplayer) ? :) [11:34] heizmann, no idea, i would think they use the similar command line? is the mplayer cli working? [11:35] qwebirc61633: sudo poweroff -fpv [11:35] heizmann, exactly the same, except with the -oac -ovc and -o [11:36] qwebirc61633: and on two different machines you're having the same problem ? [11:36] heizmann, but you can't use -ovc copy [11:36] yes ikonia [11:36] ikonia: no lol, the 2 version in same machine [11:36] qwebirc61633: are the machines the same [11:36] lucidium, heizmann exactly, this need to be reencoded [11:36] lucidium: uummm... not exactly, well, with mencoder, I never black borders with the same command (adding -oac copy -oav copy) [11:36] hi [11:37] ikonia: desktop and server cant poweroff in the same machine [11:37] lucidium: no -oac copy ? mmhhh... I see [11:37] qwebirc61633: that same machines also runs arch ? [11:37] heizmann, making these kinds of changes means you have to re-encode the video [11:38] qwebirc61633: any kernel versions yet? [11:38] qwebirc61633: sudo shutdown -P now [11:38] excuse me i am using ubuntu, and i have problem whit routing table [11:38] snapp: how so? [11:38] snapp: just ask the question [11:39] how do i make the leftmost partition so that it becomes sda1? [11:39] lucidium :) I understand... So, it's something like: mencoder -vf crop=640:480:0:0,scale=640:480,expand=:496 -oac copy -oav xvid mymovie.avi -o mymovie_out.avi # ??? according to I want the same quality for the video [11:39] rigved, out put, sovereign420@sovereign420:~$ ping google.com ping: unknown host google.com sovereign420@sovereign420:~$ ping google.com ping: unknown host google.com sovereign420@sovereign420:~$ sovereign420@sovereign420:~$ ping 8.8.8.8 PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

[11:39] rigved, and that was the result for all 200 some tries, it said the same thing, [11:40] heizmann, with reencoding the quality will not be the same [11:40] ikonia: the arch was to try if it would shutdown [11:40] prx: just a second [11:40] heizmann, getting the same quality is going to be fairly hard. You'll have to add options for xvid. [11:40] because unable to play a flux in my TV :-/ [11:40] if i delete this row: route del -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1 , but when I reboot, this line comes back to me again, how can I do to eliminate it once and for all? [11:40] qwebirc61633: does it still have arch installed ? [11:40] ikonia: it's livecd [11:40] qwebirc61633: that's not a valid test [11:40] ikonia: and tried with ubuntu livecd [11:40] qwebirc61633: try it with the ubuntu livecd [11:41] already did [11:41] ahh, how did it work with the ubuntu livecd [11:41] :) [11:41] no [11:41] if i delete this row: route del -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1, when I reboot, this line comes back to me again, how can I do to eliminate it once and for all? [11:41] it didnt work in ubuntu livecd! [11:41] Flynn3: avidemux haven't a frontend... so, it's not interesting to reencode several files with a script [11:41] how can i remove audio from video in PiTiVi? [11:41] qwebirc61633: so ubuntu livecd doens't power off, ubuntu install doesn't power off either [11:41] qwebirc61633: what happens when you actually try to power off ? [11:41] Bill_: it means that even though your card is recognised by Ubuntu, your ISP is blocking your net access. do you have another Operating System (like Windows or Mac), from which you can connect to the internet? [11:41] heizmann: ah i see [11:41] how do i make the leftmost partition to be sda1? [11:41] lucidium ok, I see lucidium :) thanks for all [11:42] hai.... [11:42] snapp: why would you want to delete your own subnet? as soon as you take the interface up with an ip (using ifconfig) youll be in the subnet, as thats what one would expect [11:42] ikonia: i can poweroff by pressing power button for some seconds.. in bios one press and shuts down,. but via terminal it does not [11:42] qwebirc61633: what actually happens when you tell the machine to power off through ubuntu [11:43] ikonia: i hear a click in HDD and it shows a message: system halted [11:43] good day all [11:43] but does not poweroff [11:43] heizmann, uhmm, so what exactly is your playback machine? [11:43] qwebirc61633: what power managment process was the arch system using ? [11:43] need to find out [11:43] are partitions labelled in the same order as the order of creation? [11:44] prx: i have two net card, but i want delete this route: route del -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1 , because when i reboot, and return this route, i have problem whit my connection ssh on interface eth0 [11:44] has anyone ever seen a process taking up like 90% CPU before? [11:44] does anyone know stuff about partitions here? [11:44] :) french material: a LiveBox + 16/9 tube TV [11:44] ikonia prx: the Arch kernel is 2.6.33 the ubuntu is the latest 2.6.35-28-generic(pae) [11:45] !anyone | mr_boo_ltp [11:45] mr_boo_ltp: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [11:45] mr_boo_ltp: what kind of stuff? [11:45] prx: i want delete this row forever [11:45] qwebirc61633: and the power managment service it's using ? [11:45] ikonia: how can I check? [11:45] ikonia: services --all ? [11:45] anyone wanna help me download this cobra theme? [11:45] ask the arch guys ? [11:45] look at the kernel config [11:45] ok ill check [11:45] specifically, does anybody have an explaination as to why a process is taking up 90% CPU, if it's a problem and how to remedy it? [11:46] rigved, let me run this past you to see if this makes sense to you. The way I am able to communicate and try this out is, I am using the same computer, same internet line. Just plugging the ethernet cable into the new card to test, and back to the old card to talk to you. So even though its the same internet connection/same computer, just different card. Does this help? [11:46] archangelpetro: kill the process [11:46] archangelpetro, it's a zombie process [11:46] archangelpetro, kill with "kill -9 " [11:46] ikonia: i've tried killing it [11:46] benzaldehyde: do you know how to make the leftmost partition to be named sda1? [11:46] archangelpetro: may need to reboot then if it's a zombie [11:46] lucidium: it's still there? [11:46] rigved, My ISP isnt blocking me on that old card is what Im saying [11:46] well, is there some local.start script in ubuntu somewhere? [11:46] archangelpetro, then you gotta reboot. [11:46] Bill_: i think it does. are you connected directly to the cable modem? [11:46] hmm [11:47] i do not know startup at all [11:47] so there's just a random process in memory that can't be killed? [11:47] archangelpetro: not if it's zombied [11:47] why has the indicator applet not been fixed in 10.04 but has in 1010 [11:47] prx: you understand my problem? [11:47] archangelpetro, the cleanup routine started when it got the SIGTERM signal glitched [11:47] Bill_: when i say directly, it means that the cable wire goes from your computer to the cable modem [11:48] snapp: yes, id suggest you put that line in a local, user defined startup script, but i do not know ubuntu enough to suggest where to put it [11:48] lucidium: i see [11:48] rigved, through a router first. 2 in one router and modem [11:49] archangelpetro, more details are in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process if you're interested [11:49] rigved, when you said, "you think it does" what did that mean exactly? [11:49] mr_boo_ltp: leftmost? [11:50] Bill_: make sure that the router is configured to allow access to both the network cards. <-- what this means is that the router needs to know about the MAC address of both the cards [11:50] Bill_: So you have two ethernet cards in the same machine? [11:51] is there any possiblity when i click the icon show desktop that my screenlets won't also hide [11:51] rigved, that is correct, yes....... [11:51] kubanc: No, that is what compiz widget layer is for [11:51] benzaldehyde: the one located at the beginning of the drive [11:51] rigved, lemme log into my router config [11:51] Bill_: Does the output of ifconfig show an eth0 and eth1? [11:51] soreau, compiz widget is in compiz setting manager? [11:52] Bill_: its important for the router to say it has DHCP enabled [11:52] kubanc: Its widget layer plugin in ccsm [11:52] mr_boo_ltp: are you using gparted live/ [11:52] soreau, yes, it recognizes both [11:52] qwebirc61633: gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog [11:53] benzaldehyde: yes [11:53] Bill_: Try this: Plug in the other card again and, assuming you are currently talking on eth0, run sudo dhclient eth1 [11:53] prx, it is configured that way. my old NIC card works fine [11:53] mr_boo_ltp: with the graphical interface? [11:53] benzaldehyde: yes [11:54] my google search and youtube is in hindi, how can i make it in English.. [11:54] A_J: google translator [11:54] soreau, correct, thats how it is, lemme try that [11:54] soreau, so i need to install Compiz Config Configuration Settings Manager ? [11:54] A_J, check the browser settings, languages section [11:54] err i mean by default Flynn3 [11:54] brontosaurusrex checking [11:54] kubanc: yes [11:55] hey guys i'm wanting to setup a dual screen display for my computer, i have two screens connected by dvi (a hdtv and this monitor) and i'm wanting to have them both connected, with each screen as a different desktop or alike (to watch movies on the tv while im on the computer), however in nvidia x server settngs under config i'm getting "nvidia-settings currently does not support scanout screens (0) that have dynamic twinview disabled."

[11:59] daniel__: emerald and metacity are window decorators. some themes need one or the other to work [12:00] eveningsky2: you are unable to boot at that point [12:00] Bill__: Great, that sounds like it worked [12:00] I want to be a good in system programming What should I do [12:00] mr_boo_ltp: the first partition you decide to do no matter what the size or from what end of the volume ought to be sda1 so long as it is a primary partition, i would thing [12:00] *think [12:00] I have my nautilus preferences set to icon mode at 150%, but I dont want desktop icons that size, just plain 100% will do... yes I wanna keep them... any ideas?

[12:02] sorry my cats on the keyboard [12:02] A_J, the filter intl.accept_languages [12:03] *then [12:03] kubanc: You have to add screenlets to the widget layer and use the keybinding to invoke it.

[12:07] siddhantchd nice question [12:08] Bill_: After it says renewal in how ever many seconds, check that you can ping the router ip, then 8.8.8.8 and finally google.com in that order [12:08] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10626801 [12:08] daniel__: applications>system tools> gtk-chTheme [12:08] Bill_: try what soreau says ^^ [12:09] how do i make the partition at the beginning of the disk sda1? [12:09] daniel__: you might have to right click the desktop and go to change desktop background>go to the theme tab> and click install [12:09] soreau and rigved, okay gimme a sec [12:10] A_J, yes [12:11] when i start gparted, it crashes, why? [12:11] no error [12:11] hi i try "killall 6062" but i get "6062: no process found", how do i kill a process by its pid ? [12:11] tim167: kill [12:11] mr_boo_ltp: you need to use gparted from the LiveCD to move sda1 and make free space at the start [12:12] soreau thanks i'll try that [12:12] daniel__: this is the one i use: http://customize.org/gtk/themes/64840 need emerald to install it though but it looks nice if you like dark themes [12:12] A_J, the filter intl.accept_languages [12:12] brontosaurusrex ^^ [12:12] i looked at all of the system logs but cant find anything related to gparted [12:12] Flynn3, hmm its not themeing everything [12:12] A_J, yes, you search for "intl.accept_languages" [12:12] tim167: top | grep "name_of_process". next use the kill command as suggested by soreau ^^ [12:12] yea found two results === sm is now known as Guest50363 [12:13] A_J, what do they say? [12:13] rigved: the problem is there are two processes called 'java' i have to kill one of them [12:13] services.sync.prefs.sync.intl.accept_languages;true === Guest50363 is now known as sm` [12:13] intl.accept_languages;chrome://global/locale/intl.properties [12:13] ruan: are you not getting any messages when you try to run gparted from the terminal? [12:13] Flynn3, ill try urs how do i install emerald [12:14] Flynn3, like the sudo apt-get install .... one [12:14] rigved: i'll try that [12:14] tim167: name the source (bytecode) files differently and kill what you find by doing ps aux | grep java | grep someidentifything [12:14] daniel__: looks like you need emerald as well to install the rest of it [12:14] rigved: it gives a stack trace [12:14] probe_partition_for_geom() failed. [12:15] Flynn3, ok lets get me in it or is it harder then i think ? [12:15] prx: i don't know how i should "name the source (bytecode) files differently "...? [12:15] daniel__: sudo apt-get install emerald [12:15] tim167: are you staring two times exactly the same code? [12:15] * soreau & [12:15] prx: no, two different java programs [12:16] soreau, i disabled hide skip taskbar windows in general options, and now screenelts won't hide [12:16] tim167: then those two different programs have different names, right? [12:16] ok its going [12:16] daniel__: it is pretty easy in ubuntu to install themes, you just need to right window decorator installer. emerald is usually more flashy [12:16] kubanc: #compiz [12:16] A_J, ill make a snaphot of what i have there .... [12:16] prx: yes, but in 'top' they both appear as "java" [12:16] ruan: bug 558431 [12:16] tim167: grep that name, as you see the commandline after java, too [12:16] Launchpad bug 558431 in parted (Ubuntu) "gparted crashes at startup - Assertion failed (dup-of: 545911)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/558431 [12:16] Launchpad bug 545911 in parted (Ubuntu) "GParted crashes with Assertion (head_size <= 63)" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/545911 [12:16] ok [12:16] rigved: right, thanks [12:16] tim167: grep auxw should show the commandline, too [12:17] fix released? checking update man [12:17] i.e. the parametres to java [12:17] nope, no gparted update, only qt4 [12:17] Flynn3, idk how u say that i need compiz emerald gtk and who knows what else i will need [12:17] i want to remove qt4 but it has some dependant apps :/ [12:17] ruan: if a fix was released, it'll probably be committed in natty [12:17] well one dependant app [12:17] rigved: right.. will a livecd still work? [12:17] ruan: yes [12:17] A_J, bbl [12:17] but can the kill command be used with a pid as argument?

[12:19] ruan: still, if you think that it's a bug, please report it in the same bug number - 558431 [12:19] hey guys [12:19] sure [12:19] Jessica there [12:20] ruan: on a file system or partition [12:20] ruan: as partition table, sure [12:20] Question for a LUbuntu distro, long shot but maybe someone knows. hey people. wondering why the command sudo /etc/init.d/lxde stop dont work.... isint the desktop of Lubuntu LXDE?

[12:21] ruan: thats because of some alignment, that is good to have [12:21] prx: alignment? [12:21] ruan: You have cylinders and tracks (virtual) on the hdd, so win starts a new partition on a new track [12:21] hey [12:22] ruan: not soing this might cause trouble when you use newer hdds, which have bigger sector sizes (4096 bytes instead of 512 bytes) [12:22] hmm k [12:22] hey [12:22] Shogoot: you shouldn't stop services like that, you should use the service command (may be unrelated to your issue however) [12:22] soreau, out put. sovereign420@sovereign420:~$ ping 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

[12:49] It just means that it is not used by any packages , I think [12:49] hilarie: read the list, make sure you don't actually want any, and proceed.

[12:59] Shogoot: you wouldn't see any change in the menu. Just run your normal kernel choice and X won't start [12:59] jrib, ok gonna try :) [12:59] rodhash: For that, maybe Shutter will suit you [13:00] rodhash, if you are happy with some scripting, you may want to use imagemagicks [13:00] rodhash: gnu paint [13:00] !info gpaint [13:00] gpaint (source: gpaint): GNU Paint - a small, easy to use paint program for GNOME.

[13:02] SandySynaptik: yes [13:03] ruan: who? [13:03] how can i make GNASH work with youtube and other flash related stuff [13:03] wonderworld, i didnt bother to figure out that, but what seems to work is to run the connect-to-server command (or shortcut) from allready open nautilus window, instead of shortcuts, also this behaviour i noticed only on karmic [13:03] nopf: ? === doodoo is now known as Dart [13:03] it plays swf very good only youtube and other stuff wont work [13:03] Zulo, use pastebin for your current script [13:03] ruan: joking. not 04-01 anymore though [13:03] lol [13:04] GOMI: the commercials all word ;) [13:04] work [13:04] jrib, works :) but i tried to do startx and it fails, is it another command?

For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [13:05] hello, where are emsene incomplete file transfers saved ? [13:05] GOMI: there are 2 things called flash today: 'flash games' and 'flash video' ... in the beginning, flash video had another name, wasn't from adoboe, wasn't even in the definition for flash player. it's just some video codec. [13:05] Im receiving a large video file, and it stopped at 93%, where can I find the file? I check /tmp [13:05] Thanks Guys, gpaint worked perfectly.. it's quick and light.. I was going to use gimp but it's really heavy.. \o/ [13:06] GOMI: so better install some arbitrary video player embeddable to browser if you like, with the right codec [13:06] Actually I'm new to 'Linux' and There is an outdated version of Firefox there on Ubuntu 10.10, I have downloaded Latest firefox from mozilla website named "firefox-4.0.tar.bz2" How to install this version of Firefox???? [13:06] !firefox4 | SandySynaptik [13:06] SandySynaptik: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [13:06] GOMI: you might try to install adobe-flashplugin and uninstall gnash, might work, might not [13:06] This IRC Channel is the best.. o/ [13:06] GOMI: for me, gnash never played flash *video* [13:06] gomi, if you just want flash, then this magic cmd may work: sudo apt-get --purge remove swfdec-mozilla adobe-flashplugin browser-plugin-gnash gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla; sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-nonfree [13:07] GOMI: and yes, like prx said, the *adobe* flash plugin plays flasch animations and flash videos. but is proprietary etc ofc [13:07] jrib, works. THANKS! [13:07] oke [13:07] But I have to install this without and internet connection... Is there any way? [13:08] hi all! [13:08] is it incorrect to have a partition with no operating system on defined as primary? [13:08] SandySynaptik: with the .deb package perhaps [13:09] mr_boo_ltp: no, i have a drive with no operating system [13:09] mr_boo_ltp: yes, but it should not be marked "bootable" [13:09] ruan: what's the point of so called "logical" partitions then? [13:10] prx: that drive with no operating system has the boot flag :p [13:10] mr_boo_ltp: you cascade partitiontables if one is becoming full (each can i believe hold 4 partitions), thats where the extended partitions come from === manio_ is now known as manio [13:10] while firefox is being mentiond ( i know this isnt the Mozilla channel or whatever ) but under windows, FF 3 and FF4 can be installed and kept running seperatley, does this work in Ubuntu, or does installing FF4 overide FF3? [13:11] ruan: thats unfortunate, then you depend on the BIOS boot order to pick the correct one [13:11] prx: when i installed ubuntu, it always installed grub on the other drive [13:11] prx: the one with no os [13:11] prx: on my old drive i had linux swap as extended i think [13:11] prx: and it still booted [13:11] ruan: yep, because that one was marked bootable [13:11] prx: on my new it is primary and i can still boot [13:11] DirtyDawg: if you install it with the mozillateam/firefox-stable PPA, it will replace 3.6 [13:12] ahh k mate, ty for the info [13:12] Those MSDOS partitiontables are hopefully becomint obsolete soon, as ppl should go on and use GPT [13:12] prx: is the extended or logical partition concept an efficiency issue? [13:12] mr_boo_ltp: its not [13:12] prx: what could be the possible drawback for me when having both swap and my personal files defined as primary then? [13:13] prx: yeah [13:13] mr_boo_ltp: none, if you are not using 4 partitions already, the 4th then should be the extended [13:13] in order to be able to seamlessly scale up if needed [13:13] prx: but it always chose the one with no os, even when my boot order was different to what it chose.. i reinstalled ubuntu 3 times to discover that [13:14] ruan: seems some stupid MS partitioning tool messed that up, they always suck at stuff like marking partitions bootable [13:14] prx: i think i've been able to both move a primary partition and even rescale it with gparted [13:14] ruan: you may however fix this, if you are careful [13:15] prx: my drive boot order had to be swapped to boot ubuntu [13:15] mr_boo_ltp: i hope you had done backups before doing this, as using gparted might be risky [13:15] prx: yes of course [13:16] ruan: its quite easy so set the bootable flag in, say fdisk oder gparted, if you like so [13:16] if you want stuff done right, do it yourself (or at least dont let MS do it ;) [13:16] yeah, i wish i realised that before i reinstalled ubuntu 3 times [13:17] how do you enable internet connectio nsharing without using network manager [13:17] ruan: i thing you can still change that, as partitions are identified using ther unique ID [13:17] so the actual order and which disk it is shoudnt matter [13:17] 有大陆的人吗 [13:17] prx: it didnt detect grub before i swapped the disk order [13:17] !sn > cjm [13:17] prx: thanks [13:18] how do you increase the screen resoltuion of the virtual terminal?

[14:17] cvam: right click panel, add to panel, notification area [14:17] cvam: Right click on the panel and hit "Add to Panel" [14:17] can some one tell me how to get the tool bar at the bottom with the trash can back? [14:17] hackathon: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook/care/ [14:17] no a tab used to maximize by clicking on it [14:17] cvam: so right click the pannel and click add to panel and add it again [14:17] !panels [14:17] To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:18] maximise, hmmm [14:18] *crashed* hi all , after the last update of ubuntu 10.4 i have a problem with locale, anyone knows how to fix? [14:18] itaylor57 thanks [14:18] hello? [14:18] cvam: maximise what exactly? [14:18] remoteCTRl http://pastebin.com/2DkJPVen [14:18] vincent_: thax gimme a sec pls [14:19] hi, where can I go to learn about CRUX? [14:19] brontosaurusrex: thx, now my beloved nm-applet is back again *laughs* [14:19] google? [14:19] conbot: #crux maybe [14:19] vincent_: so there you go your /dev/sda1 is mounted on / , that means that is your filesystem root [14:19] ok, i'll try that, thx [14:19] sorry ruan Its mistake [14:20] I got the solution [14:20] I'm just trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 and when I get to a part where I should select where to install Ubuntu, I move the slider to 50 GB and after I click Continue I get a message: "An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted." Does anyone know why this is happening? [14:20] vincent_: and then there it says /dev/sdb1 is mounted on /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad please notice the "bad" at the end [14:20] remoteCTRl what about my sdb1? [14:20] ok sorry [14:20] vincent_: that is the disk that you are looking to delete on [14:21] I wonder why there are so many updates of ubuntu all the time [14:21] vincent_: as far as i understood you you wanted to delete in order to free space there right? [14:21] yes, the ubuntu updates took up too much space [14:21] vincent_: DON'T! save your data and watch it die [14:21] my disk is not dying [14:21] it doesn't make the sound anymore [14:22] point is you can probably not delete data there because the disk is mounted read only [14:22] xskydevilx_: defrag/scabndisk the windows drives befor.. or use windows to resize the partition. leaving part of the HD unallocated. [14:22] due to the immanent failure [14:22] vincent_: its name is /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad [14:22] vincent_: it made the sound once.. that fact its not making noise now. does not mean its not dieing. [14:22] what a complicated name [14:22] Dr_Willis: I'll try that. Thanks. [14:22] vincent_: at leat ubuntu thinks it is dying... [14:22] vincent_, you can setup the updates to only install security stuff and not bother with anything else === PinkUnicorns is now known as nhandler [14:23] remoteCTR1: thats the UUID. if you gave it a label. it would use that instead.. No diea about the 'bad' at the end however. [14:23] yes but the security stuff alone is too much already I have only say 111 MB on my disk free [14:23] Hard drives are the weakest link in hardware these days i find.. Eventually they all will die. :) [14:23] which should be enough but it isn't [14:23] vincent_: your pastebin says the disk is mounted rw [14:23] that's not funny Dr_Willis! [14:23] I have a question about Firefox: It appears that there are several places for them ~/.mozilla/plugins/~/.firefox/plugins/ /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ So the question I have is; In what order does firefox search for any particular plugin? [14:24] Dr_Willis: just a conicidence? :D [14:24] vincent_: what part? I have had more hd's die then any other hardware failure. [14:24] Dr_Willis, any light on that tunnel for the future? [14:24] Hd's then power Supplies. [14:24] why didn't that happen in the old days? [14:24] It appears that there are several places for plugins: ~/.mozilla/plugins/~/.firefox/plugins/ /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ So the question I have is; In what order does firefox search for any particular plugin? [14:24] vincent_: what Dr_Willis said... [14:25] terry: the first two are local, the second two are global [14:25] vincent_: they have always been one of the weakest links.. with the new hd's and speeds and storage size. and other stuff.. they are a lot more complex. [14:25] vincent_: so how do you try to delete files on that disk? [14:25] vincent_: what remains to be seen is if the new SDD's are more durable. [14:25] SSD [14:25] you shoud see that one in "plces" menu btw [14:25] RIP :) [14:25] Dr_Willis: depends strongly on what purpose you use them for... [14:26] my hd is super old, not dead yet [14:26] look, my hd doesn't seem to be dying! I can access it and it doesn't make the sound anymore, it hasn't for about half a year or so [14:26] io: I realize that, but for any one particular user that runs firefox; what is the order in which firefox searches for a plugin? (There has to be an order.) [14:26] remoteCTR1: i dont own any yet. I need spaace not speed normally [14:26] vincent_: *sigh* but you cannot DELETE fiels on it, right? [14:27] well bbl. [14:27] no, so ubuntu thinks it's dying [14:27] terry: as a guess (which is better than nothing) I'd say the global ones, but you can always check with them directly [14:27] Dr_Willis: so do i and i have loads incoming simultaneously... [14:27] vincent_: use smartmontools to check the health of the drive [14:27] vincent_: what do you mean ubuntu thinks it's dying? [14:27] terry: #firefox [14:27] vincent_: no, after what you said I thought... :D [14:27] you guys told me [14:27] does anyone know why some of my files randomly go corrupt on ubuntu server? [14:27] vincent_: if a filesystem error is found. the system can remount the filesystem as read only. if its writeable once.. then a few min later its not.. check 'dmesg' output. [14:27] vincent_: i do ask you for like the 5th time now HOW you attempt to delete the files? [14:28] with sudo in a terminal [14:28] show the command [14:28] sudo delete /etc etc. [14:28] does anyone know why some of my files randomly go corrupt on ubuntu server? [14:28] Dr_Willis: we checked sudo mount output it is mounte rw [14:28] no, show the exact command you are trying to use [14:28] io: What I ASSUME is that firefox first searches ~/.firefox/plugins/ then ~/.mozilla/plugins/ then /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ then /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ But this is only an assumption. Is that right? Or not? [14:28] and the exact error was? [14:28] actually, run the command, and paste us the output also [14:29] cd /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad [14:29] vincent_: you gotta be kiddn me! [14:29] ah okk [14:29] terry: I'd say the global ones first, but not definate [14:29] vincent_: if you d /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad [14:29] guys, I'm sort of insane a bit.. but I still can live in an extraordinary way [14:29] how to install keduca on edubuntu 10.10? any link would be appriciated [14:30] dude, just show us what you are typing in when you try to delete files off the drive [14:30] vincent_: then it is of course not sudo rm /etc anymore but sudo rm -R etc [14:30] but I don't want the /home dir to be deleted [14:30] ??? [14:30] yes I understand you [14:30] vincent_: cd /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad [14:30] sudo rm -R /etc [14:30] sudo rm -R etc [14:31] not /etc [14:31] but etc [14:31] Every time I log in to my session I have to start "Compiz fusion Icon" and do a "Reload Window manager". How can I make this happend automaticaly? [14:31] does anyone know why some of my files randomly go corrupt on ubuntu server? [14:31] you're trying to delete /etc? [14:31] I can just delete the stuff right? I boot from the other dir, so..... [14:31] no, do not try and remove the /etc directory [14:31] why not? it is big and is never used, the /etc dir from the other hd is used [14:32] vincent_: lokk, your / directory is the ROOT directory of the system that you are curently running [14:32] vincent_: so if you rm /etc then you are attempting to delete the etc directory located in / of your currently booted ubuntu [14:32] then why not just copy what you need off the drive and then wipe it completely? [14:32] remoteCTRl no from the other disk [14:32] the cd /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad disk [14:32] jsebean: have you tried something like badblocks -sv on the partition to rule out physical problems? [14:33] vincent_: if you change directory to /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad then you have an etc directory in there [14:33] alright ill try [14:33] is there a way to change performance level of gpu while using nouveau driver? [14:33] vincent_: so you want to delete etc, not /etc! got it? ;) [14:33] io: Well, I know for sure that ~/.mozilla/plugins/ comes before /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins And the reason I know that is that I recently had an older version of libflashplayer in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and had placed a newer version of it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and firefox kept using the older version untill I deleted it from ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [14:33] vincent_: just do all this in the terminal and then pastebin it so we can actually see it [14:33] it has to be unmounted to run though [14:34] its vps server [14:34] Hi, I have thisproblem. I have installed a program named Qmmp (it's an audio player) but I'd like to remove it. I uninstalled the Qmmp package from Synaptic, but the icon still shows in the Audio/Video menù and the app can still be run fro mthere [14:35] oh oh [14:35] vincent_: or in toher words: you want to delete /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad/etc ant not /etc [14:35] I'm afraid I have a problem then [14:35] vincent_: what ohoh? [14:35] <_Synergy_> lol [14:35] vincent_: :D what ever did you do?? [14:35] marco_p85: does it appear in ubuntu software center? [14:36] can I copy the /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad/et to /etc ? [14:36] jsebean: have you contacted the hosting company?, maybe they can check it out [14:36] can I copy the /media/6a03268a-991f-4bac-a419-15e0436c4bad/etc to /etc ? [14:36] @ruan - no [14:36] vincent_: geeezzz, tell me you didn't... [14:36] alright [14:36] I forgot tot say I have Ubuntu 10.10 [14:36] rsync? [14:36] vincent_: that would be a horrible thing to do [14:36] I'm afraid I did, remoteCTRl [14:36] i will contact them [14:36] marco_p85: can you remove it with terminal? [14:36] vincent_: you couldn't have cos you got the "cannot be deleted" error right?? [14:36] how come I can still chat with you guys anyway now? [14:36] rsync. [14:36] i removed the package, but it's stil lthere [14:37] I didn't get such error [14:37] vincent@vincent-desktop:/media$ cd /etc [14:37] bash: cd: /etc: No such file or directory [14:37] marco_p85: sudo apt-get purge qmmp [14:37] done that [14:37] wait, maybe he copied into /etc, not overwriting [14:37] marco_p85: does that work? [14:37] vincent_: \o0/ [14:37] I did that, no [14:37] vincent_, remoteCTR1 , the way to do this is make the unwanted directory "etc.old" amd move (mv) to good one into the original directorie's place [14:37] it nwo says that no package is installed [14:37] vincent_: do "ls -la /" [14:37] sorry, phone.. BRB [14:37] hi, does anyone know anything about grub? [14:38] conbot: yes [14:38] tjiggi_fo: thanks dude but wer are currently at smoething completely different..

[14:39] I can do that, right? [14:39] vincent_: you booted ubuntu from it on the same pc, right? [14:39] yes [14:39] vincent_: IF it is the same version [14:39] (sorry), how to i switch to different room on gnome x-chat? [14:40] vincent_: IF it is from the same computer [14:40] ok, so I made a mistake [14:40] it's not the end of the world [14:40] vincent_: IF you have a very similar setup you might get lucky [14:40] I'll just have to try it [14:40] yep... [14:40] conbot: have you tried /join #grub [14:40] remoteCTR1: accounts will be fucked most likely [14:40] gnosis: sure as hell... [14:40] vincent_: can you load pastebin?

[14:43] my lan eth0 is set to 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 on ubuntu box [14:43] there's a linux version of the standalone server, but I don't know about the game [14:43] prakas: what kind of internet connection? [14:43] and wireless wlan0 is set to169.100.100.12 gateway 169.100.100.1 [14:43] prakas: you could have a try with firestarter, that one is a "fullsize" firewall tho... [14:43] gnosis: i want to share my wlan0 with eth0 [14:44] I cannot load a Evolution E-mail anymore either [14:44] vincent_: lol [14:44] suicidolt: most game servers run on linux, most games dont...

[14:44] how do you enable internet connection sharing with eth0 in terminal [14:44] !natty | Atamisk [14:44] Atamisk: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [14:45] vincent_: so please don't, k?:) [14:45] gnosis what do you mean 'the copy'? [14:45] prakas: so you're trying to bridge the two networks? [14:45] if I install freenx, do I have to disable vino before install? [14:45] gnosis: yes [14:45] if I reboot this computer I will never be able to boot it.. [14:45] gnosis: not briging actually i want the ubuntu to run as a nat gateway [14:45] WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH COPYING THE OTHER DISKS /ETC TO ETC ? === jay is now known as Guest1874 [14:46] vincent_: you will if you reinstall but that might mean even more loss of data, right...? [14:46] thanks [14:46] what stuff all is in etc anyway? [14:46] vincent_: different settings possibly [14:46] vincent_: well, just reinstall then... [14:46] vincent_: there are several...

[14:47] vincent_: etckeeper (source: etckeeper): store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs. In component main, is optional. Version 0.48ubuntu1.1 (maverick), package size 32 kB, installed size 380 kB [14:47] what solution path do we walk? [14:47] can anyone help me set internet sharing. make my ubuntu a nat gateway?

[14:48] prakas: mind your language in this channel please [14:48] vincent_: well first of all it will require faith in gonsis and me as you doubtlessly are... flying a little blind so to speak? :) [14:48] prakas: sorry [14:48] oCean: i was just asking. is my language bad? [14:48] how can anyone sane producing a distro _not_ put /home on a partition on its own? (yes, thats actually a debian rant) [14:48] prx language [14:48] vincent_: do copy it but DO NOT REBOOT! [14:48] prakas: can't just connect the AP to the router the pc is on? [14:48] prakas: nick mixup, sorry [14:48] never reboot my pc ever again?

[14:49] gnosis: the ap is out of range on the ground floor. so i have to connect the 2nd pc via wire eth0 [14:49] there we go [14:49] remoteCTR1, lets keep the chit chat to a minimum please [14:49] gnosis: this pc is in range with the router. like an antenna ;) [14:49] folkz anyone has problem loading this page ? http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1018260 [14:49] bazhang: duely noted! [14:49] you guys are just going to leave me hanging right? [14:49] prakas: ah [14:49] Hey, I've untar'd a file with sudo to my desktop, now the folder that originated is locked, how can I change it's permissions and to all the fildes and subfolders within, so I can ahve full access to them. I can sudo. [14:49] well, bazhang, add "by default" to that [14:49] is there no undo? [14:50] vincent_: no, no undo [14:50] vincent_: i am thinking, give me a minute... [14:50] thevishy: I have no problems with it I am using chromium and iced tea plugin [14:50] chotaz: if you still have the original tar archive, just tar -xzvf it without sudo that will give it all your user's permissions by default [14:50] prx the live cd? or the debian-installer ncurses based one [14:50] is the time 1:50 PM now or 3:50? [14:50] iced tea ? is that different from Sun java or the Gnu java plugin / [14:50] thevishy: no problems at all, firefox [14:50] aeon-ltd, ty [14:50] thevishy: icedtea is openjdk [14:51] bazhang: i f only i knew... my company installed it [14:51] the minute is up remoreCTRl [14:51] I dont understand whats creating havoc with me - in Opera FF and Chromium . NOt thatt the page doesnt load , but might take 3-4 refreshes [14:51] the minute is up remoteCTRl [14:51] prx, well check the link on how to move it; its easily done with the alternate cd [14:51] but i knew i always told ppl to put /boot on a partition [14:51] vincent_: what is your user name? [14:51] vincent [14:51] i thought it was crystal clear to put /home on one [14:51] my host had a kernel panic [14:51] so i assume thats why they went corrupt [14:52] bazhang: thx, i will [14:52] what's the benefit of putting /boot on its own partition? [14:52] gnosis help me on this please we need to improvise a /etc/passwd and a /etc/shadow [14:52] prx: /boot on its own. is a little old skool thesed days [14:52] hahaha, fun [14:52] ruan, is that a Javascript thing itaylor57 [14:52] nevermind. the newest gimp has native support for abr brushes. [14:52] tensorpudding: these days. not a whole lot. for most people. [14:52] vincent_: any chance you used the same account name and pass on the old drive? [14:52] tensorpudding, personal preference really. no need for it honestly though separate home is wise [14:52] gnosis: i know, but wer can't just... can we now? [14:52] Dr_Willis: but at least it would solve my problem with grub2 not finding its own config after /boot/grub.cfg got changed (appended i guess) [14:52] gnosis I don't understand your question [14:52] thevishy: its a plugin [14:53] it makes sense if you're multibooting and want some flexibility [14:53] remoteCTR1: if he already deleted his /etc, think we might as well try copying /etc off the old drive? [14:53] could be.. not the same password though [14:53] prx: i dont see how it would affect things. Unless your disks got reordered.. i thought grub2 used UUID's in any case. [14:53] opera has this written : iced tea NPR browser plugin [14:53] it makes sense if you boot a RAID, it makes sense if you boot LVM... [14:53] vincent_: what passwod and account name did you have on the other hard disks ubuntu? same ones? [14:53] doesn't seem like it could make it worse [14:53] thevishy: so you are using the non-sun java it seems. [14:53] no different [14:53] I changed my password [14:53] Dr_Willis: /boot ought to be the very first partition, so grub will always be able to reach it, regardless of BIOS constraints [14:53] thevishy, enable partner and get the sun java packages [14:54] yes I am using the Open JDK , but I am fine with it as long as it loads though . [14:54] gnosis: thats what he tried but guess what, in the attempt as it requires sudo there came unknown uid: 1000 [14:54] !partner > thevishy [14:54] thevishy, please see my private message === trance is now known as trancegeek [14:54] !java | thevishy [14:54] Dr_Willis: there only seems to be icedtea for openjdk and not sun java [14:54] haha [14:54] thevishy: 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. [14:54] vincent_: ok still figuring, we are gonna get this one way or the other, ok? [14:54] ruan, its in partner repo [14:54] Apparently bazhang everone else seems to have it working with Iced Tea [14:54] icedtea with sun java? [14:54] ruan: i thought icedtea was openjdk... sun's is a differnt java [14:54] icedtea plugin is working fine on the Page no ? [14:55] aeon-ltd, for some reason now I can an error when trying to untar the file [14:55] remoteCTR1 what do I do in the meanwhile? [14:55] aeon-ltd, gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [14:55] installing one single partition makes sense as a default [14:55] I dont care if its iced tea or sun java .... and you are saying its working fine with iced tea ...so wondering what could I have done wrong here [14:55] gnosis: ok the only way i could think of if vincent_ boots the live cd and mounts both drives and then copies it [14:55] prx: bios constrants are old-skool issues these days.. same as the 1024 cylinder limit. [14:55] vincent_: listen closely;) [14:56] I think I have a live CD of Knoppix somewhere [14:56] chotaz: no idea on that one, except it sounds like the tar archive was corrupt (just a guess) and using sudo just forced it to untar [14:56] vincent_: got no ubuntu cd? [14:56] ruan, Dr_Willis can you check maybe just random if its working after closing the window [14:56] aeon-ltd I tried redownloading it, same error :S [14:56] remoteCTR1: no, he doesn't have the pass for the accounts on the other drive [14:56] thevishy: after closing the window?

[14:56] sometimes It works in first instance and hang later one [14:57] aeon-ltd, wine-1.3.6 source [14:57] I see so iced tea is not the problem [14:57] bbl ... [14:57] also, chromium works [14:57] will chec after some time [14:57] Dr_Willis: or is there enything else which might cause grub not to find its grub.cfg after it changed, besides a bootet kernel just sees it fine (moving it out and back in again "fixes" this) [14:57] ok thanks ruan [14:57] i don't have a better solution, might as well run with that [14:57] I have no live CD [14:57] It hat to be the physical position on disk, or fragmenting the file which causes this [14:57] well fuck, nevermind [14:57] vincent_: can you get one somewhere? [14:57] gnosis, no cursing [14:57] but full of ads, not going to use chromium now [14:58] gnosis: or at least i thnk so? otherwise we would have to delete the hash in /etc/shadow... [14:58] bazhang: ah, sorry [14:58] I found a CD which says Ubuntu on it [14:58] vincent_: you said password is different now but you DO remember the old one, right? [14:58] no I don't think so [14:58] vincent_: where do you have it from? [14:58] chotaz: from the wine site?, why do you need to compile it though? [14:58] vincent_: do you have another computer nearby? [14:59] the CD is from my CD container [14:59] no only this PC [14:59] vincent_: you do NOT remember the pwd from tho old one... kk its just another step :D [14:59] aeon-ltd, need to apply a patch so I can have compatibility with a specific application [14:59] you are not making this easy [14:59] I think I remember the password! [14:59] It just came to me [15:00] chotaz: downloading now, i'll see if i can untar it [15:00] vincent_: look dude i am trying here so where did the cd come from, did you burn it or did someone give it to you? probably it is a normal cd which means you can boot it as live cd [15:00] aeon-ltd, ok ty [15:00] it's not my handwriting, I think someone gave it to me [15:00] hi, , have just installed ubuntu on my windows desktop pc. i want to boot windows but when i choose windows on boot screen its getting the boot screen again. it doesnt run windows... how can i fix it?

[15:04] vincent_: if the filesystem remains intact and isnt formatted [15:04] vincent_: no, there was no extra home partition [15:05] vincent_: see that is the problem: depends on if you created a /home partition, if not they will be gone after reinstalling [15:05] Ok, so last night, i updated to ubuntu 11.04. At the end of the installation process it prompted for reboot. I rebooted. I got to the screen where i select between windows and ubuntu. (Boot manager). And when i hit ubuntu it just restarts my computer and im right back to the boot manager [15:05] I'm back [15:05] it will get "formatted" (filesystem newly created) [15:05] prx: vincent_ thats right according to your pastebin there wasnt [15:05] Suhn_: please go to #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 support [15:05] thats why u need to creat allways /home partition [15:05] No one there is helping [15:06] who i was talkin to before? [15:06] at least there aren't any viruses possible for linux, right? [15:06] Suhn_: be patient, that is the correct channel for help with 11.04 (in development) [15:06] Its the boot problem [15:06] vincent_: that is the least of your worries now [15:06] so I reboot and reinstall [15:06] trying to extract files it's telling me I have permissions issues? do I need to run the extraction from the command line just to get it to work? seriously, is there a way to turn off the nanny [15:06] and hope the home dirs aren't altered [15:06] vincent_: erm... they sure a re possible... but comparibly unlikely... [15:06] vincent_: DONT!!! [15:06] vincent_: some but not a lot, for any to do any damage they'd have to be executed as root, which by default you are not logged in as, however web based attacks - phishing etc still applies ofc [15:06] vincent_: no [15:07] are u guys trouble to install 11.04 too? === valerian_ is now known as Valou_ [15:07] vincent_: IF YOU THAT NOW YOUR HOME IS GONE!!

[15:52] jmil_: in what player? [15:52] lol [15:52] if124 ok [15:53] jmil_: have you tried vlc? [15:53] browser based flash players and vlc [15:53] ruan, I have read over those pages and still having problems [15:53] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1ae61b079209f966d604f51299ff9fd032d47a8f [15:53] That's my info page [15:53] Says to find my driver and navigate to it on the github page, but I have no driver listed [15:54] What's weird for me, my sound has worked for months up until last night [15:54] join #wayland [15:54] HeIsRisen, what happened last night that didnt for months? [15:54] I did some updates with update manager [15:54] HeIsRisen, ah ok ,, that can break things [15:54] updates seem to be killing everything [15:55] Now all of a sudden it says I have no sound driver installed [15:55] Could really use some help to get this resolved as quickly as possible [15:55] HeIsRisen, that's way odd for an update,,, do you recall the list of updates ,, or parts that might deal with audio? [15:55] No coz_ my wife did it while I was in the shower [15:55] logs will show what you updated i think [15:55] HeIsRisen, oooo [15:56] HeIsRisen, I assume you already rebooted ...yes? [15:56] Regardless, I think I just need to install a driver and load the proper modules for alsa [15:56] Yes coz_ [15:56] jmil_: the fullscreen mode should have to do nothing with sounds. but has for me sometimes too. *strange* distortions. i think it's system overload when reconfiguring graphics. sound gets better (that is: no distortion) if i 'soft restart' the video, like, 'search' a bit back: press once 'cursor left' in mplayer or 'ctrl cursor left' in vlc *without leaving the fullscreen mode* for a try [15:56] ruan: I see only that with "qmmp" [15:56] HeIsRisen, mm did you check in #pulseaudio channel or even #alsa channels? [15:56] nopf: thanks I will try that [15:57] coz_ there is no driver listed as installed and no alsa modules loaded [15:57] did you look at the link I provided? [15:57] ruan: what about removing the qt4 libraries? [15:57] HeIsRisen, sorry I didnt see the link [15:57] marco_p85: you did that already === Rondom_ is now known as Rondom [15:57] nopf: no go, it's still distorted in fullscreen even when I search [15:58] ruan: then how can it run? [15:58] marco_p85: i have no idea. probably some shared library still there [15:58] marco_p85: wait [15:58] marco_p85: i got it [15:58] marco_p85: go to main menu, and to to properties of the qmmp shortcut [15:58] can I get google chrome through ubuntu software center [15:58] or should I download it from google itself [15:58] jmil_: well, i was just guessing about vlc.. it *does* work everytime in mplayer here though. that's why i use mplayer from the command line only now. it's lighter on the ressources [15:58] harushimo: you can get chromium from there [15:59] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1ae61b079209f966d604f51299ff9fd032d47a8f [15:59] it doesn't show up [15:59] harushimo: are you sure? [15:59] HeIsRisen, first run the alsa-info-script it should give some useful info wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh << i think that is still valid [15:59] !info chromium-browser [15:59] chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser.

[15:59] jmil_: if you don't know mplayer, it's worth a try. 'mplayer filename', press 'f' for fullscreen, then 'c-left' to remove distortion.... [15:59] hey are there any channels for new guys? [16:00] I already did coz_ and I pasted the link [16:00] harushimo: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser && chromium-browser [16:00] HeIsRisen, alsi ,, if that script doesnt see the card we might be able to remove the pulse config iles,,, restart and see if it is picked up after that [16:00] harushimo: run that from a terminal, and it will install and launch chromium [16:00] ruan: name: qmmp [16:00] thx [16:00] okay [16:00] marco_p85: command? [16:00] HeIsRisen, oh sorry [16:00] ruan: command: qmmp %F [16:00] uuuuh.. hmm [16:00] thanks for your help [16:00] godzalpha: /j #ubuntu-beginners [16:00] there should be a whereis function [16:01] so those .deb files are binaries and the source code packages are source files ? [16:01] i got through the command line [16:01] jmil_: well, it has to have to do with some 'realtime properties' and 'sound buffers' i know of no way to display anything about those. else i would've looked into this some more already... multimedia is a lost game sometimes :/ [16:01] how do i put a icon in the Apps. menu. i installed linphone but there is no program icon for it [16:01] marco_p85: what happens if you type 'whereis qmmp' ? [16:01] HeIsRisen, Ididnt see the link... the other option is sudo rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound* ~/.pulse-cookie sudo rm /erc/asound.conf [16:01] I don't why I couldn't see it in the software center [16:01] am i right ? [16:01] HeIsRisen, you should probably reboot after that,, but i would check in the #pulseaudio channel first [16:01] is there a downside in using ubuntu in a virtualbox as your development platform? [16:01] marco@casa:/usr/local/lib$ whereis qmmp [16:01] qmmp: /usr/local/bin/qmmp [16:02] marco_p85: then it's clearly there, hmm [16:02] How do I check my channels? [16:02] so those .deb files are binaries and the source code packages are source files ? am i right ? [16:02] marco_p85: in /usr/local/bin/qmmp. remove it. [16:02] HeIsRisen, you mean change ot another irc channel? [16:02] marco_p85: sudo rm /usr/local/bin/qmmp [16:02] HeIsRisen, where you type here type /join #pulseaudio [16:02] there insnt anyone in the begginers channel [16:02] jmil_: the workaround of using mplayer only and skipping back once at the beginnig of a movie was good enough... i didn't even want to have to look wether the problem lies in the kernel,alsa,pulsaudio,jack,vlc or whatever [16:03] does anyone know how I could move all the .svn folders in directory a into directory b when / if directory a has subdirectorys that also have .svn folders? [16:03] oh, thought you were talking about a sound channel in linux [16:03] ruan: we got it!!!!!! [16:03] HeIsRisen, oh :) [16:03] now it says "file non existing" [16:03] marco_p85: yep, a simple whereis did it [16:03] marco_p85: now you can safely remove it from main menu [16:03] ruan: great [16:03] hey guys is it possible to create proxy chain in order to surf freely on the web [16:03] and reinstall it from synaptic? [16:03] godzalpha: You haven't asked a question [16:03] nopf: mplayer doens't have the audio problem but the video is now jittery on this dvd [16:03] marco_p85: you can do so [16:03] ruan: I learnt never to install packages that don't coem from synaptic [16:03] :( [16:03] so those .deb files are binaries and the source code packages are source files ? am i right ? [16:04] dr0id: .deb files usually contain binaries yes [16:04] ok, there are tohers too ? [16:04] just trying to understand the diff between binaries and source :) [16:04] i thnk i get it now, source when gets compiled is binary ;) [16:04] jmil_: oh, partly fine :) ... you can finetune mplayer in many ways ... have fun, if you've enough time for that :~] [16:04] hi may i know why there are hidden file with ~? what is their purpose? [16:05] Hey everyone does anyone know how I could move all the .svn folders in directory a into directory b when / if directory a has subdirectorys that also have .svn folders? [16:05] jmil_: first thing to check is the differente video output devices/option, like -vo ... [16:05] yes, source is available for people to want to compile their own version, while binaries are pre-compiled [16:05] how can i see how much memory i am using? [16:05] in a server?

[16:23] jrib, I have no one is arround which is why I am in here as well [16:24] jrib, I have also asked in wordpress on the off chance that someone knows / has had the same problem [16:24] most successful viruses require a chain of infectable hosts... with linux there generally is no chain, and as long as you run every priveledged command with sudo it's impossible to elevate your rights to the point where you would have a problem [16:24] jrib, mostly I just have to wait longer [16:25] Crash1hd: well I don't know much about wordpress [16:25] QUESTION: hi everyone! is it possible to have Evolution mail check for mail immediately after opening up Evolution? [16:25] Crash1hd: or ask the subversion folks if there's a nicer way [16:25] jrib, no problem [16:25] i use thunderbird [16:25] nothingspecial, I have no one is arround just have to wait [16:25] mynamedave: it's possible to click the send/receive button any time you would like to. :P [16:25] Crash1hd: do you understand what you would do with find? [16:25] how do i change icon for lock screen in gnome menu? [16:25] jrib, yes [16:25] Crash1hd: ok === Xaevo is now known as AnthraxSSH [16:25] Crash1hd: that's your easy solution... [16:26] linphone opens, but then closes, why [16:26] jrib, I was hoping that svn would have a way to just rebuild the folder [16:26] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware do they scan linux virus ? How good are they ? [16:26] im setting up an Ubuntu system for a 82 year old guy who used to use Outlook. I dont know what he did there, but he says he has no mail in Evolution and forgets to click SEND/RECEIVE button [16:26] i used sudo apt-get === Rister_ is now known as Rister [16:26] after he clicks SEND/RECEIVE he surely gets his mail :) [16:27] mynamedave, you can choose that in account settings [16:27] thevishy: linux viruses just dont work [16:27] ruan, why so ? [16:27] am curious [16:27] alternatively I could probably tell Evolution to check mail every minute, but that would be overkill for him./ [16:27] thevishy: first, the average intelligence of a linux user is high [16:27] yes [16:27] mynamedave: the default configuration has it checking every 10 minutes, so he can click and wait.. or you can go into the mail account settings and adjust the time. Do not set it for quicker than 5min anyway.. many mail providers will temp ban you from checking mail if you do [16:28] thevishy: second, the executable bit prevents anything from opening apps without permission === DCI|FireWave is now known as [JapanOverfl0w]F === [JapanOverfl0w]F is now known as [Japan]FireWave [16:28] thevishy: third, they need your root password to do any real harm === [Japan]FireWave is now known as [Japan0]FireWave [16:28] I see [16:29] thanks [16:29] thevishy: then fourth, the linux userbase is low [16:29] thevishy: they aren't a big target [16:29] ruan: any ideas? [16:29] Yeah but I am talking about the userbase incereaseng aspect [16:30] ruan: honestly, I'm not sure it's low.. I just don't think anyone is counting. Linux on the desktop is low, but I've worked with it a lot on servers and high demand apps. :) [16:30] servers use linux commonly yeah [16:30] because of its secure nature [16:30] problem you have with Linux is there are 3000+ flavors and no one is sharing the count data [16:30] thevishy: Even if the userbase increases it forms a weak argument for linux becoming insecure. There are still 3 other reasons that it is secure. The userbase argument is actually the weakest [16:30] Crash1hd: my advice is you see how other wordpress user's handle this. This really is an issue with what the plug-ins are doing imo [16:31] Yes I agree basically thanks [16:31] hi guys, I have question about backuping 10.10, I want to try out 11.04 but I want to backup whole system settings twicks and personalized information before doing so. Anyone knows how to do a backup similar to win7 backup like saving whole system image or is there anything better to use ? [16:31] the userbase argument is mac's largest argument, lol [16:31] jrib, I agree [16:31] Hello all. I don't frequent IRC that much but I have a question about busybox and initramfs. [16:31] ruan: mac also has unix style permissions [16:31] hi, is there a way to click to close notification icons? [16:31] mac is basically like a Unix if I am not mistaken [16:31] or whatever they are called [16:32] I do better.. I run macubuntu lolz.. [16:32] it has its features from Unix basically [16:32] not completely [16:32] It's BSD [16:32] Rister: I'm guessing since you're in busy box at all that Ubuntu won't boot. Press shift during boot time to get the grub menu to show up. Try to boot recovery mode. [16:32] thevishy: As much as linux is unix yes. [16:32] i havent heard of the executable bit on linux, and permissions [16:32] Yes bit like that [16:32] i mean, mac [16:32] Darwin, which is the Mac OS system, is a BSD derivative. [16:32] yeah, the odd part is I tried booting to a different linux based OS from a thumb drive and it hung on loading the kernel [16:33] ruan: You haven't heard of permissions on linux? They're there. [16:33] edbian: i meant mac [16:33] edbian: i didnt think when i typed that [16:33] ruan: Oh, yeah they have permissions just like Linux. You're just usually not bothered with them [16:33] I just installed ubuntu for the first time today, and everything worked, after i ran the update manager and installed everything from there the sound stopped working, can anyone help me with that? [16:33] is anyone here very proficient with xorg.conf that can help me set it up??? [16:33] mac is much more pay to play.. it may have some commonality at the core, but most of the stuff you get for free on linux still costs money on mac [16:33] yep [16:33] and mac is more closed source than linux [16:33] Rister: You probably have some faulty hardware. Try booting with different things removed. (e.g. hdd, ram sticks, etc) [16:33] ruan: nothing like a sort of windows automatic backup, I mean... going back to yesterday? [16:34] marco_p85: not really [16:34] Mac has its GUI features top class , for the money you pay and its basically like a UNix system ...so it has its pluses [16:34] ruan: you cant compare mac and linux, mac is as closed as it can get, there is no more sadistic proprietary OS in the world than mac [16:34] rister: are you using any type of raid? [16:34] i just switched from mac back to linux [16:34] true [16:34] mostly because of the app store and because xcode is no longer free [16:35] they are like opposites [16:35] ops of #ubuntu dfge is spamming ---> http://pastebin.com/X6uZ25NF [16:35] Mac basically is a narrow hardware OS ... as in , its not mean for non mac machines [16:35] please correct this [16:35] mindmaster: no. It's an earlier Acer Aspire One [16:35] lament: You switched because of a new feature? You must really hate the app store [16:35] hi guys, I have question about backuping 10.10, I want to try out 11.04 but I want to backup whole system settings twicks and personalized information before doing so. Anyone knows how to do a backup similar to win7 backup like saving whole system image or is there anything better to use ? [16:35] can anyone here help me set up my xorg.conf file for dual monitors? [16:35] edbian: i'm worried about the direction they're taking. [16:35] ruan: ok then stuck? [16:35] rister: seen that problem when I screwed up installing my raid drivers before.. [16:36] ruan: any other similar player, like Winamp? [16:36] lament: Ahh, controlling the apps that run as well as EVERYthing else about their platform. [16:36] marco_p85: what features are you looking for? [16:36] edbian: "everything else" bothers me much less than the apps [16:36] I don't think MAC and linux are that different. They're both unix based OS's. They have some difference but they're not opposites [16:36] When will Firefox 4 be added to the Ubuntu repository? [16:36] mindmaster: I jut rebooted into recovery mode and it found a bunch of errors in the filesystem. :P [16:36] !info firefox [16:36] firefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.16+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.1 (maverick), package size 11090 kB, installed size 29920 kB [16:36] Hedgehog456: in natty i believe [16:36] !info natty [16:36] Package natty does not exist in maverick [16:36] Hedgehog456: There is a PPA if you don't want to wait. [16:37] !natty [16:37] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [16:37] ok, thanks ruan [16:37] edbian: by opposite people meant the direction, corporation vs open source thats what talk is about [16:37] is there an easy way to update to firefox 4? [16:37] edbian: what's a PPA? [16:37] !ff4 [16:37] Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [16:37] rister: dying disk possibly.. if you can boot into bios check if any SMART errors are showing.. [16:37] !ppa [16:37] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [16:37] Hedgehog456: Basically a repo that has only one a two things in it. (in this case firefox4) [16:38] rister: not worth continuing if you aren't sure the disk is up to spec [16:38] ruan: quick research of songs from a playlist, sort playlist by artist [16:38] ruan: no loads of useless stuff [16:38] again i wish songbird was still supported [16:39] edbian: thanks for the tip on getting to the grub menu. I wasn't aware of that keyboard shortcut. [16:39] Rister: no problem [16:39] lasha: http://openubuntu.com/index.php/topic,671.0.html pay careful attention to the last paragraph [16:39] marco_p85: rhythmbox? [16:39] itunes on wine? :P [16:39] nothingspecial: ok thank you [16:39] mindmaster: I think I'll let SpinRite have a pass over the disk just to be safe. Thanks. [16:39] itunes is bloated.. [16:40] ruan : I'll try it out. qqmp is lost then? [16:40] yea, I wish there was a better way to update my iPhone [16:40] marco_p85: most probably. it doesn't want to repair qt4 [16:41] I have a virtualbox win7 just to update iphone software lol [16:41] hello [16:42] marco_p85: This is the one everybody is talking about http://guayadeque.org/forums/index.php?p=/wiki/page/home [16:42] rister: I'd def do that first there is no sense in pulling your hair out [16:43] Hey all. I have a curious problem, looking for tips. Running ubuntu 10 in a vm, hosted on a mac, I cannot ctrl+click to select multiple items in a list or file manager, etc. Ctrl+click triggers the context menu, like it would on the mac. Does anyone know of a way I can convince it to not do this? [16:43] never heard of guaydeque o_O [16:43] nothingspecial: looks cool. where to get it? Soft center? [16:44] gnosiss, must be a vm provlem cause for me its working on an real machien ;) [16:44] marco_p85: yep, its in soft center [16:44] gnosiss: Preferences>Keyboard Settings ? maybge it has to do with the virtual vm software you are using... vbox ? [16:44] marco_p85: also, sudo apt-get install guayadeque [16:44] No, its still alpha, use the ppa, the -svn version can be buggy because it is the dev version but has all the latest features, hang on [16:44] gnosiss: because that is what the mac host is sending as a key combination? [16:45] iam looking for a mediaplayer with a internet radio browser [16:45] thanks guys, I'll sue that Guayadeque [16:45] lampe2: vlc? [16:46] Yeah, I also figure it has something to do with the vm and keyboard mappings. ctrl is definitely mapped correctly, though - stuff like ctrl+c and ctrl+v work as expected (those combos don't do copy and paste on the mac) [16:46] I can't seem to get Ubuntu 10.10 to fully work with my laptop [16:46] it's vmware fusion, actually. [16:46] Its a sony vaio and my touchpad doesn't work [16:46] WaltzingAlong, vlc got a radio stream browser build in? [16:46] marco_p85: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:anonbeat/guayadeque && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install guayadeque-svn [16:47] best encryption tool? [16:47] encrypt a folder for instance [16:47] Anyone have a alps touchpad that doesn't work on ubuntu 10.10 and got it to work [16:47] !encrypt [16:47] For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [16:47] lampe2: vlc / view / playlist / internet [16:47] gnosiss: you probably have install guest vm software in the client for proper mouse behavior [16:47] thanks [16:48] WaltzingAlong, thx ;) never saw it XD [16:48] Hi [16:48] Are there certification courses available for ubuntu ? [16:49] mindmaster: it's installed (vmware-tools) and seems to work great except for this one little annoyance. Not a huge deal, just thought I'd poke around for a solution. [16:49] hi [16:49] kaushal: no, but there is LPI.. google it.. [16:49] mindmaster: LPI199 ? [16:50] Now I'll proceed to mess with my keyboard mappings until a really break it. I'll be back here in half an hour asking how to reset to defaults ;p [16:50] lol [16:50] kaushal: or duckduckgo it [16:50] nothingspecial: ? [16:50] kaushal: a better search engine ;) [16:50] hi. i have a strange problem - it looks like as if firefox was loading the CPU (although not much CPU is used when i look in the system monitor) - the indicator on the case is constantly blinking and i hear a sound as if smth was permanently reading from the hard disk [16:50] heh, it's the first thing that shows up hehe [16:50] when i close firefox - the bulb stops blinking and the sound quiets down // does anyone know what this might be? [16:51] one stupid question.... i'm connecting mic to onboard audio-in and hdmi out... any way to send audio directly to hdmi output ? [16:51] greywalk: more like IO, reading your bookmarks and history from the sqlite files apparently [16:52] WaltzingAlong: is there any way to fix it? [16:52] WaltzingAlong: is it possible that some add on causes this? [16:53] greywalk: how long does it take to launch> [16:53] ruan: what exactly? firefox - quickly [16:53] greywalk: because my indicator light does 3 flashes, and then it stops [16:54] ruan: mine is just constantly flashing when ff is running [16:54] odd [16:54] no flashing at all here [16:54] could be a malfunctioning addon perhaps [16:54] greywalk: well you could sqlite vacuum those files or use an addon that does it for you.you could browse around, find something about writing your own, empty, fsync, having firefox use that instead [16:54] greywalk: what happens if you run firefox in safe mode? === jeffbailey is now known as jbailey-home [16:55] i'm kind a new to ubuntu /i haven't used it since 2006/. i've installed 10.10 on my laptop /t61/, downloaded drivers etc. is it possible to get a menu similar to this http://img101.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1uz.png /screenshot from beta 11.04/? the standard, dash "menu" isnt working for me [16:55] WaltzingAlong: i am thinking about xmarks.. maybe its because of it - i noticed xmarks were active when that sound started [16:55] greywalk, create a tmpfs partition in memory and mount /home/user/.firefox in memory [16:56] ruan: not sure - going to try now [16:56] safe mode will not load addons, so you can identify what the cause is [16:56] szymon_g: that's available already, it's not the new natty menu which is very different [16:57] szymon_g: That looks like regular old gnome panel with the gnome main menu [16:57] it may be a really stupid question, but how can i change it into the "standard one"? [16:57] szymon_g: At login [16:57] szymon_g: you have to configure the panel and look for the gnome main menu and drag it into the panel [16:58] greywalk: 'firefox -safe-mode' [16:58] szymon_g: Choose "classic ubuntu" or whatever they call it [16:58] How to open .sqlite files? Can http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/ help me open them? [16:59] anyone knows if 11.04 has system backup integration ? [16:59] sqlite3 ubuntu_ ? [17:00] ruan: yes, browsing in safe mode now - no bulb and reading the hdd so far [17:00] is it possible to have it with that unity menu on site? i'm fairly sure i had it on livecd when i've tried beta release yesterday /its not on screenshot/? === Hedgehog456 is now known as Hedgy|Away [17:00] #lumiera [17:00] what about jupiter os?

[17:37] danileigh79: i used it today to resize a partition [17:37] danileigh79: unmounted of course [17:37] ruan, i'm trying to make sda5 larger by taking some of winxp's disk, how do i do it? [17:37] danileigh79: resize both [17:37] Every guide I come across is for setting up a svn repo for my own code [17:38] danileigh79: first make winxp smaller, then make sda5 bigger [17:38] Question: can I make ubuntu unity dock horizontal? I have a 4:3 monitor and it being vertical is highly annoying [17:38] ruan, thx [17:38] Autonomiser: getting the source is usually as easy as 'svn co trunk' [17:39] guess no one is using 11.04 here? is there a channel for 11.04 users?

[17:40] the command listed on sourceforge is 'svn co https://free-cad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/free-cad free-cad' [17:40] How do I tell subversion where to put the FreeCAD code? [17:41] what that would do, is put the source in a directory called free-cad under the current working directory [17:41] I would like it to go in /home/svn/free-cad [17:41] !Frina Douglas Adams - [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 01] - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (v5.0) (rtf).rar [17:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:41] brontosaurusrex: of course everything CAN be backed up and restored.. but reinstalling 64-bit-version of every package should be MUCH easier if it's possible.. [17:42] Autonomiser: so enter the /home/svn directory, and run that command [17:42] But this step seems to be left out of every guide I can find [17:42] Is there any way that I can set NetworkManager to use a static address for a bluetooth connection? [17:42] Oh okay thanks [17:42] Easy pezy japonezy [17:43] Hello. I need some help. [17:44] AgentFiveseveN: that's ok with us [17:44] Is there a default password or something for root when you first install the system? I definitely don't recall being asked for a separate password but the only one I set up is not working. [17:45] !root | AgentFiveseveN [17:45] AgentFiveseveN: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:45] if you issue sudo passwd root you can change the root password [17:45] serialhex: please don't suggest that here [17:45] oCean: ok, np [17:45] Is it possible to install ubuntu without CD or usb? [17:45] OK, I will take a look at that link. Thank you. [17:46] why can't people learn to modify their own root password === iqpi is now known as {qp} [17:46] so has anyone else tried 11.4 yet? [17:46] klister: how else would you want to install it? === dmiles is now known as shaggyoaf [17:46] klister: one way would be using debootstrap [17:46] klister, possible, but difficult. [17:46] klister: there is net install but im not quite sure how that works [17:46] mynameistux: once you have set a password for root user, we cannot provide the support you might need [17:46] where do we cross the line from protecting users from themselves, and censorship? [17:46] im on backtrack atm [17:46] klister: bt is not supported in this channel [17:47] klister: how did you install backtrack? [17:47] !backtrack > klister [17:47] klister, please see my private message [17:47] oCean: he's trying to install ubuntu [17:47] USB, but i dont have that usb drive atm [17:47] ruan: klister now THAT is supported here :) [17:47] ruan, i'm actually a little nervous about using gparted, afraid it'll screw something up [17:48] danileigh79: which is why backup is used [17:48] danileigh79: but i havent messed anything up with partitioning before [17:48] ruan, recommended method for backup? [17:48] !backup [17:48] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [17:48] personally i use online backup @ mediafire [17:49] since i dont have storage media [17:49] ruan, what about a free one for my winxp partition? [17:49] So it's difficult to install ubuntu from backtrack then? Are there any tutourials etc? [17:50] klister: old but shows the basics https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/hppa/linux-upgrade.html [17:50] I guess i will give it a go, thanks. [17:50] hey, i just installed kubuntu 11.4 and it removed my nvidia driver, and the one it provided me with is wonky... but when i try and install it again it says i have to uninstall xorg & a bunch of other things... whats up? how can i fix that? [17:50] klister, I believe backtrack is using ext2 ..yes? [17:50] danileigh79: what exactly do you wish to backup? [17:50] klister: you can install an iso from grub2 [17:50] or ext3 [17:51] serialhex: it's still beta, support in #ubuntu+1 [17:51] coz_: hwo can i check that? sacarlson how do i do that? [17:51] would unity allow positioning that launcher on the right or bottom of the screen or is it hardcoded to the left? [17:51] Hello all. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 (kernel 2.6.35), and the torrent application Vuze. Sometimes, when attempting to allocate a large file, it gets stuck at 0%. If I close (or kill -9) Vuze, a Java process remains. It's listed as a zombie by ps, taking up 100% of one CPU. I cannot kill the process, and the parent is gone (so it has no parent). Is there any way to kill it besides restarting? [17:51] oCean: ok, thanks! [17:51] ruan, my entire 80gb hd incase i screw up [17:51] hi for all [17:51] klister: grep ext4 /proc/filesystems [17:51] tensorpudding: I ran this command: svn co https://free-cad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/free-cad free-cad [17:52] anybody with floola? [17:52] danileigh79: mediafire is free, but it depends what you want to backup [17:52] llutz: *** File error: No such file or directory, ext4 [17:52] Autonomiser: okay, so there should be a free-cad directory with the source in it [17:52] tensorpudding: As listed here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/develop [17:52] tensorpudding: Cool [17:52] ruan, just music, docs, n vids [17:52] klister: you can create a custom grub2 entry to point to the iso file as seen done here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 [17:52] danileigh79: mediafire has 200mb file size limit, with unlimited storage [17:52] sacarlson: ok, will try. [17:53] klister: grep ext4 /proc/filesystems you issued a wrong command [17:53] gsr: i'm not sure i believe you cannot kill-9 a cpu-100 process [17:53] * Autonomiser the svn noob is getting some where [17:53] ruan, that might work, i can backup my vids on usb [17:53] llutz: ext4 [17:53] there we go [17:53] what is Dhcp Please [17:53] danileigh79: yep. you can also split large files [17:53] klister: so ext4 IS supported [17:53] i guess so [17:54] ruan, is there a linux program comparable to winrar? [17:54] WanderM, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [17:54] gsr: but nowadays anything is possible. i had some other impossible situations a while ago. so in this case: do you have any 'window' on the screen that belongs to the process? [17:54] danileigh79: p7zip-full [17:54] ok but how it works I mean thank you aney way [17:54] danileigh79: it handles all archive formats i know. archive manager works with it, too [17:54] gsr: if so, you can go about it with 'xkill' ... worked for me on some otherwise not kill-9-able programs [17:54] WanderM, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol [17:55] nopf: nope. and, with htop, I can see a heirarchy of the processes running, and their children. this process is listed as having no parents, no children [17:55] Autonomiser: you can keep it up to date by pulling the latest revisions [17:55] getting it now [17:55] tvm [17:55] ruan, getting it now [17:55] hi, when I plug a headphone in my netbook, the sound still outputs from the speaker. I'm using Maverick, up to date with maverick-updates and -security. Is this a kernel issue? [17:55] danileigh79: once its installed, right click file, compress, choose an archive format [17:55] ruan, is it gui or cli? [17:55] danileigh79: both [17:55] ruan, k, thx [17:55] klister, did you find out which file system you have there? [17:55] danileigh79: 7z integrates into archivem anager [17:55] xkill won't work, since the window was run by the parent, the Vuze process, which is already closed [17:55] ruan, oh kk [17:56] Autonomiser: you go into the free-cad directory and do 'svn up', and that will pull the latest changes from the server === lostsource is now known as ricardoamaro [17:56] danileigh79: so it opens all compatible archives. and it supports more than winrar does [17:56] ruan, nice [17:56] plus its free [17:56] BBS smoke break [17:56] gsr: yeah, i remember java zombies from 5 years ago. could get a hold of them too. now i don't use java except if given money... [17:57] gsr: s/could/couldn't/ [17:57] java zombie apocalypse [17:57] something about java provokes automatic hatred [17:58] coz_: yup, ext4, but its solved, my dad lent me a stick :) [17:58] thanks guys [17:58] klister, ah ok :) [17:58] can I ask about dput / ppa here? I'm curious how long after running dput I should see my package in my ppa? [17:58] I'm trying to make chromium use gnome keyring with --password-store=gnome but I can't see any difference from before, it still gives my password out without any questions [17:58] ruan: no really. twas horrible. hate java ever since. i *heard* that some automatic zombie collector came into kernel a bit later, dunno if it helps much here though [17:58] nopf: lol, agreed.

I tried converting this avi file to mpeg and then using kdenlive's dvd author feature but it always fails when crating the DVD structure and because it's linux there is no explanation but cryptic error messages [18:03] or Video-CD because its a 700mb avi [18:03] I've installed natty beta in a virtualbox and when I log in, nothing appears on the desktop. Unity must not be coming up. I do have "3d" checked in the vb monitors. Any hints?

In 9.04 therer was this nice polkit policy editor where you could just say "is allowed to uinstall packages" [18:04] and now even the "remebmer authorization" checkbox does nothing [18:05] mindmaster: the last to load is a wildcard domain [18:06] mindmaster: 1) forums.monkee.comm 2) *.monkee.com ... which is wordpress multi-user network [18:07] dougdaulton: Anytime you vhost the 'rule' that is most explict applies first. I've never seen a case where it mattered. Logically though, you want to define all the 'unique' rules first. [18:08] likely.. you have some error in your definition [18:08] mindmaster: OK. That helps. [18:08] man why are GTK dialogs so a pain to use? why cant there just be a normal "save as" dialog like KDE would use? no, there is a dialog with a prompt for filename and folder, you click on the folder, and no there is no folder browser but a dropdown with your favorited places and a "other" button which THEN triggers a folder browser -.- man I just know why Canonical should ditch Gnome/Unity and just use KDE [18:09] eh? [18:09] mindmaster: I've been through the apache2 docs and must be missing something. Do you know of a good tutorial or example [18:09] BajK: thats what the gtk-freaks call "usability" since ages... [18:10] lol [18:10] yeah I know the Gnome philosophy^^ [18:10] advanced usability :P [18:10] There's a difference between "easy to use" and "hide every option that your grandmother might not need and confuse her" [18:10] *g* [18:10] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html make sure you get all the steps and read carefully [18:11] mindmaster: thanks for the help!

[18:12] Question: I'm running 10.04 LTS and suddenly my mouse/keyboard sow way down and if I type to fast it either drops keys or keys stick until I hit another key. Keyboard rate looks t be <3 keys/second or they drop/stick/ Any ideas on a fix(resetting machine cures it for a while)? [18:13] BajK, and you are not using kubuntu, because of.. ? [18:13] scarleo: my tests of integration between gnome and chromium only do more to tell me how little the two things speak with one another :) [18:13] brontosaurusrex: I AM using Kubuntu :) [18:14] Question: (running 10.10), I used to use hibernate option a lot on my laptop, but lately it just doesn't recover out of hibernate anymore. It just goes very very slow.. And I have no clue what caused this [18:15] I have the same. What hardware R u running [18:15] if you need integration I recommend you stay with firefox 3 for awhile. Chromium still breaks a great deal on linux. [18:15] how can I check my video card temperature on ubuntu? [18:15] video card temp? didnt have that back in windows. not sure if it exists [18:15] ne7work: if you have nvidia prop drivers then there is an app installed to manage the display and it reports it [18:16] mindbeat, Ok, so basically it won't work? Seems like some people has it working but doesn't want it... [18:16] mindbeat, sorry, wrong nick [18:16] hi, when I plug a headphone in my netbook, the sound still outputs from the speaker. I'm using Maverick, up to date with maverick-updates and -security. Is this a kernel issue? [18:16] ne7work: if you have ati I pity you because they screw us poor linux folks every day [18:16] mindmaster, I have recommended nvidia drivers? [18:16] I have two INTERNET connection with two ip.i can now active just one of my connection.is it possible to use two of my Internet connection together? means one of my connection use in desktop and firefox and etc and another connection be in just session and use it for download ?

[18:16] I have 2 machines but my notebook is a tad old and noticed hibernate does not work swell on there. My 64 bit desktop box seems to be ok though [18:16] how do i remove album art from mp3s? [18:17] mindmaster, ? [18:17] scarleo: I'd try it on firefox first because chromium's gnome interfacing is dodgey as hell.. if you can get it to work there then you have some possiblity of having it work in chrome as well when they decide to up the glue layers [18:17] !info tag [18:17] Package tag does not exist in maverick [18:17] !info mp3tag [18:17] Package mp3tag does not exist in maverick [18:17] ruan: easytag is a great tool for mass editing mp3s [18:18] !info id3v2 [18:18] id3v2 (source: id3v2): A command line id3v2 tag editor.

Any help? [18:18] ne7work: you need the prop drivers if you have them then Administration tells you you have an Nvidia X control panel thingy [18:19] nvidia x server? [18:19] Hi, I installer Ubuntu on a friend's computer, and it works fine. But when we try to boot Windows XP from GRUB, there's only a black screen and it does nothing. How do I fix that? [18:19] ruan: yes [18:19] this is what I need [18:20] any recommendations on reading to understand how linux filesystem works? [18:20] ne7work: specifically it says "Nvidia X Server Settings" [18:20] mindmaster, and if I have nvidia control panel how to see my video card temp?

Why when I insert a USB it's recognized, and I don't have to mount it? === marcos_ is now known as Daekdroom [18:24] usb flash drive. [18:24] novitololo: b/c the options are configured to do so [18:24] i guess ubuntu auto mounts it [18:24] |Long|: Not sure how that prevents boot at that point. I've seen a driver mess up cause GDM to go into a reloading fit and force me to kill it from a terminal, but nothing with ramfs [18:25] novitololo: because most users don't want to be bothered with that, that's why. [18:25] there must be a option to disable it somewhere [18:25] I imagine that. But where is that configured? [18:25] why would you want to do that [18:25] I've looked in /etc/fstab [18:25] ruan: I'm just trying to learn how the filesystem works [18:25] novitololo: check nautilus options [18:25] right [18:25] novitololo: and try ubuntu-tweak or ailurus [18:26] or disk utility [18:26] |Long|: your system should get to a point where you can alt-F1 into a terminal at least.. if that doesnt happen then it's not the driver it's something with your kernel [18:26] ok [18:26] thank you guys. [18:26] Also why is my login screen xfce instead of gdm? [18:27] <|Long|> mindmaster, alt+f1 didnt get me now where, what else can i try?

[18:32] question at 2 cents [18:32] as we say in French [18:32] i certainly cant see my name up there, so i guess it does work [18:33] giulia: looks like the settings in gconf are at /apps/panel/default_setup/applets/fast_user_switch and there's no option to change text [18:33] anyone have bookmarked good readings to learn filesystem ? :) [18:33] ok [18:33] but the only problem [18:33] is that I have an old tutorial [18:33] brontosaurusrex: maybe you don't have that applet on your panel [18:33] which works with Ubuntu 10.04 [18:33] hold on [18:34] novitololo: heres some info about ext [18:34] !defrag [18:34] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.

[18:38] ok, the Me Menu setting works [18:38] :) [18:38] thx [18:38] hi all, i've try to re-compile likewise-open but it fails with likewise-open-5.4.0.42111/upstream-root//usr/lib/likewise-open/.libs/libunistr.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized [18:38] Jon--: I don't know about GNOME shell, but I've upgraded a system through several releases while using Fluxbox. I don't think it will try to force you to change desktop environments [18:39] any idea? [18:39] or, perhaps put another way, how can I use the ubuntu disk utility to create a bios boot partition? [18:39] any help [18:40] why is the install dialogs so slow? its just a damn dialog window, but takes forever going back and forward... [18:40] but how can I do the same, with Ubuntu TMe menu setting -> not display [18:40] with gconftool ? [18:40] Jon--, You can just choose classic desktop in Natty to get gnome [18:42] Chillance: which install dialog? [18:42] giulia, pretty sure its possible [18:42] llutz: avidemux converts but no sound in converted video [18:42] scarleo, Will the development of GNOME and/or GNOME shell not be hurt by Ubuntu switching to Unity? Surely I can do so now, but what guarantee do I have that Ubuntu will still have such good support 5 years from now? [18:42] ok it is [18:43] someone told me [18:43] alabd: it has a lot of options to play with... [18:43] but I was too tired to notice it [18:43] giulia, good for him [18:43] so, you go to system, indicator [18:43] me [18:43] llutz: which options ?

[19:21] BajK: Ahh.. A seg fault. That's not easily debugged. First hit on google indicates bad handling of "unusual" file names so I would check that first. [19:21] !info mp4box [19:22] Package mp4box does not exist in maverick [19:22] BajK: Also, I assume you're not running an overclocked system and you're confident that your RAM is in order. [19:22] BlueEagle: I wouldnt consider /data/bajk/Videos/TheKingsSpeech.mpeg an unusual file name [19:22] BlueEagle: it is [19:22] maybe it's because my /tmp is tmpfs ? [19:22] has anyone experience in installing virtualmin (preferably on ubuntu 10.04)? [19:23] alabd, i think this type of file could be remuxed to either mkv or mp4, i'd think you can use ffmpeg for that, hold on, ill find some command lines... [19:23] BajK: case insensitivity can be an issue [19:23] BajK: If you're running an over clocked system and experience seg faults check the processor temperature and also try using original settings and see if the error persists. Transcoding video is processor intensive. === bandit-away is now known as bandit63 [19:23] brontosaurusrex: thanks let me upload one examle [19:23] BlueEagle: temperature and everything is fine and no my system is not overclocked [19:24] ciss: I always KNEW it's dumb to differentiate case in filenames -.-" but well the path is correct [19:24] BajK: Then why are you saying that it is? d'oh! [19:24] BlueEagle: ?? [19:24] i didnt say that [19:24] BajK: Well I interpeted "it is" as in your system being overclocked. [19:24] (at least the thing didnt tell otherwise but because it's a GTK application and so does not tell you everything (because it MAY CONFUSE the user) while KDE would just say "hey you idiot, wrong filename" or something^^ [19:25] BlueEagle: oh [19:25] eh [19:25] Can anyone give me an official answer: does Kubuntu Lucid use pulseaudio or alsa by default? I seem to have parts of both installed on my system, and sound is not working... [19:25] the "it is" was reffering to the "ram is in order" [19:25] sorry [19:25] BajK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:25] pm2: it depends, applications can use either API. [19:26] alabd, you can try 'ffmpeg -i my.ts -vcodec copy -acodec copy my.mp4' [19:26] If the absolute value of -x cannot be used, how is it then that any x can be used, since x itself can be negative without a prefixed negative sign [19:26] pm2, It probably uses both.

[19:28] BajK: Well, then I cannot help you any further, sorry. The Segmentaiton fault is most likely caused by bad coding. Try a smaller file perhaps and see if that resolves the issue. Also make sure no temporary storage runs full during the process. [19:28] !sound pm2 [19:28] !audio [19:28] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[19:53] alabd: you mean a 'ftp client' ? [19:53] aauthor, is there a /etc/update-manager.conf or something? [19:53] danileigh79, Is there a reason you're not just installing audacious from the repos?

[19:54] Mahjongg: Reading does not help? How come? Never been to school? [19:54] Mahjongg, let me make sure I understand. Do you only want update manager to pull updates from LTS? [19:54] hi [19:54] edbian, doing it from repos gives you 2.3, I want 2.4 [19:54] Mahjongg, you want it to not show you about the upgrade correct? [19:54] danileigh79, Ahh, you want the newest version. good reason to download from the site. What error are you getting? [19:55] bullgard4: try to stay friendly to other users, thanks. [19:55] Mahjongg, look at the files in /etc/update-motd.d/ [19:55] aauthor, update-manager reports newer releases upon shell logins. Currently it is set to report all releases, I'd like it to report only the LTS releases [19:55] im running ubuntu 10.10 and i have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. do you know where it would be stored so i can edit it? [19:55] Fuchs: Try what you pray to others, first yourself. Please. [19:55] edbian, I already sudo make install audacious, now when I try to ./configure the plugins, it says audcaious not installed [19:55] Mahjongg, its a motd thing not update-manager [19:56] danileigh79, So the program you have works without the plugins? [19:56] Mahjongg, look for a file 91-release_upgrade in that folder and then move it [19:56] borgos, There isn't one. [19:56] edbian, no I cannot find it except as the folder in downloads [19:56] bandit63, thank you but I'd like it to report LTS releases... [19:57] syn-ack so how can i manually edit my monitor settings? [19:57] bandit63, I was thinking if I can set the update-manager setting, motd would behave as I'd like [19:57] edbian, I sudo make install for audacious, how do I complete install?? [19:57] danileigh79, This should probably be helpful. seems to me you have to run more than one command to install from source (usually you have to compile then install) http://martin.ankerl.com/2007/04/19/how-to-install-anything-in-ubuntu-condensed/ [19:57] borgos, you'll have to generate one with dpkg-reconfigure or get one off the 'net and modify it to your needs [19:57] syn-ack thanks [19:58] Mahjongg, the problem is i dont think that its update-manager that tells you when you are logging in with ssh [19:58] edbian, I already ./configure, make, then sudo make install, how do I complete install now? [19:58] borgos, Question though, if you don't mind... Is the multiple monitor app in Gnome not working? [19:58] is there any application to download/paste pdf books from my ubuntu desktop to Kindle [19:59] Mahjongg, what if you changed your repositories to only include the LTS releases? [19:59] danileigh79, I believe you're done. Is there a readme in with the source or something? I'm not sure. [19:59] I have few ebooks as pdf format, i want to read them on my Kindle [19:59] aauthor, Then you will only get the updates for LTS [19:59] edbian, if I am done, why can I not find the program now? [19:59] danileigh79, Did you get any errors? [19:59] which, if you're running an LTS that's how it should be setup to begin with [19:59] induz: kindel cant read pdf's thats rahter.. sad of it. [19:59] danileigh79, I don't know what is going wrong. I think you are done but there was an error. OR you have to do something special for audacity.

How do I list all the packages that were just installed? :-P [21:59] milen8204: running w7 as guest-os? it will only see the vbox-graphics adapter [21:59] IIu [21:59] DasEi: this did work well but yesterday this hapends cannot susped [22:00] llutz, W7 is my quest os [22:00] milen8204: guest-os won't have access to native videocards [22:00] Mathuin: apt-get autoremove should remove unused dependencies [22:00] elot: did you change annything in your mount/partitiontable/fstab ? [22:00] milen8204: you want to read the vbox-documentation [22:00] How can I use APT to download all updates to my system for later install? [22:01] jerry256: hardly, you can use a local updatemirror [22:01] bastidrazor: thank you, exactly what I needed. [22:01] DasEi: no but i had full HDD i deleted some music etc. [22:01] llutz, thanks [22:01] quite a hassle, or get the latest iso then and and now, mount it put to sources [22:02] hi guys, i have some funny question [22:02] how to open current aplication? (e.g skype, pidgin... or other) [22:02] when icon is hide on gnome panel? [22:02] elot: df -h , how much space left ? [22:02] Mathuin: you're welcome. [22:02] jerry256: apt-get -d upgrade [22:02] n1x1: terminal [22:02] DasEi: yes but how? :D [22:03] n1x1: !terminal [22:03] !terminal [22:03] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [22:03] n1x1: enter pidgin or whatever prog there [22:03] DasEi: wtf? :D [22:03] i wanna open current [22:03] tehnef, thanks [22:03] aplication... [22:03] llutz: msmtp requires a lot of configuration. :-( I'm ---> <--- this close to simply telnetting to port 25 on the destination server. It shouldn't be this hard just to send a single email. [22:03] DasEi: 5.8G [22:03] when you type skype skype skype [22:04] n1x1: create a starter, edit the menue [22:04] opened is 3 skype.. [22:04] jerry256: yeah man [22:04] DasEi: mda... i dont wanna speaking with you :) [22:04] Mathuin: mstmp needs exact one config-file [22:04] i dont want sys bar on panel.. [22:05] Mathuin: possibly use mutt ? [22:05] llutz: I need a .mailrc that points at msmtp and an msmtprc file which appears to need to be pointed at a mail server. [22:06] bastidrazor: I imagine installing mutt will make Ubuntu install a MTA, right? That's what I've been trying to avoid. :-) [22:06] tehnef: that will download (apt-get -d upgrade) d/l on a crappy connection and else stuck , but won't install untill done ? [22:06] DasEi: 5.8Gb left and i did install libgcryp for faster hibernation [22:07] DasEi: could be problem in libgcrypt? [22:07] Mathuin: it recommends an MTA but it isn't a dependency. [22:07] bastidrazor: can mutt send mail without an MTA installed? [22:07] elot: might be, but I'm not common with that [22:08] elot: try removing ? [22:08] DasEi: it will ONLY download them. once they're downloaded you should be able to 'apt-get upgrade' and have them work?i'm not 100% sure though [22:08] Mathuin: uh mutt will not work. it installs the postfix package. [22:08] tehnef: ah, I see [22:08] DasEi: yes just second [22:08] man apt-get, lazyboy :) [22:08] Mathuin: mutt >1-5.14 should be able to send mail [22:09] llutz: *without* installing postfix or sendmail or any of that? [22:09] Mathuin: http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttGuide/Send [22:09] elot: in your syslog there are many complains about partitons not being found [22:09] llutz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mutt#Installation *sigh* [22:09] <|Long|> can someone plz help me..after update new driver for gforce 8400gs, i reboot and stuck at initramfs screen, how i fix this? [22:10] |Long|, press shift during boot to get the grub menu. Can you boot into recovery mode? [22:10] |Long|: supergrubdisk or live cd, chroot, reinstall grub [22:10] Mathuin: i guess mutt.org should know better about mutt [22:10] DasEi, Um, I think he has grub... [22:10] DasEi: i have partition for Win two partitions for linux(ext and swap) and some shits from manufacturer [22:10] tehnef, I have a question, do I need to do this as root in ubuntu? [22:11] hello, anybody able to help me building coova-chilli package on amd64 ubuntu? the issue is that .deb produced by dpkg-buildpackage doesn't include the executables [22:11] edbian: initramfs-screen is busybox ? |Long| === mactimes_afk is now known as mactimes [22:11] <|Long|> yes [22:11] DasEi, Which is a result of booting a kernel that does not work? [22:11] llutz: yeah, but it's Ubuntu I'm using. [22:11] I wonder if there's a dummy MTA package I can install. [22:11] !info mutt [22:11] mutt (source: mutt): text-based mailreader supporting MIME, GPG, PGP and threading. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.20-9ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 1167 kB, installed size 3380 kB [22:11] for many months I have tried do-release-upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 but everytime it gives me error: "pkgproblemresolver::resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages [22:12] edbian: ah ok, or not being found [22:12] jerry256: yeah [22:12] DasEi, He installed a new nvidia driver. Why would grub be pointing to a kernel that doesn't exist anymore? [22:12] Mathuin: sudo aptitude -R install mutt [22:12] jerry256: sudo works fine [22:13] tehnef, ok, thank you [22:13] DasEi: that wasnt Libgcrypt but tuxonice-userui [22:13] |Long|, Can you boot recovery mode? [22:13] can any1 help me? [22:14] llutz: installed, but doesn't send mail. [22:14] elot: don't freeze tux, so working now again ? [22:14] <|Long|> edbian, let me put back livecd [22:15] Error sending message, child exited 127 (Exec error.). [22:15] Could not send the message. [22:15] tehnef, what do I do after I have successfully downloaded my updates for the ubuntu system? how I install them later? [22:15] Awesome trick with aptitude -R, though, I didn't know about how to do that. [22:15] |Long|, no no. Can you boot recovery mode without a live Cd. Press shift during normal boot (before Ubuntu begin) and use the grub menu [22:15] DasEi: i [22:15] Mathuin: http://wiki.mutt.org/?action=browse&diff=1&id=MuttFaq/Sendmail [22:16] Mathuin: "How do I configure Mutt to use a remote SMTP server to send mail?" [22:16] DasEi: i did uninstall tuxonice-userui and nothing happend [22:16] edbian: sry for fuzzling in again, left ctrl it is on my grub2 [22:16] DasEi: i try reboot just a second [22:16] Is the Firefox4 PPA safe? [22:17] DasEi, No worries. is it really left ctrl? Why do they keep changing it!? What was wrong with escape? [22:17] Hedgehog456: what is safe ? I had no problems, but that are betas, in the daily [22:17] Hedgehog456, If you trust mozilla it is [22:18] DasEi: No malware, will not bug up my system [22:18] Hedgehog456, definitely no malware. [22:18] Hedgehog456: had no problems so far [22:18] llutz: That is very cool. It won't work for me, because I don't have a username and password to give it. [22:18] Hi guys. When I restart my laptop, Gnome Do almost never works properly; I have to restart the application for it to function. Is there a fix for this? [22:18] Hedgehog456, Will firefox4 have bugs in it? Probably. Does firefox3 have bugs in it? Probably [22:18] llutz: thank you for finding it. I will be able to use it in other situations. [22:18] Hedgehog456: has an own pgpg key, so I really doubt eastereggs there [22:19] I have 3x 1TB hard drives. What would happen if I added 3x 1.5TB hard drives and set them up in RAID5 with LVM? Would I lose the extra .5GB per drive or would I be able to get that extra space in the array? [22:19] demonspork: if you set it up as 2 LVM arrays, you'd have redundancy per LVM array, and then you'd have all of your space. [22:20] demonspork: or I mean, 2 arrays added into a single LVM container. === Sazpaimon_ is now known as Sazpaimon [22:20] I am using hamachi on my server, and my comp, both ubuntu, and I want my computer to connect to the server via the virtual connection that hamachi provides to connect to a proxy [22:20] demonspork: Just realize that your redundancy would ONLY be in the raid array's, LVM doesn't provide redundancy. [22:21] egarff, but that would still be n-1, so 2TB per array and I am trying to get 5TB or more out of 6 drives [22:21] egarff, but can't you use LVM to set up a software raid? [22:21] demonspork: It's the only real way to do it... N is equal to your smallest drive in a raid array. [22:21] demonspork: can [22:21] demonspork: I've put software raids in LVM containers. [22:22] demonspork: you can use LVM to use all the drives as part of an 'array', but you don't have any redundancy. [22:22] DasEi: i'm back after reboot still not working [22:22] oh, actually I would have a total of 3TB in the raid5 with the 1.5TB drives and then 2TB with the 3x 1TB drives, so that would be acceptable [22:23] <|Long|> edbian, yea i can boot to cmd line,,, but what do i do there? [22:23] So you'd have 5TB for LVM [22:23] |Long|, What is the name of the driver you installed? [22:24] and this RAID setup I could do in the OS? because the board I am currently planning to use wont' support a BIOS level RAID [22:24] <|Long|> sda1 [22:24] I am using hamachi on my server, and my comp, both ubuntu, and I want my computer to connect to the server via the virtual connection that hamachi provides to connect to a proxy [22:24] |Long|, ... what? [22:24] <|Long|> nvida 8400gs video driver [22:24] demonspork: yes, although that's slightly more convoluted, my suggestion would be to break off 50MB or so for a /boot partition, then use the rest for the raid+lvm [22:25] |Long|, Hang on. I have to find the actual package name. [22:25] egarff, using a separate drive for the OS, so that won't be an issue [22:25] demonspork: BUT, if you wanted to use the whole raid+LVM without a boot partition, it can be done.. [22:25] <|Long|> edbian, thanks [22:25] demonspork: well, there ya go... easy peasy. [22:25] demonspork: use mdadm to setup the arrays, then the lvm tools to add the arrays to the LVM array. [22:25] |Long|, try this: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx then press tab twice (or three times) real fast [22:25] sweet, now to just pick a decent case that will keep all 7 hard drives quiet [22:26] and then I can hit check out on newegg [22:26] demonspork: Now, one caveat. [22:26] oh boy [22:26] <|Long|> edbian, ok let me try [22:26] demonspork: You're using 2 software level 'drivers', so it'll be slightly slower than hardware. [22:26] demonspork: Or just one of them instead of the 2 combined. [22:26] elot: I don't have a certain idea , you can try go through syslog again, find out where these mount-errors come from, also dmesg could reveal something after a frozen hibernation [22:27] egarff, I am aware, it is going to be a file server. Would I get better performance if I simply had 6x 1TB drives in a software RAID rather than 2 different RAIDs combine with LVM? [22:27] |Long|, this is 10.10 maverick ? [22:27] demonspork: I'd guess though that with 5TB, you're looking to do some sort of file (media, smb, etc.) serving. Generally, your network will be a bigger slowdown than the 'drivers'. [22:27] elot: hmm, real big /tmp.. 5.8 isn't much space, too [22:27] demonspork: network will be a bigger bottleneck, I wouldn't stress about it. [22:28] I've added the Mozilla PPA but it's not showing up anywhere. :( [22:28] dual gigabit LAN might stress it a bit during LAN parties, but it probably won't be too bad [22:28] Hedgehog456: did you update the repository list? [22:28] demonspork: heh... bonding will be another hitch for speed, but I wouldn't stress. [22:28] bastidrazor: how do I do that? [22:29] Hedgehog456: how did you add the ppa? [22:29] DasEi: i know but that shudn't be problem i guess [22:29] demonspork: How are you going to bond btw, do you have a managed switch that can do bonding with linux? [22:29] Hedgehog456: it does, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0 [22:29] ok [22:29] What the heck is the difference between nvidia-current, nvidia-96, and nvidia-173 [22:29] Hedgehog456: DasEi actually just 'firefox' [22:30] Speaking of firefox-4, has anyone else noticed on some flash videos (go view CNN's to see it) that you get weird artifacting? [22:30] egarff, if I have a 3 drive RAID5 software array can I add a 4th drive to that raid5 without losing any data or would I have to completely rebuild it to do that? [22:30] demonspork: rebuild [22:30] shoot [22:30] hmm [22:30] demonspork: raid doesn't support adding or removing, just fault tolerance. [22:30] egarff: yeah. it's a problem with the latest version of flash player. i fixed it by switching to the 64 bit flash preview [22:30] I installed ubuntu 10.10 using the whole drive option, and it still says "gave up waiting for root device" upon booting the system, could my ubuntu cd be bad? [22:30] |Long|, Do you have a geforce 8400gs ? [22:30] egarff, artifacting? you on lsd? [22:30] but that only works if you have a 64 bit ubuntu install :P [22:31] Axlin: good to know. === Gurty` is now known as Gurty [22:31] yagoo: no, ubuntu 10.10 [22:31] yagoo: hahaha!! I read that as bsd [22:31] :) [22:31] egarff, not planning on using bonding or anything, just going to have people access it via 2 separate IP Addresses [22:31] |Long|, hello? [22:31] yagoo: artifacting is the tv/movie industry term for strangeness on the screen. [22:31] at LAN parties 2 separate networks [22:32] demonspork: ahh... [22:32] demonspork: well, just remember, most 'intel' based systems have a hard time even utilizing 1 gigabit due to processor/bus limitations. [22:32] now that I finally sat down and learned how to do actual routing I can segregate the broadcast domains at LAN parties [22:33] demonspork: awesome! Been doing that stuff myself for years. ;) [22:33] Hedgehog456: if not in sources.list, additionals go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [22:33] I installed ubuntu 10.10 using the whole drive option, and it still says "gave up waiting for root device" upon booting the system, could my ubuntu cd be bad? [22:33] well, it was a pain having everyone on the same broadcast domain because it took 30 minutes to find out whose computer had a bad NIC that was overloading the switch with bad packets [22:34] |Long|, I have to go. Try to figure out which of these packages you installed so you can remove it. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nvidia&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all [22:34] demonspork: understandable. I think it's a great idea... I'm just saying, don't expect 2N [22:34] 2N? [22:34] demonspork: 2 times 1G [22:34] oh, right [22:35] yeah, just giving it more capability than it can handle to make sure that I can get the maximum out of it [22:35] <|Long|> edbian, thanks [22:35] Does anyone know of a good tutorial on how to triple boot winows 7, osx and ubuntu 10.10? [22:35] |Long|: you are in commandline of rescue mode ? [22:35] demonspork, you running a game server at those lan parties? [22:35] jon__: on a mac? [22:36] demonspork: well, I wish you much luck. The only thing I can suggest with wanting to add drives is LVM gives you that option, you could always buy 2 more drives and add a mirror, thus still having redundancy. [22:36] on a pc [22:36] <|Long|> DasEi, yea on cmd mode now [22:36] jon__: well you should probably start with a hackintosh guide. i know lifehacker has a couple of good ones to set up a dual boot windows/os x system. after that, you'd just create another partition for linux and install ubuntu there [22:37] egarff, yeah, at that point I would also be adding a separate SATA controller card because I would be out of ports, but it is a functional option. I know a guy who does that setup with external drives, just has stacks and stacks of external hard drives and he keeps adding controllers and adding piles of hard drives [22:37] |Long|: you could look in /boot for latest kernel, re-install it simply [22:37] <|Long|> i selected fix broken package option [22:37] demonspork: Heh.. seems slightly ridiculous, but I can see the draw. [22:37] Can I pick which one to boot all from one screen? [22:37] |Long|: also a try worth [22:38] <|Long|> DasEi, i will let you know in few min [22:38] ruan: i reinstalled audacious now program won't open [22:38] jon__: yes. you should be presented with a graphical boot loader which will list windows, os x, linux, and any other bootable media [22:38] jon__: the lifehacker guides should go into detail about that [22:38] jon__, they all can do that.. u'd just have to tinker 1 of them.. i suggest using chameleon2.. [22:38] jon__: ask in #grub for osx, if thhhhat chainloads, win and ubu is no problem, idk about osx [22:38] anyone knows of a codec for a52 in ubuntu [22:39] it's an audio codec... [22:39] danileigh79, lol [22:39] Can i BOOT Ubuntu from VHD like Windows 7? [22:39] yagoo: what's so funny [22:39] Asad, thats ac3 alias dolby digital [22:39] Asad: most can be found in : [22:39] !medibuntu [22:39] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [22:39] RSombry, no.. but grub2 supports a similar thing to vhd bootstrapping for linux image files [22:40] brontosaurusrex: ah right.. is it in mediabuntu? [22:40] DasEi: do you have anymore advice, I still can't get audacious to open [22:40] RSombry, you can have an imagefile with linux on it.. and this imagefile can be on ntfs.. [22:40] Asad, i just use vlc or mplayer [22:40] Asad: tried restricted extras already ? [22:41] If I already have ubuntu and windows loaded I should take ubuntu off and put it back on? [22:41] danileigh79, you don't know how to use audacity. [22:41] Asad: bunch of common ssssstuff : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:41] jon__, "loaded" ? [22:41] yes DasEi .. I tried restricted-extras [22:41] ic [22:41] yagoo: I most certainly do, I had it working, I updated a lib, and now it won't work [22:42] egarff, you will be here in a week when I am configure this rig right? [22:42] yagoo: more details please [22:42] hmm? [22:42] Asad: vlc is next try then [22:42] yagoo: if you're not going to be helpful, don't make unnecessary comments [22:42] danileigh79, do an ltrace .. (library trace).. maybe u have to make a symlink to the new library [22:42] demonspork: haha... I lurk sometimes... I'm in mountain time zone, so generally after work on weekdays probably around 7pm I jump on. [22:42] demonspork: or the weekends. [22:42] danileigh79: what happens if you launch it , btw try to [22:43] DasEi: VLC is working fine on windows but on ubuntu, audio is messed up with this codec.. I think VLC actually uses system codecs for this ... [22:43] I will probably manage, I have done LVM configurations before, but nothing this ambitious yet. [22:43] what codec is not working? [22:43] Asad: nope, bring it's own, same codecs [22:43] good all [22:43] brings* [22:43] Asad, VLC uses some system codecs on Linux [22:43] why would it be different on ubuntu then .. weir [22:44] DasEi: nothing happens at all when i click on audacoious, and says starting audacious when i click on audacious (gtkui) then goes back to nothing happening [22:44] oh demonspork .. can they be replaced? [22:44] Asad, that is the extent of my knowledge on the matter, sorry === Jasonn is now known as it_wasnt_me [22:44] how to boot virtual hard disk in linux?

[22:54] accented charectars and the like [22:54] jon__: if i were you, i would look up one of those how-to's on lifehacker to see if you're willing to go through with it to begin with [22:54] All of the guides I see are to make a hackintosh pc, but thats not dual booting is it?

They're coming up as ? marks in terminal [22:58] jon__, u need to place stage1 of whatever bootloader into the "other" Oses.. so lets say u use grub2 in the mbr.. u'll need to place chameleon2 into OSX's partition and Win7's bootmgr into it's own parition .. then this means just to use "chainloader" for Win7 and OSX from grub [22:58] eamon: check your locales [22:58] llutz: how do I know what the chars are if the comp can;'t display them. I need something tthat can strip these special chars [22:58] Can anyone tell me why Metacity draws drop shadows around Conky? [22:58] Is there an online tut you know of that explains all this?
