[00:07] Hy everyone, I am looking for the easiest way to share my wired connection by wifi. any idea ? thanks [00:07] my ubuntu box recently responds really slowly to any harddisk access operations like saving a file, ... I was about to run fsck but it alerted the device was already mounted. Are there any other options? [00:07] who ecer just said if im "focused long term , do this... but i dont see it in the chat logs..

(I can read the string when I do a cat on the file, but how do I make that output a variable so I can feed that to echo?) [00:10] Galeon you having crazy connection issues :( [00:10] Hi I cannot enable DLNA plugin on Totem under my user, however if I log in as a different user on the same computer or as root, I can easily do it. I already rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [00:10] Any ideas? [00:10] any idea why I wouldn't be able to see my wireless network with either Wicd or NetworkManager on Ubuntu 10.10? [00:10] kshawkeye: yourvar=$(echo stuff) [00:10] shcherbak, without the command line ? :) I use ubuntu every days, but that kind of thing are easy to do with other OS. [00:11] Sounds like I cannot do it with a GUI ... [00:11] how could I find my dvd drive path to mount it? /dev/??? [00:11] Supm4n: if you don't want to learn to use a command line, don't use Linux. The command line is more flexible than any GUI could be. [00:11] Galeon, i have two folders;- Machine and HardDisk under ,vBox [00:12] Supm4n: What about "Cerate New Wireless Network" in Network Manager panel menu? [00:12] don't delete them [00:12] Supm4n: it is literally impossible to have a GUI for every single configuration option. On Windows, they call those missing options "broken" [00:12] Galeon, what should i delet and what should i keep [00:13] induz, Galeon keeps getting disconnected [00:13] jbeatty, I am not a noob ;) just looking for a tool with a GUI =) [00:13] induz: delete the xml file [00:13] shcherbak: Hmmm, perhaps I didn't make that clear enough, I need to make the output from cat the variable, so that I can use that variable with echo. Make sense? (if cat reported 123, I need to make var1 equal to 123, so I can use it with echo) [00:14] amin_: eject -v ?

[00:16] induz: i guess it's an old configuration file [00:16] induz: You may try renaming it by removing -prev, then check if VBox will work [00:17] how could I find my dvd drive path to mount it? /dev/???

[00:20] induz: you may delete those *.xml and *.dat files, VBox will recreate them [00:20] <_Neytiri_> yes i am sure [00:20] induz: delete VirtualBox.xml, then rename VirtualBox.xml-prev to VirtualBox.xml [00:20] hi, i have a pc. i dont have cd drive, and it doesnot seem to boot from usb.

Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [01:45] DasEi: but when I run that command, it states that it is installed on sdb1 [01:45] mookie: live cd or a vm [01:45] DasEi: grub-probe -t device /boot/grub states that grub is installed to /dev/sdb1 [01:46] live cd [01:46] well its substancial ZykoticK9 ..LOL they added support for alot of printers :) [01:46] oh well [01:46] hal: sudo grub-install /dev/sdb [01:46] !who | mookie [01:46] mookie: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:46] DasEi: that will install it to the mbr won't it? [01:46] mookie: d/l it, burn a cd , and boot from it [01:46] hal: yes, sir [01:47] why is 2d font more clean with dedicated video card [01:47] clear [01:47] ? [01:47] hal: windows usually installs their boot loader on a partition, i think thats how you can make grub multi boot linux and windows [01:47] dasei iwant to try not install [01:47] hal: if grub is on sdb ofc :) [01:47] mookie: so that's one (unconvienant) way [01:48] I see zeracca - I am starting to realise that the mbr is the best way [01:48] !virtual [01:48] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [01:48] mookie: ^ [01:48] linuxmonkey, you could check for a PPA if the manual installing from web site is a bother (i haven't checked if it's included in a PPA) [01:48] hal: yeah :) [01:48] ZykoticK9, its not a bother just a suggestion i was makin [01:48] mookie: if you use such as virtualbox, will get better performance [01:49] Hello. [01:49] dasei when i booted up i was as k to put in a sudo command [01:50] mookie: booting a live cd ? a sudo -s makes you root on live [01:50] dasei ok [01:50] DasEi: i didnt have pulseaudio module jack installed, so i did and its the same [01:50] mookie, livecds are very slow... [01:51] ok thanks zeracca and DasEi for your advice so far - rebooting... :) [01:51] what do you think is better xubuntu or lubuntu [01:51] mookie: xubuntu [01:51] mookie, what do you think is better apples or oranges [01:51] mookie: depends on purpose [01:51] ZykoticK9: apples [01:51] xubuntu is supported here. lubuntu is not. so yeah. [01:51] that would depend on whether you prefer xfce or lxde [01:51] rww, i agree ;) [01:51] rww: hehe [01:51] ZykoticK9: oranges [01:52] i mean apples are ok too [01:52] ZykoticK9, Banana's [01:52] but oranges are high in vitamin c content [01:52] I am back [01:52] dasei substitue for windows period [01:52] and you can keep the skins for perfume [01:52] I want to run Vbox on macbook with patnther on it is it possible [01:52] mrdeb, but banana's are high in Potasium === pfi is now known as \forgotten\ === \forgotten\ is now known as \aameeting\ [01:53] mookie: lubuntu is made for low graphical specs, so if machine is capable use just ubuntu [01:53] thanks rww [01:53] induz, i believe that is a violation of Apples user agreement and thus not supported... [01:53] induz, if you mean running OSX inside the VM and not on OSX === \aameeting\ is now known as pfi [01:53] mookie: really, things like virtualbox or vmware are great for trying distros [01:54] DasEi: this is what i get when i run "sudo apt-get install linux-headers" http://pastebin.com/ZyWk4pH3 [01:54] thanks dasei [01:54] mookie: basically you can mix almost everything === claudio is now known as botinha [01:54] got you [01:54] mookie: the core is always same, but not the used libs, apps and surfaces [01:55] im gone thanks for info [01:55] np, have fun [01:55] mokie stole my smart guy :( [01:55] I recently updated to 11 with update-manager -d...and it failed somehow durring install, but couldn't cancel itself or something? anyway, in 11 now...but when i try and install stuff i get an error about the kernel not being configured or something... [01:55] hal:: worked ? [01:55] DasEi: zeracca thank you for all your advice - it worked :) [01:55] rojikku: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks!

[03:07] AndroUser: this isn't really the channel for that question i think [03:07] !dev [03:07] Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [03:07] AndroUser: hmm [03:07] mickster04: i fi understand correctly, he's just trying to figur eout how to start the app, becuase i didn't go into the menu?,.. i dunno.. it makes my head hurt thinking about it. [03:08] KM0201: it sounded to me like the image wouldn't show, not the item [03:08] mickster04: i dunno, maybe ;-| [03:09] yes in terminal.i will check the dev website [03:09] AndroUser: http://mono-project.com/Community#Chat_.2F_IRC [03:10] yes i mean the item would show.but the image beside the item would not show [03:11] DasEi, are u familiar with the nmap traceroute? [03:11] aaron_wayne: nmap and traceroute are two different commands [03:12] DasEi, when i just type nmap it shows me there is an nmap --traceroute command, what is that, cause it definately aint a regular tracert [03:12] DasEi, or dont look like it to mee [03:13] thank you for giving me the momo irc. :) [03:14] aaron_wayne: http://nmap.org/book/man-host-discovery.html [03:14] Hello everybody [03:14] I could use some help.

[03:15] in alsamixer it says the db is 0 at max [03:15] I want the whole system volume up [03:16] Ash_:it's ubuntu here, there is gnome-volume-control, ask for the corresponding app in #kubuntu, [03:17] i used gnome-volume-control to bring it to 150 but it doesn't seem to help [03:17] btw sorry for posting here no one is responding on kubuntu [03:18] Ash_: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and official derivatives. Here is fine :) [03:20] * wcchandler The few perks of working in hardware testing -- a server I'm working on has 320 cores and 6.122 TB of RAM... [03:21] * zakwilson could put that machine under heavy lode for short bursts, at least. [03:21] s/lode/load/ [03:21] here is a warning I get from terminal when I try to run gnome-volume-control ** (gnome-volume-control:6036): WARNING **: Bad setup, install the freedesktop sound theme (gnome-volume-control:6036): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed [03:22] I need to clean my hard hat [03:22] question: 10.10 installer sees my SSD (via fdisk, and visible under /dev/) but the installer wont allow me to install to it? [03:23] in the installer I can set it as the boot device, but cannot specify the device to install to === matt_ is now known as LinuxHack3r [03:23] Hi all! Quick question: I would like to create another partition to test other distros and was wondering how to protect GRUB so it doesn't get overwritten everytime. === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax [03:23] Techtock: instead of full installs to test.. install virtualbox and then you won't have to worry about it. [03:24] Techtock: As long other distros using grub2 it do not matter. [03:24] izinucs, I would do that, but I'm on a netbook with very low resources. [03:24] I just completed my first ever build. I have an i7 2600k, 8600gt, 8gb g.skill ram, lots of fans, 3 sata hard drives. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 fresh after build, and now I'm having random program restarts/system freezes. I mean, more freezes within the last 2 hours than my other 5 years of linux combined. Any suggested culprits? I have a 600w PSU. I'm afraid that it isn't enough. Where should I start? [03:24] Techtock, reinstalling Grub from your chosen distro is probably your only option - i currently hate any distro still using Grub1 for the reason it overrights grub and can't find other distros installed. [03:25] Techtock: You could always tell the test distro to install grub to the test partition instead of the mbr [03:25] Techtock: ah..ok. then a multiboot it is.. keep in mind that the last os to install will take over grub [03:25] Note it only freezes/restarts programs when I'm doing something intensive, like encoding and listening to music. [03:25] 10.10 installer not allowing me to select /dev/sda as install location, but I can set it as boot loader location. [03:26] scapegoat, you can't install anything (other then MBR) to /dev/sda - you need a partition, ie /dev/sda1 [03:26] yes, I have /sda1 as /boot and /sda2 as / (root), it's an SSD [03:26] Ash_, so do as it say's and install the freedesktop-sound-theme [03:26] LinuxHack3r: 600 watts should be enough [03:26] ZykoticK9: I manually created partitions on the drive, yet the installer still cannot see it [03:26] LinuxHack3r: test your memory [03:26] izinucs: Well I am going crazy...I've been up for about 30 minute sthis time, just writing a paper for school. But I am sure that if I start something heavy it'll crash. [03:27] scapegoat, that i cannot explain. good luck. [03:27] taglass: In my bios? I will. [03:27] no from the grub boot menu [03:27] anyone knows if is there anyway in which I can record /dev/videoX with two instances of ffmpeg (or vlc, mplayer, etc) at same time? [03:27] LinuxHack3r: have you done all the updates? [03:27] is there a way that I could install ubuntu on a usb external harddrive and make it so that it won't ruuin the grub menu? [03:27] izinucs: taglass I've been getting "too many connections" on boot (while booting). I found a lot of stuff on google, but no answers. Any ideas? [03:27] izinucs: Yes [03:27] I need to stream and save localy [03:27] i have a dual boot and the kernel image are stacking is it possible to delette old kernel image to have a grub start with less choice?? [03:27] LinuxHack3r: sorry I don't [03:28] LinuxHack3r: not a clue. I just know RAM can be bad when you buy it. Always check RAM and cooling when you get weird crashes like that. [03:28] brewster, yes, the installer gives the option to move the Grub install to the external USB (instead of the MBR), but be careful. Best of luck. [03:28] laumonier: yes through synaptic [03:28] taglass: So if it is bad ram, I'll have to RMA won't I? I am entirely open to the idea though of my not knowing what I'm doing. First biuld. [03:28] ok [03:28] and through the shell is it possible? [03:29] ty [03:29] taglass: How long would 8gb of ram take to test in BIOS? [03:29] Hi all!! I am having issues installing 10.10, my CD stops right after the install screen. Please help :) [03:29] LinuxHack3r: Yeah you'll have to return it, and it will take a pretty good while [03:29] laumonier: yes use aptitude [03:29] laumonier, you can search for linux-image to get the installed kernels, after uninstalling the unwanted ones don't forget "sudo update-grub" [03:29] LinuxHack3r: I'd do it overnight === Ayrton is now known as court_jester [03:29] taglass: Ok, just wondering, because I have to finish this paper. [03:29] with apt-get ????never used aptitude [03:30] LinuxHack3r: Should probably just limp along as best you can and check the ram tonight. [03:30] laumonier: aptitude is a curses based "apt" [03:30] taglass: And oh yeah! I remember, when I killed X/gdm to install my nvidia driver, when I ran the ./Nvidia**.sh command, the first two times I tried I was getting some sort of "fault" error or so. Suggests ram I suppose doesn't it? [03:30] laumonier, apt-get will work fine [03:30] Hi, I am having some trouble trying to port forward my home ubuntu server for free through dyndns.com. can anyone please help? [03:30] You can use the same swap partition for different distros, correct? [03:30] taglass: I think I remember seeing the word "segmentation". [03:30] Anyone know why my CD drive spins down and stops when I am trying to load the live cd?? Thanks for your help :) [03:31] LinuxHack3r: Sound like it, but then again you said problems only show up under load which suggests heat. [03:31] Techtock, yes - i do it regularly [03:31] Techtock: yes [03:31] Okay, thanks guys! [03:31] taglass: Well, lm-sensors doesn't detect me newer motherboard, any ideas? [03:31] Techtock, yes, an with win too [03:31] how can I read a device (/dev/videoX) from two apps simultaneously?? plz help [03:32] taglass: First time I ever set a CPU and heatsink, I am open to admitting I did something wrong. [03:32] LinuxHack3r: reboot and look at the temps in bios after it gets unstable I guess? I mean it's not going to be accurate, but it should be close enough. [03:32] taglass: I tried, 50*C....I guess in the freeze/reboot it cools pretty quick? [03:32] I had to wait for the linux guys to include sensors for my motherboard. You may have to do the same [03:33] Re-asking: 10.10 installer wont allow me to install to any partitions on /dev/sda, but can set it as the boot loader location. [03:34] scapegoat: install or mount? [03:34] fbdystang: I can't set it as the install location [03:35] is it formatted as ext4? [03:35] KM0201: just sayin hi [03:35] sda1 is ext2, sda2 is ext4 [03:35] trihope: greetings and salutations... :) [03:35] I've tried manually removing and re-creating partitions without success [03:36] I'm envisioning a flash replacement. What are the difficulties with extracting the video out of a .swf then playing the video with a more efficient player? I can play 420p vids using VLC smoothly using the lowm power on-chip GPU of my Intel Atom Core 2 Duo. Yet when I Hulu, it's like a fast slideshow. [03:36] it allows me to use the sda device as the boot loader location, but installer wont let me select it to install the OS to [03:37] sorry man that's out of my expertise :( [03:37] Oh. 480p. heh, the date is throwing me off. [03:37] taglass: Just a thought, since I seem to be able to get the issue to present itself quickly (within 5 minutes), wouldn't a check at the BIOS level of memory present itself just as quickly? === Icaro is now known as Guest70198 [03:40] anyone familiar with gkrellm [03:40] ???

It is just strange, it was working a few days ago... [04:22] mickster04: The only difference is that I'm on 10.10, not 8.10. Unless the fix was specifically for 8.10. [04:23] Osmodivs: is everything set properly in Sound Preferences, to use the sound card, and not the onboard [04:23] HighFiveGhost: well what as the fix? [04:23] KM0201, I have even tried different combinations in the sound manager, like Analog Stereo Duplex in HARDWARE, and Analog Output/ NO Amplifier in the OUTPUT, but no,no sound at all [04:24] hmm [04:24] I know [04:24] I am starting to beleive something is wrong with my PCI, because Ubuntu knows the sond card is there [04:24] hey people [04:25] Hey Slugma [04:25] just wondering - how do I get to memtest from the 10.10 cd?

[04:26] something like sysv-rc-conf? [04:26] 1) internet 2) cd's [04:26] KM0201, Well, the other strange thing is that the files wont open in TOTEM, I have to open them with right Mouse Button and choose VLC [04:26] mickster04: I honestly don't see anything. I've seen that formatting can help with the problem. But I can't copy files from my psp... [04:26] Success: Those are just nouns. [04:26] Perhaps a messed up ALSA driver?

After the CD has been booted. It is in a pretty gui.

It's not very low level though [04:39] darn it! [04:39] so i have to look into every file i want to disable? [04:39] any posts on this I have not found info anywhere yet [04:40] bubbles|: it gets easier in natty, you can add .override files that contain the word manual to stop a service from starting automatically [04:40] when i use additional drivers app what directory does it look in?? [04:40] bubbles|: for now yes, I stumbled about this a while ago, too, chkconfig still works on some things, though [04:40] natty?

Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [04:40] well, i'm still on 10.04 here :x [04:41] lewis_: What app are you talking about? [04:41] is there at least a way to get structured output from initctl list? [04:41] additional drivers under system admin [04:42] lewis_: It isn't looking at drivers that are stored on the system. It is basically using a list of drivers that are 'known' for the hardware in question. The drivers are most likely in the repos. Not actually installed. [04:43] lewis_: Typically for any device there are 2 or 3 drivers. 1 proprietary, 1 open source that use advanced features, one open source that is very basic and works in a very simple way [04:43] has anyone here ever installed gazelle onto a Virtual private server? [04:43] lewis_: That app shows you how to use the proprietary driver [04:43] lewis_: What device are we talking about here. What are you trying to do?\ [04:43] udev is being used for upstart to manage the events? [04:44] ok i have a trident driver that is in the download section that i need to install [04:44] lewis_: ok? What is a trident driver used for? [04:44] lewis_: Just click it in that app to install and use it. The app makes it fool proof I think [04:45] at this moment i have 3" black space around the desktop [04:45] lewis_: What is the trident driver used for? A graphics card? [04:45] I click the app and it saysthere is none avalable and it is empty [04:45] * Unknow YA vuelvo, iré por mi otro Sistema Operativo. [04:45] lewis_: I'm not sure then. [04:46] this driver is used for my monitor [04:46] edbian: triden is a very old (and probably obsolete) video card [04:46] trident* [04:46] lewis_: good luck with that [04:46] MaRk-I: thanks [04:47] thanks a lot ha ha [04:47] bubbles|: upstart manages its own events, but there are bridges that create events from other sources, such as the upstart-udev-bridge [04:47] lewis_: If you downloaded the driver, you have to install it yourself, read the "readme" that comes in the file [04:47] lewis_: it won't appear automatically in the extra drivers thing just by downloading it [04:48] hay alguien [04:48] ok i will look again but i didn't see any [04:48] trism what does udev do? is it just for hotplug (as in hotplug for usb-sticks)? or other things too? [04:48] ok how do i get it over there to be able to use it [04:49] lewis_: you can't, you have to either compile or run the file depends on how it's made [04:50] hey guys [04:50] who uses ubuntu and debian [04:50] what's the terminal command to display network information? [04:50] spanish [04:51] i use ubuntu and most of the peeps in #debian use debian.

[04:57] mickster41 lol i once deleted ubuntu on my pc cause i thought it was something else. i only noticed when my menu bar stoped working.

Gnome 3 is not gnome shell. [05:20] that screenshot looks horrible [05:20] __mikem: What is the difference? 11.04 has gnome shell? [05:21] <__mikem> napster quite frankly, the design of gnome shell in gnome 3 is considerably different from gnome shell in that picture [05:22] __mikem: I didn't get the real point! What is the differences between GNOME 3 and Gnome shell? [05:23] <__mikem> napster gnome-shell is just the activities menu and a replacement for gnome-panel. Gnome3 inclues a new winow management program, built in compositing (not metacity), and a whole suite of other things [05:23] anyone got any other alternative to smuxi/xchat/quassel? say, is there no really good irc client for linux out there?

See also !Kopete [05:25] __mikem: What is the package name? And how to get it running by default? [05:25] <__mikem> napster the problem is the version of gnome shell that is in the ubuntu repositories is an old beta build that doesn't even resemble the release version [05:25] <__mikem> napster apt-get install gnome-shell === Guest70198 is now known as Icar0 [05:25] Rubysea: I'm not too much a friend, the real question ? (yes, it works) [05:25] DasEi yes but pidgin is a instant messenger and i think the irc part is not very enhanced [05:25] __mikem: Is there any testing PPA for gnome shell? [05:25] <__mikem> napster none that i could find [05:25] freaky[t]: well supported, lots of plugins [05:26] <__mikem> napster I was looking for one the other day [05:26] DasEi: well i wonder what the heck is going on it keeps not downloading right [05:26] Rubysea: natty ? [05:26] how do i install xorg with a specific driver? [05:26] __mikem: ok, and the other fact is that GNOME 3 bundle gnome shell instead of panels by default. right? [05:26] Begging pardon, but what port does svn usually try to go through? [05:27] Rubysea: which ubuntu version do you use ? [05:27] android is suppose to work nativity right? [05:27] <__mikem> napster yes. Gnome 3 completely does away with gnome-panel, metacity, and replaces them === Canon is now known as Acid190 [05:27] with ubuntu 10.10 [05:27] Daseiwas trying to download the latest with my win 7 laptop [05:28] Dasei: I was trying to download the latest with my win 7 laptop [05:28] __mikem: Thank you very much mate. That was crystal clear :) [05:28] <__mikem> napster :) === asidjazz is now known as acidjazz [05:28] Rubysea: I'd rather recommend you virtualbox and current lts, so lucid, wait another 2 weeks for natty [05:29] !lts [05:29] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [05:29] <__mikem> http://www.gnome3.org/ <-- napster have a look at this [05:29] anyone? [05:29] __mikem: ok [05:29] Rubysea: ruby likes to break on fragmenting ntfs partitions [05:30] DasEi: ok sweet i will check it out [05:30] Rubysea: wuby likes to break on fragmenting ntfs partitions, hehe, funny typo [05:30] keidori: If you are referring to ADK, no [05:30] keidori: You can download it, and run directly [05:30] DasEi: yeah i noticed [05:31] napster: no just getting ubuntu to mount the sd card on my samsung intercept [05:31] !virtual [05:31] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [05:31] napster: its starting to drive me crazy [05:31] Rubysea: vmware and virtualbox are easiest to set up in win , I think [05:32] * __mikem wonders if parallels is available on linux [05:32] DasEi: alright I use ubuntu at work a lot but i like my windows 7 pc alot cause of games and word and what not [05:32] napster: is there a command to see if ubuntu sees the droid? [05:33] __mikem: possible, but not free [05:33] keidori: AFIK, You need android SDK to do so [05:34] <__mikem> DasEi okay, well if you want to be able to run other linux virtual machines with support for hardware acceleration, parallels is the only vm free or for pay that can do it [05:34] napster: thanks ill try that === stephen_ is now known as smw_ [05:34] * __mikem is running ubuntu in parallels on his mac with full support for wobbly windows and nifty shadows :D [05:35] __mikem: nah, there had be efforts in vmware, but also not free, without that vbox ist my choice for private use [05:35] <__mikem> DasEi vmware does not support hardware acceleration in linux guests, and while virtualbox does, its very unreliable (atleast in my experience) [05:36] xen is also said to give good performance, but the setup isn't a drive-by [05:36] <__mikem> never used xen [05:36] <__mikem> if you can get 3d acceleration in xen then I stand corrected [05:36] __mikem: there was a change in vmware ~3/4 year ago [05:37] <__mikem> no, because I have a copy of vmware fusion 3 which I bought with my own money. There is NO support in vmware for 3d acceleration on linux guests [05:37] <__mikem> if you try to sk vmware why they don't support linux 3d acceleration, they tell you that microsoft windows is the best OS ever and linux is not worth the precious time of their 2 bit developers [05:38] <__mikem> so screw vmware [05:38] __mikem: rather a talk for #linux; http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_vidsound_d3d_enabling_vm.html [05:38] <__mikem> sorry [05:38] <__mikem> DasEi right on the first line it says it only works on windows guests [05:40] just wonder if it is useful to build a personal cloud? I just read a magazine about eucalyptus [05:40] slimrat-nox 1.0-1 on Ubuntu lucid gives errors om megaupload.com and won't download the files http://pastebin.com/5TqFQGx5 [05:40] There's nothing like readyboost or eboostr for ubuntu is there? [05:41] DrManhattan: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/ubuntu-readyboost-for-desktops-and.html http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=395435 [05:41] thank you [05:42] um no, using it for swap isnt that at all [05:42] nox-error: It is useful if you are at two locations at times. Or if you would like to collaborate with other people. [05:43] nox-error: just use ubuntuone, if amount of data is small [05:43] bullgard4: What are you talking about? [05:44] DasEi: I'm downloading, not uploading. [05:44] edwinkcw: It is useful if you are at two locations at times. Or if you would like to collaborate with other people. [05:44] bullgard4: two locations mean? [05:44] nox-error: I directed my message to the wrong nick. My apologies. [05:45] I see. [05:45] nox-error: bullgard and me missed your nick with edwinkcw, sry [05:45] edwinkcw: For example Berlin, Germany, and Hamburg, Germany. [05:45] anyone know how to re-install kernels of a /boot partition, from within a live cd? [05:45] But, if I have a server, why I need to build a cloud? I can access the server directly. [05:46] anyone know how to install project gazelle on a VPS using ubuntu? [05:46] edwinkcw: I f you have a server serving you in Berlin and in Hamburg as well then you'll need no cloud. [05:47] japtol, it does not have instructions? [05:47] DrManhattan: How is ReadyBoost different from putting a swap file on a flash drive? [05:47] bullgard4: ok [05:47] plum: yes , a chroot and some other dirs are necessary there: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1641599 [05:48] Jordan_U, plz use google. that's pretty basic [05:48] edwinkcw: Do servers share same task? Or mirror? [05:48] japtol, gazelle is just a standard php website. It should be easy to install [05:48] mirror [05:49] shcherbak: mirror [05:49] shcherbak: in fact, I still don't understand how cloud computing work. I just think this is a concept. [05:49] How can I make an Ubuntu VM that can be run in Windows directly from a USB drive? For use at public computers with restricted permissions [05:50] edwinkcw: Some people saying that "cloud" is just marketing term, me dunno. [05:50] edwinkcw: cloud computing is a fancy name for client-server [05:50] DrManhattan: I've read the wikipedia article. What do you think is missing from the solution of putting a swap file on a flash drive? It can be encrypted and compressed. [05:51] edwinkcw: Cloud computing is the idea of provisioning computer resources on demand to deal with the current load/traffic/whatever. [05:51] Jordan_U, readyboost is not swap. It is disk cache. [05:52] edwinkcw: For example, I know of several websites that use Amazon AWS and add or removes instances as needed to deal with changing traffic demand. [05:52] DrManhattan: Swap can be used for disk cache. [05:52] * DrManhattan shrug. Not readyboost. [05:52] DasEi: thank you :) i'll check that out [05:52] edwinkcw: The difference from the "traditional" client-server model is that adding a new server on a traditional system generally takes a bunch of setup time. Cloud computing allows you to do it in minutes. [05:53] hi [05:53] rww: yes, I know that also. But if I have a server, I don't need to borrow service from others, right? [05:53] not really up to discussing readyboost beyond knowing if there's some sort of disk caching program like eboostr available for linux [05:53] plum: ask if unsure, the last post sums it up well [05:53] extraclassic: Thanks for the tip.. cleaning them up now... btw, how does Grub get updated re these changes? [05:53] my ubuntu automatically locks the desktop, how can i change this_ [05:54] rww: it seems that cloud computing is to use resource from others when the traffic is high. [05:54] sudp update grub2 [05:54] ^sudo [05:54] edwinkcw: That's one popular use of it, yes. If you don't need that, then you don't need it ;) [05:54] thanks.. [05:54] i have a weird problem, since yesterday, i am not able to turn on the wireless switch on, on ubuntu i get this message: " wireless is disabled by hardware switch" , but tried turning it off and on, and still it keeps showing that message, and when i boot into windows, it also starts disabled but i switch it on and off and on again and the wireless works, but not on linux [05:54] I am trying to change my capslock key to control with the xmodmap command. in older versions of ubuntu I put it in the .xsession. this is not working in 10.10. how do I do this? [05:54] bonez2046: sadly the howmany option isn't in grub2 no more, but if you de-installed kernels, an sudo update-grub will get it [05:55] DasEi: my livecd is from like ubuntu 9.10 or so... to download the kernels for ubuntu 10.10, how would i do that? cause the post on there says change my /etc/apt/sources.list [05:55] If you don't need that, then you don't need it ;) [05:55] do you know how i can do that? === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:55] plum: you do not want to change your sources.list to another release [05:55] ^^ Need to add it to fortune. [05:55] bonez2046: When a kernel package is installed or removed "update-grub" is run. [05:55] uh oh. okay [05:56] plum: Why do you want a 10.10 kernel? [05:56] my ubuntu automatically locks the desktop, how can i change this so it will not lock automatically? [05:56] rww: I just wonder if it is useful for me to build a cloud. Maybe I just want to play around it XD === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest59793 [05:56] plum: make sure the distro AND the architecture matches, you could use another sources.list, though, but on a live that'll reall stress your ram then [05:56] smw_: my ubuntu install is 10.10 but my live cd is 9.10... i'm trying to reinstall my kernels to my /boot partition [05:56] Jordan_U, yes [05:56] hey im noticeing something strange. Iv got an ati card ( I know ati is not as good as nvidea when runing linux) but when i install the driver the driver uses almost half or more of my ram. the gard works better with out it! what shuld i do? [05:56] ribot: Screen Saver > untick Lock screen... [05:56] 'lo [05:56] card* [05:57] does anybody here know about Ubuntu 10.10 on a Macbook Pro 7,1? [05:57] plum: other question: does the system not boot with current kernels ? [05:57] Jordan_U: thanks, I was unaware [05:57] bonez2046: You're welcome. [05:57] ribot: it is under screensaver settings. [05:58] I'm having trouble with the Airport Extreme(Broadcom) wireless for Kismet [05:58] plum: ah, what I would do is chroot to the local machine and then reinstall the kernels [05:58] ribot: System > Preferences > screensaver un check the lock screen option [05:58] <__mikem> Airport Extreme is broadcom, I thought it was apple [05:58] DasEi: my /boot partition is corrupt thanks to gparted unfortunately [05:58] thanks MaRk-I [05:58] guys can anyone tell me how to get back the internet connection applet in Ubuntu 10.10? [05:58] and smw_ and shcherbak [05:58] it is apple... I installed ubuntu on my macbook [05:58] smw_: can you explain how to do that chrooting into it? [05:59] plum: tried to fix it with fsck and re-checked the uuid's ? [05:59] and the airport extreme is made by broadcom for apple [05:59] DasEi: last time i tried to fsck fix it, it thought that the partition was mounted... but it wasn't [05:59] plum: is /boot a separate partition? [05:59] smw_: yeah it is [05:59] smw_: depends on setup [06:00] smw_: i should clarify... -my- /boot is a separate partition [06:00] @plum if it says it's mounted from my experience it usually is... [06:00] plum: you need to mount the root partition, then mount the other partitions like boot, proc, dev, etc under that dir [06:00] do a mount -a? [06:00] plum: so run a fsck on the UNmounted partition, compare uuid with the one in fstab/grub [06:00] [06:00] plum: no [06:01] abiss27, open terminal and paste this it will restore to factory gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » === Guest85714 is now known as sloopy [06:01] plum: you need to do some googling. Truthfully, I would probably just reinstall :-\ [06:01] abiss27, you will probally have to reboot considering your on the net now [06:01] @smw I agree from the sound of it [06:02] I would just have 3 partitions this time... 1 root, 1 home, and 1 swap [06:02] or just 1 root and 1 swap [06:02] plum: Just because a device isn't mounted doesn't mean that it doesn't have an exclusive lock that would prevent fsck from running (like another instance of fsck). [06:02] hiexpo: thanks [06:03] plum: If fsck thinks that there is an exclusive lock on the device, there almost certainly is one. [06:03] abiss27, no problem yourwelcome [06:03] plum: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Chroot_from_a_livecd is a good guide [06:03] plum: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Chroot_from_a_livecd#Mounting_the_installed_system is the exact section [06:03] ah k [06:03] i'll check it out again... [06:04] plum: after you have chrooted, you can reinstall. [06:04] plum: don't be surprised if you need to reinstall the entire computer. This may not work. [06:05] anybody up for assisting on hacking through my Ubuntu MacBook Pro wifi problem? [06:05] smw_: the gentoo won't work, it's rather confusing [06:05] Need a little bit of help. Every time I restart my computer, I have to reinstall the driver for my wireless card because the driver is not active. At least, thats what jockey says. Is there any way to re enable the command via cli? [06:05] plum: can you fsck the /boot ? [06:05] aimen: try the broadcom howto, might help [06:05] DasEi: i'm going to try rebooting into a livecd and trying it from there again.. [06:05] DasEi: I fail to see the confusing part... [06:05] re enable the driver via cli* [06:06] Jordan_U: you may have a point with that exclusive lock thing. i'll need to try again D: [06:06] I only use irc as a last resort I've been googling through tut's for the last 48hr(with very little sleep and a pissed off wife nagging me about it) [06:06] smw_: a chroot and some other dirs are necessary there: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1641599 [06:06] that's different from gentoo [06:07] be right back [06:07] exit [06:10] aimen: the card not working or what's he issue? [06:11] it's working, in funky way [06:11] iwconfig shows nothing [06:11] sudo iwconfig works [06:11] hey guys i'm back [06:11] so im wondering what benefit there will be to using ubuntu vs win7 with a 4g readyboost drive and a 4g eboostr drive? [06:12] I hacked together a solution to get iwlist scan to work [06:12] hi plum [06:12] hey DasEi [06:12] i am in the live cd right now [06:12] but kismet is being hard to setup as usual [06:12] plum: sudo fdisk -l, which is /boot [06:12] boot is /dev/sda3 [06:13] aimen: kismet needs monitor mode, broadcom doesnt support that they removed the raw mode [06:13] plum: just mount, no options, make sure it's NOT mounted [06:13] some "might" do if you patch the driver [06:13] no know hacks for it? [06:13] aimen: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers#broadcom_chipset_comments [06:13] plum: just enter mount, no options, make sure it's NOT mounted [06:13] DasEi: i don't see it in mount [06:13] fine [06:13] so looks like it's not mounted [06:14] plum: sudo fsck /dev/sda3 [06:14] thanks much MaRk-I... didn't think about going to aircrack's site for broadcom issues, great idea [06:14] I'll report back with results === irwin is now known as Guest11537 [06:14] aimen: yw ;^) [06:14] DasEi: /dev/sda3: clean, 372/126976 files, 83645/504832 blocks [06:14] o_o [06:15] so maybe i just need to reinstall grub?

[06:18] plum: root and boot on different hd's ? why not.. [06:18] happy easter everyone... [06:18] (I'm using the STA right now, but I don't have a wired connection so I'm out of luck for the time being [06:19] DasEi: long story haha, i have to chainload my /dev/sda3 partition [06:19] plum: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [06:19] plum: cd /mnt/etc [06:19] k, it's mounted [06:19] alright [06:19] plum: nano fstab [06:19] Is there an environmental variable for the system lib and include paths? If not, how are they found?

[06:22] amh345: nope [06:22] !undelete | amh345 [06:22] amh345: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [06:22] DasEi: ok, thanks. i guess that's a good thing. [06:22] amh345: The one exception being if any application still has an open file handle. [06:22] I think I'll just buy a "real" wifi card some time... broadcom is making my head hurt with it's foolish complexities... [06:22] amh345: if you're paranoid, see man wipe [06:22] is there a way to compile a program with extra cflags and ldflags that point to include and lib directories without CFLAGS and with environmental variables? [06:23] DasEi: what should i do now...? [06:23] DasEi: nah, not paranoid. i just want to recover a sample file. otherwise i need to regenerate it. [06:23] plum: seems alright so far, we can try to reinstall grub [06:23] alright... i have the grub reinstall commands written down, i'll try those [06:24] amh345: so other way around, yes there some forensic tools, but real nasty and only working if space hasn't been overwritten again [06:24] are* [06:24] im happy to know that at least my deleted files arent easily recoverable. [06:24] I'm going to set up a dual boot and have a partition for windows and Linux to share can it be NTFS or should i just set it to FAT32?

[06:46] so if I get an i7-960 1366 and overclocked it, it would be cool? [06:46] not literally [06:46] sherorox: It wouldn't necessarily be cool, but it would work fine on Ubuntu ;P [06:46] 960 can be overclocked right? [06:46] sherorox: I have a Core 2 Q6600 that's overclocked and running 24/7. Ubuntu is fine with it [06:46] rww xD [06:46] sherorox: no idea [06:47] rww sounds far from being cool (when powered⁾) too :) [06:47] 1366 means it needs 3 memory sticks right? can i use 4? === gaveen_ is now known as gaveen [06:47] i need software under ubuntu for projecting ann creating documentation local networks.

If there's a LoCo team in your area (we can direct you to one if you don't know) you could ask them for one.

But on Ubuntu there seems to be libusb0.1.4 only. How can I install a later version? [07:18] eggbertx_laptop: because some people want those messages. Turn them off in your client if you don't.

[07:25] to be more specific, I am running ratpoison and not gnome-session. ifup eth0 doesn't work like it did in older versions [07:26] siloxid: ifup would work if you removed network-manager and set up eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces [07:27] siloxid: for now, you should be able to test with "sudo ip link set eth0 up" and then "sudo dhclient eth0", assuming that your network is using dhcp [07:28] meganerd: thanks, will give it a try [07:28] I still don't have wireless connection... do I have to find the drivers for the wireless adapter from my laptop on google or the HP website?? === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax === yofel_ is now known as yofel [07:29] t3k_no: if you can connect the laptop with ethernet and do updates and install the driver [07:30] t3k_no: it depends, I would start with "Additional Drivers" under System -> Administration.

[07:41] SuperLag: yes, I build routers regularly. [07:41] SuperLag: the catch is that is I get specific cards that support this sort of thing. [07:42] Oops. I have just trashed all three basic menus: Applications, Places, System. I re-added "Main Menu" but I only got the Ubuntu logo in the panel, with all three menus stuffed up under it. I'd rather have it back to three menus. [07:42] SuperLag: I also work with embedded systems (Alix, arm, MIPS) [07:42] xiong: try restoring the panels [07:43] meganerd: I don't think there's an issue with the card being supported. I made sure and got something that I understood would work. This is an Intel Wifi Link 1000. [07:43] MaRk-I, Sorry; don't follow you. "Restore"?

IT's called "Custom Menu" [07:45] xiong: that's all I can think of [07:45] xiong: I mean "Menu Bar" [07:45] SuperLag: are you using WPA encryption? [07:46] Starminn, Thanks, that was what I wanted. I saw it and saw the word "custom", assumed it wasn't what I wanted, since I wanted the default. [07:46] hi guys, can anyone help me with automatically starting a service upon boot, the service is "service dvbhdhomerun-utils start" [07:47] Thanks again, Starminn. I wasn't ready in my head to figure that one out. [07:47] xiong: I did the same thing when I first started. It's a crappy description, one must admit, but whatever. Just remember, it's NOT "Main Menu" and you'll be able to find it fine. (It's how I think of it). [07:47] meganerd: I didn't specify an protocol in the interfaces file. Just wireless-key my key. [07:47] meganerd: all I've done up to this point was to install bridge-utils and modify /etc/networking/interfaces (based on one tutorial I saw) [07:48] SuperLag: setting up the bride is a little premature [07:48] meganerd: Okay. [07:48] meganerd: I'm all ears. [07:48] SuperLag: you can do the bridge by hand in 2 lines [07:49] SuperLag: how are you setting up the master mode? [07:49] Does somebody know if I have to restart sane somehow if I installed a later version?

[07:57] I'm having a weird problem with chromium. When I set a custom search engine for google i'm feeling lucky it either won't actually be i'm feeling lucky every search, or google chrome won't allow it. Is google making it so I can't bypass ads? [07:57] meganerd: with WPA2, and bridging [07:57] SuperLag: how experienced are you with the underlying principles? [07:57] iszak: Alright. Just sudo apt-get purge what you don't want I guess. For future reference though, my Googling says "gnome-core" might have been what you were looking for though ;) [07:58] any one answer me [07:58] meganerd: evidently not enough :/ [07:58] http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=goblin+camp+phpbb2 [07:58] meganerd: I mean I understand WPA2 is far better than WEP [07:59] ^Why doesn't this send me to the first search result? Why a list of possibilities? [07:59] sara2010: Ask it all on one line. "How can I change the server for "sudo apt-get update"?" I don't know but that should make it easier for others to answer you. [07:59] meganerd: I understand what bridging does, I think. I just don't know how to set it up. [08:00] AndrewR_SM: No. [08:00] siloxid, I can't think of a better way to ask that question :P [08:00] In ubuntu 11.04, the top panel retains the appearance of the default ubuntu theme, is it possible to change this? [08:02] SuperLag: basically, you set up the device in master mode, then use hostap to configure WPA2, then you set up the bridge. Here is a template I pulled from one of the embedded distros I use: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/596818/ [08:03] MaRk-I: thx!!! that actually may do it... looks like I have Broadcom BCM4311 [08:04] get http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu i want change this server . coz its very slow .. its possible to mirror server to change! [08:04] t3k_no: much easier and yw ;^) [08:05] t3k_no: just run all the updates while connected much faster too [08:05] meganerd: I see hostap-utils in the package repo, but the description leads me to believe it only works for Prism-based chipsets. Is that true?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [12:17] LFE does sound. but i dont think its coming out of the woofer [12:18] I have a problem with audio file playback (all formats - mp3, ogg, etc.). When I try to play a file with rhythmbox or totem, the whole system gets sluggish and the mouse pointer jerks about the screen and there is no sound... UNTIL I move the scrubber along a second, then playback is normal and the mouse pointer and system retruns to normal speed... How do I fix this?

[12:20] ok [12:21] ilyekkakai, you already have all of the codecs installed... yes? [12:21] hello anyone know how to get visualboyadvance working [12:21] zoza, first i will have to google that one [12:22] seems like theres sound issues... [12:22] coz_, yes. Once the audio starts, playback is normal.... And VLC shows no signs of the problem at all. [12:22] erUSUL: Until 8 days ago I had no wireless problems. I do not know I will have them now. I did not carry this computer with me since to another wireless location. [12:22] ilyekkakai, mm thats odd... I havent tried rhythmbox on natty yet [12:23] ilyekkakai: nothing in dmesg after the problem occurs? [12:23] bullgard4, there is a lot of stuff in the syslog about audio but it all means nothing to me.

[12:25] tonysan: #ubuntu+1 [12:25] tonysan, #ubuntu+1 please [12:25] zoza, mm then I am not sure ,,, I dont even know , other than google,, where to go for support with this [12:26] thanks, joining [12:27] erUSUL, I see lots of meaningless gibberish in dmesg when I initiate the problem. [12:27] my problem is i'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a notebook, but when tryng it gets black. The installation CD is ok 'coz i've tried on my own pc and it's work. So i figured out it's because of the video card (is a via chrome9) [12:27] ilyekkakai: well the last 50 lines or so after you suffered the problem could be enough [12:28] ilyekkakai: "dmesg | tail -n50" [12:28] erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/596881/ [12:30] i`m using wicd instead network but i have problem joining wireless networks (can`t assign me ip ) so can anyone tell me how to join wireless network from terminal [12:30] i read on forums that with the alternate CD i could be able to install ubuntu and then to install the drivers. But i'm not quite sure this is the solution and if shouldn't work there would be no coming back [12:30] network managet* [12:30] network manager* [12:30] /msg nickserv identify localG30rg3T0wn [12:30] tuhin: well for some odd reason the cpufreq system thinks that it can only work at 2 GHZ even one there are other freqs aviable ... [12:31] tuhin: maybe some config in the bios? [12:31] noo [12:31] i installed some packages to better power save [12:31] bluethundr_: you should do that in the server window instead [12:31] and now its alwasy runnign at 2GHz :( [12:32] heh .. yep accidental space caused a security breach [12:32] tuhin: it says available frequency steps: 2.00 GHz, 1.67 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz but then it says "current policy: frequency should be within 2.00 GHz and 2.00 GHz." [12:32] tuhin: weird... i would try with the ondemand governor [12:32] whats this [12:32] ilyekkakai: Try running top, (maybe from a ssh session from another machine), while reproducing the problem, and see what is hogging up resources. [12:32] CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.30 is not working :( [12:33] no one? :) [12:33] hi korsakoff_ [12:33] those packages broke ondemand (which i used to use most time and Powersaving) [12:33] hi giu [12:33] tuhin: sudo cpufreq-set --governor ondemand [12:33] tuhin: or using the cpugreq applet [12:34] tuhin: uninstall it then [12:34] erUSUL: how to restart pm applet? [12:34] i uninstalled the packages which broke it [12:34] FYI it works here [12:34] erUSUL, I checked the tail of dmesg before and after making the problem occur, and there was no change in dmesg. [12:35] tuhin: use the command line tool then [12:35] ilyekkakai: :/ [12:35] ilyekkakai: so still we have not clue of what is happening ... [12:35] terry, what is "top"? [12:35] that command didnt work [12:35] tuhin: it did not change the governor used? [12:35] nop [12:35] tuhin: check cpufreq-info output [12:36] ilyekkakai: top is an application that display Linux tasks [12:36] current policy: frequency should be within 2.00 GHz and 2.00 GHz. [12:36] ilyekkakai: and tells how many cpu cycles are used by each task. It puts the high users at top. [12:37] ilyekkakai: Run top and see what it does. [12:37] hello [12:37] It does nothing [12:37] ilyekkakai: recreate the problem and note the change in real time. [12:38] tuhin: so freq scaling worked at some point; you installed some packages and stooped working? [12:38] yes [12:39] i installed laptop-mode-tools [12:39] ilyekkakai: If the system becomes un-responsive, it would be best to have top running from another PC. [12:40] tuhin: only that? [12:40] terry, like running system monitor but from a different PC? I have another PC. Is top in the repos? === david is now known as Guest67333 [12:40] that thing removes suspend and hybernet [12:40] so i removed laptop mode tools [12:40] ilyekkakai: Probably already installed. [12:41] but cpu governor was still working [12:41] then removed laptop mode tools and installed "cpufreqd , libapm1 , sleepd" then cpu governor stopped working [12:41] by cpu governor i mean = CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.30 [12:41] tuhin: remove cpufreqd [12:42] terry, ok.. looks like it is. How do I make it display what the other computer is doing? [12:42] tuhin: provably the culprit [12:42] tuhin: probably the culprit [12:42] i removed those 3 today [12:42] installed pm-utils [12:42] and suspend+hybernate is back [12:42] but cpu governor is broke [12:43] tuhin: acpid ? [12:43] acpid is installed [12:43] ilyekkakai: ssh into the effected machine, run top, return to the effected machine, start vlc or what ever it takes to re-create the problem, go to other pc's monitor and note the change. [12:43] hi guys, why might an hd not spin down after hdparm -y /dev/sda1 ? drive is a samsung spinpoint F1 with an NTFS partition on it [12:43] acpi-support is installed too [12:43] tuhin: i checked better not remove that one [12:44] terry, ok.

[12:50] i upgraded and it happened [12:50] maybe i need to restart erUSUL [12:50] Math081: youc an put the studio package on either one.. personally, i prefer the desktop version.. i think the netbook interface is bad for netbooks (to cluttered)... why not boot them both and try each, and see what you think [12:50] tuhin: or for that matter what any of that packages could have done to change aperfectly working system to fail now :/ [12:51] MatBoy, I would go with th e default desktop version... even on 11" screen it should be nice to work with,, however,, this is a decision you have to make according to you work habits [12:51] bazhang: I'd like a graphical install with package selection if any. I do not think i can install from text. [12:52] lets hope the reboot fixes any kernel confusion erUSUL [12:52] m1aris: why do you think you can't install from text?

[13:03] Hi guys can you help me please , i want to extract archive files , it shows password when i wrote password but it shows password again [13:03] m1aris: if you use /etc/network/interfaces then network manager will not manage it [13:03] rafi_, looks like your password is wrong [13:03] erUSUL: i don't understand much, must i type that on terminal? [13:04] m1aris: they are two mutually exclusive methods or managing network connections [13:04] m1aris: yes [13:04] @theos if its wrong how can i open the my computer , or is it different password from computer [13:05] rafi_, what kind of password do you need? maybe its a file password and not your system password :P [13:05] oh i see how can i change that sir ? [13:05] erUSUL: I had the networkmanager, but now displays that message. [13:05] in the window manager, im getting this http://imgur.com/8dgSJ [13:06] while i want all the places to show up after one another in tabs [13:06] @ theos archive password [13:06] Hi there. I have a brand new mitsumi USB floppy that I need ubuntu to automount, the same way internal flopyy drives are. What can I do ? [13:06] rafi_, some people add password to their archives like zip or rar to protect unauthorized access. you cant change the pass. and you cant open the file unless you have the right password [13:06] erUSUL: The ouput is auto eth0, iface eth0 inet static [13:06] I have a problem with audio file playback (all formats - mp3, ogg, etc.). When I try to play a file with rhythmbox or totem, the whole system gets sluggish and the mouse pointer jerks about the screen and there is no sound at all... UNTIL I drag the playback slider along with the mouse for a second, then playback is normal and the mouse pointer and system returns to normal speed... How do I fix this? [13:06] rafi_, what file is it? from where did you get it? [13:06] m1aris: the command i gave you give some output? (yes/no) [13:06] m1aris: ok so it is yes. [13:06] rar files [13:06] m1aris: if you use /etc/network/interfaces then network manager will not manage it they are two mutually exclusive methods or managing network connections [13:07] m1aris: you can not use both [13:07] @ theos it was on torrent [13:07] Oday, what's the issue again? [13:07] rafi_, what is the extension? torrent files with a pass have a .txt inside which tell you how to get the pass [13:08] I can't seem to find anything wrong there. [13:08] Where should I start troubleshooting: I uninstalled Firefox 3.6 and installed Firefox 4 using their PPA and added icon to my launcher, but when I click it, the system just seems to load for a moment and nothing happends. [13:08] erUSUL: It's like use one manager. What happened, i downloaded another manager and messed up my connection. How do i fix that now? [13:08] USB floppy drive recognition anyone ? [13:08] theos .rar [13:09] if I start it from command line with firefox-4.0 it works [13:09] m1aris: if you want to use Network manager just remove the lines that configure eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces [13:09] rafi_, look if you can open the rar and if you can see the list of files. must be a .txt file to guide you how to get the pass [13:10] @theos i couldnt open the rar because of password [13:10] @theos my english is not good also [13:10] rafi_, then you cant open the rar. you need to find the right pass [13:11] ilyekkakai: Did top reveal any application that used and excessivly high percentage of cpu cycles? [13:11] terry, top shows this... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/596903/ if that helps at all.... [13:11] @theos is that any possibility to change or delete password [13:11] terry, pulse audio. [13:11] rafi_, no. whats the name of the file? [13:12] ilyekkakai: Yep pulseaudio - 93% [13:13] @ theos , i didnt understand.. its .rar so i couldnt open it [13:13] andycc: in the window manager, im getting this http://imgur.com/8dgSJ while i want all the places to show up after one another in tabs [13:13] rafi_, oh. you need rar opening software first [13:14] ilyekkakai: Are you using 10.04 or 10.01 or..? [13:14] Hello everyone! Why is Ubuntu setup so slow and unresponsive? No activity lights are blinking for CD/HDD/802.11G. Only the mouse cursor is animated. Can someone help please? [13:14] @theos ok i ll check it [13:14] terry, 10.10 maverick [13:14] Oday, okay, I saw that, but what exactly are you getting in the window manager? I don't see anything wrong in that shot. [13:14] @theos thank you very much sir , have a nice day [13:14] ilyekkakai: http://jechem.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-remove-pulseaudio-on-ubuntu-1010.html [13:14] rafi_, try sudo apt-get install rar [13:15] andycc: i want the places to show up in tabs so i can click on one and get where i want to go, instead of editing the path [13:15] erUSUL: That is fixed now. Many thanx. There is a way to manually add a static address instead of DHCP. I prefer that, but how do i do that? [13:15] ilyekkakai: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-switch-to-alsa-or-oss-instead-of.html [13:15] rafi_, open terminal and type that command [13:15] ilyekkakai: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9202903 [13:16] @theos its already installed thats what its shows [13:16] Oday, hit esc to hide the bar, middle-click to open a location/place in a new tab.

Any suggestion of good netbook for Ubuntu, suitable for such a user ? [13:17] rafi_, so you need the password now. go to the website from where you downloaded the torrent. it should say something about the password [13:17] LetsGo67, What you mean with (Ubuntu setup) .. is that in the Live-CD! [13:17] theos ok buddy thank you very much [13:17] your welcome :) [13:18] not what i meant, andycc. if you go to Places in your ubuntu and press ctrl + l, it will show the Location just like i have in the picture, and ctrl + l again it will go back to showing the path in seperate boxes [13:18] How can I make ubuntu opening a floppy disk upon double click on a floppy drive icon, given it's a USB floppy drive ?

[13:24] jjp: You'll be hard pressed to find the quality of a MAC. That is the one thing you can honestly say about MAC is that they have quality hardware.

[15:06] ActionParsnip: will see if it works now [15:06] mutante: after it is EOL you will get no updates and no help here or on the answer forum either, depends if you want support or not [15:06] as least its been woken up [15:07] very advised to upgrade to 10.04, a newer lts [15:07] xangua, yet another hint i will use in the future. thanks [15:07] but im not sure if the thing i read was about mobile processors :( [15:07] ok, giving up, thanks anyways [15:07] !find linux-image-rt [15:07] Package/file linux-image-rt does not exist in maverick [15:08] cousteau: seems its not in maverick but is in lucid [15:08] cousteau: not sure [15:08] ActionParsnip, I know that... I wanted to know why [15:08] hi guys, long time no boot, but when I boot it just dipslay $grub-rescue> does anyone know what is the fastest way to fix? [15:08] cousteau: websearching [15:08] I am running 10.04 and want to hard code the mac address of my router i.e arp -s 192.168.0.1 my:mac:add [15:08] but I dont want to run this cmd each time [15:09] is there a setting to achieve this or a quick script i could write [15:09] cousteau: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/amd64/linux-image-rt [15:09] cousteau: click the arrow on the left to see details and you can make enquires [15:10] cousteau: Please remove the linux-meta-rt source and binaries packages from Maverick. It is totally unsupported and unmaintained.

[15:11] how do i go about finding my interface name for wifi ? [15:12] raviepic3: sometimes wireless devices show as eth1 [15:12] so, basically, nobody was maintaining it [15:12] cousteau: pretty much afaics [15:12] Why, when a patch comes out for X software does it has to download 200MB instead of the 100kb patch? [15:12] How I can install the IP cam like a normal cam for linux mashine? [15:12] which tool for recording video/audio from webcam? [15:12] raven_: cheese I believe, or mplayer maybe [15:12] raven_: VLC? [15:13] TomFarr: do you mean use it as a webcam? [15:13] that's sad, now I'll have to compile the kernel myself if I want a low-latency kernel. And since I've never successfully done that before, nor I have such a big interest in having an RT kernel, I'll probably never do it. [15:13] Osmodivs, because that's how apt and dpkg work, unfortunately. Unlike Fedora/SUSE, we don't have delta packages. [15:13] ActionParsnip, thank you [15:14] i did kernle compiling suceffully 3 times afaik . on knoppix 5.3 [15:14] TomFarr, ActionParsnip i need the video from webcam but the sound from a sound card [15:14] andycc, And why not implement the same system of Non-Delta packages in Ubuntu too? [15:14] but that took a lot time while collecting info and packages need :D [15:14] raven_: that I am not so good at, you coud use recordmydesktop perhaps [15:15] Osmodivs, you mean delta packages? Well, I have no idea, I'm curious too. [15:15] since its a livecd its not easy to do the something again allway :P [15:17] seahorse = "Passwords and Encryption Keys" > Other Keys stores remote public gpg keys. Associated to them is a normal key icon. But I have another 2 keys there having an additonal emblem "terminal". These 2 have no Property data in their context menu. What kind of keys are that? [15:17] hello, during the install of ubuntu server edition, the bootloader failed to install, i continued the installation and finished it, now i want to install the bootloader, how can i do this? [15:17] andycc, Well, if Ubuntu needs to improve, the apt-get and dpkg need to be modify so everything works faster [15:17] Anywho... [15:17] vlc 1.1.9 [15:17] ?? [15:17] s0u][ight: you can boot to live desktop cd and install it there [15:17] sadf: what of it? [15:18] any working ppa ? [15:18] faster? network issues? [15:18] Osmodivs, I doubt it's that easy. ^^ [15:18] 'cause ferramberto is not working [15:18] did anyone tryed creating a livecd from a installed ubunt ? [15:18] what tools needed to do that ? [15:18] sadf: what is ferramberto? [15:18] lffl ppa... [15:18] easy install latest ppa === XOXO1 is now known as Antwon [15:19] sadf: try giving FULL information and we won't need to clarify stuff [15:19] which command can i use to check my wireless card? [15:19] ActionParsnip: will it recognize my partitioning scheme? [15:19] uabn93: lspci [15:19] sadf: you can't expect us to be 1) mind readers and 2) know the name of every going PPA....can we? [15:19] there is ppa rep of ferramberto aka lffl which provides latest builds of vlc as deb installers [15:19] sadf: MUCH BETTER [15:19] so it aint working anymore [15:19] so any alternative [15:19] uabn93: also iwconfig [15:20] uabn93: sudo lshw -C network [15:20] apart from n-muecnh [15:20] is there a ubuntu for ppc devices ? arm4 or other arms ? [15:20] sadf: have you contacted the maintainers to see if they are working on it still? [15:20] 'cause it breaks the ffmpeg module :( [15:20] what is the dev name from pulseaudio recording device? [15:20] the issue is it shows upped on the ppa sie on launchpad...but it doesnt update on update-manager [15:21] it doesnt even show :( [15:21] sadf: I'd contact the maintainer [15:21] sadf: also, which release are you using? [15:21] sadf: and do you intend to upgrade to natty? [15:21] currently latest provided by maverick updates [15:21] ie 1.1.4-5 [15:22] or some version latest build by ubuntu provided [15:22] yeah [15:22] but still its a bug and it should be fixed right ? [15:22] sadf: ~n-muench ppa has it built succesfully 7 days ago [15:22] thats what i wrote earlier [15:22] it breaks the ffmpeg module [15:22] sadf: natty has 1.1.9 in the official repos [15:23] what is the dev name of pulseaudio recording device? [15:23] thereby rendering all other multimedia players useless ! [15:23] but still its a bug and it should be fixed right ? [15:23] raven_ psedu audio recording device ? [15:23] c987-1, anything like /dev/dsp [15:24] you mean microphone ? [15:24] c987-1, soundcard inputs yes [15:24] run it and try checking process manager [15:24] sadf: it's a 3rd party repo so will be a different bug menthod, still log it as usual and the dev may be contacted [15:25] oi [15:25] sadf: could just hang a while and wait [15:25] raven_ ;ie run audio recording app , and check the devices used by app. [15:25] when i use ausearch, how do i know what kind of access happened - means was it Read, Write or Append - [15:25] k [15:25] i do not see a perm_mask in the output of ausearch [15:25] hello, I'm using ubuntu 11.04 beta2, and want to resize left side menu icons, how?

[15:26] anass: ask in #ubuntu+1 for natty support [15:26] @MaRk-I : ok, I'll, thank you very much! [15:27] anass: yw [15:30] what does this error mean kernel: Machine check events logged ? [15:30] I checked my network device w/ command lspce and the output "Network controller: RaLink Device 5390" ..the thing is that in win7, it shows up as RaLink 2860 under add/remove programs. How can I be sure of which device I have? [15:30] Does anyone knows how to use X11VCN? they say I can't use it because I have a Firewall, but I do not remember installing one. How do you turn it off in Ubuntu 10.10? [15:30] can anyone recommend a plug-n-play USB wireless device? [15:30] rocktop: does not look like an error... [15:30] uabn93: use what Linux shows it as [15:30] uRock: onces with intel chips are good, broadcom ones will work fine after you use the hardware driver app [15:31] !hcl | uRock [15:31] uRock: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [15:31] rocktop: maybe it just some ECC corrections or something completly normal [15:31] hi.. I want to install ftpserver in ubuntu.. any help?? [15:31] Osmodivs ; all linux's come with built in firewalls in general . allmost anyone . some weak some are stronger ;P [15:31] erUSUL: I have high load [15:31] In Synaptic, I lock a package so that it won't upgrade, then in the command line, sudo apt-get upgrade wants to upgrade that package??? are they different apps? [15:31] c987-1, How to disable them? [15:32] Try vsftpd it's in the repos. [15:32] Osmodivs: ubuntu does not enable firewall by default [15:32] kish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer and SFTP server is much better but if you only want access over LAN then ftp is great [15:32] Osmodivs , i dont know :P that was the issue for mee to in the time for a ftp serving all the root-fs :P [15:32] Osmodivs: however even with no enabled firewall.. all ports are blocked unless opened from outside [15:33] kish: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-an-FTP-Server-in-Ubuntu-Linux or that [15:33] ActionParsnip: maybe i should note that Linux also doesn't show the full description with device manager. windows seems to have more details. would that matter or should i still only use what linux has? [15:33] izinucs, How do I open them from outside? [15:33] uabn93: could try both, it's free [15:33] Howdy; is there a package for Acrobat Reader around somewhere? Whatever free alternative that's currently installed doesn't display pages correctly (in the slightest) [15:33] Osmodivs: firestarter is a firewall program you can use from inside to open the ports you need. [15:33] yeah , some kind of kernel side firewall [15:34] The HCL only lists PCs not hardware [15:34] izinucs, Firestarter, eh? I'll check it out [15:34] MC8: apt-get install acroread [15:34] is there no way to lock a package with apt-get? I generally use cli to update and stuff?? [15:34] MC8: evince is built in for reading pdf.. you can also install acroread which is acrobat but it's slow to load and a resource hog.. [15:35] Well, whatever I have now isn't showing any text in half of the pdf's I'm opening [15:35] ActionParsnip: just making sure cause it looks like im gonna have to manually configure wifi on my laptop :( [15:36] MC8: you may need adobes reader [15:36] uabn93, you can try "lspci -v or lspci -vv" for more info same with lsusb === jesus is now known as Guest88500 [15:36] MC8: there's lots of pdf readers.. xpdf is one that's popular and others.. check the repos [15:36] MC8: hopefully you don't have corrupt pdf's [15:37] Well, https://www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/publications/statistics-and-data/hmps/noms-annual-rept-0910-addendum.pdf is showing blank pages with a few random lines and a couple of graphs [15:37] hello everyone [15:38] Mornin' tom [15:38] MC8: I get "This connection is untrusted" message.. [15:38] i have just started using xchat-gnome but it seems as though it don't give many options for change [15:38] seahorse = "Passwords and Encryption Keys" > Other Keys stores remote public gpg keys. Associated to them is a normal key icon. But I have another 2 keys there having an additonal emblem "terminal". These 2 have no Property data in their context menu. What kind of keys are that? [15:39] hey Sidewinder1 [15:39] MC8, if you want Adobe's version, add the partner repo then install acroread [15:39] @ActionParsnip where to place the files that i want the clients to access.. the wiki asks to keep the files in ~/ftp.. but i dont see such a directory.. i also assume there should be some way by which we can tell the ftp server the location that can be accessed by clients.. [15:39] bullgard4: if you open the files in a text editor are they full of nonesense? [15:40] tomtiddly: what options were you looking for? [15:40] think i'll have another look in synaptic [15:40] kish: make the folder. If a user logs in as itself theyshould be jailed to their $HOME folder [15:40] MC8: works fine here.. are you opening it direct from the site or downloading it first? [15:40] downloading first (because that's how chromium works) [15:40] Well xchat-gnome just seems a little light on options is all [15:41] MC8: same.. I don't have any issues viewing it at all. [15:41] ActionParsnip: and how to make the clients access this ftp server?? [15:41] ActionParsnip: I am speaking about entries in a Window, not about files. [15:41] Although Firefox is pretty borked as well http://www.chippy.ch/miscellany/BBC%20News%20-%20Home-Mozilla%20Firefox_019.png [15:41] hi all [15:41] kish: they connect to the hostname with a ftp client to port 21 [15:41] isn't 11.04 supposed to be released today?

[15:49] theos ; others, you mean subwoofers that plugged on audio out jack ? [15:49] is there some package in ubuntu that controls all irc connectivity? because any and all IRC clients are hard locking my machine [15:49] hi [15:50] c987-1, other speakers are front, left, right etc [15:50] theos; hmm.. so you cant hear only from center ? [15:50] then this probably means some cables of wooffers are out of service :P [15:50] raven_: VLC > Menu > Audio > Visualizations [15:50] uabn93, np glad to help =) [15:51] bullgard4, tnx [15:51] or centerr woffers are wofferen because of high auidio imao :P [15:51] kish: the hostname of the system you setup the server on. You can find this out (if you don't know it) by going back to the server and running: hostname [15:51] c987-1, cant hear from LFE. or how to check if subwoofer is working? [15:51] ubuntu is very cool [15:51] c [15:51] indeed [15:51] oh, deleting broken fonts fixed everything :) [15:52] if only center is not working , and left+right works . that means error in woffers or drivers. but 1st case is much more common. [15:52] can anyone ping me, i think i am lagged? [15:52] ActionParsnip: i mean after connecting to the server.. it's like username password.. i dint create any user account, so i dont know what to give if i want to login as anonymous [15:53] is there a light, easy to use application that is capable of anylyzing traffic in real time and also write easy to read logs? [15:53] i want to join #python channel, and it redirects me to #python-unregistered and then i must register but it says that i am already registered [15:53] kish: use the username and password you log into ubuntu with [15:53] virgo, then you need to login [15:53] kish: the links I gave showed how to allow anonymous [15:53] ActionParsnip: gr8... thanks a lot.. i'm able to login now :-) [15:53] kish: but anonymous gives no logging of whom did what action [15:54] since the center woffer is using left+right in all 2+1 systems this means 2d audio is there but chip did not compute the sum to center woffer .

[17:56] it's awful [17:56] guntbert, thanks anyway, does one run multiple profiles with arguments just as windows does? [17:57] JAAAAAAA: you mean 10.04 [17:57] or 11.04 [17:57] i dont know, what do you recommend me ? [17:57] JAAAAAAA: in the future [17:57] my friend said 12.04 [17:57] i recommend either xubuntu or kubuntu 11.04 beta [17:57] if you want LTS, get 10.04 [17:57] if you want the latest, get 11.04 [17:57] okay thanks [17:57] is there a help webpage for formatting the launchpad bug comments [17:57] JAAAAAAA, 12.04 will be release April 2012 [17:57] yes okay [17:57] i cant install drivers in safe mode please help [17:57] disorient: there is a switch to start the profile-manager [17:58] excellent [17:58] so kde [17:58] Normally i want gnome but ... dont like gnome 3 [17:58] 11.04 doesn't have GNOME 3 yet === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [17:58] disorient: have a look at the firefox page, they say a lot about profiles [17:58] yes but 11.10 [17:58] JAAAAAAA, gnome 3 won't be used in any Ubuntu releases, Unity will [17:58] thanks [17:59] yes but unity is better, but dont like too [17:59] in any case, it'll be GNOME 3 with Unity instead of the normal shell [17:59] i thought unity replaced xorg or metacity but still used gnome? [17:59] do you use gnome with unity ? [17:59] Cas07: Isn't LP comments mainly just plaintext..? [17:59] I use Unity [17:59] no, Unity isn't a replacement for X.Org [18:00] they're working on Wayland, which will be, though [18:00] excellent [18:00] someday [18:00] arand_: but the system fills in bug #'s with links so i wondered if the same applied to comments [18:00] is there a package in synaptic to allow me to record on my webcam [18:00] somebody who using kde ?? [18:00] Unity will have a 2D version that uses Qt [18:00] It won't use metacity anymore, the 3D version uses compiz instead === Sahm is now known as Guest51078 [18:01] unity is 3d? === Guest51078 is now known as Sary [18:01] disorient: affirmative. [18:02] one would think that would need more CPU power & be harder on battery life [18:02] 3D in the sense of using 3D effects [18:02] its so hot outside [18:02] i never found anything useful to 3d effects but i haven't tried compiz since 2006, or something like [18:02] * KM0201 says its 50 F in Indy [18:02] my friend is running maverick and is following this guide "http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/install-vanilla-gnome-3-in-maverick/" and when he issues this command 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds' it tells him something about the fingerprint dont match or something [18:03] Cas07: Yes, true, I guess the LP # bug # works as usual (linking is done by LP), I don't think there is documentation on it though.. [18:03] disorient: computers that don't support 3D will include GNOME Shell (later Unity 2D) as a fallback [18:03] the gnome3 ppa isn't available for maverick [18:03] and if you use it, it's almost surely going to break your system [18:03] " en1gma: there are ppas.

[18:03] anyone know of a webcam recording package [18:04] tensorpudding: I can work, and I know people have used it, though obviously it's very unstable and often no way back. [18:04] yeah you can always select whichever you'd like. I have 3 desktops installed on Ubuntu right now [18:04] tensorpudding so does he need natty or unstable to use gnome3? [18:04] ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu :P [18:04] pretty sure [18:04] last i checked the ppa was natty-only [18:05] ok thanks [18:05] i used it and hosed my system [18:05] in natty or maverick? [18:05] for little gain, because gnome-shell wasn't even ready for release yet [18:05] Cas07: Bugtrackers tend to be spartan, many are designed to support email interfacing you know ;) [18:05] arand_: email, wassat? :D [18:06] he just installed gnome-session and restarted and is at the desktop but does he need to unstaill that or is it going to make him unstable [18:06] when i did compiz way-way-way back, rendering 3d shortened my battery life. i still don't know how/if my discreet card works with lucid nevermind unity === epifanio_ is now known as epifanio [18:07] hi All [18:07] disorient: Ubuntu is shipping with GNOME for the forseeable future, so even if they stopped shipping GNOME Shell you could always install it yourself :) [18:08] MK``, not quite true - gnome-shell will not be in 11.04 (due to some bug) [18:08] pif, hi [18:08] ZykoticK9: iirc it's because they weren't done with it when they froze [18:09] do you know how can i enable the "composite" in my x settings ? i'm running ubuntu 10.10 with a nvidia card. i installed the non free driver using the ubuntu package manager [18:09] But moreso I meant, Ubuntu is based on GNOME so GNOME Shell should work with minimal changes [18:09] epifanio, did you run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to generate an xorg.conf then restart system/GDM? [18:09] do you think i can use gnome 2 in future ?? no ?? [18:10] JAAAAAAA: in 11.10 and after, possibly not [18:10] JAAAAAAA, gnome3 includes a "fall back" mode similar to gnome2 (not sure if that helps at all) [18:10] Zykotick9 but ubuntu dont have gnome [18:10] gnome 3 is in vogue [18:10] it have unity [18:10] JAAAAAAA, Unity uses gnome [18:10] ok where can i change it ? [18:10] the old looking design [18:11] JAAAAAAA, in 11.04 there is an option for "classic" at login - i'm not sure what you are trying to change right now? [18:11] yes but in 11.10 ?? [18:11] where are the openldap logs located [18:11] JAAAAAAA, 11.10 is in the future, development hasn't even started [18:12] ok [18:12] It won't include GNOME Shell, but it will still include GNOME itself. [18:12] the other question is do i need new hard drive ??

[18:13] i have got green hard drive disk 5400 rpms [18:14] Booting my system from a live cd, it will run for a while.. but if left alone, it will shut down and eject the cdrom. Is that a feature, or is something crashing as it shuts down ? [18:14] milligan: is it going into suspend or hibernate by any chance? [18:14] If it crashes out i don't think it'd eject the CD [18:14] ciao [18:14] MK``, nope. The monitor says "remove any cd and hit return" [18:14] list! [18:15] ah. Then, that's not a crash. Left alone for how long? [18:15] MK``, not sure .. an hour maybe? I'm recovering files from a dead windows machine. [18:15] anyone here? [18:15] hi [18:16] Was it in the middle of operating (like moving files) when this happened? [18:16] What's the recommended pacakage to be used for installing GLib 2.12.0 or higher?

[18:16] i generated the xorg.conf file using the nvidia command [18:16] but nothing changes [18:16] MK``, yes, I believe so. I initiated a 200 GB transfer over scp and left it alone. It has done the same thing to me 5 times now. I haven't been sitting around to see what happens. I have checked power settings, and everything is set to unlimited. [18:17] Hm... that is strange. Is your computer operating properly, not overheating etc.? [18:18] it might be overheating.. but it has a shutdown feature when it does causing everything to switch off. That has happened a couple of times, but hasn't occured after I cleaned out the fan, and left a couple lids open [18:18] does anyone know about how to make a wireless AP using ubuntu [18:18] i have a Ralink Technology, Corp.

[18:20] knightautwell, have you check the link i posted. [18:20] what link? sorry i must not have seen it [18:20] MK``, alright .. I'll check it out.

[19:32] Sarajevo: I haven't tried 64 it linux for anything but servers in actually a while, but you used to have to have a 32 bit chroot for your 32 bit programs. [19:32] Sarajevo: the main issue is libraries; you can't link 32-bit binaries to 64-bit libraries [19:32] 64 bit** [19:32] Sarajevo: when source code is aviable recompiling is the better way of doing things [19:32] thanks so much [19:32] hmm [19:33] Sarajevo: since many (most?) programs are distributed as dynamically-linked binaries, this is an issue [19:33] why do I get the error "The Program Setup.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." when trying to install adobe after effects using wine?

[19:34] okay, where should I post it [19:34] Camer0n: #winehq would be the best place to ask [19:35] Camer0n: winehq is the best place to discuss that stuff [19:35] cool [19:35] Camer0n: first you should check out the winehq appdb to see if after effects is even supported [19:35] it says it is [19:36] Camer0n: If it's not platinum, you might need to make modifications to your wine configuration or program configuration to run things. Look through the posts on that application's appdb page.

Secondly, you can always check on launchpad to see what the most recent changelogs are for a package. In this case, it looks like a bunch of changes were dropped into lucid-proposed for the kernel, as well as a lucid-security update for 'tiff'. [19:56] De|ta: yeah..so?

[20:07] testtube: have you checked the hardware compatibility guide [20:07] I sure have [20:08] I didn't find much on the topic of 7.10 and processor support [20:08] what is your CPU, that you're worried about it not supporting? [20:09] how can I identify grub menu.lst changes from fdisk command? [20:09] I just installed Firefox 4, and now it wants to be my default viewer for FTP. How do I change it back?

[20:10] I know it doesn't support say a core i5 [20:11] testtube: why do you think so? [20:11] GreenNerd: open gconf-editor ..and locate /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp ..and make changes [20:11] Mac_Weber: webmin [20:11] Pici: it's quite funny, now when i SSH in i get two copies, the new saying no updates followed by the old saying there are some :D i tried deleting the contents of /var/run/motd but both come back every time :) [20:11] ditto webmin [20:11] Error404NotFound: webmin is not safe for 10.04LTS [20:11] hi [20:12] I was told by a hp vendor.

[20:13] maybe I am just misunderstanding the process [20:13] 10.04 was lts [20:13] webmin? [20:13] testtube: it's possible that the kernel in 7.10 doesn't support all the features of the i5, but it will install and run [20:13] You think so? [20:13] hastedlm: yes...so next will be 12.04 [20:13] j [20:14] !webmin | Error404NotFound: [20:14] Error404NotFound:: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[20:15] they really need to make a updated version of WineDoors [20:15] testtube: 7.10 is very very out of date [20:15] GreenNerd: strange... [20:15] Unfortunately we don't have a option of upgrading [20:16] testtube: you ought to have used the LTS option [20:16] The application we run isn't certified on newer releases [20:16] it's not? [20:16] I just installed Firefox 4, and now it wants to be my default viewer for FTP. How do I change it back? [20:16] well anyway [20:16] And we are running low on hardware [20:16] what package is needed so file-roller can deal with password protected zip files?

[20:26] so thats pretty much it, i have grub installed in both HDs (the sata one and the IDE - the one that has ubuntu) and cant boot either OS. i'm using the live CD now [20:26] GreenNerd:try this http://radu.cotescu.com/how-to-set-nautilus-as-default-ftp-application/ === Lorthirk`ZNC is now known as Lorthirk [20:28] sorry what is the f6 do in the boot menu [20:28] GreenNerd, galternatives is in Ubuntu repo, but bonjoyee's link would probably work as well [20:29] zaksoldier: talking with me?

[20:31] Can any one help with this issue === LyNX is now known as Guest88577 [20:31] bonjoyee, I'm still missing the FTP folder, so that link doesn't really help. I don't know what happened... This sucks. [20:32] Wally42: do you know your DNS server adress ? [20:32] yes [20:32] DestroiTe, there is also #grub channel maybe more help there [20:32] Wally42: you should try to edit the resolv.conf file, in /etc/ folder [20:32] oh, nice to hear, i'm gonna try there as well [20:33] thx! [20:33] I edit the /etc/resolv.conf , but the changes don't stick [20:33] GreenNerd: i have had this issue several times..and this method always worked....if the folders not there..why not create one? [20:34] Wally42: did you write "nameserver: ip_adress" in your resolv.conf file ? === dgrnbrg is now known as bobhope [20:34] bonjoyee, How do I create a folder? [20:35] GreenNerd: File -> Create Folder [20:35] yes. maybe i missed the : However the change sdon't save When I reboot. resolv.conf has not changed [20:35] tensorpudding, I'm in Configuration Editor... [20:35] GreenNerd, you said the folder opened in FF, how can it do so if it is not there? [20:35] GreenNerd: under ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers [20:35] oh [20:35] bonjoyee, "how do I add a new folder" It isn't in the menu options [20:35] Wally42: oops sorry there is no ":" === alex__c2022_ is now known as alex__c2022 [20:36] okay so I did right, but I don't understand why the chages don't save. I am using gedit [20:36] GreenNerd: why do you want to add a new folder in gconf? [20:36] with the sudo command [20:37] exit [20:37] GreenNerd: dont use the gui...this time use the terminal and create the folders/files manually === popy is now known as p0p [20:37] generally folders that exist there are specified by schemas, rolling your own is not a good idea [20:37] Wally42: gedit is not recommended, you should try with vi or nano (which is easier) [20:38] okay [20:38] the computer is not with me right now. I will have to try it later [20:39] I've now upgraded to Natty beta, but I somehow lost the network-manger symbol. Is this by design or an upgrade failure? [20:39] I have seen this happen before and the resolv.conf edit solved it [20:39] bonjoyee, I hate to keep asking for these simple things, but I don't know how to do that. Can you give me specific command instructions? Thanks for helping, and I apologize for my lack of understanding some of the more simple things. I really appreciate your help.

Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. [20:40] you're welcome [20:40] later all [20:40] Is there a way to pragmatically send a hotkey? I want to have a widget layer which appears on the same hotkey as gnome do. I can't fugue out how to do that since one hotkey overtakes the other. So I was thinking set a hotkey in ubuntu to cal a script which shows the widget layer and sends the hotkey to show gnome do [20:40] GreenNerd: mind if i pm? [20:40] what would be an easy way of monitoring hardware temps folks? Using im-sensors > sensors approach now but the output seems rather vague to me [20:40] (ie sensor numbers instead of names that mean anything to me) [20:40] guntbert, thanks, thought I was already in +1 ;) [20:41] Sure! [20:42] Hey [20:42] hi [20:42] drmorphis_droid: hi [20:42] I was just looking at ubuntu unity 11.04 [20:42] lol :) [20:42] how can I "listen" to a port? that is, see all the data being sent through it. [20:42] :) [20:42] is the final release for 11.04 28th April? [20:42] subone: well, you can send key combinations with xdotool, however I don't think that will help you since if they are both the same key combination, the first one will probably still override it [20:42] andeeeuk: please discuss it in #ubuntu+1 [20:42] binni: wireshark ;) [20:43] or is that a development reloease? [20:43] binni: unless you write a program to intercept the traffic, you need to use something like wireshark to sniff the network traffic [20:43] binni: (thats a program) [20:43] ok thanks [20:43] i want to copy a directory from my host through my guest using scp but it is asying that it is not a regular file how do i coy that?please tell [20:43] mekeor, mbeierl: thanks! I'll check it out [20:44] subone: although there is a -window option to send to a specific window, maybe you can play with that [20:44] is there any way to get whole bandwidth of lan on my laptop [20:45] in what package is the oxygen theme located and the kcmmodule to load it? [20:45] subone: then again, they may not help, because it sends to the current window by default, but the global hotkeys will still work [20:45] Trism, I don't know any other way to activate gnome do but worth the hotkey, but the hotkey to show it and the hotkey for showing the widget later ned not be the same as long as I can cal both from a script. Thanks il look into that [20:46] how to operate by tty1 [20:46] hi anyone knows of a way/utility to take a screenshot and upload it to flickr..etc ?

[22:14] i dont know i can get ir to run on my pc [22:15] hkmix, no luck lol [22:15] with ubuntu [22:15] how would I have synclient Tapbutton2=2 Tapbutton3=3 run at startup? I've tried .bashrc, /etc/rc.local, and GNOME's startup applications, but they didn't work [22:15] tripelb: oh, it depends on the filesystem whether it can be done. I'd try gparted, that should be the easiest, if it works :) [22:15] KINGofswords I'd like to help. could you put all that one one line please. and put tripelb on that line. [22:15] Saik: That's really strange, haha; and you said you had restricted-extras installed too, right? [22:15] i am usin glive cd .My problem is that unexpectably when i restart my system it is showing the error like "the configuration defaults for GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly" also when i am going to login it is also not taking my password also the login screen is turned into black screen please help me i used live cd so i can use irc to ask [22:15] zvacet i already said i can get xp install disk to run with the partitions [22:15] hkmix, yes, I do [22:16] KINGOFSWORDS: when you start to install xp it will ask you about partitions (space to use) don´t give entire space to xp [22:16] no it doesnt zvacet..xp doesnt run at all with my partitions [22:16] KINGOFSWORDS: use Ubuntu live CD and with gparted delete all partitions [22:16] guys is there any software for ubuntu can work with OBD connector ? [22:16] Hi. My wife just got an IPod touch. Trying to find the utilities to get ubuntu to do more than just upload/download photos. I want to be able to transfer videos to it, but I am not seeing how to do this. [22:16] luite: my goal is to turn my 800G partition into a few smaller ones. I would like to do that without losing data. [22:16] for windows there a lot of softwares that can used for cars OBD [22:17] but what about ubuntu ? [22:17] Lazer-B: can you pastebin the result of 'sudo aptitude search X11| grep -E "^i "' [22:17] detrix42: I think Rhythmbox can [22:17] KINGOFSWORDS: but it is strange because you should be able to boot xp from cd [22:17] hkmix, I think it hates me lol [22:17] tripelb: gparted should be able to do that [22:17] tripelb: at least for ext2/3/4 filesystems [22:17] tripelb : i have dual boot with windows installed 2nd..i want to get rid of everything and install xp 1st then ubuntu, i cant install xp after ubuntu so i installed vista [22:17] Saik: Do it the raw way =P Go here: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-6u24-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer [22:18] detrix42: if not rhythmbox, I think there's a fork of Songbird focused on linux (Songbird is kinda like itunes, but uses Mozilla's core) [22:18] tripelb: if it's your root partition, then you'd probably need to boot it from a live cd [22:18] hkmix u stil with me [22:18] KINGOFSWORDS: this is so in pieces that it's hard to help you. Once you install XP over the whole drive (the only way that windows "likes" it, then you can use ubuntu to repartion from the liveCD. It's easy if you dont get complicated. Really. I've done it more than once. I have XPerience. [22:18] /join #python [22:18] KINGOFSWORDS: or you can download gparted live cd and do it with it http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [22:18] wahby: Yeah, I don't really know what is going on, haha, did you make modifications recently. [22:18] whoops [22:18] i know its strange but have been spending all week trying to sort out and would rather just start from scratch [22:18] KINGOFSWORDS, i recently was using Windows XP via Virtual Box, and it works quite cool [22:19] luite, yes I know that I need to boot it from my root partition. My issue is that I cannot "bunch up" the files. [22:19] no xp will not even start boot process if there is another partition on the drive..thats y i need to delete it all first [22:19] KINGOFSWORDS: try gparted live cd [22:19] hkmix, how do I install it? [22:19] KINGOFSWORDS: if you want to addresss someone please put their NICK in the line of text. The advice you are getting is something that makes it more difficult. [22:20] can i just go into gparted live cd and delte all partition then put in xp to format? [22:20] KINGOFSWORDS: notice that I am using your name every time I write to you. [22:20] Saik: sudo ./file.bin [22:20] oh yeh sorry... [22:20] yes i install kde aftre that maybe this problem come [22:20] how would I have synclient Tapbutton2=2 Tapbutton3=3 run at startup? I've tried .bashrc, /etc/rc.local, and GNOME's startup applications, but they didn't work [22:20] KINGOFSWORDS: use the regular liveCD. It has gparted built in. [22:20] KINGOFSWORDS : yes [22:20] sorry im in windows mirc its hard to tell anythig in here [22:20] qtparted > gparted =P [22:21] kingofswords mirc is fine. [22:21] tripelb do i just right click on partitions and delte them? [22:21] hkmix, sudo: ./java.bin: command not found [22:21] KINGOFSWORDS: yes just try and you will see how easy it is [22:22] tripelb: is it an ntfs partition or something? I thought that resize2fs automatically moved the files to within the bounds of the new filesystem size [22:22] ok thx zvacet...then once xp install how do i create partition for ubuntu? [22:22] Saik: You might need to chmod 755 file.bin [22:22] just install disk? i have alternate ubuntu 10.04..willl that create a partition? [22:22] KINGOFSWORDS: create partitions during install you can choose manual way [22:23] from xp? [22:23] hello hello [22:23] KINGOFSWORDS: yes,alternate will create partitions [22:23] luite, finally a new piece of info for me. Ah.

I am supposed to say all this in public chat because that is how #ubuntu works. you said you are starting from scratch with a new XP installation.

I copied a shortcut, deleted the original, and the shortcut duplicated itself in another menu. When I deleted the duplicate, it deletes the original consistently [22:39] Saik: Have fun, sorry about the silliness in not realizing the update =P [22:39] Not to mention times when it loses focus and deletes a folder instead of the file you selected. Or the fact that moving up/down breaks when you select a separator [22:39] djja38: Depending on what you're doing you'll need to use ssh-keygen (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH) or gpg (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto) [22:39] hkmix, it works, that's what matters :) [22:39] MK``: i've done extensive menu editing, and never had a problem like that... ever [22:40] !yay | saik [22:40] saik: Glad you made it! :-) [22:40] djja38: I missed the first part of the conversation, but it looks like you're doing something that does git over ssh.

[22:59] HP nx7400 [23:00] kyle .. software center > sensors > pick one [23:00] few years, i say 5 [23:01] kyle___: check with System Monitor whether there's a process hogging the cpu [23:01] kyle___: and it might help to clean the heatsinks with an air duster [23:02] cleanout sounds good. CPU is high ussage at moment. [23:02] Would my current temps have any lasting affect to machine? [23:03] not sure od normal temps.. [23:03] Kyle__: well if it constantly runs high.. that could be a problem of course. [23:03] it's difficult to say which ones of those temps are real [23:03] Kyle__, do as luite suggests a 5 year old computer can collect a lot of dust [23:03] kyle___: which of those temps actually change if you run it again? [23:04] kyle___: Sometimes the numbers are odd if they are not supported. I have 47C, 42C, -128C [23:04] how i can add menu item to Lubuntu [23:04] i downloaded nautilus [23:05] and now i want to add it to menu list [23:05] kyle___: check the process list in System Monitor for high CPU% processes, close those programs. the temp that drops most is probably your cpu :) [23:05] OK. killed high process. [23:05] vesanoob: you want to add nautilus, to the menu list? [23:05] vesanoob: ask in #lubuntu [23:05] yeah [23:05] vesanoob, you might want to try #lubuntu (if you don't get an answer here) [23:06] hmmm [23:06] vesanoob: oh, thought you were using gnome or kde.. [23:06] lubuntu has gtk2.0 [23:06] guess it will take time for normal temps to return. I know the cooler the better really. But what would you say a normal temp before damage or slow system? [23:06] vesanoob: but the menu editing is handled differently [23:07] is there an interactive commandline method that will help me merge two config files? [23:07] i know how to do it in ubuntu even in with terminal [23:07] but not with lubuntu :D [23:07] hello. my ubuntu doesn't show any new applet. help plz? [23:08] kyle___: many laptops can get relatively hot when stressed. mine gets up to 95 degrees C for the gpu, the cpu a little cooler [23:08] What channel to request ubuntu install help ? [23:09] om: here [23:09] om: here.. :) [23:09] :) [23:09] my ubuntu doesn't show any new applet from prog running. help plz? [23:09] No matter what I do I can't install . . . [23:09] om: then you probably need to do something differnt.. ;0 [23:10] Running AMD Athlon CPU 32 bit 1.4G . . . [23:10] om: well, what do you mean by you "can't install".. what is not allowing you to install [23:10] can anybody help with my applet situation? [23:10] If I boot to CD, I get msg. 'can't find live file system' . . . [23:10] from CD [23:11] om: have you burned a live cd before, successfully? [23:11] If I install within windows XP, therte is no trace of the install, even thhough the install seems to go fine. [23:12] Yes . . used Infra and followed ubuntu instructions. [23:12] om: well, thats "Wubi".. you need to not do that.. Wubi is just begging for a problem.. before going any further, go to control panel under Windows, and uninstall wubi, then reboot and make sure its gone completely [23:12] when I try to run vimdiff I'm getting 'This Vim was not compiled with the diff feature' [23:12] both vim and vimdiff are from the default install of ubuntu server [23:13] om: have you tried actually "booting" the CD, rather than installing inside windows? [23:13] then what ? [23:13] om: then what?.. well what did you jsut do/ [23:13] yes [23:14] burned CD, then cold booted to it [23:14] +1 for not using wubi, with all due respect to the developers. [23:15] i got out of sequence there . . .sorry [23:15] Sidewinder1: yep.. good intentions by the developers, but Wubi is a mess, and causes way more probs than its worth. [23:15] om: answer your private message [23:15] can anyone help me to retrieve my lost applets? [23:15] I've tried installling both using and not using wubi . . . same result [23:16] KM0201: Wouldn't touch it with... [23:17] Sidewinder1: i totally agree... [23:17] Sidewinder1: i've saw it brick to many systems (usually turning an upgrade) [23:17] KM0201: Anytime I see a question on the forums, I go on to the next... [23:18] afroman, right click the panel then add to panel should be a list (if your using gnome) [23:18] Good intentions; bad results... [23:18] Sidewinder1: lol, if its troubleshooting it not booting, i do to... but if its just "it won't work".. and they can still boot windows, i'll help them remove it, then install ubuntu right. [23:18] when I save a big file to an USB stick and then put it back from there to the HDD, is the md5sum supposed to be equal? [23:18] ctmjr: I tried that, it can't help [23:18] I got the source of nautilus from git, but when I cd into the folder and type ./configure it tells me bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [23:18] Gotcha! [23:19] afroman: If you're trying to reset the Gnome panel to defaults, open a terminal then run "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel", then "pkill gnome-panel" [23:19] ctmjr: I'm talking about the applets used when a prog is running, like vlc. [23:19] Galeon: I'm talking about the applets used when a prog is running, like vlc. [23:20] afroman, did you remove the bottom panel? [23:20] afroman: make sure you have a Notification Area applet [23:20] do you mean the icon for vlc? [23:21] ctmjr: no [23:21] Galeon: yes that's the ones [23:21] is there a general computer science / computer technology channel? [23:21] om: Please listen to KM0201... [23:22] Sidewinder1: we're talking in PM now.. just removed wubi and he's about to restart to make sure its gone [23:22] afroman: Then add the Notification Area applet [23:22] How do I select which installed gdm theme to use? There's no option in System > Advanced > Login Screen [23:22] Galeon: what about the notification area? how do I do that? [23:23] KM0201: Kewl...Side wanders of to refresh his Scotch... [23:23] BRB [23:24] afroman: right-click in top panel, click "Add to Panel...", select "Notification Area", click "Add" button [23:25] Galeon: thx a lot. that's what I needed [23:26] !yay | afroman [23:26] afroman: Glad you made it! :-) [23:27] is there a general computer science / computer technology channel? [23:27] I wish I would make it finally :-) [23:27] still stuck with network issues [23:27] i cant find secure-delete on [23:27] the menus [23:27] ? [23:28] I want to know this: when a file changes its md5sum when transfed via an USB-Pen, is the USB-Pen broken? (NTFS format) [23:30] abenthy: could be; or memory on one of the computers... or the usb port ... or the disk of the destination computer or .... [23:30] for ubuntu how do I upgrade KDEvelop 4.0 to 4.2? apt-get seems to only have 4.0 [23:31] erUSUL: I think it might also be an File-Modification/File-Creation Date or NTFS thing [23:31] is it good to put ubuntu in usb by ntfs format of usb [23:31] abenthy: file metadata like that doesn't affect MD5SUMS [23:32] BHXSpecter: the repositories do not always have the latest version [23:32] How do I select which installed gdm theme to use? There's no option in System > Advanced > Login Screen [23:33] is it good to put ubuntu in usb by ntfs format of usb [23:33] BHXSpecter: You may compile it yourself or check if there's a PPA for it [23:33] Galeon according to google Natty has KDEvelop 4.2.2 but I still have Maverick getting ready to upgrade to natty though [23:33] i get index error while running script on a file. what could be the issue? [23:33] Where can I download more visualizations? [23:34] !eyecandy | Superstar [23:34] Superstar: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [23:34] BHXSpecter: Packages goes to a lot of testing before being made available, so the repos don't always have the latest ones. [23:34] Zaksoldier: The quick answer is no. [23:34] ctmjr ^^ they are not visualizations [23:35] i get index error while running script on a file. what could be the issue? [23:36] Is there any way to wardrive with Kismet and GPSD - real-time? [23:36] first time here. trying to pick up the thread of conversations. [23:36] If I upgrade right now from 10.10 to 11.04 developers edition, Will I be able to upgrade to final edition, or will I'll be stuck with devs edition?? [23:36] !final [23:36] If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Natty Narwhal and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Natty. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [23:37] Osmodivs: you'll be able to upgrade to final. see #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion and support until release day. [23:37] ssorc: Welcome [23:38] Is there any way to wardrive with Kismet and GPSD - real-time? does anyone know if it even possible? [23:38] I don't understand = my clock on the menu panel is stuck on sat april 16 10:36 am... [23:39] Then I'll ALT-F2 update-manager -d If there is no problem [23:39] ssorc: It gets a little fast around here; especially for those of us (me in particular) who don't type too well [23:39] Osmodivs, that will bring you to the next developer version (probably not what you want) [23:39] sidewinder1: thank you [23:39] ZykoticK9, I am anxious to try 11.04 [23:40] ssrorc: Welks [23:40] Osmodivs, oh sorry, i gotch - from 10.10 - sorry. [23:41] i tried `kill -9 28494` but that process (apache2) is still running, how do I kill it? [23:42] rocketeerbkw: sudo service apache stop [23:42] rocketeerbkw: never use -9 unless absolutly neccesary [23:42] ssorc: Is your nic from Tolkien? [23:43] erUSUL: I did that and it says apache is stopped, but there are still apache process runing [23:43] Playing quicktime streams using gecko engine is very buggy and marginally useable. Is there a better comparability on the horizon. Flash implementation seems much better but it still has issues. I love linux but these issues keep me stuck with Windows. [23:43] Can I install a real time kernel after installing 10.10? [23:43] what is the proper way to file a bug against natty daily? it wasn't clear from launchpad how to do it [23:44] hi sorry to ppl i was chatting2, lost internet [23:44] @superstar yes, just go to synaptic and search for kernel to install the realtime [23:44] !bug | codeslingercomsp [23:44] codeslingercomsp: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [23:45] sidewinder1: nope. nic is my surname backwards. chat here seems mostly tech stuff beyond me. how bout you [23:45] codeslingercomsp, same way to report any ubuntu bug really? Do you know what package(s) are involved? [23:45] !ispcp === java_ is now known as El_Java [23:47] Superstar: because I'm here. :) [23:47] yeah.. sheesh... people always say ubuntu-bug but fail to realise that only possible when system is mostly working... I get no video after initial boot of live cd. I know how to file bugs but dont know what area to file this under -- from past reading know that people get hot and bother if beta bugs filed in wrong place [23:47] ssorc: Yea, it's fast but with some things I can help; as long as it's not too totally technical. That's the FOSS philosophy... [23:47] ^^ [23:49] apt-get update && sapt-get moo [23:49] codeslingercomsp: The page that factoid links to says how to report bugs directly in Launchpad. [23:49] *sapt=apt === uh is now known as damascene [23:50] @rww thx but that page conspicously says nothing about natty -- as a matter of fact - it is the page that told me to ask questions here [23:50] anyone wanna help me get my scrolling working on my touchpad on ubuntu 10.10? it works fine the 11.04 beta but i really don't wanna use that. [23:50] codeslingercomsp: The process for reporting bugs in natty is exactly the same as the process for reporting bugs in released versions of Ubuntu. [23:51] any1 know why a dell laptop wont install xp? im doing it as a dual boot [23:51] i have a Dell M5030, http://pastebin.com/7zDbbrEQ [23:51] @rww ok thx.... I will just plunge in then [23:52] KINGOFSWORDS, new laptop? [23:52] codeslingercomsp: and the only time that page mentions #ubuntu is when it says you should use #ubuntu instead of Launchpad to request support. [23:52] (as support requests are not bugs) [23:52] yeh kinda [23:52] that would probably be why, dell says my laptop only supports windows 7 :s :< [23:53] it had/has 5gb patition for what i think is recovery of vista...i deleted in gparted [23:53] @rww, well okay, so for no video and suggesstions? I tried vga=788 and that did not work. [23:53] but something is stopping me installing xp [23:53] wisdom? [23:54] i thought dell put in all sorts of annoying thing to stop ppl installing what they want [23:54] any one knows how to debug microphone issue? [23:54] lol well b4 i get to the bit i need wisdom for pieisyum [23:54] !bluez [23:54] also Im not sure what to call it? I get the walking dots of the splash, I can even get the line by line boot up. but once all is said and done and it tries to switch screen mode there is a flash and then nothing the screen image never changes. I know it boots because it goves startup sound [23:55] Hi. for some reason my ubuntu theme has gone to a windows classic sort of style, just grey. however the title bar still retains the theme, just everything else is grey! [23:55] any ideas? [23:56] codeslingercomsp: you tried removing the quiet and splash from the kernel options at the grub boot screen? [23:56] codeslingercomsp: this will probably yield more clues [23:56] huddy: check if gnome-settings-daemon is running or zombie [23:57] huddy: open a terminal and use : "ps -fe | grep gnome-settings-daemon" or run gnome-system-monitor and make sure all processes are listed then look for gnome-settings-daemon [23:57] @airtronix yes I did that and got line by line as it detected stuff and then when it should be showing the desktop, there is bright flash at that point and then it resumes displaying the last image [23:58] <[TK]D-Fender> KINGOFSWORDS: what error or problem are you seeing? === secretar1_linux is now known as secretary_linux [23:58] note the video works just fine on ubuntu 10.10 [23:58] a blank screen [23:58] codeslingercomsp: i've actually no idea about your specific problem, tried disabling plymouth? [23:58] <[TK]D-Fender> KINGOFSWORDS: at what point in the process? [23:58] beginning [23:58] not evena 'press any key to install' prompt [23:58] <[TK]D-Fender> kingDo you see the "press any key to boot from CD"? [23:59] nope [23:59] @airtronix he he he, I've been reading about plymoth... but have no idea how to do that to a live cd... [23:59] <[TK]D-Fender> KINGOFSWORDS: then you have another prolem. Maybe a bad disk, maybe you're using an incorrect boot order, etc [23:59] on other pc i do...thats y i think its a dell problem [23:59] codeslingercomsp: me either off the top of my head. [23:59] i boot from cd in bios [23:59] codeslingercomsp: what version are you using? [23:59] KINGOFSWORDS: Had you installed Windows XP on that laptop before? [23:59] codeslingercomsp: what video card do you have ? [23:59] nope
