[00:00] bastayahijo1: natty /join #ubuntu+1 [00:00] bastayahijo1: yes, and that will also take you to the final once released [00:00] MethedMan, it should work just fine for general sniffing [00:00] bastidrazor: nice, thanks [00:01] in testdisk, what does "Repair MFT" do? [00:01] MaRk-I: thanks [00:02] well this sucks. I have a wireless adapter cisco valet am10 that does not work :( [00:03] hi do somebody know to configure/setup a vpn-connection? i use on windows netscreen remote. [00:03] JuiceFace, cisco is usually pretty good [00:05] Hey Guys... Im kinda on a PPPOE connection that uses My Lan with a specific mac address that i have... Any advices at all? === JodaZ_ is now known as JodaZ [00:08] JuiceFace: is that a USB adapter? [00:09] can anyone help me fix my issue, i enabled xinerama and now the ati control center wont work on 10.10 64 bit? [00:10] i have set up sshd and it is running and all [00:10] it says it can't initialize anymore [00:10] but i simply cant ssh into my pc from my own network! === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [00:11] what did I do wrong, I was having trouble with fullscreen videos on the second screen and thought xinerama would fix it but now it only clones [00:11] mkf00, what is the error? [00:11] pfifo: connection timed out [00:11] mkf00: openssh-server is the package you need. [00:12] mkf00: it's a security feature :-) [00:12] bastidrazor: i already installed it and it is running [00:12] Easy one: My computer hibernates when battery is criticaly low, which would be fine if it wasn't borked on my system. Anyways, the real problem is it thinks 70% is critically low. [00:12] but i cant connect to it from my own network. any suggestions? [00:12] mkf00, you need to google about how to use /ett/hosts.allow [00:12] portscannig myself shows port 22 runs shh and is open === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [00:13] but why then i can't connect? [00:13] what needs to be enabled in order to run ssh on ubuntu?!! [00:13] mkf00: what is the exact command you are using to try and connecdt [00:13] mkf00, sshd respects entried in hosts.allow and hosts.deny [00:13] ssh mkf00@192.168.178.42 [00:14] pfifo: and per default there is no allowed? [00:14] does ubuntu 10.10 come standard with a "dock" on the bottom that resembles apple? [00:14] mkf00, pfifo: no, defaults are fine. [00:14] Asmodeus87: try system settings - power management - advanced battery settings [00:14] JuiceFace, not default [00:14] juiceface try cairo dock [00:14] JuiceFace, no but you can install and use one easily [00:14] I see. thank you Bazhang [00:14] hello, im trying to build empahy 3 but i get this error "No package 'gcr-3' found", but i cant find that package enywhere, any ideas? [00:15] Yes, I find the software center to be quite user friendly! [00:15] JuiceFace: something like 'cairo-dock' could do this for you. [00:15] mkf00, try ssh -v -v -v localhost should give you some more info [00:15] JuiceFace, :) [00:15] geus -v -v -v ? [00:16] from where? server or client? [00:16] i guess from server [00:16] yes [00:16] mkf00: from the server can you ssh localhost? [00:16] yes bastidrazor it works [00:16] err.. i'm a bit slow [00:16] as i said: it is up and running [00:16] mkf00: the IP is correct? [00:16] mehlo: In power management I have "On battery" tab but nothing for advanced battery [00:16] i just can't entry it from another machine (but that is the meani9ng of ssh) [00:17] bastidrazor dUDE .. the IP is right.. -_- [00:17] port 22 opened up? no firewall running? [00:17] I have a strange question. I recently installed ubuntu. I took the default computer name. Can I change my computer name after install? or am i Stuck with alex-fx4710-UB802A ? lol [00:17] geus: as i said: nmaping myself shows port 22 is running ssh and open [00:17] mkf00: can you ssh from the server to the server's IP instead of using localhost? [00:17] JuiceFace, you can use hostname to change it [00:18] yes, works perfectly [00:18] !hostname | JuiceFace [00:18] JuiceFace: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [00:18] Asmodeus87: well, in my kubuntu it's in power management - general settings (not in advanced battery), there you can set the treshold for low and warning level [00:18] hello, im trying to build empahy 3 but i get this error "No package 'gcr-3' found", but i cant find that package enywhere, any ideas? [00:18] from server: ssh mkf00@192.168.178.42 [00:18] works fine [00:19] but not from where it is supposed to work.. [00:19] mehlo: no such option under GNOME [00:19] and client is on the same lan? [00:20] geus yes === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC [00:21] hi [00:21] hello, im trying to build empahy 3 but i get this error "No package 'gcr-3' found", but i cant find that package enywhere, any ideas? [00:21] Asmodeus87: google ubuntuforums a bit, i think i've seen this somewhere [00:21] Hi all: I have a unbuntu 9.10 server. Whenever any user (this is a large, multi-user server) ssh'es out to anywhere, there is a long delay (~30 seconds) before the password prompt is displayed. SSHing out from other machines on the same network to the same destinations works as it should (near-instant). Nothing is showing up in the logs. No other systems are doing this. Any ideas? (Users are arming themselves with pitchforks and coming for [00:21] me....) [00:21] alguien que hable español? [00:21] using verbose connecting from the client doesn't give u any more info? [00:22] mehlo: alright thanks [00:22] Focusyn, en #ubuntu-es [00:22] mkf00, check in !/.ssh on the client for stale keys [00:22] gracias bazhang [00:22] geus, How do I do that? [00:24] pfifo how you mean? [00:24] focusyn poco, que es el problema? [00:24] mkf00, english here please === hp is now known as GOMI [00:25] mkf00, http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_ssh.htm - search for verbose [00:25] mkf00, ls -a ~/.ssh [00:25] /w $me [00:26] verbose logging should give info about wrong/missing keyfile [00:27] geus the verbose output just tells me the same: connection timed out [00:27] pfifo what am i supposed to see inside the /etc/ssh directory? ssh_config and sshd_config [00:27] you gave it multiple -v -v -v 's? [00:28] no i gave it: ssh -v mkf00@192.168.178.42 [00:28] why multiple? [00:29] what kind of subnet are you using for that ip by the way? [00:29] it is a wlan net [00:29] or what you mean [00:29] ? [00:29] mkf00, i forget exactly as i havnt used ssh since a reinstall, but it will show the servers old keys, you can tell by the ip address in the files name, but like geus said, ssh should mention aa problem to you. [00:29] hi everyone, i need help, i d like to know if its possible to reflash an external dvd burner's firmware from ubuntu, is it? [00:29] subnet mask, sorry [00:30] qepz, yes [00:30] Mask:255.255.255.0 [00:30] ok [00:30] pfifo: how could i? [00:30] pfifo: i mean is there anything i should download? [00:31] qepz, well its possible but i dont know how, you would probbally have to write your own program. [00:32] pfifo: O_O at this point i wonder, what if the burner is write protected lol [00:32] qepz, which is a borderline no for most instances [00:32] i tell yah,, this has been a long day trying to install a laptop with usb flash drive.... [00:33] qepz, its probbally safer to do it with the manufacturers provided tools [00:33] pfifo: sorry? dont get that statement, i have a bad english lol [00:33] ", which is a borderline no for most instances" [00:34] qepz, I mean that even if you can write your own program to flash your dvd burners firmware, it is not worth the effort so that means that it is not possible to do so in a practical manner [00:35] pfifo: yay! [00:35] thank you i changed my computer name to something more respectable. like graveyard [00:35] sudo apt-get install ratpoison [00:35] restart [00:35] no ratpoison [00:35] pfifo : lol i been plugging it in some infected pc's and was worried of some hardware based crapware flashing it [00:35] this is freaking me out [00:35] i want to ssh into my pc!! [00:35] pfifo: but if you say no....if it cant be done from windows or linux i think only chuck norris can [00:36] pfifo: and he's not a friend of mines, sadly [00:36] mkf00, sorry, no clue as port is reported open from Internet and verbose doesn't give you anything, weird... sshd_config was default? [00:36] chuck norris sucks [00:36] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IO-Port-Programming-2.html Um, Ubuntu doesn't have #include where is it? [00:36] why is there no ratpoison at login ? [00:37] pfifo: this is a big off topic but its a samsung se-s084d, on their website there is no firmware do i have to suppose there will never be a way to flash the burner (neither good nor bad)? [00:37] qepz, not really something a crapware provider is going todo, but if they were so incline to waste their tame and money, it is possible [00:37] pfifo: crapware = malware lol [00:37] mkf00, did you check auth log on server? [00:37] i did not change anything on sshd_config [00:38] im about to make a user named "geus" with password geus [00:38] just to make you try to connect [00:38] wow installed cairo and its pretty slick! [00:38] no didnt check aut log.. [00:38] howto?= [00:38] mkf00: you would need to port forward 22 [00:38] yes [00:38] Um, I'm having trouble finding a C code header. [00:38] anyone? [00:38] qepz, normally they will only issue a firmware update if there is a bug, if something has malaciously changed the firm ware you may need to get it serviced [00:39] mkf00, tail /var/log/auth.log [00:39] pfifo: any idea of how i could notice? Disk manager states its the TS00 (factory one i must think) [00:39] bastidrazor, not on local lan I'd think [00:39] as the traffic is not routed then [00:40] good night. [00:40] geus: true. since you're not on his LAN though. [00:40] ah, then it would be necessary yes [00:40] qepz, theres probbally no way to tell unless you have a very high quality virus scanner [00:40] gadanya ;) [00:41] pfifo: clamwin on my windows pc lol, none on ubuntu [00:41] i guess im getting somewhere, it says, its copying files... [00:41] qepz, if its acting strangly, its more likely to be a hardware problem [00:41] so what is this ubuntu one for? i mean, is that secure? [00:41] pfifo: in a paranoia world like mine, would you think its possible to do so without physically opening it? [00:42] linuxrealm, It is very secure [00:42] i spoke to soon, about 67% into the install of copying files, it rebooted.... [00:42] throws hands up..... sighs.. [00:42] thats it, im low level formating this drive,,, bbiab [00:42] #join xxxpassword [00:43] #join #xxxpassword [00:43] hi [00:43] PhoenixBurnz: /join #channelName [00:43] qepz, no [00:43] pfifo: woot [00:43] i installed windows 7 and it has a system reserve of 100 mb. Is that what it boots from because I have a MBR from ubuntu now [00:43] pfifo: thank you sir! you made my day! [00:44] pfifo: in my devious mind i thought it was as easy as apple keyboards (they got hacked in a 1 2 3 from some guy lol) [00:44] pfifo: plus its samsung -_- not fortknowlike stuff === yofel_ is now known as yofel [00:44] what's wrong with ubuntu's login manager ? [00:45] how much hdd space is enough for a developer's pc using ubuntu OS ? [00:46] qepz, the likelyhood of a firmware virus is minute, its pretty safe to assume that everything is ok, but like every thing in coumpters you cant guarentee 100% secure [00:46] hi, is it okay to ask a 11.04 beta 2 question? [00:46] leapy0yo, it contains the bootmanager [00:46] dougalb, in #ubuntu+1 please [00:46] dougalb: in #ubuntu+1, yes [00:46] how do i update grub [00:46] thanks [00:46] pfifo: thank you . i feel much better ill keep crossing my fingers for a while then calm lol [00:47] sudo update-grub [00:47] so windows 7 has to be added to grub before deleting it afaik [00:47] how much hdd space is enough for a developer's pc using ubuntu OS ? [00:47] ahmedhelal, i want atleast 4gb unless im not installing X aand a window manager [00:47] anyone know how to fix login window, ?? add ratpoison ?? [00:48] weedeater64: what? [00:48] pfifo: hah, wat wondering should i go for 50gb or 100gb [00:49] !pulseaudio [00:49] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [00:49] qepz, I installed ratpoison, but when I restart it's not in the menu, just goes right to gnome. [00:49] ahmedhelal, you could install every version of gcc and several thousand libs with 100GB [00:50] im trying to use mlbviewer gui but it keeps saying all version keep saying Dependency is not satisfiable: python2.5 what do I need to do? [00:50] quick question about gnome keyring: i am unable to select unlock this keyring automatically when i log in. is this a known issue/easy fix? [00:51] leapy0yo, afaik if you installed ubuntu after windows 7, grub 2 would already have a windows 7 entry. Otherwise Google for grub2 and windows 7 === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [00:52] Hi, i have a question about a set of instructions i found on the ubuntuforums regarding how to ensure that pulseaudio is working correctly. Anyone feel like helping me decifer them? [00:52] edit: its a simple question really :) [00:54] god I switched over to ubuntu 5 days ago...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) === mentaldevils_ is now known as mentaldevils [00:55] is there a way to watch mlb.tv on ubuntu without using a browser? [00:55] dougalb, what version are you using? [00:55] Alright, so I installed the proprietary drivers for my HP Dv7 [00:55] pfifo: since my question requires someone to view an external link i decided that even tho im asking to ask he/she might want to know what htey are getting into before asking. [00:55] gues: i fixed it :-) just change reset login password using control centre [00:55] ok [00:55] leapy0yo, if you still need some infos: [00:55] LOL [00:55] :-) [00:56] geus, pfifo: fixed it - firewall was running -_- [00:56] leapy0yo, sorry, copy+paste http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=409 [00:56] mkf00, lol, i thought you said it wasnt [00:56] user error [00:56] told you so... cool :) [00:56] test1234: if you never ask you will never get an answer [00:57] hello, any ideas why i get this while on the "make" step of "gst-python" http://paste.ubuntu.com/594674/ [00:57] pfifo geus: i totaly forgett, cause for usual it configs itself right :) [00:57] shit shit [00:57] Ben64: true story [00:57] blame on me :) [00:57] With these drivers, the annoying screen flickers stop, but I find myself unable to open anything without the CPU usage spiking to 100% on both cores and freezing the display [00:57] for most time, i dont even recognize that i have a running firewall [00:57] lol [00:57] how do I remove a PPA software source? [00:58] MK``, just remove the ppa or also its software? [00:58] at least "firestarter" secures my box :) [00:58] MK``: Software Sources [00:58] MK``, ppa-purge [00:58] MK``: in 10.10 ppa-purge will do [00:58] it is so secure not even i myself can log in :D [00:58] just the PPA, KNUBBIG [00:59] then Ben64's answer is right, go to software sources and remove it [00:59] low leveling formating currently my 40 gig drive,,, ill let you know if that helped allow ubuntu 10.10 usb flash to load... bbiab [00:59] ok. brasero just ruined my first attemp to burtn a dvd+r dl [00:59] lol [00:59] give my money back [00:59] .. [01:00] rcconf: brasero works for me... [01:00] and cdcreator [01:00] usually the media is the issue i believe [01:00] linuxrealm: DVD-R DUAL LAYER? [01:00] +R [01:00] oh no,,, just plain 1 sided dvd [01:00] ok thank you [01:00] linuxrealm: lol. [01:00] linuxrealm: ofc dvd+r work fine [01:01] single sided [01:01] ofc? [01:01] of course [01:01] there was a program called cdrecord and dvdrecord. [01:01] those worked sometimes [01:01] i just search a bit and found many ppl with problems burning DL dvds [01:01] cdparanoia is other [01:01] in brasero [01:01] shame [01:01] good night to all [01:01] rcconf, we cant refund your money but we can give you an in store credit [01:01] hmm i guess the devs should look into brasero for DL [01:02] does the brasero site say it supports DL? [01:02] dvd+r dl = 2,20€ [01:02] uh ok [01:02] brasero is only a front end [01:02] not cheap [01:03] I just bought one to try.. and unfortunately brasero sucked [01:03] I just smoked my /boot directory by accident, does anyone know where I can find vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic [01:03] from an authorized vendor? [01:04] xphilosx: reinstall the latest kernel [01:04] xphilosx, linux-sources i beleive [01:04] mmk, ill try, but there's more to the story, ill report back in a minute [01:04] xphilosx, i woudn't reboot if i were you [01:04] obviously [01:04] if I knew I would burn it in winblowz [01:05] xphilosx: why did you delete /boot? [01:05] and when? might be recoverable [01:05] Ben64, a really bad ls | grep | xargs command gone wrong [01:05] its gone, I rm -rf'd it [01:05] lol [01:05] doesn't matter [01:06] as long as you didn't overwrite its still physically on the disk [01:06] B [01:06] see, /boot was full so I thought I would be clever and design a command to get rid of anything that wasnt the latest image... well, i screwed myself [01:06] but it might be easier to just re-install the kernel and grub [01:06] Hi, regarding pulseaudio, at this forum in part A it explains that a set of steps needs to be done in order to ensure that pulseaudio is working. Am i to carry out those 3 steps to make sure everything works? Link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [01:06] Ben64: do you know of a program to recover deleted files in Linux? [01:06] B [01:06] so aptitude thinks i still have vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic on my boot [01:06] aron__: why do you keep saying B [01:07] C [01:07] anytime i try to use apt to reinstall it shits the bed looking for it [01:07] rcconf: http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ [01:07] so basically I have a combination of a corrupted aptitude (which I was in the process of fixing) and then killed my boot [01:07] xphilosx: 64 or 32? [01:07] 64 [01:08] hello, please. I upgraded to 11.04 earlier and now I log in to old account and just get my old wallpaper with no desktop icons or toolbars, alt + f2 or nothing works, so I create new account to use this which is fine. I feel it might be settings or theme related so can I maybe remove or rename folder like ~/.gnome or so to get back original theme? Is there someway to reset defaults but keep my home directories and such intact, and how [01:08] to do? [01:08] xphilosx: which ubuntu version? [01:08] test1234, it says part A is to be followed by all users [01:08] Sorry my mobile irc client is kinda lame [01:08] one sec, let me double check [01:08] !natty | Olson [01:08] Olson: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011.

[01:13] stop trolling [01:13] rcconf: memorex dvd's are pretty bad [01:13] Ben64: no, they are not. dont blame the dvd. [01:13] it's brasero bug. [01:13] yes, they are. memorex have a reputation for coasters [01:13] and brasero doesn't do the burning [01:13] oh and burner is brand new. [01:14] Brasero for the win [01:14] :) [01:14] but brasero has problems burning with dual layer = bugs [01:14] brasero has a reputation for not working. and by "reputation for not working" i mean it constantly makes coasters for me. [01:14] Ben64, one sec, I may have thought of a solution [01:14] rww: Really? I have never had Brasero #failwhale on me [01:14] rcconf, i have to burn wii games on the slowest setting or i get problems [01:14] I'm running 64bit maverick and am trying to get e4rat working.

[01:18] xphilosx: make sure you have the initrd, kernel image, system map, etc :) [01:18] Ben64, i always used growisofs and then cdrecord [01:18] :) [01:18] thanks [01:18] Im unsure why people burn anything these days anyways [01:18] ;) [01:18] pfifo: back on rh9 i used growisofs only [01:20] so far so good [01:20] sweet, its giving me some images [01:20] i did dmesg |grep growisofs and it says is 32 bit [01:20] im using maverick 64bit [01:21] is this a problem? lol. [01:21] rcconf, shouldn't be with multilib [01:21] rcconf: have you tried burning in anything else [01:21] Ben64, :) good to go [01:21] hi guys. anyone know why that with each success update of ubu 10.10 gnome, that video playback on the internet suffers more and more? [01:21] <[Soma]> xphilosx, strange question, but are you 'straight edge'? [01:21] successive [01:22] Ben64: I burned single sided dvds before [01:22] only 4 in total [01:22] rcconf: i mean any other program [01:22] no [01:22] and now i cant trty [01:22] maybe you should [01:22] *try* [01:22] why not [01:22] [Soma], not strange given my nick, but no, about 6 years ago in high school someone named me phil los, so on DALnet philos was already taken so I threw some "leet" x's around it [01:23] [Soma], I actually dislike the nick but its how most people know me [01:23] Laterz my laptop is overheating (damn CPU overclocking :P ) [01:23] rcconf, did you do a simulate and write, or a write only? [01:23] <[Soma]> That's cool. Just wondering because of the X's. Haven't seen anyone with those around their nick for... very long. :) [01:23] pfifo: I just burned it........ [01:23] it was burning. [01:24] <[Soma]> I have my leet square brackets... [01:24] but then stopped [01:24] dont know why. [01:24] rcconf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:24] [Soma], yeah, I haven't actually been on IRC regularly for nearly a very long time [01:24] !enter > rcconf [01:24] rcconf, please see my private message [01:24] *get rid of nearly [01:24] be happy that didn't make his nick xXPh170x70zXx [01:24] <[Soma]> I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 and I don't really know my way around Linux much. I can only pick 1360x768 as highest resolution, although 1600x900 and 1920x1080 should be available (both of those work in Win). Any ideas? [01:24] rcconf, next time do a simulate, if its a problem with the libs or backend it will fail without destroying the disc [01:24] Ben64, looks like everything is good, I satisfied my apt troubles with that image as well [01:25] :( [01:25] xphilosx: cool, gl :) [01:25] HyperShock, believe me.. unfortunately it probably crossed my mind [01:25] Ben64, cheers, take care [01:25] [Soma]: is that the highest rez shown in the monitors applet? [01:25] * HyperShock gives a scathing high five to xphilosx! [01:26] <[Soma]> yeah, and the monitors applet also gives me this: http://i.imgur.com/WQ3Zy.png [01:26] HyperShock, back when DALnet was cool and mIRC scripting was awesome [01:26] HyperShock, (note, none of those things have ever been cool, I just thought they were) [01:27] <[Soma]> My first nick on IRC was "Hempmaster" in like... 1995 or so. Good thing I didn't stick to that. [01:27] lol [01:27] !ot | xphilosx & [Soma] [01:27] xphilosx & [Soma]: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:28] <[Soma]> sorry :) [01:28] ok, that is just weird, have you tried searching google yet for the name of your monitor (& model number) plus this "ubuntu 10.10"? [01:28] next time I wont use Ubuntu or other distro to burn the DL... [01:28] why to risk [01:28] Does anyone know if there is a simple way to get the package manager to only upgrade a package if a newer version is available? (ie: an semi-hold) I'm asking because I've applied a patch to a package (256 colors for rxvt-unicode) and now the package manager keeps trying to replace my manually compiled version with the upstream copy of the same version. [01:29] rcconf: what is going on? [01:29] rcconf, i avoid basero always ;) [01:29] rcconf: try k3b [01:29] I had problems with k3b on this computer before [01:29] <[Soma]> Yeah, I have spent quite some time googling it, but no success. Someone posted a thread on the ubuntuforums about a similar monitor (same model, different series), but he had an entirely different problem with it. [01:29] it stopped burning. [01:29] maybe you're computer is broken === z is now known as Guest81337 [01:30] your* [01:30] rcconf, nothing wrong with burning it on windows either... its made me plenty of coasters too [01:30] <[Soma]> HyperShock, could it be my gfx chip (very mediocre Intel onboard gfx chip), or is the problem definitely my monitor? [01:30] Ben64: no, because I could burn in brasero [01:30] [Soma]: i know a solution but it's not a happy one === Guest81337 is now known as ZeroAlpha [01:30] same images [01:30] same disk, same drive [01:30] drive* [01:30] adsasdasd [01:30] rcconf: dude you don't need to hit enter after every work [01:31] [Soma]: its a monitor definition, [01:31] <[Soma]> Ben64, well I've tried previous Linux distributions but always ended up kinda missing Windows, but for the first time ever, I'm actually very happy with Linux and not at all tempted to switch back. So... seen as I'd like to stick with this, I'm happy dealing with the problem however difficult it is. [01:31] Ben64: the thing is that I transfered the iso to the laptop which has the dvd dl burner...... [01:31] who here knows how to change the monitor definations in Xorg using the new system? [01:31] Ben64: and I use Ubuntu on USB drive [01:32] in there [01:32] How do I change the defaults for Evince so the left thumbnail side bar doesn't open as default? [01:32] HyperShock, its the same just the xorg.conf is now in /usr/lib/xorg.conf.d [01:32] HyperShock: not me, i'd do a good ol' xorg.conf, which is the method i was hinting at to you [Soma]. what is the highest res the monitor supports? what model is it? make? dimensions? [01:33] pfifo: ls: cannot access /usr/lib/xorg.conf.d: No such file or directory [01:33] ImgBurn in Wine should do it [01:33] lol [01:33] Anyone here have knowledge with Razuna server with tomcat 6 [01:33] !xrandr | HyperShock - It says dual montitors but the docs will help [01:33] HyperShock - It says dual montitors but the docs will help: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

The highest res should be 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz. And it's an LG Flatron E2350V. [01:34] [Soma]: see the 2 ubottu posts above [01:34] which VNC server do you recommend? [01:34] I dont want to use gnome's [01:34] [Soma]: yeah thats what i mean, ubuntu doesn't make xorg.xonf anymore by default. [01:35] Ben64, could have sworn it was there, let me look [01:35] [Soma]: actually those links that Scunizi gave seem like a better solution that what i would have done [01:35] pfifo: i personally don't have a directory or file of that name in the /usr/lib directory [01:36] <[Soma]> Ben64, oh so you meant it's not a "happy solution" because I'd have to create the xorg.conf from scratch? Also, will anything in the xorg.conf "override" the default settings? With other words: If I create a xorg.conf and it doesn't work, I can just fix the problem by removing the file again? [01:36] i have an issue with compiz sometimes resetting itself when my screensaver activates. anyone know why? [01:36] <[Soma]> Okay, thank you for the links, whoever is responsible for sending them my way. [01:36] <[Soma]> I'll read my way through them right away. [01:36] hello, It is safe to install trinitydesktop and kubuntu as well? [01:36] Ben64, HyperShock I guess my technique is once again outdated this is going to suck next time i want to use the drawing tablet [01:36] pfifo: i still use an xorg.conf on my system, i refuse to not have one [01:37] <3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 4.9K 2011-03-16 13:42 /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:37] * pfifo is making some coffee, anyone want some?

[01:39] ? [01:39] rcconf: yeah, and look at all your logs and stuff [01:39] Ben64, yeah, i have my eeepc's xorg.conf emailed to myself in gmail, been using the same one for severl ears oer 3 differnet versions of ubuntu and a few other ditros too [01:39] s/years over/ [01:39] pfifo: which programs brasero uses to burn [01:40] and how can I check its logs [01:40] rcconf, apparently growisofs [01:40] rcconf, should be dmsg material there [01:40] anyone know the real reason ubu is using this new method of xorg and summarily grub management? It was imho easier the other way, considering the lack of documentation in this new endeavor [01:41] less mucking around in config files? [01:41] rcconf: in term try 'dmesg | tail' or 'dmesg | less' .. you can see all your logs in /var/log/ [01:42] Was popping [01:43] hi I am trying to join more chans but get error msg [01:43] Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [01:43] - [01:43] * HyperShock feels confused by GANDBLASTER's statement!

[01:45] * rcconf sues Brasero === vampirekiller is now known as VampireKiller [01:45] [Soma], you should take Ben64's advice and write a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [01:45] <[Soma]> hehe sorry, I'm having trouble keeping up. Also reading through the links I got from the bot. === GANDBLASTER is now known as Gandblaster [01:45] do you where ican complain about brasero? [01:45] know [01:45] i have an issue with compiz sometimes resetting itself when my screensaver activates. [01:46] Gandblaster: heh, i hoped it was such, cause at first it sounded like a bathroom statement with a typo. [01:46] rcconf, surely they have a soruceforge or github account [01:46] rcconf: either launchpad or bugzilla.gnome.org I presume. [01:46] HAHAHAHAHA [01:46] behave [01:46] I lived in Neweark so had to get up on the local lingo [01:47] "Join us at our IRC channel: #brasero at irc.gimp.org " [01:47] Newark NJ one of the many armpits of NJ...

[01:51] yo what happend to the Cisco chat? [01:51] up in here? [01:51] tightvnc is good? [01:51] <[Soma]> HyperShock / pfifo: So when I create the xorg.conf, should it still go in /etc/X11, or to /usr/lib? [01:52] jessicaBR, thats part of the POSIX standard, but i might be mis understanding you [01:53] jessicaBR, IE its part of the kernel [01:53] [Soma], /etc/X11 completly disregard the /usr/lib i mentioned [01:54] <[Soma]> alrighty, thanks. [01:54] hardest part of making a xorg.conf is getting the right sync numbers [01:55] hey, i'd like to install vlc-1.1.8 from the ludic [01:55] hey, i'd like to install vlc-1.1.8 from the ludid-bleed ppa [01:55] pfifo, I'm looking for an abstraction layer in C++ that handles socket programming, and allows me to forget specific system function calls [01:55] but even though i've added the source [01:55] hallo [01:56] ubuntu still only offerst 1.1.4 from the stock repos [01:56] how do i explicitly tell apt-get i want the ppa version? [01:56] icat: can you paste the output of apt-cache policy vlc? [01:56] I want to setup a VNC server and connect to it without loging in (GDM). Which VNC server should I use? [01:56] icat: generally: apt-get install vlc=VERSION. So we need to find out the version that is available in the PPA. Hence the apt-cache policy command. [01:57] jessicaBR, nearly every mainstream scripting language has socket bindings, if you know perl or python then your in business, lua php and tcl also [01:57] <[Soma]> Ben64, after reading through the urls posted to me earlier, I'm increasingly tempted to just wait another 12 days and hope that 11.04 fixes the problem for me :) [01:57] jessicaBR: glib has things like that [01:57] jessicaBR, or perhaps look into libcurl [01:57] muelli, sec === derp is now known as Guest19490 [01:57] [Soma]: unlikely, your video card is probably the problem, as its not detecting the monitor specs [01:58] pfifo, I'd like to stick with C++ :) Khisanth going to read more about Glibmm then. pfifo I'm going to read about libcurl too, thanks!

[02:01] español [02:01] hola rose [02:01] Does anyone have any thoughts on weather it's worth moving to Natty with Unity, or waiting for a Gnome 3 Mint instead? [02:02] hey guys [02:02] Auriga: try #ubuntu-offtopic [02:02] jessicaBR, gnome is a windows manager and has nothing todo with sockets,cone way or another your going to have to add a lower level library somewhere to get a connect called [02:02] icat: I'm afraid I can't browse the web atm.

[02:05] muelli, i'll ask again tomorrow, thx again [02:06] quatch: not physically. But your data might get corrupted, i.e. stuff you thought you'd written to disk might not yet have been written out. [02:07] you mean it might not all get deleted? [02:07] <[Soma]> Ben64, sorry to bother you so much, but quick question: I currently have a very mediocre onboard gfx chip. If I was to add a PCIe gfx card to my computer, would I have to disable to gfx chip somehow for it to recognise my new card? [02:07] jessicaBR, some of those package use libcurl, gimp for instance [02:07] Hey guys, how can I remove all but the currently running kernel easily? [02:07] quatch, Not so much for data either, as long as you are running a more recent file system, like ext3 or ext4. I believe those are journaled file systems. You might not lose anything [02:07] [Soma]: it'd be best to disable it if you can, usually through bios [02:07] anyone know how to add ubuntu to Windows boot.uni [02:07] pfifo, right, but I am using gnome only :) [02:07] Hey, all! When's 11.04 slated for release? [02:08] well i mean im using the program to nuke the HD with PRNG stream so I can then install Ubuntu or Debian [02:08] <[Soma]> Thank you, Ben64, I'll look into it. [02:08] So im not to worried about losing data. I want to lose data lol. i think... [02:08] soreau: funnily enough, I don't know about an existing solution to that obvious problem. If you find any, let me know. For now, you can do smth like "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" and apt-get purge the old ones.

[02:09] jessicaBR, I dont know of any gnome libs that are specifically designed for working with sockets. to really answer your question. [02:09] muelli: Yea, I'm kinda looking for a one-liner to automatically do it [02:09] Cheers, KM0201. [02:09] :) [02:09] soreau: in gui? use synaptic and search for linux .. then tag the "Installed" on the left and search for the kernels and headers [02:09] ubuntu always just keeps installing new kernels but never uninstalls any old ones [02:09] is installing debian as easy as ubuntu? my hardware should be supported if supported under ubuntu?

[02:10] Scunizi: No, I want a non-manual way of doing it [02:10] soreau: I'm very confident that you can cook up a clever line with dpkg and smth like uname. But I don't know of any.

[02:27] wolfy_: gufw [02:28] atyoung, i could have swore i told him this the other day [02:28] atyoung, but ive told aloot of prople grub related stuff [02:28] what's the point of a firewall when most users connect through routers? === derp is now known as derp|gone [02:29] foa a /dev/vda i still need to put (hd0,1) or it would be vd0,1 [02:29] HTCPX, could protect you from wireless hackers [02:29] HTCPX: not much [02:29] pfifo lol [02:29] HTCPX, some user's play with laptops in the Mall on the wifi...

[02:31] my friend says ubuntu is bloated, he uses mint. is there any truth in that? [02:31] and If I am behind the router, the traficc is cool again (zero) [02:31] HTCPX: yes [02:31] i upgraded to beta 2 and it seems to have changed my top status bar to a light grey theme and will not change back to a dark grey theme....anyone know how to fix this issue> [02:31] I don't think so [02:32] depends on how you put the problem [02:32] HTCPX, imo ubuntu is very bloated and resource heavy for a linux distro [02:32] I know that suse is boated [02:32] pfifo, at least it work's [02:32] ! [02:33] when I click Network from Places today, it shows that it is loading, then just closes silently. It wasn't doing this yesterday... [02:33] Is it crashing? [02:33] debain and it's children are bloated by nature, including mint. [02:33] atyoung pfifo, I guess that's what happens when you Target home users [02:33] wolfy_, i get better uptimes from redhat based distros [02:33] I prefer ubuntu to mint [02:33] HTCPX: No doubt a contributing factor.

I don't know how arch it is but i guess it;s gooood [02:35] HTCPX, lubuntu i think is in that direction [02:35] go with gentoo for a server === mentaldevils_ is now known as mentaldevils [02:35] HTCPX, i just down loadthe reg iso and strip it and put what i want on it [02:35] gentoo sucks as a server [02:35] MystKid: You don't know what you're talking about [02:36] atyoung: i use gentoo [02:36] MystKid: I call BS [02:36] on a server [02:36] I'm probably what you call a noob [02:36] gentoo is too expermental for a stable server [02:36] as a server it sucks...ive used it to but it is a horrible server [02:36] its stable if you know how to set it up [02:36] my server has been running for over 3 years [02:36] no issues [02:36] i know how to set it up and it is horrible as a server [02:36] also my firewall-router has been up for 60 days now [02:37] im about to install natty, wish me luck [02:37] MystKid: the kinds of stuff you ask there is no way you have a stable gentoo server running. No way. [02:37] sure :) [02:37] lol [02:37] i agree [02:37] Please check my message I need help... [02:37] you have more resources going to compiling daily when you should have those resources for your servers [02:38] alsa on ubuntu. when playing an audio stream, after about a minute volume decreases within a few seconds to zero. what can be the reason? have played with alsamixer as well as the gnome mixer, tried all settings [02:39] vahni, a bad normalizinng algo, what player are you using or does it affect all of them [02:39] mplayer [02:40] is mplayer's volume dewcreasing or is it in alsa? [02:40] affect all of them, means all of which? [02:40] some players don't like what pulse does with volume controls too [02:40] pfifo neither nor. just the sound decreases [02:40] so there's this app called "Make USB Startup Disk" in the menus. What package is it in, and what's the command name? [02:40] ok why the hell does ubuntu show 16:10 resolutions under 1920x1080? [02:40] dtigue, there's no way he is running a gentoo server if he could compile and build a gentoo ubuntu would be a breeze [02:41] does vlc or gstreamer do the same if you have them, perhaps amarok? [02:41] do you guys use IDS/IDP? [02:41] quuxman: usb-creator [02:41] pfifo will try out [02:41] you can also try playing things with 'Normalize sound' disabled [02:41] quuxman: you can grep /usr/share/applications and use dpkg -S to see what package it's in [02:41] hiexpo, i thought so myself, unfortunately for me i feel like a noob today cause of this issue with the beta but i suppose its because it is a beta [02:42] ids/idp = intrusion prevenition system / hips etc [02:42] Is there anything like kdesudo in gnome? [02:43] any ideas on how to override/change the supported formats list for portable players in rhythmbox? [02:43] ohsix: yeah, dpkg -S is very useful.

Do you have a spare USB keyboard that you could plug in? [02:57] muelli: yes ill try that give me a sec ill be back im going to go get one [02:57] BluesKaj: the file is a kvm disk image [02:57] created with ubuntu-vmbuilder [02:58] so it is 'supposed' to 'just work' [02:58] no? === Zorro is now known as Tails_doll === Tails_doll is now known as Zorro [02:58] CrazyGir, are you sure you actually put a file system on it [02:59] vmbuilder is a python script which gives you a fully installed VM [02:59] pfifo movies as well. === Zorro is now known as Guest47194 [02:59] vahni, are you on a laptop?

But you could argue it being a desktop. [03:00] muelli: no [03:00] muelli: what do i do now? [03:00] vahni, it might be turning off the sound to try to save power, look and see if you have a setting like that in power or sound settings [03:01] muelli: so gnome is removed in natty ? [03:01] pfifo i have reinstalled alsa-base, as i assume its alsa. maybe i should try to reinstall the other alsa packages as well [03:01] pfifo its definitely not a power saving thing [03:01] jeregon: O_o That's very weird. I can't imagine good reasons for the USB Keyboard to fail. Unless the modules were not installed correctly. Can you get SSH access? It's a server after all... [03:02] kaushal, no, its not.

[03:04] jeregon: well. That's a very individual problem. Are you on the same network as the server? [03:04] yes [03:04] jeregon: if you, you could nmap your subnet. [03:04] muelli: yes [03:04] pfifo that auto management stuff in skype has to do with power save? [03:05] vahni, no it tries to set my mic to what it thinks is an acceptable level but it is broken and just turns it all the way down [03:05] muelli: ok [03:05] how come remote desktop viewer doesn't connect to my window [03:05] jeregon: but I'd double check that the keyboard you're trying to use actually works, i.e. by trying it on a PC that you know has working USB. [03:05] <_Tristan> hey, how can I make my microphone always play to my speakers? [03:05] pc [03:05] ? [03:05] vahni, no related to power or your problem, but similiar none the less.

[03:16] huh. got it working... later all [03:17] pfifo today i tried gkrellm and conky. installing and purging them. i doubt they can affect sound :) [03:18] vahni, their deps could have. [03:18] vahni, did it change your kernel? [03:18] at least one of those also has plugins that deals with sound === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [03:20] pfifo of course i did not change the kernel [03:20] pfifo gkrellm and conky dont have deps [03:20] vahni, conky can mess your sound ifyou had wrong conkyrc === jack is now known as Guest193 [03:20] hiexpo :( i purged the rc already [03:21] vahni, i get this 'conky conky-all gkrellm libimlib2 libntlm0' [03:22] pfifo these are your deps of conky?

[03:48] afirocks: either will work. The only difference is how they look. [03:48] same underlying system [03:48] how i do it? [03:48] thanks that all i wanted to know :D [03:48] afirocks: you can install either one over the top of the other with apt, it'll just use more space if you don't remove the useless packages [03:48] afirocks: the desktop should be ok, and you can install the netbook manager afterwards if you want [03:48] !pt [03:48] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[03:49] vahni, i dont see any specific problem in the file, best i can say is reinstall libasound2 and if that doesnt work, then reinstall all of ubuntu, since we cant locate the exact cause [03:49] Caboose885 : it would be so bad if it went away after, say, a couple of seconds [03:49] how can I figure out is apt-p2p is working properly or not?

If there was a way to just kill the watermark off that would be nice but since I don't have a system to test it on I can't be of much help [03:51] _Neytiri_: it sounds like you have a package manager open or running [03:51] <_Neytiri_> theres noting running [03:51] Rt: You aren't in #ubuntu-br on freenode [03:51] _Neytiri_: check in system monitor under processes [03:51] * Now talking on #ubuntu-br" [03:52] Rt: You could be in a net split situation.

[03:56] heh [03:56] <[Soma]> kinda lonely in there though. [03:56] DrMax: are you installing 11.04 yet? [03:56] Caboose885 : 11.04 seems to be supporting the wifi and the video correctly [03:56] but your not allowed to have color control codes in channel names [03:56] when is the final due? [03:57] 11.04 isn't supported here yet though [03:57] ! 11.04 | DrMax [03:57] DrMax: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [03:57] DrMax: awesome [03:57] !11.10 [03:57] Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 [03:57] I'm using the live version for now [03:57] Lost my connection trying set wireless [03:57] <[TK]D-Fender> Isse with 10.10 x64 audio recording. I have an SB Audigy 1 and can't seem to record off either the mic or line in and could use a hand. testing with Audaicty & the core Sound Recorder [03:57] even when you liveCD 10.10 it would do that watermark? [03:58] saulo: Are you having trouble with getting wireless to work? [03:58] I take back wireless [03:58] it doesn't work [03:58] and Unity is an abomination [03:58] <[Soma]> [TK]D-Fender: just to make sure, have you checked the alsamixer? [03:58] soreau: yes. I've installed now wicd package, but now I see "checking for access point association" and the connection fail. [03:59] saulo: What wifi chip is it? [03:59] DrMax: the "Classic" gnome is able to be switched to easily [03:59] just log out and select it for the session [03:59] Yes. I'm was thinking was a hardware problem, but another system connect correctily :( [04:00] Yes. Ah sorry! let me check! [04:00] saulo: It still could be that the wifi chip you have doesn't support the encryption type your access point has set [04:00] saulo run lspci in terminal [04:00] check what chip it is [04:01] ok, so let's wait a few weeks for the final 11.04 [04:01] <[TK]D-Fender> [Soma]: Just checked it... seeing progress.... [04:01] soreau: ASUS EEE-PC 1005-HA. From lspci: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [04:01] DrMax: Sounds good to me. No sense in rushing perfection :) [04:01] odd...I had to bring my eth0 up and run dhclient manually just now...I just did an update too... [04:01] <[TK]D-Fender> [Soma]: The stock GUI mixer kinda (really) sucks [04:01] saulo: Is it an HP laptop? [04:01] claw: ASUS EEE-PC 1005-HA. From lspci: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [04:01] soreau: Asus EEE-PC Netbook [04:01] saulo, ubuntu hates asus [04:02] Would this be the best place to ask vnc questions? [04:02] saulo: Does iwconfig show a wlan0 interface? [04:02] <[Soma]> well, [TK]D-Fender, I don't know that much about Linux. I only came to this channel to deal with my own problem, but I recently had issues with my mic in skype, and turning up the volume in alsamixer fixed it. Good luck to you... [04:02] Caboose885 : especially that RCs and Betas aren't perfection :p [04:03] according to my /etc/network/interfaces, eth0 isn't auto. Is this syntactically correct? : auto lo eth0 [04:03] soreau, claw, pfifo: This wireless worked for 3 months for me, and yesterday stopped. And I really don't know what could be :( [04:03] saulo: Was it after an update/upgrade? [04:03] saulo, i ws just reading info cause i just put 10.10 on the 701 im on right now [04:04] soreau: I really don't remember about done this :( [04:04] saulo: Do you have a previous kernel in the grub list when you boot that you can try? [04:04] soreau: Yes [04:04] soreau, yes iwconfig will show wlan0 [04:04] <[TK]D-Fender> [Soma]: thanks... it recording, but got some recording rate issues... I think his should have something I can tweak real soon... [04:05] is there a 10.04 version of netbook ubuntu? The download page oesn't seem to have it [04:05] saulo, do you see the interface with ifconfig -a [04:05] saulo: Does iwconfig show a wlan0 interface? [04:05] soreau: Yes, ans iwconfig shows info about wlan0 too [04:05] saulo, i followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Ralink Card [04:05] saulo: Does 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid' show AP's? [04:07] am i really putting my ubuntu computer at risk if i'm adding repositories from forums to get thunderbird update 3.1? [04:07] itilious: what forum? [04:08] Caboose885, digitizor.com [04:08] its ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa [04:08] is that legit? [04:08] soreau: Yes, and my AP is here: ESSID:"dlink" [04:08] itilious, install packages from untrusted sources can cause paroblems [04:08] itilious: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/thunderbird-stable [04:08] itilious: official launchpad page [04:08] saulo: Ok that's good at least.. what encryption type do you have set for it? [04:08] pfifo: I don't found info for 10.10, it works for this version? [04:09] itilious: thats legit but do you want to be running unstable software? I would add the stable repository [04:09] so that ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa prob isnt good to use then Caboose885 ? [04:09] i see [04:09] saulo, according to it, you can just use that 8.10 package there, but mind you i have the ath5k so im not 100% sure [04:09] thanks Caboose885, but how do i know whats stable and whats testing? [04:09] soreau: This AP has no security, I never have patience to reset it and put one to work xD [04:10] itilious: it generally says in the repository what type it is [04:10] pfifo: ok! [04:10] like on the launchpad page it says its the stable repository, itilious [04:11] oscargot: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.2/ go down the page and select netbook [04:11] saulo: Alright, try this: sudo service network-manager stop && sudo killall nm-applet wicd; sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid dlink && sudo dhclient wlan0 [04:11] hello, can anyone help me, "My Computer" does not open when clicked and no drives show up on the left pane of windows, but they show up in gparted and disk utility. [04:11] saulo: Also, is there any other AP named 'dlink' in your area? [04:11] Caboose885, if i remove that ppa i added and then change it to the one you suggest, would that change the installed version? [04:11] soreau: Probabilly I will lost connection here, but I will back, ok? [04:12] saulo: ok [04:12] hello, can anyone help me, "My Computer" does not open when clicked and no drives show up on the left pane of windows, but they show up in gparted and disk utility. [04:12] how are you losing connection if wireless isnt working? [04:12] soreau: about another ssid, I'm certainly has noone [04:12] saulo: ok [04:12] MaRK-I: Thanks >: D, is there anything different in the netbook edition except for the different GUI, can I technially just sudo apt-get the desktop environment? [04:13] itilious: I believe so. You already upgraded to the daily version? [04:13] pfifo: I think he's connected with eth0 and he's trying to connect with wifi [04:13] soreau, pfifo: I'm connected with my PC RJ-45 cable (eth0 lan) [04:13] :) [04:13] oscargot: in that case download the desktop edition [04:13] Caboose885, yes i just did and now trying to figure out how to go back lol [04:13] soreau: :D yes! [04:13] oscargot: but yes you can install several DE [04:13] itilious: you could purge the entire program... [04:13] saulo, you shouldnt disconnect from that by messing with the wireless tho [04:13] itilious: but any settings and emails will go away [04:13] soreau, pfifo: Going do the test [04:13] itilious: make backups [04:14] MaRK-I: Okay thanks >:D! [04:14] soreau, pfifo: Ok, I will enter here from my normal PC to try test the wireless [04:14] soreau, pfifo: I back soon [04:14] saulo, you can pop in and out all you want [04:14] oscargot: yw [04:14] saulo: If it says 'Renewal in so many seconds', that means it worked [04:15] Caboose885, which directory is thunderbird located in? i'm a n00b looking for the 'prog files' folder lol [04:15] soreau, type 'iwconfig' and see if its connected [04:15] pfifo: Yea that too [04:16] itilious: try home/.mozilla-thunderbird [04:16] soreau, on mine the light comes on [04:16] thats just the profile stuff [04:16] emails [04:16] pfifo: LED's mean nothing [04:16] "app data" equiv to windows i guess [04:16] itilious: to uninstall it? [04:17] soreau, my blue LED has been pretty faithful [04:17] Caboose885, purge/uninstall yes [04:17] ah [04:17] itilious: you never do it manually, just use apt-get to do it [04:17] test [04:17] itilious: use Synaptic Package Manager (System-->Admin-->Synaptic) [04:17] hi everyone, i was looking for a netbook that would play nice with ubuntu (11.04 no idea if unity is a gpu/cpu killer) just to watch videos on youtube and megavideo (HD possibly) i found out a dell mini 1018 with "ATOM N455 , intel gma 3150, 1 gb ram" would it play nice? === ash_ is now known as Ashkin [04:18] itilious: in the quick search box type "thunderbird" then mark the packages for complete removal [04:18] hello, can anyone help me, "My Computer" does not open when clicked and no drives show up on the left pane of windows, but they show up in gparted and disk utility. [04:18] wutzis: atom probably can't do HD [04:18] i want to try out unity and ubuntu 11.04 in virtualbox, but i'm not having much luck. i have 3d acceleration turned on for the VM and i have all of the virtualbox-guest packages installed, but when i log into ubuntu, i just see the wallpaper and nothing more. any ideas? [04:18] test [04:18] Ben64: odd, that kid in the commercial was watching a HD video lol [04:18] itilious: just make sure it doesn't try and remove ubuntu-desktop or a extremely important package [04:18] Ashkin: testing what? ;) [04:18] SMG: Does 'nautilus' from your terminal work?

You can always check Ubuntu Forums for help [04:25] failed to mpount drive and tons of letters all over the screen Ben64 [04:25] ubuxubu: gonna need the whole thing [04:25] Anyone know? [04:25] ubuxubu: dmesg | tail -n 300 [04:25] sly: for natty support #ubuntu+1 [04:25] SMG: Sounds like you overwrote a bunch of packages you shouldn't have. Typically you should install something like that to a nonstandard prefix but sounds like it's too late for that [04:26] SMG: So, you can try and reinstall all packages you installed from source and see if that fixes it or reinstall ubuntu [04:26] Ben64: it sill up the whole screen [04:26] SMG: Reinstall packages, with your package manager [04:26] ubuxubu: use pastebin [04:26] Ashkin: Is it an HP laptop by chance? [04:26] Ben64: well lets try and do some math, ill need your help here because i suck at this , if windows 7 starter works i think ubuntu with unity (remember i have no idea of how much cpu it eats) should work at least fine right? [04:26] cant working remote [04:27] soreau: yes that might be it, can i reinstall ubuntu without deleting what is on harddrive (overwrite everything) [04:27] soreau: iie, it's a toshiba satellite [04:27] wutzis: if it works on windows chances are it will in ubuntu [04:27] Ashkin: Alright, does 'iwconfig' show a wlan0 interface? [04:27] Ben64: if it doesnt would it be good to throw as freesbie at my dog? LOL [04:27] ubuxubu: 16 03:25:26 < jeremyb> ubuxubu: dmesg | tail -n 300 [04:28] wutzis: no, the computer probably contains mercury, not safe for dogs [04:28] soreau: nope. [04:28] hello all [04:28] jeremyb: wut does that mean? [04:28] finally got Ubuntu installed on my laptop [04:28] hehehehe [04:28] Ben64: awww didnt they remove it? omg [04:28] after a series of errors [04:28] optidude: grats ~ [04:29] Ashkin: What is the output of 'lspci|grep Network'? [04:29] and alot of re-teaching my self....i have been using windows for 20 years...lol [04:29] Ben64: alright, they put mcafee with win 7 it will most definetly work with ubuntu! lolol unless video drivers mess up [04:29] wutzis: not that i know of, at least the backlight has Hg i think [04:29] Ben64: pasten 2 whole pages of weird copes? [04:29] haha [04:29] ubuxubu: sure [04:29] no way? [04:29] Ben64: i beg your pardon? [04:29] ubuxubu: nobody can help you unless they can see the problem [04:29] its all garbled nonsence hehe Ben64 [04:29] the card is an Atheros AR5001 [04:29] ^ @ soreau [04:30] it's unlikely to be nonsense [04:30] wutzis: i think the backlight for the screen has Hg (mercury) in it [04:30] Ben64: some driver that mounts the drive at boot must of got broken somehow [04:30] even if you think it is [04:30] Ben64: oh great [04:30] Ben64: oh well ran great for a week [04:30] Ashkin: Which version of ubuntu is it? [04:30] ubuxubu: open a shell or terminal. type "dmesg | tail -n 300" (no quotes). pastebin the output [04:30] wutzis: don't worry, just don't eat it, or toss in trash, recycle! [04:30] Ben64: you know what? i gotta figure out what the heck blacklight is in my language :P anyways thank you very much for your answers, much appreciated [04:30] Ben64: yup i do recycle stuff safely :) [04:30] backlight, not blacklight [04:31] i have an Atheros AR5001 chip [04:31] 10.10. originally a 9.x, updated to 10.4, now to 10.10 earlier today [04:31] Ashkin: Does 'lsmod|grep ath' show ath5k module is loaded? [04:31] Ben64: rofl that seemed rather odd, a blacklight >.< [04:31] how DOES one dispose of an old computer safely? [04:31] ubuxubu, what error are you getting when mounting drive [04:31] soreau: nope [04:31] Ashkin: Try loading the module with 'sudo modprobe ath5k' then check iwconfig for wlan0 interface [04:31] cant mopunt drive and a whole page and a half of bizarre nonsence codes q0_0p [04:32] soreau: detects now ~ [04:32] ubuxubu: pastebin it...... [04:32] oscargot, leave it in home depot's parking lot [04:32] Ben64: cant at the moment [04:32] ubuxubu: pastebin. yes, we're serious [04:32] but thanks anyway [04:32] i cant right now [04:32] ubuxubu: why not? [04:32] pfifo, lawl... [04:32] ubuxubu, have you tried the mount command [04:32] cos my buddy is off the phone [04:32] Ashkin: Alright so it's not loading the module by default. To fix that, put 'ath5k' on a line by itself without tick marks in /etc/modules [04:33] Ashkin: Check it's working and such after reboot [04:33] its not my laptop [04:33] but ill have it here tomorrow [04:33] soreau: actually, i think updating to 10.10 did it; this is farther than i've gotten with hours of tedious fighting before [04:33] oscargot, contact you local EPA office and ask them where to dispose of it if it need special disposal, but in general, only the battery is hazardous [04:35] hello I am on an ubuntu 8.04 laptop and I have full connectivity to the net, however for some reason this machine cannot update / install packages using apt [04:35] http://pastie.org/1799622 [04:35] soreau: actually, i think updating to 10.10 did it; this is farther than i've gotten with hours of tedious fighting with drivers before [04:36] Ashkin: Does it work now? [04:36] bluethundr_: probably already end of life¿ [04:36] !eol| bluethundr_ [04:36] bluethundr_: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [04:37] 3 years for desktop LTS right? [04:37] pfifo: Yes [04:37] xangua: pfifo: ok so EOL means no way to use apt repos at all? or am i misinterpreting what you are letting me know? [04:37] soreau: looks like it does ^_^ [04:37] how long does it usually take to install ubuntu? My cpu has been stuck on the preparing to install screen for over 30 min. should i quit and start again or does is just take long? Btw should there be a satus bar? [04:37] Ashkin: Great! [04:38] How do we kill a prosess in ubuntu? [04:38] tor_, killall [04:38] you can use the system manager if you wish [04:38] oops sorry about the break guys [04:38] bluethundr_: your paste says it's intrepid, not hardy and yes; it already is !eol [04:38] or just kill [04:38] Ashkin: For future reference, upgrades can be problematic. I always recommend a clean install after backing up [04:38] tor_: ps -ef | grep what_you_look_for ; kill -15 pid_you_found [04:38] or kill -9 [04:38] tor_: "System Monitor" my bad [04:40] Caboose885: Thank you [04:40] bluethundr_, you might be able to find a working mirror someone setup, but you should probbally upggrade to atleast 10.04 [04:40] hello === michael is now known as Guest88229 [04:41] hi Guest88229 [04:41] hello [04:42] pfifo: ok I'll give it a shot tx [04:43] hello [04:43] hi [04:44] bye [04:44] is there any official ubuntu resource that provides guidance on which distribution to use with respect to processor speed and ram size ? [04:44] how long does it usually take to install ubuntu? My cpu has been stuck on the preparing to install screen for over 30 min. should i quit and start again or does is just take long? Btw should there be a satus bar? [04:45] afirocks are u installing from a CD ? [04:45] usb [04:45] onto netbook [04:46] afirocks, i THINK you can press alt+ctrl+F12 to get a log of the installer (and alt+ctrl+F7 to get back) [04:46] afirocks: i just installed the other day and didn't have anything like that. i'd just start over. [04:46] jumble #s? [04:46] kamran, no there isnt [04:46] lol [04:47] 2nd time already starting [04:47] I found a program I want to use but it says it depends on gdk-imlib11. I tried to get this through apt-get, but it says it is only referred to by other packages and is not available [04:47] goodnight all. Its past my bedtime here and I don't see much activity where I can help. :) [04:48] nn [04:49] afirocks, you cold try leaving it over night if all else fails [04:50] lol [04:50] i suppose... [04:50] or install via debootstrap/alternate iso [04:51] soreau: back. had to run for a few [04:51] Ashkin: Did you need some more help? [04:52] as for problematic updates... after updating, i can no longer run gedit from the command line. gives me a glib-gio error [04:52] hey guys, my Global menu bar (Applications, Places, System) have disappeared somehow in Maverick, see this screenshot http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/r3e2ixqf/Workspace1_016.png [04:52] * pfifo hugs his glibc6-dbg [04:53] i do have another question, but i don't think this is the right place to ask. [04:53] abhinav-, maybey try changing you font settings? [04:54] Ashkin, if its linux related, the channel is pretty dead [04:54] abhinav-: have you tried reseting the panels? [04:54] MaRk-I: no, how to do that ? [04:55] just starting it again.. lets see if that works... [04:55] !panels | abhinav- [04:55] abhinav-: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [04:55] Yesterday, my Vista install died. worked fine, then suddenly, HD access slowed to a crawl (on the order of up to 30 seconds per file) ; booting into Vista took 17 minutes. however, this ubuntu install on the same hd works fine. now vista bluescreens on boot. long story short, i need to repair the install (or do a scandisk on its partition) but i can't get into the os, and the recovery cd cannot find the install either. [04:55] ohhhh [04:55] !bottreat [04:56] !botsnack [04:56] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [04:56] MaRk-I: thanks. its restored now :) [04:56] !helpersnack [04:56] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [04:56] soreau, pfifo: Hello! It's working! I'm at netbook now! Also created courage to put a password at AP! ^^ [04:56] !opsnack [04:56] Chocolate! And Strawberries! And ICE CREAM! oOo! and 60 minutes +m! [04:56] abhinav-: yw [04:56] :) [04:56] saulo: What did you have to do? [04:57] Hi. Anyone here have tried emacs23 on natty beta 2? [04:57] !natty | Strav [04:57] Strav: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [04:57] Strav: #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion; #ubuntu is for released versions of Ubuntu [04:57] xangua: thanks, I'm on my way. [04:57] Ashkin, I have heard alot of complaints about ubuntu destroying the ability to use a rescuecd/system restore [04:58] so um. how do i manage to do a scandisk (or similar) on my (likely ntfs) vista partition? friend recommended fsck, but he was plastered, so :/ [04:58] pfito: yes. the recovery cd can't find the vista install (thinking its because of grub) [04:59] soreau, pfifo: to be honest, I don't know really, but was'nt at wireless exactily, something was wrong about the routes and DNS. Wasn't applying. When I saw your command output, I saw the wireless connection was working, but nothing anymore. But "magically" all is working now, I restarted the PC and no more problems :-S [04:59] Ashkin: You have to use windows utilities to check ntfs disks AFIAK [04:59] saulo: Hey, cool [04:59] askin: the command in linux you are looking for is called 'ntfsfix' [04:59] Anyone get the issue where you just get a black screen with a crosshair mouse in ubuntu 11.04? [04:59] Ashkin, my 1 and only response to anything windows related is format and reinstall, most people can manage to find a windows 7 cd somewhere [04:59] soreau: i can't get into windows. the only thing i can think of is reinstalling it, and I dont' want to do that. [05:00] elb0w_: #ubuntu+1 [05:00] can't you use e2fsck on an ntfs system? [05:00] yea i asked there no one replied [05:00] bob__: i haven't a clue. [05:01] bob__: no, this is for an ntfs partition [05:01] soreau, pfifo: really thanks for help [05:01] soreau: thank you <3 [05:01] saulo: No problem [05:01] saulo, glad you got it working [05:01] Ashkin: from linux side just do 'sudo ntfsfix /dev/[partition#]' [05:02] have a cookie, some strawberries, etc :P [05:02] soreau: You told about ntfs here. Then a question: what's the status of ntfsfix utility, what it can do for us? [05:02] if you don't know what partition it is, you can also do 'sudo fdisk -l | less' to see a list of partitions and their device names [05:02] saulo: I have no idea [05:03] soreau: lol, I found the answer :-S http://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsfix [05:04] does ubuntu have an official stance on deleting hidden recovery partitions or destroying rescue systems? asidde from the header of GNU GPL? [05:05] HyperShocK, Ashkin: Anyway, I think it's good take a look here about ntfsfix: http://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsfix [05:05] saulo: FWIW, you can do 'man ntfsfix' or any other program, most have man pages [05:07] saulo: thanks, I'll try that. [05:07] bsod on boot, though, so I have little faith ;x [05:07] * Ashkin has a Guinness in Irish`s honor ~ [05:07] Cheers! [05:08] Hey there, i got a kernel panic while installing packages (ran update-manager -d) on 10.10 upgrading to 11.04, now when i boot "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present" if i try to skip it says the same about /tmp and nothing happens [05:09] monkeyblah, sounds like you loding modules for a different kernel version [05:09] i tried going back a few kernels in grub but it made no difference, and in manual recover mode i can see my /home/user etc so it seems ok [05:09] pfifo: probably [05:09] when i boot up it says verifying dmi pool data then hangs. i can boot to lie cd though. how do i fix? [05:10] pfifo: any links you can point me to to fix? [05:10] i would boot a livecd, chroot and apt-get a linux-source [05:11] brb, attempting to reboot into vista ~ [05:11] * Ashkin cringes. [05:11] if you want to try it, the livecd customization guide has chroot instructions [05:11] aight ill give that a go [05:12] Anyone have any idea why Adobe Flash Player won't work in Wine/Firefox?

[05:24] quatch: /join #debian ¿ [05:24] so how do i boot? [05:24] no one seems to know in debian [05:24] quatch, reinstall from scratch, sounds like you messed it up [05:24] i tried twice [05:24] !grub2 [05:24] KINGOFSWORDS: next time you do dualboot, install windows first; now you will fave to fix grub [05:24] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [05:24] hrezaei1, np [05:24] i dont see what i could have messed up. i think my mbr has had grub written to it to many times [05:24] or something [05:25] and its confused lol [05:25] quatch: what do you mean, format your hd. your ubuntu and windows are both ereased ? [05:25] quatch, it sounds like you dont have grub at all, or its missing files [05:25] yeah i formated everything then tried to install debian [05:25] Tried to look for it, but couldn't find. Also searched for "flash". [05:25] hm well i installed debian with usb netinstall but i have a ubuntu 9.10 live cd [05:26] Hey man I just descovered aduinio man!! [05:26] can i fix it from that somehow? [05:26] xangu yeh thats y im looking for a tutorial..only installing win out of desparation [05:26] quatch, if you formated the whole drive it is gone [05:26] supyall [05:26] quatch: pfifo is write , try to install grub again [05:26] pfifo: there is no info.php file there,I can not create it via graphical interface, but I use sudo running vi... [05:27] shouldnt it have installed during the debian install though? [05:27] any routing god over here? [05:27] quatch: sorry, right ~ [05:27] tor: I saw it under sound and video - Adobe flash [05:27] if i run sudo grub-install from live it says error cannot find device for / [05:27] etienne: what's your question? [05:28] quatch: a simple way , chroot to you debian ,and dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc [05:28] no idea how to do that haha [05:28] hrezaei1, run this `gksudo gedit` to use gedit as root [05:29] hrezaei1, sounds like a graphical editor willl suit you better than vim [05:29] hmm maybe i should try supergrubdisc? [05:29] slakcphil: well I think it's very common. I have a sever with 2 ethernet adaptors [05:29] I think I'm pretty noob. Still looking for a Flash program to run in Wine/Firefox. The Adobe Flash I installed are stopping the prosess. (The prosess is freezing) [05:30] eth0 for the LAN [05:30] eth1 for direct access to internet [05:30] how about using firefox for linux and adobe plugin for linux tor_ [05:30] iptable masqueradeing howto [05:30] whats the diff? gksudo vs sudo? [05:30] !gksu | dd214 [05:30] dd214: 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) [05:31] tor_: open Windows Firefox, go to adobe's website download flash, install flash [05:31] gksudo is for gui apps, and pops up a password entry dialog [05:31] hey all [05:31] I want the server to access another machine on different subnet [05:31] got me a problem [05:31] hehehe [05:31] dd214, gksudo is for graphical apps [05:31] I use Firefox for Wine because it is FireFox Portable, where I got all my old stuff. New to Ubuntu/Linux. [05:31] i put ubuntu on my laptop in the regular partition and now i cant log back into vista...LOL [05:31] cant seem to get back into windows [05:32] is there a way to choose what os to load into? [05:32] get the vista disk [05:32] optidude: maybe you delete it¿ [05:32] and got o repair [05:32] why is it for graphical apps? I can still run a graphical app w/ sudo too. [05:32] etienne: are you using ufw? [05:32] I saved data to an ext4 partition, but when I mount it, it only shows lost+found folder with 2.7gb of 45gb used. How do I retrieve or restore the data? [05:32] dd214: how about you read what the bot said [05:32] hey guys, what's the preferred way to run Photoshop on Linux, is cxoffice still the recommended way [05:32] hey thanks tux91 [05:32] then its bootrec/ fixbootrec [05:32] dd214, yeah but you cant enter a password with sudo if you have no tty [05:33] then bootrec / tix mbr [05:33] kbrosnan: I installed flash from Adobe's website, but that made Firefox Portable unstable/freeze. Thinking about installing another Flash program. [05:33] !appdb | tdelam [05:33] i would preffer gimp or krita [05:33] tdelam: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [05:33] slakcphil: nope... I just set up ubuntu 10.10 server with the minimum [05:33] wine, excellent [05:34] etienne, i think you just need to add a second ip address to your internal interface to access the second subnet [05:35] etienne, you only need to add routing info if your trying to go from client to client [05:35] etienne: yeah it ships with ufw [05:35] pfifo: yep that's whay I tried with a route add ... [05:35] next question, is it possible to install Ubuntu with a USB stick or do I need a DVD or CD to burn it onto and then install from there [05:36] whatever you want to use tdelam [05:36] etienne, my support stops there, i only use oldschool iptables, no idea about the front ends [05:36] thnx all, from what I've read, more secure to run gksudo for GUI apps b/c its secure... [05:36] xangua: so it is possible to install from a usb? [05:36] yes tdelam [05:36] pfifo: hehehe no problem I'm only in command line [05:37] xangua: Oh, how? simply drag the iso onto my usb and boot from USB or do i need to do something special? [05:37] running wireshark.. but could not detect any NICs, so this is how that came up [05:37] slakcphil: ufw to restrict incoming but I think my pb may be more from the routing part [05:37] tor_: then use Linux Firefox and Flash, it will likely work better [05:37] and I'm a lame about routing [05:37] tdelam: ubuntu.com [05:37] good night [05:38] ok? [05:38] !usb | tdelam [05:38] tdelam: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:38] pfifo: my eth0 is on 192.168.0.50 and need to access a 192.168.2.20 machine [05:38] do I really need to add an IP on eth0 ? [05:38] tdelam: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download look at step 2 [05:39] your eth0 should have an ip address for both subnets, yes [05:39] pfifo: thanks it works. I've installed very things via internet on my ubuntu. vga drivers,mp3 plugins,lamp,and many others. Is there anyway avoiding re downloading them on another ubuntu?(else than aptoncd!) [05:40] ok thankjs [05:40] pfifo: somthing like aptonUSB?!! aptonHard?! [05:40] hrezaei1, it stores the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/ you could copy them to another machine of the same ubuntu version to save download time [05:41] pfifo: is it enough to just copynig them ? [05:42] etienne, if i was in you shoes, i would make the server the gateway for both subnets, give NAT to both of them to the inter net, and als NAT them to eachother [05:43] hrezaei1, yeah it will use them if they are there and the gpg sigs match [05:46] pfifo: I can not pase there anything! how to config graphical interface to run all commands with sudo?!! is it possible? [05:46] arghh pfifo... that's a high science for me :) [05:46] etienne, that sounds like lots of fun to me [05:47] pfifo: I understand [05:47] hello [05:47] pfifo: and desperate by the way heheheheh [05:47] I have ubuntu 10.10 I am trying to get my old intel extreme 82845g card to run 3d etc...Can anyone help [05:48] hrezaei1, try `sudo -s` to get a root shell [05:48] hrezaei1, then you wont need sudo [05:49] someybody know of irc client with spell checkingß [05:49] ? [05:49] etienne, and then install dhcpd and bind, add a wireless ap, and setup diskless nodes :D [05:49] under windows i know it exits one [05:49] I have ubuntu 10.10 I am trying to get my old intel extreme 82845g card to run 3d etc...Can anyone help [05:50] pfifo: I think it is for teminal. in terminal using sudo I can change permissions,copy files,rename,etc. but in desktop (gnome) I can not. [05:51] pfifo: Is there anyway to give gnome the root access? [05:51] hrezaei1, normally anything you do as root needs to be done on the command line, root dosent usually want a GUI [05:52] !root | hrezaei1 [05:52] hrezaei1: 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 [05:52] hey there, I've got a problem with my joystick/gamepad [05:52] no stupid bot that not wat i wanted [05:52] for some reason it's acting as a mouse [05:52] hi there. i'm trying to find a file on my ubuntu 10.10 box. i know the file must exist as a program is failing on a particular line of the file, yet, i cannot find it in GUI search, or using 'locate'. [05:52] any ideas how i might more rigourously try to locate the file? [05:52] visitor1: xchat does, dont know about other clients [05:52] I have ubuntu 10.10 I am trying to get my old intel extreme 82845g card to run 3d etc...Can anyone help [05:53] or I guess I should say, when I'm playing a game mouse events go on in the background [05:53] anyway to stop that? [05:53] seravitae: did you make sure to update the db for locate? [05:53] ` [05:53] hrezaei1, you can sudo passwd and set a password for the root account, then login to gnome as root, but ubuntu generally dose not like that === amir_ is now known as Guest26849 [05:54] hrezaei1, but thats honestly the first thing i do after i install [05:54] sam_: have you tried System> Preferences > Appearance enable effects? [05:54] actually I could probably figure it out on my own if I knew where the joystick was being configured [05:54] ie xorg.conf [05:54] Yes, it says something along the lines of 'can't enable effects' [05:54] I dont like every time I want to chmod a file or folder,going to terminal,cd to there and run it. just right click and... [05:54] ok, how to login gnome as root? [05:54] pfifo: when you you route... is that persistent? [05:55] but I have no idea where that is in maverick [05:55] or should I write the route somewhere ? [05:55] etienne, ehh, well i write my own initscript to setup iptables, not really sure in your case [05:55] Simath - nope, ill try that [05:56] I have found this web site but am not sure what I need to download http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ [05:56] When I try to install samba it says "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.", yet it's from the software center [05:56] Simath - updatedb && locate hal_evergreen.c && locate * | grep hal_evergreen all return nothing [05:57] sam_, why you need driver? [05:57] Yes [05:57] hrezaei1, on the command line type `sudo -l` then `passwd` it will prompt you to enter a password twice, then log out of gnome as a normal uswe and relog in as "root" using the password you set [05:57] I have installed ubuntu 10.10, but i dont have 3d functions [05:57] sam_: first you need to know which video card you have, and the problem on why compiz is not running [05:57] seems route makes persistent rules [05:58] Thanks pfifo [05:58] thank you all [05:58] etienne, good luck [05:58] MaRK-I, Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller [05:59] how do i install windwos after ubuntu dual boot?

[05:59] sam_, have you looked in /system/administration /hardware drivers [05:59] i have gparted do i need 2 do anything first b4 i install windows [05:59] KINGOFSWORDS, youll have to boot a livecd and rescue grub if you install windows AFTER installing ubuntu [06:00] KINGOFSWORDS, ya install windows first [06:00] pfifo do i do that after ive instlled windows thou? [06:00] hiexpo, yes it says 'no propriety drivers are in use in this system' [06:01] axxekorr, im conservative, i got the 800watt PSU instead of the 1000w [06:01] i have to use gparted to nfts sum space for windwos and copy the mbr 1st?

[06:02] sam_, bummer [06:02] But for some reason whenever I try and connect between these machines, using any protocol, the speed is terrible [06:02] KINGOFSWORDS, i reccommend first installing windows, then ubuntu, windows install ashould handle formatting ntfs for you, and ubuntu will install grub to dual boot automatically [06:02] hiexpo, does that mean ubuntu does not support my graphics controller? [06:03] For example, I try to scp a 700MB file between them, and it maxes out at 2MB/s with frequent stalls [06:03] but its too late i already have ubuntu [06:03] only want 2 install windwos for a game [06:03] Last night I was getting 50MB/s just fine :S [06:03] sam_, on sec what video card you have ? [06:03] All I've done in between is restart each machine [06:03] Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller [06:04] sam_, 1 minute [06:04] KINGOFSWORDS, then you will have to reinstall grub afterwards from the livecd you dont need to do anything special before hand [06:04] hiexpo, ok and thanks [06:04] Can anyone help me figure out why the connection is so poor? === Laggg is now known as LagggTrims [06:04] could i play game on virtual machine that doesnt play on wine?

[06:05] KINGOFSWORDS, gaming in linux is crap, all the vm's and wine are all crap, you really want windows to play windows games [06:05] I'm getting a dependency error I don't understand [06:06] Actually, I beg to differ - there is Playonlinux and Crossover Games for Linux... [06:06] ok so i just install windows and then follow guide to reinstall grub from livecd [06:06] when I try to install pokerth, ubuntu complains "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libboost-filesystem1.42.0 (>= 1.42.0-1)" [06:06] capital C [06:06] I too am having depencency problems [06:06] well does gta 4 work on playonlinuix? [06:07] it tells me to install different things and conflicts [06:07] I can't get my system to read encrypted dvds now that I installed 11.04 beta. I've installed all of the restricted extras.?? [06:07] KINGOFSWORDS, I don't play that - so I don't know. However, I'm more than happy playing my HL2 on both Playonlinux and Crossover Games [06:07] i think they got scripts for it [06:07] sam_, look at this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/intel-82845g-graphics-controller-352262/ [06:07] yeh but half life is old...i have san andreas in wine and thats fine [06:08] hiexpo, thanks [06:08] buzzomatic_: use iotop for a start. [06:08] IanWizard-Mobile, libdvdread [06:08] KINGOFSWORDS, i get a good 6 FPS in wine running MW2 at lowest settings, and I have an awesome GTS250 nvidia, get over 60FPS on windows [06:08] on dual boot can i use files on both os or is the hdd space separated? [06:08] is there a good podcast & media subscription client similar to itunes but for us linux users [06:09] lwizardl: Banshee [06:09] yea they have itunes [06:09] !ipod [06:09] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [06:09] or do i have to set aside some space for windows stuff [06:09] hiexpo, I have it, still, nothing. thoggen, k3b, totem, nothong works [06:09] bullgard4, I thought banshee was a media player not a content downloader [06:10] KINGOFSWORDS, starcraft 2 is pretty slow too, WoW is fine, GTA4 didnt run at all [06:10] oh wait, i remember a script that I had to run last time to actually download and install it. [06:10] IanWizard-Mobile, do you have the medibuntu repos installed [06:10] nah [06:10] lwizardl: " Banshee is an media management and playback application for the GNOME desktop, allowing users to import audio from CDs, search their library, create playlists of selections of their library, sync music to/from iPods and other media devices, play and manage video files and burn selections to a CD." [06:10] hiexpo, no, but I have all of the defaults enabled, multi/uni verse [06:10] how much space should i partition in gparted for windows 7? i want14gb for gta 4 [06:11] IanWizard-Mobile, try adding the mediabuntu repos > probally missing codecs [06:12] mail [06:12] KINGOFSWORDS, windows 7 wants 16gb and if your game needs 14gb then 30gb asll together, maybe a bit more for drivers and such [06:12] bullgard4, ok then that program does not answer the question. since that is a player & not a subscription type service [06:12] I keep finding stuff like gpodder and juice but none of them seem to find many feeds/shows/etc [06:12] game is on ubuntu hdd already can i install it from that? [06:13] KINGOFSWORDS, you can get ext2 file system drives for windows 7 and access you entire linux partiton, install games there and everything [06:14] oh so i only need to partition 16gb for the windows install then? [06:14] its upto you, but ext2 drivers are one of your options [06:15] its ext 3 [06:15] for mine [06:15] I have a piece of software that ends up having more than one dependency but when I backtrack to them, it ends up with conflicting dependencies [06:15] my windows drivers do both ext2 and 3 but not 4 [06:16] do i partion ext2 in gparted? [06:17] KINGOFSWORDS, ubuntu is already installed do its too late to format, you probbally have ext3 [06:17] i thought i needed fat or ntfs? === LagggTrims is now known as LagggSmox [06:17] Not a huge concern, but is there any way to have the "close/minimize/fullscreen" buttons on applications in Ubuntu show up on the right hand side instead of the left? [06:17] windows needs ntfs, ubuntu needs ext2/3/4 or maybey a few others are ok too [06:18] amybunny, yes [06:18] !controls | amybunny [06:18] amybunny: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[06:22] anyone got any ideas why, or any thoughts on troubleshooting this?

[06:23] mordof, i use mplayer and it works fine [06:23] wow an old ver son [06:23] verosn [06:23] pfifo: yeah, just downloading that now to see if it's just a glitch with totem, or my OS [06:24] 8.04 [06:24] anyone can teach me how to use filezilla to transfer file thru sftp [06:24] mordof, ubuntu-restricted-extras and mplayer are all i need, have had alot of luck with vlc too [06:24] YankDownUnder: honestly the server belong to my friend he gave me for renting it and he neva want to install the php tp help the situation [06:25] larious, If he didn't give a root password, or sudo access, then you'll have to reset the root password (or create one) [06:26] without the root password its not really your server. [06:26] pfifo: never liked vlc when i was in windows [06:26] pfifo: though at that time media player classic was the better alternative [06:26] enter F12 but can't find usb [06:27] mordof, its pretty much exactly the same in linux so you probbally still wont like it [06:27] YankDownUnder: how do i create one? [06:27] larious, Can you use "sudo" on that machine? [06:27] dont think so [06:27] let me check [06:28] pfifo: gnome mplayer seems to be working reliably.. [06:29] is there anyway to wipe ubuntu but keep media files for use in windows? [06:29] YankDownUnder: sudo what? [06:29] larious, What you can do is: sudo passwd => enter new password for root [06:30] join #computerbank [06:31] pfifo: yep, i guess it was just totem being stupid [06:31] YankDownUnder: user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [06:31] Is there a conservative chat room??? [06:31] mordof, i dont really like totem or gstreamer, codec problems [06:31] YankDownUnder: user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [06:32] larious, Then you'll have to "recover" the root password with a liveCD [06:32] hi [06:32] how to export files from labyrith mind mapping tool? or where does it stores files? [06:32] help?

[06:36] hey can someone recommend a good NES emulator for Lubuntu w/ a GUI? [06:36] I just go to the vino store and make sure I have enough money - that generally secures it. [06:37] YankDownUnder: Oh, but of course, money makes the world go 'round, anyways [06:38] But I mean Vino, the VNC server >.> === jackneill is now known as Jackneill [06:38] I'd read the docs on the VNC homepage or the Vino Server docs [06:39] hey [06:39] Hello [06:39] anyone hyere uses freemind, semantik? [06:39] Egh, docs.. [06:40] I had Ubuntu 10.10 dual booting with windows 7. I reformated and used unetbootin to install debian 6 x64 all inside of one partiton. Now when I boot up it says Verifying DMI pool data....then just hangs. It will let me boot with a ubuntu 9.10 live cd, but I dont have a debian live cd. If I run sudo grub-update from live it tells me error: could not find device path for /. What to do? [06:41] I have never used this thing before and came on jsut in case anyone knew how to make a web cam work with skype. Please forgive me if I have the ettiquest wrong. If there is a correct way to ask questions please could someone tell me. [06:41] lifeform: Yep, the best way to ask a question is to just ask :) [06:41] How do you edit a folder appearance, like how the downloads folder has the little icon? [06:41] quatch: Have you tried reinstalling debian onto that partition? [06:42] Thank you flannel [06:42] yes and when i boot it does the hang and wont boot up [06:42] i reformated installed debian and now it says veifying dmi pool data [06:42] ive tried te [06:42] twice [06:42] quick question, do you feel that ubuntu runs well with ati or nvidia? [06:43] I'm at maverick installation screen where i have option to download updates while installing. is it better to tick this or update after installation? [06:43] Guest43936: you mean secure as in asking for password or secure as in encrypting the connection? [06:43] keidori: i prefer nvidia over ati for ubuntu [06:43] To Quatch, it could be the differant grub loaders that you need to look at between the versions you used grub changed from legasy to 2 [06:43] How do you edit your folders in ubuntu, like how your music foldr has a music icon? [06:44] mordof: and why is that? [06:44] keidori: last time i tried ati - the drivers weren't really that good.. nvidia's drivers have been much better for me [06:44] It runs ok with nvidea [06:44] quatch, i like debian and all, but its not quite as usr friendly as ubuntu, you should really consider ubuntu over debian until you got the hang of things. [06:44] keidori: the nvidia driver GUI panel covered dual monitor config and whatnot perfectly [06:44] keidori: though that may also be because my ati card was legacy [06:44] mordof: ahhh I see I hear that ati works better, but thats why I ask [06:44] * mordof shrugs [06:45] so should i just try to install ubuntu? [06:45] should I tick the option to update while installing or update after ubuntu installation? [06:45] keidori: i'm having no problems at all with my card. [06:45] or am i gonna have the same problem with mbr? [06:45] I'm running a ati 5770 and its ok, but Im having some issues with 1080p videos [06:45] keidori: gtx 460 1gb, so i would hope not.. originally got it for gaming and then decided to ditch windows, lol [06:45] hmm.. [06:45] and on a card like this I wouldn't think so [06:45] i don't have any 1080p videos to test i don't think *checks* [06:45] quatch, you should install the cd you have for ubuntu to atleast get a working OS [06:46] HTCPX: do it later for fast installation [06:46] mordof: same thing, I was gaming but I got bored and switched to ubuntu [06:46] You could try running from the live cd then going to update drivers ( obviously you don't ) that would at least show if a driver is available. [06:46] if i install 9.10 wil lbe able to update to 10.10 without a dvd? [06:46] hmmmm [06:46] quatch, you can [06:47] what is the easiest way to uninstall ubuntu and re-install in different partition :-) [06:47] just do it like normally updating? [06:47] Technically yes but on the forums the general thought are that a clean install is far better than an upgrade. [06:47] MaRk-I: I know Vino can be set up with a password, so yeah, I mean encrypting the connection [06:47] well i dont have any blank dvds but i can install 10.10 with usb? [06:47] i cant get back into my vista install on my laptop...hehehe [06:48] idk how thats viewed compared to dvd install [06:48] quatch: got any cd-r's? [06:48] thanks bro [06:48] no :[ [06:48] Or if you want to reduce fiddleing to a minimum you could go for 10.04lts. Very stable. [06:48] should i put in my vista cd and reboot [06:48] hmmmm [06:48] whats 10.04lts? [06:48] quatch: awww $#%# well try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [06:48] Guest43936: through SSH http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:All#Remote_Access [06:49] whats fstab?

[07:03] Laggg, your link doesn't work [07:03] spel3o, i'd like to know too. you can prob google for that though [07:03] hrezaei1, if there isnt a package for the driver in your cache, you can always get the drive directly from ati website, installing it properly is a diferent story, alot of poeple have trouble getting it to work even installing it with the ubuntu package [07:03] fisix: is it a terrorist?! is dev/null a prison?! [07:03] fisix: http://bit.ly/fijj0Y [07:03] wow, just ran into a snag...cant watch some shows on xfinity with ubuntu...bummer :-( [07:03] how do i install this icon set? http://bit.ly/fijj0Y [07:03] fisix, I've been looking around for a solution, none so far [07:03] ly/fijj0Y [07:03] hmmmm flash seems a little weird too [07:04] got some artifacts in most vids [07:04] spel3o, lolwat https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrcServer [07:04] where are the network logs stored on ubuntu?

[07:05] fisix, checked that one out, that's the one I've been going off of, still no avail, thanks though [07:05] hrezaei1, now featuring terrorists ^^ [07:05] spel3o, lol what exactly is going wrong :S? [07:06] hrezaei1, it would be something like xorg-server-ati.deb or similiar [07:07] fisix, haha, I'm trying to find out.. I need to find out where the logs are, and maybe uncomment some log options in the ircd conf file [07:07] pfifo: no ati, no amd,no xorg liked pks is there! [07:07] But it was working PERFECTLY before, I did a restart without changing anything, and now the daemon won't start. So it had to be something that was modified on startup [07:08] hrezaei1, its not that big of a deal if its missing, the point of copying these files are to save time downloading on another machine, they have a shelf life and should not be kept around for more than a few weeks [07:08] spel3o, ahh good luck with that! :D [07:10] fisix, time to go surf the log files upon log files.. lol. Or just use a new irc program [07:11] I am looking for help with setting up Ubuntu server. Am I on the right channel? [07:11] Sure, what do you need help with? [07:12] pfifo: :-( Ok!

[08:27] tor_: Then yes, a virtual machine is the way to go. I have an XP virtual machine on my system, personally. [08:27] Pip: it might give you a hint [08:27] okay [08:27] Pip: Doesn't work that way. Stop spouting rabble. [08:27] Starminn, What doesn't work ? [08:28] hi [08:28] Windows 7 in Wine? [08:28] tor_, I don't think windows 7 works in wine [08:28] Pip: Windows 7 and wine works fine for me... [08:28] i'm doing "grep -E template < file" and got "Binary file (standard input) matches", whats wrong? [08:29] Trying Virtualbox [08:29] Ah [08:29] I thought somebody wants to run windows 7 on wine [08:29] How do you run Win 7 in Wine? [08:29] Pip: sorry, vbox and win7 works fine... [08:29] tor_: you can't [08:29] tor_, I don't think you can [08:30] tor_, wine is not a virtual machine [08:30] Pip: watch the updates though... they can break it, as far as windows geniune... lalala [08:30] ain't gotta clue? [08:31] i fixed it! [08:32] anyone know a partition tool for winxp that I can run in winxp with full functionality for deleting partitions? [08:32] amybunny, Partition Magic [08:32] Pip, thats not for Windows is it? [08:32] It IS [08:33] With Partition Magic, you can divide your C:\ into parts on the fly [08:33] amybunny: what are you trying to do? [08:34] amybunny, google "Easus Partition Master"... it's a good windows tool [08:34] amybunny, You are on ubuntu, why can do anything on linux [08:34] partition magic demo tool would let me delete the partitions but not commit the changes [08:34] amybunny, Why did you use demo ? [08:34] amybunny, wait, what exactly do you want to do ? [08:34] hhh/exit [08:34] hhh/exit [08:34] I said you can get anything done on Linux [08:35] last attempt [08:35] amybunny: are you trying to delete a linux partition in windows? [08:35] greppy, Oh, no :S [08:35] pip: the system has 2 linux partitions on it currently. The Ubuntu installation disc's partition tool does not allow you to delete the partition and then install alongside an existing OS. [08:35] I would assume she wants to extend linux world [08:35] gparted is good too [08:35] amybunny, sure it does, i do it all the time [08:36] Pip: by assuming instead of asking what people are trying to accomplish, you'll end up making mistakes :) [08:36] ok, lets give it a try, and I'll ask when it starts borking [08:36] amybunny, You can't delete a partition that is mounted [08:37] I mean being mounted [08:37] amybunny, get to the partition stage.. and i'll tell you how to do it... make sure all your partitions are unmounted, etc [08:37] this is straight off the installation disc, so it shouldn't be mounted? [08:38] amybunny, ok.. as long as they aren't mounted [08:38] amybunny, there is a tool for linux which is almost as powerful as PM [08:38] GParted [08:38] im a bit more familiar with fdisk/cfdisk [08:38] :D [08:38] amybunny, GParted is totally "what you see is what you will get" [08:39] ah, that's the one with the moveable bar for partition size, right? [08:39] Yes [08:39] included with the Ubuntu installation disc [08:39] Is there a new system for starting and stopping services, that replaces sysvinit I think? [08:39] pretty much, but if you want to delete an old ubuntu install, and install a new one, then you don't want to use the "auto" partition tool [08:40] psay yeah, that's what I need to do. delete an old/mistaken ubuntu install [08:40] i was a bit tired when doing the first installation and grabbed the desktop disc instead of the netbook disc. [08:40] amybunny, ok.. thats really not difficult at all. [08:40] hm, I thought the partitioner in the install was gparted? [08:41] plop all [08:41] without deleting the whole drive (because of the windows OS that is installed that I want to keep installed alongside it) [08:41] Im helping my cousin get acquainted with linux, I thought Ubuntu would be a good first distro for him [08:41] amybunny, right.. it really should be a piece of cake [08:41] *nods* [08:41] are you on the live cd now? [08:42] the install disk is booting up now, It should be pretty easy. [08:42] ok [08:42] hi all [08:42] hey zpix [08:42] I compiled 2.6.38 kernel on ubuntu 10.10 but with this kernel i can't boot [08:42] I have a problem with /home/¬/ICEauthority. Someone told me to get a recovery console during boot to do chown user.user /home/user/ICEauthority. How do I get a recovery console? My system doesn't give me a choice of kernels, recovery, etc [08:42] amybunny: hi :) [08:42] Hello, I am trying to make a grub boot floppy with my current grub configuration and the instructions on the grub how-to are failing me [08:43] I installed mysql-server, and apt asked me to type "Yes, do as I say!" which I knew was a bad idea, but I did it anyway [08:43] surprise, now my system doesn't boot [08:43] ok, so try or install [08:43] I remember it installing a package that conflicted with sysvinit, or something [08:43] i'll choose install, right? [08:43] but I can't remember what it was called [08:43] amybunny, Install what ? [08:43] now that I'm chrooted in to the system, I can't figure out what to uninstall [08:43] Ubuntu, from the booted Ubuntu disc I have in, [08:44] amybunny, yes, choose install, answer the mickey mouse questions till you get to the partition stage, then lemme know when you're there [08:44] amybunny, You are on Live CD or something ? [08:44] Hmm [08:44] I compiled 2.6.38 kernel on ubuntu 10.10 but with this kernel i can't boot, any idea? [08:44] Zpix: what about usefull infos? [08:44] Zpix, what do you mean by "can't boot" ? [08:44] I wonder if I can get my cousin using vim too :D [08:45] amybunny, lol.. let him crawl before he starts training for a marathon [08:45] Pip: when I wanna boot with this kernel after 4 sec the computer will be shut down [08:45] OpenOffice -> or ...emacs? [08:45] Zpix, How did you compile the kernel ? [08:45] Libre Office.. :) [08:45] Ah yes! it was called upstart [08:46] upstart totally screwed my system [08:46] i mistakenly erased one partition of my raid 1 [08:46] amybunny, They are totally different two things [08:46] now i am trying to use mdadm to correct this [08:46] is assemble the mode i need? [08:46] like mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda3? [08:46] or create? [08:46] aliverius: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:46] ok, so install alongside other OSes or specify partitions manually? [08:46] amybunny, manually [08:47] then just highlight and delete the offending partitions? [08:47] amybunny, well, what are your current partitions [08:47] halp [08:47] my phone wont charge [08:47] iphone [08:47] ChronicSyncope: #iphone [08:47] Pip: I downloaded latest kernel from kernel.org then I extracted the folder, first command was: sudo make bzimage then: make xconfig and then make moudles and moudles-instal and then make install [08:47] lol [08:47] sda1(winxp) sda5(ext4) sda6(swap) [08:47] really iceroot do you think they can help me with ubuntu [08:47] they're probably a bunch of macholes [08:48] Zpix, OMG :D [08:48] ok... so really all you need to delete, is sda5.. .is its mount point / ? [08:48] Hello, I am trying to make a grub boot floppy with my current grub configuration and the instructions on the grub how-to are failing me. [08:48] !ot | ChronicSyncope [08:48] ChronicSyncope: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [08:48] Pip: what :D [08:48] ChronicSyncope: i dont know, this is ubuntu support and not the support channel for a strange mobile phone from a very strange company [08:48] let me rephrase that then [08:48] Zpix, That's not how it's done [08:48] it showed no mount point. [08:48] my iphone wont charge IN UBUNTU [08:48] can anyone tell me where the channel on MUTE is [08:48] well thats interesting.. and there wer no other partitions, just those 3? [08:48] ChronicSyncope: does it charge if you boot another OS on the same PC? [08:48] yes [08:48] interesting. [08:48] Pip: oh! :D I found this from net [08:48] Zpix, You need to configure it before compilation really starts [08:48] but in ubuntu [08:48] it gives me the yellow triangle [08:48] ChronicSyncope: try unmounting it but keeping it in [08:49] yup, all were listed under /dev/sda [08:49] Pip: how? [08:49] WaltherFI, good idea! [08:49] i bet that will work [08:49] ChronicSyncope: that's what i do with my kindle 3g [08:49] amybunny, ok.. how big is your swap [08:49] thanks [08:49] Zpix, Since you know almost nothing about this dirty job, why bother ? [08:49] ChronicSyncope: right click, eject [08:49] yeah it was working until i installed the iphone utils... [08:49] so, I'll select 'delete' for the two linux partitions and start fresh with 'free space'? [08:49] WaltherFI, thanks i can eject my devices xD [08:49] Zpix, Don't do it, just go with the stock kernel [08:49] about 1.5Gb [08:49] amybunny, if the swap space is an acceptable size, you really dn't hav to delete that [08:49] amybunny, how much physical ram on that system? [08:49] Pip: hmmmmmmm so I can find DEB files for this [08:49] ChronicSyncope: just to make sure - better to be too helpful than not enough [08:49] Zpix, It will take a week to tell you how to compile a kernel correctly [08:50] WaltherFI, i just hadn't thought about that solution, but since it started happening after i tried installing some iphone utils [08:50] that will probably fix it [08:50] Pip: =)) [08:50] Pip: so I prefer to go and search about it to know [08:50] ok, after deleting the main partition, "add" it from free space? [08:50] ok. [08:51] Zpix, Let me give you a hint if you are really addicted into this [08:51] Pip: :* [08:51] Zpix, there is a book called [08:51] amy.. this i what you want... "Primary" "Beginning" (max out the size), "ext4 journalizing filesystem" and then mount point is " / " and thats it. [08:51] Pip: oh good [08:51] KM0201, logical/38323mb/beginning/ext4// [08:51] amybunny, see above. [08:51] * amybunny nods [08:51] ok.. logical works fine to. [08:51] Don't be scared, it's a small book, easy to read Zpix [08:52] now, click OK, and that should take you back to the main screen [08:52] * KM0201 never uses logical partitions [08:52] amybunny, back at the main screen after you've saved chose changes, click the "Format" button, and then click Install, and continue w/ the process [08:53] Pip: sorry say again [08:53] Zpix, The book is very think [08:53] *thin [08:53] Pip: please say the name again :P [08:53] at the main screen, there is no save, just quit, back, install now [08:53] right, click install now [08:54] Zpix: another option if you really want to learn more is: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [08:54] Zpix, [08:54] System > Preferences > Startup Applications shows 20 applications asserted. Why does ~/.config/autostart list only 7? [08:54] no wrong [08:54] Zpix, [08:54] is seems my /dev/sdb3 was the special grub boot partition [08:54] Zpix, You can download it from Internet [08:54] but how do i restore it [08:54] thanks, it's formatting now, I just wanted to make sure it didn't deep6 the winxp partition in the process. [08:55] Zpix, You can read it all within one day [08:55] Pip: thanks a lot [08:55] amybunny, it shouldn't, as long as you didn't touch it [08:55] I was very careful not to :) [08:55] I get this error when try to connect via ssh "/etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 55: Bad configuration option: PermitRootLogin [08:55] " [08:56] oh well [08:56] Zpix, It's like you just bought a Ferrari, and wants to figure out the engine [08:56] *wanting [08:56] Pip: :D [08:56] Pip: I will do that :P [08:57] yet another attempt [08:58] numberto: disable the root login in ssh config file [08:58] goes wanting [08:58] what was bounder trying to do?

[09:00] TexasSam, :D [09:00] KM0201, hmm, it asked me a few quick setup questions, which i answered but now it's loaded me into a somewhat unresponsive desktop (leftclick wireless icon+select ID= no result/connection) [09:00] ohsix, Everybody can be here in the Matrix [09:00] amybunny, that doesn't make any sense [09:00] yeah, i kind of agree.

[09:38] Dr_Willis: '~$ find / -name 'auto run dir' 2>/dev/null' does not produce any output. [09:38] raven, do you just get a basic text login screen? [09:38] Seven_Six_Two, i have no gui when i start the system on its own and also if i put in the start system from usb pen and select "try" - no gui [09:38] mina: virtualbox has a very good manual at its homepage [09:38] Seven_Six_Two, right [09:38] how to get the iso image?

[09:45] were i ll found files? [09:45] Sonysapien: that is not helpful [09:45] Pip , that tool made suspend and hybernate disappear [09:45] tuhin: there is a widget you can add to your gnome-panel by right clicking [09:46] CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor ? [09:46] tuhin: allows you to dynamically over- and underclock [09:46] it lets me to set minimum 1Ghz (half of full 2ghz) cpu [09:46] cpufreq [09:46] but i have seen winxp go much less than 1Ghz [09:47] tuhin: you could try other kernels then [09:47] tuhin: also, BIOS/CMOS [09:47] using .35 kernel [09:47] Im not sure it lets you over [09:47] clock [09:47] i want to downclock [09:48] tuhin: cpufreq like Pip said [09:48] when i going to delete a logical volume it is saying that cannoy remove open logical volume.help why it is happening? [09:48] "notebook hardware control" in windows lets throttle down as less as 120 Mhz [09:48] jiltdil: is that filesystem unmounted? [09:48] tuhin: i'm not sure if that is safe anymore [09:48] Dr_willis:no [09:49] tuhin: also, might not go that down in reality [09:49] Its his lap top lol [09:49] Dr_willis:sorry i have to unmount this [09:49] raven, ok, can you pastebin your /etc/xorg.conf please [09:49] jiltdil: i always do partioning tasks from a Live cd that has Gparted on it. Makes things easier [09:49] well i ran it down to 400mhz and worked fine with most things [09:49] Seven_Six_Two: Just the fact it is his laptop doesn't mean that i shouldn't warn about something potentially harmful. [09:49] whoops [09:50] Sonysapien: ^ [09:50] Aye me [09:50] those who have windows, give "notebook hardware control" a try [09:50] where does kernel developers frequent? === _human_blip_ is now known as human_blip [09:50] they need to see the features that software have [09:51] what does it mean when a dir appears as green on the terminal? [09:51] so tat they can implement in linux [09:51] WaltherFI, oh good. I thought I was very confused ;) [09:51] Windows does have the advantage of the HW makers actually writing drivers/support for their specific hardware :) vs. Linux reverse Devs having to reverse engineere everithing. [09:52] intel have v good linux support i hear [09:52] its speedstep tech [09:52] RE is better anyway. You get the full truth ;-) [09:52] Intel has had its issues in the past also. But they are all getting better.. [09:52] which lets set a much lower internal clock than external=saves power= cool [09:53] Dr_Willis: ok in fact working fine now ! for i in *.JPG; do convert -resize 35% $i "converted_$i" done but it s not case sensitive is there any parameter to add so the script handls JPGand jpg files ? [09:53] Dr_Willis: try that software i said , we need a GUI like that [09:53] intick: Filenames in Linxu are case senestive.. so i would suggest converting all image files to a proper .jpg extension not some .JpG or other weirdness [09:54] intick: you could use regular expressions to glob them all.. somehow :) [09:54] i have cpufrequtils instaled [09:54] intick: for blah in *.jpg *.JPG; do will work [09:54] how do i config it? [09:55] tuhin: right-click the desired panel, select +Add to Panel look for "cpu frequency scaling monitor" click add [09:56] i already have CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.30.0 added in my panel [09:56] the lowest it goes is 1Ghz [09:56] i have it set at powersave [09:56] i installed ubuntu 10.04.2 on my old PC, installed every update, cheked the hardware drivers thingy, it didnt find anything usefull related to my screendriver, installed Adobe's flash player, and youtube videos at 360 lag like F*. it used to be able to play them fullscreen without problem. how can i fix this on ubuntu? (, it used to have XP); i dont have time to check anything now, g2g, but i will read replys and continue later [09:57] I wondwer if 1ghz is the max or the min. it lets the cpu go to.. [09:57] tuhin: If you have some Linux experience you could have a look here. Undervolting helps me to save battery life and also keeps the fan more quiet. http://openmindedbrain.info/26/10/2010/undervolting-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick/ [09:58] ok , any util to throttle down ati gfx chip? [09:58] the gfx chip runs warmer than cpu [09:58] new to ubuntu - how do I connect to a network share? I could just type the share under 'Win + R' under windows (of type \\abcd\xyz) [09:59] I tried to do 'Places -> Connect to server', but it didnt work out :( [09:59] Hi everyone. If I install LVM on top of RAID, say level 1. Would failure of one mirror (2 drives) crash the entire LVM array? [09:59] StackUnderFlow: smb://server/sharename (or use ip#) should work also.. or check thenetwork location under the menus [09:59] Dr_Willis: it does not work .. how should i separate the extension ? i did this for exemple and it does convert only JPG not the rest of extension [09:59] Dr_Willis: for i in *.JPG *.JPEG; [09:59] StackUnderFlow: you may need to instll some samba psakcagea [10:00] intick: 'regular expressions' and bash file globbing. Check the Bash Scripting guide. Id have to go look it up to tell you. :) [10:00] !abs [10:00] Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [10:00] Dr_Willis: ok thx a lot anyway i think this will be easy to solve ^^ [10:01] Dr_Willis: have a good day mate [10:01] intick: regular expressions make sch thing seasy to do.. once you understand them [10:01] Dr_Willis: yep i'll thx :) [10:01] personally i would rename the files first... [10:01] ABS === debd is now known as damno [10:01] I just had a cs exams with a lot of regex. They make my brain go crazy [10:02] Seven_Six_Two: they can be so handy :) [10:02] hey guys - really need a lil help. My bios see's all 4 SATA HDD's, but Ubuntu doesn't see the 4th one. Any ideas? [10:03] yeah. they're like that tool in the army knife that once you figure out what it's for, you use it all the time [10:03] morgan, What does the disk utility tell you? Or what does gParted tell you? [10:04] what is chanserv ? [10:04] anyone? [10:04] damno: Ask in #freenode [10:04] damno: a irc freenode service bot. [10:04] !chanserv [10:04] damno, the system that allows for channel maintenance by ops [10:05] Dr_Willis: and what is ubbotu? [10:05] or ubottu? [10:05] damno, an info bot for this channel [10:05] damno, its a bot [10:05] i using and old pc with a p4 2.5 ddr1 192mb has xp but its choking , need a bootable harddrive os [10:05] damno, do you have any actual ubuntu support questions? [10:06] люди помогите пожалуйста в строенном irc клиенте захожу в комнату убунту а там нет списка пользоватаелй будто ятам один [10:06] that is his ? , [10:06] bazhang: not really [10:06] oldtimer, you could try xubuntu [10:06] agaron, #ubuntu-ru please [10:06] oldtimer: Huh? Lubuntu perhaps may ork well on that old a machine. but more ram would help a lot. [10:06] damno, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [10:06] im trying to sell it [10:07] oldtimer: I hope you are not asking a lot for it.. [10:07] oldtimer, puppy linux [10:07] bazhang: that channel seems dead, mate [10:07] oldtimer: u can gey TinyXP rev11 , it will work fine with192 MB ram [10:07] damno, you're not in it [10:07] just tryin to pay bills [10:07] oldtimer: Most people will proberly be wanting windows of some kind. Theres other minimal linux disrots that can work. [10:08] TinyXP rev11? whats that ? ask bot too [10:08] oldtimer: tinyxp is not exactly 'legal' or related to Ubuntu support. :) [10:09] So i would say check it out on google. [10:09] thats a tweaked winxp , boots with 80MB ram [10:09] i m owner of laptop which had winxp by maker, its legal for me to get winxp, same is the case for oldtimer [10:10] can anyone tell me why this computer's screen keeps flashing black, running ub10.04 uptodate with a radeon 9550, its some kind of software refresh. but it keeps happening. and i want to know if it can be fixed cause its fairly annoying, and shouldnt be happening so far as i understand. [10:10] puppy linux is about 80mb too [10:10] tuhin: Microsoft's lwayers may disagree with that argument.. in any case. its not Ubuntu support related. [10:11] hi guys! [10:11] but i need it to a main steam like suport like ubuntu , this guy at bestbuy said exectly ubuntu core of something command line install then install gui/ ice [10:11] bazhang: but i have a question about mount points. I want all my partitions mounted at boot. what's the best way? editing fstab? [10:11] damno: yes [10:11] i can t listen to my music on deezer: there s no sound. i use 64 bits, chromium or firefox, same problem: i have sound in the system, [10:12] oldtimer: try Lubuntu or Debian LXDE 6.01 [10:12] !fstab > damno [10:12] damno, please see my private message [10:12] can play songs, videos, etc. but deezer has no sound... [10:13] Seven_Six_Two, sry i am back did you wrote anything? [10:14] greppy: how about the mount points?do i need to create separete dirs for that or will it be automatically created? [10:14] oldtimer, there are lighter versions of most programs using a vanilla ubuntu install. xfce, dillo etc [10:14] lubuntu frezzes [10:14] damno: in most cases you make them first [10:14] damno: you need to create the mount points. [10:14] a what ? [10:15] anyone know why x11 flashes black like some kind of whole screen refresh, sometimes it pauses a good sec too, until the image returns. defo software not hw [10:15] raven, I did, but I'm going to have to go to bed soon. Your system is complaining about not having a display to run on (xorg.conf issue) [10:15] vanilla ubuntu install. xfce ? is what ? [10:15] greppy: ok. thanks. [10:15] quite annoying, and the only prob im having with ub1004 [10:15] oldtimer: try Linux Mint LXDE or Debian LXDE [10:15] you guys see that slashdot article on unity... ouch! [10:15] !info xfce | oldtimer [10:15] oldtimer: Package xfce does not exist in maverick [10:16] !ot > ejv [10:16] ejv, please see my private message [10:16] Seven_Six_Two, but there was a display connected at install and as i said also if i select try ubuntu with the startdisk it is not working with gui [10:16] LXDE is lighter and faster than xfce [10:16] raven, not a physical display. A setting for xorg. [10:16] !info xfce4 | oldtimer [10:16] oldtimer: xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional.

[10:18] 有人么？ [10:19] I cant read that language... [10:19] Dr_Willis, doc you and you friend fixed this old timer up good , ill be back for a check up [10:19] which channel is about private packaging? [10:19] 有人看中文么？ [10:19] oldtimer: you dont have it working yet... :) [10:20] OMG [10:20] !cn | Guest77608 [10:20] Guest77608: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [10:20] !cn | Guest77608 [10:20] oldtimer: Puppy Linux may be better for that low ram system. but they got their own channel. [10:20] anyone is there a ubuntu ppa channel? [10:20] 你好，你需要什么？ [10:20] raven, about the only thing I could suggest (that doesn't involve a lot of reading of your part) is backing up your xorg.conf and running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [10:20] i can t listen to my music on deezer: there s no sound. i use 64 bits, chromium or firefox, same problem: i have sound in the system, [10:21] 有中国人了？ [10:21] !cn [10:21] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [10:21] raven, if that doesn't help at all, undo the changes (restore backed up config) [10:21] YankDownUnder, I think that's korean, not chinese [10:22] Seven_Six_Two, I know Korean, that's Chinese. [10:22] Hi all - is there a way in Ubuntu 10.10 to lock an application so that it always starts on a specific Workspace? === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [10:22] YankDownUnder, oh yeah. I actually see some matching chars. I take it back. [10:23] Seven_Six_Two, Mate, here in Sydney, we're quite adept at picking literally every Asian language...well, most of us... [10:24] i wanna go to sydney [10:24] YankDownUnder: Seven_Six_Two, pylix, lets try keep on topic :) [10:24] YankDownUnder, hey, in canada, we can defintely tell you that an asian language is asian. sometimes.. jussi of course [10:25] you are free to use #ubuntu-offtopic if you would like to :) [10:25] Seven_Six_Two, :) (I was raised in Detroit) [10:25] but remember i need something like sowhat of "ms" jsut to do the teenage things (USA)at most [10:25] pylix: Seven_Six_Two you bring this channel a little human touch :) [10:25] oldtimer, there are windows like themes [10:25] We're not allowed to have humour or a human touch. [10:25] otherwise it seems like all bots (: [10:26] YankDownUnder: you a bot too ? lol [10:26] yankdownunder - the sata drive that's not recognised comes up as /dev/sdd: unrecognised disk lavel. [10:26] Oh yeah - I'm a bot...or at least I wish I was sometimes... [10:26] label [10:26] im asian [10:26] Seven_Six_Two, does not help at all [10:26] ok, got it installed alright. How do I make the netbook install look/operate like the desktop install? [10:27] YankDownUnder: poor wish. IE isnt there as yet of now. [10:27] rather than having a sidebar along the left side of the window, everytime i scroll over it, the screen flickers. [10:27] morgan, something you might try is installing gparted, and seeing if there's an issue (error) on the drive - which is generally easily enough repaired with gparted [10:27] YankDownUnder: op. its AI [10:27] damno, :) [10:27] raven, ok, this is the time that you should flip out and curse, getting quieted and kicked. I unfortunaltely can't help and further. Sorry! [10:28] bye all. === klaas_ is now known as klaas [10:28] raven, it's 5.30am and I can't see straight any more. [10:28] yankdownunder - that report was from gparted - don't remember ever having trouble, prob NTFS formatted. Comes up as file system unallocated so I guess gparted isn't seeing it right and theres no error to fix. Would an incorrect unmount cause this prob? [10:29] morgan, Right click the drive/partition, "Check for Errors" => see if that fixes ya up. [10:29] yankdownunder - greyed out [10:30] if its saying unallocated - then its not seeing any FS there to check.. [10:30] morgan, You might have to choose "Unmount", then try again...?? [10:30] what FS was supposed tobe on the HD? [10:30] anyone is there a ubuntu ppa channel? [10:31] do i need to update my video drivers, or something? [10:31] Sometimes, with some SATA drives, if the disk label is toasted, the FS/partitions might appear unview-able...however, there are ways of fixing that issue. Mostly, this occurs with MS "Dynamic Disks" - disks/partitions created with XP and above [10:31] Seven_Six_Two, ok good n8 ;) [10:32] sebrock: ive never heard one mentioned. perhaps #ubuntu-ppa [10:33] hi there [10:34] can you help me please? [10:34] !ask [10:34] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:34] amybunny: which video crd do you have? [10:35] IBM Thinkpad T42 oboard [10:35] i using and old pc with a p4 2.5 ddr1 192mb has xp but its choking , need a bootable harddrive os but i need it to a main steam like suport like ubuntu , this guy at bestbuy said exectly ubuntu core of something( dont remember then name of website) command line install then install gui/ ice. i need to get it so i can sell as if to a teenager and his friends === jackneill is now known as Jackneill [10:35] oldtimer: dident we cover this earlier? :) Lubuntu wouldbe the lightest full ubuntu you could install on a low end system. [10:35] amybunny: could you type: "lspci" (without ") into a terminal, and put the output to pastebin.ubuntu.com? [10:36] oldtimer, w/ resources that low, i'd look at either Lubuntu or Crunchbang Linux [10:36] oldtimer: otherwise you ar going to be doing a lot of tweaking byhand to get a working desktop [10:36] oldtimer, I'd chuck more RAM into the box, and then you'd be able to use a current version of Ubuntu mate. At least 512mb... [10:36] oldtimer: Definatly find more ram from some junker/dead box. [10:36] hi [10:36] Then you cold run normal Ubuntu [10:36] how to take write acces to a file? [10:36] i cant write a file [10:36] !permissions | Jackneill [10:36] Jackneill: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [10:36] in etc apache2 [10:37] is there a way to reduce the heat in my laptop? i'm using easy peasy i tried almost ALL linux distros and all of them have the same problem [10:37] Jackneill: you may want to check into groups - if you want other users accessing the www-data files. [10:37] AbuBadr: check the ubuntu forums for your exact make of laptop. and sdee if theres any tweaks for power saveing for it. [10:38] AbuBadr: i suggest using the latest ubuntu over easypeasy unless E.P has speffic special features for that thing. Or perhaps JoliOS. [10:38] Is Eayspeasy even still being supported/devloped? [10:38] hi, I installed Kubuntu10.4, it worked fine, but when I activated the video driver, it downloaded and installed the necessary files, then it asked to reboot, I rebooted, then no more success to login to the system [10:39] HRT: so what does it do at boot exactly? gets to the KDM login screen? dosent get that far? whats your video card/chipset. [10:39] Dr_Willis, i tried joliOS also i think linux doesn't recognize my laptop fan! [10:40] the part im look for is very hard to find or alot of money , which im tryin to make money [10:40] jussi, looks like an ATI Radeon Mobility M7 [10:40] jussi, looks like an ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW [10:40] AbuBadr: thats possible - if the hw makers did things oddly. I would check theUbuntu Forums for thta exact make/model of laptop [10:40] amybunny: ok, so you likely need to install drivers [10:40] oldtimer, Getting old RAM should be a cheap endeavour...it's cheap as chips here... [10:40] !ati | amybunny [10:40] amybunny: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [10:40] quit [10:41] oldtimer, I have several machines that are P4's, low end to high end - working fabulously with Ubuntu 10.10...just have to have the RAM...and a vid card helps... [10:41] Dr_Willis, i'll check the forum right now thanks [10:41] but anyways thanks for all the suport ubuntu channel [10:41] when it asks for dual boot, I select Kubuntu, then screen goes black as the Kubuntu logo will appear, but it doesn't and the black screen freezes, my card is ATI HD5400 [10:41] Dr_Willis, [10:42] yankdownunder - the drive is a 1.5tb WD green from an external enclosure. Works fine in THAT enclosure, but not at all outside it. Is that normal?? [10:43] HRT: i dont use ati. could be some known issue with the ati drivers. You could try booting to recovery/rescue mode and going back to the original drivers. [10:44] Dr_Willis, then what to do after I recover my original drivers? [10:44] morgan, I've actually had this issue before - what I ended up doing was to get an update for the BIOS of the machine that the drive was put into - apparently, the drive - WHEN it was in the machine, was only reporting 32gb - ergo, BIOS update - then everything worked like a champ after that...and as well, the drive was a slave...so no issues since...(and it's in a server) [10:44] HRT: use them and not the FGLRX drivers from ati. [10:45] morgan: from what ive read a 'green' WD hd. is often just a slower RPM hd.. ive not heard anythign special about their enclosuers. [10:45] Dr_Willis, i didn't get you [10:45] morgan: it could be its power needs are differnt i guess. [10:45] YankDownUnder, well not sddram1 which was win98 to win2000 and looks like came form a school , [10:45] HRT: dont run/use the drivers from the addational drivers tool. [10:45] HRT: ati is often problematic. If the default drivers work - use them [10:46] yankdownunder - hmmm. The motherboard is brand new (but not necessarily latest bios granted) - but the disk size is correctly reported in gparted. Got me a bit thrown.. [10:46] Dr_Willis, then I should google for the drivers? [10:46] HRT: use the DEFAULT drivers thta came with ubuntu - if they worked.. [10:46] Dr_Willis, they don't work [10:46] Dr_Willis, morgan Those drives - WHEN they're in an external enclosure, do not depends on the BIOS of the machine to be read/recognised - however, when you put them INTO the box, the BIOS requires information from the CMOS on the PCB of the drive - the WD green drives have strange CMOS/BIOS on their PCB's - and if you don't have a current BIOS, you can't read the drive properly. [10:46] HRT: you said it worked fine originally... [10:47] Dr_Willis, they caused the damage occured [10:47] cheers yankdownunder - appreciate the help, i'll look into it. [10:47] morgan, What you could do is to back up the drive, then, under linux (or with the liveCD), delete, recreate the partition, format it as you wish - then try again...I gave you the resolution I had to resort to - but hey, I've read many more different resolutions for this issue. [10:47] HRT: that made no sence... [10:48] YankDownUnder: good to know then. :) [10:48] Dr_Willis, Yeah mate - especially if you're making money off the venture... :) [10:49] YankDownUnder: i thought the whole 'green hd' thing was a gimmic really. Just marketing a slower RPM hd as being better.. :) [10:49] Dr_Willis, It *is* a gimic...nothing more... [10:49] YankDownUnder: a gimmic that requires new HW to work normally even.. I will pass on them I think. [10:50] Dr_Willis, here, I installed the system, then I went to hardware drivers, it prompted "searching for available drivers" it found it, I activated it, then asked to reboot, then nothing happened, just the black screen [10:50] HRT: that installed the FGLRX drivers. which seem tobe the issue. [10:50] Dr_Willis, When I deal with builds, I make sure it's stuff that's tried and true and tested, and that I'm not going to see for a very long time....VERY long time (fix it once - that's my motto) [10:50] then what to do? [10:51] HRT: you could try rescue/recovery mode and deactivate the drivers [10:52] Im not sure of the proper way to de-activate the ati drivers. For my Nvidia systems. I canjust rename the xorg.conf to be xorg.conf.BROKEN :) or similer [10:53] HRT, You could always try getting to the console (ALT-F1) logon, then try: sudo dpkg --reconfigure xorg-server => choose a different driver for the card, reboot.

[13:04] saimanoj: no; that wont happen [13:04] ikonia: mmh? [13:05] saimanoj: Probably not...by default send-keys won't do that. But if you're worried about it, fetch the key from the server to check it manually. [13:05] zetsubooou: as long as its ubuntu related. here is fine. [13:05] sorry, that was for bullgard4 [13:05] oh, okay [13:05] saimanoj: gpg knows the correspondng public key and sends that [13:05] how to fetch it [13:05] haha. '~$ apt-cache show update-notifier; ...; Task: ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-uec-live;' [13:05] gpg --recv-keys [13:05] Is anyone here strongly familiar with keyboards and xmodmap? [13:05] how to learn basics about gpg [13:05] !gpg [13:05] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [13:05] Start with the man page: man gpg [13:06] saimanoj: read the docuentation [13:06] the man is very large [13:06] Maybe I'm googling wrong... I've got a few sites hosted on an ubuntu box. They're all in /var/www/ There's also /var/www/logs/ and in there is a directory for each of the sites. How do I rotate those logs? [13:06] and all the options are not used regularly [13:06] saimanoj: that's how you learn [13:06] and i dont know what are those needed usually [13:06] ubuntu installer randomly hangs, any hint ? [13:07] craigbass1976: Unless you did something wacky, logrotate will take care of it for you. [13:07] DaLynX, bunk cd? [13:07] bunk ? [13:07] DaLynX: check dmesg output. [13:07] DaLynX, bad. Sorry [13:07] Dr_Willis: how do you check anything when the system is frozen ? [13:07] craigbass1976: I checked the md5 of the image, it's fine [13:07] the man page is very large [13:07] to read [13:07] and then the check for errors in boot menu says fine too [13:07] DaLynX: have it running in a terminal as you run installer. or install ssh server and ssh in and watch it [13:07] saimanoj: then take time reading it [13:07] saimanoj: so? :) [13:07] saimanoj: what are you going to use gpg for? [13:08] i want to contribute for ubuntu [13:08] CodeGnome2, /etc/logrotate.d/apache2? [13:08] Dr_Willis: how do I do that ? how am I going to install anything before installing the os ? [13:08] DaLynX: you mah have better luck instlling from a bootable flash drive also [13:08] I cant save my acc settings in finch ; it's reset every time I close it tho I select the 'save' buton while editing the acc. any idea? [13:08] saimanoj: then you need to be able to read documentation [13:08] I'm installing from my usb key [13:08] DaLynX: i instll stuff on a live cd all the time. it goes to 'ram' [13:08] craigbass1976: Most likely. :) [13:08] (well ,trying to install) [13:09] DaLynX: Unles you got a peristant save file setup . [13:09] I don't [13:09] CodeGnome2, that's only looking in /var/log/apache2/*.log [13:09] mmh [13:09] ikonia: Yes you are right. Thanks for your reply. [13:09] so I should run as a "live" system, then try to install from there [13:10] DaLynX: thtas how i normally do it. that way i can irc as i am installing . :) [13:10] I have 2 computers so IRC's not an issue [13:10] hi sometimes my dvd player not detecting dvds [13:10] craigbass1976: Then tweak the logrotate files, add your own, or do a manual cron job. If you put stuff in non-standard places, then you have to build a non-standard log-rotation. [13:10] help me [13:10] but the fact I have already spent 3 days trying to install that crap is.

[13:12] saimanoj: yes [13:12] okay, Dr_Willis, live system hangs too [13:12] after approx 45 secs [13:12] DaLynX: hardware problem [13:12] I have a ubuntu machine, where my WDTV *cannot* see the videos. It says "no media in folder". Yet I can see the windows 7 shares without fail, anyone know what I am doing wrong? [13:12] ikonia: it runs Windows perfectly [13:12] i hav a dual boot....windows detects the same dvd on same drive [13:12] DaLynX: doesn't mean not a hardware problem [13:12] ...

[13:14] ikonia: I'm trying to find help here [13:14] midhuno: Is it a region-encoded DVD? [13:14] DaLynX: Linux has different ways and capabilities of using hardware, [13:14] MK``: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [13:14] DaLynX: so making silly commentes won't help that [13:14] DaLynX: have you looked at your hardware list to check for linux compatability [13:14] saimanoj: Why not look up the project's home page to learn more about it? [13:14] when I use xmodmap -pk, it shows 6 entries for most keys; the first 2 are normal, normal+Shift, and the 5th and 6th are AltGr, AltGr+shift. The middle set is identical to the first set of 2, is this for some compatibility reason? by AltGr I mean ISO_Level3_Shift [13:14] no I did not [13:14] DaLynX: thats a bad sign. you did double check the md5 of the cd, and iso files? [13:14] DaLynX: have you ran memtest on your PC to check your ram is "ok" [13:14] what that means?? [13:14] Dr_Willis: I double checked the image MD5 [13:14] hi all [13:14] DaLynX: right, so "Linux isn't crap" you're "slopppy" in that you didn't look if your hardware is supported [13:14] and the usb using "Check disk for defects" [13:14] DaLynX: checking that is a good start [13:14] DaLynX: whats your video chipset? [13:15] ATI Radeon 9800 Pro [13:15] DaLynX: I'd also suggest using memtest for a good period as a basic step [13:15] midhuno: Lots of DVDs have DRM. That means you're out of luck, generally. [13:15] cna you give the proj. home page. please [13:15] then what i do to open the dvd?? [13:16] I had to use xforcevesa and nomodeset in order to avoid crashing at a lower stage [13:16] ** FOMA F905i ** [13:16] ** 1 pack ** 10 of 10 slots open, Min: 0.1KB/s [13:16] ** Bandwidth Usage ** Current: 0.0KB/s, Record: 53.6KB/s [13:16] ** To request a file, type "/msg up23four xdcc send #x" ** [13:16] ** To request details, type "/msg up23four xdcc info #x" ** [13:16] up23four: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[13:17] DaLynX: could be some flakey ram, or some other hard to track down issue. [13:17] wouldn't have thought some things would go wrong [13:17] DaLynX: try some other disrtos, try that flash on other pc's [13:18] hi all [13:18] hiya [13:18] people have always been telling me oh linux's so great, and it's very simple to install and everything. I like using it when it's already installed myself, but when it comes to making a fresh install I always loose feet. [13:18] DaLynX: thers always the text based installer you could try on the alternative cd. [13:18] the dvd player not detecting blank dvds also [13:19] midhuno: that sounds like a deeper issue. or a missibng /dev/XXX link [13:19] i really don't get the whole linux is better than windows thing [13:19] okay maybe I'll try that.

[13:23] QuiSE: because they get a lot of people asking questions that are answered in the docs/faq? [13:23] QuiSE: because people r mean [13:23] my dvd player not detecting even blank dvds [13:24] Dr_Willis: Non in my case [13:24] midhuno: no idea. i would check th forums to see if others have had similer issues. [13:24] QuiSE: do u need help wit something? i got it to gather packets b4 in backtrack [13:24] midhuno: every so often i see it asked in here about not seieng blank disks.. never saw a quick/exact fix. [13:24] Dr_Willis: I have 2 laptops, one I could catch a handshake with, and the other didnt get the handshake [13:24] I have a desktop machine with a wired network card. Can I put a network cable between this machine and my laptop, and get internet access on the desktop via the laptops WIFI ? [13:24] QuiSE: means little to me.. i dont use aircrack [13:24] and I asked what could be the problem, if I needed to upg my wifi drivers [13:25] shazzr: with the right cable/cards yes. [13:25] !ics | shazzr [13:25] shazzr: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [13:25] they started harassing, and I told them I leave and let them harass someone else. and got banned :) [13:25] Dr_Willis: what your saying is that I need a crossed cable? [13:25] thats good customerservice imo [13:25] then what i do???? [13:25] any1 knor if there's an IRC server for casual chatting? [13:26] s33kr: #defocus on this network. [13:26] s33kr: there are lots of them, DALnet, Undernet, EFnet [13:27] Dr_Willis: you good with update wifi drivers perhaps? [13:29] plsss help me my dvd player not detecting any dvds [13:29] shazzr, if you've got an end and a crimper, I think there's only a couple of wires that are crossed. http://www.littlewhitedog.com/content-8.html [13:29] midhuno: i would check the forums for similer problems people have had. [13:30] midhuno: and pop in a data disk and see if you can mount it by hand [13:30] QuiSE: i rarely have to mess with wifi drivers these days [13:30] hello [13:31] i dont understand... [13:31] Dr_Willis: I found this last night: http://nanonanonano.net/linux/debian/iwlwifi [13:31] hello is this really ubuntu? [13:31] Dr_Willis: but there is things I cant grasp in that guide [13:32] i have maverick with the latest updates installed, and an intel gigabit 82577LM ethernet controller. if i ifconfig, there is no eth0 device, nothing. no errors in dmesg, nothing. [13:32] when the next release of Ubuntu will be ready?? [13:32] any suggestion? [13:32] Hello room I dont know if anyone is bored enough to talk to me I am interested in learning linux [13:32] mahound_: Did you check to see if you need any special firmware for that device? [13:33] mahound_: it is listed as about the 25th i think [13:33] hellow?? [13:33] I know everyone is busy [13:33] but any help you can offer me will be greatly appreciated [13:33] how can i set the default (preferred) resolution for a specific display with the fglrx driver? it seems that xrandr causes the catalyst software to confuse settings [13:33] tawan, sorry? i don't get it [13:33] and i'm unable to remove unwanted modes [13:33] CodeGnome2, i googled it, but found nothing [13:34] sor4you, I think it's worth giving a try. You can opt to start with a small dual-boot, and then convert to pure linux later if you like. [13:34] when the next release of Ubuntu will be ready?? !!! [13:34] phoenixsampras: I think on the 28th of this month [13:34] so i have done that with the ubuntu remix and i want the real thing [13:34] i have a netbook right now [13:34] but will have a laptop soon [13:35] so as far as the fullblown ubuntu i should just download the desktop version for my laptop right [13:35] mahound_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule [13:35] mahound_: I don't know anything about that particular chipset. Sorrt. [13:35] Im looking for some assistens in update my WIFI-DRIVERS. (got the drivers and a guide already) [13:35] that way i can do stuff like compiz fusion and all those cool features [13:35] tawan, i think you are confusing me with someone else :) [13:36] sor4you: The netbook and desktop editions are the same now. [13:36] ok well here is my question if you dont mind amybunny [13:36] CodeGnome2, ok, thanks anyway [13:36] phoenixsampras: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule [13:36] ye sorry mahound_ [13:36] i want to run compiz fusion and ubuntu and the latest linux what kind of specs should i have [13:36] Will all Bugs involded Hibernation and Suspend, will be fixed?? [13:37] Im not sure if it's actually possible to run the 'desktop' release on a netbook. If you already have the netbook release installed, that should be perfectly fine. As for Compiz fusion, I know nothing about that application. [13:37] oh ok [13:38] well the netbook edition looks nothing like what i have seen on youtube videos [13:38] instances of ubuntu running at incredible speeds [13:39] once again there is no laptop/notebook version of ubuntu? [13:39] sor4you: I think 10.10 has a netbook edition. 11.04 won't. [13:39] another problem in my smplayer xv video output is not working so i have 2 use x11(slow)output.....y? [13:39] so what ubuntu do i install on my new laptop [13:40] I have a ubuntu machine, where my WDTV *cannot* see the videos. It says "no media in folder". Yet I can see the windows 7 shares without fail, anyone know what I am doing wrong? [13:41] sor4you: what kind of graphics card do you have? [13:41] or is there some better distro i can run on my laptop? [13:41] midhuno: Have you checked to see if your graphics card is fully supported? [13:41] sor4you: 11.04 will be like netbook by default, it will be awesome on your netbook [13:41] sor4you: Install 10.10...whatever edition suits yuou best. [13:42] what is the last stable edition they put out? [13:42] hey, guys [13:42] phoenixsampras: You could always try the Beta version if you want. That might help you. [13:42] ther is no driver installed...my graphic card is SIS M672 [13:42] sor4you: maverick, but natty will be released in 12 days [13:42] and you run maverick? [13:42] Karen_m: How are you sharing the folder? [13:42] * tawan points sor4you to the ubuntu website where all of these answers are in plain sight [13:43] !download | sor4you [13:43] sor4you: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! [13:43] well, good evening~ [13:43] good evening to you too [13:43] Im looking for some assistens in update my WIFI-DRIVERS. (got the drivers and a guide already) [13:44] hello, how can i save files from a damage hard disk with their original names ans location? [13:44] midhuno: SIS is an on-chip GPU. Doesn't do accelerated anything, generally. It may simply not support the features you want. Check the xorg and smplayer web sites to see whether your chipset can do anything better with alternative settings. [13:45] ghustaf: Copy&Paste? [13:45] ghustaf: You probably can't, but try mounting your drive read-only and using ddrescue to salvage whatever you can. [13:45] is there a permanent solution for the "left mouse button problem" in ubuntu 10.10 yet? I tried a couple and they aint working for me [13:45] i can't mount the hard disk. i created an image with dd_rescue but can't mount it either [13:46] CodeGnome2, I setup samba, all computers can load it, but not WDTV [13:46] but WDTV can load the win7 shares, so i don't know if there is a compatibility flag somewhere or something? [13:46] QuiSE, what problem? [13:47] i installed a driver when i was using ubuntu 10.10...that works great for me...but now i am using 11.04 in which that driver not works [13:47] Karen_m: Have you looked at your samba logs? If everything else can access it, it sounds like a permissions problem. [13:47] brontosaurusrex: Mouse buttons stop working but you can move the mouse, working inside X [13:47] I will have to try the samba logs, it just sucks cause everyhting else works.. [13:48] ghustaf: You may just be out of luck. I've lost a few drives that way over the years, too. Check out the Coroner's Toolkit. There may be something there that can help you extract from an invalid filesystem. [13:48] does anyone know about compiz on here? [13:48] sor4you: like what about it? [13:49] ok, i'll try [13:49] tawan: are you running compiz on your system/ [13:49] Karen_m: I imagine. But if the Windows systems see the share, then it's probably something specific to do with whatever your WDTV is doing. [13:49] ikonia: the hardware support list only lists complete computers. I would need a per-item list, is there such a thing ? [13:49] i'm trying to stop the sshd running on my machine, so i tried typing (as root) "/etc/init.d/sshd stop" which reports "* Stopping OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ]" [13:49] but sshd is still running [13:49] i will find out where samba logs and try debugging it, thank you [13:49] sor4you: yes [13:49] err.. i meant "/etc/init.d/ssh stop" [13:50] tawan: are you running a desktop or a laptop? [13:50] sor4you: old laptop [13:50] sor4you: and my wife has it on an eee [13:50] pattern: There may still be some ocnnected sessions. Try 'sudo pkill sshd' instead. [13:51] tawan: and you are able to do like the cube and the sphere of windows on that old laptop? [13:51] CodeGnome2: if i do that sshd just respawns [13:51] tawan: and is your system response fast and reliable, stable and efficient? [13:51] sor4you: no problems, I think if you can run XP then Linux with Compiz will run nicer and quicker on the same machine [13:52] pattern: You aren't doing something normal, then. Is ssh running from init? [13:52] tawan: as far as learning source code do you know how and where did you learn? [13:52] guys i have a c++ program in netbeans and when i run it, it gives me permission errors, it cant access the project folder [13:52] xp is a wonderful OS, but growing too old [13:52] how can i fix this [13:52] CodeGnome2: how can i check? [13:53] pokoko222: What are the permissions on the folder? ls -lad [13:53] sor4you: find something easy and interesting and look at it. If you have the aptitude for it then you'll learn. [13:53] pattern: fgrep ssh /etc/inittab [13:53] CodeGnome2 the wierd thing is i cant change the file permissions with right click and permissions [13:53] i change it but then it goes back to none [13:54] CodeGnome2: i don't have an /etc/inittab, but i notice that /etc/init/ssh.conf has "respawn" in it === Trystam is now known as Tristam [13:55] pokoko222: Try from the command line. [13:55] CodeGnome2 and when i copy to desktop then i can [13:55] pattern: You aren't running ubuntu, are you? None of what you just said sounds like ubuntu. [13:55] does this mean my d: parition is corrupted or something [13:55] pokoko222: Run the ls command in a shell.

Suspends fine but when i try to wake up the machine again the sceens remain black and i have to hard-reset. This is a problem i have in both ubuntu and debian, any ideas? [14:00] pattern: That doesn't match my system. I can't help you. [14:00] midhuno, from command line if you type: mplayer file.mp4 what does it say? [14:00] hi hw to fix pcsx final fantasy 8 is skipping ? [14:00] NyberMi1: Is your swap encrypted? [14:00] CodeGnome2 i did ls and it marks my folder as green, wierd [14:01] CodeGnome2: thanks anyway [14:01] CodeGnome2: not that i know of, no [14:01] pokoko222: What are the permissions, though? [14:02] hi [14:02] CodeGnome2 drwxrwxrwx 5 stefan stefan 4096 2011-04-16 14:37 [14:02] CodeGnome2: someone said my swap might be too small so im now running a 20gb swap for the fun of it, the system sports 6gb of ram [14:02] brontosaurusrex, many thanks! I think it will work now.. yay!!! [14:02] same problem persists [14:02] it is playing but when opening in smplayer only audio is playing [14:02] NyberMi1: 20GB of swap is silly [14:03] ikonia: im aware of that [14:03] NyberMi1: then why are you doing it ? it's not going to do anything positive [14:03] midhuno, so 'mplayer file.mp4' is working as expected, but only audio in smplayer? [14:03] ikonia: having 3tb to play around with, i thought it wouldn't really matter [14:03] yes... [14:03] pokoko222: This is where? Your home directory? [14:03] I could use some assistance in upgrading my WIFI-DRIVERS (Already have the drivers downloaded) [14:03] NyberMi1: clealy it will [14:04] I've got a problem, I cannot figure how to connect both wireless and ethernet interfaces at the same time [14:04] NyberMi1: I have a new i7 laptop that won't suspend or hibernate, either. It might be a hardware issue. [14:04] CodeGnome2 the project folder is on desktop, yeah in my home i am the only user [14:04] CodeGnome2: my desktop has a i7 cpu [14:04] when I connect one, it deconnects the other one [14:04] this i5 laptop that im currently using suspends fine though [14:04] CodeGnome2 this is the error in Netbeans: exec: 7: /home/stefan/Desktop/Missionaries_Canibals/dist/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86/missionaries_canibals: Permission denied [14:05] midhuno, ok, then i would try to change the video output settings in smplayer, also anything that is vdpau related maybe [14:05] pokoko222: ls -l /home/stefan/Desktop/Missionaries_Canibals/dist/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86/missionaries_canibals [14:06] ikonia: silly or not, i can't see how it matters since the earlier "non-silly" amount of swap had the same effect of suspend not working. i just thought id go high while partitioning to make sure the system had enough space there [14:06] how can i configure which services from /etc/init.d to start upon boot? [14:06] NyberMi1: depends how that silly decision will effect the rest of your system [14:07] vdpau is also not workin....i tried it now [14:07] hello [14:07] CodeGnome2 -rwx--xrwx 1 stefan stefan 50590 2011-04-16 14:42 /home/stefan/Desktop/Missionaries_Canibals/dist/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86/missionaries_canibals [14:07] I am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on dell xps 15 but the live cd doesn't start and a kernel panic happens [14:08] !natty | minashokry [14:08] minashokry: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011.

[14:08] pokoko222: I don't know about about your app, but there are no group read permissions on that folder. [14:08] xangua, yes [14:08] midhuno, when running mplayer from cli, note what video output drivers is using and put that into smplayer config [14:08] ikonia: im not turning down tips and welcome any feedback, but can you think of any reason why the larger amount would be a problem? [14:09] NyberMi1: miss-representation of ram, [14:09] pokoko222: You could try adding them: chmod g+rwx [14:09] CodeGnome2 yeah the wierd thing is i cant change it from gui, so i moved now the folder from D partition to desktop and now i can everythig fine [14:09] does that mean something wrong with my d partition [14:09] why after in update to kernel 2.6.38 from mavrick ppa my battery doesnt indicate estimated time to charge or discharge [14:09] NyberMi1: a lot of suspend / hibernation problems are down to the video card chipset, I'd look in that area [14:09] adrian_kx: you're on an unsupported kernel, contact the support group for that PPA [14:09] ikonia: im receiving similar suggestions from debian.fi channel atm [14:09] midhuno, on the long run, learn how to use mplayer, its really faster and more usefull than any GUI if you know some basics [14:10] adrian_kx: you use ppa's under your own risk [14:10] well on other distros if u update kernel doesnt mess up with ur indicators [14:10] so i`m bound to dam stock kernel? [14:10] hey all, I'm trying to get the a minimal set of X packages installed on my headless Jaunty server so I can run gui apps over ssh. Are there any specialized packages for that? When I try to install the standard Xorg packages it wants to pull down loads and loads of video drivers, which obviously I don't need as the server is going to be headless. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. :) [14:10] adrian_kx: it would if you use an unsupported kernel [14:10] pokoko222: No,m it means you have a permissions problem. [14:10] what if i compile it myself? [14:10] adrian_kx: then support it yourself [14:10] hi, I've got problem with chroot... I get: chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory [14:10] adrian_kx: or use the one provided by ubuntu's repositories [14:10] its from ubuntus repositories::P [14:11] adrian_kx: no, it's from a PPA [14:11] I've created all the necessary directories, bin, lib, dev, home ... with the binaries and libraries .. [14:11] anyi ideas ? [14:11] ikonia: any log file regarding resuming from suspend i could eye over ? [14:11] plain and simple i thought someone has an ideea what bindings are broken [14:11] adrian_kx: the people who maintain that PPA will [14:11] NyberMi1: syslog is a good start [14:11] they are not at home:((( [14:11] pokoko222: Awesome. [14:12] ikonia: thank you! [14:12] hello, the live cd can't boot and makes a kernel panic on dell xps 15, anyone can help? [14:12] minashokry, #ubuntu+1 for natty [14:13] minashokry: Are you sure you have the right architecture, e.g. i386 vs amd64? [14:13] CodeGnome2 but it is kidna wierd i am loged in as admin, and i cant change permissions on my d partition and i can on files on desktop :D [14:13] brontosaurusrex>i can't understand any vdo output name from the terminal window...do u help me?? [14:13] i`ll try to see if it happends the same on debian using liquirix kernels [14:13] pokoko222: Linux doesn't have d partitions. So, you're either trying to change an NTFS partition, or you've done something else unusual. [14:14] CodeGnome2, yes, I am using 64 bits and the cpu is 64, it has 8GB of ram and I have to use 64 bits edition [14:14] if same result than compiling own kernel from source might leave my personal setting intact [14:14] minashokry, this is not 11.04 support channel, #ubuntu+1 please [14:14] minashokry: A kernel panic is a sign that something isn't matching up. [14:15] CodeGnome2 yeah that partition is ntfs [14:15] boa noite [14:15] I could use some assistance in upgrading my WIFI-DRIVERS (Already have the drivers downloaded) [14:15] !br | p3ix3 [14:15] p3ix3: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[14:16] pokoko222: not weird at all... [14:16] you would expect lunux to adapt to such a thing [14:16] minashokry, what version? 11.04? [14:16] pokoko222: its a feature MISSING in ntfs... not a linux issue at all [14:16] Hi. how do i get all the options with mouse on ubuntu that i had on windows with kvirc program ? [14:16] Dr_Willis so once you screw up permissions setting in mount time no going back? [14:16] bazhang, yes [14:16] brontosaurusrex>i can't understand any vdo output name from the terminal window...do u help me?? [14:16] minashokry, then #ubuntu+1 as you've been told many times NOT here [14:16] pokoko222: You remount the drive with proper options [14:17] minashokry: Your file device probably changed.

[16:11] do a search for "bcmwl" (again, lowercase L) [16:11] just for the case sommebody isnt able to configure grub or that type of shit, just download the system rescue disk and install it with universal bootloader (you can also choose it in the bootloader list and click on download the iso) and run it, then you can reinstall everything or run a terminal [16:11] peace [16:11] Cereal-Tree: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:11] siddhantchd, after that search, you should see "bcmwl-kernel-source" [16:11] step one complete [16:11] can sosmeone help? [16:11] lol can't type today [16:11] <[bean]> you seem to be typing [16:11] ok yeah, ... [16:11] but can you help please? [16:12] my Ubuntu box gets stuck at the spash screen. [16:12] !question [16:12] <[bean]> you havent specified your problem. you just said you cant boot [16:12] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:12] it just keeps going on forever [16:12] ~/Desktop/AlephOne-20100424$ ./compile [16:12] bash: ./compile: No such file or directory [16:12] gdea73: try the rescue/recovery mode yet?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [16:12] okay, sorry. so anyway recovery mode gives me an error about modem-manager. [16:13] I do not have a dial-up modem, just an onboard NIC. [16:14] gdea73: whats your video chipset [16:15] I posted the full error on the Ubuntu forums, here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10683522#post10683522 [16:15] and my video chipset is an ATi Radeon HD 5750.

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [16:15] which is best package for digital circuit simulation and nice circuits to cut nd paste elsewhere on ubuntu [16:15] This happened after installing updates via the update manager. [16:15] no one knows [16:15] hardcold_: the command is NOT !compile thats a BOT trigger for here in IRC [16:16] jhala, type 'circuit' in software center [16:16] hardcold_: and you will need to have installed the compiler and developer software packages [16:16] What command can I use to look at updates that have been downloaded but not installed yet because they need a system reboot to complete installation? [16:16] !best [16:16] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:17] brontosaurusrex: search depends .if i type electronics i may end up getting better ones too/ so i need a first hand experience of some people on this [16:17] gdea73: I don't think that password prompt shows any charachters when typing.. [16:18] jhala, that is true. [16:18] Diamondcite Yes I am aware of that, I've used termial before. The issue is it does not accept input. I can type any password and press enter but nothing happens. [16:18] <[TK]D-Fender> Quick question : is there a GUI version of ALSA Mixer out there I can easily install? [16:18] [TK]D-Fender: theres sevarl alsa mixer front ends.. [16:18] [TK]D-Fender: check package manager for alsa or mixer [16:18] <[TK]D-Fender> Basically I'm looking to do recording off my SB Audigy. [16:19] gdea73: Maybe you can try to boot into 'single' user mode and try to remove modem-manager ? [16:19] * [TK]D-Fender facepalms [16:19] [TK]D-Fender: You may want to check out some of the audio tools. I never do sucgh things.. [16:19] Maybe I should just wait until I see Treellama on Marathon next [16:19] Diamondcite: how would I go about doing that? I can't boot into regular mode *or* recovery mode at this popint. [16:19] <[TK]D-Fender> First search on USC shows "Gnome ALSA mixer" [16:19] he's the programmer [16:19] I'm the #1 host of the game [16:19] hardcold_: it dosent seem to be to hard to compile.. you need tolearn how compile things.. [16:19] gdea73: I think you can edit grub's boot lines for 1 session... [16:20] when I use xmodmap -pk, it shows 6 entries for most keys; the first 2 are normal, normal+Shift, and the 5th and 6th are AltGr, AltGr+shift. The middle set is identical to the first set of 2, is this for some compatibility reason? by AltGr I mean ISO_Level3_Shift [16:20] diamondcite: okay, what would I add/ remove for "single user mode"? [16:20] I am trying, in a very tired state [16:20] hardcold_: install needed dev and compiler packages.. get source, ./configure, make, and run it.. [16:20] gdea73: Assuming you can get a boot line edit, add the word single to the end of the line and try to boot [16:20] guys i can't do the alt f1 to the menu screen how can i fix that [16:20] hi [16:20] <[TK]D-Fender> Dr_Willis: I saw 3 on the first page alone... bad reflex asking here before going to USC... [16:20] guys i can't do the alt f1 to the menu screen how can i fix that, please pm me [16:20] u g h . ., . [16:20] [TK]D-Fender: i always use command line. :) [16:21] !pm | blackbox [16:21] blackbox: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[16:21] can I use maverick kernel while in karmic? is an old pc i don't need to upgrade all just kernel for pci issue [16:21] diamondcite, okay there are a few lines, do I add it at the end? or after silent splash? [16:21] blackbox: clarify what you mean 'menu screen' === derp is now known as Zalgo [16:21] Blues-Man: that proberly is not a good idea. [16:21] gdea73: After silent splash [16:21] Dr_Willis when your in your ubuntu try press alt and f1 [16:22] Dr_Willis, so is better to get a vanilla kernel and build for it? i 'm in karmic i should do a double upgrade and I don't have lots of space/resources [16:22] Well, my first day with Ubuntu, and a new computer which I bought just to use it with, is going swimingly [16:22] Dr_Willis it suppose to 'Open the Applications menu' [16:22] Blues-Man: mixxing differnt versions.. can be bad... [16:22] hardcold_ : mine crashed 3 times on first day :D [16:22] gdea73: Also are you sure the updates installed fully? It seems a little strange.. [16:22] Only 3 times? [16:22] Dr_Willis, what do you think about latest kernel.org kernel with an oldconfig ? [16:22] heh [16:22] I have a dell inspiron duo - and when the screen is locked, if I remove the power, the system crashes. I'm running natty, and wondering how do I file a bug while something is still beta? I've been able to recreate it, and I'm on the verge of a reinstall to confirm that I havn't fubar'd something [16:23] <[TK]D-Fender> Dr_Willis: So do I ... on my servers :) [16:23] I thought they did. [16:23] I installed updates at least 1.5 hours before shutting it down. [16:23] I'm running Beta 2 on an x120e [16:23] hardcold_: you mean 11.04 ? [16:23] itguru: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 [16:23] yes [16:23] hardcold_: i dont reccomend using that if you are a linux beginner... [16:24] haha [16:24] hahahahahahaha [16:24] (I shut down the PC through the menu.) also, I did add single with two spaces after silent splash but I have the exact same error [16:24] guys i can't do the alt f1; it suppose to open up 'Open the Applications menu' how can i fix that, please pm me [16:24] diamondcite: I still can't type the password either. [16:24] 11.04 beta 2 is supposed to be the easiest thing for this computer [16:24] Hello . . . the weirdest foo bar ever . . . broken package(s) messed up synaptic, when I try to open package manager it does not accept my password . . . I installed a bunch of themes and there was something wrong with the package splashy, now I can't use synaptic and the theme won't change . . . I am stuck with a retarted fat mouse pointer. How can I correct this? [16:24] as it's so new [16:24] Hi [16:25] hardcold_: and so beta [16:25] 10.1 has a lot of issues [16:25] hardcold_: i dont see the logic in that chain of thought... [16:25] hardcold_: read up on what beta means [16:25] gdea73: Do you have a live-CD or live-usb on hand? [16:25] with this [16:25] Why is mu miic not working [16:25] hardcold_: Unless you have some very very new/weird hardware.. [16:25] in what chain of thought? 11.04 is the easiest install for a functional system on the x120e [16:25] diamondcite: I do have a live CD in a stack of like 2000 CD's :P but sure I can go find it [16:25] I was trying to make it as simple as possible [16:25] hardcold_: Then install 10.10 [16:26] gdea73: backup any sensitive files you might have in that drive using the livecd and reinstall.. it'll only take half hour [16:26] gdea73: This is just a hope... but with a liveCD atleast you can chroot back into your machine and try to get it working that way? [16:26] 10.1 does not work on this computer [16:26] hardcold_: how can it be shown its easiest? its still a work in progress.. your system could break with tomorrow updates.. or not.. [16:26] the computer is too new [16:26] Hey, I've googled around and I can't find any drivers for a BiPac 3011N wireless USB adapter [16:26] hardcold_: Then wait for 11.04, I don't recommend installing beta [16:26] aye head meets keyboard... I have a ton of important stuff to back up on that [16:26] ThinkT510: Thanks, I didn't even know that channel was here! [16:26] What command can I use to look at updates that have been downloaded but not installed yet because they need a system reboot to complete installation? [16:26] anyway, I have what I have [16:26] and last night I just finished setting it up as a music server, etc. took me forever to get samba working too. but if that's what it takes... [16:27] MK``: i can only think of 2 kinds of packages that would be that way.. kernels and video drivers.. [16:27] I just want to install Aleph One, and then I have acheived victory [16:27] kernel, Dr_Willis :P [16:27] gdea73: This method should not involve any formatting.. unless you somehow manage to run the installer instead of live system... [16:27] itguru: np, its mentioned in the channel topic [16:27] hardcold_: so install the dev packages and build essential and compiule it [16:27] in some wierd sort of masochistic way [16:27] My MacBook Pro has been laughing at me all day [16:27] Diamondcite, oh I thought you meant to reinstall it from the LiveCD. What did you mean with chroot? what does that do? [16:28] gdea73: chroot is a way to change the root folder ( the / folder ) of the running system. [16:28] nice thing about Ubuntu is the trackpad works [16:28] diamondcite, okay. so what command do I type in once I have Live CD running... chroot but what directory would I use? [16:28] not the case for Windows 7 Home Premium Nightmare [16:28] Hey, I've googled around and I can't find any drivers for a BiPac 3011N wireless USB adapter [16:28] is there a program i can install to emulate a grandfather clock through the pc's bell? [16:29] hardcold_: did you install the synaptics driver [16:29] gdea73: Err not sure yet.. I'm still looking up information as I go [16:29] What GUI does the current Ubuntu use? [16:29] i went to the synaptics manager [16:29] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/372837/ [16:29] join ##esperanto [16:29] and the packages I was supposed to install were already installed [16:29] XGaryG: gnome2 [16:30] hey i wanne copy the "ls" output to a file with subfolders but the command: "ls -R > out.txt" is a kind of ugly is there a better way? [16:30] hardcold_: i meant in win [16:30] Will it be going to Gome 3 soon? I've been hearing so much about it. [16:30] why i cant connect my squid proxy server? [16:31] Hey, I've googled around and I can't find any drivers for a BiPac 3011N wireless USB adapter [16:31] ... Gnome 3 [16:31] XGaryG: They released it time ago [16:31] XGaryG: 11.04 will use unity, not gnome3 [16:31] In Windows? [16:31] gdea73: Okay instead of chroot, can you see you where your server's /etc is stored in the drives listed? [16:31] lampe2: ls has dozens of options.. it depends on what sort of output you want [16:31] ThinkT510: ubuntu 11.04 won't use gnome3? [16:31] The only thing I used Windows for was th create a bootable SD card for ubuntu [16:31] hardcold_: yes (out of curiosity) [16:31] BlouBlou: its using Unity.. [16:32] !unity | BlouBlou [16:32] BlouBlou: Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell.

Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [16:32] Hey, I've googled around and I can't find any drivers for a BiPac 3011N wireless USB adapter. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 [16:32] Diamondcite, oh darn... I installed Ubuntu on my friend's laptop and left my Live CD in his CD drive. [16:32] Dr_Willis: oh, it's another desktop enviroment? [16:32] Dr_Willis, a tree like output [16:32] BlouBlou: its the netbook interface modified.. [16:32] lampe2: i recall a 'tree' command [16:32] Diamondcite, I have several CD's of 10.10 but only because they were corrupt unless burned at like 4x [16:32] Keep in mind, I'm coming from OSX, where you download the program and run it [16:32] Do you have a link for Unity? Their web page? [16:32] no installation [16:32] let alone compiling [16:32] gdea73: Hrm.. I don't need a 10.10 cd, as long as it can read the drive.. I don't care if the CD is knoppix =P [16:33] !unity | XGaryG [16:33] XGaryG: Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 [16:33] diamondcite haha alright then let's hope I don't have to reformat. I will find a 10.04 lts cd that worked. [16:33] word of advice, if you have 'tons of data' , install system in separate partition than the data .. in this fashion, even if the system crashes, your data will still be safe [16:33] bananas are yellow [16:34] unity looks like a paIn, is that the same thing netbook 9.04 had? [16:34] Dr_Willis, i installed tree thx ;) [16:34] its the netbook interface modified.. [16:34] Unity is awful [16:34] pfifo: lots of rewrite and improvements [16:34] I was tricked by 10.04 [16:34] every time i boot, after login ubuntu asks me for a password now for nautilus. [16:34] xfce here i come [16:34] kyubutsu: depends on the crash [16:34] Dr_Willis: it seems fine [16:34] I installed 10.04 in virtual box on OSX and was well impressed [16:34] hylian: you mean the Keyring password? [16:34] hylian I think that's a known bug === administrator is now known as Guest28038 [16:35] 11.04 is like going back 10 years [16:35] hardcold_: nice [16:35] hardcold_: this is not the place for reviews [16:35] Dr_Willis, yep. i don't want it to ask, if i deleted the keyrings would this go away? [16:35] Hey, I've googled around and I can't find any drivers for a BiPac 3011N wireless USB adapter. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 [16:35] Hey, I was just discussing what the other poster was [16:35] hylian: set a blank password for the keyring. [16:35] though I thought a version of SANE that supported my scanner [16:35] hylian: then it wont ask again [16:35] Dr_Willis, i already did that... [16:35] and slightly better performance on my machine [16:35] would be cool [16:36] hylian: then you did it wrong. :) [16:36] Dr_Willis, ok i will try that, gotta reboot... [16:36] exit [16:36] hylian: this is a common faq. :) [16:36] hardcold_: if you notice, there's an option for the "Ubuntu Classic Session" [16:36] that'll bring you back to your old config [16:36] I did not know about that [16:36] I will look at that now [16:36] it's in the login menu :P [16:37] in 11.11 or whatever the next is.. i dont think theres going to be a classic either. :) [16:37] EOF-sensei means, the session manager at the bottom of the screen [login screen] [16:37] need you ide, am remove phpmyadmin and am get some error E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [16:37] anyone here know why sane-backends doesn't support all the models it says it does? === derp is now known as Zalgo [16:37] any body can help that. problem [16:38] can someone link a good tutorial on advanced drive setup? I'm trying to set up a bootable 10TB raid 5 LVM and it's really hard to figure out when I need a separate /boot and how to make it work in raid etc [16:38] EOF-sensei: could be theres some extra support packages for it - to include support. [16:38] kyubutsu: that's a rather snazzy name for a dropdown menu that most people wouldn't know [16:38] Hello I have two hardrives, one has ALL my old ubuntu stuff, how do i copy over eveything, including root files and drivers to my new ubuntu setup? [16:38] Dr_Willis: I mean the ones supposedly supported by sane-genesys [16:38] !raid | liekzomg [16:38] liekzomg: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [16:38] ceo: You've been here before.. just ask the full question instead of asking to ask :) [16:38] and yes I have the extras [16:39] !raid [16:39] EOF-sensei: all i an suggest is to check the SANE homepage. My few scanners have worked great. [16:39] Diamondcite, am used ubuntu 10.10 and am need to reinstall my phpmyadmin couse am forget my phpmyadmin password [16:39] so there is something I need to install?

[16:40] hardcold_: to do what? [16:40] Hello I have two hardrives, one has ALL my old ubuntu stuff, how do i copy over eveything, including root files and drivers to my new ubuntu setup? [16:40] gdea73: Use that to boot into a desktop [16:40] !clone [16:40] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [16:40] I want to compile Aleph One [16:40] Tuubes_: check the !backup factoid also.. [16:40] Diamondcite I'm in the desktop right now. [16:40] someone said I should install something [16:40] ceo: un-installing phpmyadmin completely and putting it back should reset everything should it not?

[16:41] hardcold_: read the url the bot gave [16:41] !compile | hardcold_ if you have to ask, it's probably best you not undertake it [16:41] hardcold_ if you have to ask, it's probably best you not undertake it: please see above [16:41] I see my 988 GB filesystem, shouldl I mount it? === hamiltonham is now known as EOF-gakusei [16:41] Dr_Willis: according to their list, it's fully supported in sane-backends 1.0.22 [16:42] I've tried the upstream version [16:42] EOF-gakusei: check the forums perhaps theres a known bug. [16:42] I bought this computer to run Ubuntu to host Aleph One games [16:42] and ubuntu's patched version [16:42] I'm guessing the genesys core isn't getting permission [16:42] hardcold_: you need to ask in #ubuntu+1 since you are running 11.04 [16:42] okay === Tuubes_ is now known as Tuubes [16:42] gdea73: Yes mount it (everything is in root?!) [16:42] even though it's config'd with the correct USB device IDs [16:43] diamondcite, I don't know what you mean by "everything is in root?!" but yes I'll mount it. [16:43] Hello I have two hardrives, one has ALL my old ubuntu stuff, how do i copy over eveything, including root files and drivers to my new ubuntu setup? I can't use backup because I cannot install ubuntu on the hardrive with all the settings? It says I don't have permission to copy over and merge my files, what do? [16:43] if this doesn't work on my debian partition [16:43] Tuubes: theres dozens of ways to do it.. you could use 'dd' and then gparted to resize the partitions.. if you wanted to do it old-skool [16:44] gdea73: After it's mounted, go to it's /etc/init [16:44] then I call shenanigans on their support list... [16:44] Dr_Willis I just want to copy over my settings, drivers and all taht [16:44] gdea73: Which should be something like /media/ABCDEF123456789BCDA/etc/init [16:44] does vsftpd save cache for uploaded file somewhere? I upload a file to a mounted --bind folder to another partition and now my / partition is full [16:45] hello [16:45] ..... [16:45] Is there a way to hide certain app indicators on the gnome panel? [16:45] Diamondcite, I'm now on my Ubuntu box running the live CD [16:45] Tuubes: are both setups the same version? [16:45] Nope [16:45] One is older than the other [16:45] Tuubes: you reinstall the drivers.. copy setting files from whever they are at then... [16:45] For example, I have no need to see that dropbox is running. [16:45] Diamondcite, I've mounted my HD from the Live CD, and I'm in the /etc folder. [16:45] gdea73_: Ah okay, can you please open a terminal and navigate to your now mounted drive? [16:45] Dr_Willis I don't know how to copy it over and stuff [16:45] hello, not sure this is a right question, I want to learn about LAMP, but I don't have an actually server to do that, so I decide to use virtual machine, what could I use on linux, is virtualbox power as VMWARE on windows? [16:45] Tuubes: you could dd over the whole thing and upgrade from there [16:45] Tuubes: newer releases use newer kernels, you don't want to move over your old drivers (unless there is something obscure you need) [16:46] dd over? [16:46] Diamondcite okay I'm in /etc [16:46] gdea73: You are SURE you in in /media/*/etc and not /etc ? [16:46] dd command :P [16:46] thinkt510 there is something obscure [16:46] Tuubes: you are going to do a new install to the new HD then copy the things over? is that the plan? [16:46] Dr_Willis yes [16:46] diamondcite, oh... wait... guess not. [16:46] Tuubes: or do you want to clone the WHOLE system to a bigger hd? [16:46] Tuubes: do the install.. and copy the things from the old system to the new then. [16:47] How then? It won't let me copy over my settings like drivers [16:47] You dont copy over 'drivers' and 'apps' you reinstall them [16:47] Diamondcite okay now I'm in /media/b3d83c84-92f7-44c9-92e1-ff52e5ba7a87/ [16:47] You copy the setting files from wherver they are at. to where they belong. [16:47] gdea73_: That sounds better ^_^ [16:47] Tuubes: are you refering to USER settings? or system settings? [16:47] Diamondcite, ok lol. So I'm in the /etc, what do I do now? [16:47] Dr_willis i want to copy eveything in one system to the other, EVERYTHING, so what do i do? [16:48] does anyone know any tutorials for installing/booting from large disks (2TB+). I'm pretty sure I need to use GPT but i'm having a hell of a time figuring it out in the advanced installer. [16:48] gdea73_: go to the init folder. [16:48] Tuubes: You just stated you wanted to 'CLONE' the whole disk to a new disk then.. [16:48] diamondcite okay [16:48] gdea73_: When you ls, do you see a modem-manager.conf ? [16:48] anybody had success with hamachi? [16:48] Tuubes: that was not what you said earlier.. [16:48] sorry my bad willis :( [16:48] hi, I accidentally did mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev; umount /mnt/dev; .... now I have nothing in /dev (except 3 items) ... how can I repopulate /dev wihout restarting computer ? [16:48] Diamondcite, actually, I don't. [16:49] diamondcite, it goes from irqbalance.conf to module-init-tools.conf [16:49] Tuubes: use some of the backup/restore tools to backup TO the new HD. dd is one way to do it. [16:49] gdea73_: I don't on my side either, well it was worth a shot =P Still looking. [16:49] gdea73_: Nothing in between? [16:49] Tuubes: i just keep my /home/ and do new installs normally. [16:49] I'm here to save lives [16:49] Dr_Willis I cannot access the ubuntu on the other HD i watn to copy the stuff from but I can access the files from the HD [16:49] Diamondcite, nope. should we talk via PM, maybe a little easier? [16:49] And souls too [16:49] hello everyone [16:50] im new to this irc [16:50] please help to to fix a problem in my ubuntu [16:50] Tuubes: you can access the other ubuntu install if you mount it. and access it as root.. [16:50] blackmonk: ask your problem [16:50] my laptop is toshiba satellite m500 and after i install ubuntu brightness is very low and i cant change it and the temperature of my cpu is upto 75 to 80 [16:51] k [16:51] what can i do now [16:51] how do i access it as root [16:51] i ahve no idea [16:51] of linux [16:51] im total noob [16:51] How is "resident memory" defined in System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes? [16:51] blackmonk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:51] blackbox, cool down your cpu [16:51] ok [16:51] sorry my bad [16:51] blackbox, I'm not finished [16:51] pip? [16:51] So from what I am seeing, Unity is pretty mush a Ubuntu based project? [16:51] guys i can't do the alt f1; it suppose to open up 'Open the Applications menu' how can i fix that, please pm me [16:51] Sorry [16:52] ...much [16:52] Tuubes: 'sudo [16:52] blackmonk, Cool down your cpu via cpufreq [16:52] k [16:52] Tuubes: 'sudo' as needed. [16:52] !pm | blackmonk [16:52] blackmonk: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [16:52] what is cpufeg how can i access that one [16:52] Tuubes: i cheat and use mc 'sudo mc' :) for my root user file manager [16:52] XGaryG: basically yes [16:52] blackmonk: better to don't PM :-) [16:52] Dr_Willis: wouldnt it be alot easier to just install a fresh system on the target hdd and just access his data by mounting the other drive? why all this copying around? [16:52] So just "sudo" ? [16:52] oh ok sorry where i can find the channel [16:52] blackbox, It's a software that is to utilize the cpu speedstep technology [16:53] kyubutsu: no idea.. because he has no idea how to do linux basics Im guessing.. [16:53] Tuubes: youmay want to learn some baics first [16:53] :S too man black- [16:53] blackmonk, gnome or KDE ? [16:53] Dr_Willis I promise to but right now I got some important settings, please i ask if you can tell me how to be root on both HD's to copy the stuff over [16:53] i have no idea on operating linux just a new [16:53] gnome [16:53] i guess [16:54] ubuntu 11 [16:54] blackmonk: 11.04? [16:54] no [16:54] older one [16:54] ah okay [16:54] because 11.04 it's a beta [16:54] blackmonk, There is an applet of cpu monitor for gnome panel, you can put in within your sight [16:54] yeah i just read that one [16:54] So Ubuntu is going to stay Gnome-based. You are just creating your own Ubuntu-specific shell or GUI to work from? [16:54] Tuubes: if you do what you are saying you will probably make your other ubuntu install non bootable [16:54] itaylor57 this will take less time [16:55] yeah its fine with monitoring but i want o cool down the temp [16:55] blackmonk, And check within your synaptic if there is cpufrequtils installed [16:55] XGaryG: yes, however i prefer xfce so i use xubuntu, i can't get on with unity [16:55] ok so i have to look after cpufrequitls [16:55] huh? [16:55] Yes [16:56] Built in speakers on laptot acer dont work [16:56] Tuubes: run a file manager as root.. or use the command line via sudo as needed. [16:56] and after its installation what i ahve to do? [16:56] what file manager? [16:56] blackmonk, you should follow a beginner HOWTO actually [16:56] Tuubes: how do you even know what you are wanting to backup? [16:56] yeah that will be good for me [16:56] Really? Why is that, ThinkT510 ? [16:56] There is a bunch of things to setup before you really rock and roll [16:56] Tuubes: i mentoned that i use 'mc' as my root user file manager.. theres others. like nautilus. [16:56] blackmonk, Ubuntu version .... ? [16:56] but you with this brighness i can barely type [16:56] Dr_Willis I want to install my internet driver, firefox and driver settings [16:57] .. [16:57] 11 version [16:57] Tuubes: you reinstall drivers and apps.. you dont just copy them over.. [16:57] not 11.04 [16:57] blackmonk, That could be due to the driver of your monitor [16:57] Took me 1.5 hours to get my internet to work [16:57] Tuubes: the setting files are where? ive no idea.. in /etc/ somewhere.. if you know where they are at.. copy them to your new /etc/ [16:57] blackmonk: there is only 11.04 as an 11 version [16:57] So I'll just cope em ;) [16:57] its a laptop i have toshiba m500 [16:57] Tuubes: you proberly CANT just copy them.... [16:57] hi all [16:57] Tuubes: you seem to be missing that point. [16:58] XGaryG: to each their own, i just find xfce has everything i need and i can customise it to my liking, others feel the same about kde/gnome/enlightenment/lxde ect. just a matter of personal preference [16:58] blackmonk: please pastebin the output of the command "lsb_release -a" in a pastein [16:58] What, how do i get them from one ubuntu to another [16:58] pastebin [16:58] Tuubes: are these the same ubuntu versions? [16:58] bybe [16:58] no [16:58] Tuubes: you reinstall them... [16:58] Built in speakers on laptot acer dont work [16:58] Tuubes: this is not windows where you just copy over the 'priogram files' directory. [16:58] dr_willis i cannot find my internet drive [16:58] ikonia: i dont undertand you [16:58] blackmonk, There should be not much to configure actually, ubuntu is pretty automatic [16:59] hmm .. but i have this problem what can i do [16:59] how do you change your name in this channel? [16:59] blackmonk: open a terminal do you know how to do that ? [16:59] Actually, designing your own shell is the best idea I have heard in a while. You can make it 'Your Shell'. [16:59] user__: /nick Bill_Gates [16:59] user__: :) [16:59] hi goreous-y [16:59] yeah i know but currenlty this is windows machine coz i cant see anything from my ubuntu one [16:59] blackmonk: do you know how to open a termainl [16:59] i tried using my forums name and it said it was taken [16:59] i kno how to open a termina; [17:00] blackmonk, Do you know how to manager software packages ? [17:00] blackmonk: we need to know what version of ubuntu ytou're using [17:00] I have not used Ubuntu for a while, but I am going to read up some. That might make me switch. Thanks. [17:00] ikonia, He said he knows nothing about linux [17:00] Dr_Willis, it's IMPOSSIBLE to find drivers for bipac3011N for linux [17:00] yeah i saw somewhere that to package manager or something [17:00] Good [17:00] Tuubes: you said you got it going befor.. so somthign seems confuseing about your statements. [17:00] Pip: he needs to know what version he's using [17:00] how do I get output from the terminal to save to a file? These outputs are so long they go off the buffer and I can't read the top... [17:00] XGaryG: no worries, have fun [17:00] blackmonk: before we go any further - we need to konw what version you are using [17:00] Dr_Willis I have no internet no matter what ever forever never ever [17:00] so whats the topic of the day? [17:01] At least you need to know how to open a terminal and how to install packages with a GUI manager [17:01] The other one did cos I had a driver for it [17:01] I want that driver here [17:01] ok i have 10.10 one too and same problem goes with that one [17:01] blackmonk: too ? [17:01] so assume i ave a0.a0 xoz i forget the one with 11 [17:01] blackmonk: I suspect you are not telling us the truth here [17:01] there is 11.0 there [17:01] no i tried 10.10 [17:01] blackmonk: what version are you actually USING [17:01] then i tries [17:01] 11 [17:01] Tuubes: You seem to be saying the Driver exists on your Old install but not the new.. how did you get it on the old install... [17:01] but same [17:01] problem [17:01] blackmonk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:01] blackmonk: right, 11 is not supported [17:01] Tuubes: you would reinstall it the same way you did on the old. [17:01] blackmonk: wait for it to become stable, it has bugs [17:01] right now i am using no linux guys [17:01] Dr_willis no idea and nobody wants to help me find it ever forever never [17:02] blackmonk: use one of the stable releases then [17:02] Tuubes: You have no idea how you got it working befor? [17:02] which one you prefer [17:02] Yep :D [17:02] blackmonk, what exactly are you trying to do [17:02] blackmonk: it's what you prefer that's important [17:02] guys i really want to work with linux [17:02] what are we talking about? [17:02] Tuubes: time to start paying more attention i guess.. and take notes.. I would stick with the old install then. and use the new HD as a data drive. [17:02] Hi. I am having a problem with scrolling. Scrolling lags and takes huge cpu. I have tried ff 3 & 4 and chrome. 10.10 with ati open drivers. [17:02] blackmonk: right, so install a stable ubuntu version [17:02] blackmonk: Then do it [17:02] but these little problem they are just so annoying [17:03] user__: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion [17:03] blackmonk: install a stable version and we can help you [17:03] KM0201, the cpu is too hot without being cooled down and brightness of monitor can't be modified [17:03] blackmonk, what is the problem? [17:03] Dr_Willis I have no internet and I can't run ubuntu on the other HDD I just want my drivers :( [17:03] see ikonia i have no idea about linux versions stable or unsatble , the one which will work for me will be fine.. please suggest me one [17:03] Pip, ah ok.. i'd try another linux distro then.. or get a cooling pad. [17:03] Tuubes: you dont just copy drivers from one install to another.. expecially if they are differnt releases.. adn you never mentioned that you cant run the other hdd.. [17:03] oh man [17:04] which ubuntu version is stable [17:04] After I upgrade my ram, what should I upgrade next? [17:04] Dr_Willis if thats true, can you help em find a driver for a "bipac3011N" for linux? [17:04] Tuubes: so you baically need to figure out how you installed them on the old install. and reinstall them again. [17:04] coz i like the interface of ubuntu [17:04] KM0201, Yeah [17:04] km0201 [17:04] Tuubes: check the forums perhaps. that name means nothign to me. [17:04] Built in speakers on laptot acer dont work [17:04] i have brighness problem [17:04] blackmonk: 10.10 [17:04] with my ubuntu [17:04] I did Dr_Willis for hours [17:04] blackmonk, depending on what "interface" you're talking about, there's other linux distros that look just like it [17:04] spacebug i tried that one .. but show problem in my laptop [17:05] TRider what sound config are you using? [17:05] ok i like gnome one [17:05] alsa ? [17:05] just saw this gnome 3 looks really great [17:05] blackmonk: ubuntu doesn't use gnome 3 [17:05] oh i see [17:06] Ill wait for gnome3 service pack 1 [17:06] :) [17:06] so hmm loks like i have to go after fedora then [17:06] blackmonk: use what you want. :) we dont mind. [17:06] so guys according to your experience which one better fedora or ubuntu [17:06] I think theres gnome3 ppa's out there. but ive not trried them [17:07] blackmonk: ive given up on all RPM based disrtos. use what you like. [17:07] ok thanks :) [17:07] which one is easy to learn and use in my case [17:07] go deb! [17:07] Dr_Willis, i tried one a few days ago, and it bricked my install.. i wouldn't use them.

[17:22] Dr_Willis I figuired out what I want [17:22] Tuubes: i am actually.. well.. suprised at that. :) [17:22] Dr_Willis I want to copy EVERYTHING from my old HD to my new one [17:22] Well, there are over 300 distributions out there Anonymoose-Georg [17:22] Tuubes: you want to CLONE the whole install to the new hard drive then?

[17:23] Tuubes: You are confuseing the terms again.... [17:23] Dr_Willis I want everything, including my files, drivers, and everything from one HD to another [17:23] Tuubes: You dont clone to a 'new' install'' you are taking your total drive and just moveing the thing exactly to the new har ddrive... [17:23] Tuubes: you can use dd. or a dozen other backup/restore tools to do that. [17:24] Tuubes: but if your old install does not work.. the new one wont work either.. it will be an identical clone. [17:24] Okay, but I can't boot ubuntu to the HD I want to move my stuff from. [17:24] My old install works, new one sucks [17:24] Tuubes: then you dont want to CLONE the old to a new HD... [17:24] Has anyone sucessfully got dropbox working in 11.04 beta 2? [17:24] Tuubes: Fix the old one perhaps...

[17:29] !ram [17:29] If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [17:29] resident - memory of apps that are being cached.. i think. [17:29] bullgard: only relevant pasted http://pastebin.com/40EPTbPV [17:29] Dr_Willis can I pm as to not flood the chat? [17:30] I tried Ekiga: now my touchpad mouse is not working at all and after connecting USB mobile modem my usb mouse is not working. Please help. [17:30] Dr_Willis: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at sourcefrog.net." [17:30] Tuubes: im going to the store. and im not going to teach you bash basics online here. thers 100's of bash tutorial guides. [17:31] Damnit, so what do I do Dr_Willis, I just want to copy my entire old /home/ folder to my new /home/ folder\ [17:31] Thats all [17:31] bullgard4: perhaps its sourceforge not sourcefrog ? [17:31] Tuubes sudo cp -r /media/whever/oldhome /home/ or somthing like that... [17:32] bullgard4: only relevant pasted http://pastebin.com/40EPTbPV [17:32] After plugging usb mouse nothing is changed in lsusb. [17:32] Tuubes: that wont copy over drivers or system settings.. just your users stuff. [17:32] bbl . gotta run. [17:32] shanttu: I do not know much about ati open drivers. I am sorry that I cannot help you. [17:32] Tuubes: you've been told several times, you just have to be willing to learn for yourself, not just copy and paste commands [17:32] bullgard4: ok. thanks anyway [17:33] if I update to 11.04 (when it's released), will GNOME be purged etc etc... or woññ be recommended clean installation like when GRUB2 was implemented in Ubuntu? [17:33] ThinkT510 please remember ubuntu is for people, the devs say minimal hastle and stuff works out of the box [17:33] s/woññ/will [17:34] Tuubes: given the hassles ive had with windows.. i will stick with ubuntu. [17:34] Tuubes: If you dont want to learn anything.. well... [17:34] Dr_Willis can you just show me a guide for this I'd be happy [17:34] !bash [17:34] Thats it. [17:34] 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 [17:34] In windows this is 3 clicks [17:34] Dr_Willis: I could not copy&paste from Firefox' output. So a typo crept in when I typed. The statement is valid anyway. [17:34] end of start of the stories story [17:35] Hi, i need an advice! I have to choice between 2 modem models: D-Link DSL-2680 and TP-Link TD-W8950ND. People keep telling me to get the 2nd, but without explaining why! Since it costs more than the first one, could someone explain me why? Thanks! [17:35] * Dr_Willis waits while windows tries for the 100th time to install 30 updates.. and fails.. [17:35] bbl. time to get groceries. [17:35] * Tuubes waits while windows can atleast connect to the internet and ubuntu tries.. and fails.. [17:36] i want exim to use my own exim.conf file, but when i create an /etc/exim4 directory containing just exim.conf and start exim, exim complains: "/usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf: Error, no /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, exiting." [17:36] If I download the latest beta, how easy is the switch to stable when it is released? [17:36] is there any way to get exim not to run /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf ? (short of maually editing /etc/init.d/exim4) [17:36] XGaryG: it will update by normal updates [17:36] XGaryG: daily [17:36] the beta often undergoes lots of updates in a short amount of time [17:36] but it's a smaller jump from beta to the release than from the old release to the release [17:36] or is there a Right Way to get exim to use my own exim.conf file? [17:37] XGaryG: i wouldn't recommend it but you can, its better to wait for the stable release [17:37] the main issue with the beta is not that it lacks an easy upgrade path, but that it is in a state of rapid change and isn't really stable [17:38] pattern, there is likely a way, perhaps you can specify your config file on the command line. try man exim [17:38] Seven_Six_Two: it's not really a problem of passing it to exim [17:39] it's a problem of /etc/init.d/exim4 running that update-exim4.conf script by default [17:39] i want to avoid that [17:39] what is that? [17:40] I have a 64bit processor, but it is not an amd. [17:40] hi all, i've install debian on my laptop and I can't connect to internet. I checked /var/log/syslog , there is a line says: no IPv^ routers present. And ifconfig eth0 doesn't show any inet. Can anyone help me, thanks [17:40] XGaryG: the standard is amd64 [17:40] XGaryG: that's fine [17:40] XGaryG: even on intel [17:40] you can't install drivers?

[17:41] hi, how install MySQL-server-5.5.11-1.linux2.6.i386.rpm ? === evilmist is now known as mrmist [17:41] WiPindon: thats an rpm file, ubuntu uses deb [17:42] !alien | WiPindon [17:42] WiPindon: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [17:42] yes [17:42] thanks [17:42] WiPindon: first check if its available in the repos [17:42] !find mysql | WiPindon [17:42] WiPindon: Found: bacula-common-mysql, bacula-director-mysql, bacula-sd-mysql, libapache2-mod-auth-mysql, libdbd-mysql, libdbd-mysql-perl, libmysql-java, libmysqlcppconn-dev, libmysqlcppconn4, postfix-mysql (and 133 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mysql&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all [17:43] Tuubes it's just the copy command in the terminal "cp " [17:43] I think it is all [17:43] k... [17:43] WiPindon: its better to stick to the software in the repos, because its supported [17:43] Soo, how do I know the folder locations? [17:43] ThinkT510 thanks [17:44] WiPindon: np [17:44] Tuubes: where is your old home mounted? [17:44] No idea tensorpudding [17:44] Tuubes: well, do you see your old hard drive? [17:44] Hey guys, FF4 is still not included in maverick updates?? [17:44] Yes [17:44] Tuubes if you can navigate to both folders in nautilus, you can figure out location from there [17:45] nautilus? [17:45] Tuubes: it's probably under the home folder in that drive? [17:45] !ff4 | Krishnandu [17:45] Krishnandu: 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 [17:45] tuubes nautilus is the file explorer [17:45] I see, so I'll navigate to both home folders, Okay now I'm there [17:45] Now what [17:46] Tuubes: you sound like you have absolutely no idea about ubuntu or linux yet you have had installed it before .. ? [17:46] Tuubes: drag and drop them? [17:46] shady [17:46] Tuubes: you select all the files in the old home, drag them into the new home [17:46] need help here please why my laptop connected to my ubuntu cant use proxy server? i have install squid proxy in my ubuntu box [17:46] there will be conflicts, most likely, you should replace them as you want [17:47] tensorpudding, my bad, I had everything in /File System/ I want to copy my old /File System/ to my new /File System/ [17:47] here we go again [17:47] what? [17:47] How is "resident memory" defined in System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes? [17:47] are those /'s for paths or for irc italics? [17:48] tensorpudding: i dont think he has any idea what he REALLY wants to do, considering Dr_Willis has been coaching him for the last hour to no avail [17:48] hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop, my trackpad buttons are acting like the trackpad itself so everytime i move a window or something the windows wander all over the place, how can i fix this? [17:49] is there a specific driver or soemthing [17:49] tensorpudding: he is talking about the root directory (/) called file system under nautilus [17:49] tuubes... in nautilus you can open up 2 file locations by going to view > extra pane. then you can navigate to both the source and destination file locations. from there, you can select all the files you want, right click, then move to other pane [17:50] Back again with a failed text install on an old vaio notebook [17:50] in my opinion, Tuubes has already been told everything he could possibly do .. he still keeps asking.. [17:50] guys I uninstalled google chrome from my laptop, because i would like to reinstall it again because i messed up with one of the settings on it, I reinstalled only to find out that I have the same settings and themes also on it, is there a folder where these are keep even after I uninstalled? [17:50] bullgard4: the amount of physical memory that process and its shared libraries use [17:50] i want to be a developer @ ubuntu what are the preliminary tasks that i have to do?? === cellardoor_ is now known as cellardoor_away [17:51] !getinvolved | subrahmanyam [17:51] subrahmanyam: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [17:51] Anyone know anything about undefined video mode number :314 ? [17:52] subrahmanyam: you might want to try that question at #freenode or #ubuntu-devs as well [17:52] oCean: Is this definition authoritative? [17:52] bullgard4: it's just what I learned years ago [17:53] o [17:53] How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen? [17:53] bullgard4: not sure if ehow.com is authoritative, but: http://www.ehow.com/about_5497321_much-linux-memory-used-process.html [17:54] Anyone know anything about undefined video mode number :314 ? [17:54] oCean: Ah! -- Thank you. So it is possible that for a certain process the larger part of resident memory is taken by shared libraries and not the process proper? [17:55] Jaypro, nope. It says the folder is "private" and I don't have the permission to read it [17:55] bullgard4: indeed it is [17:55] I installed Ubuntu stick and now I cant get into windows without the stick!! [17:56] It keeps saying "cannot find grub" [17:56] is unity designed for netbooks? and if so why's it going on the desktop [17:56] Tuubes: it seems you don't understand what you are actually doing, copying one / filesystem to another is never a good idea and will break things [17:57] I'm 2 min away from taking a table leg to this old vaio. Any suggestions? [17:57] Tuubes well... maybe you're going to have to do it from the terminal. in nautilus, you can find the path of the source and destination. then open up a terminal and type "sudo cp " [17:57] !list [17:57] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ».

It sure sounds like it. === darkcore is now known as Plox [17:59] I am trying to connect to a vpn called vpnreactor and I set it up properly and keep getting a message that says it cant connect because of invalid vpn secrets what does that mean?

I have to choice between 2 modem models: D-Link DSL-2680 and TP-Link TD-W8950ND. People keep telling me to get the 2nd, but without explaining why! Since it costs more than the first one, could someone explain me why? Thanks!

[18:05] does anyone know if there's an ubuntu package that provides the Fatal::Exception perl package? [18:05] ThinT510 I can't find the driver ANYWHERE, it DOESN'T exist [18:05] kyubutsu: I dont know, if I r-install windwos, will it work again? or will it keep booting to grub [18:05] kyubutsu: the problem is brub [18:05] grub [18:05] i have used this command apt-get --download-only install freesweep to get freesweep_0.90-1_i386.deb but i dont know whear it's location [18:06] how do I get the correct version of Wubi?

[18:09] I had done this a few times [18:09] for some reason it messed with the HD [18:09] brightspark: precisely [18:09] why this time, and not the otehrs [18:10] Tuubes: http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/wireless-ubuntu-10-10-help-200738581.html?page=3 [18:10] Do I have to mention, that the mouses themselves are working elsewhere... [18:10] why is it such a trouble to use the usb to boot whichever, i say that makes it for extra security even [18:10] the final page of the ubuntu install used to ask you if you wanted to install a bootloader, now it ust installs it [18:10] kyubutsu: well usb sticks die [18:10] Tuubes: that thread discusses it, not sure where the driver is though [18:11] Hoxx_: you have a date for its impending death? [18:11] kyubutsu: no, but the main thing is I wanted to keep ubuntu on the USB only [18:12] and get into windows noramally [18:12] the simple solution is to fix the mbr if windows has more priority for you, that being said, you will probably lose your ubuntu [18:12] kyubutsu, I wasn't technically supposed to install anything on that machine. [18:12] kyubutsu: even if its on the stick? [18:12] so, xbmc is giving me no end of trouble, it runs really slowly and lags on just about any video [18:12] so, do a normal dual boot installation if you dont want the usb hassling [18:12] any other media center programs for Ubuntu [18:12] Tuubes: comment #14 has a link to the driver [18:12] ikno thanks [18:13] where can i get the source for wubi ?? === piero is now known as Guest19544 [18:13] can i change that wubi according to my wish === Guest19544 is now known as piero [18:14] subrahmanyam, i would google it for you but you should be able to handle that if your a programmer [18:14] hello [18:14] Hi, King.

I need a driver to sis671 because vesa makes browsing the web too tiring. Anyone knows a good solution for me?

[18:18] KabelGuy: do you want a stable install ? === hamiltonham is now known as EOF-sensei [18:18] Hoxx_: boot Ubuntu, install grub to the USB MBR. Then restore the windows boot loader. Then just boot from USB whenever you want Ubuntu. When it's not plugged in, windows boots normally [18:18] piero: get a better supported card is the honest advice, SIS has poor support in Linux [18:19] Hoxx_: follow what bcbc2 suggested [18:19] I don't need a completely stable install, otherwise I wouldn't install beta. [18:19] KabelGuy: then you should know how to install the beta to best suit your needs [18:19] KabelGuy: natty support and question should go to #ubuntu+1 [18:19] ikonia, the only way I can get a better card is getting a better computer. I'm not going to put my notebook in the trash [18:19] Can I just re-install windows? [18:19] Ok. Thanks. :D [18:19] would that do it? [18:20] piero: unfortunately ikonia is right sis has very bad linux support [18:20] piero: you may have to accept the limitations of the poor SIS card, there are SIS xorg modules, but they are very hit and miss [18:20] I got it wokring [18:20] that's cool [18:20] I can go to sleep with a sense of victory [18:21] hardcold_: #ubuntu+1 please [18:21] !yay | hardcold_ [18:21] hardcold_: Glad you made it! :-) [18:21] I figured out how to make é's [18:21] as you've been told before [18:21] thank you [18:21] ^_^ [18:21] Hoxx_: reintalling windows will probably take MUCH longer than fixing the mbr and adding GRUB to the usb [18:21] IdleOne, ikonia: I heard about a mandriva sisimedia driver.

[18:30] done tnx [18:30] tnbx [18:30] tnx [18:31] over and out [18:31] SergioTapia: see the bots response... install unrar or rar [18:31] Phail_Quail: yeah but it's designed for netbookms. netbooks have very different form factor, use cases, and capabilities [18:31] Steve^, if it happens on every boot without interruption by pressing c.... maybe there's a hardware problem [18:32] KINGOFSWORDS, ive always found it easier to use native firefox to get flash, but im pretty sure you cah download the flashinstall.exe from adobe and just run it with wine to get setup [18:32] KINGOFSWORDS: is it 32 bit firefox? [18:32] pfifo it didnt work with installer [18:32] yeh [18:32] For my ubuntu, I can NEVER get flash player archive to install [18:32] policyq, I fail to see why this boxes Unity into a (netbook-only) corner. [18:32] how do i check? [18:33] Jdar2, put flashpayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins [18:33] rumpe1, it's not everytime but it seems very often and it takes forever. I'll keep an eye out thanks [18:33] Ok, But i uninstaled linux anyways, it took put my hole HDD [18:33] hey guys. Can anyone recommend a good tool to manage/administrate users kinda like active directory? I nee to lock down some accounts [18:34] KINGOFSWORDS, that could be a problem to install then most windows software isnt flexible about installing like linux stuff [18:34] Phail_Quail: well maybe i'd be more comfortable if it were designed for desktops or designed for both desktops and notebooks. i mean just one apparent consequence is the constraints that pour into the desktop implementation from the netbook perspective that is a bit of a turnoff, that is the restrictions on configurability. that stuff is sort of necessary for netbooks but not not needed for the desktop [18:34] *constraints [18:34] hmmm [18:34] policyq, This needs to move into #ubuntu-offtopic. [18:34] runawayhacker: lock how exactly? [18:35] Steve^, too shorten the usual checks an idea would be to transfer the stuff you seldom need on an extra partition, which you only mount, when you need it... [18:35] Is there a way to disable all these password prompts. It's my computer, I know what I'm doing. Every time I want to do something it gets in the way. [18:35] Phail_Quail: i agree and i'm here [18:35] SergioTapia, you can ise visudo to edit your sudoers file to not require a password [18:35] runawayhacker: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/27/how-to-lock-down-gnome/ http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/62060 [18:35] SergioTapia, you can NOPASSWD it. [18:36] tensorpudding : not able to view connections, lock out of certain programs, not allowing to change his own password [18:36] SergioTapia, it's called security and disabling is not really a good idea [18:36] policyq, I am there [18:36] This is a VM with snapshots, if I break something I can revert. It's just annoying as heck. [18:36] runawayhacker: http://library.gnome.org/admin/deployment-guide/ [18:36] rumpe1, How dare you!

That's pretty close to whta I was looking for [18:37] runawayhacker: google "lock down gnome" or "gnome kiok mode" should give a few more results [18:37] i'm pretty sure apparmor handles that [18:38] erUSUL yeah. guy keeps looking at porn and slowly keeps losing his priviledges :) [18:39] I am setting up Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Dell insprion and having problems with a pcmcia wireless card from Ralink I can see the card in a dropdown list of networks as disabled.

[20:20] i dont backup vanguard [20:20] KINGOFSWORDS: if you have unallocated space, that is fine, use an external drive otherwise [20:20] KINGOFSWORDS, the gentoo community is composed of some real linux gurus, they probbally modified the wine sources to work better, or used some other tricks. [20:20] I've just updated linux header files and restart and now I have a black screen, but I know apache is running cause I connect to it with another computer. Any help? [20:20] right i have neither [20:20] why on earth would you want to uninstall linux and download windows??? that is just crazy. [20:20] so i cant dual boot then? [20:20] Iv done it before though and i used the software recommended on the site to make it [20:20] cuz a headache to get working [20:20] KINGOFSWORDS: you *might* be able to shrink your partition and create enough space for windows partition [20:21] shrink in gparted? [20:21] So my computer's mic input isn't working. Just trying to simply record something. Any help? Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. [20:21] i need at least 30 gig [20:21] KINGOFSWORDS: might work [20:21] KINGOFSWORDS: if you dont backup.. then your datas aparently not worth keeping.. just delete it.. [20:21] vanguard i only want to install gta4 which is 14gbs [20:21] Dr_Willis, no it says failed to scan device [20:21] Starminn: did it ever work?

[20:21] i have nothing to back up on to [20:22] asdfasdfasdfasdf: no idea then. ive never undeleted from ntfs. [20:22] Dr_Willis, okay thanks :) [20:22] vanguard: Not in Ubuntu AFAIK. Back when I used Windows XP the mic worked, though. Seems like Ubuntu just doesn't know what to do with tit. [20:22] Dr_Willis: I guess he/she has never lost data before ... [20:22] im not just gonna delete everything cuz i have no back up device [20:22] vanguard: yep. [20:22] vanguard: found 3TB external USB on sale the other day for like $130 [20:22] Starminn: try pavucontrol, that did the trick on my Ubuntu 10.04 before. There are two mic channels, one was on 0% for some reason [20:22] vanguard: and now its full. :) [20:23] asdfasdfasdfasdf: it seems to need a device, try this: sudo losetup /dev/loop0 [20:23] Dr_Willis: harddisk prices are just crazy low :D I spent $300 for 500GB in 2007 ...

In my messages file, I see that Kernel logging has been stopped as of apr 3rd.

(syslog pkg isn't installed) - Is it likley just from a restart? Why would it not continue after that time? [20:37] Starminn: hmm, you should be able to use a program like audacity or sound recorder when you tell it which device it should record. Never done that except for Skype [20:37] erealz, whats wrong? [20:37] bonhoffer: good, good.

GParted says it doesn't support LVM's, does that mean I can't delete it to install Ubuntu? [21:10] Why does ubuntu leave a running pid for things like Nano?

I would like to know how it works [21:11] Calif: ctrl + z does not quit [21:11] Is it just a suspend then? [21:11] Calif: crtl + z only stops the app [21:11] Anyone familiar with an issue involving dhcp failure to come up on boot? The fix for me has been to manually restart networking with 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' [21:11] Calif, ctrl+zis a suspend, not a close, you want ctrl+c [21:11] KSHawkEye: the topic in #bash in this network is a fantastic resource [21:11] k [21:12] lemme try it one sec [21:12] KSHawkEye: the bot there knows about this things and many more [21:12] help plz i would like to declare 2 paths in one variable how can i do that ?

[21:14] pfifo, so I can just format it to ext4 and install Ubuntu in there? [21:14] Calif, for nano yes [21:14] o [21:14] Calif: as i already told you; yes [21:14] ah [21:14] erUSUL: ok sorry then it's glob taht i want in my var [21:14] Sorry I just saw that [21:14] Is it possible to kill all the things running in nano at the same time, as opposed to typing kill pid for each pid? [21:14] ubuntu, yeah fdisk mke2fs and such shold all be fine if you dont care about the data and such [21:14] intick: why would you want the glob in a var? do you want the glob or the result of expanding the glob ?

[22:03] <_jay> hey all, is it a known issue that yesterday's kernel update affected wireless cards? Mine has stopped working, using the previous kernel and it works fine [22:03] Hi all, I have a question about the Unity Desktop in 11.04 [22:04] needhelp whith 10.10 and hp 8500 printer [22:05] _jay: Can you be more specific like what your wireless card is? [22:05] I'm running the second beta Cd and the Unity desktop doesn't come up [22:05] jim__: Try asking that in #ubuntu+1 [22:05] wonderstar, just explain the problem and somebody will help you :) [22:05] <_jay> atheros [22:05] _jay: ath5k? aht9k? [22:05] Ok thanks [22:06] <_jay> hmmm where can I locate that info? [22:06] _jay: lsmod | grep ath [22:06] <_jay> ath5k [22:06] any idea with that bluez error? [22:07] i use 8500a wireles. the add printer find a lot of brands but not hp 8500a [22:07] testam3nt: This is of no help.. but I haven't been able to send just 1 file to a cellphone for some time. [22:07] testam3nt: Browsing the phone and sending files that way instead seems to work though [22:08] Diamondcite, hcitool scan and other works [22:08] how do i partition space on hdd when no unallocated space [22:08] KINGOFSWORDS: You can shrink the partitions that are there to create unallocated space. [22:09] KINGOFSWORDS, gparted will allow you to resize the existing partition(s) [22:09] ok [22:09] if your hard drive is totally 100% full.. well... [22:09] KINGOFSWORDS: You probably have to use a live CD [22:09] how do i shrink edbian [22:09] KINGOFSWORDS: click the partition in gparted. choose resize. [22:09] i have gparted installed thou [22:10] wonderstar: That driver might help. It's the official HP Driver http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/officejet/officejet_pro_8500_a909g.html [22:10] KINGOFSWORDS, just a heads up, resizing can take a very long time, you might want to consider doing it overnight [22:10] gparted lets you resize partitons and so on. the task can take some time.. and Hope you have backups in case you have a power failure while its workingf [22:10] KINGOFSWORDS: yeah but you can't edit partitions like / (or any partition that is mounted) [22:10] KM0201: o/ [22:10] well i was up all nite trying to get gta4 on wine so couple more days wont harm [22:10] thanx minimec [22:10] I resized a 3TB partitioon into a 2TB and 1TB - took it several hrs... [22:10] as in 8+ hrs. [22:11] <_jay> Diamondcite: ath5k [22:11] It takes a long time if you're actually moving data. [22:11] perhaps more. I dident pay attention to when it got dine. [22:11] wonderstar: there is a package in the repo too... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hplip&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names [22:11] but i onlyhave 1 hdd..so does that mean i cant shrink it? [22:11] KINGOFSWORDS: meand you need to be carefull.. [22:11] KINGOFSWORDS: It means you need to use a live CD [22:11] ok [22:11] KINGOFSWORDS: live cd makes it a lot easier [22:11] do i click on gparted in live cd or installed version [22:12] KINGOFSWORDS, the livecd is pretty much required for your case [22:12] theres also more updated 'gparted live cd's out there that are not ubuntu. but may be faster in some cases. [22:12] so what do i do now...gparted wont let me unmount [22:12] KINGOFSWORDS: in the live CD [22:12] Theres no point in using a full live desktop if you are just going to run gparted. [22:12] KINGOFSWORDS: use a live CD! [22:13] reboot? [22:13] KINGOFSWORDS: you are on a LIVE cd now? If not.. get one.. [22:13] erm [22:13] You can't unmount some partitions. Like / for example. You have to use a live CD to resize [22:13] u mean installation cd of ubuntu [22:13] KINGOFSWORDS: yes [22:14] KINGOFSWORDS: or a gparted live cd, or any other live cd that has gparted. [22:14] is gparted on the default ubuntu live cd? ive never noticed. [22:14] i have my ubuntu cd in drive [22:14] Dr_Willis: yes [22:14] Is there a way to clear the path valuables I exported, without closing the terminal? [22:14] yes [22:14] so do i have to reboot and go into install menu? [22:14] KSHawkEye, unset i think [22:14] KSHawkEye: huh? reexport the path to be how you want it. [22:15] KSHawkEye: unless you want PATH to be empty.. :) [22:15] export PATH='new/path:here/there' [22:15] KINGOFSWORDS: Are you running a live CD right now? [22:15] KINGOFSWORDS, no dont do the install, just boot livecd and start irc and gparted [22:15] 2 secs [22:15] Dr_Willis: How about the pkg_config_path? If I export another one, does that overwrite any others? [22:17] is there a reason why my MODERN DAY laptop with an i5 430m and 1GB nvidia GTS 360M graphics cannot boot any modern ubuntu livecd? [22:17] it displays the startup logo, then i get a corrupted screen and it freezes there [22:17] do i start gparted from live cd or my installed ver [22:17] Lazure: There is probably a hardware error. Bad ram, bad hdd, something [22:17] KSHawkEye: a variable is not written to some file.. its for that shell. [22:17] KINGOFSWORDS: boot lice cd.. use gparted from cd... [22:17] Lazure: Also, try 'nomodeset' [22:18] edbian > i can boot it if i use nomodeset, but then i'm stuck with ancient 2D-only graphics in very low res [22:18] ok i cant find it on cd [22:18] KINGOFSWORDS: you dont even access the installed system. that would mount it. [22:18] KINGOFSWORDS: open terminal run 'gparted' [22:18] KINGOFSWORDS: open terminal run 'sudo gparted' [22:18] Lazure: is using the optimus thing? automatic switching between then integrated intel and the nvidia card? [22:18] and if i install via wubi, and install the nvidia drivers.. i can boot it with full res, but the BOOT LOGO is text-only and i cannot make it use plymouth ever. [22:18] livecd>pool>main>g no gparted there [22:18] <_jay> any recommendations for calibrating a macbook 1.1 monitor? [22:18] Lazure: disable it and use only the intel integrated card [22:18] erUSUL > no clue, but my BIOS has no option to disable the intel gpu on the i5 [22:18] Lazure: plymouth and nvidia drivers dont like each other.. i just disable plymouth. [22:18] Lazure: Sounds like a driver issue. There are multiple drivers for nvidia. It's a matter of finding the one that is right. [22:18] Dr_Willis: Right, but as far as I know there is only one pkg_config_path and if I export another I need to know if that will replace the previously exported one [22:18] i use the one that shows up in restrictred drivers manager [22:19] the automatic one. compiz, etc will work fine but i get a horrible text-only bootup [22:19] ok done that..now right click and unmount? [22:19] =/ [22:19] Lazure: There are many: [22:19] and livecds can't be used properly [22:19] Lazure: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nvidia&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all [22:19] Lazure: I have to use the nomodeset option for most allof my nvidia cards on the live cds [22:19] KINGOFSWORDS, if its mounted unmount it, it wont let you work with it mounted [22:19] Plymouth is such a pain for very little gain. [22:20] Lazure: afaics nvidia drivers == text boot up. as Dr_Willis says playmouth does not work with nvidia priv drivers [22:20] Dr_Willis > yet it's the default boot splash now, and without it you get a horrible one? [22:20] erUSUL: ah works fine for me now, maybe because i double clic it, but befor i used sh my_script it can be th reason why my script outputs erros [22:20] Lazure: Just don't shut down [22:20] Lazure: i perfer the Text Based boot screen.. [22:20] wont let me unmount [22:20] intick: that's because sh is not bash [22:20] Lazure: the animation - is totally useless eye candy [22:20] Dr_Willis > but it feels so backwards. older versions of ubuntu had animating, nice looking logos before they used plymouth [22:20] intick: #!/bin/bash at the start of scropts [22:20] I just installed Ubuntu Server in a virtual machine and I'm trying to run a django development server in it. I can access the default apache server on port 80 in my browser but I can't access the django server on port 8000. Does anyone know why this would be happening [22:20] KINGOFSWORDS, either you are not running gparted as root, or you are not running a livecd [22:20] Lazure: i disabled those also... [22:20] now it's text only, on a high end system, on a modern version of linux-- but it looks like ancient garbage =| [22:21] intick: either use bash script or ./script with the correct sheebang [22:21] i can't stand using things as if it is the 90s [22:21] i like the eye candy [22:21] how do i run livecd [22:21] Lazure: cli is not garbage! [22:21] * erUSUL likes text only boot [22:21] i just opened the filebrowser [22:21] hi how to make my console move in 3d [22:21] Lazure: when i get 10 sec boot times and 10month uptimes.. i dont care about the boot splash. [22:21] erUSUL: :D that explain my fails ! i was confused, you were very helpful thx guys [22:21] KINGOFSWORDS, generally you put it in your cdrom and reboot your computer, and then perhaps press a key to boot from a cd [22:21] intick: no problem; FYI in ubuntu sh is dash [22:21] ahhh [22:22] i thought someone said not to reboot...i know what u mean now === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC [22:22] so i wont be able to come back into irc until ive finsihed partition? [22:22] erUSUL: thx [22:23] KINGOFSWORDS, the ubuntu live install cd has xchat irc and irssi available [22:23] thanx minimec but i'll try first one first. [22:23] so basicly when gparted is open i select partition and right click>unmount then resize and choose size for partition then wait until done [22:23] why will Ubuntu not recognize any free partition on Dell Inpsiron laptop? How do I make one? [22:24] pfifo i cant connect to net without installing a modeswitch .deb so prob wont be able to come back anyway [22:24] 32 or 64 bit? I've got an i5 PC, using 64 bit windoze. The download screen for ubuntu says '32 bit (recommended)' but also has 64. So... why should/shouldn't I choose 64? [22:25] once partition is done cani boot back into ubuntu to read tutorial..or do i have to install windows 7 first? [22:25] KINGOFSWORDS, the gui is pretty easy to use, it will let you just type in how many GB/MB you want at the end or beginning, you can aldo drag the image around too [22:25] Chzz: If you have 64bit hardware you should use 64bit OS. Ignore that little 'recommendation' [22:25] ok [22:25] Chzz: no reason; choose 64 bits [22:25] conflicting info :-) erm. It's a brand-new PC, BTW, so yes - all 64 bit etc. [22:25] actually i can get on irc and web on my other laptop === jh_ is now known as Guest13372 [22:26] ok. 64. thanks [22:26] Chzz: yep :) [22:26] brb thx for help guys === travis__ is now known as Afteraffekt [22:26] KINGOFSWORDS, you should be able to boot to ubuntu afterwards if everything went according to plan [22:27] windows 7 likes to have 2+ partitions of its own.. :() [22:27] is there some way to put system monitor to the panel in unity, just like it was simple and easy to do in gnome? [22:28] and what is this unity all about? is this gnome or where is it coming from? [22:28] jozefk: ask in #ubuntu+1 [22:28] ok [22:28] jozefk: is an ubuntu development [22:28] Dr_Willis, ive never had that problem [22:28] jozefk: Ubuntu people wrote it instead of using gnome3 [22:29] what's wrong with gnome 3? [22:29] jozefk: That's opinion. The Ubuntu developers didn't like it. I don't really know the details of their opinions [22:29] gnome3 is much different [22:29] jozefk, yeah, and what was wrong with dolby b? ;) [22:30] gnome is gnome. even this unity is very much similar to gnome. only some small changes. replacements and like that [22:30] lies, Unity = Gnome [22:31] jozefk: well they all use gtk but they are different from each other you can't deny that. You can use gnome3 if you want on natty [22:31] * pfifo prepares to see a gunbuntu come out [22:31] hahahaha [22:31] gunbuntu... [22:31] of all things [22:31] GNUbuntu? [22:31] pfifo: already anounced ... [22:31] HA! [22:31] Evildaemon: GNUbuntu == gnewsense [22:32] pfifo: last win7 machine i looked at - was allready using 4 primary partitions. for boot/main/rescue/data - had to delete one even to hasve a place to put linux. :() [22:32] I was kind of kidding........... [22:32] Moobuntu - with Cow themes. [22:32] we're talking about gubuntu (ubuntu with gnome3) not gnubuntu (GNU buntu) [22:32] hey guys....

[22:34] Canonical Live Ubuntu Premium Start [22:34] er [22:35] phoenixsampras: wrong [22:35] a wireless modem [22:35] usb dongle [22:35] sudipta: probably better results in #kubuntu [22:35] well I would pay 300 USD per each copy of UBUNTU i have installed, if the FRIKING SUSPEND and Hibernation could work.... [22:35] * pfifo has the ubuntu OEM liveusb bundle, fresh from p2p [22:36] http://ugr.teampr0xy.net/home-1 [22:36] Whats the consensus on Gnome 3? Worth trying? [22:37] Afteraffekt: Oh definitely worth trying :) (but then again, what isn't worth trying? [22:37] whats the package name [22:37] !ot | Afteraffekt [22:37] Afteraffekt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:37] Afteraffekt: Ive been trying it, I think Im gonna like it [22:39] OT? This channel is OT 90% of the time with questions about partitioning and dual booting and fixing the MBR so Windowns boots. Technicaly thats all OT too. [22:39] Is there a way to make xchat remember all the history in the channel chat - or increase it? [22:39] The channel he pointed me to states for me to come here in the topic lol [22:40] I'm betting a few here dual boot? [22:40] swatto, scrollback lines in the preferences [22:40] !logs [22:40] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ .

[22:41] Microman171: i would use windows ntfs partitoon for media [22:41] hi im back on differnt pc [22:41] erUSUL: That's going to make things a whole lot easier :-) [22:41] Microman171, yeah they support 2/3 but not 4 [22:41] my live cd doesnt have option to try ubuntu..,only instal [22:42] Hello friends. [22:42] pfifo: I will look into that too, because using the whole hard drive from ubuntu would be a good thing [22:42] KINGOFSWORDS, what happens when it starts? [22:43] KINGOFSWORDS: then it might not be the live CD but the alternate one [22:43] the insttall screen comes up and has options [22:44] uhhh yeh its alternate [22:44] whats difference...i thought it just meant alternate server [22:44] !alternate | KINGOFSWORDS [22:44] KINGOFSWORDS: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [22:45] Guys, I have a question about the repository.... I'm programmer and I'd like to create a text-based game (MUD style but single player).... Theres anyway to send the game (source code) to canonical and maybe put my program in the oficcial repository (if its enought good for it)??? [22:45] KINGOFSWORDS, thats not going to have gparted on it, you should get ubuntu 10.10 livecd preferably or any livecd you fell comfortable with and has gparted [22:45] fach, you can atleast create your own ppa for it [22:46] fach: you may package it yourself and set up your own ppa; later you can ask it to be included? [22:46] lol nah i think im done with linux m8...spent way too much time on it...3rd version installed [22:46] fach: ask in #ubuntu-packaging and #ubuntu-motu [22:46] KINGOFSWORDS: it pays to do your reserach first.. have fun. [22:46] thank you [22:46] how do i find out the name of the version of ubuntu I'm running? [22:46] KINGOFSWORDS: with a live cd and a flash drive.. you basically dont even need to install you can run from flash. [22:47] perlmonkey: lsb_release -a i think [22:47] can i not just use another livecd of a older version of ubuntu [22:47] Dr_Willis many thanks [22:47] KINGOFSWORDS: any live cd with gparted should work. [22:47] it wouldnt install from usb dr [22:47] KINGOFSWORDS: theres a specilized 'gparted live cd' thats basically only runx gparted and a few other tools. its like a 100mb download. [22:47] hi, i'm having trouble with Calcurse. it's great but if I exit by closing the terminal window (instead of using calcurse's own Quit option) I don't know how to start it again [22:48] KINGOFSWORDS: you can Install TO a usb flash drive. and use it from there. if the Flash is big enough. :) 8gb+ [22:48] KINGOFSWORDS, if it has gparted YES [22:48] running 'calcurse' again in a new window brings up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/594978/ [22:48] Is there a way to redirect an already running programs output to a different tty? like something running in gnome-terminal -> tty2? [22:48] erUSUL: where can I later "ask to be included"? whats the channel/mail/etc to ask it? [22:48] i have karmic on cd can i use the gparted from that even thou im on lucid? [22:49] IanWizard: that feature is one of the many reasons to use 'screen' [22:49] is there a monitor mode driver for Acer Wlan card Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [22:49] without having access to the terminal that it's running on? [22:49] KINGOFSWORDS: certainly [22:49] KINGOFSWORDS: yes. [22:49] great [22:49] Dr_Willis, man screen I suppose? [22:49] IanWizard: install screen first. :) [22:49] Dr_Willis, ok, :P Thanks [22:49] IanWizard: and you normally start screen first. :) whjat you are asking.. isent going to be doable in most cases. UNLESS you are using screen [22:50] IanWizard: or tmux, or byobu (a screen variant/setup) [22:50] Eliezer, yes ive done airocrack and such no problems on my eeepc 701, it only worked in 802.11b mode however [22:50] fach: really dunno; ask in the channels i mentioned [22:50] thank you, thank you. [22:50] pfifo:) will it work for me ? [22:51] Dr_Willis, a compile job is running on a terminal, but there's a bug with the terminal app, so occasionally it stops redrawing, so I have no way to see the compilers output. [22:51] sup homesez [22:51] IanWizard: use another terminal emulator [22:51] Eliezer, there is an airocrack based livecd out there that i was using, had everything i needed [22:52] pfifo:) jus say a name i get on it ASAP [22:52] IanWizard: try ctrl-l [22:52] hi there [22:52] hey guys someone help me make life choices [22:52] Eliezer, i dont remember, i think it is 'airocrack livecd [22:52] erUSUL, Dr_Willis: I know that I could SIGSTOP it, but I still can't restart it and redirect the output (such as fg > /dev/tty1) [22:52] basically i wan ugh never mind this place has chaaaaaaaaaaaaanged. [22:52] erUSUL, I wan't thinking, or I would have. [22:52] does anyone know if at&t dsl works with linux? [22:52] or per say with ubuntu? [22:53] !dsl [22:53] Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [22:53] Dr_Willis, no (visible) effect. [22:53] hi guys i installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix on my netbook, and its incredibly slow, as well as the fact that unity crashes all the time, and for some odd reason i cant seem to figure out why [22:53] IanWizard: worth a try :) === awol is now known as Guest55096 [22:53] i have a 2 ghz processor with 1 gig of ram [22:53] so it should be running fine [22:53] pfifo:) i got into this problem using an application http://pastebin.com/bmYtT6FY [22:53] Dr_Willis, what's it do? [22:54] IanWizard: redraws tje screen in many apps [22:54] can somebody remind how to ssh without login eveytime? [22:54] apt-get install (any deb package) Err http://archive.ubuntu.com/****:80 failed. Too many open files -> Never saw this one.... nor been able to google this problem. [22:54] IanWizard: like vi, or mc, or many other apps.. [22:54] but its using 80% of my cpu at all times [22:54] phoenixsampras: i do a ssh-copy-id remotebox then dont need to use pass's [22:54] what am I doing wrong when ubuntu grub will not pick up my windows install on a different hd? [22:54] Eliezer, ath5k isnt the right driver, and you have to completly shutdown wireless to use airocrack [22:54] Nick_Meister: Unitin in 10.10 has issues.. its been revamped in 11.04 [22:55] I can only see the icons on the side for a second when something opens [22:55] Dr_Willis: what about ssh menu? [22:55] Dr_Willis, should i install 11.04 even though its beta then? [22:55] phoenixsampras: what about it? [22:55] and can't open the other menus [22:55] Nick_Meister: or wait a few days for it to get released... [22:55] Guest55096: no idwea what you mean by ssh menu. [22:56] Dr_Willis, is there any way to update it to release when i install the beta?? [22:56] like where you get to apps and prefernces [22:56] Nick_Meister: thats how the package manager works. :) or can work.. [22:56] Dr_Willis, you know any thing on why ubuntu grub is not seeing my windows installed on a different drive/partition? [22:56] Sivik: i see that asked in here often enough. thsat i bet theres a HUGE forum thread on that topic. [22:56] helliujah praise the lord [22:56] Dr_Willis, im not sure i follow, i dont want to reinstall everything :S [22:56] got it working [22:56] Dr_Willis, alright. [22:56] Nick_Meister: updateing is basically reinstalling everything.. keeping your settings.. [22:57] Dr_Willis, also i dont think alt+f2 works in the remix [22:57] !yay | KINGOFSWORDS [22:57] KINGOFSWORDS: Glad you made it! :-) [22:57] Nick_Meister: Unity in 10.x has issues.. its been a major (if not THE major) improbement in 11.04 [22:57] alt-f2 works in 11.04 [22:57] KINGOFSWORDS: what did you acomplish? [22:57] pfifo:) jumm using this app is no so simple like i see on hows to online [22:58] Nick_Meister: if you want to try 11.04 then go for it.. file bug reports on bugs you find. :) but dont expect it to be Problem free. [22:58] Eliezer, as with most task the more you know about what your doing the easier it becomes [22:58] nevermind my problem... I am Natty user.. #ubuntu+1 :] see ya [22:58] Guys, what can I do to get my laptop's keyboard working during Ubuntu installation or even while trying it out? [22:59] It\s totally down (the keyboard) [22:59] Dr_Willis, i had bad experience with 11 on my desktop with binary nvidia drivers, it was incredibly slow on the unity [22:59] ls [22:59] Haitham: check the bios. seeif theres a usb-legacgy device setting you can try to change [22:59] Nick_Meister I've been using beta1 and beta2 since they came out, and everything works great for me [22:59] Dr_Willis, even though i have very high specs on it but i also have 2 above HD monitors running in twin view [22:59] Nick_Meister: never noticed. but thats whats beta testing is all about.. [22:59] Haitham: does it work with other distros? (like knoppix, suse,....) [23:00] Dr_Willis: USB? I'm not using an USB Keyboard rather built-in laptop keys [23:00] Unity is really not ideal for dual monitor. setups i noticed. [23:00] Haitham: it may be using the USB ports built in.. [23:00] Dr_Willis, yah, i have 2 very high resolution monitors so my virtual desktop is around 5k so my unity is grinding to a complete halt and unusable [23:00] Haitham: also - does a usb keyboard work? that would be an interesting test. [23:01] how much space does ubuntu install take up? ihave 128meg hdd but says i only have 114.36meg [23:01] Nick_Meister: and you have a nice little easy to get to panel on the far far far left side.. :) [23:01] I don't have any external keyboards at the moment, thought about it though. [23:01] is it not hardware accelerated or something??? [23:01] KINGOFSWORDS: 128mb or 128GB ? [23:01] guntbert: haven't tried yet, but I got Knoppix (live CD) burnt [23:01] I'll give it a test [23:01] 128gb === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [23:01] KINGOFSWORDS, ubuntu is usually pretty happy with 4, but you said you had gta4 installed so it may be alot larger [23:02] KINGOFSWORDS: i would give ubuntu at least 20gb for using it.. depemnds on your needs. === root is now known as Guest96038 [23:02] Dr_Willis, :( if it comes out in a few days and it's still slow its going to break my heart [23:02] 4 gb installed? [23:02] Nick_Meister: file bug reports i guess. or install lubuntu :) [23:02] KINGOFSWORDS: at a min. 4gb installed.. and thats with like no space to do any actual work. [23:02] Anyway Dr_Willis - How can I check BIOS for this USB-Blockage thing? [23:02] KINGOFSWORDS, yeah, thats what it needs, you have GBs to spage so you can give it plenty more [23:03] Haitham: go to your bios settings and look for it. [23:03] Dr_Willis, whats sad is that i have a 3.4gh quad core amd with geforce 9800 that can run two games at the same time maxed out, and yet unity is barely able to do anything [23:03] i gave unallocated 35gb [23:04] Nick_Meister: cant say that i nticed it bneing slow on my 8800gtsxxx but i am only on a single monitor [23:04] Nick_Meister: that thing might be able to actually run Crysis2 :) in low res! [23:04] KINGOFSWORDS, that should suffice, if you really needed to you could always run gparted again to install blackops or something [23:04] ok gparted finished....shall i save file or just close? [23:05] KINGOFSWORDS, you have to save and then apply [23:05] Another question - I'm going for Advanced Partioning - I want to leave some unpartitioned space for Windows later on - how much Space / how many partitions should I create for Ubuntu to run smoothly? [23:05] but where do i save to? [23:05] its livecd [23:05] Dr_Willis, im not very interested in those games, i play either mmos or co-op type things like l4d [23:05] but mostly i use ubuntu for development [23:06] hola [23:06] whats ubuntu use.....could not read dvd..this may be because the DVD is encrypted and the DVD encryption library in not installed...... cant find libdvdcss [23:06] hello [23:06] which is not bueno when i cant move windows without a 10 second lag [23:06] KINGOFSWORDS, it saves it to the partition table, but you dont have to worry about that, just press save and it will do what its supposed todo === fernando is now known as Guest50558 [23:06] ok [23:06] !dvd | TheBuntu [23:06] TheBuntu: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[23:07] ok thanks [23:08] KINGOFSWORDS, im not sure, somewhere in the toolbar should be an option to commit pending changes [23:08] l [23:08] i have a problem, i'm trying to install ubuntu on my hp dv5 2146la, core i5, 4 gb of ram, 500 hard drive, im trying with ubuntu 11.04 B2, im trying with wubi, installing ubuntu inside windows, but when i restart the computer i just get a blackscreen, i press the caps lock button and it works, but the system does not start, please help [23:08] pfifo i pressed green tick button and its done partition already === MetaJake_ is now known as MetaJake [23:09] do i just reboot with windows disc now and let windoze format htfs? and install? [23:09] KINGOFSWORDS, really, you got lucky then. yeah you should be able to use that unpartitioned space to install windows on now [23:09] =) [23:10] KINGOFSWORDS, something finally went your way. [23:10] does anyone know if it is possible to maximize a window to both monitors in a dual screen setup? [23:10] lol yeh [23:10] bozotheclown, it depends n your exact setup [23:11] cant believe im finally going in right direction [23:12] im just running onboard video (Intel) [23:12] nothing fancy [23:13] bozotheclown, there is a bunch of differnt ways X can handle multi monitor setups. I used xxinerama to make one large desktop, not sure if its available in ubuntu [23:13] !info xinerama [23:13] Package xinerama does not exist in maverick [23:13] ubuntu install cd can't see any partitions on my Dell laptop (windows vista installed). Any suggestions on getting Ubuntu to find a partition (or how to create one)? [23:14] i can probably google from there [23:14] i just didnt really know what i was serching for [23:14] all my results were for something else [23:14] MetaJake, windows may be ussing dynamic disks, check in windows to see if this is the case, if so, linux will not be able to modify the partitions [23:15] pfifo thanks for the lead. [23:16] I'd like to synch two directories, laptop and desktop, both running ubuntu. How can I do this? I don't want to use dropbox. [23:16] do i start ubuntu forst then install windoze or boot from cd [23:17] KINGOFSWORDS, you have to insert the windows cdrom and boot using it. [23:17] ok it didnt autostart ..ill try again [23:18] KINGOFSWORDS, im pretty sure it asks you to press any key, if not try holding control [23:18] ok [23:18] mk: Try rsync or unison [23:18] how do I determine what the hd#,# is for the grub for windows on /dev/sdb1 [23:19] erm it ask for any key and then just booted back into ubuntu === Manel is now known as Guest91307 [23:22] how do I play an itunes video link in ubuntu? [23:23] KINGOFSWORDS, im not really sure about windows related tasks. perhaps try ##windows for actual install help [23:24] anyone know how to determine what partition a OS is installed on, like hd0.0 but for /dev/sdb1 [23:24] ok thx pfifo [23:24] Sivik using gparted perhaps [23:25] jayne, that does not tell me what the hd#,# is for grub === syanptic_siX is now known as synaptic_siX [23:25] does anyone know of a good app for controlling fan speed or cpu temp? [23:26] df /boot maybe? [23:26] algaron, still not what I am looking for [23:26] ok sivjakus [23:26] pfifo, suprisingly enough, the disks are listed as basic (not dynamic) in windows disk management tool. .. might you suggest further actions to take, in order to make a partition available for ubuntu's installation cd? [23:26] Anyone uses urvxvt ? [23:27] Pip not I [23:28] metroid1: cpufreq [23:28] MetaJake, and your unable to ssee them in linux? what happens when you `sudo fdisk -l` on the livecd [23:28] itaylor57: it can be used to changed settings? --i thought it was only for monitoring [23:30] there is a nest of wasp in my PC when i boot it they try to attack me, it using 9.04, will upgrading take care of this problem for me? [23:31] pfifo: ask #ubuntu-offtopic, they are expert entomologists [23:31] would anyone be bale to get my wifi working [23:32] metroid1: you can also set different setting irc [23:33] hello all [23:33] got a serious problem...hehehehe [23:33] pfifo fdisk appears to be unavailable from the shell on the livecd [23:34] MetaJake, what is the error [23:34] put Ubuntu on my vista laptop in the same partition and now can only load to Ubuntu.... [23:34] do I totally have to reformat to get windows back... [23:34] :-) [23:35] hello, can some one help me with this, when ever i try to build binutil I get this "http://paste.ubuntu.com/594986/", how would i solve it? [23:35] optidude, 'in the same partiton' doesnt sound good, did you install with wubi.exe [23:35] hello all im trying to create a bridge in 10.10 and am having some problems anybody able to help? [23:35] pfifo: no, i burn the iso onto a cd and booted it [23:36] that sounds like you overwrote the vista install [23:36] it gave me an option to use same partition or create another...and ofcourse i said same...LOL [23:36] hmmmm [23:36] khisanth: really [23:36] yeah that sounds like you over wrote the windows install [23:36] no way to load back into vista [23:36] darn [23:36] i can reformat to win 7 anyway....lol [23:36] SMG1, i dont think you can build binutils with -O2, but i cannot see the actual compilation command you used [23:37] that [23:37] well I haven't looked at the installer screens recently [23:37] I installed a second network card in a 10.04 box and now the first one won't even get a link light. Tried swapping cables and such but only the second card gets anything. Any ideas? [23:37] is a plus lol [23:37] i like ubuntu, but i wanted both [23:37] it could possibly be smart enough to do it without [23:37] optidude, it sounds like you deleted vist and over wrote it with ubuntu [23:37] but in the overwrite case there should have been a warning screen about erasing existing data [23:37] darn [23:37] can i share things from a ubuntu partition to a windows one? [23:37] hmmmmm, must have missed the warning.... :-( [23:38] oh well, cuase i cant bring up vista even with a recovery disk for laptop...LOL [23:38] but for dual boot you wont have to format [23:38] its like its not there [23:38] pfifo fdisk -l dev/hda returns: You will not be able to write the partition table.

Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w( [23:38] pfifo: i just use configure,make and make install, nothing else [23:38] optidude, you actually used my preferd method :D delete windows and install linux [23:39] well, windows 7 with Ubuntu will be alot better anyway...hehehe [23:39] SMG1, yeah thats definatly wrong [23:39] got a win 7 question..... [23:39] Yeah i just formatted my XPS M1730 and put 10.10 on it. The only down point I have is that my battery runs out very fast. [23:39] pfifo:how would i do it? [23:40] do you think win 7 will run a dual core 1.8ghz lap top with 2gigs of ram? [23:40] and built on x3100 intel card [23:40] optidude - Yeah it should [23:40] it's not like vista where you needed a monster machine to get it to run normally [23:40] i get awsome battery life on an acer aspire one, my computer ran for 9 hours before telling me i needed to charge it [23:40] MetaJake, You dont seem to ave a valid partiton table, most likely it is windows doing something non-standard. You would probbally have to completly format that hard drive and reinstall windows, and then install liinux. [23:41] optitude - I have a Dell XPS too and it also has shitty battery life. [23:41] heylookitsbret - yeah my Asus Eee PC 1005PE runs like 14 hours with netbook remix on it [23:41] sorry, I meant @shield [23:41] pfifo, might it be possible to reformat the hard drive. and then install Ubuntu, and then NOT install windows? : ) ... if so... how do you suggest I begin reformatting my harddrive ? [23:41] SMG1, building binutils is not a newby task thats why the makers of binutils wont help people, you really need a good reason to be doing this, what is your intention here? [23:42] hmmmm [23:42] I dunno if it's an issue with the battery cause i've had my system for at least 3 years. [23:42] so you think it will run fine on here? [23:42] becuase I was tired of how slow vista was [23:42] MetaJake, fdisk /dev/sda, new partition table, new partition. [23:42] MetaJake: back up all files you need and during installation delete windows and give ubuntu 3partitions [23:43] Morning, all. I've just built a new computer and am struggling to get the video cards going properly. I'd like Ubuntu to use my onboard video, and also install drivers for my GTX560 but not default to this. Any suggestions ? I'm currently running at 800x600... [23:43] MetaJake: root ~10gb swap ~2 and rest for home [23:43] I can see no reason to have Ubuntu over more than one partition (plus swap) these days [23:43] can someone tell me how to get rid of this, apt-get remove does not work and its says i dont have access to move to trash in the search files http://imagebin.org/148578 [23:43] optidude - it should be. I run win 7 pro on a dual core 2.9ghz with 4 gigs of ram, and no problems. win 7 ran great on my netbook with only 1 gig of ram [23:43] i enabled the Ipv4 tab to share with other computers, but my ps3 is not connecting what else do i need to do to create a bridge from a wireless adapter to ethernet port? [23:43] pfifo:im trying to build gnome-shell and while its building glib, it gives the exact error that i get with binutil, so fixing whatever is causing binutil might fix glib problem [23:43] tawan: it is good to have separate home [23:43] !windows | optidude shield [23:43] optidude shield: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [23:43] shield: win7 ultimate ran great on my netbook as well, i was suprised [23:44] zvacet, unfortunetely I do not see an option during installation at any point to delete windows. [23:44] zvacet: i don't belive that any more. Come reinstall or anything you just back home up. We all have big backup media now... but if you don't then yes [23:44] MetaJake: If you want to reinstall ubuntu without dual-booting windows, choose "use the entire hard disk" when the installer asks you how you want to set up your hard drive. [23:45] Heylookitsbret - same here. I even tried xp, and that ran fantastic as well. [23:45] MIC doesnt WORK!!! [23:45] why?? Bug? [23:45] SMG1, you dont want to overwrite the default ubuntu glibc or other binutils stuff, perhaps It would be better to try to solve gnome-shell problems directly [23:45] Morning, all. I've just built a new computer and am struggling to get the video cards going properly. I'd like Ubuntu to use my onboard video, and also install drivers for my GTX560 but not default to this. Any suggestions ? I'm currently running at 800x600... [23:45] MetaJake: select manual way it should be there [23:45] well, thanks soooo much for all your help...off to reformat to win 7 and find out how to do a good dual boot [23:45] do i install upgrade or custom(says it installs a new copy does not keep file) [23:45] lol [23:46] is there documentation on dual booting both OS's? [23:46] should I put 7 on first, then Ubuntu? [23:46] pfifo:how do i go back to the default binutil version without reformat? [23:46] KINGOFSWORDS, install or possibly customif your feeling lucky [23:46] any suggestions? [23:46] optidude, I'd recommend installing Windows first. It wipes the MBR. If you dump Ubuntu after, you can install grub without issues. [23:46] tawan: why should I back up when I can have separate partition but it is about choice [23:46] shield: i dont care what people say about netbooks, of course im not playing games on it, but they are great [23:46] optidude: put 7 on then the ubuntu installer will smartly deal with it all [23:46] skei: what is grub? [23:46] SMG1, you probbally already have it judging by binutils failing to compile [23:46] Whoops. [23:47] optidude, grub allows you to select your OS when you boot [23:47] well other than custom theres only a upgrade which i dont have [23:47] !grub | optidude [23:47] optidude: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [23:47] Skei - if you go under system > Administration > Additional drivers it might give you the option to install drivers for your video card [23:47] hmmmm, niiiiiccceee [23:47] KINGOFSWORDS, you definatly arent upgrading [23:47] Skei - I just did that this morning, and it installed the correct drivers for me [23:47] will totally do that [23:47] you guys rock [23:47] zvacet: yes, choice of course :) I just see the separate home as a dying choice now and added confusion for new users [opinion only] [23:47] thanks for all the info [23:47] shield ( Skei here ), I tried but it says there are no drivers to use. [23:47] optidude: you can boot isos without the disk with grub too [23:47] custom it is...fingers crossed [23:47] Heylookitsbret - I agree. They are very viable systems for what they are. [23:48] Quentin - What brand of video card are you using? [23:48] anyone know how to run a X server and VNC on a server without monitor? [23:48] coool [23:48] shield, it's an onboard Intel card, and I have a GTX560 also. [23:48] pfifo: i was playing with it and build it 2 times the first being version 21 and the other 16, but while i downgraded from version 21 to 16 it only downgraded 1 of the 2 files, that might be my problem [23:48] tawan: if I can do it everybody can ;) [23:48] I installed a second network card in a 10.04 box and now the first one won't even get a link light. Tried swapping cables and such but only the second card gets anything. Any ideas? [23:48] heylookitsbret: thanks so much...i will do that.... [23:48] thanks so much guys [23:48] going to reformat...see ya in a bit [23:49] good luck [23:49] thanks so much [23:49] hello [23:49] optidude: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%2520from%2520LiveCD thats what i used [23:49] hey everyone I am trying to install ubunti 10.10 and the live disc can see the hard drive, the installer CANNOT, ideas?
