[00:02] if anyone else has problems w 2 monitors, separate x screens, some apps launched on second screen opening on first i found an answer here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+question/77380 its a glib2 issue [00:03] restricted driver [00:03] riccardo, any one of the following --> nvidia-glx-96 nvidia-glx-71 nvidia-glx-180 nvidia-glx-173 [00:03] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a3) [00:03] i did it but... [00:03] nothing happens [00:03] !nvidia | riccardo read the links [00:03] riccardo read the links: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:03] could someone say my name please? [00:04] wait [00:04] brb [00:06] i don't see prop drv in use [00:06] riccardo, have you read the links? tried any of the solutions offered so far? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [00:08] I'm sorry to sound so desperate, but I'm on the road right now (using my laptop battery and a tethered connect) on LiveCD and I'm trying to recover my backed-up GRUB so I can boot into Ubuntu. To do that, I need to mount my root partition, but I'm not sure how to do that. [00:09] wth! I forgot the command to fix this! "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)" [00:10] heelp [00:10] Dacvak: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/target ? [00:10] i need proprietary fìdrivers [00:10] GuidMorrow, do you have more than one instance of apt open? === root is now known as Guest82511 [00:10] edoceo: Is there more to that, or is that it? [00:10] in system administaration ther's nothing!!! [00:11] Dacvak, you have a live cd, you can reinstall grub, don't you want it? [00:11] riccardo__, we gave some solutions; what have you tried so far? reading the links? trying any of the drivers suggested? [00:11] Dacvak: depends on your system, could be /dev/sda2 or 3 or or 9 - try ls /dev/sd* to see which one it could be [00:11] And /mnt/target may not exist, may have to create first [00:11] kavurt: I actually backed up GRUB (dual-boot installed Windows 7) and have the command to replace it with the backup, but I don't know how exactly to do it. [00:12] edoceo: How can I find out which one it is? [00:13] mrgenericuser: that didnt work [00:13] IDK, it's something you should likely know about your system. fdisk or cfdisk or the like may be able to show you your partition types, then you could guesss [00:13] hi, what does it mean, when I get the following error message: [00:13] make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.28-14-generic/build: No such file or directory. [00:13] got "failed to initialize 2:00:0 or whatever it was [00:13] Types that are ext3 are generally a root partition (or one for /var if you did that, or /boot (but I make mine ext2) ) [00:13] hmmm...... [00:13] I guess its somehow related to the technical side of hybrid-sli [00:14] Dacvak, don't you have a grub installed already right now? [00:14] Vista is the Only OS that allows for hotswapping, but I would still think there was some way to specify Linux to only use the 9200m card [00:14] maybe, i don't know anyone running sli in linux.... [00:14] yeah, again.. this isnt SLI, this is hybrid-sli [00:14] and thats the problem [00:14] hehe [00:16] hmm here's a possible solution...how could i manage writing a wrapper that i can code to take a --class arg that will open my app inside it? [00:16] I left an ubuntu CD in my drive so that i can test it out live...left after rebooting my computer and came back after 30 mins and now my RAID is gone...any advice? [00:16] Doesn't sound like something Ubuntu will have caused, Fabiano [00:16] But i'm not sure. [00:17] theese are 5 month old Western Digital BC 5 yr warranty drives.... [00:17] how can I allow root login via SSH keys but not SSH password? [00:17] untouchable, googling, looks like hybrid sli might not be supported in nvidia linux drivers yet..... [00:18] Hey there. I'm having trouble with Skype calls -- when I do a test call and it asks me to record a message, my recorded message never plays back. What do I need to do to get my audio capture working? [00:18] and i have had experience in the past that shows ati/nvidia drivers may selectivly ignore parts of xorg.conf... [00:18] hello [00:19] Sup ppl === Sneaky-Jesus is now known as Epsis [00:19] ryanprior: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup [00:19] mrgenericuser: you are very correct in the fact that hybrid-sli isnt supported [00:19] Lunis: the latest xdotool can set the window class, but only for existing windows [00:19] but again, wikipedia just states that hotswapping isnt supported [00:19] but I havent managed to google up anyone who have actually managed to disable the 9400m card [00:20] Back. Reinstalled GRUB. Worked great. Final question: How do I get GRUB to allow me to choose whether or not to boot into windows or Ubuntu? [00:20] oh well, I think I will just have to let the issue pass for now.. [00:20] I got another one though.. === Shinobi is now known as Guest55716 [00:21] Whenever I open a fullscreen game, such as Battle for Wesnoth or something, my system tray applications (possibly all of my background apps, too?) terminate. Crunchbang 9.04, 2gb ram. [00:21] i need help installing the driver for a ralink dwl-g122 usbstick [00:21] when I connect my laptop to my LG 32" LCD TV through HDMI, the image is either overscaled or the resolution is way to low (only taking up a portion of the TV) [00:21] hbekel: that would work except that i really need it to happen before the window is mapped [00:22] Dacvak: grub gets its menu from the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. You ned to have a 'entry' in theer for the windows partitions you want to boot. [00:22] Dr_Willis: How can I do that? [00:23] Lunis: i'm not sure what you want to achieve, though, always maximized by default, and another script to launch it non-maximized? [00:23] I'm using vim latex-suite and when I press enter on an error in the quickfix window, nothing happens [00:23] i just install xp +ubuntu + suse..at last,i install suse then it take over ubuntu grub.how can i make suse boot handled by ubuntu? [00:23] Dacvak: theres an example entry near the top of the menu.lst file. if your windows install is on the first partition of the first hard drive it will work. Just uncomment it. [00:24] I'll try that. [00:24] Dacvak: the !fixgrub guides give more info also. [00:24] !fixgrub [00:24] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:24] hbekel: maximus will auto-maximize apps based on class. i want gnome-terminal auto-maxed, and it is, but i want to launch gnome-terminal via another launcher so as to keep it from being maximized by maximus. to do this i need to force it to have a window class that i can easily blacklist in maximus' config. ex: WM_CLASS of `no-max' === Inc`_ is now known as Inc` [00:26] Dr_Willis, I don't see any specific Windows boot option in that file. Any idea what to do? [00:26] Lunis: doesn't the gnome-terminal provide an option to set the name part of the class property? xterm and urxvt both support -n for that, and that's what i use for different settings in openbox [00:27] Dacvak: look again in the comments.. [00:27] hbekel: erm, i guess it never occurred to me that that could be a possibility [00:27] Dacvak: near the top of the file [00:27] how to add a folder to the $PATH in chroot? [00:27] hi. my blog isnt shown properly ( www.hacktivista.tk or http://89.7.172.18/ ) i think that something isnt redirecting properly; could someone help me to debug that? [00:27] I saw a generic boot option [00:27] Lunis: that's how it works in openbox, and with devilspie too afaik [00:27] Just "title Windows 95/98/NT/2000" [00:27] Will that work? [00:27] Dacvak: yes.. thats the example... [00:27] And I just uncomment that and it should work? [00:28] <^Soup^> hello [00:28] i just install xp +ubuntu + suse..at last,i install suse then it take over ubuntu grub.how can i make suse boot handled by ubuntu? [00:28] Dacvak: No.. thats ONE LINE of the 'entry' for the windows boot stuff.. Looka t the othe rentries.. you have to uncomment several Lines.. [00:28] Dacvak: you need to uncomment that line and a few others following it [00:28] Yeah, root, makeactive, chainloader [00:28] hbekel: well damn, you're right... --class. it just never occurred to me that could be the case. well, as long as i don't run in to this with any other apps, i'm good to go :) [00:28] <^Soup^> I'm having trouble finding information on implementing a custom booting screen (where the loading bar animates) [00:28] Dacvak: Makes sence? :) [00:29] But they're all very generic. Is that what it should look like? The Linux ones have uuid's and stuff. The Windows example doesn't have anytghing specific besides (hd0,0) === dvz- is now known as grammarNazi [00:29] <^Soup^> I have the animation rendered and composited, and i can format it to the required color dept and size [00:29] Dacvak: yes.. thats becuse it just hands the booting off to windows [00:29] Thanks man. Io' [00:29] <^Soup^> the main thing that's unclear is how many frames will the splash screen support ? [00:29] I'mm about to try [00:30] i have problem with ubuntu and suse.. [00:30] !details | Qu4R0w [00:30] Qu4R0w: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:30] i just install xp +ubuntu + suse..at last,i install suse then it take over ubuntu grub.how can i make suse boot handled by ubuntu? [00:30] Lunis: gnome programs usually provide the standard x -geometry option [00:30] Hmm. has anyone ever figured out what this 'add to shelf/shelf plugin' does in Gnome-do ? The docs are... well.. vague.. [00:31] Qu4R0w: you will have to manually edit the ubuntus menu.lst and add the proper entries for suse. [00:31] Qu4R0w: triple booting with suse hmm why? if you have enough RAM you can just virtual machine other distros :) [00:32] sebsebseb: i wont use virtual OS [00:32] Qu4R0w: why not? [00:32] Qu4R0w: time to learn to edit grub menu.lst then [00:32] exit [00:32] hbekel: i think maximus doesn't pay attention to geometry === Shinobi is now known as Guest23591 [00:32] Dr_Willis: but the default is suse appear 1st before ubuntu grub [00:33] Lunis: well, that's not well behaved for a wm imho === mac9416 is now known as macEats [00:33] Qu4R0w: you need to backup your grub menu.lst in ubuntu, and then after installing suse copy its menu.lst over (with a different name) and restore the ubuntu GRUB , and Edit the ubuntu menu.lst using the info from the suse menu.lst [00:33] Qu4R0w: dont expect it to be very automated. [00:33] hbekel: it's a WM-addon built for the netbook remix i think, and probably early in development [00:33] Qu4R0w: you could put the suse grub on the suse's partition and chainload it..if you wanted === Guest23591 is now known as llua [00:34] Qu4R0w: and i THINK if ubuntu is installed last. it Might see/add suse to the ubuntu grub menu [00:34] I upgraded to the 3.5 FF browser and flash will not work [00:34] any thoughts on how to solve this [00:34] Cerrdor: upgraded 'how' ? [00:34] synaptic [00:34] Lunis: never heard of maximus before, but the package desc says "Maximus is a window manager designed to run one application at a time full screen." [00:35] Cerrdor: you mean you installed firefox 3.5 then...? you should have 2 'firefox's now. 3.0 and 3.5 [00:35] afternoon all [00:35] Lunis: so in that case ignoring -geometry is the right thing to do [00:35] Dr_Willis: ubuntu installed first but it not add suse to ubuntu grub.i tried it. [00:35] hbekel: not a good description. i don't think it can actually manage windows o.o [00:35] hbekel: it runs alongside emerald [00:35] Qu4R0w: then you need to manyually add the proper entry for suse. [00:36] Qu4R0w: and if ubuntu was installed last - it might of addeded it.. theres also some other tools inthe repos that might find/add other disrtos but ive not tried them [00:36] that is correct [00:36] now how do I get flash to playt [00:36] <^Soup^> so can anybody point me towards the right direction for custom booting screen animations on Ubuntu 9 ? [00:36] <^Soup^> i want to import an animated sequence of files [00:37] ^Soup^, go to google and look at usplash [00:37] Lunis: i see, it's similar to devilspie it seems [00:37] <^Soup^> Cerrdor ok will do, thank you :) [00:37] Dr_Willis: i think i can configure it now..i take try 1st [00:37] Qu4R0w, copy the suse entry in suse menu.lst, and paste to ubuntu menu.lst and reinstall ubuntu grub [00:37] Hello [00:38] kavurt: tq kavurt,let me take try [00:38] any ideas why flash is not working? [00:38] anyone a powerpc user? [00:38] I belive there was some command that scanend the system for other OS's and it might of added them to the menu.lst - but i cant find the command now. [00:38] Cerrdor: flash on firefox? [00:39] Dr_Willis: grub-update [00:39] Qu4R0w, yes [00:39] Or "update-grub." I forget. [00:39] Wintervenom: that does not find newly installed OS's that uses the existing menu.lst last i tried it. [00:39] <^Soup^> BTW I got 9.04 running with maximum quality @ 1600 x 1200 in openGL mode. its liquid smooth, even on my older X1650 pro video card. not a single crash. [00:40] <^Soup^> Props to the ubuntu team [00:40] <^Soup^> I was blown away [00:40] Cerrdor: have u try apt-cache search pkgname? [00:40] ^Soup^, did you have issues with flash not working after upgrade to Jaunty? === aspire1 is now known as snypz [00:40] <^Soup^> yes [00:40] how did you solve it? [00:41] <^Soup^> I had to install an updated flash 10 plugin [00:41] Hmm. i just discovered the 'grub-choose-default' tool in synaptic. :) [00:41] HY does any one made the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 1.1.0 work on un [00:41] <^Soup^> for mozilla [00:41] HY does any one made the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 1.1.0 work on ubuntu? [00:41] <^Soup^> its much better. not perfect but its passable [00:41] I did that and now the screen comes up like a place for a video but nothing appears [00:41] ninjabox: I will have a go [00:42] <^Soup^> make sure you dont have 2 versions of flash plugins installed [00:43] yeah I uninstalled flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree and still it wont work [00:43] Cerrdor: u on jaunty? [00:43] hi [00:43] yes [00:44] funkyHat: awesome, want me to paste the output of like.. what happens when I try to run something from mplayer? [00:44] funkyHat: i'll pastebin it [00:44] any help to install flashplugin in 8.04.3 'hardy heron' ? [00:44] VilasBoas, 02:07.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) [00:44] !flash | EagleScreen [00:44] EagleScreen: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:45] When I make a Skype test call, the audio played back to me is a low bass thumping sound. Any idea what the cause for that could be? [00:45] VilasBoas, lspci and copy/paste the line with yours [00:45] what's XML's mimetype? [00:45] The audio streamed to me normally sounds fine, so I'm guessing it is my audip capture that's not working. [00:45] how can i add suse boot into ubuntu grub??i no longer can boot to suse.. [00:46] nanotube: these steps are not valid, it installs flash version 9 and there are a lot of pages that new ask for flash 10, as like as youtube [00:46] lunis text/xml [00:46] More generally, is there a way I can test audio capture to see whether this is a Skype problem? [00:46] mrgenericuser: thanks :) [00:46] Qu4R0w: look at the boot/grub/menu.lst on the suse install you juse need to see what sort of 'entry' it uses in that file for booting suse [00:46] EagleScreen: in that case... grab the latest flash tar.gz from adobe, extract from it "libflashplayer.so", and stick it into your ~/.mozilla/firefox directory. [00:46] Qu4R0w: you dont need to boot to suse. just mount its drive and look at teh file [00:47] Qu4R0w: you may want to copy the suse menu.lst to your /boot/grub/menu.lst_FROM_SUSE_FOR_AN_EXAMPLE file to make it easier to find later. :) [00:47] kitty_:http://paste.ubuntu.com/254282/ [00:48] Qu4R0w: and backup your esisting menu.lst just in case. [00:48] when I run Skype on the command line, I get lots of messages saying "ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:1569:(audioservice_expect) BT_GET_CAPABILITIES failed : Input/output error(5)" [00:48] that is strange because my computer does not have Bluetooth [00:48] so getting bluetooth capabilities should not be a problem [00:48] ok vilasboas what is your problem? [00:48] Bonsoir [00:49] i can't enable my wireless [00:49] nanotube: i have copied it and firefox continue asking for flash, I copied it to ~/.mozilla any more to do? [00:49] French ?

Cerrdor [00:50] yes === jay is now known as Guest27386 [00:51] does anyone know of a social-networking chart creator, or anything similar - for linking people together on a display, with 3 central sluts that fucked multiple people [00:51] What is the best way to automatically and redundantly make backups of my /home directory to a local hard drive? [00:51] owen1: .bashrc is in th eusers home dir. theres also other places the path can be defined. .profile or .bash_profile [00:51] zvonkorp, that is histerical LOL [00:51] <^Soup^> btw I made this today, and I want to implement it as a bootup/splash screen on my setup [00:52] <^Soup^> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBSRPWpYcaU [00:52] Kitty_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/254284/ [00:52] <^Soup^> comments appreciated!

When I run gnome-do in the terminal it outputs 'Thanks for Playing' right before it terminates. I have a hunch the problem has to do with openbox, but I'm not sure, can't back it up. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance! [00:52] <^Soup^> its an animated 3d logo of Ubuntu [00:52] Dr_Willis: thanks, where is eusers home dir? my /home is empty [00:52] Cerrdor: yes, ofcourse [00:52] <^Soup^> ... [00:52] owen1: i see path getting set in .profile [00:52] ^Soup^, #ubuntu-offtopic for that [00:52] EagleScreen, I am having the same issue in Jaunty [00:52] VilasBoas, ok that looks normal, now can you do a "iwlist eth1 scan" and see which networks are available, or do you have a specific network you want to connect to? [00:53] owen1: if your home is empty - then you got bigger issues then the PATH [00:53] enthdegree, #crunchbang [00:53] maybe its a firefox thing [00:53] <^Soup^> oh this is strictly tech support ? [00:53] yes [00:53] owen1: every user you make should have a dir in /home/ [00:53] <^Soup^> ok my bad :) [00:53] EagleScreen: sorry, i mean, ~/.mozilla/plugins directory. (create plugins dir if doesn't exist) [00:53] Dr_Willis: it's a chroot folder. got no users. [00:53] Cerrdor: jauntu has flash 10 packaged in jaunty-updates [00:53] EagleScreen: and restart firefox === macEats is now known as mac9416 === grammarNazi is now known as dvz- [00:53] Dr_Willis: chroot is a way to create an OS in a folder. [00:53] owen1: then look in the home directory on the drive. that may or may not be /home it might be somewherer else inthe path. [00:54] owen1: theres more to chroot then that. :) [00:54] What automatic (i.e. time-triggered) backup software is recommended for Ubuntu? [00:54] Dr_Willis: i have /home but it's emtpy..not sure how to addd stuff to PATH without it.. [00:54] owen1: you could just 'export PATH=$PATH:/new/path/to/add ' for a one time export [00:54] Kitty_: root@Mithus:/# iwlist eth1 scan [00:54] eth1 No scan results [00:54] TheMusicGuy: rsnapshot [00:54] Dr_Willis: ok. i'll try it [00:54] owen1: what are you even trying to do with all this chroot song and dance? [00:55] you may have to do it several times, mine doesn't respond till you give it the request the first time then it'll start polling the info [00:55] Dr_Willis: trying to test ruby 1.9 [00:55] <_MrsApple_> is it ok to download flash player with ubuntu? [00:55] owen1: err.. ok.. that sems a little over kill.. but have fun [00:55] nanotube: I can't back up my entire filesystem because my backup drive is smaller than my primary partition [00:55] ok i will restart my pc i get rigth back [00:56] no no no don't do that [00:56] Dr_Willis: i spent the weekend on trying to have 1.8 side by side with 1.9 ... PAIN [00:56] nanotube: I only have enough room to backup certain "critical directories" [00:57] nanotube, Cerrdor: it is still asking for flash player in youtube [00:57] EagleScreen: did you place libflashplayer.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins (where ~ means your home dir) [00:58] owen1: you are messing with chroot when you dident even know how to set teh PATH. thats ...err.. sort of like Swimming the english channel befor you can dogpaddle... [00:58] yes, nanotube, and restarted firefox [00:58] TheMusicGuy: you can tell rsnapshot exactly what directories to backup. [00:58] owen1: its very likely theres some easier way to have them both side by side.. But ive never messed with ruby. so good luck [00:58] Dr_Willis: thanks [00:59] owen1: i know i have several versions of python installed at the same time. [00:59] nanotube: oh. I thought it was only for snapshots of whole filesystems... [00:59] TheMusicGuy: see this brief rsnapshot tutorial, if you're curious: http://wiki.df.dreamhosters.com/wiki/Ubuntu_Chronicles_Intrepid#Backups [00:59] TheMusicGuy: no, it will take a snapshot of exactly what you tell it to, and no more :) [00:59] anyone knows how to install flashplugin 10 in 8.04 'hardy' ? [00:59] EagleScreen: hrm, weird... don't know why it didn't work...

[01:01] Dr_Willis: do u think i should do export PATH=$PATH:/var/chroot/opt/ruby19/ [01:01] ok VilasBoas you're back ? [01:01] owen1: when you 'chroot' your / changes to the dir you chrooted to.

[01:03] thanks platius [01:03] Dr_Willis: maybe a vm will be easier [01:03] owen1: one normally can 'chroot jail' a specific service. or chroots over to a installed system to run stuff [01:03] good that would have been a step but you can check that from your dmesg output [01:03] yw [01:03] owen1: just close the terminal window you chrooted in... [01:03] VilasBoas, can you do that iwlist eth1 scan ? [01:03] owen1: its not a perment thing.. its just for 1 shell [01:04] Dr_Willis: ? no, i think u'r confusing it with something else. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [01:04] Qu4R0w: first of all - add YOUR custom entrys to the end of that file.. past the ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST [01:04] kitty_: eth1 No scan results [01:04] line- or they WILL get overwritten [01:04] did you try it again after a few seconds?

[01:05] owen1: its also possible to 'chroot jail' specific services for security. [01:06] VilasBoas, did you try the command a second time after a few seconds? [01:06] Dr_Willis: my english is bad..what past mean??before/after?

[02:01] yes [02:01] Well that's not good [02:01] edbian: the users can have their own settings also. so it will change to that.. Its possible you need to tweak the xorg.conf to set the default/initial res. or it might be in the gdm.conf file/settings [02:01] The command grub-install and others in grub config is no sucess... [02:01] Upgrade your flash player then [02:01] I am right now [02:01] cant uninstall totem! [02:01] Are* [02:01] why!? [02:01] ive never had to really mess with gdm config in ages.

You can safely edit it. The x server probes your video card and monitor to decide what resolutions should be available. If you add some to xorg.conf they will also be available [02:04] anyone know anything about xbtit or where i could find some decent documentation? [02:04] JoshStrobl: Pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [02:04] I understand Dr_willis... Im still having grub problem! :( [02:04] no documentation seem helping unfortunately as it should!

[02:05] thats an all day thing... but the question come to mind... will I risk anything to loose? [02:06] what does adobe-flashplugin install? [02:06] yeah I realized that but doing at best is great ;) [02:06] or is it just an alias to flashplugin-nonfree [02:06] apoleo12: i spent a few hrs one day sitting down and reading/learning about grub. Its got some amazing features.. [02:06] Adremelech|Lapto: Look at the packages in synaptic. flashplugin-nonfree installs adobe flash 10 [02:06] Lemme check. I might have downloaded that package from Adobe actually. [02:06] apoleo12: of course 'grub2' is to be used in the next release. :) so i will have to relearn it. [02:06] Adremelech|Lapto: And so do a couple other packages [02:07] does anyone knows how to run Pangya on ubuntu? im trying with virtualbox, but getting an error [02:07] dr_willis: ok so I have yet to lose anything right? [02:07] where can i find a ubuntu driver for "mobile intel 945gm" [02:07] apoleo12: you got some critical data you are worried about? Use a live cd.. back it up somewhere. [02:08] someone here said that having three harddrives that grub wont look for others.. or something like that [02:08] JoshStrobl: Did you put it in a pastebin? [02:08] !intel | woods [02:08] woods: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information.

Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [02:08] jumbers>im waiting for you to accept the source.list [02:08] Nothing too critial... only been using linux for a few weeks... and will continue doing so! :P [02:08] apoleo12: It depends what's in your menu.lst (hd0) is HDD 1 (hd1) is HDD2 [02:09] apelgate: etc etc. Grub will find your harddrives. [02:09] JoshStrobl: I don't accept DCC files, use the pastebin [02:09] ugh forget it [02:09] so those numbers is no harm to configure to get it working huh? as if its like pointing to the right "person"? [02:09] ubottu said exactly what to do [02:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:09] apoleo12: you can change those #'s all about. it wont hurt yourfiles - no.. [02:10] apoleo12: you could play with ubuntu and grub in a virtualbox machine/session for total safey :) [02:10] can I get rid of grub once I get it working? :P [02:10] JoshStrobl: All you have to do is paste it and give me the link [02:10] I cant because I dont have any of those programs anyway right now anyway [02:10] apoleo12: you dont get 'rid' of it once you get it working.. that makes nos ence [02:11] apoleo12: You need a boot loader or your OS won't start. (If you could get rid of it why would you bother fixing it?) [02:11] apoleo12: if you want a differtn bootloader you install a differnt one to the mbr. :) [02:11] how can i mount another ext3 partition? [02:11] can anyone help me install a distro onto a currently mounted/installed distro in terminal? [02:11] * Dr_Willis waits for ssomeone to chime in about how the bootloader dosent need to be on the MBR.... [02:11] ok like grub to lilo? wont be able to get rid of grub after lilo? [02:11] apoleo12: lilo overwrites the mbr.. and thus overwrites grub [02:12] apoleo12: same for the windows bootloader. [02:12] apoleo12: you got ONE bootloader on the MBR. you can have others on the partitions boot sector also. but thats not as common [02:12] apoleo12: You need a boot loader. The boot loader sits (partly) in the MBR. Grub is a boot loader, Lilo is a boot loader, the Windows boot loader is a boot loader. If you can start an OS you have a boot loader. [02:12] Ok now I think Im getting somewhere... because.. windows has it own bootloader and obviously that i grub-install'ed and lost the windows bootloader... [02:13] apoleo12: lilo is older and special in that it sits totally (i think) on the MBR. grub uses extra files (menu.lst and others) to work. [02:13] i installed flash player 10 0_0 audio for videos still don't work [02:13] apoleo12: thats how it works.. grub can boot windows (chain boot) [02:13] How do I make rsync exclude all files EXCEPT mp3/jpg/txt? Rather than just exclude certain ones manually. [02:13] apoleo12: im not even sure what your ORIGINAL problem is any more [02:13] apoleo12: That's correct. [02:13] Me too!!! [02:13] JoshStrobl: Did you install adobe-flashplayer? [02:13] yes [02:13] but well I appreciate your help tho [02:13] duiu, include just those extensions? see the rsync manpage [02:13] JoshStrobl: I thought you didn't have the package [02:14] To: Any IRC Person that was online the other night: I finally figured out percentage [02:14] dr_willis: even tho the computer seem keep rebooting itself when it touches groub [02:14] jumbers> i installed the package just barely [02:14] now thats is a new orginal problem I guess === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [02:14] can anyone help me override a parition wtih a new distro? [02:14] using the install_flash_player_10_linux.deb [02:14] dr_willis: I figured percentage. [02:14] apoleo12: if your grub menu.lst is wrong for whatever you are trying to boot. it fails to boot.. thus reboots. [02:14] !don'tzap [02:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about don'tzap [02:14] !dontzap [02:14] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [02:14] JoshStrobl: What browser? And did you restart the browser? [02:14] Firefox and yes [02:14] uhm, so its the menu.lst then? [02:15] s_: just tell the installer to format them.. they are erased then. [02:15] ya can say maybe heh [02:15] Go back to the version check page and see what it says [02:15] When do I need to use the exec {} command with find? Is it necessary in all cases? Also confused about use of xargs statement [02:15] apoleo12: if your grub menu.lst is wrong for whatever you are trying to boot. it fails to boot.. thus reboots. [02:15] JoshStrobl: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html [02:15] ok [02:15] Dr_Willis: I wish this distro had an installer script ;/ [02:15] apoleo12: what else would you expect it to do? [02:15] !gcalc [02:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about gcalc [02:15] s_: i dont even know what you are trying to install... [02:15] wtf it still says the same thing [02:15] I am trying to figure out why the laser jet printer I have enabled and working fine and shared.. on my ubuntu box.. running vbox for a win xp host.. is not browseable or viewed from XP when I attempt to add it to my printers... [02:15] should i restart my computer? [02:15] !gcalc-tool [02:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about gcalc-tool [02:16] Dr_Willis: another ubuntu-like distro [02:16] JoshStrobl: It probably didn't overwrite the flash plugin file I'm guessing [02:16] unop: I did, but I'm confused [02:16] !gcalctool [02:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about gcalctool [02:16] (restarting computer( [02:16] !calc [02:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about calc [02:16] well "gcalctool" is the actual name [02:16] kevdog, the preferred way is to use -exec .. xargs is usually broken unless all filenames passed to it are quoted properly [02:17] duiu, see the --include and --include-from options -- you specify patterns to them [02:17] edbian: You see the other night, I was on here asking how to add percentage with gcalc tool, (I'm used to windows), Anyway I finally figured it out. [02:17] unop: yes, I know that, but I was having troubles. Think I got it now, issue with * vs ** [02:17] unop: What are the parentheses for? [02:18] jamieleshaw: O good. :) [02:18] kevdog, parantheses in regards to the shell or find? [02:18] unop: The parentheses in the exec {} [02:18] edbian: I asked here because UBUNTU IRC people normally help me, but instead they acted as if i were a moron. [02:19] jamieleshaw: No offense but adding percentages isn't exactly ubuntu related. Even if you are using an ubuntu app. That's like someone asking for help on a term paper written using Open Office. [02:20] kevdog, those are curly-braces not parantheses .. find expands that notation to the filename found so it can be passed to the application properly [02:20] edbian: I know, but you's normally help me anyway. [02:20] Hi. I was wondering if anyone has had problems with their graphics drivers after a reboot? I had uninstalled my X server for the Nvidia driver but now on reboot its saying I don't have it and made me use the X server. [02:20] jamieleshaw: Well I'm flattered. Do you need help right now? :) [02:21] worldwarcheese, you need X to use the nvidia driver [02:21] I had been using my comp for weeks without issue on the Nvidia driver as well so it just seems random [02:21] edbain: No, but if your in Australia, I can give you $10 off at jambocentral.com [02:21] kevdog, for example you might want something like this. find . -exec echo I found {} \; [02:21] dr_willis: I'd expect it easily find those OS'es but as the menu.lst puts it by numbers.. guess Ill play with those numbers then [02:21] edbian: Because I really like Ubuntu. [02:21] can anyone explain to me what '\r' is? I'm trying to parse a text file and '\r' keeps appearing. [02:21] ok I restarted my computer and audio now works [02:21] jamieleshaw: Unfortunately I'm in America (Il to be specific) I've never even been to a jambocentral! [02:22] jamieleshaw: PM me? [02:22] Adremelech|Lapto: I uninstalled those because they got in the way of the Nvidia proprietary drivers [02:22] jumbers> thank you for your great help [02:22] unop: Do I always this for example if I was passing the output to sed or something? Couldn't I just do a find . -name "*.mp3" | sed ...........

[02:22] edbian: Sure. [02:22] Alastair-, \r is a carriage return - typically used in windows style line endings [02:22] Alastair-: \ is how windows passes arguments [02:22] ah, okay. [02:22] thank you. === drunkchild314 is now known as addchild314 [02:23] worldwarcheese, just run nvidia-xconfig after you install the nvidia-drivers [02:23] edbian: Quick question, I'm using XChat When i clcik on your name it does not go into pm mode. [02:23] right click on name [02:23] kevdog, you could do that - but you must be careful, that construct can break if your filenames have spaces or newlines, etc in them. [02:23] click Open Dialog Window [02:23] jamieleshaw: Right click "private message" [02:23] i'm trying to set up partitions so I can install windows side-by-side with ubuntu, how do I configure GRUB to recognize windows [02:23] i use xChat also so I'm familiar with everything set up on it [02:23] Adremelech|Lapto: So I should reinstall the drivers I got a few weeks back from the Nvidia website and after installation I should run that line? [02:24] kevdog, this should help you - http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind [02:24] unop: So what would be the correct syntax for use with sed? [02:24] worldwarcheese, apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [02:24] Hello, any alternative to #php channel? [02:24] apoleo12: menu.lst can also use UUID's :) [02:24] Adremelech|Lapto: What does that do? [02:24] can anyone see my text, xchat makes mine look dark against this black background [02:25] worldwarcheese, installs nvidia-drivers [02:25] kevdog, erm it gets complicated. while read -r -d '' line; do sed -e '...' <<< "$line"; done < <(find . -print0) [02:25] GuidMorrow: xchat has color settings in the menus somewhere. and its themeable with different colors [02:25] GuidMorrow: I can see you quite well [02:25] wtf my audio on youtube was working like 1 second ago now it aint [02:25] Dr_willis: well that I not know that but I'll use the 9hdx,x) format... cuz i do get the concept [02:25] GuidMorrow: speak up.. :) i cant hear you [02:25] Hey Dr_Willis :) [02:25] Adremelech|Lapto: All of them or find the correct one? Because the driver I had to install last time had a long name to it like x86-64-something-or-other [02:25] kevdog, the link i gave you discusses some pitfalls and how to avoid them [02:26] apoleo12: a =0 b=1 :) starts at 0 thats the trick to rember.. grub command line/shell also has features to show/find specific files so you can tell what os/drive is what. [02:26] JoshStrobl: It worked? [02:26] worldwarcheese, nvidia-glx-180 should be the one you want to install [02:26] unop: Im reading the page right now, but the last example you gave me -- That's crazy! === prefrontal_ is now known as prefrontal [02:26] almost there, how can i run .patch files? [02:26] dr_willis: yeah... [02:27] jumbers> it did the first time, so i restarted firefox again just to make sure and it didn't work! [02:27] kevdog, well yea, typically for trivial scripts - you wouldn't go through the hassle - but if you want your script to work everywhere and not be prone to errors, you'd have to worry. [02:27] apoleo12: below the 'Title XXXX' line you notice a 'uuid XXXXX' line - that is replacing the old fashioned 'root hd0' option you may see mentioned in some grub docs (uuid in grub is a relatively new feature) [02:28] apoleo12: and root=UUID=XXXX is also a 'new' feature. ages ago it would of been root=sda1 or similer.. wich could REALLY goof things up [02:28] My wife's computer crashes a lot. She gets a black screen, then kicked back to the Ubuntu login (not a full reboot). She runs Ubuntu 9.04 64bit with Gnome. It has gigs free in / and /home. I have replaced most of the computer, but haven't found a cause. Her Ubuntu install is fairly new. It has always done this on her pc. Mine is fine. Would anything show up in a log? If so, which log should I look at? [02:28] dr_wilis: there isnt UUID in menu.lst... [02:28] AdremelechLapto: Thanks for the help. I'm going to try that and see how it goes. [02:28] apoleo12: there is here.... look again.. [02:28] vlc isnt listed on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/multiverse/source/Sources.gz [02:28] smeg> use 32 bit [02:28] worldwarcheese, just remember to run nvidia-xconfig twice after the drivers are installed [02:28] pastebinit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:29] http://pastebin.com/f66184e16 [02:29] yeah yer right.. in the kernel line [02:29] vlc isnt listed on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/multiverse/source/Sources.gz ... it isnt available?

[02:30] Dr_Willis, could you give me a full url to the vlc source? i cant find it [02:30] smegzor: normally X crashign to GDM is 'X crashing and restarting' that can often be due to video card driver issues. [02:30] i run patch blah.patch ,and it stood there [02:30] worldwarcheese, it usually gives some config error the first time its run, so i always run it a second time to make sure (it doesnt give an error the second time) [02:30] felix_: no idea where its at.. theres apt commands to download the source packages if you have the source repos enabled. [02:31] where the heck's firefox when I need it opened [02:31] felix_: i recall vlc can be a pain to recompile. [02:31] Adremelech|Lapto: Out of sheer curiosity, did you ever figure out why it runs that error?

[02:31] worldwarcheese, nope, but it always seems to work fine [02:31] Dr_Willis: hmm.. it has had several video cards to try to fix the problem. The latest is a not very modern Nvidia. [02:31] typing on english :S [02:32] Adremelech|Lapto: And you run games and compiz and everything fine? [02:32] It doesn't have Compiz installed so thats not the problem. [02:32] felix_: Hmm.. why would it break. the command i am thinking of just downloads the src files to the local directory. but ive never used gnusence.. so good luck. [02:32] Adremelech|Lapto: This is just a little different from the way I first learned it I want to make sure it goes smoothly [02:32] smegzor: what video card and what driver are you using for it?

[02:36] Hey guys, I'm trying to get grub to let me boot into Windows. I have Windows 7 installed on a separate partition on my main (and only) hard drive. How can I configure grub to allow me to boot into Windows? [02:36] smegzor, also "aptitude search nvidia" will tell you if you have ubuntu's nvidia drivers installed [02:36] Dr_Willis: Well I was wrong about the card. It is an ATI 9200 Pro. [02:37] I have a couple of nvidia cards lying around. I will throw one of those in. [02:37] running patch --verbose whatever.patch ,does nothing. No error message. is this a bad problem? [02:37] can anyone recommend a good multi-language IDE (looking for Python, HTML, CSS support at least)?

Someone just clued me into its developer document lookup plugin. [02:49] Dr_Willis: Is there just some easy way to find out what the hard drive number is? Or do I just have to test them? [02:49] kavurt: me also..hard to understand.me poor english [02:50] Dacvak: the "hard drive number"??? [02:50] Dacvak: thje grub docs detil the grub command line and it has tools to show what drives are what. You will want to find out what one it says is the windows ntfs./vfat drive. [02:50] Dacvak: UUID? [02:50] Dacvak: sda = hd0 normally [02:50] sdb = hd1 [02:50] Dr_Willis: please see mine=http://paste.ubuntu.com/254318/ i got error=no NFS found in /etc/fstab: [02:50] Dacvak: booting from a exteranal USB drvice can 'reorder' these also.. [02:51] Qu4R0w: /etc/fstab has a typo would be my guess... [02:51] Qu4R0w: but that has nothing to do with grub that i am aware of [02:51] nick henky_chan25m [02:51] Dr_Willis: So, could it possibly just be (hdX) instead of something like (hdX,X)? === com-8 is now known as henky_chan25m [02:52] Dr_Willis: owh..ok then,.. [02:52] Dacvak: depends on how your system is set up. MY machine is hd0,1 becuase its the first parttion on the first drive.. You could chain boot the 2nd or other hard drives with hd2 [02:52] Dacvak: hd0 is the 'drive' hd0,0 is the first partition ON the first drive [02:53] Dacvak: at the grub 'shell' when you boot (or use grub from the command line) you can do some [02:53] 'tab completion' to see what grub sees as what devices [02:54] #limeira [02:54] how many times can ubuntu be upgraded to the next release ? before you have to do a clean install [02:55] lol [02:55] rob0917: a whole bunch.. if you are lucky [02:55] anyone know of a journal/diary program for ubuntu that has password protection [02:55] Dr_Willis: it was indeed in his fstab :) [02:55] rob0917, ideally eternally [02:55] thanks [02:55] I alwyas do clean reinstalls. :) [02:56] seems more reliable that way [02:56] plus i can check out the new default themes easier. :P [02:56] wth?! why are floppy disks read-only in here?! [02:56] rob0917, if you have a seperate /home then fresh install are not as bothersome [02:56] GuidMorrow: it would depend on how they are mounted.. [02:57] ok [02:57] GuidMorrow: inless you got that little R/W tab moved :) [02:57] what does the acer-wmid do? I get a boot up error when I start this laptop [02:57] !info acer-wmid [02:57] Package acer-wmid does not exist in jaunty [02:57] Dr_Willis, lol, that's what I said already [02:58] work time for me. bye all [02:58] the disk isn't write protected [02:58] donavan_: http://lifeograph.wikidot.com/start [02:58] and why can't I even find my floppy drive?

I've got Ubuntu 9.04 installed. Ubuntu 9.04 has Catalyst 5.7 (an old version). I see that Karmic has Catalyst 5.8. Is there some way I can take advantage of that Catalyst 5.8 package from Karmic to install Catalyst 5.8 in my Ubuntu 9.04 installation? Or is that definitely impossible? [03:03] is there a channel for karmic ? [03:04] !karmic [03:04] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [03:04] :) [03:04] thank you :) [03:04] Aw crap, Dr_Willis left.

(dual boot, one hard drive, its partition is located on sda2) [03:05] I'm unable to get Apache working properly. I try to start it, but I'm unable to connect. Can someone please help?

[03:10] arthus: what do you get when you visit http://127.0.1.1 ? [03:10] However, the site still doesn't load. [03:10] 127.0.1.1 works as localhost too [03:10] 127.*.*.* should all loopback [03:11] beasty: connection refused [03:11] it worked! [03:11] the intel driver [03:11] thank u dr_willis. [03:11] arthus: what you can do is set the 'LogLevel' from apache2.conf to 'devel' [03:11] Are you totally sure you typed the UP address right, and that it wasn't 127.0.0.1? [03:11] arthus: err. debug [03:11] kurisuto: UP ? :p [03:11] IP [03:11] :) [03:11] I mean IP [03:11] It's late.

[03:15] analysis62, there is a known regression for intel drivers [03:15] etyrnal: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready, merely means what it says: the link is not up yet. The link will be up once wpa_supplicant negotiated the key. [03:15] !intel | analysis62 [03:15] analysis62: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support.

[03:16] beasty, my wifi network does not require a key [03:16] analysis62: you should upgrade to 9.04 first instead of installing 9.04 packages on 8.10 [03:16] beasty: any ideas? [03:16] arthus: sure [03:16] What you men by regresion? [03:16] beasty, also... when the machine first comes up. the wifi works for about 1 to 5 minutes... then seem,s to die/ [03:17] arthus: edit the apache2 php.ini file and delete every .so file at the bottom listed above [03:17] analysis62, well some intel graphics drivers that worked in 8.10 stopped working in 9.04 === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [03:17] IdleOne: And what about Via Chrome?

[03:33] lnxten: thanks [03:33] !root [03:33] 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 [03:33] automan070192, your sudo password is the password you set for your user [03:33] automan070192: read ^ [03:34] i got a question is there any software like crossloop or teamviewer that it will allow me to control somebody linux desktop? [03:34] only possible is reset the root password by simple trick [03:34] gabangie: with their permission?

Using *VNC is fine as long as you don't mind figuring out destination IP addresses and configuring routers etc etc, unless you're using Hamachi. [03:42] that is what it said the link u sent me idleOne [03:43] gabangie, yes [03:43] gabangie, install wine and then wine teamvier.exe to install [03:44] <_fluffee> Is there a highly reccomended firewall with GUI? I'm reasonably conversant with networking, would much prefer a GUI however. Using 8.10, am trying Guarddog, not thrilled. So far. [03:44] ok i ll try to do that and see if that work [03:44] thxs [03:44] !iptables | _fluffee [03:44] _fluffee: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [03:45] do u know of any other that was made just for linux without using wine [03:45] \? [03:45] firewall starter. but better you must learn cli [03:46] gabangie, nope not yet. cept for the solutions offered earlier [03:46] quick question [03:46] have u tried crossloop? [03:46] does anyone know how to encrypt the entire system, AFTER Ubuntu has been installed? [03:46] When running a game like Unreal Tournement (or any other native game; same for games run in WINE, but it is not a WINE problem) the right mouse button won't work if I'm holding down a keyboard key, etc, but the left one does. What might be the problem? [03:47] rachels: Something would need to start the computer up to decrypt it, that might not be the best option. [03:47] rachels : by now you have to backup and crypt, which means same as reinstall === charles is now known as QuietShaman [03:48] You can encrypt your files, though... That's probably just as good. [03:48] <_fluffee> ubottu: Yeah, I know it's all iptables/chains underneath, was just sort of glossing over. I'll look at Firestart/Gufw. Thanks. [03:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:48] <_fluffee> [03:48] Hah :D [03:48] R0b0t1, don't trust encrypting files -- the OS leaves stuff behind, logs, etc. [03:49] DasEi, so there's no way without reinstall? [03:49] IdleOne, ok i guess with tab it can write ur name easier [03:49] <_fluffee> lnxten: Thnaks, I wil ladd that to the list. Gonna try the GUI stuff first, get my feet wet. Thanks again. [03:49] ;) [03:49] gabangie, correct [03:50] rachels: not really, you could backup an leave the install in order, but more painfull then a clean install and play the packets back by file [03:50] IdleOne, have u tried crossloop on ubuntu? [03:50] what linux u got? [03:50] gabangie, I have not [03:50] !clone | rachels [03:50] rachels: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [03:50] gabangie, ubuntu 9.04 [03:50] When running a game like Unreal Tournement (or any other native game; same for games run in WINE, but it is not a WINE problem) the right mouse button won't work if I'm holding down a keyboard key, etc, but the left one does.

[04:09] gabangie, that is what Ubuntu is [04:09] DasEi: oh btw, i'm using esd rather than pulse [04:10] dsdeiz: it's a packe, apt-get it [04:10] Ben64 Did you receive an answer to your question regarding the checksum errors? [04:10] no, its 4.6.0 atmo, cos of the reinstall, want to get 4.6.1 back, but have no idea how it turned up in an update, must have been a repo i added for something but dont know what. ive got a remastersys backup of the install but not sure if thatll help [04:10] I have a question! My gnome theme load failed, a hint is *.svg could not be display!!!!! [04:10] IdleOne, that is great , do u think in 5 years ubuntu will kick MS butt ? [04:10] Ezail: 6667 [04:11] ubuntu already kicks ms ass [04:11] gabangie, ubuntu's goal is not to kick any other OS'es butt. we just trying to give people a different choice [04:11] meekon, ah, probably [04:11] i try [04:12] would be easier to find the right repo, the kuki im on is based on the ubuntu 9.04 jaunty [04:12] dsdeiz:I assume you have already adjusted the volume setting? [04:13] have the source files for 4.6.1 but dont know howto compile and add with dependencies etc. might there be a way to get my source.list from the remastersys backup? [04:13] ok, so you know how you can close a tab and firefox goes back to the last tab that was open? how can I increase the history of that. Right now, when I close one tab it goes back to the previous tab, but after that when I close a second tab it just goes to the closest tab not the one that was open second to last - does that make sense? [04:14] ezzieyguywuf, yes it does and I have no clue how to do that either [04:14] Hello. I'm trying to run Morrowind in Wine on Ubuntu 9.04. The sound works fine by the graphics are so slow they're nearly frozen. I don't know what I'm doing with it, as this is the first time I've installed Wine and am not a regular Linux user (though I'm using it more and more lately.) I was hoping to get some help with the configuartion of Wine, perhaps, if that's where the problem is. [04:14] IdleOne, but unfortunally ppl want what they know even if it is work and i got a computer shop and being trying to install everybody ubuntu but in the long term they end up with windows again [04:14] jats: yups [04:14] Anyone know how to get the touch pad on a sony vaio working [04:14] I have asked this question in #winehq but it's been awhile and no one has answered yet. [04:14] IdleOne: at least it makes sense :-) [04:14] Magliadoro, try #winehq [04:15] ablyss: Already tried. [04:15] anyone here using a compaq laptop and playing dvds,, ubuntu 8.04 [04:15] ezzieyguywuf, made sense to me but I think weird and so do you it seems lol [04:16] Ubiedoodie: I found that 8.04 didn't like DVDs very much. I upgraded to 9.04 and it works fine. [04:16] 9.04 has issues with this laptop.. Compaq c60-211DX tried Kubuntu 9.04 with no success [04:17] gabangie, the problem is hardware drivers and game makers not providing linux drivers [04:17] totem freezes system on any movie playback [04:18] Ubiedoodie, try vlc? [04:18] will do ... how to turn off totem autoplay when dvd is inserted? [04:18] oh, or better yet, how to increase the volume on mplayer [04:18] i believe that's where my problem really is [04:19] in vlc, there is this equalizer where i can increase the volume by adjusting some values [04:19] dsdeiz, press zero [04:20] IdleOne, i got a customer who works at the insurance company and he only need excel and he has an excel file that does nt work well at open office [04:20] dsdeiz, I know that ubuntu default is to set the system volume low. I dont know if you checked that already or not [04:20] so or he go back to ms office with windows or try to install ms office in linux [04:20] kbp：still Unable to connect server irc.freenode.net port 6667 [Cannot [04:20] assign requested address: 202.102.199.162] [04:20] is there someone here who knows how, and might be willing to help me solve the porblem indicated by "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready" [04:20] beasty, also... when the machine first comes up. the wifi works for about 1 to 5 minutes... then seem,s to die/ [04:21] bastidrazor: pressing zero increases the volume right? i've got it to maxed [04:21] IdleOne: oh? may i ask how to adjust it? [04:21] dsdeiz, right click on the speaker in the top right corner [04:22] gebangie:any details? I don't think macros are supported in OpenOffice.org(would love to be wrong). === timewasted_ is now known as timewasted [04:22] IdleOne: oh one sec, I have a different environment. can i do it using the terminal? [04:22] whenever i update or upgrade, there is an error in startup manager, how to correct it,http://pastebin.ca/1532119 [04:23] dsdeiz, type alsamixer [04:24] dsdeiz, use arrow keys to adjust values [04:24] Hello! [04:24] hmm, i've mentioned earlier that i use alsamixer to adjust volumes :) [04:24] dsdeiz, didn't see that sorry [04:24] is there like an equalizer for mplayer that is similar to vlc? [04:25] Does anyone know any place I can learn how to make ubuntu binaries? (not compiling, actually making the .deb files for other people to use) [04:25] dsdeiz, don't know sorry [04:25] mplayer -gui has a equlizer im pretty sure... right lcik on the video dsdeiz [04:25] IdleOne: oh ok. thanks anyway [04:26] gwildor: oooh? really?

[04:27] hey im wondering do i have to install the ati catalyst from website to play games under ubuntu or is it included in the ati driver package from synaptic? [04:27] would look it to it more but i thik i can get a faster answer here lol [04:27] dont wanna do something unessary [04:27] :P [04:27] IdleOne, but now intel is helping with mobling with drivers ,etc dont u think? [04:27] hi.. anyone here have luck installing ubuntu on a SATA drive connected to a VIA PCI card and booting to it? [04:28] the installation went on without issue but cannot boot to it [04:28] heya, i've installed the nsis package, and there is no nsis executable on my system, how do I use this package then? [04:28] can I disable autoplay from totem? [04:28] Is there a command to truncate a file to the last X bytes/lines/whatever?

Is there a way I can copy ubuntu to unused space on the 1st HD? [04:48] Can anyone help me trace a wireless network? One of my neibhors has one, is it possile to trace it to an address through an IP address? [04:48] so i've been comparing sound quality between Ubuntu and FreeBSD, yes they use different sound systems, but sound quaity on Ubuntu is absolutely gross compared to that in FreeBSD, is it because of defaults or something to that effect? [04:49] Tamnakz: not to a physical street address unless you have access to the ISP's records [04:49] Tamnakz: It's possible to trace an IP adress to a city, but only the ISP holds the address records [04:50] ninjaslim: oss4 might sound better than alsa [04:50] ^^^ unused space, meaning unpartitioned space [04:52] trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 (alternate cd) on a desktop but it seems to be locking up at 39%. The Scroll, Num, and Caps Lock lights on my keyboard are just flashing together. The CD passed the "Check CD for errors" test. [04:52] Is there any way to realistically find the person or get a message to them using their IP address? [04:52] jmazikowski: that'd be a kernel panic [04:52] Tamnakz: not unless theyve a mail server on there and you know what user you want to send to [04:53] Tamnakz, contact the ISP if you feel it is that serious [04:53] not a problem at all!!! [04:53] Tamnakz: knock on neighbors doors [04:53] just want to find out who it is and ask permission to be on it! [04:53] Tamnakz, lol good luck with that [04:53] Nautilus: that's next, I haev a good idea who it is [04:53] well there ya go [04:54] idleone: I can trace through comcast that it's an unlimited broadband plan, all I need is to be able to send and recieve a few documents for work [04:54] maco: how do I go about getting it past that point? [04:54] Tamnakz: I think youre better off not asking [04:55] Tamnakz, the fact that you want to ask for permission to me says your a decent person. I don't see it being a big issue if you use the connection for a little bit [04:55] right, but it's very weak, My uncle can re-flash a router and I can build a tuned antenna to get a perfect signal, for about ten bucks [04:56] DigitalKiwi: i see, i thought as much but i'm assuming it's not recommended to isntall it on ubuntu [04:56] Tamnakz: If you ask and they say yes, then they do some kiddie pr0n and get arrested, they can say you did it. [04:56] why wouldn't it be recommended to install on ubuntu? [04:56] jmazikowski: are you familiar with the blue screen of death? that's the windows nickname for a kernel panic [04:56] !oss4 [04:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about oss4 [04:57] !oss [04:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about oss [04:57] !info oss4 [04:57] jmazikowski: either there's some bad hardware or some really horrible driver is flipping out [04:57] Package oss4 does not exist in jaunty [04:57] i give up [04:57] DigitalKiwi: it isnt in ubuntu [04:57] lol [04:57] that's ok [04:57] maco: wut [04:57] So, there's not much of a chance of figuring out who it is without going door to door? [04:57] DigitalKiwi: because its a replacment for ALSA [04:57] DigitalKiwi: one that is not very complete on many newer sound cards [04:57] Tamnakz: wander with a laptop and watch signal strength [04:57] does anybody know of a way to manually edit the palette on a gif file? gimp decided black wasn't important, and I need it to match the background on a website. [04:57] no, it's not a replacement for ALSA, ALSA was a replacement for OSS on Linux [04:58] does ubuntu have some exclusive deal with the alsa devs? :P [04:58] ninjaslim: well except that oss was removed so if you were going to put it back *in*... thatd be replacing it, now wouldnt it? [04:58] because it was encumbered software, but OSS4 is now available under BSD and GPL licenses [04:58] oss4 is actually pretty decent [04:58] DigitalKiwi: alsa is in the kernel. oss4 is not. oss4 will NEVER be in the kernel. [04:58] ninjaslim: it also does floating point arithmetic in kernel space [04:59] (there is a ban on floating point arithmetic) [04:59] * ninjaslim sigh [04:59] oi gf [04:59] oss4 is superior on very old sound cards though, ill give ya that [04:59] a couple of creatives as well [04:59] OSS4 is a far better sound system than ALSA considering how many band-aids alsa has needed to get it's kind of functionality [05:00] design sure...but its range of hardware support is rather limited [05:00] wth they use floating point for in a sound driver? [05:00] Nautilus: they do in-kernel mixing [05:00] Nautilus: the quality of the mixing is supposedly made better than alsa's dmix thanks to that floating point [05:00] still FP seems overkill [05:01] maco: that depends on what operating system it's on, each of the BSDs have different levels ofs upport [05:01] what about a computer that I see as a wireless connection? any chance of contacting someone via the computer? :P [05:01] How do you open emacs in jaunty? [05:01] ninjaslim: well we're talkin about linux aren't we? more hardware is supported by alsa than oss, though on the subset of hardware supported by oss, its generally a bit better [05:02] but anyway i don't really care about it too much right now, what i'd really like to know is if there's some sort of backup utility similar ot Time Machine/Time Slider on Mac OS X/OpenSolaris [05:02] !cflags [05:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about cflags [05:02] Tamnakz: if you crack in and send a "wall" message to all users sure [05:02] maco: more info please? [05:02] maco: fine, i'll give you that [05:02] Tamnakz: i am not teaching you how to crack into someone's machine [05:02] Tamnakz: that is illegal [05:02] CFLAG is the environment variable that i must set up to cross compiling? [05:02] I didn't know what you meant?!? [05:02] but it's one thing to support any and all hardware and to support any and all hardware and do it well [05:02] anyone use tf-b4rt's nzb feature? i upload a nzb & nothing happens (it simply refreshs to index page after nzb upload finishes) & i see "no file in file-upload" in the activity log. [05:03] maco: I'll have to check out the hardware... thanks! [05:03] im having problems [05:03] can someone help me? [05:03] Tamnakz, it's over kill. use the connection. not like you would be the first person to use a neighbors internet [05:03] ninjaslim: you can support all hardware somewhat or some hardware well, but all well...? nahhh [05:03] can i copy a 2nd hd with ubuntu to an unused partition on the 1st (XP) HD ? [05:03] idleone: it's come and go, I'd rather find out who it is, give 'em ten bucks a month, and use my share [05:03] Nautilus: yes [05:04] ninjaslim: realistically, the hardware manufacturers make it impossible to distinguish many pieces of hardware so the drivers cant know what to do in some cases. there will be 10 devices that all claim to be the same thing and arent [05:04] di||itante: any outline for 'how' for me? [05:04] Tamnakz: is it a router? connect to it, change the settings on it and :) [05:04] ninjaslim: in windows, they get around it by supplying separate drivers with the hardware instead of trying to have a generic driver [05:05] Tamnakz: when you connect to someone else's wifi if they know what they are doing they can see everything you do including bank accounts and passwords [05:05] steil: Could, but won't [05:05] Nautilus: there are different ways... Is the space on the XP drive larger than the Ubuntu drive? [05:05] maco: true, but anyway it can be done https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [05:05] ninjaslim: personally id use rdiff if i wanted incrementals, by the way [05:05] ninjaslim: but i suppose you want a gui thing? [05:05] ctmjr: I have a program from my brother that'll get me into most secured routers, doesn't mean I'll do it [05:05] ninjaslim: yeah i know it can be done...just not recommended [05:05] di||itante: yes [05:06] ninjaslim: may i pm? [05:06] maco: yes go for it [05:07] in /etc/fstab, for my mount point i cannot put "/media/New Directory" i have to put /media/New\040\Directory "\040" means space in ascii ? [05:07] Nautilus: thats good... Ok, do you want the same partition size to carry over or do you want to use all the space on the XP drive? [05:07] dill: dont care, either way [05:07] err, di|| [05:07] Nautilus: [05:08] Nautilus: ok, then recreate the exact partitions on the empty space as they exist on the ubuntu drive [05:08] is user2 part of group user2 even though my /etc/group file says user2:x:1002: (without user2 being behind the last :) [05:08] di||itante: simple one partition install of ubuntu [05:08] Nautilus: You can get those exace specs with fdisk [05:08] di||itante: follow so far [05:09] Nautilus: Once you make an identical partition, then boot to a live Linux cd and use "dd" to copy the ubuntu install to the new partition on the XP drive [05:10] hi any1 know how or where i can check if a port is open and how to open it if it s not? [05:10] Tamnakz: i did not say anything about hacking the wep key i said if you connect to someone else's wifi they can see what you do on the internet, [05:10] does anyone know if president obama uses ubuntu [05:10] !ot | afed [05:10] afed: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

While IMAP servers can be configured to permit plain-text transmission of passwords, RFC 3501 mandates support for authentication methods which avoid this vulnerability. It is possible to encrypt IMAP traffic using Transport Layer Security (SSL), either by tunneling IMAP communications over SSL on port 993, or by issuing the STARTTLS command ... [05:20] ... within an established IMAP session (see RFC 2595). [05:20] ok there is that [05:21] but you probably want to use SSL anyway because you want all your mail encrypted, since you probably have a ton of email with passwords and junk in it [05:21] what [05:21] my resolution is 800x600 [05:21] ?

I am trying to use Ubuntu on a Toshiba NB205 netbook. Due to the lack of a CD drive, I installed through XP using the Net Install. I accidentally installed the base config (command line) at first, but I was able to apt-get and now the full graphical environment works. My Wi-Fi does not work. I have an Atheros card. I downloaded the Windows Wireless Drivers package, which tells me to select the INF file for the driver. I [05:49] ran the driver installer a windows PC and grabbed all the INF files it output, then I installed them with the utility in Ubuntu. The installs worked at first, but still no Wi-Fi and now when I look at them it says the drivers are invalid. Any ideas? [05:50] I installed Ubuntu 9.04 onto a SATA drive connected to a VIA PCI card.. I don't think the VIA PCI card/drive is recognized on boot though.. is there any way to boot to Ubuntu in this case? [05:50] kamil, system preferences compiz config settings manager is ccsm settings control panel [05:51] kamil: did you get it open? if youre having trouble, just hit alt+f2 and type "ccsm" in the runbox [05:51] xobile - did you install GRUB Bootloader? [05:51] yes I was looking there but could not find it [05:51] I have it open [05:51] i went through the installer.. but didnt see anything specific asking if i wanted to install GRUB [05:52] I should look for commands plugin i think [05:52] is disconnecting my usb ntfs hard drives without unmounting them first okay in ubuntu? [05:52] but can't find it :( [05:52] have you tried going into your BIOS setup options and selecting the ubuntu drive as the default boot drive? [05:52] kamil: its in general [05:52] doesnt recognize it because it is connected via a PCI SATA card [05:52] kamil: there's a "keybindings" tab inside it [05:53] Can someone tell me how to restart UnrealIRCd? (I failed the quiz for their support channel and was banned). [05:53] i did the command that one guy said there.. my pc was restarted [05:54] how i can config my resolution manually?

I'm told only the computer's other user can unmount /dev/scd0 from /media/cdrom0, & I see no good reason for that. I looked at user permissions in system/admin/users & groups & both me and the other user (added later in fact) have rights to use cd rom drives. I gave us both permissions to do everything on the list, but I still can't eject. What's going on? [06:05] mikeciance: by utility you mean ndiswrapper? [06:05] mayday mayday possible hardware trouble. hot dell xps m1330, will ubuntu shut down when to hot. like the black backround with the text and then off ??? [06:05] I mean being able to move files into a directory owned by root in the graphical interdave as opposed to opening hte terminal and using sudo mv...... [06:05] mralexandro: What's dmesg say?

[06:06] ctmjr: yes, thats it [06:06] alazyworkaholic: They have something on that CD mounted perhaps? [06:07] kb1 [06:07] mikeciance: did you use the gui or command line? [06:07] magical_walrus, is that a package in Ubuntu [06:07] KB1JWQ: de N8PZT [06:07] ctmjr: i used the gui [06:07] bazhang: I believe so [06:07] KB1JWQ: not likely, they're logged in, but I put in the cd after switching to my account, so nothing would happen with the other account unless something happened automatically. [06:08] alazyworkaholic: Yeah. Are they automounting it? :) [06:08] Unless you're root you can't force them to dismount it. [06:08] magical_walrus, not seeing it here [06:08] here's the problem: I made ubuntu start into terminal mode by unchecking system>admin>service>gdm and when I start X with startx command, I don't have any rights into X. How do I start X from the terminal with the usual rights from login directly into X. Thanks! [06:08] KB1JWQ: wher can i find dmesg [06:08] bazhang: Oh [06:08] when I use gksudo does that last until I reboot?

Automounting? I don't know. [06:09] hackulator: it lasts until you close the app. [06:10] mikeciance: open a terminal and type this please sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [06:10] magical_walrus, seems to be in the package atheme-services afaict [06:10] bazhang, Nevermind, I finally found the proccess and just killed it [06:11] KB1JWQ: If automounting is what makes the cd's contents appear on the screen (i.e. what makes it possible to look at the contents without having to do some "mount /this/ /media/here" stuff) I'd like to keep it, but I also want to be able to look at a cd with both users logged in. This should be possible right? [06:12] ctmjr: it says "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in the future release." [06:12] from terminal mode, how do I launch X so I can use Synaptic and change admin options [06:12] will upgrading from alpha karmic to final karmic[when its out] going to be large [like 680-700mb again?] or just the new packages?

Had to kill it [06:13] Buenas [06:14] lmon123: usually you download a couple hundred MB, but for me it usually only takes up a little bit more space once it overwrites. [06:15] ctmjr: -1 gave me the command list, trying -i now based on that [06:15] Alguien habña español? [06:16] mikeciance: it is not a one (1) it is a l as in lol [06:17] alazyworkaholic: ok thanks, so update-manager -d is alright? [06:17] just being sure ^^ [06:20] ctmjr: oh lol. this IRC client uses a bad font, 1 and l are nearly identical [06:20] lmon123: I haven't done update-manager -d myself, but I imagine so. Once my computer didn't upgrade well from one stable to the next so backup important stuff if you can. What I expect is that after the upgrade you won't use much more space. [06:21] is there a video stream thats like radio station stream? [06:21] alazyworkaholic: thnx [06:21] ctmjr: it lists the 3 and says "Invalid driver!" next to each one [06:22] mikeciance: why do you have 3? [06:22] cretsiah: what? [06:22] cretsiah: are you looking for a podcast app? [06:22] Yay ubuntu support. Im having an issue getting my microphone to record i can hear it in the speakers but when recording it soudns scratchy and breaks up [06:22] hello [06:23] I don't get it. Before I put in a disc, couldn't eject it because only another user had permission. Sudo ejected. Put another one in just the same way. This time I was able to eject normally. Anybody have an idea of what's going on?

[06:25] ctmjr: there were 3 INF files that the windows driver installer output [06:26] anyway to get "skype" in ubuntu? :) [06:26] maco im just loking for a visual stream i can add to vlc to test something out === w_a_n_d__ is now known as w_a_n_d [06:26] when I do that it says it is not installed, but when I click on the .deb I downloaded from virtualbox.org it says it is already installed, and even gives me a list of file paths where ti has files installed [06:26] cretsiah: in vlc, in the Media menu, click on Service Discovery and check Shoutcast tv [06:26] mralexandro: yes, you just download it from the skype website [06:27] mralexandro: sure, add medibuntu repository (google medibuntu) then sudo apt-get install skype. [06:27] ok thanx [06:27] cretsiah: that will add a whole playlist of video streams for you to test with [06:29] HELP, I made a mistake format -- mkdosfs /dev/sda1, HOW can I recover it? [06:29] This cd drive is being a real pain. Now I put in another dvd & nothing happened. Sometimes I can get it to work by popping it out & back in, but isn't there a software way to make the cd drive try to check again that there's something there? [06:29] I use ubuntu-8.04 [06:29] alazyworkaholic: how do i add that repostitory? [06:29] mikeciance: ok you need to find the one that is for your card make a dir and put the .inf files in it along with the .cat file and .sys file which should be in the windows folder, then use the gui and uninstall the 3 drivers [06:30] 0_o errr new problem.. now in order to record i have to have mic playback unmuted [06:30] which makes anything i record useless and causes feedback [06:30] alazyworkaholic: sorry saw it now to google it:D [06:31] ctmjr: oooooooo so i need the other files in the same directory? lol. would be nice for the program to specify that :) [06:31] HELP, I made a mistake format -- mkdosfs /dev/sda1, HOW can I recover it? [06:31] mralexandro: np. sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/`lsb_release -cs`.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get -q update && sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get -q update [06:32] mralexandro: type that into a terminal & it ought to take care of anything. If it matters there's a GUI way, but this copy paste's faster. [06:32] Problem: in order to record i have to have mic playback unmuted which makes anything i record useless and causes feedback [06:33] hey can anyone tell me which video cards are ubuntu 9.04 firendly? using radeon x1900 atm but im having many problems with it since direct rendering stops after instaling fglrx just deleted everythign i installed and cant find a solution so considering buying a new card [06:33] anyone run into that issue before [06:33] alazyworkaholic: i got it thanks:D [06:34] ctmjr: ok, need to go back downstairs to the PC to find that .sys file (on a mac now) [06:34] turn on dri in xorg.conf i think [06:35] I cant think of why the playback would have to be unmuted 0_o [06:35] mikeciance: ok, [06:36] alazyworkaholic: do you also know a "simple" html editor, like easy visual styled, like coffee cup for linux? [06:36] anybody know how to change permissions for the login window? i cant change the settings for the login screen. every time i try they just go back to the original settings. [06:37] macius: I think 3xxx & 4xxx ati cards are good. The earlier one's aren't supported by fglrx, but I hear the open-source driver's installed by default work pretty well for those earlier cards & is getting better even for the newer ones. [06:38] hey Zai, you need login as root and change the settings in Login Window [06:38] moorthyvsm: say, what? [06:38] mralexandro: sorry, I don't know anything about that.

[06:50] mikeciance: this is what you do get the zip file you downloaded unzip it on your desktop point ndiswrapper to that dir and try one .inf file at a time then if that does not work you must have the wrong drivers [06:50] oh ok [06:50] Thanks :) [06:51] ctmjr: they don't give you a zip file, they give you an exe self-extractign archive :) [06:52] Qu4R0w, http://paste.ubuntu.com/254383/ [06:52] exit [06:52] ops [06:52] ctmjr: and that archive doesnt even have the INF files in it. you have to run another exe inside that exe and it extracts INF files into your windows folder [06:52] lol [06:53] Dexter: no nid "UUID"? [06:53] mikeciance or use cabextract [06:55] mikeciance: boy their not making it easy are they, the only files ndiswrapper needs are .inf, .sys, .cat and .bin as far as i know [06:55] whenever i turn on my computer i get ubuntu 6 times, for 3 different versions of linux kernels and their recovery thing(i think, idr). i get something.something-11, something.something-13 and something.something-14, how do i hva e just the lastest kernel only option? its annoying going down 9 times for xp [06:56] Dayofswords: set the default option in menu.lst to point to the xp option [06:57] well i dont want the defualt xp, i want their not be 6 ubuntu and just the lastest kernal [06:57] mikeciance: you are using the drivers for windows xp right not vista?

One thing I'd suggest is the you should give KDE a shot (apt-get install kubuntu-desktop). and try it with a different user [07:22] thank you :) i'll give that a go, but why with a different user? [07:22] mikeciance: maybe you want to get something that doesn't push the limits of suck [07:22] kismet: no if its a VM you will need to boot the host system first. therefore its not a dual boot and can't be [07:22] mikeciance: asus one is pretty good :D [07:22] ploooop: well i tried the Dell Mini 10v first, but i had keys getting stuck and coming off and all sorts of crap [07:22] so question, i have never done this befor if i have a question do i just toss it out there? p.s. it is a dual boot ?? [07:22] kismet: you mean dual boot linux anad windows, and also have a windows virtual machine in linux? [07:23] hey [07:23] mikeciance: LOLZ... [07:23] ActionParsnip: boot recovery takes me to a root prompt: im using a liveCD. just WHY i cant run e2fsck if the media isnt mounted or used by any program [07:23] mikeciance: try asus... they make pretty good laptops [07:23] prince_jammys: i mean, haveing a dualboot windows xp and the same windows xp as a virtual machine in ubuntu [07:23] felix--: try with sudo [07:23] !ask | stillcen [07:23] stillcen: 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. :-) [07:23] ActionParsnip: i mean, to a prompt with the media already mounted [07:23] ploooop: it's actually a very nice piece of hardware, and the wifi is the only thing not currently working [07:24] ActionParsnip: im as root while running e2fsck [07:24] kismet: i don't think so, no. [07:24] prince_jammys: ummm okay... thanks [07:24] felix--: your fstab is being read, use sudo umount to unmount them all [07:24] mikeciance: mm, well... you can always get a wifi card.... [07:25] Hello all, Are people up tonight? [07:25] kismet, so you want to install xp and ubuntu in different partitions, and install xp as virtual in ubuntu? [07:25] right; i got Ubuntu on my hard disk, and Window XP on a slave hard disk. i edited the boot/grub/menu.lst with [07:25] crap more coming [07:25] mikeciance: save yourself all the trouble and just get a small protrusion :D [07:25] ploooop: yeah, i may give in and spend some more money. just hurts after dishign out the money for the laptop [07:25] ThreeFinity: create another user. and log in from there. create another user from system>administration>users (As far as i remember, I;m not at home,in college) [07:25] kismet, speaking solely for virtualbox, this is possible if you're /very/ careful, but it almost definitely won't work if you want to install guest additions (which you probably do) [07:25] ActionParsnip: mount does not show sda mounted, even the swap [07:26] mikeciance: meh.... we all have bad.... weeks [07:26] kavurt: kind of... i want to install ubuntu and windows in different partions... and in ubuntu i would like to run the windows xp partition within a virtual machine [07:26] felix--: how adbout /dev/sda1 [07:26] kismet: do you mean having both & with the virtual machine having access to the programs installed on the dual boot partition? [07:26] out of interest [07:26] felix--: you can't mount sda, its a physical drive and not a partition, you can only mount partitions [07:26] jason__: so it is possible.. but with a lot of work?? is that right? [07:26] ActionParsnip: i mean any sda? [07:27] title Window XP root(hd0,1) make active chain loader +1 and when i boot i get the esc option to boot xp but it dont go? [07:27] Huh lots of action tonight. [07:27] peedy: tyvm :) [07:27] felix--: you can boot to live cd instead, then you will only have to umount swap [07:27] p1oooop: does your netbook have ethernet? try setting up NetBoot from another computer and install via ethernet. connecting a usb cd drive and booting the cd is another option [07:27] ActionParsnip: READ [07:27] hi. my hard drive seems to be broken. i run e2fsck each time during boot, but didnt found/repair anything. boot fails at the time of starting gdm. a white square appears but not reaches to show anything. Now im using a livecd /// root@gnewsense:/home/deltah# e2fsck -b 8193 -fckp /dev/sda ///// e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda / Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? /// it isnt mounted, dunno what to do [07:27] ploooop: is this the kind of thing that is supposed to configure on install? [07:27] alazyworkaholic: yeah kind of.... so it doesn't metter where i am if i install a application in virtual machine.. it is available on the dual boot [07:28] ploooop: meaning, if i install again from my SD u think it might work? [07:28] felix--: maybe it IS mounted, live cds tend to do that [07:28] kismet, it's possible with a lot of work, luck (your physical system has to more-or-less match the hardware virtualbox provides), using hardware profiles for the windows machine, and accepting a limited feature set (only 640x480, no 3d graphics, no clipboard sharing, etc.) while windows is in the virtualbox. [07:28] felix--: yes you can boot to live cd which you never mention in your text then read the man pages for fsck and use better options [07:29] mikeciance: does your netbook have ethernet? try setting up NetBoot from another computer and install via ethernet. connecting a usb cd drive and booting the cd is another option. [07:29] peedy: not mine, mikeciance's [07:29] Ben64 mount does not show any media mounted< only /sys /proc etc [07:29] jason__: so it is more recomended to have two different things if i want both? [07:29] can someone please help me out? im trying to give dev/sdb2 more space http://imgur.com/UaK88.png [07:29] ploooop: sorry for the last message, I'm an IRC n00b [07:29] peedy: lolz... np [07:29] peedy: yeah, the usb cd drive is another thing i am being cheap on right now lol [07:30] felix--: use parted to find which partition is the one you wanna check, and fsck it [07:30] mikeciance: mmmmhm [07:30] kismet, it's /much/ easier to have a shared data drive between two different windows installs (one virtual, one physical). You can put all your documents, multimedia files, etc. on there, and access it from both installs. That's pretty easy [07:30] it wont let me resize the extended partition [07:30] kismet: I've looked for ways to make that possible with no luck at all. What jason__ says makes sense. The best I think I could manage was being able to indirectly access the files on the win xp drive by getting to them through linux then using the virtualbox additions to move them into the virtualized windows. [07:30] mikeciance: you can connect ur pc's drive using a IDE to USB cable [07:30] jason__: okay... i thought that i could reduce the work to install the applications twice [07:30] badams: the swap is in the way [07:31] mikeciance: how come I've never tried that :D [07:31] kismet, I'm confident that, unless you're installing a -lot- of programs, you wouldn't be reducing the work [07:31] hi all. i get an error when i try to remove sendmail http://pastie.org/585587 . i have 1gb of memory so that error about not being able to allocate memory shouldn't come out. i don't know if it's an ubuntu, linux or sendmail error. what should i do? [07:31] peedy: all drives have IDE ;) [07:31] badams, I think you can remove swap and extend sdb2 and recreate swap [07:31] th0r: thanks! that worked :D [07:31] jason__: & alazyworkaholic : thank you for your help [07:32] just dragged moved the swap to the left of the empty space [07:32] jason__: what's that shared data drive? How would that work? [07:32] jason__: another question.... stuiped thought maybe [07:32] ActionParsnip: yeah, technically but thats what that cable is called [07:32] peedy: its a PATA cable [07:33] it's an ide cable [07:33] peedy: well, i think my goal for tomorrow is to try the "backports" package thing [07:33] ActionParsnip: hey AP, remember me :D [07:33] peedy: i'll see where I go from there [07:33] jason__: is it possible if i install an application within windows on dual boot on a shared folder... which i than use within the virtualbox network folder... so i have all settings?!?! i don't know if i could explain myself [07:33] p1oooop: its been a long night [07:33] ActionParsnip: it's like talking to a teacher or something :D [07:34] p1oooop: i like to teach. If everyone knew everything the world would be a better place [07:34] mikeciance: succeed and prosper [07:34] alazyworkaholic, for example, we have a partition /dev/xy2 that has a folder \path\to\data on it that we want to share. We mount it in linux (so mount -t ntfs-or-whatever /dev/xy2 /mnt/xy2), then the data to be shared is in /mnt/xy2/path/to/data; we use guest additions to make that a shared folder data-share, and then run 'net use x: \\vboxsvr\data-share' to get it under the x:\ drive in the windows guest [07:34] ActionParsnip: I had that on the tip of my tongue. I'm in India and the shops give such names to hardware. Like PCI Ethernet card is called 'LAN CArd' [07:34] ActionParsnip: You used the rulers on your students? :( [07:34] ActionParsnip: however, that is, sadly, impossible [07:34] can anyone vouch that pidgin fails to connect [07:34] has been so for the last 3 days [07:35] plooop: thanks, hope i do [07:35] kelly: connect to..... [07:35] leaf-sheep: LOLZ :D [07:35] p1oooop: sadly [07:35] Ben64, using msn protocol [07:35] leaf-sheep: no thats harsh :) [07:35] kelly: nope works fine [07:35] mikeciance: it's 1 instead of l by the way [07:35] thanks [07:35] only yahoo had a problem recently [07:35] but the new version fixes it [07:36] kismet, this depends on the application. Most complicated applications will have issues with this (like Office, games, and most things). Some simple things (winscp comes to mind as an example, only because I use it a lot) will have no problem with this. They store all their settings as files in the program folder. A lot of programs make heavy use of the windows registry, which will be the problem [07:36] does aptitude have a perl sqlite package i can install? [07:36] mikeciance: you might even try making the usb drive using UNetBootin. give unetbootin the iso image of ubuntu live cd, connect the flash drive and wait till it makes it bootable [07:36] for DBD [07:36] I'm trying to use minicom inside Gnome terminal on Ubuntu 9.04. Works fine if I do 'sudo minicom -s', however if I leave off the '-s' I get a flickering screen...?? [07:36] jason__: i see.. that helped me alot i guess... and saved me maybe a lot of time and effort to try to get things working [07:36] let me ask my question this way; How can i find the root of my slave drive? have tried hd0,0 hd1,0 hd0,1 [07:37] peedy: i had the image on the USB, it just wouldnt boot from it [07:37] I'm using minicom to connect to a Cisco switch - ttyS0, 9600/8/N/1 etc [07:37] xfce menue einstellung (eintrag weg), hilfe [07:37] german people here?

Virtualbox guest additions set up a virtual SAMBA server at \\vboxsvr that hosts the shared holders you set up in the VM settings [07:41] Hi all, I'm trying to download sourcecode from sourceforge cvs, can anyone give me a hand with the commands? [07:41] jason__: keep the sharename different from the name of the directory you want to share. Works for me only if its different [07:41] stillcen: then if the XP is istalled on the first partition thn it will be hd1,0 [07:42] chrionix, do you need a command to download? [07:42] hey jason__ still there? [07:43] kavurt: I tried this - cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@bettermud.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bettermud co -r HEAD bettermud ... but it times out [07:43] does aptitude have a perl sqlite package i can install? [07:43] for DBD [07:43] peedy, huh, interesting. I've never happened upon a conflict; it probably would have left me pretty confused if I had. Thanks. kismet, apparently [07:43] anoop: type this in terminal, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extra [07:43] i tried root(hd1,0) no dice. this is what i typed in " title Window XP [07:43] root (hd1,0) [07:43] make active [07:43] chain loader +1 [07:43] stillcen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:43] how to format usb flash drive [07:43] user_, using gparted [07:43] jason__: do you know kvm... i read that some guys did it with kvm [07:44] jason__: might have been resovled in the later versions. [07:44] kismet, nope; I've never used. peedy, I suppose. I'll throw it in my box of things-not-to-do [07:45] jason__: thanks a lot. Also, I'm new to virt & trying to decide whether to go with KVM or VirtualBox 3.0. What's your preference? From what I've seen KVM can be faster on the CPU but only gives you a really crappy GPU while the new virtualbox is much better now due to SMP & access to your GPU's hardware. [07:45] user_: depends what format you want [07:46] alazyworkaholic: One thing that i like about VBox is the seamless mode [07:46] user_: you dont simply format a partition, you format it to ext3 or to ext2 or ntfs [07:46] alazyworkaholic, I've never used kvm; so you can deduce that I cannot answer your question, but am happy enough with virtualbox not to be looking for an alternative. It can be quite heavy on my CPU, but with two cores, that's not so bad; even if one core gets pegged, the other one goes right on, and I don't really notice. [07:46] hi there. annoying problem: for no obvious reason, KDM will redirect me to the login form after entering my login name and password (KDE 4.2.2 on Kubuntu 9.04) Any ideas?

[07:50] user_, are you in ubuntu now? [07:50] user_: you can perform formats with CLI. You can use gparted if you wish: gksudo gparted [07:50] Can anyone make me a i386 DEB package for a source............I don't have good net connection to download all the libraries [07:50] shyam_k, you need to install them [07:51] !nvidia [07:51] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:52] ya in ubuntu, how to use cli [07:52] user_: you still havent specified what filesystem you want to format to [07:52] ntfs [07:53] user_: why don't you try using gparted [07:53] user_, for a flash stick? [07:53] user_: how big is your flash drive [07:53] ya [07:53] 2 GB [07:54] user_: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs [07:54] user_, that would be fat32 not ntfs [07:54] ya [07:54] user_: then you can use: sudo mkntfs /dev/partitionnamehere [07:55] user_: if you want fat32 you can use mkdosfs (i think its that I dont have any linux boxes available to me) [07:55] can i format flash in ntfs [07:55] sure [07:56] what is the command should i use to format flash drive === dab^^ is now known as JACKSU [07:56] ActionParsnip: mkdosfs is correct [07:56] user_: Its useless to partition a flash drive to ntfs that small......... [07:56] i got install gparted [07:56] ya [07:56] user_: Start gparted and you will understand it [07:57] has there been any news about nvidia around ubuntu community? [07:57] apparle: why, ntfs is much more robust than fat32 [07:57] its ask for root level [07:58] user_: gksudo gparted [07:58] user_: will run it with proper priveledges [07:59] how are we all doing tonight? [07:59] ActionParsnip: what advantage do you get when using NTFS............plz explain......I don't know much [08:00] there is no pen driver [08:01] apparle: the size does not dictate the file system. The use and need for robustness will drive the decision. FAT32 is very unresilient to things like hard power offs and users yanking devices from systems without proper unmounting. NTFS is much more resiliant to poor user use so is a much better choice than FAT32 [08:01] jason1986, pretty good. Just had some breakfast and arrived at work. hehe [08:01] user_: does the pen drive show up in: sudo fdisk -l ? [08:02] hi friends. in pidgin, when i get new mail notifications, i click on it and appears a box that i have a new mail on hotmail account. when i click on "open mail", it does nothing. how can i solve that? [08:02] what are you having for breakfast? anything good [08:02] apparle: ext3 is great for internal drives but for flash based media it will shorten the life as the journal is written to quite a lot so ext2 is a better choice if you want to use a non-proprietary fs [08:02] jason1986: just a big mug of tea [08:03] how can you argue with that haha [08:03] jason1986, just cereals and a couple of sandwiches [08:03] and here i only have some left over pizza ^_^ [08:04] ActionParsnip: I want to make the USB drive openable in windows also so plz explain FAT32 and NTFS [08:04] i'm not able to download lyrics using quodlibet's lyrics plugin! can anyone help! [08:04] its not working, is there any GUI way to format [08:04] apparle: you should read wikipedia. they will give muh more info than i can [08:04] user_: does the partition show up in the fdisk output?

[08:07] So, like, [08:07] user_: i want you to run: sudo fdisk -l some text will appear and you need to copy it then paste it to www.pastebin.com so we can read it [08:07] If you're streaming your webcam to someone else, or to some site, you can replace the webcam feed with your own video.

[08:09] oguncak: you can reduce the number to 1 or 2 but i dont suggest a 0 count at all [08:09] oguncak: you really shouldn't, let's say a kernel update f..s up, and then you'll be sorry for not having that 3 secs :) [08:10] user_: lets do this way: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [08:10] user_: paste the link that command outputs [08:10] allright.. i think it will be useful when i got a problem :D thanks.. i am a newby!!

[08:37] hi, could somebody help me with conky? I can't get it to stick to the desktop [08:37] I know this is linux its a little differnet, [08:37] I dont get how [08:37] its really annoying when a program terminates using curses terminates with an unhandled exception. can i make python kill curses before doing this so it leaves me with a usable terminal? [08:37] Twisted: use a cd [08:37] In windows it was like always C:\documents and settings\Owner\ music,video,documents desktop all in here, however [08:38] scott1: ubuntu is a distribution of linux. The linux bit is the kernel. The stuff round it is the distribution packages. Different distributions use different packages [08:38] have it tryed installing but the stupid blutooth thing halted me [08:38] pepperphd: No, because what happens there is curses doesn't re-set the terminal to a "happy" state as far as echo/etc is concerned (so its usable by a human), killing it early still won't make it reset that, your best bet is to restart the program, close it and let it shutdown properly [08:38] scott1: thats all stored in /home/$USER which can be abbreviated to ~/ [08:38] i dont understand it like i just download a .zip file with 12 audio tracks, i extract them to music but whhy does the zip file goto desktop and still, and the music goes to music whats the location of the tracks [08:39] What do you mean can be abbreviated? [08:39] scott1: the default location in firefox is to download to dektop [08:39] instead of like c:\ its just /home/ ? [08:39] scott1: dont understand how linux is diffrent? [08:39] scott1: you should look up on the the history of linux [08:39] i dont get it at all :( [08:39] scott1: instead of C:\Documents and Settings\Username it's /home/username [08:39] scott1: abbreviarted means shorten, if you type cd ~/ in terminal you will go to your home directory [08:39] scott1: yea "c:\" in Windows is "/" in Linux [08:40] scott- your home directory in linux is like my documents in windows === jon is now known as Guest82813 [08:40] scott1: as a casual user you dont have to worry about stuff like that as its all abstracted for you [08:41] Can you feed an AVI video into a v4l webcam stream?

You can read ntfs partitions natively from linux [08:43] how can i? [08:43] I like linux alot its so much [08:44] cleaner and more organized i feel [08:44] scott1: we all started at that point once you lern the base commands you lern quick [08:44] scott1: if its an internal partition (not on usb) it will be available to you already [08:44] can you teach me all i need to know? [08:44] ActionParsnip: Aw, you have a friend! [08:44] Yes actionparsnip it is, [08:44] scott1: not possible, you will need to do a lot of websearching [08:44] scott1: you can't learn it all in a night [08:44] scott1: and just exp [08:45] what is this terminal, [08:45] ?

It's just helpful for programmers/developers [08:46] just a type of shell that you can use to interact with the files and processes on your computer [08:46] you can also access it via Ctrl+Alt+F{1-7} with 7 being the xorg (GUI) [08:46] a shell? [08:46] scott1: if you used dos its simler [08:46] scott1: anything else can be done using GUI programs :) [08:46] kbp: and updating, installing software swiftlier in some cases [08:47] what do you mean KBP? [08:48] scott1: just get aquainted with the OS, use it and get comfortable with it. in Ubuntu you dont really need a great lot of knowledge about the OS. As you use it you will get more proficient === flo_p is now known as Guest30705 [08:48] scott1: ... it's like terminal is pretty cool when you know how to use it, but it's not compulsory. You can install/manage your pc, hdd, file manager etc. using GUI programs (GUI = graphical user interface) [08:48] terminal is a gui? [08:48] is that how it works then , [08:48] you can do alot of things inside terminal, you can even surf the web, watch movies, listen to music, chat on internet, etc [08:48] no [08:49] thats what i dont get how you can do all of that in a cmd prompt (or close2 it ur saying) [08:49] terminal is similar to a gui in terms of what you want to use it for but its not very user-friendly [08:49] scott1, gnome is to terminal as windows is to dos..(gui) [08:49] scott1: no, you can type commands in the terminal to achieve things, or you can use graphical apps, e.g. you can copy files in cmd.exe in windows but you can also use explorer [08:49] so [08:49] windows really runs on dos, [08:49] well windows as to cmd.exe :) [08:49] no [08:49] and windows is the gui [08:49] ? [08:49] windows used to [08:49] scott1: win98 and win95 did [08:50] was just making an example [08:50] scott1: in linux thats how it works too in most cases [08:50] yes but since migration to NT kernel into mainstream, they've lost dos [08:50] well not fully anyway [08:50] you lost me psycho [08:50] scott1: gui = programs with graphical and colour stuff. Non-gui = cmd or terminal (i.e. just text base) [08:51] migration to NT KERNEL ? [08:51] whats kernel [08:51] or nt [08:51] !kernel [08:51] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [08:51] scott1, kernel is like core of the operating system.. the heart.. and NT is windows stuff.. it means New Technology.. windows 2000, windows xp, windows vista are all using NT kernel === jon13 is now known as moerch13 [08:51] Kind o like registry? [08:51] anyone have the url for the pocket guide for him? [08:51] scott1: the kernel is the heart of an OS and manages hardware access and memory [08:52] registry is different but some similarities [08:52] hi [08:52] !hi [08:52] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:52] so, i bought this computer right its a HP laptop, [08:52] scott1, in gnome to closest thing to a registry would be gconf-editor [08:52] before windows NT, windows ran on top of dos the way the X server (gnome, KDE, xfce) runs on top of terminals [08:52] If i wanted to switch over everything is that possible? [08:52] guys, i'm using ubuntu 8.10, and when I load the update manager, it doesn't show me the chance to udate to 9.04, any ideas? [08:52] scott1, switch to what? [08:53] chrionix, open a terminal update-manater -d [08:53] chrionix, open terminal and try update-manager -d [08:53] sorry [08:53] chrionix: sudo update-manager -d [08:53] lol [08:53] scott1: your laptop can use Windows/Linux/Ubuntu etc. except MacOS. So you can switch to any OS you like :) [08:53] oldude67: needs sudo duder ;) [08:53] yes that one [08:53] coz, oldude67, ActionParsnip : Ahhh, thanks :) [08:54] scott1: to completely get rid of windows, just boot up the install cd and when it comes to partitioning the drives tell it to reformat everything. i assume you mean you dont want a trace of windows left on your pc? [08:54] coz_ [08:54] sagaci, hey guy [08:54] I have a powerbook g4 and ubuntu 9.04 is installed on it, I also want to put mac os x than install darwin 8.0.1 on top but how do I install the new os without loosing ubuntu? [08:54] coz_: backup your data before upgrading [08:54] sagaci, I dont upgrade guy :) [08:54] this computer right, came with 64 bit technology, i have 4 gb of ram, 250 gig hdd dual core amd turion 64x2 , i have vista home premium 64 bit, which i hate and want to get rid of if i can still do everything i do on here, which is barely play a few games(counter strike source)(starcraft)(diablo), use office(word excel powerpoint etc) and also download and burn music.

I suggest redoing the whole lot with proper partitioning [08:54] !wine [08:54] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [08:55] coz, oldude67, ActionParsnip : Ahhh, thanks :) [08:55] So i am saying if want to access all my stuff on my windows drive, that came default with this computer- how can i just pull all the stuff i need or, delete everything and reinstall ubuntu fresh , [08:55] chrionix, your welcome [08:55] scott1, first thing is to completely defrag your windows install [08:55] hey guys, Im testing the alpha OS Jolicloud, which has ubuntu as the back end of it, I cant seem to theme the jolicloud userinterface though, any ideas on how I could do that? [08:55] ActionParsnip: so just back up and start over?? [08:55] scott1: if you know how to format your hdd, you can install Vista on one partition, Ubuntu on another one, then dual boot and you can switch bw them whenever you like [08:56] ShapeShifter499: its how i'd tackle it but ext3 can be resized to make room. [08:56] KBP: thats what i have now, [08:56] scott1, then simply put in the ubuntu live cd and when it comes to the partitioner you simply slide the slider to adjust the amount of free disk spacke for ubuntu [08:56] space [08:56] damn fingers [08:56] Ridders: thats not a supported ubuntu distro [08:56] a pc can be installed up to 7 operating systems i think....

[08:59] so im trying to install ubuntu 8.1 onto my windows machine after i shrunk my c: drive using windows. how do i tell if ubuntu is using the correct free space? [09:00] Bryce1, if you are using the live cd and after clicking the Install icon you will bet to the partitioner which will have a "slider" for adjusting the ubuntu space [09:00] Bryce1: the installer will see the unallocated space and offer to use it [09:00] rek, which driver do you need? [09:01] actionparsnip, i read that hdparm doesn't really support modifying usb drives [09:01] yes i see the guided option for using largest continuous free space but how do i tell if it is using the correct free space? [09:01] i wonder what karmic support has for usb drives [09:01] proprietary drivers in hardy worked in jaunty there are some problems [09:01] rek: maybe better asking in #ubuntu+1 ? [09:01] ActionParsnip: nvm I found what seems to be a good backup guide here ------> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 [09:01] spo: thats the only way i know, sorry. karmic questions in #ubuntu+1 [09:01] deadly silence on this channel again... phew! :( [09:01] ? [09:01] scott1, you can also look at this as well..http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html [09:01] Bryce1, let me find a nice tutorial with pictures hold on [09:01] haha k thanks [09:01] oh yea actually I have something to ask [09:02] why does my screen keeping going back and forth with the brightness [09:02] well i know how to completely wipe my hard drive but i want to use a certain free space on my c: drive [09:02] scott1: your pc is brand new? [09:02] not BRAND* [09:02] anyone knows how to apply patch for quodlibet's lyrics downloader? [09:02] but [09:02] Bryce1, look here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing [09:02] 6-9 monthso ld [09:02] almost brand? [09:02] when I SSH to server from my desktop to run "sudo apt-get upgrade "; is there away to shut down my computer but the desktop still doing that job? I find it very boring leaving my pc on [09:02] !patch > thedancingdeer [09:02] thedancingdeer, please see my private message [09:02] ok i will thanks [09:03] Bryce1, study the pictures and text ...it will become clear as you work withi the live cd [09:03] kbp: you need to use screen [09:03] ActionParsnip: [09:03] http://pastebin.com/f3e2aa0f1 [09:03] hi, i need proprietary drivers i used with hardy heron now i'm running 9.10 i tried to install some glx packages but in system administration hardware drivers i don't see anything....and my pc after a few minutes stops working and i need to reset help...... bazhang kavurt gogeta and all the channel [09:03] *the server (not the desktop, I mistyped) [09:04] rek: i had problems with proprietary drivers in 9.10, and after a few days worth of frustration went back to 8.04 =\ [09:04] ok thanks coz. i have decided to try wubi [09:04] so how can i acess all my windows stuff [09:04] from here? [09:04] ActionParsnip, using disown might also be appropriate here, if a full-blown screen isn't necessary [09:04] and just delete windows 100% [09:04] pepperphd: help [09:04] user_: ok try: lsof | grep sdb > ~/stuff.txt; pastebinit ~/stuff.txt; rm ~/stuff.txt [09:04] Bryce1, mm ok I have never tested wubi so I cant offer any help with that [09:05] we need support ActionParsnip [09:05] Bryce1, http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Installing_Ubuntu_Linux_on_a_Windows_System_%28Dual_booting%29 [09:05] is this format the pen [09:05] Bryce1, there is another site ^^ [09:05] rek: are you by any chance using an nvidia gfx card? [09:05] ok thanks alot [09:05] Bryce1, you will see on that image that the slider has been moved to the left and turned ubuntu brown for the ubuntu section [09:05] is there a shortcut for opening terminal? [09:05] yep ActionParsnip [09:06] Bryce1, and all you do is click and move the bar there [09:06] if your just idle at desktop like? [09:06] ok [09:06] rek: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [09:06] ActionParsnip: 32mb [09:06] rek: then simply reboot [09:06] k [09:06] ActionParsnip: so there is no such command that let the server do the job by itself (and we don't need to connect to it ... ?)... that's a little bit inconvenient because everytime sudo apt-get upgrade it takes age to download files (>100MB) for upgrade [09:06] i had 173 [09:07] Bryce1, I wouldnt be worried about doing this to that point just for practice ...nothing is changed until you pass that particular dialog [09:07] its resulted http://pastebin.com/f3a552275 [09:07] kbp: cron a job to run the updates [09:07] Bryce1, you can always click the "reset" button on the system [09:07] rek: then use 173 if its more compatible than 180 [09:07] ActionParsnip: in dev i can see v4l and dvb that's cool in 8.04 i did't see that [09:07] yes true [09:07] rek: how is that related to nvidia drivers? [09:08] im going to try wubi first then ill try dual booting through ubuntu [09:08] Bryce1, so go through it a few times up to that point and play with the slider until you understand it [09:08] kbp, you can try "$ sudo apt-get upgrade &", followed by "$ disown", although it might need to be "$ sudo disown" [09:08] ActionParsnip: not related but 's cool [09:08] what are somethings i should know basic stuff in terminal? [09:08] i dont think you have to partition in wubi [09:08] rek: err..ok [09:08] Bryce1, no you dont [09:08] its resulted http://pastebin.com/f3a552275 [09:08] kbp, but you still need to connect to the server to run that command; if you want to run updates automatically, go with ActionParsnip's cron suggestion [09:08] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a3) ActionParsnip in this ok? [09:08] Bryce1, however ...if you are feeling that unsure about the partitioning dont it [09:09] yep [09:09] rek: yeah i'd go with the 173 as you said: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 [09:09] jason__ : so if i use sudo apt-get upgrade & disown, then I dont need to keep the connection after i run that command right? I dont mind to connect to it to execute a command [09:09] Bryce1, although at some point you will want to install it on it's own patition and avoid wubi problems which I have read about [09:09] !sudo [09:09] 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) [09:09] :) [09:09] !superuser [09:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about superuser [09:10] !sudo help [09:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about sudo help [09:10] well i have a 30GB unallocated space for it im just not sure how to do it exactly [09:10] scott1: the reason there is nearly no virus on Linux is because of this "sudo" thing [09:10] really? [09:10] kbp, that's right. screen (as ActionParsnip suggested) is another good option; you can reconnect and check on its progress. With disown, it's difficult to see what's going on with your process after you disown it. [09:10] !root | scott1 Is this the info you were looking for [09:10] scott1 Is this the info you were looking for: 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 [09:10] Bryce1: if there is unallocated space on the drive, you can tell the installer to autoassign that space. so you dont have to worry it will be handled for you [09:10] you mean you cant like get viruses like windows on here? [09:11] how to i tell the installer to do so? [09:11] kbp: linux viri do exist. They just arent very wild: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware [09:11] scott1, there are viruses for linux but they mainly hit server installations if at all [09:11] scott1: the vast majority of viruses target windows machines [09:11] Bryce1: you need to tell it to use the largest contiguous unallocated space [09:11] !virus | scott1 [09:11] scott1: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [09:11] scott1, I have never experienced a linux virus myself [09:11] !ruler [09:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about ruler [09:11] thank you jason__ [09:12] yes but it selects a wrong drive [09:12] Bryce1: or if you partition the space yourself and mark the mount points appropriately, this will work also [09:12] Bryce1, how many drives do you have ? [09:12] 2 [09:12] its resulted http://pastebin.com/f3a552275 [09:12] Bryce1, ok you have to separate hard drives? [09:12] Bryce1, what is on the secondary one? [09:12] so unplugg one? [09:13] Bryce1, no [09:13] its a terabyte drive [09:13] just a file drive [09:13] Bryce1, and you have info already on that drive? [09:13] yes [09:13] ActionParsnip: I thought about virus before (and even tried to determine if the packages on repositories are safe - I worry some idiots would put a small script inside their program and put it on repository for people to use) === tobias is now known as Guest72764 [09:13] Bryce1, well if it is choosing that drive just defrag that drive first and then partition part of it ...say 60 gigs for ubuntu [09:14] well i want to use the other drive [09:14] Bryce1, separate hard drives in a system is a far better way to dual boot [09:14] kbp: its a possibility, you run that same risk with ppa repos [09:14] Bryce1, doesn it reconize the primary drive? [09:14] yes it recognizes it [09:14] kbp: lol that has happond the repos have been hacked in the past but they catch it fast [09:14] Bryce1, ok did you choose that drive as the one the use? [09:14] lsof | grep sdb > ~/stuff.txt; pastebinit ~/stuff.txt; rm ~/stuff.txt [09:14] resulted http://pastebin.com/f3a552275 === Guest72764 is now known as tobbesanda [09:15] how do i find out the size of a directory? [09:15] no proprietary drivers in use help!!!! [09:15] installed it [09:15] nothing happens [09:15] rek, lspci | grep -i vga [09:15] when i choose the guided for most free space it chooses the terabyte drive first [09:15] ActionParsnip: [09:15] my pc will stop working soon [09:15] spo, to find the size of all files and folders in /path/to/folder, run "du -hs /path/to/folder" [09:15] ActionParsnip: actually it was just last week or so, there was a guy saying that apport trying to send private info (gmail passwd etc.) to the developers when Firefox crash...

[09:17] rek, should be as simple in 9.04 as well [09:17] it's a bug? [09:17] how to do it, and i want to format the flash drive [09:17] rek: you must uninstall the old driver before installing a differernt one too. you can use: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia* && sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [09:17] rek, reboot the system again...not just restart x by the way [09:18] ActionParsnip: it's automatic [09:18] i no [09:18] rek: i dont trust automatic stuff [09:18] scott1: windows always runs as root linux does not it runs in a user mode [09:18] the terminal says removing 180 when installing 173 [09:18] windows only runs as root, if you create account to do so, [09:19] rek: cool, ok then if that doesnt work try the next one down [09:19] maco: never fails. i keep getting messages to Dayofswords in my hilight window :P [09:19] scott1: thats why stuff like vireses and spywhere are very hard t code for linux [09:19] you can create limited accts [09:19] to [09:19] ?

(11:40:16 AM) monox: AcidBurn123: you "may" face problems with Free apps that don't support 64-bit, though I've never heard of one. you "will" face problems with several closed apps such as flash player which may fail to work with the provided 32bit-wrapper layer [09:41] hi, a collegue of mine has issues with the toolbars in openoffice.org. they show up as text only, whilst they are set to icons only (so instead of a B icon you see 'bold text', etc). resetting them to defaults doesn't help either, any ideas? [09:41] AcidBurn123: you can run native beta 64bit flash, it works REALLY well [09:41] And I know I haven't deleted the linux partition, as I can still get in to my stuff from livecd, as I am doing now. =/ [09:42] ActionParsnip: so is the change recommended? [09:42] ActionParsnip: well, really well is an overstatement but it runs pretty descent. still a huge cpu hog [09:42] AcidBurn123: deends on use and system. If you have 2Gb ram and only browse the web and chat then 64bit won't give you much [09:42] freakynl: true ut you can help that by using a slicker browser ;) [09:43] how to format flash drive on ubuntu which cannot format on xp pls [09:43] user_: does the usb device show up in disk manager? [09:43] user_: in xp [09:43] ActionParsnip: err so if i change browser flash suddenly will stop using 100% cpu on certain applets? [09:43] ActionParsnip: today I'll buy another 2GB RAM so I'll have 4GB in total. Also I have two hard drives 500GB + 160GB [09:43] yes [09:43] freakynl: uses a lot less than that in my firepup === alankila1 is now known as alankila [09:44] AcidBurn123: for 4gb ram i'd definately hit 64bit [09:44] bye [09:44] user_: then create the partition in there and format it [09:44] ActionParsnip: better performance right? [09:45] AcidBurn123: 32bit can only reference little over 3gb ram [09:45] AcidBurn123: without pae, 64bit will give you an easier route to getting access [09:45] doesn't work and gave mme problems at the boot such as busy display etcccc [09:45] hi guys. got a simple question. I've got some scripts in ~/bin that I want to use in X (using run dialog, not terminal) but X doesn't recognise the path I set in shell init scripts. Should I set the path again in .xinitrc?

[10:32] KingOfDos|lap, gdm as nothing to do with updates notification [10:32] because when usery logs in he gets the default desktop [10:33] I am on an intel X3100. i used to have compiz all the time. A while ago, I accidentally changed my visual effects to "None" I can't Turn compiz on with GNOME's Appearance dialog anymore. I should use fusion-icon for that but the setting isnt saved for fresh sessions. any idea? [10:33] joaopinto - I know, but do you know what I mean about the off button with log out written in the top right hand corner ? [10:33] vadi01, you would need to symlink their desktop dir to yours, but they will also have write acess to your desktop dir [10:33] joaopinto: ok. whats the command? [10:34] joaopinto: actually the users are getting authentication via an AD server... [10:34] vadi01, is not a simple command, you need to understand how a symbolic link works [10:35] joaopinto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CorporateUbuntu under section User Login Script is what i tried [10:35] Hello does it possible to set "wget" command to download files to other path(folder) and not to the current path ?

[10:37] thenano is it somethign you could walk me through setting up? or help me find instructions? [10:37] has anyone got any ideas about my issue? [10:37] Tamnakz: wait plz [10:38] Is there not an ncurses interface for selecting the apt mirror to use? [10:38] voodoor, no, selecting an apt mirror is just as simple as editing /etc/apt/sources.list, any console editor will do [10:40] is this is a stupid question to be asking or something? I have been searching for the answer for a few days now, google and on this chan with no luck.. does the answer exist ? heh [10:41] Kingsy101, it is not a stupid question, but you really should be careful when removing a core system package like gdm [10:41] Kingsy101, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop === apot is now known as Guest26677 [10:41] aguitel, isn't 3.5.2 the latest version? [10:41] what partition type is best for a partition that i want to acces from both ubuntu and windows xp ? [10:41] probably removing gdm did also remove a dependent package which provides the panel you are looking for [10:41] nahoj, ntfs [10:42] Thenano_ I'll be back in a few minutes, have to reboot [10:42] I know.. I didnt do it intentional tbh, I was trying to get apache and php installed and somehow it got deleted I have no idea how [10:42] joaopinto: ok ty [10:42] kavurt: if you enable others repo ,there is firefox 3.6 [10:42] nahoj, both ntfs and vfat work [10:42] isnt there an initial setup for xorg.conf since im gonna be using the open driver [10:42] Kingsy101, that is the concerning paart "I have no idea how", packages are not removed unless you explicitely agreed with it [10:42] nahoj, ntfs may incur some efficiency penalty due to the use of the 'fuse' driver [10:43] how do i access a network file from command prompt say on ip 192.169.0.1? [10:43] !fuse [10:43] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems.

[10:48] After I set init=/bin/bash at the grub boot up menu. How would I continue normal bootup without restarting? [10:48] Kingsy101: What menu are you looking for? [10:48] rashed2020, init 2 [10:48] !resetpanels | Kingsy101 [10:48] Kingsy101: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [10:49] rashed2020 - its a panel that got installed as a type of update when I first installed the operating system, it was to the right of the clock, and said log out [10:49] once you clicked it it gave options to log out re-start shutdown etc etcd [10:50] Does joaopinto's suggestion fix it? [10:50] 1 sec I am doing it now [10:50] I seem to remember there being a initial configuration for xorg.conf in terminal that asked a series of questions with prompts and generated a semi-configured xorg.conf [10:50] i dont remember the command tho [10:50] joaopinto: I get "init: unable to send message: Connection refused" [10:51] ObamaFly, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg did that in the past, I am not sure it works since most of the config is out of xorg now [10:51] rashed2020, sudo [10:51] joaopinto: ta de pinto duro nessa hoa? [10:51] !pt | aguitel [10:51] aguitel: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [10:51] joaopinto - cool that command fixed it, all my short cuts are gone but thats ok they can easily be added again.. thanks :) [10:51] it does still work [10:51] thx [10:52] joaopinto: Same =/ Not it also has "sudo: unable to resolve host (none)" [10:52] i didnt want to start from scratch this takes long enough as it is lol [10:52] Can someone help me get ekiga to work for video chat in aim or yahoo? [10:52] rashed2020, since you override the regular init I am not sure you can resume the boot [10:53] Bah, thanks. [10:53] Tamnakz, like I said 1 hour ago, it is not possible [10:53] rashed2020, it is possible when you start into single user mode, but that is a different story :) [10:53] as other have mentoined, and as many websites tell me, it is. I simply don't know enough to do it on my own [10:54] rashed2020, you cannot continue normal bootup after doing init=/bin/bash [10:54] Tamnakz, if may sites tell you it is possible theren there should be instructions there ;) [10:55] there are, but in a computer language far beyond my knowledge [10:55] hi [10:55] heyhey all [10:56] any idea how to graph dynamic data in calc?

I can't activate compiz again using the Appearance dialog. Any idea why? [11:00] gauravsrf, we are not talking the same language, using remote desktop has nothing to do with scanning [11:00] gauravsrf, you need to know the IP address of the system you want to connect to [11:00] alright, but skype will do chat, with video? [11:01] Tamnakz: yes [11:01] Tamnakz, yes it does [11:01] ok now for the actual issue that started all of this --> is anyone in here familiar with apache? check this out ---> http://pastie.org/585693 <--- the command that caused it is at the top of the pastie [11:01] joaopinto: tried but not able to scan the local windows computer so any guide [11:02] <^Phantom^> Aww, unsupported. :( [11:02] Tamnakz: not natively no, but there is other program who can talk to skype,skype can't chat with video , it need to use a call and then you will have video. take a look at gizmo please , it has video as well , runs under linux and windows and can chat with every IM out there [11:02] I need a help with sound card [11:02] thenano_ gizmo5?

[12:51] buch: right, that's definitely the problem - i upgraded one day and started seeing lockups. i attributed it to upgrading from flash9=>10. so i'm trying to go back to flash9 to avoid these lockups [12:51] joaopinto: I think that probably depends on what problem they are trying to solve, plus they will still have the old one installed unless they remove it themselves. [12:52] joaopinto: Why do you think it's a bad idea? [12:52] I've got ubuntu 9.04 on an old windows 98 PC and it runs slower than XP did, how can I make it faster? [12:52] flamezz: How much RAM? [12:53] does anyone know about the psmouse module? [12:53] hi [12:53] I run an ubuntu hardy server... three weeks ago (approx), something happened to my ssh keys. I've done nothing to the server, it is highly unlikely that it is compromised (no signs of it either), and the only difference I can see is that host keys in .ssh/known_hosts look different. Previously, the hostname was also hashed here, but now the host IP isn't hashed, and ssh has asked to verify all host keys again even though I've connected to them before. [12:53] jwyg, 256 MB [12:53] flamezz: I think you meant to send that to me? [12:54] oh yeah sorry lol [12:54] g [12:55] ok I am not finding anything conclusive for the PPA in Launchpad [12:55] Dr_Willis: would you know what would be the best way for me to update to the latest stable kernel? [12:55] zetheroo2, that is completely unsupported, and will likely introduce more problems [12:55] Hello , i connected to my Ubuntu new hdd how can i preform search on my HDD for specific file? [12:55] sebsebseb, because there could be userland applications not compatible with the newest kernel, and also 3rd party modules that you may use [12:55] will ubuntu excutes ~/something before entering cli after boot? [12:56] zetheroo2: i just did a apt-get update, and upgrade here for the latest ubuntu kernel upgrade. [12:56] bazhang: hmm ... [12:56] zetheroo2: or are you refering to the source from kernel.org ? [12:56] does anyone know where i might be able to look for documentation on psmouse module? [12:56] Dr_Willis: yeah I was thinking of the .30 release [12:56] zhxk: what are you wanting to run? [12:56] zetheroo2: you got to use source I guess.. or the ppa repos. I dont mess with the kernel much any more. Not had a need to. [12:56] sebsebseb: any ideas? [12:57] jwyg: the kernel sources, if it's included in the kernel, see the /Documentation dir [12:57] Dr_Willis:script? [12:57] flamezz, apart from adding more ram, you cannot run gnome and have it faster, try lxde openbox or something similarly lighter [12:57] zhxk: care to be a LITTLE more percise as to what it is you are trying to run? theres /etc/rc.local - have fun.. [12:57] flamezz: ok yeah 256MB RAM is not that much, but with the correct distro you can breathe a lot of life into that old computer, is Ubuntu 9.04 the correct distro? Maybe and maybe not, Puppy Linux on the other hand or Damn Small Linux sure, since they are specifically made for old hardware. So remove Ubuntu and put one of those on? Maybe and I would recommend Puppy Linux or well a version of it since there are [12:57] many to choose from. However first you can make sure you have double the amount of your RAM as the size for SWAP space and try Ubuntu like that. I also think you can speed it up by disabling certain in the background startup procces's or something. [12:57] jwyg: modinfo psmouse might help as well [12:58] sebsebseb, please dont recommend dsl/puppy here [12:58] why doesn't possible apply normal visual effects on my jaunty guest system, in virtualbox? [12:58] bazhang: whoops and ok no problem [12:58] hbekel:many thanks! will look now! [12:58] bluboy: virtualbox doset support the 3d acellerated drivers [12:58] sebsebseb: thanks man, I'll get puppy linux [12:58] bluboy, because it uses the virtualbox graphics, not 3D [12:58] flamezz: no [12:58] bazhang: thanks [12:59] Dr_Willis:ok, thanks [12:59] If one wants to discuss puppy linux.. theres #puppylinux :) [12:59] flamezz: Ubuntu is better :) [12:59] lol [12:59] ok thanks [12:59] anyone in here familiar with apache and php on ubuntu? I cant get my apache server started cos it says there is a syntax error in the config file to do with a php module.. so it looks like its not installed BUT when I try apt-get install php5 it shows as installed.. [12:59] php --version also reports back like php is not installed [12:59] flamezz: Do the SWAP suggestion I gave, try Xubuntu even. Or some other light waight window manager, Fluxbox, LXDE, etc. [13:00] hi all [13:00] !lamp | Kingsy101 [13:00] Kingsy101: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [13:00] flamezz: Xubuntu uses XFCE [13:00] erUSUL - that wont solve my problem [13:00] Kingsy101: the cli version of php is a separate package from the apache module. [13:00] is there a fix out for xorg showing high CPU usage please ? [13:01] Pici - hmm I know its telling me to install that but that still doesnt explain why I cant get apache started [13:01] What is meant by "to boot into init 1 mode"? [13:01] Stu-Boy, which video card and driver [13:01] Kingsy101: becouse you read that whole page and followed the tips about troubleshooting the installation ? or becouse you do not want to read anything ? [13:01] bullgard4: booting to 'runlevel 1' but ubuntu dosent really use runlevels like that any more. [13:01] hbekel: i'm trying to undo 'modprobe -r psmouse' and 'modprobe psmouse proto=imps' any ideas? [13:01] built in intel - sec [13:01] jwyg: ideas about what? [13:02] Dr_Willis: Ah, thank you very much for explaining. [13:02] about how to reset to default? [13:02] erUSUL - no, because I have been trying to solve this problem for a few days now and me + serveral ppl on irc havnt fixed it yet so I am guessing the fix isnt in a simple troubleshooting guide [13:02] bullgard4: ubuntu calls that recovery mode (in grub menu). you can « sudo telinit 1 » too [13:02] my keyboard and mouse are disabled [13:02] erUSUL: Thank you for commenting. [13:02] bullgard4: puppy bsaicially runs in runlevel 2. 1 is i think single user mode. and 6 is 'shutdown/reboot' [13:03] i may be backwards. :) [13:03] erUSUL: any response re virt-manager? [13:03] !runlevels | bullgard4 Dr_Willis [13:03] bullgard4 Dr_Willis: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [13:03] psypher246: no; i did not have any problems with it if i run it with gksudo [13:03] hbekel: about how to reset them to their default? i've managed to lock myself out of my keyboard and trackpad! [13:03] so u can select para or full and choose any install media? [13:04] thats ... oddly worded about how the runlevels work.. :) [13:04] Pici: Thank you. [13:04] bullgard4: You're welcome [13:04] jwyg: the psmouse module probably has nothing to do with it [13:04] jwyg: it's rather xorg i'd guess [13:04] hbekel: i think it does - see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7800070 [13:04] Dr_Willis: hey; i did that factoid ;P oddly worded ? you can improve it [13:04] hbekel: after reset it stopped working [13:04] Pici - is there a way to completely start again? i.e remove EVERYTHING to do with php5 php apache mysql phpmyadmin etc etc ALL conf files so I can do a complete fresh installation.. [13:05] hbekel: and now i'm trying to undo what i did as root in safe mode [13:05] the error must be in a conf file somewhere.. [13:05] sorry for the delay - its the intel gma 950 chipset [13:05] erUSUL: 'ubuntu runlevels 2,3,4,5 are all 'equal' by default, rulevel 0 is .... runlevel 1 is..... [13:05] erUSUL: the use of 'execpt' made me have to stop and think about it... heh.... [13:05] I still need to track down some good upstart docs/guides for beginners. [13:06] jwyg: to undo the proto action you can 'modprobe -r psmouse; and modprobe psmouse' again [13:06] lol I cant beleive I am having so much trouble installing apache with php heh [13:06] Dr_Willis: well i'm not native english speaker (galician and spanish) so maybe you are right --> /msg ubottu runlevels is Your text here ...

[13:12] hbekel: thanks for your help! [13:13] Could anyone help me with a question on usb booting? [13:13] does anyone know if it's possible to run 64bit os on 32bit os with virtualization. i read it can be done with kvm and virt-manager yet i have posted forum posts and requested assistance several times on irc to just make virt-manager work, so far it is completely useless to me. any assistance would help. please i have been searching forever [13:13] can someone help me? [13:13] !someone | alessandro_ [13:13] alessandro_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:14] Pici - /etc/apache2/modules/libphp5.so doesnt even exist at all, so why the hell is it pointing there ? heh [13:14] psypher246: VBox can do it [13:14] ju [13:14] richardcavellafk: how i just tried, told me my cpu is i686 [13:14] sorry :) my problem is abaut the connection in internet with sabayon 4.2 [13:14] where is libphp5.so usually installed ? [13:14] Kingsy101: try searching for that file libphp5 [13:14] ok, i've got flash9 running on jaunty x64 w/64bit firefox. video but no sound - anyone share some help? i'm a pulseaudio user === richardcavellafk is now known as richardcavell [13:15] alessandro_, this is #ubuntu support only [13:15] alessandro_: try #sabayon === Taube is now known as taube [13:15] psypher246: I don't know how, but it's documented to be possible [13:15] where can i ask fo sabayon support? [13:15] psypher246: to state the obvious, you do have a 64-bit capable CPU, don't you? [13:15] richardcavell: and do you know how to get cvirt-manager to work? [13:15] alessandro_: see above [13:15] is there an easy way to turn a program name into a pid only output? [13:15] thankyou, goodbye [13:16] alessandro_: good luck [13:16] richardcavell: no i don't, thats why i'm asking i have read it doesn;'t matter [13:16] psypher246: You need a 64-bit CPU to run a 64-bit operating system, period. [13:17] psypher246: if you want to run a 64-bit operating system on a 32-bit CPU, you need an emulator, not a virtualisation software [13:17] Hey all [13:17] qe2eqe: pidof [13:17] richardcavell psypher246 no I am pretty sure there's a way to run 64bit OS's on a 32bit host now days with Virtualbox [13:17] richardcavell: ok then if i can get a 64bit cpu how do i make virt-manager work? [13:17] sebsebseb: yes, but he's saying he has a 32 bit processor [13:17] I have an eeepc and many of the programs I run are too large for the screen resolution. Is there any fix to this? [13:17] indus - YAY fixed it.. [13:17] richardcavell: yes with a 32bit processor [13:18] Kingsy101: how, changed path? [13:18] psypher246: I only have experience with VirtualBox [13:18] it turns out there isnt or has ever been a modules directory in apache [13:18] !grub [13:18] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [13:18] is the only way to launch ubuntu from flash is as a "live session"? [13:18] erUSUL, thanks, that feels alot better than awk [13:18] sebsebseb: cut it out. You can't run a 64-bit OS on a 32-bit CPU. [13:18] are there any downsides to that? [13:18] indus - yea point it to the right place.. I used locate [13:18] Kingsy101: so where is libphp5 [13:18] indus - just curious what does this mean when i start apache [13:18] richardcavell: pretty sure that I read that it is possible with Virtualbox, also isn't this offtopic for this channal? #vbox ? :) [13:18] Kingsy101: please file a bug [13:19] apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [13:19] sebsebseb: It is possible with VirtualBox - but ONLY if you have a 64-bit CPU. [13:19] indus - ermm 1 sec I will show you the path [13:19] sebsebseb: The host OS may be 32-bit. But the CPU must be 64-bit, from what I've read. [13:19] thanks guys, so still no idea how to get virt-manager to work? [13:19] sebsebseb: Virtual Box is a virtualisation package. The OS still runs natively on the CPU. [13:19] sebsebseb: And not only 64-bit - it must support VT-x/AMD-V too. [13:19] grawity: ah ha that makes sense [13:19] indus - /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so <--- that is where it installed as default for me [13:20] kk [13:20] indus - so what does that apache message mean ? [13:20] hola [13:20] grawity: thanks [13:20] alguien me ayuda a restaurar el grub??? [13:20] psypher246: I don't think you'll find an emulator that can run a whole operating system [13:20] Kingsy101: which message?

[13:48] indus: ok [13:48] boot live then reboot [13:48] norpan111: ideally you only get software from the Ubuntu repos, if you get stufff from elsewhere, you may get bad code, however ppa's on luanchpad I think are usaully alright [13:49] unless your using karmic, then reinstall your card from BIOS [13:49] zer0c00l: see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=218785 [13:49] norpan111, go to system adminstration software sources and select third party software tab [13:49] norpan111: and obviously offical websites for projects should be alright, but most stuff you can just get from the repo anyway, and for later versions of major stuff there will probably be a ppa [13:49] sebsebseb: just watch out for my ppa :D [13:50] okey [13:50] Thanks for all the help [13:50] zer0c00l, I have a similar problem with my laptop, see what indus says.

[13:51] like a million [13:51] indus: ok [13:52] btw, for everyone's info, newer version of ubuntu will make it easier to add ppa's i hear [13:52] zer0c00l: dont forget to restart after you add that line [13:52] zer0c00l: are you using latest ubuntu 9.04? [13:52] indus: well that sounds ok, but ideally in my opinion they should provide updates from the repo for major stuff instead of these ppa's, instead of just providing security updates [13:52] norpan111, once you have added those new sources, you will need to update your sources.list this can be done by sudo apt-get update === MOUD_away is now known as MOUD === guillaume_ is now known as Freko28 [13:53] bazhang, okey, i just pressed "reload" and lot of stuff came on update [13:53] bazhang: hmm a question, is recommending a ppa without explaining the problems with it ok in this room?

[14:07] Dr_Willis: could that have something to do with it? [14:07] jwyg: its more likely the upgrade dis somthing then that modprobe command did. [14:07] Well, I'll ask anyway.

[14:47] Dr_Willis: worst came to worst, is there a way i could back up everything and load a fresh copy of ubuntu? [14:47] Most of the "everything" is contained in your homedir, so backing it up is easy. [14:47] AL2 ok listen, type in terminal aplay -l [14:48] jwyg: you can always back stuff up and reinstall [14:48] jwyg: i keep /home on its ownpartition - that makes it much easier [14:48] how can i back up using root? [14:48] what could be some reasons for a game not running as smooth as it would on windows, please /q [14:48] jwyg: you just copy the stuff to whever you want to back up to.. [14:48] indus: got it [14:48] al2 yeah whats the output [14:48] JACKSU: what game are you trying to run [14:48] jwyg: you might want to boot the live cd of the latest release and see if your stuff works in That.. as a final test. [14:48] Dr_Willis: good call! [14:49] taget: Quakeworld [14:49] i put it on [14:49] Dr_Willis: yeah i guess i could back up to an external hd [14:49] jwyg: if it dont work in a live cd.. well theres wreird issues going on.

[14:51] do that in terminal telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl [14:51] I have an installation disc but the only files on there are .EXE [14:51] eraggo: the system/kernel/os will release it when needed [14:51] JACKSU: did you try any other resolutions or settings ? [14:51] so that's not problem at all? [14:51] tim2: you can not afaik. but ask in ##windows [14:51] indus: in sec [14:51] Can do, thanks erUSUL. [14:52] eraggo: no; no problem. Unused RAM == wasted ram [14:52] chessnutmushroom: do you have a "gateway" line in /etc/network/interfaces? [14:52] sebsebseb: can u help him? I HAVE to go now [14:52] no taget, because i only forced 100hz in one resolution [14:52] yes [14:52] erUSUL: thanks for that information :) [14:52] eraggo: it releases it as needed.. dont worry about it.. this is not windows. :) [14:52] !memory [14:52] Some helpful links on memory mangagment include http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html [14:52] and i have removed the GATEWAY from ifcfg [14:52] cpufreqd: unhandled keyword ac, anyone help? [14:52] Dr_Willis: created a new user, and keyboard and mouse still don't work.. but it does say there are problems initialising HAL [14:52] chessnutmushroom: could you pastebin that file (sanitised as you think best) [14:52] jwyg: sounds like some deeper issue then. bmmer. [14:53] Dr_Willis: also xorg.conf has commented things out and said that hal is handling them [14:53] sorry its for centos [14:53] jwyg: may be easier to backup/reinstall instead of upgradeing. [14:53] in /etc/network [14:53] sebsebseb: use this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound al2 maybe you can read this too, i gtg [14:53] jwyg: i would test with a live cd first. [14:53] Dr_Willis: its like 2001 [14:53] indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/254541/ [14:53] ok [14:53] * Dr_Willis opens the pod bay doors. [14:53] al2 ok cool, devices are ok [14:53] al2 u sure u using 9.04? [14:54] !grub [14:54] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:54] Dr_Willis: ha! ok i'll try and get hold of a live CD [14:54] indus: yes i am [14:54] JACKSU: do any other games have the same problem or just QW? [14:54] al2 so hardware all looks fine [14:54] al2 just 1 min [14:54] taget: i have only tried quakeworld, i dont play any other games :( and im new to linux :X [14:54] ciao [14:55] JACKSU: try Nexuiz! [14:55] indus: ok [14:55] kickAss, Any luck on my issue [14:55] Dual monitor, anyone? [14:55] Dr_Willis: you're pretty sure problem is unlikely to be related to psmouse? [14:55] !xinerama [14:55] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [14:55] alexsander, yep dual here [14:55] chessnutmushroom: i imagine the syntax is more or less the same, if not identical. [14:56] ugliefrog, is there a nice and easy howto somewhere? [14:57] gartral that works in wine? [14:57] it just doesnt use it [14:57] i have to add a manual route to get in listed [14:57] alexsander, what do u mean...not working for u? [14:57] this is a vm, does that matter? [14:57] indus: i have my trust in u [14:57] JACKSU: the only thing i can find is you need to disable multimonitor support possibly in the nvidia control panel [14:58] chessnutmushroom: well, it should be transparent from the point of view of the guest operating system, assuming the host is configured properly. [14:58] indus: my relationship depedn on it [14:58] chessnutmushroom: you might have better luck bugging the centOS folks directly. [14:59] al2 huh what? [14:59] al2 lol === drazak is now known as draz|lab [14:59] al2 i dont have much time [14:59] indus: so no help from u? [14:59] al2 can u go to system>administration>systemmonitor and check for a process called pulseaudio and kill it [15:00] JACKSU: ive seen some badly written games that try to fullscreen across both monitors.. sort of annoying. [15:00] indus: how should i kill it? [15:00] JACKSU: then ihave many games that properly fullscreen [15:00] its helps when you use the right subnet mask, doh! [15:00] al2 right click and kill process [15:00] al2 then open music player and see (hear) for sound [15:00] ah Dr_Willis i dont have dual monitors :( [15:00] i gtg now, sorry [15:01] !sound > al2 [15:01] and taget thanks dude, i will try that when i can :D [15:01] al2, please see my private message [15:01] JACKSU: whats sad is that some big name apps also have the same issue.. virtualbox/vmware USED to have the problem.. and many java apps.. but those seem to be fixed now. [15:01] JACKSU: i still get an occasional app with a splash screen that splashes to the border of the monitors. :) [15:01] yeah Dr_Willis its a shame, the only reason i use windows is for this game :((( [15:01] what does it mean to have chroot in a machine? just have root access? [15:01] otherwise i would be only linux [15:02] al2 but thats complicated, can u go to system>preferences>sound adn check for sound [15:02] I just installed a new gigabit network card. The PC is using that card, but its not recognizing it as gigabit. Almost everything else on net is successfully running as gigabit. [15:02] Anything I can do to manually change speed [15:02] ltcabral_: no that you change your rootfs (/) to one on that machine fom an already running kernel [15:02] JACKSU: thas why i bought a Wii. :) for games. [15:03] JaneDoe: you can use ethtool to force it [15:03] indus: i did and nothing [15:03] hehe [15:03] erUSUL: thanks [15:03] erUSUL: thanks I'll man it [15:03] JaneDoe: sudo ethtool -s ethn speed 1000 [15:04] How is it possible for a live x session to switch tty's? Mine was tty7 Saturday, go to sleep, wake up... it's on tty9 (Sunday), go to sleep, wake up... today its on tty11. [15:04] indus: what next? [15:04] Dr_Willis, alsa_mixer runs a program in the terminal kind of like nano that lets you type m to mute/unmute. but i want to unmute at a certain time of the day with a script. Is there one that takes command line arguments that will let me do that? [15:04] trenchcoat: you sure you dont have lots of X sessions going? [15:04] Flynsarmy: the alsactrl tool i think [15:05] erUSUL: how can I check what the speed is set at? I've been measuring the hard way. [15:05] I've not started any extras but as crazy as things have been it's possible [15:05] How do I check? [15:05] indus: r u here? [15:05] erUSUL: ifconfig doesn't give that info [15:07] how do I determine how many file descriptors are in use? [15:08] Dr_Willis, the short answer is no, I have not started any extra x sessions. [15:08] can anyone recommend a modeline generator please [15:08] erUSUL: ethtool eth1 gives a few "operation not permitted"s [15:08] JACKSU: what does that do? [15:08] JaneDoe, :prefix sudo [15:08] indus: r u here? [15:09] Can ubuntu desktop 9.04 install mount an existing ufs filesystem? [15:09] it allows my monitor to use custom refresh rates kickAss [15:09] kickAss: ah thx [15:09] JaneDoe, u 're welcome [15:09] JACKSU: I usually do something like install read-edid then you can get modeline output suitable for inclusion in an xorg file from results of: sudo get-edid | parse-edid [15:09] JaneDoe: are you using sudo ? [15:10] JACKSU, ohh...i dint know about that.... [15:10] am now. thanks [15:10] robysath: should do, yes. pass "-t ufs" as an arguement to mount. [15:10] trenchcoat: could be sime how the hibernate.suspend stuff is goofing up badly and making X crash/restart.. sounds like you may want to reboot soon see if it clears itup [15:10] JaneDoe: sudo ethtool eth1 should give the current settings for most things [15:11] hello [15:11] erUSUL: ya got it. it says Gigabit, but its not moving that fast [15:11] so after a day of banging my head against the wall i finally made my rtl8168 work [15:11] mike [15:11] robysath, did you follow sipior 's advice? [15:11] jaunty netinst solved the problem [15:11] hi [15:11] Matr|X: ello [15:11] i have problem with dual bot [15:11] boot* [15:11] Matr|X: define 'problem' [15:12] Matr|X have problem [15:12] JaneDoe: that i can not help you with... it could be a lot of things... how are you measuring it ? [15:12] ehehehe [15:12] Matr|X, put a blog on that...to spread the knowledge....would be nice...thanks [15:12] erUSUL: size / (transfer time). also iptraf [15:13] JACKSU: Please do not private-message me, I assist only in public channels. The package read-edid installs some utilities which query the video card and attached monitor(s). When you sun the: sudo get-edid that pulls raw info off the video card and interrogates the monitor attached to it for what capabilities it has. Then the: | parse-edid part filters that raw info to produce something usable in a config file. [15:13] i had win xp but winxp is so sucks :S down i reinstall it then then boot loader of ubuntu gone :O i put the live cd of ubuntu and rescue system now i ubuntu cant see the boot of winxp and not see the partation of the windows [15:13] join #puppet [15:13] indus: r u gone?

[15:15] Matr|X: doesnt matter, run cfdisk and look at the partition list [15:15] Al2: in the output [15:15] okiz [15:16] Matr|X: if your windows partition is there then its a simple adjustment.. if its not then you deleted it from the partition table somehow, which may or may not mean its lost forever [15:16] MikeSeth: which one is it. I am a begginer and for me it's very hard [15:16] Al2: try lspci|grep -i sound [15:16] Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) [15:16] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [15:16] sda1 Boot Primary NTFS [] 16779.58 [15:16] sda5 Logical Linux ext2 21147.20 [15:16] Matr|X: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Do a /whois on me... look how long I've been logged on. Didn't go to bed until like 3 or 4 in the morn. This wasn't a crash.

So i put lspci and then grep -i? Or how should i write it there? [15:20] Al2: exactly the way I wrote it [15:20] lspci|grep -i audio [15:21] Al2: or you could carefully read all of lspci output [15:22] MikeSeth: it said command not found [15:22] Matr|X: look at lines 46-53 in your paste [15:23] Matr|X: you already have this in your config so grub should allow you to boot windows [15:23] !ca [15:23] Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca [15:24] but when i press windows in the boot menu its back to the boot menu again brother [15:24] Hi.

Which one of that is name of card: 00:09.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP73 High Definition Audio (rev a1) [15:24] Owner: s**ty card [15:24] Al2: it's a chip name, means you want the name of the motherboard [15:24] zxm: 512 MB ? [15:25] Al2: cheapest way is probably to reboot enter bios and see motherboard name & version there [15:25] MikeSeth: S**ty laptop. Until about 10minutes ago, it worked just fine though... [15:25] Al2: sudo dmidecode | less [15:25] Al2: to see your motherboard details [15:25] Matr|X: then chances are Windows' MBR is overwritten, you need to boot into e.g. windows rescue and do fdisk /mbr or equivalent [15:25] \list [15:25] Anyone at all know how an active X Session can change tty's while remaining active?

[15:30] zxm, ext3 [15:30] so agian. Is there anybody who could help me with my sound card? Ubuntu does not recognize it and i don't know what to do. I am a begginer [15:30] zxm: ext3 or ext4 [15:30] please help [15:30] And why does it need 512 MiB? What for?? [15:30] Dr_Willis, Does grub properly support ext4, yet? [15:30] Psi-Jack_: i think the ubuntu version does. [15:30] Owner: do ifconfig and look for anomalies (too many send errors, mac address all zero etc) [15:30] Psi-Jack_: other disrtos might not. [15:30] Psi-Jack_, i'am using ext4 [15:30] Dr_Willis, Hmmm, interesting, okay. [15:31] zxm: kernel images [15:31] given my whold system is ext4.. im pretty sure it does Psi-Jack_ :) [15:31] Thank you! [15:31] MikeSeth: that only lists loopback [15:31] Dr_Willis, Heh. My whole system is xfs, with the exception my /boot is ext4, because I didn't know grub supported ext4. [15:32] Psi-Jack_: ? === johndoe is now known as ninjatune [15:32] is there anybody to help me with sound card? I read the forum. But i got stuck to find out the name of my sound card, what i need to write to terminal for alsa. And at that point i am stuck [15:33] Dr_Willis, One thing I truely like about xfs, is the ability to online degrag it. ;) [15:33] Owner: explicitly do ifconfig ethxxx [15:33] hey need to ask: i got file it have many words/characters. when i do test -s empty > it show in echo $? 0 mean it's non empty file ? why ! how i can test if file is empty or not! thx [15:33] Psi-Jack_, is xfs available for ubuntu? [15:33] thiebaude, Of course. It's available in Linux, Period. Part of the kernel. [15:34] !xfs | thiebaude [15:34] thiebaude: xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [15:34] Psi-Jack_, i didn't even know that, been using ubuntu for over 4 yrs [15:34] Heh [15:34] Psi-Jack_, is it fast?

[15:35] Owner: but it DOES show eth0 when you specify it explicitly right? [15:35] thiebaude, XFS In Linux used to be very poor at working with lots of small files, but since the development of it into Linux to today, it's improved by a lot. === soulnet2 is now known as CO [15:36] MikeSeth: yes sir. [15:36] Owner: it means the iface is down [15:36] thiebaude, It is, you only loose one feature in XFS: The ability to shrinkfs, which if you don't know what that is, likely not even a concern for you. === CO is now known as ML [15:36] BrianE: That's a policy decision from ubuntu at the moment, they are using the working name of the browser while it's in dev/rc [15:36] Psi-Jack_, i won't have any problem then [15:36] Owner: do this: dmesg -c ; ifup eth0 ; dmesg [15:36] join/ #ubuntu-no [15:36] so no one has seen the enlightenment desktop on ubuntu [15:36] boss_mc, BrianE: 3.5 is released [15:37] thiebaude, Yeah..

[15:37] omnipotentduo, i used it before [15:37] maco: but it hasn't gone through canonical yet [15:37] boss_mc, BrianE: its being called shiretoko still *in jaunty* so you dont have 2 "Firefox" entries in the menu...ie, so you can tell them apart [15:37] Psi-Jack_, i agree [15:37] People to this day STILL claim ext doesn't need to be defragged.. They're all WRONG. [15:37] Hello! May anybody help me with my laptop wireless please! [15:37] thiebaude: did you like it? [15:37] maco: I'd 10000% prefer to have 3.5 replace 3.0 [15:37] boss_mc, BrianE: in karmc, it is simply called firefox because it is the default [15:37] BrianE: not for jaunty in jaunty firefox is 3.0.* [15:37] Psi-Jack_: ext doesn't need explicit defragging. [15:37] !ff35 > BrianE [15:37] BrianE, please see my private message [15:37] are there any known sound bugs in jaunty? [15:37] omnipotentduo, it was ok, i was just messing around with it [15:38] omnipotentduo, i use openbox now and love it [15:38] Chousuke, It does need it, however, especially when the filesystem is used intensively with lots of file writing & deleting. [15:38] Mean_Admin: tons [15:38] Chousuke, It needs it even more, when dealing with large files. [15:38] maco: I was hoping for "only one" and that it would be mine [15:38] Alright, I've seen that, so there's definitely no way to get it branded 'properly'? [15:38] Chousuke, Such as database files that get written to often. [15:38] MikeSeth: 1) link down; 2) link is not ready 3) eth0 already configured [15:38] My wireless doesn't show any network list [15:38] thiebaude: i am considering coming back to *buntu for the OpenGEU project (enlightenment+gnome) [15:39] hi [15:39] real men use [15:39] Owner: ethertool eth0, link up? [15:39] can I have one user with Gnome and one with KDE on the same Ubuntu 8.04? [15:39] Mean_Admin: until hardware device manufacturers start giving new names to different hardware instead of claiming 10 different pieces of hardware are the same...and everybody gets new computers with their sound devices beig properly named... there will be sound bugs [15:39] gescape: Yes [15:39] Psi-Jack_: nobody claims it does not need it... the claim is that it is far more resilient to fragmentation than other fs expecialy MS ones [15:39] Now, ext4, WILL have a defragging tool, they claim. [15:39] MikeSeth: no ethertool. [15:39] gescape: you can login to whichever DE you want. the login screen lets you choose [15:39] Owner: mii-tool? [15:39] maco: that sounds like a dumb source of problems [15:40] erUSUL, This is true, but still, with no means to defrag it online, it's useless. [15:40] thank you :) [15:40] maco: on a side note, does looping startup sound seem familiar ? [15:40] erUSUL, I've had servers running for years, degrade in performance, because of ext3. [15:40] lovely help, much appreciated [15:40] MikeSeth: eth0 no link [15:40] omnipotentduo, i tell you with my 512mb of ram, i don't hardy use ram at all [15:40] gescape: What maco said, just hit "Options" -> "Session", then you can choose from there [15:40] Owner: and the led on the card is on? [15:40] Mean_Admin: yeah well, explain that to Realtek, Sigmatel, and other codec manufacturers [15:40] Psi-Jack_: well it has served many people for many years. nothing is perfect of course [15:40] Though if I recall, isn't there a way to set it per-user in their home directory? [15:40] mikeseth: yep [15:41] Owner: oh boy. I assume you rebooted the box? [15:41] Mean_Admin: and motherboard manufacturers.... and OEMs integrating the sound devices into the motherboard... [15:41] maco: as soon as revolution comes, I'll line them up against the wall [15:41] BrianE, maco, but the login screen will stay the same as it is a the moment from Gnome? [15:41] Owner: lsmod|grep 81 [15:41] MikeSeth: first thing... [15:41] Psi-Jack_: use ext4 :P [15:41] maco So I guess, moar Google is in order [15:41] Mean_Admin: hehe reel big fish in my head now ^_^ umm anyway, yeah ive heard of the looping thing before, but i dont have a bug # memorized [15:42] Owner: dist-upgrade, right? and that upgraded kernels as well? [15:42] MikeSeth: 8139too, 8139cp, mii [15:42] MikeSeth: that's right. [15:42] gescape: You're thinking of the GDM, KDM etc - You can set that /etc/X11/default-display-manager [15:42] BrianE, should I install kubuntu-* packages also? [15:42] ic [15:43] Owner: Im not sure whether both should appear [15:43] gescape: If you're wanting to have a full KDE / GNOME desktop side-by-side, you should install kubuntu-desktop which'll install all the default applications too [15:43] how to connect two computers using LAN cable in ubuntu? [15:43] Owner: ifconfig eth0 down; modprobe -r 8139too; modprobe -r 8139cp; ifup eth0 [15:43] what happens then? [15:43] BrianE: meh, my desktop is emasc [15:44] BrianE, thank you so much [15:44] No worries [15:44] gescape: If, when it installs, you'd like to switch the login screen to that of KDE, change the "gdm" in /etc/X11/default-display-manager to "kdm" [15:45] hola buenos dias :) [15:45] how to connect two computers using LAN cable in ubuntu?

[16:00] maco: no it sets /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr to 0 [16:01] maco: that permits the exploit [16:01] Zerosan, that is why I suggested ou download xubuntu [16:01] you* [16:01] vneethv: yes there is .

[16:09] hi [16:10] oh, and i realized one more thing... on computer-startup the ubuntu sound sounds very strange.... [16:10] like a chorus [16:12] I noticed that during a full backup of my ubuntu system that files I thought I had lost where showing up in my home folder in /.local/share/Trash/files can I recover them by moving them back to my desktop? === adam is now known as Guest27438 [16:12] how do you calculate the power consumption?

I get messages like "eth0 link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 and then "network is unreachable".. [16:14] ShapeShifter499: yes; [16:14] ShapeShifter499, find some ext3 recovery tools [16:14] ShapeShifter499: You should be able to. Or you could open the Trash can by typing trash:/// in Nautilus address bar.

[16:18] Anyone know any working methods for getting ubuntu 9.04 to work with ATI Radeon 3650HD? === adam is now known as Guest62439 [16:18] ShapeShifter499: when you delete in nautilus the files go to the trash can they are not deleted just moved [16:18] hi [16:19] erUSUL: so they aren't gone when you press delete in nautilus? [16:20] *the delete button [16:20] i press empty trash [16:20] Hey. I'm having a problem with Jaunty on my HP laptop. I usually get 1680x1050 resolution, but now it's coming up with a much lower resolution. When I try to run gnome-display-properties, it opens up a blank screen, and I see /var/log/Xorg.0.log keeps repeating the mode lines over and over again until I kill gnome-display-properties. Is there a way to figure out what's going on? Is there another display control tool I c [16:20] ShapeShifter499: no; like in windows there is a trash can so you can recover files [16:20] and says an error about rights [16:20] ShapeShifter499: if you do shift + del they are really gone [16:20] ShapeShifter499: if you press shift+delete, then the file is really gone [16:20] #ubuntu-es [16:21] vgarcia: sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/* [16:21] ShapeShifter499: with only delete button, it just goes to Trash [16:21] ok === Luisito is now known as Karlos [16:21] Permision denied [16:21] cant delete them [16:21] hi again everyone [16:22] alsa config problems...anyone feel like stretching out a helping hand? :) [16:23] anybody else have any idea how one could revitalize his networking? [16:23] Owner: revitalize? [16:24] alsa config...anyone? [16:24] linuxson25: Try explaining the problem and maybe someone will chime in. [16:24] ok.... [16:25] linuxson25: best if you just ask your question directly. [16:25] Hi I know this is not an Ubuntu question but someone here is bound to know since this is the channel where smart people hang out (blatant flattery here). I have a bad 300W power supply. I want to replace it but it seems that the only ones I find are 450W units. Will it harm anything to upgrade the wattage? [16:25] whileimhere, ##hardware [16:25] I recently installed Ubuntu JJ 9.04 on a LG LW60 notebook [16:25] whileimhere: it will work fine. [16:25] thanks [16:26] There was no onboard sound, but the jacks worked fine when you plugged in some speakers [16:26] whileimhere: no [16:26] sipior: get it to work. after a dist-upgrade accompanied by a kernel upgrade, i have no networking. ifaces are up, links r up, network is unreachable... i've spent all day on this and i'm ready to put a bullet in my brain. [16:26] hmm.... what I mean is I send the files to the "trash" by the applet on the gnome-panel then after a while I check to make sure I don't want the files(most of the time) than click the button labeled "empty trash" in nautilus, but by doing that they don't actually get deleted? unless I what? (just making sure of what I know) [16:26] Went and messed with my alsa drivers and stuff, and now I got NO sound [16:26] linuxson25: I have heard about this. There [16:26] This seems to be the only room I ever get answers from. [16:26] Owner: you can ping localhost? [16:26] Owner: the local interface, i mean [16:26] linuxson25: I dealt with the same problem with an HP Mini 1000. It's a reported bug, and the convo of the bug has a fix that involves compiling ALSA from source. It worked for me. [16:27] ShapeShifter499: they should be deleted when you empty the trash click the button labeled "empty trash" [16:27] linuxson25: I have heard about this. There's a particular sound chipset out there with that problem. I can't remember which one, and on the one I tried to fix I didn't get it working. But you're not crazy. [16:27] sipior: yep, no problems there either.. === Ianbeyer_ is now known as Ianbeyer [16:27] That's what I tried, but it only gave me a couple of errors, and now I got no sound [16:27] hi guys [16:27] Owner: you've verified that the routing is correct? [16:27] Downloaded newest alsa drivers, libraries and utilities [16:27] Good morning, everyone. I just installed Ubuntu Server 9.04 for the first time. I am unable to shell into the system. Is there a default firewall in place preventing me from getting to it? [16:28] how goes it for ATI mobile radeon support on 9.04? [16:28] sipior: it's worth mentioning that both my network adapters stopped working, b43 and rtl8139 [16:28] linuxson25: So you were not able to compile from source? (There are a few solutions listed in the article. Only compiling from source worked for me. Another solution gave me no sound even through headphones, just as you are experiencing.) What errors did you get when compiling ALSA form source? [16:28] erUSUL: well they aren't(which is a good thing for me, if they don't take much room, I'm all ways looking for old deleted files) they show up during my backup and when I go to the /.local/trash/files [16:28] n3glv, the radeon driver is doing well for me. 3d compiz all working well. [16:28] Jeren: no, probably just no ssh daemon listening. was the error "Connection Refused"? [16:28] Sipior: Yes, it was. [16:29] Jeren: turn ssh on :-) [16:29] oh ok, it was not advised that I upgrade, also it's ubuntu 64bit, if that matters [16:29] ShapeShifter499: that should count as a bug i guess... not sure what can couse this [16:29] n3glv: Which radeon do you have?

[16:38] I'd figure that's a local setting [16:38] sudo apt-get fuck :D [16:38] wlievens: No, it's a local setting yes [16:38] I want the file to know it has to shown an icon, much like the file can tell what script engine to use (the shebang) [16:38] sudo apt-get autoremove....lol [16:38] If it's an application rather than a script, that'd be a different story, but as it's just a text file it can't be done [16:38] Dartis: explore puberty elsewhere. [16:39] BrianE: what's an application in your context? [16:39] in this context [16:39] wlievens: Sorry, application in the sense of compiled executable [16:39] well that is an option for me [16:39] What language is the script in?

KDE Okular seems the fitter tool, here. Other opinions? [17:21] Still no sound [17:21] ipatrol6010, maybe check if gmenu-simple-editor has +x permissions: "ls -l /path/to/gmenu-simple-editor" [17:21] deus__: exFat support is being developed... (I suggest using NTFS next time.) [17:21] linuxson25, you need to give many more details then that. simply repeating alsa config problem wont yield much assistance [17:22] bazhang: document viewer is evince, isn't it. KDE Okular seems the fitter tool, here. Other opinions? [17:22] * regeya will start using ntfs as soon as there are native repair tools. [17:22] Phil_Ewert, opinions about what [17:23] bazhang: ok....how do you private message here? all these messages are just getting me confused [17:23] lol [17:23] regeya: Still better than exFAT (no native tools at all). For filesystems shared with both Windows and Linux, NTFS is the best choice. [17:23] ipatrol6010, mine has the ownership root:root and is chmod'd to 755 [17:23] Phil_Ewert: are you looking for advice on PDF viewers? if you need flawless support, install adobe acrobat. [17:23] bazhang: the usability of evince, Okular or other tools [17:23] Hi everybody..

[17:25] yes, simple apt-get install filezilla, indian_munnda [17:25] bazhang: Ok, let me start from the beginning....when I installed Ubuntu 9.04, sound worked fine through the jacks, but no onboard sound [17:25] Phil_Ewert, that is extraordinarily odd, scrolling with mouse wheel works perfectly here. [17:26] OEP: is cheese ?

[17:26] !ntfs | nitesh [17:26] nitesh: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [17:26] ipatrol6010, you clearly broke something. [17:26] grawity: ? [17:26] !FUSE [17:26] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [17:26] bazhang: strange! how can I choose default tools for endnigs like .pdf ? [17:27] OEP: can cheese be installed in windows too ? [17:27] linuxson25, what card do you have [17:27] I typed into bash the following: [17:27] cd ~/Desktop/Python-3.1/ [17:27] rincon, I do not know. I've only used it in Ubuntu and it was pretty good for taking pictures/video [17:27] ./configure [17:27] ipatrol6010, do you really need 3.1? :f [17:27] sudo make install [17:27] i have a question, does anyone in here use a macbook not a macbook pro but a macbook? i am wanting help to install ubuntu on my macbook and still have mac os x on it as well, [17:27] bazhang: Its onboard - Intel Corporation 82801FB [17:28] in the future use checinstall instead. === kb is now known as Guest33079 [17:28] regeya: what is tha command line to install it [17:28] OEP: doe it works for transmitting webcam chat like windows live messenger does? [17:28] rincon, looks to be specifically for GNOME [17:28] nitesh: You don't need to install ntfs-3g, it comes with Ubuntu. [17:28] rincon, no. you might want something like skype for that. [17:28] hey [17:29] OEP, rincon: cheese is only for using the camera locally, it does not connect to any remote clients. [17:29] bazhang: I must also add, that I downgraded my alsa-base to intrepid version [17:29] nitesh: Is it an internal drive you want to access, or an external one? [17:29] hola, necesito ayuda para conectarme a irc-hispano. hello I need help for connect to irc-hispano. can help me please?

[17:30] grawity: Its an internal one [17:30] grawity: yes [17:30] Question: Using the Gnome GUI, there is system performance, is there a way to add in Hard Drive statics for read/write usage. I am running a Xeon DC 2.13Ghz CPU w/ 6Gb ram, however the system is sluggish I think due to VMServer sending out system images, CPUs average <12% and Mem < 700MB [17:30] rincon, to install skype, you'll need to add the medibuntu repository and use apt-get to install it [17:30] how do you uninstall from the command line? [17:30] linuxson25, that perhaps is the source of more difficulties. have you gone throught the sound factoid steps (or had you prior to mixing version releases of a package) [17:30] At work I connect though the wireless network. (It is also necessary to connect to a VPN to get internet access.) Every few minutes the wireless gets disconnected, and I get a message "VPN connection has failed". I don't have any problems on Windows (same machine, same location), and I didn't have any problems with the wireless at a different location. Have you any idea what might be wrong? [17:30] nitesh: Okay, do you know the device name for the Windows partition? (It looks like /dev/sda7 or similar.) If you don't know it -- run 'sudo fdisk -l' in Terminal, and see which one it is. [17:30] ipatrol6010, apt-get uninstall [package] if it was installed with apt [17:30] ipatrol6010, make uninstall [17:31] OEP: how do you add the medibuntu repo?

[17:31] rincon, do a quick google for it. there is a full guide on how to do it. [17:32] linuxson25: bazhang is referring to the ubottu's message above -- the bot's messages are called "factoids".

[17:36] [t0rc]: You could make your Ubuntu Thunderbird profile directory a symbolic link to your Windows' [17:36] dcosta, I think you'll need to make sure that the user you plan to login with over samba also has a system account [17:37] im creationg a new partition on my hdd, what should be the mount point?

[17:39] dcosta, if you can't connect it sounds like either the service is being blocked or is not running [17:39] [t0rc]: "/home/username/.mozilla-thunderbird", you'll see a folder with a random name like "dja185jq.default"... That's the folder you'll need to symlink [17:40] OEP how you do to connect do folder [17:40] i try acess from wlan do eth0 but in local networt [17:40] dcosta, an smb:// URL... seemed like you were doing it right.

[17:42] Hope you catch my drift =\ [17:42] dcosta, also you may want to make sure you can connect to the samba server locally.. and it shouldn't matter where the folder is so long as the permissions are right [17:42] BrianE: The profile is in Application Data/Thunderbird/, IIRC.

[17:58] ^ What an inventive nickname === root is now known as Guest49665 [17:58] actually, you can put a dotfile in the root of the drive that gives instructions to HAL on what to do with it. [17:58] indian_munnda, i think so very much [17:58] alguien colombiano [17:58] indian_munnda, mysql take standard sql commands [17:59] Hm. Can't say I'd know how to go about doing that. [17:59] koudelka_: ok then i'll install that first and try [17:59] Guest49665: #ubuntu-es [17:59] koudelka_: thanks man...:) [17:59] Would you? :) [17:59] cellofellow: correct. but I am not familiar enough with udev files...I am looking at them just want some guidence [17:59] indian_munnda, you can ask your teachers, they must know of mysql [17:59] Trying to set up ALSA again...but when using this command: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec - to see which card I am using, terminal replies that there aint no such directory. Why would that be? [17:59] hi (: [17:59] Keiffer: http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#generic [17:59] Right. Not answering my question. [18:00] koudelka_: yeah they were talking about that but they were saying that oracle is more stable than mysql [18:00] Pseudo_Bob: Join the club my friend. I have been asking this question whole day noe [18:00] now [18:00] <_2> detrix you might want to point a symbolic link at the existing mountpoint [18:00] detrix: I'm not very familiar either. Just a sec. [18:01] The whole ALSA config thing....driving me insane [18:01] I'm think it isn't going to be possible. [18:01] _2: hmmm....that could work... [18:01] <_2> detrix imo. that would be the most simple and effective [18:01] indian_munnda, hmm well i have never used oracle, and i know for fact that mysql is used in very large database centers handling lots of connections [18:01] linuxson25: you may need to load a driver set before that directory is created in /proc [18:01] In which case I don't know what sound drivers I should install for onboard sound [18:02] detrix: try this google search http://www.google.com/search?q=udev+mount+rules [18:02] Pseudo_Bob: It is most definitely possible....just need to do it a certain way. You tried compiling ALSA? For your card? [18:02] detrix: first two results look promising [18:02] linuxson25: which "snd" modules do you have loaded currently? [18:02] indian_munnda, http://www.mysql.com/customers/?id=287 there you can see some of there customers. wikipedia is one big example [18:02] cellofellow: checking [18:02] koudelka_: ok i'll go for mysql first, since it is open source as u said. Then after that i'll think of oracle [18:02] sipior: Ok....and how would I do that? === netsurf3- is now known as netsurf3 [18:02] Well, seeing how I have no idea what that means, no. [18:03] linuxson25: "lsmod | grep snd" [18:03] any ideas on why my network adapter wont work after a suspend - but works fine after a full reboot [18:03] indian_munnda, facebook also use mysql i think [18:03] What is the best firewall solution for ubuntu? [18:04] sipior: Ok...that command just about did nothing [18:04] lol [18:04] linuxson25: Heh, if you ever get it working make sure you let me know, I've had Linux installed for a total of 12 hours now, 11 of which I've been sleeping. [18:04] <_2> og01 common question. unfortunately i don't have the answer. but it should be well documented [18:04] do i have to update 8.1 before i upgrade to 9.04? [18:04] Psuedo_Bob: Will do :) Just give me the specs of your card again? [18:04] _2: i've looked through forums - but found fixes that dont work for me [18:04] linuxson25: what have you done to try and get your card working? [18:05] detrix: how's it coming? [18:05] hi all,anyideas why i get this E: Type 'echo' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list [18:05] E: The list of sources could not be read. [18:05] Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. [18:05] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [18:05] jonny_b: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:05] sorry [18:05] sipior: Well, had alsa pre-installed with the system first, but onboard sound wasnt [18:05] working [18:05] which audio player can semlessly loop a track? [18:05] sipior: So I downloaded ALSA drivers and utilities to try and compile it from source [18:05] cellofellow: still checking...looks like its what I am looking for [18:06] do i have to update 8.1 before i upgrade to 9.04? [18:06] linuxson25: It's a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value, if that's what you're asking, lol. Cheapest sound card I could possibly find :) [18:06] sipior: Looks like I only ended up deleting my sound driver or something, cause now I dont have any sound at all [18:07] Psuedo_Bob: Okay, thanx. WIll see what I can dig up,and come back to you with links and stuff. May take a while though.... [18:07] hello [18:07] hi all. i'm looking for an audio player in linux that can loop audo tracks seamlessly. anyone knows of any? [18:07] I can't run gksudo [18:07] hows this paste thing work then? [18:07] Bryce1: yes, is the short answer. [18:07] ok thanks [18:07] when I run putty (sudo putty) I get the following output "Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load module "libcanberra-gtk-module.so": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [18:07] bidossessi, hmm, how do you mean? [18:07] 3.18 hours to go :) [18:08] sipior: Shows my playback hardware as Null [18:08] koudelka_, well, simply loop over a track without pause at the end. [18:08] How can I reinstall ubuntu while saving my data and programs? [18:08] Flinx: Trying to run putty on linux? [18:08] yes [18:08] OEP, [public] [18:08] comment = Public Share [18:08] path =/home/hades/Desktop/shared/ [18:08] read only = no [18:08] guest only = yes [18:08] dcosta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:08] guest ok = yes [18:08] Grim76__, Xubuntu [18:08] Flinx: Just open a console. Putty is not really necessary. [18:08] linuxson25: ah, quite the mess. this might be why no one wants to touch your question :-) you can try reinstalling the linux-image package, i believe that contains the full set of alsa drivers. [18:08] bidossessi, hmm i wonder which music player dosen't do that [18:08] but how does this paste thing work? [18:09] Grim76__, i'm using it to talk to TTYS0 [18:09] bidossessi, the default player rythmbox should do that [18:09] koudelka_, well none that i tried yet does. there's a difference between restart and loop [18:09] -- !paste [18:09] in de chat [18:09] what's the command line way of detecting networks? [18:09] What's the easiest way to reinstall ubuntu? [18:09] Grim76__, Putty Opens, but I'm trying to find out why I get that message [18:09] dhclient eth0 wont work after a restore from suspend. and the interface eth0 is still present, but i can not send any data (even if i manually configure eth0) [18:09] koudelka_, rhythmbox doesn't loop [18:09] any ideas [18:09] I meant command line command [18:09] E: Type 'echo' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [18:10] jonny_b: Sounds like that file is improperly formatted, can you please pastebin the contents of it? [18:10] bidossessi, what does it do then? [18:10] I think I screwed things up so badly there is no other choice [18:10] sipior: But I dont wanna re-install ubuntu again, and have to format or anything [18:10] jonny_b: well, you've got a line in that file that starts with "echo". Simply use a text editor to remove it. They should only start with #, deb, or deb-src. [18:10] Flinx: Ah! Not sure I am going to be much help there. I have not had to talk to anything serial. [18:11] linuxson25: well, you can try reinstalling the package i suggested. [18:11] how to i get the contents? [18:11] i just followed the instructions on pidgin site [18:11] koudelka_, it just restarts the song with an audible pause inbetween restarts [18:11] sipior: Could you just give it to me again? I disconnected there for a sec, lost the info [18:11] ok, so my processor's were running a bit on the high side (about 50% each, were 15% is the norm), so i decided to reboot, since i couldn't find the offending process [18:11] Grim76__, Serial connectivity works fine. At this point the error message is more of a nuisance [18:11] but now my X server won't start [18:11] anyway i can tell which module my network card is using? [18:11] linuxson25: linux-image-generic [18:11] jonny_b: in the Alt+F2 box, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list [18:12] bidossessi, have you tried enabling crossfade? [18:12] Half my programs aren't working, what do you suggest? === jesse is now known as Guest15484 [18:12] sipior: Will this delete or "replace" the system as I am using it now? [18:12] ok Cello [18:12] bidossessi, without crossfade i can imagine it is quite stiff cut at the end [18:13] sipior: Can I download it with synaptic? [18:13] linuxson25: it will replace the kernel package, that's all. yes, you can get it via synaptic. [18:13] ipatrol6010: Who are you talking to? [18:13] ipatrol6010: nuke from orbit--it's the only way to be sure. [18:13] so do i put a # where the echo is? [18:13] how can i tell which module my network card is using/needs? [18:13] pici:anyone [18:13] Flinx: ok... Someone might be a bit more knowledgable with usint putty assuming through wine on Linux to talk to a serial device. I know that I have a friend that has used minicom for his needs like that. [18:13] jonny_b: pastebin it. [18:13] koudelka_, the track is only 3sec long. neither crossfade nor anything else works with rhythmbox [18:14] ok [18:14] okay [18:14] sipior: Re-install it? So uninstall it first then? [18:14] bidossessi, ah well then i think you want to use a sound editor [18:14] guess I have no choice.... [18:14] what's the command line way of detecting networks?\ [18:14] I meant command line command [18:14] !audacity [18:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about audacity [18:14] linuxson25: there should be an option to reinstall the package in synaptic.

[18:20] linuxson25: well, there's your problem. [18:20] Grim76__, I always forget how to search repo's XD [18:20] Flinx: Glad I could point you in possibly the right direction. [18:20] so, no way to reinstall audio components ? [18:20] linuxson25: odd that the reinstall didn't resupply that file. [18:20] sipior: Ok, just did the sudo|grep sound command again [18:20] That was weird. [18:20] Nevermind [18:21] sipior: Now I got two lines [18:21] sipior: sound and soundcore [18:21] G-Norris: Are you looking to speak to a channel operator? [18:21] No [18:21] its ok sorry for bothering you. [18:22] sipior: So how do I fix it? [18:22] Uqbar: seems to work.. [18:22] Flinx: Not a problem. I am the same way always forget one little piece. [18:22] linuxson25: the package i mentioned earlier? try removing it, then installing it again. [18:22] sipior: Ok [18:22] when creating a new user with adduser, is there a place to set the default shell and /home/directory?? [18:22] OEP: i am using skype now but the program launches an audio error, what is your recommendation? [18:23] aboyz: Probably in /etc/login.defs -- or by using useradd. [18:23] aboyz: read the manpage [18:23] So, I don't think this question got through last time I asked it- what other drivers do I need to install other than the video card and sound card? [18:23] login.def? [18:24] sipior: Ok...did that === exodusMS is now known as exodus_ms [18:24] linuxson25: try reinserting the snd module [18:25] Uqbar: yes, did it..could you explain what "-p" is? [18:25] I have an MPEG-1 stream in a RIFF file (from a VideoCD) - anyone know how I could re-wrap the stream in an MPEG container, without transcoding the stream? [18:25] sipior: And that would be done.....? [18:25] rudy986: it creates the path, if needed, up to the last element [18:25] linuxson25: as before. "sudo modprobe snd" [18:25] xlq: sure, that should be easy with ffmpeg or mencoder. Just a sec... [18:25] Uqbar: ok..than you very much!! [18:25] are belkin wireless network g cards compatable w/ ubuntu? or does it depend on the model of ubuntu and card? [18:26] I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Netbook remix version, is there any way to switch to normal Ubuntu 8.04 [18:26] sipior: still same problem. Does it make a difference if I typed sudo modprobe SOUND instead of SND first? [18:26] xlq: ffmpeg -i riff_file -vcodec copy -acodec copy mpegfile.mpg should do the trick. [18:26] Netbook remix isn't getting security updates anymore [18:26] cellofellow: whoa, I wasn't expecting the actual command :D thanks [18:26] linuxson25: no, if it can't find the file, it can't find the file. === ShadowChild is now known as lukjad007 [18:27] sipior: Oh....ok. Well, still same problem. Cant find the dir [18:27] guys did anyone get gwibber 1.20 running on ubuntu 9.04 ? [18:27] no.

[18:28] is there anyone out there with a problem that i could try to help them with/ [18:28] sipior: Let me just check [18:28] ideamonk: I'm running Gwibber 1.2.0 from the Launchpad PPA. [18:28] G-Norris: just look at the channel [18:28] G-Norris: there'll be plenty of new questions along shortly, i'm sure :-) [18:28] hey [18:28] same questino [18:29] on booting ubuntu i have to press keys to keep the loading going on...what could i do? [18:29] can we have dual screen working with the open source radeon drivers ? [18:29] sipior: Ok thanks, im just bored have nothin to do. [18:29] nobody's knowing that ? [18:29] ankush- What do you mean by that? [18:30] sipior: In Synaptic its 2.6.28.14.19. When doing modprobe its looking for 2.6.28.14. Could that be the problem? [18:30] linuxson25: no, that should be fine. [18:30] sipior: Oh, ok [18:30] I have having trouble getting my internet to share out on the network. i have a usb modem connected to ubuntu 9.04 without any problems. i have the ethernet connection going into my router and have specified to share that connection out. other computers on my network are getting DHCP info like they should, but cant connect to any webpage. any ideas? [18:30] sipior: Hmmmmm....so what now? [18:30] i mean..like i have to press a key to bring the scroll bar screen and then anothr to to keep it going. [18:31] linuxson25: might just be faster to reinstall, instead of fiddling with packages again. [18:31] sipior: Re-install? [18:31] cellofellow, I get this when I run gwibber 1.20 - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/134827/ [18:31] cellofellow, can you pass the link from where you git 1.20 ? [18:31] sipior: What? Ubuntu??

[18:33] sipior: I would rather sort out the problem, or go without sound than re-install the system. Used a whole lot of bandwidth to get where I am now. Dont wanna have to do that all over again [18:33] Hi I need help installing Ubuntu, apologies for being a boring newb [18:33] ideamonk: got it from here.

So, if you're streaming your webcam to another person, they'll see the AVI, rather than the webcam feed.

[18:34] O_o [18:35] linuxson25: if you have an older kernel package on your system, you can try booting into that kernel. might work for you. [18:35] ok i see it's scaring people my problem [18:35] Right ok, so I just need to select "do not use the partition" for the first primary partition on the drive? [18:35] Well i have to go. I might be on later. Bye bye everyone. [18:35] jacquesdupontd, what is your problem? [18:35] linuxson25: or rather, it will definitely work, but you may even have the appropriate sound modules again. [18:35] George__, yes [18:35] can we have dual screen working with the open source radeon drivers ? [18:36] sipior: Ok, how would I find this out, and then carry it through? [18:36] jacquesdupontd, i think so [18:36] Does apport call gdb? [18:36] sipior: And will it hamper my currently installed software from working properly? [18:36] I've a 750GB drive and I'm not sure what sort of space Ubuntu takes up and whether or not it's a good idea to seperate the various file systems into partitions [18:36] So nothing on the sound card drivers, linuxson25?

[18:36] George__, default install <4gb [18:36] George__: Ubuntu doesn't take more than 4gbs [18:37] linuxson25: when you boot the machine, do you get multiple kernel options at the grub prompt?

[18:40] yes [18:40] George__: I would suggest giving no less than 15 GB to Ubuntu (sunce you seem to have lots of them). [18:40] <__theIdiotBox> rincon: paste the exact error message [18:40] The default install is small, but you'll soon want this app and that tool and so on. [18:40] __theIdiotBox: thanks [18:41] ok, for things like, I dunno, a film in DivX could I store it in either partition and transfer easily? [18:41] <__theIdiotBox> rincon, u're welcome [18:41] George__, you'll also need a swap partition [18:41] hello [18:42] George__, ubuntu can read and write ntfs === mahmoud is now known as Guest50414 [18:42] yep I have 4GB of RAM so I've read 8GBs [18:42] George__, something like that [18:42] so I should store most things in a Windows formatted partition that way it's readable by both systems [18:42] any body using jolicloud ???? [18:42] George__, i guess [18:43] OK I'm oging to have a fiddle with the installation and see if I can understand it [18:43] hello everybody [18:43] hello [18:43] George__, good luck [18:43] <__theIdiotBox> bhaskar_, hello [18:43] bhaskar_, hi [18:43] sipior: Ok, it worked!!! Booted into kernel 2.6.28.13..... instead of 2.6.28.14. Got my sound back again through the jacks. No onboard sound, but thats fine [18:43] George__: 8gb of swap is overkill. If you are planning to have the system suspend to disk, you'll need at least as much swap as RAM, but twice is really too much. [18:44] some one help me, i am trying to install kde in jaunty and i have problem [18:44] Pici, i have 16 :P but then i use it. [18:44] <__theIdiotBox> bhaskar_, whats the problem?

Does the partition editor work all of that out itself? Oh and should I use ext4? Iwas gonna give it a try [18:48] help me to install kde trothigar: [18:48] George__, extended fit inside logical, so thats why you couldn't see them [18:48] trothigar: Cause I tried removing and re-installing the newest kernel, to get functionality back of my sound modules, but it was lost. Booted into an earlier version, and now its back....back how do I get back to the new version and still keep my sound?

[20:47] kimbote: is your system capable of booting from usb? [20:47] Ali_nz, No, you must create the partition with fdisk or similar [20:48] hello..? [20:48] what the hell is this [20:48] guntbert: yea [20:48] <|pez|> nightone: what the hell is what? [20:48] nightone: an irc client [20:49] well, I thought that irc was for im'ing [20:49] but apparently I am wrong on that [20:49] ks3: right, so which comes first the make partition or make fs?

[20:50] not sure what that is [20:50] nightone: like pidgin [20:51] I already have pidgin [20:51] kimbote: debian? this channel is for ubuntu support only, sorry [20:51] nightone: jabber is the name of a popular xmpp server. google talk is another.

[21:00] !anyone | MariaKeys [21:00] no why? [21:00] MariaKeys: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:00] ubottu: thanks. [21:00] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [21:00] hola [21:00] i like to remove internationalization support from glibc [21:00] MariaKeys: that's a compile time option [21:00] MariaKeys: why? [21:01] MariaKeys: and don't think that here are only male persons :-) [21:01] I'm a developer and I often need to setup very different development environments. I want to emply virtualization to do this. Anyone have any pointers or links to howto ? [21:01] hi, I'm recently experiencing stalls in file open menu with applications (gedit, mozilla, meld, ...) on ubuntu hardy, using compiz with nvidia, anyone knows why? [21:01] nmap scan shows my RSA and DSA keys but i use password for my sshd is that normal? [21:01] MariaKeys: why? [21:01] !vbox [21:01] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [21:01] hey all what's up [21:01] ikonia: yes, --disable-nls [21:01] ixpl: all ssh servers have a dsa or rsa key for the server [21:01] hi, hmm excuse me, can anyone help me, look i have an mdf image file, but i don-t know how to mount an mdf image, can anyone please help me_ [21:01] !vbox > g8tor [21:01] g8tor, please see my private message [21:01] ikonia: I want to know actually if there is anyone who is running a server without this internationalization virus. [21:01] MariaKeys: ok - so you 'd have to recompile glibc - which is going to be hard for a working/running distro that's linked against it [21:02] MariaKeys: yawn [21:02] MariaKeys: internatilaiztion is not a virus, don't be silly please [21:02] .panel [21:02] ikonia: why do i need it on my server? [21:02] internationalization virus [21:02] whats the command to fix the gnome-panel? [21:02] right but that isn't something anybody can connect with right? [21:02] ikonia: more importantly, why does anyone need internationalization ona server? [21:02] MariaKeys: to enable different country options, it's small option and causes no issue [21:02] MariaKeys: how does it hurt to have it there? [21:02] that's not write [21:02] MariaKeys: servers can be multi-national [21:03] ixpl: they need a password or the server needs to know their public key and the user needs the corresponding private key [21:03] navatwo_: pkill gnome-panel kills it (and i think restarts it) [21:03] ikonia: it is 300MB at /usr/share/locale. It is not small. [21:03] ok thanks [21:03] MariaKeys: you can remove the locals [21:03] !resetpanel | navatwo_ [21:03] navatwo_: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:03] ixpl: the host RSA/DSA key is used so that users can prove the server's identity [21:03] MariaKeys: those files are nothing to do with the compile option [21:03] ikonia: removing it does not remove it from binaries. [21:03] can anyone please tell me how to mount mdf images? [21:03] MariaKeys: feel free to remove what you don't need, then [21:03] MariaKeys: no - it's small in the binaries, it's practiacally nothing [21:03] navatwo_: ah, ok. the bot has something more refined. [21:04] ikonia: thanks but you did not answer. why does anyone need internationalization on a server? [21:04] MariaKeys: are you using ubuntu ? [21:04] hello, I have this weird keyboard problem.. I use the keypad for home/end/pdup/pgdown keys (i don't have anyone else). now I've installed ubuntu, and if I'm in a text field and hit Shift+Home (as in mark everything back to the beginning), 7 is typed. Shift+End gives me 1. Num lock is not on. If num lock is on, they work as home and end. Is there a setting somewhere? i use ubuntu 9.04 [21:04] ikonia: many distros... ubuntu being one of them. [21:04] okay, so I have my panels back and they work like they should.. but there are no images on them. Anyone know how to get them back? [21:05] I can click etc on them. [21:05] isn't VirtualBox more of a GUI thing? I was more so looking to be able to run multiple headless servers that I could connect to through ssh [21:05] MariaKeys: ok - then I've answered your questions, people want internationalization as servers can be multinational - lets move on [21:05] forgive me if I'm wrong on that [21:05] nvm [21:05] hello, how can I see the MX records for my domain? shouldn't whois show them? [21:05] got it [21:06] CQ: no - dig or nslookup [21:06] ikonia: thanks [21:06] dre360: try dig domain.name MX [21:06] dre360: oops, that was for CQ [21:06] thanks [21:06] Anyone else having troubles with openoffice.org under gutsy? Whenever I try to save or save as it crashes. [21:07] I think I found a related bug about this happens after pasting something into Oo from firefox. [21:07] does Tor bring an insecurity to a system with all that traffic it generate? [21:07] ixpl: it potentially could [21:07] ixpl: it would be impossible to tell between tor users connecting with it and the actual owners [21:07] Ben64, thanks for trying. i'm going to come back to this later. i should really be doing other stuff right now [21:07] ikonia: alright whatever. any idea about CONFIG_NLS kernel option? [21:07] ixpl: so you could potentially be held liable for what is donw through your tor node [21:08] yeah I had read some things about government email leaking from it [21:08] MariaKeys: native language support for the kernel [21:08] MariaKeys: but that's nothing #ubuntu specific [21:08] MariaKeys: clear case of rtfm [21:08] ikonia: i know what it is. anyone using it? [21:08] MariaKeys: and that means "fine" as i assume you know [21:08] MariaKeys: it's not compiled into the ubuntu kernel by default [21:08] g8tor: viortualbox runs perfectly headless too, you will find more information in #vbox [21:09] guntbert: thanks [21:09] lstarnes: is there a good way to set it up for just IRC ? [21:09] g8tor: see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ [21:09] ikonia: thanks. what purpose does it serve? [21:09] I attempted to get source code for xorg. I basically got an "about xorg" file. The file and the terminal msgs are here, if anyne can take a look. http://pastebin.com/d1c4dd982 [21:10] ixpl: if you set up a tor node for iec, you will be banned from this network and will only be able to connect using a gpg-tor account [21:10] MariaKeys: that's nothing to do with ubuntu, it's basically localiszation options for the kernel I'm not fully aware of it's use [21:10] I am trying to get the actual code [21:10] ikonia: alright. thanks for the assistance. [21:10] Lostin: xorg is broke down into multiple package [21:10] Can someone help me with my sound in ubuntu 64 bit? [21:10] Lostin: you need to get each individual package you want to build [21:11] *irc [21:11] lstarnes: eeeeew how about a simple way too hide IP when connecting (that;s all that really matters to me) [21:11] ixpl: you just need to set the exit policy to reject *:* and allow *:6667 [21:11] ixpl: this network has cloaking. See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks and join #freenode for more information [21:11] Lostin: put the deb-src repos in /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get source xserver-xorg [21:12] ikonia: Don't want to build, I am looking for where xmodmap keeps the file assigning values to multimedia keys [21:12] ixpl: what exactly are you trying to do? [21:12] Lostin: ok - you'll need to get each package you want to view the source file for [21:12] !sound | lukasoft have you seen [21:12] lukasoft have you seen: 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 [21:13] ikonia: I got ya, and you too prince, I will go try that [21:14] Lostin: well, read 'man apt-get' for exactly what apt-get source does. maybe it's not what you want. [21:14] i'm having a problem with my screen resolution [21:14] it's at 1280x1024 [21:14] well I have been noticing some hits on my box after joining the irc channels ...so anyway to keep anonymose would be nice [21:15] i need it at 1920x1280 [21:15] !virtualisation | g8tor and there is [21:15] g8tor and there is: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [21:15] guntbert: yes. I have a laptop. the sound only comes out of the internal subwoofer [21:15] the option was there but now it's just blank [21:15] ixpl: those who donate to freenode get cloaks. ubuntu members get cloaks too [21:16] lukasoft: I'm not good with sound, wanted only to give you a starting point [21:16] guntbert: thanks [21:16] ixpl: you can also ask freenode staff for a generic, unaffiliated cloak [21:16] cool yeah that makes sense [21:16] ixpl: were any of the hits from 85.190.0.3 ? [21:16] anyone know how to help? [21:16] ixpl: first, better learn how to protect your box. You can't be hit if you do firewalling and maybe intrusion prevention. [21:17] anyone know how to configure dial up in a notebook toshiba, in my lspci de equipament doesn't show up [21:17] ixpl: next, of course a tor client could help there, although it adds new attack vectors. [21:17] not sure it was a while and kept off for a while too [21:17] <^Phantom^> Pidgin seems to be having trouble logging in yahoo accounts. [21:17] yeah that was my original plan [21:17] <^Phantom^> Is there any way I can troubleshoot this?

[21:18] Guest93181: ubuntu's upgrade policy is only to upgrade packages for security vulnerability and bug fixes [21:18] ^Phantom^, Guest93181 they moved their servers around [21:18] eh thats one is supposed to be being backported... [21:18] hello all [21:19] or well, moved the ones that work the way pidgin does. the default one has a new protocol which would need a new pidgin [21:19] the one in karmic will work, and i think they intend to backport it... [21:19] !welcome | Cwolf [21:19] Cwolf: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [21:20] anyone know how to configure dial up in a notebook toshiba, in my lspci de equipament doesn't show up [21:20] <^Phantom^> Thankies. It worked. [21:20] lstarnes: no it wasn't irc they were from the south-asia pacific region and some from uraguay [21:20] ^Phantom^: have fun :) [21:21] Has anyone here been able to get a 2.1 integrated sound system to work on a laptop in ubuntu 64 bit? [21:22] after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04, I'm getting several problems with memory management; the most of the memory will be cached all the time by using just 25% from it after that my system crashes by writing/reading everything to/from hard drive!! I cant see any process which is doing that, my swapping is also disabled with swapoff -a! any help please? [21:22] lukasoft: most likely the majority of users have [21:22] hello all ! i have a problem setting up a direct gigabit link between two machines , each with its own gigabit ethernet card. Has anyone done that before and found corect transfer rates ? what would you use as ifconfig parameters ? [21:22] sol1969: I just installed conky, how do I get it to output on my desktop? [21:23] creeed: why did you disable swap? [21:23] guntbert, because I have enought memory [21:24] k [21:24] is it a bot? [21:24] hbekel: I need help with my 2.1 sound. All of the sound is going through the subwoofer, and I don't know how to change that [21:24] yes [21:24] i'm on xubuntu [21:24] I was told to get it so I can see processes on my desktop [21:24] I dont understand why the most of my memory goes just to cache!! [21:24] what do you use? [21:24] creeed: feature [21:24] creeed: cache is good [21:24] lukasoft: no idea what you mean by "2.1" or "subwoofer" [21:25] makes computer run faster [21:25] diabling swap is usually a bad idea [21:25] ok [21:25] instead of continually reloading stuff into ram (and clearing it out) it just uses the cached stuff if you access it again [21:25] creeed: in my experience there is no such thing as "enough memory", see http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [21:25] please, does anybody know how to fix this problem? > my screen resolution is set to 1280x1024, but i need it at 1920x1280. i know how to change the screen resolution but the option for 1920x1280 isn't there anymore, it used to be, but now there's just blank space... anyone know how to fix this? [21:25] I'm trying to add a line to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" but it won't let me save it. [21:26] creeed: if you run out of memory you will probably get things like "low memory, killing process bla bla bla"... [21:26] it's more of a eye candy thing to make my desktop look cooler looking, kind of plain [21:26] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-swap-space.html [21:26] Hi, I'm running jaunty and I need a kernel > 2.6.29.3. I took a look at the kernel-ppa repository. How do I find the most "stable" one? [21:26] unlike windows, linux doesn't use the swap space needlessly [21:26] hibernate still needs a swap partition right? [21:26] creeed: I mean.. you'll get messages like that in the syslog or kernel log.. but it should just shut things down.. not crash.. have you tried running the memory tester?

[21:27] and /dev/cdrom doesn't show up [21:27] what are you running? [21:27] cli only? [21:27] hbekel: 2.1 means that there are two standard speakers, and a third speaker for low frequency tones. this third speaker is commonly known as a "subwoofer".

To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [21:30] lukasoft: it might help to state the card model, the driver you use, what you tried already, what you think the problem is, etc [21:30] please, does anybody know how to fix this problem? > my screen resolution is set to 1280x1024, but i need it at 1920x1280. i know how to change the screen resolution but the option for 1920x1280 isn't there anymore, it used to be, but now there's just blank space... anyone know how to fix this?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:31] Guest93181: make sure you include what graphics card you have.. what drivers you're using and so on [21:31] Guest93181: check out the link from ubottu for adding other resolutions. [21:31] prince_jammys: I did as suggested, but got the same response. http://pastebin.com/d1c4dd982 This is the file that downloaded, and my terminal msgs. [21:32] Guest93181: did you edit your xorg.conf? [21:32] I would like to use gnome catalog on xubuntu, but it doesn't seem to work: if I click to "add", nothing happens. Do you have any idea how to fix it? [21:32] Guest93181: please google before asking. === matthew_ is now known as matt12 [21:32] Slart, The problem is, after the whole memory is full (it is a relationship of 1 to 3 between the USED and CACHED memory) so I guess 30% is in use and 70% cached, so if the swap partition is on, system try to swap the whole cache on the hard drive, if the swap partition is off the system try to write or read on or from the hard drive fo a undifined time, in this time I cant use my system, I waited til an hour, so I must force it to shutting d [21:32] own! [21:32] hbekel: it seems I cannot find anything in the documentations. "Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller" idk how to check my driver. and I don't know what the problem is. I've messed around with what seems like everything in the volume control menu as well as the sound pref. menu. [21:33] creeed: cache doesn't go to swap [21:33] creeed: you get the same behaviour even when you're running a live cd? [21:33] hi I'm trying to add a line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base but i'm being told I don't have permission to save the file. [21:33] Lostin: you mean it says the file was already downloaded, but it isn't there? [21:33] cache gets cleared up as needed [21:33] matt12: sudo. [21:33] Slart, I dindnt run a lice cd [21:34] !google | mjheagle8 [21:34] mjheagle8: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [21:34] Results for | mjheagle8 on Google: [21:34] -- [21:34] mjheagle8, so I'm told...but I don't know exactly what you mean...do i add sudo to the line or am I supposed to do it all through "terminal"? [21:34] Pricey: The file is here, but all it is is kind of an "about xorg" filr..no code. [21:34] Ben64, however at this time `free -m`show me that the cache goes empty and the swap partition goes full [21:34] creeed: try it, go to http://www.linuxatemyram.com/play.html and see for yourself [21:34] mneptok: its good for ppl to learn tho. i learned linux by finding out stuff myself.. [21:35] lukasoft: 'lsmod | grep snd' might give you a clue about what module is in use. maybe snd-hda-intel? [21:35] mjheagle8: while that may be, the channel policy is the channel policy. [21:35] mneptok: sigh, i guess thats why i switched to arch tho. [21:35] creeed: try running gnome-system-monitor [21:35] mjheagle8: #archlinux is down the hall a bit ... [21:35] creeed: well.. you could try a live cd.. if that works then it's just a matter of finding out what has happened to your system that makes it different from the live cd.. perhaps a reinstall of a package might fix it.. if a live cd has the same problem I would start thinking it was an actual bug on your hardware.. [21:35] mneptok: i'm there too. :) [21:35] Hi [21:35] Pricey: If you look at my pastebin the entire file is there..all 29 lines of it. http://pastebin.com/d1c4dd982 [21:36] lukasoft: also graphical mixer apps may not display all mixer controls for your card. run alsamixer in a terminal, it'll show all the controls [21:36] xlq: open a terminal and type xset or sudo xset [21:36] hm, gnome-system-monitor doesn't show cache [21:36] what is the gconftool option for picture_options setting the background to fit the whole monitor and not zooming, please? [21:36] its not stretched, unfortunately :( [21:36] i use a system monitor on my panel, shows memory and swap [21:36] mneptok: ppl who demand help kinda annoy me. [21:36] Ben64, I run top in a test based session to reduce rating [21:37] I'm having some trouble setting up an fstab. I have an ntfs drive and I want to use the LABEL="drivelabel" but it always says file not found. [21:37] mneptok: you a mod? [21:37] Lostin: perhaps because xserver-xorg is a metapackage. [21:37] mjheagle8: no, he's a rocker [21:37] Slart, the live cd is a good idea thanks I'll try it [21:37] xlq: i'm not familiar with that term [21:37] Lostin: try apt-get source x11-common [21:38] mjheagle8: does that matter? [21:38] mjheagle8, wether he is or isnt doesnt make a difference the Ubuntu CoC requires us all to conform to irc channel policies [21:38] prince_jammys: hmm good thought I will try that [21:38] creeed: well i don't know what to tell you then, i've never seen nor heard about memory in linux acting like that [21:38] mneptok: no, just asking. [21:38] xlq: and look for the DPMS settings see if it is enabled or disabled [21:38] IdleOne: i know. i'm just stating an opinion [21:38] mjheagle8: if people asking for help annoy you, i suggest you not use support channels. [21:39] nevermind thanks mjheagle8...i did gksudo in terminal [21:39] IdleOne: nothing in the rules against that. [21:39] Lostin: if i strace xmodmap, no conf files seem to be opened. [21:39] ctmjr: where to look? xset doesn't seem to tell me anything, and my xorg.conf is pretty sparse [21:39] mneptok: i like helping poeple. the ones who ask. [21:39] i have 37% memory used, 54% cache, and 0% swap [21:39] hbekel: I've tried that as well. Doesn't show any more than the graphical interface. http://pastebin.com/m14d6cb63 [21:39] xlq: sorry it should be xset -q [21:40] mjheagle8: and that's exactly what the suer you pointed at Google did. they asked. [21:40] *user [21:40] t [21:40] mneptok: he was yelling about it. [21:40] creeed: wait, so memory goes up, cache goes down, and swap goes up? [21:40] newproggie: Did you open Preferences>Appearance>background? If you load you pic from there I think it fills screen by default [21:40] prince_jammys: whatever xmodmap does gets reset when you reboot.. that makes me think it doesn't change any files at all.. but changes some in-memory settings only [21:40] Slart: seems so [21:41] Lostin: i don't think there's any files involved. shame on them if there are, and not mentioned at the bottom of man xmodmap ;) [21:41] Hi guys, how do i set chmod for directory only and its subdirs, without affecting the files in it? [21:41] (any conf files, i should say) [21:41] blognewb: find -type d -exec chmod ... {} \; [21:42] xlq: oh wow includes the subdir too? oh there -type d [21:42] It says DPMS is enabled. After "xset -dpms", it says DPMS is disabled. But it's still turning off, even after I do that. [21:42] How do I rename a usb mounted drive? [21:42] changes its volume name? [21:42] detrix: you change the label of the file system on it [21:42] prince_jammys: All I am trying to do is mod the file that assigns values too XF86 buttons [21:43] blognewb: of course without -R in the chmod command you pass to find. [21:43] detrix: there are different utilities for doing that.. depending on what file system it is .. there's one utility for ntfs, one for ext2/3, one for xfs and so on [21:43] Slart: ntfs [21:43] blognewb: run find without the -exec clause and you'll see what it'd run it on [21:43] detrix: make sure you backup your files before trying to change the label.. there is another kind of "label" as well.. if you change the wrong label the contents of the drive will be wiped clean [21:43] Slart: windows compatible [21:44] detrix: then it's probably in ntfsprogs [21:44] Slart: the usb drive is the backup drive.... [21:44] xlq: thanks [21:44] prince_jammys: i did that but the subdirs were not affected [21:44] they should have been [21:45] detrix: I think it's ntfslabel.. note.. I *think*... make a backup of the files on the drive before trying that command.. [21:45] I reckon it's not DPMS that's doing it :\ [21:45] blognewb: I meant without -R in the command xlq posted. [21:45] a mere reminder [21:46] lukasoft: maybe you will need to use a special "model" option for your driver (snd-hda-intel according to lsmod). Try to find out the model and chipset and wether it needs special options [21:46] anyone know how to proply install and get working the nvidia drivers for a hp pctablet tc1100 [21:46] prince_jammys: I tried apt-get for x11-common and still get the same terminal msgs [21:46] R google dude [21:46] Slart: I don't seem to have ntfslabel. [21:47] detrix: try installing ntfsprogs first sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs [21:47] hbekel: how do I find out if it needs special options? [21:47] prince_jammys: I am gonna try xorg's web site, and launchpad...brb [21:48] lukasoft: hmm google for your model, maybe? I'd check the kernel docs as well. to see the options available: modinfo snd-hda-intel and look for lines starting with parm [21:49] lukasoft: you should probably find something more specific than "2.1 subwoofer" to describe your model ;) [21:49] Slart: Ok, got it....but I cant back up the drive. it is the back up drive. 245Gb out of 500Gb used, I dont have any other place to back that up to [21:50] detrix: then I wouldn't recommend experimenting on it [21:50] have u got the internal mic working on HP mini? [21:50] :( [21:50] anyone know how to proply install and get working the nvidia drivers for a hp pctablet tc1100 [21:51] Slart: I am reading the man page on it [21:51] Lostin: maybe xserver-xorg-core (apt-cache search xserver-xorg and look at its dependencies) [21:52] when I restart or shutdown, my computer gets hung up for several minutes at this screen with the message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/254727/ [21:52] whats the select all hot keys? [21:53] How can I disable Freetype bytecode interpreter and use the autohinter instead? [21:54] prince_jammys: I am looking at it now [21:54] Many fonts have buggy bytecode causing them to display incorrectly when anti-aliasing is used and then the bytecode interpreter causes very bad results (e.g. italic z is rendered without the diagonal line). [21:54] Lostin: that'll get you more code than you want ;) [21:55] Hey, I'm trying to install the driver for my Radeon x300- but when I use sh to run the .run file, I get this: [21:55] Lostin: check out the files in /etc/X11 too, maybe.

[22:28] Pseudo_Bob: if it's not supported anymore, you can try an older version of ubuntu === Shinobi is now known as Guest36517 [22:28] guntbert: What's the open source driver/where do I get it? [22:28] th0r, such as... stream a webcam to someone, though instead of a webcam stream, it's an AVI or the like. [22:29] Pseudo_Bob: are you sure you need this mysterious driver in order to install Catalyst? did you actually try to install it? [22:29] Jason2gs: then you don't want to fake a webcam at all...you want to stream an avi file? [22:29] ok, so my linux machine, my poor ubuntu 9.04 box [22:29] is in the process of crashing right now [22:29] I have 400 CRON processes [22:29] Yep. Lemme copy the error message I got... [22:29] and stacking [22:30] I use this thing for monitoring and it's been crashing since I upgraded the other day (2 weeks ago) every few days [22:30] are there any users on gnumed here? [22:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/254751/ [22:30] anyone have any idea what I can do to help pinpoint the issue?

You can change that in the file /etc/default/bootlogd (change to "Yes") [22:33] so, i was here before.. i get an error when trying to mount to my HD. i ahve a LIve CD of Ubuntu 9.04 [22:33] how do i install ttf fonts in ubuntu? it was easy enough in kubuntu but all i can find on google are methods that require the command line [22:33] friedmeat: then i believe the messages will be saved to /var/log/boot [22:33] SubCool: what error? [22:33] Ahri, and you have some kind of alergy of the command line? [22:33] uh- let me post it again. [22:33] friedmeat: the other thing i said about /boot/grub/menu.lst still holds, for viewing messages on bootup. [22:34] Is there a way to save the live ubuntu usb flash drive configuration, so that when changes are made they do not disappear on reboot? Please. [22:34] if I want to escalate to root for my GUI do I use sudo -s or sudo se- [22:34] There are a few programs out there for Windows, I'm fairly sure, that do it. One aptly-named "Fake Webcam", which I've not tried. Also a few applications brewed up on Linux which I think are intended to do about the same thing, though I may be wrong. AVLD and vloopback. They create /dev/video* devices and allow you to pump video to it, though I haven't been able to get it to work. [22:34] this is SOOOOO frustrating [22:34] hackulator: you use gksudo [22:34] th0r, ^ [22:34] guntbert: It says I have the newest xserver-xorg-video-ati version already. [22:34] theatro: yes, i do [22:34] gksudo is for opening an app as root though, I just want to BE root for a while in my GUI [22:35] theatro: but strangely enough, only when using ubuntu [22:35] ^Phantom^: unfortunately it is specifically listed as not supported http://www.sane-project.org/unsupported/visioneer-onetouch4400.html [22:36] <^Phantom^> How about with a different scanning software [22:36] hackulator: you'd have to activate the root user, which isn't recommended here. [22:36] <^Phantom^> ? [22:36] hackulator: Why would you want to do that? [22:36] hackulator: it's best to run individual apps with gksudo, OR sudo -i in a terminal and invoke the GUI apps from that terminal. [22:36] Pseudo_Bob: and that is not ok for you? [22:36] bucky: Still going through that thread, thanks [22:36] i just installed karmic (UNR) but the netbook desktop keeps crashing. how do i bring it back? [22:37] *sigh* well it's a good thing i'm not a newbie to linux or i'd get pretty fed up having to mess with the command line just to install a font [22:37] bye, then [22:37] guntbert: Well, it still doesn't work. [22:37] morecowbell: /j #ubuntu+1 [22:37] so that I can move through apps and open and close them without having to use the terminal and gksudo every time [22:37] ^Phantom^: the only way i'd know would be to off load scan jobs to a windows machine over samba... or go get a cheap scanner that has xsane [22:37] guntbert: Installing Catalyst, that is. [22:37] prince_jammys: ok thanks [22:37] so in addition to stacking cron processes, it won't let me start new shells [22:38] <^Phantom^> THIS SCANNER WAS CHEAP [22:38] sudo -s -H hangs, su - hangs [22:38] ^Phantom^: that's usually the problem [22:38] hackulator: Any administrative applications in System -> Administration prompt you for privileges before opening anyway, I'm not seeing why you would want to run an application as root otherwise [22:38] Pseudo_Bob: catalyst is *not* for the open source driver!!! === blutgens is now known as mem-nb [22:38] sudo kill hangs [22:38] <^Phantom^> I bought it for two dollars at a thrift store.

I knew that. I guess I have a lot less of an idea what I'm doing than you think :P Where can I find installation instructions for that? [22:39] hackulator: You'll need to tell us more information, what exactly are you trying to do and what requires root privileges? [22:39] In that thread it suggested Catalyst [22:39] Pseudo_Bob: why do you want catalyst? [22:39] hackulator, you can edit your menu entry to gksudo vmware, instead of just vmware.....but i think your just not doing something right.. [22:39] anyone her euse 3+ monitors? [22:39] guntbert: I don't know I just want a driver for my video card! Any driver will do >_> [22:40] mainly setting up virtual boxes in partitions that belone to root, and I don't want to change the permissions on those partitions at this time [22:40] .....

[22:42] hackulator: Partitions can't have permissions / owners, but why don't you want to change the permissions of the mount point, or even just the virtual harddisk? [22:42] Pseudo_Bob: what's the name of the x300 anyway? [22:42] dansku: i="good"; t="day; echo "$i$t" [22:42] is there any instructions on how to get Lotus Notes 6.5 to work on 64 bit ubuntu? [22:42] bucky: I followed the link that Svensk023 gave in his second post and it took me to Catalyst [22:43] dansku: with the missing " after "day [22:43] ^Phantom^: reverse engineer a driver for it like the rest of the scanner drivers in linux.. they're all reverse engineered [22:43] Which I'm being told is not what I want.

Which name would that be? [22:43] because I already know how to do that, I'm basically teaching myself linux and I want to learn various commands/ways to do things, I don't really care if I break my machine because of something I do while I'm root, since breaking a system and fixing it is a good way to learn anyway, I've already broken my box 3 times in the last day lol [22:44] Pseudo_Bob: i guess it's called a Radeon [22:44] Guest93181, rythmbox does,...its installed at default [22:44] ty [22:44] Pseudo_Bob: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx [22:44] hackulator, but what you are trying to do is a bad idea.... dont leard bad idea...learn the proper way [22:44] Pseudo_Bob: x386 ? not AMD64 right? [22:44] Guest93181, that's very vague... Many media applications will stream audio, such as Rhythmbox, MPlayer, VLC, etc... [22:44] why is it a bad idea?

[23:04] Giddorah: when you have LiveCD screen, there is some options at the bottom of the screen, try the last one if I remember well. [23:04] Aight, brb [23:04] Giddorah: and ofc disable ACPI in bios [23:04] herenbdy_: you should be able to set it with the options in the viewport switcher then, I think [23:04] bucky: Alright, I click Linux x86 and not x86_64 [23:05] Heia :) I have a strange problem with my ubuntu, it seems to think i have a very small screen but it is actually 19"... how do I make ubuntu know that I have a compaq P920 monitor?

[23:08] ftw: how do you configure them [23:08] bucky: Done [23:08] fotis_: use 'make oldconfig' first to start with the config of your currently running kernel [23:08] herenbdy_: yeah that is odd....maybe you bound those to something else? [23:08] Pseudo_Bob: did it install ok with no errors? [23:09] hackulator: nope, it gives you an error message about conflicting key combinations usually [23:09] fotis_: then remove only things you are certain you don't need [23:09] bucky: I can't get the none-_64 one. [23:09] Pseudo_Bob: i was having a hard time finding it on ati's site too [23:09] hackulator: oh well, ctrl + scroll is good enough [23:09] fotis_: if unsure, press ?, it'll tell you what to choose if unsure [23:09] bucky: Any other places I can find it? [23:10] thanks hbekel [23:10] herenbdy_: yeah I'm pretty new to linux so I'm not sure what else to try, the only reason I could help at all was compiz was the first thing I downloaded and taught myself to use lol [23:10] do you guys know if there is a PCM equalizer for linux ??
