[00:00] ahh it's an intel HDA card, I found the wiki for it [00:00] jx oh, it seems to play but not "update" the image [00:01] ok, this is odd. I finally bothered to try to connect to a real windows machine's share, STILL demands a domain. so, for some reason UNR is demanding I enter a domain. === odonata_ is now known as odonata [00:03] ugh still not working. Intel HDA audio, followed wiki to no avail, can't get sound output [00:04] redwolf: use "ubuntu-bug alsa-base" if you're running jaunty [00:04] is it posible to use compiz on two different session with an intel x3100 video card? [00:04] redwolf: then tell us the bug report # created [00:05] dtchen: ok will do [00:07] I restarted my ubuntu 9.04 install and it gets part of the way through the boot up process then hangs and displays this on the screen http://paste.ubuntu.com/204529/ [00:09] is it possible to rename a user? [00:10] iceroot, quite easily [00:10] yo [00:11] is it true michael jackson is dead [00:11] what is going to run MS office 2007 better, newest wine or crossover 7.10 [00:11] !ot | acDC [00:11] acDC: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:11] acDC, yes, tho that's offtopic [00:11] dtchen: bug #392739 [00:12] redwolf: thanks [00:12] rob235: crossover probably, as wine gets most contributions from that. [00:12] mdm: this means no? [00:12] how do I calculate the SHA1 hash of a string (plus a salt)? [00:12] anyone know how to get flash to play through pulse audio in 9.04? [00:12] rob235: (developer base wise there's a lot of them that actually do crossover commercially to earn their living) [00:12] iceroot, sure, though the only way i can see it done is by editing the /etc/passwd file .. sudo EDITOR=nano vipw [00:13] iceroot, you can edit /etc/passwd,/etc/shadow and /etc/group by hand or use the usermod command [00:13] unop: then i have to mkdir new /home [00:13] is there any way to upgrade gos to ubuntu-desktop? [00:13] rob235: Of course... have you considered not using ms office? openoffice / koffice / abiword and more are good alternatives. [00:13] i wish codeweavers had another free download day to get crossover 8 [00:13] heh [00:13] can i make gnome network manager to default 3g for my 3g-modem, or connectiontype is called GSM? [00:13] iceroot, depends if you change the user's homedir or not [00:13] redwolf: you can erase /etc/asound.conf; we already have that by default [00:13] sachael, sha1sum <<<"your string here" [00:13] redwolf: (see /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf) [00:13] unop: ah ok, thx [00:14] Radtoo: ive considered it, i dont like openoffice at all, i think ms office is great [00:14] unop, but where does the salt go? [00:14] sachael, there is no salt for SHA digests [00:14] dtchen: gotcha [00:15] redwolf: also, if you intend to use headphones on your onboard HDA, you might want try unmuting the 'Headphones' mixer control ;-) [00:15] HI its me again [00:15] want to try* [00:15] anyone on my flash issue? [00:15] redwolf: sorry, 'Headphone' [00:15] dtchen: I'll try that, right now it's connected to the speaker output though [00:15] I just instaled ubuntu [00:15] dtchen: actually, I've already tried that [00:16] toyo|desk i think flash generally has problems atm [00:16] dtchen: I've turned it on and off [00:16] redwolf: then see Surround, Center, LFE, and Side. Note how they're unmuted and zeroed. [00:16] Complete lockup issue: been using ubuntu since 5.04 on this laptop but this time did a full-wipe install of 9.04, and now I'm getting complete lockup, cant ctrl-alt-backspace (or del) or *anything*... what log or other things could I look into for clues? [00:16] who is using a tiling wm here? [00:16] mickster04, problems with pulse? [00:16] dtchen: wierd they were enabled earlier....lemme try them again [00:16] hi - i have connected to a remote desktop via vnc .. if i make sudo su in a terminal and open wireshark, he tells me that i cannot open display [00:16] why? [00:16] dsdeiz: sure [00:16] I have problems, when I start computer ther is list of OS ,how can I get it off? [00:17] it works without sudo su, but i need to be root for wireshark [00:17] dtchen: may i ask what you are using? :-? [00:17] what°s the new [00:17] dtchen: nothing [00:17] toyo|desk nah, i cant get flash media to work online.

[00:17] dsdeiz: xmonad or awesome in tiling mode [00:17] cool B-) [00:17] rob235: Well. If you think so. Even so, list price is 10 times of crossover. Might be worth to get the better emulation. ;) [00:18] redwolf: can you try a 2.6.30 mainline build? [00:18] toyo|desk, works ;) can you explain why? [00:18] cirvis, that's GRUB. You will want to keep that one. Just reduce the boot delay if you are bothered by it. [00:18] redwolf: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/ [00:18] Hi guys [00:18] cirvis, don't set it to 0 or -1 though (!) [00:18] hallo [00:18] dtchen: sure, may take me a few mins [00:18] pw-toxic, not sure think it has to do with the display variables being exported or something to the program [00:19] redwolf: doing so will help us determine whether it's fixed in a newer version (and thus in karmic, automatically) [00:19] my laptop webcam suddenly stopped working as in, my applications don't see it anymore. Any ideas ? [00:19] ok unop if you insist, a salt isnt special, its simply the input you start whatever algorthem you have, litteraly a sha digest hash is created froma salt, they ARE the input sring [00:19] dtchen: I'll be on my laptop while I'm installing [00:19] There's some bugs, I know of at least two in various programs, in Qt 4.5.0 which is the version that is in Jaunty right now; where on Launchpad do I file a bug report to request 4.5.1 to be backported to all Jaunty users? [00:19] mdm, no, salts are not the cleartext - they're the initialisation vectors [00:19] redwolf: ok, feel free to query me privately. i'm offline for about 30 minutes. [00:20] well ok.. , where can I get videocard drivers? [00:20] does anyone have an idea why my ubuntu 9.04 64 bit fails to shut down properly? i see a vibrant white screen (i have used encryption)? [00:20] hey, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and am trying to connect Ekiga to a local Asterisk box, I have iptables set to accept on incoming, outgoing, and forward, and I have Wireshark running, when I try to connect to the Asterisk box, I get "Request: REGISTER sip:[ipaddress]""Status: 404 Not Found" in wireshark [00:20] dtchen: do you want me to just do a dpkg install? [00:20] dtchen: or is there a preferred method? [00:20] Those notices that pop up in the upper right corner - connected to network, etc.: How do I get them to leave when they appear? Moving my mouse over one makes it disappear, but it comes back when I move my mouse away. (gnome, ubuntu-9.04) [00:21] cirvis, what vidcard do you have? [00:21] anyone know if there's any progress on the gnometris bug? [00:21] onexused try clicking or right-clicking? [00:21] unop, a salt is random data that can be combined with clear text, its just initilization values and are used to stop brute force attacks [00:21] mdm, right, but a salt isn't the 'input string' [00:22] mickster04: On what? The notice disappears when I mouse over it, only to reappear when I move away. [00:22] onexused try it anyway [00:22] Is het possible to reset a encrypted home drive to decrypted again? [00:22] it *should* work [00:22] het => it [00:23] ok well i guess im giving up trying to compile crossover 8, i'll stick with 7.1.0 time to format and get things back to normal [00:23] onexused either, i think a click normally does it [00:23] on unop then in pratice salts are added to the end of the string, the whole thing, cleartext and all becomes the inititizaion. No the clear text is not ALL of the salt, but it is PART of it [00:23] Help with Complete lockup issue, please. I've been using ubuntu since 5.04 on this laptop but this time did a full-wipe install of 9.04, and now I'm getting complete lockup, cant ctrl-alt-backspace (or del) or *anything*... what log or other things could I look into for clues?

[00:27] <^Phantom^> like, let's say i'm playing a song in a VirtualBox machine, can I capture that to a file? [00:27] Janhouse, you would have to make a repository and add it, includung listing those packages in a list of the files and a key that singed them [00:27] cirvis, you should be able to install the driver after you have installed ubuntu (or don't you get any image at all?)

[00:29] dazjorz, That's not really a bug now is it? More like a feature request. [00:29] kseise: I know launchpad.net... just, what to file it against, etc. :) [00:30] Hi good day [00:30] <^Phantom^> Is there ANY program I can use to capture any audio that comes through the sound card? [00:30] matreya6: there are a few bugs in qt 4.5.0 which manifest themselves as crashes in other programs, so it's really fixing multiple bugs [00:30] Janhouse, here is how you can setup your own repository http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto#setting-up [00:30] ^Phantom^, try Audacity [00:30] mdm thx [00:30] 27 m leicester im me womens lol [00:31] <^Phantom^> okay will try [00:31] matreya6: not for new features, 4.5.1 is mainly a bug-fixing release, not only "regular" bugs but also crash fixes [00:31] !ot | antz [00:31] antz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[00:32] does anyone else get Jaunty 64 bit to hang during reboot/shutdown? [00:32] i've been checking around, seems like it happens, but i fail to see a fix [00:32] matreya6: good idea, let's try that [00:32] matreya6: though I think qt 4.5.1 is already in backports for jaunty, still apparantly people don't have backports enabled [00:33] matreya6: anything you can tell me about that? is it enabled by default? etc [00:33] hey [00:33] dazjorz, That's their choice :-) [00:33] Excuse me, someone know how to change the path of a installation? [00:33] on terminal? [00:33] matreya6: most of the time, they have no clue [00:33] not that they are stupid, but they don't know stuff in there also fixes crashes [00:33] why not move qt 4.5.1 into mainstream jaunty, if it fixes things like that - as far as I know, it's a bugfix release, so it breaks nothing :) [00:33] if you agree with that, I'm going to file a bug [00:34] <^Phantom^> ojkay [00:34] <^Phantom^> matreya6: how do i get it to record something that is playing in a different program?

This is the situation: 1 RAID 1 volume using two disks with XP32Bit on the first partition and the rest of the partitions used by Ubuntu 9.04. I have installed grub using the Alternate installer, but my box boots straight to Windows, skipping grub altogether... [00:36] Rob235: there's no real reason to really start to use either... if you have ext3, keep it, if you install a new system, choose ext4, it's not *that* much of a difference [00:36] Rob235: if your building fresh I'd go ext4 [00:36] <|sanchez|> on ubuntu live what is su password ?

[00:39] <^Phantom^> matreya6, can you please help me do that? [00:39] <^Phantom^> I don't think I have Jack... [00:39] onexused, though i must say - it's not recommended that you leave out the recommended packages - certain applications will refuse to work properly [00:39] matreya6: though, most problems of the BIOS skipping grub, is that it's not installed in the mbr of the first drive correctly, I don't think RAID is related to that, then again, I've never done it so I don't know for sure [00:39] i need to install gtkscintilla software, but the default folder where its installing, doesnt help me, i have the php.ini pointing to another folder [00:39] What's the Issue EgEm? [00:40] where there are all other addons [00:40] matreya6: try sudo grub-install /dev/sda and such things [00:40] so, i dont know how can i change the path of the installation of gtkscintilla [00:40] :( [00:40] dazjorz, at the moment I don't have an install on that box yet that recognizes my RAID setup. [00:40] hola [00:40] someone here told me about to make a link, but, it doesnt work [00:40] matreya6: I think RAID setup only starts after grub, possibly...

[00:43] So if I'm running rsync over ssh, I can't run as root because the remote system has root ssh login disabled, so how can I preserve the owner of the files I'm transferring? :/ [00:44] volve: try tar -A, it saves username etc [00:44] volve: tar in archiving mode :) [00:44] dazjorz: but won't that kind of defeat the benefits of rsync? :/ [00:44] Got a problem with audio on 9.04. I have a onboard VIA 8235 chipset. Everything appeared to be good in /proc/asound/cards and /proc/asound/modules but still no audio (made sure all the switches in the volume control were good and ran spearker-test).

[00:45] i was using ssh [00:45] Wow [00:45] Guys [00:46] what do I need to install to get mms links like http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/worldservice working? [00:46] Bboy09: is aptitude still running? pgrep -l apt [00:46] yes [00:46] volve: yes, it will [00:46] volve: but then, only root is allowed to write files as a different user [00:46] Bboy09: what stage were you at? i'd suggest killing it and restarting it. if you were downloading, aptitude will resume downloading [00:47] I restarted my ubuntu 9.04 install and it gets part of the way [00:47] through the boot up process then hangs and displays this on the [00:47] screen http://paste.ubuntu.com/204529/ any ideas on fixing this so it will boot all the way up? [00:47] volve: what you may want to try, is to get rsync to not run rsync remotely, but "sudo rsync" [00:47] dazjorz: right, right, hmm, maybe I can use --rsync-path and do something clever on the remote system... :) [00:47] Bboy09: also, i'd suggest running future updates in screen if your connection isn't stable [00:47] volve: then add the user to /etc/sudoers as NOPASSWD (use `visudo') [00:47] volve: it will allow rsync to write files as root :) [00:47] raylu: i got this 16964 aptitude [00:47] dazjorz: exactly, interesting, thanks :) [00:48] dazjorz: actually, can a sudoers entry only allow certain commands to be run as NOPASSWD? I'd feel uncomfortable having an entire user set to NOPASSWD [00:48] volve: yes [00:49] volve: yep :) [00:49] raylu: interesting!

[00:50] volve: by the way, why do you need to preserve ownership anyway? [00:50] raylu: I thought that ssh is rock solid. [00:50] volve: there's a firewall in the way preventing you from running an rsyncd but sshd works? [00:51] Kjell: what? [00:51] raylu: because I'm trying to mirror a hot backup for many users photos :/ [00:51] volve: When you edit sudoers, first run "sudo -i" in a terminal, and keep that terminal open until you've confirmed that your changes worked. [00:51] raylu: For connecting with other system. [00:51] volve: and the users all have their own directories, right? [00:51] raylu: doesn't rsyncd need a dedicated port? the only ports I have available at 80 & 22 [00:51] Kjell: for getting a shell, yes. for writing files as root with rsync, not so much [00:52] volve: oh. that sucks. [00:52] raylu: yeah I was thinking the same thing :\ [00:52] unop, totem, schmotem :) [00:52] volve: as long as each user has his/her own directory, you shouldn't worry about preserving ownership [00:52] geirha: ah, haven't heard of sudo -i, thanks! [00:52] can i speak spanish here? [00:52] raylu: I been using sshfs. But not for backup stuff.

[02:27] how can i move the gnome panels to a different monitor? [02:27] damagu, probably in gconf [02:27] kjell: it says permission denied so I guess i need to copy it useing the terminal and sudo? [02:27] kain,i haven't [02:28] kiah: you have to enable that in the software-sources thing [02:28] Seany: :S [02:28] kiah, you need to enable upgrade from normal releases. Since 8.04 is LTS it will be default LTS only [02:28] kain what is it [02:28] does anyone know of a gook music player besides amarok? Amarok is broken. [02:28] Crazy, I'll have to checkout pidgin/irc tomorrow. I never even thought of using pidgin for irc. I guess you learn something new everyday [02:28] 10? ION;PMO']. [02:28] Seany: what's FreeNX u mean? [02:28] phasegen, whats wrong with amarok! [02:28] kain, yea yea! [02:28] phasegen: I like Rhythmbox === _joe_ is now known as Hilaroiusity [02:28] phasegen:Rhythmbox is good [02:28] phasegen, you can install the old amarok 1.4 [02:29] since 2 sucks [02:29] it wont play anything. it just zips through it in a tenth of a second and stops [02:29] klak: find a client that supports that kind of feature then, and change the url handler for irc in gconf [02:29] Kjell: I cant figure out how excatly to use the terminal to copy a file or move it? [02:29] Is irc a plugin for pidgin? [02:29] Seany: its a Desktop virtualization and remote access Management [02:29] mr_frostee, no [02:29] unith [02:30] unitheory: ah! thanks I'll look [02:30] Seany: and i prety sure its opensource [02:30] Kjell, mgolisch : How do I do this? Sorry, I'm new to ubuntu [02:30] shunobies: to copy a file: cp /path/to/original/file /path/to/destination/ [02:30] shunobies: to move a file: mv /path/to/original/file /path/to/destination/ [02:30] unitheory...Thanks [02:30] unitheory: how do I get 1.4? seeker160: Rythmbox is not good, trust me... [02:30] Ghoti: ty [02:30] shunobies, use sudo cp [02:30] shunobies: anytime:) [02:30] unitheory: thanks alot. you advice worked. kudos you just saved me a headache [02:30] Seany: but i'm not sure for the opensource, but it's free that i'm sure [02:30] unitheory: where is gconf these days? It used to be under Apps > Accessories I think [02:30] kain, looks good, have you tried it? [02:31] phasegen: what's wrong with rhythmbox? (actually curious) [02:31] phasegen....I like Banshee a lot and it works with mt iPod [02:31] yup [02:31] Kjell: ty [02:31] Seany: yup [02:31] I know my way around linux, though, so I guess I'm more comfortable with command line /config file methods than these fancy ubuntu wizard guis [02:31] Seany: the only problem is that i have Dual Monitors [02:31] phasegen: song bird isnt too bad of a music player, im sure there are better but i rather like it [02:31] Kjell: the -l username option of what? ssh? [02:31] volve, shh server - l username [02:31] phasegen, first uninstall your current amarok (sudo aptitude purge amarok) then run sudo echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amarok.list && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install amarok14 [02:31] eglandon1: does Songbird have Touch/iPhone support yet? [02:32] Kjell: do i need to restart or just restart firefox to work? [02:32] kain, looks open source to me, whats up with the dual monitors.. when remoting to the dual monitors? [02:32] damagu, command: gconf-editor [02:32] shunobies, yes you need to restart firefox [02:32] Kjell: oh, logging into ssh isn't the problem, that actually works :) it's getting the bash variable into the command... which is failing for some reason [02:32] Ghoti: It's not configureable [02:32] eglandon1: hehe, songbird is a RAM hog. I used to like it, and exaile, until I realised mpd + midas + gmpc does what I need and doesn't consume 200MB RAM+ and lag with my 23000song library [02:32] volve: replace ' with " [02:32] damagu, the gconf-editor is hidden by default [02:32] Seany: and when i log in to my computer, i have problems with the doing combination keys "alt-tab" for example, and when i open windows, i don't see the title bar ( with the - ^ X) [02:32] damagu, the menu entry i mean [02:32] raylu: hmm [02:32] is there any benefits to emerald over gtk? [02:32] Seany: this is when i connect from a windows pc [02:33] Kjell: are you using compiz? [02:33] unitheory: ah hiding things from the user... very GNOME :) [02:33] uh [02:33] ARMENIAN: it's allegedly prettier [02:33] kain: are you using compiz? [02:33] Can anyone help me connect my Palm 755p to Jaunty and have it show up in Nautilus? [02:33] has anyone here used hadoop? [02:33] kiah: nop [02:33] how do i restart pulseaudio without restarting ubuntu? [02:33] Ghoti_: ohh lol that's the only thing :P [02:33] kain: sounds like you don't have a window manager running [02:33] kiah: just normal effects [02:33] hello gud morning sir, i have P-3 ,1.1 MHz,512 RAM. I installed xubuntu 9.04.. problem is that... when i press shut down button... it showing "system halts"...but still cpu power on.. [02:33] damagu, indeed [02:33] kain what do you use on the windows box... nomachine nx? [02:33] Seany: yup [02:33] ARMENIAN: I've not used Emerald, so I'm not sure of any other benefits [02:33] ezzieyguywuf: sudo invoke-rc.d pulseaudio restart [02:33] kiah, well... I am just using the default that ship with ubuntu. Bad video card you see. [02:33] ok thanks :) [02:34] hello [02:34] another thing, when i go into my nvidia X Server Settings, it says that there is an error or something like that i don't remember exactly [02:34] is it only from the windows machine that has the problem? what about trying it on a ubuntu computer with 1 monitor? [02:34] ack my main toolbar on my desktop has disappeared how do I get it back? [02:34] kain, ahh always remove all errors! [02:34] raylu: heres my output- * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions [02:34] kain if there is an error related to the video, clear that first. [02:35] i tried :( [02:35] Kjell: hehe, yeah, well, that msg was actually intended for someone else. Sorry. Anyway, I have a 256MB nvidia on my main box and I use a tiling window manager (musca) with no special effects, so.. [02:35] kain whats the error [02:35] this may sound stupid but everyone tells me to open a terminal and i dont know what that is [02:35] Cosmo1: alt-F2, then type 'gnome-panel' [02:35] kain could be driver related or anything really [02:35] chris_: applications -> accessories -> Terminal [02:35] ezzieyguywuf: hm... i'm getting that too. i think it's a buggie script [02:36] ezzieyguywuf: *buggy [02:36] hey everyone can u tell me if ubuntu will run good on a asus P6T (920) 6 gigs ram nvida 260gtx serial ata hard drive??? [02:36] chris_: it's a command prompt, for controlling your system more efficiently than in the gui. [02:36] how do I upgrade from 8.04.2 to 8.10? [02:36] seahunter72: short answer: yes. [02:36] chris_: buf you need to learn how to use it, which is a long process. [02:36] Ghoti_: alt-f2 is not bringing anything up [02:36] anyone else got any other scripts for restarting pulseaudio? I've used one that works before... [02:36] so my network card and all will work ok?? [02:36] seahunter72: if i can run it on an inspiron 5100, im sure that it will scream on your computer [02:36] is there a guide for setting up a multi disk , multi boot system? what i ahve seen assumes one disk.... [02:37] So I screwed up compiling libz, and now I can't get my apache2 to start (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) any advice? [02:37] hello gud morning sir, i have P-3 ,1.1 MHz,512 RAM. I installed xubuntu 9.04.. problem is that... when i press shut down button... it showing "system halts"...but still cpu power on.. can any one fix this problem? [02:37] seahunter72, the best way is to boot a livecd and test it out [02:37] frogtoes: it's the same thing, just put the partitions on some other disk [02:37] how do I upgrade from 8.04.2 to 8.10 on the command line? [02:37] alexbobp: do-release-upgrade [02:37] kiah: thanks [02:37] Seany it told me to do sudo /etc/init.d/... [02:37] Cosmo1: was it just the top panel that went away, or both? If all of GNOME stopped, alt-f2 won't wrok [02:37] cool htkought so but i dont want to loose two other systems .. [02:37] thanks [02:37] #leave [02:37] Kjell: I have installed the flash plugin in now and am going to test it if I get logged off you will know it didn't work [02:38] so i whould try the 64-bit live cd ?? [02:38] should* [02:38] shunobies, lol okies [02:38] ezzieyguywuf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684222 [02:38] seahunter72, yes, if you want to use your 6gb of ram ;] [02:39] kain, did you it probably wants you to restart something [02:39] Seany and then restart x server [02:39] ghoti I had it set up with only 1 panel, in my response what I meant was that alt-2 is not bringing up any launcher [02:39] i did what it said, but nothing happened [02:39] thank you all for your time and does wine run better now?? [02:39] Going to Slee.e...e...Zzzzzzz [02:39] Cosmo1: alt-F2, not alt-2 :) [02:39] Kjell: lol now I have no flash playing at all it loads the area of the movie but nothing plays or displays [02:39] sanjay, What filesystem do you use? [02:39] ext 3 [02:40] Ghoti_: sorry I meant alt-f2 [02:40] seahunter72, wine is constantly improving but it's very far from perfect [02:40] Kjell: I enabled normal releases in software sources, but the update manager still isn't showing an upgrade option.. [02:40] i play source games should i use 2 hard drives to game with?? [02:40] kjell.. i am using ext 3 filesystem [02:40] kain: can you get a shell or the run dialog (alt+f2)? [02:40] shunobies, try the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins too [02:40] hmmm, i didn't try [02:40] Cosmo1: it's quite odd that that's not working, unless, again, somehow you've got a GNOME-free X session going now [02:40] kain: metacity should help you [02:41] kiah, you updated the list? [02:41] Kjell: I pressed the 'check' button.. [02:41] Cosmo1: try ctrl+alt+f1, then log in, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:41] metacity? [02:41] anybody know how to get to the repository dialog? [02:41] Hey Guys ! Can anyone say me how to use amr files? [02:41] i accidentally did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade using sources from the karmic repos instead of jaunty which is the version i was on. is there any way to get back to jaunty? [02:41] kiah, strange... you might try manually upgrade it though [02:41] kain: the window manager for gnome [02:41] Doesn't work with VLC...Perhaps additional codecs ? [02:41] aaahhh [02:41] chris_: you mean system -> administration -> software sources? [02:41] Ghoti_: consider invoke-rc.d over /etc/init.d [02:42] seahunter72: it should work fine with everything you have, however just insert the live cd and boot your computer you can run ubuntu off of the cd and it will show you how well it will work with everything [02:42] raylu: are they non synonymous? [02:42] hi room [02:42] Ghoti_: i'm not sure, actually [02:42] is there a voice chat solution in ubuntu?? [02:42] kjell, lol. I'm ahead of you i'm moved it to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/; /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/; /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.11/plugins/; and /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/; and /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ [02:42] !ekiga | krishmish [02:42] krishmish: ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [02:43] Kjell: do-release-upgrade works :). Thanks. [02:43] doing alt-f2 is not bringing up the run dialog, and it appears all the other gnome interface stuff seems to come up just cant get the run dialog to come up so I can try the gnome-panel command [02:43] how do I ping repeatedly such that I can see packet loss over an hour or so, as well as all steps between me and the address I'm pinging? I've seen a terminal app that does this but I can't remember the name... [02:43] jelly-bean1, a reinstall is you only solution. === chrispit1er is now known as chrispitzer [02:43] raylu: but will i be able to configure and use yahoo and gtalk>?? [02:43] hello [02:43] Cosmo1: just open a terminal instead and type it in there [02:43] chrispitzer: the former is annoying, tracert does the latter [02:43] krishmish: you asked for voicechat, not yahoo/gtalk. no [02:43] sanjay, Well a freeze can come from a lot of things... [02:44] raylu: hmm [02:44] chrispitzer, i think ping will do that for an hour === dazjorz is now known as dazjorz_irssi [02:44] krishmish: you can get skype as well, also if your a fan of msn messenger they have aMSN which supports voice and webcam [02:44] kjell. can u pls tell me in detail [02:44] how do I open a terminal if the gnome panel isnt showing mgolisch? [02:44] raylu: i have skype... [02:44] Cosmo1: alt-f2 [02:44] my sound stopped working as a result of this. how can i try to reinstall the sound? [02:44] raylu: I just read through it, and it seems to be a glorified wrapper for /etc/init.d/* [02:44] raylu: how about being able to tweak something for gtalk and yahoo?? [02:45] jelly-bean1: you've upgraded to karmic? why? [02:45] !karmic | jelly-bean1 [02:45] jelly-bean1: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [02:45] kiah alt-f2 is not bringing up the run dialog [02:45] Ghoti_: that was my conclusion too [02:45] Cosmo1: Have you uninstalled anything lately? If you uninstall evolution for instance, it will uninstall gnome-panel along with it ... [02:45] thhere's an app that will just turn it on and give you a nice step by step graphical display, updated every second... [02:45] Cosmo1: right click desktop -> new starter, and use gnome-terminal as the command for the starter [02:45] raylu: accidenty [02:45] krishmish: i believe pidgin supports both of those [02:45] Ghoti_: to be honest, i use it mostly because it tab-completes sooner ;D [02:45] kjell, when i boot up my computer.. its showing that BIOS[1999-2000] failed.... ist it related to this shut down problem [02:45] can anyone help me with jaunty and xbmc on ati [02:46] eglandon: but i want to able to voice chat [02:46] hi -- is there a way to access a shared music library that is in itunes 8.0 on another local network computer from within Intrepid (Rhythmbox, e.g.)?? [02:46] sanjay, did if halt before or is this just recently? [02:46] jelly-bean1: your system is set up so that you can't "accidentally" do major changes to your system like this. i suggest reinstalling, as downgrading is not simple [02:46] thanks mgolisch that got it back [02:46] raylu: I have $sv=/etc/init.d/ in my .profile, so I can use tab too: $sv :) [02:46] raylu: how can i reinstall w/o losing my files [02:47] krishmish: might be able to use the old programs for them using wine [02:47] jelly-bean1: not unless you created a separate /home partition. you can always just back them up, though [02:47] jon5000, i seem to recall that rhythmbox automatically detects local music shares [02:47] after i installed xubuntu... this message showing only for ubuntu plat forms.. windows xp is shutting down normally [02:47] hi all, i'm configuring an openvpn installation to watch hulu outside usa, and i don't know if i should fill country , province, city and those type of data with my real or with a false us data, what do you recommend me? [02:47] kjell,after i installed xubuntu... this message showing only for ubuntu plat forms.. windows xp is shutting down normally [02:47] eglandon: okay... [02:47] jelly-bean1, upgrading in that manner breaks your system. backup and reinstall is your option [02:47] yeah I had to uninstall runit earlier because it kept hanging on bootup [02:48] odd, tilda is segfauling on me now.. are there any decent (non-K) alternatives to it? [02:48] sanjay, did you do a resize on the partition when you installed xubuntu? [02:48] Ghoti_: tilda? [02:48] raylu: it's a quake-console-style terminal; bind a hotkey to make a terminal apear/disappear. quite handy. [02:49] unitheory, it does recognize my share, but it does not load the library. From what I read, Apple made the DAAP protocol proprietary with itunes 7. but i dont know if a workaround has been created yet... [02:49] kjell,yes.. i resized 34 GBpartition to 2 parts .. 1 st 32 gb for "\" and another 2 Gb for swap area [02:50] Ghoti_: oh, sounds like yakuake (also qt). sorry, no idea about alternatives [02:50] Ghoti_: but i'm sure they exist [02:50] any idea about what i said? [02:50] my ati x850 on jaunty doesnt load digital and analog channels at the same time is this a driver issue === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:50] Unitheory: had a look in gconf editor and I can't find anything relating to dialog boxes. Any ideas on where to find something that starts showing dialog boxes again after havign checked the "Don't show this again" boxes? [02:50] raylu: so yakuake is available without having smegloads of KDE libraries for one app? [02:51] jon5000, well ubuntu (including rhyhtmbox) would not ship with the proprietary protocol, so all hope is not lost. do some googling [02:51] Unitheory: correction I can plenty on dialog boxes. But nothing that relates to my problem. [02:51] sanjay, you might try another fsck to see if there is a problem. I know that resize often checks but last time I did my resize it corrupt the filesystem. [02:51] damagu, what dialog box are you wanting to see? [02:51] raylu: drat, seems not: it's wanting to install way too much KDE cruft for my taste :( [02:51] Ghoti_: er, no, i don't think so [02:52] unitheory, i have done some googling. no luck yet.. thought I would swing by here to see if anyone else has it figured. i cant be alone! [02:52] kjell sir, can u pls tell me how to do this fsck procedure [02:52] unitheory: it's the one that shows up after you create a .Xmodmap file and restart X. [02:52] sanjay, to do a fsck you need to login as recovery mode. Press esc before the grub countdown. and select the Recovery image [02:53] !in | sanjay [02:53] sanjay: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [02:53] ok [02:53] raylu... gud morning [02:53] unitheory: it shows up upon login with a left panel and a right panel. You choose the .Xmodmap file form the right pane, click add, and then it appears in the left pane. [02:53] I just set up pidgin as an irc client. I can't believe this is new to me, I'm such a retard. [02:53] I know this is the Ubuntu channel (And I'm using Kubuntu) but no one is responding in #kubuntu and Id really like to get this fixed, so maybe one of you could help. I installed Kubuntu 9.04 this morning, and several programs cause my computer to completely lock up (quassel, konqueror, jackqtl, and several others) This really is a pain since tons of my programs i need to use just render the computer compltely useless. How can i figure out why these [02:53] programs are cauing mycomputer to lock-up so I can try to fix this? [02:53] thank u kjell Sir... [02:53] sanjay, after the boot you will get a menu where you can do a fsck. [02:54] thank You very much [02:54] unitheory: I accidentally chose "don't show this again" and now that I've modified the file I can't get the dialog to appear again [02:54] If it complains about mounted fs then drop to a shell and umount it [02:54] damagu: isn't there an option for switching those keys in system > preferences > keyboard > layouts > layout options? [02:55] raylu: unfortunately not the ones I want to swap = Ctrl and the Win/Super/Command key [02:55] damagu: also, consider renaming .Xmodmap to .xmodmaprc. i had an issue similar to yours before [02:55] raylu: what does that do? Any idea? [02:55] unitheory: why is it always this complicated? Do you know where I can get the key for http://ppa.launchpad.net/bogdanb/ppa/ubuntu ??? [02:55] damagu: that's the filename recommended by the xmodmap manpage [02:56] raylu: oh. Okay. I'll give it a shot. [02:56] phasegen, do you need one? [02:56] It says I do... [02:56] o.o [02:57] 1330 people and only 1 or 2talking :\ [02:57] raylu: alright renamed. Now I'll restart X. I'll come back and let you know if it worked. And I'll come back and hassle you if it doesn't :) [02:57] chachin: welcome to irc [02:57] damagu: :D [02:58] chachin, it can get messy sometimes [02:58] heh [02:58] raylu: fwiw, fixed tilda; somehow the config file got wanged. === kl is now known as Kjell [03:00] I am testing irc clients if you notice :) [03:01] phasegen, here is the key http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xB9F1C432AE74AE63 [03:01] phasegen, sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \ [03:01] 0x1d7e9dd033e89ba781e32a24b9f1c432ae74ae63 [03:01] unitheory: "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY B9F1C432AE74AE63" [03:01] I know this is the Ubuntu channel (And I'm using Kubuntu) but no one is responding in #kubuntu and Id really like to get this fixed, so maybe one of you could help.

[03:03] unitheory, A bit better than xhcat [03:03] unitheory, xchat* [03:03] max__, well that was my only advice... sorry [03:03] unitheory: thank you - again... [03:03] Apollo2366: Thanks anyway, youre the first to acknowledge me so far. [03:04] max__, how much memory do you have? [03:04] hrmm...weird [03:04] matrixblue: 3gb. [03:04] unitheory, but mirc I find is best [03:04] max__, have you ran any versions of Kubuntu before Jaunty? [03:04] Kjell, i miss mirc :[ [03:05] Kjell: I am rather fond of irssi myself, but xchat is my GUI IRC client of choice. [03:05] Jaunty:Samba:Issue: I have samba setup on a 9.04 desktop sharing a usb2 hard drive formatted to ext3. Clients are able to access the share over the network, however at random, the drive will open up in nautilus all by itself on the server computer and show an additional icon for the drive on the desktop, at that point all of the clients display as an empty folder when the share is accessed. Only way i have found to get service back is to [03:05] matrixblue: Yes, ive been running kubuntu since 5.10. [03:05] Ghoti_, xchat was a bit dull =p [03:05] what is the difference btw ufw and iptables ? [03:06] Kjell: no more so than a stock mIRC is. *shrug* [03:06] ufw is the interface for iptables [03:06] max__, when you say lock you do you mean completely unresponsive requiring a reboot or a bad slowdown? [03:06] Anirban1987, ufw is uncomplicated [03:06] iptables is the actual firewall [03:06] matrixblue: Completely unresponsive. I have to press the powerbutton. [03:06] After a simple gui that can record from a tuner card in ubuntu. Any recommendations [03:07] Ghoti_, habits you know [03:07] or gufw for the GUI [03:07] Kjell: I hear ya [03:07] max__, do you remember the last time it did that? I was you to check the kernel log for more information [03:07] matrixblue: A few seconds before i logged into this room. [03:08] raylu: Thanks mate. The dialog came back. However, after choosing my new .Xmodmaprc file and clicking "add" nothing has changed. [03:08] max__: are your capslock/numlock lights flashing, by any chance? [03:08] I have gufw run at start up [03:08] max__: (when it locks up) [03:08] raylu: weird thing is all the commands in that file work if I just plug them in indvidually to the command line [03:08] damagu: that was my experience too :P [03:08] raylu: I hadn't noticed. Its a laptop and its hard to see the lights, so them flashing wouldnt get my attention. [03:09] damagu: you shouldn't have to plug them in individually. xmodmap .xmodmaprc should be sufficient. also, you should lowercase the X, like it says in the manapage [03:09] Can I install and run Firestarter for configuring iptables without having X-window env. installed ? [03:09] max__, pastebi the contents of /var/log/kern.log [03:09] matrixblue: Alright, one moment. [03:09] raylu: I can try that. If it doesn't work I can stick them in a script I guess and have them execute on startup. [03:09] Ghoti_, how do you exit irssi? ctrl + c works but.. Everntually connect? === jX_ is now known as jX [03:09] max__, or rather just the parts around the time the last lockup occured [03:10] Anirban....ufw will work, not sure about firestarter, is it GUI [03:10] Kjell: '/quit' [03:10] Kjell: '/quit' also works for just about any other IRC client as well [03:10] /quit [03:10] Ghoti_, ah stupid me. was typing quit [03:10] anyone know whats up with pidgin on jaunty? [03:10] anybody in here use ampache? Seems all in the channel are unavailable for assistance [03:10] ravious: you mean with YIM?

[03:11] !yahoo [03:11] At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [03:11] unitheory, and anyone else who is interested: the fix for sharing itunes library with rhythmbox is a program called Firefly. It runs on the itunes machine and shares the library itself. rhythmbox goes and gets that share. Stupid that apple would necessitate this by making their daap protocol secret. === kl is now known as Kjell [03:11] ravious: there's a fix here: http://is.gd/1fgXw [03:11] ravious, pidgin will be replaced by empathy in 9.10 [03:11] ravious, you have to add the ppa to update to the latest version. Yahoo changed some stuff recently [03:11] ravious....change the server [03:11] ravious i had same problem i just upgraded to newest version and it was fixed [03:12] jon5000, glad you figured it out ;] [03:12] Ghoti_: I guess I can live without the user list [03:12] unitheory: is there a way to update ubottu's mesasge with the actual fix at http://is.gd/1fgXw ? [03:12] thanks snakdoc.. :) mr_frostee, i tried that but it stopped working even after that.. program would seg fault [03:12] Kjell: you can have the userlist shown in irssi I believe. I generally rely on tab-completion [03:12] Ghoti_, there certainly is... but I don't know how [03:12] since i installed libpam-smbpass any lvm command i use is showing "File descriptor 5 left open" anyone could explain me how this is related to eachother?

[03:13] ravious....I changed to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com and pidgin started working again [03:13] unitheory, nod [03:13] Ghoti_: Well I use that too. but sometimes I just want to browser the list to recall the nicks [03:14] id did for me too for a couple days, then it died again :( now i cant even start it cuz it seg faults lol :( [03:14] Kjell: /who #channel :) [03:14] max__, did you do a fresh install? [03:14] Yes. [03:14] pidgin will still be around. empathy will be the default instead of pidgin is all. [03:14] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main i added that [03:14] Ghoti_: Does not show anything [03:15] I tried empathy a few days ago when I read the news.

[03:16] anyone know how one continues booting after manually lvm lvchange -a y into volume? this is at the initramfs prompt? [03:17] Kjell: no, '/who' is just a snapshot. looking for a realtime userlist script for ya :) [03:18] I tried empathy a few days ago when I read the news. I didn't like it at all. pidgin rocks. [03:18] Ghoti_: Thanks. Well after like a few /who commands and you get an unreadable text [03:19] Kjell: /n or /names [03:19] mr_frostee, I don't use either, so I couldn't compare [03:19] Kjell: /scrollback levelclear -level clientcrap [03:19] Kjell: will clear the output of /who [03:19] Kjell: in short, /sb l -l clientcrap [03:19] max__, not seeing anything here but I could be overlooking something. Does it lookup as soon as you open the app or at a certain point? [03:20] As soon. === anom01y is now known as Loren [03:20] raylu: I guess I stick with weechat. It has the userlist ;) [03:20] max__, which apps are these again? [03:20] matrixblue, max__: this is of the current session, i believe. you want an older log [03:21] matrixblue, max__: /var/log/kern.log.0, .1.gz, etc. [03:21] Konqueror, Jackctl, Quassel. [03:21] Kjell: actually, i've found that the userlist is quite useless [03:21] raylu: That was just part of it. [03:21] max__: huh? [03:21] max__, raylu try /var/log/kern.log.0 [03:22] Hello good people [03:23] raylu: well it gives you a quick look on who is channel op [03:23] Kjell: found one: you can download it from http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/dr_who.pl - put that in ~/.irssi/scripts [03:23] Ghoti_: thanks but weechat has it too [03:24] matrixblue: raylu: http://pastebin.com/m6ba3f0e5 [03:24] weechat? That's new to me; I'll have to give it a look-see [03:24] Kjell: no, it lists _all_ the people in the channel. you generally only care about a few [03:25] raylu: perhaps you are right. But you know old habits are hard to change [03:25] Ghoti_: I just need to figure out how to scroll the list now.. [03:25] hello. when recompiling the kernel there is an option for CANBUS support, where can I find information on this feature? [03:26] max__, this is from 10am go back to the kern.log and pastebin the entire thing [03:27] max__: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0301.3/1033.html [03:27] Kjell: looks like meta2-23 and meta2-24. not sure which two keys those actually are [03:27] how can i make ubuntu boot faster? less than 1 minute to xfce desktop would suffice. 1gb ram 1.6ghz pentium M [03:28] unitheory: play around (carefully) with update-rc.d [03:29] hello. when recompiling the kernel there is an option for CANBUS support, where can I find information on this feature? [03:29] raylu, what is that link saying in essence? [03:29] I cant past it into a pastebin. [03:30] Its too large i guess.

Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [03:30] matrixblue: that you need to poke around in your bios for those two settings [03:30] matrixblue: assuming you're on a laptop [03:30] matrixblue: and by you, i mean max__ [03:31] i'm not exactly sure what the mtrr is, but i assume it has something to do with virtual addressing [03:31] raylu, understood [03:31] Ghoti_: f11 and f12.

[03:32] max__, matrixblue: like i said, poke around in your bios for those settings [03:32] Hello all. Ethernet problem: Installed the ATI 9.6 drivers. Worked great but killed my ethernet adapter (on board for a Dell Vostro 410). Re-installed ubuntu 9.04, and it still does not work. ifconfig shows an eth0, at interrupt 252, but does not work. [03:32] evon: lists your free space by partition [03:32] raylu: it says it's full but it should not be. [03:32] Checkmatt, works on livecd ? [03:33] raylu: i've deleted files and emptied the trash [03:33] And of course, Dell only distributed the BIOS flash as a 32 bit Windows program, so I am really avoiding that. [03:33] hwilde: have not triede livecd. Will now [03:33] not sure if its a thunderird thing or ubuntu or even windows..

[03:35] hwilde: I can do it from the install, right? [03:35] if so, in progress now [03:35] yes open firefox see if you have internet [03:35] checkmat can you get the book ubuntu unleashed [03:36] hwilde: booting [03:36] max__: then you, matrixblue, and i are mostly in the same boat. but basically, your kern.log showed some mtrr error around 400+, which is about 3 minutes after booting [03:36] Ghoti_: Nice. It is not easy to learn new stuff when the buttons are not so intuitive placed [03:36] my fear is the ATI driver setup screwd up the eth0, moving its settings [03:36] and I want to move them back [03:36] max__: i googled around and mtrr has something to do with virtual addressing, so it sounds like something serious enough to bring your system down [03:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/204620/ [03:36] hwilde: nope, just like the regular install, shows Wired Network disconnecte3d [03:36] max__: assuming it's the issue, i'd poke around in your bios for the options mentioned [03:37] checkmatt hold let me look the book [03:37] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/204620/ [03:37] raylu: What options, i just dont understand what that post is talking about.

[03:38] max__: something about low memory ranges. i've seen an option like that in my bios [03:38] thing gets me is firefox did it perfect [03:38] checmatt go to hardware drivers on the menu [03:38] raylu: Alright, ill check that out. [03:38] raylu, max__ I think the error has something to do with http://paste.ubuntu.com/204622/ [03:38] max__: also, if you happen to have two graphics cards, disabling one may help [03:38] snakdoc, no, i think installing in windows puts the files in one place, and installing in linux puts them in a different place, and now you should have both [03:38] I am having this error msg in phpmyadmin : Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.75 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.31.

Right when I finished installing Ubuntu 904 Jaunty, I looked up a bunch of "First things to do when installing Ubuntu". After completing several of the tasks, I restarted and wentto Vista, (I'm dual-booting). When I restarted again to load up Ubuntu, startup goes well except that no task bar or desktop menu shows up. All I have are my icons. How do I retrieve my menu bar and all th [03:39] i edited .mozilla-thunderbird to point to windows profile [03:39] raylu, i'm not sure what to do with update-rc.d. the man pages were not very useful. where can i find a list of services i may want to turn off? [03:39] is ubuntu 9.04 running smoothly on a macbook aluminium? [03:39] that way emails would be same in both [03:39] max__, no idea but that's what happened right before the restart [03:39] hwilde: so same probelm with the liveCD, so I got out of that. [03:39] I have jaunty running, and I encrypted one directory with ecryptfs, now I'd like to copy files from the directory elsewhere, but I get "cp: cannot open `>' for reading: Input/output error" ... I've mounted the directory using "sudo mount -t ecryptfs ./private ./private" and even copying using sudo yields the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

Worked great but killed my ethernet adapter (on board for a Dell Vostro 410). Re-installed ubuntu 9.04, and it still does not work. ifconfig shows an eth0, at interrupt 252, but does not work. [03:53] are there any note apps better than Tomboy? (for instance I want to dump all notes to html as a chron job) [03:53] lol... and what is your current problem? [03:53] raylu:http://paste.ubuntu.com/204627/ [03:54] so I have no internet, even after a clean reinstall [03:54] evon: IT WORK GOD !! YEAH!!!! [03:54] I think the ATI installer messed with my network adapter [03:54] and I need to get it back. [03:54] help? [03:54] evon: recursively list files in /root [03:54] evon: THANKS A LOT DUDE !!!! REALLY! [03:54] can someone tell me how to change the refresh rate of metacity to make moving windows around a bit smoother? [03:54] Checkmatt: what does dmesg say? [03:54] rawr [03:54] mcummings: a lot. :) whata re we lookiign for? [03:54] knoppix: lol. i'm glad i could help. you're actually the first person i've ever helped [03:54] is there an iPhone IRC chat room? [03:55] evon: that's really strange. can you run "df -hx tmpfs" and "sudo du -h /root" again? [03:55] raylu: ok [03:55] Checkmatt: any errors towards the end with your eth device? (another place to look would be /var/log/boot.log - should be able to see when the eth device was detected during boot) [03:55] evon: this really made save a lot, a lot of money ! thank a lot dude really [03:55] :( [03:56] mcummings: thids will take aq bit, but thanks [03:56] Kandy: still no luck? [03:56] Virus...yes [03:56] nope [03:56] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/204628/ [03:56] mr_frostee: where is this chat room ? for iphone [03:56] by the way, how do I come back to the gui after typing ctrl-alt-f2? [03:56] i`m back [03:56] knoppix: well my pleasure. I'm really glad i could help [03:56] I keep restarting my comp [03:56] Kandy: alt-f8 [03:57] (or is it alt-f7?) [03:57] evon: 16G/root/.local/share/Trash [03:57] virus..../join #iphone [03:57] evon: so you've been running nautilus as root, then :P [03:57] evon: anyway, clear out root's trash [03:57] mcummings: there is no /var/log/boot.log [03:57] mcummings: it's alt-f7 [03:57] thanks [03:57] Kandy, ctrl+alt+F7 [03:57] raylu: is there a command for that? [03:58] but still no lick with the menu bars or anything [03:58] evon: i'm not even sure how to use trash, since i don't use nautilus :P [03:58] Checkmatt: sorry, confusing os's :) /var/log/kern.log [03:58] raylu: when i run the gui there's nothing to clear in the trash and it gives me some error when i try [03:58] I'm in kind of desparate need for file recovery help [03:58] Hello [03:58] raylu: is there something better than nautilus i should know about? [03:58] evon: if all else fails, sudo rm -r /root/.local/share/Trash/files/* [03:58] evon: yes. the terminal [03:58] I am setting up two Ubuntu computers [03:58] :D [03:58] Ubunoob, what type of file recovery? [03:59] Anyone else think they can try to help me? [03:59] raylu: LOL. i don't know enough command line to be comfortable with just the terminal [03:59] One with 377 mb ram, and one with 256 mb ram, and I dont know what they are supposed to do. [03:59] oops [03:59] max__, any luck? [03:59] ubuntu, what type of file recovery? [03:59] matrixblue: That was the problem. I can do all that now. [03:59] eth0: link down [03:59] evon: at terminal, sudo nautilus [03:59] Kandy: I just dropped in, what's your issue? [03:59] Kandy: the only other way i usually deal with it (and its lame) is to move/remove your home directory, make a new one, and let it get autopopulated with all the defaults. You'd lose any customizations to your desktop, but all of your installed progs should be fine [03:59] !gksu | pato [03:59] pato: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:59] mcummings: link is not ready [04:00] pato: i did but it's not showing anything in the trash directory [04:00] Kandy: before logging in, what is your session option set to? [04:00] matrixblue: there are two choices for nvidia drivers, should i try the other one? [04:00] raylu: rm: cannot remove `/root/.local/share/Trash/files/*': No such file or directory [04:00] max__, now you just have to find an alternate driver or wait til 9.10 when KDE4 will be fixed or go back to 8.10 [04:00] dft: I just installed Ubuntu for the first time and when I restarted (after installing a bunch of programs) I don't getany panels or anythings. Just a blank wallpaper with Icons. [04:00] max__, could hurt to try it [04:00] If anyone can help me: I was going to install the windows 7 beta, and it erased my / and /home partitions [04:00] mcummings: how the heck do I do that? :p [04:00] couldn't* [04:00] does anyone know how to recover this? [04:00] raylu: automatically log in [04:01] Kandy: i'd suggest turning that off first [04:01] ubuntu, recover what? [04:01] Kandy: ask again in a minute if someone smarter doesn't have a cleaner way of doing it :) [04:01] rayl: how? [04:01] How cool, screen tells me what signal the wireless has, so if someone runs off with my computer I will know... [04:01] the partitions that were lost [04:01] raylu: how? [04:01] Checkmatt: wired or wireless eth? [04:01] If anyone can help me: I was going to install the windows 7 beta, and it erased my / and /home partitions [04:01] wired [04:01] Kandy: heh... no idea. [04:01] ubuntu: you can try photoreec to recover the files or testdisk to restore the partitions [04:01] evon: sudo rm -r /root/.local/share/Trash/files/ [04:02] raylu: haha alright [04:02] Kandy: sounds like gnome-panels won't start [04:02] how do i use testdisk [04:02] dft: isthere a command I can run to start it? [04:02] mr_frostee: any orther ipone irc's that room is dead! [04:02] max__, or disable effects, that might work [04:02] Kandy: do you have a terminal shell open? [04:02] Kandy: show us your /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [04:02] Kandy: yes [04:02] raylu: how do I do that? [04:02] Does anyone know why "tcpdump 'tcp dst host www.google.com'" fails with the message "'tcp' modifier applied to host"? :( [04:02] matrixblue: ok, so i just installed those. Going to restart now. [04:02] !pastebinit | Kandy [04:02] Kandy: pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [04:03] ubuntu: if you are talkin to me write my name then a colon and what you want to say [04:03] dft: I can get open in a realy weird way. alt-f2 someone told me to do. [04:03] Kandy: try this then reboot, rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel [04:03] Virus....I don't know, look around. I didn't know that one existed until you asked about it. [04:03] mcummings: wired, on board ethernet adapter [04:03] raylu: but she can't get a terminal open. might need to talk her through creating a launcher icon for gnome-terminal first ;) [04:03] Kandy: ah, okay do that then login and run "ps -fe | grep panel" [04:03] ctmjr: alt+f2 also does nothing, so i assume it's more than just the panel [04:03] mr_frostee: do u know of a good website that has a list of tons on IRC chat rooms? [04:03] mcummings: holy crap, that's a great idea [04:03] Checkmatt: (mind you, i'm faking this just like you ;) - link lights in back on the router are all happy? [04:03] ctrl alt f2** [04:03] can someone please help me get xorg working? i don't care if i use nvidia drivers or not anymore, i need to access a desktop http://pastebin.com/f4078070e [04:04] mcummings: no [04:04] ubuntu: download and install testdisk if you don't already have it. it wil then give you a series of option that will allow you to find lost partitions [04:04] mcummings: i was hoping for her to pastebin from the tty, though [04:04] no link light on the router or the card [04:04] THAT is really unsettling [04:04] it is all but impossible that the hardware failed JUST as I installed that driver. [04:04] Ok now I'm just getting confused. by the way, I'm a guy haha [04:04] ubuntu: but if windows 7 formated the drive you might just want to use photorec to recover your lost files and start over [04:04] hello, can anyone tell me how to burn a dvd with the contents of a folder in command line mode? [04:05] So what do you guys want me to do exactly? [04:05] Kandy: please ctrl+alt+f2, then login, the run "ps -fe | grep panel" without the quotes [04:05] Kandy: you can use your desktop icons, right? i'd suggest copying a .desktop file from your ~/Desktop and making it launch a terminal. [04:05] Checkmatt: yeah - having experience in breaking my own pc, either A) card isn't in all the way (unlikely since it was working before this driver); B) cable is loose (happens...once...every seventy lunar cycles...) C) Driver isn't a good match for you [04:05] raylu: you the man thanks [04:05] Myst_, is it a data dvd? [04:06] mcummings: from dmesg - etho0: RTL8168c/8111c at 0xffffc20000062000, 00:1d:09:9f:d5:da, XID 3c4000c0 IRQ 2300 [04:06] evon: np. still confused as to why that first one didn't work, but whatever === TheQ_ is now known as TheQ [04:06] Kandy: then let me know if gnome-panel is returned in the result [04:06] tekteen yes it will be a data dvd [04:06] what language should i learn between perl and python? for sys admin stuff [04:06] dft: ok brb [04:06] Myst_, I think you want to look at growisofs [04:06] mcummings: a) adapter is on the mother board, b) cabled are fine and work with other machines, c) driver worked for a year before today (ethernet). [04:07] tarsk: cshell, kornshell, and bash [04:07] raylu: glad to know that i'm not the only one command line confuses ;-) thanks again [04:07] Checkmatt: oh yeah :) [04:07] the ATI installer broke this [04:07] what is a good simple gui based app for recording TV from a tuner card [04:07] matrixblue: Nope, this driver also crashes. [04:07] mcummings: the ATI installer broke this [04:07] tekteen just was looking at it but can't seem to get it to work [04:07] Any idea where /usr/bin/getopt comes from? dpkg -l says nothing [04:07] dft: nope, nothing [04:07] Checkmatt: sorry, forgot you said it was on the board (tired, i say, tired!). going to have agree (sorry) [04:07] mcummings: and it did so under 9.04. It has to be fixable withing 9.04 [04:07] Myst_, I am not sure if I can help, but what did you try? [04:07] max__, disable the effects and try [04:08] matrixblue: How do i do that? [04:08] mcummings, but i want to also learn a programming language for shell scripting not just bash [04:08] mcummings: agree with what? [04:08] tarsk→ try Python. [04:08] Checkmatt: that the ati driver killed it somehow [04:08] max__, no idea, I've never really used KDE [04:08] Kandy: from the desktop run alt+f1 to get a menu [04:08] tarsk, there is no generic shell script. [04:08] tarsk: i'm biased - perl for sheer manipulation [04:08] raylu: just to let you know non of the .xmodmaprc stuff worked. BUT I stuck the commands in a script set it run on startup and voila I am now using the keybindings of my choice. Thanks for the help all the same. [04:08] LONGCAT: glibc? [04:09] EVERYONE: thanks for the help. ubuntu IRC rocks! [04:09] dft: nothing happens when I press alt-f1 on the desktop [04:09] tarsk, everyone is going to give you another scripting language to look at. [04:09] perl would be a horrible first programming language make sure you have a solid foundation first [04:09] MenZa, I don't have much time just spare time after work to learn it, is it easier than learning perl? perl looks like alien to me [04:09] Kandy: hmm [04:09] tarsk, what do you need to learn scripting for? [04:10] matrixblue: Ok, disabeled them. [04:10] matrixblue: [04:10] tekteen growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/backup.iso and other variations... all basically do the same thing but dont actually write anything [04:10] mythman: me-tv or kaffeine me-tv will scan for channels kaffeine in gnome will not for some reason [04:10] max__, try now and hope it doesn't crash [04:10] matrixblue: and it works now [04:10] i'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 [04:10] max__, with the nvidia drivers? [04:10] tekteen, my requirements are ease of use and to be there for a while when i want to do more robust things also not a steep learning curve, im a civil engineer who likes using linux [04:10] matrixblue: Youre awesome. (yes, with nvidia drivers) [04:10] for scripting learn BASH and python are all you need for complex shell scripts imo [04:11] ctmjr: me-tv wont pick my tuner up [04:11] max__, cool take some time and file a bug report [04:11] spyda9, thanks [04:11] matrixblue: Where do i do that at? [04:11] tarsk, I also use bash and python. I use bash for automation, and python for large projects or stuff with alot of data manipulation (engineering would also work for python) [04:12] tekteen, thanks [04:12] darn Kandy left [04:12] Myst_, growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/backup.iso is not the correct format [04:12] wb Kandy [04:12] mcummings: Well I know that. But it didn't kill the hardware. That's nuts. [04:12] dft: sorry I got kicked off [04:12] max__, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug [04:13] mcummings: So that is why I am here. Some sort of manual ubuntu kung fu for dealing with the ethernet interface. [04:13] dft: come up with any new ideas? [04:13] matrixblue: Thanks again, Ill make sure to file a report. [04:13] Myst_, /dev/dvd=/tmp/backup.iso does not make sense. /dev/dvd is supposed to be the dvd burner [04:13] max__, be as detailed as possible and include the section of your log that I pastebined [04:13] dft: what was that other suggestion about me making a list of something? [04:13] mythman: if you know how to scan for channels try xine or see if kaffeine see's your card [04:13] max__, http://paste.ubuntu.com/204622/ [04:13] Kandy: standby, checking something for you [04:13] matrixblue: Thanks., [04:13] dft:kk [04:13] max__, anytime [04:14] ok thanks [04:14] hi, if i have something in the pci slot and its not listed in lspci does that mine the card is messed up or could it still be an ubuntu compatability thing [04:15] mine=mean [04:15] hi, i was on here the other day trying to get my myspace video's to show up... can anyone help me?

[04:17] any idea what i do next? [04:17] lol, weird... i mean oh cool [04:17] google earth is slow, could that be because of my processor? [04:17] hahaha [04:17] dft: yep I'm here [04:17] Myst_, I have never really tried to do it. I only burn all ready made isos [04:17] I think that means the card is messed up...

[04:20] it's a binarycard.. discover's new line [04:20] yeh Ken, I tried #posix a question and those ppl are taking forever [04:20] mythman: depends on where you live (country) and if you use a sat cable or antenna [04:21] dft: when I ran it, it said that gnome panel wasn't installed, so Iinstalled it but I still don't see it [04:21] zaccour: lspci | grep VGA will tell you your card [04:21] yeah, I think the ubuntu channel is probably the most popular channel... maybe behind #linux [04:22] zaccour: no, 9.04 [04:22] well Ken, good luck in your stuff!!! ill be holding down the fort keeping ryan in line.

[04:25] Checkmatt, oh sorry can't help ya. i remember when i used 8.10 i had wireless working but no wired internet, so i tried upgrading to 9.04 alpha and it worked. maybe you should try that in july or august if not fixed by then [04:25] evon: you gota fix the ttf first [04:25] xcerca: typically, thats a windows thing. All drivers are part of the kernel called linus [04:25] *linux [04:26] danbhfive , thanks [04:27] zaccour, back sorry [04:27] andy, whats your question? [04:27] Whenever I start a gtk program, it whines "Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks"" -- the solution according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530773 is to move the ubuntulooks shared libraries. How can I find those libraries to move them? [04:27] mythman: you need dvb-utils, here is a scan for over the air digital channels in the U.S. scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/atsc/us-NTSC-center-frequencies-8VSB > ~/.xine/channels.conf you need to change the us part to aus look in /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples for aus. [04:27] having trouble getting my myspace video's to show up. youtube works and flash sites like newgrounds work... [04:27] andy, do you have adobe flash installed? [04:28] dft: come up with anyhting? [04:28] zaccour, not sure, how do i check? [04:28] zaccour: you want to know about eee? [04:28] go to add/remove, search for flash, and make sure you have the category at the top all available software selected. if the box is checked you do [04:29] does anyone have a recomendation for a adobe premier replacement? I have tried most of them and none meet my needs. [04:29] danbhfive, if the video card is just bad or what [04:29] zaccour: well, I have a 1000HE and the vid card is fine. Its Intel. Try checking out Array.org maybe? [04:30] Kandy: do you know the "root" password? [04:30] dft: I don't think I set one up but if I did, I would know what it is [04:30] k [04:30] danbhfive, array was the first thing i switched to because its faster [04:30] logout of the gnome session [04:30] dft: how? [04:30] ctrl+alt+f2 and login as root [04:31] i'm following the guide for ubuntu and after reboot it's not showing that I am in the xen kernel [04:31] Kandy: good ? [04:31] help [04:31] ctrl+alt+del [04:31] zaccour: cool, are you using the lean/eeepc version? [04:31] no wait [04:31] ctrl+alt+backspace [04:31] how do I login as root? type rootthen the pass? [04:31] danbhfive, no the first selection [04:31] !root | Kandy [04:31] Kandy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:31] Kandy: yes [04:31] danbhfive, should i be using the second selection for eee? [04:32] cabrey: sudo would be great but not in this case, we need Kandy logged completely out of the standard user accnt [04:33] dft, create a new user account.. that would be the correct path to go.. root isn't the answer [04:33] for bash, how to: i='expr $i + 1' [04:33] zaccour: well, might as well try it... I think. Its experimental in that it strips out all drivers but the eee, and compiles them inline. [04:33] dft: boot up in single user mode? ie, the recovery mode? [04:33] danbhfive, should i do both commands to remove and install? i mean to remove what i have and install the eee? [04:33] zaccour: no, you can install multiple kernels [04:34] bastidrazor: danbhfive many different ways to skin this cat [04:34] hiii [04:34] either of those work too [04:34] danbhfive, do you recommend to install the eee one and just leave the one i have also? [04:34] guys im trying to watch a flash video and its not working [04:35] zaccour: yeah, as a rule of thumb. I personally haven't done much playing with it, I don't think I've even tested the eee one. But, its always good to install kernels side by side at first. Just in case the new one doesn't work. [04:36] fosa: `, not ' [04:37] danbhfive, i don't see instructions for eeepc lean [04:37] fosa: alternatively, i blieve you can use "let i=i+1" [04:37] *believe [04:38] zaccour: http://array.org/ubuntu/setup-jaunty.html search for linux-netbook-eeepc [04:38] zaccour: assuming you are running jaunty!! [04:39] raylu, sorry I guess I'm not getting this, so i=expr',1 + 1 [04:39] fosa: i=`expr $i+1` [04:39] fosa: or just [04:39] fosa: let i=i+1 [04:39] danbhfive, it don't say lean. anyhow, whats the difference between linux-netbook and linux-netbook eeepc? [04:40] zaccour: the name was changed for jaunty. And its just as I described, AFAIK === lance_ is now known as Guest5290 === Guest5290 is now known as lance06 [04:40] yo, the nmap packages for ubuntu are broken, is there any known workaround? [04:40] whats afaik? [04:40] the 'expr $i+1' sets echo $i = expr $i+1 [04:40] or do i have to build from source? [04:41] Kandy, dft: i think you should reconsider... if gnome-panel isn't installed, you borked something up [04:41] danbhfive, are linux-netbook and linux-netbook-eeepc different? [04:41] Kandy: aptitude -s install ubuntu-desktop [04:41] raylu: I'm gonna try that now [04:41] hey [04:41] simplechat: "broken?" [04:41] can anyone tell me how to make a torrent file to share ? [04:41] anybody help with a script to show me numbers in a file, then allow em to enter a new number? [04:41] grayhane: what torrent client? [04:41] the file is here: http://pastebin.com/m4917e463 [04:41] Help with Complete lockup issue, please. I've been using ubuntu since 5.04 on this laptop but this time did a full-wipe install of 9.04, and now I'm getting complete lockup, cant ctrl-alt-backspace (or del) or *anything*... what log or other things could I look into for clues? [04:41] transmission ? [04:42] raylu, from a default install when you try and actually scan anything half a dozen plugins fire off errors before the whole thing grinds to a halt [04:42] zaccour: http://array.org/ubuntu/faq.html?id=7 [04:42] raylu, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nmap/+bug/319656 this bug still isn't fixed [04:42] raylu: do I need a special commnd for 64 bit or will that take care of it? [04:42] Kandy: nope. apt decides which architecture to install them for [04:42] raylu: I am using transmission [04:43] grayhane: torrent > new... [04:43] as an example raylu http://pastebin.ca/1476195 [04:43] Kandy: also, you vi /etc/gdm/gdm.conf to remove the autologin [04:43] anyone know how to write a quick script? [04:43] thats what happens for me anyway, after a default install from the repos [04:43] simplechat: no idea, sorry [04:43] raylu: then it asks for announce URL ? [04:44] new2linx: you want to extract the sizes? [04:44] grayhane: what tracker do you intend to use? [04:44] anyone know of any 9.04 bugs whereby netbooks cannot connect to the Internet? and what the solution is to fix it? [04:44] raylu: not sure, been going to pirate bay [04:45] calmbola, you'd have to tell us your wifi card. please post output of lspci -vv [04:45] the custom settings for my nvidia server only kick in once I open the "Nvidia X Server Settings" program in gnome. does anyone know why and how to make it work automatically? [04:46] If the grub loader install failed, if i restart the entire installation process, is it possible that will help? [04:46] grayhane: either register an account there or consider http://www.mininova.org/upload [04:46] Zycon: yes, but why not just install grub? [04:46] when i was running the installer it failed [04:46] from disk [04:46] raylu: thanks I will use the second option, [04:47] i tried lilo as well, that also failed to install [04:47] or is it lifo.. who knows :) [04:47] Zycon: what was the error when it failed to install grub? [04:47] Error executing "grub-install (hd0)" failed. [04:48] Zycon: are you still on the livecd? [04:48] yeah i was using the livecd [04:48] ... [04:48] Zycon: are you still on the livecd? [04:48] ok new2linx doing it now [04:49] raylu: yes, i'm redoing the partitions again [04:49] Zycon: ...why? [04:49] reylu: i started over [04:49] Zycon: if it's already installed, there's no reason to do that [04:49] raylu: mainly because i have no idea what i'm doing :) [04:49] ahh ok [04:49] well i'll get it to where it failed last time [04:49] Zycon: no [04:49] n\\\did new2linx leave? [04:49] Zycon: can you show me the output of "mount"? [04:49] can anyone else help me with my 9.04 not connecting problem? [04:49] somebody give me a hand with a setup of xen.. I can't even get it installed. I did a apt-get ubuntu-xen-server and a reboot. I'ms till not in the xen kernel [04:50] Zycon: you should also close the installer in case you are tempted to click around in it [04:50] raylu: It WORKED!? [04:50] WORKED** [04:50] Kandy: ... [04:50] Kandy: what? [04:50] raylu: it's in the middle of doing partitioning at the moment, so i should probably wait for it to finish [04:50] to reiterate, my q....in case anyone missed it: [04:50] anyone know of any 9.04 bugs whereby netbooks cannot connect to the Internet? and what the solution is to fix it? [04:50] raylu: aptitude -s install ubuntu-desktop [04:50] Zycon: ...oh. [04:50] Kandy: the -s means simulate, so it's not actually doing anything [04:51] raylu: sorry, i jumped the gun and tried to start the whole install process again [04:51] danbhfive: how do i fix the ttf? [04:51] Kandy: so... nothing should have "worked" [04:51] raylu: I added that url but then nothing, not sure what I am doing [04:51] danbhfive: thats my issue [04:51] grayhane: sorry for being unclear, i meant for you to go to that url [04:51] evon: sudo apt-get install -f start there [04:51] raylu: damnit, I got the following error when I started it: "There was a problem with 'OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet'" [04:51] Kandy: it = ? [04:52] raylu: no worries, sorry for being so numb [04:52] the video player on my browser changed to the totem browser after my last reboot and it is fine except when I am streaming a video if I pause it it stops instead and I cant start it back up except to reload the page and start it from the begining, anyone know how to fix it? [04:52] raylu: when I previously restarted my computer, all my panels and menu bars and everything disappeared. All I could see was my icons and my wallpaper. [04:53] Kandy: right... but what did you start and what worked? [04:53] raylu: I restarted the computer and it turns on normally. I see all my menu bars and everything. After I typed in the command you gave me. [04:54] danbhfive: still get an error code 1 [04:54] Kandy: impossible, my command did nothing [04:54] evon: can you pastebin the error? [04:54] raylu: I don't know what it was, after I typed it in, I restrted my computer and all I got wa that error message but I can now see my menu bars and everything [04:55] totem browser plugin I mean [04:55] danbhfive: ok i'm going to have to login on my other computer then [04:55] evon: I see, no gui? [04:56] http://www.my-first-time-naked.net/?id=9378357 [04:56] hihi. i re-installed ubuntu and there is no sound [04:56] !sound | bawtboi [04:56] bawtboi: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [04:56] hmm.. even after i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 [04:57] raylu: so if you didn't fix anything, what did you doexacly? [04:57] Kandy: nothing. i was wondering if you had ubunt-desktop and it's dependencies installed, which is why i asked you to run that command [04:58] danbhfive: I have a gui but the error is on my laptop and it would be easier to pastebin directly from it [04:58] Kandy: it would simulate an install of ubuntu-desktop. on a normal install, this would do nothing. if you uninstalled some things, it would point out what [04:58] danbhfive: ok i'm on my laptop now [04:58] I have Ubuntu Desktop 9.04 and I can find absolutely NO way to install Flash player [04:59] Help, please? [04:59] MBD123: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:59] Sorry, that sounded impatient [04:59] raylu: alright well now I have a new problem. I have a .so file, how do I install it? [04:59] It meant to sound like I was inquiring, and not like I was a total IRCnewb [04:59] MBD123: but, it _should_ auto install when you visit a page that needs flash [05:00] Kandy: you don't. .so files are compiled libraries [05:00] danbhfive: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204649/ here you go [05:00] danbhfive: That supposed feature has never worked. [05:00] danbhfive: thanks for the help in advance [05:00] MBD123, Have you installed the "flashplugin-installer" package? [05:00] i hate firefox [05:00] From Adobe? [05:00] tarsk, +1 [05:00] someone tell me another browser please? [05:00] MBD123, no install adobe-flashplugin [05:00] MBD123: sudo apt-get install fglrx-installer [05:01] MBD123, It should be in the repositories [05:01] tarsk, chrome preview or epiphany [05:01] tarsk, What don't you like about Firefox? [05:01] cabrey, i just got off the chrome site and there wasnt a linux dl [05:01] tarsk: Netscape, Chrome, SeaMonkey... you can even make your own with the right tools [05:01] epiphany all the way! [05:01] you guys like epiphany? [05:01] tarsk, Chrome preview it's different. [05:01] all the porn i watch breaks epiphany [05:02] MBD123, Check out the documentation here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [05:02] does anyone know if anyone has figured out away to get jaunty to support older vid cards better?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:02] tarsk, http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel no flash working atm, however [05:02] evon_: so, I would remove ttf-dejavu-core, and try to reinstall that package. [05:03] cabrey, thanks [05:03] danbhfive: but when it to do that it says that it has to remove gnome as well [05:03] evon_: or wait, maybe try this command: sudo defoma-reconfigure -f [05:04] what browser works the best with ubuntu then? if i didnt want to use firefox [05:04] danbhfive: what does that do? [05:04] does ubuntu officially support other ones [05:04] evon_: see lines 10 through 14 of your paste [05:05] danbhfive: yes i see it [05:05] raylu: I am still lost on this, do I go to the site first, then add the torrent ? [05:05] grayhane: you go to the site first and choose an open tracker to use [05:06] New question for you guys, more opinion based. Which music player do you guys like best? [05:06] danbhfive: same rror [05:06] It is not working whatsoever. Did I get a crap version of 9.04, or something? Because I"m serious, Flash Player is one of the many plugins and drivers I can't download === honey^moon is now known as ce_IseNg [05:07] hello, i anyone using the grub2 bootloader? Has the syntax for passing the vga command changed? [05:08] Kandy: moc, but consider taking this to the offtopic or bots channel [05:08] Voziv: heh, good luck. i'd answer that question but there is _no_ documentation [05:08] danbhfive: this is what happened when i tried to re-install thrrough package manager http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204659/ [05:08] raylu: whats the name of those channels?

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:09] the video player on my browser changed from the mplayer to the totem browser plugin after my last reboot and it is fine except when I am streaming a video if I pause it it stops instead and I cant start it back up except to reload the page and start it from the begining, anyone know how to fix it? [05:09] Voziv: have you checked the /etc/default/grub file yet? You can ad your preferred boot options there for grub2 [05:09] evon_: yeah, of course. Thats because the ttf-dejavu-core package is broken. You will get that error no matter what till that is fixed [05:10] glitsj16: that doesn't exist for me :/ [05:10] danbhfive: how do i fix it? [05:10] and I can't find documentation on how to make it [05:11] evon_: i'd suggest "sudo aptitude clean", "sudo aptitude reinstall ttf-dejavu-core" [05:11] evon_: also, note that removing ubuntu-desktop isn't a big deal, it's just a virtual package. i don't have it on my system because i didn't want cups [05:11] Voziv: dpkg -L grub2 - might help you [05:12] raylu: what is cups and why wouldn't you want it? [05:12] evon_: printing [05:12] raylu: it's still giving me the same error [05:12] raylu: one problem, i'm cheating cause i'm running gentoo, lol. but i've been hopping between distro channels because grub is widespread, and noone in #grub seems to be awake this time of night [05:12] evon_: could i get a link to the error? [05:12] I've installed Ubuntu via Wubi, but would like to know is there a way with VMware, VirtualBox, QEMU or whatever to use it as a VM as well as booting normally? [05:13] Voziv: equery... something, grub2 [05:13] evon_: maybe you could brute force uninstall it: sudo apt-get clean && sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-dejavu-core.postinst && sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends ttf-dejavu-core [05:13] evon_: then try sudo apt-get install -f to reinstall it [05:13] raylu: Here you go http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204661/ [05:13] ChrisMorgan: yes, but wubi hardly counts as "booting normally" [05:14] raylu: close enough :P [05:14] evon_: i forgot to mention, "sudo aptitude update" [05:14] ChrisMorgan: hardly [05:15] raylu: ok so do i do that first? second? third? [05:15] Well, it gets Ubuntu running... [05:15] evon_: well, it doesn't matter now. just run it and see if it mentions any updates [05:15] ChrisMorgan: anyway, do you want ubuntu as your host or guest? [05:15] raylu: it says 5 updates [05:15] raylu: guest. [05:15] Vista Business as host. [05:16] raylu: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204662/ [05:16] How can I add PAE to my kernel? I have "2.6.28-13-generic" but I only see 3.3 GB of RAM [05:16] evon_: then i'd suggest cleaning and reinstalling again, in the hopes that you encountered an error they already fixed in one of those 5 updates [05:16] extor: i believe it's not in the desktop kernel. if i were you, i'd go for a 64-bit installatio [05:16] n [05:16] extor, recompile it or use the server kernel [05:16] raylu: should i do the brute force uninstall that danbhfive suggested [05:16] I'm about to rip my hair out. I don't even know of anything to even TRY anymore [05:17] ChrisMorgan: ok, download vmware and an ubuntu installation cd and... run it :D [05:17] If I go 64 bit--all my 32 bit stuff will kapoot [05:17] evon_: i'd try this first [05:17] extor, like what? [05:17] Including vmware...and 32 bit browsers [05:17] evon_: yes... but there are 64-bit equivalents for every single package [05:17] evon_: er, ignore that [05:17] specifically vmware--I would rather just get PAE and save the hassle [05:17] extor: yes... but there are 64-bit equivalents for every single package [05:17] extor, plus 32 bit apps can run in a 64 bit environment [05:17] raylu: I'm just wanting to use my Wubi installation as a VM, not the live CD. [05:17] raylu: i don't know what you mean by cleaning [05:18] Yeah I know all that but I just want to add PAE support to a 32 bit kernel [05:18] geez [05:18] ChrisMorgan: that's not possible, i'm afraid [05:18] extor, ok your choice. recompile the desktop kernel or get the server kernel [05:18] ChrisMorgan: or at least, i'm pretty sure it's not. i don't know what wubi's disk format is [05:18] So the server kernel is 32 bits and has PAE? [05:18] extor, yes but it is built for servers not for desktops :/ [05:18] The only reason I can think of that it might not work is that telling it to boot from the current partition, the Windows boot thing might panic. [05:19] raylu: same error even after i update [05:19] why would that matter to me? Will it cripple my box? [05:19] ChrisMorgan: that's the only reason? how do you intend for vmware to read your wubi disk? [05:19] I had two three partitions in this order on the disk ; sda1 NTFS(xp install 20gb), sda2, Extended ,ext3 (ubuntu install 50gb), swap (2.2gigs). and i wanted more space for my games on xp so i re-sized and moved my ubuntu partition down to 40 gigs and over on the disk but now i cant cross over this extended "boundary ", now after sda2 it says extended and have 10 gigs of space i cant turn into nts, what can I do? [05:19] evon_: ok, go with danbhfive's suggestion [05:19] raylu: well, it manages it when booting normally. [05:20] ChrisMorgan, you want something similar to parallels or vmware fusion reading a mac boot camp partition? [05:20] The Wubi disk is installed, VMware at least (not sure about other VM products) can boot from another partition. [05:20] ChrisMorgan: ...no, they cannot [05:20] ChrisMorgan: vmware can boot from a virtual disk [05:20] No, not the coLinux approach, just being able to boot from it, or use it as a VM inside Windows. [05:21] You can do that with partitioned Ubuntu, just not sure about Wubied Ubuntu. [05:21] raylu: same error [05:21] danbhfive: same error after reinstalling [05:21] * MBD123 has anger like lava slowly oozing down the side of a volcano [05:23] ChrisMorgan: i'm pretty sure that's not what colinux does... [05:24] Is Ubuntu supposed to have an error for everything you download, or at least is 9.04 supposed to? Because that's what I"m getting right now [05:24] danbhfive: suggestions?

Go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and please tell us which repositories are enabled [05:33] ghindo: yeah it seems that's the priblem [05:33] MBD123: if you need flash, try flashplugin-nonfree [05:33] evon_: you didn't need sudo for that. anyway, go ahead and do it (take out the "-s") [05:33] trinium, amazon mp3 is good [05:33] please a program for download music [05:33] Can someone please tell me how to get syntax colouring in gnome-terminal and vim [05:34] Again, it can't find the package!

[05:36] MBD123: make sure the first 4 are checks under Ubuntu Software [05:36] cabrey: thanks. that worked. How would I have known that I wonder? [05:36] raylu: same error when i try to install firefox [05:36] damagu, tiny-vim is a piece of crap [05:36] evon_: ...what? [05:36] cabrey: vim-tiny [05:36] trinium: You can also LEGALLY download music through rhythmbox (click on Jamendo on the left hand side) [05:37] ARMENIAN: Sorry, I"m an Ubuntunoob.

Cheers [05:37] ARMENIAN: he tried what you typed... flashplugin-installer... instead of that, try flashplugin-nonfree [05:37] MBD123, and you can't follow instructions [05:37] MBD123: yeah same for me only 1 month experience, where are u so far? [05:37] raylu: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204673/ [05:37] ARMENIAN: I"ve been using Ubuntu for about 3 hours now [05:37] evon_: i thought you uninstalled those packages already [05:38] toter: I previously told him to try teh nonfree, he said it didn't work [05:38] raylu: i copied and pasted the lines you told me to [05:38] hi i need help with my pc. i bought a a 1gb memory expansion for my laptop and when i try booting the screen wont turn on [05:38] evon_: did you take out the -s? [05:38] MBD123: where'd u get, did u get into the software sources menu? [05:39] raylu: oops [05:39] i have no idea what could it be. with 8.10 the pc would turn on but froze around 1 hour after booting, no it just ont turn up on 9.04 [05:39] can someone answer this minor question? [05:39] why in ubuntu there isn't a refresh option [05:40] LinuX2half1: what do you mean 'refresh'? [05:40] minor and incomplete question... [05:40] blargh [05:40] I've installed a package through a ppa, but now want to revert to the mainline package. I've removed the ppa from sources.list, how can I force the downgrade? [05:40] in window you right click the background there's a refresh option mandrig [05:40] !swat [05:40] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [05:40] I cannot get my laptop's VGA out to work, can I get a hand, please? [05:40] LinuX2half1: so, in nautilus? [05:41] LinuX2half1, press F5 while the desktop is focused [05:41] ComunisTico: you bought the wrong memory stick or it is bad if you take it out does the computer boot? [05:41] so if I press F5 in the focused background it'll refresh? [05:41] raylu: here's what happened after i took out the -s http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204674/ [05:42] they sold it to me like 1 year ago in best buy... [05:42] LinuX2half1: if you're talking about refreshing the desktop, then yes. [05:42] why it isn't in the option line, thats when you right click and press refresh. [05:42] ctmjr > atm the pc did turn on and work great for 1 hour till it just froze. [05:42] LinuX2half1: Probably because a majority of linux user's tend not to use their mice. [05:43] LinuX2half1, its a hidden 'treat' if you will [05:43] oh, well thanks guys [05:43] good night. [05:43] * mandrig needs to remind himself we were all beginners at one time. [05:44] ctmjr like 2 weeks later i took it out and the c stop freezing. now i tried to put it back to see if it worked with 9.04 and it just wont turn on the screen... [05:44] majority? hardly. [05:44] hmz.... * Received a CTCP VERSION from freenode-connect, whi is freenode-connect / [05:44] ? [05:44] ctmjr my laptop is a hp pavilion zt3000 [05:44] ive got a shaky dialup connection... Every now and then i get kicked off. Pidgin seems to have no button for reconnecting to the freenode server. I have to shut it down and restart it or even disable then enable my irc accounts... Any suggestions how to force pidigin try to reconnect? [05:45] ComunisTico: you put in a memory stick computer does not work, you take out the memory stick computer works what does that tell you? [05:45] hi people, just installed ubuntu on my spare hard drive. Does anyone recommend a good tutorial on how to get a boot option before Windows start-up so I can select which OS to run? At present I am using bios to select the drive to boot [05:45] is it possible to give a user@ip:/path as the output path of vcdxrip? [05:46] i.e ripping a cd to a remote system's harddisk? [05:46] geppy, grub [05:46] geppy, you can configure it to chainload windows [05:46] yeah i know... but i mean.. couldd it be a driver i need to install or something? cause the pc did boot before === wsr3193 is now known as evil_extremist [05:46] geppy: do a google search for installing grub from live cd. grub will automatically detect all OS's on your system and make an entry for them [05:47] Yes I have tried that, but it seems to not like the hdb entry which ubuntu is installed on (hda is win32) [05:48] hey [05:48] Can I do something with the windows boot.ini to be able to select which os is loaded? [05:48] yeah [05:49] im on ds so i m8ght type slow [05:49] im on ds so i might type slow [05:49] via dslinux ssh [05:49] geppy, yeah... but its kinda wierd. look up ¨Grub4dos Linux¨ [05:50] ComunisTico: how much memory do you have installed now? [05:50] Can i rip the cd to a remote computer using vcdxrip? [05:50] evon_: sudo dpkg -r ttf-dejavu-extra [05:50] ahhh nice, I think i've found a solution. Bootpart.exe [05:50] or using anything? like the problem is i don't have space in the system with the cd drive so it has to rip the cd and put it on the other computer which is networked.. [05:50] thanks for your time people [05:50] have anice weekend [05:51] geppy: you might be able to hit either F8 or F10 on startup on boot [05:51] k_passaris: that's freenode checking for bot abuse [05:51] is there a "universal" way over which the bash can handle user@ip:/path kind of arguments for filename path? [05:51] ctmjr i got 512mb only.. and its getting very slow... thats why i tried to see if the 1gb memory card worked now.. cause its betting annoying... [05:51] or i should simply mount the file system with nfs or something right?:) [05:52] shyam: yes. or sshfs [05:52] ComunisTico: so without the 1gig stick will jaunty boot? [05:53] Pidgin seems to have no button for reconnecting to the freenode server. I have to shut it down and restart it or even disable then enable my irc accounts... Any suggestions how to force pidigin try to reconnect? [05:53] ctmjr yeah it does. thats why im online now. [05:53] pedestrianentran: why do you need to reconnect? pidgin isn't exactly the greatest irc client [05:53] yes tried that mandrig, but it's the two separate hard disks that are causing the problems I think. I see bootpart can solve this for me [05:54] hi why is nautilus not showing my samba shares? [05:54] Does anyone know a link to a tutorial for underclocking my CPU as a way to conserve power and increase battery life? [05:54] ditty_kong: heh... there's no need to underclock [05:55] Why not? [05:55] ditty_kong: on your panel, right-click, add to panel, cpu frequency scaling monitor [05:55] raylu: what do you suggest instead? What im saying is that my computer is still connected to the net but pidgin is not connected to the irc server [05:55] ditty_kong: lowering your cpu frequency is enough to save power [05:55] not sure how it works, but I need to do this apparently "gksudo dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=ubuntu.bin bs=512 count=1" and place this file in my windows sys and modify the boot.ini file. No to worry, I'll get it sorted [05:55] raylu: oh thanks i was looking for such a small program [05:55] pedestrianentran: xchat, konversation, irssi... [05:55] !irc [05:55] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [05:55] ComunisTico: your memory card is either the wrong type or it is bad there is no driver to fix it [05:56] see ya.. bye.. [05:56] hi, i was on here the other day trying to get my myspace video's to show up... can anyone help me? sorry i had to jet earlier so i didnt get to finish talking with the guy helping me [05:56] raylu: Thanks! I didnt know this even existed [05:56] hm, that's not what i was after [05:56] ditty_kong: np [05:56] ctmjr.. yeah thanks anyway... === wet-chan is now known as wet [05:57] If anyone ever needs to do the same, this has been very helpful - http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/113945 [05:57] laterz all [05:58] raylu: i just assumed the ubuntu people would have installed the best irc client by default [05:58] !best | pedestrianentran [05:58] pedestrianentran: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:58] so anyone got any advice or ideas as to why some but not all flash works on this pc? [05:58] raylu: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204676/ [05:59] raylu:ok thanks [05:59] How do I check for dependency for for a deb package before I do dpkg -i> [05:59] well raylu I got everythign installed... made sure NOT to use the ubuntu ati drivers that were listed in the software install program under applications :P [05:59] Hello, does anyone know why firefox might be rendering "blocks" containing the acii value rather than the letter instead? Certain websites seem to be having these everywhere... [05:59] evon_: add -D to the end of that command [06:00] raylu: since they hate me :)) [06:00] Aacron: they hate everyone :P [06:00] raylu: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204682/ [06:01] yoga``: -I [06:01] :/ i guess that is a negative on anyone being able to help with my problem? [06:02] Andy: how did u install flash ? [06:02] raylu: Thanks. [06:03] ditty_kong: well, i had someone help me with commands the other day. he had me uninstall all flash related items, and reinstall adobe, etc [06:04] hey raylu if Iḿ usign ubuntu with compiz-setup... this is still gnome right? or is it whatever émerald'is? [06:04] ditty_kong: we did this several times, he also had me manually delete them, and go through the "add/remove" feature, search flash, and install everything, but still nothing :( [06:04] the way I install flash is by going to youtube...when it doesnt work it sends me to the download page. [06:04] I download the .deb or tarball [06:05] Anyone know why this is happening in Firefox? http://img35.imageshack.us/i/firefoxchars.png/ [06:05] extract it to the desktop or where ever you like [06:05] ditty_kong: the thing is, youtube works, myspace video and music does not. it shows up with a grey box with an arrow inside it. i click it and it doesnt load. [06:05] it should be a .sh or something like that [06:05] OO [06:05] ditty_kong: yeah... it stumped him as well. [06:05] raylu: tryign to download a theme and not sure if its emerald or gnome :P [06:05] I would still try it my way.... [06:05] evon_: ls /var/lib/apt/lists [06:05] ditty_kong: he gave up after roughly 2 hours... [06:06] when you get that ".sh" extracted you will need to go into nautilus [06:06] anyone familiar with Sibelius music notation software? [06:06] Aacron: emerald is a window decorator. your window manager is still compiz (instead of metacity) and your desktop environment is still gnome [06:06] ditty_kong: well when i go to youtube, it loads the video's on the page so it doesn't prompt me with an option of downloading it. [06:06] Hey, I run Jaunty on a Dell xps m1330, my computer is very noisy after the lastest bunch of updates. Any ideas? [06:06] kk thanks :P [06:06] ditty_kong: my problem is playing video's on myspace, music on myspace, etc. [06:07] when you go into nautilus go to your home folder and under view select show hidden files [06:07] you are looking for mozilla or a .firefox [06:07] ditty_kong: flash on www.newgrounds.com, and other flash sites [06:07] ditty_kong: oh, by the way, "powertop" might interest you [06:07] ditty_kong: alright ill do that now, stand by. [06:07] inside that folder there is a plugin folder, just stick that extracted plugin into it and restart firefox [06:09] ditty_kong: mozilla has two files, extensions, and firefox... [06:09] quick q: why does the 64bit desktop version file name say amd64? i have an intel i'd like to run 64bit on [06:09] let me look on mi9ne real wuick i think it is under firefox [06:09] *quick [06:10] ditty_kong: ok. [06:11] nsgn: it will still work on intel amd just developed it first so they put there brand on it [06:11] ditty_kong: is there some sort of remote desktop that you are able to use to see what im talking about? one that allows you to view my desktop? [06:11] ctmjr: ok. it should be my choice, as my machine has 8gb ram to be addressed, correct? [06:11] <_akahige_> I'm having a problem printing with cups-pdf -- all the fonts come out jaggy and mangled. if I do "print to file" everything is fine. anybody have any thoughts about how to fix that? [06:11] ditty_kong: i know windows has one... im new to both irc, and ubuntu [06:12] yes there is but I would rather not do that. gimmkie a sec I will brb [06:13] nsgn: if you want to use the memory chose 64bit 32 bit only supports 4gb [06:13] ctmjr: thanks [06:14] nsgn: your welcome [06:14] ctmjr: will i encounter any less hardware support under 64, or is linux more universal when compiling those sorts of things? nvidia drivers are of particular concern === ripps_ is now known as ripps [06:14] is it possible to get transparent windows even when I cant get "Visual Effects" enabled because I'm running ubuntu inside via vmware? [06:15] anybody using frostwire? [06:15] nsgn, most problems are software-related. Nvidia is good as far as 64-bit [06:15] usicow, not really. You can technically fake it [06:15] porter1: great. a lot of my work will be under vmware, but i want ubuntu as my base OS, and of course want it's hardware support [06:15] But not with compiz or anything like that [06:16] nsgn: the only thing i have seen is a problem with flash on jaunty, but i am sticking with intrepid it is more stable at the moment (for me anyway) [06:16] porter1: what do you recommend? Just forget about it.. or is it okay to 'fake it'? [06:17] usicow, I would say it isn't worth it to be honest [06:17] It won't look good [06:17] porter1: ok. thanks. [06:17] ctmjr: hmm, i'm wanting to go 9.04. should i be considering something other than this? [06:18] nsgn, what sort of environment are you planning to use Ubuntu in? [06:18] raylu: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204691/ [06:18] porter1: dell vostro 1320 notebook [06:18] personal/business, though a lot of work done under VMs [06:18] porter1: machine has 8gb ram, so 64 is where i'll have to be [06:19] evon_: why is there a lock in there? do you have some package manager running? [06:19] nsgn: it's up to you, the people in here will help with just about any prob you face just make sure you let them know it is 64bit if you do have problems [06:19] ditty_kong: hey hey [06:20] ctmjr: yeah, of course. just curious if i should be choosing anything other than 9.04 [06:20] nsgn, run a couple different distros in a VM first. [06:20] ok im back [06:21] porter1: i'm needing to get this thing set up tomorrow, so i don't have much time to get into that sort of thing. i was going to go with 9.04 by default unless someone in here has a reason for me to consider otherwise [06:21] Although Ubuntu is great, I would still look at the many other options out there and choose wisely for what you plan on doing on your laptop [06:21] oh, you mean other distros overall, not just ubuntu [06:21] ditty_kong: okie dokie [06:21] Yeah. [06:21] in that case i do currently work with debian, centos and ubuntu in VMs for various purposes [06:21] i've just not done a side by side of 8 and 9 [06:22] Ok cool [06:22] try getting the flash plugin here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ [06:22] i like debian and centos for utility purposes/servers [06:22] but ubuntu is the nicest for sitting down and using === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:22] Not much difference to be honest. I was a little peeved at Jaunty when it was first released this year, but it seems to have improved [06:22] ok [06:23] basically i intend to do my personal stuff under ubuntu, and my work under various VMs i'm migrating inbound [06:23] so my actual time spent in ubuntu will be browsing, email, communicating, etc [06:23] all the wild stuff will go under vmware [06:23] Then it's a good fit. Incredigbly easy to manage [06:23] ditty_kong: it says i already have it [06:24] reason for my switch is that i'm fed up with simple web browsing dragging when doing it in macosx [06:24] same for windows [06:24] on a modern system [06:24] i imagine ubuntu will be much lighter and snappier for that sort of use [06:24] !helping people [06:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about helping people [06:24] Heh. I'm the same way. I'm actually trying to get a whole office switched over to linux (minus the creative mac users) [06:24] what ubuntu r u running? [06:24] porter1: hah, have fun! good luch though [06:24] Pain in the rear [06:24] *luck [06:24] jaunty [06:24] !being a bot [06:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about being a bot [06:25] Exchange support is total nonsense [06:25] hah, yeah [06:25] that goes in windows ;P [06:25] osx still hasnt nailed it [06:25] though 10.6 will be addressing it significantly [06:25] Yep. At one point I suggested we simply get rid of the windows servers altogether... That didn't go over too welll [06:25] hah [06:25] mm [06:25] watch out for your job there [06:26] :) [06:26] ok so we're getting better here [06:26] Internship actually :P [06:26] so one suggestion for a bot factoid [06:26] ditty_kong: jaunty [06:26] hi all I found there are some problem when I updated the 8.10 to 9.04,how can I report the bug,I have registed the www.launchpad.net,but I don't konw what to next [06:26] for major trouble with surround, when only one or two channels are working, and nothing you can do actually enables them correctly [06:27] there's a file to edit the default pulse channels - [06:27] fixed it PERFECTLY [06:27] 64 bit or 32 bit?

[06:38] evon_, for instance i'll pastebin mine [06:38] nekostar: you are correect. I just need to mount them so i can use phtorec [06:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/204709/ [06:39] evon_, no problem, the key is in the descriptions. [06:39] are they windows or linux partitions you want to mount [06:39] nekostar: I want to use photorec to recover some files but it won't let me choose any drives to save to because they are not mounted I believe. but i don't know the syntax to mount them [06:39] im wondering how ubuntu will handle 1 AGP and 3 PCI graphics cards [06:39] nekostar: I want to mount all of the drives [06:39] ok [06:40] i'm going to paste you my fstab [06:40] and ive ntfs and ext3 and everything mounted and useable to the first normal user [uidgid1000] [06:40] Kasm279, if they are ati not well [06:40] nekostar: isn't there a command I can type to mount them. remember i'm using a live rescue cd right nwo [06:40] Thanks mandrig, I just read it! [06:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/204711/ [06:41] evon_, ah ok [06:41] nekostar: ;-) [06:41] so for instance ntfs is mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /some/mountpoint [06:41] pieces: 1 ATi, 1NVidia and 2 S3 [06:41] -t is specifiy filesystem type - its in man mount [06:42] nekostar: http://imagebin.org/53841 this is the boxes for when you have a chance to look. take your time, the gf is asleep:) [06:42] Kasm279: your kidding right? [06:42] no [06:42] andy, getting right back on yours, sorry :P [06:42] how correct mount usb-flash ? [06:42] oohh [06:42] hey man [06:42] you have that flashblock extension in? [06:42] nekostar: how can i create a mount point when using a live CD? [06:42] nekostar: haha never a prob. take your time. im just watching adult swim in the mean time. [06:42] Kasm279, yeah I'm gunna go with they probably won't register. But if they do, congrats. I've only seen duals or more with nvidea [06:42] evon any folder can be a mountpoint [06:43] so for instance mkdir -p /media/sda1 [06:43] Hey mandrig, I tried what you suggested and got this: * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions [06:43] I think it is not disabled yet :/ any hints? [06:43] i make my mountpoints descriptive so i can tell wtf they are when doing df -h or so [06:43] what was the newest update for ubuntu? [06:44] pieces: do you mean like version of it? [06:44] andy, no like what was on the update that came out today [06:44] pieces: oh haha yeah dont ask me, i didnt even know one came out XD [06:44] I believe a new kernel was released [06:44] ii adobe-flashplugin 10.0.22.87-1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 -- andy [06:45] dpkg -l |grep flash [06:45] pieces: try sudo apt-get update [06:45] Not sure though. [06:45] evon_, getting everything mounted there? [06:45] nekostar: so put that cmd in term? [06:45] Any idea why the new update would make it so I can open the newest kernal, but I can load the pervious one? [06:45] how mount usb-flash ? [06:45] pieces, maybe it touched grub? [06:46] andy dpkg is one of the package tools, -l lists, grep only returns results based on a pattern which i told it flash [06:46] you can switch it back to not ask you [06:46] thus i'm saying do the same thing and tell me the version of anything that comes up with ii and flash [06:46] for watching streaming video in firefox where can I set which player it uses? === randabis1 is now known as randabis [06:46] ii means installed, btw sorry [06:46] okay, ill give it a shot. thanks [06:46] Cosmol, it depends on the plugin installed. Usually TOtem is the default [06:46] Cosmo1, there are plugins, are you in gnome? [06:46] ah porter1 to the rescue [06:47] ;) [06:47] :P [06:47] Not sure about 'rescue' necessarily [06:47] andy, so yeah - what version of that package do you have if any? [06:47] I am in gnome and have totem, vlc and mplayer installed nekostar [06:47] and if you can pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list it may be helpful [06:48] Cosmo1, just pick the one you want and you can swap out the mozilla totem plugin for say mplayer or vlc plugin [06:48] system > administration > synaptic [06:49] nekostar: is it ok if i just paste it in here? it will have enter spacing it though [06:49] nekostar: yup figured it out. photorec is running right now. thanks a lot [06:49] btw blackballed is a horrble not even b flic that i wouldnt recommend wasting your life on [06:49] andi_, i'm fine with that [06:49] but where do I tell it which one to use neko [06:49] evon_, sweet, good luck!

[06:50] ok [06:50] nekostar: did you get to see what i sent? [06:50] uninstall all of those andy [06:50] except the kwordquiz [06:50] nekostar: lol keep in mind im noob. do i do it through add/remove? [06:50] moxfalder, sudo fdisk -l [06:50] moxfalder, find the one thats [probably] fat32 and make a folder and mount it [06:51] andy, no go to system > administration > synaptic if your in gnome [06:51] or just copy paste this: [06:51] raylu: any suggestions on how to get rid of this lock? [06:51] wait [06:51] dude [06:51] you DO have it - uninstall flashblock bro [06:51] thats your problem [06:52] nekostar: ahh ok. one sec. [06:52] sudo apt-get --purge remove flashblock [06:52] that removes config files and all [06:52] or disable for that page [06:52] i could use some help troubleshooting a monitor/xorg.conf/screen res issue if someone wants to offer it [06:52] you click on those start arrows to get the flash element to play [06:52] evening all, try to new ver of python tgz i extracted and ./configure what is the next command? [06:52] nekostar: but where do I tell it which one to use [06:52] krammer_, probably make [06:52] trel, can you start by pastebinning your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [06:53] then sudo make install if you are installing [06:53] nekostar: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? huh? [06:53] porter1, then make build? [06:53] Cosmo1, thats why i was asking which one [06:53] or 'make && sudo make install' [06:53] I have a wireless home network with laptops that are configured with dhcp on my home router, and I want to computers by name instead of by IP (which changes). Is ddns the best way to do this? [06:53] want to refer to them by name [06:53] nekostar: I have totem, vlc and mplayer all installed [06:54] anyone tried the eee version of xandros? anyone know where/how to get it for the auss eee 900? [06:54] nekostar, you want the nvidia build or the dkpg-recon build? [06:54] Hi there everybody! Anybody willing to give some help with data recovery? [06:54] halberd, in relation to other computers on the network? [06:54] hi [06:54] why does openvz hang in jaunty? [06:54] Cosmo1, i understand that. by default it uses totem-mozilla; I use mozilla-plugin-vlc [06:54] halberd, or in relation to other comnps on the internet? [06:54] porter yes, I want other computers on the same network to refer to them by name [06:54] not computers on the internet but not on my network [06:54] trel, any and all infoz is great, i would recommend pastbinning it [06:55] halberd, you could setup a DNS server [06:55] I'm trying to use ddrescue but I'm a noob and having some difficulty [06:55] moxfalder, your good now? [06:55] Cosmo1, do you get it now? [06:55] yes I know but that would mean I'd need an always-up computer, which I could do but don't currently do [06:55] that's the ddns approach... is there another way? [06:55] in synaptic just push ctrl+f for search box, and search for mozilla and plug [06:55] nekostar: it is using the totem one right now but I dont like it so how do I tell it to use the vlc one ? [06:55] How can activate the select-copy as it used to work on former release? [06:55] nekostar: not really, which options need for usb ? [06:55] halberd, what are the different computers doing between eachother? [06:56] porter1: various things, such as ssh and unison [06:56] ok will do [06:56] Cosmo1, then go to the package name and right click and select uninstall. then once its uninstalled, you can go select the one you DO want in. which do you want? mplayer? vlc? [06:56] You could just setup static ips for each and then config the hosts file for each to point to whatever name you like [06:56] evon_: no, but [06:56] moxfalder, did you do what i said first? [06:56] nekostar: mount /dev/sdc /media/usb don't work [06:56] nekostar: one sec. not sure if that fixed it or not. [06:56] Cosmo1, ok so uninstall that totem-mozilla package and install the mozilla-plugin-vlc and youve got exactly that [06:57] evon_: could you tell me if there's anything in /var/lib/apt/lists/partial? [06:57] nekostar: negative. didnt work.:( [06:57] nekostar: mount want some options like filesystem type [06:57] nekostar: ah ok [06:57] moxfalder, can you please pastebin the results of that sudo fdisk -l ? [06:57] halberd, but maybe that might be too complicated with a lot of computers [06:57] porter1: but I think messing around with the IPs assigned to my computers might require me to ditch my router for an always-up Linux computer to be the server [06:57] andy, ctrl+f5 on the page [06:57] no porter1 that would be acceptable except for the problem I mentioned [06:57] nekostar: i did refresh:/ [06:57] moxfalder, right thats why i asked for the fdisk output - it will tell us the type to input. [06:57] raylu: nothin [06:57] andy, it may refresh its cache at times [06:58] i would delete the cookies for the site and all cache and then reloaed [06:58] nekostar, http://paste.ubuntu.com/204724/ [06:58] but a ctrl+f5 forces a hardreload and usually works [06:58] porter1: basically what I'm wondering is, is there any alternative to ddns or static ips? [06:58] halberd, not it doesn't. Assign on the router static IPS, have each computer setup with the right hostname, and you're fine [06:58] trel, ok let me take a peek [06:58] nekostar: ok, stand by. [06:58] ok trel sudo nvidia-xconfig [06:59] halberd, actually, if you already have hostnames setup (which you would if you installed Ubuntu the regualr way) then it should already work [06:59] I believe... [06:59] how to prevent laptop screen brightness being reduced after a while when I am watching movies? [06:59] porter1, after make install then what is the next command please [06:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/204725/ trel thats my xorg.conf [06:59] porter1: what do you mean? [06:59] krammer_, should be installed then [06:59] btw install dontzap to get back the ctrl+alt+bksp [06:59] nekostar: negative:( [06:59] nekostar, http://paste.ubuntu.com/204726/ [07:00] andy, new screenie please [07:00] halberd, hrm. It depends on the router you have to be honest. [07:00] nekostar: how? [07:00] trel, glxinfo|grep render [07:00] trel, does it say direct rendering enabled? [07:00] porter1, thanks for your time #!/user/bin/env python cya [07:00] andy how which? [07:01] oh oh - push printscreen button [07:01] nekostar: now ok [07:01] nekostar: oh lol one sec and ill do it again. [07:01] moxfalder, ok so on the right hand side you should see filesystem types, fat32, ntfs, etc - which are you trying to mount? [07:01] nekostar, direct rendering is a "yes" [07:01] halberd, have you tried just ssh'ing using the remote computer's nasme? [07:01] trel, ok. [07:02] porter1: well I tried ssh'ing using the name that I get on the remote computer when I type "hostname" [07:02] nekostar: thnx, i'm succ...mount [07:02] nekostar, is the metamode option in xorg going to add dropdowns? [07:02] trel, so exactly what is the ussue? [07:02] halberd, with openssh installed? [07:02] and I tried ssh'ing using that name, plus ".Belkin" because my router says that is its local domain name [07:02] trel, for multi monitors? [07:02] porter1: ssh is installed, it works if I enter an IP [07:02] hm [07:02] gksu nvidia-settings to do nvidia changes typically [07:03] nekostar, no i'm running a 1680x1050 at 800x600 because i can't add custom res [07:03] How can activate the "select-copy" as it used to work on former releases seriously? It was handy and it doesn't work anymore since 7.10 I woud say. [07:03] trel, ok let me paste a shot of something [07:03] cleared my histroy, whats the website again? [07:04] Anybody familiar with using ddrescue? [07:04] history* [07:04] nekostar, all the trolling i've done has given me ineffectual commands [07:04] porter1: I don't think my router lets me set static IP's for my home network, it only does dhcp as far as I can see [07:04] nekostar: whats the website url again for the image hosting? [07:04] http://imagebin.org/53842 trel you should see that with nvidia-settings [07:05] Smokeping was working fine for a few days until I added new targets to it and it started giving me permission errors..for /var/lib/smokeping..anyone face this problem? === lance_ is now known as Guest60716 [07:05] andy http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [07:05] nekostar, i'll try that out - thanks [07:05] Hi there everybody! I'm trying to recover a failed HD with ddrescue and I'm having some trouble with the syntax. Can anyone off some help? [07:05] trel - actually i'm interested in one more thing. [07:05] sorry, offer [07:06] nekostar, what's that? [07:06] halberd: Most routers can assign a specific dhcp IP to a MAC address of a computer's network adapter, making it effectively into a static IP [07:06] evon_: i'd suggest removing everything in that directory, then [07:06] trel http://paste.ubuntu.com/204728/ try xrandr [07:06] nekostar: http://imagebin.org/53843 [07:06] maybe it doesnt SEE the hardware right - driver or kernel version mismatch is often [07:06] nekostar, that was actually my next step === ThomasG33K is now known as ThomasG33K_Away [07:07] nekostar, this guy's going vertical [07:07] trel, are you using repo or custom drivers? ok trel [07:07] raylu: but there's nothin in the directory [07:07] andy, the flashblock plugin is still in firefox somewhere [07:07] I have Jaunty and I accidentally installed "Hardy(sp)"'s version of Gnome Menu Applet, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I believe I did an install -f, and it's not showing up in the synaptic package manager. Where do I find it and how do I get rid of it? [07:07] nekostar, i'm bouncing between repo and prop drivers - no joy [07:07] check your addons: tools > addons [07:07] hey support nobody on selecting copying :'( ? [07:07] trel, atm i mean [07:07] nekostar: hmm. i uninstalled all of it. do i need to close down the explorer completly and run the cmd again?

[07:19] trel, ok exactly what vid card and what driver is installed and what kernel version [uname -a ] [07:19] its not seeing the monitor correctly for sure. [07:19] nekostar: sorry, one more sec, talking to my gf on the phone. [07:20] and if xorg.conf is blank, I dunno where the heck it is getting the options :| which means I can't specify my monitor refresh rate or anything. [07:20] Hi pipal. I would like to ask for a solution on using Ubuntu from a USB stick. It is viable? It runs harder than a livecd? [07:20] andy ok [07:21] anyone else know anythign about this? [07:21] Aacron: Wouldn't X11 NOT load if it couldn't find the .conf? [07:21] andy did you also uninstall the flashblock package that was installed in your system? [07:21] aXeus: apparently it does cause mine is empty as heck right now. [07:21] legend2440, does that help [07:21] try changing the name of the .mozilla folder in your home folder and going back there. [07:22] aXeus: so it has to be getting config from *somewhere*!! [07:22] Aacron: Perhaps you're looking in the wrong spot? [07:22] aXeus: nope... [07:22] Aacron: Perhaps it's the ghost in the machine. [07:22] Kaneda: is catalyst control center installed [07:22] ok, found it [07:22] nekostar: GeForce 7600 GT, 180.44, 2.6.28-13-generic [07:22] thanks nekostar. [07:22] aXeus: doh nevermind... I'm an idiot :)) [07:23] nope jaunty default [07:23] Aacron: Looking in the wrong spot? [07:23] no restricted drivers [07:23] aXeus: yep! *shame* [07:23] lol [07:23] Kaneda: which radeon card? [07:23] r480 [07:23] aXeus: i'm just curious about one thing though... I have the 1650 pro, which i read is R530 [07:24] but glxinfo says I'm running the r300 driver or osmething [07:24] aXeus: doesnt' that mean that some of my card's acceleration and stuff isnt' goign to work as fast as it should? [07:24] Aacron: The X1600* is an R530 isn't it? [07:24] Kaneda: not familiar with that card. do you mean 4800 series? [07:24] IRC.PLASA.COM [07:24] It's R530 based. [07:24] aXeus: yeah [07:25] nekostar: if it helps at all, my former gutsy install loaded the correct resolution automatically [07:25] 850xt [07:25] I'm really not familiar with the proper drivers for them to be honest, I run nVidia. [07:25] aXeus: going to paste what glxinfo said [07:26] Aacron: PM it [07:26] Hai...blh knlan gX Nie??? [07:26] Kaneda: is that one of the cards amd stopped supporting recently? [07:26] trel and you tried the nvidia-glx-180 from repos? [07:26] not sure [07:26] knowing my luck prolly [07:27] lspci |grep -i nvidia <- output of that should be one line, i'd like it plz [07:27] nekostar: that is the one currently installed [07:27] nekostar: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1) [07:28] Kaneda: you can check here for some amd drivers for your card. i never had any luck with the open source radeon drivers and tv out http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx [07:28] nekostar, gpu is connected via DVI/VGA adapter to VGA cable to Acer AL2016W [07:28] i just filled up a drive for my media centre and i need to copy lots of files from my windows desktop to it. is there anyway to mount a ext3 formatted drive in rw mode on windows? [07:30] hello everyone [07:30] Kaneda: did you check in System>Administration> Hardware Drivers for listing of proprietary drivers? [07:30] trel, nvidia-173-modaliases nvidia-180-libvdpau nvidia-180-modaliases nvidia-71-modaliases nvidia-96-modaliases nvidia-common linux-restricted-modules linux-restricted-modules-common linux-restricted-modules-common [07:30] make sure all of those are installed [07:31] yep there are none [07:31] how do I check what audio drivers my installation is running, via commandline preffered. [07:31] and the card has been put on the legacy list under amd [07:31] Cosmo1, yeah its buffering now [07:31] hey i just installed ubuntu on my laptop. what are some good programs i should use??? [07:31] how can i edit a ftp connection in Places? [07:31] hey I have an issue with my datacard ... there is a NetworkManager seg fault issue ... [07:31] nekostar: linux-restricted-modules was missing [07:31] can someone help me with that [07:32] trel, that could do it [07:32] nekostar, i love you [07:32] make sure multiverse and universe are enabled [07:32] trel, lol happy linuxing [07:32] thought they were... [07:32] Cosmo1, its still buffering.... 9% i think it may dl it and then play - but it may be a setting lol [07:32] trel, if you see it they most likely are - let me give you my apt sources list [07:32] Aacron: previous versions of X required you to actually configure xorg.conf [07:32] Is it possible to play FLV files in VLC? This works fine under WinXP, but VLC on Kubuntu wont play it. [07:33] sandhya, wats the question? [07:33] Aacron: the new X doesn't need an xorg.conf, it guesses [07:33] CoJaBo-Aztec, yes works fine here too [07:33] nekostar: you still there? [07:33] Kaneda: i have an old radeon 9600 with tv out. it worked fine with intrepid because i could use the fglrx drivers. then jaunty upgraded ftom xserver 1.5 to 1.6 and tv out stopped working so i had to get an nvidia card [07:33] aXeus: see my message sto Aacron [07:33] GreyGhost, I have a datacard .. [07:33] * GreyGhost shrugs .. no idea on data cards .. [07:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/204742/ its that plus medibuntu [07:33] andy y0 [07:34] I'll use the pastebin for details [07:34] GreyGhost: Any idea what needs to be installed? It plays some FLV files, but not all of them. [07:34] nekostar: sorry talkin to the girlie friend [07:34] and that ppa launchpad one in my sources is a better pidgin - but you need to go to the site and get the key for that one [07:34] I have Jaunty and I accidentally installed "Hardy(sp)"'s version of Gnome Menu Applet, and I can't seem to get rid of it. I believe I did an install -f, and it's not showing up in the synaptic package manager. Where do I find it and how do I get rid of it? [07:34] andy, nbd we linuxing here [07:34] CoJaBo-Aztec, i have a plain vlc install .. and all of my flvs work..bt if u mean some dont work .. then i think u should ask at #videolan [07:34] nekostar: ? [07:35] how do I check what audio drivers my installation is running, via commandline preffered. [07:35] GreyGhost, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204744/ [07:35] that from messages ... [07:35] nekostar: not sure what you mean lol [07:35] aXeus, make sure the gnome-main-menu fast-user-switch-applet are both installed [07:35] nekostar, i'll check that stuff out as soon as x reloads [07:35] wish me luck [07:35] trel, coo [07:35] I'll paste dmesg for u [07:35] gl! [07:35] andy nbd == no big deal lol [07:36] nekostar: oh haha. alright so where did we leave off? [07:36] GreyGhost: Ugh, thouth this tab was #videolan lol. I guess its an odd FLV codec or something, strange that it plays on the windows version tho.. [07:36] nekostar: you said somethin about it not being uninstalled all the way i think. [07:36] GreyGhost, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/204746/ [07:37] that's that device I am trying to connect [07:37] andy, yeah youve got flashblock if your seeing that [07:37] sandhya, sorry no idea here [07:37] ahhh ok [07:37] so: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashblock [07:38] its highspeed USB datadevice that I use for internet connection [07:38] nekostar: alright, in windows i can target a specific type of file etc, to search and delete.... how do i go about deleting anything realted to it? [07:38] andy purge removes configs and all [07:38] just type that into the terminal and itl remove the flashblock package if its still there [07:38] GreyGhost, where can I look up for some help ... I am new to ubuntu [07:39] sandhya, best guess the ubuntu forums and google [07:39] !forums | sandhya [07:39] sandhya: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [07:40] tnx GreyGhost [07:40] alright so type purge flashblock and i'm all set? [07:40] whats a video editor like windows movie maker? [07:40] nekostar, things have not changed [07:40] sandhya, but ask here from time to time in case someone else knows .. [07:40] !ati > me [07:40] legend2440, please see my private message [07:40] nekostar: alright so type purge flashblock and im all good? [07:41] stealth-: Ive heard KDenLive is supposed to be good, tho its still early versions. [07:41] andy yeah type that bit, lets see what happens [07:41] CoJaBo-Aztec: anything else? im looking for a gnome app [07:41] brb i,m staeting to love linux [07:41] forgive me for taking many steps andy but i wanna know why it keeps doing it rather than only haveing the problem down to one of two or three things [07:41] strarting [07:42] has anyone installed Win7 on the same physical disk as *nix and retained their filesystem(s)? any help please. [07:42] cheaba, starting? lovely! welcome to the krew [07:42] nekostar: understandable. i'll do that now. [07:42] MrSour, win7 is on first? [07:42] the install disks by default will dual boot [07:42] stealth-: Cinelerra (very weird interface) and Kino are some others I've heard of. [07:42] nekostar: no, currently jaunty [07:42] stealth-: sudo aptitude , you'll find anything in the repos using aptitude [07:43] mandrig: I know, but there is lots of different programs and i'm looking for a windows movie maker like one [07:43] MrSour, ah, ok your gonna wanna still boot to ubu install disk and resize partitions, install winstuff, then reinstall the grub loader [07:43] i only have a netbook with nothing to backup to anymore, but want to install win so i won't have to run certain things via wine or in virtualbox [07:43] nekostar: hmm.... that cmd didn't work....... suggestion? [07:43] stealth-: There are plenty of comparisons of them on Google too, KDen seems to be the one most list as best for easy use.. [07:43] andy pastebin what it said plz [07:43] stealth-: got it, just trying to help :) [07:44] correct, although i've done that before and from what i remembered there was no option to use the newly created ntfs [07:44] nekostar: lol k [07:44] mandrig: thanks anyways :) [07:44] are you familiar with it? [07:44] CoJaBo-Aztec: k, thanks [07:44] stealth-: yep [07:45] stealth-: KDenLive should still work fine in Gnome, AFAIK there arent really many other video editors out there. [07:45] nekostar: or if it did, chose to format the entire disk anyways (which i would expect from m$ anyhow) [07:45] nekostar: http://imagebin.org/53850 [07:45] MrSour, hm [07:46] Looking at http://paste.ubuntu.com/204748/ how does one add in 'enable' glx?? [07:46] ah andy: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashblock [07:46] CoJaBo-Aztec: k, i'll try that one, then. Thanks [07:46] nekostar: heh. told you i'm a noob. not like the one im used to. [07:46] nekostar, i am still without control of the resolution [07:46] nekostar, there is no resolution resolution [07:46] is it possible to do sudo apt-get install without been prompted for "Do you want to continue [Y/n]? "?? [07:46] nekostar: it wouldn't be an issue if i had something to backup to ya know? i'm currently uploading 10/90gb of data to http server [07:46] trel, then reinstall using the alternate disk instead is my best advice [07:47] MrSour, so you have linux, and you want to add windows? [07:47] correct [07:47] hemanth: add -Y to apt-get, so sudo apt-get -Y install whatever [07:47] nekostar: http://imagebin.org/53851 [07:47] mandrig: ok :) [07:47] hemanth: er... -y (lowercase) [07:47] MrSour, ive not installed it, so i dont know if you can make it only install to a partiition [07:48] hi, question, is there official ff 3.5 package for jaunty yet? [07:48] If so far I have 616 errors reported from Memtest86 (not done yet).. does that mean for sure that I'll need to repalce my ram? [07:48] I disabled php. It's still installed. How do I reinable it? If I recall correctly, I turned off the service or something. [07:48] but usually if youve created and formatted a partition to ntfs windows will install into it [07:48] nekostar: :( shoot. tried the m$ channels but they aren't so polite lol [07:48] though it prefers to be first [07:48] MrSour, try #windows [07:48] lakotajames: sudo /etc/init.d/php5 start [07:48] nekostar, thank you for the help so far - i will figure this out eventually [07:49] nekostar: well usually but i'm sure it goes without saying; windows is what it is.. [07:49] dont worry about the grub bit - just ask if it will install into say the 7th partition on a drive [07:49] MrSour, usually like i said you can make it do this stuff, you need to just ask someone who's installed it sorry [07:49] trel, yeah let me know when you do - make a thread in the forums stat [07:49] dsmith_: Section "Module" [07:49] Load "glx" [07:49] EndSection [07:49] lakotajames: I AM FULL OF LIES, that will not work [07:49] mandrig: sudo: /etc/init.d/php5: command not found [07:49] neko: no problem, thank you [07:49] thats what I had last night and it still refused to run [07:50] also try #nvidia here on freenode, they are geniuses trel [07:50] let me edit it and try [07:50] hmm does anyone know??? [07:50] er wth. [07:50] lakotajames: php doesn't run as a daemon. What are you tryng to accomplish? [07:50] hubar_, know what [07:51] Flannel: I don't know what I am doing. All I know is that I remember turning it off at somepoint, and it doesn't work right now. If I recall correctly, it was a terminal based app, and it wasn't just for php, you used it for a lot of stuff. [07:52] andy ok [07:52] Flannel: I can not remember why I turned it off. [07:52] andy now this: mv .mozilla .mozilla.old [07:52] lakotajames: Alright. Where are you trying to use it currently? with apache? [07:52] while firefox is closed. [07:53] lakotajames: Flannel: Yeah, sorry about being wrong... I thought it might have been a daemon. [07:53] nekostar: Is there firefox 3.5 official package for jaunty yet? [07:53] oh and andy, if you push alt before pushing printscr it will just take a pic of that one window [07:53] Flannel: yes. [07:53] nekostar: haha i was going through apps etc to take it [07:53] mandrig: No worries. We don't all know everything. [07:54] hubar_, yeah there is a ff 3.5 but its um [07:54] instead of the prnt button [07:54] nekostar: um? [07:54] nekostar: how can I install it? [07:54] lakotajames: Alright, uh, do you have libapache2-mod-php5 installed? [07:54] hubar_, package is called firefox-3.5 [07:54] nekostar: alright i sent it through the term.... next. [07:54] andy now open firefox and navagate to that site [07:55] by renaming that folder we took all addons and everything that wasnt hard installed in the system out. [07:55] * nekostar waits [07:55] Flannel: I don't know what I have installed. All I know is that It used to work, I no longerneeded it, and turned it off without uninstalling anything. Now I need it again, and don't remember where I turned it off. [07:56] lakotajames, you should document when you change stuff, typically. [07:56] lakotajames: alright, you might've done: `sudo a2dismod php5` and then to reverse that you do: sudo a2enmod php5 [07:56] i recommend starting a personal google docs for chages [07:56] nekostar: I think I was in a drunken stupor. [07:56] lol [07:56] you need that math google labs addon [07:56] nekostar: k, stand by. [07:56] it quizes you to see if you can actually comprehend what your doing, ok andy [07:56] nekostar: we should port that to bash [07:57] Flannel: It was a appy thingy. It gave a list of stuff, and php was on it, and I deselected it. It wasn't a single line that did something. [07:57] lakotajames: I unfortunately have absolutely no idea what you're talking about [07:57] mandrig, thats an excellent idea [07:57] mandrig, perhaps combine that with the system typing lock pacakge [07:58] hi [07:58] nekostar: good news, its telling me i dont have anything installed... so that means i can fix it... i think... here is the image. http://imagebin.org/53852 [07:58] Has anyone used VHCS as a cpanel alternative? [07:58] nekostar: next? lol thanks for all the help btw [07:58] andy [07:58] nekostar: or modify sudo somehow to check what time it is, then issue the test if needed. [07:58] ok [07:58] let me see something 1sec [07:58] nekostar: [07:58] nekostar: lol [07:58] Flannel: oh. I could be mistaken. [07:58] lakota@Ubuntu:~$ sudo a2enmod php5 [07:58] Module php5 already enabled [07:59] ok andy first delete the extensions folder from the .mozilla.old folder [07:59] hi. i wish to automate some GUI programs like I do using programs like AutoHotkey or AutoIt in windows. Can somebody here suggest a way to automate keystrokes mouse clicks within Ubuntu? [07:59] nekostar: k [07:59] lakotajames: you could take the windows "reinstall to fix the errors [07:59] lakotajames: " and sudo apt-get purge apache2 php5 && sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 [07:59] in addition delete inside the .mozilla.old/firefox/34384fewoirhwe.default/extensions === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [07:59] substatute with your default profile name of course :D [07:59] I could. I thought this would be simpler. Oh, well. Thanks === kb is now known as Guest18186 [08:00] and if you see a flashblock folder or anything that mentions it ddelete that. then delete the .mozilla [the new one that was made] and rename the .old and you should be good to go with everything else in tact but extensions [08:00] nekostar: uh.... laugh later but uh... i deleted my trash bin..... [08:00] xavier__, see xmacro [08:00] nekostar: help? hahaha [08:01] looking for help with setting up 'seperate X screen' dual monitor layout [08:01] ok i'll back up [08:01] unop: i have it installed but it is command line based. Anything more user friendly? or can you suggest some examples. thanks [08:01] first andy in your home folder you should have .mozilla and .mozilla.old [08:01] oh, crap. I shouldn't have done that. I need to change the root folder for apache back now. where do I do that? [08:01] nekostar: i deleted it [08:01] nekostar: the one you asked [08:02] nekostar: and when i right clicked the can to empty it, i deleted it from my tray.... lol [08:02] heh [08:02] you deleted the whole .old? meh [08:02] * sattam brb [08:02] o well - i port my firefox folder between OS's as well [08:02] nekostar: lol no, the the extensions [08:02] oh [08:02] good [08:02] which is best way to use gksudo to get root privilege for a script before it executes [08:02] xavier__, I don't see how anything could get easier (except in perhaps point and click terms) - it has a utility to record your actions and another to play them back, what more would you want? [08:03] yeah i'm just saying that first we renamed the .mozilla folder and then opened firefox [08:03] Just installed 9.04 (desktop), can't find any LAMP related packages anymore. What is the best way to get them? Can I add the server edition repo? [08:03] so that created a new .mozilla which we dont need at all [08:03] this folder trimming is from the one we renamed .mozilla.old or so [08:03] hemanth, why are you using gksudo instead of sudo there? [08:03] People say to use tasksel for installing LAMP, but I see no options like the ones being described [08:03] and that will be renamed to .mozilla [i recommend copying it just in case] [08:04] if memtest86+ reports say over 3,000 errors, should I go ahead and make plans on replacing my ram? [08:04] which when you open firefox again at least all bookmarks, saved passwords, etc should be back [08:04] nyaa? [08:04] unop: gui popup will come up with gksudo right [08:04] i don,t understand the red line across the screen on on xchat [08:04] sawce, yes [08:04] Anyone have any idea how to edit the file /usr/bin/sudo ? [08:04] sawce, i would double check that all voltages and timings are correct in bios first though [08:05] unop: alright .. i'll give it a try. i wanted to automate a java awt based application and was having a hard time making it detect the relocated window controls [08:05] hemanth, i dunno, will it - depends on your script, doesn't it? [08:05] nilon [08:05] Nevermind, when 9.04 booted it didn't fully update its list of packages... made it very confusing. After the reload it is simple [08:05] nekostar: alright, one sec [08:05] mandrig, what are you trying to do ultimately? [08:05] Anybody willing to offer some help with data recovery [08:05] ? [08:06] mandrig: I did what you said, and my phpbb still doesn't work. I guess it could be a problem with that. I don't need it anymore, though. I probably immagined the whole thing about turning off php [08:06] nekostar: ok I installed firefox3.5, but icon to webbrowser still llinks too 3.10. [08:06] unop: yes , that is true , was wondering if I could do something like if (/usr/bin/gksudo -u root -k -m “enter your password to gain root privleges” /bin/echo “getting root”); then [08:07] unop: currently, read the code ; longterm, possibly edit the file (i would make a sudo.new so I dont cripple my system) [08:07] how does one look at the man page of stat system call ? when i do a ``man stat" i get the page for stat command in bash ... but a ``man -k stat" reveals that there is another stat .... how do i get to that ? [08:07] hubar_, in you applications > internet youll now see a blue globe called shiritoko or so - thats it [08:07] you can right click on it and add to panel if you like and desktop also [08:08] Is there a general directory that Gnome Applet's are stored in? [08:08] nekostar: no luck on the video's still... its the same as the last post [08:09] hemanth, it would probably be something like. if gksudo appname; then echo "successful"; else echo "not successful"; fi [08:09] andy then you need to add in plugins [08:09] make sure youve added package ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:09] and enable the medibuntu repo and install stuff like w32codecs [08:10] mandrig, it's a compiled binary - you can't read 'the code' - maybe you want to get the source package and have a play around with that instead? [08:10] then try a different browser plugin for features, like i was using vlc, however now i'm using mplayer [08:10] unop: or instead as you suggest can I just do , if (su -c whoami); then [08:10] nekostar: http://imagebin.org/53853 what is this? [08:10] andy that prevents anything from running [08:10] unop: that's why I can't read most of 'sudo nano sudo', thanks [08:10] disable that [08:10] lol [08:10] nekostar: lol ok [08:10] wth did you do to your firefox? [08:11] if you had deleted all the extensions [there were two folders] that shouldnt have still been in there [08:11] nekostar: whatever the last guy told me to... mistake number one haha === blacky is now known as b14ck [08:11] lol it is what it is ^^ [08:11] your lucky i tend to play as hard as i can to break my system to fix it [08:11] got my answer :) [08:11] hemanth, su -c whoami will always print 'root' and it doesn't affect the script at all after that .. [08:11] nekostar: alright so delete both folders... again, correct? [08:12] mm [08:12] delete the folders called extension or whatnot [08:12] hemanth, are you trying to get the script to be run as root ? from within the script itself? [08:12] nekostar: lol alright [08:12] and that old mozilla folder should be in .mozilla now [08:12] because of the duplicates remember? [08:12] sounds like you need to open synaptic and remove everything firefox [08:13] then install ubuntu-desktop and go from there [08:13] unop: yes indeed [08:13] ubuntu-desktop is the metapackage the default install depends on [08:13] so dont worry when purging EVERYTHING firefox if a few things pop out typically [08:14] i'm trying to secure a server... nmap is returning 'microsoft-ds port 445' as 'filtered'. does that mean that some daemon is running which allows sockets to bind to that port on my server? and if so, what process might that be? [08:14] http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=linux+port+445&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g2&fp=OzgK0dwM7rU @ maodun [08:15] hemanth, then this should be all you need. i[[ $UID = 0 ]] || { sudo "$0" "$@"; exit; } [08:15] hemanth, [[ $UID = 0 ]] || { sudo "$0" "$@"; exit; } [08:15] hmm... so do i just need to uninstall firefox and put the disk back in to fix it? [08:16] nekostar: at you lol [08:16] Anyone willing to help this total noob? [08:16] andy no disk needed [08:16] nekostar: sorry, i should've been more clear. i know it's samba related, but reading (and grepping) through my list of processes i see no such process to kill. [08:16] unop: else execute the next statements :) [08:16] RLower: whats going on?

[08:46] andy [08:46] if mozilla was closed while doing all the deleting [08:46] maveas: yes i'm 100% sure bcoz i'm the one managing the router. :) [08:46] then when you open it it should work [08:46] nekostar: so both folders? regular mozilla and the old one? [08:46] though i would make sure that one of the plugins would be in [08:46] andy, yeah their both trash at this point [08:46] sysadmin: does your driver support wpa? [08:47] unop: how do i quit compiz? coz when i was recording the macro ... because of some unknown key combination .. now the entire screen is color inverted ... black is white and vice versa [08:47] guys , any one had luck to run PES 6 ( Pro Evolution Soccer 6 ) Under Wine ? [08:47] maveas: yes, actually it was working fine till i upgraded [08:47] how do i combine multiple partx.rar files into one single rar file, i do not want to decompress it, i just want to merge the files into one [08:47] hi kids. #1: i`m quite unpleased of the XFCE (too damn simple) and KDE (too damn complicated) desktop environments. even the GNOME did not fully satisfied my expectations. Are there any similar desktop environments i can use ? [08:47] #2: Linux Mint is a Linux distribution or is it a desktop environment ? somewhere it says that it's a desktop env. but after i have downloaded it, it seems to be a stand-alone Linux distribution, that has nothing to do with Ubuntu, other than it is built from it. [08:47] xavier__, not really sure .. it could be with this command. metacity --replace & [08:47] can anyone know about this? [08:48] nekostar: alright, i deleted it and the boxes are still there [08:48] maveas: btw, im using wicd as network manager [08:48] nekostar: both of them actually. and the browser was closed the whole time... [08:48] Desen: those are the major ones, and the most complete... just curious, what did you not like about gnome? [08:48] Radtoo: Also, how do you get a channel list? Sorry, I'm new to irssi [08:48] ergZay: i don't think that's possible , decompress them and compress them in one file again [08:48] Desen: you know for all three desktop environments, you can customize them a fair bit right? [08:48] kebomix: really thats the only way? [08:49] kebomix: what would i use to compress them [08:49] ergZay, rar itself [08:49] unop: that worked .. all my colors are correct again [08:49] rar isnt free is it? [08:49] andy make sure either totem-mozilla mozilla-mplayer or mozilla-plugin-vlc is installed [08:49] and flashplugin-nonfree [08:49] ergZay, well, it's a 'restricted' package [08:49] !info rar [08:49] rar (source: rar): Archiver for .rar files. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.8.0-2 (jaunty), package size 509 kB, installed size 1044 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) [08:49] and if that doesnt do it you need better help or a reinstall b/c its so borked lol [08:49] nekostar: checking now [08:49] mandrig: /list? [08:49] ergazy : right click on file and choose Create Achieve ( Achieve Manager ) [08:49] m0u5e, something similar to XFCE is what i want, simple. but unfortunately XFCE lacks alot of features that GNOME has [08:49] ergZay, it's free in the sense that you don't pay for it [08:50] morning folks [08:50] ah i thought you had to pay [08:50] k [08:50] Desen: XFCE in terms of look, feel, and speed? [08:50] ergZay, how many files are in your rar archive? [08:50] are there any ubuntu repository mirrors that are reachable via ipv6? [08:50] unop: is there a support channel for xmacro? coz i cannot get it to work for me [08:50] !mirrors | kblin [08:50] kblin: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Jaunty, and help keeping the servers' load low! [08:50] unop: how many files inside it or how many parts? [08:50] m0u5e, i shall research more about KDE/XFCE/Gnome. could you please answer my #2 question, regarding Linux Mint ? [08:50] Radtoo: yep, that did it, thanks [08:51] xavier__, i don't believe so - i would explore something else if xmacro wasn't giving me joy. [08:51] unop: hence i come here to ask :) [08:51] Hey, guys. My PHP doesn't work. Reinstalling didn't help. I am fairly certain I turned it off somewhere. Help? [08:51] ergZay, the former, how many files inside [08:51] raylu: none of these indicate if they;re reachable via ipv6 [08:51] unop: around 300-400 files [08:51] unop: all .jpg [08:51] Desen: linux mint is an ubuntu derivative... its just ubuntu with a arguably nicer theme and some nice additional gui [08:51] as i thought [08:51] kblin: yeah, i just realized. must have been thinking of another distro [08:51] thanx [08:52] Desen: if you like mint, try it :) [08:52] sysadmin, okay, cannot help you out - I'm not an expert on that area :S [08:52] m0u5e, thanx for your time [08:52] Desen: np, hope you find an environment you like [08:52] m0u5e, i can run Mint under Ubuntu using VirtualBox ? [08:53] Desen: ofc [08:53] hmmm [08:53] ty [08:53] hm, seems like heanet.ie is reachable over ipv6 [08:53] Desen: i don't see a reason why you cant ;) [08:54] Desen: You should be able to run anything under virtualbox that works on x86 or x86_64. [08:54] unop: why do you ask [08:54] hi, can i download ubuntu repo with rsync? [08:54] ergZay, well, i would use something this command then. rarfile="/path/to/file.rar"; cd "$(mktemp -d)"; rar x "$rarfile"; rar a newfilename.rar * [08:54] sonism: Thats a lot of .debs ... [08:54] Can someone help me set up php? [08:54] does anyone use fluxbox here? [08:55] Plain Qt programs pick up the gtk style in Jaunty in GNOME. Is it possible to make KDE programs pick up the gtk style too? [08:55] ergZay, $rarfile would be the first file in the set (part1 or similar) [08:55] but is it possible to do? [08:55] wcbg648773, i do [08:55] unop> is there any way to extend taskbar to 2 lines.or something like that to prevent 20 applications crammed down there? [08:55] m0u5e, maveas, sorry, but i have all these questions that keep coming up althou i`m trying to part from the channel :). "so, in order to use Linux Mint, i have to either run a dual boot with my current Ubuntu, either run a clean install. mirite ?" [08:56] sonism: uh, yes. you can rsync any ftp mirror and such. [08:56] wcbg648773, no - fluxbox's idea of dealing with that is to "group windows" together or make use of the other available workspaces [08:56] Desen:You could do dualboot or clean install OR by running mint in VirtualBox [08:56] unop >how can i group same windows? [08:56] Desen: Don't forget LiveCD's [08:57] Desen: Just do the virtualbox thing.. pretty simple [08:57] Hi. Under my network manager when I try to connect to wifi, it says "enter hidden ssid and press " what is a ssid and how can i find it so i can enter it? [08:57] anyone know why my hdd says its full in right click properties but when I check in the gParted it shows there is still another 46gigs avail? [08:57] SSID is the wireless network name.. === kb is now known as Guest26468 [08:57] And you're able to find it in your wireless router's settings.. [08:57] Desen: i'm not if linux ment has wubi yet... but yeah, you can either dual boot, clean install, run it in a VM [08:58] maveas: Where can i find those settings? [08:58] powertool08, maveas, just installed VirtualBox and found a nice tutorial about it, wish me luck. CHEERS [08:58] wcbg648773, well, by default this isn't done automatically - but you can set it up .. manually, you drag one window's title bar using the middle click and drop it over another window [08:58] I dont think it has to do with quotas as ubuntu doesnt come with quotas installed by default [08:58] Desen: or run it off another medium like an external, usb, or cd [08:58] fg56xfd: In your wireless router's settings.. [08:58] Desen: good luck [08:58] good idea, m0u5e [08:58] thanx! [08:58] unop : thanks :) i'll get more info on that [08:58] I am trying to set dual monitor on my laptop. On gnome Displays apperas two, laptop LCD and the external TFT, but the external TFT is always black. [08:59] how is the performance using rsync compared with wget? Radtoo [08:59] sonism, they both do different things? it's like comparing apples and oranges [09:00] my controller is a VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [09:00] but i heard that i can down load files with rsync? [09:01] wcbg648773, to set up automatic grouping - you have to edit your ~/.fluxbox/apps file - see http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Howto_edit_the_apps_file [09:01] Radtoo, can you explain, please? [09:01] ok, so I'm just missing an ipv6 mirror for security.ubuntu.org [09:01] unop : seeing now [09:02] didn't realize ubuntu was as bad as windows in respect to ipv6 support :) [09:02] maveas: Where can i find those settings? [09:02] sonism, you can download files using rsync as long as the remote end (server) has rsync enabled or has a ssh/rsh shell/service [09:02] Could somebody please take a look at these errors? I'm trying to build an ati driver pkg, yes I'm aware its in the repo's http://paste.ubuntu.com/204797/ [09:03] sonism, and that excludes a lot of file/web servers [09:03] unop, sonism: Or ftp / http. [09:03] sonism: What did you want me to explain? [09:04] kblin, well, 'bad' would be when a majority of the public internet is IPv6 capable (which it isn't) - so it's really a non-issue (except for you perhaps) :) [09:04] Plain Qt programs pick up the gtk style in Jaunty in GNOME. Is it possible to make KDE programs pick up the gtk style too? [09:04] about the difference, rsync and wget? [09:04] Hi. Under my network manager when I try to connect to wifi, it says "enter hidden ssid and press " what is a ssid and how can i find it so i can enter it? [09:05] max__: stop spamming [09:05] Radtoo, that's vague - care to explain? [09:05] ssid is the wifi network name [09:05] unop: that's a chicken-egg reasoning [09:06] I've just told him.. and you are able to find the name in the router's settings.. [09:06] kblin, what is? [09:06] unop: I'm not going to switch to IPv6 until I can get security updates for my systems using it, and ubuntu is not going to provide security updates via ipv6 until a significant number of people use ipv6 [09:06] what came first the food or the stomach [09:07] satellite: the food? [09:07] cheers [09:07] what about the food with stomachs [09:07] Dammit satellite .. I don't know xD [09:08] kblin, well, yea, switching over to IPv6 is quite a major change with some significant commitment (and cost) - right now (recessionary economy??), it's not worth it. [09:08] whats everybody like the best on ububuntu [09:08] oh shizzle [09:08] ok Radtoo, thank you. i think i have to dig deeper on the web about it. [09:08] ubuntu [09:09] kblin, even if ubuntu's network was IPv6 capable and you could connect to it - you'd still need IPv4 to connect to the other 99.9% of the internet :) [09:09] Does ubuntu have a harddrive limit? [09:09] unop: Just saying rsync also works on http / ftp [09:09] sounds like you can dig it [09:09] how instal something whit wine , if I have mounted shadowground imgage whit gmount ? [09:09] kblin, in other words - stop cribbing :) [09:09] exit [09:10] who made wine [09:10] unop: I'm currently setting up an ipv6 test network, and I couldn't care less if my users need ipv4 to view their pr0n [09:10] Radtoo, well, the manpage and documentation say it doesn't - so have you learnt something that's not public knowledge? [09:10] i heard delovipers from anartika [09:10] unop: but security fixes is kind of more critical [09:10] cheaba: Many of the people that do crossover office and stuff plus a lot of open source developing individuals [09:10] kblin, what about your own pr0n? :) [09:10] you rock we rock [09:10] rad [09:11] you got your ears on [09:11] unop: sixxs.net has an ipv6>ipv4 gateway for web browsing [09:11] how instal something whit wine , if I have mounted shadowground imgage whit gmount ? === mandrig_1 is now known as mandrig [09:11] cirvis: double-click on the setup.exe like on windows? [09:11] do it with terminal [09:12] kblin, yea, i know - but that really doesn't help when you have to do stuff that's not web-browing [09:12] kblin, not to worry tho - the rate at which china/india eat up the IPv4 address space, IPv6 should be here in a jiffy :) [09:12] anyone available with lighttpd knowlodge [09:12] unop: but as I said, I don't care much. it's a local network with a win2k8 active directory and vista, win7 and linux clients [09:12] does ubuntu support music [09:13] i want to do amazing things with music [09:13] >.< [09:13] cheaba: absolutely not. ubuntu is completly against any and all media capabilities. [09:13] cheaba: Yes it does, mpd is amazing imo. [09:13] unop: I was just hoping to be able to get security updates for ubuntu at least, after microsoft alrady botched having AAAA records for their update site [09:13] Can anyone tell me what may be wrong with this picture? http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/4066/screenshotqob.jpg [09:14] i need the best [09:14] Hi, In my Network Manager it shows my wireless as "wlan interface" and it says disconnected. But when I click the check nothing happens. Theres a text field that says "connect to hidden network" and when i hover over that it says "enter hidden ssid and press " What is an ssid and how can I find it so I can enter it? [09:14] cheaba: you want a player? or mixing/composition program?

[09:16] unop: Duh, you're right. I confused wget and rsync with each other. [09:16] kblin, but look at the properties dialog .. it claims a different used/free space with a major discrepancy - almost half [09:16] maveas: check your capslock key [09:17] kblin: I isn't a fault ;) [09:17] thanks mandrig [09:17] hi. can i make my laptop an wifi access point and make it run in "Infrastructure mode" ? specs .. broadcomm wifi chipset .. vendor Dell [09:17] kblin: unop is there anyway to change that?

[09:17] thats funkin funny [09:18] xavier__: ask #aircrack - they should know :) [09:18] do you live in a barn [09:18] unop: never mind I just googled it lol :) 1 min [09:18] Crash1hd, yea, you can change the reserved blocks using the tune2fs command [09:18] Radtoo, i did download FreeBSD from their site using rsync. Does the ubuntu download center provide this service? [09:18] cheaba: ...? [09:18] Crash1hd, $ whatis df [09:18] df (1) - report file system disk space usage [09:18] just jokin manrig [09:19] Crash1hd, don't paste the output here tho [09:19] jesus was born in a barn [09:19] maveas: tx [09:19] cheaba, you're offtopic.

[09:21] unop: kblin ok so I have to look into tune2fs to change the percentage? [09:21] Crash1hd: look at tune2fs [09:21] unop: actually df reports the same as the properties window [09:21] unop: and 45 gig of 909 gig are ~ 5% [09:22] Crash1hd: I think the default is from a time when hdds were still measured in megabytes :) [09:22] hey [09:22] what are we geting [09:23] anyways whats the topic [09:23] hey, anyone in here use Compiz and Avant window manager workign correctly together? I keep having compiz crash and then I have this window up about compositing, and now I'm not sure how to recover from it [09:23] does that i mean i can pick one [09:23] kblin: makes sense looks like all I have to do is tune2fs -u username and that will fix my issue [09:23] hehe [09:23] how do you check the time in bash? [09:24] my bad [09:24] Hi I have a plextor 716a I just update to 9.04 ubuntu and im not sure if that caused it but im getting coaster city over here...

I just used k3b and brasero image burn did the same thing [09:24] Radtoo, that really work for me.... :D Terima Kasih [09:24] It actually burned fine it appeared for 15 seconds or so.. then it went to solid green and froze [09:25] I had it set to 8x as its suppposed to be [09:25] kblin: or not hmmm doesnt seem to error but just shows usage when I run it [09:25] mandrig use command date [09:25] Thingymebob: thanks :) [09:26] sonism: No problem (can't speak malay though). [09:26] unop: went through the packaging documents {linked by you previously} , is it better to test the new deb file created on VM or is there any other safe method like check_install [09:26] Radtoo: ha ha ha you can recognize my language....

[09:29] mandrig: barely. I have relatives in singapore. Either way, hope the mirroring works somehow for you (the mirrors are huge though... if you have this kind of resources to mirror regularly you might almost want to consider becoming an official mirror yourself... :P) [09:29] thow out some ideas [09:29] bad cd [09:29] nope [09:29] kblin: I thought just adding the user would be easier then I dont have to change any sizes [09:29] taiyo yuden [09:29] so no [09:29] Smis: the windows trojans?

[09:29] what are you burning [09:29] so maybe [09:30] iso [09:30] didnt think about that [09:30] yeah [09:30] UbuTheUbi: you need at least that much disk space [09:30] was working earlier [09:30] whats the software [09:30] UbuTheUbi: aging drive? I had two drives halfway die, they won't read burned media or boot from any media, still reads storebought stuff fine though. [09:30] it'll write a temp file to disk first [09:30] an image file [09:30] hello. my computer has weird boot problems. I bought a new hard drive and installed linux on it. on start up, the computer doesn't find a drive to boot from, I have to enter bios, exit it without saving, then it magically boots, but with some sata-related errors. dmesg here (last few lines look interesting) : http://pastie.org/526254 - it's a known problem, [09:30] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/220706 however, my system boots after a time [09:30] kblin: oh haha I noticed what I was forgetting the device at the end lol [09:30] let me see its the size [09:30] Smis: no, if you frequently update your ubuntu. [09:30] Smis: there is a remote chance of that. so you need to keep your system up-to-date in any case [09:31] also it did happen right afteri updated to 9,04 too [09:31] I do [09:31] thank god for vm ware [09:31] Smis: rootkits for linux exist but not really in the wild, stay updated and install tripwire, rkhunter, and chkrootkit if you are still worried, also might consider clamav or something to avoid passing windows trojans on to others [09:31] could be it has been through it [09:31] just jokin [09:32] i think its an ubuntu / k3b / brasero problem as ive never had it happen on xp [09:32] i think nero will burn it right [09:32] kblin, errm, actually, look closer at the df output. 850G/896G == 100% :) [09:32] oh well, I'll just go and set up a local mirror for security.ubunu.com in the meantime [09:32] i may try vm ware or wine? [09:33] Smis: I have my ubuntu up and running without any encounter with trojans, as far as i know... [09:33] unop: yeah, which is around 45 gig [09:33] Yeah mine either [09:33] unop: with a few rounding-related differences [09:33] lemme clear up some space here and see if that helps [09:33] Smis : it's been 2 years [09:33] I run my ubuntu on an eee pc] [09:33] is furby her [09:33] and I love it [09:33] e [09:33] kblin, you don't get it -- it reports / as being 100% full - and the figures don't add up [09:33] is there any kind of logs in brasero [09:34] where i can get some kinna error [09:34] Smis, good for you then.. [09:34] but I cant upgrade to 9.04 because i dont have enough space [09:34] kblin, 850G used out of 896G is not 100% [09:34] unop: yes, that's because 5% of the drive is reserved for system users [09:34] unop: that's by design [09:34] what the crap! [09:34] brasero is sleeping [09:34] haha [09:34] lazy pos [09:35] j/k [09:35] UbuTheUbi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:35] sorry bad habit to hit enter too much [09:35] i got to jam you rock linux rocks [09:35] unop: normal users can't write if the hdd is 95% full, so from a user's persepctive, the 95% are all of the drive [09:35] hi... I have not been able to recover my old ubuntu partition on my harddrive so I was just going to reinstall the operating system. I am currently dual booting, and I want to make sure only to reinstall Ubuntu over the 17 gigs it currently has allocated [09:35] viva la mossa [09:35] Could someone point me to a resource where I know I am not screwing anything up [09:35] Smis: i personally doesn't like 9.04 too much... still running 8.04 [09:35] !install [09:35] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [09:36] so why woul dthe burning program be sleeping after i burn start a dvd? [09:36] it still shows the frozen progress meter and all [09:36] kblin, bah .. you're right - but that's only with EXTx filesystems - and you might be aware by now that i don't use EXTx [09:36] Do I need to repartition the current 9.04 install before I reinstall? [09:36] unop: dunno, I keep forgetting about that stuff as long as my disks are not full as well [09:36] should I wake up brasero or will it go ape crap on me [09:37] unop: so out of curiosity, what fs do you use? [09:37] kblin, reiser4 [09:37] unop: ah, I hope you do frequent backups then :) [09:38] seriiously if anyone knows why it would just take a nap after i started burning id like to know.. it says its sleeping .. does that mean my pc is narcoleptic? [09:38] Jinxed: if you did the partitioning before, ten you don't have to [09:38] kblin: do I have to unmount the / before this will work? [09:38] unop: Has your fs ever tried to kill your wife ;) [09:38] how do i make sure ubuntu only installs in the 17 gig partition [09:39] which option do i select... last time i messed up the harddrive with an install so I want to be sure [09:39] Crash1hd: not sure, never changed that setting before [09:39] Jinxed: you only need to re-set the mount point [09:39] sonism: how would i do that [09:39] where can i go to find the error that caused it to sleep [09:39] kblin: how would I go about remounting it after unmounting it? [09:39] like error logging in xp [09:39] kblin, well, there's no excuse for not making frequent backups - so i do on that principle. that said, I find reiser to be better than ext - as stable, if not more. [09:39] or how would i go about debugging it [09:39] Jinxed: re-install ubuntu with manual partitioning [09:40] powertool08, it's killed a few children over time :) [09:40] Jinxed: what's your secondary system? windows? [09:40] yes [09:40] Crash1hd: well, it's probably easier to do this from a livecd if you really need to unmount it [09:40] and it has all of my important files right now... [09:41] and it takes forever to get windows the way i like it [09:41] Crash1hd: it's kind of hard to unmout / on a running system [09:41] does anyone here use Blender? http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=29whw4&s=5 [09:41] kblin: that would make sesne [09:41] does anyone know what gnome compositing manager does? (will it work with compiz? will it make my panels realtime transparent?) [09:42] !manual install [09:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about manual install [09:42] Jinxed: so, if you feel that you are more familiar with windows partitioning tool such as partition magic, then you better to do it from it [09:42] sonism: how would i install ubuntu from partition magjic [09:42] mdadm need configure if i set the raid0 in the bios and setup on this raid the linux? [09:42] anyone know of an app were i can pass mouse and keyboard input via network [09:42] ok in the system monitor and i right clicked on the memory maps of brasero and its not availble or responding [09:42] m0u5e: I believe it will work in place of compiz as a compositing manager, and yes, transparency, but not as flashy as compiz [09:42] zmanning, synergy ? [09:43] I have the partitions the way i want them... its just ubuntu broke after I enabled my video card drivers and I haven't been able to boot back into it, so I figured I should just reinstall it [09:43] Jinxed: not the install, i mean the partitioning your drive [09:43] powertool08: what if i turn on both at the same time? o_O [09:43] unop: money in the bank. you rule. [09:43] sonism: I have my harddrives partitioned the way i want right now [09:43] anyway, off I go [09:43] its just i need to reinstall ubuntu over the current ubntu parition... because of the video card driver problem [09:43] m0u5e: Awesomeness will occur, or one will crash, or simply replace the other, I'm not really sure... [09:44] http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=29whw4&s=5 has anyone seen anything like this before? [09:44] Jinxed: can you boot your ubuntu? [09:44] hi, i'm trying to follow a guide on how to make my wireless card work, but when i typed "make" at the terminal the out says "cd: 1: can't cd to /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/build [09:44] Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH.

[09:44] powertool08: i'm opting for awesomeness [09:44] powertool08: thx :) [09:45] sonism: depends what you mean by boot... i have an option to but then it just shows a black screen [09:45] m0u5e: ha, good luck :) [09:45] Jinxed: a black screen with prompt? [09:46] sysadmin: I think you can set the kernelpath in the config file then reconfigure, make, etc? [09:47] guys, if i'm user fakeRAID, i'm must use mdadm or not?

[10:10] genii ok but the problem is that my current and oly connection is from notebook through wireless [10:11] ive reinstalled ubuntu from scrach and need to update it [10:11] ive conected the two pc over patched lan cables [10:11] Kjell: yes, i need to install 777 permissions on directory (and subcontents) with gftp, which dont have a 777-inputbox but only checkboxes [10:11] cable. [10:12] i use FVWM-Crystal with Clean theme , and how can i show the application memu list??? [10:12] so my question is how to make ubuntu to use vistas wireless connection? [10:12] THANK YOU [10:13] how can I instal adobeflash ? [10:13] <_xray> jillsmitt : so you check "x" "r" and "w" on all files and dirs [10:13] jillsmitt: Do you see the remote button at the top? [10:13] anyone tell me whats the best ap for converting audio cd's to mp3's ? [10:13] lmae [10:13] lame** [10:13] Kjell: yes [10:14] audio cd extractor [10:14] :P [10:14] jillsmitt: If you press the chmod you get a box. 777 means Read Write and Execute on Owner Group and Other [10:14] jillsmitt: Owner is user [10:15] genii? :) [10:15] how can I instal adobeflash ? [10:16] where to go for Ubuntu Ntbook remix on Samsung NC10? [10:16] i use FVWM-Crystal with Clean theme , and how can i show the application memu list out ???? [10:16] cirvis: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [10:16] how can I instal adobe flash ? [10:16] which key i push? [10:16] jillsmitt: So press on the file you want to chmod before you press that [10:16] tnx [10:16] anybody know? [10:16] heyas peeps... hate to bug everyone yet again but I figured otu a few things and I needed to see fi it was possible to abolutely ensure that when gnome starts, zompiz starts *before* awn... reliably and without using osmething liek the sleep command in bash if I can get away with somethign more elegant and better [10:17] trouble: According to MS page http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/0bc25559-ef18-40aa-bd34-f4e04d8c32b61033.mspx The client machines should just be set to "Auto" ...eg: the ICS server box must be giving out IPs to the clients. Same principle should also apply regardless of OS [10:17] is netbookremix only difference is the GUI? [10:17] Kjell: and if i made it with directory... and subdirs has this rights too? [10:18] trying: try channel #fvwm [10:18] * Aacron pokes raylu... you awake my infinitely bugged ubuntu guru? [10:18] genii so i just make ant auto to my eth0? [10:18] Aacron: yes [10:18] jillsmitt: chmod should ignore it if you do not have persmission but it may loop through. I was going to say that there is another way... [10:18] raylu: yay! [10:18] trouble: That would be the idea, yes [10:18] ok ,thank you legend2448 [10:18] genii ok ill try [10:19] jillsmitt: FTP => Options => check : Allow manualcommands in GUI [10:19] hello. i can't connect to wireless network even if i already supplied the right WPA.

[10:20] genii youre nick must be genius :D [10:20] grrr cpoy paste controls aren't working? :| [10:20] Thank you it worked out :) [10:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1119945 [10:20] trouble: You're welcome [10:20] raylu: ^^ soryr forgot to insert name [10:20] Aacron: um... awn? heh. [10:20] yeah... haven't seen what esle to use [10:21] oh, awn = dock [10:21] raylu: yeah. [10:21] z. [10:22] raylu: looks nice... just... from what I read if it starts before compiz, evil things can happen where compiz crashes and bitches at me about compositing somethign or another [10:22] Aacron: is it just me or is there no #2? [10:22] can some1 pls tell me what to do bcoz i cant connect to a wireless network even though i supplied the correct WPA for it. i am using wicd as my Network manager and i can see the SSID for the said network [10:23] raylu: so basically I need to make sure that awn starts after compiz, and the post I pasted link to probably works but... its not exactly a very elegant solution [10:23] raylu: hrmm #2?? [10:24] raylu: what did you mean there? [10:24] Aacron: hm... i can't really think of something better. that's a lot of steps for something that can be explained as "add 'sleep 10; ' to the beginning of the command in ~/.config/autostart" [10:24] Aacron: i mean there are 9 points in that post in blue, but no 2 [10:25] how do I list my hdd? resulting in the for of (hd0) etc [10:25] form* [10:25] anybody who has got 2.4.20 kernel patch for bluez [10:25] MrSour: for grub? /boot/grub/device.map [10:25] yeah... basically I was wondering if there was somethign like... start compiz, wait 10 seconds, start awn (and in that order) [10:25] yes. Ty [10:26] Aacron: not really, since compiz starts up as your window manager. it's configured somewhere in gconf [10:26] raylu: one of these days I'll remember to type the name every time [10:26] bitlbee has gotten me into the habit :P [10:26] hi [10:27] raylu: sicne they are usign the bash command... does bash have some ability to wait till a program fully loads before it continues to the next command? [10:27] raylu: erm... bash shell!! [10:27] raylu: liek perhaps if I edited it to... : [10:27] jillsmitt: However, if this is a webpage server you are using it is not recommended to use chmod 777. You should restrict it to 644 [10:27] Aacron: yes, that's what ; is doing. it wait until sleep terminates [10:28] Aacron: also to note: a && b will run b after a terminates and only if a terminates with an error code of 0 [10:28] Aacron: and a || b is the same but only if the a's exit code is non-0 [10:28] Exec=bash -c "(compiz's command); wait 5; awn" [10:28] hrmm [10:29] Aacron: again, compiz is started by gnome as the window manager, not in the session startup [10:29] !permissions | jillsmitt [10:29] jillsmitt: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [10:29] raylu: eh so its similar to either running a command in a bat file with or without 'start'? [10:30] raylu: kk... hopefully awn will run *after* compiz then. [10:30] jillsmitt: permissions on a directory do not carry over to files inside the directory or subdirectories. in fact, they're interpreted differently [10:30] jillsmitt: since you can't "execute" a directory [10:31] raylu: at least awn hasnt' crashed again (yet) [10:31] I have some trouble running alsa on my 1h old ubuntu. alsamixer returns this: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device, if run as a user. as root it works fine, same with mplayer, fails as user, works as root. as user: strace -eopen alsamixer returns this: http://nopaste.org/p/aWJuFwtG5 Any idea? I think it has to be permission problem. it there a better way then just chmod 777 /dev/snd ? [10:32] dren: run groups as your user [10:33] raylu: groups: dren adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [10:33] gogin to try a reboot and see if it barfs some compositing errors at em again :P [10:34] Hello I have a problem with my ubuntu 810, I dont have enough disk space for certain downloads and I want to know how to create space [10:34] <_xray> why reboot ?

[10:36] jillsmitt: uh, you cannot use a lot of characters without having the right encoding... [10:36] smis : how much space did you have at the time of installation ? [10:36] Smis: erm... cant create it from thin air, but you could try to un-install some apps [10:36] Smis: You partition your drive and put filesystems on that... [10:36] Morning [10:36] jillsmitt: try notepad =p Just kidding. [10:36] I think I used to have about 1 gig or so [10:37] Radtoo: what can i do then? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [10:37] Smis: you could start with a command line only install, and then install only programs that you want on top of that [10:37] Smis: sudo apt-get clean will delete any packages you have in /var/cache/apt/archives [10:37] this has the capacity of 2 or so gigs [10:37] Kjell: what is notepad? i want it if it can this [10:37] .rar file opener? [10:37] I already tried uninstalling apps [10:37] install urar [10:37] cirvis : isntall unrar from synaptic [10:37] jillsmitt: Well, for starters, are you trying to use ASCII encoding or somesuch? Just accept the encoding change? [10:37] I have tried by putting an sd card in my computer but that's not really helping [10:37] jillsmitt: The Windows editor. Kinda crappy it too [10:38] I am downloading from the internet and it wont go to my SD card even when I tell it to [10:38] it just doesnt download [10:38] Kjell: ... it doesn't even support line endings other than crlf. its horrible. [10:38] Smis: is the card mounted read-only? [10:38] Smis: what are you using to download ? [10:38] smis : I think you have not mounted the card properly [10:39] Kjell: what means Windows editor? [10:39] smis : you need to change the directory permissions [10:39] Kjell: what multi-windows editor or what? [10:39] I am using mozilla [10:39] I dont know if the card is read only [10:39] jillsmitt: It is the thing that Microsoft makes but is broken. [10:39] I have mounted it properly it shows up on the desktop [10:40] join #django [10:40] natthu where do I go change directory permissions [10:40] Sorry if anyone answered me, my IRC client crashed prematurely :) [10:40] can you tell me the directory location where you have mounted the sd card ? [10:40] jillsmitt: If you have wine installed you can try it out. It is located under Programs [10:40] it must be some where in /media [10:41] Yes it is [10:41] Natthu [10:41] what is the directory name ? [10:41] in /media /disk [10:42] open up terminal, type - sudo chmod 774 -R /media/disk [10:42] what does that do? [10:42] !chmod [10:42] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [10:42] Natthu: can i use this method with ftp files? [10:42] jillsmitt : I think you can [10:43] Natthu: and i need recoursive permissions [10:43] provided the ftp account has been given enough permissiosn [10:43] -R does recursive [10:44] smis : also, try sudo chown : -R /media/disk [10:44] raylu: adding dren to audio did not fix it I tried that in advance, sorry that I didn't say that in advance [10:44] Natthu: type for ftp-examle please [10:44] Natthu: this string [10:44] dren: oh :?( [10:44] *:( [10:45] jilsmitt : what I think you want to do is change file permissions while logged into ftp account .. is that rite ? [10:45] howto disable the keysring-password i have to type every start for wifi? (with autologin) in jaunty? with 8.04 i was using an empty keyring and it was working but not with jaunty [10:46] quick question, but what is the best match on linux to utorrent? the torrent client that comes with ubuntu doesnt' quite have all the options i'd like, and its footprint actually seems larger than utorrent... [10:46] aacron : use deluge [10:46] where can I set visibility - vhen I have opened some flder I can see thrue my desktop? [10:47] natthu, I typed in a command and I got things saying OPERATION NOT PERMITTED [10:47] Natthu: thanks :P I'll give that a show [10:47] Smis: try putting sudo in front of the command [10:47] did you type sudo ? [10:47] Yes [10:47] Aacron: why not just use utorrent? [10:48] it gave a long list of the content in my Media Disk [10:48] So I was told I need to use my /dev/sda5 as a mount point to reinstall ubuntu over a current installation, and i am not sure how to set it as a mount point http://imagebin.org/53860 [10:48] Kjell: its a windows app? :P [10:48] Aacron: yea but wunder wine works great [10:48] Kjell: or is there a linux version??? didnt' know there was one [10:49] smis : please go to /media directory and type ls -l [10:49] Kjell: ahh.. see I still ahven't quite figured otu hwo to use wine :| [10:49] unop: thats what it was I reset the percentage to a smaller number and got more room :) thanks for the help [10:49] <_NiC> aacron, maybe not quite what you want, but I would recommend rtorrent. [10:49] Aacron: the command line is your friend. "wine bla.exe". [10:49] hi all, i'm trying to watch hulu's videos, but it only works for usa, is there any way to see it from the outside? [10:50] hey guys when i try to install ubuntu.. i have vista and xp previously installed, i am asked on install about a vista boot loader and then when i try to manually choose partition it says that no root file was specified... [10:50] Aacron: give it a try [10:50] unop: thank kblin too :) as kblin is no longer online [10:50] Kjell: sure will :P [10:50] Crash1hd, you're welcome :) [10:50] manuel_: Use a USA proxy... [10:51] how do i choose the root folder?? [10:51] DaNkaTa: i have tried it, but it goes sooooo slow (take in account is an streaming service) [10:52] manuel_: Try a alternative proxy you have obvouisly then selected a slow one [10:53] theres something wrong here, I already cancelled these downloads on my downloads list but they wont go away [10:53] wtf [10:53] hmm..I just lounched killingfloor ,and something wrong was whit may mouse,like it was some kinde of box ,I couldnt poit to lower bars..and when I pres play it just kicked me out .. :( shoud I instal directx and how? [10:53] my penis is huge [10:53] DaNkaTa: i mean they all are soo slow, is not the same using your direct internet connection than trying to redirect yours over a server located in the usa (and even worst if you live in the overseas like me) [10:54] HOWS THE UBUNTU PORN [10:54] damn cap loc [10:54] cheaba, ... [10:54] cheaba: uhhh? [10:54] cirvis: dunno. is it a windows game or something? [10:54] I gues it is... [10:55] cirvis: And you're running it with wine? cedega? in a VM? [10:55] shizzle [10:55] whit wine [10:55] y'all just need to take a break :P [10:55] good night everyone! [10:55] cirvis: appdb.winehq.com may have information. [10:56] i need to download wine quikly [10:56] did I do something wrong? :( [10:56] whatz the most stable version [10:57] cirvis: frequently there are game-specific patches (which you can use if you compile wine from source yourself, arguably not a 5 minute effort only) or settings on appdb. If appdb doesn't have a fix for a problem, such a fix probably doesnt exist. [10:57] no man you all right [10:57] we just talkin [10:58] Hi, is there a printer dialogue program that I can point printing applications to? Something like kprinter? [10:58] cheaba, I'd just go with the one that's in Ubuntu repos already [10:58] (I'm in gnome) [10:58] sudo apt-get install wine [10:58] nice [10:59] newer versions aren't *unstable* any more than what the current release is. [10:59] so there is cople of games that goes throu wine? [11:00] cirvis, I've successfully gotten Trackmania and WoW working without issues.

[11:02] huh [11:02] http://www.h3manth.com/2008/11/who-said-no-games-in-ubuntu [11:02] cirvis: happypenguin.org for some linux native games. Remainder goes through wine or some console emulator or somesuch. [11:02] I installed firefox 2 right off the bat... Downgraded 3.0 to 2. tthat was really doing bad so i deleted everything with firefox. then i reinstalled firefox3.0 and now i have to type firefox-3.0 at the cmd prompt to open firefox [11:03] cirvis: http://www.h3manth.com/2008/11/who-said-no-games-in-ubuntu.html [11:03] would ddrescue/dd_rescue help me when the errors are purely filesystem related? (ie, the disk has no bad blocks... the fs is just corrupt) [11:03] cirvis: no. [11:04] you guys are no help and are useless [11:04] clank: sorry, that was for you. no. it does an exact copy of the blocks underneath the filesystem [11:04] cirvis: working ? [11:04] hi! >) [11:04] Radtoo: whats the correct tool then? fsck isn't working [11:04] !autostart [11:04] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [11:05] michael jackson lives! you guys dont know about the Thriller 2 BACK TO LIFE tour?! [11:05] clank: the fsck utility shipped with your filesystem is the only thing that may work, as far as I know. [11:06] clank: Which it is depends on the filesystem you use. These utilities usually have some options you can try. [11:06] satellite: i wonder if his skin become black in his grave [11:07] !sudo [11:07] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [11:07] ! [11:07] clank: And, at least from my experience, almost all manage to get the filesystem back in working shape (with perhaps some files lost) as long as the underlying hardware isn't damaged as well. But it depends on what filesystem you use and waht happend, I guess. [11:10] i've read about that killing floor but didn get anything becouse Im noob .. :( [11:10] I have an 80 plus line bash script I copies from the forums. However the author posted it with the line numbers. Is there an easy way to remove those in bulk? [11:11] copied* [11:11] Radtoo: i was messed up with my fs and i can fix it with a tool in Linux System Rescue. forgot the tool name [11:12] g [11:13] mrwes: s/^\d+\D// [11:13] * sonism eating pangsit noodle [11:13] clank, uh? heh [11:13] Kjell: hey... i tried running utorrent, and it says that it thinks its already running?? [11:13] sonism: linux system rescue cd perhaps. some gentoo-based live cd that contains filesystem utilities and some menu guidance to do common system maintenance stuff... [11:13] ehhh :( [11:13] cirvis: what difficulty are you facing ? [11:14] ok [11:15] Hi, may I ask again, is anyone aware of printer dialogue program in gnome that it's possible to print through? [11:15] about that killin floor :( [11:15] clank, can you explain that alittle more? [11:15] the-alchemist: describe what you need better, I have trouble getting what you want [11:17] Radtoo: Say I would like to print a file. I would like to type something like and that would pop up a printer dialogue, let me configure the printer settings graphically and then print. [11:17] all the time I heve used windows , and this is 2nd time that I try to go into linux OS ,but I dont get any thing :( [11:17] alchemist, why don't you open that file in openoffice and print it [11:17] I think I shud let you configure the details [11:18] who can explain why the result of the following commands is different? [11:18] ls -l /etc/passwd /etc/hosts err1 err1 >llog 2>&1 [11:18] ls -l /etc/passwd /etc/hosts err1 err1 >llog 2>llog [11:18] the-alchemist: Hemm, I don't think theres any program that can universally interpret files. Never seen anything like this on any operating system. [11:18] Neo2: Because I would like to point other programs to this program, like opera. [11:18] cirvis : Why is that [11:18] the-alchemist: Usually you need to open the file with a program that can handle it, and then print from that. [11:19] Radtoo: What if it's a postscript file, or a text file? [11:19] Radtoo: may be alchemist asked you something about CUPS? [11:19] I have a problem: my firefox cannot connect to some webpages but I dont know why? for example: http://www.thinner.cc [11:19] all in here so dificult for me but I realy want use linux oS becouse windows brakes down all the time.. [11:19] anyone use wtorrent here/ [11:19] ? [11:20] lord_hypnos : that maybe an ISP side problem [11:20] ProFTPd question: what do i write and in which file in order to let anonymous users to acces a specific folder situated on my HDD (mounted NTFS partition). I cannot find what i`m seeking in the documentation file [11:20] the-alchemist: these can be printed directly (well, if the printer supports it). But I don't know about a "dialogue" then, I'd give all the information to lpr instead. :) [11:20] try changing your DNS servers [11:20] Radtoo, Neo2 : lpr submits files for printing. I want that, but with a configure dialogue. [11:20] neo2: how do I do that? [11:20] the-alchemist: (meaning, all is configured as an argument to the command I'd print with) [11:21] I've got a jaunty desktop with a usb2 ext3 drive attached, for some reason when the computer is left unattended, i'll come back and there will be multiple instances of nautilus open to the drive, and all shares smb & nfs will no longer work and their services needed to be restarted.. any one have any idea? [11:21] the-alchemist: Okay, I don't know of such. You'll have to take an intermediate step through a file viewer, as far as I know... [11:21] neo2, i found the option to change it [11:21] offtop: who knows DLE? [11:21] lord , k [11:21] what should i change it too?

What's a good standard one? [11:22] these are the opendns servers [11:22] Hi everyone! I need a little help! Please tell me how I can access a partition that has a messed up ubuntu installation on it. I'm trying to get access to my documents I have on it from a different partition that also has ubuntu, but the home folder is not visible. The partition still shows it has several gigabytes of data on it though, but some folders are owned by root. How could I get... [11:22] ...access to it? [11:22] \j [11:22] ops [11:22] Gorkie: a little help?) [11:22] :) [11:22] jillsmitt, go to #ubuntu offtopic [11:24] the-alchemist: the pdf viwers can view postscript files. But an application that does near everything... tbh, okular from kde4 is best for that. [11:24] neo2 still doesnt work, you use those servers? [11:24] gorkie: with any luck, if you boot up any other distro on that machine, the partition should automount [11:24] lord, yes [11:24] Gorkie: are you running LiveCD? [11:24] that is assuming the partition/disk doesn't have errors/etc [11:24] and http://thinner.cc/ works for you?

There is an option when you boot from the CD. [17:17] new in ubuntu [17:17] maybe...i can copy the /boot from the live CD and boot from there? [17:17] ok guys i guess ive changed what you all told [17:17] now i restart [17:18] blithen.. i have only 3 options.. demo and full installation, install inside windows and learn more [17:18] Kjell: when i had the previous kernel still on there along with the new one (following the upgrade), i was able to boot from it.

[17:20] any ideas guys?? its like installing grub from scratch :P [17:20] guys still the same [17:21] Babajus: what did you change? [17:21] ctmjr: metamodes [17:22] Babajus: did you edit the xorg.conf file as root? [17:22] in xconfig file [17:22] is mysql-server broken on 9.04 main? [17:22] legend2440: yes [17:22] Babajus: to what? === kronix is now known as McCauly === McCauly is now known as McCaulyCulkin === McCaulyCulkin is now known as MacaulyCulkin [17:23] ctmjr: to 1024x768 [17:23] good day all:D [17:23] ctmjr: but weird is that it after reboot removes it [17:24] Babajus: does xorg.conf still say 1024x768? or did it change? [17:24] legend2440: it sais 800x600 [17:24] and 1024x768 is removed [17:24] lunaphyte_: Are you using the same compute to join irc? [17:24] Babajus: this is what you need to do comment out the twinview option and the metamode option put this in front of it # so it looks like this #Option then save it and restart X [17:25] Kjell: it says "/bin/sh: vim: not found" and if i try to cat it, it says "no such file or directory". [17:25] I installed sound juicer to attempt to rip a CD but then realised I didn't need it - Now whenever I select the CD drive from the Places menu it seems as though it's trying to execute sound-juicer instead of nautilus - How can I change that? [17:25] I have a question about my firefox download speed; It starts at around 2 MB/s and whittles down to about 800 KB/s. [17:25] Why? [17:25] lunaphyte__: Then you need vim.tiny [17:25] renagadex what is your connection speed? [17:25] Kjell: no, i'm on a laptop. it's a server with no gui (plus it won't boot anyway). [17:25] renagadex: It's just the way speeds are calculated, I think. What is the actual connection speed you pay for? [17:25] renagadex i think it probablyt relies entirely in your isp [17:25] renagadex, have you tried downloading the same file with wget? [17:26] no [17:26] ctmjr: so instead twinview? put metamodes? [17:26] My dl speed is really 21 MB/s [17:26] renagadex no to which reply? [17:26] renagadex ok [17:26] ok,my friend just managed to rm -rf /boot (dont ask!) , ive managed to setup grub,but how do i auto-generate the menu.lst anf the intrids? [17:26] wget [17:26] anyway, my dl speed just starts to drop [17:26] lunaphyte__: Okey. but try vim.tiny that one should be installed [17:26] IDK why [17:27] renagadex have u turned pipelining on in FF? [17:27] renagadex, i got 24 MB/s and it drops to 945kb/sec also [17:27] lunaphyte__: If you know other editor program installed you can use that [17:27] Kjell: hmm, doesn't look like it. same message "not found" [17:27] renagadex the download speed rely on more than just ur connection spped [17:27] Kjell: 'nano'? :) [17:27] cyberghoser1, good god do you really? [17:27] renagadex, yep [17:27] renagadex speeds and speed* [17:27] shadeslayer, update-grub should take care of that, but I've never been in your situation [17:27] Babajus: no this is what it should look like #Option "TwinView" "0" #Option "metamodes" "800x600_85_0 +0+0" then save it and restart X [17:27] Kjell: yeah, i tried a bunch - nano, vi, joe, ed, emacs, vim. no joy. [17:27] grawity: I am not sure what edit program a sever install installs by default [17:28] mickster04, So, what do I do? [17:28] balau: how do i run update grub on a specific partition? [17:28] mickster04, turn on pipelining? [17:28] hey can someone tell me if i got a bad iso or what downloaded live cd but just shows a bunch of errors when i start it i also have a serial ata dvd [17:28] i know nano is on there, but i don't believe any filesystems are even mounted, so it isn't accessible. [17:28] can somebody help me please? i have an package on my desktop but i cant install it. it says, no package found"..what i have to do [17:28] lunaphyte__: /usr/bin/nano? [17:28] renagadex, you cvan try a download manager to see if it does the same, try downthemall or freerapid [17:28] in FF type "aout:config" in the address bar, > search for pipelining then put them both on true [17:28] grawity: no luck. [17:29] cyberghoser1, what are those and where can I get them? [17:29] after restart I can't seem to be able to mount a partition, which is using lvm any ideas? [17:29] renagadex in FF type "aout:config" in the address bar, > search for pipelining then put them both on true === ddoom is now known as ddoom_ [17:29] renagadex, downthemall is a FF plugin, freerapid google it it uses java [17:29] ok [17:29] renagadex in FF type "about:config"*** in the address bar, > search for pipelining then put them both on true [17:29] which or both? [17:29] shadeslayer, IDK I can't see any options for that... [17:29] renagadex i had both on true [17:30] mickster04, lol, no not pipelining [17:30] renagadex it might help, but like i say, downloads speeds is dependant on AT LEAST both parties [17:30] hey can someone tell me if i got a bad iso or what downloaded live cd but just shows a bunch of errors when i start it i also have a serial ata dvd [17:30] cyberghoser1, should I use both? [17:30] ctmjr: sorry didnt understood :) [17:30] mickster04: did you spk to your ISP about this [17:31] hemanth ?? what? [17:31] renagadex, use downthemall first to see [17:31] hemanth about what rather [17:31] everything else on the disc works but the live CD :( [17:31] mickster04: sorry was that you who was having low dl speed [17:31] ok,my friend just managed to rm -rf /boot (dont ask!) , ive managed to setup grub,but how do i auto-generate the menu.lst anf the intrids? [17:31] seahunter72, when u start from the cd/dvd live of ubuntu you can choose at boot to check the disc for defects [17:32] *and [17:32] hemanth nope [17:32] I installed sound juicer to attempt to rip a CD but then realised I didn't need it - Now whenever I select the CD drive from the Places menu it seems as though it's trying to execute sound-juicer instead of nautilus - How can I change that? [17:32] install programm? somebody knows how does it work? [17:32] mickster04: its renagadex [17:32] is this the best channel to ask about apache configuration on Ubuntu in? [17:33] nostradamus define the problem more clearly? [17:33] I enabled piplining, the DL speed shot up, and then tanked to 226 [17:33] and now its going up [17:33] my issue seems to be more Ubuntu-specific. I would like to specify an alternate configuration file, and I'm trying to find the best way to do that. [17:33] wow [17:33] Babajus: ok my fault in the xorg.conf file find the lines that say Option Twinview and Option metamodes and put this # in front of the Option so it looks like this #Option [17:33] lunaphyte__: Then you need to do cat grep and sed to replace a line [17:33] Its a rollercoaster [17:33] iamslango: if specifically Ubuntu, more than likely [17:33] if more towards Apache, find their IRC [17:33] is there something wrong with mysql-server on 9.04 main repo? [17:34] ok, i have tar.gz on my desktop and i want to install it. i am running on crunchbang [17:34] ok,im going to try restoring the windows boot manager and try using it to boot ubuntu [17:34] mysql keeps crashing with segfault [17:34] renagadex well if ur sender is fast and the bit inbetween is also good..then ur fine [17:34] ah, it's definitely an lvm issue. when i do lvm vgchange -ay, it says "warning: physical volume /dev/sda2 is too large for underlying device" [17:34] ctmjr: #Option "TwinView" "0" that way? [17:34] Kjell: i can't get to that file though - it's on the filesystem that i can't mount, isn't it? [17:34] iamslango: apache2.conf in /etc/apache2 calls "Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf" so you can add things in there if oyu know what you want to add... [17:34] iamslango: http://www.h3manth.com/2008/11/java-cgi-tomcat-apache-php-msql-on.html [17:34] Babajus: yes and the same for meta mode [17:35] nostradamus oh, erm i thought a tar.gz wasnt an install file, i thought it was a compressed file? have u tried opening it? [17:35] ct then save and restart? :D [17:35] ctmjr: * [17:35] Babajus: yes [17:35] nostradamus1971, from a terminal "tar zxvf FILE.tar.gz" will extract the file to your desktop - then look for a README/Install instructions - but usually it's "./configure" "make" "make install" as three separate commands. Good luck. [17:35] mickster04, sure, it is also open on my desktop [17:35] what can I use to generate an ASCII passphrase in the terminal? [17:36] nostradamus1971, the last one should be "sudo make install" sorry [17:36] nostradamus well is the installer not in there? [17:36] ZykoticK9, it is open on my desktop. do i have change my directory with cd to desktop=? and then "make" ? [17:36] nostradamus1971 well is the installer not in there? [17:36] ctmjr: do you use nvidia card? [17:37] gartral your brain? :P [17:37] mickster04, let me see [17:37] mickster04: I need 300 48 char passphrases... [17:37] +i [17:37] nostradamus1971, i have no idea what is inside your .tar.gz file! but it would be "cd Desktop" notice the upper case D [17:37] legend2440: yes after many failed attempts with ati [17:37] mickster04, no [17:38] ZykoticK9, ok, thanks [17:38] lunaphyte__: you can mount it? [17:38] can anyone pastebin the output of ls /boot please :) [17:38] gartral oh lol:D [17:38] ctmjr: lol i had to switch from ati to nvidia because amd stopped supporting my radeon 9600 and tv out stopped working [17:38] ctmjr: didnt work [17:38] Kjell: i've managed to mount my /boot partition. i can now cat menu.lst [17:38] still 800x600 after restart [17:39] i still can't mount my root partition, though, which is i think my real problem [17:39] cyberghoser1, Terminal -- apt-get runs at 1454kB/s [17:39] nostradamus1971 hmm mayb there is the exdcutable program in there an u just run it, i.e not instalation? are there no installation instructions at place of origin? === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo [17:39] renagadex, is that ok for you? [17:39] cyberghoser1, steady, doesnt chang [17:39] cyberghoser1, Higher is always better [17:40] renagadex, maybe its normal, i told you i have high connection but downloads stuck at 945-1mb/sec [17:40] Babajus: i too have a Dell monitor and my refresh rates are HorizSync 30.0 - 107.0 [17:40] VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 yours are # [17:40] HorizSync 30.0 - 69.0 [17:40] # [17:40] VertRefresh 48.0 - 120.0 that may be a problem [17:40] legend2440: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:40] mickster04, E: Couldn't find package framework- [17:40] mickster04, always the same [17:40] cyberghoser1, 945kb - 1mb a sec? [17:40] mickster04: any furthuer ideas? [17:40] legend2440: maybe :) but in that particular resolution it max me out 85 :) [17:40] lunaphyte__: good! can you cat menu.lst | grep 2.6.28-11 [17:41] gartral, sorry no, other than a legion of paid chinese?

[17:41] nostradamus1971: question 1 - what are you trying to install? [17:41] legend2440: so should i fix it like youres? [17:41] nostradamus1971 what is it and where did u get it [17:42] hello chaps. i ran into this article http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2009/01/untitled.html and i'm wondering, is this feature included in 9.04?

[17:43] Mindblighter, yes 9.04 has the new volume control [17:43] Babajus: not sure changing refresh rates can damage monitor if they are not right. what kind of monitor is it? flatscreen? or old crt type? [17:43] ZykoticK9 does enabling it require something special? [17:43] old crt type [17:43] Babajus: yeah mine is too [17:43] Mindblighter, nope it's there by default [17:44] can someone help me with the connection manager thing please [17:44] mickster04, framework [17:44] dave, maybbe whats your problem?

I can't find the setting you are referring to though. [18:20] mickster04: 1) How do I right-click the panel rather than an individual icon? 2) What's wrong with apoc? [18:20] mickster04: How do I get to the settings manager [18:21] apoc_ noo i meant use other ppls nicks, they usually get highlighted to them, anyway find an empty space on ur panel or make some [18:21] kseise_ sorry compiz settings? [18:22] mbd123 its called compiz fusion, look in synaptics package manager [18:22] mickster04: Ok. Then the question is, how do I make space. Clicking and dragging something does nothing [18:22] it's the netbook remix if that matters [18:22] apoc_ right-click, move then just move your mouse, click when ur done [18:22] moin moin [18:22] or make a new panel then drag it acros when youve rought it up] [18:22] mickster04 - yes, but there are no specific settings for window borders. I am using caam and compiz setings manager [18:23] hi!! ctrl+c/v doesn`t work! on live cd and in real ubuntu! [18:23] kseise_ or make a new panel then drag it acros when youve rought it up] [18:23] Anyone here using Eeebuntu? [18:23] kseise_ there are some where , try window decorations [18:23] mickster04 - Hiting F1 for fullscreen and then toggling it back off works to restore the borders. [18:24] sillyCEO i will be at some point soon :p [18:24] mickster04 - Sorry, that was F11 [18:24] kseise ok, is that solution ok for you? [18:24] mickster04: Ah finally. Only the volume control has Move, and i had to uncheck lock to panel first [18:24] mickster04: I love it so far. [18:24] sillyCEO yeah i have a few issue with the uuntu nbr as this is an asus 900 [18:24] apoc_ ok [18:25] But I don't know how to see all the things I am currently running (like the task manager of windows) [18:25] apoc_ what did you want to do again? [18:25] evenin' all [18:25] Evenin' [18:25] wildc4rd: hi [18:25] sillyCEO what laptop u using? [18:25] mickster04: I don't see "compiz-fusion". I installed "fusion-icon [18:25] The Eee [18:25] " [18:25] MBD123, correct sorry [18:25] mickster04 - I see it under Window Decoration, but it is already set to decorate "any" windows. My solution works, but is frustrating. [18:26] sillyCEO the hot keys dont work? [18:26] ?? Umm.... [18:26] Maybe.... [18:26] kseise_, the F11 twice is documented in a post http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-831152.html - there is also something at the bottom of that post that might help you out. Good luck. [18:26] kseise_ hmm... i had this problem with an earlier ubuntu [18:26] hoacomay10111988 [18:26] Is there one for pulling up all apps running? [18:26] kseise_ are u using a special teme [18:26] mickster04: Add a cpu usage monitor [18:26] mickster04: Shouldn't the tray settings be under Preferences somewhere too? [18:26] ctmjr: still the same [18:27] sillyCEO what do u mean? [18:27] apoc_ system monitor [18:27] I'm trying to pull up something that resembles 'task manager'- somthing to show me what's running. [18:27] apoc_ but yes sumat like that [18:27] mickster04 - Yes, and I am on Hardy [18:27] not sure what 'hotkey' would do that.

[18:32] !yahoo | clau [18:32] clau: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps.

[18:33] clau: yahoo is currently experiencing problems :) [18:33] sillyCEO, System / Preferences / Startup Application - then ADD firefox. Easier then a script that's for sure. [18:33] Babajus: yes it should say driver "nvidia" [18:33] ZykoticK9 - It didn't help, but mickster04 might be on to something with the themes. I will keep playing around [18:33] mickster04: Wow, you're batting 2 for 2!

[18:38] Babajus: the coobits you do not really need yet it is to overclock the gpu [18:38] mickster04, my solution for NBR being slow/laggy on my EEE 701 was to use "gconf-editor" / "apps > netbook-launcher" and check "force low graphics" -- just an FYI [18:38] shadeslayer: how can I unlock it? [18:38] apoc_ altho that would be off topic :P [18:39] mickster04: It was years ago now. I liked it actually.

[20:28] perhaps I should clarify. the box is still running and I am not installing Windows. [20:28] DasIe1: I see.

[20:34] Babajus: Did you go to System/Preferences/Display and select the resolution from there? (apologies if I'm recovering ground here) [20:35] mun_: Because su uses the root password, and by default, the root account is locked [20:35] !root | mun_ [20:35] mun_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:35] I figure if 8.10 is running Ok, why up grade? [20:35] repost : why doesn't flash / niether youtube controls work with firefox [20:35] !sudo | mun_ [20:35] mun_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[20:36] legend2440: okt [20:36] mun_: you original question was " how do i set the password for su?": the password for sudo is your own one [20:36] fenn-:I gtg now, check you /boot for packagename(s), then sudo apt-get --reinstall [20:36] is there any way to read the memory a program is using [20:36] brookshire1: i asked what video card because my ati card stopped working after upgrade i had to switch to nvidia [20:37] cached: top?

[20:39] supreme: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic support/discussion/etc, thanks [20:39] ok, thanks [20:39] pronoy: you could interrupt it, but that might break your paketmanagement in a hard to say way [20:39] Oh, I've got an Nvidia card for sure, that's why I had to switch to Ubuntu. Have any of you guys ever heard of the nvlddmkm.sys BSOD problem? [20:39] mobi-sheep, no i didn't. but i did try running Xvfb as root. [20:39] mobi-sheep, mun: that happens sometimes when you use sudo to run some graphical programs, yes, fix the permissions. [20:39] pronoy: i think it is possible at all to freeze commands, but i dont have the slightest idea how [20:40] mun: you can get that by running GUI apps (such as gedit,...) with sudo instead of gksudo [20:40] elo evry1 [20:40] mobi-sheep, basically my problem is that after running Xvfb, i cannot open any app at all unless i open them as root. [20:40] When you first install Ubuntu, do you need to set up a new .bash_profile? [20:40] Hi, I had a problem with my mouse last nite! It stoped moving...

[20:40] DasEi1 masquerade: yeah the man page doesn't show any option like that either...thanks anyways [20:40] Babajus: ok [20:40] lwells: no. But you can edit it [20:41] yep [20:41] I do not see the file under ~/ directory Kjeli [20:41] Kjell I mean [20:41] mun: "sudo chown mun:mun .Xauthority" --> Change mun with your actual username. [20:41] anyway, what's so great about 9.04? [20:41] Flannel, beside chown, should i chgrp too? [20:41] mobi-sheep, thanks [20:42] Kjell: I only see the .bashrc file [20:42] any one had some problem with a laptop mouse? [20:42] mun: you can chown to change both owner and group, actually. [20:42] Flannel, yeah didn't know that :) [20:42] Is it possible to change the size of a window through the terminal command while I am opening [20:43] brb [20:43] help with mouse! :P n__n please someone!!! [20:43] Kjell: I guess it is not .bash_profile, but .profile [20:43] is there a good, efficient music player for ubuntu? I don't need anything like album cover art slowing me down. I kinda miss winamp but that didn't seem to work well on Wine.

[22:08] other ubuntu pc here works fine [22:08] hello [22:08] lol too fast happy mandrig [22:08] rufuscure: I would say irssi is better, but some people prefer weechat [22:08] RED300: stay on topic [22:08] tritium : all done but not working [22:08] ok thats enough for me thanks there lstarnes [22:08] lstarnes: not really... was getting really annoyed though. [22:08] ok [22:08] rufuscure: in either case, I would run them in screen [22:08] Oh the irony... [22:08] ah ok xD [22:08] fkin proxy [22:08] i have made an iso file and converted it to cso and tryed man mount but it dont want to mount [22:08] hello [22:08] well im trying to get familiar with the ubuntu terminal to better learn linux in general [22:08] user1: did you install flashplugin-nonfree [22:08] rufuscure: so that you could close the termial and retach it on another terminal without closing it [22:08] ? [22:09] er, without closing the client [22:09] i'm trying to access a shared folder in windows xp from ubuntu, but it asks for a password; does anyone happen to know how to shun this? [22:09] I think MJ broke the internet [22:09] ok [22:09] most of my favorite sites are down today [22:10] helmethedd: I see, but there is one problem: I'm a bit too tired to figure that out :-(, sorry [22:10] guntbert: ah ok. any other suggestions you can think of? [22:10] can anyone here analyze this paste and tell me what's going on here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/205176/ [22:10] something i can look up on my own? [22:10] <_oOMOo_> twig11 is your computer doing a lot of i/o when this happens - have you tried running top in a terminal to see if the cpu is busy doing other stuff at the same time? Maybe a single process is hogging i/o? [22:11] topramen: what are you trying to do [22:11] i have made an iso file and converted it to cso and tryed man mount but it dont want to mount [22:11] user1: flashplugin-nonfree should work for you [22:11] patience is my middle name [22:11] _oOMOo_: I can try that [22:12] tritium : installed that also. i tried to remove firefox. although it removes it's still there!!!!!!!!! . there is something wrong [22:12] helmethedd: yes, of course: boot from a live CD, then you will have internet access *on* that machine and it will be a lot easier to get the necessary info from it [22:12] tritium: i will brb restart and see [22:12] topramen: that paste indicates you have not given the correct syntax for UFW in the first part, and then double tab'ed on the command line for the second part... [22:12] user1: restarts are unnecessary [22:12] ok so what did i do wrong ? [22:12] guntbert define live CD plz, is that the disc cannonical sent me? [22:13] topramen: not sure, what did you want to do right? [22:13] i have made an iso file and converted it to cso and tryed man mount but it dont want to mount [22:13] was that supposed to be a joke, i'm sort of slow, but there is no system - preferences - hardware info on my box. I'm running 8.10 [22:13] well the ubott told me to run the ufw command concerning my firewall [22:13] is there an updated version of Fslint? [22:13] Hi, I have a computer with ubuntu 7.10, is it possible to update to 9.04, without reinstalling? [22:13] _oOMOo_: I am running top right now, but I'm almost sure it isn't a problem with system resources. [22:14] helmethedd: when you boot off that CD: do get a menu like "install - run without changing my system - ..."? [22:14] And GTK orphan? [22:14] how easy is it to go back and try 8.10? [22:14] I have the install disc [22:14] <_oOMOo_> twig11 it's easy enough to try a live session... [22:14] hey guys [22:14] guntbert, yeah, its from the makers of ubuntu. [22:14] If you go to system administration, there are hardware driver and hardware testing [22:14] ld50: Yes. You could upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04 [22:14] _oOMOo_: true [22:15] <_oOMOo_> twig11 but a bit more work to dual boot both [22:15] can i install ubuntu from an external hard drive but not IN it, just FROM it? [22:15] mobi-sheep: thanks, i'll investigate [22:15] topramen: ufw is a command line version of firestarter, whats your problem with firestarter? [22:15] i run ubuntu on a p3 thinkpad should i bother upgrading to jaunty from 8.04 [22:15] topramen: what do you want to accomplish?

I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 desktop into a partition that starts about a TB in to a 1.5 TB drive. The FreeBSD boot loader sees the parition but won't start it. And grub-install fails to install, complaining that /boot is not a block device. Anybody know what's wrong, or how I should investigate? [22:15] ld50: Good luck! [22:15] ehe [22:16] Could it be that boot partitions need to start closer to the top of the drive? [22:16] i want to secure my firewall a lot better than it is...i believe i'm connected to mutiple servers when I connect as in someone connecting to my pc through my ISP when I connect [22:16] Hilikus: It is possible if you treat your external hard drive as USB. [22:16] helmethedd: they have several CDs, one called "alternate" and one called "desktop" or so, just boot from it, choose the option not to install anything and get going, then come back here and ask again for help [22:16] mobi-sheep i tried that using unetbootin but it doesn't recognize it as SUB === vorian is now known as hans [22:16] <_oOMOo_> twig11 it seems strange that it is sometimes ok for a while... it's like a process starts that causes it? [22:17] _oOMOo_: I'm logged into a Guest session right now. I'll see if the problem recurs. [22:17] hallo [22:17] topramen: sorry, that statement doesn't make sense, try to rephrase that [22:17] <_oOMOo_> ghoti grub install in the master boot record [22:17] Hilikus: How about USB Startup Disk Creator? Did you try that? [22:17] i have one question [22:17] mobi-sheep no, i'll look it up [22:17] Hilikus: Also, I don't know if you had seen this yet. [22:17] _oOMOo_, grub-install fails with a complaint that /boot is not a block device. [22:17] does anyone knoe if eeeubuntu has the abilty to expand avable space on the ssd by inserting a sdhc card [22:17] !usb | Hilikus [22:17] Hilikus: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [22:17] _oOMOo_: no, it doesn't seem to be related to any process that I know of. maybe there's something starting in the background though. [22:17] like xandros does [22:17] can anyone help me [22:18] well i think someone is in my pc more than me when I log on...but if you dont understand what i'm talking about then never mind I will figure it out.......does anyone have the latest kubuntu i386? [22:18] <_oOMOo_> ghoti /boot is not a block device [22:18] bahar: Ask the question already. [22:18] _oOMOo_, yes, I know... [22:18] <_oOMOo_> ghoti lol [22:18] But grub-install still makes that complant. [22:18] <_oOMOo_> ghoti you need to specify where to install it [22:18] hello [22:18] _oOMOo_, my command line was "grub-install /dev/sda" [22:19] ghoti grub-install /dev/sda [22:19] <_oOMOo_> ghoti oh ok [22:19] seems my question got lost on ppl .It is about epsxe help [22:19] oh whatever drive you like [22:19] i was installing somthing and the power tripped and i get E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) every time i use apt [22:19] _oOMOo_, would there be any weirdness because of this being a 1.5TB disk? [22:19] topramen: you can know who's in your pc by the command w [22:19] <_oOMOo_> ghoti not in my experience..

[22:25] topramen: you can get the security code from the router's web page [22:25] <_oOMOo_> ghoti did the install fail at the "Installing grub" part? [22:25] _oOMOo_, I boot FreeBSD at the moment. I can mount the ext2 filesystem in fbsd, I just can't boot from it. [22:25] JordanC: Really? That's odd. [22:25] _oOMOo_: my mouse is unresponsive about 7minutes into a guest session with my cpu at about 1-2%. Not a resource problem. I'll try a liveCD session in 8.10 and see if it does the same thing.

[22:28] lspci made everything jump up instantly [22:28] _oOMOo_, I'll try that now. Any idea whether I can get to a prompt where I can do that without first failing to install? It takes a while, and everything's already there. [22:28] Is it possible to point wine/crossover/cedega to run an already installed windows application on an ntfs partition? [22:28] <_oOMOo_> ghoti then when you get the grub prompt type find /boot/grub/stage1 [22:28] I haven't seen whether I can use the install CD as a live CD.

I've done wine configs and installs of apps on a linux partition before, but have never run them after being already installed on windows [22:29] hello [22:30] varun: hi [22:30] nutrapi: with a wine install its easy just click the exe [22:30] <_oOMOo_> ghoti which version of ubuntu were you trying to install? [22:30] HELP! what do i need to install to play media-files, java and flash in firefox? [22:30] thanks so I was wondering about the epsxe question anyone [22:30] nutrapi, the wine docs claim you should install apps in wine rather than trying to copy already-installed apps from a windows box. [22:30] JordanC: That happened to me too. I waited for awhile. [22:30] JordanC: Just don't cancel it. :) [22:30] just wondering is there anything i can do to solve the following--->my volume seems quiet low for video,browser etc but system error messages are way up above that [22:30] nutrapi: i suggest the winhq repo more compatbily [22:30] _oOMOo_, should the "Try Ubuntu" option get me a prompt where I can run grub? [22:31] <_oOMOo_> ghoti yes [22:31] ghoti: I don't want to copy, I actually would prefer just to leave them on the windows partition. I just want to run them in linux, from the windows partition [22:31] kinja-sheep: Oh, really? [22:31] _oOMOo_: I am getting a message during bootup: "MPBIOS Bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC" Is that significant? [22:31] <_oOMOo_> ghoti those live cds are a lifesaver [22:31] How long was the wait? I'm incredibly impatient :P [22:31] JordanC: Ya. Try it. ;3 [22:31] Hokie [22:31] JordanC: I don't know. I walked around. [22:32] nutrapi, that probably won't work. I've tried it too and given up. Windows apps have this bad habit of storing things in random locations, and you have to get all your mappings right to make that work. [22:32] <_oOMOo_> twig11 I don't think so, I get that too [22:32] Yeah, well I guess I'll go for a walk :D [22:32] ghoti: wine maps it auto if it sees windows [22:32] gogeta, that's great, but that's never happened for me. [22:32] I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes; Johnny came over with a script surprise. A mafioso story with a twist.. [22:32] Perhaps it's OS dependent. [22:32] ghoti: witch it will [22:32] ghoti: damn, my gf has the sims 3 installed on my laptop in windows, but i want to play it while i'm "working" in linux [22:32] where do i put files i want to see on localhost? [22:33] <_oOMOo_> twig11 what cpu are you using? [22:33] ghoti: some apps just dont work lol [22:33] nutrapi, I recommend you ask gogeta, because he seems to know more about wine than me. :) Note that I don't actually run wine in Linux, so I shouldn't be giving advice anyway. [22:34] _oOMOo_: Sticker says AMD 64 Athlon. Is that good enough? where do I go for more specifics? [22:34] nutrapi: in ubuntu wine installes once configured .exe files are set to launch in wine on a real drive or linux [22:34] nutrapi: easy as that [22:35] twig11: lspci or install hwinfo or lshw [22:35] gogeta: i'm going to try right now [22:35] nutrapi: i dont use cedega anymore real wines better there days [22:35] these [22:35] <_oOMOo_> twig11 I was only curious because in earlier versions of ubuntu my cpu would only load up one core. cat /proc/cpuinfo ...but that Athlon prob only has one core anyway [22:36] yep I'm sure it's single core [22:36] twig11 thats easy cpuinfo :) [22:36] Whoa! Ubuntu supports UFS2? Awesome! [22:36] tell you if its 32 or 64 [22:36] any ideas....ive check all sound settings and plyed around,lost sound,got it back but no change [22:36] gogeta: command not found [22:36] and all other details [22:37] <_oOMOo_> twig11 it's cat /proc/cpuinfo [22:37] hey i'm new to this command line business. [22:37] twig11, try Wiki Books ;) [22:38] less /proc/cpuinfo [22:38] <_oOMOo_> twig11 the kernel keeps files about process info in /proc [22:38] okay [22:38] <_oOMOo_> twig11 one of those files is named cpuinfo [22:38] just gave him the command [22:38] nice [22:38] <_oOMOo_> and cat just means spit out the file contents :) [22:38] where do i put files i want to see on localhost? [22:39] I see that [22:39] hey guys - I know this is not relevant to this channel. I am working on translating ubuntu to my mother tounge.

[22:42] cdavis: oh, my bad [22:42] hi ive got a terminal related question, how do i start a program in terminal (some sort of a paramater) so when i run it, i can still type commands into the same terminal window, for example, when i do gedit sample , i cant type any more commmands into the same terminal window until i close the editor, so how can i do that so i can still give commands to the same terminal window? [22:43] _oOMOo_, grub still can't find the file, though I can see it from the shell. [22:43] cdavis: I misunderstood [22:43] how do I know if it gave me writting rights? [22:43] ls -p? [22:43] mandrig_: no problem, do you know how to do it the other way around? [22:43] voodo, you can background a program you're running by appending "&" to the end of the command line. [22:43] cdavis: Google for examples --> DISPLAY=":0" [22:43] like gedit sample& ? [22:43] can anyone see my txt it seems to be grayed out when i type [22:43] voodo, you can also "suspend" in most shells by hitting Ctrl-Z. [22:43] kinja-sheep: thanks [22:43] cdavis: not off the top of my head, try the manual? man ssh [22:43] ghoti: how do you resume the programs? [22:43] thanks ghoti [22:44] cdavis: I'm trying to find it too at the moment. [22:44] it does the trick [22:44] Gh0styuk: we can see you [22:44] Gh0styuk: it's so your own text doesn't distract you in your ric progrma [22:44] Voodo--: & is thhe most effectev bascily it says you wanna run another command [22:44] Is there a way to stop "gnome-volume-control-settings" from appearing in the tray? Can I suppress the icon from loading? [22:44] *irc program [22:44] guptaxpn, shells have commands "fg", "bg" and "jobs". Check the man page under "Job control" or somesuch. [22:44] What shell? [22:44] thanks ghoti , Im' using bash [22:44] <_oOMOo_> ghoti did the install get to its "Looking for other oses"bit? [22:45] Voodo--: you can also launch multi apps using that app1 && app2 [22:45] kinja-sheep: By gosh, man, it's working [22:45] i have a problem with my second xserver, it has no audio, i hear the audio of the second xserver on the desktop -.- [22:45] !cookie | JordanC [22:45] JordanC: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [22:45] -_- [22:45] should i do the & thingy after , or before the parameters? [22:45] guptaxpn and voodoo, do check "man bash" and search for "JOB CONTROL" (upper case) [22:45] cdavis: it looks like -x (lowecase) will disable X-Forwarding... maybe try that? [22:45] after [22:45] JordanC: Here you go. Easier than compiling. ;) [22:45] kinja-sheep: Lies [22:45] app1 & [22:45] mandrig_: You wanted ssh -Y, I think. [22:45] thanks for the help [22:45] working :) [22:46] thanks ghoti [22:46] * JordanC dances [22:46] was just annoying to continously do alt f2 [22:46] irssi get's fucked up when you use ctrl-z [22:46] it just messes up the entire display [22:46] I haev to reset now [22:46] kinja-sheep: -Y enables trusted X11 forwarding. [22:46] <_oOMOo_> ghoti karmic uses grub 2 by default... [22:46] UGH [22:46] Hi, I'm having 2 monitors set up, with separate X screens, can I have the mouse stick between screens? [22:46] kinja-sheep: I think "DISPLAY=:0 thunderbird" seems to work [22:46] or just /redraw! yay [22:46] kinja-sheep: thanks for pointing me in the right direction [22:46] !language | guptaxpn [22:46] guptaxpn: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:46] _oOMOo_, running grub itself gave no errors, but /dev/sda* isn't visible from inside the chroot. [22:47] Voodo--: its hreat for apt get heh eg apt-update && apt-get install [22:47] :) [22:47] _oOMOo_: I finally found my 8.10 liveCD. I'm booting from it now, and I'll see if I get the same problem. thanks for the suggestion. [22:47] * JordanC smokes a | [22:47] cdavis: You found it? [22:47] nah, i had this problem for conky [22:47] _oOMOo_, and no, I saw no mention of "other OSs". [22:47] cdavis: Oh yeah. That's it. :0) [22:47] I just got a VPS set up with Ubuntu on it and I'm going to try to install webmin... however, when I try to apt-get libauthen-pam-perl, it says there are no sources available. I found http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libauthen-pam-perl but I'm not sure what this universe repository is or how to add it to my apt-get repositories. Can anyone help? [22:47] and gedit [22:47] hi guys google is not my friend today i can not find anything on how to mount cso fiel i have tryed man mount but stuill am int he dark anyone got an words of wisdom out there [22:47] <_oOMOo_> twig11 no worries [22:47] rather then typing and wating [22:48] && launches them in order when 1 finishes it goes to the next [22:48] cant i run them same time? [22:48] JordanC: So the problem wasn't the server. Damn your impure impatience. [22:48] kinja-sheep: Now it's time to test it out ;o [22:48] yea with & you backround them freeing the term [22:48] I am not impure, I am just im-imperfect :P [22:48] gogeta, chaining command success with && is an example of shell optimization. && means AND, just as || means OR. [22:49] gogeta, you can also do things on failure by chaining with ||. [22:49] <_oOMOo_> ghoti is it a single drive? [22:49] ghoti: nice [22:49] _oOMOo_, yes, single drive. [22:49] <_oOMOo_> so when you're in grub in the chroot and you type find /boot/grub/stage1 [22:50] <_oOMOo_> ghoti does it fail to find it? [22:50] gogeta: for example: # ./some-command || date | Mail -s failed you@example.com [22:50] JordanC: im-imperfect is perfect? :O [22:50] _oOMOo_, inside the chroot, /dev/sda* does not exist. [22:50] !perfect [22:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about perfect [22:51] ghoti: heh you learn something every day i knew of backround and and didnt knoe you could use or [22:51] _oOMOo_: Oh but I do have worries. "Loading, please wait..." then "BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu6) built-in shell (ash)" next line "Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands." next line "(intramfs)" followed by a cursor.

[22:52] _oOMOo_: so what do I do next? === MakX_ is now known as MakX [22:53] <_oOMOo_> ghoti so to summarise, from a live cd when you type grub followed by find /boot/grub/stage1 you get not found?

[22:54] _oOMOo_: I just hit F12 and selected install from cd drive. === liam is now known as baddog [22:54] maybe it isn't. [22:55] I've had it awhile. [22:55] <_oOMOo_> twig11 you only want to boot into a live session really... [22:55] right [22:55] _oOMOo_, from within grub, find returns "Error 15: File not found". From the livecd, /boot/grub/stage1 does not exist, but /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 does. [22:55] hello guys [22:55] so I don't want to install wubi [22:55] OK, I see the package I need at http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/perl/libauthen-pam-perl ... does that mean I add "deb http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid intrepid main universe" to my /etc/apt/sources.list? Because that doesn't seem to work, it still doesn't find libauthen-pam-perl when I try to apt-get install ... [22:55] _oOMOo_, And /mnt is where I mounted /dev/sda2 [22:56] twig11: Did you ran md5sum before you burn the Ubuntu-Live-Desktop.iso ? [22:56] <_oOMOo_> twig11 no I think if you can just run a live session for a while [22:56] does anyone here know how to tweak a router from the linksys site? [22:56] kinja-sheep: I don't remember [22:56] topramen: What are you trying to do? [22:56] :( [22:57] twig11: I guess not. Why don't you download a new Ubuntu Jaunty iso? Your hardware supports 64bit?

[22:58] kinja-sheep: my original problem is that 9.04 gives me mouse freezes every time within about 15 minutes of login. [22:58] <_oOMOo_> ghoti I think I found some info to assist [22:58] Anybody ever tried an Nvidia ION based board with Linux?

I get the startup splash screen with the oscillating progress bar and then the BusyBox message and command line prompt. [23:00] kinja-sheep: usb mouse, yes [23:01] _oOMOo_, it's possible for me to mount udev onto multiple points on the filesystem? [23:01] kinja-sheep: last time I tried something without knowing what I was doing, I had to cut the power to the laptop [23:01] <_oOMOo_> ghoti sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/YOURSDA/proc [23:01] * ghoti reads `man udev` [23:01] what does that mean...?...OH!..yeah....the reason I was asking was because twig11: lol wifi died when i was telling you how to use text [23:01] <_oOMOo_> ghoti lol [23:01] !mp3 [23:01] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:01] Royall_: You can try something -- and if you don't get any display, just wait 15 seconds and it'll resort back to the last choice.

[23:02] _oOMOo_, okay, procfs is mounted. How do I get /dev ? [23:02] twig11: some weard glitch swith 9.04 wifi randomly dies not so bad in eeebuntu but still does it [23:02] glitch [23:02] topramen: I'm sorry but I don't have time to explain. You seem a bit under qualified to do whatever it is you're trying to do at the moment and I am in a rush. [23:02] Ok, I found out what it does; next issue [23:02] <_oOMOo_> ghoti sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/YOURSDA2/dev [23:03] <<<ok well carry on then.... [23:03] AH, that makes sense.

It's working now :) [23:04] _oOMOo_, I have an alternative, which is to install a second physical drive in the system and install ubuntu onto that. [23:04] <_oOMOo_> hmm [23:04] trouble emptying evolution trash; help? [23:04] mezquitale: synptic can do this for you and find the fasstest [23:04] <_oOMOo_> ghoti so when you run just grub [23:05] It's not like I'm running out of SATA ports... [23:05] JordanC: <3 [23:05] >_> [23:05] :-D [23:05] _oOMOo_, when I just run grub, it gives the "Probing devices..." line, and no other status.

[23:06] gogeta , can you install software via a command prompt using synaptic, as in "sudo synaptic install [software package]" === niceburrito920_ is now known as meanburrito920_ [23:06] _oOMOo_, it gives me a prompt almost immediately. I have very little in this system -- it's a new i7 with just 1 drive. [23:06] How do I sync music onto mp3 players with linux? [23:06] << anyone know a good irc that can list xdcc as well? [23:06] SyphonSilent, try amarok [23:06] _oOMOo_, does it probe in the background? If so, I'm not being patient enough. If the probe stalls my prompt, then it goes very quickly indeed. [23:07] <_oOMOo_> ghoti ah ok, then I'm fresh out of ideas. Maybe the install just botched the install before creating a useful stage 1 [23:07] I dont know how to use it mezquitale [23:07] rsiripan: None that are like those with mIRC, but XDCC is very rarely used for legal stuff :P [23:07] mezquitale: no but mirror changes done will affect apt [23:07] kinja-sheep: I don't "seem to have an nvidia X driver" [23:07] Just write a script for konversation [23:07] what Atheros driver is installed by default in 9.04? Madwifi or ath5k? [23:07] <_oOMOo_> ghoti no I don't think so. If you have a prompt the probing is over :) [23:07] _oOMOo_, well, thanks *loads* for your help anyway. I even learned a bit! :) [23:07] How / is it possible to change the screen resolution while you're in terminal mode (ctrl alt f1) [23:07] its a gui for apt [23:08] SyphonSilent, amarok was the easiest to use, when I had an mp3 player that is the one that I used, amarok can also work with iPods [23:08] Royall_: Check and see if you already enable or if anything is in --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers? [23:08] <_oOMOo_> ghoti thank you, so did I [23:08] rufuscure, others probably know more than me, but at least a few years ago on another distro I was told that it wasn't possible. [23:08] Royall_: System --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers* [23:08] gogeta, ok thanks, i will try using synaptic from now on instead of apt-get [23:08] kinja-sheep: yep, they're all enables [23:08] mezquitale: meaning once you change mirrors you can go back to apt and all should be good [23:08] kinja-sheep: and there's only the wireless card there, no graphics drivers [23:08] !mirrors [23:08] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Jaunty, and help keeping the servers' load low! [23:08] * ghoti runs off to canibalize an older workstation [23:09] Royall_: Hmm. What choices do you have? [23:09] mezquitale: i prefer apt myself its just a easy to change mirrors using the gui [23:09] ah okay, I just ask because the txt is so big [23:09] kinja-sheep: what choices? In hardware drivers? Just Broadcom wireless card [23:09] Royall_: I mean... in Display. [23:09] <_oOMOo_> ghoti you did do sudo grub? [23:10] : [23:10] kinja-sheep: I have a Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, for future reference; In Display, I have my laptop monitor and my Sanyo TV [23:11] gogeta, how can set my machine to use the mirrors?? [23:11] Royall_: ALT+F2 and run "nvidia-settings" -- Did anything show up? [23:11] mezquitale: go to settings repo you should see ubuntu us you can change it to main or slect other and tell it find fastest. [23:11] kinja-sheep: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " [23:11] And then a settings window [23:11] using mozilla, why do i need to re-enter my password and username for sites? [23:11] With some limited settings [23:12] On the Skype website there's a version of Skype for Ubuntu 7.04-8.04. Would this work on 9.04 [23:12] But, I used to be able to use these settings [23:12] Royall_: Is that settings window "NVIDIA X Server" something? [23:12] Maybe in 8.10 [23:12] MBD123: i think medibuntu has skype [23:12] Yes [23:12] It is that [23:12] Royall_: Look under X Server Display Configuration and try enabling TwinView -- Also, what graphic card do you have? [23:13] There is no Display configuration section [23:13] using mozilla, why do i need to re-enter my password and username for sites? [23:13] I'm not sure how to figure out what graphics card I have [23:13] krammer_: unless you save them, thats what you have to do [23:13] krammer_: Because there are no cookies (history) of your site browsing. [23:13] Royall_, lspci | grep -i vga [23:13] Anyone knows how to copy and past in irssi? [23:14] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [23:14] i had it config to don remeber history [23:14] kl, the way you do in your terminal ? [23:14] kl: ctrl + shift + v or c [23:14] krammer_: That's your problem. :) [23:14] mandrig, except that's not universal. [23:14] Royall_: Did you find TwinView and try that? [23:14] No [23:15] unop: he asked for irssi [23:15] unop, mandrig: It does not work. Even shift + insert does not [23:15] Hello there, I need some assistance with squid and dns. Is there anyone prepared to assist me please? [23:15] Thank you! [23:15] The nvidia settings are not accessable because it says I do not have an nvidia driver [23:15] hy [23:15] kl, what are you using as your terminal? [23:15] Royall_: Ah I see. [23:15] mandrig, irssi is just something that runs in a terminal-emulator - it's the terminal emulator that controls this [23:15] how can i deliver a struct by call by reference in c++? [23:15] mandrig: gnome-terminal [23:15] unop: yeah, my bad... long night last night, haha [23:15] chris__: This is not the place for it. [23:16] kl: i thought that was how you copied and pasted in gnome-terminal [23:16] thanks have fun all [23:16] kl, usually, simply selecting the text should copy the text to the x selection .. to paste, use a middle-click [23:16] mandrig: It is but somehow it does not work on irssi. It works in weechat though [23:17] kinja-sheep, in c++ channel nobody helps me [23:17] Royall_: Work with what you have. I have Nvidia Graphic Card so I don't know how you would deal with your situation. [23:18] unop: That for some reason works [23:18] who is the cleverest guy here? [23:18] 00:18 < kl> unop: That for some reason works [23:18] kl, it's likely that irssi has something mapped for the ctrl+shift+[cv] bindings [23:19] kl, .. and that your terminal-emulator doesn't get a chance to recieve them [23:19] kl, the select and middle click thing works universally tho - in any X application [23:19] unop: perhaps [23:20] unop: yea it works but so inconvenient sometimes [23:20] The dual monitors don't seem to play nice with mutilple workspaces [23:20] Hello guys! [23:20] Anyone with NetworkManager experience here? [23:20] Royall_: as long as they bully windows [23:20] llol [23:21] off topic? [23:21] mbd123 hows things? [23:21] !ask Seveas [23:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask Seveas [23:21] lol [23:21] !ask [23:21] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:22] Hello, I have squid working perfectly for workstations. But when trying to ping google.com for example from another ubuntu server, it resolves the IP address but then says: Destination Host Unreachable. [23:22] whats the off topic channel name [23:22] !offtopic [23:22] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:23] gogeta: if you want to have the bot respond to a person use the |, so !ask | sveinse [23:23] they changed it [23:23] lol [23:23] rayno_b, as far as i can remember, by default squid does proxying for web-browsing only .. so if your gateway doesn't allow ICMP traffic outwards, you won't be able to ping anything outside of your network [23:24] sorry connection went, if you wrote to me i didnt get it [23:24] So, I decided to buy one of the dell laptops with ubuntu pre-installed.. Seems to be missing a few features, such as find best [23:24] sever* [23:25] I'm an a laptop with wlan, and I want to configure my eth0 for a local network. For convenience I wanted to use NetworkManager. When I add a wired connection with manual IP setting, I have to specify a gateway for that network. And when it's activated it comes on top of my route list, which wrecks my internet connection (via. WLAN) [23:25] mickster04: still nothing. I have tried every suggested thing [23:25] Bob_Dole: ubuntu dell edtion is not the same as the one from the ubuntu website they took stuff out [23:25] unop - you seem to be 100% correct. if I can't ping correctly, how do I get my mail ubuntu server to resolve dns queries correctly? At the moment I get DNS is unavailable in my mail server's log. [23:26] joining [23:26] hey [23:26] gogeta, ah. Well, that sucks, I'm only getting 20kb/s out of the mirror it chooses, but I can get 300KB/s from direct downloads from other places [23:26] rayno_b, you might need to allow DNS lookups (dest port UDP 53) to traverse your router too then - if they're currently disabled. [23:27] unop, can you help me set that up? I'm not 100% sure how. [23:27] Bob_Dole: change ir using snaptic [23:27] ir [23:27] it [23:27] rayno_b, can you resolve any random host from your mail server. e.g. google.co.nz perhaps? [23:27] arg [23:27] gogeta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:27] !info netselect-apt [23:27] Package netselect-apt does not exist in jaunty [23:27] !info netselect [23:27] Package netselect does not exist in jaunty [23:27] bah [23:27] I can't seem to be able to tell NetworkManager that I don't want a route for a particular network!

[23:28] 9.04 doesn't [23:28] What the hell :/ [23:29] Nobody here using local networks without routing it seems.... [23:29] rayno_b, well, are you doing this on the machine that is also the mail server? [23:29] Hello, is there like a maximum value I'm allowed to set for local-ttl option for dnsmasq? [23:29] unop, yes. [23:30] sveinse, what you need to do is give the route for your wired connection a _higher_ metric .. that way it is not a preferred route [23:30] JordanC: ati droped many legicy cards in however the standerd xorg drivers support 3d on many od cards [23:30] old [23:30] !ati | JordanC ookie [23:30] JordanC ookie: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:30] rayno_b, strange - maybe I ought to have a look at the exact error message your mail server is throwing.

[23:34] mezquitale: why did they disbale it in the firstplace [23:34] unop: Hence i need eth0 to 10.0.0.10/24,and wlan to whatever DHCP gives me, lets say 192.168.0.10/24... The router table should then be routing 10.0.0.0/24 to eth0, 129.168.0.0/24 to wl0 and 0.0.0.0 to wl0. But for some reason NetworkManager set the DF GW to eth0... [23:34] unop - yes it is. for example, I get do apt-get installs without problems. [23:35] gogeta, apparently a lot of brilliant programmers were losing their work after hitting Alt-Ctrl-Backspace "accidentally" [23:35] sveinse, you should have two default routes, do you?

[23:35] mezquitale: fine but why did they not restore it in the relse vver [23:35] unop: No. Because everything on eth0 is only the localnet. No need for default routes for that === mike_ is now known as Guest8995 [23:36] how can you hit that key combo accdently [23:36] sveinse, right, but network manager should do it anyway, it's standard behaviour [23:36] gogeta: Windows Users. === mickster04 is now known as Guest29022 [23:36] LOL [23:36] gogeta, i do not know, i am just as happy as you are for that change [23:37] mezquitale: at least you can undo it [23:37] rayno_b, can you resolve gmail.com on the mail server?

[23:48] QuakeLive: Ubuntu, for me, always breaks. Something goes wrong and even I cannot fix it. Last time it was wireless that mysteriously stopped every now and then. I tried to fix it by updating to a newer kernel and therefore driver... and X broke, nvidia drivers could never be reinstalled, weird stuff started happening. [23:49] [06:47p] is there a way to reinstall grub and let it detect everything from windows? when i boot into ubuntu it says Grub Error 17: Cannot Mount Selected Partition [23:49] Hilikus: well, I don't know. Maybe post your menu.lst and we'll see. [23:49] how come my monitor cant find the video signal to my computer. i can only se in low grapohics mode [23:49] mandrig: no, i already did that...

The host is now resolved by domino mailserver, but now it says - No route is known from this host to the destination address. [23:53] rayno_b, yea, the dns looks normal [23:53] question, what is the name of application that will change gtk font under qt? [23:53] rayno_b, so the machine that runs squid is your gateway too right? (and dns server from what you are telling me)? [23:53] kiah: What's your problem!?! [23:53] kiah: Maybe I can help. [23:54] unop, If I now telnet from the mail server to say gmail.com I get "Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host. [23:54] kinja-sheep: well I posted it twice, so, I didn't want to say it again. But, I can't install ubuntu-sound, because gos-sound [installed] would be overwritten [23:54] Do you think port 25 might be blocked on the squid proxy server? === root is now known as Guest29518 [23:54] anyone knows which software can I use to program Atmega32 microcontrollers in ubuntu?
